00:00:06.05\00:00:08.87

00:00:11.45\00:00:12.64
Hello and welcome
to Urban Report...
00:00:33.62\00:00:35.83
My guests today
are Jesse Zwiker,
00:00:35.87\00:00:38.02
Director of the Wildwood
College of Health Evangelism
00:00:38.05\00:00:41.43
and Shawn Craig,
Online School Coordinator
00:00:41.47\00:00:44.62
of Wildwood College of Health.
00:00:44.66\00:00:46.20
Welcome to Urban Report
guys... Thank you very much...
00:00:46.24\00:00:49.51
Yeah... you guys are here...
so nice to have you here...
00:00:49.54\00:00:52.77
Tell us a little
bit about Wildwood...
00:00:52.81\00:00:55.56
maybe some of our viewers
don't know about Wildwood...
00:00:55.59\00:00:58.80
tell us... what is Wildwood?
00:00:58.83\00:01:00.06
Well, Wildwood is a
Lifestyle Center and Hospital
00:01:00.09\00:01:03.53
located in... near
the Chattanooga area...
00:01:03.56\00:01:05.75
in the North-west
side of Georgia...
00:01:05.78\00:01:07.58
it's a place where
people who have lots of
00:01:07.62\00:01:10.55
chronic diseases like
diabetes, heart disease,
00:01:10.58\00:01:13.48
cancer... they can go and find
00:01:13.52\00:01:15.05
restoration...
00:01:15.09\00:01:16.76
That's
incredible... and they can learn
00:01:16.79\00:01:20.69
like learn how to do
things like cook a certain way
00:01:20.72\00:01:24.06
or prepare foods a certain
way, the idea with Wildwood is
00:01:24.10\00:01:27.80
we don't want to just
treat people with sickness
00:01:27.84\00:01:30.59
we want to
actually give them tools
00:01:30.63\00:01:32.44
so where they can go home
and actually live a lifestyle
00:01:32.48\00:01:35.00
that actually helps them
to well... be healthier...
00:01:35.04\00:01:38.19
And how important is
that, because I think
00:01:38.22\00:01:41.31
often... I used to
practice natural medicine...
00:01:41.34\00:01:43.51
in Dallas and a lot of times
I'd have patients come to me
00:01:43.55\00:01:47.66
and they really
didn't know what to eat...
00:01:47.69\00:01:50.17
like, "What should I
eat?" and then you'd say,
00:01:50.20\00:01:52.61
"Well, choose this
over that" and you show them
00:01:52.64\00:01:54.90
healthy substitutions and
it makes such a difference
00:01:54.94\00:01:58.87
like... what is the average
when a person comes there
00:01:58.91\00:02:02.80
what's the average
day like in Wildwood?
00:02:02.84\00:02:05.06
Well, at
Wildwood they come in...
00:02:05.09\00:02:07.15
they have... they
wake up... really early...
00:02:07.19\00:02:10.20
actually,
compared to most people
00:02:10.23\00:02:11.83
it's a little early...
00:02:11.86\00:02:13.59
How early is "really early?"
00:02:13.62\00:02:14.82
Really early is... I'm
not a morning person...
00:02:14.86\00:02:16.95
you know, a little
secret... me neither...
00:02:16.98\00:02:19.04
Okay... just shush...
00:02:19.07\00:02:20.24
okay...
00:02:20.28\00:02:21.62
the alarm goes off at 6:30
00:02:21.65\00:02:23.73
when I say
"alarm" I don't mean this
00:02:23.77\00:02:24.96
jarring "jing...
jing... jing... "
00:02:24.99\00:02:26.11
they just play nice
music little gently...
00:02:26.15\00:02:28.14
and it comes up a little louder
00:02:28.18\00:02:29.25
and a little
louder... and they just...
00:02:29.29\00:02:30.32
just... ah, makes
you wake up and... Ah...
00:02:30.35\00:02:32.39
and then they have a
little morning devotion
00:02:32.42\00:02:33.90
that Steven...?
00:02:33.93\00:02:36.46
You didn't say what time...
It's usually like 6:30 or 6:45
00:02:36.49\00:02:40.79
Okay... this is how it happens
00:02:40.82\00:02:41.91
and then... at 7
o'clock is breakfast...
00:02:41.94\00:02:43.74
after breakfast they
usually go for a nice
00:02:43.78\00:02:45.51
digestive walk around campus,
around the nice trails...
00:02:45.55\00:02:47.96
it's a really beautiful campus
especially in the spring time...
00:02:47.99\00:02:50.32
right around this
time of the year...
00:02:50.36\00:02:51.99
fall time... it's
beautiful... after that...
00:02:52.02\00:02:53.99
they come back, they
have lifestyle lectures...
00:02:54.02\00:02:55.95
at different times of the day
00:02:55.99\00:02:57.04
and they might have a
hydrotherapy treatment
00:02:57.07\00:02:59.05
where they get a
hot and cold shower or
00:02:59.09\00:03:01.44
a massage or
something of that nature
00:03:01.48\00:03:03.29
they get that...
during the day...
00:03:03.33\00:03:05.08
and they have lunch at
1:00 and again... they have
00:03:05.11\00:03:08.58
the lectures
happening throughout the time...
00:03:08.62\00:03:10.21
they have time
where they can communicate
00:03:10.25\00:03:11.78
with their doctor
about specific health issues
00:03:11.81\00:03:13.88
and they just have a
really... an experience that's
00:03:13.92\00:03:16.44
tailor-made for them...
and see that's so important
00:03:16.47\00:03:18.96
too... because
00:03:18.99\00:03:20.45
one size doesn't fit all
00:03:20.48\00:03:22.94
Exactly... so
what one person needs
00:03:22.98\00:03:25.44
another person
might not necessarily need
00:03:25.47\00:03:27.61
so I love the fact that
you say, that it's tailor-made
00:03:27.64\00:03:30.75
that's really, really
great, that's really customized
00:03:30.79\00:03:33.87
for the person...
one of the things that
00:03:33.90\00:03:36.55
I just thought about
while you were talking was
00:03:36.59\00:03:39.21
how great it would be
if we had some churches
00:03:39.24\00:03:42.06
that would want to
bring some of their folks down
00:03:42.10\00:03:45.20
that are really sick,
that have chronic diseases
00:03:45.23\00:03:48.30
like diabetes or
cancer, or hypertension
00:03:48.33\00:03:50.69
and they could bring them down
00:03:50.72\00:03:52.80
they could do
like a weight-loss deal
00:03:52.83\00:03:55.27
with you
guys... and really learn
00:03:55.30\00:03:57.77
how to make the right choices
00:03:57.80\00:04:00.19
that can help to
either treat and prevent
00:04:00.23\00:04:05.34
a worsening of the
condition, so, I think that...
00:04:05.38\00:04:10.30
that would be a
phenomenal thing...
00:04:10.34\00:04:12.62
It's actually very amazing
what these kinds of things
00:04:12.66\00:04:16.78
can do... it's just
a few days, you know,
00:04:16.82\00:04:19.36
and what... I
mean... I just talked to
00:04:19.39\00:04:21.90
one of the guests that was here
00:04:21.93\00:04:24.04
just a few months
ago... and she came in
00:04:24.07\00:04:26.75
she actually came
in in a wheelchair...
00:04:26.78\00:04:29.39
okay... she couldn't walk
at all she was very obese,
00:04:29.42\00:04:33.19
he has hypertension and
all the related diseases,
00:04:33.22\00:04:36.95
Right... and so, just through...
00:04:36.99\00:04:40.10
I mean, just 25
days that she was there,
00:04:40.13\00:04:43.85
you know, she... at
the end of her time,
00:04:43.88\00:04:47.13
she gave her
testimony, and it was just...
00:04:47.16\00:04:50.19
she started
crying... she was so happy
00:04:50.23\00:04:53.19
and she's like, "I am
walking 3 miles a day...
00:04:53.23\00:04:57.63
after just 25 days...
you know, it's very amazing
00:04:57.66\00:05:02.03
and she came with
20 different pills...
00:05:02.06\00:05:04.38
and she actually was able
reduce it all to one pill,
00:05:04.42\00:05:08.16
from 20 pills... you
know, in just a few days...
00:05:08.20\00:05:11.35
very amazing... you
know, I couldn't believe it...
00:05:11.39\00:05:14.53
How tremendous is
that... that God has given us
00:05:14.57\00:05:17.93
what we need... to
heal... if we would just
00:05:17.96\00:05:21.25
make... just certain
adjustments she came to you
00:05:21.29\00:05:24.83
in a
wheelchair... Hmmm... hmmm...
00:05:24.86\00:05:26.93
and left...
walking 3 miles a day
00:05:26.97\00:05:28.96
That's right...
how phenomenal is that!
00:05:29.00\00:05:31.53
how great... is our God! Amen...
00:05:31.57\00:05:33.88
that everything
that we need, we can get
00:05:33.91\00:05:37.01
if we just give
the body what it needs
00:05:37.05\00:05:40.12
it can heal...
but we don't because
00:05:40.15\00:05:43.16
we're victims of convenience,
and... the sugar monster
00:05:43.19\00:05:49.87
all these things that
really just can take us
00:05:49.90\00:05:53.76
down that disease
path... These are the
00:05:53.80\00:05:56.24
amazing things to me...
00:05:56.27\00:05:57.66
that it's just... it's
simple... natural remedies
00:05:57.69\00:06:01.23
you know... it's like...
it's not an amazing science
00:06:01.27\00:06:04.77
it's just
like... okay... exercise,
00:06:04.81\00:06:07.51
eat a little bit healthy... more
plant-based and different things
00:06:07.55\00:06:10.50
very, very simple, you
know, I mean... just...
00:06:10.53\00:06:13.19
and with those small things
00:06:13.22\00:06:15.80
and we just train them,
00:06:15.84\00:06:18.35
our side of Wildwood...
Wildwood has the hospital
00:06:18.39\00:06:21.43
which is, by the
way, is one of the only,
00:06:21.47\00:06:24.18
if not the only
Natural Remedy Hospital
00:06:24.21\00:06:26.86
that we have in the
States, and even in the world...
00:06:26.89\00:06:30.44
but apart from
that... it has all these other
00:06:30.48\00:06:35.64
sectors with connecting
with our health-food business
00:06:35.68\00:06:38.78
the health-food
store, the herb shop
00:06:38.82\00:06:41.17
and so forth... so
it's really a holistic
00:06:41.20\00:06:43.96
approach... it's
just not teaching them
00:06:44.00\00:06:46.10
how to live, but
then, here are the solutions
00:06:46.14\00:06:48.18
with the organic gardens,
with all these kinds of things
00:06:48.21\00:06:51.70
and so it really
helps... and we actually...
00:06:51.73\00:06:55.36
our specialty...
where we work in... is...
00:06:55.40\00:06:57.63
in the training part
of the thing... right...
00:06:57.66\00:07:00.05
we teach them how to
do the cooking schools and
00:07:00.09\00:07:02.41
health talks and
the hydro and massage
00:07:02.44\00:07:05.43
and all these simple things
00:07:05.47\00:07:07.00
that people can do anywhere...
00:07:07.03\00:07:08.50
not just... we
teach them and train them
00:07:08.53\00:07:10.64
to do it in the Lifestyle
Center and in the Hospital
00:07:10.68\00:07:13.11
but also people can
do it in their homes
00:07:13.15\00:07:15.34
people can do it
with their neighbors
00:07:15.38\00:07:18.01
they can do it to
help people around them
00:07:18.04\00:07:20.60
and be a good
influence and actually lead them
00:07:20.64\00:07:24.45
even to get spiritual
interests and for them to
00:07:24.49\00:07:28.27
want to come to Christ and say,
00:07:28.31\00:07:31.38
"Man, what an amazing
God, He really cares about
00:07:31.42\00:07:34.12
even how I am...
He cares whether I'm
00:07:34.15\00:07:38.10
feeling good or
not... " Right...
00:07:38.14\00:07:39.30
it's very powerful...
very, very amazing...
00:07:39.34\00:07:41.55
That is a powerful
thing, let me ask you
00:07:41.59\00:07:43.74
a little bit about the
hospital before we get into
00:07:43.77\00:07:45.56
the online
training... is the hospital...
00:07:45.60\00:07:48.74
you said it's the
only... or one of the only ones
00:07:48.77\00:07:51.57
of it's kind because
they use natural remedies
00:07:51.60\00:07:54.37
Yes... it's amazing to me that
00:07:54.40\00:07:56.32
you're allowed to do that...
because of the powerful AMA
00:07:56.36\00:08:01.16
and all of that... it's like...
00:08:01.20\00:08:02.52
the fact that you can
use it, so you have MDs
00:08:02.55\00:08:05.30
that do integrated
medicine... That's right...
00:08:05.34\00:08:08.32
that is tremendous...
what a blessing that is
00:08:08.35\00:08:11.26
because, how unusual it
is because most of the time
00:08:11.30\00:08:14.75
you have... if
your physician is an MD
00:08:14.79\00:08:18.78
they're in one
area and then if the
00:08:18.82\00:08:22.74
the NDs... which... I'm an
ND... are in a different area
00:08:22.78\00:08:26.57
so it's kind of like
it's an amazing thing
00:08:26.60\00:08:29.67
that you guys have
a hospital there...
00:08:29.71\00:08:32.70
and they are able to prescribe
medication if necessary
00:08:32.74\00:08:36.22
That's right...
but they deal with
00:08:36.25\00:08:37.79
natural
remedies... That's right...
00:08:37.83\00:08:39.30
how did you get into
this? Well, for me...
00:08:39.34\00:08:43.18
it actually
is... really connected
00:08:43.21\00:08:45.34
to... how I met Jesus... Okay...
00:08:45.38\00:08:48.02
I grew up in
the Adventist Church
00:08:48.05\00:08:50.63
and had awesome
parents... I love them...
00:08:50.66\00:08:52.70
they treated me really
great, but about the age of 13
00:08:52.74\00:08:55.77
I was going to Public
School and I got disillusioned
00:08:55.80\00:08:58.80
with the Faith... and
I kind of got tired of
00:08:58.83\00:09:00.91
going to Sabbath School
and doing all this stuff
00:09:00.94\00:09:02.95
and it seemed to me like I
was a hamster in a wheel...
00:09:02.99\00:09:04.96
so it was
like... "You know what...
00:09:05.00\00:09:06.04
I'm kind of tired of
that... let me just experiment
00:09:06.07\00:09:08.03
and see what's out
there... " and at 13...
00:09:08.07\00:09:09.91
there's not much you
can do, but as time went on,
00:09:09.94\00:09:12.03
years passed... my
access to things grew
00:09:12.06\00:09:14.95
and I started to
go down a darker path
00:09:14.98\00:09:17.40
but even there God
was still trying to
00:09:17.43\00:09:19.65
reach out to me...
still trying to wake me up
00:09:19.68\00:09:21.42
out of the place
I was at, and He,
00:09:21.46\00:09:23.48
in a very miraculous way,
00:09:23.51\00:09:24.92
He allowed me to
feel my need of Him...
00:09:24.95\00:09:27.83
He allowed me to feel
that what I was experiencing
00:09:27.86\00:09:31.74
the worldliness...
it wasn't satisfactory,
00:09:31.78\00:09:34.33
at the end of the day,
00:09:34.36\00:09:35.64
it's never satisfactory
00:09:35.67\00:09:36.88
it's never enough...
you're always wanting
00:09:36.91\00:09:37.99
a little more or
something else, and you think
00:09:38.02\00:09:39.87
that if I try a little
this thing or that thing
00:09:39.91\00:09:41.73
it will satisfy
me... but it never did...
00:09:41.76\00:09:43.32
and so, God... He woke me up
00:09:43.35\00:09:46.48
He shook me...
like, "You know what...
00:09:46.51\00:09:48.10
here I am... I'm here for
you, come experience me... "
00:09:48.13\00:09:52.01
I said, "You know
what... I'm tired of what
00:09:52.05\00:09:53.71
I'm experiencing... I
want something deeper,
00:09:53.75\00:09:55.34
I want something more,
Lord, show me yourself... "
00:09:55.37\00:09:57.47
and... How old were you when you
00:09:57.51\00:09:59.23
came to this
realization? I was about 17...
00:09:59.26\00:10:01.77
Okay... 17... and
God was really good
00:10:01.81\00:10:04.96
to me... like... I
shouldn't be here today...
00:10:04.99\00:10:08.04
Hmmm... if I were
to be very honest but
00:10:08.07\00:10:10.05
God has been very good
to me and He's shielded me
00:10:10.08\00:10:12.44
from so many other
things that I could have been
00:10:12.47\00:10:14.29
I could have been in
jail... I could have been
00:10:14.32\00:10:16.10
in many other places, but...
00:10:16.14\00:10:18.33
God said, "You know, I
want you, for myself... "
00:10:18.36\00:10:21.21
and I said, "Okay,
let's try this... "
00:10:21.25\00:10:22.72
and I tried an experience
with God and I'm so satisfied...
00:10:22.76\00:10:26.23
you come back... how
can it be anything different
00:10:26.27\00:10:29.88
you know, God
puts a God-shaped hole
00:10:29.91\00:10:31.23
in every one of our
hearts and when he fills himself
00:10:31.26\00:10:33.72
when He fills us with Himself...
00:10:33.75\00:10:36.69
that's all we really
want in the first place...
00:10:36.73\00:10:39.39
What is better than
that? What is better than that?
00:10:39.42\00:10:42.05
So you're on this
one path, and you see how
00:10:42.09\00:10:44.58
unfulfilling this one
path is... you're just going...
00:10:44.61\00:10:47.60
because... I tell everybody on
00:10:47.64\00:10:49.91
Urban Report...
all of our viewers...
00:10:49.94\00:10:52.40
I'm always saying,
"God has a plan... "
00:10:52.43\00:10:54.85
Satan has a
plan... That's true...
00:10:54.89\00:10:57.41
Satan's plan is to
take you downward...
00:10:57.45\00:11:00.25
God's plan is to give
you an abundant life...
00:11:00.29\00:11:03.28
so, which one do you
want? well you chose, at first,
00:11:03.31\00:11:06.62
for a while... you
chose to check out Satan's
00:11:06.66\00:11:08.74
plan... and you
saw... what that was doing,
00:11:08.78\00:11:11.65
and so, you decided
to give God a try...
00:11:11.68\00:11:14.49
and when you do that,
there's nothing better than that
00:11:14.52\00:11:18.60
so, for 4 years...
you kind of went down
00:11:18.64\00:11:21.65
that other ground and
you came back to the Lord
00:11:21.69\00:11:24.17
when you were
about 17... Right...
00:11:24.21\00:11:26.52
How did He put
you on a health path?
00:11:26.55\00:11:28.79
Well, it's interesting...
00:11:28.83\00:11:31.13
when I encountered Jesus,
00:11:31.16\00:11:33.40
I became completely
satisfied, but then I realized,
00:11:33.43\00:11:36.42
"You know what...
this is so good for me...
00:11:36.45\00:11:37.84
how can I not
share this with others?"
00:11:37.87\00:11:39.90
Hmmm... hmmm...
and I would try to...
00:11:39.94\00:11:41.36
I would try to share...
I would knock on doors...
00:11:41.40\00:11:42.76
the normal ways of doing
it... and I realized that
00:11:42.79\00:11:45.89
people were not into that...
like I would knock on the door
00:11:45.92\00:11:48.09
and say, "I have a
great book for you"
00:11:48.12\00:11:50.03
Huh... and they would
just close the door on me...
00:11:50.06\00:11:52.09
I'm thinking... "Okay,
what is a more effective
00:11:52.12\00:11:54.08
way for me to communicate this
because it's really good for me,
00:11:54.11\00:11:56.74
I'm enjoying
this... this is exactly
00:11:56.77\00:11:58.51
what my soul needs... and
I'm sure as I read the Bible
00:11:58.55\00:12:00.49
it says... this is
exactly what everyone needs...
00:12:00.53\00:12:01.99
how can I communicate this
far more effectively than I am?"
00:12:02.02\00:12:04.92
then I realized something...
00:12:04.96\00:12:06.32
"People don't
care how much you know
00:12:06.36\00:12:07.96
until they know
how much you care... "
00:12:07.99\00:12:09.56
Right... and so I said,
00:12:09.59\00:12:10.79
"Okay, well how I express
this kind of... this caring...
00:12:10.83\00:12:13.70
this love towards people...?"
00:12:13.73\00:12:15.00
and then... I was reading
and said, "What would Jesus do?"
00:12:15.04\00:12:17.90
look at Matthew 4:23...
Jesus... He went around teaching
00:12:17.94\00:12:21.00
He went around preaching,
and He also went around healing,
00:12:21.04\00:12:24.06
Right... and just
seeing how Jesus did it
00:12:24.09\00:12:26.16
Jesus did far more healing...
if you look at the gospels
00:12:26.19\00:12:29.14
he just would walk
and touch people...
00:12:29.18\00:12:30.94
and just reach out to
people without saying anything
00:12:30.97\00:12:33.04
about the gospel to them...
and people would be like...
00:12:33.07\00:12:35.52
"Jesus... let me know
what you want to say Jesus... "
00:12:35.55\00:12:37.54
they would be interested
in what He had to say...
00:12:37.58\00:12:40.49
and so, when I think of
this, it actually drew me to
00:12:40.53\00:12:43.42
wanting to do health
evangelism, and I looked...
00:12:43.45\00:12:45.85
"Where can I go and get
health evangelism training?"
00:12:45.88\00:12:48.24
and the Lord led
me to Wildwood...
00:12:48.28\00:12:49.95
Wow... and so how long
have you been at Wildwood?
00:12:49.99\00:12:53.33
I came to Wildwood
00:12:53.37\00:12:55.18
to study in 2008...
00:12:55.22\00:12:56.96
I left Wildwood
to do mission work,
00:12:57.00\00:12:59.57
but kind of left
while getting calls
00:12:59.61\00:13:02.74
to go to India, to
Central and South America...
00:13:02.77\00:13:06.97
I've been to several
countries, Australia...
00:13:07.01\00:13:09.00
and so... God... he
led me to different places
00:13:09.04\00:13:11.00
to minister for
Him... That's great...
00:13:11.03\00:13:13.25
What about you Jesse?
Well, I grew up in Switzerland
00:13:13.29\00:13:17.24
I was born and
raised in Switzerland...
00:13:17.27\00:13:18.35
until I was 18 years old,
you know, kind of in the Church
00:13:18.39\00:13:21.97
but Church is fairly...
not very... let's say...
00:13:22.00\00:13:26.45
defined or something like
that, so I didn't really know
00:13:26.49\00:13:28.67
all these
doctrines and all the stuff
00:13:28.70\00:13:30.59
you know so... but
what happened was...
00:13:30.63\00:13:32.66
when I was 18,
the Youth Pastor said,
00:13:32.70\00:13:34.66
"Hey, let's do an
Evangelistic Campaign...
00:13:34.70\00:13:37.38
in the Philippines, you know,
00:13:37.42\00:13:38.61
one of the
pre-fabric-sermon things,
00:13:38.65\00:13:41.93
Yeah... yeah...
yeah... so we went...
00:13:41.97\00:13:43.51
actually my whole family
went, and the whole Youth Group
00:13:43.55\00:13:47.22
and so, my little brother,
16-years-old and me 18...
00:13:47.25\00:13:50.89
we went and preached
this campaign together...
00:13:50.92\00:13:53.40
and so,
everyday, and I didn't know
00:13:53.44\00:13:55.63
any of the stuff,
so, we were just like
00:13:55.66\00:13:57.82
all day... in the hotel...
00:13:57.85\00:14:00.74
trying to know
what I'm trying to say
00:14:00.78\00:14:03.69
tonight to these people...
00:14:03.73\00:14:05.69
and I didn't know what was in...
00:14:05.73\00:14:07.38
it was like... the
2300-day prophecy...
00:14:07.41\00:14:10.11
the most awkward
thing was that...
00:14:10.14\00:14:12.69
the title was...
"It All Adds Up... "
00:14:12.73\00:14:14.57
and nothing added up... I
mean... it was just terrible
00:14:14.60\00:14:17.88
it was like... "What am I
going to teach these people?"
00:14:17.92\00:14:21.17
and so I just prayed
and prayed and prayed...
00:14:21.20\00:14:23.47
in the
evening... and I didn't know
00:14:23.51\00:14:25.89
what I was talking about...
I didn't understand this
00:14:25.93\00:14:28.00
69 weeks and
this... and all of that...
00:14:28.03\00:14:29.84
Yeah... yeah...
yeah... I didn't get it...
00:14:29.87\00:14:31.65
and then I just
started preaching it
00:14:31.68\00:14:33.88
it's just really
what was being said there,
00:14:33.92\00:14:36.38
and suddenly the
Lord opened my brains...
00:14:36.41\00:14:38.84
it just became clear...
00:14:38.88\00:14:40.17
and I was just
understanding everything...
00:14:40.21\00:14:42.44
it was like...
the palm of my hand
00:14:42.47\00:14:43.51
and I'm like whoa...
this is amazing stuff
00:14:43.55\00:14:47.17
so, every
evening... it was like that...
00:14:47.21\00:14:50.79
it was like revelation to me...
00:14:50.83\00:14:51.93
and I was like whoa...
whoa... whoa... and so then...
00:14:51.97\00:14:55.76
I got more excited
about it, even though I was
00:14:55.80\00:14:58.39
actually planning...
even after this campaign...
00:14:58.42\00:15:00.98
I was planning to
go back, and I was...
00:15:01.02\00:15:04.07
I started getting so...
into it I started asking for
00:15:04.10\00:15:07.05
baptismal appeals
and all that stuff
00:15:07.08\00:15:10.33
and I was not even
baptized, and so, it was just...
00:15:10.36\00:15:13.17
it was just really a
very interesting situation...
00:15:13.20\00:15:16.18
so, when I came back, I
was actually still planning
00:15:16.21\00:15:19.14
to go to Berklee
College of Jazz to study drum...
00:15:19.17\00:15:21.93
I was a drummer I
would do tours in Switzerland
00:15:21.97\00:15:24.95
and Germany and in the
surrounding areas in Europe
00:15:24.98\00:15:27.97
and they had
offered me this scholarship
00:15:28.00\00:15:30.72
to go to Berklee...
but... I had one more week in my
00:15:30.76\00:15:35.86
summer vacation...
and so we went to this
00:15:35.90\00:15:38.82
Prophecy Seminar... my
parents wanted to go...
00:15:38.86\00:15:40.61
to the Prophecy
seminar... I'm like,
00:15:40.64\00:15:41.71
"Sure... all
right... let's just go... "
00:15:41.74\00:15:43.63
and we studied Daniel 11
00:15:43.67\00:15:47.43
and Daniel 8 and Revelation
00:15:47.46\00:15:51.22
and all the stuff... and
I'm just like... "Whoa... "
00:15:51.25\00:15:54.19
Final Events...
everything that's going on...
00:15:54.22\00:15:56.47
Oh... what is coming
about... and all this stuff
00:15:56.50\00:15:58.72
and I'm like...
"Man, this is exciting... "
00:15:58.75\00:16:00.97
and I'm like... "I
don't want to live a normal
00:16:01.00\00:16:03.18
boring life like
everybody else... "
00:16:03.22\00:16:04.93
I wanted to do
something exciting
00:16:04.97\00:16:06.58
something that will
advance the work of God
00:16:06.62\00:16:08.95
and really help people
and do something for good...
00:16:08.98\00:16:11.96
so, I'm like... "Oh...
get rid of this stuff...
00:16:12.00\00:16:14.98
I want to do mission
work... " so, I went to Norway
00:16:15.02\00:16:17.97
to get trained at the
European Bible School...
00:16:18.00\00:16:20.96
over there...
00:16:20.99\00:16:22.74
and in Medical
Missionary Training...
00:16:22.77\00:16:25.08
and Bible work and Leadership
00:16:25.11\00:16:26.41
and I met a friend
from Honduras who was there
00:16:26.44\00:16:30.03
and he wanted to
go to Central America
00:16:30.07\00:16:31.76
to start a school... to start a
00:16:31.80\00:16:33.31
the Central
American Bible School
00:16:33.35\00:16:34.52
because there was no
missionary training over there
00:16:34.55\00:16:36.31
and so... well he
went back over there...
00:16:36.35\00:16:40.01
I went to Austria... to
the Adventist Seminary in
00:16:40.04\00:16:43.39
Bogenhofen in
Austria... to study theology...
00:16:43.42\00:16:47.94
and so... he got this property
donated to him in Honduras
00:16:47.97\00:16:51.80
and he's like
"Jesse... come and help me out
00:16:51.84\00:16:54.47
I'm all alone... I got
this property donated...
00:16:54.51\00:16:56.75
you got to help
me... " and so, I'm like...
00:16:56.78\00:16:59.01
"What am I going
to do?" so I prayed...
00:16:59.05\00:17:01.24
it's like
Honduras... no electricity...
00:17:01.28\00:17:03.39
not the whole Country...
00:17:03.43\00:17:04.56
but the property
that was donated...
00:17:04.59\00:17:07.43
right... Right...
00:17:07.46\00:17:08.60
and so I'm just like
"Oh... what am I going to do?"
00:17:08.63\00:17:12.44
so the Lord led me to go there,
00:17:12.47\00:17:14.21
and so, we went and
started this project...
00:17:14.24\00:17:16.40
called Vida Nacional...
00:17:16.44\00:17:17.48
and I was there for
about 3 to 4 years...
00:17:17.51\00:17:20.61
just trying to
figure out legal papers...
00:17:20.64\00:17:23.71
I was 20-years-old...
he was 20-years-old...
00:17:23.74\00:17:25.10
we had no clue what
we were doing... right...
00:17:25.13\00:17:26.90
and the Lord just
opened all the doors
00:17:26.93\00:17:28.90
and miracles... I mean...
00:17:28.93\00:17:30.10
millions of dollars
of miracles happened
00:17:30.13\00:17:32.39
and we started
an Elementary School
00:17:32.42\00:17:34.57
for the Outreach... for the kids
00:17:34.61\00:17:36.69
a bilingual Elementary
School the Missionary School
00:17:36.73\00:17:39.18
we planted a Church
and we did different...
00:17:39.22\00:17:42.56
like agricultural
industries to support the
00:17:42.59\00:17:44.45
whole ministry and
all this kind of thing...
00:17:44.49\00:17:46.14
so we got really into
it, we got Wildwood actually
00:17:46.17\00:17:49.50
to come down to do
mission trips and so forth
00:17:49.54\00:17:52.17
and so it was later... it
was like 3 to 4 years later
00:17:52.21\00:17:55.48
after having gone
through this that Wildwood...
00:17:55.52\00:17:58.79
the Director of
the College there...
00:17:58.83\00:18:01.26
his dad got cancer...
and so there was this opening
00:18:01.29\00:18:05.49
and so, they were
praying and so they decided
00:18:05.52\00:18:07.99
to give me a call
to come to Wildwood...
00:18:08.02\00:18:09.54
this was about three...
three-and-a-half years ago...
00:18:09.58\00:18:12.75
that this happened so... so
then... I answered that call
00:18:12.79\00:18:15.93
so, I've been very, very blessed
00:18:15.96\00:18:18.37
to be at Wildwood and do the
work that we're doing there...
00:18:18.40\00:18:22.18
training... now with
this online training...
00:18:22.22\00:18:24.84
it's exploding... it's
very amazing what's going on...
00:18:24.87\00:18:28.02
And I want to talk about
that but I just want to say that
00:18:28.06\00:18:31.22
look at God and look at
how He's put you guys together
00:18:31.25\00:18:34.37
you're
passionate about what you do
00:18:34.41\00:18:36.52
you're passionate
about the work of God
00:18:36.55\00:18:38.59
and you're passionate
about helping people...
00:18:38.63\00:18:41.18
not only to get
healthy... but training people
00:18:41.22\00:18:43.74
to help people get healthy...
00:18:43.77\00:18:45.30
Amen... and that is just...
00:18:45.34\00:18:46.80
that's just a
wonderful, wonderful thing...
00:18:46.84\00:18:49.27
tell us about the online program
because that's the way to go
00:18:49.30\00:18:54.59
I mean... you're in your house,
00:18:54.63\00:18:56.38
you don't have
to leave your house
00:18:56.42\00:18:58.06
you just go online and
you do what you need to do...
00:18:58.10\00:19:01.45
Well, Wildwood has been
operating for about 70 years
00:19:01.48\00:19:04.80
and we've created
this on-campus place...
00:19:04.84\00:19:07.54
because we felt like it
was on-campus educational place
00:19:07.57\00:19:09.70
but we felt that the
work we're doing in the Center
00:19:09.73\00:19:11.82
should be replicated elsewhere
00:19:11.85\00:19:13.22
so this is why... this
is the kind of the burden
00:19:13.26\00:19:15.01
of why education
started at Wildwood
00:19:15.04\00:19:16.50
because we wanted
the work replicated...
00:19:16.53\00:19:17.96
Right... so,
when we started up the
00:19:17.99\00:19:20.32
school we were only able
to serve about 70 or so people
00:19:20.35\00:19:23.19
at maximum...
we were thinking...
00:19:23.22\00:19:24.89
"Well, how can we expand
this?" so we're thinking...
00:19:24.92\00:19:27.44
"Well, let's
create an online course
00:19:27.47\00:19:29.24
and so what we decided was
00:19:29.28\00:19:30.44
that we were
going to record classes
00:19:30.48\00:19:31.68
and we were going to
get the teachers in there
00:19:31.71\00:19:33.71
making quizzes online
and so what we did was...
00:19:33.74\00:19:35.67
we created this really awesome
platform where you have HD video
00:19:35.70\00:19:39.40
you are watching classes
almost exactly like you would
00:19:39.44\00:19:41.89
if you were at Wildwood so
you're not missing anything
00:19:41.93\00:19:44.11
Wow... and you
have these quizzes
00:19:44.15\00:19:46.33
that are
tailor-made for each class
00:19:46.37\00:19:48.49
and it really helps you to
get what you're understanding
00:19:48.52\00:19:50.80
and beyond that...
you're learning things like
00:19:50.83\00:19:52.78
"How to do Health
Evangelism in the Community"
00:19:52.81\00:19:54.73
for instance...
health lectures...
00:19:54.76\00:19:57.05
to different people-groups
on how to do Health Expos...
00:19:57.08\00:20:00.95
how to do Cooking Schools,
Evangelistic Cooking Schools
00:20:00.99\00:20:04.82
how to... just
the whole spectrum of
00:20:04.86\00:20:07.04
health evangelism
disease and treatment
00:20:07.07\00:20:09.58
the common
diseases so a friend of mine
00:20:09.61\00:20:11.58
told me this very
interesting phrase...
00:20:11.61\00:20:13.65
he says... "Common
diseases occur commonly"
00:20:13.69\00:20:15.65
so why not learn the
most common diseases then...
00:20:15.69\00:20:19.01
and their
treatment with natural things
00:20:19.04\00:20:20.75
and then he said,
lifestyle medicine...
00:20:20.78\00:20:22.41
how things work... in
terms of your body and
00:20:22.45\00:20:24.79
lifestyle... and
just the whole spectrum.
00:20:24.82\00:20:27.13
It was very amazing for me...
00:20:27.16\00:20:29.18
the whole "how we started
the whole online school... "
00:20:29.22\00:20:32.88
it was really a
divine... it was a divine idea
00:20:32.92\00:20:36.35
because people were
calling us, they were like,
00:20:36.38\00:20:39.74
"We want to get trained...
" and maybe it was a mother
00:20:39.78\00:20:44.00
for the first one it was like...
00:20:44.04\00:20:45.36
it was a mother
with kids, and a husband
00:20:45.39\00:20:47.88
and she's like...
"Man, I really want to get
00:20:47.92\00:20:50.38
this training...
I want get some...
00:20:50.41\00:20:51.48
learn these natural
remedies and the hydro-massage
00:20:51.52\00:20:54.10
but I can't leave
my... just drop my kids and
00:20:54.14\00:20:57.42
drop my job and
just come for six months
00:20:57.46\00:21:00.04
to go to
Wildwood... it's impossible...
00:21:00.07\00:21:02.62
so guys... you
got to help us out
00:21:02.66\00:21:05.63
and so, we're like
praying and thinking
00:21:05.67\00:21:08.42
and we're
like... and one night...
00:21:08.45\00:21:10.56
this thought came
to me it's like...
00:21:10.59\00:21:12.38
"We got to take this
training to them... "
00:21:12.41\00:21:15.51
we got to break
these barriers that we have
00:21:15.55\00:21:18.57
of tradition... just
tradition, and so, we came up...
00:21:18.61\00:21:23.46
that's how we
came up with this idea
00:21:23.49\00:21:25.47
it's like... "Whoa,
if we do this online...
00:21:25.51\00:21:27.52
they can do it
in their community,
00:21:27.56\00:21:29.40
they could do it in their Church
00:21:29.44\00:21:31.22
they could do
it in their setting
00:21:31.25\00:21:32.97
and do the coaching
and do the health talks
00:21:33.00\00:21:35.31
and do all these kind of things
00:21:35.35\00:21:36.47
in a practical
way, in their community,
00:21:36.51\00:21:38.75
and they'll be
even more effective
00:21:38.78\00:21:40.04
and they can still
come... " then what they do is
00:21:40.07\00:21:41.99
they come for the practicals..
for the hydro and the massage
00:21:42.02\00:21:46.29
and so forth...
they still come on campus
00:21:46.32\00:21:48.06
so they still get the
experience of working in a
00:21:48.10\00:21:51.76
hydro-facility... and
seeing the whole works...
00:21:51.79\00:21:55.41
The clinical
aspect of it... Exactly...
00:21:55.45\00:21:57.41
Yeah... and so they
get... all of the...
00:21:57.45\00:21:59.42
they learn it at
home and they do it with
00:21:59.45\00:22:01.37
their friends and
with their husbands
00:22:01.41\00:22:03.26
like they learn how
to do the massage strokes
00:22:03.29\00:22:05.19
and then guess who
they have to practice on?
00:22:05.22\00:22:07.22
well, that's the homework...
practice on your husband
00:22:07.25\00:22:09.22
practice on your
kids, and so they learn
00:22:09.25\00:22:12.72
and they learn all the
poultices and they learn
00:22:12.75\00:22:14.77
all these other stuff...
so, it's very, very practical
00:22:14.80\00:22:17.19
sometimes we think...
online is not so practical
00:22:17.22\00:22:20.42
but actually it's
even more practical
00:22:20.46\00:22:22.24
because you're
in a real setting...
00:22:22.27\00:22:23.98
you're in your home
setting in your community
00:22:24.02\00:22:26.52
and you can apply
it... right there...
00:22:26.56\00:22:28.09
so it's very amazing...
and it's actually cheaper
00:22:28.12\00:22:32.59
than going even on
campus, so it's really a win-win
00:22:32.63\00:22:37.16
for all the... for everybody...
00:22:37.19\00:22:39.04
That is a
win-win... it's cheaper...
00:22:39.07\00:22:41.41
it's so convenient... Exactly...
00:22:41.45\00:22:43.72
it's so doable... the
nice thing about it is that
00:22:43.75\00:22:47.68
you can do it
at your own pace...
00:22:47.72\00:22:49.42
and there are no boundaries,
it's been an explosion
00:22:49.46\00:22:52.80
around the world...
00:22:52.84\00:22:54.01
from 70 students
that we can do a year...
00:22:54.05\00:22:57.30
now suddenly it's
over 300... I mean...
00:22:57.33\00:23:00.05
it's just exploded like
that... That's tremendous...
00:23:00.09\00:23:02.83
and I think we have a role
in of one of the students...
00:23:02.87\00:23:05.58
set it up for us...
Yeah, well, this lady
00:23:05.61\00:23:08.19
actually, she
started taking the Program
00:23:08.22\00:23:10.92
not just to get
trained to be able to help
00:23:10.96\00:23:13.63
in the Community... but also...
00:23:13.66\00:23:15.72
for it to help herself, so
this lady actually lost like
00:23:15.76\00:23:21.34
over 70 pounds just
by taking the Program and
00:23:21.37\00:23:23.97
following the
Program... what she's learning
00:23:24.00\00:23:26.06
in Physiology... and
these kinds of things
00:23:26.09\00:23:28.12
Let's watch...
let's take a look...
00:23:28.15\00:23:30.14
You know I've
always been an Adventist...
00:23:33.73\00:23:36.21
and at some point in my life
I wanted to know more about God
00:23:36.24\00:23:42.27
I wanted to serve Him more...
00:23:42.30\00:23:44.19
I wanted to know how to
walk with Him... hear His voice
00:23:44.23\00:23:48.31
and I started
praying about it, by then...
00:23:48.34\00:23:51.24
I had never known
about Medical Missionary...
00:23:51.27\00:23:53.63
but I just wanted to use
my profession to serve people,
00:23:53.67\00:23:56.52
to serve... you know...
00:23:56.55\00:23:57.78
so I hear... the Holy
Spirit led me to one village
00:23:57.82\00:24:02.17
I talked to the Chief...
that's the Chief of the village
00:24:02.21\00:24:05.98
and then he brought his people
00:24:06.02\00:24:07.50
and I started talking with them
00:24:07.53\00:24:08.94
sharing some of
the things I know...
00:24:08.98\00:24:11.28
and then... when they are sick,
00:24:11.32\00:24:12.94
like... if they have headache
00:24:12.97\00:24:14.52
I would give them some drugs
using the conventional medicine
00:24:14.56\00:24:18.47
that's what I knew then,
but I wasn't feeling fulfilled,
00:24:18.51\00:24:22.15
I wasn't happy
about it, and then...
00:24:22.19\00:24:25.42
about two or
three weeks after that
00:24:25.46\00:24:28.63
there came "Light's
Program" in my Church
00:24:28.66\00:24:33.63
there was this Manual Agayo
working with the Rodney Bose
00:24:33.66\00:24:39.19
and so, they had
a one-month training
00:24:39.22\00:24:42.57
in my Church... so, I
took leave from my office
00:24:42.60\00:24:47.14
and participated in the
training so Rodney encouraged me
00:24:47.17\00:24:52.64
to get into the
six-months online course...
00:24:52.67\00:24:56.96
the online program has
actually changed my life,
00:24:56.99\00:25:00.21
I was this big...
106 Kg... that's about
00:25:00.24\00:25:04.36
230 pounds... but I am now 70 Kg
00:25:04.40\00:25:08.12
that's about 160
pounds... people around me
00:25:08.15\00:25:15.01
just see me as a
different person,
00:25:15.04\00:25:17.44
they keep asking me
"What have you done?"
00:25:17.48\00:25:19.73
I was looking older
before, but now, I look younger,
00:25:19.77\00:25:24.60
and my friends keep asking me
00:25:24.64\00:25:27.28
"What are you doing to
yourself you look younger... "
00:25:27.31\00:25:30.58
I could climb the stairs
without panting... huh... huh
00:25:30.61\00:25:33.84
I could do... so many things...
00:25:33.88\00:25:36.72
my office is on the
10th floor, and sometimes
00:25:36.76\00:25:39.39
there are no elevators,
and when there are no elevators
00:25:39.43\00:25:41.67
I'll stay down
there waiting for them...
00:25:41.71\00:25:43.70
but by the time I
finished the Program,
00:25:43.74\00:25:45.67
and I got to the office
and there were no elevators
00:25:45.70\00:25:48.48
I would just
climb... to the 10th floor...
00:25:48.52\00:25:50.85
and I'll be fine... I
had been battling with this
00:25:50.89\00:25:53.70
weight for a long
time, I had to skip my meals
00:25:53.73\00:25:56.51
I got ulcer,
00:25:56.54\00:25:59.00
because of it... but
00:25:59.03\00:26:01.04
by the time I
finished this Program,
00:26:01.07\00:26:03.68
I got healed...
so I want to do this,
00:26:03.71\00:26:06.55
I want to share it
with people, and I want...
00:26:06.59\00:26:09.92
I just want God's
name to be glorified...
00:26:09.95\00:26:12.64
because He did a
good job in my life...
00:26:12.68\00:26:15.34
Wow, that is
wonderful... did you...
00:26:24.43\00:26:27.38
she was tearing up... I
mean look at how moved she was,
00:26:27.42\00:26:31.12
by what happened
with her own life...
00:26:31.16\00:26:33.82
not just what she
could do for others but
00:26:33.85\00:26:36.48
how God blessed
her... Hmmm... hmmm...
00:26:36.52\00:26:37.79
Give us a closing
thought 30 seconds or less
00:26:37.83\00:26:42.10
both of you... on why people
00:26:42.14\00:26:44.24
should take
advantage of this Program...
00:26:44.28\00:26:46.35
look to that camera
00:26:46.39\00:26:47.54
and tell us why
people should take advantage
00:26:47.58\00:26:50.73
of this Program... 30 seconds...
00:26:50.77\00:26:53.84
God has given us a call
to be medical missionaries
00:26:53.88\00:26:58.51
in Testimonies to the Church,
Volume 7, page 62 it says...
00:26:58.54\00:27:02.09
"We have come to a time
where every member of the Church
00:27:02.12\00:27:04.12
should take over the
medical missionary work"
00:27:04.16\00:27:05.65
and this is a
very important call
00:27:05.68\00:27:07.95
because this is a way for
us to touch people's hearts
00:27:07.98\00:27:10.19
just the way Jesus
touched people's hearts...
00:27:10.23\00:27:12.62
so I would just say if
you want more information
00:27:12.66\00:27:14.93

just go to our website
00:27:14.96\00:27:16.57

and just see how you can
become a Medical Missionary
00:27:17.87\00:27:21.51
for Jesus...
00:27:21.54\00:27:23.03
Jesse... I just want to say that
00:27:23.07\00:27:25.24
I believe that time
is short we are living
00:27:25.28\00:27:27.81
in the time of the end,
we don't have time to just
00:27:27.84\00:27:30.49
live a normal, boring life, I
think it's time to get trained
00:27:30.53\00:27:36.28
and time to start
going into the direction
00:27:36.32\00:27:39.65
that God really
wants us to go on
00:27:39.68\00:27:41.60
and want to finish the work...
00:27:41.63\00:27:43.56
so, I want to
encourage everybody
00:27:43.60\00:27:45.46
to just get trained
00:27:45.50\00:27:47.23
in any way possible
00:27:47.26\00:27:48.93
and come to the
website and do it...
00:27:48.96\00:27:50.84
and let's finish
the work together...
