Welcome to ASI
in Tampa, Florida.
00:01:01.79\00:01:04.19
We're so happy you're
here with us this evening.
00:01:04.23\00:01:06.70
I had opportunity
to meet several of you
00:01:06.73\00:01:08.96
who are here for the first time.
00:01:09.00\00:01:11.00
And I know that God
is going to pour out
00:01:11.03\00:01:13.17
a very special blessing
00:01:13.20\00:01:14.90
for each one of us this evening.
00:01:14.94\00:01:17.44
I'm gonna invite you to stand
00:01:17.47\00:01:18.81
as we have our
opening prayer this evening.
00:01:18.84\00:01:20.64
Father in heaven, we
are so thankful to You
00:01:24.81\00:01:27.02
for this opportunity to
come together into fellowship.
00:01:27.05\00:01:31.49
Lord, we want
to know you better.
00:01:31.52\00:01:33.56
Our theme for this
weekend 'By knowing Him...'
00:01:33.59\00:01:36.69
Lord, tonight we pray
00:01:36.73\00:01:38.06
for the presence
of the Holy Spirit.
00:01:38.09\00:01:40.23
We ask for the
power of the Holy Spirit
00:01:40.26\00:01:42.33
to be poured out upon each
one who will bring us a message.
00:01:42.36\00:01:45.83
And each song we sing and
each prayer that we offer,
00:01:45.87\00:01:48.47
may it be
acceptable in Your sight.
00:01:48.50\00:01:50.91
And this evening, we pause here
00:01:50.94\00:01:53.44
and thank You for bringing us
00:01:53.48\00:01:54.81
together safely and we
ask for traveling mercies
00:01:54.84\00:01:57.98
for those who are
still on their way.
00:01:58.01\00:02:00.65
And we thank You this evening
00:02:00.68\00:02:02.05
for hearing and
answering our prayers.
00:02:02.08\00:02:04.69
In Jesus name we pray, amen.
00:02:04.72\00:02:08.96
You may be seated.
00:02:08.99\00:02:10.33
Good evening and
welcome to our wonderful time
00:02:19.33\00:02:23.71
of fellowship with Jesus.
00:02:23.74\00:02:26.11
I hope and it is my prayer
that we will know Him better
00:02:26.14\00:02:31.35
by being here
for these few days.
00:02:31.38\00:02:34.02
It's so good to see all of you.
00:02:34.05\00:02:35.95
We're excited about what
God has in store for us here.
00:02:35.98\00:02:40.56
So thank you for
coming to warm sunny Florida.
00:02:40.59\00:02:46.03
Donna, can you believe that
ASI Convention is already here?
00:02:46.06\00:02:49.33
No, I can not.
What a year it has been.
00:02:49.36\00:02:52.07
We've traveled around the
world and we got exciting things
00:02:52.10\00:02:55.10
that we're gonna
be sharing with you.
00:02:55.14\00:02:56.87
There's so many
things to share this week
00:02:56.91\00:02:59.47
that we don't know
00:02:59.51\00:03:00.84
how we're gonna
get everything in,
00:03:00.88\00:03:02.21
but we know that we are
because God has promised
00:03:02.24\00:03:05.15
that He will
give us the blessing
00:03:05.18\00:03:06.51
just that we have come for
this week, won't He, Donna?
00:03:06.55\00:03:09.68
He absolutely will.
00:03:09.72\00:03:11.55
And we're just happy
that you are here with us.
00:03:11.59\00:03:14.62
And, Ron, are you excited
that we're here in Florida?
00:03:14.66\00:03:18.06
Exactly. I think Florida
is a great place to live.
00:03:18.09\00:03:21.53
The Lord is good.
00:03:21.56\00:03:22.90
You know, when the
world is falling apart,
00:03:22.93\00:03:24.27
we can yet see the blessings,
really pouring out in a manner
00:03:24.30\00:03:29.07
that is seemingly
more than ever before.
00:03:29.10\00:03:32.44
You know, Lord, I
think, is blessing His people
00:03:32.47\00:03:34.41
because we have a work to do,
00:03:34.44\00:03:36.24
a job to share
what he's all about.
00:03:36.28\00:03:39.55
That's right. We
all have a work to do.
00:03:39.58\00:03:41.95
We've all been
called to do something.
00:03:41.98\00:03:44.09
And we hope that you
will find that calling
00:03:44.12\00:03:47.42
and that God will speak
to you during our time here.
00:03:47.46\00:03:50.43
I know that we've got just
a little bit of announcements
00:03:50.46\00:03:53.26
that we want to tell
you about and that's why
00:03:53.29\00:03:55.40
Dwight is pulling a piece
of paper out of his pocket.
00:03:55.43\00:03:58.03
So tell us, Dwight,
what's on that list.
00:03:58.07\00:04:00.00
Well, I don't
want to miss anything.
00:04:00.04\00:04:01.60
And you know I
have a good memory,
00:04:01.64\00:04:03.14
but it's just short.
00:04:03.17\00:04:05.04
And so tonight, I
want to review with you
00:04:05.07\00:04:08.94
just a little bit
about our convention
00:04:08.98\00:04:11.41
and this
beautiful convention center.
00:04:11.45\00:04:13.65
Don't you love it? Amen.
00:04:13.68\00:04:15.02
It's really a
beautiful place, isn't it?
00:04:15.05\00:04:17.02
And it's so convenient for us.
00:04:17.05\00:04:18.75
And so I'm gonna tell you
just a little bit about it
00:04:18.79\00:04:21.76
so that you will
be apprised of what,
00:04:21.79\00:04:25.89
where you're going
and what you're doing.
00:04:25.93\00:04:27.93
First of all, remember that
00:04:27.96\00:04:29.80
we have wonderful
children's programs.
00:04:29.83\00:04:32.70
And those children's
programs are all the way down
00:04:32.73\00:04:35.24
on the first level.
00:04:35.27\00:04:37.61
If you go out of
here and down the steps
00:04:37.64\00:04:39.74
and down the escalators,
00:04:39.77\00:04:41.28
you will find the
children's programs.
00:04:41.31\00:04:43.51
Our seminars, which
will be tomorrow afternoon
00:04:43.55\00:04:47.52
or tomorrow
morning, tomorrow afternoon
00:04:47.55\00:04:49.42
and then Friday
morning and Friday afternoon
00:04:49.45\00:04:51.85
are also down on
that first level.
00:04:51.89\00:04:54.72
And so remember
those appointments,
00:04:54.76\00:04:57.06
look at your program,
00:04:57.09\00:04:58.46
and be able to be apprised
of what those seminars are.
00:04:58.49\00:05:03.70
And then, of course,
00:05:03.73\00:05:05.07
one of the most
important things is our meals.
00:05:05.10\00:05:08.64
How many of you want
to go meals tomorrow?
00:05:08.67\00:05:11.64
I know all of us
want to go to those meals.
00:05:11.67\00:05:15.11
When you go down
to the first level,
00:05:15.14\00:05:18.81
I would advice you to
go down the escalators
00:05:18.85\00:05:21.78
that are on this side of
the center of the building,
00:05:21.82\00:05:25.39
right outside these doors
00:05:25.42\00:05:27.76
because you will
need to start in the line
00:05:27.79\00:05:30.53
down at ballroom
D, and you will see
00:05:30.56\00:05:34.60
ropes and
stanchions along the way,
00:05:34.63\00:05:37.57
and you need to
be against the wall
00:05:37.60\00:05:39.97
inside those ropes
going down to ballroom A.
00:05:40.00\00:05:43.77
Where we're gonna be able
to serve our wonderful meals.
00:05:43.81\00:05:46.41
So just be sure that
you can find that way
00:05:46.44\00:05:50.51
and follow those
directions in that.
00:05:50.55\00:05:53.38
Our general
sessions, of course, are here.
00:05:53.42\00:05:55.98
Our exhibits are just
down the hallway in west hall.
00:05:56.02\00:06:01.19
And I want to say that, tonight,
00:06:01.22\00:06:03.53
right after the program
the exhibits will be opening.
00:06:03.56\00:06:07.03
They will be open
till 10.30 tonight.
00:06:07.06\00:06:09.16
And we encourage you to
go and see those exhibits.
00:06:09.20\00:06:12.87
Tomorrow from 11 to 5,
00:06:12.90\00:06:16.47
they will be open and then
tomorrow night, 9 to 10.30,
00:06:16.50\00:06:19.91
and the same thing on Friday.
00:06:19.94\00:06:21.61
And then Sabbath afternoon,
we'll have a couple of hours,
00:06:21.64\00:06:24.25
and then Saturday
night after the program.
00:06:24.28\00:06:27.32
Please go and see
those wonderful exhibits
00:06:27.35\00:06:30.49
because there are
so many ministries
00:06:30.52\00:06:32.09
and so many neat
things to do there.
00:06:32.12\00:06:34.32
Now when we're not having meals
00:06:34.36\00:06:38.29
there are some
concessions out there
00:06:38.33\00:06:40.40
and they're going to
have some good food for us.
00:06:40.43\00:06:43.30
But one of the
things that we ask
00:06:43.33\00:06:44.90
is that you not bring
any food into this auditorium
00:06:44.93\00:06:49.77
because it could get
00:06:49.80\00:06:51.31
a little bit messy, couldn't it?
00:06:51.34\00:06:53.31
So please don't bring the food
and any kind of sticky drinks.
00:06:53.34\00:06:56.88
If you have a bottle of
water, hey, that's okay.
00:06:56.91\00:07:01.68
The next thing
that I'd like to see is,
00:07:01.72\00:07:05.39
those who are here
for the very first time,
00:07:05.42\00:07:09.72
do we have any first timers?
00:07:09.76\00:07:11.43
I'm gonna ask you to stand.
00:07:11.46\00:07:12.96
We want to see who
these first timers are.
00:07:12.99\00:07:15.50
Hey, look at this.
00:07:15.53\00:07:18.10
Give them a hand. Yes.
00:07:18.13\00:07:21.50
Yes. First timers.
00:07:21.54\00:07:23.71
We are so excited
for you first timers.
00:07:23.74\00:07:26.68
So make this your
last. Stay standing.
00:07:26.71\00:07:28.04
Yes, please stand.
00:07:28.08\00:07:30.88
We want to...
00:07:30.91\00:07:32.48
First of all I want to, I
want to give you an invitation.
00:07:32.51\00:07:36.12
When you registered,
you should have received
00:07:36.15\00:07:38.15
a printed invitation to a
reception tomorrow, did you?
00:07:38.19\00:07:41.69
Good.
00:07:41.72\00:07:43.06
Reminder, that, that's 2
o'clock tomorrow afternoon
00:07:43.09\00:07:47.83
down in ballroom A.
00:07:47.86\00:07:49.63
We encourage every
first timer to be there.
00:07:49.66\00:07:52.97
Now those of us
who are around them,
00:07:53.00\00:07:56.81
we want our ASI members to stand
00:07:56.84\00:07:59.31
and to greet these folks
00:07:59.34\00:08:00.74
just briefly here
for our first timers.
00:08:00.78\00:08:03.55
Can we do that?
00:08:03.58\00:08:05.21
Everyone, give them
just a brief greeting.
00:08:05.25\00:08:10.09
We want you to have a
good warm Florida welcome.
00:08:10.12\00:08:13.02
You know this is thrilling
because what ASI is all about.
00:08:13.05\00:08:17.39
That's right. Is
seeing each other.
00:08:17.43\00:08:18.76
That's right.
00:08:18.79\00:08:20.13
And I've seen so
many, just faces light up
00:08:20.16\00:08:22.83
like they've won a big prize,
00:08:22.86\00:08:24.53
as they've seen
friends and acquaintances
00:08:24.57\00:08:27.10
and got an
acquainted with new people.
00:08:27.14\00:08:28.77
That's
wonderful. We're a family.
00:08:28.80\00:08:30.74
Thank you for joining our family
00:08:30.77\00:08:32.81
and we're happy to have you.
00:08:32.84\00:08:34.84
If we can do anything to
make it even better for you,
00:08:34.88\00:08:37.55
let us know.
00:08:37.58\00:08:39.05
I see that I'm
standing in between
00:08:39.08\00:08:41.78
two distinguished gentlemen,
00:08:41.82\00:08:44.39
and I enjoy being
with these men very much.
00:08:44.42\00:08:48.36
They are a
wonderful asset to ASI.
00:08:48.39\00:08:51.93
And I know some people
have had some questions about
00:08:51.96\00:08:54.43
what's going on with ASI.
00:08:54.46\00:08:56.53
And I can truly tell you
that God is in control of ASI.
00:08:56.56\00:09:00.80
Amen.
00:09:00.84\00:09:02.17
And I thank Him
everyday for that.
00:09:02.20\00:09:04.64
This last year, Ron decided
that he thought it was time.
00:09:04.67\00:09:09.61
And you know when you get
that phone call and he says,
00:09:09.64\00:09:12.31
"Donna, I think it's time."
00:09:12.35\00:09:13.68
I went, "Oh, I
don't want to hear this."
00:09:13.72\00:09:16.28
Anyway he said no goodbyes.
00:09:16.32\00:09:19.42
So, Dwight, first off, tell
me what you're doing with ASI?
00:09:19.45\00:09:24.23
Well, you know,
it was six years ago
00:09:24.26\00:09:25.83
just this week
that I retired from ASI
00:09:25.86\00:09:29.86
and last month, they asked me
00:09:29.90\00:09:31.57
if I would serve as the
interim secretary treasurer
00:09:31.60\00:09:34.47
for ASI, until we have
00:09:34.50\00:09:36.20
a permanent replacement for Ron.
00:09:36.24\00:09:38.24
And so it's my pleasure to
serve you during this time.
00:09:38.27\00:09:43.68
And, Ron,... Yes.
00:09:43.71\00:09:46.92
Thank you, Dwight.
00:09:46.95\00:09:49.42
And Ron has been a big
part of ASI for quite some time.
00:09:49.45\00:09:53.19
And so Debbie and my husband
00:09:53.22\00:09:55.79
who are two past
presidents of ASI
00:09:55.82\00:09:58.29
are here
celebrate Ron's ASI term.
00:09:58.33\00:10:02.10
And so I'm gonna
turn it over to Debbie.
00:10:02.13\00:10:05.67
Ron, we just
have something special
00:10:05.70\00:10:07.74
that we want to give to you.
00:10:07.77\00:10:09.67
And I would like to read
the inscription on this world,
00:10:09.70\00:10:13.81
this beautiful globe
because your touch has been felt
00:10:13.84\00:10:16.58
not just with ASI,
but around the world.
00:10:16.61\00:10:19.68
And you'll recognize the text
00:10:19.71\00:10:22.98
because it's your favorite text.
00:10:23.02\00:10:26.02
"For God has not
given us the spirit of fear,
00:10:26.05\00:10:29.32
but of power and of
love and of a sound mind."
00:10:29.36\00:10:32.96
2 Timothy 1:7.
00:10:32.99\00:10:34.86
Thank you for your years
of service to our ASI family.
00:10:34.90\00:10:39.03
God bless you and your family.
00:10:39.07\00:10:42.07
Well, thank you so much.
You know it's easy to cry.
00:10:42.10\00:10:44.97
At my age, I cry very easily.
00:10:45.01\00:10:47.94
Thank you so much.
00:10:47.98\00:10:49.98
Thank you, Ron.
00:10:50.01\00:10:51.35
Amen. Wasn't
that a beautiful song?
00:13:25.30\00:13:28.30
I don't know about
you, but whenever I hear
00:13:28.34\00:13:30.11
a group of trumpets,
00:13:30.14\00:13:31.77
I used to play the
trumpet, it makes me...
00:13:31.81\00:13:33.84
it stirs me to action.
00:13:33.88\00:13:35.64
And I really enjoyed that song.
00:13:35.68\00:13:38.95
We're at the time in our program
00:13:38.98\00:13:40.32
where we're going to be doing
00:13:40.35\00:13:41.68
our members in
action interviews.
00:13:41.72\00:13:43.59
And this is one
of the favorite parts
00:13:43.62\00:13:45.39
of the program for me personally
00:13:45.42\00:13:47.49
because we have the chance
to hear what you, as members,
00:13:47.52\00:13:51.23
are actually
doing in your businesses
00:13:51.26\00:13:53.13
to share Christ
in your market place.
00:13:53.16\00:13:55.43
So I want to get right to it.
00:13:55.46\00:13:56.80
I want to invite Manuel
and Esther Alva to come on out.
00:13:56.83\00:13:59.73
Good evening. Hi. Good evening.
00:14:05.14\00:14:06.88
Now Manuel and Esther,
you are both physicians.
00:14:06.91\00:14:10.35
Esther, I believe that you are,
00:14:10.38\00:14:12.45
have a specialty
of infectious disease.
00:14:12.48\00:14:14.85
Manuel, you are a
gastroenterologist, correct?
00:14:14.88\00:14:17.52
Now you have a
practice in Illinois,
00:14:17.55\00:14:21.32
I believe it's in Berwyn.
00:14:21.36\00:14:22.82
And just recently you
decided that you wanted
00:14:22.86\00:14:25.19
to get more
involved and use your,
00:14:25.23\00:14:27.86
your practice to share
Christ in your market place.
00:14:27.90\00:14:30.57
Tell us a little bit about that.
00:14:30.60\00:14:31.93
Well, there's a group
out of ASI called AMEN,
00:14:31.97\00:14:36.64
Adventist Medical
Evangelism Network.
00:14:36.67\00:14:38.97
We became members of
that because we were invited
00:14:39.01\00:14:42.11
and we saw our
friends and colleagues
00:14:42.14\00:14:45.25
giving testimonies of
how God was using them
00:14:45.28\00:14:47.58
to start churches.
00:14:47.62\00:14:49.32
There's a
dentists, there's Dr. Wiley
00:14:49.35\00:14:50.85
who has had a church of
his own for 10, 15 years.
00:14:50.89\00:14:54.09
So this inspired you? Right.
00:14:54.12\00:14:55.92
We didn't know where to start.
00:14:55.96\00:14:57.29
We say, well, I, I just
have a scope, I scope people.
00:14:57.33\00:15:01.06
What a way to give
the gospel, I guess...
00:15:01.10\00:15:02.93
That's a little
tough, huh? It's a way.
00:15:02.96\00:15:05.50
You don't tend to make a
lot of friends, but I ask God,
00:15:05.53\00:15:08.77
'God help me, please.
I want to do your will.
00:15:08.80\00:15:11.67
I want to really be
a in the market place.
00:15:11.71\00:15:14.58
And God really showed
through because out of nothing,
00:15:14.61\00:15:20.42
out of the patients
that we made friends with
00:15:20.45\00:15:22.48
and had trouble with
00:15:22.52\00:15:23.85
and we tried to
give Bible studies.
00:15:23.89\00:15:26.76
A pastor, a fellow
that has pastoral training,
00:15:26.79\00:15:29.99
but he's actually a substance,
a drug abuse counselor
00:15:30.03\00:15:33.53
offered to come and help
00:15:33.56\00:15:34.90
with some of the alcoholics
that are in the practice.
00:15:34.93\00:15:37.07
So the Lord brought
some one into your life
00:15:37.10\00:15:39.83
that could help be a catalyst,
00:15:39.87\00:15:41.20
to help you use your
business as a mission outpost.
00:15:41.24\00:15:45.24
There's several doctors,
00:15:45.27\00:15:46.61
I have partnership
with pastors at AMEN
00:15:46.64\00:15:49.68
and they were taking
about that last year.
00:15:49.71\00:15:51.58
So I said, "Where
do I get a pastor?
00:15:51.61\00:15:54.25
God, send the pastor."
00:15:54.28\00:15:55.62
Well, this fellow
showed in and I thought,
00:15:55.65\00:15:58.62
"I'm gonna give
him a tough case."
00:15:58.65\00:15:59.99
This is a man that's now
my personal friend, a patient,
00:16:00.02\00:16:02.66
a personal friend
that has not been able
00:16:02.69\00:16:05.56
to stop using
alcohol and drugs for years.
00:16:05.59\00:16:08.26
He had a good career and
now he's not doing too well.
00:16:08.30\00:16:11.63
I said, "Why don't
you get a hold of him?"
00:16:11.67\00:16:13.67
Actually we tried
to give this fellow
00:16:13.70\00:16:15.20
Bible studies a while ago.
00:16:15.24\00:16:16.57
Okay.
00:16:16.60\00:16:17.94
But he thought
that was too funny.
00:16:17.97\00:16:19.31
He has a great...
00:16:19.34\00:16:20.68
He has a great sense
of humor according to him.
00:16:20.71\00:16:22.64
He always cut
Bible studies short,
00:16:22.68\00:16:24.51
we couldn't finish one.
00:16:24.55\00:16:25.88
Sure.
00:16:25.91\00:16:27.25
So I told Roberto, the
pastor, "Take care of him."
00:16:27.28\00:16:30.29
And we started praying,
00:16:30.32\00:16:31.65
and Roberto started
praying and visited him at home.
00:16:31.69\00:16:34.59
Accompany, make him
accompany to all churches
00:16:34.62\00:16:37.83
to see what
happened in the churches.
00:16:37.86\00:16:40.90
At the first instance
that he had and ask him,
00:16:40.93\00:16:43.30
"Do you really, do you
really want to stop drinking?"
00:16:43.33\00:16:46.00
And my friend said, "Yes."
00:16:46.03\00:16:47.74
I said, "Well, we're gonna
ask God, and you're gonna go
00:16:47.77\00:16:49.94
to every church that we
visited and you're gonna say,
00:16:49.97\00:16:52.27
'God is helping me.
00:16:52.31\00:16:53.74
This week God has
helped me to stop drinking.'
00:16:53.78\00:16:55.78
"So after they visited
three or four churches,
00:16:55.81\00:16:58.51
he accepted Bible studies.
00:16:58.55\00:17:00.35
He was silent enough to go
through all the Bible studies.
00:17:00.38\00:17:03.49
Wow.
00:17:03.52\00:17:04.85
He has made a
commitment to baptism now.
00:17:04.89\00:17:06.96
Just this week. Yeah.
00:17:06.99\00:17:08.32
Just this week he's
made a decision for baptism.
00:17:08.36\00:17:10.29
That is a tremendous blessing.
00:17:10.33\00:17:12.23
Now I believe and
Esther, I want to come to you
00:17:12.26\00:17:14.50
and ask you this question.
00:17:14.53\00:17:16.33
Your office is
now open on Saturdays.
00:17:16.36\00:17:19.17
Tell me a little bit about that.
00:17:19.20\00:17:20.84
Yes.
00:17:20.87\00:17:22.20
God has blessed us in
that, we got permission,
00:17:22.24\00:17:25.64
actually my
husband got permission
00:17:25.67\00:17:27.11
from the administration
and they said yes.
00:17:27.14\00:17:29.54
Since the office is not
being used on Saturdays,
00:17:29.58\00:17:32.25
you have the entire waiting room
00:17:32.28\00:17:34.58
which holds
about 40 to 60 chairs,
00:17:34.62\00:17:37.65
people can sit there
00:17:37.69\00:17:39.02
and listen to
the word of the God
00:17:39.05\00:17:42.72
and also seminars on health.
00:17:42.76\00:17:44.79
So we have now a mini church.
00:17:44.83\00:17:48.16
So you are actually...
00:17:48.20\00:17:49.53
You founded a church
that you're running out of
00:17:49.56\00:17:51.70
your waiting
room, is that right?
00:17:51.73\00:17:54.14
In your business?
Can you say amen to that?
00:17:54.17\00:17:56.60
Amen. What a
blessing. What a blessing.
00:17:56.64\00:17:59.37
Let me ask you
one last question.
00:17:59.41\00:18:01.34
There maybe other
business professionals
00:18:01.38\00:18:02.84
that are out in our audience
00:18:02.88\00:18:04.21
that are thinking or
considering using their,
00:18:04.25\00:18:07.55
their business as
a mission platform.
00:18:07.58\00:18:09.78
What would you say to them?
00:18:09.82\00:18:11.42
I would say
something very simple.
00:18:11.45\00:18:13.32
Get hold of Chuck Cleveland.
00:18:13.36\00:18:15.49
And what is his
ministry, health of?
00:18:15.52\00:18:17.76
Her, H-E-R.
00:18:17.79\00:18:19.69
Yeah. It's...
00:18:19.73\00:18:21.06
Chuck Cleveland is
probably here or he will be here
00:18:21.10\00:18:22.83
or he's in the exhibits.
00:18:22.86\00:18:24.30
He has wonderful posters,
00:18:24.33\00:18:25.80
the posters for the health expos
00:18:25.83\00:18:28.07
that are all over Europe.
00:18:28.10\00:18:29.60
You can buy those and you can
put them in your waiting room.
00:18:29.64\00:18:32.47
Those are a mean...
00:18:32.51\00:18:34.08
Those are means, powerful
means to give the message.
00:18:34.11\00:18:36.34
They have wonderful
pictures, versus from the Bible,
00:18:36.38\00:18:39.21
quotes from the
Script of Prophecy,
00:18:39.25\00:18:41.18
the eight natural
remedies are there.
00:18:41.22\00:18:42.58
So we...
00:18:42.62\00:18:43.95
The first thing we did
before all this started,
00:18:43.99\00:18:45.32
we put all these
posters on the waiting room
00:18:45.35\00:18:48.19
that belongs to the hospital
00:18:48.22\00:18:49.56
and then in our
own waiting room.
00:18:49.59\00:18:50.99
And we put up large screen,
00:18:51.03\00:18:53.23
we got these
videos from Edgemon video,
00:18:53.26\00:18:56.20
who's also in the exhibits,
00:18:56.23\00:18:58.23
wonderful music
and beautiful nature,
00:18:58.27\00:19:01.50
and everyone that sat there
00:19:01.54\00:19:04.67
had a probable
effect in their hearts.
00:19:04.71\00:19:07.71
These people walk
in the office and says,
00:19:07.74\00:19:09.64
"This is wonderful.
I already feel well."
00:19:09.68\00:19:12.21
I say, "Well, you
got a colonoscopy anyway,
00:19:12.25\00:19:14.18
but it's okay."
00:19:14.22\00:19:16.62
Well, that's cool.
00:19:16.65\00:19:17.99
It sounds like you both
have really been blessed
00:19:18.02\00:19:20.62
by being able to
use your practice
00:19:20.66\00:19:22.79
as a way to witness
in your marketplace.
00:19:22.82\00:19:25.26
Thank you so very,
very much. Thank you.
00:19:25.29\00:19:27.20
We'd like to go ahead and
ask the Carneys to come out
00:19:27.23\00:19:30.67
if they would,
Sean and Linda Carney.
00:19:30.70\00:19:34.70
The Carneys have
a medical practice,
00:19:34.74\00:19:36.91
I believe in Buda,
Texas, is that right?
00:19:36.94\00:19:39.31
Buda. Okay, Buda.
00:19:39.34\00:19:41.38
We're gonna get
the name right here.
00:19:41.41\00:19:43.14
You just recently
had something happen,
00:19:43.18\00:19:45.11
and I want to come to you,
Sean, with the first question.
00:19:45.15\00:19:47.45
You recently
had something happen
00:19:47.48\00:19:48.85
that made you decide
that maybe you should consider
00:19:48.88\00:19:50.65
going on a medical mission trip.
00:19:50.69\00:19:52.85
Tell us about that.
00:19:52.89\00:19:54.22
Well, my wife,
actually, made me decide
00:19:54.26\00:19:56.29
that I might want to go
on a medical mission trip.
00:19:56.32\00:19:59.39
Okay.
00:19:59.43\00:20:02.23
We went to the AMEN Conference
00:20:02.26\00:20:05.07
which is Adventist
Medical Evangelism Network.
00:20:05.10\00:20:08.10
And my wife has a
very interesting story
00:20:08.14\00:20:10.14
how God made it very clear
00:20:10.17\00:20:12.21
that He had a plan for us to
go on a medical mission trip.
00:20:12.24\00:20:16.01
What happened, Linda?
00:20:16.04\00:20:17.71
I was talking to a colleague
who was encouraging me to go.
00:20:17.75\00:20:21.72
I had never been on a
first mission trip before.
00:20:21.75\00:20:24.29
And I had all
excuses why I couldn't go.
00:20:24.32\00:20:27.09
And he said, "Here's a $1,000,
00:20:27.12\00:20:30.09
this will help you
with your expenses."
00:20:30.13\00:20:31.93
And I was just
very touched by that.
00:20:31.96\00:20:34.33
And I was, later in the day,
00:20:34.36\00:20:35.70
telling another
colleague about that
00:20:35.73\00:20:37.57
and he says, "Oh, $1,000.
00:20:37.60\00:20:39.03
Here's another $1,000."
00:20:39.07\00:20:40.67
Now you have the money
00:20:40.70\00:20:42.04
that you need to go
on the mission trip.
00:20:42.07\00:20:44.07
So maybe the Lord was
trying to prod you a little bit
00:20:44.11\00:20:46.34
and tell you, hey, you
need to, you need to do this.
00:20:46.37\00:20:48.24
Very much so.
00:20:48.28\00:20:49.61
Now you've had
some specific, kind of,
00:20:49.64\00:20:51.98
criteria for you to do this.
00:20:52.01\00:20:53.38
Tell us about that.
00:20:53.42\00:20:55.08
I wanted to have some
construction as part of it.
00:20:55.12\00:20:59.75
I wanted to have evangelistic
outreach as part of it.
00:20:59.79\00:21:03.43
I wanted to be able to serve
indigent people who are needy.
00:21:03.46\00:21:07.70
I wanted to be able
to practice my Spanish
00:21:07.73\00:21:09.36
and get better at that.
00:21:09.40\00:21:10.73
Cool.
00:21:10.77\00:21:12.10
Now was it just the
two of you that went, Sean?
00:21:12.13\00:21:14.90
We actually took our
three medical assistants
00:21:14.94\00:21:17.94
from our office who are
not Seventh-day Adventists
00:21:17.97\00:21:20.91
and who had a
wonderful experience.
00:21:20.94\00:21:23.55
Okay. So it wasn't
just the two of you.
00:21:23.58\00:21:25.15
You decided to really commit
00:21:25.18\00:21:26.51
to this as part
of your practice.
00:21:26.55\00:21:28.02
And you decided to take your
employees along with you, okay.
00:21:28.05\00:21:30.95
Now what was it...
00:21:30.99\00:21:32.32
Once you got down, you
had your employees as well.
00:21:32.35\00:21:33.96
How did you set up your clinic
00:21:33.99\00:21:35.46
and how did you
handle treatments?
00:21:35.49\00:21:37.59
How did you help the
people? What is it that you did?
00:21:37.63\00:21:39.66
We were very privileged
to work with Peru Projects
00:21:39.69\00:21:42.43
which has recently
come into the leadership
00:21:42.46\00:21:44.23
of Outpost
Centers International.
00:21:44.27\00:21:46.40
And our staff...
00:21:46.43\00:21:50.21
There were makeshift,
little clinics, dirt floors
00:21:50.24\00:21:53.84
and some with no walls
00:21:53.88\00:21:55.54
and our staff
just swung into action
00:21:55.58\00:21:58.25
and they took vital signs
and gathered chief complaints,
00:21:58.28\00:22:02.92
and then they went to me
and then they went to Sean,
00:22:02.95\00:22:08.62
he was the last
bit in our clinic.
00:22:08.66\00:22:10.63
We saw 50 to 80 patients a day.
00:22:10.66\00:22:12.76
Our staff loved it.
00:22:12.79\00:22:14.20
We were thrilled to be
able to serve people so needy.
00:22:14.23\00:22:16.73
How many days
were you down there?
00:22:16.77\00:22:18.10
Twelve.
00:22:18.13\00:22:19.47
Twelve days and you were
seeing around 80 patients a day.
00:22:19.50\00:22:21.34
Fifty to eighty. Fifty
to eighty patients. Wow.
00:22:21.37\00:22:24.04
Now you've had some
special diet related advice
00:22:24.07\00:22:27.24
that you would give the people.
00:22:27.28\00:22:28.61
Tell us about that.
00:22:28.64\00:22:29.98
Well, we were seeing
people Pucallpa, Peru,
00:22:30.01\00:22:33.25
in the Amazon jungles.
00:22:33.28\00:22:34.78
We were
traveling on a mission boat
00:22:34.82\00:22:36.89
called the Launch,
00:22:36.92\00:22:38.25
up and down a
tributary of the Amazon River.
00:22:38.29\00:22:40.59
And people there eat
monkey, and have Elaenia,
00:22:40.62\00:22:44.43
and Egret, and other things.
00:22:44.46\00:22:46.59
And so I was able
to tell the people
00:22:46.63\00:22:49.86
that there were better things
00:22:49.90\00:22:51.50
that they could
eat from the diet
00:22:51.53\00:22:53.20
that they had available to them.
00:22:53.23\00:22:54.70
So you found some strange things
00:22:54.74\00:22:56.17
that they were eating
and you were trying to,
00:22:56.20\00:22:57.81
to help them maybe
chose a bit of a better diet.
00:22:57.84\00:23:00.81
Now, Sean, you had a special job
00:23:00.84\00:23:03.41
as part of what you did.
00:23:03.45\00:23:04.78
Tell us, tell us
what your job was?
00:23:04.81\00:23:06.72
I was pharmacist.
00:23:06.75\00:23:08.48
And you've had a lot
of training for this,
00:23:08.52\00:23:09.85
of course, right?
00:23:09.88\00:23:11.22
I've learned my ABC's
and I could alphabetize
00:23:11.25\00:23:14.09
and read what was on
the paper and hand it out.
00:23:14.12\00:23:17.73
So...
00:23:17.76\00:23:19.09
and there was something
else that you gave them as well,
00:23:19.13\00:23:21.60
besides just the prescription
that Linda would give you.
00:23:21.63\00:23:24.47
What else did you give them?
00:23:24.50\00:23:25.83
Well, as they
were coming to my wife
00:23:25.87\00:23:28.84
and she was doing all
of her work in Spanish
00:23:28.87\00:23:31.81
and she would ask them if they
like to read and if they did,
00:23:31.84\00:23:34.41
she would ask them if
they wanted a book about Christ
00:23:34.44\00:23:36.71
and they would
take steps to Christ.
00:23:36.75\00:23:38.51
And so then I would, in Spanish,
00:23:38.55\00:23:40.62
know what had happened
and so I would tell them
00:23:40.65\00:23:43.08
that this pill is
once in the morning
00:23:43.12\00:23:45.29
and once at night
00:23:45.32\00:23:46.65
and this book is
once in the morning
00:23:46.69\00:23:48.92
and once at night.
00:23:48.96\00:23:50.69
A great
prescription, right? Amen.
00:23:50.73\00:23:53.26
Can you say amen?
00:23:53.29\00:23:55.36
Now let me ask you this, Linda.
00:23:55.40\00:23:57.93
How did the medical clinic
00:23:57.97\00:23:59.83
that you were doing
compliment the evangelism
00:23:59.87\00:24:02.17
that was going on on the trip?
00:24:02.20\00:24:04.27
This was my
favorite thing to see.
00:24:04.31\00:24:06.47
There was a pastor who is
part of the mission launch,
00:24:06.51\00:24:08.98
and when I would draw the crowd,
00:24:09.01\00:24:11.35
they would come to see
the North American doctor,
00:24:11.38\00:24:13.62
the pastor with his picture roll
00:24:13.65\00:24:15.18
was out there working the crowd
00:24:15.22\00:24:16.72
and, you know,
it takes a long time
00:24:16.75\00:24:18.09
to get through
80 patients a day.
00:24:18.12\00:24:19.45
And so...
00:24:19.49\00:24:20.82
and the staff would
talk with the children,
00:24:20.86\00:24:22.69
play with the children
00:24:22.72\00:24:24.06
and so we were making
friends during the day.
00:24:24.09\00:24:25.53
In the evening, we had
meetings in different villages
00:24:25.56\00:24:28.76
and I would give
a little health talk
00:24:28.80\00:24:30.43
and we would be
there among them.
00:24:30.47\00:24:32.43
And the rest of our team,
there were 18 people total,
00:24:32.47\00:24:35.47
and the rest of them
were building a church
00:24:35.50\00:24:37.94
in Nueva Era and
that is completed
00:24:37.97\00:24:42.64
basically in about 12
days, they built a church.
00:24:42.68\00:24:46.35
Wow.
00:24:46.38\00:24:47.72
So as you look back on
this experience that you've had.
00:24:47.75\00:24:51.95
What has the trip
done for you spiritually?
00:24:51.99\00:24:54.52
And what would you say to others
00:24:54.56\00:24:55.89
that are
considering a mission trip?
00:24:55.92\00:24:57.63
It was the trip of a lifetime.
00:24:57.66\00:24:59.46
My staff got to
eat with new friends
00:24:59.49\00:25:03.80
who were Adventists.
00:25:03.83\00:25:05.17
They got to worship with them,
00:25:05.20\00:25:06.80
travel with them, bond with them
00:25:06.84\00:25:09.24
that in itself was a
wonderful thing for my staff.
00:25:09.27\00:25:12.54
They described
the trip as awesome.
00:25:12.57\00:25:14.81
And for me it was a
faith building venture.
00:25:14.84\00:25:17.91
I had a criteria when I
talked to Steven Grabner
00:25:17.95\00:25:22.05
who helped me to
commit to this trip.
00:25:22.08\00:25:25.09
I said, "Okay, I don't
want to be the only doctor."
00:25:25.12\00:25:27.39
Well, that didn't happen.
00:25:27.42\00:25:28.76
And then "I don't
want to lead and organize.
00:25:28.79\00:25:30.13
This is my first mission trip."
00:25:30.16\00:25:31.49
Well, that didn't happen,
but the Lord comes through.
00:25:31.53\00:25:33.29
You step out in
faith and the Lord...
00:25:33.33\00:25:35.20
We can never out give Him.
00:25:35.23\00:25:37.07
This brought us so much joy.
00:25:37.10\00:25:39.23
We've got to go back next June.
00:25:39.27\00:25:40.80
And the patients, my patients
want to come with me and I say,
00:25:40.84\00:25:45.21
"You want to
eat vegetarian food?
00:25:45.24\00:25:46.78
You want to
preach Christ in a place
00:25:46.81\00:25:50.25
where you're
gonna be sweating 24/7,
00:25:50.28\00:25:52.45
you want to do that with me?"
00:25:52.48\00:25:53.82
And they say, "Doctor,
please take us with you."
00:25:53.85\00:25:55.95
And so I'm thinking about
it, and I'm also thinking about
00:25:55.98\00:25:59.45
a new scholarship fund,
00:25:59.49\00:26:01.39
I haven't talked to
the leadership at AMEN,
00:26:01.42\00:26:03.46
so I need their permission,
but I would like to put that
00:26:03.49\00:26:06.80
$2,000 into a scholarship fund
00:26:06.83\00:26:09.26
to lend out to other
dentists and physicians
00:26:09.30\00:26:11.80
who are thinking about
going on mission trips.
00:26:11.83\00:26:13.90
So we can have a revolving
fund and I'd like to call it
00:26:13.94\00:26:16.54
the Becker Cat
Memorial Scholarship Fund.
00:26:16.57\00:26:18.84
Wow.
00:26:18.87\00:26:20.21
Well, it sounds like you
recommend it quite highly.
00:26:20.24\00:26:22.34
All right, thank
you so very much.
00:26:22.38\00:26:24.08
I appreciate that.
00:26:24.11\00:26:25.45
I would like to call
Denny and Mary Jo James out.
00:26:25.48\00:26:29.38
Now it's not very often
00:26:32.79\00:26:34.59
that you get to
interview your cousins.
00:26:34.62\00:26:37.06
But these, these young people
happened to be my cousins.
00:26:37.09\00:26:41.90
And I'm very happy that
I'm able to do that today.
00:26:41.93\00:26:45.03
Denny, let me ask
you the first question.
00:26:45.07\00:26:48.44
You're from Cleveland,
Texas. You're in high school.
00:26:48.47\00:26:51.47
This is, I believe,
00:26:51.51\00:26:52.84
your third Youth for
Jesus meeting, right?
00:26:52.87\00:26:55.54
Yes.
00:26:55.58\00:26:56.91
And why do you keep coming back?
00:26:56.95\00:26:59.91
Well, Youth for Jesus is just
an awesome experience for me.
00:26:59.95\00:27:04.45
I just love how, in the program,
00:27:04.49\00:27:06.35
they teach us all
these witnessing tools,
00:27:06.39\00:27:08.92
you know, they really equip us.
00:27:08.96\00:27:11.39
And then, not only
that, they take us out
00:27:11.43\00:27:14.16
and give us an opportunity
00:27:14.20\00:27:15.53
to use all of these
things that they've given us.
00:27:15.56\00:27:18.53
And every year I've just
come into a closer relationship
00:27:18.57\00:27:22.27
with Jesus through witnessing.
00:27:22.30\00:27:24.14
So... Amen.
00:27:24.17\00:27:25.87
Tell me, Denny,
what does a typical day
00:27:25.91\00:27:28.08
consist of in the
Youth for Jesus program?
00:27:28.11\00:27:31.21
Well, about every
day, we get up at 7 o'clock
00:27:31.25\00:27:35.82
and we have our
devotions, we get our shower,
00:27:35.85\00:27:39.95
you know, all of
our hygiene done.
00:27:39.99\00:27:43.56
At 8, we have breakfast,
and then from 9 to 10,
00:27:43.59\00:27:48.93
we have a
special worship service.
00:27:48.96\00:27:51.27
We've had a lot of
big people come in.
00:27:51.30\00:27:54.24
We've had Shawn Boonstra.
00:27:54.27\00:27:56.17
Several years we had Mark
and Teenie Finley come in.
00:27:56.20\00:28:00.61
And after the worship
service, then we have classes
00:28:00.64\00:28:04.41
that train us on
how to do evangelism.
00:28:04.45\00:28:09.05
One day, we had Shawn Boonstra
teach a class on door knocking,
00:28:09.08\00:28:12.79
that was really awesome.
00:28:12.82\00:28:15.16
And after our classes,
00:28:15.19\00:28:17.13
we do some work
around our school
00:28:17.16\00:28:20.33
that we're staying at.
00:28:20.36\00:28:21.96
And after that,
we have our lunch
00:28:22.00\00:28:24.60
and then we separate
00:28:24.63\00:28:25.97
and go to our different
churches to do outreach.
00:28:26.00\00:28:28.57
Now you had told me
a specific story about
00:28:28.60\00:28:30.37
the church you were...
00:28:30.41\00:28:31.74
I believe it was
Carrollton, right?
00:28:31.77\00:28:33.11
Is that the
church you're gonna...
00:28:33.14\00:28:34.48
Carolwood. Carolwood, I'm sorry.
00:28:34.51\00:28:35.84
Carolwood.
00:28:35.88\00:28:37.21
And there was,
00:28:37.25\00:28:38.58
there was someone
that had a dream there.
00:28:38.61\00:28:39.95
Tell me that story quickly.
00:28:39.98\00:28:41.32
All right, well, we
have these two contacts,
00:28:41.35\00:28:44.45
their name is John and Sherry.
00:28:44.49\00:28:46.09
And Sherry actually had
a dream given to her by God
00:28:46.12\00:28:49.52
to help her understand
some things from the Bible.
00:28:49.56\00:28:52.89
And my good friend Byron
00:28:52.93\00:28:55.16
is one of the
speakers at our site
00:28:55.20\00:28:57.53
and he has this book
101 Questions Answered.
00:28:57.57\00:29:01.80
It's put out by
associated press.
00:29:01.84\00:29:04.17
And, you know, he
used that to help answer
00:29:04.21\00:29:06.51
some of the questions
00:29:06.54\00:29:08.14
from the
audience for the sermons.
00:29:08.18\00:29:10.71
And she was, she had a dream
00:29:10.75\00:29:12.45
where she saw this
book, is that right?
00:29:12.48\00:29:14.98
Yeah. One night she had a dream.
00:29:15.02\00:29:18.05
She had never
seen this book before,
00:29:18.09\00:29:20.32
but in this dream
she saw some plants
00:29:20.36\00:29:23.43
and after these plants,
00:29:23.46\00:29:24.79
she saw Byron reading this book,
00:29:24.83\00:29:27.30
101 Questions Answered
put out by associated press.
00:29:27.33\00:29:31.63
And somehow in this
dream she had this feeling
00:29:31.67\00:29:34.60
that this book
would help her understand
00:29:34.64\00:29:37.61
some of the
questions that she had.
00:29:37.64\00:29:40.18
So what did she do
when she saw Byron?
00:29:40.21\00:29:42.31
She saw Byron and she said,
00:29:42.34\00:29:43.95
"Wow, I had this dream
about you. It was weird."
00:29:43.98\00:29:47.62
And Byron said, "Oh, really?
00:29:47.65\00:29:49.32
You know, what
happened in your dream?"
00:29:49.35\00:29:52.52
And she
explained what had happened
00:29:52.55\00:29:54.66
and he said, "No
way, I have that book.
00:29:54.69\00:29:57.93
So he went and showed it to her,
00:29:57.96\00:29:59.83
he says, "Is this the book?"
00:29:59.86\00:30:01.33
She said, "That
is the exact book
00:30:01.36\00:30:03.03
I saw in my dream."
00:30:03.06\00:30:05.07
And he said, "Well,
here, let me give it to you."
00:30:05.10\00:30:08.54
And she said, "Well, in my dream
00:30:08.57\00:30:10.21
I saw you writing in the book."
00:30:10.24\00:30:12.17
He said, "Well,
here, just a second,
00:30:12.21\00:30:13.58
let me write in it for you."
00:30:13.61\00:30:16.68
So he wrote her a
little message in there
00:30:16.71\00:30:19.45
and then gave her the
book and she was just so happy.
00:30:19.48\00:30:22.35
So it's amazing to see
how the Lord would give her
00:30:22.38\00:30:24.42
a dream and a direction
for this book that he had,
00:30:24.45\00:30:27.06
that he was able to give her
00:30:27.09\00:30:28.42
that might help
answer some of the questions.
00:30:28.46\00:30:29.79
Isn't that an amazing story?
00:30:29.82\00:30:31.56
Mary Jo, let me come to you.
00:30:31.59\00:30:32.93
I think, your role
was a little bit different
00:30:32.96\00:30:34.63
than Denny's in Youth for Jesus.
00:30:34.66\00:30:37.27
Tell me what you would
do in a typical day quickly.
00:30:37.30\00:30:40.34
Okay.
00:30:40.37\00:30:41.70
My role in Youth for Jesus
was a little bit different.
00:30:41.74\00:30:44.61
I was a Bible
worker at one of the sites.
00:30:44.64\00:30:48.44
I arrived at the
beginning of June
00:30:48.48\00:30:50.71
and we would go and
we would make contacts
00:30:50.75\00:30:53.28
with the people
and give Bible studies
00:30:53.31\00:30:55.85
and kind of, prepare the area
00:30:55.88\00:30:57.25
for the Youth for Jesus program.
00:30:57.29\00:30:59.02
And once the
youth actually got here,
00:30:59.05\00:31:01.06
we would take them door to door,
00:31:01.09\00:31:02.72
and we would take
them and teach them
00:31:02.76\00:31:04.16
how to give Bible studies
and how to knock on doors,
00:31:04.19\00:31:07.00
basically how to do evangelism.
00:31:07.03\00:31:08.56
And our day would
consist of, we would do
00:31:08.60\00:31:10.77
what we needed to
do in the morning.
00:31:10.80\00:31:12.17
We would go and visit contacts
and then in the afternoon
00:31:12.20\00:31:15.00
we would take the youth out
and we would do it with them.
00:31:15.04\00:31:18.34
Now I attended the Youth
for Jesus baptism last night
00:31:18.37\00:31:21.44
and I watched as the
entire Youth for Jesus group
00:31:21.48\00:31:25.18
kind of clustered
close to the baptismal tank
00:31:25.21\00:31:28.18
and watched as
each one of the people
00:31:28.22\00:31:29.62
was lowered in the water
and committed their lives
00:31:29.65\00:31:32.02
publicly to Christ.
00:31:32.05\00:31:33.39
As you were watching
that, how did it make you feel?
00:31:33.42\00:31:35.49
There is nothing like
it. It is absolutely amazing.
00:31:35.52\00:31:38.43
Especially for people
that you've been working with
00:31:38.46\00:31:41.56
and for, for all these
months, all these weeks
00:31:41.60\00:31:45.17
to see the final result of that,
00:31:45.20\00:31:47.14
there is nothing
like that feeling.
00:31:47.17\00:31:48.60
Just to see them make
that full commitment to Jesus.
00:31:48.64\00:31:51.27
There's nothing like it.
00:31:51.31\00:31:52.64
It's so amazing. Amen.
00:31:52.67\00:31:54.08
How has Youth for Jesus
00:31:54.11\00:31:55.44
changed the direction
of your life, Mary Jo?
00:31:55.48\00:31:58.35
Wow.
00:31:58.38\00:31:59.71
I went to Youth for Jesus,
my first time in Dallas, Texas,
00:31:59.75\00:32:03.28
and since then
just God has opened
00:32:03.32\00:32:05.32
so many doors in my life.
00:32:05.35\00:32:06.96
It's just completely
altered where it was going,
00:32:06.99\00:32:10.29
and where I
even wanted it to go.
00:32:10.33\00:32:13.53
I had no
interest in God whatsoever
00:32:13.56\00:32:16.00
before I went my first year.
00:32:16.03\00:32:19.03
And it just really
turned things around for me
00:32:19.07\00:32:21.47
and now, like,
00:32:21.50\00:32:23.17
I have a relationship
with Jesus, it's amazing.
00:32:23.20\00:32:25.54
Can you say amen to that? Amen.
00:32:25.57\00:32:27.54
Thank you so much, guys.
00:32:27.58\00:32:29.58
We've got a crew
coming up for our next group.
00:32:29.61\00:32:32.11
It's the, the L.I.F.E
group with Ken Norton.
00:32:32.15\00:32:34.58
So I would like to
invite them to come on up.
00:32:34.62\00:32:36.99
Ken, welcome. Thank you.
00:32:41.89\00:32:44.36
We'll get the
whole crew on here.
00:32:44.39\00:32:46.26
While we're all waiting
for them to come on, let me...
00:32:46.29\00:32:48.23
Ken, you just returned recently
00:32:48.26\00:32:49.60
from the mission
field, isn't that right?
00:32:49.63\00:32:51.33
That's correct.
00:32:51.37\00:32:52.70
And you have
decided to throw your time
00:32:52.73\00:32:56.07
and energy into L.I.F.E.
00:32:56.10\00:32:57.61
Tell me, if you can
in, kind of, one sentence,
00:32:57.64\00:33:00.11
what it is that L.I.F.E does?
00:33:00.14\00:33:02.08
I was just thinking
that L.I.F.E is one year old
00:33:02.11\00:33:05.31
this week because it
was launched last ASI.
00:33:05.35\00:33:07.75
And it's an ASI
operated lay training school
00:33:07.78\00:33:10.89
that has started
in Orlando, Florida.
00:33:10.92\00:33:13.46
And L.I.F.E. stands for the
Lay Institute for Evangelism.
00:33:13.49\00:33:16.22
For evangelism.
00:33:16.26\00:33:17.59
Now you have a curriculum
called Operation Mission LIFE.
00:33:17.63\00:33:20.76
Tell me a little bit about that.
00:33:20.80\00:33:23.16
We've tried to
put together a program
00:33:23.20\00:33:25.13
that allows lay members
00:33:25.17\00:33:27.07
to spend four
months in the states
00:33:27.10\00:33:29.44
learning how to reach
secular, western culture,
00:33:29.47\00:33:34.08
and then if they
want to, there's an option
00:33:34.11\00:33:36.64
that they can go
overseas for five months
00:33:36.68\00:33:39.05
and learn how to disciple
someone cross culturally,
00:33:39.08\00:33:41.45
actually do church planting.
00:33:41.48\00:33:42.95
So that program
starts August 25,
00:33:42.98\00:33:45.85
and we've got 35 church members
00:33:45.89\00:33:47.96
from all of the United
States, some from South America
00:33:47.99\00:33:50.59
that are coming
and are ready to go,
00:33:50.63\00:33:52.63
tear up the world for Jesus.
00:33:52.66\00:33:54.10
Yeah. Amen. Amen.
00:33:54.13\00:33:55.46
Now I understand
that you are supporting
00:33:55.50\00:33:57.10
a major evangelistic
initiative here in Florida.
00:33:57.13\00:34:00.24
Tell us a little about
that and how you're helping
00:34:00.27\00:34:02.64
plough some ground in advance.
00:34:02.67\00:34:04.37
Well, this group you see here
has actually been part of that.
00:34:04.41\00:34:07.44
Mark Finley is
having his discoveries away.
00:34:07.48\00:34:10.18
His evangelistic
series in Orlando,
00:34:10.21\00:34:12.85
beginning October 24.
00:34:12.88\00:34:14.68
And this group is actually
our first onsite program
00:34:14.72\00:34:18.69
that we've had since we began.
00:34:18.72\00:34:21.19
And it's a group of
young people, ages 15 to 22.
00:34:21.22\00:34:24.96
And they have come in,
00:34:24.99\00:34:26.33
they have been
with us for five weeks
00:34:26.36\00:34:28.16
and we chose a
large geographic area
00:34:28.20\00:34:30.80
right around our
headquarters at L.I.F.E there.
00:34:30.83\00:34:33.17
And they've been door
knocking, getting Bible studies,
00:34:33.20\00:34:35.67
having incredible experiences,
00:34:35.70\00:34:37.24
and all to do with
Mark Finley series.
00:34:37.27\00:34:39.44
Amen. Can you say amen?
00:34:39.47\00:34:41.41
I want to come to you,
Resline, is that right?
00:34:41.44\00:34:44.15
Racelyn. I got
to get this right.
00:34:44.18\00:34:46.11
Racelyn, in talking with
you before, before we came up,
00:34:46.15\00:34:49.02
you were sharing with
me that you were having
00:34:49.05\00:34:50.92
a bit of a rough time in life.
00:34:50.95\00:34:52.75
There were some things
that were not going quite right.
00:34:52.79\00:34:55.49
And that you were
really seeking God's guidance.
00:34:55.52\00:34:58.49
And you saw an ad on the
back of the Southern Tidings.
00:34:58.53\00:35:00.93
What was it and what happened?
00:35:00.96\00:35:02.76
Well, I had just gotten
over losing a wife, and a house,
00:35:02.80\00:35:08.34
and a car, and a
job, and everything else,
00:35:08.37\00:35:11.11
except for my clothes.
00:35:11.14\00:35:12.64
But, yeah, she
let me keep those.
00:35:12.67\00:35:15.34
But...
00:35:15.38\00:35:17.45
That's a good thing. Yeah.
00:35:17.48\00:35:20.88
But...
00:35:20.92\00:35:22.25
You saw an ad.
00:35:22.28\00:35:23.62
Yeah I saw an ad and
it was actually my pastor
00:35:23.65\00:35:26.82
and he had shown the ad on
a Southern Tidings magazine
00:35:26.86\00:35:30.03
for the Lay
Institute for Evangelism.
00:35:30.06\00:35:32.43
And I prayed that
if that was the place
00:35:32.46\00:35:36.87
that the Lord wanted
me to go for answers,
00:35:36.90\00:35:38.77
that He would make a way.
00:35:38.80\00:35:40.50
And they had a maximum
capacity of 15 students.
00:35:40.54\00:35:44.71
And so...
00:35:44.74\00:35:46.34
then this was June and
it started on July 7th.
00:35:46.37\00:35:49.18
And so I was like there's
no way, they already got there.
00:35:49.21\00:35:51.55
They are full. They are full.
00:35:51.58\00:35:52.91
And so I just, kind of,
like, let it go for a little bit
00:35:52.95\00:35:56.35
and it was
actually a few days later
00:35:56.38\00:35:57.99
that I was just like, you know,
I'm gonna go ahead and call.
00:35:58.02\00:36:00.32
And I called and they
said that they were full,
00:36:00.36\00:36:04.53
but if I still wanted to
come they would accept me.
00:36:04.56\00:36:07.56
And so I was, I
guess, the blessed number 16.
00:36:07.60\00:36:11.57
So you were the
blessed number 16.
00:36:11.60\00:36:12.93
Now as soon as you got to...
00:36:12.97\00:36:15.30
As soon as you got to life
00:36:15.34\00:36:16.67
you were impressed by something,
00:36:16.71\00:36:18.04
what was that?
00:36:18.07\00:36:19.41
I was...
00:36:19.44\00:36:20.84
I got there and
there were 16 people
00:36:20.88\00:36:22.98
from different backgrounds.
00:36:23.01\00:36:24.65
I mean you know younger people
and everybody just, kind of,
00:36:24.68\00:36:28.88
you could feel the Holy Spirit
just click with the group.
00:36:28.92\00:36:32.15
And through out the
whole experience, really,
00:36:32.19\00:36:35.52
it was amazing to see 16 people
from different backgrounds.
00:36:35.56\00:36:39.43
I mean, some
raised in the church,
00:36:39.46\00:36:42.00
some, like, so far from
the church, it's pathetic,
00:36:42.03\00:36:44.63
you know and we didn't fight,
not one argument, you know.
00:36:44.67\00:36:48.34
And we just
became family instantly.
00:36:48.37\00:36:51.91
So you felt that the Holy Spirit
00:36:51.94\00:36:53.61
was really leading
in that entire process
00:36:53.64\00:36:55.61
and it gave you a
sense of belonging.
00:36:55.64\00:36:58.15
How did that affect your future
plans as you're moving forward?
00:36:58.18\00:37:02.92
What, you know, how are you
00:37:02.95\00:37:04.32
gonna be ordering your life now?
00:37:04.35\00:37:06.45
Well, I mean, before that I had
never felt anything like that.
00:37:06.49\00:37:09.06
I never had, really, a
feeling of family like that.
00:37:09.09\00:37:13.90
And it really just showed me
what Christianity is all about.
00:37:13.93\00:37:18.40
Amen.
00:37:18.43\00:37:19.77
And just showed me to
be accepting of others
00:37:19.80\00:37:23.71
and to reach out to
others is what it's all about.
00:37:23.74\00:37:28.08
And so with...
00:37:28.11\00:37:29.44
now the only thing
I can possible imagine
00:37:29.48\00:37:31.88
myself doing is,
you know, evangelism.
00:37:31.91\00:37:35.32
And so I'm actually
gonna be going through
00:37:35.35\00:37:37.39
the nine month
course Mission Life
00:37:37.42\00:37:39.85
and then after that
hopefully off to Southern
00:37:39.89\00:37:42.16
and into the ministry.
00:37:42.19\00:37:43.79
Amen. Amen.
00:37:43.83\00:37:47.93
I want to come to you, Sabiana.
00:37:47.96\00:37:50.83
Now, I want to make sure
I understand this correctly.
00:37:50.87\00:37:53.84
Now you are actually
not an official member
00:37:53.87\00:37:55.90
of the Seventh-day
Adventist church, is that right?
00:37:55.94\00:37:57.27
No, that's correct.
00:37:57.31\00:37:58.64
But yet, you are here
and you are training in LIFE.
00:37:58.67\00:38:01.48
What led you to come to LIFE?
00:38:01.51\00:38:05.18
It was actually
very interesting.
00:38:05.21\00:38:07.38
I live in Jacksonville
and my youth pastor there
00:38:07.42\00:38:10.69
heard about the
program from Camp Kulaqua.
00:38:10.72\00:38:13.22
And then he's
like, "Oh, you know,
00:38:13.25\00:38:14.62
God is telling me
that you need to go."
00:38:14.66\00:38:16.49
And I'm like,
"God needs to tell me
00:38:16.52\00:38:18.63
that I need to go 'cause
I'm not getting anything."
00:38:18.66\00:38:21.80
And so weeks went by
and I prayed about it
00:38:21.83\00:38:24.47
and then I asked God, you know,
00:38:24.50\00:38:25.93
if you want me to
go to this program
00:38:25.97\00:38:27.97
then I want You to
lead someone to call me
00:38:28.00\00:38:30.67
so that I can pray with them.
00:38:30.71\00:38:32.37
And after I said
amen, Pastor Ken called me.
00:38:32.41\00:38:35.24
I don't know how he got
my phone number or anything,
00:38:35.28\00:38:37.05
but he called.
00:38:37.08\00:38:38.85
And so he didn't ask me
to pray with him or anything,
00:38:38.88\00:38:41.15
he just gave me
more information about
00:38:41.18\00:38:42.72
the program and kind
of encouraged me to come.
00:38:42.75\00:38:44.82
And I took that as,
well, he didn't ask me to pray,
00:38:44.85\00:38:46.99
so I guess You
don't want me to come.
00:38:47.02\00:38:48.82
But, come on, two seconds
after you prayed for a sign
00:38:48.86\00:38:53.09
and he calls, so...
00:38:53.13\00:38:54.46
It was a divine appointment?
00:38:54.50\00:38:55.83
It was. Okay.
00:38:55.86\00:38:57.20
Now you had told me
something specific about a video
00:38:57.23\00:38:59.33
that you watched
as part of the course.
00:38:59.37\00:39:00.87
Tell me what happened with that?
00:39:00.90\00:39:02.37
Oh, each week we
have different speakers.
00:39:02.40\00:39:05.94
The first week
we had Ron Halverson
00:39:05.97\00:39:08.14
and then we had a
young lady Chelsea
00:39:08.18\00:39:10.68
with the prayer walking,
00:39:10.71\00:39:12.71
and then we had
Derek Morris on preaching
00:39:12.75\00:39:16.32
and then, the third week
00:39:16.35\00:39:18.09
we have our own local
pastor Milton, right there.
00:39:18.12\00:39:22.72
And he spoke to
us about small groups
00:39:22.76\00:39:25.39
and then that,
kind of, led off into,
00:39:25.43\00:39:27.43
you know, purity
videos and things like that.
00:39:27.46\00:39:30.33
So we watched a video
on Purity by Joshua Harris.
00:39:30.37\00:39:33.74
And then after the video
Mr. Milton gave us an exercise,
00:39:33.77\00:39:38.91
as to write down everything
that we wanted to confess,
00:39:38.94\00:39:42.08
things that we didn't
feel that we're forgiven for
00:39:42.11\00:39:44.35
and things like that.
00:39:44.38\00:39:45.71
And then we put them
in a pan, in a baking pan,
00:39:45.75\00:39:48.02
then we went to
the backyard of LIFE
00:39:48.05\00:39:50.15
and we burned them
00:39:50.19\00:39:51.52
and then we
buried them and then...
00:39:51.55\00:39:53.12
What did that do for you?
How did that make you feel?
00:39:53.15\00:39:55.46
That to me was a big, you
know, release off my shoulders.
00:39:55.49\00:39:59.66
I, I, kind of, felt like,
you know, it's finally done
00:39:59.69\00:40:02.63
'cause, you know,
sometimes I would hear,
00:40:02.66\00:40:04.73
"Oh, you can't
possibly be a Christian
00:40:04.77\00:40:07.40
because you know did this,
00:40:07.44\00:40:08.84
and maybe you're not
really forgiven for that."
00:40:08.87\00:40:11.91
And that, kind of,
always, you know...
00:40:11.94\00:40:14.21
But after that, that was like
00:40:14.24\00:40:15.88
my faith put in
action, that burial kind of
00:40:15.91\00:40:19.11
helped me realize that I
am forgiven and I don't...
00:40:19.15\00:40:22.95
Don't have to worry about
God to bringing those back up.
00:40:22.98\00:40:25.65
Now you, I think from I
sensed there is a lot of action,
00:40:25.69\00:40:29.09
there is a lot of
activity that happens in life.
00:40:29.12\00:40:31.23
Let me ask you this.
00:40:31.26\00:40:32.59
Once you're done
with this program,
00:40:32.63\00:40:33.96
how is it gonna affect
00:40:34.00\00:40:35.33
how you live when you
go back to Jacksonville?
00:40:35.36\00:40:37.70
Well, at LIFE I mean,
one of the main things
00:40:37.73\00:40:41.47
that we did was reach
people, like not even you know,
00:40:41.50\00:40:45.07
hey, you know, you
should be a Christian
00:40:45.11\00:40:47.18
and this and
that, but we, kind of,
00:40:47.21\00:40:48.78
just build relationships
with people and then,
00:40:48.81\00:40:52.15
you know, be of
service with them.
00:40:52.18\00:40:53.52
And then win their confidence
00:40:53.55\00:40:54.88
and then offer them Bible
study and things like that.
00:40:54.92\00:40:57.39
So going back home, I'm gonna,
00:40:57.42\00:40:59.22
you know, look
for opportunities.
00:40:59.25\00:41:00.59
You know someone needs
you in lawn mowed, you know,
00:41:00.62\00:41:02.59
help them out and
then see where that leads.
00:41:02.62\00:41:04.89
Use that as a witnessing
contact point perhaps.
00:41:04.93\00:41:07.70
Yes. Amen.
00:41:07.73\00:41:09.06
Ken, I want to come to
you with the last question.
00:41:09.10\00:41:11.03
Let's say that I live
somewhere in North Dakota
00:41:11.07\00:41:14.24
and I don't live
in the Orlando area.
00:41:14.27\00:41:15.80
And I might not be able
to come to LIFE in person.
00:41:15.84\00:41:19.71
Can I still be
involved? Yes, you can.
00:41:19.74\00:41:23.24
Part of our
passion that we've...
00:41:23.28\00:41:26.11
As we've gotten
into the program,
00:41:26.15\00:41:27.62
as we try to start
advertising for onsite program.
00:41:27.65\00:41:30.29
We had so many
people that called and said,
00:41:30.32\00:41:32.19
"I can't come and
spend four months,
00:41:32.22\00:41:33.99
I can't even come
for a week, I'm so busy."
00:41:34.02\00:41:36.56
So from last August up
until this first group,
00:41:36.59\00:41:40.86
we've been working on
putting online training videos
00:41:40.90\00:41:44.63
so that anybody around
the world can access for free.
00:41:44.67\00:41:48.00
We've got Mark Finley up there
00:41:48.04\00:41:49.37
for reclaiming former Adventist.
00:41:49.40\00:41:50.87
Milton put
together an incredible...
00:41:50.91\00:41:53.34
How to start
your own small groups,
00:41:53.38\00:41:55.04
it's called growth groups.
00:41:55.08\00:41:56.54
Six hours with the manual.
00:41:56.58\00:41:58.51
I mean you can get
trained online on how to do
00:41:58.55\00:42:01.28
all these things
in your own community.
00:42:01.32\00:42:03.08
We've had people write
us from around the world,
00:42:03.12\00:42:05.09
India, England, New Zealand,
00:42:05.12\00:42:06.72
"Thank you so
much for these videos.
00:42:06.76\00:42:08.46
They have helped me get
involved in my community."
00:42:08.49\00:42:10.46
So we invite anybody
to access our website.
00:42:10.49\00:42:13.13
And they don't cost a
dime? Doesn't cost a dime.
00:42:13.16\00:42:15.00
Now where can we find that?
It is at thelayinstitute.com.
00:42:15.03\00:42:19.13
Give to us one more
time. thelayinstitute.com.
00:42:19.17\00:42:23.10
Will you check that website out?
00:42:23.14\00:42:25.44
Amen. Thank you so very much.
00:42:25.47\00:42:26.91
Thank you. God bless.
00:42:26.94\00:42:28.71
Our last set of interviews...
00:42:28.74\00:42:31.48
Please, give them a hand.
00:42:31.51\00:42:35.78
Our last members in
action are actually from
00:42:35.82\00:42:39.35
Adventist Frontier Missions.
00:42:39.39\00:42:40.72
How many of you familiar with
Adventist Frontier Missions?
00:42:40.76\00:42:43.22
Okay, a lot of you are.
00:42:43.26\00:42:44.76
That makes Dale
here quite happy.
00:42:44.79\00:42:47.36
Now Dale you're just...
You're a new president, AFM.
00:42:47.40\00:42:50.67
My understanding of
AFM is that it's a ministry
00:42:50.70\00:42:52.70
that supports
missionaries around the world,
00:42:52.73\00:42:55.20
who actually
integrate into the culture
00:42:55.24\00:42:56.97
of a local country to minister
00:42:57.01\00:42:58.47
and witness to
people, is that right?
00:42:58.51\00:43:00.48
We have about 66 different
missionaries around the world,
00:43:00.51\00:43:04.71
and these missionaries
going to creative access areas.
00:43:04.75\00:43:09.42
What is a creative access
area? That's a good question.
00:43:09.45\00:43:14.39
It's an area where we
have to find some reason
00:43:14.42\00:43:18.16
to have the person there,
00:43:18.19\00:43:19.53
other than just
to do evangelism.
00:43:19.56\00:43:22.40
It was William Carey who said,
00:43:22.43\00:43:24.83
"I cobble shoes to pay expenses,
00:43:24.87\00:43:28.60
but evangelism is my mission."
00:43:28.64\00:43:31.91
That's what AFM is all about.
00:43:31.94\00:43:34.88
We want to take
and go into areas where
00:43:34.91\00:43:37.35
traditional
evangelism is not allowed
00:43:37.38\00:43:40.45
and often
forbidden by the government.
00:43:40.48\00:43:43.02
And we find other
means, whether it's a school,
00:43:43.05\00:43:46.55
whether it's a
clinic, whether or not
00:43:46.59\00:43:50.66
it's a publishing
house or travel agency,
00:43:50.69\00:43:54.36
we find some reason to
have these missionaries
00:43:54.40\00:43:57.17
find employment
in these countries.
00:43:57.20\00:43:59.67
So you work the tougher ground,
00:43:59.70\00:44:01.40
maybe where you can't
have public evangelism.
00:44:01.44\00:44:04.07
That's correct. Okay.
00:44:04.11\00:44:05.74
Paul, I want to come to you.
00:44:05.77\00:44:07.54
We have a
missionary family with us here.
00:44:07.58\00:44:10.41
Tell us a little bit
about the history of our work
00:44:10.45\00:44:12.45
in Albania and
introduce us to this family.
00:44:12.48\00:44:15.75
Thank you, Danny.
00:44:15.78\00:44:17.12
Yes, the corporate
church sent the first missionary
00:44:17.15\00:44:19.59
to Albania near the
end of the great depression
00:44:19.62\00:44:23.26
and the beginning
of the World War II.
00:44:23.29\00:44:25.79
Daniel Lewis was that missionary
00:44:25.83\00:44:28.30
and he taught a
nucleus of people
00:44:28.33\00:44:32.10
some essential
lessons, but, of course,
00:44:32.13\00:44:34.67
the iron curtain fell
on Albania is one of those
00:44:34.70\00:44:37.51
eastern block countries
and it fell pretty heavily
00:44:37.54\00:44:42.01
because the emperor tried
to, to get rid of all religion.
00:44:42.04\00:44:45.68
It was the only declared
atheistic state on earth.
00:44:45.71\00:44:49.75
One of the
lessons that is often lost
00:44:49.78\00:44:53.15
on the North American
Church is that great faith
00:44:53.19\00:44:56.69
comes out of great tribulation.
00:44:56.73\00:44:59.46
And 50 years after communism
00:44:59.49\00:45:02.03
took over Albania, it collapsed.
00:45:02.06\00:45:04.87
And the Trans-European
Division sent representatives
00:45:04.90\00:45:07.94
to see what had happened
to Daniel Lewis's efforts.
00:45:07.97\00:45:11.57
He died in a prison camp.
00:45:11.61\00:45:14.71
Meropi Gjika is the
great story of the Book of Acts
00:45:14.74\00:45:18.88
in the modern church.
00:45:18.91\00:45:20.32
She was the woman
who was not baptized,
00:45:20.35\00:45:22.48
Danny, into church.
00:45:22.52\00:45:23.85
She waited for baptism
all through those years.
00:45:23.89\00:45:26.59
For how many years? Fifty years.
00:45:26.62\00:45:28.26
So she's waiting, she's
waiting for someone to comeback.
00:45:28.29\00:45:31.56
To comeback to Albania.
00:45:31.59\00:45:33.19
But she read three
chapters of her Bible everyday
00:45:33.23\00:45:36.93
and five chapters on Sabbath.
00:45:36.97\00:45:39.73
And when the Trans-European
Division representative
00:45:39.77\00:45:42.84
arrived at Meropi's
home, she had three wishes.
00:45:42.87\00:45:46.31
She wanted to be baptized.
00:45:46.34\00:45:48.18
She wanted a church
build in Tirana, the capital.
00:45:48.21\00:45:51.11
And then she drew out of hiding,
00:45:51.15\00:45:53.52
a little chest in which she had
placed her tithe for 50 years.
00:45:53.55\00:46:00.26
Can you say amen to that?
That's faithfulness, isn't it?
00:46:00.29\00:46:03.79
She went to
Utrecht as a representative
00:46:03.83\00:46:06.76
to that general conference
session from her country.
00:46:06.80\00:46:09.83
Now she also gave
something else, did she not?
00:46:09.86\00:46:11.80
Was there not a
translation of something?
00:46:11.83\00:46:14.60
Wasn't there a Bible translation
00:46:14.64\00:46:15.97
from Greek into Albanian?
00:46:16.00\00:46:17.34
Yes. She had translated the
scriptures during that time.
00:46:17.37\00:46:20.64
Okay. Yes.
00:46:20.68\00:46:22.01
Now, now you folks
are actually working
00:46:22.04\00:46:23.38
in Albania, is that right?
00:46:23.41\00:46:24.75
Can you introduce us, Paul? Yes.
00:46:24.78\00:46:26.11
We're happy to have a
couple of families in Albania.
00:46:26.15\00:46:28.98
And one is on furlough.
00:46:29.02\00:46:30.42
This is Sean and Brenda
Mays and their daughters.
00:46:30.45\00:46:33.96
Okay. Now, Sean, let
me ask you a question.
00:46:33.99\00:46:36.32
Now I understand that
you're living in Albania,
00:46:36.36\00:46:39.09
you're trying to
learn the language,
00:46:39.13\00:46:40.46
you're translating some
Bible lessons into Albanian
00:46:40.50\00:46:43.63
and you're
trying to make contacts,
00:46:43.67\00:46:45.23
make friends with people first.
00:46:45.27\00:46:46.60
You met somebody,
00:46:46.63\00:46:47.97
I believe you
said his name Kazu.
00:46:48.00\00:46:50.11
Zaku. Zaku.
00:46:50.14\00:46:51.47
I keep getting
these names mixed up.
00:46:51.51\00:46:52.84
Tell me about Zaku?
00:46:52.87\00:46:54.28
Well, Zaku is a friend
of mine that I met probably
00:46:54.31\00:46:57.68
about 18 months ago.
00:46:57.71\00:46:59.25
And I spend six days
a week with this man.
00:46:59.28\00:47:02.25
I helped him set up
his shop in the morning
00:47:02.28\00:47:04.55
and after we get
done with his shop
00:47:04.59\00:47:07.42
we go and we have a cup
of camel milk tea together,
00:47:07.46\00:47:09.32
a lot of time
that we spend together
00:47:09.36\00:47:12.53
between our families and myself.
00:47:12.56\00:47:14.80
Now this has led to
Zaku requesting that
00:47:14.83\00:47:17.70
we begin to read the
Bible together, to study.
00:47:17.73\00:47:19.97
Now Zaku comes from
a Muslim background.
00:47:20.00\00:47:22.10
His father was a Imam and
for him to come and ask me,
00:47:22.14\00:47:26.04
can we study the Bible together,
00:47:26.07\00:47:28.31
and can we pray
together is just,
00:47:28.34\00:47:32.08
God has really opened
the doors for us to be there.
00:47:32.11\00:47:35.78
We prayed that we would
meet people with open hearts,
00:47:35.82\00:47:40.29
people that were
influential in the community.
00:47:40.32\00:47:43.49
And that is what
God has done with Zaku.
00:47:43.53\00:47:47.76
He is just a very well
respected man in the city.
00:47:47.80\00:47:50.43
We have many other
friends that we're working with.
00:47:50.47\00:47:54.17
We've been spending the
last 28 months to 3 years
00:47:54.20\00:47:57.74
learning the culture of Albania,
00:47:57.77\00:47:59.81
learning the
language of Albania.
00:47:59.84\00:48:02.24
And now we're in a process
of having our Bible studies
00:48:02.28\00:48:06.01
translated and we hope to begin
00:48:06.05\00:48:08.85
with those soon
after we get back.
00:48:08.88\00:48:11.62
It's tough work,
but it's rewarding
00:48:11.65\00:48:12.99
when you have something
like that happened, isn't it?
00:48:13.02\00:48:14.36
Yes, it is.
00:48:14.39\00:48:15.72
We've been back on
furlough since the 5th of May
00:48:15.76\00:48:17.73
and after the third
day we were here in States,
00:48:17.76\00:48:19.43
I told my wife, I
said, "We don't belong here.
00:48:19.46\00:48:22.20
We need to get back to
Albania. We have a work to do."
00:48:22.23\00:48:24.73
Amen. I want to talk to
the girls for just a minute.
00:48:24.77\00:48:27.74
Megan and Mariah, now
when I was talking to you
00:48:27.77\00:48:30.21
a little bit earlier,
you were telling me that
00:48:30.24\00:48:31.57
you weren't so sold on
going to Albania at first.
00:48:31.61\00:48:34.71
But the Lord laid
something on your heart
00:48:34.74\00:48:36.64
that you have your
own unique ministry
00:48:36.68\00:48:38.11
that you do in Albania.
00:48:38.15\00:48:39.48
Tell us a little bit about that.
00:48:39.51\00:48:40.95
Well, when we
first came to Albania,
00:48:40.98\00:48:43.08
I felt like God had
called me personally to come,
00:48:43.12\00:48:46.49
not just to be in
their missionary kit,
00:48:46.52\00:48:47.86
use my parents,
00:48:47.89\00:48:49.22
but that He has something
for me to do in particular.
00:48:49.26\00:48:52.19
And, but I didn't
know what that was.
00:48:52.23\00:48:54.30
But shortly after
we got in Albania,
00:48:54.33\00:48:56.10
I met the Roma Gypsy people
and fell in love with them
00:48:56.13\00:48:59.10
right away and realized that
00:48:59.13\00:49:00.47
this was the mission
that God had for me to do.
00:49:00.50\00:49:02.54
Now the Roma Gypsy people,
00:49:02.57\00:49:04.17
tell me how they kind
of fit in the society?
00:49:04.21\00:49:07.04
Not very well.
Not very well. Okay.
00:49:07.08\00:49:08.91
There's been
prejudice against the Romas
00:49:08.94\00:49:10.35
in most of the world,
but especially in Europe.
00:49:10.38\00:49:12.88
So what did you decide to do
for these people that you saw?
00:49:12.91\00:49:15.95
Well, I started
talking to the families
00:49:15.98\00:49:18.19
and talking to mothers
and asking what they thought
00:49:18.22\00:49:19.92
their biggest needs were.
00:49:19.95\00:49:21.32
And the thing that
kept coming up is that
00:49:21.36\00:49:23.12
they wanted a
school for their girls.
00:49:23.16\00:49:25.39
And because the Romas aren't
allowed into public schools.
00:49:25.43\00:49:28.60
And so, I mean,
I wanted to do it,
00:49:28.63\00:49:30.67
but I said, you know, I
don't speak your language.
00:49:30.70\00:49:32.30
I was 15, I
didn't have any money.
00:49:32.33\00:49:33.87
I said, "I'd like to do it,
00:49:33.90\00:49:35.24
but I don't
think that's possible."
00:49:35.27\00:49:36.60
But I just told a
couple of friends,
00:49:36.64\00:49:38.27
like 12, 13 year
old kids in the States,
00:49:38.31\00:49:40.41
about this idea and they went
out and started raising money.
00:49:40.44\00:49:43.65
And how much
money have you raised?
00:49:43.68\00:49:45.48
They raised, before I
came back, like $12,000.
00:49:45.51\00:49:48.92
Twelve thousand dollars. Amen.
00:49:48.95\00:49:50.99
Can you say amen to that?
00:49:51.02\00:49:52.35
So let me just make
sure I get this straight.
00:49:52.39\00:49:54.76
So you have started your
own school for the native Gypsy.
00:49:54.79\00:49:58.16
Now, what...
00:49:58.19\00:49:59.53
Let me ask you, Maria,
00:49:59.56\00:50:00.90
what happens in a
typical day at your school?
00:50:00.93\00:50:03.63
Go ahead. Well...
00:50:06.13\00:50:09.27
Because you, kind of, go to
school with them, don't you?
00:50:09.30\00:50:11.31
Didn't you tell me that? Yeah.
00:50:11.34\00:50:12.67
Okay. So what happens?
What do you teach them?
00:50:12.71\00:50:16.08
Well, we teach them
reading, and writing,
00:50:16.11\00:50:20.12
and basic math,
and they like to read
00:50:20.15\00:50:23.89
the little Bible
story books, and hygiene.
00:50:23.92\00:50:29.56
This is a good thing.
00:50:29.59\00:50:31.03
Learning how to brush
their teeth for the first time.
00:50:31.06\00:50:33.23
Well, I'm sorry.
What did you say?
00:50:33.26\00:50:34.60
They are learning
how to brush their teeth
00:50:34.63\00:50:35.96
for the first time,
never done that before.
00:50:36.00\00:50:37.73
Brushing your
teeth is important,
00:50:37.77\00:50:39.23
won't you say, the
dentists out there?
00:50:39.27\00:50:41.40
Amen. Now one other
question for you, Maria.
00:50:41.44\00:50:44.37
I believe that you have a
Bible study contact, don't you?
00:50:44.41\00:50:47.68
Tell me a little bit about that.
00:50:47.71\00:50:49.38
Yeah. His name is Toddy.
00:50:49.41\00:50:51.18
And he has been in
American for a while.
00:50:51.21\00:50:56.79
So... He's Albanian?
00:50:56.82\00:50:58.45
Yeah. He's Albanian. Okay.
00:50:58.49\00:51:00.12
And, but he speaks
English really good
00:51:00.16\00:51:01.92
because he's been in America,
00:51:01.96\00:51:03.29
like, his whole
life and he's 11.
00:51:03.32\00:51:06.13
And one day we're
just sitting outside
00:51:06.16\00:51:08.56
and he was talking to me
about stuff from the Bible.
00:51:08.60\00:51:13.97
And he's talking about his
views on evolution and creation
00:51:14.00\00:51:19.47
and I talked to him a
little bit and he asked
00:51:19.51\00:51:22.11
if you could
Bible studies with me.
00:51:22.14\00:51:23.85
So you're going
to be following up
00:51:23.88\00:51:25.68
and sharing with
him from the Bible,
00:51:25.71\00:51:27.28
what the record
of the Bible says.
00:51:27.32\00:51:28.95
Can you say amen to that?
00:51:28.98\00:51:30.32
How many of you
will pray for them
00:51:30.35\00:51:31.69
as they go back to Albania?
00:51:31.72\00:51:33.15
Would you raise your hand? Amen.
00:51:33.19\00:51:34.56
