Good evening, happy Sabbath,
00:03:39.18\00:03:41.17
we just want to tell
you we've really enjoyed
00:03:41.18\00:03:43.80
your children down in
the youth departments,
00:03:43.81\00:03:45.99
and I've been very
thankful for all of the
00:03:46.00\00:03:48.24
youth leaders who have
put hours of work in this
00:03:48.25\00:03:50.68
since the beginning
of the year to prepare
00:03:50.69\00:03:52.39
for this program,
and I've been so blessed
00:03:52.40\00:03:55.28
to see the programs
that they have done,
00:03:55.29\00:03:57.31
and just been
touched and also seen the
00:03:57.32\00:03:59.94
answers to prayer,
just in the little things as
00:03:59.95\00:04:01.73
we've carried out this program.
00:04:01.74\00:04:03.34
And this evening, our
leaders are gonna share
00:04:03.35\00:04:05.11
with you what your
children have been learning.
00:04:05.12\00:04:07.72

We know we need
God in our hearts,
00:05:23.83\00:05:28.30
To live for him each day
00:05:28.31\00:05:32.55
We're kingdom kids,
00:05:32.56\00:05:35.20
We know we need
God in our hearts,
00:05:35.21\00:05:39.68
To live for him each day

00:05:44.09\00:05:46.78
We share God's

00:05:57.93\00:06:02.33
We stand up for the rights.
00:06:02.34\00:06:06.72
This week we've
been setting about the
00:06:06.73\00:06:08.98
Beatitudes, and we
just picked one because
00:06:08.99\00:06:11.52
there's a lot of memory verses,
00:06:11.53\00:06:13.32
and a favorite
poster that we colored
00:06:13.33\00:06:15.24
for you guys.
Alright, are you guys ready?
00:06:15.25\00:06:17.74
We're gonna sing, ready.
00:06:17.75\00:06:20.97
Blessed are the meek,
00:06:20.98\00:06:27.56
for they will inherit the earth.
00:06:27.57\00:06:32.06
Alright, so we've
all learned that God
00:06:32.07\00:06:36.54
is our strength,
that God is our joy and
00:06:36.55\00:06:39.29
we've a little
song about that as well.
00:06:39.30\00:06:41.51
The joy of the Lord is
my strength, my strength
00:06:42.61\00:06:47.85
The joy of the Lord is
my strength, my strength
00:06:47.86\00:06:52.59
The joy of the Lord is
my strength, my strength
00:06:52.60\00:06:57.43
The joy of the
Lord is my strength.
00:06:57.44\00:07:01.53
Thank you, thank you.
00:07:01.54\00:07:08.59
This year our ASI
primary class has been
00:07:36.56\00:07:39.83
studying God's messengers.
00:07:39.84\00:07:42.20
We have studied
from Samuel to John the
00:07:42.21\00:07:46.88
Revelator, to
Ellen White and we've had
00:07:46.89\00:07:49.61
quite a team, the
youth coordinators have
00:07:49.62\00:07:51.70
helped us, and we
have Charles White,
00:07:51.71\00:07:54.41
Ellen White's great grandson,
00:07:54.42\00:07:57.22
and we're learning
the eight tests of the
00:07:57.23\00:07:59.63
Prophets, so we can
test peoples messages,
00:07:59.64\00:08:03.00
and know whether
they're true or not.
00:08:03.01\00:08:05.48
So, tonight the primary
class would like to sing
00:08:05.49\00:08:09.39
the Three Angels
Message that John
00:08:09.40\00:08:12.02
gave us by
memory, and they've worked
00:08:12.03\00:08:15.26
hard on it. And so
I hope that each of us
00:08:15.27\00:08:18.90
will think of how God
can use each one of us
00:08:18.91\00:08:22.09
as a messenger
for him this year.
00:08:22.10\00:08:24.97
And I saw another angel
fly in the midst of heaven,
00:08:35.52\00:08:41.15
having the everlasting
gospel to preach unto
00:08:41.16\00:08:46.49
them that dwell on the
earth, and to every nation,
00:08:46.50\00:08:53.80
and kindred, and
tongue, and people, saying with
00:08:53.81\00:08:59.67
a loud voice, "Fear
God, and give glory to him;
00:08:59.68\00:09:07.45
for the hour of
his judgment is come:
00:09:07.46\00:09:12.40
and worship him
that made the heaven,
00:09:12.41\00:09:17.34
the earth, and the sea, and
00:09:17.35\00:09:19.73
the fountains of waters."
00:09:19.74\00:09:24.07
And there followed
another angel, saying,
00:09:25.33\00:09:31.12
"Babylon is fallen, is
fallen, that great city,
00:09:31.13\00:09:36.01
because she made
all nations drink of the
00:09:36.02\00:09:39.33
wine of the wrath
of her fornication."
00:09:39.34\00:09:46.09
And the third
angel followed them,
00:09:46.10\00:09:50.14
saying with a loud
voice, If any man worship the
00:09:50.15\00:09:57.11
beast and his image,
and receive his mark in
00:09:57.12\00:10:03.97
his forehead, or in
his hand, the same shall
00:10:03.98\00:10:10.19
drink of the wine
of the wrath of God,
00:10:10.20\00:10:15.62
which is poured out
without mixture into
00:10:15.63\00:10:19.26
the cup of his
indignation; and he shall be
00:10:19.27\00:10:20.24
shall be tormented
with fire and brimstone
00:10:24.04\00:10:28.51
in the presence
of the holy angels,
00:10:28.52\00:10:31.72
and in the presence of the Lamb:
00:10:31.73\00:10:36.14
And the smoke of
their torment ascendeth up
00:10:36.15\00:10:42.30
forever and ever:
and they have no rest day
00:10:42.31\00:10:48.89
nor night, who worship
the beast and his image,
00:10:48.90\00:10:57.97
and whosoever
receiveth the mark of his name.
00:10:57.98\00:11:05.39
Here is the
patience of the saints:
00:11:05.40\00:11:11.10
here are they that keep
the commandments of God,
00:11:11.11\00:11:19.34
and the faith of
Jesus." Revelation 14:6 to 12.
00:11:19.35\00:11:36.59
This week in the
junior department we've been
00:13:06.98\00:13:09.45
learning of how the
sanctuary was a visual
00:13:09.46\00:13:14.19
illustration of
God's plan of salvation.
00:13:14.20\00:13:17.58
Sharon Gladden was
willing to comedown from Oregon
00:13:17.59\00:13:20.85
and share with us, and
she has a ministry setup,
00:13:20.86\00:13:23.84
we'd love to
have you comedown and
00:13:23.85\00:13:25.20
see of the sanctuary.
And we had a number of other
00:13:25.21\00:13:29.52
speakers come,
and share some very
00:13:29.53\00:13:32.23
special messages. I'd
like to have Taylor Bond
00:13:32.24\00:13:36.48
come up and share
what he has learned.
00:13:36.49\00:13:39.06
Taylor, what have you
had that's been special
00:13:39.07\00:13:42.20
to you this
week in this program?
00:13:42.21\00:13:45.16
I think the sermon
on prayer impacted me
00:13:45.17\00:13:48.43
the most, I mean you
have no idea it changed
00:13:48.44\00:13:50.84
my life through and
through, and that's what
00:13:50.85\00:13:53.43
I learned this week.
Amen. Thank you Taylor.
00:13:53.44\00:13:58.27
We're gonna sing a
song that we've have been
00:13:58.28\00:14:01.00
learning there this
week it said, it's called
00:14:01.01\00:14:03.35
Lord, prepare me
to be a sanctuary,
00:14:03.36\00:14:06.11
which is what we want God to do
00:14:06.12\00:14:08.60
in each one of
our lives isn't it.
00:14:08.61\00:14:10.71
Lord, prepare me
to be a sanctuary
00:14:25.21\00:14:34.09
Pure and holy, tried and true
00:14:34.10\00:14:42.99
With thanksgiving,
00:14:43.00\00:14:46.65
I'll be a living
sanctuary for You
00:14:46.66\00:14:59.54
Lord God
Almighty, is the sanctuary.
00:14:59.55\00:15:07.30
Pure and holy, to seek His face,
00:15:07.31\00:15:15.86
Accept His guiding.
00:15:15.87\00:15:19.45
In Him abiding,
Sanctuary for Lord you.
00:15:19.46\00:15:31.71
Lord, prepare me
to be a sanctuary
00:15:31.72\00:15:39.58
Pure and holy, tried and true
00:15:39.59\00:15:47.84
With thanksgiving,
00:15:47.85\00:15:51.15
I'll be a living
sanctuary for You. Amen.
00:15:51.16\00:16:12.47
Well happy
Sabbath, my name is Maria
00:16:30.75\00:16:34.84
Lodenkamp, and I'm
one of the ASI early
00:16:34.85\00:16:38.31
team leaders, and
it has been a privilege
00:16:38.32\00:16:41.01
to work with the
Earliteens this week.
00:16:41.02\00:16:43.86
I'm also
working with Joshua Fyne
00:16:43.87\00:16:46.61
and we've brought
up four representatives
00:16:46.62\00:16:49.26
from our class that
are just gonna share a
00:16:49.27\00:16:51.22
little bit about what
they've been learning,
00:16:51.23\00:16:53.45
and a little bit
about their experiences,
00:16:53.46\00:16:55.88
and what they're
taking home with them,
00:16:55.89\00:16:58.20
that God has
touched their hearts with.
00:16:58.21\00:17:00.95
Madison, can you
share a little bit about
00:17:00.96\00:17:03.55
what you been
learning this week?
00:17:03.56\00:17:05.27
Our theme this week
in Earliteen was knowing
00:17:05.28\00:17:08.96
Him and knowing
why, and last night when
00:17:08.97\00:17:12.80
Pastor Asscherick
spoke, he spoke on
00:17:12.81\00:17:15.30
how we have to
know God personally,
00:17:15.31\00:17:16.92
and we can't count
on what other people
00:17:16.93\00:17:18.43
say about, and
we've to have a personal
00:17:18.44\00:17:20.92
experience with
him. And it really,
00:17:20.93\00:17:23.51
God really
impressed upon me through
00:17:23.52\00:17:24.89
his words that I
need to get a closer,
00:17:24.90\00:17:27.21
have a closer
relationship with God.
00:17:27.22\00:17:29.06
It's beautiful.
Alright April, I understand
00:17:29.07\00:17:35.14
that you and the
Earliteens went out yesterday,
00:17:35.15\00:17:38.08
and had the
opportunity to do something,
00:17:38.09\00:17:40.24
would you like to
tell us about that?
00:17:40.25\00:17:41.70
Well yesterday, we
had an awesome time going
00:17:42.91\00:17:45.86
to being down the Salt River,
00:17:45.87\00:17:47.79
and I really enjoyed
it. I got to see all the
00:17:47.80\00:17:50.33
rock formations
which was really beautiful,
00:17:50.34\00:17:52.49
and the Lord just
blessed I got to see
00:17:52.50\00:17:54.64
wild horses
which was really nice,
00:17:54.65\00:17:56.56
I love horses and it
was just really a big
00:17:56.57\00:17:59.17
blessing to just
go down and have fun
00:17:59.18\00:18:00.84
with my friends, and I just feel
00:18:00.85\00:18:03.48
closer to God out in nature.
00:18:03.49\00:18:05.06
We had a little
miracle happen as well,
00:18:09.59\00:18:11.86
we got delayed
about 45 minutes and when
00:18:11.87\00:18:14.44
we went back the
bus driver told us
00:18:14.45\00:18:16.63
we could not get
the food for our youth,
00:18:16.64\00:18:18.77
and so we quickly
had prayer as staff,
00:18:18.78\00:18:21.76
and God helped
us all through that,
00:18:21.77\00:18:24.24
the subway manager
brought the food to
00:18:24.25\00:18:27.85
the bus just off
the highway and we got
00:18:27.86\00:18:30.99
our youth fed. They
were pretty low after
00:18:31.00\00:18:33.36
tubing for about four
hours, so we were very
00:18:33.37\00:18:35.75
grateful for that.
Angela we went on an
00:18:35.76\00:18:39.19
outreach today that
was very, very exciting,
00:18:39.20\00:18:41.59
would you share a
little bit about that with ASI?
00:18:41.60\00:18:44.29
Yes our
Earliteen group went to the
00:18:44.30\00:18:47.80
Native American reservation and
00:18:47.81\00:18:50.54
it was just a
wonderful experience
00:18:50.55\00:18:51.80
to go help this
teacher there, she is only
00:18:51.81\00:18:53.76
one teacher for
the whole school.
00:18:53.77\00:18:55.80
And our group went
there and there was,
00:18:55.81\00:18:58.75
we all went out
there and had a wonderful
00:18:58.76\00:19:01.10
time working together.
I was with a group that
00:19:01.11\00:19:04.49
was working with art supplies,
00:19:04.50\00:19:06.37
we're organizing it,
cleaning the closets out.
00:19:06.38\00:19:08.72
Where other groups are
working on construction,
00:19:08.73\00:19:11.07
we had people that
were helping in the kitchen.
00:19:11.08\00:19:13.20
We had a lot of things
that were going on there,
00:19:13.21\00:19:14.92
and it was just really
a blessing to be there,
00:19:14.93\00:19:16.71
and also to
realize how blessed we are,
00:19:16.72\00:19:19.41
because the
children that go the school
00:19:19.42\00:19:20.93
they don't have
functional families like we do.
00:19:20.94\00:19:23.50
Their parents are
using drugs and alcohol,
00:19:23.51\00:19:25.82
and the school is a
place where they can go
00:19:25.83\00:19:27.65
and get a
blessing, and to be in a safe
00:19:27.66\00:19:29.28
environment, so it's
really a blessing and
00:19:29.29\00:19:31.27
blessing to
realize how blessed we are.
00:19:31.28\00:19:33.28
Now Sarah, you've
been to the meetings,
00:19:37.59\00:19:39.89
you participated
in the outreach today,
00:19:39.90\00:19:42.11
is there something
that you've learned
00:19:42.12\00:19:44.55
or something that
you heard that you wanna
00:19:44.56\00:19:45.91
take back home
and put into practice?
00:19:45.92\00:19:47.80
When Pastor
Asscherick spoke in our class
00:19:47.81\00:19:52.10
and how he said
you need to search the
00:19:52.11\00:19:54.49
scriptures for
yourself and not always depend
00:19:54.50\00:19:56.93
on what other
people are saying to you,
00:19:56.94\00:19:59.62
you need to go and
look for yourselves,
00:19:59.63\00:20:02.11
not listen to what
other people are saying
00:20:02.12\00:20:04.47
to make sure
they're right, amen.
00:20:04.48\00:20:07.28
Amen, I want to say
its been a privilege
00:20:07.29\00:20:09.85
working with these
young people seeing
00:20:09.86\00:20:11.81
their hard work
today at the outreach
00:20:11.82\00:20:13.93
and seeing their
team work, and their
00:20:13.94\00:20:15.40
participation
has been wonderful.
00:20:15.41\00:20:17.42
And I want to say to
the parents that this
00:20:17.43\00:20:19.42
would not have been
possible if you had not
00:20:19.43\00:20:21.80
entrusted your kids
to us and so we want
00:20:21.81\00:20:23.93
to personally
thank you and we want
00:20:23.94\00:20:26.57
to thank the
young people as well.
00:20:26.58\00:20:28.18
Well good evening everyone.
00:20:39.89\00:20:41.34
My name is
Immian, and I'm with the
00:20:41.35\00:20:45.16
ASI Youth Department,
and this year our theme
00:20:45.17\00:20:49.12
is you might be able
to tell by our shirts
00:20:49.13\00:20:50.75
if its close
enough was "Do Good" and
00:20:50.76\00:20:54.29
this year we wanted
to focus on doing good
00:20:54.30\00:20:56.72
because, actually
it was because I had
00:20:56.73\00:20:58.89
read in Christ's Object Lessons,
00:20:58.90\00:21:00.62
a book you all might
be familiar with that
00:21:00.63\00:21:03.28
it is through
service that we come into
00:21:03.29\00:21:07.04
contact with Christ,
and actually she says,
00:21:07.05\00:21:10.57
becomes the connecting
link between us and Him.
00:21:10.58\00:21:14.98
And so we wanted
our kids to have,
00:21:14.99\00:21:17.97
our youth, our
young men and women to
00:21:17.98\00:21:21.74
have some exposure
to the thoughts behind
00:21:21.75\00:21:24.19
doing good. So,
we've had some excellent
00:21:24.20\00:21:26.88
seminars, we've had
some excellent preaching,
00:21:26.89\00:21:29.61
we're going to
continue having some
00:21:29.62\00:21:31.60
excellent
presentations, and some profound
00:21:31.61\00:21:36.28
thoughts being
presented to us both tonight
00:21:36.29\00:21:38.15
and tomorrow, we're
really looking forward
00:21:38.16\00:21:39.73
to those presentations.
But I would have to say
00:21:39.74\00:21:42.48
and I think the
young people would agree
00:21:42.49\00:21:44.57
with me that the
most memorable part
00:21:44.58\00:21:46.79
about this year at
ASI has been our time
00:21:46.80\00:21:50.14
at the Maricopa
Village Christian School.
00:21:50.15\00:21:52.24
You're looking at
pictures right there,
00:21:52.25\00:21:54.47
and I'm just gonna
let Jessica who is the
00:21:54.48\00:21:57.59
teacher at the
school tell you a little bit
00:21:57.60\00:21:59.93
about the school,
and then we'll get into
00:21:59.94\00:22:02.49
the pictures.
Good evening everyone,
00:22:02.50\00:22:06.22
as Immian was
saying they came out to
00:22:06.23\00:22:09.23
work at our school,
our school is a little
00:22:09.24\00:22:11.95
Adventist school
on the reservation and
00:22:11.96\00:22:13.92
its been there for,
this is gonna come upon
00:22:13.93\00:22:16.33
the eight year and
I've been there for seven
00:22:16.34\00:22:18.26
of those years, and
its been a real blessing
00:22:18.27\00:22:19.89
to see God work in the school.
00:22:19.90\00:22:21.47
It started out in the
front room of a trailer,
00:22:21.48\00:22:23.91
and over the years
we moved into a little
00:22:23.92\00:22:27.39
house which later
became a condemned
00:22:27.40\00:22:29.51
building, and we were wondering
00:22:29.52\00:22:30.68
oh no is that gonna
close, what we gonna
00:22:30.69\00:22:32.25
do there is no money,
this building is falling
00:22:32.26\00:22:34.15
apart which is a
house that the white house
00:22:34.16\00:22:36.49
in some of the
pictures, and we started praying
00:22:36.50\00:22:38.93
about it, and God
blessed us with that building
00:22:38.94\00:22:41.03
you're seeing right
now. It only took 57 days
00:22:41.04\00:22:43.57
from the time we
started looking for
00:22:43.58\00:22:44.80
a new building to
get that one delivered.
00:22:44.81\00:22:46.78
And so our
school is meeting a need
00:22:46.79\00:22:49.40
in the community
that would not be met
00:22:49.41\00:22:51.84
if there wasn't for our
little Adventist school.
00:22:51.85\00:22:53.60
Its kind of secluded,
lot of people don't have
00:22:53.61\00:22:55.45
cars in that
area, a lot of people,
00:22:55.46\00:22:57.53
most of the homes
have drugs and alcohol,
00:22:57.54\00:23:00.80
and so the kids you
know if it wasn't for this,
00:23:00.81\00:23:03.55
they probably
wouldn't have a spiritual
00:23:03.56\00:23:04.96
connection, so
it's a real blessing
00:23:04.97\00:23:07.07
a lot of kids that
had all the way through,
00:23:07.08\00:23:08.87
they have just
stayed with the school.
00:23:08.88\00:23:10.15
And so I really feel
after being all these years
00:23:10.16\00:23:12.88
I can tell that if
it wasn't for our little
00:23:12.89\00:23:15.36
Adventist school
which is a mission school,
00:23:15.37\00:23:17.12
it's supported by
donations, if it wasn't
00:23:17.13\00:23:19.13
for that they would
probably not have any
00:23:19.14\00:23:21.33
connection to God.
And its a real blessing
00:23:21.34\00:23:23.19
for me to see them
change because when
00:23:23.20\00:23:24.63
they came, and
when I get new students
00:23:24.64\00:23:26.21
they are really hard,
and you know they're just,
00:23:26.22\00:23:28.60
it's a hard life
for them to grow up,
00:23:28.61\00:23:31.48
and it's nice to
see a transformation,
00:23:31.49\00:23:34.71
and I was telling
some people yesterday
00:23:34.72\00:23:37.30
Bible class first
thing in the morning 9 am,
00:23:37.31\00:23:39.51
they are listening
to every single word
00:23:39.52\00:23:41.57
and it's a real blessing.
They love learning about
00:23:41.58\00:23:44.09
God and getting
to see them change
00:23:44.10\00:23:47.06
and their hearts
soften, and so I'm so
00:23:47.07\00:23:50.10
grateful for these
guys coming out here
00:23:50.11\00:23:51.90
and helping. I mean they've done
00:23:51.91\00:23:53.93
so much work that I
could have never done,
00:23:53.94\00:23:55.97
I mean it's
amazing, they helped me clean
00:23:55.98\00:23:58.61
and organize and
get things together
00:23:58.62\00:24:00.68
and it's just been
a real, real blessing.
00:24:00.69\00:24:03.15
They work so
hard in that hot sun,
00:24:03.16\00:24:04.91
and now we're
miles ahead of where
00:24:04.92\00:24:07.17
we've been because
its, you know money
00:24:07.18\00:24:09.04
is tight, and there
is not a lot of workers
00:24:09.05\00:24:11.24
out there, and its
tough and its tough
00:24:11.25\00:24:14.87
for me being
there all these years,
00:24:14.88\00:24:16.45
its hard to be out
there in the mission field,
00:24:16.46\00:24:18.42
and you don't
always know if things
00:24:18.43\00:24:20.35
are you know you're
expecting to see these
00:24:20.36\00:24:22.01
big great things
happen so fast, and then
00:24:22.02\00:24:24.85
you know you're
there and you see that
00:24:24.86\00:24:26.10
it's a slow
process, and sometimes
00:24:26.11\00:24:27.83
you can get discouraged.
00:24:27.84\00:24:28.81
And all of these
youth that have been there
00:24:28.82\00:24:30.49
have like lifted me up big time.
00:24:30.50\00:24:32.59
I'm so ready to
start year number eight
00:24:32.60\00:24:34.40
out there, wasn't
sure if I was gonna be
00:24:34.41\00:24:36.22
able to do it again
this year, and I was
00:24:36.23\00:24:37.46
praying all
summer God fill me up.
00:24:37.47\00:24:39.07
I need to have you
in me to work through me
00:24:39.08\00:24:41.66
so I can do this
again because it's so hard.
00:24:41.67\00:24:43.61
I pick them up first
thing in the morning,
00:24:43.62\00:24:45.29
feed them breakfast,
teach them, cook them
00:24:45.30\00:24:47.34
lunch, clean it up,
teach them the rest of the day,
00:24:47.35\00:24:50.22
take them home at
the end of the day,
00:24:50.23\00:24:51.26
and then I got to
clean up and its like,
00:24:51.27\00:24:52.67
I don't know if
could do it again,
00:24:52.68\00:24:53.83
but just it's been
such a blessing working
00:24:53.84\00:24:56.02
with all these
guys, and they have filled
00:24:56.03\00:24:57.77
me up, and I'm
ready to do it again,
00:24:57.78\00:24:59.32
and praise God
for Him working there
00:24:59.33\00:25:02.26
because if it wasn't
for him nothing would
00:25:02.27\00:25:04.23
have happen, and
I've seen him take it
00:25:04.24\00:25:05.42
from the trailer, to
the little house that
00:25:05.43\00:25:07.33
was our school for
four years, and now
00:25:07.34\00:25:08.80
we're in this what I
feel like is like a Hilton,
00:25:08.81\00:25:11.80
it's gorgeous,
you know other people
00:25:11.81\00:25:13.60
are like it's just a
trailer, and I make them
00:25:13.61\00:25:15.02
know that is the
coolest school ever.
00:25:15.03\00:25:17.08
So, praise God for
working and for enabling
00:25:17.09\00:25:20.33
all of us as servants
for him and helping us
00:25:20.34\00:25:23.53
to have what we
need to accomplish,
00:25:23.54\00:25:24.83
what we need to
accomplish, so, amen.
00:25:24.84\00:25:28.72
Now these kids,
these young people,
00:25:32.39\00:25:34.67
they worked hard,
and we actually didn't
00:25:34.68\00:25:38.11
finish everything,
but there was a couple
00:25:38.12\00:25:40.58
of kids who went
back and here I'm with the
00:25:40.59\00:25:42.78
word kids again,
went back today and
00:25:42.79\00:25:45.09
Joseph was one of
them, Joseph, what happened?
00:25:45.10\00:25:48.04
Yesterday we finished
some stuff like may one
00:25:48.05\00:25:53.17
or two projects but
we didn't finish some
00:25:53.18\00:25:55.08
of the major things,
and we need to finish
00:25:55.09\00:25:56.30
like the ramp that
you see there didn't
00:25:56.31\00:25:58.23
get finished, and
there was a porch in back
00:25:58.24\00:25:59.94
that we really
wanted to get finished that
00:25:59.95\00:26:01.47
didn't get finished,
so we went back today
00:26:01.48\00:26:03.60
and got the ramp
finished, and the back
00:26:03.61\00:26:05.59
porch finished, and
there are some three
00:26:05.60\00:26:08.61
more things that we
would like to have gotten
00:26:08.62\00:26:10.09
done but we were
unable to get done,
00:26:10.10\00:26:11.15
but the Lord will
provide in those areas.
00:26:11.16\00:26:13.13
Amen. And Janay,
what were your thoughts
00:26:13.14\00:26:16.93
at the end of the
day yesterday as we
00:26:16.94\00:26:19.44
were leaving the
school? Well, all I could think
00:26:19.45\00:26:23.74
about all day was
this is the day to make me
00:26:23.75\00:26:25.94
thankful for
what I've in my home.
00:26:25.95\00:26:29.07
I live in America
but these kids live in
00:26:29.08\00:26:32.16
America as well,
and I've never seen what
00:26:32.17\00:26:36.61
I saw before. I
didn't get to meet the kids
00:26:36.62\00:26:38.36
I so wish I could
have met the kids,
00:26:38.37\00:26:40.31
but what Jessica
is doing is awesome,
00:26:40.32\00:26:43.44
and it is my blessed
to give and to receive
00:26:43.45\00:26:46.83
and I'm just so glad
that I had the experience.
00:26:46.84\00:26:49.44
Amen, we want our
young people to be
00:26:49.45\00:26:53.34
doing good in their
communities where ever
00:26:53.35\00:26:55.41
they go. I just want
to tell you those of you
00:26:55.42\00:26:57.01
who are parents
and have kids here,
00:26:57.02\00:26:58.62
they, especially
those that were, we've
00:26:58.63\00:27:01.78
got to work with,
boy they're good workers.
00:27:01.79\00:27:04.59
These guys out in the
hot sun really, really
00:27:04.60\00:27:08.47
moved, they were
amazing, and we hope that they
00:27:08.48\00:27:10.93
continue to go on,
and to dedicate the
00:27:10.94\00:27:13.56
rest of their lives in
service for the Master,
00:27:13.57\00:27:15.70
getting that
connection with Him and working.
00:27:15.71\00:27:18.05
By the way the
Maricopa Village Christian
00:27:18.06\00:27:20.21
School does
need further support,
00:27:20.22\00:27:22.02
so if you're looking for
00:27:22.03\00:27:23.40
opportunities
come and find Jessica.
00:27:23.41\00:27:25.64
Good evening everyone,
00:27:34.25\00:27:35.99
are you excited
to be here tonight?
00:27:37.72\00:27:39.55
Yes, we are very, very
excited to be here tonight.
00:27:39.56\00:27:43.38
My name is Kevin
Sears; I'm the coordinator
00:27:43.39\00:27:46.27
here for the
ASI Youth for Jesus,
00:27:46.28\00:27:49.12
the youth for Jesus
portion of the program.
00:27:49.13\00:27:51.57
And I'd like to tell
you a little bit about
00:27:51.58\00:27:53.36
how the program went
this year in Phoenix.
00:27:53.37\00:27:56.66
First I'll start out
by saying it was warm,
00:27:56.67\00:27:59.84
I think the
average temperature during
00:27:59.85\00:28:03.22
the month of July was
a 109, that's average,
00:28:03.23\00:28:07.02
which means it was
above that in order
00:28:07.03\00:28:09.08
to average it out.
And so it was warm,
00:28:09.09\00:28:11.54
we had a great
group, nobody complained
00:28:11.55\00:28:14.00
and incredible things
happened in this program
00:28:14.01\00:28:17.54
this year as
you're about to hear about
00:28:17.55\00:28:19.89
in a few minutes.
We worked with I guess
00:28:19.90\00:28:23.87
five sites, we
had the Tempe Church,
00:28:23.88\00:28:28.02
we had the Camelback Church,
00:28:28.03\00:28:30.30
we had the
Thunderbird Academy Church
00:28:30.31\00:28:32.55
which were
basically the main churches,
00:28:32.56\00:28:34.51
then we had a
Spanish Church and we had a
00:28:34.52\00:28:36.68
Community Service
Church that we worked
00:28:36.69\00:28:40.32
with as well. And
it's not actually a church
00:28:40.33\00:28:43.09
but some people
were holding meetings,
00:28:43.10\00:28:46.04
the NAPS group
were holding meetings
00:28:46.05\00:28:47.63
over at the Community Service,
00:28:47.64\00:28:49.35
and that was very exciting.
00:28:49.36\00:28:51.09
We had a lot of people
give their lives to Christ,
00:28:51.10\00:28:53.93
and a lot of
incredible things happened
00:28:53.94\00:28:56.38
in this program this year.
00:28:56.39\00:28:58.47
Now we're gonna
start out by interviewing,
00:28:58.48\00:29:03.60
I'll be interviewing
a few people tonight,
00:29:03.61\00:29:05.95
and our first person
is going to be Samiu.
00:29:05.96\00:29:09.10
Samiu come on up
here, this is Samiu Moala
00:29:09.11\00:29:12.18
and Samiu is from,
where are you from Samiu?
00:29:12.19\00:29:15.10
Salt Lake City,
Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah.
00:29:15.11\00:29:18.34
Samiu, how did you
find out about the Youth
00:29:18.35\00:29:20.99
for Jesus program? ASI
actually sent a couple,
00:29:21.00\00:29:27.19
a team of Bible
workers to our school Gem
00:29:27.20\00:29:29.26
State Adventist
Academy, and they lived in the
00:29:29.27\00:29:31.42
dormitories with us,
and they actually taught us
00:29:31.43\00:29:34.04
how to do evangelism.
And I was a part of that
00:29:34.05\00:29:36.95
program and it was
incredible, and Samiu,
00:29:36.96\00:29:40.07
there was something
significant that happened
00:29:40.08\00:29:42.45
in your life
during that program.
00:29:42.46\00:29:45.08
You made a decision,
a huge life decision,
00:29:45.09\00:29:48.51
why don't you tell us
a little bit about that?
00:29:48.52\00:29:50.31
I was actually
deciding to fully commit
00:29:50.32\00:29:52.55
my life to Christ
for the first time,
00:29:52.56\00:29:54.18
and as I was taking
this action the devil
00:29:54.19\00:29:56.70
immediately started
trying to tear my faith
00:29:56.71\00:29:59.31
apart and discourage
me. And so how did he do
00:29:59.32\00:30:03.68
that? I got a lot
of offers, not a lot of
00:30:03.69\00:30:09.81
offers I guess, I
don't know how to say this.
00:30:09.82\00:30:13.55
Well you are, he
was a rugby player,
00:30:13.56\00:30:17.20
and so what was
your dream growing up
00:30:17.21\00:30:20.59
as a young man?
To be a professional
00:30:20.60\00:30:23.37
rugby player that was my dream,
00:30:23.38\00:30:25.10
and as I was deciding
to give my life to Christ,
00:30:25.11\00:30:29.13
then the devil threw
some incredible offers
00:30:29.14\00:30:32.45
at me that I could
have taken to just be
00:30:32.46\00:30:34.90
involved with the
activities of the world,
00:30:34.91\00:30:37.63
and obviously I
declined those offers
00:30:37.64\00:30:40.38
because I'm standing before
00:30:40.39\00:30:41.45
you this evening to
testify that God is good,
00:30:41.46\00:30:44.30
amen. So, Samiu
actually received the
00:30:44.31\00:30:48.79
phone call for a full
scholarship at a college
00:30:48.80\00:30:52.90
in New Zealand I
think, yeah wasn't,
00:30:52.91\00:30:55.85
it's a rugby club.
Yeah it's a rugby club
00:30:55.86\00:30:58.25
they actually
played against them in the
00:30:58.26\00:31:00.76
summer time, and
then they actually
00:31:00.77\00:31:02.36
offered me to go and
play with them this year.
00:31:02.37\00:31:05.98
And so this was not
just an average phone
00:31:05.99\00:31:09.25
call from an
average person, this was the
00:31:09.26\00:31:12.09
Michael Jordan if
you will of rugby that
00:31:12.10\00:31:15.08
wanted Samiu to be
trained under him on
00:31:15.09\00:31:18.65
how to play, and so
how in the world did
00:31:18.66\00:31:20.86
you make a
decision to turn that down
00:31:20.87\00:31:23.47
as a young man and
follow Christ all the way
00:31:23.48\00:31:26.86
here to Phoenix in
July? Lots and lots,
00:31:26.87\00:31:31.67
and lots of prayer,
amen, lots of prayer.
00:31:31.68\00:31:35.41
Yes I just prayed,
ask God to guide me
00:31:35.42\00:31:39.87
and lead me and just
tell me what he wanted me
00:31:39.88\00:31:43.45
to do with my life
so. Amen. And so Samiu
00:31:43.46\00:31:46.35
actually made a
decision to be one
00:31:46.36\00:31:48.74
of our speakers at the Gem State
00:31:48.75\00:31:50.83
Academy program,
one of 13 speakers
00:31:50.84\00:31:54.23
and then we saw that
he would be the right
00:31:54.24\00:31:58.15
person to come
here, and be one of our
00:31:58.16\00:31:59.99
speakers at one
of the sites for the
00:32:00.00\00:32:02.44
Youth for Jesus
program. He was a speaker
00:32:02.45\00:32:05.28
along with Andrew
Yeager over at the
00:32:05.29\00:32:07.48
Thunderbird Academy
Church and it was an
00:32:07.49\00:32:10.17
incredible blessing
for them and for those
00:32:10.18\00:32:12.35
that came. And so Samiu,
real quick, what are your
00:32:12.36\00:32:15.26
future plans from
here? Actually next week
00:32:15.27\00:32:18.18
I'll be going to AFCO
to further my education
00:32:18.19\00:32:21.96
and just try to do
what's God calling me
00:32:21.97\00:32:24.79
to do for
evangelism. Amen, thank you
00:32:24.80\00:32:27.36
very much Samiu,
thank you go back.
00:32:27.37\00:32:30.58
And now next is,
this is Dick Knipple,
00:32:30.59\00:32:33.79
he is the Vice
President of Membership
00:32:33.80\00:32:36.85
and Recruiting for the
Pacific Union ASI Chapter.
00:32:36.86\00:32:42.20
And Dick has been
a member of ASI for
00:32:42.21\00:32:45.57
a long time I
believe, and he was an ardent
00:32:45.58\00:32:49.32
supporter here,
and he came to a lot of
00:32:49.33\00:32:51.63
training classes, he
came out almost every night
00:32:51.64\00:32:54.59
if not every
night to the meetings,
00:32:54.60\00:32:57.11
and he put a lot
of time into this,
00:32:57.12\00:32:58.96
and he was a
great blessing for us.
00:32:58.97\00:33:00.81
And so Dick, why don't
you tell us a little bit
00:33:00.82\00:33:03.40
from your
perspective about the program.
00:33:03.41\00:33:05.78
Sure I'll be happy
to Kevin, thank you.
00:33:05.79\00:33:08.34
You know every time
ASI comes around about
00:33:08.35\00:33:13.28
July we got started
here July 10 it ended
00:33:13.29\00:33:16.05
August 1. But about
a month or so before
00:33:16.06\00:33:19.48
the meetings kick
off I started thinking
00:33:19.49\00:33:22.27
about a statistic
that was generated
00:33:22.28\00:33:24.75
back in 2002
coming out of a study done
00:33:24.76\00:33:27.98
by the Southern
Baptist Convention.
00:33:27.99\00:33:30.45
It's a horrific
statistic, they said that 88
00:33:30.46\00:33:35.39
percent of
teenagers after they graduate
00:33:35.40\00:33:39.10
from high school
quit attending church.
00:33:39.11\00:33:41.97
The statistic that comes out of
00:33:41.98\00:33:45.60
Andrews University
just last year said that
00:33:45.61\00:33:49.09
40 to 50
percent and even more of
00:33:49.10\00:33:53.08
Seventh-day Adventist
students quit attending
00:33:53.09\00:33:55.31
church after
graduation from high school.
00:33:55.32\00:33:58.86
Are those horrible
statistics or what,
00:33:58.87\00:34:01.86
so here we got the
Youth for Jesus program?
00:34:03.41\00:34:06.28
What better way
to solidify the young
00:34:06.29\00:34:10.39
people into the
church then have them
00:34:10.40\00:34:13.27
out their winning souls, amen,
00:34:13.28\00:34:15.52
because how can you
go through a program
00:34:15.53\00:34:17.79
like this, ultimately
seen baptisms and then
00:34:17.80\00:34:22.99
just brush the Holy
Spirit aside, and say
00:34:23.00\00:34:27.08
you know ASH,
thanks for the memories
00:34:27.09\00:34:30.27
I'm gonna my own
way, but are the young
00:34:30.28\00:34:33.46
people that were
involved in this program
00:34:33.47\00:34:35.22
gonna do that? I
don't believe so.
00:34:35.23\00:34:37.63
I was trying to
think about some kind
00:34:37.64\00:34:40.73
of a remark to
make, you know always
00:34:40.74\00:34:43.11
ASI Youth for
Jesus is a greatest thing
00:34:43.12\00:34:45.90
since sliced bread,
well sliced bread dates
00:34:45.91\00:34:47.93
back to 1928. So
maybe we should say the
00:34:47.94\00:34:51.59
greatest thing
since the Internet,
00:34:51.60\00:34:54.76
may be since the
iPhone but I just can't
00:34:54.77\00:35:01.25
say enough, and I
had been so pleased
00:35:01.26\00:35:04.93
and so impressed
with the work done
00:35:04.94\00:35:07.72
by the team, done by
the individual members,
00:35:07.73\00:35:11.21
done by the
speakers, it takes a tremendous
00:35:11.22\00:35:14.95
amount of effort, but
the Holy Spirit was at work,
00:35:14.96\00:35:18.91
and after all what's
its all about, work to serve
00:35:18.92\00:35:23.59
God and work to win souls.
00:35:23.60\00:35:25.99
These young people
have had a fantastic
00:35:26.00\00:35:28.23
experience, haven't you, amen.
00:35:28.24\00:35:30.55
Raise your hands if
you would like to do this
00:35:32.03\00:35:33.91
again, amen,
amen, thank you all.
00:35:33.92\00:35:39.35
Amen, thank you
Dick. Alright, next on our
00:35:39.36\00:35:43.35
list here is this
is Pastor Ray Navarro,
00:35:43.36\00:35:45.86
he was the pastor
of the Tempe Church
00:35:45.87\00:35:48.64
which is directly
across the street from
00:35:48.65\00:35:50.74
Arizona State University,
and Pastor Ray was one
00:35:50.75\00:35:55.29
of the first pastors
that I had spoken with
00:35:55.30\00:35:58.08
when I first
came here in February,
00:35:58.09\00:36:00.77
and when I came
out of that meeting
00:36:00.78\00:36:02.82
I knew that this was
going to be a good program
00:36:02.83\00:36:05.76
here in Arizona. And
so pastor, why don't you
00:36:05.77\00:36:09.14
tell us from your
perspective what this
00:36:09.15\00:36:10.84
program has done
maybe for your church.
00:36:10.85\00:36:12.97
I think of what Jesus
said to spread the gospel,
00:36:12.98\00:36:17.75
to spread the
gospel to all the world,
00:36:17.76\00:36:19.97
and I think of the
book of Acts chapter 1
00:36:19.98\00:36:22.55
where he says start
in Jerusalem and then
00:36:22.56\00:36:24.46
in Samaria, etc,
and we wanted to start
00:36:24.47\00:36:29.04
obviously in Tempe
in our local church,
00:36:29.05\00:36:31.92
but there is
nothing that revitalizes an
00:36:31.93\00:36:35.01
individual and a
church, a group of people
00:36:35.02\00:36:37.47
more than when
they mobilize and work
00:36:37.48\00:36:39.94
together as a team,
and work to spread the
00:36:39.95\00:36:42.47
gospel of Jesus
Christ, it just does something
00:36:42.48\00:36:45.49
to you, it does
something to you not only as
00:36:45.50\00:36:47.27
an individual, but as a
whole group as a church,
00:36:47.28\00:36:50.29
and there was in fact
I believe was in January
00:36:50.30\00:36:53.71
that we had a meeting
at the conference office,
00:36:53.72\00:36:56.21
and I raised my
hand and yeah we wanna
00:36:56.22\00:36:58.00
be part of this as
the Tempe Church, and so
00:36:58.01\00:37:00.15
we signed up, we
received some Bible
00:37:00.16\00:37:03.24
workers Lee Roy was,
was around here some place
00:37:03.25\00:37:06.16
and we got some, there
he is right over there,
00:37:06.17\00:37:08.79
there is Lee Roy over
there, he was the first
00:37:08.80\00:37:10.99
to arrive and then
we got I actually wanna
00:37:11.00\00:37:13.31
recognize them,
Rachel, where is Rachel?
00:37:13.32\00:37:15.37
Here's Rachel
over here and Carla,
00:37:15.38\00:37:18.24
where is Carla another
Bible worker over there
00:37:18.25\00:37:20.38
and Dustin, where is
Dustin? Right over here,
00:37:20.39\00:37:22.69
and we got some
two great preachers
00:37:22.70\00:37:25.81
Raymond Torres is right
over here I just saw him
00:37:25.82\00:37:28.41
and David Webber right here.
00:37:28.42\00:37:29.94
I think they deserve
an applause or an amen
00:37:29.95\00:37:33.08
because they
did a wonderful job.
00:37:33.09\00:37:35.33
Our Tempe members
I need to say this,
00:37:35.34\00:37:38.76
our Tempe members we
had a training sessions
00:37:38.77\00:37:42.50
at the Camelback
Seventh-day Adventist
00:37:42.51\00:37:44.27
Church and our
members they were on board,
00:37:44.28\00:37:47.36
we had 40 members
week after week going
00:37:47.37\00:37:51.23
through the training
learning how to knock
00:37:51.24\00:37:52.67
on doors and give
Bible studies, and we have
00:37:52.68\00:37:54.81
four baptisms just
a couple of days ago,
00:37:54.82\00:37:58.82
and it just
revitalizes our church.
00:37:58.83\00:38:00.90
There is nothing more
that just really wakes
00:38:00.91\00:38:03.13
us up and shakes us
when we get together
00:38:03.14\00:38:05.67
and move to spread
the gospel of Jesus Christ
00:38:05.68\00:38:08.24
in our community.
Amen, thank you pastor.
00:38:08.25\00:38:10.76
Before we get to our
next we wanna break this up,
00:38:10.77\00:38:13.88
before we get to
our next testimonies
00:38:13.89\00:38:16.12
we would like to have a song,
00:38:16.13\00:38:17.88
and I would like to
introduce to you our
00:38:17.89\00:38:20.47
Youth for Jesus choir
and we're gonna have a
00:38:20.48\00:38:23.88
beautiful song
that will really set the
00:38:23.89\00:38:26.02
tempo for the
next few testimonies.
00:38:26.03\00:38:29.23
I, the Lord of sea and sky
00:38:59.10\00:39:04.00
I have heard my people cry
00:39:04.01\00:39:09.08
All who dwell in dark and sin
00:39:09.09\00:39:14.37
My hand will save:
00:39:14.38\00:39:19.63
I who made the stars of night
00:39:22.24\00:39:27.31
I will make the darkness bright
00:39:27.32\00:39:32.43
Who will bear my light to them?
00:39:32.44\00:39:37.62
Whom shall I send?
00:39:37.63\00:39:43.22
Here I am Lord Is it I Lord?
00:39:43.23\00:39:53.60
I have heard you
calling in the night
00:39:53.61\00:40:03.64
I will go Lord Where you lead me
00:40:03.65\00:40:14.07
I will hold your
people in my heart
00:40:14.08\00:40:23.95
For the Lord of snow and rain,
00:40:31.52\00:40:36.48
I have borne my people's pain,
00:40:36.49\00:40:41.78
I have wept for love of them,
00:40:41.79\00:40:47.00
They turn away.
00:40:47.01\00:40:52.75
I will break
their hearts of stone
00:40:54.86\00:40:59.77
Fill their
hearts with love alone
00:40:59.78\00:41:04.78
I will speak my word to them
00:41:04.79\00:41:09.87
Whom shall I send?
00:41:09.88\00:41:15.54
Here I am Lord, Is it I Lord?
00:41:15.55\00:41:26.35

calling in the night
00:41:26.36\00:41:35.94
I will go Lord,
Where you lead me
00:41:35.95\00:41:45.31

For the Lord of wind and flame
00:41:56.96\00:42:01.75
I will tend the poor and lame
00:42:01.76\00:42:06.41
I will set a feast for them
00:42:06.42\00:42:11.36
My hand will save:

00:42:28.53\00:42:33.70
Whom shall I send?
00:42:33.71\00:42:38.63
Here I am Lord Is it I Lord?
00:42:38.64\00:42:48.87

I will go Lord Where you lead me
00:42:58.61\00:43:08.56
I will hold your
people in my heart
00:43:08.57\00:43:19.18
I will hold your people
in my heart, in my heart.
00:43:19.19\00:43:38.22
Isn't it
beautiful? We knew you would
00:43:41.91\00:43:45.22

00:43:45.23\00:43:48.71
Alright, there we

00:43:48.72\00:43:51.06
enjoy that. Here I
have a couple of friends
00:43:51.07\00:43:53.45
of mine, there are
from the NAPS Organization.
00:43:53.46\00:43:56.57
Now NAPS is the
National Association for the
00:43:56.58\00:43:59.44
Prevention of
Starvation which is run out of
00:43:59.45\00:44:02.23
Oakwood College and
last few years they have
00:44:02.24\00:44:05.31
come on board with us
in the summer time to,
00:44:05.32\00:44:08.40
to do their program
in a couple of churches
00:44:08.41\00:44:11.48
and so here we've
Chance, we have Randrick Chance
00:44:11.49\00:44:14.66
and we have Trokon
Dalmeida and I will tell
00:44:14.67\00:44:18.73
you I've been so
privileged and blessed
00:44:18.74\00:44:21.33
as the NAPS has been
a part of our program.
00:44:21.34\00:44:24.17
You'll not find
just more respectable,
00:44:24.18\00:44:27.60
dedicated young
people, and so we're gonna
00:44:27.61\00:44:30.74
talk to them a little
bit they wanna share a
00:44:30.75\00:44:32.30
little bit about
the program that they
00:44:32.31\00:44:33.60
had here. Yes,
thank you Kevin, and so
00:44:33.61\00:44:36.92
Trokon is my
friend, he is Trokon,
00:44:36.93\00:44:39.62
how many churches
or how many sites did
00:44:39.63\00:44:42.43
NAPS actually work this year.
00:44:42.44\00:44:44.76
Well we had the
opportunity to work on
00:44:44.77\00:44:47.69
two different sites
this summer here in Phoenix.
00:44:47.70\00:44:50.49
And what were those two sites.
00:44:50.50\00:44:51.84
We work at the
Adventist Community Center
00:44:51.85\00:44:54.35
as well as the Monte
Vista Spanish Church.
00:44:54.36\00:44:56.67
Now what kind of
people do you actually serve
00:44:56.68\00:44:59.85
there at the
Community Center, what kind
00:44:59.86\00:45:01.55
of people come there
for service? Well on Monday,
00:45:01.56\00:45:04.36
Tuesday and
Wednesday are the homeless
00:45:04.37\00:45:06.45
people about 150
homeless people come
00:45:06.46\00:45:08.99
to the Community
Center; they receive food,
00:45:09.00\00:45:11.11
clothing as well as
food for them for the
00:45:11.12\00:45:14.10
course of the
week. Now what about the
00:45:14.11\00:45:15.71
staff that actually
work at the Community Center,
00:45:15.72\00:45:18.39
are they all
Adventist. Well there were four
00:45:18.40\00:45:20.89
of the staff member
that were non-Adventists
00:45:20.90\00:45:23.03
at the Community
Center. But after your programs
00:45:23.04\00:45:25.94
what happened? Well
we did a evangelistic
00:45:25.95\00:45:28.54
meeting at the
Adventist Community Center
00:45:28.55\00:45:30.57
and on a given night
we had 18 visitors on a
00:45:30.58\00:45:34.65
given night, and out
of those 18, 7 of them
00:45:34.66\00:45:37.18
decided to give their
life to the Lord including
00:45:37.19\00:45:39.66
four of the staff
members. Amen, amen,
00:45:39.67\00:45:43.60
so what you're saying
now, so now most of the
00:45:43.61\00:45:46.75
staff people there now
are actually Adventists?
00:45:46.76\00:45:50.20
Yes and as a result
there is a church now
00:45:50.21\00:45:52.30
being planted at the
Adventist Community Center.
00:45:52.31\00:45:54.71
Amen, now I'm very
interested in this second
00:45:54.72\00:45:58.10
site that we worked
which is the Monte Vista
00:45:58.11\00:46:00.70
Spanish Church, tell
us a little bit about the
00:46:00.71\00:46:02.71
Bible studies
that you had there?
00:46:02.72\00:46:04.48
It was a blessing
and the privilege to work
00:46:04.49\00:46:06.70
at the Monte
Vista Spanish Church.
00:46:06.71\00:46:08.91
The church member was
on fire, the pastor was
00:46:08.92\00:46:11.25
on board we conducted
some Bible study training,
00:46:11.26\00:46:14.58
and we took about a
150 church member out
00:46:14.59\00:46:16.99
in a community and
we survey about a 150
00:46:17.00\00:46:20.04
of people that were
interested in doing Bible
00:46:20.05\00:46:21.98
studies and out
of those 150 we had a
00:46:21.99\00:46:24.62
112 Bible study schedule while
00:46:24.63\00:46:26.75
we were in Phoenix.
A 112 Bible studies,
00:46:26.76\00:46:29.77
praise the Lord.
Now for the meetings,
00:46:29.78\00:46:32.88
for the meetings
what was the end result?
00:46:32.89\00:46:34.97
What were the end results there?
00:46:34.98\00:46:36.12
We had about 25
people come out each
00:46:36.13\00:46:38.29
and every night
and out of those 25
00:46:38.30\00:46:40.65
we had 18 people give
their life to the Lord.
00:46:40.66\00:46:43.36
18 people baptized,
praise God for that.
00:46:43.37\00:46:46.17
Now are you a Spanish speaker.
00:46:46.18\00:46:48.09
No actually I had a
translator that I was
00:46:48.10\00:46:50.51
working with call
Issawin. At the end of baptism
00:46:50.52\00:46:53.47
he looked at me and
say I wanna get baptized,
00:46:53.48\00:46:55.84
so I took
everything that I had, took my
00:46:55.85\00:46:57.82
cellphone off, we
got into the water,
00:46:57.83\00:46:59.80
he gave his life to
the Lord and he's inspiring
00:46:59.81\00:47:01.90
me to be a minister
also. And actually at
00:47:01.91\00:47:04.60
this moment we're
actually helping Issa,
00:47:04.61\00:47:06.69
we have filled out
an application for him
00:47:06.70\00:47:08.77
to be able to
attend Oakwood University,
00:47:08.78\00:47:11.25
so by the grace of
God hopefully he will
00:47:11.26\00:47:13.27
be there. I wanna
thank Kevin and Lisa
00:47:13.28\00:47:15.42
for the awesome
work that you been doing
00:47:15.43\00:47:17.24
there with all these youths.
00:47:17.25\00:47:18.86
So, thank you
guys for making NAPS
00:47:18.87\00:47:20.78
a part of the program every
00:47:20.79\00:47:22.04
year as well, thank you, amen.
00:47:22.05\00:47:24.93
If you like to
find out more about NAPS
00:47:27.05\00:47:29.10
you can certainly
approach them at the
00:47:29.11\00:47:30.63
end of the
program, and they'll be glad
00:47:30.64\00:47:32.66
to share more with you.
00:47:32.67\00:47:33.87
Now as my friends
Luke and Susan Skelton,
00:47:33.88\00:47:37.13
and they live here
and they have been,
00:47:37.14\00:47:40.24
they are the
hardest workers I think I've
00:47:40.25\00:47:42.69
ever met, and
they've been such supporters
00:47:42.70\00:47:46.03
of this program.
They actually did a lot
00:47:46.04\00:47:48.93
of the ground work
and set a lot of things
00:47:48.94\00:47:51.27
up way before we
even came to begin the
00:47:51.28\00:47:54.57
program here. And
so Luke and Susan,
00:47:54.58\00:47:56.76
I'd like you to
share with us how you
00:47:56.77\00:47:58.94
became such so
involved and what area
00:47:58.95\00:48:01.96
were you involved
in the program here?
00:48:01.97\00:48:03.57
Okay, well Kevin
you know when we were
00:48:03.58\00:48:05.99
unloading your truck
back in probably about
00:48:06.00\00:48:08.28
September, October
time frame in the parking
00:48:08.29\00:48:10.28
lot, I never would
have thought that we be
00:48:10.29\00:48:11.75
standing here and talking about,
00:48:11.76\00:48:12.79
we are standing here
talking about tonight.
00:48:12.80\00:48:14.88
But the Lord has
done amazing things here
00:48:14.89\00:48:17.56
in Arizona as you know
and its just a privilege
00:48:17.57\00:48:20.34
to be involved, and
its exciting to actually
00:48:20.35\00:48:23.53
share with everyone
that Phoenix, Arizona
00:48:23.54\00:48:25.80
now has by the grace
of God a new television
00:48:25.81\00:48:29.67
station that is broadcasting the
00:48:29.68\00:48:32.13
good news of Jesus
Christ 24 hours a day,
00:48:32.14\00:48:34.61
seven days a week
free to anyone that
00:48:34.62\00:48:37.87
has an antenna and can watch TV.
00:48:37.88\00:48:40.64
So its just amazing,
its under the umbrella
00:48:40.65\00:48:43.51
of the Arizona
Conference, its run by
00:48:43.52\00:48:45.39
volunteers, local
lay people here in the
00:48:45.40\00:48:47.53
community, and its
just been exciting to be
00:48:47.54\00:48:50.72
involved and a privilege
to be involved with ASI,
00:48:50.73\00:48:53.39
to help win souls for
Jesus here in Phoenix,
00:48:53.40\00:48:55.93
Arizona. Some of
the ways that we're
00:48:55.94\00:48:58.56
able to partner
with you all was that the
00:48:58.57\00:49:02.84
Bible workers and
the ASI Youth for Jesus
00:49:02.85\00:49:05.00
Youth went out in
the blazing heat door
00:49:05.01\00:49:07.86
to door
volunteers for Good News TV
00:49:07.87\00:49:09.91
telling people
about the new channel
00:49:09.92\00:49:12.89
and taking
surveys, and inviting people
00:49:12.90\00:49:15.61
to take Bible
studies which people
00:49:15.62\00:49:16.99
responded to, as
well as yourself Kevin
00:49:17.00\00:49:19.46
and the Bible workers
recorded several spots
00:49:19.47\00:49:21.92
for us offering free
Bible studies as well as
00:49:21.93\00:49:25.05
advertising for the
upcoming Revelation,
00:49:25.06\00:49:27.86
unlocking
Revelation seminars which the
00:49:27.87\00:49:30.17
viewers also
responded to us, it was very
00:49:30.18\00:49:31.90
exciting and also.
You may go on, basically
00:49:31.91\00:49:36.86
we were able to
broadcast the ASI Youth
00:49:36.87\00:49:40.04
for Jesus programs
live on TV here in Phoenix,
00:49:40.05\00:49:42.62
Arizona, amen, amen.
And people responded,
00:49:42.63\00:49:46.89
people responded,
we had people come out
00:49:46.90\00:49:51.34
that had been
watching it on TV, that
00:49:51.35\00:49:53.46
ended up coming
to the live programs
00:49:53.47\00:49:55.87
and making
decisions for Jesus, amen.
00:49:55.88\00:49:59.46
And in fact we've
visited with at least a few
00:49:59.47\00:50:01.95
that are actually
here at the convention
00:50:01.96\00:50:03.78
this weekend, so
praise the Lord for what
00:50:03.79\00:50:05.81
he's been doing. We
praise God so much for
00:50:05.82\00:50:09.91
ASI and Youth for
Jesus, so we just wanna thank
00:50:09.92\00:50:11.94
every single one of
you so much for your hard
00:50:11.95\00:50:14.25
work, for sharing
with us all your enthusiasm
00:50:14.26\00:50:17.94
and love for Jesus,
and the word of God and
00:50:17.95\00:50:20.70
we're gonna miss you.
You just, we've fallen
00:50:20.71\00:50:23.99
in love with you and
thank you, thank you,
00:50:24.00\00:50:25.48
thank you and praise God.
00:50:25.49\00:50:26.86
Thank you, thank you guys, amen.
00:50:26.87\00:50:29.60
Alright next stop is
Aubrey and Aubrey Seiler,
00:50:29.61\00:50:34.05
how old are you
Aubrey? I'm 17, 17
00:50:34.06\00:50:37.62
so you're like an
experienced veteran at,
00:50:37.63\00:50:40.13
she was one of our
speakers at Camelback,
00:50:40.14\00:50:43.35
and so you had all
kinds of experience in this.
00:50:43.36\00:50:45.78
How many times
have you done this?
00:50:45.79\00:50:47.75
I just finished my
first one. So this was your
00:50:47.76\00:50:51.84
first one here at
Camelback, wow, that's
00:50:51.85\00:50:55.00
interesting. You
would have never have known
00:50:55.01\00:50:56.64
it by the way that
you, the Lord worked
00:50:56.65\00:51:00.10
through you. Now
so how long have you
00:51:00.11\00:51:02.62
been involved in
evangelism? Well,
00:51:02.63\00:51:07.59
basically last Youth
for Jesus and this Youth
00:51:07.60\00:51:10.76
for Jesus, so two summers.
00:51:10.77\00:51:12.63
Excellent and so this
summer you were a speaker,
00:51:12.64\00:51:14.75
is there something
about this program this year
00:51:14.76\00:51:17.22
that you would say
really stood out that you
00:51:17.23\00:51:19.44
like to share with
our audience tonight?
00:51:19.45\00:51:21.60
Well, can I hold the mic? Yes.
00:51:21.61\00:51:25.54
Basically just the
opportunity of being a
00:51:25.55\00:51:32.92
speaker is one of the
most amazing experiences
00:51:32.93\00:51:35.83
because you have the
privilege of letting the
00:51:35.84\00:51:40.08
Lord work through
you, and seeing lives
00:51:40.09\00:51:43.45
changed in a matter
of weeks that you would
00:51:43.46\00:51:46.52
never see anywhere
else. Just seeing somebody's
00:51:46.53\00:51:50.37
life going from
being completely opposed to
00:51:50.38\00:51:53.33
what you're trying
to convey to watching
00:51:53.34\00:51:55.80
them be baptized
weeks later is one of the
00:51:55.81\00:51:58.43
most amazing experiences. Amen.
00:51:58.44\00:52:01.26
And so is there,
now I'm looking out here
00:52:01.27\00:52:05.35
and I see somebody
in the second row to
00:52:05.36\00:52:08.35
my right, I'm not
going to point her out
00:52:08.36\00:52:10.40
but is there
something about that you would
00:52:10.41\00:52:13.19
like to share about
that. Do I say her name,
00:52:13.20\00:52:17.71
sure, okay, okay,
well one of my, I say in
00:52:17.72\00:52:23.19
my contacts, she was
actually Kevin's contacts,
00:52:23.20\00:52:25.67
her name is Mary,
she was Catholic and
00:52:25.68\00:52:30.84
strongly not quite
interested in what Kevin
00:52:30.85\00:52:33.88
was trying to get
across to her in the few weeks
00:52:33.89\00:52:36.72
he was here. But
Kevin was persistent and
00:52:36.73\00:52:40.73
finally got into
the house and they were
00:52:40.74\00:52:44.50
actually
interested in Bible studies,
00:52:44.51\00:52:45.99
so they sat to
work on Bible studies
00:52:46.00\00:52:47.76
and when I came to
the Camelback Church
00:52:47.77\00:52:50.16
I instantly hit
it off with Mary.
00:52:50.17\00:52:53.09
She became like
my second mom to me
00:52:53.10\00:52:55.55
and we just felt
this really strong bond
00:52:55.56\00:52:59.41
and then I was told
that she would be leaving,
00:52:59.42\00:53:04.85
her and her son
Joey, would be leaving
00:53:04.86\00:53:08.55
for Wyoming the
weekend before the baptism.
00:53:08.56\00:53:15.22
So I was very,
very, very sad because
00:53:15.23\00:53:18.18
I knew she had
marched, she decided for baptism
00:53:18.19\00:53:20.81
and I was just
praying that something would
00:53:20.82\00:53:23.58
happen that she
would be able to stay
00:53:23.59\00:53:24.87
and be baptized. And
so I was sitting there
00:53:24.88\00:53:27.85
in the front
row at baptism night
00:53:27.86\00:53:29.85
and she wasn't
there and I was very sad,
00:53:29.86\00:53:32.21
and I was asking
the Lord, why he hadn't
00:53:32.22\00:53:33.49
answered my prayers
thinking about Mary,
00:53:33.50\00:53:35.41
and all of sudden
someone comes and sits
00:53:35.42\00:53:36.99
down beside me in
their baptismal robe,
00:53:37.00\00:53:39.03
and I look over to
my right and its Mary
00:53:39.04\00:53:42.33
and I burst out crying,
and you know I felt like
00:53:42.34\00:53:46.65
interrupt Doug Batchelor
during his presentation
00:53:46.66\00:53:48.88
but it was, it was
one of the most amazing
00:53:48.89\00:53:51.08
experiences, and we
were just there holding
00:53:51.09\00:53:52.82
each other and crying,
and she kept on saying,
00:53:52.83\00:53:55.72
oh Aubrey! You
changed my life, you saved
00:53:55.73\00:53:57.83
my life, and I had
to say no Mary it wasn't
00:53:57.84\00:54:00.09
me it was God
that changed your life,
00:54:00.10\00:54:03.14
so that was amazing. Thank you.
00:54:03.15\00:54:05.08
Now Aubrey since you
had a taste for evangelism
00:54:05.09\00:54:09.95
and you've seen how
it changes people's lives
00:54:09.96\00:54:12.14
what would you say to
our audience here tonight.
00:54:12.15\00:54:14.23
I'm 17 years old,
I've never done something
00:54:14.24\00:54:19.02
like this before
expect this summer.
00:54:19.03\00:54:20.95
I had no clue what
I was doing, and yet
00:54:20.96\00:54:23.48
if I let my life stay
open to God he was able
00:54:23.49\00:54:26.53
to guide and
work in amazing ways.
00:54:26.54\00:54:28.39
So, if I can do it,
a 17 year old anyone of
00:54:28.40\00:54:32.04
you can do it, amen,
so just keep that in mind
00:54:32.05\00:54:34.98
because we can all do
this. Thank you Aubrey.
00:54:34.99\00:54:38.02
Anyone of us can
do it, amen, amen.
00:54:38.03\00:54:40.97
Alright now our last
certainly not least is
00:54:40.98\00:54:45.24
Jordan Kizzire
and we love Jordan.
00:54:45.25\00:54:48.73
Jordan was coming
to the meetings at
00:54:48.74\00:54:51.13
Camelback Church,
and Jordan, how did you
00:54:51.14\00:54:54.36
find out about the
meetings? I got a flyer
00:54:54.37\00:54:57.18
in the mail, got a
flyer in the mail and did
00:54:57.19\00:54:59.77
you come immediately
out. No, I was actually
00:54:59.78\00:55:03.74
gonna throw it
away the day I got it,
00:55:03.75\00:55:05.10
but the Holy Spirit
said hang on to that.
00:55:05.11\00:55:07.01
A few weeks later
I was in my room and
00:55:07.02\00:55:09.85
he told me to get it
out and go because he has
00:55:09.86\00:55:11.57
something for me
there and I got up and went.
00:55:11.58\00:55:14.10
Now he has an
amazing story and afterwards
00:55:14.11\00:55:18.12
I want you to
approach him and ask him
00:55:18.13\00:55:19.44
about it, but we
gonna tell a little bit
00:55:19.45\00:55:20.76
about that. You had
a dream sometime ago
00:55:20.77\00:55:23.54
tell us about that
quickly. A little over a year
00:55:23.55\00:55:26.38
ago on June 20th
the Lord gave me a dream
00:55:26.39\00:55:30.57
and basically what
it was is I was out at
00:55:30.58\00:55:34.24
my real estate
office and I stepped outside
00:55:34.25\00:55:36.25
of the office and
I happened to notice
00:55:36.26\00:55:37.84
that on the same
light as the office was
00:55:37.85\00:55:40.70
this massive barn and
then leading to the barn
00:55:40.71\00:55:44.10
were these four of
these most beautiful
00:55:44.11\00:55:46.14
sunflowers that I've
ever seen, and he told me
00:55:46.15\00:55:48.82
to write it down, so I
wrote it down and exactly
00:55:48.83\00:55:51.29
13 months later he
revealed to me what
00:55:51.30\00:55:54.33
that dream was,
through the scriptures
00:55:54.34\00:55:57.18
the barn, he spoke to me through
00:55:57.19\00:55:58.87
Proverbs 3:9-10, Honor
the Lord from your wealth
00:55:58.88\00:56:02.22
and from the first
of all your produce;
00:56:02.23\00:56:03.98
so your barns will
be filled with plenty
00:56:03.99\00:56:06.00
and your vats will
overflow with new wine.
00:56:06.45\00:56:08.86
I then asked him,
what was up with the
00:56:09.61\00:56:11.70
sunflowers because I
can't find sunflowers
00:56:11.71\00:56:14.14
in the scripture,
but lovingly He showed me
00:56:14.15\00:56:17.78
that what it was it
had to do with a particular
00:56:17.79\00:56:20.83
Commandment of
his. And 13 months later
00:56:21.23\00:56:24.84
through Youth for
Jesus something was dropped
00:56:25.45\00:56:27.80
off at my house on a
Sunday afternoon and.
00:56:27.81\00:56:34.00
So I would like to
show you what was dropped
00:56:35.42\00:56:36.90
off at his house. If
we could get a picture
00:56:36.91\00:56:39.73
of this or get a close
up of that, the youth had
00:56:39.74\00:56:43.48
dropped this off of
all pictures on a magazine
00:56:43.49\00:56:47.16
at Jordan's front
door. Yeah, now real quick
00:56:47.44\00:56:50.83
that is obviously
a sunflower and this
00:56:50.84\00:56:52.79
magazine is called a
Biblical Lord's Day and
00:56:52.80\00:56:54.69
his purpose and
it's particularly dealing
00:56:54.70\00:56:56.42
with the Sabbath
and when it truly is,
00:56:56.43\00:56:58.14
which is
Saturday. Now the sunflowers
00:56:58.61\00:57:01.73
represented, that my
real estate office and
00:57:01.74\00:57:05.35
the barn were on the
same lob but they were
00:57:05.36\00:57:07.31
not connected
because work and Sabbath are
00:57:07.32\00:57:09.97
not connected. The
only way to get to that barn
00:57:09.98\00:57:13.31
was to follow the four
sunflowers that were in
00:57:13.85\00:57:16.32
perfect alignment to that barn.
00:57:16.84\00:57:18.50
Now the journal entry
that I wrote this on here
00:57:19.26\00:57:21.21
has preprinted
scriptures at the bottom of the
00:57:21.22\00:57:23.57
page and you can
decide for yourself,
00:57:23.58\00:57:26.12
this was the verse at the
00:57:26.87\00:57:28.33
bottom of this journal entry.
00:57:28.34\00:57:30.70
Psalm 128:1, 2: Blessed, happy,
00:57:31.02\00:57:34.82
fortunate is
everyone who fears, reveres,
00:57:34.83\00:57:37.57
and worships the
Lord, who walks in His ways
00:57:37.58\00:57:40.78
and lives according
to His commandments.
00:57:40.79\00:57:43.73
For you shall eat the
fruit of the labor of your
00:57:44.38\00:57:46.36
hands; happy blessed,
fortunate, shall you be,
00:57:46.37\00:57:49.46
and it shall be well with you.
00:57:49.88\00:57:51.37
Now the thing
that really got me was
00:57:52.25\00:57:53.93
I asked the Holy
Spirit I said, why were there
00:57:53.94\00:57:56.62
four sunflowers and
He asked me, what is the
00:57:56.63\00:58:02.81
fourth Commandment
and it is remember the
00:58:02.82\00:58:06.34
Sabbath and keep it holy!
00:58:06.35\00:58:08.11
Amen, amen. Thank you Jordan.
00:58:09.21\00:58:11.98
