Thank you very much.
Wow! This has been a blessing
00:00:01.36\00:00:03.40
to hear about F5
Challenge! Idalia, I think
00:00:03.60\00:00:07.44
Calvin has many
more things to share.
00:00:07.84\00:00:10.27
We encourage you to
get in contact with them
00:00:10.47\00:00:12.31
because it's a ministry
that is getting many many people
00:00:12.51\00:00:15.64
involved. Do you
have any final comments
00:00:15.84\00:00:17.68
that you would like
to share with everyone?
00:00:17.88\00:00:19.38
You know, I love
Jesus with all my heart
00:00:19.58\00:00:22.08
and it's such a
privilege to be a SDA Christian.
00:00:22.28\00:00:25.45
And I believe with all my
heart that Jesus is coming soon.
00:00:25.65\00:00:28.09
Amen! And the
thing is there are people
00:00:28.29\00:00:30.16
who grew up in the church
but have left the church -
00:00:30.36\00:00:32.29
um-hmm - for whatever reason.
00:00:32.49\00:00:33.83
They may have been hurt or they
may have had a bad experience
00:00:33.96\00:00:36.23
in the church. And
nothing makes me happier
00:00:36.43\00:00:38.47
than people who have left the
church are coming back in. Yes!
00:00:38.67\00:00:41.34
So our ministry is two-fold:
00:00:41.54\00:00:43.04
one is for the people
who grew up in the church.
00:00:43.24\00:00:45.81
If you have friends or family
00:00:46.01\00:00:47.51
they may be not interested
in coming to the church
00:00:47.71\00:00:49.61
but they might be interested
in coming out for some
00:00:49.81\00:00:51.68
activity 'cause they
love something outdoors.
00:00:51.88\00:00:54.35
Encourage you to invite them to
check out our events and come.
00:00:54.55\00:00:59.32
And then the other one is
every single one of our major
00:00:59.52\00:01:02.09
main events I've been able
to bring 1 or 2 of my non-SDA
00:01:02.29\00:01:04.69
friends. One was just my
neighbor who's a dentist.
00:01:04.89\00:01:07.26
They come and they
have a great time. Awesome!
00:01:07.46\00:01:09.60
And so that's our main focus
00:01:09.80\00:01:11.50
is really trying to
reach people for God's kingdom
00:01:11.70\00:01:15.67
in a fun and winsome way. Amen!
00:01:15.87\00:01:18.31
And so I really appreciate
you guys giving me this platform
00:01:18.51\00:01:22.34
to share. This is huge on
3ABN with a large audience.
00:01:22.54\00:01:25.25
Over the years God has
been growing this ministry.
00:01:25.45\00:01:28.32
You know God gives us the
desires of our heart, right?
00:01:28.52\00:01:31.85
That's right. And the thing
is I've always had a passion
00:01:32.05\00:01:33.72
for fitness and
outdoors. And I always wondered:
00:01:33.92\00:01:35.52
"How could I use this
for ministry? " Amazing!
00:01:35.72\00:01:37.99
'Cause I was part of
ARME Bible Camp which I loved.
00:01:38.19\00:01:39.76
Right. And this
was not even planned
00:01:39.96\00:01:41.53
and yet God did
this. So it was truly God
00:01:41.73\00:01:43.57
who put this ministry together.
00:01:43.77\00:01:45.10
And one of the most
incredible things is
00:01:45.13\00:01:46.70
every event we've had amazing
weather for our main events.
00:01:46.90\00:01:49.70
Amen! And considering all
the stuff that we do that looks
00:01:49.90\00:01:51.97
risky God has protected
and kept us safe. AMEN! AMEN!
00:01:52.17\00:01:56.41
Praise the Lord! Well, we hope
this is a call from the Lord
00:01:56.61\00:01:59.11
to get involved and do
something for Jesus. Amen!
00:01:59.31\00:02:02.18
