Hello, and welcome to
another 3ABN Today program.
00:01:08.60\00:01:11.70
I'm Jason Bradley and
I'm excited about the topic
00:01:11.73\00:01:15.20
that we will be discussing.
00:01:15.24\00:01:16.74
It is Project 144.
00:01:16.81\00:01:19.84
What is Project 144?
00:01:19.87\00:01:21.51
Well, you're going to
have to stay tuned to find out.
00:01:21.54\00:01:23.75
Here with me is Raven White,
00:01:23.78\00:01:26.55
and she is the Project 144
founder and wellness coach,
00:01:26.58\00:01:31.62
welcome to the program, Raven.
00:01:31.65\00:01:33.12
Thank you. Thank you.
00:01:33.15\00:01:34.49
It's great to have you here.
00:01:34.52\00:01:35.86
It's wonderful to be here.
00:01:35.89\00:01:37.23
I'm looking forward to
diving into this interview here.
00:01:37.26\00:01:40.90
I'm gonna tell you everything.
00:01:40.93\00:01:42.26
Yes, I want to
know about wellness,
00:01:42.30\00:01:44.20
I want to know
about Project 144,
00:01:44.27\00:01:47.04
how it got
started and all of that.
00:01:47.07\00:01:49.34
But before we dive in,
00:01:49.37\00:01:51.54
we're going to be blessed
in song by John Stoddart.
00:01:51.57\00:01:54.84
And the song is
entitled "Come Thou Fount."
00:01:54.88\00:01:57.85
Come, Thou fount
of every blessing
00:02:14.80\00:02:22.10
Tune my heart to sing Your grace
00:02:22.14\00:02:28.71
Streams of mercy, never ceasing
00:02:28.74\00:02:35.78
Call for songs of loudest praise
00:02:35.82\00:02:41.02
And teach me ever to adore Thee
00:02:41.06\00:02:48.03
May I still Thy goodness prove
00:02:48.06\00:02:53.37
While the hope of endless glory
00:02:56.71\00:03:03.75
Fills my heart with joy and love
00:03:03.78\00:03:07.95
Here I raise my Ebenezer
00:03:20.83\00:03:27.90
Hither by Thy help I've come
00:03:27.94\00:03:34.64
And I hope, by
00:03:34.68\00:03:38.05
Thy good pleasure
00:03:38.08\00:03:41.42
Safely to arrive at home
00:03:41.45\00:03:46.59
Jesus sought me when a stranger
00:03:46.62\00:03:53.53
Wandering from the fold of God
00:03:53.60\00:03:58.47
He, to rescue me from danger
00:04:01.84\00:04:08.91
Interposed His precious blood
00:04:08.94\00:04:13.55
His precious blood
00:04:16.82\00:04:20.76
Oh, to grace how great a debtor
00:04:38.21\00:04:45.28
Daily I'm constrained to be
00:04:45.31\00:04:51.82
Let thy goodness like a fetter
00:04:51.85\00:04:58.86
Draw me closer, Lord, to Thee
00:04:58.89\00:05:03.97
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
00:05:04.00\00:05:11.07
Prone to leave the God I love
00:05:11.11\00:05:16.28
So here's my heart, Lord
00:05:19.31\00:05:23.18
Take and seal it
00:05:23.22\00:05:26.62
Seal it for Your court above
00:05:26.65\00:05:31.83
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
00:05:31.86\00:05:38.77
Prone to leave the God I love
00:05:38.80\00:05:45.61
I love
00:05:45.64\00:05:50.45
Here's my heart, Lord
00:05:50.48\00:05:53.92
Take and seal it
00:05:53.95\00:05:57.49
Seal it for Your court above
00:05:57.52\00:06:00.79
Seal it for Your court above
00:06:04.36\00:06:08.16
Seal it for Your court above
00:06:11.20\00:06:15.07
Seal it for Your court above
00:06:28.82\00:06:34.52
Wow!
00:06:40.90\00:06:42.23
John Stoddart is truly
gifted, he can play and sing.
00:06:42.26\00:06:45.37
Amen.
00:06:45.40\00:06:46.74
Hopefully when we get to heaven,
00:06:46.77\00:06:48.10
I'll be able to do the same.
00:06:48.14\00:06:49.64
I definitely can't
sing right now for sure.
00:06:49.67\00:06:53.38
But, Raven, I want to jump
into Project 144 is all about.
00:06:53.41\00:06:59.31
We actually have a little video
00:06:59.35\00:07:02.25

little bit about Project 144.
00:07:02.28\00:07:05.22
And after that video,

00:08:24.67\00:08:26.94
Wow, that's a really interesting
00:08:32.04\00:08:34.18
and nice clip to show us
00:08:34.21\00:08:36.58
a little bit about
what Project 144 is about.
00:08:36.61\00:08:39.28
What can you add to that?
00:08:39.31\00:08:41.05
Well, one of the things
00:08:41.08\00:08:42.45
that I love about
our agency is that
00:08:42.48\00:08:45.22
it's really people who are just
trying to utilize their skills
00:08:45.25\00:08:49.42
to reach souls for Christ.
00:08:49.46\00:08:51.96
I was never one who's
going to be the Bible worker,
00:08:51.99\00:08:54.13
colporteur, knock on
the door selling some book,
00:08:54.20\00:08:56.06
that's not whom I am.
00:08:56.10\00:08:58.30
But I want to be able
00:08:58.33\00:08:59.90
to help finish the
work like everyone else,
00:08:59.93\00:09:03.07
so our agency is
full of people who says,
00:09:03.10\00:09:05.91
"We want to use
utilize health to do that."
00:09:05.94\00:09:09.51
So we learn natural remedies,
00:09:09.54\00:09:11.41
whether it's herbs or
how to do hydrotherapy,
00:09:11.45\00:09:15.32
vegan cooking, exercise
plans, timely management,
00:09:15.35\00:09:18.39
help you with your depression.
00:09:18.42\00:09:20.29
We're trying to
empower you, you know,
00:09:20.36\00:09:23.12
and so in our agency,
00:09:23.16\00:09:24.86
I don't want to
just help the client,
00:09:24.89\00:09:26.56
I want to keep the
agent well as well.
00:09:26.59\00:09:28.53
So I check in each week
00:09:28.56\00:09:30.57
to make sure everything's okay.
00:09:30.60\00:09:32.47
When you're dealing
with various clients
00:09:32.50\00:09:34.04
who are hurting,
sometimes they hurt back.
00:09:34.07\00:09:36.47
And they don't
mean to, you know,
00:09:36.50\00:09:38.47
you have Alzheimer's patients
00:09:38.51\00:09:39.94
who don't
remember what they're doing
00:09:39.97\00:09:41.64
and sometimes
they scream and yell,
00:09:41.68\00:09:43.14
you have to remember
not to take it personal,
00:09:43.18\00:09:45.28
and we're there to
help people know Christ.
00:09:45.31\00:09:47.62
Even in our agency at times,
00:09:47.65\00:09:48.98
we've even helped
people prepare for death.
00:09:49.02\00:09:51.49
I mean, we've been
with them until they died,
00:09:51.52\00:09:53.66
I mean, we had
one just recently,
00:09:53.69\00:09:56.19
family is not even Christian,
00:09:56.22\00:09:57.96
but they were
willing to hear the gospel
00:09:57.99\00:10:00.20
and let her die in peace
00:10:00.23\00:10:01.76
and invited us to the
funeral in another country.
00:10:01.80\00:10:04.27
So that's just what we're about,
00:10:04.30\00:10:06.84
it's about finishing the work
00:10:06.87\00:10:08.37
and reaching souls for Christ,
00:10:08.40\00:10:09.87
but we just choose
to do it in this way,
00:10:09.90\00:10:11.34
in a practical way.
00:10:11.37\00:10:12.71
Praise the Lord.
00:10:12.74\00:10:14.08
Well, how did you
00:10:14.11\00:10:15.44
or where did you
receive your training?
00:10:15.48\00:10:16.85
At Wildwood
Center Health Evangelism,
00:10:16.88\00:10:19.21
where I'm still working now
00:10:19.25\00:10:20.72
as an integration director
at the lifestyle center.
00:10:20.75\00:10:23.52
They taught me again
disease and treatment,
00:10:23.59\00:10:25.19
natural remedies
00:10:25.22\00:10:26.55
and when I was in
the advanced course,
00:10:26.59\00:10:28.32
is they have a six month
course and a one year course.
00:10:28.36\00:10:31.76
I did the advanced
course and while I was there,
00:10:31.79\00:10:34.20
I was like "Guys, you know,
00:10:34.23\00:10:35.56
we're not going to
remember all this stuff.
00:10:35.60\00:10:37.27
It's good to apply it now."
00:10:37.30\00:10:39.10
And so at that time,
00:10:39.13\00:10:41.17
I had a ministry
called Regain in Eden,
00:10:41.20\00:10:43.34
I learned it from a quote
00:10:43.41\00:10:44.74
I read in Spirit of
Prophecy which says,
00:10:44.77\00:10:46.51
"If we can regain Eden by
following Christ methods."
00:10:46.54\00:10:49.51
And so I'm thinking,
00:10:49.54\00:10:50.88
"Let's name the
ministry Regain in Eden
00:10:50.95\00:10:52.95
and lets learn things."
00:10:52.98\00:10:54.52
So we had people call us,
00:10:54.55\00:10:55.88
send us their
medical records as students
00:10:55.92\00:10:58.02
and we're talking to them,
going through the encyclopedias
00:10:58.05\00:11:00.66
that we have
written as, you know,
00:11:00.69\00:11:02.19
our Adventists doctors wrote.
00:11:02.22\00:11:04.23
And we're trying to
help them with their health,
00:11:04.26\00:11:05.69
we're going out to churches
00:11:05.73\00:11:07.13
and we're doing
health programs as students,
00:11:07.20\00:11:09.83
you know, and then we decided
00:11:09.86\00:11:11.60
we wanted to
create a network system.
00:11:11.63\00:11:13.44
But at the time we
didn't really have anything set,
00:11:13.47\00:11:15.90
but we were thinking,
00:11:15.94\00:11:17.31
how do we support one
another when we all leave?
00:11:17.34\00:11:19.74
And so, Regain was birth there
00:11:19.77\00:11:22.54
and it really didn't
come to light until 2014,
00:11:22.58\00:11:26.51
when my dad was dying.
00:11:26.55\00:11:28.15
And I was trying to find someone
00:11:28.18\00:11:29.85
to send to his home
who knew natural remedies
00:11:29.88\00:11:32.39
who can help my dad,
00:11:32.42\00:11:33.76
but there really wasn't
an organized hub for that.
00:11:33.79\00:11:37.03
So by 2015,
00:11:37.06\00:11:38.39
and me just trying
to find people to say,
00:11:38.43\00:11:40.70
"Hey, are you interested?
00:11:40.73\00:11:42.06
Are you interested to
try to get into a hub?"
00:11:42.10\00:11:44.53
I have more people contacting me
00:11:44.57\00:11:46.20
because word of
mouth went around fast.
00:11:46.23\00:11:48.40
And so I started
sending people out,
00:11:48.44\00:11:49.90
just connecting people,
just whoever was willing to go.
00:11:49.94\00:11:53.98
By 2016 it became solid,
00:11:54.01\00:11:57.05
you know, like, let's
just make it a business
00:11:57.08\00:11:58.51
because people after a
while started to want to know
00:11:58.55\00:12:00.05
"Are you legit?"
00:12:00.12\00:12:01.45
Yeah, yeah.
00:12:01.48\00:12:02.82
And becoming a
business makes you legit.
00:12:02.85\00:12:04.19
But it really is, again,
00:12:04.22\00:12:05.82
people who just want to
share the Gospel of Jesus
00:12:05.85\00:12:08.32
by utilizing the
health message to do it.
00:12:08.36\00:12:10.56
So at Wildwood, they
teach you all of these things,
00:12:10.63\00:12:13.80
how to help with
diabetes, hypertension, cancer,
00:12:13.83\00:12:18.30
naturally the same way
00:12:18.33\00:12:19.67
what we do in lifestyle centers.
00:12:19.70\00:12:21.50
So we're taking what you
would do at a lifestyle center
00:12:21.54\00:12:23.91
and we're
bringing it to your home.
00:12:23.94\00:12:26.31
Whether we talk
to you on a phone,
00:12:26.34\00:12:27.68
you know, doing on the internet
00:12:27.71\00:12:29.04
or coming into
your home doing a visit,
00:12:29.08\00:12:31.31
and a minimum of at
least four hours, if we need.
00:12:31.35\00:12:33.85
We have a lady who said that,
00:12:33.92\00:12:35.25
"Can you just come
help me with my kitchen,
00:12:35.28\00:12:36.79
you know, what
should I get rid of?
00:12:36.82\00:12:38.79
How should I
cook? How should I eat?
00:12:38.82\00:12:40.36
How should I shop?"
00:12:40.39\00:12:41.72
It's interesting
00:12:41.76\00:12:43.09
because a lot of
people don't know that,
00:12:43.12\00:12:44.46
I mean, those are things that
00:12:44.49\00:12:46.03
a lot of people
grow up without knowing,
00:12:46.06\00:12:47.50
you know, how should I eat?
00:12:47.53\00:12:48.86
How should I shop like you said?
00:12:48.90\00:12:50.27
Exactly. Exactly. And it gets...
00:12:50.30\00:12:51.63
You have trepidation in trying
to change to a new lifestyle
00:12:51.67\00:12:55.87
with the old habits
in your old environment,
00:12:55.90\00:12:58.94
so we're willing to take
that extra step and empower you,
00:12:58.97\00:13:02.64
so that's what makes
us a little different.
00:13:02.68\00:13:04.25
You have other
agencies that are non-medical,
00:13:04.28\00:13:07.22
but what makes
us different is that
00:13:07.25\00:13:09.85
we will pray with you,
00:13:09.88\00:13:11.22
we will bring the
natural remedies aspect
00:13:11.25\00:13:13.76
and we will empower you.
00:13:13.79\00:13:15.59
So it's not just
coming to do it all for you,
00:13:15.62\00:13:18.23
but it's to do it with
you and assist you as well.
00:13:18.26\00:13:21.80
And we check in to make sure
00:13:21.83\00:13:23.20
everyone is doing
well on a continual basis,
00:13:23.23\00:13:25.93
so there's peace
with the service.
00:13:25.97\00:13:27.37
Yes.
00:13:27.44\00:13:28.77
And it's not just a
business, this is a ministry.
00:13:28.80\00:13:31.31
It's a ministry,
exactly, exactly.
00:13:31.34\00:13:33.68
Absolutely.
00:13:33.71\00:13:35.04
Now, what advanced courses...
00:13:35.08\00:13:37.65
Tell me about
some advanced courses?
00:13:37.68\00:13:39.01
Okay.
00:13:39.05\00:13:40.42
So at the Center
of Health Evangelism,
00:13:40.45\00:13:42.88
now they have if you want to...
00:13:42.92\00:13:45.02
The six month course
will teach you everything...
00:13:45.05\00:13:47.29
Okay. Okay,
massage, hydrotherapy.
00:13:47.36\00:13:50.43
But then if you say,
"I want to know deeper."
00:13:50.46\00:13:52.49
Okay. Okay.
00:13:52.53\00:13:53.90
So you have the advanced course
00:13:53.93\00:13:55.26
where it has just
lifestyle training,
00:13:55.30\00:13:56.87
lifestyle coaching,
00:13:56.90\00:13:58.23
and then you have
the business course
00:13:58.27\00:13:59.60
and I teach
entrepreneur business course,
00:13:59.63\00:14:01.24
I mean, class, this
class and of course,
00:14:01.27\00:14:03.91
okay, so for those who said,
"I want to start a business,
00:14:03.94\00:14:06.98
I want to know
a little bit more.
00:14:07.01\00:14:08.34
How do I run my own?"
00:14:08.38\00:14:09.71
Or "Hey, I want
to do more lifestyle,
00:14:09.74\00:14:11.08
get out there and do one on one
or work in a lifestyle center."
00:14:11.11\00:14:14.75
We have those two
for the advanced course
00:14:14.78\00:14:17.12
and it's usually
a one year course
00:14:17.19\00:14:18.62
and then you do an
apprenticeship as well
00:14:18.65\00:14:20.06
to help train you with that.
00:14:20.09\00:14:21.42
Oh, nice. Wow.
00:14:21.46\00:14:22.79
Okay.
00:14:22.82\00:14:24.16
And what are...
00:14:24.19\00:14:26.03
Let's say, all of the services
that Project 144 offers,
00:14:26.06\00:14:30.27
I know you said
you go into the homes,
00:14:30.30\00:14:31.93
you may look and
see what they have,
00:14:31.97\00:14:34.04
help them with
their shopping list,
00:14:34.07\00:14:36.27
help them learn how to eat.
00:14:36.30\00:14:38.91
What other things?
00:14:38.94\00:14:40.28
So you have a
breakdown of the coaching,
00:14:40.31\00:14:43.35
consultation coaching,
00:14:43.38\00:14:45.21
we really get into the
depths, hearing your goals,
00:14:45.25\00:14:48.75
and then saying, "How
can we meet your needs?
00:14:48.78\00:14:51.02
What are you doing?
00:14:51.05\00:14:52.39
What are you
eating? How are you living?
00:14:52.42\00:14:53.76
How are you
sleeping? How are you working?
00:14:53.79\00:14:55.46
What are your thought patterns,
based upon your goals?"
00:14:55.49\00:14:58.56
Or if someone says, "I
need someone long term."
00:14:58.59\00:15:01.53
That's care giving.
00:15:01.56\00:15:03.00
So we have someone for that.
00:15:03.03\00:15:05.00
We also have actually
in the lifestyle program,
00:15:05.03\00:15:07.14
I can't go out to Wildwood,
I can't go out to Uchee Pines,
00:15:07.17\00:15:09.37
you know, "Can
you come do it here?
00:15:09.40\00:15:11.44
Or can you follow up
from a lifestyle program?
00:15:11.47\00:15:13.58
How do I take what I've
learned in my lifestyle program
00:15:13.61\00:15:16.38
into my home?"
00:15:16.41\00:15:17.81
We're trying to even
get to the point where
00:15:17.85\00:15:19.41
if your doctors
tell you something,
00:15:19.45\00:15:20.82
and you're like, "I
don't know how to apply this,
00:15:20.85\00:15:22.55
how do I apply this,"
00:15:22.58\00:15:23.92
then we can be
able to help with that.
00:15:23.99\00:15:25.75
And then we also
have an education system
00:15:25.79\00:15:27.66
so if you would
like us to come to you,
00:15:27.69\00:15:29.56
we've had our
agents go into homes
00:15:29.59\00:15:32.09
and educate you in your home,
00:15:32.13\00:15:33.80
we can educate your church,
00:15:33.83\00:15:35.16
we can educate your
business and just teach them,
00:15:35.20\00:15:37.47
I mean, basic, if
you have hypertension,
00:15:37.50\00:15:40.54
something as simple as putting
heating pad on your kidneys
00:15:40.57\00:15:44.74
will help lower
your blood pressure.
00:15:44.77\00:15:46.88
So something as simple as
that, doing a hot foot bath,
00:15:46.91\00:15:49.58
basic things, you
don't need Tylenol,
00:15:49.61\00:15:52.15
we want to teach that.
00:15:52.18\00:15:53.52
So they are
empowered to help others.
00:15:53.55\00:15:55.65
So there's a lot
of natural remedies
00:15:55.68\00:15:57.39
that are available that
will, you know, a lot of times
00:15:57.42\00:16:00.76
when you look
at medicine, right?
00:16:00.79\00:16:02.52
Medicine just
masks the symptoms,
00:16:02.56\00:16:04.59
but it doesn't go
to the root cause.
00:16:04.63\00:16:07.23
Right, exactly.
00:16:07.30\00:16:08.63
So you guys kind
of find the root cause
00:16:08.66\00:16:10.17
and treat that?
00:16:10.20\00:16:11.73
To the best of our ability
00:16:11.77\00:16:13.10
we hear what your
chief complaint is
00:16:13.13\00:16:15.90
and we try to meet your
needs with your chief complaint.
00:16:15.94\00:16:17.97
If we need us to
work with your provider,
00:16:18.01\00:16:21.14
we can do that.
00:16:21.18\00:16:22.51
Now we have a nurse
practitioner on staff.
00:16:22.54\00:16:25.35
So if you need a
little bit extra wisdom
00:16:25.38\00:16:27.22
and knowledge on
what to do, we have her,
00:16:27.25\00:16:29.32
mental health specialist,
00:16:29.35\00:16:30.69
we're even looking
for a nutritionist, plug,
00:16:30.72\00:16:34.76
you know, doctor,
super dieter, plug, you know,
00:16:34.79\00:16:37.86
so what we're trying to do,
00:16:37.89\00:16:39.33
we're trying to become
a little bit more holistic
00:16:39.36\00:16:41.06
for those who cannot
come to a lifestyle program.
00:16:41.10\00:16:44.90
How can we bring it to you?
00:16:44.93\00:16:46.27
Because sometimes it's hard
to go away for six weeks or,
00:16:46.30\00:16:49.64
you know, or however long,
you know, the program maybe,
00:16:49.67\00:16:52.34
you have to go to
work, you have to...
00:16:52.37\00:16:54.18
Yeah, so that's beautiful
that you go into the home.
00:16:54.21\00:16:57.28
Now, where are
these services available?
00:16:57.35\00:16:59.41
Well, actually nationwide.
00:16:59.45\00:17:02.55
I'm trying to get an
agent in every state.
00:17:02.58\00:17:05.29
Right now
there's only a few agents
00:17:05.32\00:17:07.16
and maybe the major like
New York and Connecticut,
00:17:07.19\00:17:10.63
DC and Chattanooga,
00:17:10.66\00:17:12.79
but I'm trying
to get them all over
00:17:12.83\00:17:14.20
so people have to
keep flying people
00:17:14.23\00:17:16.06
such far distances.
00:17:16.10\00:17:18.10
I've even had people call
me from out of the country.
00:17:18.13\00:17:20.87
Now I don't really
delved into that too much
00:17:20.94\00:17:23.81
only because I want to make sure
00:17:23.84\00:17:25.17
I'm not sending anyone
from their area to their home
00:17:25.21\00:17:28.51
and I don't know them.
00:17:28.54\00:17:29.88
And that brings me to
my next question for you,
00:17:29.91\00:17:32.88
you know, people at
home may be concerned about
00:17:32.91\00:17:35.95
who's coming into
their home and naturally so.
00:17:35.98\00:17:39.05
What kind of safety guidelines
00:17:39.09\00:17:42.09
or parameters do
you have in place?
00:17:42.12\00:17:44.69
Okay.
00:17:44.73\00:17:46.06
So one of the things is a
nine reference background check.
00:17:46.09\00:17:49.23
So I personally call each place
asking about their character,
00:17:49.26\00:17:53.23
ask about their work
ethic, their spiritual ethic,
00:17:53.27\00:17:56.81
as well as trying to see
00:17:56.84\00:17:59.91
where their mindset
is in dealing with people
00:17:59.94\00:18:02.21
in their home, if they're...
00:18:02.24\00:18:04.15
How do they handle anger?
00:18:04.18\00:18:05.71
How do they handle
00:18:05.75\00:18:07.22
when a person
won't follow their lead
00:18:07.25\00:18:09.18
and keep up what
they're asking for?
00:18:09.22\00:18:11.89
Because that deals with the
emotional aspect of that pride,
00:18:11.92\00:18:15.29
making sure that you're
not sending someone in there
00:18:15.32\00:18:17.26
who is rough.
00:18:17.33\00:18:18.69
So, but I also do a
check on the people themselves.
00:18:18.73\00:18:23.47
I've sent my agents out places
00:18:23.50\00:18:25.43
and I want to make sure that
their homes are safe as well.
00:18:25.47\00:18:28.34
So I do reference
checks on the clients as well.
00:18:28.37\00:18:32.67
And if they're needed,
00:18:32.71\00:18:34.08
if we need to do a
background check, we will.
00:18:34.11\00:18:36.38
But one of my future goals is
to put agents in various places
00:18:36.41\00:18:41.15
so they can go
check the homes as well.
00:18:41.18\00:18:43.62
So that's something else
that I want to do but each week
00:18:43.69\00:18:45.92
I try to check in
again with the client
00:18:45.95\00:18:48.39
and with the agent to
make sure everything's okay.
00:18:48.42\00:18:50.53
Nice.
00:18:50.56\00:18:51.89
And what types of
conditions do you help with?
00:18:51.93\00:18:55.23
Okay, so at this point
we will take on anything
00:18:55.26\00:18:59.37
but we will let
people know, again,
00:18:59.40\00:19:01.94
we're not the healer,
we're just a catalyst,
00:19:01.97\00:19:04.44
so we will try to do our best.
00:19:04.47\00:19:07.64
And some people
come in such late stages
00:19:07.68\00:19:10.28
that we'll let them know,
00:19:10.35\00:19:12.28
the natural remedies probably
won't work in a time period
00:19:12.31\00:19:16.52
that you're giving us.
00:19:16.55\00:19:18.35
Someone who's saying
00:19:18.39\00:19:19.72
"I actually want
to lose some weight."
00:19:19.75\00:19:21.09
Well, that's a very
different, you know,
00:19:21.12\00:19:22.46
probably within a week or two,
00:19:22.49\00:19:23.83
we can make that really
happen depending on your goals.
00:19:23.86\00:19:26.29
But for someone who
has stage four cancer,
00:19:26.33\00:19:28.96
well, 11 days or 25 days
00:19:29.00\00:19:31.63
is not going to
reverse that so fast, you know,
00:19:31.67\00:19:34.24
if you can give us the time.
00:19:34.27\00:19:35.80
So like I've mentioned before,
00:19:35.84\00:19:37.61
we had a person
who was in late stage,
00:19:37.64\00:19:40.51
and we help them
pass away, you know,
00:19:40.58\00:19:43.55
we were with them,
we prayed with them,
00:19:43.58\00:19:45.25
and we did the best we could,
00:19:45.28\00:19:46.61
giving them still a hope
00:19:46.65\00:19:48.15
that they can live a better life
00:19:48.18\00:19:50.69
until they die.
00:19:50.72\00:19:52.05
And so they died with less pain
00:19:52.09\00:19:54.69
without being
pumped with medications.
00:19:54.72\00:19:57.06
But we're willing to take it on,
00:19:57.13\00:19:59.13
we would suggest, some people
00:19:59.16\00:20:00.53
probably go to a
lifestyle center first,
00:20:00.60\00:20:02.13
we'll try to work with
their medical professionals
00:20:02.16\00:20:03.87
as much as we can,
00:20:03.90\00:20:05.40
but we want to give people hope
00:20:05.43\00:20:06.77
that they're not doing it alone.
00:20:06.84\00:20:08.17
And that's really the
biggest thing that we'll do.
00:20:08.20\00:20:09.64
So we'll take on anything,
00:20:09.67\00:20:12.27
but we're not allowed
00:20:12.31\00:20:13.68
because we're not
medical professionals
00:20:13.71\00:20:15.61
to touch medications
00:20:15.64\00:20:16.98
which makes it very
difficult for them at times.
00:20:17.05\00:20:19.11
So they would
need another person
00:20:19.15\00:20:20.52
to come in and put
their medications together
00:20:20.55\00:20:23.05
and we'll remind them
to take their medications.
00:20:23.08\00:20:26.42
But we'll do everything else
00:20:26.45\00:20:27.79
to try to the
best of our ability.
00:20:27.82\00:20:29.22
Nice.
00:20:29.26\00:20:30.63
And do you have a
specific demographic
00:20:30.66\00:20:32.69
in terms of age or a need?
00:20:32.73\00:20:34.50
Well, honestly, we
deal with 45 and up,
00:20:34.53\00:20:37.27
that demographic is much
more willing to be honest
00:20:37.30\00:20:39.70
that they have a problem
00:20:39.73\00:20:41.07
as well as they
have the ability to pay.
00:20:41.10\00:20:44.11
We've worked
with younger people,
00:20:44.14\00:20:45.64
but it's still
that demographic say,
00:20:45.67\00:20:47.18
"Hey, can you help my
niece and nephew or my child?
00:20:47.21\00:20:50.55
So that demographics
is usually 40 and up,
00:20:50.58\00:20:53.75
we'll be willing to help.
00:20:53.82\00:20:55.62
And what's the difference
between a lifestyle center
00:20:55.65\00:20:59.29
and Project 144?
00:20:59.32\00:21:00.76
Okay.
00:21:00.79\00:21:02.16
So we're the one on
one lifestyle center.
00:21:02.19\00:21:05.03
So in the lifestyle
center, you have a department
00:21:05.06\00:21:08.06
who's geared for
your hydrotherapy,
00:21:08.10\00:21:10.20
you know, the kitchen
is geared for your health.
00:21:10.27\00:21:13.64
And you have, maybe
even your medical providers,
00:21:13.67\00:21:16.07
which we have at
Uchee Pines or Wildwood.
00:21:16.10\00:21:19.54
With us, with that one
person doing everything,
00:21:19.57\00:21:23.38
so instead of a fancy 16 jet
00:21:23.45\00:21:26.08
contrast shower that you'll get,
00:21:26.11\00:21:27.95
you got your
shower, hot, cold, you know.
00:21:27.98\00:21:30.99
Yeah.
00:21:31.02\00:21:32.35
Instead of some
fomentation with a steam tank,
00:21:32.39\00:21:34.29
we have towels and
we'll be using your oven
00:21:34.32\00:21:36.49
or your microwave.
00:21:36.52\00:21:37.86
Okay. So there's...
00:21:37.89\00:21:39.23
We'll give you
the same treatments
00:21:39.26\00:21:41.56
but just
understand it's in your home.
00:21:41.60\00:21:43.60
Yes, and you're improvising,
utilizing the things
00:21:43.67\00:21:47.04
that are available to you.
00:21:47.07\00:21:48.67
Exactly.
00:21:48.70\00:21:50.04
And that's why we
check in with our agents
00:21:50.11\00:21:51.84
because it's a lot doing
00:21:51.87\00:21:53.48
a whole lifestyle
department program.
00:21:53.51\00:21:56.21
You're one person
doing it yourself,
00:21:56.24\00:21:58.68
you know, and you're
living with that person
00:21:58.71\00:22:00.52
24 hours a day.
00:22:00.55\00:22:02.38
If that's, if you're
doing in home programs.
00:22:02.42\00:22:04.42
Yeah, got you.
00:22:04.45\00:22:05.95
So what...
00:22:05.99\00:22:08.19
People are probably thinking
like, "What is the cost?"
00:22:08.22\00:22:10.96
What does this cost?
You know, does it vary...
00:22:10.99\00:22:13.40
Arm and a leg.
00:22:13.43\00:22:14.76
Yeah, yeah, how much,
00:22:14.80\00:22:16.87
like what are the costs
for the services you offer?
00:22:16.90\00:22:19.97
It's definitely a little cheaper
00:22:20.04\00:22:21.37
because it's in your home.
00:22:21.40\00:22:22.74
So it ranges from
$600 to about $1000
00:22:22.77\00:22:27.08
depending on if a
person just want a companion,
00:22:27.11\00:22:29.64
or they want
someone in their home
00:22:29.68\00:22:31.55
who knows natural
remedies, hydrotherapy,
00:22:31.58\00:22:34.38
doing the vegan cooking,
going out shopping for them,
00:22:34.42\00:22:36.55
cleaning for them,
00:22:36.58\00:22:37.99
or they're just
giving them information.
00:22:38.02\00:22:39.89
So there's a range,
00:22:39.92\00:22:41.26
or doing a full
lifestyle program,
00:22:41.29\00:22:43.29
or care giving, it ranges.
00:22:43.32\00:22:44.76
Got you.
00:22:44.79\00:22:46.13
Based on the
services that's around you.
00:22:46.16\00:22:47.50
It's based on
the services, yeah.
00:22:47.53\00:22:49.13
What kind of
financing is available?
00:22:49.16\00:22:51.13
So God has blessed
00:22:51.17\00:22:52.50
that we have care credit
partnered with another group,
00:22:52.53\00:22:56.00
where they're able to pay
00:22:56.04\00:22:57.41
for their
medical services up front
00:22:57.44\00:22:59.91
and then they have
six months to a year
00:22:59.94\00:23:02.54
to pay back with no interest.
00:23:02.58\00:23:05.01
We've also learned
from our nurse practitioner
00:23:05.05\00:23:07.22
about superbill,
00:23:07.25\00:23:08.68
so we're able to give
a bill that's been set up
00:23:08.72\00:23:11.55
that you can give
to an insurance company
00:23:11.59\00:23:14.26
and they're able to say,
00:23:14.29\00:23:15.62
"Hey, I have out of
coverage services here,
00:23:15.66\00:23:18.89
if you could just
help me pay for it.
00:23:18.93\00:23:21.73
Whatever little
bit you can give,
00:23:21.76\00:23:23.13
it will be great."
00:23:23.16\00:23:24.50
So that's what I've learned
about superbill as of recently
00:23:24.53\00:23:26.60
something we're
going to try to add to it.
00:23:26.63\00:23:29.14
We are looking to
have a fund for low income,
00:23:29.17\00:23:34.28
you know, clients,
00:23:34.31\00:23:35.68
we're working with a
nonprofit organization right now
00:23:35.71\00:23:37.85
that does tax write offs,
00:23:37.88\00:23:39.65
so anytime you want to give
to help support the ministry,
00:23:39.68\00:23:43.22
you can be able to
get a tax write off,
00:23:43.25\00:23:44.59
but we're trying to develop
just a fund just for them.
00:23:44.62\00:23:47.72
So for a lot of
people who can't pick
00:23:47.76\00:23:49.42
as it is out of pocket.
00:23:49.46\00:23:51.39
If we do get a supervisor,
a medical supervisor,
00:23:51.43\00:23:55.83
then we'll probably
be able to start now
00:23:55.86\00:23:57.97
billing insurance companies
00:23:58.00\00:23:59.33
because now I have a medical,
00:23:59.37\00:24:01.50
mental health
specialists on team
00:24:01.54\00:24:02.97
and I have a nurse
practitioner on team.
00:24:03.00\00:24:06.41
So that's a good thing,
00:24:06.44\00:24:07.78
we're trying to
get a nutritionist
00:24:07.81\00:24:09.14
like I was mentioning before
00:24:09.18\00:24:10.55
but they can bill
for their services.
00:24:10.58\00:24:11.91
So you're currently looking
00:24:11.95\00:24:13.28
for those
positions to be filled.
00:24:13.31\00:24:14.65
Yes, yes.
00:24:14.68\00:24:16.02
You want to make sure we
put that out there as well.
00:24:16.05\00:24:17.95
Because we're
trying to help the client,
00:24:17.99\00:24:19.32
we're trying to help the person
00:24:19.35\00:24:20.69
and the whole goal
again is utilizing our skills
00:24:20.76\00:24:23.43
to reach souls for Christ.
00:24:23.46\00:24:24.99
So we can finish
this work, right?
00:24:25.03\00:24:26.36
Amen.
00:24:26.39\00:24:27.73
So that's kind of
the thing we're doing.
00:24:27.76\00:24:29.10
Okay.
00:24:29.13\00:24:30.47
Tell us about
some of your workers?
00:24:30.50\00:24:31.83
Okay.
00:24:31.87\00:24:33.20
Some of your employees?
00:24:33.23\00:24:34.57
They vary, they're
from, if the person says,
00:24:34.60\00:24:35.94
"Look, I don't know
anything, but I want to help."
00:24:35.97\00:24:37.51
You know, "Can you help me out?"
00:24:37.54\00:24:39.41
With just that I do
want to utilize my heart
00:24:39.44\00:24:42.01
and whatever skills I have.
00:24:42.04\00:24:43.95
And then we have nurses,
00:24:43.98\00:24:45.71
you know, we have
mental health specialists,
00:24:45.75\00:24:47.72
we have CNAs,
00:24:47.75\00:24:49.08
we have various people
00:24:49.12\00:24:50.49
who've been doing the
medical missionary work
00:24:50.52\00:24:52.15
for 15 years.
00:24:52.19\00:24:54.26
So as of, I have two testimonies
00:24:54.29\00:24:56.22
where we have one young lady
00:24:56.26\00:24:57.89
who hugged with a nurse though,
00:24:57.93\00:24:59.79
but she herself is like,
00:24:59.83\00:25:01.16
"Look, I just
want to get into this
00:25:01.20\00:25:02.53
medical missionary stuff."
00:25:02.56\00:25:03.90
Yeah.
00:25:03.97\00:25:05.30
And, but I had a lady say,
00:25:05.33\00:25:06.67
"But I need somebody right now."
00:25:06.70\00:25:08.04
And I said, "Well, I
don't really have anyone,
00:25:08.07\00:25:09.40
they're all
already designated out,
00:25:09.44\00:25:10.81
but I do have this young lady
who's willing to come help."
00:25:10.84\00:25:13.58
And what I'll do is
00:25:13.61\00:25:14.94
I'll utilize the
skills and knowledge
00:25:14.98\00:25:16.31
I've learned from the
Center of Health Evangelism,
00:25:16.34\00:25:18.81
to be able to, you know,
help you as much as I can.
00:25:18.85\00:25:21.55
So we would tag team, you know,
I would give her information,
00:25:21.58\00:25:24.75
I sent her diabetic...
00:25:24.79\00:25:26.49
And it was a
diabetic patient at the time,
00:25:26.52\00:25:28.59
sent her diabetic menus.
00:25:28.62\00:25:31.03
I sent her hydrotherapy
treatment she could do,
00:25:31.06\00:25:33.60
and the lady is
now off her insulin.
00:25:33.63\00:25:36.33
And so then I had another
lady just come from Arizona.
00:25:36.36\00:25:40.27
She went to help out
00:25:40.34\00:25:41.90
and the beautiful part
is that lady couldn't walk.
00:25:41.94\00:25:46.14
I was like,
"Are you kidding me?"
00:25:46.17\00:25:47.58
And her legs were swollen.
00:25:47.61\00:25:48.94
Within three
weeks she's walking.
00:25:48.98\00:25:51.48
She's walking and the lady came
00:25:51.51\00:25:53.52
and gave a
testimony at Wildwood,
00:25:53.55\00:25:54.95
so I was like "Yay."
00:25:54.98\00:25:56.32
That is awesome.
So the thing is...
00:25:56.35\00:25:58.52
But I end up telling
her, texting her like,
00:25:58.55\00:26:00.09
"Okay, do this
hydrotherapy but do this,"
00:26:00.16\00:26:02.12
because there are
people who are skilled,
00:26:02.16\00:26:04.03
but they're already sent out.
00:26:04.06\00:26:05.79
And so that's one of the things
00:26:05.83\00:26:07.23
that I want to have for a future
00:26:07.30\00:26:08.63
is on job training.
00:26:08.66\00:26:10.17
Because I
believe our institutions
00:26:10.20\00:26:11.57
are great in training people,
their knowledge is superior.
00:26:11.60\00:26:14.80
But now I'm
trying to get someone
00:26:14.84\00:26:16.17
who's prepared to do
in home training alone,
00:26:16.20\00:26:20.38
how do I handle Type II diabetes
00:26:20.41\00:26:22.84
or even Type I diabetes?
00:26:22.88\00:26:24.75
How do I handle
stage four cancer,
00:26:24.78\00:26:26.51
we've been getting a
lot of cancer patients.
00:26:26.55\00:26:29.38
How do I handle with
someone with chronic pain?
00:26:29.42\00:26:32.02
You know, just
knowing that kind of knowledge
00:26:32.05\00:26:34.72
and being prepared to
handle emotional people
00:26:34.76\00:26:38.19
who are saying
"I'm in pain, I'm angry,
00:26:38.23\00:26:40.40
I'm screaming, I'm hollering,
00:26:40.43\00:26:41.83
I can't do this anymore."
00:26:41.86\00:26:45.00
And my agent is able
to say, "You know what?
00:26:45.03\00:26:46.84
We can do this.
00:26:46.87\00:26:48.27
I know how to call
upon the Lord and say,
00:26:48.30\00:26:49.84
"Lord, you need to
help me with this,"
00:26:49.87\00:26:51.64
because it's a mental
training as well as just skills.
00:26:51.67\00:26:55.48
So at this stage we'll take on,
00:26:55.51\00:26:58.58
we'll take on people
00:26:58.61\00:27:00.12
but as we're taking on people,
00:27:00.15\00:27:01.62
I want them to be
prepared, you know,
00:27:01.65\00:27:04.45
to handle whatever
situation with Christ.
00:27:04.49\00:27:07.56
And that's the key thing
when it comes to my agents,
00:27:07.59\00:27:10.33
but I'll take you on.
00:27:10.36\00:27:11.69
And if you have enough skills,
00:27:11.73\00:27:13.73
I can probably
just put you out there
00:27:13.80\00:27:15.13
depending on what the
client is willing to take
00:27:15.16\00:27:16.60
or what they need.
00:27:16.67\00:27:18.00
But majority people I say,
00:27:18.03\00:27:19.37
"Can you please go to Wildwood
or even take a Light program.
00:27:19.40\00:27:22.50
Light does one month
medical missionary program.
00:27:22.54\00:27:25.41
So that's another place
00:27:25.44\00:27:26.88
where I send
them for that as well.
00:27:26.91\00:27:28.44
Okay, you know,
one of the things
00:27:28.48\00:27:29.98
I like about your
company or organization
00:27:30.05\00:27:33.65
is that you look at both sides.
00:27:33.72\00:27:36.72
So you take care of your agents,
00:27:36.79\00:27:38.29
you make sure that
they're safe and taken care of
00:27:38.32\00:27:40.46
and you also go
in to the client,
00:27:40.49\00:27:43.16
and you're making sure
that they're going to be safe
00:27:43.19\00:27:45.33
and taken care of as well.
00:27:45.36\00:27:47.40
What's your recruitment process?
00:27:47.43\00:27:50.17
Usually, I go to
medical missionary schools.
00:27:50.20\00:27:54.64
Because again,
trying to get people
00:27:54.67\00:27:57.04
who know about natural remedies,
00:27:57.11\00:27:58.61
disease and treatments,
nutrition, hydrotherapy,
00:27:58.64\00:28:02.31
so I start there,
00:28:02.34\00:28:03.68
and then I start
branching out to Indeed,
00:28:03.75\00:28:06.45
you know, another job site,
00:28:06.48\00:28:08.12
because many people
are already out there.
00:28:08.15\00:28:10.62
And so they may be looking at...
00:28:10.69\00:28:12.05
I do Facebook.
00:28:12.09\00:28:14.09
I try to go to churches.
00:28:14.16\00:28:15.89
Word of mouth is
really big. Okay.
00:28:15.92\00:28:17.89
So that's kind of wherever
the recruitment right now
00:28:17.93\00:28:20.30
and I really want
to have this conference
00:28:20.33\00:28:24.30
because I want to unite
medical missionaries together
00:28:24.33\00:28:27.14
which I call Project Central,
00:28:27.17\00:28:29.50
it's supportive
networking system,
00:28:29.54\00:28:31.17
I would like to develop
00:28:31.21\00:28:32.67
and have a hub again
for medical missionaries.
00:28:32.71\00:28:36.28
And even those who
are not just doing health,
00:28:36.31\00:28:38.28
but they're
doing graphic design,
00:28:38.31\00:28:39.88
maybe they're
doing video editing,
00:28:39.91\00:28:41.62
maybe they're
doing auto mechanics,
00:28:41.65\00:28:43.32
but they want to
utilize their skills
00:28:43.39\00:28:46.12
to reach souls for Christ.
00:28:46.15\00:28:47.92
So my desire
again is to create a hub
00:28:47.96\00:28:50.56
to support one
another, individuals though.
00:28:50.63\00:28:54.10
But for the agency itself,
00:28:54.13\00:28:56.16
yes, I usually do
medical missionary
00:28:56.20\00:28:58.67
schools or
Facebook or word of mouth
00:28:58.70\00:29:01.00
to try to get people, or 3ABN.
00:29:01.04\00:29:03.17
There you go. There you go.
00:29:03.20\00:29:04.64
Absolutely. That's a great one.
00:29:04.67\00:29:08.68
How long is your
training process?
00:29:08.71\00:29:11.01
So it either can be a one month,
00:29:11.05\00:29:13.42
like with the Light program.
00:29:13.45\00:29:15.48
When it comes to me
personally, I train them,
00:29:15.52\00:29:18.52
we're trying to do
at least a week or two,
00:29:18.55\00:29:20.66
to really get
them into basic things
00:29:20.69\00:29:22.46
that they need, I mean,
vegan cooking, hydrotherapy,
00:29:22.49\00:29:26.09
those are the basic things
that they would need to know,
00:29:26.13\00:29:29.63
at least for
the training aspect.
00:29:29.66\00:29:31.60
And we're just going to
try to build more on that,
00:29:31.63\00:29:33.67
but right now the quickest thing
00:29:33.74\00:29:35.20
when someone comes and says,
"I don't know what I'm doing,
00:29:35.24\00:29:37.01
can you please help me?"
00:29:37.04\00:29:38.47
Here's some recipes,
here's some treatments
00:29:38.51\00:29:41.74
and let us work
with you, you know, that.
00:29:41.78\00:29:45.11
What would you say to someone
00:29:45.15\00:29:46.48
who's interested
in working with you,
00:29:46.51\00:29:47.85
but perhaps they
don't have any experience?
00:29:47.88\00:29:50.32
Come on down. Okay.
00:29:50.39\00:29:53.89
Come, come, let
us see what you have.
00:29:53.96\00:29:57.06
A lot of times we would say
00:29:57.13\00:29:58.69
a person doesn't
have any experience
00:29:58.73\00:30:00.10
but they really do.
00:30:00.13\00:30:02.20
Some people need
that companion care.
00:30:02.23\00:30:04.27
Some people need to know
that they're not failures,
00:30:04.30\00:30:06.53
and you're a
wonderful encourager.
00:30:06.57\00:30:09.54
And then just again,
00:30:09.57\00:30:10.91
like the two people I had prior,
00:30:10.94\00:30:12.74
they took the
little bit of knowledge
00:30:12.77\00:30:14.71
I gave them for
diabetes, for swollen legs,
00:30:14.74\00:30:18.51
for the ability of
not be able to walk
00:30:18.55\00:30:20.52
and to be able to make
an impact in their lives
00:30:20.55\00:30:22.88
because they were willing.
00:30:22.92\00:30:24.69
So for my deeper patients, yes,
00:30:24.72\00:30:27.16
I need you to know a little
bit more into the treatment
00:30:27.19\00:30:29.49
so you can stand on your own.
00:30:29.52\00:30:31.16
But for small
things, now, come on, join
00:30:31.19\00:30:34.80
and if there's something
else you need to know more,
00:30:34.83\00:30:37.07
then we'll guide you
in the right direction.
00:30:37.10\00:30:38.60
Yes.
00:30:38.63\00:30:40.04
How have you impacted
your clients spiritually?
00:30:40.07\00:30:43.20
Okay.
00:30:43.24\00:30:44.57
So we already got
the physical aspect,
00:30:44.61\00:30:46.54
which is usually the
easiest one people think is,
00:30:46.57\00:30:49.18
but it's actually 9/10 of
all diseases start in the mind.
00:30:49.21\00:30:52.65
Okay.
00:30:52.68\00:30:54.02
So when we counsel
them, when we asked them,
00:30:54.05\00:30:56.55
"How are you doing
with your time management?
00:30:56.58\00:30:58.72
How are you doing
with your worship life?
00:30:58.75\00:31:00.69
You know, are you sleeping?
00:31:00.76\00:31:02.26
A lot of times
people have been abused.
00:31:02.29\00:31:04.23
Some people are
still dealing with grief,
00:31:04.26\00:31:06.39
they're dealing
with denial of life,
00:31:06.43\00:31:07.76
unforgiveness.
00:31:07.80\00:31:09.40
And we found that
as we work with them,
00:31:09.43\00:31:12.00
the ulcers that
they had in their stomach
00:31:12.03\00:31:13.94
is going away, you know,
00:31:13.97\00:31:15.44
the pains that they have
in their body is going away
00:31:15.47\00:31:17.61
because now they're
dealing with really the mental
00:31:17.64\00:31:20.08
that is causing the physical.
00:31:20.11\00:31:22.64
And God has blessed a lot,
00:31:22.68\00:31:24.35
so again when the
lady has stage four cancer,
00:31:24.38\00:31:26.41
you're dealing
with cancer patients,
00:31:26.45\00:31:27.78
sometimes you deal
with people feel like
00:31:27.82\00:31:29.15
they have no hope,
00:31:29.18\00:31:30.69
but the world is
telling you, "It's a done deal."
00:31:30.72\00:31:32.95
And so try to encourage
them and have worship with them
00:31:32.99\00:31:35.72
and give them hope that
00:31:35.76\00:31:37.43
Christ has the power to heal
even if it's just emotionally
00:31:37.46\00:31:41.66
and mentally
00:31:41.70\00:31:43.03
and we leave
the physical to Him.
00:31:43.06\00:31:46.23
It's been a blessing, it
is truly been a blessing.
00:31:46.27\00:31:48.80
So that is more of a...
00:31:48.84\00:31:50.21
That's more because people know
00:31:50.24\00:31:51.57
we're Christians
so they're more open.
00:31:51.61\00:31:52.97
Yes.
00:31:53.01\00:31:54.34
And so that's
moreover we wanted for week,
00:31:54.38\00:31:55.71
I almost said
almost with all clients.
00:31:55.74\00:31:57.28
Yeah.
00:31:57.35\00:31:58.68
Have you always been passionate
about health and wellness
00:31:58.71\00:32:01.85
like your whole life or,
00:32:01.88\00:32:03.59
you know, when did
that come out about?
00:32:03.62\00:32:05.62
Oh, you... Oh, yeah.
00:32:05.65\00:32:06.99
I wasn't a Christian,
00:32:07.06\00:32:08.39
I actually had a
misconception about God.
00:32:08.42\00:32:11.16
Health helped me understand
00:32:11.19\00:32:12.53
that there was an
higher power about God.
00:32:12.56\00:32:14.70
Creation isn't
just understanding
00:32:14.73\00:32:16.70
why the body is functioning
the way it's functioning
00:32:16.77\00:32:18.77
and people kept
saying, "Oh, you know,
00:32:18.80\00:32:20.14
we're evolutionists,
we come from monkeys."
00:32:20.17\00:32:21.64
You come from a monkey.
00:32:21.67\00:32:23.20
I don't come from a monkey.
00:32:23.24\00:32:25.11
So as I started
to read and study
00:32:25.14\00:32:27.21
more about Christianity,
00:32:27.28\00:32:29.78
I started to learn
then about natural remedies
00:32:29.81\00:32:33.25
and just various things,
00:32:33.28\00:32:35.05
and so my
brother went into a coma
00:32:35.08\00:32:38.12
and he came out of it,
00:32:38.15\00:32:40.09
and they thought he
should have been brain dead
00:32:40.16\00:32:41.92
because he's Type 1 diabetic.
00:32:41.96\00:32:43.76
My friends went to Wildwood,
00:32:43.83\00:32:45.56
and I thought the place
was a little whacked out
00:32:45.59\00:32:47.93
because who works
for a little bit of money
00:32:47.96\00:32:50.17
to try to take care of people,
00:32:50.20\00:32:51.53
that wasn't
something I'm used to.
00:32:51.57\00:32:53.34
But when he got sick, I
was like, "Go to Wildwood."
00:32:53.37\00:32:55.77
You know, there's some people
00:32:55.80\00:32:57.14
who work for a
little bit of money
00:32:57.21\00:32:58.54
for those who are sick.
00:32:58.57\00:33:00.21
And I was 220 pounds
at the time and he said,
00:33:00.28\00:33:03.48
"Well, if that's the
case and you're sickly,
00:33:03.55\00:33:05.81
why is it not working for you?"
00:33:05.85\00:33:08.48
Okay.
00:33:08.52\00:33:10.19
I think I told your mom that
one time we had a conversation,
00:33:10.22\00:33:12.55
that was the
biggest rebuke ever,
00:33:12.59\00:33:14.59
so me going there, I
learned about health there.
00:33:14.62\00:33:18.16
And they kept
saying the diverticulitis
00:33:18.19\00:33:20.23
that I had is incurable.
00:33:20.30\00:33:21.93
They said the
fibroids will never go away,
00:33:21.96\00:33:24.27
but I've left atheism
to become a Christian.
00:33:24.30\00:33:27.04
So I didn't see why...
00:33:27.07\00:33:29.94
If God can do that in healing
all these people in the Bible
00:33:30.01\00:33:33.71
and all the
testimonies you all preach,
00:33:33.78\00:33:35.31
why can't He heal me?
00:33:35.34\00:33:37.15
And I follow the regiment
00:33:37.18\00:33:38.58
that I was told there
at Wildwood and again,
00:33:38.61\00:33:42.38
I turned around,
the doctor was saying,
00:33:42.42\00:33:43.79
"No, you never
had diverticulitis."
00:33:43.82\00:33:45.15
I said, "Why is that?"
00:33:45.19\00:33:46.52
They said "Because we
can't find any diverticulums
00:33:46.55\00:33:49.02
in your intestines."
00:33:49.06\00:33:50.63
I said, "Where's my
machine that told me I had it."
00:33:50.66\00:33:52.86
And it was my machine
that told me I didn't.
00:33:52.89\00:33:55.10
Now same with the fibroids.
00:33:55.13\00:33:56.97
And so one of the things that
I learned just about health,
00:33:57.00\00:34:00.17
I'm passionate about it because
when my dad was passing away,
00:34:00.24\00:34:03.17
I lost 60 pounds.
00:34:03.20\00:34:05.14
But then when he passed
away, I learned about grief.
00:34:05.17\00:34:07.21
And that's what made me really
00:34:07.28\00:34:08.61
get more into mental health.
00:34:08.64\00:34:10.45
Because then you don't know
00:34:10.48\00:34:11.81
how much your thought
pattern affects your body,
00:34:11.85\00:34:14.02
then I gained all this weight.
00:34:14.05\00:34:15.62
And so I started to realize
00:34:15.65\00:34:17.59
how long it took
me to bounce back.
00:34:17.62\00:34:19.99
But you don't put
the two and two together,
00:34:20.06\00:34:21.49
what is a coping mechanism
00:34:21.52\00:34:23.63
that is really
keeping you from your goals?
00:34:23.66\00:34:25.69
And that's what
started to develop my passion
00:34:25.73\00:34:27.83
to do more of this,
00:34:27.86\00:34:29.20
because I've seen
in my personal life,
00:34:29.23\00:34:31.30
I know about health education,
00:34:31.33\00:34:33.23
I know about the
gospel, but even myself
00:34:33.27\00:34:36.00
when I was going
through something,
00:34:36.04\00:34:37.41
I didn't know how to apply
it, it was a struggle alone.
00:34:37.44\00:34:40.81
And sometimes
you need assistance.
00:34:40.88\00:34:43.28
I see the lifestyle
guests that we have that go home
00:34:43.35\00:34:46.51
and they are
struggling to keep up,
00:34:46.55\00:34:48.62
even though they were
sincere when they came
00:34:48.65\00:34:50.29
and they were
sincere when they left,
00:34:50.32\00:34:51.82
but habit kicks
in and it gets hard.
00:34:51.85\00:34:54.16
Yes.
00:34:54.19\00:34:55.52
And so after a
while, it's like no,
00:34:55.56\00:34:57.03
I can't have
someone else be like my dad,
00:34:57.06\00:34:59.53
trying to find some help.
00:34:59.56\00:35:01.16
I can't sit back and
keep having priorities saying,
00:35:01.20\00:35:03.60
I should have been taking
care of myself all this time.
00:35:03.67\00:35:06.00
And realize now we're
dealing five years later,
00:35:06.03\00:35:08.14
and I'm now getting back to say,
00:35:08.17\00:35:10.31
"I see what kept
me from my goals."
00:35:10.34\00:35:12.94
Now, I'm losing my weight now.
00:35:12.97\00:35:14.71
But people can see me and say,
"Raven, can you be so big baby,
00:35:14.74\00:35:18.01
you know.
00:35:18.05\00:35:19.38
But it's like, you know
what, I had to learn that grief,
00:35:19.41\00:35:22.85
depression, unforgiveness
really can cause a lot,
00:35:22.88\00:35:26.96
you know, and you don't know it,
00:35:26.99\00:35:28.32
so you don't know what
you're fighting against.
00:35:28.36\00:35:30.26
And so I have a
passion to teach people
00:35:30.33\00:35:32.16
you don't know the
weapons of the warfare.
00:35:32.19\00:35:35.10
And now you need to know it
00:35:35.13\00:35:36.53
and how do you
combat it with God?
00:35:36.56\00:35:38.80
That's what I
want to teach people.
00:35:38.83\00:35:40.17
So I had to go
through my own stuff.
00:35:40.24\00:35:41.67
Yeah.
00:35:41.70\00:35:43.04
And that is beautiful, I mean,
the combination of the two,
00:35:43.07\00:35:46.24
not just a health
message, but combining,
00:35:46.27\00:35:49.71
you know, good
health and wellness
00:35:49.74\00:35:52.15
with spirituality,
with Christ, with God.
00:35:52.18\00:35:56.18
That is beautiful.
00:35:56.22\00:35:57.59
You sound like you
have a powerful testimony.
00:35:57.62\00:36:00.29
And I kind of want to
touch on that a little bit.
00:36:00.36\00:36:02.99
So you went from
being atheist to Christian.
00:36:03.02\00:36:07.10
How long were you atheist for?
00:36:07.13\00:36:08.56
I've really, all my upbringing.
00:36:08.60\00:36:10.67
I dealt with some abuse in
the past and the person who,
00:36:10.70\00:36:13.77
one of the people who abused
me at one point prayed with me.
00:36:13.84\00:36:16.64
And so my understanding of God
00:36:16.71\00:36:19.04
what it means sexually abused
and so it took me a minute,
00:36:19.07\00:36:22.44
everyone in my family
eventually bounced back,
00:36:22.48\00:36:24.48
got into Christ
00:36:24.51\00:36:26.55
after certain periods of things
that happened in our lives.
00:36:26.58\00:36:29.55
But me myself, I
was not dealing with it.
00:36:29.58\00:36:32.09
And how do you go
around telling people
00:36:32.12\00:36:33.66
"Oh, because all
this stuff happened to me.
00:36:33.69\00:36:35.12
Whoo, whoo, whoo.
00:36:35.16\00:36:36.49
But in the end,
that abuse hindered me
00:36:36.52\00:36:38.86
from getting education.
00:36:38.89\00:36:40.30
I couldn't read
until the age of 20,
00:36:40.33\00:36:41.83
I had like a third
grade reading comprehension.
00:36:41.86\00:36:44.07
And so they just kept
pushing me through school.
00:36:44.10\00:36:46.50
And so from elementary,
00:36:46.53\00:36:48.10
I can't remember what
stage everything just shut down.
00:36:48.14\00:36:50.61
But from elementary up to
my second year of college,
00:36:50.64\00:36:52.77
I was in remedial classes.
00:36:52.81\00:36:54.64
And so reading
was difficult for me,
00:36:54.68\00:36:58.41
and so I just
would shut down and say,
00:36:58.45\00:37:00.32
"Well, I'm not good enough."
00:37:00.35\00:37:01.98
After you've been
abused in certain areas
00:37:02.02\00:37:03.89
and it wasn't just, it
wasn't from the family,
00:37:03.92\00:37:06.42
it was people but
you don't say anything.
00:37:06.45\00:37:08.92
That's some of
the downsides about...
00:37:08.96\00:37:11.06
Sometimes our black communities,
00:37:11.09\00:37:12.66
we don't speak
about what goes on.
00:37:12.69\00:37:15.66
I could have just
stepped up and say,
00:37:15.70\00:37:17.07
"Hey, somebody help me."
00:37:17.10\00:37:18.43
And the times that
I did in work areas
00:37:18.47\00:37:20.44
where I say, "Hey,
somebody did something to me,"
00:37:20.47\00:37:22.07
nothing ever
happened so it settled in
00:37:22.10\00:37:24.44
that you're not good enough,
nothing would ever happen.
00:37:24.47\00:37:27.01
You might well just be quiet.
00:37:27.08\00:37:29.71
And so for
someone else, they said,
00:37:29.74\00:37:32.21
"They could get through that."
00:37:32.25\00:37:33.62
Me, it took me a long time.
00:37:33.65\00:37:36.18
And I settled in myself.
00:37:36.22\00:37:37.89
I was never good enough,
00:37:37.92\00:37:39.25
which is one of the
problems of starting the agency.
00:37:39.29\00:37:41.72
Because I had
this vision way back,
00:37:41.76\00:37:44.66
you know, when God gave me this,
00:37:44.69\00:37:46.80
and then we got into school,
and then I was like on fire.
00:37:46.83\00:37:50.27
But then when people leave,
00:37:50.30\00:37:52.57
I said, "Oh, I can't do nothing.
00:37:52.60\00:37:54.14
I need to stay at Wildwood.
00:37:54.17\00:37:55.60
I'll be the seminar
director, I'll just do this,
00:37:55.64\00:37:57.11
I can't do anything,
I can't be a leader."
00:37:57.14\00:37:59.07
And that was me
but people kept saying
00:37:59.11\00:38:00.78
"No, Raven, you can
do it, you can do it."
00:38:00.81\00:38:02.28
I'm like, "No, no,
no, I'm too stupid.
00:38:02.31\00:38:03.95
I can't read. I can't focus."
00:38:03.98\00:38:06.28
And so by 2012 someone says,
00:38:06.31\00:38:08.98
"Hey, Raven, why
don't you start an agency?"
00:38:09.02\00:38:10.59
Because they knew
I had this passion
00:38:10.62\00:38:12.62
to help medical missionaries
00:38:12.65\00:38:13.99
who would lead
these institutions
00:38:14.06\00:38:15.39
and get out.
00:38:15.42\00:38:16.76
But I said, "No, no, no,
I'm not smart enough for that."
00:38:16.83\00:38:18.33
So I wrote up the blueprint,
00:38:18.36\00:38:20.03
gave it to
various people and say,
00:38:20.10\00:38:21.66
"You all should do it."
00:38:21.70\00:38:23.57
And they were like, "No,
Raven, you should do it."
00:38:23.60\00:38:24.93
I said, "No, no, no."
00:38:24.97\00:38:26.30
Because for Raven,
I'm not smart enough,
00:38:26.33\00:38:28.50
I'm only good for sex,
00:38:28.54\00:38:29.87
I'm only good for nothing,
I'm not good for anything.
00:38:29.90\00:38:32.41
You don't say it
00:38:32.44\00:38:33.78
but you say to yourself, okay.
00:38:33.81\00:38:36.21
And then by 2013,
00:38:36.24\00:38:37.58
someone said the
same thing again.
00:38:37.65\00:38:38.98
"Hey, why don't
you start an agency?
00:38:39.01\00:38:40.52
Why won't you do it?"
00:38:40.55\00:38:41.88
You know, and mind,
those were verbatim words,
00:38:41.92\00:38:44.85
then I found out my
dad was dying in 2014.
00:38:44.89\00:38:48.72
And I said, "Well,
I'm leaving Wildwood.
00:38:48.76\00:38:50.13
I'm gonna go home
and take care of my dad.
00:38:50.16\00:38:51.49
I need to find some work to do."
00:38:51.53\00:38:53.06
My friend said, "Why
don't you call this lady."
00:38:53.09\00:38:55.56
This lady should be able
to give you some guidance,
00:38:55.60\00:38:57.37
you know, and so she
wouldn't call me back
00:38:57.40\00:38:59.00
for like a week or two.
00:38:59.03\00:39:00.37
And then she
said, "You know, Raven,"
00:39:00.44\00:39:02.27
I was really praying about
what God wanted me to tell you.
00:39:02.30\00:39:05.87
He told me you should be a
life coach or a wellness coach
00:39:05.91\00:39:09.41
and start an agency.
00:39:09.44\00:39:11.45
I said, "Let me
ask you something?
00:39:11.48\00:39:12.81
Do you know these two people?"
00:39:12.85\00:39:14.22
And she was like, "No."
00:39:14.25\00:39:15.58
I say "You mean to tell me
00:39:15.62\00:39:16.95
God told you with verbatim words
00:39:16.99\00:39:18.55
that I should be, I
should start an agency."
00:39:18.59\00:39:21.06
And at the time, I was finishing
00:39:21.09\00:39:23.19
a life and
wellness coaching program
00:39:23.22\00:39:25.99
that Thomas Jackson
at MEET ministries...
00:39:26.03\00:39:28.46
Yeah, Dr. Jackson, yeah.
00:39:28.50\00:39:30.00
He believed in work.
00:39:30.07\00:39:31.40
I told him about the agency,
00:39:31.43\00:39:32.80
sometime I tell
everyone else to do it.
00:39:32.83\00:39:34.70
Okay, and he then,
"No, no, you need to do it."
00:39:34.74\00:39:37.51
I need to empower you.
00:39:37.54\00:39:38.87
So I got even that
from him, empowerment.
00:39:38.91\00:39:42.11
I'm like, "No
guys, I don't get it.
00:39:42.14\00:39:43.88
Something's wrong with me."
00:39:43.95\00:39:45.95
And I wouldn't say that. Okay.
00:39:45.98\00:39:47.75
I just showed it in anger
00:39:47.78\00:39:49.12
or I may showed it
in a many other ways
00:39:49.15\00:39:51.42
but I had a hard time
saying, "I feel I'm messed up.
00:39:51.45\00:39:55.02
And I'm no good."
00:39:55.06\00:39:56.39
So you
internalized a lot of the things
00:39:56.42\00:39:58.26
that you struggled
with over the years
00:39:58.29\00:40:00.96
and you didn't verbalize it?
00:40:01.00\00:40:02.60
No, not really. Not really.
00:40:02.63\00:40:04.33
Even when I did, in the ways
00:40:04.37\00:40:06.20
that I thought
I was being clear,
00:40:06.23\00:40:07.80
it seemed to fall on deaf ears.
00:40:07.84\00:40:10.01
So I've gone and made me
trivialize it after a while.
00:40:10.04\00:40:13.71
But when my dad died,
oh, that shifted everything.
00:40:13.78\00:40:17.55
At that point I stopped caring.
00:40:17.58\00:40:19.55
But more so again
even more about myself.
00:40:19.58\00:40:23.05
But then I had this
other internal drive within me
00:40:23.08\00:40:25.72
to not let people
be like my father.
00:40:25.75\00:40:29.39
And so I have to admit,
00:40:29.42\00:40:31.16
that the
bumbling through the years
00:40:31.19\00:40:33.60
with this agency has saved me.
00:40:33.63\00:40:36.60
It's given me purpose.
00:40:36.67\00:40:39.13
And it has taught me that
00:40:39.17\00:40:41.10
my brokenness is
not really brokenness,
00:40:41.14\00:40:43.91
it was personally for myself,
00:40:43.94\00:40:46.14
Satan's way of trying to stop me
00:40:46.17\00:40:47.78
from doing God's calling.
00:40:47.81\00:40:49.14
Absolutely, that He
placed on your life.
00:40:49.18\00:40:51.91
And that's you're trying
to give to everybody else.
00:40:51.95\00:40:54.25
"Here take, you know,
00:40:54.32\00:40:55.65
take this
blueprint and run with it."
00:40:55.68\00:40:57.02
Right, exactly.
00:40:57.05\00:40:58.39
Take this
blueprint and run with it,
00:40:58.42\00:40:59.75
how God called
you to start that.
00:40:59.79\00:41:01.12
Exactly. Exactly. Yeah.
00:41:01.16\00:41:02.49
And I had to learn that
your vision is your vision.
00:41:02.52\00:41:04.79
And I had a lot of
discouraging people
00:41:04.83\00:41:06.49
even who started businesses,
00:41:06.53\00:41:08.36
I've had people discourage
me like "No, no, no, Raven,
00:41:08.40\00:41:10.50
it'll be too hard."
00:41:10.57\00:41:11.90
I'm like, "Whoa,
of course, it's hard
00:41:11.93\00:41:13.44
but you kept your business.
00:41:13.47\00:41:15.20
And you're still
running your business."
00:41:15.24\00:41:17.01
And so I had to
learn that in the end,
00:41:17.04\00:41:20.48
after now my father passed,
00:41:20.51\00:41:22.84
and God kept me
somehow, He just kept me,
00:41:22.88\00:41:25.78
He kept me focused,
00:41:25.81\00:41:27.55
looking at others and
not focusing on myself,
00:41:27.62\00:41:30.39
but focusing on others.
00:41:30.42\00:41:31.99
I started to say in the
end, "I'm not giving up."
00:41:32.02\00:41:34.42
And even when I
wanted to give up,
00:41:34.46\00:41:35.79
then He'll send more people
say, "Raven, don't give up."
00:41:35.82\00:41:38.16
And so I started
getting encouragement
00:41:38.19\00:41:39.66
out of the woodwork,
00:41:39.69\00:41:41.03
out the woodwork along
with the discouragement,
00:41:41.06\00:41:43.50
but I started to
not look at them anymore
00:41:43.57\00:41:45.20
and look at the encouragement.
00:41:45.23\00:41:46.57
And it has been
keeping me going.
00:41:46.60\00:41:47.94
And so now I sit back and say,
00:41:47.97\00:41:49.30
"Raven, you can't look
at the low self-esteem,
00:41:49.34\00:41:51.11
rebuke that in
the name of Jesus."
00:41:51.14\00:41:52.47
You know, don't look at...
00:41:52.51\00:41:53.88
Oh, I couldn't read,
00:41:53.91\00:41:55.24
but you
couldn't but you can now.
00:41:55.28\00:41:56.61
So stop speaking
those negative words.
00:41:56.64\00:41:58.81
And that's the thing we
try to teach our guests,
00:41:58.85\00:42:00.85
where's the life, life
and death is in a tongue.
00:42:00.92\00:42:03.05
Find out your
coping mechanism. Yeah.
00:42:03.08\00:42:04.89
Find out your,
your kryptonite. Yeah.
00:42:04.92\00:42:06.79
You know, what is
really holding you back?
00:42:06.86\00:42:08.96
Because we're built
to handle adversity,
00:42:08.99\00:42:11.26
we're built to be strong
00:42:11.29\00:42:13.06
because we were
built from a strong God.
00:42:13.09\00:42:15.53
You know, so a lot of our
past redefined that experience
00:42:15.56\00:42:19.13
and realize that
only strengthen us
00:42:19.17\00:42:20.54
to make us
stronger to help others.
00:42:20.57\00:42:22.74
So that's my belief system
00:42:22.77\00:42:24.11
and that's kind
of the foundation
00:42:24.14\00:42:25.47
of where this agency came in.
00:42:25.51\00:42:26.88
And that is deep and, you know,
00:42:26.91\00:42:28.81
a lot of times it seems like
people project their own fears
00:42:28.84\00:42:32.35
and doubts on to you, you know,
00:42:32.38\00:42:34.75
because I can't do something
00:42:34.78\00:42:36.55
or I feel like I
can't do something
00:42:36.58\00:42:38.15
then that means
you can't do it either.
00:42:38.19\00:42:40.06
No, that's not true, you know.
00:42:40.09\00:42:42.99
So, yeah, I'm glad
that you pressed forward.
00:42:43.02\00:42:46.03
I'm glad that God
got a hold of your life.
00:42:46.06\00:42:48.10
Thank you.
00:42:48.13\00:42:49.46
And pulled you
out of that situation
00:42:49.50\00:42:51.13
and you're answering the calling
00:42:51.17\00:42:53.34
that He's placed on your life.
00:42:53.37\00:42:54.70
Thank you. You're welcome.
00:42:54.74\00:42:56.07
Your passion really
comes across for wellness
00:42:56.10\00:42:59.01
and health and the whole thing.
00:42:59.04\00:43:02.14
What is wellness to you?
00:43:02.18\00:43:04.05
Wellness is really
complete wholeness,
00:43:04.08\00:43:07.82
to be able to reach a
person mentally, spiritually,
00:43:07.85\00:43:10.69
physically and emotionally.
00:43:10.72\00:43:13.02
I want you to be in a mindset
00:43:13.05\00:43:15.59
of seeing life in yourself
from God's point of view,
00:43:15.62\00:43:17.83
that's wellness for me.
00:43:17.86\00:43:20.40
And I want to make everyone
as much as possible well.
00:43:20.43\00:43:23.67
Yes. Absolutely, absolutely.
00:43:23.70\00:43:27.14
What are your
plans for the future?
00:43:27.17\00:43:29.04
My desire is to try to connect
with more health institutions.
00:43:29.07\00:43:35.04
So we can do programs
like in the YMCA, if possible,
00:43:35.08\00:43:38.91
or work with
hospitals, if possible,
00:43:38.95\00:43:41.25
to see if we can
help with the uninsured.
00:43:41.28\00:43:43.69
To have more people
connected through this,
00:43:43.72\00:43:47.76
I want to have a conference,
00:43:47.79\00:43:49.39
you know, to try to
connect medical missionaries
00:43:49.42\00:43:52.09
with those who want
to utilize their skills
00:43:52.13\00:43:54.36
to reach souls for Christ.
00:43:54.40\00:43:55.73
I would like to
create a conference
00:43:55.76\00:43:57.57
to bring us together
00:43:57.60\00:43:58.93
and see what the
support look like to them.
00:43:58.97\00:44:00.74
You know, what are
their needs, you know.
00:44:00.77\00:44:03.30
The next thing is
to create this fund
00:44:03.34\00:44:05.61
for uninsured
people so that's the desire
00:44:05.64\00:44:07.84
I would like to
do as well as have
00:44:07.88\00:44:09.51
on job training.
00:44:09.54\00:44:10.95
And really make a
very professional,
00:44:10.98\00:44:12.85
oh, Lord, you
know, on job training
00:44:12.88\00:44:14.48
instead of just me
saying, "Hey, God, guys do this,
00:44:14.52\00:44:16.35
you know.
00:44:16.38\00:44:17.72
But really make a serious
on job training and yeah,
00:44:17.75\00:44:21.36
and just work with more places.
00:44:21.39\00:44:23.06
So we can just band
together to finish this work.
00:44:23.09\00:44:27.76
What advice do you
have for maybe someone
00:44:27.80\00:44:29.66
that feels like they
might be called to this work?
00:44:29.70\00:44:33.74
But they may be struggling
with some of the insecurities
00:44:33.77\00:44:36.34
or some of the
things that you struggled
00:44:36.37\00:44:37.91
within the past?
00:44:37.94\00:44:39.27
Well, come on down,
we're in this together.
00:44:39.31\00:44:41.74
And that's the
beauty about this agency,
00:44:41.78\00:44:44.38
we're a team of people who says,
00:44:44.41\00:44:46.01
"Come, we're in this together."
00:44:46.05\00:44:47.45
One of the things I
love about fraternities
00:44:47.52\00:44:49.58
and sororities is that
no matter where you go,
00:44:49.62\00:44:51.82
you're always in the family.
00:44:51.85\00:44:53.66
You need a job, you
need a place to stay,
00:44:53.69\00:44:55.59
they're always there to help,
why can't we be the same way.
00:44:55.62\00:44:58.66
And so I want to
create us to be that way,
00:44:58.69\00:45:00.50
so if you say, "Hey, I
want to learn something."
00:45:00.53\00:45:03.16
Come on, call,
let's talk, let's dialogue
00:45:03.20\00:45:06.17
and see what can we do
00:45:06.20\00:45:07.54
to get you a part of
this work in this capacity.
00:45:07.57\00:45:11.04
That's very
good. That's very good.
00:45:11.07\00:45:14.11
What lessons have you learned
00:45:14.18\00:45:16.38
through the
journey in terms of like,
00:45:16.41\00:45:18.58
you know, starting the ministry
and starting the organization,
00:45:18.61\00:45:21.32
like what
lessons have you learned
00:45:21.35\00:45:22.78
during that startup process?
00:45:22.82\00:45:24.62
That don't look
at the end product
00:45:24.65\00:45:27.99
of someone else's business.
00:45:28.02\00:45:29.86
Like, a lot of
times, people will say,
00:45:29.89\00:45:32.49
"Well, Raven, so how
many clients have you gotten?"
00:45:32.53\00:45:34.40
And I say, "Well, at this point,
00:45:34.43\00:45:35.76
in the beginning,
it was like five."
00:45:35.80\00:45:37.47
"Only five" like, five is,
00:45:37.50\00:45:41.54
I mean, tell the
person who's that one that
00:45:41.57\00:45:44.41
"Hey, my
diabetes has gone away."
00:45:44.44\00:45:45.94
They'll say "Praise God,
I'm one of the five" you know.
00:45:45.97\00:45:49.84
I started to realize
that there are people
00:45:49.88\00:45:53.15
who want to see you
successful like Wildwood,
00:45:53.18\00:45:56.89
75 years off the jump.
00:45:56.92\00:45:58.82
But then ourselves,
want to see ourselves
00:45:58.85\00:46:00.96
successful like
Wildwood 75 years off the jump.
00:46:00.99\00:46:03.83
And He's like, "No,
no, no, it takes time,
00:46:03.86\00:46:05.56
you know, the beginning part
is where a lot of times people
00:46:05.59\00:46:08.26
you don't see what
is to do to begin this.
00:46:08.30\00:46:10.97
I will say, for myself,
00:46:11.00\00:46:13.23
I had to learn how
my ideals of myself
00:46:13.27\00:46:18.21
hindered the
progression of my business.
00:46:18.24\00:46:21.88
I have to know
when I'm being too lazy,
00:46:21.91\00:46:24.15
that when I'm
staying up too late,
00:46:24.18\00:46:26.31
when I don't want to
call myself a morning person,
00:46:26.35\00:46:27.98
how that affects my business.
00:46:28.02\00:46:30.62
That's difficult, so for me,
00:46:30.69\00:46:33.29
some of the things
I learned in beginning
00:46:33.36\00:46:34.69
is that perseverance
if it's not a part of you,
00:46:34.72\00:46:36.86
I need to take
that to Jesus and say,
00:46:36.93\00:46:38.26
"That's not a part of me."
00:46:38.29\00:46:39.63
You know, I feel like
giving up a lot of times,
00:46:39.66\00:46:41.46
because, in essence,
00:46:41.50\00:46:43.90
if it's not for me sometimes,
00:46:43.97\00:46:46.87
I'm like, "Oh, no, I'm done."
00:46:46.94\00:46:48.54
It's like, "Oh, no, no, no,
00:46:48.57\00:46:49.90
don't follow this sinful
nature that wants to give up."
00:46:49.94\00:46:52.14
Because Romans 8:6-7, says
00:46:52.17\00:46:53.91
that the carnal mind has enmity,
00:46:53.98\00:46:55.58
that's hatred towards God,
00:46:55.61\00:46:57.15
is not subject to as law
and neither by and can't be,
00:46:57.18\00:46:58.98
this is of spiritual warfare.
00:46:59.01\00:47:00.52
Yes.
00:47:00.55\00:47:01.88
So yes, I can say all
the godliness right now
00:47:01.92\00:47:04.29
and say, "Oh, I
care for people."
00:47:04.32\00:47:06.25
But in essence, my
sinful nature sometimes
00:47:06.29\00:47:08.69
gets really lazy,
00:47:08.72\00:47:10.06
and don't feel like doing
anything and I don't care.
00:47:10.13\00:47:12.16
And it's like,
well, it's not about us,
00:47:12.19\00:47:14.33
it's about what
Christ is needing to do.
00:47:14.36\00:47:15.70
So let's go back
to Christ and say,
00:47:15.73\00:47:17.17
"Lord, you got
to help me today."
00:47:17.20\00:47:18.63
And so I've learned
to not look at tomorrow.
00:47:18.67\00:47:21.30
I've learned moment by moment.
00:47:21.34\00:47:23.71
I need your help, Lord.
00:47:23.74\00:47:25.07
My sinful nature is keeping
me from wanting to eat right.
00:47:25.11\00:47:28.34
My sinful nature is
keeping me from wanting to do
00:47:28.38\00:47:30.45
what's right for the business.
00:47:30.48\00:47:31.85
Contact the person to check in.
00:47:31.88\00:47:34.12
I had to learn who I am
00:47:34.15\00:47:36.05
and how I can
mess up the business.
00:47:36.08\00:47:38.12
You know what I'm saying?
00:47:38.15\00:47:39.49
Not a lack of clients
or not a lack of agents,
00:47:39.52\00:47:41.66
but myself, you know, it
starts from leadership down.
00:47:41.69\00:47:45.33
And so I love the
fact that you said
00:47:45.36\00:47:47.40
it's a day by day thing,
00:47:47.43\00:47:49.36
you know, we have to
surrender day by day.
00:47:49.40\00:47:51.63
We're constantly battling self
00:47:51.67\00:47:53.74
so I have to
surrender day by day.
00:47:53.77\00:47:55.87
You know, we've
talked about Project 144,
00:47:55.90\00:47:58.04
and all that stuff.
00:47:58.07\00:47:59.41
We want to know how people
can find more information,
00:47:59.44\00:48:02.88
how they can get
in touch with you?
00:48:02.91\00:48:04.48
What's your website? Okay.
00:48:04.51\00:48:05.85
So it's missionaryagency.com
00:48:05.88\00:48:08.15
Okay. Yeah.
00:48:08.18\00:48:09.68
And you can call on our
business line at 423-521-5058.
00:48:09.72\00:48:15.06

Or you can even...

What about email?

Okay. Nice. Yeah.
00:48:24.67\00:48:26.30
So there's plenty
of ways to reach you.
00:48:26.33\00:48:27.90
There's plenty of ways. Okay.
00:48:27.94\00:48:29.84
To connect with us.
Absolutely, absolutely.
00:48:29.87\00:48:32.61
And so what are
some of your needs?
00:48:32.64\00:48:35.14
Our needs mainly,
first of all, prayer.
00:48:35.18\00:48:39.85
We need a lot of prayer.
00:48:39.88\00:48:41.88
We need again, I would
like to create that funding,
00:48:41.92\00:48:45.32
you know, because
00:48:45.35\00:48:47.29
there are so many people
00:48:47.36\00:48:48.72
who cannot pay for our services.
00:48:48.76\00:48:51.36
And I do have
agents that has bills that,
00:48:51.39\00:48:53.60
you know, need to
live, and so it's difficult.
00:48:53.63\00:48:57.07
The next thing
honestly, to share,
00:48:57.10\00:48:59.20
get our name
out there, you know,
00:48:59.23\00:49:01.67
and we need skillful workers.
00:49:01.70\00:49:04.01
Need skillful workers to know
that whatever your skill is,
00:49:04.04\00:49:07.91
come, we can work with you.
00:49:07.94\00:49:09.81
But if you truly
know natural remedies,
00:49:09.84\00:49:12.01
hydrotherapy treatments,
disease and treatment,
00:49:12.05\00:49:14.92
we need that.
00:49:14.95\00:49:16.28
Okay. Good, good.
00:49:16.32\00:49:18.42
We have one more
video that we want to go to.
00:49:18.45\00:49:20.59
We want to put that up.
00:49:20.66\00:49:21.99
Let's go to
that video right now.
00:49:22.02\00:49:24.03
My time here is almost up.
00:49:32.43\00:49:35.87
Good evening.
Hello, my name is Michael.
00:49:35.90\00:49:37.84
Are you Alex?
00:49:37.87\00:49:39.21
How is my arm?
00:49:39.24\00:49:41.21
No, you won't be using your arm.
00:49:41.24\00:49:45.65
Soon, I can call
myself a health evangelist.
00:49:45.68\00:49:49.22
But where should I go?
00:49:59.76\00:50:02.26
Where is He sending me?
00:50:02.30\00:50:04.50
Let's make your medical
missionary dream come true.

00:50:24.65\00:50:25.99
from your health
evangelism program.

Let's finish the work together.
00:50:28.22\00:50:29.79
Wow! I love that.
00:50:37.80\00:50:39.37
It says let's
finish the work together.
00:50:39.40\00:50:42.44
It's not a one man thing,
it's not a one woman thing.
00:50:42.47\00:50:45.67
In this together. Yes.
00:50:45.71\00:50:47.64
In it together. Absolutely.
00:50:47.68\00:50:50.15
So when a lot of times people
see this video, they'll say,
00:50:50.18\00:50:52.71
"Oh, well, it's just for those
00:50:52.75\00:50:54.12
leaving medical
missionary schools.
00:50:54.15\00:50:55.78
So I need to create another one.
00:50:55.82\00:50:57.39
So people are "No no, it's open.
00:50:57.42\00:51:00.26
It's open, it's
just, it definitely is,
00:51:00.29\00:51:02.46
that promo is
definitely for those
00:51:02.49\00:51:04.16
who are in
their schools already.
00:51:04.23\00:51:05.56
So they'll know
there's a placement
00:51:05.59\00:51:06.93
for you when you get out.
00:51:06.96\00:51:08.30
Don't be
discouraged and wondering,
00:51:08.33\00:51:09.66
"What are you going to do?"
00:51:09.70\00:51:11.03
We can help you.
00:51:11.07\00:51:12.40
But definitely
whether you're a CNA or nurse,
00:51:12.43\00:51:14.07
you want to learn
more about natural remedies
00:51:14.14\00:51:16.07
and apply it to, you know,
00:51:16.10\00:51:17.71
someone whether it's
again over the phone, online,
00:51:17.74\00:51:21.54
or going to their
homes, we can help you.
00:51:21.58\00:51:23.85
Wow.
00:51:23.88\00:51:25.21
So you have the over
the phone consultation?
00:51:25.25\00:51:26.58
Yes. Yes. You have doctors.
00:51:26.61\00:51:28.65
Yes, and that's
something I more do myself.
00:51:28.68\00:51:32.32
And then we have
everyone else go out.
00:51:32.35\00:51:34.06
We have those who want
to call but I tell you this,
00:51:34.09\00:51:37.16
many people, they
want to see you in person.
00:51:37.23\00:51:38.76
Yes.
00:51:38.79\00:51:40.13
They'll pay for
you to come out here
00:51:40.20\00:51:41.53
and be in their homes.
00:51:41.56\00:51:42.90
So I've been trying to
do the phone call thing
00:51:42.93\00:51:44.70
because of
course I can't go out.
00:51:44.73\00:51:46.74
But no, people
want you in their homes.
00:51:46.77\00:51:49.14
Face to face connection.
They really like that.
00:51:49.17\00:51:50.91
Absolutely. They
really like that.
00:51:50.94\00:51:52.67
So and you have all
kinds of customizable plans.
00:51:52.71\00:51:55.61
You have customizable
meal plans and stuff too?
00:51:55.64\00:51:57.45
Yeah, yeah.
00:51:57.48\00:51:58.81
So we're again, we're
trying to work with you,
00:51:58.85\00:52:01.45
what you can and cannot eat
00:52:01.48\00:52:02.85
and that's why we have
the consultation forum.
00:52:02.88\00:52:04.99
So we get truly
in-depth about your life
