I want to spend my life
00:00:01.36\00:00:07.24
Mending broken people
00:00:07.27\00:00:12.11
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.14\00:00:18.41
Removing pain
00:00:18.45\00:00:23.49
Lord, let my words
00:00:23.52\00:00:29.69
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:29.72\00:00:34.26
I want to spend my life
00:00:34.30\00:00:40.04
Mending broken people
00:00:40.07\00:00:45.41
I want to spend my life
00:00:45.44\00:00:51.11
Mending broken people
00:00:51.15\00:00:54.68
Hello, and
welcome to 3ABN Today.
00:01:10.17\00:01:12.37
My name is John Lomacang.
00:01:12.40\00:01:14.04
Thank you for taking the
time to tune in to your network.
00:01:14.07\00:01:17.01
But if you are tuning
in for the very first time,
00:01:17.04\00:01:19.34
remember this network,
we are going and growing,
00:01:19.37\00:01:21.74
getting the world
ready by commission
00:01:21.78\00:01:24.05
for the soon return of Jesus.
00:01:24.08\00:01:26.65
Today, our
program is very exciting,
00:01:26.68\00:01:28.68
very informative, and
very life-transforming.
00:01:28.72\00:01:31.82
As you know, this is
a television network,
00:01:31.85\00:01:33.66
but the Bible
points out that the gospel
00:01:33.69\00:01:35.62
is going to all the world
as a witness to all nations,
00:01:35.66\00:01:38.39
but not just through television,
00:01:38.43\00:01:40.56
but also through radio.
00:01:40.60\00:01:42.60
And because it's affiliated,
00:01:42.63\00:01:44.40
this network with
the Adventist church,
00:01:44.43\00:01:46.47
we have
Adventist World Radio today
00:01:46.50\00:01:48.90
which is covering the globe
00:01:48.94\00:01:50.31
in beautiful and
magnificent ways.
00:01:50.34\00:01:53.11
And I know that your
life is gonna be transformed
00:01:53.14\00:01:55.14
as well as challenged.
00:01:55.18\00:01:56.54
So let's get right
to it and introduce
00:01:56.58\00:01:58.11
our President of Adventist
World Radio, Duane McKey.
00:01:58.15\00:02:01.25
Good to have you
here, Duane. Hey, John.
00:02:01.28\00:02:02.62
Good to be here.
Thank you so much.
00:02:02.65\00:02:03.99
It's always good
to have you on board.
00:02:04.02\00:02:05.35
I always like
those shirts you wear.
00:02:05.39\00:02:06.72
Oh, thank you, thank you.
00:02:06.76\00:02:08.09
Yeah, this is the
trumpet shirt with Adventist,
00:02:08.12\00:02:09.46
you know,
blooped, lift the trumpet.
00:02:09.49\00:02:10.83
Lift the trumpet. Yeah.
00:02:10.86\00:02:12.19
You know, whenever I see that
00:02:12.23\00:02:13.56
I said I have to do a
program on the trumpets
00:02:13.60\00:02:14.93
and have you on.
00:02:14.96\00:02:16.30
Yeah, that'd be good.
00:02:16.33\00:02:17.67
But that's the
different story all together.
00:02:17.70\00:02:19.03
But tell our listeners that,
00:02:19.07\00:02:20.40
our viewers who may not
know who you are, what you do?
00:02:20.44\00:02:22.64
Duane McKey, I am President
of Adventist World Radio,
00:02:22.67\00:02:25.17
plus I am a field secretary
for the General Conference,
00:02:25.21\00:02:27.78
we're located at
the General Conference.
00:02:27.81\00:02:29.78
Plus, I'm Elder
Wilson's assistant
00:02:29.81\00:02:31.35
for a Total Member Involvement.
00:02:31.38\00:02:33.21
And so we kind
of put it together,
00:02:33.25\00:02:34.58
we call it Adventist
World Radio, AWR 360,
00:02:34.62\00:02:37.99
and we connect the dots
so it's broadcast to baptism.
00:02:38.02\00:02:41.49
Wonderful, wonderful.
00:02:41.52\00:02:42.86
Good to have you
here. Good to be here.
00:02:42.89\00:02:44.23
And to your right, Sue Hinkle,
00:02:44.26\00:02:45.59
good to have
you here today also.
00:02:45.63\00:02:46.96
Thank you. Such a
pleasure to be here.
00:02:47.00\00:02:48.33
Yes, yes.
00:02:48.36\00:02:49.70
And our viewers and listeners
might want to know what you do.
00:02:49.73\00:02:51.90
I'm the Outreach Manager
for Adventist World Radio,
00:02:51.93\00:02:54.90
and I'm working
closely with Duane
00:02:54.94\00:02:58.21
on special outreach projects
00:02:58.24\00:03:00.08
that we're doing
around the world,
00:03:00.11\00:03:01.48
and also in North America.
00:03:01.51\00:03:02.94
Okay. Well, good
to have you here.
00:03:02.98\00:03:04.31
Thank you.
00:03:04.35\00:03:05.68
And to our far right, we have...
00:03:05.71\00:03:07.95
Let me see, Cami Oetman. Yes.
00:03:07.98\00:03:10.22
Good to have you here, Cami.
Hi. Thank you for having me.
00:03:10.25\00:03:12.29
It's an honor to be here.
00:03:12.32\00:03:14.52
My title is Vice President
00:03:14.56\00:03:15.89
for Advancement with
Adventist World Radio.
00:03:15.92\00:03:18.16
And I love what I do
to represent a ministry
00:03:18.19\00:03:22.86
that goes wherever air goes
is absolutely like limitless.
00:03:22.90\00:03:27.30
And what we're doing
with the projects coming up
00:03:27.34\00:03:31.21
is so exciting
00:03:31.24\00:03:32.67
and we're glad to be here
to share that with you today.
00:03:32.71\00:03:34.94
I like that description,
00:03:34.98\00:03:36.31
a ministry that
goes wherever air is.
00:03:36.34\00:03:37.68
That's right. That's right.
00:03:37.71\00:03:39.75
Because the gospel...
00:03:39.78\00:03:41.12
In this case, you could say
flying in the midst of heaven,
00:03:41.15\00:03:44.69
really Adventist World Radio.
00:03:44.72\00:03:46.05
In a nutshell, kind of
tell us a little bit about
00:03:46.09\00:03:48.32
Adventist World Radio
00:03:48.36\00:03:49.69
'cause some of our listeners
and viewers might be saying,
00:03:49.72\00:03:51.26
"I don't even
know what that is."
00:03:51.29\00:03:52.63
Sure. We started in 1971.
00:03:52.66\00:03:54.36
It was Elder Wilson actually,
00:03:54.40\00:03:56.73
Neal Wilson, the senior
00:03:56.77\00:03:58.73
who had a vision
to reach the world
00:03:58.77\00:04:00.44
through shortwave radio.
00:04:00.47\00:04:01.80
We started in Portugal
and we've been broadcasting
00:04:01.84\00:04:03.97
from Guam and Portugal,
and other eight locations,
00:04:04.01\00:04:07.08
shortwave around the world.
00:04:07.11\00:04:08.44
We also have a thousand AM/FM
00:04:08.48\00:04:10.95
and internet
stations around the world.
00:04:10.98\00:04:12.95
So we reach the world
through radio and internet.
00:04:12.98\00:04:16.89
We're branching out
into more internet things,
00:04:16.92\00:04:18.85
we'll be talking
about cell phone evangelism
00:04:18.89\00:04:20.96
and YouTube evangelism,
00:04:20.99\00:04:22.69
and any digital way
that we can reach the world.
00:04:22.72\00:04:26.29
We're excited about that.
00:04:26.33\00:04:27.66
We're starting a center
00:04:27.70\00:04:29.03
for digital
evangelism in the Philippines.
00:04:29.06\00:04:31.77
So we can take all
the digital interest
00:04:31.80\00:04:33.47
from the Adventist Church
and we can get back to them
00:04:33.50\00:04:36.47
within 10
minutes and connect them
00:04:36.50\00:04:38.34
through the cloud,
through the internet
00:04:38.37\00:04:39.87
to prayer and to Bible studies
00:04:39.91\00:04:42.71
and then finally to a
local church, and baptism.
00:04:42.74\00:04:45.41
So we're excited about
what can happen with AWR.
00:04:45.45\00:04:48.38
When you talk about cloud
base, you know, we can now say,
00:04:48.42\00:04:51.02
"Behold, He cometh with clouds"
almost in the technical sense,
00:04:51.05\00:04:54.42
that the gospel
is going everywhere
00:04:54.46\00:04:56.19
through
cloud-based internet protocols
00:04:56.22\00:04:58.69
and the best time to
use it is now while we can.
00:04:58.73\00:05:01.26
Absolutely, absolutely.
00:05:01.30\00:05:02.76
You know, I'm
familiar with the fact
00:05:02.80\00:05:04.43
that there are
challenges around our world,
00:05:04.47\00:05:06.37
but one of the places
where it's really on the scope
00:05:06.40\00:05:09.54
of the political
stage is North Korea.
00:05:09.57\00:05:13.11
Yet, Adventist World Radio
00:05:13.14\00:05:14.58
is actively
working even in that area.
00:05:14.61\00:05:16.61
We are, we are.
Let's talk about that.
00:05:16.64\00:05:18.11
Yeah, we have three...
00:05:18.15\00:05:20.48
We're just adding actually
another shortwave broadcast
00:05:20.52\00:05:22.85
and an FM broadcast,
00:05:22.88\00:05:24.22
we'll talk about
that in a few minutes.
00:05:24.25\00:05:25.59
But just before Christmas,
00:05:25.62\00:05:27.09
it was seven
degrees Fahrenheit, cold.
00:05:27.12\00:05:31.36
We're on the DMZ
00:05:31.39\00:05:33.03
and we're talking about a story,
00:05:33.06\00:05:35.66
about what happened,
and it's a fantastic story.
00:05:35.70\00:05:38.10
Cami, just... It is.
00:05:38.13\00:05:39.77
Yeah, when we
heard of this story,
00:05:39.80\00:05:41.77
we knew we had
to go and film it.
00:05:41.80\00:05:43.84
And what's incredible
is that God connected us
00:05:43.87\00:05:46.47
with the actual
pastor so we could hear...
00:05:46.51\00:05:49.01
He was a missionary
there that is in this story.
00:05:49.04\00:05:51.28
We could hear from his words
00:05:51.31\00:05:52.65
exactly how
these scenes happened.
00:05:52.68\00:05:54.72
So we were able to
recreate it in such a way
00:05:54.75\00:05:57.62
that we can share it with
you now and I think you...
00:05:57.65\00:06:01.72
I know it impacts my
heart every time we see it so...
00:06:01.76\00:06:03.99
Okay. Well, let's go to
that video, North Korea.
00:06:04.03\00:06:06.43
Yes.
00:06:06.46\00:06:10.27
Surrounded in a
culture that is defined
00:06:10.30\00:06:12.47
as strong and defiant,
00:06:12.50\00:06:14.57
rich and ancient
customs and traditions,
00:06:14.60\00:06:17.04
these beautiful people
live in harmony and freedom.
00:06:17.07\00:06:21.04
It is difficult to imagine
that only miles from here
00:06:21.08\00:06:23.85
is one of the most
dangerous places on earth,
00:06:23.88\00:06:26.25
a land where
missionaries cannot go.
00:06:26.28\00:06:31.22
What I love about
Adventist World Radio
00:06:31.25\00:06:33.59
is that it is The Ministry
that goes wherever air goes.
00:06:33.62\00:06:37.63
AWR began in 1971
00:06:58.81\00:07:01.02
with the mission to
spread the gospel message
00:07:01.05\00:07:03.72
to hard-to-reach places.
00:07:03.75\00:07:07.02
Nearly 50 years later,
this is still our mission.
00:07:07.06\00:07:09.42
Broadcasting from
strategic locations
00:07:12.93\00:07:15.40
around the
globe, AWR can be heard
00:07:15.43\00:07:17.30
in over 100
languages via shortwave radio
00:07:17.33\00:07:20.54
with a special
focus on the 10/40 window.
00:07:20.57\00:07:24.27
Our network also
includes over a thousand FM, AM,
00:07:24.31\00:07:27.91
DAB, and internet stations.
00:07:27.94\00:07:31.01
AWR is expanding
to all media platforms
00:07:31.05\00:07:33.88
such as Facebook Audio, YouTube,
00:07:33.92\00:07:36.55
and AWR cell phone evangelism.
00:07:36.58\00:07:40.06
Our motto, no walls,
no borders, no limits.
00:07:40.09\00:07:44.93
This year, our
special focus is North Korea.
00:07:44.96\00:07:50.37
Home to 25 million people,
00:07:50.40\00:07:51.90
the country right behind me
hardly needs an introduction,
00:07:51.93\00:07:54.87
but behind the
political military headlines
00:07:54.90\00:07:57.41
that reach our
shores, we can only imagine
00:07:57.44\00:07:59.84
how the millions of
common North Koreans
00:07:59.87\00:08:02.31
are starving for hope,
truth, and a better life,
00:08:02.34\00:08:05.61
like many other radio
programs in North Korea,
00:08:05.65\00:08:08.48
our AWR broadcasts
have often been jammed.
00:08:08.52\00:08:13.72
We recently began a
new high-power AM broadcast
00:08:13.76\00:08:17.06
into North Korea from Mongolia.
00:08:17.09\00:08:19.29
And we are so
excited for its success
00:08:19.33\00:08:21.80
at touching
more lives than ever.
00:08:21.83\00:08:23.87
Only a handful of stories
from North Korea make it out,
00:08:23.90\00:08:27.00
but the few that do spur us on,
the following is one of them.
00:08:27.04\00:08:31.61
One night at my church,
00:08:40.95\00:08:42.52
an unfamiliar woman
entered and sat near the back.
00:08:42.55\00:08:45.95
Her face boar hard
lines hiding her youth.
00:08:45.99\00:08:49.92
I wondered who she was.
00:08:49.96\00:08:52.59
This stranger sat alone on a pew
00:08:52.63\00:08:55.33
and after everyone had
left, the pastor joined her.
00:08:55.36\00:08:59.93
"I escaped North
Korea," she admitted.
00:08:59.97\00:09:03.47
"And I'm not safe
here in China either,
00:09:03.51\00:09:07.08
but I have one
request," she said.
00:09:07.11\00:09:11.65
"Will you baptize me?"
00:09:11.68\00:09:13.01
"Do you even know
what baptism means?"
00:09:16.08\00:09:18.25
I questioned.
00:09:18.29\00:09:20.56
"Yes."
00:09:20.59\00:09:21.99
Was her resolute response.
00:09:22.02\00:09:24.63
"I learned about
Jesus through the radio."
00:09:24.66\00:09:27.33
While in hiding, this
dear woman found a radio.
00:09:33.17\00:09:37.14
And tuning had stopped
00:09:37.17\00:09:38.61
when she heard bits
00:09:38.64\00:09:39.97
of the familiar Korean language.
00:09:40.01\00:09:43.71
It was the voice of hope
through Adventist World Radio.
00:09:43.75\00:09:48.68
This discovery soon
turned her loneliness and fear
00:09:48.72\00:09:52.22
into courage and hope as
she learned about the one
00:09:52.25\00:09:55.52
who left all and
died for her salvation.
00:09:55.56\00:09:59.16
A longing was born in her heart
00:09:59.19\00:10:01.20
to one day go back and
share what she was learning
00:10:01.23\00:10:04.63
with her family and
friends in North Korea.
00:10:04.67\00:10:09.20
We studied the Bible
together for one week
00:10:09.24\00:10:11.54
and she soaked up every word.
00:10:11.57\00:10:14.71
You could feel the
Holy Spirit's presence
00:10:14.74\00:10:17.81
in the room.
00:10:17.85\00:10:20.85
After this week of studying,
a secret baptism was held.
00:10:20.88\00:10:24.95
All the doors and
windows were closed,
00:10:24.99\00:10:26.86
and everyone's
saying hymn softly
00:10:26.89\00:10:29.02
so as not to be heard.
00:10:29.06\00:10:31.26
And in a lonely bathtub,
00:10:31.29\00:10:33.13
this North Korean
lady was baptized.
00:10:33.16\00:10:35.93
With tear-stained
cheeks and joyous eyes,
00:10:40.74\00:10:43.30
she declared her
allegiance to God alone.
00:10:43.34\00:10:48.98
After her baptism,
00:10:49.01\00:10:50.35
she expressed her
desire for freedom
00:10:50.38\00:10:52.71
and the ability
to study the Bible
00:10:52.75\00:10:55.02
at the Adventist
University in South Korea.
00:10:55.05\00:10:58.25
She set off on
foot that very night.
00:10:58.29\00:11:00.99
Sometime later, I
received a phone call.
00:11:08.66\00:11:11.60
The voice on the other
line said in a whisper,
00:11:11.63\00:11:14.34
"I have safely
arrived to the border.
00:11:14.37\00:11:17.01
Tonight is the night.
00:11:17.04\00:11:18.81
Please, pray for me."
00:11:18.84\00:11:21.48
All I could think about
00:11:21.51\00:11:22.84
were the eight
strands of barbed wire.
00:11:22.88\00:11:25.48
Would she make it?
00:11:25.51\00:11:29.55
Unfortunately, she did not cross
00:11:29.58\00:11:31.99
the border that night.
00:11:32.02\00:11:33.79
But was found
by Chinese soldiers
00:11:33.82\00:11:36.46
who sent her back to
her country of birth,
00:11:36.49\00:11:39.69
where she was executed.
00:11:39.73\00:11:43.10
I was so saddened
to receive this news.
00:11:43.13\00:11:46.47
I would never see
those joyful eyes again.
00:11:46.50\00:11:51.01
I remember what she had told me,
00:11:51.04\00:11:53.78
"Even if I'm captured,
00:11:53.81\00:11:56.24
I will die with
the hope of salvation."
00:11:56.28\00:12:01.88
She sought freedom.
00:12:01.92\00:12:03.69
And what the
North Korean soldiers
00:12:03.72\00:12:05.69
did not realize is,
00:12:05.72\00:12:07.52
she found it,
00:12:07.56\00:12:10.96
true freedom in Jesus Christ,
00:12:10.99\00:12:14.66
and no one could
take this from her.
00:12:14.70\00:12:17.87
There are many others
who are also seeking freedom.
00:12:22.87\00:12:26.07
Will you join us in
setting the captives free?
00:12:26.11\00:12:28.98
By God's grace,
with your support,
00:12:29.01\00:12:32.01
AWR will fulfill
this dear woman's dream
00:12:32.05\00:12:35.42
to tell the
people of North Korea
00:12:35.45\00:12:37.69
about Jesus soon coming.
00:12:37.72\00:12:39.69
From broadcast to
baptism, this is AWR360.
00:12:39.72\00:12:44.19
Wow.
00:12:57.94\00:12:59.27
I have to gain my composure
as I looked at that video.
00:12:59.31\00:13:03.04
Being the host, you
can't tune back in to me
00:13:03.08\00:13:05.35
with tears running down my eyes
but believe me they are there.
00:13:05.38\00:13:09.78
That's the power of radio.
00:13:09.82\00:13:11.69
No walls, no borders,
00:13:11.72\00:13:14.79
and there's one precious soul
00:13:14.82\00:13:17.06
waiting for the
coming of the Lord.
00:13:17.09\00:13:18.99
Because of the
diligent labor of a message
00:13:19.03\00:13:22.23
that penetrated
places of darkness
00:13:22.26\00:13:25.00
and there are
still many more in the...
00:13:25.03\00:13:26.97
6/80, 6/40?
00:13:27.00\00:13:29.84
Yeah. The 6/40 window.
00:13:29.87\00:13:31.44
10/40. Yeah.
00:13:31.47\00:13:32.81
The 10/40 window. Yeah, yeah.
00:13:32.84\00:13:34.38
But wow, you know, this is...
00:13:34.41\00:13:36.85
You can't watch
that without being moved.
00:13:36.88\00:13:38.21
Yeah, that's right.
Somebody say something.
00:13:38.25\00:13:41.85
I'm at a loss for words here.
00:13:41.88\00:13:43.55
The pastor talked to us
when we were there in December.
00:13:43.59\00:13:46.49
And it was incredible
00:13:46.52\00:13:47.86
as he recounted
what had happened.
00:13:47.89\00:13:49.22
Her desire was to
study what we believed
00:13:49.26\00:13:52.79
after she got to South
Korea and then go back,
00:13:52.83\00:13:54.90
swim the river again
and go back to North Korea
00:13:54.93\00:13:58.23
to share her faith about Jesus
with her friends and family.
00:13:58.27\00:14:03.44
The pastor when
he told us the story,
00:14:03.47\00:14:04.81
he started to cry
again and he said,
00:14:04.84\00:14:06.64
"I just kept
remembering when I baptized her
00:14:06.68\00:14:09.54
and I brought her up,"
when he got that phone call
00:14:09.58\00:14:11.28
then that she
was shot and killed,
00:14:11.31\00:14:12.78
he said I kept remembering,
00:14:12.81\00:14:14.32
trying to wipe the
tears from her eyes
00:14:14.35\00:14:16.32
because she kept crying
00:14:16.35\00:14:17.95
because she was so
thankful to be baptized.
00:14:17.99\00:14:19.82
Wow.
00:14:19.85\00:14:21.19
You know, what
that brings to mind
00:14:21.22\00:14:22.56
is the moment
which is coming soon.
00:14:22.59\00:14:24.53
We're in heaven.
00:14:24.56\00:14:26.06
We are gonna say to our
angels, "Please find her,
00:14:26.09\00:14:29.40
we have to tell her something."
00:14:29.43\00:14:31.37
And they're gonna find
her, and we get to say to her,
00:14:31.40\00:14:34.37
"AWR took on your message
00:14:34.40\00:14:36.20
and told the whole
world your testimony.
00:14:36.24\00:14:38.77
What you did was so courageous,
and it spread around the world,
00:14:38.81\00:14:42.04
and you were a
witness to others."
00:14:42.08\00:14:44.25
And that your story was...
00:14:44.28\00:14:46.38
That's right. So we
have taken that mission.
00:14:46.41\00:14:48.48
Well, that's our
mission to tell the world.
00:14:48.52\00:14:49.85
And tell her
people in North Korea.
00:14:49.88\00:14:51.45
Yeah, her voice
has not been silenced.
00:14:51.49\00:14:52.92
Right. That's right.
00:14:52.95\00:14:54.29
You know, it goes on.
00:14:54.32\00:14:55.66
Her voice has not been silenced.
00:14:55.69\00:14:57.03
You remind me when Jesus said,
00:14:57.06\00:14:58.39
"Wherever the
gospel is preached...
00:14:58.43\00:14:59.76
this woman will be mentioned."
00:14:59.79\00:15:01.13
Yeah. Amen.
00:15:01.16\00:15:02.50
And that's what Adventist
World Radio has taken on.
00:15:02.53\00:15:03.87
That's right.
00:15:03.90\00:15:05.23
I'll tell you, it's
hard to look at that.
00:15:05.27\00:15:07.27
Sue, you're
captured like I am...
00:15:07.30\00:15:09.20
it's hard to look at that.
00:15:09.24\00:15:10.57
It's very moving.
00:15:10.61\00:15:12.37
I mean, it made me think,
00:15:12.41\00:15:14.68
"What are we doing to
sacrifice for the gospel?"
00:15:14.71\00:15:17.65
You know, here in North America,
00:15:17.68\00:15:19.01
here where it's easy,
00:15:19.05\00:15:21.08
you know, "what are we doing?"
00:15:21.12\00:15:23.39
This is our motivation
really to tell everyone
00:15:23.42\00:15:28.12
in every manner available to us.
00:15:28.16\00:15:31.09
Spread the gospel to them
00:15:31.13\00:15:32.56
because they need
hope, they need hope.
00:15:32.59\00:15:36.67
This is a dying world,
and we're running out of time.
00:15:36.70\00:15:41.00
You know, the text in the Bible,
00:15:41.04\00:15:42.37
"Blessed are the
dead, who die in the Lord.
00:15:42.40\00:15:44.24
Precious in the
sight of the Lord
00:15:44.27\00:15:46.47
is the death of His saints."
00:15:46.51\00:15:48.28
And she's going to come forth,
00:15:48.31\00:15:52.61
no more bullet wounds
00:15:52.65\00:15:54.42
and rejoicing,
and how amazing it is,
00:15:54.45\00:15:57.29
you know, as you
listen and watch your program,
00:15:57.32\00:15:58.65
you might be in your
car or you might be at home
00:15:58.69\00:16:00.29
watching this broadcast.
00:16:00.32\00:16:02.16
But truly, what we
talked about here today
00:16:02.19\00:16:04.43
is Adventist World Radio, 3ABN,
00:16:04.46\00:16:06.70
and a number of other ministries
00:16:06.73\00:16:08.76
are really thinking about
people that are behind walls,
00:16:08.80\00:16:12.23
that have never
heard the name Jesus.
00:16:12.27\00:16:13.97
That's right.
00:16:14.00\00:16:15.34
And the enemy is so determined
00:16:15.37\00:16:17.01
to shut out the
glory of who Jesus is.
00:16:17.04\00:16:20.38
But what he cannot do
is take it from her heart.
00:16:20.41\00:16:23.38
You know, the Bible
says, "Do not fear those
00:16:23.41\00:16:25.48
who are able to kill the body."
00:16:25.51\00:16:27.32
Because when she comes forth
00:16:27.35\00:16:28.68
on that glorious
resurrection morning,
00:16:28.72\00:16:30.42
she'll come forth
with the knowledge
00:16:30.45\00:16:31.82
of the last thing,
"I gave my life to Jesus
00:16:31.85\00:16:33.82
and here I am in eternity."
00:16:33.86\00:16:35.22
Amen. Wow, what a witness.
00:16:35.26\00:16:37.03
But North Korea is one of
the places, but there are...
00:16:37.06\00:16:39.89
What about Rwanda?
00:16:39.93\00:16:41.26
Let's talk about
Rwanda for a minute.
00:16:41.30\00:16:42.63
You know,
Rwanda, there are too...
00:16:42.66\00:16:44.00
We'll, you know,
that's lift up the trumpet
00:16:44.03\00:16:45.40
in loud that it rings.
00:16:45.43\00:16:46.77
So we broadcast across Rwanda.
00:16:46.80\00:16:48.14
And not too long ago,
00:16:48.17\00:16:49.50
we had a lot of meetings
over 2,000 across Rwanda,
00:16:49.54\00:16:52.64
and 100,000 people first time
in the history of the church
00:16:52.67\00:16:56.14
had been baptized,
over 100,000 people.
00:16:56.18\00:16:58.41
Unbelievable.
00:16:58.45\00:16:59.78
But to reach them, we need...
00:16:59.81\00:17:01.15
We thought, you
know, what we need to do
00:17:01.18\00:17:02.82
to keep connections with them
00:17:02.85\00:17:05.09
is to have
better radio coverage.
00:17:05.12\00:17:07.26
And so we voted
right away, AWR did,
00:17:07.29\00:17:09.79
to put a half a million
dollars into towers in Rwanda
00:17:09.82\00:17:13.93
to cover the whole country
plus the neighboring countries,
00:17:13.96\00:17:16.63
parts of them as well.
00:17:16.67\00:17:18.00
And, Sue, you were just there.
00:17:18.03\00:17:19.37
I was just there,
00:17:19.40\00:17:20.74
and there's really
some exciting work.
00:17:20.77\00:17:22.37
And talking about needing
hope, while we were in Rwanda...
00:17:22.40\00:17:26.57
And we'll show you a
little video clip here
00:17:26.61\00:17:28.74
in just a moment.
00:17:28.78\00:17:30.11
While we were there,
we had the opportunity
00:17:30.15\00:17:32.35
to visit one of the
refugee camps there.
00:17:32.38\00:17:35.92
And if my
memory serves me right,
00:17:35.95\00:17:38.85
there was 54,200
refugees in that camp.
00:17:38.89\00:17:43.63
And we're thinking how...
00:17:43.66\00:17:44.99
And there's many of these
camps all across the country.
00:17:45.03\00:17:48.00
How can we reach
them besides the radio?
00:17:48.03\00:17:52.53
You know, you can't get
in these refugees' camps.
00:17:52.57\00:17:56.14
We had to have government
permission to get inside
00:17:56.17\00:17:58.87
which we were able to.
00:17:58.91\00:18:00.81
And how can we work?
00:18:00.84\00:18:02.84
We can't send a
preacher in there as well.
00:18:02.88\00:18:05.61
And so...
00:18:05.65\00:18:07.12
But there are
Seventh-day Adventists in there.
00:18:07.15\00:18:08.95
We can help equip the
Seventh-day Adventists
00:18:08.98\00:18:12.22
that are in this
camp to reach the people,
00:18:12.25\00:18:15.12
the rest of the people.
00:18:15.16\00:18:16.76
And so besides broadcasting
across that country,
00:18:16.79\00:18:20.56
which those towers
are gonna broadcast
00:18:20.60\00:18:22.86
into all the
neighboring countries as well.
00:18:22.90\00:18:26.00
But we are going to
be giving them Godpods,
00:18:26.03\00:18:30.17
these little audio players
that they can use for ministry.
00:18:30.21\00:18:34.71
And why don't we
roll this video clip
00:18:34.74\00:18:36.81
now about Rwanda.
00:18:36.85\00:18:38.45
You'll see the
towers, the one in Kigali,
00:18:38.48\00:18:41.92
and I'll just talk
over it while it's playing.
00:18:41.95\00:18:44.29
The one in Kigali,
we had a smaller one,
00:18:44.32\00:18:47.16
and it's 30 meters,
00:18:47.19\00:18:49.96
and we just put up a larger one.
00:18:49.99\00:18:51.79
This is a larger one
you're looking at here
00:18:51.83\00:18:54.36
and it's 71 meters.
00:18:54.40\00:18:56.30
So more than double the size.
00:18:56.33\00:18:59.23
And so this is going
to be a phenomenal reach.
00:18:59.27\00:19:03.37
You can see the
two towers there,
00:19:03.41\00:19:04.84
the small one on the right,
the larger one on the left.
00:19:04.87\00:19:07.64
This is the
station there in Kigali,
00:19:07.68\00:19:10.85
and that's broadcasting,
00:19:10.88\00:19:12.85
and the radio
station manager there.
00:19:12.88\00:19:15.82
And oh, he's on fire.
00:19:15.85\00:19:18.15
Here's in the refugee camp,
00:19:18.19\00:19:19.82
I was giving one of the Godpods.
00:19:19.85\00:19:22.42
And this is
Mahama Refugee Camp here
00:19:22.46\00:19:26.56
that we were able to go into.
00:19:26.59\00:19:28.73
Imagine the hope...
00:19:28.76\00:19:30.50
Those are refugee houses?
00:19:30.53\00:19:31.87
These are refugee houses,
00:19:31.90\00:19:33.40
54,200 people live in this camp.
00:19:33.44\00:19:37.44
And can you imagine the
hope that's needed there?
00:19:37.47\00:19:40.28
Yeah.
00:19:40.31\00:19:41.64
What a privilege we
have to serve the people
00:19:41.68\00:19:44.95
there in Rwanda.
00:19:44.98\00:19:46.31
Amen.
00:19:46.35\00:19:47.68
It's amazing that they
put all those houses up.
00:19:47.72\00:19:49.88
I was expecting
to see like tents,
00:19:49.92\00:19:51.99
and blue tarp,
and all that but...
00:19:52.02\00:19:53.46
This is
actually what I was told,
00:19:53.49\00:19:55.89
the nicest
refugee camp in Rwanda.
00:19:55.92\00:19:58.99
The others have the
tents and the tarps.
00:19:59.03\00:20:01.43
Wow.
00:20:01.46\00:20:02.80
Now the Godpods
are so important...
00:20:02.83\00:20:04.17
I was gonna talk about that.
00:20:04.20\00:20:05.53
You know, we were paying
about $38 a piece for them,
00:20:05.57\00:20:07.84
having to made in China.
00:20:07.87\00:20:09.20
Then we found another source,
00:20:09.24\00:20:10.57
we're getting it for
$18, which is wonderful.
00:20:10.61\00:20:13.38
But now we have found
another source for $10 a piece.
00:20:13.41\00:20:16.18
So we would like to have,
00:20:16.21\00:20:18.05
you know, tens of
thousands of those
00:20:18.08\00:20:19.41
to go to all across
Rwanda, to these refugee camps.
00:20:19.45\00:20:22.48
I was just in
MENA, in the Middle East,
00:20:22.52\00:20:24.85
our headquarter is there.
00:20:24.89\00:20:26.22
And they said, "This
is the best way to reach,
00:20:26.25\00:20:29.06
a lot of these
very difficult ways,
00:20:29.09\00:20:31.09
places to reach
there in the MENA area
00:20:31.13\00:20:34.00
in the Middle East."
00:20:34.03\00:20:35.36
And they said, "We could
use a hundred thousand of them."
00:20:35.40\00:20:38.73
So we're praying that
we can put that together
00:20:38.77\00:20:40.80
and reach out to MENA
00:20:40.84\00:20:42.90
with a hundred thousand Godpods.
00:20:42.94\00:20:44.27
Now what actually
is on the Godpods?
00:20:44.31\00:20:46.47
Is it a receiving of broadcast?
00:20:46.51\00:20:47.84
Whatever we
want, whatever we want.
00:20:47.88\00:20:49.21
So you could load it in?
00:20:49.24\00:20:50.58
Yeah, and what you can do,
00:20:50.61\00:20:51.95
like in this
very difficult areas,
00:20:51.98\00:20:53.31
is you get the Godpods in
first with not much on them,
00:20:53.35\00:20:56.32
maybe some music,
00:20:56.35\00:20:57.69
or maybe a language
program, or something.
00:20:57.72\00:20:59.69
And then they had
little cards that...
00:20:59.72\00:21:01.82
Oh!
00:21:01.86\00:21:03.19
So you can get
those in separately
00:21:03.22\00:21:05.03
and you can put Bible on
them, you can put Bible study,
00:21:05.06\00:21:07.53
you can put prophecy,
you can put health message.
00:21:07.56\00:21:09.33
Okay.
00:21:09.36\00:21:10.70
So it'll pay me but maybe like
an SD card, a mini SD card...
00:21:10.73\00:21:12.73
It is an SD card,
that's what goes in.
00:21:12.77\00:21:14.40
And then you can load
it as big as you want it,
00:21:14.44\00:21:16.81
put as much as
you want to on it,
00:21:16.84\00:21:18.17
and then you
get them separately,
00:21:18.21\00:21:19.54
and then you can
put them together,
00:21:19.57\00:21:20.91
and then people
can listen to them.
00:21:20.94\00:21:22.28
You know, we're
using these Godpods
00:21:22.31\00:21:24.11
not only in
these other countries
00:21:24.15\00:21:26.55
but right here in North America.
00:21:26.58\00:21:29.22
We were able to partner
00:21:29.25\00:21:31.05
with Your Best
Pathway to Health.
00:21:31.09\00:21:33.05
And in the City of Phoenix,
00:21:33.09\00:21:36.86
because they have a
lot of refugees there,
00:21:36.89\00:21:39.89
we thought how can we
reach out to the refugees
00:21:39.93\00:21:42.00
right here in North America.
00:21:42.03\00:21:43.83
And so we were able
to take some Godpods
00:21:43.87\00:21:47.67
to the Your Best
Pathway to Health.
00:21:47.70\00:21:51.01
And they will be distributed
00:21:51.04\00:21:52.37
to these
different refugee groups.
00:21:52.41\00:21:54.41
And so they are gonna
be learning the gospel
00:21:54.44\00:21:56.34
in their own languages
right here in North America,
00:21:56.38\00:21:59.11
which then they can share
with their family back home
00:21:59.15\00:22:02.92
in their respective countries.
00:22:02.95\00:22:04.29
Like the Ethiopian
Unicorn as way back.
00:22:04.32\00:22:05.95
That's right.
00:22:05.99\00:22:07.32
You know, Lord
sends out Phillip,
00:22:07.36\00:22:09.12
engages him, and he
goes back to Ethiopia.
00:22:09.16\00:22:10.49
Right. Absolutely.
00:22:10.53\00:22:12.09
You know, this
is an amazing thing
00:22:12.13\00:22:13.46
because we talk
about technology,
00:22:13.50\00:22:14.83
and I like the term Godpod.
00:22:14.86\00:22:16.83
But what is, in fact,
happening, there was a time,
00:22:16.87\00:22:19.70
you know, we go
back to the Commodore 64,
00:22:19.73\00:22:22.50
I'm old enough to remember that,
00:22:22.54\00:22:24.44
but still young enough
not to forget that memory.
00:22:24.47\00:22:27.48
But there was
only like 64 kilobytes,
00:22:27.51\00:22:29.98
and I remember
this big floppy disk,
00:22:30.01\00:22:32.05
and they say that's all
the storage you'll need.
00:22:32.08\00:22:33.68
But nowadays, there's something
00:22:33.72\00:22:35.05
just about the
size of your fingernail,
00:22:35.08\00:22:37.59
you can get about
128 gigabytes of storage.
00:22:37.62\00:22:41.09
And can you imagine,
I'm sure you are imagining
00:22:41.12\00:22:44.06
how much you can get video,
if it plays video or audio
00:22:44.09\00:22:47.46
if it plays audio alone.
00:22:47.50\00:22:48.83
Yeah. That's a
lot of evangelism.
00:22:48.86\00:22:50.43
Right.
00:22:50.47\00:22:51.80
And so how do you get these...
00:22:51.83\00:22:53.17
You don't have to
tell me specifically
00:22:53.20\00:22:54.54
but when you get
the Godpods there,
00:22:54.57\00:22:56.24
then you have ways of
getting the material to them
00:22:56.27\00:22:57.87
to put on the Godpod.
00:22:57.91\00:22:59.24
Yeah, yeah. That's phenomenal.
00:22:59.27\00:23:00.71
Yeah, yeah, we
can't tell you if it's...
00:23:00.74\00:23:02.14
Right, exactly that's
why I chose not to ask,
00:23:02.18\00:23:04.28
I figured this is an
undercover operation.
00:23:04.31\00:23:07.08
Yeah. It is.
00:23:07.12\00:23:09.08
There are ways, there are ways.
00:23:09.12\00:23:10.89
This brings to mind
another exciting story.
00:23:10.92\00:23:13.82
Duane, you have spent
a lot of time in Africa.
00:23:13.86\00:23:16.16
And we had an
exciting story come to us,
00:23:16.19\00:23:18.29
but why don't you go
ahead and start your...
00:23:18.33\00:23:19.66
We were missionaries in Africa
00:23:19.69\00:23:21.36
and for a long
time, almost 10 years.
00:23:21.40\00:23:23.70
And I was up in Kinshasa,
00:23:23.73\00:23:25.07
the capital of
the Congo, Zaire then.
00:23:25.10\00:23:27.04
And, you know, the
Congress been amazing
00:23:27.07\00:23:28.60
in the last few years,
you know, it's incredible.
00:23:28.64\00:23:32.97
They don't know how
many people have died there
00:23:33.01\00:23:34.68
but it's unbelievable.
00:23:34.71\00:23:36.04
We're still having problems
00:23:36.08\00:23:37.41
but this is
back a few years ago.
00:23:37.45\00:23:39.01
And we're broadcasting
there now, a shortwave.
00:23:39.05\00:23:42.12
But I was in Kinshasa,
and it was early morning,
00:23:42.15\00:23:44.62
and I came down
out of the hotel,
00:23:44.65\00:23:45.99
I was gonna go to the airport.
00:23:46.02\00:23:47.76
And all of a sudden,
00:23:47.79\00:23:49.49
a pretty young
lady comes up to me.
00:23:49.52\00:23:51.79
And she says, "Have you slept?"
00:23:51.83\00:23:54.30
Oh yeah, I just got up.
00:23:54.33\00:23:56.50
"No, no, no," she said,
"Have you slept with a girl?"
00:23:56.53\00:24:00.27
And I said,
"Listen, I'm a missionary."
00:24:00.30\00:24:02.67
And I said,
"Yeah, I'll pray for you
00:24:02.70\00:24:04.11
but no, this is not..."
00:24:04.14\00:24:06.31
So I talked to her
something about Jesus,
00:24:06.34\00:24:08.48
and then she left.
00:24:08.51\00:24:09.94
And then, just recently, Cami...
00:24:09.98\00:24:12.35
Yeah, and, you know,
I'm sure you were thinking,
00:24:12.38\00:24:14.28
"Oh, how could I reach
such a person with the gospel?"
00:24:14.32\00:24:17.22
And so we have a prime story
00:24:17.25\00:24:18.89
that has just come in
the last few months here,
00:24:18.92\00:24:21.32
of this young
woman who in the Congo
00:24:21.36\00:24:24.96
was coerced by a man
to come out of her village
00:24:24.99\00:24:29.50
and go into the city
where she could make money,
00:24:29.53\00:24:31.33
and send some
money back to her family,
00:24:31.37\00:24:33.20
and a better life.
00:24:33.23\00:24:35.14
Well, of course,
this is not what happened.
00:24:35.17\00:24:38.07
This man actually sold
her on an hourly basis.
00:24:38.11\00:24:44.71
And so I don't
know how to express...
00:24:44.75\00:24:48.65
Well, prostitution. Thank you.
00:24:48.68\00:24:50.75
She was a
prostitute and she was,
00:24:50.79\00:24:53.92
you know, this is not
what she was expecting,
00:24:53.96\00:24:55.59
and this became very difficult.
00:24:55.62\00:24:57.93
And this man, you
know, at one point said,
00:24:57.96\00:25:00.10
"I don't have the money,
your portion to pay you."
00:25:00.13\00:25:02.56
Like he had already spent
it on himself or whatever,
00:25:02.60\00:25:05.60
"I don't have money to pay you
00:25:05.63\00:25:06.97
but you know, I do
have this shortwave radio.
00:25:07.00\00:25:09.54
I could just give you.
00:25:09.57\00:25:10.91
I'm gonna give that to
you instead paying you."
00:25:10.94\00:25:12.37
And she goes, "I
don't, I need the money."
00:25:12.41\00:25:14.41
And, you know,
"I'm not interested."
00:25:14.44\00:25:16.31
"Well, either
take it or leave it".
00:25:16.34\00:25:17.68
So she's says, "Okay."
00:25:17.71\00:25:19.18
So she takes the radio.
00:25:19.21\00:25:20.55
She goes home,
00:25:20.58\00:25:21.92
and she starts
fiddling around with the radio.
00:25:21.95\00:25:23.79
She heard this beautiful music
that brought peace to her soul.
00:25:23.82\00:25:27.72
And she just started
listening and listening.
00:25:27.76\00:25:30.46
A long story short,
00:25:30.49\00:25:31.99
she connected, it was
Adventist World Radio.
00:25:32.03\00:25:35.20
And what a gift,
huh, the shortwave radio.
00:25:35.23\00:25:38.90
And she connected
with Adventist World Radio,
00:25:38.93\00:25:41.57
rode into the
local station there,
00:25:41.60\00:25:44.07
and found the nearest church.
00:25:44.11\00:25:45.64
That church family, as
we all should, took her in
00:25:45.67\00:25:49.61
and said, "How can we help you?
00:25:49.64\00:25:50.98
What can we do?"
00:25:51.01\00:25:52.35
In such a way, they actually
got her away from that man,
00:25:52.38\00:25:54.98
and so she was
baptized just shortly,
00:25:55.02\00:25:58.02
what, a month ago?
00:25:58.05\00:25:59.39
Amen. Amen.
00:25:59.42\00:26:00.79
So God is, you
know, reaching people
00:26:00.82\00:26:05.79
at the tops of the
Himalayans to prison camps,
00:26:05.83\00:26:08.76
refugee camps, to brothels,
you know, it doesn't matter,
00:26:08.80\00:26:12.90
God wants every soul
with Him in the kingdom.
00:26:12.93\00:26:16.00
And so it's just
exciting to witness
00:26:16.04\00:26:19.21
how all these different ways,
00:26:19.24\00:26:20.68
all these different technologies
00:26:20.71\00:26:22.24
that God is bringing to
us in the forefront right now
00:26:22.28\00:26:24.68
at this end of time
00:26:24.71\00:26:26.55
and how we can use it in
every which way possible.
00:26:26.58\00:26:29.12
There are number of
places in the world,
00:26:29.15\00:26:30.49
John, that we're broadcasting,
where we're starting AWR,
00:26:30.52\00:26:34.12
Adventist World Radio Churches,
00:26:34.16\00:26:36.16
like you were
just down in Argentina.
00:26:36.19\00:26:38.53
There's an Adventist
World Radio Church there,
00:26:38.56\00:26:40.00
several of them.
00:26:40.03\00:26:41.36
And then in
Rwanda, we have one there,
00:26:41.40\00:26:42.73
a large Adventist
World Radio Church,
00:26:42.76\00:26:44.60
and you were
telling me that you heard
00:26:44.63\00:26:46.77
in the country of Madagascar.
00:26:46.80\00:26:48.77
Yes.
00:26:48.80\00:26:50.14
We have some there, how many...
00:26:50.17\00:26:51.51
Yes, this is very exciting,
00:26:51.54\00:26:52.87
and we cannot wait
to get more details.
00:26:52.91\00:26:54.64
But we'll give you a
little snippet of it.
00:26:54.68\00:26:56.68
We were excited to hear
00:26:56.71\00:26:58.05
that there are
40 churches started
00:26:58.08\00:27:00.88
because of listening
00:27:00.92\00:27:03.39
to Adventist
World Radio broadcast.
00:27:03.42\00:27:04.92
Amen. Amen.
00:27:04.95\00:27:06.29
In Madagascar. And
that's 40 AWR churches.
00:27:06.32\00:27:08.39
Yes. You got to say amen.
00:27:08.42\00:27:10.13
That's right.
00:27:10.16\00:27:11.79
That's beautiful.
00:27:11.83\00:27:13.19
And stay tuned for that
00:27:13.23\00:27:14.56
because we are going to go there
00:27:14.60\00:27:15.93
and film that story,
00:27:15.96\00:27:17.30
that'll be incredible
to share with the world.
00:27:17.33\00:27:18.67
Want to see
that definitely. Yes.
00:27:18.70\00:27:20.04
Do you need anybody else
to go to Madagascar with you?
00:27:20.07\00:27:21.84
Sure. We'll keep
you in mind, John.
00:27:21.87\00:27:23.20
You bet.
00:27:23.24\00:27:24.57
But I'll tell you,
when you think about
00:27:24.61\00:27:25.94
what's
happening, when you told me
00:27:25.97\00:27:27.31
about the story
about this young lady
00:27:27.34\00:27:28.68
whose life was sold,
00:27:28.71\00:27:30.31
what she did not know
00:27:30.35\00:27:31.68
that she was
already bought with a price.
00:27:31.71\00:27:33.11
Amen.
00:27:33.15\00:27:34.48
And I thought about that,
00:27:34.52\00:27:35.85
men purchasing
her and selling her,
00:27:35.88\00:27:37.22
well, she did not know
00:27:37.25\00:27:38.59
Christ Jesus had
already bought her with a price.
00:27:38.62\00:27:41.96
And now she's glorifying God
in her spirit and in her body
00:27:41.99\00:27:45.39
which now belong to Him.
00:27:45.43\00:27:46.76
Amen. What a transition.
00:27:46.80\00:27:48.73
You know, you see...
00:27:48.76\00:27:50.17
I was reading an
article just the other day
00:27:50.20\00:27:51.53
how so many of
the things that we do,
00:27:51.57\00:27:52.93
we do because we have
00:27:52.97\00:27:54.30
such a low sense
of our own value.
00:27:54.34\00:27:56.10
We're trying to
add value to the things
00:27:56.14\00:27:57.51
we do in our lives.
00:27:57.54\00:27:58.87
But what Adventist World
Radio is letting the world know
00:27:58.91\00:28:00.88
in so many different ways
00:28:00.91\00:28:02.24
is you are valuable
in the sight of God.
00:28:02.28\00:28:03.85
That's right, right. Absolutely.
00:28:03.88\00:28:05.21
Rwanda, in North
Korea, in the Congo,
00:28:05.25\00:28:07.78
and what other
places you have been...?
00:28:07.82\00:28:10.35
Well, you know, as you
know, a number of years ago,
00:28:10.39\00:28:12.92
we were together in
Zambia and living in Zambia
00:28:12.95\00:28:15.69
bringing those
churches and everything.
00:28:15.72\00:28:17.49
And now I think we have
100 churches with, I believe,
00:28:17.53\00:28:20.70
we have four brand new schools
to three primary schools.
00:28:20.73\00:28:24.23
God and McNeilus worked hard
00:28:24.27\00:28:25.60
on some of the
projects there with Maranatha,
00:28:25.63\00:28:27.90
and it's just
thrilling to see that happening,
00:28:27.94\00:28:30.27
and we're going back
to Zambia, continue to...
00:28:30.31\00:28:33.58
We're broadcasting
all across the country.
00:28:33.61\00:28:35.24
I think we have, what
is it, seven new towers,
00:28:35.28\00:28:38.61
future towers and radio stations
00:28:38.65\00:28:40.32
we're putting in Zambia.
00:28:40.35\00:28:41.68
I was just there, I
talked to the lady in charge
00:28:41.72\00:28:44.85
in the government and she
said, "How can I help you?"
00:28:44.89\00:28:46.72
I said I need licenses
00:28:46.76\00:28:48.29
for seven new radio
stations and towers.
00:28:48.32\00:28:50.06
She said, "I can do that."
00:28:50.09\00:28:51.79
Look at that, I mean
just lighting up the world,
00:28:51.83\00:28:53.90
just sending the
gospel everywhere.
00:28:53.93\00:28:55.53
So we're
broadcasting all across Lusaka,
00:28:55.56\00:28:57.53
all across southern Zambia,
00:28:57.57\00:28:59.23
down to Livingstone,
into Victoria Falls area.
00:28:59.27\00:29:01.67
Yes. I'm seeing
it right in my mind.
00:29:01.70\00:29:03.41
First time ever,
we're taking a hundred,
00:29:03.44\00:29:07.34
a hundred, a hundred Europeans
who have never preached before,
00:29:07.38\00:29:11.41
pastors and
laypeople to preach in Lusaka.
00:29:11.45\00:29:14.88
I talked to the pastors,
I was telling CA about this,
00:29:14.92\00:29:17.49
and I talked to the
pastors and they said,
00:29:17.52\00:29:19.02
"You know, could
we do 100 meetings?"
00:29:19.05\00:29:20.76
I said, "Sure".
00:29:20.79\00:29:22.12
I said, "You had 350 churches
here in town, in one town."
00:29:22.16\00:29:25.33
I said, "Can we do 350?"
00:29:25.36\00:29:27.66
They said, "Sure."
00:29:27.70\00:29:29.03
And I said, "Wow," I
said, "What would you think?"
00:29:29.06\00:29:32.00
And I said, "What about 400?"
They said, "No, we can do 500."
00:29:32.03\00:29:36.74
This is in one
city! One city alone.
00:29:36.77\00:29:39.31
One city, never
been done before.
00:29:39.34\00:29:40.78
That's amazing.
00:29:40.81\00:29:42.14
I thought that
176, we did something
00:29:42.18\00:29:44.08
not too long ago in Columbia,
00:29:44.11\00:29:45.78
and we had 176
preaching at the same time.
00:29:45.81\00:29:48.42
But I mean I'm
getting exciting, 500!
00:29:48.45\00:29:50.89
And then the Union
President goes out,
00:29:50.92\00:29:52.59
and they start talking together,
00:29:52.62\00:29:54.16
and they come back, he
comes back in and he says,
00:29:54.19\00:29:56.83
all the pastor said to me,
00:29:56.86\00:29:58.19
"Tell the Union President
00:29:58.23\00:29:59.56
that we will do a
thousand meetings."
00:29:59.59\00:30:01.50
And you know what?
00:30:01.53\00:30:02.86
There are people that
could be added to the kingdom,
00:30:02.90\00:30:04.97
they're larger than that
more people coming on that.
00:30:05.00\00:30:06.74
That's right. That's right.
00:30:06.77\00:30:08.10
So Sue was just there.
00:30:08.14\00:30:09.47
I was just there,
00:30:09.50\00:30:10.84
had a meeting with the
pastors and the leadership.
00:30:10.87\00:30:13.34
So excited, they
are just looking forward
00:30:13.38\00:30:16.88
to what God is going to do,
00:30:16.91\00:30:19.21
Zambia for Christ
they're calling it,
00:30:19.25\00:30:21.42
and we'll be
having it there in Lusaka,
00:30:21.45\00:30:23.59
we'll be having
meetings in Livingstone
00:30:23.62\00:30:25.45
right across the
border into Zimbabwe
00:30:25.49\00:30:27.79
at Victoria Falls.
00:30:27.82\00:30:29.42
They are gearing up
for this huge event,
00:30:29.46\00:30:32.49
and I just know
God is going to work
00:30:32.53\00:30:34.96
so many miracles through this,
00:30:35.00\00:30:37.47
and we'll be broadcasting ahead
00:30:37.50\00:30:39.63
and helping to do
some of the pre-work
00:30:39.67\00:30:42.60
all across the country
and into Victoria Falls.
00:30:42.64\00:30:45.17
Actually, Victoria Falls
has never used radio before.
00:30:45.21\00:30:48.58
And so they're really
excited about this opportunity
00:30:48.61\00:30:51.78
that we'll be
providing for them.
00:30:51.81\00:30:53.28
And we'll have a
permanent station
00:30:53.31\00:30:54.65
there in Livingstone.
00:30:54.68\00:30:56.52
Yes.
00:30:56.55\00:30:57.89
Zimbabwe has been
a little difficult.
00:30:57.92\00:30:59.25
We can't get a
license for there.
00:30:59.29\00:31:01.12
But we'll put a
powerful station in Livingstone,
00:31:01.16\00:31:03.93
right by the
Victoria Falls border
00:31:03.96\00:31:05.93
and we will hit
Botswana, we'll hit Namibia,
00:31:05.96\00:31:07.80
we'll hit Zimbabwe,
00:31:07.83\00:31:09.60
all those
countries in the whole area.
00:31:09.63\00:31:10.97
That's called strategy.
00:31:11.00\00:31:12.50
"You know, you
don't have to give me
00:31:12.53\00:31:13.87
a license over your fence,
00:31:13.90\00:31:15.24
I'll climb over
there with my radio."
00:31:15.27\00:31:16.60
That's right. I like that.
00:31:16.64\00:31:17.97
No walls, no borders.
00:31:18.01\00:31:19.34
No walls, no borders.
00:31:19.37\00:31:20.71
Talk about Palawan now.
00:31:20.74\00:31:22.78
What's happening there? Palawan.
00:31:22.81\00:31:24.21
Palawan. Did you want to talk?
00:31:24.25\00:31:25.68
Oh, I was just
going to say it's exciting
00:31:25.71\00:31:27.15
because we're
applying this same methodology
00:31:27.18\00:31:29.58
to these same, you know,
these different countries.
00:31:29.62\00:31:31.95
So we're broadcasting
several months in advance,
00:31:31.99\00:31:34.82
the laymen are
getting excited about this.
00:31:34.86\00:31:37.23
We're doing Bible
question of the day
00:31:37.26\00:31:39.63
on our radio broadcast.
00:31:39.66\00:31:41.03
And these are done
typically by laymen,
00:31:41.06\00:31:43.87
and these Bible
questions of the day,
00:31:43.90\00:31:45.87
you get the
audience participating,
00:31:45.90\00:31:47.37
the listeners calling
in, winning up a gift,
00:31:47.40\00:31:50.61
a Desire of Ages,
the Steps to Christ,
00:31:50.64\00:31:52.37
the Bible radio.
00:31:52.41\00:31:53.91
And we're going to apply
that that we did in Mindoro,
00:31:53.94\00:31:56.95
we're going to
apply it to Palawan,
00:31:56.98\00:31:59.11
and we're also
going to have more,
00:31:59.15\00:32:02.25
we have another
island there, Island of Verde
00:32:02.28\00:32:04.29
that we're
sending Bible workers too.
00:32:04.32\00:32:06.29
And that whole
area of the Philippines
00:32:06.32\00:32:08.06
is just really on fire
00:32:08.09\00:32:09.42
and it's just the
radio broadcasting,
00:32:09.46\00:32:12.69
that combination
with the laymen preaching
00:32:12.73\00:32:14.93
is just so powerful.
00:32:14.96\00:32:16.40
And when we were
there the last time,
00:32:16.43\00:32:19.43
we had 1,400
baptisms in the China Sea
00:32:19.47\00:32:22.80
just from that combination.
00:32:22.84\00:32:24.84
The Lord used it mightily.
00:32:24.87\00:32:26.37
So He'll do it
again with Palawan.
00:32:26.41\00:32:27.74
We had 90
stations all across Mindoro
00:32:27.78\00:32:29.11
and they were broadcasting daily
00:32:29.14\00:32:30.68
and they were doing
the question of the day.
00:32:30.71\00:32:32.65
The way this
worked is they said to me,
00:32:32.68\00:32:35.38
at first they said,
"It's not going to work."
00:32:35.42\00:32:37.25
Well, they actually were polite.
00:32:37.29\00:32:39.69
They had tried left.
00:32:39.72\00:32:42.19
They said it's
not going to work.
00:32:42.22\00:32:44.39
So they tried for several weeks,
00:32:44.43\00:32:45.86
nothing
happened, was it six weeks?
00:32:45.89\00:32:47.63
Three weeks. Three
weeks, nothing happened.
00:32:47.66\00:32:49.73
And so Robert Duley said,
00:32:49.76\00:32:51.67
"You know, we need to
try something different."
00:32:51.70\00:32:53.50
And so they did
the question of the day
00:32:53.54\00:32:55.87
and the way this would work,
like on Monday they would say,
00:32:55.90\00:32:59.04
"Okay, we're gonna have
the question of the day,
00:32:59.07\00:33:01.94
and we're going to give you..."
00:33:01.98\00:33:03.81
The question of the day is
00:33:03.85\00:33:05.18
what happens to
person when they die?
00:33:05.21\00:33:07.65
And then the next,
then they would speak on...
00:33:07.68\00:33:11.62
it's the other
way around, wasn't it?
00:33:11.65\00:33:13.39
The next day they
would ask the question
00:33:13.42\00:33:15.02
relating to the
topic the day before.
00:33:15.06\00:33:16.66
Right. Okay.
00:33:16.69\00:33:18.03
And then the first five people
who call it in will get a what?
00:33:18.06\00:33:21.26
A Bible, or a phone, or...
00:33:21.30\00:33:22.93
A small gift. A small gift.
00:33:22.96\00:33:24.77
And they were so
excited and all of a sudden
00:33:24.80\00:33:26.90
these people from the mountains
all started calling in.
00:33:26.94\00:33:28.97
We had people walk,
what was it 48 miles?
00:33:29.00\00:33:32.41
There was a group that walked
48 miles over the mountains
00:33:32.44\00:33:34.54
to be baptized.
00:33:34.58\00:33:36.44
Wow! Isn't that incredible?
00:33:36.48\00:33:37.81
We had whole
villages, almost entire villages
00:33:37.85\00:33:42.08
that were baptized
from listening to the radio,
00:33:42.12\00:33:44.99
doing the
broadcast, question of the day,
00:33:45.02\00:33:48.36
having reaping meetings.
00:33:48.39\00:33:50.49
Oh, it was incredible.
00:33:50.53\00:33:52.09
Was it 20
villages who contacted us?
00:33:52.13\00:33:54.20
Fifteen.
00:33:54.23\00:33:55.56
Fifteen
villages. Fifteen villages.
00:33:55.60\00:33:56.93
And I wanted to mention two.
00:33:56.97\00:33:58.47
You said the Island of Verde.
00:33:58.50\00:34:00.97
While we were there in Mindoro,
Robert Duley, you mentioned,
00:34:01.00\00:34:04.84
received a phone call.
00:34:04.87\00:34:06.27
It was the wife
of a village chief
00:34:06.31\00:34:09.91
in another island,
00:34:09.94\00:34:11.28
the Island of Verde
considered a dark island,
00:34:11.31\00:34:14.28
no Adventist presence there.
00:34:14.32\00:34:16.08
She said, "We're
hearing your broadcast
00:34:16.12\00:34:19.55
and can you send
someone over to teach us
00:34:19.59\00:34:22.79
about Jesus, about the Bible."
00:34:22.82\00:34:25.63
There's 10
villages on that island.
00:34:25.66\00:34:28.60
And so we're now in the
process of getting someone
00:34:28.63\00:34:30.90
to go share with them
00:34:30.93\00:34:32.27
and the interesting part was
00:34:32.30\00:34:34.40
our broadcast should
not have reached over there.
00:34:34.44\00:34:37.47
That far, yeah.
00:34:37.51\00:34:38.84
But I think angels or something
00:34:38.87\00:34:40.61
carried that
message over to them.
00:34:40.64\00:34:42.78
Amen. Just incredible.
00:34:42.81\00:34:44.88
Let me clarify a question today,
00:34:44.91\00:34:46.31
again, I messed that up.
00:34:46.35\00:34:48.15
What they'd do is
like on a Monday night,
00:34:48.18\00:34:49.78
they'll preach a sermon on what,
00:34:49.82\00:34:52.02
you know, on the
state of the dead.
00:34:52.05\00:34:53.59
And then the next night,
00:34:53.62\00:34:55.99
they come in and
they preach the sermon,
00:34:56.02\00:34:58.53
and then they say
the question today
00:34:58.56\00:34:59.93
is where do you go when you die?
00:34:59.96\00:35:01.36
And so people would
have to come the night before
00:35:01.40\00:35:04.33
or listen the night day
before, and taking notes,
00:35:04.37\00:35:06.74
and then they know
the question of the day.
00:35:06.77\00:35:09.07
So they were able
to get that. Yeah.
00:35:09.10\00:35:11.37
That's good. Yeah.
00:35:11.41\00:35:12.74
But, you know, when
you talk about the places
00:35:12.77\00:35:14.41
that have Adventist World Radio,
00:35:14.44\00:35:15.98
and I'm using
the word penetrating.
00:35:16.01\00:35:18.51
You know, wall
can't stop a radio signal.
00:35:18.55\00:35:20.95
It may be able to
stop a bullet or a missile.
00:35:20.98\00:35:23.52
But something more piercing than
00:35:23.55\00:35:25.35
even the most advanced
armor is the radio wave.
00:35:25.39\00:35:28.92
Yes, amen.
00:35:28.96\00:35:30.29
Unseen but very
vocal, very verbal.
00:35:30.33\00:35:34.56
And so let's talk
about Japan. Okay.
00:35:34.60\00:35:37.50
What's happening in Japan?
00:35:37.53\00:35:38.87
Well, right now
actually, we are broadcasting
00:35:38.90\00:35:42.94
all across Tokyo,
largest city in the world.
00:35:42.97\00:35:45.44
We're thrilled
about what is happening,
00:35:45.47\00:35:47.21
and we're using Peter
Landless, Dr. Landless,
00:35:47.24\00:35:49.11
his health messages,
00:35:49.14\00:35:50.48
and we're
broadcasting those on the radio,
00:35:50.51\00:35:52.51
and then people are
listening, and they'll be driven
00:35:52.55\00:35:54.88
then invited to
come to the churches.
00:35:54.92\00:35:58.29
At the churches then,
00:35:58.32\00:35:59.75
they'll be able to
have health seminars
00:35:59.79\00:36:02.72
and from there
they'll do a bridge seminar,
00:36:02.76\00:36:05.29
any health
principles in the holy writings,
00:36:05.33\00:36:07.73
and then another bridge seminar,
00:36:07.76\00:36:09.30
any prophecy in
the holy writings,
00:36:09.33\00:36:11.30
and they'll end up
in prophecy seminars.
00:36:11.33\00:36:14.97
It will end up by the
month of May this year
00:36:15.00\00:36:18.11
because of the
broadcast and other initiatives
00:36:18.14\00:36:21.28
will end up
having a hundred and...
00:36:21.31\00:36:23.31
Sixty seven.
00:36:23.35\00:36:24.68
Sixty seven
evangelistic meetings in Japan.
00:36:24.71\00:36:28.12
Never been done before.
00:36:28.15\00:36:30.29
And, you know, the groundwork
is what's barely key about it.
00:36:30.32\00:36:33.96
You know, the reaping,
one plants another water,
00:36:33.99\00:36:35.92
God gives you increase,
that's so nice about that
00:36:35.96\00:36:38.93
is while you're sitting here,
the seeds are being planted
00:36:38.96\00:36:42.66
through Adventist World Radio.
00:36:42.70\00:36:44.03
It's absolutely unbelievable
when you think about it though.
00:36:44.07\00:36:47.37
Japan never before has done
evangelism like this, never.
00:36:47.40\00:36:50.61
I could imagine that
but it's not really a place
00:36:50.64\00:36:52.64
open to standing
on the street corners
00:36:52.67\00:36:54.81
pep talk about Jesus, very...
00:36:54.84\00:36:56.21
But they need Him
too, and they need Him too,
00:36:56.24\00:36:58.71
and there they have that desire,
00:36:58.75\00:37:00.42
you know, they need
hope, they really need hope.
00:37:00.45\00:37:03.45
When we were
there, it was palatable.
00:37:03.49\00:37:05.72
Oh, I have to
tell you this one thing
00:37:05.75\00:37:07.26
just before we move on.
00:37:07.29\00:37:10.39
You know, this last year
00:37:10.43\00:37:12.76
we took Japanese
laypeople and pastors to Mindoro
00:37:12.79\00:37:15.90
to get them
excited about preaching,
00:37:15.93\00:37:18.60
and they did,
they have gone back,
00:37:18.63\00:37:20.00
carried that far back to Japan.
00:37:20.04\00:37:21.90
That's why they were
willing to do evangelism now.
00:37:21.94\00:37:25.01
So we thought what about China.
00:37:25.04\00:37:28.91
And so we have
friends working with us,
00:37:28.94\00:37:31.75
Louie Torres is working with us,
00:37:31.78\00:37:33.11
plus a pastor in
China is working with us.
00:37:33.15\00:37:36.79
We're going to take 30
young adults from China
00:37:36.82\00:37:43.43
to the Philippines to preach
00:37:43.46\00:37:45.23
their first evangelistic
meetings in English.
00:37:45.26\00:37:48.16
In English!
00:37:48.20\00:37:49.53
I would not have
guessed that one.
00:37:49.56\00:37:52.03
China to Philippines
to preach in English.
00:37:52.07\00:37:54.14
Visas back and forth between
China and the Philippines
00:37:54.17\00:37:57.24
are very easy.
00:37:57.27\00:37:58.61
So people can travel
back and forth easily.
00:37:58.64\00:38:00.44
And so we're going to
take these young people
00:38:00.48\00:38:03.01
who have never
done evangelism before
00:38:03.04\00:38:05.31
to the Philippines, to Mindoro.
00:38:05.35\00:38:07.88
They'll preach their
first meetings in English,
00:38:07.92\00:38:09.58
and then they have
agreed they'll go back home,
00:38:09.62\00:38:11.55
and do the same thing
in the little churches,
00:38:11.59\00:38:13.89
the home churches and things
00:38:13.92\00:38:15.26
back in Beijing, and
Shanghai, and all across China.
00:38:15.29\00:38:19.09
The gates of hell will
not prevail against it.
00:38:19.13\00:38:20.96
Isn't that
amazing. That's the church.
00:38:21.00\00:38:22.56
You know, I thought
I used to think that
00:38:22.60\00:38:24.13
that meant the gates
of hell are pushing us.
00:38:24.17\00:38:25.80
No, we're pushing
the gates of hell,
00:38:25.83\00:38:27.84
like a bulldozer of the gospel
and it cannot stop the gospel.
00:38:27.87\00:38:31.64
Praise the Lord for that.
00:38:31.67\00:38:33.07
Talk about India,
you have a video clip
00:38:33.11\00:38:34.48
so just set it up for me.
00:38:34.51\00:38:35.94
Yeah, India is
a difficult place.
00:38:35.98\00:38:38.38
We were there a few months ago,
and I'm going again shortly.
00:38:38.41\00:38:41.78
But when we were
there we heard about it.
00:38:41.82\00:38:44.49
You know, each state
is pretty independent.
00:38:44.52\00:38:46.82
Right.
00:38:46.86\00:38:48.19
And some are very, very
strongly against Christians.
00:38:48.22\00:38:51.43
And one of the
states in the north,
00:38:51.46\00:38:54.40
and one of the larger cities
they published in the paper.
00:38:54.43\00:38:57.20
They said, "We'll give
a half a million dollars
00:38:57.23\00:39:00.00
to anybody who
kills a Christian pastor."
00:39:00.04\00:39:03.94
Yeah.
00:39:03.97\00:39:05.31
So we had to be careful
00:39:05.34\00:39:06.68
but also we are
going into India next year,
00:39:06.71\00:39:11.91
just like we're Japan
this year, India next year.
00:39:11.95\00:39:13.95
We're working on...
00:39:13.98\00:39:15.32
And we just keep
rotating throughout the world,
00:39:15.35\00:39:16.69
different countries like this.
00:39:16.72\00:39:18.19
But in India, we intend
to do a lot of broadcasting
00:39:18.22\00:39:21.46
on the health
messages, driving people,
00:39:21.49\00:39:24.23
inviting people to
come to the churches
00:39:24.26\00:39:25.96
for health seminars
doing a bridge seminar then.
00:39:25.99\00:39:28.83
You see, you do
the health message
00:39:28.86\00:39:30.63
and you say at the
end on the health seminar
00:39:30.67\00:39:33.10
like a cooking
school, or reducing diabetes,
00:39:33.13\00:39:37.01
or whatever, they
have problems there too.
00:39:37.04\00:39:38.77
And you have a doctor
doing it or nurse doing it,
00:39:38.81\00:39:41.31
and then you ask the question,
00:39:41.34\00:39:42.68
are there any health principles
in any of the holy writings?
00:39:42.71\00:39:47.62
And so you look
at the holy writings
00:39:47.65\00:39:49.95
and you find out,
00:39:49.98\00:39:51.32
no, there's not
much except the Bible.
00:39:51.35\00:39:53.46
And then you go through that
and then you go to prophecy.
00:39:53.49\00:39:55.89
Any end time events in
any of the holy writings,
00:39:55.92\00:39:58.99
not much actually
nothing except the Bible.
00:39:59.03\00:40:01.33
Except the Bible. And
then you go to the Bible.
00:40:01.36\00:40:03.00
And so it's a bridge seminar
and you keep working with it.
00:40:03.03\00:40:05.43
So that's the
idea, to broadcast,
00:40:05.47\00:40:07.67
to the Godpods again.
00:40:07.70\00:40:09.04
We'll have a
1,000 Godpods there,
00:40:09.07\00:40:11.71
we're doing video projectors,
00:40:11.74\00:40:13.07
we're sending in
2,000 video projectors.
00:40:13.11\00:40:14.94
So we're pretty
excited about what's happening.
00:40:14.98\00:40:17.58
We are going to look
at this India video clip
00:40:17.61\00:40:19.01
and then you kind of
give us some filling on that
00:40:19.05\00:40:20.45
after that about
what's happening in India.
00:40:20.48\00:40:24.32
AWR is reaching India
00:40:24.35\00:40:25.89
by sharing the
biblical health message,
00:40:25.92\00:40:28.49
as it truly is the
right arm of the gospel.
00:40:28.52\00:40:32.33
This is the
AWR360 message for India.
00:40:32.36\00:40:36.33
We cannot publicly evangelize,
00:40:36.36\00:40:38.27
but we can fill the need
of people wanting to know ways
00:40:38.30\00:40:42.30
on how to live
healthier and live longer.
00:40:42.34\00:40:45.57
Once they have
applied these principles
00:40:45.61\00:40:47.21
and experience the difference,
many seek the source.
00:40:47.24\00:40:51.01
Missionaries and pastors
cannot easily come to preach.
00:40:51.05\00:40:54.42
It is up to the members
living there to get involved.
00:40:54.45\00:40:58.55
AWR360 held
rallies in multiple cities
00:40:58.59\00:41:01.72
to prepare the way,
00:41:01.76\00:41:03.22
while encouraging the members
00:41:03.26\00:41:04.66
to get involved with
India for Christ, 2019.
00:41:04.69\00:41:09.66
People came in
droves, in Calcutta
00:41:09.70\00:41:13.27
hundreds of people attended,
even the hallways were packed.
00:41:13.30\00:41:17.47
Pastor Duane invited the
people to sit on the stage
00:41:17.51\00:41:20.18
so that they could hear better.
00:41:20.21\00:41:21.91
All were eager
and willing to prepare
00:41:21.94\00:41:24.25
for the upcoming
evangelistic campaigns.
00:41:24.28\00:41:27.18
In fact, we heard testimonies
on how the members implemented
00:41:27.22\00:41:31.99
that each one, reach one.
00:41:32.02\00:41:34.42
They shared how
individual members
00:41:34.46\00:41:36.06
were bringing in
people from their community
00:41:36.09\00:41:37.86
to the church,
00:41:37.89\00:41:39.23
and how pastors
instructed each member
00:41:39.26\00:41:41.56
to write a name on a card
00:41:41.60\00:41:43.50
designating who would be
their goal for that year.
00:41:43.53\00:41:46.94
And it worked, resulting
in multiple churches forming
00:41:46.97\00:41:50.77
because of this project.
00:41:50.81\00:41:52.91
Praise the Lord.
00:41:52.94\00:41:54.61
God has a plan for
India using AWR360.
00:41:54.64\00:41:58.65
Our mission is to
hold 4,000 meetings
00:41:58.68\00:42:02.65
held by church
laypeople in 2019.
00:42:02.68\00:42:05.65
When you say no
walls, no borders,
00:42:12.06\00:42:14.76
I mean I'm looking at the
list North Korea, Rwanda, Congo,
00:42:14.80\00:42:17.90
Zambia, Palawan,
Verde, China, Japan, India.
00:42:17.93\00:42:24.67
I mean, is there a no
place that you don't feel
00:42:24.71\00:42:27.78
that there is a
wall or a border?
00:42:27.81\00:42:29.41
No, not at all.
00:42:29.44\00:42:30.78
You know, and
those difficult places
00:42:30.81\00:42:32.58
like North Korea
or some of Burma,
00:42:32.61\00:42:35.72
some of the
places in Middle East,
00:42:35.75\00:42:38.22
still we can go with it.
00:42:38.25\00:42:40.02
We broadcast...
00:42:40.06\00:42:41.39
God has to open the way
we have to tell those stories
00:42:41.42\00:42:43.83
that need to be told
00:42:43.86\00:42:45.19
so we have to
tell the story of Jesus
00:42:45.23\00:42:46.73
so people can make
decisions for Christ.
00:42:46.76\00:42:48.40
In India, we're sending
there 2,000 video projectors
00:42:48.43\00:42:52.07
so the churches...
00:42:52.10\00:42:53.60
There are 4,000 churches,
00:42:53.64\00:42:54.97
at least, 1,000
already have video projectors.
00:42:55.00\00:42:57.54
So they can do
the health seminar,
00:42:57.57\00:42:58.91
then they can do
the prophecy seminar.
00:42:58.94\00:43:00.98
So those are on their
way and we praise God,
00:43:01.01\00:43:03.61
we're about to
buy those out of China
00:43:03.65\00:43:04.98
at a very reasonable price.
00:43:05.01\00:43:06.35
Wow.
00:43:06.38\00:43:07.72
And when you
think about it, Cami,
00:43:07.75\00:43:09.92
just getting excited about
00:43:09.95\00:43:11.29
seeing what happens
in the people's lives
00:43:11.32\00:43:12.65
the transformation.
00:43:12.69\00:43:14.02
If anybody doubted
that God really exists,
00:43:14.06\00:43:16.69
just take them on a
mission trip with you.
00:43:16.73\00:43:18.59
And that's exactly right.
00:43:18.63\00:43:20.00
I mean, that
happened to me personally,
00:43:20.03\00:43:21.93
it's just getting involved
in evangelism changed my life.
00:43:21.96\00:43:25.83
But to witness it in others,
00:43:25.87\00:43:27.64
and actually get to do
this work around the world,
00:43:27.67\00:43:29.30
and see God's
mighty hand all over,
00:43:29.34\00:43:32.47
you know, in
every single continent.
00:43:32.51\00:43:33.84
It's just incredible.
00:43:33.88\00:43:35.94
My team and I were,
00:43:35.98\00:43:37.31
we were on our way to Argentina,
00:43:37.35\00:43:39.25
and we had certain
stories set in mind.
00:43:39.28\00:43:42.72
And, you know, God
loves to give us surprises,
00:43:42.75\00:43:46.35
and I just love
that He does that.
00:43:46.39\00:43:47.89
When we got there to Argentina,
we met, before the Sabbath,
00:43:47.92\00:43:54.36
two of our
subjects or the people
00:43:54.40\00:43:57.13
that were going to have
their testimonies recorded.
00:43:57.17\00:43:59.33
And they both share
00:43:59.37\00:44:00.70
that they were now
deacons in the church.
00:44:00.74\00:44:02.44
They've been through
some really hard core stuff,
00:44:02.47\00:44:05.21
and we have that on a
video at a later time for you.
00:44:05.24\00:44:07.58
But what the
point I want to make
00:44:07.61\00:44:10.85
is that when we went
to the Sabbath School
00:44:10.88\00:44:14.18
to view them and video
them doing Sabbath school,
00:44:14.22\00:44:18.85
we realized as we walked in...
00:44:18.89\00:44:20.92
And actually let's play the clip
00:44:20.96\00:44:22.29
because I'll tell you
00:44:22.32\00:44:23.66
while you see it
happening video clip.
00:44:23.69\00:44:25.39
Okay. Argentina? Yes.
00:44:25.43\00:44:27.46
So here I am
walking into the church
00:44:27.50\00:44:29.73
that we've been invited to.
00:44:29.76\00:44:31.43
And here's some of our subjects
that we're showing, you know,
00:44:31.47\00:44:35.80
they really had a struggle
and how Adventist World Radio
00:44:35.84\00:44:39.44
completely changed their lives,
00:44:39.47\00:44:40.94
there's so many
stories pouring in.
00:44:40.98\00:44:42.44
So we went to
record them, look there.
00:44:42.48\00:44:44.41
When I see that, I am told
00:44:44.45\00:44:46.98
that that is an
Adventist World Radio Church
00:44:47.02\00:44:49.68
that those 60 to 70
people all are there
00:44:49.72\00:44:52.82
because they've been
listening to the radio.
00:44:52.85\00:44:55.06
So we were like blown away,
00:44:55.09\00:44:56.79
we thought, "Well,
this is a story in itself."
00:44:56.83\00:44:59.76
And so here's
one of our subjects
00:44:59.79\00:45:02.90
giving his testimony
as he has become a deacon,
00:45:02.93\00:45:05.60
and what's amazing
is that the Sabbath
00:45:05.63\00:45:07.40
also included baptisms.
00:45:07.44\00:45:11.07
Two teenagers,
there you see them there,
00:45:11.11\00:45:12.74
they're beautiful, beautiful.
00:45:12.77\00:45:15.98
And it's going to make
me cry because you'll see
00:45:16.01\00:45:18.98
when these two adult children
00:45:19.01\00:45:21.98
and how do you
want to, a new adults.
00:45:22.02\00:45:24.69
And I think they are baptized,
00:45:24.72\00:45:26.96
the whole church is just crying
00:45:26.99\00:45:28.42
because they are
all so connected.
00:45:28.46\00:45:31.09
And we saw the young man
his name is Litaro, he's 17,
00:45:31.13\00:45:36.13
and this is him here,
and as he's being baptized,
00:45:36.16\00:45:39.53
as you can see everyone
is really becoming emotional,
00:45:39.57\00:45:44.57
and here's the reason why.
00:45:44.61\00:45:46.37
This young man at 17,
00:45:46.41\00:45:49.54
he went to his neighbors
00:45:49.58\00:45:52.48
who was an
Adventist World Radio listener
00:45:52.51\00:45:55.05
and he heard this radio message,
00:45:55.08\00:45:57.09
and he started coming
over to his neighbors a lot,
00:45:57.12\00:45:59.39
listening with him.
00:45:59.42\00:46:00.86
As soon as a group
of teenagers gathered
00:46:00.89\00:46:03.43
and were listening
to the radio programs.
00:46:03.46\00:46:05.83
Well, this didn't
make his dad very happy,
00:46:05.86\00:46:09.16
and his dad is a mechanic,
00:46:09.20\00:46:10.57
and Litaro works
in his mechanic shop.
00:46:10.60\00:46:13.64
He's hugging his mom there.
00:46:13.67\00:46:16.30
Works in his father's
shop, while on Sabbaths,
00:46:16.34\00:46:19.87
his dad would
make sure to give him
00:46:19.91\00:46:21.34
the longest list
of chores possible
00:46:21.38\00:46:23.35
so that he would
not make it to church.
00:46:23.38\00:46:25.38
That young man
at 17 years of age
00:46:25.41\00:46:27.45
would get up at
4:30 in the morning,
00:46:27.48\00:46:31.42
get all of the chores
done in that mechanic shop.
00:46:31.45\00:46:34.26
Meanwhile praying,
asking for forgiveness,
00:46:34.29\00:46:36.73
"Lord, I know I'm
working on Sabbath,
00:46:36.76\00:46:38.19
and I don't want to be.
00:46:38.23\00:46:39.56
But this is the only
way I can get to church."
00:46:39.59\00:46:41.70
And so he was so blessed
00:46:41.73\00:46:43.26
by he'd get to
church every Sabbath.
00:46:43.30\00:46:45.93
He would get his chores done.
00:46:45.97\00:46:47.64
Well, what's amazing is
that his mom is now studying,
00:46:47.67\00:46:51.31
his brother is now studying,
and his dad is softening.
00:46:51.34\00:46:55.24
So, you know, one man
standing up for Jesus,
00:46:55.28\00:46:59.31
you know, it's infectious.
00:46:59.35\00:47:00.88
And so what's wonderful to see
is that in a church like that,
00:47:00.92\00:47:05.75
you know, a radio listener,
00:47:05.79\00:47:07.12
an Adventist
World Radio listener,
00:47:07.16\00:47:08.62
yes, listens to the
message takes it in,
00:47:08.66\00:47:11.03
makes the
decision, and he's baptized
00:47:11.06\00:47:13.19
but it doesn't end there
00:47:13.23\00:47:14.56
because that person like Litaro,
00:47:14.60\00:47:16.46
who I believe
was a born evangelist
00:47:16.50\00:47:19.30
is now he takes the
message to the next person,
00:47:19.33\00:47:21.84
and the next, and the next.
00:47:21.87\00:47:23.30
So really this is called
from broadcast to baptism,
00:47:23.34\00:47:28.28
to baptism, to
baptism, to baptism.
00:47:28.31\00:47:31.75
It just keeps going. Echoing.
00:47:31.78\00:47:33.42
That's right.
00:47:33.45\00:47:34.78
And so Argentina was wonderful.
00:47:34.82\00:47:36.72
Stay tuned for more of
those stories because...
00:47:36.75\00:47:40.82
And you can find them on AWR.org
00:47:40.86\00:47:43.39
and see the
different testimonies
00:47:43.43\00:47:44.76
of how God is reaching
the people of Argentina.
00:47:44.79\00:47:47.86
How could we make an impact
00:47:47.90\00:47:49.76
in a sense of what can
our viewers and listeners
00:47:49.80\00:47:52.30
do to either contribute
00:47:52.33\00:47:54.04
or participate in the mission
of Adventist World Radio?
00:47:54.07\00:47:56.44
I think the main
thing is to pray.
00:47:56.47\00:47:58.67
We need prayer, you
know, reaching China,
00:47:58.71\00:48:02.58
reaching the Nepal,
reaching the Middle East,
00:48:02.61\00:48:05.81
all these, Russia,
the Stan countries,
00:48:05.85\00:48:08.62
all these difficult areas.
00:48:08.65\00:48:10.75
We're working, we
have people there,
00:48:10.79\00:48:12.35
and we're thinking, and
working in different ways.
00:48:12.39\00:48:14.49
But pray, the Lord will give us
new ideas through the internet
00:48:14.52\00:48:19.06
digital evangelism
is really incredible.
00:48:19.09\00:48:22.46
We're starting
this new digital center
00:48:22.50\00:48:24.33
for evangelism in
Manila in the Philippines.
00:48:24.37\00:48:27.47
Now pray for that
that it would go well.
00:48:27.50\00:48:28.87
And we want to have, you know,
00:48:28.90\00:48:30.67
it'll help people connect
00:48:30.71\00:48:32.17
immediately when
they have questions,
00:48:32.21\00:48:34.11
when they want
to do Bible studies,
00:48:34.14\00:48:35.48
and help them
connect through prayer,
00:48:35.51\00:48:36.85
and then to the churches
00:48:36.88\00:48:38.21
but pray that the
Lord will help us.
00:48:38.25\00:48:40.02
And then also go on
the website, AWR.org?
00:48:40.05\00:48:42.68
Yeah, we'll give that
information in just moment.
00:48:42.72\00:48:44.12
Yeah, and look on that.
00:48:44.15\00:48:45.99
And, you know, we
covet your interest,
00:48:46.02\00:48:50.16
and your prayers,
and working together,
00:48:50.19\00:48:52.46
partner with us.
00:48:52.49\00:48:53.83
I was just thinking,
00:48:53.86\00:48:55.70
people that are
watching right now
00:48:55.73\00:48:57.17
are probably
loving these stories.
00:48:57.20\00:48:59.00
I know, I love the stories,
00:48:59.03\00:49:01.17
how can you get these

inspiring stories
month after month.
00:49:23.66\00:49:26.66
Yeah, we couldn't
do what we're doing
00:49:26.70\00:49:28.26
without the
support of our donors.
00:49:28.30\00:49:29.93
It's all because of them.
00:49:29.96\00:49:31.30
And pray for us as we travel,
00:49:31.33\00:49:32.67
we have a wonderful
team, fantastic people.
00:49:32.70\00:49:34.20
I know and you're
going into some areas
00:49:34.24\00:49:35.57
that are sometimes
not that welcoming.
00:49:35.60\00:49:37.67
You know, when you talked about
00:49:37.71\00:49:39.04
half a million
dollars to kill a preacher.
00:49:39.07\00:49:40.44
Yeah.
00:49:40.48\00:49:41.81
We were just there
00:49:41.84\00:49:43.18
and Cami's
leaving here next week.
00:49:43.21\00:49:44.98
She's going on a long
trip, two weeks from now,
00:49:45.01\00:49:46.92
Sue, and I, and Kathy
00:49:46.95\00:49:48.28
are going on a long
trip around the world.
00:49:48.32\00:49:50.25
You know, and
it's just reaching out,
00:49:50.29\00:49:51.95
and working with these
people making things happen.
00:49:51.99\00:49:55.76
We love the boots
on the ground thing
00:49:55.79\00:49:57.53
just like you guys.
00:49:57.56\00:49:59.09
It's fun to be out in
the field with the people,
00:49:59.13\00:50:01.40
you know, the
office work is great
00:50:01.43\00:50:02.76
and dreaming what can happen,
00:50:02.80\00:50:05.00
what we need to
make it happen as well.
00:50:05.03\00:50:06.37
I think more church members
00:50:06.40\00:50:07.74
will get
excited about the gospel
00:50:07.77\00:50:09.10
if they put the
boots on the ground,
00:50:09.14\00:50:10.47
to go to places that don't
have the advantages we have
00:50:10.51\00:50:12.11
that we take for granted.
00:50:12.14\00:50:13.48
You know, we're
surrounded by media
00:50:13.51\00:50:15.34
but so often media is used
to pull us away from Christ,
00:50:15.38\00:50:17.78
not to pull us to Him.
00:50:17.81\00:50:19.31
And as the social
media outreach coordinator,
00:50:19.35\00:50:22.78
Sue, you think of
all these creative ways
00:50:22.82\00:50:24.82
and you wake up
in the morning think,
00:50:24.85\00:50:26.19
what else can we do today?
00:50:26.22\00:50:27.72
And so how does
that fire you up?
00:50:27.76\00:50:29.09
I think that's all
of our driving passion.
00:50:29.12\00:50:31.03
You know, that's what
gets us up in the morning.
00:50:31.06\00:50:32.89
What can we do
for the Lord today,
00:50:32.93\00:50:35.23
how can we make a difference,
00:50:35.26\00:50:36.60
how can we reach one
more just one more soul today.
00:50:36.63\00:50:40.87
And just before
you chime in, Cami,
00:50:40.90\00:50:43.64
I want to make
sure that our listeners
