I want to spend my life
00:00:01.70\00:00:07.60
Mending broken people
00:00:07.64\00:00:12.61
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.64\00:00:18.85
Removing pain
00:00:18.88\00:00:23.79
Lord, let my words
00:00:23.82\00:00:29.99
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:30.03\00:00:34.63
I want to spend my life
00:00:34.66\00:00:40.57
Mending broken people
00:00:40.60\00:00:45.77
I want to spend my life
00:00:45.81\00:00:51.41
Mending broken people.
00:00:51.45\00:00:56.38
Hello, and welcome to
another 3ABN Today program.
00:01:08.00\00:01:10.80
Thank you for joining us
as you do each and everyday.
00:01:10.83\00:01:13.87
And we have some
special guest today,
00:01:13.90\00:01:16.50
starting with my co-host.
00:01:16.54\00:01:18.01
You're actually in
the host chair, you know?
00:01:18.04\00:01:19.91
Well, that's a privilege.
00:01:19.94\00:01:21.28
All right, Bruce Fjarli,
00:01:21.31\00:01:22.74
and Bruce is
actually the chairman
00:01:22.78\00:01:25.38
of the board of Three
Angles Broadcasting Network.
00:01:25.41\00:01:27.75
So I guess I let him sit
00:01:27.78\00:01:29.12
in which ever chair he wants to.
00:01:29.15\00:01:31.15
That's a good idea, Danny.
00:01:31.19\00:01:33.12
But we are very
thankful that you're here today.
00:01:33.15\00:01:35.49
But you brought
along some special guest.
00:01:35.52\00:01:37.99
Some beautiful ladies
00:01:38.03\00:01:39.36
and it looks like they
must be from another country,
00:01:39.39\00:01:42.06
not the US, the
way they're dressed.
00:01:42.10\00:01:44.33
Maybe from India or somewhere,
00:01:44.37\00:01:45.87
why don't you
introduce our guest?
00:01:45.90\00:01:47.24
We took them to India
and we dressed them up.
00:01:47.27\00:01:49.57
That's what it
is. Very nice of you.
00:01:49.60\00:01:51.37
This is Debbie
Thomson. She's from Sacramento.
00:01:51.41\00:01:52.77
Hi, Debbie. Hello.
00:01:52.81\00:01:54.48
My wife, Jacki Fjarli.
00:01:54.51\00:01:56.01
Hey, Jacki. Hi, Danny.
00:01:56.04\00:01:57.38
And everybody knows Miss Brenda.
00:01:57.41\00:01:59.01
Miss Brenda Walsh, all
right. We do know about her.
00:01:59.05\00:02:02.15
Now, Debbie, you look familiar.
00:02:02.18\00:02:03.95
Where do we see
you on TV? On 3ABN.
00:02:03.99\00:02:07.06
On 3ABN, and we
see you leading music.
00:02:07.09\00:02:10.53
Yes.
00:02:10.56\00:02:11.89
For the Sabbath
school, right? That's right.
00:02:11.93\00:02:13.26
Church service there
for Doug Bachelor, right?
00:02:13.29\00:02:15.46
So some of the
flocks are saying,
00:02:15.50\00:02:16.83
"Where do I know her from?"
00:02:16.87\00:02:18.33
You usually not dressed in
a, and what do you call that?
00:02:18.37\00:02:20.67
A Punjabi dress. Oh! Okay.
00:02:20.70\00:02:23.07
Probably, not dressed
like that usually on Sabbath.
00:02:23.10\00:02:25.94
Not usually. But, all right.
00:02:25.97\00:02:28.01
So we're glad that you're here.
00:02:28.04\00:02:29.38
And of course, Jacki
you're on TV all the time,
00:02:29.41\00:02:31.45
so you're not nervous, I know.
00:02:31.48\00:02:32.81
No, not at all.
No, not too much.
00:02:32.85\00:02:35.62
Brenda's probably nervous.
00:02:35.65\00:02:36.99
She's doesn't spend much
time in front of the camera.
00:02:37.02\00:02:39.39
I'm just kidding, of course.
00:02:39.42\00:02:40.96
That's a nice
outfit you have on.
00:02:40.99\00:02:42.66
Tell us about that Brenda.
00:02:42.69\00:02:44.03
Well, this is a dress
Punjabi too, in India.
00:02:44.06\00:02:46.63
I had quite a few
Punjabis that I wore around
00:02:46.66\00:02:49.06
and on the job site and
I did, I kept two of them
00:02:49.10\00:02:52.87
and the rest of
them I gave to the girls
00:02:52.90\00:02:54.54
in the dormitory before I left
00:02:54.57\00:02:55.97
and it was a really
a special thing for me
00:02:56.00\00:02:58.94
to see how
appreciative they were
00:02:58.97\00:03:00.41
and excited to
get their new Punjabis
00:03:00.44\00:03:03.24
and I got to say,
00:03:03.28\00:03:04.61
these are really comfortable,
don't you think, ladies?
00:03:04.65\00:03:05.98
Yeah.
00:03:06.01\00:03:07.35
I mean, they
are very comfortable
00:03:07.38\00:03:08.72
and nice to wear, they were fun.
00:03:08.75\00:03:10.59
Little hard to
ride an elephant though,
00:03:10.62\00:03:12.22
that was a little bit tricky.
00:03:12.25\00:03:13.72
Yeah, well, we're gonna
talk about that a little bit,
00:03:13.76\00:03:16.26
because you're gonna
get your seat belts on.
00:03:16.29\00:03:18.73
We're gonna go to India today.
00:03:18.76\00:03:20.83
And some incredible
thing are happening there
00:03:20.86\00:03:23.33
and we God the credit.
00:03:23.37\00:03:24.73
And you, for those of you
who are supporting the work
00:03:24.77\00:03:27.47
that's going on over there,
00:03:27.50\00:03:28.84
and we'll find out
that literally 1000s
00:03:28.87\00:03:30.91
and yeah, 100s
of 1000s of folks'
00:03:30.94\00:03:32.84
lives have been
changed because of you.
00:03:32.87\00:03:35.04
And you're giving, your support
00:03:35.08\00:03:36.81
and you're
prayer, and of course,
00:03:36.85\00:03:38.51
through the leadership
of Fjarli's and others.
00:03:38.55\00:03:40.88
And we'll talk
about that a little more
00:03:40.92\00:03:42.35
but, Brenda I know that you say
you have a fear of dogs, right?
00:03:42.38\00:03:45.55
I sure do.
00:03:45.59\00:03:46.92
What about the dog you've
had on the program forever.
00:03:46.96\00:03:49.12
Well, anyone that has actually
read my bedtime story books,
00:03:49.16\00:03:52.76
Miss Brenda's
Bedtime story books.
00:03:52.79\00:03:54.20
In volume one, there a
chapter in there called,
00:03:54.23\00:03:56.26
"Maxwell, the Kids Time Dog."
00:03:56.30\00:03:57.63
And I tell the
story, and I tell the,
00:03:57.67\00:03:59.60
you know, the secret that a lot
of people don't know is that,
00:03:59.63\00:04:02.00
Miss Brenda is terrified
of dogs, and I really am.
00:04:02.04\00:04:04.71
I'm just terrified of dogs
and I tell the miracle story
00:04:04.74\00:04:07.04
how God led me to
Maxwell and really blessed
00:04:07.08\00:04:09.81
and gave me a dog that goes
to sleep through every program
00:04:09.84\00:04:13.82
and has for eight years.
00:04:13.85\00:04:15.18
So you know,
that's pretty amazing
00:04:15.22\00:04:17.09
and when I was.
00:04:17.12\00:04:18.55
As long as the
viewers don't go to sleep.
00:04:18.59\00:04:20.49
The viewers don't go to sleep,
00:04:20.52\00:04:21.96
but Maxwell goes
to sleep every program
00:04:21.99\00:04:24.16
and God just
really truly blessed me
00:04:24.19\00:04:25.59
with the dog that
has never licked me,
00:04:25.63\00:04:27.26
never jumped on me,
and never barked at me.
00:04:27.30\00:04:29.16
Which is what,
answer to my prayer,
00:04:29.20\00:04:30.70
that's what I prayed for.
00:04:30.73\00:04:32.23
And so when I was
preparing for India,
00:04:32.27\00:04:34.70
Bruce asked me
about a year ago to go,
00:04:34.74\00:04:36.40
as it was getting
closer and closer,
00:04:36.44\00:04:38.01
I got to tell you I was afraid.
00:04:38.04\00:04:39.71
And I started praying
with my dad in the mornings
00:04:39.74\00:04:42.44
so that I would not freak out,
00:04:42.48\00:04:44.58
you know, when
'cause I found out
00:04:44.61\00:04:46.48
there's a lot of
dogs everywhere in India.
00:04:46.51\00:04:49.08
And wild dogs, and
just, they roam everywhere
00:04:49.12\00:04:52.15
and not on leashes.
00:04:52.19\00:04:53.52
And so about a week
before we were leaving,
00:04:53.56\00:04:56.79
daddy had prayed, just
prayed with me on the phone
00:04:56.83\00:04:58.83
and he specifically
prayed that day that I would,
00:04:58.86\00:05:02.03
God would take the fear away,
00:05:02.06\00:05:03.40
that I wouldn't freak out
when I saw a dog, and He would.
00:05:03.43\00:05:05.80
Because I thought,
how's God is going to use me
00:05:05.83\00:05:07.67
if I'm so afraid.
00:05:07.70\00:05:09.14
Well, half hour after
dad and I finished prayer,
00:05:09.17\00:05:12.71
Bruce called me and he said,
00:05:12.74\00:05:14.81
"Well, I just want to
let you know, Miss Brenda."
00:05:14.84\00:05:16.31
He said that
"got up this morning."
00:05:16.34\00:05:18.35
And he felt impressed that
I should get someone to help.
00:05:18.38\00:05:21.65
He said, "I want you to know,
00:05:21.68\00:05:23.02
I've got you some puppy patrol."
00:05:23.05\00:05:24.95
And I was like,
"What?" What did he say?"
00:05:24.99\00:05:26.79
He says, "Puppy patrol.
00:05:26.82\00:05:28.16
We'll have somebody there,
00:05:28.19\00:05:29.52
will be there to
just follow you around,
00:05:29.56\00:05:30.89
make sure they
keep the dogs away,
00:05:30.93\00:05:32.56
we have puppy patrol."
00:05:32.59\00:05:33.93
I literally got off
the phone, called my dad,
00:05:33.96\00:05:36.16
had a thank you
prayer, and I was like,
00:05:36.20\00:05:38.83
I was almost in tears,
00:05:38.87\00:05:40.30
seriously because
I couldn't believe
00:05:40.34\00:05:41.67
how quickly God had
answered our prayer.
00:05:41.70\00:05:43.30
And you didn't even know
that I was afraid of dogs.
00:05:43.34\00:05:45.07
No.
00:05:45.11\00:05:46.44
So how in the world did,
did God impress you to do that?
00:05:46.47\00:05:49.68
It's just mind bobbling to me.
00:05:49.71\00:05:51.88
Well, God does
that. God impresses us.
00:05:51.91\00:05:54.18
If we listen, we
get that impressions.
00:05:54.22\00:05:56.65
But I knew Debbie was a
little hesitant about dogs,
00:05:56.69\00:05:59.09
because she had a dog
bite and it was very traumatic
00:05:59.12\00:06:02.82
and it almost took your life.
00:06:02.86\00:06:05.29
Then I just
gave her the comfort.
00:06:05.33\00:06:07.73
I wanted to do the same for you.
00:06:07.76\00:06:09.16
So it was just God's impression.
00:06:09.20\00:06:12.53
If I go back again,
00:06:12.57\00:06:13.90
would you do a
cobra patrol for me?
00:06:13.94\00:06:17.01
Cobra patrol, I'll
take care the food for it.
00:06:17.04\00:06:19.31
We don't have
time going to my story
00:06:19.34\00:06:20.94
about going over to a
bush for certain reasons
00:06:20.98\00:06:23.55
and finding out
there was cobra there,
00:06:23.58\00:06:25.55
so I ran back and said, I
guess I can hold up for a while.
00:06:25.58\00:06:29.08
So that's bad enough
for that story for now.
00:06:29.12\00:06:31.79
But all of that said, we
have some young folk here
00:06:31.82\00:06:35.19
that's gonna be
singing a song from,
00:06:35.22\00:06:37.49
It's A Beautiful World
project that you produced.
00:06:37.53\00:06:40.30
And this song says, and
you guys have proven it.
00:06:40.33\00:06:43.43
"I Can Do All
Things Through Christ."
00:06:43.47\00:06:45.43
I'm one of a kind
that's what God had in mind
00:06:55.84\00:07:00.05
When He created me
00:07:00.08\00:07:03.52
I'm part of His
plan So I know that I can
00:07:03.55\00:07:07.72
Be all He wants me to be
00:07:07.76\00:07:11.76
I can do all
things through Christ
00:07:11.79\00:07:15.50
Nothing's too big or small
00:07:15.53\00:07:19.40
I know that
He'll supply my needs
00:07:19.43\00:07:23.14
He's there whenever I call
00:07:23.17\00:07:27.61
Let's read about
it in Philippians 4:13
00:07:27.64\00:07:30.68
"I can do all
things through Christ
00:07:30.71\00:07:32.85
who strengthens me."
00:07:32.88\00:07:34.22
And Philippians 4:19 says,
00:07:34.25\00:07:36.45
"For my God shall
supply all your needs
00:07:36.48\00:07:39.69
according to His riches in
glory through Christ Jesus."
00:07:39.72\00:07:43.69
Much greater is He
who lives within me
00:07:46.09\00:07:50.27
Than he that is in the world
00:07:50.30\00:07:54.17
We need not
fear, for God is near
00:07:54.20\00:07:58.04
To every boy and girl
00:07:58.07\00:08:02.11
I can do all
things through Christ
00:08:02.14\00:08:05.81
Nothing's too big or small
00:08:05.85\00:08:09.65
I know that
He'll supply my needs
00:08:09.68\00:08:13.56
He's there whenever I call
00:08:13.59\00:08:18.49
That's right boys, and girls,
00:08:18.53\00:08:19.86
we can do all
things through Christ.
00:08:19.89\00:08:21.96
All we have to do is
come in the name of the Lord.
00:08:22.00\00:08:25.17
That's exactly what David did
00:08:25.20\00:08:26.97
when he faced that
great big giant Goliath.
00:08:27.00\00:08:30.24
In 1 Samuel 17:45,
little David says to Goliath,
00:08:30.27\00:08:35.01
"You come to me with
a sword and with a spear
00:08:35.04\00:08:38.18
and with
javelin, but I come to you
00:08:38.21\00:08:40.95
in the name of
the LORD of hosts."
00:08:40.98\00:08:43.08
And we all know what happened
when David drew out the stone,
00:08:43.12\00:08:46.52
and slung it towards Goliath.
00:08:46.55\00:08:48.59
The Lord guided that stone
00:08:48.62\00:08:50.09
to take down the enemy of David,
00:08:50.13\00:08:52.16
and of the living God.
00:08:52.19\00:08:53.76
So remember, there
is nothing we can't do
00:08:53.80\00:08:56.93
when we come in
the name of the Lord.
00:08:56.97\00:09:00.17
I can do all
things through Christ
00:09:00.20\00:09:03.87
Nothing's too big or small
00:09:03.91\00:09:07.78
I know that
He'll supply my needs
00:09:07.81\00:09:11.58
He's there whenever I call
00:09:11.61\00:09:15.82
I can do all
things through Christ
00:09:15.85\00:09:19.52
Nothing's too big or small
00:09:19.55\00:09:23.22
I know that
He'll supply my needs
00:09:23.26\00:09:27.10
He's there whenever I call
00:09:27.13\00:09:30.67
He's there whenever I call
00:09:30.70\00:09:33.47
I can do all
00:09:33.50\00:09:35.04
I can do all
things through Christ.
00:09:35.07\00:09:41.38
Amen. Yes.
00:09:44.41\00:09:45.75
Really it's true, we
can do all things Christ,
00:09:45.78\00:09:48.12
who strengthen us, right?
00:09:48.15\00:09:49.48
That's true. It's
my favorite Bible text.
00:09:49.52\00:09:51.35
I write it every
time I sign a book,
00:09:51.39\00:09:53.09
I write that text
down there for people.
00:09:53.12\00:09:54.89
All right.
00:09:54.92\00:09:56.26
I'm gonna back at
number of years, Mr. Bruce.
00:09:56.29\00:09:59.69
I went to India to Ongole. Yes.
00:09:59.73\00:10:02.06
With Garwin
McNeilus at Maranatha,
00:10:02.10\00:10:04.80
Don Noble and all
those folk. Yeah. Mike Ryan.
00:10:04.83\00:10:07.54
Mike Ryan was there.
00:10:07.57\00:10:08.90
Don Schneider even came over
00:10:08.94\00:10:10.27
so there was a
group of us folk there.
00:10:10.31\00:10:12.74
We saw
tremendous amount of people.
00:10:12.77\00:10:15.18
Every night probably
40,000 people a night
00:10:15.21\00:10:17.65
were coming and I
mean, it's amazing.
00:10:17.68\00:10:21.88
We had Bob, Garwin's friend
as you know, that was laymen.
00:10:21.92\00:10:26.39
They said, "Well,
you can preach this."
00:10:26.42\00:10:28.19
He says, "Well, you know, I
have a business on this side
00:10:28.22\00:10:31.83
and I'm not really preacher."
00:10:31.86\00:10:33.80
They said, "No, you can do it.
00:10:33.83\00:10:35.16
Take Mark Finley's help
and go out there and do it."
00:10:35.20\00:10:38.17
Forty thousand people
a night were coming out,
00:10:38.20\00:10:41.14
we saw, I think
15,000 people were baptized.
00:10:41.17\00:10:44.34
Built a number of churches,
00:10:44.37\00:10:46.17
but I guess you and
your folks were at home.
00:10:46.21\00:10:48.51
And you didn't go on the trip.
00:10:48.54\00:10:49.88
But I understand you watched it,
00:10:49.91\00:10:51.25
tell me little about it.
00:10:51.28\00:10:52.61
I was watching that program.
00:10:52.65\00:10:54.15
I was at actually
at home in Mannford
00:10:54.18\00:10:55.78
and my folks were
down in Yuma, Arizona.
00:10:55.82\00:11:00.19
And as I watched that program,
00:11:00.22\00:11:01.72
I was impressed to
contact Don Nobel and Mike Ryan
00:11:01.76\00:11:05.59
and say, "I'm
available help with that,
00:11:05.63\00:11:08.46
if you need some help,
I'll be glad to help with that."
00:11:08.50\00:11:12.53
So I finished
watching the program,
00:11:12.57\00:11:16.00
and five minutes
after the program was over,
00:11:16.04\00:11:18.61
my dad called me and he said,
00:11:18.64\00:11:19.97
"Bruce, have you ever
thought about going to India?"
00:11:20.01\00:11:22.74
And I said, "As a
matter of fact, I have,
00:11:22.78\00:11:24.65
and I will go."
00:11:24.68\00:11:26.31
So that's how we
got started on this,
00:11:26.35\00:11:29.18
our projects in India.
00:11:29.22\00:11:30.92
And we had Bruce Johnston
develop the first team for us
00:11:30.95\00:11:34.52
and it was successful.
00:11:34.56\00:11:36.49
I think there was
50 people went with us,
00:11:36.52\00:11:38.56
and did 50 villages and I
think there were some where--
00:11:38.59\00:11:42.93
Did 50 villages,
what do you mean by that?
00:11:42.96\00:11:46.13
Well, each night
we had a five villages
00:11:46.17\00:11:49.17
come to ten different spots.
00:11:49.20\00:11:50.67
Okay.
00:11:50.71\00:11:52.04
So we'd have an
evangelistic meeting there,
00:11:52.07\00:11:53.54
we'd have children
story and health talk
00:11:53.58\00:11:55.51
and then the message much
like, Bob Paulson was doing it.
00:11:55.54\00:11:59.35
It was the, it
was written scripts
00:11:59.38\00:12:01.65
and had it
translated and the people,
00:12:01.68\00:12:04.65
we trucked into these areas,
00:12:04.69\00:12:06.89
and then after that we
had a reaping time of baptism
00:12:06.92\00:12:10.83
and it seems like there was
about 10,000 people baptized.
00:12:10.86\00:12:15.13
Wow! In that first meeting.
00:12:15.16\00:12:16.50
How many trips,
you got any idea,
00:12:16.53\00:12:17.90
how many trips have
you been back since then?
00:12:17.93\00:12:21.77
I've been there
over 30 times since then.
00:12:21.80\00:12:23.74
Thirty times? Yeah.
00:12:23.77\00:12:25.11
Oh my, what a trip.
00:12:25.14\00:12:26.47
That's not like
going next door, right?
00:12:26.51\00:12:28.84
How many hours did it take you?
00:12:28.88\00:12:30.35
It's a day on the
plane, 24 hours in the plane.
00:12:30.38\00:12:32.88
Yeah, yeah and if you
stay all night in dark
00:12:32.91\00:12:35.05
or somewhere you can
be 40 hours or whatever
00:12:35.08\00:12:37.79
getting from A to Z, right?
00:12:37.82\00:12:39.99
Yeah, it's not a, it's
not a picnic, but it is,
00:12:40.02\00:12:43.49
it's a good time to
reflect on the blessings
00:12:43.53\00:12:47.83
that Christ has
given us, and done for us
00:12:47.86\00:12:50.27
and just to sit there and relax
00:12:50.30\00:12:52.50
and think about Him
and praise His name.
00:12:52.53\00:12:57.71
And try and be comfortable
00:12:57.74\00:12:59.21
which is a little
bit of a challenge
00:12:59.24\00:13:00.58
once in a while in
there, right, ladies?
00:13:00.61\00:13:02.71
Well, it's a great
witnessing time too
00:13:02.74\00:13:04.25
because you have people,
usually on either side of you
00:13:04.28\00:13:06.38
or near you that, you
know, they can't go anywhere.
00:13:06.41\00:13:08.68
So it's great
in time to witness.
00:13:08.72\00:13:11.22
They're right there,
you got a captive audience.
00:13:11.25\00:13:12.89
That's true!
00:13:12.92\00:13:14.26
Well, the Fjarli
families were some, Debbie,
00:13:14.29\00:13:16.39
some of our
biggest monthly supporters.
00:13:16.42\00:13:18.93
They give $15,000 a
month. And so it's too late.
00:13:18.96\00:13:23.03
I probably shouldn't have said,
00:13:23.06\00:13:24.40
Bruce gets,
prefers me not to say.
00:13:24.43\00:13:26.67
But at the time there
were giving $15,000 a month.
00:13:26.70\00:13:29.50
Great amount of
money to be giving.
00:13:29.54\00:13:31.51
It started out smaller
but, Merlin kept saying,
00:13:31.54\00:13:33.74
"Well, as the Lord
bless us more we'll give more
00:13:33.78\00:13:36.01
when, I think 5000,
7,500 and 10,000, 15 and so."
00:13:36.04\00:13:41.45
One day I got a
call from him, he said,
00:13:41.48\00:13:43.22
"Well, we were watching
what's going on in India
00:13:43.25\00:13:46.45
and we're really
impressed to help over there."
00:13:46.49\00:13:48.32
And I said, "Great" and he said,
00:13:48.36\00:13:49.99
"I want to ask you,
what you would think about us
00:13:50.03\00:13:52.26
giving that $15,000 a
month putting that into India?
00:13:52.29\00:13:56.06
And how do you feel about it?"
00:13:56.10\00:13:58.27
So, I thought
about for a second,
00:13:58.30\00:14:00.37
I said, "Well, you
know, the Lord will direct you
00:14:00.40\00:14:02.00
where to put your money.
00:14:02.04\00:14:03.37
I know he has here,
00:14:03.41\00:14:04.74
so he directs
you to put it there."
00:14:04.77\00:14:06.68
But to tell you the truth,
they started to doing that,
00:14:06.71\00:14:09.11
but they've
helped us many times over
00:14:09.14\00:14:10.75
in many projects since then
00:14:10.78\00:14:12.18
so, we haven't lost anything
probably gained on that one.
00:14:12.21\00:14:15.28
So thank you all
for, for what you do.
00:14:15.32\00:14:17.92
But it's been
an amazing project.
00:14:17.95\00:14:20.86
Brenda or maybe
Jacki, Debbie, any of you,
00:14:20.89\00:14:23.73
do you have any
idea, how many people
00:14:23.76\00:14:26.26
since they
started and that on go,
00:14:26.29\00:14:29.23
how many people
have been baptized?
00:14:29.26\00:14:30.93
Tell me about the
growth of the church.
00:14:30.97\00:14:32.40
What do you know about it?
00:14:32.43\00:14:33.80
You know, I don't think you
can you put a number on that.
00:14:33.84\00:14:36.40
I mean, it's astronomical.
00:14:36.44\00:14:38.27
And I know from my
many years of Maranatha
00:14:38.31\00:14:41.98
and following the Fjarli family
00:14:42.01\00:14:43.88
you know, with
their journey in India
00:14:43.91\00:14:45.45
and obviously continuing
you know the amount of lives
00:14:45.48\00:14:49.38
that they've impacted in India,
00:14:49.42\00:14:50.99
not just in the school
and church construction
00:14:51.02\00:14:54.02
but the volunteers
that go over with them.
00:14:54.06\00:14:56.56
I mean, you know,
touching someone's life,
00:14:56.59\00:14:59.89
you know, it
touches other people's life,
00:14:59.93\00:15:02.10
it's that ripple effect.
00:15:02.13\00:15:03.87
And I know that your
dad and your mom and you
00:15:03.90\00:15:07.37
and everyone you know,
00:15:07.40\00:15:09.60
you've touched a
lot of people's lives
00:15:09.64\00:15:11.77
and I'm sure there's no
number that you can put on that.
00:15:11.81\00:15:14.38
I was really
surprised, Danny to know,
00:15:14.41\00:15:16.61
when that we got over and
Debbie were sharing with me
00:15:16.64\00:15:18.61
because Debbie
produced the Maranatha program
00:15:18.65\00:15:21.52
for almost ten years.
00:15:21.55\00:15:22.88
And she's amazing, like talented
00:15:22.92\00:15:25.29
you know, women here.
00:15:25.32\00:15:26.65
But she was sharing
with me all the schools
00:15:26.69\00:15:28.76
because I was
impressed with the schools,
00:15:28.79\00:15:30.26
and she has, oh, Brenda
says, "You have no idea,
00:15:30.29\00:15:32.26
what the Fjarli family
has done over here for India."
00:15:32.29\00:15:35.63
And she started sharing with me,
00:15:35.66\00:15:37.30
Debbie, the amount of
schools that that are there.
00:15:37.33\00:15:40.84
Do we even know how many?
00:15:40.87\00:15:43.51
We, we know and
it's not that many.
00:15:43.54\00:15:45.21
It is only four.
00:15:45.24\00:15:46.78
There is a lot of
them done over there,
00:15:46.81\00:15:48.34
McNeilus did a lot of them
00:15:48.38\00:15:49.88
and many other people helped
00:15:49.91\00:15:51.71
but we were directly
involved with four of them.
00:15:51.75\00:15:54.35
And what about our churches?
00:15:54.38\00:15:56.92
Churches, we had a lot of
help from a lot of friends,
00:15:56.95\00:16:01.09
and other church members.
00:16:01.12\00:16:02.46
There's I think around
a 1100 or 1200 churches.
00:16:02.49\00:16:05.33
Over 1000
churches built over there,
00:16:05.36\00:16:07.36
it's incredible.
00:16:07.40\00:16:09.30
Jacki, I don't know,
do you enjoy traveling?
00:16:09.33\00:16:11.63
I hope so, but Bruce says
to you, "I'm going to India,
00:16:11.67\00:16:14.87
how about you going with me?"
00:16:14.90\00:16:16.24
How did you--
00:16:16.27\00:16:17.61
He says, "We're going to India."
00:16:17.64\00:16:21.54
I enjoy the trips.
00:16:21.58\00:16:22.94
It's very rewarding to go
and what you come home with,
00:16:22.98\00:16:29.95
the change of heart.
00:16:29.98\00:16:31.35
The desire to
share Jesus with people.
00:16:31.39\00:16:34.62
How did that happen? Why
do you come home changed?
00:16:34.66\00:16:36.59
What do you see
when you're there?
00:16:36.62\00:16:37.96
Because you see
people that have nothing
00:16:37.99\00:16:39.56
but, yet they are happy.
00:16:39.59\00:16:41.43
And they'll invite
you into their homes
00:16:41.46\00:16:44.03
and they have
nothing in their homes.
00:16:44.07\00:16:46.87
And they just when
they hear about Jesus,
00:16:46.90\00:16:50.34
you can see the
change in their lives,
00:16:50.37\00:16:52.84
and it's just
wonderful experience.
00:16:52.87\00:16:56.85
I would encourage anybody to go.
00:16:56.88\00:17:00.02
All right, Debbie you've
been how many times to India?
00:17:00.05\00:17:03.25
This was my second time.
00:17:03.28\00:17:04.62
My first time is
exactly ten years ago.
00:17:04.65\00:17:07.39
When that was it
was mix of Maranatha, MN
00:17:07.42\00:17:11.69
with a Medical
component, Amazing Facts.
00:17:11.73\00:17:14.16
And construction side of it
00:17:14.20\00:17:15.60
and with a big
evangelistic meetings.
00:17:15.63\00:17:17.33
So I got to see that
side and then this side was
00:17:17.37\00:17:20.24
you know, the
school construction
00:17:20.27\00:17:21.87
so it was nice to
have to see both of those.
00:17:21.90\00:17:25.31
Brenda says, you have a lot
of experience in production.
00:17:25.34\00:17:27.94
Give us some of your background.
00:17:27.98\00:17:30.58
Well, let's see.
00:17:30.61\00:17:31.95
It's a very I mean, I
love television production,
00:17:31.98\00:17:34.88
I'm a professional photographer.
00:17:34.92\00:17:36.65
I've worked for
Maranatha for ten years.
00:17:36.69\00:17:39.15
During Maranatha mission stories
00:17:39.19\00:17:40.72
and traveling around.
00:17:40.76\00:17:42.42
Loved that.
00:17:42.46\00:17:43.79
But decided five years
ago, after my second kid
00:17:43.83\00:17:46.49
that I would free lance
00:17:46.53\00:17:47.86
and stay home and raise my kids.
00:17:47.90\00:17:49.50
And so I have my
photography production business
00:17:49.53\00:17:53.34
and stay busy on weekends
00:17:53.37\00:17:55.44
for Amazing facts with the music
00:17:55.47\00:17:57.24
and you know, their productions
00:17:57.27\00:17:59.34
and go where ever God
wants me and can use me so--
00:17:59.37\00:18:02.84
So how did it end
up you going this time?
00:18:02.88\00:18:05.81
Oh, well, I got a phone call
00:18:05.85\00:18:08.12
about a week before we left.
00:18:08.15\00:18:09.68
And it said, there was,
one of your staff here at 3ABN
00:18:09.72\00:18:16.09
wasn't able to go and
we need a videographer
00:18:16.12\00:18:19.13
and can you do it?
00:18:19.16\00:18:21.40
So I said to my
husband, "I got a phone call."
00:18:21.43\00:18:25.50
He was like, "You'll
be stupid, not to do it."
00:18:25.53\00:18:27.17
And I'm like, "I
know" so that was that.
00:18:27.20\00:18:31.47
Tell him thank
you for us, will you?
00:18:31.51\00:18:32.84
Yeah, I will.
00:18:32.87\00:18:34.21
Tell him thank you
for letting you come.
00:18:34.24\00:18:35.58
We appreciate it.
00:18:35.61\00:18:36.95
So, for those watching
at home, what did you see?
00:18:36.98\00:18:39.58
What did you go with?
What were your expectations?
00:18:39.61\00:18:42.48
What did you come back with?
00:18:42.52\00:18:44.95
I went hoping that I
would find my heart in India.
00:18:44.99\00:18:50.29
Because I left it
there ten years ago,
00:18:50.33\00:18:52.03
and I always get emotional
about India for some reason.
00:18:52.06\00:18:54.60
But it's not for some reason
because it is special country.
00:18:54.63\00:18:59.07
And ten years
ago I left it there
00:18:59.10\00:19:01.90
and you know,
you just fall in love
00:19:01.94\00:19:03.30
with the people in India.
00:19:03.34\00:19:04.74
And so I was anticipating
00:19:04.77\00:19:06.51
you know, what's it's
gonna be like this time around.
00:19:06.54\00:19:08.71
Am I still going to have that,
00:19:08.74\00:19:10.18
you know, first time experience.
00:19:10.21\00:19:12.18
And it was different because
we were on a school campus,
00:19:12.21\00:19:16.18
and we weren't going
out into the community
00:19:16.22\00:19:18.09
you know, and
really hanging out with,
00:19:18.12\00:19:19.85
you know, the
local people as much as,
00:19:19.89\00:19:22.26
you know, my first trip.
00:19:22.29\00:19:24.16
But it was still, I mean,
you bond with those children,
00:19:24.19\00:19:26.39
you bond with you know,
00:19:26.43\00:19:28.23
the few people that are
there from the community
00:19:28.26\00:19:31.17
and I discovered very quickly
00:19:31.20\00:19:34.24
that my heart was
absolutely waiting for me.
00:19:34.27\00:19:38.07
And you know, just
the experience in India
00:19:38.11\00:19:40.74
you can never
really put that into words,
00:19:40.78\00:19:43.78
you have to go.
00:19:43.81\00:19:45.15
And you know, and
then when someone says,
00:19:45.18\00:19:48.72
"How was India?"
00:19:48.75\00:19:50.09
That is such a
open ended question
00:19:50.12\00:19:52.32
because there is no way to go.
00:19:52.35\00:19:53.69
Well, India was one
you know, XYZ it's not
00:19:53.72\00:19:57.33
and it's in experience
that will impact your life,
00:19:57.36\00:20:00.80
and it will, it will
stay with you forever.
00:20:00.83\00:20:04.80
And you know, it's you
know, I've been with Maranatha
00:20:04.83\00:20:07.64
and other you
know, around the world
00:20:07.67\00:20:09.00
but there is just
something about India
00:20:09.04\00:20:11.47
that will change your life.
00:20:11.51\00:20:12.97
Do you have more
trips planned to India?
00:20:13.01\00:20:16.18
Not, not definite. Next
year, or the year after.
00:20:16.21\00:20:18.81
We're hoping to go once a year.
00:20:18.85\00:20:20.72
We haven't got a
place to picked out yet.
00:20:20.75\00:20:22.52
We're thinking about
going back to the Irvine school.
00:20:22.55\00:20:25.52
They need some more help there.
00:20:25.55\00:20:27.92
But we're in the
process of finding a place to go
00:20:27.96\00:20:31.13
and we haven't made
that decision that yet.
00:20:31.16\00:20:32.76
You think, you'll
ever want to go back
00:20:32.79\00:20:34.30
or go back to India again.
00:20:34.33\00:20:35.66
Yeah, I just
need that phone call.
00:20:35.70\00:20:40.17
Well, I have a
feeling you'll get it.
00:20:40.20\00:20:43.07
So now did you and
Brenda Walsh know each other,
00:20:43.10\00:20:45.81
before this trip?
00:20:45.84\00:20:47.91
Well, we met once
like, eight, nine years ago.
00:20:47.94\00:20:51.11
I was doing a
program with Doug Bachelor.
00:20:51.15\00:20:53.68
I was at South
Central, and for kids.
00:20:53.72\00:20:56.82
Okay. It's time.
00:20:56.85\00:20:58.19
And we me briefly
really just briefly.
00:20:58.22\00:20:59.92
Behind the mall.
00:20:59.95\00:21:01.29
May I give you an
alert about Miss Brenda?
00:21:01.32\00:21:03.53
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:21:03.56\00:21:04.89
This is the alert
about Miss Brenda all right.
00:21:04.93\00:21:06.63
Hold your ears
at home, be careful
00:21:06.66\00:21:09.36
'cause you'll
be working with her
00:21:09.40\00:21:11.13
because when she
finds somebody really good,
00:21:11.17\00:21:13.77
really dedicated,
really loves Jesus,
00:21:13.80\00:21:16.40
boy, she's on them.
00:21:16.44\00:21:17.77
She's like,
"Listen, I can use you."
00:21:17.81\00:21:19.47
So I think...
00:21:19.51\00:21:20.84
Not I can use
you, God can use you
00:21:20.88\00:21:22.24
and as a matter of fact, Danny.
00:21:22.28\00:21:23.81
I've already asked
her. You already getting.
00:21:23.85\00:21:25.65
Oh, yeah.
00:21:25.68\00:21:27.02
And I' am asking to my,
00:21:27.05\00:21:28.38
I think we should just
have the viewers pray too
00:21:28.42\00:21:29.75
that you would just pray,
00:21:29.78\00:21:31.12
because I've
offered Debbie the position
00:21:31.15\00:21:35.19
as our Kid's
network program director.
00:21:35.22\00:21:38.63
And for all new programming
and she is so creative
00:21:38.66\00:21:41.56
and she's in
fact, she's so creative
00:21:41.60\00:21:43.33
that I wasn't
with her five minutes
00:21:43.37\00:21:46.03
and I asked her to
co-produce this program
00:21:46.07\00:21:48.00
that we're doing over in India.
00:21:48.04\00:21:49.44
So, that's in fact,
00:21:49.47\00:21:51.54
there's a picture
of us here together
00:21:51.57\00:21:52.94
that they can put
up of us on the side
00:21:52.97\00:21:55.44
and I'm like
Debbie, she had so many,
00:21:55.48\00:21:57.11
an idea a minute.
00:21:57.15\00:21:58.48
And I said, "Debbie,
would you co-produce with me?"
00:21:58.51\00:22:00.75
'Cause she,
00:22:00.78\00:22:02.12
she's produced these
type of Maranatha programs
00:22:02.15\00:22:04.25
for so long, I would be crazy
not to tap into that talent.
00:22:04.29\00:22:06.96
You know, and my
daddy didn't raise
00:22:06.99\00:22:09.19
that kind of fool, so...
00:22:09.22\00:22:11.26
Well, Brenda was
a really good sport,
00:22:11.29\00:22:13.06
because I had a vision
00:22:13.09\00:22:14.70
of putting her
in a really big pot
00:22:14.73\00:22:16.97
that they cook rice in.
00:22:17.00\00:22:18.50
And she climbed it in. She did.
00:22:18.53\00:22:20.64
She asked me to, I was like,
00:22:20.67\00:22:22.00
"I'm gonna do
whatever she wants me to do."
00:22:22.04\00:22:23.94
Oh, wow! It was a good visual.
00:22:23.97\00:22:26.01
And it was for the children,
you know, they will understand
00:22:26.04\00:22:28.58
how big those pots
are for cooking rice.
00:22:28.61\00:22:30.58
She was a great
sport. And we did.
00:22:30.61\00:22:32.35
And I even invited
00:22:32.38\00:22:34.05
a couple of the
workers to climb in with me
00:22:34.08\00:22:35.88
so we could show how
big that pot really was.
00:22:35.92\00:22:39.29
And here I' am
sitting in the pot.
00:22:39.32\00:22:41.99
So--
00:22:42.02\00:22:43.36
So in ministry it's okay,
to have a little fun right?
00:22:43.39\00:22:45.89
You should have a little fun.
00:22:45.93\00:22:47.56
Now have you
been to India before?
00:22:47.60\00:22:49.23
I had never been to India.
00:22:49.26\00:22:50.80
I had wanted to go and in fact,
Bruce's father Merlin Fjarli
00:22:50.83\00:22:54.80
had asked me for
many times to come.
00:22:54.84\00:22:57.27
And every single time I was
already booked taping Kids Time
00:22:57.31\00:23:01.08
and I couldn't go.
00:23:01.11\00:23:02.44
And I really did
want to go with him
00:23:02.48\00:23:05.61
and I love, you know, I
loved your parents, Bruce
00:23:05.65\00:23:08.12
and you know.
00:23:08.15\00:23:09.48
So I really want to go
00:23:09.52\00:23:10.85
and he made it
sound so enticing,
00:23:10.89\00:23:12.55
and of course, he didn't tell
me about the dogs at that time.
00:23:12.59\00:23:14.99
So I was really excited to go.
00:23:15.02\00:23:16.96
But then, a year ago
Bruce called me up and he said,
00:23:16.99\00:23:21.16
he's said, "Well,
I'm going to do something
00:23:21.20\00:23:22.53
my dad didn't do."
00:23:22.56\00:23:23.90
And I said, "What's that?"
00:23:23.93\00:23:25.27
And he said, "I'm
gonna ask you early."
00:23:25.30\00:23:27.94
Okay.
00:23:27.97\00:23:29.30
And so it got on the calendar
'cause I usually book out
00:23:29.34\00:23:31.51
I speak some more
almost every weekend
00:23:31.54\00:23:33.17
and I'm booked
out usually a year
00:23:33.21\00:23:34.54
and two years ahead of time.
00:23:34.58\00:23:35.91
And so we put it on the calendar
00:23:35.94\00:23:37.81
and to make it happen.
00:23:37.85\00:23:40.02
And I got to tell you,
I'm with Debbie you lose,
00:23:40.05\00:23:42.65
you really leave
your heart there.
00:23:42.68\00:23:44.02
I mean, it's the
people. Tell us about it.
00:23:44.05\00:23:48.52
Well, I fell in
love with the people,
00:23:48.56\00:23:50.86
I can't even tell you how,
when you look at those kids,
00:23:50.89\00:23:54.63
when Debbie said,
you bond with them.
00:23:54.66\00:23:56.36
You bond with them. Yeah.
00:23:56.40\00:23:57.73
And not only that, something
I just wanted to bring out,
00:23:57.77\00:24:01.54
I know when I had to put
on a schedule on my website
00:24:01.57\00:24:05.27
that I was going to
India, oh, my people started,
00:24:05.31\00:24:08.01
people I didn't even
know, you know, would call me
00:24:08.04\00:24:10.11
and emailing me and telling me
00:24:10.15\00:24:11.48
Miss Brenda you
can't go to India.
00:24:11.51\00:24:12.85
It's too dangerous.
00:24:12.88\00:24:14.22
We need you on
3ABN, Kids Time needs you,
00:24:14.25\00:24:15.58
you can't go to India.
00:24:15.62\00:24:16.99
And so, they kind of you know,
00:24:17.02\00:24:19.82
that's when I
found about the dogs.
00:24:19.85\00:24:22.02
And so, you know...
00:24:22.06\00:24:24.03
That would be the last
of my worries in India.
00:24:24.06\00:24:27.43
Yeah. Is the dogs but okay.
00:24:27.46\00:24:30.97
But here's what I found out.
00:24:31.00\00:24:33.27
First of all, if you go
on a trip with Bruce Fjarli,
00:24:33.30\00:24:36.10
he takes care of every detail.
00:24:36.14\00:24:38.64
Every possible
detail you can imagine,
00:24:38.67\00:24:41.08
he's got he's thought through
00:24:41.11\00:24:42.48
or if he hasn't
thought through himself,
00:24:42.51\00:24:44.91
I'm gonna say he
is Holy Spirit led.
00:24:44.95\00:24:46.35
He's going to be asking
you to join Kids Time next.
00:24:46.38\00:24:50.95
Well, I got to
have a disclaimer here,
00:24:50.99\00:24:52.42
'cause Maranatha is,
00:24:52.45\00:24:53.96
they're the ones
that make all that happen.
00:24:53.99\00:24:55.62
I make
suggestions, I'm watching,
00:24:55.66\00:24:57.89
I'm wanting make it
comfortable for the volunteers
00:24:57.93\00:25:00.63
but it's, it's Maranatha
00:25:00.66\00:25:02.16
and the team in India
that really takes care of us.
00:25:02.20\00:25:04.53
Well, that's what I
was gonna to say too.
00:25:04.57\00:25:06.57
And I'm glad that
you brought that up.
00:25:06.60\00:25:07.94
Because, first of all, you
do, you are Holy Spirit led
00:25:07.97\00:25:10.31
and the Holy
Spirit impresses you go
00:25:10.34\00:25:12.71
and you just make it all happen,
00:25:12.74\00:25:14.51
God uses you in amazing way.
00:25:14.54\00:25:16.54
But one thing I found out Danny,
00:25:16.58\00:25:17.91
about the Maranatha trip,
00:25:17.95\00:25:19.28
if you're on a
Maranatha mission trip,
00:25:19.31\00:25:21.05
it is the safest way
to do a mission trip.
00:25:21.08\00:25:23.55
I mean, from the
time you land to,
00:25:23.59\00:25:26.62
if our airport pickup
and to the time you leave,
00:25:26.65\00:25:30.36
every single
details taken care off.
00:25:30.39\00:25:32.39
From, you know, drinking water
to transportation to you know,
00:25:32.43\00:25:36.87
hotels to
whatever you need you have,
00:25:36.90\00:25:39.50
it's taking care off.
00:25:39.53\00:25:40.87
I mean, it's like it's
a, I had no personal fear
00:25:40.90\00:25:45.77
from my own safety at anytime.
00:25:45.81\00:25:47.98
Not at anytime.
00:25:48.01\00:25:49.34
And God really has,
00:25:49.38\00:25:52.41
has blessed
Maranatha in a mighty way,
00:25:52.45\00:25:54.48
and I think he's
given him divine directions,
00:25:54.52\00:25:56.72
and guidance and how
to plan mission trips.
00:25:56.75\00:25:59.09
They have it down
00:25:59.12\00:26:00.46
and I wouldn't hesitate
going anywhere in the world,
00:26:00.49\00:26:02.96
if it was a
Maranatha mission trip.
00:26:02.99\00:26:05.33
And of course, especially
if person Jacki are there.
00:26:05.36\00:26:08.56
The school has been
built, while you were there?
00:26:08.60\00:26:10.67
It was being built.
Did you help do the work?
00:26:10.70\00:26:13.00
Or you just work with the kids.
00:26:13.03\00:26:14.37
Actually there's
a picture on here.
00:26:14.40\00:26:15.74
Let's show this
picture up here of a,
00:26:15.77\00:26:17.61
I here with
Bruce, and he's teacher,
00:26:17.64\00:26:20.34
trying to teach me how
to, what is that thing?
00:26:20.38\00:26:25.31
It's a rivet gun.
00:26:25.35\00:26:26.68
Is a rivet gun and I think,
00:26:26.72\00:26:28.18
I think I made Bruce
laugh more than I was helpful.
00:26:28.22\00:26:30.82
Here we're trying
to teach Miss Brenda
00:26:30.85\00:26:32.45
how to run a rivet gun.
00:26:32.49\00:26:33.82
Yeah, you should tell
though how you did that, Brenda.
00:26:33.86\00:26:36.86
Yeah, where's
the video part of it?
00:26:36.89\00:26:39.23
Well, you know,
there's some things
00:26:39.26\00:26:42.06
that are better
left in imagination.
00:26:42.10\00:26:45.37
She was a good sport.
00:26:45.40\00:26:46.74
Was that just for show
00:26:46.77\00:26:48.10
or was that
really she was trying.
00:26:48.14\00:26:49.50
I was really, I was
trying hard to do it.
00:26:49.54\00:26:51.57
I promise you I was put
in everything I could have.
00:26:51.61\00:26:54.24
I have a whole new respect
for people in construction,
00:26:54.28\00:26:56.64
can I just say?
00:26:56.68\00:26:58.01
That was hard, that was
really difficult for me to do.
00:26:58.05\00:26:59.85
You decided to
maybe just move here
00:26:59.88\00:27:01.62
to another area after--
00:27:01.65\00:27:02.98
Yeah, we tried to
keep her on the media team.
00:27:03.02\00:27:05.25
Sweeping, sweeping.
00:27:05.29\00:27:07.56
We didn't have Miss Brenda out
in front as the leading person.
00:27:07.59\00:27:10.43
I found out my real
talents are not in construction
00:27:10.46\00:27:13.36
and then there was a
picture here with Danny.
00:27:13.40\00:27:16.50
He was trying, he
thought, okay, well,
00:27:16.53\00:27:17.97
you know I had a little
trouble with the rivet thing
00:27:18.00\00:27:20.00
and so, we'll try the drill,
00:27:20.04\00:27:21.47
you know, I think
that's a power drill.
00:27:21.50\00:27:23.51
And so, you know,
it was it got hilarious
00:27:23.54\00:27:26.21
I had to crack up laughing
00:27:26.24\00:27:27.61
so Danny was such a
great sport he was just,
00:27:27.64\00:27:30.45
I think he was
laughing too more than,
00:27:30.48\00:27:32.28
more than teaching me.
00:27:32.31\00:27:34.22
You know what it's like
Danny to try and teach somebody
00:27:34.25\00:27:36.32
that has no clue what
their trying to look at.
00:27:36.35\00:27:38.65
Now wait a minute.
00:27:38.69\00:27:40.52
She's a good cook,
and she's good with kids.
00:27:40.56\00:27:42.56
But construction, no, I
think you were behind the door.
00:27:42.59\00:27:45.89
That's the beautiful thing
about the Maranatha project.
00:27:45.93\00:27:48.16
Yeah. You don't
have to have skills.
00:27:48.20\00:27:49.66
Right. Yeah. You
just have a willing heart.
00:27:49.70\00:27:51.33
If you're willing, and she
was willing, she wanted to do.
00:27:51.37\00:27:53.77
But good point, Debbie.
00:27:53.80\00:27:55.47
and everybody can
come on Maranatha trip
00:27:55.50\00:27:59.01
and contribute in
one way or another.
00:27:59.04\00:28:01.51
It's just those
three words. Yes.
00:28:01.54\00:28:03.58
Flexibility.
00:28:03.61\00:28:04.95
No, adaptability,
adaptability and adaptability
00:28:04.98\00:28:09.15
is the three words.
00:28:09.18\00:28:10.89
But we had people
there that they were 26
00:28:10.92\00:28:13.05
and we had people there over
88 and everybody in between.
00:28:13.09\00:28:15.46
Really? Wow! Yes.
00:28:15.49\00:28:16.83
So these flocks volunteer. Yes.
00:28:16.86\00:28:18.46
And they go all
the way to India.
00:28:18.49\00:28:20.90
And you put them to work
so did we get a school built?
00:28:20.93\00:28:23.93
Yeah, we did we
got a video here.
00:28:23.97\00:28:25.43
Video roll, can we
put that up? Absolutely.
00:28:25.47\00:28:26.90
Let's take a look
at the picture of it.
00:28:26.94\00:28:28.27
Then you can tell us about it.
00:28:28.30\00:28:29.90
We, this is a
Irvine Adventist school.
00:28:29.94\00:28:32.77
It's built in 1974,
00:28:32.81\00:28:35.24
and you can see the
boys are right in front
00:28:35.28\00:28:37.71
they existing class room.
00:28:37.75\00:28:39.08
We got it partially
torn down there a bit.
00:28:39.11\00:28:41.15
Maranatha had all the foundation
00:28:41.18\00:28:42.98
and the side walks are in,
00:28:43.02\00:28:45.15
and the columns
were up in block work
00:28:45.19\00:28:48.32
and stucco work was done.
00:28:48.36\00:28:52.56
So we painted. Okay.
00:28:52.59\00:28:53.93
And we all put
all the trusses up,
00:28:53.96\00:28:55.53
put all the siding on
and put all the roofing on.
00:28:55.56\00:28:58.40
Doors and windows
in. A good size building.
00:28:58.43\00:29:00.70
This is peeling the
plastic, all the roofing inside,
00:29:00.74\00:29:04.04
it has a plastic on both sides.
00:29:04.07\00:29:06.71
There's our
trusses going together.
00:29:06.74\00:29:09.68
Beautiful
buildings, well insolated,
00:29:09.71\00:29:12.21
there's yours truly cutting
the hole in for the windows.
00:29:12.25\00:29:14.78
Okay.
00:29:14.82\00:29:16.28
With a saw
sponsored by Medford Tools,
00:29:16.32\00:29:19.62
Holly and Nadine, thank
you so much for that saw.
00:29:19.65\00:29:21.42
Okay, good.
00:29:21.46\00:29:23.96
And there's
Merlin painting. Wow!
00:29:23.99\00:29:27.03
Look great, great building.
00:29:27.06\00:29:28.76
Well, we did all
that in ten days.
00:29:28.80\00:29:30.60
Really? Ten days?
00:29:30.63\00:29:31.97
We built those
building in ten days.
00:29:32.00\00:29:33.34
Here their existing class
rooms where they were meeting.
00:29:33.37\00:29:36.67
And they were two capacity,
00:29:36.71\00:29:38.07
but we're just
taking all that down now.
00:29:38.11\00:29:40.61
We got to tear
that all down Friday
00:29:40.64\00:29:42.64
before we got to go
home but what a blessing.
00:29:42.68\00:29:47.22
And that building was
the administration building
00:29:47.25\00:29:50.29
and the classrooms.
00:29:50.32\00:29:51.65
Yeah, the one without
the piece on the top of it
00:29:51.69\00:29:53.02
is the administration building
where the principle being in.
00:29:53.05\00:29:56.83
The other ones are class rooms.
00:29:56.86\00:29:58.86
The old school
room, when it rained,
00:29:58.89\00:30:01.73
it rained inside
as well as outside.
00:30:01.76\00:30:04.47
Wow!
00:30:04.50\00:30:06.10
Some of the
kids, there's 45 kids,
00:30:06.13\00:30:08.07
they are that are at borders.
00:30:08.10\00:30:10.01
And then the rest of them
coming from the community.
00:30:10.04\00:30:12.34
There was like a 140, 150 kids
that really there all the time.
00:30:12.37\00:30:16.41
But he's gonna
increase his enrollment
00:30:16.44\00:30:19.48
by 150 next year, and
another 150 the year after
00:30:19.51\00:30:22.52
so, it's real blessing.
00:30:22.55\00:30:24.32
You can see the kids there,
00:30:24.35\00:30:25.69
they are some of our
volunteers at the inauguration.
00:30:25.72\00:30:29.36
That's the
principle, very nice men,
00:30:29.39\00:30:33.06
very dedicated to
the Lord and kids.
00:30:33.09\00:30:35.00
The kids were so
nice and well behaved
00:30:35.03\00:30:37.77
and spoke English and they knew
several English songs already
00:30:37.80\00:30:41.64
before we got there.
00:30:41.67\00:30:43.61
We had an elephant
come by and help us.
00:30:43.64\00:30:46.84
How about that?
00:30:46.88\00:30:48.21
We got to go for
the ride on that and...
00:30:48.24\00:30:50.51
Did you do that
Brenda? I did get, right there.
00:30:50.55\00:30:54.15
I'm right up there and--
00:30:54.18\00:30:56.25
Amazing.
00:30:56.28\00:30:57.65
We, that really
was an amazing trip.
00:30:57.69\00:31:00.12
That's proof that she
wears a same thing twice.
00:31:00.16\00:31:02.29
That's another aspect of
the trip was the children,
00:31:07.40\00:31:11.17
the children's program
00:31:11.20\00:31:12.53
and David
Brillhart's wife Becky Brillhart
00:31:12.57\00:31:16.64
headed up the
children's program each day.
00:31:16.67\00:31:19.07
And we have a video
role of children's program.
00:31:19.11\00:31:21.54
Can we put that
up? Sure, absolutely.
00:31:21.58\00:31:25.05
Here they are singing
songs with the kids each day
00:31:25.08\00:31:28.05
and teaching some of the song,
the kids were teaching them
00:31:28.08\00:31:31.79
some of their songs in Indian
and then they were teaching,
00:31:31.82\00:31:34.86
the Maranatha volunteers
were teaching the kids
00:31:34.89\00:31:38.16
some of the
American songs as well.
00:31:38.19\00:31:40.50
And there's Becky in
background right there
00:31:40.53\00:31:44.13
teaching those kids,
00:31:44.17\00:31:45.50
and they've
just really loved it.
00:31:45.53\00:31:48.57
Those kids were so amazing
00:31:48.60\00:31:49.94
they just were hanging on
every word you can see how,
00:31:49.97\00:31:52.27
and then they
played the games with them,
00:31:52.31\00:31:53.74
they had a recess time
afterwards went on playing.
00:31:53.78\00:31:57.31
There I'm cutting hair,
I've been cutting hair for years
00:31:57.35\00:31:59.71
so I bring my
scissors and I don't even know
00:31:59.75\00:32:01.88
how many hair cuts, and...
00:32:01.92\00:32:03.72
Quite a few.
00:32:03.75\00:32:05.09
Quite a few while
I was I thought there
00:32:05.12\00:32:06.45
and then I also was
would fix there hair
00:32:06.49\00:32:07.82
after the girls,
I had fixed Melissa,
00:32:07.86\00:32:09.76
my assistant with me
00:32:09.79\00:32:11.26
and I has fixed her
hair in braids each day.
00:32:11.29\00:32:13.96
And the girls loved
Melissa's hair so much,
00:32:14.00\00:32:16.23
that they are all
wanting that braids
00:32:16.26\00:32:17.73
so I was, you know, and
I take a picture of them
00:32:17.77\00:32:20.10
and show the
picture on the phones,
00:32:20.14\00:32:21.47
we didn't have the mirror
00:32:21.50\00:32:22.84
so they could see
what it looked like.
00:32:22.87\00:32:24.21
Then we have
Kids network balloons
00:32:24.24\00:32:25.57
that we passed out for the kids,
00:32:25.61\00:32:26.94
and boy, they just loved that.
00:32:26.98\00:32:29.21
And then we had 3ABN yo-yo set,
00:32:29.24\00:32:31.88
Molly gave me to bring over
00:32:31.91\00:32:33.25
and boy them
went crazy over that.
00:32:33.28\00:32:34.95
Oh, look at this.
00:32:34.98\00:32:36.32
And now, giving
them rides in the cart
00:32:36.35\00:32:38.45
and that was really,
really something special
00:32:38.49\00:32:42.46
when we went over a bump.
00:32:42.49\00:32:45.29
No, the best part Brenda,
was when she pushed them back
00:32:45.33\00:32:48.70
and the kids had moved
00:32:48.73\00:32:51.20
and so the cart became unstable,
00:32:51.23\00:32:53.50
I just see Brenda's
feet go up and she's hanging.
00:32:53.54\00:32:55.80
I was replying over the kids.
00:32:55.84\00:32:58.17
I about went
sailing about that trip.
00:33:00.88\00:33:02.98
I not sure how you got down.
00:33:03.01\00:33:04.35
But...
00:33:04.38\00:33:05.71
We did a medical team too.
00:33:05.75\00:33:07.15
We had a medical component
00:33:07.18\00:33:08.52
Dr. Grace came
and her husband Jeff.
00:33:08.55\00:33:09.88
We can show that, we
have a video up for this.
00:33:09.92\00:33:11.89
They're having Dr. Mark
Hersch and his wife Sheryl.
00:33:11.92\00:33:15.39
We had some local
Indian doctors there
00:33:15.42\00:33:17.23
they overseeing
everything but they saw,
00:33:17.26\00:33:20.06
I think close to 600
people in the five different...
00:33:20.10\00:33:24.20
Wow. Total about 500 or 600.
00:33:24.23\00:33:26.53
There's Mark Hersch
And they volunteered?
00:33:26.57\00:33:28.77
They all
volunteered. Isn't that amazing?
00:33:28.80\00:33:31.91
Some of the kids there,
kid's I used to call them kids
00:33:31.94\00:33:35.01
'cause they're only 26 or 27
00:33:35.04\00:33:36.78
but there's four
girls found a young man
00:33:36.81\00:33:39.85
that came into the clinic.
00:33:39.88\00:33:41.52
He wasn't going to the school
but he had a disjoined knee.
00:33:41.55\00:33:44.99
And they decided
they were gonna help him,
00:33:45.02\00:33:47.89
they took him to the town,
got him X-rayed they committed
00:33:47.92\00:33:51.39
to give
sponsoring him at the school.
00:33:51.43\00:33:54.26
And getting his
knee fixed and...
00:33:54.30\00:33:56.50
Wow!
00:33:56.53\00:33:57.87
His life is going to
be completely changed.
00:33:57.90\00:33:59.93
Because he's
gone from no education
00:33:59.97\00:34:02.37
that we know of, you know.
00:34:02.40\00:34:03.84
To going to school,
getting an education.
00:34:03.87\00:34:07.54
And being a cripple and
looking at a life of begging.
00:34:07.58\00:34:10.25
Yeah. Wow!
00:34:10.28\00:34:12.01
That's great, wonderful.
00:34:12.05\00:34:14.55
One of the
highlights for me Danny,
00:34:14.58\00:34:16.45
is on this trip is
working with David Brillhart
00:34:16.48\00:34:20.69
and I wanted to say the
amazing David Brillhart.
00:34:20.72\00:34:23.79
He's somebody that
had heard about for years
00:34:23.83\00:34:26.70
that's working in Maranatha.
00:34:26.73\00:34:28.06
He is their, would you
say there head of their,
00:34:28.10\00:34:31.57
what would his title be there?
00:34:31.60\00:34:34.14
He came, I mean,
I worked with him,
00:34:34.17\00:34:36.40
when he was
contractor with Maranatha.
00:34:36.44\00:34:38.37
But I think his title there now,
00:34:38.41\00:34:40.11
is something
director of online media.
00:34:40.14\00:34:43.04
Okay.
00:34:43.08\00:34:44.41
But I had heard
about his work for years
00:34:44.45\00:34:45.85
and then several years ago,
00:34:45.88\00:34:47.42
I actually was able to
meet with him in person
00:34:47.45\00:34:49.58
out in California.
00:34:49.62\00:34:51.35
And we were planning a
program for Kids Time Mission.
00:34:51.39\00:34:54.76
That's was going
to be the name of it,
00:34:54.79\00:34:56.12
and I was so thrilled to be
working with him, and excited.
00:34:56.16\00:34:59.23
But it was
something that never happened,
00:34:59.26\00:35:01.13
because again,
timing his schedule,
00:35:01.16\00:35:04.07
he travels all over the world.
00:35:04.10\00:35:05.43
And my schedule we
could never get time together.
00:35:05.47\00:35:07.60
I had even contacted
you, and you wrote the song.
00:35:07.64\00:35:09.87
You know, for the
theme song for it.
00:35:09.90\00:35:11.77
And in fact, it's on
your Love Rules' album
00:35:11.81\00:35:13.74
which is amazing
you know, CD as well,
00:35:13.78\00:35:16.28
but that song is an awesome song
00:35:16.31\00:35:18.58
that you wrote.
00:35:18.61\00:35:19.95
He wrote in four
minutes and was it, 32 seconds.
00:35:19.98\00:35:23.79
That's serious.
00:35:23.82\00:35:25.15
That's what she
says, I didn't know.
00:35:25.19\00:35:26.52
I know because I
had it on my phone
00:35:26.55\00:35:27.92
from the time I
first called him to,
00:35:27.96\00:35:30.26
and pleaded with
him to write the song
00:35:30.29\00:35:32.13
and from the time he called back
00:35:32.16\00:35:34.80
was 4 minutes and 32 seconds.
00:35:34.83\00:35:36.46
So, exactly probably shorter
00:35:36.50\00:35:37.87
than that you actually wrote it.
00:35:37.90\00:35:39.47
Because you had
to take time to call.
00:35:39.50\00:35:41.94
And put his guitar down.
00:35:41.97\00:35:43.30
I don't remember all that so,
00:35:43.34\00:35:44.67
But God gave you that
song and it was amazing song
00:35:44.71\00:35:46.78
and so I really
wanted this program
00:35:46.81\00:35:48.88
but it never happened.
00:35:48.91\00:35:50.25
Danny, I prayed
about it, prayed about
00:35:50.28\00:35:51.61
but this where
God's timing is perfect.
00:35:51.65\00:35:53.48
A week, a week before
we're to go on the trip,
00:35:53.52\00:35:57.72
my director was had a
you know, a medical emergency
00:35:57.75\00:36:02.39
and was not able to come
and when Danny called and said,
00:36:02.42\00:36:06.23
"Brenda, I've got
some bad news for you."
00:36:06.26\00:36:07.73
and then he's telling me,
00:36:07.76\00:36:09.10
"Danny, didn't I
even once say to you?"
00:36:09.13\00:36:10.87
"Oh, we need him,
00:36:10.90\00:36:12.23
you got to go, he's got to go."
00:36:12.27\00:36:13.60
Did I even once? No. No.
00:36:13.64\00:36:14.97
I was like, okay.
00:36:15.00\00:36:16.34
I was prepaid for
it but, you didn't.
00:36:16.37\00:36:18.37
I just knew she
won't let it go that easy.
00:36:18.41\00:36:20.48
She's very
persistent, very persistent
00:36:20.51\00:36:23.35
if she wants something.
00:36:23.38\00:36:24.71
Trust me.
00:36:24.75\00:36:26.08
Hey, when I know
God wants something,
00:36:26.11\00:36:27.45
and I'm gonna get the job done,
whatever God asking me to do.
00:36:27.48\00:36:29.95
So, your right, when I know
00:36:29.98\00:36:31.32
it's the Lord you know, leading.
00:36:31.35\00:36:32.79
Well, anyway I didn't feel
impressed to plead or anything,
00:36:32.82\00:36:35.76
I was like okay,
God's got a better plan.
00:36:35.79\00:36:37.69
You know, that's
really how I felt
00:36:37.73\00:36:39.06
and I immediately
got on the phone to Bruce
00:36:39.09\00:36:41.06
and I just shared the
situation when I said,
00:36:41.10\00:36:43.53
Bruce we need a plan B.
00:36:43.57\00:36:48.00
Because you know, and
he said, "Okay" within a,
00:36:48.04\00:36:50.34
he said, "Well, let
me see what I can do
00:36:50.37\00:36:52.74
and I can make it this
call and there goes in it,
00:36:52.77\00:36:54.78
of course, we've
got David Brillhart
00:36:54.81\00:36:56.24
and I went "what?"
00:36:56.28\00:36:57.61
And he said, "David"
that's it, who is there,
00:36:57.65\00:37:01.08
and he says, who could
maybe could help us out.
00:37:01.12\00:37:02.65
And I said, David and
he goes David Brillhart
00:37:02.68\00:37:04.29
and I went, oh, my word, no way.
00:37:04.32\00:37:06.96
I had not even an idea
that he was even gonna be there.
00:37:06.99\00:37:09.59
It was already
planning on being there,
00:37:09.62\00:37:11.03
and I was beyond excited
00:37:11.06\00:37:12.59
in fact, I was
telling Bruce earlier,
00:37:12.63\00:37:14.63
I said, when we
got off the phone
00:37:14.66\00:37:16.00
and I was like, I
looked at Melissa, my assistant
00:37:16.03\00:37:17.70
and I go David
Brillhart is gonna be in India.
00:37:17.73\00:37:21.30
So, I was so excited,
I said, isn't God good?
00:37:21.34\00:37:24.57
I couldn't believe it.
00:37:24.61\00:37:25.94
I really was truly,
here I've been wanted
00:37:25.97\00:37:27.58
to work with them for so
long and God just arranged that.
00:37:27.61\00:37:30.91
And used you to do it
00:37:30.95\00:37:32.28
and I just, I was beyond blessed
00:37:32.31\00:37:34.62
and this is amazing
and nobody does this
00:37:34.65\00:37:38.42
and people know in the,
00:37:38.45\00:37:40.32
in the media
world nobody does this.
00:37:40.36\00:37:42.16
He was, he literally
gave us every single thing
00:37:42.19\00:37:45.33
that he photographed.
00:37:45.36\00:37:46.70
He just gave it to us.
00:37:46.73\00:37:48.63
So you tend to ruin it.
00:37:48.66\00:37:50.00
As well as that,
00:37:50.03\00:37:51.37
he's the one
who contacted Debbie
00:37:51.40\00:37:52.73
and put us together with her.
00:37:52.77\00:37:54.10
Exactly.
00:37:54.14\00:37:55.47
So she could come and help out.
00:37:55.50\00:37:56.84
And see, and I believed God,
00:37:56.87\00:37:58.21
He had another huge bigger plan.
00:37:58.24\00:37:59.87
'Cause God you know, thinks big
and He want's us to think big,
00:37:59.91\00:38:02.54
so you know, I would
have never met Debbie,
00:38:02.58\00:38:04.71
to even invite her to be
our director of you know,
00:38:04.75\00:38:07.18
program for our Kids network.
00:38:07.22\00:38:08.62
So see isn't God
good how He works,
00:38:08.65\00:38:10.69
I mean, it's amazing.
00:38:10.72\00:38:13.02
She's gonna keep
bringing that up.
00:38:13.05\00:38:14.39
Yeah, clearly.
00:38:14.42\00:38:15.76
You're gonna be hearing
this quite a bit for sometime.
00:38:15.79\00:38:18.43
So for sure, so we
have some more video.
00:38:18.46\00:38:20.36
What are we gonna have next?
00:38:20.40\00:38:21.83
We got the media
team coming up here.
00:38:21.86\00:38:23.20
Yeah, in fact, I'm let's
watch the interview with David.
00:38:23.23\00:38:27.34
David Brillhart is not
just the amazing producer,
00:38:27.37\00:38:31.01
he is a friend
and a mentor to me.
00:38:31.04\00:38:32.91
And you know, when
David came to Maranatha
00:38:32.94\00:38:36.24
you know, we had the opportunity
00:38:36.28\00:38:37.61
to work together.
00:38:37.65\00:38:39.51
And everything you
say about him is true.
00:38:39.55\00:38:42.88
Thank you.
00:38:42.92\00:38:44.29
Well, I what a
privilege it has to be for you
00:38:44.32\00:38:47.49
to have worked
with him you know,
00:38:47.52\00:38:48.99
throughout the years as well.
00:38:49.02\00:38:50.36
And can I just say
Debbie, and I'm sure
00:38:50.39\00:38:53.80
it's been your experience
too but I can speak for myself.
00:38:53.83\00:38:56.80
He's a very humble man,
00:38:56.83\00:38:58.17
and he is like the
top of the food chain
00:38:58.20\00:39:00.54
for you know, photography
00:39:00.57\00:39:02.40
and he could be
making a gazillion dollars,
00:39:02.44\00:39:05.81
for anybody else in Hollywood
and yet he has dedicated,
00:39:05.84\00:39:09.04
you've have dedicated
your life to Jesus and to,
00:39:09.08\00:39:11.51
bringing you know,
God's work to people
00:39:11.55\00:39:14.72
so that they can
see what goes on here.
00:39:14.75\00:39:16.62
And that they can be
inspired to do more for Jesus
00:39:16.65\00:39:20.02
and wow, I got a,
wouldn't you say Debbie,
00:39:20.06\00:39:23.06
that you know, of all the people
00:39:23.09\00:39:24.43
you've worked
with he's at the top.
00:39:24.46\00:39:26.19
No, he is.
00:39:26.23\00:39:27.56
He knows his stuff,
and I know you hate this.
00:39:27.60\00:39:30.13
But you know what?
00:39:30.17\00:39:31.50
This is Brenda, Miss Brenda
and I'll have this discussion,
00:39:31.53\00:39:33.64
you just close your ears.
00:39:33.67\00:39:35.00
Yeah, yeah.
00:39:35.04\00:39:36.37
No, David he knows his stuff.
00:39:36.40\00:39:37.74
He is a good cinematographer
00:39:37.77\00:39:39.11
and I just love working with him
00:39:39.14\00:39:40.84
because I learned so much.
00:39:40.88\00:39:42.58
I'll tell you what's
fascinating, over the years,
00:39:42.61\00:39:44.65
I've worked with a lot
of people in the industry
00:39:44.68\00:39:47.55
who are not
members of our church,
00:39:47.58\00:39:51.35
maybe not even churched people.
00:39:51.39\00:39:53.22
And every time, I think okay,
00:39:53.25\00:39:56.19
I would like to do
something different,
00:39:56.22\00:39:57.56
something bigger, better,
00:39:57.59\00:39:58.93
you know the
big show as it were,
00:39:58.96\00:40:01.83
I'm reminded often by them,
00:40:01.86\00:40:03.67
when they come and they
work in these kinds of settings
00:40:03.70\00:40:06.10
and they see what we do,
they go, you have the best.
00:40:06.13\00:40:09.97
"This is always my
favorite thing to do."
00:40:10.01\00:40:11.71
That's what they tell me.
00:40:11.74\00:40:13.07
When I come and I work with you,
00:40:13.11\00:40:14.54
and I get to tell stories
that are really meaningful,
00:40:14.58\00:40:18.41
it moves people.
00:40:18.45\00:40:20.25
And so that's
why I keep doing it.
00:40:20.28\00:40:24.35
Let's see some
more of the media team
00:40:24.39\00:40:26.15
behind the scenes with
her that are working there.
00:40:26.19\00:40:31.49
This is I was
doing interviews at the,
00:40:31.53\00:40:34.36
you know, the time
with different kids
00:40:34.40\00:40:36.77
and different people
involved in Maranatha project.
00:40:36.80\00:40:39.47
But this behind the scenes.
00:40:39.50\00:40:40.84
Nobody really even talks
about, who tells the story
00:40:40.87\00:40:42.80
for all the
Maranatha mission programs
00:40:42.84\00:40:45.07
and there's David you know,
behind the scene if you know.
00:40:45.11\00:40:47.91
One of those
puppies out there. Yeah.
00:40:47.94\00:40:50.45
That's a random elephant.
00:40:50.48\00:40:51.81
Yeah, random elephant
out there and there's Debbie.
00:40:51.85\00:40:54.48
And she's getting
the shots and all.
00:40:54.52\00:40:55.85
Both of those always
had there cameras going.
00:40:55.88\00:40:57.59
There's Melissa, my assistant
00:40:57.62\00:40:59.29
and she was
helping out with words
00:40:59.32\00:41:01.59
that's in the program.
00:41:01.62\00:41:03.99
And there's Joe
Baker who runs audio
00:41:04.03\00:41:07.10
and also he was running camera,
and Joe I think can do it all.
00:41:07.13\00:41:10.73
If you talk about a topnotch
in there field with audio,
00:41:10.77\00:41:14.24
he's one of the best.
00:41:14.27\00:41:16.71
And he works right here at 3ABN.
00:41:16.74\00:41:18.77
Yeah, that's right.
00:41:18.81\00:41:20.14
And he's gonna stay
Brenda, you know, just in case.
00:41:20.18\00:41:25.21
The Lord is not calling him
for Kids Time so you'll know.
00:41:25.25\00:41:26.58
Here we are in a tea
garden right over there
00:41:26.61\00:41:28.28
and Debbie is shooting that.
00:41:28.32\00:41:29.82
It was a really
just amazing time.
00:41:29.85\00:41:32.45
I'm here on the
set with Dr. Grace.
00:41:32.49\00:41:35.06
Grace. Yeah. Dr. Grace Kim
00:41:35.09\00:41:36.76
And she was heading up
the whole medical team.
00:41:36.79\00:41:40.20
And what a precious
Christian women she is.
00:41:40.23\00:41:42.26
She gave a incredible testimony
00:41:42.30\00:41:43.87
which you're
gonna see the special.
00:41:43.90\00:41:45.23
We're doing our one hour special
00:41:45.27\00:41:47.14
that we'll air
in our Kids network
00:41:47.17\00:41:48.67
and hopefully our
3ABN network as well.
00:41:48.70\00:41:51.21
And it's Miss
Brenda Goes To India.
00:41:51.24\00:41:52.77
You know. Sure.
00:41:52.81\00:41:54.14
It's, it's...
00:41:54.18\00:41:55.51
It's look like we
have enough foot age
00:41:55.54\00:41:56.88
to do a number of programs
00:41:56.91\00:41:58.25
to really see what you're doing.
00:41:58.28\00:41:59.75
And what we're talking about,
00:41:59.78\00:42:01.18
the fun, and
organization put it together
00:42:01.22\00:42:03.52
but, we always have to go
back to the lives being changed
00:42:03.55\00:42:06.86
to see these young
kids from where they were,
00:42:06.89\00:42:09.19
and I know, when I was there
00:42:09.22\00:42:10.56
many of them were
literally were homeless.
00:42:10.59\00:42:11.96
Got them off the streets,
put them into these schools,
00:42:11.99\00:42:14.46
their whole lives were changed.
00:42:14.50\00:42:16.63
And it's
amazing, amazing ministry,
00:42:16.67\00:42:18.50
if you affected lives of kids,
00:42:18.53\00:42:20.34
a lot of the
adults, the parents also.
00:42:20.37\00:42:23.30
What an amazing ministry.
00:42:23.34\00:42:24.67
Jesus says, "Go ye
into all the world."
00:42:24.71\00:42:27.44
And so what you're all are
doing is just lifting up Jesus.
00:42:27.48\00:42:30.55
Now you don't have to be out,
you know with these young kids,
00:42:30.58\00:42:33.42
beating them over
the head with religion.
00:42:33.45\00:42:35.58
You just show them Jesus
and they haven't seen that
00:42:35.62\00:42:38.25
and then that's
why Jesus says that.
00:42:38.29\00:42:40.46
They will be
able to reorganize us,
00:42:40.49\00:42:41.82
so you going over there,
loving these young people,
00:42:41.86\00:42:44.29
changes their lives forever.
00:42:44.33\00:42:46.29
And it's good for
those of us at home,
00:42:46.33\00:42:48.60
maybe, many of
you that aren't going
00:42:48.63\00:42:50.63
you can support financially.
00:42:50.67\00:42:52.53
In a little bit
will put up a dress
00:42:52.57\00:42:54.54
how you can support Maranatha
for what they're doing.
00:42:54.57\00:42:57.47
Incredible ministry
and thank you guys so much
00:42:57.51\00:43:00.54
for what you're doing too.
00:43:00.58\00:43:01.91
I think we may
another video or two.
00:43:01.94\00:43:03.41
Well, one of the big
highlights for me Danny was,
00:43:03.45\00:43:07.12
for the very first time,
00:43:07.15\00:43:09.15
these kids were able to
watch our Kids Time program.
00:43:09.18\00:43:12.65
Our good friends,
00:43:12.69\00:43:14.02
who is our Dicken Lucy Neuharth.
00:43:14.06\00:43:17.06
Lucy is our
wardrobe designer at 3ABN.
00:43:17.09\00:43:19.93
She donated the money for us
00:43:19.96\00:43:21.60
to donate some
products to the school.
00:43:21.63\00:43:23.83
And we had, you know,
00:43:23.87\00:43:26.33
my Miss Brenda's
bed time story books,
00:43:26.37\00:43:28.27
and my audio books
00:43:28.30\00:43:29.64
and whole set of
Kids Time programs,
00:43:29.67\00:43:31.57
Tiny Tots program, I mean,
00:43:31.61\00:43:33.68
but guess what here
brought all those product over
00:43:33.71\00:43:36.58
and they didn't have a,
00:43:36.61\00:43:39.81
I said, do you have DVD
player? And they went, yes.
00:43:39.85\00:43:42.88
And I said, and do you have
a television they said, yes.
00:43:42.92\00:43:46.55
Well, that's
when I got educated,
00:43:46.59\00:43:48.22
with the bobble head.
00:43:48.26\00:43:52.39
Oh, yeah, right.
Bruce has it down path.
00:43:52.43\00:43:54.46
Yeah, he did.
00:43:54.50\00:43:55.83
And he doesn't mean
that they really did have it,
00:43:55.86\00:43:57.90
it was just you know.
00:43:57.93\00:44:00.04
Well, it was miraculous Brenda,
00:44:00.07\00:44:01.70
because we had one
of our team members,
00:44:01.74\00:44:04.67
somebody came to
them just before the trip.
00:44:04.71\00:44:07.21
And gave them
enough money to buy,
00:44:07.24\00:44:09.28
just gave them some
random amount of money.
00:44:09.31\00:44:11.28
If you can find something
to do with the kid's do it.
00:44:11.31\00:44:14.18
So, we were able to
pick up a TV and a DVD player
00:44:14.22\00:44:18.02
the speaker
system, an audio system.
00:44:18.05\00:44:21.09
And four computers,
and five or six dust pans,
00:44:21.12\00:44:24.63
waste baskets.
00:44:24.66\00:44:25.99
Unbelievable, so and then also
the Kids' Time Praise tracks.
00:44:26.03\00:44:29.43
If you listen, now I
think he'll bring the sound up.
00:44:29.46\00:44:31.27
This is Jimmy
Rhodes on the organ
00:44:37.21\00:44:39.07
and I'm on the piano
00:44:39.11\00:44:40.44
and we had made the
tracks, and song books
00:44:40.48\00:44:42.04
and had given it to the,
00:44:42.08\00:44:43.58
They wouldn't have
been able to sing with,
00:44:43.61\00:44:45.85
you know, organ
and piano before.
00:44:45.88\00:44:47.68
And now they have
you know, 62 songs
00:44:47.72\00:44:49.78
that they can be
singing with each day
00:44:49.82\00:44:51.69
and because now you
donated the you know,
00:44:51.72\00:44:53.76
because of that donation
00:44:53.79\00:44:55.12
they can actually
utilize those products.
00:44:55.16\00:44:56.83
And you
should've seen those kids,
00:44:56.86\00:44:58.23
they love those songs.
00:44:58.26\00:44:59.63
And it was, I want to make,
00:44:59.66\00:45:02.33
say special thank
you to Jimmy Rhodes
00:45:02.36\00:45:04.20
who donated all this time
00:45:04.23\00:45:05.57
to that project
to that for them.
00:45:05.60\00:45:08.07
And now here in
India, they're singing along
00:45:08.10\00:45:11.07
and it's amazing and
it was such a thrill to me
00:45:11.11\00:45:13.88
just to have them to know
00:45:13.91\00:45:15.51
and see them watching
Kids Time for the first time.
00:45:15.54\00:45:18.08
They were
mesmerized. They were riveted.
00:45:18.11\00:45:22.02
They were riveted on that screen
00:45:22.05\00:45:23.79
and they were
watching and listing
00:45:23.82\00:45:25.35
and you can see there
were just soaking it all in.
00:45:25.39\00:45:27.99
It's gonna be a
great tool for that school.
00:45:28.02\00:45:30.59
As well, for learning
English on top of that
00:45:30.63\00:45:33.96
learning about
Jesus and let them to sing
00:45:34.00\00:45:36.03
and all the verses and the--
00:45:36.06\00:45:37.97
that are all involved with that.
00:45:38.00\00:45:40.00
And in fact, when I was telling,
00:45:40.04\00:45:42.47
when we were saying good bye,
00:45:42.50\00:45:43.84
they all lined up
against the street,
00:45:43.87\00:45:45.34
along the street
for us to stop our buses
00:45:45.37\00:45:47.28
and say good by to them.
00:45:47.31\00:45:48.88
And so many people
said, you're staying with us,
00:45:48.91\00:45:51.71
you're staying with us.
00:45:51.75\00:45:53.08
And I didn't know
what they meant at first.
00:45:53.11\00:45:55.25
And then when--
I said, so I asked
00:45:55.28\00:45:57.75
when after three or
four people said that.
00:45:57.79\00:45:59.49
"I'm so glad you
are staying with us."
00:45:59.52\00:46:00.86
And I said,
"No. I'm not staying.
00:46:00.89\00:46:02.22
And they said, "No,
through Kids Time DVD"
00:46:02.26\00:46:05.16
I'm like, oh, that
I'm staying with them
00:46:05.19\00:46:07.66
through the Kids Time programs.
00:46:07.70\00:46:09.56
But I want to share
it with you too that,
00:46:09.60\00:46:13.54
at Maranatha
projects, they work really hard,
00:46:13.57\00:46:16.60
you praise Jesus, you know,
with the worships each evening
00:46:16.64\00:46:20.08
we're just wonderful and also,
00:46:20.11\00:46:22.11
we played
together and at the end,
00:46:22.14\00:46:23.65
you know, we went to on a safari
00:46:23.68\00:46:26.41
and I have a little
clip of an elephant ride.
00:46:26.45\00:46:29.35
Oh, good, all right.
00:46:29.38\00:46:31.65
Boys and girls,
this is so exciting.
00:46:31.69\00:46:33.99
We're here on a safari
and I'm riding an elephant
00:46:34.02\00:46:37.26
and this is Debbie
and Melissa with me.
00:46:37.29\00:46:39.76
And this
elephant has two babies,
00:46:39.79\00:46:42.76
and there's another friend
that's gonna take it along too.
00:46:42.80\00:46:46.37
We're excited because
we've already seen a rhino,
00:46:46.40\00:46:49.10
we've seen some...
00:46:49.14\00:46:50.47
Lots of rhinos. Lots of rhinos.
00:46:50.51\00:46:51.84
And some special deer
that are from this region
00:46:51.87\00:46:56.11
and even the wild pigs so,
00:46:56.14\00:46:58.71
our elephant driver tell us
that we might even see a tiger.
00:46:58.75\00:47:02.92
Wouldn't that be exciting? Yeah.
00:47:02.95\00:47:05.49
Well, I didn't think about it,
00:47:17.87\00:47:19.83
there's an
elephant driver she said,
00:47:19.87\00:47:21.57
he's an elephant driver.
00:47:21.60\00:47:23.20
Is that they way
you, I'm not sure what...
00:47:23.24\00:47:25.64
Well, doesn't it have
a steering wheel but...
00:47:25.67\00:47:27.31
Yeah. Yeah.
00:47:27.34\00:47:28.68
The one Brenda was on
had a steering wheel on it.
00:47:28.71\00:47:31.51
Elephant driver.
00:47:31.55\00:47:34.12
You know, I had to tell you,
you looked really out of place.
00:47:34.15\00:47:37.69
I don't think I
have ever seen you
00:47:37.72\00:47:39.22
in anymore out of
place on top of an elephant.
00:47:39.25\00:47:42.16
That is not Brenda
Walsh on top of that.
00:47:42.19\00:47:44.66
But it is interesting.
00:47:44.69\00:47:46.03
But first thing, they
didn't' have my high heels,
00:47:46.06\00:47:47.40
so everyone knows that
I always dress up before
00:47:47.43\00:47:49.16
and I got my high heels.
00:47:49.20\00:47:50.77
You should have seen
here riding that rickshaw.
00:47:50.80\00:47:52.93
Oh, we got a picture.
00:47:52.97\00:47:54.30
You think she looked out
of her place on an elephant,
00:47:54.34\00:47:55.67
you should have seen
her on the peddle rickshaw.
00:47:55.70\00:47:57.84
Were we, we
actually had some videos
00:47:57.87\00:47:59.57
that's gonna be in
our one hour special.
00:47:59.61\00:48:01.74
Of me riding a bicycle, and--
00:48:01.78\00:48:04.98
Who's your driver?
And then I decided.
00:48:05.01\00:48:07.42
Local guy.
00:48:07.45\00:48:08.78
You know what, Bruce I
think you'll be a better driver
00:48:08.82\00:48:10.15
so Bruce drove the rickshaw
00:48:10.19\00:48:12.09
and I got in with Jackie and we,
00:48:12.12\00:48:15.82
it was a fun time and people
were really excited about it.
00:48:15.86\00:48:18.16
Within seconds after
I jumped on the rickshaw
00:48:18.19\00:48:20.86
I mean, they must've been--
00:48:20.90\00:48:22.23
how many people
taking the picture,
00:48:22.26\00:48:23.73
you know that
we're so festinated,
00:48:23.77\00:48:26.43
I think of this
crazy American white women
00:48:26.47\00:48:28.30
that's on this,
driving this rickshaw but...
00:48:28.34\00:48:31.97
We have about a
three, four minutes left,
00:48:32.01\00:48:33.91
before we go to break Debbie,
00:48:33.94\00:48:35.71
there's folks at
home watching this
00:48:35.74\00:48:37.91
and they would maybe they're
contemplating doing something
00:48:37.95\00:48:41.25
but they say, you know, look
00:48:41.28\00:48:42.62
I'm a mother I've
got two, three kids
00:48:42.65\00:48:44.95
and you know, I work
part time or I'm a home maker.
00:48:44.99\00:48:48.12
I just can't get away,
00:48:48.16\00:48:49.49
I mean, I'd love to
go some place like India.
00:48:49.52\00:48:52.29
But, you did it. Tell
us bout your children.
00:48:52.33\00:48:55.93
Well, I have a
very supportive husband,
00:48:55.96\00:48:57.93
and if it wasn't
for that you know,
00:48:57.97\00:49:00.04
I wouldn't be going anywhere.
00:49:00.07\00:49:02.14
But, you know, even if
can't personally go yourself,
00:49:02.17\00:49:08.31
you can support
someone else to go.
00:49:08.34\00:49:10.98
And you know, a young person,
00:49:11.01\00:49:13.52
there was a
mother on this project
00:49:13.55\00:49:14.88
with a mother of four,
and her kid's are older.
00:49:14.92\00:49:16.89
They are in college now.
00:49:16.92\00:49:18.25
But she was there because
people sponsored her to go.
00:49:18.29\00:49:20.62
You know, and you
know, as your friends,
00:49:20.66\00:49:22.82
you know, even if you are
a mother with small children,
00:49:22.86\00:49:25.19
I would love to take
my children to India.
00:49:25.23\00:49:26.86
That is my dream because,
00:49:26.90\00:49:28.70
not until you plant that
seed in your child for missions
00:49:28.73\00:49:32.23
and that the world
doesn't revolve around them,
00:49:32.27\00:49:34.07
I'm a firm
believer in that. Wow.
00:49:34.10\00:49:35.60
I want my kid's
one day to be in India
00:49:35.64\00:49:38.74
and to experience it.
00:49:38.77\00:49:40.38
Because they'll be
with them for life.
00:49:40.41\00:49:42.08
Very, very brilliant,
that's brilliant with your kids.
00:49:42.11\00:49:44.71
You want to take them,
00:49:44.75\00:49:46.68
because as you
left your heart there,
00:49:46.72\00:49:48.95
you find out these you kids,
00:49:48.98\00:49:50.32
well, same thing
will happen to them.
00:49:50.35\00:49:52.52
And they see what it's like
00:49:52.55\00:49:53.96
and what an impact it
makes on other people's lives.
00:49:53.99\00:49:57.66
And what a joy it is to make
other people happy and healthy
00:49:57.69\00:50:01.50
because you take a whole team
00:50:01.53\00:50:03.06
and so that's
what neat about it.
00:50:03.10\00:50:04.67
You took your
builders over there
00:50:04.70\00:50:06.23
but you took people teaching
and having fun with the kids,
00:50:06.27\00:50:10.97
you take your medical team
00:50:11.01\00:50:12.64
I mean, it's like
you literally go in
00:50:12.67\00:50:15.08
and the whole
community is changed.
00:50:15.11\00:50:17.08
And when people see
that, just you said Brenda,
00:50:17.11\00:50:19.65
you can leave but you
don't really leave anyway.
00:50:19.68\00:50:22.42
Because they see
what you have done,
00:50:22.45\00:50:24.29
and the Jesus that the
people who are infected,
00:50:24.32\00:50:27.79
affected, or
infected with a love of Christ
00:50:27.82\00:50:30.39
and they're gonna share
that with all of these other
00:50:30.43\00:50:32.49
so, only in heaven
00:50:32.53\00:50:34.36
will we be able to see
the results of the ministry
00:50:34.40\00:50:37.77
of Maranatha, the
Fjarlis, McNeiluses,
00:50:37.80\00:50:41.47
all of those and
all you volunteers,
00:50:41.50\00:50:43.30
folks who are volunteering
and maybe you're there just,
00:50:43.34\00:50:45.87
I've seen on
some of these trips,
00:50:45.91\00:50:47.98
people 80 years old,
even one lady was 90 years old
00:50:48.01\00:50:51.11
and never done drive wall.
00:50:51.15\00:50:52.51
She's done drive
wall nearly 90 years old,
00:50:52.55\00:50:54.72
teaching how to do it.
00:50:54.75\00:50:56.15
And I mean, it's amazing
00:50:56.18\00:50:58.29
to what it does for these people
00:50:58.32\00:51:00.36
to bring hope and joy
to someone else's life.
00:51:00.39\00:51:04.49
And thank you so
much for what you do,
00:51:04.53\00:51:06.39
your family and your leadership
and all of you for going.
00:51:06.43\00:51:09.96
What we would like to do here
00:51:10.00\00:51:11.33
we want to put up an
address on the screen
00:51:11.37\00:51:13.13
in just a moment and we'll
put up a Maranatha's address.
00:51:13.17\00:51:16.40
If the Holy Spirit is impressing
00:51:16.44\00:51:18.41
and you would like to support
00:51:18.44\00:51:20.21
and maybe you just want
to say this is for someone
00:51:20.24\00:51:23.45
that wants to volunteer
to go or maybe you say,
00:51:23.48\00:51:25.88
this is for the actual
cost, building a church,
00:51:25.91\00:51:28.65
a building a school
and maybe tell Don Noble,
00:51:28.68\00:51:32.32
"Hey, this is what Lord
has impressed us to give."
00:51:32.35\00:51:35.26
And we know that it's gonna
be souls for the kingdom of God.
00:51:35.29\00:51:37.86
Because one day, very soon
00:51:37.89\00:51:40.46
we're gonna be neighbors
with those folks in heaven.
00:51:40.50\00:51:43.20
And wouldn't it be
great to say you guys and say,
00:51:43.23\00:51:45.53
"Hey, well, we met back
in such and such you know,
00:51:45.57\00:51:49.04
we met back then."
00:51:49.07\00:51:50.51
But those of you, who
can't go you can pray,
00:51:50.54\00:51:52.74
you can help financially.
00:51:52.77\00:51:54.24
So what we would like to do is
00:51:54.28\00:51:55.61
we'll put the
address up on the screen
00:51:55.64\00:51:57.01
then we'll go to news break,
00:51:57.05\00:51:58.38
and we'll be back
for closing thought.
00:51:58.41\00:52:01.78
