00:07 Mending broken people 00:12 I want to spend my life 00:18 Removing pain 00:23 Lord, let my words 00:29 Heal a heart that hurts 00:34 I want to spend my life 00:40 Mending broken people 00:45 I want to spend my life 00:51 Mending broken people 01:07 Hello, and welcome to another 3ABN Today program. 01:10 My name is Jill Morikone. 01:11 And we are delighted that you've taken from your day, 01:15 set aside that time to share with us here at 3ABN. 01:19 I love the Today program 01:21 because we get to feature ministries, 01:23 ministry that's happening all over the world, 01:26 and we get to bring that to you at home. 01:28 And today is no exception. 01:29 I'm very excited about this ministry. 01:31 I have one friend on the program, 01:34 and two brand new friends, and sisters in Jesus. 01:37 And we're going to be talking about ARME. 01:39 Now this is not an ARME where you go out and march, 01:42 or join the ARME. 01:43 This is the Lord's ARME, 01:45 and this has to do with revival, revival camps. 01:49 And it's an incredible ministry, 01:51 and we're gonna hear what God is doing in 01:53 and through this ministry. 01:55 But first I want to introduce you 01:57 to the wonderful women on the set. 01:59 Here we have Cindy Megan, 02:00 and you are a board member for ARME, 02:02 and also the Camp director. 02:04 That's correct. 02:05 I'm a homeschooling mother of three beautiful girls, 02:07 back home, and have been involved 02:10 with ARME Bible Camp since the very beginning, 02:12 and now acting in the role as camp director, 02:15 and it's been a tremendous blessing. 02:17 Amen. So what does ARME stand for? 02:18 I know at the beginning I said, "We're not like going to war." 02:21 So well, maybe spiritually, we're in the battlefield, 02:23 I guess, you could say. 02:25 But what does ARME stand for? That's correct. 02:26 Well, initially, it meant, 02:29 it was a play on words of arming me 02:32 with the sword of the spirit. 02:33 So we said, arm me with the sword of spirit. 02:36 But after a while, after several camps, 02:38 we started saying, "Hey, this actually fits 02:41 if we say Adventist Revival Movement 02:43 for the End-times." 02:44 So it kind of grew into that, and that's truly what it is. 02:47 It's a revival camp. Amen. 02:49 Revival camp, revival movement, 02:51 and at 3ABN, we believe in that. 02:53 God calls me, God calls you, each one of us 02:56 to do that revival, and to be revived. 02:59 And so praise the Lord. 03:01 We're going to hear all about that. 03:02 Now you and your husband and family live out west? 03:04 We live out west. 03:06 We live about 10 minutes up the hill 03:08 from Weimar Institute 03:09 in the little town called Colfax. 03:11 Wonderful. That's right. 03:12 Well, it's a joy to have you here. 03:13 And sitting next to you is Melody Mason. 03:15 And you're involved with prayer ministry 03:17 with the General Conference. 03:18 But in this capacity, you are here 03:20 as a board member for ARME. 03:21 And Melody, we are just so glad you're here. 03:23 Thank you. Blessing to be here. 03:25 And where is home for you? 03:27 Home is right now Silver Spring, Maryland. 03:30 Okay. Yeah. 03:31 Originally from the Ozark. 03:32 But I originally from Ozark of Arkansas. 03:34 And then now you're kind of in the city. 03:36 Yeah. 03:38 And then sitting next to you is Gisella Sandy. 03:41 And we're so glad to have you here as well. 03:43 And you're a board member for ARME. 03:45 I am a board member. 03:46 I have been for the past two years. 03:48 Okay. And where's home for you? 03:50 Home for me is Riverside, California. 03:53 Okay, now Gisella, I asked her before the program 03:57 'cause just finding out what everyone does, 03:59 and their profession and stuff 04:01 because you're all involved in ARME, 04:02 but you all have other jobs as well. 04:03 And, Gisella, tell our friends at home 04:05 what your role is? 04:07 I'm a general surgeon, and I specialize in trauma 04:09 and critical care. 04:11 General trauma and critical care, 04:12 now you're just looking at her, I thought, 04:14 "Oh, she's young and just precious. 04:17 And she's a trauma surgeon. Okay." 04:21 So what made you even become interested in trauma surgery? 04:25 You get to fix things. It's exciting. 04:27 And you get to interact in people's lives 04:30 where they're in a place that is teachable 04:33 that you can give them a message, 04:35 you can talk to them about God. 04:36 Sometimes it's a unique opportunity. 04:39 Amen. Amen. 04:40 I mean, I don't think you're ever more helpless 04:41 than when you've just had major trauma, 04:44 and to have a Seventh-day Adventist a surgeon 04:46 in there helping, praise the Lord for that. 04:49 So thank you each for coming. 04:51 And we want to talk about ARME. 04:52 But first we're going to go to our music. 04:54 We have Sandra Entermann here. 04:56 And she's just such a beautiful woman of God. 04:58 And I love to hear her sing. She ministers when she sings. 05:02 And the song that she would be doing is, 05:04 I Am Willing Lord. 05:33 Sometimes when I am down 05:39 And I don't feel like you're around, oh Lord 05:46 Feeling so sorry for me 05:51 Not knowing that all the while 05:55 You're working to see 05:58 If when I'm put through the fire 06:04 I'll come out shinin' like gold 06:09 Oh Lord 06:13 Please don't ever stop working with me 06:17 'Til you see I can be all You want me to be 06:29 I am willing, Lord 06:35 I am willing, Lord 06:41 To be just exactly what You want me to be 06:53 I am willing, Lord 07:00 I am willing, Lord 07:05 To be just exactly what You want me to be 07:18 Often when I ask why 07:23 Teach me then on You to rely, oh Lord 07:30 You surely know what is best 07:35 May I learn that in confidence and strength I can rest 07:42 Then leaning fully on You 07:47 My questions fall one by one 07:53 Dear Lord 07:56 Please don't ever stop working with me 08:00 'Til you see I can be all You want me to be 08:12 I am willing, Lord 08:18 I am willing, Lord 08:23 To be just exactly what You want me to be 08:35 I am willing, Lord 08:41 I am willing, Lord 08:47 To be just exactly what You want 08:52 To be just exactly 08:55 What You want 08:58 I want to be just exactly what You want me to be 09:25 Thank you so much, Sandra 09:27 and Sonia Katimski at the piano. 09:29 What an incredible song, I am willing, Lord, 09:32 to be just exactly what you want me to be. 09:35 If you're just joining us, we have ARME here, 09:38 and that stands for Adventist... 09:40 Revival. Revival. 09:41 Movement. Movement. 09:43 For the End-times. 09:44 I'm going to get it by the end of the program. 09:45 Adventist Revival Movement for the End-times. 09:47 And we're just so glad to have each one of you here, 09:49 Cindy Megan and Melody Mason and Gisella Sandy. 09:53 Okay. 09:55 So Cindy, tell us, you and Melody, 09:56 I know, were involved at the very beginning of ARME. 09:58 And it began, what year did it begin, 10:01 and then tell me what was the impetus 10:02 or the catalyst, how did it begin? 10:06 So GYC 2008, a very dear friend of ours Calvin Kim was talking 10:11 with Pastor Ivor Myers. 10:13 And you know, he was talking about a camp 10:16 where people could come 10:18 and he could teach them how to study the Bible. 10:21 And he said, "If only somebody could run this camp for me." 10:24 And Calvin just raised his hand and said, 10:25 "I could do it for you. I'll do everything. 10:27 All you need to do is show up." 10:28 And so through much prayer and God's leading, 10:31 he started to put together a team 10:33 which Melody and myself were a part of. 10:35 And, you know, at the time, we were just, 10:38 I was sharing with Melody earlier, 10:40 we were sharing messages with each other, 10:42 sending sermons, 10:43 and just so inspired by these speakers, 10:46 and thought, "Wouldn't it be great to go to a camp 10:48 where these speakers are sharing with us, 10:50 and showing how they study, how they do their devotions, 10:52 and teaching us how to do it 10:54 so we can learn to mind for truth as they do." 10:57 And so we just got so excited about a camp 11:00 where people could be taught to do this 11:01 because to take four months out of our lives, 11:05 as a busy mother and professionals, 11:08 it was hard to do that, but to have on Wednesday 11:10 through a Sunday where people can come, 11:12 and just be really taught in an intensive fashion 11:15 how to study the Bible 11:16 from these wonderful inspirational speakers that, 11:20 you know, are trained to equip us. 11:22 We were just thrilled to be a part of that. 11:25 And so that's how it started, it was in 2008. 11:27 And our very first camp was in 2009, 11:30 and we didn't know how many people would show up. 11:32 We thought, "Oh, dear," you know, 11:33 but within two weeks of opening up the website, 11:36 there were 30 people registered. 11:38 And it just kept adding and adding, 11:40 and by the time camp started, we had 300 people registered. 11:44 And it was just a tremendous blessing, 11:46 we saw that God had just opened the door wide open 11:48 that there was a hunger 11:50 and a need for something like this. 11:52 So your first camp was in California then. 11:54 California, in 2009. 11:55 So the camp would be similar to say, 11:59 if I went to a short-term Bible training like, 12:03 I'm trying to think, Arise, 12:05 or there's the school in Michigan 12:08 or something like that, but this was crammed 12:09 and packed into just a few days. 12:11 Is that correct? That was a long weekend... 12:12 Wednesday night through a Sunday morning. 12:15 It's correct. That's incredible. 12:17 And you both were involved from the very beginning, 12:19 Melody, you and Cindy. 12:21 Wow! Yeah. 12:22 So how would it be different from a camp meeting? 12:23 Because we know that there's many camp meetings, 12:25 and they might be a Wednesday to a Sunday, 12:27 or maybe a week long. 12:29 So how is ARME different 12:30 from just a regular camp meeting? 12:32 Well, initially, when ARME first started, 12:35 it didn't seem like the camp meetings 12:37 had a prayer component like a prayer room 12:40 that was running throughout the whole time. 12:42 And that's why I'll turn this over to Melody 12:44 because she was kind of in on the beginning stages 12:47 of the prayer ministry 12:48 that really kind of set ARME apart in the early years. 12:51 And now, praise the Lord, there's ARME Ministry, 12:54 I mean, there's prayer ministries, 12:55 and all these other conferences camp meetings as well. 13:00 And so we're so thankful to that. 13:02 But we'll have Melody 13:03 to describe the prayer component. 13:04 Sure, before we jump to that, I want to go, I think, 13:08 there's a promo video or some video, 13:10 and I have not even seen it yet. 13:11 But we want to go to the video, 13:12 and then we'll go to the prayer component, 13:14 and the other ministries that have spawned 13:16 as a result of that. 13:18 But let's go to that video now. 13:20 When I first came to ARME, 13:22 I could tell that there was something different. 13:25 ARME ministry is a God-sent ministry. 13:29 I came and there was just a spirit in ARME, 13:32 and an excitement that I just don't see every day. 13:35 It is really something that we need 13:39 at this time as a church. 13:41 There is this relentless emphasis 13:44 on the authority of the Word of God, 13:46 and then on the importance of getting the Word of God 13:48 into your life and into your mind. 13:51 I feel ARME is really equipping us 13:53 to be able to get in the Word 13:56 and, you know, rightly divide the word 13:58 and understand it, 14:00 and just strategies and tools to study. 14:03 And ARME gives practical skills something that I love 14:07 that there are things at ARME 14:08 that I can take home, I can use, 14:10 and it can help me in my work for the Lord. 14:12 Then there's something else about ARME Bible camp 14:14 that you just cannot help 14:15 but notice, the very, very strong emphasis on prayer. 14:20 It reminded me of Acts, 14:22 and how they were all in one accord, 14:24 and I just thought, "This is exactly what God wants 14:27 when we pray is us to come together like this." 14:31 And something that speaks to me about the effectiveness, 14:34 and the power of ARME Bible Camp 14:37 is the variety of people 14:39 and the amount of families that come. 14:41 Parents come bringing their children 14:43 knowing that the children will be really prevail 14:45 be impacted by the very biblical emphasis, 14:48 and the healthy strong spiritual environment. 14:51 And we have a group of 12 ladies, 14:53 and 5 of them that are non-Adventists, 14:56 one's from ARME for quite a while though 14:58 to even some ARME is with me. 15:00 One of the girls, she said, 15:02 "I had this overwhelming feeling 15:04 that I had to stand up. 15:05 I want to be baptized. 15:07 I wanted to give my heart to the Lord." 15:08 Just the other night, 15:09 my brother gave his life to the Lord. 15:11 And I just can't believe that that happened. 15:15 And I see God's working with this movement right here. 15:18 I see people's lives being changed. 15:20 It doesn't stop here. 15:22 It continues on into their personal lives, 15:25 and then affects other lives as well. 15:28 ARME Bible camps empowers you to take the ARME experience 15:32 back to your neighborhood, back to your local church. 15:35 This ministry is, in fact, 15:39 revival and reformation in action. 15:43 And I'd like to encourage everybody, 15:44 if you're anywhere near 15:46 one of the ARME Bible Camp programs, 15:48 do your best to attend. 15:49 It'll help you have a real revival 15:51 and your personal experience and relationship with the Lord. 15:56 Amen. 15:57 What an incredible video to see the change 16:01 that's taking place in people's lives, 16:03 and that focus on revival on the Word of God. 16:06 Now, Gisella, before we go any further, 16:08 we haven't gotten why you got involved in ARME, 16:10 so tell us about that? 16:12 So I first heard about ARME Bible Camp at church. 16:15 And so my background is, I was raised Adventist. 16:17 And I've always, you know, 16:19 had time that I spent in the Bible. 16:21 But before I went to ARME Bible Camp, 16:23 I can remember I tried once 16:24 'cause I'd heard about people praying all night long. 16:26 And I tried to see how long I could pray. 16:30 And the longest I could pray was five minutes. 16:33 Yeah. 16:34 I just didn't understand how people could spend 16:36 so much time in prayer. 16:37 So I went to ARME Bible Camp, and it really transformed 16:42 my personal walk with Christ. 16:44 Just giving you the tools, you know, 16:46 just how to dig into the Word and with prayer, how to pray, 16:51 and it was transformational for me. 16:55 Amen. That's an incredible testimony. 16:57 And since it changed your life, 16:58 you thought you want to get involved 17:00 and help minister for others. 17:01 So, you know, at the time, I was working quite a bit. 17:05 And, you know, I felt like I had a calling, 17:08 I needed to do something for Christ, 17:09 but I didn't know what I could do. 17:11 So I decided that, with a friend, 17:13 I would start a prayer ministry 17:15 where we had a lot of friends that had stopped, 17:16 you know, going to church, 17:18 weren't involved with Christ anymore, 17:20 and we would just get together and pray for them. 17:21 Amen. 17:23 And it was just amazing, you know, within... 17:25 So we would get together once a week 17:27 and pray together for our friends. 17:29 And within the first month that we had started praying, 17:32 one of my friends who never calls me, 17:34 called me out of the blue, and says to me, 17:35 "Gisella, I've got great news for you." 17:37 And I was like, "What?" 17:38 She's like, "I rededicated my heart to Christ." 17:40 I was stunned. I was floored. 17:42 It was amazing. 17:44 And I've had another... 17:45 So my ministry, in addition to praying for my friends, 17:49 is I try whenever possible to bring friends 17:52 to ARME Bible Camp. 17:53 So, you know, if you have a, if there's a program 17:56 you want someone to attend, and you tell them about it, 17:59 they'll listen, but they're not going to go. 18:01 But if you say, "Hey, come on, and come with me. 18:03 Let's go to ARME Bible Camp." 18:05 So over the past years since I went in 2009, 18:08 every time there was someone 18:09 that I thought might be helped by it 18:11 or sometimes I've been able to take a group of people, 18:14 "Hey, let's go to ARME." 18:15 So that's how I got involved. 18:17 Amen. Amen. 18:18 So you went to the very first one then. 18:19 No, I went to the second one. 18:21 The second one. Okay. 18:22 Amen. Oh, that's wonderful. 18:24 So what if I were to go to ARME, 18:25 or friends at home say now, what would it be like, 18:27 what is it actually like, what would be the structure 18:29 or the daily activity, what would that be like? 18:33 Well, it starts on a Wednesday night. 18:34 And we typically have an inspirational talk that night. 18:38 And then Thursday and Friday, 18:40 it's two full days, it's almost like a boot camp. 18:42 We would call it ARME Bible boot camp. 18:44 And it's really, it's instructional, 18:47 and the speakers, 18:49 all of our pastors really do workshops, 18:52 and teach, and break down their study. 18:54 And so it's pretty intense. 18:55 It's an all day, I mean, two days of full 18:59 learning how to study your Bible. 19:02 And then in the evenings, we have inspirational meetings, 19:04 and then Sabbath is always a highlight. 19:06 We always have visitors that come up on Sabbath, 19:08 and anybody is welcome to come on a Sabbath. 19:11 And they just, even being there a Sabbath afternoon 19:15 can just be a tremendous blessing, 19:17 hearing one of the talks, you know, 19:20 is just moving and inspirational to people. 19:23 But typically, it's just Wednesday 19:27 through Sunday of being fed, 19:29 and taught, and trained, and equipped, 19:32 and just being inspired to read, 19:34 but also to pray in a different way that 19:37 people just aren't praying that way in many churches, 19:41 you know, praying together, pressing together 19:43 through the United Prayer Ministry. 19:45 Amen. 19:46 Now I think we have a couple photos. 19:47 One is of musical group. 19:49 So music is a component of it? It is. 19:52 We try to have reverent 19:54 but beautiful music that is just so uplifting. 19:58 And it just really sets the tone for our camps. 20:02 Our friends in the picture, this music team, 20:04 they have a wonderful testimony of being at ARME Bible Camp 20:08 and just being revived themselves. 20:10 And I wish we had time to share more about them. 20:13 But they, each one of them 20:15 has been part of the ARME family 20:17 since the beginning. 20:18 And it's been so neat to see them 20:19 grow in their music ministry 20:21 and in their walk the Lord through attending our camps. 20:23 Amen, they've been involved since the beginning. 20:25 Yes. And what's their names? 20:28 They're The Revelation of Hope Singers. 20:30 Absolutely. 20:31 And they work with Pastor Taj in his team, right? 20:33 It's right. It's right. Yeah, it's incredible. 20:35 Amen. Amen. 20:36 And then you had another photo of some children. 20:40 Do you have any programs for children or... 20:41 We do. We do. 20:43 ARME Bible Camp is for all ages. 20:45 It really is from birth to any age. 20:48 And but we do have a children's program 20:50 specifically for ages 4 through 12. 20:53 And it's called the HEIR Force Program. 20:54 HEIR Force another play on words 20:56 is spelled H-E-I-R as being heirs of the kingdom. 21:01 Yeah. I love that. So, yeah, so HEIR Force. 21:04 HEIR Force. That's right. That's right. 21:06 And the children are learning to study the Bible, 21:09 and learning everything their parents 21:10 are learning at their level. 21:12 And so the whole family is blessed by it 21:13 when they come. 21:15 Amen. That's wonderful. 21:16 Now you mentioned prayer a couple times here. 21:18 And we want to get to that. 21:20 With the prayer, how the prayer component 21:23 is involved in the ARME camps? 21:24 And I don't know, Cindy or Melody if that's you. 21:27 Yeah, I just want to back up, just a second and say, 21:32 there's a Chinese proverb that says, 21:34 "If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. 21:38 Teach a man to fish, you feed him for a life." 21:40 And that's really been our aim and our desire 21:44 with ARME Bible Camp 21:45 is to train people themselves how to fish, 21:48 how to get in the Word, 21:50 and find those the gold nuggets for themselves. 21:53 Amen. And it's changed our lives. 21:55 You know, as we've been sharing, 21:57 helping others, it's been transformational. 22:00 But the prayer aspect of ARME, 22:04 probably, has changed my life the most. 22:06 It's because we were talking before we came in here 22:09 because of the prayer ministry 22:11 that I'm doing what I am today with prayer ministry 22:14 that would have never happened if it hadn't started 22:16 for what God's done through the ministry. 22:19 It was interesting when we started the conference, 22:23 the very first camp, before we had started, 22:26 we had a teammate came on board. 22:28 Her name's Melissa, beautiful prayer warrior. 22:31 And she was really passionate that we would start each day 22:34 with United Prayer at 6 o'clock in the morning. 22:37 And 6 o'clock, we thought it was a little bit early. 22:40 To be trying to get people to come 22:41 and pray together especially, we're hoping they'll come 22:45 for the 7 o'clock devotional. 22:47 So I have to even admit, I was one that 22:50 kind of questioned this being done. 22:53 But we finally said, "Well, we can do it. 22:55 And if people come, they come." 22:58 Anyway, that has turned out, I think, 22:59 to really add fuel Holy Spirit power 23:04 to what we have been doing with ARME. 23:06 The very first camp, we had the Morning Prayer time, 23:09 in the beginning, a few people came, 23:10 and then more and more people came. 23:11 By the end of camp, we had about a hundred people 23:14 coming in the morning to pray. 23:16 And we could just feel the Holy Spirit there. 23:18 I remember seeing grown men weeping, 23:21 and just pleading that God would do 23:22 something in their lives. 23:24 We saw lives transformed 23:26 because of those early prayer times. 23:27 We'll share more on that. 23:30 But we were just so convicted that praying needs 23:34 to not just be in the morning when we start, 23:37 but we need to be praying all day. 23:40 So the next conference that we had, 23:41 the next camps that we did, we had an all-day prayer room. 23:46 And that's where the prayer room 23:47 where just praying all day long for the attendees, 23:51 for the speakers, 23:52 just praying for the Holy Spirit 23:54 to be poured out, praying for each other. 23:55 It was beautiful. 23:57 And as the camps continued to go forward, 24:01 you know, we've had close to 30 camps 24:05 now so far since the ministry started in 2009. 24:09 We've just had more and more people 24:10 coming to the prayer room and we've seen lives changed. 24:14 I think of 14-year old girl that came into the prayer room, 24:17 and she didn't think she could pray for more than 24:20 five minutes a day. 24:21 And she ends up staying for an hour. 24:23 And then the next day, she comes back, 24:24 and she stays for eight hours. 24:26 Oh, wow! 24:27 And then she tells the team at the end of the camp, 24:29 "I'm going to go home and I'm going to start 24:31 two prayer groups in my church." 24:33 I'm serious, a 14-year old. 24:35 That's powerful. Yes. 24:36 And she told us, she says, "You know, I've been attending 24:38 different conferences and events, 24:41 but I've always something is missing. 24:43 And now I discover what it is. It's the power of prayer." 24:46 And so that's been beautiful. 24:48 We've seen people overcome addictions, 24:50 many, many testimonies. 24:52 I remember this young man came to us that he was smoking, 24:55 he'd been smoking since he was 13. 24:57 He was 21, couldn't quit. 24:59 And he went into the prayer room to pray 25:01 that God would really give him victory over this. 25:04 And after four hours in the prayer room, 25:06 he came out. 25:08 And he told our team, you know, 25:10 the urge to smoke has gone away. 25:13 And he was there the rest of the camp. 25:15 No desire to smoke. 25:16 I mean, that's a supernatural miracle 25:18 that only God can do. 25:20 And we've seen the same happen with a young man 25:22 who had a lust problem. 25:24 You know, he was struggling. And he wanted a pure heart. 25:26 And he didn't tell any of us. 25:27 We didn't know what his struggle was. 25:29 He was just praying on his own, 25:30 "Lord, please, you know, I'm married. 25:32 I need you to take charge of my eyes and my heart." 25:35 He also had a vision problem. 25:37 He couldn't see without glasses, 25:39 I might add as well. 25:41 Anyway, after several days of praying in the prayer room, 25:43 he came out. 25:45 And he just knew that God had given him a clean heart. 25:47 You know, God's able to do above what we ask or think. 25:51 And that day as he was walking to Bible class, 25:54 he realized that he wasn't wearing his glasses, 25:56 and he could see perfectly. 25:58 So yes, not only... 26:00 So the Lord gave him deliverance 26:02 from this addiction and his lustful thoughts. 26:05 But at the same time, 26:07 he restored his physical vision. 26:08 That's right. 26:10 If you think about it, he had an eye problem, 26:11 and God fixed it. Amen. 26:14 That's right. That's great. 26:15 That's great, Gisella. Wow! That's incredible. 26:17 And so we've just seen these changing lives on so many, 26:24 so many respects, family relationships being healed. 26:27 It's just been amazing. 26:29 There is power when God's people pray, 26:31 and when they get into the Word, 26:33 that combination is just powerful. 26:36 So you mentioned, there's been over 30 camps. 26:39 So of these different camps, and you're Camp director now, 26:42 but would each camp have a different theme 26:44 or do you focus on a different... 26:47 I'm not sure how does that work 26:48 or is every camp is the same or... 26:50 Pretty much the same. 26:52 We just want to encourage 26:53 and inspire people to study their Bibles, 26:55 be excited about it, be equipped 26:57 to know how to study. 26:59 So when they go home, they have some tools to use, 27:01 and also just to be excited about the United Prayer, 27:04 and take it back to their churches 27:06 so it continues, 27:07 and other people are blessed by it. 27:08 The thing that would be different is, 27:11 we do have a variety of speakers. 27:13 Okay, so it's not the same speakers every camp. 27:16 So we ask them when they come in to share 27:19 how they study the Bible to make it personal. 27:23 So each one, I mean, the theme is the same. 27:25 It's always how do we get into God's Word, 27:28 how do we get on our knees. 27:29 It's revival. 27:31 But each camp is different with its own personality 27:33 because we have different speakers and so. 27:35 That makes sense. Gisella? 27:37 I think there is one thing that is consistent 27:39 throughout the camp. 27:40 Pastor Myers focuses on the sanctuary, 27:43 and the sanctuary message. 27:44 And that also was very helpful for me. 27:47 I grew up Adventist, 27:49 but I didn't really understand our role really in the world. 27:53 You know, we're Christians, and we keep the Sabbath, 27:56 but, you know, I didn't really understand 27:57 our unique identity until really getting 28:00 a good study of the sanctuary 28:02 and seeing how essential it is to our message. 28:04 And that's the other thing the reason why I try to bring 28:07 as many Adventist friends as possible to ARME 28:10 is because it really gives us a sense of identity. 28:14 Yes. 28:16 That's important to know who we are, 28:18 why we exist, what's our purpose. 28:21 Exactly. Yeah, that's great. 28:22 And we've seen so many people share testimonies with us 28:27 after being at ARME just, you know, 28:31 how they've maybe been in the church all their life, 28:34 but they have never felt so strongly about 28:39 why this is their church, and also feeling like 28:43 they're part of the family, and a body. 28:46 I mean, we come together as strangers, 28:49 not necessarily knowing each other. 28:51 And when people leave, 28:53 how can you not be like a family 28:55 after being in the Word together, 28:57 being on your knees together, crying together. 28:59 You know, something I didn't share 29:00 that has really become an integral part of ARME 29:02 is our all night prayer. 29:05 We started that, 29:07 I don't know if it was the second or the third. 29:09 It's the third, I think. 29:10 The third camp we started an all night prayer, 29:14 specifically just interceding over the people 29:17 and their needs, 29:18 and that is such a bonding experience 29:21 as we pray for one another, lift up each other, 29:23 and we will have the majority of the attendees 200 to 300, 29:28 or more, you know, depending 29:30 that will be part of the all night prayer. 29:32 And it's powerful. 29:33 Many people tell us afterwards 29:35 that it's the highlight of their time at ARME. 29:38 We've experienced physical healings 29:40 in the all night prayer where an individual asks for, 29:44 you know, they have a burden on their heart 29:46 for even someone else, 29:48 and they'll sit in a chair for someone else, 29:49 and people will lay hands, and will pray over them. 29:52 And we'll experience just beautiful miracles 29:54 from that as well. It's just neat. 29:56 Also I wanted to share, Melody, about, 29:58 you know, people having revival as their Adventist, 30:00 as they see who they are as Adventist, 30:03 but you can bring non-Adventist friends as well. 30:05 When they see the powerful message of the sanctuary, 30:09 they're convicted as well, and their appeals 30:11 throughout the weekend, you know, asking people, 30:13 calling people to baptism and reap commitments. 30:15 And we have many non-Adventists 30:17 who have given their lives to the Lord, 30:19 and who want to join the Adventist Church 30:21 from coming to our camps. 30:22 Amen, so it's enrich, equipping, empowering us 30:26 to share the gospel more effectively, 30:28 and to be revived ourselves, 30:29 but it's also outreach at the same time. 30:31 Amen. Amen. 30:33 Anybody can come to ARME. Anybody can come. 30:34 That's exciting. Yeah. 30:35 Now if you have had 30, and these many years, 30:37 you must do more than one a year, 30:38 and you must do them in more locations 30:40 than just California, is that accurate? 30:42 So tell me some of the places where you hold ARME camps. 30:44 Yeah, we've done... 30:45 Especially, in the very beginning, 30:47 we were doing four or five events a year. 30:50 We kind of slowed down a little bit 30:51 just because of our staff capabilities and all. 30:54 But we've been West Coast, we've been East Coast, 30:58 we've been Texas, Oregon, Washington... 31:03 Florida. Nice. Florida. 31:05 What are some, we've been to Germany. 31:07 We've been in England. Oh, wow! 31:08 Hawaii. We've been in Hawaii. 31:10 Now Hawaii sounds like a good... 31:13 Doesn't that sound good? 31:14 They need revival in Hawaii too, you know. 31:16 That's right, absolutely. 31:17 I remember when we are first asked to go to Hawaii, 31:19 we are kind of like, "Oh, well, is that really 31:21 the most spiritual place to go put on a camp?" 31:24 You know, we all want to go to Hawaii, 31:25 but they're just like, "No, we need revival here too." 31:28 And we saw God work in such beautiful ways there. 31:31 So it's been all over, even in Bali, Indonesia. 31:36 Wow. Amen. Yeah. 31:38 We get letters that pour in all the time. 31:40 People travel to come to our camps. 31:42 And they are just become convicted 31:43 that they want to take this to their home country. 31:45 And we've had that happen with Dominican Republic, 31:48 with Panama, the Philippines. 31:50 We've had, you know, just people that come, 31:52 and just say, "Please, come to my country. 31:54 They need it." 31:56 And so that's, ARME goes where the Lord calls, 31:58 and so we just pray that He leads us to 32:00 where the next camp will be. 32:02 Amen. That's incredible. 32:03 Now I know you all have been sharing testimonies 32:05 the whole time we've been talking. 32:06 But there were some specific ones, 32:08 I know, Cindy, something about a couple renewing their vows. 32:10 That's right. 32:12 We had this wonderful couple 32:13 that was just in a difficult place in their marriage. 32:17 And truly, the wife was on the verge 32:20 of leaving her husband. 32:21 And he came to the camp, 32:23 and became completely converted, 32:27 and excited for the Lord. 32:28 And he even had shared... 32:31 In his heart, he was praying, 32:33 "Lord, I'm just going to give everything 32:35 that I have in my wallet 32:36 to this ministry to further the cause of ARME." 32:39 And he forgotten that he had gone to the ATM, 32:42 and had like $300 in his wallet, 32:44 and said, "Oh, okay, well, yeah, 32:46 so I'll give everything in my wallet." 32:48 But that was just kind of a funny side light. 32:50 But you know, he went home, 32:52 and his wife truly saw the change, 32:54 and saw that he was studying his Bible every morning 32:57 that his character had softened. 32:59 And their marriage really just became alive again. 33:02 And they actually renewed their vows at the next camp. 33:06 And it was just such a thrill for the team to see, 33:09 you know, the fruit of the revival 33:12 that took place at ARME 33:14 happened in the life of this couple. 33:15 Amen. 33:17 God wants to bring healing, 33:18 you know, not only to broken hearts, 33:19 but broken marriages, broken homes, 33:22 and work and mend and restore. 33:24 Melody, what about someone who was involved 33:26 in an alternative lifestyle? 33:28 Yeah, we had this individual that came to one of our camps. 33:30 It actually happened to be the Hawaii camp 33:32 that we just discussed. 33:34 And they weren't really sure about coming to this camp. 33:37 But since it was in Hawaii, 33:39 their parents convicted them to come. 33:41 And when this individual arrived at camp, to be honest, 33:44 we didn't know if this was a man or a woman. 33:49 But it turned out to be a woman 33:51 that had been living as a lesbian 33:52 for 15 or so years. 33:56 And when people come to ARME, 33:59 our goal is really to get them to focus on Jesus. 34:02 We are not necessarily preaching a list. 34:05 We're not. 34:06 We're not preaching a list of standards, 34:08 or do's, or don'ts, or anything. 34:09 We're just helping people get into the Word, 34:10 and get on their knees, and just trying 34:12 to reconnect them with God. 34:13 Amen. 34:15 And because of that, this young woman 34:17 felt the love of our team 34:19 as we just surrounded her, and embraced her, 34:21 and prayed with her. 34:22 And God began convicting her 34:24 not because anybody said anything 34:26 that she needed to walk away from this lifestyle. 34:28 She came back to the next event that we had, 34:31 and it was at the next camp that we did that 34:33 she actually made the decision to leave that lifestyle behind. 34:36 And God is continuing to work in her life. 34:39 Today, she has moved on. 34:41 She's gone to Amazing Facts College of Evangelism. 34:46 And is continuing to work for the Lord. 34:49 And it was really beautiful seeing her transition back 34:52 to being the woman that God is calling her to be. 34:55 And she's still a sweet part of our ministry. 34:57 And we see her often at camps that come, 35:00 you know, she comes back and joins us. 35:02 Amen. So we praise God. 35:04 Yes. That's incredible. 35:06 So the Word of God preached there, 35:08 the love of the people there, the prayer time 35:11 not only brings healing as you mentioned, Cindy, 35:13 it brings deliverance. 35:15 That's right. It brings freedom. 35:16 It brings victory. 35:18 And we just want to appeal to you, at home, 35:20 at the end of this program, we will put up 35:22 the contact information for ARME. 35:24 But if you feel like you're in a rut spiritually, 35:27 if you want revival and reformation, 35:30 even if you feel like, "I'm on fire for God," 35:32 God always calls us to a deeper, 35:35 a stronger or more intimate relationship 35:38 with the Lord Jesus. 35:39 We want to encourage you to go to an ARME Camp to be equipped, 35:42 to be trained, to be healed, to be delivered. 35:46 Now, Gisella, you said that 35:47 you bring friends with you to the ARME Camp. 35:50 So what has been the experience of some of your friends 35:53 who have gone to ARME Camp? 35:54 I just think of one friend in particular. 35:56 We went to school together. 35:57 I've known her for years, and years, and years. 35:59 You know, she grew up in an Adventist home, 36:00 but she didn't really know much about Adventism. 36:03 She married someone who wasn't Adventist. 36:05 And she just was in a really bad place in her life. 36:08 But she had the opportunity. She had the vacation time. 36:10 So I brought her to ARME. 36:12 And it was just so powerful to see 36:15 just through the Bible study in the prayer time, 36:17 she actually made a decision 36:19 to give her heart to Christ, and for baptism. 36:22 She had never been baptized. 36:24 And just the opportunity to like had to see 36:27 how God is working in her life since. 36:30 It's just really powerful. Amen. 36:32 That's wonderful. 36:34 What about some people who come depressed, 36:36 and something in the prayer room 36:37 works to change that? 36:39 We had a young man come to us 36:41 just very, very deep in depression, 36:45 and just sad story that he came with. 36:48 But he ended up spending most of his time actually 36:51 during that first camp that he came to. 36:52 He came to one of our events that we had in Colorado. 36:56 And he just spent the time in the prayer room 36:57 just seeking God, and just pleading 36:59 that God would take him deeper. 37:02 And he was part of the all night prayer. 37:03 And we just surrounded him with our prayers. 37:07 And at the end of that camp, he went home a different man. 37:11 He went home a changed man. 37:13 And it was just amazing to see God work, 37:15 and how God is continued to work. 37:16 He went back to his church, he got involved 37:18 in leading prayer ministry in his church. 37:22 He started using the talents 37:23 that God has given him for mission and ministry. 37:27 And I mean, I have heard off and on 37:29 from him pretty regularly about, he'll call me 37:32 and like, "Melody, guess what, God just has done in my life." 37:35 And he'll share some amazing testimony, 37:38 an answered prayer. 37:39 And God is continuing to work in his life. 37:41 Cindy can share a little bit more updates 37:43 on what's happening with him. 37:45 Yes. 37:46 So this friend of ours, he's from Panama. 37:49 And he just was so revived, 37:52 and wants to take this back to his country of Panama. 37:56 And he is currently in Panama 37:58 right now talking to his conference officials, 38:00 and trying to coordinate with us, 38:02 and looking at the logistics of having ARME 38:05 come to his country. 38:06 So we're communicating. 38:07 And we're praying that God will open the doors. 38:09 And we'll be able to go to Panama. 38:12 Amen. 38:13 Oh, that's exciting to see what God's doing. 38:16 Now I know we want to get to some future plans. 38:18 And we'll do that in just a moment. 38:19 But from the promo video we watched at the beginning, 38:22 who are some of the speakers who would come into ARME, 38:24 you've mentioned Pastor Ivor Myers, 38:26 and I know he's involved. 38:27 And I saw Pastor Batchelor on there, 38:30 Pastor Bradshaw, Taj Pacleb, who else comes in? 38:34 Yes. 38:36 I know I'm just putting you on the spot. 38:37 Yeah. We've had so many. 38:38 Let's see. 38:40 We just had Dean Cullinane, we've had Pastor West Peppers, 38:47 we've had Pastor Paul Ratsara that was on the video as well. 38:51 Who are some of the others, Mel? 38:53 Pastor Martin Kim was very instrumental 38:56 in the beginning 38:58 in the Prayer Ministry Department. 39:00 Jeffrey Rosario, 39:02 Pastor Don Mackintosh, Elder Lemon. 39:06 I'm trying to remember his first name. 39:08 Dwayne. Dwayne. 39:10 Dwayne Lemon. He's a great speaker. 39:11 He's been here, and worked for "Dare to Dream." 39:13 Adam Ramdin. Yeah. 39:15 He's been one of our trainers, the speaker. 39:17 We had Pastor Stephen Bohr, several times. 39:20 Yeah. 39:21 I mean, it's a big group. That's a long list. 39:23 It's probably 30 or more speakers 39:25 that we've had over the years. 39:27 Yeah. So, yeah. 39:29 Amen. That's wonderful. 39:30 So future plans, 39:32 I know one of them is ARME Academy. 39:34 Talk to me about ARME Academy. That's right. 39:36 You know, we have our camps all throughout the year. 39:39 And sometimes, they happen to be during the school year. 39:43 And we have parents saying, 39:44 "Oh, you know, I would love to take my child out of school 39:47 and bring them to the camp, but that doesn't necessarily, 39:50 it's not easy to do always." 39:51 So we've decided that we would like 39:53 to take the ARME Bible Camp experience into our schools. 39:58 And so we're going to start at the academy level. 40:00 We already have one invitation to take ARME Bible Camp. 40:04 And it wouldn't be a long weekend, 40:05 the Wednesday through Sunday. 40:07 But we would take two school days to do a full, 40:10 to try to do as full 40:11 of an ARME Bible Camp experience 40:12 as we can in the school. 40:14 So the whole school can experience that revival. 40:17 And we're so excited 40:19 for this opportunity to do this. 40:22 And we just really feel like it could bring 40:24 about tremendous change in many of our schools, 40:27 in the lives of these young people. 40:28 We're told that an ARME of youth 40:30 will finish the work and... 40:32 Rightly trained, yes. That's right. 40:33 And rightly trained, we'll finish the work. 40:37 And so we are just hoping to be a little part 40:40 of that puzzle to equip these youth to finish the work. 40:46 Amen. 40:47 So are you looking at going into any school 40:50 that invites you? 40:51 Are you looking for schools to call up ARME and say... 40:53 That's right. That's right. Okay. 40:54 We're here to say, "If you would like 40:56 ARME Bible Camp to come to your school, 40:58 there will be contact information at the end. 41:00 Please contact us." 41:02 And yes, we come by invitation only. 41:05 So if they contact us, we are happy. 41:08 We are happy to go. 41:09 You're looking at high school-aged mainly, 41:11 or would you do ARME for... 41:13 I know it says Academy, 41:15 so I'm assuming it's high school, but... 41:16 We're looking at high school age at this point, 41:17 we have invitations 41:19 to go to Southern Adventist University. 41:22 But we're definitely looking at academy age right now. 41:25 Amen. 41:27 Do you think about the young people, 41:28 and the influence of the world, 41:30 the influence of their peers at that point? 41:33 I mean, I was a young person a few years ago. 41:36 But I remember the influence at that point. 41:38 And today, the culture in today's world is so much, 41:43 the temptations are so much stronger even today 41:46 than they were when I was a kid. 41:48 So praise the Lord for this. 41:49 I think we have a graphic for your upcoming ARME Academy. 41:53 That's right. There we go. 41:56 "Passionate about bringing true revival," 41:58 I love that, "To our youth." 42:01 Amen. Praise the Lord. 42:03 And then ARME Latino, talk to us about ARME Latino. 42:04 That's right. 42:06 Well, we mentioned Andy who's in Panama 42:07 working feverishly to have ARME Bible Camp come to Panama. 42:11 But we have been to Dominican Republic, 42:13 and that was also an attendee who had attended our camp 42:16 in California down in Pine Springs Ranch. 42:19 And then she actually helped coordinate our camp 42:21 in Colorado. 42:23 And she was from Dominican Republic, 42:25 our dear friend Catty. 42:26 And so she thought, "Oh, I would love 42:28 to bring this camp to Dominican Republic." 42:31 And about two years ago, that did happen. 42:33 And we had Pastor Stephen Bohr. 42:35 And here's a group picture. 42:37 Oh, that's a great group of people! 42:38 It was a wonderful group picture. 42:40 And they have invited us back to come down in a few years. 42:45 And we're just so excited. 42:47 The people there were just so on fire. 42:49 The interesting thing about Dominican Republic 42:52 that was neat, was the conference president 42:54 required all of his pastors to attend. 42:57 And during the testimony night, on Saturday night, 42:59 we typically have a testimony night 43:01 where people share what their experience 43:03 and ARME has been. 43:04 And it's so neat to hear how God has blessed 43:07 during the weekend. 43:08 These pastors got up, and said, "We did not want to be here. 43:12 This was a required event. 43:13 We wanted... 43:15 It took time away from our family. 43:16 And we didn't want to be here." 43:17 But several of them shared how their ministry 43:20 was forever changed by attending camp 43:23 that they had never prayed this way, 43:25 that they had the Holy Spirit 43:27 really filled them at this camp. 43:28 And it was just pivotal and life-changing for them. 43:31 So that was really exciting. 43:33 And so they have been asking and asking for us to come back. 43:37 So we're praying that that will happen soon. 43:38 Amen. 43:40 So what does that do for you, Cindy, you're involved in ARME, 43:42 knowing that God is using this ministry to impact 43:46 and touch the lives of people all over the world? 43:49 It's truly humbling to be a part of this. 43:52 It really is. 43:53 I just, I'm so thankful to be a part of it, 43:57 but just humbled. 43:58 And I am just so in awe of God, and how He can take lives, 44:01 and change them. 44:03 And yes, just humbled. Amen. 44:08 We've talked about in the past how we feel like, you know, 44:10 God allows us to be part of this ministry 44:13 for our own salvation. 44:14 Amen. Yes. 44:16 It's just been such life transforming 44:18 to all of our team. 44:20 Yeah. 44:22 And it's really exciting because our staff, 44:24 majority of our staff are actually people 44:27 like Gisella and others whose lives have been changed 44:31 by the ministry, and have said, 44:33 "I want to be part of this as well." 44:36 But it's just, it is, it's been real life transforming 44:39 for all of us. 44:41 What about for you, Gisella? 44:42 It's just an honor to be able to work with a ministry 44:45 that is that you can see that God is using. 44:48 Yeah. Isn't that exciting? 44:50 And then, you know, it impacted your life 44:52 in an incredible way, 44:54 and then you're choosing to give back. 44:55 Exactly. 44:56 And, you know, I think God never changes us 44:58 to just then go in the corner and hide. 45:01 You know, I mean, we're transformed 45:03 to share that with other people, 45:05 and to give back in this fashion. 45:08 That's wonderful. So you're planning a reunion. 45:10 And I know this program 45:12 will air several different times. 45:13 But you're doing... 45:15 And what is this ARME reunion all about? 45:18 Well, we're just asking our former camp members, 45:22 camp attendees, former staff, to be checking the website 45:26 because we are planning a big reunion for summer time. 45:29 And just be checking our website 45:31 because all are invited. 45:32 We would love to be... 45:33 Like melody had said, we do feel like a family 45:36 at the end of the camp. 45:38 And we haven't seen some of our family members 45:40 for a while now. 45:41 You know, maybe they went to the first camp, 45:43 and haven't been for a while, and have been busy 45:44 in ministry since then, and we just want to reunite, 45:47 and have a family reunion with all of our old family. 45:50 But also we would love to have 45:52 a new family members join as well. 45:54 So we're just encouraging people to check our website, 45:57 and just stay informed as to when our reunion will come 46:00 'cause all are welcome to come, we're so excited for that. 46:03 Amen. That's very exciting. 46:05 You know, to think about that. 46:07 And how many people have been through ARME? 46:09 Do you keep statistics of that? 46:11 I have kept statistics but they're kind of... 46:14 Yeah, the approximate number I would say 15,000 to 20,000 46:19 probably at this time that we've had come through. 46:22 Each event varies. 46:24 You know, the first event, we had 350 people, 46:26 the next event 400, and then we were kind of running 46:29 in the 500 to 600, 700 range. 46:31 Our largest event was 1200 something like that 46:35 when we were at PUC. 46:37 So it kind of goes up down. 46:39 But the average number has been probably in the 500, 46:42 500 range per people per event. 46:45 That's a lot of people that you had impacted. 46:46 Yes. That's right. 46:48 Yeah. 46:49 And it's really exciting seeing these people 46:51 now working in different places around the world. 46:53 I've met missionaries in other countries 46:55 who have told me, 46:57 "Do you remember I was at such-and-such a camp? 46:58 That set me on the course." 46:59 I work with someone at the GC, they told me, 47:01 "Do you remember such-and-such a camp? 47:03 That's what changed, reconverted me." 47:05 And now she's working at the General Conference. 47:08 So it's just exciting seeing the long-term effects 47:10 of what God is doing. 47:12 Amen. Amen. That's exciting. 47:13 So if you were to talk, Cindy, to a family 47:17 'cause you're a mom, busy mom with your family, 47:20 and maybe they'd say, "I'm kind of busy, 47:22 and I don't know if ARME would have 47:24 that much impact on me." 47:25 What would you tell them? 47:27 I would tell them, "Please come, 47:29 and experience it for yourself, and just trust the Lord 47:33 that He has started to work in all of us, 47:36 and He'll be faithful to complete it. 47:38 And I do believe that God is using ARME to do this. 47:41 We've seen how He's blessed in the past, 47:43 and we know that He has blessings in store 47:46 for the future as well." 47:47 Amen. 47:48 What about you, Gisella, you're a professional woman, 47:50 trauma surgeon. 47:52 And what if someone saying, "Well, you know, I'm busy, 47:54 I have my job, I have whatever, 47:57 and I know it's only a few days, 47:58 but I'm not sure I really need to get involved." 48:00 What would you say? I think we all need a revival. 48:03 Even people that are... 48:05 You know, they have been in the church for a while. 48:07 You can kind of get tired, and it's always nice 48:09 to have a time for rejuvenation and to be revived. 48:13 Amen. Amen. 48:15 And what about you, Melody? 48:17 Matthew 6:33 says, "Seek ye first 48:19 the kingdom of God and His righteousness, 48:21 and all these things shall be added unto you." 48:23 And I would just encourage people 48:25 to make time for the eternal priorities. 48:28 And that's what we see ARME doing. 48:30 It's shaping us for eternity. 48:32 This is not just another vacation 48:33 or a fun thing to do. 48:35 How are we spending our lives for eternity? 48:38 And this is preparation for that. 48:40 Amen. Amen. 48:42 Now this is putting you on the spot. 48:43 We have just a moment, 48:44 and then we will go to their address. 48:46 But I want to see if we can squeeze 48:47 in one more testimony. 48:48 I don't know who has a testimony. 48:50 Is there one more testimony that you all can think of? 48:53 Someone whose life was impacted or changed, 48:55 we talked about healing. 48:56 We talked about physical and emotional marital healing. 49:00 We talked about freedom from addiction, 49:01 anything come to mind? 49:03 I have one at our last camp. 49:05 It was just a few months ago. 49:08 When we have our prayer time for people who are ill, 49:11 we had a lady, actually, step in a seat, 49:14 and everyone placed hands around her, 49:16 and prayed for her healing. 49:17 And there was a gentleman 49:19 who had a real severe back pain, 49:20 and this was during the all night prayer. 49:22 And he did not think he was going to make it 49:25 through the night at all. 49:26 I mean, his back was just killing him. 49:27 But he got up to join and press together 49:29 during this prayer time. 49:31 And he says, he shared later, that after the prayer time 49:34 was done, his back pain was gone, 49:37 and the prayer wasn't even for him, 49:39 he was just part of the pressing together, 49:41 and praying for another person, 49:43 and he was healed in the process. 49:45 So that was amazing. Amen. 49:47 Praise the Lord for that. 49:48 And we have a video testimony 49:50 as well I think you all brought. 49:52 So let's take a look at this video testimony. 49:57 My name is Greg Arecia, I'm from Naples, Florida. 50:00 I came all the way out here to Washington 50:03 to come to the ARME Bible Camp 50:05 because my last ARME Bible Camp was such a revival, 50:10 and it was such a great experience 50:13 that I had to fly all the way out here. 50:16 You know, Ellen White, she talks about how prayer 50:20 and Bible study is what creates true revival. 50:25 And if you are on the line about it, 50:28 you need to come here. 50:30 Everybody needs to come here 50:31 because you will experience true revival, 50:34 and you will be blessed. 50:36 Amen. 50:38 If you are on the line about it, 50:39 you need to come here. 50:41 What a wonderful testimony. 50:42 And I think we have time 50:43 for one more quick video testimony. 50:47 Hi, my name is Vince, 50:49 and I live in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. 50:51 I came to ARME this weekend. 50:53 I've been to ARME before, and it's always a blessing. 50:56 But this time around, 50:58 there's a deeper sense of conviction 51:00 for how God is calling me to ministry 51:02 in a personal context, and also the equipping. 51:06 This time around, it's just been very clear 51:09 as to how God is again, 51:10 equipping and calling His people 51:12 to minister wherever they go that we'll be clear 51:15 as it were signs pointing to the city of refuge. 51:19 And so I've been blessed. 51:21 I recommend ARME to everyone. 51:23 It's a powerful experience, and try it out, 51:25 you will not regret it. 51:27 Amen. 51:28 What we want to do right now is put up 51:30 the contact information for ARME Bible Camp. 51:32 If you want to get involved, if you want to support, 51:35 if you want to experience revival and reformation 51:38 in your own life, and heart, 51:40 here is how you can get in touch with them. 51:45 ARME Ministries is dedicated to arming God's people 51:48 with tools for Biblical revival through Bible study, prayer, 51:53 personal witnessing, and encouraging 51:55 healthy Christ-centered habits and lifestyles. 51:58 To find out more about the ARME Bible Camp, 52:01 the Heir Force or teen programs, 52:03 visit their website, ARMEMinistries.com. 52:07 That's A-R-M-E-Ministries.com. 52:11 You may also call them at (503) 482-9439, 52:17 or write to ARME Ministries, 71 Bluebird Lane, 52:20 Camino Island, Washington 98282. |
