00:02:24.21\00:02:27.68

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
REACHING THE WORLD AROUND YOU.
00:03:01.21\00:03:03.88
THE THEME FOR THE GENERAL
CONFERENCE IS REACH OUR WORLD --
00:03:03.88\00:03:09.02
>> REACH THE
WORLD. >> REACH THE WORD.
00:03:09.02\00:03:11.92
>> THAT'S RIGHT. UH-HUH.
00:03:11.92\00:03:14.99
>> BUT IT'S ONE THING TO THINK
ABOUT BEING A MISSIONARY, AND
00:03:14.99\00:03:18.69
GOING OVERSEAS, AND SUPPORTING
ALL OF THESE MINISTRIES, BUT
00:03:18.69\00:03:22.66
IT'S QUITE SOMETHING ELSE TO
THINK ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE
00:03:22.66\00:03:25.40
NEXT DOOR TO YOU, OR DOWN
THE BLOCK, OR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE
00:03:25.40\00:03:30.07

>> AT THE GENERAL
CONFERENCE, AND 15 YEARS --

>> AS WOMEN'S
MINISTRIES DIRECTOR.
00:03:46.62\00:03:48.42
>> THAT IS AMAZING. YOU
MAY BE THINKING WHY DO WE
00:03:48.42\00:03:53.23
NEED WOMEN'S MINISTRIES.
SOMETIMES YO SAY WOMEN'S
00:03:53.23\00:03:55.66
MINISTRIES AND PEOPLE THINK THEY
ARE HAVING A LITTLE TEA PARTY
00:03:55.66\00:03:59.50
WHERE THEY WEAR HATS, BUT I
GUARANTEE YOU, TONIGHT YOU WILL
00:03:59.50\00:04:04.31
FIND OUT WHAT IS THE
GOAL OF WOMEN'S MINISTRIES.
00:04:04.31\00:04:06.98
WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT.
WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT.
00:04:06.98\00:04:10.05
AND HOW THEY ARE TRAINING
UP LEADERS AROUND THE WORLD TO
00:04:10.05\00:04:14.45
REACH PEOPLE IN THEIR
OWN COMMUNITY FOR CHRIST.
00:04:14.45\00:04:18.42
IT'S AMAZING. NOW
I'M GOING TO READ A
00:04:18.42\00:04:22.56
SCRIPTURE, THEN WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE SOME MUSIC.
00:04:22.56\00:04:25.13
I KNOW THAT SOMEBODY TOLD
ME WHAT IT WAS GOING TO BE.
00:04:25.13\00:04:28.16
THERE WE GO. THE
SCRIPTURE IS ISAIAH 61:1-3.
00:04:28.16\00:04:34.64
YOU CHOSE THIS
SCRIPTURE FOR US TONIGHT.
00:04:34.64\00:04:36.67
AND HERE IS WHAT THE LORD SAYS.
THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON
00:04:36.67\00:04:42.18
ME BECAUSE THE LORD HAS ANOINTED
ME TO PREACH GOOD TIDINGS TO THE
00:04:42.18\00:04:46.61
POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO HEAL THE
00:04:46.61\00:04:49.78
BROKEN HEARTED, THE ONE RIGHT
DOWN THE STREET FROM YOU, TO
00:04:49.78\00:04:53.66
PROCLAIM LIBERTY TO THE CAPTIVES
IN THE OPENING OF THE PRISON TO
00:04:53.66\00:04:59.03
THOSE WHO ARE BOUND, TO PROCLAIM
THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD,
00:04:59.03\00:05:03.43
AND THE DAY AVENGEANCE OF OUR
GOD TO COMFORT ALL WHO MOURN, TO
00:05:03.43\00:05:12.77
CONSULT THEM AND GIVE THEM
BEAUTY FOR ASHES, OIL OF JOY FOR
00:05:12.77\00:05:18.98
MOURNING, THE GARMENT OF PRAISE
FOR THE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS,
00:05:18.98\00:05:22.02
THAT THEY MAY BE CALLED TREES OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS, THE PLANTING OF
00:05:22.02\00:05:26.79
THE LORD THAT HE
MAY BE GLORIFIED.
00:05:26.79\00:05:30.23
AMEN? >> AMEN.
00:05:30.23\00:05:31.29

IF YOU ARE JOINING US JUST A
00:10:03.20\00:10:06.84
MOMENT LATE, OUR SPECIAL GUEST
IS HEATHER-DAWN SMALL WHO IS THE
00:10:06.84\00:10:12.47
DIRECTOR OF WOMEN'S MINISTRIES
FOR THE GENERAL CONFERENCE OF
00:10:12.47\00:10:17.38
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH.
HEATHER-DAWN BEFORE WE LAUNCH
00:10:17.38\00:10:21.48
INTO THE MINISTRY THAT YOU
ARE DOING, COULD YOU PLEASE JUST
00:10:21.48\00:10:25.65
SHARE A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT YOU -- I WOULD LIKE TO
00:10:25.65\00:10:29.29
HEAR -- YOUR GROWING UP YEARS,
AND HOW GOD MOVED YOU TO ACCPT
00:10:29.29\00:10:36.00
THIS CALL TO DO
WHAT YOU ARE DOING TODA?
00:10:36.00\00:10:38.67
>> SO HOW MUCH TIME
DO YOU HAVE? [ LAUGHTER ]
00:10:38.67\00:10:42.87
>> OKAY. >> LET ME
KEEP IT AS BRIEF AS I
00:10:42.87\00:10:44.94
CAN. I WAS BORN ON THE ISLAND OF
00:10:44.94\00:10:48.94
TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO. I
SPENT MY GROWING UP YEARS IN
00:10:48.94\00:10:55.88
LEADS, ENGLAND WHERE MY FAMILY
HAD MOVED WHEN MY FATHER WAS
00:10:55.88\00:11:01.79
STUDYING. >> JUST A SECOND.
00:11:01.79\00:11:03.16
WAS YOUR FAMILY CHRISTIAN?
>> MY FATHER AND MY MOTHER
00:11:03.16\00:11:06.86
WEREN'T AT THAT TIME. >> OKAY.
00:11:06.86\00:11:08.66
>> AND WHEN WE WENT -- MATTER OF
FACT BEFORE WE WENT TO ENGLAND,
00:11:08.66\00:11:14.44
MY GRANDPARENTS WHO
WERE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
00:11:14.44\00:11:19.11
CHRISTIANS, COULD TAKE
US THREE KIDS TO CHURCH.
00:11:19.11\00:11:21.84
I WAS A BABE IN ARMS THEN, AND
SHE MADE MY FATHER PROMISE THAT
00:11:21.84\00:11:27.82
WHEN HE WENT TO ENGLAND, HE
WOULD FIND A CHURCH AND TAKE US
00:11:27.82\00:11:32.22
EVERY SABBATH
LIKE THEY USED TO DO.
00:11:32.22\00:11:34.59
AND HE SAID YES, HE WOULD.
SO HE WAS STUDYING AT SCHOOL,
00:11:34.59\00:11:38.39
BUT ON SABBATH,
HE WASN'T AT SCHOOL.
00:11:38.39\00:11:42.06
SO HE FOUND A SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST CHURCH AND HE TOOK US.
00:11:42.06\00:11:44.63
AND HE WOULD SIT IN THE
BACK BENCH OF THE CHURCH WHILE
00:11:44.63\00:11:49.27
SABBATH SCHOOL WAS GOING
ON. AND IT WAS DURING THE
00:11:49.27\00:11:53.34
WINTERTIME, AND ENGLISH WINTERS
CAN BE PRETTY COLD, AND WHAT HE
00:11:53.34\00:11:56.98
WOULD DO WAS -- MOST TIMES IN
THE SUMMER, HE WOULD DROP US OFF
00:11:56.98\00:12:01.18
AND COME BACK. BUT IN
THE WINTER, HE WOULD SIT
00:12:01.18\00:12:04.85
IN THE LAST BENCH, BECAUSE IT
WAS TOO COLD TO GO HOME AND COME
00:12:04.85\00:12:08.89
BACK FOR US, AND THAT'S HOW HE
BEGAN TO LISTEN TO THE SERMONS.
00:12:08.89\00:12:14.86
AND HE GOT BAPTIZED FIRST,
AND THEN MY MOM GOT BAPTIZED.
00:12:14.86\00:12:21.67
SO MY GRANDMOTHER
KNEW WHAT SHE WAS DOING.
00:12:21.67\00:12:27.51
[ LAUGHTER ] >>
AND THEN WE RETURNED TO
00:12:27.51\00:12:29.61
TRINIDAD WHERE I WENT
TO HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE.
00:12:29.61\00:12:32.71
GOT MARRIED AFTER I FINISHED MY
FIRST TWO YEARS OF COLLEGE, AND
00:12:32.71\00:12:37.25
NEVER WANTED TO
WORK FOR THE CHURCH.
00:12:37.25\00:12:42.22
I'M BEING VERY
HONEST. I NEVER DID.
00:12:42.22\00:12:47.36
I -- I FELT WORKING FOR
THE CHURCH WAS A POOR MAN'S
00:12:47.36\00:12:48.60
EXISTENCE, AND I
DID NOT WANT TO BE POOR.
00:12:48.60\00:12:49.66
I CAME FROM A VERY WELL OFF
HOME, AND I WANTED TO CONTINUE
00:12:49.66\00:12:52.67
THAT, AND I KNEW THAT I COULD
DON'T THAT IF I WAS WORKING FOR
00:12:52.67\00:12:56.14
THE CHURCH, BUT GO HAD
HIS PLANS, AND HE HUMBLED US.
00:12:56.14\00:13:00.51
>> YES. >> MY
HUSBAND AND I CAME FROM
00:13:00.51\00:13:03.78
TWO DIFFERENT SIDES OF
THE TRACK, SO I CAME FROM THE
00:13:03.78\00:13:06.78
WELL-OFF SIDE, AND HE CAME
FROM THE NOT-SO-WELL-OFF SIDE.
00:13:06.78\00:13:11.22
AND I REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE
THINKING ABOUT MARRYING, THERE
00:13:11.22\00:13:15.16
WERE MANY PEOPLE WHO SAID NO,
DON'T, BECAUSE YOU TWO ARE NOT
00:13:15.16\00:13:19.19
FROM THE SAME -- WHAT THEY USED
TO CALL SOCIOCLASSES BACK THEN.
00:13:19.19\00:13:24.07
WE CALL IT ECONOMIC CLASS.
BUT WE HAD PRAYED ABOUT IT, AND
00:13:24.07\00:13:27.77
I WANT TO SAY THIS HERE NOW,
BECAUSE WE DID MORE THAN PRAY.
00:13:27.77\00:13:32.17
IN THE BOOK MESSAGES TO YOUNG
PEOPLE, WHICH IS A BOOK -- WHICH
00:13:32.17\00:13:37.45
WAS WRITTEN BY ELLEN WHITE,
THERE WAS A BUNCH OF QUESTIONS
00:13:37.45\00:13:43.89
TO ASK YOURSELF OF THE
PERSPECTIVE PERSON WHO YOU WERE
00:13:43.89\00:13:49.79
GOING TO MARRY, DID HE HAVE
THESE QUALITIES AND THE SAME FOR
00:13:49.79\00:13:56.46
THE MEN. AND WE
WENT THROUGH AND MADE
00:13:56.46\00:13:59.93
SURE WE COULD
ANSWER THOSE CORRECTLY.
00:13:59.93\00:14:02.84
>> YOU WERE VERY
COMMITTED CHRISTIANS.
00:14:02.84\00:14:05.54
>> AT THAT TIME, WE WERE.
I HAD A HUNG UP, WHERE I WAS
00:14:05.54\00:14:13.98
SAYING WHEN WE GET MARRIED,
I'M NEVER GOING TO HAVE FAMILY
00:14:13.98\00:14:20.69
WORSHIP. BECAUSE
IT HAD BEEN SUCH A
00:14:20.69\00:14:23.22
BORING THING FOR ME.
IT'S LIKE, OH, THEY ARE WAKING
00:14:23.22\00:14:26.49
ME EARLY, AND LAST THING IN THE
EVENING, AND I JUST FELT LIKE
00:14:26.49\00:14:30.93
THAT I WAS FORCED TO DO THIS.
SO WHEN WE GOT MARRIED, THE
00:14:30.93\00:14:35.24
FIRST MORNING WHEN HE CALLED ME
FOR WORSHIP, I SAID I TOLD YOU I
00:14:35.24\00:14:41.44
DON'T DO THIS. AND HE
WAS SWEET, HE SAT THERE
00:14:41.44\00:14:44.68
AND DID HIS WORSHIP, AND I
HAD MINE IN THE ROOM, AND IT WAS
00:14:44.68\00:14:51.69
AFTER WE HAD KIDS WHEN I
REALIZED HOW IMPORTANT THAT WAS.
00:14:51.69\00:14:56.49
>> I HOPE YOU MADE
IT EXCITING FOR THEM?
00:14:56.49\00:14:59.06
>> OH, WE DID. WHEN I
WAS GROWING UP, IT WAS
00:14:59.06\00:15:04.20
ADULT SABBATH SCHOOL LESSONS,
AND THE ADULT LEADING, SO IT
00:15:04.20\00:15:08.00
MEANT NOTHING TO ME, BUT WE
FOUGHT THROUGH ALL OF THAT, AND
00:15:08.00\00:15:15.48
THEN WE HAD OUR BIG EXPERIENCE
WHEN OUR SON DIED AT THE AGE OF
00:15:15.48\00:15:20.55
FOUR. >> THAT
WAS A REALLY TRAGIC
00:15:20.55\00:15:22.85
DEATH. >> YES, IT WAS.
00:15:22.85\00:15:24.55
AND THAT REALLY WAS
WHAT TURNED US AROUND.
00:15:24.55\00:15:28.06
WE HAD GONE FROM BEING COMMITTED
CHRISTIANS TO BEING VERY
00:15:28.06\00:15:32.69
NOMINAL. >> WAS
YOUR HUSBAND A PASTOR?
00:15:32.69\00:15:34.46
>> AT THAT TIME, NO.
HE HAD STARTED STUDYING
00:15:34.46\00:15:38.87
THEOLOGY. WHEN WE
WERE MARRIED THAT'S WHAT
00:15:38.87\00:15:41.07
HE WAS GOING TO BE A PASTOR.
AND THEN HE MOVED OFF FROM THAT,
00:15:41.07\00:15:44.64
AND HE SAID I THINK I'M
GOING TO CHANGE TO SOCIAL WORK.
00:15:44.64\00:15:47.94
SO AFTER TWO YEARS OF THEOLOGY,
HE DECIDED TO CHANGE TO SOCIAL
00:15:47.94\00:15:57.39
WORK. AND I WAS
SO UPSET WITH HIM.
00:15:57.39\00:15:58.99
WE HADN'T PRAYED ABOUT IT,
HE JUST CAME HOME AND SAID I
00:15:58.99\00:16:04.43
SWITCHED. AND GOD
NEW WHY, BECAUSE OUR
00:16:04.43\00:16:07.30
SPIRITUAL LIFE
NEEDED DEEPER ROOTS.
00:16:07.30\00:16:08.83
AND WE GOT THAT WHEN OUR
SON DIED, THAT EXPERIENCE.
00:16:08.83\00:16:12.60
AND THEN HE WENT INTO THE
MINISTRY HAS AN OLDER PERSON.
00:16:12.60\00:16:16.37
WHEN I SAY OLDER, HE WAS LATE
30S, EARLY 40S, AND -- YEAH.
00:16:16.37\00:16:23.45
>> IT DOESN'T LOOK
SO OLD NOW, DOES IT?
00:16:23.45\00:16:27.95
[ LAUGHTER ] >> OKAY.
00:16:27.95\00:16:29.12
LET'S NOT GO THERE
SHELLEY. I JUST HAD A BIRTHDAY.
00:16:29.12\00:16:32.15
WE DON'T NEED TO GO
THERE. >> OH, MERCY.
00:16:32.15\00:16:35.72
>> AND THEN I GOT CALLED TO WORK
WITH THE CHURCH IN TRINIDAD AT
00:16:35.72\00:16:39.83
THE UNION OFFICE,
FOR THE CARIBBEAN UNION.
00:16:39.83\00:16:48.24
FROM OUR UNIVERSITY I GOT CALLED
TO THE UNION, AND FROM THE
00:16:48.24\00:16:51.41
UNION, I GOT CALLED TO THE GC,
BY THEN MY ENTIRE MIND SET HAS
00:16:51.41\00:16:58.51
CHANGED. >> AND NOW
YOU ARE IN YOUR THIRD
00:16:58.51\00:17:01.25
TERM AS THE DIRECTOR OF
WOMEN'S -MINISTRIES. >> YES.
00:17:01.25\00:17:04.92
>> THAT IS A POITION
THAT IS AN ELECTED POSITION.
00:17:04.92\00:17:08.32
>> YES, IT IS. >> SO THAT TELLS
ME ONE THING -pHEATHER-DAWN, IT
00:17:08.32\00:17:18.17
TELLS ME THAT GOD WANTS YOU
THERE, BUT IT TELLS ME YOU ARE
00:17:18.17\00:17:21.84
PRODUCING A LOT OF FRUIT IN
WOMEN'S MINISTRIES. >> WELL, I
WILL BACK YOU UP IN
00:17:21.84\00:17:25.67
THAT GOD IS
PRODUCING A LOT OF FRUIT.
00:17:25.67\00:17:29.41
>> THERE WE GO. >>
AND I KNOW THAT'S WHAT YOU
00:17:29.41\00:17:32.21
MEANT TO SAY, BECAUSE WE
ARE SISTERS, SO WE THINK ALIKE.
00:17:32.21\00:17:35.85
>> YES. >> BUT THE
AMAZING THING ABOUT
00:17:35.85\00:17:38.49
THIS IS THAT I'M NOT THE KIND OF
PERSON THAT I THOUGHT GOD SHOULD
00:17:38.49\00:17:42.69
CHOOSE FOR THIS POSITION,
BECAUSE OF MY OWN CHALLENGES
00:17:42.69\00:17:45.69
THAT I FACE, MY OWN HEALTH
CHALLENGES, AND SO BEING HERE IS
00:17:45.69\00:17:50.43
A MIRACLE IN ITSELF, AS WELL AS
JUST SEEING HOW GOD HAS WORKED.
00:17:50.43\00:17:56.50
YOU KNOW, YOU THINK OF LEADERS
AS BEING STRONG, HEALTHY PEOPLE,
00:17:56.50\00:18:00.84
AND -- NO, I'M SORRY, THAT'S
NOT THE CATEGORY I FALL INTO.
00:18:00.84\00:18:05.48
AND DURING THE TIME I HAVE BEEN
HERE, I HAVE BEEN THROUGH SOME
00:18:05.48\00:18:08.62
SERIOUS HEALTH CHALLENGES, AND
YET, GOD HAS SAID NO, THIS IS
00:18:08.62\00:18:13.42
WHERE I NEED YOU
TO BE, SO -- >> AMEN.
00:18:13.42\00:18:16.12
>> YEAH. >> AMEN.
00:18:16.12\00:18:17.43
LET'S TALK ABOUT OUR TITLE FOR
THE PROGRAM TONIGHT, REACHING MY
00:18:17.43\00:18:22.36
WORLD, IS NOT
SOMETHING WE CAME UP WITH.
00:18:22.36\00:18:24.40
THIS IS ACTUALLY
-- THIS IS OUR THEME.
00:18:24.40\00:18:27.24
>> YOUR THEME FOR
THIS YEAR. >> YEAH.
00:18:27.24\00:18:29.34
>> TELL US - THERE ARE PEOPLE
OUT THERE THAT YOU MENTION
00:18:29.34\00:18:34.24
WOMEN'S MINISTRIES AND THEY ARE
THINKING YOU ARE GOING TO WEAR A
00:18:34.24\00:18:38.41
BIG HAT AND DRINK TEA TOGETHER.
WHAT IS WOMEN'S MINISTRIES?
00:18:38.41\00:18:42.98
>> WOMEN'S
MINISTRIES IS ABOUT SERVICE.
00:18:42.98\00:18:45.55
THAT'S WHY THE WORD MINISTRIES.
BECAUSE THE WORD MINISTER MEANS
00:18:45.55\00:18:48.99
TO SERVE, AND THAT'S WHAT WE
ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT, WOMEN
00:18:48.99\00:18:52.96
SERVING EACH
OTHER, AND SERVING OTHERS.
00:18:52.96\00:18:55.26
SERVING OUR FAMILIES,
SERVING OUR CHURCH, AND SO --
00:18:55.26\00:19:00.44
>> SERVING THE
COMMUNITY. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:19:00.44\00:19:02.97
SO THIS DEPARTMENT IS A
VERY IMPORTANT ONE, ESPECIALLY
00:19:02.97\00:19:07.24
BECAUSE WHEN YOU THINK WHEN IT
FIRST STARTED BACK IN 1898 WHEN
00:19:07.24\00:19:13.52
THE CHURCH WAS STILL VERY
YOUNG -- MEANING THE SEVENTH-DAY
00:19:13.52\00:19:16.22
ADVENTIST CHURCH WAS STILL VERY
YOUNG, AND IT WAS STARTED -- IT
00:19:16.22\00:19:19.55
ONLY LASTED TWO YEARS, BECAUSE
THE LADY WHO BEGAN IT WAS A
00:19:19.55\00:19:25.59
SOMEWHAT WORK AHOLIC PERSON.
SHE BECAME VERY ILL AFTER TWO
00:19:25.59\00:19:34.77
YEARS, TRAVELING 9,000 MILES
AROUND THE UNITED STATES AND
00:19:34.77\00:19:37.37
CANADA, MUCH OF IT IN
CARRIAGES AND SO FORTH.
00:19:37.37\00:19:42.04
BUT SHE TOOK ILL AND DIED, AND
THE WHOLE DEPARTMENT JUST WENT
00:19:42.04\00:19:46.11
QUIET UNTIL 1990 WHEN IT
CAME BACK, AND THEN IN 1995, WE
00:19:46.11\00:19:53.15
BECAME A DEPARTMENT, AND I
SINCERELY BELIEVE WITH ALL OF MY
00:19:53.15\00:19:57.06
HEART THAT THIS IS GOD'S DOING,
BECAUSE THERE IS A WORK FOR THE
00:19:57.06\00:20:00.60
WOMEN TO DO IN
THIS END TIME. >> OKAY.
00:20:00.60\00:20:03.60
SO THE GOAL -- TELL US --
WHAT ARE THE PROBLEMS AND THE
00:20:03.60\00:20:12.07
CHALLENGES. YOU
TRAVEL OVER A HUNDRED
00:20:12.07\00:20:14.41
THOUSAND MILES A YEAR, I
MEAN, THIS WOMAN IS TIRELESS.
00:20:14.41\00:20:20.62
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE GOALS AND
CHALLENGES THAT WOMEN ARE FACING
00:20:20.62\00:20:25.59
AROUND THE WORLD? >>
WELL, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE HAVE
00:20:25.59\00:20:30.06
DISCOVERED IS THAT WOMEN FACE
THE SAME -- THE SAME CHALLENGES
00:20:30.06\00:20:35.16
NO MATTER WHAT
COUNTRY THEY ARE IN.
00:20:35.16\00:20:37.73
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
IT COULD BE A NORTHERN
00:20:37.73\00:20:43.30
HEMISPHERE, SOUTHERN, IT DOESN'T
MATTER, RICH COUNTRY, POOR
00:20:43.30\00:20:48.04
COUNTRY, WE ALL
FACE THE SAME CHALLENGES.
00:20:48.04\00:20:52.21
AND I'M TALKING
ABOUT WOMEN'S HEALTH.
00:20:52.21\00:20:54.78
WOMEN'S WORK LOADS. WOMEN
ARE THE MOST WORKED GENDER
00:20:54.78\00:20:59.62
ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT EDUCATION,
00:20:59.62\00:21:06.03
LACK OF OPPORTUNITY
FOR EDUCATION IS A PROBLEM
00:21:06.03\00:21:08.80
EVERYWHERE. YOU
THINK OF THE POOR COUNTRIES
00:21:08.80\00:21:11.00
WHERE THERE MAY NOT BE ANY
SCHOOLS, YOU THINK OF THE RICH
00:21:11.00\00:21:14.60
COUNTRIES IT'S FAR TOO
EXPENSIVE FOR SO MANY PEOPLE.
00:21:14.60\00:21:19.24
THEN WE LOOK AT AREAS LIKE
ABUSE, ILLITERACY, AND POVERTY.
00:21:19.24\00:21:25.68
>> SO LET'S -- I KNOW THAT
WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE
00:21:25.68\00:21:30.29
LUNCH TODAY, AND SOMETHING THAT
YOU MENTIONED WAS REALLY QUITE
00:21:30.29\00:21:36.52
SHOCKING TO ME, THAT NO MATTER
WHAT COUNTRY YOU GO TO, ONE OUT
00:21:36.52\00:21:41.96
OF EVERY THREE
WOMEN ARE -- IS ABUSED.
00:21:41.96\00:21:45.50
ONE OUT OF EVERY THREE, AND
IT CROSSES ALL SOCIOECONOMIC --
00:21:45.50\00:21:50.47
>> ALL RELIGIONS, ALL CULTURES,
ONE IN THREE WOMEN EITHER HAS
00:21:50.47\00:21:56.58
BEEN, IS, OR WILL
BE. >> THAT'S AMAZING.
00:21:56.58\00:22:00.15
>> IT IS AMAZING. >> SO
WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT
00:22:00.15\00:22:03.85
ABUSE, WHAT SPECIFICALLY
ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
00:22:03.85\00:22:07.12
>> WELL, AS WE KNOW WHEN IT
COMES TO ABUSE, IT'S NOT ONLY
00:22:07.12\00:22:12.66
PHYSICAL, IT CAN ALSO BE
EMOTIONAL, MENTAL ABUSE, SO
00:22:12.66\00:22:16.70
IT -- IT HAPPENS IN DIFFERENT
WAYS, AND THEN WE'RE ALSO
00:22:16.70\00:22:22.14
TALKING ABOUT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SEXUAL
00:22:22.14\00:22:26.71
ABUSE. ABUSE OF THE ELDERLY.
00:22:26.71\00:22:29.28
ABUSE OF POWER.
RAPE AND ON AND ON.
00:22:29.28\00:22:32.45
AND SO THERE
ARE SO MANY ASPECTS.
00:22:32.45\00:22:35.15
IN SOME COUNTRIES IT'S A
CULTURAL THING FEMALE GENITAL
00:22:35.15\00:22:43.66
MUTILATION, DAUGHTER NEGLECT,
EARLY CHILDHOOD MARRIAGES, SO IT
00:22:43.66\00:22:48.26
TAKES IN QUITE A LOT OF THINGS.
>> YEAH, SEE THT'S WHY IT'S
00:22:48.26\00:22:52.07
HARD FOR ME, WHEN YOU SAY THAT
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU GO
00:22:52.07\00:22:56.60
THAT WOMEN ARE
SUFFERING THE SAME THING.
00:22:56.60\00:22:58.54
IT SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE DEGREES
IN SUFFERING IN SOME PLACES THAT
00:22:58.54\00:23:05.08
ARE MUCH GREATER THAN WHAT I'M
FAMILIAR WITH IN THE STATES, BUT
00:23:05.08\00:23:10.59
YET, I REALIZE -- YOU
KNOW, SOMETIMES AS A CHRISTIAN,
00:23:10.59\00:23:14.72
ESPECIALLY, I THINK, WORKING AT
3ABN, THE PEOPLE I WORKWITH, I
00:23:14.72\00:23:18.66
GO TO CHURCH WITH.
THEY ARE LOVELY WONDERFUL
00:23:18.66\00:23:22.46
CHRISTIANS. WE HAVE
A VERY STRONG FAMILY
00:23:22.46\00:23:26.63
ATMOSPHERE HERE, AND SOMETIMES
I'LL TELL MY HUSBAND, WE LIVE IN
00:23:26.63\00:23:32.17
A BUBBLE. BECAUSE
WE'LL HEAR THINGS.
00:23:32.17\00:23:35.44
I REMEMBER EVEN IN A SMALL TOWN
WHERE WE LIVED PRIOR TO LIVING
00:23:35.44\00:23:40.98
HERE. I WAS
WORKING WITH SOME OF THE
00:23:40.98\00:23:44.92
PASTORS IN THE ALLIANCE OF
PASTORS, WHATEVER IT WAS CALLED,
00:23:44.92\00:23:50.23
AND I LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A
LOT OF INCEST, A LOT OF RAPE, A
00:23:50.23\00:23:58.70
LOT OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE GOING
ON IN THIS SWEET LITTLE COUNTRY
00:23:58.70\00:24:03.87
TOWN, AND -- AND, YOU KNOW,
I REMEMBER JUST -- IT WAS JAW
00:24:03.87\00:24:06.68
DROPPING TO ME. >> YEAH.
00:24:06.68\00:24:09.24
>> SO IT DOES HAPPEN, AND
WE HAVE GOT TO WAKE UP, BECAUSE
00:24:09.24\00:24:13.65
THIS IS WHERE WE NEED
TO BE ABLE TO REACH OUT.
00:24:13.65\00:24:17.65
TELL US THE STORY OF WHEN
YOU WERE GIVING A BIBLE STUDY.
00:24:17.65\00:24:21.82
>> OH, YES, I
MENTIONED THAT TO YOU TODAY.
00:24:21.82\00:24:24.76
I WAS A YOUNG PASTOR'S WIFE.
WE WERE NEW IN THE MINISTRY, AND
00:24:24.76\00:24:29.33
MY HUSBAND ASKED ME TO GIVE
BIBLE STUDIES TO LADY WHO WAS
00:24:29.33\00:24:33.57
INTERESTED IN GIVING HER LIFE TO
THE LORD, AND BEING BAPTIZED, SO
00:24:33.57\00:24:39.07
I WAS VISITING HER EVERY WEEK.
I WOULD SPEND AN HOUR OR SO WITH
00:24:39.07\00:24:44.65
HER. AND MAYBE
ABOUT SIX OR SEVEN
00:24:44.65\00:24:46.78
WEEKS AFTER WE STARTED, I WENT
TO HER HOME AND KNOCKED ON THE
00:24:46.78\00:24:51.55
DOOR, AND WHEN SHE OPENED THE
DOOR, I COULD TELL SOMETHING WAS
00:24:51.55\00:24:55.96
WRONG. HER EYES
WERE RED AND SWOLLEN,
00:24:55.96\00:25:00.36
OBVIOUSLY SHE HAD BEEN CRYING.
AND I SAID DO YOU STILL WANT TO
00:25:00.36\00:25:03.37
DO OUR BIBLE STUDY TODAY?
AND SHE SAID YES, I'M FINE.
00:25:03.37\00:25:09.17
AND WE WENT INTO THE LIVING
ROOM AREA, AND WE SAT DOWN AND I
00:25:09.17\00:25:14.68
STARTED OUR BIBLE STUDY WITH
PRAYER, WE WOULD CHAT A LITTLE
00:25:14.68\00:25:18.65
BIT, AND THEN WE WENT INTO IT.
ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH, WHEN I
00:25:18.65\00:25:22.52
WAS TALKING ABOUT THE LOVE
OF GOD, SHE SLAMMED HER BIBLE
00:25:22.52\00:25:25.85
CLOSED AND PUT IT DOWN.
AND I SAID IS SOMETHING WRONG?
00:25:25.85\00:25:30.69
AND SHE SAID, YES, I
DON'T BELIEVE A GOD LOVES ME.
00:25:30.69\00:25:34.66
AND I SAID WHY? SHE
SAID THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY
00:25:34.66\00:25:37.63
SENSE TO ME, BECAUSE IF GOD
LOVED ME -- AND SHE PULLED HER
00:25:37.63\00:25:41.67
DRESS OFF OF HER SHOULDER, AND
I SAW THE MARKS ON HER BACK, AND
00:25:41.67\00:25:46.17
SHE SAID IF GOD LOVED ME
WHERE WAS HE LAST NIGHT WHEN MY
00:25:46.17\00:25:51.01
HUSBAND WAS BEATING ME?
AND I HAVE TO BE HONEST WITH
00:25:51.01\00:25:54.42
YOU, I FELL BACK INTO THE NORMAL
SOME WOULD SAY SMUG ANSWER, BUT
00:25:54.42\00:26:03.93
IT WAS THE ONLY ANSWER I KNEW AT
THAT TIME, WHICH WAS, CAN I PRAY
00:26:03.93\00:26:08.73
FOR YOU? AND SHE
SAID NO, THANK YOU.
00:26:08.73\00:26:14.97
AND I SAID DO
YOU WANT TO CONTINUE?
00:26:14.97\00:26:15.97
AND SHE SAID NO, I
THINK IT'S TIME YOU LEFT.
00:26:15.97\00:26:17.84
AND SHE NEVER CALLED US BACK.
AND IT TOOK ME SOME YEARS TO
00:26:17.84\00:26:22.18
REALIZE I MISSED THE MARK WHEN
IT CAME TO REACHING OUT TO HER,
00:26:22.18\00:26:25.91
BECAUSE YES, WE NEED TO PRAY
FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN PAIN AND
00:26:25.91\00:26:30.32
HURTING, BUT EVEN MORE
THAN THAT, WE NEED TO HELP.
00:26:30.32\00:26:33.12
AND I WISH I WOULD HAVE
SAID TO HER, CAN I HELP YOU?
00:26:33.12\00:26:36.62
DO YOU WANT TO GO TO THE DOCTOR?
DO YOU WANT TO GO TO A FAMILY
00:26:36.62\00:26:42.60
MEMBER? WHAT
CAN I HELP YOU WITH?
00:26:42.60\00:26:45.83
AND I DIDN'T DO THAT. I
JUST SAID CAN I PRAY FOR YOU,
00:26:45.83\00:26:50.51
WHICH WASN'T WHAT
SHE NEEDED AT THAT TIME.
00:26:50.51\00:27:01.95
>> AMEN. SOMETIMES
IT'S JUST LIKE YOU ARE
00:27:01.95\00:27:03.02
TRYING TO COMFORT SOMEONE WHO IS
GRIEVING, AND WE TRY TO COME UP
00:27:03.02\00:27:04.49
WITH SOMETHING TO SAY, AND WE'RE
NOT BEING VULNERABLE AND REAL
00:27:04.49\00:27:06.25
WITH THEM. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:27:06.25\00:27:08.32
AND I HAVE BEEN THERE, YEAH.
>> I JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE,
00:27:08.32\00:27:12.03
BECAUSE I KNOW THAT
WE GET MANY A CALL HERE.
00:27:12.03\00:27:15.43
I KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING
FROM ABUSE IN THEIR HOME,
00:27:15.43\00:27:19.17
MENTAL, PHYSICAL, AND EMOTIONAL
ABUSE, AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE US
00:27:19.17\00:27:23.81
TO PRAY FOR YOU
TONIGHT, WE WILL.
00:27:23.81\00:27:26.74
AND NOW I'M SAYING JUST WHAT YOU
SAID, BUT WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE
00:27:26.74\00:27:31.21
YOU, THAT IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE
WHO IS BEING ABUSED, PERHAPS A
00:27:31.21\00:27:36.65
FAMILY MEMBER, OR FRIEND OR
SOMEONE IN YOUR COMMUNITY, WE
00:27:36.65\00:27:39.95
WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE
ACTION, TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE,
00:27:39.95\00:27:44.83
AND ASK WHAT CAN I DO
TO HELP? >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:27:44.83\00:27:48.80
>> BUT YOU CAN CALL US WITH YOUR
PRAYER REQUESTS, OR WITH YOUR
00:27:48.80\00:27:55.07
QUESTIONS AT 618-627-4651,
OR EMAIL THEM TO LIVE@3ABN.TV.
00:27:55.07\00:28:02.98
AND WE'LL PUT YOU IN THE
HOT SEAT IN THE SECOND HOUR.
00:28:02.98\00:28:07.08
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >>
WHAT -- AS -- AS WERE
00:28:07.08\00:28:09.65
TALKING ABOUT THIS, AND
WE'LL GO THROUGH SOME OF THESE
00:28:09.65\00:28:13.46
CATEGORIES, POVERTY, WOMEN'S
HEALTH, WHEN YOU ARE TRAINING IN
00:28:13.46\00:28:20.70
WOMEN'S MINISTRIES, ARE YOU
TRAINING PEOPLE HOW TO HELP?
00:28:20.70\00:28:24.07
>> YES, WE ARE. NOW IN
OUR WOMEN'S MINISTRIES,
00:28:24.07\00:28:27.74
AND YOU HAD ASKED ME
EARLIER, WHAT OUR GOALS ARE.
00:28:27.74\00:28:31.67
NUTURE AND POWER, SO
THAT WE CAN REACH OUT.
00:28:31.67\00:28:36.61
WE NUTURE OUR WOMEN, BECAUSE I
DON'T WANT US TO THINK THAT IT'S
00:28:36.61\00:28:40.12
ONLY THE WOMEN OUTSIDE OF THE
CHURCH WHO HAVE HURTS AND PAINS.
00:28:40.12\00:28:44.52
THE WOMEN IN THE CHURCH HAVE
THEM, AND WE'RE JUST BETTER AT
00:28:44.52\00:28:48.22
COVERING IT UP. >> YES.
00:28:48.22\00:28:49.92
>> AND SO WE WANT TO
NUTURE OUR SISTERS SPIRITUALLY,
00:28:49.92\00:28:55.50
EMOTIONALLY, PHYSICALLY, SO A
LOT OF WHAT WE DO, A LOT OF OUR
00:28:55.50\00:28:59.57
TRAINING HAS TO DO
WITH HOW TO STUDY MY BIBLE?
00:28:59.57\00:29:03.97
HOW AM I GOING TO
DIG DEEPER IN GOD'S WORD.
00:29:03.97\00:29:07.91
PHYSICAL EXERCISE. WHAT
IS THE IMPORTANCE OF A GOOD
00:29:07.91\00:29:10.98
DIET. WE ALSO
LOOK AT THINGS LIKE
00:29:10.98\00:29:13.31
MIXING WITH OTHER PEOPLE
AND AS I SAID MENTAL HEALTH.
00:29:13.31\00:29:16.65
WE HAVE A WHOLE SERIES OF
TRAINING ON THAT PARTICULAR
00:29:16.65\00:29:19.95
AREA, AND THEN WE
WANT TO EMPOWER THEM.
00:29:19.95\00:29:22.52
AND WE EMPOWER THEM
THROUGH INFORMATION, KNOWLEDGE,
00:29:22.52\00:29:25.39
TRAINING. WE HAVE A LEADERSHIP
00:29:25.39\00:29:27.93
CERTIFICATION COURSE, AND IT
HAS MULTIPLE SEMINARS IN IT THAT
00:29:27.93\00:29:33.87
WOMEN LEARN HOW TO DO THINGS
THAT THEY NEVER THOUGHT THEY
00:29:33.87\00:29:37.97
COULD DO BEFORE. YOU
KNOW, WHEN WE LOOK AT THE
00:29:37.97\00:29:40.18
CHURCH, AND BECAUSE I LOOK
AT IT WITH A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE,
00:29:40.18\00:29:43.38
I'M -- I'M SEEING MANY WOMEN WHO
HAVE NEVER FINISHED HIGH SCHOOL,
00:29:43.38\00:29:47.25
NEVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO
TO COLLEGE, BUT THEY WANT TO GET
00:29:47.25\00:29:53.89
A BETTER JOB OR THEY WANT
TO IMPROVE THEMSELVES, SO EVEN
00:29:53.89\00:29:57.89
SEMINARS AS SIMPLE AS HOW TO
DRESS PROFESSIONALLY, YOU KNOW?
00:29:57.89\00:30:01.66
SO WHEN I'M IN THE OFFICE
OR WHEN I GO FOR AN INTERVIEW.
00:30:01.66\00:30:06.77
LEADERSHIP SEMINARS,
COMMUNICATIONS SKILLS SEMINAR,
00:30:06.77\00:30:11.11
SO THAT IN A WORK ENVIRONMENT,
IN MY FAMILY, YOU KNOW, I COULD
00:30:11.11\00:30:17.58
EMPLOY THESE. SO IT'S
A COMPLETE TRAINING, AND
00:30:17.58\00:30:20.28
THAT EMPOWERS OUR WOMEN.
AND IT'S A GRADUATION TIME AT
00:30:20.28\00:30:25.55
THE END. THEY
GET A SCERTIFICATE.
00:30:25.55\00:30:30.09
AND I HAVE HAD WOMEN WHO TOLD
ME, I TOOK MY CERIFICATE TO MY
00:30:30.09\00:30:33.76
JOB, AND I GOT A
RAISE, I GOT A PROMOTION.
00:30:33.76\00:30:37.90
WHEN THEY SAW THE KIND OF
TRAINING I HAD DONE, ALL OF THE
00:30:37.90\00:30:41.34
TOPIC AREAS THAT HAD BEEN LOOKED
AT, AND SO IT REALLY EMPOWERS
00:30:41.34\00:30:46.17
US, AND WE HAVE BEEN COUNSELED
THAT WE NEED TO IMPROVE OUR
00:30:46.17\00:30:50.78
MINDS. >> AMEN.
00:30:50.78\00:30:53.28
>> AND I DON'T THINK AT THE
CHURCH WE SHOULD BE BEHIND WHAT
00:30:53.28\00:30:58.69
EVERYBODY ELSE IS DOING.
THE WORD IS SAYING MAKE YOURSELF
00:30:58.69\00:31:04.16
BETTER. IMPROVE YOURSELF.
00:31:04.16\00:31:06.26
WELL, THAT'S
WHAT GOD WANTS IN US.
00:31:06.26\00:31:08.63
>> AMEN. BUT
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
00:31:08.63\00:31:10.83
INTERESTS ME THAT YOU MENTIONED
THE -- TEACHING PEOPLE HOW TO
00:31:10.83\00:31:16.04
STUDY THE WORD, BECAUSE I THINK
SOMETIMES YOU MEET PEOPLE WHO
00:31:16.04\00:31:20.18
HAVE BEEN AT THE CHURCH
FOR A LONG TIME, AND THEY ARE
00:31:20.18\00:31:23.38
SAYING -- THEY REALLY -- THEY
KIND OF HAVE A BELIEF, BUT IT
00:31:23.38\00:31:28.85
MAY BE WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN
TAUGHT, AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING
00:31:28.85\00:31:31.72
THAT THEY CAN GO TO THE
BIBLE AND SAY HERE IT IS.
00:31:31.72\00:31:34.32
SO WHAT KIND OF
STUDIES DO YOU DO FOR THAT?
00:31:34.32\00:31:37.39
>> WELL, ONE OF THE FIRST
STUDIES WE DO IS A COURSE CALLED
00:31:37.39\00:31:45.00
INTRODUCTION TO THE BIBLE,
BECAUSE WE WANT OUR SISTERS TO
00:31:45.00\00:31:48.14
UNDERSTAND AND TO KNOW WHAT THE
BIBLE IS, AND NOT JUST THE BOOKS
00:31:48.14\00:31:52.47
IN THE BIBLE, BUT TO LEARN A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHO WROTE IT.
00:31:52.47\00:31:57.41
WE'VE GOT SUBJECTS LIKE LIFE IN
BIBLE TIMES, SO THAT WOMEN CAN
00:31:57.41\00:32:04.02
UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS THE CULTURE
AND THE LIFE FOR A WOMAN IN
00:32:04.02\00:32:08.12
BIBLE TIMES? HOW --
HOW DOES WHAT THE BIBLE
00:32:08.12\00:32:13.23
SAYS IN CERTAIN AREAS -- WHAT
DOES IT MEAN, AND HOW CAN IT
00:32:13.23\00:32:18.90
APPLY TO OUR LIVES NOW?
SO WE DO SPEND TIME GOING
00:32:18.90\00:32:23.67
THROUGH THOSE BIBLE TOPICS, BUT
WE ALSO HAVE SEMINARS THAT DEAL
00:32:23.67\00:32:27.31
WITH MY
RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. >> AMEN.
00:32:27.31\00:32:30.28
>> HOW TO KNOW
GOD BETTER. >> AMEN.
00:32:30.28\00:32:33.31
>> MY DEVOTIONAL TIME,
WHAT SHOULD THAT LOOK LIKE.
00:32:33.31\00:32:40.06
BIBLE JOURNALLING. WE
LOOK AT ALL OF THOSE AREAS,
00:32:40.06\00:32:44.66
BECAUSE WE WANT OUR
WOMAN TO BE WOMAN OF THE WORD.
00:32:44.66\00:32:47.93
THEY MUST BE IN IT. I'LL
NEVER FORGET ONE TIME I WAS
00:32:47.93\00:32:51.67
PREACHING A SERMON, AND I CALLED
OUT A TEXT, AND I THINK IT WAS
00:32:51.67\00:32:59.44
[ INAUDIBLE ] CHAPTER 2 VERSUS
SOMETHING -- AND A WOMAN SAID
00:32:59.44\00:33:03.21
WHO? AND I COULD
TELL THAT SHE DIDN'T
00:33:03.21\00:33:05.08
EVEN KNOW THERE WAS A
BOOK IN THE BIBLE BY THAT NAME.
00:33:05.08\00:33:09.75
AND SO WE WANT OUR
WOMEN TO KNOW GOD'S WORD.
00:33:09.75\00:33:19.39
THEY MUST BE ABLE
TO RIGHTLY DIVINE IT.
00:33:19.39\00:33:20.46
IT'S NOT JUST
SOMETHING FOR OUR MEN.
00:33:20.46\00:33:21.43
LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.
I WENT TO A PARTICULAR ISLAND
00:33:21.43\00:33:25.07
LAST YEAR IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC,
A LITTLE ISLAND, WHERE I MET
00:33:25.07\00:33:29.77
WITH MY SISTERS ON THE ISLAND,
NONE OF THE WOMEN HAD A BIBLE.
00:33:29.77\00:33:40.28
NO, I'M SORRY, ONE WOMAN HAD
A BIBLE, AND SO I WAS KIND OF
00:33:40.28\00:33:41.68
CONCERNED, BECAUSE THESE
WERE WOMEN IN THE CHURCH.
00:33:41.68\00:33:42.92
AND I SAID HOW COME
YOU DON'T HAVE BIBLES?
00:33:42.92\00:33:45.32
AND THEY SAID WELL, IN THIS
CULTURE ONLY THE HUSBAND HAS THE
00:33:45.32\00:33:49.46
BIBLE. THERE'S ONE
BIBLE, AND IT'S HIS.
00:33:49.46\00:33:51.93
NO ONE CAN TOUCH IT.
NOT THE MOTHER, NOT THE
00:33:51.93\00:33:56.13
CHILDREN. IT'S HIS.
00:33:56.13\00:33:59.63
AND I SAID, I DON'T THINK SO.
AND SO THERE WAS A BIBLE SOCIETY
00:33:59.63\00:34:01.14
ON THE ISLAND, AND I SAID
WE NEED BIBLES FOR ALL OF THESE
00:34:01.14\00:34:05.01
WOMEN, AND WE PAID FOR EVERY
WOMAN, AND I CANNOT TELL YOU THE
00:34:05.01\00:34:08.94
LOOK ON THESE WOMEN'S FACES WHEN
WE GAVE THEM THEIR OWN BIBLES
00:34:08.94\00:34:12.78
FOR THE FIRST
TIME IN THEIR LIVES.
00:34:12.78\00:34:14.62
THEY WERE HOLDING THEIR OWN
BIBLES, AND THEN THEY SAT ON THE
00:34:14.62\00:34:18.89
GROUND IN GROUPS DOING THEIR
FIRST BIBLE STUDY FROM THEIR
00:34:18.89\00:34:23.09
BIBLES. THEY COULD
READ, BUT THEY HAD NO
00:34:23.09\00:34:25.76
BIBLES OF THEIR OWN.
AND SO GOD HAD JUST OPENED A
00:34:25.76\00:34:30.87
WHOLE NEW WORLD FOR THEM TO BE
ABLE TO SEE -- AND ONE LADY SAID
00:34:30.87\00:34:34.34
TO ME, I'M NOT GOING TO LET
MY HUSBAND TOUCH MY BIBLE, AND I
00:34:34.34\00:34:39.41
SAID OKAY NOW, WE'RE NOT GOING
TO DO THAT, BECAUSE NOT ONLY
00:34:39.41\00:34:42.78
DOES HE HAVE TO TOUCH IT,
BUT YOUR KIDS NEED TO READ GOD'S
00:34:42.78\00:34:47.32
WORD ALSO. SO THERE
IS A SENSE OF, YEAH, WE
00:34:47.32\00:34:51.32
NEED TO KNOW THE WORD OF
GOD. >> TO ME -- AND YOU KNOW MY
00:34:51.32\00:34:55.96
STORY -- BUT WHEN GOD TAUGHT
ME IN ISAIAH 55, HE SAYS MY WAYS
00:34:55.96\00:35:03.26
ARE NOT YOUR WAYS. MY
THOUGHTS ARE HIGHER THAN YOUR
00:35:03.26\00:35:07.30
WAYS. AND THEN HE
-- HE GOES ON TO SAY
00:35:07.30\00:35:11.94
THAT -- ISAIAH 55:11, THAT HIS
WORD WILL NOT RETURN TO A VOID,
00:35:11.94\00:35:17.48
BUT IT ACCOMPLISHES EVERY
PURPOSE FOR WHICH HE SENT IT.
00:35:17.48\00:35:23.15
AND JEREMIAH SAYS THA HE
WATCHES OVER HIS WORD TO PERFORM
00:35:23.15\00:35:28.09
IT. AND, YOU
KNOW, IT WAS WHEN GOD
00:35:28.09\00:35:30.13
TAUGHT ME TO TAKE THE
PROMISES IN HIS WORD AND IN THE
00:35:30.13\00:35:40.07
COMMANDMENTS ARE PROMISES,
AND TO APPLY THEM PERSONALLY.
00:35:40.07\00:35:44.74
THIS IS WHEN I
OVERCAME THE IDENTITY CRISIS.
00:35:44.74\00:35:48.54
>> YES. >> -- THAT I WAS HAVING.
00:35:48.54\00:35:51.18
AND WHEN I SAY IDENTITY
CRISIS. I WAS CORPORATE LEADER.
00:35:51.18\00:35:55.62
I WAS -- I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT
AN EMOTIONAL OR PSYCHO BABEL,
00:35:55.62\00:36:01.06
I'M SAYING, I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND
WHO I WAS AS A CHILD --
00:36:01.06\00:36:04.79
>> RIGHT, AND
WHO YOU BELONGED TO.
00:36:04.79\00:36:06.90
>> AND WHO I BELONGED TO.
AND I HAD BEEN IN CHURCH FOR
00:36:06.90\00:36:10.67
YEARS AND YEARS, BUT IT WAS AS I
LEARNED GOD'S WORD AND TOOK THAT
00:36:10.67\00:36:16.24
PERSONALLY, THAT
WAS LIFE-CHANGING.
00:36:16.24\00:36:18.81
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >> SO
THE WOMEN THEN -- YOU ARE
00:36:18.81\00:36:23.21
TEACHING THEM FOR LEADERSHIP,
BUT LET'S BACK UP JUST A MOMENT.
00:36:23.21\00:36:26.38
WE HAVE GOT THE ABUSE PROBLEM.
DO YOU HAVE A VERY PRACTICAL
00:36:26.38\00:36:31.49
APPROACH TO HOW TO
HELP PEOPLE WHO ARE ABUSED?
00:36:31.49\00:36:36.89
>> WE DO HAVE A NUMBER
OF THINGS, WHICH WE DO.
00:36:36.89\00:36:40.33
>> OKAY. >> FOR
EXAMPLE, THERE WAS
00:36:40.33\00:36:42.43
A -- THERE WAS A DAY EVERY
YEAR -- IT'S THE FOURTH SABBATH
00:36:42.43\00:36:47.34
OF EVERY -- EVERY -- FOURTH
SABBATHS OF AUGUST EVERY YEAR
00:36:47.34\00:36:51.51
THAT IS KNOWN AS END IT NOW
DAY, WHICH IS THE NAME OF OUR
00:36:51.51\00:36:56.01
CAMPAIGN. END IT
NOW, ADVENTISTS SAY NO TO
00:36:56.01\00:37:01.38
VIOLENCE. THAT DAY
WHEN IT FIRST BEGAN WAS
00:37:01.38\00:37:04.82
ABUSE PREVENTION EMPHASIS
DAY, THAT WAS BACK IN 2002.
00:37:04.82\00:37:09.82
WE PRODUCED PACKETS -- AND WHEN
I SAY A PACKET, IT'S A WHOLE
00:37:09.82\00:37:14.46
RESOURCE KITS OF SERMONS,
SEMINARS, HANDOUTS, CHILDRENS
00:37:14.46\00:37:20.10
STORIES, THAT ALL
FOCUS ON ONE TOPIC EACH YEAR.
00:37:20.10\00:37:25.17
FOURTH SABBATH OF AUGUST THIS
YEAR, OUR FOCUS WAS ON BULLYING,
00:37:25.17\00:37:29.38
AND SO EVERYTHING FROM THE
SERMON TO THE SEMINARS, WHICH WE
00:37:29.38\00:37:34.08
PRODUCE, TO THE POWER POINTS,
THE HANDOUTS, EVERYTHING IN THAT
00:37:34.08\00:37:40.99
PACKET FOCUSED ON THAT. AND
WE GET DIFFERENT SPECIALISTS
00:37:40.99\00:37:45.09
EVERY YEAR TO WRITE. SO
WE HAVE FOCUSED ON THINGS
00:37:45.09\00:37:48.66
LIKE RAPE, AND DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE, AND CHILD SEXUAL
00:37:48.66\00:37:53.80
ABUSE. AND ABUSE OF THE ELDERLY.
00:37:53.80\00:37:56.14
THERE ARE MANY ELDERLY ALL
AROUND THE WORLD WHO ARE ABUSED
00:37:56.14\00:38:00.34
BY THEIR CHILDREN, AS WELL AS BY
OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS, SO WE HAVE
00:38:00.34\00:38:05.28
BEEN PUTTING THE SPOTLIGHT ON
THESE VAIOUS AREAS EVERY YEAR.
00:38:05.28\00:38:09.38
>> HOW -- HOW DO PEOPLE --
IF YOU HAVE GOT ALL OF THESE
00:38:09.38\00:38:12.79
RESOURCES -- AND I'M SORRY, I
DIDN'T REALIZE THESE THINGS WERE
00:38:12.79\00:38:18.06
EVEN AVAILABLE. HOW
DO THEY GET AN IDEA -- OR
00:38:18.06\00:38:20.96
HOW DO THEY GET
IN TOUCH WITH YOU?
00:38:20.96\00:38:22.83
DO THEY JUST GO TO YOUR WEBSITE
AND LOOK AT WOMEN'S MINISTRIES
00:38:22.83\00:38:26.84
AND YOU HAVE A LIST OF
ALL OF THESE RESOURCES --
00:38:26.84\00:38:29.80
>> WE HAVE A SPECIFIC
WEBSITE CALLED ENDITNOW.ORG.
00:38:29.80\00:38:39.71
THAT HAS ALL OF THE
MATERIALS WE HAVE CREATED.
00:38:39.71\00:38:42.18
WHAT IS
HAPPENING AROUND THE WORLD.
00:38:42.18\00:38:44.65
THE END IT NOW, WHIC IS
OUR ABUSE PREVENTION CAMPAIGN.
00:38:44.65\00:38:48.76
EVERYTHING IS ON THAT WEBSITE.
IF YOU GO TO OUR WOMEN'S
00:38:48.76\00:38:51.99
MINISTRIES WEBSITE, IT
WILL LINK YOU TO THAT WEBSITE.
00:38:51.99\00:38:55.06
WE ALSO HAVE ALL OF
THOSE RESOURCES THERE AS WELL.
00:38:55.06\00:38:57.67
SO WE HAVE A SERIES OF
BROCHURES WHICH WE HAVE CREATED.
00:38:57.67\00:39:02.67
I THINK WE HAVE SEVEN NOW.
WE DID A BROCHURE FOR THE PASTOR
00:39:02.67\00:39:07.81
SO HE WILL HAVE AN IDEA OF
HOW DO I TALK TO THESE WOMEN?
00:39:07.81\00:39:12.58
I THINK TWO YEARS AGO WE DID
ONE ON ONE OF THE AREAS OF ABUSE
00:39:12.58\00:39:17.85
THAT IS RISING VERY QUICKLY,
WHICH I DATING VIOLENCE.
00:39:17.85\00:39:22.79
AND WE'RE FINDING IT A LOT
ON OUR COLLEGE CAMPUSES, HIGH
00:39:22.79\00:39:26.70
SCHOOL CAMPUSES. THIS
THING CALLED DATE RAPE,
00:39:26.70\00:39:30.57
DATE VIOLENCE. IT'S
REALLY ON THE RISE, AND
00:39:30.57\00:39:34.70
IT'S A GREAT CONCERN TO OURS.
SO IF YOU GO TO THE WEBSITE YOU
00:39:34.70\00:39:38.77
CAN DOWNLOAD IT AND
PRINT IT OFF YOURSELF.
00:39:38.77\00:39:41.38
EVERYTHING WE DO IS FREE.
>> YOU KNOW, I'M JUST BEING
00:39:41.38\00:39:45.41
IMPRESSED RIGHT NOW IN THAT AS
PREVALENT HAS THIS PROBLEM IS,
00:39:45.41\00:39:49.72
AS PREVALENT AS ABUSE IS, YOUR
CHURCH, IF YOU WANT TO -- IT
00:39:49.72\00:39:55.99
DOESN'T JUST HAVE TO BE FOR
WOMEN'S MINISTRIES, YOUR CHURCH
00:39:55.99\00:39:59.89
CAN GET ONLINE AT ENDITNOW.ORG,
AND GET SOME OF THESE MATERIALS
00:39:59.89\00:40:12.51
AND DO A COMMUNITY
OUTREACH. >> RIGHT.
00:40:12.51\00:40:13.54
>> ADVERTISE THAT
THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
00:40:13.54\00:40:14.71
THIS IS REALLY AN AMAZING
RESOURCE TO THINK THAT THE
00:40:14.71\00:40:16.68
SERMONS AND BROCHURES,
EVERYTHING IS ALREADY DONE, AND
00:40:16.68\00:40:19.45
THERE ARE CHURCHES, I KNOW
-- BECAUSE WE HEAR ABOUT IT
00:40:19.45\00:40:22.95
ALL THE TIME. WHAT
SHOULD WE BE DOING TO REACH
00:40:22.95\00:40:26.86
THE COMMUNITY? >> TO
REACH OUT, AND ESPECIALLY
00:40:26.86\00:40:29.89
IN COUNTRIES IN THE
NORTHERN HEMISPHERE.
00:40:29.89\00:40:35.76
FOR EXAMPLE, EUROPE.
YOU THINK OF COUNTRIES LIKE
00:40:35.76\00:40:42.74
GERMANY AND CZECH, RELIGION IS
NOT ON THEIR LIST AS IT IS YEAR.
00:40:42.74\00:40:47.78
IT HAS A HUGE INFLUENCE IN THE
UNITED STATES, IN EUROPE NOT SO
00:40:47.78\00:40:51.98
MUCH. END IT NOW HAS BEEN OUR
00:40:51.98\00:40:53.95
CONNECTION POINT, BECAUSE
OUR WOMEN WILL TAKE IT INTO THE
00:40:53.95\00:40:58.92
STREETS. THEY WILL
PUT A BOOTH UP IN THE
00:40:58.92\00:41:01.76
TOWN SQUARE AND THEY WILL
HAVE LITTLE CARDS, WHICH WE HAVE
00:41:01.76\00:41:06.03
MADE, WHICH YOU CAN GET FROM THE
WEBSITE THAT YOU GIVE TO PEOPLE.
00:41:06.03\00:41:09.03
YOU GIVE THEM A SHEET THAT THEY
COULD SIGN UP TO AGREE THAT THEY
00:41:09.03\00:41:13.70
ARE AGAINST VIOLENCE, AND
THE LITTLE CARD THEY KEEP IN
00:41:13.70\00:41:19.04
THEIR -- THEIR WALLET OR THEIR
PURSE THAT SAYS THAT I PLEDGE
00:41:19.04\00:41:23.65
THAT I'M AGAINST THIS. SO
IT -- IT IS A WAY FOR US TO
00:41:23.65\00:41:27.75
CONNECT, BECAUSE IT'S NOT A
CHRISTIAN THING ONLY, YOU KNOW?
00:41:27.75\00:41:31.69
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THOSE WHO ARE
BEING ABUSED AND THOSE WHO ARE
00:41:31.69\00:41:38.49
AGAINST IT, AND THAT'S WHY THE
CHURCH NEEDS TO SPEAK UP MORE
00:41:38.49\00:41:44.33
AND WE AS CHRISTIANS NEED TO
HAVE A LOUDER VOICE WITH THIS.
00:41:44.33\00:41:48.84
>> THAT'S RIGHT. YOU
ARE GIVING ME SOME PROGRAM
00:41:48.84\00:41:53.61
IDEAS. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:41:53.61\00:41:54.31
>> IF YOU ARE -- WELL, WE HAVE
GOT 15 MINUTES IN THIS HOUR.
00:41:54.31\00:41:58.51
LET'S TALK SPECIFICALLY ABOUT
SOME WOMEN'S HEALTH ISSUES.
00:41:58.51\00:42:03.02
>> YES. >> AND CAN
WE BRING IT CLOSER TO
00:42:03.02\00:42:06.42
HOME? I KNOW THA
THERE'S A LOT OF THE
00:42:06.42\00:42:08.82
PROLAPSE ISSUES IN SOME F O
THESE OTHER COUNTRIES THAT ARE
00:42:08.82\00:42:13.70
HORRIFYING, BUT TO ME, THE
NUMBER 1 WOMEN'S HEALTH ISSUE
00:42:13.70\00:42:19.07
THAT I RUN INTO IS WOMEN WHO
ARE SUFFERING FROM DEPRESSION.
00:42:19.07\00:42:23.41
YOU CAN SPEAK
PERSONALLY TO THAT.
00:42:23.41\00:42:25.87
>> YES. >> LET'S
TALK ABOUT YOUR STORY
00:42:25.87\00:42:29.71
FOR JUST A MINUTE, AND THEN TALK
ABOUT HOW GOD CHANGED YOR LIFE.
00:42:29.71\00:42:37.02
>> WELL, LET ME BEGIN
FIRST BY SAYING THAT OUR -- OUR
00:42:37.02\00:42:41.49
ISSUE -- THAT WE LOOK AT IS
BOTH WOMEN'S PHYSICAL AND MENTAL
00:42:41.49\00:42:48.73
HEALTH. WHEN MY
ASSOCIATE AND I WERE
00:42:48.73\00:42:52.97
VOTED AS ASSOCIATE AND DIRECTOR,
BOTH OF US HAVE A HISTORY OF
00:42:52.97\00:42:57.84
DEPRESSION, AND WE BOTH FELT
THIS WAS SOMETHING WE NEEDED TO
00:42:57.84\00:43:01.54
TALK ABOUT, AND WITHIN RECENT
YEARS -- I WOULD SAY ABOUT FOUR
00:43:01.54\00:43:06.01
OR FIVE YEARS AGO, WE PUT
TOGETHER A SERIES OF SEMINARS
00:43:06.01\00:43:10.72
DEALING ON MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.
AND IN THAT DEPRESSION IS TWO
00:43:10.72\00:43:16.19
SEMINARS, ANGER, UNFORGIVENESS,
ANXIETY, BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE
00:43:16.19\00:43:22.10
ONES WE FIND MOST
PREVALENT AS WE TRAVEL GLOBALLY.
00:43:22.10\00:43:25.30
NOW I HAVE TO ADMIT, IT WASN'T
MY IDEA TO GET UP IN FRONT OF A
-GROUP OF LADIES AND TALK ABOUT
00:43:25.30\00:43:31.87
MY DEPRESSION. I KNOW
HOW -- PEOPLE SAY, OH,
00:43:31.87\00:43:35.31
YOU CAN DO THIS AND YOU CAN DO
THAT, AND THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO
00:43:35.31\00:43:38.65
HAVE SITUATIONAL DEPRESSION.
IT'S NOT LONG TERM, THAT CAN BE
00:43:38.65\00:43:44.25
HELPED WITH DIET AND EXERCISE
AND SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS,
00:43:44.25\00:43:48.12
BUT MY SITUATION WAS ONE OF
CLINICAL DEPRESSION, WHERE THOSE
00:43:48.12\00:43:55.63
CHEMICALS IN MY BRAIN JUST
WEREN'T FUNCTIONING LIKE THEY
00:43:55.63\00:43:58.30
SHOULD. SO I
NEEDED TO TAKE A LITTLE
00:43:58.30\00:44:00.84
TABLET, AND I HAVE BEEN DOING
THAT SINCE 1998 UNTIL PRESENT
00:44:00.84\00:44:06.04
TIME. >> THANK
YOU FOR SAYING THAT.
00:44:06.04\00:44:07.84
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
00:44:07.84\00:44:09.81
THANK YOU. >> YEAH.
00:44:09.81\00:44:11.71
>> BECAUSE I RUN INTO PEOPLE ALL
THE TIME WHO SAY I ONLY BELIEVE
00:44:11.71\00:44:15.68
IN NATURAL REMEDIES, I DON'T
NEED TO TAKE A PILL, AND THEY
00:44:15.68\00:44:20.26
ARE CHRONICALLY, CLINICALLY
DEPRESSED AND THEIR LIFE IS JUST
00:44:20.26\00:44:25.69
GOING OUT THE WINDOW, AND I --
I BELIEVE WITH ALL OF MY HEART
00:44:25.69\00:44:30.67
THAT WHEN BRAIN CHEMISTRY IS
MESSED UP, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG
00:44:30.67\00:44:35.90
WITH TAKING A
PILL TO CORRECT THAT --
00:44:35.90\00:44:40.38
>> WELL, IF YOU COULD TAKE A
PILL FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND
00:44:40.38\00:44:44.81
DIABETES,
DEPRESSION IS AN ILLNESS.
00:44:44.81\00:44:46.98
IT'S NOT A -- IT'S NOT SOMETHING
THAT PEOPLE ARE -- ARE THINKING,
00:44:46.98\00:44:52.35
WELL, YOU KNOW, THIS IS
JUST A PHASE, WHICH YOU'RE GOING
00:44:52.35\00:44:56.83
THROUGH, AND IT WILL PASS.
NO, IT STAYS WITH YOU, AND I
00:44:56.83\00:45:00.13
KNOW, BECAUSE I
COULDN'T GET OUT OF IT.
00:45:00.13\00:45:02.13
AND IT -- IT WAS TO THE POINT TO
ME WHERE I WAS SUICIDAL, AND AS
00:45:02.13\00:45:10.41
MUCH AS I LOVE MY HUSBAND AND MY
CHILDREN, THE ONLY THOUGHT ON MY
00:45:10.41\00:45:14.24
MIND WAS, I WANT TO GO TO SLEEP
AND STOP ALL OF THIS SADNESS
00:45:14.24\00:45:20.52
THAT HAD ENGULFED MY LIFE.
THERE'S A PAIN INVLVED, AND I
00:45:20.52\00:45:25.29
JUST WANTED IT TO END, AND THE
ONLY WAY I COULD THINK TO END
00:45:25.29\00:45:29.69
IT, WAS TO COMMIT SUICIDE.
AND YOU KNOW FROM EVERYTHING
00:45:29.69\00:45:33.26
THAT WE READ IN THE
NEWS THAT EVEN THOSE WHO ARE
00:45:33.26\00:45:37.63
NON-CHRISTIANS HAVE A HARD TIME
TALKING ABOUT THIS, AND WHEN IT
00:45:37.63\00:45:40.54
HAPPENS TO SOMEONE WHO IS NEWS
WORTHY, EVERYBODY IS IN SHOCK.
00:45:40.54\00:45:44.21
WELL, THINK
ABOUT US IN THE CHURCH.
00:45:44.21\00:45:46.64
SO IT'S AS YOU SAID,
WOMEN ARE SAYING, BUT IF I MAKE
00:45:46.64\00:45:50.45
MEDICATION, IT IS GOING
TO DENY THE POWER OF GOD.
00:45:50.45\00:45:53.62
WELL, I'M SORRY,
I DON'T ACCEPT THAT.
00:45:53.62\00:45:58.79
BECAUSE IT IS BECAUSE OF GOD'S
POWER WORKING IN US THAT WE CAN
00:45:58.79\00:46:03.39
BE DOCTOR'S AND LAWYERS AND
TEACHERS, AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
00:46:03.39\00:46:07.03
SCIENCE IS NOT A
FIELD MADE UP BY THE DEVIL.
00:46:07.03\00:46:11.30
I REFUSE TO GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR
ALL OF THE GOOD STUFF THAT HAS
00:46:11.30\00:46:15.14
COME OUT OF THAT. SO I
ENCOURAGE MY SISTERS, AND I
00:46:15.14\00:46:19.54
CANNOT TELL YOU THE WOMEN WHO
COME TO ME AND SAY, I'M SO GLAD
00:46:19.54\00:46:23.08
THAT SOMEBODY ELSE IS GOING
THROUGH WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH.
00:46:23.08\00:46:26.58
AND I'M TALKING ABOUT FROM
AFRICA TO INDIA, TO RUSSIA, TO
00:46:26.58\00:46:31.05
AMERICA, TO THE CARIBBEAN -- IT
DOESN'T MATTER WHERE, BUT MANY
00:46:31.05\00:46:34.66
ARE SUFFERING SILENTLY.
LAST YEAR, I MET A DEAR SISTER
00:46:34.66\00:46:38.89
IN AFRICA, AND SHE SAID TO ME,
I COULD NEVER EVEN GO TO SEE A
00:46:38.89\00:46:44.63
DOCTOR ABOUT THIS, IF MY FAMILY
NEW, IF MY CHURCH FAMILY KNEW, I
00:46:44.63\00:46:50.11
COULDN'T GO BACK THERE ANYMORE,
BECAUSE I WOULD BE DENYING GOD'S
00:46:50.11\00:46:54.78
POWER. >> I
INTERVIEWED A DOCTOR WHO
00:46:54.78\00:46:57.51
HAS WRITTEN A WONDERFUL BOOK
CALLED DEPRESSION, THE WAY OUT,
00:46:57.51\00:47:01.72
AND WE ARE TALKING -- I HAVE
SOMETHING HERE FROM COLIN AND I
00:47:01.72\00:47:07.49
WON'T CALL YOUR LAST
NAME. LET ME INTERJECT THIS.
00:47:07.49\00:47:10.56
HE SAYS MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN
GET ABUSED BY OTHERS, MALE AND
00:47:10.56\00:47:17.53
FEMALE. WOMEN ARE
NOT ALONE IN GETTING
00:47:17.53\00:47:19.87
ABUSED. WE RECOGNIZE THAT.
00:47:19.87\00:47:21.94
AND WE ARE SPEAKING SPECIFICALLY
OF WOMEN'S MINISTRIES, AND ARE
00:47:21.94\00:47:26.21
REACHING OUT. SO WE
DIDN'T MEAN TO SOUND LIKE
00:47:26.21\00:47:29.04
WOMEN ARE THE
ONLY ONES BEING ABUSED.
00:47:29.04\00:47:32.08
HE SAID YOU ARE STARTING TO
SOUND LIKE THE WORLD, BELIEVING
00:47:32.08\00:47:35.02
THE LIES IN THE WORLD. IT
-- ABUSE IS -- IT GOES ACROSS
00:47:35.02\00:47:39.99
ALL GENDERS,
ALL SOCIOECONOMIC --
00:47:39.99\00:47:42.56
>> ALL AGES. >>
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO
00:47:42.56\00:47:46.76
DEPRESSION WOMEN AREN'T THE ONLY
ONES WHO SUFFER FROM DEPRESSION
00:47:46.76\00:47:50.60
EITHER. >> BUT
THEY ARE THE MAJORITY,
00:47:50.60\00:47:52.83
AND IT IS THE SAME WITH ABUSE.
THE MAJORITY, WHEN YOU LOOK AT
00:47:52.83\00:47:57.37
ALL GENDERS AND ALL AGES,
WOMEN ARE IN THE MAJORITY.
00:47:57.37\00:48:01.41
TO THE POINT THAT AT ONE TIME
THE UNITED NATION CALLED IT A
00:48:01.41\00:48:07.68
PANDEMIC FOR WOMEN, BECAUSE SO
MANY WOMEN WERE DIEING BECAUSE
00:48:07.68\00:48:10.32
OF ABUSE. WHEN WE
TALK ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH
00:48:10.32\00:48:15.22
AND DEPRESSION, THE
MAJORITY, AGAIN, ARE WOMEN.
00:48:15.22\00:48:19.16
AND THAT'S WHY I TALK ABOUT IT,
BECAUSE THEY ARE MY FOCUS, BUT
00:48:19.16\00:48:23.67
AS THIS GENTLEMAN SAID, IT
IS ACROSS THE BOARD, MALE AND
00:48:23.67\00:48:30.77
FE FEMALE.
00:48:30.77\00:48:31.74
>> THE DOCTOR I WAS
TALKING ABOUT, GETTING
00:48:31.74\00:48:51.79
ENOUGH SUNSHINE AND ALL OF
THESE THINGS AND SEE DRAMATIC
00:48:51.79\00:48:55.66
IMPROVEMENT, BUT I ASKED HIM
SPECIFICALLY ONE NIGHT, BECAUSE
00:48:55.66\00:48:59.50
HE HAS WRITTEN THE
MANUAL ON -- WHAT WOULD YOU CALL
00:48:59.50\00:49:05.34
IT -- HOLISTIC
HEALING TO DEPRESSION.
00:49:05.34\00:49:08.68
AND I SAID DO YOU EVER PRESCRIBE
YOUR PATIENTS ANTIDEPRESSANT,
00:49:08.68\00:49:14.85
AND HE SAID SURE. A LOT
OF PEOPLE HAVE TO AT LEAST
00:49:14.85\00:49:18.09
START WITH THAT, TO KICK OFF THE
SEROTONIN DEVELOPMENT IN THEIR
00:49:18.09\00:49:22.52
BRAINS, AND SOME PEOPLE CAN
BE WEANED OFF, OTHERS CAN'T.
00:49:22.52\00:49:28.36
>> THAT'S TRUE. >> SO
IN YOUR SITUATION YOU HAVE
00:49:28.36\00:49:31.83
FOUND IT NECESSARY TO CONTINUE,
BUT LOOK AT WHAT GOD HAS DONE
00:49:31.83\00:49:36.37
WITH YOU. >> AND
THAT'S WHY I SAY MY
00:49:36.37\00:49:39.27
JOURNEY IN THIS PARTICULAR
POSITION AS WOMEN'S MINISTRIES
00:49:39.27\00:49:43.28
DIRECTOR IS A GOD
THING. IT'S NOT ABOUT ME.
00:49:43.28\00:49:46.25
BECAUSE IF IT WAS ABOUT ME, I
WOULD SAY NO, LORD, THERE IS NO
00:49:46.25\00:49:50.99
WAY YOU CAN USE SOMEONE LIKE ME.
BUT HAVING THE PROBLEMS THAT I
00:49:50.99\00:49:54.89
HAVE, AND SHARING IT,
AND THAT'S THE OTHER THING.
00:49:54.89\00:50:02.13
HAVING THAT PUSH FROM THE HOLY
SPIRIT WHO SAYS YOU NEED TO TALK
00:50:02.13\00:50:05.43
ABOUT WHAT GOD IS DOING FOR YOU
IN THIS AREA AND IN THIS AREA,
00:50:05.43\00:50:09.64
AND WHEN YOU SHARE THAT, IT
MEANS THE WORLD TO THE WOMEN AND
00:50:09.64\00:50:13.68
THE MEN, WHO ARE LISTENING,
BECAUSE IT'S -- IT'S WONDERFUL
00:50:13.68\00:50:17.95
TO SHARE GOD'S WORD. WE
NEED TO DO THAT, BUT WHEN GOD
00:50:17.95\00:50:22.52
PUTS YOU ON A STAGE WHERE YOU
ARE NOT SHARING ONLY ONE TO ONE
00:50:22.52\00:50:26.32
OR IN A SMALL GROUP -- YOU
ARE SHARING WITH HUNDREDS AND
00:50:26.32\00:50:30.89
THOUSANDS. HE NEEDS
YOU TO BEGIN TALKING
00:50:30.89\00:50:32.79
ABOUT -- SO WHAT
AM I DOING FOR YOU?
00:50:32.79\00:50:35.73
HOW DOES THIS WORD
APPLY TO YOUR LIFE?
00:50:35.73\00:50:38.13
SO IT'S NOT JUST ANOTHER GOOD
THEOLOGICAL, BIBLICALLY-BASED
00:50:38.13\00:50:43.74
SERMON, IT HAS
GOT TO BE PRACTICAL --
00:50:43.74\00:50:48.01
>> TO THE
VULNERABLE. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:50:48.01\00:50:50.68
THAT'S RIGHT. >> IT
HAS TO BE TRANSPARENT.
00:50:50.68\00:50:53.45
>> YES. YES.
00:50:53.45\00:50:54.62
SO I ACCEPT THE FACT THAT
GOD MADE IT SOMEONE WHO HAS THE
00:50:54.62\00:50:58.22
CHALLENGES THAT I DO.
YOU KNOW, I WOULD PREFER IF I
00:50:58.22\00:51:02.26
WASN'T ON THE WORLD STAGE WITH
THESE THINGS, TALKING ABOUT IT
00:51:02.26\00:51:05.16
ON TELEVISION, BUT, YOU KNOW,
I ACCEPT THE FACT THAT IT IS
00:51:05.16\00:51:09.06
NEEDED AND -- AND THAT THERE
ARE WOMEN AND MEN WHO ARE BEING
00:51:09.06\00:51:16.10
HELPED. >> YES.
00:51:16.10\00:51:17.07
LET ME READ SOMETHING
THAT -- ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS A
00:51:17.07\00:51:20.91
LIVE PROGRAM, YOU CAN SEND YOUR
QUESTIONS OR PRAYER REQUESTS OR
00:51:20.91\00:51:26.58
CALL AT 618-627-4651, OR
EMAIL US AT LIVE@3ABN.TV.
00:51:26.58\00:51:31.49
THIS IS A SOBERING
REQUEST HERE -- OR QUESTION.
00:51:31.49\00:51:41.56
GLENA FROM MICHIGAN, HOW DOES
A PERSON OVERCOME BEING ABUSED
00:51:41.56\00:51:48.74
WHEN THEY WERE A CHILD, AND
BY A HUSBAND, AND BY SIBLINGS.
00:51:48.74\00:51:55.61
NOTHING HELPS. HAS
BEEN IN HOSPITALS AND MENTAL
00:51:55.61\00:52:02.52
INSTITUTIONS.
DOESN'T WANT TO LIVE ANYMORE,
00:52:02.52\00:52:05.35
AND DOESN'T KNOW
HOW TOEFR COME IT.
00:52:05.35\00:52:08.32
>> I HAVE MET WOMEN WHO
HAVE TOLD ME SIMILAR STORIES.
00:52:08.32\00:52:13.70
AND WHEN THEY SAY THEY
DON'T WANT TO LIVE ANYMORE.
00:52:13.70\00:52:17.90
THE FIRST THING I CUE INTO IS
THIS PERSON IS IN A DARK PLACE.
00:52:17.90\00:52:22.07
WE NEED TO GET THEM
OUT OF THAT DARK PLACE.
00:52:22.07\00:52:24.44
>> THEY ARE FEELING
HOPELESS. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:52:24.44\00:52:28.31
UNTIL YOU CAN GET THEM TO SEE
THE LIGHT AT THEN OF THE TUNNEL.
00:52:28.31\00:52:33.55
THIS PERSON SOUNDS VERY
DEPRESSED, VERY HOPELESS.
00:52:33.55\00:52:36.65
SHE HAS BEEN THROUGH ALL OF
THESE THINGS IN HER LIFE, AND IT
00:52:36.65\00:52:39.85
SEEMS LIKE NOTHING IS WORKING,
AND SO THE FIRST THING I WOULD
00:52:39.85\00:52:43.12
SUGGEST IS -- DON'T GO BACK
TO THE SAME DOCTOR, IF IT'S THE
00:52:43.12\00:52:46.86
SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
MAYBE SHE NEEDS TO FIND A NEW
00:52:46.86\00:52:50.83
DOCTOR, WHO WILL THEN TRY
A NEW MEDICATION ON HER WHERE
00:52:50.83\00:52:55.84
DEPRESSION IS CONCERNED.
I HAVE HAD PEOPLE SAY I HAVE
00:52:55.84\00:53:00.74
BEEN TO A DOCTOR AND
THEY TRIED THIS AND THIS.
00:53:00.74\00:53:03.58
AND I SAID BEEN THERE, ONE AFTER
ONE AFTER ONE, UNTIL WE GOT ONE
00:53:03.58\00:53:08.62
THAT WORKED. BUT I
HAD TO DO IT, BECAUSE MY
00:53:08.62\00:53:11.32
FAMILY NEEDED ME TO DO IT, AND
I FINALLY DID, AND THROUGH THE
00:53:11.32\00:53:15.22
YEARS WE HAVE CHANGED, AND
THROUGH THE YEARS WE HAVE DONE
00:53:15.22\00:53:20.63
THE DOSAGES, LET'S BRING IT DOWN
AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS, AND I END
00:53:20.63\00:53:25.03
UP FALLING OFF OF THE CLIFF, AND
WE HAVE TO PUT IT BACK UP AGAIN.
00:53:25.03\00:53:28.80
BUT I WOULD DEFINITELY SAY
TO HER, LET'S DEAL WITH THE
00:53:28.80\00:53:32.74
DARKNESS AND THE
HELPFULLESSNESS FIRST.
00:53:32.74\00:53:39.38
>> SOMETIMES ESPECIALLY
WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN ABUSED BY A
00:53:39.38\00:53:42.55
CHILD -- OR AS A CHILD
-- SOMETIMES YOU, THEN,
00:53:42.55\00:53:47.99
ALMOST ATTRACT THAT -- >> YES.
00:53:47.99\00:53:49.72
>> -- AS YOU
MARRY THE WRONG PERSON.
00:53:49.72\00:53:52.06
YOU GET ABUSED, BUT
THERE IS THAT SENSE OF -- MAYBE
00:53:52.06\00:53:58.93
WORTHLESSNESS, BUT THEN
THERE CAN ALSO BE UNFORGIVENESS.
00:53:58.93\00:54:02.97
>> YES. >> HOW
WOULD YOU TALK TO THAT?
00:54:02.97\00:54:05.27
>> I'M GOING TO GO
EVEN FURTHER THAN THAT.
00:54:05.27\00:54:11.85
THERE COULD ALSO BE DEMONIC
INTERFERENCE IN OUR LIFE BECAUSE
00:54:11.85\00:54:14.32
OF WHAT SHE HAS GONE
THROUGH AND EXPERIENCED.
00:54:14.32\00:54:16.75
SO I WOULD ALSO
RECOMMEND TO HER TO BE ANOINTED.
00:54:16.75\00:54:20.36
>> AMEN. AND I HAVE
TO SAY THIS, BECAUSE
00:54:20.36\00:54:24.13
WE DON'T WANT TO END WITH THAT
COMMENT, AND WE ONLY HAVE A FEW
00:54:24.13\00:54:30.33
MINUTES. IN THE
UNITED STATES WE TAKE
00:54:30.33\00:54:32.97
DEMONIC INFLUENCE
JUST KIND OF LIKE -- OKAY.
00:54:32.97\00:54:36.57
I GUARANTEE YOU. I
REMEMBER WHEN I WAS IN SOUTH
00:54:36.57\00:54:41.38
AFRICA FOR A CAMP MEETING, AND
I ASKED THE CONFERENCE PRESIDENT
00:54:41.38\00:54:46.05
AND THE TREASURER AND SOE
OTHERS, I LOOKED AT THEM, AND I
00:54:46.05\00:54:49.78
SAID, HOW SERIOUSLY DO YOU TAKE
A CALL DELIVERANCE, BECAUSE WE
00:54:49.78\00:54:57.93
WERE GETTING A LOT OF CALLS
HERE, COMING FROM THE STATES.
00:54:57.93\00:55:00.86
AND WHEN I SAID THAT, THEY ALL
WENT -- THEY ARE LOOKING AROUND,
00:55:00.86\00:55:04.70
AND I THOUGHT, OKAY,
THEY THINK I'M CRAZY.
00:55:04.70\00:55:08.34
AND THEY SAID WE'LL TELL
YOU HOW SERIOUSLY WE TAKE IT.
00:55:08.34\00:55:12.17
WE FAST AND PRAY FOR
THREE DAYS BEFORE WE GO OUT.
00:55:12.17\00:55:15.71
IT IS A VERY REAL
THING -- >> IT'S VERY REAL.
00:55:15.71\00:55:18.28
>> -- AND OFTENTIMES THE VICTIM,
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN THINK TO SAY
00:55:18.28\00:55:24.22
THAT YOU HAVE DEMONIC INFLUENCE
SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE DONE
00:55:24.22\00:55:29.09
SOMETHING WRONG, BUT BECAUSE OF
WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO,
00:55:29.09\00:55:35.36
IT CAN OPEN THAT GATE
FOR THAT. >> DEFINITELY SO.
00:55:35.36\00:55:38.10
AND THE DEVIL CAN ALSO -- AND
WHEN I SAY INFLUENCE, I'M NOT
00:55:38.10\00:55:42.94
SAYING THAT THIS PERSON IS DEMON
POSSESSED, THE DEVIL CAN CREATE
00:55:42.94\00:55:47.64
AN ATMOSPHERE AROUND US THAT
CAN MAKE US FEEL VERY OPPRESSED,
00:55:47.64\00:55:52.71
VERY MUCH HOPELESS AND HELPLESS,
AND AT A TIME LIKE THAT, WHEN
00:55:52.71\00:55:57.39
SOMEBODY REACHES OUT IN PRAYER,
THAT CAN LIFT, OR IF WE CRY OUT
00:55:57.39\00:56:02.76
IN PRAYER, AND SAY LORD, HELP
ME, I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS, THAT
00:56:02.76\00:56:07.36
CAN LIFT. AND SO,
YOU KNOW, WE SHOULD NOT
00:56:07.36\00:56:09.93
TAKE IT LIGHTLY, BECAUSE WE
LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE THERE IS A
00:56:09.93\00:56:13.60
BATTLE GOING ON
THAT WE CANNOT IGNORE.
00:56:13.60\00:56:18.21
>> AMEN. I WANT TO
REMIND YOU AGAIN THIS
00:56:18.21\00:56:21.01
IS LIFE AND YOU CAN CALL US AT
618-627-4651 OR YOU CAN EMAIL US
00:56:21.01\00:56:28.75
AT LIVE@3ABN.TV. AND
GLENNA, PLEASE STAY TUNED.
00:56:28.75\00:56:34.79
I WANT TO SHARE A PERSONAL STORY
WHEN WE GET ON THE OTHER SIDE,
00:56:34.79\00:56:38.39
AND I WOULD LIKE YOU TO SHARE
A LITTLE MORE OF YOUR PERSONAL
00:56:38.39\00:56:42.43
STORY, BECAUSE SOMETIMES WHEN
PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN THROUGH
00:56:42.43\00:56:46.94
GREAT TRAGEDIES -- I THINK GOD
CAN RAISE YOU UP, AND USE YOU IN
00:56:46.94\00:56:52.61
A POWERFUL WAY, AND GLENNA,
I BELIEVE WITH ALL OF MY HEART
00:56:52.61\00:56:59.45
THAT GOD HAS
PLANS FOR YOUR LIFE.
00:56:59.45\00:57:01.42
AND IT'S A PLAN TO
BRING YOU HOPE AND A FUTURE.
00:57:01.42\00:57:05.79
SO PLEASE, DON'T GIVE UP,
BECAUSE GOD LOVES YOU, AND WE'RE
00:57:05.79\00:57:09.59
GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
THIS ON THE OTHER SIDE, AND I'LL
00:57:09.59\00:57:14.50
SHARE SOMETHING AND BE A LITTLE
TRANSPARENT, AND WE'LL HAVE YOU
00:57:14.50\00:57:19.33
SHARE A LITTLE BIT MORE.
WE'RE JUST SO VERY THANKFUL THAT
00:57:19.33\00:57:22.74
EACH ONE OF YOU HAVE JOINED
US. I WILL READ ONE QUICK ONE.
00:57:22.74\00:57:28.11
IT SAYS PLEASE PRAY FOR MY
DAUGHTER'S FRIEND WHO IS WAITING
00:57:28.11\00:57:35.88
TEST RESULTS FOR
POSSIBLE MYELOMA.
00:57:35.88\00:57:39.62
AND WE'LL PRAY FOR THAT PRAYER
REQUEST AS SOON AS WE GET BACK.
00:57:39.62\00:57:44.43
SO PLEASE STAY
TUNED. THERE'S MORE TO COME.
