00:00:01.80\00:00:07.70
Mending broken people
00:00:07.74\00:00:12.74
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.77\00:00:18.91
Removing pain
00:00:18.95\00:00:23.89
Lord, let my words
00:00:23.92\00:00:30.16
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:30.23\00:00:34.70
I want to spend my life
00:00:34.73\00:00:40.44
Mending broken people
00:00:40.47\00:00:45.87
I want to spend my life
00:00:45.91\00:00:51.51
Mending broken people
00:00:51.55\00:00:55.75
Hello, I'm Shelley
Quinn, and we welcome you
00:01:10.00\00:01:11.73
once again to 3ABN today.
00:01:11.77\00:01:14.27
This is the mending
broken people network.
00:01:14.30\00:01:17.34
And, boy, have we got
an interview for you today.
00:01:17.41\00:01:21.31
It is so inspiring.
00:01:21.34\00:01:23.38
If you want to
know how the church
00:01:23.45\00:01:27.15
will be able to finish the
work so that Jesus can return.
00:01:27.22\00:01:30.79
Please stay tuned
because this to me
00:01:30.82\00:01:34.66
is the most exciting
project that is going on
00:01:34.69\00:01:36.96
in the church today.
00:01:37.03\00:01:38.39
Now with that little
teaser, let me give you
00:01:38.43\00:01:40.70
one of my favorite scriptures.
00:01:40.73\00:01:42.10
It's Lamentations,
3:22 and 23, and it says,
00:01:42.13\00:01:46.57
"Through the Lord's
mercies, we are not consumed
00:01:46.60\00:01:49.70
because His
compassions fail not,
00:01:49.74\00:01:53.88
they are new every morning.
00:01:53.91\00:01:57.45
Great is Your
faithfulness, O Lord."
00:01:57.48\00:02:00.72
God is the God
of new beginnings.
00:02:00.75\00:02:03.92
And there are so many hopeless
people in the world today,
00:02:03.99\00:02:08.19
right here in the United States,
00:02:08.22\00:02:10.36
all around the
world who don't know
00:02:10.43\00:02:12.76
about the love of God.
00:02:12.79\00:02:14.53
But there is a wonderful program
00:02:14.56\00:02:18.47
that is telling them about it.
00:02:18.50\00:02:20.07
Let me introduce you
to our special guest,
00:02:20.14\00:02:22.64
a dear friend, Barbara Taylor,
00:02:22.67\00:02:24.77
who is the ASI New
Beginnings coordinator.
00:02:24.81\00:02:29.14
Barbara, thank you
for being here today.
00:02:29.18\00:02:32.01
Well, thank you,
Shelley, for having me.
00:02:32.05\00:02:33.92
It's just a
blessing to be with you.
00:02:33.95\00:02:35.95
And I am so excited,
00:02:35.98\00:02:38.19
been trying to get
this all pulled together
00:02:38.22\00:02:40.06
with your schedule
and ours to get you here.
00:02:40.09\00:02:42.79
We're very excited to
tell you about this project.
00:02:42.82\00:02:46.90
But first, we have
a very special music
00:02:46.93\00:02:51.87
and when I say very special,
Jaime Jorge is, hands down,
00:02:51.90\00:02:58.61
my favorite violinist,
00:02:58.64\00:03:01.84
and he is going
to play a song for us
00:03:01.88\00:03:05.61
in only the style in
the anointing that he can,
00:03:05.65\00:03:09.28
"Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus."
00:03:09.32\00:03:10.89
Isn't that special?
00:06:17.11\00:06:18.44
He just transports you there,
and we just are so appreciative
00:06:18.47\00:06:21.81
of Jaime's ministry.
00:06:21.84\00:06:23.48
If you're joining
us just a moment later,
00:06:23.55\00:06:25.35
our special guest
today is Barbara Taylor,
00:06:25.38\00:06:28.02
and she is the New
Beginnings coordinator for ASI,
00:06:28.05\00:06:32.65
which is Adventist
Laymen's Services Industry.
00:06:32.69\00:06:39.19
That's always a hard
one for me but, Barbara,
00:06:39.23\00:06:42.43
before we talk about
this special project,
00:06:42.46\00:06:46.47
and I can't emphasize
that special with a capital S.
00:06:46.50\00:06:51.84
Before we do,
00:06:51.87\00:06:53.21
let's get to know
you just a little bit.
00:06:53.24\00:06:55.11
Did you grow up
in a Christian home?
00:06:55.14\00:06:57.18
No, Shelley.
00:06:57.25\00:06:58.58
I actually when I
was a little child my...
00:06:58.61\00:07:02.05
When I was four years
old, my parents separated
00:07:02.08\00:07:04.79
and I was put
into a series of homes.
00:07:04.82\00:07:06.96
I refer to them as foster homes.
00:07:06.99\00:07:09.09
And later, I
became a workaholic,
00:07:09.12\00:07:11.96
and overachiever,
and a perfectionist.
00:07:11.99\00:07:14.33
I was so determined not
to let anything hurt me,
00:07:14.36\00:07:17.47
because I was terrified,
constantly being picked up
00:07:17.50\00:07:20.24
and put in one
home and picked up
00:07:20.27\00:07:21.64
and put in another home.
00:07:21.67\00:07:23.00
I was terrified
of being abandoned
00:07:23.04\00:07:24.57
and rejected in
past if I wasn't loved,
00:07:24.61\00:07:27.38
and I went on to
become very successful
00:07:27.41\00:07:29.38
in the business world.
00:07:29.41\00:07:30.75
I was the first female
director of sales and marketing
00:07:30.78\00:07:33.18
for a major hotel chain.
00:07:33.21\00:07:35.22
And then I taught a course
at the University of Colorado
00:07:35.25\00:07:37.69
and professional women
in sales and marketing.
00:07:37.72\00:07:40.16
Now brace yourself.
00:07:40.19\00:07:41.89
I was the first female
director of club relations
00:07:41.92\00:07:44.76
and general manager
for Playboy international.
00:07:44.79\00:07:48.23
I know.
00:07:48.26\00:07:49.73
Most people say what? Yeah.
00:07:49.76\00:07:52.03
I explained that
sadly, I became involved
00:07:52.07\00:07:55.00
in the lifestyle
of the rich and famous
00:07:55.04\00:07:56.81
because I was up
there with A crowd
00:07:56.84\00:07:58.41
and I tried to
excuse my lifestyle
00:07:58.44\00:08:01.04
because
everything I did, I said,
00:08:01.08\00:08:03.24
"Oh, I'm up here
with the A crowd."
00:08:03.28\00:08:04.68
But in reality I
was no different.
00:08:04.71\00:08:07.82
I became involved
in all the lifestyle
00:08:07.85\00:08:10.59
and sadly became
involved in drinking and drugs,
00:08:10.62\00:08:14.79
and all of those things.
00:08:14.82\00:08:16.56
After three and a half
years, I was totally burned out.
00:08:16.59\00:08:18.86
I went to work for a company
called Lord Jeff of Amherst
00:08:18.89\00:08:22.16
that was owned by General Mills,
00:08:22.20\00:08:24.60
which is a cereal
company as you know,
00:08:24.63\00:08:27.87
but they had bought
five different companies,
00:08:27.90\00:08:29.84
one of which was Lord
Jeff and after three years,
00:08:29.87\00:08:32.64
I was the number one sales rep.
00:08:32.67\00:08:34.28
The fourth year myself
and four other gentleman
00:08:34.31\00:08:36.75
bought the company
from General Mills.
00:08:36.78\00:08:38.38
We took it from a
$9 million company
00:08:38.41\00:08:40.62
to a $43 million company,
00:08:40.65\00:08:43.08
and we were the largest
domestic sweater manufacturers
00:08:43.12\00:08:45.99
in the United States.
00:08:46.02\00:08:47.76
Sadly, the man that
own 51% of the company,
00:08:47.79\00:08:51.16
he and I became involved.
00:08:51.19\00:08:53.60
As soon as he heard
about my celebrity friends
00:08:53.63\00:08:55.70
and all of the people,
00:08:55.73\00:08:57.07
he wanted to meet
them and so sadly,
00:08:57.10\00:09:00.44
we got involved right
back into working all week,
00:09:00.47\00:09:04.77
partying all weekend.
00:09:04.81\00:09:06.68
On most weekends, I
would fly every other week
00:09:06.71\00:09:10.38
from Denver to Manhattan.
00:09:10.45\00:09:11.78
I'd have a limousine pick
me up and take me to my office
00:09:11.81\00:09:14.22
at 5 East 51st Avenue.
00:09:14.25\00:09:16.55
But to make a long story short,
at the end of eight years,
00:09:16.58\00:09:20.36
he had an affair and
the little child in me
00:09:20.39\00:09:22.99
who was terrified
of being abandoned
00:09:23.02\00:09:24.36
and rejected in
past if I wasn't loved.
00:09:24.39\00:09:27.80
All of that came into reality.
00:09:27.83\00:09:29.80
I went from being a
multi-multimillionaire
00:09:29.83\00:09:32.33
to almost facing bankruptcy.
00:09:32.37\00:09:35.00
And all I can
remember as a little child,
00:09:35.04\00:09:38.27
somebody had taught me a song,
Jesus loves me, this I know,
00:09:38.31\00:09:43.75
couldn't remember
the rest of the words,
00:09:43.78\00:09:45.85
couldn't remember
the rest of the song,
00:09:45.88\00:09:47.42
but I would cry and I would cry,
00:09:47.45\00:09:49.45
and I would hold on
to the steering wheel,
00:09:49.48\00:09:51.35
and I would say over and over,
"Jesus loves me, this I know."
00:09:51.39\00:09:55.99
And I decided, I
had my father's side
00:09:56.02\00:09:58.26
of the family had
been Seventh-day Adventist
00:09:58.29\00:10:00.93
and they, my two
aunts always prayed for me.
00:10:00.96\00:10:04.27
And they always
said, "We love you.
00:10:04.30\00:10:05.77
And we're praying for you."
00:10:05.80\00:10:07.64
And I decided to go to church.
And I will make it very short.
00:10:07.67\00:10:10.81
But later, I became
00:10:10.84\00:10:12.51
a Seventh-day
Adventist Christian.
00:10:12.54\00:10:14.28
Praise God.
00:10:14.31\00:10:15.64
The very first thing that I did
00:10:15.68\00:10:17.25
as soon as I became a
Christian, praise the Lord.
00:10:17.28\00:10:20.25
I had two wonderful people.
00:10:20.32\00:10:22.98
Dr. and Mrs. Hohner who
took me under their wings
00:10:23.02\00:10:26.55
and they said, "Come on,
00:10:26.59\00:10:27.92
we're going to get
you involved in ASI.
00:10:27.96\00:10:30.46
We're going to get you involved
in It Is Written partnership,
00:10:30.53\00:10:32.86
and we're going to get
you involved in Maranatha."
00:10:32.89\00:10:35.06
Praise God.
00:10:35.10\00:10:36.43
And because of that,
00:10:36.46\00:10:37.83
I got involved
with ASI ministries.
00:10:37.87\00:10:41.24
From the day I
first went, I fell in love
00:10:41.27\00:10:44.31
with all of the ASI ministries.
00:10:44.34\00:10:46.61
That's the
wonderful thing about ASI
00:10:46.68\00:10:48.98
is they are laymen and
women who have a passion
00:10:49.01\00:10:52.81
for sharing Christ.
00:10:52.85\00:10:54.58
And that's what
ASI is all about.
00:10:54.62\00:10:56.52
It's all laymen and women
and self-supporting ministries.
00:10:56.55\00:11:00.99
3ABN is a self
supporting ministry.
00:11:01.02\00:11:04.13
It Is Written,
all of our ministries
00:11:04.16\00:11:05.99
they're getting
through donations
00:11:06.03\00:11:09.60
those are involved in ASI.
00:11:09.63\00:11:12.00
And so when I joined
ASI, I became involved
00:11:12.03\00:11:16.71
as on the national board
00:11:16.74\00:11:19.51
and then I became
involved as president,
00:11:19.54\00:11:21.64
and then after that
this last year ASI asked me
00:11:21.68\00:11:26.05
to spearhead this new
program of home Bible studies
00:11:26.08\00:11:31.65
in our North American Division.
00:11:31.69\00:11:35.86
Now ASI started
the ministry in 2000,
00:11:35.89\00:11:40.40
but one of the
things that we discovered
00:11:40.43\00:11:42.90
after research and studies...
00:11:42.93\00:11:44.53
Let's back up for just a second,
00:11:44.57\00:11:46.30
the ministry of
developing small groups.
00:11:46.33\00:11:50.11
This is called a New Beginnings.
00:11:50.14\00:11:52.21
Give us just a little outline
00:11:52.24\00:11:54.91
of what is this New
Beginnings Ministry?
00:11:54.94\00:11:59.58
This New Beginnings
00:11:59.61\00:12:01.22
is one of the most
successful inspiring,
00:12:01.25\00:12:06.12
training programs that
we have around the world
00:12:06.15\00:12:09.09
in winning souls
to God's kingdom.
00:12:09.12\00:12:11.59
Now, when we first started,
we realized through research
00:12:11.63\00:12:14.60
and studies that if
an evangelist went out
00:12:14.63\00:12:18.17
and they had
evangelistic meetings
00:12:18.20\00:12:20.37
and they, let's just say
they baptized 1000 people.
00:12:20.44\00:12:24.21
The study showed
that after one year,
00:12:24.24\00:12:27.18
90% of those people
had left the church.
00:12:27.21\00:12:30.95
Once the evangelist had
left the series of meetings,
00:12:30.98\00:12:34.92
the people that were baptized
had lost all their connection,
00:12:34.95\00:12:38.59
they were not nurtured,
they were not put involved
00:12:38.62\00:12:41.59
in other
evangelistic outreaches.
00:12:41.62\00:12:44.33
So because of that,
they lost connection
00:12:44.36\00:12:47.63
and they became,
they no longer became
00:12:47.66\00:12:50.17
part of the church.
00:12:50.20\00:12:51.80
The one thing
that ASI New Beginnings
00:12:51.83\00:12:54.80
is so successful with
is we form small groups.
00:12:54.84\00:12:59.87
And once we form
those small groups,
00:12:59.91\00:13:02.14
the people that are
brought into the ministry,
00:13:02.18\00:13:05.18
they are nurtured.
00:13:05.21\00:13:06.92
They are loved.
00:13:06.95\00:13:08.45
They are encouraged to
get involved in ministry.
00:13:08.48\00:13:11.59
They are part of a family.
00:13:11.62\00:13:14.16
So they realize that
this is why they want
00:13:14.19\00:13:16.83
to be a part of ASI Ministry.
00:13:16.86\00:13:18.89
Okay, so New
Beginnings is like a Bible study
00:13:18.93\00:13:23.23
evangelistic series
for a home, is that...?
00:13:23.26\00:13:26.23
Correct. Correct? Okay.
00:13:26.27\00:13:27.70
So Mark Finley was
very involved in this.
00:13:27.74\00:13:30.91
Exactly.
00:13:30.94\00:13:32.27
In 2000 ASI
joined with Mark Finley,
00:13:32.31\00:13:35.14
who at that time was
involved in as speaker/director
00:13:35.18\00:13:38.11
of It Is Written,
00:13:38.15\00:13:40.42
and they formed a
committee of people
00:13:40.45\00:13:44.09
that produced the New Beginnings
00:13:44.12\00:13:46.96
PowerPoint Bible lessons.
00:13:46.99\00:13:49.09
And when they formed this group,
00:13:49.12\00:13:51.46
they started the series
and the very first place
00:13:51.49\00:13:55.26
that they started the
series and began the series
00:13:55.30\00:13:58.20
was in the country of Moldova.
00:13:58.23\00:14:01.40
Now, Moldova at
that time, that weekend,
00:14:01.44\00:14:06.04
they had a Siberian
clipper that came through
00:14:06.07\00:14:09.74
and it was minus
36 degrees Celsius.
00:14:09.78\00:14:14.75
And they said, "There's no way
that anyone's going to show up
00:14:14.78\00:14:18.35
because so many of
the people had to come
00:14:18.39\00:14:20.46
from a very far distance
00:14:20.49\00:14:22.26
and so many people had to walk."
00:14:22.29\00:14:24.46
And they thought
there isn't anybody
00:14:24.49\00:14:26.26
that's going to show up.
00:14:26.29\00:14:28.06
Well, in reality
that Sabbath morning,
00:14:28.10\00:14:31.20
over 1,200 people
showed up in the church.
00:14:31.23\00:14:35.74
And everybody said
just amazing how dedicated
00:14:35.77\00:14:39.97
and how willing they
were up to that point.
00:14:40.01\00:14:42.54
Moldova annually
had a 4% baptismal rate.
00:14:42.58\00:14:48.12
After they did the training,
they had a 12% baptismal rate.
00:14:48.15\00:14:53.36
All right, so let's talk
about how this is structured
00:14:53.39\00:14:57.06
because we've said
it's a small groups,
00:14:57.13\00:14:58.86
it's happening
in people's homes,
00:14:58.89\00:15:01.13
and it's basically like
having a little Bible training
00:15:01.16\00:15:05.20
evangelistic
series right in your home.
00:15:05.23\00:15:07.80
But what I so appreciate
about this is you're not asking
00:15:07.84\00:15:12.71
or structuring this
00:15:12.74\00:15:14.41
where one person's doing it all.
00:15:14.44\00:15:16.34
Tell us about the structure
because I think that's part
00:15:16.38\00:15:19.58
of the reason for
this great success.
00:15:19.61\00:15:21.72
It is the reason
for the great success.
00:15:21.75\00:15:23.89
What we do is
we encourage people
00:15:23.92\00:15:26.55
to have a team leader
00:15:26.59\00:15:29.09
and then they have
three other people,
00:15:29.12\00:15:30.83
they have a team leader,
00:15:30.86\00:15:32.29
they have an
assistant team leader,
00:15:32.33\00:15:35.03
a technician, and
a host or hostess.
00:15:35.06\00:15:38.30
Now the team leader
is the main speaker,
00:15:38.33\00:15:41.57
the assistant again,
00:15:41.60\00:15:43.27
they will practice
and they will memorize,
00:15:43.30\00:15:46.24
and they will learn
the lessons right along
00:15:46.27\00:15:48.31
with the team leader.
00:15:48.34\00:15:49.91
And then the technician
will advance the slides
00:15:49.94\00:15:53.35
and or the videos
as they're speaking
00:15:53.42\00:15:56.05
so that they follow
along with the script.
00:15:56.08\00:15:58.75
And the hostess or
the host of the home,
00:15:58.79\00:16:02.59
they're the ones
that as soon as the people
00:16:02.62\00:16:04.79
come into the homes,
00:16:04.83\00:16:06.29
they make sure
that all the magazines
00:16:06.33\00:16:08.46
and newspapers are
taken off the coffee table.
00:16:08.50\00:16:10.80
And they make sure
that they tell the people
00:16:10.87\00:16:12.70
where the restroom is.
00:16:12.73\00:16:14.07
So they don't
interrupt the meeting.
00:16:14.14\00:16:15.74
But once the meetings
began, after about 10 minutes,
00:16:15.77\00:16:19.17
they spend time socializing
together to get acquainted
00:16:19.21\00:16:22.14
and get to know one another.
00:16:22.18\00:16:23.85
But after that,
once the meetings began,
00:16:23.88\00:16:26.38
they go on for
approximately an hour,
00:16:26.41\00:16:29.15
after that they send them
home because they want them
00:16:29.18\00:16:32.72
to remember what was
spoken up during the lessons.
00:16:32.75\00:16:37.13
The next time that
they have the meetings,
00:16:37.16\00:16:39.19
they never mentioned to them,
00:16:39.23\00:16:40.60
we're going to have 25 meetings.
00:16:40.63\00:16:42.80
They always say,
"We'll look forward
00:16:42.83\00:16:44.40
to having you
come back the next day
00:16:44.43\00:16:46.87
or whatever the
meetings might be."
00:16:46.94\00:16:49.37
But it's very, very
important to form teams.
00:16:49.40\00:16:52.81
The reason it's
important to form a team,
00:16:52.84\00:16:55.81
we pray together,
we study together,
00:16:55.84\00:16:59.15
we encourage one another.
00:16:59.18\00:17:00.85
And it's not overwhelming.
00:17:00.92\00:17:02.32
It's not overwhelming.
00:17:02.35\00:17:03.82
And the very
first week what we do
00:17:03.89\00:17:06.59
is we get together and
we make a list of 10 names.
00:17:06.62\00:17:10.83
Now let's just say,
I have a family member,
00:17:10.86\00:17:13.90
I have a work associate,
00:17:13.93\00:17:15.76
I have somebody in my community,
00:17:15.80\00:17:18.13
I have somebody that is
really, really been close
00:17:18.17\00:17:20.67
to my heart that I want.
00:17:20.74\00:17:22.50
I have a burden to try
to bring them to know Jesus.
00:17:22.54\00:17:26.14
So the very first
week we pray, we pray,
00:17:26.17\00:17:30.45
we pray over those 10 names.
00:17:30.48\00:17:32.78
Then all of us get together,
and we exchange those names,
00:17:32.81\00:17:36.72
and now we have 40 names.
00:17:36.79\00:17:39.05
And after we
exchange those names, again,
00:17:39.09\00:17:42.49
we pray earnestly
pray that the Holy Spirit
00:17:42.52\00:17:46.49
will touch
those people's hearts.
00:17:46.53\00:17:49.16
That's when we invite them
at the end of the second week,
00:17:49.20\00:17:52.53
or even if we want to go longer,
00:17:52.57\00:17:54.24
but we try to say after
the end of the second week
00:17:54.27\00:17:58.01
that we pray about those people
00:17:58.04\00:18:00.68
and we may be ask
them individually,
00:18:00.71\00:18:03.35
we may send them an invitation,
00:18:03.38\00:18:05.65
but it's much more personal
to ask them individually.
00:18:05.68\00:18:09.42
And we asked them
to come to the host
00:18:09.45\00:18:12.29
or hostesses' home.
00:18:12.32\00:18:14.46
And we might
mention something about,
00:18:14.49\00:18:16.83
have you noticed the chaos
that is in the world today?
00:18:16.86\00:18:20.70
Everywhere we look,
there's constant chaos.
00:18:20.73\00:18:24.00
There's constant conflict.
00:18:24.07\00:18:25.63
There's constant
tragedies all over the world.
00:18:25.67\00:18:27.54
To the point
that a lot of people
00:18:27.57\00:18:29.77
are suffering
compassion fatigue,
00:18:29.80\00:18:33.24
because it's just one emergency,
00:18:33.27\00:18:36.51
one urgency after another.
00:18:36.54\00:18:38.75
Exactly.
00:18:38.78\00:18:40.12
And that's why,
00:18:40.15\00:18:41.82
that's why more
than any other time,
00:18:41.85\00:18:44.99
it's so urgent that we
start these small group
00:18:45.02\00:18:48.29
home Bible
studies in North America.
00:18:48.32\00:18:50.99
We have been so
successful around the world
00:18:51.03\00:18:53.60
of doing small
group home Bible studies.
00:18:53.63\00:18:56.56
Most of the
people around the world
00:18:56.60\00:18:58.50
are so excited
about these small group
00:18:58.53\00:19:00.74
home Bible studies,
00:19:00.77\00:19:02.20
but now we're urgently
trying to encourage people
00:19:02.24\00:19:05.31
here in North
America to do that,
00:19:05.34\00:19:07.64
because we know
the time is short.
00:19:07.68\00:19:10.15
Well, I know we want to
get in a few more stories here.
00:19:10.18\00:19:13.42
But first I
just want to say that
00:19:13.45\00:19:15.58
what I appreciate that
Barbara shared with me.
00:19:15.62\00:19:18.59
I've just been so
excited about this.
00:19:18.62\00:19:20.59
I've been telling everybody,
what was it, six months?
00:19:20.66\00:19:24.03
Oh, no, I guess it was
last ASI whenever we...
00:19:24.06\00:19:27.00
Yes, it was just
something that struck me,
00:19:27.03\00:19:32.13
what they do is here you've got
00:19:32.17\00:19:34.64
the four people together.
00:19:34.67\00:19:36.00
So somebody might
say in your church,
00:19:36.04\00:19:39.07
I don't mind being the host.
00:19:39.11\00:19:41.61
You can use my
home, but you don't have
00:19:41.64\00:19:43.95
to know anything
about running the DVD player
00:19:43.98\00:19:46.82
or anything.
00:19:46.85\00:19:48.18
You've got one
person in that comes in
00:19:48.22\00:19:50.22
as part of the team
00:19:50.29\00:19:51.62
who's going to
handle that responsibility,
00:19:51.65\00:19:53.86
somebody who knows
about those kinds of things.
00:19:53.89\00:19:57.03
Then you've got a speaker
and co-speaker as it were
00:19:57.06\00:20:00.60
but you're praying as a group.
00:20:00.63\00:20:02.00
So the team is getting really,
00:20:02.03\00:20:04.93
you're depending on
the Lord getting cohesive,
00:20:04.97\00:20:07.77
but as you take
them through this,
00:20:07.80\00:20:10.44
and I don't want
to steal her thunder,
00:20:10.51\00:20:12.31
there's been a
great baptismal rate.
00:20:12.34\00:20:16.41
As people go through,
00:20:16.44\00:20:17.78
they come into this
comfortable environment,
00:20:17.81\00:20:20.02
people that may
not come to church,
00:20:20.05\00:20:22.82
they're bonding as a group.
00:20:22.85\00:20:25.72
But then, once they're baptized,
00:20:25.75\00:20:28.06
you turn around
and get them involved
00:20:28.09\00:20:30.73
in a team of four people.
00:20:30.76\00:20:33.09
Exactly.
00:20:33.13\00:20:34.46
To me, it's brilliant
00:20:34.50\00:20:35.83
because we learn to
teach, but we teach to learn.
00:20:35.86\00:20:39.53
And so whatever
people have learned
00:20:39.57\00:20:42.00
through that series,
now they get involved
00:20:42.04\00:20:45.94
and that's really cementing
everything they learned.
00:20:45.97\00:20:49.98
It's beautiful. It's so true.
00:20:50.05\00:20:52.28
And you know the
other thing that's so vital,
00:20:52.31\00:20:54.42
as soon as people are baptized,
they're on fire for the Lord.
00:20:54.45\00:20:57.92
Amen. Amen.
00:20:57.95\00:20:59.29
You know, I had a young couple
00:20:59.32\00:21:00.66
that was baptized
down in South America.
00:21:00.69\00:21:04.26
Six months after
they were baptized,
00:21:04.33\00:21:07.60
they had 14 people
00:21:07.63\00:21:09.56
in their small
group home Bible study.
00:21:09.60\00:21:11.97
Fourteen.
00:21:12.00\00:21:13.34
Now, here again,
they were newly baptized,
00:21:13.37\00:21:15.80
and yet they were so
on fire and so excited,
00:21:15.84\00:21:18.34
they couldn't wait to
share with their friends.
00:21:18.37\00:21:20.08
They couldn't wait to
share with their family,
00:21:20.11\00:21:21.74
all their work associates.
00:21:21.78\00:21:23.45
I was amazed at how
quickly they got involved.
00:21:23.48\00:21:27.12
And, you know,
00:21:27.15\00:21:28.48
once you're
involved in the small groups,
00:21:28.52\00:21:31.79
you become more
cemented in the truth.
00:21:31.82\00:21:34.26
You become more solid. Absolute.
00:21:34.29\00:21:36.93
And knowing the prophecies
00:21:36.96\00:21:40.03
and all the
information in the Bible.
00:21:40.10\00:21:41.93
So it's so vital
that they become involved
00:21:41.96\00:21:44.10
and once they're involved,
00:21:44.17\00:21:45.80
they have shown through studies
00:21:45.83\00:21:47.54
and through actual
studies that after five years,
00:21:47.57\00:21:52.27
85 to 89% of those
people are still in the church.
00:21:52.31\00:21:56.18
Glory to God.
Because they are part of it.
00:21:56.21\00:21:58.28
So we've seen how
excited they were in Moldova.
00:21:58.31\00:22:02.98
But you actually
00:22:03.02\00:22:04.42
when you were
training in Cambodia,
00:22:04.45\00:22:07.19
you had a couple of visitors.
00:22:07.26\00:22:08.72
Tell us that story?
00:22:08.76\00:22:10.13
We had a couple of young men
00:22:10.16\00:22:11.49
that snuck across
the border from Vietnam.
00:22:11.53\00:22:14.56
When they snuck
across the border,
00:22:14.60\00:22:16.13
back in that time,
00:22:16.16\00:22:17.93
if they would
have been evangelizing
00:22:17.97\00:22:20.67
they could have been imprisoned,
00:22:20.74\00:22:22.14
they could have been beaten,
00:22:22.17\00:22:23.51
or even worse, they
could have been killed.
00:22:23.54\00:22:26.31
And these young men
snuck across the border,
00:22:26.34\00:22:28.84
went through the training,
snuck back into Vietnam,
00:22:28.88\00:22:32.08
and at the end,
they trained to people
00:22:32.11\00:22:36.18
to have small
group home Bible studies.
00:22:36.22\00:22:38.82
Once they did this,
00:22:38.85\00:22:40.49
they were having
their very first meeting
00:22:40.56\00:22:43.53
and all of a sudden,
as soon as they started,
00:22:43.56\00:22:46.59
there was a bang,
bang, bang on the door.
00:22:46.63\00:22:49.70
Oh my! It was
dead silence again.
00:22:49.73\00:22:52.80
Bang, bang, bang on the door.
00:22:52.83\00:22:55.60
The young man went to the door
and he opened the door slowly
00:22:55.64\00:22:58.47
and just to see
he opened the door
00:22:58.51\00:23:00.21
there this man was that
was the chief of police.
00:23:00.28\00:23:04.68
And he said,
"What's going on in here?"
00:23:04.71\00:23:07.22
And the young man
opened the door wider.
00:23:07.25\00:23:09.08
And there was a picture of Jesus
00:23:09.12\00:23:11.02
with His arms outstretched.
00:23:11.05\00:23:13.36
And the young man said,
00:23:13.39\00:23:14.72
"Would you like
to come in and see?"
00:23:14.76\00:23:16.52
Well, we know the end.
00:23:16.56\00:23:18.33
He came in, he sat down,
he went through the meetings,
00:23:18.36\00:23:21.30
and he went
through the next meeting
00:23:21.33\00:23:22.66
and the next
meeting, and he was baptized.
00:23:22.70\00:23:25.07
Glory to God.
00:23:25.10\00:23:26.43
And then he said,
00:23:26.47\00:23:29.14
we're going to hold the meetings
00:23:29.17\00:23:30.51
in my house next time
00:23:30.54\00:23:32.07
because nobody will
bother us in my house.
00:23:32.11\00:23:34.61
Glory.
00:23:34.64\00:23:35.98
And so here, the chief of police
00:23:36.01\00:23:37.68
of that little
village was baptized.
00:23:37.71\00:23:39.88
And he started
holding meetings in his home.
00:23:39.91\00:23:42.88
It's just one
story after another.
00:23:42.92\00:23:44.42
The truth will set
you free, won't it?
00:23:44.45\00:23:45.85
I could tell you
stories of testimony
00:23:45.89\00:23:48.19
after testimony after testimony.
00:23:48.22\00:23:50.66
We went to El Salvador.
00:23:50.73\00:23:52.33
When we went to El Salvador,
00:23:52.36\00:23:54.80
we were training down
there and there was a young boy,
00:23:54.83\00:23:57.30
he was 14 years old,
and he was taking notes,
00:23:57.37\00:24:01.30
and he was listening to
everything we were saying.
00:24:01.34\00:24:04.57
And at the end of
the meeting, he said,
00:24:04.61\00:24:06.04
"Oh, please,
please, could I just please
00:24:06.07\00:24:08.94
have a DVD player and a DVD disc
00:24:08.98\00:24:11.28
and the lessons."
00:24:11.31\00:24:12.65
He said, "I want to
hold evangelistic meetings."
00:24:12.68\00:24:15.02
Well, he was so precious.
00:24:15.05\00:24:16.38
And he was so
excited and so motivated.
00:24:16.42\00:24:18.42
We said, "Okay,
we'll be happy to do that."
00:24:18.45\00:24:21.19
Well, he went home
00:24:21.22\00:24:23.46
and he had the
very first meeting,
00:24:23.53\00:24:25.66
he had six people that
came and all six were baptized.
00:24:25.69\00:24:29.56
Glory to God.
Now, two years later...
00:24:29.60\00:24:32.20
Now, wait a minute.
00:24:32.23\00:24:33.57
Let me hit the pause
button just a second.
00:24:33.64\00:24:35.87
Because what you just
highlighted without us
00:24:35.90\00:24:40.08
and I don't want
to just skip over it.
00:24:40.11\00:24:42.04
Is these studies,
00:24:42.08\00:24:44.41
these lesson
plans are all scripted?
00:24:44.45\00:24:49.12
All scripted. A 10
year old could do it.
00:24:49.15\00:24:51.12
If you can read,
you could do it, right?
00:24:51.15\00:24:52.92
Exactly.
00:24:52.95\00:24:54.29
And so it is something
00:24:54.32\00:24:55.66
that you don't have
to be intimidated by,
00:24:55.69\00:24:57.99
like, well, I
don't know what to say
00:24:58.03\00:25:00.53
because you've got everything
right at your fingertips.
00:25:00.60\00:25:04.27
And a 14 year old holds a study
00:25:04.30\00:25:07.44
and baptizes all six
members that are visitors.
00:25:07.47\00:25:11.17
And we have had as
young as 12 and as old as 90.
00:25:11.21\00:25:15.14
Praise God.
00:25:15.18\00:25:16.51
So you never have to say,
I'm too old or I'm too young.
00:25:16.54\00:25:19.38
You're never
too old or too young
00:25:19.41\00:25:21.05
to give the Bible studies.
00:25:21.08\00:25:22.45
They're all there
available for you.
00:25:22.48\00:25:24.35
Amen. Amen.
00:25:24.39\00:25:25.72
So we just praise the
Lord but after two years,
00:25:25.75\00:25:28.99
we went back and
we saw the young man
00:25:29.02\00:25:31.56
and we said, "Hi, how are you?
00:25:31.59\00:25:35.43
How's everything
going with your study
00:25:35.46\00:25:37.60
with your
evangelistic meetings?"
00:25:37.63\00:25:40.14
I don't do that anymore.
00:25:40.17\00:25:42.60
What?
00:25:42.64\00:25:44.14
What happened?"
00:25:44.21\00:25:45.61
He said, "I train
the other young people
00:25:45.64\00:25:49.41
to give evangelistic meetings."
00:25:49.44\00:25:51.88
And he literally was training
younger people than himself
00:25:51.91\00:25:55.85
to give the home Bible studies.
00:25:55.88\00:25:58.09
And he had so many souls that
he had won to God's kingdom.
00:25:58.12\00:26:01.56
And you know, this is
the thing that's amazing.
00:26:01.59\00:26:04.33
Young people as
well as older people
00:26:04.36\00:26:07.00
are on fire for understanding.
00:26:07.03\00:26:09.70
The sharing of God's word
is so vital in our time today.
00:26:09.73\00:26:13.64
And this is why we just
love doing what we're doing.
00:26:13.67\00:26:16.60
You've had amazing
results in South America.
00:26:16.64\00:26:21.18
Amazing.
00:26:21.21\00:26:22.64
Now, I don't want to say guess.
00:26:22.68\00:26:24.65
But I'll tell you,
you will never guess,
00:26:24.68\00:26:27.52
in South America,
00:26:27.55\00:26:29.18
there are 76,000 small
group home Bible studies.
00:26:29.22\00:26:35.86
As Danny would say,
that's a two hander, 76,000.
00:26:35.89\00:26:40.60
Seventy six thousand.
00:26:40.63\00:26:42.40
They understand
00:26:42.43\00:26:44.47
the importance of small
group home Bible studies
00:26:44.50\00:26:47.47
from the top of the conference
00:26:47.54\00:26:49.47
all the way down to
the people in the churches.
00:26:49.50\00:26:52.37
When I go and I give...
00:26:52.41\00:26:53.88
When I give this small
group home Bible study training,
00:26:53.91\00:26:57.45
the New Beginnings
training in South America,
00:26:57.48\00:27:00.42
the conference
president shows up,
00:27:00.45\00:27:02.98
the personal ministry shows up,
00:27:03.02\00:27:06.52
all the conference
people are right there
00:27:06.55\00:27:09.49
going all the way
through the training.
00:27:09.52\00:27:11.56
That's how involved they are.
00:27:11.59\00:27:13.09
And they have
banners, they have T-shirts,
00:27:13.13\00:27:16.30
they have flags,
they have everything.
00:27:16.33\00:27:18.90
They know why small
group home Bible studies
00:27:18.93\00:27:23.51
has been so successful.
00:27:23.54\00:27:25.57
The New Beginnings program
00:27:25.61\00:27:27.18
is the most
outstanding soul winning program
00:27:27.21\00:27:30.25
around the world.
00:27:30.28\00:27:31.61
And that's why you're seeing
00:27:31.65\00:27:32.98
such an explosive growth of
the church in South America.
00:27:33.01\00:27:36.42
Exactly,
exactly. That's amazing.
00:27:36.45\00:27:40.06
They love having us come
and do training down there.
00:27:40.09\00:27:43.09
So I just, that's
one of my passions
00:27:43.12\00:27:44.99
is to go to South America.
00:27:45.03\00:27:46.36
Okay, so tell us about Bolivia.
00:27:46.39\00:27:49.90
What happened there?
00:27:49.93\00:27:51.27
And then we're going to
get to what you're doing today?
00:27:51.30\00:27:53.17
We went to...
00:27:53.20\00:27:54.54
I went down to
Bolivia and we did training,
00:27:54.57\00:27:57.94
we had over 1,500 people
00:27:57.97\00:28:00.11
that we trained in
Cochabamba, Bolivia.
00:28:00.18\00:28:03.35
When we went down
there, there was a general
00:28:03.38\00:28:05.68
that was giving his testimony.
00:28:05.71\00:28:07.95
Two years earlier,
00:28:07.98\00:28:09.32
through small
group home Bible studies,
00:28:09.35\00:28:12.52
his wife and three
daughters had been baptized,
00:28:12.55\00:28:16.02
and every Sabbath they
would pray and pray and pray
00:28:16.06\00:28:19.46
and ask their
papa, they call him papa.
00:28:19.49\00:28:22.66
Papa, please, please come,
00:28:22.70\00:28:25.20
please come and
come to church with us.
00:28:25.23\00:28:27.67
And he'd say, "Nope!"
00:28:27.70\00:28:29.04
And he march off
and he go to work.
00:28:29.07\00:28:31.17
Well, again, every
Sabbath, every week,
00:28:31.21\00:28:33.78
they would pray
and pray and pray.
00:28:33.81\00:28:35.31
After two years, the
smallest little daughter,
00:28:35.34\00:28:39.65
she said to her, papa,
00:28:39.68\00:28:41.02
"Oh, Papa, please won't
you come to church with us?"
00:28:41.05\00:28:45.82
Okay.
00:28:45.85\00:28:47.19
So of course, he went to church
and after a series of meetings,
00:28:47.26\00:28:50.43
he became baptized.
00:28:50.46\00:28:52.29
Now his testimony was that
00:28:52.33\00:28:54.00
he was holding evangelistic
meetings in his home...
00:28:54.03\00:28:58.10
The New Beginnings that is.
00:28:58.13\00:28:59.47
The New Beginnings, and
32 people were baptized.
00:28:59.50\00:29:02.64
And he was inviting all
the top government officials.
00:29:02.67\00:29:06.98
He was the top
general of Bolivia.
00:29:07.01\00:29:09.44
And he was inviting
all the top generals
00:29:09.48\00:29:11.81
and all the top
officials of the government
00:29:11.85\00:29:15.08
to come to the meetings.
00:29:15.12\00:29:16.45
And he said, "Next
year, I'm going to have
00:29:16.48\00:29:18.82
three evangelistic
small group home Bible studies
00:29:18.85\00:29:23.02
in my home next year.
00:29:23.06\00:29:24.89
And I continue to ask
00:29:24.93\00:29:26.46
all of the top people
in the government to come.
00:29:26.49\00:29:29.33
You know what's so
powerful about that
00:29:29.36\00:29:31.40
if, you know, and I
do evangelistic series,
00:29:31.43\00:29:35.70
and I'm not saying
that's a bad thing.
00:29:35.74\00:29:38.17
A lot of times, if the church
00:29:38.21\00:29:40.71
don't personally
invite people and bring them,
00:29:40.78\00:29:43.65
you can do a lot of advertising,
00:29:43.68\00:29:45.08
and there's not
always that big of a turnout,
00:29:45.11\00:29:47.95
but it's good for the church.
00:29:47.98\00:29:49.92
It helps cement them,
00:29:49.95\00:29:51.29
they may see
things in a new way.
00:29:51.32\00:29:53.56
And, you know, it's affective,
00:29:53.59\00:29:55.49
I believe in
evangelism in all my heart,
00:29:55.52\00:29:58.63
but as you said
there are, you know,
00:29:58.66\00:30:01.53
the evangelists people
00:30:01.56\00:30:03.97
will bond with
you as the evangelist,
00:30:04.00\00:30:06.40
you leave town,
00:30:06.43\00:30:07.80
if they're not
really well supported,
00:30:07.84\00:30:10.04
get bond to the church,
00:30:10.11\00:30:11.97
they can begin to kind
of drop off there just here,
00:30:12.01\00:30:16.28
but just think about
this for just a second.
00:30:16.31\00:30:19.28
How many of these
top government officials
00:30:19.31\00:30:24.29
do you think if you
invited to church would say,
00:30:24.32\00:30:26.79
"Oh, sure, we'll
come to church with you?"
00:30:26.86\00:30:29.59
Probably that many.
00:30:29.62\00:30:34.20
But by having this
in the home, you know,
00:30:34.23\00:30:39.33
and there his co-workers,
00:30:39.37\00:30:42.70
people that he
is associated with,
00:30:42.74\00:30:46.91
they felt
comfortable to come to his home.
00:30:46.98\00:30:49.71
Now they're hearing the truth,
and they're becoming baptized.
00:30:49.74\00:30:54.58
To me this is the
most exciting project
00:30:54.62\00:30:59.32
that is going on in our church,
00:30:59.35\00:31:01.32
because this is the only
way we're going to reach people
00:31:01.36\00:31:05.39
that they can't get
to come to your church.
00:31:05.43\00:31:08.26
And just the way it's structured
00:31:08.30\00:31:10.47
where you don't
have to worry about
00:31:10.50\00:31:12.87
whether or not
you know anything.
00:31:12.90\00:31:14.54
You've got the script to do it.
00:31:14.57\00:31:16.71
You've got a team for that
00:31:16.74\00:31:19.51
our prayer
partners that are prayed up
00:31:19.54\00:31:22.98
over the ones
you're going to invite,
00:31:23.01\00:31:25.15
that you've got somebody
that can focus on being a host,
00:31:25.18\00:31:28.95
there's somebody that
can focus on the media.
00:31:28.98\00:31:32.29
I mean, everything
about this is just amazing.
00:31:32.32\00:31:35.79
Exactly.
00:31:35.82\00:31:37.16
It's amazing and we need
it here in the United States.
00:31:37.23\00:31:39.93
And I know you have been
doing this for some time.
00:31:40.00\00:31:43.77
And let me tell you something,
00:31:43.80\00:31:45.43
when they're
volunteering for ASI doing this.
00:31:45.47\00:31:49.77
You even have to cover
00:31:49.80\00:31:51.14
your own travel
costs, don't you?
00:31:51.17\00:31:52.51
Yes.
00:31:52.54\00:31:53.88
And you've been just
recently to Paris and down to,
00:31:53.91\00:31:57.65
where were you?
00:31:57.68\00:31:59.01
And the last 30
days I've been to Paris
00:31:59.05\00:32:01.02
where I trained Friday night,
all day, Saturday and Sunday.
00:32:01.05\00:32:04.42
I came back and then I turned
around a week, two weeks later.
00:32:04.45\00:32:07.66
And I went to Brazil to Recife,
Brazil and we trained there...
00:32:07.69\00:32:11.66
That's where you got that
little pink sun tan, isn't it?
00:32:11.69\00:32:14.20
Nine hundred people.
00:32:14.23\00:32:15.63
And then I came back,
00:32:15.66\00:32:17.00
and then I just came
back Sunday from Houston.
00:32:17.07\00:32:19.87
We trained over the
weekend down in Houston.
00:32:19.90\00:32:22.70
And so it's just been,
00:32:22.74\00:32:24.64
we're starting to go to
North America more often.
00:32:24.67\00:32:28.41
All right. So
that's what we want to...
00:32:28.44\00:32:29.91
I want to bring this around.
00:32:29.94\00:32:31.31
A lot of you who are watching
may be familiar with this,
00:32:31.35\00:32:34.82
if you're outside the
States, unfortunately,
00:32:34.85\00:32:38.95
we need it most here.
00:32:38.99\00:32:40.36
I mean, this is a
wonderful mission field
00:32:40.39\00:32:42.36
right here in the United States.
00:32:42.39\00:32:44.66
There's so many people
00:32:44.69\00:32:46.09
who are no
longer a part of church.
00:32:46.13\00:32:49.73
You know, we used to consider
ourself a Christian nation,
00:32:49.76\00:32:53.44
but I don't know anymore.
00:32:53.47\00:32:55.00
So tell us what's
going on in the States
00:32:55.04\00:32:58.91
because you are ready to say,
00:32:58.94\00:33:00.48
okay, I've done
this long enough,
00:33:00.51\00:33:01.84
I'm about to retire.
00:33:01.88\00:33:03.45
As I said, she has to
pay all of her own expenses
00:33:03.48\00:33:06.55
and often buy
her own tools, right?
00:33:06.58\00:33:09.15
Amen. Yes, we do.
00:33:09.18\00:33:10.52
But you know, the one thing
00:33:10.59\00:33:12.29
and I just want to
show this real quickly here,
00:33:12.32\00:33:14.69
if they can...
00:33:14.72\00:33:16.06
Yeah, USB drive.
This is a flash drive.
00:33:16.09\00:33:18.79
And on this flash
drive is all of the lessons,
00:33:18.83\00:33:22.53
all of the
PowerPoint presentations.
00:33:22.56\00:33:25.90
We also have
health lectures on there.
00:33:25.93\00:33:28.44
So this is a tool that we use
00:33:28.47\00:33:31.74
to be able to
give to the attendees
00:33:31.77\00:33:34.41
that are involved
in the small groups.
00:33:34.44\00:33:36.78
So they have everything
right here in their fingertips,
00:33:36.85\00:33:39.95
and we encourage...
00:33:40.02\00:33:41.65
The biggest problem we have
00:33:41.68\00:33:43.18
is we have to
pay for everything.
00:33:43.22\00:33:44.92
We had 200 of these
at our last training
00:33:44.95\00:33:48.49
and it's close to
$1,000 by the time
00:33:48.52\00:33:51.43
they load the lessons
00:33:51.46\00:33:52.79
and put on all the
PowerPoint presentation.
00:33:52.83\00:33:55.73
So yes, it is expensive
00:33:55.76\00:33:57.57
and but we're doing
this in other countries
00:33:57.60\00:34:00.74
that don't have projectors
or don't have DVD players
00:34:00.77\00:34:03.91
and things like
that, but you know,
00:34:03.94\00:34:05.64
I want to tell you
one more quick story.
00:34:05.67\00:34:07.88
Sure.
00:34:07.91\00:34:09.44
Right here in North
America, a lady in Wisconsin,
00:34:09.48\00:34:12.35
she was 84 years old.
00:34:12.38\00:34:14.02
Her husband was 90.
00:34:14.05\00:34:16.99
Her husband took her to
church every single Sabbath,
00:34:17.02\00:34:19.92
but he would never come in.
00:34:19.95\00:34:21.99
Well, she went
through the training
00:34:22.02\00:34:23.56
and she asked her
husband, she said,
00:34:23.63\00:34:26.13
"Honey, I would like to
have training in our home."
00:34:26.16\00:34:29.33
Smart woman.
00:34:29.36\00:34:30.70
She said, "Would you please
let me have the training?"
00:34:30.77\00:34:33.10
And he said, "No, no, no, no.
00:34:33.13\00:34:34.94
I don't want anybody
coming into our home."
00:34:34.97\00:34:36.81
She said, "Oh, honey, please."
00:34:36.84\00:34:38.57
"Well, okay. Okay."
00:34:38.61\00:34:41.84
Well, then she
said to her husband.
00:34:41.88\00:34:43.55
"You know, honey,
00:34:43.58\00:34:45.15
I don't know anything about
all this electrical equipment
00:34:45.18\00:34:48.12
and the technology of
how to advance the slides
00:34:48.15\00:34:51.65
and the DVD, all that stuff."
00:34:51.69\00:34:53.39
She said, "Would you please,
please help me, just please?"
00:34:53.46\00:34:57.53
Okay.
00:34:57.56\00:34:59.03
Well, of course,
we know what happened.
00:34:59.06\00:35:00.70
He had to read the script,
00:35:00.73\00:35:02.36
he had to follow
along with the lessons,
00:35:02.40\00:35:04.70
he had to listen to the speaker.
00:35:04.73\00:35:07.14
And, of course, at the end
of the series at 90 years old,
00:35:07.17\00:35:09.94
he was baptized.
00:35:10.01\00:35:11.34
Glory to God.
00:35:11.37\00:35:12.71
Now this is right
here in North America.
00:35:12.74\00:35:14.11
You know, the
joy that people feel
00:35:14.18\00:35:18.11
when they know the good
news of the gospel is something
00:35:18.15\00:35:21.22
that we can never describe.
00:35:21.25\00:35:23.05
There's an inner
joy, and inner passion,
00:35:23.08\00:35:26.25
and inner love that we
have when we're first baptized.
00:35:26.29\00:35:29.72
I wish we could
hold on to it forever.
00:35:29.76\00:35:32.39
But the blessing of baptism
is the most wonderful reward
00:35:32.43\00:35:36.87
of these small
group home Bible studies.
00:35:36.90\00:35:38.60
Amen.
00:35:38.63\00:35:39.97
And I just praise
the Lord for the people
00:35:40.04\00:35:42.10
who are willing to say
to themselves, you know,
00:35:42.14\00:35:46.37
I want to be a part
00:35:46.41\00:35:48.41
of saving souls in God's kingdom
00:35:48.44\00:35:50.55
because time is running out.
00:35:50.58\00:35:52.61
You know, Sister White tells us
small group home Bible studies
00:35:52.65\00:35:58.49
are going to be the
most important thing
00:35:58.52\00:36:00.99
to help finish the
work in the last days.
00:36:01.02\00:36:03.93
There will come a time
00:36:03.96\00:36:05.29
because of
political correctness,
00:36:05.33\00:36:06.80
that we won't be able
to share the gospel openly.
00:36:06.83\00:36:10.47
So we're going to
have to have small groups.
00:36:10.50\00:36:12.83
We're going to have to have
00:36:12.87\00:36:14.24
those small group
home Bible studies.
00:36:14.27\00:36:16.54
When we do that,
it's very, very vital
00:36:16.57\00:36:19.84
that we're given
the necessary tools
00:36:19.87\00:36:21.88
and the necessary equipment.
00:36:21.91\00:36:23.75
And this is what
ASI is willing to do.
00:36:23.78\00:36:26.18
They're willing to give us
00:36:26.21\00:36:27.55
the tools, the
equipment and all the things
00:36:27.62\00:36:30.72
that are necessary for us
00:36:30.79\00:36:32.15
to share the gospel with others.
00:36:32.19\00:36:34.69
And this is a proven program.
00:36:34.72\00:36:37.63
So far, how many places
have you really just kind of...
00:36:37.66\00:36:42.00
This is the year you're kicking
this off here in the States.
00:36:42.03\00:36:45.17
How many places have you gone
in United States to share this?
00:36:45.20\00:36:49.20
I personally have
only gone to Houston.
00:36:49.24\00:36:51.41
Okay.
00:36:51.44\00:36:52.77
Now, this is
something that I regret
00:36:52.81\00:36:54.88
because I've been
all over the world
00:36:54.91\00:36:56.75
with the New
Beginnings training.
00:36:56.78\00:36:58.11
I have been everywhere.
00:36:58.15\00:36:59.65
I've been in, over
in the Philippines,
00:36:59.68\00:37:02.28
I've been over in Europe,
00:37:02.32\00:37:03.69
I've been in
everywhere around the world.
00:37:03.72\00:37:06.96
But the burden that we have now
00:37:06.99\00:37:09.69
is to do the small
groups in our churches.
00:37:09.72\00:37:12.79
The lady that was
trained in Wisconsin
00:37:12.83\00:37:15.10
was another group
that was training.
00:37:15.13\00:37:17.20
There has been
training in Portland, Maine.
00:37:17.27\00:37:19.60
Okay.
00:37:19.63\00:37:20.97
So the different ASI Chapters,
00:37:21.00\00:37:22.87
are they
overseeing this training?
00:37:22.90\00:37:24.84
What we're going to be doing,
00:37:24.87\00:37:26.21
and this is what I
was just doing in Houston.
00:37:26.24\00:37:28.21
As we were training,
00:37:28.24\00:37:29.58
I trained the
Southwest Chapter in Houston,
00:37:29.61\00:37:33.35
to give the training
for this New Beginnings.
00:37:33.42\00:37:36.89
I also had the
general vice president
00:37:36.92\00:37:40.06
for Mid-America who flew down,
00:37:40.09\00:37:41.79
and he came down
to learn the training.
00:37:41.82\00:37:45.03
So we're just
starting with our Chapters
00:37:45.06\00:37:47.33
here in North America
00:37:47.40\00:37:49.00
to learn to give the
training to our churches.
00:37:49.03\00:37:52.63
Now it's very impossible
for me to travel everywhere,
00:37:52.67\00:37:56.37
but with training people
00:37:56.40\00:37:58.31
to do the training in the church
00:37:58.34\00:38:00.38
and also in conference halls.
00:38:00.41\00:38:04.25
In some places
00:38:04.28\00:38:05.61
we literally
trained in auditoriums
00:38:05.65\00:38:08.85
because we have so many people,
00:38:08.88\00:38:10.89
especially like
in South America,
00:38:10.92\00:38:12.55
we'll have 2,000 people
00:38:12.59\00:38:14.06
sometimes they will train
and they are so dedicated.
00:38:14.09\00:38:17.63
You know, when I was
down in South America,
00:38:17.66\00:38:20.60
they had people
that got on a bus,
00:38:20.63\00:38:22.86
went 24 hours to
come to the training,
00:38:22.90\00:38:26.50
went to the
training all day long
00:38:26.53\00:38:28.44
from 8 o'clock in the morning
until 6 o'clock at night,
00:38:28.47\00:38:31.77
got back on a bus,
went 24 hours back home
00:38:31.81\00:38:35.24
and went to work the next day.
00:38:35.28\00:38:37.88
Now, you know,
00:38:37.91\00:38:39.35
South America is one country
00:38:39.38\00:38:41.25
that's on fire for this program.
00:38:41.28\00:38:44.19
North America, we have
too many people that say,
00:38:44.22\00:38:48.49
"Oh, I work all
week, I'm too tired.
00:38:48.52\00:38:50.36
I can't give, you know,
00:38:50.43\00:38:51.76
I can't give small
group home Bible studies."
00:38:51.79\00:38:54.40
Now, I simply say to them,
00:38:54.43\00:38:56.13
what are you doing Friday night?
00:38:56.16\00:38:58.90
What happens Friday night? Yes.
00:38:58.93\00:39:01.00
That's a good time
to give a small group.
00:39:01.04\00:39:03.20
What are you
doing Sabbath afternoon
00:39:03.24\00:39:04.94
or Sabbath evening?
00:39:04.97\00:39:06.31
You can give a small group home
Bible study over the weekend.
00:39:06.34\00:39:09.68
People in other
countries makes no difference,
00:39:09.71\00:39:12.98
they'll work hard all
day, and they'll still give
00:39:13.01\00:39:15.55
their small group home
Bible studies every night.
00:39:15.58\00:39:18.52
In North America,
we're telling people,
00:39:18.55\00:39:21.19
start Friday nights
00:39:21.22\00:39:22.66
and see how it
goes in your home.
00:39:22.69\00:39:25.23
I always tell
people, never be discouraged.
00:39:25.26\00:39:27.50
God knows those people
who need to know the gospel,
00:39:27.53\00:39:32.27
and He's going to
bring those people to you.
00:39:32.30\00:39:34.94
Amen. You just have to believe.
00:39:34.97\00:39:36.81
You have to pray.
00:39:36.84\00:39:38.17
You have to earnestly
seek the Lord and say,
00:39:38.21\00:39:40.98
Lord, you know those people.
00:39:41.01\00:39:42.88
I can't tell you
how many testimonies
00:39:42.91\00:39:44.71
I have of people that I meet
00:39:44.75\00:39:46.82
that I just
share a snippet of my
00:39:46.85\00:39:48.62
not only my personal testimony,
00:39:48.65\00:39:50.39
but I share a
snippet of the prophecies
00:39:50.42\00:39:52.39
and then I say to them,
00:39:52.42\00:39:54.06
would you like to
study more about the Bible?
00:39:54.09\00:39:56.39
And I know there are people
out there who are frightened,
00:39:56.42\00:40:00.00
they are scared
00:40:00.03\00:40:01.36
because they don't
know what's happening.
00:40:01.40\00:40:03.23
They see the chaos in the world.
00:40:03.26\00:40:05.27
And they know that
there's uncertainty.
00:40:05.30\00:40:07.64
And I tell them, if
you want to have certainty,
00:40:07.67\00:40:10.44
hope, and
promise for the future,
00:40:10.51\00:40:13.61
you know, you can have
that when you study the Bible.
00:40:13.68\00:40:16.54
Glory to God.
00:40:16.58\00:40:17.91
What a wonderful
way to go about it.
00:40:17.95\00:40:19.38
Yes. And that's
what we need to do.
00:40:19.41\00:40:21.15
And I know that this
program in North America
00:40:21.18\00:40:23.99
is going to be a program
many, many people I believe
00:40:24.02\00:40:28.49
will understand the
urgency and the importance
00:40:28.52\00:40:30.96
of the times we're living in,
00:40:30.99\00:40:32.33
and they want to
start this program.
00:40:32.36\00:40:34.03
Amen.
00:40:34.10\00:40:35.43
So people, if you are
going into a conference,
00:40:35.46\00:40:41.20
and the conference is just a
group of churches in an area,
00:40:41.24\00:40:46.01
this is just part of the way
00:40:46.04\00:40:47.41
the Seventh-day
Adventist Church is organized
00:40:47.48\00:40:50.75
so that we call
that a conference.
00:40:50.78\00:40:53.11
So if you were going
into the conference to train,
00:40:53.15\00:40:57.39
you're just training people...
00:40:57.42\00:40:58.75
How long is the training?
00:40:58.79\00:41:00.86
Let's say that I
want to do these classes
00:41:00.89\00:41:04.63
or these home group meetings.
00:41:04.66\00:41:06.73
How long is the
training usually?
00:41:06.80\00:41:08.63
Well, what we normally
do is we start on Sabbath
00:41:08.66\00:41:12.13
from 9 o'clock in the
morning until 4:30 or 5 o'clock.
00:41:12.17\00:41:15.90
Now in Houston,
we started at 9:30,
00:41:15.94\00:41:18.67
and we went till
almost 6 o'clock.
00:41:18.71\00:41:21.04
But the people
are just energized
00:41:21.08\00:41:23.28
and excited about it.
00:41:23.35\00:41:24.68
So they're willing to stay.
00:41:24.71\00:41:26.05
And, of course, we
have fellowship lunch
00:41:26.08\00:41:28.38
during the lunch
hour, but we normally go...
00:41:28.42\00:41:32.75
In Paris, I
started Friday night,
00:41:32.79\00:41:35.09
went all day Sabbath until
from 9 o'clock in the morning
00:41:35.12\00:41:38.23
until 4:30 in the afternoon.
00:41:38.26\00:41:40.50
So it generally is one day so...
00:41:40.53\00:41:42.90
And when people finish
with that one day training,
00:41:42.93\00:41:45.33
they've gotten some ideas
00:41:45.37\00:41:48.57
of what will
make their small group
00:41:48.60\00:41:51.07
very successful.
00:41:51.11\00:41:52.67
How long does it
usually take people
00:41:52.71\00:41:54.44
once they go through training
before they actually go out
00:41:54.48\00:41:57.18
and get their team put together
00:41:57.25\00:41:59.28
and start
praying over the names?
00:41:59.31\00:42:01.45
What we recommend
is we tell everybody
00:42:01.48\00:42:04.52
that comes to the meetings,
00:42:04.55\00:42:06.02
the training, they
are the team leader.
00:42:06.05\00:42:09.19
So as an example, if
you came to the meeting,
00:42:09.22\00:42:11.36
Shelley, I would say,
00:42:11.39\00:42:12.73
"Now, Shelley,
you're the team leader.
00:42:12.76\00:42:14.33
You go back and you
find three other people
00:42:14.36\00:42:17.83
to be on your team."
00:42:17.87\00:42:19.37
And generally,
that's how it happens.
00:42:19.40\00:42:21.30
Those are the team leaders.
00:42:21.34\00:42:23.91
Then after that,
we, as I said before,
00:42:23.94\00:42:28.08
we recommend
that you make a list
00:42:28.11\00:42:29.71
of your names, the 10 names,
00:42:29.74\00:42:31.41
and then the 40
names that we pray over.
00:42:31.45\00:42:33.92
So each one of the team is
putting 10 names in the pot?
00:42:33.95\00:42:37.79
Exactly.
00:42:37.82\00:42:39.15
Now, as an example,
we went to Guatemala,
00:42:39.19\00:42:41.92
in January, they
had 123 baptisms.
00:42:41.96\00:42:45.49
And, now this is in the
northern division in Guatemala.
00:42:45.53\00:42:49.43
They had 123 baptisms.
00:42:49.46\00:42:51.50
In February, they
had like 148 baptisms.
00:42:51.53\00:42:55.07
We went down
February 8th and 9th
00:42:55.10\00:42:58.24
and we trained
February 8th and 9th,
00:42:58.27\00:43:00.98
they went home.
00:43:01.01\00:43:02.34
They formed their small groups.
00:43:02.38\00:43:04.05
They started?
their Bible lessons.
00:43:04.08\00:43:05.61
In April, they had 848
baptisms as a result...
00:43:05.65\00:43:10.99
That gave me chills.
00:43:11.02\00:43:12.69
Of the training
and the small groups,
00:43:12.72\00:43:15.29
you see the difference.
00:43:15.32\00:43:16.66
Glory to God.
This is so exciting.
00:43:16.73\00:43:18.69
When we do the small groups,
00:43:18.73\00:43:20.70
when we set up
these small groups,
00:43:20.73\00:43:23.13
the increase is because
the people are connected,
00:43:23.16\00:43:27.04
the people are nurtured,
the people are involved.
00:43:27.07\00:43:29.70
Amen.
00:43:29.74\00:43:31.07
And it's because
you're getting people
00:43:31.11\00:43:32.44
to come to your home
that you could probably
00:43:32.47\00:43:34.01
never get to an
auditorium or a church.
00:43:34.08\00:43:36.78
Exactly, exactly.
00:43:36.85\00:43:38.55
And this is so vital
that we just remember
00:43:38.58\00:43:41.45
that this is a
project that I believe God
00:43:41.48\00:43:45.05
is going to continue
to bless and increase
00:43:45.09\00:43:47.86
as we go and do the training.
00:43:47.89\00:43:50.56
We encourage if we're
going to have training,
00:43:50.63\00:43:52.76
we encourage that
four or five churches
00:43:52.79\00:43:55.73
as an example in Houston.
00:43:55.76\00:43:57.27
They invited all
the local churches
00:43:57.30\00:43:59.27
to come together
for the training.
00:43:59.30\00:44:01.97
So we encourage,
00:44:02.00\00:44:03.34
if you're going
to have the training
00:44:03.41\00:44:04.74
that you have it
all the area churches
00:44:04.77\00:44:07.21
come together for the training
00:44:07.28\00:44:09.21
because it is
very, very intensive,
00:44:09.24\00:44:11.35
the very, it's energizing,
it's motivating, it's exciting.
00:44:11.38\00:44:16.62
The ministries
are just wonderful.
00:44:16.69\00:44:19.25
We always start out
00:44:19.29\00:44:20.66
with the New
Beginnings experiences.
00:44:20.69\00:44:22.82
And then we talk
about why, why evangelism?
00:44:22.86\00:44:25.66
Why is evangelism so
vital to each one of us?
00:44:25.69\00:44:28.96
If our ministry is going to grow
00:44:29.00\00:44:30.77
and our relationship
with God is going to grow,
00:44:30.80\00:44:33.57
we need to be
involved in outreach.
00:44:33.64\00:44:36.40
We need to be involved
00:44:36.44\00:44:37.77
in some type of
ministry and sharing,
00:44:37.81\00:44:40.38
but then we go into
all the important aspect
00:44:40.41\00:44:44.25
of forming the small groups,
00:44:44.28\00:44:47.22
having the importance
of taking those groups
00:44:47.25\00:44:50.39
and going into visitation.
00:44:50.42\00:44:53.99
It's so vital that
once we start the groups
00:44:54.06\00:44:56.46
that we visit with the people.
00:44:56.49\00:44:58.39
You know, we had
another young man,
00:44:58.43\00:45:01.13
he went through
all the meetings,
00:45:01.16\00:45:02.93
and he was so interested
00:45:02.96\00:45:05.37
and so excited about everything.
00:45:05.40\00:45:07.80
And then we got
down to the final appeal
00:45:07.84\00:45:10.31
of being baptized and
he wasn't there anymore.
00:45:10.34\00:45:15.21
We thought what happened?
00:45:15.24\00:45:18.08
Well, of course,
went out to visit him.
00:45:18.11\00:45:20.52
Knocked on the door.
00:45:20.55\00:45:21.88
We could hear that
somebody was inside
00:45:21.92\00:45:23.49
but he didn't come to the door.
00:45:23.52\00:45:25.72
Well, we kept knocking.
00:45:25.75\00:45:27.09
Well, finally
he came to the door
00:45:27.16\00:45:28.72
and we said, "Well,
Peter, what's the matter?"
00:45:28.76\00:45:32.99
And he sat down and he said,
00:45:33.03\00:45:36.23
"I was almost drowned
when I was a little boy,
00:45:36.26\00:45:40.04
I don't want to be
baptized because I'll drown."
00:45:40.07\00:45:43.07
Now, you know, this is why
00:45:43.10\00:45:44.44
it's vital that we
visit and spend time
00:45:44.47\00:45:46.98
because once we visit
and we spend time with people
00:45:47.01\00:45:49.74
and get them to make a
commitment to the Lord.
00:45:49.78\00:45:52.08
Well, of course, we showed him
00:45:52.11\00:45:53.52
all the
simpleness of the baptism
00:45:53.55\00:45:56.42
and the fact that
we would guarantee
00:45:56.45\00:45:58.19
he's going to be just fine.
00:45:58.22\00:45:59.65
He was baptized, so. Praise God.
00:45:59.69\00:46:01.76
You know, everybody,
00:46:01.79\00:46:03.32
it's so vital we
spend time together
00:46:03.36\00:46:05.39
and we visit together,
we spend time understanding.
00:46:05.43\00:46:09.00
Let me see your USB.
00:46:09.03\00:46:10.57
So once somebody has
gone through the training,
00:46:10.60\00:46:14.24
you give them this
little flash drive.
00:46:14.27\00:46:15.97
Correct.
00:46:16.00\00:46:17.34
And this can either plug
into your TV, or to a computer,
00:46:17.41\00:46:20.01
or you can hook
your computer to your TV.
00:46:20.08\00:46:22.34
And everything's
here? Everything is here.
00:46:22.38\00:46:24.28
So how much does this cost?
00:46:24.31\00:46:26.92
Depending on the quantities.
00:46:26.95\00:46:28.72
Now, we're starting out,
this one, particular one?
00:46:28.75\00:46:31.75
because of the fact that
we only had 200 flash drives.
00:46:31.79\00:46:35.82
This one was a
little more expensive,
00:46:35.86\00:46:37.36
but we can get the cost
down to about $4 a flash drive.
00:46:37.43\00:46:41.43
When you were saying expensive,
I was, 100 bucks, you know.
00:46:41.46\00:46:45.67
Well, when we
have to do projectors,
00:46:45.70\00:46:47.54
well, in some countries
00:46:47.57\00:46:49.10
we have done
projectors in the States.
00:46:49.14\00:46:51.71
Right now let's focus on States
00:46:51.74\00:46:53.78
because if ever there
is a Laodicean attitude,
00:46:53.81\00:46:59.01
you heard what she said
00:46:59.05\00:47:00.42
that there's so many people here
00:47:00.45\00:47:01.95
and we're all guilty of it.
00:47:01.98\00:47:03.99
You know, because
we've been talking,
00:47:04.02\00:47:05.75
my husband and
I've been talking about
00:47:05.79\00:47:07.19
starting a small
group but it's like,
00:47:07.26\00:47:09.36
"Oh, we travel all the
time. Oh, we work so hard."
00:47:09.39\00:47:12.56
But, you know,
00:47:12.59\00:47:14.10
it's something that all of us
just need to do a heart check.
00:47:14.13\00:47:19.80
If we don't love people enough
to share the gospel with them,
00:47:19.83\00:47:23.81
we need to do a heart check.
00:47:23.84\00:47:25.71
So if in the United States,
00:47:25.74\00:47:28.51
then they go
through the training.
00:47:28.54\00:47:30.48
Now, let's say right
now that there's people
00:47:30.55\00:47:32.21
who are watching and saying,
00:47:32.25\00:47:34.25
"I don't know if I can
get a bunch of churches."
00:47:34.32\00:47:36.79
Can they go online
and get some training
00:47:36.82\00:47:39.72
if they can't get to a training?
00:47:39.75\00:47:42.19
What can they do? Absolutely.
00:47:42.22\00:47:43.93
All they have to do is
go to ASIMinistries.org.
00:47:43.96\00:47:48.10
Go to New Beginnings.
00:47:48.13\00:47:49.83
They can download in
32 different languages
00:47:49.86\00:47:53.44
they can download the lessons,
00:47:53.47\00:47:57.87
the PowerPoint presentation
00:47:57.91\00:48:00.28
and in some languages,
even the health lectures.
00:48:00.31\00:48:04.08
So we encourage people
when they have the lessons
00:48:04.15\00:48:06.92
to give just like a
five minute health lecture
00:48:06.95\00:48:09.25
before they
should begin the lessons,
00:48:09.28\00:48:11.35
but I can go to
ASIMinistries.org
00:48:11.39\00:48:15.59
and I can download
all of the information
00:48:15.62\00:48:18.96
that I need to have
00:48:18.99\00:48:20.33
these small group home
Bible studies in my home.
00:48:20.40\00:48:22.50
So all these languages
we're trying to update,
00:48:22.53\00:48:25.80
so we'll have more languages
00:48:25.83\00:48:27.64
and we're going
to have new graphics,
00:48:27.67\00:48:30.04
but right now you can
go to ASIministries.org
00:48:30.11\00:48:33.88
and download New Beginnings.
00:48:33.91\00:48:35.81
And then
download the information
00:48:35.84\00:48:38.15
that you need to
have the lessons.
00:48:38.18\00:48:39.51
Okay, we're going to
put all that information out
00:48:39.55\00:48:41.58
for our viewers
in just a second.
00:48:41.62\00:48:44.29
If people can get a
number of churches together in,
00:48:44.32\00:48:49.29
is there somebody like you
00:48:49.32\00:48:51.53
that can come
out to do a training?
00:48:51.56\00:48:53.80
I can either come out
00:48:53.83\00:48:55.16
or we're going to
start having our Chapters.
00:48:55.20\00:48:57.67
Our Chapter officers
come out to do the training.
00:48:57.70\00:49:00.67
We have people
from all over from ASI
00:49:00.74\00:49:03.51
that are willing
to do the training,
00:49:03.54\00:49:06.24
including our
executive secretary,
00:49:06.27\00:49:08.18
our new executive
secretary for ASI.
00:49:08.21\00:49:10.58
He went with me
00:49:10.65\00:49:11.98
to learn the
training down in Brazil.
00:49:12.01\00:49:13.62
And Denzil
McNeilus went with me.
00:49:13.65\00:49:15.95
Praise God.
00:49:15.98\00:49:17.32
And so we have many people
00:49:17.39\00:49:18.72
that have done the
training over the years,
00:49:18.75\00:49:21.16
and they're
willing to do the training.
00:49:21.19\00:49:23.43
As I keep saying,
00:49:23.46\00:49:24.79
and I mean this
with all of my heart.
00:49:24.83\00:49:26.63
This is not hyperbole.
00:49:26.70\00:49:29.80
I believe this is
the most exciting project
00:49:29.83\00:49:32.63
that is going on
in our church today
00:49:32.67\00:49:34.87
because right here is the truth,
00:49:34.90\00:49:39.21
God's truth
straight from the Bible
00:49:39.24\00:49:42.14
that can change
people's lives for eternity.
00:49:42.18\00:49:46.05
Amen.
00:49:46.08\00:49:47.42
And, you know, I
know Barbara has everybody
00:49:47.45\00:49:50.29
that's traveling with
ASI, they're not getting paid.
00:49:50.32\00:49:52.82
Actually, they're even paying
their own travel expenses,
00:49:52.85\00:49:55.92
and in many instances
00:49:55.96\00:49:57.63
she's had to make a
donation to cover the cost
00:49:57.66\00:50:00.90
of the tools outside
of the United States.
00:50:00.93\00:50:03.47
So my thought is twofold.
00:50:03.50\00:50:06.00
Number one, ah, you need to
get three other people together
00:50:06.03\00:50:12.24
and say, we can do this.
00:50:12.27\00:50:13.88
Let's give it a whirl.
00:50:13.91\00:50:15.41
Let's get this information,
00:50:15.44\00:50:16.95
get a training or
go online for training.
