00:17 Welcome back to San Jose, Costa Rica.
00:20 And I'm standing in the Avenida Segunda, 00:22 the main thoroughfare through the city. 00:25 Next up, we travel to the Mission 360 Kitchen 00:28 to learn how to make a strawberry and spinach salad. 00:32 I'm game, if you are game. 00:34 Welcome to our Mission 360 Kitchen. 00:36 We're going to take you to France today 00:38 and we are going to make a spinach and strawberry salad. 00:42 And that is going to be a very nice springtime 00:46 addition to your menus. 00:47 But, of course, you can have it any time of the year 00:49 because the ingredients are almost always available. 00:52 So all we do... 00:54 And the thing that's nice about salads 00:56 is that they're not precise measurements. 00:58 You just kind of fill your bowl or your platter or whatever, 01:02 so it makes it easy. 01:04 So I'm going to take some pre-washed spinach, 01:08 baby spinach and just lay this out on the platter like this 01:12 until I have enough for my guests 01:16 or until the bowl or platter looks nice and full. 01:23 And then we're just going to top it off 01:25 with some sliced strawberries. 01:27 You want to do that, Kayla? 01:28 Yes. Okay. 01:30 I'll turn the leaves over so they look nice. 01:32 We want to sprinkle these over. 01:35 Yes. 01:39 Oh, it's nice and fresh. 01:42 The dressing is now ready. 01:44 I love the contrast with the green and the red. 01:46 And if you serve people a large serving 01:48 that could actually be like an entree salad. 01:51 But it makes a very nice side salad as well. 01:54 So maybe let's add just a few more 01:56 all the way in this corner, just so. 01:58 Yeah, just a little bit extra. 02:00 That's good. That's good. 02:02 Now we're going to make our salad dressing. 02:04 Now the salad dressing can be made ahead of time 02:06 and you could have that in your fridge. 02:08 And normally, when you make it and before serving, 02:11 you'd put that on a nice little picture 02:13 or something. 02:14 But we're just gonna serve it straight from our kitchen 02:16 kind of like we would do at home. 02:18 So we're gonna start out with a blender. 02:21 We're gonna put that up here. 02:24 And then we're going to add a cup of strawberries. 02:27 They don't have to be sliced first. 02:32 And then we're going to add a third cup of the olive oil. 02:39 Some lemon juice. 02:44 And then we're gonna give that a blend. 02:47 So let's see how pretty it turns out. 02:59 I think it should be nice. 03:07 That looks good. 03:11 Nice color there. 03:12 It does look nice. 03:15 And it smells good too. 03:17 Nice and fresh. 03:18 So we're gonna just drizzle that 03:20 over our salad platter. 03:21 I'll move it over a little bit closer to you. 03:31 Nice and fresh. 03:33 And it does make a difference when you use fresh ingredients, 03:36 so try to do that when you can. 03:40 That looks great. 03:42 Shall we try it? Yes, let's do that. 03:43 Okay. 03:45 Why don't you serve yourself and I'll serve myself too. 03:48 Okay. 03:49 We'll go family style. 03:51 That works. 03:55 Just take like that. 03:59 I'll try something here. 04:01 I'm actually going to sprinkle some almonds on mine. 04:03 Oh, good idea. Good idea. 04:04 Look bit creative. They add a nice crunch. 04:07 They do. 04:09 So you could add it individually 04:11 or you could add it to the salad bowl 04:13 or platter to make everything look nice. 04:16 So you're gonna taste it? I can't wait. 04:23 What do you think? I love strawberries. 04:24 It's heaven. It's perfect. 04:26 I love it. 04:28 I'm glad that we are able to get these 04:29 from Chile on a year round basis, 04:31 so we can always have 04:33 a nice fresh strawberry salad. 04:36 Thanks for stopping and visiting us 04:38 at our Mission 360 Kitchen. 04:41 Next up, we visit 04:42 with some One Year in Mission volunteers 04:44 who are working in centers of influence 04:46 in Santiago, Chile. 04:52 Sebastian decided to give his life to Jesus 04:55 in an unusual place, the soccer field. 04:59 The Life Hope Center helped me 05:01 have the Word of God in my heart. 05:05 A few months before he was excited 05:07 when his parents Moises and Angelica 05:09 signed him up for soccer lessons 05:11 at the Global Mission Life Hope Center 05:13 just down the street from their house. 05:15 Sebastian worked hard at the lessons 05:17 and his skills improved quickly. 05:18 But soon he realized 05:20 he was learning more than just soccer. 05:22 Sebastian had met Jesus 05:24 through the One Year in Mission volunteers 05:26 serving this urban center of influence 05:28 in Santiago, Chile. 05:30 He felt like he needed to share his new love for Jesus 05:33 with his parents. 05:34 So each day after soccer lessons 05:36 while walking home with his parents, 05:38 Sebastian told them about Jesus. 05:40 It was around this time 05:42 that Sebastian's grandmother got very sick. 05:45 Sebastian was worried. 05:47 During this difficult time, Pastor Abraham Cabezas, 05:50 who led the center's outreach programs 05:52 began regularly visiting the family 05:54 with this team of One Year in Mission volunteers 05:57 to pray with them and encourage them. 05:59 Sebastian's parents enjoyed these visits 06:02 and in time they requested Bible studies. 06:05 Eventually, the love of Jesus won their hearts 06:08 and they were baptized. 06:10 Soon his grandmother regained her strength. 06:13 The family is eternally grateful 06:15 for the friendship and care 06:16 shown by the One Year in Mission team. 06:19 To this day, 06:20 the volunteers selflessly give up their time 06:22 to be lights of hope in the community. 06:25 We find these volunteers 06:26 who are willing to give their gifts, 06:28 talents, and abilities to serve others. 06:31 We have so many types of workshops, 06:34 like cooking workshops, language workshops, 06:37 and exercise workshops that are used as an instrument, 06:40 an opportunity to follow Christ method. 06:43 That is why through these workshops, 06:45 many people can mingle with Adventists 06:47 and through their service they can know the Lord. 06:51 Sebastian is so happy 06:53 when he listens to his parents 06:54 talk about their new lives and here's why. 06:58 So that we go to heaven. 07:04 Thanks to your faithful support of urban centers of influence, 07:07 Sebastian's goal of having his family 07:10 united in Christ has become an exciting reality. 07:14 I want to express my gratitude to Global Mission 07:17 for believing and trusting in these projects. 07:20 At any moment 07:21 the King in heaven will return 07:23 and we will see the result of all of the efforts 07:26 from Chile and the whole world. 07:48 Well, thank you so much 07:50 for joining us on today's program. 07:51 And I hope that you've enjoyed our 360 degree view of mission 07:56 around the world. 07:57 On today's program, 07:58 we've seen mission in South America, 08:00 we've seen in West Africa, 08:02 we've seen it here in Central America. 08:04 We tend to focus on those, 08:06 the good things that are happening, 08:07 and so we should, 08:08 but I don't want you to lose sight 08:10 of the many mission challenges that we still face. 08:12 So thank you so much for your continuing support. 08:15 With your donations to Global Mission, 08:17 your mission offerings, 08:19 your prayers and your personal involvement, 08:22 it does make a difference. 08:23 Well, for Adventist Mission, I'm Gary Krause. 08:26 And I hope you can join me next time 08:28 right here on Mission 360. |
