>> you know? >> Welcome back
to our special two-hour LIVE
00:00:11.54\00:00:16.85
program. 3ABN Today Live. This
is a live program and you are
sending in your questions. Thank
00:00:16.85\00:00:20.85
you very much. I'm Jill Meagher
County and I'm here with my
sister received after end, the
00:00:20.85\00:00:26.29
child Impact International team
just want to give in disclaimer
here. We did it to be in the
00:00:26.29\00:00:32.33
first hour. We're going to do it
one more time here. We're
talking about a sensitive
00:00:32.33\00:00:35.06
topic tonight. We're talking
about the concept of child
trafficking and rescuing those
00:00:35.06\00:00:42.04
children prevention for that
in certain countries and getting
00:00:42.04\00:00:46.11
them out of those situations
into safe places, safe houses
where they can learn a trade
00:00:46.11\00:00:50.68
where they can go to school
where they can be educated and
have a life WABC bringing
00:00:50.68\00:00:58.75
counselors in or I'm learning
about the who Jesus is and how
he can bring healing in their
00:00:58.75\00:01:04.03
lives. So if you have young
children in the home, this might
not be a program for them. So we
00:01:04.03\00:01:07.76
just want to give you that
disclaimer. We have some
sensitive topics will be
00:01:07.76\00:01:11.17
talking about here this evening.
And if you are just joining us,
00:01:11.17\00:01:15.34
our reminder, we have Jason
Churchwell and doctor Thom Evans
and Ashley Blake with us. So so
00:01:15.34\00:01:21.98
delighted that you all are here.
We believe in the Ministry of
Child Impact International Y E
00:01:21.98\00:01:28.35
you are doing who we're talking
tonight specifically about I
00:01:28.35\00:01:31.55
call it an arm of their
ministry. You're certain part of
their ministry, which is
00:01:31.55\00:01:35.96
operation Child Rescue. And we
were talking before the break
about this incredible project at
00:01:35.96\00:01:40.63
Riverside Farm in situ in Zambia
and Reese II asked a question
that we want to break. So ask a
00:01:40.63\00:01:46.50
I was just kind of curious, like
how long? >> I'm somewhat stay
00:01:46.50\00:01:50.74
with you. How long do you see it
takes? Maybe that they're safe
to launch or, you know, is there
00:01:50.74\00:01:55.18
like a cut off point that they
have? Sure. I there becomes an
age where you have younger and
00:01:55.18\00:02:00.28
older children mixing together
where it's best afield are ones
00:02:00.28\00:02:03.62
move on and >> start a career
move on with their life. And so
certainly have project like are
00:02:03.62\00:02:09.22
one in Tanzania with the Falco's
children home that were very
involved with where they
00:02:09.22\00:02:15.16
Clearly state is that we want
these kids to be able to stand
on their own by the time they
00:02:15.16\00:02:19.33
leave here. So from the time
they come, that's the goal. And
that's why sustainability
00:02:19.33\00:02:26.78
teaching skills us on this. So
important when we were just in
India in November, we had a
00:02:26.78\00:02:33.15
number of recent graduates that
came back to meet our team and
00:02:33.15\00:02:38.35
they were in all sorts of
careers. One of them is a doing
a lot of, I guess, cooking and
00:02:38.35\00:02:42.79
some chef work in a hotel and he
wanted to cook for us the whole
weekend. And the food, of
00:02:42.79\00:02:48.53
course, is great. But you have
people in the counting careers
medical I think I shared hero 3
00:02:48.53\00:02:53.44
being before. I'm Sean Engine
booster. A sponsored a child
through child impact and she
00:02:53.44\00:02:58.44
is now a nurse overseen a couple
of different districts. They're
just very proud of the
00:02:58.44\00:03:03.78
accomplishment. and so and so
are we. And it's really nice to
be able to us, you know,
00:03:03.78\00:03:07.75
tell a child we're so proud of
you and how God has blessed in
00:03:07.75\00:03:14.12
your life. >> Absolutely. Let's
go to couple of questions and
just want to give you the
00:03:14.12\00:03:16.49
contact information for 3, the
end. If you have a question
pertaining to this through the
00:03:16.49\00:03:21.63

00:03:29.30\00:03:38.75
This one is from Bran from
Alabama. Is it possible to bring
some of the children to
00:03:38.75\00:03:43.02
the U.S. to be fostered or
adopted by Americans? >> Wow.
00:03:43.02\00:03:48.06
That is a great question. That
is not the business that child
impact as I think in, you know,
00:03:48.06\00:03:54.40
it even in the context of our
own adoption for the 2 boys,
there was an effort by the
00:03:54.40\00:03:58.30
government and the country that
we are in to find the family
members to find homes
00:03:58.30\00:04:03.71
there in that that, you know,
and that is similar cultural
context. That's the easiest
00:04:03.71\00:04:08.98
for the child, isn't But I was
attending church, a coastal
community church. One of my I
00:04:08.98\00:04:14.02
think maybe my for 7th there
there was a fellowship meal and
I set down by this lady
00:04:14.02\00:04:20.09
who had adopted in her 2 adopted
children right there from
Tanzania and one of our
00:04:20.09\00:04:23.73
projects us on that list. You
have now is the is there because
of the conversation
00:04:23.73\00:04:28.80
with this lady and she well,
they ran that project, adopted
them, brought them to the
00:04:28.80\00:04:34.57
states and other classmates with
my boys. And so it does happen.
And we do have one of
00:04:34.57\00:04:40.51
our projects. We have a board
member that in the process of
adopting 2 children from that
00:04:40.51\00:04:45.88
project. One of the boy she's
adopting was thrown into toilet
and has acid burns his
00:04:45.88\00:04:50.99
body from that. she went to
visit this project and was so
moved. She said, I think
00:04:50.99\00:04:57.96
initially they thought maybe
they're the top one and they
have teenagers that are, you
00:04:57.96\00:05:02.53
know, ready to leave the nest
almost and they're ready to
start all over again and say
00:05:02.53\00:05:07.24
we're going to bring 2 babies
into our home is just
incredible. When you see that
00:05:07.24\00:05:09.67
kind of commitment. And so we
would be happy for individuals
to contact. And I'm certainly
00:05:09.67\00:05:14.78
willing to share my own journey
that way. A show with a number
of people how you can
00:05:14.78\00:05:19.28
get involved in international
adoption. But we only have one
project right now with child
00:05:19.28\00:05:23.42
impact. We're kind of piloting
that. Okay. If it's successful,
00:05:23.42\00:05:29.32
we'll open that up and will make
that available and go into that
area. So we want to see how it
00:05:29.32\00:05:33.86
works for a board member. First,
but I do have a path for
international adoption and I'm
00:05:33.86\00:05:37.53
happy to visit with people
about. >> That's fabulous. So
people can contact. You would
00:05:37.53\00:05:41.97
e-mail me the best are calling
the office. >> Yeah. Probably to
00:05:41.97\00:05:45.07
call the office and that can
touch it. >> But that number up,
we have that number for the
00:05:45.07\00:05:50.95
office. That is 4 to 3. I got to
see it here at 9, 1, 0, 0, 6, 6,
7. That's 4, 2, 3, 9, 1, 0, 0,
00:05:50.95\00:06:00.72
6, 6, 7, That's the office
number for child impact. If you
have questions about that
00:06:00.72\00:06:06.16
international adoption or you
want to sponsor children or you
want to get involved in
00:06:06.16\00:06:11.23
the Ethiopia project or this and
be a project to Riverside Farm
or any of those avenues
00:06:11.23\00:06:14.74
or you can go to their website.
Child Impact Dot org. That's
child impact dot, or
00:06:14.74\00:06:21.08
you can email them has it help
at child impact Dot Org. That's
helped a GOP. A child
00:06:21.08\00:06:29.02
impact Dot org. This was for
Ashley. this is a question for
the college student. Ashley,
00:06:29.02\00:06:37.53
I'm sure college is busy. Why do
you decide to work for child
impact on top of school?
00:06:37.53\00:06:42.43
And what is your favorite part
of the job? comes John. That's
those are all good questions.
00:06:42.43\00:06:50.31
Well, the easy answer is, you
know, having a job is nice. Of
course, I think what I was a
00:06:50.31\00:06:55.78
student missionary at Riverside,
I you know, I really discovered
00:06:55.78\00:07:01.58
that I enjoyed working in
ministry. There's something
especially for feeling about it.
00:07:01.58\00:07:05.52
>> For working for like a
for-profit company for the whole
goal is just, you know,
00:07:05.52\00:07:09.89
about making money and like
pleasing your customers or
whatever. Some of the when
00:07:09.89\00:07:14.83
you're working in ministry on is
easy to align that with like the
00:07:14.83\00:07:17.70
spiritual journey that I'm on
because I feel like, you know,
it's it's an avenue for the Holy
00:07:17.70\00:07:23.51
Spirit work through me in some
way. And the county major. So
you can work through me with my
00:07:23.51\00:07:30.75
maybe a county schools, a marine
in class and help on the finance
00:07:30.75\00:07:36.65
and of things. But and you, I
think my favorite part about
working for child impact,
00:07:36.65\00:07:41.62
probably the relationships I've
built on the team. I have to
say. >> I feel like we have a
00:07:41.62\00:07:45.03
pretty close knit team man. I
really like a lot of people that
work there. It's been
00:07:45.03\00:07:50.07
such a joy to get to know them
and kind of sharing that passion
00:07:50.07\00:07:56.37
from issues. So. >> Oh, yeah, I
my office is in a place where I
can kind of hear when the phone
00:07:56.37\00:07:59.54
calls coming in. And Ashley has
such an enthusiasm in her voice
because she's been a part of
00:07:59.54\00:08:05.55
what child impact is doing.
She's experienced it and we have
another young lady that
00:08:05.55\00:08:09.45
just joined our team and
sponsorship and she spent what
is it 2 or 3 years southeast
00:08:09.45\00:08:15.19
Asia, Laos and Cambodia. And
there's just a life that comes
from when you know the
00:08:15.19\00:08:21.73
difference it makes when you've
seen it firsthand, it's just
going like this board
00:08:21.73\00:08:25.10
member that goes over there to
visit one of our projects to do
some dental work and comes
00:08:25.10\00:08:28.80
back saying I want to adopt 2
kids and that we can't wait to
go back again. That's
00:08:28.80\00:08:35.54
beautiful. Omar question here.
This child impact helping rescue
00:08:35.54\00:08:39.08
boys as well. And that's of
great. This comes from Jay.
That's a great question. We've
00:08:39.08\00:08:42.08
been talking a lot about
rescuing girls. >> Child
marriage or prostitution. What
00:08:42.08\00:08:48.46
about boys? >> We don't have any
specifically focused on that. I
would say Ethiopia would
00:08:48.46\00:08:52.66
probably be the closest where
these kids are. they're all
referred to us by the local
00:08:52.66\00:08:56.50
kind of social services, 2 silly
Mons to orphanages take them in.
00:08:56.50\00:09:03.97
And these are kids who are at
risk like you said of going and
being recruited into the civil
00:09:03.97\00:09:10.05
war. There. But nothing
specifically targeted at boys.
This is an issue I think about 4
00:09:10.05\00:09:17.92
out of 5 kids who are trafficked
are girls. And so we've kind of
gone after that lane are
00:09:17.92\00:09:20.69
certainly open to it. If anyone
out there has a project they
need funding with or a passion
00:09:20.69\00:09:26.23
for that, we can partner with
them. Certainly something that
we're open to and would love
00:09:26.23\00:09:30.13
to be involved with in the
future. We had somebody come to
us with the project and say
00:09:30.13\00:09:34.40
this is a great project. And you
know that Jason's responses kind
00:09:34.40\00:09:39.87
of how great is it? Are you
willing to help support Yep, Put
some seed money in to get that
00:09:39.87\00:09:48.08
going. That's right that. Let's
go back to Zambia I think we
have some more stories from
00:09:48.08\00:09:53.36
there. Maybe some pictures.
Yeah, there some photos of a
young lady that we But I think
00:09:53.36\00:09:57.83
>> as we went around to the
different there's a gathering
place is really the water pump
00:09:57.83\00:10:03.97
where you go and gather water to
take back for your your home or
00:10:03.97\00:10:07.57
for your family. >> And so
here's one of those locations,
wherever there's a water pump.
00:10:07.57\00:10:11.27
There's people in. It's young
people in girls typically that
go and and take these buckets
00:10:11.27\00:10:15.98
and then they put them up on
their head and they carry them
along the girl. The pink right
00:10:15.98\00:10:21.75
was kind of a leader these
girls. We begin to engage with
their son Arctic yourself very
00:10:21.75\00:10:28.96
well. And here she is carrying a
bucket of water. the team at we
just one away. And just said
00:10:28.96\00:10:35.43
there's something special about
that girl. We need to go and see
what's going on there.
00:10:35.43\00:10:39.80
And so they went back out and
they found her again. I mean, we
bumpy dirt roads and, you
00:10:39.80\00:10:42.94
know, all through to get to
where she was at, they found her
again and they found out
00:10:42.94\00:10:47.48
she had been able to finish high
school, but she hadn't been able
00:10:47.48\00:10:51.31
to continue. And that was her
dream was to do something
additional with her life to have
00:10:51.31\00:10:56.99
a bigger vision for life. And so
they said, how would you like to
be part of our tailoring
00:10:56.99\00:11:01.12
program? Riverside? So literally
within 2 weeks of meeting her,
she's in the tailor a program
00:11:01.12\00:11:06.66
right there. Riverside, and we
have a picture. The first one of
the first dress that she made.
00:11:06.66\00:11:10.70
So that's the shot right That's
name is mercy. And it just shows
00:11:10.70\00:11:15.80
how you know how quickly life
can change, you know, from like,
I don't have any hope for
00:11:15.80\00:11:19.54
further education to now. I have
a skill to make beautiful
dresses and they have a uniform
00:11:19.54\00:11:25.71
shop there at Riverside. And so
these kids can actually work and
make uniforms that, you know,
00:11:25.71\00:11:29.25
the girls and >> Do they get
their own sewing machine like
00:11:29.25\00:11:33.79
later they can take as far as a
traitor. Know, it's just we have
some projects where we do that
00:11:33.79\00:11:39.56
we did that certainly in India.
That was part of the strategy
with that particular one. I'm
00:11:39.56\00:11:43.53
not sure what that will look it,
riverside, but we we do have a
new initiative. Maybe
00:11:43.53\00:11:48.74
Jason could share with what that
is with. These girls are that
are already caught in the
00:11:48.74\00:11:53.98
trafficking. >> So we wanted a
more like direct rescue project
00:11:53.98\00:11:58.71
to get into Riverside girls have
to pass state exam kind of it's
00:11:58.71\00:12:05.12
a state exam, but >> I think, is
a specific exam that Riverside
has. Yeah, you have to be at a
00:12:05.12\00:12:08.82
certain academic level to get
into the school. And so a lot of
girls that they find they've
00:12:08.82\00:12:13.86
been out of school for a while.
And so unfortunately, they don't
pass the test and are able to
00:12:13.86\00:12:16.56
get into class. In fact, I just
got an even if I told you guys
this, I just kind of
00:12:16.56\00:12:23.54
request this week, a special
request, a note written about a
girl who came. They found
00:12:23.54\00:12:29.48
fit all the criteria for a
vulnerable girl who didn't pass
the test. I'm going back
00:12:29.48\00:12:34.38
home to her village and she
studied for the last year, came
back and passed the test
00:12:34.38\00:12:41.09
pass exams and they said would
you make an exception and bring
this girl? And so the
00:12:41.09\00:12:45.13
right number, 36, now he's
number right now. Yeah. And so I
said absolutely. She studied
00:12:45.13\00:12:52.90
hard. She worked hard. Let's put
her in the program right now.
But what we wanted to do
00:12:52.90\00:12:57.87
is an intervention, a real
rescue for girls who are
actually being traffic right
00:12:57.87\00:13:01.01
now in the streets. They can't
pass this test. And so what
we've done, Craig, came by our
00:13:01.01\00:13:07.78
office. We sat down kind of had
a brainstorming session, said
what can we do for these
00:13:07.78\00:13:11.12
girls? We want to be involved in
the rescue. And so they're going
00:13:11.12\00:13:17.99
to pilot a 5 month program at
Riverside. That will be a
mixture of tailoring and
00:13:17.99\00:13:23.53
mentoring. And so for 5 months,
they're going to mentor these
girls in all the subjects so
00:13:23.53\00:13:26.74
they can pass this test.
Hopefully at the end of 5
months, but teach them the skill
00:13:26.74\00:13:31.64
of tailoring so that after 5
months as they decide, I don't
want to go to school. It's not
00:13:31.64\00:13:35.88
really for me. I'd rather have
my own business. They're old
enough. Well, give them the
00:13:35.88\00:13:40.28
sewing machine and then they can
start a home tailoring business.
There's plenty of work that they
00:13:40.28\00:13:44.19
can do and making dresses and
uniforms. They're in NBA. The
other option will be they can
00:13:44.19\00:13:48.46
do it another 5 months if
they're getting close, we're
going to have 2 sessions a
00:13:48.46\00:13:52.69
year. And so we hope to have 10
to 12 girls and each session.
We're going to pilot
00:13:52.69\00:13:58.23
that in the next 2 weeks there
out interviewing for the first
batch of girls for that. And
00:13:58.23\00:14:02.47
so that's a new project only
cost us about $1000 per girl for
the whole 5 months. a
00:14:02.47\00:14:07.84
large majority of that is the
sewing machine. So we want to be
able to provide that sewing
00:14:07.84\00:14:11.08
machine for them at the end, if
they don't go into school. Our
hope, of course, for them
00:14:11.08\00:14:16.15
is that those girls were
transferred into this new dorm
that we're building that will
00:14:16.15\00:14:18.99
be done this fall and they'll be
part of those 100 girls. But if
they decide not to will
00:14:18.99\00:14:24.79
give them the sewing machine and
help them get set up and that
home business. So we're
00:14:24.79\00:14:27.23
really excited about the new
project. >> It's exciting to me
00:14:27.23\00:14:30.93
because you know anything about
this topic. I haven't given it a
lot of thought to be honest
00:14:30.93\00:14:33.44
because it's so horrific. You
know, how do you bear that kind
of reality with you can't
00:14:33.44\00:14:39.34
do anything about it. on a daily
basis. And yet I've kind of been
00:14:39.34\00:14:45.05
just past thinking about this
interview ashamed of myself.
Well, this is happening in
00:14:45.05\00:14:50.69
America. It's happening all over
the world and every single one
of us should be investing in
00:14:50.69\00:14:56.49
helping preventing, you know, in
some way and I feel like you
guys have really given at least
00:14:56.49\00:15:02.33
me an opportunity to feel like
now I can do something about
this. I can commit to a girl
00:15:02.33\00:15:07.50
or a monthly donation or
something that I feel like. I'm
not just, you know,
00:15:07.50\00:15:13.01
turning a blind eye and
pretending it's not there or
ucas. It's emotional. And yet
00:15:13.01\00:15:17.85
what good does that do anybody
right? So it's I know what can I
do? And yeah, I just want to
00:15:17.85\00:15:22.55
thank you guys for giving us all
opportunity. >> And you mention
00:15:22.55\00:15:28.72
America and we do have a small
project here you. Yeah, yeah.
And I you know, really, I think
00:15:28.72\00:15:34.93
one of the dynamics that this
project has brought out this in
South Chicago is usually a
00:15:34.93\00:15:41.24
father, this in jail and a
mother prostitution. And so
that's the kind of dynamic
00:15:41.24\00:15:45.51
where kids are just totally
neglected. And another relative
may step in but not
00:15:45.51\00:15:49.51
have the resources to be able to
help. It's very expensive here
in America. It's cost a
00:15:49.51\00:15:54.05
lot more. You know, there's
probably helping one child
hears. You can help 10 in
00:15:54.05\00:15:59.49
another country. But
nevertheless, we need to do
both. both end. It's not
00:15:59.49\00:16:02.32
either or right. And we want to
help these kids. But I think one
00:16:02.32\00:16:07.86
statistic that's really
important for us to be aware of
is that within 24 to 48 hours of
00:16:07.86\00:16:13.10
a child running away, they've
been approached by a trafficker.
But most of trafficking in the
00:16:13.10\00:16:18.77
United States happens on the
Internet there's websites.
People go to and these girls are
00:16:18.77\00:16:25.55
underage and police are all the
time trying to go under cover
and break up these trafficking
00:16:25.55\00:16:29.98
rings. But there's a lot more
resources probably going in to
stop it here in the U.S.. But
00:16:29.98\00:16:36.32
real dilemma is that the U.S. is
largely funding trafficking
globally, right? We are the
00:16:36.32\00:16:41.50
yeah. We're going to customer.
Yeah. We're putting the money
00:16:41.50\00:16:46.87
into it. >> Dash is
heartbreaking. So that means we
have 16 projects. If you have
00:16:46.87\00:16:49.34
South Chicago, that would be 6.
That's what I think we I haven't
seen it OK? So then I
00:16:49.34\00:16:55.91
didn't make it well. I don't
know. Maybe I missed it. South
Chicago, are you trying to do
00:16:55.91\00:17:02.65
a safe house to try what was
that? We were working at a local
church this in South
00:17:02.65\00:17:06.65
Chicago and that church is very
much in touch with government
00:17:06.65\00:17:11.46
individuals and want actually
they've had a goal to provide
free evidence, education for
00:17:11.46\00:17:16.23
children in South Chicago, which
I think that Chicago is it
16,000 years that the number
00:17:16.23\00:17:22.84
that we've heard them, 16,000
girls a year that go missing in
00:17:22.84\00:17:26.61
Chicago. >> And the teen 1000
thousands go missing a year. And
that's, you know, in Chicago.
00:17:26.61\00:17:31.05
But South Chicago is kind of the
hot bed of that. And so that's
one city. Yeah. And so we have
00:17:31.05\00:17:37.39
a very small project. Like I
said, we're sponsoring for
children, but we're paying for
00:17:37.39\00:17:43.09
their school tuition. And you
know what? Tuition costs in the
U.S. for private education
00:17:43.09\00:17:46.96
expense. So that's an expensive
project. But of course, we can
00:17:46.96\00:17:49.80
add more children to that
project as well. But it's a
partnership with a local church.
00:17:49.80\00:17:54.97
>> Where to live them. So if
you're of providing education
for these 4, yeah, they try
00:17:54.97\00:17:59.74
they're trying to support with a
relative that may not be able
that can provide a safe
00:17:59.74\00:18:03.45
place but may not be able
to provide what the child fully
00:18:03.45\00:18:07.02
needs. >> Got it. So it's kind
of resource supplement another.
It's OK, yes, the grandparent
00:18:07.02\00:18:11.45
or something like that to the >>
Let's talk about South America
often we talk about
00:18:11.45\00:18:15.16
any projects South America. >>
Jason is Jason Chase. This one
down. So this is Colombia.
00:18:15.16\00:18:21.53
>> Yes, so we don't have any
projects in South America right
now. friend of ours
00:18:21.53\00:18:26.23
approached us and said, hey, I
know you guys are trying to
expand. I the guy for you to
00:18:26.23\00:18:33.44
work with and South America.
This is a very mission minded
businessman down and Colombia.
00:18:33.44\00:18:41.32
And he had a passion for
reaching out to a local
indigenous community in the
00:18:41.32\00:18:44.32
jungle. And there's very little
to no government involvement
00:18:44.32\00:18:51.73
because these are indigenous
people out in the jungle. And so
what he was sharing with us is
00:18:51.73\00:18:56.93
that about 90% of the girls from
this community grow up to become
prostitutes? Now, I was kind
00:18:56.93\00:19:02.64
of give this caviar. We don't
believe there's such a thing as
a child prostitute. If a
00:19:02.64\00:19:07.98
child is under 18, right
involved some type of sexual
activity that's for for money.
00:19:07.98\00:19:12.05
They're a victim of human
trafficking. It's rent. And so
these girls, they've already
00:19:12.05\00:19:18.42
rescue 3. They're 13, 14, 15
years old. I think 2 of them
already have kids at this age.
00:19:18.42\00:19:25.59
There's a huge number still out
there to be rescued. And so we
were approached and
00:19:25.59\00:19:30.60
said, hey, we like to start this
jungle rescue project,
essentially where we can go
00:19:30.60\00:19:35.10
and rent a safe house. Where we
can put by workers, social
workers that can go out in the
00:19:35.10\00:19:42.14
community and find these girls.
Right now we're being abused by
00:19:42.14\00:19:45.45
family members or other people
in the tribe. Bring them to the
safe house and then they're
00:19:45.45\00:19:50.65
going to transport them. It's
like 4 hours by plane or boat is
the only way to get out of this
00:19:50.65\00:19:54.56
area to this has been a scam pus
where there's us school. They
have different vocational
00:19:54.56\00:20:00.00
trainings. They have bakeries
restaurants. So they're going to
learn all kinds of trades.
00:20:00.00\00:20:05.37
They're going to be able to have
an education and then the dream
then is to build a dorm
00:20:05.37\00:20:10.11
on campus where we can house up
to 50 of these girls. So right
now they can take about
00:20:10.11\00:20:14.28
10 to 12 with their current
facilities and then we need to
build another dorm summer.
00:20:14.28\00:20:18.21
What we've done in Riverside,
where can have 50 and then kind
of stage 3, our ultimate
00:20:18.21\00:20:22.22
dream would be to build our own
community center in that
community where we could house
00:20:22.22\00:20:27.69
by workers and social workers
and counselors and they can be
working to kind of stop the
00:20:27.69\00:20:32.53
problem at its core by working
in the community. So this team
has done a tremendous job of
00:20:32.53\00:20:36.80
building more with the local
tribal leaders and the community
00:20:36.80\00:20:41.17
there where they said, hey, we
are totally open to coming to
help us with this issue. We want
00:20:41.17\00:20:46.84
you to be And so that's what
we're doing. And that will be
our big focus on July 30 this
00:20:46.84\00:20:53.18
year, the World Day against
human trafficking. And so we're
going to be doing a big
00:20:53.18\00:20:55.48
campaign about the project. I'm
going to be going down in April
with Jasper to do a film
00:20:55.48\00:20:59.32
on. And so I can't wait to see
it myself. But they've
identified the safe house and
00:20:59.32\00:21:03.73
we're going to take possession
of that. And just a couple weeks
and then the rescues
00:21:03.73\00:21:08.13
will start after that. So we're
really excited to see how got
continues to develop
00:21:08.13\00:21:11.37
that program in South America.
>> You all are visionary. That's
just incredible. You
00:21:11.37\00:21:17.31
know, to think all we can do
this and now into the side of
safe house and now we're going
00:21:17.31\00:21:20.71
move transport them here where
they could have education and
learn these trades praise the
00:21:20.71\00:21:25.78
Lord for God connecting you with
the people in order to make that
happen. Do you ever
00:21:25.78\00:21:29.65
have people who come out? I'm
thinking of the girls, maybe
they come to a safe house and
00:21:29.65\00:21:34.32
then the relative for the person
who's trafficking them tries to
like pull them back
00:21:34.32\00:21:38.49
in. I mean, do you ever have
situations like that with the
00:21:38.49\00:21:44.97
any of these? >> I what I what I
am aware of is that parents are
in with in tears thinking that
00:21:44.97\00:21:51.24
that their kids, if there's a
parent involved, that they have
a chance to do something else
00:21:51.24\00:21:53.81
because as Jason was they may
not be able to feed all the kids
that they've had. And so
00:21:53.81\00:22:00.12
to know that one child is in a
safe place, that they're going
to be taken care of as a big
00:22:00.12\00:22:05.42
relief. And I'm one of the
parents said that our kids are
children used only worry about
00:22:05.42\00:22:09.16
food and survival. Now they can
chase their And so it's very
welcome by them. Of
00:22:09.16\00:22:16.60
course, if there's some real
direct trafficking involved,
there are dangers involved
00:22:16.60\00:22:20.04
with that. But at this point, I
think pretty much we feel like
God protected us from
00:22:20.04\00:22:25.41
those kind situations to this
point. We do have security that
hired at projects. And so
00:22:25.41\00:22:32.55
we don't want to take those
risks. You know, you are act. >>
Yeah, we've been interested
00:22:32.55\00:22:35.48
with these kids. And so our
teams have done a fantastic job
of working on the ground
00:22:35.48\00:22:39.22
to protect them. You yeah,
there's fences and security in
security Tower. One of our
00:22:39.22\00:22:44.89
locations. Yeah. >> Sure.
There's another question here.
00:22:44.89\00:22:50.93
How do you introduce chases to
these kids that go through
trafficking? They have a hard
00:22:50.93\00:22:53.60
time understanding a person
that will love them with a godly
00:22:53.60\00:23:01.98
love. >> The visual that came to
my mind Jerry from FAU coast
there in Tanzania. And we were
00:23:01.98\00:23:07.28
recording a video and he says
I'm we want them to know that we
that we love them because
00:23:07.28\00:23:12.29
we really do. And the tears just
started flowing. And you see
that kind of heart of this
00:23:12.29\00:23:19.83
man who as a missionary that
loves God with his whole heart.
And I was able to 9
00:23:19.83\00:23:27.14
individuals while we were there,
including a security guard you
00:23:27.14\00:23:32.41
know, was just introduced Jesus.
But they saw a picture of Jesus
through the people that are
00:23:32.41\00:23:36.54
there providing them with a safe
place. And so I was able to see
that first hand. I think,
00:23:36.54\00:23:42.72
you said, that this is something
you've observed in terms of the.
00:23:42.72\00:23:47.32
Kind of the evangelism side of
people finding Jesus. >> Yeah,
00:23:47.32\00:23:52.59
it's it's super interesting. We
would go on these mission when I
was there out into the Bush to
00:23:52.59\00:23:56.83
like off of Riverside Farm
property, basically into the
middle of nowhere and we would
00:23:56.83\00:24:01.87
always show this movie. About
the life of Jesus. I couldn't
tell you what the name of the
00:24:01.87\00:24:08.31
movie is probably made back in
like 50's or 60's or something.
It was a black and white. No. So
00:24:08.31\00:24:15.45
coldly leading to the head
teller. Haha. >> anyways, so
00:24:15.45\00:24:20.59
they would do a really good job
translating the language of
whatever local child we were at
00:24:20.59\00:24:25.39
over the dialogue of the movie.
And so the people would always
be like, well, like it would
00:24:25.39\00:24:31.57
probably be the first time like
many of them have maybe seen a
movie like actually in
00:24:31.57\00:24:34.27
their language or anything like
that because the other 6.70,
different tribes in
00:24:34.27\00:24:39.74
Zambia. So it's like really
crazy, like find a movie in
their specific legal issue.
00:24:39.74\00:24:42.11
Now. They they would be so
amazed at that. And then you
would get to the part where
00:24:42.11\00:24:48.12
Jesus is like multiplying the
fish and the water. And a lot of
these people have been
00:24:48.12\00:24:52.69
fishing villages on lakes and
that's their reality. Like they
go out fishing every day
00:24:52.69\00:24:57.46
and they see that Mayor call on
the TV screen and that just was
like, well, that that
00:24:57.46\00:25:00.83
could be real that actually his
home to them in a different way
00:25:00.83\00:25:05.13
that probably hits home to me.
So. >> Oh, my God can do that.
Yeah. I would think also
00:25:05.13\00:25:13.74
>> that how God has revealed
himself in his word as
deliberate or is the great
00:25:13.74\00:25:19.58
emancipator. He's the one who
set the captives free and he
describes himself like that.
00:25:19.58\00:25:25.19
Again and again and again. He's
the one that set the relates
00:25:25.19\00:25:29.66
free, the 10 Commandments. The
first you know him when you
think about the first
00:25:29.66\00:25:33.73
commandment people often don't
realize that it entails got
identified who he is and that he
00:25:33.73\00:25:40.94
is the one who took them out of
the land of Egypt and out of the
house of bondage and for them to
00:25:40.94\00:25:44.87
identify that is God. I would
think that it would be a
struggle because I think we
00:25:44.87\00:25:50.61
struggle with it. How can God
let this this kind of stuff
happened on this earth? And I
00:25:50.61\00:25:54.85
you hear those kind of questions
a lot when you see so much
horrible things taking
00:25:54.85\00:25:59.65
place, you know, God must be in
so much pain on a daily basis.
Really. But I think
00:25:59.65\00:26:04.43
it's important that they
realized no, this God, there was
a time when God wanted to
00:26:04.43\00:26:09.16
be like the civil ruler over
people. And when he was there
was no slavery. Trust me.
00:26:09.16\00:26:13.20
There was no But we said. >>
We want Cesar to be our king and
00:26:13.20\00:26:20.08
was their child trafficking
under the Roman rule? Absolutely
right. So we chose world the
00:26:20.08\00:26:25.71
government, basically this
world's been could you know? So
now we have this demonic. Yeah,
00:26:25.71\00:26:30.49
Satan is in control of so much.
And so that's why these things
are happening. But again, I
00:26:30.49\00:26:34.79
guess the contrast, if they
could see, Gee says is the one
who now he's the reason why
00:26:34.79\00:26:39.49
you're here. He's the liberate
or he's the one that set you
free. I love what you said.
00:26:39.49\00:26:41.86
Doctor Tom, about the example
because I mean, you can you can
teach. Okay. This is what
00:26:41.86\00:26:46.63
the Bible says. that's exciting.
But >> when you see it live
00:26:46.63\00:26:49.57

you see see that with either the
people who are working or, you
00:26:49.57\00:26:55.91
know, the staff member there at
the safe house or whatever.
That's incredible. When you
00:26:55.91\00:27:00.62
see Jesus in flat, yes, you
know, living through someone
that is pliable. Yeah. Before
00:27:00.62\00:27:06.15
we go to another project, just
will mention this here. Thank

world. >> Right now, I want to
offer a special prayer for those
00:28:40.25\00:28:45.55
that are facing the struggles.
I'm human trafficking, sex
trafficking, like all these
00:28:45.55\00:28:50.93

are happening in this world. I'm

leaders guide them. As they try
00:28:56.13\00:29:00.87
to figure out the best way
Please be with our team as we
continue to navigate some of
00:29:00.87\00:29:08.94
these And I just pay fee anyone
who is out there right now who
is watching this that might be
00:29:08.94\00:29:13.38

Help to know that you're there

when they need it. >> he's given
00:29:20.22\00:29:24.76
the courage to find that help
and be able to seek it out of
the situation. Sometimes it can
00:29:24.76\00:29:32.37
take courage to even meet the
first step out of that sum. >>
Yeah, thank you for
00:29:32.37\00:29:38.27
everything that you do for All
the blessings. You continue to
00:29:38.27\00:29:42.64
give us. >> You pretty man. >>
Let's talk a little more about
is in June 30 or July
00:29:42.64\00:29:48.58
3rd, July 30 July 30. So I know
you all put it together. A
special video that churches
00:29:48.58\00:29:54.26
can do so this is not just
opportunity for you tonight to
become involved financially or
00:29:54.26\00:30:00.13
to sponsor children or to help
any of these projects with
Operation Child Rescue. But
00:30:00.13\00:30:04.37
also if you are a church
members, specifically the 7th
Day Adventist Church or maybe
00:30:04.37\00:30:08.67
even you might connect with
other churches that are now. So
I do a nation. Any church
00:30:08.67\00:30:13.88
that you're watching right now
and you say that you want we see
these videos. Tell us
00:30:13.88\00:30:18.81
about the videos and what you do
without sure. >> First of all,
00:30:18.81\00:30:23.49
we have this year introduced a 5
minute video for local churches
to be show once a month. And we
00:30:23.49\00:30:29.92
have a variety of our projects
that are featured those videos.
by contacting our office, you
00:30:29.92\00:30:34.60
can asked to receive those
videos. And so we already have
one ready for January February
00:30:34.60\00:30:40.17
March. They're already We have a
link that you just click on and
get those videos and we
00:30:40.17\00:30:44.84
really make it a very
appropriate for a church service
00:30:44.84\00:30:47.88
because the video simply ends by
saying bring hope to a child and
it gives gives organizations
00:30:47.88\00:30:53.01
name. So we're not making big
appeals for finances or anything
like this. So it's really
00:30:53.01\00:30:59.72
raising awareness and giving
people exposure individual's
exposure to some of the the
00:30:59.72\00:31:04.63
needs present the world. We live
in. But especially July 30, we
have a video that we focused
00:31:04.63\00:31:10.87
on human trafficking and a
Sabbath this year is on July.
29, this previous year was
00:31:10.87\00:31:18.51
July 30. So that was quite a
nice time to launch this
initiative. But we raise a lot
00:31:18.51\00:31:24.88
of We have a magazine that we
produce that specifically. We'll
highlight all the top of
00:31:24.88\00:31:30.09
all of the projects were
involved in and we will provide
that for churches to
00:31:30.09\00:31:34.46
hand out along with the special
video. And we just think its
time part is the 7th
00:31:34.46\00:31:39.93
Day Adventist Church that we
give attention to this topic.
We're certainly leading the
00:31:39.93\00:31:44.83
way. And, you know, we have we
can put our project so on, you
know, one sheet back in front
00:31:44.83\00:31:49.74
and there needs to be much more
that's done. This is not enough.
This is a drop in the
00:31:49.74\00:31:54.31
bucket. And we want to do more.
And so we need help to do And
there's 2 ways to do
00:31:54.31\00:32:01.58
that. One is to support
operation child Rescue
financially. We would love to
00:32:01.58\00:32:04.25
have donors that say, hey, every
month I want to get to that
project. I would like to
00:32:04.25\00:32:08.02
provide some kind an amount
every year that you can count on
that you can make sure you
00:32:08.02\00:32:13.50
do these projects. But I always
tell people another way to help
us through influence.
00:32:13.50\00:32:18.83
And if your local church member
and you have the influence that
00:32:18.83\00:32:22.97
you can get a 5 minute video
showing every month that your
church or the you can get this
00:32:22.97\00:32:27.08
July 30 video shown and then
hand magazines out. There are
people that will hear about it.
00:32:27.08\00:32:31.25
That will say I do have the
resources to help open a new
project or to help support on an
00:32:31.25\00:32:37.62
ongoing basis. So we would love
to hear from individuals in
terms of being able to share
00:32:37.62\00:32:41.59
those videos. >> How do they
contact? You have to say, hey,
00:32:41.59\00:32:44.66
you know, I'm in my local church
and I want to share the video
warm, get the magazine's. How do
00:32:44.66\00:32:48.90
they? >> Yes, so they can
just contact our office color
00:32:48.90\00:32:51.53
office or send an email and just
say we'd like to receive the
videos to share a local
00:32:51.53\00:32:54.77
church and we will nurture that
friendship and relationship with
00:32:54.77\00:32:59.34
an individual call them an
ambassador for child impact and
we will be in regular
00:32:59.34\00:33:04.55
contact. Let those individuals
know when the next video comes
out and make sure they have
00:33:04.55\00:33:07.78
those resources that they want
to share. >> men I know people
00:33:07.78\00:33:11.59
are listening on the radio as
well. So let's actually give
that. So if someone is not
00:33:11.59\00:33:14.42
watching, they can, they can
hear that it was help at child
00:33:14.42\00:33:22.33
impact Dot org. >> Help at child
impact Dot org or that phone
number, if you could switch that
00:33:22.33\00:33:25.43
again. It's 4 to 3, 9, 1, 0, 0,
6, 6, 7. That's 4, 2, 3, 9, 1,
00:33:25.43\00:33:38.28
0, 0, 6, 6, 7, >> And Tom,
that's a great way for people to
be involved in churches. But
00:33:38.28\00:33:42.42
what's another in a ship you've
been working on with maybe some
doctor's offices, clinics,
00:33:42.42\00:33:47.36
people with business. Sure. You
know, you know, again, the sun
point of view. We cut a piloted
00:33:47.36\00:33:53.16
in our local community. The same
board member that went over to
visit the project was to
00:33:53.16\00:33:55.73
adopt. These kids said, look, we
have a dental office. We can put
magazines out in our
00:33:55.73\00:34:01.07
office and they were all gone. I
mean, that people took them just
due to come into the
00:34:01.07\00:34:05.27
office. There. And they said you
what? We had some in Spanish so
00:34:05.27\00:34:08.18
that those ones when as well and
so they get a supply. We do 5
magazines year. They're
00:34:08.18\00:34:13.78
beautifully done. The individual
that does that's our
videographer. And he's been
00:34:13.78\00:34:19.55
featured National by National
Geographic. So the the photos
are spectacular. But the stories
00:34:19.55\00:34:22.82
are where the power's out. And
if we can get those into the
hands of individuals, people
00:34:22.82\00:34:27.46
feel compelled that they want to
be a part of this. And so that's
a big way to help as well. I'm
00:34:27.46\00:34:33.67
with I'm just using influence. I
think I want to Joe, we're
hoping because when we take on
00:34:33.67\00:34:42.61
14, 15 projects, it's not just
these are projects for 2023.
Those same 14 projects are
00:34:42.61\00:34:50.45
projects for 2020 for 2025. We
keep going, right? You're what
do we do? We can't leave these
00:34:50.45\00:34:55.82
kids hanging. We can't leave
them without a path to a bright
future. And so we would
00:34:55.82\00:35:00.16
love it if there were some large
donors that would say, hey, we
would like put this
00:35:00.16\00:35:04.60
much in every year that you can
count on. So, you know, these
projects are covered
00:35:04.60\00:35:10.07
because really with sponsorship
every month, the sponsors Sens
00:35:10.07\00:35:12.84
resources with a person child
rescue is different. Yeah, it's
whatever's raised is what we
00:35:12.84\00:35:17.18
can do. And so if we knew that
we had a certain amount of
resources that we could count
00:35:17.18\00:35:20.72
on every year, it gives us
confidence to go out and start
new projects because we don't
00:35:20.72\00:35:25.02
know if we can until the funds
come in. So that would be a
tremendous blessing to us. If
00:35:25.02\00:35:29.92
a few people step forward that
way. >> Yeah, you know, I ice.
00:35:29.92\00:35:34.20
I'm sure I'm like everyone else.
We think all if I'd lived during
the Civil War era prior
00:35:34.20\00:35:38.83
to civil war. And I live in the
North, I'd be Harriet Tubman. It
00:35:38.83\00:35:45.97
involved in the, you know,
underground railroad. And I
wouldn't be just, you know,
00:35:45.97\00:35:50.28
calmly, you note or if I when
Wilbur will for for us, I would
refuse to drink sugar because,
00:35:50.28\00:35:56.69
you know, I'm saying we think
that this would be our action
because we're looking we're
00:35:56.69\00:36:02.16
looking back. But what are we
doing now? I just feel like. I'm
just convicted that probably
00:36:02.16\00:36:07.83
for too long. I've and again, I
see myself. I'm on the Good
Samaritan on the victim. Know
00:36:07.83\00:36:13.64
you're so busy. You're too busy
to take care of and and how can
we not do something
00:36:13.64\00:36:19.87
right? How can we not do
something? Whether it's donating
whatever it is. You
00:36:19.87\00:36:23.81
know, that monthly sum the
hotline number that you gave to.
I think that's important
00:36:23.81\00:36:29.55
for everyone to have in their
phone because this stuff is
happening underneath our noses
00:36:29.55\00:36:36.76
and we don't know it yet. But
if we're intentional him praying
00:36:36.76\00:36:41.50
like Holy Spirit, please impress
me if there's something that I
feel uncomfortable around.
00:36:41.50\00:36:44.83
noticed something I can call
that want and say, hey, I've
noticed at this address, I don't
00:36:44.83\00:36:49.57
feel comfortable with it. And
you you have someone to tell,
right? We can be eyes and ears
00:36:49.57\00:36:54.94
that. >> And when you're
involved in this, you start to
00:36:54.94\00:36:56.95
see things differently. I mean,
I was driving along in my car.
My son saw this. This young man
00:36:56.95\00:37:02.38
pulling a suitcase with clothes
hanging out of it and you know,
00:37:02.38\00:37:06.65
so we need to see what's going
on with this young And I went in
and started talking with him. We
00:37:06.65\00:37:10.13
ask if you could use my phone
and he was in tears, just
weeping and just Just a
00:37:10.13\00:37:15.90
terrible situation who was in
and you want to be able to get
help for someone like But I
00:37:15.90\00:37:22.90
want to say, and my skin is in
the game. You know, our family
has a home business that we're
00:37:22.90\00:37:28.48
involved in and we donate to
Operation Child Rescue as much.
You know, as we possibly
00:37:28.48\00:37:33.62
can. And we also sponsor
children. And so I'm a part of
this organization. But I but
00:37:33.62\00:37:40.16
you know, as part of it, I've
seen it firsthand. And I believe
in myself and I want
00:37:40.16\00:37:42.96
to be involved myself and, you
know, Moyes challenges are more
that we can do. Is there
00:37:42.96\00:37:49.20
is there something else? Do we
really need to do this to our
house right now? Or can we
00:37:49.20\00:37:53.20
help more kids? Absolute, right.
And those are the kind of
decisions we all make. And
00:37:53.20\00:37:56.87
do we really need to have that
nice of a house or do we really
need to, you know this
00:37:56.87\00:38:00.98
or that? And and so we're making
those decisions all the time.
And we want to have
00:38:00.98\00:38:05.65
enjoyable things in this in this
life. But there's children that
00:38:05.65\00:38:09.52
don't have anything enjoyable
about their life, their life's a
dead end and they're trapped and
00:38:09.52\00:38:13.59
we haven't opted to bring them
hope. And I think all of us are
00:38:13.59\00:38:16.93
responsible to do something
about that. First with child
impact or someone else. it is
00:38:16.93\00:38:21.63
some other organization that
needs to happen. We need to be
involved. and I was just
00:38:21.63\00:38:25.23
thinking of the girl and has an
MBA to sit. >> That they would
00:38:25.23\00:38:29.50
sacrifice themselves for
siblings, but we can sacrifice
creature comforts going out to
00:38:29.50\00:38:34.08
eat or we back or find something
financially, you know, in order
to reach out and help
00:38:34.08\00:38:39.95
some 3ABN is going to step
forward and we would give funds
to Zambia project. that
00:38:39.95\00:38:45.19
will be having a child impact
next week. So we believe and
what's happening. Thank you so
00:38:45.19\00:38:50.26
much up for, but we appeal to
you as step forward. See what
God is asking you to do. This
00:38:50.26\00:38:57.70
is not a big us on. This is not
foreseen you anything. You just
go to the Lawrence a God.
00:38:57.70\00:39:02.84
What would you have me do you
want me to help you rescue and
reach these girls and boys
00:39:02.84\00:39:12.18
around the world through child
impact. And if so, what does
that look like? And how much
00:39:12.18\00:39:15.48
should I give in? How should I
become involved? You know, so we
just encourage that you do
00:39:15.48\00:39:19.82
is just between you and got you
do it between you and God,
whatever the holy Spirit
00:39:19.82\00:39:24.73
impresses, you. >> Commissioner
most recent Rex rest, it's a
00:39:24.73\00:39:30.90
boy. We have a photo. This was
as of today, I think really go
the extra today. We've got the
00:39:30.90\00:39:35.00
picture today. This just
happened. This is a 2 month-old
baby that weighs 5 pounds and
00:39:35.00\00:39:41.81
the couple sitting there, our
partners at the Falcons,
children home in Tanzania, 3
00:39:41.81\00:39:46.82
big and literally the day before
they head for 4 other children
that they that they
00:39:46.82\00:39:51.22
receive. So we are the major
support for this particular
project in Cannes in Tanzania.
00:39:51.22\00:39:58.43
And, you know, we can talk about
needs, but I want to praise the
Lord for provision.
00:39:58.43\00:40:02.70
Yeah, because they have needed
to expand their They were
challenged by some government
00:40:02.70\00:40:07.44
regulations with having too many
kids in the tight space with
food and also the have
00:40:07.44\00:40:13.11
need for a multipurpose building
where they can worship. They
00:40:13.11\00:40:16.28
have actually prostitutes that
come to church on set, but they
picked them up in town. So
00:40:16.28\00:40:20.55
they're trying to resolve this
issue, right? And so they need a
multipurpose building with
00:40:20.55\00:40:24.69
some training rooms and a donor
stepped forward and funded the
00:40:24.69\00:40:30.79
whole thing. We call during
valor. They could not believe
that our our office was just
00:40:30.79\00:40:35.10
celebrating this like God
provided everything. And so this
is a donor who had already given
00:40:35.10\00:40:40.57
a amount they saw we have a
Friday field report with e-mail
that we send out every
00:40:40.57\00:40:44.21
Friday with the stories and she
received that. And I was
actually in end, though, this
00:40:44.21\00:40:48.91
eastern European country, almost
where it was adopting my son and
00:40:48.91\00:40:54.22
we're back and forth a back and
forth and he misses. I want to
help with this project to what
00:40:54.22\00:40:57.19
you have in mind basically to do
the whole thing. So got Tester
heart. So, you know, we're
00:40:57.19\00:41:03.69
talking about needs, but I
believe God provides a the
resources to meet those
00:41:03.69\00:41:08.20
>> We always say here at
reviewed the blessing is on the
go. Mister Danny Shelton
00:41:08.20\00:41:12.40
always says of the blessing is
on the go. And when you step
forward by Faith, God provides
00:41:12.40\00:41:17.31
incredible thing. talk to us
about Egypt and just look at all
these incredible projects.
00:41:17.31\00:41:20.64
What's happening age? >> Sure.
So we reached out I think both
of us have a mutual
00:41:20.64\00:41:26.68
friend there and he's the
president of the Middle East,
North Africa Union and I think
00:41:26.68\00:41:31.65
you asked him of all the
projects you have in your area
of the world. If you had one
00:41:31.65\00:41:36.93
project that we can support you
at, what would it be? And he
said this school in Cairo,
00:41:36.93\00:41:42.86
Egypt. It is specifically set up
to help Sudanese refugees who
are displaced because of
00:41:42.86\00:41:50.17
the civil war. They have come to
Cairo as refugees and they have
00:41:50.17\00:41:56.41
A lot of them. The fathers, the
husbands have died in the civil
war. And so a lot of times it's
00:41:56.41\00:42:00.42
just the mom with their
children. And you can imagine
playing with what you have in
00:42:00.42\00:42:06.25
your back being displaced and a
new city. And so this school is
set up specifically to help
00:42:06.25\00:42:10.69
them. And so we gave them
operation rescue funds last
year. And then we said, hey,
00:42:10.69\00:42:17.50
let's try to move a lot of
your students on our sponsorship
00:42:17.50\00:42:22.20
model. And so we took 60 kids on
this year and we've got a lot of
them sponsored already. There's
00:42:22.20\00:42:26.21
a few more still some of the
websites our website right now
that can be sponsor me. See
00:42:26.21\00:42:30.41
how and so that's our project
there and care. Egypt working
very closely with the church
00:42:30.41\00:42:35.28
there to help this displaced
population of Sudanese refugees
in Egypt. And I want
00:42:35.28\00:42:40.46
to say thank thank you to 3
being on this one because we had
00:42:40.46\00:42:45.86
recorded a video. >> That shows
on where a video showing Friday
on Fridays. And we've recorded
00:42:45.86\00:42:49.93
one of this project they show on
Friday on 3ABN. Yeah. And 3
night they show on And so we had
00:42:49.93\00:42:54.97
this program have been shown and
we did not have enough children
on the on the Web site that we
00:42:54.97\00:43:00.38
processed yet there on the site.
And so they they all got
sponsor. We had somebody
00:43:00.38\00:43:06.51
calling on Monday saying do
still have any children from
Egypt. We did. But they were
00:43:06.51\00:43:09.82
on the website. So anyway, that
was. >> So that's so cool. I
00:43:09.82\00:43:13.76
just want to clarify. So if
someone wants to sponsor a
child, they can just go on your
00:43:13.76\00:43:16.96
website and maybe choose one
yet. >> And we want to set
actually set a record this
00:43:16.96\00:43:21.73
month. I don't We need to go and
verify, but we think as of
Monday, 104 children have been
00:43:21.73\00:43:26.20
sponsored this month if there's
good number of spots and you
00:43:26.20\00:43:32.61
know, some people sponsor, we
have our largest sponsor has 30
children. But we have some with
00:43:32.61\00:43:36.71
20 children are 10 or 5. I met a
dentist at a a S I that have
been sponsoring 3 children and
00:43:36.71\00:43:45.75
he we visited breakfast and who
came to come by the booth says
time to do more. Many spots
00:43:45.75\00:43:49.89
are 17 more children. So now
they have 20 so yeah, we have
plenty of children. I think
00:43:49.89\00:43:57.20
maybe the all begun after
tonight's program. But we have
more to put up still. Yeah.
00:43:57.20\00:44:01.40
>> This just came in. This is
Lee from Mississippi says
there's a couple questions.
00:44:01.40\00:44:05.37
Here is the greatest need
now and Zambia. That's the first
00:44:05.37\00:44:11.78
question. >> There needs all
over the Each one is unique and
I think God puts different burns
00:44:11.78\00:44:16.79
on different people's hearts.
And, you know, this is kind of
the biggest operation child
00:44:16.79\00:44:21.62
rescue need at this point
because we've built a dorm. It's
under construction right
00:44:21.62\00:44:23.73
now. And we have a mission trip
going there this summer with
very limited Someone's
00:44:23.73\00:44:29.86
hearing this. And they're just
like I've got to see it out to
us. We've got a few spaces
00:44:29.86\00:44:35.10
available. We're going to try to
paint this dorm kind of finish
it up. But get to meet
00:44:35.10\00:44:39.01
the kids and go on a mission
trip with child impact. We've
got to fill that dorm up with
00:44:39.01\00:44:45.28
these girls and it's a large
expense because they're coming
from nothing. And, you know,
00:44:45.28\00:44:48.88
it's actually shared from the
community there. Another person
I think you took your
00:44:48.88\00:44:55.29
spot was just in our office and
she's working as a student
missionary. She said these
00:44:55.29\00:44:59.76
kids are starving in the local
community. And I said, what do
you mean starting like if I
00:44:59.76\00:45:03.93
wait to 1 o'clock to launch, you
know, I'm starving. He said, I
mean, they're eating
00:45:03.93\00:45:09.64
one meal every other every other
And she said that's what I mean
by starving. And so
00:45:09.64\00:45:15.71
when these kids go to Riverside,
it's like they've won the
lottery really because
00:45:15.71\00:45:18.78
of the program that they got, as
you know, put together with the
leadership and place
00:45:18.78\00:45:25.92
there. So we really have a
burden to fill this dormant with
these girls. And that is
00:45:25.92\00:45:30.19
a huge pressing need for us at
this time to make sure that when
school starts, we can
00:45:30.19\00:45:34.10
feel that with more rescue
girls. >> This one has to do
00:45:34.10\00:45:38.53
with Ethiopia Fire to sponsor
child and Ethiopia with the
child be one of the 600 in the
00:45:38.53\00:45:44.61
orphanage who for. He has taken
in more than he can handle.
00:45:44.61\00:45:48.41
>> Yes, all that. That's our
only project. And the opiate is
the 2 his 2 locations and
00:45:48.41\00:45:53.31
600 children. We want to we have
a plan already to sponsor over
100 of them. But even
00:45:53.31\00:45:59.32
Jason, they were talking and
saying there because he has no
resources and no support of
00:45:59.32\00:46:03.83
virtually we'd love to get as
many of those kids and that
school-sponsored as possible.
00:46:03.83\00:46:08.10
So it's a matter of processing
the applications in the photos
and we have quite a high touch
00:46:08.10\00:46:15.14
interaction with the with them
in the child is possible. And so
there's involvement of our
00:46:15.14\00:46:19.04
team to do that. But we do want
to do more feel PIA, to help
00:46:19.04\00:46:23.14
help him with that project for
sure. I think when it comes back
here, you know, that will be
00:46:23.14\00:46:28.48
October. Yeah, that will be
an amazing opportunity. >> Last
00:46:28.48\00:46:30.92
question, are the schools
boarding schools? And if so,
which ones are boarding schools?
00:46:30.92\00:46:35.69
I know we talked about Riverside
trying to make that dormitory,
but any other projects like
00:46:35.69\00:46:40.23
that? Yes, we have both kinds of
schools and our sponsorship
program. A day student. You can
00:46:40.23\00:46:44.60
sponsor for $32 a month. A
boarding student is $45 a month.
And so we have both and it just
00:46:44.60\00:46:48.87
varies by location. makes
perfect sense. Yes, I will say
we don't have any kids from
00:46:48.87\00:46:56.01
Ethiopia right now. They've all
been sponsored on the website. I
00:46:56.01\00:47:01.52
just got more profiles and
yesterday and will be putting
those up on the Web site this
00:47:01.52\00:47:04.72
next coming week, OK? So we can
make a waiting list to call back
if somebody really wants
00:47:04.72\00:47:10.69
>> How biggest child impact like
how many employees are there?
00:47:10.69\00:47:14.83
>> So there's been 8 in the
office and we have a couple that
are overseas. So yeah, we
00:47:14.83\00:47:21.10
do through partnership,
sponsorship is very intensive in
terms of the work that's
00:47:21.10\00:47:27.04
involved. And so that's if we
were doing sponsorship, we could
do with a lot But it's
00:47:27.04\00:47:32.75
it's a meaningful process that
really makes all the difference
00:47:32.75\00:47:37.25
for these kids to be able to be
in the sponsorship program. So
it's important to run that and
00:47:37.25\00:47:41.19
it takes quite few people
to make that happen. >> Yeah,
00:47:41.19\00:47:45.33
absolutely. Who sending you
these names then like on
location who sent Here's more
00:47:45.33\00:47:49.20
kids. So we are partners in the
country >> so we different
organizations that we work
00:47:49.20\00:47:56.24
with the NGO that we've set up
in the country. It can be a
church office and Bangladesh.
00:47:56.24\00:48:02.24
There's actually under the
union. There's a sponsorship
kind of department like
00:48:02.24\00:48:06.28
Women's Ministries Men's
Ministries. There's a
sponsorship department. So we
00:48:06.28\00:48:08.82
work through them in Bangladesh
and then in the African
00:48:08.82\00:48:13.12
countries, we work directly with
the school. And so I say, hey,
we'll take 100 kids from you.
00:48:13.12\00:48:19.19
And so then they'll send me all
the profiles and we'll get them
uploaded on the website.
00:48:19.19\00:48:23.03
>> As an example, the difference
it makes is one of our schools
00:48:23.03\00:48:25.67
and and Tanzania called tween.
>> And they had almost shut
down. I'm just because they
00:48:25.67\00:48:32.44
didn't have resources have been
going for a couple decades we
came in and said we
00:48:32.44\00:48:37.41
can sponsor some of these kids
and I have kind of a family
history with the missionary
00:48:37.41\00:48:42.98
from that particular locations
to come to my home. And my dad
would make donations to their
00:48:42.98\00:48:49.89
projects. There and then he'd go
around to help her find in the
area while over grew up.
00:48:49.89\00:48:57.77
But we came in and began
sponsoring a kids and we will be
traveling there to help
00:48:57.77\00:49:01.14
them. They have some needs with
infrastructure and so on as
well. So we want to assess
00:49:01.14\00:49:05.64
what what best we can do to
support them. But it brings
stability to the schools into
00:49:05.64\00:49:12.71
these projects because they know
every month the sponsors giving
a donation and that
00:49:12.71\00:49:15.45
enables these kids to go to
school if consistent funding. >>
Yes. Back to you. Talk
00:49:15.45\00:49:19.75
about it. Being a high touch
program as far as the
sponsorship. So say sponsor,
00:49:19.75\00:49:23.96
someone what did. But and when
you sponsor, you can communicate
00:49:23.96\00:49:30.70
with the child you can. How does
that work out of the letters go
back and forth are the gifts.
00:49:30.70\00:49:34.47
How does that work? >> We both
matter child so it can really be
00:49:34.47\00:49:38.67
high to to their high fives and
all that fun stuff. But overseas
so maybe want to share. So when
00:49:38.67\00:49:43.38
you sign up, you get a picture
of your child. You get a letter
from your child you have the
00:49:43.38\00:49:49.92
opportunity to write back to
them. So letter would come to
us. We can scan and send it
00:49:49.92\00:49:54.36
directly to our field partner
and they can get it to the
child. So it will be actually
00:49:54.36\00:49:58.36
your letter. It's not, you know,
some made up thing. And during
Christmas, like I said,
00:49:58.36\00:50:03.43
we have a special gift fund
for every kid in our sponsorship
00:50:03.43\00:50:07.64
program. So you get a picture of
your kid with the gift, the
right, your Christmas letter at
00:50:07.64\00:50:12.41
that time and then you get to
see great. they will actually
send us directly from the
00:50:12.41\00:50:17.65
school, their progress report.
And then you get to see that
that they're actually in school.
00:50:17.65\00:50:21.05
They're making good grades. We
have someone check on them twice
00:50:21.05\00:50:25.05
a year when school starts, we
make sure that they came back to
school. They're still in the
00:50:25.05\00:50:27.79
sponsorship program. And then
once throughout the year to make
sure the kind of like second
00:50:27.79\00:50:31.19
semester that they're still
going to school. And so there's
lots of opportunities
00:50:31.19\00:50:35.53
to interact with them. And then
at the beginning of every school
year, we take a new
00:50:35.53\00:50:37.97
picture of the child. So you can
see kind of their growth and
development along the way.
00:50:37.97\00:50:43.47
And you can see, yeah, this is a
real kid who I'm making a
difference in their life.
00:50:43.47\00:50:50.58
That's beautiful. >> The I think
we might have time if we do
00:50:50.58\00:50:53.35
quickly, one more project about
Kenya, what's happening in
Kenya? >> For that one. So we
00:50:53.35\00:51:00.96
have 2 projects we have a school
that was foster kids at called
Kingsway. And we've got about
00:51:00.96\00:51:05.09
50 kids. We sponsor from
Kingsway. But the really
interesting kind of operation
00:51:05.09\00:51:10.03
Child Rescue Project is one that
is Ron phenomenally by partner.
We have there. She's
00:51:10.03\00:51:16.00
been doing this for a long time.
She grew up as a as a missionary
00:51:16.00\00:51:21.84
child in Kenya and this
addresses the issue of what's
called FGM or female genital
00:51:21.84\00:51:25.55
mutilation. This is a problem in
Kenya. And they work with social
services to identify children
00:51:25.55\00:51:34.39
where there's been a court where
this is. It's not legal there,
but it's still happening that
00:51:34.39\00:51:39.09
kind of out in the Bush and and
then social services were for
these girls to this home
00:51:39.09\00:51:42.40
where they can grow up and a
very safe environment. And so we
support that safe house
00:51:42.40\00:51:47.50
there in Kenya. So it's really a
heavy but they've created this
away sis in Kenya are
00:51:47.50\00:51:56.91
doing just a phenomenal job
caring for the girl. So who's
been subjected to this social
00:51:56.91\00:52:03.02
workers. Counselors. There's a
lot of involvement there to give
00:52:03.02\00:52:08.06
them the necessary support
systems. >> To heal. So they're
on the website to they can be
00:52:08.06\00:52:09.99
sponsored or is this? >> It's an
operation Child Rescue Project.
00:52:09.99\00:52:14.46
Yeah, but we there's not that we
don't have a school attached to
that project. Okay.
00:52:14.46\00:52:18.97
>> But you can go say you go to
website, child Impact Dot or her
child impact Org. If
00:52:18.97\00:52:23.87
you go to that website, could
could you say yes, I'm one of
some just support the project
00:52:23.87\00:52:27.48
in Kenya like sponsoring a
child. You know, we have the
umbrella of Operation Child
00:52:27.48\00:52:31.18
Rescue covers all the projects
we've talked. >> The And so
00:52:31.18\00:52:34.88
that's very the most effective
way to do that because we're
adding new projects as we go
00:52:34.88\00:52:39.42
along. In fact, we met with the
donor today that had a passion
for the project in Colombia. But
00:52:39.42\00:52:44.46
he said he's happy for the funds
he gave to support related to
00:52:44.46\00:52:50.30
Operation Child Rescue Man.
Yeah. >> We're almost at the end
of the 2 hours. I can't believe
00:52:50.30\00:52:56.47
how lead those. Let's just go
around the circle and we'll get
some closing thoughts.
00:52:56.47\00:52:59.14
This whatever's on your heart.
share Comey about one of the
projects are about something
00:52:59.14\00:53:03.45
out, Sanjay, so we'll start with
you in to score on, sir. Yes, I
00:53:03.45\00:53:08.12
was >> and I feel like you kind
of alluded to this earlier issue
with, you know, there's
00:53:08.12\00:53:12.32
50 million children and adults
in modern day slavery, the
numbers. So here's what can I
00:53:12.32\00:53:17.46
do? But if you can get involved
in the life of one person. That
00:53:17.46\00:53:22.80
person's whole life will be
changed forever to free that
person from slavery. And so what
00:53:22.80\00:53:27.54
is the one thing, you know, that
that people can do to get
involved? I think there some
00:53:27.54\00:53:31.01
some ways you can get involved,
their child impact. You know,
financially you can go on a
00:53:31.01\00:53:35.94
mission trip. But there are
other ways in our daily life
where you can get involved in.
00:53:35.94\00:53:39.61
One of those is. Do you know
where your clothes are made? You
know where your food came
00:53:39.61\00:53:46.39
from? Buying fairtrade looking
for ethically sourced goods for
your home. That's that's
00:53:46.39\00:53:51.16
one way that with your
purchasing power, you're making
a decision on where
00:53:51.16\00:53:56.63
you're getting things. Yes, the
second thing is I met with a
police officer once who
00:53:56.63\00:54:01.40
operate a safe home for girls.
And she said these girls see the
lifestyle of people in the
00:54:01.40\00:54:06.64
west on social media and for a
14, 15 year-old girl who wants
that lifestyle. The only way
00:54:06.64\00:54:11.98
that she knows how to get that
kind of money as a child is to
sell herself. either this kind
00:54:11.98\00:54:18.39
of thought and I want to leave
with people is what is the
lifestyle that were portraying
00:54:18.39\00:54:22.96
2 others that maybe are even in
other countries and seeing that.
And it's not most of the
00:54:22.96\00:54:25.99
times I've been real, but it's
causing them to maybe causing
and the right word. But
00:54:25.99\00:54:32.13
they're seeing that and they're
making very poor decisions
trying to get things
00:54:32.13\00:54:34.70
that were portraying that we
have here. It's negatively
affecting their lives. So
00:54:34.70\00:54:39.24
think about those type of
decisions that you make on a
daily basis. This really
00:54:39.24\00:54:42.08
powerful. Yeah. After time, I
believe are placed in this world
to make a difference.
00:54:42.08\00:54:46.35
And I want to be all in. >> In
making that difference. And I I
00:54:46.35\00:54:51.22
see that when one child is
helped, that there's a ripple
impact of their nuclear family
00:54:51.22\00:54:59.46
relatives, even the community, I
think of the impact of one
particular gentleman runs one of
00:54:59.46\00:55:04.80
our tween that I mention. His
name is Melissa and he's the
executive secretary for the
00:55:04.80\00:55:10.47
division in Africa as a child.
He was taken to the home of
missionaries who raised him
00:55:10.47\00:55:17.18
and gave him a vision for
something bigger for his life.
And now he's committed even in
00:55:17.18\00:55:21.05
that busy role that he's in,
he's committed to continue that
legacy of this school.
00:55:21.05\00:55:26.45
And then were, you know, there's
a lot your child marriage things
00:55:26.45\00:55:31.23
kind of things are happening.
There are a lot of poverty and
he stayed engaged with that
00:55:31.23\00:55:35.03
because his life was changed.
Tion because somebody said I
will make a difference for that
00:55:35.03\00:55:40.87
one. And so I think really what
we're saying is that you can
make a difference for one, but
00:55:40.87\00:55:44.57
you don't know how big that
impact really might be. That's
00:55:44.57\00:55:48.94
powerful. Ashley. >> A few
seconds. Yeah. I think I would
just say from personal
00:55:48.94\00:55:51.48
experience, if you feel like God
is calling you to work directly
ministry or to work, maybe by
00:55:51.48\00:55:56.85
sponsoring a child any certain
way. Ministry do it. Don't
ignore it. Do if all goes
00:55:56.85\00:56:05.06
calling. And a man. Thank you
all so much for being here.
Jason and Doctor Tom and Ashley.
00:56:05.06\00:56:09.23
>> We believe in the Ministry
of Child Impact in super excited
00:56:09.23\00:56:12.87
about how you are pushing back
the darkness and helping Reese.
You have a closing thought or so
00:56:12.87\00:56:17.64
in your heart. I was just
thinking about Isaiah 58 and the
promise is that when we do
00:56:17.64\00:56:22.41
liberate the captives well, it's
going to be like a well of water
00:56:22.41\00:56:28.22
springing up God's going to
bless us. If we give, he's going
to keep giving to us so that we
00:56:28.22\00:56:32.12
can keep, you know, helping with
the problem and Christianity
isn't practical as worthless
00:56:32.12\00:56:37.36
right? So that's what Isaiah 58
was just communicating to me
right now. Just like no, do
00:56:37.36\00:56:40.83
this. And God's going to bless
you. I and that's powerful.
Thank you for being here tonight
00:56:40.83\00:56:48.54
and he's got to flout early
tomorrow morning. So pray for
the afternoon as they head
00:56:48.54\00:56:51.81
back Thank you for being here.
>> And thank you for being
intentional about reaching out
00:56:51.81\00:56:58.05
and be in the hands and feet of
Jesus. Whatever God calls you to
do in your neighborhood
00:56:58.05\00:57:02.82
with your family and your
community, get out and do that.
