00:00:02.46\00:00:08.40

00:00:08.44\00:00:13.34
I wanna spend my life
00:00:13.38\00:00:19.65

00:00:19.68\00:00:24.59
Lord, let my words
00:00:24.62\00:00:30.89
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:30.93\00:00:35.36
I wanna spend my life

Mending broken people
00:00:41.14\00:00:46.61

I'm here with Miss Yvonne. Hey.
00:01:18.41\00:01:20.44
Yvonne, we have some
special guests today.
00:01:20.48\00:01:23.71
I know. I am so excited
this, I love this family.
00:01:23.75\00:01:27.52
I love this family.
00:01:27.58\00:01:28.92
And it's gonna be,
00:01:28.95\00:01:30.29
we're gonna have a
lot of video to show.
00:01:30.32\00:01:31.65
Yes.
00:01:31.69\00:01:33.02
We're gonna talk
to the entire family
00:01:33.05\00:01:34.79
but, you know, what
I like about Christians
00:01:34.82\00:01:36.89
is we can have fun
00:01:36.93\00:01:38.29
and we don't have to go
out and do bad things...
00:01:38.33\00:01:40.06
That's right.
00:01:40.10\00:01:41.40
And things of the world
00:01:41.43\00:01:42.76
and our young
people can have fun.
00:01:42.80\00:01:44.13
That's right.
00:01:44.20\00:01:45.53
And we don't have to go
out and make bad decisions,
00:01:45.57\00:01:46.90
so we got a family here
00:01:46.94\00:01:48.27
that I'm so excited
to introduce you to.
00:01:48.30\00:01:50.24
Yes.
00:01:50.27\00:01:51.61
And so, we've got to
know them, and yesterday,
00:01:51.64\00:01:54.21
I got to know them a
lot, 'cause we got together
00:01:54.24\00:01:57.78
and we played some
table tennis, right?
00:01:57.81\00:02:01.55
And so, that way
when you're playing hard
00:02:01.58\00:02:04.09
with table tennis,
you get to know people.
00:02:04.12\00:02:05.89
Yes, indeed.
00:02:05.92\00:02:07.49
About a family we love so much,
so we have the Ríos family,
00:02:07.56\00:02:10.83
it's good to have you here.
00:02:10.86\00:02:12.19
And this is Dad,
Pablo. How are you doing?
00:02:12.23\00:02:14.56
Just fine, just fine.
00:02:14.60\00:02:15.93
And we see you
have your boys here
00:02:15.96\00:02:17.90
and your wife Didi, hi, Didi.
00:02:17.93\00:02:19.47
Hi.
00:02:19.50\00:02:20.84
Glad that you're here
and we have Mr. Kenai.
00:02:20.90\00:02:23.97
Where is Mr. Kenai?
Would you raise your hand?
00:02:24.01\00:02:26.34
I call him Mr. It,
00:02:26.37\00:02:27.71
'cause like he is
it, you're Mr. It,
00:02:27.74\00:02:30.71
but Kenai, but next to
you is your older brother
00:02:30.75\00:02:33.88
and it's Itziar, right?
00:02:33.92\00:02:35.72
Probably should call him, Its,
00:02:35.75\00:02:38.22
but I think you kind
of like being Mr. It.
00:02:38.25\00:02:41.82
And, but these
folks are in a ministry
00:02:41.86\00:02:44.93
and who would have ever dreamed,
00:02:44.96\00:02:46.66
they're in a
ministry with paddles, right?
00:02:46.70\00:02:49.86
Yes.
00:02:49.90\00:02:51.23
Now, when I saw a
paddle and as a kid at home,
00:02:51.27\00:02:53.00
I knew I was in
trouble but that's not,
00:02:53.03\00:02:55.20
if my dad was holding
one, then I was in trouble
00:02:55.24\00:02:57.81
but this is a ministry
and you guys travel around
00:02:57.84\00:03:02.44
and you play table tennis.
00:03:02.48\00:03:05.08
So we're gonna find
out a little bit about that
00:03:05.11\00:03:08.38
but it's amazing
that what you can do
00:03:08.42\00:03:11.09
for the cause of God, right?
00:03:11.12\00:03:12.45
Yes, yes, and, you
know, God isn't in a box,
00:03:12.49\00:03:15.72
like there's so
many different ways
00:03:15.76\00:03:17.53
to share God with people
00:03:17.56\00:03:19.53
and they have found
an amazing way to do it.
00:03:19.56\00:03:22.46
Absolutely, and
that's what's beautiful
00:03:22.50\00:03:24.47
about the ministry
and about the family,
00:03:24.50\00:03:26.27
you put God first.
00:03:26.30\00:03:27.64
Exactly. Amen.
00:03:27.67\00:03:29.00
And you should,
and we've played hard
00:03:29.04\00:03:30.37
and we've talked,
we call it talk trash,
00:03:30.41\00:03:32.37
you know, you talk
back and forth and okay,
00:03:32.41\00:03:35.28
I'm gonna beat you in this game,
00:03:35.31\00:03:36.64
and you're gonna beat me,
00:03:36.71\00:03:38.05
but we hold hands
and we pray together
00:03:38.08\00:03:40.22
and because it's all in fun,
00:03:40.28\00:03:42.45
but these guys have
such a tremendous witness
00:03:42.48\00:03:46.82
that God has given them
00:03:46.86\00:03:48.19
because of their
gift of being able
00:03:48.22\00:03:50.99
to be so athletic in a
sport called, table tennis,
00:03:51.03\00:03:54.66
they have
jackets that they wear,
00:03:54.73\00:03:56.60
we'll talk about
it a little bit more,
00:03:56.63\00:03:58.00
but they'll have things
that give glory and honor to God
00:03:58.03\00:04:01.74
and so they're,
they don't hide it
00:04:01.77\00:04:03.51
from, from anyone,
00:04:03.54\00:04:05.37
but we're gonna find out about
some of their accomplishments.
00:04:05.41\00:04:07.64
Now today, when we do this,
00:04:07.68\00:04:09.24
we're not gonna give
credit to the young folks,
00:04:09.28\00:04:11.65
but we're
giving credit to Jesus.
00:04:11.68\00:04:13.01
Amen. Amen.
00:04:13.05\00:04:14.38
Because, right?
00:04:14.42\00:04:15.75
So the credit goes to Jesus,
00:04:15.78\00:04:17.12
because without the
Lord blessing you all,
00:04:17.19\00:04:20.19
you wouldn't be
able to do anything
00:04:20.26\00:04:21.59
that you're doing.
00:04:21.62\00:04:22.96
Yep.
00:04:22.99\00:04:24.33
But it's also encouraging
to see that young folk,
00:04:24.36\00:04:25.69
"If you train them
in the way of the Lord,"
00:04:25.73\00:04:27.76
Bible says, "When they get old,
they'll not depart from it."
00:04:27.83\00:04:30.43
That's right.
00:04:30.47\00:04:31.80
And that you can
take these talents,
00:04:31.83\00:04:33.17
something that you do everyday,
00:04:33.20\00:04:34.64
you're gonna get
better and better and better
00:04:34.67\00:04:37.07
but also what they have,
00:04:37.11\00:04:38.94
that Yvonne and I
talked about last night,
00:04:38.97\00:04:41.38
is the support.
00:04:41.41\00:04:42.94
That's right.
00:04:42.98\00:04:44.31
Tell us a little bit
about the support you saw.
00:04:44.35\00:04:46.15
It makes such a
difference to see a family unit
00:04:46.18\00:04:50.65
that is so cohesive
00:04:50.69\00:04:52.59
and that has the
Lord at the center.
00:04:52.62\00:04:56.26
The Dad is the trainer,
00:04:56.29\00:04:58.86
and Mom is the
spiritual counselor
00:04:58.89\00:05:01.50
and also, she plays too.
00:05:01.53\00:05:03.57
It's like everybody plays.
00:05:03.60\00:05:05.43
And it's just,
it's so beautiful,
00:05:05.47\00:05:07.34
and the boys, I loved it,
'cause, 'cause Kenai said,
00:05:07.37\00:05:11.24
"Let's pray" at the
end of our time with them,
00:05:11.27\00:05:15.88
he said, "let's
pray," and they all,
00:05:15.91\00:05:18.01
they both prayed so beautifully,
00:05:18.05\00:05:19.65
I mean, it's so
touching, and it's real,
00:05:19.68\00:05:23.12
you know, it's not
fake, it's genuine, you just,
00:05:23.15\00:05:26.59
you just know that these
boys know Jesus and that's what,
00:05:26.62\00:05:31.59
they exude that and I
know everywhere they go,
00:05:31.63\00:05:35.60
they, they show, you
show that you love Jesus
00:05:35.63\00:05:39.13
and I just think
that's so beautiful.
00:05:39.17\00:05:41.24
Thank you. It's so beautiful.
00:05:41.27\00:05:42.77
I want to find out,
we'll start with you, Pablo,
00:05:42.80\00:05:44.77
tell us a little bit about,
I see a lot of ribbons here,
00:05:44.81\00:05:47.18
but tell us the background
and how you got involved
00:05:47.24\00:05:49.74
in a table tennis
ministry for Jesus.
00:05:49.78\00:05:52.51
Well, it started off,
00:05:52.55\00:05:56.05
we had no idea
what was table tennis,
00:05:56.08\00:05:58.55
as a matter of fact,
we called it ping-pong.
00:05:58.59\00:06:00.22
Yeah, me too.
00:06:00.29\00:06:01.89
The boys
corrected me. Oh, they did.
00:06:01.92\00:06:03.89
They told you...
00:06:03.96\00:06:05.29
Ping-pong, that's amateurs,
00:06:05.33\00:06:06.66
so I still in ping-pong
with their table tennis.
00:06:06.70\00:06:08.66
Yeah, table tennis
is the Olympic sport
00:06:08.70\00:06:10.87
and it's a much
higher, more training,
00:06:10.90\00:06:13.54
more training
takes involved in it
00:06:13.57\00:06:16.40
and, and we, like I said,
00:06:16.44\00:06:19.54
we did not know anything
about table tennis, so...
00:06:19.57\00:06:24.05
I just, a friend of
mine gave me a table,
00:06:24.08\00:06:26.08
and we bring it home,
00:06:26.11\00:06:27.45
and I made some
rackets of some wood,
00:06:27.52\00:06:30.29
and I had them play for a while,
00:06:30.32\00:06:31.69
and I saw they caught up
real quick with this game,
00:06:31.72\00:06:34.62
and I said, "Oh,
they got talent."
00:06:34.66\00:06:36.93
And they're how old about then?
00:06:36.96\00:06:38.39
Kenai was four and a half,
and Itziar was eight years old.
00:06:38.43\00:06:41.66
Okay.
00:06:41.70\00:06:43.03
Yeah, it's been four years
and a half we've been training,
00:06:43.06\00:06:45.43
thanks to the Lord, He gave us
all the wisdom and the health,
00:06:45.47\00:06:49.74
and the Lord has
blessed us in many ways.
00:06:49.77\00:06:52.67
And then, the
kids, by their self,
00:06:52.71\00:06:54.44
they, one day, just,
00:06:54.48\00:06:56.75
my wife saw them writing
something down on a paper
00:06:56.81\00:07:00.28
and, "What are you doing?"
00:07:00.35\00:07:01.68
"Well, we're gonna write
special messages on our back,
00:07:01.72\00:07:04.32
so that way we
can inspire other kids
00:07:04.35\00:07:06.99
and share Jesus with them."
00:07:07.02\00:07:09.26
So that's
basically how it started.
00:07:09.29\00:07:11.73
Okay, I noticed you have
a basket of ping-pong balls.
00:07:11.76\00:07:16.43
Now, we can't call
them ping-pong balls,
00:07:16.46\00:07:18.87
table tennis balls, okay?
00:07:18.90\00:07:20.34
We can't even do that
anymore, but like this,
00:07:20.37\00:07:23.41
what does that say?
00:07:23.44\00:07:24.77
It says, "God listens, pray."
00:07:24.81\00:07:27.28
Okay, so each one of
these has different messages.
00:07:27.31\00:07:30.35
Yes, they do. Yes, they do.
00:07:30.38\00:07:31.71
"God's sons never quit."
00:07:31.75\00:07:33.28
So we get all of these
things, I love it, it says,
00:07:33.31\00:07:37.02
"1 cross, 3 nails, 4 given."
00:07:37.09\00:07:39.45
Oh, yes.
00:07:39.49\00:07:41.52
Isn't that nice? Nice.
00:07:41.56\00:07:43.53
So all of these, you would now,
00:07:43.56\00:07:44.89
what do you do with these balls?
00:07:44.93\00:07:46.83
We give it to the people that
we know, a friend or a family.
00:07:46.90\00:07:51.73
Yeah, and the ones you beat.
00:07:51.77\00:07:55.67
They left you some.
After you beat them.
00:07:55.70\00:07:57.17
They left you some.
00:07:57.21\00:07:58.54
They left me some,
after you beat em',
00:07:58.57\00:08:01.11
you leave them
here to encourage 'em,
00:08:01.14\00:08:02.61
don't be discouraged,
they're some good...
00:08:02.64\00:08:04.55
You have some. Yeah, thank you.
00:08:04.58\00:08:07.05
So you give these
to friends and people
00:08:07.08\00:08:09.48
where you go to
do your tournaments
00:08:09.52\00:08:12.72
or whether
you're going to churches
00:08:12.75\00:08:14.46
and you leave these and
your, your goal is to what?
00:08:14.49\00:08:18.69
I think you said earlier,
to inspire other young people.
00:08:18.73\00:08:21.33
Yeah, inspire
other young people,
00:08:21.36\00:08:24.17
old people, all the
people in the world.
00:08:24.20\00:08:26.84
Yeah.
00:08:26.87\00:08:28.20
So to inspire them that
there is a good way of life
00:08:28.24\00:08:31.04
and that's serving the Lord
00:08:31.07\00:08:33.24
and you use the
talents God has given you
00:08:33.27\00:08:35.54
as a door to get in.
00:08:35.58\00:08:36.95
Exactly, yeah.
00:08:36.98\00:08:38.31
Other words,
probably at 12 years old,
00:08:38.35\00:08:39.68
not too many places would
be inviting you to come in
00:08:39.71\00:08:42.35
and speak and give
advice and, you know,
00:08:42.38\00:08:45.32
talk to people if it
weren't for your abilities
00:08:45.35\00:08:48.36
that you have, now,
00:08:48.39\00:08:49.72
so I wanna talk a
little bit about you,
00:08:49.76\00:08:51.59
you first, Itziar,
00:08:51.63\00:08:53.63
I see a number of ribbons,
maybe rather than to him,
00:08:53.70\00:08:57.17
it might be better
if Dad will tell us
00:08:57.23\00:08:59.27
a little bit about
some of the tournaments
00:08:59.30\00:09:00.97
and some of the
things you all won.
00:09:01.00\00:09:03.17
Yes, we just
recently, thanks to the Lord,
00:09:03.20\00:09:05.67
always giving Him the glory,
00:09:05.71\00:09:07.64
which gave us all the
talent and the wisdom,
00:09:07.68\00:09:10.18
we went to the
Badger State Winter Games.
00:09:10.21\00:09:12.55
Badger State,
that's in Wisconsin.
00:09:12.58\00:09:13.95
Yes, Wisconsin in Wausau
00:09:13.98\00:09:15.48
It's the last winter?
00:09:15.52\00:09:16.85
It's the last winter. Okay.
00:09:16.92\00:09:18.25
And they actually, never
had a table tennis participation
00:09:18.29\00:09:21.59
within their state games,
00:09:21.62\00:09:23.56
it was the first
time in 30 years,
00:09:23.59\00:09:25.09
they had their
table tennis included,
00:09:25.13\00:09:27.40
and thanks to
God, we were there,
00:09:27.46\00:09:29.36
and it was a great time,
00:09:29.40\00:09:31.33
we had the
opportunity to share the message
00:09:31.37\00:09:33.37
as always we do
in participations,
00:09:33.44\00:09:37.31
and thanks to God,
Itziar got in first place,
00:09:37.34\00:09:41.24
he got a gold medal
"14 years and under."
00:09:41.28\00:09:42.61
That's gold medal. Wow!
00:09:42.64\00:09:45.08
And you were playing with him.
00:09:45.11\00:09:46.72
Yeah. Wow!
00:09:46.75\00:09:48.52
And Kenai got a bronze medal.
00:09:48.55\00:09:51.29
You got the bronze?
Fourteen years and under.
00:09:51.32\00:09:53.49
Is that? Right,
that's amazing. So, wow!
00:09:53.56\00:09:56.62
That's good, so that's
one, what's some of the others?
00:09:56.66\00:09:58.83
The other one, it's the
one they did in Puerto Rico,
00:09:58.86\00:10:02.80
they called it the
First Games of Puerto Rico,
00:10:02.83\00:10:04.67
which was in other
words, like an Olympic game
00:10:04.70\00:10:07.87
within the
nation of Puerto Rico...
00:10:07.90\00:10:09.24
Yeah, the
national games within...
00:10:09.27\00:10:10.61
Yeah, the best of the
best in every kind of sport.
00:10:10.67\00:10:12.01
Yes.
00:10:12.04\00:10:13.38
And that tournament, it
was held, thanks to God,
00:10:13.41\00:10:16.41
it was held on a Friday morning.
00:10:16.44\00:10:17.78
Okay.
00:10:17.81\00:10:19.15
'Cause...
00:10:19.18\00:10:20.52
I think it was at night.
00:10:20.58\00:10:21.92
Yeah, it was at
night, 'cause of our,
00:10:21.95\00:10:23.35
our belief and our
faithfulness to God,
00:10:23.39\00:10:25.99
we don't play on Saturdays,
00:10:26.02\00:10:27.79
so most of the tournaments
are held on Saturdays
00:10:27.82\00:10:30.33
on their age group
00:10:30.39\00:10:32.09
and the Federation
of Puerto Rico sadly,
00:10:32.13\00:10:34.66
you know, doesn't
have developed in a way
00:10:34.73\00:10:38.33
that you can give
opportunity to the people
00:10:38.37\00:10:40.37
that don't play on the Sabbath
to have that opportunity.
00:10:40.40\00:10:42.30
Okay.
00:10:42.34\00:10:43.67
So they forced us to
play, well, not forced us,
00:10:43.74\00:10:45.21
the only
opportunity they gave us
00:10:45.24\00:10:46.91
was to play on a Sunday.
00:10:46.94\00:10:48.28
Okay.
00:10:48.31\00:10:49.64
So we had to play with
bigger, stronger players.
00:10:49.68\00:10:51.38
I see.
00:10:51.41\00:10:52.75
So God works in
such a mysterious way,
00:10:52.78\00:10:55.62
but it actually
happened was it's just,
00:10:55.65\00:10:58.39
my kids developed even faster.
00:10:58.42\00:11:01.19
Okay, 'cause you're
playing the older, older people.
00:11:01.22\00:11:04.76
More
experienced, stronger players.
00:11:04.79\00:11:06.63
Okay.
00:11:06.70\00:11:08.00
We kept on working hard,
like, the game was next weekend,
00:11:08.03\00:11:12.37
and that year, we
practiced for a whole year
00:11:12.40\00:11:14.80
and we only had
one participation
00:11:14.84\00:11:16.87
in the whole year.
00:11:16.91\00:11:18.24
Oh, okay.
00:11:18.27\00:11:19.61
And we were ready,
practicing everyday
00:11:19.64\00:11:20.98
like if there was a
participation the next day,
00:11:21.01\00:11:23.61
and thanks to God's glory,
00:11:23.65\00:11:24.98
Kenai came in first
and he won gold medals.
00:11:25.01\00:11:26.92
He won gold
medal for Puerto Rico.
00:11:26.98\00:11:29.32
Seven years and
under, in our city.
00:11:29.35\00:11:32.85
Añasco is the west
side of the island.
00:11:32.89\00:11:34.62
Yeah, okay.
00:11:34.66\00:11:35.99
And Kenai, Itziar
came in the top five.
00:11:36.02\00:11:37.89
Wow! That's
incredible, wonderful.
00:11:37.93\00:11:41.23
Wow!
00:11:41.26\00:11:42.60
Didi, I wanna ask you something,
00:11:42.63\00:11:44.00
as mom and spiritual counselor
as well to your children,
00:11:44.03\00:11:50.04
how do you feel when your
boys are playing and excelling?
00:11:50.07\00:11:54.61
What does that bring out in you?
00:11:54.64\00:11:56.44
When I saw them plain
and I saw that uniform
00:11:56.48\00:11:59.55
that they decide
to put, you know,
00:11:59.58\00:12:01.32
God's word on it,
oh, I cannot describe,
00:12:01.35\00:12:05.25
I feel so proud of
them, at the same time,
00:12:05.29\00:12:09.42
I know that God is
in everything of this,
00:12:09.46\00:12:13.03
in our ministry,
00:12:13.06\00:12:14.56
I saw the people
reading the message,
00:12:14.60\00:12:16.83
I see the people
enjoying, see them playing,
00:12:16.87\00:12:20.70
and it is incredible how
mom I can feel in that moment,
00:12:20.74\00:12:25.37
and I can understand
00:12:25.41\00:12:28.18
that God is planning
something special on the way,
00:12:28.21\00:12:33.48
I know that God
is gonna open doors
00:12:33.52\00:12:37.95
in the way that
He only can do it
00:12:37.99\00:12:40.62
and we are so happy because we,
00:12:40.66\00:12:42.96
we saw the powerful
hand of God in all of this.
00:12:42.99\00:12:46.13
Yes.
00:12:46.16\00:12:47.50
Now, your boys
are eventually here
00:12:47.56\00:12:49.76
in the next few years,
00:12:49.80\00:12:51.13
you are gonna be good enough
and may already be to play
00:12:51.17\00:12:53.57
like in the Olympics,
you know, the world Olympics.
00:12:53.60\00:12:56.54
Now, if they have the Olympic
00:12:56.57\00:12:59.27
and you work your way all
the way up to the Olympics,
00:12:59.31\00:13:02.14
you can represent Puerto
Rico or American Olympics
00:13:02.18\00:13:05.68
and the games are on Saturday,
don't you think, maybe,
00:13:05.71\00:13:08.45
you can make that an exception
00:13:08.48\00:13:09.92
and go ahead
and play on Sabbath?
00:13:09.95\00:13:11.69
We will still not play
if it was the Olympics,
00:13:11.72\00:13:15.19
if it was Sunday.
00:13:15.22\00:13:17.03
Really? You
wouldn't play on Sabbath?
00:13:17.06\00:13:19.09
Even in Sunday,
we shouldn't play
00:13:19.13\00:13:21.46
because the Olympic is a
praise for the god Olympia.
00:13:21.50\00:13:26.70
Oh, I see.
00:13:26.74\00:13:28.20
Oh, have mercy.
00:13:28.24\00:13:29.84
That's why we
change the world champion.
00:13:29.87\00:13:32.47
They rather compete
in world championship.
00:13:32.51\00:13:34.94
I see world
champions in Olympics.
00:13:34.98\00:13:36.38
'Cause it's the adoration
of the goddess Olympia.
00:13:36.41\00:13:39.68
They taught me some, thank
you for teaching me that today.
00:13:39.71\00:13:44.05
So you want to play in
world champions but you,
00:13:44.09\00:13:46.72
you wouldn't
play on the Sabbath?
00:13:46.76\00:13:48.49
No. No.
00:13:48.52\00:13:49.86
And why not?
00:13:49.89\00:13:51.46
Because that's the
law of God, that's why.
00:13:51.49\00:13:53.96
Okay, the law of God,
the fourth commandment says,
00:13:54.00\00:13:56.30
"Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy."
00:13:56.33\00:13:58.13
Yeah.
00:13:58.17\00:13:59.50
"Six days thou shall
labor and do all thy work
00:13:59.53\00:14:00.97
but the seventh
day is the Sabbath."
00:14:01.00\00:14:03.07
What is the seventh
day? What day of the week?
00:14:03.10\00:14:05.34
Seventh.
00:14:05.37\00:14:06.88
Yeah, the seventh
but what day of the week?
00:14:06.91\00:14:08.81
Monday? Tuesday? Wednesday?
00:14:08.84\00:14:10.18
Saturday. Saturday, right?
00:14:10.25\00:14:12.35
So from Friday evening sundown
00:14:12.38\00:14:14.35
to the Saturday evening
sundown, no matter what,
00:14:14.38\00:14:17.42
and these tournaments
that you play, if they say,
00:14:17.49\00:14:19.85
"Well, you could play
and you'll win a $1000."
00:14:19.89\00:14:22.89
And, you know, you've watched
a competitor and you say,
00:14:22.92\00:14:25.69
"I'm sure, I could win that."
00:14:25.73\00:14:27.30
You're still not
gonna play on Sabbath?
00:14:27.40\00:14:29.20
No. No.
00:14:29.23\00:14:30.57
That's wonderful.
Isn't that wonderful?
00:14:30.63\00:14:32.37
Because Jesus says,
00:14:32.40\00:14:34.27
"He who puts mother,
father, sister, brother,
00:14:34.30\00:14:36.77
you know, ahead of
Him is not worthy of Him."
00:14:36.81\00:14:39.01
So what they're
saying is, you know,
00:14:39.04\00:14:41.11
more important than
anything here on this earth
00:14:41.14\00:14:44.75
is serving the Lord, right?
00:14:44.78\00:14:46.11
Yep.
00:14:46.15\00:14:47.48
As in the long
run, that's what counts.
00:14:47.52\00:14:49.05
What we wanna do, we can
talk some more about that,
00:14:49.08\00:14:51.22
but we have a
little bit of video,
00:14:51.25\00:14:52.59
I think they came
over to our school
00:14:52.62\00:14:55.06
and we want to give it a
little idea about their plan,
00:14:55.09\00:14:57.63
and I think Tita Dinzey
kind of got up a little video,
00:14:57.66\00:15:00.86
so we wanna show that
00:15:00.93\00:15:02.23
and then we'll come
back and talk some more.
00:15:02.26\00:15:04.10
Oh, amen, well,
you can have mercy,
00:17:02.95\00:17:05.69
I saw that you were
just letting up a little bit
00:17:05.72\00:17:07.86
on the court so,
so you as a family,
00:17:07.89\00:17:10.36
you're willing to go
to churches and schools
00:17:10.39\00:17:12.89
and literally put on these,
00:17:12.93\00:17:15.30
these, I don't want
to say performances,
00:17:15.33\00:17:16.87
what would you call?
00:17:16.90\00:17:18.23
Exhibitions, where you can play
00:17:18.27\00:17:20.24
with the kids
and the young people,
00:17:20.27\00:17:21.84
but you can
encourage them in the Lord
00:17:21.87\00:17:23.81
and give them a chance to play,
00:17:23.84\00:17:25.94
and then also,
the Dare to Dream,
00:17:25.97\00:17:28.58
he sent me a challenge,
00:17:28.61\00:17:30.15
will have to
show that in a minute,
00:17:30.18\00:17:31.68
he challenged, the only reason
00:17:31.71\00:17:33.05
that we were supposed to
be in Houston, but I said,
00:17:33.08\00:17:35.95
"Well, we have to change
your schedule a little bit."
00:17:35.98\00:17:38.45
Because I just found on Facebook
00:17:38.49\00:17:41.42
that this young man
00:17:41.46\00:17:44.13
put a challenge to Danny Shelton
00:17:44.16\00:17:46.70
that he could beat
me playing table tennis,
00:17:46.73\00:17:50.83
and so I think
what we'll do here
00:17:50.87\00:17:52.20
in just a minute,
00:17:52.23\00:17:53.57
and that's the
reason this all came about,
00:17:53.60\00:17:54.94
I said, "You know what?
00:17:54.97\00:17:56.30
I might have to stay
here and play this kid."
00:17:56.34\00:17:58.11
I said, "No, I
haven't played in a long time,
00:17:58.14\00:17:59.77
but I used to be pretty good,
but he's only nine years old."
00:17:59.81\00:18:02.54
Now there's no
way nine- year-old kid
00:18:02.58\00:18:05.08
surely can play table
tennis that good, right?
00:18:05.11\00:18:08.45
I mean, he's nine years old.
00:18:08.48\00:18:10.12
But I said, "No, this is fun.
00:18:10.15\00:18:11.79
He is sitting here,
they're giving God the credit
00:18:11.82\00:18:14.19
for everything they
do, but he challenged me,
00:18:14.22\00:18:16.49
so maybe if we have that
roll, I'd like to put that on
00:18:16.52\00:18:20.56
and show why we had
our big match yesterday
00:18:20.63\00:18:23.30
that we're leading up to.
00:18:23.37\00:18:25.67
First of all, I
wanna say all the respect
00:18:25.70\00:18:28.30
to Danny Shelton for
spreading the gospel news
00:18:28.34\00:18:32.27
and telling about Jesus Christ.
00:18:32.31\00:18:34.61
I'm doing this
video for one purpose,
00:18:34.64\00:18:37.28
to inspire all the
kids to Dare to Dream.
00:18:37.35\00:18:40.02
I want to
challenge you Danny Shelton
00:18:40.05\00:18:42.48
to table tennis game,
00:18:42.52\00:18:44.59
I'm gonna show you right
now what I got in four years.
00:18:44.62\00:18:48.89
That's what I got in four years.
00:18:56.10\00:18:58.23
Oh, and I forgot, I'm
gonna put this on YouTube,
00:18:58.27\00:19:01.77
see you there.
00:19:01.80\00:19:05.17
I love that little, at the end.
00:19:05.21\00:19:07.81
When I saw that, I said,
"Okay, I'm gonna play this kid."
00:19:07.84\00:19:11.01
And then, I found
out it gets worse,
00:19:11.05\00:19:13.05
then he's got an older
brother and then his dad,
00:19:13.08\00:19:15.42
and then his mom, they all play,
00:19:15.45\00:19:17.65
and so we stayed and we
had a great time playing some,
00:19:17.69\00:19:22.22
they came over to my
house in the basement,
00:19:22.26\00:19:24.36
I bought a table, and
I bought a new paddle,
00:19:24.39\00:19:27.66
'cause I thought,
"Well, if I have a new paddle,
00:19:27.73\00:19:29.46
it'll make me a better player."
00:19:29.50\00:19:30.87
That didn't seem
to help but anyway,
00:19:30.90\00:19:33.13
that's not the way you do
it, what I found out, of course,
00:19:33.17\00:19:35.94
it's through practice, right?
00:19:35.97\00:19:38.14
So tell us what you're doing...
00:19:38.17\00:19:39.81
You're living where, right now?
00:19:39.84\00:19:41.31
We're living in,
Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
00:19:41.34\00:19:43.04
Okay, so you came
from Puerto Rico to Oshkosh
00:19:43.08\00:19:46.01
and what would take
you up from, from the warm,
00:19:46.05\00:19:48.78
warm weather of the Puerto Rico,
00:19:48.82\00:19:51.12
all the way up to Oshkosh?
00:19:51.15\00:19:54.46
We've been asking
the Lord for a long time
00:19:57.53\00:20:00.80
how we can take our ministry
00:20:00.83\00:20:04.13
to bigger and better
places, all around the nation,
00:20:04.17\00:20:07.40
and all of a sudden, I
applied for this position
00:20:07.44\00:20:09.50
and I used to work, I worked
with the federal government
00:20:09.54\00:20:11.84
and I applied for a position
in Wisconsin, with USDA,
00:20:11.87\00:20:15.04
and by God's grace,
I guess I got selected.
00:20:15.08\00:20:18.08
Okay.
00:20:18.11\00:20:19.45
And I had my
relocations paid and everything
00:20:19.48\00:20:21.68
and that would
bring us to Oshkosh,
00:20:21.72\00:20:25.09
but God has given this
promise way before that,
00:20:25.12\00:20:27.66
He said that my kids
will go to the nations
00:20:27.69\00:20:30.13
and many people
will bow to Jesus' feet
00:20:30.19\00:20:32.63
through their testimony.
00:20:32.66\00:20:34.00
Oh, that's so wonderful.
00:20:34.03\00:20:35.36
I think this was
planned way, way much before.
00:20:35.40\00:20:38.97
Yeah, and it's amazing
they both have that desire,
00:20:39.00\00:20:42.40
not just one of them, but
they both have that desire
00:20:42.44\00:20:44.87
and how many, now, Kenai,
00:20:44.91\00:20:46.64
how many hours do you
play a day on average,
00:20:46.71\00:20:50.18
other than Sabbath?
00:20:50.21\00:20:51.55
Three to four or five.
00:20:51.58\00:20:52.91
Three and four and five
hours, you play table tennis.
00:20:52.95\00:20:56.82
And I saw some of the practices
00:20:56.85\00:20:58.65
where Dad has a
whole box of balls
00:20:58.69\00:21:00.76
and he's just
hitting them to you
00:21:00.79\00:21:02.42
and you're just hitting them,
hitting them, and you just,
00:21:02.46\00:21:04.96
and one after another
after another, I mean,
00:21:04.99\00:21:07.40
you just keep
going and, you guys,
00:21:07.40\00:21:08.83
do you play together
quite a bit really hard?
00:21:08.86\00:21:12.03
Yes, sometimes.
00:21:12.07\00:21:13.40
Some of the things they do
is more for exhibition, like,
00:21:13.44\00:21:16.77
probably for the
layman, we say, wow,
00:21:16.81\00:21:19.34
they stand back from the
table and hit the ball and, boy,
00:21:19.37\00:21:22.38
you were all amazed by it,
00:21:22.41\00:21:24.25
but that's not even
what they do in games,
00:21:24.28\00:21:26.25
because in games,
it's much tougher, like,
00:21:26.28\00:21:28.22
when you're doing that,
00:21:28.25\00:21:29.58
you're going to
each other's strengths
00:21:29.62\00:21:31.12
but when you're in a game,
00:21:31.15\00:21:32.62
now you're
thinking and you're like,
00:21:32.65\00:21:34.02
"Okay, this guy is
blind in the right eye,
00:21:34.06\00:21:36.69
so I'll go over here
and hit his right eye
00:21:36.73\00:21:38.73
like he did me."
00:21:38.76\00:21:40.10
Look at him here,
no shame whatsoever,
00:21:40.16\00:21:42.93
win it me in my weakness
00:21:42.96\00:21:44.83
but that's what you
do, you know, when you aim,
00:21:44.87\00:21:46.80
but the beauty of this
00:21:46.87\00:21:48.97
and I want
people to understand it,
00:21:49.00\00:21:50.34
because there
are people who say,
00:21:50.37\00:21:52.81
"Well, you know,
sports, that's the physical,
00:21:52.84\00:21:55.74
we shouldn't be
involved in sports."
00:21:55.78\00:21:57.18
I have people,
I've played basketball
00:21:57.21\00:21:58.85
literally all my life, you guys,
00:21:58.88\00:22:00.45
seen my video in basketball?
00:22:00.52\00:22:01.85
Oh, yeah.
00:22:01.88\00:22:03.22
I've played it all my life
00:22:03.25\00:22:04.59
and, you know,
now I'm an old man,
00:22:04.62\00:22:05.95
but I still love
playing, but people say,
00:22:05.99\00:22:07.56
"Oh, you
shouldn't play basketball."
00:22:07.59\00:22:10.26
You know, I said, "Why not?"
00:22:10.33\00:22:11.66
First of all,
it's good exercise.
00:22:11.69\00:22:13.26
"Well, you
shouldn't keep score."
00:22:13.29\00:22:14.60
"Why not?
00:22:14.63\00:22:15.96
My dad always
said, 'Whatever you do,
00:22:16.00\00:22:17.33
do the best you can do.'"
00:22:17.37\00:22:18.70
The idea is you play
with all of your might,
00:22:18.73\00:22:21.04
whatever you do, you do it,
00:22:21.07\00:22:22.70
but you don't get
angry if you lose, you don't,
00:22:22.74\00:22:25.04
competition is different
than, than when you're playing,
00:22:25.07\00:22:29.34
you can play to win
00:22:29.38\00:22:30.71
but what I look at
00:22:30.75\00:22:32.08
it is competition
is different than when,
00:22:32.11\00:22:35.45
like schools get together,
00:22:35.48\00:22:37.15
like we used to in
West Frankfurt and Benton,
00:22:37.19\00:22:39.52
there are football
00:22:39.55\00:22:40.92
and these are
like grudge matches,
00:22:40.96\00:22:42.46
you know, people get together
and you, you want to win,
00:22:42.49\00:22:45.19
the whole town is for your
team and so that's like rivalry,
00:22:45.23\00:22:49.73
so there is a difference
in competition and rivalry.
00:22:49.76\00:22:53.03
Competition is you try
to be the best you can be.
00:22:53.07\00:22:56.47
How many of you at your jobs
00:22:56.50\00:22:58.44
don't try to be
the best you can be?
00:22:58.47\00:23:00.41
You wanna be the best.
00:23:00.48\00:23:02.28
How many of you no
matter what you're doing,
00:23:02.31\00:23:04.71
you try to be the
best at what you're doing?
00:23:04.75\00:23:06.82
It's not
necessarily just in scripture,
00:23:06.85\00:23:09.18
been in our life in
general, we try to be the best,
00:23:09.22\00:23:12.52
you have a doctor's degree,
00:23:12.55\00:23:13.99
you wanted to do the
best that you could be
00:23:14.06\00:23:16.73
in the naturopathic medicine
00:23:16.76\00:23:20.10
so, you, you really
worked hard for that.
00:23:20.13\00:23:24.13
Yeah, and as you're saying,
this, it's actually scriptural,
00:23:24.17\00:23:27.84
Paul says, "We
strive for the mastery."
00:23:27.87\00:23:30.27
So we strive to be
the best that we can be,
00:23:30.31\00:23:33.78
we're in a race.
00:23:33.84\00:23:35.18
Yeah.
00:23:35.21\00:23:36.54
Paul says, "We're in a race."
00:23:36.58\00:23:37.91
He says, "I fought a good
fight and I run a good race."
00:23:37.95\00:23:39.98
So for any of you
that have that doubt,
00:23:40.02\00:23:41.55
there is a difference.
00:23:41.58\00:23:42.92
This is not rivalry,
00:23:42.95\00:23:44.29
competition is you do
the best that you can do
00:23:44.32\00:23:46.25
and give God the glory
00:23:46.29\00:23:48.49
for whatever it is
that you accomplish
00:23:48.52\00:23:50.89
and so I've not
always done that in my life,
00:23:50.93\00:23:52.86
but I wanna do that, in
the last number of years,
00:23:52.89\00:23:55.70
I've been
trying to do that more.
00:23:55.73\00:23:57.20
These young guys are
doing that already in their life
00:23:57.23\00:23:59.63
and that's
because of the parents,
00:23:59.67\00:24:01.27
it's because
00:24:01.30\00:24:02.64
of what you are
instilling in this kids,
00:24:02.67\00:24:05.14
so you, you young
guys, for your parents,
00:24:05.17\00:24:09.54
you owe them everything,
00:24:09.58\00:24:10.95
because if it
weren't for your parents,
00:24:10.98\00:24:13.25
you wouldn't be
where you are today,
00:24:13.28\00:24:15.25
but they're teaching
you about the love of God
00:24:15.28\00:24:18.29
and they're teaching you,
00:24:18.32\00:24:20.26
and what Dad is
doing and Mom is doing,
00:24:20.29\00:24:22.46
they're giving
you the most valuable,
00:24:22.49\00:24:24.76
you know the most valuable
thing they have, is their time,
00:24:24.79\00:24:28.56
and they're giving you the time,
00:24:28.60\00:24:30.07
so many kids today,
00:24:30.13\00:24:32.07
their parents don't
spend any time with them
00:24:32.10\00:24:35.47
or very little and yet,
you are fortunate enough
00:24:35.50\00:24:39.44
that your parents spend
hours and hours and hours,
00:24:39.47\00:24:42.28
so what they're
doing is they're traveling
00:24:42.31\00:24:44.68
and to different churches,
00:24:44.71\00:24:46.15
witnessing for the Lord
during different events,
00:24:46.18\00:24:49.15
they're going to
tournaments and I have no doubt,
00:24:49.18\00:24:51.79
you guys will be
in the world games,
00:24:51.82\00:24:53.62
if you don't choose
not to be in the Olympics,
00:24:53.66\00:24:55.76
that's fine,
00:24:55.79\00:24:57.13
but you're gonna
be in the world games,
00:24:57.19\00:24:58.53
because you're really that good,
00:24:58.56\00:24:59.96
but now, you are
playing, tell me, Kenai,
00:25:00.06\00:25:03.77
you played against a German guy,
00:25:03.80\00:25:05.90
tell me about this German guy.
00:25:05.93\00:25:07.27
Who is he?
00:25:07.34\00:25:08.67
Jorgen Persson.
00:25:08.70\00:25:10.04
Yes, is he?
00:25:10.07\00:25:11.41
He's a legend. He's a legend.
00:25:11.44\00:25:13.24
Okay, I kind of
know what that is.
00:25:13.27\00:25:15.01
My dad used to tell me,
00:25:15.04\00:25:16.38
"Son, you're a
legend in your own mind."
00:25:16.41\00:25:18.28
Here we go, look at this.
00:25:18.31\00:25:20.02
He's not a German, he's Swede.
00:25:21.38\00:25:23.15
Oh, Swiss, Swedish.
00:25:23.18\00:25:25.69
But look at you,
how did you get to play
00:25:25.72\00:25:28.59
with somebody that famous,
who's a legend in table tennis?
00:25:28.62\00:25:31.39
Well, he's tall. Yeah.
00:25:31.43\00:25:33.90
How did you get to play?
00:25:33.93\00:25:35.23
They wouldn't
let me walk in there
00:25:35.26\00:25:36.93
and play with him,
how did you get that?
00:25:36.97\00:25:39.93
My mom and me
went there and we said,
00:25:40.00\00:25:42.84
"Can we play with you?"
00:25:42.87\00:25:44.21
And that's how it all started.
00:25:44.27\00:25:45.61
Really? Wow!
00:25:45.64\00:25:46.98
Something about him
must've impressed you,
00:25:47.01\00:25:48.68
'cause I know he
wouldn't just play with anybody.
00:25:48.71\00:25:51.05
Well, I'm, I took you up,
00:25:51.08\00:25:53.05
I took him up on that challenge,
00:25:53.08\00:25:54.82
so I said, "You know what?"
00:25:54.85\00:25:56.42
But I went to
my Facebook friends
00:25:56.45\00:25:58.29
and I said,
"Now what should I do
00:25:58.32\00:26:00.79
because I've got a nine-year-old
00:26:00.82\00:26:03.06
who's challenged me in ping-pong
00:26:03.09\00:26:06.29
and I showed a little
bit of the challenge."
00:26:06.33\00:26:09.06
And you know
what they said to me,
00:26:09.10\00:26:10.50
instead of encouraging me,
00:26:10.57\00:26:12.50
Facebook friends,
instead of encouraging me,
00:26:12.53\00:26:15.04
they said stuff like,
00:26:15.07\00:26:16.40
"You better fake a hip accident.
00:26:16.44\00:26:19.21
You better, you know,
00:26:19.24\00:26:20.58
make sure that
something's wrong with you.
00:26:20.61\00:26:22.81
You better find
excuses not to play
00:26:22.84\00:26:25.71
because this kid's
going to take you down."
00:26:25.75\00:26:28.42
Now I said,
"What in the world..."
00:26:28.45\00:26:30.29
So I said, "Well,
let me think about it.
00:26:30.32\00:26:32.45
I'll have to do something."
00:26:32.49\00:26:33.86
So I invited him over to
the basement of our house
00:26:33.89\00:26:37.43
and said, "Come on
over and let's play."
00:26:37.46\00:26:40.03
I said "ping-pong",
but they corrected me,
00:26:40.10\00:26:41.86
it's table tennis.
00:26:41.90\00:26:43.23
So I want to put on
this video, you're gonna see
00:26:43.26\00:26:47.14
and I'm not gonna tell
you that I beat him now
00:26:47.20\00:26:50.77
or anything like that,
00:26:50.81\00:26:53.14
but I was very tempted,
with our technology we have,
00:26:53.17\00:26:57.41
you know, you can make
anything look like one of those,
00:26:57.45\00:27:00.15
so I thought, I think for Kenai,
00:27:00.18\00:27:02.58
I should put one just
that shows me beating him,
00:27:02.62\00:27:05.45
I couldn't really do that.
00:27:05.49\00:27:06.99
These kids are
incredible at what they do.
00:27:07.02\00:27:08.92
And we had a
blast, it's a great fun,
00:27:08.96\00:27:10.99
I'll remember for a long time
and hopefully, they will too
00:27:11.03\00:27:14.60
and we ended up
00:27:14.63\00:27:15.96
after it was all
over praying together
00:27:16.00\00:27:18.17
and eating pizza together.
00:27:18.20\00:27:20.44
So why don't we go to
this little video now?
00:27:20.47\00:27:24.71
The moment has come.
00:27:24.74\00:27:26.51
We have received
Itziar and Kenai here
00:27:26.54\00:27:29.68
in Thompsonville,
00:27:29.71\00:27:31.05
Illinois, at the
3ABN Community Center
00:27:31.08\00:27:34.02
waiting for Danny
Shelton, that's right.
00:27:34.05\00:27:36.72
Danny Shelton, do you remember
00:27:36.79\00:27:38.92
what you wrote here on Facebook?
00:27:38.95\00:27:41.09
You said, "I'm
blind in my right eye.
00:27:41.12\00:27:44.59
I'm a grandfather
of eight grandkids
00:27:44.63\00:27:47.60
and I'll start and
you can start draining
00:27:47.66\00:27:50.53
or gaining social security, ha,"
00:27:50.57\00:27:53.40
You say, "I wonder if
you'll feel bad beating me."
00:27:53.44\00:27:56.34
They won't.
00:27:56.37\00:27:57.94
"What goes around comes
around, about 40 years ago,
00:27:57.97\00:28:01.71
I beat a
one-legged man in ping-pong
00:28:01.74\00:28:04.88
and only felt a
little guilty about it."
00:28:04.91\00:28:08.12
I'll tell you what?
00:28:08.15\00:28:09.62
You have no chance,
Danny, and sorry to tell you,
00:28:09.65\00:28:13.72
they have played against players
00:28:13.79\00:28:15.66
as six feet four inches tall,
and they have won the match.
00:28:15.69\00:28:20.43
So we are excited
for this opportunity.
00:28:20.46\00:28:23.50
I hope you have been
training and warming up
00:28:23.57\00:28:25.83
because you're in for the match.
00:28:25.87\00:28:28.14
It's the match of the year.
00:28:28.17\00:28:30.01
My kids are ready for you.
00:28:30.04\00:28:31.91
Are you?
00:28:31.94\00:28:33.68
The day is finally
here and I'm gonna beat you.
00:28:33.71\00:28:35.94
You guys, ready to warm up?
00:28:39.21\00:28:40.92
Yes.
00:28:40.95\00:28:42.92
Let's do this.
00:28:42.95\00:28:45.32
Let's do this.
00:28:45.35\00:28:49.26
You guys, all right, come
here, let's put the racket here
00:28:49.29\00:28:52.09
and let's do some
leg warm-up, okay?
00:28:52.13\00:28:53.53
Yeah. Let's go like this.
00:28:53.60\00:28:54.93
Come on, come on, go, go, go.
00:28:54.93\00:28:56.83
Good, good, come here, Itziar.
00:28:56.87\00:29:01.27
And turn around.
00:29:01.30\00:29:04.84
I trained four hours a day,
00:29:04.87\00:29:06.61
I doubt you even
do less than one.
00:29:06.64\00:29:09.24
I've been
playing most of my life.
00:29:14.65\00:29:18.85
This is table
tennis, not ping-pong,
00:29:18.89\00:29:22.19
you're not
playing ping-pong here,
00:29:22.22\00:29:23.86
we're playing table
tennis and it takes skills,
00:29:23.89\00:29:27.36
it takes a lot of
practice and concentration.
00:29:27.40\00:29:31.17
Right, guys? Yes.
00:29:31.20\00:29:33.54
Here we go, table tennis.
00:29:33.57\00:29:35.97
I was waiting for
this moment one week ago.
00:29:36.00\00:29:38.67
And I'm ready for it.
00:29:41.71\00:29:43.45
Sometimes, I do some chops.
00:29:43.48\00:29:48.02
Maybe intense ones
00:29:48.05\00:29:49.42
that Danny
Shelton would never get,
00:29:49.45\00:29:51.42
receive those.
00:29:51.45\00:29:53.12
I am positive.
00:29:53.15\00:29:55.39
I'm positive that
gonna take a gallop,
00:29:55.42\00:30:00.40
side spin, top
spin, chop, and attack.
00:30:00.43\00:30:05.17
I'm gonna do side spin,
top spin, and the tricker.
00:30:08.74\00:30:15.01
Sorry, I missed it,
oh, this is the tricker.
00:30:15.04\00:30:17.41
It looks like I'm
gonna put it over there,
00:30:20.42\00:30:22.62
but I actually put it...
00:30:22.65\00:30:23.99
My trick is to
beat him no matter what.
00:30:24.05\00:30:26.62
Are these
ping-pong players here?
00:30:29.62\00:30:33.06
Hi, here.
00:30:33.09\00:30:34.56
I may come, I wanna see him.
00:30:34.56\00:30:36.30
I wanna, no, I'm
not one to make excuses
00:30:40.47\00:30:44.81
about getting beat or anything,
00:30:44.84\00:30:47.31
so I just want you to know
00:30:47.34\00:30:49.61
that it's been a
while and things,
00:30:49.64\00:30:53.28
can we talk a
little bit before we play?
00:30:53.35\00:30:55.18
Now, hi, boys.
00:30:59.25\00:31:03.66
Sorry, I can't. This
is, you know what that is?
00:31:03.73\00:31:06.59
That's
biofreeze, that's when you,
00:31:06.63\00:31:08.56
when you get older,
it'll be a constant companion,
00:31:08.60\00:31:11.63
you spray that on you.
00:31:11.67\00:31:13.13
Now before we play a
little bit, I got to ask,
00:31:13.17\00:31:15.64
let me sit over here, okay?
00:31:15.67\00:31:20.04
Okay, now,
00:31:20.08\00:31:23.55
I think I got a
challenge from you on Facebook,
00:31:23.61\00:31:28.02
is that right?
00:31:28.05\00:31:29.38
Yeah.
00:31:29.42\00:31:30.75
And you called me out to play?
00:31:30.79\00:31:32.59
Yeah.
00:31:32.62\00:31:33.96
And I asked some
of my Facebook friends
00:31:34.02\00:31:36.46
what I should do and
they watched you play
00:31:36.49\00:31:39.66
and you know what they said?
00:31:39.69\00:31:41.00
What?
00:31:41.03\00:31:42.36
You better act like you're hurt
'cause you're gonna get beat.
00:31:42.40\00:31:45.33
So make some excuses, so
I thought, "What can I do?"
00:31:45.37\00:31:50.34
Got me a cane, band-aids,
00:31:50.37\00:31:54.84
now I'm hoping you'll
feel sorry for me, so...
00:31:54.88\00:31:57.71
What?
00:31:57.75\00:31:59.31
You're not going
to feel sorry for me?
00:31:59.35\00:32:00.75
It's funny.
00:32:00.82\00:32:02.15
You're not gonna
feel sorry for...
00:32:02.18\00:32:03.52
Well, let me ask you this.
00:32:03.59\00:32:05.42
How old are you?
00:32:05.45\00:32:06.79
Twelve. Twelve.
00:32:06.86\00:32:08.19
How old are you? Nine.
00:32:08.22\00:32:09.56
Nine.
00:32:09.59\00:32:10.93
I'm 65, you know how old
65 is, how old is your dad?
00:32:10.96\00:32:15.00
Forty five... Forty eight.
00:32:15.03\00:32:16.63
Forty eight and
twelve is sixty and you're,
00:32:16.67\00:32:20.10
so I'm as old as
you and your dad, you,
00:32:20.14\00:32:22.80
both of you boys and
your dad put together.
00:32:22.84\00:32:24.94
Now, will that have you a
little mercy on me, maybe?
00:32:24.97\00:32:27.78
No. You guys are tough.
00:32:27.81\00:32:30.45
Okay.
00:32:30.51\00:32:32.28
Do you know anything
about social security?
00:32:32.31\00:32:35.15
Like, when you get real old,
00:32:35.18\00:32:36.58
you get to draw social security,
00:32:36.65\00:32:38.02
I get to draw
social security now.
00:32:38.05\00:32:40.12
No, there's not any.
00:32:40.16\00:32:41.49
There's no, okay, now,
I'm blind in my right eye,
00:32:41.52\00:32:44.96
will that help any?
00:32:44.99\00:32:46.53
No. No.
00:32:46.56\00:32:47.93
Okay, I've got a severed ACO
which I really do in my right,
00:32:47.96\00:32:51.90
now will that have
you any mercy on me?
00:32:51.93\00:32:53.80
No.
00:32:53.87\00:32:56.87
Well, you guys are tough.
00:32:56.94\00:32:58.94
No excuses.
00:32:58.97\00:33:00.38
No excuses,
these guys are tough.
00:33:00.41\00:33:03.18
All right, well, I'm gonna try
00:33:03.21\00:33:04.68
and see if I can
get rid of the cane.
00:33:04.71\00:33:07.32
Oh, and get rid of the arm band,
00:33:07.35\00:33:10.12
don't worry about this,
00:33:10.19\00:33:11.52
make you feel bad
at all beating me,
00:33:11.55\00:33:13.56
when I'm in this bad
a shape, just a little.
00:33:13.59\00:33:15.56
Little kind of,
00:33:20.60\00:33:22.83
oh, hey, that made
me feel a little better
00:33:22.86\00:33:24.97
I'm gonna pull this off now.
00:33:25.00\00:33:28.07
I'm starting to feel better now,
00:33:28.10\00:33:29.97
okay, I'm feeling little better.
00:33:30.01\00:33:32.54
I'm feeling a
little better so much
00:33:32.57\00:33:34.14
my mike came to stay with me,
00:33:34.18\00:33:35.51
I'm ready to
play some ping-pong,
00:33:35.54\00:33:37.55
now who's first?
00:33:37.61\00:33:38.95
Me Me.
00:33:38.98\00:33:40.32
No, I'm going little ones first.
00:33:40.35\00:33:41.68
Okay.
00:33:41.72\00:33:43.12
Now, you won't let me, you know,
00:33:43.15\00:33:45.45
I bought this table new
and I bought me a new paddle.
00:33:45.49\00:33:50.13
What's that? My paddle.
00:33:50.19\00:33:52.39
That's a paddle,
that's thicker than my leg.
00:33:52.43\00:33:55.86
Well, let me see that,
00:33:55.90\00:33:57.23
oh, I bet that
probably cost 20 bucks.
00:33:57.30\00:33:59.73
No.
00:33:59.77\00:34:01.17
Nothing, my brother,
00:34:01.20\00:34:02.54
my dad's racket costs like $500.
00:34:02.57\00:34:04.54
What? Yeah.
00:34:04.57\00:34:06.14
These are sweating
off, now when I hear that,
00:34:09.68\00:34:11.91
they won't even stick.
00:34:11.95\00:34:13.45
How many more do I have up here?
00:34:13.52\00:34:15.82
All right, now, you guys
don't spin I hope, right?
00:34:15.85\00:34:18.32
You don't, like spin
the ball when you hit.
00:34:18.35\00:34:20.16
Yes, we do.
00:34:20.19\00:34:21.76
I don't know how to get...
00:34:21.79\00:34:23.12
That's what I said in the video,
00:34:23.16\00:34:24.49
we're gonna do the side spin.
00:34:24.53\00:34:25.86
You did a spin.
00:34:25.89\00:34:27.23
All right, let me
show you my paddles,
00:34:27.30\00:34:28.60
see what you think about it.
00:34:28.63\00:34:29.96
I figured if I bought
like, if I'm playing basketball
00:34:30.00\00:34:32.40
and I bought a new basketball
00:34:32.43\00:34:34.37
and I bought a new suit
that said, Stephan Curry,
00:34:34.40\00:34:36.97
it would make me
be a great player,
00:34:37.01\00:34:39.44
so I said, if I buy a
new table and a new paddle,
00:34:39.47\00:34:42.74
that will make me,
00:34:42.78\00:34:44.11
even I haven't
played in 15 years,
00:34:44.15\00:34:45.48
so this will make me a
good player, is that right?
00:34:45.51\00:34:47.62
No. No.
00:34:47.65\00:34:49.62
It takes practice.
Don't think that'll help me?
00:34:49.65\00:34:52.42
Well, okay, look at this now.
00:34:52.45\00:34:54.29
Did that scare you? No.
00:34:57.39\00:34:59.79
Nothing scares you, does it?
00:34:59.83\00:35:02.00
Have mercy.
00:35:02.03\00:35:03.37
Now you don't feel bad,
00:35:03.40\00:35:04.73
I've only played
once or twice in 15 years,
00:35:04.77\00:35:06.40
you don't feel bad about that?
00:35:06.43\00:35:08.47
Uh-huh.
00:35:08.50\00:35:09.84
Okay, all right, now,
you got to take it easy on me
00:35:09.87\00:35:12.51
and first, right?
00:35:12.54\00:35:14.01
Is that how you warm-up?
00:35:22.38\00:35:24.42
Yeah.
00:35:24.45\00:35:25.95
You warm-up like this?
00:35:25.99\00:35:29.89
What?
00:35:29.92\00:35:31.26
All right, take that.
00:35:37.43\00:35:41.34
May not, may not happen
again the rest of the day,
00:35:41.37\00:35:44.01
I just tucked my
paddle out and it went back.
00:35:44.07\00:35:46.27
Five-two.
00:36:10.90\00:36:12.43
That makes you happy.
00:36:16.07\00:36:17.41
Eight-seven, that made me happy.
00:36:20.68\00:36:22.51
Oh, no, that wasn't good.
00:36:29.35\00:36:31.02
Oh.
00:36:37.26\00:36:38.69
Eleven, all.
00:36:38.73\00:36:41.60
Overtime.
00:36:41.63\00:36:42.96
Ha-ha, I knew you
can't see in the right eye.
00:36:47.10\00:36:52.51
Okay, I got to hand it to you,
I gotta hand it to you, buddy,
00:36:52.54\00:36:55.38
that's tough.
00:36:55.41\00:36:57.11
That's what I like,
you've got the killer instinct.
00:36:57.15\00:37:00.35
Don't give up when
your competitor competes.
00:37:00.38\00:37:04.02
Oh, I don't if that's legal
to use your right hand or not,
00:37:04.05\00:37:06.39
is it when you're playing left?
00:37:06.42\00:37:07.76
No, it isn't.
00:37:07.79\00:37:09.12
What? It's not!
00:37:09.16\00:37:10.49
Who made that rule?
00:37:10.56\00:37:12.29
You're ambidextrous.
00:37:12.33\00:37:15.86
Yeah, it's my house,
I can do what I want to.
00:37:15.90\00:37:19.33
We don't care about the rules.
00:37:19.37\00:37:23.94
Five-two.
00:37:24.01\00:37:25.34
You're messing
with the wrong person.
00:37:25.37\00:37:26.78
Oh, no. I hit my own finger.
00:37:47.96\00:37:49.96
I've had a little mercy so
far, man, let me talk to you.
00:38:02.58\00:38:08.38
All right, wait a minute.
00:38:08.42\00:38:10.52
Good game.
00:38:25.00\00:38:26.33
You know, I just
want folks at home
00:38:30.04\00:38:31.64
that know I have mercy
on kids when they come.
00:38:31.67\00:38:34.38
You can tell I
was just not trying.
00:38:34.41\00:38:38.28
Not even close.
Forgive me, Lord.
00:38:38.31\00:38:40.62
No even close.
00:38:40.65\00:38:41.98
These guys are great,
00:38:42.02\00:38:43.39
but I know I can
beat you again now,
00:38:43.42\00:38:44.75
after playing him.
00:38:44.79\00:38:46.12
Get up here.
00:38:46.15\00:38:47.49
You get up here.
00:38:47.52\00:38:48.86
Just another ball.
00:38:55.43\00:38:59.00
Okay. Let's see you do this.
00:38:59.03\00:39:00.87
Now you're making me mad.
00:39:04.87\00:39:06.27
Okay, it's all right.
00:39:10.38\00:39:11.71
Now get ready,
go down like a man.
00:39:14.88\00:39:17.42
Okay, 12-10,
00:39:17.45\00:39:20.89
get that on camera,
00:39:20.92\00:39:22.72
erase, erase everything else.
00:39:22.76\00:39:25.93
Erase all the other
video. Good job, son.
00:39:25.96\00:39:28.53
You said, erase everything.
00:39:31.67\00:39:34.04
Yeah, finally, got a point
that erased everything else.
00:39:34.07\00:39:39.71
That was so good, you know,
00:39:39.74\00:39:42.11
one of the things that
I love about what you do
00:39:42.14\00:39:45.28
is that it opens up
doors for you to talk to people
00:39:45.31\00:39:49.32
who would never
know anything about God.
00:39:49.35\00:39:51.95
Didi, tell us a
little bit about,
00:39:51.99\00:39:54.46
you were telling
me something yesterday
00:39:54.49\00:39:56.46
about who the children play with
00:39:56.49\00:39:59.19
and, and how they
are being impacted by,
00:39:59.23\00:40:02.53
by the spirituality of the kids.
00:40:02.56\00:40:05.17
Yes.
00:40:05.20\00:40:06.70
God is amazing.
00:40:06.74\00:40:08.84
We're from Fox
Valley Church in Neenah
00:40:08.87\00:40:12.17
and we talk about to pastor
00:40:12.21\00:40:14.98
Cha Ahn and Paul Corner
00:40:15.01\00:40:17.41
to see if there's a
possibility that we can start
00:40:17.45\00:40:21.72
a table tennis
club in the church.
00:40:21.75\00:40:24.25
And my husband, he
decides to spend his time
00:40:24.29\00:40:27.52
and give free lesson,
table tennis lesson there,
00:40:27.56\00:40:30.96
that actually I
think is the only place
00:40:30.99\00:40:33.90
and always consented
give free table tennis lessons
00:40:33.96\00:40:37.40
to the community,
00:40:37.43\00:40:38.77
so at the same
time, we want to use that
00:40:38.80\00:40:41.87
because you open to the
community the facilities
00:40:41.90\00:40:44.81
and they give us the opportunity
00:40:44.84\00:40:47.11
to use the table tennis platform
00:40:47.14\00:40:49.41
to spread God's word.
00:40:49.44\00:40:51.11
So it's incredible how
the, how we, right now,
00:40:51.15\00:40:54.42
we have a Chinese
family, we have Monk family,
00:40:54.45\00:40:57.99
they don't know about God,
00:40:58.02\00:41:00.49
they have their own
believers and it's incredible
00:41:00.56\00:41:03.09
because they know
that we are Christian,
00:41:03.12\00:41:06.59
that we keep
holy the commandments,
00:41:06.63\00:41:08.76
that our table tennis
club, our name is God's Air
00:41:08.80\00:41:14.24
and they come and
they enjoy it with us,
00:41:14.27\00:41:17.61
not only table tennis,
00:41:17.64\00:41:19.31
they are enjoying
with us God's word
00:41:19.34\00:41:22.68
because we start every practice
reading something about Jesus
00:41:22.71\00:41:27.68
and we finally pray
and they make reverence
00:41:27.72\00:41:32.29
and they're still
there hearing God's word.
00:41:32.32\00:41:35.92
It is incredible how God
is working through this port
00:41:35.96\00:41:40.93
and that's one of the story,
00:41:40.96\00:41:42.80
God are doing amazing
things through our ministry.
00:41:42.83\00:41:46.07
So we are so happy and we are,
00:41:46.10\00:41:48.87
and we feel
blessing and thankful to God
00:41:48.90\00:41:52.04
because we feel that
He was there all the time
00:41:52.07\00:41:55.58
and I'm pretty
sure that very soon
00:41:55.61\00:41:59.15
God is gonna do
something amazing
00:41:59.18\00:42:02.62
in all this family.
00:42:02.65\00:42:04.82
Absolutely. Great, that's great.
00:42:04.85\00:42:06.55
And you were telling me, Pablo,
00:42:06.59\00:42:08.39
that a lot of
the people you play,
00:42:08.42\00:42:11.96
you know, they may be
from Oriental or Indian
00:42:11.99\00:42:15.20
and a lot of 'cause
this is a universal game,
00:42:15.23\00:42:18.67
and so you have a
chance to witness to them
00:42:18.70\00:42:21.54
about the Lord and
the very fact that you,
00:42:21.57\00:42:24.64
the messages that you're
giving what's on your jacket,
00:42:24.67\00:42:27.94
now I also
understand that you had
00:42:27.98\00:42:29.64
a year's
sponsorship from Butterfly.
00:42:29.68\00:42:32.78
Tell us about Butterfly
in case someone doesn't know
00:42:32.81\00:42:36.02
who Butterfly is.
00:42:36.05\00:42:37.65
Well, Butterfly would be,
what it is Nike to basketball.
00:42:37.69\00:42:42.12
Okay.
00:42:42.16\00:42:43.49
So Butterfly would
be that top selling,
00:42:43.53\00:42:44.86
most of the top selling brands
in table tennis equipment.
00:42:44.89\00:42:47.46
Yes.
00:42:47.50\00:42:48.80
So it was sponsored for one year
00:42:48.83\00:42:50.20
and they saw them playing
and they decided to sponsor
00:42:50.23\00:42:54.07
and we did tell them,
00:42:54.10\00:42:55.44
"Are you sure
what you want to do?
00:42:55.47\00:42:56.81
We do not play on a Saturday.
00:42:56.84\00:42:58.37
I know there's,
you want you're here,
00:42:58.41\00:43:01.11
your brand to be seen."
00:43:01.14\00:43:02.71
And they really didn't
pay much attention to that,
00:43:02.74\00:43:05.31
they were very kind.
00:43:05.35\00:43:06.92
Ravagers from Puerto
Rico was very kind with us
00:43:06.95\00:43:10.12
and he sponsored them for a year
00:43:10.19\00:43:13.22
and he helped us put a table
00:43:13.25\00:43:15.19
to acquire a table tennis, yeah.
00:43:15.22\00:43:16.96
Wonderful.
00:43:17.03\00:43:18.36
Well, I had this idea
and I'd kind of like to do,
00:43:18.39\00:43:20.33
I talked to Yvonne about
it, that we talked to a donor
00:43:20.40\00:43:26.47
that is willing
to put up some money
00:43:26.50\00:43:29.34
on behalf of
3ABN, not a lot of money
00:43:29.37\00:43:32.07
but a sponsorship
because we want you,
00:43:32.11\00:43:34.84
as you are traveling
to the different places,
00:43:34.88\00:43:37.78
to have 3ABN on
your jackets, right?
00:43:37.81\00:43:40.28
Not just
Butterfly or somebody else,
00:43:40.32\00:43:43.59
but people are gonna ask
you, "Well, 3ABN, who is that?"
00:43:43.65\00:43:47.42
Then you can tell them
how to download the apps
00:43:47.46\00:43:49.56
on their phones and their iPads
00:43:49.59\00:43:51.86
and how to go to the computer
and how to watch on television,
00:43:51.89\00:43:54.93
so we'll give
you some literature,
00:43:54.93\00:43:57.03
some little about
3ABN, how to watch 3ABN
00:43:57.10\00:44:00.84
and all the different
channels, we have our Latino
00:44:00.87\00:44:03.27
and, Kenai, we have
our Kids' Time Network
00:44:03.30\00:44:06.51
and so we're gonna introduce
you guys to Miss Brenda too,
00:44:06.54\00:44:09.24
'cause I'm sure she'll
wanna do some programs with you.
00:44:09.28\00:44:11.98
Did you ever watch Kids' Time?
00:44:12.01\00:44:13.35
Yeah. Yeah.
00:44:13.42\00:44:14.75
Yeah, you
remember watching that.
00:44:14.78\00:44:16.12
Okay, and you
remember Miss Brenda,
00:44:16.15\00:44:17.59
she's gonna be very
excited to meet you guys
00:44:17.62\00:44:20.86
and I'm sure she'll be
able to work with you too.
00:44:20.89\00:44:23.36
Then I think Tita is gonna work
with the Dinzeys from Latino
00:44:23.43\00:44:28.33
but what I would like to do,
00:44:28.36\00:44:29.96
we have somebody, so we'll have,
00:44:30.03\00:44:31.87
we're gonna help
with the sponsorship
00:44:31.90\00:44:33.74
because when we see a family
that's dedicated to the Lord
00:44:33.80\00:44:37.81
and there are
people who believe,
00:44:37.84\00:44:40.48
they live what they believe
00:44:40.54\00:44:42.18
and keeping the
seventh-day Sabbath
00:44:42.21\00:44:44.71
is very important to them,
00:44:44.75\00:44:46.08
so they're missing
tremendous opportunities
00:44:46.11\00:44:48.72
as far as world acclaim goes
00:44:48.75\00:44:50.99
but that's not what
they're looking for,
00:44:51.02\00:44:52.95
but they're using
it as an opportunity
00:44:52.99\00:44:55.62
to witness as to
why we don't play
00:44:55.66\00:44:58.13
on the Sabbath
00:44:58.16\00:44:59.79
and as they get
older in the next four,
00:44:59.83\00:45:01.56
if you can imagine what
they become in four years,
00:45:01.60\00:45:03.97
four years from
now where they will be,
00:45:04.00\00:45:06.23
at the levels
they'll be playing.
00:45:06.27\00:45:08.34
Yes.
00:45:08.37\00:45:09.70
I think they'll
get world acclaim
00:45:09.74\00:45:12.14
because they have the dedication
00:45:12.17\00:45:14.11
and the talent to do it,
but we want to support them
00:45:14.18\00:45:18.35
because they're uplifting Jesus
00:45:18.38\00:45:20.52
and so what we're gonna
do is we're gonna try to,
00:45:20.55\00:45:23.25
we're gonna ask
our viewers at home
00:45:23.28\00:45:25.49
that if you
would like to support,
00:45:25.52\00:45:27.09
because they really,
00:45:27.16\00:45:29.32
they don't really
have the money to do this,
00:45:29.36\00:45:31.46
it's something they've decided
to do in spite of the fact
00:45:31.49\00:45:35.03
that it actually cost
money and they go to tournaments
00:45:35.06\00:45:38.23
and they go to
different churches,
00:45:38.27\00:45:39.67
to go to places to witness,
it's a ministry, this says,
00:45:39.70\00:45:43.77
Limitless Sports Ministry,
00:45:43.81\00:45:45.97
and we serve a God
00:45:46.01\00:45:47.34
that's not
limited in the resources.
00:45:47.38\00:45:48.94
That's right, that's right.
00:45:48.98\00:45:50.31
So we're actually
gonna ask some of you,
00:45:50.35\00:45:52.48
if you feel like
giving $50 dollars or $100
00:45:52.51\00:45:55.98
or maybe even a
$1000 or whether it's $10,
00:45:56.02\00:45:58.99
I'd like to put an address up
on the screen in just a moment
00:45:59.02\00:46:02.19
and you pray and
say, "You know what?
00:46:02.22\00:46:04.16
I wanna support this family
00:46:04.19\00:46:05.59
because they're
going as a family."
00:46:05.63\00:46:07.36
They're gonna go into areas
that you and I could never go.
00:46:07.40\00:46:09.53
That's right.
00:46:09.56\00:46:10.90
I mean, we have to
face it, we would never get
00:46:10.97\00:46:12.63
and to meet some of the people
00:46:12.67\00:46:14.97
that are some of the
top players in the world
00:46:15.00\00:46:18.47
and to be able
to witness to them
00:46:18.51\00:46:20.78
and to talk to them
00:46:20.81\00:46:22.41
and just what they
wear on their coat.
00:46:22.44\00:46:24.55
Yes.
00:46:24.58\00:46:25.91
The ping-pong
balls, what they say,
00:46:25.95\00:46:28.05
and people respect,
whether we like it or not,
00:46:28.08\00:46:30.82
they, it's like, Yvonne,
00:46:30.89\00:46:32.85
Miss Yvonne has
boys, seven or eight gold
00:46:32.89\00:46:36.49
and platinum records,
you know what that is?
00:46:36.52\00:46:38.66
When you sell a million records
and that's a platinum, right?
00:46:38.69\00:46:42.73
Yeah.
00:46:42.76\00:46:44.13
Is gold a half a million,
half a million and, people,
00:46:44.17\00:46:46.63
she sang with
people like Whitney Houston
00:46:46.70\00:46:49.04
who are famous singers
00:46:49.07\00:46:50.41
and Luther Vandross,
00:46:50.47\00:46:51.94
I know the boys
don't recognize the name,
00:46:51.97\00:46:54.04
Mom's jaw went, just
down, when I said that,
00:46:54.08\00:46:57.41
so she has these
gold and platinum records,
00:46:57.45\00:47:00.78
but she gives God
the honor and glory...
00:47:00.85\00:47:02.72
Amen. For that.
00:47:02.75\00:47:04.12
She doesn't take it
but that's a witness
00:47:04.15\00:47:06.19
because people in the
world are impressed by that,
00:47:06.22\00:47:09.06
so it opens a
door for her to be,
00:47:09.09\00:47:11.83
now we travel a lot,
00:47:11.86\00:47:13.19
when we travel
together on the airplane,
00:47:13.23\00:47:15.10
she'll never bring it up
00:47:15.13\00:47:16.46
but if I see someone's
interested or they talk music,
00:47:16.50\00:47:19.10
then I'll bring it
up and talk about her,
00:47:19.13\00:47:22.24
you know, that and
then she can witness to them
00:47:22.27\00:47:24.31
about Jesus
00:47:24.34\00:47:25.67
and that's the kind of doors
God is opening for you all.
00:47:25.71\00:47:28.11
Yes, Danny, this is
something maybe you don't know
00:47:28.14\00:47:31.98
but when we...
00:47:32.01\00:47:34.72
Idalia called us to
give us an invitation
00:47:34.75\00:47:39.09
to come here to 3ABN,
00:47:39.12\00:47:41.06
we are so excited
because that is like a promise
00:47:41.09\00:47:44.83
that God gave me years ago
00:47:44.86\00:47:48.33
but at the same
time, I was very excited,
00:47:48.36\00:47:50.43
she tell me this is
gonna be one day of interview,
00:47:50.47\00:47:52.87
then she said, "Okay, send
me some recommendation letters
00:47:52.90\00:47:56.87
and more profile
about the ministry."
00:47:56.91\00:47:59.17
And she called me back in
a few days and she's like,
00:47:59.21\00:48:02.44
"I'm asking to
see it is possible
00:48:02.48\00:48:05.91
that you can be
with us a whole week."
00:48:05.95\00:48:08.65
I'm like, "A whole week!
That long takes an interview."
00:48:08.68\00:48:12.02
And she said, 'No, no, we
want, that you to do everything,
00:48:12.05\00:48:15.12
would you visit the churches
00:48:15.16\00:48:16.79
and the
academies and everything?
00:48:16.86\00:48:18.73
And I said, "Well
that's great, of course."
00:48:18.76\00:48:22.33
But in that moment,
I was very emotional
00:48:22.36\00:48:25.40
and when two hours
later, I, you know,
00:48:25.43\00:48:29.17
understand the
information how it is,
00:48:29.20\00:48:33.31
I said, "Yes, we
don't have a car.
00:48:33.38\00:48:35.91
We have an old car
00:48:35.94\00:48:37.38
that we only can
travel pushing a little bit,
00:48:37.45\00:48:40.32
the car to me
walk it and that's it."
00:48:40.35\00:48:42.65
So I said, "We
have to rent a car."
00:48:42.68\00:48:45.25
And in that moment,
00:48:45.29\00:48:46.76
we don't have
money to rent a car
00:48:46.79\00:48:49.49
and it's incredible
00:48:49.52\00:48:50.86
because nobody know
about our situation,
00:48:50.93\00:48:55.23
nobody, even my mom, my
sister, nobody and I said,
00:48:55.26\00:49:00.07
"Pablo, we're going
to 3ABN a whole week."
00:49:00.10\00:49:02.40
He said, "Oh! That's amazing."
00:49:02.44\00:49:04.37
"How are we gonna do it?
00:49:04.41\00:49:06.01
Our car is so old."
00:49:06.04\00:49:07.64
And said, "I don't
know. Let's see what happens."
00:49:07.68\00:49:10.78
I was a little bit worried
and I let some day pass to see
00:49:10.81\00:49:14.92
if God, you know, do a
miracle but nothing happened
00:49:14.95\00:49:18.69
and Idalia and
some people of 3ABN,
00:49:18.72\00:49:20.69
"Everything is okay
here, we have this set."
00:49:20.72\00:49:22.56
And, "Oh, yeah,
everything is running okay."
00:49:22.59\00:49:24.69
And then we received a
call from Dr. Paul Corners,
00:49:24.73\00:49:28.83
he's one of our sponsors
and he say, "You know what?
00:49:28.86\00:49:34.14
You got the car,
00:49:34.17\00:49:36.37
I pay for the car
for the whole week."
00:49:36.40\00:49:39.14
And we started
jumping in the house,
00:49:39.17\00:49:40.98
"Oh yeah, we got the
car, that's awesome."
00:49:41.01\00:49:44.31
So in a moment, we
say, "Okay, we have the car,
00:49:44.35\00:49:47.02
but we don't have the gas.
00:49:47.05\00:49:48.62
How are we
gonna pay for the gas?
00:49:48.65\00:49:50.59
Maybe we have the
money to put gas in the car
00:49:50.62\00:49:53.86
just to Chicago
but not returning."
00:49:53.89\00:49:55.99
I'm like, "Okay," and I say,
"Well, if God gave us a car.
00:49:56.02\00:50:01.66
God, He's very smart,
00:50:01.70\00:50:04.27
so He's gonna give us the gas."
00:50:04.30\00:50:07.20
But it's incredible,
we went to the church
00:50:07.24\00:50:11.61
and Dr. Corner, Dr. Paul
Corner gave us the envelope,
00:50:11.64\00:50:16.81
white envelope, he
said, it's incredible.
00:50:16.85\00:50:19.81
Look at this, nobody
know about the situation
00:50:19.85\00:50:24.05
and Paul Corner gave us
this envelope and he said,
00:50:24.09\00:50:27.76
"This is a
family from the church.
00:50:27.79\00:50:30.29
We don't know who
they are right now
00:50:30.33\00:50:32.93
that gave this money
for helping for the gas."
00:50:32.96\00:50:38.47
Okay. Was it
specific to our need?
00:50:38.50\00:50:42.27
He can say,
00:50:42.30\00:50:43.64
"Oh, they said this is
for helping to the travel."
00:50:43.67\00:50:46.21
No, for the gas.
00:50:46.24\00:50:48.01
I still crying,
but oh, my goodness,
00:50:48.04\00:50:51.28
isn't God amazing?
00:50:51.31\00:50:53.65
And then another,
the family that helped us
00:50:53.68\00:50:56.55
to write the ping-pong balls,
00:50:56.62\00:50:58.15
they went at home and
they give Itziar and Kenai,
00:50:58.19\00:51:01.52
they bring a travel
box with a lot of snacks,
00:51:01.56\00:51:05.23
some travel cards for
the kids and everything
00:51:05.26\00:51:08.33
and another
family helped us too.
00:51:08.36\00:51:12.57
So we are here
by the mercy of God
00:51:12.60\00:51:16.54
and because God touched
the heart of these people
00:51:16.57\00:51:19.64
and the, a strange
thing about this is,
00:51:19.67\00:51:22.18
I asked everyone
apart, "Why do you do this?
00:51:22.21\00:51:26.05
How that can happen?
Nobody know about this.
00:51:26.08\00:51:29.68
Only God and us."
00:51:29.72\00:51:31.05
And he all, all, all they said,
"God put that in my heart."
00:51:31.09\00:51:35.59
All right, praise the Lord,
00:51:35.62\00:51:37.19
you know our time
is just about gone
00:51:37.23\00:51:38.66
but what I'd like to do
00:51:38.69\00:51:40.06
is I'd like to
put up their address
00:51:40.10\00:51:42.40
and if the Holy
Spirit's impressing you
00:51:42.43\00:51:44.63
and you want to
send whatever love gift
00:51:44.67\00:51:47.07
that the Holy
Spirit is impressing,
00:51:47.10\00:51:48.80
I know that this
family has a ministry
00:51:48.84\00:51:51.61
that's gonna make
an impact on the world.
00:51:51.64\00:51:54.11
They already are in
the world that they're in
00:51:54.14\00:51:57.01
but as these boys grow older
00:51:57.08\00:51:58.51
and abilities they
have and the talent.
00:51:58.55\00:52:00.92
And they're gonna be
able to witness to Jesus,
00:52:00.95\00:52:03.22
to people around the world.
00:52:03.25\00:52:04.89
