Tell us what happened. Then we'll go to the Weise and 05:14 Alijah. Well, real quick for that may not know 3ABN, Latino. 05:20 >> As of June 2021, we enter death, Cuban TV package. It was TV package. They call it 05:26 and keep in Spanish, which means that every week new programming comes out and we 05:34 are we have a folder there in that package because this is made available for people to 05:40 bring their hard drives or their thumb drives. And then they purchase programming 05:44 because cable TV is not available so. This is one way for them to get more 05:48 programming because there are 4 national TV channels and of course, people always want 05:54 more. this is a something that's been happening for several years. But June 2021 06:01 was the first time a Christian television channels Inter enters into the package and 06:05 the mix of movies and television comedies and all kinds of soap operas that the 06:10 Spanish people like. We're there offering people hope salvation through Christ 06:19 people that need a warning because, you know, there's a warning uses crisis coming. So 06:22 get yourself ready. So there's a wonderful programming that's going on every week. And we 06:28 every viewer and every listener that has helped make this possible because there is 06:32 a monthly fee. There are but Louise we also had a light to accompany us because we want 06:41 to together some testimonies. That's right. We'll have already been baptized. And so 06:44 this is why we went along with half of her now. And it was a blessing, blessing. You know, 06:50 Liz, do actually this go to one of those roles could have several roles to go to this 06:53 evening pertain to Cuba. Let's go to that and we'll talk about to see some gear here on 06:57 the table to Looks like a little flying helicopter here. Luis, the drone, UK. 07:02 >> Helicopters to fly. and Cameron some and some fun things. We want to talk about 07:06 some testimony, but let's go set set up that first role for us. Pastor do well this it's a 07:12 lady in Cuba she has been translated. Thanks to my wife it for her help in that. And 07:18 it's interesting because she mentions our first participation to try to bring 07:23 3 even programming, which happened about 8 years ago. We brought some of the to the 07:28 Union office and they told us about the seminary that could make copies for. So these were 07:33 being distributed in Cuba. But years ago. And so she mentions that. But then she mentions 07:37 that package and how the program has helped her and how they use it to help you back 07:44 to All right. So let's go to that 2 minute role right now. >> Manly's mining is a scene. 07:51 One and I was not raised in a Christian home at age. 22 of us invited to an event of this 07:58 increase aid but seems I went for the first time to that church to that event. Alyssa, 08:03 Chris saved never again prey saluted. Have I stopped attending on Sabbath to which 08:09 up to Lloyd. I also. I have used in the 17 years that I've been in the church. What 3ABN 08:21 has contributed it because at first it was DVDs. I used that day. But Issa because he came 08:30 with me to say with preaching bypassed purple, yellow and different things. But now 08:34 through the end, but that these even better because we can hear testimonies of 08:40 brothers and sisters in different countries. Also listen to health programs. 08:46 Small presentations, somehow that are very good for us. In my home, along with my 08:55 husband, we have a church home. It's still called different names here in Cuba. 09:03 In this church home, mainly with my husband's family. We use. The programming that has 09:10 seen it back a day because we don't have a lot of when we have the talent of taking the 09:19 but we used you see the question and preaching that is in effect at We use. All of 09:30 the materials that we use in their programming in the church on where you sit 09:32 through that, I could think. We do it by parts. We simply select from the material that 09:39 we received through right now. They're up the church because he's got it back to And he 09:41 sure set with us. And so we share it with that family and the neighbors that I want that 09:49 we would like for them to learn of Jesus because they've never had an opportunity in 09:55 their lives to learn of. She says so we select and a kit that we just for my own church 10:03 program and we continue to do that every week in our community and then home. 10:10 >> Praise God. What a tremendous has tomorrow. >> Every week they do that. 10:16 Think the evangelistic not only has 3 been Latino on the package, but church members 10:22 are taking it and using it. Evangelist the ride. right. So price a lot. Louise. I know 10:30 you an ally to both went there. So talk to us. Maybe what was a highlight of the 10:34 trip is your first time in Cuba, right? And then maybe a miracle that God worked there 10:37 too. >> Well, yeah, it is my first time in Cuba. I always wanted 10:41 to go to Q a and got I have the opportunity not only to go but to do something 10:51 meaningful. to get this testimonies from people that are the impact what we're 10:56 doing in Q I don't best. Maybe he wants to mentor something about the microphone. So you 11:05 understand my miracle Donny. Louise got together equipment and part of this was bringing 11:13 wireless microphones to make it easier for us to get the interview better quality 11:17 audio. >> However, when we got to the airport, they said, oh, I 11:22 think they have a microphone in there and they opened up bags and a microphone in one 11:28 of our bags. And we said we have we have others They wanted looking to look him 11:35 over because in Cuba as in other countries, there are certain frequencies that are 11:39 not allowed. And so we have to they confiscated them and they say have to go to the 11:46 communication office to get approved and then we'll release them to you. So when 11:50 we went to the office, they told us that death frequency of these wires, microphones 11:54 was the same frequency they use for their Internet service soul. They were not authorized 12:00 even so they tried to appeal to their higher of leadership to see if they would give us 12:08 limited for the amount of time with their. However, this was not granted. So praise the 12:13 Lord that there was a backup plan. So this is actually pretty serious because I mean, 12:18 no microphones. It's great to get video, but no audio could be a problem. Now, there are 12:23 other wireless microphone center authorized, but they have see the But I mean, I'm 12:29 talking for your situation that just kind of serious Greece, right? I mean, we 12:32 don't really, really didn't have plan B, have to >> do something. We're in 12:38 Cuba. We have the cameras. Yeah, we have all these interviews schedule. So I a 12:43 lot of thought. Yes, I never use because his small those hold too much. But I say I'm 12:49 going to taken to Cuba. Wow. So I took it to Q A and. >> And how is that usually 12:56 used the You can put a camera here. You can put a GOPro, something small. But I say it 13:01 will be good for something thinking that this will say alive because then I grew up 13:08 the only Mike that we have that is in on camera, Mike, but has the wire so as not 13:15 wireless. So there's no issue with the frequent. There wasn't issue. So we got He 13:21 tapered to this. Oh, my and I think we have a role of and I extended it does how That's 13:32 how we in having to you. It was interesting, but they got, you know, sometimes you don't 13:37 know what you do. Things, but it's not you. It's got telling year you're going to need this 13:43 flag. And this is why save us to do all the interviews. >> stood and held that over 13:48 the people's heads in order to catch the audio. Yeah. >> Because what you're wearing 13:52 right now, we're all of us were in a little level earmark funds like right here. And 13:54 that's what you brought frequency was a problem. And this was is this was only 13:59 thing we use and we had an extension because extension and that's what we use. This 14:08 Frizzell or so you brought them on a pod having no idea. No idea. You know, that's kind 14:12 interesting because you're going to trip like that like, okay. Let me leave everything 14:14 behind that. I don't usually yes. So why would you bring something you don't normally 14:18 use? You did his impression of the Holy Spirit back. Wow. And then what you alijah something 14:23 stood out to you being a queue because your first time in as well. 14:29 >> well, even though it was just one there was a lot of fun stories expanded on church 14:36 and the whole time I was there. I God's hand work miracles and like, you know, 14:43 just got us the whole trip and with all of these interviews and we were doing, I couldn't 14:53 really 100. the Spanish, but I could understand words here and there for you. And I could 14:57 piece together some and I could just feel like the Holy spirit like work through their 15:04 lives. just, you know, there motion just like the stories they were telling. I could put 15:12 together some and, you know. understand that. But wow, it was moving that was but there 15:21 was this one time where we were heading back from Cuba to the United States. And we 15:29 needed to have a COVID tests too. Go back. And so we went to the airport. We got to the 15:37 COVID testing center. But they that COVID testing for a pregnant woman. And so. A 15:48 person high was a afraid of like, okay. Will they accept you know, fall into that? 16:00 >> and I really praying that because we need to a COVID test to go back home. Yes, 16:06 >> But thankfully, now was a talking to the they made an exception just for us. So we 16:16 were able to get the COVID test just in time. And we made it back home safely. So I'm 16:21 very glad for >> And I think that's really need to pressure. Joining was 16:26 talking about doesn't know Spanish because everybody else, Luis, you speak, you 16:29 know, multiple languages fluently. You do, too. And so, you know, to be lodge a right, 16:33 not build them, understand that you can still see and feel the emotion. And, you 16:36 know, the impact. Oh, yeah, that 3 of is making in this people find truth. My happy. 16:42 They are. I know we have another role that you all shot in. Pastor John, maybe set 16:47 this role that we're getting ready to see up for us. A very good. This is SOB with pastor 16:54 at CNN and then this.

And now we return to Canadian studios. 25:50 >> I Pastor Johnny, that is a powerful interview. Men talk about a pastor this on fire 25:55 and excited. I like I said 3ABN that he knows like a foundation. This like what an 26:02 embassy is like a tree trunk. Churches are was Yeah, exactly. You know, and he 26:07 understands concept of how this is to work. And while just praise the Lord for 26:11 people that are enthused about evangelism, praise the Lord. I want to say it again. How? 3? 26:18 It's a miracle that review and that the notice on the package, just or has done you 26:24 can expect a great and this is not like going under cover of darkness or likes. In other 26:28 words, this is approved by the government. This is really on roll and the council Churches. 26:32 Just amazing. It's amazing, isn't it? >> It is amazing. It's 26:35 encouraging. It firing. So thank you, Pastor Aussie That is what feel hernias. thank 26:41 you very much for your leadership. There and to hear those stories coming back so 26:49 that we have traded people during that role. And we added Ben Lingle, it was the head of 26:55 3ABN audio And how long have you been here, Ben? >> So not consecutively, but I 27:01 work here almost a total of 8 years now, 7 years consecutively. And then one 27:05 year on and off and you know, lesson, thank you for your skill. 27:11 >> You job and you've probably seen then maybe playing guitar or piano or singing or 27:14 concedes a tremendous musician. >> And just mentioned so head 27:18 of audio been, what did you think of Louis says contraption there with the 27:24 tape just like big poll and it was a there. But you didn't have that in You know, it was 27:31 sounded pretty good. They did. It was very creative. So I commend Louis did it. He did a 27:37 good job. You know, there's obviously situations when you're in the field. Where 27:41 things don't always work. Even if you had wireless, sometimes you have issues with that. So 27:43 those those are good idea. You know how the world works. And we've seen those miracles. And 27:49 we're talking about this bike trip that took place. This was some GC Leadership General 27:53 Office and leader ship or biking from Washington, D.C., the General conference 27:59 headquarters all the way to St. Louis, which is where the GC Session was and they're 28:04 doing evangelism along the route, he says. And then they asked 3 aid in Haiti. Do you 28:08 have some talented crew members that you can send along to help document this 28:11 trip? And of course absolutely. So Jorge, appreciate that. He worked on 28:16 the scheduled to get that worked out to tell us about the trip and your church 28:19 there. I will go is all part of that. Yeah. Yeah. The trip was a lot of fun. There was a 28:25 lot of like I just had previously. When you're in the field, it's not a controlled 28:29 environment like a studio. So it's not you know, say someone's. Doing something in 28:35 the field and you're like, oh, can you do that again? You know, you kind of want to 28:37 catch it in real time. In reality. And that was kind of the goal of this this trip. 28:41 But more importantly, we were trying to capture the story of this trip which had to do some 28:47 of the bikers, most of them from Australia. They had a family member who had received 28:53 a book. I think back in the late 18, 100's, the great controversy. And because of 28:58 that individual who is riding his bike path, you know, Christian literature, that 29:03 individual changed over 20,000 prison for the Gospel. And so they were doing this bike trip 29:10 in honor of that The gentleman's name Philip Riki and they were passing out 29:17 these flyers. The has the story of why they were by Kane and in doing that. And so, 29:21 yeah, it was an amazing trip. There was a lot of great interactions they had with 29:28 people. And so it was it was a blessing. I I could say for I think, Louise and I both we 29:33 were both. So let's talk. Think so far. The crew because you 2 are from 03:00PM, but 29:37 then also average review. So want to say thank you for having do in their support of 29:41 3 of them. But you're with some crew members from review. How many were their total with 29:44 crew and how many cyclists, you know, how many crew were 4 people in like for look at the 29:51 Oak room. >> We had a camera person. He came from Spain to do this. So 29:55 we have Gabriel that he was the director review like he put everything he was from a 30:02 vent. His review in both of Yeah, it was 6 were from Australia. The only lady and 30:10 the group was from Vietnam. Well, and another gentleman that he was from Norway. So 30:16 what? What is your take on the trip? Louise? Well, it was like then said it was it was a 30:23 blessing. Our technical part in the beginning was a little difficult because we didn't 30:27 know what was going to happen in. We're going to cough and suddenly was supposed to 30:33 follow the people. But then the they did they win and the different directions for Lake 30:38 which will we But it was it was a blessing that mean, we were able to. Record what we 30:46 need. It we so many people for me, there was a big group of people in the porch. they came 30:54 to talk to them and they. The last so was everybody was praying. So it was it was it 31:00 was a beautiful This was in different places. We were recording till that's upon 31:08 right, as well. There's the crew is a croquet ever on the right hand side. And Carlos, 31:15 on the left-hand side there. And then this is us at the hotel. We were offloading. 31:21 >> Some of our media that we recorded for the day. And there's Luis, he's in the back 31:25 of a car from the bikers. Go up a Hill, Omaha. lot of fun. There is that little video and 31:32 they can see the bikers are right there. And that's that's a cool shot. That that shot 31:34 worked out really, really well. agree. We were excited. And then here's the final when 31:39 they got to St. Louis. And that's the whole group that came in. Welcome. elder Ted 31:44 Wilson was there. Of Pastor Bill not was their Gabriel. All of us were there. So, 31:49 yeah. Well, how many miles? I think they ended up traveling a little over 1100, right, And 31:59 that's not going to 65 Haha, you know what? To make back roads? Yeah, it's all back, 32:06 right? So there was, you know, obviously very little cell service. And of course, we 32:09 went through a lot of mountain areas like most Western. you know that very well my And 32:14 what's amazing about all these bikers was they very rarely stopped. I mean, we would be 32:19 behind them going 10 miles an hour in our air-conditioned car and they're going up the 32:25 super steep hill. I mean, they would just go and don't go in. They want to stop. It was just 32:30 really impressive to see the endurance of olive and then the take the time to witness 32:34 and a mess out tracks like you have here front of it. Yeah. >> In the 2 books once the 32:38 great controversy that's ripe or back condition Congress. What's the other one that they 32:42 passed? >> The other one the past. So it is called your by Boy you 32:45 and basically it's just a book that kind tells you the relevance of how the Bible up 32:50 ISIS today. So it's a really neat book. So they were passing out these 2 books 32:55 here. The great controversy and your Bible, you. >> And talk to us is America 32:59 that happened on this journey talked about. think he has America. Just want to mention 33:04 that we had the incredible opportunity to meet these 8 people you know, different 33:09 things that they do. But we had a really, really close connection. You know, every 33:14 time we finished, we got together and we want to read some time. So it was it was a 33:19 very neat experience. But you can tell you above law to start with let America's we 33:25 did. We became a family by the end of the trip. >> It was hard for everyone to 33:29 leave. You know, all most of them went back to Australia, and so it was hard for 33:32 everyone to leave. But on the known of a miracle story for the trip. We were going back 33:37 in West Virginia. And as I said, there was hardly any cell service back there. 33:42 You're up in the mountains. They don't, I guess, put cell towers up in the mountains 33:46 over there, but it's probably really dangerous. We were going ahead of them because we 33:51 were going to set up a shot, try to get maybe a drone shot sometimes Carlos would set up 33:56 his camera to get him passing by. So we went about mile or 2 ahead of the bikers. Well, 34:03 we're station getting ready for them to come. And we're waiting. We're waiting and 34:08 5.10, minutes passed. We realized, oh, no, that must have turned a different So 34:12 we're like what we do. So we don't have cell service. We can't look at the map because 34:16 we can access our data or anything like that. So we start trying to go to houses. 34:21 Hey, I see you have satellite Internet. We went to one can we use your Internet to just, 34:27 you know, find a map and we can go into a quilt. Who are you that? Yeah, they like 34:31 because like, well, my wife has the password. She's not home right now. So anyway, we 34:37 just like okay. So we pray. We say God, please lead us back to that because mind you being 34:41 in the mountains. It's easy to get lost up there. So for praying, God, please help us. 34:47 We get a little one bar of service from T-Mobile and we're able to load the map and 34:53 we start following the map. And finally about an hour later, we cross paths with the 34:57 bikers. So got answered an amazingly haha. Thank you both for going on the trip. And you 35:04 know, for I think about also your heart for evangelism, both of you. Thanks for being 35:07 a part of the ministry. >> 3ABN love the shirts. I go. That's for all of us, right? 35:12 We all need to go and spread the love of Jesus and the gift salvation with others. Pastor 35:16 Johnny at the GC Session, you have the opportunity in a little studio there to 35:21 actually interview the bikers, the cyclists.

But this has they a story that 36:33 begins way back in the 18, 100's. >> And I wanted to ask you 36:37 whether Anthony Pastor Anthony can't tell us about how tall this weekend. Well, it began 36:44 in 46 with the birth of Philip Freaky. He was born in Scotland. 36:47 >> He emigrated to Australia and then the he discovered a book Fultz and Daniel in 36:54 revelation he became an Adventist. He's showing his job as an engraver and he 36:59 became a literature evangelist on a bicycle and the road hundreds of miles around 37:05 sharing books and he should the great controversy with my great, great grandfather. Your 37:10 great, great grandfather. And so you are a product of one person and 37:18 >> it envisions with a vision to reach others for Jesus. And there are others.

A doctor. Tell us about the experience and how 38:58 you saw participants that you have to >> rendering service. 39:03 >> Not really. We had one small with, but the small crash, but otherwise, 39:11 surprisingly, even surprising too. Well, so many things that could have gone wrong. But I 39:15 believe we had God's protection so pushing to they were no need to. We wrote a 39:22 11200 miles. The risk off being hit by a car riding crashing into one another or 39:30 with we have been big. But we stayed safe. Praise the Lord Michael worker, which at there 39:37 you go. Michael Tell us something about this experience that you will 39:40 remember forever. >> For me. Just the welcoming of the American people. As we 39:49 went from town to town as we shared half our writing what we were commemorating with the 39:56 right. People are just so willing to hear about the story so willing to receive 40:00 the great controversy so willing to receive your Bob Dylan, you and it's just 40:05 inspired me about creative ways to do mission. You know, that is 70. We'll establish 40:11 wiser, doing mission and they great. But we need new and innovative ways. And I hope 40:16 that that is inspiration for people to do some crazy out of the books. Things like we have 40:20 done on this ride. Well, there's nobody here. That's about 15 or 16 years old. 40:27 >> But you all had this. I said to you might be sifting of 60's icon. You all decided 40:33 to do this. And I want to know from Russ Wilcox, when you heard about this, what 40:39 motivated you to decide to go? Certainly I have a passion for cycling. And that that sits in 40:47 the background. But but the theme I will go, I think it just resonated with me. I 40:54 didn't feel confident to go, but but the theme I will go, was just. and I'm so glad I 41:03 did. Amen. Amen. What we have here, the gentleman with the bicycle. Tell us your name 41:07 again. And was your hold as you went through this ride? What was the hope in your 41:11 heart? Yeah, want to >> as went and box on the ride, my initial was that I 41:19 got to St. Louis. Haha. but along the sharing, which was was an exciting thing, always 41:27 a little bit daunted by that prospect. Initially. But in conference we have a slide in 41:32 shaping for mission. And that is the site had we what we do said that has a mission, UL 41:38 purpose. And that's exactly what we did with this spot. Fraud. So wasn't just about 41:43 running bikes. It was shapes. So that was Michelle in its intense and and that was an 41:49 exciting thing. And to say the fight that was receptive to what we had to offer, it was 41:54 just a wonderful experience. A man, a man. >> Well, you are all 42:01 participating in reliving something that took place at the beginning of the 18. 100's 42:05 and to me is miraculous how one person has changed so many lives. You also have been a 42:13 part of helping to change lives. You have no idea what's going to become of the book or 42:18 the that you gave out. Give me some some idea of how many people you may have touched. 42:25 How many pieces of literature you give hoot to helping with that? Well, it misses 42:31 thousands when when we traveled, we like each very little clothing so that we 42:37 could put into the cars that were with us as many books and they were piled high. And now 42:43 with we've got very few left. So there are thousands of books. We didn't keep the 42:48 specific count. The thousands of great controversy. Thousands of your Bible. You 42:51 and thousands of that fly. Praise the Lord you're a pastor. Glenn Talent is yes. 42:59 You are vision president for which division and how do you see if this is something? Is 43:04 this something that well, that was nice to do? We will never do this again. Or is this 43:09 something you think? My spark? Something to continue? >> Yes. So Yusef Pacific 43:18 Division feistiness. Try we care for all of on Lin's of the Pacific. New Zealand, papa 43:22 New Guinea Many more. I'm just I was talking to a pasta is one of their delegates to the 43:28 general conference and he was signed on want to organize a roid. And and do something off 43:34 purpose. 3 balling crying. So I am sure I am completely sure that there will be others that 43:41 will do something. A similar. >> Amen. Amen. >> was the equipment you use 43:49 that any of that have to be replaced. >> You talked about equipment, 43:54 but you guys have been through. Oh, right. I don't know how many days of vacation 43:57 you need to recover, but I think you can look back and see this with some an 44:02 experience. Never to forget. Is there something that stands out in the minds of any of 44:08 you? Somebody you saw that you believe will say divine appointment who can tell me 44:12 something brief about that? We carefully planned the whole itinerary every every inch of 44:21 the right. There's a lot of preparation into that to make sure that the roads were right 44:26 and good. >> But there was one particular die even though we 44:31 double check triple checked everything. That there was one road that was so rough. Some 44:37 of us couldn't even write a box down the hill because it was so state and the was 44:42 unsealed wrote the rocks was so rough and and beak and we met this caucus was riding 44:46 along that I was thinking. You brought this on to this road for a purpose. Why was that? 44:53 And then we met this man. He accepted the and now the conference president in that 45:00 field is personally following up with him. >> Praise the Lord. Praise the 45:04 Lord. Well, we want to encourage everybody to pray for every piece of literature 45:09 that was passed out again. I say Reid admin is review June 7th Edition has the article. 45:17 The cyclists reach St. Louis after 1200 Mile missionary right. Read it the blast and 45:22 do something like this to change lives. >> Well, a man. 45:28 >> such an encouraging report. Pastor a lot great stories.

It's been a busy 2022. 47:09 >> It has that in, you know, just eat no matter how young children are. They are always 47:15 wanting to witness as well. There's question he other adults in their lives and they 47:20 want to witness. And that reminds me of some pictures that we have because my family 47:27 had the opportunity to be in Grand Cayman Island and there was a children's church. We 47:32 have to be there. They invited me speak and do a little children story. But it was 47:39 really led by young people. And again, that's talking about evangelism and letting 47:45 young people witness for Christ and that such a learning opportunity. And 47:52 there's just so much going on there. And then there's another picture that I with 47:56 some Pathfinder is. And it was the Springfield Pathfinder group, and they called 48:01 themselves the PA what's that? Springfield, first SDA Church in the Springfield Bible. 48:11 >> Chapel and they invited me to come and and speak a little bad for the worship service. 48:15 And it was just a wonderful time because after what we've got to go to the garden of the 48:20 gods, that's what and it's a wonderful time to connect with and the children because when 48:28 kids are in nature, there's so much that we can learn about And so even while we were 48:34 walking, they had me stop a few times and then tell another story. I was just so 48:37 much fun to connect with these young people in so this is fun to talk about what is 48:43 happening with kids because we never know what kind of influence we have. A new 48:48 alliance that brings me to the most touching one just happened a couple weeks with 48:52 make a wish Foundation.

We can't 55:35 keep our promises. >> None >> of us can keep our 55:40 promises. Let's go to the next question. What should we be careful with promise is is it 55:47 so that other people see as and a good way, promises should be before God. to make 55:56 sure we are always right. The which one is that you're right a. Next question. What does 56:02 Verily mean?
