Well, good. 07:57 Good to have you both today. 07:59 And our audience will find out how you are associated 08:02 in just a moment. 08:03 But this program is about something 08:05 that is precious to all of our hearts. 08:07 You know, here at 3ABN, 08:09 this is an evangelistic network. 08:11 Everything we do is with the goal in mind. 08:14 And that's how the Lord... 08:15 Tell us, Pastor Morgan... 08:18 You said Jason is comfortable. That's right, yeah. 08:20 But you are... 08:22 Tell us what ministry you're connected with? 08:24 Just started the ministry, Prophetic Facts. 08:27 It's an outreach ministry that we do public evangelism, 08:31 we do training seminars for local churches, 08:33 and we do revival meetings for churches as well. 08:35 Okay. 08:36 And about how old is your ministry? 08:38 We just started this year, yeah. 08:40 I started ministry with Amazing Facts, 08:42 I worked for the ministry for 12 years, 08:43 then I worked for the North Specific Union 08:45 for the last 6 years, 08:47 and now just starting my own ministry. 08:49 Yeah, I want to take the gospel to the world. 08:51 That's good. And you know what? 08:52 When you think about the great challenge 08:54 of getting the gospel out there, 08:56 that was his favorite, was the phrase, 08:57 "The harvest is ripe but the laborers are few. 08:59 Pray that the Lord of the harvest 09:00 send forth laborers." 09:02 Amen. Welcome to the field. 09:03 Thank you. 09:05 You've been out there for 12 years, 09:06 but welcome to the field. 09:07 And when you take it personally, 09:09 it takes on a more in-depth meaning. 09:11 Absolutely. 09:12 Yeah, so praise the Lord for that. 09:13 Prophetic Facts, Amazing Facts... 09:15 Prophetic Facts, yeah. Good. 09:16 And so, does that mean you focus more on prophecy 09:18 or an overall broad approach to ministry? 09:21 I do. 09:23 My passion is prophecy, 09:24 it's what got me into the church. 09:26 Okay. Yeah. 09:28 I found a book, I worked in the prison. 09:29 Found the book, taking inmates to the library 09:32 back to their cell. 09:33 And on prophecy, 09:35 one of our publications that really enlightened me 09:37 on the importance 09:39 of the soon coming of Jesus Christ, 09:40 so I've always had a passion for that, 09:42 but always in the context of the gospel. 09:44 You know, we want people to know that 09:45 Jesus should be center and foremost in everything. 09:48 And so, that's what brought me in, 09:50 and I just had a passion for traveling, 09:53 sharing the everlasting gospel in the context 09:55 of the three angels' message. 09:57 Okay, wonderful. 09:58 You said you worked in a prison? 09:59 I did, yeah, several years. 10:01 Tell us about that? 10:02 Ah, I was a competitive bodybuilder 10:04 and worked a rotating shift, 10:06 worked in a private prison system 10:09 down south of Dallas, Texas, worked in 10:12 Johnson County Sheriff's department as well. 10:14 And it's about that time when I was converted 10:17 and decided to keep the Sabbath, 10:20 and you know, soon after that, I was called into the ministry. 10:25 Look at that. 10:27 So you've seen the law enforcement side, 10:29 you've seen the correctional side, 10:30 now you're looking at the salvation side. 10:32 Absolutely. 10:33 It's like justification, sanctification, 10:35 and glorification, almost the three part ministry. 10:37 How different is that? 10:38 'Cause I mean, I haven't... 10:40 I mean, I know people 10:41 that are involved in prison ministries, 10:43 we have a number of people that are connected with 3ABN, 10:45 and we also have one here. 10:46 But to come from the law enforcement side 10:48 to the correctional side and then, 10:50 how did that transition happen? 10:52 You talked about finding a book? 10:53 Yeah, well, I was taking inmates 10:55 to check out a book late at night, 10:58 and they're able to do that. 10:59 And I found Desire of Ages. 11:01 I started reading it. 11:02 The first time I've read the book, 11:04 and just my life was changing every single chapter. 11:08 Wow. Day by day. 11:09 It just transformed my life as I would learn 11:12 more about the life of Jesus, His selfless life. 11:14 I was attracted to that. 11:16 You know, at the time, 11:17 I was a competitive bodybuilder. 11:19 I was eating, living, and sleeping vanity, you know. 11:23 And here's a man that lived a selfless life, 11:28 His every word, 11:29 His every action was for others. 11:31 And that convicted me. 11:32 I mean, that, I was attracted to that. 11:34 I wanted that. 11:35 And, you know, a battle began to take place in my life. 11:37 And by God's grace, you know, 11:39 I surrendered myself to the Lord 11:40 and, you know, the local church had donated 11:45 these books to the prison, 11:46 and there is a local elder 11:49 that would give Bible studies to the prisoners, 11:50 and he discovered that I was reading the books, 11:53 invited me to church and nurtured me 11:55 and that brought me in, and I was baptized. 11:57 That's an amazing story. Yeah. 12:00 Isn't that amazing story, Pastor? 12:02 Fantastic what God does. 12:04 You know, a lot of times, we go and do prison work. 12:07 Matter of fact, when I was younger, 12:08 I loved prison ministry, 12:10 and we still have a very active one 12:11 here in our church. 12:13 But a lot of times, 12:14 you meet those who work in these institutions, 12:16 and you think, "Well, he's just a guard." 12:18 But God got you started there and then moved you through. 12:22 Right. Yeah. 12:24 You learn a lot, you know, 12:25 the motto is fair, firm, and consistent 12:27 when you're working with the inmates. 12:29 And, you know, it kind of carries over 12:31 because when you're out on the field, 12:34 you have to incorporate those principles, 12:36 you know, when you're working with people. 12:37 Wow, it does happen. 12:39 Pastor Harry, that's an amazing principle. 12:42 What about your trek in ministry? 12:44 You know, I started out in healthcare, 12:46 and I never thought that I was going to be a pastor, 12:50 but I did have a passion for leading people to Jesus. 12:54 I wanted to be a health educator, 12:56 Bible worker. 12:58 And God transferred me into pastoring, 13:03 and I've been very thankful 13:05 to be in God's great harvest field. 13:08 Wow. 13:09 And you're still in God's great harvest field. 13:12 Absolutely. Both of you are, you know. 13:15 But your ministry, 13:17 Prophetic Facts, you've been involved, 13:20 as you said with Amazing Facts about 12 years, 13:23 but Prophetic Facts has taken you 13:24 to some unique places around the world, 13:26 and we want to talk about some of those. 13:28 One of those that we mentioned prior to the program, 13:30 we like to get together and talk about it, the Congo. 13:34 I want you kind of walk us, 13:36 you have some pictures with you today. 13:37 Walk us through 13:38 because people listening may hear the Congo. 13:41 I know that's somewhere in Africa, 13:43 but when we think of ministry in a simplistic way 13:46 here sometimes in America but talk about that first? 13:48 Well, little background testimony 13:49 to our experience in Congo is 13:51 I was doing a series of meetings 13:53 in Ardmore, Oklahoma. 13:54 One of the leaders has a ministry 13:57 called Precious Present Truth, and they have... 13:59 Most of their ministry is focused in Africa, Congo, 14:02 Rwanda, Uganda, and Nigeria as well. 14:04 So we were filming the series, 14:07 and she was putting on the makeup for the filming, 14:10 and we were talking about Congo and her ministry. 14:12 And she says, "We need a speaker to go to Congo. 14:14 We're looking for someone 14:16 to do a series of meetings there." 14:17 Well, they were gonna do a series of meetings 14:19 in the local University of Kinshasa 14:21 which is the capital of Congo. 14:23 And she said, 14:25 "But we're gonna do another series in the local prison." 14:28 I said, "What prison?" 14:29 She says, "I don't know yet exactly." 14:31 But she gave me the contact information 14:32 of the local ministers there. 14:34 So I reached out to them, 14:35 and they told me it was the Makala prison. 14:37 I did some research on Makala prison. 14:39 It's the largest prison in Congo. 14:42 Wow. 14:43 And just a little background to Congo, 14:45 it's a war-torn country. 14:46 It's a mineral rich country, they have, 14:49 you know, the blood diamond business in the past, 14:51 they have... 14:52 The richest country in uranium, coltan 14:56 which is a very rare metal that they use 14:59 in the manufacturing of cell phones. 15:00 So you have a very rich, mineral rich country, 15:03 there's a lot of corruption there. 15:05 But the prison, the New York Times 15:08 had an article a year before I arrived 15:11 that they had a prison break there. 15:13 Now this is incredible. 15:15 Eight thousand inmates, 4,200 people broke out, 15:18 80 people got killed, 20 vehicles got burned down. 15:22 So this is the prison they want us to go 15:23 and do meetings. 15:25 But you know, Jesus says that gospel is to go 15:26 to all the world. 15:27 And it's a challenge, of course, 15:29 but still, there's people who need to hear the gospel. 15:31 So I accepted it and... 15:33 Yeah, this picture here, is that outside the prison? 15:35 This is outside the prison, yeah. 15:37 When you think about that kind of... 15:39 And I'm looking at that tower that they have out there, 15:41 and I'm comparing that security tower 15:43 to the ones in the United States, 15:45 that doesn't look that secure. 15:47 No. 15:48 You know, it doesn't look that secure. 15:49 And this is what? 15:51 This is a checkpoint actually. 15:54 There's four different checkpoints 15:55 that we had to go through to get into the prison. 15:57 But this is actual corridor 15:58 that takes you out to a courtyard 16:00 where they have different activities 16:03 for the prisoners 16:04 and then where we set up 16:06 our tents to have our series there. 16:07 So while you're walking through this corridor, 16:09 you're at the mercy of the Lord and the prisoners? 16:11 Absolutely. The Lord is... 16:12 And this is a picture of... 16:14 This is a picture of our group of people 16:16 that came out to hear the messages 16:17 each and every morning. 16:19 So the preaching was in the... 16:20 Well, obviously, 16:21 you don't want to do it at night, not in a prison. 16:23 Right, there's not much... 16:24 I mean, they have electricity in the offices 16:27 but not where the prisoners are. 16:29 So they would actually set up panels, 16:34 solar panels to give power to our speakers 16:38 and to our computer and projector. 16:40 We had a sheet that would hang down from a wall 16:42 that we would project the images 16:44 as they would learn each and everything. 16:45 During the day? Absolutely, yeah. 16:48 Wow, that's a challenge. Yeah. 16:50 So a lot of what you're saying 16:51 has to carry through the conviction 16:53 of your preaching of proclaiming. 16:56 People are examining you every word you say. 16:58 You preach the Word, the Word does the work. 17:00 Wow, that's amazing. Yeah. 17:02 That's a kind of evangelism. 17:04 So what kind of results 17:05 did you get there in the prison? 17:06 Well, we actually had a series of miracles. 17:08 They wouldn't let us into the prison 17:09 when we got there. 17:11 There is a verbal agreement that we would come in, 17:12 but the relationship between Congo and United States 17:16 is a little shaky based upon their inhuman treatment 17:18 of their prisoners. 17:19 So they thought I was a spy, 17:21 so they refused to let me come in. 17:23 So we didn't know... 17:25 The kind of document that's in secret, so to speak. 17:27 You know, we didn't know what we're gonna do 17:29 and I remember... 17:30 I wrote a series of bridge sermons 17:32 for Your Best Pathways to Health with Lela, 17:34 you know, Lela? 17:36 Yeah, Doctor Lela. Lewis. 17:37 And she had mentioned to me prior to me going to Congo 17:40 that she had a friend 17:41 that worked in the government of Congo, the DRC. 17:44 So I called her, she gave me his phone number, 17:48 and I called him, and he answered. 17:50 He's actually the minister 17:51 for social justice in the government. 17:53 So I told him our dilemma, we can't get in. 17:56 So he said, "Just stay tight, I'll be there." 17:59 So it took him about three hours, 18:01 but he arrived and got us into the prison. 18:04 Wow. 18:05 So you know, the devil does not want these 18:07 men and women to hear the gospel. 18:09 It was the very first time that anyone 18:11 from the outside 18:13 would do a series of meetings in that prison. 18:15 Wow. Yeah. 18:16 Well, the mission of Christ is to set at liberty 18:18 those who are bound, set the captive free. 18:21 Absolutely. 18:22 Proclaiming the acceptable year of the Lord. 18:24 And a lot of times when you go into inmates, 18:26 when you sit down before inmates, a lot of times, 18:30 this is what the Lord allowed to happen to them 18:33 to get the gospel proclaimed to them 18:35 because many of them 18:37 wouldn't hear it on the streets. 18:38 No way. 18:39 They wouldn't hear it outside of the prison walls. 18:41 This, for many of them, 18:42 is probably the only opportunity 18:44 that they will ever hear the gospel perhaps. 18:46 But the Lord wanted to send there. 18:47 You know, we started with an incentive, 18:50 we couldn't speak to all the prisoners 18:53 but we would hand our bread for them 18:55 because they have their own gardens, 18:57 they don't have a cafeteria like we do here in the States 18:59 where they can go through a line and get their food. 19:02 They don't have anything to eat. 19:03 So they have to grow their food. 19:05 They have to grow their own food 19:06 in the prison, yeah. 19:09 They're all working in the gardens. 19:11 If they don't work, they don't eat. 19:13 So American prisons are like hotels in comparison. 19:16 Absolutely, yeah. Wow. 19:17 It's amazing. 19:18 I'm looking at your background now, police, prisons, 19:21 and then you go to set the captive free. 19:24 Yeah, liberation. 19:26 Isn't that amazing? 19:27 Liberation, I don't want to call it liberation theology 19:29 but they are being set at liberty. 19:31 And what kind of team 19:33 did you have that went with you? 19:35 You and who else? 19:36 We had a team of local pastors 19:39 and elders of the local churches 19:41 that would go in with us to help. 19:42 We also had a guy that work for the government 19:44 that would be our protection, 19:46 if you will, that would let us in and out. 19:48 Yeah, you had a picture of an escort group, 19:50 kind of your security detail. 19:51 I like to bring that up because it was amazing. 19:54 It was not a safe place to be all the time 19:56 but you had a group of people committed to your safety. 19:59 And I call that your escort group, 20:01 maybe they could bring that picture up 20:03 to show this group of guys that helped you get in 20:07 or kind of kept you secure when you were there. 20:09 They're great group of guys, very faithful, hard working. 20:12 Yeah, there they are right there. 20:13 Yeah, the escorts. The escorts. 20:15 That's good, people committed. 20:17 Now were they workers there, 20:19 or where they part of the pastoral team 20:21 outside of the ministry. 20:23 Well, the guy on my right with the red shirt 20:24 and the striped ties, Meshak, he's actually a prisoner. 20:28 He's my translator. 20:29 Yeah. So he's in there? 20:31 He is in there, he's been there for 17 years. 20:34 Yeah. 20:35 But he's dressed like a pastor. 20:37 You know what's interesting about this prison 20:38 is they wouldn't let me bring my phone in 20:41 or any type of equipment. 20:43 They gave us a hard time. 20:44 I couldn't bring any camera in. 20:46 But once you get into the prison, 20:47 the prisoners have cell phones, 20:49 so they're taking these pictures for us. 20:51 So these are the pictures you got from the inmates. 20:54 That's right. Wow, wow, wow. 20:56 What do you think about that, Pastor Harry? 20:58 Have you had a chance to go to the Congo? 21:00 I've not been into Congo, I've been in 28 other countries 21:03 but that's not one that I've been in. 21:05 So you have seen evangelism 21:07 outside of the walls of the United States also? 21:09 You know, I've had the privilege of assisting 21:11 with evangelism in Kiev area 21:16 in Simferopol and also in the Philippines, 21:21 and in some other places overseas. 21:23 How about that! 21:24 So by the time we're gonna get to you, 21:26 your story in just a moment how the Lord linked you up to, 21:29 but not only were you in the Congo, 21:32 but as Pastor Harry just mentioned, 21:36 Pastor Sharley just mentioned, 21:38 you also had a chance to go to the Philippines. 21:40 I did. 21:41 Yeah, I partnered with It Is Written this past summer. 21:44 Is that John Bradshaw? 21:46 It is, yeah, John. 21:47 So I think I saw when he was preaching out... 21:49 You were with that team then? That's right. 21:52 We had a team of 47 people from around the world 21:56 that would come and contribute. 21:58 We had 57 sites around Manila, Philippines. 22:04 So when you guys arrive, that was the reaping? 22:06 It was, yeah. Okay. 22:07 It's a large crowd too, 22:09 I think you have a picture showing that, 22:10 that large auditorium. 22:12 Yeah, astrodome, yeah, 22:13 where John Bradshaw was preaching. 22:14 Let's look at that one there. There it is. 22:17 You know, that's the... 22:18 That's at the University of Kinshasa in Congo. 22:21 That's the Congo. 22:22 Speaking of that, you did some meetings, 22:24 now let's just go with that. 22:25 You did some meetings not only during the day... 22:28 But also in the evening. Okay. 22:29 So that's a picture of the evening? 22:31 At the university. 22:32 So that's the university meetings in the Congo. 22:34 Yeah. 22:35 We ended up with 536 baptisms, God blessed us with that. 22:37 We have a really good series and meetings. 22:39 Amen. Praise God. Praise the Lord for that. 22:40 So you were busy day and night preaching twice a day? 22:44 You know, I would speak 22:46 at 9 o'clock in the morning at the prison. 22:48 Okay. 22:49 But I would have to get there two hours, 22:51 prepare two hours before 22:53 'cause the traffic was horrible, 22:54 12 million people in Kinshasa. 22:56 Wow. 22:57 Yeah, it's a very largest city in Africa. 22:59 Yeah. 23:00 I mean, the traffic is so bad. 23:02 I mean, it's... 23:04 Anything goes. 23:05 There's no right, left side of the road. 23:07 It's just... 23:08 There's people, there's motorcycles, 23:09 there's cars, yeah. 23:11 Speed limits? 23:12 No speed limits, you can even... 23:13 I mean, it's packed with so many people, 23:15 you can't even hardly move. 23:17 It's kind of like oxymoron, organized chaos. 23:20 But here you are. Yeah. 23:22 And the results, 23:23 the devil didn't want you to get into the prison. 23:26 Right. 23:27 You pretty much had more reasons 23:29 not to do it than reasons to do it. 23:31 But then, when you think about the souls... 23:34 Jesus is coming soon. That's right. 23:35 I mean, these people have to hear the gospel, 23:37 and there's such a need. 23:39 You know, whenever you go overseas, 23:40 it's such a blessing and privilege 23:42 and honor to be able to share with people, 23:43 different cultures. 23:45 But you know, after time you're ready to come back, 23:47 right, come back home, no place like home. 23:49 But in Congo, the need is so great. 23:52 I just didn't have that feeling, 23:54 I just wanted to stay 23:55 and then minister to the people. 23:57 I mean, the need was so great that people, 23:59 they eat it up, they love to hear the gospel, 24:01 and lives are changing, 24:03 and it was just a privilege to be there. 24:05 Now in the evening meetings, 24:06 you had an opportunity 24:07 to have more of your conveniences 24:09 like your screens, everything else that you have. 24:13 And how long were these meetings in there? 24:15 Two weeks. 24:16 Yeah, every night for two weeks. 24:17 Wow. That's wonderful. Yeah. 24:19 That's good. 24:20 And so this passion for evangelism. 24:23 And I say passion, 24:24 you know, if you're listening to the program, 24:25 what God calls you to do, if it's not a passion, 24:28 it's an occupation. 24:29 But for you, 24:31 it's more than an occupation, it's a passion. 24:32 Absolutely. 24:33 When you think about that, Pastor, is that correct? 24:35 Absolutely. 24:36 If you're not passionate about what you're doing, 24:39 it's just an occupation. 24:40 But you're looking forward to the greater, 24:42 you know, to the greater reward, 24:44 which is, "Well done, thou, good and faithful servant." 24:46 That's right, yeah. 24:48 And anything you want to input on that, Pastor Harry? 24:51 You know, I counted a privilege to be able to be paid 24:55 to do what I love to do. 24:57 We are blessed to be a part of a church that does that. 25:01 And I've often said to people, we don't... 25:04 What's the phrase here? 25:05 We are not in this for the salary. 25:07 That's one, if you're an Adventist pastor, 25:09 you're not in this for the salary. 25:11 I can't say that, 25:12 that's not the case for other pastor of other denominations. 25:14 But we are definitely not here for the money. 25:16 Laying up your treasure in heaven. 25:18 No Adventist pastors can get rich doing it. 25:20 Exactly. 25:21 But the word Adventist, 25:22 we are looking forward to that great Advent. 25:25 That's right, as you just alluded to there. 25:27 But now let's get back to the Philippines. 25:28 Sure. 25:30 When you went with Pastor John Bradshaw, 25:31 that was a reaping meeting, and the crowd was large crowd 25:36 that you gathered there in the... 25:38 What did you call it again? Astrodome. 25:40 In the astrodome. In Manila. 25:42 Okay. Yeah. 25:43 And we have a picture, I think, 25:44 that shows us that astrodome there. 25:46 Wow. 25:47 This is group of people 25:49 where John Bradshaw made an appeal for baptism, 25:50 they came up to the front. 25:52 These are the respondents? That's right. 25:53 Oh, okay. 25:55 These are the people that responded. 25:57 I tell you, and how many sites did you have again? 25:59 Fifty seven sites. Fifty seven sites. 26:02 They called them barangay. 26:03 So they had several churches around Manila, 26:06 but they would all branch out, 26:07 use their members to go to back alleys, 26:10 basketball courts, 26:12 anywhere they could set up a series of meetings. 26:15 And so people can come out and not have to travel. 26:19 This place here in Manila, this is during the rainy season. 26:22 So we had a big challenge. 26:24 It was flooding, parts of Manila were shut down 26:27 because of it. 26:28 But one thing about the people in the Philippines 26:29 is that they were so excited. 26:31 You didn't hear one person complain. 26:33 You know, when we had to shut down 26:34 a site because of the flooding, 26:35 they were ready for the next night, 26:37 and they would come out 26:38 and just respond in a powerful way. 26:41 Amen. Yeah. 26:43 When you go through it, as we bring up the pictures, 26:46 we'll have you comment on them again. 26:49 You know, the amazing things about... 26:51 One of the amazing things about being in a place 26:53 where people are passionate about the gospel, 26:56 we always pray for that to happen in America, 26:58 you know, one of the roadblocks here, 27:00 we get results outside of America 27:01 but it's difficult 27:03 because there's such distractions. 27:05 What are some of the distractions 27:06 that you experience in places like the Philippines? 27:09 What would you say was a distraction if any? 27:14 For the people? 27:15 Yeah, just to evangelism 27:18 because there's a distraction in each culture but... 27:21 Because there's so much poverty, 27:23 everyone is hustling to survive. 27:25 Okay. 27:27 And that can be a challenge in that it's competition, 27:31 you want to get them to the meetings, you know. 27:33 And there's a great need there. 27:36 And so I would say that that would be... 27:39 That was probably one of our greatest challenges 27:41 because they have to work, you know. 27:43 Trying to make those ends meet. 27:44 Absolutely, yeah. That's true. 27:46 That makes... 27:47 Well, while you were there, 27:49 you had the privilege of meeting... 27:52 There was a person that you met that... 27:55 I don't want to steal your thunder, 27:57 talk about one of the most unique people you met 27:58 when you were in the Philippines? 28:00 Francisca Susano, 28:03 she is the oldest living person in the world today. 28:05 She's Seventh-day Adventist. 28:06 She's 121 years old. 28:08 Hundred and twenty one. Hundred and twenty one. 28:11 And what does she have in her hand here? 28:13 That's her to the right. 28:14 I have her birth certificate, and she's holding a certificate 28:20 from the Philippines on her age. 28:22 Basically, acknowledging that she's lived so long. 28:28 Do you realize what happened in the last 121 years? 28:32 I mean, there has been the technological explosion. 28:35 We went through... 28:37 Wow. 28:38 Well, give me chance to think about it. 28:40 So much has happened in 121 years. 28:42 The invention of flight. 28:44 Right. Exactly. 28:45 And everything else since. 28:47 World War I, World War II, 28:48 we're talking about American history. 28:50 Korean war, Vietnam war, I mean, 28:53 we had countries we bombed that are now our allies, 28:58 the depression in America. 29:00 Man! 29:02 The industrial revolution, just so much that happened. 29:05 And now in the last 20 something years, 29:08 the digital explosion, maybe even... 29:11 I say last 25, 30 years. 29:14 And can you imagine to come from a generation 29:16 where there are no televisions... 29:19 I don't know if there were any radios 29:20 in the year she was born, 1897. 29:24 I don't know. How did you communicate? 29:27 Hello, neighbor! 29:29 So what was it like to meet this lady? 29:31 That was a blessing. 29:33 Yeah, I was honored to meet her. 29:34 You know, she said three things 29:35 that contributed to her longevity. 29:37 Number one, always stay positive, 29:39 always trust in the Lord. 29:40 Number two, she ate a lot of vegetables. 29:43 Oh, there she is. Yeah. 29:44 She said she loved greens. 29:47 And number three, she says she never ate past 6 o'clock. 29:49 She'd never eat late meals. 29:50 Really? 29:52 That's what she said when I asked her, you know. 29:53 Past 6 o'clock. 29:55 So are we on target for 121? 29:58 Wow, that's amazing. The Lord blessed her. 30:00 And CNN, I understand, talked about this lady. 30:04 They did, they came out to interview her 30:06 to talk to her. 30:07 Yeah, about her age. 30:09 So she's beyond a centenarian, 30:10 and that what they call somebody 30:11 that's at that age. 30:14 And then you had baptisms in... 30:19 You talked about the baptisms you had in the Congo, 30:20 but talk about... 30:21 The baptisms in the Philippines, we did. 30:24 We baptized 3,147 souls, 30:28 yeah, as a result of all of our efforts there. 30:32 And that was one of the... 30:34 That's one of the baptismal sites there. 30:36 Three thousand, one hundred and forty seven, 30:39 sounds like the day of Pentecost 30:41 in the Book of Acts. 30:42 And the Lord added to the church. 30:44 It was exciting to see for sure, yeah. 30:46 And how many pastors... 30:47 I mean, to do that kind of baptism, 30:50 you had the local pastors helping. 30:52 They're very organized, yeah. 30:53 From the moment we got there, they were very organized. 30:55 And what they do is they organize their members, 30:58 total member involvement to, 31:01 you know, to be spiritual friends 31:02 for those that are being baptized. 31:04 And not just there to encourage them 31:06 but they bring them in like family. 31:08 But the pastors at local different churches 31:10 were ready for the baptisms. 31:12 They had it all organized for that. 31:14 Wow. Yeah. 31:16 And that lasted... 31:19 That was a reaping meeting, so you were there for how long? 31:21 Two weeks. Two weeks also. 31:23 I actually had a chance to peek in on those meetings 31:26 when John Bradshaw, 31:28 I think he was preaching in a barangay, 31:29 I just saw him with white top. 31:32 And I was saying, "I wonder who that is." 31:34 But then I listen to, you know, that accent, 31:38 that's John Bradshaw. 31:40 My wife and I watched it on, I think, it was on YouTube, 31:42 there was a streaming coming through. 31:44 That was an amazing thing in evangelisms still today. 31:46 In America, it's a challenge in some places but... 31:50 because back in the day, 31:53 I could use that term with Pastor Sharley there. 31:55 Back in the day, evangelism used to last for six weeks. 31:59 And then we go a little further back than that... 32:02 Six months. Six months, yeah. 32:04 But that was before my time. 32:07 You opted out of that one. 32:08 But you know, people like C.D. Brooks 32:11 and many of our pioneer evangelists, 32:13 E. E. Cleveland, Harry Feierabend, 32:19 all these guys, when they go to town, 32:20 they're gonna be there four to six months. 32:22 I mean, that's serious commitment. 32:24 Nowadays, we have to take evangelism 32:27 into different direction. 32:28 Talk about some of your methods of evangelism? 32:30 Well, typically, my series are four weeks. 32:32 We do five nights a week for four weeks. 32:34 We have 24 presentations. 32:36 I feel like it gives us enough time to get, 32:38 you know, the full gospel message to the people 32:40 that are coming. 32:42 You had to make intelligent decisions, yeah. 32:44 And that is good too. 32:46 But then you had a chance... 32:47 Now, I'm gonna bring Pastor Sharley anyhow. 32:49 You had an opportunity not to do evangelism 32:51 not only in the Congo and the Philippines 32:53 but a number of other places here too... 32:56 We talked about some of the miracle stories. 33:00 Did you talk about Meshak? 33:03 Oh, yeah, the Congo translator, he also was an inmate. 33:07 But let me go to Pastor Sharley now because in Yak... 33:13 Good things are not only happening overseas, correct? 33:16 Absolutely. 33:17 Right here in the USA and around the world, 33:21 the Holy Spirit is working. That's right. 33:24 So let's talk about how did you plan 33:26 to get Pastor Morgan 33:28 to your church to do evangelism? 33:30 Well, we tried about three times, 33:32 didn't we, Pastor Jason, 33:34 to have you come to Yakima and something seem to interrupt 33:37 the schedule each time, 33:38 and so we delayed it another year 33:40 and then another year. 33:42 And then finally, we started in September, 33:45 and we had a tremendous response from our community. 33:50 We're in a city of about 94,000 people 33:55 and we tried to invite everyone 33:58 by mailing a personal invitation to each home. 34:02 And mailed out over 40,000 invitations, 34:07 and we had, on the opening weekend over 110 guests 34:14 besides those who are attending and supporting 34:17 from our local churches. 34:18 Okay. 34:20 And was that a four-week series also? 34:23 It was, yeah. Okay. 34:24 You know, they say it's never a good time to hold a series 34:26 because the devil is gonna repeat with every single time. 34:29 But this, even though we were trying to schedule 34:31 the right time, it was the right time 34:33 when we find no better time for the series 34:35 because the people that came for the community 34:36 which is so ripe, really excited, 34:39 and they stayed with us through the four-week series. 34:41 You know, the beautiful thing about evangelism is 34:43 you might come to be, you never know, 34:45 there are three methods to evangelism. 34:47 What are they? 34:48 Planting, watering, and... 34:50 Harvesting. And harvesting. 34:52 And you might be, your series for some, might be a planting, 34:55 for others, harvesting, for others, watering. 34:59 You never know, in that audience, 35:01 there are at least those three categories 35:05 are represented by everybody sitting there. 35:07 It's a process. It's a cycle, for sure. 35:10 Now, the reason I mentioned that 35:11 is because a lot of times, you know, we're so excited 35:13 about the harvesting that comes. 35:16 We never go to an evangelistic series and say, 35:18 "You know, I'm not looking forward to baptizing anybody." 35:21 I mean, that's the most... 35:23 Was the pessimistic evangelist outreach. 35:26 But we know that God has a timing to evangelism. 35:29 So I'm glad you say that because Pastor Sharley said, 35:32 "We tried many times to get you there." 35:34 But then the Lord knows when the time is right. 35:37 Absolutely. That's right. 35:38 And we are praying all along the way 35:40 that God would lead. 35:41 And you know, when you talk about an evangelistic cycle, 35:46 that's really important. 35:47 It isn't just a reaping series that's evangelism. 35:51 It's how we live our lives. 35:52 It's how we share Jesus in the workplace. 35:55 And in Yakima where I live, 35:57 I live surrounded on three sides by orchards, 36:01 apple orchards, pear orchards, 36:03 apricot orchards, 36:04 and that's the main backbone of the economy 36:07 in the Yakima Valley is fruit, Washington apples. 36:11 Most loads come from Yakima County. 36:14 And we see them planting new orchards. 36:18 We see them weeding them, and pruning them, 36:22 and nurturing them. 36:24 And then we see them harvesting the fruit. 36:26 And that's what God wants us 36:28 to do in our outreach for Jesus. 36:30 That's right. And that happens all year long. 36:32 All year long. That's right. 36:33 It's a round... 36:35 There's always something going on in the orchards. 36:37 And sometimes, an evangelist like Pastor Jason 36:40 will come to town and somebody will say, 36:42 "We've been waiting for 15 years for that guy 36:45 to join the church and finally happened." 36:47 You know, what kind of exciting stories 36:50 did you have out of the series you did in Yakima? 36:53 We have several. 36:54 We had a family that was coming out each night, Suzanne, 36:58 and she brought her children with her. 37:00 She's married to a judge in Yakima, the highest court, 37:04 District Court in Yakima, coming each night. 37:08 She was having some trials in her life. 37:11 And a handbill came at the right time, 37:13 the invitation came, and so to see her grow 37:16 each and every night, 37:17 just excited that Jesus was coming soon, 37:19 how the prophecies are valid, how she can trust the Bible. 37:22 And her son, her teenage son, 37:26 a very bright young man, 37:28 in high school, he came every night 37:32 so fascinated by the fact that history was verifying 37:37 what the Bible was predicting and what the Bible had stated 37:41 about the lives of those in the Bible. 37:43 To see someone that's 14 years old, he's 14, 37:46 have such an interest in Bible prophecy 37:49 and testing everything that's being said 37:53 from the Bible was amazing, you know. 37:55 I like that because the way you balance that together, 38:00 how does it... 38:02 History is prophecy revealed 38:06 and prophecy is history concealed. 38:09 So prophecy conceals and prognosticates history. 38:14 History affirms and reveals prophecy. 38:18 So you have that two working together 38:21 as we say about the Old Testament, 38:22 you know, the whole same, the Old Testament. 38:24 New Testament concealed... 38:25 New Testament is Old Testament revealed. 38:27 So you have that same cycle in evangelism. 38:29 Yeah. 38:31 And it's exciting to see somebody... 38:33 I mean, you're young man, don't disagree with me. 38:38 And God has always keeping every generation, 38:41 evangelism has to continue to go and grow. 38:43 That's right. 38:44 And your evangelism, talking about Yakima, 38:47 do we have some pictures that show 38:49 maybe some of the people 38:50 that attended your meeting there 38:51 and how things turned out in Yakima? 38:54 There's a particular family that you have a story about 38:56 and maybe as we bring their picture up, 38:58 tell us about this family here? 39:00 Yeah, this is the family 39:02 that Pastor Jason just mentioned. 39:04 And it was a beautiful thing 39:05 to see this family baptized together, 39:09 and this is myself and our associate pastor, 39:12 Pastor Austin. 39:13 Okay, Pastor Austin, to my right there. 39:16 Okay. 39:17 What was unique about this baptism, 39:20 them just making the decision as a family together? 39:23 Well, and like Pastor Jason said, 39:25 it was the right timing. 39:26 There are some challenges there, 39:28 and it was just at the time when this family needed 39:33 what God was offering as far as peace of mind. 39:39 And their children had previously attended our school. 39:45 And someone had invited them to these meetings. 39:50 But what really caught her attention 39:54 was the color flyer invitation that came in the mail. 39:58 And so God works all these things together. 40:00 And they came. Wow. 40:03 A lot of times people don't see the timing of a series 40:08 in terms of how people respond to the invitation. 40:11 I mean, there's a lot of people 40:12 that are in the middle of a crisis in their life. 40:15 And they've been praying for God to liberate them, 40:17 to show them the right way to go. 40:19 And they get the invitation, and they come. 40:21 And just to see them break down in tears that, 40:26 you know, looking for something that will give them relief, 40:29 looking for something 40:31 that will be the answer to that dilemma, 40:32 and they find it in a three angels' message. 40:34 They find it in the soon coming of Jesus Christ. 40:37 This is what people need to see. 40:38 They need to see how the gospel impacts people, 40:41 you know, in their lives. 40:42 And meetings are like, 40:44 we call them like the pressure cooker. 40:46 You know, it prepares people, it ripens them, 40:48 you know, for the harvest. 40:50 And that's what's up. 40:51 So now when you look at evangelism... 40:53 I think there's also a baptismal group. 40:55 You had a wonderful harvest there in Yakima. 40:57 We did. 40:58 We had 25 baptisms about month 41:00 after we started our meetings, and people were so happy. 41:05 So there were so many smiles 41:07 and tears of joy on that baptismal day. 41:11 You know, the word baptism is an amazing word. 41:14 It's been used century after century, 41:17 after century, after century, after century. 41:19 But it is that public expression 41:22 of that private inward commitment to Christ. 41:24 Yes. 41:26 And so when people say baptism, 41:28 how does that thrill your soul when you see a person 41:31 going down in the watery grave? 41:32 We know the Bible says Jesus saves, 41:34 but the Bible also says baptism does save, 1 Peter Chapter 3. 41:38 It brings power, you know, in Pentecost, Acts Chapter 2. 41:41 What do we do with these things that we've heard? 41:44 Peter said, "Repent and be baptized." 41:46 So when you take the initiative and you do what God requires, 41:49 showing in a public way, "I'm giving my life to Him." 41:52 He meets us where we are but doesn't leave us there. 41:55 He's not just our Savior, He's the Lord of our life. 41:57 And so we're following Him. 41:59 You go down to the water, 42:00 it does something in your heart. 42:02 It does. It changes. 42:04 It's the washing away or burying the past 42:08 is the phrase we like to use. 42:10 But you mentioned something about a cycle of evangelism, 42:13 and I think both of you alluded to that a little bit at a time. 42:16 You mentioned that about the apples, 42:18 the orchard that you saw around your house. 42:19 It's amazing how God gave you that daily example. 42:22 You can see all they planted, all just leave it alone. 42:25 No. 42:26 You got to what... 42:28 What are some of the things that prevents the harvest? 42:29 Let's talk about that. 42:30 You know, I've heard people say, you know, 42:33 "Evangelism doesn't work anymore." 42:35 Well, if a farmer didn't do the work during the year, 42:41 there wouldn't be a harvest either. 42:43 So God has a plan, and it's like farming. 42:47 It's caring for, caring for people, caring, 42:50 loving people, meeting their needs. 42:53 And so we try to have a very active cycle of outreach 42:57 through our congregation. 42:59 We have a congregation with about 43:00 an average attendance of about 200. 43:02 So it's not a huge congregation, 43:03 but it's a medium sized church 43:05 and very active core of volunteers in that church. 43:11 And so we do three major health and spirituality seminars 43:16 during the year, 27 Tuesday nights of the year. 43:23 Physicians and other health professionals 43:25 donate their time to speak along with the pastors, 43:30 and we get to know people. 43:31 We even deliver pears 43:35 from one of our member's orchards 43:38 to those who have graduated from our seminar 43:41 and get to meet them in their home 43:43 and be on a friendly basis with them. 43:45 Right. 43:47 And then we do other outreach. 43:49 We do children's outreach. 43:51 We have a monthly children's church, 43:52 Vacation Bible School on alternate years, 43:55 our church school. 43:57 And then we do Easter time program 44:02 called Living Last Supper, 44:04 a drama that has attracted a number of people 44:08 over the number of years to our church. 44:11 At the end of each year 44:15 for the last 10 years, 44:19 we've done Journey to Bethlehem which is a walking through, 44:23 an outdoor living town of Bethlehem. 44:26 Last year, we had 5,000 people walk through our church 44:29 and through the town of Bethlehem 44:32 and see 30 live animals, 44:34 150 costumed actors and even a live camel. 44:37 His name is Izzy. Now where does that come from? 44:40 Where's that whole walk through Bethlehem come from? 44:42 Did they put that up as a structure? 44:45 We build the town every year, 44:48 and then we store it for the next year. 44:50 And then we build it again the next year. 44:52 So it's your church's project. It is. 44:53 Our local church's project. 44:55 We have almost all of our able bodied members of our church 44:59 participating in some way. 45:00 And at the end of that Journey through Bethlehem 45:04 takes about a 20 minute walk, 45:07 there they come to the little ignored manger 45:12 and they see there in the quiet 45:15 where the Son of God came down to this earth to be our Savior. 45:20 Wow, look at that. Had you seen that? 45:23 I've never seen it, never been through. 45:24 No, there's something you missed in Yakima. 45:26 Well, I'm looking forward to going. 45:27 Maybe incorporate that in evangelism. 45:29 But evangelism in itself is a challenge all the time, 45:32 because what happens is, 45:33 I know having been involved in evangelism, 45:36 you know, Pastor Doug and I, 45:38 that's how my ministry began, 45:39 He and I in evangelism together. 45:41 So being out on the road and being a family man, 45:44 it can be a challenge sometimes. 45:47 What are some of the needs you have 45:49 that could even lighten that challenge 45:51 to be a help to your ministry? 45:53 Well, we do a lot of traveling. 45:54 I do anywhere from five to seven 45:56 full evangelistic meetings in a year. 46:01 And, you know, looking to get a motorhome, 46:03 a motorhome would really help get us place to place 46:06 and set up and utilize our time better for these meetings. 46:10 And that will help you have all, 46:12 because to travel and to fly, and I know as an evangelist, 46:15 you have certain... 46:17 It's tough. 46:18 Standard equipment you have to carry with you, 46:19 your materials, all that stuff that you carry. 46:21 We have to ship all that out, 46:22 and quite a few times in a year. 46:24 Yeah, if we had a motorhome, 46:25 that would really lighten that burden. 46:26 And you know, we wear the same suit 46:28 24 nights in a row. 46:29 That's right. 46:31 I'm being realistic about evangelism 46:34 because it really is. 46:35 You don't know how much you need 46:36 until you're out there on the road, 46:38 and you got there by plane, you think, 46:39 "Okay, well, you know, 46:41 the suit needs to be clean again." 46:42 And so you have in some of those challenges now, 46:44 but it will also lighten the burden for you 46:46 and your family. 46:47 That's right. Okay. 46:48 And so there may be somebody watching this program 46:50 that might say, "Hey, Prophetic Facts, 46:53 I would like to participate in supporting Prophetic Facts." 46:56 And you may... 46:58 And we'll give you an address at the end of this program, 47:00 where you can find out more about 47:03 Pastor Jason Morgan's ministry, Prophetic Facts, 47:06 which is a new and growing ministry. 47:08 But every evangelist will do 47:12 what God has called him to do. 47:14 But the Bible says that the man of God 47:16 may be thoroughly equipped. 47:18 And so we're talking about ways that you can participate 47:20 in thoroughly equipping him 47:22 so that it could be a lighter burden 47:23 on your family, your wife, your two children. 47:26 When I first got involved in evangelism, 47:28 just to show you how important this is, Pastor Doug and I, 47:31 those were the days when evangelism was six weeks. 47:33 My wife and I just returned home 47:36 from Heritage Singers. 47:38 We just, a year later, 47:39 came to Northern California Conference, 47:41 got involved in evangelism. 47:44 And she's in Vallejo, California. 47:47 And I'm somewhere way up north, 47:48 like in Redding, California with six weeks evangelism. 47:55 And love is wonderful, 47:57 but six weeks without your family is a long time. 48:00 But to have a motorhome would make a difference. 48:02 And so motorhome over a fifth wheel 48:06 or is it either or? 48:08 That could be either or. Yeah. 48:09 Usually the motorhomes are larger. 48:11 Yeah. Yeah. 48:12 But now they're making the fifth wheels 48:14 where they're accommodating for a family. 48:16 Yeah, so either way. 48:17 And so there might be some people 48:19 'cause we have had people, various intervals of time, 48:22 donate a motorhome to the ministry here at 3ABN 48:25 and it makes it available to somebody else in ministry. 48:28 And by the way, 48:29 if you've been a part of the 3ABN family, 48:32 you know that everything that happens here 48:34 at this ministry is all about a miracle. 48:36 And God is in the miracle... 48:39 What we call a miracle is what God does every day. 48:41 That's right. Amen. 48:43 Pastor Sharley, 48:45 before we transition to our news break, 48:48 anything else you want to share with us about your church 48:50 and about the needs that you might have 48:52 in the future for evangelism? 48:54 You know, we have a generous church, 48:57 and we have been blessed 49:00 by our local regional conference 49:03 that helps us fund evangelism. 49:06 And so we're thankful for that. 49:08 And we try to take 49:09 full advantage of the resources available. 49:12 So we try to have a public reaping effort, 49:16 a series of teachings of the Bible 49:19 and prophecy every year. 49:21 And usually, it's been every other year 49:24 that we have a professional evangelist come in. 49:26 And then the alternate years, the pastoral staff 49:30 and even lay members do the speaking. 49:34 Okay, so you go through a cycle? 49:38 A cycle, that's good too. 49:40 And that's a blessing. 49:41 And the churches that we know of 49:43 and the churches that are in not only our conference, 49:46 but around the world, 49:48 evangelism is the lifeblood of the church 49:50 to keep the church breathing. 49:51 That's true. 49:53 Without evangelism, the heart is slowing down. 49:55 Yeah. Now, you mentioned motorhome. 49:56 But I know that there are other needs 49:58 and we're not going to... 49:59 If there's something specific, you can mention that now, 50:02 but if there's not, I could just give the viewers 50:05 and listeners an address where they can... 50:06 Well, what we're trying to do is create training centers. 50:10 Okay. 50:11 We'll start here but around the world as well. 50:13 Yes. We want to provide... 50:16 You know, they say evangelism is a dying breed 50:18 where there's people are looking 50:19 for public evangelists to come into a series in their church. 50:22 We'd like to create a mentorship program 50:24 for local pastors 50:26 that are little intimidated by doing their own meetings 50:29 or maybe don't have the tools to get started 50:32 where we can train them to do their own meetings 50:34 and be successful at it as well. 50:36 Okay. Yeah. 50:37 So training center? Training centers, right. 50:38 Okay. Wonderful. 50:40 And with all that space out there in Montana? 50:44 Absolutely. Yeah. 50:45 There will be enough space to build the training center. 50:49 Well, we want to take it also to different conferences. 50:51 I know, I'm being lighthearted about that. 50:53 Of course, you could build 50:54 a 97, 000-square foot building out in Montana. 50:56 It's just a dot. But it's wonderful. 50:59 I had not been... 51:00 I'm very frank about it, I've driven past Montana. 51:04 I haven't had any reason to go out there. 51:06 Maybe I'll get a chance to visit there in the summer. 51:09 Yeah, we'd love to have you. 51:10 Because I'm sure they have their level of snow 51:12 during the winter time. 51:13 But thank you for, you know, evangelism. 51:15 We're going to take a news break 51:17 in just a moment here. 51:18 But I want to recap. 51:19 Pastor Morgan, you like to be called Jason, 51:22 and Pastor Sharley from the Yakima 51:24 Central Seventh-day Adventist Church, 51:25 the senior pastor has been talking about evangelism. 51:29 As we take this news break, we're going to, 51:31 first before we go to the news break, 51:32 give you the address information 51:34 that you need to be supportive of Prophetic Facts, 51:37 Speaker and Director, 51:39 a brand new ministry with wonderful needs 51:41 and a vision for the future 51:43 and reaping souls for the kingdom 51:45 that we believe is soon to come. 51:46 Here is the address that you need. 51:49 If you would like to find out more 51:51 about the Prophetic Facts Ministry, 51:53 you may reach them in a variety of ways. 51:56 Visit their website propheticfacts.com. 51:59 To find their prophecy seminar schedule, 52:02 contact information and more. 52:05 That's propheticfacts.com. 52:08 You may also call them at 52:10 406-402-9030. 52:15 If you would like to write to them, 52:17 please address your letter to Prophetic Facts, 52:20 PO Box 10141, 52:24 Kalispell, Montana 59904. |
