I want to spend my life
00:00:01.56\00:00:07.47
Mending broken people
00:00:07.50\00:00:12.44
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.47\00:00:18.71
Removing pain
00:00:18.75\00:00:23.72
Lord, let my words
00:00:23.75\00:00:29.89
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:29.92\00:00:34.43
I want to spend my life
00:00:34.46\00:00:40.24
Mending broken people
00:00:40.27\00:00:45.71
I want to spend my life
00:00:45.74\00:00:51.18
Mending broken people.
00:00:51.21\00:00:54.95
Hello, I'm Shelley Quinn
00:01:07.20\00:01:08.53
and we welcome you
once again to 3ABN Today.
00:01:08.56\00:01:12.03
We're so glad you're
sharing a little bit of your day
00:01:12.07\00:01:14.40
with us.
00:01:14.44\00:01:15.77
And I think you will be blessed.
00:01:15.80\00:01:17.37
This is going to
be excellent program
00:01:17.41\00:01:19.74
because it's an excellent topic.
00:01:19.77\00:01:21.44
We're gonna be
talking about true education
00:01:21.48\00:01:24.55
and the importance of
bringing our children up
00:01:24.58\00:01:27.98
in a balanced manner.
00:01:28.02\00:01:29.65
Let me share a
scripture with you.
00:01:29.68\00:01:32.05
It's one of my
favorites, Psalm 16:11
00:01:32.09\00:01:35.19
and this is what the Bible says,
00:01:35.22\00:01:37.79
"You will show
me the path of life;
00:01:37.83\00:01:40.86
In your presence
is fullness of joy;
00:01:40.90\00:01:43.97
At your right hand are
pleasures forevermore."
00:01:44.00\00:01:48.90
I'm so thankful that God
showed me the path of life.
00:01:48.94\00:01:52.61
The one regret that I have
00:01:52.64\00:01:55.71
is that I didn't learn
his path of life earlier
00:01:55.74\00:01:59.95
and it's so important
00:01:59.98\00:02:01.55
that as we're
training up our children,
00:02:01.58\00:02:03.72
not only that they be
educated in scholastic areas
00:02:03.75\00:02:09.99
but that also they
learn to have a true, deep,
00:02:10.03\00:02:14.53
intimate relationship
with the Lord Jesus Christ
00:02:14.56\00:02:17.67
and God the Father
00:02:17.70\00:02:19.03
that they learn that
it is the Holy Spirit
00:02:19.07\00:02:22.17
who empowers us to live
as God wants us to live.
00:02:22.20\00:02:26.91
That He works in us to
willing to do His good pleasure
00:02:26.94\00:02:29.94
and to learn a
really good work ethic
00:02:29.98\00:02:32.81
because that is very critical.
00:02:32.85\00:02:34.88
So let me
introduce our special guest.
00:02:34.92\00:02:37.59
And we have with us today
00:02:37.62\00:02:39.15
the gentlemen
from DayStar Academy,
00:02:39.19\00:02:42.09
and we have Randy Ward
00:02:42.12\00:02:43.83
who is the Vice
president of DayStar sacred.
00:02:43.86\00:02:47.10
Interim.
00:02:47.13\00:02:48.46
Interim Vice
president, all right,
00:02:48.50\00:02:50.63
and this is DayStar
Adventist Academy, I should say.
00:02:50.67\00:02:54.60
And then we have
with us Matt Dealy.
00:02:54.64\00:02:57.41
And Matt, I asked you
00:02:57.44\00:02:59.44
what you do and you
say, "I'm a farmer."
00:02:59.47\00:03:02.34
That's right.
00:03:02.38\00:03:03.71
So you're kind
of the farm manager,
00:03:03.75\00:03:06.21
assistant farm manager there
for DayStar Adventist Academy
00:03:06.25\00:03:11.59
and tell us just
where it's located.
00:03:11.62\00:03:14.82
Don't go into any detail
but you're located in a valley?
00:03:14.86\00:03:18.16
In a valley,
00:03:18.19\00:03:19.53
we're about 15
miles east of Moab, Utah.
00:03:19.56\00:03:23.97
And we're about
three and half miles up
00:03:24.00\00:03:25.90
from the
beautiful Colorado River.
00:03:25.93\00:03:27.47
Oh, and it is a beautiful
spot, I saw some of the pictures
00:03:27.50\00:03:31.11
that we're gonna be sharing
with you in just a moment,
00:03:31.14\00:03:34.91
but before we begin on
this wonderful journey,
00:03:34.94\00:03:38.45
we're going to have a song.
00:03:38.48\00:03:40.62
And I know how
much you love music.
00:03:40.65\00:03:43.35
Stephanie Dawn is just--
00:03:43.39\00:03:45.32
She's friend of 3ABN.
00:03:45.35\00:03:46.69
But she's a
precious, precious woman
00:03:46.72\00:03:50.09
that has deep a
relationship with the Lord
00:03:50.13\00:03:53.60
and he's helped her to,
00:03:53.63\00:03:56.30
in spite of some
physical challenges,
00:03:56.33\00:04:00.54
God has gifted her
with a beautiful voice
00:04:00.57\00:04:03.37
and she sings for His glory.
00:04:03.41\00:04:04.87
So she's gonna be
singing a song called "Grace"
00:04:04.91\00:04:08.34
and Dann Thornton will be
accompanying her on the piano.
00:04:08.38\00:04:11.48
My heart is so proud
00:04:21.92\00:04:26.26
My mind is so unfocused
00:04:26.29\00:04:30.80
I see the things
You do through me
00:04:30.83\00:04:35.34
As great things I have done
00:04:35.37\00:04:39.84
And now You gently break me
00:04:39.87\00:04:44.18
Then lovingly you take me
00:04:44.21\00:04:48.58
And hold me as my father
00:04:48.62\00:04:53.02
And mold me as my maker
00:04:53.05\00:04:59.23
I ask You, how many
times will you pick me up
00:04:59.26\00:05:04.43
When I keep on letting You down?
00:05:04.47\00:05:08.97
And each time I will
fall short of Your glory
00:05:09.00\00:05:13.54
How far will forgiveness abound?
00:05:13.58\00:05:17.81
Then you answer,
"My child, I love you
00:05:17.85\00:05:22.38
And as long as
you're seeking my face
00:05:22.42\00:05:26.86
You'll walk in the power
of my daily sufficient grace
00:05:26.89\00:05:34.36
At times I may grow weak
00:05:40.04\00:05:44.57
And feel a bit discouraged
00:05:44.61\00:05:49.04
Knowing that someone, somewhere
00:05:49.08\00:05:53.18
Could do a better job
00:05:53.21\00:05:57.52
For who am I to serve You?
00:05:57.55\00:06:02.06
I know I don't deserve You
00:06:02.09\00:06:06.29
And that's the part
that burns in my heart
00:06:06.33\00:06:10.80
And keeps me hanging on
00:06:10.83\00:06:14.84
I ask you, how many
times will You pick me up
00:06:14.87\00:06:19.67
When I keep on letting you down?
00:06:19.71\00:06:24.15
And each time I will
fall short of Your glory
00:06:24.18\00:06:28.42
How far will forgiveness abound?
00:06:28.45\00:06:32.59
Then You answer,
"My child, I love you
00:06:32.62\00:06:37.19
And as long as
you're seeking my face
00:06:37.23\00:06:41.60
You'll walk in the power
of my daily sufficient grace
00:06:41.63\00:06:49.54
You are so patient with me, Lord
00:06:51.34\00:06:58.05
As I walk with You
00:07:03.42\00:07:06.12
I'm learning
00:07:06.15\00:07:08.22
What Your grace really means
00:07:08.26\00:07:12.39
The price that I could never pay
00:07:12.43\00:07:16.70
Was paid at Calvary
00:07:16.73\00:07:20.74
So, instead of
trying to repay You
00:07:20.77\00:07:25.24
I'm learning to simply obey You
00:07:25.27\00:07:29.51
By giving up my life to You
00:07:29.54\00:07:33.92
For all that You've given to me
00:07:33.95\00:07:37.85
I ask You, how many
times will you pick me up
00:07:37.89\00:07:42.82
When I keep on letting You down?
00:07:42.86\00:07:47.33
And each time I will
fall short of your glory
00:07:47.36\00:07:51.83
How far will forgiveness abound?
00:07:51.87\00:07:55.87
Then You answer,
"My child, I love you
00:07:55.90\00:08:00.51
And as long as
you're seeking my face
00:08:00.54\00:08:04.88
You'll walk in the power
00:08:04.91\00:08:08.92
Of my daily sufficient grace.
00:08:08.95\00:08:15.22
Oh, thank you, Stephanie Dawn.
00:08:26.63\00:08:28.80
Indeed, Jesus said
00:08:28.84\00:08:30.61
"My grace is sufficient for you
00:08:30.64\00:08:32.24
for power is made
perfect in you're weakness,"
00:08:32.27\00:08:35.08
and that was a
beautiful song sung beautifully
00:08:35.11\00:08:37.78
by a precious
handmaiden of the Lord.
00:08:37.81\00:08:40.95
Well, once again, if you're
joining us just a little late,
00:08:40.98\00:08:44.69
let me introduce
our special guest.
00:08:44.72\00:08:46.32
We have Randy Ward,
00:08:46.35\00:08:47.69
who is the
Interim Vice President
00:08:47.72\00:08:49.56
of DayStar Adventist Academy.
00:08:49.59\00:08:51.76
And we have with us, Matt Dealy,
00:08:51.79\00:08:54.20
the smiling Matt Dealy.
00:08:54.23\00:08:57.43
You are the Assistant
Farm Manager at DayStar,
00:08:57.47\00:09:01.94
and DayStar is there in Utah.
00:09:01.97\00:09:04.97
We're gonna learn
about this academy
00:09:05.01\00:09:07.44
and their special projects
00:09:07.48\00:09:08.81
but more what
we're going to learn
00:09:08.84\00:09:10.85
is their vision
for true education.
00:09:10.88\00:09:14.92
And I think you will enjoy this.
00:09:14.95\00:09:16.72
But let's kind of get to
know you guys just a little bit.
00:09:16.75\00:09:19.89
Randy, were you born into
an Adventist Christian home
00:09:19.92\00:09:23.53
or tell us
little of your journey.
00:09:23.56\00:09:25.23
I was a born into the world.
00:09:25.26\00:09:28.36
For 36 years I
lived in the world
00:09:28.40\00:09:30.67
until I got actually, short,
00:09:30.70\00:09:34.04
I got in trouble with
the internal revenue service.
00:09:34.07\00:09:35.94
They clamed down on me,
00:09:35.97\00:09:37.31
they took everything that I had.
00:09:37.34\00:09:38.67
And I wondered
what use was life.
00:09:38.71\00:09:41.88
And I had a friend
that we would talk,
00:09:41.91\00:09:43.65
and he'd say, you know,
the Bible talks about that.
00:09:43.68\00:09:45.98
And I say, really, it's
just on and off these occasions.
00:09:46.01\00:09:49.12
So when I had that
incidence happening to me,
00:09:49.15\00:09:52.49
I thought, you
know what, I need Jesus.
00:09:52.52\00:09:54.62
So, I called him up,
00:09:54.66\00:09:56.29
"When and where
do you go to church?"
00:09:56.32\00:09:57.66
He said,
"Saturday morning, 9:30.
00:09:57.69\00:09:59.03
Here's where we go."
00:09:59.06\00:10:00.40
I started, studied
with the pastor for a year.
00:10:00.43\00:10:02.70
And after a year, I was baptized
00:10:02.73\00:10:04.83
and my journey's been
with Jesus ever since.
00:10:04.87\00:10:07.74
Wonderful.
00:10:07.77\00:10:09.10
How long have
you been at DayStar?
00:10:09.14\00:10:10.67
Three years. Three years.
00:10:10.71\00:10:12.04
Just completed my third year.
00:10:12.07\00:10:13.44
And I was the boys'
dean for those three years.
00:10:13.48\00:10:16.01
Okay.
00:10:16.04\00:10:17.38
So, it was a
wonderful experience,
00:10:17.41\00:10:19.71
it's a challenge but a blessing
00:10:19.75\00:10:22.22
to make a difference
in a young man's life.
00:10:22.25\00:10:24.15
Amen, amen. So,
Matt, how about you?
00:10:24.19\00:10:29.76
I was raised Adventist,
went through Adventist Schools.
00:10:29.79\00:10:35.26
When I left school, I
started working for myself,
00:10:35.30\00:10:38.80
doing
construction, building houses.
00:10:38.83\00:10:41.54
And I was--
00:10:41.57\00:10:44.64
The economy kind of crashed
00:10:44.67\00:10:46.68
and I went to work on a
commercial construction.
00:10:46.71\00:10:50.15
And one day, I was on a roof
00:10:50.18\00:10:52.11
and I looked out and
as far as I could see,
00:10:52.15\00:10:55.25
I saw storage units
fall at people's stuff.
00:10:55.28\00:10:59.65
And it dawned on me,
00:10:59.69\00:11:01.02
"What am I doing
for the Lords work?"
00:11:01.06\00:11:04.06
And at that time,
we had some friends
00:11:04.09\00:11:07.03
that we met that were
just coming in to the church
00:11:07.06\00:11:09.73
and they started challenging
us with Adventist truth
00:11:09.76\00:11:14.70
from different angle
than we had ever heard
00:11:14.74\00:11:17.61
and we decided--
00:11:17.64\00:11:20.24
I got laid off of work.
00:11:20.28\00:11:21.94
Us? Would that be your wife?
00:11:21.98\00:11:23.38
Me and my wife. Yeah. Okay.
00:11:23.41\00:11:24.75
At that time, we
had two small children.
00:11:24.78\00:11:26.98
And I started to have
00:11:27.02\00:11:31.12
a small interest in agriculture.
00:11:31.15\00:11:32.75
Okay. Before
this, I had no interest.
00:11:32.79\00:11:35.76
I didn't like it all.
00:11:35.79\00:11:37.96
And I read
Philippians 2:12. Yes.
00:11:37.99\00:11:42.06
2:13 actually,
well both but, it says,
00:11:42.10\00:11:44.60
"For it is God
which worketh in you
00:11:44.63\00:11:46.90
both to will and to
do of His good pleasure."
00:11:46.94\00:11:49.57
Amen.
00:11:49.60\00:11:50.94
And I realized that
agriculture was something
00:11:50.97\00:11:53.38
that the God was
encouraging me to do.
00:11:53.41\00:11:55.98
Wonderful.
00:11:56.01\00:11:57.35
So I had to make it quick,
00:11:57.38\00:11:58.71
we went to Black
Hills for six months,
00:11:58.75\00:12:01.58
did an internship,
00:12:01.62\00:12:03.08
Black Hills Health
& Education Center.
00:12:03.12\00:12:05.25
Came back, we
wanted to start a farm
00:12:05.29\00:12:07.09
but we didn't have any money.
00:12:07.12\00:12:09.89
Before we started a farm,
00:12:09.92\00:12:11.73
we put my wife
through nursing school,
00:12:11.76\00:12:14.10
had two small kids, we
had no money to start it.
00:12:14.13\00:12:17.43
We did that for two years,
00:12:17.47\00:12:18.80
and the Lord called
us back to Black Hills,
00:12:18.83\00:12:21.14
we were there for two years,
00:12:21.17\00:12:22.50
and then He
brought us to DayStar
00:12:22.54\00:12:24.44
and that's where we've been.
00:12:24.47\00:12:25.81
Wonderful.
00:12:25.84\00:12:27.18
And you now have four children.
00:12:27.21\00:12:28.54
We now have four children
How old are your children?
00:12:28.58\00:12:30.91
Eight, six, two, and
about seven months old.
00:12:30.95\00:12:35.78
Okay, so let me ask
you though, when did Jesus,
00:12:35.82\00:12:41.86
when did that, you can
grow up in a Christian home
00:12:41.89\00:12:45.56
but God doesn't
have grand children,
00:12:45.59\00:12:47.36
he only has
children, so it doesn't matter
00:12:47.40\00:12:49.36
if your parents'
relationship is close the Lord.
00:12:49.40\00:12:52.50
When did it become real for you?
00:12:52.53\00:12:54.24
Was it when your
friends challenged you,
00:12:54.27\00:12:56.20
when you was that
your epiphany moment
00:12:56.24\00:12:59.67
or when did you develop
00:12:59.71\00:13:01.08
that personal
relationship with Christ?
00:13:01.11\00:13:04.05
I believe I've
had a couple times.
00:13:04.08\00:13:06.78
One was I met my wife,
she moved in next door to me,
00:13:06.82\00:13:10.55
she wasn't an Adventist.
00:13:10.59\00:13:11.92
Okay.
00:13:11.95\00:13:13.29
And we started studying
and she became an Adventist
00:13:13.32\00:13:16.29
couple of years
before we got married.
00:13:16.32\00:13:18.13
So I went through
that journey with her
00:13:18.16\00:13:20.20
and that was a big moment.
00:13:20.23\00:13:22.50
And then the second
biggest was when we had kids.
00:13:22.53\00:13:24.90
Oh, amen.
00:13:24.93\00:13:26.27
And we realize the
responsibility we had.
00:13:26.30\00:13:28.40
Amen.
00:13:28.44\00:13:29.77
So we had to start learning
00:13:29.80\00:13:32.21
what to do with
these small children.
00:13:32.24\00:13:34.94
It is.
00:13:34.98\00:13:36.31
I always say that, you
know, believe it or not,
00:13:36.34\00:13:38.65
I wanted six children.
00:13:38.68\00:13:40.08
Now I see people
who have six little ones
00:13:40.12\00:13:41.98
and I'm thinking,
"Lord, what was I thinking?"
00:13:42.02\00:13:43.99
But I think that
if you are a parent,
00:13:44.02\00:13:47.99
you're a mother,
you're in full time ministry
00:13:48.02\00:13:51.16
and I can't think of
anything more beautiful
00:13:51.19\00:13:53.29
than having a child,
00:13:53.33\00:13:55.33
to be able to
introduce them to the Lord
00:13:55.36\00:13:57.53
and having someone
that you've birthed
00:13:57.57\00:13:59.87
that can
potentially have eternal life.
00:13:59.90\00:14:02.50
That's a precious thing.
00:14:02.54\00:14:04.31
Let's talk about
DayStar Adventist Academy.
00:14:04.34\00:14:08.21
Let's talk about how it began.
Randy, I'll just go to you.
00:14:08.24\00:14:12.08
Well, it started in 1970.
00:14:12.11\00:14:16.22
I'm not sure if there
were more involved than the two
00:14:16.25\00:14:19.12
but I know of two
doctors, they were brothers,
00:14:19.15\00:14:22.69
they live in Utah
00:14:22.72\00:14:24.16
and they had a desire
for Adventist education,
00:14:24.19\00:14:27.13
which there was not
much access to in Utah.
00:14:27.16\00:14:32.30
So they started
looking around for property.
00:14:32.33\00:14:34.37
Somehow they ended
up in Castle Valley
00:14:34.40\00:14:36.91
and they found
this ranch property,
00:14:36.94\00:14:39.01
this farm property
and they purchased it.
00:14:39.04\00:14:41.24
I think they made two purchases
00:14:41.28\00:14:42.74
but basically up to
320 acres they found.
00:14:42.78\00:14:46.98
And if you want to
show the first picture,
00:14:47.02\00:14:48.55
you can see how
beautiful this is.
00:14:48.58\00:14:50.45
This is the beautiful
time of year right now.
00:14:50.49\00:14:52.62
This is from up in the mountains
00:14:52.65\00:14:54.96
looking down at our little oasis
00:14:54.99\00:14:57.36
and the second
picture that we have
00:14:57.39\00:14:59.09
is of our
administration building
00:14:59.13\00:15:00.86
looking up to a
rock we call Periot.
00:15:00.90\00:15:04.33
We frequently climb up
there just to, kind of,
00:15:04.37\00:15:07.74
see things or what
we call, base jumpers,
00:15:07.77\00:15:10.11
they jump off of
there with parachutes,
00:15:10.14\00:15:11.94
which is kind of
fun to watch sometimes.
00:15:11.97\00:15:14.78
Anyway, so these
doctors developed this school
00:15:14.81\00:15:17.18
and it has
evolved over the years
00:15:17.21\00:15:18.81
to become what it is today.
00:15:18.85\00:15:20.62
You know, it's a funny story
00:15:20.65\00:15:22.72
when I lived in
my little hometown
00:15:22.75\00:15:24.19
of Atascadero, California,
00:15:24.22\00:15:25.62
we had neighbors
00:15:25.65\00:15:28.26
and we met this one
gentlemen name Bruce Smith.
00:15:28.29\00:15:31.06
Just nice young man,
you know, and life goes on.
00:15:31.09\00:15:33.76
Then we moved to
Northern California
00:15:33.80\00:15:35.93
and we meet another gentleman,
his name is Dr. Brad Smith.
00:15:35.96\00:15:39.37
And as we were talking to him
00:15:39.40\00:15:40.74
explaining where
we lived he goes,
00:15:40.77\00:15:42.10
"Oh, that was my brother Bruce."
00:15:42.14\00:15:44.01
And so we
continued to gain friendship
00:15:44.04\00:15:46.81
and then after time goes on
00:15:46.84\00:15:48.38
when we were getting
ready to come to DayStar,
00:15:48.41\00:15:50.75
he said, "Oh, my
dad and his brother
00:15:50.78\00:15:53.42
were the two
that founded DayStar."
00:15:53.45\00:15:55.48
So, it's a small
world that we traveled in.
00:15:55.52\00:15:57.79
Amen. That is interesting.
00:15:57.82\00:16:00.12
So you've been
there for three years?
00:16:00.16\00:16:03.49
Associated for four
00:16:03.53\00:16:04.86
because my two
older kids went there
00:16:04.89\00:16:07.03
the year before I
came to work there, so--
00:16:07.06\00:16:10.33
Now Utah, obviously
00:16:10.37\00:16:12.33
is the Mormon capital
of the world, I think.
00:16:12.37\00:16:14.87
So are there many Adventists?
00:16:14.90\00:16:16.87
Why did they
choose, they lived in Utah.
00:16:16.91\00:16:20.11
Why did these two
doctors choose this area?
00:16:20.14\00:16:22.48
I can't really
answer that for sure,
00:16:22.51\00:16:25.11
but as I live there, I
realize how beautiful it is,
00:16:25.15\00:16:27.92
how remote it is, and
you know, people come.
00:16:27.95\00:16:30.92
We just had a group
come from Salt Lake City
00:16:30.95\00:16:32.95
to stay there for the weekend.
00:16:32.99\00:16:35.12
They got to see the stars
00:16:35.16\00:16:36.52
that they
normally don't get to see
00:16:36.56\00:16:38.03
while they're in Salt Lake.
00:16:38.06\00:16:40.00
We have a couple of ponds
that the kids can swim in,
00:16:40.03\00:16:42.43
they can enjoy
the peace and quiet,
00:16:42.46\00:16:44.07
there's mountains close by.
00:16:44.10\00:16:45.70
It is just a
good all around place,
00:16:45.73\00:16:47.94
we have fertile
land, we have free water,
00:16:47.97\00:16:50.61
we have water that is
diverted from a creek that comes
00:16:50.64\00:16:53.14
and waters all our
irrigation for the crops.
00:16:53.17\00:16:55.81
That's a blessing.
00:16:55.84\00:16:57.18
Yes, you know,
00:16:57.21\00:16:58.55
and it is just a point
where the children can just--
00:16:58.58\00:17:01.75
You know, when we
first moved there,
00:17:01.78\00:17:03.12
our little child who was,
00:17:03.15\00:17:05.19
Kyler five at
that point in time,
00:17:05.22\00:17:07.12
we could just let him
go and not worry about him,
00:17:07.16\00:17:09.16
'cause it was safe
for him to be there,
00:17:09.19\00:17:10.73
so that could very
well be why they choose.
00:17:10.76\00:17:13.03
That's just the
perfect place I think.
00:17:13.06\00:17:15.16
Wonderful.
00:17:15.20\00:17:16.53
So let's talk abut
the curriculum there.
00:17:16.56\00:17:19.80
I mean, we know that if
we send our children off.
00:17:19.83\00:17:22.80
I believe wholeheartedly
in Christian education.
00:17:22.84\00:17:25.61
I think that's, it
seems that here at 3ABN,
00:17:25.64\00:17:31.41
we have so many
wonderful young people
00:17:31.45\00:17:34.15
who grew up in the
Adventist school systems
00:17:34.18\00:17:36.79
and they're just on fire for God
00:17:36.82\00:17:39.62
and you see how important
Christian education is.
00:17:39.65\00:17:43.43
But you wanted to talk about
this concept of true education.
00:17:43.46\00:17:50.30
And I think, Randy,
you had a little quote
00:17:50.33\00:17:52.67
that you wanted to
read about true education
00:17:52.70\00:17:55.17
and then we'll
turn it over to Matt
00:17:55.20\00:17:57.21
to kind of talk about this.
00:17:57.24\00:17:58.91
Well, I'm learning
about true education.
00:17:58.94\00:18:02.31
I believe in it but I've
never really studied it out.
00:18:02.34\00:18:05.78
And starting last year,
00:18:05.81\00:18:07.15
we would meet every
Wednesday for prayer meeting
00:18:07.18\00:18:09.18
down at Matt's house
under a beautiful tree
00:18:09.22\00:18:11.45
and we would all
study about true education.
00:18:11.49\00:18:13.62
What does it
mean, true education,
00:18:13.66\00:18:15.66
and what is mean to put it
practically into a curriculum,
00:18:15.69\00:18:20.40
so to speak.
00:18:20.43\00:18:21.76
And as I've
studied and read a quote
00:18:21.80\00:18:24.17
from "A Call to
Stand Apart," page 65
00:18:24.20\00:18:27.24
and it says, "True education
embraces physical, mental,
00:18:27.27\00:18:31.44
and moral training,
00:18:31.47\00:18:33.24
in order that all the
powers shall be fitted
00:18:33.27\00:18:36.34
for the best development
to do service for God
00:18:36.38\00:18:39.85
and to work for the
uplifting of humanity."
00:18:39.88\00:18:42.38
Amen.
00:18:42.42\00:18:43.75
And that is what we would like
00:18:43.79\00:18:45.32
in our education process
at DayStar for our children.
00:18:45.35\00:18:48.92
You know, they do require
a curriculum of, you know,
00:18:48.96\00:18:52.76
the educational,
the academics portion.
00:18:52.79\00:18:54.93
But there's more to it.
00:18:54.96\00:18:56.30
We talked
earlier, there's a balance.
00:18:56.33\00:18:57.67
You know, there
is the academics,
00:18:57.70\00:18:59.43
and then there's
also learning to work,
00:18:59.47\00:19:01.24
learning to
work with your hands,
00:19:01.27\00:19:02.94
learning to take
that process from planting
00:19:02.97\00:19:05.44
to taking it to
farmers' market and selling it.
00:19:05.47\00:19:08.71
And that's, you know,
00:19:08.74\00:19:10.08
Matt has done a
lot of research on that
00:19:10.11\00:19:11.45
and we've been
blessed by his ministry
00:19:11.48\00:19:13.45
of helping us go
through that process and learn.
00:19:13.48\00:19:16.99
Well, you know, academics
is important obviously.
00:19:17.02\00:19:20.59
To survive in the world,
but I think that, as parents,
00:19:20.62\00:19:24.89
the one thing
that is so important
00:19:24.93\00:19:27.03
to instill in children
00:19:27.06\00:19:28.96
is that you teach them
to have a good work ethic
00:19:29.00\00:19:31.97
because sometimes
you will see a child,
00:19:32.00\00:19:34.77
or a young person,
or even an older person
00:19:34.80\00:19:37.51
who can be quite
brilliant in book learning,
00:19:37.54\00:19:40.58
they've
accomplished many degrees,
00:19:40.61\00:19:42.41
but if they don't
have a good work ethic,
00:19:42.44\00:19:45.58
nothing ever comes of it.
00:19:45.61\00:19:46.98
So there is that
academic, the physical,
00:19:47.02\00:19:51.02
teaching them to
have a good work ethic
00:19:51.05\00:19:53.76
and then of course the moral,
00:19:53.79\00:19:55.59
teaching them solid
biblical foundations.
00:19:55.62\00:19:58.63
So, Matt, we're
gonna turn you loose.
00:19:58.66\00:20:01.46
All right, so we've
been studying as a group
00:20:01.50\00:20:06.30
going through and
trying to determine
00:20:06.33\00:20:09.07
what the Lord's
plan is for our school.
00:20:09.10\00:20:11.81
You know, we can have a group
and ask what true education is?
00:20:11.84\00:20:15.54
And we could get everybody
with a different answer.
00:20:15.58\00:20:20.45
So this is from
"Counsels on Health"
00:20:20.48\00:20:24.15
and it says,
00:20:24.19\00:20:28.59
"If conducted in a
manner the God could approve,
00:20:28.62\00:20:31.69
it would be highly successful
and would stand in advance
00:20:31.73\00:20:35.03
of all other institutions
of the kind in the world."
00:20:35.06\00:20:38.80
And this is
talking about sanatorium.
00:20:38.83\00:20:40.17
Sanatorium that I
believe it applies here.
00:20:40.20\00:20:44.11
"Great light, great knowledge
00:20:44.14\00:20:46.17
and superior
privileges were given."
00:20:46.21\00:20:48.91
So we have great light,
00:20:48.94\00:20:50.78
we've been given
vast amounts of knowledge,
00:20:50.81\00:20:53.28
and many privileges.
00:20:53.31\00:20:55.52
"And in accordance
with the light received
00:20:55.55\00:20:58.05
would be the responsibility
00:20:58.09\00:20:59.62
of those to whom
the carrying forward
00:20:59.65\00:21:02.46
of the
institution was entrusted."
00:21:02.49\00:21:05.29
So we feel that, as leaders,
00:21:05.33\00:21:08.13
it's our
responsibility to dig and dig
00:21:08.16\00:21:11.30
and to see what the
Lord has called us to do.
00:21:11.33\00:21:14.60
So what age group,
00:21:14.64\00:21:17.01
when we're talking
about an Adventist Academy,
00:21:17.04\00:21:19.87
DayStar Adventist Academy.
00:21:19.91\00:21:21.24
What age group is coming
there as boarding students?
00:21:21.28\00:21:27.08
It would be high school,
freshmen through seniors.
00:21:27.12\00:21:29.28
Okay.
00:21:29.32\00:21:30.65
We are cautious about freshmen,
00:21:30.69\00:21:32.32
only because generally
the maturity of the student
00:21:32.35\00:21:35.16
is not able to be
away from home and handle,
00:21:35.19\00:21:37.86
you know, some of the things.
00:21:37.89\00:21:39.23
So we try to be very
fair but also really dig
00:21:39.26\00:21:43.67
into the acceptance of students,
00:21:43.70\00:21:47.10
but basically, it's
high school students.
00:21:47.14\00:21:48.64
Okay. Yes. And this
is a smaller school.
00:21:48.67\00:21:51.37
About what--
00:21:51.41\00:21:52.74
Fifteen to twenty-five students,
00:21:52.77\00:21:54.18
generally, depending--
00:21:54.21\00:21:56.11
And how many
teachers do you have?
00:21:56.14\00:21:57.98
I mean, how many people
are involved in teaching them?
00:21:58.01\00:22:00.42
We have three to
four teachers this year.
00:22:00.45\00:22:02.75
Wonderful. But
everyone's a teacher.
00:22:02.78\00:22:05.39
Right!
00:22:05.42\00:22:06.76
I'm a teacher, Randy's a
teacher in their area, so--
00:22:06.79\00:22:10.66
Okay, so in
your own words, Matt,
00:22:10.69\00:22:12.36
what do you think
true education is?
00:22:12.39\00:22:14.86
I think it's a lot
like character development.
00:22:14.90\00:22:16.77
Okay.
00:22:16.80\00:22:18.13
I don't wake up
and fully understand
00:22:18.17\00:22:20.60
true education.
00:22:20.64\00:22:22.47
You know, the true education,
it's a lifetime process
00:22:22.50\00:22:29.38
of following what the
Lord has told you to do.
00:22:29.41\00:22:31.11
Right.
00:22:31.15\00:22:32.48
So, you know, one of the
things that we learned this year
00:22:32.51\00:22:35.65
that we've been
relearning as that
00:22:35.68\00:22:37.82
we're told that teachers
should work with their students,
00:22:37.85\00:22:40.86
so we started a program--
00:22:40.89\00:22:42.49
When you say work, in what way?
00:22:42.52\00:22:44.56
In manual labor. All right.
00:22:44.59\00:22:46.26
Side by side, in the
dirt, in the kitchen,
00:22:46.29\00:22:49.43
wherever the need is.
00:22:49.46\00:22:51.93
So we started a program
this year that made it happen.
00:22:51.97\00:22:56.84
So every day, teachers,
staff would work with students.
00:22:56.87\00:23:00.51
Wonderful.
00:23:00.54\00:23:01.88
So we had a beehive activity
00:23:01.91\00:23:04.98
where, you know,
forty people would be out
00:23:05.01\00:23:07.45
and about the
whole campus working.
00:23:07.48\00:23:09.68
Wonderful.
00:23:09.72\00:23:11.05
And--
00:23:11.09\00:23:12.42
I think of 2 Corinthians 3:18,
00:23:12.45\00:23:13.99
that, you know, we
become what we behold.
00:23:14.02\00:23:17.13
You can tell a child something,
00:23:17.16\00:23:18.66
but when you're actually
out and implementing it,
00:23:18.69\00:23:21.60
doing it yourself,
it's much more motivational.
00:23:21.63\00:23:25.53
And you know, sometimes,
the students don't understand
00:23:25.57\00:23:28.17
how busy everybody is.
00:23:28.20\00:23:29.84
They just see
their little world.
00:23:29.87\00:23:31.64
And so it becomes us-and-them
type of mentality, you know,
00:23:31.67\00:23:35.01
"Oh, we're out here working.
00:23:35.04\00:23:36.38
How come they
never have to work?"
00:23:36.41\00:23:37.75
And they don't see what
we're doing all day long.
00:23:37.78\00:23:39.78
And this program,
00:23:39.81\00:23:41.92
it actually required
all staff to participate.
00:23:41.95\00:23:45.15
And it's been a real
blessing because we have,
00:23:45.19\00:23:47.49
number one, come
together as staff and students,
00:23:47.52\00:23:49.62
they realize it,
00:23:49.66\00:23:50.99
you know, we're willing
to work along with them.
00:23:51.03\00:23:52.83
We get more done because
everybody works together.
00:23:52.86\00:23:55.40
You know, the Bible says,
many hands make the work light.
00:23:55.43\00:23:58.37
And it's just
been a real blessing
00:23:58.40\00:24:01.77
to see the change in attitude
00:24:01.80\00:24:03.34
that the students are more
accepting of some of the staff
00:24:03.37\00:24:06.27
that they kind of maybe
didn't understand at first
00:24:06.31\00:24:08.51
because we're all
there working together,
00:24:08.54\00:24:10.51
and we're learning together.
00:24:10.55\00:24:11.88
Sometimes the
students actually teach us.
00:24:11.91\00:24:13.62
I mean, the
students are the ones
00:24:13.65\00:24:15.08
that have been
working on the farm
00:24:15.12\00:24:16.75
and so we as
staff come down to help.
00:24:16.79\00:24:18.62
I don't work in
the greenhouse a lot,
00:24:18.65\00:24:20.46
so I need to know what to do.
00:24:20.49\00:24:21.82
Now they teach me.
00:24:21.86\00:24:23.19
I think we have a picture
of your greenhouse, don't we?
00:24:23.22\00:24:25.43
Yes. That would
be the third one.
00:24:25.46\00:24:26.96
This is our current greenhouse.
00:24:27.00\00:24:28.96
And what is the
size of this greenhouse?
00:24:29.00\00:24:31.30
It's quite--
00:24:31.33\00:24:32.67
This is about
20,000 square feet.
00:24:32.70\00:24:34.47
That's almost half
an acre. Wonderful.
00:24:34.50\00:24:36.81
And what do you do
00:24:36.84\00:24:38.34
with the produce
that you produce?
00:24:38.37\00:24:40.84
We sell locally, we
sell to restaurants, coops,
00:24:40.88\00:24:44.91
farmers' market, we
do sell to whole foods
00:24:44.95\00:24:48.78
from Salt Lake
from time to time.
00:24:48.82\00:24:51.45
And I imagine you eat a good
portion of it yourself, right?
00:24:51.49\00:24:54.16
Right, we use
it. Yeah. Fresh fair.
00:24:54.19\00:24:56.16
In the cafeteria, so
the goal is to get kids
00:24:56.19\00:25:00.03
from the beginning of
the process to the end.
00:25:00.06\00:25:02.96
So they grow it,
they cook it, they eat it,
00:25:03.00\00:25:06.17
the full spectrum.
00:25:06.20\00:25:07.54
And they learn to
market it as well.
00:25:07.57\00:25:08.90
That's right.
00:25:08.94\00:25:10.27
But now I know that you
have a very special project.
00:25:10.31\00:25:14.74
Let's just jump into that
00:25:14.78\00:25:16.21
because you've got a
half acre sized greenhouse,
00:25:16.24\00:25:20.18
which sounds good sized to me.
00:25:20.22\00:25:22.05
But what are you looking
at that's down in Kentucky?
00:25:22.08\00:25:25.72
Well, we're in the
process of acquiring
00:25:25.75\00:25:30.36
and bringing 72,000 square
feet greenhouse back to Utah.
00:25:30.39\00:25:34.20
Mercy.
00:25:34.23\00:25:36.26
Do we have a
picture of that on--
00:25:36.30\00:25:37.70
We do. Good.
00:25:37.73\00:25:39.07
That is
incredible! 72,000 square feet!
00:25:39.10\00:25:43.74
Yeah. What is that acreage wise?
00:25:43.77\00:25:46.84
About one-three, well
over one-three quarter.
00:25:46.88\00:25:48.94
So nearly a two acre greenhouse.
00:25:48.98\00:25:51.88
Yes.
00:25:51.91\00:25:53.25
You can barely see
it, but in the picture,
00:25:53.28\00:25:54.62
there is a full sized, 15
passenger Ford Econline van
00:25:54.65\00:25:57.89
with a trailer parked
outside just to, kind of,
00:25:57.92\00:26:00.66
give you a perspective
of how huge this thing is.
00:26:00.69\00:26:03.19
Now that's huge. Yeah.
00:26:03.22\00:26:04.73
The first time I went down,
00:26:04.76\00:26:06.09
I was on the first run with Matt
00:26:06.13\00:26:07.73
and I walked in there
and I just, I was amazed.
00:26:07.76\00:26:10.70
It was just
like, "This is huge."
00:26:10.73\00:26:14.27
But you know, it was really
kind of disappointing to me
00:26:14.30\00:26:16.71
because there was a lot
of trash and stuff in there.
00:26:16.74\00:26:19.07
And we all ganged up
and we cleaned that place up
00:26:19.11\00:26:21.44
the first half of
the very first day.
00:26:21.48\00:26:22.91
And after that was
done, it was just amazing,
00:26:22.94\00:26:24.95
the
transformation that took place.
00:26:24.98\00:26:26.38
It was like, I
was extremely excited.
00:26:26.41\00:26:29.02
Okay, so you've got this big
72, 000 square foot greenhouse.
00:26:29.05\00:26:35.69
And the idea is to
bring this back from Kentucky,
00:26:35.72\00:26:39.66
you need to
transport that to Utah.
00:26:39.69\00:26:46.37
Where are you in
this process right now?
00:26:46.40\00:26:49.00
Has that been disassembled or--
00:26:49.04\00:26:51.57
Can I give a quick history?
00:26:51.61\00:26:52.94
Sure. Okay.
00:26:52.97\00:26:54.98
We went out. I found
this on Thanksgiving.
00:26:55.01\00:26:59.25
And we looked at it
and said it's too big
00:26:59.28\00:27:01.12
and it popped
back up in the spring
00:27:01.15\00:27:04.15
and we decided to
go and look at it.
00:27:04.19\00:27:07.16
And we all thought
that it was a great deal.
00:27:07.19\00:27:12.26
Price wise.
00:27:12.29\00:27:13.63
Price wise,
00:27:13.66\00:27:15.00
and that it would
benefit the school.
00:27:15.03\00:27:16.73
So we went out and we had
an arrangement with a guy.
00:27:16.77\00:27:20.84
We said, I called him
and asked him, you know,
00:27:20.87\00:27:23.00
would you hold it if
I came up with $10,000?
00:27:23.04\00:27:25.87
And he said, "Sure."
00:27:25.91\00:27:27.24
And I said, "Okay,
well, I don't have $10,000,
00:27:27.28\00:27:28.74
but I'll see what we can do."
00:27:28.78\00:27:30.51
And so we called him back
00:27:30.55\00:27:32.75
and said, "Okay,
we got the money.
00:27:32.78\00:27:34.48
I'm gonna come
out and look at it."
00:27:34.52\00:27:36.32
I came out and looked at
it, everything looked great.
00:27:36.35\00:27:39.45
Rode my truck, got into the car,
00:27:39.49\00:27:41.79
and about half an hour later,
00:27:41.82\00:27:43.43
I got a call saying that
the $10,000 fell through.
00:27:43.46\00:27:47.76
And at that point, I had peace.
00:27:47.80\00:27:50.90
I knew that the Lord was working
00:27:50.93\00:27:53.40
and that the devil was working.
00:27:53.44\00:27:54.77
Yes.
00:27:54.80\00:27:56.14
And that same day,
00:27:56.17\00:27:57.51
another farmer
came out to look at it
00:27:57.54\00:27:58.87
and he said
that out of the blue.
00:27:58.91\00:28:00.24
You know if you need the money
00:28:00.28\00:28:01.94
to keep the project rolling
let me know, didn't ask him.
00:28:01.98\00:28:05.51
So a farmer, not that's
bidding against you on this.
00:28:05.55\00:28:10.05
This is a farmer who--
00:28:10.09\00:28:11.42
Friend. Friend, Okay.
00:28:11.45\00:28:12.79
Who lives in
the area. All right.
00:28:12.82\00:28:14.39
And so I called him the
next morning and he said,
00:28:14.42\00:28:17.39
you know, "What you
said, was that true?"
00:28:17.43\00:28:20.03
and he said, "Let
me talk to my wife."
00:28:20.06\00:28:21.40
He called back and said,
00:28:21.43\00:28:22.76
"We're gonna put in $36,000,"
which was the purchase price.
00:28:22.80\00:28:25.53
Wow.
00:28:25.57\00:28:26.90
So you guys can
start tearing it down.
00:28:26.94\00:28:30.41
I said, "Great.
00:28:30.44\00:28:32.41
I don't know how we're
gonna start tearing it down.
00:28:32.44\00:28:34.34
I guess the same
way you eat an elephant,
00:28:34.38\00:28:36.14
one bite at a time.
00:28:36.18\00:28:37.88
We had spring break coming
up in a week and I came back
00:28:37.91\00:28:41.02
and talked to Randy and he said,
00:28:41.05\00:28:42.38
"Hey, do you
want to go to Kentucky
00:28:42.42\00:28:44.32
start tearing
down this greenhouse."
00:28:44.35\00:28:46.79
And he said,
"Sure." No, I didn't.
00:28:46.82\00:28:49.59
I said, "No, I
don't really want to."
00:28:49.62\00:28:52.29
I'll be honest but I
said, "You know what Matt?
00:28:52.33\00:28:54.30
I will go." and I'm
so happy I didn't go.
00:28:54.33\00:28:56.40
Yeah.
00:28:56.43\00:28:57.77
So we got a group of about ten,
00:28:57.80\00:29:00.04
went out there for a week
00:29:00.07\00:29:01.40
and worked sun up till sun down.
00:29:01.44\00:29:03.17
I'll bet you did.
And then some, yes.
00:29:03.20\00:29:04.77
And then some
nights till 10:30 at night,
00:29:04.81\00:29:09.54
we had snow,
lightning, miserable weather,
00:29:09.58\00:29:12.91
but it was a blessing.
00:29:12.95\00:29:15.38
We came back,
we still don't know
00:29:15.42\00:29:17.19
how we're gonna get it torn down
00:29:17.22\00:29:18.99
other than the
school had a mission trip
00:29:19.02\00:29:20.72
planned in the spring in April
00:29:20.76\00:29:23.56
that they cancelled at
Christmas for some reason.
00:29:23.59\00:29:27.40
So we had two weeks available.
00:29:27.43\00:29:29.23
And I said, "Well,
let's just take the school."
00:29:29.26\00:29:31.87
So we got half the students,
00:29:31.90\00:29:34.37
we took them out
there and some staff,
00:29:34.40\00:29:35.80
and we had about 20 people
00:29:35.84\00:29:38.11
and we worked for two
weeks tearing it down.
00:29:38.14\00:29:42.48
Now your school's not all boys.
00:29:42.51\00:29:45.81
It's boys and
girls. No. Boys and girls.
00:29:45.85\00:29:47.48
And actually did you say,
I thinking in the green room
00:29:47.52\00:29:49.58
you told me the girls
usually outnumber the boys.
00:29:49.62\00:29:52.19
Generally speaking,
this year was an oddity
00:29:52.22\00:29:54.19
because we had 12 boys.
00:29:54.22\00:29:56.16
But normally it's 12 to 15 girls
00:29:56.19\00:29:58.76
and the rest are boys.
00:29:58.79\00:30:00.13
Okay.
00:30:00.16\00:30:01.60
So that looks like
00:30:01.63\00:30:04.60
that was major
project to get this torn down.
00:30:04.63\00:30:07.27
Yeah. It's a major project.
00:30:07.30\00:30:09.54
Nobody thought we could do it
00:30:09.57\00:30:11.01
and there was many
days that I had doubts.
00:30:11.04\00:30:13.58
But at the end of two
weeks, it's all on the ground,
00:30:13.61\00:30:16.64
most of it's bundled
up, ready for shipping.
00:30:16.68\00:30:19.98
Right, so now how will
you ship this back to Utah?
00:30:20.02\00:30:24.42
By truck? Okay. By truck. Yeah.
00:30:24.45\00:30:26.45
It's gonna be
four to five semis.
00:30:26.49\00:30:29.82
So that's quite
an expensive process.
00:30:29.86\00:30:32.56
It is.
00:30:32.59\00:30:33.93
All right, do you
have the funds for that?
00:30:33.96\00:30:35.70
We do not have all the funds.
00:30:35.73\00:30:38.23
The greenhouse was 36,000
and it's about 20,000 to ship.
00:30:38.27\00:30:42.74
Twenty
thousand. Twenty thousand.
00:30:42.77\00:30:45.11
So currently we have
30,000, so we're 20,000 short.
00:30:45.14\00:30:51.15
Well, now if my math is right,
00:30:51.18\00:30:52.51
that's actually
twenty-six thousand short,
00:30:52.55\00:30:54.58
'cause you've paid the
36,000 to the owner of this,
00:30:54.62\00:30:59.89
previous owner
of the greenhouse,
00:30:59.92\00:31:01.42
the greenhouse is paid for,
00:31:01.46\00:31:03.19
but that was the 36,
000 was loaned to you.
00:31:03.22\00:31:05.83
So you've raised 30,000
00:31:05.86\00:31:07.70
you still have
another 6,000 to pay him back
00:31:07.73\00:31:10.43
and then you need
20,000 for the shipping.
00:31:10.47\00:31:13.47
Is that correct? That's right.
00:31:13.50\00:31:14.84
So, you need $26,000
00:31:14.87\00:31:16.54
or what you could also maybe
do is we can make an appeal.
00:31:16.57\00:31:21.14
You have kind of a soft deadline
00:31:21.18\00:31:23.31
that the owner wants the
greenhouse off the property
00:31:23.35\00:31:26.35
by June the 30th?
00:31:26.38\00:31:28.88
Maybe you could
sneak a few more days,
00:31:28.92\00:31:31.02
there maybe
someone who is watching
00:31:31.05\00:31:33.32
or listening by radio
and maybe you're a trucker
00:31:33.36\00:31:36.62
or you know a trucker
00:31:36.66\00:31:37.99
who might be dead
heading from the East Coast
00:31:38.03\00:31:40.96
and going back
West that could whiz by
00:31:41.00\00:31:44.03
and pick up your
greenhouse in Kentucky
00:31:44.07\00:31:47.10
and take it to Utah.
00:31:47.14\00:31:49.40
Actually, you need
three trucks, don't you?
00:31:49.44\00:31:51.57
Four. Four trucks, okay.
00:31:51.61\00:31:53.58
Well, maybe we can
get several truckers
00:31:53.61\00:31:55.38
or somebody that could
help send in some funds
00:31:55.41\00:31:58.25
to help pay for this.
00:31:58.28\00:32:00.48
You know, when we were doing
00:32:00.52\00:32:01.85
the Ten
Commandments Twice Removed
00:32:01.88\00:32:03.49
and we needed to
truck huge amounts of books
00:32:03.52\00:32:07.29
to various places,
00:32:07.32\00:32:08.66
we did have
wonderful blessed people
00:32:08.69\00:32:12.36
who would come and
volunteer their trucks.
00:32:12.39\00:32:15.46
It was just so amazing and
they transported it for us.
00:32:15.50\00:32:19.63
Let me ask you this
because I know you're tired,
00:32:19.67\00:32:22.64
you've had a long week,
but why is this important?
00:32:22.67\00:32:26.44
Why did you want to get
this nearly two acre greenhouse?
00:32:26.47\00:32:31.71
What impact will
that have on the school?
00:32:31.75\00:32:33.95
What impact does it
have on the students?
00:32:33.98\00:32:36.82
Well, financially, it
has an impact on the school
00:32:36.85\00:32:40.09
because we can grow
food all year round.
00:32:40.12\00:32:42.79
We have markets that want food.
00:32:42.82\00:32:45.23
We have people that
are begging for food,
00:32:45.26\00:32:47.60
we have food
that we eat ourselves.
00:32:47.63\00:32:51.40
So we would like the opportunity
00:32:51.43\00:32:54.17
to train students how
to grow food year round,
00:32:54.20\00:33:00.14
to get them a
better growing environment,
00:33:00.18\00:33:02.54
it's very cold,
dark in the winter.
00:33:02.58\00:33:05.85
And you know we have grown,
00:33:05.88\00:33:08.02
we shown in our
greenhouse this year
00:33:08.05\00:33:09.38
that we can grow
salad, and kale, and carrots,
00:33:09.42\00:33:13.15
and beets, and all
these other things.
00:33:13.19\00:33:15.76
So we'd like a
better opportunity
00:33:15.79\00:33:18.43
to educate the
youth on a year on basis.
00:33:18.46\00:33:22.73
And how does that affect--
00:33:22.76\00:33:24.47
I mean, for myself, I know
00:33:24.50\00:33:27.00
that I wasn't brought
up gardening and things,
00:33:27.04\00:33:30.14
but when I first
started working in a garden,
00:33:30.17\00:33:32.37
there's something that's
just very satisfying about that.
00:33:32.41\00:33:37.08
How do your students react?
It's a transforming operation.
00:33:37.11\00:33:40.62
You put the little
plant in the ground,
00:33:40.65\00:33:42.25
then you see it
come up, it thrives.
00:33:42.28\00:33:44.29
You see the
students go down there
00:33:44.32\00:33:45.72
if they haven't
been used to working
00:33:45.75\00:33:47.19
or may be they "hate the farm,"
00:33:47.22\00:33:50.46
when they get into this process,
00:33:50.49\00:33:51.83
when they put their feet
or their hands in the dirt
00:33:51.86\00:33:54.43
to watch these things grow
00:33:54.46\00:33:55.80
and they watch it grow
from the tiny little seedling
00:33:55.83\00:33:57.87
up to including
bearing fruit and harvesting.
00:33:57.90\00:34:01.00
It makes a big
difference in their lives.
00:34:01.04\00:34:02.54
They have completed something.
00:34:02.57\00:34:04.81
I mean, they feel like, "Wow,
God let me be part of this."
00:34:04.84\00:34:08.24
You know, and it
does change them.
00:34:08.28\00:34:10.31
There have been several students
00:34:10.35\00:34:11.68
that absolutely hated
going down to the farm,
00:34:11.71\00:34:14.68
but when they work with
Matt, and Shawn, and others,
00:34:14.72\00:34:16.72
and watch these plants grow,
00:34:16.75\00:34:18.42
they are absolutely
transformed themselves
00:34:18.45\00:34:20.96
because now it's like,
00:34:20.99\00:34:22.56
I had to ask some kids
to go work for the cafe
00:34:22.59\00:34:25.46
and I took the
farm group and I said,
00:34:25.49\00:34:26.83
I need, you know,
couple of volunteers.
00:34:26.86\00:34:28.70
Nobody wanted to volunteer,
00:34:28.73\00:34:30.07
'cause they all
loved being on the farm.
00:34:30.10\00:34:32.37
So it really makes a difference.
00:34:32.40\00:34:34.47
It gives them some sort
of completion or fulfillment
00:34:34.50\00:34:37.01
that they watched this process
00:34:37.04\00:34:38.41
and they've been
part of the process.
00:34:38.44\00:34:39.87
Yeah. Oh yeah. What
great teaching moments.
00:34:39.91\00:34:42.08
Because now you can talk about
the Word of God is like seed
00:34:42.11\00:34:45.71
and how it just
blossoms and grows overnight
00:34:45.75\00:34:49.05
without anyone knowing it.
00:34:49.08\00:34:50.42
There's some
great moral lessons,
00:34:50.45\00:34:52.92
great biblical lessons
that can be all tied into that.
00:34:52.95\00:34:56.22
And you know it's something
00:34:56.26\00:34:58.39
that they can
pick up themselves.
00:34:58.43\00:35:00.30
They don't have to
be told the lessons
00:35:00.33\00:35:02.00
as they're
working with these plants,
00:35:02.03\00:35:03.37
as they're going
through this process,
00:35:03.40\00:35:05.00
the Word of God
speaks to their heart
00:35:05.03\00:35:06.87
and they can
make that comparison,
00:35:06.90\00:35:08.24
they can say, "Oh, I know
now, it makes sense to me."
00:35:08.27\00:35:11.61
You know. Yes, amen.
00:35:11.64\00:35:13.94
And I think one of
our biggest goals there
00:35:13.98\00:35:16.38
is to, you know,
teach the Word of God,
00:35:16.41\00:35:22.38
not teach about the Word of God.
00:35:22.42\00:35:23.95
Amen.
00:35:23.99\00:35:25.32
Teach God's creative power,
00:35:25.35\00:35:28.79
not teach about
His creative power.
00:35:28.82\00:35:31.49
So these are the opportunities
that our students have
00:35:31.53\00:35:34.03
that are unique and different,
00:35:34.06\00:35:36.36
that we can
take them to the soil
00:35:36.40\00:35:38.97
and get their hands in the soil
00:35:39.00\00:35:40.94
instead of
showing pictures of soil.
00:35:40.97\00:35:44.27
Well, that's kind
of life transforming
00:35:44.31\00:35:46.07
for you, wasn't it?
00:35:46.11\00:35:47.44
It was.
00:35:47.48\00:35:48.81
You had no interesting farming
and the Lord brought you around
00:35:48.84\00:35:52.31
and made it something
00:35:52.35\00:35:54.35
that's had a strong
impact on your life, obviously.
00:35:54.38\00:35:58.75
It has.
00:35:58.79\00:36:00.26
Okay, so tell us a little
bit more than this project,
00:36:00.29\00:36:03.26
we just want if the Holy
Spirit is impressing you,
00:36:03.29\00:36:06.23
we just pray that you will help.
00:36:06.26\00:36:08.33
They do need $26,000 more
00:36:08.36\00:36:10.60
or some truckers
that would come in
00:36:10.63\00:36:12.93
and help just
transport this for them
00:36:12.97\00:36:17.21
from Kentucky to
Castle Valley, Utah.
00:36:17.24\00:36:20.68
I imagine, you'd
feed them really well
00:36:20.71\00:36:22.21
when they got there.
00:36:22.24\00:36:23.58
Yeah. That we would.
00:36:23.61\00:36:25.61
Tell us a little bit more about
future plans for the school.
00:36:25.65\00:36:30.55
Well, we would eventually
like to be able to hold in house
00:36:30.59\00:36:36.02
about 50 students total.
00:36:36.06\00:36:38.63
And as we grow
with this greenhouse,
00:36:38.66\00:36:41.70
it might allow us
the funding to, you know,
00:36:41.73\00:36:44.43
help and make that process.
00:36:44.47\00:36:46.84
We want to beautify our
campus, you know, even more,
00:36:46.87\00:36:49.44
make it prettier than it
is, which is kind of hard but--
00:36:49.47\00:36:53.54
I think God has
done that for you.
00:36:53.58\00:36:54.91
Yeah, and you
know with our desire
00:36:54.94\00:36:57.98
to really
incorporate true education,
00:36:58.01\00:37:00.48
we want the Bible
00:37:00.52\00:37:01.85
to be the foundation
of every single classroom,
00:37:01.88\00:37:04.79
English, math,
science, you know, chemistry,
00:37:04.82\00:37:08.52
farming, welding,
whatever, you know.
00:37:08.56\00:37:10.96
We want that, the
Bible and the Bible alone
00:37:10.99\00:37:13.36
to be the
foundation of everything.
00:37:13.40\00:37:15.23
And so those are
our goals, you know,
00:37:15.26\00:37:17.03
we're always
looking to gain knowledge
00:37:17.07\00:37:20.60
to be able to teach
the kids that process.
00:37:20.64\00:37:23.27
We had a Bible
teacher this year,
00:37:23.30\00:37:25.71
our brother,
Brocky was just amazing.
00:37:25.74\00:37:27.44
The kids still thrived from him
and all he did was just teach
00:37:27.48\00:37:30.91
from the
foundation of the Word of God.
00:37:30.95\00:37:32.91
But they had to
dig, they had to learn,
00:37:32.95\00:37:35.18
and they had to
look for the answers,
00:37:35.22\00:37:37.09
and it really impacted them.
00:37:37.12\00:37:38.95
The graduation
this year was, they say,
00:37:38.99\00:37:41.69
more spiritual than it
has been for a long time.
00:37:41.72\00:37:44.16
Randy, you've been there,
00:37:44.19\00:37:46.90
you were there for
three years as the boys' dean,
00:37:46.93\00:37:50.07
do you find that
some kids come there
00:37:50.10\00:37:52.73
maybe because
their parents don't know
00:37:52.77\00:37:55.20
what else to do with them,
00:37:55.24\00:37:56.57
or do we have some
that show up like that or--
00:37:56.60\00:37:59.44
We do, we don't
accept "trouble kids."
00:37:59.47\00:38:02.78
But you know
everybody has a past,
00:38:02.81\00:38:06.45
everybody has issues.
00:38:06.48\00:38:08.75
Sometimes the
parents just don't know
00:38:08.78\00:38:10.12
what to do with them.
00:38:10.15\00:38:11.69
And so we take that child
00:38:11.72\00:38:13.62
and through working with
Matt and Shawn on the farm,
00:38:13.66\00:38:16.16
working with me
around, you know,
00:38:16.19\00:38:18.16
the school, working with me
00:38:18.19\00:38:19.86
or the girls' dean in the dorms.
00:38:19.89\00:38:22.60
You know, and my
wife is the biggest part
00:38:22.63\00:38:25.47
of the boys' dean as I am.
00:38:25.50\00:38:27.40
We asked the dean
00:38:27.44\00:38:29.17
when we were
getting ready to go there,
00:38:29.20\00:38:30.54
"What do we need to do?"
00:38:30.57\00:38:32.07
And he says, "The
food that you feed them
00:38:32.11\00:38:33.68
and the time you spend with them
00:38:33.71\00:38:35.04
will make the difference."
00:38:35.08\00:38:36.41
And it does, it really does,
00:38:36.44\00:38:37.81
the time that we
can spend with the kids
00:38:37.85\00:38:39.71
is way really
makes the difference.
00:38:39.75\00:38:41.08
Sure.
00:38:41.12\00:38:42.45
So I didn't mean to imply
00:38:42.48\00:38:43.82
that you were taking
trouble children by I just--
00:38:43.85\00:38:45.19
No, no, no.
00:38:45.22\00:38:46.55
I just meant that as kids come
00:38:46.59\00:38:48.12
and I know that
they come from all over.
00:38:48.16\00:38:50.33
I mean, it
doesn't, you've got children
00:38:50.36\00:38:52.76
that are coming
from east to west,
00:38:52.79\00:38:55.26
but do you see a big
transformation in them
00:38:55.30\00:39:01.27
as they are there
over the year, two years,
00:39:01.30\00:39:04.94
do you see them growing?
00:39:04.97\00:39:06.51
Oh, I do. I absolutely do.
00:39:06.54\00:39:08.68
It's, you know,
00:39:08.71\00:39:10.05
sometimes you beat
your head against the wall
00:39:10.08\00:39:11.51
thinking, you know,
am I making a difference.
00:39:11.55\00:39:13.45
And I'll just
tell you a quick story.
00:39:13.48\00:39:15.05
We had a young man who came,
he didn't want to be there.
00:39:15.08\00:39:18.22
He wasn't
trouble, but, you know,
00:39:18.25\00:39:19.75
something his parents--
00:39:19.79\00:39:21.16
And anyway, he was very
bitter for having to be there.
00:39:21.19\00:39:23.96
So we just started working
with him, started loving him.
00:39:23.99\00:39:27.26
Long story short, I
came home one night,
00:39:27.30\00:39:30.07
I got home at 3'o
clock in the morning,
00:39:30.10\00:39:31.77
I walked into my
door, I looked at my right
00:39:31.80\00:39:33.94
and here's my dinning room table
00:39:33.97\00:39:35.30
in my living room,
00:39:35.34\00:39:36.67
and I'm
thinking, what's going on?
00:39:36.71\00:39:38.84
And you know, I
looked to my left,
00:39:38.87\00:39:40.88
and in my kitchen is
a brand new, handmade,
00:39:40.91\00:39:43.61
eight foot long oak
table that he made for us.
00:39:43.65\00:39:46.38
Wow. Yeah.
00:39:46.41\00:39:47.75
Wow. So do you have wood?
00:39:47.78\00:39:50.95
I mean, what kind
of classes do you have
00:39:50.99\00:39:52.92
other than the farm.
00:39:52.95\00:39:54.46
Well, last year we
did have a woodshop.
00:39:54.49\00:39:56.93
And Mr. Lenard
was our wood teacher.
00:39:56.96\00:39:58.66
And so he took
several months to make it,
00:39:58.69\00:40:02.30
so he was being helped
along the way, you know.
00:40:02.33\00:40:04.67
I do teach
welding, some, we have,
00:40:04.70\00:40:07.17
what we call,
life skills classes,
00:40:07.20\00:40:08.64
so we teach cooking,
welding, mountain biking,
00:40:08.67\00:40:11.71
auto shop, wood working.
00:40:11.74\00:40:13.07
Where do I sign up?
DayStarAdventistAcademy.org.
00:40:13.11\00:40:17.75
That's sounds like fun. Yeah.
00:40:17.78\00:40:21.35
So what are some of
your greatest needs,
00:40:21.38\00:40:24.45
other than we need 26,000
or some truckers right now,
00:40:24.49\00:40:28.02
what do you see for the future,
you want to build a new dorm?
00:40:28.06\00:40:33.40
It would be, you know,
00:40:33.43\00:40:35.00
we've had a donor
come in this last year
00:40:35.03\00:40:38.00
and do some marvelous
work around the campus.
00:40:38.03\00:40:40.57
He improved some roads, he
made us some shop buildings,
00:40:40.60\00:40:43.51
you know, and I
mean, we are so blessed
00:40:43.54\00:40:45.41
and so grateful
for those that he did
00:40:45.44\00:40:48.61
and we do need maintenance
on some of the buildings,
00:40:48.64\00:40:51.68
we haven't had a real
good maintenance program
00:40:51.71\00:40:53.98
so, you know, that,
the boys dorm would be--
00:40:54.02\00:40:56.52
Do you look for volunteer?
00:40:56.55\00:40:57.89
We do. We do. Okay.
00:40:57.92\00:40:59.25
Yes they can go online,
they can call the office,
00:40:59.29\00:41:02.69
and they, you know,
they'll be able to sign up.
00:41:02.72\00:41:04.86
We do have limited housing,
but we can house people for,
00:41:04.89\00:41:07.80
you know, short periods
of time where they can come,
00:41:07.83\00:41:10.40
you know, they would
be eating in the cafeteria
00:41:10.43\00:41:11.77
or in the home of a staff
while they were there working.
00:41:11.80\00:41:15.47
And we can
arrange their expertise,
00:41:15.50\00:41:17.97
what we could have them do.
00:41:18.01\00:41:20.18
You know, as you guys know here,
00:41:20.21\00:41:21.81
there's always landscaping,
you know, every single day.
00:41:21.84\00:41:27.38
And right now we're
in the hot, you know,
00:41:27.42\00:41:28.85
season so that--
00:41:28.88\00:41:32.22
We do also have
school starting in August
00:41:32.25\00:41:35.86
and we are in need of a
teacher and a cafeteria person.
00:41:35.89\00:41:40.70
Okay.
00:41:40.73\00:41:42.06
And there is some
other staff we need,
00:41:42.10\00:41:43.43
which you can find online.
00:41:43.47\00:41:44.80
Right now we're going put
that all that information up
00:41:44.83\00:41:48.50
in just a moment,
as a matter of fact
00:41:48.54\00:41:50.11
maybe now is the time to
do that is that we have--
00:41:50.14\00:41:54.41
If you feel
impressed by the Holy Spirit
00:41:54.44\00:41:58.08
to donate toward this
$26,000 or if you are a trucker
00:41:58.11\00:42:02.58
who could possibly
donate some services
00:42:02.62\00:42:05.99
from Kentucky to Utah,
00:42:06.02\00:42:08.79
or if you're a school
teacher, or a cafeteria worker
00:42:08.82\00:42:14.73
and maybe you're just
looking for a change of pace
00:42:14.76\00:42:17.73
and would like
to make a difference
00:42:17.77\00:42:19.70
in some children's lives
in a beautiful environment,
00:42:19.73\00:42:23.41

I'm sure that they
will appreciate any help
00:43:15.16\00:43:17.59
that you might give them now.
00:43:17.63\00:43:18.96
Here's the question,
00:43:18.99\00:43:20.33
once you get the greenhouse
from Kentucky to Utah,
00:43:20.36\00:43:26.13
what is the process of
erecting this huge thing?
00:43:26.17\00:43:30.41
Well, we got to get holes dug
00:43:30.44\00:43:33.54
and stubs in the
ground and concrete
00:43:33.58\00:43:36.14
and phase two
00:43:36.18\00:43:39.68
will likely cost 35,000.
00:43:39.71\00:43:43.65
And to get--
00:43:43.69\00:43:45.02
Oh so you're just unrolling
this a little at a time here.
00:43:45.05\00:43:47.66
You are here to talk about that.
00:43:47.69\00:43:49.29
Okay. Yeah.
00:43:49.32\00:43:50.76
We're not afraid of
work and we're willing to do
00:43:50.79\00:43:53.33
what we have to do
get to the next step so--
00:43:53.36\00:43:55.76
So when you say
35,000, is that because
00:43:55.80\00:43:57.63
it's going to
be a concrete floor
00:43:57.67\00:43:59.33
for these two
acres or what is this?
00:43:59.37\00:44:00.84
No, 'cause you got to put holes
in the ground for each post
00:44:00.87\00:44:03.81
and there's 300
posts or something.
00:44:03.84\00:44:05.34
Wow. There's a lot.
00:44:05.37\00:44:07.51
And you have to buy the concrete
00:44:07.54\00:44:08.88
and then you have
to buy the new stubs
00:44:08.91\00:44:10.25
to accept the posts.
00:44:10.28\00:44:11.61
Okay, okay. That's
the biggest expensive.
00:44:11.65\00:44:12.98
This is gonna
be a big one. Yeah.
00:44:13.01\00:44:14.48
But this could be life--
00:44:14.52\00:44:16.92
I should say, life
changing for the campus.
00:44:16.95\00:44:19.72
Yeah and this greenhouse
if we were to buy it new
00:44:19.75\00:44:22.66
plus range, so--
00:44:22.69\00:44:26.29
So the Lord really gave
you an incredible bargain
00:44:26.33\00:44:30.00
that you could
get this for 36,000.
00:44:30.03\00:44:32.23
That's amazing. Yeah it is.
00:44:32.27\00:44:34.37
You know, I've always said that
00:44:34.40\00:44:35.77
if children have the opportunity
00:44:35.80\00:44:39.07
to either get involved
with nature or farming,
00:44:39.11\00:44:43.61
get involved with the soil
and seeing things produced,
00:44:43.65\00:44:47.42
or if they have that opportunity
00:44:47.45\00:44:48.98
to go on a mission
trip, it can be life changing.
00:44:49.02\00:44:51.45
Now you also take
mission trips, right?
00:44:51.49\00:44:53.25
We do, generally every year,
00:44:53.29\00:44:56.42
we try to go somewhere
out of country if we can,
00:44:56.46\00:44:59.63
you know, to make a
difference and on occasion,
00:44:59.66\00:45:02.70
just spur of the
moment, mission trips come up.
00:45:02.73\00:45:06.84
We had one this year
at around Christmas time.
00:45:06.87\00:45:09.30
There was an event
going on in Myanmar,
00:45:09.34\00:45:11.47
which is the old
Burma near Thailand
00:45:11.51\00:45:14.04
and they were going to
train private ambulance company
00:45:14.08\00:45:18.38
to be the private
ambulance company.
00:45:18.41\00:45:20.35
They didn't really
have much official training.
00:45:20.38\00:45:22.55
I guess the country sponsored
ambulance are a long ways away
00:45:22.58\00:45:27.26
and you know,
not really much help.
00:45:27.29\00:45:28.79
So a doctor, an ER
doctor, a friend of ours,
00:45:28.82\00:45:30.76
Dr. Michael Darson
got with some friends
00:45:30.79\00:45:33.66
and one of those
friends happened to be Brock,
00:45:33.70\00:45:35.63
our Bible worker,
00:45:35.66\00:45:37.00
and he started to
talking to the students,
00:45:37.03\00:45:38.83
zero money, zero anything.
00:45:38.87\00:45:42.00
The students started praying,
00:45:42.04\00:45:45.87
any time that they
would come into an issue,
00:45:45.91\00:45:48.24
they would get
together and they would pray.
00:45:48.28\00:45:50.15
Money started coming in.
00:45:50.18\00:45:51.55
Before the end,
every person that went,
00:45:51.58\00:45:54.52
their tickets were funded
00:45:54.55\00:45:55.98
and they had
money to go on the trip.
00:45:56.02\00:45:57.52
Praise God.
Yeah, it was amazing.
00:45:57.55\00:45:59.02
It was a miracle and--
00:45:59.05\00:46:00.96
Oh, but I am just
thinking how wonderful,
00:46:00.99\00:46:03.49
what an
experience for young people
00:46:03.53\00:46:05.93
to learn this that
God is your source.
00:46:05.96\00:46:07.73
It is.
00:46:07.76\00:46:09.10
And they still
talk about it today.
00:46:09.13\00:46:10.47
It's amazing.
00:46:10.50\00:46:11.83
Well, one of the
things that happen was,
00:46:11.87\00:46:13.20
they came in and
their plane was late.
00:46:13.23\00:46:15.80
And I don't know
if you know anything
00:46:15.84\00:46:17.17
about traveling through China,
00:46:17.21\00:46:18.54
but they're very
strict and they got late
00:46:18.57\00:46:20.88
and their
temporary visa was expired.
00:46:20.91\00:46:23.78
So they were
coming in through customs,
00:46:23.81\00:46:26.15
my daughter got wished through
00:46:26.18\00:46:27.88
and then they
stopped the rest of the group
00:46:27.92\00:46:29.82
and they took them
to holding somewhere
00:46:29.85\00:46:32.32
and they were
giving them a bad time.
00:46:32.35\00:46:34.12
It was Christmas day
and one of the staff said,
00:46:34.16\00:46:36.73
"You know what lets
just sing Christmas songs,"
00:46:36.76\00:46:38.49
so they started
singing Christmas songs,
00:46:38.53\00:46:40.43
it changed the whole
demeanor of everybody in there,
00:46:40.46\00:46:43.06
they apologized to them,
they gave them all gifts,
00:46:43.10\00:46:45.40
they escorted them,
they held the plane,
00:46:45.43\00:46:47.27
they all got on the plane
and they made it to Myanmar.
00:46:47.30\00:46:49.90
How wonderful! It was amazing.
00:46:49.94\00:46:52.94
Yeah, that would be a trip
that they will be talking about
00:46:52.97\00:46:56.24
for the rest of their lives.
00:46:56.28\00:46:57.61
My daughter still
talks about it today.
00:46:57.65\00:46:58.98
Amen.
00:46:59.01\00:47:00.35
And so, she uses those examples,
00:47:00.38\00:47:01.72
she uses those experiences.
00:47:01.75\00:47:03.08
She texted me today, she said,
"Dad, we're praying for you."
00:47:03.12\00:47:05.75
Amen.
00:47:05.79\00:47:07.12
It's precious to
see when young people
00:47:07.16\00:47:09.29
have developed
that passion for prayer
00:47:09.32\00:47:12.09
and they know the
value of the prayer of faith
00:47:12.13\00:47:14.70
and that's the beauty
of what you're imparting
00:47:14.73\00:47:16.73
and I know you.
00:47:16.77\00:47:18.10
I just want to thank you both
00:47:18.13\00:47:19.47
because I know your hearts
are filled with passion and zeal
00:47:19.50\00:47:21.94
for these young ones
00:47:21.97\00:47:23.30
and they're imparting not
just an academic education
00:47:23.34\00:47:27.01
but they are
imparting the truth of the Bible
00:47:27.04\00:47:29.54
that Jesus said, "I am the
way, the truth, and the life,"
00:47:29.58\00:47:32.41
and that "if you know the
truth, it'll set you free."
00:47:32.45\00:47:35.02
So they're doing everything
from a biblical basis.
00:47:35.05\00:47:37.15
And these
children are learning truly
00:47:37.19\00:47:40.89
what Christ-like character.
00:47:40.92\00:47:44.16
And then you've
got the wonderful
00:47:44.19\00:47:46.56
physical element
involved in there
00:47:46.59\00:47:49.66
where you are
teaching them truly to--
00:47:49.70\00:47:53.23
A good work ethic.
00:47:53.27\00:47:55.97
You might want to look
at sending your child there
00:47:56.00\00:47:58.27
this coming year,
it begins in August.
00:47:58.31\00:48:00.68
So now what we're going to
do before we go to news break
00:48:00.71\00:48:03.85
is we would like
to have another song
00:48:03.88\00:48:06.51
with Stephanie Dawn.
00:48:06.55\00:48:07.88
But this time she
is going to sing a duet
00:48:07.92\00:48:10.32
with our own
Pastor John Lomacang.
00:48:10.35\00:48:12.95
And they're going to
sing, "Touch your people."
00:48:12.99\00:48:15.59
We need wisdom we need power
00:48:31.81\00:48:36.31
And true love for each other
00:48:36.34\00:48:39.35
We have had so
many big but empty words
00:48:39.38\00:48:46.72
So we come before Your face
00:48:46.76\00:48:51.79
Asking for Your grace
00:48:51.83\00:48:54.73
Bring Your people to
a state of kingdom life
00:48:54.76\00:49:01.60
Restore Your church again
00:49:01.64\00:49:08.31
Touch Your people once again
00:49:08.34\00:49:15.55
With Your precious holy hand
00:49:15.58\00:49:20.19
We pray
00:49:20.22\00:49:22.29
Let Your kingdom
shine upon this earth
00:49:22.32\00:49:28.66
Through a living glorious church
00:49:28.70\00:49:35.34
Not for temporary deeds
00:49:35.37\00:49:41.64
But to restore
authority and power
00:49:41.68\00:49:48.45
Let a mighty rushing wind
00:49:48.48\00:49:52.35
Blow in
00:49:52.39\00:49:57.89
Touch your people once again
00:49:57.93\00:50:04.30
Lord You see Your tired servants
00:50:13.27\00:50:18.61
And Your broken wounded soldiers
00:50:18.65\00:50:21.98
Oh how much we need
Your precious healing hand
00:50:22.02\00:50:29.72
We need the power of the cross
00:50:29.76\00:50:34.46
As the only source for us
00:50:34.50\00:50:37.57
When we stand up
facing final battle cry
00:50:37.60\00:50:44.34
Restore your church again
00:50:44.37\00:50:51.15
Touch Your people once again
00:50:51.18\00:50:58.42
With Your precious Holy Hand
00:50:58.45\00:51:03.16
We pray
00:51:03.19\00:51:05.13
Let Your kingdom
shine upon this earth
00:51:05.16\00:51:11.70
Through a living glorious church
00:51:11.73\00:51:18.31
Not for temporary deeds
00:51:18.34\00:51:24.71
But to restore
authority and power
00:51:24.75\00:51:31.55
Let a mighty rushing wind
00:51:31.59\00:51:35.49
Blow in
00:51:35.52\00:51:41.06
Touch your people once again
00:51:41.10\00:51:47.80
Let a mighty rushing wind
00:51:47.84\00:51:52.04
Blow in
00:51:52.07\00:51:57.71
Touch your people once again.
00:51:57.75\00:52:04.65
