Springfield alright, 01:09 he will introduce himself. 01:10 Yes my name is Brian Irby. 01:13 And I'm a graduate of theology from 01:16 Oakwood University. Okay. And I think this 01:18 is just coming up on about six years being 01:21 in NAPS, alright, doing ministry and it's 01:24 just been wonderful doing the work of 01:26 God here, amen, upon our young people and 01:29 so, alright, happy to be here. 01:31 He is married and has a lovely wife, yes, 01:33 and they both on doing ministry together. 01:36 Yes, yes, actually this is the second year that 01:39 I've dedicated to, just to do a year of 01:42 missionary work, I did the third which is 01:45 the year of dedication and now I'm on this 01:49 one after I've graduated, it's the seventh one. 01:51 We'll be talking about some of the work 01:53 we've been doing, okay, alright. 01:54 And Marlo saying hi, hi. 02:01 Hi, my name is Joshua O'Balles and 02:04 I'm a fresh student at Oakwood University 02:07 I'm also with Brian on YOD 7 and I'm just 02:12 given the privilege of working in the Lord's 02:14 venued in. Okay where are you from? 02:16 Well I'm from Monrovia, California. 02:19 Alright, yeah but LA you know, okay, 02:22 this is a blessing to be able to be a part 02:24 people salvation and say everything that it 02:27 takes for people you know to 02:29 accept Christ in our lives. 02:30 You're soft man out, Oh! Yeah, I'm a soft 02:32 man, I was a freshman last year but I joined 02:36 YOD so I would technically being soft 02:38 more, right, yeah. And you finished 1 02:41 year school to university and now 02:43 you are in YOD, yes, which is Year Of the 02:45 Dedication to the Lord. To the Lord yeah, alright. 02:50 He is very unique young man you know 02:52 usually in NAPS we have people coming 02:54 in to get trained to God and do the work of God. 02:57 In my first encounter with this young man 03:00 he had a red rag from his back pocket 03:02 hanging, and what you call that mohawk 03:04 with tunnel hawk. Mohawk, mohawk in 03:06 his head and he was coming into the 03:08 NAPS van to go do ministry so I said 03:11 you need to be minister to this young man. 03:15 But little by little we were patient with him 03:17 and we saw changes in life and now he has 03:19 have some powerful testimony. 03:21 But there is something down in that heart that 03:23 drew him to NAPS, and I know what it is 03:25 and I usually want a young man comes 03:27 like that, we know that grandma or 03:30 granddad is praying, or aunty or uncle 03:32 you must remember they are praying for him. 03:35 So, pray for a young one, my mom, your mom? 03:38 Without the dad, yeah and you're there, 03:40 very thankful. Alright. And but there, it was 03:43 under there because otherwise you would 03:45 have been off doing something else that 03:48 going to NAPS. Well we're talking 03:50 about the Southern work Jim, yes, 03:51 and it's a work that Ellen G. White have 03:52 given this just several years ago and they had 03:57 been contention of who should do it 03:58 and why we should. I've been sitting here for 04:00 a while and we ran into that document some 04:03 years back, alright, and we said well Oakwood 04:06 is poised this area, in the southern area, sure, 04:09 maybe it's the rig, yeah, so NAPS has taken it 04:12 up, okay. And what has happened as a result of 04:15 that is that the people that we're meeting in 04:17 this, it is a where most of the ex-slaves remain, 04:22 alright, and farms and poverty and medical 04:25 situation there is just like for their own, 04:27 sometimes it's worst. And meeting this 04:31 people then working with them and 04:33 sometimes you have to check yourself whether 04:35 or not you are following that. 04:37 And so and the way they're responding to us 04:39 is what took you so long, yeah, the ministry 04:41 has been so used today. So to get into any work 04:44 as Ellen G White our prophetess has 04:46 informed us to use a medical work as Wedge. 04:48 Yes. And so Pastor Irby has been leading a team 04:52 I, 18, 19, yeah 19, and so we'd like to give a 04:58 report on how that has been going on, sure, 05:00 and to add to it, how the medical work been 05:04 working along with the evangelist work. 05:07 Well I say last summer, we really got a chance 05:11 to start this work and it was a new work even 05:14 for us we didn't really know what to expect 05:17 from it and as we went down we just said we're 05:20 just gonna show these people the love of God 05:23 and so we said well let's you know do education, 05:28 we wanted to really help out with the 05:29 education there, tutoring the kids as a 05:32 wedge along with the medical work just to 05:35 show them love and to lead them to Jesus Christ. 05:38 And as we were there at the beginning of that 05:41 summer we just said we're gonna start with 05:43 this and it came to about a couple of weeks 05:47 later in about two weeks the kids were 05:50 just wrapped around us and we said hey listen, 05:54 listen wide amount of church. 05:56 And in about two weeks we had about 50 young 05:59 people coming into the church learning about 06:01 the love of God and the doctrines of the church. 06:05 And from there the word just took off 06:09 throughout this year we have continued not only 06:11 to work in Mississippi but also in Alabama and 06:15 that's very underprivileged 06:17 places where the education systems 06:19 aren't that good. We've been able to go 06:21 in and be a presence there and 06:23 to show them love and. It just resulted in 06:28 we worship, and started worshiping with the 06:30 kids and even in Mississippi they're able 06:32 to have some of the young people even 06:34 joined the Seventh-Day Adventist church there. 06:36 Yeah. And its just been a tremendous blessing 06:40 and we keep saying, the people keep saying to 06:43 us what took you so long, amen, amen, 06:45 what took you so long. Yeah. And of course the 06:47 medical work we need to talk about the 06:49 miracles of the medical work. 06:50 Yes, God is so good and when he inspires 06:56 people with the word like Ellen G White I mean 06:59 we're able to see it really come to life and 07:02 along the black belt of Mississippi and 07:04 Alabama we're able not only to see the lack of 07:08 education but also the lack of medical care 07:12 and we would hear these stories and, 07:15 one lady said you know there was no ambulance 07:18 that's close by. She's like my mother was 07:20 dead for 45 minutes before the ambulance 07:22 even arrived to our house. And there's no clinic 07:25 close by and people have to take a ferry 07:29 across the river to go see this one doctor 07:32 who's swamped with patients they wait all day. 07:34 He tells them to come back tomorrow, 07:36 they've no place to stay, they don't have enough 07:38 money to take the ferry back and comeback the 07:40 next day, yeah, and so you know we're like 07:43 Lord you know these are your precious souls 07:46 you love them so can you help us to be able 07:48 to serve them the way they deserve to be 07:50 served and so we prayed and prayed and 07:53 we need it something like a medical mobile unit. 07:55 NAPS had no funds to get a medical mobile 07:58 unit but we just prayed and it was YOD 6 they 08:01 went out and just started raising money, 08:03 knocking on doors, doing church presentations 08:06 and it was one church in California that donated 08:09 the amount of money we needed, amen, to get 08:11 a medical mobile unit. Wow. And when we got 08:13 it, it didn't look this pretty because it was a 08:16 lot older but it was a miracle the price we're 08:19 able to get it at was a miracle and then when 08:22 we got it we had friends who were able to help 08:23 us, sand it down perfect painted, yeah, and then 08:26 we take that down south and we served the 08:28 people and it has an examine room, an exam 08:31 table, so they felt special, wow, you know 08:33 we treat them like there's special we give 08:36 them love and we pray with them and they're 08:38 so excited and they're so happy about you 08:41 know learning what they can do to lower 08:43 their blood pressure and to not to 08:46 have high blood sugar. They really want to 08:48 know, yeah, and so we are focusing on 08:50 preventive medicine education and I think a 08:54 lot of times in the health field we just give 08:57 people pills and the people down in the 09:00 south they don't want just pills, they want to 09:02 be informed and so we're able to do that 09:04 and its truly, truly been a blessing. 09:06 Yeah, wow, maybe you can give some more 09:08 testimonies and now I say it's phenomenal to 09:11 hear that depth of ignorance with these 09:13 people in terms, yeah, of their understanding 09:15 of their health and what you call cause 09:19 and effect, yes, right. Yes we've had a few 09:22 incidents where one lady she is only 24 09:25 years old, she had like four children and she's 09:28 diagnosed with breast cancer and her mom 09:31 died of breast cancer and her grandma died 09:34 of breast cancer. She didn't know that put 09:37 her at a high risk for it, so she never looked out 09:39 for, she had no insurance or anything, 09:43 other people they thought like drinking 09:46 grape juice could cause you to have high blood 09:50 pressure, things like that. They just weren't aware 09:54 of things, some people felt like, I forget what it 09:58 was, another lady she is a cook and when we 10:03 talked about you know how losing weight helps 10:05 with the high blood pressure and diabetes 10:07 and she was thinking someone told her she 10:09 said that by smelling the food it causes you to 10:13 gain the weight. And so we had to explain 10:16 that wasn't true you know. And with Brian's group 10:19 YOD 7 they actually started an exercise 10:22 program in the communities where 10:25 they would go out and they would walk with 10:27 them and teach them how to exercise. 10:29 They would exercise with them everyday and 10:31 it really motivated people. After that we saw 10:34 people out there exercising without 10:36 YOD you know. You know by their aside, 10:39 and so it really is making a big difference. 10:42 And its you know the young people taking a 10:45 year off from school Jim allows them to have 10:48 that great impact, yes. And also the schools 10:51 allow them. I think you should talk about 10:52 Sunshine High School what happened there. 10:55 Yes, yeah. Yeah well we were able to work in 10:58 Newbern, Alabama and this school called 11:01 Sunshine High School they call it that but it 11:03 has all the way from first grade to 12th grade 11:06 there, yeah, and we went there we told them 11:08 what we are trying to do in the community and 11:11 the principal just said, hey, we really need 11:13 you, we just want you to come in as soon as 11:16 possible, yeah. So we went into 11:17 the classrooms and we were able to help be 11:22 teachers assistance and to do the kids, some of 11:25 the teachers really just say hey, just take, 11:27 the class because they saw the love element 11:30 that went with it, yeah. And now that's where 11:33 we really have learned that would transform the kids. 11:36 You can teach them information and 11:37 knowledge but it was the love aspect and we 11:40 were able to transition from that to do our own 11:42 programs and that led to worships on Friday 11:45 night and that led you know to greater things 11:48 even some of the young people got a chance to 11:51 come to Oakwood University. 11:53 And even to this day when we talk to them 11:55 on the phone that's what they talk about 11:57 man how good you know, yeah, I wanna go 12:00 you know they're really inspired in all aspects of 12:04 their lives, right, it's great. 12:05 And Joshua had a fun time down there worked 12:09 with those kids, yeah, yeah. Well Brian was 12:12 talking this has brought back a lot of good 12:14 memories in the classroom and, I think 12:17 its funny how God worked it out because 12:20 you know a lot of teachers were fed up 12:22 with the kids. You know they were giving 12:23 them a hard time and they're really tough to 12:26 handle and when we came down there they 12:30 were just wanted to give up the whole 12:31 classroom, the whole day every schedule 12:34 seventh through ninth grade and into high 12:37 school and all remediation and its fun because 12:41 Dr. Paul always brings up you know when he 12:43 first met me you know when he first saw my 12:45 Mohawk and rag and his you know his whole 12:49 idea well I was, and he hit the nail and I was a, 12:54 I was kind of rebellious, yeah, well okay, I was 12:57 rebellious, I was wild and you know, 13:01 I could be a character sometimes but you 13:03 know the Lord really put me in a place that 13:05 I never thought I would be you know the school 13:07 wasn't my forte and ended up at Oakwood 13:11 was really blessing but getting to be in the 13:14 teacher's position you know and see like be on 13:17 the opposite end, you know like facing some 13:20 rebellious students like well you have to be in 13:22 this way and I'm like, I'm worse, I'm worse 13:25 than these kids. And like, it's like looking in 13:27 the mirror, yes, I was like all that, that's what 13:29 I look like. Yeah. But I really got to, I really 13:31 got to give them what I wish I got from my 13:35 teacher because I understood how it 13:37 felt to be a misunderstood, 13:38 rebellious you know, right, soon acting how 13:41 you know and I got to get down and like really 13:45 have a long suffering spirit that Christ have 13:47 for us you know when He came down to earth. 13:49 And I appreciated every moment of it, because 13:52 I made a lot of connections with the 13:54 kids and I think that when you can 13:56 understand someone you can minister to 13:58 them that much more you know. 14:00 And I've, I made so many memories down 14:05 there and so many connections that as long 14:09 as I live I'll never be able 14:10 to forget them, right. And all those students 14:13 that I was able to teach they really taught me 14:15 more than I could ever teach them. 14:16 I taught them Math and English they taught me 14:19 the joy of seeing sinner saved and I'll never 14:23 forget that. What about your little cousin that 14:25 you have. Well there's a lot of, a lot of people in 14:32 NAPS say that I talk about my cousin, 14:37 my nephew a lot because he's really 14:39 dear to my heart and I mention him often 14:43 when I get into my room seeing you know 14:46 maybe like a juvenile delinquent you know 14:50 and some one who got JDC's and, JDC? 14:54 Juvenile Detention Center, yeah, you know 14:57 it always happens like someone who reminds 14:59 of them, and one time we're doing health fair 15:03 in Mississippi, Hernando, Mississippi and it was 15:07 so divine, there was this kid and he was looking, 15:12 he was trying to find the Sabbath school program 15:15 that we have for the children every Sabbath 15:17 there, and he missed it just by like a couple of 15:20 minutes and he was wandering the street 15:22 sidewalk and the health fair was right across the 15:25 street from the church and he was wandering 15:29 and he caught my eye cause something, 15:31 something reminded and this is, this is 15:33 appearance reminded my nephew at that age 15:36 and I said come, come away what are you 15:37 looking for and he said oh I was looking for the 15:40 children's program and I said oh you missed it, 15:43 Oh! Okay I'll go home then you know my 15:46 mom's probably worried, I said no, 15:48 you can stay here, you know like I could show 15:50 you which you are missed. And so I basically got 15:54 the opportunity to do the Bible study and the 15:55 review of everything that the kids had 15:58 learned during that Sabbath program and 16:01 it was so divine it felt like I was in heaven, 16:06 you know, heaven on earth, for me at least, 16:07 yeah, because here I'm getting to speak to this 16:13 kid that looks exactly like my nephew, 16:15 someone that's closer to me than anyone you 16:17 know, and the same look as my mom and 16:20 I get to pour my heart out with him, with the 16:23 same passion I wish someone would have 16:25 poured out to my nephew you know 16:26 because he ended up in jail, prison and I get to 16:30 give him everything that I was somewhere to 16:32 gave him or me at that age. 16:34 So that he can grow up and be saved and do 16:37 like wise and save or be a part of other people's 16:39 salvation you know, even more people than 16:42 I've gone to come into contact with them. 16:44 It's just a privilege, yeah, 16:46 to be a vessel for God. And I was a witness to 16:48 that, yeah, amen. How greatest way to 16:51 grow is in serving others and then you 16:54 get so much back, amen, from doing it and 16:57 you guys are witnessing that, you're seeing that 17:01 and you're sharing that with us tonight and we 17:04 really, I'm thrilled as I listen to. 17:07 I think the book Evangelism, page 190, 17:10 the Lord says that The soul you saved might be 17:13 your own, yeah, that's right, absolutely, and 17:16 I feel it when just give that testimony and as a 17:20 witness to see him as he ministered that kid that 17:22 he was being fed himself. Yes, we're gonna stay 17:25 with the medical work because the essential 17:27 part of our ministry there is a program in 17:31 Southern Alabama that over 40 years to build 17:35 this building to be a clinic, yes, and the 17:39 Federation of Southern Cooperatives is an 17:41 organization and they aren't able for over 40 17:45 years to accomplish this goal and I want Marlo 17:49 to talk a little bit about that. 17:50 Well this is amazing because it made us feel 17:53 like part of history and it was like Dr. Paul said 17:57 40 years ago the healthcare was really 18:01 lacking there and so this Southern Cooperatives, 18:05 the federation of Cooperatives they put 18:07 money together to make a clinic and they built 18:10 this clinic to be able to serve people, and where 18:13 was this, this is in Gainesville, Alabama, 18:15 alright, but there were no, there was no one 18:19 there to operate the clinic. 18:22 There were no nurses, physicians and so it just 18:26 kind of just set there and I think once they 18:28 used it as a daycare and so we were going 18:31 through there with the medical mobile unit and 18:36 we learned that the mayor was in town so 18:38 Dr. Paul said to us well let's just go to her house 18:42 and I was like Dr. Paul, we just can't show up at 18:46 the mayor's front step and not call, we don't 18:49 even know her, she doesn't even know us 18:52 and he was like let's just go and so we went and 18:55 we knocked on the door and she opened the door 18:57 and she wasn't prepared for guests and so I'm 19:00 like oh no, she is gonna like who are you guys, 19:02 you know get off my porch but she was like, 19:04 hi come on in and she was so nice and she sat 19:08 down and so we told her who we were and 19:10 when the things that we wanted to do with 19:12 YOD, you know tutoring the children in 19:14 the medical work and then that's when she 19:16 said oh we could really use you guys and she 19:19 took us down to this building that had just 19:22 been sitting there, that was built for the 19:24 purpose of the clinic and she showed it to us 19:27 and she said, it's yours to use. 19:30 You guys can set up a clinic here and 19:33 serve the people here. She is like we need it so 19:36 bad, people are dying at ages 30, 20, they don't 19:42 get the medication its so far to get medical care 19:45 so they don't go until it's a dyer emergency 19:47 and then even then by the time that ambulance 19:49 comes and takes them to the hospital, 19:51 it was too late. And so we are like wow 19:54 praise the Lord and it taught me a lesson 19:57 because the Holy Spirit was speaking to 19:59 Dr. Paul and it was giving that boldness and 20:02 faith you know Marlo, it's not about you so if 20:05 she shuts the doors on your face its not about 20:08 you its about the people. Just be bold go out and 20:11 take that step and so we've been setting up 20:13 the clinic down there, we've been moving 20:15 materials and every time we go down there 20:18 the people like when you're coming, when 20:19 you are gonna open up the clinic. 20:21 We just can't hardly wait, we can't wait 20:23 until you get here and they're just so joyous 20:26 and every time they just love us up, they feed us 20:29 whatever we want because they've never 20:31 had anything like this before, wow, and so we 20:34 know that God is opening the doors for us 20:37 to do that ministry and one thing I've seen 20:40 whether its Mississippi, Alabama, everybody 20:43 that comes through when they first come 20:45 through I've heard it five times on separate 20:47 occasions they'll say to one of us, I don't know 20:50 you all but I sure do love you. 20:54 And its like you know who they love is the 20:57 Jesus they see in us, and then we can say yes, 21:01 you know God sent us to you because you're 21:03 important, you're priceless and He cares 21:05 for you and He died for you. 21:07 And it's just a beautiful experience. 21:09 If I could just shut down my practice and 21:11 do this like the whole time I would because 21:14 it is just so rewarding, yeah, I mean its just 21:17 like, it's a high you get, it's addicting and you 21:19 just don't wanna stop. How are you gonna 21:21 manage that clinic down there? 21:24 Well we're praying about that right now, 21:26 alright, we are gonna step out on faith, okay, 21:29 as of now we looked at the hospitals that are 21:33 close by which close by would be about a hour, 21:36 hour and half, yes, is where the closest 21:37 hospitals are and they are able to give us some 21:40 feedback on how we can make it a rural 21:42 heath care center. Okay. We'll probably depend 21:46 on donations, things like that and right now 21:51 its basically whatever NAPS has fund wise 21:55 and whatever I can donate from my 21:57 practice is what we're using now to be able to 22:00 run the clinic and to treat the people. 22:02 Could you use volunteer nurses, yes, 22:05 and volunteer doctors, exactly, and we are in 22:07 the process of recruiting that. 22:09 We actually have a page on our website 22:11 where physicians, nurses, dentists they can 22:15 fill out a volunteer form, okay, and they 22:18 can submit it and its not just for local work its 22:20 also if like a tragedy hits we need medical 22:24 personal who can just on the moment just pick 22:27 up and go, right, and help us with those 22:31 tragedies as far as help is concerned so at the 22:34 website which is up there now napsoc.org 22:37 you can go to the volunteer page and you 22:39 can fill that out and then we'll have like a bank 22:42 of names and we can just call you when we 22:44 need you or you can tell us what type of service 22:46 you're available for, if it's just local that's 22:49 okay, if its foreign that's also good. 22:52 Wow, okay, that's good, 22:54 that is a great work doctor. 22:56 Now we have a group coming on in a little 22:57 while it can come down up this program here. 23:00 Talking about our work up the Amazon, okay, 23:02 just came up from there that's why Josh is 23:04 looking the way he is looking right now. 23:06 Just came out of jungle, giving a chance to clean 23:08 them up a little bit, oh yeah, but the next come 23:11 in and then now it'll take some more time 23:12 with that to hear about the work and that's 23:15 being done right there, alright. 23:18 Well listen we do once again urge you to call 23:22 us for the book Education.

How Great Thou Art! 24:15 O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder, 24:27 Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made; 24:38 I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, 24:49 Thy power throughout this universe displayed. 25:01 Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, 25:13 How great Thou art, How great Thou art. 25:25 Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, 25:37 How great Thou art, How great Thou art! 25:55 And when I think, How God, His Son not sparing; 26:07 Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; 26:17 How that on the Cross, my burden gladly buried, 26:29 He bled and He died to take away all my sin. 26:40 Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, 26:52 How great Thou art, How great Thou art. 27:04 Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, 27:16 How great Thou art, 27:23 How great Thou art! 27:34 How great Thou art! 27:50 How great Thou art, that's just one of the 27:52 most wonderful Gospel songs ever and its one 27:57 that was first sung in front of a lot of people 28:01 at least, the Billy Graham Crusade 28:05 and New York City and it was sung by George 28:07 Beverly Shea, I know that, I know that. 28:09 And if George Beverly Shea is watching 28:11 tonight and sometimes he does, then we just 28:15 wish him, he had a birthday not long ago 28:18 and we wish him a happy birthday. 28:20 So we appreciate that song so very much. 28:23 Mark Trammell did a great job singing it. 28:26 Mark loves the Lord, I've spent some time out 28:29 camp meeting in Florida with Mark and 28:32 we spent some time wasting together and 28:34 I can assure you he loves the Lord Jesus Christ. 28:38 Well listen we got a whole new group 28:40 almost, want to take it home now, yeah, 28:42 we have two lovely young ladies just joined 28:46 us and they're spokespersons 28:49 for NAPS, they're very diligent young ladies 28:52 very wise in the Lord and we'll ask them to 28:55 introduce themselves, alright. 28:57 Well my name is Christine Whitaker, 29:00 I was raised in Riverside, California 29:02 but I now live in Charlotte, North 29:03 California and I'm an aspiring nurse, alright. 29:08 And my name is Claudie Best, I'm from 29:10 Miami, Florida and I'm a biology lecturer at 29:12 Oakwood University. Okay alright, biology 29:16 and nursing, yes. And we've Dr. Marlo is still 29:20 with us, yes, yes. Alright. And they've been 29:23 inspired I think by Marlo's work this 29:27 maybe you can talk a little about what has 29:28 inspired you to join NAPS and to get into 29:31 the medical field, the health field. 29:34 Well I guess I can go first, I'm gonna say 29:37 that being in NAPS has far been 29:40 an extreme blessing. I'm just been able to 29:43 work for the Lord be co-labors with Him you 29:45 know as Pa tells us we're going out there 29:47 and planting and watering, allow him to 29:49 do the rest of the work. Especially on this year 29:51 of dedication as we are part of the 7th team so 29:55 go out and do this work and one of the most 29:57 profound privileges I've had is on working along 30:00 side Dr. Marlo, the Dr. Marlo and she is truly a 30:05 woman of the Lord, I constantly just see the 30:07 Holy Spirit just working through her 30:10 and on just seeing that and being able to 30:12 witness that first hand I know that's something 30:14 that many students lack. You know before get 30:16 into the field before having assurance that 30:19 they want to do it, being able to get the exposure 30:21 and so I was able to do that see her, 30:24 diagnose the individuals and not just give them 30:26 the drugs but also give them ways almost to 30:29 preventing, you know in the future. 30:31 And just seeing how she is able to do 30:32 ministry with it its just something that showed 30:35 me that this is indeed something I want to do 30:38 my profession you know just do more than 30:40 just work but to bring others to Christ as well. 30:43 And so she has indeed inspired me because at 30:45 first I was a chemist major. 30:46 But now I am a biology major and I have no 30:49 doubts about it especially how people 30:51 like Dr. Paul and Dr. Marlo and all of my 30:53 peers just being examples for me in this 30:56 work for the Lord. Wow, alright. 30:59 It sounds good. Yes. And I was a biology 31:02 major originally at Oakwood and Dr. Paul 31:06 actually was my teacher and originally I wanted 31:10 to be a doctor for the fancy reasons and 31:12 things like that, oh it's sure, but Dr. Paul was 31:15 so inspiring when he taught us about science 31:18 he wrapped the love of God all in there and told 31:21 us that as premed students that the Lord 31:23 was calling us not just to heal physically but to 31:25 heal spiritually as well and so it just brought 31:28 little insight when I came to the healthcare 31:30 like how God can really truly use us, yes, 31:34 and so with him being the president of NAPS 31:36 I can see now that my spiritual eyes have been 31:39 opened a little more. I've got ordered my 31:41 steps not that he wanted me to be a doctor but he 31:44 wanted me to be in Dr. Paul's class so that 31:46 I could have the experiences that I have 31:48 been blessed to have today. Wow. Amen. 31:50 You know just serving God by serving people, 31:53 it's an exciting concept, it really is yes, yes. 31:57 Well Jim we have an exciting report to give 32:00 on our last mission we just came back about 32:02 three or four days ago, okay, we were deep in 32:05 the Amazon, wow, and we experienced 32:08 something that I've never thought still 32:10 existed on this earth. We've been through out 32:13 Africa, we have been through the Philippines, 32:15 Madagascar, we've seen it all, we thought we're 32:18 dead until we went up this river in Suriname 32:21 called Suriname River. First you have to take a 32:23 journey six hours up a dusty road and then 32:27 upper river in some motorboats and you can 32:30 see me there and behind me is Claudie and 32:33 don't know who else is behind, you can see 32:35 Marlo is back there, yeah. Take these boats 32:37 up this river into the Amazon jungle, okay. 32:40 There we met people these are called, 32:43 we call them Bush Negroes, they were 32:46 slaves that runaway some 500 years ago. 32:49 When they were brought to that place 32:51 from West Africa. They call themselves 32:53 Bush Negroes. They call themselves Bush Negroes. 32:54 So it's not a derogative term to call. 32:56 No, no. And so they ran away into the bushes 33:00 because it looked just like their homeland 33:02 where they came from, they had all little dialect 33:04 that they used to communicate with each 33:06 other and there was open blatant idolatry, 33:10 well, and not of ignorance, not of choice. 33:12 Right, right. It's not of ignorance. 33:14 They openly worship idols, they have demons. 33:20 Now is this one of the huts that there or, 33:23 this is the worship hut, okay, and the stories 33:28 behind it how they select their leaders, 33:33 yeah, and so much spiritualism is just, 33:35 its just beyond your comprehension. 33:37 And like other places where we have gone 33:39 like in Haiti and Madagascar was hidden 33:41 at night, this is open, okay, because they 33:44 don't understand. These places have no 33:47 churches, no catholic, no Baptists, nothing 33:50 peaceful, they don't let anyone into this place, 33:53 they guard it, wow. And so we heard of this 33:56 place and we said while these are people that 33:58 need the Gospel. Yeah. And so they 34:00 warned us that we couldn't get into these 34:01 villages and so and so but as I told before in NAPS. 34:06 They said go and so we're gonna go until we 34:09 get stopped, right, and we went into there and 34:12 looked at some things and the first time we 34:14 couldn't get in and we made a second attempt 34:17 about a month ago we didn't get in and that's 34:20 when this all was exposed to us. 34:22 So I did an analysis, we didn't see what our 34:24 tensions were and so forth but we saw the 34:26 need and it was a medical need 34:28 and a dental need. So we came back in 34:30 where we called the big guns of the ministry 34:33 and we had several doctors I think Marlo 34:36 can speak to those who went in with us and 34:37 who made contributions to make this happen. 34:40 Yes, we had Dr. Rick Cole, he's a periodontist 34:44 and he and his son Scott came with us to do 34:49 dental work and he had colleagues that also 34:54 helped. That's the picture of him and his 34:56 son and we needed a lot of supplies and 35:00 medications donated and Dr. Adel Myrie, 35:04 Ken Skyberg, Gary Bogle, John Cercek, 35:08 Eric Oakley and Richard Wells are all 35:11 dentists that supplied Dr. Cole with the things 35:14 that he needed to be able to work efficiently 35:17 because there was one village that had 2000 35:20 people in it, wow, and so we knew that we 35:22 were gonna be busy both in the dental and 35:25 the medical area. And that village we 35:27 call it Jericho, yeah, yaba and they did not 35:31 want anyone into their place, so we went in 35:33 there we took some of the young ladies in 35:35 there, they sang songs, African songs and so 35:38 forth win the hearts of the people and then we 35:41 brought the dental folks in and I want to say 35:42 some but Dr. Cole. He reminds me of you 35:46 a lot, he had a warm, joyful spirit about him, 35:49 its his first mission but he acted as though it 35:51 was his 100th mission. He love people like he 35:55 don't know why. Yeah. And so, he was very 35:57 kind of scared going into this mission 35:59 because this is one is a remote, okay, and but 36:02 he made a sacrifice to go, wow, and then he 36:05 wanted to bring his son, so we said well he 36:08 haven't been trained but since you're making a 36:10 sacrifice right, yes bring him on. 36:12 Because we don't take untrained people, right, 36:14 so he brought his son and so his son started 36:16 helping him out in the dental work and so 36:18 forth and I think we have a still of that with 36:21 him working with his dad and he is the one in 36:24 the light blue his dad was pulling 500 teeth 36:28 from visiting them. Wow, and so they're 36:30 working together and his son in the evening 36:32 will come to the evangelistic meeting. 36:35 His son is not baptized, was not at that time, 36:37 alright. And like as I mentioned and any 36:40 sane person with logical, yeah, listen to 36:44 this message straight from the word of God, 36:46 amen, unadulterated now he says, she say 36:48 straight from the word of God, right, he sat 36:50 there from night to night playing with the 36:53 kids and listen to the word and that up night 36:56 all to call again, wow, he came down he was 36:59 baptized, amen, and his father wept and it was 37:03 the picture of him being baptized here. 37:05 He was weeping as he got baptized. 37:07 His dad also wept never expected it, his mom 37:10 got the call and she said that when he came 37:13 home he is like a different person, yeah, 37:14 he says she got the son that she lost so many 37:17 years ago. Playing with the kids and that has 37:19 been a good time. Yeah. So we told Dr. Cole 37:22 that's the blessing that you mentioned it that 37:24 the blessing you get when you said where 37:26 God's will look after your family. 37:27 He comes back. And so all in NAPS were happy 37:29 with that but Dr. Cole he is a adventurous 37:34 person and he is without fear because it's 37:37 not easy going up that river in that boat, yeah. 37:41 And so now going into the place we called 37:44 Jericho, the walls were thick we could not get 37:47 in, okay, you know, but as again with NAPS we 37:51 will go until we got shut down. 37:53 So we went over with girls and guys and 37:55 started singing all the chiefs came out and to 37:57 ask us what our mission was about. 37:59 We told them and they asked us if we were a 38:02 religious group we belong to any church, 38:04 we said no because we are not a part of that 38:07 Adventist church we're a independence church 38:09 supporting ministry, exactly, right. 38:11 And so they said okay because they didn't 38:13 want any religion in because they're idol 38:16 worshipers, but we started singing and they 38:18 love our singing, so they wants to comeback 38:20 and sing some more. Alright. 38:21 Then we explained what the songs were 38:23 about and it was too late now all the kids are 38:24 loving up the NAPS and were moving into 38:28 the community at that time, yes, and then we 38:30 brought in the medical and the dental work 38:33 and then at the end of that ministry to that one 38:36 village they were asking now for us to come and 38:39 stay a little longer with them. Okay. 38:41 So you know what's gonna happen then, 38:42 alright. I know. But we are gonna talk more 38:45 about the medical work there up that river and 38:47 what they have witnessed and their 38:49 testimonies and what have you. 38:51 Yes, it was so powerful, it was like, it was just 38:58 powerful we went to this place and there's 39:02 over 2000 people, you walk up on the land 39:05 from the river, you see their alters, you see the 39:08 schools and then you see the babies with 39:10 these like braided ropes around their waist and 39:13 you ask what is that and the mom say oh their 39:15 spirit is in that rope and we can't take it off or 39:18 they're gonna die, oh my, and they says other 39:20 spirits live within them and so you know we're 39:23 treating them medically and there is one 39:27 instance where I want Claudie to give 39:28 testimony about the Christian lady. 39:33 Oh! Yes okay, so this is a village, mind you its 39:37 2000 people and like Doc said its basically 39:38 Jericho like no form of Christianity there 39:40 whatsoever and is what we knew and so I'm 39:43 triaging, I take down the individual's name 39:45 before they come in and so I take down her 39:47 name do the basic you know hello, how are 39:49 you, and then I give her a hug and I'm about to 39:52 leave and she said the word, she speaks in a 39:55 language and I only know a few but I was 39:57 like tell me again, tell me again and so 40:00 finally when she said it a third time I caught 40:02 onto the words [Foreign Language] 40:04 and I just connected it what we've learned 40:06 from the Evangelistic meeting and I was like 40:08 you're asking me if I believe in Jesus and 40:10 she said yes and I said yes I do, I do, and I just 40:13 gave her this big hug and I was like oh my 40:15 goodness, I was excited because this was a 40:17 shock you know being in this village. Right. 40:19 And I was like wow you know what made 40:21 you, once in all but then you know I can't speak 40:23 to either, which is got to translated, and so like 40:25 Dr. Marlo, she actually, I believe in Jesus and 40:28 she does too and so praise the Lord 40:30 Dr. Marlo treats her, she prays with her and 40:34 she says there is a few more Christians out 40:36 there if you like really, and so we like okay so 40:39 try to get them and mind you its many 40:41 people out there and when you go out there 40:43 it's like the people its aggressive, they're like 40:45 waiting long hours, they don't want to wait. 40:48 You know and we're trying to make sure that 40:49 they get treated when they come in they're 40:51 happy, oh yes, doctor, they want to sing that 40:53 song, but when they are out there like I want to 40:56 come and everything and so we're like tell the 40:58 Christians to come so we get them to 41:00 come around the side and I'm like oh my 41:02 goodness Lord this is so serious faith act right 41:04 now but I'm like nonetheless we're gonna 41:06 do it, so we get them in and right when I go into 41:09 call them there is some lady, I had bickering 41:12 and I'm like what's going on and there's 41:13 some other villagers who are standing there 41:16 saying in their language you're taking them 41:18 because they are Christians, just because 41:19 they are Christians you are taking them. 41:20 And I was like oh my goodness and it's just 41:23 went to show you the big contrast in the 41:25 village if they're able to be so angry that they're 41:28 being seen and if they can say is because 41:31 they're Christians how can you know that these 41:33 few people are Christians and it was 41:35 just amazing and the lady who told us they 41:37 were there we asked her how many Christians 41:39 are here and she is like it's a lot, and we were 41:42 like really how many, and she goes like this, 41:44 and we were like that's it and she is like yeah, 41:47 and we're like wow ten Christians, yeah, yeah, 41:50 and it was just amazing and I just kept praying 41:52 for them, we should do as they left I was like 41:55 Lord please keep them because I was just 41:56 thinking what they would have to deal with. 41:58 How did they hear about Jesus, right. 42:00 In a place like that. Well we didn't know, 42:03 you still don't know, we still don't know, 42:04 we wanna find out but somebody went out 42:08 there, somebody and I don't know if they 42:10 were in another city and they moved to that 42:12 village, it sounds really good, but I mean the 42:14 ministry there I mean the medical work really 42:17 did breakdown a lot of better because even 42:18 though the people were very aggressive, 42:20 God worked a miracle and we are able to see 42:22 everybody and we saw over 500 patients I don't 42:26 know how many days and you calculate you 42:28 have to have everything translated, yeah, and 42:30 there is just one gentleman he was like 42:32 can you please see my brother, please see my 42:34 brother and we're like okay we're looking at 42:37 there and we see all these people and he 42:39 goes to take his brother and he brings him back 42:41 in a wheelbarrow. And so we tried to 42:44 help him out of the wheelbarrow and he 42:46 was like one day my brother woke up and his 42:48 speech is funny and he can't move the right 42:51 side of his body, yes but they don't know, 42:54 they don't know they have high blood 42:55 pressure and so we were able to explain it 42:58 to them and to care for them and that's when 43:00 one of our NAPS mate she just broke down 43:02 crying as they put him back in the wheelbarrow. 43:04 But, what we did is we cared for them like they 43:09 were our own members, yes, and the head chief 43:13 he saw that, now mind you this is where there 43:15 is no church or anything he saw that and he was 43:18 the first to get treated and we worked there 43:21 all day at the end of the day he walked us back 43:24 to the river at the boat, and he said I've heard 43:28 that you guys are preaching the Gospel in 43:31 another village when are you gonna bring the 43:34 Gospel to this village and our mouth just dropped. 43:38 And we are like what, you know this is like 43:41 amazing, Jericho, yeah Jericho, its like praise 43:43 the Lord and God is so good and so I get ready 43:48 and then there was like another village down 43:50 the river called Gestinson and we went 43:53 there and we did the medical work there and 43:56 Dr. Paul, he brought all these reading glasses 43:59 and so he was able to you know do their 44:01 because a lot of ladies so and the older men 44:04 they read and they were so happy like I can see, 44:07 I can see, so again and they're excited and after 44:10 we finished doing the medical work there that 44:12 captain he said, I will give you land to build a 44:15 church, yes, yes, if you come to my village and 44:18 so the word had spread because meanwhile the 44:21 village that we're living in because we lived 44:23 with the people, we eat with them everything, yeah. 44:26 So the people from the village that we were 44:28 stationed at apparently were spreading the 44:31 word of what we were doing and the 44:33 evangelistic meanings and when we were first 44:35 going up the river in the canoe this is what we 44:37 would get from passer -byers, yeah, yeah, 44:41 you know nothing but after like the medical 44:45 work and the dental work. It was. 44:47 Yeah, words gets around. Hey, hey, 44:50 you know it can really and this is a beautiful 44:52 picture of Claudie and that little girl. 44:56 I wanna talk a little bit about how the work set 45:00 off really in that small village that we went 45:02 into, because the whole place was blocked off. 45:05 They did not want any religious 45:06 activity there, alright. So we took a small 45:08 village called [Foreign Language] 45:11 and there we set up just about a 100 persons 45:13 there and they were so happy because they 45:15 were the forgotten village. 45:17 They are the poorest, they are the poorest 45:19 of them, all do in nakedness everywhere 45:21 and we did take clothes and clothed them and so 45:22 forth, and it was like a beautiful experience. 45:25 So the first day we had a trainer with us from 45:27 the city his name was Mr. Blackman and 45:29 praise the Lord for the team in Suriname 45:32 pastor, the president pastor Gudge, 45:34 and Pat they're solid soldiers that have 45:38 soldiers that have pushed forth, they 45:39 have this happen in the town and in their 45:41 country and so at this village we explained to 45:46 Pastor Blackman how NAPS operate. 45:49 We don't push our message on anyone, 45:51 if they want it they'll ask for it. 45:53 So we started having devotion in the 45:56 morning, we treat the kids with medicine and 45:58 so forth. So Sabbath morning we have no 46:00 devotion and we do skits and drama. 46:02 We do more preaching through skits and 46:04 dramas especially in those areas. 46:06 So we started with the, was it the Noah's Ark 46:09 and the villagers are just going about doing 46:11 their work but they saw the kids outside 46:14 practicing their skits to come inside due to 46:17 compound where you were. And just as we expected 46:20 they came and pulled the curtain back and 46:22 said could we be a part of this we would like to 46:24 see this, yeah, praise the Lord. 46:26 We took the curtain down and we had 46:28 church with them that Sabbath and then they 46:30 said they wanted to know more then we 46:32 started preaching everyday to them, alright. 46:35 And that is when the other villages heard 46:37 about it, okay and saying that they will, 46:39 they like what was happening, sure. 46:41 Also we got to school and went talk about the 46:43 school what happened there and what 46:45 kind of programs you had there. 46:47 Yes! Okay so God is so good. 46:49 We're able to do children's student 46:51 programs in a village called Yao Yai, 46:54 now mind you [Foreign Language] 46:55 which Dr. Paul said had about a 100 people 46:57 didn't have a school of their own so they would 46:59 walk about two miles to Yao Yai and so there 47:03 when we first came at first we worked in the 47:06 schools, the principal allowed us to work in 47:08 the school. We teach them English and math 47:11 and we also had a section what we call 47:14 Biblical morals and we share with them 47:17 scriptures and more skits and I'm just really 47:20 shared them the love of God who will play with 47:22 them for recess and things like that. 47:24 And so the kids started to love us first and 47:28 I think that really is what opened the doors 47:30 it allow us to do Bible studies in their homes 47:33 and so but eventually the principal found that 47:36 we were not Catholic as he was and so he 47:40 stopped us from working in the school 47:43 during school hours but he still said that 47:45 we could come after school and work there, 47:48 so we're still like praise the Lord you know we 47:50 still have a place that we can share and teach 47:53 them and I'm just love them so much, led them 47:55 to Jesus and so we started children's 47:58 programs that about four in the afternoon 48:00 and kids were still coming, they would 48:02 walk two miles you know they would walk 48:04 home and then walk back to Yao Yai and the 48:06 kids in Yao Yai would come and meet us there. 48:08 Sometimes we would have 35 to 50 kids and 48:11 we're just sharing and doing skits and 48:13 continuing to teach them about God and 48:16 also teach them English and math and things 48:18 like that and it's just I just learned how much 48:22 love can bring people to Jesus and I wish you 48:27 could be there to hear them because the 48:30 memory verses that we taught them were in 48:31 Dutch because that's the language that they 48:33 speak at school and so for kids who didn't 48:37 know about God you know who didn't know 48:39 that God loved them are now walking around the 48:41 village saying [Foreign Language] 48:44 and that means yeah, I love thee, 48:47 that's Jeremiah 31:3, yea, I've loved thee 48:50 with in everlasting love is what God is saying 48:53 and may know that now and so I just know that 48:56 they opened the doors for us to be able to do 48:58 Bible studies in their very homes. 49:00 What language were they speaking? 49:02 They were speaking a language called 49:04 Saramaccan which is a dialect from Taki Taki, 49:08 which is a dialect from Dutch, yeah, 49:11 so teaching them the Bible verses were also 49:14 able to do it in Dutch, so it's like two birds 49:17 with one stone tied by teaching them Bible, 49:19 love of God and as well as Dutch a language 49:22 that they need us to speak in school. 49:24 Right okay. And you have translators over 49:27 there, you have translators with you, 49:28 yes there were so helpful they're the 49:31 reason why we're able to even learn it 49:33 ourselves to teach it to them, yeah, okay. 49:36 Then finally they had baptism if you don't 49:39 have baptism I guess you have, that's right 49:41 and so it was a joyous day I think for 49:43 everyone, oh yeah, to see not only Dr. Cole's 49:47 son get baptized but the chief got baptized, 49:50 the chief, yes, the chief got baptized, 49:51 I think we have a still on that, wow, that's the 49:55 chief, yes Joshua in the back there, alright, 49:58 and that's Pastor Blackman baptizing and 50:00 one translator present and then a young man 50:03 he was a Catholic something we don't 50:05 know but he came out to our meeting that's 50:07 him right there. Okay. This man is very, 50:08 very wise, people of them are very 50:10 intelligent though, oh yeah, living in a hut 50:12 doesn't mean that they're not intelligent, 50:14 this young man has some privilege to learn 50:16 that, yes and so he is now the leader, 50:19 he is now building the church in his land, 50:23 yes this young man has cut a tree down a 50:25 massive tree and then making boats of it now 50:27 to start and he is so happy that he has found 50:31 this new found truth. Wow. And so we all are 50:33 happy. And we have a testimony to share with 50:35 us I know, oh my personal experience. 50:39 Yeah. Okay well I was born and raised 50:42 Adventist, my parents, I love my parents so 50:45 much they just wanted me to be raised in 50:48 admiration of the Lord, yeah, so I mean I was 50:51 home schooled, I went to Adventist schools 50:53 like they you know we are afraid 50:54 of the public system. So, you know my whole 50:57 life I had the privilege of knowing about God 50:59 and his love and things like that but what 51:02 comes with that as well is not being aware that 51:04 people don't know God as you do and that's 51:07 how I was comfortable, completely comfortable 51:10 going to church every week, singing the 51:12 children's choir. My dad was first elder and 51:14 things like that. But I didn't know being 51:17 raising in America that's a Christian 51:18 country that people did not know about God 51:22 and so when I have the call to come on YOD 51:25 little that I know that it would be the best 51:28 experience of my life and I remember I used 51:30 to pray in high school like Lord my parents 51:33 have wonderful testimonies of how God has brought 51:35 them to you but I want testimonies of my own, 51:38 yeah, I would like a faith that's good and 51:40 grounded in you for myself and so I didn't 51:43 know that you know a couple of years later 51:45 that God will answer my prayers by sending 51:47 me to Suriname, South America where 51:50 I saw signs and wonders of how 51:53 amazing God is. I saw people we actually 51:56 did Bible studies together with a lady 51:57 named Bianca and I remember when we 52:00 first came she was not willing us for real and 52:03 so we just kept being persisting and persisting 52:05 with her and eventually like she knew the 52:08 memory verses and she was able to answer the 52:10 questions in the evangelistic meetings 52:12 and she had made that decision to get baptized 52:14 herself and some circumstances came up 52:16 to where she couldn't but I know the Lord 52:19 saw her stand up in her heart and so I just 52:21 praised God like I just saw God's power and 52:24 his love all through that and there is no way that 52:27 you know I can go back, come back to 52:29 America and be the same like. 52:31 I just want everyone who is listening young 52:34 people or old people or like to know that 52:38 God has something for you as well, especially 52:40 young people He wants to give you your own 52:42 testimonies but you will have to stand up for 52:44 Him and go out there and we want to win 52:46 souls as well and its, I've never been more 52:48 happy then I'm now ever. Sure. 52:53 It's a pleasure working with these young 52:55 people, oh, yeah. They, they say I inspired 52:58 them but they inspired me, they inspired you, 53:00 yes and like we called her our song bird she is 53:03 constantly singing she will make up songs 53:06 with kids name in it and make them feel loved 53:08 and special and Claudie she was working with 53:11 me in the clinic and she will kneel on the dirt 53:13 ground by the patients and she will put her arm 53:17 in their arms she will just look at them with 53:18 just loving eyes and just you know and I see 53:22 those eyes and I know what they're saying, 53:23 I want you to have eternal life you know. 53:26 And hugs them up and loves them and so its 53:28 like you know we can't do this work without 53:31 every part of their body, that's right, and medical 53:34 is one aspect but the beautiful songs and the 53:36 hugs and the love that kind of composes the 53:39 whole thing and that's what wins souls to Christ. 53:42 Well listen these stories are just so exciting to 53:45 me and they thrill me if you would like to get in 53:49 tough with NAPS and there are many reasons 53:51 why you should.
