I want to spend my life
00:00:01.06\00:00:07.35
Mending broken people
00:00:07.38\00:00:12.09
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.12\00:00:18.26
Removing pain
00:00:18.29\00:00:23.43
Lord, let my words
00:00:23.46\00:00:29.76
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:29.79\00:00:34.19
I want to spend my life
00:00:34.22\00:00:40.06
Mending broken people
00:00:40.09\00:00:45.35
I want to spend my life
00:00:45.38\00:00:50.77
Mending broken people
00:00:50.80\00:00:54.29
Well, we want to
welcome you to 3ABN today.
00:01:07.71\00:01:12.63
And we're glad
that you have tuned in
00:01:12.66\00:01:14.88
and joining us for
this particular program.
00:01:14.91\00:01:18.70
I am Brian Hamilton.
00:01:18.73\00:01:20.63
I oversee the finances for 3ABN.
00:01:20.66\00:01:24.57
Some people call me
the chief financial officer
00:01:24.60\00:01:27.02
but I don't like that title.
00:01:27.05\00:01:30.17
I think Jesus is our
chief financial officer
00:01:30.20\00:01:34.18
and I'm just an
under steward of the means
00:01:34.21\00:01:39.20
that you have invested in
3ABN to further the ministry.
00:01:39.23\00:01:43.69
I have beside me
my lovely life Diane.
00:01:43.72\00:01:47.24
And this is our first time
doing this together, isn't it?
00:01:47.27\00:01:51.01
Yes it is. Are you nervous?
00:01:51.04\00:01:54.40
Yeah. Yeah, me too.
00:01:54.43\00:01:55.94
But you know, we have a
lot of friends out there.
00:01:55.97\00:01:58.79
And so we're just
gonna have to pretend
00:01:58.82\00:02:00.62
that you're all
in our living room
00:02:00.65\00:02:02.24
and we're just having a
good time together, okay?
00:02:02.27\00:02:05.30
3ABN today hasn't
always been called that,
00:02:05.33\00:02:09.02
we have just launched,
00:02:09.05\00:02:12.13
recently celebration
of 30 years of ministry.
00:02:12.16\00:02:17.86
And when 3ABN today
was originally launched
00:02:17.89\00:02:21.82
this program it was
called 3ABN Presents.
00:02:21.85\00:02:26.10
But somewhere along that journey
00:02:26.13\00:02:28.92
the name got
changed to 3ABN today.
00:02:28.95\00:02:33.40
And so this is a program,
00:02:33.43\00:02:36.06
if this is maybe the
first time you've tuned in
00:02:36.09\00:02:39.36
to our particular
network or this program
00:02:39.39\00:02:42.16
where we do interviews.
00:02:42.19\00:02:44.52
We interview
people who are involved
00:02:44.55\00:02:47.78
in different kinds of ministry
00:02:47.81\00:02:50.39
and the idea is that
you'll be inspired by
00:02:50.42\00:02:53.38
what God is doing
through that ministry
00:02:53.41\00:02:55.92
and maybe would want
to do something similar.
00:02:55.95\00:02:58.87
We introduce-- we
interview individuals
00:02:58.90\00:03:03.03
and they share
their journey with God
00:03:03.06\00:03:06.25
and how they have been
impacted on life events.
00:03:06.28\00:03:11.79
And so as you
hear their testimony
00:03:11.82\00:03:14.95
it will edify and an encouraged.
00:03:14.98\00:03:17.21
And today's program
will be no different.
00:03:17.24\00:03:21.31
This is going to be a
very interesting program
00:03:21.34\00:03:24.31
you want to stay tuned,
00:03:24.34\00:03:25.48
maybe even get a
notebook to take a few notes
00:03:25.51\00:03:28.86
on what you're going to
learn today on 3ABN today.
00:03:28.89\00:03:33.62
Diane, we have
some music, don't we?
00:03:33.65\00:03:35.53
Yes, we do.
00:03:35.56\00:03:36.59
Darrell Marshall will be singing
00:03:36.62\00:03:39.63
"In the Sweet By and By."
00:03:39.66\00:03:41.61
There's a land
that is fairer than day
00:03:47.42\00:03:51.80
And by faith we can see it afar
00:03:51.83\00:03:56.70
For the Father
waits over the way
00:03:56.73\00:04:01.26
To prepare us a
dwelling place there
00:04:01.29\00:04:06.06
In the sweet by and by
00:04:06.09\00:04:10.71
We shall meet on
that beautiful shore
00:04:10.74\00:04:15.44
In the sweet by and by
00:04:15.47\00:04:20.08
We shall meet on
that beautiful shore
00:04:20.11\00:04:24.19
We shall sing on

00:04:29.36\00:04:34.03
The melodious
songs of the blessed
00:04:34.06\00:04:38.51
And our spirits
shall sorrow no more
00:04:38.54\00:04:43.32
Not a sigh for
the blessing of rest
00:04:43.35\00:04:47.99
In the sweet by and by
00:04:48.02\00:04:52.70
We shall meet on
that beautiful shore
00:04:52.73\00:04:57.32
In the sweet by and by
00:04:57.35\00:05:01.91
We shall meet on
that beautiful shore
00:05:01.94\00:05:06.03
To our bountiful Father above
00:05:15.96\00:05:20.52
We will offer
the tribute of praise
00:05:20.55\00:05:25.35
For the
glorious gift of His love
00:05:25.38\00:05:29.88
And the blessings
that hallow our days
00:05:29.91\00:05:34.60
In the sweet by and by
00:05:34.63\00:05:39.31
We shall meet on
that beautiful shore
00:05:39.34\00:05:43.98
In the sweet by and by
00:05:44.01\00:05:48.53
We shall meet on
that beautiful shore
00:05:48.56\00:05:53.17
In the sweet by and by
00:05:53.20\00:05:57.93
We shall meet on
that beautiful shore
00:05:57.96\00:06:02.62
In the sweet by and by
00:06:02.65\00:06:07.15
We shall meet on
that beautiful shore
00:06:07.18\00:06:11.82
We shall meet on
that beautiful shore
00:06:11.85\00:06:17.22
Well, we want to
thank Darrell Marshall.
00:06:24.22\00:06:27.09
We always are blessed by him
00:06:27.12\00:06:28.81
as he comes to
3ABN from time to time
00:06:28.84\00:06:31.08
and shares wonderful talent
00:06:31.11\00:06:33.07
the Lord has given him and music
00:06:33.10\00:06:35.86
and that's a real
blessing, isn't it?
00:06:35.89\00:06:38.57
Yes, it is.
00:06:38.60\00:06:40.21
Well, we have a
guest with us today
00:06:40.24\00:06:42.63
that we want to
introduce you to,
00:06:42.66\00:06:45.24
her name is Lizzie.
00:06:45.27\00:06:46.50
And, Lizzie, we are glad
that you are here with us.
00:06:46.53\00:06:48.62
Amen. Share your
last name with us.
00:06:48.65\00:06:51.36
It's Chambwa. Chambwa.
00:06:51.39\00:06:53.32
Yes, it's the African last name.
00:06:53.35\00:06:55.06
Okay. Yes.
00:06:55.09\00:06:56.33
It sounds, it
sounds interesting.
00:06:56.36\00:06:58.56
Doesn't have any meaning to it?
00:06:58.59\00:07:00.06
Yes, it actually means,
00:07:00.09\00:07:01.27
well, my husband's
name is Lushomo Chambwa.
00:07:01.30\00:07:03.57
Lushomo.
00:07:03.60\00:07:04.63
And Lushomo
means faith in Africa.
00:07:04.66\00:07:06.39
Okay.
00:07:06.42\00:07:07.45
And so Chambwa is
the family's last name
00:07:07.48\00:07:10.05
and I'm honored to be
able be a part of the family.
00:07:10.08\00:07:14.00
And so sometimes last name
is very difficult to pronounce,
00:07:14.03\00:07:18.05
so I just tell
people hey call me LC.
00:07:18.08\00:07:20.63
Okay. Yes.
00:07:20.66\00:07:22.93
Well, we're gonna
address you as Lizzie
00:07:22.96\00:07:25.19
but I practiced Chambwa.
00:07:25.22\00:07:28.77
Yes, excellent.
00:07:28.80\00:07:29.83
Before hand to see
if my tongue would--
00:07:29.86\00:07:31.50
you know, do the
things it needs to do.
00:07:31.53\00:07:33.04
Amen.
00:07:33.07\00:07:34.10
To say that but and now, Lizzie,
00:07:34.13\00:07:37.20
I know, you're
involved with church plant
00:07:37.23\00:07:38.90
and then that's
where we're gonna go to.
00:07:38.93\00:07:40.95
Okay.
00:07:40.98\00:07:42.02
But before we do that
00:07:42.05\00:07:43.89
tell us a little about yourself.
00:07:43.92\00:07:45.72
Have you always
been an Adventist,
00:07:45.75\00:07:47.81
Seventh-day Adventist, is
this a new journey for you,
00:07:47.84\00:07:50.90
when did that happen?
00:07:50.93\00:07:52.74
Give us a little
background of yourself.
00:07:52.77\00:07:54.32
Well, it's a new journey for me.
00:07:54.35\00:07:56.42
I'm excited about the journeys,
life changing experience.
00:07:56.45\00:07:59.59
Okay.
00:07:59.62\00:08:00.67
I would not give-- give it up
00:08:00.70\00:08:02.68
for anything in the world.
00:08:02.71\00:08:04.60
I was raised in
the Baptist church.
00:08:04.63\00:08:07.31
I was out of church
for quite a few years.
00:08:07.34\00:08:10.31
I think I went
back to the church
00:08:10.34\00:08:11.43
when I was 33 years old
00:08:11.46\00:08:13.97
and I want to get to know
the Lord a lot more better.
00:08:14.00\00:08:20.32
And so one day I got a
flyer in the mail said,
00:08:20.35\00:08:23.42
the good news is
better than you think.
00:08:23.45\00:08:25.63
And at that age you
think that you heard
00:08:25.66\00:08:27.28
all the good news
or as to hear, right?
00:08:27.31\00:08:29.39
And so I decided to go
00:08:29.42\00:08:30.80
to the
seminars, awesome seminar.
00:08:30.83\00:08:33.74
It was a six week
Revelation seminar,
00:08:33.77\00:08:35.64
it was taking place in St. Louis
00:08:35.67\00:08:37.84
and Forest Park
at the Art Museum.
00:08:37.87\00:08:40.16
It was six weeks, I
went every singe night,
00:08:40.19\00:08:43.39
except for night.
00:08:43.42\00:08:44.61
And I have never heard
00:08:44.64\00:08:45.75
the gospel preach like
that before in my life.
00:08:45.78\00:08:47.82
Now I was still
attending the Baptist church
00:08:47.85\00:08:49.88
with the same
time I was attending
00:08:49.91\00:08:52.07
this Revelation seminar.
00:08:52.10\00:08:53.76
And all the years
I've been a Baptist
00:08:53.79\00:08:55.98
I have never heard the
gospel preach like that
00:08:56.01\00:08:57.92
before actually
from the Bible itself.
00:08:57.95\00:08:59.49
Yeah.
00:08:59.52\00:09:00.55
And so I knew the Lord
was doing something in my life
00:09:00.58\00:09:03.95
and I had just
rededicating my life to Christ
00:09:03.98\00:09:07.95
through baptism in
the Baptist church.
00:09:07.98\00:09:10.93
I would never forget the date
00:09:10.96\00:09:12.26
it was the August the 31st 2005.
00:09:12.29\00:09:17.22
And three days
later I was baptized again
00:09:17.25\00:09:20.48
in the Adventist church
00:09:20.51\00:09:21.72
and that was
September the 5th 2005.
00:09:21.75\00:09:26.26
And so I've been
Adventist ever since
00:09:26.29\00:09:28.17
and my life has
just been awesome,
00:09:28.20\00:09:30.96
it has been awesome
and I thank God for it.
00:09:30.99\00:09:33.48
That's wonderful.
00:09:33.51\00:09:34.86
Okay, so you are raised Baptist.
00:09:34.89\00:09:37.50
Yes. Maybe
straight a little bit.
00:09:37.53\00:09:39.66
Yes.
00:09:39.69\00:09:40.72
But coming back somehow
God intervened through a flyer.
00:09:40.75\00:09:45.81
Yes.
00:09:45.84\00:09:46.87
And Revelation seminar
and that captivated you.
00:09:46.90\00:09:50.96
Yes, well, actually when I saw
00:09:50.99\00:09:52.56
the flyer in the mail it had
all these creepy little beast
00:09:52.59\00:09:55.62
on the front of
them and I'm like,
00:09:55.65\00:09:57.62
I don't think I
want to go to this church
00:09:57.65\00:09:59.22
you know, who will send to me
00:09:59.25\00:10:00.28
something like this in the mail.
00:10:00.31\00:10:01.98
And so instantly
I wasn't familiar
00:10:02.01\00:10:04.93
with the Holy
Spirit at the time.
00:10:04.96\00:10:06.85
But I knew that the
Lord was speaking to me
00:10:06.88\00:10:08.64
and He says, I thought you said,
00:10:08.67\00:10:09.75
you want to get
to know Me better.
00:10:09.78\00:10:11.38
And I'm like yeah, I do
00:10:11.41\00:10:12.92
but I don't think
this is gonna be good.
00:10:12.95\00:10:15.06
He says, trust Me and I
went and I'm telling you,
00:10:15.09\00:10:18.56
it has changed my life.
00:10:18.59\00:10:20.14
And I'm here today
because of that message.
00:10:20.17\00:10:23.44
Okay, so you became
a Seventh-day Adventist
00:10:23.47\00:10:26.13
and then you
just sort of relaxed
00:10:26.16\00:10:28.07
and just chilled out?
00:10:28.10\00:10:32.19
Oh, no, you don't relax
00:10:32.22\00:10:33.29
in the
Seventh-day Adventist Church?
00:10:33.32\00:10:34.35
No, you can't do that. Okay.
00:10:34.38\00:10:35.98
Oh, no.
00:10:36.01\00:10:37.04
So tell us the next
part of the journey.
00:10:37.07\00:10:38.82
Well, I was excited about
getting involved in ministry.
00:10:38.85\00:10:43.50
Actually I had a little
small women support group
00:10:43.53\00:10:45.80
in the community
00:10:45.83\00:10:47.07
before I joined
the Adventist Church.
00:10:47.10\00:10:49.65
I started my own
food pantry in 2001.
00:10:49.68\00:10:53.03
And I was just
getting little scraps
00:10:53.06\00:10:55.19
from here and there
from different churches
00:10:55.22\00:10:57.75
asking for help to just give out
00:10:57.78\00:10:59.61
little food
baskets here and there.
00:10:59.64\00:11:01.32
And I was joining the
church they told me that
00:11:01.35\00:11:04.46
well, as Adventist we
have community service training
00:11:04.49\00:11:08.71
and so you can learn
at the Adventist way.
00:11:08.74\00:11:11.19
Okay. Amen.
00:11:11.22\00:11:12.26
I love the Adventist way, amen.
00:11:12.29\00:11:14.40
And so I got
training on community service,
00:11:14.43\00:11:17.35
how to serve better,
how to be a better leader.
00:11:17.38\00:11:20.35
And then later on I got
into Bible worker training.
00:11:20.38\00:11:23.38
So I've been a Bible
worker now for nine years
00:11:23.41\00:11:26.61
and I'm excited
about it, you know,
00:11:26.64\00:11:28.88
and so I just
stay busy in the Lord.
00:11:28.91\00:11:31.33
Next thing I
know I was traveling
00:11:31.36\00:11:33.11
for training in
different cities and states
00:11:33.14\00:11:35.06
and shared my testimony.
00:11:35.09\00:11:37.24
Okay.
00:11:37.27\00:11:38.31
I started my own
Women's Ministries,
00:11:38.34\00:11:40.66
Harrison's
Referral Services for Women.
00:11:40.69\00:11:43.26
I was a victim
of domestic violence
00:11:43.29\00:11:44.87
and I started that
ministry from that crisis
00:11:44.90\00:11:48.19
and so it changed lives
00:11:48.22\00:11:50.52
and some ladies are in
the Adventist Church today
00:11:50.55\00:11:53.66
because of that
ministry as well.
00:11:53.69\00:11:55.20
Praise the Lord.
00:11:55.23\00:11:56.26
You used the term Bible worker
00:11:56.29\00:11:58.65
maybe some of our
viewers don't know
00:11:58.68\00:12:01.00
what a Bible worker is.
00:12:01.03\00:12:02.73
So maybe elaborate a little
bit on what Bible worker is.
00:12:02.76\00:12:05.01
Okay, well, a Bible
worker we visit homes.
00:12:05.04\00:12:08.72
Okay.
00:12:08.75\00:12:09.78
We give Bible studies
in home Bible studies,
00:12:09.81\00:12:12.01
we drop off lesson
to the potential people
00:12:12.04\00:12:16.85
that we're gonna
be spending time with.
00:12:16.88\00:12:18.40
Okay.
00:12:18.43\00:12:19.47
We pray with them, we
find out what their needs are
00:12:19.50\00:12:23.57
and that's
exciting point about it.
00:12:23.60\00:12:25.47
We get to meet different people
from different backgrounds.
00:12:25.50\00:12:28.47
And the awesome point about
it is I like to do surveys,
00:12:28.50\00:12:31.94
I like to find that
00:12:31.97\00:12:33.02
what the needs of the people are
00:12:33.05\00:12:34.55
before we go in
with the gospel message.
00:12:34.58\00:12:36.77
Okay.
00:12:36.80\00:12:37.83
Sometimes
people don't have food,
00:12:37.86\00:12:39.70
they might have, they might--
utilities might be turned off,
00:12:39.73\00:12:44.07
they might need clothing.
00:12:44.10\00:12:45.32
And so I've learned the
way Jesus will help people,
00:12:45.35\00:12:49.04
is that we meet the needs first.
00:12:49.07\00:12:50.81
And once I can
meet their needs first
00:12:50.84\00:12:53.43
then I can go in and have
Bible studies with family,
00:12:53.46\00:12:57.32
drop off lessons,
spend time with them,
00:12:57.35\00:12:59.34
pray with them and particularly
they end up coming to church.
00:12:59.37\00:13:03.05
Now we've been hearing
some less than positive news
00:13:03.08\00:13:08.40
about the St. Louis
area lately in the news.
00:13:08.43\00:13:11.89
Yes, yes a lot
going on in Ferguson.
00:13:11.92\00:13:14.03
Strife and turmoil. Yes.
00:13:14.06\00:13:16.12
But what your tell us
is there's other things
00:13:16.15\00:13:18.94
that go on St. Louis
that maybe don't hit the news.
00:13:18.97\00:13:21.81
That's true.
That are good things.
00:13:21.84\00:13:23.12
Yes, very good thing
and that's evangelism.
00:13:23.15\00:13:25.30
Yeah.
00:13:25.33\00:13:26.36
And so people coming together,
people helping each other.
00:13:26.39\00:13:30.58
And tell us a little
more about the food pantry,
00:13:30.61\00:13:33.60
how long now have you
been operating the food pantry?
00:13:33.63\00:13:36.05
Actually since 2001, it wasn't
Adventist food pantry at first.
00:13:36.08\00:13:40.95
Okay.
00:13:40.98\00:13:42.14
So I started in 2001
00:13:42.17\00:13:44.06
and as I joined
the Adventist church,
00:13:44.09\00:13:46.97
the new church that we had
00:13:47.00\00:13:48.53
was called Emmanuel
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:13:48.56\00:13:50.45
I was a part of our
new church plant myself.
00:13:50.48\00:13:52.74
All right.
00:13:52.77\00:13:53.80
And the church was called
00:13:53.83\00:13:54.87
Emmanuel
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:13:54.90\00:13:56.46
So I named the pantry
00:13:56.49\00:13:57.53
after the Emmanuel
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:13:57.56\00:14:00.03
And we are going
strong now for 14 years.
00:14:00.06\00:14:03.20
Now I haven't been
Adventist for 14 years
00:14:03.23\00:14:05.25
but the pantry has
been going for 14 years.
00:14:05.28\00:14:07.59
We serve two communities
in downtown St. Louis.
00:14:07.62\00:14:11.08
We're preparing for our
thanksgiving baskets this year.
00:14:11.11\00:14:14.02
We have our
volunteer's working on that.
00:14:14.05\00:14:15.87
We served over maybe
I will say 14,000 people
00:14:15.90\00:14:19.71
maybe more in that community
within those few years.
00:14:19.74\00:14:22.62
Okay.
00:14:22.65\00:14:23.68
And we also have Bible studies
00:14:23.71\00:14:26.42
that have come out of
serving food baskets too.
00:14:26.45\00:14:30.53
Do you take the items to
people or do they come to you
00:14:30.56\00:14:35.87
to receive the
food, how's the service?
00:14:35.90\00:14:37.11
Yes, they come to our facility,
00:14:37.14\00:14:39.82
we're located in
downtown St. Louis
00:14:39.85\00:14:41.70
a 1401 Lasalle street.
00:14:41.73\00:14:44.26
And so we have two
different distribution days.
00:14:44.29\00:14:47.08
We serve two
different zip covers on Mondays
00:14:47.11\00:14:49.57
and we had served
all the others zip covers
00:14:49.60\00:14:52.23
on every other Thursday.
00:14:52.26\00:14:53.54
So we serve twice a month.
00:14:53.57\00:14:55.59
And then we also have
this program called MoboMarket.
00:14:55.62\00:14:59.32
Well, we have a 16 wheeler truck
00:14:59.35\00:15:02.81
that comes to our
facility once a month.
00:15:02.84\00:15:04.53
Okay.
00:15:04.56\00:15:05.59
And they bring the food to us
00:15:05.62\00:15:07.10
and we have maybe five
to seven pounds of food
00:15:07.13\00:15:09.93
and we line their
food up outside on pallets
00:15:09.96\00:15:12.30
and we just give it away
to the whole entire community,
00:15:12.33\00:15:14.54
oh, it's awesome.
00:15:14.57\00:15:16.11
We have such a
wonderful time doing that.
00:15:16.14\00:15:17.71
Wow.
00:15:17.74\00:15:18.77
So is this the storefront
00:15:18.80\00:15:20.88
or is this a church
that you're working out?
00:15:20.91\00:15:24.27
Well, no, the
building that we're working out
00:15:24.30\00:15:26.19
of right now the food pantry,
00:15:26.22\00:15:29.00
it's the St.
Louis housing authority.
00:15:29.03\00:15:30.86
Okay.
00:15:30.89\00:15:31.92
I've been serving the
community for so many years
00:15:31.95\00:15:34.03
and they've enjoyed
what I've been doing.
00:15:34.06\00:15:36.00
They gave me a place to use
for free for the last 14 years.
00:15:36.03\00:15:39.76
Wow.
00:15:39.79\00:15:40.83
I don't have to pay any
bills and the utilities.
00:15:40.86\00:15:42.80
They just want me
to serve the community
00:15:42.83\00:15:44.90
and we've been doing a
wonderful job with that
00:15:44.93\00:15:46.77
and I thank God for that.
00:15:46.80\00:15:48.25
Wow.
00:15:48.28\00:15:50.79
Now you're not new to 3ABN.
00:15:50.82\00:15:54.61
If I-- Diane, you
were involved with Lizzie.
00:15:54.64\00:15:58.12
Right, yes, the
radio station had
00:15:58.15\00:16:02.82
you doing women
of the Bible or no--
00:16:02.85\00:16:06.76
Women at the
well. Women at the well.
00:16:06.79\00:16:08.59
Yes, yes.
00:16:08.62\00:16:10.13
And I did a program
with you I remember.
00:16:10.16\00:16:13.37
Yes, and I enjoyed it.
00:16:13.40\00:16:14.63
I'm so looking forward to it
00:16:14.66\00:16:15.88
and I pray that
people around the world
00:16:15.91\00:16:18.00
had the opportunity to
listen to the broadcast
00:16:18.03\00:16:19.95
and they were blessed by it.
00:16:19.98\00:16:21.27
So you're a co-host.
00:16:21.30\00:16:22.50
Yes, co-host, yes,
women at the well, yes.
00:16:22.53\00:16:25.38
Okay. Yes, the Lord is good.
00:16:25.41\00:16:27.25
Yes.
00:16:27.28\00:16:28.31
So this last year you
became a Seventh-day Adventist,
00:16:28.34\00:16:32.97
you were
involved with mission work
00:16:33.00\00:16:37.30
and ministry into people
00:16:37.33\00:16:38.61
even before you became
a Seventh-day Adventist.
00:16:38.64\00:16:41.53
And tell us what are you doing
in addition to the food pantry,
00:16:41.56\00:16:48.64
what kinds of
things do you have?
00:16:48.67\00:16:49.97
Well, I have my
own women's ministries
00:16:50.00\00:16:52.43
as I was saying earlier
00:16:52.46\00:16:53.59
Harrison's
Referral Services for Women,
00:16:53.62\00:16:55.39
its domestic violence ministry.
00:16:55.42\00:16:58.08
We help women and children
00:16:58.11\00:16:59.32
that are going
through domestic violence,
00:16:59.35\00:17:02.61
we have been get into
domestic violence shelters,
00:17:02.64\00:17:05.82
we help them
with correct packages,
00:17:05.85\00:17:08.24
prayer and also we
give them Bible lessons.
00:17:08.27\00:17:11.83
And we make sure they want to
get out of these shelters that
00:17:11.86\00:17:15.45
and they get into
transitional housing,
00:17:15.48\00:17:17.14
they were there
to also support them
00:17:17.17\00:17:19.64
through that as well.
00:17:19.67\00:17:21.46
And we're excited about
00:17:21.49\00:17:22.52
that we just had
our women's retreat
00:17:22.55\00:17:24.62
we just had a one
day women's retreat
00:17:24.65\00:17:26.20
this past couple of weeks ago
00:17:26.23\00:17:29.02
November 1st and
2nd very nice time,
00:17:29.05\00:17:31.99
we had such a wonderful time.
00:17:32.02\00:17:34.41
And we're trying to reach
more people in our community
00:17:34.44\00:17:40.18
and with everything going
on in St. Louis and Ferguson
00:17:40.21\00:17:42.67
there is a lot
of domestic violence
00:17:42.70\00:17:44.06
as well as all
different types of abuse.
00:17:44.09\00:17:45.97
And so we're
trying to also intertwine
00:17:46.00\00:17:48.68
what was going on in St. Louis,
00:17:48.71\00:17:50.06
so we can help
those that are going
00:17:50.09\00:17:52.35
through different
type of domestic violence.
00:17:52.38\00:17:55.56
So do you have a
place that women come to,
00:17:55.59\00:17:59.59
you have an office, you have
00:17:59.62\00:18:01.62
or is it at the
community service center?
00:18:01.65\00:18:04.03
Yes, yes, we also meet there
or a lot of times we get calls,
00:18:04.06\00:18:07.35
we get emergency calls.
00:18:07.38\00:18:08.54
And so once those calls come in
00:18:08.57\00:18:10.53
we just have to place
them in emergency facilities
00:18:10.56\00:18:12.80
and there we
just work from there.
00:18:12.83\00:18:14.64
And so those call can come
in the middle of the night,
00:18:14.67\00:18:17.03
early in the
morning it just depends.
00:18:17.06\00:18:20.60
We're working on
00:18:20.63\00:18:22.58
8th Annual Domestic
Violence Victory Banquet.
00:18:22.61\00:18:26.35
It's gonna be coming up
00:18:26.38\00:18:27.73
next year July
the 19th on Sunday.
00:18:27.76\00:18:30.83
That victory
banquet you come out
00:18:30.86\00:18:33.15
and we have a three course meal.
00:18:33.18\00:18:35.07
Okay.
00:18:35.10\00:18:36.15
Very nice, we
have keynote speaker
00:18:36.18\00:18:38.57
and the floors
open for testimonies
00:18:38.60\00:18:40.55
for people to come up and share
00:18:40.58\00:18:41.75
what the Lord has done for
them and share their victories.
00:18:41.78\00:18:45.06
Well, whatever it is
that you've been through,
00:18:45.09\00:18:47.72
it's so wonderful
event, hope you all can come.
00:18:47.75\00:18:50.52
Yeah, that's good.
00:18:50.55\00:18:51.91
This is the first
time you've done it?
00:18:51.94\00:18:53.21
No, this is our
eighth annual coming up.
00:18:53.24\00:18:54.68
Eighth annual. Yes.
00:18:54.71\00:18:55.95
Wow, okay. Yes.
00:18:55.98\00:18:58.16
You have down to
also it sounds like
00:18:58.19\00:19:01.10
every things
really going on great
00:19:01.13\00:19:02.53
but you may be
had some struggles
00:19:02.56\00:19:04.84
in your journey as well.
00:19:04.87\00:19:06.52
Well, we have our
struggles here and there
00:19:06.55\00:19:09.87
and I thank God
for the struggles.
00:19:09.90\00:19:11.09
Okay.
00:19:11.12\00:19:12.15
It's a growing
experience for me,
00:19:12.18\00:19:14.25
humbling experience for me.
00:19:14.28\00:19:17.16
It also boosts
up my prayer life.
00:19:17.19\00:19:19.00
Okay.
00:19:19.03\00:19:20.08
And so but yeah, we've had
00:19:20.11\00:19:21.83
a little
challenges here and there
00:19:21.86\00:19:23.17
but nothing
that the Lord haven't
00:19:23.20\00:19:25.81
you know, been
able to bring us through
00:19:25.84\00:19:28.73
but right now everything
seem to be going pretty well.
00:19:28.76\00:19:31.47
Praying every day that the
Lord just continues to guide me,
00:19:31.50\00:19:37.36
to lead me and teach me
what it is He wants me to do.
00:19:37.39\00:19:41.48
My biggest thing
getting into ministry
00:19:41.51\00:19:44.65
was this is God's
ministry, it's not mine.
00:19:44.68\00:19:47.88
Okay, right.
00:19:47.91\00:19:48.95
The Lord has just allowed
me, amen, to be a part of it
00:19:48.98\00:19:52.70
and I just want to
please God in every aspect
00:19:52.73\00:19:55.38
of every thing that I do.
00:19:55.41\00:19:57.92
My biggest goal in my--
00:19:57.95\00:20:03.24
my prayer request
has always been that
00:20:03.27\00:20:06.53
the Lord would teach me
how to be a good leader,
00:20:06.56\00:20:10.22
how to be a
inspiration to others?
00:20:10.25\00:20:12.97
I don't want to be a
stumbling block to anyone.
00:20:13.00\00:20:16.32
Now I'm human you
know and we make mistakes
00:20:16.35\00:20:19.28
but I love
people, I love to serve
00:20:19.31\00:20:22.06
and that's what I want to do.
00:20:22.09\00:20:23.49
I just want to serve the
way Jesus wants me to serve.
00:20:23.52\00:20:25.92
Okay.
00:20:25.95\00:20:26.99
Lizzie, tell us
about, you have family?
00:20:27.02\00:20:29.60
Yes, yes, yes.
00:20:29.63\00:20:32.99
I've been married three
years next year, June the 10th.
00:20:33.02\00:20:37.40
I just married my lovely husband
00:20:37.43\00:20:39.14
Lushomo Chambwa, he's
from Africa from Zambia.
00:20:39.17\00:20:42.77
Zambia? Yes, and I have--
00:20:42.80\00:20:45.56
my son he's 14 years old
from a previous marriage.
00:20:45.59\00:20:49.19
And my husband now
we have our new son,
00:20:49.22\00:20:52.63
a he's a year old and
this Lushomo Chambwa Jr.
00:20:52.66\00:20:55.83
Wow, okay.
00:20:55.86\00:20:57.62
And we call him
Juju, that's his nickname.
00:20:57.65\00:21:01.71
And so he keeps
me very, very busy.
00:21:01.74\00:21:04.35
Okay. I have four grandchildren.
00:21:04.38\00:21:06.27
All right.
00:21:06.30\00:21:07.34
And I have two daughters,
they both 24 years old.
00:21:07.37\00:21:11.71
They are ten months
apart so you know, this--
00:21:11.74\00:21:14.17
they look like twins
but they're not twins.
00:21:14.20\00:21:16.69
And so one of my daughter
00:21:16.72\00:21:17.89
her and her
husband have four children.
00:21:17.92\00:21:19.35
Oh.
00:21:19.38\00:21:20.41
And my other
daughter that's Daine,
00:21:20.44\00:21:22.54
that has the four children.
00:21:22.57\00:21:24.17
And Victoria she
doesn't have any children yet.
00:21:24.20\00:21:26.82
She's just finished four
years of college at Mazowe.
00:21:26.85\00:21:30.58
And now she's
enjoying life right now.
00:21:30.61\00:21:32.62
And she is very excited.
00:21:32.65\00:21:34.66
Now I would never have guessed
Lizzie would be a grandma.
00:21:34.69\00:21:37.25
I know.
00:21:37.28\00:21:38.36
That just never
even entered my mind.
00:21:38.39\00:21:40.20
Now we may be-- I
look like a grandpa
00:21:40.23\00:21:43.13
but I don't think Lizzie.
00:21:43.16\00:21:44.82
Well, that's wonderful.
00:21:44.85\00:21:48.77
I've heard just
a little bit about
00:21:48.80\00:21:51.26
involved with church planting.
00:21:51.29\00:21:52.76
You said, you
were in a church plant.
00:21:52.79\00:21:55.66
Yes, part of a church plant.
00:21:55.69\00:21:57.33
Eventually, part of church plant
00:21:57.36\00:21:59.24
and now you're
involved in a church plant
00:21:59.27\00:22:03.50
in someway, how
did that come about?
00:22:03.53\00:22:06.50
Wow, I was
attending the Mid-Rivers
00:22:06.53\00:22:10.96
Seventh-day Adventist
Church in Saint Peters
00:22:10.99\00:22:13.68
under the
leadership of Pastor Robb Long
00:22:13.71\00:22:16.90
and the Missouri Conference.
00:22:16.93\00:22:19.38
And they started the program
called Equipping University
00:22:19.41\00:22:23.20
and we were
getting a lot of training
00:22:23.23\00:22:25.05
on how to preach,
00:22:25.08\00:22:26.19
how to write sermons
and the internet area.
00:22:26.22\00:22:29.05
So I've done lot of training
with Equipping University.
00:22:29.08\00:22:32.59
And through that program
they started church planting.
00:22:32.62\00:22:37.24
And I was
interested in church planting.
00:22:37.27\00:22:38.87
I had no idea that
I'll be church planting
00:22:38.90\00:22:41.54
more or less in
church period, okay.
00:22:41.57\00:22:43.32
Okay.
00:22:43.35\00:22:44.38
And so but I was
excited about church planting
00:22:44.41\00:22:48.33
and I said, Lord you
know, can I church plant?
00:22:48.36\00:22:50.43
Can I plant a church for You?
00:22:50.46\00:22:52.86
And so with the
training and the support,
00:22:52.89\00:22:55.51
and the prayers, and the love,
00:22:55.54\00:22:57.64
the Holy Spirit just overwhelmed
00:22:57.67\00:22:59.48
and I said, yes, you can do
00:22:59.51\00:23:01.38
all things to Christ
that strengthens you.
00:23:01.41\00:23:03.79
And so I got
involved in church planting.
00:23:03.82\00:23:06.13
I love it. It's like--
00:23:06.16\00:23:07.96
my life is just seem
to be blossom me more
00:23:07.99\00:23:11.59
in so many different aspects
00:23:11.62\00:23:13.00
and I'm just happy about that.
00:23:13.03\00:23:14.35
So how was-- how
would a person go
00:23:14.38\00:23:17.15
about planting a church?
00:23:17.18\00:23:20.64
Well, that's a good question,
00:23:20.67\00:23:22.51
I'm still trying
to find out as well.
00:23:22.54\00:23:24.43
Figure out,
okay. It's a journey.
00:23:24.46\00:23:26.84
All right.
00:23:26.87\00:23:27.91
The good thing about it is
we have training every month.
00:23:27.94\00:23:30.48
Okay.
00:23:30.51\00:23:31.54
We also each one of us
that are planting churches
00:23:31.57\00:23:34.02
about three or
four of us right now.
00:23:34.05\00:23:36.53
We have a pastor coach.
00:23:36.56\00:23:38.42
And so we were assigned a coach
00:23:38.45\00:23:40.14
and they are there to support us
00:23:40.17\00:23:41.79
and to be there
for us to pray with us,
00:23:41.82\00:23:44.42
if we have any questions
or need help with anything,
00:23:44.45\00:23:46.71
they are there to support us,
00:23:46.74\00:23:47.77
so we're not
doing this by ourselves.
00:23:47.80\00:23:49.59
We have the support of
the Missouri Conference.
00:23:49.62\00:23:52.10
So went out and you rented
a great big church's building
00:23:52.13\00:23:56.90
somewhere, is that
what you did you do?
00:23:56.93\00:23:57.97
Oh, no, that's gonna
be later on down the line.
00:23:58.00\00:24:00.52
That's the down the line.
00:24:00.55\00:24:01.58
Right now we're
house church right now.
00:24:01.61\00:24:03.36
You're house church.
00:24:03.39\00:24:04.43
Yes, it's
exciting to open up now.
00:24:04.46\00:24:06.15
And whose house?
It's in my house.
00:24:06.18\00:24:08.05
Oh, your house. Okay.
00:24:08.08\00:24:09.28
Excuse me, honey, our house.
00:24:09.31\00:24:10.69
Our house, God's
house is your house.
00:24:10.72\00:24:12.16
Yes, in God's house yes so.
00:24:12.19\00:24:13.37
Okay.
00:24:13.40\00:24:14.44
Yeah, we're
house church right now.
00:24:14.47\00:24:15.62
And so everyone
comes to our home,
00:24:15.65\00:24:18.51
we have Sabbath
school, adult Sabbath School,
00:24:18.54\00:24:20.42
we have youth
Sabbath school as well.
00:24:20.45\00:24:23.32
My husband Lushomo he
teaches youth Sabbath school
00:24:23.35\00:24:26.55
and I teach adult Sabbath school
00:24:26.58\00:24:28.36
and I also bring
the message on Sabbath.
00:24:28.39\00:24:31.34
Unless I have a speaker coming
00:24:31.37\00:24:33.04
and you know, every now
00:24:33.07\00:24:34.78
and then but we
have worship service,
00:24:34.81\00:24:38.59
praise and worship is awesome.
00:24:38.62\00:24:40.25
We have a wonderful
time and the good part is
00:24:40.28\00:24:43.11
we get to fellowship
together and we eat well, amen.
00:24:43.14\00:24:47.16
The church
members love the food.
00:24:47.19\00:24:48.34
All right.
00:24:48.37\00:24:49.41
I think that's what keep
them coming back you know.
00:24:49.44\00:24:51.97
Well, the spiritual food
and this also physical food.
00:24:52.00\00:24:54.10
Yes.
00:24:54.13\00:24:55.16
How many do you have coming?
00:24:55.19\00:24:56.90
Well, right now we have about
16 people attending right now,
00:24:56.93\00:25:00.63
most the majority
of them are youth,
00:25:00.66\00:25:02.58
which I'm very
excited about that.
00:25:02.61\00:25:04.34
We have a quite a bit of youth
00:25:04.37\00:25:06.27
as of two week ago we
just recruited two more.
00:25:06.30\00:25:08.31
Okay.
00:25:08.34\00:25:09.37
Youth, young ladies, two
sisters 15 to 16 years old
00:25:09.40\00:25:14.15
and this is the good part
00:25:14.18\00:25:15.29
everybody lives
right to next door to us.
00:25:15.32\00:25:18.80
That's your
neighbors. Is your neighbors?
00:25:18.83\00:25:20.41
Yes, our neighbors. Wonderful.
00:25:20.44\00:25:21.51
Yeah. Oh, wow.
00:25:21.54\00:25:22.57
Isn't they beautiful? Yeah.
00:25:22.60\00:25:23.92
So are you feeding them
00:25:23.95\00:25:25.50
or they don't bring food
you provide all the food?
00:25:25.53\00:25:28.46
Yes, yeah, I provide the food.
00:25:28.49\00:25:29.55
Actually I have a
ministry for catering.
00:25:29.58\00:25:32.26
I do catering and
wedding decorating.
00:25:32.29\00:25:34.12
Is there anything you don't do?
00:25:34.15\00:25:35.49
I'm sorry.
00:25:35.52\00:25:37.79
Well, the Lord did say, He
will multiply our talents, amen.
00:25:37.82\00:25:39.69
Yeah, right yeah.
And so I love to cook.
00:25:39.72\00:25:41.50
Okay.
00:25:41.53\00:25:42.56
And I cater
different types of food
00:25:42.59\00:25:45.09
and I do
decorating for weddings,
00:25:45.12\00:25:48.78
I cater for weddings
in the different events
00:25:48.81\00:25:51.06
its called Calvary
Catering and Wedding Decorating.
00:25:51.09\00:25:54.44
And I-- as I came
with the name Calvary
00:25:54.47\00:25:57.16
because without
Calvary we can do nothing.
00:25:57.19\00:25:59.00
Without Calvary we
wouldn't be here today.
00:25:59.03\00:26:01.32
And so I thank
the Lord for that,
00:26:01.35\00:26:02.54
but they're
excited about the food
00:26:02.57\00:26:04.05
because we eat well,
very well and healthy.
00:26:04.08\00:26:07.80
So what's a typical meal
that you would have on Sabbath?
00:26:07.83\00:26:11.09
Well, they love greens, cabbage,
00:26:11.12\00:26:14.84
lentils, they like cornbread.
00:26:14.87\00:26:19.03
All right.
00:26:19.06\00:26:20.14
A lot of times I
make different soups
00:26:20.17\00:26:21.54
especially since
its getting cold now
00:26:21.57\00:26:23.00
I make a lot of
vegetables soups,
00:26:23.03\00:26:25.38
lentils loafs,
oatmeal patties, amen.
00:26:25.41\00:26:29.36
Okay. And so--
00:26:29.39\00:26:30.50
The neighbors are
getting introduced to it.
00:26:30.53\00:26:31.56
Yes, and salad,
yes, so they aren't--
00:26:31.59\00:26:33.86
they've thinking that
they're eating, real meat
00:26:33.89\00:26:36.72
but they're like
man this stuff is good
00:26:36.75\00:26:38.27
but you keep telling
me you don't eat meat
00:26:38.30\00:26:40.63
then why do you serving us meat?
00:26:40.66\00:26:42.58
And it's just so interesting
and they love the food.
00:26:42.61\00:26:45.47
Yeah.
00:26:45.50\00:26:46.53
And not realizing
they're eating tofu.
00:26:46.56\00:26:50.21
And lentils this is so awesome
but they're eating healthy.
00:26:50.24\00:26:54.41
And I'm sharing
the health message
00:26:54.44\00:26:55.79
with them as well so--
00:26:55.82\00:26:57.04
So when got the inspiration
to start this church plant
00:26:57.07\00:27:04.72
did you have a team of people
00:27:04.75\00:27:06.72
whether just you
and your husband?
00:27:06.75\00:27:08.98
Well, we're
working on core team.
00:27:09.01\00:27:10.16
Okay.
00:27:10.19\00:27:11.22
And those core teams of people
00:27:11.25\00:27:12.81
that were working
with share the same vision.
00:27:12.84\00:27:15.21
Okay.
00:27:15.24\00:27:16.28
That we have for
us at the church plant
00:27:16.31\00:27:17.99
and they will--
00:27:18.02\00:27:19.37
some of those will
come are potential leaders.
00:27:19.40\00:27:22.23
And so right now
it's just six, seven of us
00:27:22.26\00:27:24.03
like I said most
of-- excuse me, are youth
00:27:24.06\00:27:26.69
and so we're building
up our core team right now.
00:27:26.72\00:27:29.92
So basically we
just planting right now
00:27:29.95\00:27:32.86
but we're looking
forward to be in a company
00:27:32.89\00:27:34.80
and then a full established
church in the future.
00:27:34.83\00:27:37.76
Okay, so it was just
basically you and your husband
00:27:37.79\00:27:41.00
or did you have
other couples that were?
00:27:41.03\00:27:43.09
No, it was just
myself and my husband, yes.
00:27:43.12\00:27:46.74
Okay, all right.
00:27:46.77\00:27:48.01
And now your-- the people,
00:27:48.04\00:27:51.26
young people
attending are being mentored
00:27:51.29\00:27:54.55
and trained to takeover
various decisions then I guess.
00:27:54.58\00:27:58.70
Yes, and also
the adults you know,
00:27:58.73\00:28:00.57
future wise just we
seek our future leaders.
00:28:00.60\00:28:05.18
My husband and I we just
had our own evangelistic meeting
00:28:05.21\00:28:09.21
that's how I met husband,
we were preaching together.
00:28:09.24\00:28:11.84
And we just had our
own evangelistic meeting
00:28:11.87\00:28:14.63
called Igniting
St. Louis with a Fire.
00:28:14.66\00:28:17.89
And this was in August,
00:28:17.92\00:28:18.95
August of 23rd
through this year.
00:28:18.98\00:28:21.53
All right.
00:28:21.56\00:28:22.59
And three young
people my husband and I
00:28:22.62\00:28:24.40
we baptized three young people.
00:28:24.43\00:28:26.02
Oh, praise the Lord.
00:28:26.05\00:28:27.08
Out of that evangelistic meeting
00:28:27.11\00:28:28.42
and three of those young people
are in our church plant today.
00:28:28.45\00:28:31.80
So did you focus
this evangelistic series
00:28:31.83\00:28:36.68
in your neighborhood or--
00:28:36.71\00:28:38.60
No, we were actually in
the whole new community.
00:28:38.63\00:28:40.66
We rented out in
the Baptist church
00:28:40.69\00:28:43.14
in south St. Louis.
00:28:43.17\00:28:44.80
And we reached to
people in that community
00:28:44.83\00:28:47.98
as well as the
community that we lived in.
00:28:48.01\00:28:50.91
And so we rented that
space out for that week,
00:28:50.94\00:28:54.45
we met every night, we
have refreshments every night
00:28:54.48\00:28:57.10
from 6 o'clock to 6:30.
00:28:57.13\00:28:58.77
And you provide the refreshment?
00:28:58.80\00:29:00.12
Yes, we provide
the refreshments,
00:29:00.15\00:29:01.86
yes, I love to serve.
00:29:01.89\00:29:03.77
And we started every night
probably it's at 7 o'clock,
00:29:03.80\00:29:07.69
me and my husband we took turns
00:29:07.72\00:29:09.44
preaching every
night different message
00:29:09.47\00:29:11.85
and thank God
for ShareHim, amen.
00:29:11.88\00:29:14.35
And so we were
able to do that meeting
00:29:14.38\00:29:17.20
and that last Sabbath we met,
00:29:17.23\00:29:19.85
we had a nice fellowship meal,
00:29:19.88\00:29:21.55
after the fellowship
meal we had the baptism.
00:29:21.58\00:29:23.99
Very nice.
00:29:24.02\00:29:25.37
How did you
advertise your meetings?
00:29:25.40\00:29:27.21
Well, we went door to
door, we passed our handbills,
00:29:27.24\00:29:31.50
we did Facebook
and we had posters
00:29:31.53\00:29:35.21
and we posted up all
through out the communities.
00:29:35.24\00:29:36.89
Okay.
00:29:36.92\00:29:37.95
And we went door
to door for about
00:29:37.98\00:29:39.58
for weeks before the meeting.
00:29:39.61\00:29:41.33
Oh. Yes.
00:29:41.36\00:29:42.39
So you're not frightened
to knock on the door then?
00:29:42.42\00:29:45.15
Oh, no.
00:29:45.18\00:29:46.21
I might be
worrying to dress right now
00:29:46.24\00:29:48.06
but I can takeoff
this dress and these hills
00:29:48.09\00:29:49.87
and I can put on some
tennis shoes and sweat suits
00:29:49.90\00:29:53.29
and we get out
and we knock on doors.
00:29:53.32\00:29:54.78
We are very mission
minded, very busy church.
00:29:54.81\00:29:58.30
Okay, is St. Louis the only area
00:29:58.33\00:30:02.03
you've focused in on ministry
00:30:02.06\00:30:03.87
or is there been other places
you've traveled or gone to?
00:30:03.90\00:30:06.63
Well, I recently had the
pleasure of visiting Manila
00:30:06.66\00:30:11.22
I had a mission
trip this past May.
00:30:11.25\00:30:14.57
Myself along with
some others from St. Louis
00:30:14.60\00:30:18.19
and around the
world all the evangelist
00:30:18.22\00:30:19.86
we all travel to
Manila, Philippines.
00:30:19.89\00:30:22.45
It was actually
the 28th of April
00:30:22.48\00:30:24.76
until this 19th of
May and it was awesome.
00:30:24.79\00:30:28.10
We all preached in
different churches.
00:30:28.13\00:30:30.50
I actually preached at
the Malabon Seventh-day Church
00:30:30.53\00:30:33.19
in Manila, Philippines.
00:30:33.22\00:30:35.19
And I think-- I think
00:30:35.22\00:30:37.46
if not mistaking about
90 or 95 different locations
00:30:37.49\00:30:41.68
we all preached
along with pastor--
00:30:41.71\00:30:44.21
I'm sorry, Elder Ted Wilson.
00:30:44.24\00:30:46.63
We all went
together, it was beautiful.
00:30:46.66\00:30:49.66
So was that a ShareHim event?
00:30:49.69\00:30:51.56
Yes, through ShareHim,
yes, I love ShareHim, amen.
00:30:51.59\00:30:54.73
Maybe people don't
know what ShareHim is,
00:30:54.76\00:30:57.10
why don't you
share a little bit of--
00:30:57.13\00:30:58.69
why don't you ShareHim?
00:30:58.72\00:31:00.25
Well, ShareHim is
a powerful ministry.
00:31:00.28\00:31:04.63
They, you know, they
have evangelistic material
00:31:04.66\00:31:10.38
that you can go out and
have evangelistic meetings.
00:31:10.41\00:31:15.40
They help you
with whatever you need,
00:31:15.43\00:31:17.33
they setup the mission
trips as well plan them
00:31:17.36\00:31:20.30
and help you get to
the different locations
00:31:20.33\00:31:21.94
and make sure that
you're stable and everything
00:31:21.97\00:31:24.70
and so if you're looking
to do an evangelistic meeting
00:31:24.73\00:31:27.95
I recommend to call ShareHim.
00:31:27.98\00:31:29.57
They have different
types of evangelistic equipment
00:31:29.60\00:31:31.60
that you can use for
your evangelistic meetings.
00:31:31.63\00:31:33.62
PowerPoint, right?
00:31:33.65\00:31:34.69
Yes, PowerPoint,
yes, exactly PowerPoint.
00:31:34.72\00:31:37.65
So ShareHim you could
Google it on the internet
00:31:37.68\00:31:43.75
and I'm sure you'll find
it, it is an organization
00:31:43.78\00:31:47.15
that plans
evangelistic outreach events.
00:31:47.18\00:31:51.45
Amen.
00:31:51.48\00:31:52.51
And it has
material to help support you
00:31:52.54\00:31:54.95
and all the
information on how you can go to
00:31:54.98\00:31:59.40
just about any part
of the world, right?
00:31:59.43\00:32:00.68
Amen, amen, yes.
00:32:00.71\00:32:02.36
And do and be a part of
an evangelistic endeavor
00:32:02.39\00:32:06.80
of sharing the
gospel around the world.
00:32:06.83\00:32:09.17
And so you're connected
with one of those events.
00:32:09.20\00:32:11.59
Yes, and it was a
very awesome experience.
00:32:11.62\00:32:14.83
The church that I
was preaching at 25
00:32:14.86\00:32:18.99
from what I'm
understating 25 souls
00:32:19.02\00:32:21.25
accepted Jesus Christ
as the Lord and Savior.
00:32:21.28\00:32:24.76
Some were
baptized before we left
00:32:24.79\00:32:26.56
and some were
baptized after we left,
00:32:26.59\00:32:29.25
but from what I understand
out of all of the meetings
00:32:29.28\00:32:32.42
that took place there I think
10,000 souls were baptized,
00:32:32.45\00:32:35.96
during the whole entire meeting.
00:32:35.99\00:32:37.02
All right, praise the Lord.
00:32:37.05\00:32:38.08
I think C.A. Murray from
3ABN also a part of that.
00:32:38.11\00:32:40.39
Yes, yes, he was there as well.
00:32:40.42\00:32:41.84
Yes, very nice
event. I'm so excited.
00:32:41.87\00:32:44.74
Is this your first
time to do ShareHim?
00:32:44.77\00:32:46.62
Yes, yes, it is.
And it won't be my last.
00:32:46.65\00:32:49.79
Okay. Kind of it grows on you.
00:32:49.82\00:32:54.33
Its a catchy inspiring anyway
to be involved in that type.
00:32:54.36\00:33:00.45
It really is, yes.
00:33:00.48\00:33:01.57
We've been on
some mission trips,
00:33:01.60\00:33:03.41
ours have been more building
00:33:03.44\00:33:05.37
something and then
having meetings along with it
00:33:05.40\00:33:08.43
and it's always been a
very encouraging thing.
00:33:08.46\00:33:11.64
Okay, well so you
have food pantry going,
00:33:11.67\00:33:16.57
you have ministry for
women who have been abused.
00:33:16.60\00:33:20.99
Yes.
00:33:21.02\00:33:22.06
And you have a
church plant going.
00:33:22.09\00:33:24.92
Yes.
00:33:24.95\00:33:26.23
Wow and then done a
mission trip here recently.
00:33:26.26\00:33:28.43
Yes.
00:33:28.46\00:33:29.49
This is-- do you
have time for your family?
00:33:29.52\00:33:33.46
Yes, that's a good point.
00:33:33.49\00:33:34.93
My husband and I we make
sure we have our date night.
00:33:34.96\00:33:37.48
Yeah.
00:33:37.51\00:33:38.55
And I love date night
00:33:38.58\00:33:39.79
because my husband
always surprises me.
00:33:39.82\00:33:41.42
He takes me different places.
00:33:41.45\00:33:43.62
I spend time with my son,
00:33:43.65\00:33:45.67
we have our son and mother and I
00:33:45.70\00:33:48.83
we date night
actually with my son.
00:33:48.86\00:33:50.91
And then we have
our family time together
00:33:50.94\00:33:53.73
believe it or
not most people say,
00:33:53.76\00:33:54.99
well how do you have
time for your family?
00:33:55.02\00:33:57.36
Believe it not I make
plenty of time for my family.
00:33:57.39\00:34:01.45
And my husband and I we--
00:34:01.48\00:34:03.39
he's my best friend and
we have a good time together.
00:34:03.42\00:34:07.05
Now the two
daughters are not at home now--
00:34:07.08\00:34:09.83
Now they have an own lives,
00:34:09.86\00:34:11.33
thank God, they're all grown up.
00:34:11.36\00:34:12.56
Baby and another son.
00:34:12.59\00:34:15.33
Yes, I have a new son,
00:34:15.36\00:34:16.75
new baby boy, he's a year old.
00:34:16.78\00:34:18.73
And his name is
Lushomo Jr. Right.
00:34:18.76\00:34:22.38
And my son Don,
he's 14 years old.
00:34:22.41\00:34:25.24
Okay, so he's still at home.
00:34:25.27\00:34:26.34
Yes. Okay.
00:34:26.37\00:34:27.40
So I have three
spoiled babies at home.
00:34:27.43\00:34:33.34
We don't mind being spoiled.
00:34:33.37\00:34:34.55
Oh, I know, my husband
don't mind, he's not shy.
00:34:34.58\00:34:38.71
So thank God for that,
I thank God for family.
00:34:38.74\00:34:42.15
Well, I'm still, I'm curious
church planting is not anything
00:34:42.18\00:34:47.96
that I have been
very much involved in.
00:34:47.99\00:34:51.17
I've usually been
pastoring a church
00:34:51.20\00:34:54.02
or been into
business side of church,
00:34:54.05\00:34:57.13
church planting
always sounded scary
00:34:57.16\00:34:59.78
but the way you made
it sound it's like now
00:34:59.81\00:35:02.31
it's just did you go to
your neighborhood at all?
00:35:02.34\00:35:04.99
How did you
advertising your neighborhood,
00:35:05.02\00:35:06.84
how did you tell them--
00:35:06.87\00:35:07.90
We knocked on
doors, we knocked on doors,
00:35:07.93\00:35:11.58
we did surveys,
we pray for people,
00:35:11.61\00:35:13.64
we pass our little
cards to let them know
00:35:13.67\00:35:15.85
well, we're meeting
for worship service,
00:35:15.88\00:35:17.61
well, we're having Bible study.
00:35:17.64\00:35:19.21
And right now we
have prayer meeting
00:35:19.24\00:35:21.06
every Tuesday
night from six to eight.
00:35:21.09\00:35:22.63
Okay.
00:35:22.66\00:35:23.69
We're meeting at 6000,
West Florissant Avenue,
00:35:23.72\00:35:26.14
actually were five minutes
00:35:26.17\00:35:27.46
from Ferguson
from all the chaos.
00:35:27.49\00:35:29.49
Okay.
00:35:29.52\00:35:30.55
And so we're
praising the Lord on one end,
00:35:30.58\00:35:32.44
we have chaos on the other
but the Lord is good, amen.
00:35:32.47\00:35:35.32
Yeah.
00:35:35.35\00:35:36.38
And we have worship
service at our home.
00:35:36.41\00:35:38.23
Okay.
00:35:38.26\00:35:39.29
And so we have church at home
00:35:39.32\00:35:41.18
and we have building
for prayer meeting for now.
00:35:41.21\00:35:44.13
So we're praying for a space
00:35:44.16\00:35:46.16
that we can come
together have prayer meeting
00:35:46.19\00:35:47.80
and worship
service in the same space.
00:35:47.83\00:35:50.77
We just recently had block party
00:35:50.80\00:35:52.29
for our church plant.
00:35:52.32\00:35:53.36
Oh, okay.
00:35:53.39\00:35:54.42
October the 19th it was awesome.
00:35:54.45\00:35:57.01
I have some pictures
00:35:57.04\00:35:58.50
I would like to
show that we have
00:35:58.53\00:36:01.04
Maybe you want to tell us
about what we're seeing here.
00:36:01.07\00:36:03.32
Yes, those are
church members there.
00:36:03.35\00:36:06.41
And we had African music out
00:36:06.44\00:36:10.18
and we had some
ministries come out to share
00:36:10.21\00:36:14.13
the type of ministries
that they had going on.
00:36:14.16\00:36:16.50
We had popcorn, we
had a prayer booth,
00:36:16.53\00:36:19.61
we had a information booth.
00:36:19.64\00:36:21.62
We had free food
00:36:21.65\00:36:23.18
that's my daughter
Diane and my little son Juju.
00:36:23.21\00:36:26.14
Okay.
00:36:26.17\00:36:27.22
It's my husband and our son
and we had a wonderful time.
00:36:27.25\00:36:31.40
Those are my neighbors.
00:36:31.43\00:36:33.44
All of them come
to our church plant,
00:36:33.47\00:36:35.82
that's Pastor Long,
he's a part of our--
00:36:35.85\00:36:38.79
he's my coach, pastor coach
and we had a wonderful time.
00:36:38.82\00:36:44.33
I just can't believe
what the Lord had just done,
00:36:44.36\00:36:46.92
we had a wonderful time.
00:36:46.95\00:36:48.70
We had about, I think
about 12 different ministries
00:36:48.73\00:36:51.15
that were coming out to
setup booths along the street.
00:36:51.18\00:36:54.25
Okay.
00:36:54.28\00:36:55.31
Everybody came up
from the community
00:36:55.34\00:36:57.48
and do you know I was told that
00:36:57.51\00:37:00.09
nothing ever
happened in that community
00:37:00.12\00:37:02.05
like this, since 1975.
00:37:02.08\00:37:05.18
And our logo is, "If it's
in the Bible I believe it,
00:37:05.21\00:37:09.67
if it's not in the
Bible it's not for me."
00:37:09.70\00:37:12.19
We stole that from
ShareHim. Oh, that's good.
00:37:12.22\00:37:15.84
But it's a good
slogan we love it
00:37:15.87\00:37:18.25
and we had such
a wonderful time.
00:37:18.28\00:37:20.13
The Lord is just so
good, He really is so good.
00:37:20.16\00:37:23.12
And we have our prayer here.
00:37:23.15\00:37:25.24
And some of our church members,
00:37:25.27\00:37:27.25
we have a sister
from-- she is Nepalese.
00:37:27.28\00:37:29.06
Okay.
00:37:29.09\00:37:30.14
She is also part of
our church plant as well.
00:37:30.17\00:37:33.84
So the neighbors have
not been offended by this,
00:37:33.87\00:37:37.70
they've really liked
00:37:37.73\00:37:38.77
what's happening
in the neighborhood?
00:37:38.80\00:37:40.21
They enjoyed it.
00:37:40.24\00:37:41.28
They said, you
know we are so happy
00:37:41.31\00:37:43.56
that you are here doing this
00:37:43.59\00:37:44.62
because nothing's
happened in this community
00:37:44.65\00:37:47.10
on this block since 1975.
00:37:47.13\00:37:50.41
So it look like this
street was closed off.
00:37:50.44\00:37:53.32
Yes, I had to
get a permit. Okay.
00:37:53.35\00:37:56.14
And our older men
in my neighborhood
00:37:56.17\00:38:00.86
we got a block party permit,
00:38:00.89\00:38:03.72
we blocked off
each end of the street
00:38:03.75\00:38:05.90
and the children
came from allover,
00:38:05.93\00:38:08.22
people just
came from everywhere.
00:38:08.25\00:38:09.52
We had music, you
can hear the music
00:38:09.55\00:38:11.04
for two or three blocks.
00:38:11.07\00:38:12.10
Okay.
00:38:12.13\00:38:13.16
We had a big bounce
house for the children,
00:38:13.19\00:38:15.69
free food, free snacks,
00:38:15.72\00:38:17.47
oh, man, I think we
gave away so many raisins.
00:38:17.50\00:38:19.81
I can't tell you
00:38:19.84\00:38:21.01
how many raisins and
cranberries that we have.
00:38:21.04\00:38:23.79
But we gave away
healthy snacks and food,
00:38:23.82\00:38:26.58
it was very, very nice,
we had a wonderful time.
00:38:26.61\00:38:29.16
How do you finance all of that?
00:38:29.19\00:38:31.84
Well, out of our own
pocket or if there is anything
00:38:31.87\00:38:34.88
that we need our
conferences there to support us,
00:38:34.91\00:38:38.00
through church plant
funds if we need that
00:38:38.03\00:38:40.08
but most of the majority
of time my husband and I--
00:38:40.11\00:38:42.93
we provide you
know, everything ourselves
00:38:42.96\00:38:45.70
or through our food pantry,
00:38:45.73\00:38:47.31
we have items that we can
use to help defray the calls,
00:38:47.34\00:38:51.07
with things we do that as well.
00:38:51.10\00:38:53.56
Okay.
00:38:53.59\00:38:54.76
Exciting, we're
very, very exciting,
00:38:54.79\00:38:56.74
we're mission minded church,
and we love our community.
00:38:56.77\00:39:01.22
And like I said most
of our church members
00:39:01.25\00:39:03.16
are right in our community,
our next door neighbors.
00:39:03.19\00:39:05.68
Wow.
00:39:05.71\00:39:06.74
That look like it
was an exciting event
00:39:06.77\00:39:08.96
for your neighborhood.
00:39:08.99\00:39:10.02
Yes, it was a lot of work
but it was very, very nice.
00:39:10.05\00:39:14.69
And I want to thank
all the other members
00:39:14.72\00:39:17.13
and ministries
from all the other
00:39:17.16\00:39:18.43
Adventist
churches they came out.
00:39:18.46\00:39:20.25
And see what we wanted to do,
00:39:20.28\00:39:21.56
we did the block
party to introduce ourselves
00:39:21.59\00:39:24.72
as a new church
plant to our community,
00:39:24.75\00:39:27.37
to let them know
that we were there.
00:39:27.40\00:39:29.28
And where they
can come in worship
00:39:29.31\00:39:30.71
if they wanted Bible study
00:39:30.74\00:39:32.58
and we end up getting
at least 21 Bible studies
00:39:32.61\00:39:35.47
out of that block party.
00:39:35.50\00:39:36.64
Wow. Yes.
00:39:36.67\00:39:37.89
Okay. Very nice.
00:39:37.92\00:39:39.88
And who's going to
follow up with the Bible study?
00:39:39.91\00:39:42.57
I have done it already as well.
00:39:42.60\00:39:44.88
And the good part
is, I'm training everyone
00:39:44.91\00:39:48.61
in our church plant
to be Bible workers,
00:39:48.64\00:39:51.12
whether you're young or old
you're gonna be a Bible worker.
00:39:51.15\00:39:53.94
And so when we
get those names in
00:39:53.97\00:39:56.11
it's not gonna be
all my responsibility.
00:39:56.14\00:39:58.22
I'm gonna spread those names out
00:39:58.25\00:39:59.96
for every body
throughout the church
00:39:59.99\00:40:01.42
and young or old
00:40:01.45\00:40:02.77
everybody is gonna win
souls for Jesus Christ.
00:40:02.80\00:40:05.03
All right.
00:40:05.06\00:40:06.20
Well, Diane and I
involved in Prison Ministry.
00:40:06.23\00:40:08.68
Okay.
00:40:08.71\00:40:09.98
And something that
Lord kind of let us to
00:40:10.01\00:40:12.47
and open the door
for us to be involved in
00:40:12.50\00:40:15.30
and just recently we have gotten
00:40:15.33\00:40:19.48
some product from
Christmas Behind Bars.
00:40:19.51\00:40:23.39
Okay.
00:40:23.42\00:40:24.46
Lemuel Vega I know
if you've heard of him.
00:40:24.49\00:40:26.57
No.
00:40:26.60\00:40:27.76
He started going
to one county jail
00:40:27.79\00:40:31.60
with the little gift package.
00:40:31.63\00:40:33.26
And it's grown to now he
does about 45,000 a year.
00:40:33.29\00:40:37.03
Oh, wow.
00:40:37.06\00:40:38.09
Well, I'm just--
I'm thinking out loud
00:40:38.12\00:40:40.62
this isn't
anything we've rehearsed
00:40:40.65\00:40:42.38
but we had a little gift box.
00:40:42.41\00:40:47.11
It's about to
size of a cracker box
00:40:47.14\00:40:49.34
and little thicker maybe
for a particularly prison
00:40:49.37\00:40:54.26
that didn't give
it, didn't accept it.
00:40:54.29\00:40:57.72
So I have about
2,000, 2,500 gift boxes.
00:40:57.75\00:41:02.33
Amen.
00:41:02.36\00:41:03.40
Do you think your church
plant would be interested?
00:41:03.43\00:41:05.94
I will-- we
will love to do that.
00:41:05.97\00:41:08.38
And getting
involved in a prison ministry
00:41:08.41\00:41:09.83
somewhere there area--
00:41:09.86\00:41:10.89
Oh, that would be nice.
00:41:10.92\00:41:12.16
And we could
provide some gift boxes.
00:41:12.19\00:41:14.32
I appreciate that.
00:41:14.35\00:41:15.40
I did prison
ministry for a year and half.
00:41:15.43\00:41:17.76
Okay.
00:41:17.79\00:41:18.83
In Clayton in
St. Louis. All right.
00:41:18.86\00:41:21.02
I really enjoyed it, it
was a really experience.
00:41:21.05\00:41:23.43
We were able to help some people
00:41:23.46\00:41:25.66
when they were
released from prison,
00:41:25.69\00:41:27.93
with transitional housing
items and things in the area
00:41:27.96\00:41:30.36
but we will love that, we
are new church plant were open.
00:41:30.39\00:41:33.31
Okay.
00:41:33.34\00:41:34.38
We need prayers, we
look at differ location
00:41:34.41\00:41:38.26
where we can
have worship service,
00:41:38.29\00:41:41.12
we're needing
donations of any sort,
00:41:41.15\00:41:43.53
we don't care if it's
food, clothing, personal items,
00:41:43.56\00:41:49.61
you know, it doesn't matter
but prayer we need the most.
00:41:49.64\00:41:54.12
But we're new
church and we're looking to
00:41:54.15\00:41:56.52
you know do great things.
00:41:56.55\00:41:57.95
So if you're in
the St. Louis area
00:41:57.98\00:42:01.32
and you want to get involved
in an exciting ministry,
00:42:01.35\00:42:05.16
or you want to be a part
00:42:05.19\00:42:06.22
of the church
that's just launching,
00:42:06.25\00:42:10.41
you need to get a hold of Lizzie
00:42:10.44\00:42:11.90
it's what you need to do.
00:42:11.93\00:42:13.46
And I'm not just sure
when we're gonna have the role
00:42:13.49\00:42:17.64
but we'll give you a chance to
00:42:17.67\00:42:19.46
be able to make
contact with Lizzie
00:42:19.49\00:42:21.93
and her ministry in a bit
00:42:21.96\00:42:24.15
and be sure and have something
ready to write that down
00:42:24.18\00:42:27.76
because I know that
you'll want to be involved.
00:42:27.79\00:42:31.60
And also want to
share the name of our church
00:42:31.63\00:42:34.50
is the Emmanuel
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:42:34.53\00:42:36.85
I love the name the
Emmanuel its God with us,
00:42:36.88\00:42:40.30
God is been
with us from day one.
00:42:40.33\00:42:43.11
And becoming a new
Seventh-day Adventist
00:42:43.14\00:42:46.88
bring a part of this
movement has changed my life.
00:42:46.91\00:42:49.79
And when I got into the church,
00:42:49.82\00:42:51.78
the new church
plant was Emmanuel.
00:42:51.81\00:42:54.03
And so when
Emmanuel church and New Life
00:42:54.06\00:42:57.56
Seventh-day Adventist
Church merged together.
00:42:57.59\00:42:59.99
Now in St. Louis are
called the Lighthouse
00:43:00.02\00:43:02.67
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:43:02.70\00:43:03.94
So with the new church
plant because Emmanuel was
00:43:03.97\00:43:06.94
where I started and
that was a part of me.
00:43:06.97\00:43:10.04
Yeah.
00:43:10.07\00:43:11.11
And since there was not
00:43:11.14\00:43:13.67
Emmanuel Seventh-day
Adventist Church at St. Louis
00:43:13.70\00:43:15.80
I just had to
bring it back, amen.
00:43:15.83\00:43:17.54
All right.
00:43:17.57\00:43:18.60
So that's why we got a name
00:43:18.63\00:43:19.83
Emmanuel
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:43:19.86\00:43:21.70

Dian, Lizzie was telling us
00:45:14.18\00:45:15.82
about her
Domestic Violence Ministry
00:45:15.85\00:45:19.71
to women with the best--
00:45:19.74\00:45:21.12
Yeah, we like to
hear more about that.
00:45:21.15\00:45:22.87
Yeah, tell us more about that.
00:45:22.90\00:45:24.11
Well, it's a very
interesting ministry.
00:45:24.14\00:45:28.51
It takes a lot of prayer. Yeah.
00:45:28.54\00:45:30.80
It's not always easy you know,
00:45:30.83\00:45:32.72
depends all the type
clients you're working with.
00:45:32.75\00:45:36.50
We get a lot of
calls here and there
00:45:36.53\00:45:38.12
throughout the
evening, sometimes where women
00:45:38.15\00:45:39.99
that are going to
domestic violence.
00:45:40.02\00:45:42.65
Believe it not you know,
sometimes they have children,
00:45:42.68\00:45:45.22
sometimes they
don't and you know,
00:45:45.25\00:45:47.58
sometimes you're
talking to a client
00:45:47.61\00:45:48.92
on the other end and you know,
00:45:48.95\00:45:50.77
you don't know what's
going on in the background,
00:45:50.80\00:45:53.25
you don't know if the
person is in safe place
00:45:53.28\00:45:56.00
or not at the
time, we've had victims
00:45:56.03\00:45:59.66
that have been actually killed
00:45:59.69\00:46:02.66
and murdered from their abusers.
00:46:02.69\00:46:06.08
What we try to do is
to come the situation,
00:46:06.11\00:46:10.29
we try to get the
victim out of the home
00:46:10.32\00:46:12.80
or separated from the
abuser, once we do that,
00:46:12.83\00:46:16.36
we try to find a safe location
00:46:16.39\00:46:17.78
where they can
meet to be picked up,
00:46:17.81\00:46:20.64
so they can be transferred
over to safe environment,
00:46:20.67\00:46:23.94
and they stay in that shelter.
00:46:23.97\00:46:26.12
Sometimes they have to
get their identity changed,
00:46:26.15\00:46:28.94
it depends on how
bad the situation,
00:46:28.97\00:46:32.40
the situation is.
00:46:32.43\00:46:33.69
How did they get your
number to even call you?
00:46:33.72\00:46:36.86
Knocking on doors. Okay.
00:46:36.89\00:46:39.44
I knock on doors,
I've done some radio.
00:46:39.47\00:46:42.15
Okay.
00:46:42.18\00:46:43.23
And we try to get
the ministry out there,
00:46:43.26\00:46:46.04
I went through all of
our Adventist churches
00:46:46.07\00:46:47.83
in St. Louis most of them
are aware of the ministry.
00:46:47.86\00:46:50.02
Okay.
00:46:50.05\00:46:51.09
Sad to say we do have
00:46:51.12\00:46:52.37
some victims of
domestic violence
00:46:52.40\00:46:54.67
or in our
Adventist churches as well.
00:46:54.70\00:46:57.10
And so we try to be a
support system to everyone
00:46:57.13\00:47:00.77
and so just knocking on
door with the food pantry
00:47:00.80\00:47:03.46
where meeting so
many different people.
00:47:03.49\00:47:05.05
I'm constantly passing out
my cards letting people know
00:47:05.08\00:47:08.32
about the services
that we have to offer.
00:47:08.35\00:47:10.74
And what's very important
and now just as Adventist
00:47:10.77\00:47:14.65
you know, we have to go
out, we have to knock on doors,
00:47:14.68\00:47:19.34
we have to let people
know what we have to offer.
00:47:19.37\00:47:21.38
Yeah.
00:47:21.41\00:47:22.44
And sometimes
people can't get to us
00:47:22.47\00:47:24.45
so we have to go to them
so every opportunity I get,
00:47:24.48\00:47:29.10
I get the message out there.
00:47:29.13\00:47:30.67
You never know and even
if that particular person
00:47:30.70\00:47:33.40
that I hand a card to,
00:47:33.43\00:47:34.94
they might not
ever need the card
00:47:34.97\00:47:37.06
but the card will come in handy
for family member or friend.
00:47:37.09\00:47:39.80
Yeah.
00:47:39.83\00:47:40.86
That might be going
to domestic violence.
00:47:40.89\00:47:42.65
So then that would mean
you would be serving men,
00:47:42.68\00:47:46.25
women and children.
00:47:46.28\00:47:47.54
Yes, we do serve men as well.
00:47:47.57\00:47:49.86
Sometimes we have
men, it's sad to say
00:47:49.89\00:47:52.28
but some people don't
believe it that they are men,
00:47:52.31\00:47:54.81
they are victims
of abuse as well.
00:47:54.84\00:47:57.62
But most majority
of the time its always
00:47:57.65\00:47:59.94
you know, the
women but it is you know,
00:47:59.97\00:48:02.32
we do have some
men and so we have them
00:48:02.35\00:48:04.83
as well with shelter, resources
00:48:04.86\00:48:07.55
or separate
themselves from the situation.
00:48:07.58\00:48:11.18
We also encourage
them and help them
00:48:11.21\00:48:14.49
get counseling, if
they are an abuser.
00:48:14.52\00:48:17.29
You know, and if
they want the help
00:48:17.32\00:48:19.08
we trying to make sure
that we provide that for them.
00:48:19.11\00:48:22.08
How do you get them
separated from the situation
00:48:22.11\00:48:24.94
when they give you
a call, how do you--
00:48:24.97\00:48:27.60
Well, we coach them
because we don't want
00:48:27.63\00:48:30.45
you know, anything bad to happen
00:48:30.48\00:48:31.81
we have to coach them on
when the best time to leave,
00:48:31.84\00:48:36.23
you know, when the best time to
00:48:36.26\00:48:39.38
you know to pack up
just keep the situation calm
00:48:39.41\00:48:42.68
because you don't want
anything to happen to them.
00:48:42.71\00:48:45.20
So you have to give
them the safe way to escape.
00:48:45.23\00:48:48.79
And sometimes
they has to be planned.
00:48:48.82\00:48:50.86
Right, it doesn't
always happen the minute
00:48:50.89\00:48:53.31
that they're
giving you the call?
00:48:53.34\00:48:54.93
No. It maybe a few days later.
00:48:54.96\00:48:56.38
Yes.
00:48:56.41\00:48:57.44
And you're coaching
them how to go about
00:48:57.47\00:48:59.20
getting extracted
from this dangerous?
00:48:59.23\00:49:01.55
Yes, and some
might be on the street
00:49:01.58\00:49:03.20
calling for someone's cell phone
00:49:03.23\00:49:04.72
and we can help
them quicker that way,
00:49:04.75\00:49:06.59
but if they're at home
and the abuser is there
00:49:06.62\00:49:09.90
we have to coach them on how
to make sure the situation is
00:49:09.93\00:49:13.92
you know come before
the exactly make that move.
00:49:13.95\00:49:16.90
Well, thank you, you know
00:49:16.93\00:49:17.97
we have another
music you want to tell us.
00:49:18.00\00:49:22.20
Okay, Darrell Marshall again
00:49:22.23\00:49:24.54
and he will be singing
"Because of Who You Are."
00:49:24.57\00:49:29.28
Amen. All right.
00:49:29.31\00:49:30.53
You spoke the words
00:49:36.44\00:49:38.84
And all the
worlds came into order
00:49:38.87\00:49:43.30
You waved Your hands
00:49:43.33\00:49:45.00
And planets
filled the empty skies
00:49:45.03\00:49:50.18
You placed the woman and
the man inside the garden
00:49:50.21\00:49:56.80
And though they fell they
found compassion in Your eyes
00:49:56.83\00:50:04.28
Oh Lord, I stand
amazed at the wonder of it all
00:50:04.31\00:50:11.21
Yet a greater wonder
brings me to my knees
00:50:11.24\00:50:17.28
Lord, I praise You,
because of who You are
00:50:17.31\00:50:24.13
Not for all the mighty
things that You have done
00:50:24.16\00:50:30.98
Lord, I worship You,
because of who You are
00:50:31.01\00:50:37.75
It's all the reason that
I need to voice my praise
00:50:37.78\00:50:43.75
Because of who You are
00:50:43.78\00:50:47.30
One holy night You set
Your promise from a virgin
00:50:51.43\00:50:57.90
Your promise grew as You
revealed to us Your heart
00:50:57.93\00:51:04.95
Enduring love displayed
through out Your crucifixion
00:51:04.98\00:51:11.68
And with Your death, You
tore the darken grave apart
00:51:11.71\00:51:19.08
Oh Lord, I stand
amazed at the wonder of it all
00:51:19.11\00:51:25.83
Yet a greater wonder
brings me to my knees
00:51:25.86\00:51:32.04
Lord, I praise You,
because of who You are
00:51:32.07\00:51:38.81
Not for all the mighty
needs that You have done
00:51:38.84\00:51:45.77
Lord, I worship You,
because of who You are
00:51:45.80\00:51:52.17
It's all the reason that
I need to voice my praise
00:51:52.20\00:51:59.25
Lord, I praise You
because of who You are
00:51:59.28\00:52:05.89
Not for all the mighty
needs that You have done
00:52:05.92\00:52:12.69
Lord, I worship You,
because of who You are
00:52:12.72\00:52:19.41
It's all the reason that
I need to voice my praise
00:52:19.44\00:52:25.65
Because of who You are
00:52:25.68\00:52:32.01
Because of who You are
00:52:32.04\00:52:38.87
Because of who You are
00:52:38.90\00:52:44.45
