Hello and welcome
to a very special 3ABN
00:01:10.17\00:01:16.34
Today program. My
name is CA Murray and it's
00:01:16.40\00:01:19.81
my pleasure to
welcome you to what is going
00:01:19.87\00:01:22.48
to be an
exciting, fast-paced hour of
00:01:22.54\00:01:25.58
missionary stories
of miracles from the
00:01:25.61\00:01:27.82
Lord- and if you'll
excuse me, because I'm
00:01:27.88\00:01:30.29
very happy. I'm a
missionary guy. Always
00:01:30.35\00:01:33.05
like to hear the
stories when the missionaries
00:01:33.09\00:01:34.56
came back to our
church when I was growing up,
00:01:34.62\00:01:36.32
and we have got some
stories that literally
00:01:36.36\00:01:39.19
will make your hair
fall out. I've heard
00:01:39.26\00:01:41.93
them already, and by
the grace of the Lord,
00:01:42.00\00:01:45.73
we're going to
share these with you. So
00:01:45.77\00:01:47.70
if you've got an
iPad, a pen, pencil, paper,
00:01:47.77\00:01:49.64
fire something up
because you may want
00:01:49.70\00:01:51.07
to record this
program. And if not, let me
00:01:51.14\00:01:52.97
encourage you to get
the DVD, 'cause you're
00:01:53.04\00:01:55.94
going to hear some
wonderful, wonderful
00:01:56.04\00:01:57.38
things. Got some
great people with me
00:01:57.41\00:01:58.75
this afternoon. -
Good to be here. - Good
00:01:58.78\00:02:00.12
to have you all
here. Now, Dr. Lela, I know
00:02:00.15\00:02:03.79
you, of course, as
the CEO of Your Best
00:02:03.85\00:02:06.05
Pathway to
Health. When last we were
00:02:06.12\00:02:08.42
together, we were
slaving over a hot
00:02:08.46\00:02:09.96
board meeting. -
That's right! - I took almost
00:02:10.03\00:02:11.73
the whole... And
you were there! LONG
00:02:11.79\00:02:13.40
board meeting;
detailed board meeting! I didn't
00:02:13.50\00:02:15.70
know that you had
enough time in your
00:02:15.76\00:02:17.10
day to pal around
with this crew! It's good
00:02:17.13\00:02:21.10
to have you
here. - Thank you! Nice
00:02:21.17\00:02:23.24
to be here. -
Yeah! And there is some
00:02:23.30\00:02:25.21
interconnection- were
going to talk about that
00:02:25.24\00:02:26.68
also. So, great
things are happening to Kyle,
00:02:26.71\00:02:28.98
Allen. Good to have
you here, man. - Good
00:02:29.08\00:02:30.41
to see you, CA. -
Vice president-AWR. Got
00:02:30.45\00:02:32.01
the AWR shirt on. And
these are good shirts!
00:02:32.08\00:02:35.48
- We matched,
but I don't know how.
00:02:35.58\00:02:37.59
- I'm almost
envious; I'm almost breaking
00:02:39.52\00:02:41.12
a commandment. I
LOVE these shirts. Really
00:02:41.22\00:02:45.73
well done.
Duane McKey, president
00:02:45.76\00:02:48.90
of AWR, and also
vice president- actually,
00:02:48.96\00:02:52.63
you assist the president
of the General Conference
00:02:52.73\00:02:54.20
for TMI. - That's
right. - Yeah. So, you've
00:02:54.24\00:02:56.57
got a full plate. -
It's exciting. - You
00:02:56.60\00:02:59.64
went out, and-I
don't want to say stole Sue
00:02:59.71\00:03:02.18
Hinkle-... - I did.
- Well- oh. What you
00:03:02.24\00:03:05.65
borrowed Sue Hinkle
which is the outreach
00:03:05.71\00:03:07.65
manager for AWR,
and I know doing a
00:03:07.75\00:03:09.52
fine job, because
she's good at whatever
00:03:09.58\00:03:11.25
she does. - It's a dream?.
00:03:11.35\00:03:14.46
- It is a dream?.
And the mouthpiece,
00:03:14.52\00:03:17.29
Cami Oetman...and let
me get the title right.
00:03:17.36\00:03:21.80
Adventist World
Radio, vice president for
00:03:21.90\00:03:25.13
advancement. -
Yes. - Praise the Lord.
00:03:25.23\00:03:27.60
- It's a delight
to be here; thank you.
00:03:27.67\00:03:29.27
- Good to have
you all here; smiling
00:03:29.34\00:03:30.81
faces. We said in
a previous program,
00:03:30.87\00:03:33.48
if you watch them
very closely, this group
00:03:33.54\00:03:36.21
barely touches the
ground when they walk-
00:03:36.24\00:03:38.48
it's like three
angels flying in the midst of
00:03:38.51\00:03:39.88
heaven-because of what
they do and the rewards
00:03:39.95\00:03:42.38
and blessing of the
Lord that they're always
00:03:42.42\00:03:44.25
up for the Lord.
This is going to be an
00:03:44.32\00:03:46.15
exciting program;
you really want to draw
00:03:46.22\00:03:47.56
close to this one
and hear what's going on,
00:03:47.59\00:03:49.12
because the Lord
is doing some great
00:03:49.19\00:03:51.83
things in the
world through AWR. This
00:03:51.89\00:03:55.46
is not your father's
AWR doing. This is a brand
00:03:55.53\00:03:58.50
new grown-up, mature
AWR that's doing some
00:03:58.57\00:04:01.27
brand-new things,
and really, really
00:04:01.34\00:04:03.14
exciting things.
- AWR 360- Broadcast
00:04:03.20\00:04:05.61
to Baptism. - I
love that. Broadcast to
00:04:05.67\00:04:08.78
Baptism. And I've
said this before - growing
00:04:08.91\00:04:11.68
up, we heard
about AWR from the time
00:04:11.81\00:04:13.31
they first put
that big system in Guam,
00:04:13.42\00:04:15.65
but it was always sort
of an out-there kind of
00:04:15.72\00:04:17.89
thing, you know?
But out there is now in
00:04:18.02\00:04:19.49
here. Yeah, praise
the Lord. It's doing
00:04:19.59\00:04:22.89
some great,
great works. Comes the
00:04:22.92\00:04:26.33
man, comes the occasion,
and God puts the person
00:04:26.39\00:04:28.93
that He wants in for
the time. I could see-
00:04:29.00\00:04:31.80
I CAN see God's
hand on you and the ideas
00:04:31.87\00:04:37.41
that- you are a
bundle of ideas! And you got
00:04:37.47\00:04:41.78
a good team with you-
you know? Really, really
00:04:41.84\00:04:44.25
good team. - The
best- the very best. - And
00:04:44.31\00:04:47.05
a great wife that
kind of keeps it?.
00:04:47.12\00:04:48.62
- Amen.
[laughter] - She's just back
00:04:48.68\00:04:52.79
behind us here.
- Now, want to give
00:04:52.85\00:04:55.02
you just a little
tease, because we're going
00:04:55.09\00:04:56.42
to talk about
some exciting stuff! I
00:04:56.46\00:05:00.30
have no better word
than stuff. Going up
00:05:00.36\00:05:03.16
into the
highlands of the Philippines
00:05:03.26\00:05:04.60
and doing some
things that have possibly
00:05:04.63\00:05:05.97
never been done
before evangelistically, and
00:05:06.00\00:05:08.34
really just some
great stuff. So, I don't
00:05:08.40\00:05:09.90
even know where
to start. let's have
00:05:10.01\00:05:11.54
a quick word of
prayer, and then we're going
00:05:11.57\00:05:12.91
to launch out,
because we need to get going.
00:05:12.94\00:05:15.54
Good Doctor,
just have a quick word
00:05:15.64\00:05:16.98
of prayer for us, if
you will. - Dear Father
00:05:17.01\00:05:19.01
in heaven, thank You so
much for the opportunity
00:05:19.08\00:05:21.12
of coming together
and hearing what You are
00:05:21.18\00:05:23.12
doing through Your Holy
Spirit around the world.
00:05:23.18\00:05:25.52
Please bless our program
today, and thank You again for
00:05:25.55\00:05:28.22
the opportunity of sharing these
00:05:28.32\00:05:29.66
wonderful truths.
In Jesus' name, amen.
00:05:29.69\00:05:32.03
- Praise the Lord.
Amen and amen. Now,
00:05:32.06\00:05:33.53
who do- - Dr. Lela and I
00:05:33.60\00:05:36.00
have been friends
for many years, since-
00:05:36.06\00:05:37.77
- A long time,
yeah. - She helped
00:05:37.80\00:05:39.13
us out when I was
president in Arizona.
00:05:39.17\00:05:40.74
We've been friends
and connected, and then
00:05:40.80\00:05:42.70
she came up with this
idea, Your Best Pathway
00:05:42.77\00:05:45.67
to Health. Started
in San Francisco and
00:05:45.74\00:05:47.78
Oakland, and
then San Antonio. She
00:05:47.84\00:05:49.81
asked if I would
help her in Oakland and
00:05:49.88\00:05:52.35
then in San Francisco,
and I said, "Sure! But
00:05:52.41\00:05:54.55
you have you help
us..." - It was a deal.
00:05:54.65\00:05:56.22
[laughter]
00:05:56.32\00:05:58.15
There's always? - Always a deal!
00:05:58.19\00:06:00.09
Indeed; indeed. -
I got the deal. - The
00:06:00.16\00:06:03.26
Lord blesses in
such a marvelous way as
00:06:03.36\00:06:04.99
we combine evangelism
along with the medical
00:06:05.06\00:06:07.76
in San Antonio.
And because of having
00:06:07.83\00:06:10.67
the Pathway to
Health seminars and the
00:06:10.73\00:06:13.84
evangelistic
projects and meetings and the
00:06:13.90\00:06:16.34
Bible studies, we
now have 6 new churches
00:06:16.40\00:06:18.27
in San Antonio. -
Amen! - Praise the Lord.
00:06:18.34\00:06:19.97
- It seems like-
who was that? Some lady
00:06:20.01\00:06:22.11
said a long time
ago- who was that, Cami?
00:06:22.14\00:06:24.25
There was something about-
00:06:24.35\00:06:25.71
- She's a
favorite! [laughter] - About
00:06:25.81\00:06:27.92
the health message,
what was that...? Be in
00:06:27.98\00:06:30.32
the... - The right
arm. Amen. It's what we're
00:06:30.39\00:06:33.56
supposed to be
doing. - Amen. That's what
00:06:33.62\00:06:34.96
we should be
doing, isn't it? - That's
00:06:34.99\00:06:36.36
right. What beauty
when we do it together!
00:06:36.42\00:06:38.83
- Amen. - And we
talk about the perfect
00:06:38.89\00:06:41.60
fit for the person.
This energizer bunny.
00:06:41.66\00:06:44.80
I mean, you've
never met a person with
00:06:44.87\00:06:46.60
that kind of
energy that Dr. Lela Lewis
00:06:46.67\00:06:49.50
has. She is moving
ALL the time and has
00:06:49.57\00:06:52.97
never heard a good
idea that she didn't
00:06:53.04\00:06:54.98
bite down on. Once
she kind of gets her
00:06:55.04\00:06:56.85
teeth into it,
done. It's done. - Get
00:06:56.91\00:06:59.81
it out of the
way. [laughter] - Well,
00:06:59.88\00:07:03.42
praise the Lord. So
you got a good team.
00:07:03.45\00:07:05.99
- We have. I mean,
we've been together
00:07:06.05\00:07:07.39
for a long time and
we're going to have a
00:07:07.42\00:07:08.76
closer-working relationship;
it's a big project.
00:07:08.79\00:07:11.99
Maybe we will hear a little
bit about that ere we have
00:07:12.03\00:07:13.76
finished this program.
00:07:13.80\00:07:15.13
- Praise the Lord.
Excellent. - By the
00:07:15.16\00:07:16.50
way, just the
last program, we were
00:07:16.53\00:07:17.87
talking about
Zambia. Something I forgot to
00:07:17.90\00:07:19.23
tell you, we had a
thousand meetings in Zambia,
00:07:19.27\00:07:21.07
and the Lord
blessed beyond belief. Kyle,
00:07:21.14\00:07:25.24
I think they said
we had maybe 2,000, and
00:07:25.31\00:07:27.64
the Lord blessed with
almost 18,000 baptisms.
00:07:27.71\00:07:34.05
And they, Cami-
they told us at the end,
00:07:34.12\00:07:36.58
they said, what was it? 80% of
00:07:36.65\00:07:40.56
those came
from... - AWR. Listened to
00:07:40.62\00:07:43.02
the radio. I
just have to say this.
00:07:43.09\00:07:46.63
We were in the pool
baptizing. I don't know
00:07:46.73\00:07:48.50
if you said this in
the last program, but
00:07:48.56\00:07:49.90
we were in there
for over 2 hours, CA,
00:07:49.93\00:07:51.93
baptizing. We got
into the pool. 35 or +
00:07:52.00\00:07:54.70
pastors were in that
pool. It was cold water,
00:07:54.80\00:07:56.67
believe it or
not, in Zambia. Started
00:07:56.71\00:07:58.47
off- it was very
clear and blue. By
00:07:58.57\00:08:00.58
the end, dark brown.
[eruption of laughter]
00:08:00.61\00:08:03.98
We were happy,
because it was like a symbol
00:08:04.05\00:08:05.91
of all those sins
being washed away.
00:08:06.01\00:08:07.55
- Yes, amen and
amen. - Thousands of people
00:08:07.65\00:08:08.98
giving their
hearts to Jesus and having
00:08:09.02\00:08:10.79
listened to AWR. -
Praise the Lord. God
00:08:10.85\00:08:13.25
is good. How wonderful-
getting-pruny-for-Jesus
00:08:13.36\00:08:14.82
kind of thing.
Excellent! - We have had an
00:08:14.86\00:08:17.73
exciting summer;
that is for sure. Not only
00:08:17.79\00:08:20.46
with Zambia; the
next we went to...Palawan!
00:08:20.56\00:08:23.57
- Have you been to
Palawan? - You know,
00:08:23.63\00:08:25.80
I have! I've been
there a couple of times.
00:08:25.87\00:08:27.57
- Let's hear! -
Kyle, do you remember that?
00:08:27.60\00:08:30.67
Just a few weeks
ago? - Yes! Yes. - It was
00:08:30.71\00:08:32.61
unbelievable what
God did. Sue, bless your
00:08:32.67\00:08:35.31
heart- all your work
ahead of time. We did
00:08:35.38\00:08:37.41
a free mega
clinic there. We call it
00:08:37.48\00:08:39.71
LifeSource. What
happened, Kyle? - Well- by the
00:08:39.75\00:08:42.25
way, Palawan,
Philippines, just to clarify. It
00:08:42.35\00:08:45.72
was in the
Philippines. An island in the
00:08:45.75\00:08:47.32
southwest part of
the Philippines. So, we
00:08:47.36\00:08:49.69
said-like you said,
Duane-health evangelism
00:08:49.76\00:08:53.96
must be combined
with the preaching. So,
00:08:54.03\00:08:56.97
the TMI meetings
were coming up. We said,
00:08:57.07\00:08:59.20
"We need to have a
clinic before the TMI
00:08:59.30\00:09:01.70
meetings to serve the
people of Whole Person
00:09:01.77\00:09:03.94
Health." - And that
was the approach that
00:09:03.97\00:09:06.41
we took with the
government, and they
00:09:06.47\00:09:07.81
were very excited
about it. - And they
00:09:07.84\00:09:09.38
provided amazingly.
- They actually gave us
00:09:09.44\00:09:12.11
the colosseum
completely for free. It was a
00:09:12.21\00:09:15.22
total blessing
from God, 'cause there's
00:09:15.28\00:09:16.65
no way in the
world we could've been
00:09:16.72\00:09:18.05
able to afford that.
- And the conference,
00:09:18.09\00:09:19.65
the union-
everybody partnered together.
00:09:19.69\00:09:21.66
The hospital
there- so many people came
00:09:21.69\00:09:23.69
together to make it
possible. - But we didn't
00:09:23.76\00:09:25.23
just do the medical.
That's the big thing.
00:09:25.29\00:09:27.90
We brought the
whole person - physical,
00:09:27.96\00:09:30.87
mental, emotional,
and spiritual healing.
00:09:30.90\00:09:33.23
- We call that in TMI
and AWR 360 "connecting
00:09:33.30\00:09:36.47
the dots." - And
that's an awesome way of
00:09:36.50\00:09:41.11
describing it, 'cause
that's exactly what we
00:09:41.18\00:09:42.64
did. We decided
from what we learned at
00:09:42.71\00:09:45.68
Pathway that we wanted
to bring a closer connection
00:09:45.71\00:09:48.22
between the spiritual,
the physical, and mental,
00:09:48.28\00:09:50.65
and emotional, so
we actually shut the
00:09:50.72\00:09:52.72
clinic down. Is
that right, Kyle? - Well,
00:09:52.79\00:09:54.29
it's amazing,
'cause you know at Pathway,
00:09:54.36\00:09:55.86
we've talked about
it before, CA. I mean,
00:09:55.89\00:09:57.69
there is so much happening.
People are ready to get
00:09:57.73\00:10:00.33
their services.
Thousands of people are in line
00:10:00.40\00:10:01.76
and you would
think, "Why would you shut
00:10:01.80\00:10:03.16
the clinic down?" -
You've got thousands
00:10:03.20\00:10:04.53
of people outside!
What are you thinking about?
00:10:04.57\00:10:06.37
Hello!? - There's
doctors here, there's
00:10:06.40\00:10:08.17
providers- why shut
the clinic down? But
00:10:08.20\00:10:09.84
Dr. Lela, you felt
very convicted. - I
00:10:09.94\00:10:12.67
felt very
convicted that's what God
00:10:12.71\00:10:14.04
wanted us to do. -
That we need to do this,
00:10:14.08\00:10:15.41
and so we did! We
shut it down from 12 to
00:10:15.44\00:10:16.78
1. - Wow. - By faith.
It was a total by-faith
00:10:16.81\00:10:18.41
thing. - Oh, in
the middle of the day?
00:10:18.48\00:10:19.81
- In the middle of
the day, we shut that
00:10:19.85\00:10:22.02
clinic down! From 12
to 1. - To serve lunch,
00:10:22.05\00:10:24.45
but more importantly,
to serve Whole Person
00:10:24.52\00:10:27.69
Health. And Dr.
Lela, you got up first,
00:10:27.76\00:10:30.86
and she would
make a presentation on
00:10:30.93\00:10:32.93
physical health,
and then would bridge-
00:10:32.99\00:10:35.43
- And tying into the
mental and emotional,
00:10:35.50\00:10:37.17
and then bridge to
spiritual. - And then
00:10:37.20\00:10:40.44
I came up and did
a spiritual health
00:10:40.47\00:10:41.87
presentation. So,
we're presenting Whole Person
00:10:41.90\00:10:44.44
Health, making
that bridge between-
00:10:44.51\00:10:46.78
we don't want just
people to be healed
00:10:46.88\00:10:48.21
physically; we want
them healed spiritually,
00:10:48.24\00:10:49.61
as well. So, we
did that each of the 3
00:10:49.64\00:10:51.88
days during the
noon hour. It was really
00:10:51.91\00:10:53.98
a blessing. - It
was quite a learning
00:10:54.05\00:10:55.55
experience, I
would say. God totally
00:10:55.58\00:10:58.29
blessed. - At
first, it didn't really-
00:10:58.35\00:10:59.89
it was a little hard
for us the first time
00:10:59.95\00:11:02.16
we had done it the
first day, and people
00:11:02.22\00:11:04.36
are milling around
still, BUT we noticed
00:11:04.43\00:11:05.89
people were listening!
And they were following,
00:11:05.96\00:11:08.13
Sue, you know? I
mean, they were there...
00:11:08.20\00:11:11.30
- It was
incredible. When you made an
00:11:11.33\00:11:12.67
appeal for how
many want to give their
00:11:12.70\00:11:15.10
lives to Christ,
all the hands went up.
00:11:15.14\00:11:18.21
It seemed like that
entire colosseum had
00:11:18.27\00:11:21.31
their hands raised. -
The amazing thing was-
00:11:21.38\00:11:24.81
Doctor, tell them what happened,
00:11:24.91\00:11:26.25
because you were
speaking. - Okay. So,
00:11:26.28\00:11:28.35
I go to make my mini
appeal kind of halfway
00:11:28.38\00:11:30.89
between before I
hand it off to Kyle,
00:11:30.95\00:11:33.62
and I'm at the
point where I'm saying,
00:11:33.66\00:11:36.89
"You have the opportunity.
The discussion was on
00:11:36.96\00:11:39.19
the frontal lobe.
You have the opportunity
00:11:39.26\00:11:41.00
to have the mind of
Christ, that the name
00:11:41.03\00:11:42.96
of Jesus for the
people who look up and say,
00:11:43.06\00:11:45.23
'Lo, this is our
God; we have waited for
00:11:45.27\00:11:46.63
Him! He will save
us!'- they get to have His
00:11:46.70\00:11:48.80
name in their
forehead! And that can be you!
00:11:48.84\00:11:50.91
You can have
this opportunity!" I'm
00:11:50.94\00:11:52.81
JUST about to
make that appeal and
00:11:52.84\00:11:54.34
invite Kyle to come
speak it. Out of the
00:11:54.41\00:11:56.04
blue, from
nowhere, great thunder and
00:11:56.08\00:11:58.55
lightning just
BOOM! - Literally, boom.
00:11:58.58\00:12:01.58
- Boom! It was boom.
It was definitely boom.
00:12:01.65\00:12:03.89
And it overshadowed
my voice and God just
00:12:03.95\00:12:06.32
took my voice above
this chaos and it just went
00:12:06.39\00:12:09.29
WHOOSH! And
Kyle... - Whoosh. - Kyle
00:12:09.32\00:12:12.83
came up, and he
took over, but the rain
00:12:12.89\00:12:14.90
and the thunder
stopped! Right, Kyle? When you
00:12:15.00\00:12:18.47
saw it. - It
subsided. Then I preached;
00:12:18.50\00:12:20.17
I talked about
heaven and how we all have
00:12:20.24\00:12:22.97
the hope of
being together with God
00:12:23.10\00:12:24.94
one day- and
full health in heaven,
00:12:25.04\00:12:26.81
amen? - Amen. - And
so we made an appeal,
00:12:26.88\00:12:28.74
like you said,
Sue. - We both stood up
00:12:28.81\00:12:30.75
together to make
the final appeal. - She
00:12:30.81\00:12:32.31
came up and we start
making the appeal, and
00:12:32.38\00:12:34.35
right as we're making the
appeal... [Thunder noises]
00:12:34.42\00:12:38.39
There it goes
again. The thunder! - And
00:12:38.45\00:12:40.46
the rain! But
God took both of our
00:12:40.52\00:12:42.26
voices this time,
again, above the storm. You
00:12:42.32\00:12:44.53
were there, Sue. It
was the most powerful
00:12:44.59\00:12:46.39
thing. And like you
said, literally, it was
00:12:46.46\00:12:48.90
like the wave.
You see at these big
00:12:48.96\00:12:50.50
colosseums, people
standing- everybody
00:12:50.57\00:12:52.90
just raising
their hands. - We asked
00:12:52.97\00:12:54.67
people to stand who
would accept Christ,
00:12:54.70\00:12:56.07
and they just stood
all around the auditorium.
00:12:56.14\00:12:58.81
Those that were
standing in line, even then, we
00:12:58.87\00:13:00.84
asked them to raise
their hands to accept
00:13:00.91\00:13:02.28
Jesus. - We did
have a few pictures, too,
00:13:02.34\00:13:04.48
if they would
like to show what we're
00:13:04.51\00:13:05.91
talking about. -
Oh, sure. - And you know
00:13:05.95\00:13:07.28
what else happened, too,
kind of, Cami, coming what
00:13:07.38\00:13:09.28
happened afterwards
was that Kyle really
00:13:09.32\00:13:12.62
made a big
emphasis- in fact, all 3 days,
00:13:12.72\00:13:15.19
to invite the
people to the meetings that
00:13:15.26\00:13:17.23
happened subsequently
two days later. - Now,
00:13:17.36\00:13:19.69
this is outside the
stadium? - That's the
00:13:19.79\00:13:21.90
team. - Some of the
volunteers. - There was
00:13:21.96\00:13:25.27
actually, just
to bring an idea of
00:13:25.37\00:13:27.40
what actually took
place, there were only 300
00:13:27.44\00:13:29.67
volunteers. It
was literally a Gideon
00:13:29.80\00:13:31.81
army. We served,
by God's grace- you
00:13:31.87\00:13:35.54
could see the
thousands of people that are
00:13:35.61\00:13:37.28
there. - Wow. -
Just under in the end, it
00:13:37.35\00:13:40.12
was just under 9,000
patients. - Oh, no, no, no,
00:13:40.22\00:13:43.18
you're-... Really?
It's true? - It's true.
00:13:43.28\00:13:46.29
9,000 patients-no
joke. A Gideon army of 300-
00:13:46.35\00:13:51.63
and that was with,
by faith, shutting the
00:13:51.73\00:13:53.60
clinic down for one
hour. - We're talking
00:13:53.70\00:13:55.16
surgeries, the dental,
the eye care- all that.
00:13:55.20\00:13:57.57
It was amazing. -
When you said, "We
00:13:57.63\00:13:59.90
shut it down," well,
of course; you've got
00:13:59.93\00:14:01.47
to shut it down
sooner or later. I didn't
00:14:01.50\00:14:02.84
know you meant in the
middle of the day, which
00:14:02.87\00:14:04.34
is- that's a God
thing. To do that and
00:14:04.37\00:14:07.41
get that kind of
response- now, Sue, they were
00:14:07.48\00:14:09.31
speaking, so I
know the speaking in.
00:14:09.38\00:14:11.35
As a person who put
this together and to
00:14:11.45\00:14:13.25
see and
experience that, give me some
00:14:13.31\00:14:15.28
sense of what
was going on in your
00:14:15.35\00:14:16.69
heart and your mind.
- It was really amazing.
00:14:16.72\00:14:19.55
During the clinic,
I worked in the exit
00:14:19.65\00:14:22.32
management when
people were going out.
00:14:22.39\00:14:24.16
We had an opportunity
to talk to the patients
00:14:24.23\00:14:27.73
as they were
leaving. We were giving them
00:14:27.76\00:14:30.10
Christian
literature and inviting them
00:14:30.17\00:14:33.07
to the evangelistic
meetings which would
00:14:33.13\00:14:35.00
begin that Friday
evening. They were
00:14:35.07\00:14:39.27
so happy-so
excited. We had a language
00:14:39.34\00:14:42.54
barrier with
some- of course, I don't
00:14:42.64\00:14:45.01
speak Tagalog and
they didn't speak English,
00:14:45.11\00:14:47.48
but you could tell
they were so excited.
00:14:47.52\00:14:49.95
The really
exciting- or not anymore
00:14:49.98\00:14:54.82
exciting, but- it
was nice to see them
00:14:54.89\00:14:58.36
bridging over then
to the evangelistic
00:14:58.43\00:15:00.36
meetings. We
started Friday evening. One
00:15:00.40\00:15:04.67
lady came up to me. I
was at an evangelistic
00:15:04.73\00:15:07.07
site and she
goes, "I remember you!
00:15:07.14\00:15:09.80
You gave me some
literature!" She said,
00:15:09.84\00:15:12.37
"You gave me 3 pieces
of literature!" - Oh, amen!
00:15:12.47\00:15:15.44
- Anyway, she went
to every meeting. She
00:15:15.58\00:15:20.08
didn't miss, and I
didn't see her the last
00:15:20.15\00:15:22.92
Sabbath, but she
was planning on being
00:15:23.02\00:15:24.65
baptized. It
was really exciting.
00:15:24.69\00:15:27.79
- It's powerful,
CA. I mean, this is what
00:15:28.69\00:15:30.99
we're told, right?
It's the right arm.
00:15:31.06\00:15:32.79
When the Savior
mingled with men as one who
00:15:32.86\00:15:35.70
desired their good,
He ministered to their
00:15:35.80\00:15:39.20
needs, won their
confidence, and then
00:15:39.30\00:15:40.87
He begged them,
"Follow Me." - That's the
00:15:40.90\00:15:42.50
key right there! He
begged them follow Him.
00:15:42.54\00:15:46.54
If we don't do
that- in my opinion, we've
00:15:46.61\00:15:50.88
sinned. Because what
have we created? Healthy
00:15:50.95\00:15:54.75
sinners? I mean, how is that-
00:15:54.82\00:15:56.52
- Say that one
more time. - Healthy
00:15:56.58\00:15:57.92
sinners! How is
that helpful to anybody?
00:15:57.95\00:16:01.49
It's harmful! I just
feel so excited about
00:16:01.59\00:16:07.80
the opportunity of
this beautiful bridge.
00:16:07.86\00:16:10.10
Cami, tell us
about your friend. - Yes.
00:16:10.17\00:16:13.10
Now, this is just
one of several stories
00:16:13.13\00:16:15.80
of how the AWR
360 model really works
00:16:15.84\00:16:19.44
when you bring in
the medical piece, the
00:16:19.51\00:16:21.01
evangelism, the
radio- it's incredible. There
00:16:21.08\00:16:23.98
was this couple that
were- he was actually
00:16:24.05\00:16:26.72
bedridden; he was
crippled. This caused
00:16:26.75\00:16:30.89
a lot of tension
in the marriage and
00:16:30.95\00:16:32.29
they were fighting
all the time and the
00:16:32.32\00:16:33.66
children were
upset. One day, they turned
00:16:33.69\00:16:36.19
their radio to a
program- AWR of course-and they
00:16:36.26\00:16:40.00
started to hear
about the gospel message
00:16:40.06\00:16:42.96
and Jesus' love.
They fell in love with
00:16:43.00\00:16:45.57
these messages and it
became a part of their
00:16:45.63\00:16:47.57
home. Then they
heard about this medical
00:16:47.60\00:16:51.24
clinic being in
their city and that they
00:16:51.27\00:16:53.84
needed to go.
It was free? What!?
00:16:53.88\00:16:56.34
So, they arranged
and found their way there
00:16:56.38\00:16:58.91
to be at the
medical clinic. He got the
00:16:58.98\00:17:02.15
services that he
needed. AWR also found out
00:17:02.18\00:17:05.09
that he did not
have a wheelchair. So,
00:17:05.12\00:17:07.89
just put that in
the back there for a
00:17:07.96\00:17:09.86
moment. And then this
family, while they were
00:17:09.89\00:17:12.96
there, as you
guys just shared, they
00:17:12.99\00:17:14.86
were invited to the
evangelistic series.
00:17:14.93\00:17:16.77
So not only did they
hear that on the radio
00:17:16.80\00:17:19.07
to be invited, but
then in person at the
00:17:19.13\00:17:21.54
medical- it all
was coming together for
00:17:21.60\00:17:23.30
them. "We love this so
much here at the medical
00:17:23.34\00:17:25.77
clinic! We gotta go
to this evangelistic
00:17:25.81\00:17:27.28
series! We gotta
go!" So the family, they
00:17:27.31\00:17:30.85
all get together
and every night, they
00:17:30.91\00:17:33.45
come to an evangelistic
meeting and they learn
00:17:33.52\00:17:35.52
more about Jesus.
Now, in the meantime,
00:17:35.55\00:17:38.42
their little radio
that had saved this
00:17:38.45\00:17:40.39
family by learning
about Jesus, it broke.
00:17:40.46\00:17:44.99
AWR heard about
that- the local AWR team.
00:17:45.06\00:17:47.63
So, this is
fascinating what this team does
00:17:47.66\00:17:50.23
there. They actually
have this special guy
00:17:50.30\00:17:52.90
that will take
the radio and fix the
00:17:52.93\00:17:56.07
radio JUST to
AWR, and these are the
00:17:56.10\00:17:59.31
radios that they had-
it's a brand-new radio;
00:17:59.34\00:18:02.01
it just only
plays AWR! [laughter]
00:18:02.04\00:18:05.88
So anyway, they brought
this family a new radio.
00:18:05.95\00:18:10.69
They were
thrilled, and of course, it
00:18:10.72\00:18:12.05
played the station
that they preferred
00:18:12.09\00:18:13.46
anyhow, so it was perfect! They
00:18:13.49\00:18:15.02
listened to the
radio, they're attending
00:18:15.09\00:18:16.56
the evangelistic
series, they receive
00:18:16.62\00:18:17.96
the medical help,
and what's most amazing-
00:18:17.99\00:18:20.53
if you would
actually roll, we have a clip
00:18:20.60\00:18:22.86
I'd like to play. -
A little video clip.
00:18:22.90\00:18:26.00
- Yeah. It's the
Palawan "end event;" I don't
00:18:26.03\00:18:29.74
want to say...the
baptism. If you could
00:18:29.80\00:18:31.51
play that...yeah.
Oh, this is actually of
00:18:31.57\00:18:33.88
them preaching. If we
could go- yeah, that's
00:18:33.91\00:18:36.24
okay. We can play
this, too. But what
00:18:36.34\00:18:39.21
happened was that,
you'll see in a few
00:18:39.25\00:18:41.58
moments that on the
big baptismal day...
00:18:41.65\00:18:44.09
- We're here. Let's
just- we'll leave that story
00:18:44.15\00:18:48.09
for a second; let's
talk about this. This
00:18:48.16\00:18:50.03
is 552 people
came forward just at
00:18:50.06\00:18:52.99
the appeal. -
Wow, praise God. - So,
00:18:53.06\00:18:55.83
here's the
baptism. In a moment, you're
00:18:55.90\00:18:57.93
going to see
this precious family,
00:18:57.97\00:18:59.50
because this man was
brought- a wheelchair
00:18:59.53\00:19:04.44
by AWR was
brought out into the sand,
00:19:04.51\00:19:07.34
they carried him
into the ocean, and he was
00:19:07.41\00:19:10.35
baptized. You're
going to see this in just
00:19:10.45\00:19:13.01
a moment here; it
was such a beautiful
00:19:13.05\00:19:15.02
sight. The whole
family is reunited
00:19:15.08\00:19:19.12
together in the
gospel message, and this
00:19:19.15\00:19:23.99
is all through AWR
360- the Holy Spirit
00:19:24.06\00:19:26.43
working through
AWR 360, connecting the
00:19:26.46\00:19:29.63
dots through- OK, so
maybe it was the next...
00:19:29.73\00:19:32.13
Is there a picture
with the... Yes. Here's
00:19:32.20\00:19:34.14
this precious family,
and there he is there with
00:19:34.20\00:19:36.50
his precious
radio, with his children
00:19:36.57\00:19:39.71
that are so- they
commented, "Thank you
00:19:39.77\00:19:42.34
for sharing with
us, because our family
00:19:42.44\00:19:44.35
is different now."
- Wow. - He's being
00:19:44.48\00:19:46.55
carried like that. -
Isn't that beautiful? Amen.
00:19:46.58\00:19:50.59
- This family's so
grateful, and that's just one
00:19:50.65\00:19:53.46
of the many stories
that we were able to
00:19:53.52\00:19:56.22
film about how God
is using all of these
00:19:56.29\00:19:59.66
ministry pieces
coming together-radio,
00:19:59.73\00:20:02.43
evangelism, medical-
they're all important,
00:20:02.53\00:20:05.23
and together,
they're powerful. Together,
00:20:05.33\00:20:07.24
they're mighty.
And you know what? It's
00:20:07.30\00:20:08.77
what we're told to
do in the end time.
00:20:08.80\00:20:10.37
I'm so excited to be a part of a
00:20:10.44\00:20:12.07
team that is doing
this. All facets coming
00:20:12.11\00:20:15.28
together and
this is what it does-
00:20:15.34\00:20:16.85
it produces a
whole family. - That's
00:20:16.91\00:20:18.61
beautiful. Praise
God. - Doctor, is this
00:20:18.68\00:20:20.45
the first time
that Pathway has gone
00:20:20.55\00:20:22.48
outside of the
United States for an event?
00:20:22.55\00:20:24.42
- Well, you know,
this is AWR LifeSource
00:20:24.52\00:20:27.19
mega clinic, so
although I have the same
00:20:27.22\00:20:30.56
smile, this is
not your Best Pathway
00:20:30.63\00:20:33.90
to Health. We're
really happy that Pathway
00:20:33.96\00:20:35.33
is a North American division?
00:20:35.40\00:20:37.73
But AWR is the international
opportunity to share
00:20:37.80\00:20:42.07
this around the
world. - Well done. - I told
00:20:42.10\00:20:46.11
you I have a dream
team. - You do! - There's
00:20:46.17\00:20:48.18
going to be more
opportunities as we
00:20:48.21\00:20:51.98
look to next year
for people to volunteer
00:20:52.01\00:20:53.55
internationally
from other clinics, so
00:20:53.62\00:20:55.18
stay tuned. - Praise
the Lord. - And the next
00:20:55.28\00:20:56.82
year, and the next
year... - Yeah. This
00:20:56.92\00:20:58.29
is an ongoing
thing. Well, I mean, it's
00:20:58.35\00:20:59.85
not like God said,
"The people wouldn't
00:20:59.89\00:21:01.52
need us anymore."
- Until Jesus comes.
00:21:01.59\00:21:02.92
- Did you have
volunteers that came from the
00:21:02.99\00:21:04.76
States...? - We did! We had
00:21:04.79\00:21:06.19
quite a number, and
we had quite a number
00:21:06.23\00:21:08.56
of amazing
specialists from Loma Linda.
00:21:08.63\00:21:11.10
- Heads of
departments, right, Lela? - Yes!
00:21:11.17\00:21:14.40
We had quite a
number of departments, but
00:21:14.50\00:21:15.90
we even had a neurosurgeon that
00:21:15.97\00:21:17.81
came from Loma Linda,
an ear, nose and throat
00:21:17.87\00:21:19.57
specialist, a
...gynecologist our own
00:21:19.64\00:21:22.38
Dr. Lindo came...
- Some were nurses.
00:21:22.44\00:21:24.71
- A lot of nurses,
doctors... There was
00:21:24.81\00:21:27.05
a doctor that
came from Australia, a
00:21:27.15\00:21:28.72
dermatologist...
They came from all over
00:21:28.75\00:21:30.69
the world,
actually, to participate. - So
00:21:30.72\00:21:33.39
you covered more
patients with less
00:21:33.46\00:21:34.79
people. - That's
right. I mean, that's never
00:21:34.82\00:21:37.39
happened, ever.
300 volunteers total.
00:21:37.43\00:21:40.96
That included all
the non-medical people,
00:21:41.00\00:21:42.33
too. The local doctors
participated, the local
00:21:42.36\00:21:47.60
nurses- yeah. It
was a beautiful time.
00:21:47.67\00:21:50.17
- What was the
response from local government
00:21:50.24\00:21:52.87
after having seen
this? 'Cause being on the
00:21:52.94\00:21:55.14
board of your
best, I know what you go
00:21:55.24\00:21:56.61
through in the
States. - Yeah. - But this
00:21:56.68\00:21:58.28
is a whole
different ball game. - It was
00:21:58.31\00:22:00.35
phenomenal, wasn't
it, Kyle? I mean, we went
00:22:00.45\00:22:01.92
there and met at
the mayor's office, and
00:22:01.98\00:22:03.79
remember what had
just happened-I think
00:22:03.85\00:22:05.39
it was a couple weeks
before-there were some
00:22:05.45\00:22:06.79
issues
happening. - Yes; a mayor in
00:22:06.82\00:22:08.86
the Philippines
had been assassinated.
00:22:08.89\00:22:10.23
- Oh, wow. - Two
mayors, actually,
00:22:10.26\00:22:11.59
just before. - But we
got to meet the mayor,
00:22:11.63\00:22:13.29
and he brought us
in and was so thankful.
00:22:13.36\00:22:15.26
I mean, all-
actually, we met several council
00:22:15.33\00:22:16.83
people, city
councilman... They were all so
00:22:16.87\00:22:19.03
thankful! "Why are
you guys here doing
00:22:19.07\00:22:20.70
this for us in our
city?" - And he even
00:22:20.74\00:22:22.67
came and spoke for
the special dinner. The
00:22:22.70\00:22:25.17
mayor came and they
were very, very happy
00:22:25.21\00:22:27.58
for the services.
- It's amazing, the
00:22:27.64\00:22:29.64
impact that medical
evangelism- all that
00:22:29.68\00:22:32.11
has on the city
officials. - Yes, yes.
00:22:32.18\00:22:34.35
- It opens doors.
- The department of
00:22:34.45\00:22:35.85
health- actually,
the medical director
00:22:35.92\00:22:37.45
for the department
of health is actually a
00:22:37.49\00:22:38.85
Seventh-Day Adventist,
and he used HIS position
00:22:38.92\00:22:41.06
to also help, as
well. - Praise the Lord.
00:22:41.09\00:22:43.39
- God is good. - I need
to say one thing. - Mhm.
00:22:43.46\00:22:46.70
- Kyle. Look at
his face. [laughter]
00:22:47.90\00:22:52.07
And my face. - Do not look at my
face. -AWR does not grow beards.
00:22:52.13\00:22:57.14
- Indeed. [more
laughter] But the General
00:22:57.21\00:23:01.84
Conference is going
to Battle Creek to do a
00:23:01.94\00:23:04.25
special pioneer if
they want us to live like
00:23:04.31\00:23:08.98
the pioneers. So
I have 6 weeks and
00:23:09.05\00:23:11.02
Kathy says, "Shave it
off." - Indeed. I guess I'll
00:23:11.09\00:23:13.86
never make it to
the General Conference;
00:23:13.89\00:23:15.32
I can't grow a
beard. - I would like to
00:23:15.42\00:23:17.13
let the president
of AWR can grow a real
00:23:17.19\00:23:18.53
beard. This is three
weeks in; this is mine.
00:23:18.56\00:23:20.10
This is not a real
beard, CA. [laughter]
00:23:20.16\00:23:22.66
I'm just in awe
of Duane's beard. - I
00:23:22.73\00:23:24.87
said the same
thing to him. Very much
00:23:24.90\00:23:27.10
in awe; well done. -
We're following Elder
00:23:27.14\00:23:29.14
Wilson on this
one. - Sue had this one
00:23:29.24\00:23:33.91
story about this
young man who preached,
00:23:33.98\00:23:35.88
and he came- he'd
only been baptized just
00:23:35.94\00:23:38.21
recently. He got
tricked into coming,
00:23:38.25\00:23:40.75
he thought he
was going to go just
00:23:40.82\00:23:42.15
have fun on the
beach, and all of
00:23:42.18\00:23:43.95
a sudden he's
preaching these meetings.
00:23:43.99\00:23:45.62
- I love this
story. So we're talking
00:23:45.65\00:23:47.82
about the
evangelism portion that came
00:23:47.86\00:23:49.96
right after the
medical clinic. We had a
00:23:50.03\00:23:52.09
group of young adults
come in from Australia.
00:23:52.13\00:23:55.10
There were some
others that came, as well,
00:23:55.13\00:23:56.80
but almost half the
team was these young adults
00:23:56.83\00:23:59.07
from Australia.
And this young man, 21,
00:23:59.13\00:24:01.70
he started
preaching, and it wasn't long
00:24:01.74\00:24:07.21
down the line that
he came to me and he
00:24:07.24\00:24:08.98
said, "I cannot
preach that Sabbath message."
00:24:09.01\00:24:11.35
And I said, "Why
is that?" He said,
00:24:11.45\00:24:14.65
"Because I'll feel
like a hypocrite, because
00:24:14.68\00:24:18.25
I'm not convinced on
the Sabbath, myself."
00:24:18.32\00:24:21.12
He had just been
baptized March before
00:24:21.19\00:24:23.96
that. This was in
July, so that was March.
00:24:24.06\00:24:26.43
- And tell just a
little bit about his life
00:24:26.56\00:24:27.90
before he was
baptized- that he went through
00:24:27.93\00:24:30.93
a lot of
struggles. - Yes. He had a lot
00:24:30.97\00:24:32.53
of addictions,
party type- just a lot of
00:24:32.60\00:24:36.94
stuff that this
young man was going through
00:24:37.01\00:24:39.61
before he was
baptized. Anyway, he didn't
00:24:39.67\00:24:43.08
want to preach
the Sabbath message.
00:24:43.14\00:24:44.58
I said, "You know
what? Here's what you do.
00:24:44.65\00:24:46.85
You just go out
there and you read the
00:24:46.92\00:24:48.62
script." - The
Holy Spirit led her.
00:24:48.68\00:24:50.82
- She's an expert
at this. - You don't
00:24:50.89\00:24:52.65
have to say, "I
believe this," or anything.
00:24:52.72\00:24:56.09
You just go read the
script to the people."
00:24:56.16\00:24:58.46
And he's like,
"Okay. I think I can do it.
00:24:58.53\00:25:01.00
I'll do it." So he
goes. When he returns,
00:25:01.06\00:25:04.80
I'm able to talk
to him and I said, "So
00:25:04.87\00:25:06.90
how did it go?"
And here was his words.
00:25:06.94\00:25:09.97
"I am more than
convinced about the
00:25:10.01\00:25:12.61
Sabbath." - Amen.
- That is amazing.
00:25:12.64\00:25:17.98
- Praise the
Lord. - Yes. And just so
00:25:18.05\00:25:20.42
many of our
team- I mean, one older
00:25:20.52\00:25:23.59
lady that was
preaching said, "I now feel
00:25:23.65\00:25:26.19
alive. I feel
alive." - Amen. Evangelism
00:25:26.22\00:25:30.83
changes not only
those we're preaching to,
00:25:30.89\00:25:32.83
but our own
lives as we preach the
00:25:32.93\00:25:35.20
Word of God. - The
young man was hearing
00:25:35.26\00:25:37.17
things he didn't
believe out of his own mouth
00:25:37.23\00:25:38.90
and he started
believing what he was hearing.
00:25:39.00\00:25:40.34
- That's right! -
You know, though, what's
00:25:40.37\00:25:41.77
amazing is when
you do open yourself up
00:25:41.84\00:25:43.47
to preach evangelistic
series, which I highly
00:25:43.51\00:25:45.77
recommend to
everyone, that you are speaking
00:25:45.81\00:25:48.98
biblical truth; it
is coming through you.
00:25:49.04\00:25:51.71
The Holy Spirit is
working through you.
00:25:51.78\00:25:53.48
How can that not
change you? Every time I
00:25:53.58\00:25:56.65
preach a series, my
conviction just goes
00:25:56.75\00:25:58.62
deeper and deeper
and deeper. I think that
00:25:58.69\00:26:01.29
all of us
Christians need to be out there
00:26:01.36\00:26:05.59
winning souls. -
I would just like to
00:26:05.66\00:26:07.66
say that even
for me as a pastor.
00:26:07.76\00:26:09.63
I was in Zambia,
I got to preach; it
00:26:09.73\00:26:11.73
was a beautiful
experience, preaching
00:26:11.80\00:26:13.20
under the stars
there. But I'm telling you-
00:26:13.27\00:26:14.97
it reaffirmed my
faith. - Amen. - So anybody
00:26:15.00\00:26:17.84
that's watching us
today, I would just
00:26:17.91\00:26:20.11
encourage you to
take the opportunity.
00:26:20.18\00:26:22.98
God may be giving
you an opportunity to
00:26:23.04\00:26:24.85
preach somewhere. Take
that opportunity because
00:26:24.91\00:26:26.78
it will strengthen
your faith- or give
00:26:26.85\00:26:28.38
a Bible study.
When we do those things,
00:26:28.45\00:26:29.92
that's really total
member involvement- to do
00:26:29.98\00:26:31.99
something for God.
- You see, AWR hires
00:26:32.09\00:26:34.52
only evangelists.
[laughter] - Very true.
00:26:34.59\00:26:38.96
I think this is
one of the strongest
00:26:39.03\00:26:40.90
inducements for
someone to get involved in
00:26:40.96\00:26:42.80
this. The fact
that 1) as you helped
00:26:42.86\00:26:45.20
convert others, you
will reconvert yourself.
00:26:45.23\00:26:47.34
As you light a
fire in their lives, you
00:26:47.40\00:26:49.27
will light that same
fire in your own life,
00:26:49.34\00:26:51.11
THEN you will find
that it's an addictive
00:26:51.21\00:26:52.91
thing. You do it
once, you want to do it
00:26:52.97\00:26:54.74
again and again.
So if your spiritual
00:26:54.81\00:26:56.71
experience is fatiguing,
running a little low, this may
00:26:56.78\00:27:00.45
be an excellent way
to jumpstart your own
00:27:00.52\00:27:02.98
salvation
experience; by doing for others,
00:27:03.02\00:27:05.49
you will do for
yourself. - And you
00:27:05.55\00:27:06.89
just get to live on a
natural high. [laughter]
00:27:06.92\00:27:10.43
- I tell ya- their
feet don't touch the ground.
00:27:10.53\00:27:12.73
- You'd want to
get an energizer bunny.
00:27:12.79\00:27:15.33
- All these?
00:27:15.40\00:27:17.47
- No, no; you're
still the ultra-energizer.
00:27:17.57\00:27:20.24
- Right, right. I
agree with you, Kyle. She's
00:27:20.30\00:27:22.67
the ultra-bunny.
- Last year, we took
00:27:22.74\00:27:27.81
Japanese- how
many did we take? - 48
00:27:27.88\00:27:33.11
I think 48. - 48
of them came into all
00:27:33.21\00:27:34.98
the Philippines
to preach and they
00:27:35.02\00:27:36.35
got excited and they
went back home and preached
00:27:36.38\00:27:37.72
this- they never
preached before, and so that's
00:27:37.75\00:27:39.89
what we did to
jumpstart the work
00:27:39.95\00:27:42.09
in Japan this
year! We did 162 meetings
00:27:42.19\00:27:45.93
there- first
time in the history of
00:27:45.99\00:27:47.86
the country. -
Wow. - And so we decided
00:27:47.96\00:27:49.90
to do something
for China. We had 40...
00:27:49.96\00:27:54.20
Do you remember
the number? 47? - 47.
00:27:54.24\00:27:57.27
- 47 Chinese
young adults, Kyle, from
00:27:57.34\00:28:01.64
Meilin, China.
China!- who came and preached
00:28:01.71\00:28:06.61
the first meetings. -
Praise God. - In Mindoro.
00:28:06.68\00:28:08.42
And then we found
something else out
00:28:08.48\00:28:09.92
there. When we
were there, there were-
00:28:09.98\00:28:13.89
boy. For 49
years, there are these
00:28:13.96\00:28:19.43
communist rebels. -
This is an incredible
00:28:19.53\00:28:21.50
story. This is incredible.
- Yes. - Do we want to
00:28:21.56\00:28:24.83
roll the tape while
we're talking about it? - Sure.
00:28:24.90\00:28:26.47
Right. Here they are.
49 years, these rebels
00:28:26.50\00:28:30.04
have been fighting
the government. They're
00:28:30.11\00:28:31.97
communist and
they've been trying to take
00:28:32.07\00:28:33.88
over the
government. They supported the
00:28:33.94\00:28:35.44
outside- - Some impressive
00:28:35.51\00:28:36.85
guns they're
taking out. - Yeah, yeah.
00:28:36.88\00:28:38.21
It's just
amazing. - It's the real
00:28:38.25\00:28:39.58
deal. - It IS
the real deal. Now,
00:28:39.61\00:28:41.45
there's this place
called Zigzag. Is that
00:28:41.52\00:28:44.09
you, Cami, in
front of these guys with
00:28:44.15\00:28:45.75
masks? - Yes. - Were
you scared? - Actually-
00:28:45.82\00:28:48.12
- Should we pause
it, or? It kind of went-
00:28:48.19\00:28:50.53
okay, we'll just keep
going. Yeah, so Zigzag is
00:28:50.59\00:28:53.90
a spot on the
island where it zigzags-
00:28:53.96\00:28:57.73
the road zigzags,
and they would position
00:28:57.83\00:29:00.17
themselves at the
top of that zigzag.
00:29:00.24\00:29:02.97
You can imagine
what happens when the
00:29:03.04\00:29:04.47
enemy comes. They
can easily take them out.
00:29:04.54\00:29:07.61
- They call it the
Killing Fields. -Yeah.
00:29:07.71\00:29:09.44
And this is the
mindset. But who can change
00:29:09.51\00:29:12.25
that kind of
mindset? - God. - You bet. So,
00:29:12.31\00:29:14.88
what we found
out is that in those
00:29:14.98\00:29:18.85
mountains, they are
listening to their radios.
00:29:18.89\00:29:22.66
To AWR! - A year ago-
a year and three months-
00:29:22.72\00:29:27.06
we started
broadcasting first time ever. We
00:29:27.13\00:29:29.33
had no Adventists
up there. And all of
00:29:29.36\00:29:31.67
a sudden, we have 88 villages!
00:29:31.73\00:29:35.90
- 88 villages! -
88 whole villages with
00:29:35.97\00:29:40.34
Bible workers
studying, and many of these
00:29:40.41\00:29:42.98
are the rebels!
They're listening. - They're
00:29:43.08\00:29:46.72
laying down
their machine guns and
00:29:46.82\00:29:49.55
picking up the
gospel stuff. - They give
00:29:49.65\00:29:52.09
an AK-47 for a
Bible. - It's awesome.
00:29:52.15\00:29:56.12
of the prophecy? -
Yes! - Just this last
00:29:56.19\00:30:00.16
Sabbath, I was at
a church and I was
00:30:00.23\00:30:01.83
telling the
story. There was a lady
00:30:01.90\00:30:04.03
there that's
from the Philippines.
00:30:04.07\00:30:06.13
She was totally amazed
by it. She said, "in all
00:30:06.20\00:30:10.57
of these
years-these 49 years-no ministry
00:30:10.64\00:30:14.14
has been able to
penetrate that group."
00:30:14.21\00:30:16.64
- Amen. - You
know why? - Tell me.
00:30:17.98\00:30:20.48
[laughter] -
Medical evangelism. - Yes.
00:30:20.55\00:30:24.32
That's a big piece
of it. - Every year
00:30:24.42\00:30:25.75
when we go
there-we've gone there several
00:30:25.79\00:30:27.12
years-and we'll
give the rebels money
00:30:27.16\00:30:28.69
to buy medicine. We
send medicines up to
00:30:28.76\00:30:30.29
them. We're
building relationships and
00:30:30.33\00:30:32.19
friends. So now,
we start broadcasting
00:30:32.26\00:30:34.43
medical and Bible, and
they're listening, and-
00:30:34.46\00:30:36.97
- If that's not
the entering wedge,
00:30:37.03\00:30:38.37
I don't know what
is. - Thank you. - It
00:30:38.40\00:30:39.77
changes their
lives. - Amen. - That is
00:30:39.80\00:30:41.14
awesome. - This
is a hard place. You
00:30:41.17\00:30:43.17
wouldn't go up there,
would you, Duane? - No!
00:30:43.24\00:30:45.01
No, no.
[laughter] - He's actually
00:30:45.11\00:30:49.24
serious! Actually,
the colonel in charge
00:30:49.31\00:30:53.55
of the island-the
military colonel from
00:30:53.65\00:30:55.22
the Philippine
army- he said, "This is
00:30:55.28\00:30:58.25
so exciting to
see what is happening.
00:30:58.32\00:30:59.85
They're sick and
tired of being killed-
00:30:59.95\00:31:02.72
being shot at
all these years. And
00:31:02.82\00:31:05.23
they're shooting at
their own people! They're
00:31:05.29\00:31:07.23
coming out- they'll
massacre the soldiers.
00:31:07.36\00:31:10.63
They'll trap them,
and then the soldiers
00:31:10.70\00:31:12.53
are sitting there.
There are helicopters
00:31:12.60\00:31:14.50
up there,
gunships, and find them out
00:31:14.60\00:31:15.94
in the open and massacre them.
00:31:15.97\00:31:17.31
They spent this
terrible 49 years of this
00:31:17.34\00:31:19.41
battle, this war,
going on. They had
00:31:19.51\00:31:22.04
one purpose- it
was to overthrow the
00:31:22.11\00:31:23.45
government! All
of a sudden, wow.
00:31:23.48\00:31:26.61
- Now, these
people are laying down
00:31:26.68\00:31:28.92
these machine
guns, so you can imagine
00:31:28.98\00:31:30.39
that the government
army is thrilled for
00:31:30.42\00:31:34.32
AWR. - It's so
amazing to me how, again, when
00:31:34.42\00:31:38.39
we offer people when
we start by offering their
00:31:38.46\00:31:41.23
physical needs-their
felt needs, if you will-
00:31:41.26\00:31:46.17
that all of a sudden,
they realize, "Oh, these
00:31:46.20\00:31:48.47
people are for
real! They care about me
00:31:48.54\00:31:51.17
in other ways,"
and they're willing to
00:31:51.24\00:31:52.77
listen when we give
them spiritual help,
00:31:52.81\00:31:55.14
as well. It's so
beautiful. - While
00:31:55.18\00:31:57.81
you share, let's
roll that video of the
00:31:57.91\00:31:59.68
medical team. -
You should see what it
00:31:59.78\00:32:01.65
took the medical team
to get to that village.
00:32:01.68\00:32:04.55
Now, we went there via
helicopter. - Fortunately,
00:32:04.59\00:32:09.36
we found an
Adventist helicopter that took
00:32:09.42\00:32:11.56
us in. - So here
we go. So this is...
00:32:11.63\00:32:13.90
- We had a
military escort taking us up
00:32:13.96\00:32:15.43
to the mountains. -
So this is a village
00:32:15.50\00:32:16.83
surrounded by all
that jungle. - Well,
00:32:16.87\00:32:18.20
this is a different
village. I don't- hmm.
00:32:18.23\00:32:20.20
We need the medical-
- I think, maybe, we'll
00:32:20.27\00:32:23.00
get there. - Okay.
00:32:23.10\00:32:25.94
- These are people
coming to the meetings
00:32:27.54\00:32:28.88
here. - Okay,
this is actually- yeah.
00:32:28.91\00:32:30.25
People walking to
the meetings. They would
00:32:30.28\00:32:31.61
walk miles and
miles just to come every
00:32:31.65\00:32:34.08
single night. One of
the Chinese speakers-
00:32:34.18\00:32:36.62
he was so
overwhelmed and in awe of how
00:32:36.69\00:32:38.89
God was using him.
There were literally
00:32:38.95\00:32:41.06
dozens and dozens
of villagers that would
00:32:41.12\00:32:43.12
walk. One group of
them- 20 kilometers
00:32:43.22\00:32:47.50
every night.
[Wow.] - So- yes. If we
00:32:47.60\00:32:50.67
could roll the clip
of the medical doctors.
00:32:50.73\00:32:54.47
I think it was
titled "Doctors," maybe,
00:32:54.57\00:32:56.00
of them reaching
the rebels. Here we go.
00:32:56.10\00:32:59.41
- There they
are. - This is the day
00:32:59.51\00:33:01.18
where we were
all coming together.
00:33:01.24\00:33:03.11
This is the
volunteer medical team there
00:33:03.18\00:33:05.55
in Mindoro, and
this- it works. It just
00:33:05.58\00:33:09.38
works together.
Here's the government army.
00:33:09.48\00:33:12.99
- We had a
military escort. - We had
00:33:13.05\00:33:15.32
prayer with them before
we started. The soldiers
00:33:15.36\00:33:19.03
came and took our
hands and we prayed
00:33:19.09\00:33:20.46
together. - It
was beautiful. - They
00:33:20.56\00:33:22.63
had about 100
villagers coming down.
00:33:22.70\00:33:25.50
- So by hand,
they had to take all of
00:33:25.60\00:33:26.94
the medical supplies in.
00:33:26.97\00:33:28.40
- Guess how long
it took them to walk.
00:33:28.44\00:33:30.27
Not only these hundred
quarters that came down
00:33:30.37\00:33:32.01
to bring up the
supplies but also the medical
00:33:32.07\00:33:34.08
staff. - They said
if you go, probably
00:33:34.11\00:33:35.74
it'd take about
four hours. We got
00:33:35.81\00:33:37.48
to thinking,
"That's not going to work.
00:33:37.55\00:33:38.88
That's too far." -
No. - And then all of a
00:33:38.91\00:33:40.55
sudden, we find out...
- Look it- this is just
00:33:40.58\00:33:42.12
the beginning. - It
turns out it's 10 hours
00:33:42.18\00:33:46.35
to hike. That's how
long it took, 'cause
00:33:46.39\00:33:48.49
it's wet? - This isn't like
00:33:48.56\00:33:50.33
a normal little
hike. This is where you're
00:33:50.43\00:33:52.99
up to your
knees. - This is not a
00:33:53.06\00:33:54.40
well-manicured trail. [laughter]
00:33:54.46\00:33:55.90
This is our
medical team. - These are
00:33:55.96\00:33:59.70
our doctors- that's
right. Here they are
00:33:59.77\00:34:01.20
giving them
services and the medicines,
00:34:01.27\00:34:02.60
healing them so
that then, when they are
00:34:02.67\00:34:05.01
out of pain, then
they can take in the gospel
00:34:05.07\00:34:07.24
message. - Yes.
It was beautiful to
00:34:07.31\00:34:10.21
witness that. - That
is just jaw-dropping.
00:34:10.28\00:34:13.45
Isn't that just
incredible? - And
00:34:13.52\00:34:15.78
then, to top it off,
Duane had a wonderful
00:34:15.85\00:34:19.15
worship moment we
had there with them and
00:34:19.22\00:34:21.86
some singing,
and they did a little
00:34:21.92\00:34:23.53
performance for us
as a welcome and brought
00:34:23.56\00:34:26.16
us a little food, and
it was wonderful. But what
00:34:26.23\00:34:28.53
topped off the day then was-
00:34:28.60\00:34:30.37
- Yeah. It was
thrilling. Actually, for half an
00:34:30.43\00:34:33.57
hour, we had a
river. They said, "We'll
00:34:33.60\00:34:35.70
walk down," then
they got to looking at us
00:34:35.77\00:34:37.11
and they felt sorry
for us, so they had to
00:34:37.14\00:34:39.27
? their... and
they dammed it up.
00:34:39.31\00:34:41.38
They said, "Well,
have the baptism here."
00:34:41.48\00:34:43.48
- A beautiful
little pool. - So we went
00:34:43.58\00:34:45.55
to this small pool.
It worked out just great.
00:34:45.61\00:34:47.32
I was in when
they baptized- yeah.
00:34:47.42\00:34:49.38
60- another 200 a
couple days later.
00:34:49.45\00:34:52.82
That day, we
baptized 5 of their generals.
00:34:52.85\00:34:55.96
- Wait- say
that again? - 5 rebel
00:34:56.02\00:34:58.43
communist generals.
- Wait- say that again?
00:34:58.49\00:35:01.00
- 5 rebel
generals. - God is good.
00:35:01.06\00:35:06.23
- God can do
anything. He wants every soul
00:35:06.33\00:35:08.67
and He's proving it.
- They laid down their
00:35:08.74\00:35:10.81
machine guns and
picked up a Bible. - Praise
00:35:10.87\00:35:12.34
the Lord. - Can you
imagine that? - Now,
00:35:12.41\00:35:14.11
you did that
baptism? - Yeah. - Some sense
00:35:14.18\00:35:17.08
of what was
going on in your heart?
00:35:17.18\00:35:18.68
- Oh, just
amazing. - I'm shaking under
00:35:18.75\00:35:20.58
this robe because- I'm
glad I got this big thing
00:35:20.65\00:35:22.22
under - You see this?
00:35:22.28\00:35:23.62
and you realize where
you're at and I figured
00:35:23.65\00:35:24.99
out that these
rebels, every time- we've been
00:35:25.02\00:35:27.09
there many times,
and we always realized
00:35:27.16\00:35:29.66
that our life is in
danger, so we're kind
00:35:29.76\00:35:32.56
of giving the rebels
medicine so they won't
00:35:32.66\00:35:34.43
shoot us!
[laughter] And all of a sudden,
00:35:34.50\00:35:40.74
we're broadcasting.
They're hearing the
00:35:40.80\00:35:42.47
health message, they're
hearing the Bible message,
00:35:42.54\00:35:44.44
and their hearts are
being changed. There's
00:35:44.54\00:35:47.01
power in the
works. I did not feel at
00:35:47.08\00:35:49.54
all- when I was there,
I didn't feel any danger
00:35:49.61\00:35:52.41
at all. Really,
that whole village had
00:35:52.51\00:35:54.78
become so, just
grateful for the medicine,
00:35:54.85\00:35:58.45
grateful for the
gospel, grateful for the
00:35:58.52\00:36:00.92
baptisms... - Their
whole lives are changed.
00:36:00.96\00:36:02.29
You can't believe
this, but- you guys
00:36:02.32\00:36:04.16
tell him about what
happened- how peccant
00:36:04.26\00:36:06.70
they are. - Yeah.
There are several things;
00:36:06.80\00:36:10.47
it breaks my
heart, but this is before
00:36:10.53\00:36:13.77
they knew the
gospel, of course. They're
00:36:13.84\00:36:15.87
allowed to have 3
children. If they have
00:36:15.94\00:36:19.04
a fourth... Oh, I
can't even say it.
00:36:19.11\00:36:21.68
- They bury the child
alive. They dig a hole
00:36:21.74\00:36:25.38
and bury it
alive. Just before we got
00:36:25.45\00:36:27.75
there, we had some
of our medical people
00:36:27.78\00:36:29.25
up there. - Rescued
one baby. They wife-swapped
00:36:29.32\00:36:35.26
for, I think it
was, 400 pesos. If they
00:36:35.32\00:36:37.23
want to exchange
wives, they just pay 400.
00:36:37.33\00:36:39.49
They marry at 13 years
old, start having babies.
00:36:39.53\00:36:43.03
So there's many
generations that have
00:36:43.10\00:36:45.40
been living up
there now within those 49
00:36:45.47\00:36:46.80
years when you
think it through. There's
00:36:46.84\00:36:50.01
many that've just
sort of been ingrained
00:36:50.04\00:36:52.07
with this- but no
matter, the gospel
00:36:52.14\00:36:55.11
message still reaches
those; it still pricks
00:36:55.18\00:36:57.15
their hearts.?
00:36:57.21\00:36:59.08
That's because Jesus is
the answer to everything!
00:36:59.18\00:37:00.78
- It was so
exciting. Was it you, Duane,
00:37:00.82\00:37:03.15
that asked, "How many
of you-" all the people
00:37:03.18\00:37:05.82
from the village
have gathered around and
00:37:05.92\00:37:08.39
I think you
asked, "How many of you
00:37:08.46\00:37:09.82
have come to know
Jesus by listening to the
00:37:09.86\00:37:12.29
radio?" - All
their hands raised.
00:37:12.39\00:37:17.23
- It's powerful. -
This makes me think.
00:37:17.30\00:37:19.23
Just today, I
had one of my friends
00:37:19.30\00:37:21.50
text me and she has
a problem with a mental
00:37:21.54\00:37:23.91
illness. So many
times, we think, "There are
00:37:23.97\00:37:26.34
certain things that
just can't be healed.
00:37:26.41\00:37:28.24
Jesus can't fix
those kinds of things. It's
00:37:28.31\00:37:31.78
just whatever it
is." But to hear this,
00:37:31.85\00:37:34.48
to hear a
complete transformation of
00:37:34.55\00:37:37.82
an entire
community... Jesus can change
00:37:37.85\00:37:41.22
anyone. There's
someone listening right now
00:37:41.26\00:37:44.43
that you think,
"Jesus can't change you."
00:37:44.46\00:37:46.36
Jesus can change
you. - Absolutely. Amen.
00:37:46.43\00:37:49.23
- And Jesus can-
I'm sorry, Kyle, but
00:37:49.30\00:37:51.70
He can change situations.
Not individuals can impact
00:37:51.73\00:37:56.20
situations, can impact
communities, can impact
00:37:56.30\00:37:58.87
societies, can
change countries... It is
00:37:58.91\00:38:04.05
without end-it is
limitless. - He's pulling
00:38:04.11\00:38:07.22
down strongholds.
- Precisely. But it's
00:38:07.28\00:38:09.48
not one village.
It's 88. [laughter]
00:38:09.55\00:38:15.02
- Now, those 88
also need new churches.
00:38:15.06\00:38:17.89
Keep that in
mind. - They just want
00:38:17.99\00:38:21.30
roofing.
$4,000, I think. - Kyle,
00:38:21.33\00:38:24.70
you actually get
to talk. I always cut
00:38:24.77\00:38:26.33
you off here. - It's
such a powerful team.
00:38:26.37\00:38:28.14
No, but when they were
up there, I was worried
00:38:28.20\00:38:29.90
about them. I was
texting, "Are you guys
00:38:29.97\00:38:31.61
okay? Are you safe
with all that stuff
00:38:31.67\00:38:33.17
going on in the
rebel territory?" But you
00:38:33.21\00:38:34.84
know what, I was
thinking about it.
00:38:34.91\00:38:36.58
That's really
what Jesus did for us.
00:38:36.64\00:38:38.28
I mean, this
world was so dangerous,
00:38:38.31\00:38:40.62
and He came down
from the heavenly courts
00:38:40.65\00:38:42.88
to this world
where there was all this
00:38:42.92\00:38:44.42
suffering and
death. He gave up His life
00:38:44.45\00:38:46.79
for us. How much
is that- that's a call
00:38:46.89\00:38:49.89
for us to go and
just as Jesus did.
00:38:49.92\00:38:52.99
- Even to the
places that aren't quite
00:38:53.06\00:38:54.60
so pristine. -
'Cause that's what Jesus
00:38:54.66\00:38:58.10
taught at. - That's
right. I truly believe
00:38:58.13\00:38:59.80
He will protect us
until our work is done.
00:38:59.87\00:39:04.77
We're safe. It's
okay. Yeah- march forward!
00:39:04.84\00:39:08.84
- We're safe. We're
really safe. - Amen.
00:39:08.91\00:39:12.21
- Amen! - That's
right. - Another exciting
00:39:12.25\00:39:16.79
one of those 88 villages
is called the Isla Verde,
00:39:16.85\00:39:20.76
the Green Island. A
year ago, as we were
00:39:20.86\00:39:24.26
all leaving
Mindoro after preaching, we
00:39:24.33\00:39:27.40
get Robert Du
Layar, our AWR contact
00:39:27.50\00:39:30.33
there-our?
producer He got a phone
00:39:30.40\00:39:32.93
call, and it was
this wife of a chief. She
00:39:33.00\00:39:36.64
said, "You know
what? We've been getting
00:39:36.71\00:39:38.87
your radio messages
over here." Robert's
00:39:38.94\00:39:41.51
like, "What!?"
'Cause we didn't know that
00:39:41.58\00:39:43.21
the radio
airwaves were reaching that
00:39:43.28\00:39:45.01
far. See, I think
God takes them a little
00:39:45.08\00:39:47.62
extra farther... as we go. - So
00:39:47.65\00:39:51.29
this woman, she was
so- she said, "Please,
00:39:51.39\00:39:53.09
can you send us Bible
workers to our island?"
00:39:53.15\00:39:54.72
Well, long story
short, the AWR team had the
00:39:54.82\00:39:57.89
privilege of
going to that island and
00:39:57.96\00:40:00.80
witnessing
baptisms- a mass baptism which
00:40:00.83\00:40:04.30
you were able to
baptize many of them!
00:40:04.33\00:40:06.43
This has never been done on this
00:40:06.50\00:40:07.84
island before. So
Bible workers were sent,
00:40:07.87\00:40:09.80
AWR radio was
playing, and then we had an
00:40:09.87\00:40:12.27
evangelistic
series and then we came
00:40:12.34\00:40:14.34
and there was
incredible baptisms-awesome.
00:40:14.41\00:40:16.64
Another island,
really quick- it's
00:40:16.71\00:40:19.11
Tanauan. This
little island- this
00:40:19.15\00:40:22.22
is so remote that these
people only can get their
00:40:22.28\00:40:27.86
water by leaving
the island in a boat-
00:40:27.92\00:40:30.13
can you imagine
this? And the women do it;
00:40:30.23\00:40:31.79
it's the women-they
get in the boat, they
00:40:31.86\00:40:35.03
take their heavy
container, they go get water,
00:40:35.13\00:40:37.93
come back, then
they've got to carry it into
00:40:38.00\00:40:39.53
the camp. Anyway, they have been
00:40:39.57\00:40:42.80
listening to AWR. And
actually, a lot of rebels
00:40:42.87\00:40:44.97
will take refuge
in this area, we found
00:40:45.07\00:40:46.91
out, as well. AWR
is reaching them. So
00:40:46.98\00:40:50.08
much so that only
the month before we
00:40:50.15\00:40:52.98
arrived, they had
a baptism, and their
00:40:53.08\00:40:56.72
whole community
is now Seventh-Day
00:40:56.79\00:40:58.42
Adventists and they
built their own church.
00:40:58.49\00:40:59.89
Would you- I
think- did they show the
00:40:59.95\00:41:01.29
video? You can see
that. This is Tanaan.
00:41:01.32\00:41:06.53
It's just a small
little community right there,
00:41:06.59\00:41:09.23
but they're
reaching out because many
00:41:09.40\00:41:11.63
other islands
surround them! The idea is
00:41:11.70\00:41:15.04
going to
be-they're praying for this,
00:41:15.10\00:41:16.67
so join us in prayer
and support-that only-
00:41:16.74\00:41:20.11
I think it's 3 or 4
kilometers away-there is
00:41:20.18\00:41:23.61
a spring of water
where, if they could
00:41:23.68\00:41:26.15
just have a
tube- - Pipe. - A pipe.
00:41:26.18\00:41:30.59
Thank you. A pipe!
[laughter] They can
00:41:30.62\00:41:33.25
then get the water.
See, this is how the
00:41:33.32\00:41:35.52
woman's carrying
it in from the boat.
00:41:35.56\00:41:36.89
Can get the water
to the front of the
00:41:36.93\00:41:40.53
island there and
at the church point
00:41:40.56\00:41:42.43
where they're
going to play AWR radio
00:41:42.46\00:41:44.67
all the time,
they're going to bring the
00:41:44.73\00:41:46.80
water in with the
pipe from the spring at
00:41:46.90\00:41:49.30
the church, and
it's going to be the
00:41:49.40\00:41:51.14
Seventh-Day
Adventist AWR mission spot
00:41:51.24\00:41:54.54
for that whole
island! Only $8,000 and we can
00:41:54.61\00:41:58.18
bring them
water. Not only water-
00:41:58.25\00:42:00.22
physical water-spiritual
water. - Praise God.
00:42:00.28\00:42:04.55
- When you drink of the
spirit of life, you know
00:42:04.62\00:42:06.55
you will never thirst
again. - Exactly! So, things
00:42:06.62\00:42:09.52
like this are just
happening all over. It's so
00:42:09.62\00:42:11.59
exciting. Now, we
must fit in India. Go for
00:42:11.69\00:42:14.76
it. I want to hear
all about it. - Kyle
00:42:14.86\00:42:17.80
and I were just
there, and Sue, in India.
00:42:17.83\00:42:19.80
Thrilling things
are- next year's focus
00:42:19.87\00:42:22.44
of the General
Conference is India. India is-
00:42:22.50\00:42:25.07
challenging is one
point. 3 billion people. Many
00:42:25.17\00:42:28.64
of them-most of
them- do not know Jesus.
00:42:28.74\00:42:31.01
So we were thinking,
"How can we do this?"
00:42:31.05\00:42:33.65
I've ordered
2,000 video projectors
00:42:33.75\00:42:36.72
to have 2,000
meetings. But before we do the
00:42:36.82\00:42:39.29
meetings, we're going
to do health evangelism
00:42:39.35\00:42:41.92
in 2,000 villages. [Amen.] We're
00:42:41.99\00:42:45.29
thinking, "Is that
really going to work?"
00:42:45.36\00:42:46.70
And then Kyle,
we were just there-
00:42:46.76\00:42:49.10
Spicer at our
university. Something really
00:42:49.13\00:42:52.17
exciting happened that
kind of gave us a lot of
00:42:52.30\00:42:54.07
hope for India.
- That's right. So
00:42:54.14\00:42:56.04
we were there last-
well, just recently,
00:42:56.10\00:42:57.97
on Sabbath, and
we got to meet this
00:42:58.04\00:43:00.04
group of young
adults that is really on
00:43:00.08\00:43:02.78
fire for sharing
the message. These
00:43:02.84\00:43:04.81
are college students;
they're studying different
00:43:04.88\00:43:07.02
professions, but
CA, they are on fire
00:43:07.12\00:43:09.58
for the message. We
went in their classroom
00:43:09.65\00:43:11.92
where they meet
on Sabbath afternoons
00:43:11.99\00:43:13.96
to pray and to
encourage one another, and it
00:43:14.06\00:43:16.09
was so exciting because
they're all talking about
00:43:16.19\00:43:18.59
their plans and
they're strategizing and, by
00:43:18.69\00:43:21.90
God's grace, Duane, they agreed-
00:43:21.96\00:43:24.50
- There were 50
there. - 50 there
00:43:24.53\00:43:27.04
and they had Facebook
live going for another
00:43:27.10\00:43:29.10
200 that were watching all over
00:43:29.17\00:43:30.91
the- yeah. Led
by a guy that has an
00:43:30.94\00:43:34.61
amazing
conversion story. He was a
00:43:34.71\00:43:36.68
Hindu- he was a Buddhist priest.
00:43:36.75\00:43:39.85
Excuse me.
Buddhist priest. Anyway-
00:43:39.88\00:43:42.55
- And all of a sudden,
he's a senior, a Spicer,
00:43:42.58\00:43:44.12
he's graduating,
he's got a greed to
00:43:44.15\00:43:45.99
reach the world
for Jesus. - He has got
00:43:46.05\00:43:47.72
such a passion and a
fire for God. But these 200
00:43:47.79\00:43:50.96
are going- they
said, "We want to preach
00:43:51.03\00:43:53.46
evangelistic
meetings." They agreed to
00:43:53.53\00:43:55.16
do 5
evangelistic meetings each if
00:43:55.26\00:43:57.37
we give them a
video projector next year!
00:43:57.43\00:44:00.87
- I think we're getting
them the video projectors.
00:44:00.94\00:44:02.94
[laughter] - If
you thought- I can't
00:44:03.04\00:44:05.57
do one. These
young adults have said,
00:44:05.64\00:44:07.24
"We'll do 5!" -
And they've never done
00:44:07.31\00:44:09.51
one before. And
then they said to me,
00:44:09.54\00:44:12.95
Sabbath as we were
walking back to the
00:44:13.01\00:44:14.92
church, the leader
said, the ex-Buddhist
00:44:14.98\00:44:17.65
priest, when I was
walking with the guy
00:44:17.72\00:44:20.69
who was- what do
we call him? - The
00:44:20.76\00:44:23.93
hunter. - I'll
tell you that story in
00:44:23.99\00:44:27.36
a minute. They
said, "Pastor, we'll have
00:44:27.46\00:44:29.70
a thousand by
Christmas time." - Wow. - A
00:44:29.76\00:44:32.37
thousand young people.
00:44:32.43\00:44:34.07
right now around
the world on Facebook
00:44:34.10\00:44:36.57
with them; they're
communicating with these
00:44:36.67\00:44:38.34
young people. A lot
of stuff- they said,
00:44:38.44\00:44:40.54
"We'll do a
thousand." I said, "Will you do
00:44:40.61\00:44:41.94
5 meetings each?"
"We will." [laughter]
00:44:41.98\00:44:44.45
Now how many is that?
00:44:44.48\00:44:47.25
meetings! - They
are sold out. You know,
00:44:47.32\00:44:51.65
there was
another young man there
00:44:51.69\00:44:53.05
I met. - Wait,
wait, listen- the hunter.
00:44:53.09\00:44:55.16
- Oh, yes. - The
hunter. He said he grew up
00:44:55.22\00:45:00.86
in this village
in northern India and
00:45:00.90\00:45:02.36
that there's
tribal war all the time.
00:45:02.43\00:45:05.10
His house, where
he was a kid and grew
00:45:05.20\00:45:08.24
up, was burned three
times. He said there's
00:45:08.30\00:45:11.17
such anger in his
heart, so he became a hunter
00:45:11.21\00:45:14.44
and he would go
out and shoot animals.
00:45:14.51\00:45:16.54
Deer and
antelope and whatever they
00:45:16.58\00:45:19.51
could find, he'd
drag the animals in and
00:45:19.61\00:45:20.98
they said, "This
guy's crazy. He's giving
00:45:21.05\00:45:23.32
us- he's killing
all these animals. He's
00:45:23.39\00:45:26.45
more meat than we
can eat." [laughter]
00:45:26.52\00:45:29.02
He was so angry
inside. Then one day, somebody
00:45:29.09\00:45:31.53
gave him a book- an old book. He
00:45:31.56\00:45:33.60
looks at it; he
says, "What is this?" He
00:45:33.73\00:45:35.23
looks at it inside and it
said The Great Controversy.
00:45:35.26\00:45:37.57
Changed his life,
became a Seventh-Day
00:45:37.63\00:45:41.30
Adventist. I'm
walking with his sister
00:45:41.34\00:45:44.01
who's also an Adventist
(who's at Spicer) and I
00:45:44.07\00:45:46.31
said, "Were you
all Adventist?" "Oh,
00:45:46.34\00:45:49.21
no, no, no. Just
him." "Well, what happened?"
00:45:49.24\00:45:51.55
"Well, we beat
him. We ran him out
00:45:51.61\00:45:54.22
of the house."
Not once, but twice.
00:45:54.25\00:45:57.09
But they're all
Adventist. The whole
00:45:59.15\00:46:01.16
family is now, and
he's so excited about
00:46:01.22\00:46:03.69
sharing the
gospel. They said, "We want
00:46:03.73\00:46:05.29
to go into tough
areas like Nepal and other
00:46:05.33\00:46:07.36
areas." They get
caught doing evangelism
00:46:07.40\00:46:09.70
in some of these
places, you go to
00:46:09.76\00:46:11.13
prison for 5
years. - I know, Dr. Lela,
00:46:11.20\00:46:15.07
you have a very
aggressive schedule
00:46:15.14\00:46:17.07
in the States. Do
you plan on partnering
00:46:17.11\00:46:19.27
with AWR for some of
these extracurricular
00:46:19.34\00:46:22.78
activities? - I
think so. [laughter]
00:46:22.81\00:46:25.25
Is that okay?
Can we partner? Yes.
00:46:25.28\00:46:28.15
The answer is an
absolute yes. I am so excited
00:46:28.22\00:46:31.29
that we're going
to be working together
00:46:31.35\00:46:33.15
as a team. And
again, that's Whole Person
00:46:33.22\00:46:35.76
Health, right? The
physicians and dentists
00:46:35.82\00:46:39.26
and all of us coming
together- the pastors
00:46:39.29\00:46:42.06
and the laity all of us working
00:46:42.10\00:46:44.47
together.
Comprehensive evangelism - total
00:46:44.53\00:46:47.44
member
involvement. - That's right.
00:46:47.50\00:46:50.04
- Comprehensive
health evangelism. That's
00:46:50.14\00:46:51.71
what it's all
about. That's what we want
00:46:51.81\00:46:53.61
to do. - And
we're praying because
00:46:53.68\00:46:55.01
next year- I
mean, we talked about
00:46:55.04\00:46:56.38
those young
adults giving needs, but
00:46:56.41\00:46:57.75
people are going
to come to India from
00:46:57.81\00:46:59.15
all over the
world. By God's grace, we
00:46:59.18\00:47:00.85
want to hold 4,000
meetings across India
00:47:00.92\00:47:03.55
next year. - Wow,
the young people would
00:47:03.62\00:47:05.12
really love it. [laughter]
- The younger we look.
00:47:05.15\00:47:06.86
- We gotta help
them. - We gotta help them.
00:47:06.92\00:47:09.52
So in Chennai,
in Kolkata, even in
00:47:09.59\00:47:12.59
Pune, we've gotta
have meetings and God
00:47:12.66\00:47:14.53
is going to
really bless. - There's
00:47:14.63\00:47:15.96
this little
country... I was just saying to
00:47:16.00\00:47:17.53
you earlier. Little
cou- it's a state, actually.
00:47:17.60\00:47:20.94
Up, and it's
called Sikkim. We just
00:47:21.00\00:47:25.04
got a message
from Tim, and he said
00:47:25.07\00:47:27.74
he was up there
right now. It's a country-
00:47:27.84\00:47:30.05
er, state that
belonged to Nepal before 1975.
00:47:30.11\00:47:34.72
Because of a war
and readjustment, India
00:47:34.82\00:47:37.55
got it, so it's
part of India. Most of
00:47:37.59\00:47:40.06
the people are
Christian. - Oh! - But it's at a
00:47:40.12\00:47:43.22
bridge- it's kind
of like a great truck
00:47:43.29\00:47:45.33
road going
through there- that hooks
00:47:45.39\00:47:47.70
together Bhutan and
Nepal and Tibet, and
00:47:47.76\00:47:50.60
most of the people speak
Nepali there, and English.
00:47:50.70\00:47:54.97
He said, "Everybody
there has WhatsApp."
00:47:55.90\00:47:58.74
Everyone has
WhatsApp. Everyone also has
00:47:58.77\00:48:02.38
Facebook. So we
can take the cell phone
00:48:02.44\00:48:05.28
evangelism- yeah, we
have almost a hundred
00:48:05.31\00:48:07.68
thousand people
around the world, now, taking
00:48:07.78\00:48:09.62
Bible studies every week. So
we can take that in there, teach
00:48:09.68\00:48:11.39
these people, and we're sending
? and Tim Saxon, and they're
00:48:11.45\00:48:17.03
going to be working with the
young people, and we're going-
00:48:17.13\00:48:18.96
Kyle, think about
that! - Yes, it's incredible.
00:48:19.03\00:48:21.36
- Yeah, we can
reach Tibet! We can reach
00:48:21.43\00:48:22.80
Bhutan. We can reach
Nepal. These difficult
00:48:22.83\00:48:25.13
areas just with
using a cell phone! And
00:48:25.23\00:48:28.64
WhatsApp, and WeChat,
and Facebook. Amazing!
00:48:28.74\00:48:32.87
- But we should
mention the Center
00:48:32.94\00:48:35.64
for Digital
Evangelism, because this is
00:48:35.68\00:48:37.78
a big problem, actually,
all over the world, CA.
00:48:37.85\00:48:40.55
We have- AWR is
broadcasting, our
00:48:40.65\00:48:44.42
church is putting out
content on the internet
00:48:44.45\00:48:45.85
through various
social media channels...
00:48:45.95\00:48:47.56
We have so many
tools, today, through our
00:48:47.59\00:48:52.19
technology that
has been given to us-
00:48:52.26\00:48:54.73
WhatsApp, Facebook,
Messenger- you name it!
00:48:54.76\00:48:57.30
All the different tools.
But how are we connecting
00:48:57.37\00:48:59.37
with those people that
are reaching out to us?
00:48:59.47\00:49:01.27
You know what I'm
saying? How are we responding
00:49:01.30\00:49:03.51
to the people that
may have listened to a
00:49:03.54\00:49:04.87
broadcast or seen
a social media post-
00:49:04.91\00:49:06.68
thousand! Perhaps
hundreds of thousands
00:49:06.74\00:49:08.91
of people all over
the world. So AWR has
00:49:08.98\00:49:11.41
said, "We can't
let these requests,
00:49:11.45\00:49:13.72
or these
interests, go unanswered." So
00:49:13.75\00:49:16.05
by God's grace,
we're starting the Center
00:49:16.12\00:49:17.49
for Digital
Evangelism. AWR- Center for
00:49:17.55\00:49:20.29
Digital Evangelism,
and the first target
00:49:20.42\00:49:23.19
is going to be
India for next year! So
00:49:23.22\00:49:25.63
it's going to
start, actually, in a few
00:49:25.69\00:49:27.96
months here in the
country of the Philippines.
00:49:28.03\00:49:30.43
It'll be based at the
Southern Asia Division.
00:49:30.50\00:49:32.53
We're going to
have missionaries from
00:49:32.63\00:49:33.97
India.
Basically, it's like a very
00:49:34.00\00:49:35.97
glorified call
center, okay? So, everybody
00:49:36.04\00:49:39.51
that expresses
interest on social media that
00:49:39.57\00:49:42.94
clicks on an ad that
we put out that calls
00:49:43.04\00:49:45.21
as a response to
a broadcast, within
00:49:45.31\00:49:47.52
24 hours, we want
to respond to them
00:49:47.58\00:49:49.18
and lead them. Not
only just pray for them and
00:49:49.22\00:49:52.85
tell them we're
there, but lead them to Bible
00:49:52.92\00:49:54.79
studies and
ultimately to a local church,
00:49:54.82\00:49:56.99
because that's
Broadcast to Baptism, so we're
00:49:57.09\00:49:59.96
very excited about
that. - Our time is going
00:50:00.03\00:50:02.60
so incredibly fast.
I want to put up the
00:50:02.66\00:50:04.77
contact information.
If you are as stirred
00:50:04.87\00:50:07.37
as those of us
sitting around this table,
00:50:07.44\00:50:10.01
surely, you want
to participate in this
00:50:10.07\00:50:11.97
someway- with
your personal finances,
00:50:12.01\00:50:14.84
certainly with
your prayers, or you may
00:50:14.88\00:50:16.78
just want to get
on a plane and render
00:50:16.85\00:50:19.08
some service
yourself. If you are a medical
00:50:19.15\00:50:22.72
personnel, I know
you can be used. If you
00:50:22.75\00:50:25.22
have not preached
and want to dip your toes
00:50:25.29\00:50:28.52
in the water, as
it were, you may want
00:50:28.56\00:50:30.19
to do that. If
you've been preaching for
00:50:30.26\00:50:31.66
a long time, here's
a brand-new experience
00:50:31.73\00:50:33.83
for you; you may
want to do it that
00:50:33.90\00:50:35.23
way. If you want
to make contact to
00:50:35.26\00:50:36.83
know where you can
fit in to know what
00:50:36.90\00:50:39.47
the Lord would have
you to do, here's the
00:50:39.53\00:50:41.04
information that you need.
