JOHN, WE HAVE A PROGRAM TODAY
THAT WE KNOW IS GOING TO BE A
00:01:34.86\00:01:37.89
BLESSING TO PEOPLE, BECAUSE WE
HAVE ALREADY PRAYED AND INVITED
00:01:37.89\00:01:42.80
THE HOLY SPIRIT TO BE HERE, AND
WHEN YOU HAVE HIM TO BE HERE,
00:01:42.80\00:01:47.50
THEN HE IS GOING TO BE HERE.
BUT IT'S INCREDIBLE INFORMATION
00:01:47.50\00:01:52.47
THAT WE'RE GOING TO HEAR THAT
THINGS ARE ALIVE AND WELL ASH
00:01:52.47\00:02:02.08
-- AROUND THE WORLD. >>
DANNY WHAT IS EXCITING ABOUT
00:02:02.08\00:02:07.26
THIS PROGRAM IS TODAY WE'RE
GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE AND YOU
00:02:07.26\00:02:10.99
ARE GOING TO CONNECT WITH
US HERE AT 3ABN, BUT THERE'S A
00:02:10.99\00:02:15.20
SPECIAL PORTION TO THE PROGRAM,
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OUR GUEST
00:02:15.20\00:02:17.97
FROM HOPE CHANNEL.
YOU'RE GOING TO GET A CHANCE TO
00:02:17.97\00:02:21.60
MEET OUR SPECIAL GUESTS, AND
WE'LL LET YOU KNOW WHO THEY ARE
00:02:21.60\00:02:24.94
IN JUST A MOMENT, BUT
THIS IS A FEW DAY AT 3ABN.
00:02:24.94\00:02:28.58
>> ABSOLUTELY. >> THE
GOSPEL IS GOING AROUND
00:02:28.58\00:02:31.35
THE WORLD IN A RAPID PACE, AND
THE LORD HAS PROMISED THAT THE
00:02:31.35\00:02:36.58
WORK WILL NOT CLOSE WITH LESS
GLORY THAN IT BEGAN, SO WE'RE
00:02:36.58\00:02:40.99
GOING TO TALK ABOUT EVANGELISM,
HOW IT'S WORKING HERE NOT ONLY
00:02:40.99\00:02:44.96
HERE, BUT ALSO THROUGH HOPE
CHANNEL, OUR SISTER NETWORK IN
00:02:44.96\00:02:49.33
SILVER SPRINGS,
MARYLAND. >> ABSOLUTELY.
00:02:49.33\00:02:52.00
YOU KNOW, JOHN, TODAY IS THE
GREATEST TIME IN THE WORLD TO BE
00:02:52.00\00:02:56.71
ALIVE. BECAUSE
IT'S CLOSING MOMENTS OF
00:02:56.71\00:02:59.21
EARTH'S HISTORY, AND RIGHT NOW
HAS NEVER BEEN A BETTER TIME FOR
00:02:59.21\00:03:06.68
EVANGELISM. WHEN
YOU READ THE NEWSPAPER,
00:03:06.68\00:03:08.78
LISTEN TO THE TELEVISION, IT
MAKES PEOPLE WANT TO GIVE UP.
00:03:08.78\00:03:14.76
I DON'T KNOW WHAT PEOPLE DO WHEN
THEY HAVE NOT READ THE BACK OF
00:03:14.76\00:03:20.00
THE BOOK.-THE BACK
OF THE BOOK SAYS WE WIN.
00:03:20.00\00:03:24.33
THEY OVERCAME HIM, THE
DEVIL. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:03:24.33\00:03:27.84
>> SO TO ME IT'S AN EXCITING
TIME, BECAUSE PEOPLE EVERYWHERE
00:03:27.84\00:03:32.44
ARE IN NEED OF SOMETHING, AND
MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY
00:03:32.44\00:03:36.24
ARE LOOKING FOR, BUT
WE HAVE THE ANSWER TODAY.
00:03:36.24\00:03:40.72
SO WE'RE SO THANKFUL TODAY
TO HAVE ELDER WILSON, AND WE'RE
00:03:40.72\00:03:45.89
INTRODUCE NANCY AND OF COURSE
THE REST OF THE GROUP IN JUST A
00:03:45.89\00:03:48.66
FEW MOMENTS, BUT, JOHN, I THINK
WE'RE GOING TO TAL ABOUT SOME
00:03:48.66\00:03:53.26
PROJECTS. WE DID A
PILLARS PROJECT A FEW
00:03:53.26\00:03:58.67
MONTHS AGO, AND RECENTLY
WE DID THE CROSS OF CALVARY.
00:03:58.67\00:04:09.61
>>S THE CROSS OF CALVARY IS
THE CENTRAL FOCUS OF OUR HOPE.
00:04:09.61\00:04:14.85
IF JESUS HAD ONLY DIED, HE
WOULD BE LKE EVERY OTHER PERSON
00:04:14.85\00:04:21.19
CRUCIFIED, BUT WE HAVE A RISEN
SAVIOR, AND HE HAS GIVEN US ALL
00:04:21.19\00:04:26.33
A MANDATE TO CARRY THE GOSPEL
TO THE WORLD, AND 3ABN AND HOPE
00:04:26.33\00:04:31.77
CHANNEL TOGETHER ARE ALLOWING
THE LIGHT OF GOD TO CIRCLE THE
00:04:31.77\00:04:35.80
GLOBE AT SUCH A PACE THAT I CAN
SEE NOW HOW THE FINAL MOVEMENT
00:04:35.80\00:04:39.57
IS GOING TO BE RAPID. >> UH-HUH.
00:04:39.57\00:04:42.01
>> THE TEXT THAT COMES TO MY
MIND IS MATTHEW 24:14 AND THIS
00:04:42.01\00:04:48.62
GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM SHALL BE
PREACHED IN ALL OF THE WORLD AS
-A WITNESS TO ALL NATIONS AND
00:04:48.62\00:04:54.29
THEN SHALL THE
END COME. >> UH-HUH.
00:04:54.29\00:04:56.79
>> SO 3ABN IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
THE WORLD SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
00:04:56.79\00:05:01.46
CHURCH IS LOOKING AT HOW GOD IS
TOUCHING LIVES NOT ONLY HERE IN
00:05:01.46\00:05:06.10
AMERICA, AND WE HAD A PREVIOUS
EVANGELISTIC SERIES IN LONDON,
00:05:06.10\00:05:10.77
BUT WE'LL TALK ABOUT OTHER
PLACES, ROMANIA -- AND I'LL LET
00:05:10.77\00:05:15.98
ELDER WILSON, AND PASTOR CA
AND THE McKEES TALK ABOUT THAT
00:05:15.98\00:05:21.45
TODAY. WE'RE SO
EXCITED THAT JESUS IS
00:05:21.45\00:05:26.12
USING US TO GET THIS
GOSPEL TO THE REST OF THE WORLD.
00:05:26.12\00:05:29.59
>> IT'S GREAT. WE
HAVE A TOOL FOR EVANGELISM,
00:05:29.59\00:05:33.36
BUT WE CAN'T DO IT
WITHOUT YOU, THE VIEWERS.
00:05:33.36\00:05:36.40
THAT'S WHY I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH.
00:05:36.40\00:05:40.00
I CALL IT A MOVEMENT AS MANY
OF US THAT ARE OLDER, WE DON'T
00:05:40.00\00:05:48.21
ALWAYS REFER TO THA WE ARE PART
OF THE CHURCH, WE SAY WE'RE PART
00:05:48.21\00:05:53.48
OF THE MOVEMENT,
BECAUSE WE'RE GOING SOMEWHERE.
00:05:53.48\00:05:56.32
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >>
WE BELIEVE THAT GOD HAS
00:05:56.32\00:06:00.62
PLACED TED AND NANCY WILSON
EXACTLY WHERE THEY ARE FOR THIS
00:06:00.62\00:06:05.49
PLACE IN HISTORY.
SOMEBODY WHO STICKS STRAIGHT TO
00:06:05.49\00:06:09.30
THE WORD OF GOD TO THE
FOUNDATIONAL BELIEFS OF THE
00:06:09.30\00:06:12.50
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH.
AND WE JUST WANT THE WILSONS TO
00:06:12.50\00:06:15.50
KNOW AND THE FOLK AT HOPE
CHANNEL, WE SUPPORT EACH AND
00:06:15.50\00:06:19.71
EVERY ONE OF YOU IN WHAT YOU ARE
DOING, BECAUSE WORLD EVANGELISM
00:06:19.71\00:06:23.88
IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT.
BECAUSE JESUS IS GOING TO COME
00:06:23.88\00:06:28.42
BACK WHEN THIS GAS PELL R
-- GOSPEL IS PREACHED TO ALL
00:06:28.42\00:06:34.19
OF THE WORLD. >> AND
IT'S NOT JUST WHAT THE
00:06:34.19\00:06:39.19
PROFESSIONALS DO, BUT THE LORD
IS CALLING ON EVERY MEMBER TO BE
00:06:39.19\00:06:44.63
INVOLVED. TOTAL
MEMBER INVOLVEMENT.
00:06:44.63\00:06:45.77
AND THAT'S GOING TO BE A SPECIAL
INITIATIVE, AND WE ENCOURAGE YOU
00:06:45.77\00:06:49.57
TO BEGIN TO PRAY, LORD, WHAT
CAN I DO TO HASTEN THE COMING
00:06:49.57\00:06:54.34
OF -- OF OUR SAVIOR.
SO WHEN THE LORD CALLS US,
00:06:54.34\00:06:58.35
DANNY, HE CALLS US BY HIS WORK,
BUT HE CALLS US FOR A WORK.
00:06:58.35\00:07:02.32
>> AMEN. >> HE
CALLS US FOR HIS WORK, AND
00:07:02.32\00:07:06.35
THE BEAUTIFUL THING -- MY WIFE
AND I WERE JUST SAYING THIS, THE
00:07:06.35\00:07:10.39
SOONER THE LORD
CAN COME, THE BETTER.
00:07:10.39\00:07:13.03
AND TODAY WE'RE
GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT.
00:07:13.03\00:07:15.33
AND EVANGELISM -- THE CENTRAL
FOCUS OF EVANGELISM IS THE CROSS
00:07:15.33\00:07:20.64
OF CALVARY, WHICH
BRINGS ME TO THAT PROJECT.
00:07:20.64\00:07:24.87
DANNY TELL US ABOUT THE CALVARY
PROJECT AND TAKE US INTO THE
00:07:24.87\00:07:31.81
SONG. >> WELL,
WE'RE THINKING ABOUT A
00:07:31.81\00:07:36.95
MUSIC PROJECT. THIS
ONE EVERY SONG TALKS ABOUT
00:07:36.95\00:07:41.69
THE CROSS OF CALVARY. WE
WORKED TOGETHER WITH BROTHER
00:07:41.69\00:07:46.03
LANNY WOLF WHO IS ONE OF THE
ALL-TIME BIBLE -- IF I CAN SAY
00:07:46.03\00:07:51.97
THIS WORD --
BLESSED SONG WRITERS.
00:07:51.97\00:07:57.14
HE WROTE SO MANY SONGS,
AND BROTHER LANNY WAS WORKING
00:07:57.14\00:08:00.58
TOGETHER AND WE
ACTUALLY CO-WROTE SOME SONGS.
00:08:00.58\00:08:04.91
AND THIS WAS A SONG WE COWROTE
THE DAY WE WERE RECORDING IT.
00:08:04.91\00:08:11.15
I PICKED UP LANNY WOLF AT THE
AIRPORT, AND THE NEXT MORNING HE
00:08:11.15\00:08:16.36
PUT VERSES TO IT, SO WE GLOOEF
GETHSEMANE, THE PICTURE, AND
00:08:16.36\00:08:23.73
THAT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT DESIRE
OF AGES, WHEN YOU READ THE
00:08:23.73\00:08:27.37
CHAPTER ON GETHSEMANE,
YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT JESUS WENT
00:08:27.37\00:08:33.54
THROUGH. BORN IN A
MANAGER, AND NOW HE'S
00:08:33.54\00:08:36.68
COMING BACK AND
KING OF KINGS ONCE AGAIN.
00:08:36.68\00:08:38.91
BUT HE CAME HERE, SHED HIS
BLOOD ON THE CROSS OF CALVARY,
00:08:38.91\00:08:45.82
SUFFERED, BLED, AND
DIED. WHAT AN AMAZING, AMAZING
00:08:45.82\00:08:49.89
SACRIFICE. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:08:49.89\00:08:51.59
AND I THINK AFTER -- AFTER WE
HEAR THIS SONG THAT REGGIE SMITH
00:08:51.59\00:08:57.73
SINGS, WE'LL HAVE THE PRIVILEGE
OF INTRODUCING TO YOU OUR PANEL,
00:08:57.73\00:09:01.77
AND UNFOLD TO YOU A BEAUTIFUL
PLAN OF HOW GOD IS TOUCHES THE
00:09:01.77\00:09:05.97
HEARTS OF ALL OF US AROUND THE
WORLD, SPECIFICALLY THROUGH OUR
00:09:05.97\00:09:10.68
LEADER, BUT SIT BACK AND BE
BLESSED BY THE SONG, GETHSEMANE.

00:18:01.48\00:18:05.71
SO I TOOK THAT IDEA AND THAT'S
HOW WE CAME UP WITH THIS SONG.
00:18:05.71\00:18:10.35
SO MAYBE I WOULD SAY I
CO-WROTE IT WITH ELLEN WHITE.
00:18:10.35\00:18:15.36
BUT WE ENJOYED LINKING UP WITH
-BROTHER REGGIE SMITH AS WELL.
00:18:15.36\00:18:23.83
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >> AND
WE HAVE SOME OTHER GUESTS.
00:18:23.83\00:18:25.83
>> WE ALSO HAVE THE
McKEES, DUANE AND KATHY McKEE.
00:18:25.83\00:18:33.71
GOOD TO HAVE YOU. >>
GREAT TO BE WITH YOU.
00:18:33.71\00:18:38.51
WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT TOTAL
MEMBER INVOLVEMENT AS WE'LL BE
00:18:38.51\00:18:42.65
DISCUSSING IN
JUST A FEW MOMENTS.
00:18:42.65\00:18:44.69
>> YES, AND PASTOR CA MURRAY AND
IRMA ARE HIDING OUT OVER AT THE
00:18:44.69\00:18:51.36
CONFERENCE. IT'S
STRANGE TO SEE YOU EVER
00:18:51.36\00:18:54.73
THERE, BUT IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.
>> IT'S GOOD TO BE HERE AT THE
00:18:54.73\00:18:59.90
GENERAL CONFERENCE, AND
GOOD TO BE WITH YOU GUYS.
00:18:59.90\00:19:03.34
WITH ELDER WILSON'S GRACIOUS
RESPONSE, DANNY, I THOUGHT HE
00:19:03.34\00:19:08.11
JUST BOUGHT HIMSELF A CASE OF
THE NEW CALVARY DVDS, THEY HAVE
00:19:08.11\00:19:13.05
JUST COME OUT. AND
MAYBE WE OUGHT TO SEND SOME
00:19:13.05\00:19:18.12
OUT -- >> THANK YOU.
00:19:18.12\00:19:19.72
>> WE REALLY
APPRECIATE THAT. YES.
00:19:19.72\00:19:22.96
>> FIRST OF ALL, CA, REMEMBER,
YOU AND IRMA ARE JUST ON LOAN
00:19:22.96\00:19:28.56
THERE. DON'T PLAN
ON STAYING THERE VERY
00:19:28.56\00:19:31.30
LONG. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:19:31.30\00:19:32.00
>> WE NEED YOU BACK HERE.
>> WE'RE CLAIMING HIM NOW AFRO
00:19:32.00\00:19:37.51
MANIA. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:19:37.51\00:19:39.01
>> THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO TALK
ABOUT, TOTAL MEMBER INVOLVEMENT.
00:19:39.01\00:19:42.71
WHOSE IDEA, WHEN DID IT START,
AND TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT IT?
00:19:42.71\00:19:47.08
BECAUSE FOR SOME OF OUR CHURCH
MEMBERS -- I BELIEVE WE ALL NEED
00:19:47.08\00:19:50.39
TO GET INVOLVED -- BUT THIS IS
A MOVEMENT THAT WE'RE EXCITED TO
00:19:50.39\00:19:54.26
JOIN WITH YOU ELDER WILSON.
>> DANNY THANK YOU FOR THAT
00:19:54.26\00:19:58.86
INTRODUCTION TO WHAT TOTAL
MEMBER INVOLVEMENT IS ALL ABOUT.
00:19:58.86\00:20:00.90
OF COURSE THIS IS
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING NEW.
00:20:00.90\00:20:03.67
THIS IS WHAT GOD HAS ASKED HIS
PEOPLE FROM THE VERY BEGINNING
00:20:03.67\00:20:07.17
TO DO, AND THAT IS BE PART OF
THE GREAT PLAN OF SALVATION, NOT
00:20:07.17\00:20:12.14
THAT WE HAVE ANYTHING OF
OURSELVES TO GIVE, BUT THE LORD
00:20:12.14\00:20:17.65
KNOWS THAT OUR INVOLVEMENT
WITH OTHERS WILL HELP US TO DRAW
00:20:17.65\00:20:22.05
CLOSER TO HIM. AND SO
HE COULD HAVE -- WE HAVE
00:20:22.05\00:20:25.49
BEEN TOLD -- GIVEN THIS
PROCLAMATION OF THE THREE ANGELS
00:20:25.49\00:20:32.99
MESSAGES TO THE ANGELS TO DO,
BUT HE GAVE IT TO HUMAN BEINGS,
00:20:32.99\00:20:37.20
KNOWING IT WOULD BE A MARVELOUS
OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO SEE GOD'S
00:20:37.20\00:20:42.17
POWER WORKING IN NOT ONLY OUR
LIVES, BUT IN OTHERS LIVES, AND
00:20:42.17\00:20:47.51
SO THAT'S WHY TOTAL MEMBER
INVOLVEMENT ACTUALLY IS IN
00:20:47.51\00:20:50.55
EXISTENCE, BUT IT HAS BEEN
SOMETHING THAT GOD HAS ASKED
00:20:50.55\00:20:53.68
FOR, FOR A LONG TIME. IN
ESSENCE, IT -- IT COMES OUT
00:20:53.68\00:20:58.25
OF, OF COURSE, SCRIPTURE,
AND IT COMES OUT OF THE GREAT
00:20:58.25\00:21:02.56
COMMISSION MATTHEW 28, GOING
INTO ALL OF THE WORLD AND TEACH
00:21:02.56\00:21:08.36
THE NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM IN
THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND THE
00:21:08.36\00:21:13.23
SON, AND OF THOLY GHOST.
AND IN MARK 16, IT'S VERY
00:21:13.23\00:21:21.81
SPECIFIC GO YE INTO ALL OF THE
WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO
00:21:21.81\00:21:26.82
EVERY PREACHER. A LOT
OF TIMES PEOPLE THINK,
00:21:26.82\00:21:30.49
WELL, THAT'S THE
WORK OF A PASTOR.
00:21:30.49\00:21:32.45
THAT'S THE WORK
OF AN EVANGELIST.
00:21:32.45\00:21:36.02
THAT'S A PAID
INDIVIDUAL'S RESPONSIBILITY.
00:21:36.02\00:21:38.26
IN ESSENCE, ALL OF US ARE TO
WORK TOGETHER IN A VEY POWERFUL
00:21:38.26\00:21:46.37
WAY. THAT'S GOD'S PLAN.
00:21:46.37\00:21:48.24
GONE ARE THE DAYS WHEN A CHURCH
MEMBER WILL SIT BACK AND SAY,
00:21:48.24\00:21:52.31
YOU KNOW, I HAVEN'T
BEEN CALLED TO PREACH.
00:21:52.31\00:21:54.08
I HAVEN'T BEEN
GIVEN THAT RESPONSIBILITY.
00:21:54.08\00:21:58.01
I FAITHFULLY RETURN MY TITHE, I
GIVE FREE WILL OFFERINGS, NOW I
00:21:58.01\00:22:04.49
NEED TO SIT BACK AND WATCH YOU,
THE PAID WORKER DO THE WORK.
00:22:04.49\00:22:08.66
THIS WAS NEVER GOD'S PLAN.
IN FACT SOMEHOW CHURCHES OVER A
00:22:08.66\00:22:13.33
PERIOD OF TIME -- AND THIS IS
NOT PECULIAR TO ADVENTIST
-CHURCHES, IT'S MANY CHURCHES,
00:22:13.33\00:22:22.30
PASTORS HAVE TAKEN ON A ROLE AND
RESPONSIBILITY AS KIND OF THE
00:22:22.30\00:22:26.74
KEY SPIRITUAL PERSON WHO IS
TO DO EVERYTHING UP FRONT AND TO
00:22:26.74\00:22:30.15
CARRY OUT
ACTIVITIES IN A PUBLIC WAY.
00:22:30.15\00:22:33.88
IN REALITY THIS WAS
NEVER REALLY GOD'S PLAN.
00:22:33.88\00:22:38.82
SHEPHERDS OR PASTORS WERE
CERTAINLY TO TAKE CARE OF THE
00:22:38.82\00:22:44.73
FLOCK, TO TAKE CARE OF PEOPLE,
BUT ALSO TO INSTRUCT PEOPLE SO
00:22:44.73\00:22:48.16
THAT THEY WOULD BE PART
OF THE MINISTRY OF OUTREACH.
00:22:48.16\00:22:52.07
IN FACT IN A MARVELOUS
EXPLANATION BY ELLEN WHITE,
00:22:52.07\00:22:57.21
IT -- IT EXPLAINS TO US THAT
PASTORS WERE REALLY SUPPOSED TO
00:22:57.21\00:23:04.51
HELP ORGANIZE THE LOCAL PEOPLE
TO RUN THE CHURCH AND THE PEOPLE
00:23:04.51\00:23:09.08
WERE TO SAY TO PASTORS, PASTOR,
WE CAN TAKE CARE OF OUR CHURCH,
00:23:09.08\00:23:14.02
NOW YOU GO OUTINTO NEW AREAS
AND VANN -- EVANGELIZE WE WILL
00:23:14.02\00:23:24.90
SUPPORT AND TAKE CARE OF
THINGS, YOU GO OUT TO NEW AREAS.
00:23:24.90\00:23:29.64
I WANT TO READ ONE QUOTATION
FROM SPIRIT OF PROPHECY, WHICH
00:23:29.64\00:23:34.24
KIND OF IS THE -- THE
UNDERPINNING OF WHAT TOTAL
00:23:34.24\00:23:39.75
MEMBER INVOLVEMENT IS ALL ABOUT.
AND WHEN WE CAN TALK ABOUT HOW
00:23:39.75\00:23:42.62
IT ACTUALLY BEGAN
IN ITS NEWEST FORM.
00:23:42.62\00:23:46.59
BUT THIS PARTICULAR QUOTATION IS
FROM VOLUME 9 OF TESTIMONIES FOR
00:23:46.59\00:23:51.36
THE CHURCH. MARVELOUS
SERIES, AND IF SOME OF
00:23:51.36\00:23:54.93
YOU AS VIEWERS HAVEN'T BECOME
ACQUAINTED WITH THE WRITINGS OF
00:23:54.93\00:24:00.24
ELLEN WHITE, AND THE
BOOKS CALLED TESTIMONIES FOR THE
00:24:00.24\00:24:03.47
CHURCH, FULL OF INCREDIBLE
INSTRUCTION AND MARVELOUS THINGS
00:24:03.47\00:24:07.91
THAT POINT US BACK TO THE BIBLE,
POINT US BACK TO CHRIST, WE ARE
00:24:07.91\00:24:13.18
BIBLE-BELIEVING PEOPLE.
WE KNOW THAT THE BIBLE IS THE
00:24:13.18\00:24:15.65
RULE OF FAITH. IN
FACT WE'RE IN THE 500TH
00:24:15.65\00:24:21.42
ANNIVERSARY OF THE
PROTESTANT REFORMATION.
00:24:21.42\00:24:24.59
OCTOBER 31ST OF THIS YEAR WILL
BE THAT SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY WHEN
00:24:24.59\00:24:30.80
500 YEARS AGO, MARTIN LUTHER
NAILED THOSE 95 SPECIES ON THAT
00:24:30.80\00:24:35.90
CATHEDRAL DOOR. AND
ONE OF THE PILLARS OF THAT
00:24:35.90\00:24:38.74
IS THE BIBLE
AND THE BIBLE ALONE.
00:24:38.74\00:24:41.28
SO WE BELIEVE IN SCRIPTURE,
TOTALLY, BUT I WANT TO TELL YOU
00:24:41.28\00:24:45.98
THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY IS A
WONDERFUL ADJUNCT THAT HELP US
00:24:45.98\00:24:53.52
TO UNDERSTAND.
NOW IN THIS PARTICULAR
00:24:53.52\00:24:55.49
QUOTATION, IT IS TALKING ABOUT
HOW LAY PEOPLE AND PAID WORKERS
00:24:55.49\00:24:59.63
NEED TO WORK
TOGETHER. IT SAYS THE WORK OF
00:24:59.63\00:25:02.40
GOD -- VOLUME 9, PAGE 117 -- THE
WORK OF GOD IN THIS EARTH CAN
00:25:02.40\00:25:08.07
NEVER BE FINISHED UNTIL THE MEN
AND WOMEN COMPRISING OUR CHURCH
00:25:08.07\00:25:16.31
MEMBERSHIP RALLY TO THE WORK AND
UNITE THEIR EFFORTS WITH THOSE
00:25:16.31\00:25:21.45
OF MINISTERS
AND CHURCH OFFICERS.
00:25:21.45\00:25:26.09
THIS PARTICULAR QUOTATION
HAS HELPED AUGMENT THE POWERFUL
00:25:26.09\00:25:30.99
BIBLICAL MESSAGE THAT ALL OF
US ARE TO BE WORKING TOGETHER IN
00:25:30.99\00:25:36.60
THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
AROUND -- LET'S SAY BEFORE THE
00:25:36.60\00:25:42.20
LAST GENERAL CONFERENCE SESSION
OF THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
00:25:42.20\00:25:45.77
CHURCH, IN 2015, PRIOR TO THAT,
A CLOSE COLLEAGUE OF MINE, WHO
00:25:45.77\00:25:51.58
WAS A VICE PRESIDENT AT THAT
TIME OF THE CHURCH AND IS NOW AN
00:25:51.58\00:25:55.52
ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT AND
IS SEMIRETIRED, MIKE RYAN KEPT
00:25:55.52\00:26:00.89
TALKING TO ME PRIVATELY, KEPT
URGING US IN COMMITTEES, KEPT
00:26:00.89\00:26:05.66
PUSHING THE FACT THAT WE MUST
GET OUR LAY PEOPLE COMPLETELY
00:26:05.66\00:26:11.93
INVOLVED IN WHAT IS HAPPENING
IN THE CHURCH, AND AS THE HOLY
00:26:11.93\00:26:15.74
SPIRIT WAS TOUCHING OUR HEARTS,
AND HELPING US TO UNDERSTAND
00:26:15.74\00:26:20.34
BETTER HOW THAT WAS TO TAKE
PLACE, IT BEGAN TO DEVELOP THAT
00:26:20.34\00:26:26.51
PERHAPS THERE WOULD BE WAYS IN
WHICH LAY PEOPLE WOULD BE FULLY
00:26:26.51\00:26:30.52
EMPOWERED IN THE KIND OF
ACTIVITY THAT WE ARE INVOLVED
00:26:30.52\00:26:36.12
WITH IN OUTREACH, WHEREBY THEY
COULD FEEL JUST AS MUCH A PART
00:26:36.12\00:26:40.50
OF BEING PART OF THE FRONT LINE
OF ADVANCEMENT OF GOD'S WORK.
00:26:40.50\00:26:45.63
AND THAT THE DAYS OF SIMPLY
SITTING BACK AND SAYING I PAY,
00:26:45.63\00:26:49.94
YOU WORK, WOULD BE OVER.
AND THAT ALL OF US TOGETHER
00:26:49.94\00:26:53.07
WOULD BE SO EXCITED ABOUT
THE KIND OF ADVANCEMENT IN THESE
00:26:53.07\00:26:57.95
VERY LAST DAYS AND -- AND
IN YOUR INTRODUCTION, YOU HAVE
00:26:57.95\00:27:02.55
INDICATED THAT JESUS IS COMING
SOON, AND GOD SAID -- YOU KNOW,
00:27:02.55\00:27:08.02
HE CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH,
AND I ABSOLUTELY AFFIRM THAT.
00:27:08.02\00:27:12.93
I TRULY BELIEVE AS I LOOK
AROUND, I BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS
00:27:12.93\00:27:17.57
TRULY COMING SOON.
THINGS ARE FALLING APART ALL
00:27:17.57\00:27:20.24
OVER THE WORLD, AND WE RECOGNIZE
THE SIGNS THAT THE BIBLE HAS
00:27:20.24\00:27:25.41
PREDICTED, AND WE HAVE BEEN
PREACHING ABOUT THAT IN ROMANIA
00:27:25.41\00:27:29.61
THAT SOON JESUS WILL
COME. BUT AS WE DEVELOP THESE
00:27:29.61\00:27:33.88
THOUGHTS, THEN WE BEGIN TO
UNDERSTAND THAT WE SHOULD CALAIS
00:27:33.88\00:27:37.19
PEOPLE INTO A
COMPLETE PLAN OF OUTREACH.
00:27:37.19\00:27:42.02
TOTAL MEMBER INVOLVEMENT IS
NOT JUST PUBLIC EVANGELISTIC
00:27:42.02\00:27:49.20
MEETINGS, BUT
EVERYTHING ELSE BUILT INTO IT.
00:27:49.20\00:27:51.90
ENGINEER FROM HEALTH OUTREACH,
TO LITERATURE DISTRIBUTION, TO
00:27:51.90\00:27:56.30
CHOIRS SINGING, TO DISTRIBUTING
LITERATURE IN MASSIVE WAYS,
00:27:56.30\00:28:01.31
IN -- WOMEN AND CHILDREN,
AND ALL CHURCH MEMBERS WORKING
00:28:01.31\00:28:06.38
TOGETHER. ALL
KINDS OF ACTIVITIES,
00:28:06.38\00:28:09.08
INCLUDING MEDIA OUTREACH, EVERY
POSSIBLE TWHA YOU CAN TRY TO
00:28:09.08\00:28:14.26
REACH PEOPLE.
COMMUNITY SERVICES.
00:28:14.26\00:28:17.79
OUR ADVENTIST DEVELOPMENT AND
RELIEF AGENCY, WORKING TOGETHER
00:28:17.79\00:28:21.23
WITH CHURCH MEMBERS IN HELPING
TO MEET THE NEEDS OF PEOPLE.
00:28:21.23\00:28:25.67
I WAS TOUCHED WITH THE
INTRODUCTORY VIDEO THAT YOU HAVE
00:28:25.67\00:28:30.14
FOR 3ABN TODAY.
TOUCHING THE LIVES OF PEOPLE.
00:28:30.14\00:28:32.97
IN THAT IS FOLLOWING
IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF JESUS.
00:28:32.97\00:28:38.71
SO AS WE BEGAN TO
THINK, HOW CAN WE DO THIS?
00:28:38.71\00:28:42.25
THEN WE BECAME MORE AWARE OF
THE OPPORTUNITY OF HOW CHURCH
00:28:42.25\00:28:46.15
MEMBERS ALL OVER THE WORLD COULD
BE JUST AS INVOLVED IN OUTREACH
00:28:46.15\00:28:50.56
AND NOT LEAVE IT JUST TO THE
PAID CLERGY OR TO THOSE WHO ARE
00:28:50.56\00:28:56.00
WORKING, QUOTES, WORKING FOR THE
CHURCH BECAUSE WE ALL WORK FOR
00:28:56.00\00:29:00.07
THE LORD AND FOR THE CHURCH.
NOW TOTAL MEMBER INVOLVEMENT,
00:29:00.07\00:29:05.54
THAT ACTUAL PRAISE CAME OUT OF
DISCUSSION, OUT OF PRAYER, OUT
00:29:05.54\00:29:09.28
OF TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT
IT WAS THAT GOD WOULD HAVE US
00:29:09.28\00:29:14.02
PORTRAY TO OUR CHURCH MEMBERS.
WELL, I HAVE GIVEN A LITTLE BIT
00:29:14.02\00:29:17.69
OF A FOUNDATION. THAT
STARTED TO DEVELOP JUST
00:29:17.69\00:29:22.16
AFTER THE GENERAL CONFERENCE
SESSION OF 2015, AND WE WERE
00:29:22.16\00:29:27.86
ABLE TO SECURE THE WONDERFUL
SERVICES OF DUANE AND KATHY
00:29:27.86\00:29:34.47
McKEY, DUANE HAS BEEN
THE SABBATH SCHOOL'S GENERAL
00:29:34.47\00:29:44.91
DIRECTOR, AND HAS ASSUMED THE
PRESIDENT OF WORLD RADIO, BUT
00:29:44.91\00:29:48.42
STILL MAINTAINS THE TITLE OF
ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT FOR
00:29:48.42\00:29:53.42
TOTAL MEMBER INVOLVEMENT.
KATHY WORKS WITH US IN OUR
00:29:53.42\00:29:55.72
PRESIDENTIAL TEAM, HELPING
TO ORGANIZE MEDIA ACTIVITIES,
00:29:55.72\00:29:59.96
OUTREACH, AND OF COURSE,
PUBLIC EVANGELISTIC ACTIVITIES.
00:29:59.96\00:30:04.83
AND THIS TEAM HAS BEEN CONNECTED
WITH MANY OTHERS WHO ARE HELPING
00:30:04.83\00:30:09.77
TO MAKE TOTAL MEMBER
INVOLVEMENT REALLY WORK.
00:30:09.77\00:30:12.51
NOW I HAVE TALKED A LOT HERE,
AND I THINK OTHERS NEED TO JUMP
00:30:12.51\00:30:16.18
IN HERE, BUT THAT'S GIVING YOU
JUST A LITTLE BEGINNING AS TO
00:30:16.18\00:30:20.85
HOW THINGS STARTED WITH
TOTAL MEMBER INVOLVEMENT.
00:30:20.85\00:30:24.05
I DON'T KNOW, DUANE, MAYBE YOU
WANT TO SHARE JUST A LITTLE BIT
00:30:24.05\00:30:26.92
MORE AS TO HOW THIS DEVELOPED
AND WHAT IT HAS BECOME.
00:30:26.92\00:30:31.09
AND LET ME STRESS
AGAIN IN A VERY POWERFUL WAY.
00:30:31.09\00:30:34.60
THIS IS NOT JUST PUBLIC
EVANGELISM, IT IS EVERYONE DOING
00:30:34.60\00:30:38.87
SOMETHING FOR JESUS. I
DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR TALENT
00:30:38.87\00:30:42.80
IS. I DON'T CARE
WHAT YOUR STATION
00:30:42.80\00:30:45.01
IN LIFE IS, WHAT YOUR
ECONOMIC CONDITION IS, WHAT YOUR
00:30:45.01\00:30:48.94
EDUCATIONAL LEVEL IS, EVERYBODY
CAN DO SOMETHING FOR JESUS, AND
00:30:48.94\00:30:52.38
THAT'S WHAT TOTAL MEMBER
INVOLVEMENT IS ALL ABOUT -- ALL
00:30:52.38\00:30:55.32
ABOUT, AND WE'LL TELL YOU A
LITTLE MORE SPECIFICALLY ABOUT
00:30:55.32\00:31:00.42
ROMANIA AND OTHER THINGS.
DUANE DO YOU WANT TO SHARE ABOUT
00:31:00.42\00:31:03.73
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THAT?
>> JUST A BIT PASTOR WILSON,
00:31:03.73\00:31:09.26
TED, JUST BEFORE THE GENERAL
CONFERENCE SESSION IN SAN
00:31:09.26\00:31:13.37
ANTONIO, PATHWAY TO HEALTH HAD A
HUGE MEDICAL EVENT, FULL MEDICAL
00:31:13.37\00:31:18.64
SERVICES, THE ALAMO DOME WAS EP
ENCIRCLED BY PEOPLE WHO CAME IN.
00:31:18.64\00:31:24.85
AND HEALTH SEMINARS, COOKING
SCHOOLS, ET CETERA, AND THEN
00:31:24.85\00:31:28.48
MAJOR EVANGELISTIC
CAMPAIGNS TOOK PLACE.
00:31:28.48\00:31:31.75
AND WE HAD SIX BRAND NEW
CHURCHES RIGHT ON THE HEELSOVER
00:31:31.75\00:31:35.46
THAT. WE WENT TO ZIMBABWE.
00:31:35.46\00:31:38.19
AND WE HAD
ANOTHER BIG MEDICAL EVENT.
00:31:38.19\00:31:42.66
900 EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS ACROSS
THE COUNTRY, AND WITH MORE THAN
00:31:42.66\00:31:46.50
20,000
BAPTISMS, I BELIEVE THERE.
00:31:46.50\00:31:48.20
AND WE GO SO EXCITED BY
HAVING EVERYONE DOING SOMETHING.
00:31:48.20\00:31:53.31
LIKE YOU SAID, MAYBE YOU COULD
CALL IT A TOTAL MEDIA EVENT TOO.
00:31:53.31\00:31:59.31
ALL OF US INVOLVED
DOING SOMETHING FOR JESUS.
00:31:59.31\00:32:02.62
I THINK THAT GAVE US SUCH
A VISION THAT THE WHOLE WORLD
00:32:02.62\00:32:06.89
CHURCH COULD BE INVOLVED, AND
SOMETHING EXCITING AND SPECIAL
00:32:06.89\00:32:09.99
COULD HAPPEN. I WAS
JUST RUNNING SOME NUMBERS,
00:32:09.99\00:32:14.30
AND CA THIS IS THRILLING.
THIS YEAR, THE COUNT NOW IS UP
00:32:14.30\00:32:19.23
TO ABOUT 138 THOUSAND TMI
EVENTS ALL AROUND THE WORLD.
00:32:19.23\00:32:26.98
>> THAT'S
EVENTS. >> THAT'S EVENTS.
00:32:26.98\00:32:32.88
YES, AND FROM THAT YOU WILL
HAVE BAPTISMS, WITH ALL KINDS OF
00:32:32.88\00:32:37.85
OUTREACH EVENTS, AND BIBLE
STUDIES AND SEMINARS, AND THEN
00:32:37.85\00:32:42.12
THEY CLIMAX INTO EVANGELISTIC
SERIES, AND THERE ARE 138,000
00:32:42.12\00:32:47.30
THAT WILL TAKE PLACE THIS YEAR.
>> LET'S JUST BREAK IN, IN THE
00:32:47.30\00:32:53.10
BEGINNING, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT
TMI, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT TOTAL
00:32:53.10\00:32:57.07
MEMBER INVOLVEMENT, TMI, PEOPLE
WERE SAYING, OH, BUT THAT'S TOO
00:32:57.07\00:33:01.88
MUCH INFORMATION. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:33:01.88\00:33:03.68
>> AND PEOPLE JOKING ABOUT
IT.-WHAT DID YOUNG PEOPLE SAY
WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT TMI?
00:33:03.68\00:33:10.09
>> SOME YOUNG PEOPLE CAME UP TO
US AND THEY SAID THERE IS A BOOK
00:33:10.09\00:33:14.29
THAT IS WRITTEN, IT IS
CALLED THE STICKY PRINCIPLE.
00:33:14.29\00:33:19.26
AND YOU COULDN'T
HAVE PICKED A BETTER TERM.
00:33:19.26\00:33:23.67
TMI EVERYBODY WILL REMEMBER
IT. THE STICKY PRINCIPLE.
00:33:23.67\00:33:28.77
>> AND ACTUALLY IT HAS
BECOME -- AS WE'LL DEVELOP HERE
00:33:28.77\00:33:32.74
OVER THE NEXT HOUR -- IT HAS
BECOME A FANTASTIC INITIATIVE,
00:33:32.74\00:33:37.78
NOT BY THE GENERAL CONFERENCE,
BUT BY -- I BELIEVE HEAVEN
00:33:37.78\00:33:43.25
ITSELF BECAUSE THIS
WAS GOD'S ORIGINAL PLAN.
00:33:43.25\00:33:45.62
>> RIGHT. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:33:45.62\00:33:47.36
>> TMI, WE'RE GETTING REPORTS
FROM ALL ACROSS THE GLOBE HOW
00:33:47.36\00:33:51.39
PEOPLE ARE GETTING INVOLVED, HOW
THEY FEEL EMPOWERED NOW TO BE
00:33:51.39\00:33:55.90
PART OF THIS LAST GREAT
PUSH BEFORE JESUS SOON COMING.
00:33:55.90\00:33:59.87
ANYWAY THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OF
THE INFORMATION ASHE HOW TMI GOT
00:33:59.87\00:34:05.37
STARTED, AND ALSO THE EXCITING
THING THAT TMI IS NOT SOMETHING
00:34:05.37\00:34:09.34
THAT HAS TO BE INITIATED BY
SIMPLY AN OFFICE, BUT A LOCAL
00:34:09.34\00:34:17.55
CHURCH. EVERYBODY
CAN SIMPLY PLAN HOW TO
00:34:17.55\00:34:19.69
BECOME INVOLVED AND
DO SOMETHING FOR JESUS.
00:34:19.69\00:34:23.76
>> I MIGHT JUST INTERJECT HERE.
THIS PATH SABBATH WE WERE IN A
00:34:23.76\00:34:31.13
CHURCH IN THE ELCOT CITY CHURCH.
AND THE YOUNG PEOPLE PACKAGED
00:34:31.13\00:34:38.14
THESE SACKS TO GIVE OUT TO
PEOPLE THAT ARE -- ARE ON THE
00:34:38.14\00:34:42.11
STREET CORNERS, NEEDING FOOD.
SO WE ACTUALLY -- THEY WERE IN A
00:34:42.11\00:34:49.48
WONDERFUL -- WONDERFULLY
PRESENTED WAY OUTSIDE OF THE
00:34:49.48\00:34:54.76
CHURCH DOOR THAT
PEOPLE COULD JUST TAKE.
00:34:54.76\00:34:59.59
AND ALSO, THE WONDERFUL WAY THAT
THEY WERE REACHING OUT TO THEIR
00:34:59.59\00:35:03.77
NEIGHBORS WAS THEY MADE THESE
BAGS, BEAUTIFUL BAGS, WITH GIFTS
00:35:03.77\00:35:08.77
AND INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHURCH
TO TAKE TO THE NEIGHBORS THAT
00:35:08.77\00:35:13.38
HAD JUST MOVED AROUND THE CHURCH
THIS LAST MONTH, SO THEY ARE
00:35:13.38\00:35:17.98
DOING THIS. THE --
THE NEW NEIGHBORS THAT
00:35:17.98\00:35:20.42
HAVE COME TO THE AREA WITHIN
THE PAST MONTH, THEY ARE GETTING
00:35:20.42\00:35:26.42
INVITATIONS FROM THE -- THE
MEMBERS TO COME AND JOIN THE
00:35:26.42\00:35:30.29
CHURCH, TO VISIT THINK CHURCH.
>> AND THIS IS ON THE HEELS OF A
00:35:30.29\00:35:33.90
SERIES OF MEETINGS, AND
IT JUST CONTINUES EVANGELISM.
00:35:33.90\00:35:38.87
AND THAT'S WHAT
THIS IS ALL ABOUT.
00:35:38.87\00:35:42.24
REACHING THE FRIENDS AND
NEIGHBORS IN THE COMMUNITY FOR
00:35:42.24\00:35:46.11
JESUS. >> AND IF I
CAN SAY A LITTLE BIT
00:35:46.11\00:35:47.81
OF WHAT THE CHURCH IS DOING
AND WHAT THE COUNTRY IS DOING.
00:35:47.81\00:35:53.75
IN PANAMA, IN THAT CONFERENCE,
THEY HAVE BEEN INVOLVING THE
00:35:53.75\00:35:58.55
YOUTH FOR MANY TIMES NOW.
THEY GO ON -- ON THE STREETS.
00:35:58.55\00:36:03.36
THEY GIVE LITERATURE.
THEY ALSO GO AND CLEAN SCHOOLS
00:36:03.36\00:36:09.26
AND PARKS AND PAINT THE SCHOOLS,
EVEN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, NOT
00:36:09.26\00:36:15.00
JUST THE ADVENTIST. THIS
SABBATH THEY ARE HONORING
00:36:15.00\00:36:20.58
THE WOMEN'S MINISTRY. THEY
ARE -- THE DELAYS -- LADIES
00:36:20.58\00:36:27.15
ARE ALL COOKING AND MAKING FOOD
PACKAGES, HOT FOOD, NOT JUST A
00:36:27.15\00:36:33.05
BAG. AND THEY ARE GOING TO THE
00:36:33.05\00:36:35.19
HOSPITAL AND GIVE TO THE MANY
PEOPLE THAT ARE TAKING CARE OF
00:36:35.19\00:36:38.39
THE PATIENTS IN THERE, THAT
ARE COMING INTO THE HOSPITAL.
00:36:38.39\00:36:40.86
BECAUSE IN OTHER COUNTRIES, NOT
JUST THE MEDICAL PERSONNEL TAKES
00:36:40.86\00:36:45.27
CARE OF THE -- THE PATIENTS,
THE FAMILY HAS TO BE INVOLVED.
00:36:45.27\00:36:48.97
THE FAMILY HAS TO COME AND
-- AND STAY PRACTICALLY, YOU
00:36:48.97\00:36:52.71
KNOW, 24 HOURS A DAY, SO THEY
HAVE TO TAKE TURNS, AND ONE OF
00:36:52.71\00:36:59.01
OUR -- OUR GENERAL MANAGER
AND HIS WIFE ACTUALLY ARE THERE
00:36:59.01\00:37:05.29
RIGHT NOW IN PUERTO
RICO. THEY ARE TAKING CARE OF
00:37:05.29\00:37:09.16
THE -- THE -- THE -- ONE OF
THE MEMBERS IN THE FAMILY, DOING
00:37:09.16\00:37:13.46
THIS. SO THAT'S
-- I --I THINK THAT'S
00:37:13.46\00:37:16.13
MARVELOUS THE WAY THEY
ARE -- AND SO THE CHURCH IS
00:37:16.13\00:37:19.60
BECOMING REALLY RESPECTED
AND -- AND -- AND PROMOTED, AND
00:37:19.60\00:37:23.51
SHOWING WHAT WE REALLY DO, SO
THAT IT'S NOT JUST THE ADULTING,
00:37:23.51\00:37:27.81
BUT THE -- THE STUDENTS, THE
CHILDREN ARE, THE LITTLE ONES
00:37:27.81\00:37:33.72
ARE, THE LITTLE ONES WILL BE
PRAYING WITH THE PEOPLE THAT ARE
00:37:33.72\00:37:37.25
COMING AND GETTING THE
FOOD. SO I THINK THAT'S REALLY
00:37:37.25\00:37:41.42
WONDERFUL. >> FOOD
EVANGELISM, I'M SPEAKING
00:37:41.42\00:37:44.29
AT SOUTHERN ASI NEXT MONTH, AND
ONE OF THE THINGS I DID IN MY
00:37:44.29\00:37:50.53
MIN -- MINISTRY, I
FELT DEEDS OF KINDNESS.
00:37:50.53\00:37:56.84
WHEN I GOT TO A CERTAIN
CHURCH THERE WAS A LADY, AND HER
00:37:56.84\00:38:01.18
HUSBAND WAS A NOTORIOUS
ADVENTIST HATER, BUT WHEN HER
00:38:01.18\00:38:05.65
HUSBAND GOT ILL, THE CHURCH
PUT ITS ARMS OF LOVE AROUND HER.
00:38:05.65\00:38:12.39
AND WHEN HER HUSBAND PASSED, ONE
MEMBER DECIDED SHE WAS GOING TO
00:38:12.39\00:38:17.33
PRACTICE FISH EVANGELISM.
SHE WOULD MAKE A COMPLETE FISH
00:38:17.33\00:38:21.00
DINNER FOR THIS
WOMAN AND HER TWO SONS.
00:38:21.00\00:38:26.63
EVERYTHING, SHE BROUGHT IT.
SHE SAT IT DOWN, AND SHE JUST
00:38:26.63\00:38:31.01
FED THE FAMILY. NOT
EVEN TALKING ABOUT THE
00:38:31.01\00:38:35.34
SABBATH, JUST FOOD, FOR SIX
WEEKS, AND AFTER THE SIX WEEKS
00:38:35.34\00:38:39.45
THE LADY SAID WHEN YOU GO TO
[ INAUDIBLE ] TAKE ME WITH YOU.
00:38:39.45\00:38:43.89
A MONTH LATER SHE WAS BAPTIZED,
A MONTH LATER SHE WAS HEAD
00:38:43.89\00:38:51.99
DEACONIST.
ANYBODY CAN DO A DEED OF
00:38:51.99\00:38:53.90
KINDNESS. YOU CAN
THINK OF SOMETHING TO
00:38:53.90\00:38:55.96
DO, AND THAT OPENS
THE DOOR FOR OTHER THINGS.
00:38:55.96\00:38:59.67
TMI CAN BE
PRACTICED ON SO MANY LEVELS.
00:38:59.67\00:39:03.41
>> WE SAW THAT
LAST YEAR IN RWANDA.
00:39:03.41\00:39:06.27
PEOPLE DOING ALL KINDS
OF OUTREACH EVENTS, BUILDING
00:39:06.27\00:39:09.61
HOUSES, GIVING COWS AND GOATS
AWAY TO NEEDY PEOPLE, AND ALL
00:39:09.61\00:39:14.42
KINDS OF WONDERFUL EVENTS,
ADVENTS PRODUCTS, AND THE
00:39:14.42\00:39:19.22
EXCITING THING WAS AT THE END,
AT THE END, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE
00:39:19.22\00:39:22.69
GOT THERE, TED, THEY
-- THEY WERE SAYING TO US,
00:39:22.69\00:39:27.23
WE'RE -- WE'RE GOING TO
HAVE MAYBE 60,000 BAPTISMS.
00:39:27.23\00:39:31.83
NOW WE HAD WORKED IN AFRICA,
AND I BECAME A NON-BELIEVER.
00:39:31.83\00:39:37.81
I BECAME A MEMBER OF
THE CAN'T BE DONE CLUB.
00:39:37.81\00:39:39.94
IT'S NEVER GOING TO
HAPPEN. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:39:39.94\00:39:42.34
>> BUT SOME CHURCH MEMBERS
STARTED PRAYING.-AND IT BUILT
00:39:42.34\00:39:47.82
AND BUILT AND BUILT.
AND THEY TOLD ME, LATER THEY
00:39:47.82\00:39:50.32
SAID WE ARE PRAYING FOR A
HUNDRED THOUSAND BAPTISMS.
00:39:50.32\00:39:53.59
AND I THOUGHT IT'S
NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN.
00:39:53.59\00:39:57.36
BUT BY SEPTEMBER THERE
WERE -- >> OVER 110,000.
00:39:57.36\00:40:02.53
OVER 110,000 BAPTISMS. >>
THAT'S THE LARGEST BAPTISM IN
00:40:02.53\00:40:07.40
THE HISTORY OF THE ADVENTIST
CHURCH, AND PROBABLY THE LARGEST
00:40:07.40\00:40:11.47
IN THE HISTORY OF
THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
00:40:11.47\00:40:13.98
>> AND THAT DEMONSTRATED TO US
HOW CHURCH MEMBERS WHEN THEY ARE
00:40:13.98\00:40:17.98
EMPOWERED TO BECOME EQUAL
PARTNERS IN EVANGELISM AND TAKE
00:40:17.98\00:40:22.08
THE LEAD, HOW IT JUST EXPLODED.
THEY HAD TMI TIES, SCARVES,
00:40:22.08\00:40:30.83
HATS -- >> UMBRELLAS.
00:40:30.83\00:40:34.30
>> UMBRELLAS. BUT ALL
OF THAT WOULD NOT MAKE
00:40:34.30\00:40:38.83
YOU A REALLY EFFECTIVE TMI
WORKER, UNLESS THE HOLY SPIRIT
00:40:38.83\00:40:43.51
WAS WORKING IN YOU
AND YOU RELATE TO PEOPLE.
00:40:43.51\00:40:46.21
AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.
THEY BECAME SO ENGROSSED IN THIS
00:40:46.21\00:40:50.25
OUTREACH ACTIVITY, THAT THE HOLY
SPIRIT BLESSED IN A POWERFUL
00:40:50.25\00:40:56.69
WAY. AND 3ABN INTERVIEWED US FOR
00:40:56.69\00:40:59.95
RWANDA, AND THAT'S WHERE CA AND
IRMA GOT PULLED INTO ROMANIA,
00:40:59.95\00:41:05.89
AND WE ARE SO DELIGHTED YOU PART
OF ROMANIA, SOME OF THE FOLKS
00:41:05.89\00:41:11.47
WATCHING THEY MAY WONDER
WHY DO WE HAVE SPECIFIC PLACES?
00:41:11.47\00:41:15.70
TMI TAKES PLACE EVERYWHERE.
WHAT IRMA SAID WAS REALLY
00:41:15.70\00:41:19.51
INTERESTING ABOUT WHAT IS
HAPPENING IN PANAMA, AND HOW
00:41:19.51\00:41:22.71
PEOPLE ARE DOING DEEDS OF
KINDNESS TO HELP PEOPLE, AND ALL
00:41:22.71\00:41:26.38
OVER THE PLACE, TMI
HAS NOW SPUN DERIVATIVES.
00:41:26.38\00:41:31.89
WE HAVE TOTAL
STUDENT INVOLVEMENT.
00:41:31.89\00:41:34.39
I JUST RECEIVED INFORMATION FROM
THE PRESIDENT OF OUR NORTHERN
00:41:34.39\00:41:40.40
ASIA PACIFIC REGION, AND HE SAID
ALL 100 STUDENTSOVER THE TAIWAN
00:41:40.40\00:41:46.17
ADVENTIST COLLEGE ARE GOING TO
GO OUT AND PARTICIPATE IN A TMI
00:41:46.17\00:41:52.21
EVANGELISTIC EVENT. AND
THEY ARE SO EXCITED ABOUT
00:41:52.21\00:41:55.08
IT. TOTAL STUDENT
INVOLVEMENT, TOTAL
00:41:55.08\00:41:57.28
WOMEN INVOLVEMENT, TOTAL
CHILDREN INVOLVEMENT, TOTAL
00:41:57.28\00:42:00.52
YOUTH INVOLVEMENT, TOTAL
EVERYTHING, EVERYBODY DOING
00:42:00.52\00:42:03.28
SOMETHING FOR JESUS. >>
TOTAL PASTOR INVOLVEMENT.
00:42:03.28\00:42:08.72
[ LAUGHTER ] >> ABSOLUTELY.
00:42:08.72\00:42:09.99
WE'RE ALL TO BE
TOGETHER. >> YEAH.
00:42:09.99\00:42:11.86
>> GOING BACK TO RWANDA, AND WE
WERE VERY GRATEFUL TO 3ABN FOR
00:42:11.86\00:42:18.03
INTERVIEWING US ABOUT THAT.
BUT ROMANIA WAS THE FOCUS FOR US
00:42:18.03\00:42:22.64
THIS YEAR, AND WE HAVE
MANY OTHER PLACES THAT TMI IS
00:42:22.64\00:42:26.61
FOCUSING ON, BUT WE HAVE A
FEW PLACES WHERE THE GENERAL
00:42:26.61\00:42:30.48
CONFERENCE ITSELF IS ACTUALLY
WORKING IN A VERY SPECIFIC WAY.
00:42:30.48\00:42:37.42
AND ROMANIA WAS THE PLACE WHERE
WE CHOSE TO WORK ON FOR THIS
00:42:37.42\00:42:42.52
YEAR, IN 2017. AND I
HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS
00:42:42.52\00:42:45.86
LITTLE STORY. I SAID
I'M COMING TO ROMANIA IN
00:42:45.86\00:42:51.70
JUNE, AND THEY SAID, WELL,
PASTOR CAN YOU COME IN FEBRUARY
00:42:51.70\00:42:55.70
OR OCTOBER? BECAUSE
THOSE ARE THE MONTHS
00:42:55.70\00:42:57.81
WHEN PEOPLE WILL COME OUT.
IN JUNE IT'S GOING TO BE TOO
00:42:57.81\00:43:03.08
NICE AND PEOPLE WILL BE
STAYING OUT IN THEIR FIELDS.
00:43:03.08\00:43:05.65
COME IN FEBRUARY OR OCTOBER.
I SAID NO, NO, I HAVE SET ASIDE
00:43:05.65\00:43:12.22
JUNE TO COME. THEN
WHEN I WAS IN RWANDA, THE
00:43:12.22\00:43:15.02
LAST NIGHT OF BEING IN RWANDA,
I WAS ACTUALLY AT THE AIRPORT, I
00:43:15.02\00:43:20.40
MET A ROMANIAN INDIVIDUAL WHO
HAD BEEN HELPING US IN RWANDA
00:43:20.40\00:43:25.80
HOLDING MEETINGS, AND HE LIVES
IN THE UNITED STATES, AND I WAS
00:43:25.80\00:43:30.91
EXPLAINING TO HIM, I'M GOING TO
ROMANIA NEXT YEAR, AND I'M GOING
00:43:30.91\00:43:34.94
IN JUNE. AND HE
SAID THAT'S NOT THE RIGHT
00:43:34.94\00:43:37.78
TIME TO GO. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:43:37.78\00:43:39.01
>> THEN AND THERE I KIND OF GOT
THE MESSAGE, I NEEDED TO GO IN
00:43:39.01\00:43:44.55
FEBRUARY. SO WE
REARRANGED THE PROGRAM IS
00:43:44.55\00:43:47.69
BIT, WORKED THINGS OUT, AND
MANY OF US WENT IN FEBRUARY TO
00:43:47.69\00:43:53.43
ROMANIA, IN THE
COLD WINTER MONTHS.
00:43:53.43\00:43:55.23
NOW MAYBE THIS IS A GOOD
OPPORTUNITY, CA TO SEE WHAT YOU
00:43:55.23\00:43:59.60
AND IRMA THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENED, AND DUANE AND KATHY
00:43:59.60\00:44:03.47
CAN SHARE, AND WE CAN, BECAUSE
THIS IS WHAT -- YOU KNOW, YOU
00:44:03.47\00:44:06.91
HAVE ASKED US TO DO IN
TERMS OF SHARING ABOUT ROMANIA.
00:44:06.91\00:44:10.51
IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AN INCREDIBLE
EXPERIENCE, AND I COULD GO ON
00:44:10.51\00:44:14.78
FOR THE WHOLE PROGRAM TALKING
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO ME, AND
00:44:14.78\00:44:18.05
NANCY COULD. BUT I
NEED TO BE QUIET NOW FOR A
00:44:18.05\00:44:21.26
WHILE AND LET YOU ALL
TALK. >> I THINK ITS SO COUNTER
00:44:21.26\00:44:25.63
INTUITIVE -- I'M
FROM BUFFALO, NEW YORK.
00:44:25.63\00:44:28.23
SO I KNOW COLD AND SNOW. MY
PASTOR NEVER WORE A COAT THE
00:44:28.23\00:44:33.30
WHOLE TIME WE WERE THERE.
HE WOULD PICK US UP AND DRIVE
00:44:33.30\00:44:37.54
US, AND NEVER WORE A COAT.
AND HER PASTOR NEVER WORE A
00:44:37.54\00:44:45.91
COAT. THEY WOULD
COME TO PICK US UP
00:44:45.91\00:44:48.62
AND DRIVE QUITE A WHILE.
AND HE HAD NO HEAT IN THE CAR.
00:44:48.62\00:44:51.72
AND I SAID THIS CAR
DOES HAVE HEAT, RIGHT?
00:44:51.72\00:44:55.09
HE SAID, YEAH, IT
DOES. I SAID THEN TURN IT ON.
00:44:55.09\00:44:59.56
[ LAUGHTER ] >>
AND WONDERFUL FELLOW.
00:44:59.56\00:45:01.20
WE GOT ALONG VERY, VERY WELL.
BUT COLD DOESN'T BOTHER THEM,
00:45:01.20\00:45:05.97
THAT'S A GOOD TIME OF
YEAR TO HAVE EVANGELISM.
00:45:05.97\00:45:10.34
I MUST BLAME KATHY AND NANCY
FOR CAUSING ME MANY SLEEPLESS
00:45:10.34\00:45:15.44
NIGHTS. MY WIFE
HAS RESTLESS LEGS, AND
00:45:15.44\00:45:19.15
THAT MEANS AT
NIGHT HER LEGS JUST KICK.
00:45:19.15\00:45:21.75
AND WE HAVE A NICE BIG BED SO
WHEN SHE IS IN A KICKING MOOD,
00:45:21.75\00:45:28.26
SHE CAN KICK FREELY. AND
ONE NIGHT I GOT ONE SWIFT
00:45:28.26\00:45:32.36
KICK, AND I THINK IT
WAS BECAUSE SHE WAS WORRIED.
00:45:32.36\00:45:35.86
AND I SAID I'M GOING TO
BLAME KATHY AND NANCY FOR THIS,
00:45:35.86\00:45:40.97
BECAUSE YOU GOT HER INTO THIS.
BUT ONCE SHE SETTLED INTO IT,
00:45:40.97\00:45:46.34
SHE FOUND OUT THAT EVANGELISM
IS NOT ONLY WONDERFUL, IT'S
00:45:46.34\00:45:52.31
ADDICTIVE. >> AMEN.
00:45:52.31\00:45:53.45
>> AND SHE DID A FINE JOB.
>> I JUST MARVELLED HOW GOD PUTS
00:45:53.45\00:45:58.35
YOU IN PLACES AND SITUATIONS
THAT YOU WOULD NEVER CHOOSE TO
00:45:58.35\00:46:02.92
DO ON YOUR OWN, AND NEVER, NEVER
THOUGHT IN MY LIFE THAT -- TO
00:46:02.92\00:46:09.90
SEE MYSELF IN -- PREACHING IN
A CHURCH FOR SO MANY DAYS IN ONE
00:46:09.90\00:46:14.50
CHURCH ALONE, AND I LIKE
TO BE IN THE BACKGROUND, MUCH
00:46:14.50\00:46:19.91
COMFORTABLE THAN AT THE FRONT OF
THINGS, BUT WHEN YOU TOLD ME AND
00:46:19.91\00:46:25.51
KATHY, YOU SHOULD COME
AND DO -- DO A MEETING.
00:46:25.51\00:46:29.08
I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, WOW, YOU
KNOW, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS.
00:46:29.08\00:46:35.49
BUT THEN I STARTED
REMEMBERING -- GOING WITH CA TO
00:46:35.49\00:46:39.33
MANY PLACES, AND HE ALWAYS
HAS THE SPEAKING AND THE -- YOU
00:46:39.33\00:46:45.10
KNOW, THE PRINCIPAL JOB TO DO.
AND I STAYED BACK AND I'M HAPPY
00:46:45.10\00:46:52.14
TO. BUT THE MORE
I HAVE DONE THAT, I
00:46:52.14\00:46:54.41
KEPT THINKING MAYBE THERE IS
SOMETHING MORE FOR ME TO DO, BUT
00:46:54.41\00:46:59.15
NOTHING IN FRONT,
I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW?
00:46:59.15\00:47:02.02
IN THE BACKGROUND. BUT
WHEN -- ACTUALLY EVEN WHEN
00:47:02.02\00:47:06.42
NANCY AND KATHY ENCOURAGED
ME, I WAS -- AND I SAID OKAY.
00:47:06.42\00:47:10.76
AND THEN I WAS THINKING,
OH, MY GOODNESS, WHAT DID I DO?
00:47:10.76\00:47:15.63
THEN I WAS NERVOUS FOR THE REST
OF THE TIME THINKING AND -- AND
00:47:15.63\00:47:21.34
TRYING TO PREPARE, AND
HOW AM I GOING TO DO THAT?
00:47:21.34\00:47:26.24
AND THE LORD SAID IT'S
MY JOB. IT'S NOT YOURS.
00:47:26.24\00:47:29.61
SO I SAID, OKAY.
HE WILL DO THE WORK.
00:47:29.61\00:47:32.98
SO WHATEVER HE CAN DO
THROUGH ME, IT WILL BE DONE.
00:47:32.98\00:47:36.52
AND IT WAS A REAL BLESSING
BECAUSE IT -- I -- I'M JUST
00:47:36.52\00:47:42.92
THANKFUL TO THE LORD THAT HE
ALWAYS PUTS YOU IN A PLACE THAT
00:47:42.92\00:47:46.59
YOU CAN GROW SPIRITUALLY, AND
THE PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH WERE
00:47:46.59\00:47:50.27
JUST SO KIND, AND THE PASTOR,
AND I KNOW I DIDN'T DO THE JOB
00:47:50.27\00:47:54.84
THAT PERHAPS THEY EXPECTED AND
ALL BECAUSE MY HUSBAND IS THE
00:47:54.84\00:48:01.84
EXPERT IN THE PREACHING,
BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE
00:48:01.84\00:48:05.45
BLESSED, AND I DEFINITELY WAS
BLESSED, BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE
00:48:05.45\00:48:09.92
HUMBLE AND WHEN YOUR MIND
FOCUSES ON THAT YOU CAN DO WHAT
00:48:09.92\00:48:13.36
THE LORD IS SAYING, YES,
YOU CAN DO, BECAUSE IT'S ME.
00:48:13.36\00:48:17.96
IT JUST DRAWS YOU CLOSER TO HIM
AND JUST START MAKING CHANGES,
00:48:17.96\00:48:22.10
AND YOU START FEELING THE
CHANGES IN THE HEART THAT THE
00:48:22.10\00:48:26.63
LORD IS DOING THROUGH THIS WORK.
>> AND ROMANIA IS EUROPE, AND
00:48:26.63\00:48:34.48
KATHY AND I ORGANIZING
THE MEETINGS, WE KEPT GETTING
00:48:34.48\00:48:37.65
MESSAGES BACK, AND WE WENT OVER
OVER THERE AND WE HEARD THE SAME
00:48:37.65\00:48:41.45
THING FROM LOCAL CHURCH
LEADERS THAT -- THAT PROBABLY
00:48:41.45\00:48:45.59
WE -- WE -- PROBABLY -- NOT
-- NOT A LOT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
00:48:45.59\00:48:49.56
WE PROBABLY OUGHT TO HAVE
MEETINGS JUST THREE DAYS A WEEK,
00:48:49.56\00:48:53.50
AND NOT HAVE
THEM SIX DAYS A WEEK.
00:48:53.50\00:48:56.13
PEOPLE WON'T COME DURING
THE WEEK, JUST HAVE THEM ON THE
00:48:56.13\00:49:00.34
WEEKENDS. WE
HEARD THIS OVER AND OVER
00:49:00.34\00:49:02.07
AGAIN. I WOULD
CALL PASTOR STEPHEN,
00:49:02.07\00:49:05.74
WONDERFUL PRESIDENT
OF OUR MISSION THERE.
00:49:05.74\00:49:07.64
>> HE HAS DONE A FABULOUS JOB.
AND HIS TEAM, AND THE ROMANIAN
00:49:07.64\00:49:12.15
UNION, AND THE CONFERENCES,
AMAZING ORGANIZATION, AND
00:49:12.15\00:49:16.58
PREWORK AND BIBLE STUDIES
AND OUTREACH AND EVERYTHING.
00:49:16.58\00:49:20.69
>> YEAH. >> I AGREE.
00:49:20.69\00:49:22.82
>> AND HE TOLD ME WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE 2,017 MEETINGS.
00:49:22.82\00:49:28.03
WE HAD JUST COME FOR
RWANDA, AND WE HAD --
00:49:28.03\00:49:31.50
>> 2,027 THERE. >> I'M
THINKING RWANDA, THIS IS
00:49:31.50\00:49:39.31
EUROPE. I BECAME A
MEMBER OF THE CAN'T
00:49:39.31\00:49:41.34
BE DONE CLUB. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:49:41.34\00:49:42.98
>> BUT RIGHT NOW, IT'S STILL
GOING ON, 2,017 MEETINGS --
00:49:42.98\00:49:47.18
>> MORE. >> MORE NOW.
00:49:47.18\00:49:50.39
THE THRILLING THING, THOUGH, AS
WE CONTINUED THROUGH THE WEEK,
00:49:50.39\00:49:54.46
THE FIRST WEEK AND THE SECOND
-WEEK, MORE AND MORE PEOPLE KEPT
00:49:54.46\00:50:00.03
COMING. ONE PRESIDENT SAID WE
ARE HAVING A REVIVAL IN ROMANIA
00:50:00.03\00:50:05.27
THAT WE HAVEN'T SEEN
BEFORE SINCE THE '90S.
00:50:05.27\00:50:07.80
IT WAS LIKE AFTER
THE FALL OF COMMUNISM.
00:50:07.80\00:50:11.57
>> I BELIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS
MOVING ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY
00:50:11.57\00:50:15.68
OF ROMANIA AND
MANY OTHER COUNTRIES.
00:50:15.68\00:50:17.51
AND THE LORD IS PREPARING HIS
PEOPLE FOR THE LATTER REIGN OF
00:50:17.51\00:50:21.32
THE HOLY SPIRIT. >> OH, YEAH.
00:50:21.32\00:50:23.12
>> I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT.
>> I WAS IN ONE CHURCH THE
00:50:23.12\00:50:28.36
SECOND SABBATH, AND SUE WAS
PREACHING, AND THE CHURCH IS
00:50:28.36\00:50:31.83
PACKED, JUST FULL OF
PEOPLE. AND I WAS TALKING TO HER
00:50:31.83\00:50:34.36
LATER -- WELL, I ASKED THE
PEOPLE, I SAID HAVE YOU HEARD
00:50:34.36\00:50:40.84
ABOUT THIS ON ADVENTIST RADIO,
AND ALL OF THE HANDS WENT UP.
00:50:40.84\00:50:46.74
AND I TALKED TO SUE, AND
I SAID WHAT IS HAPPENING?
00:50:46.74\00:50:50.05
AND SHE SAID THEY HEAR IT ON
TV AND THE RADIO, AND THEN THE
00:50:50.05\00:50:53.85
NEIGHBORS INVITE THEM.
LAST NIGHT WE WERE PACKED OUT,
00:50:53.85\00:50:57.02
AND THEN MORE PEOPLE
CAME IN THE BACK DOOR.
00:50:57.02\00:51:00.09
SO SHE GOT ALL OF THE KIDS AND
PUT THEM ON THE PLATFORM AND HAD
00:51:00.09\00:51:04.73
THEM SIT TLUCH. AND I
SAID SUE, YOU HAVE GOT TO
00:51:04.73\00:51:07.76
TELL THOSE CHURCH MEMBERS TO
STOP BRINGING SO MANY GUESTS.
00:51:07.76\00:51:12.73
[ LAUGHTER ] >>
THAT'S TOTAL MEMBER
00:51:12.73\00:51:14.67
INVOLVEMENT, INVOLVED AND
INVITING THEIR FRIENDS AND
00:51:14.67\00:51:17.34
NEIGHBORS TO
COME TO THE MEETING.
00:51:17.34\00:51:19.87
>> THE GROUP LEADER JUST A
WONDERFUL PERSON, BUT WE RAN
00:51:19.87\00:51:22.98
INTO THE SAME THING. YOU CAME TO
MY CHURCH.-WE WERE AVERAGING 40
00:51:22.98\00:51:29.45
TO 45 VISITORS A NIGHT
IN A FAIRLY SMALL CHURCH.
00:51:29.45\00:51:32.39
AND THEY CAME OUT EVERY NIGHT,
AND THEY STAYED, AND I COME FROM
00:51:32.39\00:51:37.36
A TRADITION WHERE YOU
PREACH AN HOUR AND CHANGE.
00:51:37.36\00:51:39.89
THAT'S JUST A BLACK CHURCH.
SO I WAS TRYING TO TAYLOR THAT
00:51:39.89\00:51:45.03
TO CUT IT DOWN. AND
ONE PERSON GOT ME IN THE
00:51:45.03\00:51:50.21
CORN AND SAID, NO, PREACH.
AND THE PASTOR SAID, NO, FINISH
00:51:50.21\00:51:56.85
YOUR MESSAGE. THEY
ALSO SAID -- THEY SAID THEY
00:51:56.85\00:51:59.08
ARE NOT GOING TO
RESPOND TO WELL TO APPEALS.
00:51:59.08\00:52:05.45
AND THEY DON'T SAY AMEN.
I TOOK THAT AS A PERSONAL
00:52:05.45\00:52:10.89
CHALLENGE. >> THEY SAY AMEAN.
00:52:10.89\00:52:13.43
>> THAT'S RIGHT. WE GOT
THEM SAYING AMEAN IN THE
00:52:13.43\00:52:18.07
MIDDLE OF A SERMON. I GOT
TO THE POINT WHERE I WOULD
00:52:18.07\00:52:21.84
DO THAT, AND
THEY WOULD SAY AMEAN.
00:52:21.84\00:52:25.57
AND THEN I FELT IMPRESSED BY
THE HOLY SPIRIT, MAKE AN APPEAL.
00:52:25.57\00:52:30.51
AND EIGHT RESPONDED. SO
TWO NIGHTS LATER I MADE A
00:52:30.51\00:52:34.75
FULL APPEAL, AND
19 STOOD. >> AMEN.
00:52:34.75\00:52:37.69
>> SO THEY DO RESPOND, AND I
AGREE WITH YOU ELDER WILSON, IT
00:52:37.69\00:52:42.32
WAS A SPIRITUAL SHOT IN
THE ARM FOR THE LOCAL CHURCH.
00:52:42.32\00:52:47.20
YOU COULD SEE THE MOVING OF THE
HOLY SPIRIT AND THE JOY ON THE
00:52:47.20\00:52:50.60
FACES OF PEOPLE, AND TO A
MAN, TO A MEETING, RATHER THAN
00:52:50.60\00:52:57.94
FILTERING DOWN, THEY
GOT STRONGER AS THE MEETINGS
00:52:57.94\00:53:01.38
PROGRESSED. AND
THE CROWD INCREASED.
00:53:01.38\00:53:04.15
AND THERE WAS A JOY THAT JUST
FELT -- YOU COULD FEEL IT WAS
00:53:04.15\00:53:09.95
PALPABLE. IT
WAS JUST A WONDERFUL
00:53:09.95\00:53:12.19
EXPERIENCE. >>
DUANE, I THINK YOU THOUTH
00:53:12.19\00:53:16.29
OUGHT TO EXPLAIN A LITTLE
BIT WHY HAVING MANY MEETINGS,
00:53:16.29\00:53:18.69
COVERING AN ENTIRE COUNTRY IS
SO MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE FROM THAT
00:53:18.69\00:53:22.66
LOCAL CHURCH MEMBER'S STAND
POINT, AND FROM FINAL RESULTS,
00:53:22.66\00:53:26.94
AS -- AS OPPOSED TO HAVING
ONE HUGE, BIG MEETING IN -- IN A
00:53:26.94\00:53:32.44
CENTRAL PART OF THE CITY, NOT
THAT THAT'S BAD, IT'S VERY GOOD.
00:53:32.44\00:53:37.65
WE HAVE USED THAT
IN MANY WAYS. >> SURE.
00:53:37.65\00:53:40.98
>> BUT WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANT
OF HAVING 2,017 MEETINGS ACROSS
00:53:40.98\00:53:50.19
ROMANIA, 1,000 MEETINGS ACROSS
THE COUNTRY OF UKRAINE, AND IN
00:53:50.19\00:53:52.63
MANY OTHER PLACES, THIS KIND
OF AN EMPHASIS ON VERY LOCAL
00:53:52.63\00:53:58.23
MEETINGS? BECAUSE
ALL OF US HELD MEETINGS
00:53:58.23\00:54:00.74
IN PLACES WHERE -- MY LITTLE
CHURCH, AND WHERE NANCY -- NANCY
00:54:00.74\00:54:06.14
HAS GOT TO SHARE IN A
MOMENT, BECAUSE SHE HAS GOT SOME
00:54:06.14\00:54:09.71
EXCITING THINGS. BUT
WE HAD MAYBE 200 PEOPLE
00:54:09.71\00:54:14.85
ATTENDING, AND MANY VISITORS,
BUT WHY IS THAT SO EFFECTIVE IN
00:54:14.85\00:54:18.95
TERMS OF LONG-RANGE PLANNING
AND EVANGELISTIC EFFECTIVENESS.
00:54:18.95\00:54:24.16
>> TOTAL MEMBER INVOLVEMENT,
TMI IS CALENDAR DRIVEN.
00:54:24.16\00:54:28.56
YOU PLAN ALL OF THESE EVENTS
THAT SUPPORT AND BUILD ON EACH
00:54:28.56\00:54:32.37
OTHER, AND THEN BY HAVING
2,017 MEETINGS, IT CRETE AT ITS
00:54:32.37\00:54:37.71
THIS -- IT BUILDS
AND BUILDS THIS SYNERGY.
00:54:37.71\00:54:44.21
AND YOU DRIVE ACROSS ROMANIA,
AND YOU SEE ALL OF THESE SIGNS,
00:54:44.21\00:54:49.35
TMI, TMI, AND ALL AROUND THE
COUNTRY OTER PEOPLE ARE HAVING
00:54:49.35\00:54:54.32
THESE MEETINGS AS WELL.
THERE'S A LIFTING POWER ABOUT
00:54:54.32\00:54:57.69
THE HOLY SPIRIT. THEY
HEAR IT ON THEIR RADIO,
00:54:57.69\00:55:00.56
THEY SEE IT ON TV. THEY
KNOW THE OTHER CHURCHES ARE
00:55:00.56\00:55:03.60
DOING THE SAME THING, AND
IT GIVES THEM COURAGE TO INVITE
00:55:03.60\00:55:08.14
THEIR FRIENDS AND
NEIGHBORS TO COME.
00:55:08.14\00:55:10.74
THIS IS NOT A HUGE COUNTRY, SIZE
OF MICHIGAN, BUT CAN YOU IMAGINE
00:55:10.74\00:55:16.41
HAVING 2,017
MEETINGS IN MICHIGAN?
00:55:16.41\00:55:20.55
AND THEY JUST KEPT BUILDING
AND BUILDING AND BUILDING, AND
00:55:20.55\00:55:24.62
THAT'S WHY PEOPLE
KEPT COMING AND COMING.
00:55:24.62\00:55:26.76
>> WE'RE COMING TO THE TOP OF
THE HOUR, I'M GOING TO KICK IT
00:55:26.76\00:55:31.26
BACK TO THE STUDIO TO DANNY AND
JOHN, BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO TAKE
00:55:31.26\00:55:35.40
US OUT. THEN
WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK
00:55:35.40\00:55:37.57
FOR THE SECOND HOUR, AND WE
HAVE A LOT MORE TO TALK ABOUT.
00:55:37.57\00:55:41.54
>> WE HAVE BEEN SITTING
HERE AMAZED AT WHAT WE HAVE BEEN
00:55:41.54\00:55:45.77
HEARING ABOUT TMI, TOTAL MEMBER
-INVOLVEMENT. I KNOW THE SECOND
00:55:45.77\00:55:49.94
HOUR IS GOING TO OPEN UP MORE
DOORS, BUT JUST TO HEAR THE WORK
00:55:49.94\00:55:54.32
AS IT'S HAPPENING, AND I THINK
YOU FOR THAT PEAK INTO ROMANIA.
00:55:54.32\00:55:57.75
I CAN'T THINK OF FREEZING
EVANGELISM HERE IN AMERICA, BUT
00:55:57.75\00:56:01.29
IT WORKS IN SOME PLACES AND GOD
IS WORKING IN A POWERFUL WAY.
00:56:01.29\00:56:05.86
>> ABSOLUTELY. AND I
SAID WHY DON'T YOU JUST
00:56:05.86\00:56:08.36
TAKE IT AND RUN WITH
THIS, BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE
00:56:08.36\00:56:11.17
THERE -- JUST LIKE WHEN WE WERE
IN LONDON LAST FALL, A LOT OF
00:56:11.17\00:56:15.60
PEOPLE SAID WE WERE LIKE BROTHER
DUANE, PEOPLE WERE ON THE SIDE.
00:56:15.60\00:56:20.74
IT JUST WON'T WORK
IN AREAS LIKE THAT.
00:56:20.74\00:56:25.51
BUT WE DECIDED THE HOLY SPIRIT
WILL WORK IN LONDON AND ANYWHERE
00:56:25.51\00:56:31.29
YOU ASK HIM TO BE THERE.
NOW THIS IS JUST THE FIRST HOUR.
00:56:31.29\00:56:36.93
WE HAVE ANOTHER HOUR. WE
HAVE OTHER GUESTS, I THINK
00:56:36.93\00:56:40.90
DEREK MORRIS IS
GOING TO BE ON ALSO.
00:56:40.90\00:56:42.56
WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE WITH
ELDER WILSON AND NANCY AND CA
00:56:42.56\00:56:50.74
AND IRMA AS WELL. WE
WANT YOU TO CALL EVERYBODY
00:56:50.74\00:56:55.98
AND TELL THEM
TO TUNE IN TO 3ABN.
00:56:55.98\00:56:58.71
WE WANT YOU TO WATCH THIS
PROGRAM BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT IT
00:56:58.71\00:57:02.45
IS ALL ABOUT FOR US.
JESUS SAID GO YE TO ALL THE
00:57:02.45\00:57:07.59
WORLD, BUT BEFORE HE SAID IT, HE
SAID -- SO WE SAY LORD COME INTO
00:57:07.59\00:57:13.90
MY LIFE. THEN HE
SAYS GO AND TELL WHAT I
00:57:13.90\00:57:18.10
HAVE DONE FOR YOU, YOUR GREATEST
ASSET IS YOUR OWN PERSONAL
00:57:18.10\00:57:23.51
TESTIMONY OF WHAT GOD HAS
DONE FOR YOU IN YOUR LIFE.
00:57:23.51\00:57:27.64
AND THAT'S WHAT TOTAL
MEMBER INVOLVEMENT IS ALL ABOUT.
00:57:27.64\00:57:29.58
WE ARE GOING TO TAKE A SHORT
BREAK FOR JUST A MOMENT, BUT
00:57:29.58\00:57:33.95
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK. ¤
00:57:33.95\00:57:35.92
