let's have a
little bit of music.
00:01:35.86\00:01:39.09
Message of
Mercy is going to sing
00:01:39.13\00:01:41.56
"Total Praise."
00:01:41.60\00:01:43.20
Lord, I will lift

00:02:14.86\00:02:20.74
In time of the storm
00:02:20.77\00:02:26.04
You are the
source Of my strength
00:02:29.28\00:02:36.48

00:03:22.16\00:03:27.64
Thank you, Message of Mercy.
00:03:35.38\00:03:37.05
I love that song. Amen.
00:03:37.08\00:03:39.31
I've heard that
song for so many years
00:03:39.35\00:03:41.15
and it always kind of
transports me, you know,
00:03:41.18\00:03:43.69
you just wanna lift
your hands in total praise.
00:03:43.72\00:03:45.75

00:03:47.49\00:03:52.43
I mean... Amen.
00:03:52.46\00:03:53.80
He has been doing
some amazing things.
00:03:53.83\00:03:55.73
Let me introduce
you to our viewers.
00:03:55.76\00:03:57.90
Dr. Lela Gilbert.
00:03:57.93\00:04:00.34
You are the Medical
Director for AWR360 Health.
00:04:00.37\00:04:05.01
Welcome. Thank
you. Nice to be here.
00:04:05.04\00:04:06.68
Oh, it's so good to have you.
00:04:06.71\00:04:08.88
And then Pastor Kyle Allen,
00:04:08.91\00:04:10.68
you're the Vice President
of Adventist World Radio.
00:04:10.75\00:04:13.18
It's good to be here.
00:04:13.21\00:04:14.55
And then Hadassah Lewis,
00:04:14.58\00:04:17.59
the Collegiate Representative
for AWR360 Health.
00:04:17.62\00:04:21.86
Thank you. Welcome
to all three of you.
00:04:21.89\00:04:23.83
Thank you. It's
great to be here.
00:04:23.86\00:04:25.19
So good to be
here. We love 3ABN.
00:04:25.23\00:04:26.80
Amen. Oh, we love having you.
00:04:26.83\00:04:28.93
So tell us first of
all, what is AWR360 Health?
00:04:28.96\00:04:32.70
What is that?
00:04:32.73\00:04:34.07
Well, Pastor Kyle,
00:04:34.14\00:04:35.47
why don't you
start what is AWR360?
00:04:35.50\00:04:37.67
Well, let me back
up actually beyond that
00:04:37.71\00:04:39.74
and say AWR, of course,
00:04:39.77\00:04:41.51
now we've had some programs
00:04:41.54\00:04:42.88
here on 3ABN
before talking about
00:04:42.91\00:04:45.51
our ministry around the world.
00:04:45.55\00:04:46.95
Adventist World Radio
is the radio broadcast arm
00:04:47.02\00:04:50.02
of the
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:04:50.09\00:04:51.82
So all of the radio
stations around the world
00:04:51.85\00:04:54.19
that the
Adventist Church operates
00:04:54.26\00:04:56.29
are affiliated with AWR,
00:04:56.32\00:04:57.86
over 1000 radio
stations around the world.
00:04:57.89\00:05:00.10
That's amazing.
00:05:00.13\00:05:01.46
It's incredible,
including, of course,
00:05:01.50\00:05:02.93
our flagship
shortwave station in Guam,
00:05:02.96\00:05:05.27
which reaches one third
of the world's population
00:05:05.30\00:05:07.94
from that one radio station.
00:05:07.97\00:05:09.30
That's amazing. Wow! One third?
00:05:09.34\00:05:10.81
One third, one third
of the world's population.
00:05:10.84\00:05:13.24
So we've been broadcasting
on the radio since 1971,
00:05:13.27\00:05:17.08
the Adventist message.
00:05:17.15\00:05:18.48
And our motto is
no walls, no borders,
00:05:18.51\00:05:20.15
no limits because radio can go
00:05:20.22\00:05:21.65
where missionaries
can't even go, right?
00:05:21.68\00:05:23.82
That's right. That's right.
00:05:23.89\00:05:25.22
We'd like to say, radio
can go wherever air goes.
00:05:25.25\00:05:29.16
And it's
incredible the testimonies
00:05:29.19\00:05:31.63
that we could share
story after story about
00:05:31.66\00:05:33.13
what God is doing.
00:05:33.16\00:05:34.50
Yes.
00:05:34.53\00:05:35.86
One of the things that
I know about radio is that
00:05:35.90\00:05:39.27
I've been doing
some reading on Muslims,
00:05:39.30\00:05:43.04
people who are
in the Islamic faith
00:05:43.07\00:05:45.44
who cannot talk about Christ,
00:05:45.47\00:05:47.81
who cannot go out but
they can hear the radio.
00:05:47.84\00:05:50.28
That's right.
00:05:50.35\00:05:51.68
And so, you know,
00:05:51.71\00:05:53.05
I just think it's so incredible.
00:05:53.08\00:05:54.62
Come on, come on. I
know you have a story, Kyle.
00:05:54.65\00:05:56.22
I just have to share something
I wasn't gonna share this,
00:05:56.25\00:05:58.85
but just on that note,
00:05:58.89\00:06:00.66
I was talking
about the shortwave,
00:06:00.69\00:06:02.22
just a couple of months
ago, we heard this story that
00:06:02.26\00:06:06.16
there are Muslims in Afghanistan
00:06:06.19\00:06:08.03
living in the
mountains of Afghanistan
00:06:08.06\00:06:10.27
in the Taliban controlled area.
00:06:10.30\00:06:11.83
Okay, so this is
a dangerous area.
00:06:11.87\00:06:14.04
You can't become Christian,
missionaries can't go there.
00:06:14.07\00:06:16.50
Long story short.
00:06:16.54\00:06:17.91
They've been listening to
AWR on their shortwave radios.
00:06:17.94\00:06:20.68
Wow!
00:06:20.71\00:06:22.04
We now have 60
Seventh-day Adventist believers
00:06:22.08\00:06:24.95
in the mountains of Afghanistan
because of shortwave.
00:06:24.98\00:06:28.78
They meet in homes.
00:06:28.82\00:06:30.32
They tried to meet
together as a group,
00:06:30.39\00:06:33.12
but they were threatened
to be killed by the Taliban.
00:06:33.15\00:06:34.92
Wow.
00:06:34.96\00:06:36.29
And so now they
meet secretly in homes
00:06:36.32\00:06:37.83
still listening to AWR.
00:06:37.86\00:06:39.46
Four of them have
been able to be baptized.
00:06:39.49\00:06:41.93
So by God's grace,
00:06:41.96\00:06:44.27
the whole group
wants to be baptized,
00:06:44.30\00:06:46.27
but just pray for those
new believers of Afghanistan,
00:06:46.30\00:06:49.14
but that was...
00:06:49.17\00:06:50.51
I just was reminded
of that when you mention.
00:06:50.54\00:06:51.87
Oh, thank you for sharing.
Oh, that's kind of like health.
00:06:51.91\00:06:54.28
I mean, if I can
just throw that in there
00:06:54.31\00:06:55.78
because health is the same way,
00:06:55.81\00:06:57.81
you know, it
breaks down barriers,
00:06:57.85\00:06:59.48
just kind of like a
radio that goes to places
00:06:59.51\00:07:01.38
we can't get to.
00:07:01.42\00:07:03.39
Health meets people that
otherwise we could not reach.
00:07:03.42\00:07:06.49
That's right.
00:07:06.52\00:07:07.86
And so, and on that note,
00:07:07.89\00:07:09.76
just to say what AWR360 means.
00:07:09.79\00:07:12.96
So for AWR has been broadcasting
00:07:12.99\00:07:15.13
for a long time,
00:07:15.16\00:07:16.50
but in the last couple of years,
00:07:16.53\00:07:17.90
under the
leadership of our President
00:07:17.93\00:07:19.27
Elder Dwayne McKee,
who's a visionary evangelist...
00:07:19.30\00:07:22.10
Yes, he is. He
said, you know what?
00:07:22.14\00:07:24.31
We wanna really focus
00:07:24.34\00:07:25.67
on the total
picture of evangelism.
00:07:25.71\00:07:28.41
So it's not just broadcasting,
it's broadcast to baptism.
00:07:28.44\00:07:33.05
And so AWR360 leading
people from hearing the message,
00:07:33.08\00:07:38.75
showing them Christ's love,
00:07:38.79\00:07:40.86
and then leading
them to make a decision
00:07:40.89\00:07:42.62
to be a part of
His church family,
00:07:42.66\00:07:44.76
the Seventh-day
Adventist Church.
00:07:44.79\00:07:46.13
Three hundred and
sixty degrees that's so...
00:07:46.16\00:07:47.93
I love it. Yeah.
00:07:47.96\00:07:49.30
And so that's where
00:07:49.33\00:07:50.67
the health
component fits in because,
00:07:50.70\00:07:52.27
you know, we're
told that the gospel,
00:07:52.30\00:07:55.24
the health is the right
arm of the gospel, Dr. Lela.
00:07:55.27\00:07:57.21
That's right.
00:07:57.24\00:07:58.57
And you and I
believe very strongly
00:07:58.61\00:07:59.94
in the combination
of those two things.
00:07:59.97\00:08:02.41
In fact, Sister White says
that if you separate the two,
00:08:02.44\00:08:05.38
if you separate the
gospel from the medical work,
00:08:05.41\00:08:08.05
the worst evil is
accomplished that God...
00:08:08.08\00:08:11.35
He wants those to
be combined so great.
00:08:11.39\00:08:14.32
And, of course, that's
both of our passions, so.
00:08:14.36\00:08:16.32
And doesn't it
make sense to combine it
00:08:16.36\00:08:18.49
because when
you can help someone
00:08:18.53\00:08:20.63
or someone in
somebody else's family,
00:08:20.70\00:08:24.30
help them to feel better,
00:08:24.33\00:08:25.80
help them be able
to think more clearly
00:08:25.83\00:08:28.27
to be able to even
interpret the word better.
00:08:28.30\00:08:31.07
That's right.
00:08:31.11\00:08:32.44
I mean, it's
just such a blessing,
00:08:32.47\00:08:34.44
they're gonna listen to you.
00:08:34.48\00:08:35.81
That's right. They
trust you. They trust you.
00:08:35.84\00:08:38.21
It opens that door
of trust. Absolutely.
00:08:38.25\00:08:40.55
And that's the way
Jesus worked, right?
00:08:40.62\00:08:41.95
That's right.
00:08:41.98\00:08:43.32
We know that Ellen White
says in Ministry of Healing,
00:08:43.35\00:08:45.19
page 143 quote
that we've all heard
00:08:45.22\00:08:47.89
and it's a beautiful one.
00:08:47.92\00:08:49.29
"Christ's method
alone will give true success
00:08:49.32\00:08:52.49
in reaching the people.
00:08:52.53\00:08:53.90
The Savior mingled with men."
00:08:53.93\00:08:55.50
He mingled with them, "as
one who desired their good."
00:08:55.53\00:08:57.37
Yes.
00:08:57.40\00:08:58.73
And minister to their needs,
00:08:58.77\00:09:00.10
"showed sympathy for them
and won their confidence."
00:09:00.14\00:09:03.27
But it doesn't stop there.
00:09:03.30\00:09:04.64
"Then He bade them, 'Follow me.'
00:09:04.67\00:09:06.88
" That's the model for
AWR360 and AWR360 Health.
00:09:06.91\00:09:10.58
And so that's why we've said,
00:09:10.65\00:09:12.61
"We're not just gonna broadcast,
00:09:12.65\00:09:14.02
we want to broadcast,
00:09:14.05\00:09:15.38
we want to have
the health component,
00:09:15.42\00:09:16.75
and then ultimately leading them
00:09:16.79\00:09:18.12
to that decision of,
will you follow Christ?
00:09:18.15\00:09:19.59
" That's right.
00:09:19.62\00:09:20.96
So that's really
where it's all about.
00:09:20.99\00:09:22.66
And, you know, Elder McKee,
00:09:22.69\00:09:25.26
our president and I both had
00:09:25.29\00:09:27.10
the privilege of
knowing Dr. Lela...
00:09:27.13\00:09:29.56
For a long time.
00:09:29.60\00:09:30.97
For a few years and, Hadassah,
00:09:31.00\00:09:32.90
you were a
little bit shorter then.
00:09:32.93\00:09:35.27
She's now become a
wonderful young woman here
00:09:35.30\00:09:38.21
and a college student.
00:09:38.24\00:09:39.57
But I'm telling you, in
2014 we both Elder McKee
00:09:39.61\00:09:43.95
and I went to the first
00:09:43.98\00:09:45.31
Your Best Pathway to
Health event, which Dr...
00:09:45.35\00:09:47.25
In San Francisco.
00:09:47.32\00:09:48.65
Yes, which Dr.
Lela was in charge of...
00:09:48.68\00:09:50.49
And both of us...
00:09:50.52\00:09:52.65
And I actually
didn't know him at the time,
00:09:52.69\00:09:54.62
really but both of
us were very inspired
00:09:54.66\00:09:57.56
by what happened there.
00:09:57.63\00:09:58.96
Now what did you see there?
00:09:58.99\00:10:00.33
When you first went
there, what did you see?
00:10:00.36\00:10:03.03
I saw a
beautiful picture, Yvonne,
00:10:03.06\00:10:05.53
of God's Church coming together,
00:10:05.57\00:10:07.97
to serve people
in the name of Jesus,
00:10:08.00\00:10:10.21
to show them His love.
00:10:10.24\00:10:12.71
And there's just nothing like it
00:10:12.74\00:10:14.58
when you see that happen,
00:10:14.61\00:10:15.94
and you see
people's lives changed.
00:10:15.98\00:10:18.35
It changes you.
00:10:18.38\00:10:19.71
And it changed my church members
00:10:19.75\00:10:21.08
that I brought
with me to that event.
00:10:21.12\00:10:22.45
And there were so
many different aspects
00:10:22.48\00:10:24.09
of Adventism coming together.
00:10:24.12\00:10:25.85
You know, there was
some different ideas
00:10:25.89\00:10:28.66
and different
problems or different things
00:10:28.69\00:10:30.46
that everybody
was working together.
00:10:30.53\00:10:32.03
Everybody was happy.
00:10:32.06\00:10:33.40
In fact, you remember
this, when we were breaking down
00:10:33.43\00:10:36.30
the event in San Francisco
to set it up in Oakland,
00:10:36.33\00:10:39.40
people were
singing hymns together
00:10:39.43\00:10:41.60
that might not necessarily
be all working together
00:10:41.64\00:10:44.11
on an outside basis.
00:10:44.14\00:10:45.47
It was beautiful.
00:10:45.51\00:10:47.28
And we had so many
young people involved,
00:10:47.31\00:10:48.64
you remember that, Kyle?
00:10:48.68\00:10:50.01
Tons of young people.
00:10:50.05\00:10:51.38
Yeah, lots of young people,
00:10:51.41\00:10:52.75
teenagers, young adults
coming and they're all excited
00:10:52.78\00:10:55.78
because they're
doing Christ mission.
00:10:55.82\00:10:57.59
And Hadassah
was there. Hadassah?
00:10:57.62\00:10:59.32
I was just gonna say
speaking of young people,
00:10:59.35\00:11:01.76
we have Hadassah
00:11:01.79\00:11:03.12
who happens to be your daughter.
00:11:03.16\00:11:04.49
Yes, she is.
00:11:04.53\00:11:06.56
I can see the similarity. Yeah.
00:11:06.59\00:11:08.43
Tell us about your
experience with AWR?
00:11:08.46\00:11:10.70
Well, with AWR one of
the first mission trips
00:11:10.77\00:11:14.67
I went to was to Guyana.
00:11:14.70\00:11:17.51
It was trial run
00:11:17.54\00:11:20.18
for the new AWR360 mission trips
00:11:20.21\00:11:23.24
that I remember their plans.
00:11:23.28\00:11:25.45
And I remember
there's this one story,
00:11:25.48\00:11:27.02
I was helping my mom
00:11:27.05\00:11:28.38
in the women's
health department.
00:11:28.42\00:11:29.78
And there was a
lady, she came in,
00:11:29.82\00:11:33.09
and she was complaining of pain.
00:11:33.12\00:11:37.03
And upon examination of her
00:11:37.06\00:11:39.33
we found out that
my mom diagnosed her
00:11:39.36\00:11:42.26
with stage IV cancer.
00:11:42.30\00:11:43.67
And she was able to be diagnosed
00:11:43.70\00:11:45.20
and hopefully able to be
00:11:45.23\00:11:46.77
sent to the local
hospital and helped.
00:11:46.84\00:11:49.37
Wow, what a blessing
that she found out in time.
00:11:49.40\00:11:52.81
And at the time, you guys
were high school students,
00:11:52.84\00:11:54.98
is that correct?
00:11:55.01\00:11:56.34
Yeah. Yeah Was a
couple of years ago.
00:11:56.38\00:11:57.71
So it really made a huge impact,
00:11:57.75\00:11:59.41
even on the young people
00:11:59.45\00:12:00.82
at such an early
age, I think of her.
00:12:00.85\00:12:02.62
Yes, yes.
00:12:02.65\00:12:04.19
So you've been involved
with your mom's ministry
00:12:04.22\00:12:06.79
for a long time.
00:12:06.86\00:12:08.19
Tell us about that? Yeah.
00:12:08.22\00:12:10.33
The first events that I remember
00:12:10.36\00:12:12.36
really being
involved in I was 12.
00:12:12.39\00:12:15.46
And I actually volunteered
in the surgery department.
00:12:15.50\00:12:19.23
Wow!
00:12:19.27\00:12:21.00
She volunteered in
the surgery department
00:12:21.04\00:12:23.14
to our viewers
here when she was 12.
00:12:23.17\00:12:26.44
And she
volunteered in the surgery.
00:12:26.47\00:12:28.01
And I wasn't
operating. Okay. Good.
00:12:28.04\00:12:30.35
I'm glad you cleared that up.
00:12:30.38\00:12:33.08
No, don't worry. I
wasn't cutting anybody.
00:12:33.11\00:12:36.58
Well, that is it, you know,
that really brings out to me.
00:12:36.62\00:12:39.25
Pastor Kyle and
Yvonne, you know, pathway is,
00:12:39.29\00:12:42.49
that was Pathway to Help
which was the free mega clinic.
00:12:42.52\00:12:45.39
We do free
medical, dental, eye care,
00:12:45.43\00:12:48.13
and surgical
services to uninsured
00:12:48.16\00:12:50.27
and underinsured populations
here in North America.
00:12:50.30\00:12:53.23
And again, it
brings everyone together,
00:12:53.27\00:12:55.90
but the idea was
so exciting to people
00:12:55.94\00:12:58.77
here in North America.
00:12:58.81\00:13:00.18
The word began to
spread around the world.
00:13:00.21\00:13:01.98
What about
those of us in Africa?
00:13:02.01\00:13:03.95
What about those
of us in Australia?
00:13:03.98\00:13:06.05
And so we
started getting requests
00:13:06.08\00:13:07.62
to come around the world.
00:13:07.65\00:13:08.98
And that's
where Dr. Dwayne McKee
00:13:09.02\00:13:11.89
and Pastor Kyle
really came in with
00:13:11.92\00:13:13.99
AWR360 Health to kind
of answer that question
00:13:14.06\00:13:17.76
of what can we do for
those around the world
00:13:17.79\00:13:19.86
that wanna combine
the medical, the physical,
00:13:19.89\00:13:22.50
the mental, the emotional,
and spiritual healing together.
00:13:22.53\00:13:25.17
Yep.
00:13:25.20\00:13:26.53
And so we said, "Well, you know,
00:13:26.57\00:13:27.90
we've never done
this before, but AWR,
00:13:27.94\00:13:31.64
we're going to bring
on a medical director.
00:13:31.67\00:13:34.81
And we are going to
make health a key component
00:13:34.84\00:13:38.68
of our strategy
to reach the world
00:13:38.71\00:13:40.25
because that's
how Christ worked.
00:13:40.32\00:13:41.65
That was His method.
00:13:41.68\00:13:43.02
And so, and
Elder Wilson has said,
00:13:43.05\00:13:45.42
and I know I've
heard him say this,
00:13:45.45\00:13:47.89
"Health needs to be a component
00:13:47.92\00:13:49.72
of every ministry of the church,
00:13:49.76\00:13:51.53
not just a separate department."
00:13:51.56\00:13:53.33
And, you know, Dr. Landless,
00:13:53.40\00:13:54.73
our Health
Ministries Director for the GC.
00:13:54.76\00:13:56.30
He says this too,
00:13:56.33\00:13:57.67
"Health needs to be
integrated everywhere."
00:13:57.70\00:13:59.10
So AWR we said, we
want to integrate this
00:13:59.13\00:14:01.77
in our efforts for
evangelism in leading people
00:14:01.80\00:14:05.24
from broadcast to baptism.
00:14:05.27\00:14:06.98
And that's where Dr.
Lela by God's grace came in.
00:14:07.01\00:14:10.28
And now she's a
part of our team.
00:14:10.35\00:14:11.68
And it's a blessing.
00:14:11.71\00:14:13.05
It's an absolute blessing
00:14:13.08\00:14:14.42
to be a part of this
wonderful dream team.
00:14:14.45\00:14:15.78
But what I wanted to get back
00:14:15.82\00:14:17.15
to is what
Hadassah was talking about
00:14:17.19\00:14:18.52
Guyana being kind
of like the trial run.
00:14:18.55\00:14:21.22
Our very first
AWR360 Health event
00:14:21.26\00:14:24.36
happened in the Philippines.
00:14:24.39\00:14:25.93
And then we just finished India.
00:14:25.96\00:14:27.30
And we have a
video to show Yvonne
00:14:27.33\00:14:30.47
that shows the demonstration
of Philippines and India.
00:14:30.50\00:14:33.20
And what AWR360
Health is all about.
00:14:33.23\00:14:35.77
Oh, that's great.
Let's take a look.
00:14:35.80\00:14:39.74
The purpose of AWR360
Health is to be able to provide
00:14:39.77\00:14:43.65
360 degrees of
health to every patient.
00:14:43.68\00:14:47.95
That means physically,
00:14:47.98\00:14:49.32
mentally,
emotionally, and spiritually.
00:14:49.35\00:14:51.55
The whole person
everywhere we've gone
00:14:51.59\00:14:53.86
and the years that
00:14:53.89\00:14:55.22
we've been doing
these mega clinics,
00:14:55.26\00:14:56.93
patients will come up
and say, "Who are you people?
00:14:56.96\00:15:00.20
And how do I join your church?"
00:15:00.23\00:15:01.63
Their lives are so impacted,
00:15:01.66\00:15:03.06
but it's not just the
individual patient's lives.
00:15:03.10\00:15:06.20
The entire
communities are affected,
00:15:06.23\00:15:08.10
government officials,
00:15:08.14\00:15:09.64
dignitaries, all having a
changed perspective of God's
00:15:09.67\00:15:13.58
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:15:13.61\00:15:15.58
But it's not just that,
volunteers lives themselves
00:15:15.61\00:15:19.65
have been
completely transformed.
00:15:19.68\00:15:21.18
I can't tell you
numerous of volunteers
00:15:21.22\00:15:23.42
who have come
somewhat disgruntled with this
00:15:23.49\00:15:26.05
or that situation
and they come through,
00:15:26.09\00:15:28.06
they serve as a volunteer,
00:15:28.09\00:15:29.42
they get to be
Jesus hands and feet.
00:15:29.46\00:15:31.13
And afterwards
they say, you know what?
00:15:31.16\00:15:33.16
"If this is what
00:15:33.19\00:15:34.53
the Seventh-day
Adventist Church stands for,
00:15:34.56\00:15:36.53
I'm in and I'm 100%."
00:15:36.56\00:15:38.87
The impact is phenomenal.
00:15:38.90\00:15:41.67
AWR360 Health Chennai
00:15:41.70\00:15:44.21
has hit a huge
impact not just on India,
00:15:44.24\00:15:47.28
but I think globally.
00:15:47.31\00:15:48.98
What they've done here,
00:15:49.01\00:15:50.35
they've transformed a school
into a beautiful mega clinic,
00:15:50.38\00:15:54.42
and it has served as
a tremendous blessing
00:15:54.45\00:15:57.09
to the community at large.
00:15:57.12\00:15:58.79
What we learned is this
can be replicated globally.
00:15:58.82\00:16:02.76
You can take
schools all over the world
00:16:02.79\00:16:04.96
and transform them
into medical clinics.
00:16:04.99\00:16:06.83
You can take
hospitals and communities
00:16:06.90\00:16:09.53
and transform them
into centers of influence
00:16:09.56\00:16:12.93
to the community around them.
00:16:12.97\00:16:14.57
As far as the
impact is concerned,
00:16:14.60\00:16:16.81
I think we're touching
00:16:16.84\00:16:18.17
on what Jesus
originally had planned
00:16:18.21\00:16:20.41
for our church.
00:16:20.48\00:16:21.81
And that is truly to
provide 360 degrees of health,
00:16:21.84\00:16:26.08
physically, mentally,
emotionally, and spiritually.
00:16:26.11\00:16:29.88
I would recommend
everyone attend a mission trip.
00:16:29.92\00:16:33.36
Our AWR360 Health mission trip,
00:16:33.39\00:16:36.76
it is guaranteed to
transform your life.
00:16:36.83\00:16:39.09
You will go back
to your own hometown,
00:16:39.13\00:16:41.16
your own home
city, and you will say,
00:16:41.20\00:16:42.93
you know what?
00:16:42.96\00:16:44.30
What I experienced in
this or that location,
00:16:44.33\00:16:46.40
and this or that country,
I want for my own community,
00:16:46.43\00:16:49.67
I want for my own town,
00:16:49.70\00:16:51.34
and we have
seen that since 2014.
00:16:51.37\00:16:54.48
People who participate
in these mega health clinics
00:16:54.51\00:16:57.81
go back to their own home city
00:16:57.85\00:16:59.81
and they are
transformed for life.
00:16:59.85\00:17:02.85
My dream for
AWR360 Health is that
00:17:02.88\00:17:05.82
they can be an example
00:17:05.85\00:17:07.86
of what God
wants to do globally.
00:17:07.89\00:17:10.86
We can't do mega
clinics all year round,
00:17:10.93\00:17:13.73
every week, every day.
00:17:13.80\00:17:15.26
But you know what?
00:17:15.30\00:17:16.67
Each and every
one of our members,
00:17:16.70\00:17:18.07
total member
involvement can do this.
00:17:18.10\00:17:21.60
When we all work together,
00:17:21.64\00:17:23.94
I believe we will see Jesus come
00:17:24.01\00:17:26.14
because this is His method.
00:17:26.17\00:17:28.28
He has been waiting for
us to take up the method that
00:17:28.31\00:17:31.15
He came to earth to
show as He healed the people
00:17:31.18\00:17:34.48
He met their physical needs.
00:17:34.52\00:17:36.15
He fed them, He
provided to them,
00:17:36.18\00:17:38.32
and then He said, "Follow Me."
00:17:38.35\00:17:40.36
When we do that,
I believe our goal
00:17:40.39\00:17:43.93
as Christians
will be accomplished
00:17:43.96\00:17:45.66
and we will be able to see Jesus
00:17:45.69\00:17:47.20
come in the clouds.
00:17:47.23\00:17:48.56
Wow! How inspiring.
00:17:59.11\00:18:01.04
God is so good.
00:18:01.08\00:18:02.41
That is so inspiring
because you could see
00:18:02.44\00:18:04.35
the joy in
people's faces, you know,
00:18:04.38\00:18:07.12
and how much they
appreciate this the services...
00:18:07.15\00:18:09.42
Lives transformed. Yes, yes.
00:18:09.45\00:18:12.15
And this was in the Philippines?
00:18:12.19\00:18:13.56
That was Philippines and India.
00:18:13.59\00:18:15.19
We had footage both
from both locations.
00:18:15.22\00:18:17.66
Tell us about some of the things
00:18:17.69\00:18:19.03
that happened in the Philippines
00:18:19.06\00:18:20.40
during this time?
00:18:20.43\00:18:21.83
Well, it was incredible.
00:18:21.86\00:18:23.50
Actually, we were in a stadium,
you saw the pictures there.
00:18:23.57\00:18:26.37
Unbelievable activity.
00:18:26.40\00:18:27.94
And so the crazy thing
00:18:27.97\00:18:29.40
is we actually
only had 300 volunteers.
00:18:29.44\00:18:32.47
It was a Gideon
army. It was a Gideon army.
00:18:32.51\00:18:35.31
Very small Gideon army.
00:18:35.34\00:18:37.48
And she's not been
to an event like this.
00:18:37.55\00:18:38.91
You might think,
"Well, 300, that's a lot."
00:18:38.95\00:18:40.32
Sounds like a lot.
00:18:40.35\00:18:41.68
But here's the thing,
00:18:41.72\00:18:43.05
if you've been
to a pathway event,
00:18:43.08\00:18:44.42
and you know...
00:18:44.45\00:18:45.79
We have 3,000 to
5,000 volunteers.
00:18:45.82\00:18:47.16
Yeah. Wow!
00:18:47.19\00:18:48.52
Serving... Six
thousand patients.
00:18:48.56\00:18:50.43
Eight thousand patients max.
00:18:50.46\00:18:51.86
Max, 8,500 was the
largest in Los Angeles.
00:18:51.89\00:18:54.76
So do you know how many patients
00:18:54.80\00:18:56.13
came in the Philippines?
00:18:56.16\00:18:57.50
Our Gideon army.
00:18:57.57\00:18:58.90
Just take a wild guess,
00:18:58.93\00:19:00.27
how many God allowed
the Gideon army to serve?
00:19:00.30\00:19:02.20
Ten thousand patients.
00:19:02.24\00:19:05.57
Three hundred people?
00:19:05.61\00:19:07.18
Three hundred. Wow!
00:19:07.21\00:19:08.84
Now tell us some of the services
00:19:08.88\00:19:10.55
that are provided
as well because we saw,
00:19:10.58\00:19:13.28
we even saw an operating room.
00:19:13.31\00:19:14.75
Yes, we have.
00:19:14.78\00:19:16.12
So what are some of
the services you provide?
00:19:16.15\00:19:17.49
We do surgical procedures
under some local anesthesia
00:19:17.52\00:19:20.76
overseas so for
example, you know, we take off,
00:19:20.79\00:19:23.73
you know, various lumps
and bumps and different things,
00:19:23.76\00:19:26.06
but then we collaborate
with the local hospital
00:19:26.09\00:19:28.20
and you're gonna learn about
that in just a few minutes.
00:19:28.23\00:19:30.10
In Papua New Guinea
00:19:30.17\00:19:31.50
we will be
operating at the hospital.
00:19:31.53\00:19:33.94
So actually doing
full general anesthesia,
00:19:33.97\00:19:35.90
but on the event itself
00:19:35.94\00:19:37.31
we'll do just some minor things.
00:19:37.34\00:19:39.11
We do a dentistry, eye care...
00:19:39.14\00:19:42.08
Dentistry is always big,
no matter whether you're here
00:19:42.11\00:19:44.25
in the United
States or you're overseas,
00:19:44.28\00:19:46.01
it's always a huge need.
00:19:46.05\00:19:47.65
Yeah. And then...
00:19:47.68\00:19:49.02
We have a full pharmacy.
We have a full pharmacy...
00:19:49.05\00:19:51.29
Hadassah, you were
in the pharmacy, right?
00:19:51.32\00:19:53.49
Yeah. Yeah.
00:19:53.56\00:19:54.89
I remember, we sat for hours
organizing the medications.
00:19:54.92\00:19:59.03
So many vitamins,
so many multivitamins.
00:19:59.06\00:20:03.00
You guys did
great, I got to say.
00:20:03.03\00:20:04.37
Yes.
00:20:04.40\00:20:05.73
With such a diverse population,
00:20:05.77\00:20:07.67
I mean, you may
have seen in the video
00:20:07.70\00:20:09.07
in the Philippines,
00:20:09.10\00:20:10.44
our youngest
volunteer was eight years old
00:20:10.51\00:20:13.01
and she was helping in
the pediatrics department.
00:20:13.04\00:20:15.31
That was my
other daughter, Mariah.
00:20:15.34\00:20:17.48
But we have all kinds...
00:20:17.55\00:20:19.55
We look at this
as a family endeavor.
00:20:19.58\00:20:22.12
If you want your family
to become a missionary family
00:20:22.15\00:20:25.65
for the rest of their
lives, let the young people
00:20:25.69\00:20:28.52
and the children get involved.
00:20:28.56\00:20:30.23
And that's what we do at
a AWR360 Health for sure.
00:20:30.26\00:20:33.26
So if you... I'm gonna...
00:20:33.29\00:20:34.63
Go ahead, no, please, please.
00:20:34.66\00:20:36.00
I'm gonna steal something
00:20:36.03\00:20:37.37
you always say
your pathway rallies.
00:20:37.40\00:20:39.93
If she loves to say that
00:20:39.97\00:20:41.34
if you have a
heartbeat and a smile,
00:20:41.37\00:20:43.00
you can volunteer.
00:20:43.04\00:20:44.51
Amen. Amen. It's true.
00:20:44.54\00:20:45.87
I do say that.
That's good. That's good.
00:20:45.91\00:20:47.48
If you have a
heartbeat and a smile.
00:20:47.51\00:20:49.54
So there's no
excuse then. That's not...
00:20:49.58\00:20:52.58
Because if you're
watching this program right now
00:20:52.61\00:20:54.02
and you can probably smile,
then you're eligible to come.
00:20:54.05\00:20:56.72
And you
obviously have a heartbeat.
00:20:56.79\00:20:58.89
You now, Pastor
Kyle, it brings us back
00:20:58.92\00:21:01.12
to the Philippines
and what God did there,
00:21:01.16\00:21:03.53
both Pastor Kyle and
myself have a passion
00:21:03.56\00:21:06.26
like we already mentioned to
00:21:06.29\00:21:07.63
not separate the
gospel and the medical work.
00:21:07.66\00:21:10.77
Yes.
00:21:10.80\00:21:12.13
Tell Yvonne and our viewers
00:21:12.17\00:21:13.84
what happened in the
Philippines with that
00:21:13.87\00:21:15.67
when we combined it
at our noontime meetings?
00:21:15.70\00:21:17.84
Right.
00:21:17.87\00:21:19.21
So we actually,
Yvonne, believe it or not,
00:21:19.24\00:21:20.78
with that many
people coming to a clinic.
00:21:20.81\00:21:22.18
It's busy, right?
00:21:22.21\00:21:23.55
The doctors are
working, the nurses...
00:21:23.58\00:21:24.91
Lots of noise.
00:21:24.95\00:21:26.28
Everybody's
working, lots of noise.
00:21:26.31\00:21:27.65
We said, "You know what,
00:21:27.68\00:21:29.02
we wanna have a
small period of time
00:21:29.05\00:21:30.39
during lunch 'cause
we also serve food."
00:21:30.42\00:21:31.79
Because many of the
people wait all day long
00:21:31.82\00:21:33.99
and even all night
long to receive services
00:21:34.06\00:21:35.86
so they're hungry.
00:21:35.89\00:21:37.23
Oh... So we wanna serve them.
00:21:37.26\00:21:38.59
Tell me that, that's
not also what Christ did.
00:21:38.63\00:21:41.43
Feeding the 5000. Feeding 5000.
00:21:41.46\00:21:43.80
Yes. Wow.
00:21:43.87\00:21:45.20
That's
incredible. Okay, go ahead.
00:21:45.23\00:21:46.57
Yeah, so we're
serving the loaves
00:21:46.60\00:21:47.94
and the veggie
fish and all that...
00:21:47.97\00:21:49.90
But anyway, so during that time,
00:21:49.94\00:21:52.24
we said we wanted to
have a presentation on...
00:21:52.27\00:21:56.64
To captive audience
while they're eating
00:21:56.68\00:21:58.88
just that's what
Jesus did, right?
00:21:58.91\00:22:00.35
That's right.
00:22:00.42\00:22:01.75
And so, Dr. Lela
would present on this,
00:22:01.78\00:22:04.19
the physical
health as a physician,
00:22:04.22\00:22:06.02
and then I would come
00:22:06.05\00:22:07.39
and present on some spiritual
health topics as a pastor.
00:22:07.46\00:22:09.66
And so we did this
three days in a row,
00:22:09.69\00:22:12.63
talking about
like the importance
00:22:12.66\00:22:14.13
of what you eat and
your diet, and then...
00:22:14.20\00:22:16.53
And ultimately the effect
that it played on your mind.
00:22:16.56\00:22:18.20
Right.
00:22:18.23\00:22:19.57
The ability for the
mind to hear the Holy Spirit,
00:22:19.60\00:22:21.37
the frontal lobes physically.
00:22:21.40\00:22:23.17
But the idea
that we really wanted
00:22:23.20\00:22:24.67
the patients to be
able to see the link
00:22:24.71\00:22:27.58
between the physical health
and the spiritual health...
00:22:27.61\00:22:29.88
And the mental.
And the mental, right?
00:22:29.91\00:22:31.81
And so we did this
for three days in a row.
00:22:31.85\00:22:34.32
This is the first
time we had done this.
00:22:34.35\00:22:35.88
And we prayed a lot.
00:22:35.92\00:22:37.29
We did not know what
we were doing at all.
00:22:37.32\00:22:39.02
No, we didn't. So
then the third day came...
00:22:39.05\00:22:42.09
And it was unbelievable.
00:22:42.12\00:22:44.13
It still gives me
shivers to remember that day.
00:22:44.16\00:22:46.36
So we prayed, we
knelt down and we prayed
00:22:46.39\00:22:48.60
and we were fasting
and praying specifically,
00:22:48.63\00:22:51.00
and we felt
impressed this time around
00:22:51.03\00:22:53.07
instead of it being
just, there's the medical
00:22:53.10\00:22:55.47
and then there's the
pastoral of the gospel.
00:22:55.50\00:22:57.67
We needed to do it together.
00:22:57.71\00:22:59.67
And so we stood
up, and we presented,
00:22:59.71\00:23:02.74
and at the end
of the presentation,
00:23:02.78\00:23:06.35
we're about to
make a collective appeal
00:23:06.38\00:23:08.95
together as...
00:23:08.98\00:23:10.49
Again, the physician
and the pastor together
00:23:10.52\00:23:12.75
making appeal to
the congregation.
00:23:12.79\00:23:14.42
We're getting to that
point, we're saying, you know,
00:23:14.46\00:23:16.19
what do you want to give
your heart most importantly,
00:23:16.22\00:23:19.29
your mind to Jesus?
00:23:19.33\00:23:20.70
Are you willing to
give up those things
00:23:20.73\00:23:22.23
that are
clouding your frontal lobe
00:23:22.26\00:23:23.80
so that you can't
hear His Holy Spirit
00:23:23.87\00:23:25.87
because you want His
name written in your forehead
00:23:25.90\00:23:28.87
when He comes in the cloud?
00:23:28.90\00:23:30.71
Or I'm just about to
make the appeal together.
00:23:30.74\00:23:33.58
All of a sudden,
out of nowhere, boom,
00:23:33.61\00:23:36.31
crash, thunder, lightning, rain.
00:23:36.34\00:23:38.71
It was just and
it was on a tin roof.
00:23:38.75\00:23:40.42
And so all of a sudden,
00:23:40.45\00:23:41.78
it was like
drowning out our voices.
00:23:41.82\00:23:43.59
God took our voices.
00:23:43.62\00:23:44.95
You know how you and I
were just talking about
00:23:44.99\00:23:46.32
how Satan tries to
demolish something just as God's
00:23:46.35\00:23:48.69
about to do it.
00:23:48.72\00:23:50.06
God took our voices
and our voices went...
00:23:50.13\00:23:52.93
He amplified your voices.
00:23:52.96\00:23:54.30
He amplified our voices,
00:23:54.33\00:23:55.80
the whole
coliseum and as Pastor Kyle
00:23:55.83\00:23:58.70
made his appeal.
00:23:58.73\00:24:00.24
It gives me shivers still.
00:24:00.27\00:24:01.87
Two thousand people stood up
00:24:01.90\00:24:04.21
to their feet
around the auditorium.
00:24:04.24\00:24:06.07
It was like the wave,
they stood and like people
00:24:06.11\00:24:08.54
and that wasn't
enough, what you do
00:24:08.58\00:24:09.91
with the people on
the floor, Pastor Kyle?
00:24:09.94\00:24:11.28
I had them raise their hands...
00:24:11.31\00:24:12.65
Because we didn't know if
they were already standing
00:24:12.68\00:24:14.68
or giving,
people's hands were raised,
00:24:14.72\00:24:16.79
people were standing,
giving their hearts to Christ.
00:24:16.82\00:24:19.05
Amen.
00:24:19.09\00:24:20.46
And then we
didn't leave it there.
00:24:20.49\00:24:21.82
What did we do next?
00:24:21.86\00:24:23.19
Well, we invited them to come
to the evangelistic meetings.
00:24:23.22\00:24:25.66
It started immediately
thereafter the total member
00:24:25.69\00:24:28.10
involvement evangelistic series.
00:24:28.13\00:24:30.17
And so... And many came.
00:24:30.20\00:24:31.57
Many came. Many, many came.
00:24:31.60\00:24:32.93
And so quick story.
00:24:32.97\00:24:34.30
And so it was incredible,
you know, to see that response
00:24:34.34\00:24:37.11
really, of the
people that were there.
00:24:37.14\00:24:38.67
So powerful.
That's powerful to know...
00:24:38.71\00:24:41.98
Excuse me, one
second, Pastor Kyle,
00:24:42.01\00:24:43.45
but to know that God
didn't let the distraction
00:24:43.48\00:24:47.32
that Satan was trying to
give with the noise and the,
00:24:47.35\00:24:51.15
you know, the
elements rearing up, right?
00:24:51.19\00:24:54.19
He did...
00:24:54.26\00:24:55.59
God just set that
aside, amplified your voices
00:24:55.62\00:24:58.96
and the people heard
00:24:58.99\00:25:00.33
because the
powerful Holy Spirit of God
00:25:00.40\00:25:02.83
took over, and
people accepted the call,
00:25:02.86\00:25:06.94
that's so beautiful.
00:25:06.97\00:25:08.30
And there's a quote, it
makes me think of that quote
00:25:08.34\00:25:10.41
from Counsels on Health.
00:25:10.44\00:25:12.14
And it says that,
"Satan will devise
00:25:12.17\00:25:15.04
every possible means to separate
00:25:15.08\00:25:17.91
what God has brought together."
00:25:17.95\00:25:19.35
And the context is the
medical and the gospel work.
00:25:19.38\00:25:22.25
But God if we're
faithful will overcome
00:25:22.28\00:25:25.22
and we've seen that
happen time and time again.
00:25:25.25\00:25:28.56
Amen.
00:25:28.59\00:25:29.92
Okay, so now, can I
share a quick story?
00:25:29.96\00:25:31.29
Yes. Okay.
00:25:31.33\00:25:32.66
Please. Please.
00:25:32.69\00:25:34.03
So I'm gonna
share a story of someone
00:25:34.10\00:25:35.43
who was actually there that day
that responded to the appeal.
00:25:35.46\00:25:38.93
This man's name,
will call him June,
00:25:38.97\00:25:41.80
and he had grown up
on the island of Palawan
00:25:41.84\00:25:45.07
as a cripple.
00:25:45.11\00:25:46.44
So he didn't have a way to work.
00:25:46.47\00:25:48.18
He had a very... He
didn't have a wheelchair.
00:25:48.21\00:25:49.84
He didn't have a wheelchair.
He had a family though.
00:25:49.88\00:25:53.21
He had a wife and children
00:25:53.25\00:25:54.58
but things were very frustrating
00:25:54.62\00:25:56.18
because he couldn't work
and provide for his family.
00:25:56.22\00:25:58.75
And it got to a point
00:25:58.79\00:26:00.16
where the family was struggling.
00:26:00.19\00:26:02.36
And about that time
00:26:02.39\00:26:05.06
was a few months
prior to our clinic
00:26:05.09\00:26:10.00
and the evangelistic meetings.
00:26:10.07\00:26:12.47
Brother June got
something very special.
00:26:12.50\00:26:15.94
A radio, an AWR radio.
00:26:15.97\00:26:18.74
You got it well, I don't
know if it was a AWR radio,
00:26:18.77\00:26:20.68
but it was a radio.
00:26:20.71\00:26:22.04
Oh, it's a radio.
00:26:22.08\00:26:23.45
And so, we had
been broadcasting,
00:26:23.48\00:26:25.61
starting broadcasting
there on the island of Palawan.
00:26:25.65\00:26:28.38
And so he found AWR,
and started to listen
00:26:28.42\00:26:31.82
to the Adventist
World Radio broadcasts.
00:26:31.85\00:26:34.49
As he was listening,
his heart was being warmed
00:26:34.52\00:26:36.73
by the messages, and
he was learning more about
00:26:36.76\00:26:38.56
God and about Christ.
00:26:38.59\00:26:40.50
And then they had an invitation
00:26:40.53\00:26:43.57
to come to this mega
clinic at the coliseum.
00:26:43.60\00:26:47.77
And he thought, well,
maybe this is an opportunity
00:26:47.80\00:26:49.84
because it's so
hard to get medical care
00:26:49.87\00:26:51.74
there on the island.
00:26:51.77\00:26:53.11
So, he was invited to come.
00:26:53.14\00:26:55.84
A Bible worker
came, and they were
00:26:55.88\00:26:57.28
able to bring
them to the clinic,
00:26:57.35\00:26:59.68
and he felt so much love there.
00:26:59.71\00:27:02.62
He saw, he said he
felt Christ's love there.
00:27:02.65\00:27:06.86
And you know, for the first time
00:27:06.89\00:27:08.29
in his life, Brother June,
00:27:08.32\00:27:11.06
we were able to help him
get his first wheelchair.
00:27:11.09\00:27:14.03
And more than that,
00:27:14.10\00:27:15.70
he heard an
invitation, our invitation,
00:27:15.73\00:27:19.87
and the pastor's invitation
00:27:19.90\00:27:21.40
to come to the subsequent
TMI evangelistic meetings.
00:27:21.44\00:27:25.04
And he came, and what
happened at the very end?
00:27:25.07\00:27:27.91
Well, so he came
with his whole family.
00:27:27.94\00:27:30.35
And I wish we could
show you the picture,
00:27:30.38\00:27:32.51
but it's a beautiful
picture of him being,
00:27:32.55\00:27:35.48
he had made his decision.
00:27:35.52\00:27:37.69
He knew that these Adventists
00:27:37.72\00:27:41.19
that had brought
physical healing,
00:27:41.22\00:27:43.22
now it healed
his heart spiritually
00:27:43.26\00:27:45.13
and emotionally,
00:27:45.16\00:27:46.49
and he wanted to give
his full life to Christ.
00:27:46.53\00:27:48.36
And so there's a
picture of him literally being
00:27:48.40\00:27:50.87
carried into the waters
of the ocean being baptized.
00:27:50.90\00:27:54.74
And so... How beautiful.
00:27:54.77\00:27:56.10
And that, that is AWR360.
00:27:56.14\00:27:59.27
It is. 360 degrees of health.
00:27:59.31\00:28:02.24
Whole person healing.
That's broadcast to baptism.
00:28:02.28\00:28:05.28
And that's
showing the full cycle.
00:28:05.31\00:28:07.88
And so, you know,
00:28:07.92\00:28:09.28
that's just one
testimony of one person...
00:28:09.32\00:28:11.29
Many, many people like that.
00:28:11.32\00:28:12.65
But we've seen that
over and over and over again.
00:28:12.69\00:28:15.09
And we believe, that as we do
these clinics around the world,
00:28:15.12\00:28:18.36
we will see this
happen again and again
00:28:18.39\00:28:20.40
because this is how
Christ reached people too.
00:28:20.43\00:28:23.37
And the beauty of AWR360
Health, you know, we did India,
00:28:23.40\00:28:27.77
subsequently,
just a few months ago
00:28:27.80\00:28:29.40
in June actually, and
we served 3,200 patients.
00:28:29.44\00:28:32.74
What was so exciting there,
00:28:32.77\00:28:34.48
we were actually able
to do cataract surgery.
00:28:34.51\00:28:37.35
Hundreds of patients
received cataract surgery.
00:28:37.38\00:28:40.62
So they had no
sight when they walked in,
00:28:40.65\00:28:44.29
and God gave them physical sight
00:28:44.32\00:28:46.12
so that ultimately,
00:28:46.15\00:28:47.56
they could be
acquainted with spiritual sight.
00:28:47.59\00:28:49.82
Now, can I jump
in on this one...
00:28:49.86\00:28:51.39
Yes, this is good, this is good.
00:28:51.43\00:28:52.76
This is incredible, incredible.
00:28:52.79\00:28:54.60
I don't know, those
of you watching at home,
00:28:54.63\00:28:56.40
if you've ever had
a cataract surgery,
00:28:56.43\00:28:57.87
or if you know someone
that has. Dr. Lela, Dr. Had..
00:28:57.90\00:29:01.37
Can I call you
Doctor? Future Doctor.
00:29:01.40\00:29:03.81
I'm surrounded by...
00:29:03.84\00:29:05.17
We don't even know,
00:29:05.21\00:29:06.71
she hasn't told us what
she is studying in school.
00:29:06.78\00:29:09.71
Well, I guess I should
probably introduce myself.
00:29:09.74\00:29:11.65
Yes, please.
00:29:11.68\00:29:13.82
I go to La Sierra University,
00:29:13.85\00:29:17.99
and right now
I'm a biomed major,
00:29:18.02\00:29:19.65
so I'm going to be a doctor.
00:29:19.69\00:29:21.59
Okay. Okay. Doctor to be.
00:29:21.62\00:29:25.13
So doctor and doctor to be,
00:29:25.16\00:29:26.90
so I'm surrounded by
this medical science here.
00:29:26.93\00:29:29.76
But anyway, so.
00:29:29.80\00:29:31.17
So doctors and,
00:29:31.20\00:29:34.24
Dr. Yvonne, I will call you.
00:29:34.27\00:29:37.41
Typically a cataract
surgery in the United States
00:29:37.44\00:29:39.44
would take what, 15 minutes?
00:29:39.47\00:29:40.81
Yeah, probably. Okay.
00:29:40.88\00:29:42.91
And praise the
Lord for our surgeons.
00:29:42.94\00:29:45.18
We have a doctor in India,
who can do cataract surgeries,
00:29:45.21\00:29:48.65
and guess how long?
00:29:48.68\00:29:50.69
I don't know. Three?
00:29:50.72\00:29:53.15
Two minutes. No.
00:29:53.19\00:29:55.99
And do it well?
Yes, really well.
00:29:56.02\00:29:58.63
His patients do so
good. Extremely well.
00:29:58.66\00:30:01.56
And I can tell you firsthand.
00:30:01.60\00:30:04.17
I was in the operating room,
00:30:04.20\00:30:05.53
I watched him do 46
surgeries in two hours.
00:30:05.57\00:30:07.84
One patient, to
the next, to the next.
00:30:07.87\00:30:09.77
It's unbelievable.
00:30:09.80\00:30:11.14
But the amazing thing is,
is that Dr. Jacob Prabakar.
00:30:11.17\00:30:13.88
He's not only wanting
to heal them physically,
00:30:13.91\00:30:16.48
he's actually more concerned
about healing them spiritually.
00:30:16.51\00:30:19.71
And so every
patient is invited to come
00:30:19.75\00:30:22.15
to the evangelistic
meetings, and you know.
00:30:22.18\00:30:23.79
You know how, you know them
00:30:23.82\00:30:25.15
that they were
patients of Dr. Jacob?
00:30:25.19\00:30:26.86
They got their glasses on.
00:30:26.89\00:30:29.06
So they also up with
these big dark glasses,
00:30:29.09\00:30:31.06
but they're beaming,
because they've been,
00:30:31.09\00:30:34.00
some of them have
been blind for years.
00:30:34.03\00:30:36.50
And so now they can see.
00:30:36.53\00:30:38.50
He came to give sight the blind.
00:30:38.53\00:30:40.84
Isn't that gorgeous?
00:30:40.87\00:30:42.20
Can you imagine
the feeling though
00:30:42.24\00:30:44.01
of not having been able to see,
00:30:44.04\00:30:46.51
and now you can and
so you're going to say,
00:30:46.54\00:30:48.98
well, if he can help me
to see this, then my heart...
00:30:49.01\00:30:53.95
Amen He can help
me to see spiritually,
00:30:54.02\00:30:56.79
what I need to see.
00:30:56.82\00:30:58.15
Yes. That is so beautiful.
00:30:58.19\00:30:59.59
That's just what
Jesus did. It is. It is.
00:30:59.62\00:31:02.26
It's so, what Jesus did.
00:31:02.29\00:31:04.43
Elder Wilson was in
Calcutta, and preaching.
00:31:04.46\00:31:07.40
At the time when we had
our evangelistic meetings
00:31:07.43\00:31:09.46
and we also had,
00:31:09.50\00:31:10.87
so we had the clinic in Chennai.
00:31:10.90\00:31:12.23
And then we had another
clinic down in Calcutta.
00:31:12.27\00:31:14.37
And we had Dr. Jacob doing
eye surgeries in both places.
00:31:14.40\00:31:17.14
And I remember because
I was there in the church.
00:31:17.21\00:31:19.14
And I looked out, and
I would see the people
00:31:19.17\00:31:21.31
with the dark glasses,
and they were just smiling,
00:31:21.34\00:31:23.11
listening to
Elder Wilson preach.
00:31:23.14\00:31:24.88
And some of those
people decided to be baptized.
00:31:24.91\00:31:26.95
Amen.
00:31:27.02\00:31:28.35
So what we
believe, I dare to say,
00:31:28.38\00:31:31.52
is that this can be
replicated all over the world.
00:31:31.55\00:31:34.26
Yes.
00:31:34.29\00:31:35.62
And it's not something
that AWR360 Health has to do.
00:31:35.66\00:31:38.23
Why?
00:31:38.26\00:31:39.59
Because this is the mission that
00:31:39.63\00:31:40.96
Jesus gave us as Christians.
00:31:41.00\00:31:43.47
This is our mission
00:31:43.50\00:31:44.83
as Seventh-day
Adventist Christians to go
00:31:44.87\00:31:47.27
and make whole
people out of broken people.
00:31:47.34\00:31:50.31
Your beautiful song at
the beginning of the show.
00:31:50.34\00:31:52.94
That's our
blessing as Christians.
00:31:52.97\00:31:54.88
Yes.
00:31:54.91\00:31:56.24
So I'm just really excited about
00:31:56.28\00:31:57.91
what's coming up
in Papua New Guinea.
00:31:57.95\00:31:59.55
That's right.
Tell us about that?
00:31:59.58\00:32:01.55
So you are going
to Papua New Guinea.
00:32:01.58\00:32:03.62
I mean it's on the other
side of the world from here.
00:32:03.69\00:32:06.55
It's a long way to
get there, I'll tell you.
00:32:06.59\00:32:08.19
Yeah, it takes a
long time... But it is.
00:32:08.22\00:32:10.23
But the need is unbelievable.
00:32:10.26\00:32:12.66
Where we're going
to be is Mount Hagen.
00:32:12.69\00:32:14.76
And it's essentially
an inaccessible place,
00:32:14.80\00:32:17.63
you have to fly in.
00:32:17.67\00:32:19.40
It's over mountainous terrain,
00:32:19.43\00:32:21.14
so people have to fly
in to get to Mount Hagen.
00:32:21.17\00:32:23.81
For example, about a
population of 200,000 people,
00:32:23.84\00:32:27.28
there are two dentists,
00:32:27.31\00:32:29.61
two dentists in the entire area.
00:32:29.64\00:32:32.11
As you can imagine,
00:32:32.15\00:32:34.12
the vast majority of
patients never receive care.
00:32:34.15\00:32:36.42
Same thing with medical care.
00:32:36.45\00:32:37.79
We were there
just a few months ago,
00:32:37.82\00:32:39.62
the hospital that we went into,
00:32:39.65\00:32:41.22
not a Seventh-day
Adventist Hospital,
00:32:41.26\00:32:42.59
but a very mission
minded government hospital.
00:32:42.62\00:32:45.93
Again, there's no
primary care doctors,
00:32:45.96\00:32:48.50
the greatest need is just
basic primary care medicine.
00:32:48.53\00:32:53.23
So, let alone surgeries
and all the rest of the stuff.
00:32:53.27\00:32:57.11
So we are looking to do... Yes.
00:32:57.14\00:32:59.14
Very excitedly,
Papua New Guinea.
00:32:59.17\00:33:01.94
Mount Hagen, Papua New
Guinea, March 23 to 26.
00:33:01.98\00:33:06.28
So we are needing
a lot of volunteers.
00:33:06.31\00:33:09.15
So tell us what you need?
00:33:09.18\00:33:11.19
Well, we need
volunteers first of all.
00:33:11.22\00:33:14.39
So you know, as we said,
as Hadassah mentioned earlier,
00:33:14.42\00:33:17.86
if you have a heartbeat
and a smile, we need you...
00:33:17.89\00:33:20.80
We need doctors. But we
especially need doctors.
00:33:20.83\00:33:22.83
And dentists.
00:33:22.86\00:33:24.20
Because this is a very
unique, challenging place.
00:33:24.27\00:33:26.50
As you said, Dr. Lela,
not a lot of doctors there,
00:33:26.53\00:33:28.84
not a lot of dentists.
00:33:28.87\00:33:30.31
And literally if you can
come as a doctor or a dentist,
00:33:30.34\00:33:33.68
you will make a
tremendous impact
00:33:33.71\00:33:35.84
on the numbers of
people that we can reach.
00:33:35.88\00:33:38.21
Now, I will just tell you,
00:33:38.25\00:33:39.58
when we showed
up two months ago,
00:33:39.61\00:33:40.95
we thought our goal was
maybe 2,000 to 3,000 patients.
00:33:40.98\00:33:43.25
Yeah, that's what I was telling.
00:33:43.28\00:33:44.75
You know, if this is how many,
00:33:44.79\00:33:46.15
you know, we can
expect to bring about,
00:33:46.19\00:33:47.79
the same, about the
same number of volunteers
00:33:47.82\00:33:49.89
we had in the Philippines.
00:33:49.92\00:33:51.26
Maybe 300, 400.
00:33:51.29\00:33:53.33
Buckle your seat belts,
00:33:53.40\00:33:54.73
because that's not
what they were wanting.
00:33:54.76\00:33:56.67
The people in PNG,
they have, they dream big.
00:33:56.70\00:33:59.50
They dream really big.
00:33:59.53\00:34:00.87
They do, they
have a lot of faith.
00:34:00.94\00:34:02.27
They're wonderful people.
00:34:02.30\00:34:03.64
They said, "Oh, no,
we were thinking 20,000."
00:34:03.67\00:34:06.47
Minimum of
20,000, Doctor, minimum.
00:34:06.51\00:34:09.34
And I said, oh, well..
00:34:09.38\00:34:10.75
And you should
have seen Lela's face.
00:34:10.78\00:34:14.85
I mean it's like.
Oh ye of little faith.
00:34:14.88\00:34:17.59
Yeah, mercy.
00:34:17.62\00:34:19.25
So we need you,
because in order to,
00:34:19.29\00:34:21.72
I mean, we don't know
how many we're going to be
00:34:21.76\00:34:23.09
able to treat, right?
00:34:23.12\00:34:24.46
We don't.
00:34:24.49\00:34:25.83
But you gonna need
physicians, nurses, dentists...
00:34:25.86\00:34:27.20
Physician, nurses,
dentists, massage therapists,
00:34:27.23\00:34:29.13
but lots of non
medical people too.
00:34:29.16\00:34:31.53
And the reason is
this, in order to provide
00:34:31.57\00:34:34.04
20,000 patients services,
00:34:34.07\00:34:35.97
we will be
doing cataract surgery
00:34:36.00\00:34:37.34
at the hospital,
00:34:37.41\00:34:38.74
we will be doing
the major surgeries like
00:34:38.77\00:34:40.11
we talked about,
hysterectomies and gall bladders
00:34:40.14\00:34:42.18
and various other
aspects of medicine.
00:34:42.21\00:34:44.61
We will have a pharmacy
again Hadassah, and we'll...
00:34:44.65\00:34:47.85
And we'll have young people
00:34:47.88\00:34:49.22
And we will
have lots of college.
00:34:49.25\00:34:50.59
Yeah, speaking
of, Dr. Lela, mom,
00:34:50.62\00:34:52.65
if I can butt in for a second.
00:34:52.69\00:34:54.32
Yes, yes, please.
00:34:54.36\00:34:56.49
So, it's over most institutions,
00:34:56.52\00:34:59.29
Loma Linda
University Medical Center,
00:34:59.33\00:35:01.36
medical school, as well as
most college's, spring break.
00:35:01.40\00:35:04.70
So, I want to just challenge
every single person to,
00:35:04.73\00:35:10.31
if you're able
to, to go to this,
00:35:10.34\00:35:12.01
because it's a once in
a lifetime opportunity,
00:35:12.04\00:35:14.44
and it will change your life.
00:35:14.48\00:35:15.81
Amen. That's awesome.
00:35:15.84\00:35:17.18
That is great. That's awesome.
00:35:17.25\00:35:18.58
That is so great.
00:35:18.61\00:35:19.95
It's so, you
know, it's one thing
00:35:19.98\00:35:21.65
when you see people
who are older doing this
00:35:21.68\00:35:24.72
because you have
that history with God,
00:35:24.75\00:35:27.26
and it's so
special seeing young people
00:35:27.29\00:35:30.33
getting involved
because they could be doing
00:35:30.36\00:35:32.43
so many other things
as you could be as well.
00:35:32.46\00:35:34.93
But I'm just saying...
00:35:34.96\00:35:36.30
Well, that's special,
00:35:36.33\00:35:37.67
it's special for
the young people.
00:35:37.70\00:35:39.03
There's so many
distractions for young people
00:35:39.07\00:35:40.44
and to know that,
00:35:40.47\00:35:41.80
you want to do
something to make a difference
00:35:41.84\00:35:43.17
for the kingdom of God.
00:35:43.20\00:35:44.54
That is huge.
00:35:44.57\00:35:45.91
If you've never gone on
a mission trip like this.
00:35:45.94\00:35:48.34
And you mentioned this,
00:35:48.38\00:35:49.71
I think earlier
in the program, Lela.
00:35:49.74\00:35:51.15
It can change your life... Yes.
00:35:51.18\00:35:53.75
It really can. Yes.
00:35:53.82\00:35:55.15
And it can change
your family's life,
00:35:55.18\00:35:56.52
come as a family.
00:35:56.55\00:35:57.89
Absolutely.
00:35:57.92\00:35:59.25
And you will see transformation,
00:35:59.29\00:36:00.62
not only in your lives,
00:36:00.66\00:36:01.99
but in the lives
of your children.
00:36:02.02\00:36:03.93
Your young adults, if
they're older, you know,
00:36:03.96\00:36:05.89
I mean, it can
really make a huge impact.
00:36:05.93\00:36:08.40
So I really want to appeal.
00:36:08.43\00:36:10.17
And you know, along those lines,
00:36:10.20\00:36:11.67
you know, we do need volunteers,
00:36:11.70\00:36:13.67
but things like this,
00:36:13.74\00:36:15.07
especially when
you're talking about
00:36:15.10\00:36:16.64
traveling around the
world, bringing in equipment,
00:36:16.71\00:36:19.14
20,000 patients
worth of equipment,
00:36:19.17\00:36:22.74
we need resources.
00:36:22.78\00:36:25.71
You know, this
costs a lot of money...
00:36:25.75\00:36:27.42
You need funds for this?
00:36:27.45\00:36:29.12
Yes, we do. And we have a video.
00:36:29.15\00:36:32.09
Pastor Kyle, do you want to tell
00:36:32.12\00:36:33.46
a little bit about the video
that they're going to show,
00:36:33.49\00:36:35.32
that we'll talk a little bit
00:36:35.36\00:36:36.73
about the
resources that we need.
00:36:36.76\00:36:38.23
But specifically, we
need dental equipment.
00:36:38.26\00:36:41.20
We have instruments
00:36:41.23\00:36:43.13
and dental equipment
and machines, if you will,
00:36:43.16\00:36:47.04
for about somewhere
between seven dentists.
00:36:47.07\00:36:50.71
We're looking at needing
at least 20 some dentists.
00:36:50.74\00:36:54.08
So, that, each of those
units costs a minimum of $3,000.
00:36:54.11\00:36:58.68
Yeah, now I just
want to make sure.
00:36:58.71\00:37:01.08
If you hear the
appeal for funds,
00:37:01.12\00:37:03.72
don't let that be an
excuse for not coming because...
00:37:03.79\00:37:05.52
Oh, please no.
We want you to know.
00:37:05.55\00:37:07.72
No, coming is
the most important.
00:37:07.76\00:37:09.09
What we do need.
00:37:09.12\00:37:10.46
If you can't come,
supporting financially
00:37:10.53\00:37:12.33
would be a great blessing.
00:37:12.36\00:37:13.70
Now, Adventist World
Radio, for those of you who,
00:37:13.73\00:37:17.10
those of our
viewers that may not know,
00:37:17.17\00:37:19.00
every year we do a gift catalog.
00:37:19.03\00:37:21.40
And what this gift catalog is,
00:37:21.44\00:37:22.77
it's an opportunity
where you can go through
00:37:22.80\00:37:24.34
and see specific
projects that you can sponsor.
00:37:24.37\00:37:27.61
So, like for
example, and a lot of them
00:37:27.64\00:37:29.38
are having to do
with radio broadcasting,
00:37:29.41\00:37:32.55
or different
aspects of evangelism.
00:37:32.58\00:37:35.05
So you can look
at that gift catalog
00:37:35.08\00:37:37.29
and find a project
that touches your heart
00:37:37.32\00:37:39.59
and then give.
00:37:39.62\00:37:40.96
What we want to show
you is, we have a video that
00:37:40.99\00:37:42.62
highlights a couple
of particular projects.
00:37:42.66\00:37:44.56
One of them is AWR360 Health,
00:37:44.59\00:37:47.43
and you can
actually help sponsor
00:37:47.50\00:37:50.20
life saving medical equipment
00:37:50.27\00:37:52.40
that will change
somebody's life forever.
00:37:52.43\00:37:54.94
And not only, again, as we said,
00:37:54.97\00:37:56.50
not only in the physical sense,
00:37:56.54\00:37:58.14
but because we're going
to invite all those that
00:37:58.17\00:37:59.87
come to these health
clinics to learn about Christ
00:37:59.91\00:38:03.65
and the three angels' messages,
00:38:03.68\00:38:05.01
to be a part of
His remnant church.
00:38:05.05\00:38:06.38
At Elder Wilson's
evangelistic series
00:38:06.41\00:38:08.65
that starts
subsequent to the mega clinic.
00:38:08.68\00:38:11.62
Oh, that's gonna be wonderful.
00:38:11.65\00:38:13.36
So it's all part of the package,
00:38:13.39\00:38:14.96
the radio broadcasting,
00:38:14.99\00:38:16.83
combining with the
health and the evangelism,
00:38:16.86\00:38:20.50
all with the
goal of leading people
00:38:20.53\00:38:22.43
to total health.
00:38:22.46\00:38:23.97
That's right.
Finding healing in Christ.
00:38:24.00\00:38:25.53
Amen. Amen.
00:38:25.57\00:38:26.94
Let's take a look at that video.
00:38:26.97\00:38:29.67
Hi, I'm Tammy
Lynn, and this is AWR360.
00:38:29.70\00:38:33.88
During this time of the year,
00:38:56.36\00:38:57.70
we'd like to
focus on blessing others
00:38:57.73\00:38:59.50
as we have been blessed.
00:38:59.53\00:39:00.87
That's why AWR has just
released a gift catalog,
00:39:00.94\00:39:03.71
showcasing our
projects around the world
00:39:03.74\00:39:06.21
in some of the
most challenging areas.
00:39:06.24\00:39:08.31
The projects listed
represent a broad spectrum
00:39:08.34\00:39:10.85
of AWR's
evangelistic outreach worldwide.
00:39:10.88\00:39:15.45
In 2028 AWR360
Health will be holding
00:39:15.48\00:39:18.69
its largest medical
clinic to date to help prepare
00:39:18.72\00:39:21.72
Papua New Guinea for
evangelistic meetings.
00:39:21.76\00:39:24.56
The plan is to
help 20,000 people
00:39:24.59\00:39:26.80
without any cost to them.
00:39:26.83\00:39:29.03
Your sponsorship
will provide supplies,
00:39:29.06\00:39:31.27
medical
equipment, and medication,
00:39:31.30\00:39:33.34
plus a sanitation
kit for each person.
00:39:33.37\00:39:36.47
Help be the right
arm of the gospel,
00:39:36.50\00:39:38.17
as many seek out the
faith of those who healed them.
00:39:38.21\00:39:41.18
In Central and South America,
00:39:44.81\00:39:46.51
more and more people
are walking into churches,
00:39:46.55\00:39:48.82
thanks to the radio.
00:39:48.85\00:39:50.89
You can help AWR360,
provide training to Central
00:39:50.92\00:39:53.89
and South
American radio producers,
00:39:53.96\00:39:55.89
as they learn to
become evangelists.
00:39:55.92\00:39:58.86
By gathering them
in a central location,
00:39:58.89\00:40:01.53
they will learn
how to take a listener
00:40:01.56\00:40:03.37
from broadcast to baptism,
00:40:03.40\00:40:05.77
multiplying the
results of each broadcast.
00:40:05.80\00:40:08.57
Show your gratitude by
giving an AWR love gift
00:40:12.11\00:40:14.64
this Thanksgiving season.
00:40:14.68\00:40:16.34
Is there any greater joy than
knowing that because of you,
00:40:16.38\00:40:19.28
the gospel was
sent across the world,
00:40:19.31\00:40:21.62
reaching souls whose
names will now be added
00:40:21.65\00:40:23.92
to the book of life.
00:40:23.99\00:40:25.35
Thank you for supporting
00:40:25.39\00:40:26.76
the work of
Adventist World Radio.
00:40:26.79\00:40:28.12
As together,
00:40:28.16\00:40:29.49
we prepare the world
for His second coming.
00:40:29.52\00:40:32.39
Have a Happy
Thanksgiving. This is AWR360.
00:40:32.43\00:40:36.43
You know, it
strikes me that God is doing
00:40:52.75\00:40:55.48
such amazing
things around the world.
00:40:55.52\00:40:58.12
You just know that
things are wrapping up,
00:40:58.15\00:41:01.29
that Jesus is coming back soon,
00:41:01.32\00:41:03.16
and that we have
this mandate to go
00:41:03.19\00:41:07.03
into all the world
and preach the gospel,
00:41:07.10\00:41:10.37
and follow
Christ's example of healing
00:41:10.40\00:41:13.67
and teaching and preaching.
00:41:13.74\00:41:15.60
Amen. And that's
what you're doing.
00:41:15.64\00:41:17.54
And it's so, to
me, it's exciting,
00:41:17.61\00:41:19.77
because you're
helping to prepare
00:41:19.81\00:41:21.84
the world for His return.
00:41:21.88\00:41:23.21
Amen.
00:41:23.24\00:41:24.58
And what better
thing than that is?
00:41:24.61\00:41:26.25
What more can we
do to get involved
00:41:26.28\00:41:30.39
with spreading the
gospel in this way?
00:41:30.42\00:41:33.96
I mean, it's tremendous.
00:41:33.99\00:41:35.36
And you know what's so exciting?
00:41:35.39\00:41:36.73
As we as we watched that video,
and we talked about ways that
00:41:36.76\00:41:39.86
we can get involved,
00:41:39.89\00:41:41.33
and we've talked about
our need for dental equipment.
00:41:41.36\00:41:43.77
The most important way we
can all of us get involved,
00:41:43.80\00:41:46.43
whether we can
go across the world
00:41:46.47\00:41:47.90
to Papua New Guinea, or
whether we have necessarily
00:41:47.94\00:41:50.34
the resources
sitting in our bank account.
00:41:50.41\00:41:53.04
We can all pray. That's right.
00:41:53.07\00:41:54.68
Just like what you're saying,
00:41:54.71\00:41:56.04
you know that
time is running out.
00:41:56.08\00:41:57.65
Yes.
00:41:57.68\00:41:59.01
And we need to
be earnestly praying
00:41:59.05\00:42:00.82
and putting our mouths,
00:42:00.85\00:42:03.18
and our hearts, and our
actions where it really matters.
00:42:03.22\00:42:07.06
That's right.
00:42:07.09\00:42:08.42
But I really want
to challenge people,
00:42:08.46\00:42:09.92
you know, sometimes,
00:42:09.96\00:42:12.16
you know, we look at things
and we look at it from that...
00:42:12.19\00:42:15.20
Oh, that seems so hard
to accomplish or that it's,
00:42:15.23\00:42:17.80
might be impossible for me
to go on that mission trip.
00:42:17.83\00:42:20.47
You know, God can do abundant,
exceedingly, abundantly
00:42:20.54\00:42:23.81
above all that we
can ask or imagine.
00:42:23.84\00:42:25.17
That's right.
00:42:25.21\00:42:26.54
And I want to challenge anybody
00:42:26.57\00:42:27.91
that may be
watching to really test God,
00:42:27.94\00:42:31.05
and to step out in faith.
00:42:31.08\00:42:33.31
Come on one of these trips.
00:42:33.35\00:42:36.99
Get involved,
even if you can't come.
00:42:37.02\00:42:40.86
If all of us, if all
of us would do our part.
00:42:40.89\00:42:44.06
You know, each one has a
gift they've been given by God.
00:42:44.13\00:42:47.40
And I think that's
the point here, is that,
00:42:47.43\00:42:49.43
when we're all working together
00:42:49.46\00:42:51.33
with what God has
given us, we will see,
00:42:51.37\00:42:55.14
that's when we will see
the Holy Spirit poured out,
00:42:55.17\00:42:57.01
and God will be
able to use this church
00:42:57.04\00:42:58.97
to reach the world for Christ.
00:42:59.01\00:43:00.38
That's right. In
Papua New Guinea.
00:43:00.41\00:43:03.11
You know, we talked about
the numbers that they're hoping
00:43:03.14\00:43:05.21
for the health
clinic, they are actually,
00:43:05.25\00:43:07.88
their faith is so big.
00:43:07.92\00:43:09.72
It's incredible.
00:43:09.75\00:43:11.19
They are actually
hoping and praying.
00:43:11.22\00:43:13.22
I don't know if you want...
00:43:13.25\00:43:14.59
Do you want me to tell
you what they're hoping for?
00:43:14.62\00:43:15.96
Yes, yes, tell us.
00:43:15.99\00:43:17.79
Dr. Lela, do you
want to just share?
00:43:17.83\00:43:19.53
Go for it. Okay.
00:43:19.56\00:43:21.76
Because and look,
it's not about numbers,
00:43:21.80\00:43:23.87
and I'm not sharing
this as a, you know,
00:43:23.90\00:43:26.53
in terms of a numbers
thing, but I'm just sharing this
00:43:26.57\00:43:28.57
to say that their faith is big.
00:43:28.60\00:43:30.97
They are praying
for 200,000 baptisms.
00:43:31.01\00:43:35.01
Amen. Amen. And I'm telling you.
00:43:35.04\00:43:38.25
It's hard to even
wrap your mind around.
00:43:38.28\00:43:39.61
It's hard to
wrap your mind around,
00:43:39.65\00:43:40.98
but just to give
you a sense of how big
00:43:41.02\00:43:42.65
their effort is there.
00:43:42.68\00:43:44.19
In one conference
alone, already they have
00:43:44.22\00:43:46.32
50,000 people in
Bible studies for baptism.
00:43:46.35\00:43:49.36
In one conference alone?
00:43:49.39\00:43:50.73
Yes, in another conference,
they've already built
00:43:50.76\00:43:53.13
300 churches in advance
of the evangelistic meetings.
00:43:53.16\00:43:56.16
There's only one problem.
They're all full already.
00:43:56.20\00:44:00.24
So, in addition to the health...
00:44:00.27\00:44:01.87
Well not just that, I
understand there was a number
00:44:01.90\00:44:05.14
of non-Seventh-day
Adventist churches...
00:44:05.17\00:44:07.08
Yes.
00:44:07.11\00:44:08.44
That have now,
because of the Bible study
00:44:08.48\00:44:09.81
that the church
members are doing,
00:44:09.84\00:44:11.18
they've already taken
down their other church name
00:44:11.21\00:44:14.35
and put
Seventh-day Adventist signs
00:44:14.38\00:44:15.98
on the outside
of their churches.
00:44:16.02\00:44:17.39
Yes, that's correct.
00:44:17.42\00:44:18.75
So what their goal
of 20,000 patients,
00:44:18.79\00:44:21.06
is actually,
probably a low number,
00:44:21.09\00:44:23.43
I dare say.
00:44:23.46\00:44:24.79
So we are going to be focusing.
00:44:24.83\00:44:26.16
Yvonne, I forgot
to tell you this,
00:44:26.19\00:44:27.53
we are going to be
focusing a huge portion
00:44:27.60\00:44:30.17
of Papua New Guinea
on lifestyle medicine,
00:44:30.20\00:44:32.80
because simple principles,
00:44:32.83\00:44:34.70
trash up to one's hip,
walking down the street
00:44:34.74\00:44:38.71
it's just, it's deplorable.
00:44:38.74\00:44:41.11
And the chewing of beetle nut.
00:44:41.14\00:44:42.48
Beetle nut,
everywhere, juice everywhere.
00:44:42.51\00:44:45.38
We walked through, and now,
00:44:45.41\00:44:46.92
I wanted to tell
this one miracle story.
00:44:46.95\00:44:48.28
Okay, yeah.
00:44:48.32\00:44:49.65
We didn't know
where to hold the event.
00:44:49.68\00:44:51.05
There's no big coliseum like
we saw there in Philippines,
00:44:51.09\00:44:55.59
and there's really no
school like we had in India.
00:44:55.62\00:44:58.69
We had nowhere
to have our event.
00:44:58.73\00:45:01.06
And so they took
us to a couple fields,
00:45:01.10\00:45:03.06
literally grassy
fields with trash everywhere,
00:45:03.10\00:45:07.17
beetle nut everywhere,
00:45:07.24\00:45:08.64
people just lying on the ground.
00:45:08.67\00:45:10.51
Yeah. What about this place?
00:45:10.54\00:45:12.14
And I was like, I'm
not feeling it, Kyle.
00:45:12.17\00:45:14.84
I was feeling
it, but she wasn't,
00:45:14.88\00:45:17.81
I am like, He kept
looking at me and I'm like...
00:45:17.85\00:45:19.88
I said, "But, Lela,
00:45:19.91\00:45:21.25
it's in the middle of the town."
00:45:21.28\00:45:22.62
I'm not feeling it,
Kyle. I mean, I'm trying.
00:45:22.65\00:45:23.99
I'm praying to God.
00:45:24.02\00:45:25.35
I'm like, Lord, please show me,
00:45:25.39\00:45:26.76
I don't want to
be short of faith.
00:45:26.79\00:45:28.12
Please show me.
00:45:28.16\00:45:29.49
And if she's not
convinced, it ain't happening.
00:45:29.52\00:45:30.86
Okay.
00:45:30.89\00:45:32.23
I'm just telling
you, I'm praying like,
00:45:32.26\00:45:33.60
Lord, please,
help her to see this.
00:45:33.63\00:45:34.96
Okay, all of a sudden, I
guess God answered his prayer.
00:45:35.00\00:45:37.63
Because, all of a
sudden, I turned to my left
00:45:37.67\00:45:40.97
and I saw this dilapidated stage
00:45:41.00\00:45:42.94
that they were
talking about having,
00:45:42.97\00:45:44.31
and it was like, the
things falling over...
00:45:44.34\00:45:45.67
It was.
00:45:45.71\00:45:47.08
It was in the
middle of the field.
00:45:47.11\00:45:48.44
It wasn't helping our case.
00:45:48.48\00:45:49.81
And I was just like, it's just
not happening right now, Kyle.
00:45:49.84\00:45:51.81
It's just not happening.
I was getting worried.
00:45:51.85\00:45:55.62
I looked to my left,
and I saw a grassy knoll,
00:45:55.65\00:46:00.26
no joke, and on
the top of this knoll,
00:46:00.29\00:46:03.26
it kind of went down.
00:46:03.29\00:46:04.63
There was all this grass.
00:46:04.66\00:46:06.80
And I kind of, all of
a sudden had this idea.
00:46:06.83\00:46:09.63
Okay, Lord, we
have 20, 30,000 people,
00:46:09.66\00:46:12.83
there's no way our doctors,
we're never going to get
00:46:12.87\00:46:14.87
enough doctors to be
able to provide services
00:46:14.90\00:46:16.71
for all these people.
00:46:16.74\00:46:18.17
If we had them seated,
00:46:18.21\00:46:20.31
and we're standing
on this grassy area
00:46:20.38\00:46:22.54
while they're
eating their lunches,
00:46:22.58\00:46:25.38
and we begin to
present whole person help like
00:46:25.41\00:46:28.08
we did in the Philippines,
when God took control
00:46:28.12\00:46:30.29
of the elements.
00:46:30.32\00:46:31.69
It would be like
Jesus. That's right.
00:46:31.72\00:46:33.76
There He was on the grassy area,
00:46:33.79\00:46:35.76
and He stood up to
speak to the people after
00:46:35.79\00:46:37.76
He gave them full stomachs.
00:46:37.79\00:46:40.50
And I thought, Kyle, this is it.
00:46:40.53\00:46:45.07
And... This is it.
00:46:45.10\00:46:47.04
All of a sudden
it was like this.
00:46:47.07\00:46:48.74
God wants this to happen.
00:46:48.77\00:46:50.24
You had that image
in your mind of Jesus...
00:46:50.31\00:46:51.64
Yes, Jesus
wanted this to happen.
00:46:51.67\00:46:53.27
Preaching to the multitude.
00:46:53.31\00:46:54.64
And once that
clicked in her mind,
00:46:54.68\00:46:56.01
I knew it was over.
00:46:56.04\00:46:57.38
I knew this was the
place, we were good.
00:46:57.45\00:46:58.78
And then to top it all off,
00:46:58.81\00:47:00.15
we found out the
name of that park,
00:47:00.18\00:47:01.52
where the clinic's going to
be, you know what the name is?
00:47:01.55\00:47:02.95
No. It's called
the Queen's Park.
00:47:02.98\00:47:05.22
And we found out the reason
00:47:05.25\00:47:06.59
that it's
called the Queen's Park
00:47:06.62\00:47:07.96
is because Queen Elizabeth spoke
00:47:07.99\00:47:09.69
from that grassy knoll.
00:47:09.72\00:47:11.06
Spoke from that same spot. Yeah.
00:47:11.09\00:47:12.49
And, of course,
we didn't know that.
00:47:12.53\00:47:14.20
And to me it
said, you know what?
00:47:14.23\00:47:16.90
God is gonna
provide the volunteers,
00:47:16.97\00:47:18.73
maybe there's somebody
out there watching right now,
00:47:18.77\00:47:21.34
who Jesus is impressing.
00:47:21.37\00:47:22.70
Amen.
00:47:22.74\00:47:24.11
You need to come,
God's gonna provide,
00:47:24.14\00:47:26.31
God's gonna
provide us the money that
00:47:26.34\00:47:28.21
we need to get that equipment.
00:47:28.24\00:47:29.88
We don't have that money,
00:47:29.91\00:47:31.45
but somebody is going to
donate towards that equipment.
00:47:31.48\00:47:33.72
Amen. Because
this is His mission.
00:47:33.75\00:47:35.08
That's right.
00:47:35.12\00:47:36.45
And we know that,
00:47:36.48\00:47:37.82
if God has called us to do this,
00:47:37.85\00:47:39.19
He is going to make
sure it's fulfilled.
00:47:39.22\00:47:40.56
That's right.
00:47:40.59\00:47:41.92
But we need you, we
need the volunteers.
00:47:41.96\00:47:43.43
We need you to
consider volunteering
00:47:43.46\00:47:45.36
to support financially
00:47:45.39\00:47:46.73
and of course
most of all, to pray.
00:47:46.80\00:47:48.50
Because God is able to
do it through His power.
00:47:48.53\00:47:51.77
And He will do it.
00:47:51.80\00:47:53.13
He is going to lay on
people's hearts to give
00:47:53.17\00:47:56.20
what you need,
to have this done.
00:47:56.24\00:47:58.71
The important thing is,
00:47:58.74\00:48:00.98
to make
ourselves available to God,
00:48:01.01\00:48:04.31
for Him to use
us in whatever way,
00:48:04.35\00:48:06.85
whether it's
giving, whether it's going,
00:48:06.92\00:48:09.28
whether it's both...
00:48:09.32\00:48:10.69
That's right.
Whatever we can do.
00:48:10.72\00:48:12.29
If we do what we can
do, that's what God wants.
00:48:12.32\00:48:16.12
And it reminds me of a
simple story, but again,
00:48:16.16\00:48:19.63
another person who
gave their heart to Jesus.
00:48:19.66\00:48:22.50
A gentleman came
to one of our events,
00:48:22.53\00:48:24.40
in Spokane, actually.
00:48:24.43\00:48:26.00
He was homeless.
00:48:26.03\00:48:27.37
He had very long
hair, only had one outfit.
00:48:27.44\00:48:29.90
He had nothing. He
came in for dental care.
00:48:29.94\00:48:32.51
He got love shown to him,
00:48:32.54\00:48:34.11
Jesus loved, he just
couldn't understand it.
00:48:34.18\00:48:37.38
Who are you people
00:48:37.45\00:48:38.78
and why are you
doing this for us?
00:48:38.81\00:48:40.32
He came, he got a haircut
after getting his teeth fixed.
00:48:40.35\00:48:43.52
He went over, he found
out our clothing department
00:48:43.59\00:48:46.15
was giving away men's suits.
00:48:46.19\00:48:47.76
He got a brand new men's
suit, a beautiful haircut.
00:48:47.79\00:48:51.23
He left that facility
after giving his heart,
00:48:51.26\00:48:53.80
going to the chapel and
giving his heart to Jesus.
00:48:53.83\00:48:55.86
He went to a
job placement agency
00:48:55.90\00:48:57.83
and God got him a job.
00:48:57.87\00:48:59.57
And he can came back.
00:48:59.60\00:49:00.94
And he told the tailor pastor,
00:49:00.97\00:49:03.14
they were kind
of a tailor Pastor,
00:49:03.17\00:49:04.77
how much this event
had changed his life.
00:49:04.81\00:49:08.34
Not just physically
with his teeth, and mentally,
00:49:08.38\00:49:11.55
emotionally and most
importantly spiritually.
00:49:11.58\00:49:13.72
So my question
is, if that can happen
00:49:13.75\00:49:16.42
in Spokane, Washington.
00:49:16.45\00:49:17.79
Yes.
00:49:17.82\00:49:19.15
What can happen
in Papua New Guinea
00:49:19.19\00:49:20.56
where they have no healthcare?
00:49:20.59\00:49:22.79
Can young people
be involved, Hadassah?
00:49:22.82\00:49:25.56
Can we be involved
when we're younger?
00:49:25.59\00:49:27.20
Yes.
00:49:27.23\00:49:28.56
Can we be
involved when we're older?
00:49:28.60\00:49:29.96
Absolutely.
00:49:30.00\00:49:31.33
Can we be involved
if we're not medical?
00:49:31.37\00:49:33.47
Amen.
00:49:33.54\00:49:34.87
I can tell people,
00:49:34.90\00:49:36.24
I can't tell the
difference between
00:49:36.27\00:49:37.61
a stethoscope and a syringe.
00:49:37.64\00:49:39.54
But I can smile, and I can help.
00:49:39.57\00:49:44.41
And that's what
counts. So we need you.
00:49:44.45\00:49:47.68
We need you. Yes, yes.
00:49:47.72\00:49:50.69
Tell, Hadassah,
in 30 seconds or so.
00:49:50.72\00:49:53.86
Tell young people
why they should come?
00:49:53.89\00:49:56.62
I have heard so many stories.
00:49:56.66\00:49:57.99
I've seen so many
stories about people
00:49:58.03\00:50:00.80
that go to these
events and some of my friends,
00:50:00.83\00:50:05.10
they've gone on mission
trips, and they've come back
00:50:05.13\00:50:07.04
completely changed
people, myself included.
00:50:07.07\00:50:09.70
A mission trip
like this, there's no,
00:50:09.74\00:50:12.64
it can change your life.
00:50:12.67\00:50:14.01
It will.
00:50:14.08\00:50:15.41
And I encourage
every single one of you
00:50:15.44\00:50:17.55
watching this,
00:50:17.58\00:50:18.91
to go and sign
up, to volunteer to go
00:50:18.95\00:50:20.55
to Papua New Guinea in March.
00:50:20.62\00:50:22.35
Thank you. Very good, very good.
00:50:22.38\00:50:24.82
So, what do you expect
00:50:24.85\00:50:29.02
when you go to Papua New Guinea?
00:50:29.06\00:50:31.36
What is your expectation
as to what's going to happen,
00:50:31.39\00:50:34.80
based on what's
happened in the past?
00:50:34.83\00:50:36.80
Honestly, I have no idea. Wow.
00:50:36.87\00:50:39.27
I don't know what
God is going to do.
00:50:39.30\00:50:41.07
When I got to India
and I saw that place.
00:50:41.10\00:50:44.74
It was a school, it was
00:50:44.77\00:50:46.11
the Seventh-day
Adventist school,
00:50:46.14\00:50:47.48
transformed into a mega clinic.
00:50:47.51\00:50:50.95
And God brought the
people and changed their hearts,
00:50:50.98\00:50:54.02
and changed our
volunteers' hearts...
00:50:54.05\00:50:55.68
Yes.
00:50:55.72\00:50:58.05
There's no words to describe it.
00:50:58.09\00:51:00.46
And I am looking forward
to seeing Papua New Guinea
00:51:00.49\00:51:04.59
as a changed community.
00:51:04.63\00:51:06.90
Amen. As a changed government.
00:51:06.93\00:51:08.50
Yes.
00:51:08.53\00:51:09.86
It's amazing how many people
00:51:09.90\00:51:11.23
within the
Seventh-day Adventist church,
00:51:11.27\00:51:12.60
God's already placed
in positions of influence.
00:51:12.63\00:51:14.90
That's right. That's right.
00:51:14.94\00:51:16.27
So I'm not sure
what God has in store,
00:51:16.30\00:51:17.64
but I know it's
going to be amazing.
00:51:17.67\00:51:19.01
Amen. I know it is too.
00:51:19.04\00:51:21.01
And I know that you
probably want to get involved.
00:51:21.04\00:51:24.28
There's
something that you can do.
00:51:24.31\00:51:26.08
You know that
they need volunteers.
00:51:26.11\00:51:28.12
They need resources, funding,
prayer, all of the above.
00:51:28.15\00:51:32.95
So we're going to give you
00:51:32.99\00:51:34.66
the address where
you can send funds,
00:51:34.69\00:51:38.09
you can pray for them,
but we're going to give you
00:51:38.13\00:51:40.90
that address right now.
00:51:40.93\00:51:44.33

Spirit is impressing you
