The Ancient story of
Daniel in the Lion's Den,
00:00:01.96\00:00:03.93
Kenya's Tsavo National park and
00:00:03.93\00:00:06.13
the Man-Eaters lions and
a long haul truck driver.
00:00:06.13\00:00:09.40
What do they have all in common,
00:00:09.40\00:00:10.70
don't miss this episode.
00:00:10.70\00:00:12.20
The Majestic Lion,
king of the beasts,
00:01:00.86\00:01:03.26
strong and fearsome,
these are some of the
00:01:03.26\00:01:06.36
words that come to
mind when you think of the
00:01:06.36\00:01:08.20
mighty lion wildlife in Africa.
00:01:08.20\00:01:10.30
One African story
of lions is that of the
00:01:10.30\00:01:12.86
Tsavo Man-Eaters, in
the late 19th Century
00:01:12.86\00:01:16.83
British Engineer
Lieutenant Colonel
00:01:16.83\00:01:19.40
John Henry Patterson,
was in-charge of constructing
00:01:19.40\00:01:22.00
a Railway Bridge
over the Tsavo river,
00:01:22.00\00:01:24.70
during construction
lions began attacking
00:01:24.70\00:01:27.73
the workers, even
dragging the men out
00:01:27.73\00:01:30.16
of their tents at
night. The exact number of
00:01:30.16\00:01:33.06
people killed by
the lions is unclear,
00:01:33.06\00:01:35.66
over the course of his
life Patterson gave several
00:01:35.66\00:01:38.56
different figures,
once claiming that there was
00:01:38.56\00:01:41.13
as many as 135 victims,
recent research indicates
00:01:41.13\00:01:45.76
that the number was
probably closer to 35 workers,
00:01:45.76\00:01:48.73
but the bottom line is
that's a lot of people.
00:01:48.73\00:01:52.13
So you gather medicinal
herbs and barks and plants
00:01:54.26\00:01:57.60
to treat people? Yeah, I do.
00:01:57.60\00:01:59.36
Where, is there any
around here you see Reuben,
00:02:00.43\00:02:02.83
that we could use? Yeah,
we can use this one here.
00:02:02.83\00:02:05.90
And what is this one?
This one is a Sodom Apple,
00:02:05.90\00:02:09.40
I'm sorry, it's
what? It is a Sodom Apple,
00:02:09.40\00:02:13.90
yeah great, ah! We
remember history of Sodom
00:02:13.90\00:02:18.16
when Sodom was burned,
the first plant species
00:02:18.16\00:02:22.20
to grow there was
Sodom Apple, really? Yeah,
00:02:22.20\00:02:25.30
and what do you
do with this? Ah!
00:02:25.30\00:02:27.76
A Sodom Apple, it is a
plant you can use the leaves,
00:02:27.76\00:02:32.83
with the leaves you can
use to heal some wounds.
00:02:32.83\00:02:38.10
We dry these
leaves under shed and then
00:02:38.10\00:02:42.13
we crush them,
after crushing them into
00:02:42.13\00:02:44.73
small pieces, we just
apply on top of wounds,
00:02:44.73\00:02:47.43
they'll suck all
the, fresh wounds, yeah
00:02:47.43\00:02:50.93
fresh wounds, yeah
they'll suck all fluids
00:02:50.93\00:02:54.43
and then it will dry
up, then a period of one
00:02:54.43\00:02:57.80
week that wound will be healed.
00:02:57.80\00:03:00.40
How long have you
been doing this type
00:03:00.40\00:03:02.60
of treatment? I've
been doing this for a period
00:03:02.60\00:03:05.73
of six years
right now. And out here,
00:03:05.73\00:03:08.73
you know in the
plains and in the jungles,
00:03:08.73\00:03:11.26
how many different
types of things do you use,
00:03:11.26\00:03:13.86
plants and barks
and. Ah! We use different
00:03:13.86\00:03:18.50
kind of plant
species, we use leaves,
00:03:18.50\00:03:25.83
we use the bark of
the trees and the roots
00:03:25.83\00:03:29.76
and even grass. I
want to know more,
00:03:29.76\00:03:33.13
is there anything
else you see around here
00:03:33.13\00:03:34.66
that maybe we
can find some place,
00:03:34.66\00:03:36.50
I see one plant here.
What do you do with that one?
00:03:41.60\00:03:44.16
Ah! This one oh,
it's got stickers,
00:03:44.16\00:03:46.86
we use the leaves,
we can use the leaves to
00:03:46.86\00:03:52.43
cure Malaria, we
crush it and then we boil it
00:03:52.43\00:03:56.93
in water and then you
take that, you drink it,
00:03:56.93\00:04:00.73
you' drink it. How many times?
00:04:00.73\00:04:02.46
Three glasses in a
day before meals that
00:04:02.46\00:04:06.36
would be
appropriate and we'll take it
00:04:06.36\00:04:08.23
for only four days. We
can't forget about this
00:04:08.23\00:04:11.66
small one here, when
it is dry, it is very hard
00:04:11.66\00:04:15.36
to uproot we use
this one to treat people
00:04:15.36\00:04:19.23
who we can say
becoming martyr. Okay.
00:04:19.23\00:04:24.63
It's a bit bitter but
it's good. You know what's
00:04:24.63\00:04:28.80
interesting to me
Reuben is Scientists have
00:04:28.80\00:04:31.76
discovered many
years ago that most of our
00:04:31.76\00:04:34.03
Pharmaceutical
products come from the jungles
00:04:34.03\00:04:36.50
and come from other
places and they continually
00:04:36.50\00:04:39.10
look to folks like you
and those that have done
00:04:39.10\00:04:41.13
medicine for you
know a little more,
00:04:41.13\00:04:44.20
not saying primitive,
but a little more rural
00:04:44.20\00:04:46.63
areas over the
years and it's worked and
00:04:46.63\00:04:48.53
they're finding
the fantastic medicine,
00:04:48.53\00:04:50.50
But you haven't always
done medicine have you,
00:04:50.50\00:04:54.70
there's been other things in
00:04:54.70\00:04:56.70
your life hasn't there yeah.

Here's another
story of hope from
00:06:01.66\00:06:04.40
Adventist World
Radio. Igor and Svetlana,
00:06:04.40\00:06:07.90
unlike some other
Russians have seen
00:06:07.90\00:06:10.16
nothing but hard times
since the fall of Communism.
00:06:10.16\00:06:13.60
The Agriculture
Industry so vital to their rural
00:06:13.60\00:06:16.80
town has plummeted
leaving the area in poverty,
00:06:16.80\00:06:20.60
watching their dejected
neighbors fall to alcohol
00:06:20.60\00:06:24.00
abuse they were
concerned about the influence
00:06:24.00\00:06:26.63
such a hopeless
society would have on their
00:06:26.63\00:06:28.93
five children. So they
searched for a positive
00:06:28.93\00:06:32.20
influence for their
family they found it in
00:06:32.20\00:06:35.16
Adventist World

00:06:35.16\00:06:38.33

Adventist World Radio
shares the hope of Christ
00:06:49.56\00:06:53.26
with millions of
people everyday in their own
00:06:53.26\00:06:56.36
languages, for more
information visit AWR.ORG.
00:06:56.36\00:07:01.40
In the 19th Century it
was estimated that more
00:07:06.40\00:07:08.90
than 200 Tanzanians
were killed each year
00:07:08.90\00:07:12.16
by lions, crocodiles,
elephants, hippos and
00:07:12.16\00:07:15.10
snakes, and that the
actual number could be
00:07:15.10\00:07:17.33
double that amount,
with lions thought to
00:07:17.33\00:07:20.03
have account for at
least 70 of those deaths,
00:07:20.03\00:07:22.63
the lion is one of the
big four cats in the feline
00:07:24.36\00:07:27.13
family with some
males exceeding 550 pounds
00:07:27.13\00:07:30.80
in weight, lions are
unusually social compared
00:07:30.80\00:07:34.40
to other cats. A
pride of lions consists of
00:07:34.40\00:07:37.13
related females and
offspring and a small
00:07:37.13\00:07:39.56
number of adult
males, visually the male lion
00:07:39.56\00:07:44.16
is highly distinctive
and it's easily recognized
00:07:44.16\00:07:47.10
by its mane, the
ruler thumb is the darker
00:07:47.10\00:07:49.76
and fuller the mane,
the healthier the lion.
00:07:49.76\00:07:52.33
They spend much of
their time resting and
00:07:52.33\00:07:55.03
are inactive for
about 20 hours per day,
00:07:55.03\00:07:57.83
intermittent burst of
activity follow through
00:07:57.83\00:08:00.36
the night hours until dawn,
00:08:00.36\00:08:02.40
when hunting most
often takes place.
00:08:02.40\00:08:04.46
Groups of female lions
typically hunt together,
00:08:09.50\00:08:12.36
preying mostly on
large grazing animals such
00:08:12.36\00:08:15.06
as wildebeest, lions
are opportunistic hunters
00:08:15.06\00:08:18.50
and after a
careful stock will take the
00:08:18.50\00:08:21.26
closet animal
regardless of it's age,
00:08:21.26\00:08:23.56
sex or condition. If
suitable prey is available
00:08:23.56\00:08:27.56
lions eat every
three to four days but can
00:08:27.56\00:08:30.83
go without food
for more than a week.
00:08:30.83\00:08:33.00
An adult lion will kill
about 15 animals per year,
00:08:33.00\00:08:36.86
most hunting takes
places under the poor
00:08:36.86\00:08:39.00
light conditions of
early evening or dawn
00:08:39.00\00:08:41.80
and during the night,
they have little stamina
00:08:41.80\00:08:44.83
and will usually
get up close to the prey
00:08:44.83\00:08:47.10
before charging.
Lions do not always hunt
00:08:47.10\00:08:50.20
in a group and single
lions account for about
00:08:50.20\00:08:53.00
50 percent of all
kills, Lions are extremely
00:08:53.00\00:08:56.63
powerful, by using
only a grip on its rump,
00:08:56.63\00:08:59.70
they can grab and
throw down a fully
00:08:59.70\00:09:01.83
grown Zebra. The
Bible says that the devil is
00:09:01.83\00:09:05.40
like a roaring lion
stocking everyone he can,
00:09:05.40\00:09:08.30
looking for those
who are not covered by
00:09:08.30\00:09:11.13
God's protection.
Reuben realized that
00:09:11.13\00:09:13.93
he was no match for
the devil and cried out
00:09:13.93\00:09:16.33
to God just in the nick
of time, others have cried
00:09:16.33\00:09:20.00
out to God when
facing lions, God sent his
00:09:20.00\00:09:22.90
angel to shut the
mouth of the lions for his
00:09:22.90\00:09:25.30
friend Daniel and he
gave strength to David to
00:09:25.30\00:09:27.96
slain a lion that was
threatening his flock,
00:09:27.96\00:09:30.26
only God is powerful
enough to protect us.
00:09:30.26\00:09:33.90
Reuben found
that out first hand.
00:09:33.90\00:09:36.80
You were raised as a
Christian weren't you?
00:09:36.80\00:09:40.20
Yeah, I was raised
as a Christian but when
00:09:40.20\00:09:42.60
I became a truck
driver, I decided
00:09:42.60\00:09:46.10
to leave the
Christianity way and,
00:09:46.10\00:09:50.53
so you just
totally went away from God,
00:09:50.53\00:09:53.93
yeah I just went away
from God because you know,
00:09:53.93\00:09:56.60
if you walk with
bad people always you'll
00:09:56.60\00:10:00.06
just be drawn to what
they're doing also there
00:10:00.06\00:10:05.40
was traumatic
experience that came into your
00:10:05.40\00:10:07.30
life though, would
you share that with me.
00:10:07.30\00:10:09.36
Yeah! One day as we
were coming from Mumias,
00:10:09.36\00:10:16.06
we were cutting
sugar and we are going to
00:10:16.06\00:10:21.83
Mombasa, we had a break down at
00:10:21.83\00:10:27.06
Tsavo National Park
and when we have that
00:10:27.06\00:10:31.03
break down, now if
I, Tsavo, that's where
00:10:31.03\00:10:34.03
the Man-eating lions,
that's where the animals
00:10:34.03\00:10:37.46
it's a game pack.
When we had the mechanical
00:10:37.46\00:10:41.86
problem, we have
our radios where we can
00:10:41.86\00:10:44.76
communicate with
our bosses in Mombasa,
00:10:44.76\00:10:48.30
we tried out best we
communicated with them
00:10:48.30\00:10:51.76
so that. If I can
interrupt you said we,
00:10:51.76\00:10:54.46
so you had a
partner, yeah I had a partner,
00:10:54.46\00:10:57.33
when you're tired
another person was
00:10:57.33\00:10:59.16
can drive so when
we have that problem
00:10:59.16\00:11:03.63
we communicate with
our bosses in Mombasa
00:11:03.63\00:11:07.46
and he promised to
bring us, to give us some
00:11:07.46\00:11:11.80
security policemen
to at least help us,
00:11:11.80\00:11:14.93
because we had
sugar, and sugar is very
00:11:14.93\00:11:17.66
expensive so we just
needed security to assist us
00:11:17.66\00:11:20.76
and maybe they could
send mechanics to come
00:11:20.76\00:11:24.90
and repair the vehicle.
What was the security for?
00:11:24.90\00:11:27.96
For wild animals or
bandits or both? No,
00:11:27.96\00:11:30.93
the security was
suppose to be for the bandits
00:11:30.93\00:11:34.13
and also the wild
animals. So you got multiple
00:11:34.13\00:11:37.53
things to be afraid of,
bandits and wild animals,
00:11:37.53\00:11:40.16
lions or, lions and
bad bandits, because we had
00:11:40.16\00:11:43.90
sugar and that
sugar is expensive,
00:11:43.90\00:11:45.66
if it is stolen I
will have ended in jail,
00:11:45.66\00:11:49.13
you would have
ended up in jail, yeah.
00:11:49.13\00:11:51.83
How will my employer
agree that it was stolen?
00:11:51.83\00:11:57.03
I got you, they
may not believe that,
00:11:57.03\00:11:59.36
you could have
thought it was a set up, yeah,
00:11:59.36\00:12:02.06
so you're out there
broken down, yeah after
00:12:02.06\00:12:05.53
the truck was broken
down and we could not
00:12:05.53\00:12:08.83
move any further we
communicated with our
00:12:08.83\00:12:11.36
bosses in Mombasa, but
they said that the security
00:12:11.36\00:12:16.50
are on the way
coming, but we didn't see it.
00:12:16.50\00:12:21.16
Now, you mentioned
to me today about the
00:12:23.76\00:12:25.50
cheetahs and their
eating habits, ah! Cheetahs,
00:12:25.50\00:12:29.20
are very, very
selective to food, they have to
00:12:29.20\00:12:34.33
look for only healthier animals.
00:12:34.33\00:12:37.10
So that's it,
healthy only, if they see
00:12:37.10\00:12:39.56
something sick,
they won't touch it or.
00:12:39.56\00:12:42.53
They never get close
to the sicker animals,
00:12:42.53\00:12:45.53
this is because of
genetic study shows
00:12:45.53\00:12:49.66
that all the cheetahs
are very closely blood
00:12:49.66\00:12:54.53
related, so probably
according to genetics,
00:12:54.53\00:13:00.90
they are very
weaker to diseases,
00:13:00.90\00:13:03.03
all of them came off Noah's ark.
00:13:03.03\00:13:05.83
The cheetah is
atypical member of
00:13:09.00\00:13:10.96
the Cat family that
is unique in its speed,
00:13:10.96\00:13:13.90
it is the fastest land
animal, reaching speeds
00:13:13.90\00:13:16.53
between 70 and 75
miles per hour in short
00:13:16.53\00:13:20.53
bursts covering
distances up to 1500 feet
00:13:20.53\00:13:23.56
and has the ability to
accelerate from zero to
00:13:23.56\00:13:26.56
68 miles an hour in
three seconds, faster than
00:13:26.56\00:13:31.53
most super cars. The
cheetah is a carnivore,
00:13:31.53\00:13:36.60
eating mostly
mammals under 90 pounds,
00:13:36.60\00:13:38.96
including the
Thomson gazelle, the impala,
00:13:38.96\00:13:41.70
and the young of
larger mammals such as
00:13:41.70\00:13:43.73
wildebeests and zebras
are also taken at times,
00:13:43.73\00:13:46.46
it hunts either
early in the morning
00:13:46.46\00:13:49.50
or later in the
evening when it is not so hot,
00:13:49.50\00:13:52.70
but there is still
enough light, prey a stock to
00:13:52.70\00:13:58.60
within 30 to 100
feet and then chased,
00:13:58.60\00:14:01.60
this is usually over
in less than a minute
00:14:01.60\00:14:04.06
and if a cheetah fails
to make a catch quickly,
00:14:04.06\00:14:06.63
it will give up. When sprinting,
00:14:06.63\00:14:09.23
the cheetah's
temperature becomes so high
00:14:09.23\00:14:12.00
it would be deadly
to continue, this is why
00:14:12.00\00:14:14.80
they're often seen
resting after it is caught
00:14:14.80\00:14:16.90
it's prey. Our
guide received a call from
00:14:16.90\00:14:21.50
a fellow guide
saying he found a cheetah,
00:14:21.50\00:14:23.60
so we're heading to
see if we can find it.
00:14:23.60\00:14:25.66
There, about a 100
yards out, looks like
00:14:32.90\00:14:35.16
a female she's
stalking a wildebeests,
00:14:35.16\00:14:37.30
considering the
height of the grass
00:14:37.30\00:14:38.93
she's about 28
inches tall at the shoulder,
00:14:38.93\00:14:41.50
I'm surprised the
herd is not spooked at all,
00:14:41.50\00:14:44.56
there she goes,
wow look at the speed,
00:14:44.56\00:14:46.46
look at the
speed. She's got him,
00:14:46.46\00:14:50.46
she's got him, look
at that, she's about
00:14:50.46\00:14:53.50
120 pounds, that
calf is throwing around
00:14:53.50\00:14:55.96
like she weighs
nothing, wow this is quick
00:14:55.96\00:15:01.73
What's this? Look
Whoa! Did you see that,
00:15:01.73\00:15:11.26
that Cat doesn't
know what hit her,
00:15:11.26\00:15:13.73
it's sure good
to know there won't
00:15:16.10\00:15:17.63
be any need for
hunting like that in Heaven.
00:15:17.63\00:15:20.26
So for my
understanding it was a dry shaft
00:15:21.70\00:15:23.80
and a new joint that
went out of the truck yeah,
00:15:23.80\00:15:25.73
you're not going
anywhere, I could not go.
00:15:25.73\00:15:29.13
How far away, how
far away is the company?
00:15:29.13\00:15:31.00
From Mombasa? Well
whoever's got to come
00:15:31.00\00:15:36.03
rescue you now. We
just needed the security
00:15:36.03\00:15:39.23
because it was far from Mombasa,
00:15:39.23\00:15:41.36
it's almost 20
kilometers I think from Mombasa,
00:15:41.36\00:15:45.00
but when it reach,
around 7 we had a radio after
00:15:45.00\00:15:55.80
the news, there
used to be a program,
00:15:55.80\00:15:59.20
there is a
preacher who always preach
00:15:59.20\00:16:03.86
in the radios and
that caught your attention,
00:16:03.86\00:16:07.20
yeah it caught my
attention for some time,
00:16:07.20\00:16:10.76
although I was also
smoking, so I didn't
00:16:10.76\00:16:13.50
put my attention to
what he was speaking.
00:16:13.50\00:16:17.46
So after he had
preached and he made his call,
00:16:17.46\00:16:22.90
I didn't give up my
life to Jesus, I just stayed
00:16:22.90\00:16:28.40
where I was, I didn't
want to turn back to God
00:16:28.40\00:16:33.40
and repent, but
later at around 7:20,
00:16:33.40\00:16:39.53
it was now almost
dark, we saw some antelopes
00:16:39.53\00:16:46.63
passing by as if
they're grazing in a flock of
00:16:46.63\00:16:50.40
antelopes but the
speed at which they were
00:16:50.40\00:16:54.56
moving at, it was a
bit on a high speed as
00:16:54.56\00:16:58.63
if there is an enemy,
faster than grazing yeah,
00:16:58.63\00:17:01.66
it was faster than grazing,
is an enemy behind them.
00:17:01.66\00:17:04.70
They burst out close the roads,
00:17:04.70\00:17:10.26
after I saw a lion, I
never seen a lion before.
00:17:10.26\00:17:15.73
In all your life, I
never saw, that was my first
00:17:15.73\00:17:20.00
time to sit closer
to me, it saw the truck
00:17:20.00\00:17:24.70
it came and stood
in front of the truck,
00:17:24.70\00:17:29.80
came around the
truck and I could remember
00:17:29.80\00:17:36.16
one of windows
could not reach where
00:17:36.16\00:17:41.40
it's supposed to
reach, it was stuck,
00:17:41.40\00:17:43.50
you couldn't roll
it up all the way,
00:17:43.50\00:17:45.10
the animal came
and stood, looked up in
00:17:45.10\00:17:49.56
the window, yeah
looked up at the window,
00:17:49.56\00:17:51.10
it went down I
was, now this was a male
00:17:51.10\00:17:55.16
or a female, it
was a male, big male,
00:17:55.16\00:17:57.53
it's a big male
with hair, so it fill the
00:17:57.53\00:18:01.20
whole window, that's
when I started remembering
00:18:01.20\00:18:05.00
about a call, the
preacher who made,
00:18:05.00\00:18:09.90
the preacher made for
us to surrender our lives.
00:18:09.90\00:18:13.83
So you were very
scared at that moment,
00:18:13.83\00:18:15.86
I was scared, my
body was full of sweat,
00:18:15.86\00:18:20.80
I was very
frightened, now what's your
00:18:20.80\00:18:25.16
partner doing? I
tried to advice him,
00:18:25.16\00:18:28.20
because we used to
be given some lectures
00:18:28.20\00:18:32.03
and they used to,
they gave us some rare
00:18:32.03\00:18:37.10
reflective coats, well
that's what this is for.
00:18:37.10\00:18:40.96
And I told my
colleague to put this on
00:18:40.96\00:18:45.53
because some
lion, these wild animals
00:18:45.53\00:18:51.53
at night they don't
like this red colors,
00:18:51.53\00:18:54.63
so I told my friend
to put it on but he said
00:18:54.63\00:18:58.66
what will a coat do
if you're going die then
00:18:58.66\00:19:05.26
all of us we're
going to die. So he denied,
00:19:05.26\00:19:09.66
but you put yours
on, yes I took mine
00:19:09.66\00:19:11.96
and just put it on like that
00:19:11.96\00:19:14.73
and that's the way it was.
00:19:14.73\00:19:20.76
As you can see AWR is
frontline mission radio.
00:19:22.53\00:19:25.86
Our first priority is to
travel where missionaries
00:19:25.86\00:19:29.30
cannot go. We
broadcast thousands of hours
00:19:29.30\00:19:32.76
each day in seventy
major languages of the world.
00:19:32.76\00:19:36.00
AWR has the capability
and capacity of blanketing
00:19:36.00\00:19:39.76
almost 80 percent of
the world's population.
00:19:39.76\00:19:42.36
Not only do we
broadcast via shortwave radio,
00:19:42.36\00:19:45.93
but our signal is on
over 1000 FM and AM stations
00:19:45.93\00:19:49.83
around the world as
well. Our podcast subscribers,
00:19:49.83\00:19:53.50
Internet users,
satellite downlinks
00:19:53.50\00:19:55.90
are growing rapidly,
evidenced by the hundred
00:19:55.90\00:19:58.73
thousand plus e-mails,
letters and phone calls
00:19:58.73\00:20:02.10
we receive each and every year.
00:20:02.10\00:20:04.30
Yes, AWR is your mission radio.
00:20:04.30\00:20:07.16
No walls and no
borders. For AWR that means
00:20:07.16\00:20:10.56
change lives and change
hearts around the world,
00:20:10.56\00:20:13.06
because God is using
the airways of AWR to
00:20:13.06\00:20:16.80
reach people everywhere.
00:20:16.80\00:20:18.36
Here's another story of hope
00:20:22.60\00:20:24.50
from Adventist World Radio.
00:20:24.50\00:20:26.73
In the summer of
2003, 50 volunteers set out
00:20:26.73\00:20:30.76
on bicycles
across the Karnataka,
00:20:30.76\00:20:32.90
Goa region of
India. Their mission was
00:20:32.90\00:20:35.53
to invite town's
people from around the region
00:20:35.53\00:20:37.90
to one of fifty
different locations where they
00:20:37.90\00:20:40.83
could listen to
Adventist World Radio.
00:20:40.83\00:20:43.00
Many people in the Karnataka,
00:20:43.00\00:20:44.83
Goa region do not
own radios and those that
00:20:44.83\00:20:48.40
do often have never heard of
00:20:48.40\00:20:50.33
Adventist World Radio.
The goal of the project
00:20:50.33\00:20:53.33
was to established
listener clubs that would meet
00:20:53.33\00:20:55.60
regularly to
listen to the programs,
00:20:55.60\00:20:57.76
hopefully leading
the people to Christ.
00:20:57.76\00:21:00.43
To date over
2500 people have been
00:21:00.43\00:21:04.40
baptized through
the listeners clubs.
00:21:04.40\00:21:06.56
Adventist World Radio,
shares the hope of Christ
00:21:09.56\00:21:13.26
with millions of
people everyday in their own
00:21:13.26\00:21:16.30
languages, for more
information visit AWR.ORG.
00:21:16.30\00:21:21.13
Let me show you how
it was. See the lion
00:21:26.60\00:21:31.80
came from this
side and then first came
00:21:31.80\00:21:35.80
it left the
antelopes, where it saw that the
00:21:35.80\00:21:41.86
truck it became interested
to see what was in the
00:21:41.86\00:21:47.10
truck, and so we
were inside the truck,
00:21:47.10\00:21:51.10
I and my colleague. So
it came and stood here,
00:21:51.10\00:21:55.90
stand at us look at
us, it was not satisfied,
00:21:55.90\00:22:00.93
it was came to this
side that's when I remembered
00:22:00.93\00:22:09.00
that we had these
red jackets and I told
00:22:09.00\00:22:13.06
my colleague now
it's time we should put
00:22:13.06\00:22:15.96
on our red
jackets because we really
00:22:15.96\00:22:18.96
need it now, my
colleague said no,
00:22:18.96\00:22:22.10
what's you need, the
red jacket cannot help me,
00:22:22.10\00:22:27.43
we're gonna to be
eaten. So I said okay
00:22:27.43\00:22:31.60
but let me just put
on mine, so I took mine
00:22:31.60\00:22:35.10
and worn it after a
short while the lion
00:22:35.10\00:22:40.60
came back and
stood again, stare at us
00:22:40.60\00:22:45.40
and looked at my
colleague. So he didn't
00:22:45.40\00:22:48.33
look at you, he
looked at your colleague.
00:22:48.33\00:22:49.60
And he looked at
my colleague and then
00:22:49.60\00:22:51.66
just came down,
took some steps behind as
00:22:51.66\00:22:56.60
if it was preparing
to come over, it came
00:22:56.60\00:23:02.40
and then broke
the window and got my
00:23:02.40\00:23:05.96
colleague and
pulled him outside.
00:23:05.96\00:23:09.80
So he yanks him
out of the truck yeah
00:23:09.80\00:23:11.93
just brings him
out, put him down here,
00:23:11.93\00:23:15.30
my friend was
screaming but that's the way
00:23:15.30\00:23:19.06
he passed away.
After some time it took
00:23:19.06\00:23:25.30
some steps back
again that's when
00:23:25.30\00:23:29.33
I remembered how to
pray after a long time,
00:23:29.33\00:23:32.26
I had forgot how to
pray that when I asked
00:23:32.26\00:23:37.90
God to forgive me
'cause I was a sinner
00:23:37.90\00:23:40.76
and if he could
grant me a second chance,
00:23:40.76\00:23:45.30
I could change my life that way.
00:23:45.30\00:23:47.43
And what next, the
lion just came back,
00:23:47.43\00:23:50.96
and now looked at
me, it just stood there
00:23:50.96\00:23:55.96
for some time and
took back some steps
00:23:55.96\00:23:58.93
behind it come
running again grabbed the
00:23:58.93\00:24:03.43
dash board and went
up on top of the vehicle.
00:24:03.43\00:24:07.06
So if I understand
this correctly he actually
00:24:07.06\00:24:09.36
had to use his paws
perhaps to set his paw
00:24:09.36\00:24:12.33
inside the dash of
your vehicle to jump on up,
00:24:12.33\00:24:15.70
yeah it grabbed
the dash board and then
00:24:15.70\00:24:18.80
it went up and that
is where it stayed until
00:24:18.80\00:24:24.20
morning, sat there
all night then, yeah it's
00:24:24.20\00:24:31.50
even hard for you
to think about it now,
00:24:31.50\00:24:33.66
you know some
time when I think about
00:24:33.66\00:24:36.33
I always shed tears
because it was terrible.
00:24:36.33\00:24:42.20
What was going
through your mind that night?
00:24:42.20\00:24:44.56
Sitting in that truck
all night along waiting
00:24:44.56\00:24:46.30
for rescue, I
couldn't do anything I guess
00:24:46.30\00:24:49.83
I had to stay there
and wait to see what ever,
00:24:49.83\00:24:52.56
what was going to
happen in the morning the
00:24:52.56\00:24:57.73
game came and they shot
on the air these animals
00:24:57.73\00:25:04.00
ran way, that's
when that women came out
00:25:04.00\00:25:07.43
of his vehicle, it
came straight to where I was
00:25:07.43\00:25:11.60
and asked me
whether I was a Christian,
00:25:11.60\00:25:15.40
really? That's what
she told me, are you a
00:25:15.40\00:25:19.40
Christian, so that
lady knew that the only way
00:25:19.40\00:25:22.40
you could have
survived this whole situation is
00:25:22.40\00:25:24.40
if God had
protected you that night yeah,
00:25:24.40\00:25:26.90
so the God used a
Radio to touch your heart
00:25:26.90\00:25:30.26
and then used a lady
you had no idea who she was,
00:25:30.26\00:25:33.70
to lead you on
the pathways or nudge
00:25:33.70\00:25:36.33
you on the pathway,
that's what happened.
00:25:36.33\00:25:39.26
You must thank
him everyday, yeah,
00:25:39.26\00:25:41.60
I do thank him
everyday, every moment for
00:25:41.60\00:25:46.36
what he did for me,
you know the bottom line
00:25:46.36\00:25:51.13
is you are happier
now then you were then
00:25:51.13\00:25:54.93
before you were a
Christian. I am very
00:25:54.93\00:25:57.46
happy right now, because
if I would have continued
00:25:57.46\00:26:00.76
that life maybe
I would have died,
00:26:00.76\00:26:03.56
because you told me,
you told me that you said
00:26:03.56\00:26:06.20
I was having a good life,
I was having a happy life,
00:26:06.20\00:26:08.90
I didn't want
anything of Christianity but
00:26:08.90\00:26:11.03
now that you had both
sides. Where is the best
00:26:11.03\00:26:13.20
place to be? To be
a Christian is best.
00:26:13.20\00:26:17.00
You know Reuben,
I know this was hard
00:26:17.00\00:26:19.33

The Eternal Feature
of Every Living Human
00:26:32.10\00:26:35.16
Being depends on
their relationship with
00:26:35.16\00:26:38.00
Jesus Christ, Reuben
was living the good life,
00:26:38.00\00:26:41.36
he thought he had
everything that he wanted
00:26:41.36\00:26:44.30
but he not
accepted Jesus Christ and
00:26:44.30\00:26:48.20
the blood of the
cross to cover his sin.
00:26:48.20\00:26:51.03
Friend, if you know
that your relationship with
00:26:51.03\00:26:55.36
God is not all that it
should be, perhaps you need
00:26:55.36\00:26:59.70
to give your life to
Jesus Christ as well,
00:26:59.70\00:27:02.40
perhaps Reuben's
story has touched your heart
00:27:02.40\00:27:07.73
and you may not
have had as a dramatic
00:27:07.73\00:27:10.30
experience as
Reuben, but yet you need,
00:27:10.30\00:27:14.80
you feel the call
of God in your life.
00:27:14.80\00:27:17.06
Please ask for
forgiveness right now,
00:27:17.06\00:27:19.80
please pray a prayer
to Jesus, telling him that
00:27:19.80\00:27:23.36
you want to
follow all the principles
00:27:23.36\00:27:25.43
that he gives in
his Holy Scriptures.
