I want to spend my
life mending broken people.
00:00:04.30\00:00:14.28
I want to spend my
life removing pain.
00:00:15.04\00:00:24.79
Lord, let my words
heal a heart that hurts.
00:00:25.82\00:00:35.53
I want to spend my
life mending broken people.
00:00:36.26\00:00:46.14
I want to spend my
life mending broken people.
00:00:47.08\00:00:56.85
Hello, friends, and
welcome to another 3ABN Today.
00:01:06.96\00:01:10.73
My name is James Rafferty, and I
am joined with my lovely wife...
00:01:10.77\00:01:14.14
Rise.
00:01:14.17\00:01:15.50
And we are so glad
that you have joined us.
00:01:15.54\00:01:17.27
We have a great program today.
00:01:17.31\00:01:18.81
We're going to
be talking about...
00:01:18.84\00:01:20.18
Well, if you have ever thought
about living in the country,
00:01:20.21\00:01:23.51
getting out of the
city, establishing yourself
00:01:23.55\00:01:26.38
not just as an outpost,
but as a missionary outpost
00:01:26.41\00:01:29.58
of some kind, we have some
guests today that are going to
00:01:29.62\00:01:32.22
share their story,
their testimony of how God has
00:01:32.25\00:01:34.82
provided for them a
place out of the cities
00:01:34.86\00:01:37.46
that is a mission outpost.
00:01:37.49\00:01:39.26
And through which they're
able to reach out and minister
00:01:39.29\00:01:42.16
to people in their community,
and just the miracles that
00:01:42.20\00:01:44.90
God provided to get
them to where they are
00:01:45.20\00:01:47.54
and to what they're doing.
00:01:47.57\00:01:48.90
So we're really
excited for the program today.
00:01:48.94\00:01:50.84
We're really excited
that you've joined us.
00:01:50.87\00:01:53.14
Honey, would you like to
introduce our guests today?
00:01:53.71\00:01:55.84
Sure, we have Narlon
and Samantha Edwards.
00:01:55.88\00:01:58.61
And they have a beautiful little
baby that I just got to see.
00:01:58.65\00:02:01.92
And she had the cutest bib.
00:02:01.95\00:02:03.85
And the bib said that she's
always hungry like her daddy.
00:02:03.89\00:02:07.29
~ And I said, I like these guys.
00:02:08.36\00:02:09.82
I'm such a foodie.
00:02:10.36\00:02:11.69
Okay, and then we have Romone.
00:02:11.73\00:02:13.16
~ And Romone,
what is your last name?
00:02:13.19\00:02:14.80
- Gibbs. - Gibbs, Romone Gibbs.
00:02:14.83\00:02:16.23
And he just has a
brand new baby too.
00:02:16.26\00:02:18.03
That's really cool.
00:02:18.07\00:02:19.40
Yeah, we're so
excited to interview you guys
00:02:19.43\00:02:21.14
and hear what you're up to.
00:02:21.17\00:02:22.50
What God has laid on your heart.
00:02:22.54\00:02:23.87
Amen, amen.
00:02:23.91\00:02:25.24
But before we do that, we're
going have a word of prayer.
00:02:25.27\00:02:26.91
And we're also
going to go to music.
00:02:26.94\00:02:28.98
We have a music selection
called, Go Light Your World,
00:02:29.01\00:02:35.18
by Scott Michael Bennett.
00:02:35.22\00:02:36.62
So let's pray together.
00:02:36.65\00:02:37.99
And then we'll go right to
our music, and we'll come back,
00:02:38.25\00:02:39.92
and we'll start our interview.
00:02:39.95\00:02:41.29
Father in heaven, thank
You again for this opportunity
00:02:41.32\00:02:44.39
to learn about what
You're doing in the lives and
00:02:44.43\00:02:46.90
hearts of Your people
with Red River Outpost.
00:02:47.10\00:02:49.96
We just pray that You'll
guide and direct this program.
00:02:50.00\00:02:51.93
We give it to You.
00:02:51.97\00:02:53.30
And draw our hearts to
heaven, be with our viewers.
00:02:53.34\00:02:55.47
- We ask in Jesus'
name, amen. - Amen.
00:02:55.50\00:02:57.94
Alright, we'll be right
back after this music special.
00:02:58.41\00:03:01.18
There is a candle in every soul;
00:03:10.49\00:03:17.06
some brightly
burning, some dark and cold.
00:03:18.23\00:03:24.43
There is a Spirit
who brings a fire,
00:03:26.10\00:03:33.14
ignites the candle
and makes His home.
00:03:34.28\00:03:40.48
So carry your
candle, run to the darkness,
00:03:41.68\00:03:48.62
seek out the
hopeless, confused, and torn.
00:03:49.62\00:03:56.67
Hold out your
candle for all to see it.
00:03:57.67\00:04:04.41
Take your candle
and go light your world.
00:04:05.41\00:04:13.05
Take your candle
and go light your world.
00:04:13.45\00:04:20.26
Frustrated brother,
see how he's tried to
00:04:25.23\00:04:32.10
light his own
candle some other way.
00:04:32.87\00:04:38.94
See now your sister,
she's been robbed and lied to,
00:04:40.34\00:04:47.55
still holds her
candle without a flame.
00:04:48.18\00:04:55.99
So carry your
candle, run to the darkness,
00:04:56.02\00:05:03.06
seek out the
lonely, the tired, and worn.
00:05:03.70\00:05:11.77
Hold out your
candle for all to see it.
00:05:11.81\00:05:18.55
Take your candle
and go light your world.
00:05:19.11\00:05:26.39
Take your candle
and go light your world.
00:05:26.86\00:05:33.56
We are a family
whose hearts are blazing,
00:05:38.20\00:05:44.97
so let's raise our
candles and light up the sky.
00:05:45.71\00:05:52.11
Pray to our Father,
in the name of Jesus,
00:05:53.52\00:06:01.49
make us a beacon
in the darkest night.
00:06:01.52\00:06:09.60
Carry your candle,
run to the darkness,
00:06:09.63\00:06:16.74
seek out the
helpless, deceived, and poor.
00:06:17.21\00:06:24.88
Hold out your
candle for all to see it.
00:06:25.21\00:06:31.82
Take your candle,
go light your world.
00:06:33.05\00:06:40.00
Take your candle,
go light your world.
00:06:40.40\00:06:48.57
Take your candle,
go light your world.
00:06:50.17\00:06:59.61
Go light your world.
00:07:02.05\00:07:06.96
Go light your world.
00:07:09.89\00:07:17.73
That was absolutely beautiful,
Scott Michael Bennett.
00:07:21.70\00:07:26.27
Praise the Lord.
Powerful, powerful words.
00:07:26.31\00:07:28.48
Honey, I know you're
excited about this interview.
00:07:28.51\00:07:31.01
So I'm going to give
you the first question.
00:07:31.05\00:07:32.58
Okay, first I want to
know what you guys are doing.
00:07:32.78\00:07:35.72
I know you were here
a couple of years ago.
00:07:35.75\00:07:37.62
And maybe touch on
what you shared then
00:07:37.65\00:07:40.22
and how it's different now.
00:07:40.26\00:07:41.59
Yes, excellent question.
00:07:41.99\00:07:43.79
We were here almost
10 years ago or so now.
00:07:43.83\00:07:46.96
And at that time we shared
how passionate we were about,
00:07:47.46\00:07:50.57
you know, having a
ministry that has a country base
00:07:50.87\00:07:54.04
and going in the cities
and doing a work in the cities.
00:07:54.07\00:07:56.91
According to the
counsel that I've been reading
00:07:57.21\00:07:58.81
and praying about for years,
it was something that we were
00:07:58.84\00:08:01.34
very, very passionate about.
00:08:01.38\00:08:02.98
And during that time
we shared how we left
00:08:03.31\00:08:05.21
our well supported
careers, both my wife and I.
00:08:05.25\00:08:07.65
She was in corporate sales,
I was in the graphics field,
00:08:08.22\00:08:10.75
both in New York and Atlanta.
00:08:10.95\00:08:12.45
And God just laid a
burden on our hearts
00:08:12.79\00:08:14.62
to get into this kind of work.
00:08:14.66\00:08:16.19
And last time we were here,
we shared our desire for it.
00:08:16.52\00:08:19.29
And today we're here to
share the miracle story about
00:08:19.59\00:08:21.93
how it has actually taken place.
00:08:21.96\00:08:23.30
So we're just
praising God for what He's done
00:08:23.33\00:08:25.53
between then and now.
00:08:25.57\00:08:26.90
So I look forward to
sharing all the details
00:08:26.94\00:08:29.40
of what God has done today.
00:08:29.44\00:08:30.87
~ So you guys were city kids.
00:08:30.91\00:08:32.24
- Moving to
Kentucky. ~ New York City.
00:08:33.04\00:08:35.14
Yes, literally, city kids.
00:08:35.34\00:08:36.95
In fact, all three of us
are from New York, Brooklyn.
00:08:36.98\00:08:40.52
~ Well, I claim Queens,
but they're mostly Brooklyn.
00:08:40.55\00:08:43.69
~ And God put on your
heart to move to the country.
00:08:44.95\00:08:46.96
~ He did, He did.
00:08:46.99\00:08:48.32
It's amazing how
God works in that way.
00:08:48.36\00:08:49.79
You know, I was raised in
London, so I'm a city kid.
00:08:49.82\00:08:51.59
My wife was raised
in southern California,
00:08:51.63\00:08:53.06
so she's a city kid.
00:08:53.09\00:08:54.43
All five of us now sitting
at this table love the country.
00:08:54.46\00:08:57.00
~ Yes, yes. ~ Amen.
00:08:57.03\00:08:58.37
That's what God
has put in our hearts.
00:08:58.40\00:08:59.73
And I think that's why we're
so excited about this story.
00:08:59.77\00:09:01.34
Because we've seen our
journey, and we just love
00:09:01.37\00:09:04.74
to see other people's journey
and hear about how God moves.
00:09:04.77\00:09:07.21
So ten years.
00:09:07.24\00:09:08.58
~ I just want to
encourage our viewers,
00:09:08.61\00:09:09.94
you know, ten
years, that's a long time.
00:09:09.98\00:09:12.25
You know, when you have a
vision, when God puts it on your
00:09:12.28\00:09:14.78
heart to follow the
counsel that God has given,
00:09:14.82\00:09:17.02
it may take a while.
00:09:17.05\00:09:18.39
But God can provide,
and He will provide for you
00:09:18.42\00:09:21.76
if you just hold to that
vision and stay true to what
00:09:21.79\00:09:24.29
God is calling you to do.
00:09:24.33\00:09:25.66
You guys are a
great testimony to that.
00:09:25.79\00:09:27.23
So tell us about the
ministry you're doing.
00:09:27.26\00:09:29.16
For me, God took us on
a journey, Samantha and I.
00:09:30.03\00:09:34.30
Since then we were
serving at M.E.E.T. Ministry,
00:09:34.34\00:09:36.60
which is another
similar organization
00:09:36.64\00:09:38.14
in western Tennessee.
00:09:38.17\00:09:40.08
~ We know Thomas. -
Yes, brother Jackson.
00:09:40.11\00:09:42.68
We got trained as
gospel medical missionaries.
00:09:42.71\00:09:45.01
He always emphasize that:
not just medical missionaries,
00:09:45.05\00:09:47.28
but gospel medical missionaries.
00:09:47.32\00:09:49.28
So we trained as
gospel medical missionaries,
00:09:49.95\00:09:51.82
and we started
traveling the world sharing the
00:09:51.85\00:09:55.09
three angels' messages,
sharing about the medical
00:09:55.12\00:09:56.99
missionary work, sharing
about, you know, effective
00:09:57.03\00:09:59.83
soul winning by combining
Christ's method of evangelism.
00:09:59.86\00:10:02.76
And then my wife
developed a passion for cooking.
00:10:03.16\00:10:05.70
She wrote a cookbook.
00:10:05.73\00:10:07.07
Last time she
was here she actually
00:10:07.10\00:10:08.44
did a few cooking classes.
00:10:08.47\00:10:09.80
So I'm going to let
her start with that.
00:10:09.84\00:10:11.17
Since then, after M.E.E.T.
Ministry, I was at Weimar
00:10:11.37\00:10:14.71
serving as the evangelism
director for almost five years.
00:10:14.91\00:10:18.08
And in that time, we also were
doing medical missionary work.
00:10:18.45\00:10:22.45
We started a program called TCI.
00:10:22.48\00:10:24.15
It was an amazing work
with Pastor Don and Dr. Nedley.
00:10:24.65\00:10:26.96
They owned that initiative.
00:10:26.99\00:10:28.32
And it's still
going successfully today.
00:10:28.59\00:10:30.33
TCI is pretty much going
out and using Christ's method of
00:10:30.76\00:10:33.90
reaching people
in the communities.
00:10:33.93\00:10:35.26
So that's something
that we are very, very
00:10:36.00\00:10:37.63
passionate about;
we're continuing it.
00:10:37.67\00:10:39.03
And then through that now,
we'll share the story of how God
00:10:39.07\00:10:42.27
miraculously brought
us to Red River Outpost.
00:10:42.57\00:10:45.11
But I'll let my wife
share at little bit about
00:10:45.14\00:10:46.98
what she's been up to,
and how her passion continued
00:10:47.08\00:10:50.15
from last time she was here,
and to what she is doing now.
00:10:50.18\00:10:53.48
Yes, so the last time
I was here, as mentioned,
00:10:53.52\00:10:57.79
I did some cooking
classes on the cooking program.
00:10:57.82\00:11:01.76
We had a
wonderful time sharing that.
00:11:01.79\00:11:03.93
I actually authored a
cookbook called, The Better Way.
00:11:03.96\00:11:06.36
And the tagline is,
Recipes that will glorify God
00:11:06.63\00:11:10.20
and also inspire our taste buds.
00:11:10.40\00:11:13.47
And so we're truly passionate
about health evangelism
00:11:13.50\00:11:17.61
and really
providing solutions for people
00:11:17.64\00:11:19.41
to make that transition over to
more of a healthier lifestyle.
00:11:19.44\00:11:22.81
And so, the cookbook
was a really good segue
00:11:22.84\00:11:26.18
for us to do different
programs in the community,
00:11:26.21\00:11:28.78
sharing cooking
classes and nutrition seminars.
00:11:29.25\00:11:31.75
That cookbook is
actually be available on
00:11:31.85\00:11:33.96
the Red River Outpost website.
00:11:33.99\00:11:36.02
But I saw that by sharing these
practical tips with individuals,
00:11:37.23\00:11:42.40
lives truly have been changed.
00:11:42.43\00:11:44.30
I mean, we have countless
testimonies of people that
00:11:44.33\00:11:47.64
took hold of the health message
and really started embracing
00:11:47.67\00:11:51.41
a plant-based diet.
00:11:51.51\00:11:53.34
And they saw a change not
only in their own health...
00:11:53.54\00:11:56.01
I mean, we had people that would
be free from different lifestyle
00:11:56.04\00:12:00.75
conditions such as
diabetes, heart disease, cancer.
00:12:00.78\00:12:04.19
It's just so
powerful, what the Lord,
00:12:04.39\00:12:08.09
how He designed
our bodies to heal.
00:12:08.12\00:12:10.13
I also went on to get certified
00:12:10.99\00:12:12.69
in plant-based
nutrition as well.
00:12:12.73\00:12:14.76
Again, just fully
immersing ourselves just to be
00:12:14.96\00:12:17.40
used by God in the
most effective way.
00:12:17.83\00:12:20.07
And then the latest thing
that I have been involved with
00:12:20.64\00:12:23.67
is starting my own
food manufacturing company
00:12:23.87\00:12:26.81
called, New Breed Meats.
00:12:27.24\00:12:28.74
We have some
products, some samples here.
00:12:29.14\00:12:33.98
We have a line of
plant-based meat products.
00:12:34.02\00:12:36.52
You know, one of the
things that we found is that
00:12:36.55\00:12:39.49
the number one issue that people
have, when we're talking about
00:12:39.52\00:12:41.99
transitioning their diet, "What
am I going to do for protein?"
00:12:42.02\00:12:44.89
"What am I going
to do about meat?"
00:12:44.99\00:12:46.49
And so, we really wanted
to hit that problem head on.
00:12:46.53\00:12:49.96
We wanted to show people
that there is a way for you to
00:12:50.00\00:12:54.17
provide the nutritional
needs that the body requires,
00:12:54.57\00:12:57.97
but at the same time do
it in a much healthier way.
00:12:58.01\00:13:01.01
Plus also be tasty.
00:13:01.04\00:13:02.38
We believe that health
and taste should co-exist.
00:13:02.78\00:13:06.28
And so, we provide this
wonderful line of products.
00:13:06.48\00:13:09.72
We have
burgers, we have grounds,
00:13:09.75\00:13:11.62
we have the sausage patties.
00:13:11.65\00:13:13.42
And then this is our new
line of plant-based chicken
00:13:13.46\00:13:16.83
with really
exciting innovative flavors
00:13:16.86\00:13:19.56
more reminiscent of
our Caribbean backgrounds
00:13:20.06\00:13:22.40
such as jerk,
curry, barbecue, and so on.
00:13:22.43\00:13:26.97
But then we also have
lightly seasoned for you to also
00:13:27.00\00:13:29.97
prepare as you desire.
00:13:30.01\00:13:32.84
And these are at Eat
New Breed on our website.
00:13:33.78\00:13:37.35
But we're just really happy
to be able to be used by God
00:13:37.38\00:13:40.25
in this way, to really
create this platform by which
00:13:40.28\00:13:42.98
individuals can
learn how they can
00:13:43.02\00:13:45.29
take control of their health.
00:13:45.32\00:13:46.65
~ Yeah, and I was
looking at the back of the label
00:13:46.69\00:13:48.79
because, of
course, I'm a dietitian,
00:13:48.82\00:13:50.16
so that's the
first thing I look at.
00:13:50.19\00:13:51.53
Three ingredients,
guys. three ingredients.
00:13:51.56\00:13:54.20
~ I was so
excited about this, yeah.
00:13:54.23\00:13:57.30
~ Thank you, we're super
excited about this line as well.
00:13:57.33\00:14:00.30
Now Romone tasted
the jerk recently,
00:14:00.64\00:14:02.90
because this is out of his line.
00:14:02.94\00:14:04.27
~ Romone, what was it like?
- Romone, tell us about it.
00:14:06.11\00:14:07.94
I told them there is no
doubt, no question, no drawback,
00:14:09.44\00:14:15.28
hesitancy,
nothing left in my mind.
00:14:15.32\00:14:17.75
~ You're now
sold. - Yeah, I'm sold.
00:14:18.72\00:14:20.56
~ This is it right here.
00:14:20.59\00:14:21.92
So there's a reason.
00:14:22.62\00:14:24.69
It was birthed
out of a desire for...
00:14:24.73\00:14:27.40
Yes, so New Breed Meats,
again, it really allows us to
00:14:27.73\00:14:31.23
create a platform by
which to reach the world.
00:14:31.27\00:14:33.67
What we have found as
Adventists is that many of us
00:14:33.70\00:14:38.61
have known about the
health message, and so on,
00:14:38.64\00:14:41.04
but then we also see that
some individuals that may not be
00:14:41.08\00:14:45.41
sharing our faith
have also created products
00:14:45.45\00:14:48.92
that are in the market that
are leading now in the market.
00:14:48.95\00:14:51.65
And it was really sad
for us because I felt like
00:14:51.69\00:14:54.66
we should have a more commanding
position in the marketplace,
00:14:54.69\00:15:00.46
especially given our history
in health food production.
00:15:00.76\00:15:04.67
Interestingly enough, I'll
share a really quick story,
00:15:05.20\00:15:07.57
my husband I were in California
and we were visiting with
00:15:07.77\00:15:10.11
a friend of ours who also
is in the plant-based space.
00:15:10.67\00:15:14.28
He's not of our
faith, or anything.
00:15:14.31\00:15:16.28
But we had dinner
with him, he invited us.
00:15:16.54\00:15:19.25
And he brought something
out of his office, he said,
00:15:19.51\00:15:22.38
"Oh, you'll never believe
what I have in my office."
00:15:22.42\00:15:24.09
And we were wonderful, oh
what do you have in your office?
00:15:24.12\00:15:26.09
So he brings this
plaque out, you know, a plaque,
00:15:26.12\00:15:29.72
and it had a patent.
00:15:29.76\00:15:32.66
He said, "I have the first
patent that was ever created
00:15:32.69\00:15:36.67
for a plant-based meat."
00:15:36.70\00:15:38.03
And then he went on to say,
"Did you ever hear of someone
00:15:38.07\00:15:40.60
named John Harvey Kellogg?"
00:15:40.64\00:15:42.20
So we looked at
each other like, what?
00:15:42.64\00:15:46.94
So here it is, the world, and
I said, "Well, this is amazing."
00:15:46.98\00:15:49.71
But it just shows we really were
the pioneers in this industry
00:15:49.91\00:15:56.45
and in this space.
00:15:56.48\00:15:57.82
~ To be the
head. - That's right.
00:15:57.85\00:15:59.19
You know, God really
calls us to be the head.
00:15:59.22\00:16:00.56
So this is largely a result
to really be at that forefront
00:16:00.59\00:16:05.13
of the health food industry
with the message that we have.
00:16:05.36\00:16:09.20
And I believe it's powerful.
00:16:09.80\00:16:11.13
What's amazing about
that couple that we met with
00:16:11.17\00:16:13.13
as well, their
diet was so simple.
00:16:13.17\00:16:16.50
And they were saying, you
know, "We eat a very very simple
00:16:16.97\00:16:19.57
plant-based whole foods diet."
00:16:19.61\00:16:21.31
And they say, "No alcohol,
00:16:21.34\00:16:23.14
we don't ingest any
caffeine whatsoever."
00:16:23.18\00:16:25.35
And then he brought this
plaque out from Dr. Kellogg.
00:16:25.65\00:16:28.18
We're sitting there like, wow.
00:16:28.22\00:16:29.55
~ What's the
deal with the plaque?
00:16:29.58\00:16:30.92
I'm not understanding
that. So he had the patent?
00:16:30.95\00:16:32.79
So he had it
printed out and framed.
00:16:32.82\00:16:35.69
Oh I see, I got you.
00:16:35.72\00:16:37.06
He was just saying,
oh he appreciated...
00:16:37.09\00:16:38.43
- "This is the first one ever!"
- Yeah, this is the first one.
00:16:38.46\00:16:40.80
~ He looked to it as
something that was cool.
00:16:40.83\00:16:42.60
~ Exactly,
exactly. - Gotcha, yeah.
00:16:42.63\00:16:44.13
~ It just kind of
shows you kind of where we
00:16:44.17\00:16:46.43
used to be as a people.
00:16:46.47\00:16:48.00
And so what we're looking
to do is kind of re-engage
00:16:48.30\00:16:54.71
our position where
God would have us to be.
00:16:54.74\00:16:58.41
~ Going back to the cookbook
and the cooking classes,
00:16:58.45\00:17:00.85
and we're going to talk
more about it in the program,
00:17:00.88\00:17:02.78
but I just remember
one incident in Georgia
00:17:02.82\00:17:05.95
and few years back.
00:17:05.99\00:17:07.32
We went and did
a health seminar,
00:17:07.86\00:17:09.19
my wife did cooking
classes with the cookbook.
00:17:09.22\00:17:11.89
Oh by the way, the
cookbook is available on the
00:17:11.93\00:17:13.90
Red River Outpost website.
00:17:13.93\00:17:15.26
We still do
have those available.
00:17:15.30\00:17:16.63
But she did a cooking class.
00:17:17.87\00:17:19.53
And a year later we
went back to the same church,
00:17:19.57\00:17:22.47
they invited us to come back.
00:17:22.50\00:17:23.84
And I saw a guy show up, and
he said, "Do you remember me?"
00:17:23.97\00:17:27.48
I'm like, "Actually, I don't."
00:17:27.81\00:17:30.75
And then he showed me a
picture of his driver's license,
00:17:31.91\00:17:34.18
and he lost 150
pounds in one year.
00:17:34.52\00:17:37.19
I could not even recognize him.
00:17:37.22\00:17:38.75
And he said, "After the meetings
of the seminars that were done
00:17:39.19\00:17:41.39
last year and the cooking class
that your wife did, you know,
00:17:41.42\00:17:43.46
I went home and
took everything to heart.
00:17:43.49\00:17:45.06
I'm completely off
all my medications now.
00:17:45.09\00:17:47.86
And I've lost 150 pounds."
00:17:48.06\00:17:49.63
And we can share
countless stories of how
00:17:49.66\00:17:51.63
through these cooking classes
that we've been blessed to do,
00:17:51.67\00:17:54.40
you know, all around
the world, how lives have
00:17:54.44\00:17:56.24
been changed and impacted.
00:17:56.27\00:17:57.61
So it's been a rich blessing.
00:17:57.64\00:17:58.97
Yeah, and one other
thing I'd like to mention,
00:17:59.34\00:18:01.68
even as it relates to
this business ministry,
00:18:01.71\00:18:05.28
is it actually really does
open doors to reach individuals
00:18:05.61\00:18:09.62
that you otherwise would
never have been able to meet.
00:18:09.65\00:18:12.25
I have since been able
to do different programs
00:18:12.65\00:18:15.39
on different networks
such as Fox, NBC, and so on.
00:18:15.42\00:18:19.59
So again, it really
kind of opens that door
00:18:19.63\00:18:21.90
for us to share our story.
00:18:21.93\00:18:23.26
To tell, you know, why
we're doing what we're doing
00:18:23.30\00:18:25.57
is really to affect
lives and really to see
00:18:25.60\00:18:27.74
whole communities changed.
00:18:27.77\00:18:29.17
And we have been so
blessed to be able to do that.
00:18:29.20\00:18:31.84
By the way, my wife
just miraculously...
00:18:32.64\00:18:34.58
Yesterday she could not
speak, so she just miraculously
00:18:34.61\00:18:36.98
got her voice back today.
00:18:37.01\00:18:38.35
~ You were saying that
earlier. - We were praying.
00:18:38.55\00:18:40.05
You might hear it a little
bit, but I'm just praising God
00:18:40.68\00:18:42.85
that she's able to speak.
00:18:42.88\00:18:44.35
The last thing I'll say on
this before we transition is,
00:18:45.05\00:18:47.42
I remember we were in this
small little kitchen in our
00:18:47.46\00:18:50.46
Northern California apartment,
and my wife kind of shared
00:18:50.79\00:18:53.43
with me the idea of New Breed.
00:18:53.46\00:18:54.96
You know, I kind
of brushed it off.
00:18:55.00\00:18:56.46
And you know, she kept
sharing her passion about it,
00:18:56.77\00:18:58.67
and kept sharing
with me the reasons why.
00:18:58.70\00:19:00.14
But in my mind I'm saying, this
will distract from ministry.
00:19:00.17\00:19:02.97
We're focused on
medical missionary work,
00:19:03.00\00:19:04.47
we're focused
on reaching people.
00:19:04.51\00:19:06.98
You know, I didn't want to kill
her passion at the time, but
00:19:07.24\00:19:09.14
at the same time, I
couldn't give my approval.
00:19:09.18\00:19:11.15
And then one day I just sat
down and said, "Alright Hon,
00:19:11.51\00:19:13.11
just share with
me what's the vision?
00:19:13.15\00:19:14.65
How do you see this
tying into ministry?"
00:19:14.68\00:19:16.58
Because, you know, by this
time we've dedicated our lives
00:19:16.62\00:19:18.72
to full-time ministry.
00:19:18.75\00:19:20.09
And even though I know
business is not necessarily a
00:19:20.29\00:19:22.39
conflict, you know, I
know where my priorities are.
00:19:22.42\00:19:25.56
And she kind of shared
with me what audience that
00:19:26.06\00:19:29.86
we could reach, number one.
00:19:29.90\00:19:31.23
And number two, as a
self-supporting ministry,
00:19:31.27\00:19:33.64
we've dedicated our life
to self-supporting ministry,
00:19:33.67\00:19:36.84
this could be a
means if it finds success
00:19:36.87\00:19:38.97
to support ministries,
and so on and so forth.
00:19:39.24\00:19:41.21
And then I said,
"Alright, I'm on board."
00:19:41.24\00:19:43.18
And then I remember all
these ingredients coming in,
00:19:43.71\00:19:46.08
and she's in the kitchen
just playing around with thing.
00:19:46.11\00:19:48.42
In my mind I'm like, I
don't know where this is going.
00:19:48.45\00:19:51.09
And then I remember the
first time I tasted the burger,
00:19:52.29\00:19:54.62
I was like, whoa!
00:19:54.66\00:19:56.69
~ This world needs this.
- We are on to something.
00:19:56.99\00:19:58.79
~ We are on to something.
00:19:59.86\00:20:01.20
- You can't keep
that to yourself.
00:20:01.23\00:20:02.56
So I just wanted to
share a little bit of history.
00:20:04.13\00:20:05.63
And now by God's
grace, I see where it's been.
00:20:05.67\00:20:07.64
You know, she's been
on like a version of...
00:20:07.67\00:20:10.61
Another program
similar to Shark Tank.
00:20:11.31\00:20:13.27
Won the grand
prize, as she mentioned
00:20:13.61\00:20:15.14
she's been on Fox
Atlanta multiple times.
00:20:15.18\00:20:18.25
She's going to do a
cooking class on Fox Atlanta.
00:20:18.28\00:20:20.42
We just were a major at
the world's largest trade show.
00:20:20.82\00:20:23.18
We have so much
traction coming out somewhere.
00:20:23.22\00:20:24.99
Our next goal is to
get into more retail.
00:20:25.22\00:20:27.12
We're not there yet, but
just to see where it is now
00:20:27.42\00:20:29.76
from where it was,
it's just amazing to see
00:20:29.79\00:20:32.59
how God has
brought us to this point.
00:20:32.63\00:20:34.36
~ And where do you do all this?
00:20:34.63\00:20:35.96
Is it at Red River
Outpost, the place?
00:20:36.00\00:20:39.27
We actually have a
manufacturing partner that
00:20:39.30\00:20:41.80
does all of our
manufacturing side.
00:20:41.84\00:20:43.30
However, we
pretty much handle all
00:20:43.34\00:20:46.07
other aspects of the business,
00:20:46.11\00:20:47.81
having to do with the business.
00:20:49.44\00:20:50.78
And he mentioned the grand prize
winner, we did come out on top,
00:20:50.81\00:20:52.88
which was completely the
Lord that allowed us to do that.
00:20:52.91\00:20:56.99
We were up against
several other companies
00:20:57.02\00:20:59.22
and also were
doing wonderful things.
00:20:59.25\00:21:01.22
It's actually
sponsored by target.
00:21:01.56\00:21:02.99
So it was just an
amazing experience.
00:21:03.02\00:21:04.59
We actually won $220,000
to push our business forward.
00:21:04.69\00:21:08.73
In all non-dilutive cash.
00:21:09.63\00:21:11.97
So that was a blessing.
00:21:12.00\00:21:13.47
~ Alright, let's get
back to Red River Outpost.
00:21:14.47\00:21:16.07
Yes, I was just
about to say that.
00:21:16.10\00:21:17.64
Tell us about that.
00:21:18.34\00:21:19.67
Just to transition now,
so we were in California.
00:21:19.71\00:21:23.75
We had this
passion, as we shared,
00:21:25.01\00:21:26.55
to get this kind
of ministry going.
00:21:26.58\00:21:28.35
And we found a place
in Virginia at the time.
00:21:28.78\00:21:31.32
My wife and I
were excited about it.
00:21:31.35\00:21:32.72
We had somebody pledge a
large sum of money towards it.
00:21:32.75\00:21:34.99
And we were very, very excited
00:21:35.02\00:21:36.59
and started
moving forward by faith.
00:21:37.19\00:21:38.89
And then it seemed
like a disappointment,
00:21:38.93\00:21:42.03
but now that you
hear the full story,
00:21:42.06\00:21:43.93
it was actually
God's appointment.
00:21:43.97\00:21:45.30
You know, things didn't
happen according to plan.
00:21:45.33\00:21:48.20
Long story
short, it fell through.
00:21:48.74\00:21:50.41
And then I met Romone.
00:21:50.61\00:21:51.94
He was a student/faculty
at M.E.E.T. Ministry.
00:21:51.97\00:21:55.74
Another young lady there,
Danella, I've known for years,
00:21:55.91\00:21:57.88
we shared about this
passion for this work for years.
00:21:57.91\00:22:00.68
And then she's
there with Romone,
00:22:00.72\00:22:02.55
and they're going back and forth
about this same kind of passion.
00:22:02.58\00:22:05.25
And then I'm going to
have Romone kind of chime in
00:22:05.69\00:22:07.86
and begin to share the miracle
story of how things kind of
00:22:08.16\00:22:10.66
transitioned from there.
00:22:10.69\00:22:12.03
Yeah, so as Narlon
mentioned, Danella and I really
00:22:12.06\00:22:15.86
just really
connected on the work.
00:22:15.90\00:22:18.53
I had just come back
from doing Bible work
00:22:18.57\00:22:21.30
in Louisville area.
00:22:22.30\00:22:25.51
And I saw some things
that I thought would improve
00:22:25.77\00:22:29.98
the work, doing Bible work
and doing evangelistic work
00:22:30.45\00:22:33.95
in the community.
00:22:33.98\00:22:35.32
And so we started talking
about all of these things,
00:22:35.35\00:22:37.95
and one thing led to another.
00:22:38.19\00:22:40.52
And she was like, "Well,
we need to do something."
00:22:40.72\00:22:45.59
And so, yeah, we
need to do something.
00:22:45.63\00:22:47.43
So we ended up
taking a trip to Michigan
00:22:47.46\00:22:51.80
where we had a
company of students
00:22:52.23\00:22:55.57
from M.E.E.T.
Ministry at the time.
00:22:56.50\00:22:58.24
And we went there and
preached an evangelistic series,
00:22:58.44\00:23:02.98
did medical missionary work,
00:23:03.01\00:23:04.41
supported ourselves through
canvassing, and did Bible work.
00:23:04.45\00:23:07.48
And so we saw
that as a pilot program
00:23:07.78\00:23:10.35
that was very successful.
00:23:10.39\00:23:12.15
And while we were there, Rocky
Davis, he's publishing director
00:23:12.42\00:23:17.39
of the Kentucky
Tennessee Conference,
00:23:17.43\00:23:19.93
and we were talking back
and forth about doing something
00:23:20.23\00:23:23.06
like this, what we
were doing in Michigan.
00:23:23.10\00:23:25.10
And Rocky was like,
"You know, this has been
00:23:25.57\00:23:27.84
my vision for
years, to take young people
00:23:27.87\00:23:31.87
in various different
lines and do ministry together
00:23:31.91\00:23:35.11
and reach the cities.
00:23:35.31\00:23:36.64
His idea was kind of
like the Haskell model
00:23:37.51\00:23:41.08
you read in,
Evangelism, page 108,
00:23:41.12\00:23:43.72
which was our vision as well.
00:23:43.99\00:23:47.06
So we kind of chuckled
because we had the same idea.
00:23:47.09\00:23:51.56
And I brought up his name
because he's how I got to do
00:23:51.59\00:23:54.20
Bible working in Kentucky
and at M.E.E.T. Ministry
00:23:54.23\00:23:59.03
as a canvasing
director in the first place.
00:23:59.07\00:24:01.14
So now we're just talking
on phone just talking about our
00:24:01.17\00:24:03.41
vision, and everything.
00:24:03.44\00:24:04.77
And he's like, "Well,
if it works, why don't you
00:24:04.81\00:24:09.28
write me a proposal.
00:24:09.31\00:24:10.68
And I think I know
someone in Kentucky
00:24:11.05\00:24:14.25
that would be willing to
have you use their property
00:24:14.55\00:24:18.72
for this purpose."
00:24:18.75\00:24:20.16
And so, we write the proposal,
and we put just everything
00:24:20.79\00:24:26.03
that we could in this proposal.
00:24:26.06\00:24:28.13
And we sent it to
Rocky and he was like,
00:24:29.76\00:24:33.00
"Yeah, this is perfect."
00:24:33.03\00:24:34.40
So he sends it to the
owners of this property.
00:24:34.64\00:24:38.61
They are like,
"Yeah, this is great.
00:24:38.91\00:24:41.61
Let's have a meeting."
00:24:41.98\00:24:43.45
And so, we go and we
have this meeting them.
00:24:43.81\00:24:47.78
At first, we started talking
about renting the property.
00:24:47.82\00:24:52.39
Maybe we could
rent this property.
00:24:52.42\00:24:54.39
It was a nice big
property, 400 plus acres,
00:24:55.12\00:25:00.76
and it came with a barn and
had the lifestyle center there.
00:25:00.80\00:25:04.30
~ It had a lifestyle
center there already?
00:25:04.73\00:25:06.07
~ It had a
lifestyle center there.
00:25:06.10\00:25:07.44
This couple already
had a vision for it.
00:25:07.47\00:25:09.37
~ Yes, yes.
00:25:09.40\00:25:10.74
So they had a vision for this.
00:25:10.77\00:25:13.21
And so, now we started talking
about renting this place.
00:25:13.58\00:25:18.65
And the owners were like,
"Yeah, how does $1,500 sound?"
00:25:18.75\00:25:24.32
And we were like,
"Well yeah, that's great."
00:25:24.79\00:25:27.09
A month. Sure, you know.
00:25:27.39\00:25:30.06
~ And we saw the
Lord's hand in that.
00:25:30.76\00:25:32.83
But as you mentioned Thomas
Jackson from M.E.E.T. Ministry,
00:25:33.70\00:25:35.93
he was there in that meeting.
00:25:35.96\00:25:37.30
And God blessed him with wisdom.
00:25:37.33\00:25:39.10
He just said, "You know, the
owners are getting up in age,
00:25:39.13\00:25:45.01
and if you guys start a ministry
here, what's going to happen
00:25:45.11\00:25:49.14
if, God forbid, you
know, something should happen?"
00:25:49.18\00:25:52.35
And so, that's when the owners
were like, "Yeah, that's right.
00:25:52.78\00:25:56.15
Let's write up a contract."
00:25:56.18\00:25:57.62
And he said, "Well, the
better this ministry runs,
00:25:58.15\00:26:00.46
the better the
contract will read."
00:26:00.49\00:26:02.22
And so he said, "Let's meet
again and we'll bring a lawyer
00:26:02.96\00:26:06.39
and we'll write up a contract."
00:26:06.43\00:26:07.76
So fast forward,
just about a month later
00:26:07.80\00:26:11.17
we were in a meeting
with them, Rocky and I,
00:26:11.20\00:26:15.34
and now this lawyer is there.
00:26:15.37\00:26:17.04
And they're kind of like,
"Well, what's your vision?
00:26:17.54\00:26:20.48
You know, what's your
vision for the place?"
00:26:20.51\00:26:22.78
So we explained our vision
for the place, and you know,
00:26:22.81\00:26:26.65
that we want to do
medical missionary work,
00:26:26.95\00:26:29.68
we want to teach
evangelistic work,
00:26:29.72\00:26:32.12
we want to teach
self-supporting work.
00:26:32.15\00:26:34.09
And we explained
the vision to them.
00:26:34.12\00:26:36.49
And the owners, they were like,
"You know, I don't know if this
00:26:36.79\00:26:40.96
was a dream or just a
heavy burden impression
00:26:41.00\00:26:44.40
that I woke up with."
00:26:44.70\00:26:46.80
But she said, "You know, the
Lord showed me that this place
00:26:47.00\00:26:50.11
should be a training
school in connection with
00:26:50.14\00:26:53.27
the lifestyle
center that's here.
00:26:53.88\00:26:55.51
And what you guys
are explaining is exactly
00:26:55.74\00:26:58.98
what we intended for
this facility that we built."
00:26:59.51\00:27:04.65
And so, they
started just talking,
00:27:04.95\00:27:06.52
and we're just kind of there.
00:27:06.55\00:27:08.22
You guys were there also?
00:27:09.22\00:27:10.56
- Not at this time.
- No, not at the time.
00:27:10.76\00:27:12.93
Yeah, it's powerful
how Narlon comes in.
00:27:12.96\00:27:17.43
But at this moment, we're just
there, and the lawyer is there.
00:27:17.47\00:27:22.34
He's there to
write up this contract.
00:27:22.37\00:27:24.24
And all of a sudden the owners
start talking to each other,
00:27:25.44\00:27:29.64
and they said, "You
know, well we don't want to
00:27:29.68\00:27:32.48
donate this to anyone,
the conference, or ministries.
00:27:32.68\00:27:38.99
We want it to go
for a specific purpose.
00:27:39.02\00:27:42.02
And to be quite
honest with you guys,"
00:27:42.06\00:27:43.99
they said, "we have
a business in Lexington
00:27:44.03\00:27:47.20
and we're getting up in age,
and our children don't want it.
00:27:47.23\00:27:50.23
And so, we think
we're going to just donate
00:27:50.90\00:27:54.80
everything to you
guys for the ministry."
00:27:54.84\00:27:59.14
And so it was like,
whoa, what just happened?
00:27:59.17\00:28:02.54
You know, I remember
Rocky saying, you know,
00:28:04.11\00:28:06.01
you could hit him over
the head with a feather
00:28:06.05\00:28:08.28
and he could fall over.
00:28:08.32\00:28:09.65
It was just like, wow,
this is a miracles of miracles.
00:28:09.85\00:28:13.25
Like just, how
do you explain this?
00:28:13.29\00:28:16.02
But it was just so powerful
to see God's hand working.
00:28:16.06\00:28:19.93
And so, last thing I
guess I could say on that is,
00:28:20.53\00:28:23.23
you know, going
and seeing the property
00:28:23.47\00:28:26.60
and seeing that it had
all the bells and whistles.
00:28:27.10\00:28:31.57
God really
blessed above and beyond
00:28:31.61\00:28:35.44
what we could ask or think.
00:28:35.68\00:28:37.11
~ For an
outpost. - For an outpost.
00:28:37.15\00:28:38.48
~ It has a
building, it has a barn.
00:28:38.51\00:28:40.35
Water everywhere, natural gas.
00:28:40.68\00:28:43.69
Tractors, bulldozers.
00:28:44.65\00:28:47.56
So many different things.
00:28:47.92\00:28:49.32
~ So is it
actively being used now then
00:28:50.63\00:28:52.83
for the purpose that you guys,
the dream that you had for it?
00:28:52.86\00:28:55.63
Oh yes, yes, definitely.
00:28:55.66\00:28:57.00
We're going to come
to that and share all the
00:28:57.03\00:28:59.03
updates and
everything of that nature
00:28:59.07\00:29:00.84
a little bit as we progress.
00:29:01.67\00:29:03.74
But it's amazing how God
just brought things full circle.
00:29:03.94\00:29:07.68
So remember, my wife and
I, when we were looking to
00:29:08.44\00:29:10.81
publish the cookbook,
that same Rocky Davis came and
00:29:10.85\00:29:13.55
sat in our living
room in the Atlanta area
00:29:13.58\00:29:17.55
about the publishing.
00:29:17.65\00:29:18.99
And then when I transitioned
to M.E.E.T. Ministry,
00:29:19.02\00:29:21.36
I wanted to bring the
publishing work there.
00:29:21.39\00:29:22.92
I had no idea, but Rocky had
become the publishing director.
00:29:23.02\00:29:25.93
So we made that connection.
00:29:26.13\00:29:27.46
And then he brought Romone.
00:29:27.50\00:29:28.83
And then Danella and I
were always in contact.
00:29:28.86\00:29:30.97
And then full
circle, we all came together.
00:29:31.27\00:29:33.13
And once they started
that process, I was contacted.
00:29:33.47\00:29:36.64
And then they
asked me to come and
00:29:36.67\00:29:38.44
direct the
outpost ministry there.
00:29:38.47\00:29:40.74
~ That's how you guys came.
- That's how we got connected.
00:29:40.78\00:29:42.64
And it's just a blessing
how the Lord worked it out.
00:29:42.68\00:29:44.71
And it's just amazing that
I met Narlon just before that
00:29:44.91\00:29:49.22
at M.E.E.T. Ministry in 2017.
00:29:49.25\00:29:52.29
So the Lord just
worked that out so perfectly.
00:29:52.32\00:29:54.62
~ Wow. ~ Yes, yes.
00:29:54.66\00:29:55.99
So the question now is, are
these things being carried out?
00:29:56.83\00:30:00.66
So I'll just explain that.
00:30:00.70\00:30:02.03
We're a multifaceted ministry,
of course, that's focused on
00:30:02.06\00:30:05.43
using the country as a base.
00:30:05.63\00:30:07.30
And then bringing the gospel
to those who are in the cities,
00:30:07.60\00:30:10.11
ministering to the cities.
00:30:10.14\00:30:11.47
And the goal with outpost is
that when you go and minister
00:30:11.61\00:30:14.21
into the cities now, you
want to bring the people back
00:30:14.24\00:30:16.04
to a more solid serene
experience so that they'll get
00:30:16.08\00:30:18.95
something different
than what they're used to.
00:30:18.98\00:30:20.75
But the whole goal and
focus of it is evangelism.
00:30:21.05\00:30:24.15
And I'll just share a
little bit about why we came to
00:30:24.45\00:30:27.49
the conclusions of
how we do ministry.
00:30:27.52\00:30:29.72
We pretty much follow
Christ's method of evangelism.
00:30:30.43\00:30:32.69
And Christ's method
of evangelism is that
00:30:32.89\00:30:35.73
He focused on what the
needs of the people were.
00:30:35.76\00:30:38.53
He ministered to their needs,
won their confidence before
00:30:38.57\00:30:40.84
He bade them to "follow Me."
00:30:40.87\00:30:42.20
But one of the things
that most people don't realize
00:30:42.44\00:30:44.77
about Christ's ministry is that
His ministry wasn't as broad,
00:30:44.81\00:30:47.61
as far as
proximity, as people think.
00:30:47.64\00:30:50.88
He literally went
around the Galilean tour.
00:30:50.91\00:30:53.25
If you read in Matthew 4,
that's Galilean tour number one.
00:30:53.55\00:30:57.05
Matthew 9,
Galilean tour number two.
00:30:57.09\00:30:59.45
And later on in Matthew
9, I think it's verse 36,
00:30:59.49\00:31:02.99
you know if you have a study
Bible, that tells you that's
00:31:03.02\00:31:05.19
Galilean tour number three.
00:31:05.39\00:31:07.16
So He literally just
kept going in circles.
00:31:07.20\00:31:09.16
And what I find fascinating,
as I study Christ's ministry,
00:31:09.43\00:31:12.27
is that there's some people
that rejected Him the first time
00:31:12.30\00:31:17.01
in His Galilean tour.
00:31:17.11\00:31:18.44
And then when He came
around the second time,
00:31:18.77\00:31:20.41
those people that rejected Him,
because they heard of what He's
00:31:20.44\00:31:22.78
done, the miracles
and healing and ministry,
00:31:22.81\00:31:25.28
the second time around
they're more receptive.
00:31:25.71\00:31:28.32
And then those who
rejected Him the second time,
00:31:28.35\00:31:30.49
the third time around they might
be a little bit more receptive.
00:31:30.82\00:31:33.36
~ And even after He died,
00:31:33.76\00:31:35.19
there were people
that were more receptive.
00:31:35.22\00:31:36.99
That's exactly right.
00:31:37.03\00:31:38.36
The demoniacs,
they come to mind.
00:31:38.39\00:31:40.36
Of course, you know, Jesus
was kicked out of that region.
00:31:41.33\00:31:43.87
And you know, those demoniacs
who were healed, they said,
00:31:44.40\00:31:47.64
"We want to be with You. We
want to come and study more."
00:31:47.67\00:31:49.74
And He said, "No, go
back and tell them what
00:31:50.14\00:31:52.47
great things I've done for you."
00:31:52.51\00:31:53.94
And when Christ came back
around, those same people that
00:31:54.18\00:31:57.18
rejected Him, that's
actually where He fed the 4000.
00:31:57.21\00:32:00.08
And most people
don't realize that.
00:32:00.12\00:32:01.58
So what I find in ministry, as
my wife and I were ministering
00:32:02.15\00:32:04.79
around for many years, is
that as we're going through an
00:32:04.82\00:32:07.89
evangelistic series, we'll
use health as an entering wedge.
00:32:07.92\00:32:10.96
We'll do our cooking classes,
we'll do our natural remedies
00:32:10.99\00:32:14.03
demonstrations, we'll
meet with people and do health
00:32:14.06\00:32:15.90
consultations and help
them to make that transition.
00:32:15.93\00:32:18.80
We'll bring
them into the church,
00:32:18.83\00:32:20.30
I'll follow up with
an evangelistic meeting,
00:32:20.60\00:32:22.54
they get baptized.
00:32:22.84\00:32:24.44
I'll go back a few
months or a few years later,
00:32:24.67\00:32:26.94
and you know the story.
00:32:26.98\00:32:28.51
They're not there.
00:32:28.54\00:32:29.88
So I wanted to create
a more sustainable model
00:32:30.01\00:32:33.11
that you're actually
where you're working.
00:32:33.75\00:32:35.65
You know, I want to be there
and be able to see the people.
00:32:35.68\00:32:38.65
So where we are, our
ministry is constructed
00:32:39.09\00:32:41.52
in such a way that we
can do our own Galilean tour.
00:32:41.56\00:32:44.13
We're there.
00:32:44.16\00:32:45.49
If somebody falls back
into smoking again, I'm there.
00:32:45.53\00:32:48.40
If they fall back into
drinking again, I'm there.
00:32:48.43\00:32:51.03
If they fall back into
depression again, I can go
00:32:51.07\00:32:53.17
knock on their
door and visit them.
00:32:53.20\00:32:54.54
Whereas before, you know I
leave them in another country
00:32:54.90\00:32:56.91
or another state.
00:32:56.94\00:32:58.27
It's not as easy for me
to go back and see them.
00:32:58.31\00:33:01.21
And so the model that we
created now is that we're
00:33:01.58\00:33:04.15
finding creative ways of being
there in our local community,
00:33:04.18\00:33:08.65
our local focused ministry,
that we want this model
00:33:08.68\00:33:13.12
of a local focus to
spread all throughout the world.
00:33:13.15\00:33:15.86
In other words, we're not
relegating our ministry to
00:33:16.22\00:33:18.76
Stanton Kentucky where we
are, but we want others to catch
00:33:18.79\00:33:21.90
this model that, "I
want to be able to work
00:33:21.93\00:33:23.87
my community where I am.
00:33:23.90\00:33:25.33
I want to be there for my
people when they fall back
00:33:25.43\00:33:28.00
into their depression, when they
fall back into their stress,
00:33:28.04\00:33:30.37
when they fall back
into their alcohol."
00:33:30.41\00:33:31.97
Whatever it might be.
00:33:32.01\00:33:33.44
When they just fall
back into their old ways
00:33:33.48\00:33:36.31
before they accepted the gospel,
00:33:36.34\00:33:37.68
because it
happens, it's a reality,
00:33:37.71\00:33:39.08
that I could be there for them,
I could knock on their door,
00:33:39.28\00:33:41.25
I can go and put my
hands-on their shoulders,
00:33:41.28\00:33:42.95
I can put my
hands around their neck.
00:33:42.98\00:33:44.52
And pray with them,
and counsel with them,
00:33:45.12\00:33:47.49
and eat with them,
and break bread with them.
00:33:47.52\00:33:49.39
And just kind of,
you know, love them back
00:33:49.69\00:33:52.33
into the ministry.
00:33:52.36\00:33:54.10
That's kind of the
model that we're looking at.
00:33:54.13\00:33:55.83
~ Paul caught that
vision. Paul caught that vision.
00:33:56.03\00:33:58.80
You know, in 1st and 2nd
Corinthians, he brought the
00:33:58.90\00:34:01.40
Corinthians in, and then
they backslid, and then he wrote
00:34:01.44\00:34:03.54
them a letter, and then
he wrote them another letter.
00:34:03.57\00:34:05.24
And you see them go, you
know, through this process
00:34:05.27\00:34:08.44
that you're describing;
Paul went in those circles,
00:34:08.48\00:34:10.31
and went in those circles.
00:34:10.35\00:34:11.68
Discipleship, it was
all about discipleship.
00:34:11.71\00:34:13.62
~ That's exactly right.
00:34:13.65\00:34:14.98
Yeah, I love that.
00:34:15.02\00:34:16.35
So I want to get a little
bit deeper into the question.
00:34:16.38\00:34:20.22
Are we carrying
out the vision there?
00:34:20.56\00:34:22.49
So I'm going to have
Romone jump in here and kind of
00:34:22.52\00:34:24.43
share some of the
happenings in our community.
00:34:24.46\00:34:27.36
What are some of the
programs that we're doing
00:34:27.40\00:34:29.00
to reach the community,
and so on and so forth.
00:34:29.03\00:34:31.67
So if you don't mind
jumping in, Romone, and kind of
00:34:31.70\00:34:33.67
give a little
update on our ministry.
00:34:33.70\00:34:35.64
We've got some pictures too.
00:34:35.67\00:34:37.44
- Yes, absolutely. - Okay.
00:34:37.47\00:34:39.77
So it's been a blessing just
to work in this local community.
00:34:39.81\00:34:45.45
One of the things that has
happened is the establishment
00:34:46.08\00:34:49.02
of our restaurant and bakery.
00:34:49.05\00:34:51.69
And God just
really blessed with that.
00:34:51.89\00:34:55.26
I wish I could go into
all the nuances of that story,
00:34:55.89\00:35:00.33
just of God's
miraculous leading.
00:35:00.36\00:35:02.06
So you have a restaurant
and a bakery on the 400 acres?
00:35:02.10\00:35:04.17
This is actually in town.
00:35:04.63\00:35:06.43
So we rented a building in town.
00:35:06.90\00:35:08.60
And this kind of
serves as our reference point
00:35:09.10\00:35:12.07
for the ministry.
00:35:12.11\00:35:13.44
And it's a center of influence
where we get to meet people and
00:35:13.48\00:35:18.41
build relationships
with people as they come in
00:35:18.45\00:35:20.92
And when I say reference point,
I mean a lot of time we're
00:35:21.12\00:35:24.55
out in the community
and people may wonder,
00:35:24.59\00:35:27.72
"Who are you guys?"
Or, "What are you guys?"
00:35:27.76\00:35:29.56
And we just say,
"Oh, we're from the
00:35:29.92\00:35:31.89
Red River Kitchen and Bakery."
00:35:31.93\00:35:33.33
"Oh yeah, yeah,
we know you guys.
00:35:33.36\00:35:35.20
Oh yeah, we know about you."
00:35:35.23\00:35:36.90
Or, "We've been there before."
00:35:37.20\00:35:38.83
So just like
we're told in counsel,
00:35:39.13\00:35:42.97
the health ministry
helps to break down prejudice.
00:35:43.00\00:35:46.04
~ How big of a town is
this place that you're in?
00:35:46.07\00:35:48.14
~ It's actually
a very small town.
00:35:48.18\00:35:49.74
~ So everyone gets
to know who you are.
00:35:50.25\00:35:52.58
- Yes, yes. - Gotcha.
00:35:52.61\00:35:53.95
And word spreads very quickly.
00:35:53.98\00:35:56.38
~ The town is small, but if
you don't mind sharing a little,
00:35:56.42\00:35:58.65
Romone, even though
it's a small town, it is
00:35:58.69\00:36:00.69
a tourist attraction.
00:36:00.79\00:36:02.22
We're in an area
called, the Red River Gorge.
00:36:02.96\00:36:05.29
And it's a top ten rock climbing
destination in the world.
00:36:05.59\00:36:08.46
Top five in the U.S.
00:36:08.50\00:36:09.83
Some places actually
have it as number one.
00:36:09.86\00:36:11.40
So even though
we're in a small town,
00:36:11.73\00:36:13.17
we have over a million
visitors every year that
00:36:13.20\00:36:15.87
come to rock climbing.
00:36:15.90\00:36:17.24
~ And rock climbers
are health. ~ Oh yeah.
00:36:17.27\00:36:18.61
They like good
health food, right?
00:36:18.64\00:36:19.97
So they're looking for a place
00:36:20.01\00:36:21.34
where they can
get some good food.
00:36:21.38\00:36:22.71
We've met people from
Africa, from Asia, from Italy
00:36:22.74\00:36:25.48
that has come to that area, that
small town, for rock climbing.
00:36:25.65\00:36:28.58
Some say this is their favorite
or their second favorite
00:36:28.88\00:36:33.46
place, as far as rock
climbing is concerned.
00:36:33.49\00:36:35.82
~ What a potential. - Yeah.
00:36:35.86\00:36:37.19
- Sorry, Romone. - Oh, no.
00:36:37.23\00:36:38.56
Just adding here to the story.
00:36:38.59\00:36:41.10
It's so beautiful, you
know, how God has been working.
00:36:41.13\00:36:44.07
So with the restaurant, you
know, we've had the opportunity
00:36:44.10\00:36:48.57
of meeting people,
we've had the opportunity of
00:36:48.60\00:36:51.91
giving out literature.
00:36:51.94\00:36:53.61
You know, potential
Bible study contacts.
00:36:54.78\00:36:57.31
And in addition to
the restaurant and bakery,
00:36:57.61\00:37:01.38
we also saw God's hand
moving with our local church
00:37:01.58\00:37:07.09
that we attend to
plant a church in Stanton.
00:37:07.12\00:37:10.86
So we actually attend
a church 30 minutes away,
00:37:10.89\00:37:13.60
we attended a
church 30 minutes away.
00:37:14.46\00:37:17.27
And then, God was just
working everything out for us
00:37:17.60\00:37:22.14
to move locally to
where we are in Stanton
00:37:22.17\00:37:26.01
and planting this Stanton
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:37:26.04\00:37:30.21
And I don't know how much you
want me to share on just the...
00:37:30.51\00:37:33.52
~ But before we come to
the church, I'm going to
00:37:33.85\00:37:35.55
back up, because there's
some other community based
00:37:35.58\00:37:38.59
things that we did
that led up to the church.
00:37:38.62\00:37:40.69
We also did our TCI,
Total Community Involvement.
00:37:41.09\00:37:44.43
You wanted to say something?
00:37:44.46\00:37:45.79
- The ten day health
challenge. - Oh yeah.
00:37:45.83\00:37:47.40
So I'll started with TCI, which
is Total Community Involvement.
00:37:47.43\00:37:52.13
It was just us going out and
finding out where help is needed
00:37:52.17\00:37:54.30
and meeting the
needs of the people.
00:37:54.34\00:37:55.67
Whether it's raking their yard,
if it's minor home repairs.
00:37:55.70\00:37:59.44
Even though we got
into some major ones,
00:37:59.47\00:38:00.91
even though we
thought it was minor.
00:38:00.94\00:38:02.28
Yeah, taking an interest
into their secular affairs.
00:38:03.61\00:38:05.45
~ Exactly.
00:38:05.48\00:38:06.82
So we did that, and
that helped to really
00:38:06.85\00:38:09.38
get to know the
community better.
00:38:09.42\00:38:11.02
And then we did a
ten day challenge.
00:38:11.29\00:38:12.85
We had some friends, the
McClovers, that came out and
00:38:12.89\00:38:15.09
helped us with the first one.
00:38:15.12\00:38:16.46
Samantha, tell us a
little bit of what that's about?
00:38:16.49\00:38:17.93
~ What's a ten day challenge?
00:38:17.96\00:38:19.29
So the ten-day health challenge
is where we go out in the
00:38:19.33\00:38:22.00
community, somewhat like
a canvasser, and we survey
00:38:22.03\00:38:25.70
the community, and we ask
people if they want to make
00:38:25.73\00:38:29.70
changes in their life.
00:38:29.74\00:38:31.07
Most of the time they do.
00:38:31.11\00:38:32.64
And so what it is, we prepare
meals for them for ten days.
00:38:33.14\00:38:38.21
We essentially start out
with a little detox program
00:38:38.25\00:38:40.85
where we do juicing and
assign them to a health coach.
00:38:40.88\00:38:44.09
Assign a health coach to them.
00:38:44.22\00:38:45.55
And also just a prayer...
00:38:45.95\00:38:47.66
Well, the health coach prays
with them and encourages them
00:38:47.99\00:38:51.89
to continue on in the
program for the ten day period.
00:38:51.93\00:38:54.43
So we provide meals
for them, two meals a day
00:38:54.46\00:38:58.13
for ten days straight.
00:38:58.17\00:39:00.37
And then they're
also working every day
00:39:00.40\00:39:02.70
with their health counselor
who goes to drop off the food
00:39:02.74\00:39:07.18
for them in the mornings.
00:39:07.38\00:39:09.08
So they have that constant
contact with their health coach.
00:39:09.28\00:39:13.68
And they're also encouraging
them to exercise and to
00:39:14.78\00:39:18.35
pretty much follow
God's plan as we know it.
00:39:18.39\00:39:21.19
And so, that has been met
with a good amount of success
00:39:21.22\00:39:25.79
because you're able to really
meet people in their homes,
00:39:25.83\00:39:28.10
where they are, and
also provide for them
00:39:28.13\00:39:29.93
the foods that are
so necessary for life.
00:39:29.96\00:39:32.00
~ Is that ten day
thing a little bit like the
00:39:32.03\00:39:33.57
Daniel thing in
Daniel chapter 1?
00:39:33.60\00:39:35.30
~ It is, it's very
similar. Yeah, very similar.
00:39:35.34\00:39:37.31
So we had that, and
of course along with that
00:39:37.61\00:39:40.24
we do cooking
classes, we do health lectures,
00:39:40.28\00:39:43.14
we do natural
remedies demonstrations.
00:39:43.18\00:39:45.51
We run out of our
local community center.
00:39:45.55\00:39:47.58
And in our local
community center, it is a more
00:39:48.15\00:39:50.22
neutral place where
people can be more comfortable.
00:39:50.25\00:39:52.09
It's funny because
our restaurant to our base
00:39:52.42\00:39:56.02
is only about 12 minutes.
00:39:56.06\00:39:58.03
But for some, that's
the end of the world.
00:39:58.53\00:40:00.40
~ So it's nice having
our restaurant as a base,
00:40:03.93\00:40:07.80
but also the
community center, it's more open
00:40:07.84\00:40:10.67
and it's more generic still.
00:40:10.87\00:40:12.57
So we've used that as
a means of having these
00:40:12.87\00:40:15.48
community initiatives as well.
00:40:15.51\00:40:16.85
~ And how did that
lead to the church?
00:40:16.88\00:40:18.21
Yes, so now
Romone will jump back.
00:40:18.25\00:40:19.71
So through having all of
these contacts that we made
00:40:21.58\00:40:28.36
through the programs
that they just mentioned,
00:40:29.16\00:40:31.86
having the TCI program,
the ten day health challenge,
00:40:32.36\00:40:36.06
the health coaching,
the restaurant and bakery,
00:40:36.10\00:40:42.00
it just naturally led to having
these contacts come to worship
00:40:42.30\00:40:48.38
with us in a local area.
00:40:48.41\00:40:50.51
One of the things we learned
about the people that live
00:40:50.68\00:40:53.35
in that area is that,
not only is 12 minutes far,
00:40:53.38\00:40:59.02
but to drive to just
another county for church
00:40:59.05\00:41:02.26
is just unheard of.
00:41:02.29\00:41:04.79
They just want to
stay in that county.
00:41:05.09\00:41:07.96
And so, it just made so
much sense to plant a church
00:41:08.16\00:41:11.60
in the area that we are.
00:41:12.10\00:41:14.97
And God has just been
blessing that so much.
00:41:15.00\00:41:17.24
The relationship we have with
the former Methodist Church now
00:41:17.27\00:41:20.98
is amazing; we rent from them.
00:41:21.74\00:41:24.55
And we've just built a
positive relationship with them,
00:41:24.98\00:41:29.05
to the point that they
announce our Bible studies
00:41:29.08\00:41:32.95
in their bulletin on Sunday,
00:41:32.99\00:41:36.59
and encourage their members to
come out to our Bible studies.
00:41:36.62\00:41:40.20
Which we have about
ten or so attending.
00:41:40.23\00:41:45.80
~ So it really is the
opening wedge, isn't it?
00:41:45.83\00:41:47.20
- The health message. ~ Yes.
00:41:47.24\00:41:48.67
It's the right
arm. That's so powerful.
00:41:48.70\00:41:50.77
Yes, and Romone leads that
study every Thursday evening.
00:41:50.81\00:41:53.58
It's pretty much going
through our core beliefs.
00:41:54.11\00:41:56.21
And that's what we're
doing for our church as well,
00:41:56.24\00:41:57.58
going through our core beliefs.
00:41:57.61\00:41:58.95
We are a new
denomination to a new town.
00:41:58.98\00:42:01.28
- People wonder who we are.
~ No Adventist church around?
00:42:01.68\00:42:03.18
It's a dark
county, it's a dark area.
00:42:03.22\00:42:05.19
Well, not a dark
county, but dark area.
00:42:05.22\00:42:07.16
- Is the county dark? ~ Yeah.
00:42:07.19\00:42:08.59
- Yeah, so it is a dark county.
~ How big is this county?
00:42:08.62\00:42:09.96
~ I mean, is it 7000 people,
10,000 people, 5,000 people?
00:42:09.99\00:42:12.69
~ If I were to
guess, maybe about 10,000.
00:42:12.73\00:42:14.13
~ Yeah, about
10,000. - Okay, yeah.
00:42:14.16\00:42:15.96
- So a small town
then. ~ It's a small town.
00:42:16.00\00:42:18.03
So just kind of going
through our core beliefs and
00:42:18.07\00:42:19.83
let them get to know who are we.
00:42:20.04\00:42:21.37
So as a result of the
friendships that we've built,
00:42:21.40\00:42:24.67
Romone does a series
every Thursday evening.
00:42:24.87\00:42:26.98
It's well
attended by our community.
00:42:27.01\00:42:28.78
We've developed such
great friendships that it's just
00:42:29.14\00:42:31.75
amazing to see how many
friends we've won through that.
00:42:31.78\00:42:35.65
And also the fact that
some of our church friends
00:42:35.75\00:42:41.36
from the other denomination
actually weekly worship with us.
00:42:41.39\00:42:44.53
Yes, yes, I
forgot to mention that.
00:42:44.96\00:42:46.86
The church was Methodist.
00:42:48.43\00:42:50.80
They just transitioned out.
00:42:50.83\00:42:52.23
They're a community church now.
00:42:52.73\00:42:54.74
And they come
pretty much every Sabbath
00:42:55.24\00:42:57.87
and worship with us
and fellowship with us.
00:42:57.91\00:42:59.71
We visit them, we do Bible
studies with them, and so on.
00:43:00.08\00:43:02.88
The community is just, it's
just an amazing place to be.
00:43:02.91\00:43:05.25
We feel very, very
blessed to be there.
00:43:05.28\00:43:06.88
~ Well we've got
about eight minutes left.
00:43:07.52\00:43:09.22
I'm just wondering,
okay so up to this point
00:43:09.25\00:43:12.65
do you have a future vision?
00:43:12.92\00:43:14.39
Like, where do you
think you're going?
00:43:14.42\00:43:17.13
Or this direction
you're going to be taking,
00:43:17.16\00:43:18.56
what are the things you're
looking at for the future?
00:43:18.59\00:43:20.63
~ Yes, so ultimately
we want to replicate.
00:43:21.03\00:43:25.53
But we realize that there's
some more work for us to do
00:43:25.73\00:43:28.27
before we replicate.
00:43:28.30\00:43:29.64
One of the things we
didn't get into the details of,
00:43:29.77\00:43:31.51
we did have a pioneer phase
where we brought in students.
00:43:31.54\00:43:34.24
And those students who
were trained, by God's grace
00:43:34.28\00:43:36.24
almost all of them,
a good amount of them,
00:43:36.44\00:43:38.25
are in some kind of
other full-time work now
00:43:38.28\00:43:41.88
in the gospel lines, whether it
is Bible working or canvassing,
00:43:41.92\00:43:45.59
or whatever the case may be.
00:43:45.62\00:43:46.96
But we realize at the time we
didn't have enough industries.
00:43:47.36\00:43:50.06
So we kind of went
through a phase where we wanted
00:43:50.39\00:43:53.40
to pause from the
school perspective
00:43:53.43\00:43:56.33
and get our
industries up and running.
00:43:56.77\00:43:58.27
And by God's grace, we're able.
We have the restaurant now.
00:43:58.30\00:44:00.67
We have the sanitarium now.
00:44:01.24\00:44:02.64
We have a
construction connection.
00:44:03.34\00:44:05.34
We have one of our
leaders that actually
00:44:05.37\00:44:07.94
leads a
construction team as well.
00:44:07.98\00:44:09.44
Yeah, so we feel we're
at a place now where we have
00:44:09.48\00:44:13.18
more industries so
when the students come in,
00:44:13.72\00:44:16.15
they have something
solid that they can go through.
00:44:16.58\00:44:19.12
But...
00:44:20.19\00:44:21.52
~ So the students
now... Sorry to interrupt you.
00:44:21.56\00:44:22.96
The students now you're training
them, you're teaching them,
00:44:22.99\00:44:25.23
but you're also training
them in practical skills.
00:44:25.26\00:44:27.63
- Exactly, yeah.
- Gotcha, love that.
00:44:27.66\00:44:29.00
So we call it more
so like evanga-living.
00:44:29.03\00:44:31.23
We want to bring them into life.
00:44:31.27\00:44:32.83
So we have three strategies,
00:44:33.30\00:44:35.54
which is to
create a working model.
00:44:35.57\00:44:37.34
So they can come and
they're in the model.
00:44:37.37\00:44:39.14
We're not telling them about it,
they're actually going to the
00:44:39.17\00:44:41.44
doors and visiting with us.
00:44:41.48\00:44:42.81
They're actually seeing
how the restaurant transitions
00:44:42.84\00:44:44.48
into a church, and how
the cooking classes transition
00:44:44.51\00:44:47.52
into Bible studies.
00:44:47.55\00:44:48.88
So we want them
to be a part of it.
00:44:48.92\00:44:50.25
So to create that model
that they can actually see,
00:44:50.29\00:44:52.75
then inspire them
to go and do the same,
00:44:53.05\00:44:55.26
and then equip them
to have the resources.
00:44:55.56\00:44:58.13
Whether it's materials,
or finances, or you know,
00:44:58.16\00:45:01.33
if we get calls for other
people that want to donate land.
00:45:01.36\00:45:04.20
You know, kind of
have that resource
00:45:04.50\00:45:05.83
like the old Madison model
that we can actually help them
00:45:05.87\00:45:08.70
to get to the next
phase and replicate this model
00:45:08.74\00:45:11.01
all throughout the world.
00:45:11.04\00:45:12.37
~ That would be great.
00:45:12.41\00:45:13.74
So the goal now is to get
that school back up and running.
00:45:13.78\00:45:15.44
But we do have some limitations.
00:45:15.91\00:45:17.91
And the limitations is,
we do have that main house
00:45:18.31\00:45:21.28
and another
house on the property,
00:45:21.32\00:45:22.75
but we don't
have enough housing.
00:45:22.78\00:45:24.35
So the next phase for us,
what we're looking to do now
00:45:24.79\00:45:26.99
is to generate and raise funds
00:45:27.36\00:45:30.53
to get to the next
phase of construction.
00:45:30.63\00:45:33.40
We did break ground, by faith.
00:45:33.66\00:45:35.13
We're putting in roads
and we just built a bridge
00:45:35.16\00:45:37.43
to get to other
parts of the property.
00:45:37.47\00:45:39.13
So our goal now is to
get some faculty housing
00:45:39.43\00:45:42.20
and student housing
so that we can bring in
00:45:42.24\00:45:44.11
more staff and more students now
00:45:44.14\00:45:45.81
to get our
ministry to the next phase.
00:45:45.84\00:45:47.74
So we do have that limitation.
00:45:48.04\00:45:49.38
So the next phase is to get that
training school up and running
00:45:49.41\00:45:52.01
where we see more
people with this local focus
00:45:52.28\00:45:55.12
medical missionary
outpost evangelism ministry
00:45:56.22\00:46:00.06
to seed many more places.
00:46:00.09\00:46:02.79
But we realize our
limitation is housing.
00:46:03.19\00:46:04.89
So that's our next phase to get
our ministry to the next level.
00:46:04.93\00:46:09.33
Amen. Praise God.
00:46:09.43\00:46:11.03
The ministry has been
blessed in so many ways.
00:46:11.07\00:46:14.20
And I think we have a
short video now we can share
00:46:14.24\00:46:16.37
just kind of
summarizing the whole project.
00:46:16.40\00:46:18.77
Red River Outpost
is a ministry patterned
00:46:20.58\00:46:23.24
after the model of Christ.
00:46:23.28\00:46:25.05
We are nestled in the beautiful
valley of eastern Kentucky
00:46:25.35\00:46:28.45
in the Red
River Gorge surrounded
00:46:28.75\00:46:30.52
by the Appalachian Mountains.
00:46:30.55\00:46:32.45
Our vision is to develop
and demonstrate a biblical
00:46:33.15\00:46:36.12
ministry model that helps
communities towards health,
00:46:36.16\00:46:39.69
peace, and
spiritual restoration.
00:46:39.96\00:46:42.70
The mission of Red River Outpost
combines practical education,
00:46:43.87\00:46:47.20
health service, and
industry to make an impact
00:46:47.24\00:46:50.14
in our local
community and around the world.
00:46:50.17\00:46:53.91
We are committed to
providing useful education
00:46:55.04\00:46:57.48
for our students, a
transformative lifestyle
00:46:57.51\00:47:00.32
program for our health
guests, and practical services
00:47:00.35\00:47:03.45
that meet the needs of
the people in our communities.
00:47:03.49\00:47:06.65

Well that is exactly where
I'm going to be going, honey.
00:47:22.64\00:47:25.14
I'm going to be going
to that website first.
00:47:25.17\00:47:26.98
You guys, we're going to
become faithful customers.
00:47:27.01\00:47:29.38
We also want to
come out and visit you.
00:47:29.98\00:47:31.31
We just think that would
be a great place to check out
00:47:31.35\00:47:33.11
and do personally.
00:47:33.15\00:47:34.52
What else have you got,
just in our few minutes left?
00:47:34.72\00:47:37.69
Romone, I think
you have something else
00:47:37.99\00:47:40.02
you wanted to share.
00:47:40.06\00:47:41.39
Yes, you know, in the process
of our conversation here,
00:47:41.42\00:47:46.80
it has really dawned on me
that we want to let our viewers
00:47:46.83\00:47:49.36
know that everything that
God has laid upon our hearts
00:47:49.40\00:47:54.30
and what we see is,
the goal is the soul.
00:47:54.34\00:47:57.01
And it's about revealing
Christ to our community
00:47:57.31\00:48:00.88
and finding different avenues
of reaching our community
00:48:00.91\00:48:04.51
and, you know,
really building that bridge
00:48:04.95\00:48:08.48
to our local
community, as Narlon shared.
00:48:08.68\00:48:10.82
So I just thought that
was important for me to share
00:48:10.85\00:48:14.52
why we're doing all
these things, what we're doing.
00:48:14.56\00:48:18.36
The goal is really the soul.
00:48:18.39\00:48:20.10
I love that. The
goal is the soul.
00:48:20.13\00:48:22.26
Yeah, good stuff.
00:48:22.30\00:48:23.80
We also have an
annual camp meeting.
00:48:23.83\00:48:25.27
So I'd advise
checking our website to see
00:48:26.00\00:48:29.94
the dates of our
annual camp meeting,
00:48:29.97\00:48:31.57
and also to see
all the happenings.
00:48:32.11\00:48:34.08
Sign up for our newsletter.
00:48:34.38\00:48:35.71
And just keep abreast of
all the things that we're doing.
00:48:35.74\00:48:38.01
In the time remaining, there's a
few things we want to highlight.
00:48:38.05\00:48:41.02
I know my wife
wanted to talk a little bit
00:48:41.05\00:48:42.88
about our wellness center.
00:48:42.92\00:48:44.25
Yes, so we are so
excited that we now have
00:48:44.52\00:48:48.62
a family that will be
running our lifestyle center.
00:48:49.42\00:48:52.13
We're going to be
having monthly sessions.
00:48:52.16\00:48:55.60
So you'll have to
check on our website
00:48:56.03\00:48:58.27
that will give a
listing of those dates
00:48:58.30\00:49:01.57
for those who come
for that 14 day period.
00:49:02.07\00:49:04.27
Or if you can only do less,
we can modify programs as well.
00:49:04.47\00:49:09.54
So we're really
excited about that
00:49:09.58\00:49:11.05
constant monthly sessions.
00:49:11.75\00:49:14.82
Yes, and it's worth
highlighting our farm.
00:49:15.02\00:49:18.02
It's such a major component
of everything that we do
00:49:18.05\00:49:20.49
with the organization.
00:49:20.52\00:49:21.86
The goal is to
have farm to table.
00:49:22.06\00:49:23.73
We want to make sure that our
farm is feeding our sanitarium,
00:49:23.76\00:49:27.13
our farm is feeding us, our
farm is feeding our restaurant,
00:49:27.16\00:49:29.63
and our farm is ultimately
feeding our community.
00:49:29.83\00:49:31.60
Amen.
00:49:31.63\00:49:32.97
And the Lord blessed, we
have recently received some
00:49:33.00\00:49:36.24
donations that could
really expand our farm.
00:49:36.27\00:49:38.57
We are in need of a
farmer, even though we have the
00:49:39.34\00:49:41.04
the funds to get
all the farm equipment
00:49:41.08\00:49:42.84
and greenhouses, and
other things of that nature.
00:49:42.88\00:49:44.38
We are looking for a
farmer, if there's anyone that's
00:49:44.88\00:49:47.55
a farmer that's looking
to join this kind of work,
00:49:47.58\00:49:49.98
I would love to talk with
you to see if your services
00:49:50.19\00:49:52.79
could be a fit for what
we're looking to do as well.
00:49:52.82\00:49:54.66
But ultimately, as Romone
mentioned, everything that we
00:49:55.82\00:49:57.66
do has one purpose in mind.
00:49:57.69\00:49:59.13
That's make a
difference in people's lives
00:49:59.16\00:50:00.66
and make a
difference in the community.
00:50:00.70\00:50:02.13
And ultimately, to love
someone enough to not be
00:50:02.36\00:50:05.93
content with them just
having a healthy and happy
00:50:05.97\00:50:08.14
life here on earth.
00:50:08.17\00:50:09.50
We want them to
have eternal life.
00:50:09.54\00:50:11.67
So as we look at our farm,
you know, the goal is the soul.
00:50:11.94\00:50:14.58
The goal is to make a
difference in their lives,
00:50:14.61\00:50:16.68
a lasting heavenly impact.
00:50:16.71\00:50:18.51
As you look at our
restaurant, the same thing.
00:50:18.68\00:50:21.32
To make a lasting impact on
their life that transitions them
00:50:21.35\00:50:24.75
from earth to heaven.
00:50:24.79\00:50:26.15
As you look at our farm, or
any aspect of what we're doing,
00:50:26.39\00:50:29.16
it's the same thing.
00:50:29.26\00:50:30.66
And our media, we
also have a media studio.
00:50:31.06\00:50:33.66
We do livestream
on Wednesday evenings.
00:50:34.06\00:50:37.23
So you can always
catch our livestream.
00:50:37.27\00:50:38.73
Just type in Red
River Outpost in YouTube.
00:50:38.77\00:50:41.14
We have very timely messages
in light of outpost centers,
00:50:41.17\00:50:44.44
city mission, evangelism,
the three angels' messages.
00:50:44.47\00:50:47.41
We go through Bible
prophecy in its order.
00:50:47.44\00:50:49.34
So we have those
available as well.
00:50:49.54\00:50:51.31
And in addition, we're
going to start a new series
00:50:51.35\00:50:53.35
called, Winds of Doctrine.
00:50:53.38\00:50:54.72
Within the
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:50:55.05\00:50:56.89
there's a lot of teachings
that has been going on now
00:50:56.92\00:50:59.79
in light of the Trinity, and the
2520, and so on and so forth.
00:50:59.82\00:51:03.56
So Romone and I, we're going
to sit down and strategically
00:51:03.59\00:51:06.39
systematically go through
them and share what the Bible
00:51:06.43\00:51:08.80
and the spirit of
prophecy has to say
00:51:08.83\00:51:10.50
on those subjects.
00:51:10.87\00:51:12.20
So that kind of summarizes it.
00:51:12.23\00:51:14.57
- Praise God. -
Yeah, that's excellent.
00:51:14.60\00:51:16.10
You've got a lot going on,
and we're just going to have to
00:51:16.14\00:51:17.87
really pray that God gives
the ability to keep all those
00:51:17.91\00:51:22.04
things going and
health and balanced,
00:51:22.08\00:51:24.21
and that you get the
people that you need to help.
00:51:24.25\00:51:27.22
The harvest is ripe
and the laborers are few.
00:51:27.25\00:51:30.09
So that's we're hoping.
00:51:30.62\00:51:31.95
Anyway, we want our viewers
to be able to get ahold of you,
00:51:31.99\00:51:34.16
to be able to contact you.
00:51:34.19\00:51:35.52
Especially to get
that New Breed plant-based
00:51:35.56\00:51:39.03
protein in their diet.
00:51:39.06\00:51:40.60
So we're going to put
up your contact information
00:51:40.63\00:51:43.03
so that all of our
viewers can get ahold of you,
00:51:43.16\00:51:45.80
give you support, also
to be part of your programs,
00:51:46.10\00:51:49.04
and encourage other
people to support your ministry.
00:51:49.24\00:51:52.37
So here it is right now.
00:51:52.41\00:51:53.74
