As you're well aware,
00:00:01.66\00:00:03.00
we're living in
unprecedented times.
00:00:03.16\00:00:05.17
Join us now for
today's special program.
00:00:05.57\00:00:08.14
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.54\00:00:17.71
mending broken people.
00:00:18.21\00:00:22.85
I want to spend my life
00:00:23.25\00:00:28.36
removing pain.
00:00:29.16\00:00:33.56
Lord, let my words
00:00:34.16\00:00:39.10
heal a heart that hurts...
00:00:39.67\00:00:44.14
I want to spend my life
00:00:44.54\00:00:49.61
mending broken people...
00:00:50.25\00:00:54.38
I want to spend my life
00:00:55.28\00:01:00.19
mending broken people.
00:01:00.86\00:01:04.73
Hello. Welcome to 3ABN Today.
00:01:15.00\00:01:17.44
My name is John
Dinzey and it is a blessing
00:01:17.84\00:01:19.74
for me to be with you and
it's a blessing for me to be
00:01:19.94\00:01:21.81
with my wife Idalia as well
00:01:22.01\00:01:23.58
as we present a program
to you that we are praying
00:01:23.78\00:01:28.32
will be inspiring
00:01:28.52\00:01:30.25
and will encourage
you to do more for Jesus.
00:01:30.45\00:01:32.72
That's right.
Many times we wonder:
00:01:33.12\00:01:35.12
"What can I
possibly do for Jesus?
00:01:35.32\00:01:37.93
You know, I find myself
limited because of my ailments
00:01:38.13\00:01:41.76
or simply I'm sick and
I cannot leave my home. "
00:01:41.96\00:01:46.13
But there are ways
in the new century...
00:01:46.33\00:01:49.10
this century...
that we can join together
00:01:49.30\00:01:52.07
not only in prayer but
also different opportunities
00:01:52.27\00:01:55.84
that present themselves.
So please, don't let this
00:01:56.04\00:01:58.55
opportunity pass you by.
00:01:58.75\00:02:00.32
Be part of this
inspiring ministry
00:02:00.52\00:02:03.15
and you will reap the
blessings, you know, the rewards
00:02:03.35\00:02:07.26
in heaven for sure. Amen!
00:02:07.46\00:02:09.12
Well we have a special guest,
00:02:09.32\00:02:11.03
and he is the
director of GLOW tracts.
00:02:11.23\00:02:14.76
I'm sure you've heard
about it, and if you haven't
00:02:14.96\00:02:16.43
get ready for a blessing.
00:02:16.63\00:02:18.67
We have here Nelson
Ernst. Welcome back!
00:02:18.87\00:02:21.57
Hey, thank you...
it's a blessing to be here.
00:02:21.77\00:02:23.47
Thank you. Thank you for coming
00:02:24.24\00:02:25.57
and we know you have some won-
derful things to share with us.
00:02:25.61\00:02:28.64
And we know you'll be blessed
so we encourage you to pay
00:02:28.84\00:02:32.88
close attention. We're
going to hear some new ideas
00:02:33.08\00:02:37.39
that GLOW is working
with and also some stories.
00:02:37.59\00:02:41.32
I like stories, so I'm
hoping to hear some that I can
00:02:41.52\00:02:44.56
share with
others. Sure. Amen; amen.
00:02:44.76\00:02:46.80
Well, before we continue
00:02:47.20\00:02:48.86
we are going to the Lord
in prayer, and we want to
00:02:49.06\00:02:51.43
invite you to join us in prayer.
00:02:51.63\00:02:53.40
You know 3ABN is
a ministry of prayer
00:02:53.60\00:02:55.97
and we want to remind you that
there is a 3ABN prayer ministry
00:02:56.17\00:03:00.71
and you can be one
of our prayer partners.
00:03:00.91\00:03:03.14
And you can be part of
the many that are praying
00:03:03.35\00:03:07.88
for the prayer requests
that we mention during the day
00:03:08.08\00:03:10.69
or we put on the screen.
And we know many of you pray
00:03:10.89\00:03:14.29
without even joining
the prayer partner team.
00:03:14.49\00:03:17.59
But we encourage you to
join the prayer partner team
00:03:17.79\00:03:19.53
so that you can receive
prayer requests every week.
00:03:19.73\00:03:22.43
And we thank you so much
for praying. God is doing
00:03:22.63\00:03:25.20
great and wonderful things.
But now let us go to the Lord
00:03:25.40\00:03:28.30
in prayer. Our
loving heavenly Father,
00:03:28.50\00:03:31.61
we want to thank you for Your
great mercy. Thank you, Lord.
00:03:31.81\00:03:35.48
For Your kindness to us, Lord.
00:03:35.68\00:03:37.01
And we ask that You will be
with us during this program.
00:03:37.05\00:03:40.65
We pray that You
will bless Bro. Nelson
00:03:41.05\00:03:42.98
with Your Holy Spirit and
guide him in what to share.
00:03:43.18\00:03:45.92
We thank you, Lord, for
all those that are joining us
00:03:46.32\00:03:48.32
wherever they may be.
00:03:48.52\00:03:49.86
We thank you that
there is hope in Jesus
00:03:50.16\00:03:52.69
and we praise Your name
for the ministry of GLOW
00:03:52.89\00:03:57.33
that are sharing the gospel
practically all over the world.
00:03:57.73\00:04:01.24
And we pray, Lord, for
a blessing upon everyone
00:04:01.74\00:04:04.31
that is watching and listening.
00:04:04.47\00:04:05.94
We ask You, Lord, to
consider the prayer requests
00:04:06.34\00:04:08.88
that have come in to
3ABN during this day.
00:04:09.08\00:04:11.61
There are many needs
all around the world.
00:04:11.81\00:04:13.58
But You are the Almighty
God and no need is too great
00:04:13.98\00:04:17.95
and no need is too small.
00:04:18.15\00:04:20.49
So we pray that You will
do that which You know is best
00:04:20.69\00:04:23.63
for each one of
your children. Amen.
00:04:23.83\00:04:25.96
We ask You for these things
in the holy and blessed name
00:04:26.16\00:04:28.83
of Jesus. Amen... Amen.
00:04:29.03\00:04:32.03
Well, we go now to
Matthew chapter 24 and verse 14
00:04:32.43\00:04:36.94
and I'm asking my wife
Idalia to read that for us.
00:04:37.34\00:04:39.84
Yes. It is a
text that we all know
00:04:40.04\00:04:42.84
and many many have memorized it.
00:04:43.04\00:04:45.75
But we would like to read
it straight from Scripture.
00:04:45.95\00:04:48.55
Matthew 24
verse 14. And it says:
00:04:48.75\00:04:52.55
"And this gospel of the kingdom
00:04:52.75\00:04:54.69
shall be
preached in all the world
00:04:54.89\00:04:57.29
for a witness unto all nations
00:04:57.49\00:04:59.79
and then shall the end come. "
00:05:00.00\00:05:02.73
Amen and amen.
00:05:02.93\00:05:04.27
What is that end that
it's referring to, Dinzey?
00:05:04.37\00:05:07.24
Oh, man! This is
the end of the suffering
00:05:07.64\00:05:11.31
let's say... the end of
suffering in this world.
00:05:11.51\00:05:14.41
And we are just
praising the Lord that
00:05:14.61\00:05:17.51
GLOW identifies
with this Scripture.
00:05:17.71\00:05:21.02
Tell us what
thoughts come into your mind
00:05:21.22\00:05:22.92
as we read today Matthew 24:14.
00:05:23.12\00:05:25.75
Absolutely. It's
a powerful verse.
00:05:26.25\00:05:28.32
You know, when I
think about Matthew 24:14
00:05:28.52\00:05:30.66
and the gospel
going out to all the world
00:05:30.86\00:05:32.36
I also think of
another depiction of that
00:05:32.56\00:05:35.26
in Revelation chapter 18
00:05:35.46\00:05:36.93
where you have a
symbolic picture of an angel
00:05:37.13\00:05:40.70
coming down with great power
and he's illuminating the world
00:05:40.90\00:05:44.54
with his glory. And there
you see basically a picture of
00:05:44.74\00:05:48.48
the gospel
going out to the world
00:05:48.68\00:05:50.35
and it's represented as a mes-
sage that's a message of light.
00:05:50.55\00:05:54.65
And we know from
Scripture that light is a symbol
00:05:55.15\00:05:57.69
of God's character.
So before the end comes
00:05:57.89\00:06:00.82
everybody in the world is
going to hear this message
00:06:01.02\00:06:02.76
of God and His real
character. Because I mean
00:06:02.96\00:06:06.39
that's really what it's
all about, isn't it? Amen!
00:06:06.59\00:06:07.93
Is a battle over
whether we see God's character
00:06:08.06\00:06:10.23
in the right light or if we
have a misunderstanding of it.
00:06:10.43\00:06:12.63
Um-hmm. Thank you so much.
00:06:12.83\00:06:14.90
We could talk
all-day about Matthew 24:14
00:06:15.10\00:06:18.01
and what it means to
each and every one of us.
00:06:18.21\00:06:20.08
It's good news
because the Bible says
00:06:20.28\00:06:22.98
that this will go to
every nation in the world. Amen!
00:06:23.18\00:06:27.12
And you know God
loves the whole world.
00:06:27.32\00:06:28.68
And that's the reason He
gave His only begotten Son
00:06:28.88\00:06:31.29
that whoever believes
in Him WILL NOT perish
00:06:31.49\00:06:34.86
but have everlasting life.
Um-hmm. And I praise the Lord
00:06:35.06\00:06:37.89
that today
those of you listening
00:06:38.09\00:06:40.86
can have the opportunity
to be a member of God's family
00:06:41.06\00:06:44.83
and be a recipient of eternal
life through Jesus Christ.
00:06:45.03\00:06:49.20
That's right, and God's
Word is a lamp unto our feet.
00:06:49.70\00:06:52.87
Amen. And a light unto our path.
00:06:53.07\00:06:54.74
Well we have some music
that we want to share with you
00:06:54.94\00:06:57.51
to get your mind ready for the
good news you're about to hear.
00:06:57.71\00:07:00.92
What do we have today, honey?
00:07:01.12\00:07:02.45
Oh, we have Kendol
Bacchus, and he is a pianist.
00:07:02.65\00:07:06.29
And he has been blessed with his
gift in the passion of sharing
00:07:06.49\00:07:11.16
Christ's love
through his music ministry.
00:07:11.59\00:07:14.40
This interpretation is entitled
00:07:14.60\00:07:17.07
Far and Near the
Fields are Teeming.
00:07:17.27\00:07:20.50
Amen! Thank you, Kendol Bacchus.
00:11:58.81\00:12:00.75
He came to record that for
us. A beautiful, beautiful hymn.
00:12:00.95\00:12:03.79
Actually, you know when
you hear an instrumental
00:12:03.99\00:12:06.79
I'm trying to
remember the words.
00:12:06.99\00:12:08.42
And I looked up the words here
and I'm going to just read the
00:12:08.62\00:12:11.13
first stanza in the hymn book
00:12:11.33\00:12:12.83
because some of you may
have been doing the same as me:
00:12:13.03\00:12:15.96
trying to
remember the words. Um-hmm.
00:12:16.16\00:12:18.03
And it says: Far and
near the fields are teeming
00:12:18.23\00:12:21.50
with the sheaves
of ripened grain.
00:12:21.70\00:12:23.97
Far and near
their gold is gleaming
00:12:24.17\00:12:26.68
o'er the sunny slope and plain.
00:12:26.88\00:12:29.38
Lord of harvest,
send forth reapers!
00:12:29.78\00:12:32.58
Hear us, Lord, to Thee we cry:
00:12:32.78\00:12:35.35
send them now the
sheaves to gather,
00:12:35.55\00:12:38.19
ere the harvest time pass by.
00:12:38.39\00:12:41.29
Beautiful beautiful chorus.
00:12:41.49\00:12:43.36
And I think I'll just read
verse two as well. It says:
00:12:43.56\00:12:45.86
Send them forth with
morn's first beaming,
00:12:46.26\00:12:48.93
send them in the
noontide's glare.
00:12:49.13\00:12:51.80
When the sun's
last rays are streaming
00:12:52.00\00:12:54.54
bid them gather everywhere.
00:12:54.74\00:12:57.11
Praise the Lord!
Beautiful hymn; beautiful hymn.
00:12:57.31\00:12:59.81
I love that hymn! Well
Kendol Bacchus: we thank you.
00:13:00.01\00:13:01.54
Yes... yes. If you
would like to invite him
00:13:01.74\00:13:05.61
to your
community, to your church,
00:13:05.81\00:13:07.42
please contact us here at 3ABN
00:13:07.62\00:13:10.09
and we'd be happy to
share his contact information.
00:13:10.29\00:13:13.29
He is also available
through social media.
00:13:13.49\00:13:16.39
Kendol Bacchus...
Kendol Bacchus. Um-hmm.
00:13:16.59\00:13:20.66
Well, we are
here with Nelson Ernst
00:13:20.86\00:13:23.73
if you just tuned in, and
he is the director of GLOW.
00:13:23.93\00:13:28.44
Now what is GLOW and
why is the name GLOW?
00:13:28.64\00:13:31.97
That's a good question!
00:13:33.04\00:13:34.38
Well basically GLOW
is just a simple idea.
00:13:35.11\00:13:38.35
We're with this ministry
encouraging church members
00:13:38.55\00:13:41.32
to carry gospel literature
with them wherever they go -
00:13:41.52\00:13:44.22
um-hmm - because we
believe from reading the Bible
00:13:44.42\00:13:48.16
that the harvest is ripe.
00:13:48.36\00:13:50.66
And every day as we're
going about our activities
00:13:50.86\00:13:53.60
there are golden opportunities
to reach out to people.
00:13:53.80\00:13:56.60
And a lot of us
might have a hard time
00:13:57.00\00:13:59.67
feeling comfortable witnessing.
00:13:59.87\00:14:02.10
We might not know the
right words to say to somebody
00:14:02.30\00:14:04.17
if we feel
impressed to witness to them.
00:14:04.44\00:14:08.24
But if we're
carrying literature with us
00:14:08.44\00:14:09.98
the literature can do
the witnessing for us.
00:14:10.18\00:14:12.31
It's great. Amen! So that's
kind of the basic concept.
00:14:12.51\00:14:15.15
We're just encouraging people
to carry literature with them
00:14:15.35\00:14:16.82
wherever they go,
and we're developing
00:14:17.02\00:14:20.22
and adding on
to that basic idea.
00:14:20.42\00:14:22.02
Praise the Lord... Amen!
00:14:22.22\00:14:23.86
So it began when?
And how many GLOW tracts
00:14:24.79\00:14:29.73
have circulated the world? Yeah!
00:14:29.93\00:14:31.27
Um... so we started
the ministry back in 2007
00:14:31.47\00:14:35.37
and really it just kind of
sprang out of reading a book
00:14:36.44\00:14:41.04
by Ellen White called
Publishing Ministry. Um-hmm.
00:14:41.24\00:14:43.35
And God also brought some
other circumstances together
00:14:43.75\00:14:46.08
so that we had some
incredible miracles happen
00:14:46.28\00:14:48.25
and we had some
funding to get it going.
00:14:48.45\00:14:50.09
That's a whole
story in itself. Yes!
00:14:50.29\00:14:51.75
But, yeah, so since then - 2007-
00:14:51.95\00:14:56.42
there have been church members
that have been passing out
00:14:56.62\00:14:58.06
the literature literally in
a lot of different countries.
00:14:58.26\00:15:00.93
And we've printed a
little over 130 million tracts.
00:15:01.13\00:15:05.07
Amen! Yeah,
which sounds incredible
00:15:05.27\00:15:07.64
but I mean there's
so much more to do.
00:15:07.84\00:15:10.11
That's right. I mean, it's
really a drop in the bucket
00:15:10.31\00:15:11.74
compared to the amount of
people that we need to reach.
00:15:11.94\00:15:13.58
But, yeah... so that's
kind of where we're at.
00:15:14.08\00:15:17.55
I'm going to say those are only
the tracts that we know about
00:15:18.05\00:15:21.62
because there are countries that
are sometimes taking our tracts
00:15:21.82\00:15:25.25
and printing them but they
just don't tell us about it.
00:15:25.45\00:15:27.62
Right. So... yes.
Well, I can tell you
00:15:27.82\00:15:31.13
I know of a
place. Oh really? OK.
00:15:31.33\00:15:34.50
I know of a place
where I've seen them. OK.
00:15:34.70\00:15:36.77
And I said: "Well look at that!
00:15:36.97\00:15:39.17
I didn't know
GLOW was here. " Yes.
00:15:39.37\00:15:41.04
I know of a place. Yeah,
well you need to report that
00:15:41.24\00:15:43.54
country to us... we'll contact
them and get the numbers.
00:15:43.74\00:15:46.04
Getting the count. Well,
every ministry has their goals
00:15:47.31\00:15:51.31
and their desires
and their dream. What is
00:15:51.51\00:15:54.05
your motto and what is it
that you want to accomplish
00:15:54.25\00:15:57.19
as a ministry? We have
mentioned tracts and all
00:15:57.39\00:16:00.96
and people may be
like: "Oh, another tract? "
00:16:01.12\00:16:03.63
Well, this is NOT another
tract. Please... Sure... sure.
00:16:03.83\00:16:07.63
Well, that's a good point.
You know, there's a lot of
00:16:07.83\00:16:10.37
materials that
are available for us
00:16:10.57\00:16:12.40
especially in the Adventist
church for witnessing. Yes.
00:16:12.60\00:16:15.60
And I like to say that
00:16:15.80\00:16:18.07
GLOW is not so much about the
kind of literature that you use
00:16:18.27\00:16:22.31
or that we provide as
much as it is the concept.
00:16:22.51\00:16:25.21
Again, our primary emphasis
is just encouraging church
00:16:25.41\00:16:29.08
members to get active
with passing out literature.
00:16:29.28\00:16:31.89
And what is it
that encourages them?
00:16:32.69\00:16:34.86
It's sharing stories.
So when we hear people who
00:16:35.06\00:16:37.79
have had a divine appointment
sharing literature - yes -
00:16:37.99\00:16:40.06
we do whatever we can to
disseminate those stories
00:16:40.26\00:16:42.20
because that encourages
church members to do more.
00:16:42.40\00:16:44.23
Now in terms of
the tracts themselves
00:16:44.43\00:16:46.23
we still want to try and -
you know - as a ministry create
00:16:46.43\00:16:49.47
the highest quality possible
literature at the cheapest price
00:16:49.67\00:16:53.81
so that church
members can give it out
00:16:54.01\00:16:56.61
and have something that looks
modern - right - and attractive.
00:16:56.81\00:16:59.38
Is going to represent the
Bible in a truthful manner
00:16:59.58\00:17:03.32
and also have a
strong appeal at the end
00:17:03.52\00:17:06.32
so that people can
take one step forward
00:17:06.52\00:17:08.56
in making their
decision for Christ. Um-hmm.
00:17:08.76\00:17:11.83
So we do strive to do that.
00:17:12.03\00:17:14.03
When we make our tracts
we even have a process where
00:17:14.23\00:17:16.83
we vet it through
principles of Spirit of Prophecy
00:17:17.03\00:17:20.77
that we've
gleaned from a book called
00:17:20.97\00:17:23.34
Counsels to
Writers and Editors. Yes.
00:17:23.54\00:17:25.24
So there's a lot
of good information
00:17:25.77\00:17:28.54
in Ellen White's writings
that have really been blessings
00:17:28.74\00:17:30.18
to our
ministry. Praise the Lord!
00:17:30.38\00:17:31.71
I know that... Oh, go
ahead. Well I know that
00:17:31.75\00:17:34.68
you have a lot of
GLOW tracts available.
00:17:34.88\00:17:37.39
But what are the
topics? For example,
00:17:39.25\00:17:43.39
I know you couldn't cover it
all in one minute here - sure -
00:17:43.59\00:17:46.90
but give us an idea.
I mean, what does it...
00:17:47.10\00:17:49.86
what do you share in
it? Is it church doctrines
00:17:50.07\00:17:52.07
or what kind of lifestyle?
And stuff like that. Sure.
00:17:52.27\00:17:54.97
So just to answer that quickly:
00:17:55.47\00:17:57.41
we have basically three
different categories of tracts.
00:17:57.61\00:17:59.77
OK. About 20% of our tracts
00:17:59.97\00:18:01.94
are devoted to topics
that are health-related. Good!
00:18:02.14\00:18:04.85
Another 20% are devoted
to topics which are more just
00:18:05.05\00:18:08.28
generic Christian topics
like prayer and salvation.
00:18:08.48\00:18:12.25
And then the remaining 60%
00:18:12.45\00:18:14.89
are devoted toward topics
that are - how can I say it?
00:18:15.09\00:18:19.66
maybe more doctrinal.
Ones that would give people
00:18:19.96\00:18:22.20
a tidbit of truth that
they might not have ever heard
00:18:22.40\00:18:26.00
before like the Sabbath
or what happens after you die
00:18:26.20\00:18:29.27
or Bible prophecy. We
really want to have that
00:18:29.47\00:18:31.91
be the primary
emphasis of what we do.
00:18:32.11\00:18:34.28
We have also children's tracts:
tracts for kids to give to kids
00:18:34.48\00:18:37.65
so they can understand
it. Oh, that's wonderful!
00:18:37.85\00:18:39.28
And we have tracts
that are waterproof.
00:18:39.48\00:18:41.72
I didn't know
that! Yeah... yeah.
00:18:42.12\00:18:44.02
On vacation! We can
share it on cruises! Exactly.
00:18:44.22\00:18:47.19
I'm actually waiting for the
day when somebody will call in
00:18:47.39\00:18:50.93
and tell me a testimony
about how they were snorkeling
00:18:51.09\00:18:53.60
or scuba diving and
some person gave them a tract
00:18:53.80\00:18:56.03
underwater. That's
what I'm waiting for.
00:18:56.23\00:18:58.30
That is amazing! That
will be the ultimate story.
00:18:58.50\00:19:00.24
Awesome! I know
from having seen them
00:19:01.17\00:19:04.84
that you have
them in Spanish. Right.
00:19:05.04\00:19:06.68
Are there any other languages?
00:19:06.88\00:19:08.21
Yeah, we have them in about
75, 78 different languages.
00:19:08.61\00:19:13.55
Wow! We have about
50 different titles.
00:19:13.75\00:19:16.95
I mean, obviously, not
every title is translated
00:19:17.15\00:19:19.62
into every language but yeah,
so we have a lot of different
00:19:19.82\00:19:24.33
translations. Excellent!
Well I understand there's a new
00:19:24.53\00:19:27.90
emphasis now for GLOW? Yes.
00:19:28.10\00:19:29.96
Tell us about that. Yes.
00:19:30.17\00:19:31.53
So building on the foundation
00:19:31.93\00:19:34.37
of encouraging everybody to
just carry literature with them
00:19:34.57\00:19:37.21
wherever they go
in their daily life
00:19:37.41\00:19:39.01
to make their
everyday life a mission trip
00:19:39.21\00:19:42.34
we are now beginning
to organize international
00:19:43.21\00:19:46.31
mission trips. And I'm
really excited about this.
00:19:46.51\00:19:50.32
These aren't just
any mission trips.
00:19:50.72\00:19:52.12
These are mission trips...
I kind of like to call them
00:19:52.32\00:19:54.46
superlative mission trips...
00:19:54.66\00:19:55.99
So whenever we have a mission
trip we're going to do something
00:19:56.06\00:19:59.63
that is superlative... or
it's going to be extreme maybe.
00:19:59.83\00:20:04.40
For example: there
might be a place in the world
00:20:05.03\00:20:07.44
where there's almost
no church membership.
00:20:07.64\00:20:10.11
Oh yes! That's a place that we
want to go with a mission trip.
00:20:10.31\00:20:12.41
OK. There might be a
place which is extremely remote
00:20:12.61\00:20:15.04
like the southern or
northern tip of the world
00:20:15.44\00:20:17.68
in terms of
where inhabitants are.
00:20:17.88\00:20:20.05
That would be a
superlative location to go to.
00:20:20.25\00:20:22.95
Or we'll have a mission
trip where our emphasis is
00:20:23.85\00:20:27.66
trying to get out the
most amount of literature
00:20:27.86\00:20:30.06
absolutely possible. And so
we organize our mission trips
00:20:30.26\00:20:34.23
around these superlatives
00:20:34.43\00:20:35.76
because of several different
reasons. But one reason
00:20:35.86\00:20:39.13
is because we
want to have believers.
00:20:39.33\00:20:43.04
When they go on a mission trip
00:20:43.24\00:20:44.57
go and do something that
they feel is just going to be
00:20:44.74\00:20:48.64
big. Something
that is a story that
00:20:48.84\00:20:51.61
they're going to tell
their grandchildren, you know,
00:20:51.81\00:20:53.15
years later. Amen! Amen!
00:20:53.35\00:20:56.25
Get that video you know and
show us what you've been up to.
00:20:56.45\00:21:01.66
Right? Yeah... yeah.
00:21:01.86\00:21:04.13
Well I really
think that getting out
00:21:04.53\00:21:07.56
and spreading the
gospel through literature
00:21:07.76\00:21:09.90
in mission trips is
very important for us to do.
00:21:10.10\00:21:13.70
Even with COVID - yes
- God is opening up doors
00:21:14.67\00:21:17.17
and we're able to get
literature out in places
00:21:17.37\00:21:20.74
which you know you have to
bend over a little bit backwards
00:21:20.94\00:21:23.21
to make it work but
God is still blessing
00:21:23.41\00:21:26.15
and we're moving
forward with that.
00:21:26.35\00:21:27.88
So what mission trips
are you currently planning?
00:21:28.08\00:21:31.99
What are the plans on that?
00:21:32.19\00:21:33.52
Yeah, we do have mission
trips that we already have
00:21:33.66\00:21:36.29
on the schedule, and actually
00:21:36.49\00:21:39.29
probably the best
way to answer that is
00:21:39.49\00:21:41.20
to say that people should
if they want to learn about
00:21:41.40\00:21:43.53
these mission trips go visit our
website: GlowMissionTrips.org
00:21:43.73\00:21:46.23
And when they go there
they can just keep up to date
00:21:46.63\00:21:49.10
on the different mission trips
that we're going to be having.
00:21:49.30\00:21:50.91
Learn the information;
even register online.
00:21:51.11\00:21:53.24
Just to get a brief answer
00:21:53.44\00:21:54.98
the one that we have
coming up that's the closest
00:21:55.38\00:21:57.98
is in Argentina.
We're going to go there
00:21:58.18\00:22:00.25
and pass out one
mission GLOW tracts in Spanish.
00:22:00.45\00:22:02.65
One million? Yeah!
00:22:02.85\00:22:04.45
Praise the Lord! Yeah.
So not only are these tracts
00:22:04.65\00:22:06.76
going to be teaching
people about the Bible
00:22:06.96\00:22:08.29
but they're also going to be
inviting people to twenty-eight
00:22:08.49\00:22:10.79
simultaneous
evangelistic meetings
00:22:10.99\00:22:12.63
because we're doing this in
conjunction with the Southern
00:22:12.83\00:22:15.13
Argentinian Conference.
00:22:15.33\00:22:16.67
And... yeah... it's
just going to be exciting.
00:22:16.77\00:22:18.67
That is exciting.
Is there an age limit
00:22:18.87\00:22:21.37
as to who can participate
in these mission trips?
00:22:21.57\00:22:25.47
Yes and no. We
prefer to have people who
00:22:25.67\00:22:28.21
are 18 or above. It just
makes it a little bit easier
00:22:28.41\00:22:31.55
unless they are able to
come with their parent. Yes.
00:22:31.75\00:22:33.38
You know, in case there's
an emergency or something.
00:22:33.58\00:22:35.05
We understand. Yes, yes.
00:22:35.25\00:22:36.85
And then on the other side
they just need to be fit enough
00:22:37.05\00:22:40.52
to walk for 6 or so hours
per day giving out literature.
00:22:40.72\00:22:45.26
So... you know.
00:22:45.46\00:22:47.06
Amen. So we have Argentina.
Are there other places
00:22:47.26\00:22:50.27
that are... In the
works? In the works.
00:22:50.47\00:22:53.37
Absolutely. Yeah, so there's
that one and then in 2023
00:22:53.57\00:22:58.01
we're going to have
another mission trip to Bolivia.
00:22:58.21\00:23:00.94
And Bolivia's going to
be really exciting because
00:23:01.14\00:23:03.61
we're going to go with a group
of people and we're going to
00:23:03.81\00:23:06.28
visit a bunch of
unreached villages
00:23:06.48\00:23:09.15
that have no
believers living in them.
00:23:09.35\00:23:11.62
And then on the very
last day of that mission trip
00:23:11.82\00:23:14.09
we're going to get all the
church members in the Bolivian
00:23:14.29\00:23:16.19
Union to distribute literature
and we're going to attempt
00:23:16.39\00:23:18.53
to pass out 3
million tracts in one day.
00:23:18.73\00:23:20.53
In one day? In one
day. Praise the Lord!
00:23:20.73\00:23:22.96
So we're crunching the numbers
with the union down there
00:23:23.16\00:23:24.70
right now and we
think we can pull it off.
00:23:24.90\00:23:26.23
Praise the Lord! Excellent!
00:23:26.43\00:23:28.14
I like those ambitious
plans to get the gospel out.
00:23:28.34\00:23:31.94
Actually, that's not
even the most ambitious one.
00:23:32.14\00:23:34.11
So I'll tell you
about the last one.
00:23:34.31\00:23:36.21
So when I get home tomorrow
actually, I have a call with...
00:23:36.41\00:23:40.22
with some church
leaders in the Philippines.
00:23:41.68\00:23:44.72
And in probably 2024 or 2025
00:23:44.92\00:23:48.22
we're going to do a mission
trip where we're going to go
00:23:48.42\00:23:50.73
to the Philippines and we're
going to attempt to pass out
00:23:50.93\00:23:53.23
between 10 to 20 million tracts
throughout the Philippines.
00:23:53.43\00:23:56.83
And we're hoping to make that
the biggest literature outreach
00:23:57.03\00:24:00.90
that has been done -
Amen! maybe even in the church.
00:24:01.10\00:24:04.57
Ten million! This is really
exciting to get the locals
00:24:04.77\00:24:07.71
you know active, and
as a family, you can go.
00:24:07.91\00:24:12.01
As clubs... the church.
00:24:12.21\00:24:14.65
Because the SDA
church has Pathfinders Club,
00:24:14.85\00:24:17.45
Medical Cadets, and
all. And they can all go
00:24:17.65\00:24:19.89
and it's
exciting as you join in.
00:24:20.09\00:24:22.32
And I'm sure the youth
from one church will say:
00:24:22.52\00:24:25.53
"We're going to
outdo the other! "
00:24:25.73\00:24:27.66
You know, there's some
excitement. You have to
00:24:27.86\00:24:30.97
remember that the young
people, we thrive on that. Yeah.
00:24:31.43\00:24:35.70
We like to work together. Yeah.
00:24:35.90\00:24:37.24
I'll also add on to that:
everybody who comes on these
00:24:37.41\00:24:40.64
mission trips... we're going to
take the missionaries that come
00:24:40.84\00:24:43.04
with us and we're going
to teach them how they can
00:24:43.24\00:24:45.71
create their own mini-mission
trips when they come back home.
00:24:45.91\00:24:48.55
Excellent. So for example:
if somebody today listening
00:24:48.75\00:24:50.85
to this wants to do their
own literature mission trip
00:24:51.05\00:24:54.16
they can go to our
website GlowMissionTrips.org
00:24:54.36\00:24:57.03
and they can click on
the menu item that says Trip
00:24:57.23\00:24:59.59
and then the sub
menu says Create your own
00:24:59.79\00:25:01.93
and we have an entire
article there that explains
00:25:02.13\00:25:04.23
step by step how
to plan and execute
00:25:04.43\00:25:07.10
your own GLOW mission trip
00:25:07.30\00:25:09.97
in your own
context in your community.
00:25:10.17\00:25:11.87
That's wonderful!
This is wonderful.
00:25:12.07\00:25:13.94
Wow! Hey, I'm encouraging
everybody that's listening
00:25:14.14\00:25:16.88
go to the website.
First pray... first pray
00:25:17.08\00:25:21.18
and say: "Lord, what
do You want us to do? "
00:25:21.38\00:25:23.02
But you have a wonderful oppor-
tunity to get the gospel out
00:25:23.22\00:25:26.65
in your community. Plan one!
00:25:26.86\00:25:28.89
Get people
involved... get people moving.
00:25:29.09\00:25:30.89
You know, I think some people
00:25:31.09\00:25:32.43
in church is just
waiting for somebody
00:25:32.46\00:25:34.10
to say: "Hey, let's do some-
thing that we have never done
00:25:34.30\00:25:37.17
before and get
these things done. "
00:25:37.37\00:25:39.13
We have seen... we
have been involved in
00:25:39.33\00:25:42.04
projects and we notice
that the members seem to
00:25:42.24\00:25:44.84
come alive when
something new is presented.
00:25:45.04\00:25:48.41
And people get
excited and they come back
00:25:48.61\00:25:51.61
from those trips excited.
00:25:51.81\00:25:53.48
We're going to hear some
of those stories in a moment
00:25:53.88\00:25:55.42
I'm sure, but Bro.
Nelson, tell us... tell us about
00:25:55.62\00:26:00.06
the video we're about
to see and where it is.
00:26:01.22\00:26:04.16
Where were you when
you were doing this video?
00:26:04.36\00:26:05.89
Sure... yeah... absolutely.
So the context for the video
00:26:06.09\00:26:08.86
is that this mission trip that
we're doing really soon here
00:26:09.06\00:26:11.90
to Argentina is actually going
to be at the very southern tip
00:26:12.10\00:26:14.80
of Argentina. In fact,
it's the most southern city
00:26:15.00\00:26:17.27
in the world which
is Ushuaia, Argentina.
00:26:17.47\00:26:19.61
Um-hmm. So I'm doing
this video in Ushuaia.
00:26:19.81\00:26:22.88
And very windy
down there by the way.
00:26:23.08\00:26:25.21
You'll hear some wind a
little bit in the background
00:26:25.41\00:26:26.82
of the video, but basically
00:26:27.32\00:26:29.58
it's... As I mentioned, we're
going to do 28 simultaneous
00:26:29.78\00:26:32.52
evangelistic meetings and
we're going to be passing out
00:26:32.72\00:26:34.52
a million tracts. But we're
going to take a smaller team
00:26:34.72\00:26:37.46
down to the very southern trip
and we're going to try and get
00:26:37.66\00:26:40.33
literature into every
hand in three small towns
00:26:40.53\00:26:43.26
at the very very
very bottom of Argentina.
00:26:43.47\00:26:45.90
So it's going to be exciting.
I mean, they have like glaciers
00:26:46.10\00:26:47.84
that are just a couple
miles away from Argentina.
00:26:48.04\00:26:50.81
There's penguins
that are down there.
00:26:51.01\00:26:52.47
Wow! It's pretty
cool. Excellent! Excellent!
00:26:52.67\00:26:54.48
Well, let's take
a look at this video
00:26:54.68\00:26:56.28
and pay close attention.
00:26:56.48\00:26:58.75
Hey everybody. This is
Nelson Ernst from the GLOW Tract
00:27:03.02\00:27:05.09
Ministry. I'm down here
today in Ushuaia, Argentina,
00:27:05.29\00:27:08.29
which is literally at the
southern tip of the world.
00:27:08.49\00:27:10.93
I've been down here
for the past few days
00:27:11.29\00:27:13.13
and been having a really good
time checking out the territory
00:27:13.33\00:27:16.06
here. Now, why
would I be doing that?
00:27:16.26\00:27:17.93
It's because we're going to
be doing a mission trip here
00:27:18.33\00:27:20.54
in April of 2022. In Argentina
we're going to pass out
00:27:20.74\00:27:24.94
one million GLOW tracts.
00:27:25.14\00:27:26.74
Now these tracts are not
just going to teach people about
00:27:26.94\00:27:28.84
the Bible, but they're
also going to invite people
00:27:29.04\00:27:31.21
to 25 simultaneous
evangelistic meetings
00:27:31.41\00:27:34.02
that are going to be happening
all throughout the country.
00:27:34.22\00:27:36.12
I'm going to take a special
group in addition to that
00:27:36.62\00:27:39.02
down to the very southern
tip right here to Ushuaia
00:27:39.22\00:27:42.19
and we're going to pass
out literature, GLOW tracts
00:27:42.39\00:27:44.59
to every single house in Ushuaia
00:27:44.79\00:27:46.80
as well as two other
very small towns here.
00:27:47.00\00:27:49.70
I went and met some of
the church members today
00:27:50.10\00:27:52.03
while I was
preaching in their churches
00:27:52.23\00:27:53.70
and they want to
say something to you:
00:27:53.90\00:27:55.47
Friends, these church members
down here are excited about
00:28:02.61\00:28:06.18
what's going to happen. We
need missionaries to come down
00:28:06.38\00:28:09.12
and pass out this
literature. We need more hands!
00:28:09.32\00:28:11.92
So if you're interested
in learning more about this
00:28:12.32\00:28:14.09
mission trip and if you want
to maybe come with us, go to:
00:28:14.29\00:28:17.09
That website has
all the information
00:28:18.96\00:28:20.80
as well as a place
for you to register.
00:28:21.00\00:28:23.06
We'll see you at the
southern tip of the world.
00:28:23.26\00:28:25.13
Excellent! Praise the Lord!
00:28:29.70\00:28:31.17
Wow! The very
southern tip of the world!
00:28:31.37\00:28:33.91
Yeah, yeah... it took
about 24 hours to get down there
00:28:34.11\00:28:37.45
from California... 18
hrs. of time in the air.
00:28:37.65\00:28:39.95
Tremendous, tremendous!
00:28:40.15\00:28:41.48
You know, you're
talking about the mission trips.
00:28:41.52\00:28:43.05
I know the
answer will be varied:
00:28:43.72\00:28:46.19
how long is one of
these mission trips?
00:28:46.39\00:28:48.79
Sure. Well when we do a mission
trip that is international
00:28:48.99\00:28:53.43
you know we try to make it
long enough that it's worthwhile
00:28:53.63\00:28:56.00
for missionaries
to come out to it.
00:28:56.20\00:28:58.13
So typically they range
anywhere from 7 to 10 days.
00:28:58.33\00:29:02.07
Standard is about a
ten-day mission trip.
00:29:02.27\00:29:04.77
Excellent... very good.
What language do they speak
00:29:04.97\00:29:06.31
over there in
Ushuaia, Argentina? Spanish.
00:29:06.47\00:29:09.01
OK... Spanish
because I heard their English
00:29:09.41\00:29:12.28
and it was good.
You taught them English?
00:29:12.48\00:29:14.65
I actually told them 'cause I
was preaching in both of those
00:29:14.85\00:29:17.95
churches that were on the video
clip there, and I told them
00:29:18.15\00:29:20.72
"Hey, I need you guys to
help me make a recruiting video
00:29:20.92\00:29:23.93
and say WELCOME TO USHUAIA. "
00:29:24.13\00:29:27.26
Excellent! OK... very
good. I heard them also say
00:29:27.46\00:29:29.96
Bienvenido so
they said both. Right.
00:29:30.17\00:29:32.10
Good... very good.
00:29:32.30\00:29:33.64
Well, tell us more
about what your needs are
00:29:34.00\00:29:37.87
in putting together
these types of mission trips
00:29:38.07\00:29:41.91
because it sounds great
and all but there is a lot
00:29:42.11\00:29:46.08
of behind-the-scenes
planning and a lot of needs that
00:29:46.28\00:29:50.19
we are not aware of...
so please share with us.
00:29:50.39\00:29:53.46
Yeah, you can say that again.
00:29:53.66\00:29:54.99
It's a logistical...
00:29:55.02\00:29:56.42
yeah, there's a lot
of logistics to them.
00:29:56.62\00:29:58.66
Basically... The main thing
that everybody can help us with
00:29:59.69\00:30:04.23
when it comes to
mission trips is just prayer.
00:30:04.43\00:30:05.80
You know, Satan really likes
to attack plans - oh, yeah -
00:30:06.00\00:30:09.77
when we're going out and
invading his kingdom so to speak
00:30:09.97\00:30:12.61
and passing out
millions of pieces of literature
00:30:12.81\00:30:14.41
he's not happy
about that. That's right.
00:30:14.61\00:30:16.24
So just prayers that
God will protect us -
00:30:16.44\00:30:17.91
the missionaries - and
that there won't be issues
00:30:18.11\00:30:21.25
with restrictions with
COVID in a country or something
00:30:21.45\00:30:23.99
like that. Aside from that
00:30:24.19\00:30:26.92
obviously we always are
interested in people coming
00:30:27.12\00:30:30.53
as missionaries. So when I
think about putting together
00:30:30.73\00:30:34.86
a mission trip, the two major
hurdles that we have to overcome
00:30:35.06\00:30:38.13
are recruiting people
and raising donations.
00:30:38.33\00:30:41.74
Because when we go on a mission
trip and we pass out a million
00:30:41.94\00:30:45.47
or 3 million or
10 million tracts
00:30:45.67\00:30:47.64
we're not asking the
missionaries who come
00:30:47.84\00:30:49.81
to pay for the tracts.
00:30:50.01\00:30:51.35
So we do what we can to
raise the funds to get all that
00:30:51.38\00:30:54.02
covered and out of the
way and so different people
00:30:54.22\00:30:57.32
can donate towards that.
00:30:57.52\00:30:59.02
But we also just need manpower
00:30:59.22\00:31:01.82
so we need
people to come with us.
00:31:02.02\00:31:03.53
And there are still open...
opportunities for even the one
00:31:03.73\00:31:07.40
that's coming up here in Ushuaia
00:31:07.60\00:31:09.13
and definitely for the
ones that are further out
00:31:09.33\00:31:11.87
like Bolivia
and the Philippines.
00:31:12.07\00:31:13.87
Excellent! Well
this is a wonderful
00:31:14.07\00:31:18.24
ambitious under-
taking and we praise the Lord
00:31:18.44\00:31:20.81
for what GLOW is doing. Um-hmm.
00:31:21.01\00:31:22.81
And you mentioned prayer.
That's definitely a need...
00:31:23.01\00:31:27.58
a constant and
continued need. Right.
00:31:27.78\00:31:30.82
What else? There are people
that are not able to go. Yes.
00:31:31.02\00:31:34.96
Perhaps you mentioned donations?
00:31:35.16\00:31:37.49
We're going to share in a
moment contact information
00:31:37.69\00:31:40.60
for GLOW so
please get yourself ready
00:31:40.80\00:31:42.86
to write it down. And like
I said in some other programs
00:31:43.26\00:31:46.60
sometimes I don't have anything
to write. Nowadays you can
00:31:46.80\00:31:49.50
take a picture of
the screen. That's right.
00:31:49.70\00:31:51.67
If you're listening on radio you
WILL have to listen carefully
00:31:51.87\00:31:55.54
and write it down. And
if you don't get it all,
00:31:55.74\00:31:58.08
of course, you can contact
us and we will be glad to share
00:31:58.28\00:32:01.42
the information with you.
00:32:01.62\00:32:02.95
But besides the people
that are not able to probably go
00:32:03.05\00:32:05.95
do you need people to
like organize the groups
00:32:06.15\00:32:09.66
and get them ready to go?
00:32:09.86\00:32:11.49
Do you have that need as well?
00:32:11.69\00:32:13.33
Yeah... Well... so
again, our biggest needs
00:32:14.00\00:32:17.90
are manpower and
also just the funding
00:32:18.10\00:32:24.04
so we can cover
for the donations.
00:32:24.24\00:32:25.57
So we've done actually quite
a few of these mission trips
00:32:25.64\00:32:28.41
already - um-hmm - so we
have a lot of the things down
00:32:28.61\00:32:33.82
with regards to putting
together the transportation
00:32:34.02\00:32:37.25
and doing a lot of logistics
for things on the ground
00:32:37.45\00:32:40.29
although it varies from
country to country you know.
00:32:40.49\00:32:42.09
As you know it's - oh yes
- it's hard getting around
00:32:42.66\00:32:44.43
in a different country
you've never been to sometimes.
00:32:44.63\00:32:46.56
OK. Especially if you
don't speak the language.
00:32:46.76\00:32:48.20
But yeah... again I think
our biggest needs are always
00:32:48.40\00:32:52.90
donations and recruiting.
00:32:53.20\00:32:55.74
So for example, in Argentina
00:32:55.94\00:32:57.57
typically we're just
fundraising for literature.
00:32:57.77\00:32:59.94
Um-hmm. But in this particular
instance there's a church there
00:33:00.14\00:33:02.38
in Rio Grande, Argentina, which
is... it's a very small church
00:33:02.58\00:33:06.88
and since it's so far
away even from other churches
00:33:07.08\00:33:09.45
in its own conference it
often times get neglected.
00:33:09.65\00:33:11.79
But they have
opened up their doors to us
00:33:11.99\00:33:14.46
and they're going to
allow our missionaries to stay
00:33:14.66\00:33:16.29
in the church facilities. To
eat there; to have our worship
00:33:16.49\00:33:18.83
there; to sleep there; to shower
there... all this kind of stuff.
00:33:19.03\00:33:21.26
But in order to do that
00:33:21.86\00:33:23.20
they're actually having
to remodel a fair amount
00:33:23.37\00:33:26.57
of a section of their church.
00:33:26.77\00:33:28.20
So we're working
to try to raise funds
00:33:28.40\00:33:31.34
so that we can
help them do that.
00:33:31.54\00:33:32.87
Because they're actually opening
up their doors as a small church
00:33:32.91\00:33:35.91
that's off in
the middle of nowhere
00:33:36.11\00:33:37.51
to let our missionaries come
and stay to reduce our expenses.
00:33:37.71\00:33:40.15
So when we do these mission
trips we try and keep them
00:33:40.65\00:33:42.82
very inexpensive. And part of
that means that we're going to
00:33:43.02\00:33:45.32
be staying at church
facilities or school facilities.
00:33:45.52\00:33:48.12
And we just want to
help this church down there.
00:33:48.32\00:33:50.66
Excellent! Wonderful!
00:33:50.86\00:33:52.36
I think that that is
the best use of our money.
00:33:52.56\00:33:55.13
if we're not going to
pay the hotel while of course
00:33:55.33\00:33:58.23
you know recruits and
find some funding so the church
00:33:58.43\00:34:02.50
can permanently have
that facility available
00:34:02.70\00:34:06.78
for future projects as well.
00:34:06.98\00:34:08.91
I have a question for you:
00:34:09.31\00:34:10.65
is GLOW a 501C3 for
those that want to donate? Yes.
00:34:10.68\00:34:16.22
Which is non-profit. Right.
GLOW is operated through...
00:34:16.42\00:34:20.46
primarily through the
Central California Conference.
00:34:20.66\00:34:22.72
So if people want to donate
towards a project like this
00:34:23.09\00:34:25.16
we are able to issue a
tax- deductible receipt to them
00:34:25.36\00:34:28.40
and get that all taken
care of. Um-hmm. Great.
00:34:28.60\00:34:30.57
Do you have like? What is the
age of the youngest participants
00:34:30.77\00:34:35.40
in one of your
projects? I would love to hear
00:34:35.60\00:34:38.81
one of those
experiences. Well...
00:34:39.01\00:34:41.68
when we were in... so when the
Super Bowl came to Santa Clara,
00:34:41.88\00:34:44.38
California, we
passed out a million tracts
00:34:44.58\00:34:47.32
in San Francisco and
Santa Clara as a mission trip.
00:34:47.52\00:34:49.85
And one of the missionaries
was actually pregnant... so
00:34:50.05\00:34:52.85
I consider that to be
our youngest participant.
00:34:53.05\00:34:55.46
You know, it's great. If you
go out and you're passing out
00:34:56.32\00:34:58.99
literature and you're pregnant
it really opens up some doors
00:34:59.19\00:35:00.90
'cause people are
just very sympathetic.
00:35:01.06\00:35:03.06
But you know, in terms
of "post-birth" participants
00:35:03.26\00:35:07.07
we've had even some little kids
come along and they're great.
00:35:07.47\00:35:11.27
I remember - again -
at the Super Bowl that
00:35:11.47\00:35:14.38
there were a lot of security...
people with camouflage
00:35:14.58\00:35:18.38
and machine guns
and stuff. Right.
00:35:18.58\00:35:19.91
And these little kids on
our trip, they'd just go up
00:35:20.05\00:35:22.12
and give them these
GLOW tracts. How precious!
00:35:22.32\00:35:24.45
Hey, maybe the adults didn't
want to go and approach them
00:35:24.65\00:35:26.92
but the kids? They
didn't care. Yes... yes.
00:35:27.12\00:35:28.66
The security people loved it.
00:35:28.86\00:35:31.49
That is wonderful!
That just warms my heart.
00:35:31.69\00:35:34.30
So it's an opportunity
for everyone of all ages
00:35:34.66\00:35:38.20
to consider having a GLOW
project, a GLOW mission trip
00:35:38.40\00:35:43.71
project locally as well.
00:35:43.91\00:35:47.24
So we're praying for
you. I know that the Lord will
00:35:47.44\00:35:49.64
bless you as you
give from the heart
00:35:49.84\00:35:53.18
as the Holy Spirit moves
upon your heart to support
00:35:53.38\00:35:56.22
this project to Argentina
and also to the Philippines
00:35:56.42\00:36:00.96
and also to Bolivia. Um-hmm.
00:36:01.16\00:36:02.99
I'm pretty sure there are some:
"Oh, I've been to Bolivia! "
00:36:03.19\00:36:06.56
Or "I've been to Argentina
and of course, we'd love to
00:36:06.76\00:36:10.00
to see the people
receive this material. "
00:36:10.20\00:36:14.14
It's easy reading
material, right? Absolutely.
00:36:14.34\00:36:17.81
And it's... Tell me,
how long would it take
00:36:18.01\00:36:21.21
the average reader
to read these tracts?
00:36:21.41\00:36:24.28
So the average tract
is about 1,200 words.
00:36:24.48\00:36:28.18
Obviously, it depends on what
language it's translated into.
00:36:28.38\00:36:30.15
Some are longer than others
like Indonesian is very long.
00:36:30.35\00:36:33.49
But it's an average of about
5-7 minutes to read through
00:36:33.69\00:36:37.23
a tract. Five to seven
minutes. That's not long.
00:36:37.43\00:36:39.59
And it helps the
person understand and also
00:36:39.79\00:36:43.97
let's say whet the appetite
to continue studying. Right.
00:36:44.17\00:36:47.67
So in the back of the
GLOW tracts what do we have
00:36:47.87\00:36:51.17
to help the people that
read it get more information?
00:36:51.37\00:36:56.08
Yeah, so that's a good question.
00:36:56.28\00:36:57.81
Actually, it depends on where
the tract is printed and used.
00:36:58.01\00:37:00.58
So the back panel
always in the United States
00:37:00.78\00:37:03.79
has offers for free
Bible studies. Excellent!
00:37:03.99\00:37:07.36
It has offers for getting ad-
ditional tracts or a free book.
00:37:07.76\00:37:12.49
Different tracts will
advertise different books.
00:37:12.69\00:37:14.63
For example, a health
tract will advertise maybe
00:37:14.83\00:37:17.23
a healthy cookbook whereas a
tract on the mark of the beast
00:37:17.43\00:37:22.80
would advertise The Great Con-
troversy or something like that.
00:37:23.00\00:37:25.64
When we go to different
countries to do a mission trip
00:37:26.04\00:37:28.58
we actually work
with each specific country
00:37:28.78\00:37:30.75
to adapt the tracts to their
- oh, good - culture - yes -
00:37:30.95\00:37:34.72
in terms of the
graphics - um-hmm -
00:37:34.92\00:37:36.25
in terms of the thought content,
00:37:36.35\00:37:38.72
in terms of the
translation, and then finally
00:37:38.92\00:37:41.02
in terms of what goes
on the very back panel
00:37:41.22\00:37:43.06
for the contact and
follow-up information.
00:37:43.26\00:37:45.06
So in Argentina
for example - um-hmm -
00:37:45.26\00:37:48.10
the back panel is going
to be driving people towards
00:37:48.30\00:37:51.03
these 28 simultaneous
evangelistic meetings that are
00:37:51.23\00:37:53.54
happening plus they'll probably
offer some Bible studies.
00:37:53.74\00:37:56.37
So it just depends on
where you're at. Excellent!
00:37:57.27\00:37:59.37
I understand that
there's also plans...
00:37:59.57\00:38:02.74
there are plans also to
do this in the Middle East.
00:38:02.94\00:38:06.65
You probably
have done it already
00:38:06.85\00:38:08.22
if you already have the
tracts in those languages.
00:38:08.42\00:38:10.09
But in the future there
will be plans for mission trips
00:38:10.29\00:38:12.92
to the Middle
East, is that right?
00:38:13.12\00:38:14.46
Yes, uh-huh. We've already had
some outreach endeavors there
00:38:14.49\00:38:18.89
and we will be having
another one coming up this Fall.
00:38:19.09\00:38:23.26
So again, if people are
interested in doing some of
00:38:23.47\00:38:26.23
these more
"superlative" mission trips...
00:38:26.43\00:38:29.60
Going to the Middle East
is definitely a superlative.
00:38:30.74\00:38:32.87
Yes indeed! We're going to
take a small group this Fall
00:38:33.07\00:38:37.05
and they can learn more
about that on our website:
00:38:37.35\00:38:39.88
GlowMissionTrips.org Excellent!
00:38:40.08\00:38:41.42
Well what are some of the
ways... We have people listening
00:38:41.45\00:38:44.35
all over the world right
now, but what are some of the
00:38:44.55\00:38:46.86
ways they can use a GLOW tract?
00:38:47.06\00:38:49.02
Yeah, well, you know I mentioned
this a little bit earlier on
00:38:49.22\00:38:53.19
but not everybody can come
on one of these mission trips,
00:38:53.40\00:38:56.77
right? That's right. But
everybody can be a missionary
00:38:56.97\00:38:59.47
in their hometown. It's
just a matter of keeping
00:38:59.67\00:39:03.57
the literature with you. In
fact, we've heard stories...
00:39:03.77\00:39:06.98
You don't really have
to pre-plan it sometimes.
00:39:07.18\00:39:09.58
You need to carry the
literature and pray and God
00:39:09.78\00:39:12.08
will open up the doors for
you to get that literature out.
00:39:12.28\00:39:14.08
Amen! Even if you
don't want to get it out.
00:39:14.28\00:39:15.62
That's right. Like
I'll give an example:
00:39:15.68\00:39:17.02
so I had
literature with me one time
00:39:17.05\00:39:18.75
and I prayed to God:
"God, give me an opportunity
00:39:18.95\00:39:22.99
to get this literature out.
" So I was standing in line -
00:39:23.19\00:39:25.46
the security line in an
airport that particular day -
00:39:25.66\00:39:28.93
and I felt this conviction
to give a tract to the woman
00:39:29.13\00:39:31.43
who was standing right
behind me in the security line.
00:39:31.63\00:39:33.27
In fact, I might have
been coming out to 3ABN.
00:39:34.10\00:39:35.90
I don't remember, but...
laughter... I think I was!
00:39:36.10\00:39:38.54
So anyway, for some reason
you know I'm a chicken, too.
00:39:38.74\00:39:42.04
Just like the rest of
us sometimes, you know?
00:39:42.24\00:39:43.58
You just don't feel like
ah... You just wonder if it's
00:39:43.68\00:39:45.71
the right moment, how
the person will react.
00:39:45.91\00:39:47.88
Or you're going to give it and
maybe they're going to say no
00:39:48.18\00:39:49.52
or whatever. So I
resisted... I didn't give it.
00:39:49.58\00:39:53.19
Well anyway, I take
off - you know - my jacket
00:39:53.39\00:39:55.82
and all these things
out of my pockets to put
00:39:56.02\00:39:58.23
it through the
security scanning device.
00:39:58.43\00:40:00.66
And I go through the
scanner; step through.
00:40:00.86\00:40:03.13
I start pulling my stuff
out of the bucket - right?
00:40:03.33\00:40:05.60
on the conveyor belt.
Right. I pull my jacket out
00:40:05.80\00:40:07.87
and guess what
falls out of my jacket?
00:40:08.07\00:40:09.47
Tracts! All of my GLOW tracts.
They fall all over the ground
00:40:09.67\00:40:12.84
and they were all
just one title which says
00:40:13.04\00:40:15.31
A Gift for You. Excellent!
00:40:15.51\00:40:17.38
And the woman who was
right behind me that I had felt
00:40:17.58\00:40:19.78
convicted about
giving the tract to
00:40:19.98\00:40:21.45
she then at that very moment
stepped through the scanner
00:40:21.65\00:40:23.52
herself and she sees all
of my literature just dashed
00:40:23.72\00:40:26.69
on the floor and
she literally says:
00:40:26.89\00:40:29.22
"Oh... A Gift for
You. What's that? "
00:40:29.42\00:40:31.93
I mean it couldn't
have gotten any easier
00:40:32.33\00:40:34.00
for me to give the tract to her.
00:40:34.20\00:40:35.73
Praise the Lord! Affirmation!
Well yeah, I mean like
00:40:35.93\00:40:39.03
if you carry literature with you
you'd better be pretty proactive
00:40:39.23\00:40:41.60
in getting it out
otherwise, God might organize
00:40:41.84\00:40:43.51
circumstances you know so
that it gets out on its own.
00:40:43.71\00:40:46.14
Praise the Lord! Praise
the Lord that it spilled out.
00:40:46.34\00:40:49.21
Because in some places... Just
the other day I was in the store
00:40:50.38\00:40:54.62
and I went to the parking lot
00:40:54.82\00:40:56.18
and I offered to help somebody.
I don't know who the person was.
00:40:56.38\00:41:00.26
Just a gentleman. And
we engaged in conversation.
00:41:00.46\00:41:03.96
And I'm thinking... I'm
talking with him and I'm like:
00:41:04.16\00:41:06.93
"What do I have
that I can give him? "
00:41:07.13\00:41:09.56
And at that time I
didn't have anything on me.
00:41:09.76\00:41:14.30
So the size of these
GLOW tracts fits in my purse.
00:41:14.50\00:41:18.67
Are small enough? That's
right; it definitely does.
00:41:18.87\00:41:20.68
You just said you fit
it in your suit jacket.
00:41:20.88\00:41:22.81
In your pocket so
it's handy to have.
00:41:23.91\00:41:27.52
Absolutely! Yep, we
try and keep them small
00:41:27.68\00:41:29.85
and keep them inexpensive so
people can carry them easily.
00:41:30.05\00:41:32.99
YES! You know, you
asked: "How can people do this
00:41:33.19\00:41:35.99
just you know in
their everyday life? "
00:41:36.19\00:41:38.16
I like to always when
I get asked that question
00:41:38.36\00:41:40.73
just emphasize at
least two different ideas.
00:41:40.93\00:41:42.96
You know there's... I could give
literally a three-hour seminar
00:41:43.16\00:41:46.84
on different ideas because we've
gotten all kinds of stories
00:41:47.04\00:41:49.14
of how church members
pass these things out.
00:41:49.34\00:41:51.37
Um-hmm. But if I had to just
distill it down to the top two
00:41:51.57\00:41:55.04
that I think are
practical for everyday life
00:41:55.24\00:41:56.95
I would say number one
00:41:57.35\00:42:00.32
is at gas stations and
number two is in parking lots.
00:42:00.52\00:42:03.12
Um-hmm. Because all of us go
to the gas station eventually.
00:42:03.32\00:42:05.32
That's right. And all of us
go to a parking lot eventually.
00:42:05.52\00:42:07.46
Right? 'Cause, we
have errands in town.
00:42:07.66\00:42:09.39
Um-hmm. So when
you go to a parking lot
00:42:09.59\00:42:12.23
you can leave
literature on a car door.
00:42:12.43\00:42:14.70
And that's a very efficient
way of getting literature out
00:42:14.90\00:42:18.23
in a large amount. Just
park a little bit further
00:42:18.43\00:42:20.84
away from the store
and then you can zig-zag
00:42:21.00\00:42:23.24
in and out of a few cars
as you're going in. Um-hmm.
00:42:23.44\00:42:25.74
You don't want to do that
when you're coming out with a
00:42:25.94\00:42:27.28
shopping cart. That
could be hard. Frustrating.
00:42:27.61\00:42:29.44
And then you just put it
on the driver's side car door
00:42:29.64\00:42:31.28
if they're a GLOW tract because
they fold nicely to go in there.
00:42:31.48\00:42:34.22
Yes. So even if you're afraid
00:42:34.42\00:42:36.89
of giving it directly to some-
body; afraid you're going to get
00:42:37.09\00:42:39.35
rejected you can
put it in a car door.
00:42:39.55\00:42:41.76
And inevitably they're going
to have to interact with that
00:42:41.96\00:42:44.49
piece of literature because
they have to put their hand
00:42:44.69\00:42:46.13
on the handle, right? In
fact, it's kind of funny.
00:42:46.33\00:42:48.16
One of our authors who's written
quite a few of our tracts -
00:42:48.36\00:42:50.60
Steve Wohlberg - he wrote
in to the GLOW ministry one day
00:42:50.80\00:42:54.37
and said: "Hey,
somebody GLOWed me! "
00:42:54.57\00:42:56.04
He had his car parked at
a grocery store or something
00:42:56.84\00:42:59.64
and somebody had put a
tract on his car. Awesome!
00:42:59.84\00:43:01.58
But, yeah... that's
one way of doing it.
00:43:02.41\00:43:05.15
Also gas stations.
When you're at your pump
00:43:05.35\00:43:07.78
you can leave a piece of
literature there for the person
00:43:07.98\00:43:10.89
who comes after you.
You can put it on the pump
00:43:11.05\00:43:12.69
in between where the holster
00:43:12.89\00:43:14.79
where the gas nozzle
goes back in. That's right.
00:43:14.99\00:43:18.86
There's different
places you can put it.
00:43:19.26\00:43:21.30
It's up to you. And if
you're feeling really brave,
00:43:21.50\00:43:23.90
then you can go while
you're waiting for your gas
00:43:24.10\00:43:26.30
you can go and put them
on the other empty gas pumps
00:43:26.50\00:43:29.00
or if you're feeling
extremely brave you can
00:43:29.20\00:43:31.21
go up to the people who
are actually pumping gas
00:43:31.41\00:43:34.01
and give it to them
because they're not going to go
00:43:34.21\00:43:35.64
anywhere. I mean, they're
stuck there with their gas
00:43:35.84\00:43:37.68
going. And the way
that I like to do it
00:43:37.88\00:43:39.85
is I'll go up to
the people and I'll say:
00:43:40.05\00:43:42.25
"Excuse me, sir or ma'am.
00:43:42.45\00:43:44.79
Do you mind if I leave
this here for the person...
00:43:44.99\00:43:47.59
if I leave this on the pump
for the person who's going to
00:43:47.79\00:43:50.53
come next? " I'm not
even giving it to them.
00:43:50.73\00:43:54.40
Right? So it's not like
they're going to reject me
00:43:54.60\00:43:56.97
and say: "No, I don't want it. "
00:43:57.17\00:43:58.50
So it's a very safe
way of doing it for me.
00:43:58.53\00:44:00.84
That's right.
And 9 times out of 10
00:44:01.04\00:44:03.30
they'll say:
"Yeah, not a problem. "
00:44:03.51\00:44:05.07
But then also 9 times out of 10
00:44:05.47\00:44:07.08
they'll get interested and
they'll ask for one themselves
00:44:07.28\00:44:09.14
or they'll just take
the one that I put there
00:44:09.34\00:44:11.18
because they're interested in
seeing what I just left behind.
00:44:11.38\00:44:13.31
So it's kind of a
"chicken" way of doing it
00:44:13.52\00:44:15.22
for those who need
some extra help, you know.
00:44:15.42\00:44:16.89
Well you know...
Laundromats are very good too.
00:44:17.29\00:44:20.76
This is true. Laundromats.
00:44:20.96\00:44:22.56
On Sundays there's
a lot of people there
00:44:22.76\00:44:25.33
at the laundromat.
You know, I have a story
00:44:25.53\00:44:27.93
on that, so... Oh! OK.
00:44:28.13\00:44:30.27
We've encouraged people to
do laundromats for years too.
00:44:30.47\00:44:32.83
Uh-huh. There was one
lady in Washington state.
00:44:33.03\00:44:35.37
She was putting her GLOW
tracts into her local laundromat
00:44:35.57\00:44:38.77
on a regular basis, but
she noticed that the tracts
00:44:38.97\00:44:41.01
were disappearing rather quickly
00:44:41.21\00:44:43.14
when she would go there again.
00:44:43.35\00:44:45.41
'Cause she'd put a sizeable
tract and she was wondering
00:44:45.61\00:44:47.45
"Well, why are these
tracts going so quickly?
00:44:47.65\00:44:49.32
I mean, is somebody
throwing them away? "
00:44:49.52\00:44:50.85
So she... one time when
she was in the laundromat
00:44:51.12\00:44:54.72
she saw the postman come in
00:44:54.92\00:44:56.93
and the postman picked up
a whole stack of her tracts
00:44:57.13\00:44:59.29
and put them into his mail
satchel and started walking out.
00:44:59.49\00:45:01.70
And she stopped
him and she said:
00:45:02.10\00:45:03.43
"Excuse me, what are you doing
00:45:03.53\00:45:05.83
with that
stuff, you picked up? "
00:45:06.03\00:45:08.10
And he said: "Oh! I read these
and I think they're really good.
00:45:08.30\00:45:11.51
I like to give them to the
people when I deliver mail. "
00:45:11.71\00:45:13.51
Oh wow! So the postman - inter-
esting - actually turned into
00:45:13.71\00:45:17.08
a missionary - Amen - and
delivered the GLOW tracts. Amen!
00:45:17.28\00:45:19.21
So yeah... that's a
great place to put 'em.
00:45:19.41\00:45:22.08
Well I've been to the
laundromat quite a few times.
00:45:22.28\00:45:24.85
It's boring, so I take
my reading material with me.
00:45:25.05\00:45:29.62
I take my work with
me... my computer with me.
00:45:29.82\00:45:31.89
But I have also given tracts
away to people that I say:
00:45:32.09\00:45:36.03
"Hey, here's some
material for you to read while
00:45:36.23\00:45:40.14
your laundry is being done. "
00:45:40.34\00:45:42.40
So there are different
opportunities. I think that
00:45:42.60\00:45:46.04
you guys have material
for families, so if you're at
00:45:46.24\00:45:49.61
the park... you know, you
see someone there... then it's
00:45:49.81\00:45:52.78
a non-invasive way of
approaching the family.
00:45:52.98\00:45:58.15
So this is for
families, for single people,
00:45:58.35\00:46:00.89
for grandma and
grandpas to read as well.
00:46:01.09\00:46:03.73
You can also put literature in
an airplane, if you're flying.
00:46:03.93\00:46:06.83
Yes. You know, there
might be that magazine there.
00:46:07.03\00:46:09.06
Just put a bookmark in it.
00:46:09.26\00:46:11.57
That's right. You can give it
to your seatmate who's sitting
00:46:11.77\00:46:13.64
next to you. We've had a
lot of incredible stories
00:46:13.84\00:46:15.77
from that. You can leave
it inside of your hotel room
00:46:15.97\00:46:19.37
if you stay at a hotel.
00:46:19.57\00:46:21.18
Leave a tip with that, though.
00:46:21.38\00:46:23.04
What's that?
00:46:23.24\00:46:24.58
Leave a tip. Oh
yes... of course.
00:46:24.61\00:46:26.75
For the housekeeper.
That's what we usually do.
00:46:27.08\00:46:28.95
We leave a tract and of
course with a love gift for them
00:46:29.15\00:46:33.46
for their labor because...
You know, it's nice that
00:46:33.66\00:46:36.73
we leave a tract but also you
know they have needs as well.
00:46:36.93\00:46:41.13
Yeah, absolutely! So
accompany it if you can.
00:46:41.33\00:46:45.23
I'm just plugging... sure...
let me give a plug for the
00:46:45.43\00:46:49.20
housekeepers. So we have a story
actually from these two methods
00:46:49.40\00:46:53.98
that I just mentioned. Yes.
00:46:54.18\00:46:55.51
There was a person that
works for a TV personality
00:46:55.71\00:47:01.62
named Montel Williams.
00:47:01.82\00:47:03.39
He was kind of high up;
kind of like his right-hand guy.
00:47:03.59\00:47:06.25
And he found one
of our GLOW tracts
00:47:06.45\00:47:10.33
on the topic of health.
It was actually the tract
00:47:10.53\00:47:14.06
called Steps to Health
that talks about the 8 natural
00:47:14.26\00:47:17.43
doctors...Yes! the
NEWSTART principles.
00:47:17.63\00:47:20.20
Um-hmm. He found that
tract in his hotel room,
00:47:20.40\00:47:23.04
and he called the phone
number on the back panel
00:47:23.24\00:47:26.24
and got ahold of
the GLOW director in the
00:47:26.44\00:47:30.75
Upper Columbia Conference
based in Spokane, Washington.
00:47:30.95\00:47:34.88
And he said: "I read this tract.
I think this is one of the best
00:47:35.08\00:47:38.12
write-ups on health. " Amen!
"Montel is just now getting into
00:47:38.32\00:47:41.02
health. " And he ordered 1,000
tracts while he was on the phone
00:47:41.22\00:47:44.23
and said he was going
to call and order more.
00:47:44.43\00:47:45.93
The reason why it
stood out to him though
00:47:46.13\00:47:47.46
wasn't just
because of the content.
00:47:47.66\00:47:49.00
He told Jordana, who was our
GLOW person up there at the time
00:47:49.20\00:47:52.83
he said: "This also
stood out to me because
00:47:53.03\00:47:55.47
I just got this exact
same tract while I was flying.
00:47:55.67\00:48:00.21
It was in the airplane
00:48:00.41\00:48:02.41
so I got this thing two
times: once in the airplane... "
00:48:02.61\00:48:04.71
Wonderful! "and
once in the hotel room. "
00:48:04.91\00:48:06.38
Like the Lord is saying:
"Hint, hint... hint, hint. "
00:48:06.58\00:48:08.22
Yeah. He was trying
to get his attention.
00:48:08.62\00:48:11.02
Yeah. Praise the Lord!
00:48:11.22\00:48:12.55
So another just real quick
one while I'm thinking about
00:48:12.89\00:48:15.72
airplanes. An associate of mine
00:48:16.02\00:48:17.83
actually was flying
in first-class recently
00:48:18.03\00:48:21.63
and he noticed a person
who was sitting next to him
00:48:21.83\00:48:24.97
and felt like: "I need to maybe
give this person a piece of
00:48:25.17\00:48:27.84
literature. " So when the plane
landed he began to talk to him
00:48:28.04\00:48:33.81
and asked him: 'So
like what do you do? "
00:48:34.01\00:48:35.54
He noticed he was
reading a history book.
00:48:35.74\00:48:37.35
And come to find out
that this guy actually was
00:48:37.55\00:48:41.18
the governor of Arizona.
00:48:41.38\00:48:42.92
Oh! And he didn't know until
the governor actually told him
00:48:43.12\00:48:46.55
"I'm the governor of Arizona. "
00:48:46.76\00:48:48.09
This happened just a
few months ago actually.
00:48:48.12\00:48:50.19
So he gave him his business
card which was a GLOW tract.
00:48:50.39\00:48:52.76
Oh! It was perfect.
00:48:52.96\00:48:54.30
Excellent! Excellent! You never
know who you're going to meet.
00:48:54.43\00:48:56.87
You also never know the
impact one little GLOW tract
00:48:57.07\00:49:01.37
will have.
Because like this person
00:49:01.57\00:49:04.01
that you mentioned
that found it in the hotel
00:49:04.21\00:49:06.71
and also saw it on the plane.
00:49:06.91\00:49:08.24
He knows people... and
the people you give this to
00:49:08.31\00:49:12.11
may know hundreds if
not thousands of people
00:49:12.31\00:49:14.95
that they can share it with.
00:49:15.15\00:49:16.48
So you never know how far
one of these tracts can go.
00:49:16.55\00:49:19.99
You know, one of the
things I'd like to share
00:49:20.19\00:49:22.66
with you here and you at home:
00:49:22.86\00:49:25.39
The Lord provides opportunities
for us to serve other people.
00:49:25.59\00:49:29.83
That's right. And it's my desire
00:49:30.03\00:49:32.10
for you all to just pray
before you leave your home
00:49:32.30\00:49:35.74
or once you start your
day in your day worship
00:49:35.94\00:49:38.67
just pray and say: "Lord
please, help me be sensitive
00:49:38.87\00:49:43.41
to the opportunities
that You will lay before me
00:49:43.61\00:49:45.95
to share a smile,
compassion. " You know,
00:49:46.15\00:49:49.98
carry somebody's
grocery bags or what have you.
00:49:50.19\00:49:53.46
And have a tract.
Have SOMETHING to just...
00:49:53.66\00:49:57.56
it's a seed that you're plant-
ing. That's right! That's right!
00:49:57.76\00:50:00.36
You are
laboring for Jesus. Amen!
00:50:00.56\00:50:03.97
And the Lord will send
the rain and the sunshine
00:50:04.17\00:50:07.54
that that little seed needs
you know for the Holy Spirit
00:50:07.74\00:50:10.97
after they read this material.
00:50:11.17\00:50:12.84
So please: take care
and please be sensitive
00:50:13.04\00:50:16.68
to those
opportunities - Amen! Amen!
00:50:16.88\00:50:18.81
that the Lord
will lay before you.
00:50:19.01\00:50:20.35
Well Nelson, maybe somebody
just tuned in the last 5 min.
00:50:20.38\00:50:23.12
Can you give us a
one-minute - briefly -
00:50:23.32\00:50:27.49
about the mission trips? Sure.
00:50:27.69\00:50:29.12
Yeah. Basically if
you're just tuning in
00:50:29.32\00:50:32.79
we have some incredible
mission opportunities.
00:50:32.99\00:50:36.56
We're going to be going
to some different countries
00:50:36.77\00:50:38.10
to distribute millions
of pieces of literature
00:50:38.23\00:50:40.77
to people who are
looking for the truth?
00:50:40.97\00:50:42.64
And you can go to our website:
00:50:42.84\00:50:44.97
and learn more
about those mission trips.
00:50:46.71\00:50:48.64
And we'd love to
potentially see you come with us
00:50:48.84\00:50:51.35
so that we can serve on
the front lines together.
00:50:51.55\00:50:53.18
Amen! Amen! You
know what we noticed
00:50:53.38\00:50:55.52
from organizing
evangelistic campaigns?
00:50:55.72\00:50:57.65
That many people that do it once
00:50:57.85\00:51:00.29
they want to do it again. Yep.
00:51:00.49\00:51:01.82
So this is a wonderful oppor-
tunity to get the Word of God
00:51:01.86\00:51:06.59
out and an opportunity for you
to get out of what we may call
00:51:06.80\00:51:10.17
the routine of your life and
go on one of these mission trips
00:51:10.37\00:51:14.20
or even organize one
in your area. Sponsor it!
00:51:14.40\00:51:16.87
Sponsor one! And so we
want to now share with you
00:51:17.07\00:51:20.11
the contact information for GLOW
00:51:20.31\00:51:22.41
where you can have the infor-
mation you need to go on one
00:51:22.61\00:51:25.15
of these trips or
even to organize a trip
00:51:25.35\00:51:27.98
or even to support
this ministry that is doing
00:51:28.18\00:51:31.42
a marvelous work to
get the gospel of Jesus
00:51:31.62\00:51:34.32
Christ out into the hands of
the people and into the minds
00:51:34.52\00:51:38.29
of the people so they can
make decisions for salvation.
00:51:38.49\00:51:41.06
We're going to see
the contact information
00:51:41.26\00:51:42.96
and then we will
share good news from 3ABN.
00:51:43.16\00:51:45.43
And we will be
back in just a moment.
00:51:45.63\00:51:47.44
We'll see you in a few seconds.
00:51:47.64\00:51:49.54
