I want to spend my life
00:00:01.80\00:00:07.64
Mending broken people
00:00:07.67\00:00:12.67
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.71\00:00:18.81
Removing pain
00:00:18.85\00:00:23.89
Lord, let my words
00:00:23.92\00:00:29.79
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:29.82\00:00:34.73
I want to spend my life
00:00:34.76\00:00:40.34
Mending broken people
00:00:40.37\00:00:45.84
I want to spend my life
00:00:45.87\00:00:51.51
Mending broken people
00:00:51.55\00:00:55.02
Hello, and
welcome to a 3ABN today.
00:01:07.06\00:01:09.53
My name is CA Murray
and allow me once again
00:01:09.56\00:01:11.63
to thank you for sharing
00:01:11.67\00:01:13.54
just a little of your
no doubt busy day with us.
00:01:13.57\00:01:16.67
We thank you for your love,
00:01:16.71\00:01:18.04
your prayers,
00:01:18.07\00:01:19.41
your support of Three
Angels Broadcasting Network.
00:01:19.44\00:01:21.44
We know that we could not
do what we're called to do
00:01:21.48\00:01:23.78
without your
partnership and support.
00:01:23.81\00:01:25.91
So from the bottom of our hearts
00:01:25.95\00:01:27.28
we say, once again
thank you very much.
00:01:27.32\00:01:29.58
I'm excited yah verily today,
00:01:29.62\00:01:32.89
because of our subject matter
00:01:32.92\00:01:34.69
and because of
our special guests,
00:01:34.72\00:01:37.66
and I'm gonna use
that term so often
00:01:37.69\00:01:39.59
but today's guests
really are special.
00:01:39.63\00:01:41.53
First of all, I'm
joined by my wife Irma
00:01:41.56\00:01:44.37
who I don't always get
to have to co-host with me
00:01:44.40\00:01:46.84
but she is with me today,
00:01:46.87\00:01:48.20
and I'll tell you
why in just a little bit.
00:01:48.24\00:01:49.57
Irma, good to have you here?
00:01:49.60\00:01:51.17
Good to be here, honey,
especially with our friends.
00:01:51.21\00:01:53.71
Yeah, with our
friends and guest.
00:01:53.74\00:01:55.48
And they are...
00:01:55.51\00:01:57.41
these are two unique individuals
00:01:57.45\00:01:59.68
dare I say
Duane and Kathy McKay.
00:01:59.71\00:02:04.39
Give us your new title
00:02:04.42\00:02:05.75
because you're
wearing a lot of hats, now,
00:02:05.79\00:02:07.42
you're getting to be like
a volunteer kind of a person
00:02:07.46\00:02:09.32
all over the place
00:02:09.36\00:02:10.69
because you're
elected to Sabbath school,
00:02:10.73\00:02:13.76
and personal ministries
00:02:13.80\00:02:15.16
but you picked up
another kind of hat
00:02:15.20\00:02:17.17
once you got to
the general conference.
00:02:17.20\00:02:19.27
Total member involvement,
assistant to the president,
00:02:19.30\00:02:21.27
total member involvement.
00:02:21.30\00:02:22.97
Now, evangelism
is kind in your DNA,
00:02:23.00\00:02:25.17
so was not a big
stretch for you to do that.
00:02:25.21\00:02:26.71
Right.
00:02:26.74\00:02:28.08
Because that's something,
00:02:28.11\00:02:29.44
we met you it was in evangelism,
00:02:29.48\00:02:30.81
some years ago in
the Philippines together.
00:02:30.85\00:02:32.41
Your wife Kathy
always by your side.
00:02:32.45\00:02:33.98
Now your title is really long,
00:02:34.02\00:02:35.92
some I would let
you give us your title
00:02:35.95\00:02:37.59
and your responsibility.
00:02:37.62\00:02:39.39
Well, it's a real privilege
to be with social media
00:02:39.42\00:02:43.16
and outreach coordinator
from Elder Wilson's office.
00:02:43.19\00:02:46.06
Praise the Lord, and
speaking of Elder Wilson,
00:02:46.09\00:02:48.40
we have via
Skype from his office,
00:02:48.43\00:02:51.50
the president of
the General Conference
00:02:51.53\00:02:53.10
Elder Ted Wilson.
00:02:53.13\00:02:54.47
Elder, are you there?
00:02:54.50\00:02:55.84
I'm here, CA,
00:02:55.87\00:02:57.21
and great to be
with you and Irma
00:02:57.24\00:02:59.01
as well as Kathy and Duane.
00:02:59.04\00:03:01.51
It's a great
privilege. Praise the Lord.
00:03:01.54\00:03:03.41
Now, we got a little
blank chair next to you
00:03:03.45\00:03:05.11
because we're gonna be
joined by your wife shortly.
00:03:05.15\00:03:07.95
We're looking forward to that
and I'm hoping my dear elder
00:03:07.98\00:03:10.75
that you and Kathy and
Nancy can convince my wife to do
00:03:10.79\00:03:15.36
something that she has
threatened to do in the past
00:03:15.39\00:03:18.56
and which I'm told your wife did
00:03:18.59\00:03:20.93
over the last several months,
00:03:20.96\00:03:22.50
we're gonna talk about
that in just a little bit,
00:03:22.53\00:03:24.23
but Nancy had a
chance to step out
00:03:24.27\00:03:25.80
and become an evangelist
00:03:25.83\00:03:27.47
and we want to talk about that,
00:03:27.50\00:03:29.20
and maybe between she and Kathy,
00:03:29.24\00:03:31.11
we kind of get Irma to
strap on the evangelistic hat,
00:03:31.14\00:03:33.84
and though she
threatened to do it
00:03:33.88\00:03:35.51
but she hadn't quite
come through just yet.
00:03:35.54\00:03:37.65
So maybe between the two of you,
00:03:37.68\00:03:39.01
you can do that.
00:03:39.05\00:03:40.38
Let me pay you my
dear elder a compliment
00:03:40.42\00:03:43.28
because you
practice what you preach,
00:03:43.32\00:03:45.52
and I know with your
incredibly busy schedule,
00:03:45.55\00:03:48.39
you manage to get in some active
00:03:48.42\00:03:51.39
front line evangelism,
00:03:51.43\00:03:53.40
if not every year
certainly periodically
00:03:53.43\00:03:55.76
and that's something that
you've chosen to do, isn't it?
00:03:55.80\00:03:59.37
Absolutely, CA,
00:03:59.40\00:04:00.74
and let me just
refer to your comment
00:04:00.77\00:04:04.37
about my wife
being involved and Kathy,
00:04:04.41\00:04:08.21
you just wait till you
hear their testimonies,
00:04:08.24\00:04:11.08
it's absolutely thrilling
00:04:11.11\00:04:13.25
what the Lord
can do through anyone
00:04:13.28\00:04:16.38
who is willing to be a
mouth piece for the Lord,
00:04:16.42\00:04:20.66
but I do take time every year
00:04:20.69\00:04:25.49
and that's been the case
now for the last couple of years
00:04:25.53\00:04:28.26
or so and we have a program
00:04:28.30\00:04:30.33
for the rest of
the quinquennium,
00:04:30.37\00:04:32.60
where we hold an
evangelistic meeting every year
00:04:32.63\00:04:36.87
and it's a thrill
to be able to do that.
00:04:36.91\00:04:40.38
For me personally it
just totally reaffirms
00:04:40.41\00:04:46.01
my great
conviction in scriptural truth
00:04:46.05\00:04:48.95
and then what
the Bible has to say
00:04:48.98\00:04:51.29
about last day events
00:04:51.32\00:04:53.52
about the Lord's intervention
in our own personal lives,
00:04:53.56\00:04:56.56
and what we need to
be doing in these very...
00:04:56.59\00:05:01.76
You just visit your own website,
00:05:01.80\00:05:06.57
news website that
you're familiar with
00:05:06.60\00:05:08.94
or you're
listening on television
00:05:08.97\00:05:10.81
or the radio or whatever it is.
00:05:10.84\00:05:12.67
I mean just about every day
00:05:12.71\00:05:15.74
there is something horrific
happening around the world.
00:05:15.78\00:05:19.28
that tells me that
Jesus is coming very soon
00:05:19.31\00:05:22.52
that impels me in
an even greater way
00:05:22.55\00:05:25.22
to be involved with
total member involvement
00:05:25.25\00:05:27.66
and with evangelistic outreach.
00:05:27.69\00:05:31.96
Now in some places
00:05:31.99\00:05:33.33
public evangelism is
a kind of a challenge
00:05:33.36\00:05:35.76
and perhaps in some other way
00:05:35.80\00:05:38.87
things can be approached
00:05:38.90\00:05:41.74
but it is something that I think
00:05:41.77\00:05:44.44
in almost every
part of the world
00:05:44.47\00:05:46.88
can have real
impact in people's lives.
00:05:46.91\00:05:51.71
The problem is that
evangelism doesn't just happen,
00:05:51.75\00:05:56.02
it has to have a
long preparation.
00:05:56.05\00:05:59.29
It is a constant
ongoing comprehensive approach
00:05:59.32\00:06:03.19
and that's what total
member involvement is all about.
00:06:03.22\00:06:06.29
It's not just
those peak experiences
00:06:06.33\00:06:08.73
of having evangelistic meetings.
00:06:08.76\00:06:12.23
In February we're
gonna be in Romania.
00:06:12.27\00:06:15.04
The next year
we're gonna be in Japan,
00:06:15.07\00:06:17.14
the year after that in India,
00:06:17.17\00:06:19.27
and the following year in
probably Papua New Guinea.
00:06:19.31\00:06:24.21
But those are just the
tips of everything that happens
00:06:24.25\00:06:28.05
and that's total
member involvement.
00:06:28.08\00:06:29.95
People be involved
in so many activities
00:06:29.98\00:06:32.92
which I certainly share
in a few moments as well,
00:06:32.95\00:06:36.99
but evangelism has to be
the life blood of all of us,
00:06:37.03\00:06:41.50
pastors, church
members, every one united.
00:06:41.53\00:06:44.93
Amen.
00:06:44.97\00:06:46.30
Elder, I wanted to
just get this in before
00:06:46.33\00:06:48.00
we get to far in our program.
00:06:48.04\00:06:49.50
Danny Shelton would be here
00:06:49.54\00:06:51.37
and asked me to send you
his love and his greetings
00:06:51.41\00:06:55.51
as you may know he
just had a serious surgery
00:06:55.54\00:06:58.01
on his vocal cord.
00:06:58.05\00:06:59.55
He had a growth there
that was hampering his voice,
00:06:59.58\00:07:03.45
he wasn't able to sing
and barely able to speak,
00:07:03.49\00:07:06.05
and so two weeks ago,
00:07:06.09\00:07:07.86
he had a very, very,
very extensive surgery,
00:07:07.89\00:07:10.39
very kind of touch
and go there in Nashville,
00:07:10.43\00:07:12.69
and he his on total
silence for at least 90 days.
00:07:12.73\00:07:17.33
Now of course if
you know Danny Shelton
00:07:17.37\00:07:18.70
that is cruel and
unusual punishment,
00:07:18.73\00:07:22.40
but the doctor has told
him that he needs not to speak,
00:07:22.44\00:07:25.14
certainly not at speaking level,
00:07:25.17\00:07:26.88
he can whisper just
a few words each day,
00:07:26.91\00:07:29.61
but this is very,
very serious so he said,
00:07:29.64\00:07:31.58
he asked me to send to
you his love, his support.
00:07:31.61\00:07:35.75
You know, you're greatly loved
and respected here at 3ABN.
00:07:35.78\00:07:38.89
And he wanted to
make sure that you knew
00:07:38.92\00:07:41.26
that if he could be
here, he would be here
00:07:41.29\00:07:43.32
but he is not allowed to talk.
00:07:43.36\00:07:44.93
We don't really expect to
hear anything from Danny Shelton
00:07:44.96\00:07:47.30
until maybe Happy
Thanksgiving if then.
00:07:47.33\00:07:50.77
So he is suffering along,
trying to preserve his voice,
00:07:50.80\00:07:53.80
but he did want me
to give his greetings,
00:07:53.84\00:07:55.37
his love and his well wishes.
00:07:55.40\00:07:57.87
Well, please give
him special greetings
00:07:57.91\00:08:01.71
and I'll pray that
the healing process
00:08:01.74\00:08:05.01
will take place
in a very special way
00:08:05.05\00:08:08.52
by God's blessing,
00:08:08.55\00:08:10.89
and let me just assure
you, we appreciate very much,
00:08:10.92\00:08:14.62
the
evangelistic outreach of 3ABN
00:08:14.66\00:08:18.03
that touches so
many thousands of lives
00:08:18.06\00:08:20.96
all over these globe.
00:08:21.00\00:08:23.03
Thank you for what you're doing.
00:08:23.06\00:08:24.63
Oh, praise the Lord.
00:08:24.67\00:08:26.17
It's funny because he,
00:08:26.20\00:08:27.74
we're heading to London
as you well know in September
00:08:27.77\00:08:30.84
and he has on his
iPad a little voice,
00:08:30.87\00:08:33.88
he can type out his words
00:08:33.91\00:08:35.71
and the voice is
the British voice.
00:08:35.74\00:08:38.58
I thought you can
hear Danny Shelton
00:08:38.61\00:08:39.98
with the British voice.
00:08:40.02\00:08:41.42
I don't know if he's
that comfortable with it,
00:08:41.45\00:08:42.92
but that's his
way of communication.
00:08:42.95\00:08:44.92
Elder, if you will
give us the genesis of TMI,
00:08:44.95\00:08:48.92
total member evangelism
and its evolution as a program
00:08:48.96\00:08:52.73
that you
certainly are supporting.
00:08:52.76\00:08:54.86
Talk to us little
bit about that program,
00:08:54.90\00:08:56.36
where it came from
and how it's doing?
00:08:56.40\00:08:59.33
Well, before I do that,
00:08:59.37\00:09:00.74
let me just welcome my dear wife
00:09:00.77\00:09:03.34
and she is here and
as her Rwandan outfit on
00:09:03.37\00:09:09.41
and that will help us
to connect with Rwanda
00:09:09.44\00:09:12.05
in a few moments,
00:09:12.08\00:09:13.42
when she tells
her powerful testimony
00:09:13.45\00:09:15.82
about preaching
the word of God there,
00:09:15.85\00:09:18.52
so welcome Nancy.
00:09:18.55\00:09:19.89
Thank you.
00:09:19.92\00:09:22.19
Total member involvement,
00:09:22.22\00:09:24.06
it is one of
those beautiful concepts
00:09:24.09\00:09:29.86
that certainly is
born from scripture itself.
00:09:29.90\00:09:35.30
You now in Mathew 28 it says
00:09:35.34\00:09:37.61
go tell the world, all nations,
00:09:37.64\00:09:40.88
preach the
gospel, the Book of Mark
00:09:40.91\00:09:44.25
but you know there
is a beautiful text
00:09:44.28\00:09:45.61
in the Book
00:09:45.65\00:09:46.98
of John 9:4
00:09:47.02\00:09:53.19
and it's Jesus speaking
Himself and He tells us,
00:09:53.22\00:09:57.33
"I must work the
works of him that sent me,
00:09:57.36\00:10:02.13
while it is day
00:10:02.16\00:10:04.30
the night cometh
when no man can work."
00:10:04.33\00:10:07.44
The Lord
Himself knew the urgency
00:10:07.47\00:10:10.97
of trying to share the
precious message of salvation
00:10:11.01\00:10:15.18
and his own second coming
00:10:15.21\00:10:18.71
and to prepare people for
that incredible opportunity
00:10:18.75\00:10:21.82
at the very end of time.
00:10:21.85\00:10:23.62
So if it was so
urgent for the Lord Himself
00:10:23.65\00:10:27.42
to be out doing work,
00:10:27.46\00:10:29.29
then it is our
wonderful privilege as well.
00:10:29.32\00:10:32.59
Total Member
Involvement came about
00:10:32.63\00:10:34.83
with many aspects of
people working together
00:10:34.86\00:10:40.24
to help us to know something
00:10:40.27\00:10:41.70
that is always been
known by the church,
00:10:41.74\00:10:44.41
that everyone, every member
00:10:44.44\00:10:46.71
needs to be involved in
doing something for Jesus.
00:10:46.74\00:10:50.38
Now, Mike Ryan
00:10:50.41\00:10:53.01
who was a vice president
of the General Conference
00:10:53.05\00:10:56.92
and is an
assistant to the president
00:10:56.95\00:10:58.65
at the present time,
00:10:58.69\00:11:00.99
had a great
burden for these as well,
00:11:01.02\00:11:03.86
and kept talking to me about
00:11:03.89\00:11:05.36
how to get lay members involved.
00:11:05.39\00:11:10.13
You read the incredible
quotation in Testimonies,
00:11:10.17\00:11:14.67
Volume 9, page 117,
00:11:14.70\00:11:17.37
in fact, if want to
read the context of it,
00:11:17.41\00:11:20.08
you certainly can go
back at earlier pages
00:11:20.11\00:11:22.88
especially 116 and 117
00:11:22.91\00:11:25.85
but on 117 it says,
00:11:25.88\00:11:27.38
that the work in this
earth will not be finished
00:11:27.42\00:11:31.39
until the men and women
00:11:31.42\00:11:33.22
comprising church membership
will rally to the work
00:11:33.25\00:11:37.66
with pastors or
ministers and church officers
00:11:37.69\00:11:42.53
and as we look at
the complete picture
00:11:42.56\00:11:45.33
of how the church can proclaimed
00:11:45.37\00:11:48.70
the three angels messages
00:11:48.74\00:11:50.97
which of course is
part of your actual logo
00:11:51.01\00:11:55.31
and sign as far as
00:11:55.34\00:11:58.05
Three Angels
Broadcasting Network.
00:11:58.08\00:12:01.08
The three angels messages
are God's special messages
00:12:01.12\00:12:04.69
and the fourth
message of Revelation 18,
00:12:04.72\00:12:07.29
calling people back to
the true worship of God,
00:12:07.32\00:12:10.46
the very core of
those three angels messages
00:12:10.49\00:12:14.20
is the
righteousness of Jesus Christ
00:12:14.23\00:12:17.13
and depending
completely upon Him
00:12:17.17\00:12:19.23
and not upon
tradition or some external force
00:12:19.27\00:12:23.71
but upon Christ
and His saving power.
00:12:23.74\00:12:26.94
When we begin to understand
00:12:26.98\00:12:28.31
that all of these has to be done
00:12:28.34\00:12:30.21
by the church at large,
00:12:30.25\00:12:33.65
it becomes a
powerful witness to the way
00:12:33.68\00:12:38.02
all of us can work together.
00:12:38.05\00:12:40.36
Duane working with
the South Western Union
00:12:40.39\00:12:43.63
and he's probably
gonna mention this.
00:12:43.66\00:12:46.03
We had a
tremendous evangelistic...
00:12:46.06\00:12:49.13
in San Antonio.
00:12:49.16\00:12:50.80
Lay people working with pastors,
00:12:50.83\00:12:53.50
health outreach,
all kinds of activities.
00:12:53.54\00:12:56.87
It is one of those things
were total member involvement
00:12:56.91\00:13:00.14
has to be the theme of all of us
00:13:00.18\00:13:03.78
in order that we see the unity
00:13:03.81\00:13:05.98
that the Lord has asked for us
00:13:06.01\00:13:09.25
to be involved with
at the very end of time
00:13:09.28\00:13:11.05
and he prayed
for that in John 17
00:13:11.09\00:13:14.56
not just that we might
be one in a happy family
00:13:14.59\00:13:17.93
but that we might be
one in sharing the message
00:13:17.96\00:13:20.53
in a powerful way..
00:13:20.56\00:13:22.30
So, Total Member
Involvement is something
00:13:22.33\00:13:25.47
that was born by many people
00:13:25.50\00:13:28.10
obviously looking at
how best to approach things
00:13:28.14\00:13:31.74
but then solidifying
our outreach activities.
00:13:31.77\00:13:35.91
And Total Member Involvement
00:13:35.94\00:13:37.28
involves
literature distribution,
00:13:37.31\00:13:39.28
it involves young
people working health outreach,
00:13:39.31\00:13:42.55
community services,
it involves publishing,
00:13:42.58\00:13:46.09
it involves all
aspects of everyone's life.
00:13:46.12\00:13:51.76
It's not just evangelism
as I said, public evangelism.
00:13:51.79\00:13:54.93
but it leads to that,
00:13:54.96\00:13:56.67
but it is something that reaches
00:13:56.70\00:13:59.37
the hearts of church members
00:13:59.40\00:14:01.04
and helps them to realize,
I'm a follower of Christ.
00:14:01.07\00:14:05.14
I must do something for Him.
00:14:05.17\00:14:07.68
And so, Total Member Involvement
00:14:07.71\00:14:09.21
is a wonderful signal
00:14:09.24\00:14:11.68
we're giving to
the entire world church
00:14:11.71\00:14:14.05
that all of us must be involved
in this last proclamation.
00:14:14.08\00:14:18.05
I believe Jesus
is coming very soon,
00:14:18.09\00:14:20.59
that's why all of
us need to be involved
00:14:20.62\00:14:23.59
in these last day work.
00:14:23.63\00:14:25.09
Amen, Elder, I
knows you didn't say
00:14:25.13\00:14:27.00
total member preaching,
00:14:27.03\00:14:29.30
total member involvement means
00:14:29.33\00:14:30.70
doing whatever
lies at your hand to do,
00:14:30.73\00:14:33.23
whatever skill
set God has given you
00:14:33.27\00:14:35.34
to put that in to the
evangelism pot dare I say,
00:14:35.37\00:14:39.04
so that your pot of
the overall movement
00:14:39.07\00:14:41.04
some preaching, some teaching,
00:14:41.08\00:14:42.41
some doing
other kinds of things,
00:14:42.44\00:14:43.78
but just being involved.
00:14:43.81\00:14:45.45
Exactly, and let me
just underline that again CA,
00:14:45.48\00:14:47.98
you're absolutely right.
00:14:48.02\00:14:49.68
Total Member
Involvement is not just
00:14:49.72\00:14:52.39
public event
evangelistic meetings.
00:14:52.42\00:14:54.52
It is doing everything
possible to influence a life
00:14:54.56\00:14:58.29
to turn that life to
the abundant life in Christ
00:14:58.33\00:15:02.70
and then public
evangelism is just
00:15:02.73\00:15:05.50
the little tip of the iceberg,
00:15:05.53\00:15:07.04
and then you go back to doing
00:15:07.07\00:15:08.60
the comprehensive approach
of total member involvement,
00:15:08.64\00:15:12.24
it's a powerful formula.
00:15:12.27\00:15:13.91
Amen.
00:15:13.94\00:15:15.28
Nancy, you look lovely,
00:15:15.31\00:15:17.25
you and Kathy are matching here,
00:15:17.28\00:15:19.61
and I want you to get ready
00:15:19.65\00:15:20.98
because I know
you've got a great report
00:15:21.02\00:15:22.35
and I'm saying that to
sort of peek my wife's ears
00:15:22.38\00:15:24.32
because I want her
to tune in very closely
00:15:24.35\00:15:26.05
when you're speaking,
but before you do that,
00:15:26.09\00:15:28.99
I want to go to
Duane for just a moment
00:15:29.02\00:15:30.53
because this latest outreach,
00:15:30.56\00:15:34.93
public outreach
00:15:34.96\00:15:36.80
and one of course
when you think Rwanda,
00:15:36.83\00:15:39.13
you know the past of course,
00:15:39.17\00:15:40.94
but God has really
turned that place around,
00:15:40.97\00:15:43.67
and there are some
numbers coming out of Rwanda
00:15:43.71\00:15:46.07
that are just for
one of the better terms,
00:15:46.11\00:15:47.51
staggering.
00:15:47.54\00:15:48.88
Talk to us about these latest
evangelistic effort in Rwanda.
00:15:48.91\00:15:52.25
Sure, actually as
Elder Wilson mentioned,
00:15:52.28\00:15:55.75
we got good ideas last year,
00:15:55.78\00:15:57.22
wonderful things
happened in San Antonio
00:15:57.25\00:15:59.52
and Harare, Zimbabwe.
00:15:59.55\00:16:01.49
We make a health
event in San Antonio
00:16:01.52\00:16:03.16
pathways to health...
00:16:03.19\00:16:04.53
Kathy, how many
were, patients we had?
00:16:04.56\00:16:06.56
Almost, 6,200.
00:16:06.59\00:16:07.93
6,200 patients that were treated
00:16:07.96\00:16:10.23
and then the health
seminars and then the meetings
00:16:10.27\00:16:12.73
and now we've eight new churches
00:16:12.77\00:16:15.57
as a result in San
Antonio, that's in America.
00:16:15.60\00:16:17.77
Amen.
00:16:17.81\00:16:19.14
And in Harare,
Zimbabwe, 30,000 new members
00:16:19.17\00:16:22.61
with almost a thousand meetings
held there reaping as well.
00:16:22.64\00:16:26.68
Also a huge health event
00:16:26.72\00:16:28.38
that treated more then
30,000 people before that.
00:16:28.42\00:16:29.78
30,000 is an impressing number.
00:16:29.82\00:16:31.15
That's impressive.
00:16:31.19\00:16:32.52
Yeah, it is an
impressive number...
00:16:32.55\00:16:33.89
Yes, that's a lot of people.
Till you talk about this year.
00:16:33.92\00:16:35.26
Yeah.
00:16:35.29\00:16:36.62
But this year we had
more people involved.
00:16:36.66\00:16:38.43
More people with
ASI supplying sermons
00:16:38.46\00:16:42.83
to 1850 lay preachers.
00:16:42.86\00:16:46.20
We had over 2227
meetings held there.
00:16:46.23\00:16:50.71
Two thousand two
hundred, and twenty seven.
00:16:50.74\00:16:52.71
Two thousand two
hundred twenty seven
00:16:52.74\00:16:54.08
separate meetings?
00:16:54.11\00:16:55.44
Separate meetings.
00:16:55.48\00:16:56.81
Going on at the
same time? Same time.
00:16:56.85\00:16:58.18
At the same time, wow.
00:16:58.21\00:16:59.55
Yeah, and Nancy had
one and Ted had one,
00:16:59.58\00:17:00.92
well, they just had two
meetings out of the 2227,
00:17:00.95\00:17:05.15
it was thrilling,
all the preparation,
00:17:05.19\00:17:06.99
all the people working
ASI and prayer ministries
00:17:07.02\00:17:09.79
from the General Conference
00:17:09.82\00:17:11.16
Jerry and Janet Page were there,
00:17:11.19\00:17:12.79
ADRA and community services,
00:17:12.83\00:17:15.20
it was thrilling as
all of us working together.
00:17:15.23\00:17:17.37
People in Rwanda rallied around.
00:17:17.40\00:17:19.47
Kathy has a...
00:17:19.50\00:17:20.84
I think you had
that scarf, do you?
00:17:20.87\00:17:22.34
I do. She has TMI scarf.
00:17:22.37\00:17:24.04
As you drove
across country of Rwanda,
00:17:24.07\00:17:25.94
you will see TMI
Total Member Involvement
00:17:25.97\00:17:28.34
banners and scarves,
00:17:28.38\00:17:29.71
and umbrellas, and
all kinds of things.
00:17:29.74\00:17:31.08
All right. There you go.
00:17:31.11\00:17:34.45
TMI and then have the
Rwandese equivalent below that,
00:17:34.48\00:17:37.69
it worked out TMI as well there,
00:17:37.72\00:17:39.79
so total member involvement.
00:17:39.82\00:17:42.02
So, you had significant buying
00:17:42.06\00:17:43.63
and preparatory work
done by the local field.
00:17:43.66\00:17:46.36
It was, it was done by them.
00:17:46.39\00:17:47.73
Yeah, they work so
hard, they worked, all,
00:17:47.76\00:17:49.80
everyone there
was involved it seem,
00:17:49.83\00:17:51.40
even the children
said to Kathy TCI, TCI.
00:17:51.43\00:17:55.00
Total children involvement.
00:17:55.04\00:17:58.17
Praise the Lord.
00:17:58.21\00:17:59.54
Now, give us the punch
line, the total baptism was...
00:17:59.57\00:18:02.94
It's unbelievable
and this is a miracle
00:18:02.98\00:18:04.91
and some people say,
00:18:04.95\00:18:06.28
did you pay them to be baptized.
00:18:06.31\00:18:09.35
No, no, these people
made wonderful commandments
00:18:09.38\00:18:12.75
and they work with,
they had prayer cards,
00:18:12.79\00:18:15.56
people prayed, they
would write down names.
00:18:15.59\00:18:17.96
One lady wrote down eleven names
00:18:17.99\00:18:19.56
on her prayer card.
00:18:19.59\00:18:21.26
We'll see, I think
I've a copy of that,
00:18:21.30\00:18:24.77
right here 11
names on her prayer card
00:18:24.80\00:18:28.00
on the back on
this card, the TMI card.
00:18:28.04\00:18:30.17
There were 11 names written down
00:18:30.21\00:18:31.87
and she said later
there were 11 people baptized.
00:18:31.91\00:18:35.24
Praise the
Lord. Praise the Lord.
00:18:35.28\00:18:36.61
Like her prayer card,
00:18:36.64\00:18:37.98
and she had...
00:18:38.01\00:18:39.35
And the exciting thing was
00:18:39.38\00:18:40.72
that when people made a
decision to be baptized.
00:18:40.75\00:18:42.75
I saw this time and time again,
00:18:42.78\00:18:44.39
they would come forward,
00:18:44.42\00:18:45.75
the pastors would say to them,
00:18:45.79\00:18:47.19
now you can't be baptized
00:18:47.22\00:18:48.56
unless you promised to win one,
00:18:48.59\00:18:50.99
each one win one,
yeah, each one, win one,
00:18:51.03\00:18:54.06
lose none and
keep disciple always...
00:18:54.10\00:18:56.23
I like that.
00:18:56.26\00:18:57.60
Yeah, yeah,
00:18:57.63\00:18:58.97
so they were so
excited and committed.
00:18:59.00\00:19:01.10
I think CA, I shared with
you just a few minutes ago
00:19:01.14\00:19:03.94
this Bible verse
before I mention the number
00:19:03.97\00:19:06.51
'cause you want me to mention
and it's here in Habakkuk.
00:19:06.54\00:19:08.84
Yes.
00:19:08.88\00:19:10.21
Habakkuk 1:5 and it says here,
00:19:10.25\00:19:12.21
"Look at the nations and watch
00:19:12.25\00:19:15.08
and be utterly astounded,
00:19:15.12\00:19:18.25
for I'm going to do
something in your days
00:19:18.29\00:19:20.62
that you will not
believe even if you were told."
00:19:20.66\00:19:23.02
Yes, yes.
00:19:23.06\00:19:24.39
Isn't that amazing? It is.
00:19:24.43\00:19:25.76
You wouldn't even
believe if God says
00:19:25.79\00:19:27.13
if I told you
it was gonna happen
00:19:27.16\00:19:28.50
in Rwanda at the end,
00:19:28.53\00:19:30.47
there were 100...
00:19:30.50\00:19:34.47
One hundred thousand
00:19:34.50\00:19:36.27
one hundred and
thirty five baptisms.
00:19:36.30\00:19:39.27
Praise the Lord. And
say that again slowly.
00:19:39.31\00:19:42.64
One hundred thousand
00:19:42.68\00:19:45.41
one hundred and
thirty five baptisms.
00:19:45.45\00:19:47.98
Over a hundred
thousand baptisms.
00:19:48.02\00:19:50.89
They were praying for 60,000,
00:19:50.92\00:19:53.12
they were praying for 60
00:19:53.15\00:19:55.42
and that was their goal
00:19:55.46\00:19:56.79
but others were praying
for a hundred thousand...
00:19:56.83\00:19:58.99
And for the church made,
00:19:59.03\00:20:00.36
actually the administrators
00:20:00.40\00:20:02.56
but church minister
saying no, a hundred thousand...
00:20:02.60\00:20:03.93
Hundred thousand...
00:20:03.97\00:20:05.30
They were praying
for a hundred thousand
00:20:05.33\00:20:06.67
and God honored there.
00:20:06.70\00:20:08.04
You know, we live in the
Congo next door for ten years.
00:20:08.07\00:20:11.31
And we've gone back to Rwanda
and had more and more meetings
00:20:11.34\00:20:13.88
at different times.
00:20:13.91\00:20:15.24
We've never seen
anything like these.
00:20:15.28\00:20:17.21
Never, never, never,
never even dreamed it.
00:20:17.25\00:20:19.05
Yes, yes. That's
what the text says.
00:20:19.08\00:20:21.28
Yeah, even if you're
told, you wouldn't believe it.
00:20:21.32\00:20:22.65
You wouldn't believe it.
00:20:22.68\00:20:24.02
My dear sister Nancy...
00:20:24.05\00:20:25.39
Yes.
00:20:25.42\00:20:26.76
And I'm encouraging
my wife to listen up
00:20:26.79\00:20:29.16
because here it comes,
00:20:29.19\00:20:30.53
but I'm told that
00:20:30.56\00:20:33.29
was this your first time doing
public evangelism as a speaker?
00:20:33.33\00:20:36.46
It was.
00:20:36.50\00:20:39.10
Give us a little
sense of your experience?
00:20:39.13\00:20:42.67
Well, I'll tell you
first that the only...
00:20:42.70\00:20:45.94
I've been asked to
do this numerous times
00:20:45.97\00:20:49.98
by other friends
who have done it,
00:20:50.01\00:20:53.55
and I just
thought, no, that's not me,
00:20:53.58\00:20:55.58
I'm there to support Ted.
00:20:55.62\00:20:57.59
And then I thought, well,
00:20:57.62\00:20:58.95
we're gonna be
out of the big city,
00:20:58.99\00:21:01.59
if I have a really small place,
00:21:01.62\00:21:03.43
this might be the
perfect time to start.
00:21:03.46\00:21:07.50
So, yeah, Duane,
00:21:07.53\00:21:11.17
he did me, he pulled one on me.
00:21:11.20\00:21:13.80
Anyway I told him, I said,
00:21:13.84\00:21:15.34
you give me the
smallest site out in the bush
00:21:15.37\00:21:19.74
and I'll do it.
00:21:19.77\00:21:21.74
So, when we
were driving up there
00:21:21.78\00:21:25.71
on the Friday
evening that it started
00:21:25.75\00:21:29.48
and it began to dawn on
me what a huge site it was,
00:21:29.52\00:21:35.46
I thought where can I run,
00:21:35.49\00:21:38.79
but there is no place to run
00:21:38.83\00:21:40.70
and I could not turn
around and walk away,
00:21:40.73\00:21:44.40
it was an
incredibly beautiful site,
00:21:44.43\00:21:47.04
it was outside,
00:21:47.07\00:21:48.50
like a huge amphitheatre
00:21:48.54\00:21:49.94
and there were
probably 3000 people there.
00:21:49.97\00:21:52.24
Oh, that's a nice
little intimate sight.
00:21:52.27\00:21:55.01
Yeah, I...
00:21:55.04\00:21:56.38
And Duane told me ahead of time,
00:21:56.41\00:21:58.51
he said now don't tell
Nancy because you know,
00:21:58.55\00:22:02.08
they're preparing a site
00:22:02.12\00:22:03.62
that's much larger
than what she intended,
00:22:03.65\00:22:07.36
and of course
when she got there,
00:22:07.39\00:22:09.09
she saw all these
thousands of people,
00:22:09.12\00:22:12.29
but I want to tell
you her life was impacted
00:22:12.33\00:22:16.13
and changed greatly
and she can share about it
00:22:16.16\00:22:19.03
because every time
you preach Gods' word
00:22:19.07\00:22:22.30
something
happens to your own heart
00:22:22.34\00:22:25.74
and you see the
Holy Spirit working
00:22:25.77\00:22:27.74
in the lives of people
00:22:27.78\00:22:29.38
and hundreds of
people were touched through
00:22:29.41\00:22:33.28
Nancy's preaching of the
word but I'm telling the story,
00:22:33.31\00:22:36.35
she needs to tell.
00:22:36.38\00:22:37.72
Well, I did not know
until a few weeks ago
00:22:37.75\00:22:40.76
that Ted knew ahead of time
00:22:40.79\00:22:42.86
what I was in gonna
be facing so anyway.
00:22:42.89\00:22:48.56
But he didn't...
We worked that out.
00:22:48.60\00:22:49.93
We worked it out, yeah.
00:22:49.96\00:22:51.30
Anyway, I'm here to tell you
00:22:51.33\00:22:55.57
that it was just an
incredible experience
00:22:55.60\00:22:59.77
and I can say that I
had nothing to do with it,
00:22:59.81\00:23:02.44
it was all the Holy Spirit.
00:23:02.48\00:23:03.95
Praise God.
00:23:03.98\00:23:05.31
I was, I was in
awe of what God did
00:23:05.35\00:23:11.59
because I could see
the responses of the people
00:23:11.62\00:23:16.29
night after night, after night,
00:23:16.32\00:23:18.59
and there were nights
where I felt very clumsy,
00:23:18.63\00:23:21.56
I felt like, oh, it
didn't go over well,
00:23:21.60\00:23:24.47
but you now the Lord,
00:23:24.50\00:23:25.83
the Holy Spirit touched my words
00:23:25.87\00:23:29.40
and made them
resonate with the people
00:23:29.44\00:23:31.87
and I...
00:23:31.91\00:23:34.14
It was an incredible experience,
00:23:34.18\00:23:35.91
it was marvelous and
I've always loved to study
00:23:35.94\00:23:39.15
my Bible and the
Spirit of Prophecy
00:23:39.18\00:23:40.98
but I'm here to tell you that
there is something so different
00:23:41.02\00:23:45.42
when you're preaching
the biblical message yourself
00:23:45.45\00:23:51.09
and the beauty of it, the...
00:23:51.13\00:23:55.50
really the simplicity...
00:23:55.53\00:23:57.37
And the cohesiveness.
00:23:57.40\00:23:58.73
The cohesiveness
of it but the depth,
00:23:58.77\00:24:01.07
it just thrilled me.
00:24:01.10\00:24:03.07
And I was in
awe of what God did,
00:24:03.10\00:24:06.47
and a beauty of our
message just overwhelmed me
00:24:06.51\00:24:10.58
and it was such a
privilege to be a part of
00:24:10.61\00:24:14.25
and to see what the
Holy Spirit was doing
00:24:14.28\00:24:16.38
and I felt like
such an awkward vessel
00:24:16.42\00:24:19.85
and to see what God did
inspite of my inexperience.
00:24:19.89\00:24:25.49
I know it was him so I...
00:24:25.53\00:24:27.76
It was, it was marvelous,
00:24:27.80\00:24:30.97
especially to
see those dear, dear,
00:24:31.00\00:24:33.23
people walk into
that lake for baptism.
00:24:33.27\00:24:38.61
Some of them with tears
running down their face,
00:24:38.64\00:24:40.54
it was just thrilling.
00:24:40.58\00:24:42.54
In her, on her
site or in her site
00:24:42.58\00:24:46.92
there were over 500 people
who responded and were baptized
00:24:46.95\00:24:52.39
because of that
series of meetings
00:24:52.42\00:24:54.76
and that's something
that you can never replace
00:24:54.79\00:24:59.29
that beautiful
experience with anything else,
00:24:59.33\00:25:01.96
it's just a thrilling thing.
00:25:02.00\00:25:04.10
And of course
the same with my site
00:25:04.13\00:25:05.83
and with all the
other 2225 sites,
00:25:05.87\00:25:10.21
we were only two
of over 2000 sites,
00:25:10.24\00:25:13.11
it was just
absolutely magnificent.
00:25:13.14\00:25:15.58
Let me tell you one thing,
00:25:15.61\00:25:17.15
one thing that gave
me great reassurance
00:25:17.18\00:25:20.62
and comfort was knowing
00:25:20.65\00:25:23.28
that those
people were embracing,
00:25:23.32\00:25:26.69
they were
nurturing those new converts,
00:25:26.72\00:25:28.92
they were not going
to just let them go,
00:25:28.96\00:25:31.69
they surrounded them,
00:25:31.73\00:25:33.06
they're going to
continue studying with them.
00:25:33.09\00:25:36.30
It was just the beginning
of their Christian walk
00:25:36.33\00:25:39.07
and those people
have been trained
00:25:39.10\00:25:44.14
and it's a way of life,
00:25:44.17\00:25:46.27
they take those
people under their wings
00:25:46.31\00:25:49.68
and nurture them along.
00:25:49.71\00:25:51.38
They're not lost
sight of, lost sight of,
00:25:51.41\00:25:54.32
so that, that
gave me reassurance
00:25:54.35\00:25:58.75
that they were in good hands.
00:25:58.79\00:26:00.56
If I can just add, anybody
00:26:00.59\00:26:03.29
who has a willingness to
allow the Lord to use them,
00:26:03.32\00:26:07.96
a humble willingness
and are able to read,
00:26:08.00\00:26:12.33
you can preach an
evangelistic series.
00:26:12.37\00:26:15.10
The technology that we have
00:26:15.14\00:26:16.87
and I'm sure Duane
and Kathy will share it.
00:26:16.91\00:26:18.94
And let me just say how much
we appreciate Duane and Kathy
00:26:18.97\00:26:23.24
and what they have done to spur
00:26:23.28\00:26:26.18
Total Member
Involvement activity
00:26:26.21\00:26:28.72
all over the world
00:26:28.75\00:26:30.29
and the enormous amount of time
00:26:30.32\00:26:32.12
that they put
into helping organize
00:26:32.15\00:26:35.49
and facilitating
people to be involved,
00:26:35.52\00:26:37.93
but Duane will
probably share with you.
00:26:37.96\00:26:40.73
We have computer
programming that is so simple,
00:26:40.76\00:26:44.93
putting up beautiful graphics
on a screen that people see,
00:26:44.97\00:26:48.40
Bible text, and then the
actual script of the sermon
00:26:48.44\00:26:52.57
which can be adjusted.
00:26:52.61\00:26:54.18
A person can stylize
it to their own liking
00:26:54.21\00:26:59.11
but its easy to
preach these sermons
00:26:59.15\00:27:03.22
and the effect is so powerful
00:27:03.25\00:27:05.49
because the
Holy Sprit is working
00:27:05.52\00:27:08.36
through humble people
willing to be used by the Lord.
00:27:08.39\00:27:12.09
Amen. Powerful.
00:27:12.13\00:27:13.83
I've got to ask you,
just a couple of questions
00:27:13.86\00:27:16.33
before we let you go with.
00:27:16.36\00:27:17.70
We know your
schedule is busy, one,
00:27:17.73\00:27:20.80
I wanted to ask Nancy,
was there anything particular,
00:27:20.84\00:27:23.24
a particular story
that stood out in your mind,
00:27:23.27\00:27:26.37
an incident or an individual
00:27:26.41\00:27:27.94
that sort of came to
the fore in your memory,
00:27:27.98\00:27:30.18
and then a second one
is a little bit of a dig.
00:27:30.21\00:27:33.35
I want to know
did you study yourself
00:27:33.38\00:27:35.08
or did you lean
on the elder at all,
00:27:35.12\00:27:36.75
or it was just sort
of you and the Lord?
00:27:36.79\00:27:39.99
No, I did it on my own,
00:27:40.02\00:27:43.66
I would go over and I
would preach in my room and...
00:27:43.69\00:27:49.80
he may have
overheard me a time or two,
00:27:49.83\00:27:51.93
but I had to know it for myself.
00:27:51.97\00:27:53.74
Praise the Lord.
00:27:53.77\00:27:55.14
And be comfortable with that but
00:27:55.17\00:27:58.91
because with the
way my site was set up
00:27:58.94\00:28:00.94
that people were probably about
00:28:00.98\00:28:04.81
at least 50 feet
from where I was,
00:28:04.85\00:28:07.48
and so I could look out
and recognize some people
00:28:07.52\00:28:11.59
but it was, it was difficult
on the day of the baptism
00:28:11.62\00:28:15.49
initially to spot
where're my people I thought,
00:28:15.52\00:28:18.73
where're my people,
00:28:18.76\00:28:20.10
but there was a little old lady,
00:28:20.13\00:28:22.43
who was very bent over
and she walked with a stick
00:28:22.46\00:28:25.97
and I would try as I
was leaving the site,
00:28:26.00\00:28:30.14
I would turn my, my
flash light on my phone,
00:28:30.17\00:28:34.74
and help her to see the pathway
00:28:34.78\00:28:37.48
because it was
dark and they were,
00:28:37.51\00:28:39.11
you know, it was,
it was out in nature.
00:28:39.15\00:28:41.98
We did have a full
moon during that time
00:28:42.02\00:28:44.12
but anyway I was looking,
looking, looking for my group,
00:28:44.15\00:28:49.19
and then I saw this
lady and I went over
00:28:49.22\00:28:54.06
and I just hugged her,
00:28:54.10\00:28:56.80
and Martha was her name.
00:28:56.83\00:28:58.70
She had accepted
this message years ago
00:28:58.73\00:29:02.20
and had wandered away,
00:29:02.24\00:29:04.67
and she had been
convicted, reconvicted
00:29:04.71\00:29:07.68
and had wanted to renew
that conviction publicly,
00:29:07.71\00:29:12.48
and it just thrilled my heart.
00:29:12.51\00:29:15.92
You know, there were
so many different stories
00:29:15.95\00:29:17.65
but that was one
00:29:17.69\00:29:21.29
that was just
very exciting for me
00:29:21.32\00:29:23.16
and to see, you know,
00:29:23.19\00:29:24.53
I was thinking she is very frail
00:29:24.56\00:29:26.56
and very old and I thought
00:29:26.59\00:29:29.83
to brave the waves of Lake Kivu,
00:29:29.86\00:29:36.14
I though was, was
really something I thought,
00:29:36.17\00:29:38.81
you know, she could have
come in by profession of faith
00:29:38.84\00:29:41.14
but she wanted to
be baptized again.
00:29:41.18\00:29:42.88
Praise the
Lord. Praise the Lord.
00:29:42.91\00:29:44.25
So it really touched my heart.
00:29:44.28\00:29:45.61
Amen.
00:29:45.65\00:29:46.98
Duane, I want to
get to this video
00:29:47.02\00:29:48.35
before our time
slips away from us
00:29:48.38\00:29:49.72
because it kind of
gives a little overview,
00:29:49.75\00:29:51.12
then we've got some pictures
00:29:51.15\00:29:52.49
and then I want
you to walk us through
00:29:52.52\00:29:54.86
and sort of
elaborate on something
00:29:54.89\00:29:56.22
that Elder Wilson said
that anybody can do this,
00:29:56.26\00:29:58.59
they just have a willing heart,
00:29:58.63\00:30:00.00
you don't need a
particular training
00:30:00.03\00:30:01.53
because
technology will take over,
00:30:01.56\00:30:03.00
but let's go to
that video just now
00:30:03.03\00:30:04.70
that Duane
McKey brought with him
00:30:04.73\00:30:07.27
and kind of gives
you a little overview
00:30:07.30\00:30:08.74
of what we've
been talking about.
00:30:08.77\00:30:10.11
In the very heart of Africa
lies the nation of Rwanda.
00:30:17.45\00:30:24.05
Despite a darkened past,
00:30:24.09\00:30:27.06
a new light is
beginning to dawn over this land
00:30:27.09\00:30:29.49
of a thousand hills.
00:30:29.52\00:30:30.93
It's a bold new initiative
00:30:30.96\00:30:32.49
of the
Seventh-day Adventist church
00:30:32.53\00:30:34.26
is being implemented
in unprecedented ways.
00:30:34.30\00:30:38.93
This is the story of
Total Member Involvement.
00:30:38.97\00:30:42.94
In a country ravaged
by pain a few years ago,
00:30:58.82\00:31:01.62
the Seventh-day Adventist
church is bringing hope.
00:31:01.66\00:31:03.93
This is one of the
most exciting events
00:31:03.96\00:31:06.73
that I've attended.
00:31:06.76\00:31:08.10
East Africa is
excited about TMI.
00:31:08.13\00:31:11.77
Here in Rwanda we
are witnessing something
00:31:11.80\00:31:13.77
that is unprecedented
in the Adventist church.
00:31:13.80\00:31:17.21
In this whole
country people feel
00:31:17.24\00:31:19.41
that God is out
for something huge.
00:31:19.44\00:31:23.28
This is Total
Member Involvement.
00:31:23.31\00:31:25.31
Two thousand years ago
Jesus launched a program
00:31:45.63\00:31:49.00
actually it's a great commission
00:31:49.04\00:31:50.54
and we all know it Mathew 28,
00:31:50.57\00:31:52.27
go and preach, and
teach and baptizing disciple,
00:31:52.31\00:31:55.21
and because at
that great commission
00:31:55.24\00:31:56.81
we're all excited and
interested here on Rwanda
00:31:56.85\00:31:59.25
about Total Member Involvement.
00:31:59.28\00:32:00.88
We've seen church members
00:32:00.92\00:32:02.82
take off with
these in incredible idea
00:32:02.85\00:32:05.75
of Total Member Involvement.
00:32:05.79\00:32:07.29
They've gotten so
involved themselves,
00:32:07.32\00:32:09.09
they've given cows away,
they're giving goats away,
00:32:09.12\00:32:11.36
they're giving sheep away.
00:32:11.39\00:32:12.73
Literature
distribution, Bible studies,
00:32:12.76\00:32:15.26
health outreach
community services.
00:32:15.30\00:32:19.17
They made banners, scarves,
00:32:19.20\00:32:21.37
t-shirts, all kinds
of things to promote TMI.
00:32:21.40\00:32:25.37
The people who are members here
00:32:25.41\00:32:27.61
take the time to
invite their friends,
00:32:27.64\00:32:30.48
the church leaders
follow up with the people
00:32:30.51\00:32:33.08
to make sure they're
ready to be baptized.
00:32:33.11\00:32:35.72
So it's really a team effort.
00:32:35.75\00:32:40.02
Not only are the
Rwandans involved in doing TMI
00:32:40.06\00:32:43.06
but the General
Conference staff is excited
00:32:43.09\00:32:45.09
and interested
to be involved here
00:32:45.13\00:32:47.03
and model what
we're talking about
00:32:47.06\00:32:49.43
back in Silver
Springs, Maryland.
00:32:49.46\00:32:52.67
The Lord wants to use everyone,
00:32:52.70\00:32:54.64
pastors, lay people,
everyone in this great effort.
00:32:54.67\00:32:58.54
Church members
have been energized
00:33:04.61\00:33:06.18
as they're taking
ASI new beginning sermons
00:33:06.21\00:33:08.82
and preaching
and they're excited
00:33:08.85\00:33:10.89
about reaching
friends and neighbor for Jesus
00:33:10.92\00:33:12.82
and bringing them to
some of the TMI meetings.
00:33:12.85\00:33:15.96
For a long time
the work has been
00:33:15.99\00:33:17.46
in the hands of the pastors
00:33:17.49\00:33:19.53
and the lay people have
been spectating by and large.
00:33:19.56\00:33:23.70
But now everybody
has a role to play,
00:33:23.73\00:33:27.74
everybody has
somebody they can reach.
00:33:27.77\00:33:30.74
Every church member
now has understood that
00:33:30.77\00:33:33.51
wherever he is he'll
be trying to reach one
00:33:33.54\00:33:36.28
and bring you one.
00:33:36.31\00:33:37.65
There are over
2200 evangelistic sites
00:33:41.15\00:33:44.85
here in this beautiful
but small country of Rwanda.
00:33:44.89\00:33:48.59
And we're only two
00:33:48.62\00:33:50.76
of those two
thousand plus sites.
00:33:50.79\00:33:55.13
A few of those
sights have young people
00:33:55.16\00:33:58.20
from the United
States, people from Europe.
00:33:58.23\00:34:02.80
I've 12 years old and
I preach here in Rwanda.
00:34:02.84\00:34:06.47
I was so excited
when I made my first call
00:34:06.51\00:34:09.44
and hundreds of
people came forward,
00:34:09.48\00:34:11.45
it was very exciting.
00:34:11.48\00:34:14.18
This is my first time preaching,
00:34:14.22\00:34:17.22
doing anything like these.
00:34:17.25\00:34:19.55
It is the most
fulfilling experience
00:34:19.59\00:34:21.69
that I've ever I had.
00:34:21.72\00:34:23.96
I rely on God but here
you really like rely on God
00:34:23.99\00:34:27.23
to speak through you, to use you
00:34:27.26\00:34:29.20
in any way
possible and its limitless
00:34:29.23\00:34:31.93
what he can do
with the willing soul.
00:34:31.97\00:34:33.44
Before I came on
this mission trip,
00:34:36.91\00:34:39.37
I was feeling
very cold spiritually,
00:34:39.41\00:34:41.94
it's like, okay, is
these all to Christianity.
00:34:41.98\00:34:45.18
But the first night
00:34:45.21\00:34:47.22
I saw that God had a
purpose on why I was there,
00:34:47.25\00:34:51.02
God has really
shown his love to me.
00:34:51.05\00:34:53.92
I've seen that He is real
00:34:53.96\00:34:55.92
because you see Him moving
in the hearts of other people.
00:34:55.96\00:34:59.36
And when you see the changes
00:34:59.39\00:35:01.16
that are
happening in their lives,
00:35:01.20\00:35:02.80
you can't doubt that he
can do the same for you.
00:35:02.83\00:35:06.87
Every night thousands of people
00:35:06.90\00:35:09.04
are making decisions for Christ.
00:35:09.07\00:35:11.54
These wonderful people
are ready to be baptized
00:35:11.57\00:35:14.88
and to join this
great advent movement.
00:35:14.91\00:35:18.91
What we're witnessing right here
00:35:18.95\00:35:20.55
on the shores of Lake Kivu
00:35:20.58\00:35:22.65
is representative
of what is happening
00:35:22.68\00:35:24.92
all the across this country.
00:35:24.95\00:35:28.49
A hundred thousand baptisms,
00:35:28.52\00:35:30.89
the most has ever happened
00:35:30.93\00:35:32.26
in the history of
the Adventist church.
00:35:32.29\00:35:33.63
And the exciting thing is
this is only the beginning.
00:35:33.66\00:35:38.60
This program is
going to continue
00:35:38.63\00:35:41.97
until Jesus will come again.
00:35:42.00\00:35:45.21
This is so exciting
00:35:45.24\00:35:46.57
what has
happened here in Rwanda,
00:35:46.61\00:35:48.01
but this is a model
for the world church.
00:35:48.04\00:35:49.61
We don't want to end here,
00:35:49.64\00:35:50.98
it's up to you to make it happen
00:35:51.01\00:35:52.35
and your local church,
00:35:52.38\00:35:53.72
your local
community, and your conference.
00:35:53.75\00:35:56.42
You don't have to
do some grand thing
00:35:56.45\00:35:58.59
to be involved in TMI.
00:35:58.62\00:36:00.66
It should be part
of your every day life.
00:36:00.69\00:36:04.59
All of us have
been given opportunities
00:36:04.63\00:36:07.26
and we need to do what
God has called us to do
00:36:07.30\00:36:10.67
to fulfill the mission
00:36:10.70\00:36:12.40
that he has given
to each one of us.
00:36:12.43\00:36:16.54
What a time to be alive,
00:36:16.57\00:36:18.97
what a time to be part
of Total Member Involvement.
00:36:19.01\00:36:23.08
God bless each on of you
00:36:23.11\00:36:24.75
as you engaged with heaven
00:36:24.78\00:36:27.15
and the power that
the Lord will give you
00:36:27.18\00:36:29.65
to carry this message to
the very ends of this earth.
00:36:29.68\00:36:33.25
Power and beautiful.
00:36:36.49\00:36:38.19
Elder Wilson,
sister Nancy Wilson,
00:36:38.23\00:36:39.86
thank you so very much
for taking a little time
00:36:39.89\00:36:41.93
out of your
scheduled to be with us
00:36:41.96\00:36:43.73
and to give us such
positive reports on TMI
00:36:43.77\00:36:47.80
and the work in Rwanda.
00:36:47.84\00:36:49.97
Thank you, Nancy.
00:36:50.01\00:36:51.34
It's been a
great, great privilege.
00:36:51.37\00:36:54.21
Yeah now, now Irma will
hold the meeting I'm sure.
00:36:54.24\00:36:59.98
Nancy, you've encouraged me.
00:37:00.02\00:37:03.49
You know, you will be so
thankful that you did it.
00:37:03.52\00:37:07.69
Yes, I think so.
00:37:07.72\00:37:10.06
So we'll see you in Romania.
00:37:10.09\00:37:12.39
Okay.
00:37:12.43\00:37:14.00
If we can work that
out, we surely will.
00:37:14.03\00:37:15.60
Thank you so very much
and God bless you both.
00:37:15.63\00:37:18.07
And thank you, CA, for
giving such a highlight
00:37:18.10\00:37:21.74
Total Member Involvement
00:37:21.77\00:37:23.14
and having
Duane and Kathy there.
00:37:23.17\00:37:25.47
We just are so grateful
for what the viewers of 3ABN
00:37:25.51\00:37:30.65
will do in terms of
praying and supporting
00:37:30.68\00:37:33.15
God's precious
work all over the world.
00:37:33.18\00:37:35.48
Amen, and we pray for
you and your wife constantly.
00:37:35.52\00:37:37.92
Danny said to remind you,
00:37:37.95\00:37:39.69
he is praying
for you constantly,
00:37:39.72\00:37:41.19
we all here at
3ABN support your work,
00:37:41.22\00:37:43.19
support what you're doing
00:37:43.22\00:37:44.56
and we know that
you're just being a blessing
00:37:44.59\00:37:46.70
to the whole church
and to TMI in particular.
00:37:46.73\00:37:49.90
Thank you. God bless.
00:37:49.93\00:37:52.27
Great.
00:37:52.30\00:37:54.14
Duane, this is
exciting stuff, man.
00:37:54.17\00:37:55.70
It is really.
00:37:55.74\00:37:57.07
And it really, really is,
00:37:57.11\00:37:58.44
and there is an
addictive quality
00:37:58.47\00:37:59.81
as you well know,
00:37:59.84\00:38:01.18
to once you start
seeing souls going down,
00:38:01.21\00:38:02.54
you kind of get
addicted to that kind of thing.
00:38:02.58\00:38:04.18
You know, Total
Member Involvement
00:38:04.21\00:38:05.55
like we said
everybody can do something.
00:38:05.58\00:38:08.38
It's all special,
the pathways to health,
00:38:08.42\00:38:10.39
the health events,
00:38:10.42\00:38:12.55
Kirk Johnson training
people to give Bible studies
00:38:12.59\00:38:14.72
in Rwanda and other places.
00:38:14.76\00:38:16.09
Everybody can be
involved in doing something.
00:38:16.12\00:38:17.96
Preaching is
the mean itself Irma
00:38:17.99\00:38:21.03
is there is something you know,
00:38:21.06\00:38:23.73
when Peter
jumped out of the boat,
00:38:23.77\00:38:25.10
he's gonna walk on the water.
00:38:25.13\00:38:26.47
Oh, yes. And we start to sink.
00:38:26.50\00:38:27.84
When we used our natural talents
00:38:27.87\00:38:29.74
that God has given us,
00:38:29.77\00:38:31.17
we don't really need a
lot of extra help from God,
00:38:31.21\00:38:34.34
'cause He's already given to us,
00:38:34.38\00:38:35.74
but when we get
out of the boat...
00:38:35.78\00:38:37.11
Yeah.
00:38:37.15\00:38:38.48
We start to sink,
that's when we say God help me,
00:38:38.51\00:38:41.12
and that's what Nancy experience
00:38:41.15\00:38:42.92
and that's what Kathy experience
00:38:42.95\00:38:44.32
in her first time
00:38:44.35\00:38:45.69
when she preached in Kenya,
but it's just a special thing.
00:38:45.72\00:38:48.92
Kathy and I had
the opportunity to help
00:38:48.96\00:38:51.06
about 3000 people
around the world in America
00:38:51.09\00:38:53.86
and around the world
do meetings like these,
00:38:53.90\00:38:56.26
and we've seen it
time and time again.
00:38:56.30\00:38:58.53
It's right. Yeah.
00:38:58.57\00:38:59.90
So, Kathy, you've
done this yourself,
00:38:59.93\00:39:01.27
this is not theory for you,
this is something you've done.
00:39:01.30\00:39:02.64
No, it's not theory.
00:39:02.67\00:39:04.57
You know, I had an experience
very similar to Nancy's
00:39:04.61\00:39:09.34
and I was always
behind the scenes
00:39:09.38\00:39:12.01
praying for Duane
00:39:12.05\00:39:13.42
as he would be upfront preaching
00:39:13.45\00:39:15.88
or whatever he did,
00:39:15.92\00:39:17.85
but I would
never get up in front.
00:39:17.89\00:39:20.79
I mean don't ask
me to get up in front
00:39:20.82\00:39:23.36
but then when
Duane was president
00:39:23.39\00:39:25.56
of the Arizona Conference,
00:39:25.59\00:39:28.10
there was a gentlemen
Elder Robert Folkenberg
00:39:28.13\00:39:30.87
that had come for
the evangelism hour
00:39:30.90\00:39:33.37
on Sabbath afternoon.
00:39:33.40\00:39:35.54
And he made a call
00:39:35.57\00:39:37.34
for those that wanted to
be involved in evangelism
00:39:37.37\00:39:40.41
to come forward
and I went forward
00:39:40.44\00:39:43.11
and afterwards I
said, what have I done.
00:39:43.14\00:39:45.38
I mean I had such
butterflies in my stomach
00:39:45.41\00:39:49.22
but you know I began to pray
00:39:49.25\00:39:51.15
for the outpouring of
the Holy Sprit upon myself.
00:39:51.19\00:39:54.86
I knew I have a translator.
00:39:54.89\00:39:56.93
I didn't know
where I'd be going,
00:39:56.96\00:39:58.96
but and I thought you know,
00:39:58.99\00:40:01.06
how the devil put
these thoughts in your minds.
00:40:01.10\00:40:03.53
Maybe I won't
ever have to do these
00:40:03.57\00:40:06.94
but, then I kept
praying and praying
00:40:06.97\00:40:10.01
for the
outpouring of the Holy Spirit
00:40:10.04\00:40:11.74
upon my the
translator, upon the church
00:40:11.77\00:40:14.04
where I'd be going, community,
00:40:14.08\00:40:16.58
and when I went,
it was so amazing
00:40:16.61\00:40:21.28
because I said to God,
00:40:21.32\00:40:26.45
God you're so amazing to give us
00:40:26.49\00:40:29.56
the privilege of
sharing Your message
00:40:29.59\00:40:33.19
and the first Friday night,
when I stood up to preach,
00:40:33.23\00:40:37.50
I wasn't even one bit
scared which I was shocked,
00:40:37.53\00:40:41.97
but I want to share with you
00:40:42.00\00:40:43.51
after I started praying
about two months into it,
00:40:43.54\00:40:48.14
the Lord spoke to me
not audibly but you know
00:40:48.18\00:40:50.48
how the Lord speak to
you and he said, Kathy,
00:40:50.51\00:40:53.82
it's not about
you, it's about me.
00:40:53.85\00:40:55.78
Amen.
00:40:55.82\00:40:57.15
And when I figured that out
00:40:57.19\00:40:59.05
that God was going to
make up for whatever I lacked,
00:40:59.09\00:41:03.99
it just put me at such peace
00:41:04.03\00:41:06.46
and it changed my life,
I've never been the same.
00:41:06.49\00:41:08.93
Amen.
00:41:08.96\00:41:10.30
So, I want to challenge you Irma
00:41:10.33\00:41:11.67
come to Romania.
00:41:11.70\00:41:14.27
You know, Nancy, I'm
the same way Kathy, Nancy,
00:41:14.30\00:41:19.54
that I'd always
rather be in the back
00:41:19.57\00:41:24.11
in helping and I'm
willing to do whatever
00:41:24.15\00:41:28.58
but never out front
00:41:28.62\00:41:30.89
and specially when my
husband I could never match him,
00:41:30.92\00:41:35.89
but every time I
go places with him
00:41:35.92\00:41:38.99
when he is busy in his
preaching and all that,
00:41:39.03\00:41:43.26
I do pray for him
and I support him,
00:41:43.30\00:41:46.23
but I always
have this little voice
00:41:46.27\00:41:48.14
that always tell me
that I could do more
00:41:48.17\00:41:51.14
that I just
feel like I'm sitting
00:41:51.17\00:41:54.08
and I enjoying the blessings
00:41:54.11\00:41:57.21
but I'm not supporting too much,
00:41:57.25\00:41:59.38
and the Lord is always
putting that in my mind
00:41:59.41\00:42:02.18
and this encouraged me
when we went to Philippines,
00:42:02.22\00:42:08.22
it really gave me a
good encouragement too.
00:42:08.26\00:42:13.13
I said, perhaps I
can do these to myself,
00:42:13.16\00:42:15.90
and I told the
Lord, I says well,
00:42:15.93\00:42:20.04
when you're
ready to put me there,
00:42:20.07\00:42:22.64
you know, I'll be ready
00:42:22.67\00:42:24.67
and will trust you
00:42:24.71\00:42:26.88
because it is wonderful
to see how the Lord works
00:42:26.91\00:42:30.41
and all those baptisms
00:42:30.45\00:42:33.01
and we went in the little church
00:42:33.05\00:42:34.85
that we were.
00:42:34.88\00:42:36.22
It was a great blessing
00:42:36.25\00:42:38.19
to be able to help
and encourage the members
00:42:38.22\00:42:41.76
and talk on
counseling sometimes,
00:42:41.79\00:42:44.19
they came to ask me questions
00:42:44.23\00:42:45.79
and it was really to me
was a gruff spiritually,
00:42:45.83\00:42:51.17
and so I believe
all that experiences
00:42:51.20\00:42:54.90
that you're having Nancy also
00:42:54.94\00:42:58.71
putting in the word itself.
00:42:58.74\00:43:02.14
And we are under no obligation
00:43:02.18\00:43:05.25
following the lead of
Elder and sister Wilson,
00:43:05.28\00:43:07.12
and Duane and Kathy McKey
00:43:07.15\00:43:08.85
to tell you how
big or how small.
00:43:08.88\00:43:11.85
Would she say yes? Say yes.
00:43:11.89\00:43:13.22
That will be surprise, ah.
00:43:13.25\00:43:14.82
Lord will take care of it.
00:43:14.86\00:43:16.32
Kathy's first meeting in Kenya,
00:43:16.36\00:43:18.83
you mentioned that you
couldn't do what CA does,
00:43:18.86\00:43:21.16
but just listen to these.
00:43:21.20\00:43:22.53
Kathy preached her
series is what the last Sabbath,
00:43:22.56\00:43:25.43
there are 5,000 people there.
00:43:25.47\00:43:26.87
Wow. Yeah, wow.
00:43:26.90\00:43:28.60
So, and so, she said, Duane,
I'm so tired, I'll preach,
00:43:28.64\00:43:31.61
you preach Sabbath morning
00:43:31.64\00:43:32.97
and make a call
and we had a baptism.
00:43:33.01\00:43:35.01
And so I
preached Sabbath morning.
00:43:35.04\00:43:36.48
Now this,
00:43:36.51\00:43:37.85
this is the first
time they've seen me,
00:43:37.88\00:43:39.21
they know Kathy, she's
out there talking to them
00:43:39.25\00:43:40.58
and praying with them
every night and they know her.
00:43:40.62\00:43:43.22
And so I made her, I
called at the end of my sermon
00:43:43.25\00:43:45.89
and I preached my
heart out and I make a call
00:43:45.92\00:43:48.39
and I'm asking
people to come forward
00:43:48.42\00:43:50.03
to make a decision
to be baptized etc, etc,
00:43:50.06\00:43:53.96
they to sit there, did not move,
00:43:54.00\00:43:56.77
Kathy came over and
took the microphone from me..
00:43:56.80\00:43:58.83
All right.
00:43:58.87\00:44:00.20
And started making an appeal
00:44:00.24\00:44:02.14
and all these
people almost 200 people
00:44:02.17\00:44:04.61
came forward and were baptized.
00:44:04.64\00:44:06.64
Praise the Lord.
00:44:06.68\00:44:08.01
Because they knew her.
00:44:08.04\00:44:09.38
It's amazing.
00:44:09.41\00:44:10.75
We've got some pictures
00:44:10.78\00:44:12.11
and then I want
you to make your pitch
00:44:12.15\00:44:13.48
because we need some people,
00:44:13.52\00:44:14.85
you got Romania and Elder Wilson
00:44:14.88\00:44:16.22
a number of places but
we've got some pictures.
00:44:16.25\00:44:18.12
Let's took some of
those and we make a pitch.
00:44:18.15\00:44:19.49
Okay, good. Yeah.
00:44:19.52\00:44:22.42
Beautiful faces.
00:44:22.46\00:44:23.79
These are beautiful faces,
00:44:23.83\00:44:25.16
there's a young
lady Kaylone is her name.
00:44:25.19\00:44:26.53
Yes, Kaylone Chamberlain
from Portland, Oregon.
00:44:26.56\00:44:29.56
This is her first time to preach
00:44:29.60\00:44:30.93
and they're
starting at sixteen year old.
00:44:30.97\00:44:32.83
Oh, bless her heart. Yeah.
00:44:32.87\00:44:34.20
So, you got a lot of
young people on these.
00:44:34.24\00:44:35.67
Oh, yes, yes, yes. Yes.
00:44:35.70\00:44:37.77
Two young ladies
from Oregon as well.
00:44:37.81\00:44:39.24
Right Mandy
Corwin and Camey Ootman,
00:44:39.27\00:44:42.51
they're both from Salem, Oregon.
00:44:42.54\00:44:44.05
Bless your heart.
00:44:44.08\00:44:45.41
You've got those names
right at the ready, excellent.
00:44:45.45\00:44:48.42
And this is a special dedication
00:44:48.45\00:44:50.32
where they gave cows away,
00:44:50.35\00:44:51.69
we've shown you just a
few minutes actually cows.
00:44:51.72\00:44:53.76
It's a exciting
experience, I preached on a,
00:44:53.79\00:44:56.96
at a church service there,
00:44:56.99\00:44:58.33
in Gisenyi where Terrace
gonna have his meetings before,
00:44:58.36\00:45:00.63
and the elder came
at to me, he said to me,
00:45:00.66\00:45:02.00
I'm gonna give a cow.
00:45:02.03\00:45:03.37
I said what?
00:45:03.40\00:45:04.73
He said I'm going to give a cow,
00:45:04.77\00:45:06.13
I said what?
00:45:06.17\00:45:07.50
I'm gonna give a cow,
00:45:07.54\00:45:08.87
I had no idea what
he is talking about.
00:45:08.90\00:45:10.24
I looked at the
list on TMI things
00:45:10.27\00:45:12.04
that you can do
00:45:12.07\00:45:13.41
and they put as
a top of the list,
00:45:13.44\00:45:14.78
give a cow to a poor family.
00:45:14.81\00:45:16.34
Oh, my soul.
00:45:16.38\00:45:17.91
Yeah, give a cow
00:45:17.95\00:45:19.81
and they gave
cows to poor families,
00:45:19.85\00:45:22.18
they gave
almost a thousand sheep
00:45:22.22\00:45:23.55
and goats to poor families,
00:45:23.59\00:45:24.92
they built houses and gave them,
00:45:24.95\00:45:26.29
they gave insurance cards
for the year to poor family.
00:45:26.32\00:45:28.26
Those are major sacrifices,
it's not a little deal.
00:45:28.29\00:45:30.49
No, no, no.
00:45:30.53\00:45:31.86
You know, we have
a huge church there,
00:45:31.89\00:45:33.23
we've 750,000 members.
00:45:33.26\00:45:35.16
Well, now we have
more. We've 850,000 members.
00:45:35.20\00:45:38.73
Praise the Lord.
00:45:38.77\00:45:40.10
So, if you had a
hundred thousand people
00:45:40.14\00:45:41.87
baptized in a conference union
00:45:41.90\00:45:45.04
that had 10,000
members, that would be terrible,
00:45:45.07\00:45:47.28
I mean how do
you organize that...
00:45:47.31\00:45:48.64
Right, right.
00:45:48.68\00:45:50.01
But they can handle it you know,
00:45:50.05\00:45:51.38
there're prepared for it.
00:45:51.41\00:45:52.75
They had the people,
they had the VOP lessons
00:45:52.78\00:45:54.22
they're doing and etc,
00:45:54.25\00:45:55.65
and Kirk Johnson
is training them well,
00:45:55.68\00:45:57.09
and so they're
going in the small groups
00:45:57.12\00:45:59.02
and they'll built new churches.
00:45:59.05\00:46:00.39
By the way, they
do need churches.
00:46:00.42\00:46:03.29
Well, I'd think, yeah, yeah.
00:46:03.32\00:46:04.66
They need churches
and I worked with ASI
00:46:04.69\00:46:08.56
and Garwin McNeilus
00:46:08.60\00:46:10.20
and we can send over
containers of churches,
00:46:10.23\00:46:11.93
the churches cost about...
00:46:11.97\00:46:14.80
Three thousand dollars.
00:46:14.84\00:46:16.17
Three thousand dollars a piece.
00:46:16.20\00:46:17.54
We can do a finished church
for them in Rwanda for $3,000.
00:46:17.57\00:46:20.81
Three thousand dollars
00:46:20.84\00:46:22.18
Right, the sides and everything.
00:46:22.21\00:46:23.55
And they can send
it to 3ABN mark it
00:46:23.58\00:46:26.72
Rwanda churches
00:46:26.75\00:46:28.08
or on the
website TMI.Advenist.org.
00:46:28.12\00:46:31.72
Okay, say that again slowly.
00:46:31.75\00:46:33.09
TMI Total Member
Involvement, TMI.Adeventsit.org,
00:46:33.12\00:46:39.29
and you can put on
the side the pull down
00:46:39.33\00:46:42.13
and don't make a
donation to build the church,
00:46:42.16\00:46:43.50
you can do that there.
00:46:43.53\00:46:44.87
So this is the consequence,
00:46:44.90\00:46:46.23
Duane, of adding a
100,000 people to church,
00:46:46.27\00:46:47.60
you got to put
them in some place.
00:46:47.64\00:46:48.97
And they can't go
into existing churches
00:46:49.00\00:46:50.54
'cause they're full,
00:46:50.57\00:46:51.91
so we got to get
new buildings for them.
00:46:51.94\00:46:53.27
Right.
00:46:53.31\00:46:54.64
We got to put in, we're
gonna put an address roll
00:46:54.68\00:46:56.01
in just a moment you can have,
00:46:56.04\00:46:57.38
so let's take a
couple of more pictures
00:46:57.41\00:46:58.75
and then we go
to the address roll.
00:46:58.78\00:47:00.12
Okay, yeah.
00:47:00.15\00:47:01.48
Another picture
coming up, here we go,
00:47:01.52\00:47:02.85
these are the pathfinders,
they are heavily involved
00:47:02.88\00:47:04.32
all across the country,
00:47:04.35\00:47:05.69
they had TMI
scarves for the pathfinders.
00:47:05.72\00:47:07.49
Next picture.
00:47:07.52\00:47:08.86
Praise the Lord.
00:47:08.89\00:47:10.23
And I can see, this
is Andrew McChesney.
00:47:10.26\00:47:12.89
Yes, from Adventist Review.
00:47:12.93\00:47:15.66
And he was there,
preached his first meeting.
00:47:15.70\00:47:17.30
Did he really?
Preached his first meeting.
00:47:17.33\00:47:18.90
These are news
guys, they're good.
00:47:18.93\00:47:20.44
He is so excited,
gives the scarf then.
00:47:20.47\00:47:23.10
Next, and this,
00:47:23.14\00:47:24.64
we'll end with
this picture, this is...
00:47:24.67\00:47:27.58
This is Andrea Nagis,
grandmother in Romania
00:47:27.61\00:47:32.45
and that's were we're
going February 10 to 25.
00:47:32.48\00:47:37.15
She is my editor
in Sabbath school
00:47:37.19\00:47:38.75
for the junior
early teen lessons.
00:47:38.79\00:47:41.79
And so we wanted
to show this last
00:47:41.82\00:47:43.83
so that people
could be invited to go,
00:47:43.86\00:47:45.59
if they like to go to
Romania, Ukraine, Moldova,
00:47:45.63\00:47:49.76
Russia, Georgia, and Bulgaria.
00:47:49.80\00:47:53.74
Now, all of those will
take place in the same,
00:47:53.77\00:47:55.57
at the same time in February.
00:47:55.60\00:47:56.94
Russia is in March,
the others in February.
00:47:56.97\00:47:58.67
If you go on the
TMI.Adevrtist.org,
00:47:58.71\00:48:01.98
TMI.Adevrtist.org website,
00:48:02.01\00:48:04.78
you can sign up
for either one of those
00:48:04.81\00:48:06.72
Mark Finley's in
Bulgaria and he is out there,
00:48:06.75\00:48:09.58
Ramon Canals will be in Ukraine,
00:48:09.62\00:48:11.05
he needs help there.
00:48:11.09\00:48:12.42
We're in Romania and
so any these countries,
00:48:12.45\00:48:15.22
Brad Thorp is in
Russia and Georgia
00:48:15.26\00:48:18.19
and then Gary
Gibbs will be in Moldova.
00:48:18.23\00:48:20.86
Praise the Lord.
00:48:20.90\00:48:22.23
Now, do you try to
shoot for a certain number
00:48:22.26\00:48:25.73
when you go to a country
or you just take whoever comes
00:48:25.77\00:48:27.77
however many you get,
that's so many may come.
00:48:27.80\00:48:29.14
Who ever come because
00:48:29.17\00:48:30.51
the lay people preach there too.
00:48:30.54\00:48:31.87
Romania, I
couldn't believe this.
00:48:31.91\00:48:33.78
We were talking to them
00:48:33.81\00:48:35.14
and we're at the
last site up in Cluj.
00:48:35.18\00:48:39.15
and so made a plea to the audit
00:48:39.18\00:48:41.35
to have a huge
gymnasium for all the people.
00:48:41.38\00:48:44.59
And I ask the people to stand up
00:48:44.62\00:48:46.05
and they'll preach
and no one stood up.
00:48:46.09\00:48:47.62
Finally one or two stood up.
00:48:47.66\00:48:48.99
And then about 400 young adults
00:48:49.02\00:48:51.13
stood up and so now in Romania,
00:48:51.16\00:48:54.23
they're excited and
anticipating about...
00:48:54.26\00:48:57.87
Well, they have our last email,
00:48:57.90\00:49:01.47

1,600 evangelism meetings.
00:49:01.50\00:49:07.24
Plus they have one of
the largest conference
00:49:07.28\00:49:09.24

00:49:09.28\00:49:10.61
so they're accepting
2,000 event in Romania.
00:49:10.65\00:49:13.52
