Hello and welcome to
another 3ABN Today program.
00:01:15.00\00:01:17.71
We're so glad that
you have joined us today.
00:01:17.74\00:01:20.38
Do you know why
we're glad you joined us?
00:01:20.41\00:01:22.21
Well, because
you're part of our family
00:01:22.24\00:01:23.75
and we're just
here in our living room
00:01:23.78\00:01:25.11
and we're hopefully
joining you in your living room
00:01:25.15\00:01:27.32
or wherever you're
watching or listening from.
00:01:27.35\00:01:29.35
We're so glad that
00:01:29.38\00:01:30.72
we're all part of
the family of God.
00:01:30.75\00:01:32.59
And to spend this one
hour with you on each day
00:01:32.62\00:01:34.82
is so much fun and we
enjoy it so very much,
00:01:34.86\00:01:37.76
you know, I love the
open that you just heard.
00:01:37.79\00:01:41.16
I want to spend my
life mending broken people.
00:01:41.20\00:01:44.90
And I hope that's
your prayer as well
00:01:44.93\00:01:46.67
that you want to spend your life
00:01:46.70\00:01:48.54
mending broken people.
00:01:48.57\00:01:49.90
And you know what?
00:01:49.94\00:01:51.27
Maybe you are
somebody that has been mended
00:01:51.31\00:01:52.64
by the ministry of 3ABN.
00:01:52.67\00:01:54.94
But I want you to know that
00:01:54.98\00:01:56.31
this ministry
is not our ministry
00:01:56.34\00:01:57.68
or your ministry,
00:01:57.71\00:01:59.05
it's ultimately God's ministry.
00:01:59.08\00:02:00.42
And we stand on the Word of God.
00:02:00.45\00:02:03.75
You know, the great
commission in the Bible
00:02:03.79\00:02:05.62
found in Matthew
28:19-20 talks about
00:02:05.65\00:02:10.23
"Go ye into all the world."
00:02:10.26\00:02:13.46
And if you've
watched 3ABN a long time,
00:02:13.50\00:02:15.86
you've heard Mr.
Danny always talk about,
00:02:15.90\00:02:17.67
so how many yees are there?
00:02:17.70\00:02:20.40
I wanna see your hands raise.
00:02:20.44\00:02:21.84
So, okay, I'm raising my hand.
00:02:21.87\00:02:23.20
I hope you're
raising yours as well,
00:02:23.24\00:02:25.77
at home as well,
because you know what?
00:02:25.81\00:02:27.94
God wants you to
go into all the world.
00:02:27.98\00:02:31.01
You may say,
00:02:31.05\00:02:32.38
"Wow, I'm not able to get out.
00:02:32.41\00:02:34.32
My legs don't work too well.
00:02:34.35\00:02:35.72
I don't have the
funds to go out."
00:02:35.75\00:02:37.12
But you know what?
00:02:37.15\00:02:38.49
You can help in
many different ways.
00:02:38.52\00:02:39.85
One of the most
important ways is by prayer.
00:02:39.89\00:02:42.46
I don't know how many
prayers go up for this ministry
00:02:42.49\00:02:44.56
of 3ABN, but we thank you
for lifting this ministry up.
00:02:44.59\00:02:47.96
Many of you are able
to support financially.
00:02:48.00\00:02:50.17
Thank you so
very much, but today
00:02:50.20\00:02:52.63
we're gonna be
talking about Jesus for Asia,
00:02:52.67\00:02:56.17
and it's about going ye
going into all the world.
00:02:56.20\00:03:00.61
And I'm here with
Jon and Natalie Wood.
00:03:00.64\00:03:03.75
And you are yees.
00:03:03.78\00:03:07.48
You're the
president of Jesus for Asia,
00:03:07.52\00:03:09.08
you're the co-founder.
00:03:09.12\00:03:10.45
You guys are
founders of Jesus for Asia.
00:03:10.49\00:03:12.42
And if you've watched
3ABN for a number of years
00:03:12.45\00:03:16.16
Jesus for Asia airs on
3ABN multiple times a week.
00:03:16.19\00:03:19.96
And I don't know how many years
00:03:20.00\00:03:21.33
have you been airing
on 3ABN your program?
00:03:21.36\00:03:23.10
Since 2016. 2016.
00:03:23.13\00:03:25.13
I know we get a good
response to the program
00:03:25.17\00:03:27.50
and thank you for the
work that you are doing.
00:03:27.54\00:03:29.44
God has called you,
00:03:29.47\00:03:30.81
you know, for this
purpose and for this reason.
00:03:30.84\00:03:32.91
And we're gonna be giving you
an update about Jesus for Asia,
00:03:32.94\00:03:36.14
or maybe you've just
found out about 3ABN.
00:03:36.18\00:03:38.75
You're like, I don't even know
what Jesus for Asia is about.
00:03:38.78\00:03:40.98
Well, we're gonna
tell you about that,
00:03:41.02\00:03:42.35
but we have some amazing...
00:03:42.38\00:03:43.95
Actually I don't, they
have some amazing miracles
00:03:43.99\00:03:47.32
of what God is
doing in the ministry
00:03:47.36\00:03:49.92
of Jesus for Asia.
00:03:49.96\00:03:52.29
So, Jon and Natalie, I want
to, before we go to some music,
00:03:52.33\00:03:54.00
want to talk to
you all because 3ABN,
00:03:54.03\00:03:56.67
this was kind of home to
you guys for a little while too,
00:03:56.70\00:03:59.07
wasn't it?
00:03:59.10\00:04:00.44
Yes. When was that?
00:04:00.47\00:04:01.80
Oh, we moved here
00:04:01.84\00:04:03.17
while I was
converted in 1996 on a trip
00:04:03.20\00:04:05.54
through Cambodia and Thailand.
00:04:05.57\00:04:07.01
Okay.
00:04:07.04\00:04:08.38
And then felt
God's call on our lives.
00:04:08.41\00:04:10.68
And I surrendered my,
00:04:10.71\00:04:13.52
I'd always wanted to be
in control of my career.
00:04:13.55\00:04:16.62
And after I was converted,
00:04:16.65\00:04:18.62
I just gave the
whole thing to God.
00:04:18.65\00:04:20.26
Wow.
00:04:20.29\00:04:21.62
And He got me the
best job I'd ever had,
00:04:21.66\00:04:23.19
got her the best
job she'd ever had.
00:04:23.22\00:04:25.39
And within six months
00:04:25.43\00:04:26.76
we bought a brand new
two-story house in Oregon.
00:04:26.80\00:04:29.46
So, you're like, man,
I'm living the life now.
00:04:29.50\00:04:30.97
Yeah, God has blessed me.
00:04:31.00\00:04:32.33
Providing, yeah.
00:04:32.37\00:04:33.70
And then 10 months later,
I got a call from Doug Garcia
00:04:33.74\00:04:35.94
who was working
here at the time.
00:04:35.97\00:04:37.47
And he says, would you be
interested in coming to work
00:04:37.51\00:04:39.34
for 3ABN?
00:04:39.37\00:04:40.88
And I'm like, I would love to,
00:04:40.91\00:04:42.24
but we just bought a new house.
00:04:42.28\00:04:44.41
You know, if I sell it
now we're going to lose
00:04:44.45\00:04:45.91
our entire investment.
00:04:45.95\00:04:47.28
Yeah.
00:04:47.32\00:04:48.65
And I told my youth
group that and they said, well,
00:04:48.68\00:04:50.02
if God, if the Holy
Spirit's talking to you,
00:04:50.05\00:04:51.92
you better listen.
00:04:51.95\00:04:53.29
That's right. Ooh. Okay.
00:04:53.32\00:04:55.79
Listen to the young
people. Yeah, there you go.
00:04:55.82\00:04:57.69
Amen.
00:04:57.73\00:04:59.06
So, I just like went
to the Lord in prayers,
00:04:59.09\00:05:01.70
like, Lord, do you
really want us to go?
00:05:01.73\00:05:03.40
And He said, "Who
gave you that house?"
00:05:03.43\00:05:06.33
I'm like you did.
00:05:06.37\00:05:07.74
He's like, "Can I have it back?"
00:05:07.77\00:05:09.80
I'm like, it's a nice house.
00:05:09.84\00:05:11.94
But I realized that
if I keep the house,
00:05:11.97\00:05:14.88
I keep the house.
00:05:14.91\00:05:16.41
But if I keep Him, He
can give me other houses.
00:05:16.44\00:05:19.45
He sure can.
00:05:19.48\00:05:20.82
So we sold the
house and sure enough,
00:05:20.85\00:05:22.18
we lost our investment
and we moved out here.
00:05:22.22\00:05:24.82
Yeah. Spent a
wonderful years here.
00:05:24.85\00:05:26.82
This feels like coming home.
00:05:26.86\00:05:28.96
You came in, you said '98,
00:05:28.99\00:05:30.93
I think you said and
you left in what year...
00:05:30.96\00:05:33.19
About 2000. 2000, October. Yeah.
00:05:33.23\00:05:35.16
And you came as an
animation type person, right?
00:05:35.20\00:05:37.30
Yes.
00:05:37.33\00:05:38.67
Which would be
like the moving graphics
00:05:38.70\00:05:40.04
and things that you see.
00:05:40.07\00:05:41.40
Yeah, yeah.
00:05:41.44\00:05:42.77
And one of the things
that I wanna do right here
00:05:42.80\00:05:44.21
may surprise you a little bit.
00:05:44.24\00:05:45.57
We went back in our archives
00:05:45.61\00:05:47.34
and we went back
to 3ABN on the road.
00:05:47.38\00:05:51.65
Now, if you've
watched 3ABN a long time,
00:05:51.68\00:05:53.55
this is something that
Jon would build back in what,
00:05:53.58\00:05:55.88
1999 maybe or so,
00:05:55.92\00:05:59.32
but it actually
fits today's topics.
00:05:59.35\00:06:01.39
So I wanna
actually go there, Jon.
00:06:01.42\00:06:03.09
You're surprised you get
to see your work from like
00:06:03.12\00:06:04.76
many, many, many,
many, many years ago.
00:06:04.79\00:06:06.19
So let's play that open
from about 20 years ago.
00:06:06.23\00:06:08.96
Wow.
00:06:09.00\00:06:10.33
And hello, I'm not
Pastor John Lomacang.
00:07:11.39\00:07:14.56
You just saw his name
00:07:14.60\00:07:15.93
and John Lomacang or wherever.
00:07:15.96\00:07:17.30
We're going back in time,
00:07:17.33\00:07:18.67
that open was created back
in the late 90s by Jon Wood
00:07:18.70\00:07:21.17
he's here on the
set with us today.
00:07:21.20\00:07:23.04
But I thought what was so
fitting for today's program.
00:07:23.07\00:07:26.24
I don't know if you saw those
words flying through there,
00:07:26.27\00:07:28.38
go ye into all the world.
00:07:28.41\00:07:31.35
And today's program is
about going into all the world,
00:07:31.38\00:07:33.45
but I don't know
if you saw Jon Wood,
00:07:33.48\00:07:35.82
you were part of that actually
open the one you created
00:07:35.85\00:07:37.82
when that lid is closing.
00:07:37.85\00:07:39.19
Yup.
00:07:39.22\00:07:40.56
Yup. You see her face.
00:07:40.59\00:07:41.92
Yeah, and that
was Bobby Davis doing
00:07:41.96\00:07:43.66
and he reversed the sound
to get that lid sealing sound.
00:07:43.69\00:07:47.23
Wow. Yeah, that's amazing.
00:07:47.26\00:07:48.60
And she was
actually on the truck.
00:07:48.63\00:07:50.10
I was on the road with
the truck at a meeting,
00:07:50.13\00:07:52.77
a camp meeting
somewhere or something.
00:07:52.80\00:07:54.77
And so, it's like really cool.
00:07:54.80\00:07:56.44
And we played it and I saw him.
00:07:56.47\00:07:59.14
Yeah, exactly,
that's my husband.
00:07:59.17\00:08:02.68
But you know, I
think about again,
00:08:02.71\00:08:04.05
you know, all the
work, you know, that we do,
00:08:04.08\00:08:06.48
it's never in vain
when we do it for the Lord.
00:08:06.51\00:08:09.82
And so, I think
about those opens,
00:08:09.85\00:08:11.19
yes, that's now back in the day,
00:08:11.22\00:08:13.05
we don't use that open anymore,
00:08:13.09\00:08:14.42
but whenever we
show those programs,
00:08:14.46\00:08:15.79
of course, that
open would be used.
00:08:15.82\00:08:17.16
But I'm thinking
about the work that you do,
00:08:17.19\00:08:18.53
what God's given you to do.
00:08:18.56\00:08:19.89
It's not in vain.
00:08:19.93\00:08:21.26
It could be just
picking up the phone
00:08:21.30\00:08:22.63
and calling somebody or
maybe writing a note to someone,
00:08:22.66\00:08:24.60
handing them a tract.
00:08:24.63\00:08:25.97
God has us here for a purpose.
00:08:26.00\00:08:28.17
So thank you for coming here
00:08:28.20\00:08:29.54
and being a
part of the ministry.
00:08:29.57\00:08:30.91
I know for like several years,
it's kind of a stepping stone
00:08:30.94\00:08:34.14
and then God moved
you into Jesus for Asia.
00:08:34.18\00:08:38.38
So, I wanna just mention
this to you 'cause I'm just,
00:08:38.41\00:08:40.55
my brain is going on
so many different things.
00:08:40.58\00:08:42.65
And if you know me,
well, my brain kind maybe like
00:08:42.68\00:08:44.72
a little squirrel, but tell
us about your kids because a lot
00:08:44.75\00:08:47.46
of people see your
children on the program.
00:08:47.49\00:08:49.52
So tell us their
ages, how they're doing
00:08:49.56\00:08:50.96
and what
they're up to right now?
00:08:50.99\00:08:52.79
Well, our son, James is 21
and he got married in December.
00:08:52.83\00:08:56.97
Oh, wow. Yeah.
00:08:57.00\00:08:58.33
He was born here.
00:08:58.37\00:08:59.70
Yes, he was, just remember that.
00:08:59.73\00:09:01.07
Yeah. Yup.
00:09:01.10\00:09:02.80
And then our daughter,
Marianne just turned 19
00:09:02.84\00:09:06.01
and just a couple
of weeks ago actually.
00:09:06.04\00:09:08.24
And she is going to be a nurse.
00:09:08.28\00:09:09.84
She is studying to be a nurse
up in Kalispell, Montana, so...
00:09:09.88\00:09:12.65
They've done a good
job on the programs too.
00:09:12.68\00:09:14.18
You know, we've
enjoyed seeing them kind
00:09:14.22\00:09:15.55
of grow up on
Jesus for Asia program.
00:09:15.58\00:09:17.72
Yeah.
00:09:17.75\00:09:19.09
And 3ABN is airing the
Mission Trek program also.
00:09:19.12\00:09:20.46
Yes. That's the
one we see a lot of.
00:09:20.49\00:09:22.36
Yeah. They did a
lot for that, so.
00:09:22.39\00:09:24.36
Did a good job too. Yeah.
00:09:24.39\00:09:25.79
Praise the Lord. For sure.
00:09:25.83\00:09:27.23
We're very grateful.
00:09:27.26\00:09:28.60
So then tell us about
Jesus for Asia, that transition
00:09:28.63\00:09:30.27
and how Jesus for Asia started?
00:09:30.30\00:09:32.47
Yeah. Well, we were
working here, loving it.
00:09:32.50\00:09:34.87
Okay.
00:09:34.90\00:09:36.24
And the Lord
called us to be a teacher
00:09:36.27\00:09:38.61
at Pacific Union
College to mentor others,
00:09:38.64\00:09:42.88
to multiply what
our passion was for.
00:09:42.91\00:09:47.28
And we were
there for five years.
00:09:47.32\00:09:49.75
And we felt like we wanted
to be more directly involved
00:09:49.78\00:09:53.82
with outreach because in 2001,
00:09:53.86\00:09:56.93
Danny and Garwin McNeilus
and Bob Paulson went to India.
00:09:56.96\00:10:01.53
They did.
00:10:01.56\00:10:02.90
And I was able to
go with them and I saw
00:10:02.93\00:10:04.27
40,000 people
sitting on the ground,
00:10:04.30\00:10:05.63
listening to an
evangelistic series.
00:10:05.67\00:10:07.20
That blew my mind.
00:10:07.24\00:10:08.57
It's like, I didn't
know there was people
00:10:08.60\00:10:09.94
out there that
wanted to hear the gospel.
00:10:09.97\00:10:12.47
You know, here in America,
00:10:12.51\00:10:14.01
it's like, everybody
kinda knows about it already,
00:10:14.04\00:10:16.88
kinda made their decision.
00:10:16.91\00:10:18.68
I mean, there's still a
lot of work to be done here.
00:10:18.71\00:10:20.55
There's no doubt about that.
00:10:20.58\00:10:21.92
And there's a deepening of our
understanding of the character
00:10:21.95\00:10:24.95
of Christ and everything
that needs to be done.
00:10:24.99\00:10:26.32
But over there, there's people
that have no clue that there
00:10:26.35\00:10:31.19
is a God and what
His name is or anything
00:10:31.23\00:10:33.70
and are open and interested.
00:10:33.73\00:10:35.33
Wow.
00:10:35.36\00:10:36.70
So this is brand new
information for them then,
00:10:36.73\00:10:38.17
that's what you think.
00:10:38.20\00:10:39.53
Yes. Wow.
00:10:39.57\00:10:40.90
You said 40,000
people sitting on the ground.
00:10:40.94\00:10:42.27
Yes, in Ongole, India. Yeah.
00:10:42.30\00:10:43.64
And so, I came
back with the burden.
00:10:43.67\00:10:45.27
It's like if it was up
to me, what would I do.
00:10:45.31\00:10:48.08
So I spent like two or
three almost four years
00:10:48.11\00:10:51.15
really praying about,
Lord, what do You want me to do?
00:10:51.18\00:10:54.98
And working here,
00:10:55.02\00:10:56.92
seeing my paycheck
being funded by Danny's faith,
00:10:56.95\00:11:01.79
you know, it's like, well,
00:11:01.82\00:11:03.43
if God can do that
for him, Matthew 6: 33,
00:11:03.46\00:11:06.29
will He do that?
00:11:06.33\00:11:07.66
Could, would He be
willing to do that for me?
00:11:07.70\00:11:09.70
Wow.
00:11:09.73\00:11:11.07
That's quite question
actually. Oh, it's huge.
00:11:11.10\00:11:13.20
Yeah. It's huge.
00:11:13.23\00:11:14.57
It's an important question.
It's a very important question.
00:11:14.60\00:11:16.20
Yeah.
00:11:16.24\00:11:17.57
And I started
thinking, you know, if God,
00:11:17.61\00:11:18.94
if I trust God with
my eternal salvation,
00:11:18.97\00:11:21.58
can't I trust Him
for my daily bread.
00:11:21.61\00:11:24.38
And so, in 2005,
00:11:24.41\00:11:27.42
she and I, we
were together on this.
00:11:27.45\00:11:31.62
That's the process that
he will take time to tell.
00:11:31.65\00:11:34.26
We told the story before. Yes.
00:11:34.29\00:11:36.83
So we just
launched out by faith.
00:11:36.86\00:11:39.69
We moved up to Idaho
00:11:39.73\00:11:41.26
and we surrendered our
week or monthly paycheck.
00:11:41.30\00:11:46.00
And we camped
out on Matthew 6:33.
00:11:46.03\00:11:48.80
And we started out
with Bible workers. Okay.
00:11:48.84\00:11:50.91
Would you tells us
what Matthew 6:33 is.
00:11:50.94\00:11:53.14
So what is that verse?
00:11:53.17\00:11:55.31
"Seek ye first the kingdom
of God and His righteousness
00:11:55.34\00:11:58.11
and all these things
shall be added unto you."
00:11:58.15\00:11:59.61
Yeah, powerful verse. Yeah.
00:11:59.65\00:12:01.15
Yeah. It blows
your mind. And it works.
00:12:01.18\00:12:03.45
Yeah.
00:12:03.49\00:12:04.82
So you camped out on
that verse so to speak?
00:12:04.85\00:12:06.19
Okay. Yeah. All right.
00:12:06.22\00:12:07.56
Here we are 16 years later. Yes.
00:12:07.59\00:12:10.13
And the Lord has blessed.
00:12:10.16\00:12:11.99
When we worry less about
00:12:12.03\00:12:14.90
what we're gonna
eat than we did back
00:12:14.93\00:12:17.17
when I had a regular job.
00:12:17.20\00:12:19.17
And the Lord has not
only blessed us as a family,
00:12:19.20\00:12:24.61
but He's also expanded
the ministry way beyond
00:12:24.64\00:12:27.48
what we had it
originally, I mean,
00:12:27.51\00:12:29.18
honestly I
figured that five years,
00:12:29.21\00:12:31.31
maybe four years
after we started a ministry,
00:12:31.35\00:12:33.18
Jesus would come
because the whole world
00:12:33.21\00:12:34.58
would be reached, but it feels
a lot more complex than that.
00:12:34.62\00:12:37.52
Sure. Yeah.
00:12:37.55\00:12:38.89
There's a lot of places
where there's not a lot going on
00:12:38.92\00:12:40.89
or there's
nothing going on still.
00:12:40.92\00:12:43.22
So even though
there's all these ministries,
00:12:43.26\00:12:45.39
you know, his dad went to ASI.
00:12:45.43\00:12:47.50
He's like, I see
all these ministries
00:12:47.53\00:12:49.06
and there's
still work to be done.
00:12:49.10\00:12:50.73
It's like, yes.
00:12:50.77\00:12:52.10
That's why all these ministries
are saying there's still
00:12:52.13\00:12:54.24
work to be done.
00:12:54.27\00:12:55.60
Amen. God needs all of us.
00:12:55.64\00:12:57.04
Right. Yes, for sure.
00:12:57.07\00:12:58.57
And that's why
we focused on Asia.
00:12:58.61\00:13:00.44
A lot of people say,
well, Asia, you know,
00:13:00.48\00:13:02.14
maybe later you'll
expand onto something else.
00:13:02.18\00:13:04.15
Well, Asia is 57% of
the world's population.
00:13:04.18\00:13:07.68
Fifty seven percent? Yeah.
00:13:07.72\00:13:09.48
That's a high percentage. Yeah.
00:13:09.52\00:13:11.22
More people live in Asia than
the rest of the world combined.
00:13:11.25\00:13:13.66
Yup.
00:13:13.69\00:13:15.02
Ninety percent of all unreached
people groups are in Asia.
00:13:15.06\00:13:19.19
And so, we figured
that's probably enough for us.
00:13:19.23\00:13:23.33
For one ministry. Yeah.
00:13:23.37\00:13:24.70
Wow.
00:13:24.73\00:13:26.07
So, 90%,
00:13:26.10\00:13:27.44
say that again 'cause those
are really powerful numbers.
00:13:27.47\00:13:29.37
Ninety percent of all unreached
people groups live in Asia.
00:13:29.40\00:13:33.98
So what's an
unreached people group?
00:13:34.01\00:13:35.54
An unreached people group
is less than 2% Christian.
00:13:35.58\00:13:38.51
So the likelihood,
00:13:38.55\00:13:39.98
if you live in a people group
with less than 2% Christian,
00:13:40.02\00:13:43.05
the likelihood
of learning the name
00:13:43.08\00:13:44.85
of Jesus in your
entire lifetime is, well,
00:13:44.89\00:13:49.59
it's just unlikely.
00:13:49.62\00:13:51.16
Yeah. Very, very unlikely.
00:13:51.19\00:13:53.03
You don't have Christian
bookstores on the corner.
00:13:53.06\00:13:55.86
And you've probably
never heard of a Bible.
00:13:55.90\00:13:58.53
The most exposure to
Christianity you have is,
00:13:58.57\00:14:01.54
you know, Hollywood,
00:14:01.57\00:14:03.74
you know, people
taking God's name in vain
00:14:03.77\00:14:05.94
and that's about it.
00:14:05.97\00:14:07.58
And so there's vast swaths
00:14:07.61\00:14:09.28
of God's vineyard that
are completely un-entered.
00:14:09.31\00:14:12.91
And it's overwhelming,
but with Christ promise,
00:14:12.95\00:14:17.89
we know that it can be done.
00:14:17.92\00:14:19.92
We just put
everything we have into it,
00:14:19.95\00:14:21.82
then God will pour out
the blessing to make up
00:14:21.86\00:14:23.86
what we have given and more.
00:14:23.89\00:14:26.43
Amen.
00:14:26.46\00:14:27.80
So you have like
a twofold vision.
00:14:27.83\00:14:30.13
Is that right?
00:14:30.17\00:14:31.50
So, maybe share with each one
00:14:31.53\00:14:32.87
of those aspects of your vision
00:14:32.90\00:14:34.57
and then we'll go into
more in depth what's happening?
00:14:34.60\00:14:36.94
Okay. Okay.
00:14:36.97\00:14:38.31
Well the first aspect
is to reach the unreached.
00:14:38.34\00:14:40.18
Yes. That's pretty obvious.
00:14:40.21\00:14:41.54
But the second aspect is
to reengage North America
00:14:41.58\00:14:45.11
with that process of
reaching the unreached.
00:14:45.15\00:14:47.68
Okay.
00:14:47.72\00:14:49.05
Because in many churches
funding over the last 70 years
00:14:49.08\00:14:53.86
has dropped
dramatically, drastically.
00:14:53.89\00:14:57.56
Funding for world
missions especially.
00:14:57.59\00:14:59.16
Funding for world
missions that God has.
00:14:59.19\00:15:00.83
So funding for world missions
00:15:00.86\00:15:02.93
and missionaries actually going
has dropped almost to the point
00:15:02.96\00:15:07.40
where we could say we've almost
abandoned foreign missions.
00:15:07.44\00:15:11.37
And that's sad. Yeah.
00:15:11.41\00:15:13.91
Wow. It shouldn't be.
00:15:13.94\00:15:15.41
It should not be. Yeah.
00:15:15.44\00:15:17.41
So that second fold
then, or aspect of the vision
00:15:17.45\00:15:20.12
is what you're
saying is to what engage,
00:15:20.15\00:15:21.68
you said North
America to actually be excited
00:15:21.72\00:15:24.15
about sponsoring missions
in other parts of the world?
00:15:24.19\00:15:26.99
Absolutely, because... Yeah.
00:15:27.02\00:15:28.36
Being a part of it in
whatever way God asked them.
00:15:28.39\00:15:30.43
Because you know,
00:15:30.46\00:15:31.79
that's kinda the only way
that we can truly be selfless.
00:15:31.83\00:15:34.36
You know, when we give
to our local church budget,
00:15:34.40\00:15:36.43
which is good
and needs to be done,
00:15:36.46\00:15:38.43
but that's like
extending our lifestyle.
00:15:38.47\00:15:40.80
You know, we
don't wanna go to church
00:15:40.84\00:15:43.10
where there's no
air conditioning.
00:15:43.14\00:15:45.21
Oh, yeah.
00:15:45.24\00:15:47.04
But when we give
money to foreign missions,
00:15:47.08\00:15:49.24
it's like, it's gone, you know?
00:15:49.28\00:15:51.38
And by faith, we
expect to see it again,
00:15:51.41\00:15:54.72
the return on
investment in the future.
00:15:54.75\00:15:56.79
In heaven. Amen. Yeah.
00:15:56.82\00:15:58.15
Praise the Lord.
00:15:58.19\00:15:59.52
So, we've all
heard about COVID, right?
00:15:59.55\00:16:02.16
And so, COVID seems to
affect the entire world.
00:16:02.19\00:16:04.33
So I'm gonna ask you
this question, Natalie.
00:16:04.36\00:16:05.69
So how has COVID-19
affected Jesus for Asia?
00:16:05.73\00:16:08.80
Tell me how, 'cause I mean,
00:16:08.83\00:16:10.17
it seems like it
shut everything down.
00:16:10.20\00:16:11.73
We really couldn't travel much.
00:16:11.77\00:16:13.10
And so, how did it
affect Jesus for Asia?
00:16:13.13\00:16:14.60
Well, amazingly enough,
00:16:14.64\00:16:16.27
God used it to
expand Jesus for Asia.
00:16:16.30\00:16:19.47
Okay. Now how?
00:16:19.51\00:16:20.84
He has kept us more busy...
00:16:20.88\00:16:22.21
Really? With, yeah.
00:16:22.24\00:16:24.11
With what He's
been doing since COVID
00:16:24.15\00:16:26.28
started than we were before.
00:16:26.31\00:16:29.12
And one of the major ways
that we've seen this happen
00:16:29.15\00:16:32.22
is with our
evening schools in India.
00:16:32.25\00:16:34.52
And it's there in areas
00:16:34.56\00:16:37.86
where the people are
very poor in the first place.
00:16:37.89\00:16:40.73
And so, when
everybody lost their jobs,
00:16:40.76\00:16:43.10
then they're even more poor.
00:16:43.13\00:16:44.97
And so, they were
looking at their children
00:16:45.00\00:16:47.24
and they were seeing
like my child is gonna starve.
00:16:47.27\00:16:50.77
My family is gonna starve
00:16:50.81\00:16:52.14
'cause I have no
way to feed them.
00:16:52.17\00:16:53.71
But then they would find
out about our evening schools
00:16:53.74\00:16:55.81
and they would
send their kids there
00:16:55.84\00:16:57.55
and their kids
would get a free meal.
00:16:57.58\00:16:58.98
Oh, wow.
00:16:59.01\00:17:00.35
And if the family came too,
00:17:00.38\00:17:01.85
they would feed the whole family
00:17:01.88\00:17:03.82
because they were
not turning anyone away.
00:17:03.85\00:17:05.39
So mom and dad
would also get food?
00:17:05.42\00:17:07.16
Right. They would
not turn anyone away.
00:17:07.19\00:17:09.69
And so, then they
started realizing,
00:17:09.72\00:17:11.66
I mean, a lot of these people
00:17:11.69\00:17:13.03
in these poor
villages are Hindu.
00:17:13.06\00:17:14.40
Okay.
00:17:14.43\00:17:15.76
And they would realize
our temple's not doing this.
00:17:15.80\00:17:17.97
These Christians are doing this.
00:17:18.00\00:17:20.17
And then they would wonder why.
00:17:20.20\00:17:22.74
So we have a lot of stories,
but there's one from this time.
00:17:22.77\00:17:27.48
We've got a picture if
they wanna show the picture.
00:17:27.51\00:17:30.41
And I love stories too.
00:17:30.45\00:17:31.78
And as they get
those pictures ready,
00:17:31.81\00:17:33.15
there's a picture right there.
00:17:33.18\00:17:34.52
Yeah.
00:17:34.55\00:17:35.88
There's a picture of some kids
at one of our evenings schools.
00:17:35.92\00:17:37.25
Yeah.
00:17:37.29\00:17:38.62
And originally, you know,
obviously we're there to feed
00:17:38.65\00:17:40.29
and educate the
kids, but what's happened
00:17:40.32\00:17:43.43
is these kids have
gotten a hold of the gospel
00:17:43.46\00:17:46.43
and then we go
to the next picture,
00:17:46.46\00:17:47.80
you'll see.
00:17:47.83\00:17:49.16
Now they're starting to pray.
00:17:49.20\00:17:50.53
Are they praying together?
They're praying over someone.
00:17:50.57\00:17:52.93
Oh, someone is under the hands.
00:17:52.97\00:17:54.60
We go to the next
picture you can see
00:17:54.64\00:17:56.00
the person under their hands.
00:17:56.04\00:17:57.37
There you go. Oh, yeah.
00:17:57.41\00:17:58.74
This lady had kidney failure.
00:17:58.77\00:18:00.68
And so, she came to
the evening school there
00:18:00.71\00:18:03.31
and the children
started praying for her
00:18:03.35\00:18:05.45
and she was healed.
00:18:05.48\00:18:06.88
And these children
are Hindu backgrounds?
00:18:06.92\00:18:08.78
Lot of them.
00:18:08.82\00:18:10.15
They or most of
them are not baptized.
00:18:10.19\00:18:11.55
Yup.
00:18:11.59\00:18:13.76
And a lot of them, they
don't even come to church
00:18:13.79\00:18:15.29
on a regular basis,
00:18:15.32\00:18:16.73
but that's what
our evening schools do.
00:18:16.76\00:18:18.33
We tutor them in their
local language class work.
00:18:18.36\00:18:22.53
And during COVID,
00:18:22.56\00:18:23.90
a lot of the
government schools were closed.
00:18:23.93\00:18:25.50
So we would actually, they were
actually giving them class work
00:18:25.53\00:18:28.04
and helping them to
continue their class work,
00:18:28.07\00:18:30.97
so that they wouldn't be behind
00:18:31.01\00:18:32.44
whenever the
schools could open again.
00:18:32.47\00:18:35.21
And then we do a free
meal, like we've talked about,
00:18:35.24\00:18:38.85
but then we also
have a worship time.
00:18:38.88\00:18:40.92
And so, they hear
stories about Jesus.
00:18:40.95\00:18:43.18
They hear
character building stories.
00:18:43.22\00:18:45.09
They learn to be
respectful to their parents
00:18:45.12\00:18:47.06
and different things like that.
00:18:47.09\00:18:48.62
And...
00:18:48.66\00:18:49.99
Parents love it.
00:18:50.03\00:18:51.36
Yeah, the parents and we
have stories from families
00:18:51.39\00:18:53.73
that are now coming to church
00:18:53.76\00:18:55.10
because they didn't want to send
00:18:55.13\00:18:56.87
their child to
this Christian school.
00:18:56.90\00:18:58.27
They were like, no,
because there'll be like
00:18:58.30\00:18:59.67
after them to become Christian.
00:18:59.70\00:19:01.54
But then they
were asking their child
00:19:01.57\00:19:03.57
after their child had
gone there a few days,
00:19:03.61\00:19:05.14
they were like, what
are you learning there?
00:19:05.17\00:19:06.74
Well, I'm learning to be
respectful to my parents,
00:19:06.78\00:19:08.81
to be kind to others, you
know, these kinds of things.
00:19:08.84\00:19:11.15
And the father's
like, this is interesting.
00:19:11.18\00:19:14.95
And then the family
started coming to church
00:19:14.98\00:19:16.99
and then started
having Bible studies.
00:19:17.02\00:19:19.32
And so, it's like, it's
such a huge opening wrench.
00:19:19.35\00:19:23.56
We hold these evening
schools in the church.
00:19:23.59\00:19:27.20
So the church
becomes familiar to them,
00:19:27.23\00:19:30.63
not like this weird space
that belongs to the Christians
00:19:30.67\00:19:34.70
and they see that the
church is there to bless people,
00:19:34.74\00:19:37.34
you know? So
evening schools then.
00:19:37.37\00:19:39.37
So tell me a little bit
more about the evening school.
00:19:39.41\00:19:41.48
So how many of these do you have
00:19:41.51\00:19:42.84
and when you say we're teaching
them, are you two over there?
00:19:42.88\00:19:47.62
Tell me how many you
have and how that works?
00:19:47.65\00:19:49.42
So right now we have 19.
00:19:49.45\00:19:51.45
And we're just
getting ready to open
00:19:51.49\00:19:52.82
another 10, 10
to15, Lord's willing.
00:19:52.85\00:19:55.82
That's almost doubling
what you currently have.
00:19:55.86\00:19:57.49
Yeah. Yeah.
00:19:57.53\00:19:58.86
We doubled it
last year, actually.
00:19:58.89\00:20:00.50
Did you really
during COVID? Yeah.
00:20:00.53\00:20:03.93
Praise the Lord. That's it.
00:20:03.97\00:20:05.33
Praise God. Yeah.
00:20:05.37\00:20:06.70
He and a team of people went
over last January just before
00:20:06.74\00:20:10.54
and right after they left
00:20:10.57\00:20:12.47
is when everything
locked down the first time.
00:20:12.51\00:20:15.04
And then they opened the second,
00:20:15.08\00:20:17.58
the next 10.
00:20:17.61\00:20:18.95
So the evening school,
it consists of a principal,
00:20:18.98\00:20:21.85
who is usually a local pastor.
00:20:21.88\00:20:23.79
Or a Bible worker or a pastor.
00:20:23.82\00:20:25.35
And then teachers
00:20:25.39\00:20:27.66
and they can be local
teachers and then a cook.
00:20:27.69\00:20:31.29
We have Hindu teachers.
00:20:31.33\00:20:32.66
Oh, wow. Which is
a good witness too.
00:20:32.69\00:20:34.60
Yes, it is. Oh, yeah.
00:20:34.63\00:20:35.96
The Hindus come, can you pray,
00:20:36.00\00:20:37.33
my daughter's not
getting pregnant or something
00:20:37.37\00:20:39.03
like that usually.
00:20:39.07\00:20:40.40
Then we have a cook
00:20:40.44\00:20:41.94
and we currently,
actually, since we began,
00:20:41.97\00:20:46.07
which is like 15 years ago,
00:20:46.11\00:20:49.04
it's always stayed
$7 per month per child.
00:20:49.08\00:20:52.01
Yeah. God has
really handed. Really?
00:20:52.05\00:20:54.58
For all this time? Yeah.
00:20:54.62\00:20:55.95
Even with the cost of...
00:20:55.98\00:20:57.52
Seven dollars
per month to do what?
00:20:57.55\00:20:59.42
To feed the child.
00:20:59.45\00:21:00.79
Feed them and provide two
hours of education every night.
00:21:00.82\00:21:04.39
And of course the
gospel and stuff like that.
00:21:04.43\00:21:06.26
So...
00:21:06.29\00:21:07.63
That's a quarter a day.
00:21:07.66\00:21:09.00
I mean, that's why
you're talking about getting
00:21:09.03\00:21:10.43
North America
involved because $7.
00:21:10.47\00:21:12.60
Yes.
00:21:12.63\00:21:13.97
It's something,
but it's not that much.
00:21:14.00\00:21:15.34
You think about how quickly
we can spend $7 on something.
00:21:15.37\00:21:17.44
Yeah.
00:21:17.47\00:21:18.81
And that this
will then feed a child.
00:21:18.84\00:21:20.51
Right.
00:21:20.54\00:21:21.88
And give them two hours a week.
00:21:21.91\00:21:24.15
Per night. Per night.
00:21:24.18\00:21:25.51
Six nights a week
for a whole month.
00:21:25.55\00:21:28.02
They don't do at Sabbath
night because the cooking,
00:21:28.05\00:21:31.32
they don't
wanna cook on Sabbath.
00:21:31.35\00:21:32.89
So they do cook and
then sundown Friday,
00:21:32.92\00:21:35.69
they have the Friday
evening won't be doing this.
00:21:35.72\00:21:38.09
So I'm gonna put you
on the spot here on this,
00:21:38.13\00:21:39.46
you know, it may be
hard even calculate all this.
00:21:39.49\00:21:41.50
So the evening schools you
have 19 right now, correct?
00:21:41.53\00:21:44.50
Do you have any
idea of how many children
00:21:44.53\00:21:46.10
you've impacted
maybe in like last year?
00:21:46.13\00:21:49.84
Or do you have any idea?
00:21:49.87\00:21:52.11
So we average about 35
kids per school per night.
00:21:52.14\00:21:56.44
Times 19, times 6, times 52.
00:21:56.48\00:21:59.71
Got it? Yeah, I mean.
00:21:59.75\00:22:01.62
So we need a
phone or a calculator.
00:22:01.65\00:22:04.29
I'm sure someone got it.
That's a lot of children.
00:22:04.32\00:22:06.55
Right.
00:22:06.59\00:22:07.92
We figured that
since the beginning
00:22:07.96\00:22:09.29
we've fed about
600,000, given 600,000 meals
00:22:09.32\00:22:14.56
from the beginning of all that.
00:22:14.60\00:22:16.63
And as a boy, I
loved to throw stones
00:22:16.67\00:22:18.63
and I would throw
stones in our pond.
00:22:18.67\00:22:20.44
And when you throw
a stone in the pond,
00:22:20.47\00:22:21.87
the ripple would start
out small and get bigger
00:22:21.90\00:22:23.81
and bigger and bigger.
00:22:23.84\00:22:25.17
So I don't wanna
compare children with stones,
00:22:25.21\00:22:27.61
but I'm thinking of a child
00:22:27.64\00:22:28.98
is now going
back to their family.
00:22:29.01\00:22:31.51
Yes.
00:22:31.55\00:22:32.88
And that ripple
gets a little bit bigger.
00:22:32.91\00:22:34.25
'Cause mom and dad,
you're seeing are coming to some
00:22:34.28\00:22:35.75
of these programs too.
00:22:35.78\00:22:37.12
And then maybe
grandma and grandpa and uncle
00:22:37.15\00:22:38.65
and aunty, and it
gets bigger and bigger.
00:22:38.69\00:22:40.56
You have no idea the amount
of people you've affected.
00:22:40.59\00:22:42.36
Right.
00:22:42.39\00:22:43.73
Well, the beautiful thing
is that when we first started,
00:22:43.76\00:22:46.03
those kids are now the
leaders in the community.
00:22:46.06\00:22:49.26
Oh, praise God..
00:22:49.30\00:22:50.63
They have their own families
and they had like a wedding
00:22:50.67\00:22:53.34
and they all got together
00:22:53.37\00:22:54.70
and they were
comparing among themselves,
00:22:54.74\00:22:57.07
their friends that
went to the evening schools
00:22:57.11\00:22:59.11
versus those that didn't.
00:22:59.14\00:23:00.71
And what a
difference in life they had.
00:23:00.74\00:23:02.51
Yeah.
00:23:02.54\00:23:03.88
The ones that went to
the evening, schools were
00:23:03.91\00:23:05.25
leaders in the community,
00:23:05.28\00:23:06.61
you know, they
were government workers,
00:23:06.65\00:23:07.98
they had stable jobs and
the ones that didn't were
00:23:08.02\00:23:10.45
a lot more likely to
be the village alcoholic,
00:23:10.49\00:23:13.36
you know, or
separated marriage or,
00:23:13.39\00:23:15.69
you know, things like that.
00:23:15.72\00:23:17.06
They just, they
saw the difference.
00:23:17.09\00:23:19.03
Yeah. So how do you fund this?
00:23:19.06\00:23:20.90
And I know we're gonna
go to an address break here,
00:23:20.93\00:23:22.36
you know, toward
the end of this program,
00:23:22.40\00:23:23.73
but how do you fund, I mean all
of these I'm thinking programs?
00:23:23.77\00:23:27.54
Right.
00:23:27.57\00:23:28.90
You're talking $7
and paying these teachers
00:23:28.94\00:23:30.27
and the food,
how does this happen?
00:23:30.31\00:23:31.84
So we're the pipe that people
with a heart for these kids.
00:23:31.87\00:23:37.21
So you mean Jesus
for Asia is the pipe?
00:23:37.25\00:23:39.01
Right. Yes.
00:23:39.05\00:23:40.38
And so, they send
funds to Jesus for Asia.
00:23:40.42\00:23:42.88
It's all by donations. Yeah.
00:23:42.92\00:23:44.25
We don't sell things
to try to raise money.
00:23:44.29\00:23:47.89
We just pray. Right.
00:23:47.92\00:23:49.26
And if there's a need, we
pray harder and God provides.
00:23:49.29\00:23:52.49
And the reason for
that is we found that giving
00:23:52.53\00:23:55.00
is a blessing.
00:23:55.03\00:23:56.56
How was it a blessing?
00:23:56.60\00:23:57.93
Well, they love to
know that their little,
00:23:57.97\00:23:59.70
you know, $7 or 7,000
00:23:59.73\00:24:02.07
is gonna make a
difference in somebody's life.
00:24:02.10\00:24:04.94
You know, that's better than
buying something at a store.
00:24:04.97\00:24:08.01
You're right.
00:24:08.04\00:24:09.38
We had one donor who is like
"I can't go to Walmart anymore
00:24:09.41\00:24:11.41
'cause everything, I see
the prices and it's like,
00:24:11.45\00:24:13.48
that could buy, you
know, that could fund."
00:24:13.52\00:24:15.98
Yeah. A meal or
several meals or education.
00:24:16.02\00:24:18.95
Yeah. Right. Wow.
00:24:18.99\00:24:20.32
So, you know, if
somebody donates $10 for any
00:24:20.36\00:24:23.36
of our projects,
a 100% of that goes.
00:24:23.39\00:24:25.89
Okay.
00:24:25.93\00:24:27.26
So we don't, so
it's like, we're in it,
00:24:27.30\00:24:28.63
we want to do this.
00:24:28.66\00:24:30.00
It's like, we're not trying
to make a living off of this.
00:24:30.03\00:24:31.37
Yeah, you're correct. Yeah.
00:24:31.40\00:24:32.73
And so, we're like partnering
we're together on this.
00:24:32.77\00:24:34.57
So, we get the
blessing of seeing the kids,
00:24:34.60\00:24:36.74
the donors get the
blessing of knowing.
00:24:36.77\00:24:38.87
And sometimes we're
able to hear the stories
00:24:38.91\00:24:40.74
and stuff like that.
00:24:40.78\00:24:42.11
It's a blessing
all the way around.
00:24:42.14\00:24:43.48
And you know, the other
reason we do it this way
00:24:43.51\00:24:45.31
is because it's a character
00:24:45.35\00:24:48.65
development opportunity
to become less selfish.
00:24:48.68\00:24:53.59
You know, there's not that
many places here in America
00:24:53.62\00:24:56.36
where we can
really put our money
00:24:56.39\00:24:58.53
and know that it's
making a difference.
00:24:58.56\00:24:59.89
Yeah. Wow.
00:24:59.93\00:25:01.26
And so, this is an
opportunity to be selfless
00:25:01.30\00:25:03.60
and to be more like
Christ to reach those that are,
00:25:03.63\00:25:06.37
you know, least
of these my brother.
00:25:06.40\00:25:07.74
Well, I know the
3ABN stands a 1000%
00:25:07.77\00:25:09.77
behind Jesus for
Asia, that's for sure.
00:25:09.80\00:25:11.71
You know, 'cause
it's a great ministry,
00:25:11.74\00:25:13.07
you know, we know, this couple,
of course you've watched 3ABN.
00:25:13.11\00:25:14.91
They've been on
giving multiple updates
00:25:14.94\00:25:16.51
and I wanna transition.
00:25:16.54\00:25:17.88
Should we go to
Thailand then right now,
00:25:17.91\00:25:19.58
this be a good transition
what's happening in Thailand?
00:25:19.61\00:25:21.42
So tell us
what's happening there?
00:25:21.45\00:25:22.78
Give us an
update what's happening?
00:25:22.82\00:25:24.15
Okay. All right.
00:25:24.19\00:25:25.52
Well, Thailand is
a beautiful country
00:25:25.55\00:25:27.52
and it's actually less reached
than India percentage wise.
00:25:27.56\00:25:32.83
Okay. Yeah.
00:25:32.86\00:25:34.20
So there's vast parts of India
00:25:34.23\00:25:35.56
that have no
Adventists or even...
00:25:35.60\00:25:37.57
Thailand. Yeah. Did I say India?
00:25:37.60\00:25:39.47
That's vast parts of
Thailand that had like
00:25:39.50\00:25:42.50
there's entire provinces,
not a single Adventist.
00:25:42.54\00:25:44.97
Yeah.
00:25:45.01\00:25:46.34
So province would be,
you're talking like...
00:25:46.37\00:25:47.71
It's like a state.
00:25:47.74\00:25:49.08
Oh, so you're
talking thousands of people?
00:25:49.11\00:25:50.45
Oh, yeah. Millions?
00:25:50.48\00:25:52.01
There's about 70
million people in Thailand.
00:25:52.05\00:25:53.92
Okay.
00:25:53.95\00:25:55.28
So, but you're
saying a province,
00:25:55.32\00:25:56.65
you're saying some
provinces don't even have,
00:25:56.69\00:25:58.02
did you say Christian
or a Seventh-day Adventist?
00:25:58.05\00:25:59.45
Seventh-day Adventist for sure.
00:25:59.49\00:26:00.82
There are no
Seventh-day Adventists. Right?
00:26:00.86\00:26:02.19
Yeah. And very few Christians.
00:26:02.22\00:26:03.56
Yeah.
00:26:03.59\00:26:04.93
And so, we were
traveling up in 2012
00:26:04.96\00:26:07.60
through the Northern part of,
00:26:07.63\00:26:09.03
the Northern part of the
central plain of Thailand
00:26:09.06\00:26:12.77
and came across the
city called Sukhothai.
00:26:12.80\00:26:15.64
And it's a beautiful
city. It's the ancient capital.
00:26:15.67\00:26:17.84
Yeah. Okay.
00:26:17.87\00:26:19.21
And absolutely
zero Adventists at all.
00:26:19.24\00:26:22.48
And I'm like, why
is there no Adventists,
00:26:22.51\00:26:25.31
there should be
Adventist here, right?
00:26:25.35\00:26:27.52
I mean, don't you think?
00:26:27.55\00:26:28.88
There should be
Adventists everywhere.
00:26:28.92\00:26:30.25
Why not?
00:26:30.29\00:26:31.62
I mean, and so, I'm like,
00:26:31.65\00:26:32.99
Lord, we need to
put Adventists here.
00:26:33.02\00:26:35.29
And He's like, how much do
you care about the unreached?
00:26:35.32\00:26:39.39
You know, what kind
of investment are you
00:26:39.43\00:26:40.96
willing to make for the lost?
00:26:41.00\00:26:42.53
And I'm
thinking, well, Christ made
00:26:42.56\00:26:44.03
a pretty decent
investment, but I'm like,
00:26:44.07\00:26:46.20
Lord, I'm really
busy. What do I do?
00:26:46.23\00:26:48.07
So I've been praying
over the last 10 years.
00:26:48.10\00:26:50.84
And finally we started
to say, well, you know what?
00:26:50.87\00:26:54.64
A place that has this much
00:26:54.68\00:26:58.45
or this few
Christians really is a place
00:26:58.48\00:27:02.18
where devil has had free reign.
00:27:02.22\00:27:05.35
And so, this is
a spiritual battle.
00:27:05.39\00:27:07.09
You know, Paul says,
00:27:07.12\00:27:08.46
"If any are lost,
00:27:08.49\00:27:09.82
they're lost because
they are blinded by the God
00:27:09.86\00:27:11.76
of this world, which is Satan."
00:27:11.79\00:27:13.13
Correct.
00:27:13.16\00:27:14.50
So he comes in and
he blinds their minds.
00:27:14.53\00:27:15.86
So even if the gospel came
in, they wouldn't recognize it.
00:27:15.90\00:27:18.40
Wow.
00:27:18.43\00:27:19.77
It's like Nicodemus
sitting in front of Jesus,
00:27:19.80\00:27:21.87
not recognizing this is...
00:27:21.90\00:27:23.51
Yeah, the Son of God.
00:27:23.54\00:27:24.87
And so, it's
like our primary goal
00:27:24.91\00:27:27.28
then is to bind Satan
from binding their eyes.
00:27:27.31\00:27:31.55
And so, we started
doing a prayer walk.
00:27:31.58\00:27:33.25
We did a prayer walk,
a couple of prayer walks
00:27:33.28\00:27:35.02
through this unreached city.
00:27:35.05\00:27:36.82
Yeah. I think we did
three or four of them.
00:27:36.85\00:27:38.82
Yeah. Were you there?
00:27:38.85\00:27:40.56
I was there for one of
them. At least one of them.
00:27:40.59\00:27:43.19
Yeah.
00:27:43.22\00:27:44.56
We did one
actually with Mission Trek.
00:27:44.59\00:27:45.93
Oh, yeah. That's
one of the episodes.
00:27:45.96\00:27:47.30
We did a prayer
walk in Sukhothai.
00:27:47.33\00:27:49.23
So the main religion there?
00:27:49.26\00:27:51.27
Well, it's Buddhism,
00:27:51.30\00:27:52.63
but it's underlined,
00:27:52.67\00:27:54.00
it's a thin veneer over animism,
00:27:54.04\00:27:55.37
which is spirit worship.
00:27:55.40\00:27:57.21
So when you're
doing this prayer walk,
00:27:57.24\00:27:58.61
are you
actually praying out loud
00:27:58.64\00:27:59.97
or you're just walking
and praying in your mind?
00:28:00.01\00:28:01.44
I mean, how does this prayer
walk work in a city like this?
00:28:01.48\00:28:03.65
Yeah, when we were there
00:28:03.68\00:28:05.01
as a group, we
would pray out loud.
00:28:05.05\00:28:06.38
Wow.
00:28:06.41\00:28:07.75
Because we wanna be able
to agree with each other,
00:28:07.78\00:28:09.42
you know, because where
two or three are gathered,
00:28:09.45\00:28:11.75
you know, there He is.
00:28:11.79\00:28:13.42
So God was there.
00:28:13.46\00:28:14.82
And God's word is
powerful, so we spoke it.
00:28:14.86\00:28:17.63
And also we claim Joshua 1:6,
00:28:17.66\00:28:19.79
I believe says, "Wherever
you put the sole of your foot."
00:28:19.83\00:28:22.06
Oh, yes. Amen.
00:28:22.10\00:28:23.43
"I've already given to you."
00:28:23.47\00:28:25.43
So we're walking
around, "God, thank you."
00:28:25.47\00:28:28.40
So doing these
prayer walks? Yes.
00:28:28.44\00:28:29.94
Right. And what happened?
00:28:29.97\00:28:31.47
Well just a couple of years ago,
00:28:31.51\00:28:34.38
three years ago, a
family in Virginia,
00:28:34.41\00:28:36.91
we did a little presentation.
00:28:36.95\00:28:39.61
And they were like,
you know, they want to go,
00:28:39.65\00:28:41.82
"God's calling us.
Where should we go?"
00:28:41.85\00:28:44.15
I'm like, "Sukhothai."
00:28:44.19\00:28:45.59
That's the city.
00:28:45.62\00:28:47.06
And so, they sold their house,
00:28:47.09\00:28:49.12
sold everything,
moved over there.
00:28:49.16\00:28:51.66
And I said, your primary purpose
00:28:51.69\00:28:53.80
is to host the Holy Spirit.
00:28:53.83\00:28:55.96
Is to connect with God
so that you are a beachhead,
00:28:56.00\00:28:59.63
you know, like Normandy, okay?
00:28:59.67\00:29:01.00
You are the
beachhead for the angels
00:29:01.04\00:29:03.64
and God to come in and
start moving in this place.
00:29:03.67\00:29:06.98
Wow. That's an
incredible thought.
00:29:07.01\00:29:08.84
So you've actually said be
a place that the Holy Spirit
00:29:08.88\00:29:10.95
or to host, is
that what you said?
00:29:10.98\00:29:12.45
Right. Host the Holy Spirit.
00:29:12.48\00:29:14.92
You know, we don't
think about that often enough.
00:29:14.95\00:29:16.69
No.
00:29:16.72\00:29:18.12
Because, you know we're
told in the scriptures that this
00:29:18.15\00:29:21.02
is a spiritual
battle, but what we see
00:29:21.06\00:29:23.83
is not the reality of
what's going on in this world.
00:29:23.86\00:29:27.16
And so, we often think
about it from what we see,
00:29:27.20\00:29:30.13
you know, we look around
00:29:30.17\00:29:31.50
what are the needs in this area?
00:29:31.53\00:29:32.87
What can we do to help people?
00:29:32.90\00:29:34.50
But we don't
think about the behind
00:29:34.54\00:29:35.90
the scenes that God has
to break down the barriers,
00:29:35.94\00:29:38.77
the spiritual
barriers in people's lives
00:29:38.81\00:29:40.61
before we can really
have freedom to tell them.
00:29:40.64\00:29:44.28
And so, they moved there.
00:29:44.31\00:29:46.72
We have a picture
of them, their family.
00:29:46.75\00:29:48.62
Yeah, with them being
sensitive to the Holy Spirit,
00:29:48.65\00:29:50.89
they have planted the church.
00:29:50.92\00:29:52.69
Oh, wow. They have
purchased property.
00:29:52.72\00:29:54.52
We're still paying that
for that property outside
00:29:54.56\00:29:57.19
of the city because
they have collected,
00:29:57.23\00:29:59.66
shall we say, how many kids now?
00:29:59.69\00:30:02.76
Eleven? Yes.
00:30:02.80\00:30:04.53
Yeah, I think 11. Eleven.
00:30:04.57\00:30:06.03
This is it. Yeah. Yeah.
00:30:06.07\00:30:07.40
This is their family So they've
hired workers to help them
00:30:07.44\00:30:10.01
with cooking and
teaching and training.
00:30:10.04\00:30:12.41
And there...
00:30:12.44\00:30:13.78
Was it a family of
four, three, how many...
00:30:13.81\00:30:15.14
It was a family of
eight. Eight, okay.
00:30:15.18\00:30:16.98
Three of them, three of the
older kids stayed in America.
00:30:17.01\00:30:19.81
Family of eight
children. Okay, sure.
00:30:19.85\00:30:21.18
So the three older
ones stayed in America.
00:30:21.22\00:30:23.22
So they went over with five.
00:30:23.25\00:30:24.65
Okay. And look at all
that the gain then and there.
00:30:24.69\00:30:26.65
Wow. That is awesome.
00:30:26.69\00:30:28.09
Yeah. It's
beautiful Thai children.
00:30:28.12\00:30:30.06
And they have their
workers in there too.
00:30:30.09\00:30:31.59
God sent them a fairly
new Adventist to be a teacher
00:30:31.63\00:30:35.76
for these kids.
00:30:35.80\00:30:37.13
And so, it's just
been a beautiful thing
00:30:37.17\00:30:38.83
to see what God's doing.
00:30:38.87\00:30:40.20
He's making their ministry
expand like breathtakingly
00:30:40.24\00:30:43.91
rapidly and
they're new missionaries.
00:30:43.94\00:30:46.57
You know, he grew up
kind of as a missionary,
00:30:46.61\00:30:48.54
his father and his grandfather
were both mission pilots,
00:30:48.58\00:30:51.28
but his wife, I
mean, Casey was not.
00:30:51.31\00:30:54.72
And so, for her, it's
like... Quite a shock?
00:30:54.75\00:30:57.29
Yeah.
00:30:57.32\00:30:58.65
But as long as
they keep holding,
00:30:58.69\00:31:00.02
we keep telling
them, just hold on,
00:31:00.06\00:31:01.89
you know, just follow as God
leads at the pace that He leads
00:31:01.92\00:31:05.73
and He will enable,
00:31:05.76\00:31:07.36
you know, don't get discouraged
because it's going so fast
00:31:07.40\00:31:10.33
and it feels like
there's not enough of you.
00:31:10.37\00:31:12.63
You know, God will provide.
00:31:12.67\00:31:14.40
His best friend
is a Buddhist monk.
00:31:14.44\00:31:16.71
Yup. Oh, wow.
00:31:16.74\00:31:18.07
Yeah. That's incredible.
00:31:18.11\00:31:19.44
This is how the Lord leads Wow.
00:31:19.47\00:31:20.84
It's really neat. Yeah.
00:31:20.88\00:31:22.21
That's fantastic.
00:31:22.24\00:31:23.58
So you said then that
they've planted a church.
00:31:23.61\00:31:24.95
Right. That's right.
00:31:24.98\00:31:26.31
And they've got a
little piece of property just
00:31:26.35\00:31:27.68
outside the city?
00:31:27.72\00:31:29.05
Yep. Right.
00:31:29.08\00:31:30.42
Where they're building
the children's homes. Okay.
00:31:30.45\00:31:31.79
And then how many
people are attending church?
00:31:31.82\00:31:33.15
Do you even have
an idea of the number?
00:31:33.19\00:31:34.52
They started that by
faith. There's several.
00:31:34.56\00:31:36.22
And there's COVID. Oh,
true. But they show up.
00:31:36.26\00:31:38.46
Their family and
they've already got
00:31:38.49\00:31:40.20
a big church.
00:31:40.23\00:31:41.56
Yeah. That's true.
00:31:41.60\00:31:42.93
That's a good point.
00:31:42.96\00:31:44.30
But with all their workers,
their workers were Adventist,
00:31:44.33\00:31:46.30
but not
necessarily deep in the truth.
00:31:46.33\00:31:49.00
Right. Most of them, yeah.
00:31:49.04\00:31:50.64
One of them, their
cook, is not an Adventist.
00:31:50.67\00:31:53.14
And so, it's been
interesting to see
00:31:53.17\00:31:55.74
what their
relationships, you know, doing.
00:31:55.78\00:31:58.48
See, because we
take for granted.
00:31:58.51\00:31:59.98
You know, we say
there's Adventists
00:32:00.02\00:32:01.35
where we think we know that
they believe in resurrection,
00:32:01.38\00:32:04.85
you know, stuff like that.
00:32:04.89\00:32:06.22
The state of the dead. Yeah.
00:32:06.25\00:32:07.59
A lot of people in
Thailand and some of these other
00:32:07.62\00:32:10.06
countries that haven't grown
up in a Christian background,
00:32:10.09\00:32:13.50
they don't know like even
things like what is salvation?
00:32:13.53\00:32:17.30
What is state of the dead?
00:32:17.33\00:32:18.77
You know, some of the
basic things they don't know.
00:32:18.80\00:32:21.07
So even though they may be
Adventists building up them
00:32:21.10\00:32:24.47
is building up the church.
00:32:24.51\00:32:25.84
Yeah. Praise the Lord.
00:32:25.87\00:32:27.21
It's gonna be powerful.
00:32:27.24\00:32:28.58
So what we're witnessing here
is actually real life miracles.
00:32:28.61\00:32:30.88
You know, it seems like so often
00:32:30.91\00:32:32.38
we read things in
the Bible and we say,
00:32:32.41\00:32:34.28
well, that was really neat.
00:32:34.32\00:32:35.65
And you know, but to
see miracles that are taking
00:32:35.68\00:32:37.85
place now, I'm
thinking about the prayer walk
00:32:37.89\00:32:39.49
that took place what?
00:32:39.52\00:32:40.86
Three, four years ago? Yup.
00:32:40.89\00:32:42.22
In this city, I'm not
gonna pronounce right...
00:32:42.26\00:32:43.59
Sukhothai. Sukhothai.
00:32:43.63\00:32:45.89
And now God has a church
there. He has a family there.
00:32:45.93\00:32:48.70
You didn't know
that at the time,
00:32:48.73\00:32:50.07
but God had
everything, you know it, right.
00:32:50.10\00:32:51.83
We just gotta follow
along 'cause He has a plan.
00:32:51.87\00:32:54.57
I love this prayer walk
thing. I mean, this is powerful.
00:32:54.60\00:32:56.60
We can do that here
even in North America, right?
00:32:56.64\00:32:58.41
Right. Absolutely.
00:32:58.44\00:32:59.77
Right and we
actually did. Did you?
00:32:59.81\00:33:01.14
From here because we were
going to go and do another city
00:33:01.18\00:33:03.51
Nakhon Sawan, which
is north of Sukhothai,
00:33:03.55\00:33:07.05
south of Sukhothai, sorry.
00:33:07.08\00:33:08.42
Sukhothai is only 35,000 people.
00:33:08.45\00:33:10.15
And Nakhon
Sawan, 200,000 people.
00:33:10.19\00:33:12.45
Wow. Huge.
00:33:12.49\00:33:13.82
So we have a
couple that's our foreign
00:33:13.86\00:33:17.43
correspondence over there.
00:33:17.46\00:33:18.79
Jonathan Hill, he was
interviewed here on 3ABN once.
00:33:18.83\00:33:21.16
And anyway he and his wife
live over there in Thailand
00:33:21.20\00:33:25.33
and they go around and
film our projects for us.
00:33:25.37\00:33:28.20
And because we
couldn't go because of COVID,
00:33:28.24\00:33:30.84
Jon said, well, you go.
00:33:30.87\00:33:32.54
And then we
arranged a zoom call.
00:33:32.57\00:33:34.58
I was planning to go anyway
00:33:34.61\00:33:36.71
and spend the
$2,000 to get through
00:33:36.75\00:33:39.01
quarantine just because Nakhon
Sawan was so heavy on my heart.
00:33:39.05\00:33:44.25
So I connected with Jonathan.
00:33:44.29\00:33:47.29
He says, oh, well, the
Lord has given a burden
00:33:47.32\00:33:49.76
on our heart to go do a
prayer walk in Nakhon Sawan.
00:33:49.79\00:33:52.76
I'm like, wait, I
was gonna do that.
00:33:52.79\00:33:55.16
Wow. Yeah.
00:33:55.20\00:33:56.53
But they did it. So they did it.
00:33:56.56\00:33:57.97
And on zoom, we
had 50 some people.
00:33:58.00\00:34:01.77
Doing a prayer
walk on zoom? Yes.
00:34:01.80\00:34:03.81
So how do you do that?
Just tell me real quick.
00:34:03.84\00:34:06.04
So, everyone was walking
in different where they lived?
00:34:06.07\00:34:08.81
So he was filming on the iPhone
00:34:08.84\00:34:10.81
and she was on the iPhone also.
00:34:10.85\00:34:12.48
So, they could get video of the
people that were around them.
00:34:12.51\00:34:15.48
And they went to a track
00:34:15.52\00:34:17.19
and they walked
the track in this park.
00:34:17.22\00:34:19.65
And so, you'd see
people as they were going by
00:34:19.69\00:34:21.92
and people were
praying for the people
00:34:21.96\00:34:23.29
they were walking by
and then they walked.
00:34:23.32\00:34:25.79
Right.
00:34:25.83\00:34:27.16
So people in America
would be praying for everybody
00:34:27.20\00:34:28.53
that they saw and
praying right there.
00:34:28.56\00:34:29.90
And it's real people.
00:34:29.93\00:34:31.27
Then you're seeing
the faces of people that
00:34:31.30\00:34:32.67
can be reached
because of our prayers.
00:34:32.70\00:34:35.00
And they walked down.
00:34:35.04\00:34:36.37
There's a place in that area
where there's a giant dragon.
00:34:36.40\00:34:41.71
And so, they walked down there,
00:34:41.74\00:34:43.58
you know, and we
prayed for the dragon to be,
00:34:43.61\00:34:46.51
you know cast out of
this area in different things.
00:34:46.55\00:34:48.88
And so, it was just a powerful
opportunity to pray there.
00:34:48.92\00:34:52.55
And what happened
was Jonathan and Hannah,
00:34:52.59\00:34:55.92
Jonathan and Hannah,
00:34:55.96\00:34:57.29
they felt a
burden to move there.
00:34:57.33\00:34:59.33
Yep.
00:34:59.36\00:35:00.70
Oh, so they've
moved to that city?
00:35:00.73\00:35:02.06
They've moved to that city.
00:35:02.10\00:35:03.43
So those are your
foreign correspondents.
00:35:03.47\00:35:04.80
Right? But they've
moved to this city that's...
00:35:04.83\00:35:06.84
Nakhon Sawan, yeah. Thank you.
00:35:06.87\00:35:09.07
Good job. Okay.
00:35:09.10\00:35:10.44
And what's happened?
00:35:10.47\00:35:11.81
Well, they moved
here... They've made friends.
00:35:11.84\00:35:13.21
About three months ago.
Okay. So this is recent?
00:35:13.24\00:35:15.14
Yeah, just recently.
00:35:15.18\00:35:16.51
And they were
00:35:16.54\00:35:18.25
oh, it's just the
way the Lord leads.
00:35:18.28\00:35:20.88
It's like first
God has to build us up.
00:35:20.92\00:35:24.42
So he was,
Jonathan was kind of getting
00:35:24.45\00:35:26.96
kinda discouraged and stuff.
00:35:26.99\00:35:28.46
And then he
realized as you know,
00:35:28.49\00:35:29.82
'cause he's a big
runner and as he's running...
00:35:29.86\00:35:31.69
He's done marathon, he
did the seven bridges and...
00:35:31.73\00:35:33.66
He prays for people and
then he started realizing,
00:35:33.70\00:35:37.43
he found a promise
in the Bible that says
00:35:37.47\00:35:39.40
that as our prayers go,
00:35:39.43\00:35:41.64
you know,
ministering and healing,
00:35:41.67\00:35:43.00
he realized that he's
sending angels to do work.
00:35:43.04\00:35:46.41
Sending angels to work.
00:35:46.44\00:35:48.11
But it gives you
goosebumps, you know?
00:35:48.14\00:35:49.48
Yeah. Wow. That's powerful.
00:35:49.51\00:35:51.31
And so, then as
he's running, he's like,
00:35:51.35\00:35:53.21
"I'm praying an
angel to go to that person.
00:35:53.25\00:35:55.05
I'm praying an angel
to go to that person."
00:35:55.08\00:35:56.99
So it's really neat.
00:35:57.02\00:35:58.35
And you never know
what's gonna happen.
00:35:58.39\00:35:59.72
No. But God knows.
00:35:59.75\00:36:01.09
He does. Yeah.
00:36:01.12\00:36:02.46
So they've met a
few people and started,
00:36:02.49\00:36:03.83
you know, being
friends with one couple,
00:36:03.86\00:36:06.13
invited them recently
to go cycling with them.
00:36:06.16\00:36:08.83
And so, it's just, you know,
00:36:08.86\00:36:10.37
at this point it's
relationship building,
00:36:10.40\00:36:12.60
you know, that's the main thing.
00:36:12.63\00:36:14.20
Because if they don't know you,
00:36:14.24\00:36:15.70
they're not gonna see anything.
00:36:15.74\00:36:17.07
They're not
gonna see Jesus in you.
00:36:17.11\00:36:18.44
That's a good point.
If they don't know you.
00:36:18.47\00:36:19.81
Do you have any
pictures for this one 'cause
00:36:19.84\00:36:21.18
you have so many pictures,
we have more to come to.
00:36:21.21\00:36:22.54
Is there a
picture for this one, Jon?
00:36:22.58\00:36:23.91
No, there isn't.
00:36:23.95\00:36:25.28
Well, yeah, actually
there is. We got a picture of.
00:36:25.31\00:36:26.65
There we go. There we go.
00:36:26.68\00:36:28.02
So that's Jonathan
and his wife Hannah?
00:36:28.05\00:36:29.38
Yes, and that's Nakhon Sawan.
00:36:29.42\00:36:30.75
And how many
people in that city?
00:36:30.79\00:36:32.12
Around 200,000. Wow.
00:36:32.15\00:36:33.49
That's an area.
00:36:33.52\00:36:34.86
In which there is no
Adventist, no plan, no church,
00:36:34.89\00:36:38.89
no missionary, nothing.
00:36:38.93\00:36:40.26
Yeah.
00:36:40.30\00:36:41.63
And now, they're
increasing the church.
00:36:41.66\00:36:43.47
They're just the two
of them are increasing
00:36:43.50\00:36:44.97
the church an infinite amount.
00:36:45.00\00:36:46.33
You know, if you go from
one to two, that's a 100%.
00:36:46.37\00:36:49.34
If you go to zero to one,
00:36:49.37\00:36:50.74
that's infinite,
it's infinite number.
00:36:50.77\00:36:52.81
So, they've, I mean,
there was nothing there before,
00:36:52.84\00:36:55.81
now there's something.
00:36:55.84\00:36:57.18
Yeah. Praise the Lord.
00:36:57.21\00:36:58.58
So tell me about another
city then that we can pray for,
00:36:58.61\00:37:00.82
'cause we've had
prayer walks in these cities,
00:37:00.85\00:37:02.58
so I'm sure you
wanna be involved.
00:37:02.62\00:37:04.15
And I know they've got
something up their sleeve,
00:37:04.19\00:37:05.72
so to speak.
00:37:05.75\00:37:07.09
So what city can
we all pray for then?
00:37:07.12\00:37:08.46
What's the next
city you're praying for?
00:37:08.49\00:37:09.82
Kantharalak. Okay.
00:37:09.86\00:37:11.19
Let's spell that. How...
00:37:11.23\00:37:12.56
With a K. Say that again?
00:37:12.59\00:37:14.03
Kantharalak. Okay.
00:37:14.06\00:37:16.20
That's the next city
and that's where, what...
00:37:16.23\00:37:17.70
That's in Northeast
Thailand. Thailand. Okay.
00:37:17.73\00:37:19.93
And in that city,
00:37:19.97\00:37:21.30
there's no Adventist
in the entire province.
00:37:21.34\00:37:24.21
There's no Adventist whatsoever.
00:37:24.24\00:37:26.37
And so, we're praying
for Kantharalak to for God
00:37:26.41\00:37:29.91
to do something there 'cause
right now nothing's being done.
00:37:29.94\00:37:33.72
So that's where all
of us can join in then
00:37:33.75\00:37:35.08
'cause this is the new
city that you're praying for.
00:37:35.12\00:37:37.35
Absolutely.
00:37:37.39\00:37:38.72
And we know that
God's gonna do something.
00:37:38.75\00:37:40.09
We have just heard of miracles
00:37:40.12\00:37:41.46
what God has already
done for these cities
00:37:41.49\00:37:42.82
that has already been
prayed over and prayer walked.
00:37:42.86\00:37:44.59
Man that's just
powerful. What about India?
00:37:44.63\00:37:46.76
'Cause I mean,
time's getting away from us.
00:37:46.80\00:37:48.13
So tell us about India.
00:37:48.16\00:37:49.50
What new things
are happening in India?
00:37:49.53\00:37:50.87
Well, in North India.
00:37:50.90\00:37:52.77
The very, very,
very farthest north
00:37:52.80\00:37:54.77
you can go to is Kashmir.
00:37:54.80\00:37:57.21
And you may have
heard of Kashmir sweaters.
00:37:57.24\00:37:59.01
Yes.
00:37:59.04\00:38:00.41
This is a state that
is never had Adventists
00:38:00.44\00:38:05.35
presence except for one
time in the early 1970s,
00:38:05.38\00:38:08.95
we've had one guy went up there
00:38:08.98\00:38:10.69
and tried to do something,
but it didn't take off.
00:38:10.72\00:38:12.85
So, they've been praying.
00:38:12.89\00:38:15.82
They finally found seven people
00:38:15.86\00:38:18.03
that are converted
that then moved up there.
00:38:18.06\00:38:20.63
So one guy got converted
00:38:20.66\00:38:22.36
when he came
down, he got converted.
00:38:22.40\00:38:24.53
He went up there
00:38:24.57\00:38:25.90
and he converted
six other people.
00:38:25.93\00:38:27.27
Oh, wow.
00:38:27.30\00:38:28.64
And so, they asked
us if we would sponsor
00:38:28.67\00:38:31.47
and I'm like,
"Well, yeah, of course."
00:38:31.51\00:38:33.61
So we've got seven Bible workers
00:38:33.64\00:38:35.88
in the Northern
most city of India.
00:38:35.91\00:38:38.91
Praise God.
00:38:38.95\00:38:40.28
And then in 2009
00:38:40.32\00:38:41.65
we had driven
through the state of Punjab,
00:38:41.68\00:38:43.99
which is just on the southern,
it's just south of Kashmir.
00:38:44.02\00:38:47.42
Okay.
00:38:47.46\00:38:48.79
And in 2009 I asked,
00:38:48.82\00:38:51.19
you know, how's the work going?
00:38:51.23\00:38:52.56
He says, well, up
here in the north,
00:38:52.59\00:38:53.93
we have several
churches, but in the south,
00:38:53.96\00:38:55.40
there's
absolutely no work at all,
00:38:55.43\00:38:57.80
the entire
southern half of the state.
00:38:57.83\00:39:00.14
And I'm like, that
shouldn't be like that.
00:39:00.17\00:39:03.24
And so, when I
came back in 2019,
00:39:03.27\00:39:05.71
10 years later, I
asked the same question.
00:39:05.74\00:39:07.54
He says, it's the same
thing, nothing's changed.
00:39:07.58\00:39:10.15
In 10 years. In 10
years, nothing has changed.
00:39:10.18\00:39:13.15
And so, we're
like, "Lord, help us.
00:39:13.18\00:39:15.38
What can we do?"
00:39:15.42\00:39:16.75
And so, long story short,
00:39:16.79\00:39:18.85
we've got 20 Bible
workers in that area.
00:39:18.89\00:39:22.32
Praise the Lord.
00:39:22.36\00:39:23.69
In just the last few years then?
00:39:23.73\00:39:25.06
Yeah. Two years. Wow.
00:39:25.09\00:39:26.73
So, we've got a
video we want to go to,
00:39:26.76\00:39:28.20
set that video up for us.
00:39:28.23\00:39:29.56
What we're getting ready to see?
00:39:29.60\00:39:30.93
All right. This is Kashmir.
00:39:30.97\00:39:32.30
Okay. Okay.
00:39:32.33\00:39:33.67
This is just like a teaser.
This is just a vision casting.
00:39:33.70\00:39:36.71
You know, maybe I
can't put my foot there,
00:39:36.74\00:39:38.41
but I can put my
imagination there.
00:39:38.44\00:39:40.01
Okay.
00:39:40.04\00:39:41.38
And I can see what it looks like
00:39:41.41\00:39:42.74
and see the people's faces.
00:39:42.78\00:39:44.11
Okay. Sounds good.
00:39:44.15\00:39:45.48
All right, let's go
to that video right now.
00:39:45.51\00:39:46.85
Wow. Powerful.
00:41:12.27\00:41:13.60
And you said that's
just a taste, right?
00:41:13.64\00:41:15.20
Just a snippet, you
know, in that last shot,
00:41:15.24\00:41:17.41
I guess there's a drone shot.
00:41:17.44\00:41:18.77
They're just showing, I
saw all those little roofs.
00:41:18.81\00:41:20.51
Right?
00:41:20.54\00:41:21.88
You think about that
multiplied by the millions
00:41:21.91\00:41:23.24
around the world.
00:41:23.28\00:41:24.61
But we're talking about Asia.
00:41:24.65\00:41:25.98
I wanna just ask
you this question,
00:41:26.01\00:41:27.35
then I wanna hear
some miracle stories, okay?
00:41:27.38\00:41:29.02
But do you ever get overwhelmed?
00:41:29.05\00:41:31.95
I'm thinking about
Jonathan and Hannah,
00:41:31.99\00:41:34.02
you're talking about
that young couple, right?
00:41:34.06\00:41:35.76
And I'm looking at those roofs
00:41:35.79\00:41:37.73
and buildings and all
the people that represent,
00:41:37.76\00:41:39.09
there are two people.
00:41:39.13\00:41:40.50
Massive. Yeah, Right.
00:41:40.53\00:41:41.86
You guys are
looking at what'd you,
00:41:41.90\00:41:43.23
I forget the numbers.
00:41:43.26\00:41:44.60
You get 50% of the
population is in Asia.
00:41:44.63\00:41:46.40
Do you ever get
overwhelmed? Yes.
00:41:46.43\00:41:47.84
Personal question. Yeah.
00:41:47.87\00:41:49.24
How do you deal with
that? So we look at it...
00:41:49.27\00:41:51.61
Cry and pray. Yeah.
00:41:51.64\00:41:53.24
We do a lot of praying, but
00:41:53.27\00:41:57.51
yeah, I deal with
that a lot, honestly.
00:41:57.55\00:41:59.45
So my change of focus,
the way I think about it is,
00:41:59.48\00:42:05.25
I can't save all of them,
00:42:05.29\00:42:08.52
but I can save a few.
00:42:08.56\00:42:09.89
Yeah. And those
few are worth saving.
00:42:09.92\00:42:13.96
And then what God does,
He just takes those few.
00:42:14.00\00:42:15.56
And God multiplies them.
00:42:15.60\00:42:16.93
And those few reach few
and it just continues to grow.
00:42:16.97\00:42:19.67
Yeah.
00:42:19.70\00:42:21.04
So tell us some miracle stories,
00:42:21.07\00:42:22.40
'cause God is
doing marvelous things.
00:42:22.44\00:42:23.77
You've already shared
miracle stories already,
00:42:23.81\00:42:25.14
but I know you've got more.
00:42:25.17\00:42:26.51
So what story do you
wanna start with first?
00:42:26.54\00:42:28.11
So, do we have... The studio.
00:42:28.14\00:42:30.41
The studio. Okay. Okay.
00:42:30.45\00:42:31.78
So, the miracle
of the lamyai tree
00:42:31.81\00:42:34.25
and we have a
picture of this tree.
00:42:34.28\00:42:36.35
Okay.
00:42:36.38\00:42:37.72
And it's hard to see,
but over on the right,
00:42:37.75\00:42:40.49
if you look up really closely
up on the upper right-hand
00:42:40.52\00:42:43.06
corner, you'll see a
bunch of little tiny fruits.
00:42:43.09\00:42:45.59
You might have to
come up closer to your TV.
00:42:45.63\00:42:49.26
But on the left,
there's no fruits at all.
00:42:49.30\00:42:51.63
And the
property that stick there
00:42:51.67\00:42:55.20
is the demarcation
of on the left side,
00:42:55.24\00:42:57.97
that was property
that was given to us.
00:42:58.01\00:42:59.77
We have a foundation in Thailand
00:42:59.81\00:43:01.74
called Love for Asia
and it provides work permits
00:43:01.78\00:43:05.55
and visas for
missionaries in Thailand.
00:43:05.58\00:43:08.28
And also has a
TV ministry there.
00:43:08.32\00:43:11.29
Yeah. Great.
00:43:11.32\00:43:12.65
And so, someone had
donated that property to build
00:43:12.69\00:43:15.79
a studio because our
rental was being sold.
00:43:15.82\00:43:20.03
And so...
00:43:20.06\00:43:22.03
Well, we never, we
haven't had a studio
00:43:22.06\00:43:24.40
and so it was for
our office and studio.
00:43:24.43\00:43:26.40
Okay. Kind of a base then.
00:43:26.43\00:43:27.87
Yeah. Yeah.
00:43:27.90\00:43:29.24
And so, they
said, but can you wait
00:43:29.27\00:43:31.44
until this is like in February?
00:43:31.47\00:43:32.87
And they said, can you
wait until June or March?
00:43:32.91\00:43:36.64
So we can get the
last harvest of fruit.
00:43:36.68\00:43:39.08
Oh, from the
tree. From the tree.
00:43:39.11\00:43:40.48
Okay. Yeah.
00:43:40.52\00:43:41.85
'Cause it was partway
through the growing season
00:43:41.88\00:43:43.42
and the people that
rented the properties to grow
00:43:43.45\00:43:47.06
these lamyai
fruit were, we're like,
00:43:47.09\00:43:50.29
can we just please
wait one more harvest?
00:43:50.33\00:43:52.76
Can we get one more
harvest before they tear
00:43:52.79\00:43:54.30
the trees down, you know?
00:43:54.33\00:43:55.66
It's donated
land, so no problem.
00:43:55.70\00:43:57.03
Yeah.
00:43:57.07\00:43:58.40
You know, it's
like, for us, it's like,
00:43:58.43\00:43:59.77
yeah, building a studio
is like, that's a huge...
00:43:59.80\00:44:01.14
It's gonna be expensive
00:44:01.17\00:44:02.50
and we're like we
got to raise the funds...
00:44:02.54\00:44:04.04
Should we do it,
should be we wait,
00:44:04.07\00:44:05.64
you know, questions
that go through in our minds.
00:44:05.67\00:44:07.98
Even though we pray,
00:44:08.01\00:44:09.34
the Lord sometimes likes
us to go through the process
00:44:09.38\00:44:13.01
of just instead of just telling
us what He'd like us to do.
00:44:13.05\00:44:15.35
Sure.
00:44:15.38\00:44:16.72
And so, but this is a
time where He just told us
00:44:16.75\00:44:18.29
because when the harvest of
fruit came in on their side,
00:44:18.32\00:44:23.89
the land that was not
donated, it was a bumper crop.
00:44:23.93\00:44:27.20
And on our property
that they had donated to us,
00:44:27.23\00:44:29.66
there was zero fruit.
00:44:29.70\00:44:31.23
In fact, in that one tree,
00:44:31.27\00:44:33.23
one of their branches
hung over on to our property.
00:44:33.27\00:44:35.70
You can see that in the picture.
00:44:35.74\00:44:37.07
Let's look at that
picture one more time.
00:44:37.11\00:44:38.44
And there's no fruit.
00:44:38.47\00:44:39.81
Let's look at that
picture one more time.
00:44:39.84\00:44:41.18
So on the
left-hand side there, okay.
00:44:41.21\00:44:42.54
You can see that one
tree kinda hangs over.
00:44:42.58\00:44:43.91
There's no fruit
whatsoever from the line over.
00:44:43.95\00:44:46.78
But on the one side
that was not donated
00:44:46.82\00:44:48.42
loaded with fruit.
00:44:48.45\00:44:49.78
Yeah, the same tree.
00:44:49.82\00:44:51.15
On the right side of
that tree, it's loaded, but...
00:44:51.19\00:44:52.52
Oh, the same tree? Yeah.
00:44:52.55\00:44:53.89
The same tree. Wow.
00:44:53.92\00:44:55.26
Okay, got it. Yeah.
00:44:55.29\00:44:56.62
So, God was
like, okay. You know...
00:44:56.66\00:44:58.73
The fruits like this big.
00:44:58.76\00:45:00.10
So it's hard to see, but
if you look at it closer...
00:45:00.13\00:45:01.96
Yeah. They're around a
little bit bigger than grapes.
00:45:02.00\00:45:05.73
Wow. That's amazing.
00:45:05.77\00:45:07.10
Isn't it? That's incredible.
00:45:07.14\00:45:08.47
God was like, okay,
time to build the studio.
00:45:08.50\00:45:10.21
Yeah, exactly.
Don't wait any longer.
00:45:10.24\00:45:11.57
Let's do it. Right. Exactly.
00:45:11.61\00:45:12.94
And after that,
the Lord has provided
00:45:12.97\00:45:15.68
and we have almost
enough to finish it
00:45:15.71\00:45:17.48
and it's almost finished.
00:45:17.51\00:45:18.85
Praise God, the studio? Yeah.
00:45:18.88\00:45:20.22
Amen.
00:45:20.25\00:45:21.58
So the next picture is a drone
shot of the studio building.
00:45:21.62\00:45:23.92
Okay. And this was...
00:45:23.95\00:45:25.62
The studio in the front,
00:45:25.65\00:45:26.99
and the guest house in the back.
00:45:27.02\00:45:28.39
They're still working on it.
They're doing the inside and...
00:45:28.42\00:45:30.73
Totally funded
by donations? Yes.
00:45:30.76\00:45:32.49
Yeah, 100%. Wow.
00:45:32.53\00:45:33.86
Praise the Lord.
00:45:33.90\00:45:35.23
And so, we wanna
do shows because one
00:45:35.26\00:45:36.60
of the biggest challenges
in these countries is value,
00:45:36.63\00:45:40.94
human value, human life.
00:45:40.97\00:45:42.94
And so, we wanna
bring in shows that shows
00:45:42.97\00:45:45.11
how Christ gives us value.
00:45:45.14\00:45:46.57
How He values
individuals. Mm-Hmm.
00:45:46.61\00:45:48.84
And there's just
so much to be done.
00:45:48.88\00:45:51.55
In the local language. Yes.
00:45:51.58\00:45:53.11
Yeah. And what is
the local language?
00:45:53.15\00:45:54.48
Thai. Okay.
00:45:54.52\00:45:55.85
There's like 73 languages
represented in Thailand.
00:45:55.88\00:45:58.19
Okay. But Thai is
the main language.
00:45:58.22\00:45:59.85
Okay. Yeah.
00:45:59.89\00:46:01.22
So another our story. Okay.
00:46:01.26\00:46:02.59
Okay. This one's
from the Philippines.
00:46:02.62\00:46:03.96
All right. Do you
wanna tell this one?
00:46:03.99\00:46:06.23
Yeah, but you can
start it if you're...
00:46:06.26\00:46:07.80
Okay. I'll tell it.
00:46:07.83\00:46:09.16
Okay.
00:46:09.20\00:46:10.53
So we have this Bible
worker, his name is Pablito
00:46:10.57\00:46:13.34
and he was a Mangyan.
00:46:13.37\00:46:15.44
He was actually converted
by AFM missionaries like 15,
00:46:15.47\00:46:20.38
20 years ago.
00:46:20.41\00:46:21.81
He is now the AFM missionaries
have since moved on,
00:46:21.84\00:46:25.08
but the seeds that they've
planted are continuing to grow.
00:46:25.11\00:46:28.35
And this guy is one of
them, he's working for us.
00:46:28.38\00:46:31.35
And he got a message recently,
00:46:31.39\00:46:34.26
this just happened like
two weeks ago, three weeks ago.
00:46:34.29\00:46:36.93
This is very
recent. Very recent.
00:46:36.96\00:46:38.86
He got a message
that this father,
00:46:38.89\00:46:41.43
this husband of this family was,
00:46:41.46\00:46:43.93
he had
tuberculosis and he was dying.
00:46:43.97\00:46:46.74
Oh, no. And so, he
coughed really hard.
00:46:46.77\00:46:50.11
And I think this was, oh yeah.
00:46:50.14\00:46:52.37
So he went there and
he coughed really hard.
00:46:52.41\00:46:54.84
And while he was there, he died.
00:46:54.88\00:46:56.95
Oh. And he asked the
wife, "Do you believe in Jesus?"
00:46:56.98\00:47:00.68
The wife says "No."
00:47:00.72\00:47:02.48
He said, and so he was,
00:47:02.52\00:47:03.92
he was sitting there
and he kept asking her,
00:47:03.95\00:47:06.96
praying, Lord, do you
want me to pray for this man?
00:47:06.99\00:47:10.69
And he died and
he kept saying, Lord,
00:47:10.73\00:47:13.40
do you want me to
pray for this man?
00:47:13.43\00:47:14.76
And he sensed, the Lord
00:47:14.80\00:47:16.30
was moving
towards prayer, but...
00:47:16.33\00:47:19.73
Pray for him to be
raised from the dead.
00:47:19.77\00:47:21.37
From the dead.
00:47:21.40\00:47:23.07
And he kept asking the wife,
if he's raised from the dead,
00:47:23.10\00:47:27.31
do you believe in Jesus Christ?
00:47:27.34\00:47:29.08
Will you
believe in Jesus Christ?
00:47:29.11\00:47:30.45
Do you believe in Jesus?
He's very persistent. Yes.
00:47:30.48\00:47:32.31
You have to
believe... Two hours.
00:47:32.35\00:47:33.68
Otherwise, God
can't do anything.
00:47:33.72\00:47:35.32
Right. Oh, wow.
00:47:35.35\00:47:36.69
"I mean, I will
pray and I believe,
00:47:36.72\00:47:38.75
but you have to believe,
00:47:38.79\00:47:40.12
otherwise, God
can't do anything."
00:47:40.16\00:47:41.59
And he says, "I have
no power, but God does."
00:47:41.62\00:47:43.46
But God does.
00:47:43.49\00:47:44.83
So the lady's
husband is laying there dead.
00:47:44.86\00:47:46.19
Is that right? Right.
00:47:46.23\00:47:47.56
Wow. Yep. He's got cold.
00:47:47.60\00:47:48.93
Stiff. Stiff.
00:47:48.96\00:47:50.30
They took his clothes off.
00:47:50.33\00:47:51.67
His uncle was like,
00:47:51.70\00:47:53.03
"Okay, it's time to
prepare him for burial.
00:47:53.07\00:47:54.40
Take his clothes off."
00:47:54.44\00:47:55.77
I don't know why they did that.
00:47:55.80\00:47:57.14
But anyway, they
took his clothes off
00:47:57.17\00:47:58.51
to get him ready to bury him.
00:47:58.54\00:47:59.87
And...
00:47:59.91\00:48:01.24
Finally, after two
hours, he died at 3
00:48:01.28\00:48:02.61
and at 5 o'clock the
wife says, "I believe."
00:48:02.64\00:48:05.05
I believe.
00:48:05.08\00:48:06.41
"And if God raises, if your
God raises him from the dead,
00:48:06.45\00:48:09.18
then I'll come to your church."
00:48:09.22\00:48:11.49
And so Pablito checked
with the father and yes.
00:48:11.52\00:48:14.72
And so, he prayed for
him and the guy jumped up
00:48:14.76\00:48:17.73
and he says,
00:48:17.76\00:48:19.09
"I'm cold. Where's
my clothes. I'm hungry."
00:48:19.13\00:48:21.90
"Where's my food."
00:48:21.93\00:48:23.26
He put on his
clothes and he's fine.
00:48:23.30\00:48:25.97
Wow. He was healed.
00:48:26.00\00:48:27.34
Two hours. He was healed.
00:48:27.37\00:48:28.70
Well, he was
raised from the dead.
00:48:28.74\00:48:30.07
Raised from the dead. Yeah.
00:48:30.11\00:48:31.44
He wasn't
breathing for two hours.
00:48:31.47\00:48:32.81
Wow. That's amazing.
00:48:32.84\00:48:34.18
And that just happened? Yeah.
00:48:34.21\00:48:35.54
Just happened. Yeah.
00:48:35.58\00:48:37.28
So, we have a picture of Mar
00:48:37.31\00:48:39.28
who's the man who
was raised from the dead,
00:48:39.31\00:48:41.68
he's there in the middle.
00:48:41.72\00:48:43.05
That's his family. Okay,
the gentleman in the middle?
00:48:43.08\00:48:44.42
Okay. Yep. That's his family.
00:48:44.45\00:48:45.79
And the next
one is Pablito. Yep.
00:48:45.82\00:48:47.59
The Bible worker. Oh, wow.
00:48:47.62\00:48:49.32
Look at that smile on
his face. You know that.
00:48:49.36\00:48:51.69
But the
sincerity in his eyes too,
00:48:51.73\00:48:53.26
you can see it, you
know, Jesus in his eyes.
00:48:53.29\00:48:54.90
Wow. Yeah.
00:48:54.93\00:48:56.26
Absolutely. Wow.
00:48:56.30\00:48:57.63
You think about what
that does for one's faith?
00:48:57.67\00:48:59.00
Yeah.
00:48:59.03\00:49:00.37
You think what that
does for even my faith.
00:49:00.40\00:49:01.97
I've never met, met either
one of the gentlemen, but wow.
00:49:02.00\00:49:05.01
God's alive and well. Yeah.
00:49:05.04\00:49:06.71
He's in the miracle making
business so to speak, right?
00:49:06.74\00:49:09.58
Yeah. Yes. Yes.
00:49:09.61\00:49:10.95
God's not dead.
Praise God for that. Amen.
00:49:10.98\00:49:12.81
Wow. He's a
resurrection in the life.
00:49:12.85\00:49:14.58
He is. He is.
00:49:14.62\00:49:16.22
Boy, I tell you, these programs,
00:49:16.25\00:49:18.45
I tell you, I told
Jon and Natalie Wood.
00:49:18.49\00:49:20.26
I said, you know, this,
program's gonna go by quick.
00:49:20.29\00:49:21.79
I love these programs,
'cause there's so, much
00:49:21.82\00:49:23.43
about what God is doing.
00:49:23.46\00:49:24.79
Missionary work, you know,
00:49:24.83\00:49:26.16
God is just moving
across the world, you know?
00:49:26.19\00:49:27.60
And He wants all
of us to participate.
00:49:27.63\00:49:29.63
Be a part of it.
00:49:29.66\00:49:31.00
I know we've got just
a couple minutes left.
00:49:31.03\00:49:32.87
Tell us about the
satellite ministry
00:49:32.90\00:49:34.30
that's going on too,
'cause this is phenomenal too
00:49:34.34\00:49:36.20
what God is doing with reaching
people through satellite?
00:49:36.24\00:49:38.84
Yes.
00:49:38.87\00:49:40.21
Well, you know,
how are we gonna reach,
00:49:40.24\00:49:41.58
I mean, half the
world lives in Asia,
00:49:41.61\00:49:42.94
so biggest countries
in Asia besides China
00:49:42.98\00:49:47.15
and India is Indonesia.
00:49:47.18\00:49:49.15
Okay. It's got 17,000 islands.
00:49:49.18\00:49:51.15
Seventeen
thousand islands? Yeah.
00:49:51.19\00:49:53.02
Wow.
00:49:53.05\00:49:54.39
And so in,
00:49:54.42\00:49:55.76
in 2011 we did a faith
camp in Jakarta, Indonesia.
00:49:55.79\00:49:59.56
And out of that was this
couple that took hold of it.
00:49:59.59\00:50:02.83
And we appealed them, you know,
00:50:02.86\00:50:05.13
we challenged somebody
in the audience to start
00:50:05.17\00:50:07.60
a satellite ministry.
00:50:07.64\00:50:09.17
You guys know what satellite...
00:50:09.20\00:50:10.54
We do. 3ABN knows very
much about satellite ministry.
00:50:10.57\00:50:13.71
And what it
requires. Yes, mm-hmm.
00:50:13.74\00:50:15.58
And what you have
to do. That's right.
00:50:15.61\00:50:17.71
And yeah.
00:50:17.75\00:50:19.08
Well, they
didn't know any of that,
00:50:19.11\00:50:20.98
but the Lord impressed
them very strongly that him
00:50:21.02\00:50:24.42
especially that they
were supposed to do this.
00:50:24.45\00:50:26.72
Yeah. Okay.
00:50:26.76\00:50:28.09
And Ramon and Shandy
Tengkano were just here
00:50:28.12\00:50:30.06
the other day for an interview.
00:50:30.09\00:50:31.63
So there'll be a today
show with them as well.
00:50:31.66\00:50:33.83
That's right. Oh yeah.
00:50:33.86\00:50:35.20
So the more of their story and
testimony will be shared there,
00:50:35.23\00:50:37.13
but, we're just amazed at
what God has done there in
00:50:37.17\00:50:40.60
reaching people
in remote places.
00:50:40.64\00:50:43.17
Lot of places.
Yeah. You're right.
00:50:43.20\00:50:45.01
There's no church on the island.
00:50:45.04\00:50:46.37
Yeah.
00:50:46.41\00:50:47.74
So that satellite
signal becomes the church.
00:50:47.78\00:50:49.14
Yeah.
00:50:49.18\00:50:50.51
They get together
and they watch together
00:50:50.55\00:50:52.01
and that's their
church service and...
00:50:52.05\00:50:54.12
Yeah. That's amazing.
00:50:54.15\00:50:55.48
That's incredible.
00:50:55.52\00:50:56.85
So we're getting
ready to go to your address.
00:50:56.89\00:50:58.22
Well, there's so much
more that they can share.
00:50:58.25\00:50:59.59
So what are ways that
people can participate?
00:50:59.62\00:51:02.16
Because we're gonna go
to Jon and Natalie Woods
00:51:02.19\00:51:03.69
contact
information for Jesus for Asia,
00:51:03.73\00:51:05.53
but tell us some of your needs?
00:51:05.56\00:51:07.50
Okay. So prayer
is our primary need.
00:51:07.53\00:51:11.43
If they want to
go to our website,
00:51:11.47\00:51:13.60
they can look through
all the different projects
00:51:13.64\00:51:15.17
and choose a
project and donate that way.
00:51:15.20\00:51:18.51
There's also you
know, where needed most
00:51:18.54\00:51:21.48
and that gives
us the ability to,
00:51:21.51\00:51:23.55
if we see an emergency,
00:51:23.58\00:51:24.91
we can respond quickly.
00:51:24.95\00:51:26.28
Amen. And then let people know.
00:51:26.31\00:51:28.65
But there's a lot of...
00:51:28.68\00:51:30.02
There's so many
options that we just really...
00:51:30.05\00:51:31.89
What about...
00:51:31.92\00:51:33.25
There's a lot of places where
there are people needed too.
00:51:33.29\00:51:34.62
Okay.
00:51:34.66\00:51:35.99
So I know with COVID is
making a challenge to actually
00:51:36.02\00:51:37.36
you travel, but you'll also
go and share as things open up.
00:51:37.39\00:51:40.00
And so, you're also 501(c)(3).
00:51:40.03\00:51:41.96
So if you're here
in the United States,
00:51:42.00\00:51:43.33
you get a tax
deductible receipt.
00:51:43.37\00:51:44.83
So what we wanna do right now
00:51:44.87\00:51:46.20
is actually go to Jesus
for Asia's contact information,
00:51:46.23\00:51:49.34
and you can figure out how you
can best help their ministry.
00:51:49.37\00:51:54.08
