I want to spend my life
00:00:01.56\00:00:07.47
Mending broken people
00:00:07.50\00:00:12.47
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.51\00:00:18.68
Removing pain
00:00:18.71\00:00:23.72
Lord, let my words
00:00:23.75\00:00:29.92
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:29.96\00:00:34.53
I want to spend my life
00:00:34.56\00:00:40.24
Mending broken people
00:00:40.27\00:00:45.71
I want to spend my life
00:00:45.74\00:00:51.28
Mending broken people
00:00:51.31\00:00:55.28
Hello, and welcome to
another 3ABN Today program.
00:01:07.93\00:01:11.23
My name is Jill
Morikone and so glad
00:01:11.27\00:01:13.47
that you have taken some
time from your day to join us.
00:01:13.50\00:01:17.34
You know, the 3ABN Today program
00:01:17.37\00:01:18.84
we often bring to you at
home ministries, testimonies,
00:01:18.87\00:01:23.08
stories of people
whose lives have been changed
00:01:23.11\00:01:25.68
by the gospel of
the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:01:25.71\00:01:27.95
Today is no exception, in fact,
00:01:27.98\00:01:30.42
today is one of those
extra special ministries.
00:01:30.45\00:01:33.86
To me in the
course of human history
00:01:33.89\00:01:36.12
you look at
certain pivotal events,
00:01:36.16\00:01:38.59
certain things
that have taken place
00:01:38.63\00:01:40.33
that really have
almost altered the course
00:01:40.36\00:01:42.86
or have been a huge catalyst
00:01:42.90\00:01:44.30
to change a
great deal around them.
00:01:44.33\00:01:47.07
I think of Henry
Ford and the automobile
00:01:47.10\00:01:50.84
back at the turn of the
century over 100 years ago,
00:01:50.87\00:01:53.54
and people who drove
horse and buggy thought
00:01:53.58\00:01:56.54
by no means are
we going to change,
00:01:56.58\00:01:58.38
we're going to drive horse
and buggy the rest of our life,
00:01:58.41\00:02:00.72
but the
automobile revolutionized
00:02:00.75\00:02:03.15
the way we do travel.
00:02:03.18\00:02:05.09
Within the
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:02:05.12\00:02:07.19
I think of ASI
00:02:07.22\00:02:08.92
and the impact that has
made within this church,
00:02:08.96\00:02:13.66
this body of Christ.
00:02:13.70\00:02:15.46
In more recent
years I think of GYC,
00:02:15.50\00:02:17.77
Generation of Youth
for Christ and the change,
00:02:17.80\00:02:20.90
the catalyst that has been
for change for young people
00:02:20.94\00:02:23.94
not just in the United
States but all over the world.
00:02:23.97\00:02:26.31
So the ministry
that we are bringing
00:02:26.34\00:02:29.18
to you today is called
Your Best Pathway to Health.
00:02:29.21\00:02:33.05
In this ministry
to me has transformed
00:02:33.08\00:02:36.45
the way we do evangelism,
the way we do outreach.
00:02:36.48\00:02:40.06
And it has catapulted
that on a global scale.
00:02:40.09\00:02:43.53
So I'm so excited
to talk to you today
00:02:43.56\00:02:46.33
about this ministry
00:02:46.36\00:02:47.83
and to introduce to
you our special guests.
00:02:47.86\00:02:50.27
We have Dr. Lela Gilbert Lewis,
00:02:50.30\00:02:53.07
and we're so
delighted to have you here.
00:02:53.10\00:02:55.30
You are CEO and founder of
Your Best Pathway to Health
00:02:55.34\00:02:58.71
and thank you for
coming and joining us.
00:02:58.74\00:03:00.28
Thank you so much
for having us, Jill.
00:03:00.31\00:03:02.04
We are just thrilled to be here.
00:03:02.08\00:03:03.58
We are thrilled to have you
00:03:03.61\00:03:04.95
and we want to talk
just a bit more to you
00:03:04.98\00:03:06.55
but before we do
sitting next to you
00:03:06.58\00:03:08.55
is Pastor Benny Morre.
00:03:08.58\00:03:09.92
And you are CFO and treasurer
of Your Best Pathway to Health.
00:03:09.95\00:03:13.42
And thank you for
coming and joining us.
00:03:13.46\00:03:15.29
It's great to be
here at 3ABN again.
00:03:15.32\00:03:17.46
I know, well, you
both have been here
00:03:17.49\00:03:19.09
before many times
00:03:19.13\00:03:20.46
and are no stranger
to our audience at home.
00:03:20.50\00:03:23.10
Tell me in a nutshell, Dr. Lela,
00:03:23.13\00:03:24.87
what is Your Best
Pathway to Health?
00:03:24.90\00:03:27.27
Maybe someone has never
caught any program about it,
00:03:27.30\00:03:29.80
so what is the ministry?
00:03:29.84\00:03:31.17
Thank you, Jill.
00:03:31.21\00:03:32.54
We are a mega clinic,
00:03:32.57\00:03:33.91
essentially if you
think of a hospital on wheels
00:03:33.94\00:03:35.74
that is Your Best
Pathway to Health.
00:03:35.78\00:03:37.41
We come into a city, we set up,
00:03:37.45\00:03:39.48
we provide massive free
00:03:39.51\00:03:41.22
medical, dental, eye
care and surgical services
00:03:41.25\00:03:44.05
to uninsured and
underinsured people.
00:03:44.09\00:03:46.45
And it's amazing, the
Lord has blessed tremendously.
00:03:46.49\00:03:49.22
Up to date we have provided
00:03:49.26\00:03:50.73
just under 30,000 patients
free healthcare since 2014,
00:03:50.76\00:03:55.86
worth $80.5
million in free healthcare.
00:03:55.90\00:03:59.50
So it's a huge
blessing we provide, again,
00:03:59.53\00:04:02.04
a whole person care
00:04:02.07\00:04:03.41
of physical, mental
and spiritual health.
00:04:03.44\00:04:04.94
So it's a wonderful opportunity.
00:04:04.97\00:04:06.74
Amen. So what was the catalyst?
00:04:06.78\00:04:08.48
I mean, you're the founder
so you are the charter member
00:04:08.51\00:04:10.91
you could say of Your
Best Pathway to Health.
00:04:10.95\00:04:13.01
So what was the catalyst?
00:04:13.05\00:04:14.45
Why did you,
obviously there's a need
00:04:14.48\00:04:16.69
but what was the
catalyst behind it?
00:04:16.72\00:04:18.55
Well, you know, I'm an OB/GYN.
00:04:18.59\00:04:21.16
And my heart and my
love is mission work
00:04:21.19\00:04:24.06
and loving my
patients on a more global scale
00:04:24.09\00:04:28.03
to recognize that
Jesus is the master healer.
00:04:28.06\00:04:31.27
There are so many,
many people that are hurting
00:04:31.30\00:04:34.17
and physically,
mentally, emotionally
00:04:34.20\00:04:36.81
and I wanted to be
able to reach those people
00:04:36.84\00:04:38.77
on a mass scale and out
of it came Pathway to Health.
00:04:38.81\00:04:42.64
Now the first one was in 2014,
00:04:42.68\00:04:44.51
because I know 3ABN
got involved in 2015.
00:04:44.55\00:04:47.48
Yes. But in 2014
where was that one?
00:04:47.52\00:04:49.88
Where did that took place?
00:04:49.92\00:04:51.25
San Francisco in Oakland,
00:04:51.29\00:04:52.62
we did our very
first event in 2014,
00:04:52.65\00:04:53.99
it was huge,
00:04:54.02\00:04:55.46
in fact, many people
called it the game changer,
00:04:55.49\00:04:57.53
you mentioned as far as
00:04:57.56\00:04:58.89
the Seventh-day Adventist
Church and health ministry,
00:04:58.93\00:05:00.30
it was sort of by God's
grace it was the game changer
00:05:00.33\00:05:03.33
as far as how we
view health ministry,
00:05:03.37\00:05:05.23
serviced 3,100
patients in two and a half days
00:05:05.27\00:05:08.40
and helicopters flying overhead,
00:05:08.44\00:05:10.47
every major news,
media network outside.
00:05:10.51\00:05:13.24
It really changed
everyone's focus to,
00:05:13.27\00:05:16.61
"Wow, what we can
actually do even here
00:05:16.64\00:05:18.88
in the United
States of America."
00:05:18.91\00:05:20.48
Absolutely, Now
3ABN got involved in 2015
00:05:20.52\00:05:23.62
because I know we were there
00:05:23.65\00:05:25.25
and we brought you
a home live coverage
00:05:25.29\00:05:26.89
of the evening meetings
00:05:26.92\00:05:28.26
and then afterward
we talk a bit about
00:05:28.29\00:05:30.49
what took place in
the sub B roll we call it
00:05:30.53\00:05:33.36
and some interviews with people
00:05:33.40\00:05:34.73
whose lives have
been change and impacted.
00:05:34.76\00:05:36.53
That was in San Antonio.
00:05:36.56\00:05:37.93
San Antonio, Texas
00:05:37.97\00:05:39.30
and that's where
we had the joining
00:05:39.33\00:05:41.20
of my wonderful
friend and my second father
00:05:41.24\00:05:44.61
if you will, Benny Moore.
00:05:44.64\00:05:46.34
He graciously took on
00:05:46.37\00:05:48.54
something that we
have been so happy for.
00:05:48.58\00:05:51.61
He became the CFO and treasurer.
00:05:51.65\00:05:54.02
And from there things
00:05:54.05\00:05:55.78
just have been
running ever since.
00:05:55.82\00:05:59.85
And after San Antonio,
there was Spokane, right...
00:05:59.89\00:06:02.46
We did Spokane... In
conjunction with ASI?
00:06:02.49\00:06:04.56
It was in conjunction with ASI.
00:06:04.59\00:06:06.23
And that was in
the summer of 2015
00:06:06.26\00:06:09.10
and then in April of 2016,
00:06:09.13\00:06:11.33
our largest event
thus far 8,500 patients,
00:06:11.37\00:06:14.27
over 8,500 patients
in two and a half days
00:06:14.30\00:06:16.87
at Los Angeles
Convention Center.
00:06:16.91\00:06:19.04
And I might add that every city
00:06:19.07\00:06:20.64
we've gone to
has been co-sponsored
00:06:20.68\00:06:22.71
by the local mayor's
office, the city dignitaries,
00:06:22.74\00:06:27.02
these
individuals always come out
00:06:27.05\00:06:28.52
and what a wonderful opportunity
00:06:28.55\00:06:30.69
as Christians for us to say
00:06:30.72\00:06:32.65
their question, all
the media networks say,
00:06:32.69\00:06:34.62
"Why are you guys doing this?
00:06:34.66\00:06:36.42
Who are you people?"
00:06:36.46\00:06:38.03
And we're given the
opportunity of saying, you know,
00:06:38.06\00:06:40.36
"Truthfully we are
Seventh-day Adventist Christians
00:06:40.40\00:06:43.30
and just like Jesus
00:06:43.33\00:06:44.67
when He was on earth
00:06:44.70\00:06:46.03
provided to
people without charge,
00:06:46.07\00:06:48.47
without any strings
attached that's what we have
00:06:48.50\00:06:51.31
the blessing of showing His love
00:06:51.34\00:06:52.91
to those around us as well."
00:06:52.94\00:06:54.84
It's a wonderful model,
you know, the pathway model.
00:06:54.88\00:06:58.01
And you think about that quote
from Sister White talking about
00:06:58.05\00:07:01.25
"He saw their needs,
He ministered to them,
00:07:01.28\00:07:03.99
He met them where they
were, and then He bade them,
00:07:04.02\00:07:05.59
'Follow me."'
00:07:05.62\00:07:06.96
So you all follow up
with spiritual as well
00:07:06.99\00:07:09.16
and we want to get into that,
00:07:09.19\00:07:10.86
but we're just going
through the Pathways quickly,
00:07:10.89\00:07:12.83
so Spokane and
then you did Los Angeles
00:07:12.86\00:07:16.53
and what came after Los Angeles?
00:07:16.56\00:07:17.90
Then came Berkeley, West
Virginia, summer of 2016,
00:07:17.93\00:07:22.10
and it was a great opportunity
on a small scale to see
00:07:22.14\00:07:24.97
how this can be
replicated around the country
00:07:25.01\00:07:27.08
whether it's in a
small city or a mega city.
00:07:27.11\00:07:30.45
Many people are saying,
00:07:30.48\00:07:31.81
"How can we do
this in our city?"
00:07:31.85\00:07:34.05
And we're interested
in that, we feel that,
00:07:34.08\00:07:36.82
you know, that
our responsibility
00:07:36.85\00:07:38.32
is to go to the
major cities of the U.S.
00:07:38.35\00:07:40.66
but it does need to be done
00:07:40.69\00:07:42.32
in small cities as
well, smaller cities.
00:07:42.36\00:07:44.73
And so we thought that Berkeley
would give us the opportunity
00:07:44.76\00:07:48.10
to learn what the
issues are in doing this
00:07:48.13\00:07:51.23
in a different sized city
00:07:51.27\00:07:52.83
so that we could be
able to give guidance
00:07:52.87\00:07:55.70
and instruction to people
00:07:55.74\00:07:57.07
who want to do this
in their own hometown.
00:07:57.11\00:08:00.18
Now, Pastor Benny,
you are ordained minister
00:08:00.21\00:08:01.91
and you serve for years
00:08:01.94\00:08:03.28
within the
conference as treasurer
00:08:03.31\00:08:04.65
or tell us just a bit about it?
00:08:04.68\00:08:06.01
Yes, I've worked in
evangelism for many years.
00:08:06.05\00:08:07.72
I worked with Elder
Cox for about nine years
00:08:07.75\00:08:11.19
in evangelism...
00:08:11.22\00:08:12.55
I didn't know that. Okay.
00:08:12.59\00:08:13.96
In different parts of the world.
00:08:13.99\00:08:15.72
And then also, yes,
00:08:15.76\00:08:17.79
I've been the secretary
of the Carolina Conference
00:08:17.83\00:08:19.89
for a couple years,
00:08:19.93\00:08:21.26
then for eight
years treasurer there,
00:08:21.30\00:08:22.66
treasurer of the
North Pacific Union.
00:08:22.70\00:08:24.30
So yeah, I've done a
lot of different things.
00:08:24.33\00:08:28.30
And now you've
stepped into the role
00:08:28.34\00:08:30.54
after San Antonio in
2015, is that correct?
00:08:30.57\00:08:32.94
Starting with San Antonio. Okay.
00:08:32.97\00:08:36.14
Oh, and what was the impetus?
00:08:36.18\00:08:38.05
Why did you
want to get involved?
00:08:38.08\00:08:40.28
Well, I can thank my friend,
00:08:40.32\00:08:43.18
Dr. Duane McKey for getting
me into this big responsibility.
00:08:43.22\00:08:48.39
But it's just an opportunity
00:08:48.42\00:08:50.33
to do something
that's unbelievable,
00:08:50.36\00:08:53.36
it's something that you
don't think is possible.
00:08:53.40\00:08:56.16
I've had a chance in
all of our major events
00:08:56.20\00:08:59.73
to go with Dr. Lela
00:08:59.77\00:09:01.67
and to actually see as
we take city officials,
00:09:01.70\00:09:05.77
our union
officials or whatever to go
00:09:05.81\00:09:07.88
and walk through the event
from one side to the other,
00:09:07.91\00:09:11.71
to see how the
whole thing comes together
00:09:11.75\00:09:13.72
and it just blows
your mind, it just,
00:09:13.75\00:09:15.78
you can't believe that
it would even be possible,
00:09:15.82\00:09:19.35
humanly possible to put together
00:09:19.39\00:09:21.46
something of this
nature with an organization
00:09:21.49\00:09:24.13
that is run by volunteers.
00:09:24.16\00:09:27.13
It's incredible, the
level of organization
00:09:27.16\00:09:29.43
that something like
Pathway takes is incredible
00:09:29.46\00:09:31.37
and we want to talk
more about all of that.
00:09:31.40\00:09:33.67
This is a ministry of
the North American division
00:09:33.70\00:09:36.54
of the
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:09:36.57\00:09:38.07
And we're just so
blessed to have you both here.
00:09:38.11\00:09:40.24
Before we go to our music,
we have an upcoming Pathway.
00:09:40.28\00:09:43.61
So tell me where we're going?
00:09:43.65\00:09:45.58
We are thrilled
for Pathway Phoenix,
00:09:45.61\00:09:48.12
December 25, 26 and 27.
00:09:48.15\00:09:51.05
So yes, Christmas
Day, this year 2017,
00:09:51.09\00:09:55.42
it's going to be by God's grace
00:09:55.46\00:09:57.19
we get the
Phoenix Convention Center,
00:09:57.23\00:09:58.56
if we can get 3,000 volunteers
00:09:58.59\00:10:00.80
which we'll talk about
more later in the show,
00:10:00.83\00:10:03.26
by God's grace we can
service 10,000 patients
00:10:03.30\00:10:05.80
in the two and a
half days over Christmas.
00:10:05.83\00:10:07.44
Dr. Lela is thrilled
00:10:07.47\00:10:09.04
because Phoenix
happens to be her home.
00:10:09.07\00:10:12.84
She doesn't have to
travel to go to the event.
00:10:12.87\00:10:15.41
It is a very nice aspect.
00:10:15.44\00:10:17.38
It's nice to be able
to work in one's own home
00:10:17.41\00:10:19.55
but, you know, it is actually
00:10:19.58\00:10:21.98
the fifth largest
city in the United States,
00:10:22.02\00:10:24.29
the largest metropolitan
city in the United States...
00:10:24.32\00:10:26.92
It's the largest population
of any U.S. capital city.
00:10:26.96\00:10:31.63
Is it really?
00:10:31.66\00:10:32.99
Over a million
people, 1.6 million people.
00:10:33.03\00:10:35.73
More than 1.6 million
people as of last year.
00:10:35.76\00:10:38.50
Wow.
00:10:38.53\00:10:39.87
So we are looking forward
to some really amazing things.
00:10:39.90\00:10:43.04
And it's in
conjunction, sort of, with GYC
00:10:43.07\00:10:45.17
because it comes
right before GYC.
00:10:45.21\00:10:46.54
Exactly, we are
partnering with GYC.
00:10:46.57\00:10:48.74
We are the three
days preceding, in fact,
00:10:48.78\00:10:51.95
they always have
an outreach ministry
00:10:51.98\00:10:53.78
before their event and
that is Pathway to Health.
00:10:53.82\00:10:56.85
Yeah. Amen.
00:10:56.89\00:10:58.29
Well, I can't wait
to hear more stories
00:10:58.32\00:10:59.92
and hear what God is
doing with this ministry
00:10:59.95\00:11:02.19
but right now we're
going to go to our music.
00:11:02.22\00:11:04.19
We're blessed to have
Scott Michael Bennett with us.
00:11:04.23\00:11:07.46
And the song that he
will be ministering is "Come".
00:11:07.50\00:11:10.87
Come
00:11:31.12\00:11:33.86
When your heart is heavy laden
00:11:33.89\00:11:37.79
And you feeling
like the joy is fading
00:11:37.83\00:11:43.23
Just come
00:11:43.26\00:11:45.27
Come
00:11:48.30\00:11:50.71
Believing
everything I've told you
00:11:50.74\00:11:54.88
'Cause here are arms
that long to hold you
00:11:54.91\00:12:00.18
Just come
00:12:00.22\00:12:01.98
Come
00:12:05.45\00:12:07.82
And leave behind
the mask you're hiding
00:12:07.86\00:12:12.16
Here is someone to confide in
00:12:12.19\00:12:16.77
I know what you've done
00:12:16.80\00:12:19.63
Come
00:12:22.70\00:12:25.07
And tell me
everything you're hoping
00:12:25.11\00:12:29.18
The father loves
a heart that's open
00:12:29.21\00:12:34.22
Just come
00:12:34.25\00:12:35.58
I didn't die
00:12:39.79\00:12:41.66
So you could
try to save yourself
00:12:41.69\00:12:47.56
I know who you are
00:12:47.60\00:12:50.23
Don't try to be somebody else
00:12:50.27\00:12:55.07
Come
00:12:58.14\00:13:00.48
Believing
everything I've told you
00:13:00.51\00:13:04.85
'Cause here are arms
that long to hold you
00:13:04.88\00:13:09.15
Won't you come?
00:13:09.18\00:13:11.15
Come
00:13:15.02\00:13:17.36
And come into the joy of living
00:13:17.39\00:13:21.66
Knowing that your sins forgiven
00:13:21.70\00:13:26.70
Just come
00:13:26.74\00:13:28.07
I didn't die
00:13:32.17\00:13:34.08
So you could
try to save yourself
00:13:34.11\00:13:39.91
I know who you are
00:13:39.95\00:13:42.92
Don't try to be somebody else
00:13:42.95\00:13:46.96
Come
00:13:50.86\00:13:53.43
Believing
everything I've told you
00:13:53.46\00:13:58.17
Here are arms
that long to hold you
00:13:58.20\00:14:02.30
Won't you come?
00:14:02.34\00:14:04.21
Come
00:14:07.94\00:14:10.28
And come into the joy of living
00:14:10.31\00:14:14.85
Knowing that your sins forgiven
00:14:14.88\00:14:19.95
Just come
00:14:19.99\00:14:24.03
Just come
00:14:38.47\00:14:44.55
Thank you so much,
Scott Michael Bennett.
00:14:53.72\00:14:56.59
"Come," I love that song.
00:14:56.62\00:14:58.29
God calls each one
of us to come to Him,
00:14:58.33\00:15:00.86
to come apart and
spend that time with Him.
00:15:00.90\00:15:04.27
I'm talking with Dr. Lela
Lewis and Pastor Benny Moore.
00:15:04.30\00:15:07.27
But we have a
special brand new guest
00:15:07.30\00:15:10.11
who is just
joining us via Skype.
00:15:10.14\00:15:12.71
He's taking time
from his busy schedule,
00:15:12.74\00:15:15.14
that is Dr. Richard Hart.
00:15:15.18\00:15:16.81
He's the president and CEO
of Loma Linda University Health.
00:15:16.85\00:15:21.82
And, Dr. Hart, are you there?
00:15:21.85\00:15:24.25
I'm here. Good to be with you.
00:15:24.29\00:15:26.02
Thank you so
much for joining us.
00:15:26.05\00:15:27.72
Now Loma Linda University Health
00:15:27.76\00:15:29.52
has partnered
with Pathway to Health,
00:15:29.56\00:15:32.59
is it from the very beginning?
00:15:32.63\00:15:35.53
Well, even before the beginning,
00:15:35.56\00:15:37.07
I think it would be fair to say
00:15:37.10\00:15:38.57
Lela has been a
friend and colleague
00:15:38.60\00:15:40.10
since medical school days.
00:15:40.14\00:15:41.47
So I probably
interest her journeys
00:15:41.50\00:15:43.64
and I had been
glad to working with her
00:15:43.67\00:15:46.24
as Pathway to
Health came together.
00:15:46.27\00:15:48.51
Oh, that's wonderful.
00:15:48.54\00:15:50.58
So tell me about the partnership
00:15:50.61\00:15:52.38
with the Loma Linda
University Health and Pathway
00:15:52.41\00:15:54.72
before we get
into you and your wife
00:15:54.75\00:15:56.35
I know are now
actually volunteering
00:15:56.38\00:15:58.32
this coming Pathway Phoenix
00:15:58.35\00:15:59.79
but tell me
about the partnership.
00:15:59.82\00:16:01.52
What did that look
like? Was that financial?
00:16:01.56\00:16:03.32
Was that help with physicians
and doctors to come support?
00:16:03.36\00:16:06.36
Or what did that
partnership look like?
00:16:06.39\00:16:08.76
Well, I think
probably all of the above,
00:16:08.80\00:16:11.37
it's clear that many
times the main participants
00:16:11.40\00:16:14.50
at Pathway to Health
are many of our alumni.
00:16:14.54\00:16:17.21
And so it seemed only logical
00:16:17.24\00:16:18.64
that alumni itself
should get involved.
00:16:18.67\00:16:20.48
Absolutely.
00:16:20.51\00:16:21.84
So as Pathways to Health is
migrated across the country,
00:16:21.88\00:16:24.31
we've become more
and more involved.
00:16:24.35\00:16:26.15
Most recently, of
course, at the L.A.
00:16:26.18\00:16:28.95
experience where we had
a number of people in buses
00:16:28.98\00:16:31.69
running down there
00:16:31.72\00:16:33.05
and assisting in
the program there.
00:16:33.09\00:16:34.42
So it's been a combination
of the equipment, people,
00:16:34.46\00:16:38.03
strategies that
we've worked with them on.
00:16:38.06\00:16:40.00
Amen.
00:16:40.03\00:16:41.36
What an incredible blessing,
00:16:41.40\00:16:42.73
it's been a
blessing too, Dr. Lela.
00:16:42.76\00:16:44.10
Absolutely.
00:16:44.13\00:16:45.47
In fact, I view Dr.
Hart as sort of my...
00:16:45.50\00:16:48.60
not sort of, my model physician.
00:16:48.64\00:16:50.77
If I could model my
whole life after someone,
00:16:50.81\00:16:52.97
it would be you Dr. Hart
00:16:53.01\00:16:54.34
that I've learned so much
00:16:54.38\00:16:56.34
and the partnership
has been such a blessing
00:16:56.38\00:16:58.81
because learning from him
00:16:58.85\00:17:01.28
and his experience and
Loma Linda's experience
00:17:01.32\00:17:03.55
and then again,
partnering with colleagues
00:17:03.59\00:17:05.82
and classmates and friends
00:17:05.85\00:17:07.39
from Loma
Linda, it's tremendous.
00:17:07.42\00:17:08.96
Amen.
00:17:08.99\00:17:10.33
Now before we get to
Pathway Phoenix, Dr. Hart,
00:17:10.36\00:17:12.33
tell me have you ever
seen in your experience
00:17:12.36\00:17:14.73
as a physician and there at
Loma Linda University Health,
00:17:14.76\00:17:17.57
have you ever seen an experience
00:17:17.60\00:17:20.44
like Pathway to Health,
00:17:20.47\00:17:21.97
like Your Best
Pathway to Health?
00:17:22.00\00:17:23.34
Have you ever seen any model
like that worked out before?
00:17:23.37\00:17:28.18
Well, some years ago NBC
00:17:28.21\00:17:30.05
the broadcasting company
used to run health fairs.
00:17:30.08\00:17:33.78
And we hosted some of those here
00:17:33.82\00:17:35.15
on the Loma Linda
campus and elsewhere.
00:17:35.18\00:17:37.29
But they were primarily
into the screening business.
00:17:37.32\00:17:41.09
And we quickly
discovered after few years
00:17:41.12\00:17:43.29
that screening and
identifying a problem
00:17:43.32\00:17:44.96
doesn't really solve it.
00:17:44.99\00:17:46.90
And so it's what I
think is what Lela has taken
00:17:46.93\00:17:48.93
as a step forward and
saying, "Let's not just screen
00:17:48.96\00:17:51.53
but let's come
up with resolutions
00:17:51.57\00:17:52.90
of some of these issues
00:17:52.93\00:17:54.27
even up to an including
surgery and things like that."
00:17:54.30\00:17:56.81
So that's where this model
00:17:56.84\00:17:58.17
I think is much more
00:17:58.21\00:17:59.54
appropriate and
effective in what it's doing.
00:17:59.57\00:18:01.34
Amen. That's wonderful.
00:18:01.38\00:18:02.71
And, you know,
00:18:02.74\00:18:04.08
what Loma Linda's
motto to make man whole...
00:18:04.11\00:18:06.61
Dr. Hart, I mean, I know I
believe it with all my heart
00:18:06.65\00:18:09.85
but I'd love to hear your words
00:18:09.88\00:18:11.55
as far as how you
think the partnership helps
00:18:11.59\00:18:14.79
to allow our
alumni to really continue
00:18:14.82\00:18:17.53
that motto on going
00:18:17.56\00:18:19.66
after finishing medical
school or dentistry etc?
00:18:19.69\00:18:24.53
Well, it's very clear that,
00:18:24.57\00:18:26.43
well, first of all the students
00:18:26.47\00:18:27.80
who come to us
have a burning desire
00:18:27.84\00:18:29.90
for that sort of service.
00:18:29.94\00:18:31.61
Hopefully we nurture them
while they're here as students
00:18:31.64\00:18:33.71
and then as
alumni as I often say,
00:18:33.74\00:18:36.58
"Service enables us to
really grow ourselves."
00:18:36.61\00:18:39.71
So it's not so much that
we're helping somebody else,
00:18:39.75\00:18:41.85
it's indeed we
are helping ourselves
00:18:41.88\00:18:44.09
by fulfilling our
own Christian commitment.
00:18:44.12\00:18:46.62
So it's a key
part of this university
00:18:46.65\00:18:48.52
and it's a delight to
be able to participate
00:18:48.56\00:18:50.16
in the activities
that promote that.
00:18:50.19\00:18:51.59
Amen.
00:18:51.63\00:18:52.96
Well, that spirit of service,
00:18:52.99\00:18:54.33
you're not only
teaching your students
00:18:54.36\00:18:56.56
but also you're
walking that out yourself,
00:18:56.60\00:18:59.70
you are coming
to Pathway Phoenix,
00:18:59.73\00:19:01.50
is that correct, a
volunteer, you and your wife?
00:19:01.54\00:19:04.27
That is correct,
myself and my wife
00:19:04.31\00:19:07.31
who's a nurse practitioner
00:19:07.34\00:19:08.68
although she
claimed to be retired
00:19:08.71\00:19:10.11
but we're gonna draft her in.
00:19:10.15\00:19:12.11
And actually one
of my granddaughters
00:19:12.15\00:19:13.62
is trying to come
as well as a volunteer.
00:19:13.65\00:19:15.35
Wonderful. Oh, that's great.
00:19:15.38\00:19:16.89
So what was the impetus?
00:19:16.92\00:19:18.25
What's your reason
for wanting to volunteer
00:19:18.29\00:19:20.76
especially at Pathway Phoenix?
00:19:20.79\00:19:23.63
Well, to some degree it's
the impertinent Lela Lewis
00:19:23.66\00:19:27.00
that pushed,
00:19:27.03\00:19:30.33
so but I just felt,
00:19:30.37\00:19:32.63
I'm concerned about
getting enough volunteers
00:19:32.67\00:19:35.14
to do this over
the Christmas holidays
00:19:35.17\00:19:37.51
and hope that
somehow by engaging myself
00:19:37.54\00:19:39.77
I can encourage others
to participate as well.
00:19:39.81\00:19:43.31
Amen. That's wonderful.
00:19:43.35\00:19:44.68
Now not only Loma Linda
University Health is partnering
00:19:44.71\00:19:47.58
but you're somehow connecting
00:19:47.62\00:19:48.95
with a Loma Linda University
Church, is that correct?
00:19:48.98\00:19:52.35
That's correct.
00:19:52.39\00:19:53.72
Over the last five years
00:19:53.76\00:19:55.09
we've been on a
journey here at Loma Linda
00:19:55.12\00:19:56.46
to become more
unified across our campus,
00:19:56.49\00:19:58.39
our six hospitals,
00:19:58.43\00:19:59.76
the eight schools
in the university,
00:19:59.79\00:20:01.13
the 1,000 doctors in
our faculty medical group
00:20:01.16\00:20:03.33
but about a year or two ago,
00:20:03.37\00:20:04.87
the university church came
to us and says, "Wait a minute.
00:20:04.90\00:20:06.67
We want to be part
of Loma Linda as well."
00:20:06.70\00:20:09.14
So as part of that process
we've named Randy Roberts,
00:20:09.17\00:20:11.71
a senior pastor here
as our vice president
00:20:11.74\00:20:14.28
for Spiritual Life and Mission.
00:20:14.31\00:20:15.94
And this is a first project
00:20:15.98\00:20:17.31
we do taken on
as a joint project
00:20:17.35\00:20:19.18
combining all of Loma
Linda University Health
00:20:19.21\00:20:21.68
and the
university church together
00:20:21.72\00:20:23.45
to work on a collective project.
00:20:23.49\00:20:25.89
Amen. That's wonderful.
00:20:25.92\00:20:27.32
Well, thank you so
much, Dr. Richard Hart,
00:20:27.36\00:20:29.49
for being here with us,
00:20:29.52\00:20:30.93
taking time from
your busy schedule.
00:20:30.96\00:20:32.66
And thank you for partnering
with Pathway to Health.
00:20:32.69\00:20:35.63
And we look
forward to Pathway Phoenix.
00:20:35.66\00:20:38.57
Thank you, well, I look
forward to see you all there.
00:20:38.60\00:20:40.57
Thank you, Dr.
Hart. Bye-bye. Bye.
00:20:40.60\00:20:45.17
So what a blessing to
have Dr. Hart and his wife
00:20:45.21\00:20:48.04
actually come as volunteers...
00:20:48.08\00:20:49.68
It's just
wonderful. To Phoenix Pathway.
00:20:49.71\00:20:52.48
Yeah, it's wonderful. Amen.
00:20:52.51\00:20:54.38
So tell me, I know you mentioned
00:20:54.42\00:20:56.55
before the dates
are December 25-27
00:20:56.58\00:20:59.59
for Pathway Phoenix.
00:20:59.62\00:21:00.96
That's correct.
Now why Christmas?
00:21:00.99\00:21:04.66
Some people saying,
00:21:04.69\00:21:06.03
"I don't want to give up
my Christmas" or whatever.
00:21:06.06\00:21:07.56
Why Christmas?
00:21:07.60\00:21:08.93
Well, yes, some people say that,
00:21:08.96\00:21:10.87
but I want to
make a special plea
00:21:10.90\00:21:12.57
to my colleagues out there.
00:21:12.60\00:21:14.77
My fellow
graduates from Loma Linda
00:21:14.80\00:21:16.81
and other medical
schools, other residences
00:21:16.84\00:21:19.77
and also our dentists,
00:21:19.81\00:21:21.18
you know, we
have many, many other
00:21:21.21\00:21:23.18
medical
professionals, optometrists,
00:21:23.21\00:21:25.08
ophthalmologists, etc.,
00:21:25.11\00:21:26.45
that we really need
you for Pathway Phoenix.
00:21:26.48\00:21:29.45
And you may be thinking
00:21:29.48\00:21:31.05
that question
like you just asked,
00:21:31.09\00:21:32.59
"December 25,
it's Christmas time
00:21:32.62\00:21:34.62
why are we doing
this on December 25?"
00:21:34.66\00:21:37.06
You know, regardless
of what religion we are,
00:21:37.09\00:21:40.26
denomination, doesn't matter.
00:21:40.30\00:21:41.63
The whole world is celebrating
00:21:41.66\00:21:43.47
the birth of
Christ at Christmas time.
00:21:43.50\00:21:46.33
You know, it's the
day that we celebrate
00:21:46.37\00:21:48.27
the day God
gave the gift of life
00:21:48.30\00:21:50.27
through His Son
Jesus, eternal life.
00:21:50.31\00:21:52.77
And we as medical professionals,
00:21:52.81\00:21:55.58
as non medical professionals
00:21:55.61\00:21:57.31
have the wonderful
opportunity of sharing that love
00:21:57.35\00:22:01.18
and that gift
with those around us,
00:22:01.22\00:22:03.05
the gift of physical, mental
00:22:03.08\00:22:04.62
and emotional
health at the same time
00:22:04.65\00:22:06.86
that we celebrate the
gift of eternal health,
00:22:06.89\00:22:09.22
eternal life with Jesus.
00:22:09.26\00:22:11.19
So for me
Christmas is the best time
00:22:11.23\00:22:14.13
in the world to be
giving this opportunity
00:22:14.16\00:22:16.23
and thereby it's not that
we're losing our Christmas,
00:22:16.26\00:22:19.50
we're actually gaining the
best Christmas to remember.
00:22:19.53\00:22:22.44
Absolutely.
00:22:22.47\00:22:23.81
Because it's all about service
and it's all about Jesus.
00:22:23.84\00:22:26.78
And it's about
ministering to those,
00:22:26.81\00:22:28.61
I mean, that's why
He came to this earth
00:22:28.64\00:22:30.35
and so you're following
in the Master's footsteps.
00:22:30.38\00:22:32.81
Exactly. Amen.
00:22:32.85\00:22:34.28
Now we have a media montage
00:22:34.32\00:22:36.35
I believe, various
media outlets you talked about
00:22:36.38\00:22:38.49
the helicopters hovering over,
00:22:38.52\00:22:40.59
so media outlets
have always been impacted
00:22:40.62\00:22:43.59
by what takes place at Pathway.
00:22:43.63\00:22:44.96
You know, it affects
the volunteers by far.
00:22:44.99\00:22:48.23
I mean, Dr. Hart
talked about that,
00:22:48.26\00:22:49.76
it changes our perspective,
00:22:49.80\00:22:51.73
it keeps us with
our goals in mind
00:22:51.77\00:22:54.54
of why we even went into these
various careers of medicine
00:22:54.57\00:22:57.71
but what it also does is
it impacts the community.
00:22:57.74\00:23:00.78
And you are right that
video really shows the impact
00:23:00.81\00:23:04.78
that Pathway to
Health has on the community.
00:23:04.81\00:23:06.65
That's wonderful. Let's
take a look at that now.
00:23:06.68\00:23:08.78
Long lines expected at
the L.A. Convention Center
00:23:13.89\00:23:16.36
for the next couple of days
not for a concert or show there
00:23:16.39\00:23:19.86
but for some much
needed healthcare.
00:23:19.89\00:23:22.06
Thousands of healthcare
professionals and volunteers
00:23:22.10\00:23:24.77
are providing much
needed medical and dental care
00:23:24.80\00:23:27.10
to people without insurance.
00:23:27.14\00:23:28.77
And today is the final day
of a three day health clinic
00:23:28.80\00:23:31.37
at the Los
Angeles Convention Center.
00:23:31.41\00:23:33.41
People who are
uninsured or underinsured
00:23:33.44\00:23:36.44
can get free
medical and dental services.
00:23:36.48\00:23:39.71
No insurance or
identification is required
00:23:39.75\00:23:42.48
and you do not
need an appointment.
00:23:42.52\00:23:44.29
This is so extensive,
they're offering haircuts,
00:23:44.32\00:23:46.96
free clothing as well as surgery
00:23:46.99\00:23:49.52
for a lot of the people here
00:23:49.56\00:23:50.89
who have been lined up overnight
00:23:50.93\00:23:52.26
to get this
free medical service.
00:23:52.29\00:23:54.10
The mega clinic was
organized by a nonprofit called
00:23:54.13\00:23:57.10
Your Best Pathway to
Health, a humanitarian service.
00:23:57.13\00:24:00.80
The Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:24:00.84\00:24:02.84
that puts on mega
clinics all over North America.
00:24:02.87\00:24:05.94
A humanitarian clinic put on
00:24:05.97\00:24:07.61
by Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:24:07.64\00:24:09.58
No ID, no insurance, no problem.
00:24:09.61\00:24:12.11
Ten thousand people are expected
00:24:12.15\00:24:13.78
to pass through here
over the next three days
00:24:13.82\00:24:16.18
and organizers say
00:24:16.22\00:24:17.55
they're going to try to process
as many people as they can.
00:24:17.59\00:24:20.12
This was so special to watch,
all the healing being done,
00:24:20.16\00:24:23.69
it's called the
Best Pathway to Health.
00:24:23.73\00:24:26.19
Unlike any other
mega health clinic
00:24:26.23\00:24:28.23
I've seen in L.A.,
00:24:28.26\00:24:29.60
we're talking there
were actual surgeries
00:24:29.63\00:24:31.70
being performed inside
the Convention Center today.
00:24:31.73\00:24:34.44
The Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:24:34.47\00:24:36.10
has put on this massive clinic
in cities across the country.
00:24:36.14\00:24:39.37
It's the first time organizers
have brought it to Los Angeles
00:24:39.41\00:24:42.18
in its third year.
00:24:42.21\00:24:43.78
Amen.
00:24:43.81\00:24:45.15
What an incredible testimony
to the power of the gospel.
00:24:45.18\00:24:48.38
You know, I'm
reminded of that quote
00:24:48.42\00:24:49.75
from Ellen White
where she says that,
00:24:49.78\00:24:51.79
"The health message is
the right arm of the gospel."
00:24:51.82\00:24:54.36
But I don't think we
ever thought years ago
00:24:54.39\00:24:57.39
that it would
actually look like this.
00:24:57.43\00:24:59.49
You know, like free medical care
00:24:59.53\00:25:01.33
and free medical clinic.
00:25:01.36\00:25:02.73
Do you see that type of impact
00:25:02.76\00:25:04.53
in the community
with news coverage,
00:25:04.57\00:25:07.04
with people just been astounded
00:25:07.07\00:25:08.40
by what's taking
place not just in L.A.
00:25:08.44\00:25:10.37
but the other venues as well.
00:25:10.41\00:25:12.07
We have, we've
definitely seen that
00:25:12.11\00:25:13.98
in every event we've gone to.
00:25:14.01\00:25:15.34
Yeah,
everywhere we've gone. Wow.
00:25:15.38\00:25:17.15
And you know, I think
00:25:17.18\00:25:18.51
what's especially
important right now
00:25:18.55\00:25:20.52
as we're kind of looking
00:25:20.55\00:25:21.88
at all of the
catastrophes around us,
00:25:21.92\00:25:23.55
I mean, just in the last what,
two weeks or so we've had what,
00:25:23.59\00:25:27.32
an earthquake of 8.1.
00:25:27.36\00:25:29.32
We've had how many hurricanes,
what is this, number five?
00:25:29.36\00:25:32.43
Hurricane Harvey,
Hurricane Irma especially...
00:25:32.46\00:25:34.60
Jose.
00:25:34.63\00:25:35.96
Yeah, I mean it's just,
00:25:36.00\00:25:37.33
we've just had one after another
00:25:37.37\00:25:38.93
fires of crazy
magnitude in California.
00:25:38.97\00:25:41.87
Listen to this, Dr. Lela.
00:25:41.90\00:25:44.74
This is Luke 21:25,
00:25:44.77\00:25:47.68
"And there will be
strange signs in the sun,
00:25:47.71\00:25:49.94
the moon and the stars.
00:25:49.98\00:25:51.31
And here on the earth the
nations will be in turmoil,
00:25:51.35\00:25:54.12
perplexed by the roaring
seas and the strange tides."
00:25:54.15\00:25:57.89
Does that sound
familiar? That does.
00:25:57.92\00:26:00.06
"People will be terrified
00:26:00.09\00:26:01.56
at what they see
coming up on the earth,
00:26:01.59\00:26:03.53
for the powers of the
heavens will be shaken,
00:26:03.56\00:26:06.16
then every one
will see the Son of Man
00:26:06.19\00:26:08.90
coming on a cloud
with power and great glory.
00:26:08.93\00:26:11.97
So when all these
things begin to happen,
00:26:12.00\00:26:14.17
stand and look up for
your salvation is near."
00:26:14.20\00:26:18.14
And what's so
exciting to me as when we stand
00:26:18.17\00:26:21.18
and look up the answer,
00:26:21.21\00:26:22.64
you know, you are
going to read to us
00:26:22.68\00:26:24.05
before about Mathew,
00:26:24.08\00:26:25.41
we were talking
before the set Mathew 25:35.
00:26:25.45\00:26:28.52
The answer to
Matthew 24 and Luke 21
00:26:28.55\00:26:31.25
like Pastor Benny just mentioned
00:26:31.29\00:26:33.05
is when you see...
00:26:33.09\00:26:35.06
I'll go... I won't catch you up.
00:26:35.09\00:26:36.66
Go and read it ahead.
00:26:36.69\00:26:38.96
Matthew 25:35,
00:26:38.99\00:26:41.20
"For I was hungry
and you gave me food,"
00:26:41.23\00:26:43.43
this is, we call it the
sheep and the goats, right?
00:26:43.47\00:26:45.87
"I was hungry
and you gave me food.
00:26:45.90\00:26:47.64
I was thirsty and
you gave me drink.
00:26:47.67\00:26:49.94
I was a stranger
and you took me in.
00:26:49.97\00:26:52.81
I was naked and you clothed me.
I was sick and you visited me.
00:26:52.84\00:26:56.08
I was in prison
and you came to me.
00:26:56.11\00:26:58.31
Then the righteous
will answer him saying,
00:26:58.35\00:26:59.95
"Lord, when did we see
you hungry and feed you,
00:26:59.98\00:27:02.28
you're thirsty
and give you drink?
00:27:02.32\00:27:03.89
When did all these
things take place?"
00:27:03.92\00:27:05.72
And he says, "In as
much as you've done it
00:27:05.75\00:27:07.89
to the least of these my
brethren you did it to me."
00:27:07.92\00:27:10.19
"And so what's
so beautiful to me,
00:27:10.23\00:27:12.26
Jill, is that
when we see the signs
00:27:12.29\00:27:14.66
of Matthew 24 and Luke 21,
00:27:14.70\00:27:17.97
we know Jesus is
about to come back
00:27:18.00\00:27:21.37
and then Jesus says, if
we want to be His sheep,
00:27:21.40\00:27:24.07
His sheep will be
out feeding the hungry,
00:27:24.11\00:27:27.08
clothing those who
don't have clothes,
00:27:27.11\00:27:29.34
healing the sick.
00:27:29.38\00:27:30.91
What an awesome opportunity,
00:27:30.95\00:27:32.35
we talk about it
at Christmas time.
00:27:32.38\00:27:34.48
Let's get out
together. Let's be Jesus' sheep.
00:27:34.52\00:27:37.79
And let's feed those hungry.
00:27:37.82\00:27:39.42
Let's cloth those naked
00:27:39.45\00:27:40.86
and let's heal
those sick on the day
00:27:40.89\00:27:43.22
that we
celebrate the gift of life
00:27:43.26\00:27:45.36
through Jesus' birth.
00:27:45.39\00:27:46.73
I'm just so excited. Amen.
00:27:46.76\00:27:48.56
And you all have
several ministries
00:27:48.60\00:27:49.96
that are partnering with
you, correct, in this outreach?
00:27:50.00\00:27:52.03
It's correct.
00:27:52.07\00:27:53.40
It's huge, Pastor Benny,
00:27:53.44\00:27:54.77
why don't you tell us
a few of those ministries
00:27:54.80\00:27:56.14
that are partnering with us.
00:27:56.17\00:27:57.51
Well, we've already
talked about GYC being involved.
00:27:57.54\00:28:00.51
And Loma Linda
University Health.
00:28:00.54\00:28:01.88
And the Loma Linda University,
the Adventists Health System,
00:28:01.91\00:28:06.25
these people are
involved with this
00:28:06.28\00:28:08.25
but we look for a lot of
00:28:08.28\00:28:10.35
other
sponsorship from hospitals,
00:28:10.39\00:28:14.09
large medical supply companies
00:28:14.12\00:28:17.09
like in
furnishing X-ray equipment,
00:28:17.13\00:28:19.76
there's a lot of things
that we need for these events.
00:28:19.79\00:28:22.66
And we find companies
00:28:22.70\00:28:24.03
that are willing
to partner with us
00:28:24.07\00:28:26.20
in providing these
different things that we need.
00:28:26.23\00:28:29.50
So therefore this is,
00:28:29.54\00:28:32.24
we're most of the time
00:28:32.27\00:28:34.34
we're dealing with
cutting edge technologies
00:28:34.38\00:28:39.11
in the services that
we're able to provide.
00:28:39.15\00:28:41.85
People go through
with their mouths open
00:28:41.88\00:28:44.75
and they just cannot believe
00:28:44.79\00:28:46.35
what they're
seeing that's taking place
00:28:46.39\00:28:48.32
in a convention center.
00:28:48.36\00:28:50.16
And as far as, you know,
you talked about partnership,
00:28:50.19\00:28:52.76
what I'm so excited about
00:28:52.79\00:28:54.63
as Pastor Benny
mentioned is that,
00:28:54.66\00:28:56.97
you know, we've always
obviously our target population
00:28:57.00\00:29:00.27
is the uninsured,
underinsured, homeless, etc,
00:29:00.30\00:29:02.87
those who are hungry and naked
00:29:02.90\00:29:04.84
but we have huge populations
of refugees in Phoenix, Arizona.
00:29:04.87\00:29:10.61
I was surprised,
here it's my own city
00:29:10.65\00:29:12.78
I was surprised of
the thousands of people
00:29:12.81\00:29:15.48
from Burma, from Thailand
00:29:15.52\00:29:17.62
from different
countries around the world
00:29:17.65\00:29:20.26
the 10/40 window,
00:29:20.29\00:29:22.09
all of them
located within Phoenix.
00:29:22.12\00:29:24.19
And so we are in partnership
with Adventist World Radio,
00:29:24.23\00:29:28.16
total member involvement
there by the General Conference,
00:29:28.20\00:29:30.37
of course, the North American
division refugee ministries,
00:29:30.40\00:29:33.13
the specific union conference,
00:29:33.17\00:29:35.30
the Arizona conference and
of course, 3ABN and Hope TV
00:29:35.34\00:29:40.28
and the list
goes on and on and on.
00:29:40.31\00:29:42.44
Working together to
reach these groups of people
00:29:42.48\00:29:45.58
not only within
the city of Phoenix
00:29:45.61\00:29:47.82
but also in their
own home countries
00:29:47.85\00:29:50.79
where this is going to
have the potential of having
00:29:50.82\00:29:52.79
a simultaneous worldwide effect
00:29:52.82\00:29:55.02
of showing the
love of Jesus at a time
00:29:55.06\00:29:57.53
when the whole
world is confused...
00:29:57.56\00:29:58.89
So how can that happen?
That's exactly my question.
00:29:58.93\00:30:03.23
Are you going to fly
them over to Phoenix or...
00:30:03.26\00:30:05.87
No, we're not
taking our volunteers
00:30:05.90\00:30:07.47
and flying them
to other country.
00:30:07.50\00:30:10.01
So what we're
doing is for example,
00:30:10.04\00:30:12.77
Adventist World Radio is
providing us with GodPods
00:30:12.81\00:30:15.34
and on those Godpods
will be health programs,
00:30:15.38\00:30:17.98
it's kind of, like a
little radio if you will.
00:30:18.01\00:30:20.25
And they'll have
the radio programmed
00:30:20.28\00:30:22.65
to health programs
00:30:22.68\00:30:24.95
and those
program will be provided
00:30:24.99\00:30:26.69
not just physical health
00:30:26.72\00:30:28.62
but also emotional
and spiritual health
00:30:28.66\00:30:30.86
as well on these programs
00:30:30.89\00:30:32.23
that will be in the
individual's own home language.
00:30:32.26\00:30:35.06
So they're...
00:30:35.10\00:30:36.43
So you're giving these
out when people walking in...
00:30:36.46\00:30:37.80
These are to the refugee,
these are to the refugees.
00:30:37.83\00:30:39.57
While we have them
00:30:39.60\00:30:40.97
because this is
the important thing,
00:30:41.00\00:30:43.07
take advantage of the
opportunities that you have
00:30:43.10\00:30:45.94
when the people
are there with you.
00:30:45.97\00:30:48.24
And we try to get them
00:30:48.28\00:30:49.61
to the health
information centers
00:30:49.64\00:30:50.98
which we'll talk a
little bit more about later,
00:30:51.01\00:30:52.58
we try to get
them to there later
00:30:52.61\00:30:54.45
but while we have them there,
00:30:54.48\00:30:56.12
there is
something for these people
00:30:56.15\00:30:57.79
that we could do
and it also breaks
00:30:57.82\00:30:59.32
this language barrier
00:30:59.35\00:31:00.86
and gives them
something in their own languages
00:31:00.89\00:31:02.69
that they're comfortable with.
00:31:02.72\00:31:04.13
And in addition to that
00:31:04.16\00:31:05.56
as far as their
own home countries
00:31:05.59\00:31:07.66
we're working with various
divisions and simultaneously,
00:31:07.70\00:31:11.00
so for example a country
will actually be able to,
00:31:11.03\00:31:14.47
one of the
countries of our refugees
00:31:14.50\00:31:16.17
will actually be able to
hold various programs similar
00:31:16.20\00:31:19.67
to what we're
doing in Pathway Phoenix
00:31:19.71\00:31:22.08
in their own home country
00:31:22.11\00:31:23.58
and they will
be receiving a AWR,
00:31:23.61\00:31:26.61
Adventist World Radio Godpods
00:31:26.65\00:31:28.22
as well also programmed
with the same information.
00:31:28.25\00:31:31.55
So... At the same times?
00:31:31.59\00:31:32.92
At the same time, we're
working corresponding...
00:31:32.95\00:31:35.32
Same dates? Same dates.
00:31:35.36\00:31:36.89
And they're doing
health care? Yes, they are.
00:31:36.93\00:31:38.89
We have a doctor, Dr. Williams
00:31:38.93\00:31:40.83
who is actually
going to be hitting Congo.
00:31:40.86\00:31:43.13
We have several others
that are going to be working
00:31:43.16\00:31:44.97
with other countries as well.
00:31:45.00\00:31:46.33
It's going to be phenomenal
00:31:46.37\00:31:48.34
but we all need
to work together,
00:31:48.37\00:31:50.14
you know, that's where Jesus,
He says, "Press together,"
00:31:50.17\00:31:52.97
angel told Ellen White,
00:31:53.01\00:31:54.41
"Press together, press together,
00:31:54.44\00:31:55.78
press together as you
see the day approaching."
00:31:55.81\00:31:57.98
And I think we see
the day approaching.
00:31:58.01\00:31:59.71
So the time to press
together I believe is now.
00:31:59.75\00:32:02.42
Wow. That's incredible.
00:32:02.45\00:32:04.29
For some reason I had
not captured that before
00:32:04.32\00:32:06.45
and she shared a little
bit with me before the program
00:32:06.49\00:32:08.76
but I had not captured that.
00:32:08.79\00:32:10.16
So,
simultaneously around the world
00:32:10.19\00:32:12.79
between December 25-27
00:32:12.83\00:32:14.96
in some of these
foreign countries...
00:32:15.00\00:32:16.33
In some of these
foreign countries
00:32:16.36\00:32:17.70
that's correspond with refugees.
00:32:17.73\00:32:20.24
In other words the
refugees get the understanding
00:32:20.27\00:32:22.70
that it's not just me
that's being impacted,
00:32:22.74\00:32:25.44
it's my family and
my own home country
00:32:25.47\00:32:28.58
is getting the
benefit of health,
00:32:28.61\00:32:30.35
Jesus' gift of
life. But that's not all.
00:32:30.38\00:32:33.21
And that's not all.
00:32:33.25\00:32:34.58
Okay, tell us more.
That's just a small part.
00:32:34.62\00:32:35.95
Because we have people,
we have a rally coming up,
00:32:35.98\00:32:38.49
what are the dates,
Lela, for the rally?
00:32:38.52\00:32:39.85
September 22-24 in Phoenix
00:32:39.89\00:32:42.22
we're having a big rally session
00:32:42.26\00:32:43.66
and we're
training the local people
00:32:43.69\00:32:46.16
right there in my home
state, in my hometown Phoenix,
00:32:46.19\00:32:50.00
how we're going to
be able to follow up
00:32:50.03\00:32:52.37
with these patients
00:32:52.40\00:32:53.74
that come to the mega
event there in Phoenix.
00:32:53.77\00:32:56.04
The courses will
continue afterwards on ways
00:32:56.07\00:32:58.77
that they can
improve their health,
00:32:58.81\00:33:00.14
we're going to show them
00:33:00.18\00:33:01.51
from various depression
courses diabetes undone,
00:33:01.54\00:33:05.41
natural
lifestyle cooking school,
00:33:05.45\00:33:07.05
there's lots of different
courses that continue on
00:33:07.08\00:33:09.45
and then those
patients are continued
00:33:09.48\00:33:11.02
to be offered
over a course of time
00:33:11.05\00:33:13.59
not just physical, emotional
00:33:13.62\00:33:15.66
and eventually spiritual health.
00:33:15.69\00:33:17.43
But that's not all.
00:33:17.46\00:33:18.79
So can I just ask
something before we go to
00:33:18.83\00:33:20.60
that's not all the next thing.
00:33:20.63\00:33:22.00
So when people come in,
00:33:22.03\00:33:23.37
you get their
contact information
00:33:23.40\00:33:24.93
and then you say, "Okay,
do you want something..."
00:33:24.97\00:33:26.30
What would you be interested in?
00:33:26.33\00:33:27.67
You get to look at a
list and say, you know...
00:33:27.70\00:33:29.47
Like a survey. Exactly.
00:33:29.50\00:33:30.84
Well, and also the
doctor works or the doctor
00:33:30.87\00:33:32.84
or the dentist
works with the patient.
00:33:32.87\00:33:34.21
So let's say
the patient comes in
00:33:34.24\00:33:35.58
and the patient has
very high blood pressure.
00:33:35.61\00:33:37.88
And the doctor says, "You
know, you're going to need
00:33:37.91\00:33:40.08
some medication to
get this under control,"
00:33:40.12\00:33:41.72
we send them
over to our pharmacy
00:33:41.75\00:33:43.18
they get up to three months
free supply of medication.
00:33:43.22\00:33:46.92
But then they say
on the exit section,
00:33:46.96\00:33:49.29
"You know, we
have some courses yeah,
00:33:49.32\00:33:51.26
you've got the medication
00:33:51.29\00:33:52.63
but we have some
courses on simple changes
00:33:52.66\00:33:54.90
you can make in your health
that will actually help you to.
00:33:54.93\00:33:58.03
In many cases it helps you
00:33:58.07\00:33:59.40
to overcome your
high blood pressure
00:33:59.43\00:34:00.77
using diet and lifestyle.
00:34:00.80\00:34:02.14
So you're going to want
to come to this location
00:34:02.17\00:34:03.71
because it's
closest to your house
00:34:03.74\00:34:05.51
and they'll be
teaching you x, y, z courses."
00:34:05.54\00:34:07.78
Wow.
00:34:07.81\00:34:09.14
And that comes from the doctors.
00:34:09.18\00:34:10.51
So of course, you think,
00:34:10.55\00:34:11.88
"Of course I want to
follow up with this."
00:34:11.91\00:34:13.25
So we have this going on locally
00:34:13.28\00:34:14.78
but also
internationally as well.
00:34:14.82\00:34:16.89
Oh, yeah, and
one of the ways is,
00:34:16.92\00:34:18.25
that's going to take
place is that we have people
00:34:18.29\00:34:21.12
who have become
experienced in working
00:34:21.16\00:34:24.76
with something called Whatsapp.
00:34:24.79\00:34:26.66
Yes.
00:34:26.70\00:34:28.03
And Whatsapp has worldwide reach
00:34:28.06\00:34:30.87
and so we're going to
be able to help people
00:34:30.90\00:34:33.17
understand how
they here in the U.S.
00:34:33.20\00:34:35.90
can be in contact
with their people at home.
00:34:35.94\00:34:38.37
But we have people
00:34:38.41\00:34:39.74
who are teaching as many as
2,000-4,000 people on a daily
00:34:39.77\00:34:45.68
or a weekly basis with Whatsapp,
00:34:45.71\00:34:48.48
they're able to share
these health principles
00:34:48.52\00:34:50.85
and other things that
people are wanting to know
00:34:50.89\00:34:54.06
and then they develop
as this thing gets started.
00:34:54.09\00:34:56.69
So they have like a...
00:34:56.73\00:34:58.06
And all this is being
taught at our rally session
00:34:58.09\00:34:59.89
September 22 to 24,
00:34:59.93\00:35:01.66
so we will be
having a live uplink.
00:35:01.70\00:35:04.33
So for those of
you who can't join us,
00:35:04.37\00:35:06.23
our viewing audience
that can't join us in Phoenix
00:35:06.27\00:35:07.90
of course, everyone's welcome.
00:35:07.94\00:35:10.07
They can watch the live uplink
so they too can learn how to...
00:35:10.11\00:35:12.71
And that's on your website?
00:35:12.74\00:35:14.08
It is. Okay.
00:35:14.11\00:35:15.44
And I want to say
00:35:15.48\00:35:16.81
we're going to air this
program here coming soon
00:35:16.85\00:35:18.35
but then of course,
00:35:18.38\00:35:19.71
it might air again prior
to Pathway Health Phoenix
00:35:19.75\00:35:23.05
because we want to make
sure that those people at home
00:35:23.08\00:35:25.52
get the most
opportunity to come volunteer
00:35:25.55\00:35:28.19
and to donate to
Pathway to Health.
00:35:28.22\00:35:30.03
So we want to make sure
00:35:30.06\00:35:31.39
we air this
program several times
00:35:31.43\00:35:32.76
between now and
when that takes place.
00:35:32.79\00:35:34.46
But if you did miss it,
00:35:34.50\00:35:36.16
if you're watching
this program and you say,
00:35:36.20\00:35:38.03
"I missed that live
broadcast on your website,"
00:35:38.07\00:35:41.07
you can always go to the website
00:35:41.10\00:35:42.80
and you have it
downloadable there.
00:35:42.84\00:35:45.44
Is that correct? That's correct.
00:35:45.47\00:35:46.81
So PathwayToHealthVolunteer.org,
00:35:46.84\00:35:49.71
they'll be able to watch there.
00:35:49.74\00:35:51.11
And we will, but that's
PathwayToHealthVolunteer.org
00:35:51.15\00:35:55.55
and we will also put up
00:35:55.58\00:35:56.92
all the contact
information at the end as well.
00:35:56.95\00:35:59.79
Great.
00:35:59.82\00:36:01.16
So tell me we've been talking
about all this partnership
00:36:01.19\00:36:03.96
and everything
that's been taking place
00:36:03.99\00:36:05.79
and that is exciting to see
00:36:05.83\00:36:07.76
it going simultaneously
in all over the world
00:36:07.80\00:36:10.57
and what God is doing
00:36:10.60\00:36:12.00
but there also is
stories, testimonies.
00:36:12.03\00:36:15.07
Pathway is not
just an organization
00:36:15.10\00:36:16.97
that impacts media people,
00:36:17.01\00:36:19.31
it's not just an organization
that impacts the volunteers,
00:36:19.34\00:36:23.81
and the doctors,
and nurses who go
00:36:23.85\00:36:25.48
but it also impacts
people, the patients.
00:36:25.51\00:36:28.12
So tell me, you have a story?
00:36:28.15\00:36:29.82
Yeah,
definitely, definitely does,
00:36:29.85\00:36:31.55
Jill, there are so
many, many, stories
00:36:31.59\00:36:33.29
but it does make
me think of Carolina.
00:36:33.32\00:36:35.22
Carolina was a young woman,
00:36:35.26\00:36:36.69
she lived in Riverside-San
Bernardino area of California,
00:36:36.73\00:36:41.20
she had been
suffering with something
00:36:41.23\00:36:42.56
since she was born it's
called a congenital nevus.
00:36:42.60\00:36:44.93
It's basically a
whole bunch of raised moles,
00:36:44.97\00:36:48.37
if you will, all over her neck.
00:36:48.40\00:36:49.90
It was so bad that
she had to feel like,
00:36:49.94\00:36:52.41
she had to wear turtlenecks
essentially all the time
00:36:52.44\00:36:54.84
or she had to keep her
hair down around her neck.
00:36:54.88\00:36:56.91
She was about 22 years old,
00:36:56.95\00:36:58.75
it had
drastically affected her life.
00:36:58.78\00:37:00.58
She'd gone to multiple
doctors and they'd all told her,
00:37:00.62\00:37:02.75
"I'm so sorry there's
nothing we can do for you."
00:37:02.78\00:37:05.15
Well, one day she
was driving to work
00:37:05.19\00:37:06.65
and she turned on the radio
00:37:06.69\00:37:08.19
and on her radio was an
announcement about Pathway,
00:37:08.22\00:37:11.73
Los Angeles taking place at
00:37:11.76\00:37:13.09
the Los Angeles
Convention Center.
00:37:13.13\00:37:14.90
Now Riverside-San Bernardino
00:37:14.93\00:37:16.36
is about an
hour, hour and a half,
00:37:16.40\00:37:17.93
probably hour and a half drive
00:37:17.97\00:37:19.30
depending on
traffic could be longer.
00:37:19.33\00:37:21.14
And she was on her way to work
00:37:21.17\00:37:22.70
and that they were offering
even surgical procedures
00:37:22.74\00:37:24.91
and something
sparked in her head,
00:37:24.94\00:37:26.74
"Maybe they could do
something for my neck,
00:37:26.78\00:37:28.78
this horrible thing
that affected my life,
00:37:28.81\00:37:31.58
my whole life."
00:37:31.61\00:37:32.98
And so she thought
about it and she's like,
00:37:33.01\00:37:34.35
"Oh, no, I'll get
in trouble with my job.
00:37:34.38\00:37:36.08
I got to go to work."
00:37:36.12\00:37:37.45
And when she got to
work low and behold,
00:37:37.49\00:37:39.65
for some reason
her boss wasn't there.
00:37:39.69\00:37:41.62
The one woman she
was most concerned about
00:37:41.66\00:37:43.69
and so she said,
"This is my sign.
00:37:43.73\00:37:45.16
I'm going to go to LA."
00:37:45.19\00:37:46.53
She drove to LA
00:37:46.56\00:37:47.90
and, you know, we have people
that wait hours and hours,
00:37:47.93\00:37:50.87
even many times 24
hours to be able to be seen.
00:37:50.90\00:37:53.70
She was able to actually get in,
00:37:53.74\00:37:56.30
get seen by our dermatologist
and our laser specialists.
00:37:56.34\00:38:01.14
They lasered it first
00:38:01.18\00:38:02.51
and then they were able to
cut the lesions off of her neck.
00:38:02.54\00:38:05.15
It changed her life.
00:38:05.18\00:38:07.02
It affected her in
so many, many, ways.
00:38:07.05\00:38:09.78
In fact, I think we have a video
00:38:09.82\00:38:11.59
of her comments on the effect
00:38:11.62\00:38:13.59
that taking this lesion off of
her neck had on her personally.
00:38:13.62\00:38:17.03
Amen. Let's take a
look at that video.
00:38:17.06\00:38:19.89
I'm gonna have a
new life and my smile
00:38:19.93\00:38:22.56
is gonna be
bigger than everything,
00:38:22.60\00:38:24.30
you know, like,
00:38:24.33\00:38:26.30
I just picture
myself in my wedding dress
00:38:26.33\00:38:29.30
being able to have my
hair up is amazing, you know.
00:38:29.34\00:38:34.48
Being able to go to the beach
00:38:34.51\00:38:36.75
and just letting
my hair go crazy,
00:38:36.78\00:38:39.08
you know, it's
just being able...
00:38:39.11\00:38:41.78
It's a new freedom for me
and I'm blessed to say that.
00:38:41.82\00:38:45.65
I'm very, very,
happy beyond everything.
00:38:45.69\00:38:50.06
I just thank them so much,
00:38:50.09\00:38:51.53
you know, I'm very, very, happy.
00:38:51.56\00:38:54.36
I feel like a new person.
00:38:54.40\00:38:56.06
Amen. That's
incredible. What a difference.
00:39:02.54\00:39:04.87
She's a beautiful girl,
00:39:04.91\00:39:06.41
and that thing she had to
try to cover that all the time.
00:39:06.44\00:39:09.04
Trying to keep her hair down
and she was just so embarrassed
00:39:09.08\00:39:11.38
but, you know what Jill,
00:39:11.41\00:39:12.75
the most beautiful
thing about it is that again,
00:39:12.78\00:39:15.65
her physical life
was completely changed
00:39:15.68\00:39:18.49
but the doctor,
the dermatologist
00:39:18.52\00:39:20.42
that was able to
remove these lesions,
00:39:20.46\00:39:22.82
for a long time it took him
00:39:22.86\00:39:24.19
to be able to take
all these lesions off,
00:39:24.23\00:39:26.03
he studied with her afterwards.
00:39:26.06\00:39:28.00
He happened to
live in the same area
00:39:28.03\00:39:29.86
where she lived in San
Bernardino Riverside area.
00:39:29.90\00:39:32.90
He invited her
to a Sabbath school
00:39:32.93\00:39:34.70
there at Loma
Linda University Church.
00:39:34.74\00:39:37.31
She came Sabbath after Sabbath,
00:39:37.34\00:39:39.41
he began to study with her
00:39:39.44\00:39:40.78
and telling her
about spiritual health
00:39:40.81\00:39:42.51
and the beauty
that Jesus offers to her
00:39:42.54\00:39:44.91
on a much higher degree
00:39:44.95\00:39:46.28
even than our physical bodies
00:39:46.31\00:39:48.32
and she ended up
giving her heart to Jesus
00:39:48.35\00:39:50.39
and was baptized.
00:39:50.42\00:39:51.75
Amen. It was so beautiful.
00:39:51.79\00:39:53.56
It was so
beautiful and she continues
00:39:53.59\00:39:55.29
to bring her friends to
this Sabbath school called
00:39:55.32\00:39:57.59
Advent Hope there at
Loma Linda on a weekly basis.
00:39:57.63\00:40:00.56
The gorgeous beauty of this is
00:40:00.60\00:40:02.53
just like Jesus
tells us in Matthew 25,
00:40:02.56\00:40:05.67
His sheep are out
providing these services
00:40:05.70\00:40:09.04
to the many, many, other
sheep that don't yet know Him.
00:40:09.07\00:40:11.97
What an awesome opportunity
00:40:12.01\00:40:13.51
each of us have
at Christmas again,
00:40:13.54\00:40:15.48
to be that gift that
physical, mental, emotional,
00:40:15.51\00:40:19.01
gift to another Carolina,
another Maria, another Jose,
00:40:19.05\00:40:22.75
another Susie, we don't know.
00:40:22.78\00:40:24.55
Amen.
00:40:24.59\00:40:25.92
What an incredible ministry
00:40:25.95\00:40:28.06
and to have the
follow up and to know
00:40:28.09\00:40:29.79
what's taking place in her life.
00:40:29.82\00:40:31.73
Now I'm so excited.
Praise God what he's doing.
00:40:31.76\00:40:35.20
So we're talking
specifically this program
00:40:35.23\00:40:37.80
about Pathway Phoenix
and so you need volunteers.
00:40:37.83\00:40:41.67
Tell me, what
type of volunteers?
00:40:41.70\00:40:44.67
What type of
medical professionals?
00:40:44.71\00:40:46.37
What type of, now not everybody
00:40:46.41\00:40:47.84
who comes to volunteer
is a medical professional.
00:40:47.88\00:40:50.31
So what type of
specific volunteers
00:40:50.35\00:40:52.15
do you need right now?
00:40:52.18\00:40:53.52
I'll talk about
the medical and dental
00:40:53.55\00:40:55.68
and then I'm going to ask
Pastor Benny to talk to us
00:40:55.72\00:40:57.59
some about the non-medical
services that we need.
00:40:57.62\00:41:00.82
So we need everybody by far
00:41:00.86\00:41:03.12
but we
specifically for Pathway Phoenix
00:41:03.16\00:41:05.99
are in great need of dentists,
00:41:06.03\00:41:08.53
physicians, surgeons,
00:41:08.56\00:41:10.47
optometrist,
medical professionals,
00:41:10.50\00:41:12.63
nurses, nurse practitioners.
00:41:12.67\00:41:14.24
You heard Dr.
Hart making his plea
00:41:14.27\00:41:16.37
to his colleagues
and his fellow graduates
00:41:16.40\00:41:18.84
that he has
graduated from Loma Linda
00:41:18.87\00:41:20.81
and from many of our
other medical schools
00:41:20.84\00:41:22.44
come from wherever you are.
00:41:22.48\00:41:24.15
We need you, again, this
event will not take place
00:41:24.18\00:41:28.08
if we don't have the
medical professionals.
00:41:28.12\00:41:29.95
Now again, by no
means do you have
00:41:29.98\00:41:32.29
to be a medical professional.
00:41:32.32\00:41:33.66
About 80% of our
volunteers are non-medical
00:41:33.69\00:41:36.16
and, Pastor Benny,
what kind of services
00:41:36.19\00:41:37.96
can our non-medical
volunteers participating?
00:41:37.99\00:41:40.40
There are a number of
areas that they can help
00:41:40.43\00:41:42.53
because it takes people
00:41:42.56\00:41:44.40
to handle the
organization of the people
00:41:44.43\00:41:48.77
dealing with the
flow of how they come in,
00:41:48.80\00:41:51.07
and that organization
00:41:51.11\00:41:52.44
we have to have
registration people,
00:41:52.47\00:41:54.74
we have to have people who
are involved in registering
00:41:54.78\00:41:58.85
the volunteers themselves
00:41:58.88\00:42:00.38
and getting them the
shirts that they wear
00:42:00.42\00:42:03.42
and the other things
00:42:03.45\00:42:04.79
that identify
them as a volunteer.
00:42:04.82\00:42:06.96
But in addition to that
we have a lot of equipment
00:42:06.99\00:42:10.49
that has to be set
up so we need people
00:42:10.53\00:42:13.66
and what we call venue services
00:42:13.70\00:42:16.46
that have to
deal with unloading.
00:42:16.50\00:42:17.93
We have seven semi trailers,
00:42:17.97\00:42:19.93
we have equipment on them
00:42:19.97\00:42:22.20
that has to be
taken off of the truck
00:42:22.24\00:42:24.31
and it has to be
brought inside and set up.
00:42:24.34\00:42:27.78
We have pipe and
drape that has to be set up
00:42:27.81\00:42:30.31
to make the partitions
in the convention center
00:42:30.35\00:42:33.35
so that we have
the different rooms
00:42:33.38\00:42:35.35
that we need for
doctors and for different areas,
00:42:35.38\00:42:40.39
different specialties.
00:42:40.42\00:42:41.82
So there are a lot of other
things in addition to that,
00:42:41.86\00:42:45.26
one of the nice things
00:42:45.29\00:42:46.63
that a lot of people
get to be involved in
00:42:46.66\00:42:48.36
is what's called patient
assistance and transport.
00:42:48.40\00:42:51.80
And they actually take people
00:42:51.83\00:42:53.60
we don't just send
people in the door and say,
00:42:53.64\00:42:55.70
"Go find your way."
00:42:55.74\00:42:57.07
No, there is
someone that goes with them
00:42:57.11\00:42:59.11
from the point that
they come in the door
00:42:59.14\00:43:01.98
and they register until
they get to the department
00:43:02.01\00:43:05.85
where they're going.
00:43:05.88\00:43:07.38
And from, at every step
of them there's a person
00:43:07.42\00:43:10.72
who takes them from
that to the next step
00:43:10.75\00:43:13.12
so we lead them
through all of this
00:43:13.15\00:43:15.46
rather than just
turning them loose.
00:43:15.49\00:43:17.23
So that's a
large number of people
00:43:17.26\00:43:19.49
that are involved in that arena.
00:43:19.53\00:43:21.46
We also have food services
00:43:21.50\00:43:24.13
that we're involved with
and we're praying right now
00:43:24.17\00:43:27.04
that we can get the permission
from the city of Phoenix
00:43:27.07\00:43:30.21
to be able to provide
our own food which is...
00:43:30.24\00:43:32.87
You provide food? We do.
00:43:32.91\00:43:34.81
We do provide a
lunch meal for the patients
00:43:34.84\00:43:38.08
and the
volunteers that are there
00:43:38.11\00:43:39.55
and again, the idea is
we want to feed the hungry.
00:43:39.58\00:43:42.55
Many of these people have
been waiting all night long
00:43:42.58\00:43:44.79
to be serviced,
you know, some people
00:43:44.82\00:43:46.39
haven't even had a
meal in a several days,
00:43:46.42\00:43:48.99
what a beautiful opportunity.
00:43:49.02\00:43:50.36
But in addition to
what Pastor Benny has said,
00:43:50.39\00:43:52.46
we also offer some non
medical professional services
00:43:52.49\00:43:56.26
such as legal services
so we have free legal care.
00:43:56.30\00:43:59.57
Business plan...
So you need lawyers?
00:43:59.60\00:44:00.94
We need lawyers,
00:44:00.97\00:44:02.30
we need
financial business planners
00:44:02.34\00:44:03.67
because we provide
them business planning.
00:44:03.71\00:44:05.91
We also have for
the very first time
00:44:05.94\00:44:07.94
we're going to be offering
00:44:07.98\00:44:09.31
and getting started ESL classes.
00:44:09.34\00:44:11.61
So our teachers
are greatly needed.
00:44:11.65\00:44:14.02
Everybody has a
role, so if you...
00:44:14.05\00:44:16.65
Beauty and barber
services. And clothing.
00:44:16.69\00:44:19.02
And we particularly need
people that have Arizona license
00:44:19.05\00:44:22.82
because we're having a challenge
00:44:22.86\00:44:24.19
with that
licensing board right now.
00:44:24.23\00:44:25.83
So we need people
that have Arizona license
00:44:25.86\00:44:28.30
in the beauty and Barber area.
00:44:28.33\00:44:29.66
And also a full
clothing department again,
00:44:29.70\00:44:31.53
clothing those who are naked.
00:44:31.57\00:44:33.17
But what we say at Pathway is,
00:44:33.20\00:44:35.20
if you have a smile
and you have a heartbeat,
00:44:35.24\00:44:37.77
you can volunteer.
00:44:37.81\00:44:39.14
Amen.
00:44:39.17\00:44:40.51
Now you're looking for
2000 volunteers specifically?
00:44:40.54\00:44:41.88
We need 2000 volunteers.
00:44:41.91\00:44:43.55
Yes, we need another
2000 in order to hit our goal.
00:44:43.58\00:44:47.75
We already have
about a thousand.
00:44:47.78\00:44:49.38
In order to hit our
goal of 10,000 patients
00:44:49.42\00:44:51.99
which we really like to do
00:44:52.02\00:44:53.36
but there's a few
other things we need as well.
00:44:53.39\00:44:55.79
Besides the volunteers
which is a vitally important.
00:44:55.82\00:44:59.89
If you have a heartbeat,
00:44:59.93\00:45:01.30
if you can in any way
shape or form get out and help,
00:45:01.33\00:45:04.67
we encourage you to go
to Phoenix and to sign up.
00:45:04.70\00:45:08.00
You got to sign up first,
00:45:08.04\00:45:09.37
we'll give you the
contact information
00:45:09.40\00:45:10.74
for how to do that.
00:45:10.77\00:45:12.11
But to sign up to volunteer,
but in addition to that,
00:45:12.14\00:45:15.11
we need finances.
00:45:15.14\00:45:16.48
The Pathway to Health
needs finances for Phoenix.
00:45:16.51\00:45:19.68
Well, there's a reason. Okay.
00:45:19.71\00:45:21.18
And one of the reasons is
that we don't sell anything
00:45:21.22\00:45:25.22
and we don't
charge for our services.
00:45:25.25\00:45:28.86
So therefore, we
have to have the money
00:45:28.89\00:45:31.39
to be able to operate.
00:45:31.43\00:45:32.76
These are expensive events.
00:45:32.79\00:45:34.13
Yes. To operate.
00:45:34.16\00:45:36.83
As a matter of fact,
00:45:36.87\00:45:38.20
we found that
the nice even number
00:45:38.23\00:45:41.74
that is the closest
to the actual reality
00:45:41.77\00:45:44.91
is that it cost about $100
00:45:44.94\00:45:47.18
for each patient
that comes through.
00:45:47.21\00:45:48.58
Okay.
00:45:48.61\00:45:49.94
And the more money that we have,
00:45:49.98\00:45:51.31
the more
patients we can plan for.
00:45:51.35\00:45:53.62
Right now we're in
pretty desperate need,
00:45:53.65\00:45:57.09
some of our money comes
from different organizations
00:45:57.12\00:46:00.39
who donate.
00:46:00.42\00:46:01.76
We have people like
GE and Konica Minolta
00:46:01.79\00:46:06.93
and others who donate equipment
which cuts our costs down.
00:46:06.96\00:46:10.73
Absolutely.
00:46:10.77\00:46:12.10
But we need 2000 people
00:46:12.13\00:46:14.84
that will be willing
to sponsor a patient.
00:46:14.87\00:46:17.27
Person. And to
sponsor, it's just a $100.
00:46:17.31\00:46:20.01
A $100.
00:46:20.04\00:46:21.38
You know, you
could give, you know,
00:46:21.41\00:46:22.91
I've even plugged
with our high school
00:46:22.94\00:46:24.68
and academy students,
00:46:24.71\00:46:26.05
you know, skip out and talk
about a couple times a month
00:46:26.08\00:46:28.02
and do $10 a month.
00:46:28.05\00:46:29.75
And, you know,
we all can do that
00:46:29.78\00:46:31.32
for the next 10
months or thereabouts
00:46:31.35\00:46:33.25
and so, on our
website that same website
00:46:33.29\00:46:35.89
PathwayToHealthVolunteer.org,
00:46:35.92\00:46:39.39
there is a spot on there
00:46:39.43\00:46:40.76
and I believe we
have that slide...
00:46:40.80\00:46:42.26
Yeah, we have that
slide that we can show...
00:46:42.30\00:46:43.63
Where you can click...
00:46:43.67\00:46:45.00
Where you go to click to donate.
00:46:45.03\00:46:46.37
And you just click
right there to donate
00:46:46.40\00:46:48.07
but you also use the
same website to volunteer.
00:46:48.10\00:46:51.31
So again, right
there you can see
00:46:51.34\00:46:53.04
the big blowup button
there that Pastor Benny made.
00:46:53.07\00:46:55.48
It's right up in the top
right corner, the last item.
00:46:55.51\00:46:57.68
To donate click there
00:46:57.71\00:46:59.35
and then again
you can also volunteer
00:46:59.38\00:47:01.78
on that same website
00:47:01.82\00:47:03.15
and you'll be able to get
other information as well.
00:47:03.18\00:47:05.09
Amen.
00:47:05.12\00:47:06.45
So you're looking
for 2000 volunteers.
00:47:06.49\00:47:07.86
Right, we have, we made a
presentation at Camp Meeting
00:47:07.89\00:47:11.36
at Arizona earlier this year.
00:47:11.39\00:47:13.33
We had 250 people from Arizona
00:47:13.36\00:47:17.57
that were at the Camp
Meeting that volunteered.
00:47:17.60\00:47:20.67
Well, some of them...
00:47:20.70\00:47:22.04
Volunteered or
wanted to give money.
00:47:22.07\00:47:23.41
Volunteered to give
$100 for one patient
00:47:23.44\00:47:27.34
and we had some
they did 10 patients.
00:47:27.38\00:47:31.28
So my wife and I,
00:47:31.31\00:47:32.65
we decided that
we will sponsor 10.
00:47:32.68\00:47:34.88
We had people that sponsor,
other people that sponsor 10,
00:47:34.92\00:47:38.05
we had a number of
people who sponsored 5, some 3
00:47:38.09\00:47:42.39
but you can go to the website
00:47:42.42\00:47:44.23
and click on donate
00:47:44.26\00:47:45.89
and when it comes down
00:47:45.93\00:47:47.26
then it gives you
the opportunity to say
00:47:47.30\00:47:49.36
I want to donate a
certain amount right now
00:47:49.40\00:47:51.83
or you could say
00:47:51.87\00:47:53.20
that you want to do
it on a monthly basis.
00:47:53.23\00:47:55.27
So the one on
the left let's you do
00:47:55.30\00:47:57.41
and it'll ask you
how much per month
00:47:57.44\00:47:59.61
and it'll say, how many months.
00:47:59.64\00:48:02.71
So for example for a $100
00:48:02.74\00:48:04.61
if you say I'll give $10 a month
00:48:04.65\00:48:06.05
for the text next 10 months,
00:48:06.08\00:48:08.18
you can choose that
right on the website.
00:48:08.22\00:48:10.12
So we've made it easy to do.
00:48:10.15\00:48:11.85
You can also send money
00:48:11.89\00:48:13.36
and you'll be
seeing the address later
00:48:13.39\00:48:15.79
if not now, and the address
00:48:15.82\00:48:17.39
is a post office box
1252 Collegedale, Tennessee,
00:48:17.43\00:48:20.86
which is our
corporate headquarters,
00:48:20.90\00:48:22.70
and so people can donate
by check into that address.
00:48:22.73\00:48:24.83
So the beauty, Jill,
00:48:24.87\00:48:27.10
is that we have the blessing
of being a Christmas gift
00:48:27.14\00:48:31.41
whether we can come
and volunteer in person
00:48:31.44\00:48:34.61
or whether we can
financially sponsor a patient,
00:48:34.64\00:48:38.11
what an opportunity of
being the Christmas gift
00:48:38.15\00:48:41.48
for some hurting
person out there.
00:48:41.52\00:48:44.82
And it's
important for us to know now
00:48:44.85\00:48:47.46
because now is when we're
having to make the decisions
00:48:47.49\00:48:49.92
of how many
patients we set up for.
00:48:49.96\00:48:51.96
Absolutely.
00:48:51.99\00:48:53.33
And we can't set up
for the potential of
00:48:53.36\00:48:55.03
9,000 or 10,000 people
00:48:55.06\00:48:57.80
if we don't have
the money to do that.
00:48:57.83\00:49:00.37
We have to know in advance
00:49:00.40\00:49:02.17
that we're going
to have the funds
00:49:02.20\00:49:04.11
in order to be able
to make the decision
00:49:04.14\00:49:05.91
and do the layout in all.
00:49:05.94\00:49:08.08
Our Chief Operations Officer,
00:49:08.11\00:49:09.68
George Gilbert
is now getting it,
00:49:09.71\00:49:13.15
beginning the
planning of the layout
00:49:13.18\00:49:15.08
of that convention center
00:49:15.12\00:49:16.82
so that we know exactly
00:49:16.85\00:49:18.75
how much space
we're going to take
00:49:18.79\00:49:20.96
because space costs money.
00:49:20.99\00:49:22.69
How much space and
also how to organize it
00:49:22.72\00:49:25.53
to be able to handle
certain numbers of people.
00:49:25.56\00:49:29.73
You know,
you're right absolutely
00:49:29.76\00:49:31.47
and that's why we're making
this appeal to you at home.
00:49:31.50\00:49:33.50
We want to make sure
that we need 2000 volunteers,
00:49:33.54\00:49:37.61
2000 people to step forward
00:49:37.64\00:49:39.57
and come and
volunteer physically
00:49:39.61\00:49:41.64
and 2000 volunteers
to volunteer financially.
00:49:41.68\00:49:45.25
To give a $100 a
person financially
00:49:45.28\00:49:48.35
or of course
more as you mentioned.
00:49:48.38\00:49:49.85
We have just a couple moments
00:49:49.88\00:49:51.22
and we will put up
that contact information.
00:49:51.25\00:49:54.06
I want to hear
one more testimony.
00:49:54.09\00:49:55.76
Did you tell me
about one more testimony?
00:49:55.79\00:49:57.49
I would love to tell
you one more testimony.
00:49:57.53\00:49:59.69
You know, Jill, this
whole situation reminds me
00:49:59.73\00:50:02.26
of a gentleman
by the name of Hose.
00:50:02.30\00:50:04.17
Hose was an alcoholic,
00:50:04.20\00:50:05.57
he had lost
everything to alcoholism
00:50:05.60\00:50:07.80
his wife, his
children, his family, his house,
00:50:07.84\00:50:10.27
he was homeless on the street
00:50:10.31\00:50:11.91
and he was just addicted
00:50:11.94\00:50:13.74
to this horrible
substance, alcohol.
00:50:13.78\00:50:15.58
It was Pathway, San
Antonio he got a flyer,
00:50:15.61\00:50:17.75
somehow some way he
found out about the event
00:50:17.78\00:50:20.08
and he was just hoping to
get one of his teeth worked on,
00:50:20.12\00:50:22.32
he'd had some
tooth ache etcetera.
00:50:22.35\00:50:24.19
He got to the event
00:50:24.22\00:50:25.55
and it was different
than anything he'd ever seen.
00:50:25.59\00:50:27.22
He walked through the
door and people told him,
00:50:27.26\00:50:29.26
"God bless you."
00:50:29.29\00:50:30.63
And ask him right
off the back, you know,
00:50:30.66\00:50:31.99
the people walking him
from place to place said,
00:50:32.03\00:50:34.13
"You know, we're
going to pray for you."
00:50:34.16\00:50:35.50
He went and saw the dentist.
00:50:35.53\00:50:36.87
He went in saw, he got
a brand new men's suit,
00:50:36.90\00:50:39.60
he went and got his haircut,
00:50:39.63\00:50:41.14
from place to place
over the whole event
00:50:41.17\00:50:44.07
he was just wondering,
"Who are these people?"
00:50:44.11\00:50:47.01
Hose ended up coming
00:50:47.04\00:50:48.38
to those health
information courses afterwards,
00:50:48.41\00:50:50.38
he came night after night
00:50:50.41\00:50:51.75
to those ongoing health classes.
00:50:51.78\00:50:54.18
He learned ways he
could improve his health.
00:50:54.22\00:50:55.98
He gave over his
alcoholism to Jesus,
00:50:56.02\00:50:58.59
Jesus took that away from him,
00:50:58.62\00:51:00.59
rescued him from that situation.
00:51:00.62\00:51:02.12
And then he was invited
00:51:02.16\00:51:03.63
to follow up gospel, evangelism,
00:51:03.66\00:51:06.49
spiritual health courses
00:51:06.53\00:51:07.86
and he came after
night to those series
00:51:07.90\00:51:10.77
and at the end of the
series by Ellen Handel Beone,
00:51:10.80\00:51:13.67
he gave his heart to
Jesus and was baptized,
00:51:13.70\00:51:16.14
a member of Jesus' church.
00:51:16.17\00:51:18.17
It is so beautiful, God
rescued him from his alcoholism,
00:51:18.21\00:51:21.71
gave him a brand new life in him
00:51:21.74\00:51:23.91
and that is what
Jesus offers to us
00:51:23.95\00:51:26.21
to be that
individual that shares him
00:51:26.25\00:51:29.05
with those who are hurting.
00:51:29.08\00:51:31.12
To me that's being the
hands and feet of Jesus,
00:51:31.15\00:51:33.96
it's getting out
of our comfort zone
00:51:33.99\00:51:36.32
out of myself and my own life
00:51:36.36\00:51:38.19
and focusing on the
needs of someone else.
00:51:38.23\00:51:40.50
So thank you so much
00:51:40.53\00:51:42.03
we will have a
moment at the end hear
00:51:42.06\00:51:43.77
some closing thoughts from
both Dr. Lela and Pastor Benny.
00:51:43.80\00:51:46.90
But right now
what we want to do is
00:51:46.94\00:51:49.07
put up the contact information,
00:51:49.10\00:51:50.77
this website and
contact information
00:51:50.81\00:51:53.04
for Your Best Pathway to Health.
00:51:53.07\00:51:55.01
My heart has been
inspired and energized anew
