There is a river and
it flows from deep within,
00:01:40.49\00:01:59.20
There is a fountain
that frees the soul from sin.
00:01:59.21\00:02:15.72
Come to this water,
there is a vast supply.
00:02:16.87\00:02:34.87
There is a river
that never shall run dry.
00:02:34.88\00:02:51.53
And there was a thirsty woman
00:02:51.54\00:02:59.82
she was drawing from a well,
00:03:00.78\00:03:09.93
See her life, it
was ruined and wasted,
00:03:10.55\00:03:19.62
and her soul was bound for hell.
00:03:19.98\00:03:27.18
Oh but then she met the Master
00:03:29.61\00:03:38.79
and he told of her her sins,
00:03:39.13\00:03:48.48
And he said if
you drink this water,
00:03:48.49\00:03:57.73
you'll never thirst again.
00:03:57.74\00:04:08.70
There is a river and
it flows from deep within,
00:04:09.19\00:04:28.21
There is a fountain
that frees the soul from sin.
00:04:28.22\00:04:45.41
Come to this water,
there is a vast supply.
00:04:45.42\00:05:05.00
There is a river
that never shall run dry.
00:05:05.01\00:05:30.40
In the 1998 Charles Le-Morzellec
00:05:32.69\00:05:35.62
was living happily in
the suburban Washington DC,
00:05:35.63\00:05:38.84
but he felt
impress to go overseas
00:05:39.70\00:05:41.55
and take a look
what was out there,
00:05:41.56\00:05:43.37
what country did you go to?
00:05:45.28\00:05:46.33
I went to Haiti.
And what happened?
00:05:46.97\00:05:48.95
Well that's my
first mistake I went to
00:05:49.66\00:05:51.41
visit Haiti and stop
to, obviously to get a small
00:05:51.42\00:05:55.83
offer in some
power plants seeing that
00:05:55.84\00:05:58.20
it wasn't really working well.
00:05:58.75\00:05:59.98
On a first week I was there,
00:05:59.99\00:06:01.56
I hey didn't have
any money for food.
00:06:01.57\00:06:02.76
I didn't have any money
of myself with me because
00:06:03.42\00:06:05.44
I was just suppose to
visit and I find myself
00:06:05.45\00:06:08.98
on the second day
looking for a new location
00:06:09.33\00:06:11.33
for the kid, because
I find out at that night
00:06:11.34\00:06:13.47
that Haiti was so
big, you've to look twice,
00:06:14.09\00:06:17.40
are you looking
at the kid or looking
00:06:17.41\00:06:18.67
at the Haiti you know.
00:06:18.68\00:06:19.65
So, you have an orphanage,
00:06:19.66\00:06:20.90
you have a school
and what else, a clinic?
00:06:21.42\00:06:24.34
An orphanage is about
40 kids, school is between
00:06:24.77\00:06:27.45
150 to 200, probably 200
students this year coming.
00:06:27.46\00:06:30.72
We have a clinic
open every day of the week
00:06:31.21\00:06:34.02
for the local
people, we provide medication
00:06:34.03\00:06:37.30
basically free, the
church is going to compound.
00:06:37.31\00:06:40.00
We have no water
station and we also give
00:06:40.40\00:06:43.31
you know pure
water I mean you know
00:06:43.32\00:06:44.74
purify water to the people.
00:06:44.75\00:06:46.49
Okay, your orphanage
is not in the city of
00:06:46.50\00:06:49.74
Port-au-Prince, you are
some distance away right?
00:06:49.75\00:06:52.66
Correct, yeah we
move to the country sides.
00:06:52.67\00:06:54.65
Okay and what was impact of the
00:06:54.66\00:06:56.88
earthquake on your facilities?
00:06:56.89\00:06:58.35
For us not too much
really I mean we didn't loose
00:06:58.75\00:07:01.86
any building nothing
like that, the all place
00:07:01.87\00:07:05.13
shook but nothing
fell, but the real impact
00:07:05.14\00:07:08.68
is on the refuge
after that, you know all the
00:07:08.69\00:07:10.73
people are leaving
power plants and in our
00:07:10.74\00:07:13.60
compound from
short time about 2 months
00:07:13.61\00:07:16.50
2- and-half months
we had 772 people there.
00:07:16.51\00:07:19.63
772, yeah normally
you have about 120 people
00:07:20.13\00:07:23.94
there right? Well no
I mean I'm not counting
00:07:23.95\00:07:25.81
all the people; I'm
talking the extra people
00:07:25.82\00:07:27.57
the refugee, oh okay.
So, if you figure everything
00:07:27.58\00:07:30.43
we are closer to 1000 you know.
00:07:30.44\00:07:32.02
Wow! Now I understand
you have some pictures
00:07:32.03\00:07:34.23
you like to
share with us a video,
00:07:34.24\00:07:35.55
yes correct. Okay,
let's watch the video now.
00:07:35.56\00:07:38.38
Traveling to the
post earthquake Haiti,
00:07:39.31\00:07:41.44
seems like you are in
the middle of war zone,
00:07:41.80\00:07:43.86
homes are
demolished, churches destroyed,
00:07:43.87\00:07:47.73
families are cramped in
tiny six by eight rooms,
00:07:48.59\00:07:51.54
the wall made from a
bead sheet or cardboard box.
00:07:52.18\00:07:55.15
Their only barrier
from the wind and rain
00:07:55.90\00:07:58.36
that threatens them every night.
00:07:58.37\00:07:59.72
Life in the streets
is filled with urgency.
00:08:01.44\00:08:04.32
A small group from
New Hope Adventist church
00:08:05.23\00:08:07.62
cautiously travel 60
miles from Port-au-Prince
00:08:08.04\00:08:11.37
to the town of
Maureen, home of the
00:08:11.72\00:08:14.75
Eden Garden Orphanage.
We are greeted there by
00:08:14.76\00:08:17.96
the children of
Eden Garden, a wonderful
00:08:17.97\00:08:20.83
reunion after 9
months since our last visit.
00:08:20.84\00:08:23.84
In our short time
here we will drill a well
00:08:25.39\00:08:27.98
to provide clean
water to the orphanage
00:08:27.99\00:08:30.24
and neighboring community.
00:08:30.53\00:08:31.84
We will also begin
medical assessments on every
00:08:33.21\00:08:35.74
child at Eden Garden Orphanage,
00:08:35.75\00:08:37.45
and develop a process for future
00:08:37.96\00:08:40.22
medical mission trips.
As finally we will focus on
00:08:40.23\00:08:44.42
developing relationships
with key organizations
00:08:44.43\00:08:47.51
and hospitals to
ensure that long term food
00:08:47.52\00:08:51.03
and health care
needs are provided for the
00:08:51.04\00:08:53.31
children of Eden
Garden. Even when water is
00:08:53.32\00:08:57.60
collected 90% of all
the water that is available
00:08:57.61\00:09:00.82
is not clean. If you
are lucky and have money
00:09:01.55\00:09:06.07
to stand in line
for a jug of water,
00:09:06.08\00:09:08.02
it still many not be clean.
00:09:08.62\00:09:10.12
Virtually every
water source is shared with
00:09:11.56\00:09:14.20
wild animals and garbage.
00:09:14.21\00:09:16.22
After finishing the inventory,
00:09:17.05\00:09:18.59
the medical team
decides to open the clinic
00:09:18.60\00:09:21.12
the following day.
Words spreads quickly
00:09:21.13\00:09:24.94
throughout the town,
the medical professionals
00:09:24.95\00:09:27.24
will be open for business.
00:09:27.84\00:09:28.95
The mission and the New
Hope Church is committed
00:09:31.63\00:09:33.57
to the Eden Garden is huge.
00:09:33.58\00:09:35.74
The children of
Eden Garden Orphanage
00:09:36.61\00:09:39.05
are fed three times a
day by caring kitchen staff.
00:09:39.06\00:09:42.84
They play, study, and
live in safe environment
00:09:43.62\00:09:47.00
that gives them a
life unparallel to what is
00:09:47.45\00:09:50.39
happening outside the
walls of the orphanage.
00:09:50.40\00:09:53.10
There is a
constant commotion occurring
00:09:54.55\00:09:56.35
every day here, but it
is a commotion that improves
00:09:56.36\00:10:00.33
the quality of the
lives at Eden Garden.
00:10:00.34\00:10:03.47
After days of
drilling and struggling through
00:10:06.58\00:10:08.90
major language barriers,
and unforeseen problems,
00:10:08.91\00:10:12.06
we finally strait water.
00:10:12.65\00:10:14.59
Well Charles if I
should ask you what is your
00:10:23.91\00:10:26.07
most pressing
need, I'm sure there are
00:10:26.08\00:10:28.67
lots of needs,
lots of challenges,
00:10:28.68\00:10:30.67
but what's would
you consider the most
00:10:31.14\00:10:32.86
pressing need that
you have right now?
00:10:32.87\00:10:34.51
I'm glad you ask
the good question,
00:10:35.15\00:10:36.83
what we really need is
power or lack of power,
00:10:37.59\00:10:41.87
we don't have any
power. We have generator and
00:10:41.88\00:10:43.86
that doesn't work,
we need solar system
00:10:43.87\00:10:46.24
and we know that to
do solar system for the
00:10:46.97\00:10:48.37
compound it's
about $40,000 to do it,
00:10:48.38\00:10:50.96
it's a big chunk of
money but since you saw
00:10:51.53\00:10:53.79
that church give us
well last Sabbath to give me
00:10:53.80\00:10:58.68
a challenge. If I
could raise 20000 they would
00:10:58.69\00:11:02.33
put 20000 for it.
So, I'm giving you to
00:11:02.34\00:11:05.32
challenge I need
$20000 can anyone attempt.
00:11:05.33\00:11:08.21
Very good, we will
continue to pray for
00:11:09.50\00:11:12.22
Eden Garden Orphanage
and hope the Lord continue
00:11:12.23\00:11:15.35
to bless your
efforts at there in Haiti.
00:11:15.36\00:11:17.34
Thank you very much.
Thank you, thank you ASI.
00:11:17.35\00:11:19.37
Now this morning you
all listen to Don Noble
00:11:20.38\00:11:22.82
Mr. Maranatha and he
told he was going to talk
00:11:22.83\00:11:26.02
about Haiti also, so
we will turn to time over
00:11:26.03\00:11:28.58
to him and let him use
up all what is a 10 minutes
00:11:28.59\00:11:32.80
that you have to tell us about
00:11:32.81\00:11:34.40
what Maranatha
is doing in Haiti?
00:11:34.90\00:11:36.99
Thank you very much you know
00:11:38.63\00:11:39.80
it was January 12 it 04:57 p. m
00:11:39.81\00:11:42.99
it was 35 seconds,
that change life in
00:11:43.58\00:11:47.12
Port-au-Prince and
the lives of millions
00:11:47.13\00:11:49.25
of people. I was
there just couple of weeks
00:11:49.26\00:11:51.92
ago again and
what I see there is,
00:11:51.93\00:11:55.19
it looks a bomb hit the
city. The media has left;
00:11:55.20\00:12:00.05
there is not a lot of
press that drives your
00:12:00.92\00:12:03.16
attention to it. You
can go about your life
00:12:03.17\00:12:05.60
and forget about
it, but I can tell you
00:12:05.61\00:12:07.18
it's still
really, really tough in
00:12:07.91\00:12:11.22
Port-au-Prince,
Haiti. 230,000 people killed,
00:12:11.23\00:12:15.00
300,000 injured, still
over one-and-half million
00:12:15.67\00:12:20.17
people living in
tents, and we are coming
00:12:20.18\00:12:22.08
into the rainy season.
I've walked through some
00:12:22.09\00:12:24.52
of those tents with
all water is running
00:12:24.53\00:12:26.69
through the area,
you wouldn't wanna live
00:12:26.70\00:12:31.38
there, you
wouldn't wanna be there.
00:12:31.39\00:12:33.05
But, I'm here to
encourage you that
00:12:33.74\00:12:36.72
God's church is still positive,
00:12:36.73\00:12:39.36
in fact they have
saying, at the church in Haiti
00:12:39.97\00:12:43.67
they say God is
good all the time,
00:12:43.68\00:12:45.31
and all the time God
is good. I don't even hear
00:12:45.32\00:12:48.90
that so much in North America,
00:12:48.91\00:12:51.31
but God is good all the time.
00:12:51.77\00:12:53.05
And you know Haiti
has been kind of forgotten
00:12:53.75\00:12:57.31
here for the last few months,
00:12:57.32\00:12:59.09
life is tough
for the people there.
00:12:59.47\00:13:01.34
The university campus,
the Seventh-day Adventist
00:13:02.07\00:13:04.29
University there
right after the earthquake
00:13:04.30\00:13:05.95
had about 25,000
displaced people on the campus.
00:13:05.96\00:13:09.49
They are down to
about 17,000 now,
00:13:09.96\00:13:12.21
but it's still a
major issue. I wanna show
00:13:12.75\00:13:16.64
you a couple of
pictures, I know you saw videos,
00:13:16.65\00:13:20.15
you got a little idea
this is the Presidential
00:13:20.16\00:13:22.13
Palace you probably
seen in on the news,
00:13:22.14\00:13:23.98
I can tell you that
they haven't fix it yet.
00:13:24.38\00:13:26.31
As you drive around
town these are the types
00:13:26.89\00:13:29.20
of pictures you
see pancake buildings
00:13:29.21\00:13:32.11
everywhere you
turn. They are starting
00:13:32.53\00:13:35.08
to clean some of
it up, but they have a
00:13:35.09\00:13:37.37
tremendously long ways to go.
00:13:37.38\00:13:39.28
This is a very
interesting location
00:13:40.10\00:13:42.25
in Port-au-Prince
where in the median between
00:13:42.26\00:13:44.13
the two lanes people
are living in these shacks.
00:13:44.14\00:13:47.74
This is the Central
Seventh-day Adventist
00:13:49.32\00:13:53.11
Church in
Port-au-Prince auditorium it was
00:13:53.12\00:13:56.03
completely destroyed
and the school behind
00:13:56.04\00:13:57.82
it was destroyed. Its,
it was school for about
00:13:57.83\00:14:02.72
7 or 800 children.
We put up one day church
00:14:02.73\00:14:06.94
frames there they
are using up for school
00:14:07.38\00:14:09.05
and for church here as church on
00:14:09.06\00:14:10.47
Sabbath morning. We
have actually three of these
00:14:10.48\00:14:13.08
side by side, by
side there you look out at
00:14:13.09\00:14:15.45
platform out in
front, and they have close
00:14:15.98\00:14:18.88
to a 1000 people
there on some Sabbaths.
00:14:18.89\00:14:20.82
It's a place that
you can hardly imagine.
00:14:21.36\00:14:25.18
We are moving right
along to location called
00:14:26.88\00:14:29.76
Tabarre, this is the
Seventh-day Adventist
00:14:29.77\00:14:32.66
Church as it looked
after the earthquake.
00:14:32.67\00:14:34.50
Today we put a one day church,
00:14:35.85\00:14:37.65
it's actually two of
them back to back because
00:14:37.66\00:14:39.67
its large congregation,
I went in there on a
00:14:39.68\00:14:42.81
rainy evening
couple of weeks ago and
00:14:42.82\00:14:45.36
they were filling a
place with the members
00:14:45.37\00:14:48.50
for prayer meeting,
worship and their lighting
00:14:48.97\00:14:52.44
system was two light
bulbs, and they were all
00:14:52.45\00:14:55.19
smiling and happy,
because God was blessing them.
00:14:55.20\00:14:58.61
It's, this is a
church called Christwa,
00:14:59.15\00:15:04.89
I'm sure I
didn't say that right,
00:15:05.68\00:15:07.57
it's the French pronunciation.
00:15:08.53\00:15:10.46
Just before the earthquake this
00:15:11.03\00:15:12.19
particular
location had finished paying
00:15:12.20\00:15:14.24
for their church
and it was destroyed.
00:15:14.25\00:15:15.97
Today we've put up
a one day church there
00:15:16.62\00:15:18.91
and they are reaching
out to their community,
00:15:18.92\00:15:20.46
they've already
had over 20 baptisms
00:15:20.47\00:15:22.58
at this location, as a
result of having a place
00:15:22.59\00:15:26.08
to bring people to have
faith, confidence in God.
00:15:26.54\00:15:30.14
In fact if you walk
through some of those
00:15:30.15\00:15:32.10
tents where people
live, you will find people
00:15:32.49\00:15:36.06
with their arms
lifted up to heaven,
00:15:36.07\00:15:37.42
repeating the
Lord's prayer and when they
00:15:38.00\00:15:40.40
say give us this
day our daily bread,
00:15:40.41\00:15:43.77
they mean it like
non of us ever have,
00:15:44.20\00:15:46.30
I've seen that
it's heartbreaking.
00:15:47.01\00:15:49.67
These churches this
is another one Eden,
00:15:52.16\00:15:55.15
I think is the name of
this particular location.
00:15:55.16\00:15:57.50
These simple churches,
simple you've seen them,
00:15:59.46\00:16:01.52
you see the sample
over here if you been
00:16:01.53\00:16:03.30
to the exhibit hall
you've seen the church
00:16:03.31\00:16:05.26
you might say, I think
these are pretty simple.
00:16:05.27\00:16:07.63
But, here is an
interesting thing that's
00:16:08.85\00:16:10.27
we've learn there
in Port-au-Prince,
00:16:10.28\00:16:12.45
the government, the community,
00:16:12.89\00:16:14.83
the other churches
and the other schools
00:16:15.54\00:16:20.09
are saying
something kind of funny about
00:16:20.59\00:16:22.94
the Adventist
Church because of all
00:16:22.95\00:16:24.63
these building, they
are saying those Adventists,
00:16:24.64\00:16:26.90
you know those
Adventists they must
00:16:27.26\00:16:30.01
be rich, because
they got those churches,
00:16:30.02\00:16:34.03
they got those
schools, they've got to be rich.
00:16:34.51\00:16:36.97
As I mentioned this
morning there is about
00:16:38.58\00:16:40.38
4000 people in
Port-au-Prince meeting
00:16:40.39\00:16:42.45
in this churches
and about 5000 children,
00:16:42.46\00:16:45.16
the interesting
thing is that already
00:16:45.53\00:16:48.12
it's the end of
school year right now,
00:16:48.70\00:16:49.90
they will
started again in October.
00:16:49.91\00:16:51.11
They've already got
lot more people signed up
00:16:51.83\00:16:54.26
because the
parents want their children
00:16:54.27\00:16:56.43
in those schools,
because it's better than
00:16:57.10\00:16:59.78
anything that they
have. And they won't send
00:16:59.79\00:17:02.21
their children
into a school that has a
00:17:02.22\00:17:03.94
concrete rough, it's phenomenal.
00:17:03.95\00:17:07.07
This is actually on
the university campus right
00:17:08.80\00:17:11.44
here picture of part
of the tent city that
00:17:11.45\00:17:17.00
they have 17,000
people. Things that happened
00:17:17.01\00:17:21.93
there is the wall
around the hospital
00:17:21.94\00:17:24.82
on the university was
pretty much collapsed.
00:17:24.83\00:17:27.89
This is the new
wall that we are building
00:17:28.24\00:17:29.91
its 10 feet high,
it will be two-and-half
00:17:30.39\00:17:33.97
kilometers around,
now that's big building.
00:17:33.98\00:17:36.29
A few it's well
over a mile almost a mile
00:17:37.13\00:17:39.68
and half around
the campuses there.
00:17:39.69\00:17:42.50
And people are
coming from all around
00:17:43.20\00:17:44.84
saying this is the
best wall in the country
00:17:44.85\00:17:49.94
of the Haiti. Hey put
rebar in it it's a trick,
00:17:49.95\00:17:53.64
just rebar. But,
here on the campus is the
00:17:55.07\00:17:58.81
the President of
the university there;
00:17:59.41\00:18:00.98
he is talking to a
class room of children.
00:18:00.99\00:18:03.02
You can see that's
a one day building,
00:18:03.03\00:18:06.41
these building we
have three of these
00:18:06.42\00:18:07.96
side by side on the campus,
00:18:07.97\00:18:09.46
that's the president
J.J. Pear Those buildings
00:18:09.47\00:18:14.41
are 156 feet long,
those three side by side
00:18:14.42\00:18:18.64
they have about
1400 students in those
00:18:19.02\00:18:22.06
three buildings in
two shifts morning and
00:18:22.07\00:18:24.77
afternoon secondary
school and university.
00:18:24.78\00:18:28.09
This is surprisingly
what you wouldn't expect;
00:18:30.71\00:18:33.43
this is the
theological seminary on the
00:18:33.44\00:18:35.93
Adventist
University in Port-au-Prince.
00:18:35.94\00:18:38.58
We are about to
replace it as soon as we get
00:18:39.09\00:18:40.97
a few more
containers across the border,
00:18:40.98\00:18:42.78
this will be replaced
by a one day buildings
00:18:43.65\00:18:46.15
but this is the currently
the theological seminary,
00:18:46.16\00:18:48.12
this is a school
called Lesuse, it was a three
00:18:48.13\00:18:51.67
story building
before the earthquake,
00:18:51.68\00:18:53.67
it completely
collapse killed 22 students.
00:18:54.40\00:18:57.54
Today they are
back to the same number
00:18:59.69\00:19:02.28
of students 850 students there,
00:19:02.29\00:19:04.46
and you might
see the teacher out
00:19:05.12\00:19:07.34
there in front,
excited young people,
00:19:07.35\00:19:11.23
they are positive
as we walk through the
00:19:11.24\00:19:13.07
campus there.
They already have 1100
00:19:13.08\00:19:15.95
signed up for next year.
00:19:15.96\00:19:17.03
So, you can see
that God is working there
00:19:18.28\00:19:21.34
in Haiti; the
church is holding together,
00:19:21.35\00:19:24.83
this is one of the
primary class rooms
00:19:25.16\00:19:27.88
on the university
campus, there in Port-au-Prince.
00:19:28.21\00:19:31.22
One of the
things that surprised me
00:19:35.89\00:19:37.20
is I was talking to the
secretary pastor Ligerra
00:19:38.00\00:19:41.10
of the Central Haiti Conference.
00:19:41.11\00:19:43.89
And he said since
the earthquake the people
00:19:44.27\00:19:48.90
have really
started working into their
00:19:48.91\00:19:51.25
communities
binging people to church
00:19:51.26\00:19:53.23
especially the one day churches.
00:19:53.74\00:19:55.19
Last year 2009 they
baptized 2000 people
00:19:55.54\00:19:58.77
in that conference
2009, since the earthquake
00:19:58.78\00:20:03.38
they've baptized
4000, praise the Lord, 4000.
00:20:03.39\00:20:09.24
Now again those
people are living in a very
00:20:10.81\00:20:12.49
tough times, and
when you are really tough
00:20:12.50\00:20:15.13
times you tend to
turn to God, right.
00:20:15.14\00:20:16.96
It's that's
certainly part of it;
00:20:18.06\00:20:19.65
the other part is
they have a place to meet,
00:20:20.07\00:20:21.73
a place to form
community and work
00:20:21.74\00:20:24.85
together and create hope.
00:20:24.86\00:20:26.59
It's exciting to
me is that despite the
00:20:27.45\00:20:30.56
difficulties they have
had, despite the earthquake,
00:20:30.57\00:20:32.68
despite the loss of
family, and friends,
00:20:33.37\00:20:36.99
despite the fact that
they mostly don't have
00:20:37.44\00:20:39.82
any food, and
despite all the conditions
00:20:39.83\00:20:43.58
they live into the
tents, despite all those things
00:20:43.59\00:20:46.62
those people are
still praising God.
00:20:47.01\00:20:48.48
So, when you think of
Haiti, think of the fact
00:20:49.69\00:20:53.53
that these people
are still seeking God,
00:20:53.54\00:20:56.37
they are still strong
Seventh-day Adventists,
00:20:56.86\00:20:59.16
they are still
reaching out to their neighbors,
00:20:59.17\00:21:00.82
they are living in
horrible conditions,
00:21:02.00\00:21:04.13
almost unbearable
conditions that you can
00:21:04.74\00:21:06.80
hardly relate to. But,
God is still their strength
00:21:06.81\00:21:09.93
and they are turning
to him on a regular basis
00:21:10.68\00:21:12.95
for furthers uplifting support.
00:21:12.96\00:21:15.49
Don't forget Haiti,
we are gonna still need
00:21:15.90\00:21:19.45
some support for
schools and churches down there
00:21:19.46\00:21:22.56
and we hope that we
can continue to work
00:21:23.02\00:21:25.40
in that country, you
know education director
00:21:25.41\00:21:27.47
for the country use to
be a Seventh-day Adventist,
00:21:27.48\00:21:30.50
and he has come to
the university and ask
00:21:31.43\00:21:33.37
to use all of the
class rooms on the campus
00:21:33.38\00:21:37.60
of the Adventist
University for testing
00:21:38.05\00:21:41.42
that they do every
summer for the children
00:21:41.43\00:21:43.12
because there
are best classrooms
00:21:43.13\00:21:45.57
in Port-au-Prince
isn't that interesting?
00:21:46.09\00:21:48.31
At the university or
next to the university
00:21:49.76\00:21:52.31
is the Adventist
hospital and in the hospital
00:21:52.32\00:21:55.08
we've also been able to
do a couple of buildings
00:21:55.74\00:21:57.86
we've got what's still
being used as emergency room,
00:21:57.87\00:22:00.58
and they also have a
triage unit right there
00:22:01.20\00:22:03.92
as a one day building,
so the hospital is using
00:22:04.26\00:22:08.01
these two. The thing
that touched me was that
00:22:08.02\00:22:11.49
God knew when we were
asked to send buildings
00:22:11.50\00:22:16.45
for shelter, he knew
that they really need
00:22:16.46\00:22:18.67
a churches and
schools, and I saw that with
00:22:18.68\00:22:21.34
my own eyes how God had
led through this process.
00:22:21.35\00:22:24.31
I said praise God
he really cares for his
00:22:24.85\00:22:27.28
people and he cares
for his people in Haiti,
00:22:27.29\00:22:30.02
and I would certainly
list your prayers and support
00:22:30.50\00:22:33.02
for your brothers and sisters
00:22:33.03\00:22:34.26
in the country
of Haiti, thank you.
00:22:34.79\00:22:36.32
I boast not of works
or tell of good deeds
00:22:53.24\00:22:58.89
For naught have I
done to merit His grace
00:22:58.90\00:23:07.15
All glory and
praise shall rest upon Him
00:23:07.56\00:23:14.65
So willing to die in my place
00:23:15.08\00:23:21.37
I will glory in
the cross, In the cross
00:23:22.32\00:23:28.81
Lest His
suffering all be in vain
00:23:28.82\00:23:36.30
I will weep no more
for the cross that He bore
00:23:36.70\00:23:43.95
I will glory in the cross
00:23:43.96\00:23:50.88
My trophies and crowns,
my robe stained with sin
00:23:56.03\00:24:02.50
Twas all that I
had to lay at His feet
00:24:02.51\00:24:11.74
Unworthy to eat
from the table of Life
00:24:11.75\00:24:19.06
Till Love made provision for me
00:24:19.07\00:24:26.55
I will glory in
the cross, In the cross
00:24:26.56\00:24:33.63
Lest His
suffering all be in vain
00:24:33.64\00:24:41.09
I will weep no more
for the cross that He bore
00:24:41.10\00:24:48.89
I will glory I will glory
00:24:48.90\00:24:56.86
Glory, Glory in the cross.
00:24:56.87\00:25:11.62
Thank you so much for
that beautiful number.
00:25:20.36\00:25:22.13
We love our
young people don't we?
00:25:22.14\00:25:23.53
They are awesome.
This afternoon I have
00:25:23.54\00:25:26.41
with me Brother David Canther
00:25:26.42\00:25:28.40
and Dr. Jason Shives.
Are you folks are from an
00:25:28.94\00:25:32.90
organization called
Acts, can you tell us
00:25:32.91\00:25:35.04
what that is, what
you do, what does it mean?
00:25:35.05\00:25:36.86
Sure Ellen, the Acts
means Active Community
00:25:36.87\00:25:40.34
Team serving around the world.
00:25:40.35\00:25:42.22
Okay and you serve
around the world then.
00:25:43.10\00:25:46.65
We enjoy helping
especially in first
00:25:47.27\00:25:49.65
response, emergency
response domestically
00:25:49.66\00:25:52.69
and of course in
Haiti we've been there the
00:25:53.08\00:25:54.66
past seven months,
serving 71,000 patients,
00:25:54.67\00:25:58.68
Dr. Jason is gonna share
about that in a little bit,
00:25:58.69\00:26:01.27
I went into the
hospital there in Haiti,
00:26:01.62\00:26:03.58
began helping in
the kitchen within the
00:26:04.07\00:26:05.85
first five days after
the earthquake and actually
00:26:05.86\00:26:09.23
prepared over
300,000 heart vegan meals
00:26:09.24\00:26:12.59
right out of that
cafeteria there in Haiti.
00:26:12.60\00:26:14.41
Heart vegan meals
for refugees, yes,
00:26:14.42\00:26:16.01
hey they like that
food? Oh man I tell you
00:26:16.02\00:26:18.26
it was a greatest
blessing and a lot of patients
00:26:18.27\00:26:20.35
you see when you
cook healthy meals,
00:26:20.36\00:26:22.53
right like the rig we
have out here in the frame,
00:26:22.54\00:26:24.71
we have vegetarian
meals, we cook all over
00:26:24.72\00:26:26.96
and vegan meals but
at the hospital it became
00:26:26.97\00:26:30.35
known as the lighthouse
on the hilltop because
00:26:30.36\00:26:33.50
the patients could
actually get well quicker
00:26:33.51\00:26:35.52
by feeding them
good nutritious meals,
00:26:35.53\00:26:38.07
we shift in 6500
pounds of TVP within
00:26:38.08\00:26:41.78
the first week
after the earthquake.
00:26:41.79\00:26:43.10
Wow! That's
amazing, now this afternoon,
00:26:43.43\00:26:46.38
you brought a
little video clip with you,
00:26:46.39\00:26:48.67
so we can enjoy,
actually going to Haiti
00:26:48.68\00:26:51.65
and we are gonna
enjoy that at this time.
00:26:51.66\00:26:52.92
My name is David Canther,
00:27:02.74\00:27:03.73
just a little update
of where God has been
00:27:03.74\00:27:06.05
leading Haiti in that
past six months in one
00:27:06.06\00:27:09.46
of the largest
historic catastrophic events
00:27:09.47\00:27:12.34
in the world. We
would give a brief over cap,
00:27:12.35\00:27:14.55
phase 1 was Acute
Care as many of the
00:27:14.95\00:27:18.05
medical providers came
in and found themselves
00:27:18.06\00:27:20.75
working as we came to
the Adventist hospital
00:27:20.76\00:27:23.83
at Haiti and the
needs were very acute as
00:27:23.84\00:27:28.68
thousands of people
were on the frontline
00:27:28.69\00:27:30.39
of the hospital, so
as we looked at phase 1,
00:27:30.40\00:27:32.95
it need involved
lot of amputations,
00:27:32.96\00:27:35.33
a lot of acute
medical care and coming
00:27:35.34\00:27:38.63
to the hospital
where they disparately
00:27:38.64\00:27:41.43
needed help, this
was before many other
00:27:41.44\00:27:43.48
institution
arrived at the same access,
00:27:43.49\00:27:46.54
well known to be a
first responder acting
00:27:46.55\00:27:49.01
quickly to save
thousands of life.
00:27:49.02\00:27:51.38
The mobile clinic
next door which we set up
00:27:51.80\00:27:53.82
across from the
hospital was phase 2
00:27:53.83\00:27:55.89
and there we were
able to primarily focus
00:27:55.90\00:27:59.33
on pediatric and
primary care patients.
00:27:59.34\00:28:01.95
We saw anywhere
between basically 700
00:28:02.42\00:28:05.41
and 1500 people a
day at that clinic.
00:28:05.42\00:28:07.72
Those patients would
walk up to four hours
00:28:07.73\00:28:10.37
a day to be there
at that clinic where we
00:28:10.38\00:28:12.48
administered
over $2.3 millions of
00:28:12.49\00:28:14.79
donated medicine. Our
focus on phase 1 and 2
00:28:14.80\00:28:17.87
was lot of
medical, and emotional,
00:28:17.88\00:28:19.56
and spiritual care.
We were blessed to help
00:28:19.57\00:28:21.88
over 68,000
patients, and we look at that
00:28:21.89\00:28:25.24
as a real honor.
Phase 3 is an exciting phase
00:28:25.25\00:28:29.72
to be into because
it's teaching how to fish
00:28:29.73\00:28:32.29
and not only how to
fish, but giving the
00:28:32.30\00:28:34.85
Haitians the
ownership of the pond.
00:28:34.86\00:28:36.49
But literally
coming into train them in
00:28:36.82\00:28:39.59
professional
technical training that would be
00:28:39.60\00:28:42.42
able to use them
in the orphanages
00:28:42.43\00:28:44.41
and in the schools
and in their country
00:28:44.42\00:28:46.36
very effectively.
It's a important thing
00:28:47.44\00:28:50.50
to be able to teach them things
00:28:50.51\00:28:52.46
like triage, and medical care.
00:28:52.47\00:28:54.62
It helped me so
much; first of all
00:28:55.12\00:28:57.56
it helped me to help others.
00:28:59.16\00:29:01.08
It's about being
able to see changed lives,
00:29:01.41\00:29:04.54
changed lives through
everything we did from
00:29:04.55\00:29:07.48
the acute
medical to feeding food.
00:29:07.49\00:29:10.69
Mass care feeding is
another strength of Acts
00:29:10.70\00:29:13.25
into doing things of
mentoring and training
00:29:13.74\00:29:16.67
into the future changing lives.
00:29:16.68\00:29:18.61
Probably one of the
most exciting things
00:29:18.98\00:29:20.67
though was
actually training them in
00:29:20.68\00:29:22.44
spiritual care,
emotional care, how to lead
00:29:22.45\00:29:24.99
somebody to Christ,
and that's the thrill
00:29:25.00\00:29:28.02
of when they
realize that they can pray
00:29:28.03\00:29:30.26
in a
comfortable way with people.
00:29:30.27\00:29:32.01
The Acts prayer
model someone created
00:29:32.36\00:29:35.00
there in Haiti is
built on the acronym ACTS
00:29:35.01\00:29:38.89
they begin
realizing how they can be
00:29:38.90\00:29:41.27
effective in their own country.
00:29:41.28\00:29:42.92
I want to call you to
Acts, God is calling you
00:29:50.26\00:29:52.81
to serve right
now. There is a way that
00:29:52.82\00:29:55.96
your gifts can be
used both domestically
00:29:55.97\00:29:58.02
and
internationally. We wanna invite
00:29:58.03\00:30:00.20
you to become a
part of the vision that
00:30:00.21\00:30:02.70
God has placed within our heart.
00:30:02.71\00:30:03.95
Wow! That is
thrilling isn't not wonderful?
00:30:05.76\00:30:08.04
Praise God, where God is doing,
00:30:08.45\00:30:09.42
so you are going is, you
are the some of the first
00:30:09.43\00:30:11.21
people into Haiti
then as first responders.
00:30:11.22\00:30:13.17
Actually God blessed with
27 fridgets of individuals
00:30:13.18\00:30:17.46
that we shipped in
primarily medical care
00:30:17.47\00:30:19.10
within the first three
days of the earthquake.
00:30:19.11\00:30:21.01
Dr. Jason Shives came
in on day four or five with
00:30:21.38\00:30:24.84
a group as a
first response group,
00:30:24.85\00:30:26.78
and they did a
phenomenal job as well.
00:30:27.09\00:30:29.01
Lot of orthopedic
surgeons, anesthesiologists,
00:30:29.50\00:30:32.31
nurses the first jet load
actually was with Haitians
00:30:32.32\00:30:35.79
Adventist physicians
out of Florida Conference.
00:30:35.80\00:30:38.17
Oh that's
wonderful, that's wonderful.
00:30:38.18\00:30:40.62
And then you go kind
of into a secondary phase
00:30:41.01\00:30:43.03
in these
disasters because obviously
00:30:43.04\00:30:45.01
first responding has
hopefully an endpoint
00:30:45.02\00:30:47.15
when the earthquake stops.
00:30:47.16\00:30:48.26
Well Haiti is very
unique and catastrophically
00:30:48.27\00:30:51.19
different, but firs
phase was acute care,
00:30:51.20\00:30:52.78
second case,
phase was as I mentioned
00:30:52.79\00:30:55.95
basically during
the pediatric and
00:30:56.30\00:30:57.96
primary care and
but typically phase 2
00:30:57.97\00:31:01.47
you are getting
more into the emotional,
00:31:01.48\00:31:02.91
spiritual healing.
The third phase is the
00:31:02.92\00:31:05.45
most exciting
you've down what Jesus did,
00:31:05.46\00:31:07.78
you've met the
needs of the people,
00:31:07.79\00:31:09.16
you planted the
seed, watered the seed,
00:31:09.17\00:31:10.93
met the needs of the
people and then you go
00:31:11.31\00:31:13.35
into evangelism and
Dr. Jason just returned
00:31:13.36\00:31:16.21
with me last couple
of weeks we are holding
00:31:16.22\00:31:18.43
three simultaneously
evangelism meetings.
00:31:18.44\00:31:20.99
And I tell you that
people are just wanting
00:31:21.34\00:31:24.68
to give their hearts
to Lord, when you've met
00:31:24.69\00:31:26.89
their needs first
and that's an exciting
00:31:26.90\00:31:29.41
phase right now.
That's wonderful Dr. Shives,
00:31:29.42\00:31:31.57
I wanna you to
share with us a bit about
00:31:31.58\00:31:32.73
what's going on right
now in Haiti right now.
00:31:32.74\00:31:34.64
Actually when I got
the opportunity to go
00:31:34.65\00:31:36.26
to Haiti,
actually it wasn't in on my
00:31:36.27\00:31:38.16
radar screen; I
was in the middle of my
00:31:38.17\00:31:39.90
residency year,
towards the end of
00:31:39.91\00:31:41.18
my residency.
And my wife is like
00:31:41.19\00:31:43.59
there is an
earthquake you got to go,
00:31:44.19\00:31:45.51
I said how to get down there?
00:31:45.52\00:31:46.94
And it seem like a
lot of other people were
00:31:47.34\00:31:49.08
trying to get
down there as well but,
00:31:49.09\00:31:50.31
you know David
comes to me you know sends
00:31:50.32\00:31:52.40
out a message on
facebook and says
00:31:52.41\00:31:53.83
you know we need
doctors, we need nurses,
00:31:53.84\00:31:55.42
we need people
to get down there,
00:31:55.43\00:31:56.92
and whether a
thousands of people.
00:31:57.39\00:31:59.47
So, you found out
about this need on facebook,
00:31:59.48\00:32:01.07
on facebook, that's awesome,
00:32:01.08\00:32:02.05
I'm kind of
facebook fan okay go ahead.
00:32:02.06\00:32:04.16
I found out later
that you know there were
00:32:04.67\00:32:06.51
thousands of medical
professionals are tying
00:32:06.52\00:32:08.70
to get into Haiti
but they couldn't because
00:32:08.71\00:32:10.13
there were
blocks, but because of the
00:32:10.14\00:32:12.08
connections the
Acts was able to make
00:32:12.09\00:32:13.41
we were able to get
in there and save lives
00:32:13.42\00:32:15.76
when people were
still trying to get in
00:32:15.90\00:32:17.29
and praise God
that Adventist hospital
00:32:17.30\00:32:19.74
which was
nearest to the epicenter
00:32:19.75\00:32:21.46
was still standing.
And so is it's if God
00:32:21.47\00:32:23.81
specifically has his
hand over that hospital
00:32:24.49\00:32:26.87
because you knew
there will be teams,
00:32:26.88\00:32:28.48
for sure yeah. When
we got to the hospital
00:32:28.49\00:32:30.35
we didn't know what to expect,
00:32:30.36\00:32:31.60
there is close to a
1000 patients just waiting
00:32:31.61\00:32:34.13
for surgeons to do
operations on them.
00:32:34.14\00:32:36.28
And I spent that first week,
00:32:37.03\00:32:38.72
probably the
busiest week of my life.
00:32:39.45\00:32:41.02
And I felt as if you
know I was really there was
00:32:41.62\00:32:44.79
some spiritual
emphasis but it was all
00:32:44.80\00:32:47.29
just a physical. I
say God if there is an
00:32:47.30\00:32:49.45
opportunity for me
to come back to be able
00:32:49.46\00:32:51.19
to share you to these
patients, let it happen.
00:32:51.20\00:32:54.66
We had the
opportunity in the last couple
00:32:55.00\00:32:56.33
of weeks, I brought
a group from my church
00:32:56.34\00:32:58.30
the force like
Seventh-day Adventist
00:32:58.31\00:32:59.58
church and this
time we did medical
00:32:59.59\00:33:01.42
but we also did
constriction and we had
00:33:01.43\00:33:03.20
evangelism in the evenings.
00:33:03.93\00:33:04.99
That's wonderful.
There wasn't a lot of time
00:33:05.58\00:33:07.11
to do a lot you know
with like when we go to
00:33:07.12\00:33:08.75
Share Him they were
able to prepare the way,
00:33:08.76\00:33:10.21
we didn't have a
lot of that because
00:33:10.58\00:33:11.97
they are still lot
of security issues,
00:33:11.98\00:33:13.60
but we were able to
have 10 people accept Christ
00:33:14.24\00:33:16.68
while we were
there, amen. And we have
00:33:16.69\00:33:18.87
a couple of stories if
you would like us to share;
00:33:18.88\00:33:21.17
there is two
specific stories that really
00:33:21.63\00:33:23.75
were touching. Yeah
well start with one,
00:33:23.76\00:33:25.13
our clock is ticking over here.
00:33:25.14\00:33:26.62
Sure, well one story
I guess we talk about
00:33:26.63\00:33:28.82
our driver. We
were bouncing around
00:33:28.83\00:33:30.95
for two weeks, you
know we go to this church
00:33:30.96\00:33:32.59
and try to build
and this, I started the
00:33:32.60\00:33:36.26
conversation, I was
trying to learn Creole
00:33:36.27\00:33:38.14
and French and I
ask the guy is like
00:33:38.15\00:33:39.84
do you have a
religious affiliations.
00:33:39.85\00:33:41.15
Oh God I don't have
any religious beliefs.
00:33:41.16\00:33:42.98
By the end of the
two week, we had a call
00:33:42.99\00:33:45.76
and he stood up
for baptism, amen.
00:33:45.77\00:33:47.90
And his name is Tony
and I talk to him later
00:33:47.91\00:33:50.18
like why did you
stand up? He is like I never
00:33:50.19\00:33:52.03
seen a group like
this before and just watch
00:33:52.04\00:33:53.45
the way you lived
your lives and what you are
00:33:53.46\00:33:54.87
doing for my people
and I was coming to the
00:33:54.88\00:33:57.00
meetings and I
wanted to accept Jesus too.
00:33:57.01\00:33:58.98
Now David you
only work in Haiti?
00:33:59.37\00:34:01.05
No actually we
work around the world,
00:34:01.47\00:34:03.23
and we have lot of
fun training students,
00:34:03.62\00:34:06.13
I kind of find the
education department,
00:34:06.14\00:34:08.22
the General
Conference in North American
00:34:08.23\00:34:09.75
division we train
youth, we love mentoring
00:34:09.76\00:34:11.86
youth in emergency
response domestically
00:34:11.87\00:34:14.69
work with lot of
academies, our Heritage
00:34:14.70\00:34:16.53
Academy is our
great first responder,
00:34:16.54\00:34:18.66
and train and
search training as well as
00:34:18.67\00:34:20.85
training many other
place, we just get back
00:34:20.86\00:34:22.57
from Argentina last
month. It's great to
00:34:22.58\00:34:25.32
empower our youth
training them to help
00:34:25.33\00:34:28.52
now and it keeps them
involve in their church
00:34:28.53\00:34:30.94
and their communities
and helping the church
00:34:30.95\00:34:32.69
grow wherever they
are at. So, we worked
00:34:32.70\00:34:34.46
domestically, we've
cooked over million meals
00:34:34.47\00:34:37.02
with our kitchens
around the Untied States,
00:34:37.03\00:34:39.39
but in times of
international disaster
00:34:39.40\00:34:41.61
we are the first
response team as well.
00:34:41.62\00:34:43.73
Now do you need volunteers,
00:34:43.74\00:34:45.56
and how can people
get touch with you?
00:34:45.57\00:34:46.94
We have 76,000
volunteers so far, wow.
00:34:46.95\00:34:49.60
We need so many
more, praise the Lord,
00:34:49.61\00:34:51.41
because these
storms are way bigger than
00:34:51.42\00:34:53.17
any of us. Collaboration
is a key, whether you
00:34:53.18\00:34:55.83
are helping with ADRA, ACS, ACTS
00:34:55.84\00:34:58.73
if there were
1000 more organizations
00:34:59.05\00:35:00.92
that would not be enough.
00:35:00.93\00:35:01.90
So, collaboration
is very important,
00:35:01.91\00:35:03.82
but we utilize
volunteers many organizations
00:35:03.83\00:35:06.61
have paid people,
we use volunteers.
00:35:06.62\00:35:09.36
Acts is a blessing to
the denomination especially
00:35:09.37\00:35:13.67
when it comes to
liability because some
00:35:13.68\00:35:15.75
conferences, some
different organizations
00:35:15.76\00:35:17.78
say well you are
doing so much you know
00:35:17.79\00:35:19.24
and we wanna get sued
with the Adventist name
00:35:19.25\00:35:20.72
and so Acts is a
real blessing because
00:35:21.08\00:35:23.08
we carry our own
liability but when individuals
00:35:23.09\00:35:25.72
come in it helps
create opportunity for the
00:35:25.73\00:35:27.96

This is Chip
Doss, I almost feel like
00:36:11.96\00:36:14.03
I don't need to
introduce you Chip
00:36:14.04\00:36:15.13
because you know
surely ASI knows you.
00:36:15.14\00:36:17.24
We know more
commonly from Edgemoor video
00:36:17.25\00:36:20.14
and I think, how many
of you are familiar with
00:36:20.79\00:36:22.94
Edgemoor video? You watch 3ABN?
00:36:22.95\00:36:24.73
Okay, you are
among friends here those
00:36:24.74\00:36:27.20
beautiful nature
scenes and you see the
00:36:27.21\00:36:29.41
animals up close
and I try to imagine
00:36:29.42\00:36:31.83
you climbing over all
those mountains getting
00:36:31.84\00:36:33.38
that awesome footage,
so how does Edgemoor video,
00:36:33.39\00:36:38.64
how have you
found a way to share
00:36:38.65\00:36:40.80
Christ in your marketplace.
00:36:41.28\00:36:42.50
Well, originally we
were just a home business,
00:36:43.04\00:36:45.66
but we now have a
store front in Mountain View,
00:36:45.67\00:36:47.61
Arkansas. And we've
opened an apple store,
00:36:47.62\00:36:50.40
and this is given us
the opportunity to have
00:36:51.07\00:36:53.72
walk in traffic
which we never had before.
00:36:53.73\00:36:55.70
We also do general
video production work
00:36:56.15\00:36:58.16
there in town and we
have just a lot of people
00:36:58.56\00:37:05.68
from many walks of
life that need something
00:37:05.69\00:37:09.71
better and one
thing my mom does is teach
00:37:09.72\00:37:12.87
a cooking class
and so she invites
00:37:12.88\00:37:16.95
and I invite our
customers to go to that class
00:37:17.14\00:37:19.88
and we've had quite a few people
00:37:19.89\00:37:21.47
attend that from our business.
00:37:21.48\00:37:23.12
Now you shared with
me that you have the
00:37:23.58\00:37:25.52
capability to take
like an old some kind of
00:37:25.53\00:37:28.64
multimedia and you
can transfer over to more
00:37:28.65\00:37:31.19
modern digital technology,
you told me the neatest
00:37:31.20\00:37:33.38
story about how you
helped a family with
00:37:33.39\00:37:35.67
one of their
memories what was that?
00:37:35.68\00:37:37.05
Well I just want to
mention one thing about
00:37:37.64\00:37:39.45
the cooking class,
our health work is one
00:37:39.46\00:37:43.05
of the most
important entering wedges
00:37:43.06\00:37:44.54
and we had four
people that were baptize
00:37:44.95\00:37:47.34
from that cooking
class, praise the Lord
00:37:47.35\00:37:49.34
and we just really
are thankful for those new
00:37:49.35\00:37:52.22
members of our
church. But, yeah we had
00:37:52.23\00:37:55.08
a disaster in
Mountain View, Arkansas,
00:37:55.09\00:37:57.73
it was a flood, and
I will talk more about
00:37:57.74\00:37:59.43
that in a minute, but
this lady lost everything
00:37:59.44\00:38:03.06
she owned in a
flood. And one other things
00:38:03.07\00:38:05.93
was that survived
half way was a video tape,
00:38:05.94\00:38:10.49
and that was the
only thing that was left
00:38:10.91\00:38:12.59
that had her son
that had passed away
00:38:12.99\00:38:15.34
and so the tape
had been in water,
00:38:16.20\00:38:18.61
we were able to
take it apart rebuilt it
00:38:18.94\00:38:20.92
and recover it not that's only
00:38:20.93\00:38:22.50
images she has of her son.
00:38:22.51\00:38:24.03
So, this is the kind
of ministry the Edgemoor
00:38:24.42\00:38:26.54
videos doing
locally in the community,
00:38:26.55\00:38:28.04
I just think that so inspiring.
00:38:28.05\00:38:29.35
Now, Chip certainly you
don't climb the mountains
00:38:30.10\00:38:34.59
and do your video
work turn outs, what in the
00:38:34.60\00:38:36.73
world you are doing in
turn outs this afternoon.
00:38:36.74\00:38:38.43
Well I joined, in
2008 I joined my local fire
00:38:38.82\00:38:42.56
department, I
volunteer fire department
00:38:42.57\00:38:44.14
and we had a bad year
in 2008 in Stone County,
00:38:44.95\00:38:49.13
Arkansas. We had
two 100 year floods
00:38:49.14\00:38:52.12
in a period of two weeks.
00:38:52.13\00:38:53.36
These floods just never happen,
00:38:53.82\00:38:55.34
wow in two weeks, in
two weeks it's amazing.
00:38:55.78\00:38:58.99
And the creek that
I have going through
00:38:59.00\00:39:00.41
my property is
usually about 6 inches deep
00:39:00.42\00:39:02.53
and it was over 22 feet. Wow!
00:39:02.54\00:39:06.25
so a lot of water, we
also had an F4 tornado
00:39:06.26\00:39:10.43
that travel through
Arkansas at 123 miles
00:39:10.44\00:39:13.60
and stayed on
the ground as in F4,
00:39:13.98\00:39:16.12
sometimes its F5 for
a 123 miles destroyed
00:39:16.13\00:39:20.49
my old farm that I
had just sold and we also
00:39:20.50\00:39:24.46
had a record ice
storm and record snow storm
00:39:24.47\00:39:28.36
Arkansas just
doesn't get a lot of snow,
00:39:28.37\00:39:30.31
and when you have
three feet of snow
00:39:30.75\00:39:32.40
that's a lot of
snow. For sure even
00:39:32.41\00:39:34.80
I where I lived
in. And that was all
00:39:34.81\00:39:35.78
within a one month period.
00:39:35.79\00:39:36.99
Wow! So, you are
volunteer fireman right?
00:39:37.57\00:39:42.48
Right, so that
means you can get call
00:39:42.49\00:39:44.47
anytime like you
get to sleep at night.
00:39:44.48\00:39:46.63
Most of the time
we do, it's you know
00:39:47.37\00:39:49.01
we are in the real environment,
00:39:49.02\00:39:50.25
so we don't get a
lot of calls but when
00:39:50.26\00:39:52.00
we do they are
generally at 2'o clock
00:39:52.01\00:39:53.65
in the morning. And
so what yeah that seems
00:39:53.66\00:39:55.83
to be how they go
isn't it? They don't go at,
00:39:55.84\00:39:57.39
at 6 after you
finished supper you know
00:39:57.40\00:39:59.77
and everything is
relaxed they wake you up.
00:39:59.78\00:40:01.87
So, you do a lot of
first responder work,
00:40:02.26\00:40:03.97
what kind of blessing
or stories can you share
00:40:03.98\00:40:07.09
for your work as
fireman, it so exciting
00:40:07.10\00:40:08.94
to you really as
you are involved in the
00:40:08.95\00:40:11.23
community that's
really wonderful.
00:40:11.24\00:40:12.81
Well I do most of
the calls we get are
00:40:13.20\00:40:16.65
medical calls, okay.
And you know they are
00:40:16.66\00:40:19.19
usually a coronary
or something like that,
00:40:19.20\00:40:21.95
an elderly person
that's having trouble.
00:40:21.96\00:40:24.07
We also get a
lot of auto accidents
00:40:24.79\00:40:26.73
and ATV
accidents. Motorcycle and ATV
00:40:26.74\00:40:31.42
when you hear that
call command you get
00:40:32.31\00:40:34.38
burred in the air
you know it's everything
00:40:34.39\00:40:36.71
goes into highest
phase mode you can get
00:40:37.15\00:40:40.42
because that's
usually pretty heavy trauma,
00:40:40.43\00:40:42.27
sure. And we've seen amputations
00:40:42.63\00:40:44.95
and from
motorcycle wrecks you know
00:40:44.96\00:40:48.22
just right there in the field,
00:40:48.23\00:40:49.55
and those are quite intense.
00:40:49.56\00:40:51.47
So, do you have any
you know couple of stories
00:40:52.85\00:40:54.46
you can share of
people whose lives
00:40:54.47\00:40:56.26
have been impacted
by you were firework.
00:40:56.27\00:40:57.85
Well the one thing
that I enjoy about being
00:40:58.21\00:41:01.35
on the volunteer fire department
00:41:01.36\00:41:02.88
and as far as
witnessing opportunity,
00:41:03.51\00:41:05.82
my fellow firefighters
are my best friends,
00:41:06.37\00:41:08.70
its, awesome, and
it's really important
00:41:08.71\00:41:09.95
as Seventh-day
Adventist that we get involved
00:41:09.96\00:41:12.00
in our communities,
sure. You know if you don't
00:41:12.01\00:41:15.14
know these people
when you go to do an
00:41:15.15\00:41:16.95
evangelistic crusade,
especially where I live,
00:41:16.96\00:41:20.46
they already have a
church, they already have
00:41:20.91\00:41:23.60
something that they
are doing, and you know
00:41:24.32\00:41:27.11
how are you gonna
witness to those people
00:41:27.12\00:41:28.59
if you don't know them,
00:41:28.60\00:41:30.25
if you are not their friend.
00:41:30.26\00:41:31.23
But, I have a couple
of stories I would like
00:41:31.66\00:41:33.93
to share with
you, one was a man had
00:41:33.94\00:41:37.64
just passed away
and we got there just
00:41:37.65\00:41:41.73
as he was dying and we
were not able to save him,
00:41:41.74\00:41:44.35
and those are some of
the saddest calls we go
00:41:44.84\00:41:47.34
on but they give us
the best opportunity to
00:41:47.35\00:41:50.18
comfort the family
and to be with them
00:41:50.19\00:41:51.93
in the time of
grief. And then also we had
00:41:51.94\00:41:55.84
an individual that
and this is kind of a
00:41:55.85\00:41:59.04
traumatic story,
but he was out hanging
00:41:59.05\00:42:01.77
his field and the track
he fell off his tractor,
00:42:01.78\00:42:04.81
and the tractor cut to
the right and then stay
00:42:05.63\00:42:08.06
to the right, and
continue to run over him
00:42:08.07\00:42:10.14
and over, and over,
and over, and over again
00:42:10.15\00:42:12.05
and that was one of
the first call I ever
00:42:12.44\00:42:14.61
went on and it was it
was quite something to see.
00:42:14.62\00:42:17.80
And then we have of
course fire calls and
00:42:18.24\00:42:23.58
you know that's a
disaster right there,
00:42:24.78\00:42:26.48
it maybe small, it may
not ever make the news,
00:42:26.49\00:42:28.59
but it's a disaster
for them, they are loosing
00:42:28.60\00:42:30.98
everything they've
ever had, for sure yeah.
00:42:30.99\00:42:33.90
And that's really hard
on them and we are there
00:42:33.91\00:42:35.83
to comfort them
and one thing we have
00:42:36.21\00:42:37.66
with our local
Seventh-day Adventist
00:42:37.67\00:42:39.15
church as we have
the relief supplies
00:42:39.16\00:42:41.38
and room is
available if they need to stay
00:42:41.39\00:42:43.46
in a motel room for
a while we can do that,
00:42:44.02\00:42:46.50
and our fire
department is aware of that,
00:42:46.51\00:42:48.76
and uses those services.
00:42:48.77\00:42:50.37
Oh so that's a
blessing, so your local fire
00:42:50.38\00:42:52.20
department ties in
then with your Adventist
00:42:52.21\00:42:54.05
church and
provide that's wonderful,
00:42:54.06\00:42:55.54
that's something that
lot of us could do with
00:42:55.55\00:42:57.37
our community services,
that's really wonderful.
00:42:57.38\00:43:00.30
So, the challenge
comes to us that they are
00:43:00.77\00:43:03.39
so many different
ways that we can integrate
00:43:03.40\00:43:05.38
and be involved in our community
00:43:05.39\00:43:07.14
and there in
Arkansas you are trying a
00:43:07.15\00:43:08.31
Bible bell, right,
so people are somewhat
00:43:08.59\00:43:11.06
satisfied with their
religious believes often.
00:43:11.07\00:43:13.60
Right and you know I
would really encourage
00:43:13.61\00:43:16.62
you to join your
local fire department
00:43:16.63\00:43:20.21
and if you were able to
do that it's a lot of fun,
00:43:20.22\00:43:22.47
it's a adrenaline
rush occasionally and,
00:43:22.48\00:43:24.39
push your mic up, and
I think you would just
00:43:24.40\00:43:27.90
enjoy it, it's a
beautiful experience and you can
00:43:27.91\00:43:30.64
make lifelong
friends from doing that.
00:43:30.65\00:43:32.46
Well thank Chip
so much for coming
00:43:33.43\00:43:35.02
and sharing with us
today, and God bless you
00:43:35.03\00:43:36.48
and our ministry. Thank you.
00:43:36.49\00:43:37.68
In my darkness Jesus found me,
00:43:42.72\00:43:47.10
Touched my eyes and made me see
00:43:49.02\00:43:55.27
Broke sin's chains
which long had bound me
00:43:55.28\00:44:01.59
Gave me life and liberty
00:44:01.60\00:44:08.34
O glorious love of
Christ my Lord divine
00:44:08.77\00:44:14.85
That made Him stoop
to save a soul like mine
00:44:14.86\00:44:20.82
Through all my days
and then in heaven above
00:44:20.83\00:44:26.63
My song will silence
never, I'll worship Him forever
00:44:27.97\00:44:33.58
And praise Him
for His glorious love
00:44:34.00\00:44:39.55
O amazing truth to ponder
He Whom angel hosts attend
00:44:40.25\00:44:52.48
Lord of heaven
God's Son what wonder
00:44:53.00\00:44:58.98
He became the sinner's Friend
00:44:59.48\00:45:05.92
O glorious love of
Christ my Lord divine
00:45:06.33\00:45:12.26
That made Him stoop
to save a soul like mine
00:45:12.27\00:45:18.37
Through all my days
and then in heaven above
00:45:18.38\00:45:25.17
My song will silence
never, I'll worship Him forever
00:45:25.18\00:45:31.00
And praise Him
for His glorious love
00:45:31.40\00:45:37.53
My song will silence
never, I'll worship Him forever
00:45:37.54\00:45:43.31
And praise Him
for His glorious love
00:45:43.32\00:45:49.52
And praise Him
for His glorious love
00:45:50.03\00:45:55.52
And praise Him
for His glorious love
00:45:57.01\00:46:08.26
Their chains were fastened tight
00:50:54.52\00:50:58.36
Down at the jail that night
00:50:59.06\00:51:02.08
Still Paul and Silas
would not be dismayed
00:51:02.64\00:51:10.14
They said, "It's
time to lift our voice,
00:51:10.61\00:51:14.77
and sing praises to the Lord
00:51:14.78\00:51:18.77
Let's prove that we can
trust Him come what may"
00:51:19.16\00:51:27.10
God wants to hear you sing
00:51:27.11\00:51:30.82
When the waves are
crashing 'round you
00:51:30.83\00:51:33.81
When the fiery
darts surround you
00:51:34.20\00:51:37.14
When despair is all you see
00:51:37.63\00:51:40.89
God wants to hear your voice
00:51:40.90\00:51:44.47
When the wisest man has spoken
00:51:44.48\00:51:47.68
And says, "Your circumstance is
00:51:47.69\00:51:49.96
as hopeless as can be"
00:51:49.97\00:51:54.21
That's when God
wants to hear you sing
00:51:54.65\00:52:00.92
He loves to hear our
praise on our cheerful days
00:52:09.43\00:52:16.42
When the pleasant times
outweigh the bad, by far
00:52:16.43\00:52:22.05
But when suffering comes along
00:52:22.97\00:52:27.84
But we still sing Him songs
00:52:27.85\00:52:31.80
That is when we
bless the Father's heart.
00:52:32.10\00:52:39.42
God wants to hear you sing
00:52:39.43\00:52:42.85
When the waves are
crashing 'round you
00:52:42.86\00:52:45.87
When the fiery
darts surround you
00:52:46.25\00:52:49.26
When despair is all you see
00:52:49.87\00:52:52.32
God wants to hear your voice
00:52:53.01\00:52:56.33
When the wisest man has spoken
00:52:56.70\00:52:59.60
And says, "Your circumstance is
00:52:59.61\00:53:01.95
as hopeless as can be"
00:53:01.96\00:53:06.05
That's when God
wants to hear you sing
00:53:06.62\00:53:12.77
God wants to hear you sing
00:53:13.96\00:53:17.29
When the waves are
crashing 'round you
00:53:17.30\00:53:20.28
When the fiery
darts surround you
00:53:20.29\00:53:23.72
When despair is all you see
00:53:24.06\00:53:27.86
God wants to hear your voice
00:53:27.87\00:53:30.91
When the wisest man has spoken
00:53:30.92\00:53:34.20
And says, "Your circumstance is
00:53:34.21\00:53:36.40
as hopeless as can be"
00:53:36.41\00:53:40.41
That's when God
wants to hear you sing
00:53:40.84\00:53:47.53
That's when God wants
to hear you sing, you sing
00:53:47.54\00:54:10.12
I invite you to
stand for prayer.
00:54:18.25\00:54:20.26
Our Father you are
truly an awesome God.
00:54:23.20\00:54:28.68
