00:00:01.56\00:00:02.90
we're living in
unprecedented times.

Hello and welcome to
3ABN Thursday Night Live.
00:01:14.94\00:01:18.51
I'm Jill Morikone.
00:01:18.54\00:01:19.87
And tonight's
program, I just hope right now
00:01:19.91\00:01:21.84
that you have your seat belt on.
00:01:21.88\00:01:24.45
Because we have an incredible
program for you at home.
00:01:24.48\00:01:27.92
From terrorist to Adventist.
00:01:27.95\00:01:30.75
You might say,
"What in the world
00:01:30.79\00:01:32.32
is that all about?"
00:01:32.35\00:01:33.76
We're going to see videos
and footage and hear stories
00:01:33.79\00:01:37.39
of how the gospel is
opening up in the country
00:01:37.43\00:01:40.43
of the Philippines.
00:01:40.46\00:01:41.80
And
specifically, how rebel armies,
00:01:41.83\00:01:45.53
rebel generals.
00:01:45.57\00:01:47.30
I think maybe
even some assassins
00:01:47.34\00:01:50.24
have converted and
accepted the Lord Jesus
00:01:50.27\00:01:54.08
and how peace is coming
00:01:54.11\00:01:55.94
into certain regions
there in the Philippines.
00:01:55.98\00:01:59.05
And this is due to the
work of the Holy Spirit,
00:01:59.08\00:02:01.58
number one, but
also the work of AWR,
00:02:01.62\00:02:05.05
Adventist World Radio.
00:02:05.09\00:02:07.29
We love AWR here at 3ABN.
00:02:07.32\00:02:10.66
We've partnered
with them for years.
00:02:10.69\00:02:12.49
We believe in the
mission and the message
00:02:12.53\00:02:15.56
that they proclaim.
00:02:15.60\00:02:16.93
And it's my great
privilege to be here tonight
00:02:16.97\00:02:19.70
with the president of
AWR, Elder Duane McKey.
00:02:19.73\00:02:22.54
And we're just so
grateful you're here tonight
00:02:22.57\00:02:24.64
and excited about the stories.
00:02:24.67\00:02:26.31
We're excited too
to be here with you.
00:02:26.34\00:02:27.71
Thank you so much, Jill.
00:02:27.74\00:02:29.18
It's just a thrill to
work together in partnership
00:02:29.21\00:02:32.65
with these projects.
00:02:32.68\00:02:34.02
Thank you so much.
00:02:34.05\00:02:35.38
Amen. Absolutely.
00:02:35.42\00:02:36.75
We've worked
together for a long time.
00:02:36.79\00:02:38.12
Yeah, we have. It's been good.
00:02:38.15\00:02:39.49
It has. Actually, yeah.
00:02:39.52\00:02:41.69
This AWR has been
around for about 50 years.
00:02:41.72\00:02:45.63
And that ties into the rebels
00:02:45.66\00:02:47.40
because they've been
around for about 50 years.
00:02:47.43\00:02:49.40
It ties into Kathy and
I, because we got married
00:02:49.43\00:02:54.00
about 50 years ago.
00:02:54.04\00:02:56.64
But she was only 13 years old.
00:02:56.67\00:02:58.51
Well, I was thinking
she might have been five.
00:02:58.54\00:03:00.14
Yeah. Five, that's right.
00:03:00.18\00:03:02.98
Sitting next to you
is your beautiful wife,
00:03:03.01\00:03:05.28
Kathy McKey.
00:03:05.31\00:03:06.65
And you are the
General Conference Social Media
00:03:06.68\00:03:09.25
and Outreach coordinator.
00:03:09.28\00:03:10.65
I know you work out of
Elder Ted Wilson's office.
00:03:10.69\00:03:13.05
You're just a beautiful woman
00:03:13.09\00:03:14.42
with a precious
heart and spirit,
00:03:14.46\00:03:16.16
and we're so glad
you're here tonight.
00:03:16.19\00:03:17.73
It's wonderful to be here.
00:03:17.76\00:03:19.86
We have missed
coming because of COVID.
00:03:19.89\00:03:22.70
Yes. I know.
00:03:22.73\00:03:24.07
So it's a privilege to
get back together again
00:03:24.10\00:03:25.97
and to hear and to see
00:03:26.00\00:03:28.50
what God is doing
through the ministry of AWR.
00:03:28.54\00:03:31.31
Sitting next to you is the
honorable Kathryn Proffitt.
00:03:31.34\00:03:34.91
Now I know you
were ambassador of...
00:03:34.94\00:03:36.51
Several years ago, to
the Republic of Malta.
00:03:36.54\00:03:39.55
You're also the board chair
00:03:39.58\00:03:41.32
of Your Best Pathway to Health,
00:03:41.35\00:03:42.92
and we've
interacted on that level.
00:03:42.95\00:03:44.45
You're my sister in Jesus. Amen.
00:03:44.49\00:03:46.79
And you're a
board member on AWR,
00:03:46.82\00:03:48.42
and that's why
you're here tonight.
00:03:48.46\00:03:49.79
That's right. Thank you, Jill.
00:03:49.82\00:03:51.86
Very, very glad to have you here
00:03:51.89\00:03:53.53
and looking forward to
what God's going to do.
00:03:53.56\00:03:56.16
Sitting next to
you, last but not least,
00:03:56.20\00:03:58.13
is my sister, Sue Hinkle.
00:03:58.17\00:03:59.67
And you are the Adventist World
Radio outreach coordinator.
00:03:59.70\00:04:03.81
And how long have
you been with AWR?
00:04:03.84\00:04:05.74
About four and a half years now.
00:04:05.77\00:04:08.44
And let me just say,
it's the most exciting
00:04:08.48\00:04:10.98
four and a half
years of my life.
00:04:11.01\00:04:14.18
Because just to see the miracles
00:04:14.22\00:04:15.98
that God is doing,
00:04:16.02\00:04:17.65
like we're going
to talk about tonight.
00:04:17.69\00:04:19.32
This is unheard
of, unbelievable.
00:04:19.35\00:04:22.56
That's right. So
we're excited to share it.
00:04:22.59\00:04:24.73
Amen. I cannot wait
to hear the stories.
00:04:24.76\00:04:26.83
But first, let's just
open up the program in prayer.
00:04:26.86\00:04:29.66
Before we had the
live program here tonight,
00:04:29.70\00:04:32.33
we prayed.
00:04:32.37\00:04:33.70
But especially, let's
go to the Lord in prayer.
00:04:33.74\00:04:35.17
Amen.
00:04:35.20\00:04:36.54
Holy Father, we come
before You in the name of Jesus,
00:04:36.57\00:04:38.54
and we're grateful that You seek
00:04:38.57\00:04:41.11
and search for
those who are lost.
00:04:41.14\00:04:43.71
We're grateful
that no matter our past,
00:04:43.75\00:04:46.78
that we have a future in You.
00:04:46.82\00:04:48.32
We're grateful for
the doors You have opened
00:04:48.35\00:04:51.42
and what You have done
there in the Philippines,
00:04:51.45\00:04:55.32
and especially, in Mindoro.
00:04:55.36\00:04:57.19
And we ask Lord Jesus,
00:04:57.23\00:04:58.99
that You will continue to water
the seeds that have been sown.
00:04:59.03\00:05:02.80
And tonight, our
hearts would be energized
00:05:02.83\00:05:05.20
and encouraged by
seeing what you are doing
00:05:05.23\00:05:08.07
and what you are going to do.
00:05:08.10\00:05:09.57
And we just thank you.
00:05:09.60\00:05:10.94
We ask for Your
presence now in Jesus' name.
00:05:10.97\00:05:14.24
Amen. Amen.
00:05:14.28\00:05:16.04
So take us back.
00:05:16.08\00:05:18.28
Why the Philippines?
00:05:18.31\00:05:20.22
Because tonight, we're focused
specifically on the Philippines
00:05:20.25\00:05:23.62
and the miracles
that God's doing there.
00:05:23.65\00:05:25.55
But how did AWR
00:05:25.59\00:05:27.06
even become
involved in the Philippines?
00:05:27.09\00:05:29.19
Actually, Jill,
00:05:29.22\00:05:31.33
we worked with different
ministries and different...
00:05:31.36\00:05:33.46
North Pacific
Union and Quiet Hour
00:05:33.50\00:05:36.13
and just different
ones, Elder Falkenberg
00:05:36.16\00:05:40.57
and its programs and things.
00:05:40.60\00:05:42.10
And we'd take...
00:05:42.14\00:05:43.47
We found out after
going to many places
00:05:43.51\00:05:44.84
around the world, Kathy
and I have taken probably,
00:05:44.87\00:05:47.64
what, 2,000 maybe?
00:05:47.68\00:05:49.51
Yes.
00:05:49.54\00:05:51.18
People, young people mainly,
00:05:51.21\00:05:53.21
to teach them to
preach evangelistic sermons
00:05:53.25\00:05:55.48
and see lives change.
00:05:55.52\00:05:56.85
We just...
00:05:56.89\00:05:58.22
We were just at a church,
couple of churches recently,
00:05:58.25\00:06:01.06
and young people pastoring
00:06:01.09\00:06:03.39
had gone on one of these
trips with us and decided
00:06:03.43\00:06:05.49
to become preachers.
00:06:05.53\00:06:07.13
And so it's thrilling to
see lives changed like that.
00:06:07.16\00:06:10.03
We know what it
does to young people
00:06:10.07\00:06:11.70
and older people as well.
00:06:11.73\00:06:13.07
Amen. Kathy had
that same experience.
00:06:13.10\00:06:14.90
I think we all... They all have.
00:06:14.94\00:06:16.27
All the...
00:06:16.30\00:06:17.64
Almost all the people
at our office have gone
00:06:17.67\00:06:19.37
and preached and have
life changing experiences
00:06:19.41\00:06:22.08
when they preach.
00:06:22.11\00:06:23.45
It just... It's incredible.
00:06:23.48\00:06:24.81
And so we've seen that happen.
00:06:24.85\00:06:26.28
And then we found out
00:06:26.31\00:06:28.25
that Mindoro was
a great place to go
00:06:28.28\00:06:30.45
because we had good meetings.
00:06:30.49\00:06:31.82
The hotels were good.
00:06:31.85\00:06:33.19
It was near Manila.
00:06:33.22\00:06:34.82
It wasn't in the
big city of Manila.
00:06:34.86\00:06:36.26
We've done meetings there too,
00:06:36.29\00:06:37.63
but it's better to
get out in the villages.
00:06:37.66\00:06:39.33
So that worked very good,
00:06:39.36\00:06:40.70
but they told us that it cost...
00:06:40.73\00:06:43.97
Well, we needed to give
about a $1000 for medicines
00:06:44.00\00:06:48.94
because island is controlled
by the mountains, by rebels.
00:06:48.97\00:06:53.48
Oh, wow.
00:06:53.51\00:06:54.84
And so, many are assassins.
00:06:54.88\00:06:57.05
And so we
found... It was very easy.
00:06:57.08\00:06:58.75
We would just take $1000.
00:06:58.78\00:07:00.12
It was to buy medicines.
00:07:00.15\00:07:03.12
Was it scary going in,
00:07:03.15\00:07:04.49
knowing that it's
controlled by the rebels?
00:07:04.52\00:07:05.85
No, because they left us alone.
00:07:05.89\00:07:08.72
Actually, we have a
friend who is a driver,
00:07:08.76\00:07:11.63
and his cousin was the leader.
00:07:11.66\00:07:14.16
And so we would give him $1000.
00:07:14.20\00:07:15.90
I'm not sure if it
was really for medicines.
00:07:15.93\00:07:18.33
That's when you don't
ask any questions. No, no.
00:07:21.67\00:07:23.74
We gave him $1000, and
he gave it to the rebels,
00:07:23.77\00:07:25.97
and the military
knew it and it was fine.
00:07:26.01\00:07:28.68
And just, you know, that
way, they wouldn't shoot us.
00:07:28.71\00:07:33.18
And they did, they
killed 40,000 people.
00:07:33.21\00:07:36.25
Oh, wow. And well,
the military and...
00:07:36.28\00:07:40.49
We went through to Kathy
to the military base once
00:07:40.52\00:07:45.43
toward the beginning.
00:07:45.46\00:07:46.80
And... Is this in Mindoro?
00:07:46.83\00:07:48.16
In Mindoro. Yes. Okay.
00:07:48.20\00:07:49.53
Thanks, yeah.
00:07:49.56\00:07:50.90
And the general said, he said,
00:07:50.93\00:07:52.30
"We are sick and tired
of killing our own people.
00:07:52.33\00:07:54.44
Thank you, AWR. Thank
you, Adventist Church."
00:07:54.47\00:07:58.47
And so he said, you
know, 40,000 people dead.
00:07:58.51\00:08:01.98
And what would happen,
00:08:02.01\00:08:03.35
there's a place called Zigzag.
00:08:03.38\00:08:05.01
And you had to almost
stop to go around this zag
00:08:05.05\00:08:07.55
in the road in the mountains.
00:08:07.58\00:08:09.62
And the military
trucks would come by
00:08:09.65\00:08:11.52
and then the rebels
would be on top of the mountain
00:08:11.55\00:08:14.06
and shoot down at them.
00:08:14.09\00:08:15.82
And then there was retaliation
00:08:15.86\00:08:17.36
where the military
would take their gunships
00:08:17.39\00:08:20.16
and go back up
into the mountains.
00:08:20.20\00:08:21.53
And it is just back and
forth and tons of people died.
00:08:21.56\00:08:26.23
You know, it was horrible.
00:08:26.27\00:08:27.64
So we...
00:08:27.67\00:08:29.10
The military
told us this and this,
00:08:29.14\00:08:31.14
and then all of a
sudden, we started broadcasting.
00:08:31.17\00:08:34.44
We'll get into that
more with the Japanese.
00:08:34.48\00:08:36.78
But when we
started broadcasting,
00:08:36.81\00:08:39.21
we began to get...
00:08:39.25\00:08:42.72
Villages were saying that we're
listening up in the mountains.
00:08:42.75\00:08:47.12
And this had
never happened before.
00:08:47.16\00:08:48.52
We never...
00:08:48.56\00:08:49.89
You know, we just
wanted them not to shoot us.
00:08:49.92\00:08:51.83
But Sue Hinkle,
we were going there,
00:08:51.86\00:08:54.63
we were talking
about the rebels.
00:08:54.66\00:08:56.00
And what did you pray?
00:08:56.03\00:08:57.37
Well, you talked
about this road, Zigzag.
00:08:57.40\00:09:00.47
And I remember
standing on a hill
00:09:00.50\00:09:02.94
and someone in our group
said, "You know, behind us,
00:09:02.97\00:09:06.41
I'm sure this rebel
group are watching us."
00:09:06.44\00:09:10.65
And I remember standing
on that hill and praying,
00:09:10.68\00:09:14.15
"Lord, they need
to hear you too."
00:09:14.18\00:09:15.88
Yes.
00:09:15.92\00:09:17.25
And we started praying
and the team started praying.
00:09:17.29\00:09:21.22
And then I guess,
I got bold with God.
00:09:21.26\00:09:24.83
And I remembered reading a quote
00:09:24.86\00:09:27.60
from Ellen White that said,
00:09:27.63\00:09:29.00
"God likes us to
ask for big things."
00:09:29.03\00:09:31.90
So I said, "Lord,
bring the whole regime down."
00:09:31.93\00:09:35.74
Oh, wow.
00:09:35.77\00:09:37.21
And you know, and I, you know,
00:09:37.24\00:09:39.04
I'm sure others
were praying too,
00:09:39.07\00:09:40.68
but I thought...
00:09:40.71\00:09:42.04
Wow. "God can do it."
00:09:42.08\00:09:43.41
If we're instructed to
ask God for big things,
00:09:43.45\00:09:46.82
and God loves us
to ask for big things,
00:09:46.85\00:09:48.78
well, God, here you go.
00:09:48.82\00:09:50.45
Here's a big thing.
00:09:50.49\00:09:52.09
And I thought, Sue.
00:09:52.12\00:09:54.89
What did you just pray for?
00:09:54.92\00:09:56.26
Ephesians 3:20.
00:09:56.29\00:09:58.39
That's the theme
for Mindoro Island.
00:09:58.43\00:10:01.00
But Iā |
00:10:01.03\00:10:02.36
God is able to do exceedingly...
00:10:02.40\00:10:04.20
Abundantly above all
that we ask or think it.
00:10:04.23\00:10:06.43
It's my favorite text. Amen.
00:10:06.47\00:10:07.94
But I thought,
"Just give them $1000."
00:10:07.97\00:10:12.17
You won't be shot.
00:10:12.21\00:10:13.81
So, Jill, in 2016,
00:10:13.84\00:10:17.81
Duane had been asked to
preach on the island of Mindoro
00:10:17.85\00:10:22.62
for a camp meeting.
00:10:22.65\00:10:24.65
And he met with the pastors
00:10:24.69\00:10:28.72
at that camp meeting.
00:10:28.76\00:10:30.93
And Robert Dulay was
kind of leading the group.
00:10:30.96\00:10:35.83
And so Duane,
00:10:35.86\00:10:37.43
he wasn't president of
Adventist World Radio yet.
00:10:37.47\00:10:40.14
He became president
in January of 2017. Okay.
00:10:40.17\00:10:44.01
But he said,
00:10:44.04\00:10:45.37
"Be sure and use radio
to broadcast the messages."
00:10:45.41\00:10:50.78
And Robert thought,
00:10:50.81\00:10:53.85
"Radio won't work."
00:10:53.88\00:10:55.22
Oh, wow.
00:10:55.25\00:10:57.59
You know, if people
say to you 3ABN won't work.
00:10:57.62\00:11:00.02
Or 3ABN Radio won't work at all.
00:11:00.06\00:11:02.92
But people, it did work.
00:11:02.96\00:11:04.33
Of course. Yeah.
00:11:04.36\00:11:05.69
It was just amazing.
00:11:05.73\00:11:07.06
See, we were getting
ready for a series of meetings
00:11:07.10\00:11:08.63
with the Japanese.
00:11:08.66\00:11:10.00
We had the total
member involvement.
00:11:10.03\00:11:11.37
We had just done...
00:11:11.40\00:11:12.73
Remember back the
year before in Rwanda,
00:11:12.77\00:11:15.07
where we had a100,000
baptisms? Yes. Absolutely.
00:11:15.10\00:11:17.87
So this time we thought,
00:11:17.91\00:11:19.61
"Okay, the GC said go to
a hard country and try it."
00:11:19.64\00:11:23.21
So we picked Japan.
00:11:23.24\00:11:25.65
But the Japanese had
never done evangelism.
00:11:25.68\00:11:27.72
So before we get
to Japan... Yeah.
00:11:27.75\00:11:29.92
I think we have
a video that's...
00:11:29.95\00:11:31.49
We have a lot of videos tonight.
00:11:31.52\00:11:32.85
I believe Robert Stotz
put a lot of these together.
00:11:32.89\00:11:34.72
Yeah, he did. Is that right?
00:11:34.76\00:11:36.09
He's our buddy. We love Robert.
00:11:36.12\00:11:37.46
Thank you. Thank you.
00:11:37.49\00:11:39.29
This is another
example of partnership, right?
00:11:39.33\00:11:42.06
Between 3ABN and
AWR because Robert
00:11:42.10\00:11:44.73
and his wife Nadi were part
of the 3ABN family for years.
00:11:44.77\00:11:47.40
And then God called them to AWR.
00:11:47.44\00:11:49.77
Well, he's a wonderful... He is.
00:11:49.80\00:11:51.14
Wonderful man of God.
00:11:51.17\00:11:52.51
So the first video.
00:11:52.54\00:11:53.88
Why don't you set up the first
video we're going to see? Sure.
00:11:53.91\00:11:55.24
Okay. Yeah.
00:11:55.28\00:11:56.61
Let's look at this
video and it kind of...
00:11:56.64\00:11:58.65
And it rolls
into the front with...
00:11:58.68\00:12:00.72
Into our time and then
it starts rolling back.
00:12:00.75\00:12:03.12
So let's look at it.
00:12:03.15\00:12:05.65
This is, this huge
baptism that we just had.
00:12:05.69\00:12:11.16
This is the one
just a... Just...
00:12:11.19\00:12:12.69
Just last... Three weeks...
00:12:12.73\00:12:14.33
Three weeks ago. Four weeks ago.
00:12:14.36\00:12:15.70
Baptizing the rebels.
00:12:15.73\00:12:17.07
Just came back
from the Philippines
00:12:17.10\00:12:18.43
Earth's Final Countdown.
00:12:18.47\00:12:19.80
Right. But you know what, Duane?
00:12:19.83\00:12:21.80
I mean, there's so much to tell.
00:12:21.84\00:12:23.51
Let's go back to
the beginning. Yeah.
00:12:23.54\00:12:24.87
Let's go back to the
beginning. Yeah, let's go back.
00:12:24.91\00:12:26.61
Here we're going back.
00:12:26.64\00:12:28.01
And we'll come back
and go over a lot of this.
00:12:28.04\00:12:29.78
So these are the
rebels. These are...
00:12:29.81\00:12:31.38
They're being baptized.
00:12:31.41\00:12:32.75
These are the Japanese.
00:12:32.78\00:12:34.52
Lots to tell. Lots to rewind.
00:12:34.55\00:12:36.89
This is the
rewind. That's right.
00:12:36.92\00:12:38.49
We're just
going... Taking it back.
00:12:38.52\00:12:39.85
And what has
happened with AWR here?
00:12:39.89\00:12:42.59
Of course, AWR
has been very active,
00:12:42.62\00:12:44.39
involved in a lot of
other places in the world.
00:12:44.43\00:12:47.06
But this rolls it back.
00:12:47.10\00:12:49.03
And that's kind of fills
in what we were talking about.
00:12:49.06\00:12:52.17
See, to go to
Japan, we're thinking,
00:12:52.20\00:12:55.07
"How are we going to
get our Japanese laypeople
00:12:55.10\00:12:57.87
and pastors
interested, excited?"
00:12:57.91\00:13:00.81
And as I said,
all these have been...
00:13:00.84\00:13:03.65
And most of our
staff have done meetings.
00:13:03.68\00:13:06.28
And we've seen over the years
with young people and others,
00:13:06.31\00:13:09.35
it changes lives.
00:13:09.38\00:13:10.72
You know that. Yeah, it does.
00:13:10.75\00:13:12.09
Absolutely. It changes lives.
00:13:12.12\00:13:13.46
And so we thought, "If we
can just get the Japanese.
00:13:13.49\00:13:15.99
If we can get
them over to Mindoro,
00:13:16.02\00:13:18.76
have them preach
their first series.
00:13:18.79\00:13:20.16
Then next year when
we go back to Japan,
00:13:20.20\00:13:22.66
Elder Wilson will preach,
I'll preach, others will,
00:13:22.70\00:13:24.80
and they'll preach too."
00:13:24.83\00:13:26.17
So that was the
plan to get them excited.
00:13:26.20\00:13:28.07
To see, you know, get
their feet in the water
00:13:28.10\00:13:31.77
in baptism.
00:13:31.81\00:13:33.14
And, Sue,
00:13:33.17\00:13:35.01
when they came the
president of Tokyo,
00:13:35.04\00:13:40.12
the conference in Tokyo,
you were talking to Obara.
00:13:40.15\00:13:42.75
Uh-huh.
00:13:42.78\00:13:44.12
So I was having lunch
and sitting with Pastor Obara
00:13:44.15\00:13:47.39
at the table and trying to
get to know him a little bit.
00:13:47.42\00:13:49.76
And he was going to
be one of our speakers.
00:13:49.79\00:13:52.19
And I saw...
00:13:52.23\00:13:53.56
I asked Pastor Obara,
00:13:53.60\00:13:54.93
"So have you done
evangelistic series before?"
00:13:54.96\00:13:57.97
And he goes, "Oh, no, never."
00:13:58.00\00:13:59.97
I said, "Oh." President.
00:14:00.00\00:14:02.00
I said, "Yeah."
00:14:02.04\00:14:03.37
President of the
conference. Oh, okay.
00:14:03.41\00:14:04.77
And he said,
"Actually, I have only attended
00:14:04.81\00:14:08.28
one evangelistic
series in my whole life,"
00:14:08.31\00:14:10.91
when he was young.
00:14:10.95\00:14:12.68
Twelve years old.
00:14:12.71\00:14:14.05
And I said,
"Oh, okay." I said...
00:14:14.08\00:14:16.52
So trying to learn more,
00:14:16.55\00:14:18.05
I said, "So what
do you do in Japan?"
00:14:18.09\00:14:21.19
He goes, "Well, we
have weekend events."
00:14:21.22\00:14:23.09
Okay.
00:14:23.12\00:14:24.46
I said, "Okay,
what do you talk about?"
00:14:24.49\00:14:25.83
He said, "Family
issues, health issues."
00:14:25.86\00:14:28.96
I said, "Oh, okay."
Nothing evangelistic.
00:14:29.00\00:14:31.00
But that's what I said.
00:14:31.03\00:14:32.37
So nothing
doctrinal, nothing evangelistic.
00:14:32.40\00:14:34.80
He goes, "No."
00:14:34.84\00:14:36.44
And so in my mind I'm
thinking and I said to him,
00:14:36.47\00:14:39.27
"So how's that
working out for you?"
00:14:39.31\00:14:42.41
And what he say?
That's a great question.
00:14:42.44\00:14:44.78
He got sober and
he said, "It isn't."
00:14:44.81\00:14:48.02
And they had actually had
a negative membership gain
00:14:48.05\00:14:51.22
that year.
00:14:51.25\00:14:52.59
He said, "It isn't working."
00:14:52.62\00:14:53.96
So he was very
open to trying this
00:14:53.99\00:14:56.76
and learning how to do this.
00:14:56.79\00:14:59.76
And so he came and
preached his first meeting.
00:14:59.79\00:15:02.13
It changed his life. Wow.
00:15:02.16\00:15:03.53
And imagine,
00:15:03.57\00:15:05.87
you know, they had
to preach in English.
00:15:05.90\00:15:10.01
This was really difficult
00:15:10.04\00:15:11.57
because the
translators couldn't...
00:15:11.61\00:15:13.48
They could
translate from English,
00:15:13.51\00:15:14.84
but they didn't know Japanese.
00:15:14.88\00:15:16.21
So that was a...
00:15:16.24\00:15:17.58
It was hard and a lot of work.
00:15:17.61\00:15:18.95
They spent many
hours, but it was successful.
00:15:18.98\00:15:21.48
In fact, I think we've
got a video that talks about
00:15:21.52\00:15:25.05
what happened after
this evangelistic campaign
00:15:25.09\00:15:27.56
in Mindoro.
00:15:27.59\00:15:28.92
It's really amazing. Right.
00:15:28.96\00:15:30.29
Is that up next? That's next.
00:15:30.33\00:15:31.66
Okay. Good.
00:15:31.69\00:15:33.03
Let's go to
that video right now.
00:15:33.06\00:15:35.06
But it happened.
00:15:35.10\00:15:36.43
It has happened right
now here in the Philippines.
00:15:36.46\00:15:38.60
A group of people, 25 of them,
walked out of the mountains,
00:15:38.63\00:15:42.27
across jungles, and rivers,
and streams to be baptized.
00:15:42.30\00:15:47.01
Twelve of them were
baptized. It was so exciting.
00:15:47.04\00:15:49.08
They walked, not 20 miles,
not 20 miles, but 48 miles.
00:15:49.11\00:15:54.12
It was truly unbelievable
00:15:54.15\00:15:56.52
to baptize these people.
00:15:56.55\00:15:57.89
They had so much excitement
and desire to see Jesus.
00:15:57.92\00:16:00.46
We are
experiencing the outpouring
00:16:06.83\00:16:08.33
of the Holy Spirit
here on this island.
00:16:08.36\00:16:10.57
We knew we would
have success here,
00:16:31.75\00:16:33.76
but we never imagined
we would have the success
00:16:33.79\00:16:37.13
that we are having here today.
00:16:37.16\00:16:40.70
Some of these Japanese
pastors, their entire lives,
00:16:40.73\00:16:44.07
they baptize one or
maybe two people a year.
00:16:44.10\00:16:47.67
And to be here
00:16:47.70\00:16:49.04
and all of a sudden
have this mass baptism
00:16:49.07\00:16:50.87
where they're
baptizing 25, 30 people,
00:16:50.91\00:16:53.91
it will change
their lives forever.
00:16:53.94\00:16:55.94
And they're going
to take that fire,
00:16:55.98\00:16:57.75
and they're going
to go back to Japan.
00:16:57.78\00:17:00.98
To see that person
come up out of the water
00:17:01.02\00:17:04.45
with such joy on their face.
00:17:04.49\00:17:06.76
There's nothing like that.
00:17:06.79\00:17:08.79
And you times that by 1,400.
00:17:08.82\00:17:11.89
That's what this
Sabbath was like.
00:17:11.93\00:17:13.53
As a result of AWR's
ministry in Mindoro, today,
00:17:20.44\00:17:24.31
we are baptizing
more than 1,400 people.
00:17:24.34\00:17:28.81
I thought before that radio
would not work here in Mindoro.
00:17:28.84\00:17:32.88
Now I believe that God
is still working great job
00:17:32.91\00:17:37.29
to reach people and to
prepare people for His kingdom.
00:17:37.32\00:17:40.12
So 'cause those
are really... Amen.
00:17:43.63\00:17:46.19
What an incredible
00:17:46.23\00:17:48.06
miracle to see
what God is doing.
00:17:48.10\00:17:50.50
So just for clarification,
00:17:50.53\00:17:52.27
AWR began broadcasting in
March there in 2017. Right.
00:17:52.30\00:17:56.87
And these meetings
were in the summer. Right.
00:17:56.91\00:17:59.27
And the... 2017.
00:17:59.31\00:18:01.44
And the soil was
fertile. It was ripe.
00:18:01.48\00:18:03.95
It was ready.
00:18:03.98\00:18:05.31
What happened is, you know,
00:18:05.35\00:18:06.68
Robert Dulay and
the rest of them.
00:18:06.72\00:18:08.05
I was at this pastor's meeting,
this is camp meeting time.
00:18:08.08\00:18:10.15
It's Christmas, or
just Christmas time.
00:18:10.19\00:18:12.72
And so it was...
00:18:12.75\00:18:14.92
I talked to him.
00:18:14.96\00:18:16.29
I said, "We're going to
have a Japanese come here
00:18:16.32\00:18:17.66
who going to help us.
00:18:17.69\00:18:19.03
"You know, the relationship
between the Philippines
00:18:19.06\00:18:20.63
and Japan.
00:18:20.66\00:18:22.00
And they thought this
was kind of interesting.
00:18:22.03\00:18:24.23
So they're going
to help the Japanese
00:18:24.27\00:18:26.03
become evangelists, teach them.
00:18:26.07\00:18:29.70
So they said, "Okay."
00:18:29.74\00:18:32.37
But they're all
thinking this won't work.
00:18:32.41\00:18:34.21
And then, Kathy,
they went for three weeks.
00:18:34.24\00:18:37.75
That's right.
00:18:37.78\00:18:39.11
They broadcast for three weeks.
00:18:39.15\00:18:41.02
This is 20...
00:18:41.05\00:18:42.38
2017, the beginning of the year.
00:18:42.42\00:18:46.52
And nothing
happened after three weeks.
00:18:46.55\00:18:49.89
And so they came
up with a God plan.
00:18:49.92\00:18:53.09
It was God-driven plan.
00:18:53.13\00:18:55.40
They gave the
question of the day.
00:18:55.43\00:18:59.17
They would give a
message and then ask a question.
00:18:59.20\00:19:03.10
And they'd say the first five
00:19:03.14\00:19:05.21
that have the correct answer,
00:19:05.24\00:19:08.41
tomorrow call in
and you will get a gift.
00:19:08.44\00:19:13.48
Oh, that's a great idea.
00:19:13.52\00:19:14.85
And so these broadcasters
are actually church members
00:19:14.88\00:19:19.22
or pastors, but they're local.
00:19:19.25\00:19:21.69
And so the people that
got the correct answer,
00:19:21.72\00:19:25.69
the broadcasters would
actually take the gifts
00:19:25.73\00:19:30.20
to the people themselves.
00:19:30.23\00:19:33.03
So it's a radio or a Bible.
00:19:33.07\00:19:34.74
Something nice, a nice gift.
00:19:34.77\00:19:36.10
Yeah. They give out five or so.
00:19:36.14\00:19:37.57
And then all of a
sudden, we had these villages.
00:19:37.61\00:19:40.71
And they got so
excited, they said,
00:19:40.74\00:19:43.01
"You know, we want
to become Adventists."
00:19:43.04\00:19:44.85
Wow. Whole village.
00:19:44.88\00:19:46.21
We started seeing pockets,
00:19:46.25\00:19:48.08
you know, in the
mountains, different places.
00:19:48.12\00:19:50.25
And when they would
find a pocket of people
00:19:50.29\00:19:52.89
that were interested,
00:19:52.92\00:19:54.26
then we sent Bible workers.
00:19:54.29\00:19:56.46
And so Bible workers actually
would stay in the village
00:19:56.49\00:19:58.93
with them, villages with
them and start working with them
00:19:58.96\00:20:02.53
more and more.
00:20:02.56\00:20:03.90
And this went like wildfire.
00:20:03.93\00:20:07.07
You know, I
remember Duane and Kathy,
00:20:07.10\00:20:09.04
we were there and
we got the report.
00:20:09.07\00:20:11.97
Guess what?
00:20:12.01\00:20:13.34
One whole village
wants to become Adventist.
00:20:13.38\00:20:15.98
And then the next
day, there was three,
00:20:16.01\00:20:18.31
and then there was five.
00:20:18.35\00:20:20.02
Whole villages. Whole villages.
00:20:20.05\00:20:21.52
Yeah. We couldn't believe it.
00:20:21.55\00:20:22.92
We kept sending Bible
workers and they funded it.
00:20:22.95\00:20:25.62
Wow.
00:20:25.65\00:20:26.99
So we sent Bible workers in
00:20:27.02\00:20:28.36
and they started studying
with the people and how...
00:20:28.39\00:20:31.33
And then there were
60, Sue, and then 70.
00:20:31.36\00:20:34.40
And then...
00:20:34.43\00:20:35.76
Ninety and then it
was over 100 and then...
00:20:35.80\00:20:37.57
Villages. Oh, and
now, you know what?
00:20:37.60\00:20:40.30
And...
00:20:40.34\00:20:41.67
Now there are over 500 villages.
00:20:41.70\00:20:46.31
Amen. Five
hundred and forty three.
00:20:46.34\00:20:48.31
Five hundred and
forty three villages?
00:20:48.34\00:20:50.01
Villages.
00:20:50.05\00:20:51.38
Now some of these
aren't all becoming Adventist,
00:20:51.41\00:20:53.11
but the message is
working in those areas.
00:20:53.15\00:20:56.58
And some of these are rebels.
00:20:56.62\00:20:58.55
They're actually 70 villages
00:20:58.59\00:21:00.46
that are rebel
villages are Adventist.
00:21:00.49\00:21:03.43
Wow. Are Adventist.
00:21:03.46\00:21:04.96
You know what I love
that Adventist World Radio
00:21:04.99\00:21:07.60
is it goes where we can't go.
00:21:07.63\00:21:10.07
Wherever air goes,
Adventist World Radio goes.
00:21:10.10\00:21:13.54
And unbeknownst,
because people...
00:21:13.57\00:21:15.60
The village
people were coming down,
00:21:15.64\00:21:18.27
and they were coming down
00:21:18.31\00:21:19.64
so they could
hear the radio better.
00:21:19.67\00:21:21.01
They would show up in
the bottom of the mountains.
00:21:21.04\00:21:23.38
But that message
was going to people
00:21:23.41\00:21:25.18
that we did not
imagine were hearing.
00:21:25.21\00:21:28.75
That's right.
00:21:28.78\00:21:30.12
So we've got a video
that tells a little bit
00:21:30.15\00:21:32.85
of the story of what
happened next of the...
00:21:32.89\00:21:37.33
And, Duane, you
were referring to it.
00:21:37.36\00:21:38.69
How did it happen
that these terrorists
00:21:38.73\00:21:42.86
actually became Adventist?
00:21:42.90\00:21:44.83
God used Adventist
World Radio and the airwaves.
00:21:44.87\00:21:48.50
Amen. Let's go to
that video right now.
00:21:48.54\00:21:52.81
One year ago, AWR
360 organized events
00:21:52.84\00:21:55.78
across the island of
Mindoro in the Philippines.
00:21:55.81\00:21:58.51
Along with the broadcast,
many meetings took place
00:21:58.55\00:22:01.82
and more than
2,000 were baptized.
00:22:01.85\00:22:04.65
Then soon after,
over 77 new villages
00:22:04.69\00:22:08.06
turned their
lives over to the Lord
00:22:08.09\00:22:10.03
as the layman radio
host kept preaching.
00:22:10.06\00:22:12.99
But then some of
the new listeners
00:22:13.03\00:22:15.26
made a surprise visit to one
of our AWR radio broadcasters,
00:22:15.30\00:22:20.20
Robert Dulay.
00:22:20.24\00:22:22.07
As he was biking home one day,
00:22:22.10\00:22:23.91
he saw four
strangers at his front door.
00:22:23.94\00:22:27.71
They told him they were rebels.
00:22:27.74\00:22:31.11
On March 29, 1969,
00:22:31.15\00:22:33.75
The New
People's Army was formed.
00:22:33.78\00:22:35.98
Armed with weapons,
00:22:36.02\00:22:37.35
they gradually
infiltrated the country.
00:22:37.39\00:22:40.86
Their goals have been
to overthrow the government
00:22:40.89\00:22:43.63
and establish a
Mao-style communist regime.
00:22:43.66\00:22:48.46
They regularly ambush
police and military forces.
00:22:48.50\00:22:53.00
Are these men and
women to be feared
00:22:53.03\00:22:54.80
for their brutality, to
be rejected and abandoned?
00:22:54.84\00:22:58.64
Or is God calling His faithful
to go out into the highways
00:22:58.67\00:23:02.34
and byways to preach there too?
00:23:02.38\00:23:04.75
They pleaded with us
00:23:04.78\00:23:06.18
to send someone to
the village to preach,
00:23:06.21\00:23:08.35
as they had been
listening to the radio
00:23:08.38\00:23:10.19
and wanted to
know more about Jesus.
00:23:10.22\00:23:13.62
It is now four months later,
00:23:13.66\00:23:15.76
AWR 360 is heading to
the forbidden mountain area
00:23:15.79\00:23:19.83
in the midst of
where these rebels live.
00:23:19.86\00:23:21.86
Our team boards a
small mission helicopter.
00:23:24.87\00:23:29.00
And it takes us to
the top of the mountain.
00:23:29.04\00:23:33.74
We are welcomed and the
natives eagerly give us a tour.
00:23:33.78\00:23:37.15
It's amazing to see how
these precious people live.
00:23:37.18\00:23:41.42
Then I sit down with Effren,
00:23:41.45\00:23:43.15
the first one who
started listening to AWR.
00:23:43.18\00:23:47.96
My life was always on edge.
00:23:47.99\00:23:50.53
I did many things I
would rather not talk about.
00:23:50.56\00:23:54.13
But one day as I was
listening to the radio,
00:23:54.16\00:23:57.87
something different came on.
00:23:57.90\00:24:00.44
It was AWR's health program.
00:24:00.47\00:24:03.71
As I listened,
00:24:03.74\00:24:05.07
I discovered that these
people were helping many
00:24:05.11\00:24:07.28
with their health problems.
00:24:07.31\00:24:08.84
They also talked
about the supreme healer,
00:24:08.88\00:24:11.58
one whose life was devoted
to others rather than Himself.
00:24:11.61\00:24:16.02
This thought appealed to him,
00:24:16.05\00:24:17.89
and he felt the need
to share it with others.
00:24:17.92\00:24:21.06
Then he began to wonder,
00:24:21.09\00:24:22.62
"Who are these people
00:24:22.66\00:24:24.16
who are sharing
this loving message?"
00:24:24.19\00:24:26.93
He knew he had to
find out for himself.
00:24:26.96\00:24:29.76
I had to know more.
00:24:29.80\00:24:31.53
So I sought out the
speaker of this program.
00:24:31.57\00:24:35.17
I sent fellow members in my unit
00:24:35.20\00:24:37.04
to invite him
to the mountaintop.
00:24:37.07\00:24:40.21
The road they
took down many times
00:24:40.24\00:24:42.58
had been used to hurt or injure.
00:24:42.61\00:24:44.81
But this time, it was different.
00:24:44.85\00:24:47.95
My friends asked him,
00:24:47.98\00:24:49.72
"Please come preach
to us in the mountains."
00:24:49.75\00:24:52.89
As they met, Effren shared
00:25:04.10\00:25:06.74
how he has a desire to
learn more about Jesus.
00:25:06.77\00:25:10.94
And AWR 360 was happy to oblige.
00:25:10.97\00:25:15.38
Many laymen pastors also
climbed the mountain to preach.
00:25:15.41\00:25:20.12
And soon, many new rebels heard
about God through the radio
00:25:20.15\00:25:24.22
and Bible studies.
00:25:24.25\00:25:26.92
And they too have the
need to share it with others.
00:25:26.96\00:25:31.59
And then the day came
00:25:31.63\00:25:32.96
when Effren himself
walked down the mountain
00:25:32.99\00:25:36.00
with one final request.
00:25:36.03\00:25:39.93
I want to be
baptized, and so do many others.
00:25:39.97\00:25:45.61
And so on top of this
once dangerous mountain,
00:25:45.64\00:25:49.18
laymen doctors
healed those who were sick.
00:25:49.21\00:25:52.01
And the mouths were cleaned
by the volunteer dentists.
00:25:52.05\00:25:56.32
Our AWR 360 team
spoke with many villagers
00:25:56.35\00:26:00.59
and prayed with many more.
00:26:00.62\00:26:03.53
Additional rebels arrived
00:26:03.56\00:26:05.53
because they were
interested in witnessing
00:26:05.56\00:26:07.56
what was going on.
00:26:07.60\00:26:09.86
Our team preached to them,
and then it was time to baptize
00:26:09.90\00:26:13.27
those who had made
their decision for Christ.
00:26:13.30\00:26:16.57
It was a joyous walk
to the baptismal site.
00:26:16.60\00:26:20.48
And I believe all of
heaven was rejoicing with us
00:26:20.51\00:26:23.68
as we watched Pastor McKey
baptize five rebel generals,
00:26:23.71\00:26:28.85
along with 60 other soldiers.
00:26:28.88\00:26:32.72
These men who were
once killers in the land
00:26:32.75\00:26:35.62
have now died to self.
00:26:35.66\00:26:38.09
They have laid down
their earthly weapons
00:26:38.13\00:26:40.50
and exchanged them
for a heavenly reward.
00:26:40.53\00:26:45.20
What I witnessed
today was truly a miracle.
00:26:45.23\00:26:49.40
In one of the most
dangerous places on earth,
00:26:49.44\00:26:52.07
Adventist World
Radio boldly went forth,
00:26:52.11\00:26:54.94
so yearning ears
could hear the mercy
00:26:54.98\00:26:57.65
and forgiveness of Jesus.
00:26:57.68\00:27:00.18
Lives were changed for eternity.
00:27:00.22\00:27:02.58
And now many more have a
new hope of heaven forever.
00:27:02.62\00:27:07.42
And this is only the beginning.
00:27:07.46\00:27:11.59
Amen.
00:27:11.63\00:27:12.96
Five rebel generals and
60 rebel soldiers baptized
00:27:12.99\00:27:17.87
as a result of the Holy
Spirit working through AWR.
00:27:17.90\00:27:21.87
That's an incredible story.
00:27:21.90\00:27:23.27
That is unbelievable
that God could do this.
00:27:23.30\00:27:25.34
I say to Kathy,
"What a time to be alive?
00:27:25.37\00:27:28.18
Can you imagine this?
00:27:28.21\00:27:30.68
"And to be there and with the
helicopter and the fliers out.
00:27:30.71\00:27:34.75
Actually, they said,
00:27:34.78\00:27:36.12
"Well, we'll
take you in by horse."
00:27:36.15\00:27:37.49
And Kathy said...
00:27:37.52\00:27:39.15
I can't ride a horse.
00:27:39.19\00:27:41.82
First, they
said, "You can walk up
00:27:41.86\00:27:44.59
and it'll be 10
or 8 to 10 hours."
00:27:44.63\00:27:47.86
And I said, "Uphill
and mud to the knee.
00:27:47.90\00:27:52.00
No."
00:27:52.03\00:27:53.37
Then they said,
"Well, you can take a horse."
00:27:53.40\00:27:55.77
I said, "I can't ride a horse."
00:27:55.80\00:27:57.64
And then Robert saw me
two days later and he says,
00:27:57.67\00:28:01.18
"Hey, pastor, I
got it figured out.
00:28:01.21\00:28:03.45
The military would take
their helicopter and fly us up."
00:28:03.48\00:28:06.41
And I said, "No."
00:28:06.45\00:28:09.55
But you know,
00:28:09.58\00:28:10.92
because they'll
see the helicopters
00:28:10.95\00:28:14.16
from the military coming in.
00:28:14.19\00:28:15.52
They've been going up
there and shooting them.
00:28:15.56\00:28:16.89
Right.
00:28:16.93\00:28:18.26
And they might
shoot back. That's right.
00:28:18.29\00:28:20.13
You might have been shot.
00:28:20.16\00:28:21.50
So we found one of
our missionary helicopters
00:28:21.53\00:28:25.10
that the church has there.
00:28:25.13\00:28:26.47
So they're independent
ministry, but it's great.
00:28:26.50\00:28:28.10
You know, they took us up.
00:28:28.14\00:28:29.54
Charged us very little
and took us in and out.
00:28:29.57\00:28:31.77
He had how many trips?
00:28:31.81\00:28:33.27
Nine trips.
00:28:33.31\00:28:34.81
The pilot actually got air sick
00:28:34.84\00:28:37.55
because it was so many trips up.
00:28:37.58\00:28:40.28
Up over the hill
and down the hill...
00:28:40.32\00:28:41.65
Yeah, yeah. In a little engine.
00:28:41.68\00:28:43.35
A little wind and yeah.
00:28:43.39\00:28:45.22
So that was just the
first baptism of many.
00:28:45.25\00:28:48.22
Yeah. And I just
wanted to make mention.
00:28:48.26\00:28:50.03
When we were up there,
00:28:50.06\00:28:51.69
I remember after the
baptism, Duane, you got...
00:28:51.73\00:28:55.63
We gathered all these generals
together to get a picture.
00:28:55.66\00:28:59.43
And I remember you
had your arm around some,
00:28:59.47\00:29:02.30
and you giving them the charge.
00:29:02.34\00:29:04.87
Now they had
accepted Jesus Christ.
00:29:04.91\00:29:07.14
Now it was their
job to tell others
00:29:07.18\00:29:11.25
and they have done that.
00:29:11.28\00:29:13.01
They have, they have.
00:29:13.05\00:29:14.38
I'm going to tell
you more about that.
00:29:14.42\00:29:15.75
You know, they're charged.
00:29:15.78\00:29:17.12
What they're
getting ready to do.
00:29:17.15\00:29:18.49
Kathy... Yet there's...
00:29:18.52\00:29:20.32
Tell us in a bit? In a bit.
00:29:20.36\00:29:23.43
But the incredible
thing is each one of these...
00:29:23.46\00:29:27.83
You know, we're up to almost 70.
00:29:27.86\00:29:29.46
But there's families,
there's wives and children.
00:29:29.50\00:29:33.74
So the numbers are much bigger,
00:29:33.77\00:29:35.20
but each one of these
people who were atheists,
00:29:35.24\00:29:38.61
they've been fighting
to overtake the government.
00:29:38.64\00:29:42.18
It just...
00:29:42.21\00:29:43.55
There's so many stories.
00:29:43.58\00:29:44.91
Each person there's a story.
00:29:44.95\00:29:46.28
And so we've got a video
that tells just about one,
00:29:46.31\00:29:49.98
you want to...
00:29:50.02\00:29:51.35
They're going to
church, let's see it.
00:29:51.39\00:29:52.72
Just about one. It's...
00:29:52.75\00:29:54.09
Do you want to talk
about that individual?
00:29:54.12\00:29:55.46
No, let's go ahead
and I'll tell afterwards.
00:29:55.49\00:29:57.36
Okay. Say something about him.
00:29:57.39\00:29:58.73
Sounds good. Yeah.
00:29:58.76\00:30:00.10
Let's take a look
at the executioner.
00:30:00.13\00:30:01.46
I have killed so many.
00:30:04.27\00:30:06.63
How could God forgive me?
00:30:06.67\00:30:11.21
Can Jesus' love forgive
even the most vile of killers?
00:30:11.24\00:30:14.94
Stay tuned.
00:30:14.98\00:30:16.31
This is AWR 360.
00:30:16.34\00:30:18.68
AWR 360 is in the Philippines.
00:30:33.50\00:30:38.20
Agriculture makes up one seventh
00:30:38.23\00:30:40.04
of this country's economy.
00:30:40.07\00:30:43.71
Many locals make a living
selling a variety of fruits
00:30:43.74\00:30:46.78
and grains from
their fertile land.
00:30:46.81\00:30:49.18
I am visiting a local market
in search of some interesting
00:30:49.21\00:30:52.01
native fruits.
00:30:52.05\00:30:53.52
Many are unique
to the Philippines.
00:30:53.55\00:30:55.85
Sour sop is uniquely
spiky and tropical in flavor.
00:30:55.88\00:30:59.62
It tastes great once
you get past its appearance.
00:30:59.65\00:31:02.82
This hairy looking
fruit is called Rambutan.
00:31:02.86\00:31:05.79
It looks like a child's toy.
00:31:05.83\00:31:08.03
I was a bit
skeptical about tasting it,
00:31:08.06\00:31:10.33
but the vendor
assured me it was good.
00:31:10.37\00:31:12.83
I am glad I followed
her advice and sampled it
00:31:12.87\00:31:15.80
because I immediately
fell in love with this fruit.
00:31:15.84\00:31:19.27
Just like my
experience in the marketplace,
00:31:19.31\00:31:21.58
sometimes it takes
someone else's help
00:31:21.61\00:31:23.95
to guide us to something good.
00:31:23.98\00:31:25.68
There is a story in the
Bible about a man named Saul.
00:31:29.05\00:31:32.22
He was an
executioner for what he believed
00:31:32.25\00:31:34.22
to be a good cause.
00:31:34.26\00:31:35.69
But one day, he watched as
Stephen was stoned to death
00:31:35.72\00:31:39.06
and he never forgot it.
00:31:39.09\00:31:40.53
It changed his life forever.
00:31:40.56\00:31:42.96
We are now on our way
to meet a modern-day Saul.
00:31:43.00\00:31:48.24
As we enjoy a scenic route
00:31:48.27\00:31:50.04
through dense
mountainside forest
00:31:50.07\00:31:51.84
and through trickling streams,
00:31:51.87\00:31:53.64
we soon reach our destination.
00:31:53.68\00:31:56.78
Upon arriving, I
am warmly greeted
00:31:56.81\00:31:58.88
by Daniel and his family.
00:31:58.91\00:32:01.05
They place a beautiful
tropical flower in my hair.
00:32:01.08\00:32:04.32
He then proudly
shows me his radio,
00:32:04.35\00:32:06.76
the tool that
truly saved his life.
00:32:06.79\00:32:09.52
As we step
outside, he begins to share
00:32:09.56\00:32:12.13
the story of his dark past.
00:32:12.16\00:32:15.46
I don't deserve it,
00:32:15.50\00:32:17.17
but God has forgiven me
00:32:17.20\00:32:20.14
At a young age,
Daniel was trained to kill.
00:32:20.17\00:32:24.61
His father was a commander
of communist rebel soldiers,
00:32:24.64\00:32:28.28
The New People's Army.
00:32:28.31\00:32:30.55
His cousins and
uncles were rebels too.
00:32:30.58\00:32:32.98
In fact, nearly
his entire family
00:32:33.01\00:32:35.02
was part of this feared group.
00:32:35.05\00:32:37.29
Daniel was born into this life.
00:32:37.32\00:32:39.89
It was all he had ever known.
00:32:39.92\00:32:41.32
He wasn't even a teenager
00:32:41.36\00:32:43.29
when he made his first kill.
00:32:43.32\00:32:45.03
Because Daniel did
not hesitate to murder,
00:32:45.06\00:32:48.23
he became the
island's top hit man.
00:32:48.26\00:32:51.67
Throughout the Philippines,
00:32:51.70\00:32:53.23
he would hunt the people
his group marked for execution.
00:32:53.27\00:32:57.51
He was a messenger of death,
00:32:57.54\00:32:58.91
always duty-bound to terminate
everyone on his hit list.
00:32:58.94\00:33:03.28
It became easy
for Daniel to kill
00:33:03.31\00:33:05.25
the corrupt politicians,
00:33:05.28\00:33:07.02
policemen, rapists, and robbers.
00:33:07.05\00:33:09.65
But there was one death
00:33:09.68\00:33:11.02
that increasingly began
to trouble his conscience.
00:33:11.05\00:33:13.42
It was the
order to kill a pastor
00:33:13.46\00:33:15.56
who begged him for his life.
00:33:15.59\00:33:17.53
Daniel showed no mercy.
00:33:17.56\00:33:19.56
He could not.
00:33:19.59\00:33:20.93
It was his duty to
kill for the rebel cause.
00:33:20.96\00:33:24.07
The more he killed,
the more numb he became,
00:33:24.10\00:33:27.20
never wanting to remember
the faces of his victims,
00:33:27.24\00:33:30.64
especially that pastor.
00:33:30.67\00:33:33.54
I can't even remember
how many people I've killed.
00:33:33.58\00:33:38.55
One day, Daniel returned home
to find his family listening
00:33:38.58\00:33:42.08
to an unusual
broadcast on the radio.
00:33:42.12\00:33:44.49
His wife insisted
that Daniel sit down
00:33:44.52\00:33:46.76
and join them.
00:33:46.79\00:33:48.12
The interesting thing
is, he recognized the station
00:33:48.16\00:33:50.89
to be Adventist World Radio.
00:33:50.93\00:33:52.56
He knew other rebels
00:33:52.59\00:33:53.93
who were also
listening to these programs,
00:33:53.96\00:33:55.83
and many of them were
convicted to give up fighting
00:33:55.86\00:33:58.23
and be baptized.
00:33:58.27\00:33:59.60
This was the first time
he really seriously listened
00:33:59.63\00:34:02.20
to what the speaker was saying.
00:34:02.24\00:34:04.01
He heard about
peace and a loving Savior
00:34:04.04\00:34:06.64
who would leave his 99 sheep
00:34:06.68\00:34:08.71
to go back for
the one that was lost.
00:34:08.74\00:34:11.18
Daniel's heart softened.
00:34:11.21\00:34:12.68
And in that
moment, he understood,
00:34:12.71\00:34:14.78
he was the one lost sheep.
00:34:14.82\00:34:17.19
That's when Satan tried to undo
00:34:17.22\00:34:19.25
all that the Lord
had just accomplished.
00:34:19.29\00:34:21.72
Daniel was informed
00:34:21.76\00:34:23.09
that his closest cousin
was killed in a skirmish.
00:34:23.12\00:34:25.46
Rage was mounting in his heart,
00:34:25.49\00:34:27.10
and he
immediately vowed revenge.
00:34:27.13\00:34:29.86
He was my family and friend.
00:34:29.90\00:34:31.70
I knew I had to kill again.
00:34:31.73\00:34:35.37
Upon seeing Daniel's rage,
00:34:35.40\00:34:37.14
his wife knew what would come.
00:34:37.17\00:34:39.04
She begged her
husband to please stay
00:34:39.07\00:34:41.44
and turned up the radio.
00:34:41.48\00:34:43.24
The broadcaster spoke
about a forgiving Savior.
00:34:43.28\00:34:46.61
Daniel felt like the speaker
was talking directly to him.
00:34:46.65\00:34:50.25
His heart broke.
00:34:50.29\00:34:51.62
Could Jesus
really forgive his sins?
00:34:51.65\00:34:54.66
In that moment,
something changed.
00:34:54.69\00:34:57.33
He cried as he understood that,
00:34:57.36\00:34:59.33
even though he was an evil man,
00:34:59.36\00:35:01.63
God could still
wash his sins away.
00:35:01.66\00:35:04.53
As Daniel looked
down at his innocent child
00:35:04.57\00:35:07.54
gazing up at him,
00:35:07.57\00:35:08.90
he made the decision to start
a new life with his family.
00:35:08.94\00:35:14.04
Looking at my past,
I know I am unworthy.
00:35:14.08\00:35:17.55
But God still has forgiven me.
00:35:17.58\00:35:20.15
Only He could
change my wretched heart.
00:35:20.18\00:35:24.32
He studied daily with his
wife and soon made the decision
00:35:24.35\00:35:28.36
to be baptized.
00:35:28.39\00:35:30.99
Daniel now feels the
joy of being forgiven.
00:35:31.03\00:35:34.80
Like Paul of
old, for many years,
00:35:34.83\00:35:37.33
he lived and
fought for the wrong cause
00:35:37.37\00:35:40.37
until Jesus
interceded and called him.
00:35:40.40\00:35:43.67
Now a new man,
he lives for Christ.
00:35:43.71\00:35:48.38
Only through the
miracle of God's love
00:35:48.41\00:35:50.25
can a rebel executioner
be forgiven and transformed.
00:35:50.28\00:35:53.98
There are
millions of people today
00:35:54.02\00:35:55.75
who carry a heavy load of sin.
00:35:55.78\00:35:58.09
They need to know
00:35:58.12\00:35:59.45
that there is
forgiveness in Jesus,
00:35:59.49\00:36:01.46
that they can live a life
free from the burden of guilt.
00:36:01.49\00:36:05.29
What a privilege
to be able to share
00:36:05.33\00:36:07.93
this wonderful message of
hope with others like Daniel
00:36:07.96\00:36:11.33
around the world.
00:36:11.37\00:36:12.83
Thank you for your support
that makes this possible.
00:36:12.87\00:36:16.60
We so appreciate
you partnering with us
00:36:16.64\00:36:19.64
in the greatest calling
ever, the saving of souls.
00:36:19.67\00:36:23.21
Working together,
00:36:23.24\00:36:24.58
we can make a
difference for eternity.
00:36:24.61\00:36:26.75
From broadcast to
baptism, this is AWR 360.
00:36:26.78\00:36:31.32
We call that a two-hander.
00:36:46.13\00:36:47.90
Praise the Lord.
00:36:47.94\00:36:49.40
What an incredible story.
00:36:49.44\00:36:52.21
It's just...
00:36:52.24\00:36:53.58
You know,
that's only one person.
00:36:53.61\00:36:54.94
But you realize that that
same experience of realizing,
00:36:54.98\00:36:59.11
can God forgive me?
00:36:59.15\00:37:00.48
Can God forgive my past?
00:37:00.52\00:37:02.08
Can I be free from
that guilt from the things
00:37:02.12\00:37:04.89
I have done in the past?
00:37:04.92\00:37:06.42
That was multiplied
00:37:06.45\00:37:08.42
across countless of those
rebel soldiers, wasn't it?
00:37:08.46\00:37:10.93
Yes. Amen.
00:37:10.96\00:37:12.29
You know, the interesting
thing is that to show
00:37:12.33\00:37:15.96
how the military
worked with us and the rebels,
00:37:16.00\00:37:20.10
it's back and forth.
00:37:20.14\00:37:21.64
The man playing that part,
00:37:21.67\00:37:24.04
we didn't want to
show the real man's face
00:37:24.07\00:37:27.08
because of their feelings.
00:37:27.11\00:37:28.44
So that wasn't
actually Daniel. No.
00:37:28.48\00:37:30.18
Okay. Okay.
00:37:30.21\00:37:31.61
But the interesting thing
is this man's name is Freddy,
00:37:31.65\00:37:35.35
and he is a CIA. Oh.
00:37:35.38\00:37:38.65
And so... Really?
00:37:38.69\00:37:40.69
And so as we were
talking to him later,
00:37:40.72\00:37:43.36
so he played the part.
00:37:43.39\00:37:44.73
He did. Okay.
00:37:44.76\00:37:46.09
And he laughs. He said...
00:37:46.13\00:37:47.46
You know, he's military. Right.
00:37:47.50\00:37:48.83
I played the
part of an assassin.
00:37:48.86\00:37:51.77
But the military see
themselves also as assassins.
00:37:51.80\00:37:54.74
You know, they cry
when you talk about...
00:37:54.77\00:37:56.37
When they were
baptized... But Freddy...
00:37:56.40\00:37:57.91
I said, "Freddy,
have you been baptized?"
00:37:57.94\00:37:59.97
He says, "No." Wow.
00:38:00.01\00:38:01.91
But he says,
00:38:01.94\00:38:04.25
"The conference, the
church is asking me to come
00:38:04.28\00:38:08.05
to St. Louis next year.
00:38:08.08\00:38:10.32
And when we have a
baptism at St. Louis...
00:38:10.35\00:38:13.76
"He'd been told this.
00:38:13.79\00:38:15.12
I said, "Freddy,
you're going to be baptized
00:38:15.16\00:38:16.79
and you'll let me baptize you."
00:38:16.83\00:38:18.16
He said, "Yes." Wow.
00:38:18.19\00:38:19.53
So just so I get this right.
00:38:19.56\00:38:20.93
So the man who actually played
Daniel in this little clip
00:38:20.96\00:38:23.97
is going to be baptized in St...
00:38:24.00\00:38:25.80
In St. Louis. Wow.
00:38:25.83\00:38:27.24
He's military CIA. Yes.
00:38:27.27\00:38:29.44
Wow. It's just incredible.
00:38:29.47\00:38:31.77
But you know, when
you talk to military
00:38:31.81\00:38:34.11
that were baptized,
00:38:34.14\00:38:35.48
and as we were
talking to them, they...
00:38:35.51\00:38:39.15
It's funny.
00:38:39.18\00:38:40.52
They'll say something
like, "I was chasing you."
00:38:40.55\00:38:43.55
And the other ones were...
00:38:43.59\00:38:45.02
And you know, there
40,000 people had died
00:38:45.05\00:38:48.69
and yet they're able to
talk together afterwards.
00:38:48.72\00:38:52.39
I was at a table with
military Adventists...
00:38:52.43\00:38:56.03
And rebel Adventists.
00:38:56.06\00:38:57.40
And rebel Adventists,
and they were talking.
00:38:57.43\00:38:59.17
And they were enemies before.
00:38:59.20\00:39:00.54
Yeah, they were
talking together.
00:39:00.57\00:39:02.24
Wow. Just a young man.
00:39:02.27\00:39:06.51
He's a...
00:39:06.54\00:39:07.88
You know, he said
the story could be over
00:39:07.91\00:39:09.24
and over again
because there are so many.
00:39:09.28\00:39:10.85
This young man, we're at Rojas
00:39:10.88\00:39:12.48
and we're having training.
00:39:12.51\00:39:13.85
We're giving
them video projectors
00:39:13.88\00:39:15.52
to the military,
00:39:15.55\00:39:16.89
giving video
projectors to the rebels.
00:39:16.92\00:39:18.95
As...
00:39:18.99\00:39:20.32
And they go up in the mountains
and become evangelists.
00:39:20.36\00:39:22.42
Talk about health programs,
00:39:22.46\00:39:23.89
and then they talk about...
00:39:23.93\00:39:25.26
And we teach them what
to say and how to do it...
00:39:25.29\00:39:27.43
And so we're sitting at
this big table by the ocean
00:39:27.46\00:39:30.77
and they're talking.
00:39:30.80\00:39:32.13
And I realize all of us
sudden, these are Adventists.
00:39:32.17\00:39:35.37
Yeah.
00:39:35.40\00:39:36.81
Some used to be CIA.
00:39:36.84\00:39:39.54
Some used to be
assassins. Right.
00:39:39.57\00:39:43.95
And they'll say things
like, "I was chasing you."
00:39:43.98\00:39:46.61
And other will
say, "I was undercover,
00:39:46.65\00:39:49.02
and I was chasing you."
00:39:49.05\00:39:51.05
Wow. And then they...
00:39:51.09\00:39:52.62
They kind... They
laugh and they cry.
00:39:52.65\00:39:55.02
Yeah. And they pray together.
00:39:55.06\00:39:57.59
In Christ, we are all one.
00:39:57.63\00:39:59.13
Incredible what the
Holy Spirit has done.
00:39:59.16\00:40:01.70
Yeah.
00:40:01.73\00:40:03.06
But, you know, Jill,
as a former diplomat,
00:40:03.10\00:40:06.53
I have never seen the diplomacy.
00:40:06.57\00:40:11.67
And I mean, normally,
00:40:11.71\00:40:13.94
if you're going to
talk to the rebels,
00:40:13.98\00:40:16.34
you would not be
talking to the other side.
00:40:16.38\00:40:18.78
You know, because
it would be dangerous,
00:40:18.81\00:40:20.28
and they wouldn't accept
you and they wouldn't trust you.
00:40:20.32\00:40:22.58
Yeah.
00:40:22.62\00:40:23.95
And yet, AWR through
Rob, Pastor Robert Dulay,
00:40:23.99\00:40:27.26
but Duane directing this,
00:40:27.29\00:40:30.76
I can't believe it.
00:40:30.79\00:40:32.13
I know it was
from the Holy Spirit.
00:40:32.16\00:40:33.73
But imagine if
this kind of skill
00:40:33.76\00:40:36.93
happened in our political world.
00:40:36.97\00:40:39.70
So in addition to having a
relationship with the rebels
00:40:39.73\00:40:43.51
when they asked,
"Come and preach to us."
00:40:43.54\00:40:46.44
Adventist World
Radio went to the military
00:40:46.47\00:40:48.61
and told them
exactly what we were doing.
00:40:48.64\00:40:50.65
And they built trust with them.
00:40:50.68\00:40:52.61
They went to the local governor.
00:40:52.65\00:40:54.18
They went to the mayor.
00:40:54.22\00:40:55.65
So it was this group of everyone
00:40:55.68\00:40:59.25
who was interrelated,
00:40:59.29\00:41:00.62
but none of them
were talking together.
00:41:00.66\00:41:02.42
And they brought understanding
even though they...
00:41:02.46\00:41:05.69
In the
beginning, wouldn't speak.
00:41:05.73\00:41:07.20
There wasn't trust.
00:41:07.23\00:41:08.56
They built trust.
Because imagine the military.
00:41:08.60\00:41:12.50
This leads to, as we
said, amnesty being given,
00:41:12.53\00:41:16.47
which is unheard
of to these rebels
00:41:16.50\00:41:19.44
who had killed
many, many people.
00:41:19.47\00:41:22.24
That happened
because of the diplomacy,
00:41:22.28\00:41:24.91
because Adventist World
Radio was to demonstrate
00:41:24.95\00:41:28.78
the sincerity by communicating.
00:41:28.82\00:41:31.62
When the rebels
couldn't communicate,
00:41:31.65\00:41:32.99
they talked on their behalf.
00:41:33.02\00:41:34.69
And they also built
trust with the rebels,
00:41:34.72\00:41:36.59
with the military.
00:41:36.62\00:41:37.96
It couldn't have
happened any other way.
00:41:37.99\00:41:39.33
This was such an amazing
miracle and such a God thing.
00:41:39.36\00:41:41.90
So miraculous.
00:41:41.93\00:41:43.26
AWR became like the
mediator between the two?
00:41:43.30\00:41:45.07
Yeah, right. Okay.
00:41:45.10\00:41:46.43
It was AWR
through the Holy Spirit
00:41:46.47\00:41:48.77
that brokered peace.
00:41:48.80\00:41:50.14
AWR brokered
peace. It's just amazing.
00:41:50.17\00:41:52.97
You know, and
it's so encouraging.
00:41:53.01\00:41:54.68
This story has
affected me personally.
00:41:54.71\00:41:57.65
You know, as I have seen...
00:41:57.68\00:41:59.01
You know, we saw
the executioner video.
00:41:59.05\00:42:02.32
These were
killers, and Daniel said
00:42:02.35\00:42:04.69
he doesn't even
remember how many he's killed.
00:42:04.72\00:42:07.59
And I'm sure
many of our listeners,
00:42:07.62\00:42:09.82
just like us, we
have family members.
00:42:09.86\00:42:12.03
There's people we're praying for
00:42:12.06\00:42:14.13
that have not accepted Christ.
00:42:14.16\00:42:16.00
And sometimes we may think,
00:42:16.03\00:42:18.43
"Are our prayers working?
00:42:18.47\00:42:19.80
Will God be able to
get through to them?"
00:42:19.83\00:42:22.67
Yes. And we see how God...
00:42:22.70\00:42:25.84
If God can get through
to these kind of people,
00:42:25.87\00:42:31.08
He can get
through to our loved ones.
00:42:31.11\00:42:32.78
And that...
00:42:32.81\00:42:34.15
And I have
claimed this story to God
00:42:34.18\00:42:35.85
when I'm praying.
00:42:35.88\00:42:37.22
Lord, I have seen what
You've done for the rebels.
00:42:37.25\00:42:39.02
Yes.
00:42:39.05\00:42:40.39
You can do the same
thing in so and so's life,
00:42:40.42\00:42:42.26
and so and so's life.
00:42:42.29\00:42:43.63
Amen. Wow.
00:42:43.66\00:42:44.99
And it's just...
00:42:45.03\00:42:46.36
It's been an encouragement to me
00:42:46.39\00:42:47.73
to see God working like this.
00:42:47.76\00:42:49.10
Yeah.
00:42:49.13\00:42:50.47
And you say if God
can do that to a rebel.
00:42:50.50\00:42:51.83
Yes. If He can do
that, why can't our churches?
00:42:51.87\00:42:55.00
Amen.
00:42:55.04\00:42:56.77
You know, put the
differences aside.
00:42:56.81\00:42:58.67
Amen. Pray together.
00:42:58.71\00:43:00.21
Right. 'Cause
Jesus is coming soon.
00:43:00.24\00:43:01.84
Amen. Amen.
00:43:01.88\00:43:03.21
Yeah, yeah.
00:43:03.24\00:43:04.58
We kind of went over a point
00:43:04.61\00:43:06.11
because we have so
many things to discuss,
00:43:06.15\00:43:07.75
but I just want to
bring this back out to...
00:43:07.78\00:43:09.95
You said that
there's amnesty given. Yes.
00:43:09.98\00:43:12.35
Right. Is that correct?
00:43:12.39\00:43:13.72
Yes.
00:43:13.76\00:43:15.09
So now there is
peace and harmony
00:43:15.12\00:43:16.89
between what
used to be the rebels
00:43:16.93\00:43:18.86
and the government?
00:43:18.89\00:43:21.03
Yes, yes, yes.
00:43:21.06\00:43:22.96
And actually, we
went to the president.
00:43:23.00\00:43:24.43
And later on,
and said next time...
00:43:24.47\00:43:26.47
Next...
00:43:26.50\00:43:27.84
Yeah, later on.
Kathy's going to talk about.
00:43:27.87\00:43:29.57
Give us just a little
teaser of that, though,
00:43:29.60\00:43:31.17
that we know what's
coming next hour or so.
00:43:31.21\00:43:32.97
We went to the palace
to the president. Ooh.
00:43:33.01\00:43:35.58
The president
of the Philippines.
00:43:35.61\00:43:36.95
Who gave...
00:43:36.98\00:43:38.31
He was the one that had
to sign off on the amnesties.
00:43:38.35\00:43:40.08
And Elder Wilson
thanked him over and over again
00:43:40.12\00:43:43.82
for giving the amnesties.
00:43:43.85\00:43:45.35
Unheard of... Wow.
00:43:45.39\00:43:46.72
Yeah.
00:43:46.76\00:43:48.09
What government in
the world would do this?
00:43:48.12\00:43:49.46
It was God
working from all sides,
00:43:49.49\00:43:52.69
from all sides.
00:43:52.73\00:43:54.66
More than we could
ever think and imagine,
00:43:54.70\00:43:56.30
just like Ephesians says.
00:43:56.33\00:43:58.33
So you need to make
sure next hour you stay tuned
00:43:58.37\00:44:01.40
because we're going
to get all the details
00:44:01.44\00:44:03.04
of what God did there.
00:44:03.07\00:44:04.67
That's incredible. Okay.
00:44:04.71\00:44:06.17
And you know, Jill, you
were talking about the amnesty.
00:44:06.21\00:44:10.61
So as the months went on
00:44:10.65\00:44:12.58
and more and more
rebels were converted,
00:44:12.61\00:44:15.02
there were others
that were watching,
00:44:15.05\00:44:17.25
but they were a
little skeptical.
00:44:17.29\00:44:18.85
And so it was a transition.
00:44:18.89\00:44:20.66
It was a period of many months,
00:44:20.69\00:44:22.42
but they held a very
special evangelistic series.
00:44:22.46\00:44:26.56
Pastor Dulay led
out in his church.
00:44:26.59\00:44:29.50
And there was an
evangelistic series
00:44:29.53\00:44:32.77
where those who
were open were invited.
00:44:32.80\00:44:35.24
And then after
that, there was...
00:44:35.27\00:44:37.41
There were actually three,
00:44:37.44\00:44:38.77
but this was the
very first ceremony
00:44:38.81\00:44:41.34
where amnesty was given.
00:44:41.38\00:44:42.71
Ooh.
00:44:42.74\00:44:44.08
And it was amazing
00:44:44.11\00:44:45.45
because you will see
this incredible partnership
00:44:45.48\00:44:46.98
that AWR through
their diplomacy brokered,
00:44:47.02\00:44:50.95
because you will see
00:44:50.99\00:44:52.32
the general over
all of the Philippines.
00:44:52.35\00:44:54.82
He was there. He signed.
00:44:54.86\00:44:56.86
You'll see the
governor of the Philippines,
00:44:56.89\00:44:59.63
the mayor, and you'll see a...
00:44:59.66\00:45:02.53
All the rebels there,
00:45:02.56\00:45:04.00
everyone coming
together for this ceremony to...
00:45:04.03\00:45:07.57
And to give
forgiveness and pardon.
00:45:07.60\00:45:10.61
They had to surrender.
00:45:10.64\00:45:12.21
They had to turn in
all their weapons. Oh, wow.
00:45:12.24\00:45:14.21
So we've got just a
real short video clip.
00:45:14.24\00:45:16.61
Watch, when you show the
video, watch the two ladies.
00:45:16.64\00:45:20.85
Okay. One is a general.
00:45:20.88\00:45:22.22
Oh.
00:45:22.25\00:45:23.59
She's a three-star,
four-star general...
00:45:23.62\00:45:25.72
Four-star.
00:45:25.75\00:45:27.09
Leading out in this
movement across the Philippines.
00:45:27.12\00:45:30.16
And she's there.
00:45:30.19\00:45:31.53
Watch her reaction
when she gets the amnesty
00:45:31.56\00:45:34.20
by the military.
00:45:34.23\00:45:36.16
She's on the rebel side? Yep.
00:45:36.20\00:45:37.53
She's on the rebel
side. She is a rebel.
00:45:37.57\00:45:39.13
She actually made
her commitment for Christ
00:45:39.17\00:45:41.97
during the evangelistic series.
00:45:42.00\00:45:43.81
She had been
watching. That we just did.
00:45:43.84\00:45:46.27
And what you will
see and we'll show you
00:45:46.31\00:45:50.25
is a police officer
00:45:50.28\00:45:54.12
and this rebel embracing
00:45:54.15\00:45:56.75
and praying and crying together.
00:45:56.79\00:45:59.15
Only God can do that. Only God.
00:45:59.19\00:46:01.46
Yeah. Amen.
00:46:01.49\00:46:02.92
So let's go to
that video right now.
00:46:02.96\00:46:07.30
So this is the video
that we want to show you.
00:46:07.33\00:46:08.93
This is the...
One of the most...
00:46:08.96\00:46:12.30
You know, work at Christmas time
00:46:12.33\00:46:14.14
and they say this is the most
wonderful time of your life.
00:46:14.17\00:46:16.27
Well, not, not until you see if
something like this happening.
00:46:16.30\00:46:20.28
This is during the
evangelistic meetings,
00:46:20.31\00:46:22.11
so they're
studying the Bible together.
00:46:22.14\00:46:23.58
All of these rebels are studying
00:46:23.61\00:46:24.95
the Bible together, and
they're being supervised
00:46:24.98\00:46:27.68
by the military.
00:46:27.72\00:46:29.05
They're there present with them.
00:46:29.08\00:46:30.42
So military are there too.
00:46:30.45\00:46:31.79
And the military is
studying the Bibles as well.
00:46:31.82\00:46:33.15
Wow.
00:46:33.19\00:46:34.52
Because remember
here in our next section,
00:46:34.56\00:46:37.63
we'll see some
big baptisms. Yeah.
00:46:37.66\00:46:38.99
Here's this...
00:46:39.03\00:46:40.36
Military are being
baptized as well as rebels.
00:46:40.40\00:46:42.16
It's just amazing.
It's touched their heart.
00:46:42.20\00:46:43.97
And when the military
talk about their conversion,
00:46:44.00\00:46:46.30
they cry.
00:46:46.33\00:46:47.67
Here are the rebels coming in.
00:46:47.70\00:46:50.07
They're in the blue
shirts. They've got blue.
00:46:50.11\00:46:51.67
I will go shirts on.
00:46:51.71\00:46:53.34
And they had a ceremony
00:46:53.38\00:46:54.71
where they're actually coming
in one by one in single file.
00:46:54.74\00:46:58.75
And I forget, Duane,
I think there were 70.
00:46:58.78\00:47:00.92
Here's the general.
00:47:00.95\00:47:02.28
This is the general. Yeah.
00:47:02.32\00:47:03.65
And the governor. The governor.
00:47:03.69\00:47:05.02
Pastor Dulay, the mayor.
00:47:05.05\00:47:06.39
They're all up here in the front
00:47:06.42\00:47:07.76
in this very formal ceremony.
00:47:07.79\00:47:10.73
This is during COVID,
clearly with the mask.
00:47:10.76\00:47:12.99
Exactly. Exactly. Yeah.
00:47:13.03\00:47:14.46
I remember the
central government
00:47:14.50\00:47:15.90
had to get permission.
00:47:15.93\00:47:17.27
Wow. And again, no government.
00:47:17.30\00:47:18.63
You know, we can't do this...
00:47:18.67\00:47:20.00
Here, they are receiving
their certificates of amnesty.
00:47:20.04\00:47:23.10
Yeah. Wow.
00:47:23.14\00:47:24.47
Isn't that incredible? Wow.
00:47:24.51\00:47:25.84
What...
00:47:25.87\00:47:27.21
Like I said, no
government that we know of,
00:47:27.24\00:47:29.34
you know, in the world
gives amnesties to assassins.
00:47:29.38\00:47:34.22
Well, these are the two ladies,
00:47:34.25\00:47:35.72
rebel, general, and
the military general.
00:47:35.75\00:47:39.02
She... The rebel general is a...
00:47:39.05\00:47:40.59
Yeah, these...
00:47:40.62\00:47:41.96
Praying together. Watch the...
00:47:41.99\00:47:44.36
Reconciliation. Just watch.
00:47:44.39\00:47:46.90
Unbelievable.
That's the power of God.
00:47:51.77\00:47:53.57
Only God can do that.
That's the power of God.
00:47:53.60\00:47:55.34
You can imagine their
feeling, like, you know,
00:47:55.37\00:47:59.17
maybe the rebel general killed
00:47:59.21\00:48:02.81
the other one's,
00:48:02.84\00:48:05.91
you know, friend who was
out in the front line with her
00:48:05.95\00:48:08.28
or maybe the...
00:48:08.32\00:48:09.65
And the retaliation came
and the gunships came back
00:48:09.68\00:48:11.75
and the military say
they don't want to...
00:48:11.79\00:48:14.09
Yeah, they're signing.
What are they signing here?
00:48:14.12\00:48:15.46
Signing amnesties. This...
00:48:15.49\00:48:16.83
They created a document
that everyone could see,
00:48:16.86\00:48:20.13
and they signed
this huge giant document
00:48:20.16\00:48:22.50
giving amnesty to them
surrendering and the terms
00:48:22.53\00:48:25.60
of their amnesty, basically.
00:48:25.63\00:48:31.47
So, and it was signed
by all of those people
00:48:31.51\00:48:33.88
we talked about.
00:48:33.91\00:48:35.24
By all of the general,
00:48:35.28\00:48:37.78
the governor, the mayors,
the local representatives,
00:48:37.81\00:48:42.45
and the rebels.
00:48:42.48\00:48:43.82
And the guns are handed over.
00:48:43.85\00:48:46.02
They pray together.
00:48:46.05\00:48:47.39
They study the Bible together.
00:48:47.42\00:48:49.12
And they're all baptized
at different times together.
00:48:49.16\00:48:51.73
They're hugging each other.
00:48:51.76\00:48:53.09
Hugging each
other, they're crying.
00:48:53.13\00:48:54.46
It's like nothing ever happened.
00:48:54.50\00:48:55.83
Yeah, yeah.
00:48:55.86\00:48:57.20
You know, like these
people are interacting.
00:48:57.23\00:48:58.57
These two enemy
sides are interacting like
00:48:58.60\00:49:03.61
nothing ever happened,
00:49:03.64\00:49:05.17
like God has given
complete forgiveness.
00:49:05.21\00:49:08.58
Both the military
and the rebels, they...
00:49:08.61\00:49:11.11
When you talk to
them, they'll cry.
00:49:11.15\00:49:12.71
And they'll say, "You
can't imagine what I did."
00:49:12.75\00:49:14.58
I talked to a young man
during this, at this site,
00:49:14.62\00:49:18.95
another surrender.
00:49:18.99\00:49:20.82
And he said...
00:49:20.86\00:49:22.42
We've given him
a video projector
00:49:22.46\00:49:23.79
to go up in the
mountains and teach about Jesus
00:49:23.83\00:49:26.49
and the health message
00:49:26.53\00:49:27.86
and the military
we're getting them too.
00:49:27.90\00:49:29.30
And so they were being trained.
00:49:29.33\00:49:30.67
And he said to me with
tears in his eyes, he said,
00:49:30.70\00:49:32.87
"I killed the vice
mayor of this town of Rojas."
00:49:32.90\00:49:38.71
And I said...
00:49:38.74\00:49:40.08
Put my arm around him and
I said, "God forgives you."
00:49:40.11\00:49:42.94
I know.
00:49:42.98\00:49:44.31
I said, "You used
to be an assassin,
00:49:44.35\00:49:46.18
but no longer.
00:49:46.21\00:49:47.85
You're going up in the mountains
00:49:47.88\00:49:49.22
with this video projector
00:49:49.25\00:49:50.59
and you're going to
tell others about Jesus.
00:49:50.62\00:49:52.22
You're becoming an ambassador,
00:49:52.25\00:49:54.26
an evangelist for Jesus.
00:49:54.29\00:49:56.06
Amen. For Jesus.
00:49:56.09\00:49:58.99
If anyone's in
Christ, he's a new creature.
00:49:59.03\00:50:01.90
Old things have passed away,
all things have become new.
00:50:01.93\00:50:06.43
That just touches me
deeply to think what God can do.
00:50:06.47\00:50:11.27
Look at God.
00:50:11.31\00:50:12.64
I mean, what an incredible
miracle to see that happen.
00:50:12.67\00:50:16.95
It's a
foretaste of heaven. Yeah.
00:50:16.98\00:50:18.51
It really is. It is.
00:50:18.55\00:50:20.08
And you can see
these two former enemies,
00:50:20.12\00:50:22.05
I mean, hugging and crying.
00:50:22.08\00:50:23.72
You can't fake that.
00:50:23.75\00:50:25.09
This is real.
00:50:25.12\00:50:26.45
This is what God can
do to actually create love
00:50:26.49\00:50:29.89
and friendship
between former rebels.
00:50:29.92\00:50:31.49
I like to say, the
first morning in heaven.
00:50:31.53\00:50:35.06
You walk out your door
and you see your neighbor.
00:50:35.10\00:50:38.83
Maybe you don't
want to ask him or her
00:50:38.87\00:50:41.44
what she did on planet earth.
00:50:41.47\00:50:45.61
But you want to
see what Jesus did,
00:50:45.64\00:50:47.11
to redeem and forgive
and cleanse and, you know.
00:50:47.14\00:50:51.01
These people love
the Lord with a passion
00:50:51.05\00:50:54.98
that I've never seen before.
00:50:55.02\00:50:56.38
And I think it's...
00:50:56.42\00:50:57.75
It goes back to he who
is forgiven more loves more.
00:50:57.79\00:51:01.52
They are so committed,
00:51:01.56\00:51:02.89
not just to
changing their lives,
00:51:02.92\00:51:04.39
but they can't wait
to tell other people.
00:51:04.43\00:51:06.39
They can't wait. Yeah.
00:51:06.43\00:51:07.86
And you can imagine all this
is happening in the Philippines.
00:51:07.90\00:51:10.80
And AWR, I think Duane
was supposed to be there.
00:51:10.83\00:51:13.80
They couldn't be there
for this amnesty ceremony
00:51:13.84\00:51:17.04
that they had really
organized and brokered peace.
00:51:17.07\00:51:21.14
What happened?
00:51:21.18\00:51:22.51
How did God use this
situation with COVID?
00:51:22.54\00:51:25.71
We had this young
lady who's working for AWR.
00:51:25.75\00:51:29.62
She's been on...
Would that became equipment?
00:51:29.65\00:51:33.42
We love you, Cami.
00:51:33.46\00:51:34.79
I just have to say that
she is an anointed speaker
00:51:34.82\00:51:37.56
and woman of God.
00:51:37.59\00:51:38.93
And so we decided...
00:51:38.96\00:51:40.30
Well, first, we had a guy
that was going to do them.
00:51:40.33\00:51:42.46
And he kind of got cold feet.
00:51:42.50\00:51:45.07
So we decided to have
series of YouTube meetings.
00:51:45.10\00:51:48.54
And we wondered during
COVID, so we couldn't go.
00:51:48.57\00:51:51.21
So we decided that...
00:51:51.24\00:51:52.74
And, Sue, you worked so hard.
00:51:52.77\00:51:54.74
Can you tell us a little
bit about how that game began?
00:51:54.78\00:51:57.08
This would've
been in 2020. Yeah.
00:51:57.11\00:51:59.28
Okay. It was 2020.
00:51:59.31\00:52:00.85
So, you know,
we're on lock down.
00:52:00.88\00:52:03.32
So the meeting...
00:52:03.35\00:52:04.69
So she taped the
meetings in her living room
00:52:04.72\00:52:07.76
in front of her couch.
00:52:07.79\00:52:09.46
So we...
00:52:09.49\00:52:11.29
Cami wrote the messages.
00:52:11.33\00:52:14.53
We edited, edited.
00:52:14.56\00:52:15.90
I mean, we...
00:52:15.93\00:52:17.27
Hours into the night.
00:52:17.30\00:52:19.43
And we had a
videographer come over,
00:52:19.47\00:52:22.37
and in her living room,
00:52:22.40\00:52:24.34
she taped all of those messages.
00:52:24.37\00:52:27.41
And it was powerful.
00:52:27.44\00:52:30.91
You know, I saw between
what I saw in the script.
00:52:30.95\00:52:35.25
And when I saw her speaking,
00:52:35.28\00:52:38.55
I saw the Holy Spirit working.
00:52:38.59\00:52:40.92
You know, the
script was powerful,
00:52:40.96\00:52:42.82
but the Holy Spirit
that gave it that dimension
00:52:42.86\00:52:45.89
that I think went
in and touched hearts.
00:52:45.93\00:52:49.10
I mean, there
were so many baptized
00:52:49.13\00:52:51.63
because of that.
00:52:51.67\00:52:53.10
And we have had
it translated now in,
00:52:53.13\00:52:56.07
right now, 36 languages.
00:52:56.10\00:52:57.94
Wow. We're working on many more.
00:52:57.97\00:53:01.48
But what do we have?
00:53:01.51\00:53:04.15
Over 10 million views
with that series alone.
00:53:04.18\00:53:08.48
Yeah. God...
00:53:08.52\00:53:09.92
And this series,
Unlocking Bible Prophecies,
00:53:09.95\00:53:13.46
we call it UBP.
00:53:13.49\00:53:15.22
That in the Philippines,
00:53:15.26\00:53:17.29
I mean, that went
like wildfire there.
00:53:17.33\00:53:21.46
And they showed it all
around and God used that.
00:53:21.50\00:53:26.50
So even though we
couldn't be there personally,
00:53:26.53\00:53:29.77
God...
00:53:29.80\00:53:31.14
I think Duane gave you the idea
00:53:31.17\00:53:34.74
and our whole
team rallied together
00:53:34.78\00:53:37.38
because this was a team effort.
00:53:37.41\00:53:38.81
Now, we teamed
with you. You worked...
00:53:38.85\00:53:40.62
You're still working
with us on this project.
00:53:40.65\00:53:42.75
We air it on 3ABN. Yeah.
00:53:42.78\00:53:44.65
Viewers love it. We
get a tremendous response.
00:53:44.69\00:53:46.92
People love it.
Ten million views.
00:53:46.96\00:53:49.06
It's just
unbelievable this could happen.
00:53:49.09\00:53:51.56
In the Philippines
alone, in the Philippines alone,
00:53:51.59\00:53:54.40
all across the
Philippines, 200,000 baptisms.
00:53:54.43\00:53:58.13
God is... Wow.
00:53:58.17\00:53:59.67
It's just amazing.
00:53:59.70\00:54:01.04
So there's been 200,000 baptisms
00:54:01.07\00:54:04.34
across the Philippines.
00:54:04.37\00:54:05.71
Philippines, right. That's...
00:54:05.74\00:54:07.08
Amen. That's a two-hander times.
00:54:07.11\00:54:10.05
Absolutely. Yesterday,
00:54:10.08\00:54:13.01
Kathy and I, we got up.
00:54:13.05\00:54:14.38
We were going to fly
down here to St. Louis
00:54:14.42\00:54:16.95
and then all this, you know...
00:54:16.99\00:54:18.32
Right. At work.
00:54:18.35\00:54:19.69
And so I said,
"Kathy, look at this.
00:54:19.72\00:54:21.92
Look at this.
Robert Dulay just...
00:54:21.96\00:54:23.76
He just..."
00:54:23.79\00:54:25.13
He just sent him a
message about what's happening.
00:54:25.16\00:54:28.43
What was happening yesterday
00:54:28.46\00:54:31.63
with the
remainder of the rebels.
00:54:31.67\00:54:35.34
And so we didn't know.
00:54:35.37\00:54:36.71
I've been asking, "How
many are still up there?
00:54:36.74\00:54:38.07
How many are hiding?"
And he said, "There are 17."
00:54:38.11\00:54:41.51
Seventeen? Seventeen.
00:54:41.54\00:54:44.35
That's it. Only...
00:54:44.38\00:54:45.75
We had 700.
00:54:45.78\00:54:47.12
These are the,
not just the rebels,
00:54:47.15\00:54:49.72
you know, they're thousands
that were having been baptized,
00:54:49.75\00:54:52.75
but these are the assassins.
00:54:52.79\00:54:55.29
Oh, wow. These are the bad guys.
00:54:55.32\00:54:58.13
He said, "They're 17 left."
00:54:58.16\00:55:00.43
And he said, "I just
got a message from them.
00:55:00.46\00:55:03.83
They said, 'Come up.
00:55:03.87\00:55:05.20
We want to talk to you.'"
00:55:05.23\00:55:07.14
And General
Viario... How do you...
00:55:07.17\00:55:09.34
What's his name? Viario.
00:55:09.37\00:55:10.71
Viario. Viario.
00:55:10.74\00:55:12.94
He's the general
in charge. Right.
00:55:12.97\00:55:14.74
Military. Right.
00:55:14.78\00:55:16.11
And he says, "Don't go."
00:55:16.14\00:55:17.68
He said, "This is
all this is happening.
00:55:17.71\00:55:19.45
You baptize all these people
in the military and all this.
00:55:19.48\00:55:22.58
Don't go. You're being set up."
00:55:22.62\00:55:25.15
And Robert's says,
"I think I need to go.
00:55:25.19\00:55:28.02
I think God is
telling me to go."
00:55:28.06\00:55:29.79
And Sue is just
telling us about her prayer.
00:55:29.82\00:55:33.76
You know,
praying that God would...
00:55:33.80\00:55:36.06
It's amazing.
00:55:36.10\00:55:37.43
So now Robert said...
00:55:37.47\00:55:38.93
And then his wife
said, "Robert, don't you go.
00:55:38.97\00:55:41.10
They're going
to kill you." Yeah.
00:55:41.14\00:55:44.21
And Kathy is thinking...
00:55:44.24\00:55:46.27
Well, this Robert
listens to the Holy Spirit.
00:55:46.31\00:55:51.95
Amen.
00:55:51.98\00:55:53.31
And his wife was very hesitant,
00:55:53.35\00:55:55.62
you know, saying, "Don't go."
00:55:55.65\00:55:57.82
But he went.
00:55:57.85\00:55:59.75
And the military said,
00:55:59.79\00:56:01.46
if you're not
back by 10 o'clock,
00:56:01.49\00:56:05.26
we're sending a
group up to the mountain.
00:56:05.29\00:56:08.23
Reinforcements. Reinforcements.
00:56:08.26\00:56:09.60
Yeah, we're
going to, we're rescue.
00:56:09.63\00:56:11.43
Can you imagine
what that would've done
00:56:11.47\00:56:13.84
to the whole project?
00:56:13.87\00:56:15.20
Yes. God's name.
00:56:15.24\00:56:16.57
I mean, wow. So
Robert Dulay is killed.
00:56:16.60\00:56:22.01
And anyway, he went.
00:56:22.04\00:56:23.65
10 o'clock came. The rebels...
00:56:23.68\00:56:27.68
Robert had met with the rebels.
00:56:27.72\00:56:29.12
And the military
general, he had said we,
00:56:29.15\00:56:33.09
you know, he's
getting ready to go.
00:56:33.12\00:56:35.19
And the soldiers are
starting up the mountain.
00:56:35.22\00:56:37.16
And Robert comes
back down yesterday.
00:56:37.19\00:56:39.13
Oh, wow. He comes back down.
00:56:39.16\00:56:40.76
He said, "It's all set."
00:56:40.80\00:56:42.66
They're all going to surrender.
00:56:42.70\00:56:44.27
They want an amnesty, all 17.
00:56:44.30\00:56:47.67
Look at God.
00:56:47.70\00:56:49.04
You know? And so...
00:56:49.07\00:56:51.71
And then he said,
00:56:51.74\00:56:53.17
"The others in that whole area
00:56:53.21\00:56:54.91
who have been baptized already,
00:56:54.94\00:56:56.54
the others are
preparing tomorrow to start
00:56:56.58\00:57:01.42
a reaping campaign,
each one reach one, tomorrow,
00:57:01.45\00:57:05.22
in that whole area."
00:57:05.25\00:57:06.59
That's incredible.
00:57:06.62\00:57:07.96
You know,
00:57:07.99\00:57:09.32
Sue, you were impressed to
pray this incredible prayer
00:57:09.36\00:57:12.96
that even Duane
told me, he thought, "Oh,
00:57:12.99\00:57:16.10
Sue's going to be disappointed."
00:57:16.13\00:57:17.50
This wonderful
prayer where you prayed
00:57:17.53\00:57:21.60
that all of these
rebels would hear the gospel.
00:57:21.64\00:57:23.71
No one believed it,
but the Lord did it.
00:57:23.74\00:57:25.27
He answered
your prayers exactly.
00:57:25.31\00:57:27.74
What if you hadn't
prayed that prayer?
00:57:27.78\00:57:29.21
Praise God, our
prayers are so important.
00:57:29.24\00:57:30.85
Amen. What an
incredible miracle.
00:57:30.88\00:57:33.05
I'm so sorry.
00:57:33.08\00:57:34.42
We're at the end
of the first hour.
00:57:34.45\00:57:35.78
We are going to take a
break, switch out some guests,
00:57:35.82\00:57:37.95
and continue this
exciting miracle story
00:57:37.99\00:57:41.02
from terrorist to Adventist.
00:57:41.06\00:57:43.12
