Hello friends and welcome to
another edition of 3ABN Today.
00:01:15.00\00:01:18.84
And let me tell you something.
Don't think this is just your
00:01:18.87\00:01:21.28
average, normal 3ABN Today okay
because I'm on fire, I'm excited
00:01:21.31\00:01:24.71
about what's going to be
happening today during this hour
00:01:24.75\00:01:27.32
So if you have friends, family
members, coworkers, brothers,
00:01:27.35\00:01:32.25
sisters, anybody, enemies.
Get them all together right now
00:01:32.29\00:01:34.92
because you're going to want to
watch what we have during this
00:01:34.96\00:01:37.53
hour. I've had some time to
spend with our guests just prior
00:01:37.56\00:01:41.93
to this interview right now
and I am just, I'm so excited.
00:01:41.96\00:01:44.70
I wish we had two and three
hours to talk about what we're
00:01:44.73\00:01:47.24
going to be talking about
today. But we have Gideon Rescue
00:01:47.27\00:01:50.81
Company in the
house. How you guys doing?
00:01:50.84\00:01:54.88
Good (multiple voices)
00:01:54.91\00:01:56.24
I spent a little time with these
brothers and sisters. They are
00:01:56.28\00:01:57.61
on fire for the Lord. I'm on
fire for what they're doing for
00:01:57.65\00:02:00.52
the Lord and I promise you
you're not going to want to miss
00:02:00.55\00:02:03.12
what's happening and what
they're doing and what God is
00:02:03.15\00:02:04.75
using them to do and how you
also may be able to participate
00:02:04.79\00:02:08.69
with them in what they're doing
for the cause of God. We're
00:02:08.72\00:02:11.49
going to have some pictures and
videos and all types of exciting
00:02:11.53\00:02:14.13
things and talking about
what God is doing through Gideon
00:02:14.16\00:02:16.90
Rescue Co. But before we
get right into this interview we
00:02:16.93\00:02:22.00
have a special number
that's coming to us by the group
00:02:22.04\00:02:23.91
Message of Mercy and they're
going to be bringing us the

Lord, for by His hand He leadeth
00:05:46.17\00:05:50.35
me. I love that song. Thank you
ladies for that beautiful music.
00:05:50.38\00:05:53.01
And now we come to the point why
we're here. To talk to Gideon
00:05:53.05\00:05:58.55
Rescue Company. Let's get on
with the introductions because
00:05:58.59\00:06:01.22
you guys,
00:06:01.26\00:06:02.59
it's been a couple of years
since you've been here. But we
00:06:02.62\00:06:05.76
have Brock Meyer.
How you doing Brock
00:06:05.83\00:06:07.16
I'm doing well.
00:06:07.20\00:06:08.53
All right. Praise
the Lord. We're going to
00:06:08.56\00:06:09.90
come back in just a moment and
talk about what each of your do
00:06:09.93\00:06:11.27
But I'm just kind of going
down here. We have Brock Meyer
00:06:11.30\00:06:13.64
We have Dana Connell and then
we also have Wils Teal. Wils
00:06:13.67\00:06:22.01
Teal. I love that name. And then
we also have Miss Meredith Poole
00:06:22.04\00:06:25.01
It's a blessing to have each
of you but last but not least we
00:06:25.05\00:06:28.98
have to introduce Minnie. We got
Minnie with his food. Oh there
00:06:29.02\00:06:35.19
she is. It's a she, right? It's
a she. Okay I want to make sure
00:06:35.22\00:06:36.99
we're correct on that. So just
real quick, what does Minnie do?
00:06:37.03\00:06:39.66
Minnie is a search and
rescue canine that goes out in
00:06:39.69\00:06:45.63
disasters and looks for missing
or lost people, or even deceased
00:06:45.67\00:06:49.80
people if necessary.
00:06:49.84\00:06:51.17
Wow, praise the Lord for Minnie.
Wow. Praise God. So you know
00:06:51.21\00:06:55.01
what there may be someone
watching at home right now
00:06:55.04\00:06:57.41
that's never, ever heard
of Gideon Rescue Company.
00:06:57.45\00:07:01.18
Brock, what is
Gideon Rescue Company?
00:07:01.22\00:07:03.02
What do you guys
do. Tell us a little bit
00:07:03.05\00:07:04.65
about the history and how
it came about and all that.
00:07:04.69\00:07:06.59
We got our start back in
college I took the degree
00:07:06.62\00:07:11.66
International Rescue and Relief
from Union College. And from
00:07:11.69\00:07:14.26
that degree program we decided
to carry forward that mission
00:07:14.30\00:07:16.87
endeavor to actually start a
ministry and say we want this to
00:07:16.90\00:07:21.50
be a full commitment throughout
all of our lives and invite
00:07:21.54\00:07:23.51
anybody who wanted to join that
as well. And we're a disaster
00:07:23.54\00:07:27.08
response company but perhaps
a disaster response company of a
00:07:27.11\00:07:28.94
little bit of a different nature
because we recognize that not
00:07:28.98\00:07:32.18
only are the physical needs
most important but there's even
00:07:32.21\00:07:35.58
a more important need and that
is the spiritual need. And so we
00:07:35.62\00:07:39.75
are a gospel ministry reaching
people in times of disaster
00:07:39.79\00:07:44.09
through the practical
means that God gives us.
00:07:44.13\00:07:45.99
Right. That is so awesome. But
there's probably someone right
00:07:46.03\00:07:48.90
now, I know I would probably
think of this: Well wait a
00:07:48.93\00:07:51.93
second. The government
has agencies. You know we have
00:07:51.97\00:07:55.54
different you know organizations
for the government that does
00:07:55.57\00:07:58.61
this type of stuff so why do you
guys go out and do this if you
00:07:58.64\00:08:01.34
already have that. What's the
purpose that kind of sets you
00:08:01.38\00:08:03.65
apart from those agencies?
00:08:03.68\00:08:06.01
It's an excellent question
and what really sets us apart is
00:08:06.05\00:08:10.05
that there are other
organizations out there
00:08:10.09\00:08:11.42
that are much better equipped,
much better organized in terms
00:08:11.45\00:08:14.49
of what they can handle on the
humanitarian front. You have the
00:08:14.52\00:08:18.39
Red Cross, you have Samaritan's
Purse, you have FEMA task force
00:08:18.43\00:08:21.60
teams here in the United States
but what these other teams
00:08:21.63\00:08:25.10
especially the government teams
the secular teams, what they
00:08:25.13\00:08:28.00
don't provide is that spiritual
hope and the context for why
00:08:28.04\00:08:33.91
we're seeing these disasters
occurring. They do their job and
00:08:33.94\00:08:37.31
they're very excellent with what
they do, the professionals in
00:08:37.35\00:08:39.81
the highest sense, but in terms
of giving people context for why
00:08:39.85\00:08:44.22
are we seeing these things
and giving people hope to anchor
00:08:44.25\00:08:46.65
them in difficult times that's
something that is not in their
00:08:46.69\00:08:50.39
job set or their skills.
00:08:50.43\00:08:51.76
I'm sure you get that question
a lot in the line of work, why,
00:08:51.79\00:08:53.53
why does this happen? Why do
these disasters come upon us?
00:08:53.56\00:08:57.57
Why does...I'm sure some people
kind of you know who are caught
00:08:57.60\00:09:00.84
up in these things shake
the fist at God and say Lord why
00:09:00.87\00:09:02.97
why did you allow this to happen
So how do you respond to a
00:09:03.00\00:09:06.01
question like that?
00:09:06.04\00:09:07.38
What's also a developmental
question in Gideon Rescue
00:09:07.41\00:09:10.75
itself, right? And the question
sort of went like this. If we
00:09:10.78\00:09:13.68
know these things are going
to be happening from God's word
00:09:13.72\00:09:16.58
what are we doing about it?
00:09:16.62\00:09:19.25
That's right. Absolutely.
00:09:19.29\00:09:21.56
Yeah and when people ask that
question why, they're looking
00:09:21.59\00:09:26.19
for context. And oftentimes the
you know the narrative is that
00:09:26.23\00:09:29.36
they have a misunderstanding
that God is responsible for
00:09:29.40\00:09:32.00
these disasters. But the more
that we respond and the more
00:09:32.03\00:09:35.80
stories that we encounter the
more that we see the hand of God
00:09:35.84\00:09:38.47
at work, we can say absolutely
that God is not responsible for
00:09:38.51\00:09:44.31
these disasters but that He
allows them to happen because
00:09:44.35\00:09:46.25
He's so desperate. He wants to
save as many as possible. So we
00:09:46.28\00:09:49.75
see the mercy of God, we see the
hand of God but you also see the
00:09:49.78\00:09:53.36
judgment of God. You know like
we're living in the judgment
00:09:53.39\00:09:56.19
hour. So this is a solemn time
for all humanity to recognize
00:09:56.22\00:09:59.16
that there are things
that we must understand in our
00:09:59.19\00:10:01.83
relationship with God because
Jesus is coming soon. And so
00:10:01.86\00:10:05.90
because we have coming King what
does that mean in terms of the
00:10:05.93\00:10:09.67
weight that it has on our lives
and how we're living the lives.
00:10:09.70\00:10:11.57
So specifically what do you
do for Gideon Rescue. Do you all
00:10:11.61\00:10:15.54
do the same thing or do you
have specific jobs that you do
00:10:15.58\00:10:19.81
individually.
How does that work?
00:10:19.85\00:10:21.18
We do have different jobs and
different roles. I'm a member
00:10:21.22\00:10:25.32
of Gideon Rescue Company and you
know Dana here has been a real
00:10:25.35\00:10:29.46
blessing in helping us just make
incredible connections in the
00:10:29.49\00:10:32.19
community post-disaster and so
we've called her our clincher.
00:10:32.23\00:10:35.83
She comes in a lot of times
and really works with people and
00:10:35.86\00:10:39.60
solidifies those relationships
those connections that we've had
00:10:39.63\00:10:41.84
She also attended Union College
so I've know her for a time. And
00:10:41.87\00:10:47.84
Wils is a contractor by trade
but he's also trained as a swift
00:10:47.88\00:10:51.41
water rescue technician as well
as a boat rescue operator as
00:10:51.45\00:10:56.89
well as a canine
search and rescue handler...
00:10:56.92\00:10:59.05
And I know how to make peanut
butter and jelly sandwiches.
00:10:59.09\00:11:03.29
Oh, you knew it. He had it
on his face. You just look like
00:11:03.32\00:11:06.39
some bread and
some peanut butter guy.
00:11:06.43\00:11:09.36
And then Meredith as well. She's
one of our search and rescue
00:11:09.40\00:11:12.73
handlers but she performs many
roles and many tasks, no pun
00:11:12.77\00:11:17.27
intended for Minnie but she's
a blessing to have on the team
00:11:17.31\00:11:19.77
as well.
00:11:19.81\00:11:21.14
Amen, amen. Praise God, praise
God. You know what you guys do
00:11:21.18\00:11:25.68
is dangerous and it seems risky.
So just kind of talk about that
00:11:25.71\00:11:29.48
I mean because I mean you're
going on these disaster scenes
00:11:29.52\00:11:33.39
and who knows what kind of
situation you're going to run
00:11:33.42\00:11:35.32
into. Talk about some of the
disasters, some of the risks,
00:11:35.36\00:11:37.96
some of the dangers that you've
run into on the job because I
00:11:37.99\00:11:41.76
know if I'm watching this at
home I'm wondering you know...
00:11:41.80\00:11:43.77
Talk a little bit about that.
Give us details about what do
00:11:43.80\00:11:46.90
you guys deal with, you know,
on the job when you're actually
00:11:46.94\00:11:49.74
on-site and you're getting your
hands dirty and you're in there
00:11:49.77\00:11:54.04
working with people or working
in a, you know, post-disaster
00:11:54.08\00:11:57.05
situation.
00:11:57.08\00:11:58.71
So risk is inherent to what we
do. Risk is inherent to anything
00:11:58.75\00:12:03.05
you do. But it is especially
multiplied in the disaster scene
00:12:03.08\00:12:07.06
for sure. This is why training
is important. This is why
00:12:07.09\00:12:10.86
situational awareness is
important. But at the same time
00:12:10.89\00:12:14.36
what did God risk in coming
to this planet? Everything.
00:12:14.40\00:12:19.00
What did the apostles risk
in sharing the gospel message
00:12:19.03\00:12:22.94
with the world?
00:12:22.97\00:12:24.31
Everything. And so risk is not a
limiter for us. It is something
00:12:24.34\00:12:29.78
that we're aware of and
that we try to manage as best as
00:12:29.81\00:12:31.98
possible. But at the end of the
day, yes, there is risk involved
00:12:32.01\00:12:35.42
The helicopter upon which we're
riding could crash, you know.
00:12:35.45\00:12:38.25
The chainsaw which you are
wielding could cut through your
00:12:38.29\00:12:40.52
leg. You know. But these are
risks that we're willing to take
00:12:40.56\00:12:44.63
onto ourselves so that others
can live. But it's not also as
00:12:44.66\00:12:51.10
risky as sometimes you
think. Because there are many
00:12:51.13\00:12:53.67
opportunities to serve in the
disaster zone. You don't have to
00:12:53.70\00:12:57.47
just be the ultimate search and
rescue dog handler. You have an
00:12:57.51\00:13:02.04
opportunity if you can hand
somebody a cup of cold water
00:13:02.08\00:13:04.15
in Jesus' name then it's an
incredible way to be able to
00:13:04.18\00:13:08.32
minister the gospel. And so
there are many roles that can be
00:13:08.35\00:13:13.19
fulfilled with much
less degrees of risk.
00:13:13.22\00:13:15.96
I mean certainly, it's a
romantic thing to go there and
00:13:15.99\00:13:19.29
be in the midst of all the chaos
with the wind swirling and trees
00:13:19.33\00:13:22.53
falling and you know floods
swelling in the river, you know,
00:13:22.56\00:13:28.50
in the street so to speak. But
ultimately we get there at the
00:13:28.54\00:13:30.87
point of aftermath where, yeah,
there is some electrical line
00:13:30.91\00:13:33.98
that potentially could be in
the water. We do train for those
00:13:34.01\00:13:39.31
types of things. But a lot
of times are you ready, are you
00:13:39.35\00:13:42.75
willing to go and minister
to the people that you meet. So
00:13:42.78\00:13:48.62
Gideon rescue is more like a
fast response team right? But
00:13:48.66\00:13:54.03
the most important part of it is
to have people continue to come
00:13:54.06\00:14:00.24
and minister to the people that
are hurting. They need stamina
00:14:00.27\00:14:04.01
to get through the next six
months, right? And they're not
00:14:04.04\00:14:07.51
going to get through the next
six months if the Lord doesn't
00:14:07.54\00:14:11.85
come before then
without spiritual help.
00:14:11.88\00:14:15.38
Sure, sure, absolutely. That's
amazing. So I'm going to put, if
00:14:15.42\00:14:18.19
it's okay, I'm going to put Dana
on the spot here. Dana you kind
00:14:18.22\00:14:21.66
of briefly mentioned what you
do but what's it like for you in
00:14:21.69\00:14:24.29
what you do for Gideon Rescue
and how God uses you through
00:14:24.33\00:14:27.36
Gideon Rescue?
00:14:27.40\00:14:28.73
Yeah, it's a great question.
I'm still figuring this out so
00:14:28.76\00:14:31.53
Mayfield, Kentucky was my second
response. My first response was
00:14:31.57\00:14:34.97
in Iowa with the derecho
that came through that and the
00:14:35.00\00:14:39.04
hurricane that took out 10
million acres worth of crops,
00:14:39.07\00:14:40.58
brought down trees. But I
was 10 days late arriving.
00:14:40.61\00:14:43.45
I couldn't make it there for 10
days and by then they were gone.
00:14:43.48\00:14:46.35
And there was another person
flying in as a volunteer because
00:14:46.38\00:14:50.15
these volunteer just hear
and want to come. And what I was
00:14:50.19\00:14:53.15
was assisting on the ground for
that was the city leaders were
00:14:53.19\00:14:56.46
wanting people to go door
to door and check in on their
00:14:56.49\00:14:59.63
citizens because you're in the
midst of COVID, you're in the
00:14:59.66\00:15:02.43
of an epidemic or a higher
number of suicides in that area
00:15:02.46\00:15:07.30
and especially with these crops
and farmers years in a row just
00:15:07.34\00:15:10.07
struggling so I was like
literature evangelist skills
00:15:10.11\00:15:15.74
to the rescue. Like I can make
a survey I can check in on the
00:15:15.78\00:15:18.75
mental health of these citizens.
I can offer my pastoral
00:15:18.78\00:15:21.95
skills and sit
00:15:21.98\00:15:23.65
there and do counseling, I can
sit there and do Bible studies
00:15:23.69\00:15:26.25
in need be. But I was there
facilitating other groups that
00:15:26.29\00:15:29.32
kept coming in connected
with the Adventist Church. High
00:15:29.36\00:15:32.96
schools, different ministries. I
was expecting to be there for 10
00:15:32.99\00:15:36.80
days myself but I ended up being
there for nine months, two weeks
00:15:36.83\00:15:40.90
incremental at a time and
I'm not done there yet. But I've
00:15:40.94\00:15:44.64
been doing Bible work and
Bible studies and checking in on
00:15:44.67\00:15:48.04
people in the area so it's
also grown me because I'm alone.
00:15:48.08\00:15:50.95
There's no church, there's
nobody else around there so I've
00:15:50.98\00:15:54.98
been being stretched in my faith
and my courage. Go knock on
00:15:55.02\00:15:58.49
those doors, go visit those
farmers. So it's been beautiful
00:15:58.52\00:16:02.79
to check in on people and then
follow up. In Kentucky, you know
00:16:02.82\00:16:06.63
I landed a few days later but
again it's been more managing
00:16:06.66\00:16:09.56
the other volunteers that
come in, but helping with debris
00:16:09.60\00:16:13.03
clean up and using my pastoral
skills also to visit people who
00:16:13.07\00:16:16.60
had been survivors of the candle
factory that was destroyed and
00:16:16.64\00:16:22.24
ministering to some of them and
then can you go help this person
00:16:22.28\00:16:23.81
Hey, call this person. So being
able to facilitate that, keeping
00:16:23.85\00:16:29.38
in touch with some of the people
whose properties we did help who
00:16:29.42\00:16:32.22
were suicidal. There was one
individual who was suicidal. So
00:16:32.25\00:16:36.62
God did amazing things to
bring hope into his life through
00:16:36.66\00:16:38.66
disaster relief and debris clean
up and through other students
00:16:38.69\00:16:42.43
singing Amazing Grace to him.
And so I'm still in contact with
00:16:42.46\00:16:45.80
him. Our team is in contact with
him. And I don't feel like I'm
00:16:45.83\00:16:48.70
done there. I have a real burden
for grief ministry now in that
00:16:48.74\00:16:53.17
area. People have gone through
trauma and gone through these
00:16:53.21\00:16:56.21
losses of loved ones in the
various capacity. So I'm still
00:16:56.24\00:16:59.08
figuring out what can I do there
while God has me on a pause in
00:16:59.11\00:17:02.78
Iowa because when I was going
to head out back in July it was
00:17:02.82\00:17:05.92
like, wait. So He's had me do a
lot of other things. And so I'm
00:17:05.95\00:17:08.76
just waiting. Okay, God. I
go where He sends me, what He's
00:17:08.79\00:17:11.76
telling me to do. So it's
just always fluid and moving.
00:17:11.79\00:17:14.13
So you sound like the jack of
all trades over there. As you're
00:17:14.16\00:17:16.90
going through all of that I'm
thinking Uh, the multiple part
00:17:16.93\00:17:19.60
series of everything you just
mentioned. It's interesting in
00:17:19.63\00:17:22.70
what you were talking will
come to my mind is Ministry of
00:17:22.74\00:17:25.37
Healing, p. 143, Christ's method
alone will bring true success.
00:17:25.41\00:17:30.15
And that's exactly what you
guys are doing is that you are
00:17:30.18\00:17:33.82
mingling with these people.
You're ministering, you're
00:17:33.85\00:17:36.75
sympathizing with them and
ministering to their needs.
00:17:36.79\00:17:38.15
You're gaining their confidence
hopefully in the point that
00:17:38.19\00:17:43.26
through all of these, they will
see the Jesus in you. They will
00:17:43.29\00:17:44.63
see what the Holy Spirit is
doing through you guys and they
00:17:44.66\00:17:46.76
will desire to have what
you have. That's powerful.
00:17:46.80\00:17:49.13
There's one more risk in the
risk of experiencing a miracle
00:17:49.16\00:17:53.23
while you're there.
00:17:53.27\00:17:54.60
Oh wow. Of course, of course.
And I'm sure you guys have seen
00:17:54.64\00:17:58.51
a lot of those.
00:17:58.54\00:18:01.94
That's the beauty because one
of my neighbors when she heard
00:18:01.98\00:18:03.31
that I was going out to respond
to Mayfield, she was like, wow
00:18:03.35\00:18:07.42
that must be such a sad work
that you do. I'm like, you get
00:18:07.45\00:18:11.79
to see the collision of
the horrific and the miraculous
00:18:11.82\00:18:15.79
You get to see the heart and
the hands and the feet of God
00:18:15.82\00:18:18.49
running into the darkness and
into the pain and to the tragedy
00:18:18.53\00:18:21.50
And that's what we get to
see is the movement of God and
00:18:21.53\00:18:25.00
people seeing that. I just want
to share real quick like even
00:18:25.03\00:18:28.34
one story in a neighborhood
that was devastated, wealthy
00:18:28.37\00:18:31.27
neighborhood. The foundation
of the house was here and across
00:18:31.31\00:18:35.28
the street is his home in pieces
in rubble. And he told me when
00:18:35.31\00:18:39.48
he was sharing a bit of his
story, he said we heard that
00:18:39.51\00:18:44.22
tornado coming and I said to my
wife, they were in a closet in
00:18:44.25\00:18:47.46
the middle of their home. He's
like, I hear it coming and the
00:18:47.49\00:18:51.19
next thing I said, it's here.
And the next thing I knew we
00:18:51.23\00:18:53.83
were being launched from our
home at 300 some miles an hour
00:18:53.86\00:18:57.30
and I looked across the street
and there's a row of trees. And
00:18:57.33\00:19:00.40
I said, you mean to tell me that
you were thrown from your home
00:19:00.44\00:19:02.50
at over 300 miles an hour and
you missed every single one of
00:19:02.54\00:19:05.27
those trees and you landed
safely and all you did was break
00:19:05.31\00:19:08.64
a few ribs. That was God! His
wife's in the hospital with a
00:19:08.68\00:19:12.31
brain bleed. We were praying for
her. We were praying and just
00:19:12.35\00:19:14.65
way we were able to help on that
property and minister. But there
00:19:14.68\00:19:16.75
were people that didn't survive
who were thrown 300 miles an
00:19:16.79\00:19:19.45
hour. But just so many stories
of survival and of great loss
00:19:19.49\00:19:24.06
but of also seeing the hand of
God and people recognizing that
00:19:24.09\00:19:28.63
angels must have been covering
us because everything else in
00:19:28.66\00:19:30.90
our home is gone but we're alive
and our child did not make a
00:19:30.93\00:19:34.40
noise throughout the whole thing
00:19:34.44\00:19:35.77
Amen, amen. That's powerful
because as I'm hearing you all
00:19:35.80\00:19:40.71
say you know what you're doing
and what this powerful ministry
00:19:40.74\00:19:42.78
Gideon Rescue Company does, you
know I've been on scenes like
00:19:42.81\00:19:46.51
this. I've lived...I grew up in
northeastern Arkansas where we
00:19:46.55\00:19:49.38
got tornadoes every year. I mean
it's just a thing. But if you
00:19:49.42\00:19:54.46
want to see a time when people
are really humble, open and
00:19:54.49\00:19:59.19
receptive to the word of God, to
the speaking of the Holy Spirit,
00:19:59.23\00:20:02.96
it's when they're humbled in a
situation like that, where their
00:20:03.00\00:20:06.94
life has been turned upside down
in moments, in a day. They had
00:20:06.97\00:20:09.84
everything in one moment before
and now they don't. Now they're
00:20:09.87\00:20:13.78
confused, they're asking
questions, why, why has this
00:20:13.81\00:20:15.88
happened to me? But then
you guys show up and you provide
00:20:15.91\00:20:18.61
answers because you show that
God's still here and even in the
00:20:18.65\00:20:21.12
darkness he's still there. It's
so exciting. Meredith you know
00:20:21.15\00:20:24.92
I want to ask you the same
question because in all the line
00:20:24.95\00:20:28.19
of work that you do and all
the experience that you have you
00:20:28.22\00:20:30.43
know-how was it for you working
in this line of work, doing what
00:20:30.46\00:20:33.93
you do. You know what has
God done for you? What have you
00:20:33.96\00:20:36.36
learned and what is it
specifically that you do that
00:20:36.40\00:20:38.20
reaches people in this way?
00:20:38.23\00:20:42.40
Wow. Ah. The Lord has brought me
a long way in the word of faith
00:20:42.44\00:20:48.31
you know. We at Gideon, we step
out in faith. Not only do we
00:20:48.34\00:20:52.21
ask God do you
00:20:52.25\00:20:53.72
want us to even go to this
disaster. You know we rely on
00:20:53.75\00:20:57.92
Him for everything. If we
actually go, when we go, where
00:20:57.95\00:21:03.16
we go, who we need to be
with. He's definitely...because
00:21:03.19\00:21:08.20
sometimes we don't know where
we're going to stay, what we're
00:21:08.23\00:21:10.37
going to eat, what we're going
to, you know nothing. So we
00:21:10.40\00:21:14.40
definitely depend on God
and to me, I think that is huge
00:21:14.44\00:21:17.91
importance. He's taught me that
we actually provide the hope,
00:21:17.94\00:21:23.41
the hope that people need t o
hang on and...You know anybody
00:21:23.45\00:21:27.92
can do this. You don't need
a skill set. You don't need to
00:21:27.95\00:21:30.19
have certifications like most
of us have. Like Brock said you
00:21:30.22\00:21:34.22
just need to give water. You
need to pray with somebody. If
00:21:34.26\00:21:36.42
you can pray with somebody you
can do this. You know this is
00:21:36.46\00:21:39.33
just having a willing heart to
give love to somebody in time of
00:21:39.36\00:21:43.87
need. You know and we go out
with the dogs, we were able to
00:21:43.90\00:21:50.01
minister in Kentucky this last
time with the dogs, our first
00:21:50.04\00:21:53.58
time actually getting to use
the dogs. So God gave us this
00:21:53.61\00:21:57.15
opening wedge and I say we were
with some FEMA people and some
00:21:57.18\00:22:04.15
other handlers and they asked
well, who sent you? The state
00:22:04.19\00:22:08.12
sent me. Who sent
you? And I said, God.
00:22:08.16\00:22:11.86
I can imagine the
look on their faces.
00:22:11.89\00:22:14.53
Yeah, they kind of like just
brushed me off like oh okay but
00:22:14.56\00:22:17.87
I hope that stuck in their mind.
00:22:17.90\00:22:19.23
Of course, of course, praise the
Lord. You know you touched on
00:22:19.27\00:22:23.24
something there. Maybe Brock you
can elaborate on this. There's
00:22:23.27\00:22:27.74
probably someone watching right
now that says you know this is
00:22:27.78\00:22:29.88
awesome. I would love to do and
participate in something like
00:22:29.91\00:22:32.31
this so who can do what you do?
Who can participate in what you
00:22:32.35\00:22:36.42
guys do?
00:22:36.45\00:22:37.85
The harvest is great and
the laborers are few. That's my
00:22:37.89\00:22:40.29
answer. And you know it really
truly is as Meredith said is
00:22:40.32\00:22:45.13
that anybody can do what we do.
We're nobody unique, nobody's
00:22:45.16\00:22:49.13
special other than that God has
called us and put this burden on
00:22:49.16\00:22:51.87
our heart that there is
a harvest field in disaster
00:22:51.90\00:22:54.90
response that is untapped. And
when we say that the laborers
00:22:54.94\00:22:58.34
are few we literally mean
that. The laborers are few that
00:22:58.37\00:23:02.08
understand this concept,
you know the concept that time
00:23:02.11\00:23:04.55
is ticking, that time
00:23:04.58\00:23:05.91
is of the essence and we don't
have much time left as a planet
00:23:05.95\00:23:10.19
corporately that now is the time
to be moving and working and
00:23:10.22\00:23:14.72
laboring for God in reaching
souls for this time. And so if
00:23:14.76\00:23:17.99
you have a burden, if God puts
it on your heart and says be a
00:23:18.03\00:23:21.80
part in any way, training
is easy. You know not too long
00:23:21.83\00:23:24.40
before this Meredith and Wils
did not have any training in dog
00:23:24.43\00:23:29.17
handling. But God opened the
door opened the opportunity for
00:23:29.20\00:23:32.51
them to do it and now they are
full-fledged canine handlers.
00:23:32.54\00:23:35.24
Training is not difficult. What
is difficult is finding a heart
00:23:35.28\00:23:39.51
and mind that is surrendered,
willing to be moved by God and
00:23:39.55\00:23:43.18
used by God. So we don't
actually recruit you know in
00:23:43.22\00:23:46.65
our ministry we don't try to
find people. Our prayer is Lord
00:23:46.69\00:23:50.63
send us people. And so we allow
God to hand pick the team just
00:23:50.66\00:23:53.43
like he did for Gideon.
00:23:53.46\00:23:54.80
And the beautiful part of
it is that there's just so many
00:23:54.83\00:23:58.83
volunteers that come whatever
their gift and skill set is.
00:23:58.87\00:24:01.04
It's just their heart is to
volunteer and so even connected
00:24:01.07\00:24:03.54
with you. What are we doing?
Well, do you have a chainsaw?
00:24:03.57\00:24:06.61
You can cut down the tree.
If you can't cut down a tree you
00:24:06.64\00:24:08.34
can help clean up debris. If you
can't help clean up debris which
00:24:08.38\00:24:12.45
most people can or use a rake,
use your hands. Or talk to the
00:24:12.48\00:24:17.32
person on site. You can give
literature, you can pray, you
00:24:17.35\00:24:21.02
can be at PODs, the points
of distribution where all the
00:24:21.06\00:24:23.56
donations are coming in, where
survivors and victims' come and
00:24:23.59\00:24:26.49
get nonperishables...
00:24:26.53\00:24:29.86
I want to tell a story of how
we've seen time and time again
00:24:29.90\00:24:31.37
just like Dana's describing how
God has tailored the mission to
00:24:31.40\00:24:35.64
the responder, right? Corrie's
dad, his love language every
00:24:35.67\00:24:40.44
year was to give flashlights as
gifts to family, to friends and
00:24:40.48\00:24:45.68
that was what he did. He'd
find a really unique flashlight,
00:24:45.71\00:24:47.68
something really cool and
that was what he loved to do.
00:24:47.72\00:24:49.85
Bizarre, weird, but loved it.
That was...he found joy in it.
00:24:49.88\00:24:54.42
When they volunteered to come
on was that Fultondale, Alabama?
00:24:54.46\00:24:58.63
No that was
Cookeville, Tennessee.
00:24:58.66\00:25:00.46
Cookeville, Tennessee. They were
at a point of distribution and
00:25:00.50\00:25:05.83
his dad and his mom and his
father-in-law show up to come
00:25:05.87\00:25:09.84
and help. In the supplies that
they were to hand out were just
00:25:09.87\00:25:15.78
boxes of flashlights and
Corrie's dad got to pass out
00:25:15.81\00:25:21.28
flashlights.
00:25:21.32\00:25:22.65
Amen, amen, there's so much you
can do. Like oh my goodness give
00:25:22.68\00:25:26.55
me a box of flashlights and how
many object lessons I can use
00:25:26.59\00:25:30.36
for that. Here's you a light but
there's an even greater Light.
00:25:30.39\00:25:32.83
Jesus Christ (Multiple voices)
introduce you to. That's all
00:25:32.86\00:25:37.70
right. Praise the Lord. Folks,
a flashlight can open up a door
00:25:37.73\00:25:41.40
for you to witness to
someone of the gospel.
00:25:41.44\00:25:43.87
Praise the Lord. Praise God.
You know, post-disaster you're
00:25:43.91\00:25:48.18
showing up on the scene. You
might have actually touched on
00:25:48.21\00:25:51.08
this a little bit already, but
maybe you can elaborate on the
00:25:51.11\00:25:54.05
greatest need when you go into
a community or you go into a
00:25:54.08\00:25:57.02
place what are some of the
greatest needs that you see you
00:25:57.05\00:25:59.75
know in a situation like
that whatever the case may be,
00:25:59.79\00:26:01.86
tornado, hurricane, earthquake
fire whatever type of scenario
00:26:01.89\00:26:06.70
you walk into.
00:26:06.73\00:26:08.43
So as humans, we're well aware
of the hierarchy of needs. You
00:26:08.46\00:26:12.07
know, we need food, we need
water, we need shelter. These
00:26:12.10\00:26:13.94
are things that keep us stable
in life. But actually, there's a
00:26:13.97\00:26:17.71
greater need than just those
basic needs. Because you can
00:26:17.74\00:26:21.31
live I mean weeks without food,
you can go a few days without
00:26:21.34\00:26:25.78
water. You can even hold your
breath for a few minutes. The
00:26:25.81\00:26:29.02
moment you give up hope the
moment you're done. And we know
00:26:29.05\00:26:32.02
this. And so in any survival
situation that is the greatest
00:26:32.05\00:26:36.39
need that you have in a survival
moment is to hang onto hope.
00:26:36.42\00:26:39.73
And so it's no different.
Disaster's just on a larger
00:26:39.76\00:26:43.67
scale. Now an entire community
is faced with the question, in
00:26:43.70\00:26:47.47
what do they hope? And so we
have an opportunity to provide
00:26:47.50\00:26:50.84
them with hope. Like if God has
given us this hope, we have this
00:26:50.87\00:26:54.28
hope that burns within our
hearts, right? That Jesus is
00:26:54.31\00:26:57.95
coming soon then why would we
hold back in giving people the
00:26:57.98\00:27:01.38
greatest need that they have in
a community? And so honestly the
00:27:01.42\00:27:04.35
answer is very simple. The
greatest need that we have in
00:27:04.39\00:27:07.46
post disaster is hope.
00:27:07.49\00:27:09.89
And that...Honestly, I wasn't
expecting that answer for a
00:27:09.92\00:27:12.83
moment but it makes perfect
sense, it makes perfect sense.
00:27:12.86\00:27:14.93
In a situation like that people
losing homes, losing family
00:27:14.96\00:27:18.40
members, going through the most
horrific experiences a person
00:27:18.43\00:27:22.94
could possibly imagine.
It's so easy to lose hope.
00:27:22.97\00:27:25.64
It's so overwhelming. When you
show up in a disaster zone and
00:27:25.67\00:27:28.81
you are confronted with
what looks like Hiroshima and
00:27:28.84\00:27:31.38
Nagasaki, like where, do
you start? Where do you begin?
00:27:31.41\00:27:35.08
And then the questions come to
your mind...Physically what I am
00:27:35.12\00:27:39.72
doing is this really making a
difference? Right? And even if
00:27:39.75\00:27:42.56
you had an army you know
of tractors and people and all
00:27:42.59\00:27:46.66
these things, still it would
take you years to put these
00:27:46.70\00:27:49.40
communities back together again.
But here's the real issue is
00:27:49.43\00:27:52.17
that if you connect people with
Jesus then post disaster when
00:27:52.20\00:27:57.34
they're struggling through
the aftermath of the disaster,
00:27:57.37\00:28:00.34
they're in shell
shock immediately afterward.
00:28:00.38\00:28:01.91
But the many months and years
that it takes to try to put your
00:28:01.94\00:28:05.35
life back together who's going
to be there to hold them. We can
00:28:05.38\00:28:08.38
only be there for a couple of
weeks maybe. Maybe we can spend
00:28:08.42\00:28:11.39
some extra time if we keep
people in the field, right?
00:28:11.42\00:28:14.16
for months afterward to
try to work with people but at
00:28:14.19\00:28:16.56
the same time who is ultimately
going to be able to carry them
00:28:16.59\00:28:18.69
through that difficulty?
00:28:18.73\00:28:20.06
We watched that physically
happen in Belle Plaine when we
00:28:20.10\00:28:22.56
first got there. I mean,
one farmer, in particular, Dana
00:28:22.60\00:28:26.37
had a chance to work with, our
farmer at our school in Ardmore
00:28:26.40\00:28:29.97
he got a chance to work with
this guy one on one. I remember
00:28:30.01\00:28:35.21
Brock talking to this guy and he
was about catatonic. He was just
00:28:35.24\00:28:37.61
blown away by what had
transpired in a matter of hours
00:28:37.65\00:28:43.08
to his property, locked him in,
devastated his crop, he was just
00:28:43.12\00:28:49.26
and as we were speaking to
him something sparked in him
00:28:49.29\00:28:53.53
about a farmer, right? That
was the first spark, a little
00:28:53.56\00:28:58.33
synaptic fire and somehow our
farmer, God connected our farmer
00:28:58.37\00:29:00.90
with him and we told him we're
going to come back. We're going
00:29:00.94\00:29:04.91
come back. We're going to bring
fuel so you don't have to worry
00:29:04.94\00:29:08.04
about the electricity and the
pump. And it took a while for
00:29:08.08\00:29:10.68
that to dawn on him as we were
looking for containers to put
00:29:10.71\00:29:13.45
fuel in to bring back to him
and suddenly something snapped.
00:29:13.48\00:29:16.42
Because I was watching the whole
thing and his shoulders squared
00:29:16.45\00:29:20.32
up and he began to just kind of
come to and showed us a couple
00:29:20.36\00:29:25.59
of buckets. The next morning
he was waiting for us there at 9
00:29:25.63\00:29:29.30
a.m. And we brought not just
us but 27 students from Union
00:29:29.33\00:29:34.74
College, right? And at
that point there was a whole
00:29:34.77\00:29:38.24
different body language in him.
But then come the questions.
00:29:38.27\00:29:42.34
Why do you do this? Because
they were at the point of being
00:29:42.38\00:29:47.38
catatonic and it was the first
few moments of that interaction
00:29:47.42\00:29:51.52
to go hey we're here to help.
We're here to help. And then to
00:29:51.55\00:29:54.99
have an answer of we came here
because of the love of Jesus
00:29:55.02\00:29:58.26
Christ.
00:29:58.29\00:29:59.63
In fact, if we can maybe queue
the video for the Union College
00:29:59.66\00:30:03.70
students. I know we have some
pictures but if we can skip just
00:30:03.73\00:30:05.77
to the Union College students
to start, that would be a good
00:30:05.80\00:30:09.50
place to start in some of these
stories that we want to share.
00:30:09.54\00:30:11.81
So this is Union College. This
is actually at that farmer's
00:30:11.84\00:30:16.61
house. So you can imagine who's
lost everything all of a sudden
00:30:16.64\00:30:20.52
sees 30 young people show up in
his yard he's like who are you
00:30:20.55\00:30:24.22
guys and where are you from and
why do you care about me? And so
00:30:24.25\00:30:28.09
it's an incredible point to
say Brother, God cares for you,
00:30:28.12\00:30:32.13
right? He cares for you. This
is why we're here. And so that
00:30:32.16\00:30:35.03
paradigm shift when you see
people awaken to the possibility
00:30:35.06\00:30:37.53
that God cares for them and God
has not abandoned them, God has
00:30:37.57\00:30:41.04
not caused this disaster it's
absolutely incredible. And as we
00:30:41.07\00:30:46.34
we're moving through you
know Belle Plaine, Iowa there's
00:30:46.37\00:30:48.34
another picture here that
we have of a tree that is on a
00:30:48.38\00:30:50.98
house. And it was just
an incredible moment in time
00:30:51.01\00:30:56.38
where you see this incredible
massive tree. You can't even see
00:30:56.42\00:31:01.46
the house. And so Wils and
I had actually walked to this
00:31:01.49\00:31:04.49
gentleman's house and he was
completely handicapped, broken,
00:31:04.53\00:31:07.23
had actually tried to climb up
in his tree, fallen out of his
00:31:07.26\00:31:09.63
tree, broken a bunch of bones,
was in the hospital, had just
00:31:09.66\00:31:11.97
been released and here's where
we meet him in his brokenness.
00:31:12.00\00:31:13.77
And he says, please if you
can just get the tree off of my
00:31:13.80\00:31:16.40
house I would be eternally
grateful. And if you can't do
00:31:16.44\00:31:18.71
that, if you can just patch my
roof because it put a huge hole.
00:31:18.74\00:31:22.41
He said if you can just patch my
roof so when it rains it doesn't
00:31:22.44\00:31:24.28
rain on us, I'd be eternally
grateful. So this is our mission
00:31:24.31\00:31:26.85
We're like okay we're on it,
right. And when we climbed up
00:31:26.88\00:31:29.35
there we assessed it, we've
got some skill sets, how to cut
00:31:29.38\00:31:32.89
trees and use some ropes and
things, it was impossible, just
00:31:32.92\00:31:35.32
absolutely impossible...
00:31:35.36\00:31:36.69
There was a rope we had to
cut off. We couldn't top rope.
00:31:36.73\00:31:39.39
So here we end up patching
his roof, we could do that. And
00:31:39.43\00:31:43.03
we're sitting there at the
bottom of the house kind of in
00:31:43.06\00:31:45.10
this deflated moment...
00:31:45.13\00:31:46.47
While the tree is
still in the house?
00:31:46.50\00:31:48.80
The tree is still in the house.
00:31:48.84\00:31:50.47
You were able to patch
it off but it was still...
00:31:50.51\00:31:52.14
We cut the limb off. The tree's
still there, but we cut the limb
00:31:52.17\00:31:54.41
off and we patched the hole
underneath the tree over us.
00:31:54.44\00:31:58.81
And as we're standing there up
walks this gentleman and he just
00:31:58.85\00:32:02.38
says, Do you guys need a crane?
And it was like, well of course
00:32:02.42\00:32:07.96
we need a crane. And we have a
picture of the crane that shows
00:32:07.99\00:32:11.69
up. It's a million-dollar piece
of equipment, it was nothing
00:32:11.73\00:32:15.66
that we could have afforded
(multiple voices) and he
00:32:15.70\00:32:19.07
actually said, Okay I want to
dedicate this crane for the use
00:32:19.10\00:32:22.14
of the gospel for the next five
days. I'm going to work with
00:32:22.17\00:32:24.27
your team. Let's just go through
and let's smash trees off of
00:32:24.31\00:32:27.61
houses. And so now we had Union
College, we had the crane and
00:32:27.64\00:32:30.91
the kids, the students, when
they saw the miracles of God
00:32:30.95\00:32:33.75
right, and there's a lot on
the line. It's not just for the
00:32:33.78\00:32:36.89
community but for our young
people even our young people in
00:32:36.92\00:32:39.65
our own schools, they struggle
with faith. They struggle with
00:32:39.69\00:32:42.56
is God still the same God of
the Bible. When you see those
00:32:42.59\00:32:45.99
miracles, when you see Him
at work. So we had promised them
00:32:46.03\00:32:49.00
before we even had the crane,
we said, Listen guys just wait
00:32:49.03\00:32:51.90
around a minute. God's going to
show up in a big way. And then
00:32:51.93\00:32:54.80
we're off praying saying, Lord
you got to show up, right? So
00:32:54.84\00:32:58.37
then when you see this
crane they're floored. We have a
00:32:58.41\00:33:00.94
testimony of a young lady from
Union College and listen to what
00:33:00.98\00:33:04.28
she has to say. (Oh powerful,
Yeah) Listen to what she has
00:33:04.31\00:33:06.28
to say.
00:33:06.31\00:33:07.98
Tell me what has been one of
your highlights. I know driving
00:33:08.02\00:33:13.72
the crane is a high light but
tell me you highlight from this
00:33:13.76\00:33:17.79
trip that meant something to you
00:33:17.83\00:33:20.30
I think see how everybody (noise
interference) from especially
00:33:20.33\00:33:26.03
Gideon's like this...God's got
it Like it's not us, it's God.
00:33:26.07\00:33:36.24
And like people saw like the
first miracle and they were like
00:33:36.28\00:33:38.38
wait, what? And then they saw
the second and the third and the
00:33:38.41\00:33:42.22
fourth and the fifth...and just
thousands of things that have
00:33:42.25\00:33:45.35
happened that have been crazy.
And like it spread like that and
00:33:45.39\00:33:49.12
it multiplied so quickly because
that's contagious faith, like
00:33:49.16\00:33:51.93
that's what that was. Like you
guys brought something as we had
00:33:51.96\00:33:56.40
the spirit of like excitement
and service and like we just
00:33:56.43\00:34:00.30
latched onto that and I've seen
people because I work in campus
00:34:00.34\00:34:03.64
ministry at Union so I've like
talked to a lot. I work in core
00:34:03.67\00:34:07.88
groups, people connecting in
communities because that's where
00:34:07.91\00:34:10.91
you experience God you know.
So I've worked with a lot of
00:34:10.95\00:34:14.28
people and I know a lot of these
and like not all of them are
00:34:14.32\00:34:18.62
like super tight with God you
know. Not all of them like take
00:34:18.65\00:34:22.26
the time every day to spend,
spend time with Him. But I've
00:34:22.29\00:34:27.30
seen people like praying.
They're like dude let's pray
00:34:27.33\00:34:30.47
about this. Like people
that never ever been someone who
00:34:30.50\00:34:33.70
would have said that before.
I'm like just seeing how this
00:34:33.74\00:34:38.11
trip and the faith of the people
around them has strengthened
00:34:38.14\00:34:41.98
their faith. And now they can go
strengthen other people's faith.
00:34:42.01\00:34:44.18
And it just keep growing and
spreading. I think that's been
00:34:44.21\00:34:47.75
for sure the coolest thing.
00:34:47.78\00:34:51.19
Oh my goodness! I'm getting on
fire watching that video. That
00:34:51.22\00:34:56.39
young lady's just on fire for
the Lord. That's powerful to see
00:34:56.42\00:35:00.03
because you get young people
involved in something like this
00:35:00.06\00:35:02.73
and you see God show up and show
out and show them that I'm still
00:35:02.76\00:35:07.60
here. And now...I have a heart
for our young people because our
00:35:07.64\00:35:10.87
young people are drifting. It
seems like the devil's just got
00:35:10.91\00:35:13.31
so many distractions for them
all over the place but God is
00:35:13.34\00:35:16.85
using Gideon Rescue to reach
these young people and at first
00:35:16.88\00:35:21.58
I'm sure for them if probably
seems like, Oh it's a job right?
00:35:21.62\00:35:24.12
We got to go clean up this and
clean up that and go pick up the
00:35:24.15\00:35:27.16
sticks and go...But you know
in the process God is revealing
00:35:27.19\00:35:30.73
Himself to them. That is
just amazing. Praise the Lord!
00:35:30.76\00:35:34.03
Praise the Lord.
00:35:34.06\00:35:35.40
And you know in Iowa we quickly
realized. We had no idea why we
00:35:35.43\00:35:38.13
were in Iowa. The only reason
we actually at first had come to
00:35:38.17\00:35:40.74
Iowa is because my wife follows
the social media feed on a lady
00:35:40.77\00:35:44.81
that does a really
nice arrangement of her home
00:35:44.84\00:35:46.78
just kind of decoration stuff
and she had put out on her feed
00:35:46.81\00:35:52.41
that her town was devastated and
there was no help coming. That
00:35:52.45\00:35:54.12
was the only reason that we
should maybe show up in Belle
00:35:54.15\00:35:56.95
Plaine. There was no government
agency there. We were the only
00:35:56.99\00:36:02.09
response team that ended
upcoming into Belle Plaine
00:36:02.12\00:36:06.06
officially. And so here we are
with this community. It feels
00:36:06.09\00:36:08.30
like they've been forgotten by
the world. This was right in the
00:36:08.33\00:36:09.66
mid-term...I mean this was right
in the presidential election, so
00:36:09.70\00:36:13.50
all the news feeds have nothing
to do with what's happening in
00:36:13.54\00:36:15.60
Iowa and people feel really
forgotten. And so when we show
00:36:15.64\00:36:18.81
up here this town, it was
incredible because they actually
00:36:18.84\00:36:25.28
struggle with an epidemic of
suicide like what Dana pointed
00:36:25.31\00:36:27.12
out and incredibly heartbreaking
stories where you could see that
00:36:27.15\00:36:32.09
devil was just intent on
destroying people left and right
00:36:32.12\00:36:35.92
And we came across with
the students. In working in the
00:36:35.96\00:36:40.90
community we found this one
house in which this gentleman
00:36:40.93\00:36:43.26
had lost not one but two sons
to suicide and he was absolutely
00:36:43.30\00:36:49.64
devastated. And we gathered all
those Union College students and
00:36:49.67\00:36:52.37
those Union College students
sang It Is Well With My Soul on
00:36:52.41\00:36:56.51
his porch and this man and his
wife were in tears. They were
00:36:56.54\00:37:01.05
like who are you guys and why
are you here and why do you even
00:37:01.08\00:37:03.55
care. Why do you even know
that we've had this incredible
00:37:03.59\00:37:06.65
tragedy. And here God has placed
us in this moment for this
00:37:06.69\00:37:10.36
family for this reason. And
we have a video of his testimony
00:37:10.39\00:37:13.56
sharing his experience.
00:37:13.60\00:37:14.93
Yeah, my name is Scott Jance and
these wonderful people showed up
00:37:14.96\00:37:24.34
at my door to help with the
storm damage. They heard the
00:37:24.37\00:37:31.41
story of my wife Jane and
I losing our son July 30th to
00:37:31.45\00:37:34.85
suicide. That's our second son
in three years. And they just
00:37:34.88\00:37:43.29
come out of the woodwork from
all over to help us clean this
00:37:43.32\00:37:45.99
mess up and led us to try to
continue on with our lives and
00:37:46.03\00:37:52.50
grieve a little bit and we
haven't even had time to think
00:37:52.53\00:37:54.77
of it. I don't know what I'd
do without them because I know I
00:37:54.80\00:37:59.07
couldn't get this done myself.
My friends in town have helped
00:37:59.11\00:38:02.54
everybody has helped us. There's
a lot to be said for a small
00:38:02.58\00:38:06.51
community and this world's not
all bad for sure and it takes
00:38:06.55\00:38:13.49
everybody coming together to
make it better. This has helped
00:38:13.52\00:38:16.73
a ton and I appreciate
everything. Thank you very much.
00:38:16.76\00:38:19.59
Wow. That's amazing. In the
midst of horror he could still
00:38:19.63\00:38:25.33
say this world's
not all that bad.
00:38:25.37\00:38:29.00
Wow! That's hope.
00:38:29.04\00:38:30.37
Say what you just said to me.
00:38:30.41\00:38:31.74
That's hope. He's hanging onto
hope. The paradigm is shifting
00:38:31.77\00:38:34.88
for him. The darkest moment
where he needs God like never
00:38:34.91\00:38:39.11
before God shows up in a
personal way. He says Scott I
00:38:39.15\00:38:42.38
haven't forgotten about you.
Scott, I love you. Scott, I love
00:38:42.42\00:38:45.45
so much I've sent an entire team
to you to minister to you. Don't
00:38:45.49\00:38:49.92
give up hope. Don't give up hope
00:38:49.96\00:38:52.49
That's right. In the darkest
of times, I heard a quote. Can't
00:38:52.53\00:38:56.36
remember specifically where
it said but it's in the darkest
00:38:56.40\00:38:59.03
hours that God is there in
the darkness more than any other
00:38:59.07\00:39:03.77
place right at times that you
don't think He's there. And the
00:39:03.81\00:39:06.04
times it seems that God is
silent and He's not responding.
00:39:06.07\00:39:08.91
He's there. And this is proof
of it. Proof of it. Powerful.
00:39:08.94\00:39:13.45
It's almost a childlike game for
us because we are so giddy when
00:39:13.48\00:39:16.79
we see hope come back in that we
just want to experience it again
00:39:16.82\00:39:19.15
and again. So there's
a selfish aspect of it.
00:39:19.19\00:39:23.53
A little bit of a good addiction
a good addiction. Oh praise the
00:39:23.56\00:39:28.30
Lord.
00:39:28.33\00:39:29.66
I just wanted to comment on that
also on two fronts. Because for
00:39:29.70\00:39:33.03
me, growing in faith. Because
we who understand Bible prophecy
00:39:33.07\00:39:36.00
know that things are going to
continue to spiral in this world
00:39:36.04\00:39:39.24
And so even growing in boldness
and declaring that. We spoke
00:39:39.27\00:39:43.65
with one of the leaders of the
city and just sharing like you
00:39:43.68\00:39:48.12
know this storm was horrible.
But part of it is God's mercy to
00:39:48.15\00:39:52.45
waken you in this community
to let you know that He's coming
00:39:52.49\00:39:56.69
soon. And He wants you to
understand. He brought us to
00:39:56.73\00:40:01.70
share not only to help
now but to help you have an
00:40:01.73\00:40:03.47
understanding of these things to
come so that you can be prepared
00:40:03.50\00:40:07.34
for those things. You can
prepare your community and your
00:40:07.37\00:40:11.41
families for those things. And
it's like, great, I believe that
00:40:11.44\00:40:14.54
Tell me what I need to know.
And another thing just of being
00:40:14.58\00:40:19.11
in that community one of the
testimonies of a believer and
00:40:19.15\00:40:23.12
she said you know of the
team coming in and the college
00:40:23.15\00:40:26.25
students because she's like
it's been a long time since our
00:40:26.29\00:40:30.16
community felt that love.
We just felt love. And the
00:40:30.19\00:40:34.20
happiness and the joy that these
students came and they served
00:40:34.23\00:40:37.87
with us like it's been a long
time since we felt this love.
00:40:37.90\00:40:41.20
Praise God, praise God.
00:40:41.24\00:40:42.57
You know we see this in every
disaster that we've gone to
00:40:42.60\00:40:46.17
which are many and I know in
Lake Charles, we had a point of
00:40:46.21\00:40:50.58
distribution. We had people just
rolling up and when we started
00:40:50.61\00:40:56.28
to pray with them they would
literally, just break down. It's
00:40:56.32\00:40:58.95
like we said before people don't
know how much they needed that
00:40:58.99\00:41:03.06
prayer and how much they needed
to realize you know God loves
00:41:03.09\00:41:06.19
you. God's here for you. And
He's not left you. He will not
00:41:06.23\00:41:10.30
leave you or forsake you.
00:41:10.33\00:41:11.67
In fact, we have a picture of
some soldiers, this picture with
00:41:11.70\00:41:14.57
soldiers right because people
ask us a lot, they say well what
00:41:14.60\00:41:18.11
resources do you have,
and safety is a big concern.
00:41:18.14\00:41:20.24
If you ask the
00:41:20.28\00:41:21.61
question about risk people say
well you're going to dangerous
00:41:21.64\00:41:24.05
positions. Don't you know
that you need security with you?
00:41:24.08\00:41:25.58
And what's amazing is that when
we need security God provides it
00:41:25.61\00:41:30.42
(Multiple voices) And in this
picture you have these soldiers
00:41:30.45\00:41:32.89
who are armed to the teeth right
with their weapons. And was the
00:41:32.92\00:41:36.49
beautiful thing about that
picture is they actually laid
00:41:36.52\00:41:41.86
down their weapons and
they started praying with people
00:41:41.90\00:41:44.90
and handing out Glow tracts
and literature and they were in
00:41:44.93\00:41:48.24
tears, in tears, because the
hand of God was moving on their
00:41:48.27\00:41:51.84
hearts and they were being
ministered to. They said we came
00:41:51.87\00:41:55.54
here for mercenary contract
to protect some facility and it
00:41:55.58\00:41:58.38
fell through and now we are with
you guys and this is incredible.
00:41:58.41\00:42:01.42
So on all levels, God
is interested in reaching
00:42:01.45\00:42:04.02
hearts and minds. And so
wherever we've gone around the
00:42:04.05\00:42:06.55
world, even some of these other
pictures that we would show God
00:42:06.59\00:42:09.66
has been just moving, moving
because these disaster zones are
00:42:09.69\00:42:13.29
ripe for the
harvest. (Right of course).
00:42:13.33\00:42:15.33
I remember a story real quick.
It was in the south. I wasn't on
00:42:15.36\00:42:19.17
that trip but I remember hearing
that Brock was diligent to try
00:42:19.20\00:42:25.47
and help this home. And the
people were like no, no, no, we
00:42:25.51\00:42:28.64
don't need your help. But Brock
was persistent and he was able
00:42:28.68\00:42:31.21
to help. He was able to take
some trees off and I think it
00:42:31.25\00:42:34.08
was the next day when you guys
were in the same community and
00:42:34.12\00:42:37.09
this man, the husband, the
father of the home came out and
00:42:37.12\00:42:40.99
found you and he said I had a
dream last night and God told me
00:42:41.02\00:42:46.36
to stay connected with you
because you know him. (Wow!)
00:42:46.39\00:42:50.47
That's right. That's right.
00:42:50.50\00:42:52.07
That's amazing. You know people
hear stories like this and think
00:42:52.10\00:42:54.17
ah that's kind of far fetched
but this kind of stuff happens
00:42:54.20\00:42:56.17
all the time. The Holy Spirit is
at work and what these guys are
00:42:56.20\00:43:00.28
doing, the Gideon Rescue
Company is just powerful my
00:43:00.31\00:43:03.61
friends. And this is what
ministry is about. This is...
00:43:03.65\00:43:07.35
He just needs willing vessels
is all and here's the other side
00:43:07.38\00:43:11.72
that it doesn't just stop there
if you have been a victim or a
00:43:11.75\00:43:16.12
patient or someone who's been
hurt because when we were in
00:43:16.16\00:43:19.23
Mayfield just recently with the
dogs we're working with these
00:43:19.26\00:43:22.16
agencies and these agencies had
these nurses, these paramedics,
00:43:22.20\00:43:26.30
these policemen. Their distress
is evident for the people and
00:43:26.33\00:43:31.84
what's going on? And for us
to bring the dogs through and go
00:43:31.87\00:43:34.81
ahead and verify that there
are no remains in the area, that
00:43:34.84\00:43:38.31
there are no missing, that there
are no dead was a huge lift off
00:43:38.35\00:43:42.95
their shoulders. And then comes
the conversations with some of
00:43:42.98\00:43:45.85
the emergency room people
that were there. I've seen the
00:43:45.89\00:43:51.33
emergency room so full and them
having questions in their head
00:43:51.36\00:43:54.00
and then them turning to us and
asking who are you guys and why
00:43:54.03\00:43:57.47
do you do what you do?
We explain to them our whole
00:43:57.50\00:44:00.64
purpose is to minister
the gospel of Jesus Christ and
00:44:00.67\00:44:03.74
suddenly there's questions about
why these things are happening.
00:44:03.77\00:44:05.91
So it isn't just about the
victims. Also, our call is to
00:44:05.94\00:44:10.91
meet people where they're
at and give them hope too.
00:44:10.95\00:44:14.15
I have to respond to that point
Wils. You're exactly right that
00:44:14.18\00:44:18.05
it's not just about the victims
themselves but it's actually
00:44:18.09\00:44:21.12
about the responders and those
that are there. There's this
00:44:21.16\00:44:23.59
incredible story that comes to
us from Haiti. Our team was in
00:44:23.63\00:44:25.96
Haiti after the earthquake after
the earthquake this last year
00:44:25.99\00:44:28.00
and we have a video of a Black
Hawk helicopter. I just want to
00:44:28.03\00:44:32.40
show you some of the resources
that God pours out for the
00:44:32.43\00:44:33.84
success of the mission, right?
The governments of men are
00:44:33.87\00:44:38.24
subject to God when He deems it
for His will, right? And so this
00:44:38.27\00:44:42.58
story is incredible because we
actually got to ride...our team
00:44:42.61\00:44:46.31
was all placed on this
helicopter because of a
00:44:46.35\00:44:50.49
spiritual golden hour moment
that we had with Commander
00:44:50.52\00:44:51.85
Shepherd. And we walked into
the airport there in Haiti and
00:44:51.89\00:44:54.62
Commander Shepherd is sitting
there and he didn't even know
00:44:54.66\00:44:57.23
who we were or what we were
about. He just saw our team from
00:44:57.26\00:44:59.63
a distance and said Hey I
need to speak to you guys for a
00:44:59.66\00:45:01.96
moment. He pulled us aside
and he said listen will you guys
00:45:02.00\00:45:06.57
pray with me. He said I just
want to tell you that I've been
00:45:06.60\00:45:08.87
here for a long time with this
response already. He was already
00:45:08.90\00:45:12.57
there a week I think on the
ground and he said it's been
00:45:12.61\00:45:15.74
really intense and he said
I had a really close colleague
00:45:15.78\00:45:17.31
that had a medical emergency, he
had a stroke. He said we had to
00:45:17.35\00:45:20.52
Medivac him and send him back
to Florida. I just got news that
00:45:20.55\00:45:23.05
he died on the operating table.
He said will you pray with me.
00:45:23.08\00:45:26.76
And we said, Man of course. This
is why we're here, right? Like
00:45:26.79\00:45:31.69
we just surrounded him and we
prayed for him and we lifted him
00:45:31.73\00:45:34.00
up in prayer and he was so
encouraged by that, you know.
00:45:34.03\00:45:37.10
We gave him a Great Controversy
gave him a Steps to Christ, gave
00:45:37.13\00:45:39.30
some Glow tracts. And he was so
encouraged by that. He said okay
00:45:39.33\00:45:43.54
where do you guys need to
go. I've got this fleet of
00:45:43.57\00:45:46.57
helicopters out here. You guys
let me know where you need to go
00:45:46.61\00:45:49.21
and I will put you on one of
these helicopters and send you
00:45:49.24\00:45:53.48
into Haiti a first-class ride
directly into ground zero of
00:45:53.52\00:45:56.65
where the earthquake had taken
place courtesy of the U.S. Coast
00:45:56.69\00:45:59.65
Guard right there in Haiti. But
this is how God works in many
00:45:59.69\00:46:04.63
He's brought in how many multi
million-dollar machinery and
00:46:04.66\00:46:09.56
things that we would have
never...You know this is all God
00:46:09.60\00:46:13.03
You had no clue that you had
access to those things until God
00:46:13.07\00:46:17.01
was like, Oh by the way I
got you a pilot right here.
00:46:17.04\00:46:18.81
To be honest, we've stopped
trying to be specific with our
00:46:18.84\00:46:21.78
prayers because we don't
think big enough is our problem.
00:46:21.81\00:46:26.08
We limit God.
00:46:26.11\00:46:28.92
God if you could...If I could
you know. Here I've got it on
00:46:28.95\00:46:31.35
standby.
00:46:31.39\00:46:32.72
But why is God so intent on
giving us access in incredible
00:46:32.75\00:46:38.39
ways. It's because He cares
about people. Because the clock
00:46:38.43\00:46:41.66
is ticking. He knows that He
needs to move His people into
00:46:41.70\00:46:43.77
position into the place where
they need to be and immediately
00:46:43.80\00:46:47.67
for the purpose of reaching
hearts and minds with the gospel
00:46:47.70\00:46:49.04
Any other pictures we have from
Haiti? If we just move through a
00:46:49.07\00:46:53.98
picture of Jessica sitting in
the helicopter there after our
00:46:54.01\00:46:56.81
video. She's one of our team
members and also a search and
00:46:56.85\00:46:59.21
rescue canine handlers. Here she
is so you can see the proof is
00:46:59.25\00:47:03.69
in the pudding. And then as we
look forward from this picture
00:47:03.72\00:47:06.55
we were stationed in the
hospital. We were able to filter
00:47:06.59\00:47:08.52
water with a solar-powered water
machine. We were actually one
00:47:08.56\00:47:11.63
of the only responders that were
in that hospital helping to run
00:47:11.66\00:47:15.03
the entire emergency department
(Multiple voices) a hospital.
00:47:15.06\00:47:19.53
Yeah, a hospital. Corrie here
is treating wounds here. We're
00:47:19.57\00:47:22.24
treating them with hydrotherapy.
They had no antibiotics. We had
00:47:22.27\00:47:24.64
to use what we could with
hot and cold treatment. And then
00:47:24.67\00:47:27.81
this is a picture of a pastor.
He's actually a charismatic
00:47:27.84\00:47:32.05
pastor, like Assemblies of God
I think, And when we gave him
00:47:32.08\00:47:36.18
the Glow tracts in French he
said is this the word of God?
00:47:36.22\00:47:38.59
I said absolutely. And he said
Brother, he said, do you have
00:47:38.62\00:47:41.72
any more of this. And I said
yes He said I have five churches
00:47:41.76\00:47:43.36
in my district. He said will you
please give me everything you
00:47:43.39\00:47:45.76
have. And we loaded that guy up
on his motorcycle with all this
00:47:45.79\00:47:48.90
literature and he said God has
brought to Haiti here for me.
00:47:48.93\00:47:51.37
And so you can see like God's
hand moving through all of these
00:47:51.40\00:47:56.24
different disasters. And right
after Haiti God swept us out of
00:47:56.27\00:48:00.21
Haiti in a... There's a picture
I believe of an aircraft here.
00:48:00.24\00:48:03.04
It's a gentleman who is well-to-
do. He had his own Leer jet and
00:48:03.08\00:48:07.88
and he completely, for free,
picked up our team, flew us back
00:48:07.92\00:48:11.92
into Florida. And of course he
got a Great Controversy, he got
00:48:11.95\00:48:14.49
to hear some miracle stories.
He was impressed. And then from
00:48:14.52\00:48:17.33
there we were right onto
the next disaster because if you
00:48:17.36\00:48:19.53
remember the earthquake in Haiti
and then Hurricane Ida wreaked
00:48:19.56\00:48:23.83
havoc right in Louisiana right
after that. So we were whisked
00:48:25.23\00:48:27.20
away from our
00:48:27.24\00:48:28.57
Nascar pilot car. He was
very gracious. He just "so
00:48:28.60\00:48:31.61
happened" to be in Florida
00:48:31.64\00:48:32.97
he just "so happened" to be
there, okay, an hour or so from
00:48:34.14\00:48:36.64
where we inserted back into
the country from Haiti. And we
00:48:36.68\00:48:39.48
called him up and we said, Carl
where are you at, what are you
00:48:39.51\00:48:41.02
doing. And he said well I'm
actually in Florida. And I said
00:48:41.05\00:48:45.55
Oh, guess what, we are too.
I said Carl there's a hurricane
00:48:45.59\00:48:47.49
coming into Louisiana. Can you
get us there. And he said well
00:48:47.52\00:48:49.86
yeah, let me check the weather.
I'll pick you up. And so he
00:48:49.89\00:48:52.23
comes and picks us up in
his plane flies us directly into
00:48:52.26\00:48:56.03
Louisiana and, again, more
miracle stories than we have
00:48:56.06\00:48:58.43
time to relate here. But it was
God's precision in landing us in
00:48:58.47\00:49:03.27
the right place at the right
time for the communities that
00:49:03.30\00:49:05.77
needed to hear the gospel. And
we even have another video. The
00:49:05.81\00:49:08.94
second helicopter here picking
up our team, a double-bladed
00:49:08.98\00:49:14.42
Chinook helicopter. It's on my
bucket list. I actually didn't
00:49:14.45\00:49:16.65
personally get to ride in
this but we did put our forward
00:49:16.69\00:49:18.95
operating team in the back of
this helicopter. There's another
00:49:18.99\00:49:20.96
picture of them sitting in
the back getting ready to be
00:49:20.99\00:49:26.66
inserted into Grand Isle,
Louisiana which was a devastated
00:49:26.70\00:49:28.20
place. And these guys in
the military they were amazing.
00:49:28.23\00:49:32.13
When we walked up I had
an impression and I saw that
00:49:32.17\00:49:35.10
helicopter sitting on the ramp
and there was just this deep
00:49:35.14\00:49:37.94
impression like go over and talk
to these guys. I walked over
00:49:37.97\00:49:39.31
to them. The first thing out
of their mouth was, Hey you guys
00:49:39.34\00:49:43.88
our team that we're inserting
into Grand Isle? And I said well
00:49:43.91\00:49:45.31
we can be, you know, we're here,
right? And we actually weren't
00:49:45.35\00:49:51.02
the team that they were waiting
on but because of that first
00:49:51.05\00:49:53.79
initial interaction they were
like, hang on. We're going to
00:49:53.82\00:49:55.32
get you on the roster. Like you
give us some team members. We'll
00:49:55.36\00:49:57.79
put you on the helicopter and
they directly flew our team into
00:49:57.83\00:50:00.63
Grand Isle for the
purpose of the gospel.
00:50:00.66\00:50:02.86
That is
incredible. Wow. God is just...
00:50:02.90\00:50:05.73
I was on the road at that
point in time when all that was
00:50:05.77\00:50:09.10
happening. I was trying to
get the boat there as soon as I
00:50:09.14\00:50:11.34
could. Now mind you as Brock
is telling the story and we're
00:50:11.37\00:50:15.28
telling you this, what he was
describing was unfolding within
00:50:15.31\00:50:20.12
hours of itself, right? His
landing this Chinook this...
00:50:20.15\00:50:23.22
right just all for the sake of
willingness, right? You got to
00:50:23.25\00:50:27.22
able to stay in step with
God because He's ready to move.
00:50:27.26\00:50:29.79
It's amazing, absolutely.
Folks this is what the gospel...
00:50:29.82\00:50:35.73
what you're watching here is
what it's all about. We're put
00:50:35.76\00:50:37.83
on this planet to serve. We're
put on this planet to bring
00:50:37.87\00:50:41.10
glory to God and what better way
to do that than to do what you
00:50:41.14\00:50:44.41
guys are doing. This is
one aspect of ministry that's
00:50:44.44\00:50:46.68
reaching so many people. You
know as you guys were talking,
00:50:46.71\00:50:48.88
telling all these stories and we
could probably do another three
00:50:48.91\00:50:51.91
hours of just all the stories
you have and I love hearing them
00:50:51.95\00:50:54.82
They're such powerful stories
but the passage of Matthew 25
00:50:54.85\00:50:57.85
the latter verses of Matthew 25
is what came to my mind and I'm
00:50:57.89\00:51:00.76
not going to be able to have
time enough to read all those
00:51:00.79\00:51:03.29
verses but go read the latter
verses of Matthew 25 when Jesus
00:51:03.32\00:51:07.16
says you know what there will
be many of those days when we'll
00:51:07.20\00:51:09.20
say Lord when did we clothe you,
when did we give you food, when
00:51:09.23\00:51:11.73
did we give you drink, when did
we go visit you in prison. When
00:51:11.77\00:51:13.94
did we do all of these things?
And he said, Inasmuch as you've
00:51:13.97\00:51:17.07
done this to the least of these
you have done it for me. When
00:51:17.11\00:51:19.67
we reach out to other to serve
others, to be there for others
00:51:19.71\00:51:22.48
during times of need, we
are being a witness to them and
00:51:22.51\00:51:25.95
that's what Gideon Rescue Co. is
all about. I'm just so thrilled,
00:51:25.98\00:51:30.09
