as our endeavor
is and our commission
00:01:56.24\00:01:57.85
is to reach the entire world
00:01:57.88\00:01:59.21
with the undiluted
three angels' messages
00:01:59.25\00:02:01.22
of Jesus Christ.
00:02:01.25\00:02:02.58
And we're
excited today, aren't we?
00:02:02.62\00:02:03.95
This is gonna be a
really fun program.
00:02:03.99\00:02:06.55
Jill and I are trying
not to tell you our age,
00:02:06.59\00:02:09.82
but we're gonna be...
00:02:09.86\00:02:11.19
Our interview today is...
00:02:11.23\00:02:13.16
I think you gonna say
how old we are gonna be.
00:02:13.19\00:02:14.53
Well.
00:02:14.56\00:02:15.90
No, yeah, we won't do that,
00:02:15.93\00:02:17.27
but we're turning to be
talking to Hartland College
00:02:17.30\00:02:18.83
or Hartland Institute,
which is our alma mater.
00:02:18.87\00:02:21.87
Jill and I went
to Harland College.
00:02:21.90\00:02:23.81
This is gonna kind
of age us a little bit.
00:02:23.84\00:02:25.24
Over 20 years ago.
00:02:25.27\00:02:26.61
Yeah. You know what?
00:02:26.64\00:02:27.98
Let's just say today, 1996
00:02:28.01\00:02:29.38
I think is when I first
stepped on to the campus
00:02:29.41\00:02:31.61
of Hartland Institute.
00:02:31.65\00:02:33.18
And it was a great experience
00:02:33.21\00:02:34.85
for me and my spiritual journey.
00:02:34.88\00:02:36.58
But if you
watched the Today program,
00:02:36.62\00:02:38.69
the Hartland was here
about a year or two ago,
00:02:38.72\00:02:40.76
and this is an update,
00:02:40.79\00:02:42.12
but they have some
exciting new things
00:02:42.16\00:02:43.99
that are
happening there at Hartland.
00:02:44.03\00:02:45.76
And we want to
share that with you today.
00:02:45.79\00:02:47.33
We're gonna hear an
incredible testimony as well
00:02:47.36\00:02:49.86
and see what God is doing
00:02:49.90\00:02:51.40
and what a great
place, God has raised up
00:02:51.43\00:02:53.10
Hartland Institute
for these end times.
00:02:53.13\00:02:55.34
Amen. We believe in the
mission of Hartland College.
00:02:55.37\00:02:59.04
And Greg and I both
went to school there.
00:02:59.07\00:03:01.24
We graduated from
there and I met him there.
00:03:01.28\00:03:04.45
We met each other there.
00:03:04.48\00:03:05.81
So that's a good
thing that happened too.
00:03:05.85\00:03:07.85
But I think about
the great commission.
00:03:07.88\00:03:09.22
I think for myself personally,
00:03:09.25\00:03:12.19
I did not really
understand the great commission,
00:03:12.22\00:03:14.99
you know, given in Matthew 28,
00:03:15.02\00:03:16.36
I did not understand
that our purpose in life
00:03:16.39\00:03:18.76
is to go and make disciples
00:03:18.79\00:03:20.53
to spread the
gospel to the world.
00:03:20.56\00:03:23.43
The mission focus of
Hartland College is incredible.
00:03:23.47\00:03:27.54
And when I was a student
there, I learned about that,
00:03:27.57\00:03:30.81
that my goal and purpose in life
00:03:30.84\00:03:33.64
is to share Jesus.
00:03:33.68\00:03:35.28
So we're so excited to
have our guests here today.
00:03:35.31\00:03:38.81
The president of
Hartland College,
00:03:38.85\00:03:40.82
Pastor Nobert Restrepo.
00:03:40.85\00:03:43.72
It's such a
privilege to have you here.
00:03:43.75\00:03:45.82
Thank you so much.
00:03:45.85\00:03:47.19
It's a privilege
to be here once again.
00:03:47.22\00:03:49.29
And we are
delighted to be able to share
00:03:49.32\00:03:51.46
what the Lord is doing.
00:03:51.49\00:03:52.83
And you yourselves are witnesses
00:03:52.86\00:03:54.30
of how God has used
Hartland in the past.
00:03:54.33\00:03:56.40
And we have a
great burden to see
00:03:56.43\00:03:57.93
what He's gonna do in the future
00:03:57.97\00:03:59.50
as we draw closer and
closer to His second coming.
00:03:59.53\00:04:01.70
Amen.
00:04:01.74\00:04:03.27
Sitting next to you
is your beautiful wife,
00:04:03.30\00:04:05.24
Ivonne Restrepo, and you
are Donor Relations coordinator,
00:04:05.27\00:04:08.44
and it's just a
privilege to have you here.
00:04:08.48\00:04:10.08
Now, did you come last
time with your husband?
00:04:10.11\00:04:11.91
I'm trying to
remember. No, he came.
00:04:11.95\00:04:13.88
I didn't come. So
this is your first time?
00:04:13.92\00:04:15.92
Yes. Yay. Welcome to 3ABN.
00:04:15.95\00:04:18.85
And what does Donor
Relations coordinator?
00:04:18.89\00:04:20.66
What does that mean at Hartland?
00:04:20.69\00:04:22.32
What it means now
is that we believe
00:04:22.36\00:04:24.13
that we need to
minister to people.
00:04:24.16\00:04:26.49
That's the greatest need
00:04:26.53\00:04:28.23
and out of
ministering to the needs,
00:04:28.26\00:04:30.80
the Lord manifest
Himself in the great blessings,
00:04:30.83\00:04:33.94
not only financially,
00:04:33.97\00:04:35.57
we really wanna touch
hearts and make connections.
00:04:35.60\00:04:37.77
We believe that we need to
make connections with people
00:04:37.81\00:04:40.64
'cause we
cannot end up this work
00:04:40.68\00:04:42.48
by ourselves as an institution.
00:04:42.51\00:04:44.18
We need to partner with alumni,
00:04:44.21\00:04:47.52
with other institutions
and we will be speaking
00:04:47.55\00:04:49.42
more about that in the program.
00:04:49.45\00:04:50.79
Yay. That's wonderful.
00:04:50.82\00:04:52.45
Coming around the island here,
00:04:52.49\00:04:54.39
sitting next to you.
00:04:54.42\00:04:55.76
I got to make sure I
get his last name correct.
00:04:55.79\00:04:57.69
This is Dr. Karl Tsatalbasidis.
00:04:57.73\00:05:01.40
That's very good.
00:05:01.43\00:05:02.76
That's, well,
that's very kind of you.
00:05:02.80\00:05:06.10
And, of course, we're
gonna call you Dr. Karl,
00:05:06.13\00:05:07.77
but you're a vice
president of Student Affairs
00:05:07.80\00:05:10.11
and the
Religion Department chair
00:05:10.14\00:05:11.67
at Hartland College.
00:05:11.71\00:05:13.04
And we could say his claim
to fame is he is Sophia's dad.
00:05:13.07\00:05:16.14
If you watch 3ABN
any length of time,
00:05:16.18\00:05:18.91
Sophia sing on Kids Time.
00:05:18.95\00:05:20.28
How long did she
sing on Kids Time?
00:05:20.32\00:05:21.78
She's been singing there
for almost about 20 years.
00:05:21.82\00:05:24.35
We brought her when she
was about four years old.
00:05:24.39\00:05:26.79
She's 25 right now.
00:05:26.82\00:05:28.56
And it's hard to believe all
that time has gone by, but...
00:05:28.59\00:05:31.49
That's amazing.
00:05:31.53\00:05:32.86
She was texting me today saying,
00:05:32.89\00:05:34.23
hey, we'll be
praying for the interview.
00:05:34.26\00:05:35.60
I said, well,
this time, sweetheart,
00:05:35.63\00:05:37.20
it's about Hartland
and me, not about you.
00:05:37.23\00:05:40.97
Kind of set her straight. Yeah.
00:05:41.00\00:05:43.20
But tell us what she's doing
00:05:43.24\00:05:44.57
because there'd
be someone at home
00:05:44.61\00:05:45.94
that says, oh,
we love her singing.
00:05:45.97\00:05:47.31
Tell us what she's doing now?
00:05:47.34\00:05:48.68
She wanted to
go into med school,
00:05:48.71\00:05:50.05
but then she had a
change of mind and I think
00:05:50.08\00:05:52.25
she made the right
decision and went into nursing,
00:05:52.28\00:05:54.18
a lot more versatility there.
00:05:54.22\00:05:55.92
And she had a
degree in biochemistry
00:05:55.95\00:05:58.82
and she was able to go
00:05:58.85\00:06:00.19
into a
fast-track nursing program
00:06:00.22\00:06:01.82
at Shenandoah
University in Virginia,
00:06:01.86\00:06:04.33
and she'll be done in December.
00:06:04.36\00:06:06.49
Wow. And the Lord has
really been good to her.
00:06:06.53\00:06:09.60
You know, during the
midst of the pandemic,
00:06:09.63\00:06:11.37
she was wondering
where can I go to school?
00:06:11.40\00:06:13.20
And I can remember us
sitting down praying at home
00:06:13.23\00:06:16.04
saying, Lord,
we've already brought her
00:06:16.07\00:06:18.14
through one phase of
education and money is tight.
00:06:18.17\00:06:22.11
Could you please provide for us?
00:06:22.14\00:06:24.28
And He provided her
with a full scholarship
00:06:24.31\00:06:26.35
to go to Shenandoah University
with expenses paid as well.
00:06:26.38\00:06:30.35
So the Lord has
been really good to her.
00:06:30.39\00:06:32.29
You know, all that time
she invested coming here
00:06:32.32\00:06:34.26
at 3ABN and ministering,
00:06:34.29\00:06:36.59
you know, the Lord pays
back in so many different ways.
00:06:36.62\00:06:39.29
So that's kind
of what she's up to.
00:06:39.33\00:06:40.66
And she still loves singing.
I was just gonna ask that.
00:06:40.70\00:06:42.63
So she's still
singing, praise the Lord.
00:06:42.66\00:06:44.00
Absolutely. What
a phenomenal talent.
00:06:44.03\00:06:45.93
Oh, yeah. She's really gifted.
00:06:45.97\00:06:47.57
Well, we want to
hear some of your journey
00:06:47.60\00:06:48.94
of how you came to
Hartland and what's going on,
00:06:48.97\00:06:50.74
but we have one
more guest to introduce.
00:06:50.77\00:06:53.44
This is Saw Klay Tun.
00:06:53.48\00:06:55.24
And you're a
student at Hartland.
00:06:55.28\00:06:57.41
What year are you at Hartland?
00:06:57.45\00:06:58.91
I'm in the third year.
00:06:58.95\00:07:01.08
And where are you from?
00:07:01.12\00:07:02.62
I'm originally born in Thailand,
00:07:02.65\00:07:05.12
but I'm from Burma.
00:07:05.15\00:07:06.62
Okay. Wow.
00:07:06.65\00:07:07.99
And he has an amazing testimony,
00:07:08.02\00:07:10.53
which we want to hear as
well, as far as how God worked
00:07:10.56\00:07:13.19
in your life and
brought you here.
00:07:13.23\00:07:15.00
But maybe someone's
watching and saying,
00:07:15.03\00:07:16.43
what is Hartland College?
00:07:16.46\00:07:18.07
So why don't you give us
00:07:18.10\00:07:19.43
just a little, Pastor
Restrepo, we'll start with you.
00:07:19.47\00:07:21.64
And anybody can jump in,
but what is Hartland College?
00:07:21.67\00:07:24.31
And tell us
actually, where it's located.
00:07:24.34\00:07:25.67
You know,
'cause a lot of people,
00:07:25.71\00:07:27.04
they hear Hartland and
they think the Midwest,
00:07:27.08\00:07:28.41
because this is
considered the Hartland
00:07:28.44\00:07:29.78
of the United States,
00:07:29.81\00:07:31.15
but it's not in the
Midwest, Hartland College.
00:07:31.18\00:07:32.51
No, no.
00:07:32.55\00:07:33.88
Start out where
it's actually located.
00:07:33.92\00:07:35.25
Sure.
00:07:35.28\00:07:36.62
So Hartland is located
just one hour and 30 minutes
00:07:36.65\00:07:37.99
away from Washington DC,
the capital of our nation.
00:07:38.02\00:07:40.76
So we are very
strategically located
00:07:40.79\00:07:42.66
and we think
that's for a purpose.
00:07:42.69\00:07:44.66
So we are in pretty
much Northern Virginia and...
00:07:44.69\00:07:48.33
Beautiful area.
Beautiful Piedmont area.
00:07:48.36\00:07:51.63
We're blessed
with 600 acres of land,
00:07:51.67\00:07:55.14
ponds, forest
trails, very scenic.
00:07:55.17\00:07:58.07
It's just the right
environment to bring education
00:07:58.11\00:08:01.54
and also restoration to people.
00:08:01.58\00:08:04.11
And the purpose of Hartland
is to train missionaries,
00:08:04.15\00:08:08.22
to spread the
three angels' messages
00:08:08.25\00:08:10.45
in these modern times.
00:08:10.49\00:08:12.79
Wow. Amen.
00:08:12.82\00:08:14.16
So tell us a little
bit about Hartland too,
00:08:14.19\00:08:15.52
because it's,
you're the president
00:08:15.56\00:08:16.89
of Hartland Institute,
00:08:16.93\00:08:18.26
but under that falls
many different things
00:08:18.29\00:08:19.63
'cause you've got the college,
and just give us a breakdown
00:08:19.66\00:08:21.00
of what Hartland
actually comprises of?
00:08:21.03\00:08:23.30
Definitely, the two main
branches of Hartland Institute.
00:08:23.33\00:08:26.63
In fact, that's
part of its name,
00:08:26.67\00:08:28.10
Hartland Institute
of Health and Education.
00:08:28.14\00:08:30.34
Yes. So the two main
branches are the college.
00:08:30.37\00:08:33.11
We also have an
academy, a day academy
00:08:33.14\00:08:35.11
and the wellness center,
00:08:35.14\00:08:37.25
the Hartland Wellness
Center is another main focus,
00:08:37.28\00:08:40.25
under that we also
have the Hartland bookstore.
00:08:40.28\00:08:42.58
We have Last Generation,
00:08:42.62\00:08:43.95
which is an
evangelistic magazine
00:08:43.99\00:08:47.09
and we have Piedmont camp
00:08:47.12\00:08:48.76
for youth from 12
to 17 years of age
00:08:48.79\00:08:51.56
and other smaller departments
00:08:51.59\00:08:53.40
that function as laboratories
for our college students
00:08:53.43\00:08:57.93
to have real
world practice in them.
00:08:57.97\00:09:00.27
And we're doing
outreach to our community
00:09:00.30\00:09:02.20
through those programs.
00:09:02.24\00:09:03.57
Amen. Yeah.
00:09:03.61\00:09:05.07
All encompassing
really when you look at it.
00:09:05.11\00:09:06.47
Yes, they're all integrated.
00:09:06.51\00:09:08.21
Yes.
00:09:08.24\00:09:09.58
And the conference center too,
00:09:09.61\00:09:10.95
because you have what
we call camp meetings,
00:09:10.98\00:09:12.41
but you have like convocations
00:09:12.45\00:09:14.28
or your camp
meetings at Hartland campus.
00:09:14.32\00:09:16.25
Every single quarter
we have a convocation
00:09:16.28\00:09:19.22
and during the summer we
have the summer conference,
00:09:19.25\00:09:21.19
which is coming
up soon on July 14th.
00:09:21.22\00:09:23.63
So yes, every three months
we have this great activity.
00:09:23.66\00:09:26.49
We invite selected speakers
and lots of people come,
00:09:26.53\00:09:29.93
our students,
we are all blessed.
00:09:29.96\00:09:31.67
So yes, the conference
center has that purpose as well
00:09:31.70\00:09:33.94
to bless our students
00:09:33.97\00:09:35.50
and also to bless
our surrounding community
00:09:35.54\00:09:38.44
with the testimonies
our students get to share
00:09:38.47\00:09:41.34
as speakers in
the early morning.
00:09:41.38\00:09:42.84
And then we have
our guest speakers.
00:09:42.88\00:09:44.48
That's good. That's great.
00:09:44.51\00:09:45.85
And then what would be
like full capacity for students?
00:09:45.88\00:09:47.38
Like if you
were to be maxed out,
00:09:47.42\00:09:48.75
how many
students can you handle?
00:09:48.78\00:09:50.79
Right now our max
would be 85 students.
00:09:50.82\00:09:53.19
That's great.
00:09:53.22\00:09:54.56
And, of course,
00:09:54.59\00:09:55.92
we are looking
forward to that good problem.
00:09:55.96\00:09:57.43
Amen.
00:09:57.46\00:09:58.79
You know I like that
00:09:58.83\00:10:00.16
because sometimes
I don't wanna say,
00:10:00.20\00:10:01.53
can get too big, but I
think there is the point
00:10:01.56\00:10:02.90
where a placing get so big
00:10:02.93\00:10:04.27
that you don't
have that one on one
00:10:04.30\00:10:05.63
with the
instructors that are there.
00:10:05.67\00:10:07.00
So I think that's a nice
00:10:07.04\00:10:08.37
actually amount
of students to have.
00:10:08.40\00:10:09.74
That's one of the
purpose of Hartland
00:10:09.77\00:10:12.37
is that when
students come like Klay
00:10:12.41\00:10:14.31
and many other
students from overseas,
00:10:14.34\00:10:17.05
because we have
a high percentage
00:10:17.08\00:10:18.58
of overseas students.
00:10:18.61\00:10:19.95
Wonderful.
00:10:19.98\00:10:21.32
They can't find a
college, but a family
00:10:21.35\00:10:22.95
because we believe
that education is given
00:10:22.98\00:10:24.92
through the way
we treat each other,
00:10:24.95\00:10:26.76
sharing with each
other, not only in classroom,
00:10:26.79\00:10:29.42
but we want to go
out of the classroom
00:10:29.46\00:10:30.93
to work with our students.
00:10:30.96\00:10:32.39
I can work with
cleaning the farm,
00:10:32.43\00:10:34.20
but I'm teaching him as well.
00:10:34.23\00:10:36.16
We can coordinate
outreach together,
00:10:36.20\00:10:38.23
it's just sharing time together.
00:10:38.27\00:10:40.64
So when we think in a
college that we could be family
00:10:40.67\00:10:44.31
and develop relationships
and the students can find
00:10:44.34\00:10:46.78
in the staff different people
that they can connect with.
00:10:46.81\00:10:50.85
So that's one of the things
that we really want to target.
00:10:50.88\00:10:55.35
I know we're going to
be talking more detail
00:10:55.38\00:10:56.82
here about Hartland College,
00:10:56.85\00:10:58.39
but I'm thinking about the farm,
00:10:58.42\00:11:00.66
she mentioned that.
00:11:00.69\00:11:02.02
And I just have to talk
about my experience right
00:11:02.06\00:11:03.39
when I was there too.
00:11:03.43\00:11:04.76
And I had the wonderful
experience and I'm serious.
00:11:04.79\00:11:06.13
It was wonderful.
00:11:06.16\00:11:07.50
Actually, I spent some
time in the watermelon field
00:11:07.53\00:11:11.80
and spent some
time in the greenhouse.
00:11:11.83\00:11:13.27
You've been in the greenhouse?
00:11:13.30\00:11:14.64
Yes, I did. Yes. Okay, yeah.
00:11:14.67\00:11:16.50
And then the
cafeteria, but I really liked
00:11:16.54\00:11:19.07
the balance at least, you know,
00:11:19.11\00:11:20.64
far as the work, the education.
00:11:20.68\00:11:22.74
And I know you've
got some even new things
00:11:22.78\00:11:24.18
that you're working on to
just increase that balance
00:11:24.21\00:11:26.51
at Hartland.
00:11:26.55\00:11:27.88
So I'm just excited about
today in talking about Hartland
00:11:27.92\00:11:30.59
what God is doing there.
00:11:30.62\00:11:32.05
Amen.
00:11:32.09\00:11:33.42
I know the specific
focus of this interview
00:11:33.46\00:11:34.79
is about Hartland College.
00:11:34.82\00:11:36.16
That's right.
00:11:36.19\00:11:37.53
The new
developments and the curriculum,
00:11:37.56\00:11:38.89
and what's taking place,
00:11:38.93\00:11:40.26
the missionary training program.
00:11:40.30\00:11:41.63
But before we jump into that,
00:11:41.66\00:11:43.00
why don't you tell us just
00:11:43.03\00:11:44.37
how you came to
Hartland College?
00:11:44.40\00:11:45.73
We'll start with Restrepos.
00:11:45.77\00:11:47.10
How the Lord led
and brought you here?
00:11:47.14\00:11:49.47
Well, that's quite a journey,
00:11:49.50\00:11:51.17
but when shortly after
the Hartland had started
00:11:51.21\00:11:55.48
looking for a new president
to replace Dr. Colin Standish,
00:11:55.51\00:11:59.18
she was having
some health challenges
00:11:59.21\00:12:01.78
and they started
that search committee,
00:12:01.82\00:12:04.09
someone suggested
our name to the committee
00:12:04.12\00:12:07.72
and they reached out to us,
00:12:07.76\00:12:09.16
actually a staff and
a student from Hartland
00:12:09.19\00:12:11.16
reached out to us.
00:12:11.19\00:12:12.53
And at first I just
thought it was kind of,
00:12:12.56\00:12:15.40
you know, that's
something impossible,
00:12:15.43\00:12:17.93
so I didn't take it seriously.
00:12:17.97\00:12:20.17
But about a year later,
00:12:20.20\00:12:21.77
I received a phone call from
Mr. Shin on January 16th, 2010.
00:12:21.80\00:12:27.51
Wow.
00:12:27.54\00:12:28.88
And I really started
praying seriously about it
00:12:28.91\00:12:32.38
and thought, well, the
Lord leads in strange ways.
00:12:32.41\00:12:35.65
Lord can lead in strange ways.
00:12:35.68\00:12:37.39
And we've always felt a
burden for a young people
00:12:37.42\00:12:40.86
and to educate them in a
way that their needs are met,
00:12:40.89\00:12:45.36
and they're prepared adequately
00:12:45.39\00:12:48.23
to be modern
Waldensian missionaries.
00:12:48.26\00:12:51.30
So we thought, well,
maybe God is opening a broader
00:12:51.33\00:12:54.17
opportunity to do that,
00:12:54.20\00:12:55.57
because we were doing
that in South America,
00:12:55.60\00:12:58.11
we were doing it in Colombia.
00:12:58.14\00:12:59.47
We had a school by God's
grace. We had 85 students.
00:12:59.51\00:13:01.98
We had two
vegetarian restaurants.
00:13:02.01\00:13:04.31
We had a lifestyle
center, we had a farm,
00:13:04.35\00:13:06.15
we had a publishing ministry,
00:13:06.18\00:13:08.02
but we understood that
from the United States,
00:13:08.05\00:13:11.29
it would have a broader impact
00:13:11.32\00:13:12.85
and more in an institution
that was already running.
00:13:12.89\00:13:15.26
Sure.
00:13:15.29\00:13:16.62
So eventually God led
00:13:16.66\00:13:17.99
and from the several candidates,
00:13:18.03\00:13:19.36
the board was
impressed to select us
00:13:19.39\00:13:21.10
to come and
serve in that capacity.
00:13:21.13\00:13:22.73
Amen. Amen.
Praise the Lord. Wow.
00:13:22.76\00:13:24.80
And Dr. Karl, what about you?
How did you come to Hartland?
00:13:24.83\00:13:27.34
What's your journey?
00:13:27.37\00:13:28.70
So I've been
pastoring in Michigan
00:13:28.74\00:13:30.27
for about 18 years,
00:13:30.31\00:13:31.64
and I was led to move
into doctoral studies.
00:13:31.67\00:13:35.31
I had a project that I
really wanted to take hold of
00:13:35.34\00:13:38.51
and I became a
Seventh-day Adventist Christian
00:13:38.55\00:13:41.55
when I was in my early 20s.
00:13:41.58\00:13:43.32
And at that point
in my life, I thought,
00:13:43.35\00:13:45.35
you know, I had
a lot of questions.
00:13:45.39\00:13:47.46
I knew kind of
the mindset of people
00:13:47.49\00:13:50.86
that were maybe
coming into the church
00:13:50.89\00:13:52.59
and the things
that I struggled with,
00:13:52.63\00:13:53.96
I thought this would be
a good time to give back.
00:13:54.00\00:13:56.43
And so I was led
to go into education.
00:13:56.46\00:13:58.47
I was teaching at
Ouachita Hills for 10 years.
00:13:58.50\00:14:01.37
And as I finished
the PhD from Andrews,
00:14:01.40\00:14:06.47
I thought, okay, Lord, I
don't know what's next door
00:14:06.51\00:14:09.48
after door, after
door, after door closed,
00:14:09.51\00:14:11.78
I was beginning to think
what on earth was happening.
00:14:11.81\00:14:14.78
And finally the
call came from Hartland
00:14:14.82\00:14:16.99
and it was to teach
maybe a class or two.
00:14:17.02\00:14:19.79
And then the interim religion
department chair reached out
00:14:19.82\00:14:23.53
and said, well, we're actually
looking for a department chair.
00:14:23.56\00:14:26.49
And I thought, wow,
00:14:26.53\00:14:28.16
this would be a
great opportunity
00:14:28.20\00:14:29.70
then to become a
part of giving back,
00:14:29.73\00:14:31.97
learning to shape a department.
00:14:32.00\00:14:33.84
We do live in
tumultuous times. We do.
00:14:33.87\00:14:36.84
The message had
such an impact on me.
00:14:36.87\00:14:39.14
And so just went
through the interview process
00:14:39.17\00:14:41.54
and it has been a wonderful
experience in this first year.
00:14:41.58\00:14:44.71
Amen. That's great.
00:14:44.75\00:14:46.35
What a blessing
you are to the staff.
00:14:46.38\00:14:47.98
I can see that
already. Praise the Lord.
00:14:48.02\00:14:50.89
And what about you?
00:14:50.92\00:14:52.25
What's your journey to Hartland?
00:14:52.29\00:14:53.62
Well, I never
heard of Hartland before,
00:14:53.66\00:14:55.76
so I was in the jungle war zone,
00:14:55.79\00:14:58.26
which is in Burma.
00:14:58.29\00:15:00.06
And it was a time where we have
00:15:00.10\00:15:03.06
a very war happening.
00:15:03.10\00:15:06.74
It was the...
00:15:06.77\00:15:08.10
I think two Adventist school
need to run away from the war,
00:15:08.14\00:15:11.77
and then they weren't
able to continue their study
00:15:11.81\00:15:15.21
until the end
of the school year.
00:15:15.24\00:15:17.18
And it was there as surely.
00:15:17.21\00:15:19.68
Internet was very hard
00:15:19.71\00:15:21.32
and somehow I
opened my messenger
00:15:21.35\00:15:23.35
and I found hotline.edu.
00:15:23.39\00:15:25.79
Wow.
00:15:25.82\00:15:27.16
And my supervisor
told me that, check it out.
00:15:27.19\00:15:29.79
This is the only
school that I can find for you
00:15:29.82\00:15:32.89
to have a safety place.
00:15:32.93\00:15:34.76
He spoke as a spiritually.
00:15:34.80\00:15:37.13
And then I tried to
download the catalog
00:15:37.17\00:15:39.87
and going to the, up to the hill
00:15:39.90\00:15:42.60
and try to
download it for two hours.
00:15:42.64\00:15:45.27
When I try here usually
it is less than two seconds.
00:15:45.31\00:15:50.28
So you were trying
to climb up on a hill
00:15:50.31\00:15:51.65
to get a better
reception to download.
00:15:51.68\00:15:53.62
Wow. Praise the Lord.
00:15:53.65\00:15:54.98
And what year are
you, you said again?
00:15:55.02\00:15:57.12
This is my third
year. Third year?
00:15:57.15\00:15:58.65
Yep. Okay. Fantastic.
Well, praise the Lord.
00:15:58.69\00:16:01.96
You know, God has
us all on a journey.
00:16:01.99\00:16:03.32
Think about it.
00:16:03.36\00:16:04.69
You know, you been president now
00:16:04.73\00:16:06.06
for over 10 years
in Hartland Institute.
00:16:06.09\00:16:08.70
And what an incredible job
00:16:08.73\00:16:10.10
you're doing
with your team there,
00:16:10.13\00:16:12.20
but what are some of the
new developments happening
00:16:12.23\00:16:14.24
at Hartland College?
00:16:14.27\00:16:15.60
I know that there's
some exciting things
00:16:15.64\00:16:16.97
taking place there.
00:16:17.01\00:16:18.34
Yes.
00:16:18.37\00:16:19.71
Today we wanna highlight
four major developments
00:16:19.74\00:16:21.08
and we thank the
Lord so much for them,
00:16:21.11\00:16:22.71
as Jill was mentioning earlier,
00:16:22.74\00:16:24.71
God has called us to
give the great commission.
00:16:24.75\00:16:27.02
Yes.
00:16:27.05\00:16:28.38
To share the everlasting gospel
00:16:28.42\00:16:29.88
and make disciples in
every nation of the world.
00:16:29.92\00:16:33.52
And as we feel that call,
00:16:33.56\00:16:35.09
it brings to my mind a paragraph
00:16:35.12\00:16:37.03
from the book
Ministry of Healing,
00:16:37.06\00:16:38.93
True Education and
Missionary Training.
00:16:38.96\00:16:41.63
"True education is
missionary training.
00:16:41.66\00:16:44.20
Every son and daughter of God
is called to be a missionary.
00:16:44.23\00:16:47.77
To fit us for this service
00:16:47.80\00:16:49.27
should be the
object of our education."
00:16:49.30\00:16:51.61
And then the
Spirit of Prophecy adds,
00:16:51.64\00:16:54.44
"We know not in what
line our children may serve.
00:16:54.48\00:16:57.95
They may spend their lives
within the circle of the home,
00:16:57.98\00:17:01.18
they may engage in
life's common vocations,
00:17:01.22\00:17:04.25
or go as teachers of
the gospel to heathen lands,
00:17:04.29\00:17:07.72
but all are alike
called to be missionaries."
00:17:07.76\00:17:11.43
So how to make this
relevant in the 21st century.
00:17:11.46\00:17:14.93
Yeah.
00:17:14.96\00:17:16.30
So we started out by
asking questions at GYC, ASI.
00:17:16.33\00:17:19.30
We developed a
survey, we put it online
00:17:19.33\00:17:21.70
and we started getting answers.
00:17:21.74\00:17:23.87
And what the response
we got is young people
00:17:23.91\00:17:27.31
who are missionary minded.
00:17:27.34\00:17:28.81
They want a place
where they can become solidly
00:17:28.84\00:17:32.45
established in
the biblical message
00:17:32.48\00:17:35.38
that God has entrusted
00:17:35.42\00:17:36.75
the Seventh-day
Adventist Church.
00:17:36.79\00:17:38.12
They also want to
know how to share it
00:17:38.15\00:17:39.52
effectively with others.
00:17:39.55\00:17:41.66
They want to know the tools
00:17:41.69\00:17:44.19
to be able to share their
faith in the 21st century.
00:17:44.23\00:17:47.83
That's good.
00:17:47.86\00:17:49.20
And they also want to be
able to embed that training
00:17:49.23\00:17:52.23
in a professional career,
00:17:52.27\00:17:54.40
that they can be effective
in our current society.
00:17:54.44\00:17:57.47
So how can you bring
these three things together?
00:17:57.51\00:18:00.71
That was our quest,
and that is our journey.
00:18:00.74\00:18:03.71
As a result of that
00:18:03.75\00:18:05.85
we developed the
following four products.
00:18:05.88\00:18:07.65
Okay.
00:18:07.68\00:18:09.02
So we have improved
our core curriculum,
00:18:09.05\00:18:11.05
which are the main classes
that every Hartland student,
00:18:11.09\00:18:14.02
no matter what major
they're taking has to take.
00:18:14.06\00:18:16.69
Okay.
00:18:16.73\00:18:18.06
So that's an
amazing development,
00:18:18.09\00:18:19.43
they're very intentional.
00:18:19.46\00:18:20.80
And what would be
some of the classes
00:18:20.83\00:18:22.16
that are in the
new core curriculum?
00:18:22.20\00:18:24.07
So some of the new classes
in the new core curriculum are,
00:18:24.10\00:18:27.74
they emphasize, of course
00:18:27.77\00:18:29.57
our Seventh-day
Adventist message.
00:18:29.60\00:18:31.37
So every student is
well grounded in that,
00:18:31.41\00:18:33.41
how to study the
Bible and how to share it.
00:18:33.44\00:18:35.94
Oh, good.
00:18:35.98\00:18:37.31
Then we have the
emphasis on the missiology,
00:18:37.35\00:18:41.92
cross-cultural ministry,
world religions, discipleship,
00:18:41.95\00:18:47.39
church growth
strategies, prayer coaching,
00:18:47.42\00:18:50.53
a lot of tools so
that they can be effective.
00:18:50.56\00:18:53.93
Then on top of that,
00:18:53.96\00:18:55.30
we have another
series of classes
00:18:55.33\00:18:56.73
such as digital
ministry foundations.
00:18:56.77\00:18:59.50
In the 21st century
00:18:59.53\00:19:00.87
every single
graduate needs to know tools
00:19:00.90\00:19:03.61
to be able to reach
people through media.
00:19:03.64\00:19:05.77
So even if you're
not a media student,
00:19:05.81\00:19:07.14
you're gonna attend that class.
00:19:07.18\00:19:08.51
Wow. You say
that, that's powerful.
00:19:08.54\00:19:09.88
That's really good.
00:19:09.91\00:19:11.25
I like that.
That's considered a core.
00:19:11.28\00:19:12.61
Yes.
00:19:12.65\00:19:13.98
It's part of
the core curriculum.
00:19:14.02\00:19:15.35
Another core class
is a teaching seminar
00:19:15.38\00:19:18.82
because they all need
to be effective teachers
00:19:18.85\00:19:21.29
and other core class is
the entrepreneurial mindset.
00:19:21.32\00:19:24.46
Ooh, I love it.
00:19:24.49\00:19:25.83
Ministry and leadership,
ministry and economics.
00:19:25.86\00:19:28.80
So even if
you're taking education.
00:19:28.83\00:19:30.73
Yeah. Take these core classes.
00:19:30.77\00:19:32.10
Exactly, core classes
00:19:32.13\00:19:33.50
to give them this
very balanced structure
00:19:33.54\00:19:36.27
to all of them.
00:19:36.30\00:19:37.64
Then we're
adding on top of that.
00:19:37.67\00:19:39.61
You know, and we'll
talk more about that later.
00:19:39.64\00:19:42.21
And some of Dr.
Karl will explain
00:19:42.24\00:19:44.15
more and my wife as well
00:19:44.18\00:19:45.68
about the Hartland
Missionary Training School,
00:19:45.71\00:19:47.98
which is a summer program
that is focusing specially
00:19:48.02\00:19:51.65
on missionary training
and soul-winning tools.
00:19:51.69\00:19:53.49
That's brand new
as well, then. Yeah.
00:19:53.52\00:19:54.99
That's also brand new. Wow.
00:19:55.02\00:19:56.52
And then every single
major in the curriculum
00:19:56.56\00:19:59.96
is being revamped,
00:20:00.00\00:20:01.36
so that it can be more effective
00:20:01.40\00:20:03.50
career oriented
00:20:03.53\00:20:04.87
over this platform
of missionary training,
00:20:04.90\00:20:07.04
because the last
and great development
00:20:07.07\00:20:08.57
is that we're
pursuing accreditation
00:20:08.60\00:20:10.34
so that all of our graduates
00:20:10.37\00:20:12.04
can be able to
perform as missionaries
00:20:12.07\00:20:14.44
in a wide variety of settings.
00:20:14.48\00:20:16.48
And thus they
will not be limited
00:20:16.51\00:20:18.38
in the ways they
can serve the Lord.
00:20:18.41\00:20:20.72
Amen. Wow.
00:20:20.75\00:20:22.18
That's a lot of exciting
things that are taking place,
00:20:22.22\00:20:24.32
a lot of new things.
00:20:24.35\00:20:25.69
For some, that's not
familiar with Hartland,
00:20:25.72\00:20:27.16
I don't know which one of
you wanna talk about this,
00:20:27.19\00:20:28.52
but what are the majors
00:20:28.56\00:20:29.89
that are offered
at Hartland College
00:20:29.92\00:20:31.26
that might help some of us
00:20:31.29\00:20:32.63
listening right
now or watching saying,
00:20:32.66\00:20:34.00
wow, that's
Hartland sounds interesting.
00:20:34.03\00:20:35.36
What do they have to offer?
00:20:35.40\00:20:36.73
Well, we have
religion majors, media majors.
00:20:36.77\00:20:38.70
Klay is a health major.
00:20:38.73\00:20:40.77
Okay.
00:20:40.80\00:20:42.14
Education majors,
00:20:42.17\00:20:43.51
not sure whether
I've left anything.
00:20:43.54\00:20:44.87
And midwifery.
00:20:44.91\00:20:46.24
Wow. Okay. That's a lot.
00:20:46.27\00:20:48.64
And then the courses are a
couple of years, four years.
00:20:48.68\00:20:51.61
What's kind of the term
00:20:51.65\00:20:53.45
that someone has to
think about committing to?
00:20:53.48\00:20:55.75
Yeah.
00:20:55.78\00:20:57.12
I know in my department
00:20:57.15\00:20:58.55
that we have four
year level courses
00:20:58.59\00:21:01.69
in which they can be majors,
00:21:01.72\00:21:03.76
religion majors
offer also offering
00:21:03.79\00:21:05.66
of religion major, minor.
00:21:05.69\00:21:07.03
But we also
believe that there's room
00:21:07.06\00:21:08.40
for like a two year
associate degree as well.
00:21:08.43\00:21:11.27
So those are some of
the things that I know
00:21:11.30\00:21:13.34
religion is offering.
00:21:13.37\00:21:14.70
Okay.
00:21:14.74\00:21:16.07
And that'd be like for
the media major as well,
00:21:16.10\00:21:17.44
then the health, maybe
there's a two year option
00:21:17.47\00:21:19.17
and a four year?
00:21:19.21\00:21:20.54
Definitely.
00:21:20.58\00:21:21.91
So we have
baccalaureate programs
00:21:21.94\00:21:23.28
and we have associate
degree programs to students.
00:21:23.31\00:21:25.81
And within each
one of these programs,
00:21:25.85\00:21:28.58
these departments, we
have different tracks.
00:21:28.62\00:21:30.95
So Dr. Karl will explain more,
00:21:30.99\00:21:32.85
like you have two
tracks within, currently
00:21:32.89\00:21:35.02
within the religion department?
00:21:35.06\00:21:36.39
Yeah, that is correct.
00:21:36.42\00:21:37.76
So the one track
00:21:37.79\00:21:39.13
can take you to the
theological seminary at Andrews.
00:21:39.16\00:21:41.76
So including
like Greek and Hebrew,
00:21:41.80\00:21:43.93
things of that sort,
then there's another track
00:21:43.97\00:21:46.57
that can be combined with maybe
having like a health minor.
00:21:46.60\00:21:50.41
We're privileged to have
the lifestyle center there.
00:21:50.44\00:21:52.54
So there's a lot of
activity and knowledge
00:21:52.57\00:21:54.64
and training
that's involved there.
00:21:54.68\00:21:57.01
And as we all know,
00:21:57.05\00:21:58.91
Jesus did as much healing
00:21:58.95\00:22:00.28
as He did
preaching and teaching.
00:22:00.32\00:22:01.65
And so, so that offers
students the combination
00:22:01.68\00:22:05.05
of the religion major and like
something like a health minor
00:22:05.09\00:22:07.16
or media, as we think
about the 21st century.
00:22:07.19\00:22:09.32
Very good. That's excellent.
00:22:09.36\00:22:11.69
And then in
education, we have elementary
00:22:11.73\00:22:13.53
and secondary education
with emphasis in religion
00:22:13.56\00:22:17.57
and also in health education.
00:22:17.60\00:22:19.73
And Dr. Andrew
Smith is the new chair
00:22:19.77\00:22:22.64
of the education department.
00:22:22.67\00:22:24.31
He's been a blessing
just as we have Dr. Karl,
00:22:24.34\00:22:27.21
the Lord has led us to
highly qualified people
00:22:27.24\00:22:30.35
with years of experience,
with the academic credentials
00:22:30.38\00:22:33.78
to be able to
take our institution
00:22:33.82\00:22:35.58
to the next level.
00:22:35.62\00:22:36.95
And most importantly,
with a heart and passion
00:22:36.99\00:22:40.19
for mission and the
Seventh-day Adventist message.
00:22:40.22\00:22:43.22
So, you know, we
could go on and explain.
00:22:43.26\00:22:45.53
I'll just mention briefly,
within the health department
00:22:45.56\00:22:48.33
we are offering three
baccalaureate programs
00:22:48.36\00:22:50.27
that will start this fall.
00:22:50.30\00:22:52.33
The first one is a
health science educator
00:22:52.37\00:22:55.24
with emphasis in lifestyle.
00:22:55.27\00:22:56.97
The second one is
a foods and nutrition
00:22:57.01\00:22:59.77
of bachelor's degree.
00:22:59.81\00:23:01.14
And the third one is
pre-health professional.
00:23:01.18\00:23:04.78
And in this
pre-health professional,
00:23:04.81\00:23:06.61
we are
structuring it in such a way
00:23:06.65\00:23:08.28
that if you want to move on
00:23:08.32\00:23:09.65
to do medicine or dental school
00:23:09.68\00:23:11.02
or other these type of
professional health careers,
00:23:11.05\00:23:14.79
then that will
enable them to move on.
00:23:14.82\00:23:16.93
Amen.
00:23:16.96\00:23:18.29
This is exciting to
hear the developments
00:23:18.33\00:23:20.40
that's taking place
at Hartland College,
00:23:20.43\00:23:22.13
Hartland Institute,
00:23:22.16\00:23:23.60
and to me this concept of
moving toward accreditation
00:23:23.63\00:23:27.37
is revolutionary
00:23:27.40\00:23:28.80
because the
graduates can engage in jobs
00:23:28.84\00:23:32.24
in today's society,
00:23:32.27\00:23:33.61
but yet keep the
focus on mission.
00:23:33.64\00:23:37.65
The focus on spreading
00:23:37.68\00:23:39.01
the three angles'
messages and evangelism.
00:23:39.05\00:23:41.85
So to have the
marriage, you could say,
00:23:41.88\00:23:43.99
the partnership of
the two is amazing.
00:23:44.02\00:23:46.96
I know that you have a
video, a couple of videos.
00:23:46.99\00:23:50.39
The first video that
we're going to go to is
00:23:50.43\00:23:52.76
a video of just telling you
00:23:52.79\00:23:54.36
what Hartland
College is all about.
00:23:54.40\00:23:56.43
For the last 35 years,
Hartland College has provided
00:24:18.42\00:24:21.79
a training ground for students
00:24:21.82\00:24:23.73
who want to be risk
takers for the gospel.
00:24:23.76\00:24:26.53
The Hartland
training isn't for anyone,
00:24:26.56\00:24:28.66
but it is for those who
want to fulfill their calling
00:24:28.70\00:24:30.93
to push the three
angels' message forward.
00:24:30.97\00:24:33.03
Here, we aim to
keep the standards of God
00:24:33.07\00:24:35.64
above the
standards of the world.
00:24:35.67\00:24:37.51
We provide an education
00:24:37.54\00:24:39.11
that designed to give
00:24:39.14\00:24:40.48
a practical hands on experience,
00:24:40.51\00:24:42.38
along with that
00:24:42.41\00:24:43.75
which is studied
in the classrooms.
00:24:43.78\00:24:45.91
Oh! So that's
how the heart works?
00:24:45.95\00:24:48.02
Exactly!
00:24:48.05\00:24:49.48
That's how the heart works!
00:24:49.52\00:24:52.12
As a four year college,
00:24:52.15\00:24:53.49
we help students
integrate faith and learning
00:24:53.52\00:24:55.59
from beyond the classroom
out into the mission field.
00:24:55.62\00:24:58.99
And by organizing events
like foreign mission trips,
00:24:59.03\00:25:03.23
community health
fairs, Bible studies,
00:25:03.26\00:25:06.84
music concerts, youth programs,
00:25:06.87\00:25:10.41
summer camps
00:25:10.44\00:25:12.87
and so much more.
00:25:12.91\00:25:16.54
The students have opportunities
to apply textbook knowledge
00:25:16.58\00:25:20.05
into real life situations.
00:25:20.08\00:25:22.38
Our passion is to
train medical missionaries
00:25:22.42\00:25:24.85
and to reach the community
with our lifestyle center.
00:25:24.89\00:25:27.79
To train midwives to
touch the lives of mothers
00:25:27.82\00:25:30.46
in their most vulnerable times.
00:25:30.49\00:25:32.36
To trained teachers
who will inspire the love
00:25:32.39\00:25:34.80
of learning for a lifetime.
00:25:34.83\00:25:36.56
To train writers,
designers and producers
00:25:36.60\00:25:39.90
who can create
life changing content.
00:25:39.93\00:25:42.14
To train pastors
and Bible workers
00:25:42.17\00:25:44.31
to feed a hungry world.
00:25:44.34\00:25:45.81
And finally, to train a
generation of young people
00:25:45.84\00:25:49.31
who will be equipped
00:25:49.34\00:25:50.68
to fulfill the Gospel Commission
00:25:50.71\00:25:52.28
to finish the work
with the Adventist message.
00:25:52.31\00:25:56.52
Now you have the opportunity
00:25:56.55\00:25:58.25
to change lives
around the world.
00:25:58.29\00:26:01.92
Visit hartland.edu to
partner with us today.
00:26:01.96\00:26:04.09
Amen. Wow.
00:26:19.31\00:26:20.64
What an incredible
video and a good job.
00:26:20.68\00:26:22.11
I'm sure your media team
put that together as well.
00:26:22.14\00:26:24.25
And, of course, we look
at production a lot here.
00:26:24.28\00:26:27.15
That's good quality right there,
00:26:27.18\00:26:29.38
but it's amazing to
see those buildings.
00:26:29.42\00:26:31.19
You know, a lot
of them are the same.
00:26:31.22\00:26:33.09
Of course it's been years
since Jill and I were there.
00:26:33.12\00:26:34.56
And as we're
watching that, Jill said,
00:26:34.59\00:26:35.92
"That was my room over there."
00:26:35.96\00:26:38.49
But yeah, incredible
work that you're doing there.
00:26:38.53\00:26:40.66
And I like that
at the end there,
00:26:40.70\00:26:42.06
equipping young
people to finish the work.
00:26:42.10\00:26:45.03
That's what it's all about.
00:26:45.07\00:26:46.40
You know, that's why
you're talking about donors
00:26:46.43\00:26:47.80
and supporters, right?
00:26:47.84\00:26:49.17
That's why people give,
00:26:49.20\00:26:50.54
that's why you give to
support the Ministry of 3ABN.
00:26:50.57\00:26:51.91
It's about finishing the work
00:26:51.94\00:26:53.41
and about finding
souls for the kingdom of God.
00:26:53.44\00:26:56.34
That's what it's all about.
00:26:56.38\00:26:57.71
And young people
to think about that,
00:26:57.75\00:26:59.08
it's incredible, right?
00:26:59.11\00:27:00.45
You're training
them, you're teaching them
00:27:00.48\00:27:01.82
and then it's
like a ripple, right?
00:27:01.85\00:27:03.18
That person then
creates their own ripple,
00:27:03.22\00:27:04.55
gets bigger and bigger
and all these little ripples
00:27:04.59\00:27:06.49
and you're
covering the entire world.
00:27:06.52\00:27:07.86
Amen.
00:27:07.89\00:27:09.22
Education, of course, I
mean, means a lot to you
00:27:09.26\00:27:10.59
because you took
education at Hartland,
00:27:10.63\00:27:12.19
but, yeah incredible job.
00:27:12.23\00:27:14.66
So speaking of accreditation,
00:27:14.70\00:27:16.20
I know just before
we were mentioning that.
00:27:16.23\00:27:19.73
Some people might be saying,
00:27:19.77\00:27:21.10
but is accreditation wrong,
00:27:21.14\00:27:23.51
and should Hartland be
pursuing accreditation?
00:27:23.54\00:27:26.84
So what would you say to that?
00:27:26.88\00:27:29.11
Definitely it is a valid concern
00:27:29.14\00:27:31.61
and there are many people
who come to the conclusion
00:27:31.65\00:27:35.72
that accreditation is synonymous
00:27:35.75\00:27:38.22
with compromise of the
principles of education,
00:27:38.25\00:27:41.79
that when you
have an external agency
00:27:41.82\00:27:45.03
hovering over your
institution and some belief
00:27:45.06\00:27:48.80
even dictating
what you have to do,
00:27:48.83\00:27:50.83
then that can derail you.
00:27:50.87\00:27:52.80
So those are valid concerns.
00:27:52.83\00:27:54.84
However, they're also based
on certain conclusions drawn.
00:27:54.87\00:27:59.57
But when we take a closer
look at what accreditation is.
00:27:59.61\00:28:03.08
Accreditation
is quality control,
00:28:03.11\00:28:06.18
but it's quality
control based on what you,
00:28:06.21\00:28:08.38
yourself determined to offer.
00:28:08.42\00:28:10.75
So as an institution,
you have to be very clear,
00:28:10.79\00:28:12.59
what is your mission?
00:28:12.62\00:28:13.96
What is your curriculum?
00:28:13.99\00:28:15.32
What is it that you're offering?
00:28:15.36\00:28:16.69
What are the learning
outcomes that you are promising
00:28:16.73\00:28:18.66
by God's grace,
00:28:18.69\00:28:20.03
then they will
hold you accountable
00:28:20.06\00:28:22.23
to what you are
actually offering.
00:28:22.26\00:28:25.00
So people need to understand
that that's very crucial.
00:28:25.03\00:28:28.50
Now, what are
some of the pitfalls?
00:28:28.54\00:28:30.27
Definitely, if you need
to strengthen your program
00:28:30.31\00:28:34.64
and in that effort, you
start bringing in individuals
00:28:34.68\00:28:38.11
who don't have the same mindset,
00:28:38.15\00:28:39.95
who don't share the same goals,
00:28:39.98\00:28:41.35
who don't have the
same passion for mission.
00:28:41.38\00:28:43.82
Then eventually
you will be derailed.
00:28:43.85\00:28:46.05
And that's where
we have to be careful,
00:28:46.09\00:28:47.89
make sure that you
recruit, you hire people
00:28:47.92\00:28:49.76
who are like-minded
with the same passion
00:28:49.79\00:28:51.86
for winning souls
and for the principles
00:28:51.89\00:28:54.26
that God has
entrusted His church with.
00:28:54.30\00:28:56.16
So there is no reason to fear.
00:28:56.20\00:28:57.63
In fact, the Spirit of
Prophecy makes it clear that
00:28:57.67\00:28:59.43
we should
educate our young people
00:28:59.47\00:29:01.10
in our institutions
00:29:01.14\00:29:02.47
so that they can be
licensed and they can perform
00:29:02.50\00:29:05.17
and not have to send
them to other institutions
00:29:05.21\00:29:07.51
because we cannot
provide that foundation.
00:29:07.54\00:29:11.91
Yeah, no, that's
a great question.
00:29:11.95\00:29:13.28
'Cause I know
some people do think,
00:29:13.31\00:29:14.65
you know, our thought,
wow, you know, it's compromise,
00:29:14.68\00:29:16.22
you know, you don't want
to be diluted in any way.
00:29:16.25\00:29:18.59
So yeah, that's great.
00:29:18.62\00:29:19.95
So, yeah, thank you for
answering that question.
00:29:19.99\00:29:21.49
I know we have some pictures.
00:29:21.52\00:29:23.16
Should we go to some of those,
00:29:23.19\00:29:24.53
'cause I know time's
getting away from us.
00:29:24.56\00:29:25.89
We want to hear
your testimony as well
00:29:25.93\00:29:27.26
and talk about the
summer training program too.
00:29:27.30\00:29:29.53
So, yeah, tell us
about the pictures
00:29:29.56\00:29:30.90
as we're getting
ready to see here?
00:29:30.93\00:29:32.27
Yes.
00:29:32.30\00:29:33.64
So we can start with
the entrance of Hartland,
00:29:33.67\00:29:36.04
established in 1983 by
Seventh-day Adventists.
00:29:36.07\00:29:39.24
And we, as I mentioned before,
00:29:39.27\00:29:40.98
we're blessed to
have a wonderful campus
00:29:41.01\00:29:42.78
of more than 600 acres of trails
00:29:42.81\00:29:46.08
to the riverfront and all that.
00:29:46.11\00:29:48.88
This is the main
building, the mansion,
00:29:48.92\00:29:50.72
the administrative building.
00:29:50.75\00:29:53.66
We have guest rooms
in the second floor,
00:29:53.69\00:29:55.89
which used to be ladies room.
00:29:55.92\00:29:57.53
We can use them as
well in the future.
00:29:57.56\00:29:59.19
This is the lifestyle center
and college section as well.
00:29:59.23\00:30:04.43
So the main
section of that building
00:30:04.47\00:30:06.23
is the lifestyle center.
00:30:06.27\00:30:07.60
And then there
is a smaller section
00:30:07.64\00:30:09.00
that is college classrooms
00:30:09.04\00:30:10.87
and we're blessed to have that.
00:30:10.91\00:30:13.27
These are some of
the classrooms there
00:30:13.31\00:30:14.91
equipped for to
train the young people.
00:30:14.94\00:30:17.81
We have the media classroom,
you can see the shiny green
00:30:17.85\00:30:20.68
that's to stimulate
their creative juices.
00:30:20.72\00:30:23.79
Yes.
00:30:23.82\00:30:25.25
Even the chairs
have a little green.
00:30:25.29\00:30:26.76
Yes. We have the farm.
00:30:26.79\00:30:28.99
We believe
agriculture is an integral part
00:30:29.02\00:30:31.43
of a manual education,
which is also crucial.
00:30:31.46\00:30:34.76
And all of our
students learned that.
00:30:34.80\00:30:37.03
We have the conference center,
00:30:37.07\00:30:38.67
which we now
it's a full building.
00:30:38.70\00:30:40.77
It's had climate control,
00:30:40.80\00:30:43.14
and we have a four
convocations every year.
00:30:43.17\00:30:45.71
We have
graduation just last weekend.
00:30:45.74\00:30:47.51
We had a wonderful graduation.
00:30:47.54\00:30:50.21
These are our
visitor guest rooms
00:30:50.25\00:30:52.45
for health guests
00:30:52.48\00:30:53.82
and also for visiting
professors and speakers.
00:30:53.85\00:30:56.99
And this is the ladies dorm.
00:30:57.02\00:30:58.55
The men's dorm are
just the same like that.
00:30:58.59\00:31:00.62
That's the structure.
00:31:00.66\00:31:02.09
We can house up to 20
students in those rooms.
00:31:02.12\00:31:04.96
Now you're seeing the cafeteria
00:31:04.99\00:31:07.23
where we serve
healthy and delicious food
00:31:07.26\00:31:09.46
for our students and visitors.
00:31:09.50\00:31:11.70
And we're blessed with that.
00:31:11.73\00:31:13.60
We have
beautiful ponds and lakes
00:31:13.64\00:31:16.04
and we have canoes
00:31:16.07\00:31:17.41
to do different
recreational activities
00:31:17.44\00:31:19.47
that will also
enhance the social experience.
00:31:19.51\00:31:22.08
And we're blessed
with the Canadian geese.
00:31:22.11\00:31:24.05
And these are
just a few pictures
00:31:24.08\00:31:25.41
that we shared with you
because God has blessed us
00:31:25.45\00:31:27.58
with a campus that
itself is so invigorating.
00:31:27.62\00:31:31.82
Amen. Beautiful campus. Amen.
00:31:31.85\00:31:34.12
Beautiful school,
and beautiful purpose
00:31:34.16\00:31:37.69
to spread the
three angels' messages.
00:31:37.73\00:31:40.30
What a blessing.
00:31:40.33\00:31:41.66
Ivonne, I'm just thinking
in your role there at Hartland,
00:31:41.70\00:31:45.17
you must interact
with a lot of students
00:31:45.20\00:31:47.40
and hear their
stories and their journeys.
00:31:47.44\00:31:50.11
And what is that like for you?
00:31:50.14\00:31:52.64
It's a blessing 'cause
I'm a life biblical coach,
00:31:52.67\00:31:55.24
a health coach and
a mental health coach.
00:31:55.28\00:31:57.28
So when we receive the students,
00:31:57.31\00:31:59.01
we don't only want
like a package for them
00:31:59.05\00:32:02.02
to take to the world is a
transformation experience.
00:32:02.05\00:32:05.05
We wanna walk the
journey with them.
00:32:05.09\00:32:07.19
So it's just amazing to see
00:32:07.22\00:32:10.16
how the Lord bring the students.
00:32:10.19\00:32:12.29
And we wanna be witness
of His work in their lives
00:32:12.33\00:32:15.76
because if their
lives are transformed,
00:32:15.80\00:32:17.73
then they have a
message to preach with power.
00:32:17.77\00:32:19.90
That's right.
00:32:19.93\00:32:21.27
And that's one of the
reasons Klay is today with us,
00:32:21.30\00:32:25.31
because if we
talk about Hartland
00:32:25.34\00:32:27.64
about these wonderful
things that God is doing
00:32:27.68\00:32:30.21
the new curriculum,
00:32:30.25\00:32:31.58
but how does it
look like in real life?
00:32:31.61\00:32:34.12
So we would like him
to share his experience,
00:32:34.15\00:32:36.82
so people could
see what is like.
00:32:36.85\00:32:38.65
Amen. Yeah.
00:32:38.69\00:32:40.22
Tell us about your testimony?
00:32:40.26\00:32:42.29
So I was born in
the refugee camp,
00:32:42.32\00:32:45.29
which is in Thailand and
when I was nine months old,
00:32:45.33\00:32:48.70
then we got the war broke
out and we just need to run.
00:32:48.73\00:32:52.83
It was very risky.
00:32:52.87\00:32:54.20
My father was captured,
00:32:54.24\00:32:55.97
so it was very
risky, but to make it short.
00:32:56.00\00:32:59.91
So my mom was able to rescue him
00:32:59.94\00:33:03.41
and then we tried to
run back to Burma tents
00:33:03.45\00:33:06.51
so that it will be safe.
00:33:06.55\00:33:08.58
I remember when I was a kid,
00:33:08.62\00:33:10.49
I always dreamed to be the monk
00:33:10.52\00:33:12.32
because I was born
in the Buddhist family,
00:33:12.35\00:33:15.52
you know, to
have power, do miracle
00:33:15.56\00:33:17.73
and do those things good.
00:33:17.76\00:33:19.79
But I think God has
a purpose in my life.
00:33:19.83\00:33:22.50
And I went through many things,
00:33:22.53\00:33:25.03
but I just want to
let my father know it
00:33:25.07\00:33:27.17
just by any chance, if
you watch this interview,
00:33:27.20\00:33:30.01
knowing that I love you.
00:33:30.04\00:33:33.07
When I was four years old,
00:33:33.11\00:33:34.44
I was sexually
abused by my uncle.
00:33:34.48\00:33:38.45
And then my parents
were working so hard
00:33:38.48\00:33:41.38
striving to live a daily life
00:33:41.42\00:33:43.35
because life in
Burma is really poor.
00:33:43.39\00:33:45.35
Were they in the
refugee camp there
00:33:45.39\00:33:46.76
or they were in the
refugee camp in Thailand.
00:33:46.79\00:33:48.62
And then in
Burma, you were no longer
00:33:48.66\00:33:49.99
in the refugee camp?
00:33:50.03\00:33:51.36
I was only nine
months in the refugee camp.
00:33:51.39\00:33:54.00
And then we moved back to Burma
00:33:54.03\00:33:55.36
because of the war
00:33:55.40\00:33:56.73
and because of
unsafety, that's right.
00:33:56.77\00:33:58.73
Yeah.
00:33:58.77\00:34:00.10
And at that time I
was left with my sister
00:34:00.14\00:34:01.97
and I went through
many physical abuse
00:34:02.00\00:34:04.14
and verbal abuse.
00:34:04.17\00:34:05.67
So then I realized that
00:34:05.71\00:34:09.81
because of the
financial situations
00:34:09.84\00:34:12.05
and we all need to
stop our education.
00:34:12.08\00:34:14.45
I was 10. My
sisters were 12 and 14.
00:34:14.48\00:34:18.39
I don't know,
it's a miracle I think,
00:34:18.42\00:34:19.85
I'm still studying at Hartland.
00:34:19.89\00:34:21.59
It's a miracle.
00:34:21.62\00:34:22.96
Amen. Yeah.
00:34:22.99\00:34:24.33
And my sisters and my
mother were working in Thailand
00:34:24.36\00:34:27.03
and I was still with my father
00:34:27.06\00:34:29.16
and I realized that
00:34:29.20\00:34:30.93
many times my father
didn't come back home.
00:34:30.97\00:34:33.74
So he were, I don't know,
00:34:33.77\00:34:35.44
one or two days a
week he will come home
00:34:35.47\00:34:38.71
and I was only 10
years so I was staying alone
00:34:38.74\00:34:41.34
and many, many times
two, three, four days,...
00:34:41.38\00:34:45.38
I will only eat white rice
and you pour with the water
00:34:45.41\00:34:49.12
and sprinkle with the salt
00:34:49.15\00:34:50.99
and that's what I have
00:34:51.02\00:34:52.35
That's it? That's right.
00:34:52.39\00:34:53.72
But I'm so
grateful with my neighbor.
00:34:53.76\00:34:55.52
I'm so sorry. Yeah.
00:34:55.56\00:34:57.53
It's an experience.
00:34:57.56\00:34:58.89
Yeah. Quick question.
00:34:58.93\00:35:00.56
So were you actually in school?
00:35:00.60\00:35:02.53
I was in the school at the time.
00:35:02.56\00:35:04.73
Wow. That's right. Yeah.
00:35:04.77\00:35:06.10
Even though your
dad's not home...
00:35:06.13\00:35:07.47
That's right. Yes. Okay.
00:35:07.50\00:35:09.04
So I will go to school by myself
00:35:09.07\00:35:10.51
and come and cook for myself
00:35:10.54\00:35:13.01
even when I was very young.
00:35:13.04\00:35:14.38
Yes. So I was, yeah.
00:35:14.41\00:35:16.91
And praise God
through those experiences.
00:35:16.95\00:35:18.45
When I was 14, my
mom called me again
00:35:18.48\00:35:20.75
and she stayed
in the refugee camp
00:35:20.78\00:35:23.05
and she said, it's very poor,
00:35:23.08\00:35:25.92
but we can promise you
that you'll have an education.
00:35:25.95\00:35:29.46
And I was actually attending
the Adventist high school,
00:35:29.49\00:35:32.26
I didn't know that.
00:35:32.29\00:35:33.80
Wow. They
taught about the Bible.
00:35:33.83\00:35:36.83
I was real.
00:35:36.87\00:35:38.20
It was really interesting
00:35:38.23\00:35:39.57
because
everything is new for me.
00:35:39.60\00:35:40.94
This is an Adventist high school
00:35:40.97\00:35:42.30
in the refugee camp?
00:35:42.34\00:35:43.67
In the refugee camp. Yes.
00:35:43.71\00:35:45.04
So there, after my
second year of high school,
00:35:45.07\00:35:48.81
that evangelist came and shared
about the love of the Father,
00:35:48.84\00:35:53.21
because I was, yeah,
when I stayed with my father,
00:35:53.25\00:35:57.12
I felt rejected.
00:35:57.15\00:35:58.99
And I felt that I was not loved
00:35:59.02\00:36:00.49
because many times
00:36:00.52\00:36:01.86
he will bring
the other children.
00:36:01.89\00:36:03.39
I realized that
the reason he was upset
00:36:03.43\00:36:05.19
because he was
with another woman
00:36:05.23\00:36:07.16
and stay in another village.
00:36:07.20\00:36:08.90
So there's a lot of
brokenness in my heart and pain.
00:36:08.93\00:36:13.00
And in the evangelist series
00:36:13.03\00:36:15.94
and they shared
about the love of God
00:36:15.97\00:36:18.97
and specifically
the love of the Father,
00:36:19.01\00:36:23.48
which is, I don't
want to believe it,
00:36:23.51\00:36:25.68
but that's what the Bible said.
00:36:25.71\00:36:27.28
And the word is
coming, telling me that
00:36:27.32\00:36:29.98
the love of the
Father, I really do love you.
00:36:30.02\00:36:33.22
I was really
felt, I was rejected.
00:36:33.25\00:36:35.16
I was not wanted.
00:36:35.19\00:36:36.52
I was shaking when he called,
00:36:36.56\00:36:38.43
if you want to be
baptized, I was 16 years old.
00:36:38.46\00:36:41.10
I was shaking and I thought,
Lord is keep on telling me that
00:36:41.13\00:36:46.13
I love you no matter what.
00:36:46.17\00:36:47.50
Wow.
00:36:47.54\00:36:48.87
So that's when I
become a Christian.
00:36:48.90\00:36:50.24
And then, yeah,
00:36:50.27\00:36:51.61
after I finished my high school,
00:36:51.64\00:36:53.74
then I went to
the jungle war zone.
00:36:53.78\00:36:55.94
I prayed very hard that
00:36:55.98\00:36:57.65
the Lord will send me to
the place where needed most.
00:36:57.68\00:37:00.68
And it was with the ministry.
00:37:00.72\00:37:02.15
I don't know if you heard
about Leading to the Light.
00:37:02.18\00:37:06.32
Okay. Yeah. It's a ministry.
00:37:06.35\00:37:09.12
And I was there
00:37:09.16\00:37:10.99
and we drove for
three hours with a car
00:37:11.03\00:37:15.60
and then six to
seven hours on boat.
00:37:15.63\00:37:18.07
It was a remote place.
00:37:18.10\00:37:20.07
And then we slept
off the whole night
00:37:20.10\00:37:21.60
and the morning
they woke me up at 3,
00:37:21.64\00:37:23.51
we ate breakfast at
3:30, something like that.
00:37:23.54\00:37:26.41
I know it's not
really happy. Yeah.
00:37:26.44\00:37:28.94
But we started our journey
at 4 early in the morning.
00:37:28.98\00:37:33.52
No car, just walking.
00:37:33.55\00:37:35.25
And I walk and walk and
walk and walk and walk and walk
00:37:35.28\00:37:37.45
and walk and walk until
9:30 at night up to the place.
00:37:37.49\00:37:42.39
So the whole day
it's around 16 hours walk.
00:37:42.42\00:37:45.89
And my leg was
painful for the whole week
00:37:45.93\00:37:48.60
because this is my first time.
00:37:48.63\00:37:49.96
Yeah.
00:37:50.00\00:37:51.33
And that's where
actually I heard about Hartland.
00:37:51.37\00:37:53.47
The war broke out.
00:37:53.50\00:37:54.84
Our school nearly
need to run from the war.
00:37:54.87\00:37:56.94
Yeah.
00:37:56.97\00:37:58.31
I need to sleep
with one ears open
00:37:58.34\00:38:00.18
because many nights in
the middle of the night,
00:38:00.21\00:38:02.14
you can hear boom!
00:38:02.18\00:38:03.78
The bombs?
00:38:03.81\00:38:05.15
Yeah, just right
beside our school.
00:38:05.18\00:38:07.85
So I need to get my citizenship.
00:38:07.88\00:38:12.25
So then I can get my passport
so that I can come to Hartland
00:38:12.29\00:38:15.62
after I look or
read the catalog.
00:38:15.66\00:38:18.93
But it was a really risky,
00:38:18.96\00:38:20.40
we need to cross
the enemy's road,
00:38:20.43\00:38:22.53
the Burmese soldiers road.
00:38:22.56\00:38:24.53
And we crossed in the nighttime.
00:38:24.57\00:38:27.77
No light, silent.
00:38:27.80\00:38:31.37
You just follow each
person's steps carefully
00:38:31.41\00:38:34.94
because we had no
idea where the bomb is.
00:38:34.98\00:38:37.21
Yeah, like landmines and stuff?
00:38:37.25\00:38:38.65
That's right.
Yeah. That's right.
00:38:38.68\00:38:40.38
Wow. That's scary. Yeah, it is.
00:38:40.42\00:38:42.38
But it just
remind me as a Christian,
00:38:42.42\00:38:44.35
if we really follow
Jesus' step, every step
00:38:44.39\00:38:49.56
that can lead us to the safety.
00:38:49.59\00:38:51.46
So, and then, yeah,
right after we crossed the road
00:38:51.49\00:38:55.70
and I felt like all
the burdens are gone.
00:38:55.73\00:38:59.30
Amen.
00:38:59.33\00:39:00.67
And that's when
I came to Hartland.
00:39:00.70\00:39:02.24
So you came to
Hartland right after that?
00:39:02.27\00:39:05.24
That's at the end
of the school year.
00:39:05.27\00:39:08.21
Okay. Wow.
00:39:08.24\00:39:09.94
And you're in your third
year? This is my third year.
00:39:09.98\00:39:12.35
But you can tell them clearly
that it was a hard time for him
00:39:12.38\00:39:15.65
when he arrived to Hartland,
00:39:15.68\00:39:17.19
because he got to get
accustomed to use bathroom.
00:39:17.22\00:39:19.82
He got to get
sleep in a soft bed.
00:39:19.85\00:39:22.02
It was hard for him
00:39:22.06\00:39:23.39
because they were
sleeping on the floor.
00:39:23.43\00:39:24.93
There were many things
that were difficult for him.
00:39:24.96\00:39:26.93
Yeah. But you survived, right?
00:39:26.96\00:39:29.63
Yes, I did.
That's a big adjustment.
00:39:29.66\00:39:31.70
Yeah. That's a
huge adjustment. Yes.
00:39:31.73\00:39:34.84
What an amazing story
00:39:34.87\00:39:36.20
of how God reached out.
00:39:36.24\00:39:41.14
And found you, loved
you, brought you to Himself,
00:39:41.18\00:39:44.61
brought you to Hartland.
00:39:44.65\00:39:45.98
That's amazing.
00:39:46.01\00:39:47.35
So Dr. Karl and Ivonne,
00:39:47.38\00:39:49.25
how can students like
Klay even come to Hartland?
00:39:49.28\00:39:52.42
How can, you know,
00:39:52.45\00:39:54.06
he probably wouldn't have
the funds to go to Hartland.
00:39:54.09\00:39:56.66
So how does that take place?
00:39:56.69\00:39:58.56
Well, that takes place
00:39:58.59\00:39:59.93
through the
missionary training fund.
00:39:59.96\00:40:02.03
So what we want, and
this is a joint support.
00:40:02.06\00:40:06.23
It's not only
about Hartland staff,
00:40:06.27\00:40:07.84
but everybody who
donates to Hartland
00:40:07.87\00:40:10.97
becomes part of Hartland
00:40:11.01\00:40:12.47
because we wouldn't be
able to do it by ourselves.
00:40:12.51\00:40:14.74
We have donors
00:40:14.78\00:40:16.14
that donate for the
missionary training fund,
00:40:16.18\00:40:18.25
like in Klay's case.
00:40:18.28\00:40:19.78
So the idea is that
they study at Hartland
00:40:19.81\00:40:23.22
and they also have to work,
okay, to help pay his bill.
00:40:23.25\00:40:26.89
And it's part of
the educational program.
00:40:26.92\00:40:29.99
But once he finishes, the
idea is he goes debt-free.
00:40:30.03\00:40:34.00
So Hartland is a place
that when they are accepted
00:40:34.03\00:40:37.00
by the missionary training fund,
00:40:37.03\00:40:38.90
they leave debt-free.
00:40:38.93\00:40:40.54
So they can go with
no burden estimation.
00:40:40.57\00:40:43.10
So every money
comes to Klay's hands now
00:40:43.14\00:40:47.58
is to enhance the
work he's gonna do.
00:40:47.61\00:40:50.55
Actually, Klay's gonna
go back again to the jungle.
00:40:50.58\00:40:53.95
Oh, wow.
00:40:53.98\00:40:55.32
To support that so
maybe Klay can speak
00:40:55.35\00:40:57.05
a little bit
about his plans now.
00:40:57.09\00:40:59.52
That's right.
00:40:59.55\00:41:01.02
So we are trying to develop
00:41:01.06\00:41:03.02
a good
curriculum for the school.
00:41:03.06\00:41:04.96
And then I was so
stressed out two months ago
00:41:04.99\00:41:09.70
because of the war broke
out and the connection was cut.
00:41:09.73\00:41:14.34
I wasn't able to connect
my friends in the jungle,
00:41:14.37\00:41:17.61
but two weeks ago,
00:41:17.64\00:41:18.97
they told me that
by the grace of God,
00:41:19.01\00:41:20.84
the school can
continue another year.
00:41:20.88\00:41:23.01
I was jump up and down. Yeah.
00:41:23.04\00:41:25.98
Praise the Lord, it's a miracle.
00:41:26.01\00:41:27.72
So it is my plan to go back
and share the message of God
00:41:27.75\00:41:32.49
in a way that Hartland train me.
00:41:32.52\00:41:34.92
So give them a better education
for the unprivileged students
00:41:34.96\00:41:39.29
back in the jungle.
00:41:39.33\00:41:40.66
Wow.
00:41:40.70\00:41:42.03
So this is actually
what people support.
00:41:42.06\00:41:44.43
And we have high
percentage of students
00:41:44.47\00:41:47.90
coming from the overseas,
00:41:47.94\00:41:49.74
coming from
Africa, coming from Asia,
00:41:49.77\00:41:52.21
coming from Latin America,
00:41:52.24\00:41:54.04
coming from different
parts so they can be trained.
00:41:54.08\00:41:57.08
They can go and this
is one of the strength
00:41:57.11\00:42:01.85
I believe Hartland has.
00:42:01.88\00:42:03.39
And we see the
Lord working through all
00:42:03.42\00:42:06.39
these different
ways to help them.
00:42:06.42\00:42:08.46
For me, every time a
student like Klay comes,
00:42:08.49\00:42:11.36
it's just amazing to see
how he was in the jungle.
00:42:11.39\00:42:14.66
He have to walk 16 hours
00:42:14.70\00:42:16.63
if he wanted to
get onions or garlic.
00:42:16.67\00:42:20.80
And there, somebody
tells him about Hartland
00:42:20.84\00:42:25.17
and he applies.
00:42:25.21\00:42:27.98
And when he comes, we
say the Lord brought you.
00:42:28.01\00:42:31.05
So that's the way
we see the students.
00:42:31.08\00:42:33.11
When the students
arrive at Hartland,
00:42:33.15\00:42:34.78
we see them as Godsent.
00:42:34.82\00:42:36.58
Amen. Wow.
00:42:36.62\00:42:38.69
Praise the Lord
for those donors,
00:42:38.72\00:42:40.32
you know, stepped
up through the years,
00:42:40.36\00:42:41.82
you know, the new ones
00:42:41.86\00:42:43.19
and those that
continue to donate
00:42:43.22\00:42:44.59
to Hartland
Institute, to Hartland College,
00:42:44.63\00:42:46.33
to make it possible for
people such as you, Klay.
00:42:46.36\00:42:48.53
It's powerful, you know,
and God has His hand on you
00:42:48.56\00:42:50.47
and you know it, you know it,
00:42:50.50\00:42:51.83
and you're gonna do
mighty things for Him
00:42:51.87\00:42:53.20
and are doing mighty
things for Him right now.
00:42:53.23\00:42:54.87
Amen. Praise the Lord. Amen.
00:42:54.90\00:42:56.24
We have a video, right? Yeah.
00:42:56.27\00:42:57.94
About the
missionary training school?
00:42:57.97\00:42:59.31
So let's go to that right now.
00:42:59.34\00:43:02.24

Hello, friends.
00:44:13.95\00:44:15.28
My name is Pastor Chris Holland.
00:44:15.32\00:44:16.69
I am the senior
evangelist for the Hope Channel,
00:44:16.72\00:44:19.75
along with the president elect
00:44:19.79\00:44:22.02
of the Living Hope
School of Evangelism.
00:44:22.06\00:44:24.79
I want to invite you
to a special opportunity,
00:44:24.83\00:44:27.86
and that is to be a part
00:44:27.90\00:44:29.23
of the Hartland
Missionary School.
00:44:29.26\00:44:32.27
I'll be teaching
homiletics. How do you preach?
00:44:32.30\00:44:35.34
How do you deliver a sermon?
How do you prepare yourself?
00:44:35.37\00:44:38.71
Don't miss out
on this opportunity
00:44:38.74\00:44:40.98
of a lifetime to be
a tool for God to use
00:44:41.01\00:44:44.78
in finishing His
work in this generation.
00:44:44.81\00:44:48.05
This is going to
be a very practical
00:44:48.08\00:44:50.35
and hands-on Bible
and evangelistic training.
00:44:50.39\00:44:53.86
Have a life transforming
experience this summer
00:44:53.89\00:44:56.59
by enrolling the Hartland
Missionary Training School.
00:44:56.62\00:44:59.43
Visit our web
page and enroll now.
00:44:59.46\00:45:01.76
Amen. What an exciting program.
00:45:08.97\00:45:12.11
When I pitched
to it to the roll,
00:45:12.14\00:45:13.84
for some reason, I
thought we were talking
00:45:13.88\00:45:15.34
about the
missionary training fund,
00:45:15.38\00:45:17.51
but we will give you
contact information for Hartland
00:45:17.55\00:45:20.25
in just a few moments,
00:45:20.28\00:45:21.62
and you can support
students just like Klay.
00:45:21.65\00:45:25.09
But what we just
saw about the summer
00:45:25.12\00:45:26.86
missionary program is exciting.
00:45:26.89\00:45:29.39
So, Dr. Karl, I
don't know if you want
00:45:29.42\00:45:30.76
to talk some more about it.
00:45:30.79\00:45:32.13
Yes, this is a really
exciting and unique opportunity
00:45:32.16\00:45:34.43
and it serves several purposes.
00:45:34.46\00:45:36.16
It's actually the introduction
to our new core curriculum.
00:45:36.20\00:45:39.57
So every single student,
no matter what their major is,
00:45:39.60\00:45:42.30
will have to go through
00:45:42.34\00:45:43.67
this Hartland
Missionary Training School.
00:45:43.71\00:45:45.04
And you just got a
taste of some of the speakers,
00:45:45.07\00:45:47.41
some of the subjects
that we'll be covering.
00:45:47.44\00:45:49.51
And it also
provides training for people
00:45:49.54\00:45:52.01
that are overseas,
00:45:52.05\00:45:53.42
that are really
wanting to seek the Lord
00:45:53.45\00:45:55.35
to be able to
better share their faith.
00:45:55.38\00:45:58.42
That can't really afford
to come to a training school
00:45:58.45\00:46:00.76
either in their own
country or overseas.
00:46:00.79\00:46:03.53
And so this Hartland
Training Missionary School
00:46:03.56\00:46:05.83
will be videotaped.
00:46:05.86\00:46:07.46
And then we
will be offering that
00:46:07.50\00:46:09.73
as a service to those
00:46:09.76\00:46:11.37
that would like
to be better trained
00:46:11.40\00:46:13.23
that are overseas.
00:46:13.27\00:46:14.60
And that the subjects
are going to be geared
00:46:14.64\00:46:16.24
toward practical ends,
00:46:16.27\00:46:17.61
even subjects like introduction
to Daniel, Revelation,
00:46:17.64\00:46:20.28
which of course
will spark a revival
00:46:20.31\00:46:22.84
in each and every one of us.
00:46:22.88\00:46:24.21
But the subjects
are geared really toward
00:46:24.25\00:46:25.81
practical ends, as we
think about the purpose of it.
00:46:25.85\00:46:28.18
And it's really an exciting
way for a freshman to start
00:46:28.22\00:46:32.99
being oriented and
realizing that mission
00:46:33.02\00:46:38.09
and evangelism and the beauty
00:46:38.13\00:46:39.79
of our message
are really important.
00:46:39.83\00:46:41.36
So it's an exciting aspect.
00:46:41.40\00:46:43.47
Amen, that's
really, really exciting.
00:46:43.50\00:46:45.47
So tell me then about the dates.
00:46:45.50\00:46:46.94
We saw the dates
come up in the video,
00:46:46.97\00:46:48.44
but this is gonna
happen every summer, right?
00:46:48.47\00:46:49.90
The summer of
2021 or going 2022.
00:46:49.94\00:46:53.17
Yes, every summer.
00:46:53.21\00:46:54.54
This is actually
the welcome program
00:46:54.58\00:46:56.18
for every freshmen.
00:46:56.21\00:46:58.25
And also we believe in
the total member involvement
00:46:58.28\00:47:01.45
where we can help church members
00:47:01.48\00:47:03.12
around the institution
00:47:03.15\00:47:04.49
or people who comes
00:47:04.52\00:47:05.85
from different
parts of the United States
00:47:05.89\00:47:07.32
to be with us
for these two months,
00:47:07.36\00:47:09.59
every summer, so
they can be trained.
00:47:09.62\00:47:11.56
So we open up for these people,
00:47:11.59\00:47:13.33
get trained and go
back to their churches
00:47:13.36\00:47:15.40
to be a support
in evangelism to be,
00:47:15.43\00:47:18.73
to get to know
about their life calling,
00:47:18.77\00:47:21.70
to renew their love for Jesus,
00:47:21.74\00:47:23.81
to really be strong
in their devotional life.
00:47:23.84\00:47:27.28
I mean, this is the
purpose of all this training.
00:47:27.31\00:47:29.31
So this is what's going
on every summer at Hartland.
00:47:29.34\00:47:32.75
So is there a limit
then on who can come
00:47:32.78\00:47:35.08
then as far as
the number of people,
00:47:35.12\00:47:36.52
'cause I know you're gonna
do the videos and people can,
00:47:36.55\00:47:37.99
you know view those
later, but are there limit?
00:47:38.02\00:47:40.82
It's gonna be first
come first serve basis.
00:47:40.86\00:47:42.62
But right now
there's a lot of space.
00:47:42.66\00:47:44.76
And we envisioned that
this capacity will be there
00:47:44.79\00:47:48.16
to handle those
who want to apply.
00:47:48.20\00:47:50.80
So, and then as
you are hinting too,
00:47:50.83\00:47:53.03
there will be an
online offering as well
00:47:53.07\00:47:57.01
that will be present for
those who cannot come in person.
00:47:57.04\00:48:00.28
Hmm. Amen.
00:48:00.31\00:48:01.78
We talked about a
lot of things here today
00:48:01.81\00:48:03.81
and time is kind of against us.
00:48:03.85\00:48:06.01
So we're going to be giving,
as Jill mentioned earlier
00:48:06.05\00:48:08.28
an address roll
that we're gonna go to,
00:48:08.32\00:48:09.68
that'll give the
contact information
00:48:09.72\00:48:11.12
that you can ask about
attending as a student.
00:48:11.15\00:48:12.89
Let's say Hartland, they talked
about the wellness center,
00:48:12.92\00:48:15.46
talked about
this summer training,
00:48:15.49\00:48:17.03
which is just fantastic.
00:48:17.06\00:48:18.43
Now several months
long, that's not too long,
00:48:18.46\00:48:20.30
you know, so most
people can kind of carve that
00:48:20.33\00:48:21.90
out of their maybe
their busy schedule,
00:48:21.93\00:48:23.33
so a lot of things.
00:48:23.37\00:48:24.70
We'll be going to that
in just a couple of minutes.
00:48:24.73\00:48:26.07
So make sure you
have a pen and paper,
00:48:26.10\00:48:27.57
or maybe your digital device
00:48:27.60\00:48:29.80
to take down the
contact information
00:48:29.84\00:48:31.51
for Hartland
College or Institute.
00:48:31.54\00:48:33.01
Absolutely.
00:48:33.04\00:48:34.38
I'm just thinking we
just have a short while left.
00:48:34.41\00:48:36.14
Tell us about some of
the vision for the future.
00:48:36.18\00:48:39.55
I know that, of course,
00:48:39.58\00:48:41.98
one of the vision would be
this summer missionary training
00:48:42.02\00:48:44.99
that you're just implementing
and the core curriculum.
00:48:45.02\00:48:47.36
Anything else that you
want to add beyond that?
00:48:47.39\00:48:49.69
I want to emphasize once again
00:48:49.72\00:48:52.09
this new emphasis of training
00:48:52.13\00:48:55.06
21st century
professional missionaries.
00:48:55.10\00:48:57.83
We want to
educate modern Waldensians
00:48:57.87\00:49:01.20
that they can
go into the market.
00:49:01.24\00:49:03.41
They can go into
the public arena,
00:49:03.44\00:49:05.74
equipped with a knowledge
of the Adventist message,
00:49:05.77\00:49:08.94
equipped with tools
to be able to reach souls
00:49:08.98\00:49:11.91
in different cultures
and in different settings
00:49:11.95\00:49:14.82
in our society.
00:49:14.85\00:49:16.18
And also with a
career that will enable them
00:49:16.22\00:49:19.15
to perform and make a living,
00:49:19.19\00:49:21.86
but never
losing that perspective
00:49:21.89\00:49:24.09
that we are here
is to save souls,
00:49:24.13\00:49:27.10
to fulfill the Great Commission.
00:49:27.13\00:49:28.70
So it's on that premise
00:49:28.73\00:49:30.07
that we're making
our strategic plans
00:49:30.10\00:49:31.63
for Hartland for the
next five, ten years,
00:49:31.67\00:49:33.54
as long as the Lord
wants us to be here,
00:49:33.57\00:49:35.70
because we know that
He is coming very soon.
00:49:35.74\00:49:38.04
Amen. Klay, I
want to come to you.
00:49:38.07\00:49:40.84
What I want you to
talk to someone at home,
00:49:40.88\00:49:43.24
someone who might be wondering,
00:49:43.28\00:49:45.35
is Hartland the school for me?
00:49:45.38\00:49:46.92
Should I go to
Hartland? I'm not sure.
00:49:46.95\00:49:50.05
What would you tell them?
00:49:50.09\00:49:51.92
Definitely, this
is a place for you,
00:49:51.95\00:49:54.99
personally, it's a place for me
00:49:55.02\00:49:57.39
because I was really broken
00:49:57.43\00:49:59.66
and through the
Christian marriage class,
00:49:59.69\00:50:02.43
it's all for at Hartland.
00:50:02.46\00:50:03.80
It was not only intellectually
wisdom and knowledge,
00:50:03.83\00:50:07.20
it's really
personally helping me
00:50:07.24\00:50:09.34
to understand my past,
00:50:09.37\00:50:11.21
helping me to realize
that how much I need Jesus,
00:50:11.24\00:50:14.24
like a class, a
righteousness by faith,
00:50:14.28\00:50:17.35
helping me, how
much I needed Jesus
00:50:17.38\00:50:20.12
that may improve
with my broken hearted.
00:50:20.15\00:50:22.65
So it's a blessing
for me, definitely.
00:50:22.68\00:50:26.15
And I'm just so grateful
00:50:26.19\00:50:28.36
that the Lord
brought me to Hartland.
00:50:28.39\00:50:30.13
Amen.
00:50:30.16\00:50:31.49
Dr. Karl, that was
the student's perspective,
00:50:31.53\00:50:33.13
but you're of course,
00:50:33.16\00:50:34.50
chair of the
religion department.
00:50:34.53\00:50:35.86
What has Hartland done for
you personally being there?
00:50:35.90\00:50:39.07
It has given me an opportunity
to kind of stretch my wings
00:50:39.10\00:50:42.40
and think about how
I can craft a program
00:50:42.44\00:50:45.47
that will build
upon the solid teaching
00:50:45.51\00:50:47.94
that Hartland
has done in the past.
00:50:47.98\00:50:49.68
You know, our church
began with the discovery
00:50:49.71\00:50:51.78
that Jesus has entered
into the Most Holy Place,
00:50:51.81\00:50:54.28
and that is
introduced a new system of truth
00:50:54.32\00:50:57.09
connected and harmonious.
00:50:57.12\00:50:58.45
And so that is a vision for me.
00:50:58.49\00:51:01.29
That is the
aspect that the Lord uses
00:51:01.32\00:51:04.63
in order to connect
everyone to Himself.
00:51:04.66\00:51:06.76
And so, that being with Klay
00:51:06.80\00:51:10.80
and other students
00:51:10.83\00:51:12.20
especially
international students,
00:51:12.23\00:51:13.67
that's really a highlight
of really teaching at Hartland.
00:51:13.70\00:51:16.17
Amen.
00:51:16.20\00:51:17.54
