Heal a heart that hurts

Hello, and
welcome to 3ABN Today.
00:01:09.76\00:01:12.50
We're so glad
that you're joining us.
00:01:12.53\00:01:14.57
We've got a great report today
00:01:14.60\00:01:17.67
about youth being involved
00:01:17.71\00:01:20.28
in evangelism and it's exciting.
00:01:20.31\00:01:22.58
I'm Shelley Quinn. I'm JD Quinn.
00:01:22.61\00:01:24.91
And we want to thank
you for your prayers,
00:01:24.95\00:01:28.05
your love, and
your financial support
00:01:28.08\00:01:30.29
of 3ABN, the Mending
Broken People network.
00:01:30.32\00:01:33.02
I have a scripture.
00:01:33.05\00:01:34.39
You might know
right where I'm going.
00:01:34.42\00:01:36.76
For today's program
that what seemed appropriate
00:01:36.83\00:01:39.59
was Paul's advice to
Timothy as he wrote to Timothy.
00:01:39.63\00:01:43.30
He said to him
in 1 Timothy 4:12,
00:01:43.37\00:01:47.54
"Let no one despise your youth,
00:01:47.57\00:01:50.41
but be an example
to the leaders in word,
00:01:50.44\00:01:54.54
in conduct, in love, in spirit,
00:01:54.58\00:01:57.91
in faith, and in purity."
00:01:57.95\00:02:00.65
Amen. And did you know what?
00:02:00.72\00:02:02.48
We've got six guests
for this program today.
00:02:02.52\00:02:05.42
So we're going to have
to do some changing out,
00:02:05.45\00:02:07.26
we'll during this song.
00:02:07.29\00:02:08.99
But we're very excited.
00:02:09.02\00:02:11.23
Let me introduce
our special guest.
00:02:11.26\00:02:14.76
First we have
Debbie Young and this is...
00:02:14.80\00:02:17.97
You are now with
ASI Youth for Jesus.
00:02:18.00\00:02:22.00
Yes, I'm involved with
the ASI Youth for Jesus,
00:02:22.04\00:02:24.34
kind of remotely so.
00:02:24.37\00:02:25.71
Debbie, you've
been involved with ASI
00:02:25.74\00:02:28.01
is the Adventist-laymen's
Services & Industries
00:02:28.04\00:02:31.58
and it's all about
00:02:31.61\00:02:33.25
how to share
Christ in the marketplace.
00:02:33.28\00:02:35.58
You've been
involved for over 20 years?
00:02:35.62\00:02:37.29
Yeah, absolutely.
00:02:37.32\00:02:38.65
Yeah, I think
you've been everything
00:02:38.69\00:02:40.49
from here to the president.
00:02:40.56\00:02:42.02
Yes.
00:02:42.06\00:02:43.43
Well, we're so glad for
you. It's been a blessing.
00:02:43.46\00:02:45.16
Well, we're glad
for your service.
00:02:45.19\00:02:46.53
Debbie is a real leader.
00:02:46.56\00:02:48.36
You know, as we
were preparing for this,
00:02:48.40\00:02:50.27
you're sitting in her chair,
00:02:50.30\00:02:51.63
you know, she
just kind of wants it.
00:02:51.67\00:02:53.10
She is a real leader.
00:02:53.13\00:02:54.47
And so it's obvious
that you have worn many hats.
00:02:54.50\00:02:59.17
Well, and you're
used to being the one
00:02:59.21\00:03:02.04
who's doing the interviewing.
00:03:02.08\00:03:03.45
So we're gonna turn
the tables on you today.
00:03:03.48\00:03:05.45
Yes. Okay.
00:03:05.48\00:03:07.02
Then we have
Pastor Wilbur Atwood
00:03:07.05\00:03:10.22
and, Pastor, we're so
glad to have you here.
00:03:10.29\00:03:14.16
It's good to be here.
Yeah, you are, were you...
00:03:14.19\00:03:18.59
Well, I'm not going
to say you're retired,
00:03:18.63\00:03:20.00
there's no
retirement in the kingdom
00:03:20.03\00:03:23.40
harvest work is there.
00:03:23.47\00:03:24.87
But you've been
pastoring since 1985.
00:03:24.90\00:03:28.67
You are also what,
president at Wildwood?
00:03:28.70\00:03:31.84
Yes, for 27 years. Mercy?
00:03:31.87\00:03:34.78
How have you had
time to do all this?
00:03:34.81\00:03:36.58
And now, you are the
leader of ASI Youth for Jesus.
00:03:36.61\00:03:41.75
And, Debbie, why did
you say you all chose him?
00:03:41.78\00:03:44.45
Well, at the time, it
was really important for us
00:03:44.49\00:03:47.09
to have someone with
wisdom, with some experience,
00:03:47.16\00:03:51.49
someone grounded who
understood evangelism
00:03:51.53\00:03:55.60
and could be a good mentor.
00:03:55.63\00:03:58.20
And kind of
direct what was going on
00:03:58.23\00:04:01.90
and that we could
have some confidence
00:04:01.94\00:04:04.67
in taking the reins
00:04:04.71\00:04:06.24
and just leading
for Youth for Jesus.
00:04:06.27\00:04:08.58
And I think the
earlier you mentioned too
00:04:08.61\00:04:11.05
to have an
even-keeled personality.
00:04:11.08\00:04:14.12
Very low key.
Nothing rattles him.
00:04:14.15\00:04:17.32
Oh, that's wonderful.
00:04:17.39\00:04:18.92
Those are some
wonderful attributes.
00:04:18.95\00:04:21.29
Pastor, thank you so much.
00:04:21.32\00:04:23.12
And then Joseph Mariano.
00:04:23.16\00:04:25.43
Joseph, where are you from?
00:04:25.46\00:04:27.30
I am from
Wildwood Health Institute.
00:04:27.33\00:04:32.70
My parents are staff there.
00:04:32.73\00:04:34.67
So I'm based in Wildwood.
00:04:34.70\00:04:36.10
Okay.
00:04:36.14\00:04:37.51
So we're going to
look at some things
00:04:37.54\00:04:41.31
that ASI Youth for
Jesus did in 2018 and 2019.
00:04:41.34\00:04:45.65
Yes.
00:04:45.68\00:04:47.02
But before we begin,
we've already, we're prayed up.
00:04:47.05\00:04:50.42
Debbie, tell us a little
about how Youth for Jesus began
00:04:50.49\00:04:56.29
and what is the mission?
00:04:56.32\00:04:57.83
Well, you know,
00:04:57.86\00:04:59.19
it's a very
interesting beginning.
00:04:59.23\00:05:01.20
ASI, as you
mentioned, it's all about
00:05:01.23\00:05:03.20
sharing Christ
in the marketplace
00:05:03.23\00:05:05.20
and even at our
international conventions
00:05:05.23\00:05:07.67
that we hold every
year we have a very robust
00:05:07.70\00:05:10.54
and comprehensive youth program
00:05:10.61\00:05:12.37
from kindergarten
all the way up to youth.
00:05:12.41\00:05:15.28
So we already have
that kind of investment
00:05:15.31\00:05:18.11
and leading our
young people to Jesus.
00:05:18.15\00:05:20.42
And it was actually
the brainchild of Kim Busl
00:05:20.45\00:05:23.52
and Pastor Louis Torres,
00:05:23.59\00:05:25.39
who thought that we
could do something with youth,
00:05:25.42\00:05:28.76
getting them
involved on the front lines,
00:05:28.79\00:05:31.09
being warriors for
Jesus as you said earlier, JD.
00:05:31.13\00:05:34.80
And so they said,
"Well, why not do something
00:05:34.83\00:05:37.30
where we could
actually teach them
00:05:37.37\00:05:40.04
how to do evangelism?
00:05:40.07\00:05:41.40
Let's take them
through an evangelistic series.
00:05:41.44\00:05:43.91
And so what was
originally developed in 1999
00:05:43.94\00:05:48.04
was this as one
00:05:48.08\00:05:50.35
of the previous ASI leaders,
00:05:50.38\00:05:54.32
ASI Youth for Jesus
leaders, Lisa Hodges would say,
00:05:54.35\00:05:58.29
a four week field school,
00:05:58.32\00:06:00.46
evangelism field
school for youth.
00:06:00.49\00:06:01.82
Amen.
00:06:01.86\00:06:03.19
And so they decided
to do this in Florida.
00:06:03.22\00:06:07.03
It originated in
Florida at that time.
00:06:07.10\00:06:09.53
And I don't remember exactly
how many youth were involved,
00:06:09.56\00:06:13.37
but it was set up as a model
00:06:13.44\00:06:15.37
where we would
have Bible workers
00:06:15.40\00:06:17.01
come in a few
months ahead of time,
00:06:17.04\00:06:19.37
and we would have worked closely
00:06:19.41\00:06:20.91
with the conference
and a church or two,
00:06:20.98\00:06:24.35
to engage them because
that was gonna be home base,
00:06:24.38\00:06:26.95
so we really
wanted them involved.
00:06:27.02\00:06:29.38
So it wasn't just
we were gonna come in
00:06:29.42\00:06:30.89
and do stuff.
00:06:30.92\00:06:32.25
We were gonna come in
and work with the members
00:06:32.29\00:06:34.69
and work together to evangelize
00:06:34.72\00:06:38.26
and to share
Christ in the community.
00:06:38.29\00:06:41.20
So it was, we'd have
Bible workers come in
00:06:41.23\00:06:44.40
ahead of time and start
getting some Bible studies,
00:06:44.43\00:06:47.74
knocking on doors,
00:06:47.77\00:06:49.27
and then the youth would come
in about four weeks in advance
00:06:49.30\00:06:53.21
of the ASI Convention.
00:06:53.24\00:06:54.58
So pretty much
throughout the last 20 years
00:06:54.61\00:06:57.68
or so, it has
always been in the city
00:06:57.71\00:07:01.68
where the ASI Youth
Convention was going to be held.
00:07:01.72\00:07:05.82
And they would come in
and they would do everything
00:07:05.85\00:07:09.49
for an evangelistic series.
00:07:09.52\00:07:10.86
They did the children's program,
00:07:10.93\00:07:12.26
the meeting, the greeting,
00:07:12.29\00:07:14.00
the ushering, the special music.
00:07:14.03\00:07:17.20
They accompany the Bible workers
00:07:17.27\00:07:19.30
going door to door
00:07:19.33\00:07:20.67
so they would
learn that a little bit.
00:07:20.74\00:07:22.64
And they did
everything and the speaking.
00:07:22.67\00:07:25.57
So they did
everything. That's exciting.
00:07:25.61\00:07:28.58
And when you say
youth, what age group?
00:07:28.61\00:07:31.68
So it was
starting about at age 15.
00:07:31.71\00:07:34.02
Okay.
00:07:34.05\00:07:35.38
We wanted to have
youth that, you know,
00:07:35.42\00:07:37.19
this isn't a
babysitting program.
00:07:37.22\00:07:38.89
You know, we really
wanted to make sure that
00:07:38.92\00:07:40.56
they were involved.
00:07:40.59\00:07:42.09
And so we thought
that was a good age
00:07:42.12\00:07:44.59
to engage them at that time.
00:07:44.63\00:07:46.56
So 15 to 19 or
little older. Amen.
00:07:46.59\00:07:51.23
And how many people
would say participate,
00:07:51.27\00:07:55.07
say, an average?
00:07:55.10\00:07:56.44
Well, originally it
probably may have started
00:07:56.47\00:07:58.64
with about 20.
00:07:58.67\00:08:00.01
We've had as many
as 40 or 50 youth,
00:08:00.08\00:08:03.65
as many as 10
evangelistic sites.
00:08:03.68\00:08:07.75
That was really the outside.
00:08:07.78\00:08:10.49
So anywhere in between that,
we've scaled back quite a bit
00:08:10.52\00:08:13.09
because it's quite
a bit of coordination
00:08:13.12\00:08:15.09
as you would imagine.
00:08:15.12\00:08:16.73
So it's about that many people.
00:08:16.76\00:08:18.93
We had volunteers
who did the cooking,
00:08:18.96\00:08:22.86
who were the girls' and boys'
00:08:22.90\00:08:25.70
deans to provide transportation.
00:08:25.73\00:08:30.94
So it was quite
a number of people.
00:08:30.97\00:08:34.08
Interestingly,
and viewers may know,
00:08:34.11\00:08:38.45
Donna McNeilus who was one
00:08:38.48\00:08:40.42
who was approached by
00:08:40.45\00:08:41.92
Pastor Torres
and Kim Busl asked,
00:08:41.95\00:08:44.02
"You know, could you come
in and cook for the events,
00:08:44.09\00:08:47.09
you know, for the process?"
00:08:47.16\00:08:49.86
And she said, "Well, I'll come
00:08:49.89\00:08:51.46
if I can bring my
children with me."
00:08:51.49\00:08:52.83
And I tell you,
00:08:52.86\00:08:54.20
she brought her
children with her
00:08:54.23\00:08:55.56
and they stayed
throughout their whole time
00:08:55.60\00:08:58.80
learning Youth for
Jesus, going to use for Jesus,
00:08:58.83\00:09:01.17
so and it made an incredible
difference in their lives.
00:09:01.20\00:09:04.34
Oh, amen.
00:09:04.37\00:09:05.71
So not just them,
but many of the youth.
00:09:05.74\00:09:08.14
So we've probably
baptized hundreds,
00:09:08.18\00:09:13.05
not just the people
who have come to the Youth
00:09:13.08\00:09:15.12
for Jesus evangelistic series,
but the youth are impacted.
00:09:15.15\00:09:20.86
Amen. So it's
been a real blessing.
00:09:20.89\00:09:23.53
We were... Oh, I
just wanted to say this.
00:09:23.56\00:09:26.26
Interestingly, that first
event that we had in Florida,
00:09:26.29\00:09:31.40
we actually held
evangelistic series
00:09:31.43\00:09:33.44
in a tent in Florida.
00:09:33.47\00:09:35.74
Yes.
00:09:35.77\00:09:37.11
And the speaker
was David Asscherick.
00:09:37.14\00:09:39.54
Oh.
00:09:39.57\00:09:40.91
So that was, you
know, his beginning.
00:09:40.98\00:09:42.64
Amen. Wow.
00:09:42.68\00:09:44.05
So we know David Asscherick
00:09:44.08\00:09:45.41
now is a mighty
warrior preaching for God.
00:09:45.45\00:09:46.92
Amen. Amen.
00:09:46.95\00:09:48.28
And he was an ASI
Youth for Jesus speaker.
00:09:48.32\00:09:51.19
Praise the Lord, how exciting.
00:09:51.22\00:09:53.12
So obviously, good seed
00:09:53.15\00:09:55.32
was sown early
in these children,
00:09:55.36\00:09:57.86
or these kids, or
these young adults' life.
00:09:57.89\00:10:01.40
Well. Yes, it did, definitely.
00:10:01.43\00:10:02.76
And you know, it is said
and it has proven to be true
00:10:02.80\00:10:07.77
over and over again.
00:10:07.80\00:10:09.24
We learn to
teach, we teach to learn.
00:10:09.27\00:10:14.18
You know, you
can learn something
00:10:14.21\00:10:15.88
and if you don't go out
00:10:15.91\00:10:17.45
and share it and
learn how to share it,
00:10:17.48\00:10:19.51
it's in the sharing that
it really gets deep into you.
00:10:19.55\00:10:23.89
Now, Pastor Atwood,
00:10:23.92\00:10:27.19
should I call
you pastor or Wilbur?
00:10:27.26\00:10:28.59
That's fine.
00:10:28.62\00:10:29.96
Okay, pastor, I was speaking
with your wife, Jeanette,
00:10:29.99\00:10:33.16
and she has that, she's
got a bubbly personality.
00:10:33.19\00:10:36.90
She said that it
took about three times
00:10:36.97\00:10:41.50
for people coming and asking.
00:10:41.54\00:10:43.17
It was the third invitation
for you to become involved,
00:10:43.20\00:10:46.68
that you became involved
in 2018 with Youth for Jesus.
00:10:46.71\00:10:50.85
What made you
decide finally to say yes?
00:10:50.88\00:10:54.32
Well, when I was first asked,
00:10:54.35\00:10:57.49
I was, you know,
in a stage of life
00:10:57.52\00:11:00.76
where I was cutting back
00:11:00.79\00:11:02.12
and I was still a
pastor of a small church,
00:11:02.16\00:11:06.53
but didn't really look forward
to more responsibilities.
00:11:06.56\00:11:12.10
And I never have
felt that my best gift
00:11:12.13\00:11:15.30
is in working with teenagers.
00:11:15.34\00:11:18.71
But Harold Lance is a
very persuasive person.
00:11:18.74\00:11:23.55
The third time they
asked me, he sat me down,
00:11:23.58\00:11:26.92
he said, "You
need to take that job."
00:11:26.95\00:11:30.62
And I respect Harold so much.
00:11:30.69\00:11:33.05
I said, "Okay, I'll try."
00:11:33.09\00:11:35.66
And so now I'm
really excited about it.
00:11:35.69\00:11:38.33
Praise God. You know, it's a...
00:11:38.36\00:11:40.40
And how long
have you been trying?
00:11:40.43\00:11:42.10
For he started in 2018. 2018?
00:11:42.13\00:11:44.43
That's, yeah,
that is so exciting.
00:11:44.47\00:11:47.34
Tell us a little
of the daily schedule
00:11:47.37\00:11:51.47
when the youth come
in, what is the program
00:11:51.51\00:11:55.38
that you're taking them through?
00:11:55.41\00:11:57.55
Well, the first
thing in the morning,
00:11:57.58\00:11:59.88
they have some time
for their own devotions
00:11:59.91\00:12:03.25
and we strongly
encourage them to do it.
00:12:03.28\00:12:07.16
In fact, this year,
most of our young people
00:12:07.19\00:12:10.53
already had
regular morning devotions.
00:12:10.56\00:12:13.90
Praise God.
00:12:13.93\00:12:15.26
And then we
begin with breakfast.
00:12:15.30\00:12:19.43
We don't try to start too early
00:12:19.47\00:12:21.60
because they're
often up late at night.
00:12:21.64\00:12:24.61
And then after
breakfast, we have our worship
00:12:24.64\00:12:29.61
or a class to get them started
00:12:29.64\00:12:32.98
with the learning process.
00:12:33.01\00:12:35.42
And then they go out
to do some evangelism,
00:12:35.45\00:12:39.35
maybe to pass out GLOW tracks,
00:12:39.39\00:12:42.16
or to go door to
door making surveys.
00:12:42.19\00:12:46.53
And then they come back
for dinner and after dinner,
00:12:46.56\00:12:51.80
of course, they get a
little break here and there,
00:12:51.83\00:12:54.44
after dinner...
00:12:54.47\00:12:55.80
And dinner being the lunch meal,
00:12:55.84\00:12:57.21
'cause you know,
00:12:57.24\00:12:58.57
it depends on what part
of the country you're from.
00:12:58.61\00:13:00.61
Dinner, some people
think of dinner is night,
00:13:00.68\00:13:03.38
the evening meal, but down south
00:13:03.45\00:13:05.78
they call it lunch too, okay.
00:13:05.81\00:13:07.15
Yeah, that's true.
00:13:07.22\00:13:09.02
So then in the
afternoon, they go out again.
00:13:09.05\00:13:14.39
We do have a break now and then
00:13:14.42\00:13:16.19
to do laundry and so on.
00:13:16.22\00:13:18.66
And once the meeting
start, then in the evening,
00:13:18.69\00:13:21.80
they're involved in all
aspects of the meetings.
00:13:21.83\00:13:25.20
So you're doing
community services,
00:13:25.23\00:13:27.84
you're doing
kind of the pre work
00:13:27.87\00:13:30.44
for an evangelism series.
00:13:30.51\00:13:32.44
Yes. And, and I
know it's exciting.
00:13:32.47\00:13:35.41
So we're going
to in just a moment,
00:13:35.44\00:13:38.55
we'll have two young
ladies who will be joining us,
00:13:38.58\00:13:41.65
one who, they're
sisters actually,
00:13:41.68\00:13:44.85
one was a speaker for
an evangelistic meeting
00:13:44.89\00:13:49.16
at the age of 16.
00:13:49.19\00:13:51.26
This is exciting.
00:13:51.29\00:13:52.76
And her sister who is
14 ran children's programs,
00:13:52.79\00:13:57.07
so that's exciting.
00:13:57.10\00:13:58.53
But just what did you
do and you were involved
00:13:58.57\00:14:02.84
in 2018 in Avon Park.
00:14:02.87\00:14:05.97
Is that correct?
Yes, we were involved.
00:14:06.01\00:14:07.91
Tell us how you
came to become involved
00:14:07.94\00:14:11.48
with Youth for Jesus?
00:14:11.51\00:14:13.55
Well, to begin with, my sister,
00:14:13.62\00:14:18.59
she was Youth for Jesus,
she joined Youth for Jesus
00:14:18.62\00:14:22.36
in 2013 I believe.
00:14:22.39\00:14:25.06
And then she told me about it.
00:14:25.09\00:14:26.43
I had it in my mind,
like, that sounds nice.
00:14:26.46\00:14:29.16
Like sounds like a good idea.
00:14:29.20\00:14:30.87
That's a nice experience.
00:14:30.90\00:14:32.70
And then that
year, Pastor Atwood,
00:14:32.73\00:14:35.07
he spoke in our church
when it's Friday night vespers,
00:14:35.10\00:14:38.61
and he was talking about like,
00:14:38.64\00:14:40.61
"Oh, so we will be
having Youth for Jesus,
00:14:40.68\00:14:43.01
they'll be starting again."
00:14:43.04\00:14:44.38
He was like
explaining the program
00:14:44.41\00:14:46.08
and then my mom was
like, "I think you should go."
00:14:46.11\00:14:49.42
But I was like,
"This summer I have plans."
00:14:49.45\00:14:52.95
I want to hang
out with my friends
00:14:52.99\00:14:54.49
'cause this will be
the little bit last time
00:14:54.52\00:14:56.42
I could have with
them 'cause a lot of them
00:14:56.46\00:14:58.73
were going off to
like different academies.
00:14:58.76\00:15:01.06
How old were you?
At that time I was 16.
00:15:01.10\00:15:05.37
Sixteen? Yes.
00:15:05.40\00:15:06.74
Okay. So my mom encouraged me.
00:15:06.77\00:15:09.20
She kept saying, "You
should go, you should go."
00:15:09.24\00:15:11.57
Like, all right. I'll go.
00:15:11.61\00:15:14.28
So I made the decision to go.
00:15:14.31\00:15:15.91
And then my mom,
00:15:15.94\00:15:17.28
she started trying to
ask other people like,
00:15:17.35\00:15:19.11
"Oh, you should go with Joseph,"
00:15:19.15\00:15:20.52
some of my friends
that I wanted to hang out
00:15:20.55\00:15:21.95
with that summer,
like you should hang out.
00:15:21.98\00:15:24.65
You know, you should
go to YFJ with Joseph.
00:15:24.69\00:15:27.26
It's a good
experience, you should do this.
00:15:27.29\00:15:29.76
And they're
sharing the experience
00:15:29.79\00:15:31.13
what we do and things.
00:15:31.16\00:15:33.33
And they're like, "All
right, that sounds nice."
00:15:33.40\00:15:36.20
And we were able...
00:15:36.23\00:15:38.03
My mom was able to convince
00:15:38.07\00:15:39.53
three other
friends to go with me.
00:15:39.57\00:15:40.94
Wonderful.
00:15:40.97\00:15:42.50
And there was no
space for them at first,
00:15:42.54\00:15:47.64
'cause though, there
wasn't that many spaces
00:15:47.68\00:15:52.05
for applications.
00:15:52.08\00:15:54.35
But then some dropped out,
00:15:54.38\00:15:55.95
and it made space
for some of them to come,
00:15:55.98\00:15:58.29
for more of us to come
so, and there was eight of us,
00:15:58.32\00:16:02.19
we started small,
it's like a family setting
00:16:02.22\00:16:04.49
Youth for Jesus program.
00:16:04.53\00:16:06.46
And yeah, that's
how I came to be there.
00:16:06.49\00:16:08.73
Okay, now, you
weren't, you didn't speak,
00:16:08.76\00:16:11.63
but you I understand
are very gifted pianist
00:16:11.67\00:16:17.04
and so your job
00:16:17.11\00:16:20.01
was kind of the
music coordinator
00:16:20.08\00:16:22.18
and the pianist for
the evangelistic series.
00:16:22.21\00:16:25.41
Tell us about that?
00:16:25.45\00:16:26.82
Yes, in the evangelistic series
00:16:26.85\00:16:28.62
since we had
meetings every night,
00:16:28.65\00:16:31.59
we would have, I
would have to arrange
00:16:31.62\00:16:33.25
the special
music's like the choristers
00:16:33.29\00:16:38.19
and who plays 'cause a lot of us
00:16:38.23\00:16:41.13
in the Youth for Jesus program
00:16:41.16\00:16:42.50
that year were musically gifted,
00:16:42.53\00:16:44.40
so it's a
blessing 'cause the ones
00:16:44.43\00:16:46.33
who could play the violin,
there are like four of them.
00:16:46.37\00:16:49.40
There's like,
there's some of them
00:16:49.44\00:16:50.81
can play the piano
and sing, so all was good.
00:16:50.84\00:16:54.21
We'd arrange it
but since our schedule
00:16:54.28\00:16:56.58
for the day was very busy,
00:16:56.61\00:16:57.95
we wouldn't have
much time to practice.
00:16:57.98\00:17:00.32
So for the evenings,
we'd come there like about
00:17:00.35\00:17:02.78
half an hour before
the program or an hour
00:17:02.82\00:17:05.55
and we'd practice together
00:17:05.59\00:17:07.39
and we arranged the
music for the program,
00:17:07.46\00:17:10.03
so I'll be playing
for like song service
00:17:10.06\00:17:12.29
or offering in
like the theme song.
00:17:12.33\00:17:14.90
Amen.
00:17:14.93\00:17:16.26
You know, people
should never underestimate
00:17:16.30\00:17:19.63
the power of music.
00:17:19.67\00:17:21.94
One of our camera
people here, Tammy Larson,
00:17:21.97\00:17:25.21
she's with a bluegrass.
00:17:25.24\00:17:28.48
She's a bluegrass
singer and beautiful singer.
00:17:28.51\00:17:31.98
But she did one sweet
little simple song on 3ABN once
00:17:32.01\00:17:36.55
and somebody called in,
00:17:36.58\00:17:38.65
they gave their heart to
the Lord during that song.
00:17:38.69\00:17:41.56
And sometimes music
can, I think that music
00:17:41.59\00:17:47.43
when God called us
to worship in music
00:17:47.50\00:17:49.83
and music's important to
Him, but music kind of plows up
00:17:49.86\00:17:54.27
the heart to make soft soil
to get the seed planted in it,
00:17:54.30\00:17:59.51
and it's such an important part.
00:17:59.54\00:18:02.51
Now, I just have
to ask you, how did,
00:18:02.54\00:18:07.78
how many nights did you all go?
00:18:07.82\00:18:10.89
Your evangelistic
series was how many nights?
00:18:10.92\00:18:14.16
It was about three weeks.
00:18:14.19\00:18:16.26
Three weeks! Okay.
00:18:16.29\00:18:19.09
Did you find that,
00:18:19.13\00:18:23.00
A, you had to rely on
the Lord and recognize that?
00:18:23.03\00:18:26.84
And B, just tell us
00:18:26.87\00:18:28.20
how did it impact you personally
00:18:28.24\00:18:30.97
and the friends
that came with you?
00:18:31.01\00:18:33.58
Well, it impacted me personally
00:18:33.61\00:18:36.04
because I made the
decision there to get baptized.
00:18:36.08\00:18:40.55
Glory to God. Thank you, Jesus.
00:18:40.62\00:18:42.95
So I made the decision there,
and a couple of my friends
00:18:42.98\00:18:47.09
made a decision
there to get baptized too.
00:18:47.16\00:18:50.86
So it was a
blessing and before YFJ,
00:18:50.93\00:18:54.73
I was like, I felt
like I'm getting older
00:18:54.76\00:18:56.90
and I just didn't
have that much motivation
00:18:56.97\00:18:59.03
like for school.
00:18:59.07\00:19:00.54
I felt my devotional
life, my life with God,
00:19:00.57\00:19:03.00
which is not as
where it should be.
00:19:03.04\00:19:07.18
And then I felt like I
wasn't focusing enough.
00:19:07.21\00:19:10.68
So, after like YFJ, for me,
00:19:10.75\00:19:13.35
it like, gave me
so much motivation
00:19:13.42\00:19:15.45
and what I learned
from it most was service.
00:19:15.48\00:19:18.75
Amen.
00:19:18.79\00:19:20.16
So I learned that
we're here to serve others
00:19:20.19\00:19:22.29
and to use what God has given us
00:19:22.32\00:19:24.13
like our talents to
use to serve others.
00:19:24.16\00:19:27.30
So during the
evangelistic series,
00:19:27.33\00:19:30.57
like listening to the
program, it made me like,
00:19:30.60\00:19:33.64
decide to get baptized,
and then when I got back,
00:19:33.67\00:19:36.60
I talked to my pastor,
and we were able to have
00:19:36.64\00:19:39.31
a baptism later on
in the year and for me,
00:19:39.34\00:19:42.81
it just, I don't know,
00:19:42.84\00:19:44.18
YFJ opened a lot of
opportunities for me,
00:19:44.25\00:19:47.12
gave me a lot of
motivation to like,
00:19:47.15\00:19:49.02
get my life back together
and my relationship with God.
00:19:49.05\00:19:51.69
Amen.
00:19:51.72\00:19:53.05
So yes, it was a
very good experience.
00:19:53.09\00:19:54.49
Amen.
00:19:54.52\00:19:56.29
And you met new
friends also, did you not?
00:19:56.32\00:19:58.86
Yes. Amen.
00:19:58.89\00:20:00.40
That year we had eight students,
00:20:00.43\00:20:03.60
and five of them got baptized
at the end of the program.
00:20:03.67\00:20:06.57
Wow. Praise the Lord.
00:20:06.60\00:20:07.94
And then how many,
00:20:07.97\00:20:09.40
for those who are
just attending, didn't you?
00:20:09.44\00:20:12.07
I think, what
did you say, Joseph,
00:20:12.11\00:20:13.91
17 were baptized at your series?
00:20:13.98\00:20:16.54
In total, like
after we heard from them
00:20:16.58\00:20:19.18
'cause they had from the
work of the Bible workers.
00:20:19.21\00:20:22.02
Yes.
00:20:22.05\00:20:23.39
And the rebaptism if
I'm correct, it's around 17.
00:20:23.42\00:20:28.22
Praise God. You
know, that's something...
00:20:28.26\00:20:32.09
That's an experience
00:20:32.13\00:20:33.93
that I wish I'm not one
00:20:34.00\00:20:38.50
to want to turn back
the hands of time too often.
00:20:38.53\00:20:41.77
But oh, what an
opportunity for the youth
00:20:41.80\00:20:45.24
to become involved
and be trained into...
00:20:45.27\00:20:49.34
It makes God real to them.
00:20:49.38\00:20:51.05
I wish something like that
been around when I was younger.
00:20:51.08\00:20:55.52
Well, I think that the key word
00:20:55.55\00:20:56.89
and I think that
we all have learned
00:20:56.92\00:20:58.45
this over a period
of time is service.
00:20:58.49\00:21:00.29
Amen.
00:21:00.36\00:21:01.69
And one thing, oh, I
don't want to do that again
00:21:01.72\00:21:04.23
or I don't want to do that,
00:21:04.26\00:21:05.59
I want to go
play here, whatever.
00:21:05.63\00:21:08.16
Whereas you're learning here
00:21:08.20\00:21:10.27
that He has
gifted each one of us,
00:21:10.30\00:21:12.70
we do have a desire
to make a difference,
00:21:12.73\00:21:15.54
a positive
difference in people's lives.
00:21:15.57\00:21:17.84
And if we had the
motivation to actually serve
00:21:17.87\00:21:22.18
to make someone
else's life easier
00:21:22.21\00:21:25.35
than getting better than that.
00:21:25.38\00:21:26.92
I mean, it's kind of
like, you're just blessed doubly
00:21:26.95\00:21:29.08
or triply or whatever.
00:21:29.12\00:21:31.05
But did you find that
service brought you real joy?
00:21:31.09\00:21:34.19
Yes. Amen.
00:21:34.26\00:21:35.79
You know, you go out
to be a blessing to others
00:21:35.82\00:21:38.79
and God blesses you
twice as much, doesn't He?
00:21:38.83\00:21:41.96
Amen. That's amazing.
00:21:42.00\00:21:44.87
Have you seen people,
00:21:44.90\00:21:46.84
young people
who were struggling,
00:21:46.87\00:21:51.97
Pastor, when they came,
maybe they were struggling?
00:21:52.01\00:21:55.54
And I think you kind of
alluded to that, Joseph,
00:21:55.58\00:21:58.31
that you were in
a spiritual desert
00:21:58.35\00:22:00.52
more or less.
00:22:00.55\00:22:01.88
So I'm sure you've seen
young, other young people
00:22:01.92\00:22:04.89
who've come
struggling and ended up
00:22:04.92\00:22:07.92
having a more
intimate relationship
00:22:07.96\00:22:10.13
with the Lord
because of their involvement.
00:22:10.16\00:22:12.43
Yes, we do seem to
gather young people
00:22:12.46\00:22:16.87
that they know better.
00:22:16.90\00:22:19.57
In other words, they
don't have the experience
00:22:19.60\00:22:22.07
that they know they should have.
00:22:22.10\00:22:25.14
And so they come hoping that
00:22:25.17\00:22:27.88
Youth for Jesus will
do something for them.
00:22:27.91\00:22:30.68
And it does, I mean, we can
see when they first come in,
00:22:30.75\00:22:35.92
that they are having
struggles and they're not always
00:22:35.95\00:22:39.32
as cooperative
as they should be.
00:22:39.35\00:22:42.82
But as the time goes on,
00:22:42.86\00:22:45.46
they start getting
more spiritually connected
00:22:45.49\00:22:48.03
and they really change.
00:22:48.06\00:22:49.53
Yeah.
00:22:49.56\00:22:50.90
How has it impacted
your life being involved?
00:22:50.97\00:22:54.27
Well, you know,
I've always loved working
00:22:54.30\00:22:58.07
with young people.
00:22:58.11\00:22:59.97
I think it keeps us young.
00:23:00.01\00:23:01.84
Amen. And so I enjoy that.
00:23:01.88\00:23:05.11
I didn't really think
this was my age group,
00:23:05.15\00:23:08.08
but there is a tremendous battle
00:23:08.12\00:23:11.52
for our youth today
through the cell phone.
00:23:11.55\00:23:15.69
And I started thinking,
you know, we can give them
00:23:15.72\00:23:20.50
something more
exciting than the cell phone,
00:23:20.53\00:23:23.37
if they can just
taste salvation of souls
00:23:23.40\00:23:27.24
that they won't be so
engrossed in that cell phone.
00:23:27.27\00:23:30.91
Amen and amen.
00:23:30.94\00:23:32.27
You know, I read something
the other day that said,
00:23:32.31\00:23:35.11
I believe it was
20% of millennial say
00:23:35.14\00:23:37.85
they had no friends.
00:23:37.88\00:23:40.12
And you know what
00:23:40.15\00:23:41.48
thought occurred to
me just now, listen,
00:23:41.52\00:23:43.49
if I can say we
don't sound too hokey.
00:23:43.52\00:23:46.12
People are on
Facebook all the time
00:23:46.15\00:23:49.69
and they're
artificially connected.
00:23:49.72\00:23:51.73
They're not, you
know, it's not just
00:23:51.76\00:23:54.30
because somebody's friendship,
00:23:54.33\00:23:55.80
but what we need to do
is turn our face to Him
00:23:55.83\00:23:58.47
and get this book.
00:23:58.50\00:24:00.87
That's the Facebook
time we really need.
00:24:00.94\00:24:03.81
So, you see, and rightly so,
00:24:03.84\00:24:08.28
that this
generation, we are losing kids.
00:24:08.31\00:24:14.12
Even the
attention span of youth,
00:24:14.15\00:24:18.72
it seems is kind of like,
00:24:18.75\00:24:21.26
it's like the
attention span of a hummingbird.
00:24:21.29\00:24:25.26
They go from one thing
to the next so quickly.
00:24:25.29\00:24:28.43
But you see a
dramatic change then at the end
00:24:28.46\00:24:31.53
of the four weeks.
00:24:31.57\00:24:32.90
Yes, and this year at ASI,
00:24:32.93\00:24:35.64
I had several come to me
00:24:35.67\00:24:39.07
and so I had been up front,
00:24:39.11\00:24:40.61
they recognized
me and they said,
00:24:40.68\00:24:43.45
I want you to know how much
00:24:43.48\00:24:45.81
Youth for Jesus changed my life
00:24:45.85\00:24:48.55
and put me in a
whole new direction.
00:24:48.58\00:24:50.49
Praise the Lord.
00:24:50.52\00:24:51.85
So that was very encouraging.
00:24:51.89\00:24:53.49
I've seen it for two years,
00:24:53.56\00:24:55.39
but to hear some of
the older ones come back
00:24:55.42\00:24:57.73
and say that is a blessing.
00:24:57.76\00:25:00.03
Yes, that is a blessing.
00:25:00.10\00:25:02.36
And what I
understand everything,
00:25:02.40\00:25:03.97
Debbie, is that, okay,
they're out working as a group,
00:25:04.00\00:25:08.00
as a youthful
group with leadership,
00:25:08.04\00:25:10.44
and they mature
and then they come back
00:25:10.51\00:25:14.28
and then they're catching
ASI just as it's picking up.
00:25:14.31\00:25:16.78
That's correct.
00:25:16.85\00:25:18.18
And now do they
have assignments then
00:25:18.21\00:25:19.68
so there's not
kind of like, well,
00:25:19.71\00:25:21.38
we just gone from
this and I go back home,
00:25:21.42\00:25:24.02
they'd be able to
continue to grow and learn.
00:25:24.09\00:25:26.02
Yes, they do.
00:25:26.05\00:25:27.39
So when they come to ASI,
00:25:27.46\00:25:28.79
so that's one of the benefits
00:25:28.82\00:25:30.53
because then they
get to participate
00:25:30.56\00:25:31.96
in the ASI Convention,
and the youth program
00:25:31.99\00:25:34.33
that's designed
for that age group.
00:25:34.36\00:25:37.00
And I think it's
something that reawakens
00:25:37.07\00:25:40.24
or awakens a
desire to share Christ
00:25:40.27\00:25:43.51
and to be little
ASIers when they go home.
00:25:43.54\00:25:46.41
We've had young people
00:25:46.44\00:25:47.78
who have gone
back to their school
00:25:47.81\00:25:49.84
and said we want to do
00:25:49.88\00:25:51.21
an evangelistic
program in our school,
00:25:51.25\00:25:52.95
and they have
organized an evangelist series
00:25:52.98\00:25:56.42
after the model of
ASI Youth for Jesus
00:25:56.45\00:25:58.79
based on their experience.
00:25:58.82\00:26:00.16
Amen.
00:26:00.19\00:26:01.52
We've had young
people who I remember,
00:26:01.56\00:26:03.36
Brian was telling me,
00:26:03.43\00:26:04.76
he was a young
person in my church
00:26:04.79\00:26:07.20
who had the
blessing of participating
00:26:07.23\00:26:08.70
in ASI Youth for Jesus.
00:26:08.73\00:26:10.57
And he says, he'd go out
00:26:10.60\00:26:11.93
and he'd be playing
ball with his friends
00:26:11.97\00:26:13.84
and somehow they'd be
talking about state of the dead.
00:26:13.87\00:26:16.37
How do young people
talk about state of the dead?
00:26:16.40\00:26:19.51
I like really, he says,
yeah, we were talking about this
00:26:19.54\00:26:22.71
and I said
myself, hold on a second,
00:26:22.74\00:26:24.41
he went back to his
car, and he had a Bible guide
00:26:24.45\00:26:27.62
about state of the dead,
00:26:27.65\00:26:28.98
that he gets
shared with his friends.
00:26:29.02\00:26:30.59
He said, but that
wouldn't have happened
00:26:30.62\00:26:32.35
had I not had Youth for Jesus.
00:26:32.39\00:26:34.16
Youth for Jesus helps you keep
sharing Christ on your mind.
00:26:34.19\00:26:38.53
Amen.
00:26:38.56\00:26:39.89
So in everything
that you're doing,
00:26:39.93\00:26:41.26
you're always thinking
about how you can share Christ.
00:26:41.30\00:26:43.70
Amen.
00:26:43.77\00:26:45.10
And, you know, the
good thing is that,
00:26:45.13\00:26:46.47
as you said, they go
that four weeks before,
00:26:46.50\00:26:49.14
then once they get
00:26:49.17\00:26:50.64
to the ASI
Convention actually starts,
00:26:50.71\00:26:53.48
they're either helping
00:26:53.51\00:26:54.84
with wonderful
children's program.
00:26:54.88\00:26:56.75
Right. Oh, stellar.
00:26:56.78\00:26:58.51
I mean, an anointed
children's program for all age.
00:26:58.55\00:27:02.18
What age group does Youth for...
00:27:02.22\00:27:05.35
Not Youth for
Jesus but for the ASI?
00:27:05.39\00:27:07.06
From the kindergarten.
00:27:07.09\00:27:08.42
Kindergarten up and amazing,
00:27:08.46\00:27:10.83
but then they sit
through the meetings
00:27:10.86\00:27:13.13
and they
participate with the youth.
00:27:13.16\00:27:15.83
It's really exciting.
00:27:15.86\00:27:17.40
Well, Honey, I know that
00:27:17.47\00:27:19.27
we've got a couple other guests
that we need to bring out.
00:27:19.30\00:27:22.07
So we want to do some music.
00:27:22.10\00:27:24.31
We know you love music,
00:27:24.34\00:27:26.21
and we've got some lovely ladies
00:27:26.24\00:27:28.28
from Tennessee and
they have beautiful voices.
00:27:28.31\00:27:32.48
Tell us who's
going to sing for us?
00:27:32.51\00:27:33.92
It's Message of Mercy.
00:27:33.95\00:27:35.85
That is the group
they're gonna be singing,
00:27:35.88\00:27:37.62
"Lift Your Eyes."
00:27:37.65\00:27:38.99
There is someone who sees
00:27:57.41\00:28:01.48
Someone who knows
00:28:01.51\00:28:04.48
All the sacrifice
and struggle Here below
00:28:04.51\00:28:11.62
When the future is unclean
00:28:11.65\00:28:15.26
And the road ahead is rough
00:28:15.29\00:28:19.09
Look beyond the darkness here
00:28:19.13\00:28:22.63
To the source of endless love
00:28:22.66\00:28:27.84
Lift your eyes unto the hills
00:28:27.87\00:28:34.71
And you will find
Your source of help
00:28:34.74\00:28:41.98
And place your
trust In the mighty God
00:28:42.02\00:28:49.42
For there is nobody else
00:28:49.46\00:28:54.43
When evil comes into your life
00:28:58.10\00:29:03.84
Lift your eyes, lift your eyes
00:29:03.91\00:29:10.05
Jesus knows your every need
00:29:24.56\00:29:28.26
He sees the tears you cried
00:29:28.30\00:29:32.63
He is your comfort In
the middle of the night
00:29:32.67\00:29:38.97
When your heart is feeling low
00:29:39.01\00:29:42.68
In a time of great despair
00:29:42.71\00:29:46.21
See beyond the pain you know
00:29:46.25\00:29:49.78
Look to heaven Share your prayer
00:29:49.82\00:29:54.82
Lift your eyes unto the hills
00:29:54.86\00:30:02.03
And you will find
Your source of help
00:30:02.06\00:30:09.37
Place your trust
In the mighty God
00:30:09.40\00:30:16.64
For there is
00:30:16.68\00:30:20.02
Nobody else
00:30:20.05\00:30:25.22
When evil comes into your life
00:30:25.25\00:30:31.13
Lift your eyes, lift your eyes
00:30:31.16\00:30:36.33
When you behold
00:30:39.90\00:30:42.94
A Savior above Savior above
00:30:42.97\00:30:47.64
He will make your heart sing
00:30:47.68\00:30:54.32
Find strength in Him
00:30:54.35\00:30:55.68
You will find strength in Him
00:30:55.72\00:30:57.79
You will rise above
00:30:57.82\00:31:01.52
All the empty
promises Of earthly beings
00:31:01.56\00:31:07.10
Lift your eyes unto the hills
00:31:11.23\00:31:18.44
And you will find
Your source of help
00:31:18.47\00:31:25.71
Raise your trust
In the mighty God
00:31:25.75\00:31:33.02
For there is nobody else
00:31:33.05\00:31:37.86
When evil comes into your life
00:31:41.53\00:31:47.70
Lift your eyes, lift your eyes
00:31:47.74\00:31:54.98
Lift your eyes
00:31:55.01\00:32:04.65
Well, needless to say,
00:32:17.70\00:32:19.03
we just love listening
to these precious ladies.
00:32:19.07\00:32:21.27
Oh, they're beautiful, you know,
00:32:21.30\00:32:23.30
on the outside
and on the inside.
00:32:23.34\00:32:24.94
Amen.
00:32:24.97\00:32:26.31
Well, we have two
new guests with us,
00:32:26.34\00:32:28.14
and we're very excited to
have these two young ladies.
00:32:28.18\00:32:31.75
And you all are sisters, right?
00:32:31.78\00:32:33.72
So it's Judith Martin. Yes.
00:32:33.75\00:32:36.12
And then we have
your sister Edith,
00:32:36.15\00:32:38.35
and we just want to
thank you for joining us.
00:32:38.39\00:32:41.06
And you know,
00:32:41.09\00:32:42.42
I failed to mention
in the very beginning
00:32:42.46\00:32:44.76
that Evan Fox
00:32:44.79\00:32:46.46
who is the ASI Youth for
Jesus on-site coordinator.
00:32:46.49\00:32:52.40
He's kind of a driving force
00:32:52.43\00:32:55.80
was supposed to be on
the program with us today,
00:32:55.84\00:32:59.77
but had a family
emergency and couldn't be here.
00:32:59.81\00:33:03.35
So, we're gonna start
with you, young ladies.
00:33:03.38\00:33:07.32
Tell us how old were you,
00:33:07.35\00:33:11.15
you were a speaker, Judith.
00:33:11.19\00:33:14.06
How old were you
when you conducted
00:33:14.09\00:33:17.03
your evangelism series?
00:33:17.06\00:33:18.59
I was 16. Sixteen years old.
00:33:18.63\00:33:22.46
So how did you get
to ASI Youth for Jesus?
00:33:22.50\00:33:27.14
So we signed up,
we volunteered to do
00:33:27.17\00:33:31.31
the ASI Youth for Jesus program.
00:33:31.34\00:33:33.48
Was this something
your parents want you to do?
00:33:33.51\00:33:35.21
Or is it somebody you'd
heard about and wanted to do?
00:33:35.24\00:33:36.58
Well, we wanted to do it
00:33:36.61\00:33:38.15
and our parents
wanted us to do it, so yes.
00:33:38.18\00:33:40.92
Amen.
00:33:40.95\00:33:42.28
Actually Judith
wanted to come last year,
00:33:42.32\00:33:44.82
but she got
hindered from coming.
00:33:44.85\00:33:47.39
Yes. Okay. All right.
00:33:47.46\00:33:49.22
So you, when you sign up
00:33:49.26\00:33:53.06
for the group, and you go,
00:33:53.09\00:33:57.47
what's the process of selection
for whose gonna do speaking?
00:33:57.50\00:34:00.94
Did you say, "Hey, I
want to be a speaker?"
00:34:00.97\00:34:03.17
How that worked?
00:34:03.20\00:34:04.54
Yes, I
volunteered to be a speaker.
00:34:04.57\00:34:07.58
And I put it as my first choice.
00:34:07.61\00:34:11.05
So they did select me.
00:34:11.08\00:34:12.81
So that was
something you wanted to do.
00:34:12.85\00:34:15.35
Yes.
00:34:15.38\00:34:16.72
What did this
experience do for you?
00:34:16.79\00:34:21.39
I think it really showed
me how to put my dependence
00:34:21.42\00:34:25.43
on God 100%.
00:34:25.46\00:34:26.80
Amen.
00:34:26.83\00:34:28.16
And it showed me how
important service is,
00:34:28.20\00:34:31.30
how important
it is to serve God,
00:34:31.33\00:34:33.84
and it really is an
enjoyable experience
00:34:33.87\00:34:37.71
to serve God.
00:34:37.74\00:34:39.07
So what about
the learning process
00:34:39.11\00:34:41.18
'cause you spoke
every other night?
00:34:41.21\00:34:43.88
How many times did
you speak, 12 times?
00:34:43.95\00:34:45.61
I spoke six times.
00:34:45.65\00:34:47.02
Six times, okay,
every other night.
00:34:47.05\00:34:49.98
What was the learning
process for you, like,
00:34:50.02\00:34:54.86
as far as getting
into the Word and...?
00:34:54.89\00:34:57.93
So we, Mr. Evan
Fox handed us our notes
00:34:57.96\00:35:01.36
probably a week before.
00:35:01.40\00:35:03.00
We spoke, and we had to
do two sermons per weekend.
00:35:03.03\00:35:07.54
So I would start
on the first sermon,
00:35:07.57\00:35:09.60
and he would give us the slides,
00:35:09.64\00:35:10.97
we would look over the notes.
00:35:11.01\00:35:12.34
But what I would do is I
would go and go to the Bible,
00:35:12.37\00:35:15.98
and I will read the verses.
00:35:16.01\00:35:18.05
But more of what
I did was praying.
00:35:18.08\00:35:21.18
I would go into the room
00:35:21.22\00:35:22.65
and I would kneel down and pray,
00:35:22.68\00:35:24.65
said, "Lord, please help me,
00:35:24.69\00:35:26.09
I know that even if
I learned these notes,
00:35:26.12\00:35:28.09
I cannot do it without You."
00:35:28.12\00:35:29.52
Amen. Amen.
00:35:29.56\00:35:31.63
Did it become, you
know, I mentioned earlier,
00:35:31.66\00:35:34.76
I don't know if
you got to listen
00:35:34.80\00:35:36.43
to the first
half of the program.
00:35:36.46\00:35:38.33
But I've always
found that as I'm learning,
00:35:38.37\00:35:43.04
I know that God wants us
00:35:43.07\00:35:44.94
as they say you
learned to teach,
00:35:44.97\00:35:46.98
but you teach to learn.
00:35:47.01\00:35:48.41
Did you find that
as you were preparing
00:35:48.44\00:35:52.21
and then delivering
00:35:52.25\00:35:54.32
these wonderful
evangelism messages,
00:35:54.35\00:35:57.59
did it become more real to you?
00:35:57.62\00:35:59.55
Yes.
00:35:59.59\00:36:00.96
When I was
studying for the messages,
00:36:00.99\00:36:02.79
I think that was
more enjoyable for me.
00:36:02.82\00:36:05.73
And I felt like,
00:36:05.76\00:36:07.30
I felt more
enlightened on the subject.
00:36:07.33\00:36:09.56
I did not want to go
and just read a script
00:36:09.60\00:36:12.63
on the platform.
00:36:12.67\00:36:14.04
I wanted to say
it from the heart
00:36:14.07\00:36:16.91
and I felt that I could
connect with the people more.
00:36:16.94\00:36:21.11
And so, I really felt that
00:36:21.14\00:36:23.35
when I studied
for these sermons,
00:36:23.38\00:36:25.01
it was like a Bible study.
00:36:25.05\00:36:26.65
Yeah, it really
was, and I enjoyed it.
00:36:26.72\00:36:28.65
Amen, Judith, there's, to me,
00:36:28.68\00:36:30.69
there's nothing better
than a deep Bible study.
00:36:30.72\00:36:34.39
Yeah.
00:36:34.42\00:36:35.76
And really knowing that
you know, that you know.
00:36:35.79\00:36:38.53
Well, go ahead.
00:36:38.56\00:36:39.89
So let me ask, okay,
so we've gone through
00:36:39.93\00:36:42.16
Youth for Jesus, we've
gone through this period.
00:36:42.20\00:36:44.57
Have you had an opportunity
to do another one yet?
00:36:44.60\00:36:47.44
Another series or
maybe a program at church?
00:36:47.47\00:36:52.17
Yes, me and my sister are
very involved in our church
00:36:52.21\00:36:55.31
and we're, we like
to do, we like to work
00:36:55.34\00:36:58.08
with the youth in our church.
00:36:58.11\00:36:59.45
We do singing and all that.
00:36:59.48\00:37:01.62
And we probably will
do a series in the future.
00:37:01.65\00:37:04.59
Amen. Praise God.
00:37:04.62\00:37:06.52
Judith told me that
she really was hoping
00:37:06.55\00:37:10.96
she could speak.
00:37:10.99\00:37:12.83
But when she got
there, she got really scared.
00:37:12.86\00:37:17.07
Well, you know, that's,
00:37:17.10\00:37:18.70
you're stepping
outside of your comfort zone.
00:37:18.73\00:37:21.27
This is something totally new.
00:37:21.30\00:37:22.97
But I guarantee you,
you'll get to the point.
00:37:23.00\00:37:25.21
One thing I just
have to say this.
00:37:25.24\00:37:28.74
The first time I
was ever on television
00:37:28.78\00:37:31.38
for the Lord, it
was a different network.
00:37:31.41\00:37:33.65
And I remember that
I had really long hair
00:37:33.72\00:37:37.95
and I had it all done
up and I got out there
00:37:37.99\00:37:40.46
and the lighting was for
the host was really short
00:37:40.49\00:37:44.66
and cast horrible
shadows all over my face.
00:37:44.69\00:37:47.93
I looked 10 years older.
00:37:47.96\00:37:49.63
I looked up in the
monitor and I thought,
00:37:49.66\00:37:51.83
who is this old hag.
00:37:51.87\00:37:53.67
And you know what?
00:37:53.74\00:37:55.07
I heard the still
small voice of the Lord say,
00:37:55.10\00:37:58.84
crucify that thought.
00:37:58.87\00:38:00.58
This is not about
you, it's about Me.
00:38:00.61\00:38:04.08
And so I've learned
that when I'm nervous,
00:38:04.15\00:38:07.78
it means my focus is
still kind of, you know,
00:38:07.82\00:38:10.69
once you got out there
00:38:10.72\00:38:12.42
and your focus was
totally on the Lord,
00:38:12.45\00:38:14.42
I bet those nerves
were completely gone,
00:38:14.46\00:38:16.42
weren't they?
00:38:16.46\00:38:17.79
Mm-hmm. Amen.
00:38:17.83\00:38:19.16
Before I went up to speak
the first time, I did have a...
00:38:19.19\00:38:22.66
I was very scared.
00:38:22.70\00:38:24.40
I was so excited at
first, but as soon as you see
00:38:24.43\00:38:26.97
the people coming in,
you feel a little bit scared.
00:38:27.04\00:38:30.11
And I remember
praying and I opened the Bible
00:38:30.14\00:38:32.31
to Jeremiah 1:6, where it
said, say not I'm a child,
00:38:32.34\00:38:36.24
for I will give you the
words to speak said the Lord.
00:38:36.28\00:38:38.01
Amen.
00:38:38.05\00:38:39.38
And I remember just thinking,
wow, God is with me in this,
00:38:39.41\00:38:43.82
God has called me to do this.
00:38:43.89\00:38:45.25
Amen.
00:38:45.29\00:38:46.62
So I did not see the people
as people, I saw them as souls.
00:38:46.65\00:38:50.73
Amen, Judith.
00:38:50.76\00:38:52.09
Boy, the Lord
is going to use you
00:38:52.13\00:38:54.13
in a mighty way.
00:38:54.20\00:38:55.53
I already know that.
00:38:55.56\00:38:57.17
His anointing is
on you, and praise God
00:38:57.20\00:38:59.73
that you're
taking this as seriously
00:38:59.77\00:39:04.97
as you are in developing
this intimate connection
00:39:05.01\00:39:08.44
to the Lord.
00:39:08.48\00:39:09.81
Well, down on the very end
here we have your sister Edith,
00:39:09.84\00:39:15.05
and Edith has
such a sweet smile.
00:39:15.08\00:39:17.82
Edith, tell us what you did
and at the ASI Youth for Jesus,
00:39:17.85\00:39:23.46
and how old were you?
00:39:23.53\00:39:27.53
I was in charge of
the kids' programs,
00:39:27.60\00:39:30.80
and I was 14 years old.
00:39:30.87\00:39:32.43
You are 14 in charge of
the children's programs.
00:39:32.47\00:39:34.77
Tell us what
that meant, entailed?
00:39:34.80\00:39:39.44
So we had to plan out.
00:39:39.47\00:39:43.24
I also, me and another
one of our leaders Miss Kim,
00:39:43.28\00:39:46.82
we had to plan out
the snacks for the kids
00:39:46.85\00:39:49.32
according to every night's theme
00:39:49.35\00:39:52.05
and the activities, the lessons,
00:39:52.09\00:39:56.93
and one night we had
forgotten to plan the snacks.
00:39:56.96\00:40:02.93
And the next day we had
no idea what we're gonna do.
00:40:02.96\00:40:06.74
It was about, I
think it was about
00:40:06.77\00:40:09.87
the Second Coming.
00:40:09.90\00:40:12.11
And we didn't know what to
do and we're praying about it.
00:40:12.14\00:40:16.08
My head had been hurting.
00:40:16.11\00:40:18.11
And then right
then the other person
00:40:18.15\00:40:22.58
in charge Miss Shadia,
00:40:22.62\00:40:24.69
she was in charge
of all the supplies.
00:40:24.72\00:40:26.96
She comes in, she says,
"I have everything planned."
00:40:26.99\00:40:29.52
And that was the only day
she had everything planned.
00:40:29.56\00:40:33.53
And I was like,
"Lord, thank you so much."
00:40:33.60\00:40:36.60
Amen.
00:40:36.67\00:40:38.00
And the children were like,
00:40:38.03\00:40:40.94
young, most of
the kids were young.
00:40:40.97\00:40:42.77
Huh?
00:40:42.80\00:40:44.14
How young is
young? Like six and under.
00:40:44.21\00:40:48.01
Six and under.
00:40:48.04\00:40:49.38
So these are children
00:40:49.41\00:40:50.75
who have come with their parents
00:40:50.78\00:40:52.31
to the evangelistic series
00:40:52.35\00:40:54.02
and you had a
special program for them.
00:40:54.05\00:40:56.72
You know, I don't
know if there's...
00:40:56.79\00:40:58.72
I hope this
doesn't sound sacrilegious
00:40:58.75\00:41:00.86
but when you said
00:41:00.89\00:41:02.22
preparing snacks
for the second coming,
00:41:02.26\00:41:04.43
I thought well, leftovers.
00:41:04.46\00:41:05.79
No.
00:41:05.83\00:41:07.93
Okay, so when you
prepared the program,
00:41:07.96\00:41:13.47
you were also like
crafts and activities.
00:41:13.54\00:41:16.47
Tell us, were the
kids cooperative with you?
00:41:16.50\00:41:19.84
I mean, you're pretty young
00:41:19.87\00:41:21.21
and you've got
those young babies.
00:41:21.24\00:41:23.55
So it was hard to
keep their attention.
00:41:23.58\00:41:26.55
They wanted to
run around and play.
00:41:26.58\00:41:28.65
So I went in dressed up
00:41:28.68\00:41:31.02
in this
butterfly costume and it,
00:41:31.05\00:41:34.49
like, with all
the wings and stuff
00:41:34.52\00:41:36.83
and antennae like a headband.
00:41:36.86\00:41:39.36
Yeah. And they loved it.
00:41:39.39\00:41:40.73
Amen.
00:41:40.80\00:41:42.13
So some kids thought
I was the Holy Spirit.
00:41:42.16\00:41:45.00
And it was a lot of
fun entertaining them.
00:41:45.03\00:41:47.64
So what were you doing
00:41:47.67\00:41:49.00
when you came out
with that costume?
00:41:49.04\00:41:50.81
Did you paused the
video and talk about...?
00:41:50.84\00:41:54.54
Yeah. What was going on?
00:41:54.58\00:41:56.41
I had to walk in a certain way
and talk in high pitched voice
00:41:56.44\00:42:01.02
and they really paid
attention after that.
00:42:01.05\00:42:02.92
Amen. Yeah.
00:42:02.95\00:42:04.29
Amen, you're very clever.
00:42:04.32\00:42:06.12
Yeah. Good.
00:42:06.15\00:42:07.92
So how did it impact you,
00:42:07.96\00:42:13.73
Edith, being
involved with these kids,
00:42:13.80\00:42:17.27
teaching them, did you find that
00:42:17.30\00:42:19.03
as you were teaching them,
00:42:19.07\00:42:20.44
it was getting
deeper into your spirit too?
00:42:20.47\00:42:23.24
Yeah, it taught me.
00:42:23.27\00:42:26.51
I also learned a lot from there.
00:42:26.54\00:42:28.24
It taught me how our
parents worked hard to teach us.
00:42:28.28\00:42:33.01
They had patience of the saints.
00:42:33.05\00:42:35.35
And it also taught me that
you can reach out to others.
00:42:35.38\00:42:40.66
Tell them about the love of
God in the most simplest ways.
00:42:40.69\00:42:43.93
Amen. Most simple ways.
00:42:43.96\00:42:46.36
Amen.
00:42:46.39\00:42:47.73
You know something,
Judith, I want to ask you about
00:42:47.76\00:42:50.67
because we've seen
over the past years,
00:42:50.70\00:42:54.37
I guess we've been
going to ASI since 2003,
00:42:54.40\00:42:58.67
at least each year.
00:42:58.71\00:43:00.51
And it seems that
when the Youth for Jesus
00:43:00.58\00:43:06.08
is involved in a church,
00:43:06.11\00:43:08.72
it's not just
impacting the youth.
00:43:08.75\00:43:11.65
It's not just
impacting the people who attend.
00:43:11.69\00:43:16.22
But it really has a major impact
00:43:16.26\00:43:19.56
on the churches that hosted.
00:43:19.59\00:43:21.86
Did you see that in your
church where the people revived?
00:43:21.90\00:43:24.73
Yes, they were.
00:43:24.77\00:43:26.10
They were so happy,
they were so revived.
00:43:26.13\00:43:28.90
The pastor was just so happy
00:43:28.94\00:43:31.61
that this entire
evangelistic series was going
00:43:31.64\00:43:35.11
and the church was so supportive
00:43:35.14\00:43:37.15
of the entire event,
00:43:37.18\00:43:39.58
and I was so
happy to see everyone
00:43:39.61\00:43:43.39
just cooperating with us.
00:43:43.42\00:43:45.02
They were all
helping us with the people,
00:43:45.05\00:43:47.66
the children, and the church.
00:43:47.69\00:43:50.53
I remember near the end,
00:43:50.56\00:43:52.43
a lady comes up
to me and she had...
00:43:52.46\00:43:54.70
She was crying.
00:43:54.73\00:43:56.06
She said, "You do not know
what you did for our church."
00:43:56.10\00:43:58.73
Praise God.
00:43:58.77\00:44:00.14
"You do not know
what you have done for us,
00:44:00.17\00:44:01.87
and we cannot wait to do more
00:44:01.90\00:44:05.47
of this
initiative in the future."
00:44:05.51\00:44:07.64
Praise the Lord. Yes.
00:44:07.68\00:44:09.01
You know, I'll tell you what,
you can quote this verbatim.
00:44:09.04\00:44:14.12
I'm sure pastor,
an army of youth,
00:44:14.15\00:44:17.49
rightly trained.
00:44:17.52\00:44:18.85
Rightly trained.
00:44:18.89\00:44:20.36
That's what's gonna
help finish the work
00:44:20.39\00:44:22.06
because, you know, when you see,
00:44:22.09\00:44:24.23
there are people who are like,
00:44:24.26\00:44:26.63
I don't know about
giving a Bible study.
00:44:26.70\00:44:29.16
I've never done that before.
00:44:29.20\00:44:30.57
What if somebody asks
a question, I don't know,
00:44:30.60\00:44:32.87
or I don't know
if I could do this,
00:44:32.90\00:44:35.07
but when you see
youth come out into it,
00:44:35.10\00:44:38.51
you realize, if
someone's got a willing heart,
00:44:38.54\00:44:44.05
God can use them.
00:44:44.08\00:44:45.51
Now, we want to tell people
how they can become involved
00:44:45.55\00:44:49.35
with ASI Youth for Jesus.
00:44:49.38\00:44:51.82
Your website is
00:44:51.85\00:44:53.76
ASIYouthForJesus.org.
00:44:53.79\00:44:58.93
What's on that website?
00:44:58.96\00:45:01.20
There they can see
some videos of the past
00:45:01.23\00:45:05.70
of what has gone on.
00:45:05.73\00:45:07.70
They can make an
application to be a part
00:45:07.74\00:45:11.37
and we will be opening
that soon for next year.
00:45:11.41\00:45:16.24
And they can see a little bit
00:45:16.28\00:45:19.61
about what the
program teaches them.
00:45:19.65\00:45:22.62
Amen. Amen.
00:45:22.65\00:45:24.42
And I think you
brought some pictures
00:45:24.45\00:45:27.39
that we wanted to show
because we want to show you
00:45:27.46\00:45:30.73
how much it's a fun
time, a wholesome time.
00:45:30.76\00:45:35.73
And we just really, you know,
you never know this young lady
00:45:35.76\00:45:39.97
could become the
next David Asscherick.
00:45:40.04\00:45:42.94
Judith, you know,
because he started there.
00:45:42.97\00:45:45.97
Who is this?
00:45:46.01\00:45:47.88
This is Dillon, and he
was one of the speakers
00:45:47.91\00:45:53.08
at the Louisville First Church.
00:45:53.11\00:45:56.02
So you did two
different churches.
00:45:56.05\00:45:57.82
Yes. Okay.
00:45:57.85\00:45:59.19
Judith, how many
people were baptized?
00:45:59.22\00:46:00.89
Okay. Is this your church?
00:46:00.96\00:46:02.32
No, this was in Avon Park.
00:46:02.36\00:46:04.53
This one is 2018 in Avon Park...
00:46:04.56\00:46:08.96
All right. In Florida.
00:46:09.00\00:46:10.87
And we know there
were 17 baptized from that.
00:46:10.90\00:46:13.07
And this is?
00:46:13.10\00:46:14.44
This is Dillon and Judith,
standing beside the picture
00:46:14.47\00:46:18.87
that showed the
program we're running.
00:46:18.91\00:46:21.81
Oh, Keys to Bible Prophecy.
00:46:21.84\00:46:23.48
That's good. And
here's some of the team.
00:46:23.55\00:46:28.45
Not sure exactly where that
is. And what's going on here?
00:46:28.48\00:46:33.99
We did some
community service projects,
00:46:34.06\00:46:37.96
and this one was
fixing up a playground,
00:46:37.99\00:46:41.03
repainting the equipment.
00:46:41.06\00:46:43.57
How wonderful.
00:46:43.60\00:46:45.53
This is a group
picture I believe was
00:46:45.57\00:46:47.44
when they went to the bridge.
You want to say something?
00:46:47.47\00:46:49.27
And I want to mention something
00:46:49.30\00:46:51.57
when we went to
the Natural Bridge,
00:46:51.61\00:46:53.58
it was a very beautiful place.
00:46:53.61\00:46:55.54
And we witnessed there, we
gathered around in a circle
00:46:55.58\00:46:59.58
and we started
singing How great Thou Art
00:46:59.61\00:47:02.38
in the scenic view
and people around us,
00:47:02.42\00:47:07.49
the other people
that were around us,
00:47:07.56\00:47:08.92
they started singing along too.
00:47:08.96\00:47:10.93
And we sang a few hymns there
00:47:10.96\00:47:12.79
and it was a great
witnessing thing that we did.
00:47:12.83\00:47:16.50
Amen and amen.
00:47:16.53\00:47:18.93
Well, so I'm sure
you would encourage
00:47:18.97\00:47:23.51
any youth that's watching,
00:47:23.54\00:47:27.01
get involved in
serving the Lord.
00:47:27.08\00:47:30.85
There's so many things
00:47:30.88\00:47:32.21
that we can do that
if you just and parents,
00:47:32.25\00:47:37.39
if you don't know
what to do with your kids
00:47:37.42\00:47:40.49
to really get them
on fire for the Lord,
00:47:40.56\00:47:43.02
you might consider sending
them to the ASI Youth for Jesus.
00:47:43.06\00:47:48.13
Essentially,
there is a tuition fee
00:47:48.16\00:47:50.37
that covers their...
00:47:50.40\00:47:53.00
I don't know if it's tuition fee
00:47:53.03\00:47:54.87
but it covers their...
00:47:54.90\00:47:57.94
Room and board.
00:47:57.97\00:47:59.31
Room and board
while they're there
00:47:59.34\00:48:00.68
for those four weeks.
00:48:00.71\00:48:02.04
And that's, was 700
last year, that's about?
00:48:02.08\00:48:04.88
That's correct.
00:48:04.91\00:48:06.25
And you know,
every penny of that goes
00:48:06.28\00:48:09.18
for room and board and more.
00:48:09.22\00:48:11.72
How much did it cost to
do the 2019 Youth for Jesus,
00:48:11.75\00:48:15.72
the program?
00:48:15.76\00:48:17.13
Well, we're still
doing the accounting
00:48:17.16\00:48:18.49
but I expect it to be between
00:48:18.53\00:48:20.60
and 100,000 overall cost.
00:48:20.63\00:48:22.06
Okay.
00:48:22.10\00:48:23.57
Well, and so this is, you know,
00:48:23.60\00:48:27.04
the fee that you pay is
it covers the room and board
00:48:27.07\00:48:30.84
while they're there, but
what they are exposed to,
00:48:30.91\00:48:34.38
what they're trained to do.
00:48:34.41\00:48:35.91
You can once
again, the website is
00:48:35.94\00:48:40.22
ASIYouthForJesus.org.
00:48:40.25\00:48:46.89
And if you want to
email and talk to the pastor
00:48:53.90\00:48:58.70
or get some information,
00:48:58.73\00:49:00.84
it is
ASIYouthForJesus@gmail.com.
00:49:00.87\00:49:07.74
So this is something that
what would you say, Judith,
00:49:07.78\00:49:12.95
to young people
who might be watching
00:49:12.98\00:49:14.95
and think, I don't know.
00:49:14.98\00:49:18.45
I would want to
say, it's not about, oh,
00:49:18.49\00:49:22.76
I'm not going to be able
to have fun for the summer
00:49:22.79\00:49:25.96
because it was fun.
00:49:25.99\00:49:27.60
When you're doing God's
work, you will have fun,
00:49:27.63\00:49:30.50
and you will feel blessed.
00:49:30.57\00:49:31.90
It was a
rewarding experience for me.
00:49:31.93\00:49:34.14
At first I was like,
but you know, afterwards,
00:49:34.17\00:49:37.77
I don't regret it.
00:49:37.81\00:49:39.24
I really enjoyed the experience.
00:49:39.27\00:49:41.31
It has done much
for me, personally.
00:49:41.34\00:49:43.88
In fact, you can't
wait to do it again.
00:49:43.95\00:49:46.38
Huh? Yes.
00:49:46.41\00:49:47.98
You know, that's like Joseph
00:49:48.02\00:49:49.35
who was on in the
earlier part of the program.
00:49:49.38\00:49:52.25
He was also saying that
he just wanted to hang out
00:49:52.29\00:49:56.49
with his family
or with his friends
00:49:56.52\00:49:59.63
for this summer,
00:49:59.66\00:50:01.00
but when he got there,
it brought him true joy.
00:50:01.03\00:50:04.73
And are you ready to
go back again too, Edith?
00:50:04.77\00:50:08.07
Sure. Yeah, you can't.
00:50:08.10\00:50:10.01
It is, it's a joyful thing.
00:50:10.04\00:50:12.04
And I'm sure, Pastor,
you're finding out that
00:50:12.07\00:50:15.28
although you thought the
age group of young people
00:50:15.31\00:50:18.48
was that you enjoyed
with the college age,
00:50:18.51\00:50:21.45
you've fallen in love
00:50:21.48\00:50:22.82
with these younger teenage kids.
00:50:22.85\00:50:25.15
The kind of young people
that come are very wonderful
00:50:25.19\00:50:28.76
to work with.
00:50:28.79\00:50:30.13
We're enjoying it
very much. Amen and amen.
00:50:30.16\00:50:33.33
Honey, did you have a
parting thought or question?
00:50:33.40\00:50:35.73
Well, no, I was
just thinking I'm...
00:50:35.76\00:50:37.37
It saddens me that Janette
couldn't be out here with us
00:50:37.40\00:50:40.57
'cause, you know,
she's just equally as on fire
00:50:40.64\00:50:43.84
as everyone else, and
she had a big part to play.
00:50:43.91\00:50:48.14
So maybe next time
we'll be able to have her.
00:50:48.18\00:50:50.98
We just need
more chairs, anyway.
00:50:51.01\00:50:53.95
Yeah.
00:50:54.02\00:50:55.82
This is a wonderful opportunity.
00:50:55.85\00:50:57.72
I know that if we had children,
00:50:57.75\00:50:59.09
we certainly would
love to be involved.
00:50:59.12\00:51:01.59
You know, I was
sitting in the fellowship hall
00:51:01.62\00:51:05.89
and these young people got up
00:51:05.93\00:51:08.33
and they started
helping to clean.
00:51:08.36\00:51:09.76
Amen.
00:51:09.80\00:51:11.13
And the lady
sitting behind me said,
00:51:11.17\00:51:14.87
"These young
people are amazing."
00:51:14.90\00:51:16.71
Amen.
00:51:16.74\00:51:18.17
You know, young
people who are on fire
00:51:18.21\00:51:19.84
for Jesus are amazing.
00:51:19.87\00:51:22.21
And we want to
encourage you once again,
00:51:22.24\00:51:25.08
get your youth involved
with ASI Youth for Jesus.
00:51:25.11\00:51:29.35
You can go to their
website, ASIYouthForJesus.org.
00:51:29.38\00:51:36.12
And on that
website, you will find videos
00:51:36.16\00:51:40.33
what has happened in the past,
00:51:40.40\00:51:43.13
you'll find the next assignment
00:51:43.16\00:51:45.97
or the next program
that will be happening,
00:51:46.00\00:51:48.27
and you will have information
