00:01 Do you want to meet some young men
00:02 that are doing great things for Christ in Media? 00:05 Well, stay tuned because they're right here 00:07 in the Studio with me today... 00:09 My name is Yvonne Lewis, and you're watching... 00:11 Urban Report... 00:33 Hello and welcome to Urban Report... 00:35 Today our Program features two young men 00:38 that are using Media to reach the world for Jesus Christ 00:41 Ryan St. Hillaire and Benjamin Middleton 00:44 of UnScene Media Group, Inc. are here... 00:47 in the studio with us today... 00:49 Welcome to Urban Report Ryan and Ben... yeah... 00:52 Give me your hand Ben... good to have you here... 00:56 So, tell me... okay... first let's find out 01:00 a little bit about who you guys are... 01:02 Let's start with you Ryan, you're the Executive Director 01:05 of UnScene Media Group, where are you from originally 01:09 That's a good question, it really depends on what year 01:12 your asking me... I grew up in Canada 01:15 Okay... Toronto area... 01:17 and I went to School at Andrews University, 01:21 and since I graduated there well, basically, 01:25 since I graduated we've been involved 01:27 in full-time ministry. 01:28 Wow, that's wonderful... and we're going to find out 01:31 a lot about that ministry in a second 01:33 so you're originally from Canada 01:35 Yeah... but did you move away from there 01:38 did you move to the States or did you grow up there as well 01:40 Well, since I moved... when I went to School obviously 01:43 we moved down to Michigan, and I've been in the States 01:46 ever since... pretty much... and I've lived 01:49 in different places... I have lived in West Virginia 01:53 for a year... lived in basically 01:57 staying in Texas right now, Ah... 01:59 and so, I've been all over the place... 02:02 Okay, all right Ryan... and what about you Ben? 02:05 Well, I was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio 02:08 and then I spent a few years traveling... 02:11 I spent a year in West Virginia where we actually met, 02:14 I spent a couple of years in Michigan 02:16 and now I'm currently border-hopping between 02:19 here and Canada where my wife is... 02:21 Oh... okay... okay... and are you married 02:24 as well Ryan? No... 02:25 Okay, so we have one bachelor and one married... 02:28 You have any children, Ben? No, I just got married 02:30 about 7 months ago... Oh, you're a newlywed... 02:33 Oh, that's sweet... that's sweet... 02:35 so, have you guys always been involved in Media? 02:38 Tell us how you got involved in Media... 02:40 Yeah... it's for me... I mean, and we both have stories 02:44 but I've always been interested in Media... 02:48 Production... 02:49 that sort of thing from the time that I was little 02:51 I remember 02:53 getting together on Sabbaths 02:56 with my cousins... we'd be putting together 02:57 our little corny plays and we'd be giving out tickets 03:01 to all of our parents and getting them to come 03:04 and watch our plays and be making little movies 03:07 with the Legos... Lego Star wars and all sorts of things 03:11 and so I've always had an interest in Media 03:14 so I can't really say that it started at a particular time 03:18 Yeah... yeah... it sounds as though 03:21 that is part of God's divine plan for you 03:24 and it started really early... 03:25 What about you Ben? Well, it's kind of 03:27 the same story for me... as long as I can remember 03:30 we loved media 03:32 when I was a kid... we used to listen to 03:34 old-time Radio from the 1930s and 40s 03:36 and so we loved it so much that we tried to make our 03:39 own radio shows using cassette tapes... 03:40 do you remember cassette tapes? 03:42 Oh, wow, you're taking us back... 03:43 doing multi-track editing and 03:47 then we got into 03:48 making silent films... because that was the next best 03:51 thing... Charlie Chaplin was my hero 03:53 and after that... my brother and I 03:55 kind of got into making short films... 03:58 and then I said, "You know what... 04:00 if I have some desire to do something with media, 04:03 let me do it for God... and from there 04:05 until now... it's been total application to 04:08 Media Ministry... I love seeing young people 04:12 that are on fire for God... 04:14 because, with all of the things that the world has, 04:17 it just often sucks our young people in... 04:20 and with you guys being missionaries 04:24 for the Lord through Media 04:26 but you've actually gone to other countries 04:29 and done missionary work... 04:30 tell us a little bit about that... 04:31 Well, I actually always wanted to go on a mission trip 04:36 and to then record it and then bring it back... 04:39 because I remember, several years ago, 04:41 my sister went on a mission trip to Zambia 04:43 and she came back and she was telling all the 04:44 mission stories of how 04:46 they were working with the children 04:47 and all the appeals that were made 04:50 and the decisions that were made 04:51 the baptisms... and I thought to myself 04:53 "You know what? there's got to be something 04:55 even greater than the story... 04:57 if people could see it, instead of hearing it... 04:59 it would change people's lives... 05:00 and so, the next year 05:02 I had an opportunity to go to Zimbabwe... 05:04 and on that trip... 05:05 it changed my life completely... 05:08 How, how did it change your life? 05:10 Well, I realized that I really don't need much of anything 05:13 to exist... we were out there 05:15 and these people have... almost nothing... 05:17 you know, they live in their little huts, 05:19 and they eat their food everyday... 05:21 and they sleep on the ground... 05:23 and we were out there with them... 05:26 and we're out bathing... in the cold wind... 05:30 I remember soaping up the wind blows 05:33 20-miles-per-hour wind... 05:34 I don't care what the temperature is... 05:35 with 20-miles-per-hour winds, you get really cold... 05:37 and so we were out there and I recognized... 05:41 "You know what? this is a serious mission... 05:44 this isn't like building a church in Hawaii... 05:49 this is a really dirty mission" you know... 05:52 and as I was recognizing this is what 05:54 God is calling all of us to do... 05:56 to make sacrifices for the Kingdom of God... 05:58 I recognized, "Man, let me take 06:01 my relationship with God to the next level... " 06:03 and so, from there until now, I've decided that 06:06 full-time ministry is the way to go... 06:07 Oh, that is just wonderful... 06:09 Let me just say something about the trip... 06:11 yeah... I remember us talking about 06:12 a little bit before you went on the trip and 06:15 you know, I thought it was a good idea... 06:18 but I didn't really see the whole picture of 06:21 everything... but afterwards when you came 06:24 back with the footage, I mean, I was really amazed 06:26 at what you came back with... 06:28 Hmmm... but even then... 06:29 it didn't really hit me until afterwards 06:31 when we finished the production, hearing the stories 06:34 of people that had watched the DVD, 06:36 and it's just... it really had such a big impact 06:40 on their life... and they actually had 06:42 missionaries... that decided to become 06:45 missionaries because they had watched the film... 06:47 As a result of the film... 06:48 so that was really cool... Wow... 06:50 That's wonderful and is this the Docudrama... 06:54 Yes... Is it like a Documentary? 06:55 You want to hold it... Yeah... hold it up... 06:58 I think you're covering up 07:00 Zimbabwe... there we go... 07:03 This is a documentary "Zimbabwe" 07:05 I think it's... how long is it? 07:07 It's about an hour... It's about an hour... 07:10 and it covers 3 teams of missionaries... 07:12 in Zimbabwe who went... 07:14 I mean we were sometimes 07:16 hiking 8 hours a day... to give Bible Studies to people 07:19 people were upset because, "Oh you go to their house, 07:21 why didn't you come to our house?" 07:23 you know... sometimes 20 miles a day 07:25 on foot... it was extensive 07:28 but people were hungry for the gospel... 07:30 Yes... it was really life changing... 07:31 That's so wonderful, in fact, praise the Lord, 07:34 we're going to be showing this... hopefully 07:37 on Dare to Dream... Praise the Lord... 07:39 So, that will be wonderful, so Viewers... 07:41 watch out for it... it's... 07:43 "Zimbabwe... this soil also" 07:45 and we're going to be showing this DVD 07:47 on Dare to Dream... Lord willing... 07:52 So, again, it's unusual for me to meet 07:56 young missionaries, and I'm loving this... 08:00 because you can be a missionary 08:01 and go to a foreign country, 08:02 you can be a missionary right here... 08:05 and so, tell us about UnScene... 08:07 Where did that name come from... 08:09 where did UnScene Media Group come from? 08:12 Okay... that's an interesting story... 08:14 we often joke about it and say that, 08:17 "We're called UnScene because nobody has ever 08:20 seen our stuff... " That was before... 08:24 that was before... And often times we find 08:28 ourselves working with "unseen budgets" as well... 08:30 We understand that here as well... 08:35 More realistically though 08:37 the name, didn't come to us very... you know... 08:41 just off the top of our head... we were deliberating 08:44 over a name for weeks probably about a month, maybe... 08:49 Hmmm... hmmm... and just praying about it 08:51 because we wanted to find something 08:53 that was based on a Bible Verse... 08:56 Hmmm... you know, Scripturally based 08:58 but also... that was kind of fun though 09:01 we could... kind of... have a play on words... 09:02 Hmmm... and so, finally, we came up 09:05 with the name... well, we came up with 09:08 the idea of "Scene" because "Scene" could be spelled 09:10 either way... see on the T-Shirt 09:12 it's spelled "SCENE" Yes.. 09:14 and when you're dealing with television... 09:17 a "Scene" is basically what you see... 09:20 Right... every time you turn on 09:22 your television... Right... 09:23 and so, we played with that and we found a verse 09:27 in 2 Corinthians 4:18 that basically says that 09:31 "We fix our eyes not on what is seen, 09:33 but on what is unseen" Come on now... 09:36 because what is "seen" is temporary... 09:38 but what is "unseen" is eternal 09:41 I think we can get ready to have a little Church 09:43 up in here now... I love it... 09:45 Preach now... I know... Preach... I love it... 09:48 That's beautiful... That's the mission of what we're 09:50 doing... basically is turning the eyes and the hearts 09:53 of people to "unseen realities" the things that are unseen... 09:57 Yes... but by using CDs... 09:59 Yes... and you've been able to 10:02 what I love about your work and what I have seen 10:05 "Scene" is that... it's fresh and it's new 10:12 and it's cutting edge... you know... 10:14 it's not just some boring presentation 10:16 in fact... we have a little clip of your "War Plans" trailer 10:21 that you've done... and we'll put it up in a second 10:25 but it's fresh and it's edgy, you know, 10:29 you guys bring this whole other deal... 10:33 you bring your youth, you bring the whole contemporary 10:37 mind-set to what you do, and so, 10:39 this is really a blessing... 10:41 Set up... our little clip for us if you would... 10:45 Okay... definitely... the "War Plans" Project 10:48 one of the elements of the "War Plans" Project 10:52 includes these videos which are basically 10:55 they're short... kind of devotional thoughts... 10:57 they're about 8 to 10 minutes each... 10:59 and the ideas we want to bring... to people 11:02 different topics of "Spiritual Warfare" 11:05 and make it... so practical... 11:06 that somebody can just pop in a DVD... 11:09 watch the presentation, go through... a Study Guide 11:12 each presentation comes with a Study Guide 11:14 and walk away with it... with things that they can do 11:18 right away... that day... 11:19 that moment to increase their effectiveness 11:22 in the spiritual battles that they face every day... 11:24 that's wonderful... now, and I'm glad you said 11:27 "Spiritual Battles" because there are some people 11:29 who are watching... who don't know 11:31 what "Spiritual Warfare" is... what is it? 11:36 Spiritual Warfare is basically you know, 11:41 Ephesians 6:12 says that "we wrestle not against 11:43 flesh and blood, but against principalities 11:45 against powers... against the rulers of darkness 11:48 in high places... " 11:49 Hmmm... hmmm... you know, every time that we 11:52 walk out of the door... the enemy is trying to 11:55 capture our hears and our minds... 11:57 Who is our enemy? The enemy is the Devil... Satan 11:59 Hmmm... hmmm... and he is basically... 12:03 we're in a great controversy, and if the enemy 12:06 can capture our hearts... have our affections... 12:09 have us pre-occupied with things 12:12 that will distract us from God, then... he is winning the battle 12:16 for our souls... so, even distraction... 12:19 then are issues... and the reason why I'm having 12:22 you say these things is because again... 12:24 many of our viewers might not be familiar with 12:27 some of our terms 12:29 that we just kind of use as we talk... 12:32 Hmmm... hmmm... so, you're saying then... 12:34 that every day... as we leave home... 12:38 the enemy has distractions for us... 12:41 the enemy has things that he wants to use 12:43 to pull us away from God... Hmmm... hmmm... 12:46 this gives us some tactics some strategies 12:50 that we can use... Actually, tactics is just one of 12:54 of the categories I don't know if you can 12:57 see inside of here... we have 4 Categories 13:00 that we put together... okay... 13:01 Tactics are basically how we engage the enemy 13:07 how we engage in the spiritual battles 13:10 that we have to face every day... 13:11 Hmmm... hmmm... we have another Category 13:13 that's called Munitions... Munitions are basically 13:15 the weapons of our warfare... what is it that we use 13:18 to engage in these spiritual battles 13:20 that we face everyday... 13:22 Hmmm... hmmm... We have Reconnaissance 13:26 Reconnaissance is about knowing the enemy... 13:28 knowing the arsenal of tools that he has 13:31 to capture our hearts and our minds... 13:33 to capture our affections basically 13:36 and then the last category is Terrain... 13:40 this is my favorite... That's why it is great to have 13:42 partners right, you guys can work with each other. 13:45 That's great! Terrain is... you can share your thoughts 13:47 Well "Terrain" is looking at where are the battles 13:51 being fought... because ultimately, 13:52 we have to recognize 13:54 we're in the middle of a war... the war between good and evil 13:56 right and wrong, heaven and hell, 13:58 God and the Devil... Hmmm... 14:00 and the battle is over us... Hmmm... 14:03 so, depending on who controls the terrain... 14:06 they gain advantages... you know... 14:08 just like in a war... if you get to high ground 14:10 and you have advantage over the person on the lower ground, 14:12 in the same way... the battlefield for us 14:15 is the mind... Hmmm... 14:16 and whoever maintains the possession of the mind, 14:19 gets all the benefits that that terrain has to offer 14:21 whether it's for good or for evil... 14:23 Ah... so then... what you're saying is that 14:27 there is a battle... over winning you... 14:31 Hmmm... hmmm... somebody is going to win you... 14:34 Absolutely... who is it going to be? 14:36 Right? Let's take a look at this clip 14:38 that you guys did, with "War Plans" 14:48 If any man be in Christ he is a New Creation 14:53 we've all heard this said before... 14:55 but what does it really mean to have a contest 14:59 between a police officer in a uniform 15:01 versus... a random dude on the street? 15:03 Our identity as Christians is sort of like... 15:06 the officer's uniform... only... what we wear... 15:09 is more than just a uniform 15:11 it didn't help these guys out either... 15:13 we are told that the demons 15:16 spoke through the man and said 15:18 there are 3 basic steps that we need 15:20 to put on our new identity they are... 15:24 Claim... Renounce... and Live... 15:33 Wow... that's a tease... right there... 15:35 because now... you want to see more... 15:37 like what are you going to talk about 15:39 and what more is there, and you do some as well... 15:43 don't you Ben? so you guys kind of 15:45 you do some... Ryan... 15:46 and then Ben does some and you put it all together 15:50 and it is... a devotional... 15:52 a kind of a video devotional... Hmmm... hmmm... 15:54 tell us... tell us more... 15:55 We have these... I didn't show these 15:57 but, as you can see we have 2 Study Guides here 16:03 the DVD actually comes with 4 presentations... 16:08 each one is 10 minutes each... but each presentation 16:12 has a study guide that you can go through 16:14 and, it will give you a Biblical foundation 16:16 for what we're talking about 16:18 and take you through the different steps 16:20 that we take you through in the video 16:23 and just really help you to really solidify 16:26 how to engage that particular Tactic 16:29 or to understand that particular Terrain 16:31 or whatever it is that we're talking about 16:34 in that particular video... 16:35 This is great... this is great for 16:37 young people's groups, AY-Adventist Youth, 16:41 Sabbath School... I mean... 16:42 this Study Groups with the Youth... 16:46 this is wonderful... really... I mean... 16:48 and to see you guys doing this... 16:50 it's such a wonderful blessing... 16:52 for us... as older folks it's really wonderful to see 16:59 men on fire for God... I'm loving it... 17:01 and we love that at Dare to Dream too... 17:04 Thank you... What is your vision for 17:06 Unscene Media 17:07 where do you think God... you already know 17:11 where he's brought you from, 17:12 we're going to talk about that in a minute... 17:13 What's your vision... what's your dream? 17:15 Well, we want to... we don't want to just "Produce" 17:19 because we find that ultimately 17:21 for us... we're just 2 guys... 17:23 and as much as we like to do... we can't do everything 17:27 and so our objective is to not just Produce... 17:31 but to train others how to Produce... 17:33 you know, they'll say, "You can give a man a fish... 17:36 and you can feed him for a day... 17:38 or you can teach him how to fish 17:40 and you can feed him for a lifetime... " 17:41 Hmmm... it's that same concept 17:43 except for... you can produce a video 17:46 and capture someone's mind for a day... 17:48 or you can teach them to produce videos 17:51 and they can capture 17:52 everyone else's minds for a lifetime... 17:54 Okay so now... so wait a minute now 17:55 now you're telling us... that the average person 18:00 can produce a video... Absolutely... 18:02 Okay... show me... show me... 18:05 I'm like "Thomas... " 18:07 With technology today it's actually 18:09 fairly easy... to record video... 18:11 I mean... anybody who even has something as simple 18:14 as say... an iPhone... Okay... 18:16 these days... your average iPhone 18:18 will record High Definition Video 18:21 all you need is some way to hold it still 18:23 while you're recording... so... 18:25 if you can get a little... you can even prop it up 18:27 with a book... Okay... 18:29 and this is going to record 18:30 High Definition Video... but the issue is 18:32 that you need to have some good lighting... 18:34 because it's a really small camera... 18:36 Okay... and you don't need a lot 18:38 of money for good lighting... 18:39 I remember I was on a mission in Newfoundland, Canada 18:42 and I needed to set up an interview 18:44 but I didn't have any lighting, so I went to 18:47 Wal-Mart and I bought 2 utility lights... 18:48 I spent $30... and I set them up 18:51 and then I took some tissue paper... 18:53 and covered it over to soften the light... 18:56 and then I started recording... 18:57 when I came back with the footage... 18:59 people thought I had been in a Studio... 19:01 the truth is... you don't need the greatest 19:04 technology... to do this... you can start off 19:07 with something small as even a Camera Phone 19:09 to do your recordings... 19:11 And you just need the skills... Right... 19:13 Absolutely... You just need the information 19:14 to know... how to do it... 19:16 and that's one of the things that we're trying to do... 19:17 I mean... the ultimate goal for our ministry is 19:20 we want to start a training program... 19:22 Okay... our young people can 19:24 come and they can learn the skills 19:26 that they need to be able to produce 19:28 stuff that we're producing... Yes... 19:31 and even right now... we do little workshops 19:33 here and there... in Churches that invite us out 19:36 to teach their youth... their young people... 19:39 how they can use... 19:40 just simple tools... 19:42 like iPhones... like we talked about... 19:44 how to light things with basic... 19:46 with shop lights... Yes... 19:48 you know... things that you can get at Wal-Mart... 19:51 and how to put together movies and short films... 19:54 This is wonderful... with that, we need to have your contact 19:56 information... up on the screen... 19:58 so that... people can go to your website 20:01 and can they invite you from the website 20:03 or they can contact you... 20:05 All the contact information is on the Website... 20:07 That would be great because I'm sure 20:10 that after hearing what you guys are doing... 20:13 people would want to invite you... 20:14 show us some of the things that you brought... 20:16 explain it... 20:17 Right here... I actually have everything 20:20 that I need to produce a video... 20:22 Do you have the camera? Wow... 20:24 Wow... So this is what we shoot... 20:27 we shoot DSLR... and we can get amazing 20:31 video with DSLR these days... 20:34 What's DSLR... for somebody like me 20:36 who has no clue... about that... what's DSLR? 20:38 Basically if you see a camera that looks like this... 20:41 Hmmm... hmmm... it's what they call a... 20:44 Digital... SLR Oh, it's a digital... okay... 20:47 and they get amazing video because of the Chip Size... 20:51 it has a very large Chip... which means... 20:54 that it can take in a lot of "Live information" 20:57 you obviously have some limitations 21:01 that you don't have with a traditional video camera, 21:04 Hmmm... hmmm... but, I'm not going to go into 21:06 technical... just the basics... 21:08 I know because our time is running out and I'm hating that. 21:11 Okay... so go ahead... 21:12 I can show you some of the stuff here... 21:15 Okay... this stuff I carry around 21:17 in my backpack... a roll of Gap Tape... 21:19 Gap Tape comes in handy... 21:21 What do you use it for? 21:23 We can use it for anything... for holding things up 21:26 for taping wires together... Okay... 21:29 the reason we use Gap Tape 21:30 is because it doesn't leave residue on your wires 21:33 like Duct Tape will... if you tape Duct Tape 21:37 down on something and it gets hot... 21:38 it will be like a Slime Monster attacked it... 21:41 Oh... when you're trying it off 21:43 so, we don't use Duct Tape... 21:45 Okay... 21:47 this is another really neat thing to have... 21:49 call it Cinefoil... it's basically just 21:51 black aluminum foil and you can wrap it around 21:54 any kind of light... if you have a shop light 21:57 you can use it to control the direction that your light 22:00 is going in... where do you get that from... 22:02 this... you can order it from a photography store... 22:06 Okay... I actually got this from 22:09 B and H Photo... Okay... 22:11 but yeah... any photography store 22:13 or videography store 22:15 will have stuff like this... Great... 22:17 and, of course, the most important part 22:20 is my Macbook Pro... we use this for editing and... 22:28 We can't leave home without it. Oh... 22:30 So, now, suppose... okay, so... you're telling us 22:34 that if anybody... watching... wants to do 22:38 a movie or a video... this is all that they need... 22:43 to do that... Yup... absolutely... 22:45 Well, they have to have ideas too... 22:47 that's the hard part... 22:48 this stuff is easy... but... 22:50 you know, if you have a good idea, 22:52 then you can make it a reality. Wow... and what's this? 22:57 This is called the Slate... and the number one reason 23:01 why I use this is... sometimes when we record... 23:04 like... for example... I just did a workshop 23:06 down in McAllen, Texas... Hmmm... 23:08 We were training some of the people there 23:10 to shoot with iPhones 23:12 and we did a shoot... 23:13 kind of like... what we're doing right here... 23:15 with 3 people... we had about 4 iPhones... 23:17 each iPhone was focused on a different person 23:20 we had one on a wide shot... 23:21 Will any Smartphone do? 23:24 Not every Smartphone will record full-quality, 23:30 High Definition Video... 23:31 So, you need to make sure that whatever Smartphone 23:34 you have... it records HD... 23:36 Right... Okay... okay... 23:37 And the iPhone is... just happens to be 23:40 a really good... it happens to have a really 23:42 good camera in it... Okay... 23:43 so the reason that I use this is because 23:47 we actually recorded our audio separately... 23:49 which is one thing that makes a big difference 23:53 in the final product... because iPhone is not 23:56 going to record the best audio... 23:57 Ah... but then you have to sync it up... 23:59 We have to sync it together... Yeah... 24:01 So, at the beginning... I mean... people have probably 24:03 seen these in movies... Yeah... Cut... 24:05 Lights... Camera... Action... Right... 24:07 Yeah... yeah... and... 24:09 Okay... and then we use that 24:12 afterwards in Post to sync everything together... 24:15 Wow... This is wonderful! 24:19 you guys have taken the whole idea of 24:22 little becomes much... you know... 24:25 when you place it in the hands of the Lord... 24:27 Amen... and so... that is just 24:29 a wonderful thing... 24:31 What do you want our viewers to take away 24:34 from this interview... each of you... 24:36 What do you want them to know 24:39 when they turn off their television, 24:43 after this interview... what do you them to know 24:45 about you and what you're doing? 24:47 Well, I think for 24:49 for people to walk away with 24:51 and also the mission of our ministry 24:53 is to help people realize that you can do something 24:58 if you feel... that God has impressed 25:01 on your heart that the reality of the spiritual 25:05 battle that we're in... Hmmm... hmmm... 25:08 you can use the tools that you have 25:10 Hmmm... to reach out to your own peers 25:12 to reach out to people around you... 25:15 Hmmm... hmmm... and that's essentially 25:18 what we're seeking to do... even with the "War Plans" series 25:21 we're not just producing a video 25:22 for somebody to sit down on their couch 25:25 with jammies... and have a nice video to watch 25:31 Right... we want to give them a tool 25:33 that they can use... to continue to reach out 25:36 to more people... That's wonderful... 25:39 that's basically what we want people to walk away with 25:43 Yeah... How about you Ben? 25:44 I would say that the thing that I want everyone 25:46 to remember is that... "Dreams can become Realities" 25:49 Hmmm... just about a year ago, 25:51 Ryan and I were first starting 25:54 this ministry and we had a lot of dreams 25:56 we thought... "Oh Man, we could produce DVDs 25:59 and we could do this... and we can train people... 26:01 we can do that... and all of that sounded so great 26:03 and wonderful... but the truth is that 26:06 we had no money... we had no time... 26:08 we had nothing... all we could do was tell people 26:10 that we had a dream... but here we are, 26:13 a year later, and because God has blessed, 26:15 we've been able to turn that dream 26:16 into a reality... Yes... 26:18 so even the name of the Network, the Dare to Dream Network, 26:20 is kind of what we're all about, Praise the Lord... 26:23 dreams can become reality through Christ... 26:25 Amen... amen... and we are thrilled that 26:28 you are going to be, Lord willing, 26:31 a part of our Dare to Dream team... 26:32 we want to thank you so much for all that 26:35 you're doing... for the cause of Christ... 26:39 God will... take us and mold us and use us 26:42 if we just are available... 26:44 if we're just available... 26:46 Well, today you've heard from two young men 26:49 that have been given a mission for the Lord... 26:53 they have, a sense of purpose and focus for God, 26:56 what are you doing for the cause of Christ 26:59 if you haven't figured it out yet, 27:01 then, ask God to show you and then get started 27:04 your life will never be the same again... 27:07 you've seen... how Ryan and Ben 27:10 have just taken all that God has given them 27:14 and they've turned it into a ministry 27:16 that God can use for His glory... 27:18 that's what he wants to do with you... 27:21 He has a plan for you, I know I say this all the time 27:24 but you need to remember 27:26 that God has a plan for you 27:27 a divine plan for you... ask him... 27:30 what does He want you to do... 27:32 and then walk in that plan... 27:34 Well... we've reached the end of another Program... 27:37 Thanks so much for tuning in... 27:40 We really want you to continue 27:42 to take a look at Dare to Dream... 27:43 we have some great things coming up 27:46 in the future and we want you to just 27:48 hang in there with us... know that 27:51 we are really, really trying to find programming 27:54 that works for you... and join us next time 27:58 it just wouldn't be the same without you... |
