Thank you for having me. 03:12 It's an honor to be here. 03:14 My title is Vice President 03:15 for Advancement with Adventist World Radio. 03:18 And I love what I do to represent a ministry 03:22 that goes wherever air goes is absolutely like limitless. 03:27 And what we're doing with the projects coming up 03:31 is so exciting 03:32 and we're glad to be here to share that with you today. 03:34 I like that description, 03:36 a ministry that goes wherever air is. 03:37 That's right. That's right. 03:39 Because the gospel... 03:41 In this case, you could say flying in the midst of heaven, 03:44 really Adventist World Radio. 03:46 In a nutshell, kind of tell us a little bit about 03:48 Adventist World Radio 03:49 'cause some of our listeners and viewers might be saying, 03:51 "I don't even know what that is." 03:52 Sure. We started in 1971. 03:54 It was Elder Wilson actually, 03:56 Neal Wilson, the senior 03:58 who had a vision to reach the world 04:00 through shortwave radio. 04:01 We started in Portugal and we've been broadcasting 04:04 from Guam and Portugal, and other eight locations, 04:07 shortwave around the world. 04:08 We also have a thousand AM/FM 04:10 and internet stations around the world. 04:12 So we reach the world through radio and internet. 04:16 We're branching out into more internet things, 04:18 we'll be talking about cell phone evangelism 04:20 and YouTube evangelism, 04:22 and any digital way that we can reach the world. 04:26 We're excited about that. 04:27 We're starting a center 04:29 for digital evangelism in the Philippines. 04:31 So we can take all the digital interest 04:33 from the Adventist Church and we can get back to them 04:36 within 10 minutes and connect them 04:38 through the cloud, through the internet 04:39 to prayer and to Bible studies 04:42 and then finally to a local church, and baptism. 04:45 So we're excited about what can happen with AWR. 04:48 When you talk about cloud base, you know, we can now say, 04:51 "Behold, He cometh with clouds" almost in the technical sense, 04:54 that the gospel is going everywhere 04:56 through cloud-based internet protocols 04:58 and the best time to use it is now while we can. 05:01 Absolutely, absolutely. 05:02 You know, I'm familiar with the fact 05:04 that there are challenges around our world, 05:06 but one of the places where it's really on the scope 05:09 of the political stage is North Korea. 05:13 Yet, Adventist World Radio 05:14 is actively working even in that area. 05:16 We are, we are. Let's talk about that. 05:18 Yeah, we have three... 05:20 We're just adding actually another shortwave broadcast 05:22 and an FM broadcast, 05:24 we'll talk about that in a few minutes. 05:25 But just before Christmas, 05:27 it was seven degrees Fahrenheit, cold. 05:31 We're on the DMZ 05:33 and we're talking about a story, 05:35 about what happened, and it's a fantastic story. 05:38 Cami, just... It is. 05:39 Yeah, when we heard of this story, 05:41 we knew we had to go and film it. 05:43 And what's incredible is that God connected us 05:46 with the actual pastor so we could hear... 05:49 He was a missionary there that is in this story. 05:51 We could hear from his words 05:52 exactly how these scenes happened. 05:54 So we were able to recreate it in such a way 05:57 that we can share it with you now and I think you... 06:01 I know it impacts my heart every time we see it so... 06:04 Okay. Well, let's go to that video, North Korea. 06:06 Yes. 06:10 Surrounded in a culture that is defined 06:12 as strong and defiant, 06:14 rich and ancient customs and traditions, 06:17 these beautiful people live in harmony and freedom. 06:21 It is difficult to imagine that only miles from here 06:23 is one of the most dangerous places on earth, 06:26 a land where missionaries cannot go. 06:31 What I love about Adventist World Radio 06:33 is that it is The Ministry that goes wherever air goes. 06:58 AWR began in 1971 07:01 with the mission to spread the gospel message 07:03 to hard-to-reach places. 07:07 Nearly 50 years later, this is still our mission. 07:12 Broadcasting from strategic locations 07:15 around the globe, AWR can be heard 07:17 in over 100 languages via shortwave radio 07:20 with a special focus on the 10/40 window. 07:24 Our network also includes over a thousand FM, AM, 07:27 DAB, and internet stations. 07:31 AWR is expanding to all media platforms 07:33 such as Facebook Audio, YouTube, 07:36 and AWR cell phone evangelism. 07:40 Our motto, no walls, no borders, no limits. 07:44 This year, our special focus is North Korea. 07:50 Home to 25 million people, 07:51 the country right behind me hardly needs an introduction, 07:54 but behind the political military headlines 07:57 that reach our shores, we can only imagine 07:59 how the millions of common North Koreans 08:02 are starving for hope, truth, and a better life, 08:05 like many other radio programs in North Korea, 08:08 our AWR broadcasts have often been jammed. 08:13 We recently began a new high-power AM broadcast 08:17 into North Korea from Mongolia. 08:19 And we are so excited for its success 08:21 at touching more lives than ever. 08:23 Only a handful of stories from North Korea make it out, 08:27 but the few that do spur us on, the following is one of them. 08:40 One night at my church, 08:42 an unfamiliar woman entered and sat near the back. 08:45 Her face boar hard lines hiding her youth. 08:49 I wondered who she was. 08:52 This stranger sat alone on a pew 08:55 and after everyone had left, the pastor joined her. 08:59 "I escaped North Korea," she admitted. 09:03 "And I'm not safe here in China either, 09:07 but I have one request," she said. 09:11 "Will you baptize me?" 09:16 "Do you even know what baptism means?" 09:18 I questioned. 09:20 "Yes." 09:22 Was her resolute response. 09:24 "I learned about Jesus through the radio." 09:33 While in hiding, this dear woman found a radio. 09:37 And tuning had stopped 09:38 when she heard bits 09:40 of the familiar Korean language. 09:43 It was the voice of hope through Adventist World Radio. 09:48 This discovery soon turned her loneliness and fear 09:52 into courage and hope as she learned about the one 09:55 who left all and died for her salvation. 09:59 A longing was born in her heart 10:01 to one day go back and share what she was learning 10:04 with her family and friends in North Korea. 10:09 We studied the Bible together for one week 10:11 and she soaked up every word. 10:14 You could feel the Holy Spirit's presence 10:17 in the room. 10:20 After this week of studying, a secret baptism was held. 10:24 All the doors and windows were closed, 10:26 and everyone's saying hymn softly 10:29 so as not to be heard. 10:31 And in a lonely bathtub, 10:33 this North Korean lady was baptized. 10:40 With tear-stained cheeks and joyous eyes, 10:43 she declared her allegiance to God alone. 10:49 After her baptism, 10:50 she expressed her desire for freedom 10:52 and the ability to study the Bible 10:55 at the Adventist University in South Korea. 10:58 She set off on foot that very night. 11:08 Sometime later, I received a phone call. 11:11 The voice on the other line said in a whisper, 11:14 "I have safely arrived to the border. 11:17 Tonight is the night. 11:18 Please, pray for me." 11:21 All I could think about 11:22 were the eight strands of barbed wire. 11:25 Would she make it? 11:29 Unfortunately, she did not cross 11:32 the border that night. 11:33 But was found by Chinese soldiers 11:36 who sent her back to her country of birth, 11:39 where she was executed. 11:43 I was so saddened to receive this news. 11:46 I would never see those joyful eyes again. 11:51 I remember what she had told me, 11:53 "Even if I'm captured, 11:56 I will die with the hope of salvation." 12:01 She sought freedom. 12:03 And what the North Korean soldiers 12:05 did not realize is, 12:07 she found it, 12:10 true freedom in Jesus Christ, 12:14 and no one could take this from her. 12:22 There are many others who are also seeking freedom. 12:26 Will you join us in setting the captives free? 12:29 By God's grace, with your support, 12:32 AWR will fulfill this dear woman's dream 12:35 to tell the people of North Korea 12:37 about Jesus soon coming. 12:39 From broadcast to baptism, this is AWR360. 12:57 Wow. 12:59 I have to gain my composure as I looked at that video. 13:03 Being the host, you can't tune back in to me 13:05 with tears running down my eyes but believe me they are there. 13:09 That's the power of radio. 13:11 No walls, no borders, 13:14 and there's one precious soul 13:17 waiting for the coming of the Lord. 13:19 Because of the diligent labor of a message 13:22 that penetrated places of darkness 13:25 and there are still many more in the... 13:27 6/80, 6/40? 13:29 Yeah. The 6/40 window. 13:31 10/40. Yeah. 13:32 The 10/40 window. Yeah, yeah. 13:34 But wow, you know, this is... 13:36 You can't watch that without being moved. 13:38 Yeah, that's right. Somebody say something. 13:41 I'm at a loss for words here. 13:43 The pastor talked to us when we were there in December. 13:46 And it was incredible 13:47 as he recounted what had happened. 13:49 Her desire was to study what we believed 13:52 after she got to South Korea and then go back, 13:54 swim the river again and go back to North Korea 13:58 to share her faith about Jesus with her friends and family. 14:03 The pastor when he told us the story, 14:04 he started to cry again and he said, 14:06 "I just kept remembering when I baptized her 14:09 and I brought her up," when he got that phone call 14:11 then that she was shot and killed, 14:12 he said I kept remembering, 14:14 trying to wipe the tears from her eyes 14:16 because she kept crying 14:17 because she was so thankful to be baptized. 14:19 Wow. 14:21 You know, what that brings to mind 14:22 is the moment which is coming soon. 14:24 We're in heaven. 14:26 We are gonna say to our angels, "Please find her, 14:29 we have to tell her something." 14:31 And they're gonna find her, and we get to say to her, 14:34 "AWR took on your message 14:36 and told the whole world your testimony. 14:38 What you did was so courageous, and it spread around the world, 14:42 and you were a witness to others." 14:44 And that your story was... 14:46 That's right. So we have taken that mission. 14:48 Well, that's our mission to tell the world. 14:49 And tell her people in North Korea. 14:51 Yeah, her voice has not been silenced. 14:52 Right. That's right. 14:54 You know, it goes on. 14:55 Her voice has not been silenced. 14:57 You remind me when Jesus said, 14:58 "Wherever the gospel is preached... 14:59 this woman will be mentioned." 15:01 Yeah. Amen. 15:02 And that's what Adventist World Radio has taken on. 15:03 That's right. 15:05 I'll tell you, it's hard to look at that. 15:07 Sue, you're captured like I am... 15:09 it's hard to look at that. 15:10 It's very moving. 15:12 I mean, it made me think, 15:14 "What are we doing to sacrifice for the gospel?" 15:17 You know, here in North America, 15:19 here where it's easy, 15:21 you know, "what are we doing?" 15:23 This is our motivation really to tell everyone 15:28 in every manner available to us. 15:31 Spread the gospel to them 15:32 because they need hope, they need hope. 15:36 This is a dying world, and we're running out of time. 15:41 You know, the text in the Bible, 15:42 "Blessed are the dead, who die in the Lord. 15:44 Precious in the sight of the Lord 15:46 is the death of His saints." 15:48 And she's going to come forth, 15:52 no more bullet wounds 15:54 and rejoicing, and how amazing it is, 15:57 you know, as you listen and watch your program, 15:58 you might be in your car or you might be at home 16:00 watching this broadcast. 16:02 But truly, what we talked about here today 16:04 is Adventist World Radio, 3ABN, 16:06 and a number of other ministries 16:08 are really thinking about people that are behind walls, 16:12 that have never heard the name Jesus. 16:14 That's right. 16:15 And the enemy is so determined 16:17 to shut out the glory of who Jesus is. 16:20 But what he cannot do is take it from her heart. 16:23 You know, the Bible says, "Do not fear those 16:25 who are able to kill the body." 16:27 Because when she comes forth 16:28 on that glorious resurrection morning, 16:30 she'll come forth with the knowledge 16:31 of the last thing, "I gave my life to Jesus 16:33 and here I am in eternity." 16:35 Amen. Wow, what a witness. 16:37 But North Korea is one of the places, but there are... 16:39 What about Rwanda? 16:41 Let's talk about Rwanda for a minute. 16:42 You know, Rwanda, there are too... 16:44 We'll, you know, that's lift up the trumpet 16:45 in loud that it rings. 16:46 So we broadcast across Rwanda. 16:48 And not too long ago, 16:49 we had a lot of meetings over 2,000 across Rwanda, 16:52 and 100,000 people first time in the history of the church 16:56 had been baptized, over 100,000 people. 16:58 Unbelievable. 16:59 But to reach them, we need... 17:01 We thought, you know, what we need to do 17:02 to keep connections with them 17:05 is to have better radio coverage. 17:07 And so we voted right away, AWR did, 17:09 to put a half a million dollars into towers in Rwanda 17:13 to cover the whole country plus the neighboring countries, 17:16 parts of them as well. 17:18 And, Sue, you were just there. 17:19 I was just there, 17:20 and there's really some exciting work. 17:22 And talking about needing hope, while we were in Rwanda... 17:26 And we'll show you a little video clip here 17:28 in just a moment. 17:30 While we were there, we had the opportunity 17:32 to visit one of the refugee camps there. 17:35 And if my memory serves me right, 17:38 there was 54,200 refugees in that camp. 17:43 And we're thinking how... 17:45 And there's many of these camps all across the country. 17:48 How can we reach them besides the radio? 17:52 You know, you can't get in these refugees' camps. 17:56 We had to have government permission to get inside 17:58 which we were able to. 18:00 And how can we work? 18:02 We can't send a preacher in there as well. 18:05 And so... 18:07 But there are Seventh-day Adventists in there. 18:08 We can help equip the Seventh-day Adventists 18:12 that are in this camp to reach the people, 18:15 the rest of the people. 18:16 And so besides broadcasting across that country, 18:20 which those towers are gonna broadcast 18:22 into all the neighboring countries as well. 18:26 But we are going to be giving them Godpods, 18:30 these little audio players that they can use for ministry. 18:34 And why don't we roll this video clip 18:36 now about Rwanda. 18:38 You'll see the towers, the one in Kigali, 18:41 and I'll just talk over it while it's playing. 18:44 The one in Kigali, we had a smaller one, 18:47 and it's 30 meters, 18:49 and we just put up a larger one. 18:51 This is a larger one you're looking at here 18:54 and it's 71 meters. 18:56 So more than double the size. 18:59 And so this is going to be a phenomenal reach. 19:03 You can see the two towers there, 19:04 the small one on the right, the larger one on the left. 19:07 This is the station there in Kigali, 19:10 and that's broadcasting, 19:12 and the radio station manager there. 19:15 And oh, he's on fire. 19:18 Here's in the refugee camp, 19:19 I was giving one of the Godpods. 19:22 And this is Mahama Refugee Camp here 19:26 that we were able to go into. 19:28 Imagine the hope... 19:30 Those are refugee houses? 19:31 These are refugee houses, 19:33 54,200 people live in this camp. 19:37 And can you imagine the hope that's needed there? 19:40 Yeah. 19:41 What a privilege we have to serve the people 19:44 there in Rwanda. 19:46 Amen. 19:47 It's amazing that they put all those houses up. 19:49 I was expecting to see like tents, 19:52 and blue tarp, and all that but... 19:53 This is actually what I was told, 19:55 the nicest refugee camp in Rwanda. 19:59 The others have the tents and the tarps. 20:01 Wow. 20:02 Now the Godpods are so important... 20:04 I was gonna talk about that. 20:05 You know, we were paying about $38 a piece for them, 20:07 having to made in China. 20:09 Then we found another source, 20:10 we're getting it for $18, which is wonderful. 20:13 But now we have found another source for $10 a piece. 20:16 So we would like to have, 20:18 you know, tens of thousands of those 20:19 to go to all across Rwanda, to these refugee camps. 20:22 I was just in MENA, in the Middle East, 20:24 our headquarter is there. 20:26 And they said, "This is the best way to reach, 20:29 a lot of these very difficult ways, 20:31 places to reach there in the MENA area 20:34 in the Middle East." 20:35 And they said, "We could use a hundred thousand of them." 20:38 So we're praying that we can put that together 20:40 and reach out to MENA 20:42 with a hundred thousand Godpods. 20:44 Now what actually is on the Godpods? 20:46 Is it a receiving of broadcast? 20:47 Whatever we want, whatever we want. 20:49 So you could load it in? 20:50 Yeah, and what you can do, 20:51 like in this very difficult areas, 20:53 is you get the Godpods in first with not much on them, 20:56 maybe some music, 20:57 or maybe a language program, or something. 20:59 And then they had little cards that... 21:01 Oh! 21:03 So you can get those in separately 21:05 and you can put Bible on them, you can put Bible study, 21:07 you can put prophecy, you can put health message. 21:09 Okay. 21:10 So it'll pay me but maybe like an SD card, a mini SD card... 21:12 It is an SD card, that's what goes in. 21:14 And then you can load it as big as you want it, 21:16 put as much as you want to on it, 21:18 and then you get them separately, 21:19 and then you can put them together, 21:20 and then people can listen to them. 21:22 You know, we're using these Godpods 21:24 not only in these other countries 21:26 but right here in North America. 21:29 We were able to partner 21:31 with Your Best Pathway to Health. 21:33 And in the City of Phoenix, 21:36 because they have a lot of refugees there, 21:39 we thought how can we reach out to the refugees 21:42 right here in North America. 21:43 And so we were able to take some Godpods 21:47 to the Your Best Pathway to Health. 21:51 And they will be distributed 21:52 to these different refugee groups. 21:54 And so they are gonna be learning the gospel 21:56 in their own languages right here in North America, 21:59 which then they can share with their family back home 22:02 in their respective countries. 22:04 Like the Ethiopian Unicorn as way back. 22:05 That's right. 22:07 You know, Lord sends out Phillip, 22:09 engages him, and he goes back to Ethiopia. 22:10 Right. Absolutely. 22:12 You know, this is an amazing thing 22:13 because we talk about technology, 22:14 and I like the term Godpod. 22:16 But what is, in fact, happening, there was a time, 22:19 you know, we go back to the Commodore 64, 22:22 I'm old enough to remember that, 22:24 but still young enough not to forget that memory. 22:27 But there was only like 64 kilobytes, 22:30 and I remember this big floppy disk, 22:32 and they say that's all the storage you'll need. 22:33 But nowadays, there's something 22:35 just about the size of your fingernail, 22:37 you can get about 128 gigabytes of storage. 22:41 And can you imagine, I'm sure you are imagining 22:44 how much you can get video, if it plays video or audio 22:47 if it plays audio alone. 22:48 Yeah. That's a lot of evangelism. 22:50 Right. 22:51 And so how do you get these... 22:53 You don't have to tell me specifically 22:54 but when you get the Godpods there, 22:56 then you have ways of getting the material to them 22:57 to put on the Godpod. 22:59 Yeah, yeah. That's phenomenal. 23:00 Yeah, yeah, we can't tell you if it's... 23:02 Right, exactly that's why I chose not to ask, 23:04 I figured this is an undercover operation. 23:07 Yeah. It is. 23:09 There are ways, there are ways. 23:10 This brings to mind another exciting story. 23:13 Duane, you have spent a lot of time in Africa. 23:16 And we had an exciting story come to us, 23:18 but why don't you go ahead and start your... 23:19 We were missionaries in Africa 23:21 and for a long time, almost 10 years. 23:23 And I was up in Kinshasa, 23:25 the capital of the Congo, Zaire then. 23:27 And, you know, the Congress been amazing 23:28 in the last few years, you know, it's incredible. 23:33 They don't know how many people have died there 23:34 but it's unbelievable. 23:36 We're still having problems 23:37 but this is back a few years ago. 23:39 And we're broadcasting there now, a shortwave. 23:42 But I was in Kinshasa, and it was early morning, 23:44 and I came down out of the hotel, 23:46 I was gonna go to the airport. 23:47 And all of a sudden, 23:49 a pretty young lady comes up to me. 23:51 And she says, "Have you slept?" 23:54 Oh yeah, I just got up. 23:56 "No, no, no," she said, "Have you slept with a girl?" 24:00 And I said, "Listen, I'm a missionary." 24:02 And I said, "Yeah, I'll pray for you 24:04 but no, this is not..." 24:06 So I talked to her something about Jesus, 24:08 and then she left. 24:09 And then, just recently, Cami... 24:12 Yeah, and, you know, I'm sure you were thinking, 24:14 "Oh, how could I reach such a person with the gospel?" 24:17 And so we have a prime story 24:18 that has just come in the last few months here, 24:21 of this young woman who in the Congo 24:24 was coerced by a man to come out of her village 24:29 and go into the city where she could make money, 24:31 and send some money back to her family, 24:33 and a better life. 24:35 Well, of course, this is not what happened. 24:38 This man actually sold her on an hourly basis. 24:44 And so I don't know how to express... 24:48 Well, prostitution. Thank you. 24:50 She was a prostitute and she was, 24:53 you know, this is not what she was expecting, 24:55 and this became very difficult. 24:57 And this man, you know, at one point said, 25:00 "I don't have the money, your portion to pay you." 25:02 Like he had already spent it on himself or whatever, 25:05 "I don't have money to pay you 25:07 but you know, I do have this shortwave radio. 25:09 I could just give you. 25:10 I'm gonna give that to you instead paying you." 25:12 And she goes, "I don't, I need the money." 25:14 And, you know, "I'm not interested." 25:16 "Well, either take it or leave it". 25:17 So she's says, "Okay." 25:19 So she takes the radio. 25:20 She goes home, 25:21 and she starts fiddling around with the radio. 25:23 She heard this beautiful music that brought peace to her soul. 25:27 And she just started listening and listening. 25:30 A long story short, 25:32 she connected, it was Adventist World Radio. 25:35 And what a gift, huh, the shortwave radio. 25:38 And she connected with Adventist World Radio, 25:41 rode into the local station there, 25:44 and found the nearest church. 25:45 That church family, as we all should, took her in 25:49 and said, "How can we help you? 25:51 What can we do?" 25:52 In such a way, they actually got her away from that man, 25:55 and so she was baptized just shortly, 25:58 what, a month ago? 25:59 Amen. Amen. 26:00 So God is, you know, reaching people 26:05 at the tops of the Himalayans to prison camps, 26:08 refugee camps, to brothels, you know, it doesn't matter, 26:12 God wants every soul with Him in the kingdom. 26:16 And so it's just exciting to witness 26:19 how all these different ways, 26:20 all these different technologies 26:22 that God is bringing to us in the forefront right now 26:24 at this end of time 26:26 and how we can use it in every which way possible. 26:29 There are number of places in the world, 26:30 John, that we're broadcasting, where we're starting AWR, 26:34 Adventist World Radio Churches, 26:36 like you were just down in Argentina. 26:38 There's an Adventist World Radio Church there, 26:40 several of them. 26:41 And then in Rwanda, we have one there, 26:42 a large Adventist World Radio Church, 26:44 and you were telling me that you heard 26:46 in the country of Madagascar. 26:48 Yes. 26:50 We have some there, how many... 26:51 Yes, this is very exciting, 26:52 and we cannot wait to get more details. 26:54 But we'll give you a little snippet of it. 26:56 We were excited to hear 26:58 that there are 40 churches started 27:00 because of listening 27:03 to Adventist World Radio broadcast. 27:04 Amen. Amen. 27:06 In Madagascar. And that's 40 AWR churches. 27:08 Yes. You got to say amen. 27:10 That's right. 27:11 That's beautiful. 27:13 And stay tuned for that 27:14 because we are going to go there 27:15 and film that story, 27:17 that'll be incredible to share with the world. 27:18 Want to see that definitely. Yes. 27:20 Do you need anybody else to go to Madagascar with you? 27:21 Sure. We'll keep you in mind, John. 27:23 You bet. 27:24 But I'll tell you, when you think about 27:25 what's happening, when you told me 27:27 about the story about this young lady 27:28 whose life was sold, 27:30 what she did not know 27:31 that she was already bought with a price. 27:33 Amen. 27:34 And I thought about that, 27:35 men purchasing her and selling her, 27:37 well, she did not know 27:38 Christ Jesus had already bought her with a price. 27:41 And now she's glorifying God in her spirit and in her body 27:45 which now belong to Him. 27:46 Amen. What a transition. 27:48 You know, you see... 27:50 I was reading an article just the other day 27:51 how so many of the things that we do, 27:52 we do because we have 27:54 such a low sense of our own value. 27:56 We're trying to add value to the things 27:57 we do in our lives. 27:58 But what Adventist World Radio is letting the world know 28:00 in so many different ways 28:02 is you are valuable in the sight of God. 28:03 That's right, right. Absolutely. 28:05 Rwanda, in North Korea, in the Congo, 28:07 and what other places you have been...? 28:10 Well, you know, as you know, a number of years ago, 28:12 we were together in Zambia and living in Zambia 28:15 bringing those churches and everything. 28:17 And now I think we have 100 churches with, I believe, 28:20 we have four brand new schools to three primary schools. 28:24 God and McNeilus worked hard 28:25 on some of the projects there with Maranatha, 28:27 and it's just thrilling to see that happening, 28:30 and we're going back to Zambia, continue to... 28:33 We're broadcasting all across the country. 28:35 I think we have, what is it, seven new towers, 28:38 future towers and radio stations 28:40 we're putting in Zambia. 28:41 I was just there, I talked to the lady in charge 28:44 in the government and she said, "How can I help you?" 28:46 I said I need licenses 28:48 for seven new radio stations and towers. 28:50 She said, "I can do that." 28:51 Look at that, I mean just lighting up the world, 28:53 just sending the gospel everywhere. 28:55 So we're broadcasting all across Lusaka, 28:57 all across southern Zambia, 28:59 down to Livingstone, into Victoria Falls area. 29:01 Yes. I'm seeing it right in my mind. 29:03 First time ever, we're taking a hundred, 29:07 a hundred, a hundred Europeans who have never preached before, 29:11 pastors and laypeople to preach in Lusaka. 29:14 I talked to the pastors, I was telling CA about this, 29:17 and I talked to the pastors and they said, 29:19 "You know, could we do 100 meetings?" 29:20 I said, "Sure". 29:22 I said, "You had 350 churches here in town, in one town." 29:25 I said, "Can we do 350?" 29:27 They said, "Sure." 29:29 And I said, "Wow," I said, "What would you think?" 29:32 And I said, "What about 400?" They said, "No, we can do 500." 29:36 This is in one city! One city alone. 29:39 One city, never been done before. 29:40 That's amazing. 29:42 I thought that 176, we did something 29:44 not too long ago in Columbia, 29:45 and we had 176 preaching at the same time. 29:48 But I mean I'm getting exciting, 500! 29:50 And then the Union President goes out, 29:52 and they start talking together, 29:54 and they come back, he comes back in and he says, 29:56 all the pastor said to me, 29:58 "Tell the Union President 29:59 that we will do a thousand meetings." 30:01 And you know what? 30:02 There are people that could be added to the kingdom, 30:05 they're larger than that more people coming on that. 30:06 That's right. That's right. 30:08 So Sue was just there. 30:09 I was just there, 30:10 had a meeting with the pastors and the leadership. 30:13 So excited, they are just looking forward 30:16 to what God is going to do, 30:19 Zambia for Christ they're calling it, 30:21 and we'll be having it there in Lusaka, 30:23 we'll be having meetings in Livingstone 30:25 right across the border into Zimbabwe 30:27 at Victoria Falls. 30:29 They are gearing up for this huge event, 30:32 and I just know God is going to work 30:35 so many miracles through this, 30:37 and we'll be broadcasting ahead 30:39 and helping to do some of the pre-work 30:42 all across the country and into Victoria Falls. 30:45 Actually, Victoria Falls has never used radio before. 30:48 And so they're really excited about this opportunity 30:51 that we'll be providing for them. 30:53 And we'll have a permanent station 30:54 there in Livingstone. 30:56 Yes. 30:57 Zimbabwe has been a little difficult. 30:59 We can't get a license for there. 31:01 But we'll put a powerful station in Livingstone, 31:03 right by the Victoria Falls border 31:05 and we will hit Botswana, we'll hit Namibia, 31:07 we'll hit Zimbabwe, 31:09 all those countries in the whole area. 31:11 That's called strategy. 31:12 "You know, you don't have to give me 31:13 a license over your fence, 31:15 I'll climb over there with my radio." 31:16 That's right. I like that. 31:18 No walls, no borders. 31:19 No walls, no borders. 31:20 Talk about Palawan now. 31:22 What's happening there? Palawan. 31:24 Palawan. Did you want to talk? 31:25 Oh, I was just going to say it's exciting 31:27 because we're applying this same methodology 31:29 to these same, you know, these different countries. 31:31 So we're broadcasting several months in advance, 31:34 the laymen are getting excited about this. 31:37 We're doing Bible question of the day 31:39 on our radio broadcast. 31:41 And these are done typically by laymen, 31:43 and these Bible questions of the day, 31:45 you get the audience participating, 31:47 the listeners calling in, winning up a gift, 31:50 a Desire of Ages, the Steps to Christ, 31:52 the Bible radio. 31:53 And we're going to apply that that we did in Mindoro, 31:56 we're going to apply it to Palawan, 31:59 and we're also going to have more, 32:02 we have another island there, Island of Verde 32:04 that we're sending Bible workers too. 32:06 And that whole area of the Philippines 32:08 is just really on fire 32:09 and it's just the radio broadcasting, 32:12 that combination with the laymen preaching 32:14 is just so powerful. 32:16 And when we were there the last time, 32:19 we had 1,400 baptisms in the China Sea 32:22 just from that combination. 32:24 The Lord used it mightily. 32:26 So He'll do it again with Palawan. 32:27 We had 90 stations all across Mindoro 32:29 and they were broadcasting daily 32:30 and they were doing the question of the day. 32:32 The way this worked is they said to me, 32:35 at first they said, "It's not going to work." 32:37 Well, they actually were polite. 32:39 They had tried left. 32:42 They said it's not going to work. 32:44 So they tried for several weeks, 32:45 nothing happened, was it six weeks? 32:47 Three weeks. Three weeks, nothing happened. 32:49 And so Robert Duley said, 32:51 "You know, we need to try something different." 32:53 And so they did the question of the day 32:55 and the way this would work, like on Monday they would say, 32:59 "Okay, we're gonna have the question of the day, 33:01 and we're going to give you..." 33:03 The question of the day is 33:05 what happens to person when they die? 33:07 And then the next, then they would speak on... 33:11 it's the other way around, wasn't it? 33:13 The next day they would ask the question 33:15 relating to the topic the day before. 33:16 Right. Okay. 33:18 And then the first five people who call it in will get a what? 33:21 A Bible, or a phone, or... 33:22 A small gift. A small gift. 33:24 And they were so excited and all of a sudden 33:26 these people from the mountains all started calling in. 33:29 We had people walk, what was it 48 miles? 33:32 There was a group that walked 48 miles over the mountains 33:34 to be baptized. 33:36 Wow! Isn't that incredible? 33:37 We had whole villages, almost entire villages 33:42 that were baptized from listening to the radio, 33:45 doing the broadcast, question of the day, 33:48 having reaping meetings. 33:50 Oh, it was incredible. 33:52 Was it 20 villages who contacted us? 33:54 Fifteen. 33:55 Fifteen villages. Fifteen villages. 33:56 And I wanted to mention two. 33:58 You said the Island of Verde. 34:01 While we were there in Mindoro, Robert Duley, you mentioned, 34:04 received a phone call. 34:06 It was the wife of a village chief 34:09 in another island, 34:11 the Island of Verde considered a dark island, 34:14 no Adventist presence there. 34:16 She said, "We're hearing your broadcast 34:19 and can you send someone over to teach us 34:22 about Jesus, about the Bible." 34:25 There's 10 villages on that island. 34:28 And so we're now in the process of getting someone 34:30 to go share with them 34:32 and the interesting part was 34:34 our broadcast should not have reached over there. 34:37 That far, yeah. 34:38 But I think angels or something 34:40 carried that message over to them. 34:42 Amen. Just incredible. 34:44 Let me clarify a question today, 34:46 again, I messed that up. 34:48 What they'd do is like on a Monday night, 34:49 they'll preach a sermon on what, 34:52 you know, on the state of the dead. 34:53 And then the next night, 34:56 they come in and they preach the sermon, 34:58 and then they say the question today 34:59 is where do you go when you die? 35:01 And so people would have to come the night before 35:04 or listen the night day before, and taking notes, 35:06 and then they know the question of the day. 35:09 So they were able to get that. Yeah. 35:11 That's good. Yeah. 35:12 But, you know, when you talk about the places 35:14 that have Adventist World Radio, 35:16 and I'm using the word penetrating. 35:18 You know, wall can't stop a radio signal. 35:20 It may be able to stop a bullet or a missile. 35:23 But something more piercing than 35:25 even the most advanced armor is the radio wave. 35:28 Yes, amen. 35:30 Unseen but very vocal, very verbal. 35:34 And so let's talk about Japan. Okay. 35:37 What's happening in Japan? 35:38 Well, right now actually, we are broadcasting 35:42 all across Tokyo, largest city in the world. 35:45 We're thrilled about what is happening, 35:47 and we're using Peter Landless, Dr. Landless, 35:49 his health messages, 35:50 and we're broadcasting those on the radio, 35:52 and then people are listening, and they'll be driven 35:54 then invited to come to the churches. 35:58 At the churches then, 35:59 they'll be able to have health seminars 36:02 and from there they'll do a bridge seminar, 36:05 any health principles in the holy writings, 36:07 and then another bridge seminar, 36:09 any prophecy in the holy writings, 36:11 and they'll end up in prophecy seminars. 36:15 It will end up by the month of May this year 36:18 because of the broadcast and other initiatives 36:21 will end up having a hundred and... 36:23 Sixty seven. 36:24 Sixty seven evangelistic meetings in Japan. 36:28 Never been done before. 36:30 And, you know, the groundwork is what's barely key about it. 36:33 You know, the reaping, one plants another water, 36:35 God gives you increase, that's so nice about that 36:38 is while you're sitting here, the seeds are being planted 36:42 through Adventist World Radio. 36:44 It's absolutely unbelievable when you think about it though. 36:47 Japan never before has done evangelism like this, never. 36:50 I could imagine that but it's not really a place 36:52 open to standing on the street corners 36:54 pep talk about Jesus, very... 36:56 But they need Him too, and they need Him too, 36:58 and there they have that desire, 37:00 you know, they need hope, they really need hope. 37:03 When we were there, it was palatable. 37:05 Oh, I have to tell you this one thing 37:07 just before we move on. 37:10 You know, this last year 37:12 we took Japanese laypeople and pastors to Mindoro 37:15 to get them excited about preaching, 37:18 and they did, they have gone back, 37:20 carried that far back to Japan. 37:21 That's why they were willing to do evangelism now. 37:25 So we thought what about China. 37:28 And so we have friends working with us, 37:31 Louie Torres is working with us, 37:33 plus a pastor in China is working with us. 37:36 We're going to take 30 young adults from China 37:43 to the Philippines to preach 37:45 their first evangelistic meetings in English. 37:48 In English! 37:49 I would not have guessed that one. 37:52 China to Philippines to preach in English. 37:54 Visas back and forth between China and the Philippines 37:57 are very easy. 37:58 So people can travel back and forth easily. 38:00 And so we're going to take these young people 38:03 who have never done evangelism before 38:05 to the Philippines, to Mindoro. 38:07 They'll preach their first meetings in English, 38:09 and then they have agreed they'll go back home, 38:11 and do the same thing in the little churches, 38:13 the home churches and things 38:15 back in Beijing, and Shanghai, and all across China. 38:19 The gates of hell will not prevail against it. 38:21 Isn't that amazing. That's the church. 38:22 You know, I thought I used to think that 38:24 that meant the gates of hell are pushing us. 38:25 No, we're pushing the gates of hell, 38:27 like a bulldozer of the gospel and it cannot stop the gospel. 38:31 Praise the Lord for that. 38:33 Talk about India, you have a video clip 38:34 so just set it up for me. 38:35 Yeah, India is a difficult place. 38:38 We were there a few months ago, and I'm going again shortly. 38:41 But when we were there we heard about it. 38:44 You know, each state is pretty independent. 38:46 Right. 38:48 And some are very, very strongly against Christians. 38:51 And one of the states in the north, 38:54 and one of the larger cities they published in the paper. 38:57 They said, "We'll give a half a million dollars 39:00 to anybody who kills a Christian pastor." 39:03 Yeah. 39:05 So we had to be careful 39:06 but also we are going into India next year, 39:11 just like we're Japan this year, India next year. 39:13 We're working on... 39:15 And we just keep rotating throughout the world, 39:16 different countries like this. 39:18 But in India, we intend to do a lot of broadcasting 39:21 on the health messages, driving people, 39:24 inviting people to come to the churches 39:25 for health seminars doing a bridge seminar then. 39:28 You see, you do the health message 39:30 and you say at the end on the health seminar 39:33 like a cooking school, or reducing diabetes, 39:37 or whatever, they have problems there too. 39:38 And you have a doctor doing it or nurse doing it, 39:41 and then you ask the question, 39:42 are there any health principles in any of the holy writings? 39:47 And so you look at the holy writings 39:49 and you find out, 39:51 no, there's not much except the Bible. 39:53 And then you go through that and then you go to prophecy. 39:55 Any end time events in any of the holy writings, 39:59 not much actually nothing except the Bible. 40:01 Except the Bible. And then you go to the Bible. 40:03 And so it's a bridge seminar and you keep working with it. 40:05 So that's the idea, to broadcast, 40:07 to the Godpods again. 40:09 We'll have a 1,000 Godpods there, 40:11 we're doing video projectors, 40:13 we're sending in 2,000 video projectors. 40:14 So we're pretty excited about what's happening. 40:17 We are going to look at this India video clip 40:19 and then you kind of give us some filling on that 40:20 after that about what's happening in India. 40:24 AWR is reaching India 40:25 by sharing the biblical health message, 40:28 as it truly is the right arm of the gospel. 40:32 This is the AWR360 message for India. 40:36 We cannot publicly evangelize, 40:38 but we can fill the need of people wanting to know ways 40:42 on how to live healthier and live longer. 40:45 Once they have applied these principles 40:47 and experience the difference, many seek the source. 40:51 Missionaries and pastors cannot easily come to preach. 40:54 It is up to the members living there to get involved. 40:58 AWR360 held rallies in multiple cities 41:01 to prepare the way, 41:03 while encouraging the members 41:04 to get involved with India for Christ, 2019. 41:09 People came in droves, in Calcutta 41:13 hundreds of people attended, even the hallways were packed. 41:17 Pastor Duane invited the people to sit on the stage 41:20 so that they could hear better. 41:21 All were eager and willing to prepare 41:24 for the upcoming evangelistic campaigns. 41:27 In fact, we heard testimonies on how the members implemented 41:32 that each one, reach one. 41:34 They shared how individual members 41:36 were bringing in people from their community 41:37 to the church, 41:39 and how pastors instructed each member 41:41 to write a name on a card 41:43 designating who would be their goal for that year. 41:46 And it worked, resulting in multiple churches forming 41:50 because of this project. 41:52 Praise the Lord. 41:54 God has a plan for India using AWR360. 41:58 Our mission is to hold 4,000 meetings 42:02 held by church laypeople in 2019. 42:12 When you say no walls, no borders, 42:14 I mean I'm looking at the list North Korea, Rwanda, Congo, 42:17 Zambia, Palawan, Verde, China, Japan, India. 42:24 I mean, is there a no place that you don't feel 42:27 that there is a wall or a border? 42:29 No, not at all. 42:30 You know, and those difficult places 42:32 like North Korea or some of Burma, 42:35 some of the places in Middle East, 42:38 still we can go with it. 42:40 We broadcast... 42:41 God has to open the way we have to tell those stories 42:43 that need to be told 42:45 so we have to tell the story of Jesus 42:46 so people can make decisions for Christ. 42:48 In India, we're sending there 2,000 video projectors 42:52 so the churches... 42:53 There are 4,000 churches, 42:55 at least, 1,000 already have video projectors. 42:57 So they can do the health seminar, 42:58 then they can do the prophecy seminar. 43:01 So those are on their way and we praise God, 43:03 we're about to buy those out of China 43:05 at a very reasonable price. 43:06 Wow. 43:07 And when you think about it, Cami, 43:09 just getting excited about 43:11 seeing what happens in the people's lives 43:12 the transformation. 43:14 If anybody doubted that God really exists, 43:16 just take them on a mission trip with you. 43:18 And that's exactly right. 43:20 I mean, that happened to me personally, 43:21 it's just getting involved in evangelism changed my life. 43:25 But to witness it in others, 43:27 and actually get to do this work around the world, 43:29 and see God's mighty hand all over, 43:32 you know, in every single continent. 43:33 It's just incredible. 43:35 My team and I were, 43:37 we were on our way to Argentina, 43:39 and we had certain stories set in mind. 43:42 And, you know, God loves to give us surprises, 43:46 and I just love that He does that. 43:47 When we got there to Argentina, we met, before the Sabbath, 43:54 two of our subjects or the people 43:57 that were going to have their testimonies recorded. 43:59 And they both share 44:00 that they were now deacons in the church. 44:02 They've been through some really hard core stuff, 44:05 and we have that on a video at a later time for you. 44:07 But what the point I want to make 44:10 is that when we went to the Sabbath School 44:14 to view them and video them doing Sabbath school, 44:18 we realized as we walked in... 44:20 And actually let's play the clip 44:22 because I'll tell you 44:23 while you see it happening video clip. 44:25 Okay. Argentina? Yes. 44:27 So here I am walking into the church 44:29 that we've been invited to. 44:31 And here's some of our subjects that we're showing, you know, 44:35 they really had a struggle and how Adventist World Radio 44:39 completely changed their lives, 44:40 there's so many stories pouring in. 44:42 So we went to record them, look there. 44:44 When I see that, I am told 44:47 that that is an Adventist World Radio Church 44:49 that those 60 to 70 people all are there 44:52 because they've been listening to the radio. 44:55 So we were like blown away, 44:56 we thought, "Well, this is a story in itself." 44:59 And so here's one of our subjects 45:02 giving his testimony as he has become a deacon, 45:05 and what's amazing is that the Sabbath 45:07 also included baptisms. 45:11 Two teenagers, there you see them there, 45:12 they're beautiful, beautiful. 45:16 And it's going to make me cry because you'll see 45:19 when these two adult children 45:22 and how do you want to, a new adults. 45:24 And I think they are baptized, 45:26 the whole church is just crying 45:28 because they are all so connected. 45:31 And we saw the young man his name is Litaro, he's 17, 45:36 and this is him here, and as he's being baptized, 45:39 as you can see everyone is really becoming emotional, 45:44 and here's the reason why. 45:46 This young man at 17, 45:49 he went to his neighbors 45:52 who was an Adventist World Radio listener 45:55 and he heard this radio message, 45:57 and he started coming over to his neighbors a lot, 45:59 listening with him. 46:00 As soon as a group of teenagers gathered 46:03 and were listening to the radio programs. 46:05 Well, this didn't make his dad very happy, 46:09 and his dad is a mechanic, 46:10 and Litaro works in his mechanic shop. 46:13 He's hugging his mom there. 46:16 Works in his father's shop, while on Sabbaths, 46:19 his dad would make sure to give him 46:21 the longest list of chores possible 46:23 so that he would not make it to church. 46:25 That young man at 17 years of age 46:27 would get up at 4:30 in the morning, 46:31 get all of the chores done in that mechanic shop. 46:34 Meanwhile praying, asking for forgiveness, 46:36 "Lord, I know I'm working on Sabbath, 46:38 and I don't want to be. 46:39 But this is the only way I can get to church." 46:41 And so he was so blessed 46:43 by he'd get to church every Sabbath. 46:45 He would get his chores done. 46:47 Well, what's amazing is that his mom is now studying, 46:51 his brother is now studying, and his dad is softening. 46:55 So, you know, one man standing up for Jesus, 46:59 you know, it's infectious. 47:00 And so what's wonderful to see is that in a church like that, 47:05 you know, a radio listener, 47:07 an Adventist World Radio listener, 47:08 yes, listens to the message takes it in, 47:11 makes the decision, and he's baptized 47:13 but it doesn't end there 47:14 because that person like Litaro, 47:16 who I believe was a born evangelist 47:19 is now he takes the message to the next person, 47:21 and the next, and the next. 47:23 So really this is called from broadcast to baptism, 47:28 to baptism, to baptism, to baptism. 47:31 It just keeps going. Echoing. 47:33 That's right. 47:34 And so Argentina was wonderful. 47:36 Stay tuned for more of those stories because... 47:40 And you can find them on AWR.org 47:43 and see the different testimonies 47:44 of how God is reaching the people of Argentina. 47:47 How could we make an impact 47:49 in a sense of what can our viewers and listeners 47:52 do to either contribute 47:54 or participate in the mission of Adventist World Radio? 47:56 I think the main thing is to pray. 47:58 We need prayer, you know, reaching China, 48:02 reaching the Nepal, reaching the Middle East, 48:05 all these, Russia, the Stan countries, 48:08 all these difficult areas. 48:10 We're working, we have people there, 48:12 and we're thinking, and working in different ways. 48:14 But pray, the Lord will give us new ideas through the internet 48:19 digital evangelism is really incredible. 48:22 We're starting this new digital center 48:24 for evangelism in Manila in the Philippines. 48:27 Now pray for that that it would go well. 48:28 And we want to have, you know, 48:30 it'll help people connect 48:32 immediately when they have questions, 48:34 when they want to do Bible studies, 48:35 and help them connect through prayer, 48:36 and then to the churches 48:38 but pray that the Lord will help us. 48:40 And then also go on the website, AWR.org? 48:42 Yeah, we'll give that information in just moment. 48:44 Yeah, and look on that. 48:46 And, you know, we covet your interest, 48:50 and your prayers, and working together, 48:52 partner with us. 48:53 I was just thinking, 48:55 people that are watching right now 48:57 are probably loving these stories. 48:59 I know, I love the stories, 49:01 how can you get these stories month after month 49:03 of what AWR is doing. 49:05 If you go to AWR.org, sign up to be, 49:10 you know, to be on our mailing list 49:12 so you can get this... 49:13 That's subscribe kind of...
