Hello friends,
welcome to 3ABN Today.
00:01:15.14\00:01:17.27
My name is John Lomacang,
00:01:17.31\00:01:18.64
and I have my lovely
wife with me, Angela.
00:01:18.67\00:01:21.01
I'm so happy to be here.
00:01:21.04\00:01:22.44
I'm so glad that
you've joined us today.
00:01:22.48\00:01:25.11
You are going to be blessed
00:01:25.15\00:01:26.82
and my outfit is
kind of like a clue
00:01:26.85\00:01:30.29
for what's
going to happen today.
00:01:30.32\00:01:31.85
Okay.
00:01:31.89\00:01:33.22
That's a good way
to segue into that.
00:01:33.25\00:01:34.72
We have a very
informative program,
00:01:34.76\00:01:36.79
very inspiring,
00:01:36.83\00:01:38.79
also very
forward-looking and innovative.
00:01:38.83\00:01:42.16
For those of you that think that
00:01:42.20\00:01:43.60
everything that can be
created already has been,
00:01:43.63\00:01:46.53
you need to watch this program.
00:01:46.57\00:01:47.90
There are more things
that the Lord is doing.
00:01:47.94\00:01:50.11
And our guest
today is going to show
00:01:50.14\00:01:52.01
and share on how
God is using them,
00:01:52.04\00:01:55.24
not only to create
things that are a blessing,
00:01:55.28\00:01:58.65
but how lives are being impacted
00:01:58.68\00:02:01.28
on a ministry level,
00:02:01.32\00:02:02.95
in very
interesting parts of the world.
00:02:02.98\00:02:05.99
And so I'm kind of
being very vague, am I not?
00:02:06.02\00:02:08.22
Yeah. A little too vague.
00:02:08.26\00:02:09.62
A little too vague.
Well, let's just go ahead.
00:02:09.66\00:02:10.99
Before we go to our music,
00:02:11.03\00:02:12.36
let's go ahead and
introduce our guests
00:02:12.39\00:02:13.73
and just give
them like a one minute.
00:02:13.76\00:02:15.10
And Josh Draget, good
to have you here, Josh.
00:02:15.13\00:02:18.13
Thank you. Good to be here. Yes.
00:02:18.17\00:02:19.73
In a nutshell, tell
us where you're from
00:02:19.77\00:02:21.54
and kind of what
you do right now?
00:02:21.57\00:02:22.90
We'll get all the details later.
00:02:22.94\00:02:24.64
All right. So I'm from Kansas.
00:02:24.67\00:02:27.34
But I go to school at
Southern Adventist University
00:02:27.38\00:02:30.68
in Tennessee,
00:02:30.71\00:02:32.05
and I'm currently
studying business over there.
00:02:32.08\00:02:34.52
And so,
00:02:34.55\00:02:36.15
I decided that I wanted
to be a student missionary.
00:02:36.18\00:02:39.19
And so,
00:02:39.22\00:02:40.56
I was looking at
the different options
00:02:40.59\00:02:41.96
and I realized that Zambia
00:02:41.99\00:02:43.99
had a need for someone
to do a business internship
00:02:44.03\00:02:47.66
and also to be a missionary
to the people over there.
00:02:47.70\00:02:51.17
Okay, great.
00:02:51.20\00:02:52.53
And you also a
preacher's kid too.
00:02:52.57\00:02:54.80
That's correct. Yes.
00:02:54.84\00:02:56.74
And, yeah.
00:02:56.77\00:02:58.11
So you were probably,
00:02:58.14\00:03:00.38
well, you probably
moved quite a bit as a child?
00:03:00.41\00:03:02.51
Yeah.
00:03:02.54\00:03:03.88
A couple of times,
00:03:03.91\00:03:05.25
born in Illinois and
then we moved to Kansas
00:03:05.28\00:03:07.52
where my dad is
currently pastoring in Wichita.
00:03:07.55\00:03:10.12
Okay.
00:03:10.15\00:03:11.49
You were also
involved with GYC, correct?
00:03:11.52\00:03:14.46
Yes.
00:03:14.49\00:03:15.82
During my time at Southern,
00:03:15.86\00:03:17.19
I had
involvements at GYC Southeast
00:03:17.23\00:03:19.63
or just an affiliate
00:03:19.66\00:03:21.00
of a Generation
of Youth for Christ
00:03:21.03\00:03:23.20
which is a worldwide
movement of young people
00:03:23.23\00:03:25.97
who we want Christ to
come in our generation.
00:03:26.00\00:03:29.27
Amen. Wow. Amen.
00:03:29.30\00:03:31.21
And right across,
we have Ashley Blake.
00:03:31.24\00:03:33.68
Good to have you here, Ashley.
00:03:33.71\00:03:35.04
Yeah. Good to be here. Yes.
00:03:35.08\00:03:36.41
Give us an
overall of who you are
00:03:36.44\00:03:37.78
and what do you do?
00:03:37.81\00:03:39.15
Yeah.
00:03:39.18\00:03:40.52
So I am currently
studying accounting,
00:03:40.55\00:03:42.75
Southern Adventist University.
00:03:42.78\00:03:45.19
I'm from
Asheville, North Carolina,
00:03:45.22\00:03:47.76
and I am planning to
be a student missionary
00:03:47.79\00:03:50.99
in Zambia
00:03:51.03\00:03:52.36
where Josh is at, he's seen, so.
00:03:52.39\00:03:54.96
Okay, good to
have you here today.
00:03:55.00\00:03:56.83
And, Michelle,
who is a veteran here.
00:03:56.87\00:03:58.93
Michelle has been here before.
00:03:58.97\00:04:00.64
Docoumes, am I
saying that correctly?
00:04:00.67\00:04:02.10
Correct.
00:04:02.14\00:04:03.47
Kind of tell our
viewers and listeners
00:04:03.51\00:04:05.04
a little bit about you?
00:04:05.07\00:04:06.41
Sure.
00:04:06.44\00:04:07.78
So, I teach business
00:04:07.81\00:04:09.14
at Southern
Adventist University.
00:04:09.18\00:04:10.75
So that's how I
know Ashley and Josh.
00:04:10.78\00:04:13.52
And so, I get to teach
personal finance classes there,
00:04:13.55\00:04:16.58
project management there.
00:04:16.62\00:04:18.39
And then I get to
oversee our Enactus program,
00:04:18.42\00:04:21.72
which is basically
we have a local chapter
00:04:21.76\00:04:24.06
of an International Organization
00:04:24.09\00:04:25.89
for Social Entrepreneurship.
00:04:25.93\00:04:27.96
And so we are using
business to try to impact lives
00:04:28.00\00:04:32.17
and communities
00:04:32.20\00:04:33.67
and also share, share our faith,
00:04:33.70\00:04:36.30
share the love of Jesus.
00:04:36.34\00:04:37.67
Okay.
00:04:37.71\00:04:39.04
We'll find out what
that all means in specifics
00:04:39.07\00:04:40.91
in just a moment,
00:04:40.94\00:04:42.41
but, honey, we have
some music, don't we?
00:04:42.44\00:04:44.25
Yes, we do.
00:04:44.28\00:04:45.61
We have Mary Grace,
00:04:45.65\00:04:46.98
who's going to share
00:04:47.02\00:04:48.35
a beautiful rendition
of People Need the Lord.
00:04:48.38\00:04:52.29
Thank you so much, Mary.
00:08:24.03\00:08:25.53
That's a wonderful
segue into the program.
00:08:25.57\00:08:27.34
Yes, people need
the Lord, don't we?
00:08:27.37\00:08:28.74
That's right.
00:08:28.77\00:08:30.11
And as long as that
song has been around,
00:08:30.14\00:08:31.47
it never loses its relevance
00:08:31.51\00:08:33.17
and the reality that
people every day need the Lord.
00:08:33.21\00:08:36.38
And that's why this
program is so relevant.
00:08:36.41\00:08:38.55
I want to begin with Josh.
00:08:38.58\00:08:40.82
Josh, you have...
00:08:40.85\00:08:43.45
The Lord has put a
calling on your life.
00:08:43.49\00:08:47.19
I could summarize it that way.
00:08:47.22\00:08:49.19
And I want to go ahead
and just dive into your life
00:08:49.22\00:08:51.39
and kind of ask you,
00:08:51.43\00:08:52.79
give us an overview of
00:08:52.83\00:08:55.06
how the Lord impacted your life
00:08:55.10\00:08:57.07
in the program that
you're working on now?
00:08:57.10\00:08:59.53
All right.
00:08:59.57\00:09:00.90
So I came to Zambia
in September of 2019
00:09:00.94\00:09:04.47
as a student missionary.
00:09:04.51\00:09:06.07
And I wasn't exactly sure
00:09:06.11\00:09:08.74
all the things that I
would be doing over there.
00:09:08.78\00:09:11.18
But I knew that I
would be going there
00:09:11.21\00:09:12.58
for a business internship
00:09:12.61\00:09:14.02
as well as to
build one day churches.
00:09:14.05\00:09:17.19
And so,
00:09:17.22\00:09:18.59
when I got to Zambia,
00:09:18.62\00:09:19.95
I started building
these one day churches
00:09:19.99\00:09:22.82
with Alan and Pauline Knowles
00:09:22.86\00:09:25.09
and a group of
students from over there.
00:09:25.13\00:09:27.73
And we were traveling
00:09:27.76\00:09:29.10
to Western
province, Eastern province,
00:09:29.13\00:09:30.87
all throughout Zambia
00:09:30.90\00:09:32.83
providing these
structures for people
00:09:32.87\00:09:34.54
to have a shelter for the
sun, from the sun and the rain.
00:09:34.57\00:09:38.41
And that was a very
impactful experience.
00:09:38.44\00:09:42.78
And so there was one time
00:09:42.81\00:09:44.31
when we were going
to Western province
00:09:44.35\00:09:46.61
and the people
there needed a church.
00:09:46.65\00:09:49.78
So we took the
building materials
00:09:49.82\00:09:51.82
and then we came
to the Zambezi River
00:09:51.85\00:09:54.79
and they told us,
00:09:54.82\00:09:56.16
I just put the
church on these canoes
00:09:56.19\00:09:57.73
and it'll be just a
quick 10, 20 minute...
00:09:57.76\00:10:00.76
Is that a picture of
it? Right there, yes.
00:10:00.80\00:10:03.13
And so they said, it'd just be
a quick trip across the river.
00:10:03.16\00:10:06.17
But what turned out to be
actually a three hour trip
00:10:06.20\00:10:09.60
down the river.
00:10:09.64\00:10:10.97
We're sitting there on top
of those building materials
00:10:11.01\00:10:14.38
and we got to the other side,
00:10:14.41\00:10:15.74
we actually loaded the
church onto some oxcarts,
00:10:15.78\00:10:18.98
which you also see
there on the screen.
00:10:19.01\00:10:20.55
Oh, you loaded the church.
00:10:20.58\00:10:23.18
We loaded the
church, the scaffolding,
00:10:23.22\00:10:25.25
all the equipment,
00:10:25.29\00:10:26.62
and brought it for
another hour to the village
00:10:26.65\00:10:28.89
where we were able to build it.
00:10:28.92\00:10:30.69
And the people
there were very grateful
00:10:30.73\00:10:32.43
and they were praising God.
00:10:32.46\00:10:34.16
And one of the songs
that they were singing was
00:10:34.20\00:10:36.56
had the words Akuna Sesipala,
00:10:36.60\00:10:39.13
and these words,
meaning nothing is impossible.
00:10:39.17\00:10:42.47
And we know that
the Bible says with God,
00:10:42.50\00:10:45.37
nothing is impossible.
00:10:45.41\00:10:46.78
And you want to sing
00:10:46.81\00:10:48.14
some of those bars for us today,
00:10:48.18\00:10:49.58
not putting you on the spot,
00:10:49.61\00:10:51.15
but just kind of give us an idea
00:10:51.18\00:10:52.51
what it sounds like?
00:10:52.55\00:10:53.88
So it goes, Akuna
Sesipala, Akuna Sesipala,
00:10:53.92\00:11:00.42
and they sing Akuna Limu Yesu,
00:11:00.46\00:11:02.92
meaning with Jesus
nothing is impossible.
00:11:02.96\00:11:05.93
Akuna Sesipala.
00:11:05.96\00:11:07.43
And then Akuna Limu
and Dante, with the father,
00:11:07.46\00:11:10.53
nothing is
impossible, Akuna Sesipala.
00:11:10.57\00:11:13.27
So we actually have a
short clip of that song,
00:11:13.30\00:11:17.01
which we'll be able to show
00:11:17.04\00:11:18.44
for the viewers to hear as well.
00:11:18.47\00:11:20.38
Okay. Beautiful.
00:11:44.33\00:11:45.97
So, after we built the church
and they were singing the song,
00:11:46.00\00:11:50.41
the Bible worker from Riverside,
00:11:50.44\00:11:51.84
Elder Will Luca
Miunda, who was with us.
00:11:51.87\00:11:54.84
He noticed that I liked the song
00:11:54.88\00:11:56.21
and I was singing
along with these people
00:11:56.24\00:11:58.41
whenever they would sing
it at the various churches.
00:11:58.45\00:12:00.98
So he said, I want to
give you a new Zambian name,
00:12:01.02\00:12:03.55
which is Akuna Sesipala.
00:12:03.59\00:12:06.29
And so he, he
would call me this name
00:12:06.32\00:12:09.06
and also
introduced me to the villagers
00:12:09.09\00:12:10.79
as Joshua Akuna Sesipala.
00:12:10.83\00:12:13.33
Wow.
00:12:13.36\00:12:14.70
And so this was
a meaningful for me
00:12:14.73\00:12:16.70
because with God,
nothing is impossible.
00:12:16.73\00:12:20.64
And so this idea,
this phrase stuck with me
00:12:20.67\00:12:24.27
and then over
the next few months,
00:12:24.31\00:12:26.14
that's when the
whole COVID crisis hit.
00:12:26.17\00:12:28.78
And so I was looking for
ways in my internship of,
00:12:28.81\00:12:31.28
you know, how can I add value
to some of the different things
00:12:31.31\00:12:34.85
that Riverside grows,
00:12:34.88\00:12:36.48
which it grows,
you know, bananas,
00:12:36.52\00:12:38.89
soy beans, as well as wheat.
00:12:38.92\00:12:41.22
So I was looking into
these different things
00:12:41.26\00:12:43.22
and then I stumbled across
a natural soap production.
00:12:43.26\00:12:47.20
And so that's essentially
00:12:47.23\00:12:48.73
what this
project turned out to be.
00:12:48.76\00:12:52.20
And over the course of time
and advice from some others,
00:12:52.23\00:12:55.70
we were able to make
this project happened
00:12:55.74\00:13:00.71
and call it Akuna Soap
Industry after that phrase,
00:13:00.74\00:13:04.78
which I had learned.
00:13:04.81\00:13:06.28
Akuna Sesipala.
00:13:06.31\00:13:08.62
So we have a
picture of the product line
00:13:08.65\00:13:10.75
that you have actually produced.
00:13:10.79\00:13:13.46
It's an amazing thing.
00:13:13.49\00:13:15.02
And we have some samples here.
00:13:15.06\00:13:16.89
This is just some of the...
00:13:16.93\00:13:18.26
How many, about how
many different types of soap?
00:13:18.29\00:13:20.66
So currently we
have 12 different types.
00:13:20.70\00:13:23.03
The eight you see there on
the screen are our soap bars
00:13:23.06\00:13:25.73
for the hands,
the body and the face.
00:13:25.77\00:13:27.90
And then we also have four bars
00:13:27.94\00:13:29.50
which are shampoo
00:13:29.54\00:13:31.04
and conditioner
bars for the hair.
00:13:31.07\00:13:33.84
And so we started
out with four products
00:13:33.88\00:13:35.94
and with plastic packaging,
00:13:35.98\00:13:37.35
and right now we've
moved into boxes as well.
00:13:37.38\00:13:39.91
But each of these soaps
00:13:39.95\00:13:41.28
has some amazing
health benefits for the body.
00:13:41.32\00:13:43.95
For example, things
that we wouldn't normally
00:13:43.99\00:13:45.89
think about like oats,
and honey, and moringa,
00:13:45.92\00:13:49.66
things that we
could even potentially eat
00:13:49.69\00:13:52.19
are also good for our skin.
00:13:52.23\00:13:54.60
So if I'm ever hungry, I
could have a soup bar to eat?
00:13:54.63\00:13:58.33
No, honey, no.
00:13:58.37\00:14:01.70
I'd have to extract that
from, but that is interesting.
00:14:01.74\00:14:03.91
When we saw this,
when we saw this soap bar,
00:14:03.94\00:14:06.81
we thought we cannot wait
for it to come to America.
00:14:06.84\00:14:11.21
It's not available
in America right now.
00:14:11.25\00:14:12.88
So don't blow up us email.
00:14:12.91\00:14:15.08
They're trying to order them.
00:14:15.12\00:14:16.45
But I tell you,
this is amazing in your,
00:14:16.48\00:14:18.22
and your
graphics design background
00:14:18.25\00:14:22.59
was instrumental
in designing these.
00:14:22.62\00:14:24.89
Bring up that
picture one more time of the,
00:14:24.93\00:14:27.20
it doesn't matter which
set of soap bars you have,
00:14:27.23\00:14:30.67
but his graphic ability
00:14:30.70\00:14:32.10
was able to be used
in putting this together.
00:14:32.13\00:14:36.00
And I need to go
right away and say Michelle,
00:14:36.04\00:14:39.21
because you're
teaching business,
00:14:39.24\00:14:41.38
I think to some degree
00:14:41.41\00:14:42.74
you've impacted
his frame of mind
00:14:42.78\00:14:45.68
to say, okay, how
could I put my business
00:14:45.71\00:14:48.15
education into
production over there?
00:14:48.18\00:14:51.32
Well, one of my dreams
00:14:51.35\00:14:52.85
is to have more
business student missionaries
00:14:52.89\00:14:55.62
because we have a lot
of student missionaries
00:14:55.66\00:14:57.29
that teach
English or do health work.
00:14:57.33\00:15:00.13
And I meet business students
00:15:00.16\00:15:01.50
who say, well,
I'm not going to go
00:15:01.53\00:15:02.93
be a student missionary
00:15:02.96\00:15:04.30
because I don't know
how I would use my skills.
00:15:04.33\00:15:07.47
And that's a shame to me
00:15:07.50\00:15:08.84
because I think that
business can do so much.
00:15:08.87\00:15:11.77
And so, there
was this opportunity
00:15:11.81\00:15:13.54
I found out from our
student missions director
00:15:13.58\00:15:15.84
in Riverside Farms in Zambia,
00:15:15.88\00:15:17.98
they were looking for a student
00:15:18.01\00:15:19.58
who was entrepreneurial
and a self-starter
00:15:19.61\00:15:21.85
and would actually get
a business going there.
00:15:21.88\00:15:25.19
And I didn't know who at first,
00:15:25.22\00:15:26.86
I remember just kind
of thinking about it,
00:15:26.89\00:15:28.62
filing it away,
praying about it.
00:15:28.66\00:15:30.99
And then Josh and I were
at a community service event
00:15:31.03\00:15:34.66
that GYC Southeast
00:15:34.70\00:15:36.16
and the business
society students did together.
00:15:36.20\00:15:39.10
And he was talking about
becoming a student missionary.
00:15:39.13\00:15:42.00
And I just felt like,
00:15:42.04\00:15:44.37
I think this
might be the person.
00:15:44.41\00:15:47.08
And so I planted that seed
00:15:47.11\00:15:49.34
and other people water that seed
00:15:49.38\00:15:51.01
and then Josh ended up going.
00:15:51.05\00:15:53.42
And so, it's so exciting to me
00:15:53.45\00:15:55.45
because you know, this
is business doing mission
00:15:55.48\00:16:00.79
and getting to
impact people's lives.
00:16:00.82\00:16:03.46
And that was super exciting.
00:16:03.49\00:16:05.36
And then we started,
00:16:05.39\00:16:06.73
we'll hear more later
about how we linked to this
00:16:06.76\00:16:08.56
with our Enactus program
for social entrepreneurship,
00:16:08.60\00:16:12.30
but just to have a model
00:16:12.33\00:16:13.87
for students to be able to
use business in powerful ways.
00:16:13.90\00:16:17.47
Beautiful.
00:16:17.51\00:16:18.84
And now,
Ashley, what is Enactus?
00:16:18.87\00:16:21.51
So Enactus is a
worldwide organization.
00:16:21.54\00:16:25.28
There are
chapters and universities
00:16:25.31\00:16:27.25
in over 35
countries, I want to say.
00:16:27.28\00:16:30.19
I believe there's over
72,000 students in the world
00:16:30.22\00:16:33.86
who are part of
this organization.
00:16:33.89\00:16:36.39
But we have a small chapter
Southern Adventist University.
00:16:36.42\00:16:40.33
And our mission is
to inspire innovation
00:16:40.36\00:16:45.23
to meet the needs of our
local and global communities
00:16:45.27\00:16:48.54
through Christ centered service.
00:16:48.57\00:16:50.54
So Enactus as a
whole is all about,
00:16:50.57\00:16:53.44
you know,
inspiring entrepreneurship
00:16:53.48\00:16:54.81
and college students.
00:16:54.84\00:16:56.24
But I really
liked that at Southern.
00:16:56.28\00:16:58.38
We kind of add that extra step
of the Christ centered service,
00:16:58.41\00:17:01.82
which is where I think
we connect so wonderfully
00:17:01.85\00:17:04.69
with sending the
student missionaries
00:17:04.72\00:17:06.15
over to Zambia
00:17:06.19\00:17:07.86
like what Josh did
and that type of thing.
00:17:07.89\00:17:10.53
Wow.
00:17:10.56\00:17:11.89
So, Michelle and Ashley,
00:17:11.93\00:17:13.26
how did they get merged together
00:17:13.29\00:17:14.63
Enactus as well as the...
00:17:14.66\00:17:16.33
Well, so I
switched over to Zambia
00:17:16.36\00:17:19.90
and I start seeing on Facebook
00:17:19.93\00:17:22.27
about this Akuna thing starting.
00:17:22.30\00:17:25.14
And so, we just started talking
00:17:25.17\00:17:27.38
and I remember talking on
I think Facebook messenger,
00:17:27.41\00:17:31.65
whatnot to say,
00:17:31.68\00:17:33.01
how could we help you?
00:17:33.05\00:17:34.68
How can we get this out there?
00:17:34.72\00:17:36.89
And then we're posting about it,
00:17:36.92\00:17:39.22
trying to get
more published about it
00:17:39.25\00:17:41.32
and talk to Ashley
about it and said, hey,
00:17:41.36\00:17:44.73
Ashley had also seen
this on social media.
00:17:44.76\00:17:47.16
And so we
started saying, you know,
00:17:47.20\00:17:49.16
this is really what
we're about as Enactus.
00:17:49.20\00:17:51.43
This is our own
students who are doing this.
00:17:51.47\00:17:54.24
And so, let's see
how we can work together.
00:17:54.27\00:17:58.57
And so we started
putting together a team
00:17:58.61\00:18:00.81
in our Enactus program
00:18:00.84\00:18:02.21
to help do
fundraising and research
00:18:02.24\00:18:05.18
and to kind of
support from the US side
00:18:05.21\00:18:07.55
then what Josh was
building over in Zambia.
00:18:07.58\00:18:10.32
Wow.
00:18:10.35\00:18:11.69
Now, Josh, why soap,
00:18:11.72\00:18:13.05
why did you see soap was a need?
00:18:13.09\00:18:16.59
Yeah, so as I was researching
00:18:16.62\00:18:19.06
and looking at
the different markets
00:18:19.09\00:18:20.83
in Zambia,
00:18:20.86\00:18:22.50
I was looking for a project
00:18:22.53\00:18:23.87
that could both benefit the farm
00:18:23.90\00:18:25.80
and also with a low capital cost
00:18:25.83\00:18:27.70
and easily scalable.
00:18:27.74\00:18:29.44
And so I saw
that there was a need
00:18:29.47\00:18:31.11
for a high quality healthy
and also affordable bar of soap
00:18:31.14\00:18:35.81
in Zambia.
00:18:35.84\00:18:37.18
And so those are
basically the three principles
00:18:37.21\00:18:39.95
which we
founded the industry on,
00:18:39.98\00:18:42.38
which is quality,
health and affordability,
00:18:42.42\00:18:44.92
'cause usually we can find,
you know, two of the three,
00:18:44.95\00:18:47.59
but it's not
necessarily a product
00:18:47.62\00:18:48.96
that everybody can afford.
00:18:48.99\00:18:50.83
And so,
00:18:50.86\00:18:53.50
the Bible says in
1 Corinthians 10:31,
00:18:53.53\00:18:58.00
I'm just going to
turn there real quick.
00:18:58.03\00:18:59.63
Okay.
00:18:59.67\00:19:01.00
It says, "Therefore,
00:19:01.04\00:19:02.37
whether you eat or
drink or whatever you do,
00:19:02.40\00:19:05.31
do all to the glory of God."
00:19:05.34\00:19:08.11
And so we also read
from Spirit of Prophecy
00:19:08.14\00:19:10.58
where Sister White says
00:19:10.61\00:19:11.95
cleanliness is
next to godliness.
00:19:11.98\00:19:14.38
And something that we
train the sales agents,
00:19:14.42\00:19:17.65
which is,
00:19:17.69\00:19:19.02
you know, the number
one thing as Christians
00:19:19.05\00:19:20.82
that we should
strive for is godliness.
00:19:20.86\00:19:23.39
But next to that is
actually cleanliness.
00:19:23.43\00:19:25.29
And it's not only important
what we put into our bodies,
00:19:25.33\00:19:28.80
but also what we use
to clean our bodies with
00:19:28.83\00:19:31.77
is also important.
00:19:31.80\00:19:33.27
Yeah, hygiene.
00:19:33.30\00:19:34.64
You know, show
them how soap bar looks.
00:19:34.67\00:19:37.31
Now, which flavor is this?
00:19:37.34\00:19:38.67
This one is
peppermint moisturizer soap,
00:19:38.71\00:19:41.01
and it smells yummy.
00:19:41.04\00:19:42.91
Yes.
00:19:42.94\00:19:44.28
And it's for the, your
face, your body, hands,
00:19:44.31\00:19:46.35
it's cooling, it's moisturizing.
00:19:46.38\00:19:48.58
And it has organic Shea butter.
00:19:48.62\00:19:51.05
This is just, I
think almost peppermint.
00:19:51.09\00:19:53.46
Guess what, Josh?
00:19:53.49\00:19:55.09
You're not leaving here
today. And I like charcoal too.
00:19:55.12\00:19:57.53
Charcoal
00:19:57.56\00:19:58.89
and that's one that
really takes out the impurities.
00:19:58.93\00:20:01.50
It clears your
pimples, detoxifies.
00:20:01.53\00:20:02.86
Yes.
00:20:02.90\00:20:04.23
The charcoal soap actually
the most popular soap right now
00:20:04.27\00:20:06.70
in Zambia
00:20:06.74\00:20:08.07
and because many
people, many women and girls
00:20:08.10\00:20:10.17
have said that
just within three days,
00:20:10.21\00:20:12.17
their pimples and their
face has started to clear up.
00:20:12.21\00:20:14.84
And so, it cleanses,
00:20:14.88\00:20:16.44
but also
moisturizes because of sugar,
00:20:16.48\00:20:18.55
which is a natural humectant
00:20:18.58\00:20:20.42
drawing moisture
from the environment
00:20:20.45\00:20:21.78
into the skin
00:20:21.82\00:20:23.15
to replace the detoxification
that the charcoal causes.
00:20:23.18\00:20:26.19
Wow.
00:20:26.22\00:20:27.56
So there's an acne benefit,
now look out for proactive
00:20:27.59\00:20:30.69
and all those types of things.
00:20:30.73\00:20:32.06
That's really good.
00:20:32.09\00:20:33.43
And the Lord
impressed you to do that.
00:20:33.46\00:20:34.86
And what kind of
reception did you get
00:20:34.90\00:20:38.57
when these, I think
you have some photos
00:20:38.60\00:20:41.57
that shows the
production side of it.
00:20:41.60\00:20:44.07
Oh, sure.
00:20:44.11\00:20:45.47
So production process
right now is fairly small,
00:20:45.51\00:20:50.08
but we're operating out
of one room with right now,
00:20:50.11\00:20:53.01
12 workers
trained for two shifts.
00:20:53.05\00:20:55.85
And so they're making
approximately 1600 bars per day
00:20:55.88\00:20:59.49
and filling, they
put it into the molds
00:20:59.52\00:21:01.92
and then it goes
over to the curing room
00:21:01.96\00:21:03.76
for a couple of weeks
00:21:03.79\00:21:05.13
coming back
where the bars are cut
00:21:05.16\00:21:09.43
and stamped and then packaged
00:21:09.46\00:21:12.47
and then made
available for sale.
00:21:12.50\00:21:14.54
So this is one group of workers.
00:21:14.57\00:21:17.01
You can see their smiling
faces and they're all youth.
00:21:17.04\00:21:19.67
So they're all
under the age of 25
00:21:19.71\00:21:22.54
and they're making
this soap on a daily basis
00:21:22.58\00:21:25.01
and they're all
very excited about it.
00:21:25.05\00:21:27.08
And how many bars a day?
00:21:27.12\00:21:28.65
One thousand six hundred,
00:21:28.68\00:21:30.19
although in the near
future when I go back to Zambia,
00:21:30.22\00:21:34.49
we're planning to
build a larger factory,
00:21:34.52\00:21:36.49
which we'll be able to
make up to 12,000 bars per day.
00:21:36.52\00:21:40.43
Yeah. The production workers.
00:21:40.46\00:21:41.80
How many of them do you have?
00:21:41.83\00:21:43.67
Twelve. You said 12. Okay.
00:21:43.70\00:21:45.93
Yeah, so you're
gonna be amping that up
00:21:45.97\00:21:48.44
when you talk about the demand.
00:21:48.47\00:21:50.41
And, Ashley, I want to
throw that towards you,
00:21:50.44\00:21:52.41
you know, because
there's some future plans
00:21:52.44\00:21:54.74
for the Akuna soap industry.
00:21:54.78\00:21:56.41
Let's about talk that.
00:21:56.44\00:21:58.01
Yeah, so what I'm hoping to do
00:21:58.05\00:22:00.62
when I go to Zambia is
to be able to work more
00:22:00.65\00:22:03.25
with the women and youth.
00:22:03.28\00:22:05.25
I really like that
missional aspect of it.
00:22:05.29\00:22:09.02
The idea of being
able to train them,
00:22:09.06\00:22:10.66
how to sell these soaps,
00:22:10.69\00:22:12.03
you know, to make
that additional income
00:22:12.06\00:22:14.60
that they
otherwise wouldn't have.
00:22:14.63\00:22:16.46
I think that's so important
00:22:16.50\00:22:18.47
because, you know,
00:22:18.50\00:22:19.83
it will give
these people more access
00:22:19.87\00:22:21.37
to communication,
00:22:21.40\00:22:23.91
you know, transportation,
00:22:23.94\00:22:26.27
better education
for their children
00:22:26.31\00:22:27.98
and things like that.
00:22:28.01\00:22:29.34
So we're hoping to increase
00:22:29.38\00:22:30.88
number of sales agents out there
00:22:30.91\00:22:33.15
and just keep working,
00:22:33.18\00:22:35.38
so we can reach more people.
00:22:35.42\00:22:37.05
Now you'll be
going out to Zambia
00:22:37.09\00:22:39.29
as a student
missionary pretty soon.
00:22:39.32\00:22:41.59
How do you feel about that?
00:22:41.62\00:22:44.13
Are you excited?
I'm very excited.
00:22:44.16\00:22:46.36
A little bit nervous.
00:22:46.39\00:22:48.20
Never been to Africa
00:22:48.23\00:22:49.93
and there's
definitely a lot to learn
00:22:49.96\00:22:52.30
once I get over there,
00:22:52.33\00:22:53.67
but I think God will bless
00:22:53.70\00:22:56.30
and I'm excited
to see what happens.
00:22:56.34\00:22:58.17
Josh will be there, right? Yeah.
00:22:58.21\00:22:59.91
That's right. So you
have a familiar face.
00:22:59.94\00:23:01.68
That's right.
That's right. Yeah.
00:23:01.71\00:23:03.78
It's always nice to
have a familiar face.
00:23:03.81\00:23:05.58
Would you add
anything to that, Michelle?
00:23:05.61\00:23:07.38
Well, I think a neat part
of this model that I loved
00:23:07.42\00:23:10.89
from when they started is that
00:23:10.92\00:23:13.05
the soap is sold by
Christian youth and women.
00:23:13.09\00:23:18.09
Yeah.
00:23:18.13\00:23:19.46
And I know we'll
get to some pictures
00:23:19.49\00:23:21.46
or some pictures coming of them.
00:23:21.50\00:23:23.53
And that is just so fun
00:23:23.57\00:23:26.37
because they are really learning
00:23:26.40\00:23:28.57
and growing and developing.
00:23:28.60\00:23:31.71
And that's a huge
part of the mission
00:23:31.74\00:23:34.58
because, yeah,
selling the soap earns income
00:23:34.61\00:23:37.35
and that income
can be reinvested
00:23:37.38\00:23:39.31
to improve the
ministry in the community,
00:23:39.35\00:23:42.32
but the people
who are selling it
00:23:42.35\00:23:44.55
are learning
valuable skills too.
00:23:44.59\00:23:47.02
And they're able to
share the love of Jesus
00:23:47.06\00:23:48.86
more personally.
00:23:48.89\00:23:50.23
Because when
you're going one-on-one
00:23:50.26\00:23:52.69
to, to sell and
talk about health
00:23:52.73\00:23:55.06
and they also have some
health books that they use,
00:23:55.10\00:23:57.87
they're able to really make
connections in the community.
00:23:57.90\00:24:01.10
And so then this becomes
00:24:01.14\00:24:02.47
not just like
community empowerment,
00:24:02.50\00:24:04.61
economic empowerment,
00:24:04.64\00:24:06.57
but also a witnessing tool.
00:24:06.61\00:24:08.61
That's right.
00:24:08.64\00:24:09.98
And also adding to the people
00:24:10.01\00:24:11.71
that are
participating in this outreach,
00:24:11.75\00:24:14.38
some personal
assets that they can use
00:24:14.42\00:24:18.09
and maybe expand their ability
to even purchase some things
00:24:18.12\00:24:21.86
that prior to this product
they couldn't be able to do it.
00:24:21.89\00:24:24.63
That's right.
00:24:24.66\00:24:25.99
Now... Go ahead, Josh.
00:24:26.03\00:24:27.40
Yes, so as
Michelle was mentioning
00:24:27.43\00:24:31.40
we have this
sales agent structure
00:24:31.43\00:24:34.30
for the soap industry
00:24:34.34\00:24:35.67
where we thought,
00:24:35.70\00:24:37.04
how can we combine
this idea of healthy soap
00:24:37.07\00:24:39.24
with also empowering the
youth and the women of Zambia?
00:24:39.27\00:24:43.35
Because there's a
disproportionate amount
00:24:43.38\00:24:46.41
of these groups
00:24:46.45\00:24:47.78
who are unemployed and
they're looking for work
00:24:47.82\00:24:49.98
and they're looking
for ways to support them,
00:24:50.02\00:24:51.55
their families
also to get educated.
00:24:51.59\00:24:54.22
And so over the past few months
00:24:54.26\00:24:58.36
we've been able to
train some various groups
00:24:58.39\00:25:01.23
which we can see on the screen
00:25:01.26\00:25:03.70
from, for example,
the Lusaka Conference
00:25:03.73\00:25:06.00
the Kafue Main church.
00:25:06.03\00:25:07.37
Oh, nice.
00:25:07.40\00:25:08.74
As well as the chicken
cottage district youth,
00:25:08.77\00:25:10.81
as well as a group of women
known as the Dorcas Mothers,
00:25:10.84\00:25:13.68
which is a very...
00:25:13.71\00:25:15.04
They wear blue, don't they?
00:25:15.08\00:25:16.41
That's right. Blue
dresses and white hats.
00:25:16.44\00:25:18.48
And they're very extensive
00:25:18.51\00:25:19.85
and a very
God-fearing organization
00:25:19.88\00:25:22.58
there in Zambia.
00:25:22.62\00:25:23.95
They go out and do
good in the communities.
00:25:23.99\00:25:25.79
So we thought, why not
give them this opportunity
00:25:25.82\00:25:29.72
to also earn some
extra money on the side.
00:25:29.76\00:25:32.23
And so that's
been a huge blessing.
00:25:32.26\00:25:34.63
And you remember those
colors when we were over there,
00:25:34.66\00:25:36.20
the ladies in blue.
00:25:36.23\00:25:37.57
Oh.
00:25:37.60\00:25:38.93
They would get the water
and they would dig up the dirt
00:25:38.97\00:25:42.14
and it was, you
know, plant stuff.
00:25:42.17\00:25:44.64
It was so nice.
00:25:44.67\00:25:46.07
Now, how does a
group of college students,
00:25:46.11\00:25:48.14
how do, where do
you get the money from?
00:25:48.18\00:25:50.31
I mean, how does that work?
00:25:50.35\00:25:54.52
Any of you?
00:25:54.55\00:25:56.45
Well, a lot of
it comes from people
00:25:56.48\00:26:00.32
who, you know,
maybe feel called by God
00:26:00.36\00:26:02.99
to support us and help us out.
00:26:03.02\00:26:06.13
You know, fundraising
is always a huge part
00:26:06.16\00:26:08.33
of these types of things
00:26:08.36\00:26:09.70
because, you
know, we're non-profit,
00:26:09.73\00:26:11.40
we're missional.
00:26:11.43\00:26:12.77
And so, you know, we pray
00:26:12.80\00:26:15.24
and we just go
where God leads us
00:26:15.27\00:26:17.34
and the
connections that He gives us.
00:26:17.37\00:26:19.74
And I think part of it,
and Josh can talk about this
00:26:19.77\00:26:22.91
is starting small
with what you have.
00:26:22.94\00:26:26.88
That's right.
What's in your hand?
00:26:26.92\00:26:28.68
What's in your hand, right?
00:26:28.72\00:26:30.25
And so, Josh can tell you about
00:26:30.29\00:26:33.05
the mixing bowl
with a modified drill,
00:26:33.09\00:26:35.36
used to spin and mix the stuff
00:26:35.39\00:26:39.06
and tire around it, and like,
00:26:39.09\00:26:41.50
you know, simple things,
just having to be creative
00:26:41.53\00:26:44.83
and use a little bit.
00:26:44.87\00:26:46.33
And then like, as
that has been done,
00:26:46.37\00:26:50.64
people see what's happening
00:26:50.67\00:26:52.01
and people have
started to give more.
00:26:52.04\00:26:54.14
And so we just got
in 35,000 recently,
00:26:54.18\00:26:57.25
which was a huge blessing.
00:26:57.28\00:26:58.61
That's about a third of the way
00:26:58.65\00:26:59.98
towards the
goal of what's needed
00:27:00.02\00:27:01.55
to build the new
production facility.
00:27:01.58\00:27:04.19
So we're not there yet,
00:27:04.22\00:27:05.55
but God has done so much
00:27:05.59\00:27:07.39
that I'm sure God
is going to finish it,
00:27:07.42\00:27:09.79
but Josh can tell you
more about what it's like
00:27:09.82\00:27:12.09
trying to be on
the ground with this
00:27:12.13\00:27:13.60
and not knowing where
the money will come from.
00:27:13.63\00:27:15.63
Yeah. Exactly.
00:27:15.66\00:27:17.03
There's been so
many ways along the way
00:27:17.07\00:27:20.44
that we've seen God
00:27:20.47\00:27:22.60
provide for us financially
and also resource wise.
00:27:22.64\00:27:28.41
But as Michelle pointed out,
00:27:28.44\00:27:30.35
there've been many people
whose generosity has allowed us
00:27:30.38\00:27:33.11
to move forward
00:27:33.15\00:27:34.52
and move forward in faith.
00:27:34.55\00:27:36.82
And we've been starting small,
00:27:36.85\00:27:38.69
just using the
materials that were around us.
00:27:38.72\00:27:43.69
Just like finding a pot
from the store, for example,
00:27:43.73\00:27:46.59
getting a drill bit,
00:27:46.63\00:27:47.96
cutting some
pieces of an old tire.
00:27:48.00\00:27:49.33
And now we have a soap mixer.
00:27:49.36\00:27:50.80
Okay. The spinner. That's right.
00:27:50.83\00:27:53.00
And so things like that,
00:27:53.03\00:27:54.70
as well as making
things out of wood.
00:27:54.74\00:27:57.61
But eventually
as people saw that,
00:27:57.64\00:27:59.61
wow, this is actually
something that could be scalable
00:27:59.64\00:28:02.41
and could be serious.
00:28:02.44\00:28:04.31
Some donations
started to pour in,
00:28:04.35\00:28:05.95
we were able to get
some better equipment,
00:28:05.98\00:28:08.08
but as she pointed out
00:28:08.12\00:28:09.55
there are still some great needs
00:28:09.58\00:28:11.49
and planning to build a
bigger production facility
00:28:11.52\00:28:15.22
when I go back
00:28:15.26\00:28:17.03
in order to meet
the current demand.
00:28:17.06\00:28:19.56
And so... Sorry.
00:28:19.59\00:28:22.96
So you'll hire more
people too once a production,
00:28:23.00\00:28:25.80
you get more
production and more equipment?
00:28:25.83\00:28:27.20
That's correct. Yeah.
00:28:27.24\00:28:28.97
You know, my
mind is going crazy,
00:28:29.00\00:28:30.34
'cause I'm a
MacGyver to some degree.
00:28:30.37\00:28:32.64
Yeah, he's always
thinking on the mixers.
00:28:32.67\00:28:34.01
I'm thinking of those big
bread mixers professional,
00:28:34.04\00:28:37.11
but the dole mixer is that have,
00:28:37.15\00:28:39.38
you know, the kneading,
the arm goes down and spin.
00:28:39.41\00:28:41.42
I thought, well,
that would do pretty well.
00:28:41.45\00:28:44.02
Sure, Josh could
modify that to some degree,
00:28:44.05\00:28:46.89
but it's really amazing.
00:28:46.92\00:28:48.39
These are faith building stories
00:28:48.42\00:28:49.79
when you see God providing.
00:28:49.82\00:28:51.43
Anything in
particular jumps out at you,
00:28:51.46\00:28:52.99
when you think about
how God is showing you
00:28:53.03\00:28:55.00
that I'm in what you're doing.
00:28:55.03\00:28:56.90
I know.
00:28:56.93\00:28:58.27
Any of those faith
stories that you might think of?
00:28:58.30\00:29:00.70
Yeah, there was something
00:29:00.74\00:29:02.07
that was very
inspirational to me
00:29:02.10\00:29:03.44
is just to, to hear a couple
of stories from some youth
00:29:03.47\00:29:06.47
who are sales
agents selling the soap.
00:29:06.51\00:29:08.21
Oh, yeah. Let's hear it.
00:29:08.24\00:29:09.58
For example, this one girl
00:29:09.61\00:29:11.35
which you'll also see in a video
00:29:11.38\00:29:13.85
that will be showed is
00:29:13.88\00:29:16.15
couldn't afford to
even buy a cell phone
00:29:16.18\00:29:18.09
and she couldn't
afford to go to school,
00:29:18.12\00:29:20.62
but her friend told
her about the soap project
00:29:20.66\00:29:22.89
and about how,
00:29:22.92\00:29:24.26
you know, she could
sell these healthy soaps
00:29:24.29\00:29:25.63
and also make a
living for herself.
00:29:25.66\00:29:28.53
And so she started doing this
00:29:28.56\00:29:29.90
and she was able to
afford the cell phone
00:29:29.93\00:29:32.13
as well as help to
support her tuition,
00:29:32.17\00:29:34.87
to continue her education.
00:29:34.90\00:29:36.67
And so, there's these
inspirational stories like that
00:29:36.71\00:29:39.54
as well as just the
feedback from the customers
00:29:39.57\00:29:42.11
has been
overwhelmingly positive.
00:29:42.14\00:29:44.15
And so,
00:29:44.18\00:29:45.51
that has been a blessing
and an inspiration as well.
00:29:45.55\00:29:48.52
That's wonderful. Now
I have a quick question.
00:29:48.55\00:29:51.49
Sure. This is totally different.
00:29:51.52\00:29:53.09
What about COVID?
00:29:53.12\00:29:54.52
How has COVID affected Zambia
and the work going on there?
00:29:54.56\00:29:58.53
That's a very good question.
00:29:58.56\00:29:59.89
Sure. Great question.
00:29:59.93\00:30:01.90
Well, the good thing is,
is that we're making soap
00:30:01.93\00:30:05.07
and we all know that
during times of COVID,
00:30:05.10\00:30:07.27
hand washing is the
most important thing
00:30:07.30\00:30:09.80
that we could do.
00:30:09.84\00:30:11.17
That is really insightful.
00:30:11.21\00:30:12.54
And so, hand
washing is super important.
00:30:12.57\00:30:15.18
So we just are showing that,
00:30:15.21\00:30:17.38
you know, the
ingredients that we use,
00:30:17.41\00:30:18.75
they're not only antibacterial,
antifungal, but also antiviral.
00:30:18.78\00:30:22.88
And so, of
course, they're, you know,
00:30:22.92\00:30:26.05
following the other
precautions that are in place.
00:30:26.09\00:30:28.82
But this is, you know,
a product that's in need,
00:30:28.86\00:30:31.79
you know, regardless of
what time of year it is,
00:30:31.83\00:30:34.43
whether it's COVID
season or non COVID season,
00:30:34.46\00:30:38.17
washing hands is something
that tends to never go away.
00:30:38.20\00:30:40.57
Exactly.
00:30:40.60\00:30:41.94
Are these bubbly soaps
or are they not bubbly?
00:30:41.97\00:30:43.94
Yeah, they're very bubbly,
00:30:43.97\00:30:45.31
especially
because of the coconut oil
00:30:45.34\00:30:47.28
and some different
and natural ingredients
00:30:47.31\00:30:49.44
that we use.
00:30:49.48\00:30:50.95
But coconut, palm and soy
oil are the main ingredients
00:30:50.98\00:30:54.28
that form the base.
00:30:54.32\00:30:55.65
And then we add other additives
such as Bel Patra powder.
00:30:55.68\00:30:58.12
Keep all the ingredients.
00:30:58.15\00:31:00.26
You know, they got the secrets,
00:31:00.29\00:31:02.16
while they're
writing down the secrets.
00:31:02.19\00:31:04.19
Get that out.
00:31:04.23\00:31:06.13
Now, Ashley, it's important
00:31:06.16\00:31:07.80
to empower these young
women and youth, isn't it?
00:31:07.83\00:31:11.40
Yeah. I think so. Yeah.
00:31:11.43\00:31:13.64
So, sorry, what
you were gonna ask?
00:31:13.67\00:31:15.44
Yeah and why? And why?
00:31:15.47\00:31:17.27
Because the
unemployment rate in Zambia
00:31:17.31\00:31:20.98
is actually pretty high.
00:31:21.01\00:31:22.38
Last I checked, it
was around 11.41% or so.
00:31:22.41\00:31:26.51
And so, being able to create
these jobs for these youth,
00:31:26.55\00:31:32.55
you know, have something
where they can learn skills,
00:31:32.59\00:31:34.86
they can learn,
00:31:34.89\00:31:36.22
you know, not only to do sales,
00:31:36.26\00:31:37.59
but things like
management and leadership
00:31:37.63\00:31:40.03
and other things like that.
00:31:40.06\00:31:41.40
And then being able to
take these skills and make,
00:31:41.43\00:31:44.23
you know, a passive income,
00:31:44.27\00:31:45.97
something that will
help them to purchase things
00:31:46.00\00:31:48.30
that they haven't
otherwise been able to buy.
00:31:48.34\00:31:51.14
You know, maybe
things like cell phones,
00:31:51.17\00:31:52.67
like Josh was
saying about that one girl
00:31:52.71\00:31:54.71
or better transportation
to get into town, you know,
00:31:54.74\00:31:58.71
so they can buy
things that they might need.
00:31:58.75\00:32:01.48
All of that's important
00:32:01.52\00:32:03.05
just to increase
their quality of life.
00:32:03.08\00:32:04.92
And so that's why I
think it's important to,
00:32:04.95\00:32:07.39
you know, use Akuna to
empower these women and youth.
00:32:07.42\00:32:10.39
And it's not just product,
00:32:10.43\00:32:12.39
but also enterprise,
00:32:12.43\00:32:14.23
once again, the
business spiritual model,
00:32:14.26\00:32:16.73
empowering
women, providing needs.
00:32:16.77\00:32:19.27
It's really amazing
because a lot of people,
00:32:19.30\00:32:21.27
when you're talking
about 11% of unemployment,
00:32:21.30\00:32:23.20
I mean that's high.
00:32:23.24\00:32:24.57
Especially for women.
00:32:24.61\00:32:25.94
Yeah, that's high.
00:32:25.97\00:32:27.31
And then all of a
sudden along comes a product
00:32:27.34\00:32:28.74
that is opening the doors.
00:32:28.78\00:32:31.08
Josh? Yes.
00:32:31.11\00:32:32.45
And the business as
giving them these business
00:32:32.48\00:32:36.35
and entrepreneurial skills.
00:32:36.38\00:32:37.72
Entrepreneurial skills
00:32:37.75\00:32:39.09
is a fundamental
parts of the industry.
00:32:39.12\00:32:40.86
But we also realized that
we are living in the last days.
00:32:40.89\00:32:43.43
Amen.
00:32:43.46\00:32:44.79
And the gospel of the kingdom
00:32:44.83\00:32:46.16
needs to be
preached to the whole world.
00:32:46.19\00:32:47.53
Yes.
00:32:47.56\00:32:48.90
So we want to combine
business with ministry.
00:32:48.93\00:32:50.33
And when we're
training these sales agents
00:32:50.37\00:32:52.13
give them tools
00:32:52.17\00:32:53.50
where they're not
just treating the customer
00:32:53.54\00:32:55.64
as an object to get money from,
00:32:55.67\00:32:57.91
but also as a child of God.
00:32:57.94\00:33:00.01
So we tell them,
00:33:00.04\00:33:02.24
we teach them and instruct them
00:33:02.28\00:33:04.71
how to spread the
three angels' messages,
00:33:04.75\00:33:07.15
also how to do
Bible study and witnessing
00:33:07.18\00:33:10.35
and just being these
agents not only for soap,
00:33:10.39\00:33:14.36
but also for God.
00:33:14.39\00:33:16.22
And this has been
a fundamental part
00:33:16.26\00:33:19.09
of everything.
00:33:19.13\00:33:20.46
And one idea that we
actually have in mind
00:33:20.50\00:33:22.36
is to make a
laminated truth cards,
00:33:22.40\00:33:24.77
which will be small, affordable,
00:33:24.80\00:33:27.30
and waterproof
during rainy season,
00:33:27.34\00:33:29.40
which will have all
the fundamental truths
00:33:29.44\00:33:31.67
like the sanctuary,
00:33:31.71\00:33:33.17
state of the dead,
second coming, salvation.
00:33:33.21\00:33:35.98
And so, this is also a project
00:33:36.01\00:33:38.41
that we're
currently fundraising for,
00:33:38.45\00:33:40.15
but by God's grace,
00:33:40.18\00:33:41.52
we want this truth to go
out to the people of Zambia,
00:33:41.55\00:33:44.29
like the leaves of autumn.
00:33:44.32\00:33:45.65
Wow.
00:33:45.69\00:33:47.02
I think what we
want to do right now
00:33:47.06\00:33:48.39
is watch that
video about the product
00:33:48.42\00:33:50.63
and how it's
empowering young people
00:33:50.66\00:33:52.73
and how it's making a
difference there in Zambia.
00:33:52.76\00:33:55.46
My name is Ignatius Kabwe,
00:34:04.61\00:34:06.54
and I'm the books
manager here at Riverside.
00:34:06.57\00:34:10.18
I feel the Akuna soap industry
00:34:10.21\00:34:13.21
is very important here in Zambia
00:34:13.25\00:34:15.12
because it gives an
opportunity to the youth
00:34:15.15\00:34:18.22
who don't have
money to go to school,
00:34:18.25\00:34:20.52
to sell the soap and raise money
00:34:20.56\00:34:22.82
so that they can go to school.
00:34:22.86\00:34:24.66
The youth empowerment
00:34:24.69\00:34:26.03
is very important here in Zambia
00:34:26.06\00:34:27.46
because you know when
we look at the youths,
00:34:27.50\00:34:30.17
we are looking at the future,
00:34:30.20\00:34:31.57
not only of the church,
00:34:31.60\00:34:33.30
but the future of
the country as well.
00:34:33.34\00:34:35.07
You know, there are
people out there who just go,
00:34:35.10\00:34:38.24
maybe to church
00:34:38.27\00:34:39.61
because their parents
have been going to church
00:34:39.64\00:34:41.71
since they were born.
00:34:41.74\00:34:43.11
So they don't really know
why they go to that church
00:34:43.14\00:34:46.21
and some go to church
00:34:46.25\00:34:48.05
and they don't really
get to study the gospel.
00:34:48.08\00:34:50.85
By us selling soap to
them and teaching them about
00:34:50.89\00:34:54.16
how they can keep
their bodies healthy.
00:34:54.19\00:34:57.23
It helps us to
befriend them and by so doing,
00:34:57.26\00:35:01.00
we can get to minister to them
00:35:01.03\00:35:02.80
and tell them more
about Jesus Christ.
00:35:02.83\00:35:05.77
He is very
interested in our health,
00:35:05.80\00:35:08.57
as might, as he's interested
in our spiritual life.
00:35:08.60\00:35:11.77
So I feel Akuna is
just like canvassing,
00:35:11.81\00:35:14.78
a way of
reaching out to the souls
00:35:14.81\00:35:17.01
and opening the
door for the gospel
00:35:17.05\00:35:19.71
to be preached to them.
00:35:19.75\00:35:21.48
I have friends who
are selling Akuna soap,
00:35:21.52\00:35:23.39
but one of my friends,
00:35:23.42\00:35:24.75
she moved all the
way from Kafue to Lusaka
00:35:24.79\00:35:27.82
just to sell her Akuna soap.
00:35:27.86\00:35:29.62
And in just a day she
was able to sell two boxes.
00:35:29.66\00:35:34.43
That made her so happy,
00:35:34.46\00:35:35.90
she told me that she was
so excited and so humbled
00:35:35.93\00:35:38.93
because of this Akuna
soap industry that came.
00:35:38.97\00:35:41.84
She is able now to
take care of her tuition fee
00:35:41.87\00:35:44.91
because she's at the university.
00:35:44.94\00:35:46.54
She couldn't do that
because she never had money.
00:35:46.57\00:35:49.04
So she said ever since she
started selling Akuna soap,
00:35:49.08\00:35:51.58
she's able to pay
for her own tuition fees.
00:35:51.61\00:35:54.05
She makes sure that
when she's on holidays,
00:35:54.08\00:35:56.55
she goes around,
00:35:56.58\00:35:57.92
she sells the soap
and she is so excited.
00:35:57.95\00:36:00.72
So this is how Akuna
soap can really help you.
00:36:00.76\00:36:03.16
Remember, you just
have to be hard working
00:36:03.19\00:36:05.63
and involve God
in whatever you do,
00:36:05.66\00:36:07.83
and everything
will work out for you.
00:36:07.86\00:36:09.93
My name is Remmy Habanyama,
00:36:09.96\00:36:11.73
and I'm the
human resource manager
00:36:11.77\00:36:13.17
for Riverside Farm Institute.
00:36:13.20\00:36:15.14
And so, I have had
a privilege of seeing
00:36:15.17\00:36:17.51
Akuna soap
industry grow from scratch
00:36:17.54\00:36:20.64
to where it is now.
00:36:20.68\00:36:22.08
And I will tell you to say,
00:36:22.11\00:36:23.45
I have had the
privilege of also seeing
00:36:23.48\00:36:25.28
the impact that
it has to the society
00:36:25.31\00:36:27.78
and the community at
large, here in Zambia.
00:36:27.82\00:36:30.55
You are therefore encouraged
to support this company
00:36:30.59\00:36:33.49
through whatever means
00:36:33.52\00:36:35.29
whether financially,
whether in terms of knowledge,
00:36:35.32\00:36:38.39
whether in terms of manpower,
00:36:38.43\00:36:39.79
whatever you can
do actually can do,
00:36:39.83\00:36:42.06
like that hymn that says,
00:36:42.10\00:36:43.97
if you cannot be the watchman
00:36:44.00\00:36:45.33
then there's
something that you can do.
00:36:45.37\00:36:46.90
Surely I believe that
00:36:46.94\00:36:48.27
there's
something that you can do
00:36:48.30\00:36:49.70
to ensure that
this company grows.
00:36:49.74\00:36:53.21
Thank you so much,
and may God bless you.
00:36:53.24\00:36:56.08
Don't forget
that internet address,
00:37:06.55\00:37:08.36
akunasoap.org.
00:37:08.39\00:37:12.59
And, I don't think
00:37:12.63\00:37:14.50
it's going to be too
far distant in the future
00:37:14.53\00:37:16.46
we're going to see
that logo in America.
00:37:16.50\00:37:18.50
We need that here in America.
00:37:18.53\00:37:19.87
I think I'm lifting
this bar to smell it.
00:37:19.90\00:37:21.24
Do you agree, we need it here?
00:37:21.27\00:37:24.01
Let's talk about
some of the future goals
00:37:24.04\00:37:27.91
and future
aspirations you talked about.
00:37:27.94\00:37:30.65
I think you
mentioned a moment ago,
00:37:30.68\00:37:32.01
about one-third
of the funds came in
00:37:32.05\00:37:33.52
and 35,000 is a lot,
00:37:33.55\00:37:35.48
but the goal
that you have in mind,
00:37:35.52\00:37:37.95
I believe that
there's somebody watching
00:37:37.99\00:37:39.32
or maybe a group of people
watching today that might say,
00:37:39.35\00:37:42.09
hey, this is so empowering.
00:37:42.12\00:37:44.16
I want to be a part of
it, but let's talk about that.
00:37:44.19\00:37:46.66
All right, so, yes, God
was blessing us very much
00:37:46.70\00:37:50.50
in that 35,000
donation that came in,
00:37:50.53\00:37:53.84
but as we're moving forward
00:37:53.87\00:37:55.80
there's an increase in
demand that's already happening
00:37:55.84\00:37:58.97
and also will
happen in the near future.
00:37:59.01\00:38:01.88
Because we've
been able to partner
00:38:01.91\00:38:03.75
with some major retail
chains there in Zambia as well.
00:38:03.78\00:38:07.85
And in order to
provide the funds
00:38:07.88\00:38:09.32
for empowering more
youth and women over there,
00:38:09.35\00:38:12.35
we also need some more
funds to pay for the equipment
00:38:12.39\00:38:16.09
and machines and raw materials
that will help us to increase.
00:38:16.12\00:38:22.23
So we're looking at
about 70,000 more as our goal.
00:38:22.26\00:38:27.34
And so,
00:38:27.37\00:38:29.10
if you feel that God is
impressing you in any way
00:38:29.14\00:38:31.27
to help this
ministry, just remember that.
00:38:31.31\00:38:32.64
Speak to that
camera right there.
00:38:32.67\00:38:34.01
Even small amounts can help,
00:38:34.04\00:38:36.48
even $5 will make a
tremendous difference.
00:38:36.51\00:38:39.51
And if that's what
God is calling you to do,
00:38:39.55\00:38:42.25
please consider it.
00:38:42.28\00:38:44.09
And we'll have
the address roll up
00:38:44.12\00:38:45.85
later on in the program
00:38:45.89\00:38:47.22
and makes sure
that they get that.
00:38:47.26\00:38:48.59
But let's talk
about Enactus competition.
00:38:48.62\00:38:52.53
Can you give me some
insight into what that is?
00:38:52.56\00:38:54.80
Yeah.
00:38:54.83\00:38:56.16
So every year there
is a national competition
00:38:56.20\00:38:59.63
for Enactus chapters
that are in the United States
00:38:59.67\00:39:02.80
and every year our Southern team
00:39:02.84\00:39:05.17
has done
traditionally pretty well.
00:39:05.21\00:39:07.98
So the competition structured
like at a divisional level.
00:39:08.01\00:39:12.11
And then once you
make it past divisions,
00:39:12.15\00:39:13.82
you go to semifinals
00:39:13.85\00:39:15.18
and then you have
final four and so on,
00:39:15.22\00:39:16.82
so that type of thing.
00:39:16.85\00:39:18.25
And we've
always done pretty well
00:39:18.29\00:39:19.92
in our divisional level.
00:39:19.95\00:39:21.29
We were placed second
00:39:21.32\00:39:22.66
in the past three years
in a row in our division.
00:39:22.69\00:39:26.03
This year we were actually
able to not only make it
00:39:26.06\00:39:29.66
past divisional
level for the first time
00:39:29.70\00:39:31.80
in Enactus Southern
Adventist University history,
00:39:31.83\00:39:35.04
but we placed third
in the entire country,
00:39:35.07\00:39:38.87
which was just
absolutely amazing, You know,
00:39:38.91\00:39:42.08
we were excited,
00:39:42.11\00:39:43.45
the students
were excited about it,
00:39:43.48\00:39:45.11
and I just thought it was cool
00:39:45.15\00:39:47.85
to see Southern represented
on that kind of national level
00:39:47.88\00:39:50.99
and be able to spread the
word about what we're doing
00:39:51.02\00:39:53.39
and, you know,
with Akuna as well,
00:39:53.42\00:39:55.49
to all those people
00:39:55.52\00:39:56.86
who were kind of looking on, so.
00:39:56.89\00:39:59.53
So, the slogan with
God nothing is impossible.
00:39:59.56\00:40:01.50
Yeah.
00:40:01.53\00:40:02.86
You must be proud as a teacher.
00:40:02.90\00:40:04.63
Yeah, you know, I mean,
00:40:04.67\00:40:06.00
we don't do
this for competition.
00:40:06.03\00:40:08.37
The neat thing
about this competition
00:40:08.40\00:40:09.77
is you basically just present
00:40:09.80\00:40:11.57
what you've been
doing for others,
00:40:11.61\00:40:13.68
but it was really, I guess,
00:40:13.71\00:40:15.41
just very rewarding to see that
00:40:15.44\00:40:17.35
others are seeing
value in what's happening.
00:40:17.38\00:40:21.08
Like others can
see it and say, wow,
00:40:21.12\00:40:23.45
this is really
cool what's going on.
00:40:23.49\00:40:25.85
And that is, you
know, worth showcasing
00:40:25.89\00:40:28.66
and, just the
growth in the project.
00:40:28.69\00:40:32.86
So we have other
projects in Enactus as well.
00:40:32.89\00:40:35.00
We've had one working
with the blind in India.
00:40:35.03\00:40:38.00
We have one working with
teenage girls in Tennessee
00:40:38.03\00:40:41.90
and other places
virtually doing computer coding.
00:40:41.94\00:40:44.91
We have one
helping small businesses
00:40:44.94\00:40:46.81
that were hurt by
COVID to do marketing
00:40:46.84\00:40:49.24
and get out there,
00:40:49.28\00:40:51.01
one working with
student entrepreneurs.
00:40:51.05\00:40:53.58
And so, it's been really fun
00:40:53.62\00:40:56.15
and Akuna is the one
00:40:56.18\00:40:57.82
I think that has the
most growth right now
00:40:57.85\00:41:00.72
and just so much
potential like Josh said,
00:41:00.76\00:41:03.53
the retail partnerships
00:41:03.56\00:41:05.36
have just totally
blown demand up now as well.
00:41:05.39\00:41:09.60
And now we are
looking at the US,
00:41:09.63\00:41:12.83
I mean and other
countries in Africa
00:41:12.87\00:41:15.17
that is slowly coming,
00:41:15.20\00:41:17.37
but it's just neat to see
that this has gone beyond like,
00:41:17.41\00:41:21.41
people think, you have students
they do nice little projects.
00:41:21.44\00:41:24.95
No, they're doing projects
that really change lives
00:41:24.98\00:41:29.18
and can change
a whole community.
00:41:29.22\00:41:30.55
Are they been sold
in stores in Zambia?
00:41:30.59\00:41:35.12
Yes.
00:41:35.16\00:41:36.49
There currently,
00:41:36.52\00:41:37.86
for the past
year they've been sold
00:41:37.89\00:41:39.23
in one of the
health stores in Zambia
00:41:39.26\00:41:41.06
called Umoyo Natural Health,
00:41:41.10\00:41:42.53
which has 10
branches just in Lusaka,
00:41:42.56\00:41:45.20
which is the capital.
00:41:45.23\00:41:46.57
And so, we have
some partnerships as well
00:41:46.60\00:41:50.51
that we are going
to begin buying from us
00:41:50.54\00:41:52.94
as soon as I go
back in about a month
00:41:52.97\00:41:55.78
but, it's actually
a two tiered emphasis
00:41:55.81\00:42:00.45
for our sales structure.
00:42:00.48\00:42:01.88
We hope to do retail
00:42:01.92\00:42:03.25
as well as empowering
those youth and women.
00:42:03.28\00:42:05.95
So far there's about
maybe 300 that are trained,
00:42:05.99\00:42:09.39
but our plan is by God's
grace to have about 3000 trained
00:42:09.42\00:42:13.46
by the time we are done.
00:42:13.50\00:42:16.40
And it seems like a lofty goal,
00:42:16.43\00:42:18.23
but if we remember
in the Book of Acts,
00:42:18.27\00:42:20.34
the Bible talks
about how in just one day,
00:42:20.37\00:42:22.54
3000 came to the church.
00:42:22.57\00:42:24.57
And also as a reminder that
00:42:24.61\00:42:25.94
with God, nothing is impossible.
00:42:25.97\00:42:27.58
You know, the Bible
says in Ecclesiastes,
00:42:27.61\00:42:30.01
whatever your hand finds to
do, do it with all your might.
00:42:30.05\00:42:33.55
And that's one of our verses
00:42:33.58\00:42:36.28
that is a founding
principle of the industry,
00:42:36.32\00:42:39.85
but also a daily reminder to
me that whatever we're doing,
00:42:39.89\00:42:42.96
if we leave it in God's hands
00:42:42.99\00:42:44.76
and we can
continue to do His work,
00:42:44.79\00:42:46.93
then He will continue
to grow and prosper it.
00:42:46.96\00:42:49.96
You know, it must be
interesting to see the light
00:42:50.00\00:42:51.67
coming on the
lives of those in Zambia.
00:42:51.70\00:42:54.07
And, also the farm there
00:42:54.10\00:42:56.40
that has been established
for a number of years,
00:42:56.44\00:42:58.87
Riverside Farm,
because the industry is huge.
00:42:58.91\00:43:01.78
We've had the two main
people that lead out in...
00:43:01.81\00:43:05.88
Alan and Pauline.
00:43:05.91\00:43:07.25
Alan and Pauline
come here before,
00:43:07.28\00:43:08.95
but then now this has
added an additional dimension.
00:43:08.98\00:43:11.49
So, Josh, I got
to honestly say this.
00:43:11.52\00:43:13.99
I mean, you haven't decided
00:43:14.02\00:43:15.36
where are you going
to live permanently.
00:43:15.39\00:43:17.23
But it be hard to leave
a vision like this behind
00:43:17.26\00:43:19.73
and say, well,
I'm going to move on
00:43:19.76\00:43:21.10
to other things,
00:43:21.13\00:43:22.46
I think that,
00:43:22.50\00:43:23.83
I think you
mentioned about essential oils.
00:43:23.87\00:43:25.20
You're working on that also.
00:43:25.23\00:43:26.57
Yes, that's a project
00:43:26.60\00:43:27.94
that is still in
the long-term planning
00:43:27.97\00:43:29.60
'cause currently
we're importing from India.
00:43:29.64\00:43:33.38
But we want to also produce
those essential oils in country
00:43:33.41\00:43:38.11
and that will be a project
00:43:38.15\00:43:39.48
that Ashley will
also be heading up.
00:43:39.51\00:43:42.22
But essentially to have all
the ingredients come locally,
00:43:42.25\00:43:46.32
either from Zambia or
from Africa as a whole.
00:43:46.35\00:43:49.42
And as far as
my long-term plans,
00:43:49.46\00:43:51.33
I just want to be
following God's leading.
00:43:51.36\00:43:53.70
I do have one more
year of school at Southern.
00:43:53.73\00:43:55.73
So I plan to finish that.
00:43:55.76\00:43:58.13
But it's been a
phenomenal experience
00:43:58.17\00:44:01.07
so far and great
to see how God has led
00:44:01.10\00:44:04.27
and all the things that
I've been able to learn.
00:44:04.31\00:44:07.24
So you a business student.
00:44:07.28\00:44:08.61
Correct? That's correct.
00:44:08.64\00:44:10.71
That's what,
that's how it got started,
00:44:10.75\00:44:13.55
but cleanliness
is next to godliness
00:44:13.58\00:44:16.02
and it's amazing
that prior to the program,
00:44:16.05\00:44:17.92
I said, you know,
you should say to them,
00:44:17.95\00:44:19.29
cleanliness is
next to godliness.
00:44:19.32\00:44:20.72
And they said,
well, that's our slogan
00:44:20.76\00:44:22.79
and amazing how that works.
00:44:22.82\00:44:24.16
But, Ashley,
00:44:24.19\00:44:25.53
you're looking
forward to diving in
00:44:25.56\00:44:26.90
haven't got the
Zambian dust on your feet yet.
00:44:26.93\00:44:29.13
What are you envisioning?
00:44:29.16\00:44:30.50
Yeah, I mean,
like I said before,
00:44:30.53\00:44:32.83
a lot to learn, you
know, first time in Africa,
00:44:32.87\00:44:35.94
but I do hope to
be able to head up
00:44:35.97\00:44:38.44
that essential oils
project a little bit
00:44:38.47\00:44:40.64
and something that's
really exciting to me about that
00:44:40.68\00:44:44.18
is being able to
empower the local farmers
00:44:44.21\00:44:47.12
to grow the
ingredients needed for that.
00:44:47.15\00:44:49.18
So the idea is that we're not,
00:44:49.22\00:44:50.95
you know, buying
anything from other countries,
00:44:50.99\00:44:53.02
but we are giving money
00:44:53.05\00:44:54.46
to the people who live
right there around Riverside
00:44:54.49\00:44:57.03
to grow those ingredients for us
00:44:57.06\00:44:58.86
and helping them,
00:44:58.89\00:45:00.23
you know, to build a
better financial future
00:45:00.26\00:45:01.96
for themselves.
00:45:02.00\00:45:03.33
And then while also
furthering the mission of Akuna
00:45:03.37\00:45:05.27
at the same time.
00:45:05.30\00:45:06.63
So it's just about making
it as sustainable as possible,
00:45:06.67\00:45:09.57
you know, helping the
local people around us,
00:45:09.60\00:45:11.91
empowering the women and
youth growing the business,
00:45:11.94\00:45:14.41
spreading the gospel,
00:45:14.44\00:45:15.78
all of it combined into
one beautiful circle bubble.
00:45:15.81\00:45:20.22
I don't know what I
would call it, cycle,
00:45:20.25\00:45:22.48
but, yeah, that's the goal, so.
00:45:22.52\00:45:25.55
Are we seeing new people
coming in into the message
00:45:25.59\00:45:28.12
or through Bible study
00:45:28.16\00:45:31.19
or even through the soaps?
00:45:31.23\00:45:34.56
That's a great question.
00:45:34.60\00:45:36.16
So, we deal
generally with the churches
00:45:36.20\00:45:39.27
and the conferences
00:45:39.30\00:45:40.64
who get the soaps from us
00:45:40.67\00:45:43.51
and then they distribute
them to the young people.
00:45:43.54\00:45:45.97
So I'm sure there are
plenty of stories like that.
00:45:46.01\00:45:48.58
But one story
00:45:48.61\00:45:49.94
that comes to mind in particular
00:45:49.98\00:45:51.55
is our production manager
00:45:51.58\00:45:53.68
who was dealing
over all the soaps.
00:45:53.72\00:45:55.92
And he mentioned to me
00:45:55.95\00:45:59.42
a few weeks
before I came to the US
00:45:59.45\00:46:01.42
that he had started
reading The Great Controversy
00:46:01.46\00:46:03.36
and The Desire of Ages.
00:46:03.39\00:46:04.96
And he actually hadn't,
he wasn't Adventist yet,
00:46:04.99\00:46:07.76
but he was
studying to be Adventist.
00:46:07.80\00:46:09.90
And so, through his work there,
00:46:09.93\00:46:12.77
and also with
the wellness center,
00:46:12.80\00:46:14.64
he was able to
really see the witness
00:46:14.67\00:46:16.40
as Christians that
we were portraying.
00:46:16.44\00:46:18.11
And he said,
these books are amazing.
00:46:18.14\00:46:20.04
They've already changed my life.
00:46:20.08\00:46:21.48
Amen.
00:46:21.51\00:46:23.18
And, I want to
just spend a little time
00:46:23.21\00:46:26.48
reiterating
what we talked about,
00:46:26.51\00:46:28.32
but like where you have
the mission, vision, values,
00:46:28.35\00:46:30.79
excellence,
integrity, and loyalty
00:46:30.82\00:46:33.49
are earmarks of what you do.
00:46:33.52\00:46:35.49
And we talked quite
a bit about the soaps,
00:46:35.52\00:46:37.56
but the soaps are the
byproduct of the mission
00:46:37.59\00:46:42.56
that God has
sent him there to do
00:46:42.60\00:46:44.17
not the gigantic main focus,
00:46:44.20\00:46:46.43
because Riverside Farms
has been impacting lives
00:46:46.47\00:46:49.07
on an educational
level, spiritual level,
00:46:49.10\00:46:51.61
soybeans, wheat, what else?
00:46:51.64\00:46:53.88
Bananas.
Bananas, Wellness center.
00:46:53.91\00:46:56.31
Wellness center.
00:46:56.34\00:46:57.68
Primary, secondary school,
as well as the Bible school.
00:46:57.71\00:47:00.35
Do they have a sewing class?
00:47:00.38\00:47:02.42
Yes, they have a
tailoring school as well.
00:47:02.45\00:47:04.22
Remember that.
00:47:04.25\00:47:05.59
So Riverside Farm is
a broad organization,
00:47:05.62\00:47:08.06
but including Ashley
and Josh and Michelle,
00:47:08.09\00:47:11.53
I'm sure you're
beaming with joy.
00:47:11.56\00:47:13.96
I don't think the word
pride will be the proper word,
00:47:14.00\00:47:16.26
but seeing that
what you have done
00:47:16.30\00:47:18.50
has empowered these young
lives to make a difference.
00:47:18.53\00:47:21.57
And a lot of times
people have to wait for decades
00:47:21.60\00:47:23.97
to say, well,
what's Josh doing now.
00:47:24.01\00:47:26.31
They're seeing
now. Well, Ashley up to?
00:47:26.34\00:47:28.84
You seeing the
fruit of your labor
00:47:28.88\00:47:30.55
Fruit of your labor.
00:47:30.58\00:47:31.91
And I want to
challenge those of you
00:47:31.95\00:47:33.28
that are watching the program
00:47:33.31\00:47:34.65
because, these bars of
soap, eight of them are soaps
00:47:34.68\00:47:38.55
and four of them are...
00:47:38.59\00:47:40.02
Shampoo and conditioner body.
00:47:40.06\00:47:41.39
Shampoo and conditioner.
00:47:41.42\00:47:42.76
It's making an impact.
00:47:42.79\00:47:44.13
Cleanliness is
next to godliness.
00:47:44.16\00:47:46.36
But Josh mentioned a moment
ago that the inspiring goal,
00:47:46.39\00:47:51.07
the Lord has set before them
00:47:51.10\00:47:52.90
is needs about
70,000 more dollars
00:47:52.93\00:47:55.50
to expand the
production industry,
00:47:55.54\00:47:57.77
to start meeting the demands
00:47:57.81\00:47:59.57
that are going to be exponential
00:47:59.61\00:48:01.08
coming up pretty soon.
00:48:01.11\00:48:02.44
Talk about that briefly?
00:48:02.48\00:48:03.81
Yeah. And a lot of questions.
00:48:03.85\00:48:05.18
And one question that
many people may have is,
00:48:05.21\00:48:07.05
you know,
where's this money going?
00:48:07.08\00:48:10.09
You know, where are the
profits going that come in?
00:48:10.12\00:48:12.95
And, Riverside is a
nonprofit organization.
00:48:12.99\00:48:17.26
But everything that
we've been making so far
00:48:17.29\00:48:21.03
has been
reinvested into the industry.
00:48:21.06\00:48:23.43
We plan to keep growing it
00:48:23.47\00:48:24.80
so that can help
further God's work.
00:48:24.83\00:48:26.67
And, we are in a position
00:48:26.70\00:48:28.57
within probably
the next six months
00:48:28.60\00:48:30.27
where we'll start
to become profitable.
00:48:30.31\00:48:33.74
But essentially it's,
00:48:33.78\00:48:36.64
it goes to help further
the mission of Riverside Farm,
00:48:36.68\00:48:39.38
which is serving
the needs of humanity.
00:48:39.41\00:48:41.78
So there's plans to
reach many other people
00:48:41.82\00:48:46.42
and minister to
them throughout Zambia,
00:48:46.45\00:48:48.69
as well as
building a Bible college
00:48:48.72\00:48:51.06
and a university
there at Riverside Farm
00:48:51.09\00:48:53.83
and just finding different
ways to fulfill that mission.
00:48:53.86\00:48:58.17
Wow. That's good.
00:48:58.20\00:48:59.53
So the Akuna soap industry,
00:48:59.57\00:49:02.04
and just, if
somebody just tuned in
00:49:02.07\00:49:04.51
the program is
winding up, Akuna means again?
00:49:04.54\00:49:08.34
It's short for Akuna Sesipala
00:49:08.38\00:49:10.08
which means,
nothing is impossible.
00:49:10.11\00:49:12.31
Wow.
00:49:12.35\00:49:13.68
And so we're seeing
that nothing is impossible.
00:49:13.72\00:49:15.42
So, Michelle, how
are you going to inspire
00:49:15.45\00:49:16.95
your future students,
00:49:16.99\00:49:18.32
maybe that want to
dive into something
00:49:18.35\00:49:19.85
that is creative as
revolutionary as it is?
00:49:19.89\00:49:22.96
Well, I think that
00:49:22.99\00:49:24.33
when students see
projects like this,
00:49:24.36\00:49:27.76
it gives them an idea of,
00:49:27.80\00:49:29.20
hey, maybe I could do something.
00:49:29.23\00:49:31.50
And that's really the
hope is maybe it's not soap,
00:49:31.53\00:49:34.44
maybe it's something else,
00:49:34.47\00:49:35.80
but, for some
students to go to, to India
00:49:35.84\00:49:38.91
or to South
America or to the islands
00:49:38.94\00:49:41.44
and different
places that need this
00:49:41.48\00:49:43.81
and use business as a
way to share the gospel
00:49:43.85\00:49:47.12
and improve people's lives.
00:49:47.15\00:49:49.08
And I think that
00:49:49.12\00:49:50.62
we're just
seeing the beginnings.
00:49:50.65\00:49:52.22
And so,
00:49:52.25\00:49:53.72
I think this will
encourage other students,
00:49:53.76\00:49:55.62
but even those of you watching,
00:49:55.66\00:49:57.69
like any way that we
support and encourage them
00:49:57.73\00:50:01.56
is furthering the work as well.
00:50:01.60\00:50:03.67
I may not get to be
in Zambia right now.
00:50:03.70\00:50:05.73
I would like to, but
they get to be in Zambia.
00:50:05.77\00:50:08.57
And that gives
me a reward as well.
00:50:08.60\00:50:10.64
But you did say to me earlier
00:50:10.67\00:50:12.87
that you were just
about to fly out to Zambia,
00:50:12.91\00:50:17.11
when COVID broke
out. Share with us?
00:50:17.15\00:50:18.51
Well, we were
actually going to Rwanda
00:50:18.55\00:50:20.55
first to do training for
high school entrepreneurs
00:50:20.58\00:50:24.45
and to do this in Rwanda.
00:50:24.49\00:50:26.05
And then that very day,
00:50:26.09\00:50:28.52
the World Health Organization
declared the pandemic
00:50:28.56\00:50:31.16
and everything shut down.
00:50:31.19\00:50:32.53
We literally had to get
our things off the plane
00:50:32.56\00:50:35.23
and go back, so
we didn't get to go,
00:50:35.26\00:50:38.40
but, but the work
is still moving forward
00:50:38.43\00:50:41.04
and Lord willing,
we will go soon, so.
00:50:41.07\00:50:43.24
Wow. That's good.
00:50:43.27\00:50:44.67
The Bible says, this
gospel of the kingdom
00:50:44.71\00:50:46.88
shall be preached into
all the world as a witness.
00:50:46.91\00:50:49.54
And we have to be creative too.
00:50:49.58\00:50:51.21
We have to be creative.
00:50:51.25\00:50:52.61
And I like in Luke 2:49,
00:50:52.65\00:50:54.88
when they came
looking for Jesus, he said,
00:50:54.92\00:50:56.48
"Why do you seek me?
00:50:56.52\00:50:57.85
Did you not know
00:50:57.89\00:50:59.22
that I must be about
my Father's business?"
00:50:59.25\00:51:01.62
And these young
entrepreneurs says,
00:51:01.66\00:51:04.23
well, thank you, Michelle,
00:51:04.26\00:51:05.69
and Riverside Farms
makes all the difference
00:51:05.73\00:51:08.83
because it's not
just about business,
00:51:08.86\00:51:10.53
but it's about
our Father's business.
00:51:10.57\00:51:13.37
Industry, the
integrity, division,
00:51:13.40\00:51:16.24
all the quality products,
00:51:16.27\00:51:17.97
but then the gospel,
00:51:18.01\00:51:19.34
getting the world
ready for the coming of Jesus
00:51:19.37\00:51:21.04
makes all the difference.
00:51:21.08\00:51:22.94
And, we just want
people to know that
00:51:22.98\00:51:24.91
what God is doing in your life
00:51:24.95\00:51:26.28
and in your life is very worthy.
00:51:26.31\00:51:28.58

you some information,

to donate toward the project,
