A wonderful story
00:00:18.08\00:00:19.41
from the islands of Sao
Tome and Principe in Africa,
00:00:19.45\00:00:23.05
a center of
influence in San Diego, Chile,
00:00:23.08\00:00:26.32
and an exotic recipe
from the Mission 360 Kitchen,
00:00:26.35\00:00:29.82
all this and much
more coming up next.
00:00:29.86\00:00:32.39
Hello, and
welcome to Mission 360.
00:01:15.14\00:01:17.01
I'm Gary Krause.
00:01:17.04\00:01:18.47
Today's program is
coming to you from San Jose,
00:01:18.51\00:01:21.21
the capital
00:01:21.24\00:01:22.58
and the largest
city in Costa Rica.
00:01:22.61\00:01:25.25
When you think of Costa Rica,
00:01:25.28\00:01:26.61
you may think of
postcard beaches,
00:01:26.65\00:01:28.92
exotic wildlife,
beautiful birds, jungles,
00:01:28.95\00:01:32.65
and if you think
that, you'd be correct.
00:01:32.69\00:01:34.52
Because this is a place
that takes its nature seriously
00:01:34.56\00:01:37.99
and tourists come
from all over the world
00:01:38.03\00:01:40.16
to enjoy the
beauty of Costa Rica.
00:01:40.20\00:01:42.50
On today's program,
00:01:42.53\00:01:43.87
we're gonna be
looking at mission
00:01:43.90\00:01:45.23
right here in this country.
00:01:45.27\00:01:46.60
But first up, let's travel
to the country of Andorra,
00:01:46.63\00:01:49.40
which is sandwiched
between Spain and France.
00:01:49.44\00:01:53.24
I have eight sons
00:02:01.75\00:02:03.25
who would soon have
to enlist in the army
00:02:03.28\00:02:06.15
and face serious
Sabbath challenges.
00:02:06.19\00:02:10.73
To protect my sons,
00:02:10.76\00:02:12.99
I moved here as a
literature evangelist.
00:02:13.03\00:02:16.00
Forty years ago,
00:02:19.00\00:02:20.37
Juan Amigo was sent to
Andorra to work as a colporteur
00:02:20.40\00:02:23.51
and to plant
00:02:23.54\00:02:24.87
the first Adventist congregation
00:02:24.91\00:02:26.31
in the nation.
00:02:26.34\00:02:27.68
Andorra is a speck on the map,
00:02:27.71\00:02:29.38
sandwiched
between France and Spain.
00:02:29.41\00:02:32.21
It lies in the valleys
of a mountainous region
00:02:32.25\00:02:34.52
where millions of tourists come
00:02:34.55\00:02:36.25
for exciting sports
activities every year.
00:02:36.28\00:02:38.39
This country
00:02:42.49\00:02:43.83
was one of the last
un-entered territories
00:02:43.86\00:02:45.73
of the inter-European division.
00:02:45.76\00:02:47.96
At that time,
00:02:48.00\00:02:49.33
Juan and his family
00:02:49.36\00:02:50.70
were the only
Adventists in the country.
00:02:50.73\00:02:52.47
Today, five of his
sons remain in Andorra
00:02:52.50\00:02:55.14
and have leadership roles
00:02:55.17\00:02:56.81
in the only
Adventist congregation there.
00:02:56.84\00:02:59.47
Our church is a bit
different than other countries.
00:02:59.51\00:03:02.81
Actually in Andorra,
there's no church registration.
00:03:02.84\00:03:06.18
So we cannot exist as a church,
00:03:06.21\00:03:08.48
so we created
ourselves as our association.
00:03:08.52\00:03:11.19
And this is a way
00:03:11.22\00:03:12.55
that we can
operate in this country.
00:03:12.59\00:03:16.02
We are a small group.
00:03:16.06\00:03:17.46
We have 25 members
of whom 14 are children.
00:03:17.49\00:03:20.70
For several years we did
many evangelistic campaigns
00:03:24.13\00:03:27.00
without many results.
00:03:27.04\00:03:28.37
We decided to stop to
pray until God showed us
00:03:30.94\00:03:33.78
where we should
focus our efforts.
00:03:33.81\00:03:35.91
Now we are focusing our
efforts on our children,
00:03:41.52\00:03:44.75
and our children's
friends, and our friends too.
00:03:44.79\00:03:47.32
Putting kids first
00:04:01.74\00:04:03.07
has reshaped the style and flow
00:04:03.10\00:04:04.94
of this church's worship.
00:04:04.97\00:04:06.64
On Friday evenings,
00:04:06.68\00:04:08.01
adult members meet at
the church for vespers
00:04:08.04\00:04:10.48
and study the Sabbath
school quarterly lesson
00:04:10.51\00:04:12.51
ahead of schedule.
00:04:12.55\00:04:14.05
This allows
extra time for the kids
00:04:14.08\00:04:15.82
during regular
Sabbath morning activities.
00:04:15.85\00:04:18.72
The study is a great way
to enter the Sabbath day.
00:04:18.75\00:04:21.59
You know, in church,
00:04:21.62\00:04:22.96
we're not used
to put kids first.
00:04:22.99\00:04:25.16
We don't give them a
place in front in the stage.
00:04:25.19\00:04:28.66
For example,
00:04:28.70\00:04:30.07
many times maybe
only once a trimester.
00:04:30.10\00:04:32.60
So we started
focusing to do activities
00:04:32.63\00:04:36.10
as the pathfinders for our kids.
00:04:36.14\00:04:40.38
That's actually
what every church does.
00:04:40.41\00:04:43.58
But we also created the
space Saturday morning for them,
00:04:43.61\00:04:47.85
where they have kind
of a sermon for kids.
00:04:47.88\00:04:50.29
They have some activity for kids
00:04:50.32\00:04:51.82
and also for the grown-up,
00:04:51.85\00:04:53.19
so we can interact them and us
00:04:53.22\00:04:55.72
and we can learn from the kids
and the kids can learn from us.
00:04:55.76\00:04:58.53
This week's teacher
00:05:05.77\00:05:07.10
presents a
message from the Bible.
00:05:07.14\00:05:08.80
She brings visual illustrations
00:05:08.84\00:05:10.84
and a kid friendly sermon
00:05:10.87\00:05:12.21
that is also
enjoyable for adults.
00:05:12.24\00:05:14.61
Afterward, the
children break into classes
00:05:14.64\00:05:16.75
to study their quarterly lesson,
00:05:16.78\00:05:18.85
then the adults enjoy
00:05:18.88\00:05:20.22
a special
message in the main hall.
00:05:20.25\00:05:22.75
Once a month, a
delicious potluck is served
00:05:22.78\00:05:25.42
with a lot of
international dishes
00:05:25.45\00:05:27.09
and flavors.
00:05:27.12\00:05:28.62
This is a great opportunity
to grow relationships
00:05:28.66\00:05:31.79
and nourish the body.
00:05:31.83\00:05:33.73
The children of this church
00:05:33.76\00:05:35.10
are catered to in a special way.
00:05:35.13\00:05:37.20
They are put first
00:05:37.23\00:05:38.57
because this group
wants them to take leadership
00:05:38.60\00:05:40.80
and ownership of church life.
00:05:40.84\00:05:43.51
They are the future
of this congregation.
00:05:43.54\00:05:46.04
And through them,
00:05:46.07\00:05:47.41
friends and parents are
invited to many fun activities.
00:05:47.44\00:05:50.98
Please pray
00:05:51.01\00:05:52.35
for Adventist
children around the world
00:05:52.38\00:05:54.22
who will lead God's
Church in the coming days.
00:05:54.25\00:05:57.39
And thank you for your
support of the mission offering
00:05:57.42\00:06:00.09
which help start this church.
00:06:00.12\00:06:02.22
My guests, Dr.
Frank and Diana Atavia,
00:06:23.24\00:06:26.58
who are from Costa Rica,
00:06:26.61\00:06:28.58
but are serving as
missionaries in Bangladesh.
00:06:28.62\00:06:31.05
Thanks for joining me. Hello.
00:06:31.09\00:06:32.72
Now tell me what made you decide
00:06:32.75\00:06:36.22
to travel all the
way from Costa Rica
00:06:36.26\00:06:38.43
to a very
different country to serve?
00:06:38.46\00:06:41.73
Well, it was an invitation.
00:06:41.76\00:06:43.97
We say it was just a call.
00:06:44.00\00:06:45.67
It was a call and
we accepted the call.
00:06:45.70\00:06:47.20
We were not
expecting, we were not planning,
00:06:47.24\00:06:49.27
but God opened all the doors in.
00:06:49.30\00:06:51.77
Okay, so you're working as
a dentist here in San Jose?
00:06:51.81\00:06:54.38
Yes.
00:06:54.41\00:06:55.74
And what did you expect
from your work in Bangladesh,
00:06:55.78\00:07:02.02
what were your expectations?
00:07:02.05\00:07:04.02
What were my expectations? Yes.
00:07:04.05\00:07:05.89
Well, I was not expecting
00:07:05.92\00:07:07.26
that it was
going to be so tough.
00:07:07.29\00:07:08.72
Okay.
00:07:08.76\00:07:10.09
It is challenging,
00:07:10.13\00:07:11.46
but thank God we
have been going on.
00:07:11.49\00:07:13.76
The things have
been going on well.
00:07:13.80\00:07:15.40
Now it's very crowded, traffic
00:07:15.43\00:07:19.63
and sometimes we have to travel
00:07:19.67\00:07:22.20
one hour and a half
back and forth every day.
00:07:22.24\00:07:25.07
So I wasn't expecting
that huge amount of traffic.
00:07:25.11\00:07:29.54
And the challenge to
clean it, but we're doing well.
00:07:29.58\00:07:32.45
Thank you. Yeah, good, good.
00:07:32.48\00:07:33.82
Diana, what was it like for you
00:07:33.85\00:07:35.32
to arrive in
Bangladesh into Dhaka
00:07:35.35\00:07:37.75
and now this is your new home?
00:07:37.79\00:07:40.19
It was so hard
because one year and a half,
00:07:40.22\00:07:42.92
because we have one
year and half to live there.
00:07:42.96\00:07:45.36
In one year and half
00:07:45.39\00:07:46.73
I didn't know how
to speak by English,
00:07:46.76\00:07:48.63
neither Bangla, only
a few words in English.
00:07:48.66\00:07:52.53
So in this year I
learn back English
00:07:52.57\00:07:55.24
and recently we started Bangla.
00:07:55.27\00:07:57.67
Another thing
00:07:57.71\00:07:59.04
is because this
is a Muslim country,
00:07:59.07\00:08:01.31
so for the
ladies is more difficult
00:08:01.34\00:08:04.15
because you have to
change everything, your clothes,
00:08:04.18\00:08:07.75
the way you do speak
with in front of people,
00:08:07.78\00:08:10.99
in front of men.
00:08:11.02\00:08:12.35
So it's a little
hard for a Latina woman,
00:08:12.39\00:08:16.73
but it's okay.
00:08:16.76\00:08:18.09
It's okay. I like it.
00:08:18.13\00:08:19.46
Good, good, good. It's
a big challenge but nice.
00:08:19.49\00:08:21.50
Excellent.
00:08:21.53\00:08:22.86
Now describe for me your work?
00:08:22.90\00:08:25.93
Okay, well,
00:08:25.97\00:08:27.30
the clinic has been established
by General Conference in 1974
00:08:27.34\00:08:31.61
as a second
income generating tithes
00:08:31.64\00:08:34.48
for the organization.
00:08:34.51\00:08:35.94
So we have two clinics now.
00:08:35.98\00:08:37.95
One low-cost clinic
00:08:37.98\00:08:39.41
in the campus of
the union in Mirpur
00:08:39.45\00:08:42.28
and now the big clinic
is in the shopping mall,
00:08:42.32\00:08:43.75
Jamuna Future Park
00:08:43.79\00:08:45.12
which is one of the
biggest shopping mall.
00:08:45.15\00:08:47.02
It was the biggest.
00:08:47.06\00:08:48.39
But now it's like
the second or the third
00:08:48.42\00:08:50.53
biggest shopping mall
in Asia, Southern Asia.
00:08:50.56\00:08:53.50
So the majority of the
people that goes to the clinic
00:08:53.53\00:08:56.70
are VIP people, rich people,
00:08:56.73\00:08:58.77
wealthy people
from the community.
00:08:58.80\00:09:01.80
They look for the clinic
00:09:01.84\00:09:04.71
because they are expecting
always a foreign doctor,
00:09:04.74\00:09:07.74
they are expecting
good quality service.
00:09:07.78\00:09:10.28
And of course, we were
trying to put in practice
00:09:10.31\00:09:12.68
as much as we can
00:09:12.71\00:09:14.05
the Christ method
to mingle with them,
00:09:14.08\00:09:17.15
to satisfy their needs
00:09:17.19\00:09:19.52
and, of course,
become friends with them.
00:09:19.55\00:09:20.92
And well, we are happy to see
00:09:20.96\00:09:22.72
that how God has
been opening doors
00:09:22.76\00:09:25.09
because now we are
getting more connections
00:09:25.13\00:09:27.40
with our patients.
00:09:27.43\00:09:28.76
And there are some stories
that we'll share with you.
00:09:28.80\00:09:31.70
Wonderful.
00:09:31.73\00:09:33.07
Now the other clinic
00:09:33.10\00:09:34.80
there's one in
the shopping mall,
00:09:34.84\00:09:36.17
then the other clinic,
00:09:36.20\00:09:37.54
who does that
other clinic serve?
00:09:37.57\00:09:39.77
The clinic that
it's in the union campus.
00:09:39.81\00:09:43.24
It was recently opened
just two or three months ago.
00:09:43.28\00:09:46.31
The idea is also to be
00:09:46.35\00:09:47.82
an extended center of influence,
00:09:47.85\00:09:49.68
both of them
00:09:49.72\00:09:51.05
part of the center
of influence program.
00:09:51.09\00:09:53.56
So the clinic is,
00:09:53.59\00:09:54.92
mainly they're
targeting the campus
00:09:54.96\00:09:56.76
and the union campus is to,
00:09:56.79\00:09:58.43
the target is the people
00:09:58.46\00:09:59.79
who lives in
the surrounding area
00:09:59.83\00:10:01.33
and some of the church workers.
00:10:01.36\00:10:02.70
Wonderful.
00:10:02.73\00:10:04.07
Diana, tell me a
story from your experience?
00:10:04.10\00:10:06.63
Well, I work in woman
ministry, woman ministry.
00:10:06.67\00:10:10.17
The name is Paluvu Handicraft.
00:10:10.21\00:10:12.14
So we teach the ladies
how to make handicrafts,
00:10:12.17\00:10:15.64
cross-stitch and bags, purses?
00:10:15.68\00:10:19.78
Yes, purses. Purses.
00:10:19.81\00:10:21.28
So and now we'll
start also with bakery.
00:10:21.32\00:10:24.05
So I teach them how to prepare
brown bread, oatmeal cookies,
00:10:24.09\00:10:28.46
sweet bread.
00:10:28.49\00:10:29.82
So they're so
happy, we work with Muslim,
00:10:29.86\00:10:33.46
Hindu and other
Christian ladies there.
00:10:33.50\00:10:36.26
Wonderful. Terrific.
00:10:36.30\00:10:38.03
Now what about the story
00:10:38.07\00:10:40.37
you were mentioning
earlier about Bibles?
00:10:40.40\00:10:42.17
What was that about?
00:10:42.20\00:10:44.44
You see, the Bibles was amazing.
00:10:44.47\00:10:46.17
It's interesting, shocking.
00:10:46.21\00:10:47.54
What happened is that
00:10:47.58\00:10:49.34
one day we were invited to
join one Christian service,
00:10:49.38\00:10:53.28
one Christian program.
00:10:53.31\00:10:54.78
You know, different religions,
00:10:54.82\00:10:56.79
invited to worship and testify.
00:10:56.82\00:10:58.92
And then at the
end of the service
00:10:58.95\00:11:00.49
they said,
00:11:00.52\00:11:01.86
if any one of you wants
to have Bibles to give away,
00:11:01.89\00:11:05.53
you can give.
00:11:05.56\00:11:06.90
The person in
charge of that ministry,
00:11:06.93\00:11:08.60
in fact, he has a school.
00:11:08.63\00:11:10.10
He has an English school.
00:11:10.13\00:11:11.47
So in the library of his school,
00:11:11.50\00:11:12.83
he always put Bibles.
00:11:12.87\00:11:14.74
So the students, they
always steal the Bibles.
00:11:14.77\00:11:18.57
So he gets the Bibles,
00:11:18.61\00:11:20.78
he puts the Bible
mainly to be stolen
00:11:20.81\00:11:24.85
by the students.
00:11:24.88\00:11:26.28
Wonderful. See,
that's his ministry.
00:11:26.31\00:11:27.68
So he said, if you
want to take some Bibles
00:11:27.72\00:11:29.28
to your house or
for your ministry,
00:11:29.32\00:11:30.65
so we took.
00:11:30.69\00:11:32.02
How many Bibles we took? Eleven.
00:11:32.05\00:11:33.39
Eleven Bibles.
We took 11 Bibles.
00:11:33.42\00:11:35.36
So the traffic is
crowded, really crowded.
00:11:35.39\00:11:40.50
What, we was with the technician
00:11:40.53\00:11:42.50
of the clinic,
00:11:42.53\00:11:44.70
Pradeep. Pradeep.
00:11:44.73\00:11:46.63
So I told her let's take an Uber
00:11:46.67\00:11:49.60
and then Pradeep said,
no, let's take the bus.
00:11:49.64\00:11:51.41
But the buses are
small, not comfortable.
00:11:51.44\00:11:54.81
And I said okay, let's go
00:11:54.84\00:11:56.48
because he was
already with one foot
00:11:56.51\00:11:59.81
on the step of the bus.
00:11:59.85\00:12:01.18
Let's go.
00:12:01.22\00:12:02.55
So we tried to sit on the
bus. So we were on the bus.
00:12:02.58\00:12:05.65
Very small bus.
00:12:05.69\00:12:07.02
I tried to see it
00:12:07.06\00:12:08.39
and there was no
place for my knees.
00:12:08.42\00:12:09.76
No place to bend her knees.
00:12:09.79\00:12:11.13
He said, "Oh, my
God." And they...
00:12:11.16\00:12:12.56
And also in the
bus, they have fans.
00:12:12.59\00:12:15.43
Oh, okay. I said okay.
00:12:15.46\00:12:17.93
Instead of AC, they have like...
00:12:17.97\00:12:21.20
A fan? A fan, some fans.
00:12:21.24\00:12:23.14
Anyway, so we said,
okay, let's drop now.
00:12:23.17\00:12:29.21
And then when we
came out of the bus,
00:12:29.24\00:12:32.41
suddenly, you told, you
ask, "Where are the Bibles?"
00:12:32.45\00:12:36.95
And we said, "Oh, we
left inside of the bus."
00:12:36.99\00:12:41.96
And then we
didn't know what to do.
00:12:41.99\00:12:43.76
Then Pradeep,
Pradeep, he is 60 plus.
00:12:43.79\00:12:45.89
He's in about two
years of his retirement.
00:12:45.93\00:12:49.40
And then he said,
"Don't worry, Doctor.
00:12:49.43\00:12:52.07
I'm going to get those Bibles."
00:12:52.10\00:12:54.74
And we said...
00:12:54.77\00:12:56.10
And in that hour
was the worst traffic,
00:12:56.14\00:13:00.28
in the worst time.
00:13:00.31\00:13:02.11
So there was a lot of
traffic and a lot also buses
00:13:02.14\00:13:07.78
and he said which one?
00:13:07.82\00:13:11.65
We were sitting in
the last, in the last.
00:13:11.69\00:13:14.39
In the last seat, in
the last aisle of seats.
00:13:14.42\00:13:16.52
So I told him, don't worry,
00:13:16.56\00:13:19.73
you know, if someone
else get those Bibles
00:13:19.76\00:13:21.90
that will be a blessing.
00:13:21.93\00:13:23.80
Let's pray and we can
get more extra Bibles.
00:13:23.83\00:13:25.73
Don't worry.
00:13:25.77\00:13:27.10
But, you know,
00:13:27.14\00:13:28.47
we are used to
go to their library
00:13:28.50\00:13:29.84
and get extra Bibles for us.
00:13:29.87\00:13:31.21
It's very easy,
00:13:31.24\00:13:32.57
but in those days
00:13:32.61\00:13:33.94
is to get a Bible contextualized
00:13:33.98\00:13:36.64
written in their own
language is not an easy thing.
00:13:36.68\00:13:38.71
No.
00:13:38.75\00:13:40.08
So he said, "I will
get the Bibles, Doctor.
00:13:40.12\00:13:42.85
Don't worry, I will see.
00:13:42.88\00:13:45.25
You go to your house."
00:13:45.29\00:13:46.62
We said, "Okay, we'll."
00:13:46.65\00:13:49.46
To be honest, we were
like, lacking of faith.
00:13:49.49\00:13:51.73
And said, "Okay."
Okay, let's see what happen.
00:13:51.76\00:13:54.46
So we took the rickshaw.
00:13:54.50\00:13:56.87
A rickshaw is a
bicycle with a...
00:13:56.90\00:14:00.24
I don't know...
Seats at the back?
00:14:00.27\00:14:01.60
Yeah. Yes, with
seats in the back.
00:14:01.64\00:14:02.97
Yeah.
00:14:03.00\00:14:04.34
So but on the way we
said, okay, let's pray.
00:14:04.37\00:14:07.18
For Pradeep and the Bibles.
00:14:07.21\00:14:08.84
You know, in that moment
I did my prayer in two ways.
00:14:08.88\00:14:11.78
I said, Lord, if the Bibles...
00:14:11.81\00:14:14.52
If Pradeep finds the
Bibles, praise to Your name,
00:14:14.55\00:14:17.42
but if someone
else get those Bibles,
00:14:17.45\00:14:21.56
please let those
Bibles be properly used.
00:14:21.59\00:14:26.59
So we reached our house,
00:14:26.63\00:14:29.86
we start preparing the
meal cooking for the next day.
00:14:29.90\00:14:33.77
And we started feeling bad.
00:14:33.80\00:14:35.67
He said, "Okay, he's late.
00:14:35.70\00:14:38.21
We are in home. He is..."
00:14:38.24\00:14:40.11
No news about Pradeep.
00:14:40.14\00:14:41.48
No news and I
almost started crying.
00:14:41.51\00:14:44.01
He said, "For
Pradeep I feel so bad."
00:14:44.05\00:14:45.75
Let's pray for him.
So we prayed, she prayed.
00:14:45.78\00:14:52.19
She cried, "Oh, Lord, please,
00:14:52.22\00:14:55.46
if there is
something that You can do.
00:14:55.49\00:14:57.43
We know You can do it."
00:14:57.46\00:14:58.79
We were choking about his faith.
00:14:58.83\00:15:02.00
We were impressed.
00:15:02.03\00:15:03.37
We were
impressed about his faith.
00:15:03.40\00:15:05.63
So we prayed, "Lord,
please, You can do it.
00:15:05.67\00:15:10.84
Let Your will be done.
00:15:10.87\00:15:12.67
Thirty minutes later
it was almost 11:00 pm,
00:15:12.71\00:15:16.34
Pradeep called and said,
00:15:16.38\00:15:18.01
"Doctor, today is my lucky day."
00:15:18.05\00:15:21.85
And I said what happened?
00:15:21.88\00:15:24.75
"I found the
Bibles." I found the...
00:15:24.79\00:15:28.16
Just remember it.
00:15:28.19\00:15:29.52
Just remembering that.
00:15:29.56\00:15:31.53
He said, "Doctor
I found the bag."
00:15:31.56\00:15:33.90
It was in the same
spot after two hours.
00:15:33.93\00:15:36.23
What I was doing?
00:15:36.26\00:15:37.60
He said I was
coming inside of every bus,
00:15:37.63\00:15:40.90
every bus
because I didn't remember
00:15:40.94\00:15:43.04
the driver, you know,
00:15:43.07\00:15:44.41
it wasn't easy to
remember even the bus
00:15:44.44\00:15:46.27
but I was
getting into every bus.
00:15:46.31\00:15:49.81
Finally I got and I
went to the final aisle
00:15:49.84\00:15:53.08
and I found the bags.
00:15:53.11\00:15:54.45
Probably the people said,
00:15:54.48\00:15:55.82
"This might be
something dangerous.
00:15:55.85\00:15:57.35
This might be a
bomb or detonator.
00:15:57.39\00:15:59.32
They just saw one bag there.
00:15:59.35\00:16:02.42
So nobody touched it.
00:16:02.46\00:16:03.79
So he said, "Now
we have the Bibles
00:16:03.83\00:16:06.19
to give away in the clinic."
00:16:06.23\00:16:08.76
So...
00:16:08.80\00:16:10.13
Wonderful.
00:16:10.17\00:16:11.50
That's a great
story. It was a blessing.
00:16:11.53\00:16:13.37
And we always
remember that and say,
00:16:13.40\00:16:15.94
"God is still in care
00:16:15.97\00:16:19.11
of His children, of His church."
00:16:19.14\00:16:20.48
Beautiful.
00:16:20.51\00:16:21.84
Thank you so much for
sharing with us today.
00:16:21.88\00:16:24.25
Thank you. Thank you.
00:16:24.28\00:16:26.28
Sometimes we don't
appreciate the value of Bibles.
00:16:26.31\00:16:29.28
We take them for granted,
00:16:29.32\00:16:30.65
but they're so special
00:16:30.69\00:16:32.02
and that still
speaks to people today.
00:16:32.05\00:16:33.42
And it's so important in region
00:16:33.46\00:16:35.26
such as where the
Atavias are working.
00:16:35.29\00:16:37.53
We'll be right
back after this break.
00:16:37.56\00:16:39.79
