00:51 Mending broken people
01:08 Hello and welcome to 3ABN Today.
01:11 My name is C.A. Murray
01:12 and thank you once again for sharing
01:13 just a little of your day with us.
01:16 And we've got a really great program
01:18 to share with you today.
01:20 Our good friend David Canther is back
01:21 and we always are very, very please
01:23 and happy to have David with us.
01:24 Good to see you, man.
01:26 Praise God and glad to be back.
01:27 Yeah, his ministry ACTS has grown exponentially there
01:31 I say since when last you're here.
01:33 You're on collage compass is now.
01:35 You're an adjunct professor teaching some of the things
01:38 that God has given you
01:41 as part your spiritual legacy there I say.
01:44 And I need to sort of work my way through this before
01:47 we introduce our young people because ACTS
01:50 is the corporate title of the ministry.
01:54 Define for me what is Global Rapid Rescue Relief?
01:59 That's a very good question.
02:00 God is truly expanded the ministry.
02:03 Yeah, that patch was isn't there last time.
02:04 It was ACTS, that's a new patch
02:06 you got on your shoulder.
02:07 So ACTS World Relief is our non-profit foundation
02:10 that helps fund our deployments.
02:12 I see. When people give contributions.
02:14 Because we're not funded by any other entity
02:17 or the church or whatever.
02:18 And so GR3 is a new division that has to do
02:22 with our first responders of which Heritage Academy
02:25 is actually have trained a first response group
02:28 along with many other adults and as you mentioned
02:31 even doctors taking a special fellowship
02:34 from Harvard University through what they called
02:37 the Beth Israel concept
02:39 of Disaster Management and Emergency Response.
02:43 So I take out a lot of people under the GR3,
02:47 Global Rapid Rescue and Relief so that means
02:49 first responder and our training division.
02:52 So then thirdly the other division we broken it down
02:55 to into now is actually all our equipment like our,
02:59 mobile kitchens, we can feed 50,000 meals a day.
03:02 Trying to specialize though in vegetarian, vegan meals,
03:06 Kosher diabetic meals, so that's rescue
03:09 or you will see that name on a lot of our kitchens now.
03:11 So that's a separate division of equipment.
03:13 Yeah, I'm looking at your business-card this is
03:15 one of the more crowded business-card that
03:17 I've ever seen because you've got so many facets
03:20 to your ministry
03:21 and they all represented on this one card.
03:23 So well done David, and God is blessing you to move
03:25 into other areas obviously and the fact that you're taking
03:28 and training doctors.
03:29 Who don't I suspect get a lot of training
03:32 in disaster response,
03:35 that's not part of the curriculum
03:36 as I know it to be, so you really introducing them
03:39 to a whole new area of service
03:40 that they can use through out their lives.
03:42 So well done.
03:43 Now we get to introduce our handsome young man
03:48 and lovely young lady from Heritage Academy.
03:51 And-- we-- this is a second of two programs
03:53 that we've done with them.
03:54 And again I'm so very, very impressed that Heritage
03:58 has seen fit to partner with you and with FEMA
04:01 and other agencies to train the young people
04:03 to do something that can really be a benefit
04:05 for the rest of their lives.
04:07 Really, really great.
04:09 First let's say, we've got Laura Sutton.
04:11 Hi, Laura, how are you?
04:12 Hi, I'm doing very good. How about you?
04:14 Well, Laura, where are you from?
04:15 I'm originally form Michigan, right now I live at Tennessee.
04:18 My parents are actually working at Heritage Academy,
04:21 so I'm a staff kid.
04:22 Very-- a staff kid, yeah, I remember that before.
04:25 And Kevin Singh. Kevin, how are you?
04:27 Yes, sir. I'm well. Praise the Lord.
04:28 You are from?
04:29 I'm from Greeneville, Tennessee.
04:30 Greeneville, Tennessee. Yes.
04:31 You are not to too far away.
04:32 Yeah, but two hours from Minneapolis.
04:34 Great great.
04:36 Adventist home both of you I suspect.
04:38 Let me ask you this question,
04:41 it is one thing and it will make a great assumption here,
04:45 it is one thing grow up in an Adventist home.
04:47 Growing up in an Adventist home dose it make you Adventist,
04:50 doest it necessarily make you Christian
04:52 and does it make you one with Christ.
04:56 Yet in just observing you, I think you have
04:59 a working relationship with Jesus.
05:01 When did that happen for you personally?
05:03 Not fall out from your parents or go on a Church,
05:06 when did you come to know Christ for yourself.
05:09 Me or Kevin?
05:11 Let's go with you, ladies first. Okay.
05:14 Well, actually you know, like you said, you know,
05:16 I been raised in the Adventist church,
05:17 so you know, knowing other belief and actually like
05:19 separating what you believe form what your parents believe
05:21 and that probably happened for me
05:24 significantly my first year at Heritage Academy,
05:26 I came here as a freshman I'm now junior.
05:28 And just experiencing a different side of Adventism
05:32 that I hadn't really seen which is more of an active
05:34 serving part of Adventism and that really encouraged me
05:37 in my relationship with Christ.
05:39 Also we had a couple of guest speakers that came in
05:42 and just actually realizing you know,
05:44 what it ment to these people to have a personal
05:46 relationship with Jesus made me want it
05:48 and want to experience it.
05:49 Well, said. Kevin?
05:51 Well, this is my first year at Heritage,
05:54 I also a junior but when I was a freshmen
05:57 in my last school I decided to make decision for Lord
06:01 just seeing and I actually started paying attention
06:05 to sermons, I actually seeing how our God's love for me.
06:11 And that's when I made decision to be baptized
06:13 and also being here at Heritage which is my first year,
06:17 its actually helping strengthen my relationship
06:19 also because, seeing we had guest-- we've guest speakers
06:22 and the spiritual aspect there has also
06:24 really helped also.
06:27 This is going to be a very much a hands on show
06:31 and tell kind of a show but I want to ask you just
06:33 one request before I get back you David because Laura,
06:36 you alluded us something that I talked
06:38 with some other Heritage students on another program
06:44 and that is that doing hands on,
06:48 helping people in a very real intangible way
06:50 does something to strengthen your relationship,
06:54 you faith, expound on that just a little bit for me.
06:56 Well, it does and when you're sharing
06:58 what you know, you get to know it better
07:02 because in order to share with someone you have to your stuff.
07:04 You know, so when you're trying to share Christ
07:06 to someone you get to know Christ better
07:08 because how can you share something
07:09 you don't know yourself?
07:10 Yeah, yeah.
07:11 How can you give something to someone else
07:12 when you haven't yourself experienced?
07:14 Could I just interject?
07:15 Laura is probably one our best training--
07:19 she is a train the trainer in many other things
07:21 which you're gonna see.
07:22 One aspect I'll throw her a little curve that she does
07:25 really well at is training in physiological first aid
07:28 emotional and spiritual care.
07:29 So beyond the technical she is always trying to train
07:33 this holistic package of meeting the persons
07:37 spiritual needs asking the right questions.
07:40 So my name David and your name is?
07:42 Laura.
07:43 And so Laura has role-played this with many students around
07:47 the country asking the right questions ultimately getting
07:50 to that spiritual center of how can she pray with them,
07:54 a pray of blessing.
07:56 And so that's a great dynamic part of the training
07:59 which she has learnt to share Christ.
08:00 Yeah. Yeah.
08:01 So part of your growth in Christ has been putting legs
08:05 on the things you kind of learn in class.
08:07 They can actually practical in the real world.
08:11 Yeah, same with you, Kevin?
08:12 Yeah. Yeah.
08:14 Okay, excellent.
08:15 Now let's swing it back to you David,
08:18 because obviously you developed a close working
08:20 relationship with this school and you seen
08:24 this I guess in real time that when people go out
08:27 and serve it does something to build
08:28 that who they are in Jesus.
08:29 Amen. Yeah.
08:31 And Laura and Kevin both and many other students
08:34 form Heritage are prime examples
08:36 that we have used them so much, so many times training,
08:40 we're gonna talk about in New York more they were
08:43 training together with about 11 different schools there
08:47 and 17 Bermuda all over the North East.
08:51 And then most recently several weeks ago down
08:53 to Orlando where they're training seven more
08:55 academies from around the Southern Union,
08:57 we're meeting the South Eastern part of the United States.
09:01 So to watch these students grown in Christ,
09:03 their confidence, their leadership abilities,
09:06 only happens when we empower them with the right skills,
09:10 the techniques, the things that help them to catch
09:13 the vision and then I mentor them to become those
09:16 excellent leaders which as a beautiful thing
09:19 develops their spirituality.
09:21 Yeah, yeah.
09:22 I see there is a direct connection with labor
09:25 for the Lord and relationship to the Lord.
09:27 That's right. They are linked.
09:28 And so you guys, are actually training people
09:31 all over North America certainly
09:32 and maybe and beyond.
09:35 How is it feel to be in that capacity to train
09:37 others to learn this stuff?
09:39 Yeah, it is a great honor to be able to go to these
09:42 different places and teach these people because
09:46 they, you know, we became the experts to teach them
09:50 to make help them to become the experts
09:52 and seeing that has helped us also.
09:56 Yeah, just out of curiosity, excuse me,
09:58 what do you want to do vocationally Laura,
10:01 for your, you know, for rest of your life?
10:03 Actually I'm going to go into teaching,
10:05 education and social worker.
10:07 Okay, she kind of reminds me of a teacher
10:09 all that you know, like a college professor
10:12 kind of, you know, kind of professor.
10:13 Kevin?
10:15 I like engineering and work with my hands
10:16 and also at Heritage we do have the flight program
10:19 and I do like airplanes so I was think like
10:21 maybe an aerospace engineer would be a cool occupation.
10:24 Yeah.
10:25 David, when you go out in response to
10:29 and your ministry unlike address
10:30 some other ministries is particularly
10:32 in response to disaster as supposed
10:35 to sort of long term digging wells and kind of things.
10:37 You are there for disaster relief.
10:41 How many have you been out on?
10:43 About 100 deployments through out the world.
10:46 So the Philippians responses one of the 3ABN has showed
10:49 many times as some of the viewers may recall,
10:52 but bringing in a lot of doctors of course,
10:54 the Haiti response we brought in 7,500 responders
10:58 within the first six months.
11:01 So we're known for training and then deploying
11:04 with safety and those techniques that are correct.
11:06 Would you like to see maybe just three little pictures
11:08 of a recent deployment right in Tennessee were heritage is?
11:13 So three quick pictures that helps illustrate they were
11:16 responding, Heritage is responded to about
11:19 34 deployments.
11:21 This one was in their backyard.
11:23 And so just three quick slides that helps show pictures.
11:28 Here is Laura, right out there in the road directing traffic.
11:31 I didn't recognize you with a hood on.
11:33 Okay.
11:34 Actually those students from Heritage used our chainsaw
11:37 trailer to-- the adults were doing the chain sawing
11:41 and the youth were removing it.
11:42 They cleared six miles of highway in about six hours.
11:45 That's incredible.
11:46 The next one shows distribution,
11:48 they actually were in charge of running the emergency
11:51 warehouse, distributing emergency supplies
11:54 and the next picture shows the kitchen in action,
11:57 this kitchen is one of an example.
11:59 Now it's one thing to cook when its warm out side.
12:02 Yeah.
12:03 But Heritage wanted that continued opportunity
12:06 to cook in nine degree weather.
12:09 And so now they are cooking 100s of meals for each meal
12:12 when your propane tanks are freezing,
12:14 all of your pipes are bursting,
12:16 but they overcame it, that's flexibility.
12:18 It's adapting to the situation and they truly gained
12:21 the respect of their leaders in their community
12:24 who wondered what they are all about.
12:26 But now saw them in action and doing a plurality of ways
12:30 that helped their community be able to recover
12:34 from that terrible storm.
12:35 Yeah, yeah.
12:37 Takes just a minute Laura and Kevin,
12:39 at the end of the day you've been working all day,
12:41 you're tired, you're hot, I don't say sweaty
12:43 but that didn't fit in this particular maybe it someone
12:47 about here, but you're tired,
12:48 you are hot you serve how do you feel as you accept
12:52 a call in a bed at night?
12:53 What's going on your head? How do you feel?
12:55 How does that level of service make you feel?
13:01 I know for some people, you know,
13:02 can be overwhelming you know, it can wear you out,
13:04 but at the same time it gives you a sense of being
13:07 needed in your community, and that's really empowering
13:11 to feel like you have a role to play in not only helping
13:15 their physical needs but also being able
13:16 to direct them to Christ.
13:18 Yeah, because normally we would go on-- on the road,
13:22 some where to a and we be there for a week
13:23 but this one is in own backyard and we are in there
13:25 for actually two weeks, and then we had
13:28 our spring break right after and but it would--
13:30 it did take a toll on the body
13:32 because we are working all day and early in the morning
13:36 and physical work and we do get tired and moral goes--
13:39 gets down a little but trusting the Lord
13:42 is one thing that our teachers
13:48 and our deans helped us
13:50 to when we have our worships
13:52 to really focus on that also, yeah.
13:56 Yeah, excellent. Did you feel? Did you sense?
14:00 Were you aware of any increase relationship
14:03 or friendliness or acceptance by the community
14:06 once you had sort of rolled up your sleeves and got busy?
14:11 Did it change relationship between the school
14:13 and the community?
14:14 Oh, yes, because we were actually-- when the people--
14:17 when we go out and there
14:18 and we actually talk with people
14:19 in the community, they be like
14:20 oh, you're from Heritage Academy
14:21 because now everyone knows us now,
14:23 and it also was a great witnessing opportunity
14:26 because, where you had the distribution center we would be
14:30 carrying boxes out to peoples cars with their food
14:32 and actually had the opportunity talk with
14:34 some other people and there also
14:36 they're talk about God and they would be more open
14:38 because of what's happened to them.
14:41 We might just expand a little bit where you are
14:43 going there even Elder Wilson,
14:44 the president of the General Conference
14:46 went out with me and others students
14:48 from Bass Academy two years
14:51 after Katrina had hit and longer
14:54 and we held some special meetings
14:56 that we are offering at Bass Academy.
14:57 We would knock on the door and would say, you know,
15:00 I don't know if you remember but several years ago
15:02 we were here in your community helping distributing
15:04 emergency supplies.
15:05 We just like to invite you to a special series
15:08 of you know, seminar that we are
15:09 having there at the academy in the church.
15:11 We're wondering if you would like to come.
15:13 We were signing up family after family,
15:15 because Jesus loved to meet the needs of people first,
15:18 then the hearts were opened.
15:20 Elder Wilson said, wow, this is powerful evangelism.
15:24 It's better than sending out fliers.
15:26 Oh, very much so.
15:27 It's better than trying to meet people
15:28 that you have never known.
15:29 This is what builds up confidence in you community
15:32 and that they are willing to listen
15:34 who is Heritage Academy.
15:35 Yeah, yeah, I think we first got to know you
15:37 during the Bass Academy, you are in Katrina
15:40 and we sort of developed that friendship
15:42 and you been here several times
15:43 since but as I said, before your ministry
15:45 has grown exponentially and God has blessed.
15:48 I want to do something real quick little commercial
15:50 for you, David.
15:51 Because you got two books "First Response,
15:55 Change Your World Through Acts of Love,"
15:57 and I think that's fabulous,
15:59 acts of love and then you have this in Spanish also.
16:02 Yes. Primeros Auxilios. Yes.
16:05 Yeah, my wife would be very ashamed of me.
16:07 Well, a lot of the training which actually we do
16:09 is in a lot of Central and South American countries.
16:13 So the Spanish one comes in very helpful and our growing
16:15 population in the US, but I was in Mexico
16:18 just a few weeks ago training 400 master guides,
16:22 they were gonna talk about in a moment.
16:23 But the beautiful thing is when we could be able to
16:26 give them tools that help them power them
16:29 to help go back and create the enthusiasm in their days
16:32 so their churches can grow in their community.
16:35 Praise the Christ.
16:36 When you trained, our churches groups that you go
16:39 to are they generally very receptive?
16:41 Do they see how this is an opening door
16:44 to almost any kind of evangelism
16:45 you want to do.
16:46 You kind of put legs on you faith
16:48 and you go to the streets and then people are
16:50 so much more accepted.
16:51 Do you get that as you go around?
16:54 I was a pastor for 32 years, primarily in Florida.
16:57 We did a lot of creative evangelism
16:58 but then I started doing more in emergency
17:01 response training.
17:02 Since I do that full time now,
17:04 it is exciting to me the fulfillment
17:06 which is see in not only younger youth
17:09 but older young adult,
17:11 individuals they go wow, that is something
17:15 that I can be able to use the talents that God
17:18 has given to me to go out and train others
17:21 and it leads to emotional and spiritual care.
17:24 It's a wonderful tool that God is using in the last days
17:27 because there are more and more natural disasters happening.
17:31 And God says, get prepared now.
17:33 And as we prepare them and they get in equipped
17:36 it's tremendous to see the multiplication of our adults
17:41 and youth around the world saying,
17:43 that's something I can do to help people now.
17:45 Yeah, yeah, what exciting about this,
17:47 as you look at the prophetic landscape this kind of thing
17:51 is gonna be happening more and more.
17:52 That's right. So the need is gonna increase.
17:54 You know, as and the fact that you are getting
17:56 young people, particularly millennia's involved
17:59 who we are-- people are saying, entitled and they have this
18:03 entitled thing that they are saying yeah,
18:05 we want to serve, you know, we want to get our hands dirty,
18:08 we want to get in there and help and lift up
18:10 in the name of Jesus.
18:11 And the fact that they are-- they are excited
18:13 so it excites someone like me because you see,
18:15 that the torch is being passed
18:16 to a group of young people who really care.
18:18 And I'm sure you see that on a daily basis.
18:20 Really is.
18:21 Let me show you just a few quick little pictures
18:23 of some training and then we are gonna put you
18:25 on the spot and I'm gonna ask Laura
18:27 she could train to train you and on the spot
18:29 on saving the infants life.
18:32 All right? Okay.
18:33 All right, so just a couple of quick pictures
18:35 that shows some training.
18:36 Here they are showing
18:37 the very infant that you see here.
18:38 This was in Mexico, just last week training
18:41 400 master guides, another illustration shows
18:45 some of the simulation training.
18:47 Once that you have done a lot of the training
18:49 of the technical then we want to train them in things like
18:52 you see here, here is a guy caught under a vehicle.
18:55 We want them to apply the techniques
18:57 that they have learnt.
18:58 The next picture shows another illustration
19:01 of Heritage doing some of the moulage
19:03 we call the makeup in French so that it's very real to them.
19:08 They are going to acted out and they must perform
19:10 the techniques they have learnt very well.
19:12 So that gives you just a little idea of you know,
19:14 some of the training that takes place
19:17 and some of the master guides around the world
19:19 that and adults that we've trained
19:20 around the world.
19:21 You know, it occurs to me that's almost--
19:23 that's a perfect place to start with pathfinder department
19:26 and mater guides.
19:29 Not only just to get an honor but to get skills
19:31 that you can use in life, life skills, you know,
19:34 kind of thing really, really great.
19:36 They love it. I'm ready.
19:37 Are you ready? Yeah, let's go to work.
19:38 Okay, so we're gonna ask Laura to take the lead on this
19:41 and can you teach C.A., how to save this infants life.
19:44 Well, let me try. Yeah.
19:45 Okay, so-- Hope that the patient lives.
19:47 Yeah.
19:49 So, with the manikins we use,
19:52 we're gonna want to turn it on before we use it, okay.
19:54 And that you want to keep your compressions
19:58 consistence and deep enough so you don't want the red light
20:02 to come on, that means you killed it.
20:04 You don't want the yellow light to come on,
20:06 that's not good either.
20:07 So the objective is to get the two green lights
20:11 to light up like this, okay.
20:13 One of the big things that we're teaching
20:14 when we're going through and teaching
20:16 this to students is teamwork when it comes to CPR
20:20 because CPR can be very tiring.
20:22 You get worn-out really quickly.
20:23 So one of the big things we're emphasizing that it is
20:26 teamwork how to switch off from one person to other,
20:27 so that's what I'm gonna teach you.
20:28 Okay. Okay. All right.
20:30 So I'm gonna be giving the compressions and when you--
20:33 You got the green lights? Yeah, that's the green lights.
20:34 Okay, when you go to switch off,
20:36 you're gonna want to put your hands up underneath her.
20:38 Oh, yeah. I'm gonna count to three.
20:40 One, two, three, and you're gonna take over.
20:43 There you go, green color.
20:45 Patient lived. Yes.
20:47 Yep and that's-- Okay.
20:49 So you want to-- the thing is you don't want to break
20:50 the rhythm that you established
20:52 because if you stop, sure enough.
20:55 Well, you keep going and then it goes--
20:56 The red light goes off, okay, already.
20:57 Well done. Thank you so much.
20:59 So we try to use
21:00 some of the best training devices out today.
21:03 These are called Prestan Manikins.
21:05 We have many adult manikins.
21:07 If you're teaching choking, you are teaching CPR,
21:10 RCP in Spanish, of training on the best equipment
21:14 available today and that's what many of these students
21:17 have learned on, so they can teach with the right tools.
21:21 Now your training is an addition to what they may
21:23 get from FEMA or some other--
21:25 The foundation of training actually
21:27 from GR3 ACTS World Relief is they, all every year,
21:31 all the students in their academy
21:32 for example go online.
21:34 They take ICS that's Incident Command Systems,
21:37 100, 200, 700, 800, so then CERT online.
21:43 So in another words they are gaining a foundation
21:45 that a lot of emergency professionals
21:47 are required to take.
21:49 So they can relate to them in deployments,
21:51 CERT training.
21:52 They go wow, you are ICS trained.
21:53 You understand Incident Command Systems
21:56 and so with that foundation they all have to pass things
22:00 that many adults say,
22:01 oh, that's too hard, it's too boring.
22:03 But that's what they do. They do it well.
22:05 And now this is technical training.
22:07 On top of that we have nine modules
22:09 that we've developed.
22:10 What I've done is paid
22:12 many leading world organizations
22:15 who excel in things like water rescue.
22:18 We're gonna ask Kevin to demonstrate maybe that now,
22:21 but the training module that they have learned
22:23 to go through is training on the technical things
22:26 from the world's best organizations
22:28 who I've purchased their materials,
22:30 designed them for GR3 and now they can do a pretest,
22:34 posttest and then get their hands to show,
22:37 are you getting the particle part.
22:39 So Kevin is going to illustrate water rescue.
22:43 Water rescue we might add flooding is the number one
22:47 cause of deaths around the world now.
22:50 Increased rains and mudslides happening
22:52 and so would you like to teach C.A.,
22:55 and have him learn a little bit about water rescue.
23:00 Well, with water rescue there's also a few hands
23:02 signals that you have to do.
23:05 This-- can you help me here? Okay.
23:09 So, Laurel, what are some hand signals
23:10 with water rescue?
23:11 Okay.
23:12 So when you pat yourself on the head like this,
23:14 that means you're okay.
23:15 It's okay, don't throw the bag until you see this.
23:19 Okay. Let me just stop you.
23:21 A rescuer, someone who's there to save me
23:23 would recognize that, that's what I'm saying.
23:25 So he's trained to recognize that as, okay.
23:28 Or even yells out to tell them these signals
23:31 so he understands.
23:32 Ah, I see, okay. What's the another one?
23:34 Yeah, stop which is universal term stop.
23:37 And also if you need medical you have the medical symbol.
23:40 So in other words you don't you throw the rescue device
23:42 to them if they are doing this or if they are doing that.
23:46 Okay. Good. Yeah.
23:48 Well, we have our throw bag here
23:50 and what you want to do is,
23:51 you have, you want to hold this part
23:53 in your left hand here.
23:55 And we're gonna do an underhand throw.
23:57 Well, one thing that you do, what you want to do is
23:59 a throw at upstream and you also want to go over
24:02 the person because if you don't want to fall short.
24:06 So I'm gonna-- So you're gonna hold it here
24:09 and then you're throw underhand.
24:11 Make sure you don't hit anyone and then you throw it
24:13 like that and then they will grab it and they will put it
24:17 behind them and then you pull them in.
24:20 They would turn around-- Yeah.
24:21 So that they are being pulled backwards
24:23 with the rope over their right shoulder.
24:25 Yes, yes.
24:26 Also you want them facing away from you.
24:27 Correct.
24:29 If they just grab it and they pull forward,
24:31 what happens, Laura?
24:32 It drags them under and drown.
24:34 They would drown and--
24:35 And turning around to keep your head up.
24:36 Correct, yeah. Yes. Yes.
24:38 Yeah. Yeah.
24:39 See little thing, I say throw your face so I can see
24:41 your eyes.
24:42 I'm telling you. Well done.
24:44 Well done.
24:45 So that just gives you a little idea.
24:47 Now in the next segment right after the song,
24:50 would you like to see a little bit
24:51 more training by some of you?
24:52 Yeah, really would, really would.
24:54 This is exciting. And so you're--
24:58 You guys are in New York
24:59 a couple of years ago for the big storm there?
25:03 Actually they deployed in New Jersey for Sandy.
25:06 For Sandy, yeah, yeah.
25:08 It was as much-- it was New York, New Jersey,
25:11 Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island,
25:14 just what everything up there was impacted by that.
25:16 So you had chance actually to do,
25:18 to do some of these things.
25:20 Yeah, yeah, that is really, really exciting.
25:23 And as we said before, so very, very necessary.
25:28 Now let me ask you this.
25:29 Once you get on scene, I mean, you come in there,
25:32 you're eager to help, there are already government
25:35 individuals there.
25:36 What can you say or what would you say
25:38 so that they know, you know what you're doing?
25:41 Because one of the things you don't want
25:43 is a lot of people who don't have training,
25:45 don't know what they are doing,
25:46 who are willing but don't have the skill because that
25:48 just makes it worse for the government people,
25:49 then you get into this adversary
25:51 kind of relationship.
25:52 But what did you say so that I would know right away,
25:55 oh, yeah, Laura knows what she's doing.
25:57 Tell me about that.
25:58 So you've asked an excellent question.
26:01 Let's illustrate it with super storm Sandy.
26:04 Immediately as it's typically,
26:06 they will begin putting on the television,
26:08 volunteers not needed.
26:10 They don't need a bunch of world meaning
26:11 volunteers coming into a disaster
26:13 because this leads to more disaster.
26:15 And so what I began doing was contacting all kinds of--
26:19 and New Jersey was very strong with CERT trained
26:22 the trainers, probably more than any other state,
26:24 lot of CERT trained individuals,
26:26 adults that worked with the Emergency Operation Center.
26:28 So I began reaching out to them.
26:30 And I said, we have 60 youth who are CERT trained
26:34 would you need their assistance?
26:36 And he said, you have 60 that are CERT trained?
26:40 I said yes, they are within 30 minutes of you
26:43 and they are willing to help assist in anyway.
26:46 And he said, I will make a phone call.
26:48 Right now I will meet their boss and I would like them
26:52 to assist the National Guard.
26:55 Now keep in mind, they were turning away people
26:56 by the thousands.
26:58 But immediately because of the training
27:01 they said we need your help now.
27:03 So what did you do with super storm Sandy
27:06 that you kind of got involved with National Guard?
27:09 With super storm Sandy they had a lot of boxes
27:12 of MRE's which are meals ready to eat.
27:15 They use them in the army.
27:16 You just from a packet you break it and it keeps it up.
27:18 So they needed to move all of these from the school
27:22 into a warehouse.
27:23 So we got there.
27:25 When we went on to Sandy we got into the place
27:28 where we're staying, really late,
27:29 I think 2 o'clock in the morning
27:30 something like that and we got up early around six
27:33 the next morning to go and start responding.
27:37 And they gave us this task which I don't know
27:39 how many boxes we must have moved.
27:41 Many pallets. Yeah.
27:42 We were there from like
27:45 10 until like 12 at night, I believe it was.
27:48 So what the Emergency Operation Center told me,
27:52 the students are moving pallets of these MRE's
27:55 at a phenomenal rate and they accomplish
27:58 that within about six hours and basically they said
28:02 it would have taken us a week and half to accomplish
28:05 what they did in a short time.
28:07 So it's that type of energy that youth have.
28:11 They want to be used if rightly trained.
28:13 I want to hear, so if they can trust that you know
28:15 what you're doing, you're gonna be a help not a hinder.
28:18 Yes. Yeah, very good.
28:20 Have you been called-- we know you were in Tennessee
28:23 taking care of your own town.
28:24 You know, when you were in any place else?
28:26 Well, we were too up to hurricane Sandy,
28:28 I did, that was my freshman year.
28:30 We've had several different, not necessarily deployments
28:33 to respond to disasters, but several different trainings
28:36 that we've done.
28:37 Last year my sophomore year we went up to Boston
28:40 and we helped train some of the Harvard medical professional
28:44 there doing a disaster simulation.
28:46 We went up there to do moulage for them
28:48 and different things like that
28:49 and we got to participate in that.
28:51 We also went to New York at the beginning of this year
28:53 and did some training there, similar to the training
28:56 we did on, down in Florida which was train the trainer
28:59 where we worked with like 15 different schools up there
29:03 helping train their young peoples
29:04 so they can train other young people
29:06 and thus empowering them to serve.
29:08 And then we also did that down in Florida.
29:09 Great.
29:10 You mentioned this before and sort of brush by moulage.
29:13 What is that term mean?
29:15 Moulage is where you take a healthy person and make them
29:19 look wounded.
29:21 So it's kind of an art even if it is
29:24 kind of a disgusting art.
29:27 It's to reenact disaster simulation,
29:30 so it looks real.
29:31 So it's easier for them to respond in a real way.
29:33 In a real way, yeah, yeah, excellent, excellent.
29:36 And that's why they ask her just to do the moulage
29:38 at the training she was mentioning even up
29:40 at the Harvard, with Boston,
29:41 because of how professionally they do it.
29:44 Heritage also for a number of years has done that
29:47 in Orlando for the Orlando International Airport,
29:49 all the moulage.
29:50 So these youth can do even better than adults
29:54 with moulage and training and build that confidence.
29:58 So we love to be able to share the vision
30:01 of how you can do even better what adults do.
30:03 They rise to the challenge and God uses them.
30:05 Yeah.
30:06 I'm curious how and before we go to our song
30:08 and make our little switch here,
30:10 how did you get contact
30:12 or connected with Harvard to get access to their
30:15 physicians who certainly need this kind of training?
30:17 Actually the connection came when we're doing
30:21 the Orlando International Airport,
30:23 a number of different opportunities when I'm dealing
30:25 with a lot of emergency personnel.
30:27 This particular degree that they attract,
30:29 it's a largest fellowship in the world on Emergency
30:32 Management Disaster Response.
30:34 They said, okay, we know that technically,
30:37 medically correct things to do.
30:39 But what we need is experience in the field
30:41 and you've been on a lot of deployments.
30:43 So we want that experience for docs.
30:46 So when they go back to their country,
30:47 they can lead the country as medical directorate.
30:50 They need that practical experience.
30:53 Well, people like here Heritage, other schools,
30:55 many schools we've deployed over two--
30:57 well, actually about 280,000 volunteers.
31:00 So basically they said, we want to go with you
31:04 and that's how God has opened the door to involving down
31:07 around the world.
31:08 Praise the Lord. Well done.
31:10 Thank you both so very, very much.
31:12 We want to go to our music at this time and we're gonna
31:16 bring on two more guests.
31:18 Our message of music is coming this day
31:20 from Valerie Walker, Valerie Shelton Walker,
31:23 and she's gonna be singing "Even in the Valley."
31:43 High upon this mountain
31:47 The sun is shining bright
31:50 My heart is filled With gladness
31:55 Here above the cares of life
31:59 But I've just come Through the valley
32:03 Of trouble fear and pain
32:07 It was there I came to know my God
32:12 Enough to stand and say...
32:18 Even in the valley God is good
32:26 Even in the valley
32:30 He is faithful and true
32:34 He carries His children through
32:39 Like He said He would
32:43 Even in the valley God is good
32:59 This road of life has lead you
33:03 To a valley of defeat
33:07 You wonder if the Father
33:11 Has heard your desperate plea
33:15 There is hope In that rugged place
33:20 Where tears of sorrow dwell
33:24 Can't you hear Him Gently whispering
33:28 I'm here and all is well
33:34 Even in the valley
33:38 God is good
33:43 Even in the valley
33:46 He is faithful and true
33:51 He carries His children through
33:55 Like He said He would
33:59 Even in the valley God is good
34:13 God is good
34:21 Thank you, Valerie Walker. Well done.
34:23 "Even in the valley God is good."
34:25 Well, we've made a little change.
34:27 Well, David, you are the one consistent who is here
34:29 but we've got-- let's see Rebecca Nelson
34:32 and Derek Onjukka.
34:34 Yes, Onjukka.
34:35 Onjukka, good to have you both here.
34:37 Rebecca, where are you from?
34:39 I'm from New York City, Queens.
34:40 All right. Queens, New York.
34:42 Oh, my pastored too short of Queens,
34:45 Springfield Gardens and out in Far Rockaway.
34:48 Okay. So I know Queens quite well.
34:50 And Derek, you are from where?
34:52 I live in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.
34:55 Okay.
34:58 I know that's in north.
34:59 I haven't been to Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.
35:01 Good to have you guys, here.
35:02 And I've asked all of the students,
35:05 so I would ask you that question
35:06 also before we get into, what we've got to do
35:07 and it moves us kind of quickly.
35:10 Why did you choose Heritage, Rebecca?
35:12 Well, you know growing up in New York its really busy,
35:16 life is, you know, really hectic all the time.
35:18 And I think, I went to a conference school,
35:23 an Adventist conference school as a freshman
35:26 but I didn't feel like I was growing close to God.
35:29 I mean just city life and everything.
35:31 I just didn't feel like connection and I think God
35:34 led me to Heritage Academy.
35:35 I've heard of it from a friend and when I went to visit,
35:38 I was like, I think this is where God wants me to be.
35:41 And I really felt like I just grew so much more spiritually.
35:44 So it was a conscious decision for a spiritual growth?
35:46 Yes.
35:47 Yeah, because I chaired the Board of Northeastern
35:49 Academy for many years and Greater New York Academy
35:51 is right there in Queens.
35:53 So I know them both quite well,
35:55 but they are city schools and nowhere to get around it.
35:58 They are city schools and crowed
35:59 and you got all that New York stuff to deal with.
36:02 So you were able to find God little easier
36:04 and little better at Heritage.
36:05 Yeah, definitely. All right, Derek?
36:07 Well, my brother actually was the first one who found out
36:10 about Heritage and he wanted to go there
36:12 because of their flight program that they offer.
36:14 So I kind of came as a tagalong,
36:16 so I'm not really sure it was, you know,
36:17 what I was gonna do there.
36:18 But I felt God was you know calling me to be there
36:21 and I had no idea how much I would learn there
36:24 and how much closer I would come to God.
36:26 So yeah, I think it's, you know,
36:28 His divine plan that He used my brother, you know,
36:30 and his interest in the flight program to bring me
36:32 there and to do what I do there now.
36:34 So that I suspect you both kind of agree that being
36:37 at Heritage as far as part of your spiritual growth
36:39 it's positive?
36:40 Yes. Most definitely.
36:41 Yeah. Great, great.
36:42 Now, David, we got some stuff to go through here,
36:44 don't we?
36:46 Yeah, we better, before our time gets away.
36:48 We had a lot of fun in the last segment
36:49 with some training and now these are
36:52 a couple more of our expert train the trainers.
36:55 We're gonna ask if Derek could be able to train you
36:59 on doing something that's very, very important
37:02 and that is how to prevent chocking
37:04 or help somebody who is chocking,
37:06 'cause you only got 45 seconds to get whatever is
37:09 lodged in your throat possibly to get that out
37:12 or you're gonna--
37:13 If you're alone you're gonna faint
37:14 and die at home.
37:16 So Derek is going to help give some hands on demonstration
37:19 and teach you a little bit how to do
37:20 the Heimlich and we'll turn it over to Derek.
37:22 And actually two things specialize in if you will
37:25 in disaster training as the medical aspects of it
37:28 which includes the chocking and also real quickly
37:30 I would mention the wound care that we do as well.
37:32 And we teach people how to respond in a disaster
37:35 and how to take care of wounds, simple wounds
37:37 whether it's like a small ulceration
37:39 or we even have a simulation of how people respond to like
37:42 an amputated arm and we teach them how to turn
37:44 and kit that and how to stop the bleeding.
37:46 And like he said the second thing we do is chocking.
37:49 And we have the nice chocking vest to teach that with.
37:52 And actually we have someone here
37:53 and I'll actually teach you how to do it.
37:55 Okay. So you can stand right here.
37:59 So the first thing you want to look for and recognize
38:02 for a person who is chocking and he is our chocking victim.
38:04 It's the universal sign for chocking which his two hands
38:07 on the throat like that.
38:08 And the first thing you want to do if you see someone
38:10 like that is come up and ask for confirmation,
38:12 are you chocking?
38:14 And of course they won't be able to respond because
38:16 there's something in their airway.
38:17 But you'll be able to know if they are chocking.
38:19 And if you want to come over here behind him?
38:21 Okay.
38:23 The first thing you want to do before doing
38:25 the abdominal thrust which you probably heard
38:27 before I mention is you want to try dislodge
38:30 what's ever in their airway by doing a few upward quick
38:32 and strong like hits right there on the back.
38:35 So we have this nice pad here where you can do that.
38:36 And just hit him like that?
38:37 Yeah, really hard like upward,
38:38 of course not too hard.
38:39 Oh, really hard?
38:40 Yeah, there's some padding here.
38:44 So, yeah, you do that pretty hard
38:45 though in a real situation.
38:46 If that doesn't work, what you're gonna do
38:48 is make sure his legs are shoulder width apart
38:50 and what's important
38:52 is you want to put one of your legs
38:53 between his legs a little bit forward
38:55 because after you do the abdominal thrust
38:57 a lot of times people will pass out.
38:58 So that's just so you can catch them so they are not
39:00 falling on their face on the floor.
39:02 So you can just guide them down gentle.
39:04 So what you're gonna do is take your non dominant hand,
39:06 so if I'm right handed you take your left hand
39:09 and put your thumb like that and you're gonna reach around
39:11 and put it right in front here, there's a nice little X,
39:13 so you would be like right there.
39:15 Now take your stronger hand and put it over that,
39:17 like that and then you just gonna do a quick upward thrust.
39:20 Upward thrust. Oh.
39:22 And there we go, that came out of the airway, good job.
39:24 Okay, he lived.
39:28 So, Derek, as you were mentioning if he's home alone,
39:32 he could do that over a chair,
39:33 over a table by just simply putting his hands on the--
39:36 Put your hands on the each side
39:37 and you have 45 seconds to do that.
39:39 So, yeah, find a chair as quickly as possibly.
39:41 Saving lives. Saving lives.
39:42 So you would do that to yourself.
39:44 You put your--
39:45 Yeah, if there's no one around that's,
39:46 that's what you're supposed to do,
39:47 is find something that you can use.
39:48 The baby has handed to me chocking an so immediately
39:52 it's got something in its throat,
39:54 the mother tells me.
39:55 So immediately I'm gonna take the child infant,
39:58 turn it upside down, put a V over here,
40:01 put it like this and I'm gonna do three quick hits
40:03 just like you were doing there, one, two, three.
40:07 And normally it will come out of the first one
40:09 or I can put the baby on my knee
40:11 and do the same thing.
40:12 It's gonna come out.
40:13 You never on an infant want to stick your finger down
40:15 his throat because it will lodge it down further,
40:17 that's only for adults.
40:19 But anyway that gives you just a few simple things
40:21 that to our viewing audience.
40:23 These techniques can save a lot of lives quickly
40:27 way before-- you see if you call 911
40:30 or you call the ambulance come, they would already be dead.
40:32 Yeah. Yeah.
40:33 It's amazing that some of-- so many of things
40:36 that you would think are intuitive
40:37 to do are the precise
40:39 wrong thing that you shouldn't do.
40:41 Yeah, that's correct. Yeah, yeah, incredible.
40:43 So here we're talking about
40:45 all these great training techniques and ideas.
40:48 Doing a train the trainer with other youth around
40:50 the world, master guides, but now we want
40:54 to maybe shift gears for just a moment.
40:56 How have they applied this to training other schools
40:59 so that, when they are training other youth,
41:02 they are training churches now to reach out to their
41:05 communities, we call that newest concept working
41:08 with a Southern Union of Seventh-day Adventist.
41:11 Jim Ingersoll is a very special individual
41:13 that has deployed groups with school groups with us
41:16 for many, many years.
41:17 And so he came up with a new title called to serve.
41:21 See that's a biblical going two by two.
41:22 Yes.
41:23 And so this is a title now that has taken out
41:26 a lot of momentum.
41:27 Training our church leaders and youth to be able to say,
41:32 you know, if we hold something called a block party.
41:35 We can be able to invite the community and now the youth
41:38 are dividing up into stations like 14 stations.
41:41 The community is rotating, learning things
41:43 that they really want to know.
41:45 This is a great source of evangelism
41:48 because the youth are involved,
41:49 but they are training the community now
41:52 and the church becomes alive because they are saying,
41:54 wow, you mean I can be used?
41:56 So you get youth training church members,
41:58 church members training the community.
42:00 We're gonna show you just a few quick pictures of our
42:03 last two serve conference and training
42:05 that we held in Orlando.
42:07 And some of these pictures, that's a flier we use,
42:10 it went out through the area of greater Orlando,
42:14 three different Adventist Churches were used
42:17 to reach out to their communities.
42:18 The next one shows basically the group,
42:21 the mayor is there, you had Adventist community
42:24 service director, Florida Conference,
42:26 Conrad Duncan there.
42:27 Many other leaders, Jim is on the far right,
42:29 the one I mentioned in the green shirt.
42:31 So here's your community leaders becoming involved
42:34 in the training and then realizing how they can help
42:37 their community.
42:38 So there's some of the youth representing around
42:40 the southeastern part of the United States.
42:42 And I think we've got another picture showing--
42:46 basically here's one of our box trucks taking thousands
42:50 of dollars of free donated supplies,
42:52 dropping them off to the various churches
42:54 in the block pretty soon that they can distribute
42:57 these free items to the community.
42:58 All of these different components are a tremendous
43:01 way to meet the needs of your community,
43:04 training your church so that truly they can be affective.
43:07 This picture shows one of the stations, great one,
43:10 that we have a lot of fun in doing face painting,
43:12 children love it.
43:13 They had youth to a great job training.
43:15 And now I want to end this on a very interesting note.
43:20 You might ask evangelism. What does this do?
43:24 We've heard from a number of Heritage students talking
43:27 about how when they are given the opportunity
43:30 to train others, they grow spiritually
43:32 and the leadership skills that last picture you saw
43:35 was taken just a couple of weeks ago
43:37 in Mexico as I mention,
43:38 as I was training 400 master guides
43:41 from around the country.
43:42 So I made the appeal at the worship hour
43:45 and I said you have been learning these things--
43:49 in another words, God is calling me to serve.
43:52 And I said now, before you can train others
43:55 God is calling for you to make a commitment
43:58 to give your heart to Jesus Christ
44:00 because God is calling you
44:01 and now He wants to empower you.
44:04 And so to become empower miraculously
44:08 for all of who have not given your hearts to Jesus Christ
44:11 or maybe want to make a recommitment.
44:13 We had a tremendous baptism there after that worship hour.
44:16 So the good news is, we want our viewers to know is that
44:20 God is moving around the world.
44:22 God is moving because you know,
44:24 He has called us to train over 30 countries
44:28 in the past three years
44:29 and so there's a tremendous desire
44:32 to learn more and more,
44:33 how we can serve God effectively
44:36 through time, telling and treasure.
44:38 And ultimately commit our hearts to Jesus Christ
44:42 and through baptism now we're making that ongoing
44:45 commitment and showing others how we can live for Christ.
44:49 It occurs me, one that this is a very necessary thing,
44:53 but two, it is de facto evangelism,
44:58 in that it brings a person in contact with a Christian
45:01 caregiver who shows how important they are.
45:04 Rebecca, I want to ask you, what are you plan and doing
45:07 for your vocation for life, do you know?
45:09 Well, I want to study premed.
45:11 I want to become a medical missionary.
45:13 So, yeah, I have been wanting to do that
45:15 for a while now and I think maybe God is leading me.
45:17 Yeah, yeah.
45:19 Has that vision got little clearer as you've involved
45:21 yourself in medical or at least paramedical activity?
45:24 Yes, actually I have been doing-- like I've been
45:28 CPR certified and things like that and so it just giving
45:31 me ideas of you know, how this works.
45:34 And I'm just really interested in the medical field
45:37 and I think I really want to serve God.
45:40 Yeah, praise God. Derek, same question.
45:41 Do you know what you're gonna do?
45:42 Yeah, I'm also in healthcare,
45:44 but more specifically some form of dentistry.
45:46 My dad's a dentist and I have been able to see him
45:48 do some like short term mission work in different countries
45:51 like Philippines and in Mexico.
45:54 And yeah, that's just been really appealing to me to do
45:57 some form of dentistry because I feel that,
45:58 that's not only like a good job to have here,
46:01 but also like you can use it in other countries
46:03 all over the world.
46:06 Here comes your high concept question now.
46:09 As you look at what this does and the response
46:12 that you have gotten from the people that you serve,
46:14 that you taught, that you trained.
46:16 Can you see how this is
46:18 and I use the term almost a pain
46:20 free way to introduce somebody to Christ?
46:23 Surely it's less traumatic or dramatic
46:26 than sort of head right into a Bible study
46:29 but you developed a helping caring relationship.
46:32 Has that occurred to you that it's a really nice,
46:34 easy way to introduce to someone to the love of Christ?
46:38 Well, I think it's a great way to introduce someone to
46:43 the love of Christ because like you're helping them
46:47 with their needs before you're meeting
46:49 their spiritual needs.
46:50 So you're meeting them where they are first.
46:52 You know, you are helping them with that
46:54 and so you develop a relationship with them
46:56 and I think that's really crucial
46:58 before you even talked to them about God,
47:01 and His love you're showing that to them first.
47:03 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Derek?
47:05 And people in the midst of a disaster
47:08 are often at their lowest point in their life.
47:10 So they are looking for something more.
47:12 They are really open to, you know,
47:13 whatever you have for them
47:14 to fill everything they have lost.
47:16 So it's like a great opportunity to be able to
47:18 witness to them because they are looking for that.
47:21 Yeah, great.
47:22 I was trying to actually get through one whole program
47:24 without going to "Ministry of Healing" page 143.
47:27 You know Christ method alone.
47:29 But it is so obvious that this is,
47:31 this is an opening way.
47:32 That's right.
47:33 Because the barriers are down as Derek has just
47:35 stated very well that need is there
47:37 and you're meeting that need.
47:38 And it's very hard to say no to somebody who's down
47:40 on their knees meeting their needs.
47:41 So Derek has used the training in psychological
47:43 first-aid crisis care, emotional care.
47:45 So Derek, real quick where you're hurting the most?
47:49 I've asked him to voice triage identify to me,
47:52 where you're hurting the most?
47:53 In the night say, where ever I'm hurting like,
47:54 my legs hurt or something.
47:55 So then you deal with the medical need.
47:57 Derek, do you like blessings? Yeah, I do.
48:00 Thousands of people I have that question when they are
48:02 hurting no one is yet to admit.
48:04 We all like blessings. Yeah.
48:05 So now you're asking permission, next step.
48:08 Derek, you want to keep using their name.
48:10 Could I pray a prayer of blessing with you right now?
48:14 Of course.
48:16 Who doesn't love blessings? See.
48:17 And so now you lead into the promises of God
48:19 and our youth pray the promises of God with them.
48:22 You're asking permission, we've never yet been refused
48:25 for someone of who did want to prayer blessing.
48:27 When you sort of ease into it that way it makes it
48:29 very nice and you know sometimes we want to just--
48:32 let's okay, let's pray.
48:33 Well, the person may not be there just yet.
48:35 And you're forcing them. Precisely.
48:37 Let's pray or mistakenly many pastors
48:40 say the wrong things.
48:42 So we try to train the correct things to ask
48:44 and to say.
48:45 By saying, I'm gonna praying over you
48:47 and that kind of sounds like last race.
48:48 You're right, it does.
48:49 And so we're asking permission
48:51 and a prayer of blessing with them, not over them.
48:55 So many of these things are very important that they learn.
48:57 Yeah.
48:58 Let me ask you this because I'm sitting
49:01 in my living room I'm watching this program,
49:03 I'd like my church to learn.
49:06 I'd like my path finding group to--
49:07 Can I get this to my church?
49:09 Can I get these young people to come?
49:10 I would like my young people to get excited and turned on
49:13 and really functioning for the Lord I suppose
49:16 who's just coming in vegetating.
49:17 How do I do that? How, would you come?
49:20 In just a moment you're gonna see on the screen
49:22 how to get in touch with Acts World Relief, actswr.org.
49:27 There's a phone number
49:28 that they can also find on that website,
49:30 but and they will show on the screen here as well.
49:33 They can be able to call.
49:34 We don't try to go out
49:36 and train just one church at a time,
49:38 it's a whole area,
49:40 when you're getting them together,
49:41 so that's a train the trainer track or program.
49:44 So we do want to invite our volunteers around the world
49:47 to be able to get involved.
49:49 God is opening a lot of doors and when you--
49:52 When they understand how they can
49:54 become involved through that address
49:57 we want them to call.
49:59 And get together a large group of people together,
50:02 many schools, many churches, area churches gather
50:05 together and that we're glad to help in that respect.
50:09 Now, what I say now, I say, out of great deference,
50:12 respect and love for you
50:13 who I've known for a quite a while.
50:16 But and I want you to come.
50:19 But I want the young people, do I get them along with you
50:24 or do I get them instead of you?
50:26 I love to have you, but I want the kids
50:27 because that's where the energy is gonna come from.
50:29 Amen, and I agree with you totally.
50:32 What I love to see is these youth in action training
50:35 the trainers, that's where they are
50:36 going around the country training and other schools.
50:39 So we want the school to become ultimately
50:41 you're the train the trainer,
50:42 so it can multiply, it isn't me.
50:44 God is calling me to so many areas.
50:46 I'm trying to create the vision and the modules
50:49 and what not, but another words you probably won't get me,
50:52 but you'll get great train the trainers like these
50:54 youth and these are the ones God is using
50:58 around the world to be able to touch those lives.
51:00 So that's the real module of multiplication
51:03 and volunteerism.
51:04 God has called us to serve others in love,
51:06 Galatians 5:13.
51:08 Yeah. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.
51:10 Should you have heard anything that interests you?
51:13 You may want to support ACTS,
51:14 they can always use your support,
51:16 your prayers and your financial gifts
51:18 or if you have young people that you would like to train
51:21 because as we said before,
51:22 this is a great way to introduce
51:25 someone to the love of Christ and a pre event to evangelism
51:29 if you are planning that in the future
51:31 or if you live in a part of the country,
51:34 any place along the east coast from Maine to Florida
51:36 that, that is affected by hurricanes or natural disasters
51:40 or in this part of the country where they have
51:41 earthquakes or the west coast where they have
51:43 earthquakes just about any part of the country can be
51:47 trained for this kind of thing.
51:48 We didn't except New York
51:49 what we got a couple of years ago.
51:51 You want to get out of the curve and have your church,
51:54 your group, your area, your city, your town trained.
51:58 Here is the contact information that you will need.
52:02 ACTS or Active Community Teams Serving
