Lord Jesus we
thank you so much for the
00:01:00.62\00:01:02.46
beauty of another day.
00:01:02.47\00:01:03.64
We thank you Lord
that even on the eve
00:01:04.58\00:01:06.57
of the Sabbath we
can all gather here
00:01:06.58\00:01:08.37
and ponder the hope that we have
00:01:09.09\00:01:11.07
in your second coming.
00:01:11.08\00:01:12.05
We acknowledge
your presence with us
00:01:12.83\00:01:15.17
and ask that your
Holy Spirit will touch
00:01:15.87\00:01:17.81
each heart and each
mind so that we will be able
00:01:18.15\00:01:21.07
to absorb all that
we hear and be changed
00:01:21.08\00:01:24.42
to be better witnesses for you,
00:01:24.43\00:01:26.16
and to have a
deeper relationship
00:01:26.72\00:01:28.50
with Jesus Christ.
Thank you in Jesus name,
00:01:28.51\00:01:31.84
Amen. You may be seated.
00:01:32.44\00:01:34.42
Well at this time,
we would like to welcome
00:01:37.35\00:01:41.58
Harold Lance to
the podium with me.
00:01:41.59\00:01:43.60
And you remember that
each night we have been
00:01:44.01\00:01:47.05
just taking a walk back
and looking at some of the
00:01:47.06\00:01:49.62
humble beginnings
of ASI and we thought
00:01:49.63\00:01:52.32
that we would
talk to a couple people
00:01:52.33\00:01:53.87
that have been
around for a while.
00:01:53.88\00:01:55.15
I understand that
Harold Lance has been
00:01:55.71\00:01:57.68
a member of ASI for 32 years.
00:01:57.69\00:01:59.89
And Harold I'd
like your perspective on
00:02:00.38\00:02:02.30
what things are different from
00:02:02.31\00:02:04.15
when you first a part
of ASI. Probably tonight
00:02:04.16\00:02:07.20
is the easiest comparison
we have probably a 150
00:02:07.21\00:02:12.25
young people here. In
the old days we didn't have
00:02:12.26\00:02:15.90
the young people
here. As a matter of fact
00:02:15.91\00:02:18.71
our conventions were
scheduled for October
00:02:18.72\00:02:22.00
when they were in
school they couldn't be here.
00:02:22.01\00:02:24.23
So that's a
difference. Well, that's pretty
00:02:24.84\00:02:27.22
remarkable because
we can hardly think of
00:02:27.23\00:02:29.12
ASI without our young people.
00:02:29.13\00:02:31.66
That's true. There
were some other differences
00:02:32.06\00:02:34.13
will have I
think over 2000 people
00:02:34.74\00:02:38.37
for lunch tomorrow.
In the old days we had
00:02:38.38\00:02:42.94
a 150 to 200, and then
often after the convention
00:02:42.95\00:02:48.78
was over we
scheduled a kind of a vacation
00:02:48.79\00:02:53.32
trip to go to see
mission places around the world
00:02:53.33\00:02:57.36
and it involved
many of the group.
00:02:57.99\00:03:01.22
May be a fourth
of them would go on
00:03:01.23\00:03:02.95
the mission
trip. We can't take you
00:03:02.96\00:03:04.88
all that way now.
00:03:04.89\00:03:05.86
Is there anything
else that's different
00:03:08.63\00:03:10.32
that strikes you?
Well, I don't think the
00:03:10.33\00:03:14.99
differences between
now and then they are
00:03:15.00\00:03:17.64
significant as the similarities.
00:03:17.65\00:03:19.57
The similarities I
believe are the powerful things
00:03:20.84\00:03:24.22
about ASI, we
still have that hope.
00:03:24.23\00:03:27.51
We still sing like we mean it.
00:03:28.79\00:03:30.56
We still have a
belief in the Bible
00:03:31.45\00:03:33.36
and the spirit of prophecies
00:03:33.37\00:03:34.43
are guiding light.
We have a corporation
00:03:34.64\00:03:37.77
with the
leadership of the church
00:03:37.78\00:03:39.17
and we covet that relationship
00:03:39.18\00:03:40.84
and we have the hope
of Jesus soon coming.
00:03:41.61\00:03:44.01
Well, that's a
pretty powerful reflection
00:03:44.92\00:03:47.23
and I want to thank you Harold
00:03:47.24\00:03:48.27
for taking it
back for us. Thank you.
00:03:48.28\00:03:50.94
Just a minute Debbie,
wait Debbie, hello Debbie.
00:04:00.90\00:04:06.07
Hello ASI family. I
don't want Debbie to leave yet,
00:04:07.26\00:04:11.14

family out there Debbie,
00:04:12.29\00:04:14.59

wonderful crowd that we have
00:04:15.53\00:04:17.88
here this year? Tremendous yes!
00:04:17.89\00:04:20.12
We know Debbie has
been serving our ASI family
00:04:20.58\00:04:23.43
for the last four years
and it's been a privilege
00:04:23.44\00:04:26.72
to be Debbie's
friend. And we as a family
00:04:26.73\00:04:30.97
wanted to say
thank you to Debbie
00:04:30.98\00:04:33.47
for serving our family.
00:04:33.48\00:04:36.03
And we have
flowers for you that's
00:04:36.63\00:04:39.06
pretty obvious

00:04:39.07\00:04:41.18
just like you are
Debbie. Thank you Donna,
00:04:41.62\00:04:43.70

outside and in the inside.
00:04:43.71\00:04:45.73
And then in this
gift here there is a globe
00:04:46.43\00:04:50.14
of the world
because you have been using
00:04:50.15\00:04:53.12
as your theme tell
the world, tell them now.
00:04:53.13\00:04:56.80
And we
appreciate everything that
00:04:57.51\00:05:00.54
that you have
done for ASI to spread
00:05:00.55\00:05:03.80
the gospel around the world.
00:05:03.81\00:05:05.49
Thank you Debbie
for everything that
00:05:06.10\00:05:08.51
you have done, we
love you and we know
00:05:08.52\00:05:10.90

You welcome.
Donna thank you so much,
00:05:21.40\00:05:26.70
and I am looking
forward to supporting you
00:05:27.33\00:05:29.28
as you pickup the helm
and keep moving ASI forward.
00:05:29.29\00:05:32.67
Thank you. Thank you.
00:05:32.68\00:05:33.65
Good evening. Good evening.
00:05:45.34\00:05:47.23
Here at ASI we
take our young people
00:05:47.72\00:05:51.06
very seriously;
our dedicated leaders
00:05:51.07\00:05:55.17
have worked hard
to provide interesting
00:05:55.18\00:05:58.26
and uplifting program for our
00:05:58.67\00:06:00.56
ASI children and
youth. The primary purpose
00:06:00.57\00:06:04.95
of our programs
is not to entertain
00:06:04.96\00:06:07.55
but to train our young people.
00:06:08.10\00:06:10.48
Our leaders have arranged many
00:06:11.71\00:06:13.64
inspirational speakers,
we have mission reports,
00:06:13.65\00:06:17.54
uplifting music, we have crafts
00:06:17.99\00:06:20.58
and we also provide
opportunities to get our
00:06:20.94\00:06:24.30
young people involved in service
00:06:24.31\00:06:26.50
and outreach
projects right here at ASI.
00:06:26.51\00:06:29.74
This evening I would
like you to meet some very
00:06:30.99\00:06:33.68
dedicated leaders
from our youth departments
00:06:33.69\00:06:36.11
who will be sharing
some of the highlights
00:06:36.12\00:06:38.58
from their classes,
and I want to recognize
00:06:38.59\00:06:41.63
all of the work,
all of the prayer
00:06:41.64\00:06:44.29
and all of the
hours that our leaders
00:06:44.30\00:06:47.15
have spent
planning and preparing these
00:06:47.16\00:06:50.02
inspirational
meanings for our young people.
00:06:50.03\00:06:52.45
Good evening. We have
the kindergarten class here
00:06:58.19\00:07:01.83
and our theme this
year was Missionaries Now,
00:07:02.34\00:07:05.70
Jesus fills my cup.
And instead of me sharing
00:07:06.19\00:07:09.81
what we have done I
am gonna let the children
00:07:09.82\00:07:12.04
share because we
share what we receive.
00:07:12.39\00:07:14.92
Okay children our
missionary is called
00:07:16.82\00:07:20.15
to spread what? The Gospel!
00:07:20.16\00:07:23.62
The Gospel, right!
What is the gospel?
00:07:23.63\00:07:27.41
The power to choose Jesus!
00:07:27.97\00:07:31.02
The power to choose Jesus, good!
00:07:31.43\00:07:33.78
And where do we get our fuel?
00:07:34.15\00:07:37.99
Anything,
everywhere we receive from
00:07:38.20\00:07:42.82
the mouth of God. Very good,
00:07:42.83\00:07:46.12
but we first need to see
our need, don't we? Okay.
00:07:46.51\00:07:50.21
I see you dear oh my Lord,
00:08:00.25\00:08:04.41
I give you my soul.
00:08:04.83\00:08:09.08
Let's sing for Him
and believe in Him,
00:08:09.59\00:08:14.28
I am waiting for the
day when He will come,
00:08:14.97\00:08:19.81
someone is waiting
for the Lord before.
00:08:20.77\00:08:26.68
Very good, now
to be a missionary
00:08:27.49\00:08:30.32
how old do we have to be?
00:08:30.33\00:08:32.33
Any age, any age right.
00:08:32.34\00:08:36.43
And who do we have to know?
00:08:36.79\00:08:39.62
God, Jesus, Jesus right.
00:08:40.79\00:08:44.50
What will he do
for us, fill our mind,
00:08:44.94\00:08:48.50
hearts with what? Fill
our mind hearts with love.
00:08:48.51\00:08:53.85
Right, with love. And
what should we do with
00:08:53.86\00:08:58.08
what we have with this love,
00:08:58.09\00:08:59.81
should we share what we receive?
00:09:00.29\00:09:03.02
Yes, yes oh we want to share.
00:09:03.03\00:09:05.49
And when do we start?
00:09:05.50\00:09:06.50
Now, now okay.
Where is our mind, heart?
00:09:07.44\00:09:12.74
Jesus come into my heart,
00:09:15.77\00:09:19.06
into my heart and above,
00:09:19.47\00:09:23.34
And bless his little children
00:09:23.82\00:09:27.71
and our Lord is sweet.
00:09:27.72\00:09:30.98
Sweet Lord, Sweet Lord,
00:09:31.41\00:09:34.90
trying to follow your steps,
00:09:35.79\00:09:39.38
give him your heart
and he will take your hand.
00:09:39.80\00:09:46.77
Forgive dear Lord all our sins
00:09:48.08\00:09:51.44
and shall every single be,
00:09:51.83\00:09:55.61
You come and give your heart
00:09:56.06\00:09:59.49
and Jesus take my heart.
00:09:59.89\00:10:03.20
Sweet Lord, sweet Lord
00:10:03.64\00:10:07.04
trying to follow your steps,
00:10:07.62\00:10:10.82
and give him your heart
and he will take your hand.
00:10:11.57\00:10:19.01
Thank you, we will
go right this side.
00:10:20.28\00:10:23.50
You know it's been
a real blessing work
00:10:43.62\00:10:45.00
in the primary
department this year.
00:10:45.01\00:10:46.70
And our theme has
been called to prepare
00:10:46.71\00:10:49.80
God's people. And
we have been studying
00:10:49.81\00:10:52.86
the life of Joseph,
how God has called Joseph
00:10:52.87\00:10:55.45
at a young age
to do almighty work
00:10:55.46\00:10:58.74
and save the
lives of many people.
00:10:58.75\00:11:00.25
You know God
extends that call to us,
00:11:00.66\00:11:03.13
to reach out in this
dying world to help prepare
00:11:03.14\00:11:05.82
others for Jesus soon return.
00:11:05.83\00:11:07.23
ASI is all about
service and our primary
00:11:08.97\00:11:11.21
department has
adopted a service program.
00:11:11.67\00:11:14.16
We have adopted
It's My Very Own,
00:11:14.84\00:11:18.04
and what they do,
they make bags of love.
00:11:18.05\00:11:20.31
And they give these
bags of love to children
00:11:20.77\00:11:24.17
who taken them from their homes
00:11:24.18\00:11:25.79
and put in the foster care.
00:11:26.13\00:11:27.25
And Caleb can you
tell me some of the things
00:11:28.04\00:11:30.43
that we put in
these bags of love.
00:11:30.44\00:11:32.06
Well for example crayons,
00:11:32.49\00:11:34.53
stuffed animals, shampoo, soap
00:11:34.54\00:11:36.90
and though they
are just a few of them.
00:11:37.48\00:11:39.13
Just a few now more, right.
00:11:39.50\00:11:41.29
And Nichole is there some that
00:11:41.78\00:11:43.65
you brought from home.
00:11:43.66\00:11:44.63
I brought quilts
for the foster kids.
00:11:45.82\00:11:49.42
Quilts for the foster
kids! You know it gave me
00:11:49.99\00:11:51.72
great joy and please to
see that the primary class
00:11:51.73\00:11:54.99
and their parents
with enthusiasm bring
00:11:55.00\00:11:56.87
all these gifts
and stuffs to put
00:11:56.88\00:11:58.72
in these bags of
love. And at this time
00:11:58.73\00:12:00.81
they would like to
sing our theme song.
00:12:00.82\00:12:03.11
Hark! the voice
of Jesus calling,
00:12:14.79\00:12:19.45
"Who will go and work today?
00:12:19.46\00:12:23.68
Fields are white,
the harvest waiting,
00:12:24.30\00:12:28.99
Who will bear the sheaves away?"
00:12:29.00\00:12:33.70
Loud and long
the Master calleth,
00:12:34.11\00:12:38.59
Let his work your pleasure be.
00:12:38.96\00:12:43.57
Answer quickly when he calleth,
00:12:43.58\00:12:48.62
"Here am I. O Lord, send me!"
00:12:48.63\00:12:53.49
If you cannot cross the ocean
00:12:54.31\00:12:58.80
And the heathen lands explore,
00:12:58.81\00:13:03.26
You can help them at your door;
00:13:09.29\00:13:12.56
Loud and long
the Master calleth,
00:13:13.12\00:13:17.44
Let his work your pleasure be.
00:13:17.78\00:13:21.77
Answer quickly when he calleth,
00:13:22.57\00:13:27.03
"Here am I. O Lord, send me!"
00:13:27.04\00:13:31.35
While the souls
of men are dying,
00:13:32.56\00:13:37.11
And the Master calls for you,
00:13:37.12\00:13:41.37
Let none hear you idly saying,
00:13:41.90\00:13:46.42
"There is nothing I can do!"
00:13:46.73\00:13:50.84
Loud and long
the Master calleth,
00:13:51.59\00:13:56.12
Let his work your pleasure be.
00:13:56.13\00:14:00.25
Answer quickly when he calleth,
00:14:00.98\00:14:05.65
"Here am I. O Lord, send me!"
00:14:05.66\00:14:10.38
"Here am I. O Lord, send me!"
00:14:10.84\00:14:16.04
Hi my name is Ted Evert.
00:14:34.41\00:14:35.89
I have been the
Junior Leader for
00:14:35.90\00:14:37.28
the 10 to 12 year olds
and I have been spending
00:14:37.29\00:14:41.06
a lot of time with
your 10 to 12 year olds
00:14:41.07\00:14:44.25
the last few days. But
I have to say it's been
00:14:44.63\00:14:46.91
a total pleasure, and
I really want to thank
00:14:46.92\00:14:49.57
each of you as
parents and guardians
00:14:49.58\00:14:51.62
for raising up
such an incredible
00:14:52.07\00:14:53.86
army of young people.
And I really accounted
00:14:53.87\00:14:57.12
a privilege to have
been able to be a part of it.
00:14:57.13\00:14:59.69
Nichole has been
my assistant leader
00:15:00.13\00:15:02.10
and she is going to talk
about the mission project
00:15:02.11\00:15:04.08
that we have been working on.
00:15:04.09\00:15:05.19
Good evening, it has
been a true blessing to work
00:15:07.03\00:15:11.30
with your children
and to see their hard work
00:15:11.31\00:15:14.52
that they have put
into our mission project.
00:15:14.53\00:15:16.91
And we are
actually putting together
00:15:17.37\00:15:19.65
some care packages
for the orphans in Kenya
00:15:19.66\00:15:24.09
with East African missions.
00:15:24.51\00:15:26.48
And these boxes
are actually shoe boxes
00:15:26.88\00:15:30.58
and there are
going to the orphans.
00:15:30.59\00:15:34.10
And they are
currently 99 orphans there in
00:15:34.62\00:15:38.26
East African mission orphanage
00:15:38.27\00:15:40.12
and each child will be
receiving their own box
00:15:40.58\00:15:43.92
with certain items in them.
00:15:43.93\00:15:45.77
And we wanted to fill
these boxes with things
00:15:46.27\00:15:49.46
that would inspire the
children and be a blessing
00:15:49.47\00:15:53.37
to them physically,
mentally and spiritually.
00:15:53.38\00:15:56.47
And I actually have
some assistants here;
00:15:56.90\00:15:59.37
they are going to
show you some of the items
00:15:59.76\00:16:02.34
that are going into our boxes.
00:16:02.35\00:16:04.32
These aren't all of
them but these are some
00:16:04.33\00:16:06.86
of the items
that we are including.
00:16:06.87\00:16:08.58
Each orphan will
be receiving some
00:16:09.25\00:16:12.59
hygiene items, some toothbrush,
00:16:12.60\00:16:16.00
toothpaste and a comb,
00:16:16.55\00:16:18.96
as well as some other things.
00:16:19.62\00:16:20.93
And some fun
items like a teddy bear
00:16:21.87\00:16:24.49
and little bags that
the children decorated
00:16:24.93\00:16:28.00
and also our steps to Christ
00:16:28.87\00:16:31.68
and some
character building stories
00:16:32.07\00:16:34.47
that are just a
little pamphlet and we know
00:16:34.48\00:16:37.85
that God is going
to tremendously bless
00:16:37.86\00:16:40.24
these boxes as they
go over to the orphans.
00:16:40.25\00:16:42.70
And the children
have made or donated
00:16:43.23\00:16:47.60
all of the items that
are going in these boxes
00:16:47.61\00:16:49.99
and they are actually
currently trying to get
00:16:50.00\00:16:54.85
donations for the, for
the shipping of these boxes
00:16:54.86\00:17:00.46
and they are
doing a wonderful job,
00:17:00.47\00:17:01.78
and they are well
on that way to our goal
00:17:02.21\00:17:06.92
for the shipping
cost. And I know that God is
00:17:06.93\00:17:10.82
going to tremendously
bless the orphans as well as
00:17:10.83\00:17:13.66
the children that have
put these boxes together.
00:17:13.73\00:17:15.73
Well our theme has
been soldiers for truth,
00:17:17.86\00:17:20.88
and may be the,
they seem kind of young
00:17:21.55\00:17:23.91
to already be soldiers
but yet they are soldiers
00:17:23.92\00:17:26.94
in the army of
Christ, isn't that true.
00:17:26.95\00:17:29.38
And so to finish off our program
00:17:29.74\00:17:32.79
we are going to sing
Onward Christian Soldiers.
00:17:32.80\00:17:35.55
Onward, Christian
soldiers, marching as to war,
00:17:45.43\00:17:53.85
With the cross of
Jesus going on before.
00:17:53.86\00:18:02.16
Christ, the royal
Master, leads against the foe;
00:18:02.59\00:18:09.67
Forward into
battle see His banners go!
00:18:11.03\00:18:18.10
Onward, Christian
soldiers, marching as to war,
00:18:19.46\00:18:26.32
With the cross of
Jesus going on before.
00:18:27.50\00:18:36.00
Happy Sabbath Day
ASI. Maria, Lotte, Kemp
00:18:47.17\00:18:50.36
and I have had the opportunity
00:18:50.37\00:18:51.84
and the
privilege of working with
00:18:51.85\00:18:53.43
your early teens.
Our theme this year
00:18:53.44\00:18:56.17
has been
transformed by His loving hand
00:18:56.18\00:18:58.91
and our goal has
been to show your early
00:18:58.92\00:19:01.14
teens how God through His love
00:19:01.15\00:19:03.86
can transform their
lives. In the evening
00:19:04.28\00:19:07.50
we have been
listening to J. Rosario share
00:19:07.51\00:19:10.00
messages about how
God has transformed
00:19:11.12\00:19:13.21
the lives of people in
the New and Old Testament.
00:19:13.22\00:19:17.47
Taken them from
where they were which was
00:19:17.48\00:19:19.47
a life of nothing to a
life that is truly making
00:19:19.48\00:19:23.28
a difference in the world
00:19:23.29\00:19:24.26
and turning the
world upside down.
00:19:24.27\00:19:25.62
Joe, I brought up
some of the early teens up
00:19:26.07\00:19:29.53
with me and Joe has something
00:19:29.54\00:19:30.94
he wants to share
that he learned during
00:19:30.95\00:19:32.95
J. Rosario's speech,
Joe. Well we've been learning
00:19:32.96\00:19:36.50
about ugly Mary
Magdalene how she was changed
00:19:36.51\00:19:40.62
from being a
street person and a harlot
00:19:40.63\00:19:46.69
to being a beautiful
girl And how was she changed?
00:19:46.70\00:19:49.97
By God's grace.
And how does that apply
00:19:51.48\00:19:53.45
to your own life? I
think that each one of us
00:19:53.46\00:19:56.88
should we as people
are ugly caterpillars
00:19:57.34\00:20:01.12
but by God's grace we can become
00:20:01.13\00:20:03.44
beautiful butterflies.
And that's we want our young
00:20:03.79\00:20:06.39
people to see that.
Well, we may have a life
00:20:06.40\00:20:09.00
that feels empty, if
we will submit to the
00:20:09.01\00:20:10.93
love of God that
will become changed
00:20:10.94\00:20:13.80
in beautiful men
and women for God.
00:20:13.81\00:20:16.52
On Thursday we also
wanted our young people
00:20:17.47\00:20:20.35
to see that the Bible
they believe in is true
00:20:20.36\00:20:23.65
and scientifically
founded on that they don't have
00:20:24.11\00:20:26.25
to be embarrassed
about their faith.
00:20:26.26\00:20:28.07
So, on Thursday
we took them to the
00:20:28.50\00:20:30.20
Creation Museum which
is about two hour drive.
00:20:30.21\00:20:32.69
And when we are at
the Creation Museum
00:20:32.70\00:20:34.58
they saw that the
Bible is scientifically
00:20:34.59\00:20:38.67
the most valid
solution, the most valid
00:20:38.68\00:20:42.15
explanation for why,
for why we exist today.
00:20:42.69\00:20:48.51
And while we
were there Lisa Murray
00:20:48.52\00:20:51.32
there was an
exhibit that you really
00:20:51.33\00:20:52.71
enjoyed men in
white, tell us about it.
00:20:52.72\00:20:54.55
Well I really enjoyed
the show but my favorite
00:20:55.02\00:20:57.87
part was when they
showed us Noah's Ark
00:20:57.88\00:21:00.95
and during the
whole thing they splashed
00:21:00.96\00:21:02.89
water on our faces
which is really fun.
00:21:02.90\00:21:05.20
Yes, what is with the
splashing on your face
00:21:05.96\00:21:07.36
but what did you leave with?
00:21:07.37\00:21:08.39
Well I learned
the creation is real
00:21:08.87\00:21:12.83
and there aren't
really are scientific
00:21:12.84\00:21:14.21
facts to prove it.
Amen, so we went through
00:21:14.22\00:21:18.67
the Creation
Museum, we went through
00:21:18.68\00:21:20.34
the exhibits
and then at the very
00:21:20.35\00:21:21.88
end Haley there
was an exhibit that
00:21:21.89\00:21:24.08
you really
enjoyed, what was that?
00:21:24.09\00:21:25.67
There was a
planetarium it was like where
00:21:26.09\00:21:28.39
the seats go back and we
look up like at the ceiling
00:21:28.76\00:21:31.56
and all these stars are there.
00:21:32.18\00:21:34.57
And we are like
this tiny little earth
00:21:34.58\00:21:37.10
and God created it
so small yet he cares
00:21:37.11\00:21:39.76
about us so
much. And all the other
00:21:39.77\00:21:42.26
planets are like
almost all bigger then ours
00:21:42.27\00:21:45.03
yet he cares about
this tiny little earth
00:21:45.31\00:21:47.63
and all these
tiny little people.
00:21:47.64\00:21:49.31
Wow, isn't that amazing?
00:21:50.20\00:21:51.43
I remember when I
was there as well.
00:21:51.44\00:21:52.89
You look at this they
take you from our little
00:21:52.90\00:21:55.50
tiny earth and
they zoom way, way, way,
00:21:55.51\00:21:57.07
way out all the way out
into the entire universe
00:21:57.08\00:21:58.96
and you are
looking at the universe.
00:21:58.97\00:22:00.12
You cannot even see
where our little planet
00:22:00.57\00:22:04.65
is and yet God
sacrifice his entire life that
00:22:04.66\00:22:07.99
we might have eternal life.
00:22:08.00\00:22:09.07
And that is what we
wanted our young people
00:22:09.46\00:22:11.01
to see that God loves them
00:22:11.02\00:22:12.41
and as they see this
they will be transformed.
00:22:12.42\00:22:15.45
But it goes beyond
scene that God loves you.
00:22:15.46\00:22:17.62
We want them to share
that love with others.
00:22:17.98\00:22:20.01
And so this afternoon we went
00:22:20.02\00:22:21.90
and did an outreach
of sharing God's love
00:22:21.91\00:22:23.93
with the community around us.
00:22:24.30\00:22:25.74
Jennifer you had
an amazing experience
00:22:26.19\00:22:28.61
while we were doing
that. Tell us about that?
00:22:28.62\00:22:29.86
Well me and my
friend we decided,
00:22:30.40\00:22:34.34
we wanted to go
over to this one girl
00:22:34.90\00:22:36.95
that was impressed
to talk to and I decide
00:22:36.96\00:22:40.58
I was going to give
her and sing the song
00:22:40.59\00:22:42.84
God is love. And
as I go over to her
00:22:42.85\00:22:46.55
and say here you
want this Jesus loves you
00:22:46.56\00:22:48.65
and she gets so
excited just like Oh!
00:22:48.97\00:22:50.95
I am so excited. I do
not know Jesus loves me.
00:22:50.96\00:22:54.57
So it's very cool.
Imagine there are people
00:22:55.41\00:22:57.95
around here that
didn't know Jesus loves them
00:22:57.96\00:23:00.03
and yet our early
teens went out there
00:23:00.04\00:23:02.59
and shared the love of
God and there is someone
00:23:02.60\00:23:04.70
that now knows that
Jesus loves them, amen.
00:23:04.71\00:23:07.79
We have enjoyed
working with them,
00:23:08.14\00:23:09.59
we have one of our early team
00:23:09.60\00:23:11.10
and we will
continue enjoying them
00:23:11.63\00:23:13.69
through this
weekend. Thank you very much.
00:23:13.70\00:23:15.65
Good evening,
my name is Rob Neil
00:23:23.93\00:23:26.00
and I have been working with the
00:23:26.01\00:23:27.11
youth department here at ASI.
00:23:27.60\00:23:29.18
And it's always a joy
to be here and experience
00:23:29.69\00:23:33.14
the enthusiasm that
young people have to love
00:23:33.15\00:23:35.86
and serve their Lord.
00:23:35.87\00:23:36.84
This is the 16 to 18 years old
00:23:37.04\00:23:38.74
and I have two of
our youth with me here
00:23:38.75\00:23:41.41
Jimmy Glaser and Crystal Case.
00:23:43.60\00:23:48.50
I knew I was going to do this,
00:23:48.51\00:23:49.48
Crystal Case, Crystal Case.
00:23:49.91\00:23:51.34
And we have
enjoyed working together
00:23:52.07\00:23:55.30
and Crystal what has
been the theme of our program
00:23:55.97\00:23:59.59
here at ASI this year
in the youth department.
00:23:59.60\00:24:01.39
It's one life to
live, one life to live.
00:24:01.85\00:24:04.41
What does that
mean in practical terms,
00:24:04.42\00:24:06.04
what are we learned
about one life to live?
00:24:06.05\00:24:07.97
Well virtually to sum
it out is just you know
00:24:08.49\00:24:11.25
we have, you know such
a short time on this earth
00:24:11.26\00:24:13.86
and you know we
only have this one life
00:24:13.87\00:24:16.09
and we want to do
whatever we can to do
00:24:16.10\00:24:18.42
in Jesus service you know.
00:24:18.43\00:24:19.56
Do whatever we
can for him in this
00:24:19.57\00:24:21.35
one life service. One
life to live and making it
00:24:21.36\00:24:25.32
count for God and for eternity.
00:24:25.33\00:24:27.87
Jimmy what part of the
programming has impacted
00:24:28.30\00:24:31.97
your life or may be was
a special blessing to you.
00:24:31.98\00:24:34.05
Well one of my
favorite talks we had was from
00:24:34.90\00:24:37.89
Dr. Samuel Pipim and he
talked about living life
00:24:37.90\00:24:41.64
as in excellence and
that was a really great
00:24:41.65\00:24:44.25
message that we
receive from him.
00:24:44.26\00:24:45.67
I believe it was last night so,
00:24:46.73\00:24:49.08
had various
speakers coming in speaking
00:24:49.59\00:24:52.23
Jay Rosario, our
morning devotional speakers,
00:24:52.24\00:24:54.84
also testimony
sharing witnessing experiences
00:24:55.23\00:24:59.46
and conversion experiences
in our youth department.
00:24:59.86\00:25:02.25
But you know one of
the best ways of helping
00:25:02.61\00:25:04.85
young people catch a
vision of making their life
00:25:04.86\00:25:07.22
matter for God is to get
them involved in service.
00:25:07.23\00:25:09.72
And so we on
Thursday 81 ASI youth had the
00:25:10.12\00:25:14.42
opportunity of
loading up on buses
00:25:14.43\00:25:16.70
and going to eight
different service projects
00:25:16.71\00:25:19.04
in the Downtown
Louisville area and making
00:25:19.05\00:25:22.58
a difference in the
lives of disadvantaged
00:25:22.59\00:25:24.54
people here in Louisville.
00:25:24.55\00:25:26.67
Crystal what
eight different service
00:25:27.33\00:25:30.09
projects did you have
the opportunity to chose
00:25:30.10\00:25:32.48
from this year? Okay,
well we had quite a few,
00:25:32.49\00:25:35.59
we had five with
habitat for humanity
00:25:35.60\00:25:38.67
and two of them
were women only like
00:25:39.32\00:25:41.86
constructions sites.
They are building new houses.
00:25:41.87\00:25:44.04
And then two were just
general construction sites
00:25:44.46\00:25:47.15
where anyone that want to go.
00:25:47.16\00:25:48.20
And then we had one
it was like building
00:25:48.59\00:25:50.58
foundations for new houses.
00:25:50.59\00:25:51.93
And then wayside ministries for,
00:25:52.49\00:25:56.84
Wayside was it,
Wayside Christian Ministries,
00:25:57.26\00:25:59.77
always forget that. But,
yeah they had three areas
00:25:59.78\00:26:04.72
that you could work
in; one was working there
00:26:04.73\00:26:08.00
helping paint a
day room at the men's
00:26:08.01\00:26:11.91
homeless center. And
there was a daycare center
00:26:11.92\00:26:15.44
for helping the homeless people
00:26:15.45\00:26:17.66
watch the kids and stuff.
00:26:17.67\00:26:18.64
And then they had
the bicycle repair.
00:26:19.05\00:26:21.48
Jimmy is homelessness
a very large problem
00:26:22.91\00:26:26.19
here in Downtown Louisville?
00:26:26.71\00:26:28.48
Well like any large
city homelessness is getting
00:26:28.94\00:26:33.49
to be a very
large epidemic and there
00:26:33.50\00:26:37.05
is a stat that
says that Louisville
00:26:37.06\00:26:39.04
has about a
11,000 homeless people
00:26:39.05\00:26:41.66
on the streets.
So hopefully we made
00:26:41.67\00:26:44.36
a difference in
our community service
00:26:44.37\00:26:46.09
outreach. Working
with the homeless people
00:26:46.10\00:26:48.48
and its amazing a
11,000 people they estimate
00:26:48.94\00:26:52.07
in the Louisville
area. And so you had the
00:26:52.08\00:26:55.31
opportunity of learning
about the plight of many
00:26:55.32\00:26:57.11
of these people and helping out.
00:26:57.12\00:26:58.97
Now which project,
which particular project
00:26:58.98\00:27:01.31
did you chose to be involved in?
00:27:01.32\00:27:02.54
Well at the
Wayside Mission they had
00:27:03.18\00:27:05.37
a bicycle shop and
the last thing I thought
00:27:05.38\00:27:08.79
I was be going to able
to do at ASI was be able
00:27:08.80\00:27:11.12
to work on bicycles
and. You like to work on,
00:27:11.13\00:27:13.58
you like to work on bicycles.
00:27:13.59\00:27:14.66
I certainly do,
bicycles are one of my passions
00:27:15.11\00:27:18.38
and so I was able
to work on bicycles
00:27:18.83\00:27:21.72
and the way that works is.
00:27:21.73\00:27:23.32
Did you bring your
bicycle to Louisville?
00:27:23.76\00:27:25.98
I sure did I
brought my own bike.
00:27:25.99\00:27:28.16
Before he went and
worked fixing bikes
00:27:28.17\00:27:31.83
he cycled 35 miles that
morning before we arrive.
00:27:31.84\00:27:35.63
I was excited to
know I had an experienced
00:27:36.07\00:27:38.00
bicycle person,
they love bicycles
00:27:38.01\00:27:39.85
and was able to use
his talents for the Lord.
00:27:39.86\00:27:42.00
And so what was the
like when you arrive
00:27:42.01\00:27:43.70
there at the bicycle shop.
00:27:43.71\00:27:44.75
Well when I first
got there it looked like
00:27:45.18\00:27:48.52
somebody had tipped
over every single bike.
00:27:48.53\00:27:50.46
There is about a
100 different bicycles
00:27:50.47\00:27:52.17
in the shop with
various disrepair,
00:27:52.18\00:27:54.66
tires land all over the
ground, we had no tools.
00:27:55.85\00:27:58.18
Whatsoever expect for a
basically a mechanic shop
00:27:58.61\00:28:00.99
that was in the back,
so we had to use what tools
00:28:01.00\00:28:03.71
we could to fix the bikes.
00:28:03.72\00:28:05.14
And why would a homeless person
00:28:06.04\00:28:08.82
Downtown Louisville need a bike?
00:28:09.37\00:28:10.97
Well that's what I thought,
00:28:11.57\00:28:13.04
I didn't know
that at first but when
00:28:13.05\00:28:15.55
I learned the real
reason was when homeless
00:28:15.56\00:28:18.94
people at the Wayside
Mission they teach them
00:28:18.95\00:28:21.27
how to get back
into the real world.
00:28:21.28\00:28:22.77
They give, they give
them lessons of how to get
00:28:22.78\00:28:25.56
a job and
everything. And once they get
00:28:25.57\00:28:27.11
a job its hard for a
homeless person to get
00:28:27.12\00:28:29.28
a car right away.
So if we can give them
00:28:29.29\00:28:31.43
a bike they can use
public transportation
00:28:31.44\00:28:34.04
and then if
there is another mile
00:28:34.51\00:28:36.30
or two they ride to their job.
00:28:36.31\00:28:37.78
They can use the bike.
00:28:37.79\00:28:38.76
And so when you
were finished how many
00:28:39.27\00:28:41.10
of those bikes were
you able to refurbish
00:28:41.11\00:28:42.98
they naturally try
out and get working
00:28:42.99\00:28:44.47
for the homeless
people. Well when we got there,
00:28:44.48\00:28:46.54
there is a lot of
different you know,
00:28:46.55\00:28:48.82
different kinds of
bikes but the main problem
00:28:49.16\00:28:51.54
was that some were
in too bad of shape
00:28:51.55\00:28:53.75
to get fixed right
away. So we kind a did
00:28:53.76\00:28:56.57
a three hours program
and got them separated
00:28:56.58\00:28:58.55
and we ended up fixing
about 30 different bikes
00:28:58.56\00:29:02.46
and got them road worthy. Amen.
00:29:02.47\00:29:04.52
It's exciting
to get young people
00:29:06.93\00:29:08.78
involved in service.
Working with habitat,
00:29:09.19\00:29:11.74
fixing bikes,
helping homeless people
00:29:11.75\00:29:14.15
and hopefully they
will catch a vision
00:29:14.52\00:29:16.47
as we are told that
it is in service that
00:29:17.03\00:29:19.96
our greatest joy
and highest education
00:29:19.97\00:29:21.90
is found and there
is no better way to make
00:29:22.27\00:29:25.09
your one life to live for God
00:29:25.10\00:29:28.14
then through its service.
00:29:28.15\00:29:29.47
Good evening, happy Sabbath.
00:29:42.41\00:29:45.36
It is good to be
here at ASI on the Sabbath
00:29:47.23\00:29:49.82
yes, yes. Well
this year we have had
00:29:49.83\00:29:53.91
a wonderful time and
God has blessed so much
00:29:53.92\00:29:57.93
that we can't
even begin to tell you
00:29:57.94\00:30:00.12
and describe to
you what has happened
00:30:00.13\00:30:01.70
here this summer. And we have,
00:30:01.71\00:30:04.84
this is a ASI
Youth For Jesus Program,
00:30:04.85\00:30:07.11
this is the
program that you sponsor,
00:30:07.61\00:30:10.90
that you
support, that you pray for
00:30:10.91\00:30:13.64
and God has
blessed your efforts,
00:30:14.07\00:30:16.61
your
sponsorships, your prayers and
00:30:17.02\00:30:20.57
he has answered
in a powerful way.
00:30:20.58\00:30:22.53
And don't they look nice.
00:30:23.01\00:30:25.20
This year we have
had evangelistic meetings
00:30:33.56\00:30:36.39
at six sites. There
were three Kentucky-Tennessee
00:30:36.40\00:30:40.16
Conference Churches, two
Indiana Conference Churches
00:30:40.17\00:30:43.65
which are just
across the river here
00:30:43.66\00:30:45.68
and one South
Central Regional Conference.
00:30:46.12\00:30:49.67
And the pastors
and the conferences
00:30:50.05\00:30:53.03
have just been unreliably
supportive and worked.
00:30:53.04\00:30:58.07
And the other day I
said I wish I could give
00:30:58.08\00:31:00.86
them medals of honor because
00:31:00.87\00:31:03.04
they just have been,
they have gone beyond
00:31:03.05\00:31:06.13
what we normally ask of them.
00:31:08.12\00:31:10.51
And so we just
really appreciated
00:31:10.93\00:31:12.71
Pastor Richard
Hallock the President
00:31:12.72\00:31:15.01
of the
Kentucky-Tennessee Conference,
00:31:15.02\00:31:16.58
Pastor Gary
Thurber, President of the
00:31:16.96\00:31:18.90
Indiana Conference,
and Pastor Michael Harpe
00:31:18.91\00:31:21.90
was the ASI liaison for the
00:31:21.91\00:31:23.87
South Central Conference.
And we just appreciate
00:31:23.88\00:31:26.41
their support so
much. We have had 43 youth
00:31:26.42\00:31:30.20
during our program.
They come from 12 countries
00:31:30.56\00:31:33.06
and represent 12 states
and represent 4 countries.
00:31:33.07\00:31:37.97
We have had 21 Bible workers,
00:31:38.96\00:31:41.39
the Bible workers
have been here for all the
00:31:41.94\00:31:44.71
past three or four
months doing pre-work
00:31:44.72\00:31:47.86
previous to the start
of the evangelistic series.
00:31:48.36\00:31:51.26
And also we have had
just the most wonderful
00:31:52.91\00:31:55.65
volunteers staff and I
just, I just appreciated
00:31:55.66\00:32:00.44
them so much. We
have had just a very
00:32:00.45\00:32:03.19
spiritual filled,
just most wonderful
00:32:03.20\00:32:08.04
time to gather,
working with the kids
00:32:08.05\00:32:10.34
and praying with them
and pleading with them
00:32:10.35\00:32:13.15
and even nagging them.
And the kids don't need it;
00:32:13.16\00:32:19.64
do they? But you
know on occasion they did
00:32:19.65\00:32:23.43
and some of the
wonderful results that
00:32:24.22\00:32:29.99
we have
experienced amongst many,
00:32:30.00\00:32:32.70
many testimonies,
just, testimonies that would
00:32:32.71\00:32:36.53
just warm your heart
and that would inspire
00:32:36.54\00:32:39.06
you which we wish we
could share all of them
00:32:39.07\00:32:41.13
with you, but we
are going to share a few
00:32:41.14\00:32:42.40
of them with you tonight.
00:32:42.41\00:32:43.38
But the results from the prayers
00:32:43.82\00:32:48.68
and work and the
dedication of this group
00:32:49.05\00:32:51.84
have resulted in 149
decisions for baptisms.
00:32:52.44\00:32:55.58
We held a
wonderful, wonderful baptismal
00:33:05.08\00:33:07.29
service the other day.
00:33:07.30\00:33:08.29
Some people had
been previously baptized
00:33:08.67\00:33:11.01
and the total number of
people that have already
00:33:11.41\00:33:13.26
been baptized is 77.
And there is 12 schedules
00:33:13.27\00:33:17.24
for not
tomorrow because tomorrow
00:33:17.25\00:33:20.65
all the churches
are coming here but next
00:33:20.66\00:33:23.37
Sabbath there is
12 more decisions,
00:33:23.38\00:33:25.50
people that have made
decisions to be baptized,
00:33:26.36\00:33:28.39
and there is several, several,
00:33:28.82\00:33:31.11
there is many
actually that we need
00:33:31.12\00:33:33.23
to still clear. I
guess Kentucky is the
00:33:33.24\00:33:37.46
headquarters for
some tobacco companies
00:33:37.47\00:33:39.53
or something and so
we have many that are
00:33:39.54\00:33:41.96
struggling to
overcome that addiction.
00:33:41.97\00:33:45.71
And so we need to
really pray for our contacts
00:33:46.19\00:33:49.10
that are still
struggling with the issues
00:33:49.11\00:33:50.94
that we need to still clear.
00:33:51.32\00:33:52.91
So keep them in your prayers.
00:33:52.92\00:33:55.53
You know these just
may sound like numbers,
00:33:56.19\00:33:59.37
but they are blessings from God,
00:33:59.82\00:34:01.58
and we just want to
praise God from whom
00:34:02.27\00:34:05.13
all blessings flow.
And our Katie Eager,
00:34:05.14\00:34:08.71
Andrew Eager, and their sister
00:34:08.72\00:34:11.17
Stephanie McNeilus
are going to praise God.
00:34:11.18\00:34:14.49
Praise Father,
Son, Praise Father, Son,
00:34:19.77\00:34:24.37
Praise Father,
Son and Holy Ghost.
00:34:24.48\00:34:35.21
All people that
on earth do dwell,
00:34:35.63\00:34:40.51
Sing to the Lord
with cheerful voice.
00:34:40.83\00:34:45.83
Him serve with mirth,
his praise forth tell;
00:34:45.84\00:34:50.44
Come ye before Him and rejoice.
00:34:51.19\00:34:56.29
O enter then His gates with joy,
00:34:56.81\00:35:02.41
Within His courts
His praise proclaim;
00:35:02.77\00:35:07.51
Let thankful songs
your tongues employ,
00:35:08.36\00:35:13.78
O bless and magnify His name.
00:35:14.20\00:35:19.75
Because the
Lord our God is good,
00:35:20.19\00:35:26.32
His mercy is forever sure;
00:35:26.66\00:35:32.45
His truth at all
times firmly stood,
00:35:32.83\00:35:38.63
And shall from age
to age endure. Endure.
00:35:39.00\00:35:48.96
Praise God from
whom all blessings flow;
00:35:48.97\00:35:55.30
Praise Him all
creatures here below;
00:35:55.77\00:36:01.91
Praise Him above
ye heavenly host;
00:36:01.92\00:36:09.50
Praise Father,
Son and Holy Ghost.
00:36:09.91\00:36:18.37
Amen, Amen, Amen.
00:36:18.79\00:36:36.05
Praise God from
whom all blessings flow;
00:36:36.06\00:36:42.17
Praise Him all
creatures here below;
00:36:42.52\00:36:48.45
Praise Him above
ye heavenly host;
00:36:48.46\00:36:54.85
Praise Father,
Son and Holy Ghost.
00:36:55.26\00:37:04.36
Praise Father,
Son, Praise Father, Son,
00:37:04.37\00:37:08.98
Praise Father, Son
and Holy Ghost. Amen!
00:37:08.99\00:37:28.05
Amen. You know
what I found out doing
00:37:38.04\00:37:43.06
this work that the work
of evangelism takes work.
00:37:43.07\00:37:47.01
And it takes a lot of
work and we appreciate
00:37:48.37\00:37:51.35
our Bible workers so
much, and I would like
00:37:51.81\00:37:54.43
to introduce Kevin
Sears to you right now.
00:37:54.44\00:37:56.45
Kevin Sears is the
Youth For Jesus coordinator
00:37:56.83\00:38:00.28
and he has been on
the ground since January
00:38:00.29\00:38:03.46
working with churches.
Why don't you share with,
00:38:03.97\00:38:06.95
with our ASI family
the work that you have been
00:38:06.96\00:38:09.93
doing since
January and introduce
00:38:09.94\00:38:11.79
the site coordinators?
Good evening everyone.
00:38:11.80\00:38:14.10
Good evening! Leasa
we haven't gotten past
00:38:14.11\00:38:17.13
the introduction I
think we lost them already.
00:38:17.14\00:38:19.02
Good evening
everyone. Good evening!
00:38:19.41\00:38:22.03
We are excited to be
here tonight, amen. Amen!
00:38:22.04\00:38:25.39
I have the privilege
of coming here in January
00:38:25.75\00:38:28.86
to prepare the
pre-work for the seminars
00:38:28.87\00:38:33.19
that we are putting
on and so then the Bible
00:38:33.20\00:38:35.55
workers came.
The coordinators came
00:38:35.56\00:38:38.09
in February, the
Bible workers begin coming
00:38:38.10\00:38:41.13
in March and April
and May and in June
00:38:41.14\00:38:44.68
and then the youth
came in July right before
00:38:44.69\00:38:47.49
our series began. And
so I have had the privilege
00:38:47.97\00:38:50.56
of being here in the
Louisville area for most
00:38:50.57\00:38:53.74
of this year and it's
been a real privilege.
00:38:53.75\00:38:56.26
And tonight I would
like to introduce you to the
00:38:56.70\00:38:59.23
coordinators for our
all the sites that we had,
00:38:59.24\00:39:02.29
Jim Helman why
don't you step forward
00:39:02.30\00:39:04.04
and kind of wave
this is Jim Helman.
00:39:04.05\00:39:06.37
He has been with
for a couple of years.
00:39:06.72\00:39:08.92
He does a great
job. He was coordinating
00:39:08.93\00:39:11.67
the Shelbyville
church in Louisville area.
00:39:11.68\00:39:15.15
And who do we;
Andrea step forward,
00:39:16.01\00:39:18.01
Andre Shedroff was
a coordinator over at
00:39:18.63\00:39:22.88
the
Jeffersonville site in Indiana
00:39:22.89\00:39:25.94
and Andrea is
originally from Russia
00:39:25.95\00:39:28.91
and he was a Bible
worker with us last year
00:39:29.18\00:39:31.30
and now he is a coordinator.
00:39:31.31\00:39:32.42
And Kal Roller, I
would like to introduce you.
00:39:32.43\00:39:34.67
Kal come on over here.
00:39:34.68\00:39:35.67
Kal was the, come
on over here, Kal.
00:39:36.44\00:39:38.51
Kal was the coordinator
and I have a microphone
00:39:39.11\00:39:41.59
for you that I was hiding.
00:39:41.60\00:39:43.09
You wanna put that there.
00:39:43.63\00:39:44.60
Kal was the
coordinator for the site at
00:39:45.74\00:39:48.64
the New Albany,
Indiana and we could have
00:39:48.65\00:39:51.14
called up either one
of these coordinators
00:39:51.15\00:39:53.16
to share many,
many, many testimonies
00:39:53.17\00:39:55.51
with you but we
don't have the time
00:39:55.52\00:39:57.30
for that unfortunately.
But Kal tell us of
00:39:57.31\00:39:59.67
an interesting
story that happened
00:39:59.72\00:40:02.40
over in New Albany.
00:40:02.41\00:40:03.62
Well I was out
going door to door with
00:40:03.63\00:40:05.65
Michael Reynolds
one of the Bible workers
00:40:05.66\00:40:07.45
back here and we met this lady.
00:40:07.46\00:40:09.95
She was very
disarming at the door.
00:40:09.96\00:40:11.80
She was very friendly and gentle
00:40:11.81\00:40:14.30
and she took the
time to take our survey
00:40:14.70\00:40:16.69
at the door, and
through our conversation
00:40:16.70\00:40:20.81
she revealed to us
that she has a religious
00:40:20.82\00:40:24.45
studies major. She
has a degree in religious
00:40:24.46\00:40:27.72
studies and yet she
didn't really understand
00:40:27.73\00:40:30.97
the books of
Daniel and Revelation
00:40:30.98\00:40:32.87
that well, and so
she really wanted to
00:40:32.88\00:40:35.39
understand. I
mean this is perfect.
00:40:35.40\00:40:36.91
And so we
studied that very Sunday.
00:40:38.65\00:40:41.71
We met here on
Thursday, on Sunday
00:40:41.72\00:40:44.37
we studied with
her Daniel chapter 2
00:40:44.38\00:40:47.14
and that is an
extraordinary study
00:40:47.15\00:40:49.59
in the Bible. It's
one of the most powerful
00:40:49.60\00:40:51.42
tools we have in
sharing with people that
00:40:51.43\00:40:53.31
Jesus is coming and
also that the Bible is true.
00:40:53.32\00:40:56.52
Amen. Now that Sunday
she also revealed to us
00:40:56.96\00:41:02.14
that she had
drifted away from the Lord
00:41:03.30\00:41:05.30
and she was under
conviction from the
00:41:05.90\00:41:07.83
Holy Spirit that
she should return
00:41:07.84\00:41:09.22
to the Lord. That
Sunday she loved the
00:41:09.69\00:41:11.86
Bible study and at
the end she told us
00:41:11.87\00:41:14.47
why she let us in,
why she took the survey
00:41:14.48\00:41:17.60
from us and here is
why. She had this dream
00:41:17.61\00:41:21.05
that there was a
white beat up car parked
00:41:22.49\00:41:24.81
in front of her
house and on the same day
00:41:24.82\00:41:27.64
that this white
beat up car was in front
00:41:28.10\00:41:30.46
of her house
these two young men came
00:41:30.47\00:41:32.90
to her door.
That Thursday morning
00:41:32.91\00:41:35.87
she saw this car
in front of her house
00:41:35.88\00:41:38.50
and she knew that two gentlemen
00:41:38.88\00:41:40.46
would approach
for that very day.
00:41:41.08\00:41:42.50
And that's when
Michael and I showed up
00:41:42.83\00:41:44.50
at her door, extraordinary.
00:41:44.51\00:41:46.55
That was the
Sunday before the meeting
00:41:47.02\00:41:49.19
started that Friday
only five days before
00:41:49.20\00:41:52.59
the meeting started
we had her first and only
00:41:52.60\00:41:55.35
Bible study with her.
She came to most of the
00:41:55.36\00:41:57.63
meetings and
she is now preparing
00:41:57.64\00:41:59.52
to be baptized.
Amen, amen. Thank you Kal.
00:41:59.53\00:42:02.60
Again we could share many
00:42:04.69\00:42:06.41
and we will
share some more stories
00:42:06.42\00:42:08.25
but we couldn't
even scratch the surface
00:42:08.59\00:42:11.09
of all the incredible
miracles that took place
00:42:11.10\00:42:14.12
in such a short time
here in the Louisville area.
00:42:14.13\00:42:17.67
So thank you and God bless you.
00:42:17.68\00:42:19.02
You know I wish
we had time to share
00:42:24.70\00:42:26.39
these testimonies
with you every morning
00:42:26.40\00:42:28.63
during our worship we
have a testimony time.
00:42:29.04\00:42:31.55
And you know I
have been churches where
00:42:31.98\00:42:34.20
the Pastor says
now it's our praise
00:42:34.21\00:42:36.39
and testimony time
does anybody have anything
00:42:36.40\00:42:38.55
to say and you know
we are to sit there.
00:42:38.56\00:42:40.81
And you know
sometimes we don't have anything
00:42:42.25\00:42:46.18
to say but that's not the
case with Youth for Jesus.
00:42:46.19\00:42:48.61
When it's time to
tell testimonies every hand
00:42:49.03\00:42:51.95
goes up and they
come up and they line up
00:42:51.96\00:42:54.16
and they just tell
one wonderful testimony
00:42:54.53\00:42:56.93
after another of
contacts they have made,
00:42:56.94\00:42:59.35
interest they have
met and people that they
00:42:59.36\00:43:02.40
brought to the
meetings, and so this is just
00:43:02.41\00:43:05.16
an exciting,
exciting program. Now we have,
00:43:05.17\00:43:09.24
you've met four of
the six coordinators
00:43:10.93\00:43:13.44
and we had two other sites.
00:43:13.94\00:43:15.63
One was the South
Central Regional Conference
00:43:15.64\00:43:18.99
and that site was
coordinated by the
00:43:19.00\00:43:23.09
NAPS group from Oakwood College.
00:43:23.10\00:43:25.12
And I would like
Bryan and Jean to come up
00:43:25.43\00:43:28.38
and these gentlemen
are part of an organization
00:43:28.89\00:43:33.75
called NAPS
from Oakwood College.
00:43:33.76\00:43:36.49
And why don't you
tell us why you took
00:43:36.50\00:43:40.56
this time to come
and help us at ASI.
00:43:40.57\00:43:43.65
Well thank you Leasa,
00:43:44.08\00:43:45.05
well my name is Jean Lubin,
00:43:45.06\00:43:46.15
Oakwood student
missionary volunteers
00:43:46.16\00:43:48.18
with the
organization called NAPS
00:43:48.19\00:43:50.43
and that stands for
the National Association
00:43:50.96\00:43:52.73
for the Prevention of Starvation
00:43:52.74\00:43:54.02
and well God
worked miracles throughout
00:43:54.03\00:43:59.05
the meetings eleven
souls who wanted the
00:43:59.06\00:44:00.88
Kingdom and Bryan
has more testimonies
00:44:00.89\00:44:05.38
on how the lives of
families were changed.
00:44:05.39\00:44:08.55
You know we spend time with them
00:44:08.56\00:44:10.27
and God we worked
upon their hearts to give
00:44:10.28\00:44:13.75
their lives to Lord,
Bryan. Well Jean mentioned
00:44:13.76\00:44:16.73
we working with
families and that certainly
00:44:16.74\00:44:18.48
was the highlight of
working with the youth
00:44:18.49\00:44:20.83
for Jesus campaign this year.
00:44:20.84\00:44:22.48
One family that I
was able to work with
00:44:22.98\00:44:24.78
was a family of three.
00:44:24.79\00:44:25.91
The mother she was 65 years old
00:44:26.48\00:44:28.49
and she had two
daughters and she had a problem
00:44:28.50\00:44:32.83
with smoking and
there were some things
00:44:32.84\00:44:34.32
going on in the
family. And they were searching
00:44:34.33\00:44:36.84
for truth; they were
looking for something
00:44:36.85\00:44:38.67
better in life. We
came knocked on their
00:44:38.68\00:44:41.08
door one day and we asked them
00:44:41.09\00:44:43.55
if they would like
to have Bible studies
00:44:43.56\00:44:44.98
and they agree.
And after we were able
00:44:44.99\00:44:48.00
to have Bible studies
with this family we had
00:44:48.01\00:44:50.83
this chance to see their
family be reunited again.
00:44:50.84\00:44:54.69
And she had a
problem with smoking.
00:44:55.21\00:44:57.54
She started smoking
when she was 16 years old.
00:44:57.55\00:45:00.51
I remind you she is
65 so she has been almost
00:45:01.02\00:45:03.49
smoking for 50
years, but through the power
00:45:03.50\00:45:06.36
of Holy Spirit
and through us working
00:45:06.37\00:45:08.49
with her and showing her love,
00:45:08.50\00:45:09.63
she was able to
give up those cigarettes
00:45:09.64\00:45:11.79
and not only to give
that up but to be baptized.
00:45:11.80\00:45:14.50
And one of her
daughters was baptized
00:45:15.63\00:45:17.23
with her as well.
Thank you so much.
00:45:17.24\00:45:22.32
Now what was the
result from your efforts
00:45:23.00\00:45:26.57
and how did God bless?
00:45:26.58\00:45:27.69
God truly blessed.
We also had a chance
00:45:28.98\00:45:31.22
to do a children's program.
00:45:31.55\00:45:32.91
This is another way
that we were able to get
00:45:32.92\00:45:35.45
into the people's
homes. We have a sort of
00:45:35.46\00:45:38.54
vacation Bible school
style outlined for them
00:45:39.10\00:45:41.72
but it's really
focused on teaching the kids
00:45:41.73\00:45:44.22
the Bible truth
adoptions that we find
00:45:44.23\00:45:46.82
in the Bible and
the Lord really blessed.
00:45:46.83\00:45:49.62
We really sowed
seeds into those kids
00:45:49.63\00:45:51.64
and as a result of
that when we had our
00:45:51.65\00:45:53.82
evangelistic meeting
several of the parents
00:45:53.83\00:45:56.30
came and
received and accepted the
00:45:56.31\00:45:58.54
word of God.
Amen. Thank you so much.
00:45:58.55\00:46:01.51
we also had a site
that was we called out
00:46:07.36\00:46:10.01
satellite site. When
we first came down to
00:46:10.02\00:46:12.76
the Kentucky-Tennessee
Conference to talk with the
00:46:12.77\00:46:14.60
conference
leaders about the program
00:46:14.61\00:46:16.00
they just really
had a heart for us to do
00:46:16.70\00:46:21.04
something in
Frankfort. Now Frankfort is the
00:46:21.05\00:46:23.88
capital of Kentucky
and they did not have
00:46:23.89\00:46:26.39
a Kentucky-Tennessee
Conference Church there
00:46:26.40\00:46:28.35
and you know which is just,
00:46:28.79\00:46:31.16
it's a capital of a
state and so we wanted
00:46:31.57\00:46:34.62
to do something there
too but it was just too far
00:46:34.63\00:46:37.10
away for us to
be directly involved
00:46:37.11\00:46:39.02
and so we asked
Ouachita Hills College
00:46:39.43\00:46:41.82
to come and
coordinate and provide Bible
00:46:41.83\00:46:44.19
workers and
speakers to work there as a
00:46:44.20\00:46:46.95
satellite site. And
Dan why don't you give us
00:46:46.96\00:46:49.84
a report of that
effort? Well I wasn't at the
00:46:49.85\00:46:53.32
Frankfort site but
some good friends of mine
00:46:53.33\00:46:56.38
and also my sister
worked there as Bible workers
00:46:56.39\00:46:58.51
and speakers. And I
just got off the phone
00:46:58.52\00:47:00.77
with my sister a
few minutes ago and some
00:47:00.78\00:47:02.27
amazing things were
happening over Frankfort.
00:47:02.28\00:47:04.56
Before we got
there as Leasa said
00:47:04.57\00:47:06.28
there was no
English speaking church.
00:47:06.29\00:47:08.05
There was a Hispanic
church they were working
00:47:08.06\00:47:09.76
hard and the
conference hired Pastor James
00:47:09.77\00:47:12.72
to go in and to work
as a part-time Pastor,
00:47:12.73\00:47:16.10
part-time Literature Evangelist.
00:47:16.11\00:47:17.64
By the time he
had finished one year
00:47:18.14\00:47:20.08
he had 20 peoples with
a Branch Sabbath school.
00:47:20.09\00:47:23.05
He was a hard
working man and that's about
00:47:23.06\00:47:24.94
the time that ASI and
the Ouachita Hills College
00:47:24.95\00:47:28.26
evangelism team got
there. And they only,
00:47:28.60\00:47:30.81
because the school
got out one month before
00:47:30.82\00:47:33.51
the program started,
they only had a one month
00:47:33.52\00:47:36.22
to do all of their pre-work.
00:47:36.23\00:47:37.97
So they go in
there, they started
00:47:38.46\00:47:39.77
knocking on
doors. They started going
00:47:39.78\00:47:41.73
and giving Bible
studies to people and the
00:47:41.74\00:47:43.50
opening night of
their meetings they had 70
00:47:43.51\00:47:45.21
visitors come not
counting church members, okay.
00:47:45.45\00:47:48.20
I had the privilege of
going over there one time
00:47:54.19\00:47:56.76
with Leasa and
Verrell and I noticed
00:47:56.77\00:47:59.79
a man walking in. He
had a Michigan jacket;
00:47:59.80\00:48:01.43
I go to school in
Michigan so I thought
00:48:01.44\00:48:02.75
oh I can talk to
him. And I went over there
00:48:02.76\00:48:05.89
and he came up to me
and said how are you,
00:48:05.90\00:48:08.26
I am Chris Glover
and his ascent, given his
00:48:08.27\00:48:10.40
ascent, I said no
way you are from Maine
00:48:10.41\00:48:12.27
I am from Maine too.
And he was telling me
00:48:12.28\00:48:16.92
how he met my
sister. My sister had made
00:48:16.93\00:48:19.21
a wrong turn into the
hotel and she was turning
00:48:19.22\00:48:23.07
around and he saw her
license plate from Maine
00:48:23.13\00:48:25.99
and he flagged her
down and stopped her car
00:48:26.36\00:48:30.00
and asking her what
you doing all the way down
00:48:30.60\00:48:33.33
here in Frankfort.
And so she told him what
00:48:33.34\00:48:36.25
we are doing, you know
we are doing the series
00:48:36.26\00:48:37.90
in Bible studies
and she asked him
00:48:37.91\00:48:40.34
do you study the
Bible. And he said you know
00:48:40.35\00:48:43.10
I haven't in the past
but I've been thinking
00:48:43.98\00:48:46.19
that something I
really need to do.
00:48:46.20\00:48:47.62
I really want to study
the Bible and so she asked
00:48:48.02\00:48:50.68
him do you want to
study and he said yes.
00:48:50.69\00:48:52.75
He has been coming into
the meetings every night
00:48:53.16\00:48:54.94
and tomorrow I believe
he is going to be baptized.
00:48:55.39\00:48:58.59
One more thing I
want to say is that
00:49:04.61\00:49:06.13
they couldn't be
here tonight because
00:49:06.14\00:49:07.78
their meetings.
Tonight is their last night,
00:49:07.79\00:49:10.52
but last night they
had 12 decisions for people
00:49:10.94\00:49:15.59
to join God's true
church to come out of that one.
00:49:15.60\00:49:18.30
They are having
five people getting ready
00:49:18.70\00:49:20.31
for baptism
right now plus 12 more
00:49:20.32\00:49:23.09
and God has been doing some
00:49:23.10\00:49:24.41
amazing things over Frankfort.
00:49:24.42\00:49:25.82
That's close to
doubling their membership.
00:49:27.15\00:49:29.27
You know there are
several objectives that
00:49:32.70\00:49:35.02
we have for this
Youth for Jesus Program.
00:49:35.03\00:49:37.23
And it's not just for
the youth; it's not just
00:49:37.94\00:49:40.55
to mentor them,
to teach them how to
00:49:40.56\00:49:42.81
do evangelism, to
teach them how to live
00:49:42.82\00:49:45.34
Christian lives.
We also want to impact
00:49:46.13\00:49:49.92
the churches that we go into.
00:49:49.93\00:49:51.38
We also want to
impact the community.
00:49:52.03\00:49:53.91
We want to share
the love of Jesus.
00:49:54.36\00:49:56.17
The soon coming of
Jesus and the salvation
00:49:56.18\00:49:58.69
that Jesus
provides with the community
00:49:58.70\00:50:01.10
and invite them to
come and join His church.
00:50:01.11\00:50:03.63
We also want to
make this program so that
00:50:04.11\00:50:07.72
he can be
duplicated anywhere and anybody
00:50:07.73\00:50:10.58
can do it. And so
we are going to give,
00:50:10.59\00:50:13.87
we are going to talk
to some people in these
00:50:14.64\00:50:16.97
different areas
who have been impacted
00:50:16.98\00:50:19.62
by our Youth for Jesus program.
00:50:20.06\00:50:21.86
And Kevin is bringing
out Pastor Rich Teller,
00:50:23.75\00:50:26.77
and we love this
man. If we could take him
00:50:27.19\00:50:32.08
home to Minnesota we would.
00:50:32.09\00:50:33.62
Here we have as Leasa
told you Richard Teller.
00:50:35.60\00:50:39.03
He is the Pastor
Shelbyville as well as
00:50:39.04\00:50:41.88
the Pewee Valley
church and when we came out
00:50:41.89\00:50:44.65
here last year to
try and figure out what
00:50:44.66\00:50:47.30
churches we are
going to go with,
00:50:47.31\00:50:48.79
some
interesting things happened.
00:50:49.72\00:50:51.29
We want to
originally going to go with
00:50:51.76\00:50:53.44
Pewee Valley as the
main site and Shelbyville
00:50:54.01\00:50:56.88
wasn't even one of
our churches we were
00:50:56.89\00:50:59.35
considering, and the
Lord just worked things
00:50:59.36\00:51:02.23
out amazingly. And the Lord knew
00:51:02.24\00:51:04.27
where we needed
to be and who needed
00:51:04.60\00:51:06.26
to be touched and
so we ended up having
00:51:06.27\00:51:08.41
our main site at
Richard's church a Pastor,
00:51:08.78\00:51:12.01
Richard's church at Pewee Valley
00:51:12.38\00:51:13.68
and then his
second church we were able
00:51:14.05\00:51:16.62
to incorporate as one
of the churches as well.
00:51:16.63\00:51:18.85
And I wanted to just
ask you Rich what kind
00:51:19.31\00:51:23.51
of an impact would
you say it had on let say
00:51:23.52\00:51:26.26
Shelbyville church first.
00:51:26.27\00:51:27.47
Tell us little bit
about Shelbyville church?
00:51:27.48\00:51:28.99
Well Shelbyville
is not a large church.
00:51:29.00\00:51:32.35
It averages may
be about 35 people
00:51:32.36\00:51:34.91
a Sabbath. And
the meeting started
00:51:34.92\00:51:38.70
the first night and I
think we must had 85 people.
00:51:38.71\00:51:41.89
There was about
42 visitors. Amen!
00:51:41.90\00:51:43.85
We average between 70
and 85 people every night
00:51:44.28\00:51:47.82
with about 30 to 45
visitors every night.
00:51:47.83\00:51:50.67
So we are actually
having more visitors
00:51:51.09\00:51:52.77
in our total Sabbath attendance.
00:51:52.78\00:51:55.47
Which just excited the church,
00:51:56.10\00:51:57.94
the young people
and the church members
00:51:58.76\00:52:02.67
just bonded, and
they just fell in love
00:52:02.68\00:52:05.50
with each other, and
it's excited the church.
00:52:05.51\00:52:07.85
The church over the
last few years may be
00:52:07.86\00:52:09.72
done 6 or 7 evangelistic
efforts may be one or two
00:52:09.73\00:52:13.65
people and to have
the amount of people
00:52:13.66\00:52:16.69
coming out that
came to this meeting just
00:52:16.70\00:52:19.88
inspired them,
just fired them up.
00:52:19.89\00:52:21.96
We baptized 8, the
other night we have
00:52:23.43\00:52:27.24
at least 5 to 6 that
are very serious that
00:52:27.25\00:52:30.84
we are working with,
that are working on smoking
00:52:30.85\00:52:32.83
and we have other
interest that will
00:52:32.84\00:52:34.73
continue to follow up.
The Lord put us in contact
00:52:34.74\00:52:37.61
with some very
interesting people.
00:52:37.62\00:52:39.35
Everyone is an experience,
00:52:40.23\00:52:41.67
but I want to
share one experience from
00:52:41.68\00:52:43.33
Shelbyville. Alaina one
of the Bible workers came,
00:52:43.34\00:52:46.44
the first week she was there,
00:52:46.84\00:52:48.08
she knocked on Elizabeth's door.
00:52:48.48\00:52:50.28
Now Elizabeth is in her
80's and as they started
00:52:51.52\00:52:55.14
talking Elizabeth
brought up to Sabbath.
00:52:55.15\00:52:58.22
Elizabeth had been
keeping the Sabbath
00:52:59.76\00:53:01.82
by herself for several
years trying to convict
00:53:01.83\00:53:04.70
people of the
Sabbath and nobody would
00:53:04.71\00:53:06.77
listen to her and she
had not idea there was
00:53:06.78\00:53:09.15
anybody out
there that understood
00:53:09.16\00:53:10.84
and kept the Sabbath.
So, the very next Sabbath
00:53:10.85\00:53:15.37
she was in church
and almost immediately
00:53:15.38\00:53:18.93
became part of our
church family, amen.
00:53:19.54\00:53:21.79
Now Elizabeth when
she was 17 years old
00:53:21.80\00:53:24.70
her family was starving.
They didn't have enough
00:53:25.07\00:53:26.92
food and somebody
told her if she would smoke
00:53:26.93\00:53:29.97
cigarettes it will
help deal that hunger.
00:53:29.98\00:53:32.57
And she started smoking
when she was 17 years old.
00:53:32.98\00:53:36.60
Just before the
meeting started we had a
00:53:37.69\00:53:39.79
"Stop Smoking"
seminar and the very first day
00:53:39.80\00:53:44.06
Elizabeth quit
smoking. It's been well over
00:53:44.07\00:53:46.35
a month now and
she not had another
00:53:46.36\00:53:48.00
cigarette since.
Amen! And she was baptized,
00:53:48.01\00:53:51.30
last Tuesday night.
How long she smoking for?
00:53:52.10\00:53:53.87
Oh my, 82 or 83 and
started when she was 17.
00:53:54.25\00:53:57.67
Sixty five years in that area.
00:53:59.07\00:54:01.89
And she lights
the cigarettes down
00:54:01.90\00:54:03.37
and never looked
back again, amen, amen.
00:54:03.38\00:54:05.79
Just a sweet
heart, and that's just one
00:54:05.80\00:54:08.30
of the many, many
stories. Any other story
00:54:08.31\00:54:11.39
come to mine. Well
we go to Pewee Valley.
00:54:11.40\00:54:15.08
Pewee Valley is
little bigger church.
00:54:15.09\00:54:16.68
The beauty that ASI
brought is the Lord for
00:54:18.94\00:54:22.01
the past three
years has had Pewee Valley
00:54:22.02\00:54:23.87
on a journey.
Last summer we had the
00:54:23.88\00:54:26.71
Messiah's Mansion
there and it really
00:54:26.72\00:54:28.51
rallied our church
members and excited some.
00:54:28.52\00:54:30.71
Then this year, I go
back a couple of years ago.
00:54:32.41\00:54:36.29
My son used to be
the ASI Representative
00:54:36.30\00:54:39.08
liaison for Mid-American Union.
00:54:39.52\00:54:41.42
When he was in
Cincinnati I went up to see him
00:54:41.43\00:54:43.38
and he said, got
good news for you dad.
00:54:43.39\00:54:45.25
We are going to be able
to visit you in two years
00:54:45.26\00:54:47.24
because that's
going to be in Louisville.
00:54:47.73\00:54:49.34
And we went great
and I knew a bit about
00:54:49.89\00:54:52.94
the Youth for
Jesus. So I start getting
00:54:52.95\00:54:55.25
a little bit
excited that it would come
00:54:55.26\00:54:57.49
and we could
possibly be part of it.
00:54:57.50\00:54:59.13
And we started
building that excitement
00:55:00.02\00:55:03.32
this year and then
when we met and they visited
00:55:03.33\00:55:07.61
our church, I think
Kevin you came to visit
00:55:07.62\00:55:10.41
Pewee Valley
with couple of others.
00:55:10.42\00:55:12.66
And the people just loved them.
00:55:13.39\00:55:15.22
They loved them so
much that I think they said
00:55:16.10\00:55:18.31
two of them saying
that's where when we got
00:55:18.32\00:55:19.92
to have to meet
the coordinating site.
00:55:19.93\00:55:23.11
Yes! The church
worked together to prepare
00:55:23.12\00:55:27.12
for the youth. We
had the 43 youth staying
00:55:27.13\00:55:29.67
in our school and
just our church had
00:55:29.68\00:55:33.72
40 to 50 people out
every Sabbath for the
00:55:35.14\00:55:37.28
training that
entire eight week training,
00:55:37.29\00:55:40.80
went out door to
door. Every single story
00:55:41.29\00:55:48.91
is an exciting story.
When we did the baptism
00:55:49.64\00:55:53.42
on Tuesday night
it was just electric.
00:55:53.43\00:55:55.07
We had around 500
people in the church.
00:55:55.57\00:55:57.64
You could just feel
the electricity in the air.
00:55:58.23\00:56:00.56
And as we were doing
the baptism I looked out
00:56:01.37\00:56:03.52
to everybody and I
said you know you aren't
00:56:03.53\00:56:06.18
getting the few of the
faces that I am getting
00:56:06.19\00:56:08.39
as they come up
out of the water.
00:56:08.40\00:56:09.80
Brenda who is going to
come out in a little bit,
00:56:11.28\00:56:12.92
when she came up all
the worry on her face
00:56:12.93\00:56:15.24
and her eyes were just
absolutely if they could
00:56:15.25\00:56:17.37
have been spot lights
they had been that bright.
00:56:17.38\00:56:19.35
She was so
excited. But I want to share
00:56:20.09\00:56:23.12
one special one.
And I debated on whether
00:56:23.13\00:56:28.20
embarrassing them or
not, but they are sitting
00:56:28.21\00:56:30.98
here tonight. And
the first person I got to
00:56:30.99\00:56:34.83
baptized and may be the
one that was the biggest
00:56:34.84\00:56:38.21
thrill for me was
George. Now George had been
00:56:38.22\00:56:41.34
Jehovah's Witness for 20 years,
00:56:41.89\00:56:43.48
and his wife was
our church treasurer
00:56:43.99\00:56:46.05
and he had been
coming to church for a lot of
00:56:46.06\00:56:48.39
years and the church
was praying, and praying.
00:56:48.40\00:56:50.72
I don't know, I think
the prayer has finally
00:56:51.08\00:56:54.48
stormed heaven and
God had to do something
00:56:55.10\00:56:57.86
because when this
young people came they touch
00:56:57.87\00:57:00.29
George's heart and
Tuesday he was baptized.
00:57:00.30\00:57:03.04
Amen! Amen.
00:57:03.05\00:57:05.21
Tremendous people are baptized.
00:57:13.99\00:57:15.58
We are looking forward
to see what the Lord does.
00:57:15.59\00:57:17.76
We also have several
people in Pewee Valley
00:57:17.77\00:57:19.87
that we are working with, yeah,
00:57:20.65\00:57:22.46
that smoking and
few other problems
00:57:22.47\00:57:24.89
but several of
them committed to that
00:57:25.43\00:57:30.16
they want to be
baptized as soon as we can work
00:57:30.17\00:57:32.81
through their
issues with them, amen.
00:57:32.82\00:57:34.77
Thank you Rich very much.
00:57:35.34\00:57:36.55
