As you're well aware,
00:00:01.66\00:00:03.00
we're living in
unprecedented times.
00:00:03.03\00:00:05.60
Join us now for
today's special program.
00:00:05.63\00:00:07.97
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.67\00:00:18.31
Mending broken people
00:00:18.35\00:00:23.32
I want to spend my life
00:00:23.35\00:00:29.22
Removing pain
00:00:29.26\00:00:34.20
Lord, let my words
00:00:34.23\00:00:39.70
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:39.73\00:00:44.61
I want to spend my life
00:00:44.64\00:00:50.25
Mending broken people
00:00:50.28\00:00:55.32
I want to spend my life
00:00:55.35\00:01:00.92
Mending broken people
00:01:00.96\00:01:04.89
Hello, and welcome to
another 3ABN Today program.
00:01:13.60\00:01:16.17
We're so glad that
you joined us today.
00:01:16.20\00:01:18.47
Thank you for your
prayers and financial support
00:01:18.51\00:01:20.88
for the ministry of 3ABN.
00:01:20.91\00:01:23.28
Now today's video is
going to be a fun program,
00:01:23.31\00:01:25.61
as all Today programs are,
00:01:25.65\00:01:27.22
but we're gonna be going
to a number of video rolls.
00:01:27.25\00:01:30.29
And normally when we go to ASI,
00:01:30.32\00:01:33.15
the International
Convention, usually we go there,
00:01:33.19\00:01:35.66
3ABN has a booth,
00:01:35.69\00:01:37.36
we get to interact with
a lot of other exhibitors,
00:01:37.39\00:01:40.20
other ministries that are there.
00:01:40.23\00:01:42.46
And, then of course,
you see the main stage
00:01:42.50\00:01:43.97
and what happens at ASI.
00:01:44.00\00:01:45.70
Well, as you all know,
00:01:45.73\00:01:47.07
ASI didn't happen
as it normally does.
00:01:47.10\00:01:49.40
ASI came here to 3ABN
00:01:49.44\00:01:51.34
and they did a virtual
ASI International Convention
00:01:51.37\00:01:54.81
right here at 3ABN,
00:01:54.84\00:01:56.71
and a number of video
rolls were provided for us
00:01:56.75\00:01:59.81
to be able to air.
00:01:59.85\00:02:01.18
So that's what
we're doing today.
00:02:01.22\00:02:02.55
I know I love that about ASI
00:02:02.58\00:02:04.75
because the whole focus of ASI
00:02:04.79\00:02:06.62
is sharing Jesus
in the marketplace,
00:02:06.65\00:02:10.86
whether you're
a business person,
00:02:10.89\00:02:12.36
lay person, professional,
00:02:12.39\00:02:14.86
work in the church or
don't work in the church,
00:02:14.90\00:02:16.83
it's still sharing
Jesus in the marketplace.
00:02:16.87\00:02:20.17
And I love that about ASI.
00:02:20.20\00:02:21.84
And every time we
go, as Greg mentioned,
00:02:21.87\00:02:23.81
we always bring back
stories for you at home,
00:02:23.84\00:02:26.81
stories of ministries
that are going and growing,
00:02:26.84\00:02:29.71
ministries that
are sharing the gospel
00:02:29.74\00:02:32.01
in their corner of the world,
00:02:32.05\00:02:33.38
or sometimes they go
overseas and share the gospel.
00:02:33.42\00:02:36.65
So we're so grateful for ASI
00:02:36.69\00:02:38.79
for providing
these special rolls
00:02:38.82\00:02:41.09
featuring part
of the ASI family,
00:02:41.12\00:02:44.63
featuring what God is doing.
00:02:44.66\00:02:46.66
And a lot of the rolls
today, not all of them,
00:02:46.70\00:02:49.23
but many of them
are centered on those
00:02:49.26\00:02:51.20
either young in
physical age or young at heart.
00:02:51.23\00:02:55.60
Okay.
00:02:55.64\00:02:56.97
I'm not sure
where do I fall in that?
00:02:57.01\00:02:58.34
Oh, you're young.
Okay. Thank you, Baby.
00:02:58.37\00:02:59.71
Because if
you're young, I'm young.
00:02:59.74\00:03:01.08
Yes, that's a good point.
00:03:01.11\00:03:02.81
You are young.
00:03:02.84\00:03:04.18
Yet but it's a
blessing like you mentioned
00:03:04.21\00:03:05.55
when we were there at ASI
normally our production crew,
00:03:05.58\00:03:07.48
of course, is
working main stage.
00:03:07.52\00:03:08.85
But then we get
to do the interviews
00:03:08.88\00:03:10.52
around the 3ABN booth.
00:03:10.55\00:03:11.89
We couldn't do it this year.
00:03:11.92\00:03:13.25
But I'm so excited
00:03:13.29\00:03:14.62
that we are
still able to feature
00:03:14.66\00:03:15.99
a number of the ministries
that are partnering with ASI.
00:03:16.02\00:03:18.96
And we love all
of these ministries.
00:03:18.99\00:03:20.36
So we are so blessed,
00:03:20.40\00:03:21.73
we share them
with you many times,
00:03:21.76\00:03:23.93
many of these ministries.
00:03:23.97\00:03:25.30
So the first one
before we go to the first one,
00:03:25.33\00:03:27.67
I just want to share a scripture
00:03:27.70\00:03:29.04
because it goes
with those who are young
00:03:29.07\00:03:30.41
or young at heart.
00:03:30.44\00:03:31.77
Remember, this is
Matthew Chapter 19.
00:03:31.81\00:03:34.41
Remember when
the little children
00:03:34.44\00:03:35.78
were brought to
Jesus and the disciples,
00:03:35.81\00:03:37.61
they got kind of upset
00:03:37.65\00:03:38.98
'cause they thought
the important people,
00:03:39.01\00:03:41.98
well, they are the
ones who need to see Jesus
00:03:42.02\00:03:44.32
and clearly the
children wouldn't be
00:03:44.35\00:03:46.12
in that category.
00:03:46.15\00:03:47.72
And in Matthew
19:14, Jesus said,
00:03:47.76\00:03:51.66
"Let the little
children come to me,
00:03:51.69\00:03:54.80
do not forbid them,
00:03:54.83\00:03:56.63
for such is the
kingdom of heaven."
00:03:56.67\00:03:59.20
And He laid His hands on
them and He blessed them.
00:03:59.23\00:04:02.47
And so I just see
the love of our Father,
00:04:02.50\00:04:05.74
the love of Jesus
for little children
00:04:05.77\00:04:09.18
and we're all young at heart
00:04:09.21\00:04:10.85
and we all need to
come to Him in that fashion.
00:04:10.88\00:04:13.38
The first place we're
going to is actually a school.
00:04:13.42\00:04:16.15
This is Ouachita Hills College.
00:04:16.18\00:04:19.35
They have an academy. They do.
00:04:19.39\00:04:20.72
We've been there.
00:04:20.76\00:04:22.09
I know this school was started
by Dr. Clark and his wife,
00:04:22.12\00:04:24.79
Mrs. Harriet Clark,
they've done an incredible job.
00:04:24.83\00:04:27.33
Magda Rodriguez
is the president now
00:04:27.36\00:04:29.43
of the college
00:04:29.46\00:04:30.80
and it's an
amazing outreach ministry
00:04:30.83\00:04:35.04
for young people.
00:04:35.07\00:04:36.40
Really, as we've
been to that campus
00:04:36.44\00:04:37.77
and it's gorgeous.
00:04:37.81\00:04:39.14
You know, it's out in nature.
00:04:39.17\00:04:40.51
You go down these back
00:04:40.54\00:04:41.88
when we were there
a few years ago there,
00:04:41.91\00:04:43.24
some dusty dirt roads,
00:04:43.28\00:04:44.61
but just beautiful just opens up
00:04:44.65\00:04:45.98
into a beautiful campus
00:04:46.01\00:04:47.35
and it's amazing
what God has done.
00:04:47.38\00:04:48.72
So we're going to
hear an exciting report
00:04:48.75\00:04:50.92
from Ouachita Hills
Academy and College.
00:04:50.95\00:04:56.06
It's so good.
00:04:56.09\00:04:57.43
You could join us
this evening for ASI here,
00:04:57.46\00:05:00.33
Joshua and Dailyn.
00:05:00.36\00:05:02.83
I just would like you to explain
00:05:02.86\00:05:04.33
a little bit about canvassing
00:05:04.37\00:05:06.00
for those who aren't
familiar with that program,
00:05:06.03\00:05:08.84
and also was curious,
00:05:08.87\00:05:10.21
is it a big part
00:05:10.24\00:05:11.57
of the Ouachita
Hills curriculum?
00:05:11.61\00:05:15.34
So canvassing is a big part
of Ouachita Hills curriculum.
00:05:15.38\00:05:19.95
We canvass
throughout the semester,
00:05:19.98\00:05:21.48
we also canvas
00:05:21.52\00:05:22.85
during the summer
and the winter break,
00:05:22.88\00:05:24.95
and canvassing is
where we take on books
00:05:24.99\00:05:27.92
like The Great Controversy,
00:05:27.96\00:05:29.32
and The Desire of
Ages, and Steps to Christ,
00:05:29.36\00:05:31.73
some books that
help and inspire people,
00:05:31.76\00:05:33.53
we take those door to
door, and we give them away,
00:05:33.56\00:05:36.26
we sell them,
00:05:36.30\00:05:37.63
and we just try to meet
the needs of the people.
00:05:37.67\00:05:40.64
That's wonderful.
00:05:40.67\00:05:42.24
So I was curious,
00:05:42.27\00:05:44.21
has COVID-19 affected
the canvassing program
00:05:44.24\00:05:48.28
at all this summer?
00:05:48.31\00:05:51.05
Um, well, it's interesting,
00:05:51.08\00:05:52.98
COVID-19 has affected
the canvassing program
00:05:53.01\00:05:55.85
in a very positive way.
00:05:55.88\00:05:58.35
We've actually
had phenomenal success
00:05:58.39\00:06:00.72
in this program,
00:06:00.76\00:06:02.09
I've been
canvassing for three years,
00:06:02.12\00:06:04.13
and I've never saw the success
that I've seen in this program.
00:06:04.16\00:06:08.90
So many books have gone out,
00:06:08.93\00:06:10.27
so many people are interested
in The Great Controversy.
00:06:10.30\00:06:13.50
And I've seen, I saw
that COVID-19 has helped us,
00:06:13.54\00:06:17.17
it helped people see a need,
00:06:17.21\00:06:19.04
it helped people
think about eternity
00:06:19.07\00:06:23.71
and different things like that.
00:06:23.75\00:06:25.78
And it's been a blessing.
00:06:25.81\00:06:27.15
And we've just seen
00:06:27.18\00:06:28.52
amazing, amazing
success in this program.
00:06:28.55\00:06:31.35
You know, that's
really surprising to me,
00:06:31.39\00:06:33.76
because I would think
that people would be afraid
00:06:33.79\00:06:35.79
to open their doors.
00:06:35.82\00:06:38.96
Yes, you know, we
were like, surprised also,
00:06:38.99\00:06:41.66
because whenever we
were coming to the program,
00:06:41.70\00:06:44.37
we were thinking that
people would be very aware
00:06:44.40\00:06:48.37
and very kind of
like apprehensive
00:06:48.40\00:06:50.71
to open their doors,
00:06:50.74\00:06:52.21
and even be willing to
get any of these materials
00:06:52.24\00:06:54.71
with everything that's going on.
00:06:54.74\00:06:56.24
But we found
00:06:56.28\00:06:57.61
that God has
actually turned this thing
00:06:57.65\00:07:00.05
into something good.
00:07:00.08\00:07:01.92
People are actually like
00:07:01.95\00:07:03.69
missing the contact with others,
00:07:03.72\00:07:07.72
and just having
somebody come after so many,
00:07:07.76\00:07:11.16
you know, weeks of
them just being isolated,
00:07:11.19\00:07:14.46
and bringing them
hope for the future
00:07:14.50\00:07:17.17
that is found in
God that has just,
00:07:17.20\00:07:20.24
it's been wonderful.
00:07:20.27\00:07:21.74
And so they're,
00:07:21.77\00:07:23.20
you know, the
response that we've gotten
00:07:23.24\00:07:24.74
from the people
00:07:24.77\00:07:26.11
has been far better
than any I've ever seen,
00:07:26.14\00:07:28.98
you know, in my
short time of canvassing
00:07:29.01\00:07:31.55
and so, yeah,
00:07:31.58\00:07:32.91
we were also
very, very surprised
00:07:32.95\00:07:34.78
at how things turned out.
00:07:34.82\00:07:36.75
You know, that
makes a lot of sense.
00:07:36.79\00:07:38.72
Wow.
00:07:38.75\00:07:40.09
So I bet you meet a
lot of interesting people
00:07:40.12\00:07:41.92
when you're out there.
00:07:41.96\00:07:43.39
So I wonder, can you share
00:07:43.43\00:07:45.49
somebody that
stands out in your mind
00:07:45.53\00:07:47.16
that you met this summer?
00:07:47.20\00:07:50.33
Yeah, actually,
this just happened
00:07:50.37\00:07:52.93
like the other
day, like very recently.
00:07:52.97\00:07:57.34
Joshua dropped me
off, he was the mobile one.
00:07:57.37\00:08:00.34
And he dropped me
off at this gas station
00:08:00.38\00:08:02.14
right after lunch.
00:08:02.18\00:08:03.81
And I was not mentally prepared.
00:08:03.85\00:08:06.15
And I was not really
willing to go either.
00:08:06.18\00:08:09.25
My initial response
when he said, okay, Dailyn,
00:08:09.28\00:08:11.39
this is where you go,
00:08:11.42\00:08:12.75
I was like, I don't want to go.
00:08:12.79\00:08:16.02
But the Lord just
kind of told me like,
00:08:16.06\00:08:18.29
be quick about it,
just talk to this person.
00:08:18.33\00:08:21.26
And the gentleman
I was speaking to,
00:08:21.30\00:08:23.06
he was not really interested.
00:08:23.10\00:08:24.43
He was super quick. He
told me speak to my wife.
00:08:24.47\00:08:27.80
And so, I
started canvassing them
00:08:27.84\00:08:29.74
on a children's book.
00:08:29.77\00:08:31.57
But the moment I pulled
out The Great Controversy,
00:08:31.61\00:08:33.94
and I started
canvassing her on that one,
00:08:33.98\00:08:37.15
she immediately
froze, and she was like,
00:08:37.18\00:08:40.55
wow, you have no idea.
00:08:40.58\00:08:42.92
You might think
this is a coincidence.
00:08:42.95\00:08:44.85
But yesterday, I was
talking to my children
00:08:44.89\00:08:48.19
about what's in this book,
00:08:48.22\00:08:50.13
what you just told
me that it's about,
00:08:50.16\00:08:51.99
and I just got off the
phone right now with my brother.
00:08:52.03\00:08:55.40
And he was, I was telling him
00:08:55.43\00:08:58.00
that all of the riots and
everything that's going on
00:08:58.03\00:09:00.27
is actually a sign
that the end is near.
00:09:00.30\00:09:04.04
And then you come and
you show me this book,
00:09:04.07\00:09:06.84
like you might think
this is a coincidence,
00:09:06.88\00:09:09.04
but I know God sent you
00:09:09.08\00:09:11.55
and I know God sent these books.
00:09:11.58\00:09:13.75
And that just blew me away.
00:09:13.78\00:09:16.89
Because I've never seen
God work like so clearly.
00:09:16.92\00:09:20.76
Just a few minutes
right before I was dropped off
00:09:20.79\00:09:25.03
and I met this lady,
00:09:25.06\00:09:26.49
and I told her at canvas
that I usually never use,
00:09:26.53\00:09:28.86
but the Lord works it out.
00:09:28.90\00:09:30.67
Amen. Praise the Lord.
00:09:30.70\00:09:32.70
And I know you shared
earlier with me, Joshua,
00:09:32.73\00:09:35.17
a story about somebody too.
00:09:35.20\00:09:37.24
Do you want to share that?
00:09:37.27\00:09:39.91
Yeah, I was
canvassing several weeks ago
00:09:39.94\00:09:42.14
and I had knocked on this door.
00:09:42.18\00:09:44.81
It was really nice home
00:09:44.85\00:09:46.18
and this
gentleman came to the door.
00:09:46.21\00:09:48.45
And I began canvassing him
and he was a bigger gentleman,
00:09:48.48\00:09:52.72
um, looked like
00:09:52.75\00:09:54.39
somebody that would not be
00:09:54.42\00:09:55.76
too interested
in Christian books.
00:09:55.79\00:09:58.09
And, but I continue to
tell him about our books,
00:09:58.13\00:10:00.00
tell him about
The Great Controversy
00:10:00.03\00:10:01.36
and The Desire of Ages.
00:10:01.40\00:10:03.40
And he began showing interest.
00:10:03.43\00:10:05.67
And he ended up
buying three books from me.
00:10:05.70\00:10:08.67
And after he bought
the books from me, he said,
00:10:08.70\00:10:10.21
"You know, I believe
in divine appointments,
00:10:10.24\00:10:13.01
and I believe that
God sent you here."
00:10:13.04\00:10:15.51
He had been going
00:10:15.54\00:10:16.88
through a lot of
different things,
00:10:16.91\00:10:18.25
and he had just lost his wife.
00:10:18.28\00:10:19.61
And I asked him if
I could pray with him
00:10:19.65\00:10:20.98
after he bought the three books.
00:10:21.02\00:10:22.92
And after I asked him,
if I could pray with him,
00:10:22.95\00:10:24.95
this gentleman began crying.
00:10:24.99\00:10:28.02
And he started crying
and that's when he told me
00:10:28.06\00:10:29.82
that he had just lost
his wife, his wife had died.
00:10:29.86\00:10:31.63
And he was going
00:10:31.66\00:10:32.99
through a lot of
different things.
00:10:33.03\00:10:34.36
And I was able to
wrap my arms around the guy
00:10:34.40\00:10:36.87
and we prayed together.
00:10:36.90\00:10:39.13
And he actually
signed up for Bible studies,
00:10:39.17\00:10:41.27
I told him that we knew
the pastor of the church
00:10:41.30\00:10:43.30
that we're staying
at here in Mississippi,
00:10:43.34\00:10:44.91
the college drive on
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:10:44.94\00:10:47.94
in Pearl, Mississippi,
00:10:47.98\00:10:49.74
that the pastor
would be willing to do
00:10:49.78\00:10:51.11
Bible studies with him.
00:10:51.15\00:10:52.48
And he was very, very interested
00:10:52.51\00:10:53.85
in the Bible studies.
00:10:53.88\00:10:55.22
He signed up and
his name is Kelsey.
00:10:55.25\00:10:57.95
And so maybe we could
keep Kelsey in your prayers.
00:10:57.99\00:11:01.02
Definitely.
00:11:01.06\00:11:02.39
We'll definitely pray for him.
00:11:02.42\00:11:04.26
You know, it's
such an important work
00:11:04.29\00:11:06.06
that you're doing.
00:11:06.09\00:11:07.43
And, Dailyn, I know
00:11:07.46\00:11:09.30
that you have a
passion for this,
00:11:09.33\00:11:11.30
because you told me earlier,
Jesus is coming so soon,
00:11:11.33\00:11:14.37
and we need to get the word out.
00:11:14.40\00:11:15.74
And I totally agree.
00:11:15.77\00:11:17.74
And thank you so much for
the work that you're doing.
00:11:17.77\00:11:20.14
We're going to
keep you all in prayer.
00:11:20.18\00:11:22.14
God bless you.
00:11:22.18\00:11:24.21
Thank you so much. Thank you.
00:11:24.25\00:11:27.48
Amen. That's an incredible roll.
00:11:27.52\00:11:29.78
We're so grateful
for Julia O'Carey,
00:11:29.82\00:11:31.82
of course, she
conducted that interview
00:11:31.85\00:11:34.59
with Joshua Holly,
00:11:34.62\00:11:36.09
hopefully, I
get this name right,
00:11:36.12\00:11:37.46
and Dailyn Patino.
00:11:37.49\00:11:40.63
I'm not sure I
pronounced that right.
00:11:40.66\00:11:42.00
But so grateful for
Ouachita and their outreach,
00:11:42.03\00:11:46.23
especially with canvassing.
00:11:46.27\00:11:48.47
And that was an
incredible testimony
00:11:48.50\00:11:50.37
about how they
didn't even want to go
00:11:50.41\00:11:52.34
to the gas station
00:11:52.37\00:11:53.71
and said, I'm not
going to canvass here.
00:11:53.74\00:11:55.08
And then God just worked
that amazing miracle out.
00:11:55.11\00:11:57.71
Oh, it really is, you know,
00:11:57.75\00:11:59.08
I'm always
encouraged by the stories,
00:11:59.11\00:12:00.45
you know, that people share,
00:12:00.48\00:12:01.82
you know, God is
still alive and well.
00:12:01.85\00:12:03.52
Now, I think it's
really amazing too
00:12:03.55\00:12:04.89
because in the midst of COVID,
00:12:04.92\00:12:06.25
they're talking about that, too,
00:12:06.29\00:12:07.62
that they're still going
out and able to share the gospel
00:12:07.66\00:12:09.96
and there are people
that are searching for truth.
00:12:09.99\00:12:12.13
So what a way to do that
is to put literature out there
00:12:12.16\00:12:14.60
and, of course,
it helps the students
00:12:14.63\00:12:16.60
and, you know,
with their expenses,
00:12:16.63\00:12:18.83
and it's just a, it's a win-win.
00:12:18.87\00:12:20.20
So praise the
Lord for that. Amen.
00:12:20.24\00:12:21.84
We're going to
another academy next.
00:12:21.87\00:12:24.07
This is Heritage Academy,
00:12:24.11\00:12:25.51
and Greg and
I've had the privilege
00:12:25.54\00:12:26.88
and opportunity to be
there as well and visit.
00:12:26.91\00:12:30.35
In fact, I did some
of my student teaching.
00:12:30.38\00:12:33.72
We won't say how many
years ago at Heritage Academy.
00:12:33.75\00:12:36.75
Don't forget you're young, Baby.
00:12:36.79\00:12:38.12
Thank you. Yes, that's right.
00:12:38.15\00:12:39.49
You're young.
00:12:39.52\00:12:40.86
Debbie Baker is the
president of Heritage Academy.
00:12:40.89\00:12:43.12
She and her
husband, Doug, of course,
00:12:43.16\00:12:45.33
lead out there
with the ministry.
00:12:45.36\00:12:47.33
Julia O'Carey did
this interview as well.
00:12:47.36\00:12:50.00
But before we go to it,
00:12:50.03\00:12:51.37
Heritage Academy is really known
00:12:51.40\00:12:53.90
for their disaster response.
00:12:53.94\00:12:56.10
I think of many of
the different academies,
00:12:56.14\00:12:59.07
they jump in and
help when there's a need,
00:12:59.11\00:13:02.24
when there's a disaster.
00:13:02.28\00:13:03.61
They've done actually
over 30 relief responses.
00:13:03.65\00:13:06.88
Well, yeah.
00:13:06.92\00:13:08.25
And, you know,
they had a tragedy
00:13:08.28\00:13:09.62
that came through a
disaster, natural disaster
00:13:09.65\00:13:11.15
that came through
earlier this year,
00:13:11.19\00:13:13.46
basically, right
in their backyard.
00:13:13.49\00:13:15.09
So we're going
to talk about that
00:13:15.12\00:13:16.46
in this video roll too.
00:13:16.49\00:13:17.83
Should we go to that?
00:13:17.86\00:13:19.19
Absolutely. All right.
00:13:19.23\00:13:20.56
Let's go to that roll right now.
00:13:20.60\00:13:22.76
It's so great to be
here with you, Debbie Baker.
00:13:22.80\00:13:25.83
Debbie is the president
of the Heritage Academy.
00:13:25.87\00:13:30.07
And that's in
middle of Tennessee, right?
00:13:30.11\00:13:32.34
That's right. Yeah.
00:13:32.37\00:13:33.71
And you know, I
love how Heritage Academy
00:13:33.74\00:13:35.84
is known for disaster response.
00:13:35.88\00:13:38.51
And you've done 30 plus
disaster relief efforts.
00:13:38.55\00:13:43.12
And the one you did in March
00:13:43.15\00:13:45.25
is a little
unique, a little different.
00:13:45.29\00:13:47.09
Can you tell me
about that? Sure.
00:13:47.12\00:13:49.32
You know, we typically
have to travel somewhere,
00:13:49.36\00:13:51.23
right, to respond.
00:13:51.26\00:13:52.59
We pack things up, we set up
00:13:52.63\00:13:54.46
where we're going to be staying,
00:13:54.50\00:13:55.83
what we're going to be doing,
00:13:55.86\00:13:57.20
this was in our own backyard.
00:13:57.23\00:13:58.63
As a matter of fact,
it surprised everybody,
00:13:58.67\00:14:03.64
started in Nashville.
00:14:03.67\00:14:05.04
We all saw the news that night.
00:14:05.07\00:14:07.64
You know, there was,
00:14:07.68\00:14:09.01
there were storms
in southern Kentucky.
00:14:09.04\00:14:11.31
We were told, you
know, watch out for Nashville
00:14:11.35\00:14:14.22
and the morning commute,
00:14:14.25\00:14:16.92
it's going to be a little rough.
00:14:16.95\00:14:19.32
So everybody went to bed
00:14:19.35\00:14:20.69
thinking it was
going to be okay.
00:14:20.72\00:14:22.06
And about 1
o'clock in Nashville,
00:14:22.09\00:14:24.23
the tornado hit
00:14:24.26\00:14:25.66
and moved east and
struck our little community
00:14:25.69\00:14:29.60
just about a half
an hour west of us,
00:14:29.63\00:14:31.87
in a place called Cookeville
00:14:31.90\00:14:33.54
and unfortunately those
folks with 56 or so towers down,
00:14:33.57\00:14:39.51
got no warning.
00:14:39.54\00:14:41.04
And 19 people lost
their lives that night.
00:14:41.08\00:14:43.55
Oh, that's terrible.
00:14:43.58\00:14:44.91
Right. It was.
00:14:44.95\00:14:47.02
You know, while
we've been to places
00:14:47.05\00:14:48.62
where lot of
lives have been lost,
00:14:48.65\00:14:50.75
it's different when
it's in your community,
00:14:50.79\00:14:52.95
when it's your neighbors
00:14:52.99\00:14:54.32
and for us it was difficult
00:14:54.36\00:14:56.06
because, you know,
00:14:56.09\00:14:58.23
some of the
people that we knew them
00:14:58.26\00:15:00.26
so we, there was no question
that we were going to respond.
00:15:00.30\00:15:04.60
So we got up that morning,
00:15:04.63\00:15:05.97
most of us having
been hunkered down
00:15:06.00\00:15:07.34
in our basements
00:15:07.37\00:15:09.04
or in our safe
places that night,
00:15:09.07\00:15:11.07
and got up that morning
to do what we could to help.
00:15:11.11\00:15:14.31
Wow. So what happened?
00:15:14.34\00:15:15.84
What did you guys do
and who was involved?
00:15:15.88\00:15:17.91
Right.
00:15:17.95\00:15:19.28
Well, everybody, everybody,
00:15:19.31\00:15:20.65
Heritage knows
you're all involved, right?
00:15:20.68\00:15:22.08
Everybody's trained
in disaster response.
00:15:22.12\00:15:24.25
So everybody knew
00:15:24.29\00:15:25.62
and, of course, everybody knew
00:15:25.65\00:15:26.99
there was a problem, right?
00:15:27.02\00:15:28.36
Because we were all in
our safe places for an hour.
00:15:28.39\00:15:31.13
So the tornado had
gone up and over our campus,
00:15:31.16\00:15:34.40
never touched down there.
00:15:34.43\00:15:35.96
But up and over, and yeah,
00:15:36.00\00:15:37.53
I was in my basement
hearing water flow backwards.
00:15:37.57\00:15:41.67
It was probably
the most harrowing
00:15:41.70\00:15:43.64
I've personally been in before,
00:15:43.67\00:15:45.24
nothing like what our
neighbors experienced.
00:15:45.27\00:15:47.94
But we packed everybody up,
00:15:47.98\00:15:49.94
we contacted
00:15:49.98\00:15:51.31
the disaster
response folks in Cookeville
00:15:51.35\00:15:53.45
that were already
hitting the ground running,
00:15:53.48\00:15:55.75
ask what we could do
and started debris removal.
00:15:55.78\00:15:58.65
So we just started
cleaning up people's houses
00:15:58.69\00:16:01.69
and, you know, cutting trees
up and moving them to the yard
00:16:01.72\00:16:06.26
and to the street
and things like that.
00:16:06.29\00:16:08.73
So, you know, that
keeps everybody busy,
00:16:08.76\00:16:12.17
all kinds of
debris to clean up so.
00:16:12.20\00:16:14.34
For sure.
00:16:14.37\00:16:15.70
And then after that,
something special happened?
00:16:15.74\00:16:18.64
It did, it did.
00:16:18.67\00:16:20.01
That day, we
worked all day doing that,
00:16:20.04\00:16:22.64
and that evening,
the incident commander,
00:16:22.68\00:16:26.41
he's the guy kind of
set by the county in charge
00:16:26.45\00:16:28.78
of that particular incident
00:16:28.82\00:16:30.89
and he asked me to meet him
00:16:30.92\00:16:32.45
at the community
center in Cookeville.
00:16:32.49\00:16:34.36
And I met him there
that evening and said,
00:16:34.39\00:16:37.09
we would like you to run
this point of distribution,
00:16:37.13\00:16:40.20
a pod, we call it
00:16:40.23\00:16:41.73
and I had lots of experience
00:16:41.76\00:16:43.30
in pod establishment and running
00:16:43.33\00:16:45.67
and then disassembling before...
00:16:45.70\00:16:47.37
Now was this different?
00:16:47.40\00:16:48.74
This was different
00:16:48.77\00:16:50.11
because we had crazy outpouring,
00:16:50.14\00:16:52.91
not just from our own community
00:16:52.94\00:16:54.28
and people there,
00:16:54.31\00:16:55.64
but from around the
country, even the world,
00:16:55.68\00:16:58.01
we had a container shipment
from Australia sent to us,
00:16:58.05\00:17:02.98
in the midst of their fires,
00:17:03.02\00:17:04.85
they thought of
a little Cookeville
00:17:04.89\00:17:06.82
and our needs.
00:17:06.86\00:17:08.19
So we had this huge SAMS
00:17:08.22\00:17:11.09
pretty much in
this community center
00:17:11.13\00:17:13.53
to meet the needs of these folks
00:17:13.56\00:17:15.53
that had been displaced and...
00:17:15.56\00:17:17.77
So it was your job,
00:17:17.80\00:17:19.37
your school's job to
distribute everything
00:17:19.40\00:17:21.97
that was pouring in?
00:17:22.00\00:17:23.34
That's right.
00:17:23.37\00:17:24.71
And typically with
a pod, it's ice water,
00:17:24.74\00:17:27.14
the military meals ready to eat.
00:17:27.18\00:17:28.71
But this wasn't just
that, this was everything.
00:17:28.74\00:17:32.58
I mean, from
batteries to, you name it,
00:17:32.61\00:17:34.88
and the most incredible
thing for me personally was that
00:17:34.92\00:17:39.79
after people went
around our liaisons
00:17:39.82\00:17:41.96
that went with them
listen to their stories.
00:17:41.99\00:17:44.46
And I had a
little girl come there,
00:17:44.49\00:17:46.90
you know, I always told
them if there's anything
00:17:46.93\00:17:48.56
that they need
that you don't see here,
00:17:48.60\00:17:50.87
bring them to me and
let me see what I can do.
00:17:50.90\00:17:52.73
And for me, that was incredible
00:17:52.77\00:17:54.90
for to hear their stories
00:17:54.94\00:17:56.77
and then be able
to meet their needs.
00:17:56.81\00:17:58.51
And there was a
little girl that came.
00:17:58.54\00:18:01.51
She could have been 20,
00:18:01.54\00:18:02.88
I'm going to try not to tear up.
00:18:02.91\00:18:04.25
It's a little intense,
00:18:04.28\00:18:05.61
but she lost her
father and her brother...
00:18:05.65\00:18:07.32
In the, in the tornado?
00:18:07.35\00:18:08.68
In the tornado
00:18:08.72\00:18:10.05
and her mother was at
Erlanger in Chattanooga,
00:18:10.09\00:18:12.32
in a coma,
00:18:12.35\00:18:13.69
and didn't know
00:18:13.72\00:18:15.06
that she had lost
her husband and son.
00:18:15.09\00:18:16.89
And this little girl
00:18:16.93\00:18:18.26
couldn't have been 20 years old,
00:18:18.29\00:18:19.63
didn't know what to do.
00:18:19.66\00:18:21.00
And she just broke down.
00:18:21.03\00:18:22.36
And she said, My...
00:18:22.40\00:18:24.57
I asked her,
00:18:24.60\00:18:25.93
"Where's your
brother and your father?"
00:18:25.97\00:18:27.50
And she said,
"At the funeral home,
00:18:27.54\00:18:28.90
and I don't have
any means to bury them."
00:18:28.94\00:18:32.67
And so, I praise God
00:18:32.71\00:18:34.54
that one of the
things we could offer
00:18:34.58\00:18:36.48
were contacts with folks
in the community that said,
00:18:36.51\00:18:38.88
I can't be there
to do the dirty work,
00:18:38.91\00:18:40.68
but I can give money.
00:18:40.72\00:18:42.48
And so, I contacted
a couple of churches
00:18:42.52\00:18:45.15
and a couple of individuals
00:18:45.19\00:18:46.62
and their entire
funerals were covered.
00:18:46.65\00:18:49.42
Everything was taken care of.
00:18:49.46\00:18:51.33
She just walked away.
00:18:51.36\00:18:52.76
She gave me the
biggest hug and she said
00:18:52.79\00:18:54.56
you don't know how
this has changed our lives.
00:18:54.60\00:18:57.97
You know what a
weight off of my shoulders.
00:18:58.00\00:19:00.34
Oh, Debbie,
that gives me chills.
00:19:00.37\00:19:02.04
That is so beautiful.
00:19:02.07\00:19:03.71
Yeah, it's incredible.
00:19:03.74\00:19:05.07
So I have three or four day pod
ended up being a six-week pod.
00:19:05.11\00:19:08.24
We stayed open
even through COVID
00:19:08.28\00:19:10.41
ministering to
our local community,
00:19:10.45\00:19:12.61
ministering to a
lady that I met there
00:19:12.65\00:19:15.38
all the way through to
even just this past week.
00:19:15.42\00:19:17.95
We put an awning on the
outside of her new home.
00:19:17.99\00:19:21.09
And we have a fast friendship,
I think for eternity so...
00:19:21.12\00:19:24.56
Wow, you know what?
00:19:24.59\00:19:25.99
I can just picture Jesus
smile when He comes back,
00:19:26.03\00:19:29.33
saying, "Well
done Heritage Academy.
00:19:29.36\00:19:32.10
You took care of My
town Cookeville for Me."
00:19:32.13\00:19:36.64
Praise the Lord for that.
00:19:36.67\00:19:38.01
Thank you so much for sharing.
00:19:38.04\00:19:39.47
Thank you.
00:19:39.51\00:19:42.58
Amen.
00:19:42.61\00:19:43.95
I love to hear
testimonies like that,
00:19:43.98\00:19:45.91
to hear how young people
can get involved in ministry
00:19:45.95\00:19:50.79
and ministry takes many forms.
00:19:50.82\00:19:52.35
Ministry can look like
helping someone like they did
00:19:52.39\00:19:55.99
with this disaster response.
00:19:56.02\00:19:57.66
Ministry can look
like selling books
00:19:57.69\00:20:00.56
or passing out books
00:20:00.60\00:20:01.93
as Ouachita Hills
Academy and College does
00:20:01.96\00:20:04.03
with the canvassing program.
00:20:04.07\00:20:05.63
Ministry can
also take other forms.
00:20:05.67\00:20:08.10
We're going, the next interview
will be done by Debbie Young
00:20:08.14\00:20:11.44
and, of course, we
love Debbie Young as well.
00:20:11.47\00:20:13.58
She and Julia O'Carey
00:20:13.61\00:20:15.08
are such an integral
part of the ministry of ASI.
00:20:15.11\00:20:18.55
They've both been here
00:20:18.58\00:20:19.91
with their respective ministries
00:20:19.95\00:20:21.58
here to 3ABN
00:20:21.62\00:20:22.95
and we're so grateful for
them for doing these interviews.
00:20:22.98\00:20:25.72
But this interview
Debbie did is with Tony Moore,
00:20:25.75\00:20:29.69
Biblical World Ministries.
00:20:29.72\00:20:31.93
And if you're
familiar with 3ABN at all,
00:20:31.96\00:20:34.96
if you've watched 3ABN
for any length of time,
00:20:35.00\00:20:37.67
I'm sure you've
seen the programs
00:20:37.70\00:20:39.83
that he has produced,
00:20:39.87\00:20:41.27
Biblical World,
00:20:41.30\00:20:42.64
In The Footsteps of
Paul is one of the programs
00:20:42.67\00:20:44.37
I think of specifically,
00:20:44.41\00:20:45.74
which is an amazing
program because of the scenery.
00:20:45.77\00:20:48.78
Yeah.
00:20:48.81\00:20:50.15
And I think also, you
know, the biblical truths
00:20:50.18\00:20:51.51
that he's bringing out
00:20:51.55\00:20:52.88
and, you know, and you
love history, of course
00:20:52.91\00:20:54.38
and, of course, I
know is very near and dear
00:20:54.42\00:20:56.18
to your heart.
00:20:56.22\00:20:57.55
So there's a new
series that he's working on,
00:20:57.59\00:20:59.72
called the Grand Narrative,
The Great Controversy theme,
00:20:59.75\00:21:02.72
can talk about that.
00:21:02.76\00:21:04.09
So let's go to
this roll right now.
00:21:04.13\00:21:05.59
And we have Tony Moore
with us from the Biblical World
00:21:08.86\00:21:11.80
who takes us to
wonderful Bible lands
00:21:11.83\00:21:14.10
and brings
those stories to life.
00:21:14.14\00:21:16.14
Tony, so glad to
have you here with us.
00:21:16.17\00:21:18.01
Tell us a little bit about
the Biblical World Ministry?
00:21:18.04\00:21:22.48
Oh, well, we have
two wonderful programs
00:21:22.51\00:21:24.71
that people
enjoy around the world,
00:21:24.75\00:21:26.08
The Footsteps of Paul
00:21:26.11\00:21:27.62
and Tracing the
Footsteps of Jesus,
00:21:27.65\00:21:29.45
they enjoy them on
Adventist television,
00:21:29.48\00:21:31.25
but it's a dimension
that people don't often see
00:21:31.29\00:21:33.79
and that's the
dimension of the study guides,
00:21:33.82\00:21:36.12
we have beautiful study
guides that go along with it.
00:21:36.16\00:21:38.93
And it makes it excellent to use
00:21:38.96\00:21:40.60
with an evangelistic outreach
00:21:40.63\00:21:42.03
where a small group,
00:21:42.06\00:21:43.60
actually academies use
it for bottle programs,
00:21:43.63\00:21:46.20
and people use
it for homeschool,
00:21:46.23\00:21:47.87
a really wonderful resource.
00:21:47.90\00:21:50.01
So more than just
the television program.
00:21:50.04\00:21:52.01
So tell us what's
new with Biblical World?
00:21:52.04\00:21:55.48
Well, for several years,
00:21:55.51\00:21:56.85
we've been working
on the Grand Narrative.
00:21:56.88\00:21:58.68
And this is a
really ambitious project
00:21:58.71\00:22:00.88
49 episodes,
00:22:00.92\00:22:02.92
that we've kind
of broken that down
00:22:02.95\00:22:04.29
into seven volumes, Debbie.
00:22:04.32\00:22:05.65
So it's not just 49
strung out, but seven volumes.
00:22:05.69\00:22:09.59
And this is really
an exciting series.
00:22:09.62\00:22:12.69
That sounds pretty exciting.
00:22:12.73\00:22:14.20
Can you tell us a
little bit about what you saw?
00:22:14.23\00:22:16.70
What does that
mean, The Grand Narrative?
00:22:16.73\00:22:20.24
You might think of it as
The Great Controversy theme.
00:22:20.27\00:22:23.10
So we actually begin post flood
00:22:23.14\00:22:26.07
as they go down
into the land or Shinar
00:22:26.11\00:22:27.84
which history
calls the land of Sumer
00:22:27.88\00:22:30.38
and that's where
civilization begins.
00:22:30.41\00:22:32.55
And then we trace
down through time,
00:22:32.58\00:22:35.68
again, seven volumes
that will take us down
00:22:35.72\00:22:38.05
to the age of the early church.
00:22:38.09\00:22:40.76
So we basically
cover all of that.
00:22:40.79\00:22:43.06
So it's really exciting.
00:22:43.09\00:22:44.43
It's really the theme
of The Great Controversy,
00:22:44.46\00:22:46.03
trying to bring the
Bible stories to life.
00:22:46.06\00:22:48.36
So I believe we
have a video clip
00:22:48.40\00:22:49.96
that can
actually give us a picture
00:22:50.00\00:22:51.83
of what we can expect?
00:22:51.87\00:22:54.80
That's right,
this is from Volume I,
00:22:54.84\00:22:56.84
which is just being
released this month.
00:22:56.87\00:22:59.74
Okay, well, let's take
a look at that clip now.
00:22:59.77\00:23:02.08
The Bible identifies
the Tigris and Euphrates
00:23:48.02\00:23:51.73
as two of the four rivers
00:23:51.76\00:23:53.83
flowing through
the Garden of Eden.
00:23:53.86\00:23:56.00
Genesis, the
first book in the Bible
00:23:56.03\00:23:58.37
describes how the Ark of Noah
00:23:58.40\00:24:00.40
came to rest on
the mountains of Ararat
00:24:00.44\00:24:03.20
and how is the
people moved eastward,
00:24:03.24\00:24:05.81
they found a plain in
Shinar and settled there.
00:24:05.84\00:24:11.18
This plain of Shinar
is the same plain as Sumer
00:24:11.21\00:24:15.18
that historians and
researchers have identified
00:24:15.22\00:24:18.29
as the cradle of civilization.
00:24:18.32\00:24:21.26
Isn't it amazing
to see how the Bible
00:24:21.29\00:24:23.66
and history dovetail together?
00:24:23.69\00:24:26.49
Hi, my name is Tony Moore,
00:24:26.53\00:24:27.96
and welcome to
the world of the Bible
00:24:28.00\00:24:30.33
as we explore the places
00:24:30.37\00:24:31.97
where the biblical
story actually happened.
00:24:32.00\00:24:35.17
In this fascinating series,
00:24:35.20\00:24:37.27
I will take you on location
00:24:37.31\00:24:39.11
to explore the
world of the patriarchs,
00:24:39.14\00:24:42.01
the prophets and the kings.
00:24:42.04\00:24:45.01
We'll also explore
the world of Jesus,
00:24:45.05\00:24:48.08
the apostles, the
apocalypse, and even the church.
00:24:48.12\00:24:54.06
In this series,
00:24:54.09\00:24:55.42
we will trace
the grand narrative
00:24:55.46\00:24:57.39
that ties together
00:24:57.43\00:24:58.76
this seemingly
separated and isolated events
00:24:58.79\00:25:01.86
that have
happened throughout time,
00:25:01.90\00:25:04.43
revealing God's
hand and involvement
00:25:04.47\00:25:07.34
moving to the
course of His story.
00:25:07.37\00:25:10.97
This grand narrative
00:25:11.01\00:25:12.67
flows to more than
4,500 years of time,
00:25:12.71\00:25:16.64
providing a common thread
00:25:16.68\00:25:18.61
tying together the
past with the present.
00:25:18.65\00:25:21.78
This comprehensive theme
00:25:21.82\00:25:23.99
can also be called
The Great Controversy,
00:25:24.02\00:25:27.22
since it chronicles the
battles between good and evil
00:25:27.26\00:25:31.23
that have been unfolding
since the beginning of time.
00:25:31.26\00:25:34.83
This grand sweep of the ages,
00:25:34.86\00:25:37.17
filmed on location
00:25:37.20\00:25:38.53
will bring many of
these stories to life,
00:25:38.57\00:25:41.04
revealing the critical issues
involved in this epic conflict.
00:25:41.07\00:25:45.37
Wow, that is
really beautiful scenery,
00:25:45.41\00:25:48.24
I feel like I've
just been dropped
00:25:48.28\00:25:49.68
into the middle of the Bible.
00:25:49.71\00:25:51.41
So I know that
Volume I is finished.
00:25:51.45\00:25:54.08
Where are you with Volume II?
00:25:54.12\00:25:55.45
And then tell us
about the current project,
00:25:55.48\00:25:58.32
which is Volume III,
00:25:58.35\00:25:59.69
that is on the
offering list for this year?
00:25:59.72\00:26:03.32
Well, Volume II is
the World of the Exodus.
00:26:03.36\00:26:05.13
And unfortunately, we
have already filmed this.
00:26:05.16\00:26:07.83
And so we'd be
working on post production,
00:26:07.86\00:26:10.43
and hope to have it
available by Christmas.
00:26:10.47\00:26:12.93
Volume II, the
World of the Kings,
00:26:12.97\00:26:14.70
we are writing the material,
preparing the material.
00:26:14.74\00:26:17.77
And God willing,
00:26:17.81\00:26:19.14
we'll be filming that
in the spring of 2021.
00:26:19.17\00:26:23.48
And hope to have that available
later in the summer from that.
00:26:23.51\00:26:27.15
So we have to go
back and film that,
00:26:27.18\00:26:28.52
we film on locations.
00:26:28.55\00:26:29.88
And it's pretty
exciting, that little altar,
00:26:29.92\00:26:31.25
by the way is from Tel Dan.
00:26:31.29\00:26:33.25
And you might remember that
00:26:33.29\00:26:34.62
that's where after
the Israel was divided
00:26:34.66\00:26:36.89
into Israel and Judah,
00:26:36.93\00:26:39.69
that that was one of
the places of false worship.
00:26:39.73\00:26:42.70
And so, some of the big issues
00:26:42.73\00:26:44.07
that come
together in Volume III,
00:26:44.10\00:26:45.43
of the World of Kings,
00:26:45.47\00:26:46.80
we can see the
apostasy and the prophets
00:26:46.84\00:26:48.70
trying to call them back
00:26:48.74\00:26:50.07
like Elijah and
the Jesuit old story.
00:26:50.11\00:26:52.14
So many stories that
take place in the Bible
00:26:52.17\00:26:55.04
that we again
hope to bring to life,
00:26:55.08\00:26:57.25
and so, part of the offering
is to support that this year.
00:26:57.28\00:27:00.68
And I can see how
this would really bring
00:27:00.72\00:27:02.48
the Bible to life
00:27:02.52\00:27:03.85
and it would be really exciting
00:27:03.89\00:27:05.22
for people to use
and read in Bible study.
00:27:05.25\00:27:08.29
So that would be great.
00:27:08.32\00:27:09.69
You know, we're
literally looking forward
00:27:09.72\00:27:11.06
to seeing this.
00:27:11.09\00:27:12.43
And thank you so much, Tony,
00:27:12.46\00:27:13.80
for what you're
doing with Biblical World
00:27:13.83\00:27:15.40
and kind of opening up the Bible
00:27:15.43\00:27:16.97
so that we can see
00:27:17.00\00:27:18.67
not just hear about
what happened in the Bible
00:27:18.70\00:27:22.00
and actually walk the walk
00:27:22.04\00:27:24.01
that Jesus walked
00:27:24.04\00:27:25.37
and understand
what's going on there.
00:27:25.41\00:27:26.74
Thank you very much, Tony.
00:27:26.78\00:27:29.18
Thank you.
00:27:29.21\00:27:31.91
I am so looking forward
00:27:31.95\00:27:33.31
to seeing that brand new series.
00:27:33.35\00:27:35.68
And we might have
to air that on 3ABN.
00:27:35.72\00:27:37.55
I think so. Yes, absolutely.
00:27:37.59\00:27:39.55
One of the things
I love is just the,
00:27:39.59\00:27:41.99
being in the actual
place where that happened,
00:27:42.02\00:27:44.59
you know,
whether it's Mars Hill,
00:27:44.63\00:27:46.56
whether it's Greece, or
Athens, or Rome, or Israel,
00:27:46.59\00:27:50.43
or although I think of
all the different projects
00:27:50.47\00:27:52.30
that he has done
and filming on location
00:27:52.33\00:27:54.70
makes such a difference.
00:27:54.74\00:27:56.07
It really does.
It brings it to life.
00:27:56.10\00:27:57.71
And you know, not all
of us have the opportunity
00:27:57.74\00:27:59.47
to travel to
different parts of the world.
00:27:59.51\00:28:01.04
So what a blessing
00:28:01.08\00:28:02.41
that God's given this
ministry and this heart
00:28:02.44\00:28:04.81
for sharing the gospel this way.
00:28:04.85\00:28:06.18
Amen.
00:28:06.21\00:28:07.55
We're going next
to another Academy.
00:28:07.58\00:28:09.58
This is Harbert Hills Academy.
00:28:09.62\00:28:11.89
And Debbie Young
00:28:11.92\00:28:13.25
had the opportunity to sit down
00:28:13.29\00:28:14.72
with actual the
president of Harbert Hills,
00:28:14.76\00:28:17.53
but also the president of ASI.
00:28:17.56\00:28:20.50
This is, of course,
Pastor Steve Dickman,
00:28:20.53\00:28:22.63
and just want to
say how grateful we are
00:28:22.66\00:28:25.10
here at 3ABN
00:28:25.13\00:28:26.47
for Pastor Steve
Dickman's leadership of ASI,
00:28:26.50\00:28:28.67
he does an amazing job.
00:28:28.70\00:28:30.04
I agree.
00:28:30.07\00:28:31.41
You know, Pastor Steve has,
00:28:31.44\00:28:32.77
he has such a
heart for young people,
00:28:32.81\00:28:34.14
and for others, and of
course, the ministry of ASI.
00:28:34.18\00:28:36.44
He's such a busy man.
00:28:36.48\00:28:37.81
You know, it's just amazing
00:28:37.85\00:28:39.18
when I tried to
get a hold of him,
00:28:39.21\00:28:40.55
you know, he just
always takes the time,
00:28:40.58\00:28:42.05
you know, to listen and to talk
00:28:42.08\00:28:43.52
and I know he has so
many responsibilities,
00:28:43.55\00:28:45.25
but he loves the
Lord Jesus Christ.
00:28:45.29\00:28:47.42
And this roll, video roll
00:28:47.46\00:28:49.02
that we're
getting ready to go to.
00:28:49.06\00:28:50.66
I like it,
because he talks a lot
00:28:50.69\00:28:52.03
about the practical
education of an academy,
00:28:52.06\00:28:55.36
which that's how I grew up,
00:28:55.40\00:28:57.43
I was homeschooled.
00:28:57.47\00:28:58.80
But I had the opportunity
to work with my father.
00:28:58.83\00:29:00.87
And, of course, they
very much believed in me
00:29:00.90\00:29:02.94
being in the
garden, pulling weeds,
00:29:02.97\00:29:04.84
taking a hammer and nail
and nailing boards together.
00:29:04.87\00:29:07.58
So I like the
practical aspect of this academy
00:29:07.61\00:29:10.51
and, of course, many
academies do that as well.
00:29:10.55\00:29:12.05
But this will be a fun roll.
00:29:12.08\00:29:13.42
It will indeed,
00:29:13.45\00:29:14.78
and they're also talking
about some of the funds for ASI
00:29:14.82\00:29:18.09
have gone for
Harbert Hills Academy,
00:29:18.12\00:29:20.19
especially for a new
staff housing project.
00:29:20.22\00:29:22.06
And sometimes we think,
00:29:22.09\00:29:23.43
okay, we want to
give funds to help what?
00:29:23.46\00:29:25.86
Spread the
gospel with evangelism
00:29:25.89\00:29:28.36
or colporteuring or whatever.
00:29:28.40\00:29:31.03
But in this sense,
00:29:31.07\00:29:32.73
housing is vitally
important for staff
00:29:32.77\00:29:36.67
in order for that infrastructure
00:29:36.71\00:29:38.41
in order to maintain a
school and to go and grow.
00:29:38.44\00:29:41.31
So let's take a look
at that interview now.
00:29:41.34\00:29:45.71
At Harbert Hills Academy,
00:29:45.75\00:29:47.12
we believe in the
divine model of education,
00:29:47.15\00:29:50.85
where practical training,
00:29:50.89\00:29:52.89
academic training
and spiritual training
00:29:52.92\00:29:55.46
all go hand in hand
00:29:55.49\00:29:57.19
to produce a young
person who is able to go forth
00:29:57.23\00:30:00.13
and serve God
wherever he may be called.
00:30:00.16\00:30:03.30
One of the projects
here at Harbert Hills Academy
00:30:03.33\00:30:05.97
that we've partnered
with ASI and other donors on
00:30:06.00\00:30:09.10
is our new
staff housing project.
00:30:09.14\00:30:11.91
The need for this
project was so evident.
00:30:11.94\00:30:14.81
Over the years,
00:30:14.84\00:30:16.24
we have
accumulated five mobile homes
00:30:16.28\00:30:19.51
here on our campus,
00:30:19.55\00:30:21.15
and mobile homes
00:30:21.18\00:30:22.52
unfortunately reached
the end of their useful life
00:30:22.55\00:30:25.85
rather quickly.
00:30:25.89\00:30:27.22
So permanent staff
housing has been a need here.
00:30:27.26\00:30:30.16
This project was launched
about a year and a half ago.
00:30:30.19\00:30:33.46
And today, we are
working on house number nine.
00:30:33.50\00:30:37.43
That's an amazing journey
00:30:37.47\00:30:38.80
over the last
past year and a half.
00:30:38.83\00:30:40.70
It's been a real blessing
00:30:40.74\00:30:42.17
to our staff
and to our students,
00:30:42.20\00:30:44.64
to see the students
advanced in skill level
00:30:44.67\00:30:47.94
as they applied their hands
00:30:47.98\00:30:50.48
and their arms and their muscles
00:30:50.51\00:30:53.01
to help build these houses.
00:30:53.05\00:30:55.48
As the staff
have worked together
00:30:55.52\00:30:57.49
with students and
gained skills themselves.
00:30:57.52\00:30:59.75
It's been an amazing journey.
00:30:59.79\00:31:01.82
And it has
benefited the students
00:31:01.86\00:31:03.19
in more ways than one.
00:31:03.22\00:31:04.56
They've learned
00:31:04.59\00:31:05.93
practical
problem-solving skills,
00:31:05.96\00:31:07.50
they've learned hands on skills
00:31:07.53\00:31:09.03
that they will use for
the rest of their life,
00:31:09.06\00:31:11.43
and things they
can do for themselves.
00:31:11.47\00:31:14.10
So we are so thankful
00:31:14.14\00:31:16.00
that we've had the opportunity
to build these homes.
00:31:16.04\00:31:18.97
The impact, though,
has not been limited
00:31:19.01\00:31:21.08
to the campus at
Harbert Hills Academy.
00:31:21.11\00:31:23.48
Other
institutions are now benefiting
00:31:23.51\00:31:25.65
from this model of
building homes here,
00:31:25.68\00:31:28.38
that has been put together.
00:31:28.42\00:31:30.32
So across the campuses
00:31:30.35\00:31:31.99
of our
self-supporting institutions
00:31:32.02\00:31:33.69
across this nation,
00:31:33.72\00:31:35.62
there are many
needs for staff housing.
00:31:35.66\00:31:38.39
We're hoping that this project
will impact them as well.
00:31:38.43\00:31:41.33
But we want to
take this opportunity
00:31:41.36\00:31:43.16
to say a special
thank you to ASI,
00:31:43.20\00:31:45.73
a special thank
you to other donors
00:31:45.77\00:31:47.60
who have engaged in this.
00:31:47.64\00:31:49.14
Lifting students confidence,
00:31:49.17\00:31:51.31
engaged in helping
staff with permanent housing,
00:31:51.34\00:31:54.54
engaged in
helping an institution
00:31:54.58\00:31:56.88
bring up the
level of professionalism
00:31:56.91\00:32:00.05
among its staff and students.
00:32:00.08\00:32:02.02
Thank you for what you've done.
00:32:02.05\00:32:03.82
God bless you.
00:32:03.85\00:32:05.19
Steve, that was a
very informative video.
00:32:11.46\00:32:13.80
What other
messages would you like us
00:32:13.83\00:32:15.80
to take away from
that, from that experience?
00:32:15.83\00:32:19.33
You know, Debbie, as I think
about what's happened here,
00:32:19.37\00:32:23.20
I recognize that we're
living in a very unique time
00:32:23.24\00:32:28.14
in earth's history first of all.
00:32:28.18\00:32:30.41
This message that we have to get
00:32:30.45\00:32:32.48
to the world, the gospel,
the three angels' messages,
00:32:32.51\00:32:35.22
it's so needed around the world,
00:32:35.25\00:32:37.89
and we need young
people who are trained rightly.
00:32:37.92\00:32:40.52
And there's a
Spirit of Prophecy quote
00:32:40.56\00:32:42.99
out of book Education,
00:32:43.02\00:32:44.83
that says, you know, basically,
00:32:44.86\00:32:46.19
with such an
army of young people,
00:32:46.23\00:32:48.53
as our youth rightly trained.
00:32:48.56\00:32:50.63
Well, that means
we need institutions
00:32:50.67\00:32:52.60
that are training rightly.
00:32:52.63\00:32:54.17
And in order to
have institutions,
00:32:54.20\00:32:55.70
you need to have infrastructure.
00:32:55.74\00:32:57.57
And while infrastructure
is not as exciting sometimes
00:32:57.61\00:33:00.41
as some of the
other frontline things,
00:33:00.44\00:33:02.58
it's definitely a need
among many of our institutions
00:33:02.61\00:33:05.68
scattered across this country.
00:33:05.71\00:33:07.58
And so as we have
invested in this project,
00:33:07.62\00:33:10.42
and matured the process,
00:33:10.45\00:33:13.15
and these houses
have been going up,
00:33:13.19\00:33:15.26
I've been thinking
what a blessing it will be
00:33:15.29\00:33:17.89
if we can do
something more than this,
00:33:17.93\00:33:19.76
something more than
just help Harbert Hills,
00:33:19.79\00:33:21.90
we want to help
other institutions
00:33:21.93\00:33:24.13
to actually improve
their housing situation,
00:33:24.17\00:33:27.40
so that their staff
can be more comfortable
00:33:27.44\00:33:29.94
and the
training that takes place
00:33:29.97\00:33:32.21
will be the focus,
00:33:32.24\00:33:33.58
not necessarily the maintenance
of the infrastructure.
00:33:33.61\00:33:37.18
So you know,
this is, like I said,
00:33:37.21\00:33:39.25
it's amazing opportunity
for us to join together,
00:33:39.28\00:33:42.48
and to do something for
other institutions as well.
00:33:42.52\00:33:46.05
Now, Debbie, you and I
had both been involved in ASI
00:33:46.09\00:33:48.82
for quite a while.
00:33:48.86\00:33:50.19
And we know
00:33:50.23\00:33:51.56
that when ASI
takes up something,
00:33:51.59\00:33:53.19
it generally
likes to have projects
00:33:53.23\00:33:55.10
that have application
beyond that specific project.
00:33:55.13\00:33:59.53
And this project does,
00:33:59.57\00:34:01.17
it has application at
many other institutions.
00:34:01.20\00:34:04.34
And we feel it's a
model that can be followed
00:34:04.37\00:34:06.61
and ASI would like
to see a project mature
00:34:06.64\00:34:10.75
that can begin to
build one or two of these
00:34:10.78\00:34:13.25
across the country at
different institutions,
00:34:13.28\00:34:16.25
different selected
entities across the US,
00:34:16.28\00:34:19.99
maybe build a one or two a year
00:34:20.02\00:34:21.62
and just help our institutions
to kind of raise the bar
00:34:21.66\00:34:25.06
on their housing,
00:34:25.09\00:34:26.43
and how they
accommodate their staff.
00:34:26.46\00:34:29.03
So, Steve, give me an
idea perspective of need,
00:34:29.06\00:34:31.97
about how many
institutions might you surmise
00:34:32.00\00:34:35.10
would have this kind of a need?
00:34:35.14\00:34:38.54
Well, I'm thinking of
the Uchee Pines for one,
00:34:38.57\00:34:42.51
just the need there is huge.
00:34:42.54\00:34:44.31
They have,
00:34:44.35\00:34:45.68
in fact, already are building
two of these homes there.
00:34:45.71\00:34:49.68
And finishing one,
it'll be occupied August 15.
00:34:49.72\00:34:53.15
So that's exciting.
00:34:53.19\00:34:54.52
But then you go on
00:34:54.56\00:34:55.89
and you can talk about Wildwood,
00:34:55.92\00:34:57.26
and you can talk
about Laura Brooke,
00:34:57.29\00:34:58.86
and you can talk about Heritage
00:34:58.89\00:35:00.50
and there are
academies and Weimar
00:35:00.53\00:35:03.13
and other, even
our health institutions
00:35:03.16\00:35:05.80
and our schools
across this nation,
00:35:05.83\00:35:08.44
a good share of them are in need
00:35:08.47\00:35:10.24
of in either
enhancing their staff housing
00:35:10.27\00:35:13.21
or increasing
their staff housing.
00:35:13.24\00:35:15.51
And so, I think this can be
a huge blessing and a benefit.
00:35:15.54\00:35:19.11
So tell me, what
has one of the students,
00:35:19.15\00:35:21.58
have they indicated
00:35:21.62\00:35:22.95
that this has
been a blessing to them
00:35:22.98\00:35:24.32
to be involved in this way?
00:35:24.35\00:35:26.79
You know, Debbie,
one of my other jobs here
00:35:26.82\00:35:29.02
is I get to teach some classes.
00:35:29.06\00:35:31.03
And I love teaching,
00:35:31.06\00:35:32.39
I love
interacting with young people.
00:35:32.43\00:35:34.43
And I think back
this past year to class,
00:35:34.46\00:35:36.87
and every week
during class time,
00:35:36.90\00:35:39.50
we always had a
project to work on,
00:35:39.53\00:35:41.77
we always had something real
for them to put their hand to,
00:35:41.80\00:35:44.97
and to engage in
learning new skills.
00:35:45.01\00:35:46.91
I think of the,
00:35:46.94\00:35:48.28
you know, the young ladies
learning to put insulation in
00:35:48.31\00:35:51.05
and in frame
walls and put up trusses
00:35:51.08\00:35:54.18
and those skills
are invaluable skills
00:35:54.22\00:35:57.05
that they take with them
for the rest of their life.
00:35:57.09\00:35:59.09
And the young men
are gaining skills
00:35:59.12\00:36:01.42
with things
00:36:01.46\00:36:02.79
that they're just
invaluable skills.
00:36:02.82\00:36:04.59
They're needed in
the mission field,
00:36:04.63\00:36:05.96
they're needed here.
00:36:05.99\00:36:07.33
And many young people's
lives have been blessed.
00:36:07.36\00:36:10.57
Thank you very much, Steve,
for that very exciting report.
00:36:10.60\00:36:13.67
Appreciate it very much.
00:36:13.70\00:36:17.67
Thank you so much
for that interview,
00:36:17.71\00:36:19.47
Debbie and Pastor Steve,
00:36:19.51\00:36:20.84
we're grateful for Harbert Hills
00:36:20.88\00:36:22.34
and their ministry.
00:36:22.38\00:36:23.95
We're going next to a ministry
00:36:23.98\00:36:25.31
that's near and
dear to our hearts.
00:36:25.35\00:36:27.42
This is Lineage.
00:36:27.45\00:36:28.85
Now we actually air Lineage...
00:36:28.88\00:36:30.22
We do on 3ABN.
00:36:30.25\00:36:31.59
On 3ABN,
00:36:31.62\00:36:32.95
the executive director and
host of Lineage is Adam Ramdin.
00:36:32.99\00:36:36.83
And we went to school with him.
00:36:36.86\00:36:38.19
We did. Yes, that's right.
00:36:38.23\00:36:39.56
We've been talking about age,
00:36:39.59\00:36:40.93
it seems like this
entire time, and...
00:36:40.96\00:36:42.30
I'm not sure why.
00:36:42.33\00:36:43.67
Okay, we won't talk about
00:36:43.70\00:36:45.03
when we went to school together.
00:36:45.07\00:36:46.40
There's been a
number of years ago,
00:36:46.43\00:36:47.77
but God has placed
this ministry on His heart.
00:36:47.80\00:36:51.21
And what an incredible job,
of course, that He is doing,
00:36:51.24\00:36:53.31
again, going back to history.
00:36:53.34\00:36:54.91
And like Tony Moore
in the footsteps of Paul,
00:36:54.94\00:36:57.05
Lineage does a great
job along the same lines.
00:36:57.08\00:36:58.88
They do.
00:36:58.91\00:37:00.25
They really make history modern,
00:37:00.28\00:37:02.65
relevant and
beautiful for us today.
00:37:02.68\00:37:05.75
They film on location,
00:37:05.79\00:37:07.92
they're just
launching into Season 3,
00:37:07.96\00:37:12.36
of course, we
have several episodes
00:37:12.39\00:37:13.86
that air on 3ABN,
00:37:13.90\00:37:15.26
they follow the Reformation
in Europe, of course.
00:37:15.30\00:37:17.87
But Season III is it based
00:37:17.90\00:37:19.80
entirely on the
Conflict of the Ages series.
00:37:19.83\00:37:23.20
They're going to
make a couple of seasons
00:37:23.24\00:37:24.61
on the Old Testament
00:37:24.64\00:37:25.97
and a season on
the New Testament,
00:37:26.01\00:37:28.38
traveling to many
different countries.
00:37:28.41\00:37:30.08
And I'm excited
because it's on location.
00:37:30.11\00:37:32.55
It's relevant, it's
biblical, and it's engaging,
00:37:32.58\00:37:36.38
especially for
younger generations.
00:37:36.42\00:37:39.05
And I'm excited
about this project.
00:37:39.09\00:37:40.86
You know, like this, here,
we have it written down here.
00:37:40.89\00:37:42.56
It says Lineage is
not only about video,
00:37:42.59\00:37:45.29
but Lineage is
about creating resources
00:37:45.33\00:37:47.40
that makes history
modern, beautiful and relevant.
00:37:47.43\00:37:49.96
And it's basically talking
00:37:50.00\00:37:51.33
about how God has led
His people in the past,
00:37:51.37\00:37:53.13
but actually how
He's relevant now
00:37:53.17\00:37:54.87
and is there to
lead each one of us.
00:37:54.90\00:37:57.21
So Debbie Young
had the opportunity
00:37:57.24\00:37:58.57
of sitting down
with Clive Coutet.
00:37:58.61\00:38:00.68
He's the media
director for Lineage
00:38:00.71\00:38:03.18
and let's go to that
roll in interview right now.
00:38:03.21\00:38:05.51
Wow, that video had
such tremendous scenery.
00:39:25.79\00:39:29.80
Adam Ramdin and Clive Coutet,
00:39:29.83\00:39:32.17
we're so glad that
you're here with us
00:39:32.20\00:39:33.77
to tell us about Lineage.
00:39:33.80\00:39:35.44
So Clive, let me talk with you,
00:39:35.47\00:39:37.04
as the media director
00:39:37.07\00:39:38.57
share with us what
Lineage is all about?
00:39:38.61\00:39:42.31
So in 2016, we really saw a gap
00:39:42.34\00:39:45.81
where I was looking
through the great controversy,
00:39:45.85\00:39:48.65
we really couldn't see
00:39:48.68\00:39:50.02
some relevant
good resources online
00:39:50.05\00:39:52.12
that would help
young people understand
00:39:52.15\00:39:54.26
and some of these
locations based out in Europe.
00:39:54.29\00:39:56.59
So we decided to
create some videos,
00:39:56.62\00:39:57.96
we created 40
episodes on the Reformation.
00:39:57.99\00:40:01.36
And then after that
00:40:01.40\00:40:02.73
we ended up doing 52
episodes on Adventist history.
00:40:02.76\00:40:07.74
And we decided to
just create a resource
00:40:07.77\00:40:09.97
that could really help
young people understand,
00:40:10.01\00:40:12.24
you know, history in
the language of today.
00:40:12.27\00:40:14.58
So, Adam, as the host
00:40:14.61\00:40:16.98
and executive
director of Lineage,
00:40:17.01\00:40:19.01
tell us what's in the future?
00:40:19.05\00:40:20.48
What's the current project?
00:40:20.52\00:40:22.62
The current project is
often called Season III,
00:40:22.65\00:40:25.65
but season III
00:40:25.69\00:40:27.02
is actually
broken into four parts.
00:40:27.06\00:40:28.92
What we're doing in Season III,
00:40:28.96\00:40:31.59
is following
the series of books,
00:40:31.63\00:40:34.23
The Conflict of the Ages,
if anyone's familiar with them,
00:40:34.26\00:40:37.00
or would really
just following the Bible.
00:40:37.03\00:40:39.23
We're doing two
series on the Old Testament,
00:40:39.27\00:40:41.94
and two series
on the New Testament
00:40:41.97\00:40:44.74
traveling to Egypt, Jordan,
00:40:44.77\00:40:46.94
Israel, Turkey,
Greece, Italy, Malta,
00:40:46.98\00:40:51.75
and some of these
countries in the Middle East
00:40:51.78\00:40:53.65
that are rich in
biblical history.
00:40:53.68\00:40:55.72
And we want to bring
the Bible story to life.
00:40:55.75\00:40:58.32
It's not an
archaeological series.
00:40:58.35\00:41:00.62
But we're going to be following
00:41:00.66\00:41:01.99
the narrative of the
story of God's people
00:41:02.02\00:41:05.26
through the Bible,
00:41:05.29\00:41:06.63
and how God led His people
00:41:06.66\00:41:08.23
and the relevance of
those lessons for us today.
00:41:08.26\00:41:10.93
Now, Clive, I know
00:41:10.97\00:41:12.30
that Lineage is
not just about video,
00:41:12.33\00:41:14.04
tell us what other
things are in development?
00:41:14.07\00:41:17.87
So we're about
creating resources
00:41:17.91\00:41:20.21
that kind of bring,
00:41:20.24\00:41:21.58
make history modern,
make history beautiful,
00:41:21.61\00:41:23.71
and make history
relevant to us today.
00:41:23.75\00:41:25.85
So we've
created a coloring book,
00:41:25.88\00:41:27.65
we presented this last
year, but it wasn't quite ready.
00:41:27.68\00:41:30.39
But, you know, in the last year,
00:41:30.42\00:41:31.75
we've managed to
sell about 1,000 copies,
00:41:31.79\00:41:34.39
assist 16 custom
00:41:34.42\00:41:36.46
drawn Reformation illustrations,
00:41:36.49\00:41:38.33
and QR codes that go
straight to our website,
00:41:38.36\00:41:40.66
which tells you more information
00:41:40.70\00:41:42.03
about the characters,
00:41:42.06\00:41:43.40
plays videos
about the characters
00:41:43.43\00:41:44.77
and has lots of images
about characters as well.
00:41:44.80\00:41:47.44
So they have been
done really, really well.
00:41:47.47\00:41:49.77
And kids have really enjoyed
doing those illustrations
00:41:49.80\00:41:52.94
and coloring those in.
00:41:52.97\00:41:54.31
And we also have
some new study guides
00:41:54.34\00:41:56.41
that we're just about to launch,
00:41:56.44\00:41:58.11
we'll actually
launch today 48 study guides
00:41:58.15\00:42:00.95
on basically the
great controversy
00:42:00.98\00:42:02.62
in more detail
with interactive maps,
00:42:02.65\00:42:05.15
videos, images, and
discussion questions
00:42:05.19\00:42:07.26
for people who are
doing Bible studies.
00:42:07.29\00:42:09.06
So these actually all
available on Apple bookstore,
00:42:09.09\00:42:12.89
whether you have a
Mac, iPad, or iPhone,
00:42:12.93\00:42:15.16
and hopefully
somewhere down the line,
00:42:15.20\00:42:16.53
we'll be able to
get on Android too.
00:42:16.56\00:42:19.03
Wow, it sounds like
you have everything.
00:42:19.07\00:42:21.10
You've got the whole
spectrum of ages covered.
00:42:21.14\00:42:24.81
Tell us what kind of testimonies
00:42:24.84\00:42:26.64
or responses
that you've had, Adam?
00:42:26.68\00:42:28.21
We've had some
very interesting ones.
00:42:31.21\00:42:33.92
I don't know if Clive shared,
00:42:33.95\00:42:35.28
he may have shared
some of these last year.
00:42:35.32\00:42:37.02
The videos are
viewed in a lot of churches,
00:42:37.05\00:42:39.92
they're viewed
in a lot of schools.
00:42:39.95\00:42:43.06
But they also find
their ways into places
00:42:43.09\00:42:45.39
that we don't imagine.
00:42:45.43\00:42:46.76
I was just in
the town of Leicester
00:42:46.80\00:42:48.40
that's not too far
00:42:48.43\00:42:49.76
from where I
live here in England
00:42:49.80\00:42:51.13
and some 12-year old girl
came up to me and was like,
00:42:51.17\00:42:53.60
Oh, yeah, we watch your videos
00:42:53.64\00:42:55.40
in our religious
class at school today.
00:42:55.44\00:42:57.81
Not an Adventist
school, not a Christian school,
00:42:57.84\00:43:00.54
just a normal
state public school.
00:43:00.58\00:43:02.91
And it just blows our mind
00:43:02.94\00:43:04.28
that teachers are
looking for stuff online,
00:43:04.31\00:43:06.72
and they bump into Lineage
00:43:06.75\00:43:08.08
and they use it
in their classes.
00:43:08.12\00:43:09.82
That's, you know, we hear
00:43:09.85\00:43:11.85
that relatively
frequently of people
00:43:11.89\00:43:13.92
who are using these resources
in places we wouldn't know.
00:43:13.96\00:43:17.03
Just last week, I
had a friend of mine
00:43:17.06\00:43:19.49
who messaged me and said,
00:43:19.53\00:43:20.90
"I've got a Mormon friend,
00:43:20.93\00:43:22.90
you know, Latter Day Saints,
and she sent me a screenshot,
00:43:22.93\00:43:26.00
she's sharing
your Lineage videos
00:43:26.03\00:43:27.70
on her Facebook page, "
00:43:27.74\00:43:29.10
and that always encouraged us.
00:43:29.14\00:43:30.71
You know, we know our
people in our faith community
00:43:30.74\00:43:33.24
share the videos.
00:43:33.27\00:43:34.61
When we see people
outside of our faith,
00:43:34.64\00:43:37.11
who are going to
Lineage of the resource.
00:43:37.15\00:43:39.28
And there's another
story that we were told
00:43:39.31\00:43:40.95
by one of our team
members who went to train,
00:43:40.98\00:43:43.82
a Bible training
school several years ago
00:43:43.85\00:43:45.85
with someone else.
00:43:45.89\00:43:47.22
After they graduate
00:43:47.26\00:43:48.59
from their
Bible training school,
00:43:48.62\00:43:49.96
that friend fell off
the map, when I say that,
00:43:49.99\00:43:51.33
I mean fell off
the map spiritually,
00:43:51.36\00:43:53.13
and they got a job
on some desert island.
00:43:53.16\00:43:55.76
But then Corona hit,
00:43:55.80\00:43:57.27
and they were stuck
on this desert island
00:43:57.30\00:43:59.07
with his dream
job that didn't happen
00:43:59.10\00:44:01.74
and had nothing to do.
00:44:01.77\00:44:03.10
They binge
watched Lineage Season I,
00:44:03.14\00:44:05.17
they binge
watched Lineage Season II,
00:44:05.21\00:44:08.04
and essentially
brought them back to God
00:44:08.08\00:44:10.35
after eight years in
the spiritual wilderness
00:44:10.38\00:44:13.42
that they then came back
to God after watching Lineage,
00:44:13.45\00:44:15.55
had nothing to do but
to watch things online.
00:44:15.58\00:44:17.19
They found Lineage and
it brought them back to God
00:44:17.22\00:44:19.32
and stories like
that always encourage us.
00:44:19.35\00:44:22.06
Oh, that's wonderful.
00:44:22.09\00:44:23.43
We're praying
00:44:23.46\00:44:24.79
that God blesses
with the offerings,
00:44:24.83\00:44:26.53
so that Lineage can continue
doing the work that it's doing,
00:44:26.56\00:44:29.66
reaching people
and having the impact
00:44:29.70\00:44:31.97
that it needs to have for
the gospel of Jesus Christ.
00:44:32.00\00:44:34.87
Thank you very much,
gentlemen, for joining us.
00:44:34.90\00:44:38.51
Thank you.
00:44:38.54\00:44:41.31
Thank you so much,
Debbie, and Clive, and Adam,
00:44:41.34\00:44:44.05
excited about what God is
doing in and through Lineage
00:44:44.08\00:44:47.72
and looking forward
to those new season,
00:44:47.75\00:44:51.72
the new season coming out
00:44:51.75\00:44:53.09
and the Conflict
of the Ages series.
00:44:53.12\00:44:54.69
So it'd be exciting.
00:44:54.72\00:44:56.06
You know, of course 3ABN
we can appreciate production
00:44:56.09\00:44:59.29
and what it takes
to pull something off,
00:44:59.33\00:45:01.03
such as what Lineage
is doing, it's incredible.
00:45:01.06\00:45:03.03
You know, to go there
and the amount of research,
00:45:03.06\00:45:05.13
I had the opportunity
of talking to Adam Ramdin,
00:45:05.17\00:45:07.90
I think is it GYC,
actually, so a few months back,
00:45:07.94\00:45:10.34
and he was just talking
00:45:10.37\00:45:11.71
about the
tremendous amount of research
00:45:11.74\00:45:13.07
that he puts in, and you know,
00:45:13.11\00:45:14.44
and you have to appreciate that.
00:45:14.48\00:45:15.81
It's not just like,
okay, let's just do this.
00:45:15.84\00:45:17.18
No, they put a lot
of time and effort,
00:45:17.21\00:45:18.81
a lot of historical resources,
00:45:18.85\00:45:20.62
of course, the Bible
00:45:20.65\00:45:21.98
and the writings of Ellen White,
00:45:22.02\00:45:23.35
and it's just fantastic
what they put together.
00:45:23.39\00:45:24.72
It is indeed.
00:45:24.75\00:45:26.09
And we have one more
interview this hour for you.
00:45:26.12\00:45:29.36
And this is Julie O'Carey
sat down with Erwin Nanasi,
00:45:29.39\00:45:34.40
I'm not sure I'm
pronouncing his last name right.
00:45:34.43\00:45:36.83
But he is an
incredible musician.
00:45:36.87\00:45:39.00
He is, of course,
00:45:39.03\00:45:40.74
works at Weimar
as minister of music,
00:45:40.77\00:45:42.30
but this new project is
not associated with Weimar.
00:45:42.34\00:45:44.34
It's a project
00:45:44.37\00:45:45.71
that he's doing in collaboration
00:45:45.74\00:45:47.08
with some other people.
00:45:47.11\00:45:48.44
And it is a music project,
which I'm delighted about.
00:45:48.48\00:45:52.61
They're creating an app, a
hymnal app for worship music,
00:45:52.65\00:45:57.99
and it will have
three different focuses,
00:45:58.02\00:46:00.16
three different pieces, it
will have the accompaniment,
00:46:00.19\00:46:03.02
that of course, any musician,
pianist, organist would need.
00:46:03.06\00:46:06.43
It would have a lead
sheet for the singers,
00:46:06.46\00:46:08.56
and it will have the
stories behind the hymn.
00:46:08.60\00:46:11.23
So I'm excited
about this new project
00:46:11.27\00:46:14.10
and to think it'll be available
on your phone, isn't it?
00:46:14.14\00:46:16.44
Yeah, I mean, that's amazing
00:46:16.47\00:46:17.81
because when
they're talking app,
00:46:17.84\00:46:19.17
it's a phone app.
00:46:19.21\00:46:20.54
And what's really
nice, I can see schools,
00:46:20.58\00:46:22.91
churches, small groups,
using a resource like this.
00:46:22.94\00:46:27.65
And, of course, we
believe strongly that music,
00:46:27.68\00:46:30.02
of course, is a part of worship,
00:46:30.05\00:46:31.62
and what an incredible app.
00:46:31.65\00:46:33.82
So let's go to that
exciting video roll right now.
00:46:33.86\00:46:38.66
Hi, everyone,
00:46:38.69\00:46:40.03
thank you so much for
playing my favorite song,
00:46:40.06\00:46:43.13
that was beautiful.
00:46:43.16\00:46:44.83
You know, when I,
when I describe your music,
00:46:44.87\00:46:47.84
I would just say it's joyful.
00:46:47.87\00:46:50.24
You're a gifted
musician, just amazing musician.
00:46:50.27\00:46:54.44
So tell us a little bit
about the Know Him project.
00:46:54.48\00:46:58.38
Well, the Know Him project
00:46:58.41\00:46:59.75
is a project that is
to bring worshipful music
00:46:59.78\00:47:03.08
and high quality
to congregations,
00:47:03.12\00:47:05.22
especially hymn accompaniments.
00:47:05.25\00:47:07.69
Praise is so important,
00:47:07.72\00:47:09.06
and what better way to
do that than with hymns
00:47:09.09\00:47:11.16
that can be sung worldwide.
00:47:11.19\00:47:13.13
And so as
churches have requested it,
00:47:13.16\00:47:15.10
as individuals have requested,
as families, we thought,
00:47:15.13\00:47:18.97
it is time,
00:47:19.00\00:47:20.34
it is time to make
something like this available.
00:47:20.37\00:47:22.54
You know, I know
it's a real big need,
00:47:22.57\00:47:24.64
I traveled to a lot of
churches to speak for ASAP.
00:47:24.67\00:47:28.08
And when they
don't have a musician,
00:47:28.11\00:47:29.71
it affects the
whole worship experience.
00:47:29.74\00:47:32.88
And so I'm excited about this.
00:47:32.91\00:47:34.75
So what got you interested
in this project, Erwin?
00:47:34.78\00:47:38.49
See, several years
ago, two friends of mine,
00:47:38.52\00:47:40.52
Joel Nedley and Romero Quero,
00:47:40.56\00:47:42.02
they had been telling me
00:47:42.06\00:47:43.39
that there's a
demand for churches
00:47:43.43\00:47:44.79
to have music
00:47:44.83\00:47:46.16
and I said, you know,
we can just visit them.
00:47:46.19\00:47:49.06
And when we would
visit the churches,
00:47:49.10\00:47:50.77
they would say,
well, how can we listen
00:47:50.80\00:47:52.13
to more of this music
when you're not with us?
00:47:52.17\00:47:54.24
I said, "Well,
what can be done."
00:47:54.27\00:47:56.07
And so, throughout the time,
00:47:56.10\00:47:58.17
also working at
Weimar Institute,
00:47:58.21\00:47:59.64
I serve as
minister of music here.
00:47:59.67\00:48:01.98
We have patients that come,
we have students that are here,
00:48:02.01\00:48:05.25
church members
and community members
00:48:05.28\00:48:06.61
all around the world
00:48:06.65\00:48:07.98
that have been encouraging us
to provide something like this.
00:48:08.02\00:48:11.32
And we want to respond
00:48:11.35\00:48:12.85
to what we have
been asked to do.
00:48:12.89\00:48:14.82
And so, this is the
time to now put it out
00:48:14.86\00:48:17.03
so that people can listen
to hymns anywhere at any time.
00:48:17.06\00:48:21.16
I love how a
young person like you
00:48:21.20\00:48:24.03
would be passionate about hymns.
00:48:24.07\00:48:26.63
That's so cool.
00:48:26.67\00:48:28.44
Yeah, it wasn't
always like this.
00:48:28.47\00:48:29.97
When I was young,
00:48:30.01\00:48:31.34
I didn't understand
the hymns completely,
00:48:31.37\00:48:32.94
I didn't understand
the function that they had.
00:48:32.97\00:48:35.04
Let's see the
Bible talks about psalms,
00:48:35.08\00:48:36.88
hymns and spiritual songs.
00:48:36.91\00:48:38.45
And so hymns have
this particular function
00:48:38.48\00:48:40.52
of sharing more about Christ.
00:48:40.55\00:48:42.58
And so, in my research
00:48:42.62\00:48:43.95
that I was able to
conduct also case study,
00:48:43.99\00:48:46.35
and congregational hymn singing,
00:48:46.39\00:48:47.99
we noticed that
people enjoy the hymns
00:48:48.02\00:48:50.09
once they
understand them more fully.
00:48:50.13\00:48:52.09
And so for me,
as a young person,
00:48:52.13\00:48:53.76
I enjoyed them,
00:48:53.80\00:48:55.13
not in the least
because of the music now,
00:48:55.16\00:48:57.17
but also because of
the stories behind them.
00:48:57.20\00:48:58.87
Once you know
00:48:58.90\00:49:00.24
what the writer
has gone through,
00:49:00.27\00:49:01.60
and why they wrote something,
00:49:01.64\00:49:02.97
oh, you can say, I
can relate to that,
00:49:03.00\00:49:05.71
or there's a song about that.
00:49:05.74\00:49:07.14
That's amazing.
00:49:07.18\00:49:08.51
And before you know it,
00:49:08.54\00:49:09.88
you may even start
writing your own songs
00:49:09.91\00:49:11.25
and sharing them with others.
00:49:11.28\00:49:12.75
That's great.
00:49:12.78\00:49:14.12
So what would this
look like, this project?
00:49:14.15\00:49:18.55
So we are thinking of an app,
00:49:18.59\00:49:21.66
an app that can
be made available
00:49:21.69\00:49:23.56
to anyone in the world
00:49:23.59\00:49:24.93
so that you can easily access
the songs that you so like,
00:49:24.96\00:49:28.36
and it will have at
least three components.
00:49:28.40\00:49:30.47
One of them will
be hymn accompaniments
00:49:30.50\00:49:32.53
that are inspiring
00:49:32.57\00:49:33.90
that you will
sing your heart out,
00:49:33.94\00:49:35.54
not just background music,
00:49:35.57\00:49:36.94
but actually
singing with your heart
00:49:36.97\00:49:38.74
as if we're in a
congregation or a convention
00:49:38.77\00:49:40.64
or conference like an ASI.
00:49:40.68\00:49:42.44
The second thing is that,
00:49:42.48\00:49:43.81
we know that some of the songs
00:49:43.85\00:49:45.18
may be written
too low or too high.
00:49:45.21\00:49:47.05
And so we want to
put them on a lead sheet
00:49:47.08\00:49:49.25
that has a key
00:49:49.28\00:49:50.62
that is more
friendly to the singers,
00:49:50.65\00:49:52.75
and perhaps also
some harmonization
00:49:52.79\00:49:54.86
that may be more fresh
00:49:54.89\00:49:56.22
for those that are
interested in that.
00:49:56.26\00:49:57.59
The third one
00:49:57.63\00:49:58.96
is that we want to
include the stories.
00:49:58.99\00:50:00.76
So as you are
selecting one of the songs,
00:50:00.80\00:50:03.16
you can also reflect
on the stories and say,
00:50:03.20\00:50:05.27
oh, wow, this is
what is behind it.
00:50:05.30\00:50:07.34
Now, if there's a
more time that we have,
00:50:07.37\00:50:10.84
we are going to
include other items as well.
00:50:10.87\00:50:13.74
But this will be
the better version
00:50:13.78\00:50:15.11
that we want to make
available as soon as possible,
00:50:15.14\00:50:17.61
hopefully by December.
00:50:17.65\00:50:19.88
Wow, that sounds wonderful.
00:50:19.91\00:50:22.02
I can't wait for
this to come out.
00:50:22.05\00:50:24.42
So I know this has
taken a lot of work,
00:50:24.45\00:50:29.12
and it will take
you all a lot of work.
00:50:29.16\00:50:32.29
But is, are you doing this
on your own or is there a team?
00:50:32.33\00:50:37.53
I know you work at
Weimar as the minister of music.
00:50:37.57\00:50:41.14
Can you tell us a
little bit about that?
00:50:41.17\00:50:43.54
Yeah, I wouldn't be
able to do this by myself.
00:50:43.57\00:50:46.04
In fact, I didn't come up
with this idea to begin with.
00:50:46.07\00:50:48.71
I said, "This is
an enormous project."
00:50:48.74\00:50:51.55
We are thinking of recording
all the hymns at some point.
00:50:51.58\00:50:54.38
And not just in English,
00:50:54.42\00:50:55.75
but also perhaps some
hymns that are available
00:50:55.78\00:50:58.59
only say in
German or in Spanish,
00:50:58.62\00:51:00.99
and record those as well.
00:51:01.02\00:51:02.69
So while I'm going to be playing
00:51:02.72\00:51:04.06
the piano,
00:51:04.09\00:51:05.43
there will be others
involved in the recordings
00:51:05.46\00:51:07.00
in the editing,
00:51:07.03\00:51:08.36
in the note setting
00:51:08.40\00:51:10.07
and then also in
the app development.
00:51:10.10\00:51:12.77
It was such providence,
that about two weeks ago,
00:51:12.80\00:51:15.54
we had
00:51:15.57\00:51:16.91
a good Seventh-day
Adventist web developer
00:51:16.94\00:51:18.84
and software
designer contact me and said,
00:51:18.87\00:51:20.74
"Erwin, I don't
know much about music,
00:51:20.78\00:51:22.84
but I appreciate it.
00:51:22.88\00:51:24.21
And you have what we need.
00:51:24.25\00:51:26.48
And I think we
have what you need,
00:51:26.51\00:51:28.38
and that is app development."
00:51:28.42\00:51:29.95
I said, "This is
just a connection
00:51:29.98\00:51:32.55
made in heaven."
00:51:32.59\00:51:33.92
And so with that, we
can make it available
00:51:33.96\00:51:35.92
and we are so
excited about this,
00:51:35.96\00:51:38.19
because the praise of...
00:51:38.23\00:51:39.93
Praising God is so essential
to our work on this earth.
00:51:39.96\00:51:44.00
In fact, that's what we
will do in all of heaven.
00:51:44.03\00:51:46.10
And so, we want to inspire
others to join that praise now.
00:51:46.13\00:51:50.57
You know, I want to know
00:51:50.61\00:51:52.84
how I can be
notified when this app is out
00:51:52.87\00:51:55.98
because I want it
00:51:56.01\00:51:57.35
and I want it
for all the churches
00:51:57.38\00:51:59.01
that I work with
in Southeast Asia.
00:51:59.05\00:52:01.42
So how can I know when
this is going to be done?
00:52:01.45\00:52:06.59
That's a good question.
00:52:06.62\00:52:07.96
I think the best way to do
00:52:07.99\00:52:09.39
is that you are
going on our website,
00:52:09.42\00:52:12.29
SacredSoundFoundation.org.
00:52:12.33\00:52:15.36
And on our website,
00:52:15.40\00:52:16.73
you'll have the ability
to write us a little note.
00:52:16.77\00:52:19.30
And the reason we
have that note in there
00:52:19.33\00:52:20.84
is so that you can
mention your favorite hymn,
00:52:20.87\00:52:23.00
just like you mentioned
to me as water to the thirsty
00:52:23.04\00:52:25.37
and we were happy to
record that song for you.
00:52:25.41\00:52:28.38
We're happy to
record other hymns as well.
00:52:28.41\00:52:30.15
So if you have a favorite
that your church really enjoys,
00:52:30.18\00:52:33.31
then put those in there
00:52:33.35\00:52:34.68
and they may be
00:52:34.72\00:52:36.05
one of the first
ones that we're recording.
00:52:36.08\00:52:37.52
And so, if you send us an email,
00:52:37.55\00:52:38.89
you'll be
notified on all the updates
00:52:38.92\00:52:40.56
that are coming on this project.
00:52:40.59\00:52:42.46
Okay, thank you so much, Erwin.
00:52:42.49\00:52:44.79
And I want to say
congratulations on your baby.
00:52:44.83\00:52:48.30
Avi Jubilee.
00:52:48.33\00:52:49.86
And I hear he
loves music already.
00:52:49.90\00:52:52.30
So you know what
we're going to do now,
00:52:52.33\00:52:54.07
we're going to just
take a couple moments
00:52:54.10\00:52:56.44
to at the
conclusion here to stop
00:52:56.47\00:53:00.04
and reflect on
how great our Lord is,
00:53:00.08\00:53:02.41
as Erwin plays a
little snippet of that.
00:53:02.44\00:53:05.55
Thank you,
Erwin, God bless. Amen.
00:53:05.58\00:53:07.95
You too, God
bless you. Thank you.
00:53:07.98\00:53:09.78
Amen.
00:53:20.90\00:53:23.53
I'm excited about
this new music app.
00:53:23.57\00:53:25.57
I know I will
want to download it
00:53:25.60\00:53:27.77
for my own phone.
00:53:27.80\00:53:29.14
Amen.
00:53:29.17\00:53:30.51
And Erwin is a great pianist,
00:53:30.54\00:53:32.51
and he just has
a wonderful spirit.
00:53:32.54\00:53:34.08
He does.
00:53:34.11\00:53:35.44
I'm looking forward
00:53:35.48\00:53:36.81
to how God is going to use this.
00:53:36.85\00:53:38.18
You know, we hope
00:53:38.21\00:53:39.55
that you've
enjoyed this past hour
00:53:39.58\00:53:40.92
as much as we have.
00:53:40.95\00:53:42.28
You know, think about
00:53:42.32\00:53:43.65
whatever the Lord is
impressing upon your heart,
00:53:43.69\00:53:45.12
these ministries needs support,
00:53:45.15\00:53:46.62
you know, I think
about all of the ways
00:53:46.65\00:53:49.32
that they're
ministering to other people,
00:53:49.36\00:53:51.33
local community
with through canvassing,
00:53:51.36\00:53:53.26
the academies we talked
about, in the footsteps of Paul,
00:53:53.29\00:53:56.13
Tony Moore, Lineage I
know I'm forgetting some,
00:53:56.16\00:53:58.60
Erwin Nanasi.
00:53:58.63\00:54:00.47
You know, they're all doing
what God has called them to do.
00:54:00.50\00:54:04.31

would really appreciate it

because they're
doing the work of the Lord.
00:54:09.34\00:54:10.68
Amen.
00:54:10.71\00:54:12.05
