that's coming up shortly.
00:02:11.12\00:02:12.95
Right, and you

00:02:16.47\00:02:20.43
I really enjoy
listening to and the group is
00:02:20.55\00:02:25.91
called With Praise
and they're gonna sing
00:02:26.05\00:02:28.73
a number for us right now that
00:02:29.56\00:02:32.06
is entitled to "More of You."
00:02:32.54\00:02:34.94
You alone are
perfect what I long to be
00:02:55.56\00:03:03.45
You went to almighty with praise
00:03:03.75\00:03:08.12
Supply my every need,
00:03:08.32\00:03:12.41
You are wearing priceless

00:03:21.76\00:03:25.60
Kindness faith and love
00:03:26.09\00:03:31.54
More I love you
Lord in everything I do
00:03:31.89\00:03:40.12
More I love you Lord let
00:03:40.51\00:03:45.29
your holy light shine through
00:03:45.37\00:03:49.14
Oh my maker at my grave
00:03:49.55\00:03:54.21
May the love ways be
less of me and more of you
00:03:54.71\00:04:07.71
Without you I am nothing
00:04:07.99\00:04:11.74
Living life nil
00:04:12.20\00:04:15.85
Miles of smiles, I
love to hide that in pain
00:04:16.32\00:04:24.30
Despite my year of perfection
00:04:24.49\00:04:28.29
and things that I cannot change
00:04:28.74\00:04:32.69
You only see the part in me
00:04:32.99\00:04:36.68
But beauty still remains
00:04:36.99\00:04:42.29
More I love you
Lord in everything I do
00:04:42.64\00:04:50.37
More I love you Lord let
00:04:50.89\00:04:55.65
your holy light shine through
00:04:55.70\00:04:59.24
Oh my maker and my King
00:04:59.78\00:05:04.03
May there always be
less of me and more of you
00:05:04.35\00:05:16.43
More I love you
Lord in everything I do
00:05:27.92\00:05:35.97
More I love you Lord let
00:05:36.30\00:05:41.30
your holy light shine through
00:05:41.39\00:05:51.15
Oh my maker and my King
00:05:51.57\00:05:55.87
May there always be
less of me and more of you
00:05:56.63\00:06:13.18
Less of me and more of you
00:06:15.10\00:06:27.96
Amen. Amen. I enjoyed that.
00:06:32.89\00:06:33.92
Well done, I like that group.
00:06:33.99\00:06:34.96
And it kind of
fits what we are talking
00:06:35.10\00:06:36.30
about more of
Christ less of us in times
00:06:36.43\00:06:38.51
like this, right,
you need to see Jesus,
00:06:38.55\00:06:40.84
you know, if you got Jesus
00:06:40.89\00:06:41.86
that's who needs
to shine through.
00:06:41.97\00:06:43.69
And Chuck, those young people
00:06:43.81\00:06:44.84
come from Leon, Amavida.
00:06:44.98\00:06:46.14
Yes. La Sierra
University. Great school.
00:06:46.71\00:06:49.21
Yeah, that's
where you met your wife.
00:06:49.53\00:06:51.43
They have great
classes and met a
00:06:51.46\00:06:53.15
wonderful wife.
So that's not a lie.
00:06:53.19\00:06:55.51
Oh, that's what
school is all about anyway.
00:06:55.54\00:06:56.94
Yeah. Anyway, you
got anyway you got
00:06:56.97\00:06:58.08
education but you can't go just
00:06:58.22\00:06:59.87
anywhere and get a good wife.
00:06:59.98\00:07:01.02
La Sierra is good for you and
00:07:01.05\00:07:02.02
the answer is yes it was.
00:07:02.03\00:07:03.57
Southwestern was
good for me because
00:07:05.11\00:07:07.20
that's where I
found Cameo and that's
00:07:07.23\00:07:10.49
boy she won't let
me tell you how long
00:07:10.61\00:07:12.10
we have been married but next
00:07:12.24\00:07:13.90
year will be our 50th so.
00:07:13.93\00:07:15.63
Well, thanks for
keeping that. Yeah.
00:07:17.10\00:07:18.33
Wow! It means I am old enough
00:07:18.51\00:07:20.66
to be your younger brother.
00:07:20.70\00:07:21.73
Yeah, well,
that's something like.
00:07:21.78\00:07:23.09
Well, C.A. we've got
lot of things going on.
00:07:25.66\00:07:29.08
Tell me some of the things that
00:07:29.19\00:07:30.61
we've got planned for tonight.
00:07:30.78\00:07:32.06
Well, as we said
we just got a word
00:07:32.25\00:07:34.83
that the team is
on the ground that's
00:07:34.93\00:07:36.98
Wally Amundson, who is at ADRA
00:07:37.01\00:07:38.44
Inter-American
Division. We're gonna talk
00:07:38.47\00:07:40.57
to them in just a little bit and
00:07:40.60\00:07:42.70
I think John Torres is with him.
00:07:42.88\00:07:45.39
And he is from our office.
00:07:45.72\00:07:46.69
Yes, from the office, yeah,
00:07:46.82\00:07:47.79
as a senior media
guy, so we're gonna
00:07:47.80\00:07:50.30
get some first hand
information at least
00:07:50.41\00:07:52.99
from the
Dominical Republic side they
00:07:53.13\00:07:54.60
landed in the DR
and are heading to the
00:07:54.68\00:07:57.53
Haitian border
even as we speaks so we
00:07:57.61\00:07:59.45
will talk to them
in just a little bit.
00:07:59.48\00:08:01.72
But you know we
want to talk about ADRA
00:08:01.89\00:08:04.19
but there is a video
clip that I want to go
00:08:04.23\00:08:06.34
to now because
3ABN was in Haiti a
00:08:06.38\00:08:10.44
couple years ago.
So this we are not sort
00:08:10.57\00:08:12.88
of joining come
lately. We had our minds
00:08:12.93\00:08:15.13
and hearts on
Haiti, and it was a 3ABN
00:08:15.16\00:08:17.23
staffer, Ben
Burkhamer something interesting
00:08:17.32\00:08:19.95
happened. You know,
the Lord brings things
00:08:20.04\00:08:22.32
together in time,
on time. Back in the
00:08:22.35\00:08:24.76
1960s or 70s most
of the counties in
00:08:24.91\00:08:28.43
Illinois buried or
secreted away an entire
00:08:28.56\00:08:31.55
hospital. You
know that time days of
00:08:31.58\00:08:33.33
cold war, they were
worrying about bombs
00:08:33.55\00:08:35.30
falling this kind
of thing and so these
00:08:35.37\00:08:37.99
hospitals sat
undisturbed in crates
00:08:38.07\00:08:40.78
unopened for years.
Everything you would
00:08:40.93\00:08:44.22
want to open up a
hospital, surgical
00:08:44.25\00:08:46.70
equipment and
everything you want,
00:08:46.73\00:08:49.56
gloves, lighting,
to surgical tables to
00:08:49.94\00:08:52.38
scalpels everything a
fully function hospital
00:08:52.90\00:08:54.86
and after sitting
unopened in crisis for 30
00:08:55.33\00:08:57.11
years, the
government said we don't
00:08:57.20\00:08:58.29
want to keep these anymore.
00:08:58.42\00:08:59.40
If you want them
just take them and one
00:09:00.16\00:09:01.92
of our staff is
here Ben Burkhamer who
00:09:01.99\00:09:05.01
is an EMT, now a
police man also and also
00:09:05.04\00:09:07.10
a cameraman for
us, got to hold one of
00:09:07.14\00:09:09.44
these things and
we decided to ship it
00:09:09.52\00:09:12.38
down to Haiti and
so a number of 3ABN
00:09:12.42\00:09:14.84
people went
down and we staffed a
00:09:14.90\00:09:16.84
hospital for a
week. They had a brand
00:09:16.88\00:09:19.45
new hospital with
nothing just walls.
00:09:19.49\00:09:21.63
They had no
equipment, we had equipment,
00:09:21.95\00:09:23.13
no hospital. So
we went down and we
00:09:23.27\00:09:25.60
ran that hospital,
operated that hospital
00:09:25.68\00:09:27.41
for a week, and
even then you could
00:09:27.98\00:09:30.92
see that Haiti was in trouble.
00:09:30.98\00:09:32.13
But we were able to do this.
00:09:32.55\00:09:33.70
I want to give you
just a little footage
00:09:33.82\00:09:34.92
because it sort
gives you an idea of what
00:09:34.99\00:09:37.50
Haiti was like in
the so-called good times.
00:09:37.61\00:09:39.59
And things were
bad in the good times
00:09:40.00\00:09:41.88
and of course they
are really bad now.
00:09:42.08\00:09:43.46
Now there you see
D. Herald ran in there
00:09:43.49\00:09:45.27
and you were in there and some
00:09:45.30\00:09:46.53
of the others they had been.
00:09:46.67\00:09:47.70
And Ben and Brad
and a number of people,
00:09:47.76\00:09:50.14
so 3ABN has sort of
had its heart and eye
00:09:50.28\00:09:52.52
on Haiti for many, many years.
00:09:52.55\00:09:53.91
Just a short
video clip about four
00:09:53.94\00:09:55.27
minutes and we're
gonna show that just now.
00:09:55.42\00:09:56.81
Lord I know you
love these children
00:09:59.68\00:10:01.02
far more than I
do, but I see they
00:10:02.02\00:10:04.74
are suffering,
and I wondered why.
00:10:04.84\00:10:07.43
Haiti's greatest
need right now is for
00:10:15.15\00:10:16.12
people to realize
that there is a God
00:10:16.13\00:10:17.60
in heaven that loves them.
00:10:17.63\00:10:18.85
And I believe that
if you start teaching
00:10:19.87\00:10:21.75
them that God
loves them even in the
00:10:21.78\00:10:23.94
middle of the worst plight,
00:10:24.14\00:10:26.19
the worst
starvation, the worst situation
00:10:27.06\00:10:29.86
there is, I
believe that people have
00:10:29.95\00:10:31.85
a hope there
because God is hope.
00:10:31.88\00:10:33.85
This is the time
of the year when you
00:10:34.94\00:10:36.75
start thinking
about other people and
00:10:36.78\00:10:40.02
reaching kind of
beyond yourselves and
00:10:40.07\00:10:43.27
I have never
been on a mission trip
00:10:43.59\00:10:45.84
before and it
was something that I
00:10:45.94\00:10:49.20
really wanted
to do. When I first
00:10:49.34\00:10:52.33
heard about going to Haiti,
00:10:52.41\00:10:54.11
I was almost
apprehensive or nervous
00:10:54.20\00:10:57.14
because you know
Haiti is such a poor
00:10:57.25\00:10:59.94
country, and I didn't
know If I could handle
00:11:00.06\00:11:03.66
it or not, and
3ABN does programs with
00:11:03.69\00:11:06.69
the lot of
ministries, so that we can
00:11:06.73\00:11:08.09
encourage people
to go out and be a
00:11:08.19\00:11:10.22
part of the
ministries. But I am behind
00:11:10.32\00:11:12.48
the scenes there,
so then to be able
00:11:12.52\00:11:15.12
to work with the
people that I worked
00:11:15.15\00:11:18.20
with everyday
and actually go on a
00:11:18.23\00:11:19.68
mission trip with
them and to go with amen
00:11:19.77\00:11:22.64
and worked with
those people and the
00:11:22.99\00:11:24.72
doctors and then
have ADRA involved
00:11:24.84\00:11:27.05
and Donald and other ministries.
00:11:27.63\00:11:29.88
It was just so
incredible to watch how
00:11:30.74\00:11:32.68
God meshed all
these ministries together
00:11:32.76\00:11:35.30
and then the joy of
just being there and
00:11:35.85\00:11:40.19
being a part of it
instead of just seeing,
00:11:40.27\00:11:43.66
hearing and
seeing people come back
00:11:45.75\00:11:47.36
and talk about it.
But to actually be a part
00:11:47.39\00:11:50.21
of it and
sharing that to have 3ABN
00:11:50.26\00:11:53.16
people go out
there and do a ministry.
00:11:53.24\00:11:56.21
And it was just
exciting in a way that's,
00:11:56.77\00:12:00.24
that's indescribable,
the joy and things that
00:12:01.67\00:12:06.67
fill your heart
to see how God puts
00:12:06.71\00:12:08.62
it all together to
the glory of his name.
00:12:08.65\00:12:12.81
And that all leads
up to the fact that
00:12:13.90\00:12:15.46
you are saying
exactly what Jesus did,
00:12:15.50\00:12:17.67
do it under the least of these,
00:12:18.31\00:12:19.60
bless the
children, help the children,
00:12:19.99\00:12:22.03
help the people of
the world, and they
00:12:22.33\00:12:23.70
are gonna start
listening to what you
00:12:23.73\00:12:25.31
have to say, and
then we can teach them
00:12:25.37\00:12:27.51
that Christ is the
one and only, God is real
00:12:27.66\00:12:31.55
and he can be really there so.
00:12:31.62\00:12:33.07
And so Lifeline
is doing the mission
00:12:33.54\00:12:35.84
of the Bible. It's
commissioned in the
00:12:35.87\00:12:37.92
Bible to go into
all the world and teach
00:12:37.95\00:12:40.21
the Gospel. But
you just can't say with
00:12:40.67\00:12:42.64
words when they
are starving to death.
00:12:42.71\00:12:44.20
You have to shield
them. There is a God
00:12:44.70\00:12:46.49
in heaven that loves them.
00:12:46.52\00:12:47.69
And I believe that
if you start teaching
00:12:48.73\00:12:50.57
them that God loves them,
00:12:50.60\00:12:52.30
I believe that
people have a hope then
00:12:52.43\00:12:54.13
that we need to help the needy,
00:12:54.46\00:12:55.82
the widdle, the
poor, the sick, the hungry,
00:12:56.05\00:12:58.32
the ones that's in prison.
00:12:58.41\00:12:59.59
We need to go out to where they
00:12:59.72\00:13:00.99
are at and
compel them to Christ.
00:13:01.02\00:13:03.17
The week that we
were running the clinic,
00:13:03.71\00:13:06.73
we were treating
people some 9 to 10 hour
00:13:06.77\00:13:10.24
days of work. I was
a kind of amazing to
00:13:10.40\00:13:12.61
see how the
doctors reserved energy
00:13:12.70\00:13:15.47
that the Lord gave
them that they would
00:13:15.64\00:13:17.31
work all day long
treating people and
00:13:17.39\00:13:19.85
diagnose and
sicknesses and at the end
00:13:20.99\00:13:23.21
of 10 hour, 11 hour
day, there would be a
00:13:23.25\00:13:25.04
quick supper and
they would be teaching
00:13:25.20\00:13:28.07
health seminars at
night, teaching people
00:13:28.19\00:13:29.83
healthy ways to
live and how to drink
00:13:29.98\00:13:31.68
clean water and
they gave these great
00:13:31.84\00:13:33.86
slide presentations
at the end of each one
00:13:34.00\00:13:36.51
of these seminars.
The people will receive
00:13:36.54\00:13:39.23
a gift and the
gift they received was
00:13:39.26\00:13:41.40
these Bibles that we received,
00:13:41.49\00:13:43.66
that we were able
to, they were donated
00:13:43.75\00:13:46.41
to us, and we
were able to pass on
00:13:46.47\00:13:49.26
one of those Bibles
to everyone that came
00:13:49.31\00:13:50.92
to the health
seminars. So not only did
00:13:51.08\00:13:53.04
a ministry to with,
the health ministry but
00:13:53.33\00:13:56.77
they were given scripture tutor
00:13:57.25\00:13:59.38
to take home with them.
00:13:59.92\00:14:01.79
I believe in my
heart that there is enough
00:14:03.18\00:14:04.73
good people that's
out here in the world,
00:14:04.80\00:14:06.99
they cares about
others, less fortunate
00:14:07.27\00:14:10.17
to themselves
that if they know the
00:14:10.24\00:14:11.94
need they are gonna
help. I believe that with
00:14:12.02\00:14:14.92
all my heart
because these are the people
00:14:15.04\00:14:16.42
that love God more
than anything in the
00:14:16.54\00:14:17.97
world, and when
you love God you love
00:14:18.05\00:14:20.10
your brother.
And so when you love
00:14:20.23\00:14:22.23
God and your
brother, you are bound by
00:14:22.39\00:14:24.86
duty of God and
the love of others that
00:14:24.98\00:14:27.78
you are going to do something.
00:14:27.81\00:14:29.11
So 3ABN is making
a tremendous outreach
00:14:29.27\00:14:33.22
just by allowing
the world to know
00:14:33.63\00:14:35.59
there is an
enormous need here in Haiti.
00:14:35.87\00:14:38.81
As we were pulling up the team
00:14:40.57\00:14:41.74
together group
that was going with us,
00:14:41.81\00:14:45.19
where C.A.
expressed his interest in a
00:14:45.32\00:14:48.16
company that
come along within and
00:14:48.33\00:14:49.57
be a part of the mission trip,
00:14:49.68\00:14:51.47
where he is
gonna kind a help along
00:14:51.58\00:14:53.86
with some of the
production and the
00:14:53.95\00:14:54.92
things and
coordinating some of the
00:14:54.95\00:14:57.55
activities that we did there,
00:14:57.82\00:14:59.10
and turned out,
end up been a bigger
00:15:00.21\00:15:02.07
blessing than
that maybe what even
00:15:02.23\00:15:03.95
intended originally planned what
00:15:04.05\00:15:06.24
his role was on
the mission trip.
00:15:06.40\00:15:08.05
We are right in the
middle trying to get
00:15:12.11\00:15:15.24
something done
here, this is live
00:15:15.31\00:15:16.74
TV as Danny
often says. Yes, it is.
00:15:16.79\00:15:17.99
Because we want to
get the information
00:15:18.83\00:15:20.40
to you for contact while we were
00:15:20.50\00:15:23.06
watching that
video piece, we were
00:15:23.14\00:15:24.54
thinking we need
to get the information
00:15:24.66\00:15:26.04
back to you for contact.
00:15:26.13\00:15:27.10
So, that's gonna
appear on the screen
00:15:27.11\00:15:28.08
shortly just the
lower thirds but as you saw
00:15:28.09\00:15:31.37
that was Haiti in
the so-called good time,
00:15:32.03\00:15:33.82
yeah, and it was
and we are people
00:15:33.85\00:15:35.41
walking in. I learnt
to do blood pressure.
00:15:35.47\00:15:37.28
We had people
walking in with blood
00:15:37.40\00:15:38.61
pressure counts
of 220/180 and you
00:15:38.73\00:15:41.71
wonder how this
person is still standing.
00:15:41.76\00:15:43.50
So, you are
dealing with the people who
00:15:44.13\00:15:45.64
are very resilient
but their resiliency as
00:15:45.67\00:15:48.56
you well know
Chuck is being tax to the
00:15:48.65\00:15:50.83
max there I say with
what is happening now.
00:15:50.93\00:15:53.93
One of the
person you saw that was
00:15:55.03\00:15:56.56
Donna Curtis from
Children's International
00:15:56.79\00:15:58.39
Lifeline. We met
with the doctors from
00:15:58.54\00:16:00.91
Yemen, Adventist
Medical Evangelism
00:16:01.03\00:16:03.16
network and we
also pooled together
00:16:03.27\00:16:04.90
to go down and
help. Well that was a
00:16:05.27\00:16:07.86
little thing, we
saw patients from sun up
00:16:07.89\00:16:10.71
to sun down.
This kind of thing is
00:16:10.91\00:16:13.44
much more devastating and I am
00:16:13.51\00:16:15.76
so very glad gentleman that the
00:16:15.82\00:16:17.38
Seventh-Day
Adventist Church is rising
00:16:17.41\00:16:19.32
to the occasion
whether or not CNN says,
00:16:19.39\00:16:22.69
Seventh-Day
Adventist or ABC or NBC, CBS.
00:16:22.76\00:16:25.36
In heaven, it's
written down that
00:16:25.62\00:16:27.50
God's people arisen
to the occasion I think
00:16:28.13\00:16:29.79
that's worth. And
in Haiti it's written
00:16:29.95\00:16:31.39
down to, I want to
say one thing before
00:16:31.45\00:16:33.35
I speak a lot of
places around the world
00:16:33.77\00:16:35.58
and I always
pray and I ask God's
00:16:35.61\00:16:37.75
Holy Spirit to let
the people hear what
00:16:38.14\00:16:40.01
they need to hear.
And I think tonight
00:16:40.08\00:16:42.82
we are asking but I
think we should just
00:16:42.93\00:16:44.75
take a moment just
for a prayer and ask
00:16:44.90\00:16:48.13
God to impress
upon these viewers like
00:16:48.16\00:16:52.24
never before that
will be open what is it
00:16:52.34\00:16:54.33
we really can do our tendency is
00:16:54.45\00:16:55.94
well I call in
$10 or I will call $50
00:16:55.98\00:16:58.51
or $100 but I
think it's a time to
00:16:58.56\00:17:00.89
sacrifice and I
am sending here the
00:17:01.00\00:17:02.36
Holy Spirits
convicted me that I need to
00:17:02.44\00:17:04.71
make a sacrifice and
I am going to tell you,
00:17:04.76\00:17:06.77
I am going to do
that for ADRA and I
00:17:06.82\00:17:09.35
think our
viewers. Can we just take a
00:17:09.44\00:17:11.24
minute or two here
and just have a prayer.
00:17:11.67\00:17:14.23
And when we offer that prayer.
00:17:14.26\00:17:15.23
Let us pray for
the people who are
00:17:15.34\00:17:16.84
suffering in
Haiti. You know the prayer
00:17:16.95\00:17:19.64
for generosity has a comma;
00:17:19.81\00:17:21.34
it is because of the
sadness of Haiti, yes.
00:17:21.43\00:17:24.57
And let's pray for
us as donors and let's
00:17:24.93\00:17:28.99
pray for those people who are
00:17:29.02\00:17:30.62
just suffering in
miserably right now.
00:17:30.66\00:17:34.74
Alright, Danny would you pray?
00:17:34.77\00:17:35.98
Sure I will.
Heavenly Father, we just
00:17:36.06\00:17:38.40
thank you for
your many blessings and
00:17:38.49\00:17:40.33
Lord as we understand what it
00:17:40.54\00:17:42.93
does to us but
what it must do to
00:17:43.00\00:17:44.65
you as we realize heaven is not
00:17:44.72\00:17:46.77
heaven to your
people at home and
00:17:46.87\00:17:49.90
as creator of
the universe we can't
00:17:50.23\00:17:52.92
even imagine what
you must be feeling
00:17:52.97\00:17:56.07
when you see the
sin and devastation
00:17:56.14\00:17:57.96
all around the
world not in just Haiti,
00:17:57.99\00:17:59.79
but around the
world. And God we are
00:17:59.89\00:18:01.82
asking today for
miracle. These people
00:18:01.96\00:18:04.76
are your
children. There are brothers
00:18:04.79\00:18:06.35
and sisters, and
Lord we want to do
00:18:06.38\00:18:08.26
more than we even
dream or think possible.
00:18:08.51\00:18:11.59
We realize of
ourselves we can do
00:18:11.71\00:18:13.36
nothing but through you we can
00:18:13.39\00:18:14.56
accomplish all
things. This is an incredible
00:18:14.66\00:18:18.07
opportunity for
the world to see,
00:18:18.12\00:18:21.03
to care of a
Christian. Those of us
00:18:22.12\00:18:24.67
who claim to be
Christ like that are
00:18:24.72\00:18:27.03
willing to give and
not just talk and we just,
00:18:27.09\00:18:29.97
I am praying right
now for every viewer,
00:18:30.05\00:18:32.35
every listener by
radio, those watching on
00:18:32.72\00:18:35.03
the internet,
those by any means they
00:18:35.69\00:18:38.26
are getting this
program, that right now
00:18:38.29\00:18:40.43
they would stop,
take just a few seconds
00:18:40.75\00:18:43.27
since the Lord
what would you have me
00:18:43.30\00:18:45.02
to do. And no
matter what you impress
00:18:45.16\00:18:47.43
them that they
will be willing to give.
00:18:47.46\00:18:49.57
We have things we can sacrifice,
00:18:50.26\00:18:51.71
things we can
sell. We can commit
00:18:51.74\00:18:54.08
investments to you
because this is not a
00:18:54.67\00:18:56.47
one time gift. This
is some, this folk is
00:18:56.54\00:18:58.60
gonna take years
to build and we just
00:18:58.68\00:19:01.00
pray heavenly
Father that you would be
00:19:01.16\00:19:02.44
with each of us,
look at the big picture
00:19:02.58\00:19:05.01
long term,
realize how much you have
00:19:05.43\00:19:07.81
blessed all of
us who have, what we
00:19:07.88\00:19:09.87
have and realize
true Christianity is
00:19:09.93\00:19:12.42
only our sharing
with what we have
00:19:12.55\00:19:14.64
with those less
fortunate than us.
00:19:14.76\00:19:16.95
So we thank you for hearing,
00:19:17.21\00:19:18.47
for answering
prayers. We pray that
00:19:18.56\00:19:20.04
these folks will
go to these phones and
00:19:20.07\00:19:21.73
they will call
immediately. We pray that
00:19:22.56\00:19:24.92
ADRA would be so
overwhelm with calls
00:19:24.95\00:19:27.51
that they have
to call in more help
00:19:27.56\00:19:28.74
not only tonight,
tomorrow or the next
00:19:28.81\00:19:30.46
day until we can
make a difference in the
00:19:30.56\00:19:33.18
lives and people can
see Jesus in us in Haiti.
00:19:33.21\00:19:36.56
In Jesus name I
pray, Amen, Amen,
00:19:36.73\00:19:39.38
Amen, Amen. So with
that we are asking you,
00:19:39.87\00:19:42.27
we want to keep
up for our crew here
00:19:42.30\00:19:43.93
as much as we can,
keep putting up the,
00:19:44.34\00:19:46.59
I think it's up here
the ADRA.org and also
00:19:46.99\00:19:50.62
the phone number 422 or 424-ADRA
00:19:50.65\00:19:54.44
(800) 424, I
believe it is ADRA and keep
00:19:54.64\00:19:57.59
that up on the
screen because we're
00:19:57.65\00:19:58.89
just praying that
the Holy Spirit impresses
00:19:58.97\00:20:01.04
you. It will take just a moment,
00:20:01.12\00:20:02.68
go over those phone
lines, for any reason
00:20:02.95\00:20:04.68
if they are busy
just call right back and
00:20:04.76\00:20:07.19
hopefully we will be
able to take this and
00:20:07.32\00:20:09.00
we're gonna see that
million dollars come in.
00:20:09.03\00:20:10.81
Thank you and they are busy,
00:20:11.11\00:20:12.48
thanks to the
internet. I've got e-mails
00:20:12.67\00:20:15.50
from my colleagues
at our office and the
00:20:15.53\00:20:17.54
phones are ringing off the hook.
00:20:17.60\00:20:19.49
And thank you 3ABN for being
00:20:19.86\00:20:23.08
part of this
relief aid response.
00:20:23.27\00:20:26.78
What a privilege, and thank you.
00:20:26.81\00:20:28.65
It is so much
appreciated in behalf of
00:20:29.08\00:20:31.51
my bothers and sisters in Haiti,
00:20:31.58\00:20:33.04
your brothers
and sisters in Haiti.
00:20:33.17\00:20:35.04
Thank you, we are making a
00:20:36.00\00:20:37.96
difference in
people lives, amen.
00:20:38.07\00:20:39.93
I'll tell you, I
don't know what you are
00:20:41.17\00:20:42.34
gonna do Danny
tonight because I'm not
00:20:42.40\00:20:44.59
gonna put you
on the spot but I'm
00:20:45.99\00:20:46.96
gonna match you,
okay. Whatever your
00:20:46.97\00:20:47.94
gift is tonight
alright within reason.
00:20:48.02\00:20:50.83
Okay, well I can promise you.
00:20:51.57\00:20:53.58
That I have to add that.
00:20:53.61\00:20:54.58
I promise you it will be within.
00:20:54.59\00:20:55.69
Okay, alright. $2000 I bet.
00:20:55.79\00:20:59.62
Okay, okay,
alright. Thank you and
00:20:59.94\00:21:01.88
we've had people
give this small gift.
00:21:01.91\00:21:04.74
I will do it 1000
and I would like to see
00:21:04.83\00:21:06.55
how many folk at
home right now would
00:21:06.58\00:21:08.95
you be willing to
give a $1000 and thank
00:21:08.98\00:21:11.78
you for all the
$5, the $10 and $50.
00:21:11.85\00:21:14.97
3ABN and I can
tell you this Chuck over
00:21:15.34\00:21:17.23
the years and Jim
knows it that over the
00:21:17.26\00:21:19.29
years we don't
leave off the $50,000,
00:21:19.32\00:21:21.93
or $100,000 we are
thankful for those gifts,
00:21:21.96\00:21:24.03
but it's been the
$5, a $10, a $20 that is
00:21:24.06\00:21:27.88
our base. Tonight
the base for this million
00:21:27.91\00:21:30.59
dollars will be your
$20, your $50, your $100,
00:21:30.76\00:21:33.51
but I would like to
challenge those out here
00:21:33.91\00:21:36.04
that would be
willing to give a $1000 and
00:21:36.42\00:21:39.09
to do that Jim as
said, he would do,
00:21:39.16\00:21:40.73
so we have two
right here so far so,
00:21:40.88\00:21:42.86
you think about
it, you may not be able
00:21:43.01\00:21:44.51
to give it all
tonight or tomorrow but
00:21:44.54\00:21:46.76
if you can give it
over the next month
00:21:46.79\00:21:48.70
or whatever in
portions $250 now or $250
00:21:48.83\00:21:52.03
again, I'm like
as you said I hadn't
00:21:52.62\00:21:54.35
heard it term that way but I am
00:21:54.51\00:21:56.12
shameless
because this has nothing
00:21:56.35\00:21:57.56
to do with me.
This has to do with the
00:21:57.59\00:22:00.19
people of God's
children. Of God,
00:22:00.32\00:22:01.98
they are suffering
in ways that we can
00:22:02.09\00:22:04.08
even imagine as
the one person said
00:22:04.13\00:22:06.88
here the pictures don't paint,
00:22:06.91\00:22:09.15
you know that we
see isn't accurate.
00:22:10.53\00:22:12.51
It's being there and
I saw that with Katrina,
00:22:12.57\00:22:14.89
I watched it for
days within 2 days or
00:22:14.95\00:22:17.49
so we were there
and I was just blown
00:22:17.57\00:22:19.59
away by how much
worse than what we
00:22:19.68\00:22:21.93
thought it really was
by looking at the news.
00:22:22.01\00:22:24.14
And so we want
you to really pray
00:22:24.53\00:22:26.30
about it and those
of you I have feeling
00:22:26.44\00:22:28.35
that could be at
least be a $1000.
00:22:28.44\00:22:29.72
There is potential
millions watching at
00:22:29.75\00:22:31.78
least $2000 who
could match mine and
00:22:31.83\00:22:34.20
Jim gift here
tonight of a $1000 and
00:22:34.28\00:22:36.60
we do this in no
way, braggingly no way
00:22:36.66\00:22:39.38
doing anything. This
is just something the
00:22:39.44\00:22:41.03
Holy Spirit had
prompted I didn't,
00:22:41.25\00:22:42.67
I'm not, right.
You know, I had no
00:22:43.03\00:22:44.61
intension of any
figure and Jim you
00:22:44.73\00:22:46.82
brought it up so we will do it,
00:22:46.90\00:22:48.13
so in actuality I
am matching yours, yes.
00:22:48.58\00:22:50.51
So you brought it
up but I didn't know
00:22:50.67\00:22:51.82
what it would be,
so we want to do this.
00:22:51.88\00:22:53.77
This is not the
best time of the world
00:22:53.88\00:22:55.09
for me
financially, but I know that
00:22:55.18\00:22:57.64
these people
needed worse than I do.
00:22:57.75\00:23:00.03
They do. This
may not be your best
00:23:00.15\00:23:02.15
time but this is
Haiti's worst time.
00:23:02.27\00:23:04.28
Yeah, that's
right. And so how do we
00:23:04.31\00:23:06.42
show solidarity
and thank you again to
00:23:06.45\00:23:08.84
the 3ABN
community. This generosity and
00:23:08.87\00:23:13.22
we treat as a
sacred trust every gift
00:23:13.40\00:23:17.81
we get. I believe
it. And ADRA's family
00:23:17.99\00:23:21.02
is 6 billion people
watch. Everyone in the
00:23:21.10\00:23:25.99
world is a
member of ADRA's family,
00:23:26.02\00:23:28.20
either as a
beneficiary because there
00:23:28.80\00:23:31.21
are people who need
of help or people who
00:23:31.24\00:23:33.07
are able to help. And
so we are match makers.
00:23:33.12\00:23:36.14
These kind of like
La Sierra College and
00:23:36.29\00:23:38.84
there you go, that's right,
00:23:38.87\00:23:39.84
we are match
maker. I just want to add,
00:23:39.85\00:23:40.82
I can put Danny
on the spot because
00:23:40.95\00:23:42.49
you guys donate a
$1000, I'm gonna have
00:23:43.32\00:23:45.14
to do a 1000. Chuck
is gonna happy thinking
00:23:45.27\00:23:48.64
about two holy
people working on him.
00:23:48.71\00:23:50.77
I will tell you a
little longer than you guys,
00:23:50.80\00:23:51.89
but here is a
deal. I was saving a cup
00:23:51.92\00:23:54.81
of pennies because
as you know we talked
00:23:54.84\00:23:56.46
today I needed some
work done on the room
00:23:56.61\00:23:58.22
in my house, so if I
can get you to help me
00:23:58.25\00:24:00.19
with the work
than I can free up that
00:24:00.22\00:24:01.56
money and give it
to ADRA so you got
00:24:01.67\00:24:03.50
to say yes to
that. I am gonna do
00:24:03.65\00:24:05.46
it, yeah, you know
what I am volunteering
00:24:05.54\00:24:06.72
my brother
Kenny, get him out and
00:24:06.76\00:24:08.95
I am gonna
volunteer my brother Ronnie.
00:24:08.99\00:24:10.56
I hope you have a
couple of thousand brothers.
00:24:11.15\00:24:13.22
yeah, I have got
several, I've got several we
00:24:13.58\00:24:16.79
might even get
Tommy then and I know
00:24:16.92\00:24:18.61
Tommy has done a
great work in Haiti
00:24:18.66\00:24:20.05
but we will come
and work in your place
00:24:20.16\00:24:21.70
for free and you
put that money to Haiti.
00:24:21.81\00:24:24.52
How that be.
Alright, that works for me.
00:24:24.55\00:24:26.49
That sounds
good. This is wonderful
00:24:26.93\00:24:28.08
because to give
now as far as to be
00:24:28.27\00:24:30.55
able to respond now. You know,
00:24:30.58\00:24:32.99
and ADRA's, one
of ADRA's skills and
00:24:33.20\00:24:36.95
abilities is to
respond quickly. You know,
00:24:37.00\00:24:39.80
we don't have a
lot of sniffer dogs and
00:24:40.12\00:24:41.76
do the searching
rescue. But we are great
00:24:41.86\00:24:44.89
when it comes to
feeding programs,
00:24:45.15\00:24:46.69
when it comes to
shelter programs for
00:24:47.07\00:24:49.29
internally displace
people. They can well
00:24:49.32\00:24:52.75
supply a long-term
stuff, And then we get,
00:24:52.85\00:24:55.18
you know, we will
be getting to the rehab
00:24:55.46\00:24:57.22
phase soon about
the time that the news
00:24:57.38\00:25:00.93
networks lose
interest. They find something
00:25:01.07\00:25:02.85
interesting. We
are under the belt of
00:25:02.97\00:25:03.96
messiah, alright.
You realize that in
00:25:04.09\00:25:07.03
Myanmar, we had
been there for 5 years
00:25:07.09\00:25:10.02
after the Tsunami
and that is when the
00:25:10.16\00:25:12.28
cyclone hit, yeah.
And we were still there
00:25:12.42\00:25:15.11
so when the
cyclone hit we were there
00:25:15.55\00:25:18.20
and the stories were incredible.
00:25:18.97\00:25:20.98
ADRA has been in
Haiti for 30 years,
00:25:21.21\00:25:23.32
for 30 years, yes.
And we will be there
00:25:24.45\00:25:27.71
in the future and
we will be moving from
00:25:27.90\00:25:30.70
temporary shelter,
from medications from
00:25:32.61\00:25:35.79
this first phase, we
will be moving to second
00:25:35.94\00:25:38.81
phase to rehabilitation
and renovation and
00:25:38.91\00:25:42.19
these longer
extended programs because
00:25:42.27\00:25:45.18
the needs don't go
away when the TV cameras go.
00:25:45.27\00:25:48.37
No, very, very
true. They are there.
00:25:48.40\00:25:50.14
That's why we
showed that little clip
00:25:50.65\00:25:51.75
of what 3ABN was
doing because the
00:25:52.19\00:25:54.02
truth is long
after we are on our next
00:25:54.16\00:25:56.45
tragedy or you
know the next story,
00:25:56.48\00:25:59.59
Haiti is still gonna
be in trouble, right.
00:25:59.82\00:26:01.65
And they are gonna
need some long-term
00:26:01.78\00:26:03.28
aid and it's the ADRA's of the
00:26:03.43\00:26:05.36
world that do
that kind of thing.
00:26:05.50\00:26:07.26
I first went to
Haiti in 1990, I don't
00:26:07.29\00:26:12.80
remember it was so long ago.
00:26:12.83\00:26:14.42
My son was working
for ADRA and he was
00:26:15.09\00:26:17.70
in ADRA, Haiti and
working in the food
00:26:17.73\00:26:20.23
security program.
And I visited ADRA and
00:26:20.68\00:26:23.96
visited my son, it was too far.
00:26:24.07\00:26:26.28
And Haiti was in
real need of development,
00:26:27.45\00:26:30.34
strength and
capacity building then.
00:26:30.46\00:26:34.07
It is in more need
now than ever before.
00:26:34.42\00:26:37.78
I haven't been to
Haiti recently and
00:26:38.63\00:26:40.54
I intentionally
didn't go this week because
00:26:40.57\00:26:43.49
I knew that if I went
I would display someone
00:26:43.52\00:26:45.77
who could provide
more benefit and who
00:26:46.31\00:26:49.86
needed shelter
and clothing and food
00:26:49.94\00:26:51.83
themselves. But I
went to the Tsunami right
00:26:51.97\00:26:54.51
after and I can
just re-experience what
00:26:54.65\00:26:58.20
people are going through and the
00:26:58.30\00:27:00.61
difficulty it is on
staff people to be one
00:27:00.69\00:27:03.83
of our staff
people in the Tsunami you
00:27:03.86\00:27:07.13
know finally just
to had to leave after
00:27:07.16\00:27:10.01
only a few days
because they were
00:27:10.13\00:27:12.50
surrounded by such
incredible tragedy of
00:27:12.70\00:27:18.08
bodies and families.
And I was in Sri Lanka
00:27:18.31\00:27:22.36
and Thailand
within days of the Tsunami
00:27:23.45\00:27:27.16
and what doesn't
show on TV is the fact,
00:27:28.62\00:27:32.35
is the stench and
the sense of decay
00:27:32.61\00:27:36.64
and that nothing is working.
00:27:37.83\00:27:39.79
There is human
community and there is
00:27:40.06\00:27:42.02
a solidarity we
were talking about,
00:27:42.05\00:27:44.15
but nothing is
working and you've seen
00:27:44.42\00:27:48.20
you know the news
reports. You know,
00:27:48.41\00:27:49.94
humanitarian
agencies are being challenged,
00:27:50.01\00:27:53.36
and the response
of Government is being
00:27:55.86\00:27:58.97
challenged because
everything has broken
00:27:59.04\00:28:00.75
down. But we've
got a team now on the
00:28:00.81\00:28:03.16
ground. We've
people who were there
00:28:03.26\00:28:04.97
before but our
ADRA office collapsed
00:28:05.06\00:28:07.69
and we now have tents, okay.
00:28:08.61\00:28:11.74
Already pitched right
next to the ADRA office,
00:28:11.89\00:28:14.05
we have computers
going in with the people
00:28:14.36\00:28:16.82
that would be
talking to this evening.
00:28:16.87\00:28:18.91
And so we are
ramped back up again
00:28:19.93\00:28:21.91
and we bring in
the first phase of
00:28:22.20\00:28:24.27
medications and so
ADRA was responding now.
00:28:24.41\00:28:28.17
And so we hope that
people will give now
00:28:28.61\00:28:30.39
ADRA.org,
1-800-424-ADRA, keep that up on
00:28:32.01\00:28:36.65
the screen, this
is the spoken banner,
00:28:36.68\00:28:38.51
oh, I wish
everything I did could happen
00:28:39.53\00:28:42.25
like that. Just wave
your arms until it happens.
00:28:42.49\00:28:44.62
I keep waving, yeah and so.
00:28:45.07\00:28:47.91
Well, I think you
are looking for a text
00:28:48.55\00:28:50.72
in your heart.
You know, a question
00:28:50.84\00:28:52.72
has come and this question,
00:28:52.83\00:28:54.11
kind of question
always comes on the hills
00:28:54.25\00:28:56.29
of disaster. We
heard in 9/11 in New York,
00:28:56.32\00:28:59.57
you know, the
question Anna is asking
00:28:59.74\00:29:02.03
with Haiti being
so poor to begin with
00:29:02.09\00:29:04.45
why would God
allow this to happen,
00:29:04.80\00:29:06.52
this always happens
in face of disaster,
00:29:06.62\00:29:08.58
why would God let
this kind of thing happen.
00:29:08.78\00:29:11.28
I think it's a kind
of question that we need
00:29:11.33\00:29:14.25
to wrestle with.
One of the things that
00:29:14.28\00:29:16.79
made Haiti's
disaster so bad was the
00:29:16.82\00:29:19.83
poor architecture
that the houses were
00:29:19.92\00:29:21.78
built so poorly. And of course,
00:29:21.88\00:29:25.19
you can't lay that at
the finger of the Lord.
00:29:25.68\00:29:28.44
The Bible says, I was
trying to find the text,
00:29:30.26\00:29:32.04
I didn't have time
or chance to do so.
00:29:32.16\00:29:33.41
When the disciples
asked the question to
00:29:33.91\00:29:35.96
Christ, an enemy
has done this, you know,
00:29:36.06\00:29:37.83
this is not God.
Danny says so often
00:29:37.98\00:29:41.60
that Satan comes
to kill and destroy.
00:29:41.87\00:29:43.37
That's not the work of God.
00:29:43.82\00:29:44.79
We call these things act of God.
00:29:45.17\00:29:46.74
Well nothing could
be worse, a worse myth,
00:29:46.85\00:29:49.05
not an act of God.
This is an act of the
00:29:49.46\00:29:50.83
enemy. This is
the act of someone who
00:29:50.91\00:29:53.21
hates God and all
that God stands for.
00:29:53.33\00:29:55.11
We are in a war,
we are in a battle and
00:29:55.58\00:29:58.29
the devil is
seeking whom he may destroy.
00:29:58.43\00:30:00.83
But praise God, the hand of,
00:30:01.16\00:30:03.03
the saving hand of
God is always there.
00:30:03.30\00:30:04.83
And with all
the stories of loss,
00:30:05.08\00:30:06.58
there are
concomitant stories of God's
00:30:06.81\00:30:09.13
hand reaching and
there was a lady who
00:30:09.19\00:30:10.84
was buried under a
building almost all
00:30:10.87\00:30:13.09
day yesterday,
and somehow she got
00:30:13.12\00:30:14.45
a cell phone call
to her husband who was
00:30:14.48\00:30:16.87
on the other side
of the country and
00:30:16.93\00:30:19.02
he ran there and he
had no help with his
00:30:19.05\00:30:20.83
bare hands he dug
his wife out and that's
00:30:20.97\00:30:23.88
cell phone call
shouldn't have gone through.
00:30:24.00\00:30:25.79
So with every
active devastation you can
00:30:26.09\00:30:28.16
see the loving
hand of God reaching
00:30:28.25\00:30:30.17
in and holding on to his people.
00:30:30.26\00:30:31.94
I saw a young
lady, 15 years old,
00:30:32.12\00:30:34.40
all you could see
was just her foot and
00:30:34.93\00:30:37.56
they kept trying
to get her and kept
00:30:37.62\00:30:39.40
working and finally
they did rescue this
00:30:39.53\00:30:42.57
young girl and she
was perfect, she was,
00:30:42.62\00:30:45.26
you know, she was trapped their,
00:30:45.79\00:30:47.04
couldn't get out
until they got all the
00:30:47.19\00:30:49.24
rubble off of
her. Took them 12 hours
00:30:49.27\00:30:52.31
or more to do so
but there are people
00:30:52.34\00:30:55.27
like that, that
they were trying to save
00:30:55.35\00:30:57.35
even still to this
point. We need to keep
00:30:57.41\00:31:00.19
those people in
prayer that they are
00:31:00.22\00:31:02.21
be able to hold out
until those rescuers
00:31:02.29\00:31:04.49
can actually. There
is still be rescuing
00:31:04.92\00:31:07.61
stories. Yeah.
You know, there still
00:31:07.75\00:31:09.67
will be, they were in Katrina,
00:31:09.80\00:31:11.00
there was with
Nargis, there was with
00:31:11.36\00:31:13.79
Tsunami. You
know, there is another
00:31:14.27\00:31:16.61
religious aspect to
this that I think we
00:31:19.08\00:31:20.80
need to be very
aware of it and cognizant
00:31:20.99\00:31:24.66
of. That is not
only should we not blame
00:31:24.84\00:31:27.70
God for bad things,
but we shouldn't blame
00:31:27.78\00:31:30.85
innocent people for bad things.
00:31:30.90\00:31:32.87
When I hear
people saying you know
00:31:33.71\00:31:35.00
maybe the Haitian
people brought this on
00:31:35.13\00:31:37.09
themselves.
Shame on thinking that
00:31:37.18\00:31:40.17
vulnerable poor
people that children
00:31:40.28\00:31:44.24
you know are to
blame for what happened
00:31:44.95\00:31:47.11
to them and there
is a form of hubris in
00:31:47.22\00:31:49.18
that. Yes, yes.
That is very spiritually
00:31:49.33\00:31:51.18
deceptive. You
know to think that other
00:31:51.27\00:31:53.52
people have bad
things happen to them
00:31:53.61\00:31:55.61
and that
because good things have
00:31:56.10\00:31:57.69
happened to me. That I am good.
00:31:57.76\00:31:59.47
That I am good.
We are brothers and
00:31:59.52\00:32:02.16
sisters and so.
Well, I've noticed that
00:32:02.29\00:32:05.83
everyone of us
sitting here tonight
00:32:06.05\00:32:07.44
have probably
more wrinkles and look
00:32:07.59\00:32:09.13
older than we did 15 years ago.
00:32:09.43\00:32:10.92
So things have
happened to us too,
00:32:11.31\00:32:13.17
in other words it's
not how good you are,
00:32:13.20\00:32:15.04
that's a man
that is born to woman
00:32:15.51\00:32:17.23
is few days and
full of trouble he come
00:32:17.26\00:32:18.92
forth like a
flower and he has cut low
00:32:18.99\00:32:20.65
and free of all
sources, shadow on continue
00:32:20.68\00:32:23.21
not to the heavens been a more.
00:32:23.36\00:32:24.65
All that said,
that's life and the loss or
00:32:24.99\00:32:28.02
cause and affect is
that man's rebellion
00:32:28.09\00:32:30.45
against God in the
Garden of Eden with Adam
00:32:30.78\00:32:32.67
and Eve and now
we are paying the
00:32:32.70\00:32:34.39
consequences and it
all it says to us as
00:32:34.42\00:32:37.29
we need a creator
God for the restoration
00:32:37.32\00:32:39.69
to restore us to
that perfection that
00:32:39.72\00:32:42.29
he created us to be.
But meanwhile sinners
00:32:42.39\00:32:45.64
are allowed to run
ramped for us all to see
00:32:45.67\00:32:49.23
that without God
there is no life.
00:32:49.26\00:32:51.38
There is no hope,
its only devastation,
00:32:51.45\00:32:53.03
so we can't blame
these innocent people
00:32:53.09\00:32:55.06
here or there, the human race.
00:32:55.09\00:32:56.39
We need to take
the blame in general,
00:32:56.49\00:32:59.16
but what we do about it now.
00:33:00.07\00:33:01.20
God has set us in a position.
00:33:01.29\00:33:02.77
Can you imagine
having a organization that
00:33:03.01\00:33:05.78
could reach the
world and ignoring this
00:33:05.91\00:33:09.07
because we want to
talk about some law
00:33:09.20\00:33:10.82
or something that
we believe or some
00:33:10.85\00:33:12.26
doctrine that's
all great, and we want
00:33:12.29\00:33:14.30
to do all that. But
right now the greatest law,
00:33:14.38\00:33:15.35
the greatest
doctrine is love those that
00:33:16.81\00:33:19.76
can't take care of
themselves, take care
00:33:19.79\00:33:21.74
of people who can't
take care of themselves.
00:33:21.77\00:33:23.49
So the greatest thing we can do,
00:33:23.52\00:33:25.38
the priority is to
take this type of a tool,
00:33:25.41\00:33:28.16
communications
tool gentleman and give
00:33:28.45\00:33:31.01
this message to the
world. Working with people,
00:33:31.05\00:33:33.74
see 3ABN can't be
everything to all people.
00:33:33.83\00:33:36.28
The church itself
can't be all things to all
00:33:36.47\00:33:38.62
people. ADRA
can't be, but look as we
00:33:38.72\00:33:40.93
were working you seen
the Division Presidents
00:33:40.99\00:33:43.29
here you've seen
ADRA, you see 3ABN and
00:33:43.32\00:33:46.30
as we joined
together it's incredible
00:33:46.42\00:33:48.75
what could happen.
That's right, yeah,
00:33:48.79\00:33:49.81
absolutely. And
so, that's why we want
00:33:49.88\00:33:51.55
to keep and I've
never. I've always one
00:33:51.58\00:33:53.98
thing when I
watch, one of the reason
00:33:54.09\00:33:55.76
I started and
felt the Lord impressed
00:33:55.80\00:33:57.62
me as I used to be
on a lot of challenge
00:33:57.65\00:33:59.92
where there
always go to the phone
00:33:59.95\00:34:01.24
little grandma we
need your $5 but it
00:34:01.31\00:34:03.39
wasn't for
people who are dying and
00:34:03.54\00:34:05.52
hurting people
devastated without homes
00:34:05.61\00:34:08.11
and sometimes
they may have done that
00:34:08.14\00:34:09.44
of course but I am
saying and so I don't
00:34:09.47\00:34:11.80
want to put on anybody else.
00:34:11.83\00:34:12.94
But tonight is not
that way this is yes,
00:34:13.00\00:34:15.41
go to your phones as
a Holy Spirit impresses
00:34:15.56\00:34:18.03
you give and so
the numbers up there,
00:34:18.28\00:34:20.00
the phone numbers
will keep that it up.
00:34:20.09\00:34:21.69
The ADRA.org is
up there so you do as
00:34:21.89\00:34:24.54
a Holy Spirit
impresses and I would love
00:34:24.57\00:34:26.36
to be able to
say Chuck we not only
00:34:26.39\00:34:29.08
raise finished
at million dollars,
00:34:29.11\00:34:30.66
you had 300 some thousand we did
00:34:30.69\00:34:32.64
have but we did
more because the people
00:34:32.72\00:34:35.00
of 3ABN viewers
have always done more
00:34:35.05\00:34:37.25
than what we ever
thought they could do.
00:34:37.29\00:34:39.33
Amen. Amen. That's wonderful,
00:34:39.79\00:34:40.76
that's wonderful.
Someone was asking
00:34:40.77\00:34:42.32
a question here,
yes, besides saying
00:34:42.36\00:34:44.58
they are sending
$300 to 1-800-424-ADRA.
00:34:44.70\00:34:48.67
Right. They asked
wouldn't be nice if
00:34:49.56\00:34:51.93
Adventist get
some recognition in the
00:34:52.04\00:34:53.55
world news and that's
a really good question.
00:34:53.70\00:34:57.64
And let me make
two kinds of responses
00:34:58.16\00:34:59.79
to it. One is, first
of all we do this ministry
00:34:59.82\00:35:03.46
not to get
recognition because people are
00:35:03.59\00:35:06.14
hurting, yeah. It
is nice when we do get
00:35:06.17\00:35:08.93
recognition
because that actually helps
00:35:09.09\00:35:11.56
to make us more
effective and enlarges
00:35:11.61\00:35:14.00
the embrace of
people who support us.
00:35:14.03\00:35:15.98
But we do this
ministry because it's
00:35:16.24\00:35:17.99
the right thing to
do, but we do get lots
00:35:18.03\00:35:20.74
of recognition. I've
had meetings with the
00:35:20.77\00:35:22.93
Secretary General
of the United Nations.
00:35:23.09\00:35:25.03
We are on some of the websites.
00:35:25.35\00:35:27.19
We are in some of
the web streams or
00:35:27.22\00:35:29.05
some of the
newspapers and the media.
00:35:29.14\00:35:30.96
There are places in
the world in which ADRA
00:35:32.31\00:35:35.21
is the face of
humanitarian compassion.
00:35:35.70\00:35:39.20
We offer the
religious community,
00:35:39.68\00:35:41.50
and so we are
well-known. In fact,
00:35:41.69\00:35:43.25
in the United
States is one of our
00:35:43.28\00:35:45.89
secret places and
so thank you 3ABN for
00:35:46.02\00:35:48.82
kind of opening
up ADRA's world not
00:35:48.93\00:35:52.39
just globally
because I know you have
00:35:52.47\00:35:53.72
a global footprint
and the global reach.
00:35:53.75\00:35:55.68
You know, but
especially here in the
00:35:55.98\00:35:57.37
United States.
Here we have a real nice
00:35:57.52\00:35:59.93
letter here,
well share this one.
00:35:59.96\00:36:01.51
This is from Josh,
she says, I said wanted
00:36:01.56\00:36:03.69
to say to Mr.
Sandifer, that I am very
00:36:03.72\00:36:06.26
heartened by this
program and we will
00:36:06.35\00:36:08.58
continue to collect
and encourage people
00:36:08.71\00:36:10.71
to give money
for support of Haiti.
00:36:11.01\00:36:12.96
Thank you. Yeah. Thank you.
00:36:13.35\00:36:14.67
Thank you Josh.
And when you give
00:36:14.86\00:36:16.11
tonight you are
not giving to ADRA.
00:36:16.28\00:36:19.49
You are not
giving to the four of us.
00:36:19.86\00:36:22.19
You are giving to
Haiti. That's right.
00:36:22.58\00:36:24.58
ADRA is just an
instrument of God's
00:36:24.61\00:36:26.67
compassion and
just as ingress in this
00:36:26.78\00:36:29.10
with us. Praise
God. You know, ADRA
00:36:29.16\00:36:30.32
does have a good reputation.
00:36:30.43\00:36:32.83
When I went over
to Uganda few months
00:36:32.92\00:36:35.73
ago to work you
know at our radio station
00:36:35.78\00:36:38.84
there. My hotel
rates were negotiated by
00:36:38.87\00:36:42.43
ADRA and a guy
thought I was an ADRA
00:36:42.59\00:36:45.09
representative
and man they were,
00:36:45.12\00:36:47.33
they treated me like a king.
00:36:47.57\00:36:48.74
So you have to
get that. I am not
00:36:48.77\00:36:49.84
happy to hear about that.
00:36:49.94\00:36:50.91
When I am on
3ABN, we had laughter
00:36:50.92\00:36:52.20
after coming.
When they thought I was
00:36:52.44\00:36:53.87
ADRA guy they
were, because they know
00:36:53.91\00:36:56.13
the ADRA in that
country and ADRA is
00:36:56.17\00:36:58.05
doing great work
in Uganda, so they cut
00:36:58.08\00:37:00.20
their rates in
half because ADRA made
00:37:00.23\00:37:02.32
one phone call and
is it all your if you
00:37:02.45\00:37:04.32
are connect with
ADRA Adventist Church
00:37:04.35\00:37:05.76
we are ready to
go. I traveled a lot
00:37:05.95\00:37:07.22
under fake ADRA
representative too.
00:37:07.47\00:37:09.76
You know, listen I
should have brought
00:37:09.82\00:37:10.92
more caps, I
should have brought more
00:37:11.10\00:37:12.61
caps with ADRA. That's right,
00:37:12.74\00:37:14.23
that's right. Well,
listen this is heartening
00:37:14.39\00:37:17.68
as Danny has said
over and over again
00:37:18.55\00:37:20.37
you can be a part of this.
00:37:20.95\00:37:22.16
And right now you can go to that
00:37:22.72\00:37:24.32
telephone and
call or if you are a
00:37:24.40\00:37:26.52
computer literate,
just go on ADRA.org
00:37:26.56\00:37:31.66
and Haiti comes
up and you can make
00:37:32.12\00:37:36.37
your donation right
there on the computer.
00:37:36.40\00:37:38.08
And in the worse
case and this has
00:37:38.11\00:37:39.61
happened many
times on every disaster,
00:37:39.73\00:37:41.67
some reason
people who are like me
00:37:41.84\00:37:43.67
they don't have a
pencil or lot of folk
00:37:43.78\00:37:45.84
don't work with
computers. If for any
00:37:46.11\00:37:49.49
reason that you need to,
00:37:49.58\00:37:51.04
you can call us
later to get it or even
00:37:51.19\00:37:54.32
if you make a check to 3ABN,
00:37:54.41\00:37:56.09
some folks they
will give it to 3ABN,
00:37:56.23\00:37:58.09
if you put Haiti
every penny will go
00:37:58.12\00:38:00.48
to the Haitians. So
if you want to write
00:38:00.96\00:38:02.55
to 3ABN put Haiti
for whatever reasons
00:38:02.65\00:38:05.31
we are
encouraging you to do it all
00:38:05.34\00:38:06.75
through ADRA but
if for some reason you
00:38:06.85\00:38:08.88
feel more
comfortable or don't know
00:38:08.94\00:38:10.30
what to do and
you are used to giving
00:38:10.49\00:38:12.21
if you put Haiti
on your check 3ABN
00:38:12.51\00:38:14.64
then every penny will go there.
00:38:14.69\00:38:16.15
You know, we hear about so much
00:38:17.22\00:38:19.38
disaster but it's
so nice to know that
00:38:19.49\00:38:20.92
God is still in
the saving and keeping
00:38:21.05\00:38:22.73
business. The
orphanage that 3ABN staffers
00:38:22.82\00:38:28.91
work with 2
years ago when we went
00:38:28.95\00:38:30.31
there we got word
today that it's intact
00:38:30.40\00:38:33.82
very little
damage there, of course,
00:38:34.15\00:38:35.41
without
electricity because most of the
00:38:35.44\00:38:37.01
island is. But
it's intact and we also
00:38:37.10\00:38:40.83
got word little bit
regards on the phone
00:38:41.02\00:38:42.33
that one of the
Adventist orphanages
00:38:42.39\00:38:44.74
actually did
pretty well as far as no
00:38:45.01\00:38:47.28
loss of life and
structure fairly well intact.
00:38:47.38\00:38:50.36
So even though this
is a horrific thing,
00:38:50.60\00:38:52.96
God is still
showing his saving hand.
00:38:53.44\00:38:55.20
He is still Jehovah
Jireh, he is still Jehovah
00:38:55.24\00:38:57.69
Rapha and we are
so thankful for that.
00:38:57.76\00:38:59.19
Have you heard
anything about the
00:38:59.22\00:39:00.19
little hospital
that we set up there 3ABN
00:39:00.20\00:39:03.34
and the group
from. Yeah, that hospital
00:39:03.45\00:39:05.89
actually is part of
that orphanage facility,
00:39:05.96\00:39:08.53
though they are in
there but they serve
00:39:09.16\00:39:10.90
the public and they
are still they are so
00:39:10.95\00:39:12.77
doing, they are okay. Very good.
00:39:12.81\00:39:14.15
Yeah, one of the
impacts of that is
00:39:14.18\00:39:17.28
that its not as
if the earthquake
00:39:17.31\00:39:19.20
devastated the
entire country of Haiti,
00:39:19.68\00:39:22.50
you know, some
parts of Haiti were
00:39:23.43\00:39:24.96
relatively unaffected
and one of our callings
00:39:25.09\00:39:28.69
is to move
resources inside of Haiti
00:39:29.48\00:39:31.87
and I will come
back again that there are
00:39:32.44\00:39:35.67
thousands of
people who need jobs and
00:39:35.95\00:39:38.38
are want to
volunteer, want to work,
00:39:38.48\00:39:40.55
and want to earn
an honest living.
00:39:41.48\00:39:42.48
And so there is tremendous human
00:39:42.97\00:39:44.55
resources in Haiti.
We need the funds to
00:39:44.64\00:39:47.37
be able to make
those resources work.
00:39:47.42\00:39:49.66
There is food in parts of Haiti.
00:39:49.96\00:39:51.40
Yes, yes.
Urbanization which has impacted
00:39:51.47\00:39:56.32
Haiti and people
ask me are there more
00:39:56.43\00:39:58.70
disasters now than
in the past and the
00:40:00.25\00:40:02.68
answer is the impact of natural
00:40:02.77\00:40:05.64
disasters were
so frequently around
00:40:05.72\00:40:07.60
coastal areas,
you know, Tsunamis,
00:40:07.63\00:40:09.84
Hurricanes, don't
have hurricanes here.
00:40:10.46\00:40:14.65
Not often. Yeah,
I was going to say,
00:40:14.77\00:40:16.83
tornadoes
maybe. Yeah, tornadoes.
00:40:17.01\00:40:18.68
But urbanization
and people hugging the
00:40:19.27\00:40:21.31
coastal areas has
increased the impact.
00:40:21.40\00:40:23.96
You know, that
has had but there are
00:40:24.68\00:40:26.56
parts of Haiti that
have been relatively
00:40:26.60\00:40:29.60
untouched and for
that we praise God
00:40:29.63\00:40:31.44
and we are happy
but that allows us
00:40:31.97\00:40:34.19
to the one of our
assignments is to move
00:40:34.26\00:40:36.76
people inside the
Haitian world so that
00:40:36.79\00:40:41.94
this does not
create dependency from the
00:40:42.02\00:40:43.86
outside. We want
people to be empowered
00:40:44.13\00:40:46.51
and have the
capacity to build their lives,
00:40:46.54\00:40:49.47
and sure it
makes us feel good when
00:40:50.86\00:40:52.31
people are
dependent upon us but it
00:40:52.35\00:40:54.23
isn't as good.
And so one of our key
00:40:54.39\00:40:57.32
once we get out of
this immediate phase
00:40:57.63\00:40:59.76
you know of
rescuing people of temporary
00:41:00.40\00:41:03.67
shelter and feeding
programs is to build
00:41:03.70\00:41:06.32
the capacity of
people to live sustainable
00:41:06.35\00:41:09.04
lives. And that
will be our goal, so we
00:41:09.10\00:41:13.30
will be teaching
people how to have jobs,
00:41:13.33\00:41:15.29
how to develop
their own economic life,
00:41:15.43\00:41:18.24
getting schools
rebuild. We will be working
00:41:20.11\00:41:22.84
on long-term
renovation and rehabilitation
00:41:22.87\00:41:25.78
programs that will
help to rebuilt the
00:41:25.88\00:41:28.56
community in
Haiti. So when you give
00:41:28.59\00:41:31.31
tonight we will
use your funding soon,
00:41:31.43\00:41:34.89
but we will
elongate some of it so that
00:41:35.47\00:41:38.39
we can make a
long-term impact on the
00:41:38.48\00:41:41.72
people of Haiti.
Well, yeah, that's exciting.
00:41:41.79\00:41:44.65
It's so
important to keep, you know
00:41:44.68\00:41:46.16
that structure
that is gonna continue
00:41:46.19\00:41:48.90
and the people
can catch the vision.
00:41:48.93\00:41:50.94
You are there
and you're gonna stay
00:41:51.34\00:41:52.61
there. We went to
Russia years ago in
00:41:52.66\00:41:54.64
92 and it first
opened up and some other
00:41:54.73\00:41:57.22
organizations
came and they had huge
00:41:57.31\00:41:59.44
amounts of crowds
just like we did with
00:41:59.47\00:42:01.31
Elder Carter. We
baptized 2500 the
00:42:01.34\00:42:03.86
first time. There
were other organizations
00:42:03.89\00:42:06.05
coming in from
different churches,
00:42:06.08\00:42:07.48
they baptized
3000, 5000, 10,000 stayed
00:42:07.57\00:42:11.07
for 3 weeks and
left. Then within weeks
00:42:11.12\00:42:15.28
these people had nowhere to go.
00:42:15.35\00:42:16.84
They didn't know what to do,
00:42:16.88\00:42:17.88
they have been
baptized into what and
00:42:17.96\00:42:20.12
they told them
that Jesus was the
00:42:20.39\00:42:21.60
answered where everybody left.
00:42:21.63\00:42:22.95
So we built a
structure there and began
00:42:23.33\00:42:25.54
to built more and
raised money for churches
00:42:25.63\00:42:27.38
and more and when
we went back a year
00:42:27.41\00:42:30.42
later when the
church looked at they said
00:42:30.55\00:42:32.57
over 80 percent and
all your people that
00:42:32.78\00:42:35.48
you know,
thousands were still there
00:42:35.59\00:42:38.03
because you have
in place something
00:42:38.06\00:42:40.27
to nurture them and
to take care of them,
00:42:40.30\00:42:41.44
that's what you
do and that you are
00:42:41.49\00:42:43.53
there. You are not
just gonna come and go.
00:42:43.58\00:42:45.45
You are gonna be
there long after most
00:42:45.87\00:42:48.26
people have gone.
And that's the reason
00:42:48.29\00:42:50.09
we are called a
development and relief
00:42:50.12\00:42:52.63
agency. That's
right. Relief refers to the
00:42:52.93\00:42:56.00
short-term
immediate, emergency response,
00:42:56.09\00:42:58.94
and that's what
we are doing tonight.
00:42:58.97\00:43:00.17
That's what we will
be doing for the next,
00:43:00.28\00:43:01.96
you know, quite a
few weeks but as we
00:43:02.12\00:43:05.48
move from relief
towards development
00:43:05.54\00:43:09.25
that process
speaks to the name of why
00:43:10.03\00:43:12.96
ADRA is intentionally
called a development
00:43:13.10\00:43:15.55
and relief agency.
It is true that relief
00:43:15.82\00:43:19.64
is what creates so
much of the public story.
00:43:20.17\00:43:23.56
You know, it's
hard to have headlines
00:43:24.32\00:43:26.04
saying 25,000
children stay in school,
00:43:26.17\00:43:29.54
but that's a
wonderful story, but it
00:43:31.84\00:43:33.66
doesn't make
headlines. But ADRA is
00:43:33.74\00:43:36.01
involved in that
too, literacy program,
00:43:36.08\00:43:37.97
sanitation programs,
maternal care programs,
00:43:38.02\00:43:40.99
food security
programs and by the way
00:43:41.02\00:43:43.44
our food security
programs are not just
00:43:43.47\00:43:45.58
feeding people,
it is teaching you
00:43:45.62\00:43:47.47
agricultural
techniques, it's teaching
00:43:47.50\00:43:49.69
farmers how to be
able to take their
00:43:49.75\00:43:51.87
harvest to
market, so they are not
00:43:52.02\00:43:53.39
just feeding their
families but creating
00:43:53.52\00:43:55.31
income and all of
that is food security.
00:43:55.39\00:43:58.63
And that's the
development part of
00:43:58.74\00:44:00.89
ADRA, so it's a
long story but I love it.
00:44:00.92\00:44:05.95
Alright, and I would
say I've known Charles
00:44:06.15\00:44:09.06
for a long time,
long enough to call
00:44:09.09\00:44:10.88
him Chuck, and I
would tell you that
00:44:10.91\00:44:14.96
from the moment
that he took this
00:44:15.10\00:44:17.11
assignment at ADRA we saw the
00:44:17.92\00:44:20.46
excitement and it
has never diminished
00:44:20.50\00:44:22.54
not even for a
second. Now right now
00:44:23.24\00:44:25.47
you've got some of
your people on the phone.
00:44:25.50\00:44:27.35
John is on the
phone and he has a group
00:44:28.08\00:44:30.40
of people with him and John,
00:44:30.51\00:44:32.80
can you hear us, alright.
00:44:33.01\00:44:34.30
Yes, I can hear
you fine. Alright,
00:44:36.08\00:44:38.00
you may wanna
especially talk to the
00:44:38.04\00:44:40.69
Chuck here. He has
been telling us about
00:44:40.78\00:44:43.42
how you follows
on your way there,
00:44:43.58\00:44:46.41
how long have you
been in the location?
00:44:46.73\00:44:48.56
We are right here
in Santo Domingo about
00:44:50.96\00:44:53.35
45 minutes ago,
and we are going to be
00:44:53.63\00:44:56.71
preparing and
staging our efforts from
00:44:56.89\00:44:59.43
here. Haiti is very
unsecured at this point,
00:44:59.47\00:45:02.43
and we are
trying to, once we hold
00:45:02.46\00:45:04.71
meeting our convoy and the teams
00:45:04.83\00:45:07.05
together from
Santo Domingo and we
00:45:07.08\00:45:08.70
will be departing
early morning tomorrow.
00:45:08.73\00:45:10.60
How many
vehicles will be in your
00:45:13.40\00:45:15.31
caravan in your
convoy? At this moment
00:45:15.39\00:45:19.78
I believe there will
be two vehicles and a
00:45:19.95\00:45:23.47
bus but that's still
needs to be determined.
00:45:23.53\00:45:26.83
John can you tell
us who is with you and
00:45:29.41\00:45:31.44
what their
specific assignments are?
00:45:31.58\00:45:33.27
Yes, I have some
members here with
00:45:35.89\00:45:37.85
me from Haiti
International and Ramie
00:45:37.88\00:45:40.49
Shelling, who is
part of our Emergency
00:45:40.61\00:45:42.44
Management
Bureau. Also joining us
00:45:42.51\00:45:45.16
is Plinio, he is
the Country Director for
00:45:45.34\00:45:50.17
ADRA in Nicaragua.
I have Matt Herzel,
00:45:51.37\00:45:55.09
he is part of our
marketing development
00:45:55.49\00:45:57.64
team and also Rick
Jaqua who is also part
00:45:57.77\00:46:00.96
of the Emergency
Management Bureau.
00:46:01.00\00:46:02.51
As you can see
colleagues listening to
00:46:04.78\00:46:06.78
John introduce these people.
00:46:06.81\00:46:08.42
This is a very
complicated world, yes.
00:46:09.52\00:46:11.61
You know, food
just does not appear,
00:46:11.67\00:46:13.27
tents don't just
appear, a clean water
00:46:13.49\00:46:15.47
don't just appear,
yeah, and so needing
00:46:15.64\00:46:19.82
teams with
professional technical expertise
00:46:19.91\00:46:22.44
to right
proposals, to design feeding
00:46:22.47\00:46:24.86
programs, to work on providing,
00:46:24.92\00:46:27.21
doing needs
assessment. And so we've got
00:46:27.30\00:46:30.24
a team and that
total group has was
00:46:30.27\00:46:32.56
explained to us
earlier by Pastor Willington
00:46:32.65\00:46:35.08
has some 10 to
12 people in total.
00:46:36.26\00:46:38.00
Well, so you
will be heading into
00:46:40.70\00:46:42.57
Haiti tomorrow,
are you going right
00:46:43.47\00:46:44.84
into Port-au-Prince.
We are gonna make
00:46:44.89\00:46:48.05
our way there
from what I understand
00:46:48.08\00:46:50.16
the access can
be a little rough to
00:46:50.65\00:46:52.54
get from where
we are to where we
00:46:52.67\00:46:54.65
want to be. But we
are moving ahead as
00:46:54.78\00:46:57.32
we like to call
where the chip of the
00:46:57.72\00:46:59.97
soft spear as we
are going in for ADRA.
00:47:00.07\00:47:03.56
I think it's wise
that you are taking a bus
00:47:05.75\00:47:07.99
because you are
able to put a lot of
00:47:08.11\00:47:10.17
individuals on
there. There is the safety,
00:47:10.32\00:47:12.43
there is group
being together plus you
00:47:12.57\00:47:14.71
don't have to buy
fuel for a whole lot
00:47:14.75\00:47:17.19
of different
vehicles by keeping a number
00:47:17.22\00:47:20.04
of vehicles down I
am sure fuel is gonna
00:47:20.15\00:47:23.12
be very difficult
for you to secure in
00:47:23.15\00:47:25.88
that part of the world
at this particular time.
00:47:25.91\00:47:28.26
Yes, that's very
true. So your plan is good.
00:47:28.29\00:47:30.83
So having the plan, is
glad, and doing for Iowa.
00:47:30.86\00:47:35.90
Recently in the
past, [Audio Not Clear].
00:47:35.93\00:47:45.08
Now, John we are
not hearing that.
00:47:45.26\00:47:46.86
Okay, I am
loosing you. Well, we can
00:47:49.55\00:47:53.04
hearing you
alright John, but there is
00:47:53.28\00:47:54.58
someone else
speaking that we won't
00:47:54.63\00:47:56.26
able to hear that
well. Okay, as you can
00:47:56.29\00:48:01.82
see things are
happening fast and furious
00:48:01.87\00:48:03.45
here, and we are
trying to plan things as
00:48:03.53\00:48:05.36
we go along, as we
get this meeting every
00:48:05.53\00:48:07.95
moment is precious
and we are trying to
00:48:08.02\00:48:09.75
do everything we
can to be as efficient
00:48:09.82\00:48:11.64
as possible. As
we sit here we are on
00:48:11.68\00:48:14.28
our way driving a
vehicle together and
00:48:14.32\00:48:16.30
there is a lot of
conversation that's
00:48:16.90\00:48:18.26
happening regarding
sort of logistics that
00:48:18.31\00:48:20.11
need to be all taken
care by tomorrow morning.
00:48:20.20\00:48:22.72
The personal that
needs to put in place.
00:48:23.38\00:48:25.27
So we are trying to take
advantage of every second.
00:48:26.08\00:48:28.57
I will tell you to do ADRA work.
00:48:29.76\00:48:31.69
You have to
flexible and adaptable and
00:48:31.85\00:48:34.13
very agile. And John
is one of those people
00:48:34.22\00:48:38.53
and our colleagues
from several different
00:48:38.88\00:48:40.88
countries in ADRA's
world are very agile
00:48:40.91\00:48:44.51
people. I am
personally very concerned about
00:48:44.66\00:48:48.04
the safety and the
protection of our staff.
00:48:48.07\00:48:49.97
Oh, yes. They are
very vulnerable when
00:48:50.13\00:48:52.28
they are traveling.
Oh, yes. And many of
00:48:52.31\00:48:56.03
my colleagues and in
fact, I will say this
00:48:56.13\00:49:01.18
now twenty of my
ADRA colleagues have
00:49:01.40\00:49:04.71
been killed or
have died since I have
00:49:04.75\00:49:07.53
joined ADRA's
family in the last 7 years.
00:49:07.67\00:49:11.04
One of them just
recently in the Congo.
00:49:11.41\00:49:14.42
This is a dangerous
world and emergencies
00:49:15.36\00:49:17.80
create even greater
danger and we pray for
00:49:17.94\00:49:20.12
the protection
of our staff, right.
00:49:20.16\00:49:22.06
They will be safe as
they are very vulnerable
00:49:23.06\00:49:26.69
that's the reason they
are traveling together,
00:49:26.81\00:49:28.24
right. We have very
serious about security and
00:49:28.39\00:49:32.71
taking good precautions
and they are improvising
00:49:32.90\00:49:36.62
as they go along
that's all the sign of good
00:49:36.65\00:49:39.11
ADRA work. Yeah, it
is. Well, there is always
00:49:39.14\00:49:42.33
the thought by some
individuals that they
00:49:43.22\00:49:45.99
are carrying large
amounts of money and
00:49:46.02\00:49:48.40
because they are
coming to give aid
00:49:48.94\00:49:50.40
and so they do need
a lot of security and
00:49:50.76\00:49:54.43
they do need the
protection of the angels
00:49:54.54\00:49:56.40
and we're gonna be
praying for you John
00:49:56.43\00:49:58.63
and the entire
group that the Lord will
00:49:58.91\00:50:02.35
send special angels to
give you fellows safety
00:50:02.85\00:50:07.52
in your travel.
Well, thank you very much.
00:50:07.92\00:50:11.31
We all appreciate
that and we really
00:50:11.34\00:50:14.55
tributes those prayer
so thank you very much.
00:50:14.66\00:50:17.14
Thank you John
and you have got speed
00:50:18.25\00:50:22.93
stay safe and give
my greetings to our
00:50:23.14\00:50:25.65
colleagues. I
will, thank you Chuck.
00:50:25.71\00:50:29.01
I will talk to you tomorrow in
00:50:29.18\00:50:30.48
Port-au-Prince. Yes, sir.
00:50:30.67\00:50:33.39
Alright, good night
John. Well, it will be
00:50:33.43\00:50:38.05
exciting to be there with them,
00:50:38.11\00:50:39.22
I am the type of guy
that Danny is and so C.A.
00:50:39.68\00:50:42.37
and I guess you are too Chuck.
00:50:42.40\00:50:43.92
There is a part of
us that would love to
00:50:44.78\00:50:46.29
be there, yes. But
you know something folks
00:50:46.32\00:50:48.88
as a part you that
might want to be there
00:50:48.91\00:50:50.99
but you can be
there with the sacrificial
00:50:51.59\00:50:54.61
gift tonight,
amen. And as Danny has
00:50:54.64\00:50:57.83
said this is not a
time to just say well,
00:50:57.86\00:51:01.66
maybe some other
time this is the time
00:51:01.77\00:51:03.71
to do something and
to do a very special
00:51:03.74\00:51:06.39
response. And
let's just remind our
00:51:06.98\00:51:08.49
viewers that
ADRA is committed one
00:51:08.52\00:51:11.09
million dollars in
relief aid right now,
00:51:11.12\00:51:14.83
that's the
commitment we've made.
00:51:14.95\00:51:16.40
We've already gone a
long ways before this
00:51:16.52\00:51:19.02
evening and this
evening builds deep into
00:51:19.05\00:51:21.76
that journey. Thank
you again so much 3ABN,
00:51:21.83\00:51:25.11
but Haiti needs
this desperately and
00:51:26.49\00:51:28.84
knowing that we have
the one million dollars
00:51:28.92\00:51:30.86
in place, gives this
team that we just talk
00:51:30.89\00:51:33.51
to the ability to
design real ministries
00:51:33.54\00:51:36.30
in stead of wondering
what happens tomorrow,
00:51:36.33\00:51:38.45
well we have funding.
They will be designing
00:51:38.48\00:51:41.04
million dollar
responses, amen, because of
00:51:41.22\00:51:44.21
this level of
commitment of funding and
00:51:44.24\00:51:47.14
relief, and so those
dollars translate into
00:51:47.17\00:51:50.51
real care, real
compassion, real help,
00:51:50.61\00:51:53.22
real relief, so
right way and this will be
00:51:53.48\00:51:57.09
just great. Well,
listen now we've had
00:51:57.33\00:51:59.64
the phone number
up. We've had the site,
00:51:59.84\00:52:05.39
internet site
there but some of you may
00:52:05.99\00:52:09.05
just want to take
a pencil and write a
00:52:09.12\00:52:11.00
letter because we
get lot of letters here,
00:52:11.08\00:52:13.22
and so if that's
your response here
00:52:13.74\00:52:16.96
is how you can reach ADRA.
00:52:17.12\00:52:19.95

Your help is urgently needed.
00:53:03.31\00:53:05.21
Well listen Danny I
think you've caught the
00:53:07.94\00:53:10.59
essence tonight and
you made this challenge
00:53:10.64\00:53:13.88
somebody made a challenge
I think, you challenge.
00:53:14.24\00:53:16.43
I thought you
challenged me with a
00:53:16.85\00:53:18.83
thousand dollars
we said, okay, C.A.
00:53:18.94\00:53:21.23
then work it out
or he has given a
00:53:21.26\00:53:22.73
thousand but he is
getting to shell it.
00:53:22.77\00:53:24.33
I thought you
challenge me too him.
00:53:24.43\00:53:25.40
I did give you,
but not had though.
00:53:25.41\00:53:26.75
So who is on
first, who is on second?
00:53:26.78\00:53:28.11
Alright. Alright,
so did you accept that
00:53:28.14\00:53:30.02
thousand? I did.
Okay, alright, if you did
00:53:30.05\00:53:32.79
and C.A. you've
given a thousand but the
00:53:33.16\00:53:35.96
Shelton brothers
are gonna go do some
00:53:35.99\00:53:37.54
carpentry work for
you, yes, and so you
00:53:37.57\00:53:39.56
can give that to
this. And seriously I would
00:53:39.59\00:53:42.63
really be nice to
know those have if you
00:53:42.66\00:53:44.37
have been able to
give that thousand dollars
00:53:44.40\00:53:46.92
we appreciate all
the gifts but if you can
00:53:46.95\00:53:49.49
give a thousand
dollars let us know about it,
00:53:49.52\00:53:51.58
say, hey, we met
the challenge too.
00:53:51.61\00:53:53.42
Let him know
when you call ADRA I
00:53:53.45\00:53:54.65
heard about it on
3ABN, we want it not
00:53:54.69\00:53:57.22
everybody can do that of course,
00:53:57.25\00:53:58.63
but there is so
many way of potential
00:53:59.01\00:54:00.92
viewers and they
do what we are doing
00:54:01.07\00:54:02.98
and I am sure if
you are watching all the
00:54:03.01\00:54:04.54
other news channels
like all of us have done.
00:54:04.60\00:54:06.83
The devastation
this is just one of the
00:54:06.97\00:54:09.70
worst things in
fact, they are saying is
00:54:09.77\00:54:12.29
probably going to be
considered if not the
00:54:12.32\00:54:14.63
worst, one of the
worst earthquakes in history,
00:54:14.69\00:54:17.64
in history and it's that bad and
00:54:18.29\00:54:20.31
concentrated in
such a small area of the
00:54:20.55\00:54:22.87
whole planet and I
mean it's beyond words.
00:54:22.90\00:54:25.27
That's what we
can do as Christians.
00:54:25.58\00:54:27.40
This is what we
can do to show people
00:54:27.52\00:54:29.89
we love them not
just talk about it.
00:54:29.92\00:54:31.52
And I am so
thrilled that you the viewing
00:54:31.62\00:54:35.45
audience of 3ABN
always come through,
00:54:35.50\00:54:37.83
thank you. What
you do on behalf of God
00:54:37.92\00:54:40.68
many of you, you
can't get out anymore
00:54:40.71\00:54:43.02
lot of our folk they are older,
00:54:43.05\00:54:44.64
they are in
retirement centers and they
00:54:44.93\00:54:46.39
are in different
areas. Some of the folk
00:54:46.42\00:54:48.28
are just not able to
do it. We have people
00:54:48.31\00:54:50.49
that are
incarcerated who say well,
00:54:50.52\00:54:52.69
I can give a
little money. I can give
00:54:52.76\00:54:53.96
$10, $20, I can't
get out, I can't go there
00:54:54.16\00:54:57.55
and what you
heard Chuck saying is we
00:54:57.85\00:54:59.47
don't want you to
buy a plane ticket
00:54:59.50\00:55:01.29
and go to Haiti
right now, take the money
00:55:01.44\00:55:03.40
for the plane ticket,
donate it to ADRA they
00:55:03.46\00:55:06.13
can convert that to
cash to buy locally to
00:55:06.16\00:55:08.68
build the local
economy, use local people to do
00:55:08.72\00:55:11.92
the work and we can
stay out of there so
00:55:11.95\00:55:14.18
that they can
rebuild and so what you are
00:55:14.22\00:55:16.70
helping, what you are
giving now will go down
00:55:16.84\00:55:19.18
in the record books
of heaven as a great
00:55:19.21\00:55:22.00
cause on this
planet because we have a
00:55:22.11\00:55:23.97
chance as Christians
and I am saying Christians
00:55:24.02\00:55:26.87
that includes
because most of you watching
00:55:26.90\00:55:28.70
this or not,
Seventh-Day Adventist so this
00:55:28.73\00:55:30.73
has nothing to do
with Adventist people,
00:55:30.83\00:55:32.79
Adventist
anything. This has to do with
00:55:32.89\00:55:35.04
people who love
Jesus, Christian faith you
00:55:35.24\00:55:37.60
may not even be
the Christian faith.
00:55:37.70\00:55:39.17
I don't care what
you are for what ever
00:55:39.21\00:55:41.70
reasons, the compassionate,
00:55:41.86\00:55:43.83
your feeling you
can give through ADRA
00:55:43.91\00:55:46.36
and it's gonna go to everybody.
00:55:46.44\00:55:47.85
That's right.
Irrespective of persons,
00:55:47.88\00:55:49.53
where they need is
that's who is gonna
00:55:49.56\00:55:51.54
be help. I promise
you that I've known
00:55:51.59\00:55:53.76
this organization for long time,
00:55:53.79\00:55:55.41
so thank you for
your love, your prayers
00:55:55.44\00:55:57.88
and your support,
not only this network but
00:55:57.91\00:56:00.30
what we are
doing right now in this
00:56:00.33\00:56:01.75
critical time.
Time is important.
00:56:01.87\00:56:03.81
It's critical
right now. You know,
00:56:03.92\00:56:05.60
there is a program
called the firsts 48 hours
00:56:05.63\00:56:07.95
and I think we can
say that with this two,
00:56:08.13\00:56:10.03
first 48, first
whatever 64 first,
00:56:10.15\00:56:12.67
96 the first few days
is important that we be
00:56:13.00\00:56:16.03
there. There is a,
and thank you Danny.
00:56:16.08\00:56:18.72
There is a just
almost a terrible logic and
00:56:19.29\00:56:25.52
narrative to
these tragedies. We know
00:56:25.77\00:56:28.02
what's going to
happen in the next few days.
00:56:28.05\00:56:29.96
We know that
people are going to have

run out of all the
food they had in their
00:56:33.30\00:56:35.04
homes, so that
they have been able to
00:56:35.07\00:56:36.85
pull out of the
debris. We know that
00:56:36.88\00:56:40.38
hunger is going to
set in. We know that
00:56:40.41\00:56:42.56

00:56:42.60\00:56:45.18
you know instead of
