I want to spend my life
00:00:01.36\00:00:07.60
Mending broken people
00:00:07.64\00:00:12.41
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.44\00:00:18.55
Removing pain
00:00:18.58\00:00:23.69
Lord, let my words
00:00:23.72\00:00:29.86
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:29.89\00:00:34.53
I want to spend my life
00:00:34.56\00:00:40.20
Mending broken people
00:00:40.24\00:00:45.61
I want to spend my life
00:00:45.64\00:00:51.15
Mending broken people.
00:00:51.18\00:00:54.48
Hello, and
welcome to 3ABN Today.
00:01:09.46\00:01:12.10
We're so glad
that you've tuned in
00:01:12.13\00:01:14.14
and just want to
take this opportunity
00:01:14.17\00:01:16.30
on behalf of all
of us who are at 3ABN
00:01:16.34\00:01:19.07
to thank you for your prayers
and your financial support
00:01:19.11\00:01:22.88
of this ministry.
00:01:22.91\00:01:24.25
As we always say
00:01:24.28\00:01:25.61
and don't think we're
just saying this to be tried,
00:01:25.65\00:01:28.82
we couldn't do this without you
00:01:28.85\00:01:30.59
and we're so thankful
00:01:30.62\00:01:32.39
that we particularly want
to thank all of our blessings
00:01:32.42\00:01:35.89
on the Go Team members.
00:01:35.92\00:01:38.09
I wanted to share
a scripture with you
00:01:38.13\00:01:40.50
and before I
introduce our topic,
00:01:40.53\00:01:42.36
and you will see why
00:01:42.40\00:01:44.87
as soon as we start
interviewing our special guest.
00:01:44.90\00:01:50.71
It's easy to see
when we look around
00:01:50.74\00:01:53.21
that end times are here
00:01:53.24\00:01:55.91
and it's not just the
church that's saying this,
00:01:55.94\00:01:58.18
it's not just
based on Bible prophecy.
00:01:58.21\00:02:01.12
I mean that's
what I base mine on,
00:02:01.15\00:02:03.42
but we see the scientists,
00:02:03.45\00:02:06.29
and the people, the scholars,
00:02:06.32\00:02:08.29
and the
academicians of this world
00:02:08.32\00:02:10.39
saying earth
cannot be sustained.
00:02:10.43\00:02:13.46
I mean, we're
out of time, folks.
00:02:13.50\00:02:16.36
But when we look at
the signs of the time
00:02:16.40\00:02:18.83
and we think of
everything that Jesus said
00:02:18.87\00:02:21.50
about wars, and rumors of wars,
and earthquakes, and famines,
00:02:21.54\00:02:25.54
and droughts,
00:02:25.57\00:02:27.04
the thing that is the
most impressive sign to me
00:02:27.08\00:02:31.11
is Matthew 24:14.
00:02:31.15\00:02:33.62
And He says,
00:02:33.65\00:02:34.98
"This gospel of the kingdom
00:02:35.02\00:02:37.69
will be preached in the world
as a witness to all nations,
00:02:37.72\00:02:42.36
and then the end will come."
00:02:42.39\00:02:46.59
It is this generation
00:02:46.63\00:02:50.50
that now has the
ability to get the gospel
00:02:50.53\00:02:54.10
to all of the nations,
00:02:54.14\00:02:56.40
including
nations that are close,
00:02:56.44\00:02:58.37
like the Islamic
nations and China.
00:02:58.41\00:03:01.84
This is something
that is so important for us
00:03:01.88\00:03:05.88
as people to
recognize that the end is near
00:03:05.91\00:03:10.39
but we want to do our part
00:03:10.42\00:03:13.62
in helping usher
in the second coming
00:03:13.66\00:03:18.33
of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ.
00:03:18.36\00:03:20.40
And our special guest
today is doing just that.
00:03:20.43\00:03:24.10
Let me introduce
you to Jeremy Everhart,
00:03:24.13\00:03:27.80
who is the principal
00:03:27.84\00:03:29.44
of the Taiwan
Adventist International School.
00:03:29.47\00:03:34.04
Jeremy, thank you for
coming all the way from Taiwan.
00:03:34.08\00:03:37.35
I appreciate it. My pleasure.
00:03:37.38\00:03:39.28
Now our weather is a
little different in Taiwan,
00:03:39.31\00:03:41.62
is it not?
00:03:41.65\00:03:42.98
That's for sure.
00:03:43.02\00:03:44.35
My blood is starting to thin.
00:03:44.39\00:03:45.72
I grew up in New York
but the more I've been there,
00:03:45.75\00:03:47.59
I come back for
the winter times.
00:03:47.62\00:03:49.26
It's just chills me.
00:03:49.29\00:03:51.06
It does indeed.
00:03:51.09\00:03:52.43
Well, we are so excited to
hear what your ministry is doing
00:03:52.46\00:03:58.00
and how you are
reaching beyond the church
00:03:58.03\00:04:01.90
into unorganized territories.
00:04:01.94\00:04:04.77
And we'll describe all of that
00:04:04.81\00:04:06.37
and explain it in just a moment.
00:04:06.41\00:04:08.61
But before we get
going, I know you like music,
00:04:08.64\00:04:12.55
we all love music
00:04:12.58\00:04:14.38
and we all love
the musical guest
00:04:14.42\00:04:17.12
is going to
sing for us right now
00:04:17.15\00:04:18.95
and that is Dr.
Yvonne Lewis Shelton.
00:04:18.99\00:04:22.49
And Yvonne is a
precious woman of God,
00:04:22.52\00:04:26.49
a dear sister and a dear friend.
00:04:26.53\00:04:29.20
And she is going
to be singing for us
00:04:29.23\00:04:33.57
"In Christ Alone".
00:04:33.60\00:04:35.20
In Christ alone my hope is found
00:04:51.69\00:04:57.46
He is my light,
my strength, my song
00:04:57.49\00:05:02.36
This
Cornerstone, this solid ground
00:05:02.40\00:05:07.87
Firm through the
fiercest drought and storm
00:05:07.90\00:05:12.71
What heights of
love, what depths of peace
00:05:12.74\00:05:18.01
When fears are
stilled, when strivings cease
00:05:18.05\00:05:23.39
My Comforter, my All in All
00:05:23.42\00:05:28.79
Here in the love
of Christ I stand
00:05:28.82\00:05:34.26
In Christ alone,
who took on flesh
00:05:41.30\00:05:47.01
Fullness of God in helpless babe
00:05:47.04\00:05:51.85
This gift of
love and righteousness
00:05:51.88\00:05:57.39
Scorned by the
ones He came to save
00:05:57.42\00:06:02.52
'Til on that cross as Jesus died
00:06:02.56\00:06:07.60
The wrath of God was satisfied
00:06:07.63\00:06:12.57
For every sin on Him was laid
00:06:12.60\00:06:18.21
Here in the
death of Christ I live
00:06:18.24\00:06:23.95
There in the ground His body lay
00:06:43.87\00:06:49.74
Light of the
world by darkness slain
00:06:49.77\00:06:54.44
Then bursting
forth in glorious Day
00:06:54.48\00:06:59.88
Up from the grave He rose again
00:06:59.91\00:07:04.89
And as He stands in victory
00:07:04.92\00:07:09.92
Sin's curse has
lost its grip on me
00:07:09.96\00:07:15.33
For I am His and He is mine
00:07:15.36\00:07:20.74
Bought with the
precious blood of Christ
00:07:20.77\00:07:27.21
No guilt in
life, no fear in death
00:07:33.62\00:07:39.29
This is the
power of Christ in me
00:07:39.32\00:07:44.23
From life's first
cry to final breath
00:07:44.26\00:07:49.66
Jesus commands my destiny
00:07:49.70\00:07:54.44
No power of
hell, no scheme of man
00:07:54.47\00:07:59.87
Can ever pluck me
00:07:59.91\00:08:02.94
from His hand
00:08:02.98\00:08:07.68
Till He returns to take me home
00:08:07.72\00:08:13.05
Here in the power
of Christ I'll stand
00:08:13.09\00:08:17.99
No power of
hell, no scheme of man
00:08:18.03\00:08:23.23
Can ever pluck me from His hand
00:08:23.26\00:08:29.74
Here in the power of Christ
00:08:33.64\00:08:39.21
I'll stand
00:08:42.15\00:08:46.86
Absolutely, what
a beautiful message
00:08:56.56\00:08:58.87
in Christ Alone.
00:08:58.90\00:09:00.57
And we just want to
thank Yvonne for that.
00:09:00.60\00:09:02.80
Well, if you tuned in
just a few moments late,
00:09:02.84\00:09:05.54
our special guest
is Jeremy Everhart,
00:09:05.57\00:09:08.28
and he is the principal
00:09:08.31\00:09:10.51
of the Taiwan
Adventist International School.
00:09:10.55\00:09:15.28
Before we talk about what
God is doing in your area,
00:09:15.32\00:09:21.42
I just want to hear
00:09:21.46\00:09:23.36
and would like you to
share how you ended up there.
00:09:23.39\00:09:26.90
I know you grew up in an
Adventist Christian home.
00:09:26.93\00:09:29.33
Yes.
00:09:29.36\00:09:30.70
But when did your
relationship with Christ
00:09:30.73\00:09:33.40
really become personal?
00:09:33.44\00:09:35.37
When you're
growing up in a church,
00:09:35.40\00:09:36.94
you see your family
members, you see your parents,
00:09:36.97\00:09:40.34
doing the church things
00:09:40.38\00:09:41.88
and you want to
be a part of that.
00:09:41.91\00:09:43.81
But I didn't really have
00:09:43.85\00:09:45.71
maybe the relationship
that I thought I should have.
00:09:45.75\00:09:49.65
When I was in the
academy, Houston Academy,
00:09:49.68\00:09:51.85
we were on a class
trip to Dominican Republic
00:09:51.89\00:09:54.59
as a mission trip and we
helped build a church there,
00:09:54.62\00:09:56.83
and it was at that
point that I could really feel
00:09:56.86\00:09:59.13
that there's
something more to life
00:09:59.16\00:10:01.03
than the things
that I saw every day.
00:10:01.06\00:10:02.56
Amen.
00:10:02.60\00:10:03.93
And the world vision there
kind of really settled into me.
00:10:03.97\00:10:07.40
Praise God. So how
did you end up in Taiwan?
00:10:07.44\00:10:11.47
Graduated from
Anderson University,
00:10:11.51\00:10:13.61
taught for two
years in New York State,
00:10:13.64\00:10:15.98
but I just felt like I
needed something more than that
00:10:16.01\00:10:18.88
and I got a
call to go to Russia.
00:10:18.91\00:10:21.35
I was in Russia for a year,
00:10:21.38\00:10:23.39
and then I got a
call to go to Taiwan
00:10:23.42\00:10:25.22
and I thought,
oh, I can continue on,
00:10:25.25\00:10:27.12
just keep going
from country to country
00:10:27.16\00:10:28.79
and then that was back 2004,
I've been in Taiwan ever since.
00:10:28.82\00:10:32.09
Wonderful, and I
know that there in Taiwan
00:10:32.13\00:10:35.43
you met your
beautiful wife. Absolutely.
00:10:35.46\00:10:37.20
And you have a
five year old son.
00:10:37.23\00:10:39.27
Get this, his
five year old son Evan
00:10:39.30\00:10:42.24
speaks both English and Mandarin
00:10:42.27\00:10:45.51
and when mama prays in Mandarin,
00:10:45.54\00:10:48.04
he is translating line by
line for daddy in English.
00:10:48.08\00:10:52.08
And I think that's amazing.
00:10:52.11\00:10:54.48
He is just a real...
00:10:54.52\00:10:57.02
He's obviously a
very bright young man.
00:10:57.05\00:10:58.89
He is. Yeah, and your joy.
00:10:58.92\00:11:01.16
So tell us about the
Taiwan Adventist School,
00:11:01.19\00:11:06.70
you were on the campus
of the university there?
00:11:06.73\00:11:10.63
Yes, we have
Taiwan Adventist College,
00:11:10.67\00:11:12.47
it's been there for many years.
00:11:12.50\00:11:15.00
And they tried to be just,
00:11:15.04\00:11:16.37
you know, similar to
when we think of union
00:11:16.40\00:11:18.37
or other
Seventh-day Adventist Colleges.
00:11:18.41\00:11:21.44
But the government
had a lot of restrictions
00:11:21.48\00:11:23.55
of what you could do
00:11:23.58\00:11:24.91
and so they eventually
gave up accreditation.
00:11:24.95\00:11:27.08
Okay.
00:11:27.12\00:11:28.45
And then all
they could really do
00:11:28.48\00:11:31.22
was do a theological seminary.
00:11:31.25\00:11:34.06
So now the college is
a theological seminary
00:11:34.09\00:11:37.89
and it's in the middle of Taiwan
00:11:37.93\00:11:39.49
and they were
having difficulties
00:11:39.53\00:11:42.53
due to the constraints
that the government provided.
00:11:42.56\00:11:46.13
So then they built our school,
00:11:46.17\00:11:48.80
Taiwan Adventist
International School,
00:11:48.84\00:11:50.71
because they needed to
have funds to help do the work
00:11:50.74\00:11:53.88
that the college
is already doing.
00:11:53.91\00:11:55.34
All right, so what is
the population of the school
00:11:55.38\00:12:00.15
of which you are the principal,
00:12:00.18\00:12:01.88
The Taiwan International School?
00:12:01.92\00:12:03.75
Yes.
00:12:03.79\00:12:05.12
We are now hovering
mostly around 75 to 80 students.
00:12:05.15\00:12:08.86
And this is the upper grades?
00:12:08.89\00:12:11.49
We do grades 7 to 12.
00:12:11.53\00:12:13.03
Seven to twelve.
00:12:13.06\00:12:14.40
Now, what is the
population of your school?
00:12:14.43\00:12:19.33
Can you give us a break
down on the demographics?
00:12:19.37\00:12:22.00
So our school caters mostly
to the more affluent families.
00:12:22.04\00:12:27.54
And so they come in
from all over Taiwan,
00:12:27.58\00:12:30.81
we're a boarding school.
00:12:30.85\00:12:32.31
Students stay on our campus
00:12:32.35\00:12:34.42
and we provide
weekend programming
00:12:34.45\00:12:36.15
and spiritual
programming for them.
00:12:36.18\00:12:38.22
And majority of
them are not Christian,
00:12:38.25\00:12:40.86
they come to our school
00:12:40.89\00:12:42.29
to go to universities in
the United States and Canada
00:12:42.32\00:12:45.56
or other places
around the world,
00:12:45.59\00:12:47.50
and they come to our school
00:12:47.53\00:12:48.90
because we are associated
00:12:48.93\00:12:50.27
with the Griggs
International Academy.
00:12:50.30\00:12:52.47
So when they finish our program,
00:12:52.50\00:12:54.10
then they have that
diploma through Griggs.
00:12:54.14\00:12:56.97
And then most of them then are,
00:12:57.01\00:12:58.51
obviously their
second language is English.
00:12:58.54\00:13:00.78
That's right, absolutely.
00:13:00.81\00:13:02.14
Okay. And tell us about...
00:13:02.18\00:13:07.28
Now, how many, what percentage
did you say were Christian?
00:13:07.32\00:13:10.29
So our whole group,
00:13:10.32\00:13:11.79
we have roughly 12 to
15% that are Christian.
00:13:11.82\00:13:15.76
And about 6 to 8% who are SDA.
00:13:15.79\00:13:18.59
And so Seventh-day
Adventist Christians.
00:13:18.63\00:13:19.96
Seventh-day
Adventist, yes, thank you.
00:13:20.00\00:13:21.33
Uh-huh, okay.
00:13:21.36\00:13:22.70
And that gives you
then a great opportunity
00:13:22.73\00:13:28.70
for evangelism
right within your school?
00:13:28.74\00:13:31.64
Absolutely.
00:13:31.67\00:13:33.01
Ours teachers are missionaries.
00:13:33.04\00:13:34.74
When they come to work here,
00:13:34.78\00:13:36.34
they come because they
want to work with our students
00:13:36.38\00:13:38.75
and they have a
heart to work with them
00:13:38.78\00:13:41.48
in which our students
don't necessarily come
00:13:41.52\00:13:44.15
because we are Christian.
00:13:44.19\00:13:46.35
They are just looking at
what we can provide for them
00:13:46.39\00:13:48.62
for their future.
00:13:48.66\00:13:50.19
And so it's been a
challenge and also a blessing
00:13:50.23\00:13:53.96
to work through God
00:13:54.00\00:13:55.33
in which to find
ways to show who God is
00:13:55.36\00:13:57.80
and what love He has for them.
00:13:57.83\00:13:59.73
Amen.
00:13:59.77\00:14:01.10
Now you have your
regular curriculum
00:14:01.14\00:14:04.74
throughout the school week
00:14:04.77\00:14:06.11
but then you said
you had weekend programs.
00:14:06.14\00:14:08.41
Tell us about that.
00:14:08.44\00:14:09.78
So our students are
addicted to their phones,
00:14:09.81\00:14:12.31
it's just a simple fact.
00:14:12.35\00:14:13.82
I think that's
universal, isn't it?
00:14:13.85\00:14:15.58
And, you know, we see how
much harm it does for them.
00:14:15.62\00:14:19.69
Yeah.
00:14:19.72\00:14:21.06
And we want to
provide holistic programming
00:14:21.09\00:14:24.03
that doesn't just
meet their academic needs,
00:14:24.06\00:14:27.33
but their
spiritual and their health
00:14:27.36\00:14:29.63
and so we have
thing for Friday night.
00:14:29.66\00:14:32.00
Our vespers program,
00:14:32.03\00:14:33.70
we do Sabbath morning program,
00:14:33.74\00:14:35.50
we do the church
service for them.
00:14:35.54\00:14:37.77
And we have
sundown vespers for them
00:14:37.81\00:14:39.67
just every single weekend.
00:14:39.71\00:14:41.51
Okay, now you
have affluent students
00:14:41.54\00:14:46.28
coming from a
non-Christian background,
00:14:46.31\00:14:48.72
so how do you break them
00:14:48.75\00:14:51.82
of that selfish
00:14:51.85\00:14:54.52
and
materialistic outlook on life?
00:14:54.56\00:14:58.56
Yeah, first we...
00:14:58.59\00:15:00.46
We're just kind of doing
00:15:00.50\00:15:01.83
the traditional
international school thing.
00:15:01.86\00:15:03.67
Bringing them in,
teaching them the best we can
00:15:03.70\00:15:06.37
and hoping that they can
gain something from that.
00:15:06.40\00:15:09.87
But we made a fundamental change
00:15:09.90\00:15:11.97
in the last couple of years.
00:15:12.01\00:15:14.31
We did small
groups as our vespers
00:15:14.34\00:15:18.51
in our Sabbath school program.
00:15:18.55\00:15:20.22
Instead of just having a
group presentation for them,
00:15:20.25\00:15:22.75
we bring them into our
homes, we cook food for them,
00:15:22.78\00:15:26.25
we eat together
and we pray together
00:15:26.29\00:15:29.12
and we study God's word
00:15:29.16\00:15:30.83
for both our vespers
00:15:30.86\00:15:32.26
and for our
Sabbath morning program.
00:15:32.29\00:15:34.53
It's one of the
major changes we've done.
00:15:34.56\00:15:36.36
The other thing that we've done
00:15:36.40\00:15:37.73
that we think
it's really important
00:15:37.77\00:15:39.10
is we instituted mission
trip and community service trips
00:15:39.13\00:15:42.30
for our students.
00:15:42.34\00:15:43.67
As they're
serving their community
00:15:43.71\00:15:45.31
and other countries,
00:15:45.34\00:15:47.01
they see the
need throughout there
00:15:47.04\00:15:48.44
and the changes of
themselves take place
00:15:48.48\00:15:50.85
due to simply the
service they provide.
00:15:50.88\00:15:52.25
Amen.
00:15:52.28\00:15:53.62
I think you
brought some pictures,
00:15:53.65\00:15:54.98
well, I know you did. Yes.
00:15:55.02\00:15:56.35
Let's look at some
pictures and we'll see
00:15:56.38\00:15:57.72
some of the
community service projects
00:15:57.75\00:15:59.09
that you are doing.
00:15:59.12\00:16:00.49
Okay, so there's first one.
00:16:00.52\00:16:03.76
So our students
go on Thanksgiving
00:16:03.79\00:16:07.56
and do their trip.
00:16:07.60\00:16:09.36
Take the vacation
time, they pay for it
00:16:09.40\00:16:12.23
and they went here
00:16:12.27\00:16:13.60
and they have been
doing vacation Bible schools
00:16:13.64\00:16:16.30
on the east coast of Taiwan.
00:16:16.34\00:16:17.84
Wonderful, wonderful.
00:16:17.87\00:16:19.87
And then the next picture?
00:16:19.91\00:16:24.28
This house has an old
gentleman that was living here.
00:16:24.31\00:16:27.08
You might see him
there on the right side.
00:16:27.12\00:16:29.38
He was, he had this big house
00:16:29.42\00:16:31.05
but the condition of
the house was so bad,
00:16:31.09\00:16:33.05
he was living
literally in a 8/8 sector.
00:16:33.09\00:16:35.82
Okay.
00:16:35.86\00:16:37.19
And so through that,
our students went there
00:16:37.23\00:16:39.79
and did a lot of renovations,
and scraping, and painting,
00:16:39.83\00:16:43.16
and they made his
house livable again.
00:16:43.20\00:16:45.33
Praise God,
00:16:45.37\00:16:46.70
so you're teaching them
in a very practical way.
00:16:46.74\00:16:49.44
Absolutely. Now
what are they doing here?
00:16:49.47\00:16:51.77
This is a program
00:16:51.81\00:16:53.14
we've been doing since year one.
00:16:53.17\00:16:54.94
And this is at a
nursing home at a town nearby
00:16:54.98\00:16:58.35
and these retirees
and other individuals
00:16:58.38\00:17:02.48
are kind of away from society.
00:17:02.52\00:17:04.42
They are stuck
here in this building,
00:17:04.45\00:17:06.72
nothing to do but watch TV.
00:17:06.76\00:17:08.69
And so we go there every year
00:17:08.72\00:17:10.39
and we write programming
where our students intermix
00:17:10.43\00:17:13.19
and they do activities
together with the patients.
00:17:13.23\00:17:16.26
Wonderful.
00:17:16.30\00:17:18.80
We do vacation Bible schools
00:17:18.83\00:17:20.34
in all of our mission
and community service trips,
00:17:20.37\00:17:22.54
and so our kids are
not just teaching English
00:17:22.57\00:17:25.14
but they are teaching
the stories of the Bible
00:17:25.17\00:17:28.04
to these students
00:17:28.08\00:17:29.41
at the elementary
schools that we go.
00:17:29.44\00:17:31.11
So certainly this must
be reaching some hearts.
00:17:31.15\00:17:33.48
Yes, that's right.
00:17:33.52\00:17:35.28
Okay, and then I think
we had a few more pictures.
00:17:35.32\00:17:37.22
Yes.
00:17:37.25\00:17:38.59
This is a picture
of our small group
00:17:41.36\00:17:43.46
and so each teacher will have
00:17:43.49\00:17:46.16
roughly between 6 to 12 students
00:17:46.19\00:17:48.36
that they have every weekend
00:17:48.40\00:17:50.47
both for the vespers
and the Sabbath school,
00:17:50.50\00:17:53.34
and they pray, and they
study the Word together,
00:17:53.37\00:17:55.90
and they develop
that relationship
00:17:55.94\00:17:57.27
to show how God's love
works in their own lives,
00:17:57.31\00:18:00.64
our students can work from that.
00:18:00.68\00:18:02.91
Amen. Now how many...
00:18:02.94\00:18:05.85
Oh, this is your
week of prayer, isn't it?
00:18:05.88\00:18:08.15
We had two week
of prayers every year
00:18:08.18\00:18:10.05
and we invite special guests,
00:18:10.09\00:18:12.32
and when we pray
and we sing together,
00:18:12.35\00:18:15.02
and they share God's word
00:18:15.06\00:18:16.83
and a lot of students'
lives have been changed.
00:18:16.86\00:18:20.70
Yes.
00:18:20.73\00:18:22.20
I remember, it was the
week of prayer last year
00:18:22.23\00:18:24.27
and we made a call,
00:18:24.30\00:18:25.67
"Who would be interested
in having Bible studies."
00:18:25.70\00:18:27.67
Yes.
00:18:27.70\00:18:29.04
I think roughly 30
students stood up saying,
00:18:29.07\00:18:31.64
"We just want to
study and see who God is."
00:18:31.67\00:18:34.04
Praise God. Now, before
we go to the next picture,
00:18:34.08\00:18:38.31
what are the
religions of Taiwan?
00:18:38.35\00:18:43.05
What is it, is
it mostly Buddhists?
00:18:43.08\00:18:45.75
Yes, primarily Buddhists,
00:18:45.79\00:18:47.46
and we also have Taoists,
00:18:47.49\00:18:48.96
and we have local religions,
00:18:48.99\00:18:51.33
they focus on
heroes of the past.
00:18:51.36\00:18:54.33
And then there's
a mixtures thereof.
00:18:54.36\00:18:56.16
All right, so for some of them
00:18:56.20\00:18:57.53
this is the first time
they've ever heard the gospel.
00:18:57.57\00:19:00.07
Yeah, we had a chaplain
who came in this last year
00:19:00.10\00:19:03.00
and he did
survey of our students,
00:19:03.04\00:19:04.74
"Where did you
hear about Jesus?"
00:19:04.77\00:19:06.68
And a large percent of them put
00:19:06.71\00:19:08.31
well, when they came to
Taiwan Adventist School,
00:19:08.34\00:19:11.08
that's when they
first learned about Jesus.
00:19:11.11\00:19:13.35
So how do their parents feel
00:19:13.38\00:19:15.88
as their lives are being touched
00:19:15.92\00:19:17.99
by the good news of the gospel
00:19:18.02\00:19:20.02
and they are
wanting to join the church.
00:19:20.06\00:19:21.96
How do their
parents feel about this?
00:19:21.99\00:19:23.76
Some are supportive,
00:19:23.79\00:19:25.33
because they see
the positive influence
00:19:25.36\00:19:26.86
on their lives,
00:19:26.90\00:19:28.23
they have told us,
"I've seen my child change.
00:19:28.26\00:19:30.87
He struggled in school,
00:19:30.90\00:19:32.23
he had fights
with his classmates,
00:19:32.27\00:19:33.77
he couldn't
work with the teacher
00:19:33.80\00:19:35.20
and he's come here
00:19:35.24\00:19:36.57
and I've seen this
change and I'm happy for that."
00:19:36.60\00:19:38.91
Others have said, "Sorry.
00:19:38.94\00:19:40.88
I know, my son is
asking to be baptized
00:19:40.91\00:19:42.78
but let's not premise."
00:19:42.81\00:19:44.61
So but you know
the good thing is that
00:19:44.65\00:19:47.05
once that seed is planted...
00:19:47.08\00:19:48.65
Right.
00:19:48.68\00:19:50.29
Mama and papa can't
keep them from ever, forever.
00:19:50.32\00:19:52.35
For eternity.
00:19:52.39\00:19:53.72
Yeah, 'cause it if your
heart's been given to the Lord,
00:19:53.76\00:19:58.49
you can be
converted before your baptism
00:19:58.53\00:20:00.63
that you're
hoping. That's right.
00:20:00.66\00:20:02.00
So how many do you
usually graduate each year,
00:20:02.03\00:20:05.93
what is your graduating class?
00:20:05.97\00:20:07.64
It varies,
00:20:07.67\00:20:09.00
this year, we'll have roughly
12 students who are graduating.
00:20:09.04\00:20:11.91
Okay. And then...
00:20:11.94\00:20:13.51
And this is the class
that graduated this last year.
00:20:13.54\00:20:16.08
All right.
00:20:16.11\00:20:17.45
And we're so excited
to see them come back
00:20:17.48\00:20:19.35
and visit us
00:20:19.38\00:20:20.72
and we asked them,
"What do you see a difference,
00:20:20.75\00:20:22.65
now that you are
out in the world,
00:20:22.68\00:20:24.02
what do you see the difference
between the teachers you've had
00:20:24.05\00:20:26.09
in the universities,
00:20:26.12\00:20:27.62
and the teachers
you've had here at TAS?"
00:20:27.66\00:20:30.46
And they said, "You know what,
00:20:30.49\00:20:31.83
those teachers out in the
world just don't care for us,
00:20:31.86\00:20:33.70
they don't mentor us,
00:20:33.73\00:20:35.06
they don't really
worry about how we're doing,"
00:20:35.10\00:20:37.80
as they've
experienced at our school.
00:20:37.83\00:20:39.90
So that really took
heart for a lot of our teachers
00:20:39.93\00:20:42.07
and encouraged the
work that we're doing.
00:20:42.10\00:20:44.17
Amen, and it's
such an exciting work
00:20:44.21\00:20:46.47
because it's not just academic
00:20:46.51\00:20:48.21
but you are reaching
them on a spiritual level.
00:20:48.24\00:20:51.61
And then teaching
them to have a world view
00:20:51.65\00:20:56.05
that is not just so
boxed in a selfish way
00:20:56.08\00:21:00.06
that you're just
focusing on self.
00:21:00.09\00:21:02.69
What I'd like to do,
it's such a beautiful campus.
00:21:02.72\00:21:05.29
We're gonna show
just a couple of clips
00:21:05.33\00:21:07.96
from some videos you brought
00:21:08.00\00:21:09.73
and then we'll
continue on to the big project.
00:21:09.76\00:21:12.33
Okay.
00:21:12.37\00:21:13.70
But here's some of the video.
00:21:13.74\00:21:17.01
Now what's going on here?
00:21:17.04\00:21:18.57
So this is our Christmas program
00:21:18.61\00:21:21.01
and it's not your
traditional Christmas program.
00:21:21.04\00:21:22.98
Obviously.
00:21:23.01\00:21:24.51
We present Jesus' total life,
from birth to resurrection.
00:21:24.55\00:21:28.45
Okay.
00:21:28.48\00:21:29.82
Each grade level will
develop their own skit,
00:21:29.85\00:21:33.92
their own dialogue,
based solely on scripture.
00:21:33.96\00:21:37.23
Praise God.
00:21:37.26\00:21:38.59
And then we invite the
community, the parents.
00:21:38.63\00:21:41.76
The purpose is not to
have a Christmas celebration,
00:21:41.80\00:21:44.60
the purpose is
telling the community
00:21:44.63\00:21:46.30
and the non-Christians
00:21:46.33\00:21:47.80
why we celebrate Jesus' birth
00:21:47.84\00:21:50.57
because they
don't have that concept.
00:21:50.61\00:21:52.67
And the thing about it is
00:21:52.71\00:21:56.14
our students are
mostly not Christian,
00:21:56.18\00:21:58.68
their English
may be not so strong
00:21:58.71\00:22:01.58
so they have to
repeat and repeat
00:22:01.62\00:22:03.79
these Bible inspired
passages again and again
00:22:03.82\00:22:06.99
so they can speak them
out at the presentation.
00:22:07.02\00:22:09.42
Give glory to God.
00:22:09.46\00:22:10.79
What does that do on
their spiritual wellbeing
00:22:10.83\00:22:13.60
when they are being, you
know, exposed to God's Word
00:22:13.63\00:22:16.50
over and over and over again
00:22:16.53\00:22:17.93
and the most important
story that can be presented.
00:22:17.97\00:22:20.54
So do you get good
attendance at these events?
00:22:20.57\00:22:23.17
We always worry about that,
we send out the invitations
00:22:23.20\00:22:25.64
and we say, "Who's gonna come?"
00:22:25.67\00:22:28.11
And this last time I
stood up, I give them a welcome,
00:22:28.14\00:22:30.88
it was okay.
00:22:30.91\00:22:32.48
I sat down at the end of it
I want to thank them for coming
00:22:32.51\00:22:36.32
and the whole
auditorium was filled
00:22:36.35\00:22:38.55
and we're floored by
the attendance this year.
00:22:38.59\00:22:40.36
Praise God.
00:22:40.39\00:22:41.72
So you're saying that
it's not just Adventists
00:22:41.76\00:22:43.46
that are rushing
00:22:43.49\00:22:44.83
in the last
moment of these events.
00:22:44.86\00:22:47.13
Well, this is a very special way
00:22:47.16\00:22:50.50
of getting it into
the children's hearts,
00:22:50.53\00:22:52.23
since they are the
one's writing the script
00:22:52.27\00:22:53.84
from the Bible,
00:22:53.87\00:22:55.20
and as you said,
00:22:55.24\00:22:57.47
confessing this
word over and over again.
00:22:57.51\00:22:59.64
That kind of gets
it into their memory
00:22:59.67\00:23:02.21
so that's an exciting way.
00:23:02.24\00:23:04.18
Have you had,
00:23:04.21\00:23:05.55
what is the
reaction of the parents
00:23:05.58\00:23:08.52
and the local people to this?
00:23:08.55\00:23:12.29
We find interesting is that
00:23:12.32\00:23:13.82
the parents will
come and be supportive
00:23:13.86\00:23:15.69
because their
child is presenting.
00:23:15.72\00:23:18.16
And because it's in English,
00:23:18.19\00:23:19.79
then they feel proud that
their child can go up there
00:23:19.83\00:23:22.20
and speak that to everybody.
00:23:22.23\00:23:24.23
They might not
totally understand the impact
00:23:24.27\00:23:26.67
what they're
speaking on their lives
00:23:26.70\00:23:28.50
or how that might
affect them as well.
00:23:28.54\00:23:30.74
Yes, yeah, okay.
00:23:30.77\00:23:32.11
And now you brought
another clip, did you not?
00:23:32.14\00:23:34.11
Yes, and this is connecting
00:23:34.14\00:23:36.04
with our
community service projects.
00:23:36.08\00:23:37.98
All right. Then
we'll look at that now.
00:23:38.01\00:23:42.58
This is at the nursing home?
00:23:42.62\00:23:43.95
This is at the
nursing home, yeah.
00:23:43.99\00:23:45.72
Ah, it's precious.
00:23:45.75\00:23:47.32
I bet the nursing home residents
00:23:47.36\00:23:50.59
are excited to see
the young kids come.
00:23:50.63\00:23:53.53
Every year it's a
struggle for our kids at first.
00:23:53.56\00:23:56.26
They don't know how to react,
they don't know how to help,
00:23:56.30\00:23:58.67
they don't know how
to serve their needs,
00:23:58.70\00:24:00.24
they're frightened of it.
00:24:00.27\00:24:02.04
But then once it get going,
00:24:02.07\00:24:03.81
then suddenly I've seen
00:24:03.84\00:24:05.31
students you might
not think care too much,
00:24:05.34\00:24:09.64
they really want to help
00:24:09.68\00:24:11.21
and make the
life of these patients
00:24:11.25\00:24:13.38
more comfortable.
00:24:13.42\00:24:14.75
Glory to God.
00:24:14.78\00:24:16.12
All right, so
essentially at the...
00:24:16.15\00:24:19.35
or the Taiwan
Adventist International School,
00:24:19.39\00:24:24.09
the concept it
was developed so that,
00:24:24.13\00:24:27.60
you obviously, if you are
reaching out to the affluent,
00:24:27.63\00:24:30.27
you are getting a
certain fee that is paid
00:24:30.30\00:24:35.40
by these affluent people
00:24:35.44\00:24:36.77
and that is what is
helping to support the college.
00:24:36.81\00:24:39.84
Tell us a little more about
the Taiwan Adventist College?
00:24:39.87\00:24:43.28
It's more of a seminary now,
tell us about their program?
00:24:43.31\00:24:48.52
Yeah, they used to be more
00:24:48.55\00:24:50.52
based on the
Taiwanese population,
00:24:50.55\00:24:53.12
but then in more recent
years they've been opened up
00:24:53.15\00:24:55.92
and they are
accepting students from China
00:24:55.96\00:24:58.63
from our
Seventh-day Adventist churches
00:24:58.66\00:25:00.36
that are
speckled throughout that.
00:25:00.40\00:25:02.36
So the work that they are doing
is not just working in Taiwan
00:25:02.40\00:25:05.83
but it's also over
in East Asian countries
00:25:05.87\00:25:09.17
that where Chinese
is the main language.
00:25:09.20\00:25:11.54
Okay, so we are going to...
00:25:11.57\00:25:14.28
We're restricted
00:25:14.31\00:25:16.04
as to how often we can
mention that nations names,
00:25:16.08\00:25:18.88
so we will refer to it
as unorganized territories,
00:25:18.91\00:25:23.85
and explain that terminology,
unorganized territories?
00:25:23.89\00:25:28.19
So back 60 years ago,
00:25:28.22\00:25:30.26
some major political
changes took place in China,
00:25:30.29\00:25:33.96
and at that point
00:25:34.00\00:25:35.66
the church can no
longer be involved in the work
00:25:35.70\00:25:38.33
that's been done there.
00:25:38.37\00:25:40.14
So there are
still churches there
00:25:40.17\00:25:43.51
but they have no organization.
00:25:43.54\00:25:45.07
Okay.
00:25:45.11\00:25:46.44
So we call that then
the unorganized territories.
00:25:46.47\00:25:48.84
So these churches are
00:25:48.88\00:25:52.11
essentially
teaching the doctrines
00:25:52.15\00:25:54.62
of the
Seventh-day Adventist church
00:25:54.65\00:25:56.65
to the best of their
abilities. Yes, right.
00:25:56.69\00:25:58.52
But, and we hear
that it's really growing,
00:25:58.55\00:26:02.99
I mean they're not
under a conference,
00:26:03.02\00:26:04.53
they're not under the
umbrella of our church
00:26:04.56\00:26:07.73
because the
churches aren't illegal
00:26:07.76\00:26:10.43
but the organization
00:26:10.47\00:26:11.80
of any major
denominational church is.
00:26:11.83\00:26:15.30
Yes.
00:26:15.34\00:26:16.67
So we hear that they are growing
00:26:16.71\00:26:18.14
but they have a
challenge, don't they,
00:26:18.17\00:26:20.01
because there's no
one to train their pastors
00:26:20.04\00:26:22.91
and lay pastors.
00:26:22.94\00:26:24.28
Yeah, they have
roughly 5,000 ministers.
00:26:24.31\00:26:27.48
And they have 5,000 volunteers,
00:26:27.52\00:26:29.72
now they're
laymen who are working
00:26:29.75\00:26:31.09
for these churches.
00:26:31.12\00:26:32.45
Praise the Lord.
00:26:32.49\00:26:33.82
But 90% of them
00:26:33.86\00:26:35.19
have not received
any formal training
00:26:35.22\00:26:37.23
regarding our church
beliefs, our fundamentals,
00:26:37.26\00:26:40.46
and so they're just
doing their absolutely best
00:26:40.50\00:26:43.53
but they don't have
the knowledge or the wisdom
00:26:43.57\00:26:45.30
in which to do that.
00:26:45.33\00:26:46.67
So then the
Taiwan Adventist College,
00:26:46.70\00:26:51.17
are you seeing people come in
00:26:51.21\00:26:53.24
from the
unorganized territories,
00:26:53.27\00:26:55.94
the pastors and
the lay ministers,
00:26:55.98\00:26:57.55
are they coming
in to be trained?
00:26:57.58\00:26:59.61
We have now roughly
60% of the population
00:26:59.65\00:27:02.42
of the college... Yes.
00:27:02.45\00:27:04.55
Are not from Taiwan. Okay.
00:27:04.59\00:27:07.09
And so they are coming in
00:27:07.12\00:27:08.46
and they are taking
the theological courses
00:27:08.49\00:27:10.13
to be trained
00:27:10.16\00:27:11.49
to only go back to the
unorganized territories.
00:27:11.53\00:27:13.80
Wonderful, but these are
people who can't afford to pay,
00:27:13.83\00:27:16.67
there it go, this is
why you have your school
00:27:16.70\00:27:20.00
to help support this
work, is that correct?
00:27:20.04\00:27:22.40
Yeah, I believe the
colleges, you know, tuitioning,
00:27:22.44\00:27:24.61
if you think from
perspective of the United States
00:27:24.64\00:27:27.01
is quite low.
00:27:27.04\00:27:28.38
But because they
don't have the funds,
00:27:28.41\00:27:30.51
they pay maybe roughly 20%
of their already low tuition.
00:27:30.55\00:27:34.88
Now it doesn't
bode well for finances.
00:27:34.92\00:27:36.99
Yeah.
00:27:37.02\00:27:38.35
So what...
00:27:38.39\00:27:40.26
Just give us a
little bit more of,
00:27:40.29\00:27:44.03
there's certainly
00:27:44.06\00:27:46.43
an evangelistic outreach program
00:27:46.46\00:27:50.77
that this college...
00:27:50.80\00:27:52.60
Tell us more about the
purpose of the college?
00:27:52.63\00:27:56.14
So in 2017,
00:27:56.17\00:27:58.84
they made some serious decisions
00:27:58.87\00:28:01.41
about what the purpose,
00:28:01.44\00:28:03.11
what they're doing
with their students
00:28:03.14\00:28:04.65
at the college.
00:28:04.68\00:28:06.01
What their mission is. Yes.
00:28:06.05\00:28:07.52
And so they decided that
they are going to be answering
00:28:07.55\00:28:11.05
to the call of
General Conference
00:28:11.09\00:28:12.99
of Seventh-day Adventist church
00:28:13.02\00:28:14.36
of doing total
member involvement.
00:28:14.39\00:28:16.12
Wonderful.
00:28:16.16\00:28:17.49
And so they did a
program for four months
00:28:17.53\00:28:20.96
where each student
was extensively trained
00:28:21.00\00:28:24.50
to be able to preach God's word,
00:28:24.53\00:28:26.57
even students who are
not going to be pastors,
00:28:26.60\00:28:29.00
even health students,
00:28:29.04\00:28:30.84
even the team of students
who are a faculty member,
00:28:30.87\00:28:33.84
those who have not
ever preached before,
00:28:33.88\00:28:36.81
they received
training for four months.
00:28:36.85\00:28:39.41
Praise God.
00:28:39.45\00:28:40.78
And so then after
the four months was over,
00:28:40.82\00:28:42.78
they went out
00:28:42.82\00:28:44.72
not just in Taiwan
00:28:44.75\00:28:46.09
but in the
unorganized territories
00:28:46.12\00:28:47.82
and they put on
00:28:47.86\00:28:49.19
I think roughly 73
different evangelistic series.
00:28:49.22\00:28:52.13
Praise the Lord.
00:28:52.16\00:28:53.50
And they went out in
teams and they're preaching,
00:28:53.53\00:28:57.43
health talks,
00:28:57.47\00:28:59.17
skits, all
these sorts of things,
00:28:59.20\00:29:00.87
so many.
00:29:00.90\00:29:02.24
Amen, and what kind
of results did they have?
00:29:02.27\00:29:04.97
That's the thing that's
just really surprised me,
00:29:05.01\00:29:08.11
I've been in Asia for some time.
00:29:08.14\00:29:10.68
The church in
unorganized territories
00:29:10.71\00:29:13.62
has kind of slowed
down in their growth,
00:29:13.65\00:29:16.95
not as expanse as it used to be
00:29:16.99\00:29:21.49
and they had
about 1,500 baptisms
00:29:21.52\00:29:25.33
just from the
results of these programs.
00:29:25.36\00:29:26.93
Oh, boy, that will
revitalize the church,
00:29:26.96\00:29:29.40
so there are,
00:29:29.43\00:29:30.83
even though it is an
unorganized territories
00:29:30.87\00:29:33.30
where it's illegal to have,
00:29:33.34\00:29:38.54
"Established
Denominational Ties",
00:29:38.57\00:29:43.04
these people,
00:29:43.08\00:29:45.38
when they came in
and were baptized,
00:29:45.41\00:29:48.72
there are churches
00:29:48.75\00:29:50.59
that can disciple them to
00:29:50.62\00:29:53.66
so that is not just
an emotional decision
00:29:53.69\00:29:56.19
but that they're really gonna
be anchored in their decision.
00:29:56.22\00:29:59.29
Yes, we have
several different churches
00:29:59.33\00:30:01.36
that are just kind of scattered
throughout different areas
00:30:01.40\00:30:03.97
and some of them can be,
00:30:04.00\00:30:05.33
you know, very
large in comparison
00:30:05.37\00:30:07.17
that we might
think of the church.
00:30:07.20\00:30:09.17
And so they have
the ministers there,
00:30:09.20\00:30:12.07
they have the laymen who
are volunteering their time
00:30:12.11\00:30:14.54
to meet these needs of
these new baptized members.
00:30:14.58\00:30:18.55
You know, I
remember him for, Jeremy,
00:30:18.58\00:30:20.52
seeing a clip of
one of the churches
00:30:20.55\00:30:24.32
in the unorganized territory
that was growing so rapidly,
00:30:24.35\00:30:27.59
this was a few years back.
00:30:27.62\00:30:29.49
And the interesting thing was
00:30:29.52\00:30:31.59
is that the pastor had
everybody coming to the church
00:30:31.63\00:30:35.83
at 5 o'clock in
the morning to pray.
00:30:35.86\00:30:38.57
And I mean, people were going in
00:30:38.60\00:30:40.44
and praying for an hour.
00:30:40.47\00:30:41.80
So before they made
their commute to work,
00:30:41.84\00:30:45.94
but they were praying
00:30:45.97\00:30:48.14
for the baptism
of the Holy Spirit,
00:30:48.18\00:30:49.94
they were praying
00:30:49.98\00:30:51.31
for the leading
of the Holy Spirit.
00:30:51.35\00:30:53.38
And all that we
would get that vision here
00:30:53.42\00:30:57.29
because that's
why they were growing
00:30:57.32\00:30:59.39
in such leaps and bounds.
00:30:59.42\00:31:01.12
But there it seems
like everything is,
00:31:01.16\00:31:05.89
how can you say this,
00:31:05.93\00:31:07.43
there's a rhythm
to every organization
00:31:07.46\00:31:10.97
and sometimes you go
through rapid spurts of growth
00:31:11.00\00:31:14.97
and then you kind of
have to manage that growth
00:31:15.00\00:31:17.74
and make sure
that people are solid,
00:31:17.77\00:31:21.28
but these students then
00:31:21.31\00:31:24.85
that are
graduating from the college.
00:31:24.88\00:31:27.68
I imagine, if
there's 5,000 ministers
00:31:27.72\00:31:32.45
and 5,000 laymen,
00:31:32.49\00:31:34.16
they can't all
make it to the college.
00:31:34.19\00:31:35.66
So is part of the
mission of the students
00:31:35.69\00:31:40.60
who graduate from the college
with the theological training
00:31:40.63\00:31:44.73
to go back and train others?
00:31:44.77\00:31:46.60
Yeah, so they go back,
00:31:46.63\00:31:49.90
many of them cannot go
back to these our churches
00:31:49.94\00:31:52.21
because they
already have pastors
00:31:52.24\00:31:53.81
who are working there.
00:31:53.84\00:31:55.54
And this is the part
that really touches my heart.
00:31:55.58\00:31:57.98
They are
volunteering their time,
00:31:58.01\00:32:01.32
when they go back to
the unorganized territories,
00:32:01.35\00:32:03.72
they are going to be
called the dark areas.
00:32:03.75\00:32:05.39
Wow.
00:32:05.42\00:32:06.76
The areas they don't
have any sanctioned churches.
00:32:06.79\00:32:09.09
Well.
00:32:09.12\00:32:10.46
And they're gonna be there
witnessing to their friends,
00:32:10.49\00:32:12.89
their family doing
the little house churches.
00:32:12.93\00:32:17.47
That's going to be
what they're going to do.
00:32:17.50\00:32:19.77
Also the college
sends their professors
00:32:19.80\00:32:24.41
to the unorganized
territories, to the churches
00:32:24.44\00:32:27.11
and they provide
theological training
00:32:27.14\00:32:30.68
for the ministers and
other individuals there.
00:32:30.71\00:32:33.78
So they actually have
00:32:33.82\00:32:35.15
a percentage of their enrollment
00:32:35.18\00:32:37.32
are actually in the
unorganized territories
00:32:37.35\00:32:39.72
even through it's through
the Taiwan Adventist College.
00:32:39.75\00:32:42.46
Praise God.
00:32:42.49\00:32:43.99
So how is the...
00:32:44.03\00:32:47.70
In Taiwan it's mandarin,
00:32:47.73\00:32:50.43
what are the languages in China,
00:32:50.47\00:32:52.77
we've got mandarin and...
00:32:52.80\00:32:54.47
And Cantonese and
many other variations.
00:32:54.50\00:32:56.81
All right.
00:32:56.84\00:32:58.97
Are they many
materials available for public,
00:32:59.01\00:33:04.58
I mean published materials
00:33:04.61\00:33:06.28
to talk about the doctrines
of the church or Bible studies,
00:33:06.31\00:33:09.75
do you have plenty of
those or what's that like?
00:33:09.78\00:33:12.52
Yes, we have
publishing house in Taiwan.
00:33:12.55\00:33:15.12
They're doing great work there.
00:33:15.16\00:33:17.16
We have the Hope
Channel in Taiwan,
00:33:17.19\00:33:20.50
they are producing content
00:33:20.53\00:33:21.96
just to be beamed over
its unorganized territories.
00:33:22.00\00:33:24.53
Praise the Lord.
00:33:24.57\00:33:25.90
So they see more and
more of that taking place.
00:33:25.93\00:33:28.00
Oh, wonderful.
00:33:28.04\00:33:29.37
And is it...
00:33:29.40\00:33:32.54
I'm just gonna ask,
00:33:32.57\00:33:33.91
I know that Taiwan
is a very safe place.
00:33:33.94\00:33:36.34
We've had gentleman
that used to work here
00:33:36.38\00:33:39.01
in our pastoral department,
00:33:39.05\00:33:40.88
who went over to
become a missionary teacher,
00:33:40.92\00:33:43.79
actually worked with
you? That's right. Absolutely.
00:33:43.82\00:33:46.09
But I know that's
a very safe territory
00:33:46.12\00:33:51.03
but the unorganized territories
00:33:51.06\00:33:55.36
is Eastern Asia,
00:33:55.40\00:33:56.90
is this against the law
00:33:56.93\00:33:59.23
to proselytize or they
recognize the churches,
00:33:59.27\00:34:03.20
they don't molest the churches
00:34:03.24\00:34:04.81
so what are kind of the
constraints that they have?
00:34:04.84\00:34:08.81
And that's the confusing area,
00:34:08.84\00:34:10.48
it's a very Grey area
is how I would describe it.
00:34:10.51\00:34:14.25
Okay.
00:34:14.28\00:34:16.02
There was an event that
took place several years ago,
00:34:16.05\00:34:18.75
where a company
wanted the property
00:34:18.79\00:34:21.12
of one of our
sanctioned churches
00:34:21.16\00:34:23.32
in the unorganized territories.
00:34:23.36\00:34:25.26
They went to the government
and said, "We need that."
00:34:25.29\00:34:28.16
So when you say a company,
00:34:28.20\00:34:29.53
you're talking a
business operation, okay.
00:34:29.56\00:34:30.90
Yeah, a business company.
00:34:30.93\00:34:32.30
And so the government acted
00:34:32.33\00:34:34.77
and they actually removed
the members from the church,
00:34:34.80\00:34:39.71
destroyed the building
00:34:39.74\00:34:41.24
and they were able to then
00:34:41.28\00:34:43.08
build the
business there or whatever.
00:34:43.11\00:34:44.91
So the situation...
00:34:44.95\00:34:46.28
So this was an owned property
00:34:46.31\00:34:47.65
by the church. Yes.
00:34:47.68\00:34:49.02
Were they
remunerated for this? No.
00:34:49.05\00:34:51.42
No, so it was
just basically seized.
00:34:51.45\00:34:53.56
Yes. Okay.
00:34:53.59\00:34:54.92
And so that's
the kind of situation
00:34:54.96\00:34:56.42
that they go under.
00:34:56.46\00:34:57.79
We actually had
college professors
00:34:57.83\00:35:00.23
at that church, at that time
00:35:00.26\00:35:02.20
and they were
seized, and arrested,
00:35:02.23\00:35:04.17
and brought in,
00:35:04.20\00:35:05.53
they realized then they
weren't from that nation
00:35:05.57\00:35:08.97
and so they were released
and they came back to Taiwan.
00:35:09.00\00:35:11.84
But it can be
quite serious there.
00:35:11.87\00:35:13.94
Okay.
00:35:13.98\00:35:15.31
But if you,
00:35:15.34\00:35:18.08
I mean, you're obviously here
00:35:18.11\00:35:20.32
and I think this is so precious,
00:35:20.35\00:35:21.78
you know, we have
a number of people
00:35:21.82\00:35:23.62
who come to 3ABN,
00:35:23.65\00:35:24.99
and their main motivation is,
00:35:25.02\00:35:28.42
oh, we're looking for funding
00:35:28.46\00:35:30.23
but when I was
speaking with Jeremy earlier,
00:35:30.26\00:35:32.76
he said, "It's not the funding
00:35:32.79\00:35:34.70
that I'm looking
for so much as it is
00:35:34.73\00:35:37.30
that we just want
missionaries to come over
00:35:37.33\00:35:40.84
to work in this area."
00:35:40.87\00:35:42.20
Because as we
read in Matthew 24:14,
00:35:42.24\00:35:45.04
Jesus said that the
gospel's gonna be preached
00:35:45.07\00:35:47.28
into all the world
00:35:47.31\00:35:49.38
and then the end will come.
00:35:49.41\00:35:51.25
This is like a final sign
00:35:51.28\00:35:54.02
and so when you are looking at,
00:35:54.05\00:35:59.99
I mean, the appeal
00:36:00.02\00:36:01.36
that you would
want to make to people,
00:36:01.39\00:36:02.72
if somebody wants to
come over, Taiwan's very safe,
00:36:02.76\00:36:06.26
are you looking for teachers,
what are you looking for?
00:36:06.29\00:36:09.80
We have several
schools in Taiwan
00:36:09.83\00:36:12.63
that look for what I
call foreign teachers,
00:36:12.67\00:36:15.74
not from Taiwan.
00:36:15.77\00:36:17.74
Primarily, we are
looking for teachers
00:36:17.77\00:36:19.67
from United States,
00:36:19.71\00:36:21.41
from Canada,
places of this nature,
00:36:21.44\00:36:24.61
and every year when I talk
to the other administrators
00:36:24.65\00:36:27.75
and saying, "Have you found
your teachers for this year?"
00:36:27.78\00:36:30.39
Almost everyone is, "Oh, no.
00:36:30.42\00:36:33.36
We don't have our
teachers for this year."
00:36:33.39\00:36:35.49
And that's a concern
that we constantly deal with.
00:36:35.52\00:36:37.73
We need teachers
who want to come out
00:36:37.76\00:36:39.96
not just to work at a job
00:36:40.00\00:36:42.43
but to work as a missionary
00:36:42.46\00:36:44.10
to teach our
students God's love,
00:36:44.13\00:36:45.73
but also have a larger impact
not just for our little school
00:36:45.77\00:36:50.54
but also for the support that
we've deprived for the college
00:36:50.57\00:36:53.41
and then work that's been done
in the unorganized territories.
00:36:53.44\00:36:56.88
Amen.
00:36:56.91\00:36:58.25
Now are you
talking about missionaries
00:36:58.28\00:37:00.88
also for the
unorganized territories
00:37:00.92\00:37:03.12
or more just for Taiwan?
00:37:03.15\00:37:05.22
Yeah, we're looking
just for Taiwan mostly.
00:37:05.25\00:37:07.09
Okay, so I just
wanted to clarify that
00:37:07.12\00:37:10.13
because it's not like
you're going to be put
00:37:10.16\00:37:12.56
into a dangerous
political situation
00:37:12.59\00:37:15.66
because Taiwan is quite safe.
00:37:15.70\00:37:17.90
And it's...
00:37:17.93\00:37:20.67
That's why he married
and settled down there.
00:37:20.70\00:37:23.34
I love Taiwan. I know you do.
00:37:23.37\00:37:25.47
All right, so tell us
what are some of the...
00:37:25.51\00:37:29.11
We're gonna give
our viewers in a moment.
00:37:29.14\00:37:31.81
I just believe with all my heart
00:37:31.85\00:37:33.52
that the reason God sent
you in here in the first place
00:37:33.55\00:37:36.02
is 'cause He wants
to get the message out.
00:37:36.05\00:37:38.22
There's somebody out
here is hearing about this
00:37:38.25\00:37:42.99
and thinking,
00:37:43.02\00:37:44.36
"Lord, is that you
talking to my heart?"
00:37:44.39\00:37:46.43
Saying may be that I need to
go and be a missionary teacher,
00:37:46.46\00:37:50.10
and it's a great experience
00:37:50.13\00:37:52.80
if you're young
and you're single,
00:37:52.83\00:37:54.27
it's a great experience
00:37:54.30\00:37:56.20
or as our friend who
was basically retired
00:37:56.24\00:38:00.01
and on social
security, he went over.
00:38:00.04\00:38:03.18
That's right.
00:38:03.21\00:38:04.55
And really
enjoyed his time there,
00:38:04.58\00:38:06.61
I think he's
still there actually.
00:38:06.65\00:38:08.75
But tell us about some
of the upcoming projects,
00:38:08.78\00:38:12.59
what do you see
happening for the school?
00:38:12.62\00:38:15.89
We have a very large project
00:38:15.92\00:38:18.36
and then we
guys, we went to build
00:38:18.39\00:38:20.30
a whole new school
facility and dormitories
00:38:20.33\00:38:23.47
for Taiwan Adventist
International School.
00:38:23.50\00:38:26.13
We have always limited
00:38:26.17\00:38:27.60
on how many students we can take
00:38:27.64\00:38:29.20
simply because we
don't have this dorm housing
00:38:29.24\00:38:31.94
for the
students who want to come
00:38:31.97\00:38:33.94
and that's a very large project
00:38:33.98\00:38:35.31
that we're
looking for the future.
00:38:35.34\00:38:37.65
We're also
looking for small projects
00:38:37.68\00:38:39.28
such as replacing the gym floor
00:38:39.31\00:38:40.75
and all those
little things that go on.
00:38:40.78\00:38:42.98
But I know that God will provide
00:38:43.02\00:38:44.49
and I'm not worried about that
00:38:44.52\00:38:46.25
because as long as
we're doing what God wants,
00:38:46.29\00:38:48.89
He'll provide for our needs.
00:38:48.92\00:38:50.26
Amen.
00:38:50.29\00:38:51.63
But the idea of expanding
00:38:51.66\00:38:54.70
the Taiwan Adventist
International School grades
00:38:54.73\00:38:59.43
7 through 12,
00:38:59.47\00:39:02.67
the idea of expanding that
00:39:02.70\00:39:04.87
is to get in more
tuition paying students,
00:39:04.91\00:39:10.78
who can support
the missionary work
00:39:10.81\00:39:14.25
of the Taiwan Adventist College.
00:39:14.28\00:39:16.58
Yes, every year the president,
00:39:16.62\00:39:18.55
the vice president will
call me and tell us, you know,
00:39:18.59\00:39:20.76
the only reason why
we're able to do this work
00:39:20.79\00:39:24.59
is because this
group of dedicated teachers
00:39:24.63\00:39:28.46
are working
00:39:28.50\00:39:29.83
and through their
work, students come
00:39:29.86\00:39:33.34
and find value and love
00:39:33.37\00:39:35.34
at Taiwan Adventist
International School.
00:39:35.37\00:39:37.44
And those funds
are then passed on
00:39:37.47\00:39:39.94
and used to help
support the college
00:39:39.97\00:39:42.11
and support the
work that's been done.
00:39:42.14\00:39:44.58
You know, to me,
that's a really exciting thing
00:39:44.61\00:39:47.22
because usually when you think
of being a missionary teacher,
00:39:47.25\00:39:51.75
you are excited just to think,
00:39:51.79\00:39:54.62
well, I can impact
the students' life,
00:39:54.66\00:39:56.96
I can impact their family's life
00:39:56.99\00:39:59.19
through that student.
00:39:59.23\00:40:00.80
But here,
00:40:00.83\00:40:02.23
if you go and volunteer
as a missionary teacher,
00:40:02.26\00:40:06.00
you are not just
impacting the organized church,
00:40:06.03\00:40:11.71
but you are
impacting the teaching,
00:40:11.74\00:40:16.31
the training for
those who are then going out
00:40:16.34\00:40:20.12
into the
unorganized territories.
00:40:20.15\00:40:23.08
Praise God.
00:40:23.12\00:40:24.45
And that is...
00:40:24.49\00:40:25.82
You talk about
the ripple effect.
00:40:25.85\00:40:27.52
Yeah, that has changed
my perspective on things,
00:40:27.56\00:40:29.79
you know. Absolutely.
00:40:29.82\00:40:31.33
And before we always
kind of worry about funds
00:40:31.36\00:40:33.50
instead of organization
where are the funds going to.
00:40:33.53\00:40:36.87
When you see this kind
of work that's been done,
00:40:36.90\00:40:39.77
that thing suddenly
becomes so unimportant
00:40:39.80\00:40:43.44
and the thing that
it becomes important
00:40:43.47\00:40:45.11
is where God is leading.
00:40:45.14\00:40:46.47
Yeah.
00:40:46.51\00:40:47.84
Now, you are
having some legal issues.
00:40:47.88\00:40:53.85
You said that
your wife used to work
00:40:53.88\00:40:56.38
for the government.
00:40:56.42\00:40:59.09
Kind of tell us about that?
00:40:59.12\00:41:01.62
So before I met her,
you know, I married up,
00:41:01.66\00:41:05.29
she used to work
in the press core
00:41:05.33\00:41:07.96
for a previous
president in Taiwan.
00:41:08.00\00:41:10.83
And she helped
different politicians
00:41:10.87\00:41:13.13
become elected
to their campaigns
00:41:13.17\00:41:15.80
and after we were married,
00:41:15.84\00:41:18.87
she started working
for our school here.
00:41:18.91\00:41:22.04
Boy, that was a blessing.
00:41:22.08\00:41:23.78
And thing that really changed
00:41:23.81\00:41:25.61
and made a
significant impact on our school
00:41:25.65\00:41:28.15
was before this,
00:41:28.18\00:41:29.52
we were not
recognized by the government.
00:41:29.55\00:41:32.25
And it was a problem
00:41:32.29\00:41:34.79
and we didn't know
how to orient that.
00:41:34.82\00:41:38.36
But then the
government opened up a program
00:41:38.39\00:41:41.00
called Non School
Type Institutions.
00:41:41.03\00:41:45.67
We applied for that,
00:41:45.70\00:41:47.44
we sat before the
board of education
00:41:47.47\00:41:50.14
for Nantou County.
00:41:50.17\00:41:52.27
And they asked me,
00:41:52.31\00:41:53.81
"Why do you want
to have this school?"
00:41:53.84\00:41:58.61
And something rang
in my brain that said,
00:41:58.65\00:42:00.98
"I need to tell them this."
00:42:01.02\00:42:02.82
And I told them,
00:42:02.85\00:42:04.19
"We're not stealing
students from county schools,
00:42:04.22\00:42:07.82
we have many students in
Taiwan who want to go abroad
00:42:07.86\00:42:11.29
for even their high school
00:42:11.33\00:42:13.13
not to mention their university
00:42:13.16\00:42:15.56
but they're going to the States,
00:42:15.60\00:42:18.03
they're going to other places
00:42:18.07\00:42:19.40
and they are not been prepared
00:42:19.43\00:42:20.90
for what they're
going to experience there
00:42:20.94\00:42:22.67
and some of them have got
involved in drugs and worse.
00:42:22.70\00:42:27.58
And we want to
provide a place for them
00:42:27.61\00:42:29.91
to mature and to grow
00:42:29.94\00:42:32.25
so that when they go
and experience those places,
00:42:32.28\00:42:35.25
they're ready and prepared."
00:42:35.28\00:42:37.19
And there were some
members in that board
00:42:37.22\00:42:40.02
whose own children had
gone to the States for college,
00:42:40.06\00:42:45.69
and they said
this is what we want.
00:42:45.73\00:42:48.30
And do you need a campus,
00:42:48.33\00:42:50.70
we could even maybe
find a campus for you.
00:42:50.73\00:42:52.47
Glory to God.
00:42:52.50\00:42:53.84
We had one and they accepted us,
00:42:53.87\00:42:56.67
and we are actually
the only school in Taiwan
00:42:56.71\00:42:59.01
to have the status
00:42:59.04\00:43:00.38
of offering the international
high school diploma
00:43:00.41\00:43:02.81
to Taiwanese students
00:43:02.84\00:43:04.58
in this Non
School Type Organization.
00:43:04.61\00:43:07.58
And my wife is the main person
00:43:07.62\00:43:09.38
who works the governmental lease
00:43:09.42\00:43:10.79
on with them.
00:43:10.82\00:43:12.15
What a miracle. It's
just... isn't it exciting...
00:43:12.19\00:43:14.89
It's amazing.
00:43:14.92\00:43:16.39
You see, you
know, a lot of times
00:43:16.42\00:43:18.43
we don't see God
orchestrating everything
00:43:18.46\00:43:23.16
until it's done.
00:43:23.20\00:43:24.53
And then you see how He's
like this master chess player,
00:43:24.57\00:43:27.34
He's put this piece
here and this piece here
00:43:27.37\00:43:29.80
and all of a sudden He's
made all these different moves
00:43:29.84\00:43:33.88
and as it comes together,
00:43:33.91\00:43:35.51
it's just a miracle
how He's work this out.
00:43:35.54\00:43:39.51
Well, this is all too exciting
00:43:39.55\00:43:41.98
and we're going to
come back in just a moment.
00:43:42.02\00:43:45.55
We'll give you the
opportunity to see their address
00:43:45.59\00:43:49.46
but first we've got another song
00:43:49.49\00:43:51.96
from our dear sister
Yvonne Lewis Shelton,
00:43:51.99\00:43:56.26
and she is going
to be singing for us
00:43:56.30\00:43:59.77
"Wonders never cease".
00:43:59.80\00:44:01.74
I heard He walked on water
00:44:22.86\00:44:27.00
And opened blinded eyes
00:44:27.03\00:44:31.90
The deaf were made to hear again
00:44:31.93\00:44:36.97
And the dead were called to rise
00:44:37.01\00:44:40.94
But when I gave Him all my heart
00:44:40.98\00:44:45.78
A greater thing took place
00:44:45.81\00:44:49.58
The Lord of every miracle
00:44:49.62\00:44:54.16
Redeemed me by His grace
00:44:54.19\00:45:00.53
And wonders never cease
00:45:00.56\00:45:05.13
As long as I believe
00:45:05.17\00:45:09.17
And place my life
00:45:09.20\00:45:11.64
Within the nail scarred hands
00:45:11.67\00:45:15.41
That bled for me
00:45:15.44\00:45:18.31
And when I think
I've seen His best
00:45:18.35\00:45:23.42
I stand amazed to see
00:45:23.45\00:45:29.29
His glory never ends
00:45:29.32\00:45:36.06
And wonders never cease
00:45:36.10\00:45:40.34
He still walks on water
00:45:56.05\00:46:01.19
To calm my trouble seas
00:46:01.22\00:46:03.76
And in the midst of thunder
00:46:03.79\00:46:09.16
I can hear Him speaking peace
00:46:09.20\00:46:12.67
And though some
believe His miracles
00:46:12.70\00:46:18.17
Are just part of yesterday
00:46:18.21\00:46:22.58
I'm living proof
00:46:22.61\00:46:24.88
His changing power
will never pass away
00:46:24.91\00:46:30.59
And wonders never cease
00:46:34.86\00:46:38.83
As long as I believe
00:46:38.86\00:46:42.83
And I place my life
00:46:42.86\00:46:45.67
Within the nail
scarred hands that bled for me
00:46:45.70\00:46:52.27
And when I think
I've seen His best
00:46:52.31\00:46:57.15
I stand amazed to see
00:46:57.18\00:47:03.28
His glory never ends
00:47:03.32\00:47:07.36
Wonders never cease
00:47:12.86\00:47:17.27
As long as I believe
00:47:17.30\00:47:21.64
And I place my life
00:47:21.67\00:47:24.01
Within the nail
scarred hands that bled for me
00:47:24.04\00:47:30.65
And when I think
I've seen His best
00:47:30.68\00:47:35.48
I stand amazed to see
00:47:35.52\00:47:41.62
His glory never end
00:47:41.66\00:47:45.03
And wonders never cease
00:47:48.36\00:47:54.80
His glory never end
00:47:54.84\00:47:59.17
Oh, no
00:47:59.21\00:48:01.78
And wonders never cease.
00:48:01.81\00:48:07.92
Wonders never cease,
00:48:35.38\00:48:36.71
and you know Jeremy has so
many stories about students
00:48:36.75\00:48:40.12
whose lives have been impacted,
00:48:40.15\00:48:41.55
who've turned their
lives over to Christ,
00:48:41.58\00:48:43.45
but we don't have
time for them all,
00:48:43.49\00:48:44.95
but please share
the story of Rocky?
00:48:44.99\00:48:47.92
So Rocky Wang, he
actually began our school
00:48:47.96\00:48:51.06
as a third grader
00:48:51.09\00:48:52.43
when we used to have a
elementary program there
00:48:52.46\00:48:54.70
and then later on he
came back to our high school.
00:48:54.73\00:48:58.07
In grade 11, he
wanted to get baptized
00:48:58.10\00:49:02.24
but his family
was not interested,
00:49:02.27\00:49:04.27
but he was determined
and he argued with his family
00:49:04.31\00:49:07.08
and he convinced them to
allow him to be baptized.
00:49:07.11\00:49:10.55
Praise God.
00:49:10.58\00:49:11.91
And I remember very clearly,
00:49:11.95\00:49:14.08
it was our spring
break mission trip,
00:49:14.12\00:49:17.19
we went out to the mountains
of the aboriginal villages
00:49:17.22\00:49:20.29
and we were not just
cleaning up the village,
00:49:20.32\00:49:23.49
we're doing
00:49:23.53\00:49:24.86
the vacation Bible
school for the kids
00:49:24.89\00:49:26.83
but we also had a responsibility
00:49:26.86\00:49:28.70
of putting on
the church programs
00:49:28.73\00:49:30.97
on either side of the trip,
00:49:31.00\00:49:32.63
so we had two church programs
00:49:32.67\00:49:35.30
and he volunteered,
he wanted to preach.
00:49:35.34\00:49:38.31
Glory to God.
00:49:38.34\00:49:39.67
And I'm sitting there
in this church program,
00:49:39.71\00:49:43.78
I remember when he
was a very little boy
00:49:43.81\00:49:46.25
and now he's upfront,
00:49:46.28\00:49:48.28
and he's preaching God's word
00:49:48.32\00:49:50.75
to our own
Seventh-day Adventist members
00:49:50.79\00:49:53.66
in the church.
00:49:53.69\00:49:55.16
You know, it was
such a real moment to see,
00:49:55.19\00:49:56.69
"Wow! God, this is You."
00:49:56.73\00:49:59.66
Amen. This is Your love.
00:49:59.69\00:50:01.33
Amen, it must...
00:50:01.36\00:50:03.93
How has it impacted to you?
00:50:03.97\00:50:05.80
How has it
changed you personally
00:50:05.83\00:50:07.57
since you've been there?
00:50:07.60\00:50:09.67
I went from thinking
00:50:09.70\00:50:11.94
that I'm coming here as
a missionary to help God.
00:50:11.97\00:50:18.05
I went from that to realizing
I'm a missionary in Taiwan
00:50:18.08\00:50:23.25
and God's gonna use
that to change my life.
00:50:23.28\00:50:26.15
Amen.
00:50:26.19\00:50:27.52
And what He's doing for
me cannot be accounted for.
00:50:27.56\00:50:30.69
It may not be a material wealth
00:50:30.73\00:50:32.93
but the blessings
that I've received,
00:50:32.96\00:50:35.46
I could never have imagined.
00:50:35.50\00:50:38.07
And I think any missionary,
00:50:38.10\00:50:40.57
maybe they have a
similar experience
00:50:40.60\00:50:42.54
that I went through
00:50:42.57\00:50:43.91
or I'm doing something for God
00:50:43.94\00:50:45.94
but actually it's all for me
00:50:45.97\00:50:48.08
and through that
His work can be impacted
00:50:48.11\00:50:51.38
on those around us.
00:50:51.41\00:50:52.75
Absolutely,
00:50:52.78\00:50:54.68
I don't know if you
know Sergio Bellino,
00:50:54.72\00:50:56.89
but I was interviewing
him not too long back
00:50:56.92\00:51:01.39
and he made the
most interesting comment
00:51:01.42\00:51:03.53
'cause he is
missionary in Africa at a school
00:51:03.56\00:51:07.33
and he said, "You know,
it is when we are in service,
00:51:07.36\00:51:14.07
it's easier for God to save us."
00:51:14.10\00:51:16.60
He said, all of us feel
like we're going into service
00:51:16.64\00:51:19.74
to be of assistance to the Lord
working in His harvest field,
00:51:19.77\00:51:23.61
but he said he realized that
00:51:23.65\00:51:25.61
it was as he went
into the mission field
00:51:25.65\00:51:27.95
that God was really doing
the salvation work on him.
00:51:27.98\00:51:32.12
I just believe with all my heart
00:51:32.15\00:51:33.89
somebody that's
listening is saying,
00:51:33.92\00:51:36.29
you know, "I'd like to
be a missionary teacher,
00:51:36.32\00:51:39.49
I would like to go
00:51:39.53\00:51:42.16
and not only impact the
students of the community
00:51:42.20\00:51:46.33
but to know that
00:51:46.37\00:51:47.80
even though I'm in
the safe area of Taiwan
00:51:47.84\00:51:50.57
that my efforts are
funding the teaching,
00:51:50.61\00:51:54.78
the training, seminary training
00:51:54.81\00:51:57.65
for those who are working
in the unorganized territories.
00:51:57.68\00:52:01.35
So if you would like to
get in touch with Jeremy,
00:52:01.38\00:52:05.22
and or perhaps,
00:52:05.25\00:52:06.59
maybe the Holy
Spirit is encouraging you
00:52:06.62\00:52:09.22
to support their
expansion program
