00:00:01.96\00:00:07.94

00:00:07.97\00:00:12.84
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.87\00:00:19.05

00:00:19.08\00:00:24.19
Lord, let my words
00:00:24.22\00:00:30.43
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:30.46\00:00:34.93
I want to spend my life
00:00:34.96\00:00:40.64
Mending broken people
00:00:40.67\00:00:46.14
I want to spend my life

Hello and welcome to
another 3ABN Today program.
00:01:10.37\00:01:13.27
My name is Jill Morikone
00:01:13.34\00:01:14.67
and we're so glad
that you have taken time
00:01:14.70\00:01:16.84
from your day to join us.
00:01:16.91\00:01:18.44
And this program, I
am super excited about
00:01:18.47\00:01:22.28
because we're featuring people
00:01:22.31\00:01:23.85
who are fresh
from the mission field.
00:01:23.88\00:01:26.82
They have just returned
00:01:26.85\00:01:28.25
from some
incredible experiences overseas
00:01:28.28\00:01:32.62
dealing with evangelism
and the exciting thing
00:01:32.65\00:01:35.79
is this particular ministry,
00:01:35.82\00:01:37.69
their whole
heartthrob is evangelism.
00:01:37.73\00:01:39.89
Everything that they do
00:01:39.93\00:01:41.96
is centered on reaching the lost
00:01:42.00\00:01:44.43
not just reaching the
lost in their community,
00:01:44.47\00:01:46.50
but globally reaching out.
00:01:46.53\00:01:48.80
I'm speaking of
Adventist World Radio,
00:01:48.84\00:01:51.21
AWR and we're going to
feature the stories, videos,
00:01:51.24\00:01:56.31
and testimonies of change lives.
00:01:56.34\00:01:58.45
So we are so excited that
they have joined us here today.
00:01:58.48\00:02:01.78
And 3ABN is always privileged
00:02:01.82\00:02:03.59
to partner with AWR
00:02:03.62\00:02:05.69
and Elder Duane
McKey, president of AWR.
00:02:05.72\00:02:08.36
Jill, thank you.
00:02:08.39\00:02:09.72
It's a privilege
to have you here.
00:02:09.76\00:02:11.09
Great to be here
and thank you 3ABN
00:02:11.13\00:02:12.46
and thank you
for letting us come
00:02:12.49\00:02:13.83
and partnering with you.
00:02:13.90\00:02:15.23
This is an exciting
time for us to share
00:02:15.26\00:02:16.90
what God is
doing around the world.
00:02:16.97\00:02:18.47
Amen. Absolutely.
00:02:18.50\00:02:20.14
Now I know you have
served in many capacities
00:02:20.17\00:02:22.50
in the church for several years.
00:02:22.54\00:02:24.11
How long have you been at AWR?
00:02:24.14\00:02:25.97
Two and half years,
00:02:26.01\00:02:27.38
and this is the most
exciting experience of my life.
00:02:27.41\00:02:29.08
Amen.
00:02:29.11\00:02:30.48
Thrilling things are
happening. We just...
00:02:30.55\00:02:32.91
Anyway, you'll
see in a few minutes.
00:02:32.95\00:02:34.32
Amen. Absolutely.
00:02:34.35\00:02:35.88
AWR is about
broadcasting around the world.
00:02:35.92\00:02:37.99
Every media platform
that even the cell phone,
00:02:38.02\00:02:40.86
radio, shortwave,
everything that we...
00:02:40.89\00:02:43.83
Any way that we can broadcast.
00:02:43.86\00:02:45.43
Cell phone we have
several hundred thousand people
00:02:45.46\00:02:47.40
every week connecting with us
00:02:47.43\00:02:49.13
through Bible
studies on the cell phone.
00:02:49.16\00:02:50.50
Amen.
00:02:50.57\00:02:51.90
What an incredible a ministry!
00:02:51.93\00:02:53.84
Oh, it is.
00:02:53.87\00:02:55.20
You know, evangelistic arm,
00:02:55.24\00:02:56.57
I mean, of the
church, it's amazing.
00:02:56.60\00:02:57.94
And all of our staff are
so excited about evangelism.
00:02:57.97\00:02:59.77
Most of them
00:02:59.81\00:03:01.14
have preached evangelistic
meetings themselves.
00:03:01.18\00:03:02.74
That's right. That's wonderful.
00:03:02.78\00:03:04.31
Now AWR is 360, it's kind of,
00:03:04.35\00:03:07.35
I don't know if
you call that umbrella,
00:03:07.42\00:03:08.82
but it merges
AWR with evangelism,
00:03:08.85\00:03:12.12
Total Member Involvement.
00:03:12.15\00:03:13.49
Right, Total Member Involvement.
00:03:13.56\00:03:14.89
Now you're also the assistant
00:03:14.92\00:03:16.26
to the president
Elder Ted Wilson,
00:03:16.29\00:03:17.86
the General Conference President
00:03:17.89\00:03:19.26
for Total Member Involvement.
00:03:19.29\00:03:20.63
Yes, yes.
00:03:20.70\00:03:22.03
And tell us about
how that merger happened
00:03:22.06\00:03:23.40
with AWR and TMI
to create AWR360°.
00:03:23.43\00:03:26.07
Some people call it TMI, right?
00:03:26.10\00:03:28.07
And some people say,
I know what that means
00:03:28.10\00:03:29.57
and I always say
sure, I know what TMI means,
00:03:29.60\00:03:31.14
to many people in Indianapolis.
00:03:31.17\00:03:35.01
But it's Total
Member involvement
00:03:35.04\00:03:36.44
and this is why it
makes it very clear
00:03:36.48\00:03:37.98
the work will not be finished
until pastors and lay people
00:03:38.01\00:03:42.05
join hands
together and work together.
00:03:42.08\00:03:43.92
So that's what we're about.
00:03:43.99\00:03:45.32
And Elder Wilson
is just fantastic.
00:03:45.35\00:03:48.12
He's the only
General Conference President
00:03:48.16\00:03:49.52
who takes time every year
00:03:49.56\00:03:52.03
out of his
extremely busy schedule,
00:03:52.06\00:03:54.03
the most, the busiest of anyone,
00:03:54.10\00:03:56.23
and he preaches
for two solid weeks
00:03:56.26\00:03:58.73
a series of
evangelistic TMI meetings.
00:03:58.77\00:04:01.97
So we call it
AWR360° broadcast to baptism.
00:04:02.00\00:04:05.81
Amen. Amen. I love that.
00:04:05.84\00:04:07.18
And we support Elder Ted Wilson
00:04:07.21\00:04:09.11
and his wife Nancy
and their leadership
00:04:09.14\00:04:11.11
at the General
Conference here at 3ABN
00:04:11.15\00:04:12.98
and we're so grateful
for his heart for evangelism.
00:04:13.01\00:04:16.48
It's clear and it
comes through definitely.
00:04:16.52\00:04:19.32
Sitting next to
you is Cami Oetman,
00:04:19.35\00:04:21.86
who's the Vice President
for Advancement with AWR
00:04:21.89\00:04:25.56
and we're delighted
to have you back again
00:04:25.59\00:04:28.06
here at 3ABN, Cami.
00:04:28.10\00:04:29.53
Thank you for having us, Jill.
00:04:29.56\00:04:30.90
We love to come here and share
00:04:30.97\00:04:33.10
about what God's
doing around the world.
00:04:33.13\00:04:34.94
And it's just...
00:04:34.97\00:04:36.30
It's a real blessing to be here.
00:04:36.34\00:04:37.67
Thank you for
having us again. Amen.
00:04:37.71\00:04:39.14
So Vice
President for Advancement,
00:04:39.17\00:04:40.91
what does that mean?
What is your role entail?
00:04:40.98\00:04:42.98
Well, it's quite a few
things, but I definitely...
00:04:43.01\00:04:46.41
For advancement,
meaning to get the word out
00:04:46.45\00:04:48.92
and to capture all the stories
that come in around the world
00:04:48.95\00:04:52.19
from our radio broadcasters,
00:04:52.22\00:04:54.82
so that we can then
share them in publications,
00:04:54.86\00:04:57.33
but also a big part of my
job is to create the videos.
00:04:57.36\00:05:02.63
Have the videos created.
00:05:02.66\00:05:05.57
Wherever the stories are,
00:05:05.60\00:05:06.94
go to those countries
and really reenact them
00:05:06.97\00:05:09.37
or hopefully get
the actual character
00:05:09.40\00:05:11.34
to portray their
testimony on film.
00:05:11.37\00:05:14.08
So we can share that
not only with donors,
00:05:14.11\00:05:16.18
but use it as an
evangelistic tool as well
00:05:16.21\00:05:18.18
to show God's
power right now today.
00:05:18.21\00:05:20.72
Amen.
00:05:20.75\00:05:22.08
Nothing more powerful
than a personal testimony.
00:05:22.12\00:05:23.45
That's right.
00:05:23.49\00:05:24.82
And when people
can visually watch that
00:05:24.85\00:05:26.19
and engage with
that, that is powerful.
00:05:26.22\00:05:28.66
Amen.
00:05:28.69\00:05:30.03
Sitting next to you
with Pastor Kyle Allen,
00:05:30.06\00:05:31.39
who's Vice President for AWR.
00:05:31.43\00:05:33.13
And it is a
privilege to have you too.
00:05:33.16\00:05:35.63
You here as well,
Pastor Kyle, get my words out.
00:05:35.66\00:05:38.63
It's a privilege
to have you here too.
00:05:38.67\00:05:40.04
Thank you, Jill. Amen.
00:05:40.07\00:05:41.40
I love coming back to 3ABN
and it's always a blessing.
00:05:41.44\00:05:42.77
So thank you
for having me. Amen.
00:05:42.80\00:05:44.37
So what does your
role entail at AWR,
00:05:44.41\00:05:46.57
since we're talking about roles?
00:05:46.61\00:05:47.94
Yes, basically whatever
the president assigns me to do,
00:05:47.98\00:05:53.11
I salute and try to do my best.
00:05:53.15\00:05:55.08
And I know it's a blessing.
00:05:55.12\00:05:56.45
I'm traveling, I'm helping
00:05:56.48\00:05:58.72
with different
aspects of our office team
00:05:58.75\00:06:01.19
and just supporting
the evangelistic efforts
00:06:01.22\00:06:03.96
around the world.
00:06:04.03\00:06:05.36
Also involved with
the digital evangelism
00:06:05.39\00:06:06.90
in particular...
00:06:06.93\00:06:08.26
Our centers for
digital evangelism,
00:06:08.30\00:06:09.73
which is an exciting project
00:06:09.76\00:06:12.17
where we're
empowering young people
00:06:12.20\00:06:13.54
to be digital
evangelists around the world.
00:06:13.57\00:06:16.20
Amen. More on that later.
00:06:16.24\00:06:17.61
Okay.
00:06:17.64\00:06:18.97
We can share so many
stories about what God is doing.
00:06:19.01\00:06:22.18
Amen. Amen.
00:06:22.21\00:06:23.55
So you all just
returned from India.
00:06:23.58\00:06:25.91
So talk to us about India
00:06:25.95\00:06:28.45
and what took place
there and with evangelism.
00:06:28.48\00:06:31.05
I love curry and rice.
00:06:31.09\00:06:34.16
Me too. Hot and spicy.
00:06:34.19\00:06:35.52
So there was
some food there too,
00:06:35.56\00:06:36.93
not just evangelism.
00:06:36.96\00:06:38.29
For a vegetarian it's
a beautiful place to be.
00:06:38.33\00:06:40.53
It's just wonderful.
00:06:40.60\00:06:41.93
So the people are wonderful too.
00:06:41.96\00:06:43.57
There are so many
00:06:43.60\00:06:44.93
who are seeking
to know about Jesus.
00:06:44.97\00:06:46.30
That's right.
00:06:46.33\00:06:47.67
Very warm, friendly people.
00:06:47.70\00:06:49.04
It's only one
problem, Jill. It's very hot.
00:06:49.07\00:06:51.54
Not only the
weather, but the spicy food.
00:06:51.57\00:06:54.48
So you need to be
prepared if you go to India.
00:06:54.51\00:06:56.08
That's right.
00:06:56.11\00:06:57.45
Yes.
00:06:57.48\00:06:58.81
So we held evangelistic
series and we also broadcast.
00:06:58.85\00:07:03.12
We did the whole gamut really
as much as we possibly could.
00:07:03.15\00:07:05.72
Social media...
00:07:05.75\00:07:07.46
Medical.
00:07:07.49\00:07:08.82
And especially medical.
00:07:08.86\00:07:10.33
We want to share that with you.
00:07:10.36\00:07:11.69
It was incredible.
00:07:11.73\00:07:13.06
We've been working in
India for several months.
00:07:13.09\00:07:14.60
We've just really...
Well, we have a center there.
00:07:14.63\00:07:17.27
Actually, we
worked there for years.
00:07:17.30\00:07:18.80
When we focus in a lot of in...
00:07:18.83\00:07:22.90
A lot of special events,
medical and also evangelism.
00:07:22.94\00:07:26.68
We supplied, I think, Kyle,
00:07:26.71\00:07:28.21
we said about
1000 video projectors.
00:07:28.24\00:07:29.94
That's right. That's right.
00:07:29.98\00:07:31.71
We supplied
1000 video projectors
00:07:31.75\00:07:33.25
to young people
who actually went out
00:07:33.28\00:07:36.55
from Spicer Adventist University
00:07:36.58\00:07:38.85
and Flaiz College
and a few other places.
00:07:38.89\00:07:41.56
It's incredible what
these young adults did.
00:07:41.59\00:07:43.56
This was in advance of our teams
00:07:43.63\00:07:45.89
that just came back.
00:07:45.93\00:07:47.30
Okay.
00:07:47.33\00:07:48.66
We were just in
India about a month ago,
00:07:48.70\00:07:50.07
but these young adults went out
00:07:50.27\00:07:51.67
and they preached in
some very difficult places.
00:07:51.70\00:07:54.87
Some of you may have heard
00:07:54.90\00:07:56.24
that India is
actually very difficult
00:07:56.27\00:07:57.94
right now for Christianity.
00:07:57.97\00:08:00.51
The government has made
things challenging for that,
00:08:00.58\00:08:03.35
but our young people went
00:08:03.38\00:08:05.21
even in areas where it was
difficult for them to preach.
00:08:05.25\00:08:08.75
Can I share a quick story?
00:08:08.78\00:08:10.12
Please. Okay.
00:08:10.19\00:08:11.52
So we had a team
that was going to a city
00:08:11.55\00:08:14.46
and in this city there
was an Adventist Church
00:08:14.49\00:08:16.32
and they contacted
the church about coming.
00:08:16.36\00:08:19.13
The church members
were afraid though.
00:08:19.16\00:08:20.90
They said, "Don't come.
00:08:20.93\00:08:22.26
If you come, we're
not gonna talk to you
00:08:22.30\00:08:23.67
because we think the
government might shut us down
00:08:23.70\00:08:26.07
and they won't..."
00:08:26.10\00:08:27.44
So they wouldn't
talk to these young people
00:08:27.47\00:08:28.80
that wanted to come
and preach in their town,
00:08:28.84\00:08:31.17
but they went anyway.
00:08:31.21\00:08:33.58
The professor
from the college said,
00:08:33.61\00:08:35.34
"No, we're gonna go by faith."
00:08:35.38\00:08:36.95
They went to the town
00:08:36.98\00:08:38.55
and they were
looking for a place
00:08:38.58\00:08:39.91
to hold their meeting.
00:08:39.95\00:08:41.28
Guess where they
held their meeting?
00:08:41.32\00:08:42.95
Of all the
places, the Hindu temple.
00:08:42.98\00:08:46.12
The Hindu priest
invited them to come
00:08:46.15\00:08:48.22
and hold the
meeting at the temple.
00:08:48.26\00:08:49.82
That's amazing.
00:08:49.86\00:08:51.19
And so night after night,
00:08:51.23\00:08:52.56
these students are
preaching in the Hindu temple.
00:08:52.59\00:08:54.10
The Hindus are coming.
00:08:54.13\00:08:55.46
And then guess what?
00:08:55.50\00:08:56.83
The church members
00:08:56.87\00:08:58.20
that didn't
want to talk to them,
00:08:58.23\00:08:59.57
then they started coming.
00:08:59.60\00:09:00.94
They said, "Well,
they're in the temple.
00:09:00.97\00:09:02.34
There are people,
we're gonna show up."
00:09:02.37\00:09:03.71
Wow!
00:09:03.74\00:09:05.07
So soon the whole
Adventist Church was coming
00:09:05.11\00:09:06.98
and people were
making decisions.
00:09:07.01\00:09:09.11
It's incredible and it just...
00:09:09.14\00:09:11.41
The church members
after was over they said,
00:09:11.45\00:09:12.81
"Please forgive us.
00:09:12.85\00:09:14.22
Sorry for not having faith
00:09:14.25\00:09:15.58
that God could
work even in our town."
00:09:15.62\00:09:17.09
Amen. Amen.
00:09:17.12\00:09:18.45
So... That's awesome.
00:09:18.49\00:09:19.82
The Lord used these young people
00:09:19.85\00:09:21.36
to preach all over India.
00:09:21.39\00:09:22.89
And many decisions
were made for Christ.
00:09:22.92\00:09:24.26
Now, you were with
one of our guys Morocco.
00:09:24.33\00:09:26.06
Yes.
00:09:26.09\00:09:27.43
You preach in a Sunday church.
00:09:27.50\00:09:28.83
How many people
were there? Over...
00:09:28.86\00:09:30.27
Well, we did a seminar
00:09:30.30\00:09:31.93
for over 200 Lutheran
pastors in Andhra Pradesh.
00:09:31.97\00:09:36.54
These Lutheran
pastors were listening
00:09:36.57\00:09:37.91
to the messages for two days,
00:09:37.94\00:09:39.74
then we invited them to go
00:09:39.77\00:09:41.11
to Muriel Twose
evangelistic meetings.
00:09:41.14\00:09:42.98
Many of them came.
00:09:43.01\00:09:44.35
And then Muriel was
invited by the bishop
00:09:44.38\00:09:46.01
of the Lutheran church
for that whole district
00:09:46.05\00:09:47.95
to speak to his church
which has over 10,000 members.
00:09:47.98\00:09:51.12
Amen.
00:09:51.15\00:09:52.85
Isn't that
amazing? That's amazing.
00:09:52.89\00:09:54.26
So God is moving
in powerful ways,
00:09:54.29\00:09:55.92
even among the
Lutherans in India
00:09:55.96\00:09:58.86
to preach the
Three Angels' Messages.
00:09:58.89\00:10:00.30
Amen. Amen.
00:10:00.33\00:10:01.80
How many young
people were preaching?
00:10:01.83\00:10:03.57
How many evangelistic
sites did you have at one time?
00:10:03.60\00:10:07.24
Around 500 to 600, but we...
00:10:07.27\00:10:10.11
Probably closer to it.
00:10:10.14\00:10:11.47
We're not exactly sure
how many sites they had.
00:10:11.51\00:10:13.31
We're still
gathering the data on that.
00:10:13.38\00:10:14.71
Okay. That's still coming in.
00:10:14.74\00:10:16.08
But we had it from
several different colleges
00:10:16.11\00:10:17.71
and we had over
1,000 video projectors
00:10:17.75\00:10:20.45
that went out, so
over 1,000 meetings.
00:10:20.52\00:10:22.78
That's incredible. Amen.
00:10:22.82\00:10:24.19
Yeah. Amen.
00:10:24.22\00:10:25.55
Actually the goal for
the whole division in Nepal
00:10:25.59\00:10:27.29
was to have 4,000 meetings.
00:10:27.36\00:10:28.79
I don't think they made it.
00:10:28.82\00:10:30.16
I'm not sure though
00:10:30.23\00:10:31.56
because it's
going on all year long.
00:10:31.59\00:10:32.93
Okay.
00:10:32.96\00:10:34.30
So we will have
several thousand.
00:10:34.33\00:10:35.66
We were also in Calcutta
00:10:35.70\00:10:37.30
and Duane mentioned
Elder Wilson preached there.
00:10:37.37\00:10:40.04
And that's the city of
15 million people, Jill,
00:10:40.07\00:10:42.27
15 million, 200
Seventh-day Adventists.
00:10:42.30\00:10:45.74
Two hundred?
00:10:45.77\00:10:47.11
Yeah, 200 in a
city of 15 million.
00:10:47.18\00:10:48.51
So General Conference said,
00:10:48.54\00:10:49.88
"We want to target this
city to try to get the work."
00:10:49.91\00:10:52.98
And that's why Elder
Wilson went there and preached.
00:10:53.01\00:10:54.35
Amen. What a blessing.
00:10:54.38\00:10:55.85
It made a tremendous impact.
00:10:55.88\00:10:57.89
You know, we're not
talking huge baptismal numbers
00:10:57.92\00:11:00.16
but they're trying.
00:11:00.19\00:11:01.92
We did medical clinics there,
ministering to the people,
00:11:01.96\00:11:04.56
but really,
really trying to reach
00:11:04.59\00:11:06.70
a massive city
that needs Christ.
00:11:06.73\00:11:08.23
Amen. That's right.
00:11:08.26\00:11:09.60
That's incredible. Yes.
00:11:09.63\00:11:10.97
Speaking of medical clinics,
00:11:11.00\00:11:12.33
I think we have a
video, is that right?
00:11:12.37\00:11:13.74
We do. And you
want to go to that?
00:11:13.77\00:11:15.10
Yes.
00:11:15.14\00:11:16.47
Let's take a look at a
video of the medical work
00:11:16.50\00:11:17.84
that was done in conjunction
with evangelistic series.
00:11:17.87\00:11:20.68
Amen.
00:11:20.71\00:11:23.45
The purpose of AWR360° Health
00:11:23.48\00:11:25.95
is to be able to
provide 360 degrees
00:11:25.98\00:11:29.25
of health to every patient.
00:11:29.28\00:11:31.62
That means physically,
mentally, emotionally,
00:11:31.65\00:11:34.36
and spiritually,
the whole person.
00:11:34.39\00:11:36.73
Everywhere we've
gone in the years
00:11:36.76\00:11:38.33
that we've been
doing these mega clinics,
00:11:38.36\00:11:40.63
patients will come up and say,
00:11:40.70\00:11:42.16
"Who are you people?
00:11:42.20\00:11:43.80
And how do I join your church?"
00:11:43.87\00:11:45.20
Their lives are so impacted.
00:11:45.23\00:11:46.57
But it's not just the
individual patient's lives.
00:11:46.60\00:11:49.77
The entire
communities are affected.
00:11:49.80\00:11:51.77
Government
officials, dignitaries,
00:11:51.81\00:11:54.51
all having a changed perspective
00:11:54.54\00:11:56.54
of God's
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:11:56.58\00:11:59.28
But it's not just that,
volunteers' lives themselves
00:11:59.31\00:12:03.22
have been
completely transformed.
00:12:03.25\00:12:04.82
I can tell you numerous
of volunteers who have come
00:12:04.85\00:12:08.09
somewhat disgruntled
00:12:08.12\00:12:09.46
with this or that situation
00:12:09.49\00:12:10.83
and they come through,
they serve as a volunteer,
00:12:10.86\00:12:12.79
they get to be
Jesus' hands and feet
00:12:12.83\00:12:14.76
and afterward they
say, you know what?
00:12:14.80\00:12:16.77
"If this is what
00:12:16.80\00:12:18.17
the Seventh-day
Adventist Church stands for,
00:12:18.20\00:12:20.27
I'm in and I'm 100%."
00:12:20.34\00:12:22.37
The impact is phenomenal.
00:12:22.40\00:12:25.34
AWR360° Health,
Chennai has had a huge impact
00:12:25.37\00:12:29.61
not just on India,
but I think globally.
00:12:29.64\00:12:32.75
What they've done here?
00:12:32.78\00:12:34.12
They've transformed a school
into a beautiful mega clinic.
00:12:34.15\00:12:38.05
And it has served as
a tremendous blessing
00:12:38.09\00:12:40.59
to the community at large.
00:12:40.66\00:12:42.39
What we learned is
00:12:42.42\00:12:43.76
this can be replicated globally.
00:12:43.83\00:12:46.39
You can take
schools all over the world
00:12:46.43\00:12:48.56
and transform them
into medical clinics,
00:12:48.60\00:12:50.47
you can take
hospitals and communities
00:12:50.50\00:12:53.20
and transform them
into centers of influence
00:12:53.23\00:12:56.50
to the community around them.
00:12:56.54\00:12:58.17
As far as the
impact is concerned,
00:12:58.21\00:13:00.48
I think we're touching
00:13:00.51\00:13:01.84
on what Jesus originally
had planned for our church.
00:13:01.88\00:13:04.95
And that is truly
to provide 360 degrees
00:13:04.98\00:13:09.22
of health physically, mentally,
emotionally, and spiritually.
00:13:09.25\00:13:13.39
I would
recommend everyone attend
00:13:13.46\00:13:15.99
a mission trip at
AWR360° Health mission trip.
00:13:16.02\00:13:20.40
It is guaranteed to
transform your life.
00:13:20.43\00:13:22.73
You will go back
to your own hometowns,
00:13:22.76\00:13:24.87
your own home cities,
00:13:24.90\00:13:26.23
and you will say, you know what,
00:13:26.27\00:13:27.64
what I experienced in
this or that location,
00:13:27.67\00:13:30.01
in this or that country,
00:13:30.04\00:13:31.51
I want for my own community,
I want for my own town.
00:13:31.54\00:13:34.91
And we have
seen that since 2014.
00:13:34.94\00:13:38.28
People who participate
in these mega health clinics
00:13:38.31\00:13:41.42
go back to their own home city
00:13:41.45\00:13:43.49
and they are
transforming the life.
00:13:43.52\00:13:46.39
My dream for AWR360° Health
00:13:46.42\00:13:48.79
is that it can be an example
00:13:48.82\00:13:51.43
of what God
wants to do globally.
00:13:51.46\00:13:54.50
We can't do mega
clinics all year round,
00:13:54.53\00:13:57.37
every week, every day.
00:13:57.40\00:13:58.93
But you know what?
00:13:58.97\00:14:00.34
Each and every
one of our members,
00:14:00.37\00:14:01.84
Total Member
Involvement can do this.
00:14:01.87\00:14:05.27
When we all work together,
00:14:05.31\00:14:07.58
I believe we will see Jesus come
00:14:07.61\00:14:09.71
because this is His method.
00:14:09.74\00:14:11.91
He has been waiting for
us to take up the method
00:14:11.95\00:14:14.65
that He came to earth to show
00:14:14.68\00:14:16.69
as He healed the people,
He met their physical needs,
00:14:16.72\00:14:19.75
He fed them, He provided to them
00:14:19.79\00:14:21.92
and then He said, "Follow Me."
00:14:21.96\00:14:23.93
When we do that,
00:14:23.96\00:14:25.63
I believe our goal as Christians
00:14:25.66\00:14:28.36
will be
accomplished and we will be able
00:14:28.40\00:14:30.27
to see Jesus come in the clouds.
00:14:30.30\00:14:31.63
Amen.
00:14:41.44\00:14:42.78
We love Dr. Lela Gilbert Ng.
00:14:42.81\00:14:45.58
And just our
privilege to partner with her.
00:14:45.61\00:14:47.88
She is the AWR Health director.
00:14:47.92\00:14:50.52
And what an incredible thing
00:14:50.59\00:14:51.92
to think about bringing all
00:14:51.95\00:14:53.29
that health
evangelism there to India.
00:14:53.32\00:14:56.49
So, Pastor Kyle,
00:14:56.52\00:14:57.86
what is the
mindset or the reason
00:14:57.89\00:15:01.50
for AWR Health 360?
00:15:01.53\00:15:03.57
Tell us about that?
00:15:03.60\00:15:04.93
Well, you know,
00:15:04.97\00:15:06.30
Ellen White told us that
the medical missionary work
00:15:06.33\00:15:08.54
is the right arm of the gospel.
00:15:08.57\00:15:09.90
Amen.
00:15:09.94\00:15:11.27
It opens people's
hearts to the truth.
00:15:11.31\00:15:12.64
We're told Christ method alone
00:15:12.67\00:15:14.01
is the way of
reaching people, right?
00:15:14.08\00:15:15.41
We minister to their needs,
but then we don't stop there,
00:15:15.44\00:15:17.18
then we bid
them to follow Jesus.
00:15:17.25\00:15:18.71
So it's a whole 360 cycle.
00:15:18.75\00:15:21.15
And Elder McKee and I
have been involved since 2014
00:15:21.18\00:15:23.69
with a little ministry called
Your Best Pathway to Health.
00:15:23.72\00:15:26.96
We saw these mega
clinics come to Los Angeles,
00:15:26.99\00:15:29.82
and San Francisco, and
Fort Worth, and Phoenix
00:15:29.86\00:15:33.33
and the impact it
had on cities here
00:15:33.40\00:15:35.50
in the North American Division.
00:15:35.53\00:15:36.97
And so we said,
00:15:37.00\00:15:38.33
"Well, what if we
can take this overseas
00:15:38.37\00:15:40.74
and incorporate it with our
TMI evangelistic work with AWR?"
00:15:40.77\00:15:43.91
Amen.
00:15:43.94\00:15:45.27
And so that's where the
vision for AWR360 Health came.
00:15:45.31\00:15:48.41
What if we can do medical work
00:15:48.44\00:15:50.35
in advance of our
evangelistic meetings,
00:15:50.38\00:15:52.81
showing people the
practical love of Jesus
00:15:52.85\00:15:54.78
and then inviting
them to follow Christ?
00:15:54.82\00:15:56.15
Amen.
00:15:56.18\00:15:57.52
And the whole time broadcasting.
00:15:57.59\00:15:58.92
Yes, broadcasting.
00:15:58.95\00:16:00.29
So it's that whole
picture of evangelism.
00:16:00.32\00:16:02.86
And so Dr. Lela Ng is
our AWR360 Health director.
00:16:02.89\00:16:07.30
We took it to India this summer.
00:16:07.33\00:16:08.73
We were in
Philippines last summer.
00:16:08.76\00:16:10.10
This summer in Chennai
and Calcutta, 7,500 patients
00:16:10.17\00:16:14.67
between all the
sites of this summer
00:16:14.70\00:16:17.44
that we serviced.
00:16:17.51\00:16:18.84
The Lord did incredible things.
00:16:18.87\00:16:20.41
Did you do anything
00:16:20.48\00:16:21.81
with the eyes,
anything like that?
00:16:21.84\00:16:23.18
Just a few things. Just a few.
00:16:23.21\00:16:24.78
Well, of course, we had,
you know, we had the dental,
00:16:24.81\00:16:26.28
we had all the
different specialties,
00:16:26.31\00:16:28.05
but in a special way we
did work on people's eyes.
00:16:28.08\00:16:31.65
Now if you've ever had...
00:16:31.69\00:16:33.39
I've not had cataracts.
00:16:33.46\00:16:35.12
But if you've
ever had a cataract,
00:16:35.16\00:16:36.49
you know that it's
debilitating and you can't see.
00:16:36.52\00:16:39.16
Yeah.
00:16:39.19\00:16:40.53
And so, that's a
terrible quality of life.
00:16:40.60\00:16:42.23
Well, there's a doctor.
00:16:42.26\00:16:43.60
Some of you may
have heard of him
00:16:43.67\00:16:45.00
by the name of
Dr. Jacob Prabhakar.
00:16:45.03\00:16:46.37
Yeah.
00:16:46.40\00:16:47.74
And this guy, literally, I mean,
00:16:47.77\00:16:49.90
God uses him to work miracles.
00:16:49.94\00:16:51.27
That's right. Wow. Wow.
00:16:51.31\00:16:52.64
I was in the
operating room with him.
00:16:52.67\00:16:54.81
In two hours, Jill,
00:16:54.84\00:16:56.31
now you would think two hours
00:16:56.34\00:16:57.68
you might have a
few patients, right?
00:16:57.71\00:16:59.15
Maybe he could
do a few surgeries,
00:16:59.18\00:17:01.08
talk about 48
surgeries in 2 hours.
00:17:01.12\00:17:03.69
Forty-eight? Yeah.
00:17:03.72\00:17:05.05
Cataract surgeries.
00:17:05.09\00:17:06.42
Cataract surgeries. Yeah.
00:17:06.45\00:17:07.79
Basically, two to
three minutes per patient,
00:17:07.82\00:17:10.13
restoring their sight
and the here's the thing.
00:17:10.16\00:17:12.63
Their sight is
restored physically
00:17:12.66\00:17:14.33
but more important,
00:17:14.36\00:17:15.70
those patients then
want to learn about the one
00:17:15.73\00:17:18.37
who can restore
their spiritual sight.
00:17:18.40\00:17:20.24
Oh! Amen.
00:17:20.27\00:17:21.60
So many of these patients
have come to the meetings.
00:17:21.64\00:17:23.07
Yeah.
00:17:23.10\00:17:24.44
There was a Hindu man
00:17:24.47\00:17:25.81
who came to one
meeting and was baptized.
00:17:25.84\00:17:27.78
As a result, his
eyes were healed.
00:17:27.81\00:17:30.05
Now his
spiritual heart is healed.
00:17:30.08\00:17:31.41
Amen. Amen.
00:17:31.45\00:17:32.78
Yes. You have a
little clip on that?
00:17:32.81\00:17:34.15
Show me that. Yes.
00:17:34.18\00:17:35.52
Actually, so I was
in the operating room
00:17:35.55\00:17:36.89
and I held my phone
up and took a time lapse,
00:17:36.92\00:17:38.72
we'll roll that now,
00:17:38.75\00:17:40.09
so you can just get a sense
of how fast Dr. Jacob works.
00:17:40.16\00:17:43.36
And it's incredible.
00:17:43.43\00:17:45.03
You can see him
moving from one patient...
00:17:45.06\00:17:47.63
There he goes
back to the other one.
00:17:47.66\00:17:49.00
You see them, they
put the next one down.
00:17:49.03\00:17:50.37
They just...
00:17:50.40\00:17:51.73
They prepare it, he's
going to move back, and...
00:17:51.77\00:17:54.30
They're treating
patients in and out.
00:17:54.34\00:17:55.67
Yeah, think of
this. Let's go ahead.
00:17:55.70\00:17:57.41
I was going to say,
think of how many lives
00:17:57.44\00:17:58.91
are just literally
changed in those two hours.
00:17:58.94\00:18:01.51
Amen. Amen.
00:18:01.54\00:18:02.88
Wow! It's awesome.
00:18:02.91\00:18:04.25
They once were
blind, now they can see.
00:18:04.28\00:18:05.98
Amen.
00:18:06.01\00:18:07.35
And we had about 500 now
00:18:07.42\00:18:09.98
that have had
their sight restored
00:18:10.02\00:18:12.75
as a result of these
AWR360° clinics in India.
00:18:12.79\00:18:16.12
Hallelujah.
00:18:16.16\00:18:17.53
I was in one church in Chennai,
and a lady was preaching.
00:18:17.56\00:18:20.03
She's from China actually.
00:18:20.10\00:18:21.43
She was preaching
and they had seven people
00:18:21.46\00:18:23.16
from our medical clinics,
00:18:23.20\00:18:24.53
some of them had an eye surgery
and they all were baptized.
00:18:24.57\00:18:26.74
Yes. Praise the Lord.
00:18:26.77\00:18:28.27
They came from the
medical to the meetings,
00:18:28.30\00:18:30.11
learn about Jesus
and were baptized.
00:18:30.14\00:18:31.64
They would have
these dark glasses on
00:18:31.67\00:18:33.51
and so you would look
out over all the people
00:18:33.58\00:18:35.21
are sitting in the meetings
00:18:35.24\00:18:36.85
and many people had dark glasses
00:18:36.88\00:18:38.45
and so you knew
just which ones had come
00:18:38.48\00:18:40.62
from the eye surgery
and were now listening
00:18:40.65\00:18:42.48
to the messages about Jesus.
00:18:42.52\00:18:43.89
Amen. Amen.
00:18:43.92\00:18:45.25
Amen. It works.
00:18:45.29\00:18:46.62
Following Jesus lead
on how to combine the two.
00:18:46.65\00:18:48.86
Right.
00:18:48.89\00:18:50.23
And so we want to do this
00:18:50.26\00:18:51.59
actually next year
in Papa New Guinea.
00:18:51.63\00:18:53.43
That's right.
00:18:53.50\00:18:54.83
And so we're
inviting people to come,
00:18:54.86\00:18:56.20
be a part of this
wonderful health outreach
00:18:56.23\00:18:58.87
in Papua New Guinea next March.
00:18:58.90\00:19:01.80
And also will just mention...
00:19:01.84\00:19:03.64
This is March of 2020.
00:19:03.71\00:19:05.04
I just want to clarify
that. 2020, right, that's it.
00:19:05.07\00:19:06.41
The medical piece.
Okay, the medical piece.
00:19:06.44\00:19:08.01
We're also very
excited, Elder McKey,
00:19:08.04\00:19:09.41
because next April prior to
the General Conference session.
00:19:09.44\00:19:12.28
What dates?
00:19:12.31\00:19:13.65
April 8, 9, and 10,
00:19:13.72\00:19:16.79
Indianapolis, Indiana at
the Lucas Oil Stadium, Cami.
00:19:16.82\00:19:19.55
Awesome.
00:19:19.59\00:19:20.96
Your Best Pathway to
Health, Indianapolis.
00:19:20.99\00:19:22.32
Yay!
00:19:22.36\00:19:23.69
We are hoping to
treat 10,000 patients
00:19:23.73\00:19:25.13
in the name of Jesus.
00:19:25.16\00:19:26.70
Just like in San
Antonio. That's right.
00:19:26.73\00:19:28.30
Yeah, same
thing, now Indianapolis
00:19:28.33\00:19:30.20
and so AWR we're partnered with
00:19:30.27\00:19:32.17
in a North American
Division with that too.
00:19:32.20\00:19:34.14
Exciting. Yeah.
00:19:34.17\00:19:35.50
Because it
prepares people's hearts
00:19:35.54\00:19:37.64
for the message, you know,
00:19:37.67\00:19:39.34
when we are healed physically
or were helped physically,
00:19:39.37\00:19:42.78
then our hearts are more open
00:19:42.81\00:19:45.01
and is accessible to the gospel.
00:19:45.05\00:19:46.38
That's right.
00:19:46.41\00:19:47.75
For 50 years,
there's been a group
00:19:47.78\00:19:49.25
they called The
New People's Army,
00:19:49.28\00:19:51.05
they have controlled
much of the Philippines.
00:19:51.09\00:19:54.16
Actually, they're communists.
00:19:54.19\00:19:56.02
And we started going to
Mindoro several years ago
00:19:56.06\00:19:58.83
and to get permission
to have meetings there
00:19:58.86\00:20:01.43
we would have to give
medicines to the rebels.
00:20:01.46\00:20:04.53
'Cause they basically,
00:20:04.57\00:20:05.90
they dominate
the mountains there.
00:20:05.93\00:20:07.27
Okay.
00:20:07.34\00:20:08.67
You know, you bet it,
00:20:08.70\00:20:10.04
you're either their
enemy or their friend.
00:20:10.07\00:20:11.41
So we had no,
00:20:11.44\00:20:12.77
actually no work
there two years ago,
00:20:12.81\00:20:14.14
almost none with the rebels.
00:20:14.18\00:20:15.51
Very little.
00:20:15.54\00:20:16.88
But now Cami,
how many, I forgot,
00:20:16.91\00:20:18.25
how many is it?
00:20:18.28\00:20:19.61
Well, this is
when we first started.
00:20:19.65\00:20:20.98
So it's two and
a half years ago,
00:20:21.02\00:20:22.35
I remember, I
was filming in Nepal.
00:20:22.38\00:20:23.72
Right.
00:20:23.75\00:20:25.09
And you guys called me
and said there's two villages.
00:20:25.12\00:20:26.86
The whole villages
are coming to the Lord
00:20:26.89\00:20:28.22
want to be bap...
00:20:28.26\00:20:29.59
Two whole... I
said, "What, two?"
00:20:29.62\00:20:31.73
Next phone call, the next day.
00:20:31.76\00:20:33.43
Cami, there's now five village.
00:20:33.50\00:20:35.93
So I'll skip all of
these little segments.
00:20:35.96\00:20:37.57
We are now at 103 villages,
00:20:37.60\00:20:41.54
mountain remote villages
00:20:41.57\00:20:43.51
that are dominated
by the rebel terrorists
00:20:43.54\00:20:46.17
that they're
giving their guns up
00:20:46.21\00:20:48.21
and taking Bibles studies.
00:20:48.24\00:20:49.58
They have AK-47s.
They're assassins.
00:20:49.61\00:20:52.45
That's right.
00:20:52.48\00:20:53.85
And their hearts...
00:20:53.92\00:20:55.25
And this is, or
their hearts were open,
00:20:55.28\00:20:56.62
our medical
mysteries were going up, what?
00:20:56.65\00:20:58.52
Walking 12 hours
through the jungle.
00:20:58.55\00:21:00.29
Minimal. Yes, yes.
00:21:00.36\00:21:01.69
Some we would take overnight
00:21:01.72\00:21:03.06
depending on the mud
levels and different things
00:21:03.09\00:21:04.66
that they had to cross.
00:21:04.69\00:21:06.03
Yeah,
ministering to their needs.
00:21:06.06\00:21:07.40
We have a lot to say about that.
00:21:07.43\00:21:08.76
I wish we had a
video. Do we have a video?
00:21:08.80\00:21:10.17
I wish we did we have a video.
00:21:10.20\00:21:11.53
Cami, do we have a video?
00:21:11.57\00:21:12.90
Of course we have a video.
00:21:12.93\00:21:14.27
Yay!
00:21:14.30\00:21:15.64
Let's take a look
at that video now.
00:21:15.67\00:21:17.01
Find out how AWR Radio
00:21:20.88\00:21:22.78
has gone past
the steel cold guns
00:21:22.81\00:21:25.41
straight into the
hearts of ruthless rebels.
00:21:25.45\00:21:29.68
This is AWR360°.
00:21:29.72\00:21:32.39
Adventist World
Radio has been broadcasting
00:21:46.63\00:21:49.00
God's last day message
00:21:49.04\00:21:50.81
to the unreached
people groups of the world
00:21:50.84\00:21:53.14
in their own languages
from its very beginning.
00:21:53.17\00:21:56.24
AWR began 48 years ago in 1971
00:21:56.28\00:22:00.02
and our mission and vision
00:22:00.05\00:22:02.18
have grown
beyond all expectations.
00:22:02.22\00:22:05.62
I believe, Jesus is
coming very, very soon.
00:22:05.65\00:22:08.32
And all God's
people must take part
00:22:08.36\00:22:10.23
in spreading the
gospel all around the world.
00:22:10.26\00:22:13.06
All around this
old bubble of mud.
00:22:13.09\00:22:14.76
Our expanded focus of
AWR360° broadcast of baptism
00:22:14.80\00:22:18.90
reaches people not
only through the radio,
00:22:18.93\00:22:21.20
but also through
most media platforms,
00:22:21.24\00:22:23.91
cell phone evangelism,
and mobile medical clinics.
00:22:23.94\00:22:27.58
Now incredible
results are happening
00:22:27.61\00:22:29.04
all over the world
00:22:29.08\00:22:30.45
because of this
enhanced direction,
00:22:30.48\00:22:31.91
which by the way, was
the dream of Allen Steele,
00:22:31.95\00:22:34.78
the founder of
Adventist World Radio.
00:22:34.82\00:22:37.72
One of those meetings
took place one year ago
00:22:37.75\00:22:40.66
on the island of
Mindoro in the Philippines.
00:22:40.69\00:22:43.56
Along with the broadcast,
many meetings took place
00:22:43.63\00:22:46.90
and more than
2,000 were baptized.
00:22:46.93\00:22:49.96
Then soon after
over 77 new villages
00:22:50.00\00:22:53.34
turned their
lives over to the Lord
00:22:53.37\00:22:55.34
as the layman radio
hosts kept preaching.
00:22:55.37\00:22:58.27
But then some of
the new listeners
00:22:58.31\00:23:00.51
made a surprise visit
00:23:00.58\00:23:02.18
to one of our AWR
radio broadcasters,
00:23:02.21\00:23:05.21
Robert Dulay.
00:23:05.25\00:23:07.92
As he was biking home one day,
00:23:07.95\00:23:09.75
he saw four
strangers at his front door.
00:23:09.78\00:23:13.56
They told him they were rebels.
00:23:13.59\00:23:17.23
On March 29, 1969
00:23:17.26\00:23:19.83
the New
People's Army was formed.
00:23:19.86\00:23:22.10
Armed with weapons,
00:23:22.13\00:23:23.47
they gradually
infiltrated the country.
00:23:23.50\00:23:26.94
Their goals have been
to overthrow the government
00:23:26.97\00:23:29.80
and establish a Maoist
style communist regime.
00:23:29.84\00:23:34.48
They regularly ambushed
police and military forces.
00:23:34.51\00:23:39.15
Are these men and women to
be feared for the brutality
00:23:39.18\00:23:42.32
to be rejected and abandoned?
00:23:42.35\00:23:44.89
Or is God calling His faithful
to go out into the highways
00:23:44.92\00:23:48.52
and byways to preach there too.
00:23:48.56\00:23:50.93
They pleaded with us
00:23:50.96\00:23:52.36
to send someone to
the village to preach.
00:23:52.39\00:23:54.50
As they had been
listening to the radio
00:23:54.53\00:23:56.33
and wanted to
know more about Jesus.
00:23:56.36\00:23:59.83
It is now four months later,
00:23:59.87\00:24:01.94
AWR360° is heading to
the forbidden mountain area
00:24:01.97\00:24:05.94
in the midst of
where these rebels live.
00:24:05.97\00:24:09.78
Where Jesus went,
00:24:09.81\00:24:11.15
He often heals those around Him.
00:24:11.18\00:24:13.08
In like manner,
00:24:13.11\00:24:14.45
we are bringing in a
team of medical laymen
00:24:14.48\00:24:16.55
who are committed to
following God's healing message
00:24:16.58\00:24:19.09
across the Philippines.
00:24:19.12\00:24:21.46
Helping take
the medical supplies
00:24:21.49\00:24:23.29
to the staging point is
the Philippine military,
00:24:23.32\00:24:25.86
the Fourth
Division Scorpion unit.
00:24:25.89\00:24:28.96
Seeing the good
work that AWR has done
00:24:29.00\00:24:31.13
in reaching the rebel soldiers,
00:24:31.17\00:24:32.87
they put forth
their full support
00:24:32.90\00:24:34.64
of what we are doing.
00:24:34.67\00:24:36.47
They load the supplies
and before we head out,
00:24:36.50\00:24:38.94
we have a prayer, AWR,
00:24:38.97\00:24:41.98
the medical
laymen and the military,
00:24:42.01\00:24:45.01
all praying hand
in hand to our God
00:24:45.05\00:24:47.92
for His blessing in
what we're about to do.
00:24:47.95\00:24:50.92
Finally, after a
long and difficult drive,
00:24:50.99\00:24:53.76
we reached the staging point.
00:24:53.79\00:24:56.06
As we wait, we
noticed many porters
00:24:56.09\00:24:58.16
coming down the trail.
00:24:58.19\00:24:59.53
They will help
carry the supplies
00:24:59.56\00:25:01.26
the rest of the
way up the mountain.
00:25:01.30\00:25:03.87
This will be a long
trip with a very heavy load.
00:25:03.90\00:25:08.17
Some of the porters are
members of the rebel group.
00:25:08.20\00:25:11.87
Once again we have a prayer
00:25:11.91\00:25:14.18
and then the supplies are loaded
00:25:14.21\00:25:15.64
for the journey ahead.
00:25:15.68\00:25:17.71
We say goodbye to the
laymen and the villagers
00:25:17.75\00:25:20.15
as they make
their way up the trail.
00:25:20.22\00:25:22.45
It will be a tiresome trek
00:25:22.48\00:25:24.09
through the
jungles, rivers, and mud.
00:25:24.12\00:25:27.99
It will take at
least eight hours
00:25:28.02\00:25:29.89
for some to reach the village.
00:25:29.92\00:25:31.89
For others it will
be an overnight walk.
00:25:31.93\00:25:36.67
The next morning we board
a small mission helicopter
00:25:36.70\00:25:40.04
and it takes us to
the top of the mountain.
00:25:40.07\00:25:42.87
I smile as I
relive God's miracles
00:25:42.90\00:25:45.37
in how He reached
00:25:45.41\00:25:46.91
the rebellious
militant minded soldiers
00:25:46.98\00:25:49.68
that we were about
to meet face-to-face.
00:25:49.71\00:25:53.42
As the
helicopter comes to a halt,
00:25:53.45\00:25:55.48
I look at the
crowd gathered before us.
00:25:55.52\00:25:57.75
They are lit with smiles.
00:25:57.79\00:26:00.26
We are welcomed
00:26:00.29\00:26:01.62
and the natives
eagerly give us a tour.
00:26:01.66\00:26:03.93
It's amazing to see how
these precious people live.
00:26:03.96\00:26:08.20
Then I sit down with a friend,
00:26:08.23\00:26:09.93
the first one who
started listening to AWR.
00:26:09.96\00:26:14.64
My life was always on edge.
00:26:14.67\00:26:17.31
I did many things I
would rather not talk about,
00:26:17.34\00:26:20.88
but one day
00:26:20.91\00:26:22.24
as I was listening to the radio,
00:26:22.28\00:26:24.71
something different came on.
00:26:24.75\00:26:27.22
It was AWR's Health Program.
00:26:27.25\00:26:30.42
As I listened, I discovered
00:26:30.49\00:26:32.22
that these
people were helping many
00:26:32.25\00:26:34.16
with their health problems.
00:26:34.19\00:26:35.62
They also talked
about the supreme healer,
00:26:35.66\00:26:38.29
one whose life
was devoted to others
00:26:38.33\00:26:40.60
rather than himself.
00:26:40.63\00:26:42.83
This thought appealed to him
00:26:42.86\00:26:44.67
and he felt the need
to share it with others.
00:26:44.70\00:26:47.90
Then he began to
wonder, who are these people
00:26:47.94\00:26:50.91
who are sharing
this loving message?
00:26:50.94\00:26:53.78
He knew he had to
find out for himself.
00:26:53.81\00:26:56.61
I had to know more.
00:26:56.64\00:26:58.45
So I sought out the
speaker of this program.
00:26:58.48\00:27:02.02
I sent fellow members
of my unit to invite him
00:27:02.05\00:27:05.12
to the mountaintop.
00:27:05.15\00:27:07.16
The road they
took down many times
00:27:07.19\00:27:09.46
had been used
to hurt or injured,
00:27:09.49\00:27:11.56
but this time it was different.
00:27:11.59\00:27:14.76
My friends asked him,
00:27:14.80\00:27:16.56
"Please, come preach
to us in the mountains."
00:27:16.60\00:27:19.60
As they met, a friend shared
00:27:30.88\00:27:33.62
how he has a desire
to learn more about Jesus
00:27:33.65\00:27:37.75
and AWR360° was happy to oblige.
00:27:37.79\00:27:42.16
Many laymen pastors
00:27:42.19\00:27:43.66
also climbed the
mountain to preach.
00:27:43.73\00:27:46.90
And soon many new
rebels heard about God
00:27:46.93\00:27:50.00
through the radio
and Bible studies.
00:27:50.07\00:27:53.64
And they too have a
need to share it with others.
00:27:53.67\00:27:58.37
And then the day came
00:27:58.41\00:27:59.74
when Ephraim himself
walked down the mountain
00:27:59.77\00:28:02.88
with one final request.
00:28:02.91\00:28:06.65
I want to be baptized
and so do many others.
00:28:06.72\00:28:12.39
And so on top of this
once dangerous mountain,
00:28:12.42\00:28:15.96
laymen doctors
healed those who were sick
00:28:15.99\00:28:18.89
and the mouths were cleaned
by the volunteer dentists.
00:28:18.93\00:28:23.10
Our AWR360° team
spoke with many villagers
00:28:23.13\00:28:27.44
and prayed with many more.
00:28:27.47\00:28:30.31
Additional rebels arrived
because they were interested
00:28:30.34\00:28:33.51
in witnessing what was going on.
00:28:33.58\00:28:36.61
Our team preached to them
00:28:36.64\00:28:38.21
and then it was time to baptize
00:28:38.25\00:28:39.95
those who had made
their decision for Christ.
00:28:40.02\00:28:43.42
It was a joyous walk
to the baptismal site.
00:28:43.49\00:28:47.26
And I believe all of
heaven was rejoicing with us
00:28:47.29\00:28:50.53
as we watch Pastor McKey
baptized five rebel generals
00:28:50.56\00:28:55.50
along with 60 other soldiers.
00:28:55.53\00:28:59.50
These men who were
once killers in the land
00:28:59.53\00:29:02.44
have now die to self.
00:29:02.47\00:29:04.84
They have laid down
their earthly weapons
00:29:04.87\00:29:07.28
and exchange them
for a heavenly reward.
00:29:07.31\00:29:11.88
What I witness
today was truly a miracle.
00:29:11.91\00:29:16.12
In one of the most
dangerous places on earth,
00:29:16.15\00:29:18.82
Adventist World
Radio boldly went forth,
00:29:18.85\00:29:21.76
so yearning ears could hear
00:29:21.79\00:29:23.63
the mercy and
forgiveness of Jesus.
00:29:23.66\00:29:27.00
Lives were changed for eternity.
00:29:27.03\00:29:29.36
And now many more have a
new hope of heaven forever
00:29:29.40\00:29:34.27
and this is only the beginning.
00:29:34.30\00:29:37.67
Friends, the far reaching
work of AWR is only possible
00:29:37.71\00:29:42.01
with your fervent prayers
and generous financial support.
00:29:42.04\00:29:46.28
Every donation is so important.
00:29:46.31\00:29:49.05
Visit our website
now to donate online,
00:29:49.08\00:29:51.82
keep in touch with AWR.
00:29:51.85\00:29:53.59
We want and need you with us.
00:29:53.66\00:29:56.22
Remember, it is
only working together
00:29:56.26\00:29:58.83
that we will
reach the whole world
00:29:58.86\00:30:01.03
with the good news
of our Lord and Savior.
00:30:01.06\00:30:03.67
He is coming back so soon.
00:30:03.70\00:30:06.40
This is AWR360°.
00:30:06.43\00:30:09.07
It's an amazing testimony
00:30:30.13\00:30:31.69
to see people's
lives change for eternity
00:30:31.73\00:30:34.63
by the power of the gospel,
00:30:34.66\00:30:36.13
by what God is
doing through AWR.
00:30:36.16\00:30:39.53
I'm just reminded
00:30:39.57\00:30:40.94
of how God can
take a stony heart,
00:30:40.97\00:30:42.80
and He can turn it
into a heart of flesh.
00:30:42.84\00:30:45.94
Like with those
generals who were baptized
00:30:45.97\00:30:48.01
and the soldiers
who were baptized
00:30:48.04\00:30:49.81
and what happens to them
after they're baptized though
00:30:49.84\00:30:52.41
'cause they're still in
occupied territory, right?
00:30:52.45\00:30:54.55
By the other
rebels, so what happens?
00:30:54.58\00:30:56.35
Well, we had to
relocate some of them
00:30:56.38\00:30:58.05
and some of them we help,
00:30:58.09\00:30:59.42
we retrain them and
get them into businesses
00:30:59.45\00:31:01.56
doing other kinds of jobs
00:31:01.59\00:31:03.46
and we help them...
00:31:03.53\00:31:05.93
Well, Robert Dulay does a
great job with the military.
00:31:05.96\00:31:08.70
And so they're taking
off the most wanted list.
00:31:08.73\00:31:13.03
We have a
husband and wife. Yeah.
00:31:13.07\00:31:15.37
We just heard so
don't have all the details,
00:31:15.40\00:31:17.01
we'll bring them next time.
00:31:17.04\00:31:18.37
But this married couple
00:31:18.41\00:31:19.74
they're in
together in the NPA together
00:31:19.77\00:31:22.14
and they both are
on the most wanted list
00:31:22.18\00:31:24.31
for the government
of the Philippines.
00:31:24.35\00:31:26.82
And they have
been listening to AWR
00:31:26.85\00:31:29.42
and are wanting to give
over their machine guns,
00:31:29.45\00:31:32.45
everything up and
turn themselves in
00:31:32.49\00:31:35.32
and become
Seventh-day Adventists,
00:31:35.36\00:31:36.73
be baptized members.
00:31:36.76\00:31:38.09
Amen? Amen.
00:31:38.13\00:31:39.46
That's amazing.
00:31:39.49\00:31:40.83
I know it's just one of many
stories and you know, frankly,
00:31:40.86\00:31:42.20
our stats, they keep changing.
00:31:42.23\00:31:43.57
There's an update, you
know, it's 103 villages now.
00:31:43.60\00:31:45.73
Wow!
00:31:45.77\00:31:47.14
And how many
generals have we baptized?
00:31:47.17\00:31:48.77
We're not sure, 11 or 13.
00:31:48.80\00:31:50.74
Yeah. That's right in there.
00:31:50.81\00:31:52.14
It's around a dozen generals.
00:31:52.17\00:31:54.48
They themselves
have their own armies,
00:31:54.51\00:31:56.48
you know, then we learn about...
00:31:56.51\00:31:58.11
And two years ago nothing.
00:31:58.15\00:31:59.48
That story about the
woman with her children.
00:31:59.51\00:32:01.65
Yes. I love that story.
00:32:01.68\00:32:03.02
Tell us, Duane.
00:32:03.05\00:32:04.39
It's fantastic.
00:32:04.42\00:32:05.75
This lady, she's a rebel
and her husband is a rebel.
00:32:05.79\00:32:08.29
And they're with
their kids in their house.
00:32:08.32\00:32:10.46
It's early morning,
they're eating breakfast
00:32:10.53\00:32:12.56
and all of a sudden
00:32:12.59\00:32:13.93
they hear these
gunshots going into there
00:32:14.00\00:32:16.60
and so he grabs his
AK-47, runs out the front door.
00:32:16.67\00:32:21.00
She grabs the kids,
runs out the back door,
00:32:21.04\00:32:23.61
runs to the
jungle and hides out.
00:32:23.64\00:32:26.34
She never sees
her husband again.
00:32:26.37\00:32:28.01
Oh, wow!
00:32:28.04\00:32:29.38
She is just so
angry at the military.
00:32:29.41\00:32:32.68
She teaches her boys
how to become rebels,
00:32:32.71\00:32:36.48
how to take the guns
00:32:36.52\00:32:37.85
and sneak around
and shoot people.
00:32:37.89\00:32:39.22
And they're just
kids, young, yeah.
00:32:39.25\00:32:40.99
It's horrible.
00:32:41.02\00:32:42.62
And she's so
angry at the military
00:32:42.66\00:32:45.19
and she's a rebel.
00:32:45.23\00:32:47.23
She's an assassin.
00:32:47.30\00:32:48.93
This goes on for
months and months
00:32:48.96\00:32:50.87
and my sister
says two years ago.
00:32:50.90\00:32:53.20
And recently a few months ago,
she starts listening to AWR,
00:32:53.23\00:32:58.11
Adventist World Radio.
00:32:58.14\00:32:59.91
She gets the kids together
and they start listening.
00:32:59.94\00:33:02.31
They hear about Jesus
and about forgiveness.
00:33:02.34\00:33:04.65
Their hearts are touched
00:33:04.68\00:33:06.31
and they contact
the Pastor Robert Dulay
00:33:06.35\00:33:09.08
and they said, "We
can't kill anymore,
00:33:09.12\00:33:12.55
we want to be baptized."
00:33:12.59\00:33:13.99
Beautiful.
00:33:14.06\00:33:15.39
So after they were baptized,
00:33:15.42\00:33:16.76
Robert tells me
they're in church
00:33:16.79\00:33:18.13
a few weeks ago.
00:33:18.16\00:33:20.30
He's there and
she starts to cry.
00:33:20.33\00:33:23.16
And she says,
00:33:23.20\00:33:24.53
"You know, why didn't you
start broadcasting sooner?"
00:33:24.57\00:33:29.10
If we had heard
the broadcast sooner,
00:33:29.14\00:33:32.44
then maybe my husband
will be here in church with me.
00:33:32.47\00:33:34.18
Wow.
00:33:34.21\00:33:37.71
That's the power of the gospel.
00:33:37.75\00:33:39.08
Amen. That's right.
00:33:39.11\00:33:40.45
What does that though
do for you working at AWR
00:33:40.52\00:33:44.12
to realize people's lives
are being changed for eternity?
00:33:44.19\00:33:48.19
How does that impact
or change your lives?
00:33:48.22\00:33:50.93
It is such a
solemn responsibility,
00:33:50.96\00:33:52.73
but at the same time it's
the highest adrenaline rush
00:33:52.76\00:33:55.23
that you can have
00:33:55.26\00:33:56.60
because we know
that we're being used
00:33:56.67\00:33:58.33
like vessels for the Lord
00:33:58.37\00:34:01.07
'cause He's preparing the
world 'cause He's coming soon.
00:34:01.10\00:34:03.44
And we see it
happening all over the globe.
00:34:03.51\00:34:06.51
And it just, it
does, it changes your day.
00:34:06.54\00:34:08.34
You have such
purpose every morning.
00:34:08.38\00:34:10.48
Yeah.
00:34:10.55\00:34:11.88
And to think, Jill, you know,
just like what you said Duane,
00:34:11.91\00:34:13.65
she said, I wish
you would come sooner.
00:34:13.72\00:34:15.48
Yes.
00:34:15.52\00:34:16.89
I can think of this
countless millions of people
00:34:16.92\00:34:19.29
who are out in
these cities of the world,
00:34:19.32\00:34:20.96
these dark corners of the world
00:34:20.99\00:34:22.32
that if only they knew the truth
00:34:22.36\00:34:24.53
of the Three Angel's Messages.
00:34:24.56\00:34:26.09
And by the way, AWR,
00:34:26.13\00:34:27.73
we're trying to
get one of our goals,
00:34:27.76\00:34:29.86
the hundred largest
metro areas in the world
00:34:29.90\00:34:32.87
broadcasting the
Adventist message, Duane McKey.
00:34:32.90\00:34:35.57
That's our goal, right?
00:34:35.60\00:34:36.94
That's our
goal. That's our goal.
00:34:37.01\00:34:38.34
Yeah. It makes me just...
00:34:38.37\00:34:39.71
Someone said, "Well,
what about North America?"
00:34:39.74\00:34:41.08
Right. Yeah.
00:34:41.11\00:34:42.44
Well, hundred largest
metro areas in the world.
00:34:42.48\00:34:43.95
Two of them are in Texas,
Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston.
00:34:43.98\00:34:47.75
So next year,
we're gonna broadcast
00:34:47.78\00:34:50.49
in those big
metro areas in Texas
00:34:50.52\00:34:53.25
and then come
back in a year later
00:34:53.29\00:34:55.52
and have evangelistic meetings.
00:34:55.56\00:34:56.93
Yes.
00:34:56.96\00:34:58.29
Several hundred
of them all across
00:34:58.33\00:34:59.66
those two metro areas.
00:34:59.69\00:35:01.03
'Cause these
are reaping meeting.
00:35:01.06\00:35:02.40
I'm sorry Cami, reaping meetings
00:35:02.43\00:35:04.43
following up with
people listening to AWR.
00:35:04.47\00:35:06.84
I'm sorry, go ahead.
00:35:06.87\00:35:08.20
I was just gonna say
it to answer your question
00:35:08.24\00:35:09.57
then we go from tears of,
00:35:09.60\00:35:11.74
you know, such tugging heart,
00:35:11.77\00:35:13.58
tugging stories to excitement
00:35:13.61\00:35:15.38
about how we're
gonna reach more people.
00:35:15.41\00:35:17.45
So it's that, that's
our constant every day.
00:35:17.48\00:35:19.88
Yeah, weekly, sometimes daily,
00:35:19.91\00:35:22.35
we get these
messages on our cell phones,
00:35:22.38\00:35:24.45
you know, or WhatsApp or texting
00:35:24.49\00:35:26.59
from around the world.
00:35:26.62\00:35:27.96
Like I just got a text.
00:35:27.99\00:35:29.96
No, a WhatsApp, Nazareth.
00:35:30.03\00:35:34.10
Nazareth on Sunday.
00:35:34.13\00:35:36.97
We're in a large Arab
speaking Protestant church,
00:35:37.00\00:35:42.60
teaching them to do
cell phone evangelism
00:35:42.64\00:35:45.11
with our sermons on WhatsApp.
00:35:45.14\00:35:47.28
Yeah.
00:35:47.31\00:35:48.64
So this whole congregation
is learning how to use WhatsApp
00:35:48.68\00:35:51.15
which they use over
there to share our sermons
00:35:51.18\00:35:54.22
with their friends across,
00:35:54.25\00:35:55.62
all across that part of
the world who speak Arabic.
00:35:55.65\00:35:59.52
Amen.
00:35:59.55\00:36:00.89
It's incredible.
00:36:00.96\00:36:02.29
And we are having baptisms
00:36:02.32\00:36:03.66
in all different
parts of the world
00:36:03.69\00:36:05.03
from the cell
phone evangelism itself.
00:36:05.06\00:36:07.43
So it's working.
00:36:07.50\00:36:09.03
It's a wonderful way.
00:36:09.06\00:36:10.57
Yeah. Yeah.
00:36:10.60\00:36:11.93
It's amazing
that you can literally
00:36:11.97\00:36:13.30
reach the world
through your cell phone.
00:36:13.34\00:36:14.80
That's right.
00:36:14.84\00:36:16.17
And everyone can be
an evangelist this way.
00:36:16.20\00:36:18.31
You don't necessarily
have to get up in public speak
00:36:18.34\00:36:21.14
in front of thousands of people,
00:36:21.18\00:36:22.51
although I highly recommend it.
00:36:22.54\00:36:24.48
But, you know, you
can do it from your couch.
00:36:24.51\00:36:26.21
Right.
00:36:26.25\00:36:27.62
And you can be a soul winner.
00:36:27.65\00:36:28.98
Everyone can play a
part in winning souls.
00:36:29.02\00:36:31.05
You know, the
opportunities that we have
00:36:31.09\00:36:33.46
in this day in earth's
history to reach the world.
00:36:33.49\00:36:36.29
Each one of us
through our cell phones
00:36:36.32\00:36:37.66
is just incredible.
00:36:37.69\00:36:39.23
Amen. It's amazing.
00:36:39.26\00:36:40.70
And I don't know if I
should share this, but...
00:36:40.73\00:36:42.73
Oh, you should.
00:36:42.76\00:36:44.10
Oh, okay, I
will. We want to know.
00:36:44.17\00:36:45.50
This is the latest thing.
00:36:45.53\00:36:47.34
Our genius engineer Michael Dant
00:36:47.37\00:36:49.50
has created
what is called a Bot.
00:36:49.54\00:36:52.21
And this Bot... What is Bot?
00:36:52.24\00:36:53.58
Well, I don't
know all the details,
00:36:53.61\00:36:54.94
but what I can
share is that this Bot
00:36:54.98\00:36:57.35
will automate
cell phone evangelism,
00:36:57.38\00:36:59.55
so that anyone
can do it, anyone.
00:36:59.58\00:37:02.62
And then it will automatically
send people to our CDE.
00:37:02.65\00:37:06.79
What's that, Kyle?
00:37:06.86\00:37:08.19
Center for Digital Evangelism.
00:37:08.22\00:37:09.79
Yes.
00:37:09.82\00:37:11.16
So imagine, I think we
mentioned this earlier,
00:37:11.19\00:37:13.16
Jill, that we're
gonna talk about this.
00:37:13.19\00:37:16.16
You know, a call center.
00:37:16.20\00:37:17.57
Think about a call center,
00:37:17.60\00:37:18.93
you have an
issue for the company,
00:37:18.97\00:37:20.30
you need help, you
call a call center.
00:37:20.34\00:37:21.67
Oh, yeah.
00:37:21.70\00:37:23.04
Well, we want to
have digital call centers
00:37:23.07\00:37:24.41
of our young people
00:37:24.44\00:37:25.77
that are serving as
digital missionaries.
00:37:25.81\00:37:27.14
Amen.
00:37:27.18\00:37:28.51
The first one is
already established in Manila.
00:37:28.54\00:37:29.88
Awesome.
00:37:29.91\00:37:31.25
And these young adults
00:37:31.28\00:37:32.61
will not only be
answering the phones,
00:37:32.65\00:37:33.98
they're gonna be using Whatsapp,
00:37:34.02\00:37:35.35
Facebook Messenger,
00:37:35.38\00:37:36.72
social media, various
channels to reach out to people
00:37:36.75\00:37:39.05
to help enroll
them in Bible studies...
00:37:39.09\00:37:40.66
Amen.
00:37:40.69\00:37:42.02
Leading them from
listening to the broadcasts
00:37:42.06\00:37:44.03
to making a decision for baptism
00:37:44.06\00:37:45.89
and following Christ.
00:37:45.93\00:37:47.30
Oh, that's so exciting.
00:37:47.33\00:37:48.66
And our vision is to
establish these centers
00:37:48.70\00:37:50.20
around the world.
00:37:50.27\00:37:51.60
Yes.
00:37:51.63\00:37:52.97
So that we're leading
people from broadcast to baptism
00:37:53.00\00:37:54.77
and into the
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:37:54.80\00:37:56.14
Amen.
00:37:56.17\00:37:57.51
One of the exciting
things about the Bot is
00:37:57.54\00:37:58.87
that I just picked up
an email from Michael.
00:37:58.91\00:38:01.68
It said that when a
person calls in on the number
00:38:01.71\00:38:04.88
and then they speak English
or Spanish or Portuguese,
00:38:04.91\00:38:09.88
the computer
recognizes that language
00:38:10.09\00:38:12.19
and responds back
in the same language.
00:38:12.22\00:38:14.69
When they text that,
it will respond back.
00:38:14.72\00:38:16.26
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
00:38:16.29\00:38:17.63
It's brilliant. Our call center.
00:38:17.66\00:38:18.99
It's amazing.
00:38:19.03\00:38:20.40
Yeah. Isn't that awesome?
00:38:20.43\00:38:21.76
Amazing. Yes.
00:38:21.80\00:38:23.13
And we'll be
having footage actually
00:38:23.16\00:38:24.50
of our new CDE
in Manila here soon
00:38:24.53\00:38:26.13
because we're all heading there.
00:38:26.17\00:38:27.54
That's right. Yes.
00:38:27.57\00:38:28.90
We're going there just...
00:38:28.94\00:38:30.27
In like a few weeks it seems.
00:38:30.31\00:38:31.64
Yeah. In
September, that's right.
00:38:31.67\00:38:33.01
Right.
00:38:33.04\00:38:34.38
And we're gonna
be doing some updates
00:38:34.41\00:38:35.74
on several stories.
00:38:35.78\00:38:37.11
Oh, one of please, please.
00:38:37.15\00:38:38.48
Which one?
00:38:38.51\00:38:39.85
This is an
audience of prayer warriors.
00:38:39.88\00:38:41.22
So we would like to request
the prayer warriors out there
00:38:41.25\00:38:44.32
to keep this in
mind in your prayers
00:38:44.35\00:38:46.29
that we have a project.
00:38:46.32\00:38:47.89
It's called the
Danawan Water Project
00:38:47.92\00:38:49.62
that has been funded
by our wonderful donors.
00:38:49.66\00:38:53.43
And it's on an isolated island,
00:38:53.50\00:38:56.06
where these people
listened to the radio
00:38:56.10\00:38:58.40
became Seventh-day Adventists,
00:38:58.43\00:38:59.77
built a little
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:38:59.80\00:39:01.37
on their shoreline.
00:39:01.40\00:39:02.80
But you see they have
no fresh water at all.
00:39:02.84\00:39:05.17
And so they have
to like get in boats.
00:39:05.21\00:39:07.08
The women have to
get in the boats, carry,
00:39:07.11\00:39:09.04
go to another island, get
fresh water, bring it back.
00:39:09.08\00:39:11.38
It's really quite
terrible when there are storms.
00:39:11.41\00:39:13.95
Anyhow, then they
can't have any water.
00:39:14.02\00:39:15.98
But there's a spring there
00:39:16.02\00:39:18.05
and it's three
kilometers into the jungle.
00:39:18.09\00:39:20.66
But what we found we have
all everything ready to go,
00:39:20.69\00:39:23.86
the pipeline all of it,
but there's a witch there.
00:39:23.93\00:39:27.40
There's a
spiritual battle going on,
00:39:27.43\00:39:28.96
that witch does
not want the water
00:39:29.00\00:39:32.10
heading to the shoreline
00:39:32.13\00:39:33.47
to the Seventh-day
Adventist Church there
00:39:33.54\00:39:34.90
with Adventist World
Radio playing all day long.
00:39:34.94\00:39:37.31
Right. Anyhow...
00:39:37.34\00:39:38.67
Because she worships. Because...
00:39:38.71\00:39:40.08
Yes, the spring is a God to her.
00:39:40.11\00:39:41.84
Yeah.
00:39:41.88\00:39:43.21
So she's... Yeah.
00:39:43.24\00:39:44.68
So we have sent
up a liaison there
00:39:44.71\00:39:47.32
to discuss things with her
00:39:47.35\00:39:48.68
and at that night in the
hut when he was about to,
00:39:48.72\00:39:50.99
that morning come
and speak with her.
00:39:51.02\00:39:54.16
Very strange ferocious cat
00:39:54.19\00:39:56.86
appeared in his tent beside him,
00:39:56.93\00:39:58.83
looking him at
straight in the face.
00:39:58.86\00:40:00.23
Anyways, we are living
00:40:00.30\00:40:01.73
in the great
controversy, aren't we?
00:40:01.76\00:40:03.37
So we need some prayers
00:40:03.40\00:40:04.73
because that
village on the island there
00:40:04.77\00:40:07.70
needs the freshwater
00:40:07.74\00:40:09.07
because all the
surrounding islands
00:40:09.10\00:40:10.81
will come to the
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:40:10.84\00:40:13.48
for fresh water.
00:40:13.51\00:40:14.84
And what other
kind of water, Kyle?
00:40:14.88\00:40:16.21
The spiritual water. Amen.
00:40:16.24\00:40:17.58
That's right. Amen.
00:40:17.65\00:40:18.98
Yes. Amen.
00:40:19.01\00:40:20.35
So, it's exciting stuff.
00:40:20.38\00:40:21.72
So we need
people, this is ongoing.
00:40:21.75\00:40:23.08
This is right now.
00:40:23.12\00:40:24.45
You need to pray
at home right now
00:40:24.49\00:40:25.95
for this situation.
00:40:25.99\00:40:27.36
Yes. That's right.
00:40:27.39\00:40:28.72
Absolutely, now I want to
hear about some cow thieves
00:40:28.76\00:40:30.26
and we move to Madagascar.
00:40:30.33\00:40:31.66
Oh, my!
00:40:31.69\00:40:33.03
Cow thieves. Yes.
00:40:33.06\00:40:34.40
In Madagascar,
00:40:34.43\00:40:35.76
there are these cow
thieves called Dahalo,
00:40:35.80\00:40:38.23
and these cow
thieves actually dominate
00:40:38.27\00:40:40.74
what they call the red
zones of Madagascar, which is...
00:40:40.77\00:40:43.30
I want to say about a
third of that whole country.
00:40:43.34\00:40:45.31
You know, it's an island,
but it's a huge country really.
00:40:45.34\00:40:48.24
Anyway, these
cow thieves dominate
00:40:48.28\00:40:49.61
and they will go into villages
00:40:49.64\00:40:51.35
and they will do
anything to capture the cows,
00:40:51.38\00:40:53.65
including murder
to steal these cows.
00:40:53.72\00:40:56.99
But we have a...
00:40:57.02\00:40:58.35
We'll show you
actually how we can...
00:40:58.39\00:41:00.56
How God can reach even
a cow thief, a murderer?
00:41:00.59\00:41:05.09
Let's take a look at
that video right now.
00:41:05.13\00:41:07.20
Isolated in the Indian Ocean,
00:41:11.43\00:41:13.34
80% of all the
animal and plant species
00:41:13.37\00:41:16.17
on this island
00:41:16.20\00:41:17.54
are found nowhere
else in the world.
00:41:17.61\00:41:19.71
From its towering
baobab trees in the desert
00:41:19.74\00:41:22.44
to the dense rainforest jungles,
00:41:22.48\00:41:24.58
this is a land of wonder.
00:41:24.61\00:41:29.05
Come with me as I
discover how AWR is reaching
00:41:29.08\00:41:32.02
into the most
dangerous part of this country.
00:41:32.05\00:41:34.92
I'm in Madagascar
and this is AWR360°.
00:41:34.96\00:41:39.89
There are three
things they hate.
00:41:53.41\00:41:57.05
Cars, military, and
well-dressed people.
00:41:57.08\00:42:02.92
They kill when
they see these things.
00:42:02.95\00:42:06.12
They are taught from a young age
00:42:12.26\00:42:15.03
how to steal cows.
00:42:15.06\00:42:17.73
When they get older,
00:42:17.77\00:42:19.40
all they do is drink
alcohol, and steal and kill.
00:42:19.43\00:42:25.91
They are called Dahalo,
00:42:25.94\00:42:28.64
which means bandits
in the Malagasy language.
00:42:28.68\00:42:32.65
Who are these Dahalo
00:42:41.52\00:42:42.92
and what the cow
thieves have to do with AWR?
00:42:42.96\00:42:46.23
I'm on a journey to find out.
00:42:46.26\00:42:49.93
I am here in
Madagascar with Ray Allen,
00:42:49.96\00:42:52.67
one of our vice presidents.
00:42:52.70\00:42:54.40
As we travel, I have learned
00:42:54.44\00:42:56.14
that early
one-third of this country
00:42:56.17\00:42:58.57
is locally
referred to as red zones.
00:42:58.61\00:43:01.91
This amounts to an area
the size of South Dakota,
00:43:01.94\00:43:05.21
where the government
exerts little or no control
00:43:05.25\00:43:08.92
and where banditry thrives.
00:43:08.95\00:43:11.42
Stricken by poverty,
00:43:11.45\00:43:12.79
the majority of the
population in Madagascar lives
00:43:12.82\00:43:15.56
on less than $1 a day.
00:43:15.59\00:43:19.46
Deprivation drives
theft and the stealing of cows
00:43:19.49\00:43:22.93
and illegal exploitation
of natural resources
00:43:22.96\00:43:25.60
is the pulse of the
culture in these areas.
00:43:25.63\00:43:28.64
This makes them extremely
dangerous and difficult
00:43:28.67\00:43:31.14
for the outside world to reach.
00:43:31.17\00:43:32.64
A Seventh-day Adventist
couple named Andrea and Rashu
00:43:37.05\00:43:40.12
are bravely
working to share the gospel
00:43:40.15\00:43:42.75
in these remote
and dangerous areas.
00:43:42.78\00:43:45.45
Both are nurses
00:43:45.49\00:43:46.86
and through their
medical treatment of all people
00:43:46.89\00:43:49.39
including the Dahalo,
00:43:49.42\00:43:51.43
they have influenced in a region
00:43:51.46\00:43:53.53
that many others do not.
00:43:53.60\00:43:55.23
One Sabbath we
traveled to a distant village
00:43:59.03\00:44:02.27
and we're surprised
to find a group of people
00:44:02.30\00:44:05.57
worshiping
together and praising God.
00:44:05.61\00:44:08.11
We have never seen this before
and started to ask questions.
00:44:12.68\00:44:18.59
Andrea and Rashu have found out
00:44:18.62\00:44:20.09
that many years ago
00:44:20.16\00:44:21.56
the group leader
discovered an AWR broadcast.
00:44:21.59\00:44:25.69
Fascinated by what he
heard, he continued listening
00:44:33.27\00:44:36.74
and soon
organized a little group
00:44:36.81\00:44:38.64
that began
meeting every Sabbath.
00:44:38.67\00:44:41.11
That group has grown
00:44:41.14\00:44:42.91
and though they have
never seen another Adventist,
00:44:42.94\00:44:45.78
met a pastor or
been to a church before,
00:44:45.81\00:44:48.82
they sing together
and teach the truth
00:44:48.85\00:44:51.85
they have heard from the radio.
00:44:51.89\00:44:55.26
And what's more,
00:44:55.29\00:44:56.62
the leader is a
converted Dahalo cow thief.
00:44:56.66\00:45:02.83
We could hardly believe
00:45:02.86\00:45:04.20
what we were seeing and hearing.
00:45:04.27\00:45:06.87
Truly, miracles are
happening through the radio.
00:45:06.94\00:45:10.31
Isn't God amazing?
00:45:18.58\00:45:20.02
I love what a
district pastor here told us.
00:45:20.05\00:45:23.02
He said that he views the
radio as the pioneer of pioneers
00:45:23.05\00:45:27.49
in these distant and
difficult to reach areas.
00:45:27.56\00:45:31.29
So what do
Dahalo and cow thieves
00:45:31.33\00:45:33.33
have to do with AWR?
00:45:33.40\00:45:35.76
They are people whose
lives are being touched
00:45:35.80\00:45:38.17
and transformed by Jesus
00:45:38.20\00:45:40.27
and the truth
heard on the radio.
00:45:40.34\00:45:42.77
We know there are other stories
that have not yet been heard.
00:45:49.24\00:45:52.45
Other Sabbath
keeping groups meeting
00:45:52.48\00:45:54.22
unknown to the outside world,
00:45:54.25\00:45:56.18
other cow thieves
yearning for truth.
00:45:56.22\00:45:59.42
Thank you for
supporting Adventist World Radio
00:45:59.45\00:46:02.36
and helping the
good news of salvation
00:46:02.39\00:46:04.26
penetrate into the
dark corners of the globe.
00:46:04.33\00:46:10.40
I can't wait for heaven
00:46:10.47\00:46:12.10
to hear more stories like these.
00:46:12.13\00:46:14.34
Together we are making waves,
from broadcast to baptism.
00:46:14.37\00:46:18.34
Until next
time, this is AWR360°.
00:46:18.37\00:46:22.98
I love that slogan,
"From broadcast to baptism."
00:46:36.66\00:46:38.96
Amen. Amen.
00:46:38.99\00:46:41.10
I mean, it's amazing to
think God takes a cow thief
00:46:41.13\00:46:43.90
and God changes his heart.
00:46:43.97\00:46:45.47
But what touched me
the most in that story
00:46:45.50\00:46:47.27
was the medical
evangelists coming in
00:46:47.34\00:46:50.41
and finding people
00:46:50.44\00:46:51.77
who were
worshiping on the Sabbath,
00:46:51.81\00:46:53.38
following what
they were hearing on AWR
00:46:53.41\00:46:56.64
with no outside influence
or evangelist except for AWR.
00:46:56.68\00:46:59.61
That's right.
00:46:59.65\00:47:00.98
There, again, you see
00:47:01.02\00:47:02.35
God using people
with the medical gifts
00:47:02.38\00:47:04.29
to be able to reach people,
00:47:04.32\00:47:05.75
also the people that can
speak and be evangelists.
00:47:05.79\00:47:07.99
The fact is, God uses
all of us to reach people.
00:47:08.02\00:47:10.99
Even maybe when
we don't realize it.
00:47:11.03\00:47:13.03
Right.
00:47:13.06\00:47:14.40
What we have to keep in
mind is that we are almost...
00:47:14.43\00:47:15.86
We're walking
billboards for the Lord.
00:47:15.90\00:47:17.87
That's right.
00:47:17.90\00:47:19.23
In our daily lives,
how we handle ourselves,
00:47:19.27\00:47:20.84
even in what we think
might be silence or quietness.
00:47:20.87\00:47:24.11
And this is illustrated
very well in another video
00:47:24.14\00:47:26.98
that we have of really
the impact you can have
00:47:27.01\00:47:30.25
just by your daily choices
00:47:30.28\00:47:32.41
that you make for
your personal life.
00:47:32.45\00:47:33.82
You mean, is this that video
where a bar becomes a church?
00:47:33.85\00:47:38.52
Are you spilling some grain?
00:47:38.55\00:47:39.89
I don't, I'm sorry.
00:47:39.92\00:47:42.36
He gets excited, but
you know what, so do we.
00:47:42.39\00:47:44.56
I love it. I'm very excited.
00:47:44.59\00:47:46.43
We have one more video,
and let's take a look at that.
00:47:46.46\00:47:49.13
Rising above the
Serengeti landscape
00:47:54.50\00:47:56.57
is the tallest
mountain in Africa,
00:47:56.60\00:47:58.87
the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro,
00:47:58.91\00:48:01.51
surrounded by grazing gazelle,
00:48:01.54\00:48:03.38
sleepy lions, and
the elusive leopards,
00:48:03.45\00:48:06.18
this land holds
wonder and enchantment
00:48:06.21\00:48:08.95
to excited tourist
and the humble people
00:48:08.98\00:48:11.15
who call it home.
00:48:11.19\00:48:13.09
I am in Tanzania
and this is AWR360°.
00:48:13.12\00:48:17.53
Adventist World Radio
00:48:32.67\00:48:34.18
was brought to Tanzania in 1993,
00:48:34.21\00:48:37.78
making it the first
non-government radio broadcast
00:48:37.81\00:48:40.72
of its time.
00:48:40.75\00:48:42.58
Now over 25 years later,
a team of dedicated locals
00:48:42.62\00:48:47.06
operate 10
stations across the country,
00:48:47.09\00:48:50.83
broadcasting in
Swahili and Maasai,
00:48:50.86\00:48:53.90
thousands of people can
daily listen to programs
00:48:53.93\00:48:57.17
in their own language.
00:48:57.20\00:48:59.97
After seeing
thousands of baptisms
00:49:00.04\00:49:02.37
as a direct
result of the radio work,
00:49:02.40\00:49:05.24
many Seventh-day
Adventist churches
00:49:05.27\00:49:06.98
have become excited and desirous
00:49:07.01\00:49:09.51
of participating
in some way as well.
00:49:09.54\00:49:15.18
One church decided to sponsor
00:49:15.22\00:49:17.22
a 21-day sermon
series called Rays of Hope.
00:49:17.29\00:49:21.16
The pastor
encouraged the members
00:49:21.19\00:49:22.82
to use this radio
program as a witnessing tool
00:49:22.86\00:49:26.13
and to share the messages
with their friends and family.
00:49:26.16\00:49:30.27
Mama Miambe took this to heart
00:49:30.30\00:49:33.13
and began carrying
her little radio with her
00:49:33.17\00:49:35.54
wherever she went.
00:49:35.57\00:49:39.14
Mama Miambe had a garden,
00:49:39.17\00:49:41.31
and her garden was
located close by the town's bar.
00:49:41.34\00:49:46.28
Daily as she tended to
her plants and vegetables,
00:49:46.31\00:49:49.45
she set down her radio
and turned up the volume.
00:49:49.48\00:49:55.09
Inside the nearby bar,
00:49:55.12\00:49:57.36
the owner named Eliah
00:49:57.43\00:49:59.56
began to listen
and take interest.
00:49:59.59\00:50:04.77
I was so
intrigued with what I heard
00:50:04.80\00:50:06.63
coming from the
radio in the garden.
00:50:06.67\00:50:09.00
I decided to find
the channel on my radio
00:50:09.04\00:50:12.07
so I could hear it better.
00:50:12.11\00:50:13.48
So while Eliah was
serving his customers,
00:50:18.95\00:50:21.65
he was also
listening intently to sermons
00:50:21.68\00:50:24.12
from the Rays of Hope program.
00:50:24.19\00:50:29.16
Soon he was not
the only one listening.
00:50:29.19\00:50:31.76
The drunkards who daily came by
00:50:31.79\00:50:33.80
started to listen
and ask questions.
00:50:33.83\00:50:38.90
Finally, Eliah
suggested they meet together
00:50:38.93\00:50:42.00
and listen to the
radio instead of drinking
00:50:42.04\00:50:45.51
and they all agreed.
00:50:45.54\00:50:49.21
The owner and his customers
00:50:49.24\00:50:50.65
began meeting with
their Bibles and radio.
00:50:50.68\00:50:55.62
And as the AWR program
presented Bible based messages,
00:50:55.65\00:50:59.35
the men
discovered precious truths
00:50:59.39\00:51:01.49
they had never heard before.
00:51:01.52\00:51:05.39
At the end of the 21-day series
00:51:05.43\00:51:07.30
I decided to
give my life to Jesus
00:51:07.33\00:51:09.36
and was baptized along
with 20 of my customers.
00:51:09.40\00:51:13.94
It was a joyous day.
00:51:13.97\00:51:17.31
After their baptism,
this new little congregation
00:51:17.34\00:51:20.71
decided to change their bar
00:51:20.78\00:51:22.84
into a place of worship instead.
00:51:22.88\00:51:27.22
They meet together every Sabbath
00:51:27.25\00:51:29.78
to sing praises
and study the Bible.
00:51:29.82\00:51:33.46
Mama Miambe often joins
them with a heart full of joy
00:51:33.49\00:51:37.43
for what God was
able to do through her.
00:51:37.46\00:51:41.30
I am so thankful for AWR
00:51:41.33\00:51:44.17
and for the messages
of hope that saved us.
00:51:44.20\00:51:47.04
Is this not an amazing testimony
00:51:53.41\00:51:55.61
to the power of the gospel?
00:51:55.64\00:51:57.65
A place of
frivolity and drunkenness
00:51:57.68\00:51:59.78
is now a place of praise
and worship to our Creator.
00:51:59.81\00:52:03.28
And all because one woman
00:52:03.32\00:52:05.35
was willing to
carry her radio with her
00:52:05.39\00:52:07.99
and let it be
heard from her garden.
00:52:08.02\00:52:10.43
Will you join us in
spreading the good news of Jesus
00:52:10.46\00:52:13.60
to a hurting and dying world?
00:52:13.63\00:52:15.73
Through your
prayers and generous support
00:52:15.76\00:52:17.80
of Adventist World Radio,
00:52:17.83\00:52:19.60
light is breaking the darkness
00:52:19.63\00:52:21.54
and truth is
triumphing over falsehood.
00:52:21.57\00:52:24.64
From broadcast to
baptism this is AWR360°.
00:52:24.67\00:52:29.08
God changes lives
00:52:48.16\00:52:49.50
through the power
of His Holy Spirit,
00:52:49.53\00:52:50.97
but He does it
through people like you,
00:52:51.00\00:52:52.83
with people like
that precious women
00:52:52.87\00:52:54.50
who went out to work her garden.
00:52:54.54\00:52:55.87
Yeah. Praise the Lord.
00:52:55.90\00:52:57.24
What an amazing testimony!
00:52:57.31\00:52:58.64
And I know we're coming
down to the end of the program.
00:52:58.67\00:53:00.78
We need several hours here. Yes.
00:53:00.81\00:53:02.58
But you all are or AWR
is going to Papa New Guinea,
00:53:02.61\00:53:06.72
so talk to us just a little
bit about your needs there
00:53:06.75\00:53:09.12
'cause we're gonna put
up your contact info...
00:53:09.15\00:53:10.49
Papa New Guinea gonna be, I
think the most exciting event
00:53:10.52\00:53:13.46
in the history of
the Adventist Church.
00:53:13.49\00:53:15.32
Amen. Amen. Amen.
00:53:15.36\00:53:17.03
I know they are praying
for, I won't say the number,
00:53:17.06\00:53:19.46
but more than 200,000 baptisms.
00:53:19.49\00:53:21.66
More than 200,000?
00:53:21.70\00:53:23.20
Rwanda was our biggest event
00:53:23.23\00:53:24.90
in the history of
the Adventist Church.
00:53:24.93\00:53:26.63
Probably the history
of the Protestant church
00:53:26.67\00:53:28.87
and the world
Catholic Church, Christians.
00:53:28.90\00:53:30.41
And there's 100,000?
00:53:30.44\00:53:31.77
Hundred thousand Baptists.
00:53:31.81\00:53:33.14
Now we're looking at PNG,
and they're praying for 200...
00:53:33.17\00:53:35.51
When they first told me that
00:53:35.54\00:53:36.88
I said, "It can't be,
it ain't gonna happen."
00:53:36.95\00:53:39.58
And then they came and said,
00:53:39.61\00:53:40.95
you know, what they
said, that's next year.
00:53:40.98\00:53:42.85
We already had 10,000
people in the baptismal class.
00:53:42.88\00:53:46.12
Isn't that
incredible? That's amazing.
00:53:46.15\00:53:47.49
Ten thousand
already taken baptism.
00:53:47.56\00:53:48.89
And they're telling them
00:53:48.92\00:53:50.26
you have to win 5,
6, 7 people yourself
00:53:50.29\00:53:52.63
before you can be baptized
00:53:52.66\00:53:54.93
and get them into studies.
00:53:54.96\00:53:56.30
And so they're
working themselves
00:53:56.33\00:53:57.67
and all the church members
are targeting 8, 10, 12 people
00:53:57.70\00:54:01.77
and they have actually
over 300,000 people now.
00:54:01.80\00:54:06.91
Names of people
00:54:06.98\00:54:08.31
that they are
praying for and working for.
00:54:08.34\00:54:10.05
Wow!
00:54:10.08\00:54:11.41
We need people to come preach.
00:54:11.45\00:54:12.78
Yeah. We do.
00:54:12.81\00:54:14.15
We want to invite you to come
and be a part of this effort.
00:54:14.18\00:54:15.65
Right.
00:54:15.68\00:54:17.02
Because it's Total
Member Involvement.
00:54:17.09\00:54:18.42
That's right.
00:54:18.45\00:54:19.79
God has moved on your heart
00:54:19.82\00:54:21.16
as you've been
listening to this program.
00:54:21.19\00:54:22.52
We want to invite
you to go to AWR network,
00:54:22.56\00:54:23.89
watching for information about
how you can come and preach,
00:54:23.93\00:54:25.89
how you can come
and use your gifts
00:54:25.93\00:54:27.93
in medical evangelism.
00:54:27.96\00:54:29.30
Whatever it is,
God has a place for you
00:54:29.33\00:54:31.60
next year 2020
in Papua New Guinea.
00:54:31.63\00:54:33.54
So it's in March
we do medical meetings
00:54:33.57\00:54:35.24
and then May, the
first two weeks of May
00:54:35.27\00:54:37.11
will be evangelism.
00:54:37.14\00:54:38.47
What we're going to do right now
00:54:38.51\00:54:39.84

so that you can
financially support AWR360°.
00:54:41.44\00:54:45.18
You can get
involved with your prayers,
00:54:45.21\00:54:47.92

00:54:47.95\00:54:49.42
and either speak or preach
