Welcome friends, to
our last Night Light
00:00:22.08\00:00:24.79
live from Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
00:00:24.82\00:00:26.86
And it's hard to believe that
its Friday evening already here
00:00:26.89\00:00:29.89
at Oshkosh, and what a wonderful
week we've had here at this
00:00:29.92\00:00:33.09
beautiful Pathfinder Camporee.
00:00:33.13\00:00:34.46
I'm sitting here next
to my precious wife Jill.
00:00:34.50\00:00:37.10
We're had a wonderful
time here haven't we, Sweetie?
00:00:37.13\00:00:39.20
We have indeed. It's
been incredible to meet the
00:00:39.23\00:00:41.60
Pathfinders from
all over the world;
00:00:41.64\00:00:43.17
to see that our church
is really a global church.
00:00:43.20\00:00:46.41
You can hear that in theory, but
when you get to meet the people
00:00:46.44\00:00:49.44
from all over the world, to meet
the dedicated club directors,
00:00:49.48\00:00:53.21
and the staff, and each Night
Light you and Pastor Jim have
00:00:53.25\00:00:57.45
been featuring some wonderful
people, and we get to meet them.
00:00:57.49\00:01:00.26
You at home get to meet them.
00:01:00.29\00:01:01.82
And it's just been an incredible
experience to be here.
00:01:01.86\00:01:04.29
And I think that this hour
will also go by quickly as well.
00:01:04.33\00:01:07.26
We have a lot of exciting rolls,
some more footage from what's
00:01:07.30\00:01:09.93
been happening here at Oshkosh,
along with some wonderful guests
00:01:09.96\00:01:13.54
here with us along this evening.
00:01:13.57\00:01:15.60
So tell us who we
have here this evening.
00:01:15.64\00:01:17.27
We do. Just a sneak peek.
00:01:17.31\00:01:18.64
We're going to have
Brenda Walsh and her brother.
00:01:18.67\00:01:21.68
And that is a special
treat to get her brother on,
00:01:21.71\00:01:24.05
Pastor Ken Mitcheff.
00:01:24.08\00:01:25.45
We have many rolls that we
can't wait to share with you.
00:01:25.48\00:01:28.48
You get to meet the kids, and
all kinds of incredible things
00:01:28.52\00:01:31.59
that are going
on here at Oshkosh.
00:01:31.62\00:01:33.69
We also have Pastor Ron
Whitehead, and a girl who was
00:01:33.72\00:01:36.73
baptized is going to
share her story with us.
00:01:36.76\00:01:39.39
So I'm excited about that.
00:01:39.43\00:01:40.76
And we have Roy Hunt and his
granddaughter, who's going to be
00:01:40.80\00:01:43.60
invested as a Master Guide.
00:01:43.63\00:01:45.17
So we have a full evening.
00:01:45.20\00:01:46.53
That's right. We don't have all
of them on with us right now,
00:01:46.57\00:01:48.60
obviously, because that
would be a lot of people.
00:01:48.64\00:01:50.34
But first off we have Brenda
Walsh, who's a dear friend
00:01:50.37\00:01:52.91
of Jill and myself.
00:01:52.94\00:01:54.28
And I know you knew Jill
back when she was a Pathfinder.
00:01:54.31\00:01:55.81
I did. In fact I was her Sabbath
School teacher years ago.
00:01:55.84\00:01:59.15
Incredible! So we've
known each other a long time.
00:01:59.18\00:02:02.48
And I love you, Jill.
00:02:02.52\00:02:04.09
I love your whole family.
00:02:04.12\00:02:05.45
She really has
a precious family.
00:02:05.49\00:02:07.36
We love you,
too, and your family.
00:02:07.39\00:02:08.72
And I know you have a
family member right next to you.
00:02:08.76\00:02:10.43
I would like to introduce
my brother, Ken Mitcheff.
00:02:10.46\00:02:13.40
And it really is a big deal
to get my brother to come on
00:02:13.43\00:02:15.90
the program with me.
00:02:15.93\00:02:17.27
And I'm so excited!
00:02:17.30\00:02:18.63
He's the youth director
for Michigan Conference.
00:02:18.67\00:02:20.24
And its been a really
busy week, hasn't it Ken?
00:02:20.27\00:02:24.37
Its been an incredible week.
00:02:24.41\00:02:25.84
A lot of fun, up
early, late at night.
00:02:25.87\00:02:27.94
You've got to
use your microphone.
00:02:27.98\00:02:29.31
Up... you said,
I'm not used to this.
00:02:29.34\00:02:31.31
Did you say early
mornings and late nights? Yes.
00:02:31.35\00:02:33.62
What about no sleep, maybe?
00:02:33.65\00:02:34.98
Um, a little of
that, too. A lot of that.
00:02:35.02\00:02:37.49
Right there. Okay, alright.
00:02:37.52\00:02:39.52
You're doing a good job.
00:02:39.55\00:02:40.89
Yeah, he's been working night
and day, I can tell you that.
00:02:40.92\00:02:44.63
We have a really
good crew here at Oshkosh.
00:02:44.66\00:02:47.60
We have... I get to be involved
with the summer camp ministry,
00:02:47.63\00:02:52.67
and the camps
within the Lake Union.
00:02:52.70\00:02:55.60
We bring a portion of our summer
camp staff, and they actually
00:02:55.64\00:02:59.17
work for two weeks.
00:02:59.21\00:03:00.98
We've been here since
August 4, and we will close on
00:03:01.01\00:03:05.38
August 19, and we'll head home.
00:03:05.41\00:03:07.98
Yeah, that's a huge set up.
00:03:08.02\00:03:09.62
When you have about
50,000 young people here,
00:03:09.65\00:03:12.35
that's not something simple.
00:03:12.39\00:03:13.82
That's quite a complex project.
00:03:13.86\00:03:15.52
We appreciate all the hard
work you put into all this.
00:03:15.56\00:03:17.93
Praise the Lord! And we
have some roll, but before we do
00:03:17.96\00:03:21.06
that we want to
talk about Miss Brenda.
00:03:21.10\00:03:22.66
This is the last day of
Learning Time taping. Yes.
00:03:22.70\00:03:24.87
And tell me how it went today.
00:03:24.90\00:03:26.27
Oh, it was wonderful!
00:03:26.30\00:03:27.64
God truly blessed.
00:03:27.67\00:03:29.00
In fact there was a time when
we didn't think that we were
00:03:29.04\00:03:30.84
going to have any kids, as we're
kind of off the beaten path,
00:03:30.87\00:03:33.51
and some kids
just couldn't find us.
00:03:33.54\00:03:35.21
And we just got in a
prayer huddle, and we prayed.
00:03:35.24\00:03:38.01
And it wasn't even thirty
minutes and all of a sudden
00:03:38.05\00:03:40.28
we just had a
crowd of kids. Amen!
00:03:40.32\00:03:41.82
We all said,
Thank You, Jesus! Amen!
00:03:41.85\00:03:43.59
And a little girl comes beside
me and she pulls on my skirt,
00:03:43.62\00:03:47.56
cause she was the
first one here today.
00:03:47.59\00:03:49.86
And she said, Are we taping?
00:03:49.89\00:03:51.26
I said, We have to
wait for more kids to come.
00:03:51.29\00:03:53.06
She was so excited!
00:03:53.09\00:03:54.43
And she pulled on me and she
goes, Jesus answered our prayer!
00:03:54.46\00:03:58.23
I said, Yes, He did!
00:03:58.27\00:03:59.90
Aw, how precious is that!
00:03:59.93\00:04:01.27
So we really had an amazing day.
00:04:01.30\00:04:03.41
An amazing week! Amazing week!
00:04:03.44\00:04:05.44
And we've got all of
our Learning Time segments
00:04:05.47\00:04:08.94
taped for the week.
00:04:08.98\00:04:10.31
And I'm praising Jesus!
00:04:10.35\00:04:11.68
So this, our Learning
Time season for Kids Time 2014,
00:04:11.71\00:04:15.78
we have them all done.
00:04:15.82\00:04:17.15
So it was a really just a,
what a Praise the Lord moment
00:04:17.19\00:04:21.92
when we finished. and I'd just
like to give you a look at some
00:04:21.96\00:04:25.19
And I'd just like to
give you a look at some of
00:04:25.23\00:04:26.56
our taping that we did today.
00:04:26.59\00:04:27.93
Let's go to that B roll.
00:04:27.96\00:04:29.30
Yeah, Amen. Yeah, let's
take a look at that and see
00:04:29.33\00:04:30.67
what happened here today.
00:04:30.70\00:04:32.03
Here I am, I'm just
getting ready to get the kids...
00:04:32.07\00:04:33.80
Oh well, they're
all, while we're waiting
00:04:33.84\00:04:36.20
they all come there.
00:04:36.24\00:04:37.57
We have Kids Network note pads.
00:04:37.61\00:04:40.11
And they're all coming
because they want them signed,
00:04:40.14\00:04:41.94
and then I get a chance to
visit with them, and sign their
00:04:41.98\00:04:45.15
note pads, and give them hugs.
00:04:45.18\00:04:46.72
And the kids know you love them.
00:04:46.75\00:04:48.48
You know, kids
know when you love them.
00:04:48.52\00:04:50.39
And I just really
truly love these kids.
00:04:50.42\00:04:52.25
I heard little
testimonies from them.
00:04:52.29\00:04:54.36
Each of them tell me
what Kids Time meant to them.
00:04:54.39\00:04:56.86
And, you know, a little six
year old came up to me and says,
00:04:56.89\00:05:00.70
Miss Brenda, Kids
Time's my favorite program.
00:05:00.73\00:05:03.20
Please don't stop doing it.
00:05:03.23\00:05:04.57
And so here we
are, we have the crew.
00:05:04.60\00:05:06.84
There's a lot of down
time when you do television.
00:05:06.87\00:05:09.37
So while we're waiting for the
kids to come, we try to make it
00:05:09.40\00:05:12.21
fun for the kids
as they are arriving.
00:05:12.24\00:05:13.71
We get our crew out there
and they're throwing Frisbee's.
00:05:13.74\00:05:16.31
I got into the act passing
out Frisbee's when we're going
00:05:16.34\00:05:19.61
from one place to the other.
00:05:19.65\00:05:20.98
So here I am on the golf court.
00:05:21.02\00:05:22.55
And I'm throwing out Frisbee's.
00:05:22.58\00:05:24.19
The kids are all excited,
and I'm just yelling out,
00:05:24.22\00:05:26.42
Kids Network, and
we're just having a fun time.
00:05:26.45\00:05:28.76
Because on these
Frisbee's it says, Kids Network.
00:05:28.79\00:05:31.26
That's right! And here
we are at the talent booth.
00:05:31.29\00:05:34.26
I have our
Praise Time recruiter.
00:05:34.30\00:05:36.00
There she is, Sonia Gott.
00:05:36.03\00:05:37.47
And I had her at the talent
booth, and she stayed there
00:05:37.50\00:05:40.54
all week at the
talent booth just listening.
00:05:40.57\00:05:43.30
There's the judges
for the talent booth.
00:05:43.34\00:05:45.07
And she just sat there listening
to one guest after another.
00:05:45.11\00:05:48.81
The kids coming up and they
performed their musical talent,
00:05:48.84\00:05:52.21
and then the judges choose who's
going to perform that talent
00:05:52.25\00:05:55.58
at the evening meeting. Okay.
00:05:55.62\00:05:57.75
So it's kind of a big deal that
they get to choose the talent
00:05:57.79\00:06:00.66
for the evening meeting.
00:06:00.69\00:06:02.02
And so she sat there.
00:06:02.06\00:06:03.39
I really appreciated Sonia.
00:06:03.43\00:06:05.16
These are some really
talented violin players
00:06:05.19\00:06:07.96
I'm excited to hear.
00:06:08.00\00:06:09.33
And she also
video taped everybody.
00:06:09.36\00:06:10.73
So I get to see
and hear everything.
00:06:10.77\00:06:12.93
I obviously can't be
everywhere, so I couldn't
00:06:12.97\00:06:15.40
be there this week.
00:06:15.44\00:06:16.77
But she's out there.
00:06:16.81\00:06:18.14
This was the drama team
that came and tried out.
00:06:18.17\00:06:19.81
They wanted to be on
the program in the evening.
00:06:19.84\00:06:21.78
And she sat there with her
notes taking great notes for me.
00:06:21.81\00:06:26.18
And there's all the audience
listening to all the talent.
00:06:26.21\00:06:28.85
It's got to be a
little stressful,
00:06:28.88\00:06:30.32
don't you think, for the kids?
00:06:30.35\00:06:32.02
Very stressful, absolutely.
00:06:32.05\00:06:33.39
Did you get a chance,
Ken, to see any of that talent?
00:06:33.42\00:06:35.69
Unfortunately, I did
not. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:06:35.72\00:06:38.29
I'm doing the logistics,
and I'm behind the scenes.
00:06:38.33\00:06:42.96
You're behind the scenes.
00:06:43.00\00:06:44.33
And here you are at the booth.
00:06:44.37\00:06:45.70
And here we get to the booth.
00:06:45.73\00:06:47.07
And I just want to
say a special thank you.
00:06:47.10\00:06:48.44
There's Alyssa Anderson
next to me on my left there.
00:06:48.47\00:06:50.94
We have Sonya Gott.
00:06:50.97\00:06:52.31
Whenever she wasn't in
the talent booth then she came
00:06:52.34\00:06:54.31
and helped us out at our booth.
00:06:54.34\00:06:55.88
And Roy and
Earlene Hunt; they were an
00:06:55.91\00:06:59.38
amazing team to work with.
00:06:59.41\00:07:00.75
They took care of the money end
of it so that the rest of the
00:07:00.78\00:07:05.92
team could be talking
to the people. Absolutely.
00:07:05.95\00:07:08.29
And I just tell you,
I really appreciate...
00:07:08.32\00:07:10.33
We had an incredible team.
00:07:10.36\00:07:11.79
Alyssa is my new
production manager for
00:07:11.83\00:07:14.53
our new Kids Network.
00:07:14.56\00:07:15.90
Now there's Pam Nectal.
00:07:15.93\00:07:17.27
She's my assistant.
00:07:17.30\00:07:18.63
Melissa Hoffman; that's her mom.
00:07:18.67\00:07:20.00
And she came up to help us out.
00:07:20.04\00:07:21.87
Pam is a Bible worker at
Standifer Gap church near
00:07:21.90\00:07:27.88
Collegedale, Tennessee. Amen!
00:07:27.91\00:07:29.24
So there they are just
greeting and meeting the people.
00:07:29.28\00:07:31.75
And what a team. They
worked very well together.
00:07:31.78\00:07:34.08
Yes, they do, and everybody
told me they just really
00:07:34.12\00:07:37.49
bonded as a team, too.
00:07:37.52\00:07:38.85
And there's Cheryl, and
she's just... Cheryl Rogers.
00:07:38.89\00:07:42.76
And there's Melissa,
and Sonya, and I at the end.
00:07:42.79\00:07:47.16
Really had an amazing week!
00:07:47.20\00:07:49.03
And I really want to say a
special thank you to all my
00:07:49.06\00:07:51.27
helpers in the booth.
00:07:51.30\00:07:52.63
I couldn't have
done it without them,
00:07:52.67\00:07:54.00
and they were
just truly amazing.
00:07:54.04\00:07:55.47
Yeah, absolutely. And I want
to say a special thank you also
00:07:55.50\00:07:57.84
to our crew that did
Learning Time as well.
00:07:57.87\00:07:59.57
I was just going there.
00:07:59.61\00:08:01.31
Thank you for saying that.
00:08:01.34\00:08:02.68
Because we
couldn't do it without them.
00:08:02.71\00:08:04.18
Amen, that's right.
00:08:04.21\00:08:05.55
And they did an
amazing job in the rain,
00:08:05.58\00:08:07.25
in the heat, in the cold.
00:08:07.28\00:08:08.75
We've had it all this week.
00:08:08.78\00:08:10.12
In the sunshine, and
a little sunburn, too.
00:08:10.15\00:08:11.85
That's right. But a lot of fun.
00:08:11.89\00:08:13.56
We're kind of
feeling that today.
00:08:13.59\00:08:14.92
There's a little
sunburn after all week.
00:08:14.96\00:08:16.29
But they did an
amazing job. Exactly.
00:08:16.32\00:08:18.26
The crew was incredible.
00:08:18.29\00:08:19.63
It is. And then I have for our
last wrapping, when we're on our
00:08:19.66\00:08:23.03
last time that we were, for our
last program we were so excited,
00:08:23.06\00:08:26.07
so we taped a little goodbye.
00:08:26.10\00:08:29.04
And let's take a
look at that right now.
00:08:29.07\00:08:32.41
Hello, and welcome to our 2014
Learning Time taping right here
00:08:32.44\00:08:38.78
in where boys
and girls? Oshkosh!
00:08:38.81\00:08:43.28
That right! We're
here in Oshkosh, Wisconsin,
00:08:43.32\00:08:46.42
and we've been taping
Learning Time right here at our
00:08:46.45\00:08:49.86
international
Pathfinder Camporee.
00:08:49.89\00:08:52.46
There's over
45,000 campers here.
00:08:52.49\00:08:55.66
Isn't that awesome kids?
00:08:55.70\00:09:00.00
And have you been
having a good time? Yes!
00:09:00.04\00:09:04.44
Hey Ben, have we
been having a good time?
00:09:04.47\00:09:06.51
We have been having a good time!
00:09:06.54\00:09:08.58
Yes, we have been
having a good time!
00:09:08.61\00:09:12.91
Of course, Ben Roy is
our Learning Time host,
00:09:12.95\00:09:15.92
and he's been with me
for about fifteen years.
00:09:15.95\00:09:17.95
And we've really been
enjoying a wonderful time here.
00:09:17.99\00:09:20.79
But guess what? All
good things come to an end.
00:09:20.82\00:09:23.99
We have just completed the
2014 season of Learning Time.
00:09:24.03\00:09:29.46
Yay! So boys and
girls, Do you love Jesus? Yes!
00:09:29.50\00:09:38.04
We're so excited, and we want
to tell you to keep watching.
00:09:38.07\00:09:41.84
You're going to want to watch
those new Kids Time programs,
00:09:41.88\00:09:44.28
and see us here. Where?
Oshkosh! Bye by everyone!
00:09:44.31\00:09:53.89
That was a lot of fun.
00:09:56.46\00:09:57.79
It sure was an
enthusiastic group. Amen.
00:09:57.83\00:10:00.43
When you watch that you
just get a picture of the energy
00:10:00.83\00:10:02.80
that takes place on
Kids Time. That's right.
00:10:02.83\00:10:05.23
The energy that you
see at Learning Time.
00:10:05.27\00:10:06.90
The excitement, the
enthusiasm of the Pathfinders.
00:10:06.94\00:10:09.34
That's right. They come from
all over the world and they say,
00:10:09.37\00:10:11.24
I get to be on Kids Time!
00:10:11.27\00:10:12.61
And that's an exciting thing.
00:10:12.64\00:10:14.21
So thank you for
coming, Miss Brenda.
00:10:14.24\00:10:16.54
Thank you for sharing.
00:10:16.58\00:10:17.91
And thank you for
producing, and for all that
00:10:17.95\00:10:19.28
took place this week.
00:10:19.31\00:10:20.65
That is such a blessing.
00:10:20.68\00:10:22.02
I really received
the biggest blessing.
00:10:22.05\00:10:23.59
It's really a
privilege to serve Jesus,
00:10:23.62\00:10:25.49
and I'm excited to do that.
00:10:25.52\00:10:27.32
Amen. And we have
Pastor Ken, and I know we
00:10:27.36\00:10:29.42
introduced you before.
00:10:29.46\00:10:30.79
You're the youth director
for the Michigan Conference.
00:10:30.83\00:10:32.43
But here at Oshkosh
you wear a different hat.
00:10:32.46\00:10:35.30
Tell us about what you do there.
00:10:35.33\00:10:36.67
I know we have a roll,
but first of all just tell us
00:10:36.70\00:10:38.17
what you do at Oshkosh.
00:10:38.20\00:10:39.53
Well, I coordinate
the summer camp within the
00:10:39.57\00:10:43.00
Lake Union as the staff.
00:10:43.04\00:10:44.81
And we give
them job assignments.
00:10:44.84\00:10:46.54
What an amazing group of young
people we have in our church.
00:10:46.57\00:10:51.01
In fact if you're looking for
a worker, look on their resume
00:10:51.05\00:10:54.85
and find out if they've
ever worked at a summer camp.
00:10:54.88\00:10:57.55
That's a good thing to look for?
00:10:57.59\00:10:58.92
It really is. They
work a lot of hours,
00:10:58.95\00:11:01.86
and they have a great attitude.
00:11:01.89\00:11:04.09
And you have to be
a team player as well.
00:11:04.13\00:11:05.56
Very much so. Yes.
00:11:05.59\00:11:07.70
Well, I know we have
some footage here that we took
00:11:07.73\00:11:10.47
of some of the activities
that are going on here.
00:11:10.50\00:11:12.50
And I know you were
heavily involved in that.
00:11:12.53\00:11:13.97
So let's roll that.
00:11:14.00\00:11:15.34
Explain a little bit about what
we're seeing here, Pastor Ken.
00:11:15.37\00:11:16.71
Okay. Hey, we're at
the obstacle course.
00:11:16.74\00:11:19.71
We have somewhere around
8,000 kids that go through this
00:11:19.74\00:11:24.85
obstacle
course. Incredible! Yep.
00:11:24.88\00:11:26.78
And it's a lot of neat things
that kids, they wouldn't get
00:11:26.82\00:11:31.95
to do anywhere else.
00:11:31.99\00:11:33.59
That's a rock
climbing wall there.
00:11:33.62\00:11:34.96
They come to Oshkosh
and they get to venture,
00:11:34.99\00:11:38.49
conquer their fears.
00:11:38.53\00:11:40.76
They build confidence.
00:11:40.80\00:11:43.70
People are coaching
them, and encouraging them.
00:11:43.73\00:11:46.23
They're having fun,
they're making friends,
00:11:46.27\00:11:49.37
Christian friends, too.
00:11:49.40\00:11:50.81
Good, around the world.
Amen! Yes, that's right.
00:11:50.84\00:11:54.64
What is this
here we're looking at?
00:11:54.68\00:11:56.01
You know, these
are inflatable's.
00:11:56.04\00:11:57.55
And they just have
a good time in there.
00:11:57.58\00:12:00.32
We're going back to
the obstacle course.
00:12:00.35\00:12:02.82
They're climbing, and just
really doing some cool things.
00:12:02.85\00:12:07.02
A lot of good exercise.
00:12:07.06\00:12:08.39
Kids love to do it. Yeah
00:12:08.42\00:12:09.76
Absolutely! Now
that looks like fun.
00:12:09.79\00:12:11.13
Here's the Zip line, yep.
00:12:11.16\00:12:12.49
That looks a little scary.
00:12:12.53\00:12:13.86
Uh, not for me! Did you do it?
00:12:13.90\00:12:15.23
Well, it was really fun
listening to the girls scream.
00:12:15.26\00:12:19.13
Now what is this?
Here's a German carousel.
00:12:19.17\00:12:21.20
This is a homemade
contraption that is amazing.
00:12:21.24\00:12:25.24
A guy from Germany
came and designed that,
00:12:25.27\00:12:28.71
and it's a lot of fun.
00:12:28.74\00:12:30.55
Bungee cords, they're bouncing
on trampolines, doing flips.
00:12:30.58\00:12:35.52
Long lines, but these kids
just have so much enthusiasm,
00:12:35.55\00:12:40.46
have so much fun,
and leave with a smile.
00:12:40.49\00:12:43.26
Yeah, Amen. This is
back at the obstacle course?
00:12:43.29\00:12:45.79
That's correct. It
looks quite challenging.
00:12:45.83\00:12:47.83
Yeah. Now here's some bike
racing that they get to do.
00:12:47.86\00:12:51.67
They get to practice their
skills, all kinds of exercises
00:12:51.70\00:12:56.50
that they go through,
the obstacle course again,
00:12:56.54\00:12:58.84
some really neat things.
00:12:58.87\00:13:01.44
Yeah, absolutely. A lot
of fun activities to do.
00:13:01.48\00:13:04.78
And that's the neat thing, too.
00:13:04.81\00:13:06.15
Not only are they
learning spiritual things,
00:13:06.18\00:13:07.52
but also physical as well, which
is very important. Exactly!
00:13:07.55\00:13:10.19
It looks like Frisbee.
00:13:10.22\00:13:11.55
Yep, they take time to
just be able to interact.
00:13:11.59\00:13:13.66
Sometimes you're
just tired of walking.
00:13:13.69\00:13:15.89
There's 500 acres here.
00:13:15.92\00:13:17.63
And, you know,
this is pretty cool.
00:13:17.66\00:13:19.89
This is, again, one
of the inflatable's.
00:13:19.93\00:13:22.40
Hey, here... What is that?
00:13:22.43\00:13:23.77
Now this is what we
don't want to go in.
00:13:23.80\00:13:25.53
You just don't
get to go anywhere
00:13:25.57\00:13:26.90
and use these porta potties.
00:13:26.94\00:13:28.27
I mean what are
these white trailers?
00:13:28.30\00:13:29.87
These are shower houses.
00:13:29.90\00:13:31.31
That's where they take showers.
00:13:31.34\00:13:33.94
And they have a really
good time throughout the day.
00:13:33.98\00:13:37.05
And they're pretty sweaty at
night, and they need a shower.
00:13:37.08\00:13:39.61
But guess what? There's so
many people here there's showers
00:13:39.65\00:13:43.85
are being taken around
the clock. Wow! Incredible!
00:13:43.89\00:13:48.16
Yep, people getting up
at three o'clock in the
00:13:48.19\00:13:50.16
morning to get a shower.
00:13:50.19\00:13:51.53
So you would
oversee the activities,
00:13:51.56\00:13:53.66
you oversee the security,
you oversee the shower houses,
00:13:53.70\00:13:58.67
and those out houses.
00:13:58.70\00:14:00.04
Do you oversee them as well?
00:14:00.07\00:14:01.40
Actually, we staff those.
00:14:01.44\00:14:03.20
You staff them, okay.
00:14:03.24\00:14:04.57
Exactly, we staff those.
00:14:04.61\00:14:05.94
And the staff run those things.
00:14:05.97\00:14:07.94
We do have a
company that comes in and
00:14:07.98\00:14:10.75
cleans the porta potties.
00:14:10.78\00:14:12.31
Thank goodness! Praise the Lord!
00:14:12.35\00:14:13.68
Yes, yes, Praise
the Lord for that!
00:14:13.72\00:14:15.28
But we clean the shower houses.
00:14:15.32\00:14:17.09
And all of that
the staff help out in.
00:14:17.12\00:14:19.39
Amen. I can tell you've done
a great job, because the camp
00:14:19.42\00:14:21.86
ground is just beautiful.
00:14:21.89\00:14:23.22
Because that's a lot of people.
00:14:23.26\00:14:24.59
Basically you have a
city, is what you have here.
00:14:24.63\00:14:26.39
And so a great job on getting
all the course of sanitation,
00:14:26.43\00:14:29.66
and all the activities.
00:14:29.70\00:14:31.03
And it seems like everyone
has had a wonderful time
00:14:31.07\00:14:32.90
here at Oshkosh Camporee.
00:14:32.93\00:14:34.50
Praise the Lord! And, you know,
it's all about lifting Jesus up.
00:14:34.54\00:14:37.91
Amen! Kids come here
and they learn about Jesus.
00:14:37.94\00:14:41.41
They know they're loved.
00:14:41.44\00:14:42.78
And, you know, they're
a part of a world church.
00:14:42.81\00:14:46.15
They go to their home;
they may have three or four
00:14:46.18\00:14:48.68
Pathfinders in their club.
00:14:48.72\00:14:50.19
They come here
and they're like, Wow!
00:14:50.22\00:14:52.52
This is a world
church. Amen! Amen!
00:14:52.55\00:14:55.12
Well, thank you both
for coming, and for sharing
00:14:55.16\00:14:57.36
with our 3ABN family at home.
00:14:57.39\00:14:58.83
Thank you for all that
you've done here at Oshkosh.
00:14:58.86\00:15:01.13
Praise the Lord! Love you, Jill.
00:15:01.16\00:15:03.00
Praise God! Love
you Greg. Thanks.
00:15:03.03\00:15:04.37
Thank you so
much for being here.
00:15:04.40\00:15:06.20
At this time
we're going to a roll.
00:15:06.23\00:15:08.24
We went out, actually I got to
go out and talk to some of the
00:15:08.27\00:15:12.21
kids who were here and just
say, Hey, where are you from,
00:15:12.24\00:15:14.94
and are you enjoying Oshkosh?
00:15:14.98\00:15:16.95
So let's take a
look at that roll now.
00:15:16.98\00:15:19.01
I'm standing here right outside
our 3ABN booth at hangar A,
00:15:20.55\00:15:23.99
with a brand new friend I
just met. What's your name?
00:15:24.02\00:15:26.52
My name is Andre Benjamin.
00:15:26.55\00:15:28.26
And where are you from Andre?
00:15:28.29\00:15:30.26
I'm from the US Virgin Islands.
00:15:30.29\00:15:32.03
My name is Alex Burgose.
00:15:32.06\00:15:34.33
I'm from Puerto Rico,
but I live in Orlando.
00:15:34.36\00:15:37.53
Orlando? You came all the
way from Orlando to Oshkosh.
00:15:37.57\00:15:40.30
What about you? The
same thing, Orlando.
00:15:40.34\00:15:42.87
That's awesome.
Glad you're here.
00:15:42.90\00:15:45.07
Hi Guys! We're
from Wisconsin Rapids.
00:15:45.11\00:15:47.41
Wisconsin
Rapids, that's awesome!
00:15:47.44\00:15:48.78
Is this your first Oshkosh?
00:15:48.81\00:15:50.41
No, not at all. This is
my second time going, or no,
00:15:50.45\00:15:53.78
my third. Wow,
okay. I'm getting old.
00:15:53.82\00:15:56.08
Time flies! What about you?
00:15:56.12\00:15:57.85
I'm from Phoenix, Arizona.
00:15:57.89\00:15:59.32
I'm from
Michigan, Berrien Springs,
00:15:59.35\00:16:00.89
around Andrews University.
00:16:00.92\00:16:02.26
That's wonderful.
Are you having fun? Yep!
00:16:02.29\00:16:04.43
Beverly in Washington State.
00:16:04.46\00:16:06.06
I'm Lillian. I'm
from Washington State.
00:16:06.09\00:16:08.46
I'm Matthew. And where are
you from Matthew? Tennessee.
00:16:08.50\00:16:12.00
You've got a lot of pins.
00:16:12.03\00:16:13.37
Did you trade all these pins?
00:16:13.40\00:16:14.74
I traded most of them, but some
of them I got from my cousin.
00:16:14.77\00:16:18.34
We're here in the food court,
I guess you could call it,
00:16:18.37\00:16:20.74
at Oshkosh with a club.
00:16:20.78\00:16:22.11
And where are you all from?
00:16:22.14\00:16:23.48
Louisville, Lions Exist.
00:16:23.51\00:16:29.95
This is our first time here
in an international camporee.
00:16:29.98\00:16:33.59
And how many Pathfinders are
here at Oshkosh from Paraguay?
00:16:33.62\00:16:36.86
Two: she and me!

Ha, ha, ha, ha.
They're excited here.
00:16:58.91\00:17:01.85
We're having an exciting day.
00:17:01.88\00:17:03.25
What about you?
My name is Joash,
00:17:03.28\00:17:05.22
and I'm from Compu, California.
00:17:05.25\00:17:07.06
Can you say Hi to
everybody at 3ABN? Hi!
00:17:10.13\00:17:13.33
My name is Hamilio
and I'm from Puerto Rico.
00:17:13.36\00:17:16.16
I'm Ethan from
Portland, Tennessee.
00:17:16.20\00:17:19.83
Okay, we're here at
the food area at Oshkosh.
00:17:19.87\00:17:22.74
And tell me where you
all are from. What club?
00:17:22.77\00:17:24.87
Emaol Cats. And
where is Emanuel Wildcats?
00:17:24.91\00:17:28.94
Latonia, Georgia.
Georgia, that's wonderful.
00:17:28.98\00:17:32.71
Glad you're here.
00:17:32.75\00:17:34.08
Amen! what a lot of fun.
00:17:34.12\00:17:35.82
You had a lot of fun,
didn't you, out there talking
00:17:35.85\00:17:37.19
to those young people?
00:17:37.22\00:17:38.55
I did! It was incredible.
00:17:38.59\00:17:39.92
We met them on, of
course it was different places,
00:17:39.95\00:17:42.16
but one of the places
was in the food court.
00:17:42.19\00:17:43.89
They were just coming
off of onsite activities,
00:17:43.93\00:17:46.23
and it was just incredible.
00:17:46.26\00:17:47.60
As they were walking by they
were so excited to share with
00:17:47.63\00:17:50.00
the 3ABN family, and
just say where they came from,
00:17:50.03\00:17:52.00
and what they
were doing at Oshkosh.
00:17:52.03\00:17:53.50
So it was a lot of fun.
00:17:53.54\00:17:54.87
And this was just a
snippet of all the young people.
00:17:54.90\00:17:56.24
You think about 47,000 young
people, and this is just a,
00:17:56.27\00:17:58.87
just a taste of some of them.
00:17:58.91\00:18:01.34
You know, one thing that
struck me was, was it Paraguay?
00:18:01.38\00:18:04.08
There were only two out of all
the young people that are here,
00:18:04.11\00:18:07.35
only two from the
country of Paraguay.
00:18:07.38\00:18:09.38
And they were excited
to be here, weren't they?
00:18:09.42\00:18:10.79
They were, and some of
them planned for five years
00:18:10.82\00:18:12.99
to come to Oshkosh.
00:18:13.02\00:18:14.36
They began saving and they
worked for five years to come.
00:18:14.39\00:18:17.23
And you just think of the
dedication, and sacrifice,
00:18:17.26\00:18:19.36
and what it means to
these young people to be here
00:18:19.39\00:18:21.76
with like-minded believers,
and to just share Jesus Christ.
00:18:21.80\00:18:25.20
You know, we actually have one
more small clip of what we're
00:18:25.23\00:18:27.84
calling Man On the
Street; basically the
00:18:27.87\00:18:29.37
Pathfinders on the street.
00:18:29.40\00:18:30.74
We want to go to that right now.
00:18:30.77\00:18:32.11
I'm here on the set of Learning
Time, and they've been taping
00:18:32.14\00:18:36.14
Learning Time
with Ben Roy today.
00:18:36.18\00:18:37.95
And I have a
special person with me.
00:18:37.98\00:18:39.58
What's your name? Megan.
00:18:39.61\00:18:41.78
Megan! Have you come, and
have you done any programs
00:18:41.82\00:18:45.55
here with Ben Roy? Yes.
00:18:45.59\00:18:48.26
Tell me about it. What
was the program that you did?
00:18:48.29\00:18:50.53
What did you do? I made bubbles,
and I used strings to make them.
00:18:50.56\00:18:59.53
You made bubbles? And you
used strings to make them?
00:18:59.57\00:19:02.54
That sounds fun!
00:19:02.57\00:19:04.17
I'm Shannon, and we are
from Leduc, Alberta, Canada.
00:19:04.21\00:19:07.58
You're all from
Canada? Yes, we are.
00:19:07.61\00:19:09.78
That's wonderful! How
long did it take to get here?
00:19:09.81\00:19:12.01
Ah, three days.
Did you drive or fly?
00:19:12.05\00:19:15.42
On a bus. That's a long way!
00:19:15.45\00:19:18.15
It was fun. We had a lot of fun.
00:19:18.19\00:19:19.52
We got to meet other
clubs, so it was a lot of fun.
00:19:19.55\00:19:22.26
We made new friends.
00:19:22.29\00:19:23.63
Tell me where
your club is located.
00:19:23.66\00:19:24.99
Ah, I think
it's like 4th Street.
00:19:25.03\00:19:28.36
4th Street where? What
state are we talking about?
00:19:28.40\00:19:30.57
Oh, I mean Texas, Texas. Texas!
00:19:30.60\00:19:32.33
She's eating pizza, so she's
just thinking pizza right now.
00:19:32.37\00:19:35.60
This whole club is
from Maybee, Michigan.
00:19:35.64\00:19:37.64
And on this side their
t-shirts say, Pathfinder strong.
00:19:37.67\00:19:42.34
Where are you from?
00:19:42.38\00:19:43.71
We're from Richmond, Virginia.
00:19:43.75\00:19:45.08
I am from Uganda. I'm with
the African Pathfinder Club.
00:19:45.11\00:19:48.45
And you came all the way
to Oshkosh from Uganda? Yes.
00:19:48.48\00:19:51.72
Tell me, how long was the trip?
00:19:51.75\00:19:53.46
Oh, too many hours to count.
00:19:53.49\00:19:55.12
I don't even want to know.
00:19:55.16\00:19:57.23
What's your sign all about?
00:19:57.26\00:19:58.59
Free high five's. Do
you do free high five's?
00:19:58.63\00:20:01.73
Yeah! And free hugs.
00:20:01.76\00:20:04.20
Ah! You, too? And tell me
your name and where you're from.
00:20:04.23\00:20:08.40
Lance and Caleb. Caleb
and we're from South Carolina.
00:20:08.44\00:20:12.97
We're here with a club,
and they are at the local
00:20:13.01\00:20:16.64
cell phone charger.
00:20:16.68\00:20:18.11
If your cell phone starts
to run out of juice at Oshkosh,
00:20:18.15\00:20:20.68
you've got to plug in.
00:20:20.72\00:20:22.05
Where are you all from?
00:20:22.08\00:20:23.42
Greenville, South
Carolina. South Carolina!
00:20:23.45\00:20:26.35
I'm standing here at the
Learning Time taping with a
00:20:26.39\00:20:29.26
whole club who came a very
long ways to go to Oshkosh.
00:20:29.29\00:20:32.66
What's your name,
and where are you from?
00:20:32.69\00:20:34.03
My name is Dawn Leonard,
and we are here from the
00:20:34.06\00:20:36.16
British Virgin Islands.
00:20:36.20\00:20:37.53
You guys came all the way from
from the British Virgin Islands
00:20:37.57\00:20:39.80
to come to Oshkosh?
Yeah! That's awesome!
00:20:39.83\00:20:43.54
Evolution through Christ.
00:20:43.57\00:20:44.91
And what state is that in?
00:20:44.94\00:20:46.27
Las Vegas, Nevada.
00:20:46.31\00:20:47.64
You guys came
from Las Vegas, Nevada.
00:20:47.68\00:20:49.64
So tell me, what
competition did you just win?
00:20:49.68\00:20:52.35
Uh, fancy drill for marching.
00:20:52.38\00:20:56.08
Free hugs, free hugs!
00:20:56.12\00:20:57.45
Do you want a free hug?
00:20:57.49\00:20:58.82
Yeah! Thank you!
Free hug! Free hugs!
00:20:58.85\00:21:04.93
Amen! Free hugs is one of the
wonderful things about Oshkosh.
00:21:10.00\00:21:13.44
That's just incredible.
00:21:13.47\00:21:14.80
The young people are so
excited, and on fire for God,
00:21:14.84\00:21:16.87
and having a good time.
00:21:16.91\00:21:18.44
I also want to give a
big thank you to our crew.
00:21:18.47\00:21:20.98
They're just incredible,
Sweetheart. They are.
00:21:21.01\00:21:23.14
I know that as production
manager, you get to work with
00:21:23.18\00:21:25.78
them more than I do.
00:21:25.81\00:21:27.15
But we went out on the
golf cart and got to get
00:21:27.18\00:21:29.32
all of this footage.
00:21:29.35\00:21:30.69
Brad, and Joel, and Rodney,
and Michael, and Len, and Netto
00:21:30.72\00:21:36.89
all did an
incredible job with the B roll.
00:21:36.93\00:21:38.83
And it was just a lot of fun.
00:21:38.86\00:21:40.20
And Camille, she went
with us to all the interviews,
00:21:40.23\00:21:42.96
and we had just a great time.
00:21:43.00\00:21:44.50
Yeah, we sure did, and you know,
it's a blessing to actually be
00:21:44.53\00:21:47.40
with the young people.
00:21:47.44\00:21:48.77
That always makes me feel, you
know, it's at times, you know.
00:21:48.80\00:21:51.27
life, you get a little tired.
00:21:51.31\00:21:52.64
But when you're here
you get quite enthused
00:21:52.67\00:21:54.08
because the energy
here is really high,
00:21:54.11\00:21:56.14
and it's very exciting. Amen.
00:21:56.18\00:21:57.51
And we also... I wanted
to go to a little interview.
00:21:57.55\00:22:01.05
We came across Kevin Hart.
00:22:01.08\00:22:02.98
Now many of you who've watched
3ABN for a number of years know
00:22:03.02\00:22:06.82
Kevin Hart because
he used to work in the
00:22:06.86\00:22:10.53
Pastoral Department at 3ABN.
00:22:10.56\00:22:12.06
And he's the son of Irma Murray.
00:22:12.09\00:22:14.66
Yes, and Pastor C. A. Murray.
Absolutely. That's right.
00:22:14.70\00:22:17.47
I was going to say because
of Night Light you always see,
00:22:17.50\00:22:20.20
usually Pastor Murray here.
00:22:20.24\00:22:21.84
Pastor C. A., as we
call him, on the Night
00:22:21.87\00:22:24.34
Light with Pastor Jim.
00:22:24.37\00:22:25.71
But, again, they're not
able to be here this evening.
00:22:25.74\00:22:28.11
But, again, Kevin
Hart and his family,
00:22:28.14\00:22:30.38
along with his Pathfinder Club.
00:22:30.41\00:22:32.31
And so we wanted to go
to that roll right now.
00:22:32.35\00:22:34.18
I'm standing here with a
club that came all the way from
00:22:34.22\00:22:37.32
California to
be here at Oshkosh.
00:22:37.35\00:22:39.12
And what is your club name?
00:22:39.15\00:22:40.56
Bakersfield Central Believers.
00:22:40.59\00:22:43.73
That's wonderful! From
Bakersfield, California.
00:22:43.76\00:22:46.46
Tell me what is your
favorite thing about Oshkosh?
00:22:46.49\00:22:49.60
Mini-golfing. Mini-golfing,
I didn't even know we did that.
00:22:49.63\00:22:53.17
Give me free
hugs. Oh, that's fun.
00:22:53.20\00:22:55.54
Hi fiving! High fiving?
Activities, food, ice cream.
00:22:55.57\00:23:03.61
Ice-cream, now that's wonderful!
00:23:03.65\00:23:05.78
Okay, what about you?
00:23:05.81\00:23:07.15
Meeting people. Meeting people.
00:23:07.18\00:23:08.78
Re-meeting
people. Re-meeting people.
00:23:08.82\00:23:11.25
Meeting old friends,
that's a great thing.
00:23:11.29\00:23:13.02
And on this side, tell me
what your name is sweetie.
00:23:13.05\00:23:15.69
Ian. This is Ian, and how
old are you Ian? Um, five.
00:23:15.72\00:23:21.76
He's five. He had to remember.
00:23:21.80\00:23:23.63
He's five. What
about you, sweetie?
00:23:23.67\00:23:25.40
My name is Azure, and I'm eight.
00:23:25.43\00:23:28.90
Azure, and Azure
is eight years old.
00:23:28.94\00:23:31.31
Now on this side we
have Kevin and Tara Hart.
00:23:31.34\00:23:35.14
And if you're familiar at all
with 3ABN, you would be familiar
00:23:35.18\00:23:38.58
with Kevin and Tara, because
they worked at 3ABN for years.
00:23:38.61\00:23:41.25
Kevin in our Pastoral
Ministries department,
00:23:41.28\00:23:43.22
and Azure, and Ian,
and Lucy, and Garret.
00:23:43.25\00:23:46.92
Wave Garrett. All the way
over there are their four kids.
00:23:46.96\00:23:51.39
Now tell me, you
took a call, Kevin.
00:23:51.43\00:23:53.83
You worked in
Pastoral Ministries.
00:23:53.86\00:23:55.20
How long ago was that? and
what's it like being a pastor?
00:23:55.23\00:23:57.73
Yeah, I worked at 3ABN till
October of 2013, and was there
00:23:57.77\00:24:02.57
for about seven years.
00:24:02.60\00:24:03.94
Our whole family was there.
00:24:03.97\00:24:05.31
Pastoral
department was where I worked.
00:24:05.34\00:24:06.68
Then we took a call to the
Central California Conference,
00:24:06.71\00:24:08.41
and we're loving
every minute of it.
00:24:08.44\00:24:09.98
We're in Bakersfield.
00:24:10.01\00:24:11.35
I pastor the
Bakersfield Central Church.
00:24:11.38\00:24:13.18
That's wonderful.
And Tara what's it like?
00:24:13.21\00:24:15.55
Tara is a nurse, and
you worked as a nurse.
00:24:15.58\00:24:17.65
So what's it like
being a pastor's wife?
00:24:17.69\00:24:19.22
Well, all I can say
is I love our church.
00:24:19.25\00:24:22.96
That is the best thing about
being a pastor's wife is all
00:24:22.99\00:24:26.49
the church members
that love us so much.
00:24:26.53\00:24:29.43
And they've really
taken us under their wing.
00:24:29.46\00:24:32.20
And they pray for us, and
really they're just a blessing
00:24:32.23\00:24:36.81
to us, and it's nice
to be able to serve in the
00:24:36.84\00:24:39.81
ministry for the Lord.
00:24:39.84\00:24:41.18
Amen! And they brought their
club here, and that's exciting.
00:24:41.21\00:24:43.78
Tell me, Kevin, what do you
see as the flavor of Oshkosh?
00:24:43.81\00:24:46.48
What do you think your
Pathfinders can bring back
00:24:46.51\00:24:49.08
home as far as how can they grow
00:24:49.12\00:24:50.69
spiritually, or in other ways?
00:24:50.72\00:24:52.05
Yeah, you know, my wife
and I were talking about
00:24:52.09\00:24:54.06
this for some time.
00:24:54.09\00:24:55.42
And it's one thing to look
at these pictures in magazines,
00:24:55.46\00:24:57.43
you know, world Advent
magazines: Adventist Review,
00:24:57.46\00:24:59.83
and all these other pictures
of all these young people coming
00:24:59.86\00:25:02.26
together, and it's one thing to
look at those pictures and get
00:25:02.30\00:25:04.87
excited about it, and sometimes
you'll hear a church present it.
00:25:04.90\00:25:07.74
But when you actually bring
the kids here it's just a whole
00:25:07.77\00:25:10.27
different experience.
00:25:10.31\00:25:11.64
And as we go around the most
exciting thing is to see the
00:25:11.67\00:25:13.91
smiles on the kids' faces.
00:25:13.94\00:25:15.28
I think the most important thing
about Oshkosh; this five year
00:25:15.31\00:25:18.68
meeting that happens, is that
kids get a sense that they're
00:25:18.71\00:25:22.15
not just the part of a local
church, they're not just a part
00:25:22.18\00:25:25.05
of a conference ministry of
Pathfinders, but they really are
00:25:25.09\00:25:28.09
the part of a global
movement of Pathfinders.
00:25:28.12\00:25:31.19
And that's
probably the most important
00:25:31.23\00:25:32.56
thing for young people.
00:25:32.59\00:25:33.93
You know, I did Cub
Scouts when I was younger,
00:25:33.96\00:25:35.56
and then Boy Scouts.
00:25:35.60\00:25:36.93
But this is just
something entirely different.
00:25:36.97\00:25:38.77
That was, you know,
the focus wasn't spiritual.
00:25:38.80\00:25:41.47
But this is not just a time
to spend, you know, learn crafts
00:25:41.50\00:25:45.67
and get honors, and things like
that, but really we're trying to
00:25:45.71\00:25:47.68
train our young people to learn
what the mission of the church
00:25:47.71\00:25:50.75
is and to sense that
unification, and a belonging
00:25:50.78\00:25:54.55
to our church globally.
00:25:54.58\00:25:55.92
Amen! That's the beautiful
thing about Pathfinders.
00:25:55.95\00:25:58.05
That's wonderful. Well,
we love the Hart family.
00:25:58.09\00:26:00.19
And I just noticed I missed
the gentleman on this side.
00:26:00.22\00:26:02.99
So I'm going to walk
across the front here.
00:26:03.02\00:26:04.56
And I just want to know
your name before we say bye
00:26:04.59\00:26:06.83
to the folks at home.
00:26:06.86\00:26:08.20
Tell me your name and what
your role is with the club.
00:26:08.23\00:26:09.83
My name is Joel. I'm with
the club for many years now,
00:26:09.86\00:26:13.30
and I enjoy it; love all
the kids, and they love me back.
00:26:13.34\00:26:16.87
That's wonderful! Well let's
say Hi to the folks at 3ABN. Hi!
00:26:16.91\00:26:21.84
Amen! Thank you Kevin and Tera.
00:26:24.25\00:26:26.41
And Kevin is the Pastor of the
Bakersfield Central Seventh-day
00:26:26.45\00:26:30.55
Adventist Church
there in California,
00:26:30.59\00:26:31.92
and doing a great job. Amen.
00:26:31.95\00:26:33.29
And it was nice to catch
up with him and his family,
00:26:33.32\00:26:35.22
and his Pathfinder Club.
00:26:35.26\00:26:36.59
And again, the neat thing is
the spirituality that he talked
00:26:36.62\00:26:38.83
about also here at Oshkosh.
00:26:38.86\00:26:40.50
That's a
wonderful thing as well.
00:26:40.53\00:26:41.86
Not only are they doing the
fun activities, but also they're
00:26:41.90\00:26:44.07
being
spiritually enriched as well.
00:26:44.10\00:26:46.63
Now we have some special guests
that have joined us right now.
00:26:46.67\00:26:49.37
We have Roy Hunt, who is
director of 3ABN's Planned
00:26:49.40\00:26:53.14
Giving at 3ABN,
along with your wife.
00:26:53.17\00:26:55.31
She's your
associate. Office Manager.
00:26:55.34\00:26:58.78
Office Manager for
Planned Giving as well.
00:26:58.81\00:27:00.42
And Trust
Officer. Amen, and Trust.
00:27:00.45\00:27:01.85
Thank you for adding that.
00:27:01.88\00:27:03.22
We love the Hunt's,
and are just so blessed
00:27:03.25\00:27:05.19
to have you all at 3ABN.
00:27:05.22\00:27:06.55
That's right. Now you have a
special guest setting next to
00:27:06.59\00:27:08.59
you, Roy. And tell us
who you have next to you.
00:27:08.62\00:27:10.73
Well, I love this introduction.
00:27:10.76\00:27:12.83
This is our third
Pathfinder Camporee,
00:27:12.86\00:27:16.63
International Camporee.
00:27:16.67\00:27:18.17
Which it happens every five
years, so that's quite a few.
00:27:18.20\00:27:20.80
Every five years, and five yeas
ago Elizabeth was a Pathfinder.
00:27:20.84\00:27:25.41
She is with the Pathfinder
Club from Colorado. Wow!
00:27:25.44\00:27:30.05
And this year... Her
name is Elizabeth Hanson.
00:27:30.08\00:27:34.22
And this year she's going to
be invested as a Master Guide.
00:27:34.25\00:27:38.22
Wow! Amen! That's a huge honor.
00:27:38.25\00:27:41.92
That's a huge
Amen! Praise the Lord!
00:27:41.96\00:27:43.69
Elizabeth's your granddaughter.
00:27:43.73\00:27:45.06
Is she your
oldest granddaughter?
00:27:45.09\00:27:46.43
She's not our oldest, but close.
00:27:46.46\00:27:48.06
Oldest? Oh! That's very special
to have family here, too.
00:27:48.10\00:27:51.83
And especially to be here for
such a special ceremony as well.
00:27:51.87\00:27:54.60
And that's Sabbath is when this
takes place, which is tomorrow.
00:27:54.64\00:27:57.54
It's scheduled to be
9:00 o'clock in the morning.
00:27:57.57\00:28:00.08
So 9:00 o'clock
tomorrow morning.
00:28:00.11\00:28:01.44
So tell me,
Elizabeth, You've been in
00:28:01.48\00:28:03.04
Pathfinders how many years?
00:28:03.08\00:28:04.41
I started when I was
ten, so almost seven years.
00:28:04.45\00:28:10.55
Almost seven years. Yeah.
00:28:10.59\00:28:12.12
And what would be
one thing that you really
00:28:12.15\00:28:14.39
enjoy about Pathfinders?
00:28:14.42\00:28:15.96
Because being in Pathfinders
seven years is a long time.
00:28:15.99\00:28:18.16
You could say,
I'm tired of this.
00:28:18.19\00:28:19.86
I want to quit. So why
have you stayed in Pathfinders?
00:28:19.89\00:28:22.36
What's something you
really like about it?
00:28:22.40\00:28:23.90
I like the, I like my group.
00:28:23.93\00:28:26.43
We, honestly, we're
really a chill group.
00:28:26.47\00:28:30.17
We... She admits it!
00:28:30.21\00:28:34.91
Yeah! We... Do you do a
lot of fun things together?
00:28:34.94\00:28:39.98
Yeah. We'll have
class work and our honors.
00:28:40.02\00:28:43.99
I'm a teacher now. Yes.
00:28:44.02\00:28:46.39
I'm helping with
the classes. Amen!
00:28:46.42\00:28:48.26
I taught the
Friend class this year.
00:28:48.29\00:28:50.29
Oh, that's exciting!
00:28:50.33\00:28:51.69
And being a Master Guide,
or being Invested tomorrow
00:28:51.73\00:28:55.33
morning as a Master Guide
is a really big accomplishment.
00:28:55.36\00:28:57.93
Being a Master
Guide is really big.
00:28:57.97\00:28:59.33
I was in Pathfinders and
I never got my Master Guide.
00:28:59.37\00:29:01.54
I ended after Guide.
00:29:01.57\00:29:02.90
So tell me, what would be some
of the things that you have to
00:29:02.94\00:29:05.37
do in order to
be a Master Guide?
00:29:05.41\00:29:07.44
There's actually
quite a bit of reading.
00:29:07.48\00:29:10.35
There's the
Ellen White readings.
00:29:10.38\00:29:12.61
I had to read the Pathfinder
Story by John Hancock.
00:29:13.25\00:29:17.12
I actually, when my director
came over to my house he was
00:29:17.15\00:29:23.83
just doing the check
off of everything I've done,
00:29:23.86\00:29:26.29
and I'd actually
completed a lot of it just by
00:29:26.33\00:29:28.70
being in
Pathfinders. Oh, that's great!
00:29:28.73\00:29:30.93
It's like I had to
earn two extra honors.
00:29:30.97\00:29:33.23
I had simply earned that by
doing honors within the club.
00:29:33.27\00:29:37.17
So just Pathfinders helped
to actually earn a lot of the
00:29:37.21\00:29:41.78
requirements for it.
00:29:41.81\00:29:43.14
Amen! That's an
incredible accomplishment.
00:29:43.18\00:29:45.58
I know to have Grandma and
Grandpa here for the Investiture
00:29:45.61\00:29:48.42
tomorrow morning;
that's very special.
00:29:48.45\00:29:50.05
She invited us special to
actually pin the pin on her,
00:29:50.09\00:29:55.22
and put the
scarf on her. Oh, wow!
00:29:55.26\00:29:57.16
So we wouldn't have
missed this for anything.
00:29:57.19\00:29:58.99
You know, this is exciting.
00:29:59.03\00:30:00.36
How special is
that? This is special.
00:30:00.40\00:30:02.26
We're asking the Lord to keep
the rain away, and have sunshine
00:30:02.30\00:30:07.20
on such a beautiful day.
00:30:07.24\00:30:09.10
Amen. Yeah, absolutely.
00:30:09.14\00:30:11.44
You know, what we should do?
00:30:11.47\00:30:12.81
You know, we should actually
have a prayer for you Elizabeth.
00:30:12.84\00:30:14.68
Amen! Because this is
a big accomplishment.,
00:30:14.71\00:30:16.04
It is. It's a special day.
00:30:16.08\00:30:17.41
And Mr. Roy is your Grandpa.
00:30:17.45\00:30:18.78
I don't know if you'd like
to pray for her, but you know,
00:30:18.81\00:30:20.15
we want to pray for your life
as well, because you've made
00:30:20.18\00:30:22.32
some wonderful decisions
for the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:30:22.35\00:30:24.29
And that's one of the
most powerful things we can do,
00:30:24.32\00:30:25.95
you know, is choose
Jesus as the number one
00:30:25.99\00:30:27.79
person in our life.
00:30:27.82\00:30:29.16
And so let's have a
quick prayer for her. Sure.
00:30:29.19\00:30:30.53
Roy, would you mind to
pray for your granddaughter?
00:30:30.56\00:30:31.89
Our dear heavenly Father, we
pause just for a moment to say
00:30:31.93\00:30:36.43
thank You for leading
Elizabeth on the right path.
00:30:36.46\00:30:41.47
We're so privileged to have her
as a Pathfinder, and wanting to
00:30:41.50\00:30:45.57
continue as a teacher.
00:30:45.61\00:30:47.14
And we just ask that she
will always be the best example
00:30:47.18\00:30:50.68
possible for the young people.
00:30:50.71\00:30:52.11
It's so important. Amen.
00:30:52.15\00:30:54.12
She had many good examples
for her as she was going through
00:30:54.15\00:30:58.32
Pathfinders, and we just
ask that that will continue.
00:30:58.35\00:31:01.52
Thank You for all that
You've done for us. Amen.
00:31:01.56\00:31:04.46
Amen! Amen! Well,
congratulations Elizabeth.
00:31:04.49\00:31:07.93
We're... Thank you... very proud
of you, and I know Gram and
00:31:07.96\00:31:10.13
Grandpa, Roy and
Earlene, are very proud as well.
00:31:10.17\00:31:12.23
We're smiling all
the way. That's right.
00:31:12.27\00:31:14.20
Now we also have you on, Roy.
00:31:14.24\00:31:15.60
I know you're 3ABN's director
of Planned Giving and Trust
00:31:15.64\00:31:18.44
Services, but here at Oshkosh
you are functioning in an
00:31:18.47\00:31:21.81
entirely different capacity.
00:31:21.84\00:31:23.91
I'm out of character.
00:31:23.95\00:31:25.41
I don't know how to handle this.
00:31:25.45\00:31:26.98
Kids Network and you have
a badge which you can't see.
00:31:27.02\00:31:29.65
It says, Vendor Pass,
so tell us about this.
00:31:29.68\00:31:32.92
Have you ever followed Miss
Brenda around? Yes, we have.
00:31:32.95\00:31:36.59
You have? Well, I
tell you what, we've been
00:31:36.62\00:31:39.16
in the booth with her.
00:31:39.19\00:31:40.53
We've tried to keep up with her.
00:31:40.56\00:31:41.96
She never quits. And by the
end of the day we are just tired
00:31:42.00\00:31:47.50
and ready to go
back to the hotel. Yes.
00:31:47.54\00:31:50.24
And Miss
Brenda's still going. Yes.
00:31:50.27\00:31:52.04
But you know, we're
here for a good cause. Amen!
00:31:52.07\00:31:54.58
We're actually here to
support the Kids Network,
00:31:54.61\00:31:58.78
the new Kids Network
that 3ABN is launching,
00:31:58.81\00:32:02.32
and there's a lot of good
things that are happening.
00:32:02.35\00:32:04.62
It was exciting that people came
by the booth and they wanted
00:32:04.65\00:32:08.52
to know more. That's right.
00:32:08.56\00:32:10.19
They had seen the announcement
that we were going to do this.
00:32:10.23\00:32:15.56
And moving to
Chattanooga, and all this.
00:32:15.60\00:32:18.53
And they wanted to
know what's happening.
00:32:18.57\00:32:20.37
And so we have the opportunity
to sell product, to tell people
00:32:20.40\00:32:25.31
about the Kids
Network and where it's going.
00:32:25.34\00:32:30.81
Amen! What a wonderful
opportunity to meet young
00:32:30.85\00:32:32.81
people, isn't it?
from around the world.
00:32:32.85\00:32:34.18
Absolutely! And to see the young
people react to Miss Brenda,
00:32:34.22\00:32:37.85
to me is exciting. It is.
00:32:37.89\00:32:39.89
To see the love
they have for her.
00:32:39.92\00:32:41.32
Absolutely! And what's
even more exciting is to see the
00:32:41.36\00:32:46.29
adults come up and they
say, Miss Brenda, is she around?
00:32:46.33\00:32:51.67
And I say, Well,
she's standing right here.
00:32:51.70\00:32:53.64
And they'll go, Oh!
00:32:53.67\00:32:55.14
And they're as excited as the
kids are, and even more. Amen!
00:32:55.17\00:33:00.58
And so that's a real
testimony to that ministry that
00:33:00.61\00:33:04.91
Miss Brenda has provided.
00:33:04.95\00:33:07.52
Over the years we have young
people coming that used to be
00:33:07.55\00:33:11.35
part of the program
that were this tall.
00:33:11.39\00:33:14.99
They're this tall
now. They're now grown.
00:33:15.02\00:33:16.62
They've come back to
see what's happening. Wow!
00:33:16.66\00:33:18.99
That's right. That's exciting.
00:33:19.03\00:33:20.36
We have a roll that we
want to go to right now.
00:33:20.40\00:33:22.13
We had a chance to stop by
the booth and meet some of the
00:33:22.16\00:33:24.57
people there, so
let's take a look at that.
00:33:24.60\00:33:26.80
I'm standing here in
hangar A at the 3ABN booth.
00:33:28.10\00:33:31.77
And there's a lot of commotion.
00:33:31.81\00:33:33.14
There's a lot of kids.
00:33:33.17\00:33:34.51
There's a lot of
Pathfinder Club Directors,
00:33:34.54\00:33:35.88
and a lot of
stuff going on here.
00:33:35.91\00:33:38.08
There's pin trading.
00:33:38.11\00:33:39.45
We have Maxwell
dogs, and Eleanor dogs.
00:33:39.48\00:33:41.38
We've got all
kinds of stuff here.
00:33:41.42\00:33:43.02
And we have Pam
here just down the way.
00:33:43.05\00:33:46.05
And this is Pam, and
she's at the 3ABN booth.
00:33:46.09\00:33:49.02
And she has been
working here the whole time.
00:33:49.06\00:33:51.39
What has it been
like at the booth?
00:33:51.43\00:33:53.46
It's crazy! It's wonderful!
00:33:53.50\00:33:55.60
We're talking to people
from all over the world,
00:33:55.63\00:33:57.77
and we're getting hugs.
00:33:57.80\00:33:59.13
And the love that's
spread from this booth.
00:33:59.17\00:34:02.50
Yesterday we talked to
some teenagers that came in,
00:34:02.54\00:34:05.14
and they wanted to know
if Miss Brenda was here.
00:34:05.17\00:34:09.34
We said, Well, she won't
be at the booth until Sabbath.
00:34:09.38\00:34:12.08
And they got tears
in their eyes when they
00:34:12.11\00:34:14.58
thought that she was here.
00:34:14.62\00:34:15.95
And they found her
here yesterday afternoon
00:34:15.98\00:34:17.45
and it was crazy, wild.
00:34:17.49\00:34:19.09
People just love
Miss Brenda, and they love
00:34:19.12\00:34:21.06
this program worldwide.
00:34:21.09\00:34:22.82
This is great! I'm
so happy to be here.
00:34:22.86\00:34:25.26
Amen! We're so glad
to have you here, too.
00:34:25.29\00:34:27.20
It's just an incredible thing.
00:34:27.23\00:34:28.66
We have Alyssa as
well, and she's working hard.
00:34:28.70\00:34:31.17
But we're going to try to
see if we can talk to her.
00:34:31.20\00:34:33.03
Alyssa, do you
have just a minute?
00:34:33.07\00:34:35.20
Hello. How are you?
00:34:35.24\00:34:36.57
Tell us what it's
been like for you working
00:34:36.60\00:34:38.17
here at the 3ABN booth.
00:34:38.21\00:34:39.54
It has been exciting.
00:34:39.57\00:34:41.58
It has been very, very busy.
00:34:41.61\00:34:43.08
So many people are interested.
00:34:43.11\00:34:44.45
So many people who don't watch
3ABN who are all of a sudden
00:34:44.48\00:34:48.22
excited because
they have something
00:34:48.25\00:34:50.55
for their kids to watch.
00:34:50.59\00:34:51.92
They have something to give
to them that's different than
00:34:51.95\00:34:53.72
what's in the world.
00:34:53.76\00:34:55.09
And so we're very,
very, very, excited.
00:34:55.12\00:34:57.46
And it's been hectic, but
it's a good kind of hectic.
00:34:57.49\00:34:59.73
And we're really happy.
00:34:59.76\00:35:01.10
Are you getting a little tired?
00:35:01.13\00:35:02.46
A little bit! Ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:35:02.50\00:35:05.07
I see you got some
Maxwell dogs here. Yeah.
00:35:05.10\00:35:07.97
Are you selling a lot?
00:35:08.00\00:35:09.34
We are selling a
lot of Maxwell's.
00:35:09.37\00:35:11.21
People touch them and they
feel how warm and cuddly he is,
00:35:11.24\00:35:14.24
and they fall in love.
00:35:14.28\00:35:15.81
And he's a very,
very special dog.
00:35:15.84\00:35:17.48
And we're happy that we
have so many to give to people,
00:35:17.51\00:35:19.41
to sell to people.
00:35:19.45\00:35:20.78
And we've got 3ABN tee shirts.
00:35:20.82\00:35:22.15
I see you're wearing one.
00:35:22.18\00:35:23.52
3ABN tee shirts, yes.
00:35:23.55\00:35:24.89
They are selling
really well as well.
00:35:24.92\00:35:26.32
And we're encouraging people
to buy them, and to wear them
00:35:26.35\00:35:28.72
so that they can
promote the network.
00:35:28.76\00:35:30.39
And are you trading
any pins at the booth?
00:35:30.43\00:35:32.46
We are trading
pins at the booth.
00:35:32.49\00:35:34.10
I have one here on my lanyard.
00:35:34.13\00:35:35.53
It's our new network pin.
00:35:35.56\00:35:37.37
And Miss Brenda is encouraging
people to trade with her because
00:35:37.40\00:35:41.54
she's showing them
on the air as well.
00:35:41.57\00:35:43.10
So conference, union, and
club pins she's looking for,
00:35:43.14\00:35:47.11
and are really
excited to get those as well.
00:35:47.14\00:35:48.48
We're gotten some
really great ones.
00:35:48.51\00:35:49.84
You have. I know
opening night, Wednesday night,
00:35:49.88\00:35:52.38
on the Night Light Miss
Brenda opened up a box and
00:35:52.41\00:35:54.92
poured out the pins.
00:35:54.95\00:35:56.28
And there were a lot of pins.
00:35:56.32\00:35:57.65
There were a lot of pins.
00:35:57.69\00:35:59.02
So we're getting our pins out,
and we're getting some really,
00:35:59.05\00:36:01.39
really great ones as well.
00:36:01.42\00:36:02.76
That's great. Well, thanks
for taking time to talk to us.
00:36:02.79\00:36:04.79
I know you're really busy here.
00:36:04.83\00:36:06.16
That was great. Thank you.
00:36:06.19\00:36:07.53
We had one more person at
the booth we want you to meet.
00:36:07.56\00:36:10.53
That's Earlene Hunt.
00:36:10.57\00:36:11.93
Earlene's been busy
working here at the booth,
00:36:11.97\00:36:14.97
she and her husband Roy.
00:36:15.00\00:36:16.54
And tell me what it
has been like for you to
00:36:16.57\00:36:19.04
be at the booth here.
00:36:19.07\00:36:20.41
Oh, it's been exciting.
00:36:20.44\00:36:21.78
A lot going on. People from
so many different countries.
00:36:21.81\00:36:25.08
And running into old
friends; that's exciting.
00:36:25.11\00:36:27.95
And all the kids are very
excited; especially when they
00:36:27.98\00:36:30.69
look up there and
say, Is Miss Brenda here?
00:36:30.72\00:36:33.32
Oh, yeah, she's here somewhere.
00:36:33.36\00:36:35.52
So that's exciting to me.
00:36:35.56\00:36:37.33
Oh, yeah. It's
incredible just to see the
00:36:37.36\00:36:39.39
energy in the booth here.
00:36:39.43\00:36:40.76
You know, all the kids
coming by, and the adults.
00:36:40.80\00:36:42.83
That's wonderful!
Do you work long hours?
00:36:42.86\00:36:45.97
What are your
hours at the booth?
00:36:46.00\00:36:47.34
Oh, it's been from 9 to 5.
00:36:47.37\00:36:49.74
Is that called bankers hours?
00:36:49.77\00:36:51.84
I've been enjoying this!
00:36:51.87\00:36:54.08
It doesn't matter
how many hours it is.
00:36:54.11\00:36:55.44
If we need to
stay longer we will.
00:36:55.48\00:36:57.31
My feet are a little
sore, but I'm still ready to go.
00:36:57.35\00:36:59.71
That's... I'm
having fun. Having fun.
00:36:59.75\00:37:02.28
That's great! That's wonderful!
00:37:02.32\00:37:04.45
And even though it's 9 to 5,
you're working so long and tired
00:37:04.49\00:37:07.92
that it feels like probably 6 in
the morning until 11 at night.
00:37:07.96\00:37:10.89
Ah, yes, you get up at that
time so you can hike all the way
00:37:10.93\00:37:14.36
across the field,
and get to hanger A.
00:37:14.40\00:37:16.20
That's right. Well, there's a
lot of energy here at the booth.
00:37:16.23\00:37:19.50
We're having a great time.
00:37:19.53\00:37:20.87
Thank you so much, Earlene.
00:37:20.90\00:37:22.24
Oh, you're
welcome. Thanks, Jill.
00:37:22.27\00:37:23.61
We're just
having a wonderful time.
00:37:23.64\00:37:24.97
Thanks for joining us.
00:37:25.01\00:37:26.57
Amen! I tell you, what a
lot of work that people do
00:37:26.61\00:37:31.01
put in at the booth.
00:37:31.05\00:37:32.38
But it's a wonderful work,
and what an opportunity, again,
00:37:32.41\00:37:34.45
to meet the people.
00:37:34.48\00:37:35.82
Mr. Roy, I want to say Thank
you so much for all that you do
00:37:35.85\00:37:38.02
for 3ABN, for your guy's
friendship with Jill and myself,
00:37:38.05\00:37:40.86
and your wife as well.
00:37:40.89\00:37:42.22
And Elizabeth, it's
nice to see you again, too.
00:37:42.26\00:37:44.03
I know we met
several years back,
00:37:44.06\00:37:45.39
but thank you
again for being here.
00:37:45.43\00:37:47.03
We appreciate you very much.
00:37:47.06\00:37:48.40
And God be with you.
00:37:48.43\00:37:49.76
Thank you for having me. Yeah.
00:37:49.80\00:37:51.13
Alright. Now we
have a special roll.
00:37:51.17\00:37:53.97
I don't know if any
of you like bicycling,
00:37:54.00\00:37:56.27
but we have a number of things.
00:37:56.30\00:37:57.64
Our time is flying quickly
here on this one hour program,
00:37:57.67\00:38:01.34
but we have a
special Pathfinder group.
00:38:01.38\00:38:03.41
Now you'll be absolutely amazed,
because I think by the time I
00:38:03.45\00:38:06.68
got to Pathfinders, I
would be absolutely tired.
00:38:06.72\00:38:10.15
You'll hear exactly what
they did to get here to Oshkosh.
00:38:10.19\00:38:12.99
Let's go to that roll.
00:38:13.02\00:38:14.36
I'm standing here
outside of a trailer that was
00:38:14.39\00:38:16.99
pulled for 830 miles.
00:38:17.03\00:38:21.06
The Carolina Conference
organized Bike For Life.
00:38:21.10\00:38:24.30
They went from Asheville, North
Carolina all the way to Oshkosh.
00:38:24.33\00:38:28.90
The Pathfinders;
they biked 830 miles.
00:38:28.94\00:38:32.91
And over here I have with me
the bikers, the ones who went,
00:38:32.94\00:38:36.58
and the ones who organized, and
the ones who planned the route.
00:38:36.61\00:38:39.51
And we'll start
with Kathy and Ed.
00:38:39.55\00:38:41.22
They're both on
the Pathfinder Council
00:38:41.25\00:38:43.28
for the Carolina Conference.
00:38:43.32\00:38:45.05
And tell me, Kathy,
how this idea got started.
00:38:45.09\00:38:48.32
Well, it started with
the first Oshkosh Camporee.
00:38:48.36\00:38:50.96
It was the brain child of Alden
Howe, who was a youth pastor
00:38:50.99\00:38:54.96
at the Hendersonville,
North Carolina church,
00:38:55.00\00:38:57.43
and Brian Dudar, who was the
conference Pathfinder director,
00:38:57.47\00:39:01.00
and what they wanted to bring
a team to that first Camporee.
00:39:01.04\00:39:04.24
And so they put it
together, and it ended up being
00:39:04.27\00:39:06.94
a 1,200 mile ride.
00:39:06.98\00:39:09.04
1,200 mile ride!
That's incredible!
00:39:09.08\00:39:11.98
I can't even imagine 1,200 mile.
00:39:12.01\00:39:13.82
And this one
you all did was 830.
00:39:13.85\00:39:15.72
Yes, it was. And after that
first one those of us who were
00:39:15.75\00:39:20.16
on the ride were so impressed
with the impact it had on the
00:39:20.19\00:39:23.93
teens, as far as leadership
skills, and physical fitness
00:39:23.96\00:39:26.90
skills, and everything,
that we decided to make
00:39:26.93\00:39:29.66
it an ongoing activity.
00:39:29.70\00:39:31.20
So we do a six
day tour every summer.
00:39:31.23\00:39:33.27
That's wonderful! Now Kathy
and her husband are both on the
00:39:33.30\00:39:36.37
Pathfinder Council.
00:39:36.40\00:39:37.74
And you work with this.
00:39:37.77\00:39:39.11
And Ed is there as well.
00:39:39.14\00:39:40.48
So tell me, Ed, for this
planning for this summer,
00:39:40.51\00:39:42.71
what was the planning that was
involved in getting it going?
00:39:42.74\00:39:45.85
First getting the approval
for the trip from our Council.
00:39:45.88\00:39:50.49
Then once we got that we had
to plan a route, plan lodging,
00:39:50.52\00:39:53.99
plan logistics of how we're
going to get Pathfinders from
00:39:54.02\00:39:56.32
wherever they are
to the starting point.
00:39:56.36\00:39:59.73
And then make sure we've
got a cook, which is a very
00:39:59.76\00:40:03.73
important part; the
nutrition along the ride is key.
00:40:03.77\00:40:06.53
We've got to have
the energy to ride.
00:40:06.57\00:40:08.50
Just all those types of things
go into the planning process.
00:40:08.54\00:40:12.14
Finances, that
would be huge, too.
00:40:12.17\00:40:15.08
Planning
sponsorships for our riders,
00:40:15.11\00:40:17.68
just for our
group is incredible.
00:40:17.71\00:40:20.58
We have a wonderful group
of sponsors that have been
00:40:20.62\00:40:22.68
faithful, and
repeat sponsors every year,
00:40:22.72\00:40:24.39
and we're thankful for that.
00:40:24.42\00:40:26.35
That's wonderful! Did
you both ride as well?
00:40:26.39\00:40:28.72
I did. You did? I was unable to
ride this year, but I've ridden
00:40:28.76\00:40:32.26
for the past 8.
Oh, that's wonderful!
00:40:32.29\00:40:34.60
And here we have some of
the campers, some of the bikers.
00:40:34.63\00:40:38.07
Now tell me, How old
you are, and what city
00:40:38.10\00:40:39.93
you're from what club?
00:40:39.97\00:40:41.30
I am thirteen, and I'm from
the Greenville North Star Club.
00:40:41.34\00:40:45.57
Okay, she's from
Greenville, North Carolina.
00:40:45.61\00:40:47.68
And tell me, what was it like?
00:40:47.71\00:40:49.04
Is this your first time riding a
bike, or have you always ridden?
00:40:49.08\00:40:51.71
Well, I've technically
ridden a bike since I was four,
00:40:51.75\00:40:55.42
but I didn't actually start
training since two months ago.
00:40:55.45\00:41:00.76
Two months! She's
been training two months,
00:41:00.79\00:41:02.39
and she just rode 830 miles.
00:41:02.42\00:41:04.23
That's
incredible! Good job sweetie!
00:41:04.26\00:41:06.13
Now tell me, I'm going to just
step on this side of you here.
00:41:06.16\00:41:08.53
Tell me what your name
is, and where you're from.
00:41:08.56\00:41:12.43
My name is Nathan
Norris, and I'm from
00:41:12.47\00:41:14.90
Charleston, South Carolina.
00:41:14.94\00:41:18.01
So Carolina
Conference encompasses
00:41:18.04\00:41:19.54
North and South
Carolina? Yes, Ma'am.
00:41:19.57\00:41:21.24
Okay, and have you
been riding a long time?
00:41:21.28\00:41:23.21
Before I rode biking,
I've been mountain biking for
00:41:23.24\00:41:26.78
approximately 4 to 6 years.
00:41:26.82\00:41:28.78
So he's kind of used to being
on a bike, and mountain biking.
00:41:28.82\00:41:31.49
But road biking, how
was road biking different
00:41:31.52\00:41:33.22
from mountain biking?
00:41:33.25\00:41:34.59
It's more of an
endurance for it.
00:41:34.62\00:41:36.93
In mountain biking you're always
standing, stopping, and going.
00:41:36.96\00:41:40.53
But this is just
monotonous, constant.
00:41:40.56\00:41:43.30
I would think it gets a
little monotonous; 830 miles.
00:41:43.33\00:41:46.84
And Tommy, what is your
name, and where you're from?
00:41:46.87\00:41:49.50
So my name's Parker La
Claire, and I'm also from
00:41:49.54\00:41:52.07
Charleston, South Carolina.
00:41:52.11\00:41:53.44
And did you used to
mountain bike, too or not?
00:41:53.48\00:41:55.91
Yes, ma'am, I did. I have
been for about, ever since...
00:41:55.94\00:42:00.55
I think I was born
on a mountain bike.
00:42:00.58\00:42:02.48
He was born on a mountain bike.
00:42:02.52\00:42:04.82
Well, that's wonderful.
00:42:04.95\00:42:06.42
Now tell me your name
and where you're from.
00:42:06.45\00:42:08.82
I'm Melody Manallo, and I'm
from Greenville, North Carolina.
00:42:08.86\00:42:12.79
Okay, and is this your
first time on a road bike,
00:42:12.83\00:42:15.60
or have you been
road biking a long time?
00:42:15.63\00:42:17.43
I've been road
biking for about two months.
00:42:17.47\00:42:21.34
Two months! So you and
you guys are both fairly new;
00:42:21.37\00:42:25.64
only two months. Good job girls.
00:42:25.67\00:42:27.38
Now I
understand you had a wreck.
00:42:27.41\00:42:29.68
Yeah, I did. She
had several wrecks.
00:42:29.71\00:42:33.48
So tell me what happened?
00:42:33.52\00:42:35.05
I fell and I got
scraped up pretty much.
00:42:35.08\00:42:40.46
And she fell and got scraped up.
00:42:40.49\00:42:41.99
And I can see your arm.
00:42:42.02\00:42:43.36
You got your
elbow. I can see that
00:42:43.39\00:42:44.99
And then the back of your leg.
00:42:45.03\00:42:46.39
But you're okay,
so praise the Lord.
00:42:46.43\00:42:47.90
In spite of falling and getting
scraped up, you got up again,
00:42:47.93\00:42:50.77
and you kept riding.
00:42:50.80\00:42:52.13
And you made it
all the way to Oshkosh.
00:42:52.17\00:42:53.50
That's wonderful!
Tell me your name.
00:42:53.54\00:42:54.97
Jerry Shepherd, and I'm
from Tryon, North Carolina.
00:42:55.00\00:43:00.38
And I've been riding
for about two or three
00:43:00.41\00:43:04.28
months prior to the ride.
00:43:04.31\00:43:05.65
Okay. So we have several
newbie's; not newbie's but just
00:43:05.68\00:43:09.02
fairly new, and going on
this ride. That's wonderful!
00:43:09.05\00:43:11.75
Were you really tired?
00:43:11.79\00:43:13.12
Did it seem like a long ways?
00:43:13.15\00:43:14.49
Yes. It was extremely long.
00:43:14.52\00:43:17.26
I would think! It
took two weeks, right?
00:43:17.29\00:43:20.30
Two weeks for you guys to ride?
00:43:20.33\00:43:21.66
Now what's your name?
00:43:21.70\00:43:23.03
And tell me about yourself.
00:43:23.06\00:43:24.40
I am Trey Shepherd,
and this is my third year
00:43:24.43\00:43:27.14
riding on a road bike.
00:43:27.17\00:43:28.57
And I'm from
Tryon, North Carolina.
00:43:28.60\00:43:30.37
Okay, that's wonderful!
00:43:30.41\00:43:32.57
And we've got to
keep moving here.
00:43:32.61\00:43:34.14
We want to get to
everybody. What about you?
00:43:34.18\00:43:36.24
I'm David Zinky. I
happen to be Jordan's father.
00:43:36.28\00:43:39.48
And just like her, I
started training this summer.
00:43:39.51\00:43:42.62
And, of course, I've been riding
pretty much since I was six
00:43:42.65\00:43:45.95
or seven, but I actually got as
may miles in the first two weeks
00:43:45.99\00:43:49.89
of training as I had the
previous part of my life.
00:43:49.92\00:43:52.99
So you started
training pretty intensely.
00:43:53.03\00:43:55.40
That sounds like
pretty intense training.
00:43:55.43\00:43:57.27
Now you were on
a unicycle earlier.
00:43:57.30\00:43:58.80
Didn't I see you
on a unicycle? Yes.
00:43:58.83\00:44:00.67
But you didn't ride
the unicycle on the ride?
00:44:00.70\00:44:02.57
No. A unicycle was
not part of the ride.
00:44:02.60\00:44:04.21
But I'm going to be
helping today in today's event,
00:44:04.24\00:44:06.07
unicycling honor
today at Oshkosh here.
00:44:06.11\00:44:08.54
Okay, that's wonderful.
00:44:08.58\00:44:09.91
And I love the father
daughter feel. That's great!
00:44:09.94\00:44:11.51
Now tell me your name.
00:44:11.55\00:44:12.88
Did you ride, sweetie?
00:44:12.91\00:44:14.25
No, but I helped my
Dad, the cook, a lot.
00:44:14.28\00:44:17.79
And my name is Wesley
Shepherd, and I'm from Tryon,
00:44:17.82\00:44:20.32
North Carolina like
those two over there.
00:44:20.36\00:44:22.62
And I really helped.
00:44:22.66\00:44:26.96
After they left I gotta put
up all the stuff in the trailer.
00:44:27.00\00:44:31.33
That's great!
It's a lot of work.
00:44:31.37\00:44:32.97
We always need support staff.
00:44:33.00\00:44:34.44
And food is important
if you're going to ride.
00:44:34.47\00:44:36.20
And what was it
like cooking for them?
00:44:36.24\00:44:38.17
It was a very difficult
job, but it was a very fun job.
00:44:38.21\00:44:41.74
And we ate probably 80% vegan,
and the other 20 was vegetarian.
00:44:41.78\00:44:46.31
So they ate a good meal.
00:44:46.35\00:44:47.98
And my name is Robert
Shepherd, and I'm from
00:44:48.02\00:44:49.85
Tryon, North Carolina.
00:44:49.88\00:44:51.22
And two of my
sons rode this year,
00:44:51.25\00:44:52.85
and we had my other son helping.
00:44:52.89\00:44:55.32
So we had four of us.
00:44:55.36\00:44:56.69
That's great! That's wonderful!
00:44:56.73\00:44:58.29
And last but not least, it's the
one who planned and organized
00:44:58.33\00:45:01.73
the route, and I'm
speaking of Pastor Brian.
00:45:01.76\00:45:03.73
And what church do you pastor?
00:45:03.77\00:45:05.10
I'm at the Charlotte
Sharon Church in North Carolina.
00:45:05.13\00:45:08.34
And tell me where you all
stayed, and what it was like
00:45:08.37\00:45:12.01
planning the route.
00:45:12.04\00:45:13.38
Well, planning the logistics,
as far as our lodging began as
00:45:13.41\00:45:16.38
early as late
February and March.
00:45:16.41\00:45:18.55
I did a lot of e-mailing
and telephone calls to Adventist
00:45:18.58\00:45:22.32
churches, and schools.
00:45:22.35\00:45:23.69
We had a couple of
locations in which we stayed
00:45:23.72\00:45:25.95
in churches and schools of
other faith communities as well.
00:45:25.99\00:45:28.92
Nice! So the kids,
every night you got to stay
00:45:28.96\00:45:31.46
in a different
church: Adventist churches,
00:45:31.49\00:45:33.40
or another faith community.
00:45:33.43\00:45:34.90
And what about showers?
00:45:34.93\00:45:36.46
If the facility had a
shower, we'd use that onsite,
00:45:36.50\00:45:39.23
but if it didn't, we
accessed YMCA's along the way.
00:45:39.27\00:45:42.80
And they were wonderful,
and they opened their doors
00:45:42.84\00:45:44.67
to us, and their hearts as well.
00:45:44.71\00:45:46.04
That's wonderful!
Thank you all for sharing.
00:45:46.07\00:45:48.44
It's an incredible
ministry: Bike For Life.
00:45:48.48\00:45:51.35
I love that. And we also wanted
to share... Did you have a card?
00:45:51.38\00:45:54.32
You were showing me the card.
00:45:54.35\00:45:55.68
You have the card. There's a
card that shared along the way.
00:45:55.72\00:45:59.35
It's an incredible
witnessing opportunity.
00:45:59.39\00:46:01.29
Because people would say,
What are you doing this bike
00:46:01.32\00:46:03.76
ride all the way to Oshkosh?
00:46:03.79\00:46:05.13
And they could share.
00:46:05.16\00:46:06.49
And let's look
at this card here.
00:46:06.53\00:46:07.86
It says, Forever
Faithful to our Bike For Life.
00:46:07.90\00:46:09.90
And inside it gives information
about what they're doing.
00:46:09.93\00:46:13.60
And it has a request
for free Bible studies.
00:46:13.64\00:46:16.27
And it shows about
your tour last year, right?
00:46:16.30\00:46:19.57
It's a picture from last year.
00:46:19.61\00:46:21.31
It shows why we do what we do.
00:46:21.34\00:46:25.25
Why you do what you do,
and then on the very back is
00:46:25.28\00:46:28.42
internet information for
Amazing Facts or Bible info. com
00:46:28.45\00:46:32.29
Carolina Conference.
00:46:32.32\00:46:33.66
And that's wonderful.
00:46:33.69\00:46:35.02
People can get... Not only
are you getting good exercise,
00:46:35.06\00:46:37.36
and building
teamwork, but as well they're
00:46:37.39\00:46:39.53
witnessing and sharing.
00:46:39.56\00:46:41.10
Amen! What a
tremendous story that these
00:46:41.13\00:46:45.07
young people had to say.
00:46:45.10\00:46:47.00
And I tell you, 830
miles on a bicycle...
00:46:47.04\00:46:49.20
For one thing, I don't think
when I arrived at Pathfinders
00:46:49.24\00:46:51.11
I'd be able to stand nor sit.
00:46:51.14\00:46:53.21
That's a long time to be sitting
on a bicycle seat as well.
00:46:53.24\00:46:55.68
But I liked also that
they did a lot of witnessing
00:46:55.71\00:46:59.41
as they went along, too.
00:46:59.45\00:47:01.15
And what a tremendous theme
here t Pathfinder Camporee,
00:47:01.18\00:47:03.85
Forever Faithful, which
is again the story of Daniel,
00:47:03.89\00:47:07.06
and how he stood firm for
Jesus Christ, even though around
00:47:07.09\00:47:09.99
him his circumstances
weren't always the best.
00:47:10.03\00:47:11.99
Now we have some
guests with us, Sweetie.
00:47:12.03\00:47:13.96
Tell us who we have
with us this evening.
00:47:14.00\00:47:15.33
As we transition here, it's
almost Sabbath here at Oshkosh.
00:47:15.36\00:47:18.70
It's almost Sabbath,
almost time for the evening
00:47:18.73\00:47:20.74
main program to begin.
00:47:20.77\00:47:22.14
And we have invited
back Pastor Ron Whitehead.
00:47:22.17\00:47:25.51
He was with us the first night,
and we wanted him to come back.
00:47:25.54\00:47:28.88
I had spoken with him earlier.
00:47:28.91\00:47:30.25
He said, I'm not sure if
I'm going to have a voice.
00:47:30.28\00:47:32.61
But he has a bit of a
voice, and we are glad.
00:47:32.65\00:47:34.62
And we also have Chris Stella,
and we want to share with her
00:47:34.65\00:47:37.52
in a moment as well.
00:47:37.55\00:47:38.89
But Pastor Ron, thank you
for coming back and for sharing.
00:47:38.92\00:47:40.82
Ah exciting to be
back here at 3ABN.
00:47:40.86\00:47:43.09
That's right. Tell me,
what would be your expectation
00:47:43.12\00:47:46.09
for the outcome of
the camp here at Oshkosh?
00:47:46.13\00:47:48.76
Yeah, that's a good question,
insightful question actually.
00:47:48.80\00:47:51.23
The outcome is very important
because if we plan things
00:47:51.27\00:47:53.90
for young people, what
do we expect at the end?
00:47:53.94\00:47:56.00
We're really hoping the theme,
Forever Faithful, and the Bible
00:47:56.04\00:47:59.74
story of the three Hebrews, and
Daniel, it goes deep into the
00:47:59.77\00:48:03.14
lives of young people, so
that when they go back home,
00:48:03.18\00:48:05.31
they're in public education,
wherever, they'll stand for what
00:48:05.35\00:48:08.52
they believe in like the
three Hebrews did. That's right.
00:48:08.55\00:48:11.45
They're willing to risk
everything just to be connected
00:48:11.49\00:48:13.92
to the Jesus, their faith, if
you will, since childhood. Yeah.
00:48:13.96\00:48:18.89
Amen! And part of
that, part of that outcome,
00:48:19.36\00:48:22.66
is we see baptisms.
00:48:22.70\00:48:24.07
We see baptisms
take place at Oshkosh.
00:48:24.10\00:48:26.30
They began Wednesday
night, Thursday night,
00:48:26.33\00:48:28.14
and Friday as
well, right? It's true.
00:48:28.17\00:48:30.11
And we have some footage
of some of those baptisms.
00:48:30.67\00:48:32.57
And we want to look
at some of that footage.
00:48:32.61\00:48:34.68
So tell us what
we're seeing here.
00:48:34.71\00:48:36.75
Oh yeah, there's... Last time
we had over 500 people baptized.
00:48:36.78\00:48:40.08
So we put in four
pools now instead of two.
00:48:40.12\00:48:43.62
And many Pathfinders choose to
be baptized with their uniform,
00:48:43.65\00:48:47.52
because this is what
connects them to Jesus;
00:48:47.56\00:48:50.26
is the Pathfinder
experience, the club... Amen!
00:48:50.29\00:48:53.90
...and the mentors in
the Pathfinder organization
00:48:53.93\00:48:55.83
So, yeah, it's just...
00:48:55.86\00:48:57.67
To see a young person
give their heart to Jesus...
00:48:57.70\00:49:00.64
That's what it's all about.
00:49:00.70\00:49:02.04
I mean that is the
whole purpose of Pathfinders,
00:49:02.07\00:49:03.64
is bringing people to the
foot of the cross. That's true.
00:49:03.67\00:49:05.91
Witnessing to young people,
and having them make that
00:49:05.94\00:49:08.14
decision for Jesus.
00:49:08.18\00:49:09.51
You're so right.
Amen. You're so right.
00:49:09.54\00:49:10.95
So we don't have numbers yet,
obviously, for what took place
00:49:10.98\00:49:14.12
at this camporee,
correct? for baptisms?
00:49:14.15\00:49:15.75
That's correct. We'll
know tomorrow morning,
00:49:15.78\00:49:17.12
after tomorrow morning.
00:49:17.15\00:49:18.49
Amen! It's exciting!
00:49:18.52\00:49:19.85
You see the joy on their faces?
00:49:19.89\00:49:21.22
Ha ha! I love that!
00:49:21.26\00:49:22.59
Isn't it great? I love that.
00:49:22.62\00:49:23.96
That is great. And we have
with us a young woman who was
00:49:23.99\00:49:27.43
baptized, and
that's why we asked her to
00:49:27.46\00:49:30.73
come on here tonight.
00:49:30.77\00:49:32.50
Her name is Chrystal.
00:49:32.53\00:49:33.87
And Chrystal, I apologize,
I don't know how to pronounce
00:49:33.90\00:49:36.60
your last name, so what
is your name? Moisa. Moisa.
00:49:36.64\00:49:40.88
And she comes all the way from
Alberta, Canada, right? Yes.
00:49:40.91\00:49:44.41
And you were baptized.
00:49:44.68\00:49:46.01
We got some footage
of you the first night.
00:49:46.05\00:49:47.78
So tell me why, first of all,
why did you make that decision?
00:49:47.82\00:49:51.42
There you are right
there going into baptism.
00:49:51.45\00:49:52.79
I can see you coming
down into the pool there.
00:49:52.82\00:49:54.16
Why did you make that
decision to be baptized?
00:49:54.19\00:49:57.53
I just thought that it was the
right place, and the right time.
00:49:57.56\00:50:02.76
I just felt ready, and I just
felt like something was telling
00:50:02.80\00:50:07.04
me that it was time for me
to just give my heart to Jesus.
00:50:07.07\00:50:10.17
Amen. Amen! And what a
wonderful place to be baptized
00:50:10.21\00:50:13.34
at Pathfinder Camporee.
00:50:13.38\00:50:14.84
That's a very special moment.
00:50:14.88\00:50:16.68
Now who baptized you?
00:50:16.71\00:50:18.05
Is it someone that you know?
00:50:18.08\00:50:19.41
Yes, Pastor Oscar.
00:50:19.45\00:50:20.78
And is he your
pastor, or conference, or?
00:50:20.82\00:50:23.69
Our youth pastor at our church.
00:50:23.72\00:50:25.65
Ah, that's incredible.
00:50:25.69\00:50:27.69
What a special thing
to be baptized at Oshkosh.
00:50:27.72\00:50:31.03
Yeah, that's incredible.
00:50:31.06\00:50:32.39
Did you have any of your
friends from your club also?
00:50:32.43\00:50:34.46
Yes, several clubs.
00:50:34.50\00:50:35.86
Several clubs got baptized.
00:50:35.90\00:50:38.00
Several members of several
different clubs? Yeah, yeah.
00:50:38.03\00:50:41.17
Amen! That's
just incredible! Amen.
00:50:41.20\00:50:44.54
And how long have you been
in Pathfinders? Five years.
00:50:44.57\00:50:47.18
And you're obviously enjoying
Pathfinders because you're
00:50:47.21\00:50:49.61
still in
Pathfinders, and of course,
00:50:49.64\00:50:51.08
came to Oshkosh Camporee.
00:50:51.11\00:50:52.45
So this would be your
first Camporee experience? Yes.
00:50:52.48\00:50:56.32
Tell me what you
think of Pathfinder Camporee
00:50:56.35\00:50:58.45
here at Oshkosh. Oh, I love it!
00:50:58.49\00:50:59.82
What's one of the
highlights for you?
00:50:59.85\00:51:02.02
All of the activities we get to
do, and the parades and stuff.
00:51:02.06\00:51:06.53
Amen! Yeah. Amen!
00:51:06.56\00:51:08.93
Well, Chrystal, we're so proud
of you for making that decision
00:51:08.96\00:51:11.33
for Jesus. Thank you.
00:51:11.37\00:51:12.70
Because that's the biggest
decision that we will ever make
00:51:12.73\00:51:15.77
is making that
decision for Jesus and choosing,
00:51:15.80\00:51:17.91
Do I want to follow Jesus
because my parents follow Him?
00:51:17.94\00:51:21.61
or do I want to
follow Jesus for myself?
00:51:21.64\00:51:24.45
And that's just an incredible
decision you have made.
00:51:24.48\00:51:26.82
And praise God for that. Amen!
00:51:26.85\00:51:28.98
You probably hear many of
these stories, Pastor Whitehead.
00:51:29.02\00:51:31.35
We do, and what better age
to make a decision for Jesus for
00:51:31.39\00:51:35.59
the rest of your life than when
you are a young person? Amen!
00:51:35.62\00:51:38.29
When everything's so exciting,
your life's before you,
00:51:38.33\00:51:40.90
and by making a commitment
to Him, it allows Him to offer a
00:51:40.93\00:51:46.07
deeper
commitment to you, you know?
00:51:46.10\00:51:47.44
Forever Faithful. As you
are to Him, He is to you.
00:51:47.47\00:51:50.11
He always will
be, of course. Amen!
00:51:50.14\00:51:52.44
I don't know if you know
this, but the Pathfinders,
00:51:52.47\00:51:53.98
when they're baptized, they get
a special pin for their uniform.
00:51:54.01\00:51:57.01
I didn't know that.
00:51:57.05\00:51:58.38
Do you have your pin?
00:51:58.41\00:51:59.75
Yeah, just keep it right there.
00:51:59.78\00:52:01.12
Which one is it?
right on your pocket?
00:52:01.15\00:52:02.48
The one with the Bible? Alright.
00:52:02.52\00:52:04.55
Yes. Ah, very special.
00:52:04.59\00:52:06.15
Very nice. That's nice.
00:52:06.19\00:52:07.52
So it means that
you're basically baptized here
00:52:07.56\00:52:09.72
at Pathfinder Camporee.
00:52:09.76\00:52:11.59
Amen! That's right.
00:52:11.63\00:52:12.96
Well, we have just a
couple of moments left.
00:52:12.99\00:52:14.33
But tell me, Pastor
Ron, Why is Pathfindering
00:52:14.36\00:52:15.70
still relevant today?
00:52:15.73\00:52:17.07
We could say this
started years ago,
00:52:17.10\00:52:18.63
so why is it
still relevant today?
00:52:18.67\00:52:20.77
Fifty years ago. That's right.
00:52:20.80\00:52:22.27
It's still relevant today
because it's cross generational.
00:52:22.30\00:52:25.51
We have old, and
young, and very young.
00:52:25.54\00:52:28.74
And the focus is, of
course, the word of God.
00:52:28.78\00:52:31.81
And so it connects young people
to things beyond the chatter
00:52:31.85\00:52:37.09
of the world and distractions.
00:52:37.12\00:52:39.32
It takes young people
to a deep relationship,
00:52:39.35\00:52:41.56
teaches them outdoor
skills, and Bible knowledge.
00:52:41.59\00:52:43.96
What a great
combination; the two books that
00:52:43.99\00:52:46.63
teach us about God.
00:52:46.66\00:52:48.00
Boy, absolutely! You know, and
that's one of the neat things
00:52:48.03\00:52:50.63
of Pathfinders is
that it also makes an
00:52:50.67\00:52:53.17
impact in your community.
00:52:53.20\00:52:54.87
Is that right? Tell us a
little bit about how Pathfinders
00:52:54.90\00:52:57.34
basically makes an impact in
their not only community here
00:52:57.37\00:53:01.24
at Oshkosh, but their local
church community where they
00:53:01.28\00:53:04.05
are located as well.
00:53:04.08\00:53:05.41
So true, so true! You know,
Pathfinders, they understand
00:53:05.45\00:53:08.08
every day we take 5,000
young people into the community.
00:53:08.12\00:53:10.89
Here at Oshkosh?
Here at Oshkosh we have...
00:53:10.92\00:53:13.02
5,000!... we have... Boy
that's quite a few buses.
00:53:13.05\00:53:14.96
Well, it is a... We have over
85 buses moving young people
00:53:14.99\00:53:18.93
all day into the
community for various reasons.
00:53:18.96\00:53:22.76
But, you know, as you
serve others, you take care of
00:53:22.80\00:53:24.73
yourself, don't
you? That's right.
00:53:24.77\00:53:26.47
And, of course, the
world tries to tell us
00:53:26.50\00:53:28.37
it's all about me, me,
me; what I wear, what I drive,
00:53:28.40\00:53:31.21
what I live in, what I do.
00:53:31.24\00:53:33.07
But in the context of being
a Christian, it's really about
00:53:33.11\00:53:36.44
the Lord pouring through us,
and doing for others, you know.
00:53:36.48\00:53:39.41
Absolutely! Amen! What do you
think about Jesus Christ when He
00:53:39.45\00:53:41.82
was here on this earth?
00:53:41.85\00:53:43.18
You know, that's what He did.
00:53:43.22\00:53:44.55
He went around serving others.
00:53:44.59\00:53:45.92
Have you had the opportunity
of going out and doing any
00:53:45.95\00:53:48.02
community outreach this week?
00:53:48.06\00:53:49.72
Well, we just did it
inside the campground site.
00:53:49.76\00:53:53.16
Fantastic! What did you do?
00:53:53.19\00:53:54.70
We filled up some buckets.
00:53:54.73\00:53:56.90
You filled up some
buckets? Yeah. With what?
00:53:56.93\00:53:59.67
Sponges, cleaning stuff.
00:53:59.70\00:54:03.14
They're called flood
buckets, flood buckets.
00:54:03.17\00:54:05.97
To help people that
are compromised by storms.
00:54:06.01\00:54:08.74
Okay, so these are prepared
in advance, so when there is a
00:54:08.78\00:54:11.51
storm or something...
00:54:11.55\00:54:12.88
Like a Disaster Relief. Yeah.
00:54:12.91\00:54:14.25
Then they're ready to go.
00:54:14.28\00:54:15.62
Well, that's a lot of fun.
00:54:15.65\00:54:16.99
Amen. Well, I know
Sabbath is coming shortly,
00:54:17.02\00:54:18.75
and our time is almost done.
00:54:18.79\00:54:20.69
Let's have a prayer, a
special prayer for Chrystal,
00:54:20.72\00:54:23.09
and just for the
opening of the Sabbath.
00:54:23.12\00:54:24.76
Do you want to pray, Sweetie?
00:54:24.79\00:54:26.13
Sure. Father in heaven, what
a privilege it is to come to You
00:54:26.16\00:54:29.46
as the Sabbath
hours come upon us.
00:54:29.50\00:54:31.23
Father it's a privilege
to have been here at Oshkosh.
00:54:31.27\00:54:33.94
And Lord as we have the
Sabbath services tomorrow,
00:54:33.97\00:54:36.64
we just pray for a special
blessing upon the Camporee,
00:54:36.67\00:54:39.34
Lord that Your
Spirit would be here.
00:54:39.37\00:54:41.04
Lord we pray for all the young
people who have been baptized,
00:54:41.08\00:54:44.25
Father, and
Shashell here as well.
00:54:44.28\00:54:45.88
That You would continue to bless
her life, and give her strength.
00:54:45.91\00:54:48.58
And Lord thank You
for the decision that she
00:54:48.62\00:54:51.25
has made to follow You.
00:54:51.29\00:54:52.82
Lord continue to bless her life.
00:54:52.85\00:54:54.19
In Jesus' name
we pray, Amen. Amen.
00:54:54.22\00:54:57.36
Well, thank you so much
for coming and for sharing
00:54:57.39\00:55:00.06
with our 3ABN family.
00:55:00.10\00:55:01.43
And God's blessings, Pastor
Ron in your work and ministry,
00:55:01.46\00:55:04.27
and Chrystal on
your new life in Jesus.
00:55:04.30\00:55:07.10
That's right. Thank you.
00:55:07.14\00:55:08.47
You know, as we're winding
down here to our last few
00:55:08.50\00:55:10.81
seconds of our 3ABN Night
Light, we wanted to end this
00:55:10.84\00:55:16.34
program with just a, basically
a minute or so of what we call
00:55:16.38\00:55:19.51
the Week in Review; basically
showing some of the activities
00:55:19.55\00:55:22.62
that happened here at Oshkosh.
00:55:22.65\00:55:24.62
And we also want to say a Happy
Sabbath to each one of you.
00:55:24.65\00:55:29.12
And may God's richest blessings
be upon you and your family.
00:55:29.16\00:55:32.79
Thank you again for
your prayers and support for
00:55:32.83\00:55:34.80
the ministry of 3ABN.
00:55:34.83\00:55:36.50
God bless you! Happy Sabbath!
00:55:36.53\00:55:38.07
Enjoy the close
here of Night Light.
00:55:38.10\00:55:40.64
Where are you from? San Diego.
00:55:45.44\00:55:47.91
San Diego, California.
00:55:47.94\00:55:49.81
People are here
from all over the world.
00:55:49.84\00:55:52.88
You're going to have a
good time, aren't you? Yes!
00:55:52.91\00:55:55.98
Happy Birthday! Yeah!
00:56:18.87\00:56:23.71
Water, water,
water, water, water!
00:57:23.84\00:57:26.44
