And together. 00:12:07.26\00:12:10.13 You've got a new focus and walk me through AWR 360? 00:12:10.16\00:12:13.56 Okay. 00:12:13.60\00:12:14.93 Let's see the pictures, we may look at that. 00:12:14.96\00:12:16.30 Yes. 00:12:16.33\00:12:17.67 And the first one we'll come up 00:12:17.70\00:12:19.03 and we'll just kind of go through it. 00:12:19.07\00:12:20.40 AWR 360 is we want to complete the circle. 00:12:20.44\00:12:24.57 You know, then that's again connecting the dots, 00:12:24.61\00:12:27.31 so that we are not just broadcast. 00:12:27.34\00:12:28.71 I think the next picture is very good at that. 00:12:28.74\00:12:30.75 We not only broadcast, but we also... 00:12:30.78\00:12:34.88 There it is, you see. 00:12:34.92\00:12:36.25 We want to broadcast, so it's broadcast to Baptism. 00:12:36.28\00:12:39.55 And that's what the focus is 00:12:39.59\00:12:40.92 broadcast right there to baptism. 00:12:40.96\00:12:42.29 From broadcast to baptism. 00:12:42.32\00:12:44.19 Amen. Amen. 00:12:44.23\00:12:45.56 So when I became President of AWR, 00:12:45.59\00:12:47.50 they tell me all these hundreds and hundreds and hundreds 00:12:47.53\00:12:49.46 and thousands of people that are watching the podcast 00:12:49.50\00:12:51.53 and everything around the world. 00:12:51.57\00:12:52.90 Very, very impressing numbers, enormous numbers. 00:12:52.93\00:12:54.60 Yeah. 00:12:54.64\00:12:55.97 I'm saying to myself, who are they? 00:12:56.00\00:12:58.14 Well said. Where does that go? 00:12:58.17\00:13:00.41 Are they really listening? 00:13:00.44\00:13:02.74 You know, what's happening in their lives? 00:13:02.78\00:13:04.41 So we got to somehow connect them to local churches 00:13:04.45\00:13:07.95 and that gets the job done. 00:13:07.98\00:13:09.45 Like a friend of mine said, he is a big, 00:13:09.48\00:13:10.99 he is a businessman, you know, who he is. 00:13:11.02\00:13:12.85 And he said to me, he said, "You know, and in business, 00:13:12.89\00:13:16.26 the deal is not done until the contract is signed." 00:13:16.29\00:13:18.03 Yes, sir. Close the deal. Yeah. 00:13:18.06\00:13:19.39 Close the deal. Close the deal. 00:13:19.43\00:13:21.36 And he said, "In your work, the deal is not done, 00:13:21.40\00:13:23.80 it's not finished until people are in the water or baptized." 00:13:23.83\00:13:27.97 And so that's my goal, you know, yes, 00:13:28.00\00:13:30.97 every means possible to communicate the gospel 00:13:31.01\00:13:33.38 through television, through radio, through podcast, 00:13:33.41\00:13:36.88 everything that we do. 00:13:36.91\00:13:38.25 Yeah. 00:13:38.28\00:13:39.61 But then somehow we got to connect them with local church. 00:13:39.65\00:13:41.05 Yeah. Plans. 00:13:41.08\00:13:42.42 Yeah. 00:13:42.45\00:13:43.79 You know, it occurs to me, I think there are those 00:13:43.82\00:13:45.15 who may think of that as rather mercenary, 00:13:45.19\00:13:47.19 but it is not, 00:13:47.22\00:13:48.56 it's actually the actual goal of evangelism. 00:13:48.59\00:13:50.23 That's right. 00:13:50.26\00:13:51.59 You don't just throw the hook in the water and let it just 00:13:51.63\00:13:54.13 kind of float, you want to get the fish down in that line, 00:13:54.16\00:13:55.63 you know. 00:13:55.66\00:13:57.00 And once you do you want to reel them in, you know, 00:13:57.03\00:13:59.60 you want to bring people to the truth. 00:13:59.63\00:14:01.90 And Jesus said, "Follow me, 00:14:01.94\00:14:03.27 and I will make you fishers of men." 00:14:03.30\00:14:04.64 Precisely, yeah. 00:14:04.67\00:14:06.01 Well, and from the listener's perspective, 00:14:06.04\00:14:07.38 if they want more information what a wonderful thing 00:14:07.41\00:14:08.74 to be able to follow up with them 00:14:08.78\00:14:10.11 and connect them with people 00:14:10.15\00:14:11.48 who can show them in the Bible more information. 00:14:11.51\00:14:12.95 Yeah. 00:14:12.98\00:14:14.32 You know, in addition to what they're hearing online 00:14:14.35\00:14:15.68 or on radio, which I mean is incredible. 00:14:15.72\00:14:18.85 Yeah, so your ultimate goal is to connect them 00:14:18.89\00:14:20.49 with the local fellowships so... 00:14:20.52\00:14:21.86 Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. 00:14:21.89\00:14:23.22 Yeah. 00:14:23.26\00:14:24.59 Now Jesus said, "Go into all the world and preach 00:14:24.63\00:14:25.96 and teach and baptize." 00:14:25.99\00:14:27.33 We have a commission by our Lord. 00:14:27.36\00:14:30.07 It's from the Bible. 00:14:30.10\00:14:31.43 Yeah. And so... 00:14:31.47\00:14:32.80 So the new focus if we were to put it in a centre 00:14:32.83\00:14:34.27 is to follow through. 00:14:34.30\00:14:35.64 Yeah. 00:14:35.67\00:14:37.01 It is to take it from what they hear sitting in their homes 00:14:37.04\00:14:38.44 how are they connecting to connection 00:14:38.47\00:14:40.61 with the local fellowship. 00:14:40.64\00:14:41.98 And that's how TMI fits into that very, very well. 00:14:42.01\00:14:44.88 Excellent, excellent. 00:14:44.91\00:14:46.25 Do you have more pictures?

It's amazing. 00:15:19.55\00:15:20.88 They live in a little village. 00:15:20.92\00:15:22.25 They're like the pygmies in the Congo, 00:15:22.28\00:15:24.52 we used to live there, we were there for 10 years. 00:15:24.55\00:15:26.55 And it's like the Bushmen in the Kalahari. 00:15:26.59\00:15:30.56 They live on little roots and animals. 00:15:30.59\00:15:33.46 And so now ADRA has come in and worked within, 00:15:33.50\00:15:35.70 that's part of the TMI. 00:15:35.73\00:15:37.07 Yeah, yeah. 00:15:37.10\00:15:38.43 And then ASI has gone in and then we build up 00:15:38.47\00:15:40.44 a beautiful school, thanks to Garwin, 00:15:40.47\00:15:44.17 the one day church project that we put that in there. 00:15:44.21\00:15:46.78 We drilled some wells from Southwestern Union and ADRA. 00:15:46.81\00:15:49.64 And so they've settled down, they're working 00:15:49.68\00:15:51.38 and it's just a miracle how this has all come about. 00:15:51.41\00:15:54.28 But two years ago, we gave them 200... 00:15:54.32\00:15:56.69 Godpods. 00:15:56.72\00:15:58.05 Oh, wow. Yeah. 00:15:58.09\00:15:59.42 And the Godpods have 100 hours on them of Bible, 00:15:59.45\00:16:05.93 health presentations, Bible studies. 00:16:05.96\00:16:09.83 And believe it or not, exercise. 00:16:09.86\00:16:15.34 It's healthy actually, stretching exercises. 00:16:15.37\00:16:16.97 I said, exercise, these people need exercise. 00:16:17.01\00:16:21.74 With the Godpods there's no radio connection there. 00:16:21.78\00:16:24.81 We're going to do that though, 00:16:24.85\00:16:26.18 we're going to put the station near them. 00:16:26.21\00:16:27.55 Oh, praise the Lord. But right now, there is none. 00:16:27.58\00:16:29.85 And so they have these Godpods and they listen to them 00:16:29.88\00:16:33.05 and now we have 300 new members there. 00:16:33.09\00:16:34.82 Amen. Praise the Lord. 00:16:34.86\00:16:36.19 And these are solar powered? Yeah. Solar powered. 00:16:36.22\00:16:37.56 Yes, on the site. Yes. 00:16:37.59\00:16:38.93 Yeah. 00:16:38.96\00:16:40.30 But the problem is we only have 15 left. 00:16:40.33\00:16:41.86 Oh, wow. Yeah. 00:16:41.90\00:16:43.23 Because they're crossing the river, 00:16:43.26\00:16:45.13 they would drop them in the water, 00:16:45.17\00:16:46.87 out of their clothes or out in their field, 00:16:46.90\00:16:48.57 they'd drop them in the mud. 00:16:48.60\00:16:50.11 Somebody steals them or they break, mostly break. 00:16:50.14\00:16:52.61 So we have 15 left 00:16:52.64\00:16:54.18 and we still need over another 200. 00:16:54.21\00:16:56.24 Praise God. 00:16:56.28\00:16:57.61 And to get there is I mean, it's quite a trek. 00:16:57.65\00:17:01.48 I mean, from Harare to the Doma people, 00:17:01.52\00:17:05.39 you go over these incredible roads 00:17:05.42\00:17:08.99 and then you cross a stream. 00:17:09.02\00:17:10.69 Eight hours. 00:17:10.73\00:17:12.49 And then you walk, 00:17:12.53\00:17:13.86 we walked an hour and we weren't there yet. 00:17:13.90\00:17:17.50 I mean, we were at some other places, 00:17:17.53\00:17:20.94 but to get to the school, and where the wells are was, 00:17:20.97\00:17:26.54 yeah, it was quite a trek. 00:17:26.57\00:17:27.91 And by the way, ASI would be very happy, I told Garwin, 00:17:27.94\00:17:30.05 the school is now running, it wasn't running, 00:17:30.08\00:17:32.28 but it was a miracle. 00:17:32.31\00:17:34.22 Absolutely, we wouldn't tell all the details. 00:17:34.25\00:17:36.22 We were supposed to go to Lubumbashi. 00:17:36.25\00:17:38.25 Yes, and we didn't realize 00:17:38.29\00:17:41.32 that it took so much time to get a visa. 00:17:41.36\00:17:44.93 We used to live there, 00:17:44.96\00:17:46.29 we want to go back and preach a health series there. 00:17:46.33\00:17:47.66 Yes, yes. 00:17:47.70\00:17:49.03 And so I said to Kathy, "Well, we can't go 00:17:49.06\00:17:50.40 to Lubumbashi, let's go to Harare 00:17:50.43\00:17:51.77 and up to the Doma people. 00:17:51.80\00:17:53.13 And so I called..." 00:17:53.17\00:17:55.00 Jonathan Musvosvi. 00:17:55.04\00:17:56.37 Jonathan and Judith Musvosvi, she's the ADRA director, 00:17:56.40\00:18:00.48 and I said we want to come and visit the Doma people. 00:18:00.51\00:18:02.41 Can we rent a car and do that? Can you go with us? 00:18:02.44\00:18:04.15 She said, "You know, I don't go there. 00:18:04.18\00:18:06.15 The road is so terrible." 00:18:06.18\00:18:08.38 And this had been an ADRA project, 00:18:08.42\00:18:09.75 they have workers there. 00:18:09.78\00:18:11.12 And she said, "I don't go there. 00:18:11.15\00:18:12.49 It's just terrible." But she said, okay. 00:18:12.52\00:18:14.72 She said, "Actually, I have to go the day before 00:18:14.76\00:18:17.19 you're coming because we have a donor coming from Europe, 00:18:17.23\00:18:20.56 and they want to go and look at the project." 00:18:20.60\00:18:22.33 So I had to take this lady up there from ADRA, Europe. 00:18:22.36\00:18:27.07 Austria, wasn't it? Yes. 00:18:27.10\00:18:28.44 Yeah. 00:18:28.47\00:18:29.80 And so she got there and the school wasn't running. 00:18:29.84\00:18:34.01 It's sitting there for over a year not running. 00:18:34.04\00:18:35.84 The government doesn't want to open it for some reason. 00:18:35.88\00:18:38.21 So she gets there and she says, 00:18:38.25\00:18:39.58 you know, talks to all the government officials, 00:18:39.61\00:18:41.05 got them all together. 00:18:41.08\00:18:42.42 And she said, "You know, the people responsible 00:18:42.45\00:18:44.79 for raising the money are coming tomorrow 00:18:44.82\00:18:47.12 and they're going to be really unhappy 00:18:47.16\00:18:49.19 if the school is not opened. 00:18:49.22\00:18:51.59 And it's going to hurt donations." 00:18:51.63\00:18:53.43 Yes, yes. 00:18:53.46\00:18:54.80 Donations to Zimbabwe from overseas. 00:18:54.83\00:18:58.17 And so the next day I talked to the person in charge, 00:18:58.20\00:19:01.54 the government official, they are at the school, 00:19:01.57\00:19:04.21 on the hill by the Doma people, they're on the mountains, 00:19:04.24\00:19:07.11 overlooking Zambia and Mozambique 00:19:07.14\00:19:09.78 and the whole area. 00:19:09.81\00:19:11.15 So we're talking and I asked him about the school. 00:19:11.18\00:19:13.42 He said, "It'll be opened in two weeks." 00:19:13.45\00:19:16.35 Yes. Amen. 00:19:16.38\00:19:17.99 So we're thinking it's running now. 00:19:18.02\00:19:19.62 Yes. 00:19:19.65\00:19:20.99 We're thinking it's running now. 00:19:21.02\00:19:22.36 Praise the Lord. Yeah. 00:19:22.39\00:19:23.73 You know, I noticed something in spending time with you. 00:19:23.76\00:19:25.99 Kathy is, works out of the president's office, 00:19:26.03\00:19:28.46 but she's your personal logician statistician. 00:19:28.50\00:19:30.90 That's right. 00:19:30.93\00:19:34.54 And without Kathy's input, 00:19:34.57\00:19:37.27 I think you'd be hurting up, I guess. 00:19:37.31\00:19:38.64 I would. 00:19:38.67\00:19:40.98 But not really. Now we have two. 00:19:41.01\00:19:43.45 And now you guys, praise the Lord. 00:19:43.48\00:19:44.91 Praise the Lord. 00:19:44.95\00:19:46.28 All right, did we exhaust our pictures 00:19:46.31\00:19:47.65 or we got some more? 00:19:47.68\00:19:49.02 No, we got more. Quite few more. 00:19:49.05\00:19:50.39 Yeah, quite a few more. Okay. 00:19:50.42\00:19:51.85 So... 00:19:51.89\00:19:53.22 This is a picture of Zambia, Lusaka. 00:19:53.25\00:19:54.89 Lusaka.

Yeah. 00:20:11.04\00:20:12.37 Excellent, excellent. 00:20:12.41\00:20:13.74 But to prepare for that, we're going to broadcast 00:20:13.78\00:20:15.11 all over Lusaka, the whole area in south, 00:20:15.14\00:20:18.15 so we have radio programs, daily radio programs 00:20:18.18\00:20:21.28 twice a day broadcasting the Adventist message... 00:20:21.32\00:20:23.55 Yeah. 00:20:23.59\00:20:24.92 Preparing for these meetings that'll happen in the year. 00:20:24.95\00:20:26.62 So I'm talking to the pastors, okay, in Lusaka, all of them. 00:20:26.65\00:20:31.46 We have 300 churches there.
