FELECIA HOW DID YOU GET 10:42 INVOLVED? >> I USED TO WORK FOR THE SAME 10:48 MINISTRY STEPHEN WORKS FOR. WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT 10:50 AND DO A WORKSHOP AT ASI. WE JUMPED ON THE OPPORTUNITY, 10:56 BECAUSE WE jumped on the opportunity because we're like this 10:58 CONVENTION FOR MISSION-MINDED INDIVIDUALS AND TEACHING THEM TO 11:03 LEVERAGE ONLINE TOOLS. WE ATTENDED SEVERAL ASI 11:09 CONVENTIONS. IN 2020, ACTUALLY, A FRIEND 11:12 CALLED AND ASKED IF I WANTED TO GET INVOLVED WITH YOUNG 11:17 PROFESSIONALS, AND I JUMPED ON THAT OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE I AM 11:21 VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT HELPING YOUNG PEOPLE TO GET MORE 11:25 INVOLVED IN SPREADING THE GOSPEL, AND UTILIZING THE GIFTS 11:29 AND TALENTS GOD GAVE THEM. THAT WAS THE FIRST STEP GETTING 11:34 INVOLVED IN YOUNG PROFESSIONALS. >> YES, YES. 11:40 WHAT WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE LIKE AT experience like at the conference? 11:44 >> YEAH, WHAT IS SO AMAZING ABOUT IT, BEFORE YOU ATTEND AN 11:52 ASI CONFERENCE, YOU HAVE NOT MISCONCEPTIONS, PEOPLE WOULD 11:59 GIVE YOU THEIR IDEAS WHAT THE CONFERENCE IS LIKE. 12:02 THEN YOU GO, IT IS ALWAYS BETTER. 12:05 YOU ARE NETWORKING AND IMMEDIATING INDIVIDUALS. 12:08 I THINK IT IS ABOUT INSPIRATION YOU GET LISTENING TO DIFFERENT 12:13 TESTIMONIES. YOUR SOUL, HEART AND MIND IS 12:16 BEING FED, YOU'RE BEING MOTIVATED AND INSPIRED TO GO ON 12:20 THE MISSION FIELD. IT IS NOT about you being wound up like 12:25 LIKE A TOY, AND THEN THAT ENERGY DIES DOWN. 12:28 IT IS ABOUT THE SPIRIT REALLY FILLING YOU UP AND YOUR LIFE 12:33 CHANGES. THAT'S A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MY 12:35 EXPERIENCE IN THE CONFERENCE >> YES 12:36 >> PROBABLY THE WHOLE TEAM CAN TELL YOU, AS WELL, ABOUT THEIR 12:41 PERSONAL EXPERIENCES. I THINK EVERY that God had in store for them 12:47 as we were at GOD HAD IN STORE FOR THEM, 12:51 BECAUSE WE COULD SEE THE HOLY SPIRIT FILLING UP THE PLACE AND 12:56 ALL OF US COMING FROM DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS. 13:00 WHETHER IT IS RACE, OR grew up. 13:02 WERE BORN OR HOW WE GREW UP. WE HAD ONE THING IN COMMON, WE 13:09 CARED ABOUT THE WORK OF CHRIST, AND HOW WE COULD BE PART OF THAT a layman, not as a 13:15 WORK AS LAYMEN. THAT YOU CAN STILL MAKE A 13:19 DIFFERENCE FOR GOD'S WORK, AND I think every 13:23 THINK THAT EVERY SINGLE PERSON KNEW THAT THAT WHAT THEY WERE 13:29 THERE FOR >>> I THINK THAT'S AMAZING TO 13:33 SEE. OTHER LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE FELT 13:37 THEY because we were looking at something internal on that is 13:40 going to basically be LOOKING FOR SOMETHING ETERNAL 13:43 SAVING SOULS >> YES, AMEN. 13:47 I AM WONDERING, WHAT SPECIAL PROJECTS, AND I WANT TO 13:52 TRANSITION A LITTLE BIT FOR THE CENTRE FOR ONLINE EVANGELISM. 13:58 WHAT SPECIAL PROJECTS DO YOU HAVE GOING ON? 14:01 YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT REACHING SOULS. 14:04 WHY DON'T YOU SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT, STEPHEN 14:08 >> ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROJECTS WE ARE DOING, IS ASK AND ADD A 14:17 FRIEND. HOW I GOT I involve a center for an 14:19 online ventures and that helps you to get the idea of what this is about. 14:20 GET THE IDEA HOW THIS CAME ABOUT. 14:26 ME GROWING UP IN A NON-ADVENTIST HOUSEHOLD, I WAS PRESBYTERIAN, 14:34 BUT WHEN I FIRST HEARD ABOUT AD VENNISM, IT WAS FOREIGN. 14:43 I ASKED MY PARENTS WHAT SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS, NOT 14:51 KNOWING. AND went. 14:53 >> On and as SEARCHED. 14:55 AND ASKED PASTOR GOOGLE. DO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF ANSWER 15:01 THEY GOT? >> I AM SCARED TO FIND OUT WHAT 15:05 THEY DID >> THEY GOT THINGS LIKE THEY ARE 15:08 A CONSULT. THEY BELIEVE IN prophet some of them really 15:15 believe that we're not AND FAULTS PROPHET. 15:19 SOME OF THEM DON'T BELIEVE WE ARE CHRISTIANS. 15:21 MY PARENTS SEEING THAT ONLINE, TOLD ME THAT. 15:24 >>> I FELT, THIS IS CRAZY, I DON'T WANT TO BE INVOLVED WITH 15:28 THIS CHURCH. EVENTUALLY GOD LED ME ONE STEP 15:32 AT A TIME FOR ME TO BE BAPTIZED. SADLY, BECAUSE OF THE FIRST 15:38 IMPRESSION, EVEN AFTER 11 YEARS, BEING AN ADVENTIST CHURCH, MY 15:44 DAD HOLD GRUDGES AND HIS FIRST IMPRESSION WHAT GOOGLE in can't he? He can't forget 15:50 HE CAN'T FORGET. HE STILL DOES NOT AGREE TO WHAT 15:55 I BELIEVE IN, BECAUSE I BELIEVES WE ARE A CONSULT. 16:00 >>> SO, STARTING THIS PROJECT OF ASK AN ADVENTIST FRIEND, SOLVE 16:07 PROBLEMS LIKE THIS.

GIVE U A LITTLE ON THAT 18:42 >> FOR SURE. YOUNG PROFESSIONALS, ONE OF THE 18:46 LARGEST THINGS, THE one of 18:48 WERE MOST INTERESTED IN WAS NETWORKING, AND BEING INSPIRED 18:53 AND BEING EQUIPPED. A LARGE PART OF THE PROGRAM, A 18:57 LOT OF THE PROGRAM DID INVOLVE SOME NETWORKING ASPECTS WHERE 19:02 THE YOUNG PROFESSIONALS COULD MEET EACH OTHER AND were little 19:07 THERE WERE NETWORKING ACTIVITES, AND PEOPLE REALLY MADE 19:12 CONNECTIONS THAT WERE IMPACTFUL, TO THEIR OWN LIFE, FOR THEIR OWN 19:19 ORGANISATIONS, YOU KNOW.
