Hello, friends, and
welcome to 3ABN Today.
00:01:15.64\00:01:18.17
My name is John Lomacang.
00:01:18.21\00:01:19.54
And I have to my
right, my beautiful wife.
00:01:19.57\00:01:21.78
How are you doing, honey?
00:01:21.81\00:01:23.14
Oh, I'm so excited to be here.
00:01:23.18\00:01:24.98
It's a program about health.
00:01:25.01\00:01:26.35
That's right.
00:01:26.38\00:01:27.72
And I love programs about health
00:01:27.75\00:01:29.08
to how to better yourself.
00:01:29.12\00:01:30.45
That's right.
00:01:30.49\00:01:31.82
And if you're
listening on radio,
00:01:31.85\00:01:33.19
her name is Angela.
00:01:33.22\00:01:34.56
And so good to have you, honey.
00:01:34.59\00:01:35.92
We're talking about
health today and I like that.
00:01:35.96\00:01:37.29
I do well.
00:01:37.33\00:01:38.66
Yeah.
00:01:38.69\00:01:40.03
And we have
someone with us today
00:01:40.06\00:01:41.40
that we have seen
and appreciate very well,
00:01:41.43\00:01:42.76
Jack McIntosh,
00:01:42.80\00:01:44.53
who is a health educator
and lifestyle interventionist.
00:01:44.57\00:01:48.70
And after his segment,
00:01:48.74\00:01:51.17
we're going to
have another segment.
00:01:51.21\00:01:52.87
So this is a full hour program,
00:01:52.91\00:01:54.88
which is going to be cut
down into two separate segments,
00:01:54.91\00:01:56.95
two separate programs as
it were and merged together.
00:01:56.98\00:01:59.45
So stay tuned with
some tremendous information.
00:01:59.48\00:02:02.08
Jack McIntosh, are you there?
00:02:02.12\00:02:03.72
Via Skype.
00:02:03.75\00:02:05.09
I'm here.
00:02:05.12\00:02:06.45
Yes, joining us via Skype.
00:02:06.49\00:02:07.82
Good to have you
here today at 3ABN.
00:02:07.86\00:02:09.32
Yes.
00:02:09.36\00:02:10.69
Pleasure to be here.
00:02:10.73\00:02:12.06
All the way in Oregon.
00:02:12.09\00:02:14.63
Yes, all the way in Oregon.
00:02:14.66\00:02:16.56
It's been some time,
00:02:16.60\00:02:17.93
but you've been so
much a part of 3ABN family
00:02:17.97\00:02:20.44
and we
appreciate what you've done
00:02:20.47\00:02:21.87
for the ministry.
00:02:21.90\00:02:23.24
And I like the fact that today
we're talking about health.
00:02:23.27\00:02:25.77
Honey, do people
want to be healthy?
00:02:25.81\00:02:27.18
Absolutely.
00:02:27.21\00:02:28.58
It's so important to
take care of this body
00:02:28.61\00:02:31.25
that the Lord has given to us,
00:02:31.28\00:02:32.91
to have it being
optimized to good health.
00:02:32.95\00:02:36.28
And we appreciate
you being here, doctor...
00:02:36.32\00:02:39.19
I shouldn't say doctor.
00:02:39.22\00:02:40.59
Mr. McIntosh, right?
00:02:40.62\00:02:43.29
And I just
appreciate you being here.
00:02:43.32\00:02:45.76
And all through the years,
00:02:45.79\00:02:47.13
we used to see these
wonderful health nuggets
00:02:47.16\00:02:49.03
that you gave on
3ABN about an apple a day
00:02:49.06\00:02:52.57
or drinking water.
00:02:52.60\00:02:53.97
It's been very good.
00:02:54.00\00:02:56.54
Well, tell us about what you do.
00:02:56.57\00:02:58.77
Health educator and
lifestyle interventionist.
00:02:58.81\00:03:01.94
Let our audience...
00:03:01.98\00:03:03.31
Give an
overview of what that is?
00:03:03.35\00:03:06.21
Well, my gift is
teaching and so I'm a teacher.
00:03:06.25\00:03:10.29
Yes.
00:03:10.32\00:03:11.65
And I educate about health,
00:03:11.69\00:03:13.89
both the science
and the biblical basis
00:03:13.92\00:03:17.13
for the science.
00:03:17.16\00:03:18.86
And so what I do also is
I help people to intervene.
00:03:18.89\00:03:24.30
In other words, how
do you actually implement
00:03:24.33\00:03:27.37
an exercise
program, for instance?
00:03:27.40\00:03:29.40
How do you make
the dietary changes?
00:03:29.44\00:03:31.87
That's the
intervention part of what I do.
00:03:31.91\00:03:35.94
But today, what I
want to talk about
00:03:35.98\00:03:39.05
is something called
biblical health reform.
00:03:39.08\00:03:42.12
Okay.
00:03:42.15\00:03:43.49
And it's based on a concept
00:03:43.52\00:03:46.76
that I heard about
actually back in 1974
00:03:46.79\00:03:49.86
when I was first converted.
00:03:49.89\00:03:52.36
I was listening
to a presentation
00:03:52.39\00:03:54.30
and the person said the
principles of health reform
00:03:54.33\00:03:58.90
are found in the Word of God.
00:03:58.93\00:04:02.37
And that really
piqued my curiosity.
00:04:02.40\00:04:04.64
I thought, "Oh,
that's in the Bible?
00:04:04.67\00:04:06.47
Really?"
00:04:06.51\00:04:07.84
So I started to
research and look.
00:04:07.88\00:04:11.15
And the Lord opened my
eyes and I started in Genesis.
00:04:11.18\00:04:16.15
Okay.
00:04:16.18\00:04:17.52
And it's been a
wonderful education
00:04:17.55\00:04:21.22
since that time to
help people to understand
00:04:21.26\00:04:24.79
that those principles of health
00:04:24.83\00:04:26.49
we're living actually
are found in God's Word.
00:04:26.53\00:04:28.66
That's right.
00:04:28.70\00:04:30.03
In the beginning,
00:04:30.07\00:04:31.40
when the Lord
created man and woman,
00:04:31.43\00:04:32.77
He gave us an ideal plan.
00:04:32.80\00:04:34.84
It's kind of like buying a car
and getting an owner's manual.
00:04:34.87\00:04:39.04
And they tell you
what the proper approaches
00:04:39.07\00:04:42.48
will be to keep
the vehicle running
00:04:42.51\00:04:44.48
in optimum health.
00:04:44.51\00:04:45.85
I'd like you to walk
us through that with...
00:04:45.88\00:04:47.75
Just tell us how are
these principles applied
00:04:47.78\00:04:50.59
and start walking us through
00:04:50.62\00:04:52.19
some of these
scriptural concepts.
00:04:52.22\00:04:55.16
Sure.
00:04:55.19\00:04:56.52
Well, again, we
begin in Genesis,
00:04:56.56\00:04:58.99
you know, where it
says, "In the beginning,
00:04:59.03\00:05:00.80
God created the
heavens and the earth."
00:05:00.83\00:05:03.50
And then He said, "Let
us make man in our image
00:05:03.53\00:05:06.33
and in our likeness."
00:05:06.37\00:05:08.77
What that means, of course,
is that we look like Him,
00:05:08.80\00:05:12.31
but we also had His character.
00:05:12.34\00:05:15.41
And so God is the creator
and the owner of everything.
00:05:15.44\00:05:20.55
In the Psalms it says
that the earth is the Lord's
00:05:20.58\00:05:24.09
and the fullness
thereof, the world,
00:05:24.12\00:05:26.92
and them that dwell therein.
00:05:26.96\00:05:28.29
There is nothing in this world
that doesn't belong to God.
00:05:28.32\00:05:32.89
And so we as His created beings
00:05:32.93\00:05:37.50
who were made in His
image, we belong to Him.
00:05:37.53\00:05:41.10
And the
question... It begs a question.
00:05:41.14\00:05:43.54
The question is
why were we created?
00:05:43.57\00:05:46.31
And the answer to that is
found in the Book of Isaiah
00:05:46.34\00:05:49.48
Chapter 43, actually.
00:05:49.51\00:05:51.71
And it says,
"Bring my sons from afar.
00:05:51.75\00:05:54.45
Even those called by my name,
00:05:54.48\00:05:57.29
for I have
created him for my glory.
00:05:57.32\00:06:03.02
I have formed him,
yea, I have made him."
00:06:03.06\00:06:07.10
And so we were
made to glorify God.
00:06:07.13\00:06:12.30
And in 1 Corinthians,
00:06:12.33\00:06:16.67
we see that, "Do
you not know that
00:06:16.71\00:06:19.71
you are the
temple of the living God?
00:06:19.74\00:06:23.04
For you are bought with a price.
00:06:23.08\00:06:26.18
Therefore, glorify God," notice,
00:06:26.21\00:06:29.52
"in your body,
00:06:29.55\00:06:32.05
and in your
spirit, which are His."
00:06:32.09\00:06:33.99
And as a health educator,
00:06:34.02\00:06:35.96
I'm very
interested in that concept
00:06:35.99\00:06:38.06
of glorifying God in the body.
00:06:38.09\00:06:41.90
Okay.
00:06:41.93\00:06:43.50
In 1 Corinthians 10,
00:06:43.53\00:06:45.23
we find another
interesting declaration
00:06:45.27\00:06:51.21
by the Apostle Paul
through the Holy Spirit,
00:06:51.24\00:06:55.74
"Whether
therefore you eat or drink
00:06:55.78\00:06:59.61
or whatever you do, do
all to the glory of God."
00:06:59.65\00:07:04.92
Notice that theme
of the glory of God
00:07:04.95\00:07:08.16
coming through the
scriptures to help us to realize
00:07:08.19\00:07:12.26
that we are to
glorify God in all that we do.
00:07:12.29\00:07:15.46
Okay.
00:07:15.50\00:07:16.83
And it... You know,
that begs a question.
00:07:16.87\00:07:19.17
Do most Christians eat
and drink to the glory of God?
00:07:19.20\00:07:22.77
And what does it
mean when it says all?
00:07:22.80\00:07:28.61
Do all to the glory of God?
00:07:28.64\00:07:30.38
It means every
dimension of our lives
00:07:30.41\00:07:33.25
need to be touched
by the glory of God.
00:07:33.28\00:07:37.09
And that is the
purpose of our existence.
00:07:37.12\00:07:40.69
I could see that...
00:07:40.72\00:07:42.06
So... Yeah, when you...
00:07:42.09\00:07:43.43
So that is really
why we do what we do
00:07:43.46\00:07:48.30
and why I educate.
00:07:48.33\00:07:50.47
Now, of course, in order to look
00:07:50.50\00:07:54.30
at the dimensions of health,
00:07:54.34\00:07:56.71
we again have to go back
to Genesis to the Eden diet.
00:07:56.74\00:08:02.31
Now you notice I
didn't call it the vegan diet
00:08:02.34\00:08:05.15
or the vegetarian
diet or any other name.
00:08:05.18\00:08:09.62
Yes. That's true.
00:08:09.65\00:08:10.99
I call it the Eden diet.
00:08:11.02\00:08:12.45
Sometimes I do refer to
it as a plant-based diet
00:08:12.49\00:08:15.09
because it is plant-based,
00:08:15.12\00:08:19.13
but this was God's idea.
00:08:19.16\00:08:21.63
Notice, it says,
00:08:21.66\00:08:23.77
"The fruit
shall be for your food
00:08:23.80\00:08:26.53
and seed bearing plants."
00:08:26.57\00:08:29.67
Well, that's,
that's the definition
00:08:29.70\00:08:32.24
of a plant-based diet.
00:08:32.27\00:08:33.61
That's true.
00:08:33.64\00:08:34.98
And so we go back to Genesis
00:08:35.01\00:08:37.88
to see the perfect
diet for human beings.
00:08:37.91\00:08:43.08
It's there.
00:08:43.12\00:08:44.75
But then the question is,
00:08:44.79\00:08:47.09
well, how do we implement that?
00:08:47.12\00:08:52.69
Are we free to just eat any time
00:08:52.73\00:08:56.10
of the day?
00:08:56.13\00:08:59.03
Do we just snack, you
know, and do all those things
00:08:59.07\00:09:02.50
that create so much
trouble that we see in America?
00:09:02.54\00:09:07.11
Well, let me
throw you a question.
00:09:07.14\00:09:08.48
Yeah.
00:09:08.51\00:09:09.84
Well, let me
throw you a question
00:09:09.88\00:09:11.21
because you did
bring us some amazing...
00:09:11.25\00:09:12.58
I like the fact
that you established it
00:09:12.61\00:09:13.95
on Scripture, showing...
00:09:13.98\00:09:15.32
And I appreciate
that that is an Eden diet.
00:09:15.35\00:09:17.72
'Cause a lot of
people say, "Are you a vegan?
00:09:17.75\00:09:19.42
Are you a vegetarian?" Right.
00:09:19.45\00:09:20.79
Is this something
that's a part of your church?
00:09:20.82\00:09:23.19
Is this a part of your doctrine?
00:09:23.22\00:09:24.79
And I like the fact that
Jack McIntosh said it was...
00:09:24.83\00:09:26.76
Biblical.
00:09:26.80\00:09:28.13
It was God's idea.
00:09:28.16\00:09:29.50
Yeah. Amen.
00:09:29.53\00:09:30.87
Yeah, it wasn't...
00:09:30.90\00:09:32.23
And to that question,
00:09:32.27\00:09:33.60
can we eat
anything all day long?
00:09:33.64\00:09:34.97
No.
00:09:35.00\00:09:36.34
People do eat junk food,
french fries, potato chips.
00:09:36.37\00:09:40.01
What is that
doing to our bodies?
00:09:40.04\00:09:41.71
Wow.
00:09:41.74\00:09:43.08
It's destroying us, isn't it?
00:09:43.11\00:09:44.45
That's right.
00:09:44.48\00:09:45.81
Which begs the question then,
00:09:45.85\00:09:47.18
as we look at the
plan that God established,
00:09:47.22\00:09:49.85
Mr. McIntosh, then we
have to ask the question then,
00:09:49.88\00:09:53.32
where did disease come from?
00:09:53.36\00:09:55.42
And, in fact, what is disease?
00:09:55.46\00:09:57.89
Disease is
really just a violation
00:10:01.43\00:10:04.83
of the principles that
are found in God's Word.
00:10:04.87\00:10:09.04
And one of the things that
the testimony of Jesus says
00:10:09.07\00:10:13.14
is that the first
thing you have to do
00:10:13.17\00:10:15.21
if you have
disease is to correct
00:10:15.24\00:10:18.85
what's causing disease.
00:10:18.88\00:10:20.92
Now, of course, today
00:10:20.95\00:10:23.02
when we visit
the doctor's office,
00:10:23.05\00:10:26.69
very often we are
given pharmaceuticals
00:10:26.72\00:10:29.12
instead of being asked,
00:10:29.16\00:10:30.86
"What are you doing wrong?"
00:10:30.89\00:10:32.43
True.
00:10:32.46\00:10:33.80
But if we can
ascertain what's going on,
00:10:33.83\00:10:37.00
you know, "I'm snacking,
00:10:37.03\00:10:39.43
I'm watching the
late show at night,
00:10:39.47\00:10:42.37
I'm not getting enough sleep,
00:10:42.40\00:10:45.04
I'm not drinking any
water, I'm drinking soda pop
00:10:45.07\00:10:47.81
and pushing
myself toward a diabetic
00:10:47.84\00:10:49.84
or pre-diabetic condition."
00:10:49.88\00:10:51.98
All those things really
mitigate against health.
00:10:52.01\00:10:55.85
And in the Book of
Ecclesiastes Chapter 10,
00:10:55.88\00:11:01.82
we find this declaration.
00:11:01.86\00:11:04.59
It says,
"Blessed are thou, O land,
00:11:04.63\00:11:07.06
when your kings and your princes
00:11:07.10\00:11:10.07
eat for strength and
not for drunkenness."
00:11:10.10\00:11:15.34
So that principle
is very important.
00:11:15.37\00:11:18.04
Because what it says is that
they eat at the proper time.
00:11:18.07\00:11:22.84
There's a timing.
00:11:22.88\00:11:24.81
There's a
circadian rhythm in the body.
00:11:24.85\00:11:27.22
And we need to have
five hours between the meals
00:11:27.25\00:11:32.55
in order for the
body to do what it does
00:11:32.59\00:11:36.09
and keep the circadian rhythms
00:11:36.12\00:11:37.96
that are so important to
us in their proper sphere.
00:11:37.99\00:11:43.06
And so that
principle is one that I believe
00:11:43.10\00:11:48.07
most people are unfamiliar with.
00:11:48.10\00:11:51.01
But the Bible does say
00:11:51.04\00:11:52.44
that we are to eat
at the proper time.
00:11:52.47\00:11:54.88
There's a timing.
00:11:54.91\00:11:56.95
And if we follow that principle,
00:11:56.98\00:12:00.35
then we really can cooperate
with those circadian rhythms
00:12:00.38\00:12:05.92
that are so critical
to maintaining our health.
00:12:05.95\00:12:09.92
Now how many meals...
I'm sorry, Mr. McIntosh.
00:12:09.96\00:12:13.40
How many
meals... Go right ahead.
00:12:13.43\00:12:14.76
How many meals a day do
you recommend that we eat?
00:12:14.80\00:12:19.63
Well, if a person
can eat two meals a day,
00:12:19.67\00:12:22.57
that's better.
00:12:22.60\00:12:23.94
Yes.
00:12:23.97\00:12:25.31
In fact, the
testimony of Jesus recommends
00:12:25.34\00:12:27.18
two meals a day.
00:12:27.21\00:12:28.54
Yes.
00:12:28.58\00:12:29.91
And we find that people who eat
00:12:29.94\00:12:32.55
two meals a day
and do what's called...
00:12:32.58\00:12:36.18
Today, we have a
technical term for it.
00:12:36.22\00:12:38.52
It's called
time-restricted eating.
00:12:38.55\00:12:41.19
But we find that
time restricted eating,
00:12:41.22\00:12:43.63
actually,
contributes to longevity.
00:12:43.66\00:12:46.86
People who eat
less meals per day
00:12:46.90\00:12:51.17
than the three
squares, so to speak,
00:12:51.20\00:12:52.93
that Americans do
eat, they live longer.
00:12:52.97\00:12:56.84
And lots of
experiments have shown that,
00:12:56.87\00:12:59.61
animal experiments,
00:12:59.64\00:13:00.98
that if you don't
overfeed the animals,
00:13:01.01\00:13:03.98
they live much longer.
00:13:04.01\00:13:05.55
And it's true
for human beings too.
00:13:05.58\00:13:07.82
Most of the world
eats two meals a day.
00:13:07.85\00:13:12.59
We have an abundance
so we think we have to,
00:13:12.62\00:13:15.42
you know, eat three meals a day.
00:13:15.46\00:13:17.99
So wherever possible,
I think it's a good idea
00:13:18.03\00:13:21.03
to go to two meals a day
00:13:21.06\00:13:22.40
and to eat those
two meals within,
00:13:22.43\00:13:26.00
let's say, a six
to eight-hour period.
00:13:26.03\00:13:31.57
Oh, wow.
00:13:31.61\00:13:32.94
Now the largest meal is...
Should that be in the morning?
00:13:32.97\00:13:37.11
Yes, it should be in the morning
00:13:37.15\00:13:38.61
because that's when
we are breaking the fast,
00:13:38.65\00:13:41.25
which is what
breakfast really means.
00:13:41.28\00:13:43.49
Right? Okay.
00:13:43.52\00:13:44.85
We're breaking the fast.
00:13:44.89\00:13:46.22
Yeah.
00:13:46.25\00:13:47.59
And so that's where
the largest meal should be.
00:13:47.62\00:13:51.43
Then, of course,
there's physical activity.
00:13:51.46\00:13:54.83
And it turns out that...
Guess where we find that?
00:13:54.86\00:13:57.47
We find that in
Genesis, Genesis 3.
00:13:57.50\00:14:01.40
And it says,
After the curse entered,
00:14:01.44\00:14:04.81
you know, the Lord said
00:14:04.84\00:14:07.51
the ground is
cursed for your sake.
00:14:07.54\00:14:10.08
And he said, "By
the sweat of your face,
00:14:10.11\00:14:13.21
you shall eat bread."
00:14:13.25\00:14:15.62
Well, you know that prescription
00:14:15.65\00:14:18.02
by the Lord given
to our first parents,
00:14:18.05\00:14:21.79
most people
ignore that prescription.
00:14:21.82\00:14:24.53
But it really... We...
00:14:24.56\00:14:26.83
In other words, we eat bread
but we almost never perspire.
00:14:26.86\00:14:31.17
And that is a big problem.
00:14:31.20\00:14:34.80
It contributes to the
pre-diabetic condition,
00:14:34.84\00:14:37.67
it contributes to
diabetes in general
00:14:37.71\00:14:40.51
because physical
activity has a lot to do
00:14:40.54\00:14:44.48
with how you
process sugar in the body.
00:14:44.51\00:14:46.95
That's true.
00:14:46.98\00:14:48.32
If you are
eating a high fat diet
00:14:48.35\00:14:51.32
and you're not
physically active,
00:14:51.35\00:14:53.15
what happens is
that high fat diet
00:14:53.19\00:14:55.22
tends to knock out
your insulin receptors.
00:14:55.26\00:14:58.66
And the result is that
00:14:58.69\00:15:00.40
when sugar comes up to the cell,
00:15:00.43\00:15:02.83
the muscle cell, for instance,
00:15:02.86\00:15:04.33
and wants to gain
entrance to the cell
00:15:04.37\00:15:06.87
through the insulin
receptor, guess what?
00:15:06.90\00:15:10.17
It doesn't find very
many insulin receptors
00:15:10.21\00:15:12.71
because they've been knocked out
00:15:12.74\00:15:15.54
due to physical inactivity.
00:15:15.58\00:15:18.08
We find that when people
walk 30 minutes twice a day,
00:15:18.11\00:15:21.85
they can actually
overcome diabetes.
00:15:21.88\00:15:24.19
And we have a
program on the website,
00:15:24.22\00:15:26.69
idowell.org called
reversing diabesity.
00:15:26.72\00:15:31.73
Oh, wow.
00:15:31.76\00:15:33.09
Why do we call it diabesity?
00:15:33.13\00:15:34.46
Okay.
00:15:34.50\00:15:35.83
Because...
00:15:35.86\00:15:37.20
I didn't coin
that word, by the way.
00:15:37.23\00:15:38.57
A very smart guy down
00:15:38.60\00:15:39.93
at UCLA School of
Health coined the word.
00:15:39.97\00:15:41.34
But the point is that diabetes
00:15:41.37\00:15:45.54
and obesity are related.
00:15:45.57\00:15:49.01
They support each other,
00:15:49.04\00:15:50.48
and one often
proceeds the other.
00:15:50.51\00:15:52.58
The weight
condition often precedes
00:15:52.61\00:15:54.92
the pre-diabetic and
the diabetic condition.
00:15:54.95\00:15:57.89
And when you're not walking,
00:15:57.92\00:15:59.49
you have relatively
few insulin receptors
00:15:59.52\00:16:03.66
and your blood sugar
tends to rise over time.
00:16:03.69\00:16:06.53
When you start
walking, what happens is that
00:16:06.56\00:16:09.93
the insulin
receptors proliferate
00:16:09.96\00:16:12.90
and the result is that you
now have a greater capacity
00:16:12.93\00:16:16.54
to move sugar into the muscle.
00:16:16.57\00:16:19.07
Okay.
00:16:19.11\00:16:20.44
And guess what?
00:16:20.48\00:16:21.81
The blood sugar
comes down naturally
00:16:21.84\00:16:23.78
because you have generated...
And this is critical.
00:16:23.81\00:16:27.05
You have generated
more insulin receptors
00:16:27.08\00:16:30.42
in order to accommodate
the sugar in the bloodstream.
00:16:30.45\00:16:33.92
So this is critical.
00:16:33.96\00:16:35.66
And I used to work at
Weimar Institute, you know.
00:16:35.69\00:16:38.56
And I watched...
00:16:38.59\00:16:39.93
I would watch people
00:16:39.96\00:16:41.30
with type 2
diabetes come and in 18 days,
00:16:41.33\00:16:44.53
most of them were off
their diabetic medications.
00:16:44.57\00:16:47.00
Wow.
00:16:47.04\00:16:48.37
And the secret... Are
you ready for the secret?
00:16:48.40\00:16:50.04
Yes. Okay.
00:16:50.07\00:16:51.54
I'm ready for the secret.
00:16:51.57\00:16:52.91
Thirty minutes.
00:16:52.94\00:16:54.28
Thirty minutes twice a day.
00:16:54.31\00:16:55.64
Of the walking?
00:16:55.68\00:16:57.01
Walking. Brisk walking.
00:16:57.05\00:16:58.91
Okay, my wife is
rebuking me here, Mr. McIntosh.
00:16:58.95\00:17:02.32
I am.
00:17:02.35\00:17:03.69
Because, I mean,
I'm not overweight,
00:17:03.72\00:17:06.25
but she says to me,
00:17:06.29\00:17:07.92
"You're not
getting enough activity."
00:17:07.96\00:17:09.29
He isn't.
00:17:09.32\00:17:10.66
And she has a watch
that tracks all her activity.
00:17:10.69\00:17:12.09
Yeah, I do.
00:17:12.13\00:17:13.46
And I said to her,
"How is it that you have
00:17:13.50\00:17:14.83
so many more points than I do?"
00:17:14.86\00:17:17.07
She says, "Because I
walk a lot more than you do."
00:17:17.10\00:17:19.90
And so I'm kind
of... Absolutely.
00:17:19.93\00:17:21.47
She walks twice a day.
00:17:21.50\00:17:23.44
And then when she's...
00:17:23.47\00:17:24.81
She says that my
watch is telling me
00:17:24.84\00:17:26.17
that I didn't
get enough exercise.
00:17:26.21\00:17:27.54
So she goes
downstairs on her elliptical
00:17:27.58\00:17:29.44
and gets the rest of that in.
00:17:29.48\00:17:31.05
And she said, "I
closed all my circles."
00:17:31.08\00:17:33.45
And I said, "Well, I
got 4,700 steps today."
00:17:33.48\00:17:37.02
She said, "I did 11,000."
00:17:37.05\00:17:39.15
And I said, "Well,
what's the difference?"
00:17:39.19\00:17:40.59
She said, "I'm in
better shape than you are."
00:17:40.62\00:17:43.63
And so...
00:17:43.66\00:17:44.99
Well, 'cause I like to exercise.
00:17:45.03\00:17:46.36
And even in the cooler weather
where it's very cold outside,
00:17:46.39\00:17:51.50
I kind of walk
around here at 3ABN
00:17:51.53\00:17:54.34
'cause it's pretty big here.
00:17:54.37\00:17:56.14
So I do my little circles
and my watch will tell me,
00:17:56.17\00:17:59.07
"It's good.
00:17:59.11\00:18:00.44
You've done, you've completed
your 30 minutes, whatever."
00:18:00.48\00:18:03.61
And so I do get my exercise
00:18:03.65\00:18:05.85
even when the weather is cool.
00:18:05.88\00:18:07.52
Even though I do
prefer to go outside and walk,
00:18:07.55\00:18:10.59
but when I can't
because it's so cold,
00:18:10.62\00:18:13.46
I work it up even when
I'm talking to someone,
00:18:13.49\00:18:16.29
I kind of walk in place.
00:18:16.32\00:18:18.33
Well, what I want to get
00:18:18.36\00:18:19.69
is what he just
said a moment ago.
00:18:19.73\00:18:21.06
I don't want people to miss that
00:18:21.10\00:18:22.43
because it's so
tremendously important.
00:18:22.46\00:18:24.40
You talked about when people eat
00:18:24.43\00:18:26.00
and they're not
getting exercise.
00:18:26.03\00:18:27.80
When they're eating a fatty diet
00:18:27.84\00:18:29.24
or maybe just
the diet in general
00:18:29.27\00:18:31.37
and they're not
getting exercise,
00:18:31.41\00:18:33.58
they're blocking the receptors
00:18:33.61\00:18:36.88
and then the
insulin is not going to...
00:18:36.91\00:18:40.15
Talk about that.
00:18:40.18\00:18:41.52
The blood sugar is
not lowered so they...
00:18:41.55\00:18:42.88
To do its job,
yes. Yeah. Tell me...
00:18:42.92\00:18:44.42
To move the sugar
into the bloodstream.
00:18:44.45\00:18:46.05
Yes, precisely.
00:18:46.09\00:18:47.42
That's exactly it. Okay.
00:18:47.46\00:18:48.79
So it's kind of
blocked by not exercising
00:18:48.82\00:18:50.56
if that's what I'm hearing.
00:18:50.59\00:18:52.66
We actually lose
insulin receptors.
00:18:52.69\00:18:55.26
It knocks them
out, the high fat diet
00:18:55.30\00:18:58.03
and the lack of
physical activity.
00:18:58.07\00:19:00.30
It turns out that
when we start walking,
00:19:00.34\00:19:02.54
we generate more
insulin receptors.
00:19:02.57\00:19:05.77
And the result is that
the capacity to move sugar
00:19:05.81\00:19:09.24
into the cell
dramatically increases.
00:19:09.28\00:19:12.78
And this is why diabetics
00:19:12.81\00:19:14.28
can actually get
off their medication
00:19:14.32\00:19:16.79
if they do that.
00:19:16.82\00:19:18.15
That is the secret,
30 minutes, twice a day.
00:19:18.19\00:19:21.16
Very important.
00:19:21.19\00:19:22.59
In the sweat of your
brow, you shall eat bread.
00:19:22.62\00:19:25.36
Oh, okay.
00:19:25.39\00:19:26.73
And so that principle
is really, really critical.
00:19:26.76\00:19:32.07
So, you know, the
whole business of diabetes,
00:19:32.10\00:19:36.97
and hypertension,
and high cholesterol,
00:19:37.01\00:19:39.47
and obesity can be solved
00:19:39.51\00:19:42.28
if people will do
three simple things.
00:19:42.31\00:19:44.98
Okay.
00:19:45.01\00:19:46.35
If they will walk
30 minutes twice a day.
00:19:46.38\00:19:49.08
That's critical.
00:19:49.12\00:19:51.22
If they will use the Eden diet,
and if they will drink water.
00:19:51.25\00:19:56.69
Now the first
lifestyle intervention trial
00:19:56.73\00:19:59.66
in history was conducted by
a young Hebrew named Daniel.
00:19:59.69\00:20:03.73
You know about that.
00:20:03.77\00:20:05.10
Okay. That's right.
00:20:05.13\00:20:06.47
That's right.
00:20:06.50\00:20:07.84
And he said...
00:20:07.87\00:20:09.20
What did he say in that
lifestyle intervention trial?
00:20:09.24\00:20:10.57
He said give us
vegetables to eat and what?
00:20:10.61\00:20:14.14
Pulses, water, exactly.
00:20:14.18\00:20:16.31
And water to drink.
00:20:16.34\00:20:17.85
Okay. Now we're
getting that water right here.
00:20:17.88\00:20:20.32
This much I
drank already, honey?
00:20:20.35\00:20:22.95
Right.
00:20:22.98\00:20:24.32
He didn't ask for a Pepsi.
00:20:24.35\00:20:26.09
And I always tell people
00:20:26.12\00:20:28.86
there was no
Pepsi machine in Eden.
00:20:28.89\00:20:30.89
Remember that.
00:20:30.93\00:20:33.06
Good old water.
00:20:33.09\00:20:34.43
So you need to
drink water, pure water.
00:20:34.46\00:20:36.43
And if people will
do those three things
00:20:36.46\00:20:39.83
and especially pay
attention to that walking.
00:20:39.87\00:20:42.54
Most of us are not getting
enough physical activity.
00:20:42.57\00:20:46.27
And the result is that we...
00:20:46.31\00:20:48.54
This country, we
have something like
00:20:48.58\00:20:51.05
60 to 80% of people
with a prediabetic condition.
00:20:51.08\00:20:55.08
And that is a huge problem.
00:20:55.12\00:20:59.12
It's extremely costly to us.
00:20:59.15\00:21:02.42
Well, tell us about the sweets.
00:21:02.46\00:21:04.06
You alluded to that.
00:21:04.09\00:21:05.43
You talked about high fat diet.
00:21:05.46\00:21:07.33
Talk about sweets
because... About snacking.
00:21:07.36\00:21:10.03
Yeah, snacking. Okay.
00:21:10.07\00:21:11.40
I like that.
00:21:11.43\00:21:12.77
Okay. What about snacking?
00:21:12.80\00:21:14.14
Is it okay to snack?
00:21:14.17\00:21:16.54
Well, we are... No, it isn't.
00:21:16.57\00:21:17.91
As we said, it tends to
mess up the circadian rhythms.
00:21:17.94\00:21:22.81
And the result of all
of that is that over time,
00:21:22.84\00:21:27.78
we become unbalanced.
00:21:27.82\00:21:29.72
We have...
00:21:29.75\00:21:31.09
You know, in the
sweat of your brow,
00:21:31.12\00:21:33.36
that's energy output.
00:21:33.39\00:21:35.92
Eating bread is energy input.
00:21:35.96\00:21:38.69
And so what the
Lord is saying...
00:21:38.73\00:21:40.36
And I read that for
years and didn't understand
00:21:40.40\00:21:42.03
what it was saying.
00:21:42.06\00:21:43.40
It was saying you
have to have balance.
00:21:43.43\00:21:45.83
That's what that
scripture means, balance.
00:21:45.87\00:21:48.67
Energy input is to be
balanced by energy output.
00:21:48.70\00:21:53.71
Now the scripture means
00:21:53.74\00:21:55.08
a lot more than
just what I just said.
00:21:55.11\00:21:57.11
Remember, God's
word is infinite,
00:21:57.15\00:21:58.81
but that's one of
the things it's saying,
00:21:58.85\00:22:00.65
that you have to have
balance in what you do.
00:22:00.68\00:22:04.02
And if you don't have balance,
00:22:04.05\00:22:06.12
then that creates all
kinds of metabolic problems.
00:22:06.15\00:22:09.42
And we have a name for
these metabolic problems.
00:22:09.46\00:22:12.89
It's called
metabolic syndrome, diabetes,
00:22:12.93\00:22:17.47
hypertension,
hypercholesterolemia
00:22:17.50\00:22:21.07
or high
cholesterol, and obesity.
00:22:21.10\00:22:22.77
Those things
cluster in many Americans.
00:22:22.80\00:22:26.74
Metabolic
syndrome is a huge problem
00:22:26.78\00:22:29.84
and it is the
most costly problem
00:22:29.88\00:22:33.25
in America today in
terms of medical care costs.
00:22:33.28\00:22:36.92
Okay.
00:22:36.95\00:22:38.29
So it's critical
that we pay attention
00:22:38.32\00:22:42.59
to those principles.
00:22:42.62\00:22:44.13
And you also said
two glasses of water
00:22:44.16\00:22:47.16
before each meal.
00:22:47.20\00:22:49.30
Do you recommend, as we heard,
00:22:49.33\00:22:51.87
was it eight to ten
glasses of water a day?
00:22:51.90\00:22:56.87
I just keep it simple.
00:22:56.91\00:22:58.34
I say two
glasses before breakfast,
00:22:58.37\00:23:01.64
two before lunch,
and two before supper
00:23:01.68\00:23:04.18
if you're on a
three meal program.
00:23:04.21\00:23:07.25
For instance, in the
morning before I do Bible study
00:23:07.28\00:23:10.62
and prayer, I
drink a glass of water.
00:23:10.65\00:23:13.82
And then at the
end of my prayer,
00:23:13.86\00:23:16.59
I have another glass
ready and I drink it.
00:23:16.62\00:23:18.99
And by the time I'm
done with Bible study,
00:23:19.03\00:23:22.16
that glass is...
00:23:22.20\00:23:24.33
The water is gone and
I've got my two glasses.
00:23:24.37\00:23:28.10
That does a great
deal for the body.
00:23:28.14\00:23:30.21
It cleanses the
kidneys, for instance,
00:23:30.24\00:23:32.81
from all that urea
from protein metabolism
00:23:32.84\00:23:37.15
and boosts your energy.
00:23:37.18\00:23:40.25
One of the things
that you need to do
00:23:40.28\00:23:41.98
if you're really feeling
tired is drink a glass of water.
00:23:42.02\00:23:46.65
You know, it says in Isaiah 44,
00:23:46.69\00:23:49.19
"He drinks no
water and grows faint."
00:23:49.22\00:23:52.43
Oh, wow.
00:23:52.46\00:23:53.80
Okay. You know...
00:23:53.83\00:23:55.16
So you're bringing out
the Bible in a new way.
00:23:55.20\00:23:56.73
We have about less than
two minutes here, but...
00:23:56.77\00:23:58.90
So what would
you encourage people
00:23:58.93\00:24:00.27
that are wanting to
experience the optimum health?
00:24:00.30\00:24:05.21
And we're going
to give information
00:24:05.24\00:24:06.57
to let people have more
00:24:06.61\00:24:07.94
of what you're
going to talk about,
00:24:07.98\00:24:09.31
but what would you say to those
00:24:09.34\00:24:10.68
who want to
increase better health
00:24:10.71\00:24:12.58
and have a more balanced life?
00:24:12.61\00:24:16.08
I would simply say
that the three principles
00:24:16.12\00:24:19.19
that we covered in
the Book of Genesis
00:24:19.22\00:24:23.22
is really where we need to start
00:24:23.26\00:24:26.73
to make sure
that we have balance.
00:24:26.76\00:24:30.90
Eating and physical
activity is balanced.
00:24:30.93\00:24:34.80
Thirty minutes
twice a day is the ideal.
00:24:34.84\00:24:39.14
It takes away the
basis for insulin resistance
00:24:39.17\00:24:44.45
and diabetes and all of that,
00:24:44.48\00:24:47.05
and it helps us to be healthier.
00:24:47.08\00:24:49.28
It also does something.
00:24:49.32\00:24:51.22
It produces something
in the brain called BDNF,
00:24:51.25\00:24:55.02
brain-derived
neurotrophic factor
00:24:55.06\00:24:58.03
that regenerates your brain.
00:24:58.06\00:24:59.79
Physical activity does that.
00:24:59.83\00:25:01.70
In fact, I want my listeners
to research that, BDNF.
00:25:01.73\00:25:06.57
BDNF.
00:25:06.60\00:25:07.94
Brain-derived...
00:25:07.97\00:25:09.30
BDNF, brain-derived
neurotrophic factor.
00:25:09.34\00:25:12.41
It actually
regenerates your brain
00:25:12.44\00:25:16.01
and gets those neurons working
00:25:16.04\00:25:18.55
better than they were before.
00:25:18.58\00:25:20.05
That's what...
00:25:20.08\00:25:21.42
I have a lecture called,
00:25:21.45\00:25:22.78
40 reasons to exercise.
00:25:22.82\00:25:24.92
Okay.
00:25:24.95\00:25:26.76
And that's on my website.
00:25:26.79\00:25:28.12
That's on the
reversing diabesity program
00:25:28.16\00:25:30.53
and people can sign up for that.
00:25:30.56\00:25:33.40
Well, we thank you
for joining us today.
00:25:33.43\00:25:35.23
Jack McIntosh, health educator,
lifestyle interventionist.
00:25:35.26\00:25:39.07
I want our viewers
and listeners to know that
00:25:39.10\00:25:41.57
at the end of this
hour, we're going to...
00:25:41.60\00:25:43.30
Or at the end of this program,
00:25:43.34\00:25:44.67
we're going to give you
the website and the information
00:25:44.71\00:25:46.51
on how to get in touch with him.
00:25:46.54\00:25:47.94
But idowell.org is
a good place to start.
00:25:47.98\00:25:51.58
Don't go away.
00:25:51.61\00:25:52.95
We have another
exciting part of this program.
00:25:52.98\00:25:55.12
Just stay tuned.
00:25:55.15\00:25:56.48
That's right.
00:25:56.52\00:25:57.99

That's mcjack48@comcast.net
00:26:29.48\00:26:35.46
Amen.
00:26:42.30\00:26:43.63
Thank you so
much, Pastor Lomacang,
00:26:43.67\00:26:45.13
Miss Angie Lomacang,
00:26:45.17\00:26:46.50
and Brother Jack
McIntosh for your ministry.
00:26:46.53\00:26:49.30
We're going to continue now
00:26:49.34\00:26:50.67
with another
good friends of mine.
00:26:50.71\00:26:53.24
This is actually the second time
00:26:53.27\00:26:54.61
I've had an
opportunity to interview
00:26:54.64\00:26:56.51
and to speak with Brother Jerry
00:26:56.54\00:26:58.65
and Miss Valerie Backus
all the way from Tanzania.
00:26:58.68\00:27:01.45
How are you guys doing?
00:27:01.48\00:27:02.82
Can you hear me?
00:27:02.85\00:27:05.35
Doing wonderful.
00:27:05.39\00:27:06.72
Blessed and humbled to
be with you again, Ryan.
00:27:06.76\00:27:09.79
Thank you for the invitation.
00:27:09.82\00:27:11.16
We're happy to be here.
00:27:11.19\00:27:12.53
Amen.
00:27:12.56\00:27:13.90
It's a blessing to
see you guys again.
00:27:13.93\00:27:15.26
Thank you very much. Yeah.
00:27:15.30\00:27:16.63
And so, Jerry and Valerie,
00:27:16.67\00:27:18.00
real quickly as
we have limited time,
00:27:18.03\00:27:19.67
but you know, our viewers would,
00:27:19.70\00:27:21.04
probably some of
them would like to know
00:27:21.07\00:27:22.60
who you are
because many of our viewers
00:27:22.64\00:27:24.27
may be new and may not know
00:27:24.31\00:27:25.64
who Jerry and Valerie Backus is.
00:27:25.67\00:27:27.54
And then, you know, kind of
help talk about your ministry,
00:27:27.58\00:27:31.08
which is entitled
Falco's Children Africa.
00:27:31.11\00:27:34.65
Tell us who you
are, a little bit about
00:27:34.68\00:27:36.15
Falco's Children Africa?
00:27:36.18\00:27:39.75
Of course, I'm
Jerry and this is Valerie.
00:27:39.79\00:27:41.92
And we have a picture
of all four of our children
00:27:41.96\00:27:44.19
with us as a family.
00:27:44.23\00:27:45.63
And we live full
time here in Tanzania
00:27:45.66\00:27:48.30
close to the children,
00:27:48.33\00:27:49.66
in the same
area as the children.
00:27:49.70\00:27:51.17
And we currently have 86 orphans
00:27:51.20\00:27:53.64
that we're taking care
of from a very young age,
00:27:53.67\00:27:57.44
just a few months old to
approximately 21 years old.
00:27:57.47\00:28:03.38
Wow. Praise the Lord.
00:28:03.41\00:28:05.01
And I understand we
have a picture of you
00:28:05.05\00:28:07.08
and your family.
00:28:07.12\00:28:08.78
I'm guessing you guys all
live right there on the...
00:28:08.82\00:28:12.59
At the headquarters of
Falco's Children Africa
00:28:12.62\00:28:14.46
in Tanzania, right?
00:28:14.49\00:28:16.96
Yes.
00:28:16.99\00:28:18.33
We have eight homes
just for the children
00:28:18.36\00:28:19.89
and the staff and
the business office.
00:28:19.93\00:28:22.66
And then our home is
just a short distance
00:28:22.70\00:28:24.53
from the other eight homes.
00:28:24.57\00:28:26.07
That's amazing.
00:28:26.10\00:28:27.44
Just a few feet, so
near... All the time.
00:28:27.47\00:28:30.81
That's amazing.
00:28:30.84\00:28:32.17
So how many... So
there's always children.
00:28:32.21\00:28:34.11
No, that's fine. So how many...
00:28:34.14\00:28:35.64
There's always
children playing...
00:28:35.68\00:28:37.61
Right, right.
00:28:37.65\00:28:40.12
So how many children
total do you have there at,
00:28:40.15\00:28:43.39
you know, at the
headquarters there?
00:28:43.42\00:28:47.76
We totally have... We
have total of 86 children.
00:28:47.79\00:28:51.43
Of course, the older
children are at boarding school.
00:28:51.46\00:28:54.10
So during school time,
00:28:54.13\00:28:56.50
we may have up
to 20 to 30 children
00:28:56.53\00:28:59.50
at boarding school.
00:28:59.53\00:29:00.87
We see them after
every three months,
00:29:00.90\00:29:03.71
some three months.
00:29:03.74\00:29:05.34
But the other
children, the younger tots,
00:29:05.37\00:29:07.81
they go to the local
school here at the village.
00:29:07.84\00:29:10.58
But the other older
children are in boarding school
00:29:10.61\00:29:13.05
where they go like a typical
boarding school in America,
00:29:13.08\00:29:16.12
three to six months at a time.
00:29:16.15\00:29:18.92
That's amazing.
00:29:18.95\00:29:20.29
That's amazing.
00:29:20.32\00:29:21.66
That's a lot of
children all at one time.
00:29:21.69\00:29:23.19
And you guys, you said
your homes are very close.
00:29:23.22\00:29:25.16
I think we actually
have a picture of like
00:29:25.19\00:29:27.80
an aerial view of
what these homes look like.
00:29:27.83\00:29:30.63
Wow.
00:29:30.67\00:29:32.53
So tell us a little bit,
00:29:32.57\00:29:34.10
how in the world
did you start this?
00:29:34.14\00:29:35.84
How do you get from
nothing to this right here?
00:29:35.87\00:29:38.27
Tell us a little bit
of the backstory on this.
00:29:38.31\00:29:42.41
Well, number
one, it was the Lord.
00:29:42.44\00:29:44.01
I moved here in 2009
00:29:44.05\00:29:46.25
and I was planning on
opening a Bible school.
00:29:46.28\00:29:48.92
And I saw all the
children roaming the streets.
00:29:48.95\00:29:51.05
And the Lord told me to
forget about the Bible school,
00:29:51.09\00:29:53.79
to take care of the children.
00:29:53.82\00:29:55.26
So we opened a
children's home in Arusha,
00:29:55.29\00:29:57.99
and we ended up having
about 35 children very quickly.
00:29:58.03\00:30:01.56
But then we
outgrew the property.
00:30:01.60\00:30:04.63
There weren't any place for them
00:30:04.67\00:30:06.00
to play or anything else.
00:30:06.03\00:30:07.60
And then I
believe the Lord told me
00:30:07.64\00:30:09.20
that he was going to
give us land for free.
00:30:09.24\00:30:11.51
So I started looking for land
00:30:11.54\00:30:13.41
and I wanted to be
where the greatest need was.
00:30:13.44\00:30:16.14
And Karatu area is
where the greatest need is
00:30:16.18\00:30:18.91
because it has
the highest percentage
00:30:18.95\00:30:20.65
of abandoned children.
00:30:20.68\00:30:22.02
So we received 70 acres of
land here outside of Karatu,
00:30:22.05\00:30:25.89
about 45 minutes
outside of Karatu
00:30:25.92\00:30:28.42
and started building the homes
00:30:28.46\00:30:29.99
in 2013.
00:30:30.03\00:30:32.76
Wow. That's amazing.
00:30:32.79\00:30:34.26
And so you guys...
00:30:34.30\00:30:35.63
I mean, this isn't just a
home where people just live,
00:30:35.66\00:30:38.97
but yet you guys...
00:30:39.00\00:30:40.34
I mean, you educate these kids,
00:30:40.37\00:30:42.37
you're teaching
them about Christ.
00:30:42.40\00:30:44.11
Tell us a little
bit about the education
00:30:44.14\00:30:45.84
and the experience
that these children
00:30:45.87\00:30:48.41
get while they're there.
00:30:48.44\00:30:52.35
Well, it's really family style.
00:30:52.38\00:30:56.05
Even though we have 86
children and from time to time
00:30:56.08\00:30:58.89
they're all 86 here
on under one campus,
00:30:58.92\00:31:03.76
we really teach
fundamental beliefs of God,
00:31:03.79\00:31:08.16
God and His love.
00:31:08.20\00:31:10.03
We have standards of living
that are Christian-centered.
00:31:10.07\00:31:13.23
We really follow
the principles given.
00:31:13.27\00:31:16.24
We follow, we lead,
and educate the children
00:31:16.27\00:31:18.91
from the children's
home and from Ellen White.
00:31:18.94\00:31:22.71
And we stick close to
those simple standards
00:31:22.74\00:31:26.35
that are easy to understand
00:31:26.38\00:31:28.05
because the basic
language is Swahili
00:31:28.08\00:31:31.35
and I'm still
struggling with that.
00:31:31.39\00:31:33.15
But I'm learning
more and more each day
00:31:33.19\00:31:34.69
how to communicate with them.
00:31:34.72\00:31:36.39
But they love to sing.
00:31:36.42\00:31:37.76
They love to pray.
00:31:37.79\00:31:39.73
And mind you, this
village, our new babes
00:31:39.76\00:31:43.43
then our Seventh-day
Adventist mission field.
00:31:43.47\00:31:46.63
And so they are babies
but they catch on quickly.
00:31:46.67\00:31:49.74
They love worship.
00:31:49.77\00:31:51.11
They love to pray.
00:31:51.14\00:31:52.47
The children that are younger
than the forming form school,
00:31:52.51\00:31:57.15
which are like
high school equivalent
00:31:57.18\00:31:59.38
to the American standard.
00:31:59.41\00:32:00.95
They go to the local school
here in a village called Qurus.
00:32:00.98\00:32:04.79
So even though we're in Karatu,
00:32:04.82\00:32:06.55
the village is located
00:32:06.59\00:32:07.92
in another village called Qurus.
00:32:07.96\00:32:09.92
And so they go to
elementary school locally.
00:32:09.96\00:32:13.40
The children do walk
three miles each day.
00:32:13.43\00:32:16.70
And so they start from grade 1
00:32:16.73\00:32:19.43
or standard 1
all the way to, say,
00:32:19.47\00:32:22.64
standard 7 or grade 7
00:32:22.67\00:32:24.41
and their high
school starts from grade 8.
00:32:24.44\00:32:27.21
So we do...
00:32:27.24\00:32:28.58
We're very busy
00:32:28.61\00:32:29.94
because we have
five different schools
00:32:29.98\00:32:31.65
to take the
children to every day.
00:32:31.68\00:32:34.92
But every evening
there's a schedule
00:32:34.95\00:32:37.12
that we have on
campus, that at 7 o'clock
00:32:37.15\00:32:39.69
after they come home from school
00:32:39.72\00:32:41.29
and they've had their
dinner and they've washed up
00:32:41.32\00:32:43.89
for the evening,
we have Bible studies.
00:32:43.93\00:32:46.39
We recently have had requests
from even the security officers
00:32:46.43\00:32:49.83
who wanted to find
out about the 27...
00:32:49.86\00:32:52.53
28 Fundamental Beliefs of
the Seventh-day Adventist.
00:32:52.57\00:32:55.20
And so every weekend, we
have Bible studies as well.
00:32:55.24\00:32:58.64
The children at boarding school,
00:32:58.67\00:33:01.88
they continue their
regular boarding studies
00:33:01.91\00:33:05.38
and they come
home and they share
00:33:05.41\00:33:07.25
what they've learned there.
00:33:07.28\00:33:08.82
And many of them are
so happy to be back home
00:33:08.85\00:33:10.85
because we form little choirs.
00:33:10.89\00:33:12.99
And our goal is to
really go out and share
00:33:13.02\00:33:14.99
what we do here
on the village side.
00:33:15.02\00:33:17.56
So it's exciting.
00:33:17.59\00:33:19.33
That's amazing. That's amazing.
00:33:19.36\00:33:20.70
So they're not
just being educated in,
00:33:20.73\00:33:23.87
you know, the general
education aspects of life,
00:33:23.90\00:33:27.07
but yet they're receiving
the gospel of Jesus Christ
00:33:27.10\00:33:29.54
while they're there.
00:33:29.57\00:33:30.91
And I actually, I...
00:33:30.94\00:33:32.27
You know, you guys have a video,
00:33:32.31\00:33:33.64
a church video of a
church service, I guess,
00:33:33.68\00:33:35.14
where you guys
have church out there
00:33:35.18\00:33:36.98
at Tanzania, right?
00:33:37.01\00:33:40.12
We do. Yes, we do.
00:33:40.15\00:33:41.48
We have a lively
worship here every weekend.
00:33:41.52\00:33:45.15
And sometimes the
villagers on the outside,
00:33:45.19\00:33:47.32
they come and visit us too.
00:33:47.36\00:33:48.92
We've had up to 200 at one time.
00:33:48.96\00:33:50.79
Wow.
00:33:50.83\00:33:52.16
That's amazing.
00:33:52.19\00:33:53.53
So, hey, why don't we go
to that video roll right now
00:33:53.56\00:33:55.70
of that special church service?
00:33:55.73\00:33:57.67
For the Lord our God is mighty
00:33:57.70\00:34:01.77
Yes, the Lord
our God is omnipotent
00:34:01.80\00:34:06.07
The Lord, our God,
00:34:06.11\00:34:09.44
He is wonderful
00:34:09.48\00:34:13.72
All praises be
00:34:13.75\00:34:17.69
To the King of Kings
00:34:17.72\00:34:21.59
And the Lord, our God,
00:34:21.62\00:34:25.59
Is wonderful
00:34:25.63\00:34:29.60
All praises be
00:34:29.63\00:34:33.54
To the King of Kings
00:34:33.57\00:34:37.37
And the, Lord of Lords,
00:34:37.41\00:34:41.31
Is wonderful
00:34:41.34\00:34:44.31
Hallelujah,
00:34:47.48\00:34:50.22
Salvation and glory
00:34:50.25\00:34:54.42
Honor and power,
00:34:54.46\00:34:57.56
He is wonderful
00:34:57.59\00:35:03.00
Oh, wow.
00:35:03.03\00:35:04.37
Praise the Lord.
00:35:04.40\00:35:05.73
You guys are
teaching them how to worship.
00:35:05.77\00:35:07.37
And so I just have to ask,
how long are these children
00:35:07.40\00:35:10.77
able to stay with
you in this program?
00:35:10.81\00:35:13.64
It's powerful.
00:35:13.68\00:35:16.68
Well, actually,
the children come here
00:35:16.71\00:35:18.81
from the day of
referral could be...
00:35:18.85\00:35:20.78
They can be as
young as weeks old.
00:35:20.82\00:35:23.65
We've had as young as days old.
00:35:23.69\00:35:26.79
We had a young baby that
was thrown into the toilet
00:35:26.82\00:35:29.66
and he was a newborn baby.
00:35:29.69\00:35:32.19
And he was referred to
us from social services.
00:35:32.23\00:35:35.43
So they're here from
newborn up until age 21.
00:35:35.46\00:35:40.07
And our goal is to try
to educate them spiritually,
00:35:40.10\00:35:44.31
and even to help them
to be productive citizens
00:35:44.34\00:35:46.91
of Tanzania,
00:35:46.94\00:35:48.28
where they can
be self-sufficient
00:35:48.31\00:35:50.41
and help themselves to be
a little bit more independent
00:35:50.45\00:35:53.31
when they leave these gates.
00:35:53.35\00:35:55.02
They can support themselves.
00:35:55.05\00:35:56.58
We teach them agriculture,
we teach cooking, cleaning,
00:35:56.62\00:36:01.99
taking care of each other,
00:36:02.02\00:36:03.43
taking care of
little children, et cetera.
00:36:03.46\00:36:05.59
So we're teaching
them practical skills
00:36:05.63\00:36:07.30
that will help them
00:36:07.33\00:36:08.66
when they get
old enough to leave.
00:36:08.70\00:36:10.23
And we don't
really want them to leave
00:36:10.27\00:36:12.07
until they can demonstrate
00:36:12.10\00:36:13.84
that they can be safe
00:36:13.87\00:36:15.94
and they can take
care of themselves
00:36:15.97\00:36:17.57
once they leave these gates.
00:36:17.61\00:36:18.94
Amen.
00:36:18.97\00:36:20.31
And our first one,
00:36:20.34\00:36:22.21
she's going to
start a vocational school
00:36:22.24\00:36:24.51
this next week to become a chef.
00:36:24.55\00:36:27.45
Wow. Wow.
00:36:27.48\00:36:28.82
That's
powerful. That's powerful.
00:36:28.85\00:36:30.35
So just questions
coming to my mind is,
00:36:30.39\00:36:32.99
does the government...
00:36:33.02\00:36:34.42
You know, you're in Tanzania.
00:36:34.46\00:36:35.79
Does the government
of Tanzania help you guys
00:36:35.82\00:36:37.33
at all with these children?
00:36:37.36\00:36:38.93
Or how does that work?
00:36:38.96\00:36:42.20
No, not at all.
00:36:42.23\00:36:43.57
But the government
has acknowledged us
00:36:43.60\00:36:45.70
as the number one representation
00:36:45.73\00:36:48.54
of an orphanage in
the country of Tanzania.
00:36:48.57\00:36:51.17
They've even broadcasted
on TV here in Tanzania.
00:36:51.21\00:36:54.31
We're rated as the number
one orphanage in the country.
00:36:54.34\00:36:57.68
And one of the
reasons why they say that is
00:36:57.71\00:36:59.48
because they see
that we're just family.
00:36:59.51\00:37:02.52
All of the children
have their own mamas
00:37:02.55\00:37:04.42
to take care of 'em,
00:37:04.45\00:37:05.79
and it's just a
family environment.
00:37:05.82\00:37:08.52
Wow.
00:37:08.56\00:37:09.89
That's amazing. That's amazing.
00:37:09.92\00:37:11.33
So, you know, do
you guys doing...
00:37:11.36\00:37:13.96
You know, does...
00:37:14.00\00:37:15.33
Are the children
able to be adopted
00:37:15.36\00:37:16.73
or is there some
type of adoption program?
00:37:16.77\00:37:19.80
How does that work as well
00:37:19.83\00:37:21.17
'cause I've got
all these questions
00:37:21.20\00:37:22.54
flowing around in my mind.
00:37:22.57\00:37:23.91
This is amazing.
00:37:23.94\00:37:25.27
You guys, what
you're doing is powerful,
00:37:25.31\00:37:26.64
powerful ministry
ministering to these kids.
00:37:26.68\00:37:28.31
So what about adoption?
00:37:28.34\00:37:29.68
Is that an option?
00:37:29.71\00:37:32.68
Well, we've had
11 children adopted
00:37:32.71\00:37:34.85
ever since we
started taking care
00:37:34.88\00:37:36.38
of the children in 2010,
00:37:36.42\00:37:37.85
when we opened our
first children's home.
00:37:37.89\00:37:40.06
But the adoption laws
have just recently changed
00:37:40.09\00:37:42.96
where they say you have to live
in the country for three years.
00:37:42.99\00:37:46.03
But evidently, they're
not stringent about that.
00:37:46.06\00:37:49.20
You can come and
first foster a child
00:37:49.23\00:37:52.30
and then go back to the States
and then keep on coming back.
00:37:52.33\00:37:55.44
It's going to take
several three or four trips
00:37:55.47\00:37:57.81
back and forth for the process.
00:37:57.84\00:37:59.81
And it may take as
long as three years
00:37:59.84\00:38:02.04
in order for that
process to transpire.
00:38:02.08\00:38:04.65
So since the law has
just recently changed,
00:38:04.68\00:38:07.42
we haven't had anybody
00:38:07.45\00:38:08.78
that started the
adoption process again.
00:38:08.82\00:38:10.79
But we're willing
to work with anybody
00:38:10.82\00:38:12.62
who's willing
to come to visit us
00:38:12.65\00:38:14.46
and make a choice
of one of our children.
00:38:14.49\00:38:17.09
We have plenty children
for them to choose from.
00:38:17.13\00:38:19.09
Amen. Amen.
00:38:19.13\00:38:20.50
Praise the Lord.
00:38:20.53\00:38:21.86
And I understand
you guys don't just work
00:38:21.90\00:38:25.50
with just children all the time.
00:38:25.53\00:38:27.97
You know, God's not just
using Falco's Children Africa
00:38:28.00\00:38:30.97
to just minister
to just children,
00:38:31.01\00:38:32.57
but you were talking
to me kind of off the set
00:38:32.61\00:38:35.84
about these 13 women.
00:38:35.88\00:38:37.25
You have a picture of them.
00:38:37.28\00:38:38.95
Tell us a little
bit about these 13 women
00:38:38.98\00:38:41.58
that you were briefly telling me
00:38:41.62\00:38:43.32
about behind the scenes.
00:38:43.35\00:38:47.36
Well, about two years ago,
00:38:47.39\00:38:49.39
or just about two
and a half years ago,
00:38:49.42\00:38:52.06
Jerry had a special interest
00:38:52.09\00:38:55.53
in trying to locate women
00:38:55.56\00:38:58.80
that were prostitutes
that work in local areas.
00:38:58.83\00:39:02.67
You see, the reason why we
have so many abandoned children
00:39:02.70\00:39:06.64
is because of prostitution.
00:39:06.68\00:39:08.51
Unfortunately, when these work,
00:39:08.54\00:39:11.71
because they are not
able to care for themselves
00:39:11.75\00:39:15.38
and babies that as a
result of the prostitution.
00:39:15.42\00:39:18.75
Many of these
children are discarded.
00:39:18.79\00:39:21.26
And so we get to...
00:39:21.29\00:39:23.32
We get these children
00:39:23.36\00:39:24.69
that are a referral from,
unfortunately, these practices.
00:39:24.73\00:39:27.86
So when Jerry went out
to try to locate these women
00:39:27.90\00:39:31.33
and minister to
them, 26 of them.
00:39:31.37\00:39:34.67
He was able to
locate at least 26 of them,
00:39:34.70\00:39:37.74
invited them to
come to the orphanage.
00:39:37.77\00:39:40.04
At first, they did not know
00:39:40.08\00:39:41.61
that they were coming
to an orphanage per Se.
00:39:41.64\00:39:44.18
They thought it was
just a regular school
00:39:44.21\00:39:45.88
with beautiful little
children running up and down,
00:39:45.91\00:39:48.72
all loving each other,
everyone loving on them.
00:39:48.75\00:39:51.42
And one of the
ladies just happened to ask,
00:39:51.45\00:39:54.56
"Well, what kind of a
school do you have here?
00:39:54.59\00:39:56.56
It's very nice school."
00:39:56.59\00:39:57.93
And when Jerry told them
it was really an orphanage
00:39:57.96\00:40:00.56
and the reason why
we have so many children
00:40:00.60\00:40:03.06
at the orphanage
00:40:03.10\00:40:04.43
was as a result of prostitution,
00:40:04.47\00:40:06.40
they were floored.
00:40:06.43\00:40:07.77
They were humbled.
There were many tears.
00:40:07.80\00:40:09.54
But they began to
realize the impact
00:40:09.57\00:40:12.01
of what they were doing
00:40:12.04\00:40:13.38
and how it
affected the children here.
00:40:13.41\00:40:16.44
But, you know, the grace of God
00:40:16.48\00:40:18.68
had lovely smiles
for these children.
00:40:18.71\00:40:20.68
They were full of love.
00:40:20.72\00:40:22.05
They wrapped their arms around
these women and welcomed them,
00:40:22.08\00:40:24.82
sang for them,
and played with them
00:40:24.85\00:40:27.19
so much so that
their hearts were touched.
00:40:27.22\00:40:29.42
They were open and
they were even more open
00:40:29.46\00:40:31.63
to receive the Word of God,
00:40:31.66\00:40:33.40
that after few months
of just Bible studies,
00:40:33.43\00:40:36.16
that they came out
no matter what weather.
00:40:36.20\00:40:38.93
The weather was like...
00:40:38.97\00:40:40.30
Whether it was
raining, whether it was muddy,
00:40:40.34\00:40:42.84
they still took
whatever transportation
00:40:42.87\00:40:45.01
they could come,
00:40:45.04\00:40:46.37
with their Bibles
that Jerry had given them,
00:40:46.41\00:40:48.71
and they studied
the Word of God until...
00:40:48.74\00:40:50.98
That picture
demonstrates 13 of those ladies
00:40:51.01\00:40:54.15
lined up for baptism.
00:40:54.18\00:40:55.85
And the last lady in
that line is the mother
00:40:55.88\00:40:59.05
or how do you say?
00:40:59.09\00:41:02.26
The leader of the ladies.
00:41:02.29\00:41:04.43
She is the one that went back
to tell all the other ladies
00:41:04.46\00:41:08.16
about the Word of God.
00:41:08.20\00:41:09.56
And so she is the woman
at the well here at Tanzania.
00:41:09.60\00:41:13.07
She's the first evangelist
from Falco's state event
00:41:13.10\00:41:17.41
and they have been baptized.
00:41:17.44\00:41:19.17
That's amazing. That's amazing.
00:41:19.21\00:41:20.88
So we got...
That's powerful. Wow.
00:41:20.91\00:41:24.41
That's amazing. So it's you...
00:41:24.45\00:41:26.11
Lord is using this ministry
00:41:26.15\00:41:27.48
to reach all kinds of
people, children and adults.
00:41:27.52\00:41:30.62
And so praise the Lord for that.
00:41:30.65\00:41:32.05
We have about...
00:41:32.09\00:41:33.42
We have about a minute here
00:41:33.46\00:41:35.16
before we go to a seven
minute video of interviews
00:41:35.19\00:41:38.33
that you guys have conducted
or that Valerie conducted.
00:41:38.36\00:41:40.86
And I just want to
ask just in this minute,
00:41:40.90\00:41:42.73
if you could just tell us,
what are the greatest needs
00:41:42.76\00:41:45.17
of this orphanage right now?
00:41:45.20\00:41:46.63
What is it that
you need the most?
00:41:46.67\00:41:51.27
Regular monthly supporters.
00:41:51.31\00:41:53.01
Because our average expenses
00:41:53.04\00:41:55.81
each month is
about $12,000 to $13,000,
00:41:55.84\00:41:58.75
depending whether we have
maintenance issues or not.
00:41:58.78\00:42:01.35
And we don't have
that many that support us
00:42:01.38\00:42:03.72
on a regular monthly basis.
00:42:03.75\00:42:05.59
It costs us about $66
00:42:05.62\00:42:08.72
for our boarding students
to go to school each quarter,
00:42:08.76\00:42:12.29
and $47 for each one
of the local students
00:42:12.33\00:42:15.23
to go to school.
00:42:15.26\00:42:16.60
So just anybody
that's willing to help us
00:42:16.63\00:42:18.40
on a regular monthly basis,
00:42:18.43\00:42:20.07
so we can increase our base
00:42:20.10\00:42:22.00
so we know what we
have for the next month.
00:42:22.04\00:42:24.31
Right.
00:42:24.34\00:42:25.91
Wow. That's amazing.
00:42:25.94\00:42:27.61
I'm sure there's so
many different moving parts
00:42:27.64\00:42:30.38
and, you know, a
lot that goes into this.
00:42:30.41\00:42:32.71
And so, you know what?
00:42:32.75\00:42:34.08
What I would like to do is
go to that interview right now.
00:42:34.12\00:42:36.05
That set...
00:42:36.08\00:42:37.42
Those series of
interviews right now.
00:42:37.45\00:42:38.79
When we come
back on the other side
00:42:38.82\00:42:40.16
of this interview,
00:42:40.19\00:42:41.52
we're going to provide our
viewers with an opportunity,
00:42:41.56\00:42:43.06
some information of
how they can get in contact
00:42:43.09\00:42:45.06
with you guys.
00:42:45.09\00:42:46.43
And I'm going to have you
guys to tell us a little bit
00:42:46.46\00:42:47.80
how people can support you.
00:42:47.83\00:42:49.26
So let's go to those
interviews right now.
00:42:49.30\00:42:53.90
Good afternoon.
00:42:53.94\00:42:55.27
My name is Valerie Simon Backus.
00:42:55.30\00:42:57.01
I am interviewing the
children at Falco's orphanage,
00:42:57.04\00:43:00.14
my children, to be able to share
00:43:00.18\00:43:02.51
their own testimony
about life here at Falco's.
00:43:02.54\00:43:05.95
Some of the children
have been here at a point
00:43:05.98\00:43:09.45
where they can clearly
remember their life beside come,
00:43:09.48\00:43:11.89
before coming to Falco's.
00:43:11.92\00:43:13.79
But without further
ado, I have Mwajuma here,
00:43:13.82\00:43:19.49
who's going to share for
herself what life has been
00:43:19.53\00:43:22.56
and how she's now experiencing
life here at Falco's.
00:43:22.60\00:43:27.00
The first time I used to
live with my mom and dad,
00:43:27.04\00:43:30.34
but they divorced each other.
00:43:30.37\00:43:33.24
So no one, father or mother,
00:43:33.27\00:43:36.44
nobody wanted to take the baby.
00:43:36.48\00:43:39.58
Then my grandmother
said, "I can take...
00:43:39.61\00:43:42.02
I can raise her."
00:43:42.05\00:43:43.49
So I went to live
with my grandmother,
00:43:43.52\00:43:47.02
but the life
there was not that good.
00:43:47.06\00:43:50.76
I used to be
like a street child,
00:43:50.79\00:43:54.66
have one meal a day.
00:43:54.70\00:43:56.60
Maybe it's after... Like that.
00:43:56.63\00:43:59.23
And one day, there
were... I saw mama and baba.
00:43:59.27\00:44:04.94
They came to
visit there at home.
00:44:04.97\00:44:08.18
They came with mommy Robbie.
00:44:08.21\00:44:11.31
So they sign up the
document and I'm in Falco's.
00:44:11.35\00:44:16.52
But life outside Falco's
was very, very, very bad.
00:44:16.55\00:44:21.52
But now I get good education,
00:44:21.56\00:44:25.33
put on good
clothes, eat enough food.
00:44:25.36\00:44:28.46
And I feel like I have a family,
00:44:28.50\00:44:32.13
not like before.
00:44:32.17\00:44:33.74
I've been here at
Falco's for 12 years old
00:44:33.77\00:44:36.20
because I came here...
00:44:36.24\00:44:37.57
It was 2010.
00:44:37.61\00:44:39.11
And I stayed here
until I'm 17 years old.
00:44:39.14\00:44:43.11
When we were
allowed to go back home
00:44:43.14\00:44:44.95
to see how
lifestyle is there at home,
00:44:44.98\00:44:47.75
I experienced that life in here
00:44:47.78\00:44:49.55
and life outside
there is very different.
00:44:49.58\00:44:51.82
When I see that some children
are wandering in streets.
00:44:51.85\00:44:54.59
They have nowhere to go
00:44:54.62\00:44:55.96
but here people are
living healthy and secured.
00:44:55.99\00:44:59.86
This made me to become strong
00:44:59.89\00:45:02.60
and want to
become a social worker
00:45:02.63\00:45:04.60
so I can help
some other children
00:45:04.63\00:45:06.33
who are struggling
out there without food,
00:45:06.37\00:45:09.24
shelter, and clothes.
00:45:09.27\00:45:10.81
That's what I want
to be when I grow up.
00:45:10.84\00:45:12.61
And I want to be a social worker
00:45:12.64\00:45:14.31
to help everybody outside there
00:45:14.34\00:45:16.04
and show people that
children are very valuable.
00:45:16.08\00:45:19.05
And when they are given support,
00:45:19.08\00:45:21.25
they can be such
great people in this world.
00:45:21.28\00:45:23.72
Some want to be
doctors, some want to be nurses,
00:45:23.75\00:45:26.09
some want to be
pilots, and many other careers.
00:45:26.12\00:45:29.39
So if you assist
them, they can do it.
00:45:29.42\00:45:34.70
So welcome, Helen.
00:45:34.73\00:45:36.16
Tell us about yourself?
00:45:36.20\00:45:37.60
First, when I was at
my home, I was a Muslim.
00:45:37.63\00:45:41.47
But when I come here, I
decide to be a Christian.
00:45:41.50\00:45:45.51
Because if you...
00:45:45.54\00:45:47.61
If I was a Muslim,
when I was a Muslim,
00:45:47.64\00:45:52.08
it was not very good
because every day you go to...
00:45:52.11\00:45:55.48
It's like you go
to like normal...
00:45:55.52\00:45:58.09
You go to Bible study.
00:45:58.12\00:45:59.59
So you are going then
after going to the mosque,
00:45:59.62\00:46:03.79
just like subject.
00:46:03.83\00:46:05.43
If you wrong, you just
being punished just like that.
00:46:05.46\00:46:09.03
If you not go
again to the mosque,
00:46:09.06\00:46:12.70
my grandma starts
beating me just like that.
00:46:12.73\00:46:16.54
When I was here, I
decided to be a Christian
00:46:16.57\00:46:19.37
because I love
Jesus, then I know about,
00:46:19.41\00:46:22.18
more about Jesus.
00:46:22.21\00:46:23.55
Amen.
00:46:23.58\00:46:24.91
Thank you.
00:46:24.95\00:46:26.28
And what do you want to
become when you get older?
00:46:26.31\00:46:28.75
My dream is to be a
doctor and to have a big church.
00:46:28.78\00:46:33.96
To have a big church? All right.
00:46:33.99\00:46:35.96
So you'll be
spreading the gospel too?
00:46:35.99\00:46:38.13
Yes, because at school,
00:46:38.16\00:46:39.49
I am the head of
all church there.
00:46:39.53\00:46:41.73
Oh, really?
00:46:41.76\00:46:43.16
Well, that's wonderful.
00:46:43.20\00:46:44.53
That's awesome.
00:46:44.57\00:46:45.93
I'm glad that you are able
to at least spread the gospel
00:46:45.97\00:46:48.60
wherever you are at school.
00:46:48.64\00:46:50.07
God bless you.
00:46:50.11\00:46:51.44
Thank you so much
for your testimony.
00:46:51.47\00:46:52.81
Thank you.
00:46:52.84\00:46:54.18
Thank you.
00:46:54.21\00:46:55.54
Tell us a little bit
about yourself, Anna,
00:46:55.58\00:46:57.38
and school, and
what you're doing,
00:46:57.41\00:46:59.28
what you want to become?
00:46:59.31\00:47:01.18
I love being here
00:47:01.22\00:47:03.25
because the life is very good.
00:47:03.28\00:47:07.49
I have all the
basic needs like food,
00:47:07.52\00:47:10.19
shelter, and clothes, education.
00:47:10.23\00:47:15.00
I thank the Lord
because I'm here,
00:47:15.03\00:47:18.53
because the life of our home
00:47:18.57\00:47:22.64
was not very good.
00:47:22.67\00:47:25.31
It was very hard.
00:47:25.34\00:47:27.18
So I thank the Lord
for baba and mommy Sarah
00:47:27.21\00:47:31.51
came to take me to
come here in Falco's.
00:47:31.55\00:47:35.72
I have good education.
00:47:35.75\00:47:38.32
I have good clothes.
00:47:38.35\00:47:42.29
I thank Lord for this.
00:47:42.32\00:47:44.63
And I want to
be a businesswoman.
00:47:44.66\00:47:48.20
I'm 14 years old.
00:47:48.23\00:47:51.57
I'm in grade... Form one.
00:47:51.60\00:47:55.87
Yeah.
00:47:55.90\00:47:57.24
Okay.
00:47:57.27\00:47:58.61
This is Riziki Simon.
00:47:58.64\00:48:00.04
And although we
have the same last names,
00:48:00.08\00:48:02.01
we are perhaps
distantly related.
00:48:02.04\00:48:04.78
She will be sharing with me
00:48:04.81\00:48:06.75
and the rest of us a
little bit of life here
00:48:06.78\00:48:10.02
and her experiences personally,
her Falco's experience.
00:48:10.05\00:48:14.59
So tell us a little
bit about yourself, Riziki.
00:48:14.62\00:48:17.06
How old you are and
what school and grade,
00:48:17.09\00:48:20.10
and what you want to
be, and all that nice stuff.
00:48:20.13\00:48:22.90
Okay?
00:48:22.93\00:48:24.27
Okay.
00:48:24.30\00:48:25.67
I am 15 years old.
00:48:25.70\00:48:28.57
And then my school is
Flores Secondary School.
00:48:28.60\00:48:32.11
And I'm in form
one, and the subjects
00:48:32.14\00:48:36.88
which I like is
physics, chemistry,
00:48:36.91\00:48:41.55
math, biology.
00:48:41.58\00:48:44.52
And when I grow up,
I would like to be...
00:48:44.55\00:48:47.19
I have like three ambitions.
00:48:47.22\00:48:49.86
I want to be...
00:48:49.89\00:48:51.23
First, I want to
be a hotel manager.
00:48:51.26\00:48:53.40
Second, I'd
like to be a teacher,
00:48:53.43\00:48:56.43
and third, I'd
like to be a doctor.
00:48:56.46\00:48:58.23
Okay.
00:48:58.27\00:48:59.60
Falco's Children,
00:49:02.37\00:49:05.37
we normally go to
church on Sabbath day.
00:49:05.41\00:49:09.98
And we normally do
the service on Saturday.
00:49:10.01\00:49:15.25
So I like to worship God.
00:49:15.28\00:49:18.55
I like to praise God,
and I like too to sing.
00:49:18.59\00:49:22.06
I like to be a
musician when I grow up.
00:49:22.09\00:49:25.23
I would like to
sing the gospel songs.
00:49:25.26\00:49:29.00
And then in Falco's,
00:49:29.03\00:49:31.53
I like to stay with
children to play with them.
00:49:31.57\00:49:35.87
I like to help
mamas to do work...
00:49:35.90\00:49:38.87
Some works for children.
00:49:38.91\00:49:42.78
And I like to... I like to play.
00:49:42.81\00:49:46.85
Yeah. That's all.
00:49:46.88\00:49:48.58
All right. All right.
00:49:48.62\00:49:51.85
Wow.
00:49:51.89\00:49:53.22
That's just
hearing each and every one
00:49:53.25\00:49:54.66
of those interviews,
00:49:54.69\00:49:56.02
the responses from
these young ladies.
00:49:56.06\00:49:59.66
That's
powerful. That's powerful.
00:49:59.69\00:50:01.23
You can see that those
lives have been changed
00:50:01.26\00:50:03.53
by what Falco's
Children Africa has been doing.
00:50:03.57\00:50:06.80
So, Jerry and
Valerie, real quick.
00:50:06.84\00:50:09.17
We got about a minute here.
00:50:09.20\00:50:10.84
Tell us, how can
people support you?
00:50:10.87\00:50:13.24
If they want to support you
and it's laid on their heart
00:50:13.27\00:50:16.58
to give and to
support this ministry,
00:50:16.61\00:50:18.55
how can they do that?
00:50:18.58\00:50:21.18
Well, first in prayers,
00:50:21.22\00:50:22.55
'cause we always
need your prayers.
00:50:22.58\00:50:24.19
Because we have children
00:50:24.22\00:50:25.55
that's come through intolerance,
00:50:25.59\00:50:26.92
who have been burned
because they were abandoned.
00:50:26.96\00:50:28.96
People throw holy water
on 'em when they're abandoned
00:50:28.99\00:50:31.59
and they don't want 'em.
00:50:31.63\00:50:32.96
So we have a lot of needs here.
00:50:32.99\00:50:34.46
But you can go to the website,
00:50:34.50\00:50:36.53
which is
www.falcoschildrenafria.org
00:50:36.56\00:50:40.07
We have PayPal on the website.
00:50:40.10\00:50:42.00
We also have a
mailing address in Oklahoma
00:50:42.04\00:50:44.74
that you can mail checks to.
00:50:44.77\00:50:47.14
And I promise you, you
will be blessed for helping us.
00:50:47.18\00:50:49.74
Amen.
00:50:49.78\00:50:51.11
Go see James 1:27.
00:50:51.15\00:50:52.95
And it's all...
00:50:52.98\00:50:54.32
Sure, all of
you know James 1:27.
00:50:54.35\00:50:56.32
Amen.
00:50:56.35\00:50:57.69
Praise the
Lord. Praise the Lord.
00:50:57.72\00:50:59.05
Well, guys, listen, I
also want to just make mention,
00:50:59.09\00:51:00.86
because we're about
to go to an address role
00:51:00.89\00:51:02.86
where our viewers can
see all of that information
00:51:02.89\00:51:05.26
you just mentioned
of how to contact you.
00:51:05.29\00:51:06.83
But I got to make mention,
these brother and sister,
00:51:06.86\00:51:09.53
they are eight hours
ahead of Central Time.
00:51:09.56\00:51:12.13
So they're...
00:51:12.17\00:51:13.50
You're going to see a
number in just a moment,
00:51:13.54\00:51:14.87
(918) 615-8664.
00:51:14.90\00:51:17.27
That is the Skype number.
00:51:17.31\00:51:19.34
And if you were to
call them from America,
00:51:19.37\00:51:20.94
keep in mind
00:51:20.98\00:51:22.31
they're eight hours
ahead of Central Time.
00:51:22.34\00:51:24.01
So you may be calling
them in the middle of the night
00:51:24.05\00:51:26.18
or in the middle of the morning.
00:51:26.21\00:51:27.55
So be sure to keep in
mind the time difference
00:51:27.58\00:51:30.92
if you decide to
reach out by phone number.
00:51:30.95\00:51:33.19
So I tell you
what we're going to do,
00:51:33.22\00:51:34.56
we're going to go to
that address role right now.
00:51:34.59\00:51:36.06
And then when we come back
00:51:36.09\00:51:37.43
on the other side
of that address role,
00:51:37.46\00:51:38.79
we're going to get
some final thoughts
00:51:38.83\00:51:40.16
from Jerry and Valerie.
00:51:40.20\00:51:41.53
