Boy, these are
some exciting changes
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
that are happening...
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.07
Well, actually happened
four, five years ago nearly.
00:00:04.10\00:00:06.84
So tell us some of...
00:00:06.87\00:00:09.67
You got just a minute,
give us a closing thought?
00:00:09.70\00:00:12.44
Well, it's so
exciting to see the way
00:00:12.47\00:00:14.18
the Lord has opened
such great opportunities.
00:00:14.21\00:00:16.61
And even though
in the eyes of some
00:00:16.64\00:00:18.51
we were making sacrifices,
00:00:18.55\00:00:20.75
actually it was
redirecting ourselves
00:00:20.82\00:00:24.29
to a path that God
wanted us to be walking in.
00:00:24.32\00:00:27.96
And we see the
evidence of his blessing
00:00:27.99\00:00:29.89
as we see our
graduates, our students working,
00:00:29.92\00:00:33.19
and our staff members in
many of the local churches.
00:00:33.23\00:00:36.33
Last year we were able
to host an Amen free clinic.
00:00:36.36\00:00:39.33
We partnered with
the local churches,
00:00:39.37\00:00:41.47
we even partnered with
the non-Adventist entities
00:00:41.50\00:00:44.34
like the University of Virginia,
00:00:44.37\00:00:46.11
and Germanna Community College
00:00:46.14\00:00:47.84
to serve the
community the way Christ did,
00:00:47.88\00:00:50.35
you know, using Christ method.
00:00:50.38\00:00:52.31
We work with the local
churches in such a great way.
00:00:52.35\00:00:55.22
One of the local
churches is A Living Hope,
00:00:55.25\00:00:57.52
where Elder Finley has
a school of evangelism.
00:00:57.59\00:01:00.46
Our students work there,
00:01:00.49\00:01:01.82
I'm an elder of that church
00:01:01.86\00:01:03.19
and it's such a privilege
00:01:03.22\00:01:04.56
to work with Elder
Finley as a mentor.
00:01:04.59\00:01:07.10
And we take our staff
to his school of evangelism
00:01:07.13\00:01:09.93
to be mentored,
00:01:09.96\00:01:11.30
and how to be more
effective in winning souls
00:01:11.33\00:01:13.67
and doing it in
the Spirit of Christ.
00:01:13.74\00:01:15.27
So these are some of
the amazing opportunities.
00:01:15.30\00:01:17.71
Just recently,
00:01:17.74\00:01:19.07
my wife was the
health outreach coordinator
00:01:19.11\00:01:20.78
for Hartland,
was invited by MENA,
00:01:20.81\00:01:23.14
the Middle East and
North African Union too.
00:01:23.18\00:01:25.58
She's going to be
there in September,
00:01:25.61\00:01:27.52
training their Bible workers
00:01:27.55\00:01:28.98
and health
outreach with Muslims.
00:01:29.02\00:01:30.79
So these are opportunities
that would not have opened
00:01:30.82\00:01:33.19
if we had continued working
as an independent ministry.
00:01:33.22\00:01:36.59
It's a blessing to be
a supportive ministry.
00:01:36.62\00:01:38.93
Amen. Amen, glory to God.
00:01:38.96\00:01:42.63
Norbert, I want to
say Norbert Restrepo.
00:01:42.66\00:01:44.80
Norbert, thank you
for being here today,
00:01:44.83\00:01:46.57
Dr. Dave, it was wonderful...
My pleasure and honor.
00:01:46.60\00:01:49.00
To have you and,
Rothy, God bless you, son.
00:01:49.04\00:01:52.64
I mean this is wonderful
00:01:52.67\00:01:54.58
what the Lord is
doing in your life.
00:01:54.61\00:01:56.21
And, honey, it was
fun to be with you.
00:01:56.24\00:01:57.88
Our payer is that
God will bless you,
00:01:57.91\00:02:00.72
and give you a new
beginning perfectly.
00:02:00.75\00:02:03.28
God bless you.
00:02:03.32\00:02:04.65
