Good evening and
greetings from the
00:01:00.70\00:01:02.98
ASI Youth Convention.
Most of you are probably
00:01:03.01\00:01:06.68
aware that while
you're adult meetings
00:01:06.71\00:01:09.15
are being held,
we have a separate
00:01:09.18\00:01:11.33
and complete youth convention
00:01:11.36\00:01:12.74
going on for the
children. Our leaders
00:01:12.77\00:01:16.30
have all been
working for many months
00:01:16.33\00:01:17.94
to carefully
plan and prepare the
00:01:17.97\00:01:20.56
special programs
for your children.
00:01:20.59\00:01:22.47
Our goal is not to entertain
00:01:22.50\00:01:24.89
the young people, but to provide
00:01:24.92\00:01:27.05
uplifting speakers, activities
00:01:27.08\00:01:30.07
and programming to lead
the young people to have
00:01:30.10\00:01:34.47
a closure walk with
God and now I would like to
00:01:34.50\00:01:38.92
give you the
opportunity to meet our leaders.
00:01:38.95\00:01:42.60
Well, good evening
everyone my name is
00:02:01.22\00:02:03.87
Teresa Hargreaves
and our family has had
00:02:03.90\00:02:06.64
the privilege
of working with the
00:02:06.67\00:02:08.94
kindergarten
department. Our theme this year
00:02:08.97\00:02:12.51
has been preparing to meet Jesus
00:02:12.54\00:02:14.95
and we have been
learning many things on
00:02:14.98\00:02:17.69
how we can be ready
for Jesus soon coming.
00:02:17.72\00:02:21.16
We first learned
about the image of Daniel 2
00:02:21.19\00:02:24.90
and how God says
something it happens
00:02:24.93\00:02:27.97
and that we know
the God's word is true
00:02:28.00\00:02:32.03
and then we also
learned that the stone
00:02:32.06\00:02:34.90
which came down and
hit the image represents
00:02:34.93\00:02:37.36
Jesus soon coming
kingdom and because
00:02:37.39\00:02:40.21
its easier to remember
our Bible verses to song
00:02:40.24\00:02:43.55
we learn some memory
verses and we would like
00:02:43.58\00:02:46.25
to share them with each of you.
00:02:46.28\00:02:48.55
The stone that
hit the image became
00:02:57.08\00:03:03.63
a large mountain. And
it filled the whole earth.
00:03:03.66\00:03:11.85
The stone that
hit the image became
00:03:11.88\00:03:18.17
a large mountain. And
it filled the whole earth.
00:03:18.20\00:03:27.06
Thy word is
true Thy word is true
00:03:33.70\00:03:43.85
Psalm 119:160
says Thy word is true
00:03:43.88\00:03:54.55
And one of the ways
we prepare for Jesus
00:03:54.58\00:03:56.90
soon coming is by
putting the Bible promises
00:03:56.93\00:03:59.92
into our minds. So children,
00:03:59.95\00:04:02.42
what is the Bible like?
Lamp, a lamp that's right
00:04:02.45\00:04:07.03
and we gonna
share song about that.
00:04:07.06\00:04:08.74
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
00:04:12.74\00:04:20.76
And a light unto my
path. Thy Word is a lamp,
00:04:20.79\00:04:29.00
Thy Word is a lamp
unto my feet, Psalm 119:105
00:04:29.03\00:04:46.00
So, now children
when is Jesus coming?
00:04:46.90\00:04:49.38
Soon, yes you are right.
00:04:49.41\00:04:52.36
And, behold, I come quickly;
00:04:55.88\00:05:01.80
And, behold, I come
quickly; Revelation 22:12
00:05:01.83\00:05:11.59
So, we have
greatly enjoyed having
00:05:11.62\00:05:14.75
your children with us in the
00:05:14.78\00:05:16.23
Kindergarten
department and I pray the God
00:05:16.26\00:05:19.23
will help each of us
to be preparing to meet
00:05:19.26\00:05:22.49
Jesus as we have learned about
00:05:22.52\00:05:24.03
this week. Thank you. Amen.
00:05:24.06\00:05:27.56
Good evening! Good evening,
00:05:42.31\00:05:45.63
it has been so much
fun to work with this group
00:05:46.90\00:05:50.15
of primaries. They
have worked diligently
00:05:50.18\00:05:53.34
and memorized
the Ten Commandments
00:05:53.37\00:05:55.35
and what have we
studied this year? Sanctuary.
00:05:55.38\00:05:59.75
And what else? God
advice because teach us that
00:05:59.78\00:06:04.78
there is
transformation through Jesus
00:06:04.81\00:06:07.46
and so we would like
to sing a favorite song
00:06:07.49\00:06:11.47
that the students
chose and if you would
00:06:11.50\00:06:14.05
like to say the Ten
Commandments with them
00:06:14.08\00:06:16.31
they would like to
recite the Ten Commandments
00:06:16.34\00:06:19.21
they learned in the
past couple of days.
00:06:19.24\00:06:21.06
Jesus died on the
cross so you could live
00:06:36.71\00:06:41.97
with Him in heaven some day
00:06:42.00\00:06:45.54
I'll feel Thou is
coming again very soon
00:06:45.57\00:06:49.70
That's why I'm a SDA.
I'm a Seventh-Day Adventist
00:06:49.73\00:06:57.53
and I want the world to know it
00:06:57.56\00:07:01.33
My heart is full of Jesus serve
00:07:01.36\00:07:05.66
and I want the
world to share with.
00:07:05.69\00:07:09.77
I may be from above,
but there's a world of God
00:07:09.80\00:07:14.22
and Jesus shows me
the way So I worship
00:07:14.25\00:07:19.10
and I serve big on Sabbath Day,
00:07:19.13\00:07:22.20
that's why I'm a SDA. I'm a
00:07:22.23\00:07:27.61
Seventh-Day
Adventist and I want to world
00:07:27.64\00:07:32.32

and I want the
world to share with.
00:07:38.10\00:07:42.65
"Thou shalt have no
other gods before me."
00:07:42.68\00:07:49.23
"Thou shalt not make
unto thee any graven image,
00:07:49.26\00:07:55.34
or any likeness of any thing
00:07:55.37\00:07:58.55
that is in heaven
above, or that is in the earth
00:07:58.58\00:08:02.04
beneath, or that is in
the water under the earth."
00:08:02.07\00:08:05.65
"Thou shalt not bow
down thyself unto them,
00:08:05.68\00:08:09.23
nor serve them:
for I the Lord thy God
00:08:09.26\00:08:13.40
am a jealous God,
visiting the iniquity
00:08:13.43\00:08:17.49
of the fathers upon
the children unto the third
00:08:17.52\00:08:21.07
and fourth generation
of them that hate me,"
00:08:21.10\00:08:24.87
"And shewing mercy
unto thousands of them
00:08:24.90\00:08:29.48
that love me and
keep my commandments."
00:08:29.51\00:08:33.49
"Thou shalt not
take the name of the Lord
00:08:33.52\00:08:37.82
thy God in vain; for
the Lord will not hold him
00:08:37.85\00:08:41.96
guiltless that
taketh his name in vain."
00:08:41.99\00:08:45.15
"Remember the
Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
00:08:45.18\00:08:49.96
Six days shalt thou labour,
00:08:49.99\00:08:52.60
and do all thy
work: But the seventh day
00:08:52.63\00:08:56.81
is the sabbath
of the Lord thy God:
00:08:56.84\00:09:00.25
In it thou
shalt not do any work,
00:09:00.28\00:09:04.12
thou, nor thy
son, nor thy daughter,
00:09:04.15\00:09:08.19
thy manservant,
nor thy maidservant,
00:09:08.22\00:09:11.68
nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger
00:09:11.71\00:09:14.94
that is within thy
gates: For in six days
00:09:14.97\00:09:18.79
the Lord made
heaven and earth, the sea,
00:09:18.82\00:09:22.32
and all that in
them is, and rested the
00:09:22.35\00:09:26.54
seventh day:
wherefore the Lord blessed
00:09:26.57\00:09:29.99
the sabbath day,
and hallowed it."
00:09:30.02\00:09:32.91
"Honor thy
father and thy mother:
00:09:32.94\00:09:37.12
that thy days may
be long upon the land
00:09:37.15\00:09:40.25
which the LORD
thy God giveth thee"
00:09:40.28\00:09:42.92
Thou shalt not kill.
"Thou shalt not commit adultery.
00:09:42.95\00:09:49.24
Thou shalt not
steal. Thou shalt not bear
00:09:49.27\00:09:54.36
false witness
against thy neighbor.
00:09:54.39\00:09:57.19
Thou shalt not covet
the thy neighbor's house.
00:09:57.22\00:10:00.99
Thou shalt not
covet thy neighbor's wife.
00:10:01.02\00:10:04.45
Thou shalt not covet
thy neighbor's manservant
00:10:04.48\00:10:08.71
nor the maidservant
nor the ox nor the ass
00:10:08.74\00:10:13.51
nor anything that
this is thy neighbor's."
00:10:13.54\00:10:16.93
Good evening ASI,
it's been a privilege
00:10:52.72\00:10:56.05
for our family
to be serving in the
00:10:56.08\00:10:58.12
junior department.
We have a variety of
00:10:58.15\00:11:01.00
students here from
the ages of 10 to 12 that
00:11:01.03\00:11:04.37
they had learned many things.
00:11:04.40\00:11:05.77
This year as a theme
for ASI was living for Jesus
00:11:05.80\00:11:10.97
body, mind, and
spirit and we have the
00:11:11.00\00:11:13.74
opportunity to have
14 different speakers
00:11:13.77\00:11:17.43
that are
energetic, Godly men and women
00:11:17.46\00:11:20.07
that came to speak
to them, to help them
00:11:20.10\00:11:21.72
to lift their lives
up to a higher standard
00:11:21.75\00:11:24.49
and so the children
had taken this to heart
00:11:24.52\00:11:27.47
and had made a
desire of this as well.
00:11:27.50\00:11:29.92
And also one of the things that
00:11:29.95\00:11:32.73
we had opportunity to
do was to do an health expo
00:11:32.76\00:11:37.26
for the young
people and so we had four,
00:11:37.29\00:11:39.74
four physicians, five nurses,
00:11:39.77\00:11:43.46
one nurse
practitioner, a teacher
00:11:43.49\00:11:45.25
and a variety of other
people that came to help
00:11:45.28\00:11:48.24
and do the health expo
and so they have learned
00:11:48.27\00:11:50.76
the eight natural laws
in which they each of these
00:11:50.79\00:11:53.78
young people have been
assigned to a different
00:11:53.81\00:11:56.46
group named after one
of the eight natural laws.
00:11:56.49\00:11:59.11
And so they have made
a desire to want to live
00:11:59.14\00:12:01.72
for Jesus everyday of
their lives from here on
00:12:01.75\00:12:04.99
and we praise the
Lord for that. Amen.
00:12:05.02\00:12:07.62
Well this year the
junior mission project
00:12:08.90\00:12:11.09
was to knit hats
for people in Mongolia.
00:12:11.12\00:12:14.20
So, each child diligently
worked knitting the hats
00:12:14.23\00:12:18.29
and today I have
a Ileana and Reed
00:12:18.32\00:12:22.43
and they wanted to
bring a sample of the hats
00:12:22.46\00:12:24.33
that we knitted and
show you and these hats
00:12:24.36\00:12:27.53
will be going to
Mongolia through Gospel
00:12:27.56\00:12:29.66
Ministries International
and they will go to
00:12:29.69\00:12:32.72
the children
there who live in very
00:12:32.75\00:12:34.57
cold conditions
and we are so happy
00:12:34.60\00:12:37.66
with the enthusiasm
that the junior showed
00:12:37.69\00:12:40.05
for this project
and we know this project
00:12:40.08\00:12:42.79
will bless the
children in Mongolia,
00:12:42.82\00:12:44.59
but the children here
at ASI were definitely
00:12:44.62\00:12:47.06
blessed from that also. Amen.
00:12:47.09\00:12:49.26
Yes, we're going to
be reciting a verse of
00:12:49.29\00:12:52.23
Romans 12, 1 and 2
which was our theme.
00:12:52.26\00:12:54.63
Our theme text for
the last couple of days
00:12:54.66\00:12:58.14
and they have
memorize it to heart
00:12:58.17\00:12:59.67
and then also they
will be presenting our
00:12:59.70\00:13:01.24
theme song as well.
What a joy to live for Jesus
00:13:01.27\00:13:03.82
and they want to do
that joyfully to live
00:13:03.85\00:13:05.83
for Jesus everyday,
body, mind, and spirit.
00:13:05.86\00:13:08.37
I beseech you
therefore, brethren,
00:13:19.82\00:13:22.09
by the mercies of
God, that ye present
00:13:22.12\00:13:25.73
your bodies a
living sacrifice, holy,
00:13:25.76\00:13:29.42
acceptable unto God, which is
00:13:29.45\00:13:32.10
your reasonable
service. And be not conformed
00:13:32.13\00:13:36.20
to this world:
but be ye transformed
00:13:36.23\00:13:39.26
by the renewing of your mind,
00:13:39.29\00:13:41.32
that ye may prove
what is that good,
00:13:41.35\00:13:44.29
and acceptable, and
perfect will of God.
00:13:44.32\00:13:47.38
Romans 12:1 and 2. Amen.
00:13:47.41\00:13:52.38
Praise the Lord who bless us,
00:14:10.34\00:14:14.61
Praise the Son of joy and peace,
00:14:14.64\00:14:18.83
Such a world of
the love and beauty,
00:14:18.86\00:14:23.57
He is our King so
let's sing and praise,
00:14:23.60\00:14:28.08
What a joy to live for Jesus
00:14:28.11\00:14:32.64
We're delight to say his prayers
00:14:32.67\00:14:37.17
Every praise is in his presence,
00:14:37.20\00:14:41.84
As we serve on all our days
00:14:41.87\00:14:47.07
Amen. Thank you very much.
00:14:47.10\00:14:49.98
What is it mean to
live ever only all for
00:15:54.54\00:15:58.14
Jesus Christ?
What is it look like
00:15:58.17\00:16:00.83
and how does our consecration to
00:16:00.86\00:16:05.40
Christ impact our
service for others
00:16:05.43\00:16:07.63
that's what our
family and your early teens
00:16:07.66\00:16:11.00
had been thinking
about, talking about,
00:16:11.03\00:16:14.56
and praying about this weekend.
00:16:14.59\00:16:17.33
And God has
been teaching us that
00:16:18.30\00:16:21.00
as our shirts say
consecration to Him
00:16:21.03\00:16:24.19
means to the ever in
his presence doing only
00:16:24.22\00:16:27.68
his will all the
time. He has given us
00:16:27.71\00:16:31.83
a taste of the joy
that comes from commitment
00:16:31.86\00:16:34.11
to him and he has
granted us a thrill of
00:16:34.14\00:16:36.82
excitement about service
being his hands to others.
00:16:36.85\00:16:41.75
We are His hands to
touch the world around us.
00:16:59.53\00:17:09.01
We are His feet to
go where He may lead.
00:17:09.04\00:17:18.28
And we are His love
burning in the darkness.
00:17:18.31\00:17:29.04
We are His light
shining in the night.
00:17:29.07\00:17:39.75
We are His eyes to
see the needs in others.
00:17:41.76\00:17:52.19
We are His voice
to tell of His return.
00:17:52.22\00:18:01.56
And we are His love
burning in the darkness.
00:18:01.59\00:18:11.96
We are His light
shining in the night.
00:18:11.99\00:18:22.42
Take my life and
let it be Consecrated,
00:18:25.09\00:18:33.09
Lord, to Thee. Take my hands
00:18:33.12\00:18:38.05
and let them move At
the impulse of Thy love.
00:18:38.08\00:18:47.11
Take my lips and
let them be filled
00:18:48.71\00:18:55.11
with messages
from Thee Take my voice
00:18:55.14\00:19:03.04
and I will sing,
ever only for my king.
00:19:03.07\00:19:11.40
Jesus made my life a song, and
00:19:11.43\00:19:17.47
we will praise you all day long
00:19:17.50\00:19:21.29
I have my words given to Thee,
00:19:21.32\00:19:26.41
I begin in back to thee,
00:19:26.44\00:19:31.55
Take my life and let it be
00:19:31.58\00:19:41.33
Take myself and I will be
00:19:41.36\00:19:48.70
Ever, only, all for
Thee Ever, only, all for Thee
00:19:48.73\00:20:07.72
Are we ever be in
His presence to meet
00:21:03.59\00:21:07.35
only His love all
the time our shirt
00:21:07.38\00:21:11.98
say it through our life say it.
00:21:12.01\00:21:14.95
We are training that
will make us more able to be
00:21:19.38\00:21:23.03
sermon, a sermon
issues no matter where we go.
00:21:23.06\00:21:26.00
I just learned a
lot and I think that
00:22:06.25\00:22:08.61
this knowledge will
really help me to help
00:22:08.64\00:22:10.29
people when they need help.
00:22:10.32\00:22:12.02
If there is no breath
or there is no circulation,
00:22:14.64\00:22:17.81
we need several themes on this.
00:22:17.84\00:22:20.17
Just think about all
that Christ has given you
00:22:23.52\00:22:28.17
and then ponder
what you can give him
00:22:28.20\00:22:33.44
only you have your
heart again and that's all he
00:22:35.79\00:22:40.25
is asking for your
heart, your mind, your all.
00:22:40.28\00:22:48.48
Every last
presence do we hold his will
00:22:51.68\00:22:55.06
or it's from tonight I
am very sure we will miss it
00:22:55.09\00:22:59.04
and hide it in the
presence of our king.
00:22:59.07\00:23:02.10
Just imagine the joy
in his heart to look down
00:23:02.13\00:23:05.72
from heaven and see a
whole classroom of Christ
00:23:05.75\00:23:09.10
turn to him and a
whole classroom of
00:23:09.13\00:23:11.69
hearts choosing to be his.
00:23:11.72\00:23:14.24
Good evening ASI
this is our youth division
00:24:08.85\00:24:12.94
this year and our
theme is right faith,
00:24:12.97\00:24:16.31
right now. And we have
really tried our best to
00:24:16.34\00:24:21.61
bring this about as an
experience for the youth
00:24:21.64\00:24:24.92
to change their
lives. We've defined faith
00:24:24.95\00:24:28.14
as the depending
upon the word of God to do
00:24:28.17\00:24:31.03
what it says and
the expecting of the
00:24:31.06\00:24:34.15
word of God to do what it says.
00:24:34.18\00:24:36.16
And we have tried
an endeavor to show
00:24:36.19\00:24:38.59
the youth the
foolishness of trusting
00:24:38.62\00:24:40.85
in their own
hearts, in their own mind
00:24:40.88\00:24:43.26
and to fully rely upon our God.
00:24:43.29\00:24:45.76
We are going to at this time,
00:24:45.79\00:24:47.92
have our youth testify what
00:24:47.95\00:24:50.21
the program has done for them.
00:24:50.24\00:24:51.62
Let me tell you
powerful things are happening
00:24:51.65\00:24:54.87
at ASI Youth
Division. When I first heard
00:24:54.90\00:24:58.58
the logo I was kind
of like its not boring
00:24:58.61\00:25:01.34
right faith right now
what's this all about,
00:25:01.37\00:25:02.97
but as the means
progress it became more and more
00:25:03.00\00:25:07.24
in-depth and decisions have been
00:25:07.27\00:25:10.03
made for Christ.
When I really felt touched
00:25:10.06\00:25:13.43
it was last
night, Thursday evening,
00:25:13.46\00:25:15.58
we had two powerful
presenters Mark Howard
00:25:15.61\00:25:18.29
and Joshua Plohocky.
So, they both gave this
00:25:18.32\00:25:25.44
really powerful messages
and even more compelling
00:25:25.47\00:25:28.68
altar calls. I am
not usually a big fan of
00:25:28.71\00:25:31.69
altar calls
especially when they involve you
00:25:31.72\00:25:33.84
to sacrifice
something, but I came forward
00:25:33.87\00:25:37.08
just like so many
others who had something
00:25:37.11\00:25:40.10
to sacrifice. So
many others who had
00:25:40.13\00:25:42.31
open hearts and who
are willing to listen to
00:25:42.34\00:25:44.92
God's voice for me
is a re-dying of self
00:25:44.95\00:25:49.81
I should say. Just
completely in every bit
00:25:49.84\00:25:52.41
of this and I just
encourage you all to
00:25:52.44\00:25:56.24
please pray for this meanings
00:25:56.27\00:25:57.57
powerful thinks
are happening. Amen.
00:25:57.60\00:25:59.29
God's word has been
proclaimed to us in a way
00:25:59.32\00:26:01.64
that many youth have
never heard it before
00:26:01.67\00:26:03.33
and please pray
for these decisions
00:26:03.36\00:26:05.56
and continued to
pray if you have already,
00:26:05.59\00:26:07.46
the things might
happen for God's word.
00:26:07.49\00:26:10.17
Alright, I can testify
that the youth meetings
00:26:11.59\00:26:14.21
as well is a
life changing for me
00:26:14.24\00:26:16.39
and its kind of
interesting because
00:26:16.42\00:26:18.20
when I am right here
in ASI I was like you know
00:26:18.23\00:26:21.16
what I don't want to
go to youth meetings.
00:26:21.19\00:26:22.51
I want to go to adult meetings
00:26:22.54\00:26:23.80
and so I already made
my mind I'm gonna go to the
00:26:23.83\00:26:26.11
adult meetings and
hear all the seminars
00:26:26.14\00:26:27.73
that I wanna to hear and
the speakers I wanna hear
00:26:27.76\00:26:29.37
and so Wednesday
night found me in here.
00:26:29.40\00:26:31.61
And I heard this
little voice saying Brittney
00:26:31.64\00:26:34.46
you need to go in
the youth meetings,
00:26:34.49\00:26:36.93
let Lord know I want to go here
00:26:36.96\00:26:38.01
and so I
remembered like okay Brittney
00:26:38.04\00:26:41.60
you been praying
everyday, take my plans
00:26:41.63\00:26:44.60
and just do what
you want me to do
00:26:44.63\00:26:46.37
and I remember that
and so I found myself
00:26:46.40\00:26:49.09
in a youth meeting and
it was like why I am here?
00:26:49.12\00:26:51.10
And anyway that
night Josh gave a message
00:26:51.13\00:26:55.43
and he had an appeal.
And at that appeal honestly
00:26:55.46\00:26:59.31
he was asking like
how many of you have never
00:26:59.34\00:27:01.74
had an experience
before we're you know
00:27:01.77\00:27:04.37
you fallen at
the foot of the cross
00:27:04.40\00:27:07.54
and seen Jesus as
your Savior because
00:27:07.57\00:27:10.39
you've seen yourself
for what you are really are.
00:27:10.42\00:27:12.12
How many Guys have
had that experience
00:27:12.15\00:27:13.65
at the foot of
cross and I realized that
00:27:13.68\00:27:15.27
I hadn't had that experience.
00:27:15.30\00:27:17.88
But as a result of that appeal
00:27:17.91\00:27:20.26
I now had that
experience and it's been
00:27:20.29\00:27:22.27
life changing
and the whole time,
00:27:22.30\00:27:25.09
I mean right
from my faith I know
00:27:25.12\00:27:26.50
why I was there.
And I will tell you
00:27:26.53\00:27:28.91
the devil is
gonna frightening it,
00:27:28.94\00:27:29.99
but if he is frightening someone
00:27:30.02\00:27:30.99
knows good
right. So, I just wanna
00:27:31.00\00:27:32.72
praise the Lord for that. Amen.
00:27:32.75\00:27:34.26
Part of what we
have been teaching them
00:27:35.46\00:27:37.41
is to just live by
faith and we wanted to give
00:27:37.44\00:27:41.78
them an opportunity to
put that into practice.
00:27:41.81\00:27:43.86
So, today we had
Les McCoy from the
00:27:43.89\00:27:47.72
Florida Conference
come in with some of his
00:27:47.75\00:27:49.87
cooperate leaders
and they did a training
00:27:49.90\00:27:52.67
with our young
people on how to sell
00:27:52.70\00:27:55.62
Christian literature
and we're wanting to do
00:27:55.65\00:27:58.06
was to go out and
to raise money to send
00:27:58.09\00:28:01.09
Bibles to Africa.
So, this morning we did
00:28:01.12\00:28:04.30
some training and
then this afternoon
00:28:04.33\00:28:06.21
we went out there
braved at hot Florida sun,
00:28:06.24\00:28:08.77
we were sweating, we
were getting bottles of water
00:28:08.80\00:28:12.58
and other things being
given to us at the doors
00:28:12.61\00:28:15.24
but God was blessing
and I have a peer with me
00:28:15.27\00:28:18.14
some of the young
people that went out
00:28:18.17\00:28:19.93
this afternoon and
I'm gonna have Joel
00:28:19.96\00:28:22.72
and Verlyn share an
experience that they had
00:28:22.75\00:28:24.85
and then Jesse
is gonna share one.
00:28:24.88\00:28:26.58
Well, this
morning when I woke up
00:28:27.68\00:28:29.63
I was pretty shocked
about going on outreach.
00:28:29.66\00:28:32.50
I always love getting
out and meeting new people,
00:28:32.53\00:28:35.39
but when I walked
outside I was like
00:28:35.42\00:28:38.81
oh man this is really
hot. I really don't want
00:28:38.84\00:28:41.56
to do it and I came
into the youth meeting
00:28:41.59\00:28:44.28
and I sat down
and I saw Verlyn there
00:28:44.31\00:28:46.70
and I said you know
Verlyn I really don't
00:28:46.73\00:28:48.51
think I'm gonna
go on outreach today
00:28:48.54\00:28:50.02
and she said, oh
come on you can do it
00:28:50.05\00:28:53.28
and I'm like no I
really don't think I want to.
00:28:53.31\00:28:55.58
And then I was like you know
00:28:55.61\00:28:57.34
what I could stay
back I can go swimming,
00:28:57.37\00:29:00.03
I can play volleyball
and do all those fun things
00:29:00.06\00:29:05.14
but getting out there
in touching lives could be
00:29:05.17\00:29:08.03
so much more
productive and I've come to ASI
00:29:08.06\00:29:10.94
and I pay all this
money why not make the most
00:29:10.97\00:29:14.12
of it right and
minister to those who I can.
00:29:14.15\00:29:16.80
So, Verlyn and I
went out and did outreach
00:29:16.83\00:29:20.82
and we had one very
powerful experience.
00:29:20.85\00:29:23.23
As we walked up to this
one door I knocked on it
00:29:23.26\00:29:26.91
or I actually ring the door bell
00:29:26.94\00:29:28.72
and nobody came at
first and so I knocked again
00:29:28.75\00:29:31.94
and a guy came at
the door and I started
00:29:31.97\00:29:35.64
with my canvas and he just said,
00:29:35.67\00:29:38.71
well I don't know
ten words through,
00:29:38.74\00:29:41.52
I am not interested. He
said I am busy right now
00:29:41.55\00:29:44.03
and I said alright
that's fine and he said
00:29:44.06\00:29:46.21
I am working on a
project and he kind a
00:29:46.24\00:29:48.30
open the door more and
Verlyn and I see inside
00:29:48.33\00:29:50.75
and he said so I
got to go and I said
00:29:50.78\00:29:54.43
well can I just leave
you this happiness digest
00:29:54.46\00:29:56.72
and I said just for
a small donation bigger
00:29:56.75\00:30:00.72
or small it doesn't
matter just whatever
00:30:00.75\00:30:02.33
you can give would
be really appreciated
00:30:02.36\00:30:04.67
and he said you know I'll see
00:30:04.70\00:30:06.43
what I can do and
so he left and yeah.
00:30:06.46\00:30:10.18
So, I was standing
there and as soon as he left
00:30:10.21\00:30:15.35
I felt so impressed and
I am like I turn to Joel
00:30:15.38\00:30:18.05
and like Joel if
he comes back with
00:30:18.08\00:30:20.90
more than 7
dollars we need to give him
00:30:20.93\00:30:22.06
one of the mega
books and so we just
00:30:22.09\00:30:27.35
kind of waited
there and he came back
00:30:27.38\00:30:29.62
little bit later and
he had like five dollars
00:30:29.65\00:30:33.06
crumpled up and he
handed it to the Joel.
00:30:33.09\00:30:36.20
He is like here's
10 dollars for you
00:30:36.23\00:30:38.11
and I am like
how much did you say?
00:30:38.14\00:30:41.12
And he is like here
is 10 dollars for you
00:30:41.15\00:30:43.52
and so Joel
opened it up and you know
00:30:43.55\00:30:44.99
there was more
money inside of that
00:30:45.02\00:30:47.91
and it was 10 dollars
which is the exact amount
00:30:47.94\00:30:51.00
of one mega book and so
we had already given him
00:30:51.03\00:30:55.08
the happiness digest
and so we took the mega book
00:30:55.11\00:31:00.08
and they were three of
them and so we gave him
00:31:00.11\00:31:02.29
a choice between two of
them and we said you know
00:31:02.32\00:31:05.21
which one would you
like and he started flipping
00:31:05.24\00:31:07.45
to them and he
looked at the one on health
00:31:07.48\00:31:10.06
and daily living
and he said you know
00:31:10.09\00:31:11.69
I'll take this one
and he is like you know
00:31:11.72\00:31:13.42
my wife has been
really, really sick lately
00:31:13.45\00:31:15.65
and you know I
think it might have to do
00:31:15.68\00:31:19.08
something with how
to deal with you know
00:31:19.11\00:31:23.17
lifestyle. I know
that this should be really
00:31:23.20\00:31:28.61
interested in this
book and that she can use it
00:31:28.64\00:31:30.98
and I am like well
yeah Praise the Lord
00:31:31.01\00:31:32.77
and he is like you know.
She can use the lifestyle
00:31:32.80\00:31:37.36
one and I can use
the happiness digest
00:31:37.39\00:31:39.13
and I just thought
it was so amazing that
00:31:39.16\00:31:40.96
we are able to
live two books there
00:31:40.99\00:31:42.60
each one of them
would be able to touch
00:31:42.63\00:31:46.40
these people in
a way that may be
00:31:46.43\00:31:49.20
we could not
touch them otherwise
00:31:49.23\00:31:50.95
and so I just praise
the Lord so much for that
00:31:50.98\00:31:54.29
opportunity that we
got to leave those books
00:31:54.32\00:31:56.94
with that man and his wife.
00:31:56.97\00:31:59.22
And if you guys
would just pray for them
00:31:59.25\00:32:00.78
and you know just
pray that those books
00:32:00.81\00:32:04.06
will touch them I
know that we raised
00:32:04.09\00:32:06.44
a lot of money today
and that's gonna go to help
00:32:06.47\00:32:08.56
the people in
Africa but you know
00:32:08.59\00:32:10.24
we also want to
minister to our community
00:32:10.27\00:32:12.81
and when we leave
those books out there
00:32:12.84\00:32:15.72
they may not touch
them for a longtime
00:32:15.75\00:32:18.38
but when they do pick
them up it will change
00:32:18.41\00:32:20.31
their life and so I
just ask you guys to pray
00:32:20.34\00:32:22.80
for them and
hopefully that the Holy Spirit
00:32:22.83\00:32:26.58
will water the
plants that we sown,
00:32:26.61\00:32:30.42
the seeds that we
sown and help them
00:32:30.45\00:32:32.78
to become
Christians because of it. Amen.
00:32:32.81\00:32:36.37
Oh, real quickly I just
wanna share a testimony.
00:32:36.92\00:32:39.87
We were about done
and we knock on this door
00:32:39.90\00:32:43.67
and a lady came and
she is a really nice
00:32:43.70\00:32:46.75
Brazilian lady, she
is really interested
00:32:46.78\00:32:48.93
into the books that
we had and she ended up
00:32:48.96\00:32:50.62
buying them and before
we left we offered a prayer
00:32:50.65\00:32:54.40
with her and she is like sure,
00:32:54.43\00:32:55.79
I would love that so she
invited us into her house
00:32:55.82\00:32:58.60
and we had a really
wonderful prayer for her
00:32:58.63\00:33:01.74
and she really
seemed blessed by it
00:33:01.77\00:33:03.25
and before we left we
decided to offer her a
00:33:03.28\00:33:05.95
Bible study invitation
to receive Bible study
00:33:05.98\00:33:09.51
guides in the mail
and Ryan he said Anne
00:33:09.54\00:33:12.62
if you fill it out
now we can go ahead
00:33:12.65\00:33:14.73
and take it for and you
can say it on the stance.
00:33:14.76\00:33:17.56
And so she is like
alright I'll do that,
00:33:17.59\00:33:19.57
so she filled it out
and we have her Bible study
00:33:19.60\00:33:22.90
and we have a lady
that is going to personally
00:33:22.93\00:33:25.49
follow up on that
and at the end of the day
00:33:25.52\00:33:27.89
our first level study
I believe for the whole
00:33:27.92\00:33:30.61
entire outreach, which
is a big blessing. Amen.
00:33:30.64\00:33:33.67
We only had about
20 or so young people
00:33:33.89\00:33:37.33
that were able to go out because
00:33:37.36\00:33:38.52
others had other commitments but
00:33:38.55\00:33:40.49
God blessed just that
and we raised 120 dollars,
00:33:40.52\00:33:45.84
when we came back and
we were in a publications
00:33:45.87\00:33:48.19
to match it, so
240 dollars is going to
00:33:48.22\00:33:50.97
Africa in the form of Bibles.
00:33:51.00\00:33:53.04
So, you just want
to thank you so much
00:33:53.07\00:33:54.82
for your young people
for the privilege of being
00:33:54.85\00:33:56.72
able to work with
them this week. Amen.
00:33:56.75\00:33:58.91
Well Good evening
ASI family, good evening.
00:34:06.02\00:34:09.49
Happy Sabbath, happy Sabbath.
00:34:09.52\00:34:11.52

of these young people
00:34:11.55\00:34:12.63
in the blue? Amen.
Amen. My friends it has been
00:34:12.66\00:34:17.27
a privilege for Lay
Institute for evangelism
00:34:17.30\00:34:20.65
to be able to
host the ASI Youth for
00:34:20.68\00:34:24.02
Jesus program in
2010. We were located
00:34:24.05\00:34:27.13
on the campus of the Lady Lake
00:34:27.16\00:34:29.38
Seventh-Day
Adventist Church in Guess what?
00:34:29.41\00:34:31.96
Lady Lake,
Florida. And we're there
00:34:31.99\00:34:35.53
because of your generous
donations to the offering
00:34:35.56\00:34:38.77
on Sabbath morning
so tomorrow morning
00:34:38.80\00:34:40.51

Youth for Jesus program
00:34:40.54\00:34:44.29
because this is what happens
00:34:44.32\00:34:46.15
and you are
gonna hear all about it
00:34:46.18\00:34:47.65
when your young
people come to ASI Youth
00:34:47.68\00:34:51.32
for Jesus. So, we at
life just want to thank you
00:34:51.35\00:34:54.98

young people with us.
00:34:55.01\00:34:57.26
Have you had a
good time? Yes, Amen.
00:34:57.29\00:34:59.53

00:35:01.96\00:35:05.11
at ASI Youth for
Jesus. Amen. Hallelujah!
00:35:05.14\00:35:09.95
Isn't that
amazing that's our goal
00:35:09.98\00:35:12.05
isn't it taking our
young people into the field
00:35:12.08\00:35:14.89
to get them energized
and excited about evangelism
00:35:14.92\00:35:19.44
and winning souls
to the kingdom of God.
00:35:19.47\00:35:21.65
Right now what we
are going to do is
00:35:21.68\00:35:23.14

00:35:24.88\00:35:27.72
meeting sites and
some of the activities that
00:35:27.75\00:35:30.17
we did while we were
here at Youth for Jesus.

There is the whole
crew at Leesburg who brought
00:35:36.17\00:35:38.75
music to energize that church.
00:35:38.78\00:35:41.20
Here we are in our classroom
00:35:41.23\00:35:42.91
at Lay Institute
for Evangelism and here
00:35:42.94\00:35:46.47
we are preparing
for a water fight.
00:35:46.50\00:35:48.42
We had to have a
little bit of downtime here
00:35:48.45\00:35:51.05
again we are in our classroom
00:35:51.08\00:35:52.33
Pastor Philip Sizemore
is teaching and there I am
00:35:52.36\00:35:55.62
doing morning
worship. We had incredible
00:35:55.65\00:35:57.78
morning worships. Every
morning my daughter is up
00:35:57.81\00:36:00.56
there singing just
like she will be here
00:36:00.59\00:36:02.50
with everybody else.
We had an incredible time
00:36:02.53\00:36:05.97
at ASI Youth for
Jesus and we could not have
00:36:06.00\00:36:08.39
done that without you.
You have been a blessing
00:36:08.42\00:36:12.49
to us and there
Mike Merge gonna up here
00:36:12.52\00:36:15.18

and he is going
to share with you
00:36:16.64\00:36:17.92
what the blessing
was to the community that
00:36:17.95\00:36:21.16
we were in. there we
are on the river you see,
00:36:21.19\00:36:23.83
we had a couple of
days where we just had
00:36:23.86\00:36:25.83
a lot of fun. What we
are going to do now is
00:36:25.86\00:36:30.35
we are going to sing
for you a song that was
00:36:30.38\00:36:32.91
written composed the
music and everything by
00:36:32.94\00:36:36.24
Mr. Mark Bond he is
father of two of our
00:36:36.27\00:36:39.64
ASI Youth for Jesus
students and the song
00:36:39.67\00:36:43.36
was its called "A
Temple Made of Time"
00:36:43.39\00:36:47.19
and it is about the Sabbath.
00:36:47.22\00:36:48.31
So, happy Sabbath
to you and he wrote
00:36:48.34\00:36:51.89
this from a sermon;
he was inspired to write
00:36:51.92\00:36:54.87
this by a sermon
that Elder Mark Finley
00:36:54.90\00:36:57.26
preached about how God
brings the Sabbath to us.
00:36:57.29\00:36:59.71
God didn't just
make a place Holy,
00:36:59.74\00:37:02.16
he made time Holy.
Amen. So, that time
00:37:02.19\00:37:05.27
can come to us every
week. So, please enjoy
00:37:05.30\00:37:08.25
as the ASI Youth for
Jesus participants sing for us.
00:37:08.28\00:37:14.05
God took six
days and created earth
00:37:34.61\00:37:40.42
and moon the star and the sun
00:37:40.45\00:37:44.56
On the seventh day
He rested from the work
00:37:44.59\00:37:50.64
that he had done.
Then He blessed it made it
00:37:50.67\00:37:58.83
holy as a gift for every man
00:37:58.86\00:38:03.86
To remind us where we came from
00:38:03.89\00:38:08.46
and just how his world began
00:38:08.49\00:38:13.44
Holy day purified
set apart sanctified
00:38:13.47\00:38:22.77
Enter in to joy divine
in a temple made of time
00:38:22.80\00:38:32.77
See Him worship on the Sabbath
00:38:34.96\00:38:39.43
as His weekly
costume was, feel the furry
00:38:39.46\00:38:46.40
of the rabbis
for He would not heed
00:38:46.43\00:38:51.54
their laws. So they
killed Him on a hillside
00:38:51.57\00:38:58.42
as the sun began to
fade but He even kept
00:38:58.45\00:39:06.30
the Sabbath as they
laid Him in the grave
00:39:06.33\00:39:13.56
Holy day purified
set apart sanctified
00:39:13.59\00:39:22.11
Enter in to joy divine
in a temple made of time
00:39:22.14\00:39:31.60
Oft forsaken and
forgotten desecrated
00:39:42.57\00:39:49.22
and profaned But the
sacred fourth commandment
00:39:49.25\00:39:56.65
is still valid and unchanged
00:39:56.68\00:40:01.30
Hear the Father gently calling
00:40:01.33\00:40:05.76
if you love Me heed
each one not for merit
00:40:05.79\00:40:12.90
or salvation but
because you love My Son.
00:40:12.93\00:40:19.56
Holy day purified
set apart sanctified
00:40:19.59\00:40:28.50
Enter in to joy divine
in a temple made of time
00:40:28.53\00:40:37.76
Holy day purified
set apart sanctified
00:40:37.79\00:40:46.64
Enter in to joy divine
in a temple made of time
00:40:46.67\00:40:56.62
You will find joy divine in this
00:40:56.65\00:41:02.30
temple made of time. Amen.
00:41:02.33\00:41:12.04
It's my privilege
this evening to introduce
00:41:16.50\00:41:18.52
you to Mike Merd. Mike
is our Youth for Jesus Bible
00:41:18.55\00:41:22.91
worker and coordinator
and he is going to tell
00:41:22.94\00:41:24.73
you all about what happened
00:41:24.76\00:41:25.93
at Youth for Jesus this summer.
00:41:25.96\00:41:28.10
Well, good
evening and happy Sabbath.
00:41:28.57\00:41:30.84
I just like to
say that it's been an
00:41:30.87\00:41:33.70
absolute pleasure to
work with this group.
00:41:33.73\00:41:36.18
I believe that we have
fulfilled our commission
00:41:36.21\00:41:38.82
in the Orlando
area to preach the
00:41:38.85\00:41:41.11
word of the God to everyone that
00:41:41.14\00:41:43.07
we encountered
during this period of time
00:41:43.10\00:41:45.12
so I just want to
share with you some of the
00:41:45.15\00:41:46.78
statistics that we
were able to accomplish
00:41:46.81\00:41:49.47
by the grace of God
and the power of the
00:41:49.50\00:41:51.32
Holy Spirit in
these areas thanks to
00:41:51.35\00:41:53.82
your willing
contribution. We began
00:41:53.85\00:41:56.20
our work in January
in the Leesburg area
00:41:56.23\00:41:58.56
with our site
coordinator arriving J. C. Deon,
00:41:58.59\00:42:01.06
we then followed that
in February through May
00:42:01.09\00:42:03.42
with the arrival of
three more of our site
00:42:03.45\00:42:05.19
coordinators for
the Ocala Church,
00:42:05.22\00:42:07.46
the Plymouth Sorrento Church,
00:42:07.49\00:42:08.75
and the Umatilla
Church. We had Donna McDonald
00:42:08.78\00:42:12.30
as one of our site coordinators;
00:42:12.33\00:42:13.67
James Wilson and
Morris Grahm. In May 13th,
00:42:13.70\00:42:18.08
we had the next
crew that arrived
00:42:18.11\00:42:19.61
and began working
with the Bethel Church.
00:42:19.64\00:42:21.18
As soon as we
arrived on site we began
00:42:21.21\00:42:24.24
our training of
the church members
00:42:24.27\00:42:25.97
one of the things that
we did was we instructed
00:42:26.00\00:42:28.41
them on the life
on the edge series,
00:42:28.44\00:42:29.86
which is the
series developed by life
00:42:29.89\00:42:31.50
to train lay
members on how to give
00:42:31.53\00:42:33.52
effective Bible
studies. We also trained
00:42:33.55\00:42:36.22
the churches on
the cycle of evangelism
00:42:36.25\00:42:38.27
which is just
what it says it's a
00:42:38.30\00:42:40.10
six month cycle of
evangelism for the church
00:42:40.13\00:42:42.14
to keep the church
on a rotating basis of
00:42:42.17\00:42:45.24
evangelism to keep it active.
00:42:45.27\00:42:47.03
So, the church members came out
00:42:47.06\00:42:48.80
it was a very
good, we had a lot of
00:42:48.83\00:42:51.47
participation as far
as the church members go
00:42:51.50\00:42:54.05
and we have
several church members now
00:42:54.08\00:42:56.59
that are on their own
going out door to door,
00:42:56.62\00:42:58.50
giving Bible
studies, working in their
00:42:58.53\00:43:00.86
communities as a
result of the training that
00:43:00.89\00:43:02.69
they receive. So,
praise the Lord for that.
00:43:02.72\00:43:04.96
The training went very well.
00:43:04.99\00:43:07.78
We followed that up
with our bridge events,
00:43:07.81\00:43:09.82
we did a stop
smoking program at each one
00:43:09.85\00:43:11.87
of the locations
now we follow that up
00:43:11.90\00:43:13.95
with a healthy
cooking school just to bring
00:43:13.98\00:43:17.08
interest in from the
community to come to the
00:43:17.11\00:43:19.07
local church, to
learn these things
00:43:19.10\00:43:20.93
and then we had a
health expo at each one of the
00:43:20.96\00:43:23.73
locations as well
following the eight laws
00:43:23.76\00:43:28.15
of health doing
the new start program.
00:43:28.18\00:43:29.99
At our peak, this
being the combination
00:43:30.02\00:43:33.86
of our events we did
179 in home Bible studies
00:43:33.89\00:43:38.24
that's 179 homes not people,
00:43:38.27\00:43:41.29
179 in home Bible studies.
00:43:41.32\00:43:43.48
We had 61 drop off studies,
00:43:43.51\00:43:46.09
where those
studies were dropped off
00:43:46.12\00:43:47.91
and we went back followed
up with those individuals
00:43:47.94\00:43:50.22
and we had a 163
individuals to signed up
00:43:50.25\00:43:53.79
for corresponded
studies that were submitted
00:43:53.82\00:43:56.08
to either amazing
facts or discovery.
00:43:56.11\00:43:57.81
So, the Lord is truly blessed.
00:43:57.84\00:43:59.94
Our evangelistic
campaigns began on
00:43:59.97\00:44:02.39
July 9th at all
five sites including the
00:44:02.42\00:44:04.71
evangelistic campaign
preached by the Naps Crew
00:44:04.74\00:44:06.94
and as a result of that we have
00:44:06.97\00:44:09.14
65 decisions for baptism. Amen.
00:44:09.17\00:44:12.24
You know, I
just. Praise the Lord,
00:44:12.27\00:44:15.84
Praise the Lord. So,
you know, we've had eight
00:44:15.87\00:44:20.49
of our youth for Jesus
students made decisions
00:44:20.52\00:44:23.10
for Baptism as
well. And you know
00:44:23.13\00:44:25.66
we had three individuals
they joined the church
00:44:25.69\00:44:28.43
by profession of
faith. So, you know
00:44:28.46\00:44:31.00
I hope that this will
inspire someone watching,
00:44:31.03\00:44:33.02
somebody sitting in
this crowd to really get
00:44:33.05\00:44:35.29
involved in
evangelism. You know,
00:44:35.32\00:44:37.29
the Lord needs you he
wants to work through us
00:44:37.32\00:44:39.49
and he wants to work with us.
00:44:39.52\00:44:40.72
So, you know, giving your time
00:44:40.75\00:44:42.55
He will bless you. Amen. Amen.
00:44:42.58\00:44:45.20
For the past five
years, the National Association
00:44:45.23\00:44:48.99
for the Prevention of Starvation
00:44:49.02\00:44:51.00
has been holding
evangelistic meetings
00:44:51.03\00:44:53.29
alone with
ASI's Youth for Jesus.
00:44:53.32\00:44:55.52
So, we like to
invite the Naps Crew up here
00:44:55.55\00:44:58.84
to share with
you their experience
00:44:58.87\00:45:00.44
at ASI youth for Jesus. Amen.
00:45:00.47\00:45:03.70
Thank you Scott.
Asvika, she will introduce
00:45:03.73\00:45:06.39
who Naps is and
exactly what are we doing here.
00:45:06.42\00:45:09.26
Good evening
everyone NAPS stands for the
00:45:09.29\00:45:13.10
National Association for the
00:45:13.13\00:45:15.53
Prevention of Starvation
as previously mentioned.
00:45:15.56\00:45:18.16
We are student missionaries from
00:45:18.19\00:45:20.04
Oakwood University that travel
00:45:20.07\00:45:22.02
not only the
country, but the world.
00:45:22.05\00:45:24.32
And the three of
us standing up here,
00:45:24.35\00:45:25.84
we are a part of a
group that took a year off
00:45:25.87\00:45:28.60
of school and
dedicated it solely
00:45:28.63\00:45:30.60
to do in the work of
God. And we were able to
00:45:30.63\00:45:33.10
travel to the United
States. We even got to go
00:45:33.13\00:45:35.60
to Haiti for six
weeks after the earthquake
00:45:35.63\00:45:38.43
and ended our mission
here in Orlando, amen.
00:45:38.46\00:45:41.38
Yes at the end of our mission,
00:45:41.41\00:45:43.92
we usually work
with ASI and Chris here
00:45:43.95\00:45:45.90
will tell us what we
did with ASI in Orlando?
00:45:45.93\00:45:48.31
Yes, yes we did
many different I guess
00:45:48.34\00:45:51.89
ministries while we were here.
00:45:51.92\00:45:53.20
First half, we
had a summer day camp
00:45:53.23\00:45:55.47
it was four weeks in
duration and everyday
00:45:55.50\00:45:57.47
we had about 60
kids and it was about
00:45:57.50\00:46:00.10
five hours long.
It was like an extreme
00:46:00.13\00:46:01.58
VBS program. And
we are also training
00:46:01.61\00:46:03.56
the church to do
small groups, amen.
00:46:03.59\00:46:05.30
Yes and during the
day we had day camp
00:46:06.49\00:46:08.61
and we had training
with the small group
00:46:08.64\00:46:10.76
and in the evening
we have our meetings
00:46:10.79\00:46:12.84
and Bible studies
and Chris will give us
00:46:12.87\00:46:14.33
stanza on one of
the Bible studies.
00:46:14.36\00:46:15.86
Yes, yes we had
many Bible studies
00:46:15.89\00:46:20.55
and we also had
evangelistic meetings
00:46:20.58\00:46:22.23
and at the evangelistic meetings
00:46:22.26\00:46:23.92
we had about 40
participants come out
00:46:23.95\00:46:26.30
every night and half
of those people 20 people
00:46:26.33\00:46:29.46
were visitors,
non-church members coming out.
00:46:29.49\00:46:31.87
And of the 20, 18
decided to be baptize
00:46:31.90\00:46:34.96
and 10 were baptized
praise the Lord, Amen.
00:46:34.99\00:46:38.24
Yes we praise the
Lord for that and Asvika
00:46:40.07\00:46:42.37
she had a
testimony about a young man
00:46:42.40\00:46:44.13
that she met and you see how
00:46:44.16\00:46:45.43
God does not work on our time.
00:46:45.46\00:46:47.31
Yes in doing Bible
studies God allowed Chris
00:46:47.34\00:46:50.89
and I to meet a
young man name Calega
00:46:50.92\00:46:53.31
and he is about our
age, he is I think 21.
00:46:53.34\00:46:56.47
And the day we met
Calega it seem like
00:46:56.50\00:46:58.84
everything was
going wrong but now
00:46:58.87\00:47:00.59
I understand
because within a week of
00:47:00.62\00:47:03.71
Bible studies
that seven days Calega
00:47:03.74\00:47:06.56
accepted every
truth we gave him.
00:47:06.59\00:47:08.83
The signs of the
time, the second coming,
00:47:08.86\00:47:10.78
state of the dead,
he accepted the Sabbath
00:47:10.81\00:47:14.00
and even baptism within one week
00:47:14.03\00:47:16.49
and it proves that
there are ripe fruit out there
00:47:16.52\00:47:18.79
that we just
need to go and pick.
00:47:18.82\00:47:20.66
And it was such a
wonderful blessing
00:47:20.69\00:47:22.59
to meet that young
man. Amen, Amen and Calega
00:47:22.62\00:47:26.09
he could have make it
to the baptism ceremony,
00:47:26.12\00:47:28.63
but he sent his
tied offing ahead because
00:47:28.66\00:47:32.29
he knew that he was
a member of the church,
00:47:32.32\00:47:33.64
so you praise the
Lord for that as well.
00:47:33.67\00:47:35.85
And with the
kids, the kids let us
00:47:35.88\00:47:39.10
into the homes of the parents
00:47:39.13\00:47:40.84
and Chris will
tell us more about that.
00:47:40.87\00:47:42.59
Yes it was truly an awesome work
00:47:42.62\00:47:44.80
with the
children. At our day camp,
00:47:44.83\00:47:46.44
we had three special
children the names were
00:47:46.47\00:47:48.38
J.J, Fabian and
Nelson. And at the day camp
00:47:48.41\00:47:51.59
and still in their
minds the importance of prayer
00:47:51.62\00:47:54.17
how much God truly loves them
00:47:54.20\00:47:55.34
and we taught
them scripture songs
00:47:55.37\00:47:56.80
as well as host of other things.
00:47:56.83\00:47:58.35
And every
evening the mom will come
00:47:58.38\00:48:00.40
and pick him up and
she would always tell me
00:48:00.43\00:48:02.29
how they are
singing these songs,
00:48:02.32\00:48:04.19
how they learn that
when you die you stay
00:48:04.22\00:48:06.53
in the ground and
wait for Jesus to comeback
00:48:06.56\00:48:08.05
and they even told
us like behavior changes
00:48:08.08\00:48:10.96
how they open the door for them,
00:48:10.99\00:48:12.36
how they tried to
helping with the dishes
00:48:12.39\00:48:14.31
and just how
they are just becoming
00:48:14.34\00:48:15.71
better and
better. And they just said
00:48:15.74\00:48:16.98
praise the God for
the camp you guys came
00:48:17.01\00:48:18.50
at the right time. And
at the end of the camp here
00:48:18.53\00:48:21.70
this we were able
to do Bible studies
00:48:21.73\00:48:23.56
with the parents and
they were able to accept
00:48:23.59\00:48:26.92
everything they
loved it. They know Jesus
00:48:26.95\00:48:29.21
coming back now they
accepted the Sabbath,
00:48:29.24\00:48:31.01
they accepted the
state of the dead,
00:48:31.04\00:48:32.49
and they said you
came right on time because
00:48:32.52\00:48:34.17
we were looking for a church.
00:48:34.20\00:48:35.44
And now we wanna
join your church because
00:48:35.47\00:48:37.12
we know is the true
one. And now they are,
00:48:37.15\00:48:39.74
they found the
truth and they are excited
00:48:39.77\00:48:41.40
and all because of the children
00:48:41.43\00:48:42.58
taking into the home, amen.
00:48:42.61\00:48:45.37
And so we praise the
Lord for ASI who allowed us
00:48:45.40\00:48:48.70
to be here and
we thank you so much
00:48:48.73\00:48:50.08
and at the end of
our meetings the elder
00:48:50.11\00:48:52.45
came up to us and
said you know what,
00:48:52.48\00:48:54.00
you guys have
done tremendous job.
00:48:54.03\00:48:56.06
He said now our
church was sleeping,
00:48:56.09\00:48:58.56
he said now we
believe as a church that
00:48:58.59\00:49:02.08
we can do this work,
amen. And as a same thing
00:49:02.11\00:49:04.69
that we are going
to each and everyone
00:49:04.72\00:49:06.41
needs to go out and
wake up your church.
00:49:06.44\00:49:08.41
And so we thank
you ASI, thank you
00:49:08.44\00:49:10.65
live for having
us, praise the Lord,
00:49:10.68\00:49:11.89
and we really
appreciate you, amen.
00:49:11.92\00:49:14.17
Thanks, God is
truly, truly working.
00:49:18.94\00:49:21.48
It's such a privilege to
be here with you tonight.
00:49:21.51\00:49:23.99
My name is Lucille
Mascara and this is
00:49:24.02\00:49:27.77
my first year
attending Youth for Jesus
00:49:27.80\00:49:30.21
and it truly has been a
life changing experience.
00:49:30.24\00:49:32.78
God is so good, I
came thinking that
00:49:32.81\00:49:37.95
I was not going to
cross the concept of
00:49:37.98\00:49:42.55
what it was. I
didn't even understand why
00:49:42.58\00:49:44.84
I was really coming,
but God spoke through,
00:49:44.87\00:49:48.24
through certain people
and he let me experience
00:49:48.27\00:49:51.76
so many powerful
things, there are so many
00:49:51.79\00:49:53.37
testimonies I could
give. But, we had just
00:49:53.40\00:49:57.05
learn how to give a
Bible study and that day
00:49:57.08\00:50:00.74
we wrote
everything in our Bibles
00:50:00.77\00:50:02.82
and I was so
impressed how much truth
00:50:02.85\00:50:07.40
there is in
God's word its amazing.
00:50:07.43\00:50:09.42
And I was just
excited because I was like
00:50:09.45\00:50:12.22
this is what I'm
gonna tell people,
00:50:12.25\00:50:13.73
this is what God's
wants them to know,
00:50:13.76\00:50:15.95
so I took my Bible we
close at the next day,
00:50:15.98\00:50:19.17
we are going on
outreach and for some reason
00:50:19.20\00:50:22.25
or another our
members we Jonathon decided to
00:50:22.28\00:50:27.51
switch groups with
Daniel which is our
00:50:27.54\00:50:31.72
Bible study group. And
I was like where do I go,
00:50:31.75\00:50:34.81
you know and so I
ended up being in a group
00:50:34.84\00:50:37.50
that wasn't
suppose to be God is good,
00:50:37.53\00:50:39.24
he knows what he is
doing and I ended up going
00:50:39.27\00:50:42.70
with a group that
was giving a Bible study
00:50:42.73\00:50:44.59
and I didn't know that we were
00:50:44.62\00:50:45.82
giving a Bible study.
So, when we get to the park
00:50:45.85\00:50:48.39
where we are
gonna give the study.
00:50:48.42\00:50:49.56
Mind you this is the
day after we have learned
00:50:49.59\00:50:52.52
how to give our
first study which was based
00:50:52.55\00:50:55.21
on the word of
God. So, I was new
00:50:55.24\00:50:59.21
and I never given
a Bible study before.
00:50:59.24\00:51:01.60
We got to the
park, I look to the chair
00:51:01.63\00:51:04.23
to get my sword its not there,
00:51:04.26\00:51:07.39
oh my Jesus what I'm gonna do?
00:51:07.42\00:51:10.05
So, I got on to the
garden and I'm like Tracy
00:51:10.08\00:51:13.18
do you have your
Bible, do you have the study
00:51:13.21\00:51:15.34
and our Bible worker
told us that this lady
00:51:15.37\00:51:17.89
or this girl she
had so many questions,
00:51:17.92\00:51:20.76
and I was just
nervous, I was like all my truth
00:51:20.79\00:51:23.78
is based on the word of God,
00:51:23.81\00:51:25.18
how we are gonna
answer these questions.
00:51:25.21\00:51:27.35
And I was like God
just perform a miracle
00:51:27.38\00:51:29.51
so we step in
and God stepped in.
00:51:29.54\00:51:34.16
Her first question she
asked was how can I trust
00:51:34.19\00:51:39.11
that the Bible is
true? And that was a
00:51:39.14\00:51:42.58
transitional
question to enter into the
00:51:42.61\00:51:45.01
study of the word
of God. And I was like
00:51:45.04\00:51:47.87
Tracy get your Bible we
are gonna give the study
00:51:47.90\00:51:50.43
because we were
thinking that she was gonna have
00:51:50.46\00:51:53.16
so many questions that
we were just gonna have
00:51:53.19\00:51:55.13
to be answering random questions
00:51:55.16\00:51:56.77
but it ended up
being right after that
00:51:56.80\00:51:58.99
first question, the
next question she asked was
00:51:59.02\00:52:01.52
how do I know that
people that wrote this Bible
00:52:01.55\00:52:04.47
didn't just write it
just because you know
00:52:04.50\00:52:06.45
how do I know that
it was inspired by God.
00:52:06.48\00:52:08.53
That was next
transitional question
00:52:08.56\00:52:10.33
in that study and
I was like go, go, go
00:52:10.36\00:52:12.71
and from then on
the questions just
00:52:12.74\00:52:14.06
kept rolling. I
was like praise God,
00:52:14.09\00:52:16.06
I don't even know
what I'm saying and then,
00:52:16.09\00:52:17.80
and then one
question, she was like
00:52:17.83\00:52:20.72
what is doctrine? And
I look at my Bible worker
00:52:20.75\00:52:23.24
and I was trying to explain
00:52:23.27\00:52:24.75
and then all the
sudden I stopped,
00:52:24.78\00:52:26.00
I was like I
know what doctrine is,
00:52:26.03\00:52:27.68
why did I stop
and then I look at him
00:52:27.71\00:52:30.02
with the help
face please help me,
00:52:30.05\00:52:32.06
and then he didn't
and I was like Jesus,
00:52:32.09\00:52:34.47
I claimed Jesus name
and Jesus just worked
00:52:34.50\00:52:36.92
in just flowed
and after that Tracy
00:52:36.95\00:52:39.60
she can find a Bible
verse and a soft wind
00:52:39.63\00:52:41.99
came and it blew the
Bible and it ended up
00:52:42.02\00:52:44.67
being at that same
verse it was incredible
00:52:44.70\00:52:46.95
God is so good. And I
just praise him so much
00:52:46.98\00:52:50.48
because he showed me
that if we let ourselves
00:52:50.51\00:52:54.11
be used, even
thought we're unprepared,
00:52:54.14\00:52:56.21
we don't know
what we were doing,
00:52:56.24\00:52:57.76
we think we can
be self sufficient,
00:52:57.79\00:53:01.67
we can all our
trust needs to be in God
00:53:01.70\00:53:06.50
and if you trust
in him he will use you
00:53:06.53\00:53:09.05
in many great ways, amen.
00:53:09.08\00:53:12.71
Our trust indeed
does need to be in God
00:53:16.05\00:53:18.66
and I'm just gonna hope
that he works through me
00:53:18.69\00:53:21.84
as I talk. So, my
name is Daniel Fabergian
00:53:21.87\00:53:25.89
and I'm from California.
And I just came to this
00:53:25.92\00:53:28.28
program a little down
about Adventism as much
00:53:28.31\00:53:32.89
church would be
called what do you say
00:53:32.92\00:53:35.03
I don't know where
to see in something.
00:53:35.06\00:53:37.00
And so I felt like
I really get to see
00:53:38.49\00:53:41.64
this spirit of
God working that much
00:53:41.67\00:53:43.46
and it was kind of discouraging
00:53:43.49\00:53:45.61
and I also
probably been taking a
00:53:45.64\00:53:48.18
Christian philosophy class now
00:53:48.21\00:53:49.56
in
nominational, where I had been
00:53:49.59\00:53:51.43
getting a lot of
you know spirit the way
00:53:51.46\00:53:53.39
they prayed was
just amazing to me
00:53:53.42\00:53:55.05
and so I was thinking
you know why should I be
00:53:55.08\00:53:56.71
non-Adventist you know,
do I really need to keep
00:53:56.74\00:53:58.67
the Sabbath but so
I mean I came to this
00:53:58.70\00:54:01.61
and you know I
understand this through
00:54:01.64\00:54:04.32
the evangelistic
series so that changed
00:54:04.35\00:54:06.11
my mindset on all
these different truths
00:54:06.14\00:54:08.47
and then also got
to see all these kids
00:54:08.50\00:54:12.27
and they are good
example of how you know
00:54:12.30\00:54:17.76
God's spirit is here so yeah
00:54:17.79\00:54:21.02
that was just my thought, amen.
00:54:21.05\00:54:24.30
Good evening, God
is good as he not?
00:54:29.19\00:54:32.16
All the time.
Well I'm Chelsea Bond
00:54:33.33\00:54:36.26
and I'm from Texas.
And this is my second year
00:54:36.29\00:54:39.52
with the Youth
for Jesus Program.
00:54:39.55\00:54:41.47
And last year was
extremely inspiring,
00:54:41.50\00:54:46.51
I was working
with all these youth
00:54:46.54\00:54:48.96
that are extremely on
fire and it completely
00:54:48.99\00:54:52.24
blew me away I
mean I had grown up in a
00:54:52.27\00:54:54.61
really small
church which I loved,
00:54:54.64\00:54:56.67
but you know it
was amazing to see a
00:54:56.70\00:54:59.87
whole army of young
people like has been
00:54:59.90\00:55:03.07
predicted will come up
in and working together
00:55:03.10\00:55:05.61
and I was a part of
it, and I just was brought
00:55:05.64\00:55:09.57
closer to God, I was
given a new perspective
00:55:09.60\00:55:13.39
on who God is,
but at the end of that
00:55:13.42\00:55:16.01
I was so excited
about the spiritual high
00:55:16.04\00:55:18.17
that I didn't quite
focus on getting tools
00:55:18.20\00:55:24.65
to take home with me
that I could use to keep
00:55:24.68\00:55:28.02
this experience and
so I started to sit back
00:55:28.05\00:55:33.20
in the mindset,
well I don't think
00:55:33.23\00:55:34.27
I wanna go back,
I had a great time
00:55:34.30\00:55:36.95
but you know God can
let some other youth go.
00:55:36.98\00:55:40.31
But, then all of a
sudden I just felt like
00:55:40.34\00:55:42.76
I needed to send an application
00:55:42.79\00:55:44.29
and I started to get
really worried because
00:55:44.32\00:55:45.73
my sister had gotten
accepted and I hadn't yet
00:55:45.76\00:55:48.11
and I was really
worried and I prayed about it
00:55:48.14\00:55:50.90
a lot and through
many events God allowed me
00:55:50.93\00:55:54.24
to get accepted, amen.
And so I just took that
00:55:54.27\00:55:58.20
as a sign the
God wanted me there,
00:55:58.23\00:55:59.50
so I got there this
year and I was the leadership
00:55:59.53\00:56:03.04
changed and so I was
you know worried about
00:56:03.07\00:56:06.16
what it would be like
how different it would be,
00:56:06.19\00:56:08.42
if it would touch
me in the same way.
00:56:08.45\00:56:10.37
And I'm glad to
say that it did it,
00:56:10.40\00:56:13.49
it touched me in a
new way and God was
00:56:13.52\00:56:17.17
so good to me he
showed me through
00:56:17.20\00:56:22.05
these Bible studies
that where given through
00:56:22.08\00:56:24.18
the live program
they caught my attention
00:56:24.21\00:56:27.30
and not only was I
learning how to give
00:56:27.33\00:56:29.06
these Bible studies
these things were hitting home
00:56:29.09\00:56:31.32
with me things that
I've heard all my life were
00:56:31.35\00:56:33.34
presented in a new
way that just made sense
00:56:33.37\00:56:37.41
and completely hit home, amen.
00:56:37.44\00:56:39.82
And God just took hold
of me they were many times
00:56:39.85\00:56:42.43
when I was so
excited after the class time,
00:56:42.46\00:56:45.03
where we learned
to get Bible studies
00:56:45.06\00:56:46.15
that I would call my mom crying
00:56:46.18\00:56:47.68
and she was like oh
my goodness are you okay?
00:56:47.71\00:56:51.06
I said oh you
don't know I'm amazing.
00:56:51.09\00:56:54.92
God is good, amen.
And so if any of you are
00:56:54.95\00:56:59.87
considering any
youth are considering
00:56:59.90\00:57:01.81
coming to this program
God is definitely working
00:57:01.84\00:57:04.20
through this program
and he has worked through me
00:57:04.23\00:57:06.88
and in me and now I
have the tools to go home
00:57:06.91\00:57:10.12
and keep the spirit
alive inside of me, amen.
00:57:10.15\00:57:12.68
Hello my name is
Herisa and I'm from
00:57:18.41\00:57:20.99
Tampa, Florida and
I wasn't really excite
00:57:21.02\00:57:23.46
about coming to
Youth for Jesus this year,
00:57:23.49\00:57:25.05
but I came anyways
and I was hoping that
00:57:25.08\00:57:28.01
I would learn a
lot, well my experience
00:57:28.04\00:57:30.11
was on the last
year of outreach,
00:57:30.14\00:57:32.51
we went in our car
with our Bible worker Jessie
00:57:32.54\00:57:35.64
and he told us that
we had no Bible studies
00:57:35.67\00:57:39.38
today, which meant
that we have to go on
00:57:39.41\00:57:42.93
outreach door to door,
well I was really excite
00:57:42.96\00:57:45.16
about that
because that meant that
00:57:45.19\00:57:47.23
we would be going
in the heat of the day,
00:57:47.26\00:57:49.07
in the middle of
the summer in Florida
00:57:49.10\00:57:52.07
knocking on doors and
you know it's really hot.
00:57:52.10\00:57:55.10
So, right before we
went, we went out we prayed,
00:57:55.13\00:58:00.89
I was like Lord
Jesus you know show us
00:58:00.92\00:58:03.18
what you have to see us today.
00:58:03.21\00:58:04.87
Well, we knocked
on the first door
00:58:04.90\00:58:06.53
and this lady
came out and she looked
00:58:06.56\00:58:09.87
really tired and
I was like oh no now
00:58:09.90\00:58:12.13
she is not really
gonna do a Bible study
00:58:12.16\00:58:13.37
so we talk to her, and
we give here the survey,
00:58:13.40\00:58:15.42
and at the end of
the survey it asked
00:58:15.45\00:58:17.69
would you be willing
to have a Bible study.
00:58:17.72\00:58:21.18
And she looked at me
and she is like yes, yes,
00:58:21.21\00:58:24.67
I would I've been
praying for this, amen.
00:58:24.70\00:58:27.01
And after that I
got so excited because
00:58:27.04\00:58:29.34
I was like yes you
know that was our first door
00:58:29.37\00:58:31.40
and she wanted a Bible study.
00:58:31.43\00:58:32.68
Well at the end of
the day it turned out that
00:58:32.71\00:58:34.79
we had 13 Bible
studies and I know that
00:58:34.82\00:58:37.51
it wasn't through me
that we have this may because
00:58:37.54\00:58:40.06
I wouldn't been able to do this
00:58:40.09\00:58:41.19
without Christ, amen. ASI family
00:58:41.22\00:58:47.76
we just want to thank
you for the investment
00:58:47.79\00:58:51.01
that you are making in
your young people, amen.
00:58:51.04\00:58:54.42
Hearts have been
touched and lives have been
00:58:54.45\00:58:57.32
changed for eternity.
And if it weren't through
00:58:57.35\00:59:01.37
your generous
donations this wouldn't
00:59:01.40\00:59:04.18
have happened for
these young people
00:59:04.21\00:59:05.48
nor would it have
happened for those
00:59:05.51\00:59:07.74
65 people that made
that decision to bury
00:59:07.77\00:59:11.37
their whole life in the
watery grave of baptism.
00:59:11.40\00:59:14.55
God bless you all
have a great Sabbath
00:59:14.58\00:59:16.81
and again thank you ASI family.
00:59:16.84\00:59:18.71
Can you say praise
the Lord? Praise the Lord.
00:59:18.74\00:59:21.47
this wouldn't
00:59:21.50\00:59:22.47
have happened for
these young people
00:59:22.48\00:59:23.45
nor would it have
happened for those
00:59:23.46\00:59:24.43
65 people that made
that decision to bury
00:59:24.44\00:59:25.41
