GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE THIS 08:43 EVENING. >> THANK YOU. 08:44 >> JUST TO GIVE OUR VIEWERS AND LISTENERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET 08:48 TO KNOW YOU BETTER. LET US KNOW WHAT YOU DO AND 08:51 WHERE YOU ARE FROM, AND KIND OF LET THE PEOPLE KNOW A LITTLE BIT 08:54 ABOUT YOU. >> THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF 08:57 COUNTRY IN ME. AS YOU CAN SEE, I'M JUST A 09:00 COMMON EVERY DAY JOB. BUT I HAPPEN TO HAVE A VERY 09:03 IMPORTANT JOB. I WORK FOR JESUS. 09:07 REALLY I'M THE PASTOR'S PASTOR, BECAUSE WE WORK TOGETHER WITH 09:11 ALL OF THE PASTORS. IT'S -- IT'S AN EXCITING 09:16 OPPORTUNITY, AS WE -- AS WE HAE EMBARKED ON THIS PROCESS HERE, 09:21 WE HAVE SEEN SOME REAL GROWTH IN OUR PASTORAL FIELD AND OUR 09:28 CHURCHES. >> PRAISE THE LORD. 09:29 AND WELCOME BACK. >> THANK YOU. 09:31 THANK YOU. >> AND PASTOR ANTHONY. 09:34 >> YEAH, I PASTOR A THREE-CHURCH DISTRICT WITH AN ELEMENTARY 09:39 SCHOOL, WHICH ALWAYS MAKES THINGS EXCITING. 09:42 I LOVE GOING TO SCHOOL. IN FACT OUR SCHOOLS GIVE HUGS, 09:47 ESPECIALLY OUR LITTLE ONES. I HAVE BEEN IN PASTORAL MINISTRY 09:51 FOR OVER 20 YEARS, AND HAVE BEEN IN PENNSYLVANIA FOR ABOUT SIX. 09:55 SO IT'S SORT OF A NEW FIELD, WAS IN FLORIDA FOR ABOUT TEN, AND 10:00 THEN CAME OUT TO PENNSYLVANIA, AND HAVE REALLY BEEN ENJOYING 10:05 IT, AND DRASER WEATHER CHANGE, BUT HAVE BEEN ENJOYING IT. 10:09 >> I WOULD SAY SO. NOW WITH THE WEATHER WE HAVE 10:12 NOW, IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING IS NICE. 10:16 I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CALL IT GLOBAL WARMING, OR SPIRITUAL 10:20 WARMING, BUT PRAISE GOD FOR THE GOOD WEATHER WE HAVE HAD. 10:24 >> AND PASTOR PEPPER? >> YES. 10:27 I HAVE WORKED FOR THE CHURCH FOR 33 YEARS NOW. 10:30 17 OF THOSE YEARS, I STARTED AS A EVANGELIST, AND THEN WENT TO 10:39 THE BINDERY, AND NOW, SINCE MAY, I HAVE BEEN A PASTOR IN THE 10:45 PENNSYLVANIA CONFERENCE AT PITTSBURGH AND NEW BRIGHTON, AND 10:48 HAVING A GREAT TIME. >> THAT IS GOOD. 10:51 AND THE PROGRAM THAT YOU ALL ARE HERE TO TALK ABOUT, AND I'LL BE 10:55 HERE WITH PASTOR BAILEY, IS FAITH FOR FAMILY. 10:58 I HEARD ABOUT IT. I GOT A WONDERFUL OUTLINE, AND 11:03 THOUGHT, WOW, IS THIS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE IN OTHER 11:07 CONFERENCES, OTHER FIELDS? NOT JUST IN THE UNITED STATES 11:09 BUT AROUND THE WORLD. >> GIVE US AN OVERVIEW OF THE 11:14 FAITH FOR FAMILY INITIATIVE? >> ABSOLUTELY. 11:16 I HAVE PREACHED IN COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD. 11:20 I HAD THREE, FOUR, 5,000 BAPTISMS IN INDIA, HELD MEETINGS 11:28 ALL THROUGH THE UNITED STATES. HERE IN THE UNITED STATES WE 11:32 MISSED OUT ON SOMETHING. WE GONE TO THIS THING WHERE WE 11:37 THINK IF WE SEND OUT A HANDBILL OR A BROCHURE, WE THINK PEOPLE 11:43 WILL COME. I REMEMBER HEARING YEAH, BUT 11:47 THEY HAVE SO MANY BAPTISMS OVERSEAS. 11:52 AND IN THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES, AND RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA, I 11:55 WANT TO TELL YOU THAT THERE'S NOT A MAGIC BULLET. 12:00 THERE'S NOT SOME PROGRAM OR EVENT, BUT GOOD OLD FASHIONED 12:04 GOSPEL PRESENTATION. BIBLE STUDY, PRAYER MINISTRY. 12:08 DEDICATION AND HARD WORK, BUT THE KEY IS THAT 40 OR 50 PASTORS 12:13 IS NOT THE ANSWER. TOTAL MEMBER INVOLVEMENT IS THE 12:17 ANSWER. >> WOW. 12:18 >> SO THIS FAITH FOR FAMILY INITIATIVE IS ALL OF THAT, A 12:22 TOTAL MEMBER INVOLVEMENT WITH STRONG LEADERSHIP, STRONG 12:25 ORGANIZATION, AND WE'RE SEEING APOSTOLIC TYPE OF GROWTH AS A 12:32 RESULT. >> WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT TOTAL 12:34 MEMBERSHIP INVOLVEMENT, THAT'S REALLY THE MODEL THAT THE LORD 12:37 GAVE. WE TALK ABOUT SAVED BY GRACE 12:40 THROUGH FAITH. IT'S A GIFT OF GOD NOT OF WORKS. 12:46 AND PEOPLE OFTEN THINK THAT MEANS I DON'T HAVE TO DO ANY 12:49 WORK. BUT WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP 12:58 CREATED IN CHRIST FOR JESUS. >> ABSOLUTELY. 12:59 EACH OF OUR CHURCHES WHO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THIS PROCESS 13:02 OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS SINCE WE HAVE BEEN DOING IT, THEY FILL 13:07 OUT A COVENANT CONTRACT. AND THE FOUNDATION IS THAT THEY 13:12 WILL PRAISE THE CHURCH, THEY WILL WORK AS A CHURCH, AND 13:16 FOLLOW UP AS A CHURCH. SO WE HAVE ALMOST EVERY SINGLE 13:21 PERSON INVOLVED. SOMEONE SAYS I CAN'T DO SOME OF 13:24 THESE THINS, I'M TOO OLD. IF YOU HAVE BREATH, YOU CAN BE 13:30 INVOLVED IN PRAYER. YOU CAN PETITION YOUR HOLY 13:33 FATHER FOR SUCCESS. I BELIEVE THE FOUNDATION OF 13:36 SUCCESS HAS BEEN PRAYER THEN WORK. 13:38 AND HUMAN EFFORT WITH DIVINE POWERS THE SECRET OF ALL SUCCESS 13:45 WE'RE TOLD BY ELLEN WHITE, TALKING ABOUT JOSHUA AS HE WAS 13:50 GOING FORWARD, SO WE'RE TRYING TO MODEL THAT. 13:53 WE HAVE 11,500 MEMBERS, IF WE HAVE 11,500 PEOPLE 14:00 PARTICIPATING, WE'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF GROWTH. 14:02 >> THAT'S A NOT OF MISSIONARIES. >> IT IS. 14:05 >> IF THE LORD CAN DO WITH THE DISCIPLES WHAT HE DID ON THE DAY 14:10 OF PENTECOST, WHAT WOULD HE DO WITH 11,000 DISCIPLES, 11,000 14:19 EVANGELISTS, 11,000, IF WE COULD SAY, BOOTS ON THE GROUND. 14:22 TALK ABOUT THAT PASTOR ANTHONY. >> WELL, JUST A LITTLE CLIP, TIM 14:26 HAS BEEN GOING AROUND TO EACH ONE OF THE DISTRICTS AND HAS 14:29 BEEN PROMOTING FOR THIS UP COMING YEAR, AND IT JUST HAPPENS 14:33 TO BE THAT IT'S IN CENTRAL, WHICH IS PART OF THE REGION THAT 14:36 I HELP WITH, AND JUST THE STORY YOU JUST TOLD ABOUT ACTS, AFTER 14:42 TIM ON A SUNDAY, WE HAD A NICE BRUNCH FOR EVERYBODY, AND HAD 14:47 SEVERAL CHURCH MEMBERS COME OUT, AND THEY WERE ON FIRE READY TO 14:51 SIGN THE CONTRACT THERE, AND EVERYTHING. 14:53 AND THE NEXT MORNING MONDAY MORNING, I DID ACTS CHAPTER 1 14:59 AND 2 FOR OUR KIDS AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, AND TO SEE 15:06 THEIR EYES LIGHT UP, AS WE BEGAN TO PRAY TOGETHER, AS WE CONFESS 15:11 OUR SINS TO EACH OTHER, AS WE TRULY REPENT AND CHANGE THOSE 15:17 THINGS, AND HOW THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME OVER GOD'S PEOPLE IN ACTS 15:24 2, AND 3,000 PEOPLE WERE ONE IN ONE DAY. 15:27 AND I LOOKED AT THESE LITTLE KIDS, AND I SAID IF WE PUT ALL 15:32 OF THE CHURCHES TOGETHER, IT'S STILL NOT 3,000 PEOPLE. 15:36 GOD COULD DO THIS IN OUR CITY. AND THEIR EYES JUST LIT UP. 15:42 SO AS TIM SAID, THERE IS NO REASON ANYBODY CANNOT BE 15:46 INVOLVED IN THIS, INCLUDING KIDS AND EVERYBODY ELSE. 15:50 EVERY MEMBER INVOLVED REGARDLESS OF AGE -- REGARDLESS OF MAYBE A 15:55 DISABILITY, WHATEVER IT IS, GOD HAS A PURPOSE FOR THEM. 15:58 >> THAT'S RIGHT. AND PASTOR STEWART? 16:03 >> THIS INITIATIVE WHEN IT CAME TO YOU, BEING THE WESTERN 16:07 REGIONAL DIRECTOR, HOW DID YOU EMBRACE IT? 16:10 BECAUSE I WOULD SAY PASTOR BAILEY PUT HIMSELF ON THE LINE. 16:14 AS MINISTERIAL DIRECTOR YOU COME UP WITH THE INITIATIVES AND 16:18 THINK WHAT CAN WE DO TO CAUSE THE CHURCH TO GROW, BUT TELL US 16:22 ABOUT THE IMPACT IN YOUR REGION? >> THEY HIRED ME AS A PASTOR 16:26 JUST LAST MAY IN THE PITTSBURGH DISTRICT, AND WHEN CAME IN, THEY 16:30 TOLD ME, OH, BY THE WAY, YOU ARE ALSO REGIONAL DIRECTOR FOR FAITH 16:36 FOR FAMILY, SO FIRST THERE WAS A LOT OF CATCHING UP TO DO, BUT AS 16:40 WE GOT INVOLVED, JUST WATCH THIS THING GROW ON PEOPLE, IT TURNS 16:47 INTO SOMETHING THAT IS BIGGER THAN WHAT YOU INITIALLY 16:51 EXPECTED, BECAUSE YOU START HAVING RESULTS IN AREAS THAT YOU 16:54 NEVER INTENDED TO HAVE RESULTS. >> SO THERE WAS A GENERAL 16:58 STIRRING UP, IN OTHER WORDS A WAKING UP OF THE MEMBERSHIP? 17:02 >> OH, ABSOLUTELY. IN WESTERN PA, WE HAVE ABOUT 17:08 1300 MEMBERS, AND ONLY ABOUT 538 ATTENDS. 17:14 BUT TAKE ONE LITTLE CHURCH FOR EXAMPLE. 17:15 ONE OF OUR PASTORS SAID, WELL, I DON'T THINK OUR CHURCH MEMBERS 17:19 ARE GETTING INVOLVED. WE HAVEN'T HAD PRAYER MEETING IN 17:23 TEN YEARS. I HAVE TRIED TO DO THIS, IT JUST 17:26 DOESN'T WORK. I'LL GET TWO OR THREE AND THEN 17:29 IT DROPS OFF. THERE IS NOBODY THAT HAS ANY 17:32 MONEY. IT IS JUST NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. 17:35 WE KNEW A LADY JUST SOLD SOME PROPERTY, AND WE THOUGHT, LET'S 17:39 GIVE IT A CHANCE. AND WITHIN 5 MINUTES, SHE GAVE A 17:46 $25,000 CHECK, AND SHE SAID I WANT TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE 17:50 TALKING ABOUT HAPPEN IN OUR CHURCH. 17:52 AND SO WE BEGAN TO DO THE PROCESS. 17:57 WE START PRAYER MEETING SERIES IN THAT CHURCH, AND TODAY THEY 18:01 HAVE ABOUT 30 PEOPLE ATTENDING EACH -- EACH WEDNESDAY NIGHT, 18:05 AND THEY ONLY HAD ABOUT 25 PEOPLE ATTENDING BEFORE THIS 18:09 PROCESS ON SABBATH ALONE, SO NOW THEY HAVE A CONTINUING PRAYER 18:13 MEETING GOING, THERE IS A CYCLE OF EVANGELISM, IT'S REALLY 18:19 MIRACULOUS WHEN WE GO FROM ALMOST NOTHING TO VIBRANCY. 18:23 THAT SAME CHURCH HAD ONE CHILD IN IT, NOW THEY HAVE 12. 18:26 AND WE'RE ONLY TALKING FIVE MONTHS LATER. 18:29 THEY HAVE GONE FROM 25 TO 50. THEY HAVE ACTIVITY GOING. 18:34 THERE'S EXCITEMENT, AND THEY CAN'T WAIT TO CONTINUE THIS 18:37 CYCLE OF EVANGELISM, SO THEY CAN CONTINUE TO GROW AND PROCLAIM 18:42 THE GOSPEL FOR JESUS. >> SO EVANGELISM IS NOT SINGLE 18:49 EVENT, BUT A COMPLETE EXPERIENCE. 18:51 >> NO THERE HAS TO BE TOTAL MEMBER INVOLVEMENT. 18:54 WHERE THEY ARE GOING OUT -- WE HAVE THE TRANSITIONAL COOKING 19:01 SCHOOLS. WE'RE TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE FIND 19:04 JESUS THROUGH THE GOSPEL IN HEALTH AND EVERYTHING. 19:09 EVERY TRANSITIONAL EVENT HAS A PURPOSE. 19:11 AND THAT'S TO LEAD WITH THE TO JESUS CHRIST. 19:14 >> SO WHAT YOU DO IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS AN END IN AND 19:18 OF ITSELF, BUT ALWAYS HAS A PURPOSE. 19:21 >> ABSOLUTELY. >> WE'RE NOT JUST SAYING, YOU 19:25 WANT TO BE A GOOD VEGETARIAN, YOU WANT BE A HEALTHY PERSON, 19:30 THAT COOKING CLASS HAS A PURPOSE AHEAD OF IT. 19:35 >> YEAH. WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE RESULTS 19:37 COMING FROM IT, IN MY DISTRICT, WHEN WE WENT OUT WEST, WE HAD 19:42 ACTUALLY FINANCIALLY JUST PURCHASED A BUS, AND -- AND 19:45 LOADED THAT BUS UP, AND FOR FOLKS FROM MY DISTRICT AND 19:50 FURTHER OUT, EVEN IN EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, ALL DROVE, SOME 19:56 FIVE, SIX HOURS TO GET OUT TO WESTERN PA, SO WE'RE HAVING BUS 20:01 LOADS OF PEOPLE COMING OUT, AND THE INITIATIVE OF PEOPLE COMING 20:04 OUT, KNOCKING ON DOORS AT A CHURCH THAT MAYBE HAD IN 20:11 ATTENDANCE SIX PEOPLE. AND BROTHERS AND SISTERS THERE 20:15 CHRIST, WERE COMING TO SAY YOU ARE NOT STANDING ALONE. 20:19 YOU HAVE A WHOLE FAMILY THAT IS HERE WITH YOU. 20:22 AND WHAT THAT DID FOR THEM OUT WEST WAS JUST AMAZING, THE 20:26 RESULTS THAT CAME FROM THAT. JUST THE THOUGHT PROCESS THAT 20:29 YOU KNOW WHAT, I KNOW THE CONFERENCE IS WAY OVER THERE, 20:33 BUT PEOPLE CARE ABOUT ME OVER HERE. 20:35 >> CAN YOU IMAGINE THE EXCITEMENT FROM A LITTLE CHURCH 20:40 OF SIX TO TEN PEOPLE, AND 80, 90, 120 PEOPLE COME FROM EASTERN 20:47 AND CENTRAL PA -- >> HOURS AWAY. 20:49 >> HOURS AWAY. AND SOME LEAVE AT 5:00 IN THE 20:54 MORNING. AND THERE ARE ONLY 538 PEOPLE 20:57 ATTENDING IN THIS REGION, BUT 1,340 MISSIONARIES FROM ALL 21:04 PENNS PENNSYLVANIA CAME TO HELP OUR 21:09 BROTHERS AND SISTERS. >> IN THAT SIX-MEMBER CHURCH. 21:13 >> IN THAT SIX-MEMBER CHURCH. AND WHEN YOU HAVE ALL OF THESE 21:21 PEOPLE COMING, SAYING WE'RE GOING TO HELP YOU. 21:26 THERE WERE TEARS OF JOY. AND THE MEMBERS OF THOSE 21:31 CHURCHES MADE COMMENTS LIKE, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS. 21:34 WE ARE REALLY LOVED, AND THE GOSPEL WILL BE PROCLAIMED, AND 21:38 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS HELP. IT IS PHENOMENAL WHEN YOU FEEL 21:46 SUPPORTED. THESE MEMBERS ARE DOING MORE NOW 21:49 THAN THEY HAVE EVER DONE BEFORE. >> WOULD YOU SAY THEY ARE 21:52 FINDING THEIR WORTH? >> I REMEMBER A STORY JUST TO GO 21:56 WITH THIS -- >> THAT IS PHENOMENAL. 21:58 >> I PASTOR THE PITTSBURGH CHURCH, AND LILLIAN TORRES, ONE 22:02 OF THE LADIES THAT HELPED OUT BEHIND THE SCENES, SHE CALLED ME 22:09 UP AND SAID I HAVE 50 MORE. CAN YOU HANDLE THEM? 22:12 THERE HAS TO BE MORE FOOD, AND THEN SHE CALLED ME AGAIN AND 22:17 SAID THERE IS GOING TO BE EVEN MORE. 22:20 CAN YOU HANDLE THEM. SO I JUST SENT OUT THE WORD TO 22:24 MY CHURCH. NEXT THING I KNOW, THEY ARE 22:28 SETTING UP THIS HUGE TENT OUTSIDE OF THE CHURCH TO HANDLE 22:32 ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT WERE HELPING US. 22:35 MORE FOOD CAME IN. THE TENT WENT UP, AND THEY JUST 22:39 SAW THE NEED AND DID IT THEMSELVES. 22:43 IT WAS TERRIFIC. >> THERE WAS NO FAILURE HERE, 22:46 BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENED -- WHEN YOU TOLD ME ABOUT THESE THOUSAND 22:50 PEOPLE, I'M THINKING YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A CAMP MEETING. 22:53 BUT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A THOUSAND-PLUS PEOPLE THAT 22:58 DESCENDED -- >> ONE CHURCH IS ABOUT 130, BUT 23:04 THE OTHER CHURCHES AVERAGE 6 TO 20, THOSE OTHER 22 CHURCHES. 23:12 AND EACH HAD ANYWHERE FROM 50 TO 300 PEOPLE COME TO THEIR CHURCH 23:15 TO HELP THEM. AND BUS LOADS WOULD COME. 23:18 ONE OF OUR CHURCHES RENTED A MEN NANITE BUST BUS. 23:35 AND THEY ALL CAME TO GO OUT. ONE OF OUR MEMBERS WHO CAME FROM 23:41 EASTERN PA, HIS SON HAS COMMITTED SUICIDE A YEAR BEFORE. 23:47 AND HE WAS GRIEVED OVER THIS, OF COURSE, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE. 23:50 ON THAT DAY, THERE WAS AN INDIVIDUAL WALKING DOWN THE 23:53 STREET, THEY KNOCKED ON THE DOOR, AND THERE WAS A YOUNG MAN 23:57 IN THERE READY TO COMMIT SUICIDE. 24:00 THIS GENTLEMEN HAD STOPPED TO PRAY IN MEMORY OF HIS SON, AND 24:04 HE WAS HEART BROKEN OVER THIS, AND THEY CALLED HIM OVER BECAUSE 24:08 HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT IT MEANT TO LOSE A SON, AND HE BEGAN TO TALK 24:13 WITH THIS YOUNG MAN, AND TALKED HIM OUT OF COMMITTING SUICIDE 24:19 THAT DAY. THAT YOUNG MAN INVITED HIS TWO 24:24 BROTHERS AND OUR BIBLE WORKERS ARE STILL GIVING BIBLE STUDY TO 24:28 THEM TODAY. >> LOOK AT THAT. 24:31 AND THAT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN COINCIDENTAL. 24:36 >> CAME FROM EASTERN PA, FIVE HOURS AWAY, RENDEZVOUSED ON THE 24:42 STREET IN WESTERN PA, AND JUST HAPPENED TO BE THERE TO GIVE 24:46 THIS MESSAGE TO THIS YOUNG MAN. THERE IS NO COINCIDENCE 24:55 WHATSOEVER. >> THAT'S GOD LEAD. 24:56 >> YEAH. >> WE ARE JUST SCRATCHING THE 25:00 SURFACE AND I'M EXCITED ABOUT WHAT I'M HEARING ALREADY. 25:04 AND PASTOR STEWART PASTOR BAILEY SAID YOU HAD A STORY. 25:14 >> YES, WE HAD A YOUTH RALLY, AND MANY STUDENT CAME CLEAR TO 25:21 PITTSBURGH TO -- THEY SPENT THE DAY PASSING OUT FLYERS, AND THAT 25:25 EVENING WHEN WE WERE PLAYING VOLLEYBALL AND THERE IS AN 25:29 INITIATIVE IN PITTSBURGH THAT IS GOING ON TO REACH INTO THE INNER 25:33 CITY, TO REACH INTO SOME OF THESE KIDS THAT HAVE DRUG 25:36 PROBLEMS AND PROBLEMS -- THEY JUST HAVEN'T HAD THE 25:40 OPPORTUNITIES THAT MOST PEOPLE HAVE HAD. 25:41 AND ONE OF THOSE GIRLS WAS AT OUR YOUTH RALLY. 25:46 SHE CAME TO THE YOUTH RALLY, MET SOME OF THESE STUDENTS -- 25:50 >> IT WAS ACTUALLY HER FIRST TIME EVER IN A REGULAR 25:56 SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH. >> SO SHE MEETS THESE STUDENTS 26:00 FROM BLUE MOUNTAIN ACADEMY. SHE GETS INTERESTED. 26:02 I WANT TO GO TO THIS SCHOOL. I WANT TO BE AROUND CHRISTIAN 26:06 KIDS THAT ARE MY AGE. HER PASTOR TAKES HER CLEAR 26:13 ACROSS THE STATE TO BLUE MOUNTAIN ACADEMY. 26:15 SHE LOVES IT. SHE WANTS TO GO THERE, BUT 26:18 THERE'S NO MONEY. SO PASTOR KENT TALKS TO THE 26:25 CONFERENCE TREASURER, AND THE TREASURER, SAYS WHERE IS SHE 26:30 FROM? FROM PITTSBURGH. 26:31 IT JUST SO HAPPENED IN THE 1970S, SOMEBODY HAD MADE A 26:35 DONATION TO THE CONFERENCE AS PART OF THEIR WILL, THAT IT WAS 26:40 TO GO -- SPECIFICALLY TO GO FROM A GIRL FROM ALAGENY COUNTY. 26:53 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CONFERENCE SAYS WE HAVE MONEY. 26:56 WE HAVE A DONATION. SHE CAN GO TO SCHOOL. 26:59 I'M TELLING YOU, WHEN EVERYBODY GETS INVOLVED YOU START FINDING 27:05 SUCCESS. GOD IS AMAZING. 27:07 HE WAS PLANNING AHEAD FOR THIS YEARS AGO. 27:09 >> SO THE LORD HAD HER IN MIND, DECLARING THE END FROM THE 27:15 BEGINNING FROM ANCIENT TIMES THINGS NOT YET DONE. 27:19 WE ALSO HAVE A VIDEO ROLE. THIS GIVES US AN EXPLODED VIEW 27:24 OF FAITH FOR FAMILY. >> WE CREATED THIS TO SHOW TO 27:28 OUR CENTRAL REGION SO OUR CHURCHES CAN GET A LITTLE BIT 27:31 MORE EXCITEMENT TO SHOW A LITTLE BIT MORE WHAT HAPPENED IN -WESTERN PA, AND IT GIVES A SHORT 27:38 OVERVIEW, AS YOU SAID. WE CAN GO AHEAD AND SEE THAT 27:41 NOW. >> OKAY. 27:42 LET'S LOOK AT THAT. ♪ 27:59 ♪ >> I ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT JESUS 28:10 IS COMING AGAIN, AND I HOPE YOU DO TOO. 28:13 ALONG WITH OUR WORLD CHURCH HERE IN PENNSYLVANIA, WE'RE 28:16 ENCOURAGING TOTAL MEMBER INVOLVEMENT. 28:20 WHY? BECAUSE WE NEED EVERYBODY 28:22 INVOLVED TO SHARE THE GOOD NEWS, THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. 28:28 THAT'S WHY THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. IT ORGANIZES AND GIVES EVERYBODY 28:33 AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET INVOLVED IN THIS WORLDWIDE MOVEMENT, 28:35 BECAUSE JESUS IS COMING AGAIN. ON OCTOBER 1ST, 2016, 1,340 28:42 MISSIONARIES FROM ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA WENT TO THE WESTERN 28:46 REGION, AND THEY HELPED 22 OF OUR SMALL CHURCHES. 28:50 AS A RESULT, SO FAR, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED 34 BAPTISMS WITH 9 28:57 MORE PREPARES FOR BAPTISM RIGHT NOW. 29:00 66 BIBLE STUDIES -- STUDENTS HAVE ATTENDED CHURCH ONE OR MORE 29:04 TIMES BEYOND THAT, AND THERE IS STILL 351 BIBLE STUDIES TAKING 29:11 PLACE BY OUR MEMBERS OR BY THE WORKERS, STILL FOLLOWING UP. 29:16 ALSO THERE'S A DISCIPLESHIP FOLLOW-UP PROGRAM TAKE PLACE 29:20 THROUGHOUT EACH OF THE CHURCHES, AND WE ARE STILL HOPING AND 29:24 PRAYING FOR AT LEAST 100 BAPTISMS. 29:29 INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH 19-YEAR AVERAGE FOR THE WESTERN CHURCHES 29:33 HAS BEEN ABOUT 30 BAPTSMS PER YEAR. 29:36 THIS LAST QUARTER, THE FOURTH QUARTER, EXPERIENCED MORE THAN 29:39 THAT. BY THE TIME WE GET DONE WITH A 29:42 FULL-YEAR CYCLE, THAT 100 BAPTISM, WE HOPE AND PRAY WILL 29:46 TRULY BE A REALITY. HERE IS ONE EXCITING STORY THAT 29:51 RESULTED FROM LAST YEAR'S FAITH FOR FAMILY. 29:53 >> I WAS AT -- WORKING AT WAL-MART, AND STOCKING SHELVES, 29:59 AND I MET THIS GUY NAMED CHRIS. HE WAS ASKING ME FOR -- IF HE 30:05 WANTED TO TEACH ME ABOUT THE BIBLE, BECAUSE HE GAVE ME HIS 30:09 CARD, AND IF I WOULD LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE SEVENTH-DAY 30:14 ADVENTIST CHURCH WAS ON THE SABBATH ON A SATURDAY, AND HE 30:21 TOLD ME THAT WHAT THE SABBATH MEANT WAS SATURDAY. 30:27 AND THAT'S WHEN I GOT INTERESTED, BECAUSE I WAS 30:29 WONDERING WHAT THAT MEANT IN THE BIBLE ABOUT THE SABBATH, HE MADE 30:35 ME UNDERSTAND MORE OF IT THAN I WOULD EVER HAVE DREAMED OF, AND 30:39 THEN I GOT BAPTIZED. I THINK IT WAS THE BEST THING 30:44 THAT THE CHURCH IS EVER DO FOR PEOPLE IS GIVE THEM HOPE. 30:47 >> YOU JUST HAD A CHANCE TO MEET JOHN WHO HAS COME INTO OUR 30:52 CHURCH AND BECOME A MEMBER OF OUR CHURCH. 30:54 THE CHURCH IS GROWING. YOU KNOW WHEN WE FIRST STARTED 30:58 THIS BACK WHEN FAITH FOR FAMILY CAME ABOUT, WE WEREN'T MOVING 31:02 VERY MUCH, BUT BY THE TIME WE GOT INVOLVED WITH FAITH FOR 31:07 FAMILY, OUR GROUP GREW AND THEY WERE TOGETHER AND THEY ACTUALLY 31:12 STARTED OUT WITH HARDLY ANONE TO -- TO PRAY FOR, BEFORE THEY 31:16 GOT DONE, THEY HAD MORE PEOPLE ON THEIR LIST THAT THEY WERE 31:19 PRAYING BEFORE, BEFORE THE SERIES OF MEETINGS, AND IF YOU 31:23 WOULD COME ON A SABBATH WHEN ALL OF THESE KIDS ARE HERE, WE ARE 31:27 PACKED WITH KIDS ANYMORE. WE DIDN'T HAVE KIDS FOR THE 31:31 LONGEST TIME. AND NOW WE HAVE CHILDREN THAT 31:33 ARE BUBBLES ALL OVER THE PLACE. JOHNSTOWN GOT ON BOARD. 31:39 WE HAVE A SERIES OF MEETINGS DOWN THERE. 31:43 HAD THREE PEOPLE GET BAPTIZED DOWN THERE, AND JOINED THE 31:47 CHURCH. WE ARE WORKING NOW ON A CYCLE OF 31:51 EVANGELISM IN BOTH OF OUR CHURCHES AND MY OTHER CHURCH IS 31:56 NOW STARTING ON BOARD, AND THEY WANT TO DO A SMALL SERIES OF 32:01 MEETINGS TOO. WE ARE ALL EXCITED BECAUSE FAITH 32:04 FOR FAMILY HAS STARTED THIS WHOLE PROGRAM FOR US. 32:07 >> WE HAVE 29 CHURCHES THAT WE HOPE TO BE WORKING WITH, AND 32:11 THAT'S GOING TO BE A CONTINUOUS PROCESS FOR YEARS TO COME. 32:15 THEN WE'LL GO TO NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA, AND START THE 32:19 PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN. PENNSYLVANIA DESPERATELY NEEDS 32:24 100% OF ALL OF ITS MEMBERS TO DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE. 32:27 WE'RE PRAYING THAT WE WILL HAVE TRULY TOTAL MEMBER INVOLVEMENT 32:34 PHYSICALLY, AND SPIRITUALLY IN YEARS TO COME. 32:43 >> AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE IS NOT JUST A GENERAL, BUT A SPECIFIC 32:48 EXCITEMENT, THE STORIES THAT WERE TOLD WERE REVITALIZATION 32:56 STORIES. CHURCHES THAT HAS A WHIMPER OF A 33:00 CANDLE WICK, AND NOW THEY ARE ON FIRE FOR THE LORD. 33:03 >> AMEN. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE EVERY SINGLE 33:07 CHURCH AS ON FIRE, AS MAYBE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL -- 33:11 >> BUT THE FIRE IS SPREADING. >> BUT THE FIRE IS SPREADING. 33:16 AT FIRST 18 DECIDED THEY WERE GOING TO PARTICIPATE, AND AFTER 33:20 WE GOT STARTED, FOUR MORE DECIDED THIS IS TOO GOOD. 33:25 WE WANT TO PARTICIPATE TOO. I'LL TELL YOU HOW MUCH THE FIRE 33:28 IS GROWING. >> OKAY. 33:31 >> FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS OR SO, WE HAVE A LITTLE MINI CAMP 33:35 MEETING IN THAT REGION. WE AVERAGE ABOUT 6 O, 65 COME TO 33:40 CAMP MEETING. THIS YEAR 230 CAME. 33:44 >> WOW. >> THAT IS BECAUSE SOMETHING IS 33:48 CHANGING. PEOPLE ARE SO EXCITED. 33:49 ONE OF OUR CHURCH ELDERS SAID THIS IS THE GREATEST THING THAT 33:53 HAS EVER HAPPENED. I DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT OUR DEAD 33:56 AND DYING CHURCH IS NOW ALIVE AGAIN. 33:58 >> AMEN. >> SO AS LONG AS THERE'S BREATH, 34:02 THERE CAN BE A REVITALIZATION AND A REVIVAL. 34:07 PASTOR ANTHONY, YOU NOW AS A DISTRICT PASTOR, WHEN YOU USE 34:12 THE WORD DISTRICT THAT MEANS YOU HAVE MANY CHURCHES. 34:15 LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW THIS INITIATIVE IMPACTED YOUR 34:18 DISTRICT. >> IT'S ACTUALLY -- WHAT 34:19 HAPPENED IN OUR DISTRICT WITH THIS ONE BECAUSE IT WAS OUT 34:22 WEST, WE ACTUALLY CAME TOGETHER AND MY WHOLE DISTRICT WAS THE 34:26 ONE THAT LOADED UP ON A BUS AND HEADED OUT WEST. 34:28 >> OKAY. >> BUT THE OTHER THING MY 34:32 DISTRICT DID WITH THIS, WAS THEY ALLOWED KNOW GO OUT AND HOLD A 34:35 SET OF MEETINGS OUT WEST, BECAUSE IT WASN'T JUST THE LOCAL 34:40 PASTOR, BUT PASTORS FROM ALL OVER THE CONFERENCE CAME TO THE 34:44 WEST, AND HELD MEETINGS. ONE OF THE INTERESTING STORIES 34:48 WITH THAT IS, IS AS WE WERE SETTING UP, WE HAD A PERSON CALL 34:52 UP AND SAY WHERE THE MEETING WAS. 34:54 AND SHE SAID SHE HAD SEEN US ON 3ABN WHEN WE WERE HERE EARLIER. 34:58 >> OKAY. >> AND SO I WENT TO MEETINGS AND 35:03 EVERYWHERE ELSE. AND SHE WALKS THROUGH THE DOORS, 35:05 AND SHE GOES, HEY, WEREN'T YOU THE ONE ON 3ABN. 35:12 AND JUST AS GOD CONNECTED ALL OF THOSE THINGS THAT THE PERSON 35:15 THAT WAS WATCHING, AND NOW NOT ONLY DID SHE COME TO THE 35:20 MEETINGS, SHE BROUGHT HER HUSBAND TO THE MEETINGS, AND 35:23 ALSO BROUGHT A FRIEND TO MEETINGS, AND I WAS JUST IN 35:30 THE -- CONTACT WITH THE CHURCH, AND THEY ARE ALL STILL ATTENDING 35:35 THE CHURCH, AND SO GOD JUST WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS ALL 35:40 OVER THE PLACE TO PUT THOSE THINGS INTO REAL. 35:45 >> NORMALLY YOU WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THAT FAR OUT? 35:49 >> NO. GOD PUT IT IN PLACE. 35:51 >> REMEMBER THE CHURCH MEMBERS ARE PRAYING NOW. 35:53 THEY ARE ASKING FOR DIVINE APPOINTMENTS TO OCCUR. 35:58 THEY ARE ASKING AND CHALLENGING GOD SPECIFICALLY, WE NEED YOUR 36:02 HELP. SO ALL OF THESE DIVINE 36:04 APPOINTMENTS ARE COMING UP ALL OVER THE PLACE. 36:08 I'LL TELL YOU ABOUT OUR BIBLE WORKERS LATER IN THIS STORY. 36:11 >> SO MY CHURCH WORKERS GO A EVERYTHING ELSE. 36:14 WELL, NOW IT'S COMING TO CENTRAL. 36:17 SO NOW MY CHURCHES ARE FIRED UP ABOUT WHICH CHURCHES ARE GOING 36:21 TO COME HELP US GO DOOR-TO-DOOR, WHICH CHURCH IS GOING TO HELP US 36:26 DO PREMEETING THINGS? SO THEY ARE EXCITED BECAUSE 36:31 WE'RE SEEING IN PENNSYLVANIA IT'S NO LONGER ABOUT MY 36:35 DISTRICT, YOUR DISTRICT, MY REGION, YOUR REGION, WE'RE 36:39 STARTING TO FUNCTION MORE TOGETHER AS AN ENTIRE CONFERENCE 36:43 TO ACCOMPLISH THE MISSION THAT GOD HAS SET US OUT TO DO. 36:46 >> SO IT'S COME OVER AND HELP US. 36:50 >> YES. >> THAT'S KIND OF A CALL THAT WE-HAVE, IS WE NEED YOUR HELP. 36:55 WE WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT 37 PASTORS AND A FEW ADMINISTRATORS 37:01 ARE NOT GOING TO REACH THAT MANY PEOPLE. 37:04 >> NOT AT ALL. >> AS TOOLS IN GOD'S HANDS, WE 37:08 CAN DO A MUCH MIGHTIER WORK TOGETHER THAN WE CAN BY LIFTING 37:13 UP THE CLERGY TO DO ALL OF THAT WORK. 37:17 >> THERE WAS A FAMILY THAT PASTOR PEPPER TALKED ABOUT FROM 37:22 NEW BRIGHTON. >> WHEN YOU COME INTO A DISTRICT 37:25 AND TRY TO SELL THEM ON EVANGELISM, A LOT OF TIMES THEY 37:31 SAY WE TRIED THAT ONE A LONG TIME AGO, AND MY OBSERVATION, 37:37 EVANGELISM, SOMETIMES IS THE ONLY THING THAT ACTUALLY DOES 37:39 WORK. YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE MESSAGE TO 37:41 THE PEOPLE FOR THEM TO SEE WHY IT MATTERS, AND ONE OF THE 37:45 FAMILIES THAT CAME TO OUR MEETINGS, ONE OF OUR OTHER 37:49 MEMBERS KNEW THAT THEY WERE OUT THERE, THAT THEY USED TO COME TO 37:53 CHURCH. ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO THEY 37:56 STOPPED COMING TO CHURCH, STARTED GOING TO A SUNDAY 38:00 CHURCH. AND THIS FAMILY SHOWS UP, AND 38:02 NOW THEY ARE BECOMING A STAPLE. THEY ARE TELLING THE CHILDRENS 38:07 STORIES. THEY ARE THE ONES DOING OUR 38:09 SPECIAL MUSIC, AND IT'S BRIGHT SPOT IN YOUR CHURCH. 38:13 SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON. 38:17 >> SO NOT ONLY DOES IT ATTRACT NEW PEOPLE, BUT SOME THAT HAVE 38:21 STRAYED AWAY AND HAVE BEEN RECONNECTED, AND NOW THIS NEW 38:26 LIFE, THIS NEW POWER, THIS NEW JOY. 38:29 WHEN DAVID PRAYED TO ME, THE JOY OF YOUR SALVATION, IT IS 38:33 SOMETHING YOU ALWAYS SEE IN YOUR CONFERENCE. 38:37 NOW, THIS IS A VERY INTERESTING STORY ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY HERE. 38:41 BECAUSE YOU CAME -- [ LAUGHTER ] 38:42 >> -- FROM ST. LOUIS. WHICH ONE OF YOU WOULD LIKE TO 38:45 LEAD INTO THAT STORY. WHO WAS THE DRIVER? 38:49 PASTOR ANTHONY, TALK ABOUT THAT. >> THANKS GOODNESS IT WAS HIM. 38:53 >> IT WAS INTERESTING. THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE TIME, WE 38:59 HAVE SEEN WHERE THE DEVIL HAS TRIED TO STOP US FROM MOVING 39:04 FORWARD. TESTIMONY, IF YOU NOTICE HIS ARM 39:08 IS IN A LITTLE BIT OF A SPLIT. >> YEAH, HOLD THAT UP FOR OUR 39:12 AUDIENCE TO SEE. THAT'S RIGHT. 39:13 >> YEAH, HIS INITIAL INJURY HAPPENED EARLIER -- WAS IT 39:18 DECEMBER? >> NOVEMBER 22ND. 39:20 >> NOVEMBER. AND FELL DOWN A FLIGHT OF 39:23 STAIRS, COULD HAVE BROKE HIS NECK. 39:25 AND WE JUST SEE ALL OF THESE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING WITHIN 39:28 THOSE THAT ARE IN THE CORE GROUP OF TRYING TO GET THIS STARTED -- 39:33 >> DEMONIC OPPOSITION. >> EXACTLY. 39:35 >> I'M GOING TO TELL THIS PART OF IT, BECAUSE ONE OF OUR 39:39 PASTORS ACTUALLY HAD A DREAM, AND HE SAID, TIM, I HAVE TO TELL 39:44 YOU, THE DEVIL IS ANGRY, BECAUSE WE'RE DOING SO MUCH WITH THIS 39:49 EVANGELISM INITITIVE, AND IT IS CHANGING ALL OF OUR LIVES. 39:53 THE PASTORS LIVES AND THE MEMBERS LIVES. 39:56 AND HE SAID I SAW IN THAT DREAM, THAT THE DEVIL PICKED YOU UP, 40:01 AND THREW YOU AGAINST THE WALL AND TRIED TO DESTROY FAITH FOR 40:05 FAMILY. AND HE HAD THE SAME DREAM TWICE 40:09 THAT NIGHT. HE CALLED ME UP, AND HE SAID I 40:12 HAVE TO TELL YOU BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE DEVIL IS OUT TO GET 40:16 YOU. HE SAID HE THROUGH YOU UP 40:18 AGAINST THE WALL, BUT YOU LIVED, AND WHEN YOU HIT THE FLOOR AND 40:21 GOT UP, YOU SAID, GOD STILL IS AT WORK AND ALIVE, AND FAITH FOR 40:26 FAMILY WILL CONTINUE ON. >> HUM. 40:28 >> AND IT WAS ONE WEEK LATER THAT I FELL DOWN A FLIGHT OF 40:34 STAIRS, BUT I NEVER HIT THE STAIR, I HIT THE WALL, AND THEN 40:39 I HIT THE BOTTOM CONCRETE FLOOR AND BROKE MY WRIST. 40:42 AND I WAS ABLE TO OBVIOUSLY LIVE THROUGH THAT. 40:47 AND SEVERAL THINGS HAVE HAPPENED SINCE, AS WE WERE COMING HERE -- 40:52 >> YEAH, WE GET OFF OF THE AIRPLANE. 40:55 WE GET TO THE RENTAL CAR COMPANY. 40:58 WE GET OUR CAR. WE GET OUT HERE TO 3ABN. 41:02 WE SAID WE ARE DOING GOOD. WE PRAISED GOD FOR LANDING 41:06 SAFELY AND EVERYTHING ELSE. WE'RE ABOUT FIVE MINUTES AWAY 41:09 FROM THE RENTAL PLACE, AND WE'RE GOING DOWN I-74 -- 41:14 >> 64. >> 74. 41:16 >> OKAY. >> AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IN 41:21 FRONT OF US, CARS SLAM ON OUR BRAKES, I SLAM ON THE BRAKES, 41:27 AND WE COME TO A STOP, BUT IT WASN'T SOON ENOUGH. 41:30 AIR BAGS GO OFF IN THE CAR. I SAID I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR 41:35 THAT HAD SO MANY AIR BAGS AS THIS ONE DID. 41:38 THEY HAD THE CURTAINS THAT WENT DOWN THE SIDE. 41:42 ONE BLEW UP DOWN AT MY FEET. IT ENDED UP BEING SOMEWHERE. 41:47 WE HAVEN'T QUITE FIGURED OUT WHETHER IT WAS TEN CARS, 12 41:53 CARS, 14 CARS, BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE LEFT THE ACCIDENT SCENE. 41:57 BUT NOBODY IN THE WHOLE DEAL HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. 42:00 >> AMEN. >> AMBULANCE CAME, BUT THEY LEFT 42:04 WITHOUT ANYBODY IN IT. WE ALL WALKED AWAY. 42:07 ABOUT AN HOUR LATER, WE WERE BACK ON THE ROAD AGAIN. 42:12 GOD JUST WORKING MIRACULOUSLY TO MAKE SURE WE GOT HERE. 42:16 AND WE JUST CONTINUE TO SEE THAT -- WE WERE ABOUT 30 MINUTES 42:19 OUT OR SO, AND WE GOT STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AGAIN. 42:22 THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT AHEAD OF US, WHERE A SEMI HAD CAUGHT ON 42:26 FIRE, AND WE ENDED UP HAVING TO TURNAROUND TO GET A HOTEL FOR 42:31 THE NIGHT, BECAUSE IT WAS GETTING SO LATE. 42:34 SO WE HAVE JUST SEEN THE DEVIL TRYING HIS BEST, BUT WE SERVE A 42:38 GOD THAT IS BIGGER -- >> THAT'S RIGHT. 42:40 >> -- AND WE SERVE A GOD THAT IS GREATER, AND WE'RE HERE TONIGHT 42:45 BECAUSE OF GOD'S GRACE AND MERCY. 42:47 >> AND I BELIEVE THE REASON WHY THE SDDEVIL IS SO FEARFUL, BECAUSE 42:56 WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING. IT'S OUR INDEPENDENCE ON THE 43:00 LORD THAT GIVES US BREATH OF LIFE. 43:01 BUT I BELIEVE THE DEVIL IS AFRAID OF 11,500 PEOPLE IN 43:06 PENNSYLVANIA BECOMING RENEWED, REVIVED, AND SPIRITUALLY READY 43:10 TO IMPACT THE WORLD THAT THEY LIVE IN. 43:13 >> HUH. >> AND I SEE THAT HAPPENING WITH 43:16 OUR MEMBERS. HERE ARE THE KINDS OF STATEMENTS 43:18 I HEAR THEM SAYING. IT'S ABOUT TIME. 43:20 >> WOW. >> WE'RE JUST WAITING FOR 43:22 SOMETHING LIKE THIS. WE WANTED TO DO MORE. 43:26 BUT WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT. THIS IS BIGGER THAN US, AND WE 43:29 WANT TO BE A PART OF THIS. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 43:32 >> AND THAT'S WHY YOU CAN GET 1,340 PEOPLE GETTING UP AT 5:00 43:40 AM, AND DRIVING ACROSS THE STREET TO GO DOOR-TO-DOOR TO 43:46 INVITE PEOPLE TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S CHURCH. 43:49 AND IT WILL BE EVEN BIGGER THIS YEAR. 43:53 AND I CAN THAT IN FAITH. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 43:58 HE'LL NOT ONLY HEAR US, BUT WE'LL HAVE THE PETTION OF WHICH 44:02 WE ASK. YOU ARE PULLING THIS TOGETHER IN 44:04 A CONFERENCE, AND YOU ARE IN A CITY THAT STATISTICALLY COULD 44:09 BE -- IS NOT AS LIVE WITH THE ADVENTIST PRESENCE AS OTHER 44:14 PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. ST. LOUIS IS ANOTHER REGION OF 44:19 THE NATION IS NOT AS POPULAR AND FAMILIAR WITH THE ADVENT 44:22 MESSAGE, BUT EVERYONE HAS TO HAVE THIS MESSAGE WHEN THIS 44:26 GOSPEL GOES TO ALL OF THE WORLD THEN THE END WILL COME. 44:31 THEN JESUS WILL COME. DO YOU HAVE A STORY, PASTOR? 44:35 >> YES, AS TIM SAID, FOR US THREE GUYS, OUR MAIN FOCUS RIGHT 44:39 NOW IS PENNSYLVANIA. THAT'S WHERE GOD HAS CALLED US 44:43 TO BE. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 44:44 >> BUT WE'RE SITTING HERE AND 3ABN IS BROADCASTING THIS ALL 44:49 OVER THE WORLD, AND IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS. 44:52 I REALLY DON'T THINK THE DEVIL WANTS THE ENTIRE WORLD TO 44:57 REALIZE THAT EVERY MEMBER NEEDS TO BE INVOLVED WITH SPREADING 44:59 THE GOSPEL. IF WE ARE GOING TO GO HOME, IT'S 45:05 TIME TO GET BUSY. IT'S TIME TO DO WHAT GOD HAS 45:09 CALLED US TO DO AS A CHURCH, AND I REALLY THINK THE SDEFL SCARED 45:13 TO DEATH BECAUSE OF WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN, BECAUSE OF WHAT 45:15 IS HAPPENING HERE TONIGHT. >> YEAH, THE KAMIKAZE MENTALITY. 45:21 >> OH, YES. ALL I'M SAYING IS THE FOREST 45:26 FIRE IS SPREADING. >> I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IF 25 45:32 MILLION SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS CAME ALIVE, AND IF THEY WOKE UP 45:36 WITH THE BURNING DESIRE OF SHARING THE GOSPEL LIKE IT WAS 45:40 THEIR LAST DAY ON EARTH. WHEN WE SEE THAT KIND OF PASSION 45:44 OCCUR -- THAT'S WHAT ELDER WILSON HAS ASKED FOR EACH OF US, 45:49 IT HAS BEEN A CALL FOR THE WHOLE CHURCH TO HAVE TOTAL MEMBER 45:53 INVOLVEMENT. AND I WANT TO BE A PART OF THAT 45:55 TYPE OF MOVEMENT, AND TO SEE THIS KIND OF ENERGY, AND THIS 46:01 KIND OF SPARK WHEN A CHURCH MEMBER WILL GO OUT AND WORK WITH 46:05 SOMEONE ELSE, EXPECTING NOTHING IN RETURN, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT 46:09 NEEDS TO OCCUR IN ORDER FOR THE GOSPEL TO GO OUT IN OUR 46:13 GENERATION LIKE IT DID WHEN THE APOSSEL STARTED. 46:24 THEY WENT AROUND THE WORLD BECAUSE THERE WAS TOTAL MEMBER 46:30 INVOLVEMENT. IT'S ABOUT DISCIPLESHIP. 46:32 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT TOTAL 46:35 MEMBER INVOLVEMENT IS, IT'S DISCIPLESHIP. 46:38 IT'S ALL OF US GETTING INVOLVED TO THIS LEVEL, WHERE IT'S OUR 46:42 PASSION, AND -- AND THIS IS WHAT WE'RE STARTING TO SEE A GLIMPSE 46:48 OF TAKE PLACE IN THE PENNSYLVANIA CONFERENCE. 46:50 >> AND THE GOSPEL HAS TO GO TO THE WORLD FOR THEN TO COME. 46:56 THE HANDBILLS HAVE THEIR PLACE. >> ABSOLUTELY. 46:59 >> BUT THE HANDBILLS CAN ONLY ADVERTISE, BUT IT CAN'T TOUCH 47:04 THE HEART OF THE INDIVIDUAL RELATIONSHIPS -- HELLO, MY NAME 47:11 IS PASTOR TIM BAILEY. I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO 47:15 OUR UP COMING SERIES OF MEANINGS. 47:18 THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE. YOU TALKED ABOUT THE LARGE 47:22 CROWDS DESCENDING, BUT TELL ME ABOUT INDIANA, PENNSYLVANIA. 47:28 >> WELL, INDIANA, PENNSYLVANIA WAS A CHURCH THAT THE AVERAGE 47:35 AGE -- I'M BEING CAREFUL HERE -- >> RIGHT. 47:39 YOU ARE BEING KIND. >> I WOULD BE THE CREATOR OF THE 47:47 OLDER GENERATION IN THAT CHURCH. THERE WERE A COUPLE IN THEIR 47:52 50S, BUT MOST WERE 65, 60 YEARS OF AGE. 47:59 AND THEY HAD ONE GRANDCHILD COMING. 48:01 AND THEY WEREN'T HAVING PRAYER MEETING BECAUSE IT WAS TOO 48:05 DIFFICULT. THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY MONEY FOR 48:07 EVANGELISM, BECAUSE IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE, AND IT DIDN'T WORK 48:12 ANYWAYS. BUT THERE WAS ONE LADY IN THAT 48:15 CHURCH. SHE WAS IN HER 80S. 48:17 AND SHE WANTED TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED IN PHILADELPHIA THE 48:22 PRIOR YEAR BEFORE. AND SHE WAS THE LADY THAT 48:25 DECIDED SHE WAS GOING TO GIVE $25,000 SEED MONEY. 48:28 AND WE PROMISED NOT ANY BAPTISMS, BUT THAT WE WOULD PUT 48:34 OUR BEST FOOT FORWARD, AND THAT SHE WOULD HAVE TO BE SATISFIED 48:37 WITH THAT, AND WE DID. AND SAID ABOUT -- JUST LESS THAN 48:41 SIX MONTHS LATER, THEIR CHURCH ATTENDANCE AS DOUBLED. 48:45 >> AMEN. >> THEY HAVE AN AVERAGE OF 50, 48:49 THEY HAVE A DOZEN KIDS ATTENDING CHURCH NOW. 48:52 THEY HAVE NOW ALREADY VOTED, AND THEIR ARE WORKING ON A CYCLE OF 48:57 EVANGELISM, WHERE THEY CONTINUE OVER AND OVER EACH YEAR, AS 49:00 WE'RE TRYING TO DO WITH THE ENTIRE CONFERENCE. 49:03 >> RIGHT. >> AND INDIANA IS A VIBRANT 49:07 EXCITING PLACE TO BE. >> INDIANA, PENNSYLVANIA. 49:10 >> INDIANA, PENNSYLVANIA. INDIANA IS TOO, I'M SURE. 49:15 [ LAUGHTER ] >> AND THE MEMBERSHIP HAS JUST 49:16 COME LIVE. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, IT'S SO FUN 49:19 TO BE IN THAT CHURCH, BEAUSE THEY ARE SO EXCITED ABOUT WHAT 49:22 GOD IS DOING. >> WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE 49:25 PROGRAMMING -- WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THIS, AND 49:29 WE'RE SAVING ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHT INITIATIVE STORIES FOR 49:33 THE SECOND HALF OF THE PROGRAM, BECAUSE MANY OF YOU MAY BE 49:37 ASKING, HOW DID THIS GET STARTED? 49:39 WHERE DID THIS IGNITION COME FROM? 49:42 WHAT GAVE THE PENNSYLVANIA CONFERENCE THE IMPETUS TO START 49:45 SOMETHING THAT HAS NOW BECOME A BRUSH FIRE IN THE HEARTS AND 49:50 LIVES OF ALL OF THE CHURCH MEMBERS AND LEADERS, AND HOW CAN 49:55 WE BECOME ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN THE SAME KIND OF EXCITEMENT IN 50:00 OUR OWN COMMUNITY? BUT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT 50:05 THAT IN THE SECOND HOUR. PASTOR STEWART IS IN THE WESTERN 50:11 PORTION OF THE STDIO. BUT COMING ON BOARD IN THE 50:14 CONFERENCE, YOU TALKED ABOUT THAT, COMING ON BOARD IN THE 50:18 CONFERENCE, AND JUST DISCOVERING, I HAVE COME TO A 50:22 CONFERENCE, AND NOW I'M SO CONNECTED TO THIS MISSION. 50:29 WHAT DIFFERENCE HAS THAT MADE. >> I DIDN'T COME ON BOARD A 50:33 COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. I CAME ON BOARD LAST MAY. 50:38 SO LESS THAN A YEAR. IN SO MANY WAYS THERE WAS 50:42 TENSION, THERE WAS A LACK OF MOTIVATION. 50:45 THERE WERE PEOPLE SAYING IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK. 50:48 WE SPENT $50,000 ON AN EVANGELISTIC SERIES 15 YEARS 50:53 AGO, AND THERE'S ONLY ONE PERSON LEFT, AND JUST TRYING TO 50:56 MOTIVATE THE PEOPLE, JUST TRYING TO GET THEM INTO A CYCLE OF 51:02 EVANGELISM, GET THEM TO UNDERSTAND, IF WE GET BUSY, 51:05 TOTAL MEMBER INVOLVEMENT, THINGS THAT ARE BIGGER THAN US ARE 51:08 GOING TO HAPPEN. I CAN GIVE YOU A STORY. 51:11 WE HAD A LADY THAT CAME TO THE EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS, AND SHE 51:17 WASN'T QUITE READY TO JOIN. SHE HAD SOME HESITANCY. 51:24 WE HAD A BIG SNOW STORM IN PITTSBURGH ON A FRIDAY. 51:26 AND ONE OF THE MEMBERS THOUGHT I'M GOING TO CONTACT THIS LADY 51:32 AND JUST ASK IF I CAN PICK UP GROCERIES FOR HER. 51:38 AND THEY OFFERED TO DO THAT, AND DID THAT, AND AS A RESULT OF 51:42 THAT -- SOMETIMES WE THINK EVANGELISM IS WHAT BRINGS PEPLE 51:46 IN, BUT FOR HER IT WAS THAT THAT MEMBER CARED. 51:50 THAT MEMBER SHOWED THAT SH MATTERED. 51:53 AND IT WAS SHORTLY AFTER THAT, SHE CAME TO ME AND SAID I WANT 51:57 TO BE BAPTIZED. I WANT TO JOIN YOUR CHURCH. 52:01 >> I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT STORY UP, BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES 52:07 PEOPLE SAY I'M NOT A PREACHER. BUT WHAT YOU ARE SHOWING IS 52:12 THERE ARE THOE LISTENING AND WATCHING THE PROGRAM AND SAYING, 52:16 HEY, I LOVE PEOPLE. IS THERE SOMETHING I CAN DO? 52:20 CAN I REACH OUT TO MY NEIGHBORS AND MAKE AN IMPACT? 52:25 THE SPIRIT OF GOD WORKED THROUGH THAT INDIVIDUAL, BECAUSE THE 52:28 LORD KNEW THERE WAS A FLAME THERE THAT NEEDED MORE THAN JUST 52:32 A MESSAGE. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 52:33 >> YEAH, THERE WAS ONE OF OUR SMALLER CHURCHES -- WHICH THEY 52:39 ARE ALL SMALLER IN WESTERN PA, EXCEPT FOR THE PITTSBURGH 52:43 CHURCH. THEY HAVE JUST A FEW MEMBERS, AS 52:46 DO MOST OF THEM, AND A GROUP OF SPANISH PASTORS AND THEIR 52:52 MEMBERSHIP CAME OVER. THEY SAID WE CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH 52:56 VERY GOOD, AND HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO THIS? 52:59 SO WE TAUGHT THEM TO SIMPLY SAY, GOD LOVES YOU AND I DO TOO, AND 53:05 HERE IS A CARD OR BOOK FOR YOU. >> IN ENGLISH? 53:08 >> IN ENGLISH. AND SOME OF THEM SPOKE GOOD 53:13 BROKEN ENGLISH. BUT THERE WAS ABOUT 80 SPANISH 53:18 MEMBERS THAT WENT TO THIS ONE CHURCH, AND WHEN THEY CAME TO 53:21 THAT CHURCH, THEY WERE SO OVERWHELMED -- THEY HAD A 53:26 BEAUTIFUL CHURCH WITH HARDLY ANYBODY ATTENDING. 53:28 SO THE NEXT WEEK, THEY WENT BACK HOME AND THEY GAVE A 53:33 PRESENTATION TO THEIR CHURCH OF THE MISSIONARY PROJECT THAT THEY 53:36 WENT AND THEY WERE TELLING TESTIMONIES, AND THEY ASKED HOW 53:41 MANY WOULD GO AGAIN? ALL OF THESE HANDS WENT UP A. 53:45 AND THEN ONE OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE SAID, BUT THEY NEED US SO BADLY. 53:51 WE CAN'T GO JUST ONCE. WE NEED TO GO AGAIN. 53:54 >> THIS IS A SPANISH YOUNG PERSON? 53:56 >> A SPANISH YOUNG PERSON. AND HIS FATHER HAPPENED TO BE 54:00 THE HEAD ELDER OF THE CHURCH, AND HE SAID, DAD, CAN WE GO BACK 54:06 ONCE A MONTH? WHAT CAN WE DO? 54:09 THEY HAVE SO MUCH, BUT THEY HAVE NOTHING. 54:13 WE DON'T EVEN OWN A CHURCH, BUT WE'RE EXCITED AND HAVE ALL OF 54:17 THIS GOING ON HERE. WE HAVE TO SHARE WITH WHAT WE 54:21 HAVE. >> WOW. 54:22 >> SO THEY MADE ARRANGEMENTS THAT THEY WOULD GET A 54:27 12-PASSENGER VAN, AND TRY TO GO OVER AT LEAST ONCE A QUARTER, 54:31 AND THEY WOULD GO OVER AND HOLD FRIDAY NIGHT [ INAUDIBLE ] FOR 54:36 THESE PEOPLE AND THEN HAVE SABBATH SCHOOL, SPECIAL MUSIC, 54:41 PREACH THE SERMON, AND THEN THEY WOULD GO OUTDOOR-TO-DOOR FOR 54:45 FIVE OR SIX HOURS BEFORE THEY HEADED HOME, SO THEY COULD WORK 54:51 UP MOE INTEREST FOR THE BIBLE WORKER THAT WE PLACED IN THAT -CHURCH. 54:55 AND THE INTERESTING THING THAT JUST TOUCHES MY HEART IS THEY 54:59 SAID THEY HAVE, WHAT WE NEED, WHICH IS A CHURCH BUILDING. 55:04 AND WE HAVE WHAT THEY NEED, WHICH IS YOUTH AND LIFE. 55:07 AND WE WANT TO SHARE WHAT WE HAVE, SO THAT THEY CAN FILL UP 55:11 THAT CHURCH. >> WOW. 55:12 WOW. SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE 55:15 BECOMING UNSELFISH. >> ABSOLUTELY. 55:17 >> A LOT OF TIMES CHURCHES ARE VERY TERRITORIAL. 55:23 THEY SAY NO -- WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO ADVERTISE THE PRGRAM 55:27 HAPPENING IN OUR CHURCH. AND THEY SAY NO. 55:29 >> THEY CROSSED CULTURAL AND AGE BOUNDARIES. 55:34 BEAUTIFUL. >> THE INTEREST WAS WHAT CAN WE 55:36 DO FOR PEOPLE TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF WHO JESUS IS? 55:40 AND I LIKE THAT FAITH FOR FAMILY. 55:42 WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THIS IN THE SECOND 55:45 PART OF THE PROGRAM. I DON'T WANT YOU TO GO AWAY, 55:48 BECAUSE IT IS A VERY INTERESTING STORY. 55:51 BUT WHAT YOU ARE SEEING SO FAR IS THE MISSION FIELD ISN'T 55:55 NECESSARILY INDIA ALONE. IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE MIDDLE 55:59 EAST OR THE 680 CORRIDOR AS WE HAVE OFTEN BEEN TOLD IN OUR 56:05 CHURCH. LET'S TRY TO FIND WAYS TO REACH 56:08 THE MUSLIMS, HINDUS, BUDDHISTS, BUT THERE ARE CITIES WHERE JESUS 56:16 IS NEEDED JUST AS MUCH AS AROUND THE WORLD. 56:20 >> IN PITTSBURGH 1 IN 1,000 PEOPLE ARE SEVENTH-DAY 56:28 ADVENTISTS. THERE IS MORE NEED THERE THAN 56:31 THERE IS OVERSEAS. I THOUGHT I WOULD JUST POINT 56:34 THAT OUT. >> 1 IN 5,000. 56:37 >> THAT'S PHENOMENALLY LOW. >> BUT THEN YOU HAVE 11,000 56:41 PEOPLE ON THE STREET STIRRING UP THE POT. 56:43 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN PEOPLE START NOTICING, WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE 56:47 IN PENNSYLVANIA? AND AS A PERSON WHO -- AND THIS -IS A BEAUTIFUL THING. 56:53 YOU ALL ARE ENDURING HARDSHIP AS GOOD SOLDIERS, THE INJURY, THE 56:58 CAR ACCIDENT, AND WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THE CAR ACCIDENT, I 57:02 COULDN'T HESITATE BUT TO ASK WAS IT BAD WEATHER? 57:05 WAS IT RAINING? >> NO, PERFECT CONDITIONS. 57:09 >> PERFECT CONDITIONS. >> YEP. 57:11 >> BUT THERE WAS AN ENEMY UPSET ABOUT PEOPLE GETTING ON FIRE FOR 57:15 JESUS, BEING IGNITED ABOUT THE GOSPEL. 57:18 CARING ABOUT OTHER INDIVIDUALS, GOING BEYOND THEMSELVES. 57:22 SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT FAITH FOR FAMILY, THIS IS WHAT IS 57:25 HAPPENING IN PA, BUT THE REASON WHY THE LORD ALLOWED THIS 57:29 PROGRAM TO BE ON 3ABN TONIGHT, BECAUSE THERE ARE THOSE OF YOU 57:32 IN AUSTRALIA, AND NEW GUINEA, AND EUROPE, AND DIFFERENT PARTS 57:38 OF THE WORLD THAT MAY BE SAYING, WE HAVE FAMILIES HERE TOO THAT 57:44 NEED TO BE IGNITED. SO STAY TUNED WE HAVE MORE 57:49 EXCITING STORIES AND HOW YOU CAN BECOME INVOLVED. 57:53 WE'LL BE BACK IN TWO MINUTES. ♪ |
