Hello, I'm Jill Morikone,
00:01:15.30\00:01:16.71
and I just want to welcome you
to another 3ABN Today program.
00:01:16.74\00:01:20.24
I love this program.
00:01:20.28\00:01:21.61
We get to spend time
with you, our family at home,
00:01:21.64\00:01:24.65
and especially,
00:01:24.68\00:01:26.01
we get to hear testimonies
and stories of changed lives.
00:01:26.05\00:01:29.72
We get to hear what God is doing
00:01:29.75\00:01:31.79
in and through
ministries around the world.
00:01:31.82\00:01:35.52
Today's testimony and
ministry is Pathway to Health,
00:01:35.56\00:01:39.53
known as your
best Pathway to Health.
00:01:39.56\00:01:42.46
3ABN has long
believed in and stood
00:01:42.50\00:01:45.40
with the Ministry of Pathway
00:01:45.43\00:01:47.27
to Health because they
provide free medical care,
00:01:47.30\00:01:49.77
free dental care,
00:01:49.80\00:01:51.54
free optical care to
people who need it the most.
00:01:51.57\00:01:55.68
They have large events
00:01:55.71\00:01:58.18
where doctors and nurses
and medical professionals
00:01:58.21\00:02:01.32
come together
00:02:01.35\00:02:02.95
and just share the gospel
through health evangelism.
00:02:02.98\00:02:07.82
So we believe in this ministry.
00:02:07.86\00:02:09.49
It was started, of course,
founded by Dr. Lela Lewis,
00:02:09.52\00:02:12.86
and she did an amazing job,
00:02:12.89\00:02:15.13
and we're so
grateful for that partnership.
00:02:15.16\00:02:17.50
And then she transitioned
to doing some other things.
00:02:17.53\00:02:20.44
And we have a
new leadership team,
00:02:20.47\00:02:23.10
a new president and CEO.
00:02:23.14\00:02:25.07
And we're excited to
talk to you about what God
00:02:25.11\00:02:27.68
is doing in and
through this ministry,
00:02:27.71\00:02:31.21
especially in
these closing moments
00:02:31.25\00:02:33.21
of earth's history.
00:02:33.25\00:02:34.58
So we have some incredible
guests on the program,
00:02:34.62\00:02:36.55
which I'm going to
introduce you to right now.
00:02:36.58\00:02:38.75
To my right
00:02:38.79\00:02:40.12
is The Honorable
Kathryn Proffitt,
00:02:40.16\00:02:42.99
who is the board chair
actually of Pathway to Health.
00:02:43.02\00:02:45.99
And you served for
the Republic of Malta.
00:02:46.03\00:02:48.53
You served as an ambassador
00:02:48.56\00:02:49.90
for the United
States Government.
00:02:49.93\00:02:51.27
Yes.
00:02:51.30\00:02:52.63
So that just makes me even feel
00:02:52.67\00:02:54.00
a little
intimidated just sitting here,
00:02:54.04\00:02:55.37
but you are my sister in Christ.
00:02:55.40\00:02:56.74
Tell me just a little
bit about your background?
00:02:56.77\00:02:58.54
Well, first of all, Jill,
00:02:58.57\00:02:59.91
you're an amazing ambassador
for the Lord Jesus Christ,
00:02:59.94\00:03:02.21
which is a much higher calling.
00:03:02.24\00:03:04.01
So it was a God thing.
00:03:04.05\00:03:05.91
You know, God
has a sense of humor.
00:03:05.95\00:03:07.32
He finds the most unqualified,
00:03:07.35\00:03:10.82
unlikely
candidate so that we know
00:03:10.85\00:03:13.05
it was Him and I was appointed,
00:03:13.09\00:03:14.89
absolutely,
because of a miracle.
00:03:14.92\00:03:17.16
It never could have
happened any other way.
00:03:17.19\00:03:19.16
Wow.
00:03:19.19\00:03:20.53
So what years did you
serve the Republic of Malta?
00:03:20.56\00:03:22.06
I served from 1997 to 2001.
00:03:22.10\00:03:26.13
Wow, okay.
00:03:26.17\00:03:28.07
And it was an
amazing experience.
00:03:28.10\00:03:29.94
It was just
incredible, and a great honor.
00:03:29.97\00:03:32.47
But...
00:03:32.51\00:03:33.84
Amen. Amen.
00:03:33.88\00:03:35.21
Well, Kathryn is a
woman of many gifts
00:03:35.24\00:03:36.68
who do an
incredible job, excuse me,
00:03:36.71\00:03:38.48
I have the privilege of sitting
on the Pathway to Health Board,
00:03:38.51\00:03:41.25
and being a board
member there for several years,
00:03:41.28\00:03:44.02
and Kathryn does an
amazing job chairing
00:03:44.05\00:03:46.55
in those meetings.
00:03:46.59\00:03:47.92
So we're excited to hear
00:03:47.96\00:03:49.29
how God is using Pathway
00:03:49.32\00:03:50.66
to Health and about
their next events coming up.
00:03:50.69\00:03:53.26
Sitting next to you
is Dr. Julie Bryson.
00:03:53.29\00:03:56.13
And you are the
Chief Medical Officer
00:03:56.16\00:03:58.30
for Pathway to Health.
00:03:58.33\00:03:59.67
And tell me just a little
bit about your background,
00:03:59.70\00:04:01.90
and then how you became
involved in Pathway to Health?
00:04:01.94\00:04:04.21
Well, I'm a
family practice doctor
00:04:04.24\00:04:05.64
and somebody
invited me to a Pathway
00:04:05.67\00:04:07.94
to Health event in 2016.
00:04:07.98\00:04:10.15
And the person who
invited me didn't show up,
00:04:10.18\00:04:11.61
but I loved it.
00:04:11.65\00:04:12.98
I was so excited about
how people work together
00:04:13.01\00:04:16.45
and how there
were so many services
00:04:16.48\00:04:18.29
and how positive everybody was.
00:04:18.32\00:04:20.39
It was just a
wonderful experience.
00:04:20.42\00:04:22.32
Amen. That was my beginning.
00:04:22.36\00:04:24.09
I've worked as
family practice doctor
00:04:24.13\00:04:25.59
in various places,
00:04:25.63\00:04:26.96
I've done some work
overseas temporarily,
00:04:27.00\00:04:28.90
and then I've done
work in Alaska and Guam.
00:04:28.93\00:04:31.90
Those have been the
majority of my career,
00:04:31.93\00:04:33.54
though I've
worked in California.
00:04:33.57\00:04:34.90
Most recently I was in Guam.
00:04:34.94\00:04:36.27
I went there before COVID,
00:04:36.30\00:04:37.64
COVID hit about a month after
I got there and I just stayed
00:04:37.67\00:04:40.34
for more than a year and a half.
00:04:40.38\00:04:43.45
So I've just gotten back. Yeah.
00:04:43.48\00:04:44.88
So you're back in the
States now practicing?
00:04:44.91\00:04:46.31
I've just arrived. Yeah.
00:04:46.35\00:04:47.68
Okay. Yeah.
00:04:47.72\00:04:49.05
And let me tell you
something about Dr. Julie.
00:04:49.08\00:04:51.75
She is the most committed
to mission person I know.
00:04:51.79\00:04:55.46
What she would do is
she would go serve in Alaska
00:04:55.49\00:04:58.16
and make
significant amount of money
00:04:58.19\00:05:02.06
for a couple of months,
00:05:02.10\00:05:03.43
and then she'd go and
serve somewhere in the world
00:05:03.47\00:05:05.53
where they needed medical care.
00:05:05.57\00:05:06.90
Oh, wow.
00:05:06.94\00:05:08.27
So that's sort of says
00:05:08.30\00:05:09.64
who she is and how
committed she is to the Lord.
00:05:09.67\00:05:11.87
You have a heart
for ministry then.
00:05:11.91\00:05:13.51
What a perfect fit then to
work with Pathway to Health,
00:05:13.54\00:05:16.51
because that's what
Pathway to Health is all about.
00:05:16.54\00:05:18.25
We're so blessed. We're
very blessed to have her.
00:05:18.28\00:05:20.18
Yeah, that's incredible.
00:05:20.22\00:05:21.55
So I was going to
say we save the best
00:05:21.58\00:05:22.92
for last but I
don't know if that's true,
00:05:22.95\00:05:24.32
but this is the President
and CEO of Pathway to Health.
00:05:24.35\00:05:28.79
This is Ivan,
00:05:28.82\00:05:30.16
I'm going to flawed
your last name Golubic.
00:05:30.19\00:05:31.79
Golubic.
00:05:31.83\00:05:33.16
Thank you. Okay.
00:05:33.19\00:05:34.53
We're so glad to have you here.
00:05:34.56\00:05:35.90
So tell me a little
bit about your background,
00:05:35.93\00:05:37.97
and how you became
involved in Pathway to Health?
00:05:38.00\00:05:40.37
Well, before we go
into my background,
00:05:40.40\00:05:42.67
I really want to thank 3ABN
00:05:42.70\00:05:44.54
for all the support
throughout the years
00:05:44.57\00:05:45.94
and for you hosting us here.
00:05:45.97\00:05:47.34
It's been, it's a
great honor to be here
00:05:47.38\00:05:49.44
and privilege to work with
you throughout these years.
00:05:49.48\00:05:52.85
So a little bit about me,
very unusual path to get here.
00:05:52.88\00:05:58.52
I did undergraduate
with finance at Andrews,
00:05:58.55\00:06:02.49
went into corporate world
00:06:02.52\00:06:04.19
and mainly with
Fortune 200 companies Ford,
00:06:04.23\00:06:07.13
Whirlpool and landed
00:06:07.16\00:06:08.86
at Goodyear Tire
and Rubber Company
00:06:08.90\00:06:11.53
for over a decade
before coming to Pathway I was,
00:06:11.57\00:06:15.00
I served in
many different roles,
00:06:15.04\00:06:17.57
ended as a Vice President
00:06:17.61\00:06:19.51
of Corporate
Development Strategy
00:06:19.54\00:06:21.21
for Goodyear globally.
00:06:21.24\00:06:24.11
That put me in a
really interesting position
00:06:24.15\00:06:25.88
because a lot of my
job was putting mergers
00:06:25.91\00:06:28.92
and acquisitions together.
00:06:28.95\00:06:30.29
It was a great
project management,
00:06:30.32\00:06:31.85
of managing big
projects, and Pathway
00:06:31.89\00:06:34.26
when we put it
together is a big project.
00:06:34.29\00:06:37.39
So initially,
00:06:37.43\00:06:38.83
when I started
talking to Dr. Lela,
00:06:38.86\00:06:41.93
our daughters were
in the same school.
00:06:41.96\00:06:43.37
So that's how we
met and I'm like,
00:06:43.40\00:06:44.73
"Well, I do projects."
00:06:44.77\00:06:46.23
And that's how I got involved
Pathway in the first place.
00:06:46.27\00:06:47.87
And then I came on the board.
00:06:47.90\00:06:49.24
And after a few
years on the board,
00:06:49.27\00:06:50.67
I decided to take a little break
00:06:50.71\00:06:52.11
from corporate
world and come to Pathway.
00:06:52.14\00:06:54.54
Yeah.
00:06:54.58\00:06:55.91
There's a little bit of a story
about how he came to Pathway.
00:06:55.94\00:06:59.15
Let's hear it.
00:06:59.18\00:07:00.52
Okay, so, Benny Moore who
had hoped to be here today,
00:07:00.55\00:07:04.75
he's doing great,
00:07:04.79\00:07:06.12
and sends his warmest
regards to you and Greg, Jill.
00:07:06.15\00:07:08.89
We love Benny.
00:07:08.92\00:07:10.33
He's been a part of
the Ministry of Pathway
00:07:10.36\00:07:12.63
to Health and just really
part of 3ABN for many years.
00:07:12.66\00:07:15.13
Absolutely. Absolutely.
00:07:15.16\00:07:17.10
So Benny suffered
a stroke last summer
00:07:17.13\00:07:19.63
and because the
Chief Operating Officer had
00:07:19.67\00:07:25.11
become ill and had to resign,
he was really running Pathway.
00:07:25.14\00:07:28.71
He was our Chief
Operating Officer.
00:07:28.74\00:07:31.85
And no one knew what was going
to be involved his recovery.
00:07:31.88\00:07:35.28
And I remember thinking,
00:07:35.32\00:07:36.89
"What are we going
to do about Pathway?
00:07:36.92\00:07:38.29
Who's going to run Pathway?"
00:07:38.32\00:07:39.69
And I was so concerned.
00:07:39.72\00:07:41.06
I actually fell asleep praying,
00:07:41.09\00:07:42.42
"Lord, what are we going to do?"
00:07:42.46\00:07:44.13
The next morning,
00:07:44.16\00:07:45.49
I received a
phone call from Ivan.
00:07:45.53\00:07:47.10
And he said, "Kathryn,
this is little awkward,
00:07:47.13\00:07:49.53
but I just really feel impressed
00:07:49.56\00:07:53.23
that I'm
supposed to take a break
00:07:53.27\00:07:54.60
from my corporate career
00:07:54.64\00:07:55.97
and help Benny
organize and run Pathway."
00:07:56.00\00:07:59.07
He had no idea
about Benny's stroke.
00:07:59.11\00:08:01.58
So we know that he's
here by divine appointment.
00:08:01.61\00:08:04.25
Praise God. Amen.
00:08:04.28\00:08:05.61
Our God does exceedingly,
00:08:05.65\00:08:07.58
abundantly above anything
that we can ask or think.
00:08:07.62\00:08:11.32
Amen.
00:08:11.35\00:08:12.69
Amen What amazing God we serve.
00:08:12.72\00:08:14.06
You know, just
when the need is there,
00:08:14.09\00:08:15.42
just when God
drops it into your heart,
00:08:15.46\00:08:18.36
the need is there
and it's a perfect fit.
00:08:18.39\00:08:20.03
So praise the
Lord. That's exciting.
00:08:20.06\00:08:21.83
So, Ivan, we're going
to start with you as far
00:08:21.86\00:08:23.87
as talking about
Pathway to Health.
00:08:23.90\00:08:25.63
Someone might be
watching and saying,
00:08:25.67\00:08:27.17
"Well, I understand
00:08:27.20\00:08:28.54
they provide free medical care."
00:08:28.57\00:08:29.90
But what exactly
is Pathway to Health?
00:08:29.94\00:08:32.17
And can you describe
what it looks like an event?
00:08:32.21\00:08:35.64
I'll do my best.
00:08:35.68\00:08:37.01
So Pathway to Health
00:08:37.05\00:08:38.38
is humanitarian
nonprofits service
00:08:38.41\00:08:40.98
of the
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:08:41.02\00:08:42.72
We offer free health care
00:08:42.75\00:08:45.52
in the cities
throughout the United States.
00:08:45.55\00:08:48.39
But we offer more
than just medical care,
00:08:48.42\00:08:50.49
we focus on whole person health,
00:08:50.53\00:08:53.13
including physical,
spiritual, and mental health.
00:08:53.16\00:08:57.63
However, over the years,
00:08:59.70\00:09:01.04
we really became a
movement for sharing our love
00:09:01.07\00:09:04.71
and the blessings we received
from God with those around us.
00:09:04.74\00:09:07.94
And that is our
really primary mission.
00:09:07.98\00:09:10.55
We serve our neighbors,
00:09:10.58\00:09:12.85
those under
served around the cities,
00:09:12.88\00:09:16.18
whether you are
under insured, uninsured,
00:09:16.22\00:09:19.59
or even insured,
00:09:19.62\00:09:20.96
you can come and be our patient.
00:09:20.99\00:09:25.86
We serve
citizens and non-citizen,
00:09:25.89\00:09:28.93
no questions asked,
and it's always free.
00:09:28.96\00:09:32.13
And rather than
trying to explain
00:09:32.17\00:09:33.70
how the Pathway
event looks like,
00:09:33.74\00:09:35.60
I think it's
better to take a video.
00:09:35.64\00:09:37.11
We'll take a look
at a video and show you
00:09:37.14\00:09:38.91
what the events have
looked like in the past.
00:09:38.94\00:09:40.44
Oh, wonderful.
00:09:40.48\00:09:41.81
Let's take a look at
that video right now.
00:09:41.84\00:09:43.21
In every
community there is need.
00:09:49.25\00:09:54.32
For some, the need
is not easy to spot,
00:09:54.36\00:09:58.19
but is very real.
00:09:58.23\00:10:00.83
For others, the need is obvious.
00:10:00.86\00:10:03.77
And in many cases, desperate.
00:10:03.80\00:10:07.10
Many have recognized
the need, counties, cities,
00:10:11.97\00:10:16.54
businesses,
00:10:16.58\00:10:17.91
civic and faith based
00:10:17.95\00:10:19.28
organizations have come together
00:10:19.31\00:10:20.98
to make a tangible
difference in the lives
00:10:21.02\00:10:23.59
of those who make
up our communities.
00:10:23.62\00:10:26.82
Among these partnerships,
your best Pathway to Health,
00:10:26.86\00:10:30.79
a humanitarian service
00:10:30.83\00:10:32.16
of the Seventh-day
Adventist Church has
00:10:32.19\00:10:34.86
joined forces with county
00:10:34.90\00:10:36.43
and city leaders
across North America
00:10:36.46\00:10:39.20
to bring hope and wholeness
to those who need it most.
00:10:39.23\00:10:43.91
I am so grateful that I came,
00:10:43.94\00:10:47.18
and if I had my way I
bring everybody else I could.
00:10:47.21\00:10:50.85
I can't thank you guys enough.
00:10:50.88\00:10:52.71
I really can't.
00:10:52.75\00:10:55.18
I have to say,
00:10:55.22\00:10:56.55
my first thought
at the event was,
00:10:56.58\00:10:59.15
"That sounds too
good to be true."
00:10:59.19\00:11:01.02
My expectations have been
00:11:01.06\00:11:03.49
exceeded by more
than I can describe.
00:11:03.53\00:11:07.00
Through my tour yesterday,
00:11:07.03\00:11:08.66
it's magnificent
when I see the looks
00:11:08.70\00:11:11.00
on those you observed,
00:11:11.03\00:11:12.83
when I see the looks on the face
00:11:12.87\00:11:15.24
of those volunteers,
00:11:15.27\00:11:17.54
that's a very
lack of a better word,
00:11:17.57\00:11:19.27
very magical experience.
00:11:19.31\00:11:22.28
Together with
partnering businesses,
00:11:22.31\00:11:24.05
nonprofit organizations,
00:11:24.08\00:11:25.81
and thousands of volunteers,
00:11:25.85\00:11:27.98
Pathway to Health has organized
00:11:28.02\00:11:29.58
a nationwide
three day mega clinics,
00:11:29.62\00:11:32.19
which are able
to provide medical,
00:11:32.22\00:11:35.02
dental, vision,
00:11:35.06\00:11:36.96
and many other
services free of charge
00:11:36.99\00:11:39.76
to thousands of local residents.
00:11:39.79\00:11:43.16
You know, it's overwhelming
to see the services going out,
00:11:43.20\00:11:46.10
it couldn't be done
without 2000 volunteers.
00:11:46.13\00:11:49.07
I'm really impressed with
the services you're offering,
00:11:49.10\00:11:52.01
portable X-rays, dental,
00:11:52.04\00:11:53.88
a little bit of
everything, even haircuts.
00:11:53.91\00:11:55.61
Thank you for talking about
00:11:55.64\00:11:56.98
people's
overall health and well.
00:11:57.01\00:11:58.88
And all of you
are doing God's work
00:11:58.91\00:12:00.68
and doing a yeoman's job of it.
00:12:00.72\00:12:02.55
So thank you.
00:12:02.58\00:12:05.32
Free services as
diverse as dental hygiene,
00:12:05.35\00:12:08.82
extractions and crowns.
00:12:08.86\00:12:10.56
Medical specialties,
including cardiology,
00:12:10.59\00:12:13.46
pediatrics, OB GYN,
and general surgery,
00:12:13.50\00:12:18.13
along with
comprehensive vision care,
00:12:18.17\00:12:20.34
and a full functioning
pharmacy are a standard part
00:12:20.37\00:12:23.77
of every Pathway
to Health mega clinic.
00:12:23.81\00:12:26.68
I am blown away,
00:12:26.71\00:12:28.84
blown away by the
level of care that's going
00:12:28.88\00:12:32.28
to be provided right
here in downtown Phoenix
00:12:32.31\00:12:35.08
at your convention center.
00:12:35.12\00:12:37.59
And up to 10,000 people
00:12:37.62\00:12:41.62
are going to come here
and get the medical care
00:12:41.66\00:12:45.56
that they've needed
for a long time, for free.
00:12:45.59\00:12:50.07
And I am so
lucky to be the mayor
00:12:50.10\00:12:52.03
that gets to have Pathways
to Health here in my city.
00:12:52.07\00:12:57.97
And I just
wanted to very briefly
00:12:58.01\00:12:59.94
express my sincere gratitude
00:12:59.97\00:13:02.64
and appreciation
to all the volunteers
00:13:02.68\00:13:06.15
in the
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:13:06.18\00:13:07.88
and everyone who is responsible
00:13:07.92\00:13:09.98
for putting
together this amazing event.
00:13:10.02\00:13:12.65
On behalf of the City Council
00:13:12.69\00:13:14.56
and the citizens of San Antonio,
00:13:14.59\00:13:17.03
we express a
huge, huge thank you,
00:13:17.06\00:13:19.76
Muchas gracias, as we
say here in San Antonio.
00:13:19.79\00:13:23.87
Launched in 2014,
00:13:23.90\00:13:25.83
Pathway to Health has to
date organized mega clinics
00:13:25.87\00:13:29.37
in cities such as San Francisco,
00:13:29.40\00:13:31.87
San Antonio, Los Angeles,
00:13:31.91\00:13:35.34
Phoenix, and Fort Worth.
00:13:35.38\00:13:38.05
In all, more than 14,500
volunteers have given away
00:13:38.08\00:13:42.92
$164 million in free health care
00:13:42.95\00:13:46.76
to more than 36,000 residents.
00:13:46.79\00:13:50.43
The impact has been significant.
00:13:50.46\00:13:53.96
But I'm leaving
her today so fulfilled
00:13:54.00\00:13:56.36
and so grateful
for all the angels
00:13:56.40\00:13:58.23
that God has placed in my life.
00:13:58.27\00:13:59.73
And the people that I've met
00:13:59.77\00:14:01.10
in medical have done
more for me in my life
00:14:01.14\00:14:05.17
and just a little bit of
time that I've known them
00:14:05.21\00:14:07.28
the most people I've
had in my life forever.
00:14:07.31\00:14:09.84
And I wanted to say
thank you to everybody
00:14:09.88\00:14:11.91
for what they've
done for me in my life.
00:14:11.95\00:14:14.58
Without a doubt,
00:14:14.62\00:14:15.95
the success of
Pathway to Health rests
00:14:15.98\00:14:17.72
on strong partnerships
between mega clinic organizers,
00:14:17.75\00:14:21.09
and local civic
and business leaders
00:14:21.12\00:14:23.43
working together
to secure facilities
00:14:23.46\00:14:25.73
and to bring
awareness to as many residents
00:14:25.76\00:14:27.86
as possible Pathways
00:14:27.90\00:14:29.53
to Health mega
clinic provides free health,
00:14:29.56\00:14:32.83
dental and eye
care for Angelinos
00:14:32.87\00:14:35.20
and their family
members in there.
00:14:35.24\00:14:36.91
You can get prescriptions,
a regular checkup,
00:14:36.94\00:14:39.34
even surgery
without any red tape
00:14:39.37\00:14:41.81
and no other
requirement than to be in here.
00:14:41.84\00:14:44.98
As each Pathway
00:14:45.01\00:14:46.35
to Health mega clinic concludes,
00:14:46.38\00:14:48.12
one question
consistently rises to the top,
00:14:48.15\00:14:51.95
"Which city are
you going to next?"
00:14:51.99\00:14:55.02
Whether you have
already committed
00:14:55.06\00:14:56.56
to this partnership
or considering doing so.
00:14:56.59\00:14:59.89
We look forward
to working together
00:14:59.93\00:15:02.06
to bring hope and
healing to as many as possible,
00:15:02.10\00:15:06.07
one person at a time.
00:15:06.10\00:15:07.60
Amen. What an incredible event.
00:15:19.38\00:15:22.48
As I think about
Pathway to Health,
00:15:22.52\00:15:24.09
Greg and I had
the privilege of being
00:15:24.12\00:15:25.45
there in San Antonio, 2015.
00:15:25.49\00:15:27.59
And seeing the line of people
00:15:27.62\00:15:29.32
line up all night
waiting for their turn
00:15:29.36\00:15:31.93
to have surgery or medical care,
00:15:31.96\00:15:34.30
dental or vision and seeing
the people as they came out,
00:15:34.33\00:15:37.67
lives transformed and touched.
00:15:37.70\00:15:39.63
Just an amazing experience.
00:15:39.67\00:15:41.00
So, Ivan, tell us
where Pathway is going next?
00:15:41.04\00:15:43.37
Where's the next event?
00:15:43.41\00:15:44.74
Well, I'm excited to tell you,
00:15:44.77\00:15:46.11
we're going to be in
Indianapolis in 2022.
00:15:46.14\00:15:49.64
And we were actually
there just for the weekend.
00:15:49.68\00:15:51.71
And I was turn on the TV,
00:15:51.75\00:15:54.75
and there was a game
right, a few blocks away.
00:15:54.78\00:15:57.39
And the announcer said,
00:15:57.42\00:15:58.75
it's Lucas Oil Stadium
00:15:58.79\00:16:00.16
and is one of the
most beautiful venues
00:16:00.19\00:16:02.99
in the country.
00:16:03.02\00:16:04.36
And that's where we will
be at the Lucas Oil Stadium,
00:16:04.39\00:16:07.20
April 17th through
20th is our medical clinic.
00:16:07.23\00:16:10.77
Our operation start
on the 14th of April
00:16:10.80\00:16:13.37
and conclude on the 21st.
00:16:13.40\00:16:15.40
It's amazing.
00:16:15.44\00:16:16.77
So coming up next year.
00:16:16.81\00:16:18.14
And the interesting
thing is, God chose this date,
00:16:18.17\00:16:20.94
we didn't and it
happens to be over Easter.
00:16:20.98\00:16:24.05
Yes, He did.
00:16:24.08\00:16:25.45
So what better way to introduce
Pathway than on Easter Sunday
00:16:25.48\00:16:30.02
and share the love of
Christ that He gave for us
00:16:30.05\00:16:35.02
and resurrected on that day,
00:16:35.06\00:16:37.43
so we can share that love
with the rest of the world.
00:16:37.46\00:16:40.16
Now, it's really interesting,
00:16:40.20\00:16:41.53
because usually
Pathway to Health is always
00:16:41.56\00:16:43.16
in conjunction with
the General Conference
00:16:43.20\00:16:44.67
in the same city.
00:16:44.70\00:16:46.33
So I know we were going
to have General Conference
00:16:46.37\00:16:48.30
there in Indianapolis, but
now it's moved to St. Louis.
00:16:48.34\00:16:51.44
So why did Pathway decide
to still stay in Indianapolis?
00:16:51.47\00:16:55.94
Well, it was an
interesting journey,
00:16:55.98\00:17:00.22
and it had to do with COVID.
00:17:00.25\00:17:03.12
But normally,
you're right, Jill.
00:17:03.15\00:17:05.12
As you know, we,
once every five years,
00:17:05.15\00:17:07.36
there's a special event
when the worldwide church
00:17:07.39\00:17:09.56
comes together to do
the church's business.
00:17:09.59\00:17:11.83
So thousands of people
come from all over the world,
00:17:11.86\00:17:16.00
to whatever city,
00:17:16.03\00:17:17.83
the General Conference
Session is going to happen.
00:17:17.87\00:17:20.20
And so Indianapolis has
been planned for many years.
00:17:20.24\00:17:22.84
So that's why it was chosen.
00:17:22.87\00:17:25.77
And what
happened was just before
00:17:25.81\00:17:31.05
we were ready to, I would say,
00:17:31.08\00:17:33.58
it was less than a
month before we were ready
00:17:33.62\00:17:35.78
to have the Pathway
event, COVID happened.
00:17:35.82\00:17:37.72
And...
00:17:37.75\00:17:39.09
That would have
been March of 2020?
00:17:39.12\00:17:40.46
It was March,
exactly right, of 2020.
00:17:40.49\00:17:42.92
And so the General
Conference had to postpone.
00:17:42.96\00:17:46.13
No one could meet in
groups of more than 200.
00:17:46.16\00:17:48.73
Both venues were
way more than 200.
00:17:48.76\00:17:51.53
And so, we put it
in the Lord's hands.
00:17:51.57\00:17:54.80
And we were able to,
00:17:54.84\00:17:56.17
the General Conference
was able to reschedule,
00:17:56.20\00:17:58.14
we were able to
reschedule for the 2021.
00:17:58.17\00:18:02.54
Okay. And it happened again.
00:18:02.58\00:18:04.88
And so it had to be
postponed in January,
00:18:04.91\00:18:08.38
because imagine people
coming from all over the world,
00:18:08.42\00:18:10.62
you can't travel right
now, you can't get visas,
00:18:10.65\00:18:13.56
and we need the
worldwide church to be present.
00:18:13.59\00:18:15.49
So it was again
postponed to 2022.
00:18:15.52\00:18:19.16
But this time,
00:18:19.19\00:18:20.53
they couldn't accommodate
the General Conference
00:18:20.56\00:18:22.53
on the dates that
they needed the facilities.
00:18:22.56\00:18:24.63
In Indianapolis?
00:18:24.67\00:18:26.00
In Indianapolis. Okay.
00:18:26.03\00:18:27.37
And so,
00:18:27.40\00:18:28.74
we found out
00:18:28.77\00:18:31.67
quite suddenly that Pathway
00:18:31.71\00:18:35.68
is actually I mean, excuse me,
00:18:35.71\00:18:37.25
the General Conference
00:18:37.28\00:18:38.61
is actually
going to have to move.
00:18:38.65\00:18:39.98
This put Pathway
into a real dilemma.
00:18:40.02\00:18:42.65
What are we going to do?
00:18:42.68\00:18:44.02
I mean, you
remember the discussions
00:18:44.05\00:18:45.39
we have on the board?
00:18:45.42\00:18:46.76
Do we follow the
General Conference
00:18:46.79\00:18:48.82
and support the event like
we usually do, or do we stay?
00:18:48.86\00:18:53.66
And there was a lot
of talk, a lot of prayer,
00:18:53.70\00:18:56.77
but the real issue was
for three and a half years,
00:18:56.80\00:19:02.04
the union, the conferences,
00:19:02.07\00:19:03.54
the pastors and the
churches had been praying,
00:19:03.57\00:19:07.91
preparing,
00:19:07.94\00:19:09.28
organizing evangelistic
events to support Pathway,
00:19:09.31\00:19:13.62
and most of all, the
General Conference Session.
00:19:13.65\00:19:16.08
They'd worked so hard.
00:19:16.12\00:19:17.45
So I just want to
pause a moment because
00:19:17.49\00:19:19.42
you said three and a half years.
00:19:19.45\00:19:20.79
Yes.
00:19:20.82\00:19:22.16
So this means when
you do a mega clinic,
00:19:22.19\00:19:23.73
a Pathway to Health event,
00:19:23.76\00:19:25.19
we're talking years
00:19:25.23\00:19:26.56
of preparation
before it even starts.
00:19:26.59\00:19:28.26
Well, months and
months and months for sure.
00:19:28.30\00:19:30.27
But yes...
00:19:30.30\00:19:31.63
I would say yes, yes. Okay.
00:19:31.67\00:19:33.60
Yes, it's true.
00:19:33.64\00:19:35.30
It's true. It's true.
00:19:35.34\00:19:37.74
And so we
didn't know what to do.
00:19:37.77\00:19:39.61
And so I called Elder Valentine,
00:19:39.64\00:19:41.51
who was the union
president at that time
00:19:41.54\00:19:45.55
of the Lake Union and
I said, "Elder Valentine,
00:19:45.58\00:19:47.82
what do you want us to do?"
00:19:47.85\00:19:50.32
You know what, and he said,
00:19:50.35\00:19:51.69
"You mean you
might consider staying?
00:19:51.72\00:19:54.46
You might, we just assumed
we're going to lose that way."
00:19:54.49\00:19:58.49
And I said, "We are going to do
what the Lord tells us to do."
00:19:58.53\00:20:01.56
And we've had
several, as you know,
00:20:01.60\00:20:03.47
different calls
with the presidents
00:20:03.50\00:20:06.67
of both conferences,
some of their leaders,
00:20:06.70\00:20:08.47
their pastors,
their evangelists.
00:20:08.50\00:20:10.14
And it became very clear
00:20:10.17\00:20:11.97
that if we were
to go to St. Louis,
00:20:12.01\00:20:14.04
all of the time
that they had spent
00:20:14.08\00:20:16.91
not just preparing for Pathway,
00:20:16.95\00:20:18.75
but what they had
been planning for the city,
00:20:18.78\00:20:21.45
for the
outreach, the evangelism,
00:20:21.48\00:20:23.55
it would all be for nothing.
00:20:23.59\00:20:25.52
And so as you
know, our board met,
00:20:25.55\00:20:27.02
and we
unanimously prayed and talked,
00:20:27.06\00:20:30.99
and voted to
stay in Indianapolis.
00:20:31.03\00:20:33.26
And, Jill, you
remember during that phone call,
00:20:33.29\00:20:35.16
we got a special
message from Elder Wilson.
00:20:35.20\00:20:37.20
We did.
00:20:37.23\00:20:38.83
And what he basically
said was encouraging us,
00:20:38.87\00:20:43.04
"It's okay if you don't
come to General Conference."
00:20:43.07\00:20:45.97
Encouraging us to
stay in Indianapolis
00:20:46.01\00:20:48.51
and to support all of the
work that had happened there,
00:20:48.54\00:20:51.18
the incredible
work that had been done.
00:20:51.21\00:20:53.58
And he said he was
going to do something unusual.
00:20:53.62\00:20:56.69
He was going to
come and it was already
00:20:56.72\00:20:58.15
in the schedule
right after Pathway
00:20:58.19\00:21:00.36
and personally do
00:21:00.39\00:21:01.72
as an evangelistic
series for the city.
00:21:01.76\00:21:03.53
Yes, that's incredible.
00:21:03.56\00:21:04.89
You know, what I love,
00:21:04.93\00:21:06.26
one of the things I love
about Pathway is the combination
00:21:06.29\00:21:08.76
of the medical
with the spiritual.
00:21:08.80\00:21:11.10
Yes. And follow...
00:21:11.13\00:21:12.57
Yes, whole person
health, following up with,
00:21:12.60\00:21:15.54
and tell me, just a moment,
00:21:15.57\00:21:16.91
we'll divert a
moment about the follow up
00:21:16.94\00:21:18.67
that happens after
Pathway with the spiritual,
00:21:18.71\00:21:20.94
and anyone can jump,
00:21:20.98\00:21:22.31
and the spiritual
as well as the medical.
00:21:22.34\00:21:23.68
What happens with that?
00:21:23.71\00:21:25.05
Well, we definitely have a
lot of follow ups opportunities
00:21:25.08\00:21:28.45
and programs for the
people that come to the event.
00:21:28.48\00:21:32.39
And they are both spiritual,
00:21:32.42\00:21:34.26
as well as medical
oriented and focused programs.
00:21:34.29\00:21:37.39
So if people need
medical care that follow up,
00:21:37.43\00:21:40.70
we can coach them and guide them
00:21:40.73\00:21:42.06
how to live their lives better,
00:21:42.10\00:21:43.60
how to eat better,
how to exercise better.
00:21:43.63\00:21:46.03
If they need spiritual
care, we can also provide that.
00:21:46.07\00:21:49.40
And we're
putting the final touches
00:21:49.44\00:21:51.21
on the next event of
what is going to look like.
00:21:51.24\00:21:53.41
And we're hoping to have
mental help as well for people
00:21:53.44\00:21:56.54
who come in and need help there.
00:21:56.58\00:21:59.51
But Kathryn is
actually in charge
00:21:59.55\00:22:01.25
of our follow up here.
00:22:01.28\00:22:03.08
So I'll turn it over
to her to finish it up.
00:22:03.12\00:22:05.52
Well, actually, the truth is,
00:22:05.55\00:22:07.56
it is the local
people on the ground
00:22:07.59\00:22:11.36
who are really in charge.
00:22:11.39\00:22:12.79
Because we come for a week,
00:22:12.83\00:22:15.03
and we do our best to
introduce the community
00:22:15.06\00:22:18.13
really by following
Jesus' example by meeting
00:22:18.17\00:22:21.07
their physical
needs, but then we leave.
00:22:21.10\00:22:24.11
And the exciting
thing about Indianapolis
00:22:24.14\00:22:26.84
is the incredible work
00:22:26.88\00:22:28.88
that has been done
by the local people.
00:22:28.91\00:22:30.28
So the outreach is going to be
coordinated by Kathryn Griffin,
00:22:30.31\00:22:34.15
and also by Elder Tunde
from the two conferences.
00:22:34.18\00:22:37.32
They each have a representative.
00:22:37.35\00:22:38.85
They have a plan that's going
to go on for months and months.
00:22:38.89\00:22:41.16
There's many things planned.
00:22:41.19\00:22:43.29
And one exciting
thing that we have learned
00:22:43.32\00:22:45.56
is that Adventist World Radio
00:22:45.59\00:22:47.36
is going to come
and have a presence
00:22:47.40\00:22:49.43
and offers cell phone evangelism
00:22:49.46\00:22:51.50
for those that are interested.
00:22:51.53\00:22:52.87
I mean, it's, when
you come to Pathway,
00:22:52.90\00:22:55.30
you're coming to get care.
00:22:55.34\00:22:56.91
We don't pressure anyone,
00:22:56.94\00:22:58.37
but many people really
want spiritual healing.
00:22:58.41\00:23:01.91
And so we make
that available as well.
00:23:01.94\00:23:04.51
Amen.
00:23:04.55\00:23:05.88
The real ministry
happens after we leave.
00:23:05.91\00:23:08.35
And that's what
we're so excited about.
00:23:08.38\00:23:10.45
I've never seen
such a committed,
00:23:10.49\00:23:13.02
from the union
to the conference,
00:23:13.05\00:23:14.82
down to every single pastor.
00:23:14.86\00:23:16.66
They are on fire to
show their community
00:23:16.69\00:23:20.33
and their cities
and surrounding areas
00:23:20.36\00:23:25.00
the love of Jesus.
00:23:25.03\00:23:26.37
Amen. It's exciting
to see God's leading.
00:23:26.40\00:23:28.07
Absolutely.
00:23:28.10\00:23:29.44
Absolutely. Yes.
00:23:29.47\00:23:30.81
Yes. Oh, that's exciting.
00:23:30.84\00:23:32.17
So we talked at the
very beginning, Ivan,
00:23:32.21\00:23:33.54
about the
transition in leadership
00:23:33.58\00:23:35.68
and how God called you to step
in as the President and CEO.
00:23:35.71\00:23:38.91
So tell us how Pathway
to Health has transitioned
00:23:38.95\00:23:42.68
or has changed or
adjusted under your leadership?
00:23:42.72\00:23:45.95
I always like the
quote by John Maxwell,
00:23:45.99\00:23:48.46
and it goes something like this,
00:23:48.49\00:23:50.49
"Change is
inevitable, growth is optional."
00:23:50.53\00:23:53.90
I like that.
00:23:53.93\00:23:55.53
COVID changed everything.
00:23:55.56\00:23:56.97
It changed how we live, it
would change how we go out,
00:23:57.00\00:24:00.50
how we grocery shop.
00:24:00.54\00:24:02.37
It definitely
changed how we're going
00:24:02.40\00:24:04.21
to be doing the Pathway event.
00:24:04.24\00:24:05.74
Dr. Bryson is going to go
00:24:05.77\00:24:07.11
a little bit
more into the details
00:24:07.14\00:24:08.48
of that of how is
that going to look like,
00:24:08.51\00:24:10.55
and we still
actually don't know because
00:24:10.58\00:24:12.08
it's changing every week.
00:24:12.11\00:24:13.72
Yeah.
00:24:13.75\00:24:15.08
But it was about a year ago,
00:24:15.12\00:24:16.45
we sat around a table actually
00:24:16.48\00:24:17.95
we set in front
of our zoom screens,
00:24:17.99\00:24:19.75
to be precise, and we...
00:24:19.79\00:24:23.96
There is a change in leadership,
00:24:23.99\00:24:26.73
but just wanted to
remind everybody it's,
00:24:26.76\00:24:29.80
we've all been with
Pathway involved for years.
00:24:29.83\00:24:33.03
So we're, we may be
new faces on the cameras,
00:24:33.07\00:24:35.30
but we've all been with
Pathway for years before that.
00:24:35.34\00:24:39.84
And we started talking about it,
00:24:39.87\00:24:41.21
what is the most important thing
00:24:41.24\00:24:42.81
we need to focus on?
00:24:42.84\00:24:44.18
And three things were so obvious
00:24:44.21\00:24:48.08
to us that jumped
up there nothing else
00:24:48.12\00:24:49.75
could really be
that important to it.
00:24:49.78\00:24:51.92
And one was our
focus of the priority
00:24:51.95\00:24:55.99
for personal spiritual growth,
00:24:56.02\00:24:57.93
starting with a leadership.
00:24:57.96\00:24:59.29
Okay.
00:24:59.33\00:25:00.66
And that's what we
started focusing on.
00:25:00.70\00:25:02.10
We started doing
Friday night prayer meetings,
00:25:02.13\00:25:05.90
and want to make
sure that we as leadership
00:25:05.93\00:25:07.97
of the organization are
truly focusing ourselves
00:25:08.00\00:25:11.31
on a personal spiritual growth.
00:25:11.34\00:25:13.24
That's good.
00:25:13.27\00:25:14.61
The second part was,
that really jumped out was,
00:25:14.64\00:25:18.05
it wasn't only about what we do,
00:25:18.08\00:25:21.05
but also how we do it,
how we treat our patients,
00:25:21.08\00:25:24.65
but also just as important
how we treat each other.
00:25:24.69\00:25:28.16
And we want to
make sure we put Christ
00:25:28.19\00:25:30.03
in the center of
everything we do,
00:25:30.06\00:25:32.06
not only the service,
but also our attitudes,
00:25:32.09\00:25:36.16
our compassion, our
care for the patients,
00:25:36.20\00:25:39.53
and for each other.
00:25:39.57\00:25:41.17
And the third part
of that process was,
00:25:41.20\00:25:45.47
we're not doing
this by ourselves.
00:25:45.51\00:25:47.41
This is not a
monopoly of ministry.
00:25:47.44\00:25:49.48
Amen.
00:25:49.51\00:25:50.85
We need to partner with
00:25:50.88\00:25:52.58
local churches with
unions, with conferences.
00:25:52.61\00:25:55.75
We're blessed to
have two conferences,
00:25:55.78\00:25:57.12
Lake Region Conference,
00:25:57.15\00:25:58.49
Lake Union
Conference in the area,
00:25:58.52\00:25:59.95
and also with
North American Division.
00:25:59.99\00:26:01.66
We have to do it together.
00:26:01.69\00:26:03.59
As well, as we
have launched a program
00:26:03.63\00:26:06.26
to partner with
other ministries,
00:26:06.29\00:26:08.43
and which we'll talk a
little bit in a second,
00:26:08.46\00:26:11.60
other ministers are
doing the same work.
00:26:11.63\00:26:13.54
You say, how can
we do this together?
00:26:13.57\00:26:15.37
Because we can only reach
our full potential with God,
00:26:15.40\00:26:19.01
if we join our
forces and do it united.
00:26:19.04\00:26:22.34
Amen. Absolutely.
00:26:22.38\00:26:23.71
You know, I think when
you look at leadership,
00:26:23.75\00:26:25.38
it's so vitally
important that you have purpose,
00:26:25.41\00:26:29.08
that you have vision,
00:26:29.12\00:26:30.45
and that you have follow
through and walk that out.
00:26:30.49\00:26:32.82
And it's so
exciting to see with Pathway,
00:26:32.85\00:26:35.09
those prayer
meetings on Friday night,
00:26:35.12\00:26:37.06
and that, that
prayer time together
00:26:37.09\00:26:38.79
and that seeking God
00:26:38.83\00:26:40.16
and then walking out that vision
00:26:40.20\00:26:42.40
that God has given to you.
00:26:42.43\00:26:43.77
So thank you. That's exciting.
00:26:43.80\00:26:45.40
As I think about the
upcoming event, Kathryn,
00:26:45.43\00:26:47.64
are there
concerns about the event?
00:26:47.67\00:26:49.24
I'm just thinking
COVID, number one,
00:26:49.27\00:26:51.47
but are there
concerns about the event?
00:26:51.51\00:26:53.78
What can we be praying
for specifically about that?
00:26:53.81\00:26:57.35
Thank you, Jill, that
is such a great question.
00:26:57.38\00:26:59.88
And you know this,
00:26:59.91\00:27:01.25
I have something that's
a real burden on my heart.
00:27:01.28\00:27:03.42
And that is that we
pray to come together
00:27:03.45\00:27:06.76
in unity of purpose
to serve at Pathway.
00:27:06.79\00:27:10.53
And, I've just been
thinking about COVID,
00:27:10.56\00:27:13.09
and what's been happening
over the past few months.
00:27:13.13\00:27:15.86
And well,
00:27:15.90\00:27:17.57
let me just start by
telling a little illustration
00:27:17.60\00:27:20.17
from my own life.
00:27:20.20\00:27:22.44
When I knew that I was
going to be an ambassador,
00:27:22.47\00:27:24.94
I went through
this period of time
00:27:24.97\00:27:26.31
where they were
training me to be a diplomat.
00:27:26.34\00:27:28.18
And the thing that was
urged over and over again,
00:27:28.21\00:27:31.55
you cannot under
any circumstances
00:27:31.58\00:27:35.38
show any type of favoritism
to either political party.
00:27:35.42\00:27:39.99
And if you do,
you will be fired.
00:27:40.02\00:27:42.69
It was that serious,
00:27:42.72\00:27:44.06
and you'll be on
the next plane home.
00:27:44.09\00:27:45.43
Well, why is
that such a big deal?
00:27:45.46\00:27:48.46
It is, for two reasons.
00:27:48.50\00:27:49.83
First of all, I'm not Maltese.
00:27:49.86\00:27:52.13
I am an American citizen.
00:27:52.17\00:27:53.77
So what they
decide who they vote for,
00:27:53.80\00:27:57.04
what government they
elect, that's their business,
00:27:57.07\00:28:00.74
it's none of my business.
00:28:00.78\00:28:02.71
But the more important point
00:28:02.74\00:28:04.18
is that if we align
with one side or another,
00:28:04.21\00:28:07.95
then we're going
to lose influence
00:28:07.98\00:28:09.38
on the other side,
and governments change.
00:28:09.42\00:28:11.62
So if you were to take
the side of the government,
00:28:11.65\00:28:13.96
because we're with them more,
and ignore those in opposition,
00:28:13.99\00:28:17.39
sooner or later, the opposition
will become the government.
00:28:17.43\00:28:19.86
And for years,
00:28:19.89\00:28:21.23
the United States may not be
00:28:21.26\00:28:22.90
able to really
advance our policies.
00:28:22.93\00:28:25.50
So it's a very serious thing.
00:28:25.53\00:28:27.70
So, you know, a strange thing
has happened in our country.
00:28:27.74\00:28:31.14
We have become
divided, politically divided.
00:28:33.14\00:28:36.58
It's happening in our country,
it's happening in our families,
00:28:36.61\00:28:39.35
it's happening
even in God's Church
00:28:39.38\00:28:41.68
where we're becoming divided.
00:28:41.72\00:28:43.72
It's really strange over
a health issue, over COVID.
00:28:43.75\00:28:47.76
You know, we're not, Jill,
00:28:47.79\00:28:49.46
we're not
citizens of this earth.
00:28:49.49\00:28:51.03
We are citizens of
the kingdom of God.
00:28:51.06\00:28:52.76
We are all ambassadors
of the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:28:52.79\00:28:56.56
And if we become a polarizing,
00:28:56.60\00:28:59.57
divisive force,
00:28:59.60\00:29:01.10
then we're going
to alienate those
00:29:01.14\00:29:02.60
that God wants
us to minister to.
00:29:02.64\00:29:04.67
And I think one of
the really strengths
00:29:04.71\00:29:07.14
of Pathway is unity.
00:29:07.18\00:29:09.94
We have, and you know,
00:29:09.98\00:29:11.31
you've seen it,
liberal Christians,
00:29:11.35\00:29:16.35
non-Adventist Christians,
00:29:16.38\00:29:17.75
conservative
Christians, laity...
00:29:17.79\00:29:21.66
Church leaders.
00:29:21.69\00:29:23.02
Church leaders, young,
very young and very, very old.
00:29:23.06\00:29:26.53
We've even had volunteers
00:29:26.56\00:29:27.90
in their 90s all coming together
00:29:27.93\00:29:30.07
for one purpose
to unite in serving,
00:29:30.10\00:29:33.77
like the hands
and feet of Jesus.
00:29:33.80\00:29:35.74
And so just pray for
unity because, you know,
00:29:35.77\00:29:38.74
there's a scripture
and this is the thing
00:29:38.77\00:29:43.24
that just keeps
coming to my heart and mind.
00:29:43.28\00:29:46.68
In John 17...
00:29:46.72\00:29:49.22
That's where I
was started. Awesome.
00:29:49.25\00:29:51.42
Yeah, I was thinking
that. Do you want to read it?
00:29:51.45\00:29:52.79
No, go ahead. Go for it.
00:29:52.82\00:29:54.16
Okay.
00:29:54.19\00:29:55.52
In John 17:20-21,
00:29:55.56\00:29:57.99
and this is just
before Jesus died.
00:29:58.03\00:29:59.36
"He prayed, My prayer
is not for them alone,
00:29:59.39\00:30:02.90
I pray also for
those who will believe
00:30:02.93\00:30:05.03
in Me through their message."
00:30:05.07\00:30:07.14
That's us. Yeah.
00:30:07.17\00:30:08.50
It's so cool to think
the last thing Jesus prayed
00:30:08.54\00:30:10.44
for He included us
in this generation,
00:30:10.47\00:30:13.31
that all of them might be one.
00:30:13.34\00:30:15.91
"Father, just as you
are in Me and I am in You,
00:30:15.94\00:30:20.52
may also be an
Us so that the world
00:30:20.55\00:30:24.19
may believe that
You have sent Me."
00:30:24.22\00:30:26.39
So somehow,
00:30:26.42\00:30:27.76
the unity of the churches
00:30:27.79\00:30:29.12
is actually tied
according to Jesus to the world
00:30:29.16\00:30:32.76
believing that
He's the Son of God.
00:30:32.79\00:30:34.20
So it's a really serious thing.
00:30:34.23\00:30:35.56
And I think that's why
00:30:35.60\00:30:36.93
He actually
sweat drops of blood.
00:30:36.97\00:30:40.14
He was agonizing over
the unity of the church.
00:30:40.17\00:30:43.37
So that tells me that
the devil wants to divide us.
00:30:43.41\00:30:47.11
And he will use anything,
00:30:47.14\00:30:48.58
including politics
that he can to do so.
00:30:48.61\00:30:51.08
So we just need
to pray for unity.
00:30:51.11\00:30:53.58
And I want Pathway to be
the best example of unity
00:30:53.62\00:30:57.25
and everyone coming together.
00:30:57.29\00:30:59.02
Amen. I like that.
00:30:59.05\00:31:00.39
You know, we
believe here at 3ABN,
00:31:00.42\00:31:02.29
unity is not uniformity really,
00:31:02.32\00:31:04.09
because it does not mean
00:31:04.13\00:31:05.86
that you don't
hold your viewpoint
00:31:05.89\00:31:07.60
and I hold a
viewpoint different,
00:31:07.63\00:31:08.96
and that's okay.
00:31:09.00\00:31:10.33
But that we still can
come together as brothers
00:31:10.37\00:31:13.44
and sisters praying for that.
00:31:13.47\00:31:15.40
And we can if we hold different
viewpoints, that's okay.
00:31:15.44\00:31:18.77
We don't argue about it.
00:31:18.81\00:31:20.14
We don't whatever,
00:31:20.18\00:31:21.51
we just move
forward for the purpose
00:31:21.54\00:31:23.55
of spreading the gospel
00:31:23.58\00:31:24.91
or the purpose of
holding these events.
00:31:24.95\00:31:26.28
So I love that.
That's beautiful.
00:31:26.31\00:31:27.78
So, Dr. Julie, we
got to come to you here.
00:31:27.82\00:31:29.85
Talk to us, as we
were talking about
00:31:29.88\00:31:31.29
some of the
challenges moving forward.
00:31:31.32\00:31:32.85
Of course, unity is one,
00:31:32.89\00:31:34.22
but what about
with the pandemic?
00:31:34.26\00:31:36.02
And how does the
pandemic even change or adjust,
00:31:36.06\00:31:39.79
how we hold these mega clinics,
00:31:39.83\00:31:42.03
because this is a lot of people
coming together all at once.
00:31:42.06\00:31:44.97
So what's that
going to look like?
00:31:45.00\00:31:46.60
Yeah, so one of the
major goals of Pathway
00:31:46.63\00:31:49.37
to Health in this
upcoming event is going
00:31:49.40\00:31:51.54
to be keeping our patients
00:31:51.57\00:31:53.78
and our volunteers safe
from COVID-19 infections.
00:31:53.81\00:31:58.41
Now, of course, that's not
completely within our power,
00:31:58.45\00:32:00.62
but to the best
of our abilities,
00:32:00.65\00:32:02.12
and with the grace of God,
we will plan ways to stay safe.
00:32:02.15\00:32:05.55
Okay.
00:32:05.59\00:32:06.92
We are basically
a mobile hospital.
00:32:06.96\00:32:09.02
So we will probably have,
00:32:09.06\00:32:11.23
we will have
protocols that you would find
00:32:11.26\00:32:13.43
in a hospital for safety,
for infection, disease control.
00:32:13.46\00:32:17.53
And that includes some things
that everybody knows about,
00:32:17.57\00:32:19.43
like hand hygiene,
keeping your hands clean,
00:32:19.47\00:32:21.67
everybody's doing that, right?
00:32:21.70\00:32:23.10
It will include spacing,
proper spacing between people,
00:32:23.14\00:32:27.64
between departments, if needed,
00:32:27.68\00:32:29.34
depending on what they're doing.
00:32:29.38\00:32:30.88
And it will include things
like keeping the lines down,
00:32:30.91\00:32:34.35
not having long lines.
00:32:34.38\00:32:35.72
So those long lines in the
past that you mentioned earlier,
00:32:35.75\00:32:37.82
we're going to
try to avoid that.
00:32:37.85\00:32:39.85
We're going to try to have,
00:32:39.89\00:32:41.22
not have large groups
of people in one space.
00:32:41.26\00:32:44.46
We're also going to
have patients wear masks.
00:32:44.49\00:32:47.76
And our volunteers will
either wear surgical masks
00:32:47.80\00:32:50.43
or N95 masks.
00:32:50.47\00:32:52.27
And some places some departments
00:32:52.30\00:32:54.17
and some people
will actually wear
00:32:54.20\00:32:55.57
other protective
equipment depending
00:32:55.60\00:32:57.51
on the level of risk of them
having exposure to droplets.
00:32:57.54\00:33:02.31
So we're looking at all
of these different things,
00:33:02.34\00:33:05.51
to kind of keep
things on a different line.
00:33:05.55\00:33:07.25
Now things change with
COVID, as we all know, right?
00:33:07.28\00:33:08.82
Right.
00:33:08.85\00:33:10.19
And a lot of people say, "Well,
how come is always changing?
00:33:10.22\00:33:11.62
How come they're always
telling me something different?"
00:33:11.65\00:33:13.02
Well, it makes sense,
because we're learning.
00:33:13.05\00:33:15.12
When COVID
started, we knew nothing.
00:33:15.16\00:33:16.69
And now we're gradually
building on that knowledge.
00:33:16.73\00:33:19.09
And science is
coming up with new things.
00:33:19.13\00:33:21.86
We're coming up
with new treatments,
00:33:21.90\00:33:23.23
new therapies, new
ideas of how to help people.
00:33:23.26\00:33:25.70
And so we'll be following that.
00:33:25.73\00:33:27.44
And also the virus changes.
00:33:27.47\00:33:29.40
So even while
we're trying to catch up,
00:33:29.44\00:33:31.34
it does something different,
00:33:31.37\00:33:32.71
and so we're going to
have to keep up with that.
00:33:32.74\00:33:34.08
But our goal and our
intention is to follow
00:33:34.11\00:33:37.15
the best clinical
guidelines for safety,
00:33:37.18\00:33:39.61
and for infection
disease control at the event
00:33:39.65\00:33:42.25
and then completely trust God
00:33:42.28\00:33:44.05
to take care of us
and to keep us safe.
00:33:44.09\00:33:47.92
Amen.
00:33:47.96\00:33:49.29
That's right, because
we do everything we can,
00:33:49.32\00:33:50.89
and then we pray
and trust Him, you know,
00:33:50.93\00:33:52.69
so you mentioned it
being like a mobile hospital,
00:33:52.73\00:33:54.93
I love that illustration.
00:33:54.96\00:33:56.50
What sort of services
will be offered to the patients
00:33:56.53\00:33:58.83
who come in Indianapolis?
00:33:58.87\00:34:00.20
Well, you saw the
list, it's still there.
00:34:00.24\00:34:02.10
There's going to be
eye care and glasses,
00:34:02.14\00:34:05.77
there's going
to still be dental.
00:34:05.81\00:34:07.34
And we're hoping for a
really good dental team.
00:34:07.38\00:34:09.08
We're really
looking forward to that.
00:34:09.11\00:34:10.98
We're trying to make
more available if possible,
00:34:11.01\00:34:13.05
we will have medical services
00:34:13.08\00:34:14.42
and that
includes a lot of things.
00:34:14.45\00:34:15.78
That includes
general medical services,
00:34:15.82\00:34:17.15
including specialties,
things like cardiology,
00:34:17.19\00:34:19.89
dermatology, podiatry,
00:34:19.92\00:34:23.09
there will be surgical services.
00:34:23.12\00:34:24.83
And we will have minor surgeries
00:34:24.86\00:34:27.13
at the site like
we have in the past
00:34:27.16\00:34:28.50
and we hope to also
have some surgeons working
00:34:28.53\00:34:30.73
in local hospitals
to do major surgeries.
00:34:30.77\00:34:33.84
We will have women's care,
00:34:33.87\00:34:35.30
but also we focus a
lot on the physical.
00:34:35.34\00:34:38.27
But we're also as
we've mentioned before,
00:34:38.31\00:34:39.84
very interested in
helping people with emotional,
00:34:39.87\00:34:42.21
mental health as
well as spiritual care.
00:34:42.24\00:34:44.21
So there will be
all those services.
00:34:44.25\00:34:45.58
And then there
are the fun things,
00:34:45.61\00:34:46.98
right, like some
physical therapy, massage.
00:34:47.02\00:34:49.68
Yes, I saw that in the video.
00:34:49.72\00:34:52.45
I don't want you for that.
00:34:52.49\00:34:53.82
And one of our staff members
came up with this great idea
00:34:53.86\00:34:56.02
for some people
who might be not,
00:34:56.06\00:34:58.69
they may not have a
home to get the shower in.
00:34:58.73\00:35:01.16
We're going to see if we
can get a shower unit available.
00:35:01.20\00:35:04.43
We're going to look
into that and partner
00:35:04.47\00:35:05.80
with another company to do that.
00:35:05.83\00:35:07.17
So we are open to ideas,
00:35:07.20\00:35:09.14
and we're trying to
bring as many services
00:35:09.17\00:35:11.61
as possible to the
people of Indianapolis.
00:35:11.64\00:35:13.68
So we're going to put up contact
00:35:13.71\00:35:15.04
for Pathway at the very end.
00:35:15.08\00:35:16.41
But I want to plug
your website right now,
00:35:16.44\00:35:17.78
because someone's
watching right now.
00:35:17.81\00:35:19.61
And you're
saying, "Oh, I'm a doctor,
00:35:19.65\00:35:21.62
I'm free those dates,
00:35:21.65\00:35:22.98
or I could make
myself available those dates.
00:35:23.02\00:35:25.72
I want to help.
00:35:25.75\00:35:27.12
And I want to get
involved in health evangelism."
00:35:27.16\00:35:30.13
Or maybe you're a nurse,
00:35:30.16\00:35:31.63
or maybe some sort of
health care professional,
00:35:31.66\00:35:34.00
or maybe you have
no medical training,
00:35:34.03\00:35:36.06
can you still use them?
00:35:36.10\00:35:37.67
Yes. Okay.
00:35:37.70\00:35:39.33
So that website
pathway to health. org
00:35:39.37\00:35:42.90
Can people go
right now and register?
00:35:42.94\00:35:44.71
They can go
right now and register,
00:35:44.74\00:35:46.07
you say get involved.
00:35:46.11\00:35:47.44
And you'll see a
list of both things,
00:35:47.48\00:35:51.01
how to get involved and help us,
00:35:51.05\00:35:52.61
as well as what are positions
we're right now looking for.
00:35:52.65\00:35:56.42
So you can go in
when you register
00:35:56.45\00:35:58.82
and volunteer for
that particular area.
00:35:58.85\00:36:00.89
Absolutely. Yeah.
00:36:00.92\00:36:02.52
That's exciting.
00:36:02.56\00:36:04.29
So we're
transitioning into volunteering,
00:36:04.33\00:36:08.10
but how many
volunteers do you need?
00:36:08.13\00:36:10.03
Oh, as many as we can get?
00:36:10.07\00:36:11.90
We need you.
00:36:11.93\00:36:14.07
Have you registered?
00:36:14.10\00:36:16.04
Well, I feel a
little put on the spot
00:36:16.07\00:36:18.04
at the moment asking that.
00:36:18.07\00:36:19.97
We need everybody.
00:36:20.01\00:36:21.34
I have not registered yet.
00:36:21.38\00:36:22.71
That's the honest
answer. But we need everybody.
00:36:22.74\00:36:24.41
And the point about
whether you're medical
00:36:24.45\00:36:26.88
or not is so important.
00:36:26.92\00:36:28.25
There are
people that are saying,
00:36:28.28\00:36:29.62
"I'm not medical, in fact,
I faint at the sight of blood.
00:36:29.65\00:36:31.85
I can't, you know,
I can't handle that."
00:36:31.89\00:36:33.79
We probably need more
non-medical volunteers
00:36:33.82\00:36:37.26
than we need medical.
00:36:37.29\00:36:38.63
Yeah.
00:36:38.66\00:36:40.00
Because there's so
many other things to do.
00:36:40.03\00:36:41.56
And there's, you know,
there's things like child care,
00:36:41.60\00:36:44.67
we actually have
children's programs going
00:36:44.70\00:36:46.37
on for both
volunteers and the patients.
00:36:46.40\00:36:49.94
We need, there's some
stuff on this list here.
00:36:49.97\00:36:51.44
I'm looking at the list.
00:36:51.47\00:36:52.81
Now if you look at that
list, you notice something,
00:36:52.84\00:36:54.18
all the medical specialties
00:36:54.21\00:36:55.54
and different
things that they need,
00:36:55.58\00:36:57.01
they're all needed, by
the way, we really need those.
00:36:57.05\00:36:58.41
But it looks longer
than the other list but
00:36:58.45\00:37:00.08
it shouldn't be
because there's other stuff
00:37:00.12\00:37:01.45
we can't fit on that card.
00:37:01.48\00:37:02.82
Okay.
00:37:02.85\00:37:04.19
So, you know, we
already mentioned haircuts,
00:37:04.22\00:37:05.55
you know, we need
people that can translate,
00:37:05.59\00:37:07.52
we need people that
can drive things in,
00:37:07.56\00:37:09.99
we need people that can unload,
00:37:10.03\00:37:11.69
we need people
that sets decorations,
00:37:11.73\00:37:14.00
all sorts of different things.
00:37:14.03\00:37:15.46
We especially need people
that can walk our patients
00:37:15.50\00:37:18.83
from place to place and,
00:37:18.87\00:37:20.20
we call that the
hospitality team.
00:37:20.24\00:37:21.57
Yes.
00:37:21.60\00:37:22.94
If they can reach
people, they have a connection
00:37:22.97\00:37:24.31
with the people, and they
help them to get the services
00:37:24.34\00:37:25.97
that they need to follow,
00:37:26.01\00:37:27.34
because it's a
big place and things,
00:37:27.38\00:37:28.71
people get lost.
00:37:28.74\00:37:30.08
And to help them and make
that connection with them,
00:37:30.11\00:37:32.51
to show them the love of Christ.
00:37:32.55\00:37:33.88
So there's a lot of
things you might come
00:37:33.92\00:37:35.32
and you might find
that you are doing something
00:37:35.35\00:37:37.35
you've never done in your life
before, and you might love it.
00:37:37.39\00:37:39.42
You might not, but you know,
00:37:39.45\00:37:40.79
it's going to be
a great experience.
00:37:40.82\00:37:42.16
So please register.
00:37:42.19\00:37:43.89
Yeah, absolutely.
00:37:43.93\00:37:45.26
I think the bottom line
00:37:45.29\00:37:46.63
is if you are
breathing right now...
00:37:46.66\00:37:48.23
And smiling.
00:37:48.26\00:37:49.60
If you can smile, then
you qualify as a volunteer.
00:37:49.63\00:37:52.20
Amen.
00:37:52.23\00:37:53.57
That's all you need is to
be able to travel, of course,
00:37:53.60\00:37:55.60
you'd need to be
able to travel there,
00:37:55.64\00:37:56.97
but to be able to travel
and to be able to do that.
00:37:57.01\00:37:58.61
Yeah. And that
reminds me of the age.
00:37:58.64\00:37:59.97
A lot of people ask
about what age can come?
00:38:00.01\00:38:01.61
So 13,
00:38:01.64\00:38:03.11
we can actually use people
13 and up for volunteering.
00:38:03.14\00:38:05.71
With the guardian.
00:38:05.75\00:38:07.08
We need a guardian with them,
00:38:07.12\00:38:08.45
guardian of some sort to
come and give them permission.
00:38:08.48\00:38:10.55
So I would say kids make
sure you bring your parents.
00:38:10.59\00:38:12.45
We need them too. Okay.
00:38:12.49\00:38:14.42
We need, we can use
people we'd mentioned, 99, 110,
00:38:14.46\00:38:18.59
whatever you're
like, please come,
00:38:18.63\00:38:20.43
we'll find a way to keep
you safe and keep you busy.
00:38:20.46\00:38:23.37
Yeah. That's wonderful.
00:38:23.40\00:38:24.73
So, Kathryn, besides volunteers,
00:38:24.77\00:38:27.44
what else do we
need for Pathway?
00:38:27.47\00:38:29.27
We need partners. Okay.
00:38:29.30\00:38:30.67
Because we can't do this alone.
00:38:30.71\00:38:32.97
It is so big and so massive.
00:38:33.01\00:38:36.01
And we have many partners.
00:38:36.04\00:38:37.38
We have, we talked about
some of our church partners,
00:38:37.41\00:38:39.95
that North American
Division, Adventist World Radio,
00:38:39.98\00:38:43.82
we've talked about
the Indiana Conference,
00:38:43.85\00:38:45.65
the Lake Regional
Conference and the Lake Union,
00:38:45.69\00:38:48.52
the normal church partners,
but thinking outside the box,
00:38:48.56\00:38:52.79
we need to partner
with different ministries.
00:38:52.83\00:38:55.43
We're really
excited that we're going
00:38:55.46\00:38:57.00
to be working
with sister ministries
00:38:57.03\00:38:58.90
like AMEN that and
we're excited about
00:38:58.93\00:39:02.30
that because we
do similar things.
00:39:02.34\00:39:04.61
And our dream is
that when Pathway leaves
00:39:04.64\00:39:07.78
on a periodic basis,
00:39:07.81\00:39:09.44
AMEN may come
and do another event.
00:39:09.48\00:39:11.75
But we're working together
and we're having so much fun.
00:39:11.78\00:39:14.98
So we're looking
for opportunities,
00:39:15.02\00:39:16.45
if any of you know,
00:39:16.48\00:39:17.82
if any of our viewers know,
00:39:17.85\00:39:19.55
a partnership that might work.
00:39:19.59\00:39:20.96
But if you think about it,
we cooperate with local labs,
00:39:20.99\00:39:24.89
we cooperate with
people on the ground,
00:39:24.93\00:39:27.43
not even necessarily
Christian organizations.
00:39:27.46\00:39:31.63
And by doing that,
00:39:31.67\00:39:33.67
it's kind of like the
body of Christ example.
00:39:33.70\00:39:37.71
Pathway's one piece of the body,
00:39:37.74\00:39:39.97
but it takes so
much more for this
00:39:40.01\00:39:42.61
to become a living beam.
00:39:42.64\00:39:44.81
We need partners
on levels that you
00:39:44.85\00:39:48.35
just imagine what does it take?
00:39:48.38\00:39:49.72
We need them.
00:39:49.75\00:39:51.09
And we have a
special video because
00:39:51.12\00:39:53.86
this is just a
really amazing story,
00:39:53.89\00:39:57.03
but it shows the power
in collaborating together
00:39:57.06\00:40:01.26
and in partnerships.
00:40:01.30\00:40:02.80
By coming together,
00:40:02.83\00:40:04.17
we can do things that we
could never do on our own.
00:40:04.20\00:40:06.60
And in this particular case,
00:40:06.63\00:40:08.20
it was a
partnership that happened
00:40:08.24\00:40:10.41
at the LA event between Pathway,
00:40:10.44\00:40:14.68
Glendale Adventist
Hospital and Adventist Health.
00:40:14.71\00:40:19.41
And by partnering together,
00:40:19.45\00:40:22.62
we were really able to impact
00:40:22.65\00:40:25.12
and change a
patient's life in ways
00:40:25.15\00:40:27.26
that we just couldn't
have done in any other way.
00:40:27.29\00:40:30.53
So I'd like to show that
video if it's okay, Jill.
00:40:30.56\00:40:32.63
Oh, yes, absolutely.
00:40:32.66\00:40:34.00
Let's take a look
at that right now.
00:40:34.03\00:40:35.36
I had a sickness
for a period of years
00:40:53.88\00:40:56.99
that I decided to ignore.
00:40:57.02\00:40:58.82
I was really
scared that it was cancer.
00:40:58.85\00:41:01.72
I know that that was blocking me
00:41:01.76\00:41:03.93
from accomplishing
many things in life.
00:41:03.96\00:41:06.23
When I saw the flyer, I said,
00:41:06.26\00:41:08.73
"There's got to be
hundreds of thousands of people
00:41:08.76\00:41:11.30
that need this more than I do."
00:41:11.33\00:41:14.00
I'm finally after five years
of knowing this health problem
00:41:14.04\00:41:17.67
that I had, you
know, I'm going to face it.
00:41:17.71\00:41:19.67
There's nothing I can lose.
00:41:19.71\00:41:21.04
If it's free, I
have to go for it.
00:41:21.08\00:41:23.35
The Pathway event
00:41:28.18\00:41:29.52
is really a inner city
medical mission project.
00:41:29.55\00:41:34.32
Around 3000 volunteers
served thousands of Angelinos.
00:41:34.36\00:41:39.29
People thought that
this was some kind of a scam.
00:41:39.33\00:41:41.73
Why would all these people
claim to do all this lab work
00:41:41.76\00:41:45.97
and have
pharmaceuticals and specialists
00:41:46.00\00:41:48.44
and primary care doctors
and X-rays and dental clinics?
00:41:48.47\00:41:52.11
There's got to be a catch.
00:41:52.14\00:41:53.48
Nobody does this for free.
00:41:53.51\00:41:55.34
The day came.
00:41:55.38\00:41:56.71
When I get to see a
doctor, did ultrasound,
00:41:56.75\00:41:59.91
and he definitely decided
that we needed to do a surgery.
00:41:59.95\00:42:03.02
It was an eight centimeter tumor
00:42:03.05\00:42:04.59
that had to be removed.
00:42:04.62\00:42:06.42
I knew that Isidro
really needed the surgery.
00:42:06.45\00:42:09.52
When I tried to
call Dr. Ebrahimi,
00:42:09.56\00:42:12.13
I didn't know how to tell
him that we need him to do
00:42:12.16\00:42:14.80
the surgery today.
00:42:14.83\00:42:16.16
And he was not
going to get paid for it.
00:42:16.20\00:42:17.80
Ramella called me saying,
"Hey, you know those things
00:42:17.83\00:42:19.80
that you wanted for the patient?
00:42:19.83\00:42:21.17
We'll get him
arranged, we'll take care of it,
00:42:21.20\00:42:22.67
would you just be kind
enough to do the surgery?"
00:42:22.70\00:42:24.47
I said, "Yeah."
00:42:24.51\00:42:25.84
You know, a few hours later,
00:42:25.87\00:42:27.21
Ramella comes back and
says, "We have a surgeon."
00:42:27.24\00:42:30.25
That same night, I
came in this hospital,
00:42:30.28\00:42:32.51
when I was putting on
my mask for anesthesia,
00:42:32.55\00:42:36.15
I felt a relief from God,
00:42:36.18\00:42:38.95
they're going to do God's work,
00:42:38.99\00:42:40.56
and they're going
to take care of it.
00:42:40.59\00:42:42.72
I woke up the
next morning in a room,
00:42:42.76\00:42:45.19
I didn't know what was
going on, I was in pain,
00:42:45.23\00:42:47.63
the doctor still
recommended to do chemotherapy
00:42:47.66\00:42:50.67
and radioactive therapy.
00:42:50.70\00:42:52.03
Chemotherapy is an
extremely expensive commodity.
00:42:52.07\00:42:55.80
So the fact
that the hospital was
00:42:55.84\00:42:57.71
willing to take care of that,
00:42:57.74\00:42:59.61
it just
complimented the whole process.
00:42:59.64\00:43:01.81
It's such a pleasure,
00:43:01.84\00:43:03.18
if you can help
someone and be cured
00:43:03.21\00:43:05.48
of potentially deadly disease.
00:43:05.51\00:43:07.72
It's extremely rewarding.
00:43:07.75\00:43:09.35
I didn't have the
financial needs to get it done.
00:43:09.38\00:43:11.45
I know it was going to be
a very expensive treatment
00:43:11.49\00:43:14.82
and a very expensive surgery.
00:43:14.86\00:43:17.03
But the support
that the hospital gave me
00:43:17.06\00:43:19.39
was a miracle because
00:43:19.43\00:43:21.66
they helped me
through everything.
00:43:21.70\00:43:23.50
It's not just whatever ailment
00:43:23.53\00:43:25.83
that the patient
is presenting with,
00:43:25.87\00:43:27.37
but it's also their
spiritual well-being.
00:43:27.40\00:43:30.01
It absolutely fits
perfectly with our mission
00:43:30.04\00:43:32.44
to share God's
love with our community,
00:43:32.47\00:43:34.81
My life took complete 360.
00:43:34.84\00:43:37.45
Is a new life,
00:43:37.48\00:43:38.81
and I don't see things
the same way as I used to.
00:43:38.85\00:43:41.12
Amen.
00:43:49.46\00:43:50.79
That's an incredible
story of partnership.
00:43:50.83\00:43:52.99
Think about Isidro, I
think that's what his name was.
00:43:53.03\00:43:56.10
And you go to this
free medical clinic
00:43:56.13\00:43:58.13
and have these issues
00:43:58.17\00:43:59.67
and discover all of a
sudden someone's going
00:43:59.70\00:44:01.70
to give you surgery for free.
00:44:01.74\00:44:03.51
Someone's going to give
you chemotherapy for free.
00:44:03.54\00:44:06.74
And the Lord used
00:44:06.78\00:44:08.11
that that medical
care to save his life.
00:44:08.14\00:44:10.51
Yeah. What an
incredible testimony.
00:44:10.55\00:44:13.35
So, how can our
viewers get involved?
00:44:13.38\00:44:17.35
Because we've been
talking about volunteers,
00:44:17.39\00:44:19.42
and that's of course, one way,
00:44:19.45\00:44:20.79
we've been talking about
00:44:20.82\00:44:22.16
partnership with
other ministries,
00:44:22.19\00:44:23.73
but to me, this is a
partnership between 3ABN
00:44:23.76\00:44:25.86
and Pathway that we
can bring to you at home,
00:44:25.89\00:44:29.30
the Ministry of
Pathway to Health
00:44:29.33\00:44:31.53
and we can
encourage you to get involved.
00:44:31.57\00:44:34.04
So how can our
viewers get involved, Ivan?
00:44:34.07\00:44:37.27
Well, we're not
under no illusion
00:44:37.31\00:44:39.97
that 2022 will be
easy thing to put together.
00:44:40.01\00:44:44.78
It is, we are
dealing with new processes,
00:44:44.81\00:44:47.08
we're dealing
with new protocols,
00:44:47.12\00:44:48.88
we're dealing with
a lot of new things
00:44:48.92\00:44:50.99
that are coming our way.
00:44:51.02\00:44:53.62
But we feel very encouraged,
00:44:53.66\00:44:55.76
and we're very confident
that if we come together,
00:44:55.79\00:44:59.36
if we combine our forces
00:44:59.39\00:45:01.53
and get the
volunteers to volunteer,
00:45:01.56\00:45:04.33
that we can put an event
like we haven't seen yet.
00:45:04.37\00:45:07.84
And it's a great opportunity
00:45:07.87\00:45:11.01
that to find limitless strength
00:45:11.04\00:45:14.38
in God to pull this through,
and witness to Indianapolis.
00:45:14.41\00:45:19.31
So that's something
00:45:19.35\00:45:20.68
that we are
really excited about.
00:45:20.72\00:45:23.95
So we try to simplify things.
00:45:23.99\00:45:25.32
How do we get involved?
00:45:25.35\00:45:26.69
We think about it as three P's.
00:45:26.72\00:45:29.32
Okay. We need prayer.
00:45:29.36\00:45:30.89
Yes. Everybody's prayer...
00:45:30.93\00:45:32.26
Amen.
00:45:32.29\00:45:33.63
Number one. Number one.
00:45:33.66\00:45:35.00
And we need everybody
to pray here in the room,
00:45:35.03\00:45:37.40
as well as everybody
who's watching right now.
00:45:37.43\00:45:39.90
That's one thing.
We need participation.
00:45:39.93\00:45:42.17
We need participation.
00:45:42.20\00:45:43.54
We talked about
volunteers at the event.
00:45:43.57\00:45:44.91
But I also wanted to highlight,
00:45:44.94\00:45:47.08
we need
participation before the event.
00:45:47.11\00:45:49.64
We need volunteers before
the event, during the event,
00:45:49.68\00:45:53.48
and after the event.
00:45:53.52\00:45:54.85
What sort of participation
do you need before the event?
00:45:54.88\00:45:57.09
For example, we
have a great need
00:45:57.12\00:45:58.45
for social media engagement.
00:45:58.49\00:46:00.29
So if the newer generations
00:46:00.32\00:46:01.96
are much more
savvy with social media
00:46:01.99\00:46:03.86
than I am or
Kathryn or Julie are,
00:46:03.89\00:46:07.63
can help us.
00:46:07.66\00:46:09.00
We would love to have
them involved and says how do
00:46:09.03\00:46:11.63
we engage with people
who come to our websites,
00:46:11.67\00:46:13.87
we'll go to Instagram, Twitter,
00:46:13.90\00:46:17.31
get social media coordinator,
00:46:17.34\00:46:19.87
that's what we're
looking for right now...
00:46:19.91\00:46:21.24
Okay.
00:46:21.28\00:46:22.61
And we need ambassadors
00:46:22.64\00:46:23.98
for that throughout this period.
00:46:24.01\00:46:26.05
We need a
number of other people,
00:46:26.08\00:46:27.62
IT technicians that
we need to make sure
00:46:27.65\00:46:29.42
that everything is set up.
00:46:29.45\00:46:30.79
This takes a lot
of technological,
00:46:30.82\00:46:33.92
advanced knowledge to
run something like this.
00:46:33.96\00:46:36.93
And we need people like that.
00:46:36.96\00:46:38.73
So those are just
some of the examples
00:46:38.76\00:46:40.86
that we're involved.
00:46:40.90\00:46:42.43
And the end of
the day, the third P,
00:46:42.46\00:46:44.07
which I can't forget, is
pennies, we do need pennies.
00:46:44.10\00:46:47.84
And we made it very simple
for you to go on our website,
00:46:47.87\00:46:51.47
which you already mentioned,
00:46:51.51\00:46:53.07
path way to health.org
and click on get involved.
00:46:53.11\00:46:56.78
There's different
programs that you can, there's,
00:46:56.81\00:47:00.62
we labeled 20 for 22.
00:47:00.65\00:47:03.22
So 2022, ask for 2022,
you can sponsor a clinic,
00:47:03.25\00:47:08.79
and you can also
sponsor a patient.
00:47:08.82\00:47:10.59
It's been really amazing
that with all the generosity
00:47:10.63\00:47:16.26
and sacrifice
from our volunteers,
00:47:16.30\00:47:18.57
and support and
generosity from our sponsors,
00:47:18.60\00:47:22.40
we're actually able
to bring the cost down
00:47:22.44\00:47:25.01
of serving patients
to only $100 per patient.
00:47:25.04\00:47:28.74
Really? So...
00:47:28.78\00:47:30.11
But they don't pay
that. They don't pay that.
00:47:30.15\00:47:32.51
No, the patients don't pay that.
00:47:32.55\00:47:33.98
No, but this is
amazing. It is amazing.
00:47:34.02\00:47:35.35
Only $100. Yeah.
00:47:35.38\00:47:37.59
So if you can donate $100,
00:47:37.62\00:47:40.62
that is going to allow us
to have one more person served,
00:47:40.66\00:47:44.76
one more person witness,
one more person comforted,
00:47:44.79\00:47:47.73
and that that is
what we are looking for.
00:47:47.76\00:47:50.77
But it's more than
that, we need time.
00:47:50.80\00:47:52.30
As I said, we
really do need time
00:47:52.33\00:47:53.94
of the volunteers and people
00:47:53.97\00:47:55.30
who can donate
financially, please,
00:47:55.34\00:47:58.64
please donate your time that is,
00:47:58.67\00:48:01.28
time is very precious commodity.
00:48:01.31\00:48:02.78
So we'll really truly value it.
00:48:02.81\00:48:05.45
I also want to
use the opportunity
00:48:05.48\00:48:07.98
to thank you our
current volunteers,
00:48:08.02\00:48:10.15
who have already registered.
00:48:10.19\00:48:11.52
Amen.
00:48:11.55\00:48:12.89
I also wanted to
thank all our donors
00:48:12.92\00:48:14.26
who have already donated
00:48:14.29\00:48:15.79
or sign up for
donating month to month,
00:48:15.82\00:48:19.03
we greatly
appreciate the donations
00:48:19.06\00:48:21.36
and the service
that we have seen.
00:48:21.40\00:48:23.26
And as we think about it,
00:48:23.30\00:48:25.50
it's always very uncomfortable
to ask for resources,
00:48:25.53\00:48:29.67
especially financial resources,
00:48:29.70\00:48:31.07
but our director
of event management
00:48:31.11\00:48:33.24
who wasn't able to
be with us here, LT.
00:48:33.27\00:48:35.58
Oliver Olson says,
00:48:35.61\00:48:37.28
don't put a dollar
limit on God's financial plan.
00:48:37.31\00:48:40.82
Yeah, I love that.
00:48:40.85\00:48:42.45
So let's talk about
that website one more time,
00:48:42.48\00:48:45.42
Dr. Julie, and how
people can register?
00:48:45.45\00:48:48.29
Well, before I do that,
I just had a great idea,
00:48:48.32\00:48:49.79
I have another P, pass it on.
00:48:49.82\00:48:52.39
So pass it down.
00:48:52.43\00:48:54.40
You know, I came to Pathway
because somebody invited me
00:48:54.43\00:48:57.57
who didn't show up,
but they invited me.
00:48:57.60\00:48:59.73
So pass on the word
even if you can't come.
00:48:59.77\00:49:01.90
Tell other people, this
is going to be a great event.
00:49:01.94\00:49:03.41
Yes.
00:49:03.44\00:49:04.77
Now for registration, yes,
we have a little slide on that.
00:49:04.81\00:49:08.64
There's a QR code,
00:49:08.68\00:49:10.01
a little box up and we're going
to ask people to click on it,
00:49:10.05\00:49:13.48
pick up a phone and
click on that right now.
00:49:13.52\00:49:15.68
If you have that kind
of phone, if you don't,
00:49:15.72\00:49:17.05
you're like me
with an old flip phone,
00:49:17.09\00:49:18.52
you can go to
pathway to health.org
00:49:18.55\00:49:21.56
and you can get on
there and you can register.
00:49:21.59\00:49:24.36
And we also have a
phone number on the site
00:49:24.39\00:49:25.79
if you have
problems with registration,
00:49:25.83\00:49:27.16
which probably won't happen,
00:49:27.20\00:49:28.53
but go ahead and do that
now because we need you to come,
00:49:28.56\00:49:32.30
we need you to
get on it right away.
00:49:32.33\00:49:33.97
We look forward to
seeing you and we need to know,
00:49:34.00\00:49:35.74
as soon as possible,
00:49:35.77\00:49:37.31
there's not a cut off
per se for a registration,
00:49:37.34\00:49:41.21
but the sooner
we know who's coming
00:49:41.24\00:49:42.88
and who we're going to
have the more we can plan.
00:49:42.91\00:49:44.91
So that really helps.
00:49:44.95\00:49:46.28
So and it's a bit hard to plan
in advance but it's six months
00:49:46.31\00:49:48.72
and some people need to
know that far in advance, so.
00:49:48.75\00:49:52.69
We would like you to be there.
00:49:52.72\00:49:54.06
One final
question for you, Kathryn,
00:49:54.09\00:49:55.42
then we're going to
go to an address roll.
00:49:55.46\00:49:56.79
And this is I put you on
the spot question because
00:49:56.83\00:49:58.59
you don't know this is coming.
00:49:58.63\00:49:59.96
How has been involved with
Pathway to Health changed you?
00:50:00.00\00:50:03.00
How has it impacted your life?
00:50:03.03\00:50:04.93
You know, you can't
go to a Pathway event
00:50:04.97\00:50:07.84
and not be changed.
00:50:07.87\00:50:09.44
Just seeing
everyone come together,
00:50:09.47\00:50:12.17
seeing everyone just
feel the love of Christ.
00:50:12.21\00:50:15.18
You know, it's just
such a special experience.
00:50:15.21\00:50:18.61
And I think the greatest
thing is being able to interact
00:50:18.65\00:50:22.62
with these
incredible patients to be
00:50:22.65\00:50:25.29
able to really
serve like Jesus did.
00:50:25.32\00:50:27.99
We're the ones
who get the blessing.
00:50:28.02\00:50:29.56
We're the ones that
are really ministered too,
00:50:29.59\00:50:32.39
and it's a blessing
you don't want to miss.
00:50:32.43\00:50:34.13
Amen.
00:50:34.16\00:50:35.50
You know, in giving,
in serving, we're changed.
00:50:35.53\00:50:39.77
Amen.
00:50:39.80\00:50:41.14
You know, I'm reminded
00:50:41.17\00:50:42.50
of that so many
times when I think,
00:50:42.54\00:50:44.01
"Okay, well, I'm going to
do this and help so and so."
00:50:44.04\00:50:46.17
No, it blesses me.
00:50:46.21\00:50:48.41
It helps me give and it
shall be given unto you.
00:50:48.44\00:50:52.65
Good measure, pressed down,
00:50:52.68\00:50:54.72
shaken together
and running over.
00:50:54.75\00:50:57.39
So when we get out
of our comfort zone,
00:50:57.42\00:50:59.89
get out of our,
whatever we're focused on,
00:50:59.92\00:51:02.52
and sometimes
it's just being busy.
00:51:02.56\00:51:03.96
But if we set that
aside, and say, "Yes, Lord,
00:51:03.99\00:51:06.93
here am I," Isaiah
Chapter 6, send me,
00:51:06.96\00:51:10.77
the Lord who do
amazing and mighty
00:51:10.80\00:51:12.83
and miraculous
things through you.
00:51:12.87\00:51:15.10
What we want to do
right now is put up
00:51:15.14\00:51:17.01
the contact information
for Pathway to Health,
00:51:17.04\00:51:19.67
so that you can become involved.
00:51:19.71\00:51:22.14
I wrote down the three,
00:51:22.18\00:51:23.61
the four Ps, I
love that, prayer.
00:51:23.65\00:51:26.25
Maybe you need to
pray for this event.
00:51:26.28\00:51:28.88
Not maybe, you need
to pray for this event.
00:51:28.92\00:51:30.99
Amen. Thank you.
00:51:31.02\00:51:32.35
Participation,
00:51:32.39\00:51:33.72
maybe the Lord is calling you
to volunteer in some capacity.
00:51:33.76\00:51:37.46
Pennies, maybe the
Lord is calling you
00:51:37.49\00:51:39.46
