¤ >> AND WE ARE BACK.
00:00:01.06\00:00:11.34
WE WELCOME YOU ONCE
AGAIN TO 3ABN "TODAY LIVE."
00:00:11.34\00:00:16.11
AND OUR GUESTS ARE THE WONDERFUL
YOUNG PEOPLE -- AND I STILL CALL
00:00:16.11\00:00:20.42
THEM YOUNG -- FROM NAPS.
WE CHANGED OUT JUST A LITTLE
00:00:20.42\00:00:24.39
BIT. A FAMILIAR
FACE, CERTAINLY FOR
00:00:24.39\00:00:26.42
US, FOR -- I DON'T WANT TO SAY
TOO MANY YEARS, BUT FOR A LITTLE
00:00:26.42\00:00:30.76
WHILE NOW, IS DARLA.
SHE IS NOW DARLA PRICE.
00:00:30.76\00:00:34.86
AND THAT IS HER HUSBAND UP THERE
TO HER -- TO HER FAR RIGHT.
00:00:34.86\00:00:39.30
AND GOOD TO YOU HAVE
HERE, MAN. >> THANK YOU.
00:00:39.30\00:00:41.74
>> YOU PICKED A
GOOD-LOOKING GUY.
00:00:41.74\00:00:45.41
PRAISE THE LORD. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:00:45.41\00:00:46.98
>> HOW LONG HAVE
YOU BEEN WITH NAPS.
00:00:46.98\00:00:49.31
>> SINCE THE YEAR
2000. >> A LITTLE WHILE.
00:00:49.31\00:00:51.48
>> YEAH, I KIND OF GOT -- I
REMEMBER WHEN I WAS GOING TO
00:00:51.48\00:00:54.85
COLLEGE, I TOLD THE LORD,
I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING LIKE
00:00:54.85\00:00:58.79
FULFILL PURPOSE,
YOU KNOW, HAVE MEANING.
00:00:58.79\00:01:00.82
>> UH-HUH. >> AND I
HAD BEEN PRAYING, YOU
00:01:00.82\00:01:03.96
KNOW, WHEN I READ THE BIBLE, I
WAS LIKE ARE THESE STORIES REAL?
00:01:03.96\00:01:07.50
>> UH-HUH. >> AND
THEN I JOINED NAPS.
00:01:07.50\00:01:10.90
AND NOT ONLY DID I FIND OUT THAT
THE STORIES WERE REAL IN THE
00:01:10.90\00:01:15.10
BIBLE, BUT I DISCOVERED THAT
THIS WAS JUST LIKE THE PREVIEW.
00:01:15.10\00:01:18.61
ONCE YOU START WORKING FOR THE
LORD, YOU REALIZE THE BIBLE IS
00:01:18.61\00:01:22.41
REALLY JUST THE PREVIEW.
GOD WANTS TO SHOW YOU SO MUCH
00:01:22.41\00:01:26.48
MORE. >> PRAISE THE LORD.
00:01:26.48\00:01:28.12
INCLUDING GIVING
YOU YOUR BUSINESS.
00:01:28.12\00:01:30.72
>> YES, SIR. >> HOW
DID THAT COME ABOUT?
00:01:30.72\00:01:34.09
>> WELL, IT PAYS TO
SERVE JESUS. >> AMEN.
00:01:34.09\00:01:37.56
[ LAUGHTER ] >> WE
BOTH JOINED THE MINISTRY,
00:01:37.56\00:01:40.10
AND THE LORD
TOOK OVER FROM THERE.
00:01:40.10\00:01:42.20
>> YOU HAVE A GREAT
VOICE TOO. KEEP HIM.
00:01:42.20\00:01:45.40
>> YES. >> AND THEN
WE HAVE -- LET'S SEE
00:01:45.40\00:01:49.64
KRISTEN. >> YES.
00:01:49.64\00:01:50.91
>> THIS IS THE ONE OF WHOM WE
HEARD STARTED YOUR SCHOOL WHILE
00:01:50.91\00:02:01.05
YOU WERE STILL
IN SCHOOL. >> YES.
00:02:01.05\00:02:05.09
>> AND THIS IS JADE. >> HI.
00:02:05.09\00:02:09.72
>> KRISTEN IS THE PASTOR O
THE ACADEMY, AND YOU CAN TALK A
00:02:09.72\00:02:13.70
LITTLE BIT ABOUT JADE AND --
>> BEFORE YOU GO INTO THAT -- I
00:02:13.70\00:02:19.03
DON'T WANT HER TO
BECOME A HOOD ORNAMENT.
00:02:19.03\00:02:22.80
MADELINE. >> YES.
00:02:22.80\00:02:23.51
>> WHERE ARE YOU FROM? >>
I'M FROM FLORIDA, BUT I GO TO
00:02:23.51\00:02:27.48
SCHOOL IN ALABAMA. >>
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN
00:02:27.48\00:02:30.51
WORKING WITH NAPS. >>
ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF, TWO
00:02:30.51\00:02:34.15
YEARS. >> PRAISE THE LORD.
00:02:34.15\00:02:35.88
NOW LET US HEAR THIS STORY.
>> JADE BUILT [ INAUDIBLE ] AND
00:02:35.88\00:02:47.60
HOW WE MED JADE
WAS THROUGH HER MOTHER.
00:02:47.60\00:02:52.63
THAT WAS DEFINITELY SOMETHING
THAT WE HAD -- THERE WAS A -- A
00:02:52.63\00:02:56.24
GREAT BOND WITH HER MOTHER,
AND -- HER MOM WAS REALLY
00:02:56.24\00:03:01.51
LOOKING FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
SHE WANTED HER TO, YOU KNOW,
00:03:01.51\00:03:05.61
EXPERIENCE EDUCATION
FOR WHAT IT COULD REALY BE.
00:03:05.61\00:03:07.55
>> UH-HUH. >> AND
I KNOW JADE SHE ALSO
00:03:07.55\00:03:10.72
SHARES THE STORY -- MAYBE YOU
CAN SHARE IT ABOUT WHY YOUR MOM
00:03:10.72\00:03:16.06
DECIDED TO SEND YOU TO NALA.
>> BECAUSE AT MY OLD SCHOOL IT
00:03:16.06\00:03:23.73
WAS VERY BAD. BECAUSE
PEOPLE WERE CUSSING AND
00:03:23.73\00:03:27.90
EVERYTHING. SO MY
MOM THOUGHT ABOUT THIS
00:03:27.90\00:03:29.94
SCHOOL NAMED NALA, SO SHE WANTED
ME TO GO THERE TO LEARN MORE
00:03:29.94\00:03:35.18
ABOUT JESUS. >> AMEN.
00:03:35.18\00:03:38.55
AMEN. >> MANY OF
THE PARENTS THAT SEND
00:03:38.55\00:03:40.18
THEIR CHILDREN THERE, THEY ARE
LOOKING FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT
00:03:40.18\00:03:43.42
THAT OUR CONVENTIONAL
SCHOOLS ARE NOT OFFERING.
00:03:43.42\00:03:46.09
>> UH-HUH. >> AND
GOD HAS BEEN SO GOOD TO
00:03:46.09\00:03:49.39
BE ABLE TO BLESS US. GOD
HAS BEEN SO GOOD WHERE WE
00:03:49.39\00:03:53.06
SEE A DRAMATIC CHANGE IN THESE
CHILDREN, AND THE PARENTS SEE IT
00:03:53.06\00:03:56.10
AS WELL, SO I MEAN
WHAT A TRUE BLESSING.
00:03:56.10\00:03:59.17
WITHOUT JADE AND SO
MANY OF OUR ORE STUDENTS.
00:03:59.17\00:04:02.80
>> MY UNDERSTANDING IS WHILE
YOU WERE IN SCHOOL, YOU WERE
00:04:02.80\00:04:06.68
IMPRESSED TO
START A SCHOOL. >> YES.
00:04:06.68\00:04:08.08
>> HAVE YOU FINISHED
SCHOOL? >> YES, I HAVE.
00:04:08.08\00:04:12.55
>> AND YOUR DEGREE
IS IN? >> EDUCATION.
00:04:12.55\00:04:21.69
>> WHAT DROVE YOU? >>
THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS.
00:04:21.69\00:04:24.99
FIRST I STARTED OFF IN COLLEGE
AS A BIOLOGY MAJOR, AND I
00:04:24.99\00:04:29.20
ACTUALLY TOOK A YEAR OFF TO
DO MISSION WORK WITH NAPS, WHICH
00:04:29.20\00:04:32.70
YOU'LL BE HEARING
ABOUT YOD. >> UH-HUH.
00:04:32.70\00:04:36.14
>> AND WHEN I TOOK OFF
THAT YEAR, I -- I KNEW THERE WAS
00:04:36.14\00:04:39.84
SOMETHING THAT WAS DIFFERENT
THAT I -- I DIDN'T WANT TO
00:04:39.84\00:04:43.65
PRACTICE MEDICINE. I
WANTED TO DO SOMETHING
00:04:43.65\00:04:46.18
DIFFERENT, AND ONE OF THOSE
PASSIONS WAS TEACHING, SO I
00:04:46.18\00:04:50.55
ENDED UP SWITCHING MY
MAJOR MY SOPHOMORE YEAR.
00:04:50.55\00:04:54.02
>> TEACHING ISSAL
KAING. >> YES, IT IS.
00:04:54.02\00:04:57.49
I BELIEVE THAT. SO MY
SOPHOMORE YEAR I STARTED
00:04:57.49\00:05:01.20
MY EDUCATION CLASSES, AND TO MY
SURPRISE, YOU KNOW, I LEARNED A
00:05:01.20\00:05:04.90
TON OF THINGS -- I WAS SUPER
INSPIRED BY MANY OF MY TEACHERS,
00:05:04.90\00:05:09.44
AND THEN AT THE SAME TIME, I
WS ALMOST DISCOURAGED BECAUSE I
00:05:09.44\00:05:13.98
FELT LIKE SOME OF THE SKILLS
WE WERE LEARNING, YOU KNOW, I
00:05:13.98\00:05:17.68
LOOKED AT IT, AND I SAID
WHAT REAL IMPACT CAN I MAKE IN A
00:05:17.68\00:05:22.02
CHILD'S LIFE, BASED OFF OF, YOU
KNOW, DOING THIS AND THAT AND
00:05:22.02\00:05:25.82
THAT, AND SOME OF THOSE THINGS
WERE -- ONE THING I REALLY FELT
00:05:25.82\00:05:30.56
IS -- OKAY, WHEN I WAS DOING MY
STUDENT TEACHING, FOR EXAMPLE,
00:05:30.56\00:05:34.30
WE WERE IN THE HUNTSVILLE CITY
PUBLIC SYSTEM, AND I REMEMBER
00:05:34.30\00:05:39.87
THINKING, MAN, THERE'S SO MANY
KIDS AT THIS SCHOOL WHO HAVE
00:05:39.87\00:05:43.24
DEEPER ISSUES, BUT BECAUSE YOU
ARE RESTRAINED FROM SAYING THIS
00:05:43.24\00:05:47.91
AND DOING THAT AND DOING THAT,
YOU CAN NEVER OFFER THEM THE
00:05:47.91\00:05:52.05
REAL HELP THAT THEY
NEED. AND THAT WAS THE POINT OF
00:05:52.05\00:05:56.52
DISCOURAGEMENT THAT I REALLY
FELT AS I SAT IN MY COLLEGE
00:05:56.52\00:05:59.65
CLASSES, THINKING WHAT
REAL AND TRUE IMPACT CAN I MAKE?
00:05:59.65\00:06:02.39
AND ONE THING THAT REALLY STOOD
OUT TO ME -- IN ONE CLASS WE
00:06:02.39\00:06:05.66
WERE STUDYING A TON OF PEOPLE
WHO HAVE DONE EDUCATIONAL REFORM
00:06:05.66\00:06:10.37
IN AMERICA, PEOPLE LIKE JEFFERY
CANADA, AND RON CLARK, BUT THE
00:06:10.37\00:06:16.37
ONE THING THAT STOOD OUT TO ME
WAS THE RELATIONSHIP THAT THESE
00:06:16.37\00:06:20.08
INDIVIDUALS WERE FORMING WITH
THE CHILDREN, THE PARENTS AND
00:06:20.08\00:06:23.21
OVERALL THE COMMUNITY. AND
TO ME SOMETHING REALLY STOOD
00:06:23.21\00:06:28.12
OUT; THAT THERE HAS TO BE
SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAT WE'RE
00:06:28.12\00:06:31.62
DOING IN OUR EDUCATION.
THERE'S NO RELATIONSHIP.
00:06:31.62\00:06:34.36
I MEAN YOU GO TO THE PUBLIC
SYSTEM, YOU ARE VERY RIGID
00:06:34.36\00:06:38.69
ON -- YOU SEE A STUDENT CRYING,
YOU DONE WANT TO ASK THEM
00:06:38.69\00:06:42.06
EVERYTHING, BECAUSE IF YOU
ASK THEM, NOW YOU ARE LIABLE,
00:06:42.06\00:06:44.93
OR -- IF -- IF SOMETHING
HAPPENED, YOU KNOW, DON'T EVEN
00:06:44.93\00:06:48.44
TALK TO THEM, OR DON'T EVEN TRY
TO COMFORT THEM, YOU DON'T WANT
00:06:48.44\00:06:52.21
TO BE CAUGHT FOR SAYING THIS, OR
DOING THIS, AND THERE'S SO MANY
00:06:52.21\00:06:57.88
RESTRANTHS ON THE REAL IMPACT
YOU CAN MAKE ON A CHILD'S LIFE.
00:06:57.88\00:07:00.32
>> UH-HUH. >> SO
THOSE WERE SOME OF THE
00:07:00.32\00:07:04.85
THINGS THAT REALLY INSPIRED ME
TO SAY NO, SOMETHING HAS TO BE
00:07:04.85\00:07:08.99
DIFFERENT.
SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE.
00:07:08.99\00:07:10.56
WE HAVE TO FORM SCHOOLS THAT
ARE CREATING FUNCTIONAL ADULTS,
00:07:10.56\00:07:15.96
FUNCTIONAL CITIZENS. >>
LET ME PUSH YOU ALONG JUST A
00:07:15.96\00:07:18.63
LITTLE BIT, BECAUSE IT'S ONE
THING TO HAVE THE BURDEN AND SEE
00:07:18.63\00:07:22.34
THE PROBLEM, IT'S ANOTHER THING
TOED A DRESS AND READDRESS THE
00:07:22.34\00:07:26.14
PROBLEM. SO
OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING MOVED YOU
00:07:26.14\00:07:28.41
FROM SOMETHING IS WRONG TO I
WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING RIGHT.
00:07:28.41\00:07:31.81
>> YES. >> WALK ME THROUGH THAT.
00:07:31.81\00:07:34.75
>> YES. WE WERE
WORKING IN THE SOUTH,
00:07:34.75\00:07:37.92
OKAY. YOU HAVE
BEEN HEARING ABOUT THE
00:07:37.92\00:07:39.95
SOUTHERN WORK, SPECIFICALLY
A CITY CALLED AKRON.
00:07:39.95\00:07:43.49
AND AKRON ACTUALLY
RECENTLY -- ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO,
00:07:43.49\00:07:47.36
THEIR PUBLIC SCHOOL CLOSED
BECAUSE IT WAS FAILING AND
00:07:47.36\00:07:51.23
OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE OF FUNDING,
WHICH IS COMMON IN THAT AREA.
00:07:51.23\00:07:55.10
WHEN I WAS DOING TUTORING AT THE
BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB, I MEAN, IT
00:07:55.10\00:08:01.94
WAS SHOCKING. I
WAS LIKE, IN AMERICA.
00:08:01.94\00:08:06.35
AND THERE WERE 12TH GRADERS
GRADUATING FROM HIGH SCHOOL THAT
00:08:06.35\00:08:10.42
COULDN'T READ. I WAS
TUTORING A 12 YEAR OLD IN
00:08:10.42\00:08:14.12
THE 6TH GRADE, AND
SHE COULDN'T READ EITHER.
00:08:14.12\00:08:17.26
AND IT WAS NORMAL.
YOU ASK THEM SIMPLE MATH
00:08:17.26\00:08:21.56
PROBLEMS LIKE MULTIPLICATION,
AND THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IN
00:08:21.56\00:08:25.67
HIGH SCHOOL AND THEY CAN'T
EVEN REGURGITATE TWO PLUS TWO.
00:08:25.67\00:08:31.24
AND ON TOP OF THAT THERE WERE
SO MANY OTHER ISSUES GOING ON.
00:08:31.24\00:08:35.94
IN THAT YOUNG LADY THAT I
WAS WORKING WITH TUTORING HER IN
00:08:35.94\00:08:40.18
READING, ABOUT TWO MONTHS LATER,
THE MOTHER CALLS ME AND SHE SAID
00:08:40.18\00:08:45.09
YOU NEED TO TALK TO MY BABY,
YOU KNOW, THE OTHER DAY HER
00:08:45.09\00:08:49.52
BOYFRIEND WHO IS 18 YEARS OLD,
THIS YOUNG LADY IS 12, HAD RAPED
00:08:49.52\00:08:54.93
HER. AND SHE
SAID I'M GOING TO BUST
00:08:54.93\00:08:57.37
THE WINDOWS OFF OF HIS CAR,
BUT EVEN FOR THE MOTHER -- SHE
00:08:57.37\00:09:02.14
DIDN'T REPORT IT. HE
IS STILL HANGING AROUND
00:09:02.14\00:09:04.34
THERE. YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN?
00:09:04.34\00:09:06.11
I MEAN THERE'S JUST A TON --
>> SOME DEEP SOCIAL STUFF GOING
00:09:06.11\00:09:11.38
ON. >> THERE REALLY IS.
00:09:11.38\00:09:12.41
AND I THINK THAT WAS A HUGE
TURNING POINT WHERE I WAS LIKE,
00:09:12.41\00:09:15.68
WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.
IF WE NEED TO OPEN UP A SCHOOL
00:09:15.68\00:09:18.75
FOR THE COMMUNITY
HERE, WE NEED TO DO IT.
00:09:18.75\00:09:21.59
>> SO WHAT DID YOU
DO? >> SO THEN AFTERWARDS,
00:09:21.59\00:09:25.33
DR. MARLO, SHE ACTUALLY CAME
UP TO ME AND ANOTHER YOUNG LADY,
00:09:25.33\00:09:29.46
AND SHE SAID I HAVE
BEEN HAVING A DREAM.
00:09:29.46\00:09:31.70
WE NEED TO START A
SCHOOL. I SAID YES, LET'S DO IT!
00:09:31.70\00:09:36.57
AND IMMEDIATELY RIGHT AFTER
THAT, I STARTED CALLING AROUND,
00:09:36.57\00:09:42.48
DOING RESEARCH ON THE STATE OF
ALABAMA HOW TO OPEN UP A PRIVATE
00:09:42.48\00:09:47.02
SCHOOL, AND I REMEMBER TELLING
ONE OF MY PROFESSORS, SHE WAS
00:09:47.02\00:09:51.22
LIKE, ARE YOU SURE
YOU WANT TO DO THIS?
00:09:51.22\00:09:53.82
YOU ARE STILL IN COLLEGE.
AND I WAS LIKE, YEAH, OF COURSE.
00:09:53.82\00:09:57.86
THESE KIDS NEED US. WE
DID THE RESEARCH I PRESENTED
00:09:57.86\00:10:02.33
IT TO THE BOARD. AND
ONE OF THE BOARD MEMBERS
00:10:02.33\00:10:04.47
SAID THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE, BUT
WE JUST PUSHED FORWARD EVERYONE
00:10:04.47\00:10:08.20
WITH ANY CONTROVERSIES THAT MAY
HAVE AROSE FROM THAT PROJECT AND
00:10:08.20\00:10:12.21
WE JUST MOVED FORWARD, AND THE
LORD AND -- HE SUPER OPENED UP
00:10:12.21\00:10:18.81
THE DOORS, AND WE STARTED OUR
FIRST YEAR ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO.
00:10:18.81\00:10:22.78
WE'RE GOING ON OUR
THIRD YEAR RIGHT NOW.
00:10:22.78\00:10:24.95
>> HOW BIG IS THE SCHOOL?
>> WHEN WE FIRST STARTED OFF IT
00:10:24.95\00:10:29.29
WAS FIVE STUDENTS,
AND NOW WE'RE UP TO TEN.
00:10:29.29\00:10:31.99
>> PRAISE THE LORD. >> YEAH.
00:10:31.99\00:10:34.00
>> AND THE
SCHOOL IS LOCATED WHERE?
00:10:34.00\00:10:36.87
>> IN SAWYER, ALABAMA.
>> AND YOU ARE TEACHING?
00:10:36.87\00:10:40.37
>> YES. >> ARE
YOU THE ONLY TEACHING?
00:10:40.37\00:10:43.07
>> NO, WE HAVE TWO TEACHERS.
I PRAISE THE LORD NOW HAVE TIME
00:10:43.07\00:10:47.68
TO DO ADMINISTRATIVE WORK, SO
THAT'S MY MAIN FOCUS RIGHT NOW,
00:10:47.68\00:10:52.51
ALSO WE -- OUR
CURRICULUM IS PRETTY EXTENSIVE.
00:10:52.51\00:10:56.48
THESE KIDS ARE LEARNING A
TON. LIKE MAYBE JADE CAN SHARE.
00:10:56.48\00:11:00.79
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE SUBJECTS
YOU ARE LEARNING AT SCHOOL RIGHT
00:11:00.79\00:11:04.26
NOW. >> ART,
MUSIC, MATH, READING,
00:11:04.26\00:11:07.86
AND SCIENCE. >> UH-HUH.
00:11:07.86\00:11:10.03
AND THEN IN ADDITION TO THE
REGULAR CORE SUBJECTS, THEY ARE
00:11:10.03\00:11:14.87
ALSO LEARNING PRACTICAL SKILLS,
SO WHAT ARE SOME OF THOSE
00:11:14.87\00:11:19.91
THINGS? >>
CROCHET AND [ INAUDIBLE ]
00:11:19.91\00:11:23.04
GARDENING. >> UH-HUH.
00:11:23.04\00:11:24.85
ABSOLUTELY. THEY
ARE LEARNING CROCHETING
00:11:24.85\00:11:27.12
BREAD MAKING,
SQUARE FOOT GARDENING.
00:11:27.12\00:11:30.95
THEY RECENTLY GOT
CHICKENS. LET'S SEE WHAT ELSE.
00:11:30.95\00:11:38.13
ALSO THEY ARE GOING TO
BE LEARNING THE INTRODUCTORY
00:11:38.13\00:11:42.93
COURSES TO SEWING. WE
WANT TO DO ANIMAL HUSBANDRY,
00:11:42.93\00:11:47.87
WHERE THEY ARE
WORKING WITH GOATS AND COWS.
00:11:47.87\00:11:50.61
IT'S MAKING EDUCATION
PRACTICAL. >> PRAISE THE LORD.
00:11:50.61\00:11:55.58
>> IMAGINE CONVERTING UNITS LIKE
POUNDS TO OUNCES OR DIFFERENT
-THINGS LIKE THAT, THEY ARE
00:11:55.58\00:12:01.22
ACTUALLY APPLYING IT IN THEIR
CLASSES NFRM WHEN THEY ARE DOING
00:12:01.22\00:12:04.59
BREAD MAKING THEY ARE
MULTIPLYING, SO IT'S ADDING MORE
00:12:04.59\00:12:12.69
PRACTICALITY TO THEIR EDUCATION.
>> EACH OF THESE STORIES ARE SO
00:12:12.69\00:12:17.83
COMPELLING. BUT I
KNOW YOU HAVE GOT SOME
00:12:17.83\00:12:20.00
THINGS YOU WANT TO COVER.
>> YES, I'M -- I'M LOOKING AT
00:12:20.00\00:12:24.27
KRISTEN BECAUSE
THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TOO.
00:12:24.27\00:12:26.31
BECAUSE THE SCHOOL
IS A SCHOOL OF SERVICE.
00:12:26.31\00:12:28.08
ONE THING WE ARE READING ABOUT
IS IF -- THE WHOLE PURPOSE ON
00:12:28.08\00:12:33.35
WHICH WE WERE
CREATED WAS TO SERVE.
00:12:33.35\00:12:35.98
SO THESE STUDENTS ARE ABLE
TO SERVE THE VERY COMMUNITY THAT
00:12:35.98\00:12:39.05
THEY WORK IN. >> YEAH.
00:12:39.05\00:12:41.29
YEAH. >> AND
EVEN WHEN IT COMES TO,
00:12:41.29\00:12:43.89
LIKE OUR -- WHEN IT COMES
TO THIS SCHOOL, THIS IS'T JUST
00:12:43.89\00:12:47.76
SOMETHING THAT WE DO HERE IN THE
STATES, BUT WE ACTUALLY NALA WAS
00:12:47.76\00:12:55.60
NOT OUR FIRST SCHOOL.-SO YOU CAN
TALK ABOUT THAT JUST A LITTLE
00:12:55.60\00:12:59.87
BIT. >> YES, ABSOLUTELY.
ONE OF THE FIRST SCHOOLS THAT WE
00:12:59.87\00:13:04.81
STARTED WAS ON AN
INTERNATIONAL MISSION IN INDIA.
00:13:04.81\00:13:07.42
AND I MEAN, GOD HAS
TRULY BLESSED THIS SCHOOL.
00:13:07.42\00:13:11.05
>> WOW. >>
RECENTLY A GROUP -- WE WENT
00:13:11.05\00:13:14.26
THERE TO ACTUALLY GO CHECK ON
THE SCHOOL, AND -- AND MAKE SURE
00:13:14.26\00:13:18.66
EVERYTHING WAS TOGETHER, AND I
MEAN, THE ENROLLMENT HAS -- HAS
00:13:18.66\00:13:23.40
DOUBLED. >> YEAH,
AND NOT ONLY THAT, BUT
00:13:23.40\00:13:25.30
THE VERY KIDS THAT ORIGINALLY
WE WENT -- WE WENT TO INDIA IN
00:13:25.30\00:13:30.84
2005. IT WAS ON THAT MISSION.
00:13:30.84\00:13:32.71
THE KIDS THAT WE BAPTIZED
IN 2005, ARE NOW THE VERY ONES
00:13:32.71\00:13:37.08
RUNNING THE SCHOOL, AND IT'S AN
AMAZING -- AMAZING OPPORTUNITY,
00:13:37.08\00:13:40.88
BECAUSE WHAT YOU MAY NOT REALIZE
IS IN INDIA, WITH THE AFRICAN
00:13:40.88\00:13:46.45
INDIANS, THEY WERE AT THE
BOTTOM OF THE CAST SYSTEM --
00:13:46.45\00:13:49.16
>> YES. >> SO THEY
WEREN'T ALLOWED TO GO
00:13:49.16\00:13:51.73
TO SCHOOL. THEY
WSH ALLOWED TO READ.
00:13:51.73\00:13:53.80
AND ONE OF THE BIG THINGS WITH
ELLEN WHITE IS HOW CAN YOU READ
00:13:53.80\00:13:58.70
THE BIBLE IF YOU
ARE NOT TAUGHT TO READ?
00:13:58.70\00:14:02.20
AND SO NOW THESE KIDS HAVE
A SCHOOL WHERE THEY CAN LEARN.
00:14:02.20\00:14:06.01
BUT I REALLY WANT -- I WANT
EVERYBODY TO REALIZE WHAT TYPE
00:14:06.01\00:14:10.61
OF MISSIONS NAPS GOES ON,
BECAUSE I HAD SEEN A LOT OF
00:14:10.61\00:14:14.62
DIFFERENT MISSION TRIPS,
YOU KNOW, BUT NAPS IS A BIT
00:14:14.62\00:14:17.79
DIFFERENT, SO I'M WONDERING IF
MY HUSBAND, IF YOU CAN TELL US A
00:14:17.79\00:14:22.26
BIT ABOUT SOME OF THE SETTINGS
OF THE INTERNATIONAL MISSIONS
00:14:22.26\00:14:25.66
THAT WE TRAVEL ON. >> OKAY.
00:14:25.66\00:14:28.33
FOR ME, I ALWAYS LOVE
TO TELL THINGS IN A STORY.
00:14:28.33\00:14:32.33
AND THIS ONE STORY IS
TALKING ABOUT AN OX CART.
00:14:32.33\00:14:35.57
AND WHENEVER WE GO TO THESE
AREAS, WE GO TO RURAL AREAS
00:14:35.57\00:14:40.24
WHERE WE TRY TO
DO FRONTIER MISSION.
00:14:40.24\00:14:42.38
SO SOMETIMES YOU TAKE THE PLANE
TO GET THERE, BUT THEN THAT
00:14:42.38\00:14:46.05
PLANE -- YOU THEN HAVE A TRUCK
THEN THAT TRUCK MAY TURN INTO A
00:14:46.05\00:14:50.85
TWO-FOOT OR END UP IN A CANOE.
SO GETTING SUPPLIES TO THESE
00:14:50.85\00:15:01.20
AREAS CAN
SOMETIMES TO BE A HINDRANCE.
00:15:01.20\00:15:04.83
BUT GOD ALWAYS BLESSES.
IN GUYANA WE WERE BUILDING A
00:15:04.83\00:15:09.20
CHURCH. AND WE
ONLY HAD A SHORT AMOUNT
00:15:09.20\00:15:11.04
OF TIME, BUT WE NEEDED TO GET
ALL OF THE SUPPLIES BROUGHT IN.
00:15:11.04\00:15:15.61
SO THEY HAD AN OX CART THAT
WOULD BRING THE SUPPLIES IN.
00:15:15.61\00:15:20.35
BUT THE OX STARTED TO GET TIRED,
AND OF COURSE, YOU HAVE TO LET
00:15:20.35\00:15:24.42
THE ANIMALS WEST. SO
WE SAID IF WE HAVE TO
00:15:24.42\00:15:28.99
CONTINUOUSLY WAIT FOR THESE OX
TO REST, IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK.
00:15:28.99\00:15:32.26
SO WE HITCHED OURSELVES TO THE
TRAILERS, AND YOU ARE SEEING
THE-GUYS CARRYING THE SUPPLIES
00:15:32.26\00:15:39.20
BACK AND FORTH. AND
THE LORD JUST BLESSED ON
00:15:39.20\00:15:41.40
THAT MISSION, BECAUSE WE WERE
ABLE TO PUT OUR TRUST IN HIM.
00:15:41.40\00:15:44.77
BUT THEN IT DOESN'T STOP THERE.
WE ALSO BELIEVE THAT GOD LEADS,
00:15:44.77\00:15:49.44
LIKE AS YOU GET INVOLVED
IN MINISTRY, HIS PROVIDENCE
00:15:49.44\00:15:52.81
STANDS -- STANDS OUT.
WHAT YOU ARE SEEING RIGHT
00:15:52.81\00:15:55.08
NOW -- THIS IS A BABY WHO WE
INTERACTED WITH, AND THIS BABY
00:15:55.08\00:16:01.46
WAS MALL NOURISHED, DEHYDRATED.
WHEN WE WERE BACK IN THE
00:16:01.46\00:16:07.23
UNITED STATES, DR. PAUL LOOKED
AT THE THIS BOTTLE AND SAID MAKE
00:16:07.23\00:16:12.10
SURE WE PACK THIS. BUT
THEN WE WERE SITTING THERE
00:16:12.10\00:16:15.34
WORKING WITH THE BABY, AND
WE REMEMBERED, HEY, DID WE PACK
00:16:15.34\00:16:18.67
THAT BOTTLE? AND SO
THE YOUNG MAN YOU SAW,
00:16:18.67\00:16:22.11
TYLER THERE, WENT AND GRABBED
THE BOTTLE, AND WAS ABLE TO
00:16:22.11\00:16:26.01
PROVIDE IT TO THE BABY, AND
NOW THE BABY IS WELL NOURISHED.
00:16:26.01\00:16:30.79
AND THESE ARE JUST STORIES FROM
THE MISSION FIELD THAT I LOVE.
00:16:30.79\00:16:33.89
>> YEAH. YEAH.
00:16:33.89\00:16:35.46
PRAISE THE LORD. >> AND
ONE OF THE MAIN FOCUSES,
00:16:35.46\00:16:38.39
WHEN WE GO TO THESE
INTERNATIONAL MISSIONS, WE WANT
00:16:38.39\00:16:41.00
TO GO TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE
NEVER HEARD ABOUT JESUS, AND WE
00:16:41.00\00:16:48.00
ACTUALLY -- AFTER GOING
-- THERE'S -- A LOT OF THE
00:16:48.00\00:16:50.44
PLACES WE GO.
THERE IS NO SEVENTH-DAY
00:16:50.44\00:16:54.78
ADVENTIST CHURCH, NOT
JUST IN THAT AREA, BUT IN THE
00:16:54.78\00:16:58.11
SURROUNDING AREAS.
THEY HAVE NO RUNNING WATER.
00:16:58.11\00:17:01.38
NO ELECTRICITY, THE
MISSION -- THE MISSION THAT
00:17:01.38\00:17:04.19
REALLY GOT ME EXCITED ABOUT NAPS
WAS A MISSION THAT WE TOOK TO
00:17:04.19\00:17:08.96
SUDAN. >> UH-HUH.
00:17:08.96\00:17:10.66
>> AND THIS WAS A
MISSION THAT WE HAVE A VIDEO.
00:17:10.66\00:17:14.50
THIS WAS A MISSION WHERE --
THIS IS ACTUALLY IN THE PLANE
00:17:14.50\00:17:18.37
LANDING. OKAY.
00:17:18.37\00:17:19.00
I WANT YOU TO REALIZE THAT
WHILE THE PLANE WAS LANDING,
00:17:19.00\00:17:23.41
THE -- THE WHOLE FRONT PART OF
THE PLANE LIKE FELL DOWN SO THE
00:17:23.41\00:17:27.58
GUY HAD TO PULL OUT A MAP TO
FIND THE LANDING SCRIP, SO AS
00:17:27.58\00:17:31.81
YOU LOOK, THIS IS THE PILOT, YOU
KNOW, TRYING HI BEST TO LAND.
00:17:31.81\00:17:36.65
AND AS THE PLANE HITS, ONE
OF THE TIRES ACTUALLY BLOWS.
00:17:36.65\00:17:40.66
>> OH, MY SOUL.-p>> AND YOU LOOK
LIKE -- YOU HAVE TO THINK TO
YOURSELF -- HOW MUCH
00:17:40.66\00:17:46.19
DOES GOD VALUE A SOUL?
WHAT IS THE VALUE OF A SOUL.
00:17:46.19\00:17:50.00
SEE IN SUDAN, THE ISSUE WAS
-- THEY WERE IN THE MIDST OF
00:17:50.00\00:17:53.90
A CIVIL WAR. >> OH, YEAH.
00:17:53.90\00:17:56.10
>> AND THERE ARE SO MANY
CHILDREN WHO WERE STARVING, THEY
00:17:56.10\00:18:00.18
WOULD RUN AFTER EVEN THE PLANES
WHEN THEY CAME, THEY WOULD RUN
00:18:00.18\00:18:04.31
HOPING IT WOULD BE A PLANE THAT
WOULD DROP FOOD, BUT INSTEAD OF
00:18:04.31\00:18:07.78
FOOD, THE PLANES WOULD MANY
TIMES DROP BOMBS SO YOU HAVE
00:18:07.78\00:18:11.89
THESE CHILDREN
WHO ARE MALNOURISHED.
00:18:11.89\00:18:14.86
MANY TIMES THEY ARE MISSING
LIMBS OR STRUGGLING, AND GOD
00:18:14.86\00:18:18.33
SENT US TO THEM,
YOU KNOW? >> UH-HUH.
00:18:18.33\00:18:21.56
>> AND EVEN GETTING IN,
THAT'S A WHOLE OTHER TESTIMONY.
00:18:21.56\00:18:24.93
WE ARE HAVING TO CUT OUT SO MANY
TESTIMONIES, BUT -- BUT WHEN WE
00:18:24.93\00:18:28.70
GOT IN, THERE WERE PEOPLE
WHO -- THEY WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT
00:18:28.70\00:18:32.24
JESUS, EVEN THERE WAS A -- THERE
WAS A VILLAGE WHERE WE ENDED UP
00:18:32.24\00:18:36.41
WORKING -- WE ENDED UP
WORKING IN THE VILLAGE.
00:18:36.41\00:18:39.98
THE ENTIRE VILLAGE
ENDS UP GETTING BAPTIZED.
00:18:39.98\00:18:42.82
>> OH, PRAISE GOD. >>
AND IT WAS JUST REALLY
00:18:42.82\00:18:46.55
POWERFUL, AND YOU ARE
GOING TO GET TO SEE MORE.
00:18:46.55\00:18:48.42
¤ ¤ ALL THE
PEOPLE WHO ARE LIVING
00:18:48.42\00:18:59.80
IN THE COLD ¤ ¤ NO
DIRECTION, NO PLACE TO CALL
00:18:59.80\00:19:02.70
THEIR OWN ¤ ¤
LACKING PROPER SHELTER ¤
00:19:02.70\00:19:11.65
¤ PAIN IS ALL THEY
SEE ¤ ¤ YES, IT HUMBLES ME
00:19:11.65\00:19:17.39
COMPLETELY ¤ ¤ JUST
TO KNOW THAT COULD HAVE
00:19:17.39\00:19:20.62
BEEN ME ¤ ¤ THAT
COULD HAVE BEEN ME ¤
00:19:20.62\00:19:23.43
>> WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT SOUTH
SUDAN IN PARTICULAR, THEY GOT
00:19:23.43\00:19:27.40
KIND OF LEFT HOLDING THE
BAG WHEN THE COUNTRY SPLIT, THEY
00:19:27.40\00:19:32.07
GOT, I THINK, THE WORST END OF
THAT DEAL, SO FIRST OF ALL FOR
00:19:32.07\00:19:36.17
YOU TO SELECT TO GO
THERE, THAT'S MAJOR.
00:19:36.17\00:19:38.74
THAT'S A FAITH TRIP.
AND OBVIOUSLY, YOU DID VERY,
00:19:38.74\00:19:42.84
VERY, VERY GOOD WORK.
MADELINE, MY LADY, YOU ARE VERY
00:19:42.84\00:19:46.88
QUIET BACK THERE. I KNOW
YOU HAVE GOT SOMETHING TO
00:19:46.88\00:19:50.65
SAY. YOU HAVE BEEN WITH NAPS HOW
00:19:50.65\00:19:53.25
LONG? >> ABOUT
A YEAR AND A HALF.
00:19:53.25\00:19:54.82
>> HOW MANY OF THESE ADVENTURES
DARE I KAY HAVE YOU BEEN ON?
00:19:54.82\00:19:58.56
>> WELL, I HAVE BEEN ON
QUITE A FEW MISSIONS IN THE U.S.
00:19:58.56\00:20:02.60
I CAN'T EVEN GIVE YOU A NUMBER.
JUST -- THERE ARE TOO MANY.
00:20:02.60\00:20:07.47
BUT OVERSEAS, SOME
THAT YOU HAVE SEEN JUST NOW.
00:20:07.47\00:20:12.54
I HAVE BEEN TO ONE OVERSEAS
MISSION SO FAR, AND THAT WAS
00:20:12.54\00:20:17.11
ETHIOPIA, ACTUALLY, THIS PAST
SUMMER, AND THAT WAS SUCH A HUGE
00:20:17.11\00:20:24.02
BLESSING AS YOU MAY ALREADY
KNOW, WHEN WE GO TO DIFFERENT
00:20:24.02\00:20:28.02
COUNTRIES, WE DO CHILDREN'S
PROGRAMS, WHERE WE'RE ABLE TO
00:20:28.02\00:20:30.99
TEACH THE CHILDREN THE LOVE OF
GOD SIMILAR TO THE SCHOOL, AND
00:20:30.99\00:20:33.80
THEN WE'RE ALSO ABLE TO DO
FEEDING PROGRAMS, AND FEED THE
00:20:33.80\00:20:37.97
CHILDREN, AND JUST EVEN ADULTS
THAT ARE STARVING AS WELL --
00:20:37.97\00:20:42.67
>> UH-HUH. >> --
AND ALSO DO SOME MEDICAL
00:20:42.67\00:20:48.84
RELIEF. WE'RE
ABLE TO BRING A MEDICAL
00:20:48.84\00:20:50.81
TEAM THERE TO
HELP OUT WITH THAT.
00:20:50.81\00:20:52.85
AND THERE'S ACTUALLY A TESTIMONY
OF ONE OF THE MEDICAL -- ONE OF
00:20:52.85\00:20:59.65
THE MEDICAL INTERACTIONS THAT
WE HAD IN ETHIOPIA, AND IT'S
00:20:59.65\00:21:06.36
ACTUALLY OF A MAN WHO ACTUALLY
CAME AND PASSED OVER THREE
00:21:06.36\00:21:10.50
RIVERS JUST TO
GET TO WHERE WE WERE.
00:21:10.50\00:21:13.50
AND HE WAS
COMPLAINING OF LEG PAIN.
00:21:13.50\00:21:16.34
AND WE CAME, AND AFTER FURTHER
INVESTIGATION, WE REALIZED THAT
00:21:16.34\00:21:21.44
HE HAD SOME OF THE FLESH IN HIS
LEG WAS ROTTING, AND THAT WAS
00:21:21.44\00:21:26.31
QUICKLY TAKEN CARE OF
WHERE CHARCOAL TREATMENTS.
00:21:26.31\00:21:30.12
AND AFTER BEING TREATED, WE
WERE ALSO ABLE TO GIVE HIM BIBLE
00:21:30.12\00:21:34.72
STUDIES, AND HE WAS ABLE TO
ACCEPT THE TRUTH, AND HE WAS ONE
00:21:34.72\00:21:38.59
OF THE PEOPLE WHO WERE BAPTIZED,
AND NOW HE IS THE HEAD OF THE
00:21:38.59\00:21:42.43
CHURCH THERE THAT
WAS STARTED AS A RESULT.
00:21:42.43\00:21:44.57
>> OH, PRAISE THE LORD. >>
AND ANOTHER THING THAT NAPS
00:21:44.57\00:21:48.94
DOES WHEN WE GO TO DIFFERENT
COUNTRIES IS WE LIKE TO TRAIN
00:21:48.94\00:21:52.07
THE YOUTH. SIMILAR
TO WHAT I RECEIVED HERE
00:21:52.07\00:21:54.24
IN AMERICA, WHERE I WAS TRAINED
TO GO OUT AND SHARE THE GOSPEL.
00:21:54.24\00:21:59.55
WE DO THE SAME THING IN
DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, SO WE'RE
00:21:59.55\00:22:03.25
ABLE TO GRAB QUITE A FEW YOUTH
THAT WERE ALREADY IN THE CHURCH,
00:22:03.25\00:22:08.69
BUT WERE REALLY
WANTING TO FIND PURPOSE.
00:22:08.69\00:22:11.99
AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO
KIND OF STEER THEM IN THE RIGHT
00:22:11.99\00:22:15.36
DIRECTION, AND AS A RESULT, YOU
KNOW, THEY WERE ABLE TO GO ON
00:22:15.36\00:22:18.73
MISSIONS WITH US. WE
SHOWED THEM HOW TO SHARE THE
00:22:18.73\00:22:21.64
GOSPEL. HOW TO BE
ABLE TO REACH PEOPLE
00:22:21.64\00:22:23.44
WHERE THEY ARE. AND
NOW THEY ARE SO ON FIRE FOR
00:22:23.44\00:22:27.58
CHRIST. IF YOU
-- THERE'S ACTUALLY
00:22:27.58\00:22:29.81
PICTURES OF THEM HAVING THEIR
OWN CAR WASH TO RAISE MONEY FOR
00:22:29.81\00:22:34.38
MISSIONS TO GO OUT IN THEIR
OWN COUNTRY AND BE ABLE TO SHARE
00:22:34.38\00:22:39.02
THAT, AND THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
BAPTIZE -- I BELIEVE THEY HAVE
00:22:39.02\00:22:43.66
HAD SEVERAL BAPTISM
SINCE WE LAST LEFT ETHIOPIA.
00:22:43.66\00:22:47.30
IT'S INSPIRING TO ME, BECAUSE I
KNOW I HAVE BEEN A PART OF NAPS
00:22:47.30\00:22:51.03
FOR QUITE A WHILE, AND THEY HAVE
ONLY BEEN A PART FOR A SHORT
00:22:51.03\00:22:56.00
TIME. BUT TO SEE
THEM INFIRE REIGNITES
00:22:56.00\00:23:01.38
MY FIRE FOR WORKING FOR CHRIST.
>> I'M CONSTANTLY IMPRESSED OF
00:23:01.38\00:23:09.42
HOW THE LORD TURNS
YOUR WORK IN BAPTISMS.
00:23:09.42\00:23:13.66
GOD HONORS YOUR WORK, AND SOULS
COME TO THE KINGDOM, AND JOIN
00:23:13.66\00:23:20.00
THE ADVENTIST CHURCH.
>> YEAH, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY
00:23:20.00\00:23:22.30
RIGHT. BUT I
THINK WHAT IT IS -- WE
00:23:22.30\00:23:25.27
WERE READING THIS MORNING,
ACTUALLY, HOW ANGELS ARE WAITING
00:23:25.27\00:23:29.74
FOR US TO JUST RISE
UP AND GO. >> UH-HUH.
00:23:29.74\00:23:33.11
>> SO THERE ARE PEOPLE,
JUST LIKE YOU SAW IN THE EARLIER
00:23:33.11\00:23:37.98
PART, THE CARPENTER FAMILY WAS
PRAYING, LORD, WE CAN'T DO THIS
00:23:37.98\00:23:41.88
ON OUR OWN, AND THAT'S SOMETHING
THAT WE RUN INTO IN A LOT OF
00:23:41.88\00:23:46.55
PLACES. WHEN WE
WERE IN ZAMBIA, I'M
00:23:46.55\00:23:49.49
GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE
AIDS SITUATION JUST A BIT.
00:23:49.49\00:23:52.36
AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE A PICTURE
FROM ONE OF THE AIDS MARCHES
00:23:52.36\00:23:57.50
THAT WE DID. WHEN WE
WERE IN ZAMBIA, THIS WAS
00:23:57.50\00:24:01.14
MY SECOND MISSION
THAT I HAD GONE ON.
00:24:01.14\00:24:03.77
AND I REMEMBER WE CAME TO THIS
PLACE, AS FAR AS YOU COULD LOOK,
00:24:03.77\00:24:08.61
FROM EVERY SINGLE DIRECTION,
THERE WERE PEOPLE EITHER -- THEY
00:24:08.61\00:24:12.28
HAD SEPARATED THE
CEMETERY INTO SECTIONS.
00:24:12.28\00:24:15.35
ONE FOR JUST LIKE THE
INFANTS. ONE OF THE CHILDREN.
00:24:15.35\00:24:20.26
ONE FOR THE ADULTS, BECAUSE
THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE DYING
00:24:20.26\00:24:26.36
NEEDLESSLY FROM
THE AIDE SITUATION.
00:24:26.36\00:24:27.86
>> UH-HUH? >> AND
YOU JUST SAW ONE OF THE
00:24:27.86\00:24:32.13
HIGHEST-PAYING JOBS WAS
THE GRAVE-DIGGING BUSINESS.
00:24:32.13\00:24:34.37
AND I REMEMBER LOOKING, AND YOU
WOULD SEE MOTHERS CRYING OVER
00:24:34.37\00:24:37.81
THEIR CHILDREN WHO ARE DYING.
AND INSTEAD OF JUST GOING AND
00:24:37.81\00:24:42.41
SAYING LET'S HAVE A BIBLE STUDY,
WHAT IF -- LIKE CHRIST, WE SEE
00:24:42.41\00:24:48.02
THE SITUATION, AND LET'S
DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, AND I
00:24:48.02\00:24:53.62
WAS -- NAPS DID MARCHES GIVING
MORE AWARENESS TO THE SITUATION.
00:24:53.62\00:24:57.16
HE ACTUALLY -- WE VISITED MANY
OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAD AIDS, AND
00:24:57.16\00:25:02.53
AS A RESULT, ONE OF THE
COMMERCIALS THEY STARTED PLAYING
00:25:02.53\00:25:06.63
IN ZAMBIA FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR,
SHOWED US -- BECAUSE THERE WAS A
00:25:06.63\00:25:11.44
SITUATION KIND OF
LIKE WITH LEPROSY.
00:25:11.44\00:25:15.01
NOBODY WANTED TO TOUCH PEOPLE
WITH AIDS, BUT THEN YOU HAVE A
00:25:15.01\00:25:19.01
VIDEO WITH NAPS STUDENTS HUGGING
THESE PEOPLE -- THESE CHILDREN
00:25:19.01\00:25:22.28
WITH AIDS WHO ARE DYING, AND
IT CHANGED THE WHOLE LOOK IN AN
00:25:22.28\00:25:28.49
ENTIRE COUNTRY OF THE AIDS
SITUATION, AND WE WERE EVEN ABLE
00:25:28.49\00:25:32.93
TO GO TO OTHER COUNTRIES
AND HELP WITH THAT AS WELL.
00:25:32.93\00:25:36.16
>> AMEN. >> SO I
THINK IT'S REALLY
00:25:36.16\00:25:38.87
MEETING THE NEEDS EVEN
WITH THE FEEDING PROGRAM.
00:25:38.87\00:25:43.64
I HAVE TESTIMONY FOR
DAYS. MR. ZIMBABWE THERE WAS A
00:25:43.64\00:25:51.45
SITUATION WHERE THERE
WAS A CHOLERA OUTBREAK.
00:25:51.45\00:25:55.22
AND CHOLERA, YOU DON'T
HAVE TO DIE IF YOU JUST GET THE
00:25:55.22\00:25:58.55
MEDICATION, BUT PEOPLE DID NOT
HAVE ACCESS TO THE MEDICATION.
00:25:58.55\00:26:02.29
AND I REMEMBER DR. MARLO COMING
TO THE TEAM, AND HE WAS LIKE WE
00:26:02.29\00:26:07.20
CAN GET THIS MEDICATION, AND WE
CAN SAVE THE LIVES OF THOUSANDS
00:26:07.20\00:26:11.47
IF NOT MORE. >> YEAH.
00:26:11.47\00:26:13.07
>> AND WE WENT TO ZIMBABWE, AND
AS WE -- AS WE GOT TO ZIMBABWE,
00:26:13.07\00:26:19.47
IT'S A POWERFUL TESTIMONY ABOUT
HOW THE DEVIL TRIED TO STOP US
00:26:19.47\00:26:25.11
AND DISCOURAGE, BUT WHEN GOD IS
FOR YOU, NO ONE CAN BE AGAINST
00:26:25.11\00:26:30.05
YOU. >> AMEN.
00:26:30.05\00:26:30.99
>> YEAH, SO IF YOU COULD SHARE
ABOUT THIS TRUCK SITUATION.
00:26:30.99\00:26:34.09
>> OF COURSE. OF COURSE.
00:26:34.09\00:26:35.09
AS I SAID, I
LOVE TELLING STORIES.
00:26:35.09\00:26:38.29
WE'RE IN A COVERED TRUCK, AND
WE WERE DRIVING, AND IT'S ON A
00:26:38.29\00:26:43.06
RURAL ROAD, AND WE GET PULLED
OVER BY THE POLICE, AND SO, YOU
00:26:43.06\00:26:46.87
KNOW, THE POLICE OFFICER
IS TALKING TO THE DRIVER.
00:26:46.87\00:26:48.67
WE DON'T KNOW
WHAT IS BEING SAID.
00:26:48.67\00:26:51.04
WE'RE JUST SITTING IN THE BACK,
AND THEN WE REALIZE THE DRIVE IS
00:26:51.04\00:26:54.61
NOW GETTING IN THE BACK WITH
US, AND NOW THE TRUCK IS MOVING.
00:26:54.61\00:26:57.78
SOMETHING IS GOING WRONG.
SO WE FIND OUT THAT .APPARENTLY
00:26:57.78\00:27:03.02
HE HAD A SUSPENDED LICENSE.
THE PEOPLE WAS BEING IMPOUNDED.
00:27:03.02\00:27:07.59
WE WERE GOING TO
JAIL. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:27:07.59\00:27:10.03
>> BUT PRAISE THE LORD, WE
HAVE -- WE HAVE SOMEONE ON HIGH
00:27:10.03\00:27:12.86
WHO IS LISTENING TO US. SO
WE BEGAN TO PRAY, AND WE'RE
00:27:12.86\00:27:17.27
PRAYING, CRYING OUT TO
THE LORD. THE TRUCK STOPS.
00:27:17.27\00:27:21.27
THE POLICE OFFICER GETS OUT
COMES AROUND TO THE BACK AND
00:27:21.27\00:27:24.54
STARTS LOOKING AT US,
INTENTLY SEARCHING FOR SOMEONE.
00:27:24.54\00:27:28.21
AND HE SAYS WHO
HAS BEEN PRAYING?
00:27:28.21\00:27:30.88
GOD HAS TOUCHED MY HEART, AND
HE TOLD ME TO LET YOU ALL GO.
00:27:30.88\00:27:34.78
SO WE GOES BACK ABOUT HIS
WAY, AND WE'RE ABLE TO CONTINUE.
00:27:34.78\00:27:38.19
AND SO MANY LIVES WERE ABLE TO
BE SAVED BECAUSE THE LORD WORKED
00:27:38.19\00:27:41.39
IT OUT. >> AMEN.
00:27:41.39\00:27:42.96
WHAT A FABULOUS
STORY. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:27:42.96\00:27:45.99
>> SO YOIND UP -- YOU HAVE THESE
SITUATIONS, PEOPLE DYING OF
00:27:45.99\00:27:48.80
EYEDS, HELP THEM
WITH THAT SITUATION.
00:27:48.80\00:27:51.50
YOU HAVE PEOPLE DYING OF
ILLNESS -- YOU KNOW, CHOLERA.
00:27:51.50\00:27:57.24
HELP THEM. AND
WE HAVE A PICTURE.
00:27:57.24\00:27:59.27
AND I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT
THIS PICTURE, AND LOOK AT THE
00:27:59.27\00:28:04.78
CHIEL -- THE CHILD -- CHILDREN
ARE STARVING, SO BEING ABLE TO
00:28:04.78\00:28:09.25
FEED -- THIS WAS ZAMBIA.
THERE WAS A HORRIBLE FAMINE,
00:28:09.25\00:28:15.12
THAT KIDS HADN'T EATEN A GOOD
MEAL IN WEEKS, AND JUST WAITING
00:28:15.12\00:28:20.60
TO DIE. THEY
WOULD PICK THE LITTLE
00:28:20.60\00:28:23.20
BERRIES OFF OF THE
PLANTS TRYING TO GET NUTRITION.
00:28:23.20\00:28:28.77
WE COME, AND WE WERE ABLE
TO START A FEEDING PROGRAM, AND
00:28:28.77\00:28:32.44
EVERY SINGLE DAY
GIVE THEM A MEAL.
00:28:32.44\00:28:34.51
AND JUST STEPPING IN, THE
PEOPLE -- THEY ARE NOT LIKE, WE
00:28:34.51\00:28:38.85
DON'T BELIEVE IN YOU.
THEY SAY, WHY DID YOU COME IN
00:28:38.85\00:28:41.98
TELL ME ABOUT
THE JESUS YOU SERVE.
00:28:41.98\00:28:44.42
>> YES. >> AND
EVEN WHEN YOU LISTEN TO
00:28:44.42\00:28:47.39
LAURA'S TESTIMONY, SHE WAS LIKE,
THAT LOVE -- IT'S THE LOVE.
00:28:47.39\00:28:51.43
IT'S NOTHING WE
REALLY DO. >> YEAH.
00:28:51.43\00:28:53.36
>> BUT IT'S JUST LIKE THE SAME
LOVE THAT SOMEONE SHOWED FOR ME,
00:28:53.36\00:28:59.40
LET ME SHOW FOR SOMEONE ELSE.
AND JUST LIKE MARLO SAYS, AND
00:28:59.40\00:29:04.17
THE BIBLE SAYS, AND ELLEN WHITE
SAYS, WHEN YOU SAVE OTHERS, YOU
00:29:04.17\00:29:09.84
ARE REALY SAVING YOURSELVES.
THIS IS GIVING US LIFE.
00:29:09.84\00:29:13.55
AND THE CRAZY THING IS, I
THINK ABOUT HOW IT ALL STARTED.
00:29:13.55\00:29:20.02
WE EACH HAVE OUR DIFFERENT
STORIES OF HOW WE JOIND NAPS.
00:29:20.02\00:29:23.73
SO I WANT TO GIVE PEOPLE THE
OPPORTUNITY JUST TO SHARE LIKE
00:29:23.73\00:29:27.10
HOW YOU GOT STARTED, AND WHAT
YOU FIND OUT IS SOMETIMES IT IS
00:29:27.10\00:29:31.60
A BIT CONNECTED. SO
MAYBE WE CAN START WITH
00:29:31.60\00:29:38.37
MADELINE. YOU CAN
SHARE JUST HOW -- HOW
00:29:38.37\00:29:39.97
DID YOU GET STARTED?
BECAUSE YOU STARTED YOUR
00:29:39.97\00:29:43.45
FRESHMAN YEAR, BUT AT FIRST
YOU WEREN'T REALLY IN NAPS.
00:29:43.45\00:29:47.72
>> YES, I WAS IN COLLEGE.
FIRST OFF I'M A [ INAUDIBLE ]
00:29:47.72\00:29:58.06
MAJOR. BUT I STARTED COLLEGE --
00:29:58.06\00:30:00.03
>> WHERE ARE YOU FROM,
MADELINE? >> FROM FLORIDA.
00:30:00.03\00:30:03.03
>> YOU SAID
FLORIDA. ADVENTIST FAMILY?
00:30:03.03\00:30:06.07
>> NOT EXACTLY. MY
MOTHER IS ADVENTIST, MY
00:30:06.07\00:30:10.91
FATHER ISN'T. BUT I
GREW UP IN ADVENTIST
00:30:10.91\00:30:14.21
EDUCATION, SO I KIND OF HAD
A GOOD FOUNDATION, SO TO SPEAK.
00:30:14.21\00:30:19.21
>> OKAY. >> I
ALSO GO TO AN ADVENTIST
00:30:19.21\00:30:23.39
COLLEGE, AND, YOU KNOW,
FIRST SEMESTER IT WAS NICE.
00:30:23.39\00:30:25.95
IT WAS ACTUALLY A SCHOOL THEY
KNEW THAT GOD WAS CALLING ME TO.
00:30:25.95\00:30:30.59
BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING OFF.
I JUST DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY GOD
00:30:30.59\00:30:35.30
HAD BROUGHT ME THERE. IT
WAS LIKE I KNOW YOU CALLED ME
00:30:35.30\00:30:38.47
HERE, BUT WHY? AND I
ACTUALLY KNEW KRISTEN
00:30:38.47\00:30:43.67
PRIOR TO GOING TO SCHOOL,
BECAUSE SHE GOES TO MY CHURCH.
00:30:43.67\00:30:47.34
AND AFTER THAT FIRST SEMESTER,
I WENT BACK HOME FOR CHRISTMAS
00:30:47.34\00:30:52.45
BREAK. AND SHE
SAID, MADELINE, I'M PART
00:30:52.45\00:30:54.75
OF THIS GROUP, WE'RE
GOING OUT TO DO A MISSION.
00:30:54.75\00:30:58.25
AND THEY WERE DOING A MISSION?
MIAMI, FLORIDA WHERE I LIVE.
00:30:58.25\00:31:04.73
AND SHE WAS LIKE YOU
SHOULD SEE WHAT WE DO.
00:31:04.73\00:31:07.50
AND I WAS LIKE, YEAH, OKAY. AND
THAT WAS IT.-AND TOWARDS THE END
00:31:07.50\00:31:12.27
OF HER MISSION, SHE CALLED ME
AND LET ME KNOW THEY WERE GOING
00:31:12.27\00:31:16.37
TO A JUVENILE DEPENSION CENTER.
AND SHE REALLY WANTED ME TO
00:31:16.37\00:31:20.44
COME. AND I THOUGHT, OKAY.
00:31:20.44\00:31:22.08
SO I WENT, BUT I WAS REALLY
NERVOUS, BECAUSE I HAD NEVER
00:31:22.08\00:31:25.98
BEEN TO A JUVENILE
DETENTION CENTER IN MY LIFE.
00:31:25.98\00:31:30.42
SO-SO MANY FEARS AND THOUGHTS
RAN THROUGH MY MIND, BUT I
00:31:30.42\00:31:33.49
DECIDED TO GO ANYWAYS, AND
SO I WENT, AND WE WALKED IN THE
00:31:33.49\00:31:38.16
CENTER, AND TO SEE THE FACES OF
THE -- THE GUYS THERE, IT DIDN'T
00:31:38.16\00:31:43.50
SEEM LIKE THEY TOOK US
SERIOUSLY, SO I WAS LIKE, OH,
00:31:43.50\00:31:47.17
NO, THIS IS GOING
TO BE A TRAIN WRECK.
00:31:47.17\00:31:49.60
THIS IS GOING TOEN HORRIBLY, BUT
WE CONTINUED WITH THE PROGRAM AS
00:31:49.60\00:31:54.64
USUAL. SIMILAR TO THE CHILDREN'S
00:31:54.64\00:31:56.01
PROGRAMS THAT WE DO IN THE
COMMUNITIES AND OVERSEAS, WE DID
00:31:56.01\00:32:00.08
ONE FOR THEM. AND
AS WE WERE CONTINUING
00:32:00.08\00:32:02.42
THROUGH THE PROGRAM, I COULD
SEE THE TRANSFORMATION IN THEIR
00:32:02.42\00:32:06.62
FACES. AND IT WAS
LIKE SOMETHING I HAD
00:32:06.62\00:32:09.09
SEEN BEFORE. AND BY
THE END OF IT, WE MADE AN
00:32:09.09\00:32:12.86
APPEAL FOR ANYONE WHO WANTED
TO ACCEPT CHRIST AS THEIR SAVIOR
00:32:12.86\00:32:16.50
AND FOR THEM TO WANT TO
START A NEW LIFE IN CHRIST.
00:32:16.50\00:32:19.43
AND SO EVERYONE STOOD UP, AND
I REMEMBER THEY WERE ASKING ME
00:32:19.43\00:32:23.47
QUESTIONS LIKE WHAT
SCHOOL DO YOU GO TO?
00:32:23.47\00:32:26.21
LIKE WHERE ARE YOU GUYS FROM?
PLEASE COME BACK, AND IT WAS
00:32:26.21\00:32:30.11
CRAZY TO ME, BECAUSE IT WAS
LIKE, ARE THESE THE SAME PEOPLE
00:32:30.11\00:32:33.88
THAT WE SAW WHEN
WE FIRST WALKED IN.
00:32:33.88\00:32:36.12
AND THT WAS AN EYE OPENER FOR
ME, AND THAT'S WHEN I KNEW THIS
00:32:36.12\00:32:40.59
IS WHAT I WANT TO DO
FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
00:32:40.59\00:32:44.33
AND IT HAS BEEN A
BLESSING. >> PRAISE THE LORD.
00:32:44.33\00:32:47.03
THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR THAT TESTIMONY.
00:32:47.03\00:32:49.80
BEAUTIFUL. BEAUTIFUL.
00:32:49.80\00:32:51.00
SO YOU ARE A BIT
OF AN EVANGELIST.
00:32:51.00\00:32:54.30
KRISTEN. >> I GUESS SO, RIGHT?
00:32:54.30\00:32:56.64
[ LAUGHTER ] >> A RECRUIT.
00:32:56.64\00:32:58.34
PRAISE THE LORD. >> OH,
GOD -- YOU KNOW, IT'S AN
00:32:58.34\00:33:01.88
INTERESTING STORY FOR HOT
IT HAPPENED FOR ME AS WELL.
00:33:01.88\00:33:04.48
WE GREW UP TOGETHER AT THE SAME
CHURCH, AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT
00:33:04.48\00:33:07.92
THERE WAS SOMEBODY AT OUR CHURCH
WHO WAS IN NAPS EVEN PRIOR TO ME
00:33:07.92\00:33:13.36
JOINING, AND THE SAME
THING SORT OF HAPPENED.
00:33:13.36\00:33:16.73
DARLA SAID SOMETHING THAT REALLY
STOOD OUT TO ME BEFORE, WHEN SHE
00:33:16.73\00:33:21.20
JOINED NAPS, YOU KNOW, SHE
FELT LIKE SHE GAINED A PURPOSE.
00:33:21.20\00:33:23.87
AND I REMEMBER I WAS IN
11TH GRADE WHEN NAPS CAME TO MY
00:33:23.87\00:33:28.07
CHURCH, YOU KNOW? AND
I MEAN WHAT A BLESSING IT
00:33:28.07\00:33:30.74
WAS. I REMEMBER
-- THEY WERE PLAYING
00:33:30.74\00:33:32.31
THEIR VIDEO. I WAS
USHERING AT CHURCH THAT
00:33:32.31\00:33:35.14
DAY, I REMEMBER. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:33:35.14\00:33:36.54
>> AND I WAS CRYING. I
WAS LIKE, OH MY GOODNESS THESE
00:33:36.54\00:33:40.68
ARE THESE YOUNG
PEOPLE DOING THIS.
00:33:40.68\00:33:43.02
AND AT THAT TIME, THERE
WERE ACTUALLY SOME PEOPLE AT MY
00:33:43.02\00:33:46.32
CHURCH WHO WERE DOING BIBLE
STUDIES AND MY SISTER WOULD TAKE
00:33:46.32\00:33:49.59
ME TO THE BIBLE STUDIES AND
STUFF LIKE THAT, AND I WAS LIKE,
00:33:49.59\00:33:53.60
MAN, THIS IS
SOMETHING I REALLY WANT TO DO.
00:33:53.60\00:33:55.63
I HAD RECENTLY GOTTEN
REBAPTIZED, AND, YOU KNOW, I WAS
00:33:55.63\00:34:00.17
MAKING THE DECISION, YOU KNOW,
TO GO OFF TO COLLEGE, GO WHERE,
00:34:00.17\00:34:04.37
YOU KNOW, THE
LORD WANTED ME TO BE.
00:34:04.37\00:34:06.04
I ENDED UP GOING TO OAKWOOD AND
I WAS REALLY PRAYING, AND I DID
00:34:06.04\00:34:11.15
HAVE A LOT OF BACKLASH ON THE
DECISION FROM MY PARENTS, BUT IN
00:34:11.15\00:34:14.65
THE END THEY DID END UP
SUPPORTING ME, AND SOMETHING
00:34:14.65\00:34:19.55
THAT I REALLY SAW IN NAPS
COMPARED -- YOU KNOW, I GUESS TO
00:34:19.55\00:34:23.83
THE CAMPUSES, THERE WERE
SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN THE YOUNG
00:34:23.83\00:34:28.26
PEOPLE, AND THAT WAS SOMETHING
THAT I PRAYED ABOUT BEFORE I
00:34:28.26\00:34:31.83
WENT OFF TO COLLEGE. I
SAID GOD BLESS ME WITH GODLY
00:34:31.83\00:34:36.54
FRIENDS, AND WHO WOULD HAVE
KNOWN THAT WE WOULD BLESS ME
00:34:36.54\00:34:40.98
WITH THIS GODLY
GROUP. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:34:40.98\00:34:43.48
>> SO I HAD MORE
FRIENDS THAN I COULD HANDLE.
00:34:43.48\00:34:47.88
AND EVEN MY FIRST ENCOUNTER,
A FRIEND SAID, KRISTEN LET'S GO
00:34:47.88\00:34:53.66
PICK VEGETABLES AT
AN OLD GUY'S HOUSE.
00:34:53.66\00:34:57.03
AND THAT'S WHAT THEY TOLD ME.
SO I SAID, WE GET EXERCISE, AND
00:34:57.03\00:35:01.36
IT TURNED OUT TO
BE DR. PAUL'S HOUSE.
00:35:01.36\00:35:04.50
>> OH, THAT'S THE
OLD GUY? [ LAUGHTER ]
00:35:04.50\00:35:07.84
>> YES. >> I'M
SURE HE IS HAPPY TO HEAR
00:35:07.84\00:35:11.01
THAT. >> OH, YEAH.
00:35:11.01\00:35:13.54
SO WE'RE PUSHING
SQUASH, I'M THERE.
00:35:13.54\00:35:16.68
I'M LOVING IT. BUT THE
ONE THING THAT STOOD OUT
00:35:16.68\00:35:19.55
TO ME, JUST AS THE CARPENTERS
SAID TO ME, WAS THE LOVE.
00:35:19.55\00:35:24.15
>> YES. >> THAT WAS
SOMETHING SO STRANGE
00:35:24.15\00:35:26.25
TO ME, ESPECIALLY COMING FROM
MORE OF A SUBURBAN AREA, YOU
00:35:26.25\00:35:32.93
DON'T KNOW MANY PEOPLE WHO WILL
STOP YOU AND GIVE YOU A HUG.
00:35:32.93\00:35:37.43
IT'S MORE LIKE HEY,
AND YOU GO YOUR OWN WAY.
00:35:37.43\00:35:40.20
AND PEOPLE REALLY CARED,
AND THAT'S WHAT STOOD OUT.
00:35:40.20\00:35:43.17
AND AS I BEGAN TO GO ON
MISSIONS, AND WORK IN ANY
00:35:43.17\00:35:46.61
LOW-INCOME COMMUNITIES, AND
DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT, VERY
00:35:46.61\00:35:50.78
QUICKLY, I BEGAN TO FIND THAT
PURPOSE THAT I FELT LIKE I WAS
00:35:50.78\00:35:54.28
LACKING. >> UH-HUH.
00:35:54.28\00:35:55.22
>> AND THERE'S BEEN A WHOLE
EPIDEMIC OF YOUNG PEOPLE LEAVING
00:35:55.22\00:35:59.12
THE CHURCH. >> UH-HUH.
00:35:59.12\00:36:00.92
>> AND ONE OF THOSE REASONS IS
BECAUSE I -- I FEEL LIKE MANY OF
00:36:00.92\00:36:04.83
THESE YOUNG PEOPLE
DON'T SEE THEIR PURPOSE.
00:36:04.83\00:36:07.60
AND SOMETIMES WE'LL SIT DOWN,
LISTEN TO SERMONS ALL DAY, AND
00:36:07.60\00:36:11.97
GUESS WHAT, WHAT DO YOU
DO WITH THE SERMON AFTER?
00:36:11.97\00:36:15.10
ARE YOU GOING TO LIVE IT OUT?
OR IS IT GO JUST GOING TO BE
00:36:15.10\00:36:19.27
SOMETHING THAT YOU HEARD.
AND TRULY THIS MINISTRY HAS BEEN
00:36:19.27\00:36:22.54
SOMETHING WHERE YOU ARE LIVING
OUT SERMONS EVERY SINGLE DAY.
00:36:22.54\00:36:25.61
>> AMEN. >> AND
YOU SEE THE EFFECTS OF
00:36:25.61\00:36:29.85
IT. I HAVE THIS
YOUNG GIRL SITTING
00:36:29.85\00:36:31.39
NEXT TO ME, AND SHE IS A
TESTIMONY OF WHAT GOD DOES IN
00:36:31.39\00:36:35.69
PEOPLE'S LIVES. >> AMEN.
00:36:35.69\00:36:37.46
>> AND HOW HE CAN USE YOU TO
MAKE SUCH AN A PROFOUND IMPACT
00:36:37.46\00:36:41.76
IN THE WORLD. TRULY
IT HAS BEEN A BLESSING.
00:36:41.76\00:36:47.74
>> PRAISE THE LORD.
WHAT EXCITING STUFF.
00:36:47.74\00:36:50.17
>> AND THE INTERESTING
THING IS -- LIKE NOW, WE'RE
00:36:50.17\00:36:56.14
CELEB CELEBRATING,
YOU KNOW, 40 YEARS.
00:36:56.14\00:36:57.75
AND I THINK MANY TIMES I FIND
MYSELF LIKE -- THE POWER OF ONE,
00:36:57.75\00:37:03.82
YOU KNOW? ONE
PERSON BEING WILLING.
00:37:03.82\00:37:05.95
BECAUSE DR. PAUL BACK IN 1978,
YOU KNOW, HE WAS SEEING ETHIOPIA
00:37:05.95\00:37:14.83
FAMINE. WE HAVE AN
EARLY PICTURE OF HIM.
00:37:14.83\00:37:17.80
[ LAUGHTER ] >> HE --
YEAH, THIS IS OUR EARLY
00:37:17.80\00:37:21.04
PICTURE OF DOC, AND HE
WAS SEEING THE ETHIOPIA FAMINE
00:37:21.04\00:37:27.64
SITUATION, CHILDREN
STARVING AVENUE HE WANTED TO DO
00:37:27.64\00:37:30.25
SOMETHING, BUT IT'S AMAZING
HOW -- LIKE IF HE HAD DECIDED,
00:37:30.25\00:37:34.95
NO, I'M NOT EQUIPPED, I'M NOT
THE ONE, HOW MUCH HE WOULD NEVER
00:37:34.95\00:37:40.12
KNOW THA GOD WAS
GOING TO DO THROUGH HIM.
00:37:40.12\00:37:42.42
>> YES. YES.
00:37:42.42\00:37:43.86
>> AND AS I SAID -- THE ANGELS.
THERE'S A CHAPTER IN CHRISTIAN
00:37:43.86\00:37:48.63
SERVICE CALLED THE
ASSURANCE OF SUCCESS.
00:37:48.63\00:37:52.63
IT'S CHAPTER 26, AND I
ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO READ IT.
00:37:52.63\00:37:56.40
BECAUSE SOMETIMES WHEN WE GO
OUT, WE'RE NERVOUS, AND WORRIED
00:37:56.40\00:37:59.87
ABOUT THE RESULTS. BUT
GOD IS LIKE, WHEN YOU HOOK
00:37:59.87\00:38:03.11
ARMS WITH ME, YOU GAIN THE
OMNIPOTENCE OF ME, BECAUSE I
00:38:03.11\00:38:11.85
HAVE LEADING EVERYTHING.
BECAUSE HONESTLY HOW MUCH CAN
00:38:11.85\00:38:15.02
ONE MAN DO TO HELP
AN ETHIOPIAN FAMINE?
00:38:15.02\00:38:20.76
BUT GOD INTENDED FOR SO
MUCH MORE, FOR SO MANY LIVES,
00:38:20.76\00:38:26.53
INCLUDING MY OWN THAT HAD
BEEN CHANGED FOR ETERNITY.
00:38:26.53\00:38:34.71
WHEN I START TO THINK
ABOUT WHERE I COULD BE.
00:38:34.71\00:38:36.98
THERE ARE SO MANY
PLACES THAT I COULD BE.
00:38:36.98\00:38:39.85
BUT THIS HAS NOT JUST
CHANGED OTHERS LIVES, BUT IT HAS
00:38:39.85\00:38:44.59
CHANGED-MINE. AND EVERYWHERE WE
GO -- IT'S INTERESTING, BECAUSE
00:38:44.59\00:38:48.06
NAPS STARTED WITH -- AS I SAID
THERE'S AN EARLY PICTURE OF DOC
00:38:48.06\00:38:52.33
FEEDING -- >> DO
WE HAVE THAT PICTURE?
00:38:52.33\00:38:54.30
>> YES, WE ACTUALLY DO.
>> LET'S FIND THAT PICTURE.
00:38:54.30\00:38:58.43
THAT'S A PICTURE I
WANT TO SEE. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:38:58.43\00:39:01.37
>> YEAH, AND YOU CAN SEE THE
STARVATION IN THIS CHILD, YOU
00:39:01.37\00:39:04.81
KNOW? AND DOC --
IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE HE
00:39:04.81\00:39:07.18
TELLS THE STORY ABOUT BEING
ON THE PLANE IN ONE OF HIS FIRST
00:39:07.18\00:39:11.21
MISSIONS, AND HE WAS SITTING
NEXT TO A GUY, AND I MIGHT BE
00:39:11.21\00:39:16.18
SAYING IT WRONG, BUT HE IS NOT
SITTING HERE, SO I CAN SAY WHAT
00:39:16.18\00:39:20.89
I WANT TO SAY. AND HE
IS LIKE, I'M GOING ON A
00:39:20.89\00:39:24.16
TRIP TO HELP PEOPLE, BUT
THIS IS JUST A ONE TIME THING.
00:39:24.16\00:39:27.40
AND THE GUY IS LIKE,
THAT'S WHAT I SAID 29 YEARS AGO.
00:39:27.40\00:39:31.40
AND NOW LOOKING 40 YEARS LATER,
GOD HAS TAKEN A LITTLE WILLING
00:39:31.40\00:39:37.01
HEART. AND JUST WITH THAT LITTLE
00:39:37.01\00:39:39.37
WILLINGNESS, AND THAT LITTLE BIT
OF FAITH, AND HE HAS JUST MOVED
00:39:39.37\00:39:43.68
MOUNTAINS. >> YES.
00:39:43.68\00:39:45.35
YES. >> AND EVEN
LIKE LOOKING -- WE
00:39:45.35\00:39:47.58
HAVE A PICTURE FROM -- WE HAVE
A PICTURE FROM EARLY -- WHEN WE
00:39:47.58\00:39:51.85
FIRST STARTED FEEDING UNDER
THE BRIDGE -- FEEDING UNDER THE
00:39:51.85\00:39:55.09
BRIDGE, AND DOING DIFFERENT
HOMELESS FEEDINGS, WE THOUGHT
00:39:55.09\00:39:58.63
THAT WAS -- THAT
WAS IT, YOU KNOW?
00:39:58.63\00:40:01.20
AS YOU ARE GOING TO DIFFERENT
PLACES, BUT AS YOU NOTICE, IT
00:40:01.20\00:40:05.63
WASN'T JUST PASS THE
FOOD AND GO, THERE WAS A LOVE.
00:40:05.63\00:40:09.00
A JOY. DO YOU SEE THE GUY.
00:40:09.00\00:40:12.24
HE'S LIVING IN A CARDBOARD
BOX, BUT THE GIVERS ARE NOT JUST
00:40:12.24\00:40:17.18
GIVING HIM A MEAL, BUT
THEY ARE GIVING HIM JESUS.
00:40:17.18\00:40:19.78
>> AMEN. >> AMEN.
00:40:19.78\00:40:21.75
>> IN THE REAL FORM,
NOT JUST WITH A NAME.
00:40:21.75\00:40:24.49
>> UH-HUH. >> AND
-- AND I THINK IT JUST
00:40:24.49\00:40:27.46
CHANGED MY WHOLE
PERSPECTIVE OF CHRISTIANITY.
00:40:27.46\00:40:31.33
AND WHAT GETS ME IS
THERE IS SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE.
00:40:31.33\00:40:35.03
I HAVE SHED SOME TEARS
EVEN IN ETHIOPIA, IT WAS 3:00
00:40:35.03\00:40:40.44
AM -- BECAUSE YOU GET JET LAG,
BUT IT WAS 3:00 AM, AND I WAS
00:40:40.44\00:40:46.14
LEAPING, BECAUSE I WAS THINKING
THERE ARE SO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE
00:40:46.14\00:40:48.98
RIGHT NOW, AND THEY ARE
ASKING THE LORD, WHY AM I HERE?
00:40:48.98\00:40:54.35
I'M WORTHLESS. EVERY
DAY I HERE ABOUT SUICIDES
00:40:54.35\00:40:58.35
AND PEOPLE TAKING THEIR LIVES.
AND THE DEVIL IS DECEIVING GOD'S
00:40:58.35\00:41:06.06
CHILDREN. >> VERY TRUE.
00:41:06.06\00:41:07.36
>> EVEN THE LITTLEST
TALENT CAN DO SO MUCH.
00:41:07.36\00:41:14.14
AND THEN YOU HAVE GROUPS LIKE
NAPS, WHERE IF ONLY WE HAD MORE.
00:41:14.14\00:41:19.21
HERE IN THE U.S.,
WE NEED MORE LABORERS.
00:41:19.21\00:41:23.88
THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE PRAYING
AND CRYING, BUT WE NEED MORE
00:41:23.88\00:41:27.48
YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING
TO, YOU KNOW, HOLD UP THE PLOW,
00:41:27.48\00:41:33.22
BECOME RIGHTLY TRAINED AND MAKE
A DIFFERENCE, AND THERE ARE SO
00:41:33.22\00:41:38.59
MANY LIVES THAT CAN
CHANGED AS A RESULT.
00:41:38.59\00:41:41.90
>> WHEN YOU ARE WORKING SO HARD
FOR THE LORD, YOU DON'T HAVE
00:41:41.90\00:41:45.20
TIME TO GET DEPRESSED AND
START THINKING ABOUT SUICIDE.
00:41:45.20\00:41:48.37
BECAUSE AS YOU GIVE OUT, THE
LORD IS REPLACING, REPLACING,
00:41:48.37\00:41:52.91
REPLACING. >> DEFINITELY.
00:41:52.91\00:41:54.21
>> PLUS THE LOVE THAT YOU GUYS
SHARE -- AND I HAVE HEARD THIS
00:41:54.21\00:41:58.48
OUT OF EVERY PERSON HERE, THAT
THERE IS THIS LOVE THING THAT IS
00:41:58.48\00:42:02.65
GOING ON, THAT IS ENVELOPING
AND MOTIVATING AND GIVING YOU
00:42:02.65\00:42:07.92
ENERGY. IT'S LIKE GASOLINE.
00:42:07.92\00:42:09.79
YOU KNOW, WE RUN ON THIS STUFF.
THE FACT THAT WE REALLY LOVE
00:42:09.79\00:42:14.30
EACH OTHER. WE
REALLY LOVE THE LORD.
00:42:14.30\00:42:17.33
AND THAT'S ENOUGH
TO GET YOU MOVING.
00:42:17.33\00:42:20.30
AND THEN THE LORD GIVES YOU VERY
TANGIBLE EVIDENCE THAT HE IS
00:42:20.30\00:42:27.88
WITH YOUR WORK. AND
THEN HE SHOWS YOU HE IS
00:42:27.88\00:42:31.28
RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE. SO
NOW YOU ARE ABLE TO FACE
00:42:31.28\00:42:34.65
ANOTHER DAY. AND WE
HAVE HEARD THAT FOR YEARS
00:42:34.65\00:42:38.19
OF NAPS. IT'S IN
THE VERY FIBER, THE DNA
00:42:38.19\00:42:42.89
OF THIS ORGANIZATION. >>
YES, AND TORRE, YOU ARE NOT
00:42:42.89\00:42:46.46
GOING TO GET LEFT OUT. GO AHEAD.
00:42:46.46\00:42:48.26
>> LIKE YOU SAID, LOVE AND
HOPE, ARE TWO POWERFUL THINGS.
00:42:48.26\00:42:53.30
WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT WE HAVE
IN OUR HANDS AND IN OUR HEARTS
00:42:53.30\00:42:57.91
ETERNITY TO GIVE TO PEOPLE.
LIKE THIS GOSPEL ISN'T SOMETHING
00:42:57.91\00:43:01.78
THAT IS FAKE. IT IS REAL.
00:43:01.78\00:43:03.88
AND IT PROVIDES A HEAVEN, AND
TIME WITH JESUS, AND THAT IS SO
00:43:03.88\00:43:07.95
CRUCIAL THAT WE SHARE THIS WITH
PEOPLE AS WE GO OUT INTO THE
00:43:07.95\00:43:11.89
DIFFERENT CITIES, WE HAVE
THESE THINGS THAT WE CALL IMPACT
00:43:11.89\00:43:15.09
MISSIONS. AND OUR
GOAL IS JUST TO MAKE AN
00:43:15.09\00:43:18.69
IMPACT IN THE CITY. AND
WHEN YOU ARE KNOCKING ON
00:43:18.69\00:43:21.80
DOORS, THERE IS THAT NERVOUSNESS
AND FEAR IN THE HEART, BUT WHEN
00:43:21.80\00:43:25.73
THE DOORS OPEN -- I CAN TELL YOU
THIS ONE MAN OPENED THE DOOR,
00:43:25.73\00:43:31.24
GUFF LIKE, WHAT DO YOU WANT?
AND IT SHAKES YOU, AND UNNERVES
00:43:31.24\00:43:36.81
YOU, BUT WHEN YOU REMEMBER
THAT YOU ARE WORKING FOR GOD, IT
00:43:36.81\00:43:40.52
GIVES YOU THAT POWER.
AND I GIVE HIM PEACE IN THE
00:43:40.52\00:43:47.06
STORM. AND HE
SAID HOW DID YOU KNOW?
00:43:47.06\00:43:49.72
THIS IS WHAT I
NEEDED IN MY LIFE.
00:43:49.72\00:43:52.66
AND HE BEGINS TO
POUR HIS HEART OUT TO ME.
00:43:52.66\00:43:55.53
AND IMAGINE IF I HAD SAID, I
DON'T FEEL LIKE GOING OUT TODAY.
00:43:55.53\00:43:59.27
>> RIGHT. >>
THAT'S THE OPPORTUNITY.
00:43:59.27\00:44:02.37
IF I CAN GIVE ONE WORD TO
YOUNG PEOPLE OUT THERE, GO OUT.
00:44:02.37\00:44:05.47
YOU ARE MISSING ON TESTIMONIES
THAT GOD HAS FOR EACH AND EVERY
00:44:05.47\00:44:09.64
ONE OF US.
BECAUSE WE HAVE SEEN EVERY
00:44:09.64\00:44:12.28
MISSION WE GO ON. AND
IT'S NOT I'M PREACHING A
00:44:12.28\00:44:17.89
SERMON, I'M LITERALLY
TAKING A BOOK AND SAYING HERE.
00:44:17.89\00:44:21.46
GOD IS JUST LOOKING
FOR WILLING VESSELS.
00:44:21.46\00:44:25.09
>> PRAISE THE LORD. DO
YOU FIND THAT WHEN YOU IMPACT
00:44:25.09\00:44:27.30
A CITY LIKE THAT, WHEN YOU SORT
OF TACKLE A CITY, THAT MOST OF
00:44:27.30\00:44:31.27
THE PEOPLE ARE RECEPTIVE
TO WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO?
00:44:31.27\00:44:34.14
>> OH, DEFINITELY.
EVERYWHERE YOU GO, YOU ARE GOING
00:44:34.14\00:44:39.24
TO HAVE SOME CONTENTIONS.
BUT WHEN YOU HAVE GOD ON YOUR
00:44:39.24\00:44:42.58
SIDE, THERE ARE
PEOPLE STARVING FOR HOPE.
00:44:42.58\00:44:45.21
WHEN THEY SEE THE LOVE THAT THE
NAPS GROUP BRINGS, THEY ARE JUST
00:44:45.21\00:44:50.55
SURPRISED, SO WHEN THEY RECEIVE
THAT, IT OPENS PEOPLE HEARTS NOT
00:44:50.55\00:44:54.09
JUST TO RECEIVE US, BUT
MORE IMPORTANTLY TO RECEIVE THE
00:44:54.09\00:44:58.36
GOSPEL. >> NAPS IS
ON THIS CAMPUS QUITE
00:44:58.36\00:45:00.10
A LOT. YOU ARE HERE FOR OUR CAMP
00:45:00.10\00:45:03.43
MEETINGS, AND DEAL
WITH OUR YOUNG PEOPLE.
00:45:03.43\00:45:05.50
AND I HAVE HEARD MANY MEME SAY,
THESE KIDS ARE SMILING ALL THE
00:45:05.50\00:45:10.41
TIME. DO THEY
EVER HAVE A BAD DAY.
00:45:10.41\00:45:13.11
[ LAUGHTER ] >> AND I
SAID SAY IT'S JUST PART
00:45:13.11\00:45:16.14
OF WHO YOU ARE. WHEN
YOU SEE THE NAPS GANG, YOU
00:45:16.14\00:45:20.28
ARE GOING TO SEE A SMILING
FACE. >> PRAISE THE LORD.
00:45:20.28\00:45:24.49
>> AND TORREY WAS TALKING ABOUT
THESE CITY IMPACT MISSIONS.
00:45:24.49\00:45:30.16
WHENEVER WE HAVE A BREAK,
WE GO TO DIFFERENT CITIES.
00:45:30.16\00:45:33.13
SO IF IT'S THANKSGIVING BREAK,
CHRISTMAS BREAK, SPRING BREAK,
00:45:33.13\00:45:39.37
YOU KNOW, EVEN SUMMER BREAK,
WE'RE GOING TO GO TO AS MANY
00:45:39.37\00:45:43.14
CITIES AS WE CAN. AND
SOMETIMES WE SPLIT UP.
00:45:43.14\00:45:46.31
SO NOW INSTEAD OF ONE
CITY, WE CAN HIT THREE.
00:45:46.31\00:45:49.68
AND I KEEP LOOKING --
MADELINE, WE WERE RECENTLY IN A
00:45:49.68\00:45:53.01
CITY -- I'M NOT GOING TO SAY
WHICH ONE, BUT WE WERE RECENTLY
00:45:53.01\00:45:58.25
IN A PLACE, AND WE WERE
ABLE TO GO TO A CHURCH TOGETHER.
00:45:58.25\00:46:02.46
IT WAS ONE OF OUR ADVENTIST
CHURCHES, AND SHARE TESTIMONIES.
00:46:02.46\00:46:08.46
AND IF YOU CAN SHARE A
BIT OF WHY IT WASN'T JUST AN
00:46:08.46\00:46:13.20
ENCOURAGEMENT FOR US, BUT
-- YEAH, YOU CAN SHARE MORE.
00:46:13.20\00:46:16.24
>> YEAH, WE WENT TO THIS NICE
LOVING SMALL CHURCH, AND THE
00:46:16.24\00:46:20.58
PASTOR WAS SO KIND TO LET US
ACTUALLY HAVE THE SERMON TIME TO
00:46:20.58\00:46:23.95
SHARE WITH THE DHUR. >> OH, WOW.
00:46:23.95\00:46:26.48
PRAISE THE LORD. >>
SO I'M LOOKING AT DARLA,
00:46:26.48\00:46:31.82
LIKE, WHAT AM I GOIG TO
DO WITH ALL OF THIS TIME?
00:46:31.82\00:46:34.99
AND SHE IS LIKE, WE
HAVE TESTIMONIES FOR DAS.
00:46:34.99\00:46:38.26
THERE ARE SO MANY TESTIMONIES
THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US.
00:46:38.26\00:46:42.10
AND SO I WAS LIKE, WE'RE GOING
TO SHARE TESTIMONIES THAT WE
00:46:42.10\00:46:45.13
HAVE EXPERIENCED AS A GROUP.
SO ACTUALLY THE THEME WE HAD
00:46:45.13\00:46:51.51
COME UP WITH WAS GOD'S
FAITHFULNESS, HIS AND OURS.
00:46:51.51\00:46:55.54
>> OH. >> SO JUST EXPRESSING
00:46:55.54\00:46:57.41
HOW -- WHEN WE'RE FAITHFUL, LIKE
GOD IS FAITHFUL AS WELL, LIKE HE
00:46:57.41\00:47:02.22
DOESN'T LEAVE US BY
OURSELVES JUST TO TRY.
00:47:02.22\00:47:05.05
YOU KNOW? HE
ACTUALLY TAKES CARE OF US,
00:47:05.05\00:47:07.56
AND SO AS WE WERE SHARING
DIFFERENT TESTIMONIES, I'M
00:47:07.56\00:47:10.69
SEEING THE DIFFERENT FACES ON
THE PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE, AND
00:47:10.69\00:47:14.73
JUST LIKE THEIR RECEPTIVENESS TO
WHAT WE WERE SAYING, AND TOWARDS
00:47:14.73\00:47:19.93
THE END, YOU KNOW, WE'R TRYING
TO FIGURE OUT SHOULD WE SING A
00:47:19.93\00:47:24.31
SONG, SHOULD WE NOT? AND
WE DECIDED WE'RE GOING TO
00:47:24.31\00:47:27.41
SING A SONG. AND
IMMEDIATELY YOU SEE TEARS
00:47:27.41\00:47:31.68
POURING FROM EVERYONE'S EYES,
AND IT WAS JUST THE TWO OF US.
00:47:31.68\00:47:35.25
WE LIKE TO SING AS A
GROUP BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF
00:47:35.25\00:47:40.86
HARMONIES. BUT
THERE WERE JUST TWO OF US,
00:47:40.86\00:47:42.69
SO WE WERE LIKE WHAT
ARE WE DO GOING TO DO?
00:47:42.69\00:47:47.13
BUT THE ANGELS WERE WITH US, SO
AS WE WERE SINGING, HEARTS ARE
00:47:47.13\00:47:51.60
CLEARLY TOUCHED, AND THE PASTOR
CAME UP AFTER US, AND JUST
00:47:51.60\00:47:55.80
SHARED HOW HE WAS GOING THROUGH
A REALLY HARD TIME, AND JUST THE
00:47:55.80\00:47:59.81
DAY BEFORE, THAT FRIDA, HE
-- HE WAS JUST GOING THROUGH
00:47:59.81\00:48:03.91
SUCH A HARD TIME HE DIDN'T KNOW
HOW TO DEAL WITH IT, SO JUST TO
00:48:03.91\00:48:07.85
HAVE US COME THERE AND
SHARE TESTIMONIES OF HOW GOD IS
00:48:07.85\00:48:11.02
FAITHFUL, AND HE WILL CARRY YOU
THROUGH WAS AN ENCOURAGEMENT TO
00:48:11.02\00:48:15.56
HIM TO KNOW LIKE GOD IS WIT HIM.
00:48:15.56\00:48:17.73
EVEN THOUGH A LOT OF THE TIMES
WE THINK THAT PASTORS, YOU KNOW,
00:48:17.73\00:48:20.80
THEY HAVE IT ALL TOGETHER,
THEY -- THEY CAN'T POSSIBLY GET
00:48:20.80\00:48:24.33
DISCOURAGED, BUT A LOT OF THEM
GET DISCOURAGED, AND SOMETIMES
00:48:24.33\00:48:28.20
WE'RE ABLE TO ENCOURAGE THEM,
AND KEEP THEM GOING SO THEY CAN
00:48:28.20\00:48:31.81
TOUCH MORE LIVES. SO
THT WAS ONE THING THAT I
00:48:31.81\00:48:34.84
WASN'T EXPECTING, BECAUSE,
YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO REALLY
00:48:34.84\00:48:37.81
MINISTER TO THEM, BUT THAT
TESTIMONY THAT HE HAD ACTUALLY
00:48:37.81\00:48:42.52
MINISTERED TO ME, LETTING US
KNOW THAT GOD HAD US THERE FOR A
00:48:42.52\00:48:48.99
REASON. >> AND
YOU WERE GOING TO SAY
00:48:48.99\00:48:51.39
SOMETHING? >>
THESE IMPACT MISSIONS ARE
00:48:51.39\00:48:53.03
ALSO PREPARATION. A LOT
OF TIMES WHEN WE GO TO A
00:48:53.03\00:48:56.36
CITY, WE DON'T STAY IN HOTELS.
WE'RE WILLING TO STAY WHEREVER
00:48:56.36\00:49:04.71
GOD OPENS THE DOOR. MANY
TIMES THEY MAY BE A CHURCH
00:49:04.71\00:49:09.28
IN THE SABBATH SCHOOL CLASSROOMS
WITH OUR SLEEPING BAGS.
00:49:09.28\00:49:14.65
SOMETIMES THAT ALLOWS ONE OF THE
ADVENTIST SCHOOLS TO OPEN UP,
00:49:14.65\00:49:17.35
AND WE'RE ABLE TO ROOM THERE,
WHICH IS NICE BECAUSE THEY HAVE
00:49:17.35\00:49:22.09
SHOWERS A LOT OF TIMES. BUT
NO MATTER WHAT TYPE OF PLACE
00:49:22.09\00:49:26.36
THAT WE STAY IN, LIKE
GOD ALWAYS OPENS EXTRA DOORS.
00:49:26.36\00:49:31.93
WE DO LITERATURE
EVANGELISM AS TORREY WAS SAYING.
00:49:31.93\00:49:37.24
THIS HAS BEEN A
POWERFUL PART OF OUR MINISTRY.
00:49:37.24\00:49:40.61
ONE OF THE BIGGEST STORIES
FOR ME -- MY FATHER PASSED AWAY.
00:49:40.61\00:49:45.28
AND WHEN I GO TO HOMES,
WHAT I FIND ESPECIALLY AROUND
00:49:45.28\00:49:49.55
THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS,
PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOST LOVED ONES,
00:49:49.55\00:49:52.42
THEY MIGHT BE VERY, VERY
DISCOURAGED, BUT BEING ABLE TO
00:49:52.42\00:49:56.49
GO TO THEM, AND THERE IS A BOOK
CALLED LOVE STRONGER THAN DEATH,
00:49:56.49\00:50:00.10
AND BEING ABLE TO HOLD THIS
UP, AND BE LOOK, LOOK, MY FATHER
00:50:00.10\00:50:04.50
PASSED AWAY, BUT THERE IS A
FATHER THAT WILL NEVER LEAVE,
00:50:04.50\00:50:08.00
YOU KNOW? AND I
REMEMBER AT THIS ONE
00:50:08.00\00:50:10.27
COMMUNITY, WE WERE PASSING
OUT, YOU KNOW, JUST DIFFERENT
00:50:10.27\00:50:14.24
MAGAZINES, AND CHRISTIAN
LITERATURE, AND ONE OF THE
00:50:14.24\00:50:16.98
PEOPLE I GAVE THE BOOK TO, I
LEFT -- I PRAYED WITH THEM, AND
00:50:16.98\00:50:20.95
LEFT. I THINK
THEY GAVE A DONATION,
00:50:20.95\00:50:22.62
BECAUSE WE USE THIS SO WE CAN
GO OVERSEAS ON OUR INTERNATIONAL
00:50:22.62\00:50:26.76
MISSIONS, SO AS I LEAVE, YOU
KNOW, LATER ON THIS WOMAN COMES
00:50:26.76\00:50:30.13
UP TO ME AND SHE
IS LIKE, I NEED MORE.
00:50:30.13\00:50:33.66
MY WHOLE FAMILY -- MY MOTHER HAD
PASSED AWAY, AND I WANT MORE.
00:50:33.66\00:50:37.67
I WANT TO SHARE
IT WITH ME FAMILY.
00:50:37.67\00:50:40.17
THIS HAS BEEN A
REALLY HARD TIME.
00:50:40.17\00:50:42.64
SO THERE ARE DIFFERENT
SITUATIONS WHERE PEOPLE HAVE
00:50:42.64\00:50:44.47
BEEN ON THE BRINK OF GIVING UP
THEMSELVES, AND GOD JUST REALLY
00:50:44.47\00:50:50.55
OPENS DOOR AFTER DOOR, AND
THE AMAZING THING IS, THERE HAS
00:50:50.55\00:50:54.35
NEVER BEEN PINT WHERE THERE WAS
A MISSION WE SR. SUPPOSED TO GO
00:50:54.35\00:50:58.22
ON AND GOD DID NOT
PROVIDE A WAY FOR IT.
00:50:58.22\00:51:00.99
GOD USES PEOPLE. AND SO
SOMETIMES THERE'S -- LIKE
00:51:00.99\00:51:04.93
YOU HAVE SITUATIONS WHERE
MAYBE -- MAYBE FOR SOME REASON A
00:51:04.93\00:51:09.16
PERSON CANNOT PHYSICALLY GO ON
A MISSION, BUT YOUR PRAYERS AND
00:51:09.16\00:51:13.00
YOUR SUPPORT GOES SO MUCH
FURTHER, AND 3ABN, I -- I HAVE
00:51:13.00\00:51:18.14
TO SAY -- LIKE SO MUCH THANKS.
3ABN MAY NOT REALIZE WHAT A
00:51:18.14\00:51:24.41
DIFFERENCE THEY HAVE MADE
FOR -- NOT JUST NAPS BUT SO MANY
00:51:24.41\00:51:30.05
MINISTRIES, YOUNG MINISTRIES
THAT GOD IS TRYING -- YOU KNOW,
00:51:30.05\00:51:33.32
TRYING TO USE, AND HE PUT 3ABN
HERE TO BE A BEACON OF LIGHT,
00:51:33.32\00:51:38.86
AND THERE'S BEEN SO MANY
THINGS -- I LOOK AT JADE.
00:51:38.86\00:51:42.36
AND JADE IS SO BEAUTIFUL TO ME.
SHE IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW, LIKE,
00:51:42.36\00:51:46.60
GOD IS USING YOUNG
PEOPLE -- THIS GIRL CAN GIVE A
00:51:46.60\00:51:50.27
FULL BIBLE STUDY. SHE
CAN TELL YOU, LIKE -- LIKE
00:51:50.27\00:51:54.08
DON'T WORRY -- YOU KNOW, EVEN IF
SOMEONE TO DIE, SHE KNOWS WHAT
00:51:54.08\00:51:59.41
HAPPENS, AND KNOWS THE
SCRIPTURES OF HOW TO SHARE TRUTH
00:51:59.41\00:52:03.52
ABOUT GOD'S LOVE AND
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE.
00:52:03.52\00:52:06.45
AND HEAVEN'S SECOND COMING, AND
SHE IS A YOUNG WITNESS, AND GOD
00:52:06.45\00:52:11.09
WANTS TO USE EACH
AND EVER ONE HERE.
00:52:11.09\00:52:13.40
>> AMEN. AMEN.
00:52:13.40\00:52:15.10
I'M JUST SO IMPRESSED HOW YOU

IT HAS BEEN AN EVOLUTION.

SAY IS IF YOU -- IF YOU ARE
LOOKING FOR PURPOSE, IF -- MAYBE
00:55:28.76\00:55:32.79
RIGHT NOW YOU MIGHT BE SITTING
DOWN, THINKING THAT YOU FEEL
00:55:32.79\00:55:36.67
EMPTY AND THAT THERE ARE SO MANY
THINGS THAT YOU HAVE TRIED TO
00:55:36.67\00:55:41.10
FILL IN YOUR LIFE TO FULFILL
THAT ONE THING THAT YOU ARE
00:55:41.10\00:55:44.97
LOOKING FOR.
WHETHER IT COULD BE DRUGS OR
00:55:44.97\00:55:47.18
FOOD OR PEOPLE OR THINGS,
TECHNOLOGY, WHATEVER IT MIGHT
00:55:47.18\00:55:51.25
BE, THE ONE THING I CAN SAY IS
WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOCUS OFF OF

LOOKING FOR THAT NEED, AND YOU
GO FORWARD IN THE LORD, HE WILL
00:55:57.29\00:56:00.86
FILL IT. HE WILL.
00:56:00.86\00:56:02.26

DONE IN MY LIFE AND IN ENGINEER

ONE THING I HAVE LEARNED IS THAT

SHOW YOU THAT, SO ONE THING
THAT YOU COULD DO IS TO GO ON
00:56:33.79\00:56:37.83
MISSIONS AND EXPERIENCE THAT
LOVE, BUT THEN SHARE THAT LOVE
00:56:37.83\00:56:40.30
