00:01 Isn't it exciting to see how God motivates
00:03 people to get out and help be His hands and 00:07 His feet?- to give people abundant life. 00:09 Tamara, you look like you're about to pop 00:11 over there. What did you want to say? - Well, 00:14 I see God used the health message. God 00:17 helped me with a part of my life that was a 00:20 problem. I weighed over 250 pounds, and 00:22 through the health message, it gave me 00:24 hope, I lost this weight, and it opened 00:26 the door for me to truly accept Christ in 00:28 every area of my life. And I see that with 00:30 Farm Stew. As we are giving people hope 00:32 and we're helping them with their health, it is 00:34 opening the door for them to give them hope 00:35 in every area of their life so they can accept 00:38 Jesus Christ, so they can come to know the God 00:40 of love. - Amen. Well, Joy, I know that John 00:44 10:10 is a scripture that is close to your heart 00:48 about giving people- or, providing life 00:51 abundant. - Amen. So, I love John 10:10, 00:53 and it's our theme verse for our ministry, 00:55 because in this one verse is the Great 00:58 Controversy. It says, "The thief does not 01:02 come except to steal, to kill, and to destroy," 01:06 and those three things- we see those things: 01:09 death, poverty, and destruction in so many 01:12 people's hearts and in their lives. And yet, Jesus 01:16 says, "I have come that they might have 01:18 life and that they have it more abundantly." 01:21 And what we're seeing in Tamara's story, 01:23 in my own story with the health message, 01:24 which maybe I'll come back and share sometime 01:26 again, but in all these children's lives and 01:29 in our trainers themselves, we see this transformation 01:32 being possible. We see that Jesus equips families 01:37 with what they need to care for their own 01:40 children. - I just want to thank you from the 01:43 bottom of my heart, because each one of 01:45 you are an inspiration. Joy, thank you so much 01:49 for your commitment and dedication to the 01:51 Lord, and to think that you've gone from Mennonite 01:56 to Seventh-Day Adventist, and you were absolutely 02:01 transformed. But Dr. Fred, thank you for 02:03 what you're doing. - Thank you. - And I 02:06 know you've got the passion for these people. 02:09 - I just want to say I have 9 other board 02:12 members that are just fantastic. We have 02:15 strong, engaged- and many volunteers - I 02:19 praise God; I thank you. - Amen. Thank you 02:22 so much, Tamara, as well. And for those of you who 02:25 are at home, our prayer for you is that the grace 02:27 of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the love 02:30 of the Father, and the fellowship of the Holy 02:31 Spirit will be with you always. |
