I cannot believe
00:00:10.04\00:00:11.37
how fast this
first hour has gone by.
00:00:11.41\00:00:14.18
What an incredible miracle
to see what God is doing,
00:00:14.21\00:00:17.05
how God is bringing healing,
and forgiveness, and cleansing,
00:00:17.08\00:00:20.72
and reconciliation
between former enemies,
00:00:20.75\00:00:24.29
between the rebel army there
in Mindoro in the Philippines,
00:00:24.32\00:00:29.19
and the government, to
see that bringing together,
00:00:29.22\00:00:32.56
God to break down those walls.
00:00:32.59\00:00:35.36
I'm so excited
about this program.
00:00:35.40\00:00:37.37
If you are just joining us
and you missed the first hour,
00:00:37.40\00:00:40.27
shame on you.
00:00:40.30\00:00:41.64
Actually no, you
can go to YouTube
00:00:41.67\00:00:43.81
and you can watch it
any time or 3abnplus. tv
00:00:43.84\00:00:47.61
You can watch it
on demand anytime
00:00:47.64\00:00:49.34
and you can catch up
and see those videos,
00:00:49.38\00:00:51.28
the miracles of
how God is using AWR.
00:00:51.31\00:00:55.55
The title of this entire program
00:00:55.58\00:00:57.19
is From Terrorist to Adventist.
00:00:57.22\00:00:59.95
Look at God, praise the
Lord for what He can do.
00:00:59.99\00:01:03.32
I'm going to introduce you
to the family one more time
00:01:03.36\00:01:06.33
in case you
missed the first hour
00:01:06.36\00:01:07.80
and we also traded out guests.
00:01:07.83\00:01:09.23
So we got to
introduce the new guests to you.
00:01:09.26\00:01:11.70
To my right, elder Duane McKey,
who is the president of AWR,
00:01:11.73\00:01:16.34
and sitting next to
him is his beautiful wife,
00:01:16.37\00:01:19.61
Kathy McKey,
00:01:19.64\00:01:21.18
who is the Social
Media Outreach coordinator
00:01:21.21\00:01:23.88
for the General Conference.
00:01:23.91\00:01:25.25
As we come around the island,
00:01:25.28\00:01:27.12
Ambassador Kathryn Proffitt
00:01:27.15\00:01:29.55
and you're a
board member for AWR
00:01:29.58\00:01:32.82
as well as the board chair
00:01:32.85\00:01:34.19
for Your Best Pathway to Health.
00:01:34.22\00:01:35.56
I just got to get in
Your Best Pathway to Health.
00:01:35.59\00:01:37.93
In a lot, we
all sit on the board
00:01:37.96\00:01:39.39
of Your Best
Pathway to Health as well.
00:01:39.43\00:01:41.26
Everyone here.
00:01:41.30\00:01:42.63
That's right,
we're all board members.
00:01:42.66\00:01:44.57
And last but not least,
00:01:44.60\00:01:46.00
this is our
newest family member.
00:01:46.03\00:01:47.67
This is Pastor Kyle Allen,
00:01:47.70\00:01:49.80
who is the vice president of AWR
00:01:49.84\00:01:52.01
and what a blessing
to have you here tonight.
00:01:52.04\00:01:55.08
Amen. Thank you so much.
00:01:55.11\00:01:57.18
Glad to be here.
00:01:57.21\00:01:58.55
Actually he's
Dr. Allen. Dr. Allen.
00:01:58.58\00:02:00.05
Yes, he just
finished his doctorate.
00:02:00.08\00:02:01.75
So we're very proud of
him. What's your doctorate in?
00:02:01.78\00:02:04.29
It's doctorate in Ministry
and studying Health Evangelism.
00:02:04.32\00:02:07.06
So it was really exciting.
00:02:07.09\00:02:08.42
Health Evangelism
like Pathway stuff?
00:02:08.46\00:02:10.33
Yeah, actually
Pathway is a part of,
00:02:10.36\00:02:12.09
in fact, I had
to interview Kathy.
00:02:12.13\00:02:15.16
It's about that model
and combining the gospel...
00:02:15.20\00:02:19.13
Yeah.
00:02:19.17\00:02:20.50
And the amazing thing is
listening to the first hour,
00:02:20.54\00:02:23.51
we saw how health and the gospel
00:02:23.54\00:02:25.91
combined to reach
the hearts of the rebels.
00:02:25.94\00:02:27.91
Listen to the story of
Effren and he talked about this.
00:02:27.94\00:02:29.88
Absolutely. Amen.
00:02:29.91\00:02:32.08
So we ended the
first hour talking about
00:02:32.11\00:02:34.32
what happened during COVID,
00:02:34.35\00:02:35.68
and how evangelism
did not stop at AWR.
00:02:35.72\00:02:38.25
Cami Oetman preached
00:02:38.29\00:02:40.02
the incredible
evangelistic series
00:02:40.06\00:02:41.79
Unlocking Bible Prophecy.
00:02:41.82\00:02:43.16
And tell us, Dr.
Kyle, what happened
00:02:43.19\00:02:46.49
with the
baptisms there undercover?
00:02:46.53\00:02:47.93
Well, you know, so it's
COVID, and churches are closed.
00:02:47.96\00:02:51.13
So you can't have baptisms
00:02:51.17\00:02:52.73
in the
baptisteries and churches.
00:02:52.77\00:02:54.10
But that doesn't
stop the Holy Spirit
00:02:54.14\00:02:56.44
because people are
still getting converted.
00:02:56.47\00:02:58.97
They're coming to Christ.
00:02:59.01\00:03:00.38
And they're watching
Unlocking Bible Prophecies
00:03:00.41\00:03:02.58
and Earth's Final Countdown
and our digital missionaries.
00:03:02.61\00:03:04.98
We're doing Bible studies over,
you know, YouTube and Facebook.
00:03:05.01\00:03:08.38
And so many people
were making decisions,
00:03:08.42\00:03:10.32
but where to baptize them.
00:03:10.35\00:03:11.79
So the Filipinos came up
with a very creative solution,
00:03:11.82\00:03:15.29
Duane, Jill, Kathy, Kathy.
00:03:15.32\00:03:19.49
They said, "Okay, we
can't go in the churches
00:03:19.53\00:03:22.16
but we've got a solution.
00:03:22.20\00:03:23.53
A huge dump truck,
lined with plastic,
00:03:23.57\00:03:26.20
filled it with water,
00:03:26.23\00:03:27.57
and you've got a
mobile baptistery."
00:03:27.60\00:03:29.27
We've got a picture of it.
00:03:29.30\00:03:31.14
We have a picture.
00:03:31.17\00:03:32.51
Well, I got to see that.
00:03:32.54\00:03:33.98
There it is. There it is.
00:03:34.01\00:03:35.84
Oh, that's incredible.
00:03:35.88\00:03:37.21
And so they would
drive this truck around
00:03:37.25\00:03:39.35
and baptize people
at the various places.
00:03:39.38\00:03:41.92
The Holy Spirit was
moving in powerful ways.
00:03:41.95\00:03:44.55
And so, yeah, and so COVID came,
00:03:44.59\00:03:47.36
but it didn't stop
the work of the gospel.
00:03:47.39\00:03:51.16
But you know, this
also, people were desperate,
00:03:51.19\00:03:55.00
they want to get baptized now.
00:03:55.03\00:03:56.36
They didn't want to wait.
00:03:56.40\00:03:57.73
There were so many
00:03:57.77\00:03:59.10
but there were really
hundreds and thousands
00:03:59.13\00:04:00.77
that had made their decision.
00:04:00.80\00:04:02.40
And the Holy Spirit
was working so powerfully
00:04:02.44\00:04:06.01
that Duane decided we
need to go personally.
00:04:06.04\00:04:10.08
Why don't you
tell them a little bit
00:04:10.11\00:04:12.61
about how we
decided to come back?
00:04:12.65\00:04:14.62
How you decided to come back?
00:04:14.65\00:04:15.98
Now we are
fast-forwarding to 2021.
00:04:16.02\00:04:18.19
Right.
00:04:18.22\00:04:19.55
That's now.
00:04:19.59\00:04:20.92
That is now.
00:04:20.96\00:04:22.29
We just got back.
For a couple more weeks.
00:04:22.32\00:04:24.23
Yeah, the four of us,
00:04:24.26\00:04:25.59
we just got back
from the Philippines.
00:04:25.63\00:04:28.26
It was amazing because they said
00:04:28.30\00:04:29.73
we couldn't come
because of COVID.
00:04:29.76\00:04:32.60
The country was
locked down and you can't go
00:04:32.63\00:04:35.80
and then we got a little
glimpse of a little light
00:04:35.84\00:04:40.28
and I talked to Elder Wilson
00:04:40.31\00:04:41.64
and we plan this
actually for a long time.
00:04:41.68\00:04:44.25
And he wanted to go in
the worst way and we did
00:04:44.28\00:04:47.35
and so we worked
with Robert Dulay
00:04:47.38\00:04:49.55
and we worked with an
ambassador, with Eric,
00:04:49.58\00:04:51.22
Kathy Proffitt, with
Allen, more about Tejano,
00:04:51.25\00:04:54.56
but it's just amazing
how finally came together.
00:04:54.59\00:04:57.86
We kept getting almost
every day or every two days,
00:04:57.89\00:05:01.76
we get a different signal.
00:05:01.80\00:05:03.57
You know, you
have to be sequestered.
00:05:03.60\00:05:07.14
You don't have to be,
it has to be for one day,
00:05:07.17\00:05:09.67
it has to be for two
days, it has to be for one week,
00:05:09.70\00:05:12.27
it has to be for two weeks.
00:05:12.31\00:05:13.71
And finally, Elder
Wilson and I had a talk.
00:05:13.74\00:05:16.58
And we had gotten this,
it's coming down the line.
00:05:16.61\00:05:20.75
We had to get our visas
and they haven't come through
00:05:20.78\00:05:24.32
and it's been
kind of complicated.
00:05:24.35\00:05:25.82
And all of a
sudden, he said, "Duane,"
00:05:25.85\00:05:29.42
we're talking on the phone.
00:05:29.46\00:05:30.79
He said, "We're not going."
00:05:30.83\00:05:32.19
I said, "My
suggestion is, Elder Wilson,
00:05:32.23\00:05:35.53
is that we put it off
until now, until December."
00:05:35.56\00:05:40.27
The fall. Yeah.
00:05:40.30\00:05:41.64
Until December, this
is November, December now.
00:05:41.67\00:05:44.51
Okay.
00:05:44.54\00:05:45.87
And so, and we agreed.
00:05:45.91\00:05:48.18
So he goes home that
night talks to Nancy.
00:05:48.21\00:05:51.05
And I said to him,
00:05:51.08\00:05:52.71
"How can the
General Conference president
00:05:52.75\00:05:54.25
be shut down at a
hotel for 10 days.
00:05:54.28\00:05:57.49
It's not going to work.
00:05:57.52\00:05:58.85
We got to cancel or put it off."
00:05:58.89\00:06:00.46
Right. And so we agreed.
00:06:00.49\00:06:02.52
And he talks to
Nancy that night.
00:06:02.56\00:06:04.26
And Nancy says, "Ted,
we're not going to die
00:06:04.29\00:06:10.23
if we had to
stay in a hotel room
00:06:10.27\00:06:11.90
for 10 days together."
00:06:11.93\00:06:14.70
Praise the Lord for godly wife.
00:06:14.74\00:06:16.34
Amen.
00:06:16.37\00:06:19.34
So they, that's what
they came back the next day,
00:06:19.37\00:06:21.74
and we're going to go.
00:06:21.78\00:06:23.95
We get locked up for 10 days.
00:06:23.98\00:06:25.65
We're going to enjoy
the time. Still going to go.
00:06:25.68\00:06:27.85
We're going to work on
YouTube, it's going to be fine.
00:06:27.88\00:06:30.49
Not YouTube, but Zoom.
00:06:30.52\00:06:32.22
But yeah, so.
00:06:32.25\00:06:33.66
But the problem was,
00:06:33.69\00:06:36.32
we couldn't get
into the Philippines.
00:06:36.36\00:06:38.26
The Philippines
really suffered with COVID
00:06:38.29\00:06:41.30
because they didn't
have access to the vaccines
00:06:41.33\00:06:43.67
as quickly as we did.
00:06:43.70\00:06:45.03
And it was devastating.
00:06:45.07\00:06:46.40
So the government had
closed all tourist visas.
00:06:46.43\00:06:50.34
And there were
different categories.
00:06:50.37\00:06:52.31
We were yellow country,
00:06:52.34\00:06:53.68
yellow countries could not come.
00:06:53.71\00:06:55.58
And there were no
visas being issued,
00:06:55.61\00:06:59.68
unless there was a
special authorization,
00:06:59.71\00:07:02.92
and it had to be signed
00:07:02.95\00:07:04.29
by the Secretary
of the Department
00:07:04.32\00:07:06.65
of Foreign Affairs.
00:07:06.69\00:07:08.02
So the equivalent to
our Department of State.
00:07:08.06\00:07:10.43
That was the only
way to get a visa.
00:07:10.46\00:07:12.36
Well, so the decisions made,
00:07:12.39\00:07:14.00
we're going, we
don't have a visa,
00:07:14.03\00:07:16.77
we don't have a way
to get into the country.
00:07:16.80\00:07:19.40
And so this is where I'd like
to introduce you to someone,
00:07:19.43\00:07:23.20
if we can show
the group picture.
00:07:23.24\00:07:25.94
This is some of the people
that went with us on our trip.
00:07:25.97\00:07:28.61
And I want to point
out an individual to you.
00:07:28.64\00:07:32.65
So the very far left, gentlemen,
00:07:32.68\00:07:35.75
this is Ambassador...
00:07:35.78\00:07:37.12
Bien Tejano. Yes.
00:07:37.15\00:07:39.22
You know Bien
Tejano. Oh, we love him.
00:07:39.25\00:07:41.59
He's been to 3ABN
and we work closely, yes.
00:07:41.62\00:07:44.03
Anyway, God has used this
individual for many years.
00:07:44.06\00:07:47.83
But what many people don't know,
00:07:47.86\00:07:49.30
and this is the
exciting thing about the story
00:07:49.33\00:07:51.60
is God knew that 24 years later,
00:07:51.63\00:07:57.34
AWR needed to come.
00:07:57.37\00:07:58.71
So 20...
00:07:58.74\00:08:00.08
Going back 24 years,
Pastor Tejano, not ambassador,
00:08:00.11\00:08:04.91
but Pastor Tejano was a
pastor who really worked hard
00:08:04.95\00:08:08.65
with the anti-drug program.
00:08:08.68\00:08:10.22
And he made such an impression.
00:08:10.25\00:08:11.89
He was called to the palace.
00:08:11.92\00:08:14.26
And he was
introduced to the president,
00:08:14.29\00:08:17.33
who was thanking him.
00:08:17.36\00:08:18.99
And whatever he said it
was the Holy Spirit thing.
00:08:19.03\00:08:22.63
The president
became so impressed.
00:08:22.66\00:08:24.57
He said, "Come over here.
00:08:24.60\00:08:26.67
Raise your hand.
00:08:26.70\00:08:28.04
I'm going to swear
you in as an ambassador.
00:08:28.07\00:08:30.51
You just have to tell me
00:08:30.54\00:08:31.87
what country you want to go to."
00:08:31.91\00:08:34.54
And Pastor Tejano
said, "I'm a pastor.
00:08:34.58\00:08:38.35
I'm not a diplomat."
00:08:38.38\00:08:39.71
And the division president said,
00:08:39.75\00:08:42.72
"This is of God, don't refuse."
00:08:42.75\00:08:44.95
Be a Daniel. "Don't refuse."
00:08:44.99\00:08:47.39
And so 24 years ago,
he became an ambassador.
00:08:47.42\00:08:51.73
Now normally, I can tell you,
he was a political appointee.
00:08:51.76\00:08:55.33
This president picked him.
00:08:55.36\00:08:58.10
One president is
voted out of office,
00:08:58.13\00:09:02.40
and usually the
opposite party comes in.
00:09:02.44\00:09:05.41
He had done such
good work, they kept him.
00:09:05.44\00:09:07.21
They did.
00:09:07.24\00:09:08.58
And that happened
over and over and over.
00:09:08.61\00:09:09.94
You know the story,
Jill, because you know him,
00:09:09.98\00:09:12.61
because and he's done
amazing things for the church.
00:09:12.65\00:09:15.12
He's done amazing.
He is still a pastor.
00:09:15.15\00:09:17.49
He's still a pastor.
00:09:17.52\00:09:19.89
And he, the Lord
knew that 24 years
00:09:19.92\00:09:23.22
from the day of that
meeting in the palace,
00:09:23.26\00:09:26.39
we needed Ambassador Tejano,
00:09:26.43\00:09:28.10
because it was his
relationship with the palace,
00:09:28.13\00:09:31.87
with the president,
00:09:31.90\00:09:33.23
as well as with the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
00:09:33.27\00:09:36.54
Because of him we got the
visa, but here's the situation.
00:09:36.57\00:09:39.67
Okay.
00:09:39.71\00:09:41.21
Imagine Elder
Wilson and Mrs. Wilson
00:09:41.24\00:09:44.15
are supposed to go to
Turkey and then from Turkey...
00:09:44.18\00:09:46.82
You are leaving
a little bit out.
00:09:46.85\00:09:48.18
Okay, tell me Duane.
00:09:48.22\00:09:49.55
What did I leave out?
No, Pathways, remember?
00:09:49.58\00:09:52.55
Oh, yes. Okay, Pathways.
00:09:52.59\00:09:54.19
She has a comrade in
Pathways who works with her,
00:09:54.22\00:09:57.66
who works in Guam,
who's been to the Philippines.
00:09:57.69\00:10:01.80
And so, she's a
nurse and she's...
00:10:01.83\00:10:04.37
She's doctor, yeah.
00:10:04.40\00:10:05.73
A doctor, okay.
00:10:05.77\00:10:07.10
Yeah, that's right.
I'm sorry. She's a doctor.
00:10:07.14\00:10:08.50
And so, Kathy calls me up.
00:10:08.54\00:10:11.51
You can't go why?
00:10:11.54\00:10:13.04
It's terrible
in the Philippines,
00:10:13.07\00:10:14.41
this doctor in Guam,
she's been there several times.
00:10:14.44\00:10:17.58
There's COVID, is
everywhere, we can't go.
00:10:17.61\00:10:19.65
It's not safe. It's not safe.
00:10:19.68\00:10:21.45
We shouldn't go. It's true.
00:10:21.48\00:10:23.39
So they were
all of these blocks.
00:10:23.42\00:10:26.32
All this stuff, oh, terrible.
00:10:26.35\00:10:28.22
You know, when the
devil tries that hard, Jill,
00:10:28.26\00:10:31.19
to block us,
00:10:31.23\00:10:32.56
we know that something
amazing is going to happen.
00:10:32.59\00:10:35.83
It's going to happen.
00:10:35.86\00:10:37.20
I remember a text
I got from Ms. Kathy,
00:10:37.23\00:10:41.20
while you were over
there in the Philippines,
00:10:41.24\00:10:42.77
and she said, "Guess what, Jill,
00:10:42.80\00:10:44.21
I'm watching
3ABN in the hotel room
00:10:44.24\00:10:46.37
while we're here on quarantine."
00:10:46.41\00:10:47.74
Exactly. Yeah, there was 3ABN.
00:10:47.78\00:10:50.21
And you know, you
walked around your room,
00:10:50.25\00:10:51.58
you got your steps in.
00:10:51.61\00:10:52.95
Yeah, I did. Watched 3ABN.
00:10:52.98\00:10:54.62
You know...
00:10:54.65\00:10:55.98
Had your meals
delivered to the room.
00:10:56.02\00:10:57.35
Meals delivered on a
chair outside your door,
00:10:57.39\00:10:59.35
you were locked in your
room for that whole time...
00:10:59.39\00:11:02.52
It was
incredible. But you know what?
00:11:02.56\00:11:04.83
Somehow God brought us through
00:11:04.86\00:11:06.19
and we knew what was
coming on the other end.
00:11:06.23\00:11:07.56
So it made it all worth
it. Made it all worth it.
00:11:07.60\00:11:09.63
And there was,
you know, I thought
00:11:09.66\00:11:11.10
I would have all this
time to catch up on things.
00:11:11.13\00:11:13.74
We were busy. Very busy.
00:11:13.77\00:11:15.40
There were Zoom
calls and meetings
00:11:15.44\00:11:17.31
and planning for
the rest of the trip.
00:11:17.34\00:11:18.94
But there were
also division meetings
00:11:18.97\00:11:20.31
that were happening,
00:11:20.34\00:11:21.68
you were in meetings,
00:11:21.71\00:11:23.04
so there were Zoom
calls every single day.
00:11:23.08\00:11:24.48
Yeah. That's right.
00:11:24.51\00:11:26.25
Anyway, Lord.
00:11:26.28\00:11:29.02
I told Kathy, I said,
00:11:29.05\00:11:30.39
"I wish the Lord
wouldn't do this.
00:11:30.42\00:11:31.95
This is too hard on my heart."
00:11:31.99\00:11:33.52
I'm kind of getting
old, you know, I take this.
00:11:33.56\00:11:39.49
And then we
received a phone call
00:11:39.53\00:11:41.80
that the
President of the Republic
00:11:41.83\00:11:43.90
wanted to meet our delegation,
00:11:43.93\00:11:46.70
which was incredible.
00:11:46.74\00:11:48.07
It was incredible. It was.
00:11:48.10\00:11:49.44
So, Duane, why don't
you tell a little bit?
00:11:49.47\00:11:52.21
And he asked for a
meeting, and guess what?
00:11:52.24\00:11:55.01
It was exactly on the day
we were out of quarantine.
00:11:55.04\00:11:58.15
In other words we
couldn't have come.
00:11:58.18\00:11:59.78
Just in time. Yeah.
00:11:59.81\00:12:01.18
Just in time. Yes.
00:12:01.22\00:12:02.55
Just in time.
00:12:02.58\00:12:03.92
And then we had to get tested.
00:12:03.95\00:12:05.59
I think we got
tested three times
00:12:05.62\00:12:07.06
just to go see the president.
00:12:07.09\00:12:08.59
It's just Kathy says,
00:12:08.62\00:12:11.59
"Again?"
00:12:11.63\00:12:14.70
Yes.
00:12:14.73\00:12:16.06
I think we brought some pictures
00:12:16.10\00:12:17.43
that show that meeting.
00:12:17.47\00:12:18.80
Yeah, we do.
That's very exciting.
00:12:18.83\00:12:20.44
So this is the meeting
between when you all went there,
00:12:20.47\00:12:24.04
and with the
President of the Philippines?
00:12:24.07\00:12:26.31
That's right.
00:12:26.34\00:12:27.71
He was very gracious
to us, very gracious.
00:12:27.74\00:12:30.75
Some of our
people had cell phones,
00:12:30.78\00:12:33.45
and they weren't supposed
to, it was against the law.
00:12:33.48\00:12:36.52
But the
President said to security,
00:12:36.55\00:12:41.49
"We want the Adventist to
know that we can trust them."
00:12:41.52\00:12:44.83
Oh, wow.
00:12:44.86\00:12:46.19
"Let them bring
their cell phones."
00:12:46.23\00:12:47.56
It was...
00:12:47.60\00:12:49.23
So those are the
cell phone pictures
00:12:49.26\00:12:50.80
from your meeting?
00:12:50.83\00:12:52.17
Yeah.
00:12:52.20\00:12:53.54
And what was the
purpose of this meeting?
00:12:53.57\00:12:54.90
We pitch to it a little
bit at the very beginning.
00:12:54.94\00:12:56.64
You know, the first hour
00:12:56.67\00:12:58.01
with the amnesty for the rebels.
00:12:58.04\00:12:59.47
Talk to us about that?
00:12:59.51\00:13:00.84
We just wanted
to thank him. Okay.
00:13:00.88\00:13:02.34
Yeah, we wanted to thank him.
00:13:02.38\00:13:03.71
He wanted to meet us
and thank us for coming.
00:13:03.75\00:13:05.11
And it was just a
really nice meeting.
00:13:05.15\00:13:07.32
He was very cordial.
00:13:07.35\00:13:08.68
He wasn't feeling
well, we heard later,
00:13:08.72\00:13:10.25
and he saw us anyway.
00:13:10.29\00:13:11.85
And it was just exciting.
00:13:11.89\00:13:14.56
And he told us some things that,
00:13:14.59\00:13:16.09
from his political standpoint,
that was rather enlightening.
00:13:16.12\00:13:20.70
But such a gracious man
00:13:20.73\00:13:24.27
and he assured us
how much they appreciated
00:13:24.30\00:13:28.87
the Seventh-day
Adventist Church.
00:13:28.90\00:13:30.24
And normally, we were told
by the attorney of the palace,
00:13:30.27\00:13:34.18
normally he sees
people for five minutes.
00:13:34.21\00:13:36.34
Wow.
00:13:36.38\00:13:37.81
He saw us, and
Elder Wilson talked to him
00:13:37.85\00:13:41.02
and shared with him
and prayed with him...
00:13:41.05\00:13:43.52
Amen.
00:13:43.55\00:13:44.89
Thirty six minutes.
00:13:44.92\00:13:46.55
Wow.
00:13:46.59\00:13:48.36
I think it's unusual
00:13:48.39\00:13:49.89
to have a prayer in
that kind of a meeting.
00:13:49.92\00:13:51.66
And yet when Pastor
Wilson asked permission,
00:13:51.69\00:13:56.16
"President Duterte,
could I pray for you?
00:13:56.20\00:13:59.17
And could I pray
for your country?"
00:13:59.20\00:14:01.17
He stood up to show
his respect for God.
00:14:01.20\00:14:04.74
It was wonderful.
00:14:04.77\00:14:06.11
It was and you know, Duane,
00:14:06.14\00:14:08.01
we wanted to thank
him for the amnesty.
00:14:08.04\00:14:11.11
Yeah. We didn't
ask for this meeting.
00:14:11.15\00:14:12.91
Right. He asked for it.
00:14:12.95\00:14:14.32
Wow.
00:14:14.35\00:14:15.68
So God is
amazing what He can do.
00:14:15.72\00:14:17.35
Yes.
00:14:17.39\00:14:18.72
And then in the
prayer and in the talk,
00:14:18.75\00:14:20.12
and also in the prayer
all of us have thanked him
00:14:20.16\00:14:22.62
for giving
amnesty to the rebels.
00:14:22.66\00:14:24.36
Amen.
00:14:24.39\00:14:25.73
So this is a big deal
for the cause of the rebels.
00:14:25.76\00:14:27.10
No, this is a big deal.
00:14:27.13\00:14:28.46
The war has been 50 years?
00:14:28.50\00:14:29.83
Fifty years, 40,000 people.
00:14:29.86\00:14:32.17
Now I was thinking,
we think of the 200,000
00:14:32.20\00:14:35.70
that were baptized
in the Philippines.
00:14:35.74\00:14:37.31
Yes.
00:14:37.34\00:14:39.41
Forty thousand died
in the last 50 years.
00:14:39.44\00:14:42.11
Yeah.
00:14:42.14\00:14:43.48
It just reminds me, Jill,
of this verse in Proverbs,
00:14:43.51\00:14:47.02
where Solomon says,
00:14:47.05\00:14:48.38
"Do you see a man
who excels in his work,
00:14:48.42\00:14:49.78
he will stand before kings."
00:14:49.82\00:14:52.09
And you know,
it's just a testimony
00:14:52.12\00:14:55.16
that what's
happening through AWR,
00:14:55.19\00:14:58.06
through the power of the gospel,
00:14:58.09\00:14:59.43
the work of the
Seventh-day Adventist Church,
00:14:59.46\00:15:01.23
it's being noticed by the
leaders of these countries
00:15:01.26\00:15:05.47
and President of Philippines
00:15:05.50\00:15:07.04
and it's just an
incredible testimony
00:15:07.07\00:15:08.54
to the power of God's Word.
00:15:08.57\00:15:10.54
Amen.
00:15:10.57\00:15:11.91
We could sit and
have a whole another hour
00:15:11.94\00:15:13.34
just for conversation
00:15:13.38\00:15:14.71
but I know we have
several videos too.
00:15:14.74\00:15:16.31
So let's go to,
this is the first video
00:15:16.34\00:15:18.75
for this second hour.
00:15:18.78\00:15:20.65
And I know we're
going to talk over it
00:15:20.68\00:15:22.02
but it has to do with
Earth's Final Countdown,
00:15:22.05\00:15:24.75
which was the name
00:15:24.79\00:15:26.12
for your
evangelistic meetings held there
00:15:26.15\00:15:28.46
and set that up for us
00:15:28.49\00:15:29.82
what we're gonna see.
00:15:29.86\00:15:31.19
Okay. Sure.
00:15:31.23\00:15:32.56
So, what happened after
we got out of quarantine,
00:15:32.59\00:15:35.00
then the next day we
went to the island of Mindoro,
00:15:35.03\00:15:37.93
where Elder Wilson was
doing the final sermons
00:15:37.97\00:15:41.37
in this series that Duane,
00:15:41.40\00:15:43.37
and he had been broadcasting
for the weeks before.
00:15:43.41\00:15:47.64
After Mindoro,
00:15:47.68\00:15:49.01
we went with Elder
Wilson to Cebu and to Mindanao
00:15:49.04\00:15:51.95
to visit some of these places.
00:15:51.98\00:15:53.72
And they were having
baptisms everywhere we went.
00:15:53.75\00:15:56.85
In fact, we were in Mindanao,
00:15:56.89\00:15:58.65
they were doing
baptisms on Zoom.
00:15:58.69\00:16:00.86
And all these places had
done Earth's Final Countdown,
00:16:00.89\00:16:03.09
hundreds of sites.
00:16:03.12\00:16:04.46
We sat there on this huge screen
00:16:04.49\00:16:05.89
watching baptism
after baptism after baptism,
00:16:05.93\00:16:08.26
thousands of people
00:16:08.30\00:16:09.70
being baptized at the same time.
00:16:09.73\00:16:11.07
It was an incredible experience
00:16:11.10\00:16:12.43
to see how the
Holy Spirit moves,
00:16:12.47\00:16:13.80
And they tell us
over 60,000 were baptized.
00:16:13.84\00:16:16.37
Sixty thousand... Wow!
00:16:16.40\00:16:17.81
With that event?
00:16:17.84\00:16:19.17
Whole across.
00:16:19.21\00:16:20.54
Yeah, it's just
amazing, thrilling.
00:16:20.58\00:16:22.71
So let's take a look
at this video right now.
00:16:22.74\00:16:26.08
Okay.
00:16:26.11\00:16:27.98
So what are we seeing here?
00:16:28.02\00:16:29.35
So what we're seeing
00:16:29.38\00:16:30.72
is when we came to
do the final meeting.
00:16:30.75\00:16:32.49
So we're in the car
with President Wilson
00:16:32.52\00:16:34.59
and with President McKey,
00:16:34.62\00:16:37.33
they lined up
cheering and clapping,
00:16:37.36\00:16:40.83
hundreds of the
rebels, hundreds of the rebels.
00:16:40.86\00:16:44.13
It was incredible.
00:16:44.17\00:16:45.50
The military with
their protection...
00:16:45.53\00:16:46.87
It was amazing. So
here is the audience.
00:16:46.90\00:16:48.97
It's full of hundreds of people
00:16:49.00\00:16:50.77
and we're
beginning to the meetings.
00:16:50.81\00:16:53.84
Just as we got to the point
00:16:53.88\00:16:55.31
where Elder Wilson was
going to begin his sermon,
00:16:55.34\00:16:58.05
there was this
incredible rainstorm.
00:16:58.08\00:17:00.78
I see it coming down.
00:17:00.82\00:17:02.15
Was huge, I've never
seen rain. It was horrible.
00:17:02.18\00:17:03.72
I didn't know you
could have horizontal rain.
00:17:03.75\00:17:05.72
It was pouring down
and all the rebels left.
00:17:05.75\00:17:08.46
Everyone left.
00:17:08.49\00:17:09.82
We thought, "Oh,
no after all this?"
00:17:09.86\00:17:12.59
We thought they
left. We thought they left.
00:17:12.63\00:17:14.23
They were gone.
00:17:14.26\00:17:15.60
And so we're looking at
the rain and Pastor McKey,
00:17:15.63\00:17:19.83
you can see it
was just coming down.
00:17:19.87\00:17:21.64
Pastor McKey.
00:17:21.67\00:17:23.00
Yeah, look at the
girl. Look at the girl.
00:17:23.04\00:17:24.37
She's singing.
00:17:24.41\00:17:25.74
Yes. Beautiful. Our theme song.
00:17:25.77\00:17:28.04
She doesn't miss a note.
00:17:28.08\00:17:30.11
She was soaked.
00:17:30.15\00:17:31.58
And the rain was just coming.
00:17:31.61\00:17:32.95
It's coming right at her.
00:17:32.98\00:17:34.32
I say, "Kyle, she's not married
and you're not married..."
00:17:34.35\00:17:35.68
This is a little set up here.
00:17:38.92\00:17:41.89
Mercy.
00:17:41.92\00:17:43.56
Oh, I mentioned that, I'm sorry.
00:17:43.59\00:17:46.49
This just happens to go out
00:17:46.53\00:17:47.86
all over the
world live television,
00:17:47.90\00:17:50.07
so you all know.
00:17:50.10\00:17:51.47
She's a beautiful
girl, and she did.
00:17:54.50\00:17:55.87
Really, if you looked at
the picture, it was fast.
00:17:55.90\00:17:59.04
You can see,
00:17:59.07\00:18:00.41
you can see the rain
and blowing horizontal.
00:18:00.44\00:18:02.38
Yeah.
00:18:02.41\00:18:03.75
And she was holding
the mike, cordless mike,
00:18:03.78\00:18:05.71
and singing her heart,
she doesn't miss a note.
00:18:05.75\00:18:08.48
It was beautiful.
00:18:08.52\00:18:09.85
She is a pre-dental
student at our university.
00:18:09.88\00:18:12.39
It was just
memorable. And she was covered.
00:18:12.42\00:18:14.16
I mean, she was
under a covered stage,
00:18:14.19\00:18:16.02
and yet she was soaked
00:18:16.06\00:18:17.39
because the
rain's coming all sides.
00:18:17.43\00:18:18.76
Yeah.
00:18:18.79\00:18:20.13
So we left pretty discouraged,
00:18:20.16\00:18:22.36
because we didn't
know where the rebels went.
00:18:22.40\00:18:24.50
After all of this, and
then this rain happens,
00:18:24.53\00:18:28.34
and they left and they
didn't get to hear the sermon.
00:18:28.37\00:18:31.27
But they did.
00:18:31.31\00:18:32.64
Yeah, they did. That's right.
00:18:32.67\00:18:34.01
We later found out
00:18:34.04\00:18:35.38
that they had
gone to these shelters
00:18:35.41\00:18:39.11
that were around
behind the stage.
00:18:39.15\00:18:41.02
We didn't see them.
00:18:41.05\00:18:42.38
And they listened.
00:18:42.42\00:18:43.75
And later they
told Pastor Dulay,
00:18:43.79\00:18:46.92
"We thought
that they would stop.
00:18:46.96\00:18:49.22
When this kind of rain
happens in the Philippines
00:18:49.26\00:18:51.76
the meetings end.
00:18:51.79\00:18:53.43
We can't believe that
the president of the church
00:18:53.46\00:18:55.66
continued preaching
even through the rain."
00:18:55.70\00:18:59.20
And it really
made an impression.
00:18:59.23\00:19:00.74
It did. So they stayed.
00:19:00.77\00:19:02.47
Some of them put up
00:19:02.50\00:19:03.84
chairs over their
head and just stayed.
00:19:03.87\00:19:06.71
Kyle I think you saw
where they went, didn't you?
00:19:06.74\00:19:08.54
They went under
these little shelters
00:19:08.58\00:19:10.25
and places on the side.
00:19:10.28\00:19:11.61
We have a picture, I
think, of one of the shelters.
00:19:11.65\00:19:13.58
Oh, yeah, I see that.
00:19:13.62\00:19:15.45
You know what they said,
I think Duane, they said,
00:19:15.48\00:19:18.55
you know, we've
heard people speak before
00:19:18.59\00:19:20.72
and usually when
it rains they quit.
00:19:20.76\00:19:23.09
There must be
something about your message
00:19:23.12\00:19:24.93
that makes it important enough
00:19:24.96\00:19:26.29
that you won't quit in the rain.
00:19:26.33\00:19:28.26
Yeah. That's powerful.
00:19:28.30\00:19:29.63
And that's powerful.
00:19:29.66\00:19:31.67
So this was Thursday night.
00:19:31.70\00:19:34.27
On Friday night,
00:19:34.30\00:19:35.64
we had another
meeting and guess what?
00:19:35.67\00:19:37.24
We got there and
it was raining again,
00:19:37.27\00:19:40.64
and there was no
one in the audience.
00:19:40.68\00:19:43.38
And it's like we have to
pray and we got into a circle.
00:19:43.41\00:19:46.78
And Duane led us in prayer.
00:19:46.82\00:19:48.25
Elder Wilson prayed,
"Please, Lord, stop the rain."
00:19:48.28\00:19:51.82
And it was the opposite.
00:19:51.85\00:19:53.19
This time when
Elder Wilson stood up,
00:19:53.22\00:19:55.56
the rain stopped just in time.
00:19:55.59\00:19:58.43
Just in time it stopped.
00:19:58.46\00:19:59.79
Just in time.
00:19:59.83\00:20:01.16
Yeah.
00:20:01.20\00:20:02.56
Thrilling, Kyle, you were,
00:20:02.60\00:20:04.37
you walked
around and got pictures.
00:20:04.40\00:20:05.73
Yeah.
00:20:05.77\00:20:07.10
And just watching them
listening to Elder Wilson.
00:20:07.14\00:20:10.81
And just, you could see it
that they were just listening
00:20:10.84\00:20:14.94
intently to the message.
00:20:14.98\00:20:16.54
These rebels had
come from the mountains,
00:20:16.58\00:20:18.81
their lives have been changed
by the power of the gospel.
00:20:18.85\00:20:21.35
And now they were here
and to think and that night,
00:20:21.38\00:20:24.25
I remember
walking around thinking,
00:20:24.29\00:20:25.62
"All these people are
going to get baptized tomorrow."
00:20:25.65\00:20:28.39
It was an exciting night,
00:20:28.42\00:20:30.03
it was an incredible
moment to think about it,
00:20:30.06\00:20:32.59
and to see them just
taking in the message.
00:20:32.63\00:20:35.16
You know, I don't know,
but I think I need to say this
00:20:35.20\00:20:37.33
for our 3ABN crowd.
00:20:37.37\00:20:39.10
For before I went to the GC,
I would do events and things.
00:20:39.13\00:20:43.91
And every year Elder
Wilson would come and preach.
00:20:43.94\00:20:47.78
I've been in a church a
long time administration.
00:20:47.81\00:20:50.91
And I've never seen a
General Conference President
00:20:50.95\00:20:54.05
do a series,
00:20:54.08\00:20:55.42
evangelistic
meetings every year.
00:20:55.45\00:20:58.19
But every year, he's there.
00:20:58.22\00:21:00.06
The only year we've
skipped is the COVID year,
00:21:00.09\00:21:04.19
but that was it.
00:21:04.23\00:21:05.56
Every year he
does a series. Amen.
00:21:05.59\00:21:07.90
We're so grateful.
00:21:07.93\00:21:09.26
I just want to mention that too.
00:21:09.30\00:21:10.63
As far as from
3ABN's perspective,
00:21:10.67\00:21:12.00
as well, we're so
grateful for Elder Wilson.
00:21:12.03\00:21:13.47
Grateful for his leadership
at the General Conference.
00:21:13.50\00:21:16.64
God has called him
for such a time as this.
00:21:16.67\00:21:19.47
We're grateful
for him and his wife.
00:21:19.51\00:21:21.04
Yeah.
00:21:21.08\00:21:22.41
And if I could just add
since we're talking about him,
00:21:22.44\00:21:23.78
'cause I get the
privilege of traveling
00:21:23.81\00:21:25.15
with him for a few days,
00:21:25.18\00:21:26.51
and just watching them,
00:21:26.55\00:21:27.88
just the
patients that they have,
00:21:27.92\00:21:29.55
the love for people,
they would sit there,
00:21:29.58\00:21:31.89
and literally it's
like one nonstop selfie
00:21:31.92\00:21:34.42
the whole day.
00:21:34.46\00:21:35.92
One picture, pictures, pictures,
00:21:35.96\00:21:37.39
and he'll just stand there
00:21:37.43\00:21:38.76
and let people take pictures,
and thousands of pictures.
00:21:38.79\00:21:40.50
I mean, I've never seen so
many pictures in my whole life.
00:21:40.53\00:21:42.93
But it was amazing
to watch and to see
00:21:42.96\00:21:45.80
how God is using them to
be a blessing to the church.
00:21:45.83\00:21:49.07
I was happy to have
Kyle go in my place.
00:21:49.10\00:21:53.34
Kathy and I have been with them.
00:21:53.38\00:21:56.08
They're wonderful people.
00:21:56.11\00:21:58.08
They are so gracious.
00:21:58.11\00:21:59.48
I want to, I know you can't,
00:21:59.51\00:22:02.18
but I wanted to
say, "Ted it's enough.
00:22:02.22\00:22:04.55
Let's go, let's go."
00:22:04.59\00:22:07.02
You need some rest.
00:22:07.06\00:22:08.39
Nancy Wilson told me, she said,
00:22:08.42\00:22:09.82
"Usually when
people travel with us once
00:22:09.86\00:22:11.36
they don't travel again."
00:22:11.39\00:22:14.53
Because they know,
00:22:14.56\00:22:15.90
usually it's talking
about how demanding it is.
00:22:15.93\00:22:17.27
I've never seen
anyone work so hard.
00:22:17.30\00:22:20.04
I mean, it was
just work, work, work.
00:22:20.07\00:22:22.40
It is.
00:22:22.44\00:22:23.77
So let's
transition to Sabbath morning
00:22:23.81\00:22:25.14
and then baptism.
00:22:25.17\00:22:26.51
Okay. Right, oh,
you got to see this.
00:22:26.54\00:22:27.88
Before we start
to Sabbath morning,
00:22:27.91\00:22:29.28
which is when
the baptism happened.
00:22:29.31\00:22:30.71
I'm wondering if you can tell
00:22:30.75\00:22:32.25
just a little bit
about Jay and Rose
00:22:32.28\00:22:34.02
because they're
featured in the baptism.
00:22:34.05\00:22:35.98
Who are Jay and Rose?
00:22:36.02\00:22:37.35
And tell us just a
little bit about their story.
00:22:37.39\00:22:38.75
Well, actually,
sometimes you hear
00:22:38.79\00:22:41.29
you hear Jay's name
called Kal or Kal Martin.
00:22:41.32\00:22:45.66
He's the general.
00:22:45.69\00:22:47.03
He's the one in
charge of the rebels.
00:22:47.06\00:22:48.93
Okay.
00:22:48.96\00:22:50.43
Yeah, bad guy.
00:22:50.47\00:22:51.80
Had been a bad guy.
00:22:51.83\00:22:53.17
You know, just these
assassins are real assassins.
00:22:53.20\00:22:56.64
They were killing
people, hundreds and thousands.
00:22:56.67\00:22:59.84
Terrible.
00:22:59.87\00:23:02.48
And so he's baptized.
00:23:02.51\00:23:03.88
And so they say,
00:23:03.91\00:23:05.68
the military says we
need to change his name.
00:23:05.71\00:23:08.42
He's a target.
00:23:08.45\00:23:09.78
Because on that we even
know on that Friday night.
00:23:09.82\00:23:13.05
And then on Sabbath morning,
00:23:13.09\00:23:14.42
the military found assassins
00:23:14.46\00:23:17.69
in the audience looking for him.
00:23:17.73\00:23:20.16
Oh, wow.
00:23:20.20\00:23:21.53
Yeah, this is real.
00:23:21.56\00:23:23.26
Right, this is real.
00:23:23.30\00:23:25.47
And so they changed his
name to Kal, Kal Martin.
00:23:25.50\00:23:28.70
Jay. Jay.
00:23:28.74\00:23:30.07
No, first, two changes.
00:23:30.11\00:23:32.01
That's right.
00:23:32.04\00:23:33.94
I don't know
what the real name is.
00:23:33.98\00:23:35.54
Okay. And so they changed it.
00:23:35.58\00:23:37.21
And then they said, "Okay,
00:23:37.25\00:23:39.05
he's, you know, he's
going to be baptized in public.
00:23:39.08\00:23:42.55
We need to change it again."
00:23:42.58\00:23:43.92
So they changed
his name again to Jay
00:23:43.95\00:23:47.02
and he has a brand new
passport and everything.
00:23:47.06\00:23:50.49
So we think if it all works out,
00:23:50.53\00:23:52.99
Jay and his
beautiful wife, Rose,
00:23:53.03\00:23:55.56
who are baptized.
00:23:55.60\00:23:56.97
I baptized Rose and
Elder Wilson, baptized Jay.
00:23:57.00\00:24:00.24
Wow.
00:24:00.27\00:24:01.60
We think there's a good chance
00:24:01.64\00:24:02.97
there'll be at
General Conference Session.
00:24:03.00\00:24:04.54
You know, it was a
life changing moment
00:24:04.57\00:24:06.24
for me personally
00:24:06.27\00:24:07.71
to witness the
baptism of Jay and Rose.
00:24:07.74\00:24:11.61
And to be in that pool, Duane,
00:24:11.65\00:24:13.52
you and I were
there, we were all there.
00:24:13.55\00:24:15.92
And just to see
not only Jay and Rose,
00:24:15.95\00:24:17.95
but 700 former
rebels, coming into the pool,
00:24:17.99\00:24:23.06
one after the
other, after the other,
00:24:23.09\00:24:24.96
whole family is
getting baptized.
00:24:24.99\00:24:26.90
Duane, whole families. Amen.
00:24:26.93\00:24:28.93
And then, you know, I
remember standing there
00:24:28.96\00:24:30.70
and seeing them come in.
00:24:30.73\00:24:32.07
And you can see on their faces,
00:24:32.10\00:24:34.20
the lives they've
lived have been very hard.
00:24:34.24\00:24:36.44
They've been far
from peace, far from hope.
00:24:36.47\00:24:39.41
But now, like, they had hope.
00:24:39.44\00:24:42.04
And many of them
coming up out of the water,
00:24:42.08\00:24:43.51
you know, they were
crying, they would hug you.
00:24:43.55\00:24:45.48
You could sense deeply
00:24:45.51\00:24:47.72
that their lives
had been changed.
00:24:47.75\00:24:49.82
And there is
nothing like it, right?
00:24:49.85\00:24:52.75
I mean, there's
nothing like it to experience
00:24:52.79\00:24:55.29
the moving of the Holy
Spirit now and by the way,
00:24:55.32\00:24:57.26
we thought we were
over, we thought we were done.
00:24:57.29\00:24:59.16
Duane, I think you guys
00:24:59.19\00:25:00.53
were even on your way
to another baptismal site.
00:25:00.56\00:25:02.53
And some of us
were getting out like,
00:25:02.56\00:25:03.90
"No, no, no, don't get out.
00:25:03.93\00:25:05.27
More people are
coming." Oh, really?
00:25:05.30\00:25:06.70
Yeah, more people were coming.
00:25:06.74\00:25:08.50
And so we baptized
for another 45 minutes,
00:25:08.54\00:25:10.81
hours in the pool.
00:25:10.84\00:25:12.17
Yeah.
00:25:12.21\00:25:13.54
God was working
in a powerful way.
00:25:13.58\00:25:14.91
Amen. Amen.
00:25:14.94\00:25:16.28
And some of
that's captured on video.
00:25:16.31\00:25:17.65
Yeah.
00:25:17.68\00:25:19.01
So let's take a
look at that right now.
00:25:19.05\00:25:20.38
Good.
00:25:20.42\00:25:21.75
Friends, I'm Dr. Duane McKey,
00:25:21.78\00:25:23.12
president of
Adventist World Radio.
00:25:23.15\00:25:24.95
Thrilling, exciting
things are happening right here.
00:25:24.99\00:25:27.89
I'm sitting next to
the South China Sea.
00:25:27.92\00:25:31.13
This is Mindoro. This
is where it's happening.
00:25:31.16\00:25:33.23
It's been
happening for five years.
00:25:33.26\00:25:35.03
Rebels and their families
00:25:35.06\00:25:36.40
have given their lives to Jesus.
00:25:36.43\00:25:37.93
That war is
ending after 50 years,
00:25:37.97\00:25:41.24
40,000 people dead.
00:25:41.27\00:25:43.54
Go with me to a swimming pool.
00:25:43.57\00:25:45.31
This has never happened before.
00:25:45.34\00:25:47.01
But there are former rebels
00:25:47.04\00:25:48.94
with their
families being baptized.
00:25:48.98\00:25:50.81
Their lives are being changed.
00:25:50.85\00:25:52.65
What an exciting
time to be alive.
00:25:52.68\00:25:54.35
Greetings, my friends.
00:26:02.76\00:26:04.09
This is Dr. Duane McKey
from Adventist World Radio.
00:26:04.13\00:26:06.63
It is so exciting to be here.
00:26:06.66\00:26:08.30
We're right here
with the baptism.
00:26:08.33\00:26:10.80
This is Kal
Martin who is the general
00:26:10.83\00:26:13.67
of the former rebels,
00:26:13.70\00:26:15.20
but actually they
changed their lives,
00:26:15.24\00:26:18.44
they left the life
behind of 18 years for them.
00:26:18.47\00:26:22.41
Actually, what
happened is 50 years ago,
00:26:22.44\00:26:24.55
Adventist World Radio
began and 50 years ago
00:26:24.58\00:26:26.68
communists invaded this
beautiful island in Mindoro
00:26:26.72\00:26:29.45
and took over the mountains.
00:26:29.48\00:26:30.82
The last 18 years,
00:26:30.85\00:26:32.25
this couple has
led the rebellion
00:26:32.29\00:26:35.19
and now Jesus has
touched their heart
00:26:35.22\00:26:37.33
and things have changed.
00:26:37.36\00:26:38.69
Pastor Dulay, you
have worked so hard
00:26:38.73\00:26:41.33
in the mountains
here with the rebel.
00:26:41.36\00:26:42.96
What I am so excited to tell you
00:26:43.00\00:26:45.63
that the chief of
police here told us,
00:26:45.67\00:26:47.64
he said for all these years
00:26:47.67\00:26:49.57
they have tried to
do all kinds of things.
00:26:49.60\00:26:51.17
They tried to
even bribe the rebels,
00:26:51.21\00:26:53.14
they gave them
money, they gave them land,
00:26:53.17\00:26:54.98
they did all kinds of
things out to beg them
00:26:55.01\00:26:58.95
to stop this war and
to stop shooting at them,
00:26:58.98\00:27:02.85
40,000 people had
died and that didn't help.
00:27:02.88\00:27:06.29
Nothing they did,
nothing they could do.
00:27:06.32\00:27:08.82
The police said,
the military said,
00:27:08.86\00:27:10.96
nothing they
could do to stop the war
00:27:10.99\00:27:12.69
until Adventist
World Radio pack arrived,
00:27:12.73\00:27:15.30
started broadcasting
up in the mountains.
00:27:15.33\00:27:17.40
They were the
question of the day,
00:27:17.43\00:27:19.00
they started responding,
00:27:19.03\00:27:20.37
and lives were changed
when they heard the good news
00:27:20.40\00:27:23.10
that Jesus is coming again.
00:27:23.14\00:27:24.77
When they heard
about God's grace
00:27:24.81\00:27:26.14
that they gonna be
forgiven and change
00:27:26.17\00:27:28.11
because all these
rebels, all these, hundreds.
00:27:28.14\00:27:31.08
How many altogether,
Pastor, have been baptized?
00:27:31.11\00:27:33.98
For them, I guess around
500 for their group only.
00:27:34.02\00:27:37.52
This Sabbath.
00:27:37.55\00:27:38.89
With their families and
everybody else how many?
00:27:38.92\00:27:40.89
Yes, more than around
15,000 since we started
00:27:40.92\00:27:44.33
Since we started,
15,000 have been baptized.
00:27:44.36\00:27:46.96
The war is coming to an end.
00:27:47.00\00:27:48.90
Praise God.
00:27:48.93\00:27:50.50
What bullets couldn't do,
what machine guns couldn't do,
00:27:50.53\00:27:53.94
what these gunships couldn't do,
00:27:53.97\00:27:56.20
God has done by His grace,
00:27:56.24\00:27:57.91
by broadcasting the good
news that Jesus is coming again,
00:27:57.94\00:28:01.74
the forgiveness of God,
00:28:01.78\00:28:03.18
and God has
forgiven these young people.
00:28:03.21\00:28:06.85
It's amazing how God has
worked through their lives
00:28:06.88\00:28:09.55
and they have worked so hard
00:28:09.58\00:28:10.92
and prayed and prayed and prayed
00:28:10.95\00:28:12.29
and God is using them now
to do a different ministry.
00:28:12.32\00:28:15.22
We're working
very, very wonderful way
00:28:15.26\00:28:19.16
cut reaching out to the people
in the villages to help them
00:28:19.19\00:28:22.40
become self-productive,
knowing they are forgiven.
00:28:22.43\00:28:25.23
We are building
churches for them.
00:28:25.27\00:28:26.90
The land has been
given by the government.
00:28:26.94\00:28:28.87
And now as we help them
learn to be productive citizens
00:28:28.90\00:28:33.31
through different programs,
00:28:33.34\00:28:34.81
we'll talk about in
a different setting.
00:28:34.84\00:28:37.51
It is thrilling how
they learned to be farmers
00:28:37.55\00:28:39.55
and learn to be businessman.
00:28:39.58\00:28:41.25
And we are so excited.
00:28:41.28\00:28:42.88
I like your hat.
That's a beautiful hat.
00:28:42.92\00:28:44.92
Thank you for being a
part of Adventist World Radio.
00:28:44.95\00:28:47.22
Thank you. This is...
00:28:47.26\00:28:48.76
I can never thank my
friend who worked for AWR.
00:28:48.79\00:28:53.06
Robert Dulay, I know,
who has worked so hard.
00:28:53.09\00:28:56.80
This has been his dream.
00:28:56.83\00:28:58.17
And he will continue
on here to finish the work
00:28:58.20\00:29:00.70
because there are lots
more people on this island,
00:29:00.74\00:29:02.94
who aren't rebels but
who need to know about Jesus.
00:29:02.97\00:29:05.17
And by God's grace,
00:29:05.21\00:29:06.54
they'll learn the good news too,
00:29:06.57\00:29:07.91
that Jesus is coming again.
00:29:07.94\00:29:09.28
And now as we focus
00:29:09.31\00:29:10.65
on a different
part of the island,
00:29:10.68\00:29:12.11
there are some
other rebels in Mindanao.
00:29:12.15\00:29:15.48
They are actually
very difficult rebels,
00:29:15.52\00:29:18.09
they capture people,
00:29:18.12\00:29:19.69
they hold it for ransom
and do all kinds of bad things.
00:29:19.72\00:29:21.99
But by God's grace,
through Adventist World Radio,
00:29:22.02\00:29:24.96
their lives have
been changed too, Robert.
00:29:24.99\00:29:26.83
Thank you for your vision,
and thank you for working
00:29:26.86\00:29:29.33
for Adventist World Radio.
00:29:29.36\00:29:31.07
Thank you. Let's pray together.
00:29:31.10\00:29:32.67
Father in
heaven, what a joy it is
00:29:32.70\00:29:35.17
to be here together at
this wonderful baptism.
00:29:35.20\00:29:38.21
And the people are
signing so wonderfully.
00:29:38.24\00:29:41.04
This is the live music
00:29:41.08\00:29:42.41
as more and more
are being baptized
00:29:42.44\00:29:44.31
to give their hearts to Jesus.
00:29:44.35\00:29:45.68
Military people, former rebels,
00:29:45.71\00:29:47.88
people who have
given their hearts
00:29:47.92\00:29:49.38
it's absolutely incredible,
00:29:49.42\00:29:51.52
and all working
together because of God's grace.
00:29:51.55\00:29:54.19
In Jesus' name, amen.
00:29:54.22\00:29:55.79
Amen.
00:29:55.82\00:29:57.16
Look at God, you
can feel the excitement
00:30:04.30\00:30:07.07
watching through the television,
00:30:07.10\00:30:08.60
you can feel the
excitement of the baptisms
00:30:08.64\00:30:11.61
and 700 rebel
soldiers coming to Jesus.
00:30:11.64\00:30:15.28
This is
unbelievable. Absolutely.
00:30:15.31\00:30:17.05
You know, I was just, Kyle,
has a package of peanuts there.
00:30:17.08\00:30:22.28
Did you bring
food on the set? I did.
00:30:22.32\00:30:24.05
I was kind of hungry.
00:30:24.09\00:30:25.42
So I thought
I'd get some snacks.
00:30:25.45\00:30:26.79
We mentioned, we wanted
to do something special.
00:30:26.82\00:30:29.72
And so we've given some funds
to them to help them restart.
00:30:29.76\00:30:32.76
And they took the funds,
they didn't pass them out.
00:30:32.79\00:30:35.16
And what did they do, Kyle?
00:30:35.20\00:30:36.53
Well, they decided
that they wanted this one,
00:30:36.56\00:30:38.40
they need to start a new life.
00:30:38.43\00:30:39.80
And so they became,
they started a business.
00:30:39.83\00:30:42.80
And the business
is a peanut business.
00:30:42.84\00:30:45.34
It's called the
Organic Former Rebels
00:30:45.37\00:30:47.34
Association Crunch.
00:30:47.38\00:30:49.48
So pick yours up today.
00:30:49.51\00:30:51.88
I mean, isn't
that amazing? Amazing.
00:30:51.91\00:30:54.15
So from rebels to, from
terrorists to Adventists,
00:30:54.18\00:30:58.39
to business people who
are using their business
00:30:58.42\00:31:01.22
to witness for others.
00:31:01.26\00:31:02.59
What an incredible
testimony of God's grace.
00:31:02.62\00:31:03.96
Amen.
00:31:03.99\00:31:05.33
You talked to Kal Martin there.
00:31:05.36\00:31:06.70
Well, his new name
is Jay, as I mentioned,
00:31:06.73\00:31:09.33
and he and his
wife are being baptized.
00:31:09.36\00:31:11.43
It was so
thrilling and exciting.
00:31:11.47\00:31:14.90
We had tried to
baptize him two years before,
00:31:14.94\00:31:18.34
and that's when we
were there, Kathy was there,
00:31:18.37\00:31:20.94
Cami, we got up at
three in the morning,
00:31:20.98\00:31:22.88
we drove up a concealed road
00:31:22.91\00:31:27.45
and then went up a river.
00:31:27.48\00:31:29.65
And the bed of the
river was the road.
00:31:29.68\00:31:32.65
And so we walk up
00:31:32.69\00:31:34.59
and we go partway up a mountain.
00:31:34.62\00:31:36.36
They had stopped us many
times and use their cell phones,
00:31:36.39\00:31:39.09
just to see if we were being...
00:31:39.13\00:31:40.70
Followed.
00:31:40.73\00:31:42.06
That's right.
00:31:42.10\00:31:43.43
And it was quite an
adventure going up this river,
00:31:43.47\00:31:48.07
and climbing up.
00:31:48.10\00:31:49.44
And then we went to a shelter
00:31:49.47\00:31:51.74
to wait for Jay to come down
00:31:51.77\00:31:55.68
from the
mountains to be baptized.
00:31:55.71\00:31:58.38
But we waited,
00:31:58.41\00:32:00.18
I don't know how long
it was two to three hours.
00:32:00.22\00:32:02.98
Yeah.
00:32:03.02\00:32:04.35
And then...
00:32:04.39\00:32:05.72
And there was a
torrential downpour,
00:32:05.75\00:32:07.09
sorry,
torrential downpour, and...
00:32:07.12\00:32:10.23
And then we had one
of the guys come down
00:32:10.26\00:32:12.03
and they say, "Get out of here."
00:32:12.06\00:32:14.30
They said, "We have
spot a military below you."
00:32:14.33\00:32:17.03
This is two years
ago, this is real.
00:32:17.07\00:32:20.50
And if you, if we come down,
00:32:20.54\00:32:23.04
there's going to be shooting
00:32:23.07\00:32:24.57
and you're going to be
caught in the crossfire.
00:32:24.61\00:32:28.21
And so I said,
"Yep, we're leaving."
00:32:28.24\00:32:32.38
So we got out of there.
00:32:32.41\00:32:35.12
So the
interesting thing now here,
00:32:35.15\00:32:37.45
you just saw the baptism.
00:32:37.49\00:32:38.82
Right. Jay is being baptized.
00:32:38.85\00:32:42.66
And it is so exciting.
00:32:42.69\00:32:44.96
There's another guy
00:32:44.99\00:32:46.63
who was just
baptized right after that.
00:32:46.66\00:32:49.90
And he is CIA.
00:32:49.93\00:32:52.70
He's just baptized. Oh, wow.
00:32:52.73\00:32:54.94
Kathy, you remember just
about, just three days later,
00:32:54.97\00:32:59.54
he came to our
hotel with his wife...
00:32:59.57\00:33:01.38
He and his wife and little boy.
00:33:01.41\00:33:04.48
Little boy, Jacob and his wife,
00:33:04.51\00:33:08.65
Gina and...
00:33:08.68\00:33:10.99
Ray. Ray. Yeah.
00:33:11.02\00:33:12.49
Gina and Ray.
00:33:12.52\00:33:13.86
They come to our hotel,
and we begin to talk to them.
00:33:13.89\00:33:15.89
I said to Gina,
"So you were there,
00:33:15.92\00:33:18.33
you were baptized
too with your husband?"
00:33:18.36\00:33:19.89
"No."
00:33:19.93\00:33:21.26
I said, "Oh, have you
thought about being baptized?"
00:33:21.30\00:33:23.97
That's a good question. Right?
00:33:24.00\00:33:25.93
That's a good
question. Yes, it is.
00:33:25.97\00:33:27.80
It's very open ended.
00:33:27.84\00:33:30.17
And she says, "Yes."
00:33:30.21\00:33:31.54
I said, "Well,
we're here at the ocean.
00:33:31.57\00:33:32.91
Would you want
to be baptized now?"
00:33:32.94\00:33:34.78
And she said, "Yes." Amen.
00:33:34.81\00:33:37.81
So we went and baptized her.
00:33:37.85\00:33:41.25
Now the interesting thing
is, as I'm talking to Ray,
00:33:41.28\00:33:45.22
Ray says, "You
know, I'm with a CIA."
00:33:45.25\00:33:50.16
Wow.
00:33:50.19\00:33:51.53
So I have military
guys that are Adventists,
00:33:51.56\00:33:53.93
and rebels,
ex-rebels who are Adventists,
00:33:53.96\00:33:57.40
they are all sitting
there together telling stories.
00:33:57.43\00:33:59.57
I was chasing you.
00:33:59.60\00:34:00.94
I was chasing you.
00:34:00.97\00:34:03.24
And the fun thing is
as, well, it's a God thing.
00:34:03.27\00:34:07.48
And it, as we talk,
we realize that Ray,
00:34:07.51\00:34:11.91
the CIA guy from the military...
00:34:11.95\00:34:16.02
He was the one that set
us up to be in the middle.
00:34:16.05\00:34:20.02
To be the bait.
00:34:20.06\00:34:21.39
We were the bait.
00:34:21.42\00:34:24.43
I said, "You used us."
00:34:24.46\00:34:28.60
And then we start laughing
00:34:28.63\00:34:29.96
and we prayed
together and all was fine,
00:34:30.00\00:34:31.33
but it's amazing.
00:34:31.37\00:34:32.70
He set us up to use as a bait.
00:34:32.73\00:34:35.77
Some of the conversation
00:34:35.80\00:34:37.47
was actually
recorded in a video,
00:34:37.51\00:34:38.87
maybe we could play that
00:34:38.91\00:34:40.24
where Duane is
actually talking to Rose,
00:34:40.28\00:34:43.35
to Jay and also to...
00:34:43.38\00:34:47.45
Gina?
00:34:47.48\00:34:48.82
No, Gina's husband.
00:34:48.85\00:34:50.22
Oh, Ray. Ray.
00:34:50.25\00:34:51.59
Okay. And Rose.
00:34:51.62\00:34:52.95
Rose and Jay, sorry.
00:34:52.99\00:34:54.52
I'll tell you a
story about Jacob.
00:34:54.56\00:34:55.89
It's a short story but...
00:34:55.92\00:34:57.26
Yes. Yes.
00:34:57.29\00:34:58.63
After the video.
00:34:58.66\00:35:00.00
Okay, let's go to
the video right now
00:35:00.03\00:35:01.36
and then we'll go
to the story of Jacob.
00:35:01.40\00:35:04.17
Greeting from
Adventist World Radio.
00:35:04.20\00:35:05.63
I'm Dr. Duane McKey, president,
and I have with me here,
00:35:05.67\00:35:08.74
Robert Dulay, he's my assistant
00:35:08.77\00:35:10.54
who's stationed
here in the Philippines.
00:35:10.57\00:35:12.81
Thrilling and exciting
things have been happening
00:35:12.84\00:35:15.31
for the last five years.
00:35:15.34\00:35:16.81
And I want to introduce you
00:35:16.85\00:35:18.18
to some very, very
important friends of ours.
00:35:18.21\00:35:21.08
This is Kal
Martin, and his wife Rose.
00:35:21.12\00:35:23.69
They have been the
leaders of the group
00:35:23.72\00:35:26.82
in the mountains who have been,
00:35:26.86\00:35:28.56
we have referred
to them as rebels,
00:35:28.59\00:35:30.79
who had continued with this war
00:35:30.83\00:35:32.33
that's gone on
for about 50 years,
00:35:32.36\00:35:34.00
I think, a long,
long time with the NPA.
00:35:34.03\00:35:37.67
His brother was
killed. Was killed.
00:35:37.70\00:35:40.07
Okay, by the
military in an action.
00:35:40.10\00:35:43.44
And so that changed your life.
00:35:43.47\00:35:44.81
And you came, you
left the military school.
00:35:44.84\00:35:47.51
And then joined...
00:35:47.54\00:35:49.24
He joined the New People's Army.
00:35:49.28\00:35:51.95
New People's Army.
00:35:51.98\00:35:53.31
And at that time, how
long was it before you
00:35:53.35\00:35:56.35
became the leader of
the New People's Army?
00:35:56.38\00:35:59.25
Five years.
00:35:59.29\00:36:00.62
After five
years. After five years?
00:36:00.66\00:36:02.49
Okay. Yeah.
00:36:02.52\00:36:03.86
So about that time, too,
00:36:03.89\00:36:06.09
there was a young
lady that you met,
00:36:06.13\00:36:09.46
and you admired her a lot.
00:36:09.50\00:36:10.97
And so you were
attracted by her.
00:36:11.00\00:36:12.93
And you married her.
00:36:12.97\00:36:15.04
How many years, Rose,
how many years ago was that?
00:36:15.07\00:36:18.24
Two years. Two years?
00:36:18.27\00:36:19.77
So, when he
joined after two years...
00:36:19.81\00:36:21.58
After two years.
00:36:21.61\00:36:22.94
They got
married in the movement.
00:36:22.98\00:36:25.11
Okay. Yeah, yeah.
00:36:25.15\00:36:26.95
And so you lived
in the mountains,
00:36:26.98\00:36:28.68
and you would get
together and work together
00:36:28.72\00:36:32.09
and when you left the movement,
00:36:32.12\00:36:34.29
and you became a Christian,
00:36:34.32\00:36:35.72
and you guys were just
baptized just a few days ago,
00:36:35.76\00:36:39.09
Elder Wilson baptized you.
00:36:39.13\00:36:40.90
And I've baptized you, Rose.
00:36:40.93\00:36:44.10
When you left the movement,
your children, were they there?
00:36:44.13\00:36:47.10
Did they witness the baptism?
00:36:47.14\00:36:49.34
So all of them were baptized,
00:36:49.37\00:36:50.87
all of them
witnessed their baptism.
00:36:50.91\00:36:52.37
All of them were there
00:36:52.41\00:36:53.74
and they were baptized
00:36:53.78\00:36:55.11
into the
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:36:55.14\00:36:56.48
Yeah.
00:36:56.51\00:36:57.85
Last Sabbath,
they were all baptized.
00:36:57.88\00:36:59.75
Wow.
00:36:59.78\00:37:01.12
All these years we had conflict,
00:37:01.15\00:37:03.45
lots of conflict,
different things going on.
00:37:03.49\00:37:06.32
And you have been
working for the NPA,
00:37:06.35\00:37:10.19
but not for God.
00:37:10.23\00:37:11.63
Now you're giving
your lives to Jesus.
00:37:11.66\00:37:14.36
And you have,
Robert is teaching you
00:37:14.40\00:37:16.90
to become evangelists.
00:37:16.93\00:37:19.20
Amen.
00:37:19.23\00:37:20.57
Yes.
00:37:20.60\00:37:21.94
We involve them in our training.
00:37:21.97\00:37:24.41
We conduct the training.
00:37:24.44\00:37:25.77
They use our projectors,
00:37:25.81\00:37:29.91
our materials in this ministry.
00:37:29.94\00:37:32.28
Wow.
00:37:32.31\00:37:33.65
And yes, they
are very influential.
00:37:33.68\00:37:36.45
And not only when they,
00:37:36.48\00:37:39.49
after they attracted
to the Lord to the church,
00:37:39.52\00:37:42.36
they even reach
for their former,
00:37:42.39\00:37:44.49
you know, comrades.
00:37:44.53\00:37:45.86
Amen.
00:37:45.89\00:37:47.23
And that's the
reason why we have
00:37:47.26\00:37:48.60
these so many
baptisms that's happened.
00:37:48.63\00:37:50.07
Wow.
00:37:50.10\00:37:51.53
If we can just
over a little bit.
00:37:51.57\00:37:54.10
Right, please have a seat here.
00:37:54.14\00:37:56.10
This is Ray, two, three
years ago, we were here.
00:37:56.14\00:37:59.51
And we had gotten up at
3 o'clock in the morning.
00:37:59.54\00:38:03.45
And Kal was on the
mountain with some other friends
00:38:03.48\00:38:06.75
and he was going to come down
00:38:06.78\00:38:08.12
and we were going to
have a secret baptism.
00:38:08.15\00:38:10.49
But you worked for the military,
00:38:10.52\00:38:13.09
Ray's secret service.
00:38:13.12\00:38:14.82
And so he had spotted, he
found out, I don't know how,
00:38:14.86\00:38:19.06
you guys do have a
secret service people know
00:38:19.09\00:38:20.86
what's going on.
00:38:20.90\00:38:22.23
They have ears on the ground.
00:38:22.26\00:38:24.30
And so we would stop
the car, talk on the phone,
00:38:24.33\00:38:27.44
go someplace I was
talking on the phone.
00:38:27.47\00:38:28.97
And we thought we were safe.
00:38:29.00\00:38:31.17
And so but you
knew what was happening.
00:38:31.21\00:38:35.14
So we went to the river,
00:38:35.18\00:38:37.05
we started walking up the river
Kathy and Cami and Robert...
00:38:37.08\00:38:42.18
All the crew. The whole crew.
00:38:42.22\00:38:43.95
You were with us.
00:38:43.99\00:38:45.32
And we're walking up the river.
00:38:45.35\00:38:46.82
We got partway up the
mountain and we stopped
00:38:46.86\00:38:48.79
and then it rained
and rained and rain.
00:38:48.82\00:38:50.66
And then Kal, one of
your secret service man,
00:38:50.69\00:38:56.40
you figured out
that there were military,
00:38:56.43\00:38:59.77
Ray, down below
hiding in the jungle.
00:38:59.80\00:39:03.67
And you sent word
to us as Americans.
00:39:03.71\00:39:06.61
And you said, "Get out! Get out!
00:39:06.64\00:39:11.15
There's military
hiding in the jungle before
00:39:11.18\00:39:13.35
and if we come down
there is going to be shooting
00:39:13.38\00:39:15.65
and you Americans are going
to be caught in the center."
00:39:15.68\00:39:17.95
And so I said to Kathy and
Cami and Robert and Heather,
00:39:17.99\00:39:21.89
"Get out here.
00:39:21.92\00:39:23.26
Let's go" So we ran down
the mountain and gotten a river
00:39:23.29\00:39:27.86
and then it started raining more
00:39:27.90\00:39:29.23
and we were going down the river
00:39:29.26\00:39:30.97
and as we are going
down, we were helping Kathy
00:39:31.00\00:39:33.70
and she was
floating down the river,
00:39:33.74\00:39:36.34
we're holding on to her arm.
00:39:36.37\00:39:38.14
We were muddy and wet.
00:39:38.17\00:39:41.51
We were all wet.
00:39:41.54\00:39:42.88
All wet.
00:39:42.91\00:39:44.25
But the point of
this is that was then,
00:39:44.28\00:39:48.48
you were baptized Sabbath.
00:39:48.52\00:39:51.42
You were baptized Sabbath.
00:39:51.45\00:39:54.86
You were baptized Sabbath.
00:39:54.89\00:39:59.33
It's all forgiven.
00:39:59.36\00:40:01.16
Reconciliation. Amen.
00:40:01.20\00:40:02.83
I can't believe what
God's doing and is doing.
00:40:02.86\00:40:07.60
Ray, thank you.
00:40:07.64\00:40:09.97
When you guys
were baptized Sabbath,
00:40:10.01\00:40:13.14
it brought tears
to all of our eyes
00:40:13.17\00:40:15.44
to see what God is doing,
00:40:15.48\00:40:16.81
how great the Lord is.
00:40:16.85\00:40:18.58
Robert,
00:40:18.61\00:40:20.32
this has been a
highlight of my ministry.
00:40:20.35\00:40:22.85
Praise the Lord.
00:40:22.88\00:40:24.22
For 50 years I've
been in the ministry.
00:40:24.25\00:40:26.29
I've never seen
anything like this.
00:40:26.32\00:40:28.39
It has been a
highlight for your ministry.
00:40:28.42\00:40:30.73
We have never seen anything.
00:40:30.76\00:40:32.39
This is latter
rain doing, latter rain.
00:40:32.43\00:40:35.26
Yeah. And the Holy Spirit is...
00:40:35.30\00:40:36.63
A latter rain.
00:40:36.67\00:40:38.00
Is being poured out.
00:40:38.03\00:40:39.37
The Holy Spirit
is being poured out,
00:40:39.40\00:40:40.74
and like never
before God is blessing.
00:40:40.77\00:40:43.24
Jesus is coming soon.
00:40:43.27\00:40:44.77
Amen.
00:40:44.81\00:40:46.14
Amen.
00:40:49.84\00:40:51.18
Praise the Lord.
00:40:51.21\00:40:52.55
Jesus is coming soon. Amen.
00:40:52.58\00:40:53.92
I love what you said at the end.
00:40:53.95\00:40:55.28
This is the
highlight of my ministry.
00:40:55.32\00:40:57.59
What an incredible thing to see.
00:40:57.62\00:40:59.35
The CIA and the rebel
soldiers, to see them baptized,
00:40:59.39\00:41:02.79
to see them come
together, to see that healing.
00:41:02.82\00:41:04.73
Yeah. So tell us about Jacob.
00:41:04.76\00:41:06.70
You talked about Jacob. Okay.
00:41:06.73\00:41:08.06
Jacob's mother is Jean.
00:41:08.10\00:41:09.43
I just baptized her. Okay.
00:41:09.46\00:41:10.97
And we have a
little picture of them.
00:41:11.00\00:41:12.97
But it's
incredible. Here they are.
00:41:13.00\00:41:16.00
This is Jacob, and this is
Ray and Gina just baptized.
00:41:16.04\00:41:20.61
So we're out of the ocean.
00:41:20.64\00:41:22.44
I'm baptizing her.
00:41:22.48\00:41:25.15
Also is with us is Rose.
00:41:25.18\00:41:28.15
She's been an assassin.
00:41:28.18\00:41:29.62
Yeah.
00:41:29.65\00:41:30.99
And she's changed.
00:41:31.02\00:41:32.35
And she's standing there.
00:41:32.39\00:41:34.22
And at her feet is little Jacob.
00:41:34.26\00:41:37.43
She's taking care of Jacob
00:41:37.46\00:41:39.79
while his mother
is being baptized.
00:41:39.83\00:41:42.36
Amen. Wow.
00:41:42.40\00:41:43.80
Just unbelievable.
00:41:43.83\00:41:46.40
Yeah, mother.
00:41:46.43\00:41:48.17
You know,
mothers unites to this,
00:41:48.20\00:41:50.24
to trust somebody to
take care of your child
00:41:50.27\00:41:52.34
who's been an assassin.
00:41:52.37\00:41:53.71
Right.
00:41:53.74\00:41:55.08
Think about it. Yeah. Yeah.
00:41:55.11\00:41:56.44
That doesn't
happen in today's world.
00:41:56.48\00:41:57.81
No. Right.
00:41:57.85\00:41:59.31
That's because of the
power of the Holy Spirit.
00:41:59.35\00:42:01.18
It's all God. Amen. Amen.
00:42:01.22\00:42:02.75
All God. Yeah.
00:42:02.78\00:42:04.12
It's incredible. Yeah.
00:42:04.15\00:42:05.82
We also saw an incredible story.
00:42:05.85\00:42:08.26
Duane, you and I were on
the beach there in Mindoro,
00:42:08.29\00:42:11.93
and we met two gentlemen.
00:42:11.96\00:42:13.66
Similar
situation, former enemies,
00:42:13.70\00:42:15.86
one had been an
assassin for the rebels.
00:42:15.90\00:42:17.93
In fact, they
said he was so strong,
00:42:17.97\00:42:19.93
he could carry a body on
his shoulder, right Duane?
00:42:19.97\00:42:22.17
Yeah. Up and down the mountains.
00:42:22.20\00:42:23.81
With his machine gun.
00:42:23.84\00:42:25.17
With his machine gun for hours.
00:42:25.21\00:42:28.04
Wow.
00:42:28.08\00:42:29.41
And then we had one of
the intelligence officers,
00:42:29.44\00:42:31.88
another CIA officer.
00:42:31.91\00:42:33.98
And there they were, literally,
00:42:34.02\00:42:36.32
we have a picture of
them shaking hands, embracing.
00:42:36.35\00:42:38.72
They're at the ocean?
00:42:38.75\00:42:40.09
They're at the
ocean and getting baptized
00:42:40.12\00:42:42.06
at the same time.
00:42:42.09\00:42:43.43
And you know, that
story, the story of Ray,
00:42:43.46\00:42:45.76
it reminds me again,
power of this message,
00:42:45.79\00:42:50.60
the power of
Jesus to unite people
00:42:50.63\00:42:52.37
who are former enemies.
00:42:52.40\00:42:55.47
The text in
Romans 5:10... Oh, yes.
00:42:55.50\00:42:58.14
Just have to share this
one 'cause this is so powerful.
00:42:58.17\00:43:00.51
It says, "If
when we were enemies,
00:43:00.54\00:43:02.58
we were reconciled to God
through the death of His Son."
00:43:02.61\00:43:06.28
Former enemies being reconciled
00:43:06.31\00:43:08.85
through Jesus
Christ for eternity.
00:43:08.88\00:43:11.09
And they're all Adventists now.
00:43:11.12\00:43:12.45
They're all Adventists.
00:43:12.49\00:43:13.82
Exactly.
00:43:13.86\00:43:15.19
It's so powerful.
00:43:15.22\00:43:16.56
At Saturday
night, Saturday night.
00:43:16.59\00:43:17.93
No, it was... Sunday night.
00:43:17.96\00:43:19.29
Sunday night. Yes.
00:43:19.33\00:43:20.66
Something happened.
They planned a party.
00:43:20.70\00:43:22.16
What happened?
00:43:22.20\00:43:23.53
Well, after Elder Wilson
00:43:23.57\00:43:26.07
and Elder McKey left
to go do other baptisms
00:43:26.10\00:43:28.60
throughout the
rest of the country,
00:43:28.64\00:43:31.61
and Kyle was there with me.
00:43:31.64\00:43:33.58
It was just Kyle and I.
00:43:33.61\00:43:35.08
And so they
didn't want to leave.
00:43:35.11\00:43:37.71
They wanted to stay
and have more preaching.
00:43:37.75\00:43:40.38
And so we had to
go to the military
00:43:40.42\00:43:42.28
and get special
permission to keep them
00:43:42.32\00:43:44.15
because they were
going to take them back
00:43:44.19\00:43:45.52
to the mountains.
00:43:45.55\00:43:46.89
They stayed for two more days.
00:43:46.92\00:43:48.26
And Kyle
preached that first night.
00:43:48.29\00:43:49.79
So Saturday night we arrived,
the stage had been taken down
00:43:49.82\00:43:52.36
but they were still there.
00:43:52.39\00:43:53.73
They were all gathered
around the baptismal pool.
00:43:53.76\00:43:55.90
They created a new stage,
00:43:55.93\00:43:57.77
they brought in
flowers and decorated.
00:43:57.80\00:43:59.37
They rebels did
00:43:59.40\00:44:00.74
'cause they wanted
the preaching to continue.
00:44:00.77\00:44:02.10
They didn't want to go home,
00:44:02.14\00:44:03.47
they still wanted to hear more.
00:44:03.51\00:44:04.84
And so we shared a
message that night,
00:44:04.87\00:44:06.21
we all, actually many of
our team shared testimonies,
00:44:06.24\00:44:07.98
and we shared a message about
00:44:08.01\00:44:09.34
how it doesn't matter
where you've come from,
00:44:09.38\00:44:10.71
it only matters
where you're going,
00:44:10.75\00:44:12.41
and how God is calling us,
00:44:12.45\00:44:14.72
and God is calling
them to a bright new future.
00:44:14.75\00:44:16.92
And then that
was Saturday night.
00:44:16.95\00:44:18.82
Okay. Yes.
00:44:18.85\00:44:20.19
And then there
was one more night
00:44:20.22\00:44:21.56
and sadly, I left
'cause I missed Sunday night.
00:44:21.59\00:44:23.76
But Sunday night,
you were still there,
00:44:23.79\00:44:25.43
Kathy and something incredible
happened Sunday night?
00:44:25.46\00:44:28.76
It was incredible.
00:44:28.80\00:44:30.13
We had a presentation
00:44:30.17\00:44:31.67
that was
prepared, the final sermon.
00:44:31.70\00:44:34.50
And I was the only one
there, so it was going to be me.
00:44:34.54\00:44:39.77
We received a
message, don't leave.
00:44:39.81\00:44:43.55
After the meeting,
00:44:43.58\00:44:45.08
we have prepared
a special program.
00:44:45.11\00:44:47.58
The rebels have
prepared a special program.
00:44:47.62\00:44:49.88
Secret, they didn't
tell us or we've stayed.
00:44:49.92\00:44:51.49
They didn't tell us.
00:44:51.52\00:44:52.85
Right. They didn't tell us.
00:44:52.89\00:44:54.96
And so afterwards,
it was just incredible,
00:44:54.99\00:44:59.79
because there's hundreds
of them around the pool.
00:44:59.83\00:45:03.83
And it was so well organized.
00:45:03.87\00:45:05.50
They started by
telling us that they had made,
00:45:05.53\00:45:08.34
they had organized as a group,
00:45:08.37\00:45:09.77
because you know, we
didn't think about it.
00:45:09.80\00:45:11.44
But because they were
in all these other camps
00:45:11.47\00:45:13.94
in the mountains,
00:45:13.98\00:45:15.31
many of them had
never actually met.
00:45:15.34\00:45:17.05
This was a time of
fellowship and meeting people
00:45:17.08\00:45:19.35
they communicated with,
00:45:19.38\00:45:20.72
but never actually met.
00:45:20.75\00:45:22.68
And so they
organized a foundation,
00:45:22.72\00:45:25.19
they elected officers,
and Rose is the new president.
00:45:25.22\00:45:29.26
Oh, wow.
00:45:29.29\00:45:31.13
Pastor Kyle had talked about,
don't let the past define you.
00:45:31.16\00:45:35.00
Elder Wilson had
said, we've all been rebels,
00:45:35.03\00:45:39.03
but because today
you're getting baptized,
00:45:39.07\00:45:41.14
you're new creatures in Christ.
00:45:41.17\00:45:42.67
Amen.
00:45:42.70\00:45:44.04
So as part of this presentation,
00:45:44.07\00:45:46.04
they told us we've met
00:45:46.07\00:45:48.51
and we don't want
the past to define us.
00:45:48.54\00:45:52.51
We don't want to be known as FRs
00:45:52.55\00:45:54.82
because that's what the
military calls them FRs,
00:45:54.85\00:45:56.95
there were signs where
they said former rebels.
00:45:56.99\00:46:00.19
We don't want to be
known as former rebels.
00:46:00.22\00:46:02.39
We want to be known as FRs,
00:46:02.42\00:46:05.13
and it now stands
for fully reconciled.
00:46:05.16\00:46:08.40
Oh, I love that.
00:46:08.43\00:46:10.83
Fully
reconciled. Fully reconciled.
00:46:10.87\00:46:12.63
Amen. Yeah.
00:46:12.67\00:46:14.00
Amen.
00:46:14.04\00:46:15.37
And so, earlier that day,
00:46:15.40\00:46:16.74
we'd had a little
impromptu medi-clinic.
00:46:16.77\00:46:18.31
A medical clinic, yes.
00:46:18.34\00:46:19.67
Because we had
one doctor remaining.
00:46:19.71\00:46:21.68
And we noticed they
were little cuddles,
00:46:21.71\00:46:23.58
little groups
playing their guitars.
00:46:23.61\00:46:24.98
And what they were
doing was rehearsing,
00:46:25.01\00:46:27.25
because there
were something like
00:46:27.28\00:46:28.62
17 different camps or groups.
00:46:28.65\00:46:31.05
And each one did a program.
00:46:31.09\00:46:32.49
There were three parts.
00:46:32.52\00:46:34.59
They composed their own song
00:46:34.62\00:46:36.56
that talked
about their experience.
00:46:36.59\00:46:39.06
And we were
hearing the translations
00:46:39.09\00:46:41.30
and there were so
many beautiful things.
00:46:41.33\00:46:43.03
One of the songs
was for breakfast
00:46:43.06\00:46:46.57
we ate dew from the grass,
00:46:46.60\00:46:48.94
for lunch, we
searched for coconut,
00:46:48.97\00:46:52.37
for dinner, we go to sleep.
00:46:52.41\00:46:54.78
Praise God.
00:46:54.81\00:46:56.28
We don't have to
live like this anymore.
00:46:56.31\00:46:59.38
It was amazing.
00:46:59.41\00:47:01.38
And then they
elected a spokesperson
00:47:01.42\00:47:03.55
who talked about the group,
00:47:03.59\00:47:05.22
how God had changed their
lives and their commitment.
00:47:05.25\00:47:08.62
It was incredible.
00:47:08.66\00:47:09.99
And in the middle of this,
00:47:10.03\00:47:11.73
and I think Duane is
going to talk about this
00:47:11.76\00:47:13.29
after we talk about rebel night.
00:47:13.33\00:47:15.96
Someone came to the
microphone and said,
00:47:16.00\00:47:19.97
"I did not get baptized.
00:47:20.00\00:47:21.80
I did not believe in this.
00:47:21.84\00:47:23.41
I did not... I
wasn't sure this was real.
00:47:23.44\00:47:26.57
So I came to watch.
00:47:26.61\00:47:29.48
But what's happened this
week has changed my life.
00:47:29.51\00:47:33.21
And I'm making a
commitment tonight
00:47:33.25\00:47:35.12
in front of all of you,
00:47:35.15\00:47:36.55
I will be baptized."
00:47:36.58\00:47:37.92
Amen. Amen.
00:47:37.95\00:47:39.29
So he was one of the holdouts
that have not surrendered.
00:47:39.32\00:47:43.43
So after each group
gave their presentation,
00:47:43.46\00:47:46.80
suddenly they
turned out all the lights,
00:47:46.83\00:47:48.90
and they
started passing candles,
00:47:48.93\00:47:51.87
one candle after
another, hundreds of candles.
00:47:51.90\00:47:55.67
They turned off the lights
00:47:55.70\00:47:57.04
and they sang
hymns, and they prayed.
00:47:57.07\00:48:00.28
And then they
turned on the lights
00:48:00.31\00:48:02.18
and called us all up.
00:48:02.21\00:48:04.45
The first row stands
00:48:04.48\00:48:05.98
and one by one
every single rebel,
00:48:06.01\00:48:09.65
every single member,
00:48:09.68\00:48:11.72
even the little children came
00:48:11.75\00:48:13.76
and gave each one of us
a flower and touched us,
00:48:13.79\00:48:17.93
grabbed our hands.
00:48:17.96\00:48:19.29
Many of them
don't speak English,
00:48:19.33\00:48:20.76
but they learned enough
to say thank you for coming.
00:48:20.80\00:48:23.97
Thank you for bringing Jesus.
00:48:24.00\00:48:25.50
Thank you for AWR.
00:48:25.53\00:48:27.24
Thank you for coming.
00:48:27.27\00:48:28.60
Thank you for
Elder Wilson coming.
00:48:28.64\00:48:30.21
Thank you for Elder McKey.
00:48:30.24\00:48:32.14
They thanked us individually,
and we were all in tears.
00:48:32.17\00:48:34.84
I mean, we were all in tears.
00:48:34.88\00:48:36.75
But there was
one final surprise,
00:48:36.78\00:48:38.71
and that was they said
we've made a commitment
00:48:38.75\00:48:42.62
that we are each
one going to win one.
00:48:42.65\00:48:45.92
Amen.
00:48:45.95\00:48:47.29
Each one is going to win one.
00:48:47.32\00:48:48.66
Each one reach one.
00:48:48.69\00:48:50.03
Each one reach one.
00:48:50.06\00:48:51.39
Each one win one.
00:48:51.43\00:48:52.76
And we're going to come back.
00:48:52.79\00:48:54.23
And we're going to meet again
00:48:54.26\00:48:55.96
like this before
the end of the year.
00:48:56.00\00:48:57.60
We're going to
bring people for Jesus.
00:48:57.63\00:48:59.67
Amen.
00:48:59.70\00:49:01.27
We have a video of this, right?
00:49:01.30\00:49:02.74
We do have a video
of the rebel's night.
00:49:02.77\00:49:04.41
Let's go to
that video right now.
00:49:04.44\00:49:05.87
Yes.
00:49:05.91\00:49:08.71
What are we seeing here?
00:49:08.74\00:49:10.08
Okay, so here's the
scenario around the pool.
00:49:10.11\00:49:13.62
There's a hundreds of rebels,
00:49:13.65\00:49:15.52
and they're giving
their presentation.
00:49:15.55\00:49:18.19
And it was just, it was amazing.
00:49:18.22\00:49:20.46
It was amazing.
00:49:20.49\00:49:22.12
And this is
where they're theming.
00:49:22.16\00:49:25.09
They created a theme song.
00:49:25.13\00:49:26.46
They're talking
about the theme song.
00:49:26.49\00:49:27.93
They're giving their
different musical numbers
00:49:27.96\00:49:30.23
when each group presented.
00:49:30.27\00:49:31.63
Here's an
example of the speakers
00:49:31.67\00:49:33.67
from various groups
giving their presentation.
00:49:33.70\00:49:36.84
And then this is, yes,
00:49:36.87\00:49:41.11
this might be the guy I
can't remember who said,
00:49:41.14\00:49:44.51
"I'm going to be next."
00:49:44.55\00:49:45.88
Wow. It was incredible.
00:49:45.91\00:49:47.25
So the different speakers
00:49:47.28\00:49:48.62
from each of the
different 17 communities.
00:49:48.65\00:49:51.42
And then they
after this was finished,
00:49:51.45\00:49:55.09
you'll see the candle lights,
the lighting of the candles.
00:49:55.12\00:49:59.03
And it was beautiful
because it started on one side,
00:49:59.06\00:50:01.63
and then everyone passed
their light to the next person.
00:50:01.66\00:50:04.87
It is beautiful.
It is incredible.
00:50:04.90\00:50:07.10
Yeah. Wow.
00:50:07.14\00:50:08.47
I love that I will go.
00:50:08.50\00:50:09.84
I will go.
00:50:09.87\00:50:11.21
They all wore
the I will go shirts.
00:50:11.24\00:50:13.41
They were so proud.
00:50:13.44\00:50:15.14
And then the next
thing you'll see...
00:50:15.18\00:50:18.55
That's
beautiful. It is incredible.
00:50:18.58\00:50:21.45
Think about reconciliation. Yes.
00:50:21.48\00:50:24.02
Forever reconciled,
the FR. Yes, forever.
00:50:24.05\00:50:26.76
Here they are coming up
and giving us the flowers,
00:50:26.79\00:50:29.86
one by one, every single
person personally thanking us.
00:50:29.89\00:50:35.33
We were all in tears.
00:50:35.36\00:50:36.77
It was one of the most...
00:50:36.80\00:50:38.87
I couldn't sleep all night
00:50:38.90\00:50:40.24
because I'm thinking
we got home at midnight.
00:50:40.27\00:50:43.07
How am I going
to tell the others,
00:50:43.10\00:50:45.04
because this was for the church.
00:50:45.07\00:50:47.08
This was for
Adventist World Radio,
00:50:47.11\00:50:48.61
it was for Elder
Wilson and they missed it.
00:50:48.64\00:50:50.91
So I couldn't
sleep. I was so excited.
00:50:50.95\00:50:52.81
I was really upset
00:50:52.85\00:50:54.18
when I missed
it, I'll be honest.
00:50:54.22\00:50:55.65
I don't blame you.
00:50:55.68\00:50:57.15
He had just left
three hours before.
00:50:57.19\00:51:00.06
But what a powerful testimony.
00:51:00.09\00:51:02.66
You know, it wasn't
just a flash in the pan.
00:51:02.69\00:51:05.19
There's things we
want people to know.
00:51:05.23\00:51:06.80
This is real changed lives.
00:51:06.83\00:51:08.43
Yes. That's right.
00:51:08.46\00:51:09.80
And we are seeing the outpouring
00:51:09.83\00:51:11.30
of the Holy Spirit
in these last days.
00:51:11.33\00:51:13.47
And I believe,
with all my heart, Jill,
00:51:13.50\00:51:15.60
that this is only the beginning.
00:51:15.64\00:51:16.97
Amen.
00:51:17.01\00:51:18.34
You've said this
before, Duane, I've heard you,
00:51:18.37\00:51:19.71
you know, as we're
going around the world
00:51:19.74\00:51:21.08
Adventist World Radio
televise these meetings,
00:51:21.11\00:51:23.24
the Holy Spirit
is being poured out.
00:51:23.28\00:51:24.61
This is only the beginning.
00:51:24.65\00:51:25.98
God is going to
do even bigger things
00:51:26.01\00:51:27.48
in the days ahead.
00:51:27.52\00:51:28.85
God can do
exceedingly, abundantly
00:51:28.88\00:51:30.72
above all that we ask or think.
00:51:30.75\00:51:32.72
We're right at the
end of this program.
00:51:32.75\00:51:34.62
I cannot believe the
time has gone so quickly.
00:51:34.66\00:51:37.53
What a miracle. Amen.
00:51:37.56\00:51:38.89
From terrorist to
Adventist, seeing the miracle
00:51:38.93\00:51:41.86
and the healing
and the reconciliation.
00:51:41.90\00:51:44.03
We want to put up
the contact information
00:51:44.07\00:51:47.00
for AWR in just a moment.
00:51:47.04\00:51:49.60
But first before we do that,
00:51:49.64\00:51:51.81
I know 3ABN believes
in the ministry of AWR.
00:51:51.84\00:51:54.44
We are thrilled to
be partnering together,
00:51:54.48\00:51:57.41
to be able to do that.
00:51:57.45\00:51:58.78
But talk to us
about some of your needs?
00:51:58.81\00:52:01.12
Okay. What do you need at AWR?
00:52:01.15\00:52:03.59
It's obvious right
now, this one project,
00:52:03.62\00:52:06.69
we, actually tonight,
tonight in the Philippines,
00:52:06.72\00:52:10.76
these FRs are
all across the hills
00:52:10.79\00:52:14.50
holding evangelistic meetings.
00:52:14.53\00:52:16.00
Amen.
00:52:16.03\00:52:17.37
We have given
them video projectors,
00:52:17.40\00:52:18.73
they have the sermons,
00:52:18.77\00:52:20.10
and they're out in
the mountains there
00:52:20.14\00:52:22.20
holding meetings.
00:52:22.24\00:52:23.74
Amazing. Holding meetings.
00:52:23.77\00:52:25.44
And then the thrilling thing is,
00:52:25.47\00:52:29.24
as we have talked with the FRs,
00:52:29.28\00:52:31.68
with Robert Dulay, and
the rest of our team there,
00:52:31.71\00:52:34.48
they're saying, okay,
00:52:34.52\00:52:36.69
all the rebels now
are having meetings.
00:52:36.72\00:52:39.25
They've gone back
into the mountains.
00:52:39.29\00:52:40.72
Actually, there are 70 villages.
00:52:40.76\00:52:43.09
Wow. Robert said 70 villages.
00:52:43.12\00:52:46.26
They have a problem though.
00:52:46.29\00:52:48.16
The meetings will go
on, they'll do evangelism.
00:52:48.20\00:52:50.87
They'll continue with
that, but they have a problem.
00:52:50.90\00:52:55.04
Where do you have
church on Sabbath?
00:52:55.07\00:52:58.41
Well, if it's not
rainy, and it's not too hot,
00:52:58.44\00:53:02.14
you can go out
under mango trees,
00:53:02.18\00:53:06.75
and have church.
00:53:06.78\00:53:08.12
But there somehow,
00:53:08.15\00:53:10.05
you know, if you
just had something
00:53:10.09\00:53:11.45
so we can put up,
there'll be order.
00:53:11.49\00:53:14.56
They need the sheet metal,
00:53:14.59\00:53:16.89
they need the
post and everything
00:53:16.93\00:53:18.96
for about $5,000...
00:53:18.99\00:53:20.66
A church? A church.
00:53:20.70\00:53:22.93
So $5,000 a church
Five thousand, church,
00:53:22.96\00:53:24.90
and I said to
Kathy, "Let's do one."
00:53:24.93\00:53:26.94
And she says... "Let's do two."
00:53:26.97\00:53:28.84
"Two."
00:53:28.87\00:53:30.74
I love it. We can do that.
00:53:30.77\00:53:32.11
It's not much. I love it.
00:53:32.14\00:53:33.61
It's not much, you know, maybe,
00:53:33.64\00:53:35.94
I said to our
kids for our Christmas,
00:53:35.98\00:53:39.91
"We're going to be out."
00:53:39.95\00:53:41.28
I said, we've
done this in India,
00:53:41.32\00:53:42.75
that we can do
this in the Philippines.
00:53:42.78\00:53:45.05
That's incredible. Amen.
00:53:45.09\00:53:46.42
And we'll put your name
on. They said, "Really?"
00:53:46.45\00:53:48.26
I said, "Yeah,
up in the mountains
00:53:48.29\00:53:50.69
there in Mindoro
00:53:50.73\00:53:52.06
we'll put our name up there."
00:53:52.09\00:53:53.43
Amen. You know our kids back...
00:53:53.46\00:53:54.80
Wow. Yeah, and the church.
00:53:54.83\00:53:57.10
So we will put up
two churches. Amen.
00:53:57.13\00:53:58.80
And so churches,
that's the biggest right now?
00:53:58.83\00:54:00.30
Churches? Churches.
00:54:00.34\00:54:01.67
Right. Absolutely.
00:54:01.70\00:54:03.04
Okay, Duane,
you've convicted me,
00:54:03.07\00:54:04.41
I'm going to say it on
this live, I'm going to do one.
00:54:04.44\00:54:05.77
Yes. Amen.
00:54:05.81\00:54:07.14
Me too. Me too. Amen.
00:54:07.18\00:54:08.51
And I want to
challenge everybody
00:54:08.54\00:54:09.88
who's listening tonight.
00:54:09.91\00:54:11.25
That's right.
00:54:11.28\00:54:12.61
Maybe there's somebody
out there you say the Lord is,
00:54:12.65\00:54:13.98
you've been impressed by
this incredible testimony
00:54:14.02\00:54:15.35
and the Lord is
speaking to your heart.
00:54:15.38\00:54:16.72
You want to help build
a church for these rebels
00:54:16.75\00:54:18.09
who are now fully,
00:54:18.12\00:54:19.45
they're no longer rebels,
they're fully reconciled.
00:54:19.49\00:54:20.96
Amen.
00:54:20.99\00:54:22.32
I love that.
00:54:22.36\00:54:23.69
Okay, so what we're
going to do right now
00:54:23.73\00:54:25.06
is put up the
contact information for AWR
00:54:25.09\00:54:27.46
and 3ABN is going
to build a church too.
00:54:27.50\00:54:30.07
Amen. So I was gonna say that.
00:54:30.10\00:54:31.63
I was just
thinking talk about them.
00:54:31.67\00:54:33.67
We want you at
home, our 3ABN audience,
00:54:33.70\00:54:36.07
who are movers and shakers,
00:54:36.10\00:54:37.61
I hope tonight you
have been encouraged.
00:54:37.64\00:54:39.64
I hope tonight you
have been inspired.
00:54:39.67\00:54:41.61
I hope tonight you have
realized what God can do,
00:54:41.64\00:54:44.68
still do, the
miracles He can perform
00:54:44.71\00:54:47.68
in people's hearts and lives.
00:54:47.72\00:54:49.78
So here's the way
that you can contact AWR
00:54:49.82\00:54:53.29
and become involved in this
exciting mission opportunity.
00:54:53.32\00:54:56.79
Amen.

We're right at the
end of our program.
00:55:52.25\00:55:54.22
Pastor Kyle, do you
have a closing thought?
00:55:54.25\00:55:56.05
Well, just was thinking,
00:55:56.08\00:55:57.42
you know, as we've looked at
these incredible stories today
00:55:57.45\00:55:59.89
about these former
rebels now fully reconciled,
00:55:59.92\00:56:03.36
and we've seen how
their lives literally
00:56:03.39\00:56:05.86
were changed completely.
00:56:05.89\00:56:07.36
It reminds me that God is able
to do that for each one of us.
00:56:07.40\00:56:11.37
You know, we may not have
been rebels in the Philippines
00:56:11.40\00:56:13.60
but we're all rebels.
00:56:13.64\00:56:14.97
We've all been sinners.
00:56:15.00\00:56:16.34
And God says here in Romans 5:8,
00:56:16.37\00:56:18.57
"God demonstrates
His own love toward us,
00:56:18.61\00:56:20.48
and that while we
were still sinners
00:56:20.51\00:56:22.04
Christ died for us."
00:56:22.08\00:56:23.41
Amen. Amen. Elder McKey?
00:56:23.45\00:56:24.78
Amen. Thank you so much.
00:56:24.81\00:56:27.05
Jill, it's a joy
to be here with you.
00:56:27.08\00:56:29.08
AWR is probably
not quite as exciting,
00:56:29.12\00:56:34.29
but we do deal with rebels
around the world, assassins,
00:56:34.32\00:56:38.56
we have down in
Central America and Colombia,
00:56:38.59\00:56:41.83
different places on
the Amazon River, we see,
00:56:41.86\00:56:44.27
we're seeing incredible things
happen when the assassins,
00:56:44.30\00:56:47.27
drug lords are laying down
their guns and we see this,
00:56:47.30\00:56:50.71
we're going to
see the same thing.
00:56:50.74\00:56:52.07
We do see the
same thing in Mindanao.
00:56:52.11\00:56:53.61
We see it in Bangladesh,
we're seeing it in the Israel,
00:56:53.64\00:56:56.48
and I can't tell you
some of those stories.
00:56:56.51\00:56:58.55
But it's just
amazing what God is doing.
00:56:58.58\00:57:01.22
One of the reasons I
didn't know this, actually,
00:57:01.25\00:57:03.22
I said, I learned
that when we hired Kyle,
00:57:03.25\00:57:07.36
God is able to do exceedingly,
00:57:07.39\00:57:09.36
abundantly above all
that we ask or think.
00:57:09.39\00:57:11.16
That's his favorite
text too as well as my mine.
00:57:11.19\00:57:12.96
Amen. I love that.
00:57:12.99\00:57:14.66
And now it's yours. Amen.
00:57:14.70\00:57:17.03
