And we're back.
00:00:14.24\00:00:15.58
And we're talking about
NY13 or this monumental project
00:00:15.61\00:00:19.55
that's going to focus
on the metro New York area
00:00:19.58\00:00:22.32
in 2013.
00:00:22.35\00:00:24.45
Now, here's
something I bet you didn't know
00:00:24.49\00:00:25.95
about New York City.
00:00:25.99\00:00:27.36
Did you realize
that Washington DC
00:00:27.39\00:00:29.39
was not actually the
first capital of America?
00:00:29.42\00:00:32.09
No, it was in 1789
00:00:32.13\00:00:34.30
that George Washington
took his oath as president
00:00:34.33\00:00:37.33
on the balcony at
Federal Hall in New York City.
00:00:37.37\00:00:40.67
So it was the place,
00:00:40.70\00:00:42.04
a place where
America got a real start,
00:00:42.07\00:00:44.31
and we're praying,
00:00:44.34\00:00:45.67
it'll be a place where
the wrap up of the work
00:00:45.71\00:00:47.71
will get a real
impetus and a real start.
00:00:47.74\00:00:50.25
Now I'm back with a panel,
00:00:50.28\00:00:52.21
and you'll notice that my
panel has shifted somewhat.
00:00:52.25\00:00:55.52
While Christine was singing,
we changed some seats around,
00:00:55.55\00:00:58.29
and now I have a very
esteemed panel of conference
00:00:58.32\00:01:01.09
and union presidents with me.
00:01:01.12\00:01:03.12
I've got Frank Tochterman
00:01:03.16\00:01:04.49
from the Southern
New England Conference.
00:01:04.53\00:01:07.06
I'm going to get these wrong.
00:01:07.10\00:01:08.43
You know I'm
going to get them wrong
00:01:08.46\00:01:09.80
because I'm nervous
about getting them right.
00:01:09.83\00:01:11.63
Trevor Baker from New England.
00:01:11.67\00:01:13.20
Northeastern.
00:01:13.23\00:01:14.57
No, Northeastern,
I knew it was an NE,
00:01:14.60\00:01:15.94
Northeastern.
00:01:15.97\00:01:17.31
Elder Earl G. Knight
from Greater New York,
00:01:17.34\00:01:20.64
and our board
chairman for the project,
00:01:20.68\00:01:22.94
Elder Don King
from the Atlantic Union,
00:01:22.98\00:01:25.15
president of Atlantic Union,
00:01:25.18\00:01:26.51
Elder Jose Cortes from
the New Jersey Conference,
00:01:26.55\00:01:29.02
and Elder Charles
Cheatham from Allegheny East.
00:01:29.05\00:01:32.69
I almost got them right, I
almost did it without a flaw.
00:01:32.72\00:01:36.59
Guys, tell me a little
bit about your territories
00:01:36.62\00:01:39.16
and why you are presiding
00:01:39.19\00:01:42.16
in the best
territory in the United States.
00:01:42.20\00:01:46.33
Southern New England Conference
00:01:46.37\00:01:48.27
is made up of
three small states,
00:01:48.30\00:01:49.77
Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, and Connecticut.
00:01:49.80\00:01:52.24
We have 11 million
people living in that area.
00:01:52.27\00:01:55.34
Wow, 11 million, that's
a third of the population
00:01:55.38\00:01:57.81
in my home country Canada
00:01:57.85\00:01:59.18
living in that
little area, amazing.
00:01:59.21\00:02:00.55
Wow. Yes. Elder Baker?
00:02:00.58\00:02:01.92
Well, the
Northeastern Conference
00:02:01.95\00:02:03.28
shares its territory with
the Greater New York Conference.
00:02:03.32\00:02:05.85
But we expanded to New York,
Connecticut, Massachusetts,
00:02:05.89\00:02:10.73
Rhode Island, New
Hampshire, and even Vermont.
00:02:10.76\00:02:14.90
Wow, I get lost
00:02:14.93\00:02:16.26
to try to look
around in the territory?
00:02:16.30\00:02:18.17
But the southern
part of Connecticut
00:02:18.20\00:02:21.94
along with the
New York territory,
00:02:21.97\00:02:25.01
they'll be the ones
that mostly involved
00:02:25.04\00:02:27.58
in this New York 13 initiative.
00:02:27.61\00:02:29.84
We have a
membership of 50,000 plus.
00:02:29.88\00:02:32.75
Fifty thousand plus.
00:02:32.78\00:02:34.38
Elder Knight?
00:02:34.42\00:02:35.75
I'm privileged
to share territory
00:02:35.78\00:02:37.15
with my good
friend Trevor Baker,
00:02:37.19\00:02:39.85
who is in
Northeastern Conference.
00:02:39.89\00:02:41.96
Greater New York
Conference covers the territory
00:02:41.99\00:02:46.49
mainly in the metropolitan
area of the city of New York.
00:02:46.53\00:02:50.13
We extend to about 100,
120 miles north towards Albany.
00:02:50.17\00:02:56.50
We have 25,000 plus members
that we are currently serving,
00:02:56.54\00:03:01.31
we would like to
add many thousands
00:03:01.34\00:03:04.25
to that next year.
00:03:04.28\00:03:05.78
Let's double it.
00:03:05.81\00:03:07.48
We're excited about the
prospect of New York 13,
00:03:07.52\00:03:10.89
and our people
are getting ready,
00:03:10.92\00:03:12.62
we are geared up
for tremendous success,
00:03:12.65\00:03:15.76
and to see souls
come to know Jesus better.
00:03:15.79\00:03:17.76
Fantastic.
00:03:17.79\00:03:19.19
Elder King, we met
you in our first segment
00:03:19.23\00:03:21.36
in the Atlantic Union,
00:03:21.40\00:03:23.03
just a second or two
about the Atlantic Union?
00:03:23.06\00:03:25.10
Well, the Atlantic Union
00:03:25.13\00:03:26.47
is one of the two
unions involved with NY13.
00:03:26.50\00:03:30.04
We have about
107,000 brothers and sisters,
00:03:30.07\00:03:32.77
believers in that union.
00:03:32.81\00:03:34.21
It covers all the way
from New York to Buffalo
00:03:34.24\00:03:36.68
across to Bermuda,
00:03:36.71\00:03:38.21
and we're just excited
about the wonderful possibility
00:03:38.25\00:03:42.35
of working together in New York.
00:03:42.38\00:03:43.72
You almost make it into Canada.
Almost, right on the border.
00:03:43.75\00:03:47.22
Elder Cortes, New Jersey?
00:03:47.26\00:03:48.96
New Jersey is
this side of the river.
00:03:48.99\00:03:51.56
And we have over 8
million inhabitants,
00:03:51.59\00:03:56.46
very close to New York.
00:03:56.50\00:03:59.10
We belong to the Columbia Union.
00:03:59.13\00:04:01.60
We already passed
the 14,000 members
00:04:01.64\00:04:03.74
going to 15,000,
00:04:03.77\00:04:05.34
and we are ready for the mission
00:04:05.37\00:04:07.68
together with our work,
00:04:07.71\00:04:09.04
Seattle Conference, Allegany.
00:04:09.08\00:04:10.71
Elder Cheatham?
00:04:10.75\00:04:12.11
We cover the vast
area in the Northeast.
00:04:12.15\00:04:15.98
Most of the cities that we cover
00:04:16.02\00:04:18.69
are in the states of
New Jersey, of course,
00:04:18.72\00:04:22.26
but also in
Pennsylvania, in Maryland,
00:04:22.29\00:04:25.33
and Virginia, West
Virginia, and Delaware.
00:04:25.36\00:04:27.90
So we have a large area,
00:04:27.93\00:04:29.36
but our target populations
00:04:29.40\00:04:31.37
are primarily in the heart
of the urban and inner city,
00:04:31.40\00:04:34.54
the hardcore urban
inner city structure.
00:04:34.57\00:04:38.61
And we are happy to
have a number of churches
00:04:38.64\00:04:43.18
on the western side
of the Hudson River.
00:04:43.21\00:04:47.48
And that's our targeted area
00:04:47.52\00:04:49.02
for this
campaign of New York 13.
00:04:49.05\00:04:52.39
Great stuff.
00:04:52.42\00:04:53.76
Now we've got a lot of territory
00:04:53.79\00:04:55.12
and only a few minutes,
00:04:55.16\00:04:56.49
but if you guys
could tell me a little bit
00:04:56.52\00:04:59.03
about what's
going on in the field,
00:04:59.06\00:05:00.70
how are we getting
ready for this big initiative?
00:05:00.73\00:05:02.50
How are we working together?
00:05:02.53\00:05:03.87
What are some of
the things going on
00:05:03.90\00:05:05.33
in your neck of the woods?
00:05:05.37\00:05:06.70
I know that we won't be
able to do any of them justice
00:05:06.74\00:05:08.97
because we have
only seconds for each,
00:05:09.00\00:05:10.71
but what's going on in the field
00:05:10.74\00:05:12.67
to get ready for
this big initiative?
00:05:12.71\00:05:15.41
Well, in Northeastern,
00:05:15.44\00:05:16.78
we're trying to
spread the word first of all,
00:05:16.81\00:05:19.48
and then trying
to get the members
00:05:19.51\00:05:22.28
and the pastors trained.
00:05:22.32\00:05:24.42
One of the
mediums that we are using
00:05:24.45\00:05:27.56
is through our
health ministries,
00:05:27.59\00:05:29.06
a lot of missionary
training, medical missionaries,
00:05:29.09\00:05:32.29
Bible's instructors,
00:05:32.33\00:05:34.73
those are two of the initiatives
00:05:34.76\00:05:37.43
that we are
starting to work with,
00:05:37.47\00:05:39.50
train individuals so
that they can get out.
00:05:39.53\00:05:42.60
So a lot of emphasis
00:05:42.64\00:05:44.04
on getting the
members into the streets,
00:05:44.07\00:05:45.74
and they're the
ones being ministers.
00:05:45.77\00:05:47.44
Right.
00:05:47.48\00:05:48.81
We believe that
00:05:48.84\00:05:50.85
until you
mobilize the lay members,
00:05:50.88\00:05:53.75
you're not going to be
able to accomplish the task,
00:05:53.78\00:05:56.22
and that's what we're doing.
00:05:56.25\00:05:57.95
We are currently
training lay Bible workers.
00:05:57.99\00:06:01.89
We have been
training our pastors.
00:06:01.92\00:06:04.73
We are engaged
with prayer ministries.
00:06:04.76\00:06:07.60
In fact, we in
Greater New York Conference
00:06:07.63\00:06:10.13
intend to have
3000 prayer warriors
00:06:10.17\00:06:13.13
for this project.
00:06:13.17\00:06:16.30
We are working on the
medical aspect as well.
00:06:16.34\00:06:19.84
We have people
who are working there.
00:06:19.87\00:06:23.35
We have what?
00:06:23.38\00:06:24.71
Department leaders,
00:06:24.75\00:06:26.08
who are already engaged
00:06:26.11\00:06:27.68
in preparing
the various segments
00:06:27.72\00:06:30.79
of the conference.
00:06:30.82\00:06:33.12
We are currently
also getting ready
00:06:33.15\00:06:36.42
with The Great Hope book,
00:06:36.46\00:06:40.26
we are intended to scatter
them like the leaves of autumn.
00:06:40.30\00:06:44.37
Now The Great Hope is
the condensed version,
00:06:44.40\00:06:46.47
it's the abridged version for...
00:06:46.50\00:06:48.00
A sharing version really
of The Great Controversy.
00:06:48.04\00:06:49.64
Yes, yes.
00:06:49.67\00:06:51.01
And we are very enthusiastic
00:06:51.04\00:06:54.21
about the prospect of
sharing several thousand.
00:06:54.24\00:06:59.28
In fact, this New York 13
00:06:59.31\00:07:02.02
is not only considering
2 million or 3 million,
00:07:02.05\00:07:05.22
we are hoping that
we could do even 4,
00:07:05.25\00:07:07.29
5 million, maybe 20 million.
00:07:07.32\00:07:08.66
Unbelievable.
00:07:08.69\00:07:10.03
And so we're excited about that
in Greater New York Conference
00:07:10.06\00:07:12.96
along with my
sister conferences,
00:07:12.99\00:07:15.10
we want to make
this a tremendous success
00:07:15.13\00:07:18.13
for the advancement
of the kingdom of God.
00:07:18.17\00:07:20.50
Elder King, tell
me a little bit more
00:07:20.54\00:07:22.00
about this Great Hope Project?
00:07:22.04\00:07:23.91
Yes, Great Hope, as
you mentioned earlier,
00:07:23.94\00:07:26.24
is a condensed version,
00:07:26.27\00:07:27.71
a distribution version
of The Great Controversy.
00:07:27.74\00:07:31.88
And our hope and
vision is to distribute
00:07:31.91\00:07:36.28
two to three million
copies of these books,
00:07:36.32\00:07:38.79
which is sort of like one
tenth of the entire population
00:07:38.82\00:07:41.26
of New York City.
00:07:41.29\00:07:42.62
And we're excited about it.
00:07:42.66\00:07:44.46
And we are depending
on our church members,
00:07:44.49\00:07:47.76
and to really be able
to purchase these books,
00:07:47.80\00:07:51.87
boxes up them so that
they can be made available.
00:07:51.90\00:07:54.97
There are other
parts of the world
00:07:55.00\00:07:57.64
where this has been done,
00:07:57.67\00:07:59.01
and we hope to do the same thing
00:07:59.04\00:08:00.38
in New York City.
00:08:00.41\00:08:01.74
I'm a member in
one of your churches,
00:08:01.78\00:08:03.11
how many copies,
how much would you hope
00:08:03.14\00:08:04.75
that I would support
The Great Hope Project.
00:08:04.78\00:08:06.31
What would you
recommend to my family and I,
00:08:06.35\00:08:08.15
perhaps as
something that we could do
00:08:08.18\00:08:10.65
to participate in that?
00:08:10.69\00:08:12.02
I think if you could purchase
a few hundred of these books,
00:08:12.05\00:08:16.46
you know, I'd like
to recommend thousands,
00:08:16.49\00:08:18.09
you know, especially for you.
00:08:18.13\00:08:21.16
Wait, because we're
all... They are only 39 cents.
00:08:21.20\00:08:23.20
Elder Earl, but
they are 39 cents.
00:08:23.23\00:08:25.30
So it's not
unrealistic for a family
00:08:25.33\00:08:27.70
to pray about 1000 copies.
00:08:27.74\00:08:29.07
Absolutely.
00:08:29.10\00:08:30.44
I mean, it's still
a fair sum of money
00:08:30.47\00:08:31.81
for some families,
00:08:31.84\00:08:33.17
but we're stepping out in faith,
00:08:33.21\00:08:34.54
and this is about
00:08:34.58\00:08:35.91
making
something happen by faith.
00:08:35.94\00:08:37.41
So really, for a
family like mine,
00:08:37.45\00:08:38.95
1000 copies wouldn't be
00:08:38.98\00:08:40.32
out of the realm of possibility.
00:08:40.35\00:08:41.68
I think it's a doable.
00:08:41.72\00:08:43.05
Fantastic.
00:08:43.08\00:08:44.42
Elder Cortes, tell me about
what is going on in New Jersey
00:08:44.45\00:08:46.89
and what you guys are
doing to prepare the soil?
00:08:46.92\00:08:48.69
Oh, New Jersey is very excited.
00:08:48.72\00:08:50.73
As you normally, yours
is a bit of evangelism.
00:08:50.76\00:08:53.36
They have bit of evangelism
00:08:53.40\00:08:54.73
and the home of
the small groups.
00:08:54.76\00:08:56.97
And we are
working in that direction.
00:08:57.00\00:08:59.43
We selected 80 cities
00:08:59.47\00:09:01.77
where we have not the presence
00:09:01.80\00:09:04.21
of the
Seventh-day Adventist Church,
00:09:04.24\00:09:06.21
and we are starting
with 12 committed Christians
00:09:06.24\00:09:10.35
beginning the mission
in that particular city
00:09:10.38\00:09:12.75
and two universities,
00:09:12.78\00:09:14.25
Rutgers University
and Princeton University.
00:09:14.28\00:09:16.89
And this group begin to
get together with people,
00:09:16.92\00:09:20.46
and begin Bible stories,
00:09:20.49\00:09:21.92
sing a small group
style as Jesus did it.
00:09:21.96\00:09:24.43
And then we already
enlightened these cities
00:09:24.46\00:09:28.10
with the Gospel of Jesus.
00:09:28.13\00:09:29.73
And the plan is to
have 80 new churches
00:09:29.76\00:09:33.87
in these 80 cities
where we had not previously.
00:09:33.90\00:09:37.21
So you're dreaming
of 80 new churches.
00:09:37.24\00:09:38.97
I think that's a kind of dream
00:09:39.01\00:09:40.84
that makes God
smile about the project.
00:09:40.88\00:09:42.84
And the idea is
not take 40, 50 member
00:09:42.88\00:09:47.98
for a particular church
00:09:48.02\00:09:49.48
and bring them to another city
00:09:49.52\00:09:50.99
because this is
not church planting,
00:09:51.02\00:09:52.75
this is
transplanting the church.
00:09:52.79\00:09:54.92
And what we are planning
to do is church planting,
00:09:54.96\00:09:57.66
12 people to begin
to have a critical mass,
00:09:57.69\00:10:00.56
and then
organize them in a company
00:10:00.60\00:10:02.96
and then in a church.
00:10:03.00\00:10:04.33
So the dream
really is new churches?
00:10:04.37\00:10:05.70
New churches with new people.
00:10:05.73\00:10:07.30
We have 100 million
people in this country,
00:10:07.34\00:10:11.21
unchurched people,
00:10:11.24\00:10:12.57
people who know
nothing about church,
00:10:12.61\00:10:14.01
they don't go to churches.
00:10:14.04\00:10:15.38
So we don't need to be
picking members of the church.
00:10:15.41\00:10:18.01
We need to bring new
people to our community.
00:10:18.05\00:10:21.22
Fantastic.
00:10:21.25\00:10:22.58
Elder Cheatham, tell
me about what's going on
00:10:22.62\00:10:23.95
in your neck of the woods?
00:10:23.99\00:10:25.32
Well, again, in
the northern part
00:10:25.35\00:10:26.69
of the New Jersey,
00:10:26.72\00:10:28.66
we are concentrating primarily
00:10:28.69\00:10:30.93
in the area of
modeling the ministry of Jesus.
00:10:30.96\00:10:35.40
We're told that
Jesus, He mingled,
00:10:35.43\00:10:39.27
He built relationships
00:10:39.30\00:10:41.67
regardless of what
culture or whatever,
00:10:41.70\00:10:43.81
He reached out to Samaritans,
Jews, everyone, poor, rich,
00:10:43.84\00:10:49.68
and that were, those
were the what methods
00:10:49.71\00:10:51.61
that Jesus used.
00:10:51.65\00:10:53.82
In the heart of the urban area
00:10:53.85\00:10:55.18
that have lot of hurting people.
00:10:55.22\00:10:57.29
Rather than just,
00:10:57.32\00:10:58.65
we will be a part of
spreading the message
00:10:58.69\00:11:02.02
through the book,
00:11:02.06\00:11:03.39
but we're training our
pastors and our members
00:11:03.43\00:11:05.76
to get out in the streets,
00:11:05.79\00:11:07.76
go up and down
the neighborhoods,
00:11:07.80\00:11:09.66
knock on doors,
00:11:09.70\00:11:12.03
find out what the
needs of that community are,
00:11:12.07\00:11:14.54
and meet their physical
00:11:14.57\00:11:16.30
as well as
their spiritual needs,
00:11:16.34\00:11:18.34
and win them to Jesus Christ.
00:11:18.37\00:11:20.21
So a real
community based approach?
00:11:20.24\00:11:21.58
Right.
00:11:21.61\00:11:22.94
Elder Tochterman, tell
me a little bit about your?
00:11:22.98\00:11:24.31
Yes, Shawn, in the Southwestern
part of the Connecticut,
00:11:24.35\00:11:26.28
there are three
counties, the Fairfield County,
00:11:26.31\00:11:30.19
the Litchfield County,
and the New Haven County.
00:11:30.22\00:11:33.39
In those three counties
are 20, rather two million,
00:11:33.42\00:11:39.66
two and a half
million people, you know,
00:11:39.69\00:11:42.06
and they are the
counties closest to New York.
00:11:42.10\00:11:45.27
And in those
counties, we have 11 churches,
00:11:45.30\00:11:47.50
they're growing churches,
00:11:47.54\00:11:49.20
but they're looking
forward to growing more
00:11:49.24\00:11:51.04
as they become a part of NY 13.
00:11:51.07\00:11:54.44
Well, now, recently,
00:11:54.48\00:11:56.24
we started talking
to pastors and so on,
00:11:56.28\00:11:58.18
pastors are looking
at this, I mean that...
00:11:58.21\00:11:59.75
You guys are
representing groups of workers,
00:11:59.78\00:12:02.48
how can pastors
become involved in this?
00:12:02.52\00:12:04.32
What role should they be playing
00:12:04.35\00:12:05.75
as we reach out into all
these metropolitan areas?
00:12:05.79\00:12:09.19
Training the
members of the church
00:12:09.22\00:12:11.26
how to do that type of ministry,
00:12:11.29\00:12:13.76
that's what I want my pastors.
00:12:13.80\00:12:15.43
So really a model
00:12:15.46\00:12:16.80
where pastors
aren't doing the work
00:12:16.83\00:12:18.27
and the members are watching
00:12:18.30\00:12:19.63
and an entertainment
based kind of a model.
00:12:19.67\00:12:22.30
Pastors serve as
mentors and coaches.
00:12:22.34\00:12:23.91
And so if members
would like to participate,
00:12:23.94\00:12:26.71
the best thing to do,
00:12:26.74\00:12:28.08
it's coming to
the pastor and say,
00:12:28.11\00:12:29.84
"What can I do? And
how can I get started?"
00:12:29.88\00:12:33.28
Am I hearing right?
00:12:33.31\00:12:34.65
Pastors are the gatekeepers.
00:12:34.68\00:12:36.42
They are in
charge of the church.
00:12:36.45\00:12:38.69
And their mission is to be
the trainers of the trainers.
00:12:38.72\00:12:41.86
If we are going to grow,
we need people to be trained
00:12:41.89\00:12:44.23
to do the mission of
the church in the right way.
00:12:44.26\00:12:47.16
I should also say,
Shawn, that pastors,
00:12:47.20\00:12:49.13
the pastors will
be constantly updated
00:12:49.16\00:12:51.73
with information about NY13.
00:12:51.77\00:12:53.94
Okay, and how does that happen?
00:12:53.97\00:12:55.30
Well, we're going
to have newsletters
00:12:55.34\00:12:57.37
through our website, NY13.org.
00:12:57.41\00:13:00.18
In fact, anyone
can go on NY13.org
00:13:00.21\00:13:03.08
and find out information
about what's happening,
00:13:03.11\00:13:05.41
what is taking place,
what is going to take place
00:13:05.45\00:13:07.55
and so forth,
00:13:07.58\00:13:08.92
all the
announcements will be there.
00:13:08.95\00:13:10.29
So newsletters, the
website, you know, the internet,
00:13:10.32\00:13:13.36
you know, all
these various medium
00:13:13.39\00:13:16.62
we'll be able to get
this information out.
00:13:16.66\00:13:18.83
What about Facebook?
I'm a real Facebook guy.
00:13:18.86\00:13:20.90
Yes, absolutely.
00:13:20.93\00:13:22.26
It will be on
Facebook, Twitter, yeah?
00:13:22.30\00:13:23.77
Are you on Twitter as
well? I tweet on Twitter.
00:13:23.80\00:13:26.00
Oh, you do. Okay, good, good.
00:13:26.03\00:13:27.67
Yeah, you know what? I
do it too much actually.
00:13:27.70\00:13:29.47
I'm up in the two in
the morning tweeting away.
00:13:29.50\00:13:31.64
It's good thing
that wasn't around
00:13:31.67\00:13:33.01
when I was in college.
00:13:33.04\00:13:34.38
We want to use
every possible way
00:13:34.41\00:13:35.84
of getting this
word out to our members,
00:13:35.88\00:13:38.05
so that they can be a
part of this great initiative.
00:13:38.08\00:13:39.95
So it's a really
broad based communication.
00:13:39.98\00:13:41.65
Very broad based. Broad
based training approach.
00:13:41.68\00:13:44.12
I'm a member in
one of your churches
00:13:44.15\00:13:46.25
in your district.
00:13:46.29\00:13:47.62
I want to do something, I mean,
I'm hearing this New York, wow,
00:13:47.66\00:13:50.63
we're going to touch
the world through New York.
00:13:50.66\00:13:53.26
I mean, the world
is come to New York,
00:13:53.29\00:13:54.63
it's a wonderful
place to kick off,
00:13:54.66\00:13:56.13
it's a very visionary project
00:13:56.16\00:13:57.70
that's going to trickle
back to the rest of the world
00:13:57.73\00:13:59.60
we are praying.
00:13:59.63\00:14:00.97
And yet, what can I do?
00:14:01.00\00:14:02.34
I'm sitting in
the pew in church,
00:14:02.37\00:14:03.71
and I'm hearing about
this, and I'm really excited,
00:14:03.74\00:14:05.34
what do I do?
00:14:05.37\00:14:06.71
I mean I want
to be in. Yes, yes.
00:14:06.74\00:14:08.68
Actually, Shawn, this year 2012,
00:14:08.71\00:14:10.61
we're planning and
we're already having
00:14:10.65\00:14:12.95
a number of training programs,
00:14:12.98\00:14:15.25
there are youth programs,
youth ministry programs,
00:14:15.28\00:14:17.65
there's Bible work ministry,
00:14:17.69\00:14:20.32
you know, learningh ow
to become a Bible worker,
00:14:20.36\00:14:22.66
you know, to visit homes
00:14:22.69\00:14:24.03
and study with people
that you can become involved.
00:14:24.06\00:14:26.76
There's also the
language ministries
00:14:26.80\00:14:28.70
that are, you know,
through the Hispanic,
00:14:28.73\00:14:30.40
you know, Spanish
language, French language
00:14:30.43\00:14:32.43
and many other
languages as well.
00:14:32.47\00:14:34.60
And there's just a
plethora of training programs
00:14:34.64\00:14:40.14
that are happening.
00:14:40.18\00:14:41.61
If our church members
00:14:41.64\00:14:43.08
simply go to
their pastor and say,
00:14:43.11\00:14:45.58
"I want to be involved."
00:14:45.61\00:14:47.62
Their pastor will
be able to help them
00:14:47.65\00:14:49.45
and tell them how
they can become involved.
00:14:49.48\00:14:52.09
It's an exciting opportunity.
00:14:52.12\00:14:53.46
Okay, fantastic, guys.
00:14:53.49\00:14:55.26
We're going to
take a short break.
00:14:55.29\00:14:56.62
We're gonna come back
00:14:56.66\00:14:57.99
and pick it up
where you left off.
00:14:58.03\00:14:59.36
But what we're going
to do in the meantime
00:14:59.39\00:15:00.73
is listen to
Christine sing again
00:15:00.76\00:15:02.50
about reaching
people for Jesus Christ,
00:15:02.53\00:15:04.37
and how important that job is
00:15:04.40\00:15:08.00
in the work that
Christ has given the church.
00:15:08.04\00:15:10.71
So let's listen to
Christine, I'll be right back.
00:15:10.74\00:15:12.27
If the ship of your life
00:15:28.12\00:15:31.73
Is tossing on the sea of strife
00:15:31.76\00:15:36.46
You need someone
00:15:36.50\00:15:42.84
If you feel so all alone
00:15:42.87\00:15:46.47
And your house is not a home
00:15:46.51\00:15:50.81
You need someone.
00:15:50.85\00:15:57.35
If life seems so unfair
00:15:57.39\00:16:01.02
And there's no one left to share
00:16:01.06\00:16:03.73
All those lonely days and nights
00:16:03.76\00:16:08.10
When things just
don't turn out right
00:16:08.13\00:16:11.77
And you want someone to care
00:16:11.80\00:16:15.50
And someone to just be there
00:16:15.54\00:16:20.08
You need someone
00:16:20.11\00:16:24.65
I give you Jesus
00:16:24.68\00:16:29.22
He's the peace that
passes all understanding
00:16:29.25\00:16:34.72
I give you Jesus
00:16:39.26\00:16:43.80
He's the perfect love
that casteth out all fear
00:16:43.83\00:16:50.21
I give you Jesus
00:16:53.64\00:16:58.15
He's the water that you drink
00:16:58.18\00:17:01.98
And never thirst again
00:17:02.02\00:17:08.96
I give you Jesus,
00:17:08.99\00:17:12.73
My friend
00:17:12.76\00:17:16.43
I give you Jesus
00:17:16.46\00:17:20.34
If the pressures all around
00:17:24.57\00:17:28.04
Keep your spirits to the ground
00:17:28.08\00:17:31.78
Then you need someone
00:17:31.81\00:17:35.55
If your body is in pain
00:17:38.99\00:17:42.66
And your health you can't regain
00:17:42.69\00:17:46.39
You need someone
00:17:46.43\00:17:53.37
If the times that you have tried
00:17:53.40\00:17:57.01
With all the
strength you had inside
00:17:57.04\00:17:59.94
And it seems
that you have failed
00:17:59.97\00:18:03.51
Remember on the cross He nailed
00:18:03.55\00:18:07.78
All the bitterness and grief
00:18:07.82\00:18:10.62
To give you
peace and sweet relief
00:18:10.65\00:18:14.66
He is that someone
00:18:14.69\00:18:17.93
That someone you need
00:18:17.96\00:18:21.43
I give you Jesus
00:18:21.46\00:18:25.20
He's the peace that
passes all understanding
00:18:25.23\00:18:30.67
I give you Jesus
00:18:35.24\00:18:39.78
He's the perfect love
00:18:39.81\00:18:41.78
That casteth out all fear
00:18:41.82\00:18:46.82
I give you Jesus
00:18:49.86\00:18:54.20
He's the water that you drink
00:18:54.23\00:18:58.00
And never, never thirst again
00:18:58.03\00:19:04.27
I give you Jesus,
