Thank you very much... 00:00:46.14\00:00:49.41 Yeah... you guys are here... so nice to have you here... 00:00:49.44\00:00:52.68 Tell us a little bit about Wildwood... 00:00:52.71\00:00:55.45 maybe some of our viewers don't know about Wildwood... 00:00:55.48\00:00:58.69 tell us... what is Wildwood? 00:00:58.72\00:00:59.79 Well, Wildwood is a Lifestyle Center and Hospital 00:00:59.82\00:01:03.43 located in... near the Chattanooga area... 00:01:03.46\00:01:05.66 in the North-west side of Georgia... 00:01:05.69\00:01:07.50 it's a place where people who have lots of 00:01:07.50\00:01:10.43 chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, 00:01:10.47\00:01:13.37 cancer... they can go and find 00:01:13.40\00:01:14.94 restoration... 00:01:14.97\00:01:16.64 That's incredible... and they can learn 00:01:16.67\00:01:20.58 like learn how to do things like cook a certain way 00:01:20.61\00:01:23.98 or prepare foods a certain way, the idea with Wildwood is 00:01:24.01\00:01:27.72 we don't want to just treat people with sickness 00:01:27.75\00:01:30.49 we want to actually give them tools 00:01:30.52\00:01:32.35 so where they can go home and actually live a lifestyle 00:01:32.39\00:01:34.92 that actually helps them to well... be healthier... 00:01:34.96\00:01:38.09 And how important is that, because I think 00:01:38.13\00:01:41.20 often... I used to practice natural medicine... 00:01:41.23\00:01:43.40 in Dallas and a lot of times I'd have patients come to me 00:01:43.43\00:01:47.54 and they really didn't know what to eat... 00:01:47.57\00:01:50.07 like, "What should I eat?" and then you'd say, 00:01:50.11\00:01:52.51 "Well, choose this over that" and you show them 00:01:52.54\00:01:54.81 healthy substitutions and it makes such a difference 00:01:54.84\00:01:58.78 like... what is the average when a person comes there 00:01:58.81\00:02:02.72 what's the average day like in Wildwood? 00:02:02.75\00:02:04.95 Well, at Wildwood they come in... 00:02:04.99\00:02:07.06 they have... they wake up... really early... 00:02:07.09\00:02:10.09 actually, compared to most people 00:02:10.13\00:02:11.73 it's a little early... 00:02:11.76\00:02:13.50 How early is "really early?" 00:02:13.53\00:02:14.73 Really early is... I'm not a morning person... 00:02:14.73\00:02:16.83 you know, a little secret... me neither... 00:02:16.87\00:02:18.93 Okay... just shush... 00:02:18.97\00:02:20.14 okay... 00:02:20.17\00:02:21.50 the alarm goes off at 6:30 00:02:21.54\00:02:23.64 when I say "alarm" I don't mean this 00:02:23.67\00:02:24.84 jarring "jing... jing... jing... " 00:02:24.87\00:02:26.01 they just play nice music little gently... 00:02:26.04\00:02:28.04 and it comes up a little louder 00:02:28.08\00:02:29.14 and a little louder... and they just... 00:02:29.18\00:02:30.21 just... ah, makes you wake up and... Ah... 00:02:30.25\00:02:32.28 and then they have a little morning devotion 00:02:32.31\00:02:33.78 that Steven...? 00:02:33.82\00:02:36.35 You didn't say what time... It's usually like 6:30 or 6:45 00:02:36.38\00:02:40.69 Okay... this is how it happens 00:02:40.72\00:02:41.82 and then... at 7 o'clock is breakfast... 00:02:41.86\00:02:43.66 after breakfast they usually go for a nice 00:02:43.69\00:02:45.43 digestive walk around campus, around the nice trails... 00:02:45.46\00:02:47.86 it's a really beautiful campus especially in the spring time... 00:02:47.86\00:02:50.20 right around this time of the year... 00:02:50.23\00:02:51.87 fall time... it's beautiful... after that... 00:02:51.90\00:02:53.87 they come back, they have lifestyle lectures... 00:02:53.90\00:02:55.84 at different times of the day 00:02:55.87\00:02:56.84 and they might have a hydrotherapy treatment 00:02:56.87\00:02:58.94 where they get a hot and cold shower or 00:02:58.97\00:03:01.34 a massage or something of that nature 00:03:01.38\00:03:03.18 they get that... during the day... 00:03:03.21\00:03:04.98 and they have lunch at 1:00 and again... they have 00:03:05.01\00:03:08.48 the lectures happening throughout the time... 00:03:08.52\00:03:10.12 they have time where they can communicate 00:03:10.15\00:03:11.69 with their doctor about specific health issues 00:03:11.72\00:03:13.79 and they just have a really... an experience that's 00:03:13.82\00:03:16.36 tailor-made for them... and see that's so important 00:03:16.39\00:03:18.86 too... because 00:03:18.89\00:03:20.36 one size doesn't fit all 00:03:20.40\00:03:22.83 Exactly... so what one person needs 00:03:22.86\00:03:25.33 another person might not necessarily need 00:03:25.37\00:03:27.50 so I love the fact that you say, that it's tailor-made 00:03:27.54\00:03:30.64 that's really, really great, that's really customized 00:03:30.67\00:03:33.78 for the person... one of the things that 00:03:33.81\00:03:36.44 I just thought about while you were talking was 00:03:36.48\00:03:39.11 how great it would be if we had some churches 00:03:39.15\00:03:41.98 that would want to bring some of their folks down 00:03:42.02\00:03:45.09 that are really sick, that have chronic diseases 00:03:45.12\00:03:48.19 like diabetes or cancer, or hypertension 00:03:48.22\00:03:50.59 and they could bring them down 00:03:50.63\00:03:52.69 they could do like a weight-loss deal 00:03:52.73\00:03:55.16 with you guys... and really learn 00:03:55.20\00:03:57.67 how to make the right choices 00:03:57.70\00:04:00.07 that can help to either treat and prevent 00:04:00.10\00:04:05.24 a worsening of the condition, so, I think that... 00:04:05.27\00:04:10.21 that would be a phenomenal thing... 00:04:10.25\00:04:12.51 It's actually very amazing what these kinds of things 00:04:12.55\00:04:16.69 can do... it's just a few days, you know, 00:04:16.72\00:04:19.25 and what... I mean... I just talked to 00:04:19.29\00:04:21.79 one of the guests that was here 00:04:21.82\00:04:23.96 just a few months ago... and she came in 00:04:23.99\00:04:26.66 she actually came in in a wheelchair... 00:04:26.70\00:04:29.26 okay... she couldn't walk at all she was very obese, 00:04:29.30\00:04:33.07 he has hypertension and all the related diseases, 00:04:33.10\00:04:36.84 Right... and so, just through... 00:04:36.87\00:04:39.97 I mean, just 25 days that she was there, 00:04:40.01\00:04:43.75 you know, she... at the end of her time, 00:04:43.78\00:04:47.02 she gave her testimony, and it was just... 00:04:47.05\00:04:50.09 she started crying... she was so happy 00:04:50.12\00:04:53.09 and she's like, "I am walking 3 miles a day... 00:04:53.12\00:04:57.53 after just 25 days... you know, it's very amazing 00:04:57.56\00:05:01.90 and she came with 20 different pills... 00:05:01.93\00:05:04.27 and she actually was able reduce it all to one pill, 00:05:04.30\00:05:08.07 from 20 pills... you know, in just a few days... 00:05:08.10\00:05:11.24 very amazing... you know, I couldn't believe it... 00:05:11.27\00:05:14.44 How tremendous is that... that God has given us 00:05:14.48\00:05:17.81 what we need... to heal... if we would just 00:05:17.85\00:05:21.15 make... just certain adjustments she came to you 00:05:21.18\00:05:24.72 in a wheelchair...

Amen... 00:05:31.49\00:05:33.80 that everything that we need, we can get 00:05:33.83\00:05:36.90 if we just give the body what it needs 00:05:36.93\00:05:40.00 it can heal... but we don't because 00:05:40.04\00:05:43.04 we're victims of convenience, and... the sugar monster 00:05:43.07\00:05:49.78 all these things that really just can take us 00:05:49.81\00:05:53.68 down that disease path... These are the 00:05:53.72\00:05:56.15 amazing things to me... 00:05:56.18\00:05:57.55 that it's just... it's simple... natural remedies 00:05:57.59\00:06:01.16 you know... it's like... it's not an amazing science 00:06:01.19\00:06:04.69 it's just like... okay... exercise, 00:06:04.73\00:06:07.40 eat a little bit healthy... more plant-based and different things 00:06:07.46\00:06:10.37 very, very simple, you know, I mean... just... 00:06:10.40\00:06:13.07 and with those small things 00:06:13.10\00:06:15.70 and we just train them, 00:06:15.74\00:06:18.24 our side of Wildwood... Wildwood has the hospital 00:06:18.27\00:06:21.34 which is, by the way, is one of the only, 00:06:21.38\00:06:24.08 if not the only Natural Remedy Hospital 00:06:24.11\00:06:26.75 that we have in the States, and even in the world... 00:06:26.78\00:06:30.35 but apart from that... it has all these other 00:06:30.39\00:06:35.56 sectors with connecting with our health-food business 00:06:35.59\00:06:38.69 the health-food store, the herb shop 00:06:38.73\00:06:41.06 and so forth... so it's really a holistic 00:06:41.10\00:06:43.87 approach... it's just not teaching them 00:06:43.90\00:06:46.00 how to live, but then, here are the solutions 00:06:46.03\00:06:48.07 with the organic gardens, with all these kinds of things 00:06:48.10\00:06:51.57 and so it really helps... and we actually... 00:06:51.61\00:06:55.28 our specialty... where we work in... is... 00:06:55.31\00:06:57.51 in the training part of the thing... right... 00:06:57.55\00:06:59.88 we teach them how to do the cooking schools and 00:06:59.91\00:07:02.32 health talks and the hydro and massage 00:07:02.35\00:07:05.35 and all these simple things 00:07:05.39\00:07:06.89 that people can do anywhere... 00:07:06.92\00:07:08.39 not just... we teach them and train them 00:07:08.42\00:07:10.56 to do it in the Lifestyle Center and in the Hospital 00:07:10.59\00:07:13.03 but also people can do it in their homes 00:07:13.06\00:07:15.23 people can do it with their neighbors 00:07:15.26\00:07:17.90 they can do it to help people around them 00:07:17.93\00:07:20.50 and be a good influence and actually lead them 00:07:20.54\00:07:24.34 even to get spiritual interests and for them to 00:07:24.37\00:07:28.18 want to come to Christ and say, 00:07:28.21\00:07:31.28 "Man, what an amazing God, He really cares about 00:07:31.31\00:07:34.02 even how I am... He cares whether I'm 00:07:34.05\00:07:38.02 feeling good or not... " Right... 00:07:38.05\00:07:39.22 it's very powerful... very, very amazing... 00:07:39.25\00:07:41.46 That is a powerful thing, let me ask you 00:07:41.49\00:07:43.66 a little bit about the hospital before we get into 00:07:43.69\00:07:45.49 the online training... is the hospital... 00:07:45.53\00:07:48.63 you said it's the only... or one of the only ones 00:07:48.66\00:07:51.47 of it's kind because they use natural remedies 00:07:51.50\00:07:54.27 Yes... it's amazing to me that 00:07:54.30\00:07:56.20 you're allowed to do that... because of the powerful AMA 00:07:56.24\00:08:01.08 and all of that... it's like... 00:08:01.11\00:08:02.41 the fact that you can use it, so you have MDs 00:08:02.44\00:08:05.21 that do integrated medicine... That's right... 00:08:05.25\00:08:08.22 that is tremendous... what a blessing that is 00:08:08.25\00:08:11.19 because, how unusual it is because most of the time 00:08:11.22\00:08:14.66 you have... if your physician is an MD 00:08:14.69\00:08:18.69 they're in one area and then if the 00:08:18.73\00:08:22.63 the NDs... which... I'm an ND... are in a different area 00:08:22.66\00:08:26.47 so it's kind of like it's an amazing thing 00:08:26.50\00:08:29.57 that you guys have a hospital there... 00:08:29.60\00:08:32.61 and they are able to prescribe medication if necessary 00:08:32.64\00:08:36.11 That's right... but they deal with 00:08:36.14\00:08:37.68 natural remedies... That's right... 00:08:37.71\00:08:39.21 how did you get into this? Well, for me... 00:08:39.25\00:08:43.08 it actually is... really connected 00:08:43.12\00:08:45.25 to... how I met Jesus... Okay... 00:08:45.29\00:08:47.92 I grew up in the Adventist Church 00:08:47.96\00:08:50.53 and had awesome parents... I love them... 00:08:50.56\00:08:52.63 they treated me really great, but about the age of 13 00:08:52.66\00:08:55.66 I was going to Public School and I got disillusioned 00:08:55.70\00:08:58.67 with the Faith... and I kind of got tired of 00:08:58.70\00:09:00.80 going to Sabbath School and doing all this stuff 00:09:00.84\00:09:02.84 and it seemed to me like I was a hamster in a wheel... 00:09:02.87\00:09:04.87 so it was like... "You know what... 00:09:04.91\00:09:05.97 I'm kind of tired of that... let me just experiment 00:09:06.01\00:09:07.94 and see what's out there... " and at 13... 00:09:07.98\00:09:09.81 there's not much you can do, but as time went on, 00:09:09.84\00:09:11.91 years passed... my access to things grew 00:09:11.95\00:09:14.85 and I started to go down a darker path 00:09:14.88\00:09:17.29 but even there God was still trying to 00:09:17.32\00:09:19.55 reach out to me... still trying to wake me up 00:09:19.59\00:09:21.32 out of the place I was at, and He, 00:09:21.36\00:09:23.39 in a very miraculous way, 00:09:23.43\00:09:24.83 He allowed me to feel my need of Him... 00:09:24.86\00:09:27.73 He allowed me to feel that what I was experiencing 00:09:27.76\00:09:31.63 the worldliness... it wasn't satisfactory, 00:09:31.67\00:09:34.20 at the end of the day, 00:09:34.24\00:09:35.54 it's never satisfactory 00:09:35.57\00:09:36.77 it's never enough... you're always wanting 00:09:36.81\00:09:37.77 a little more or something else, and you think 00:09:37.81\00:09:39.77 that if I try a little this thing or that thing 00:09:39.81\00:09:41.61 it will satisfy me... but it never did... 00:09:41.64\00:09:43.21 and so, God... He woke me up 00:09:43.24\00:09:46.38 He shook me... like, "You know what... 00:09:46.41\00:09:47.98 here I am... I'm here for you, come experience me... " 00:09:48.02\00:09:51.92 I said, "You know what... I'm tired of what 00:09:51.95\00:09:53.62 I'm experiencing... I want something deeper, 00:09:53.66\00:09:55.26 I want something more, Lord, show me yourself... " 00:09:55.29\00:09:57.39 and... How old were you when you 00:09:57.43\00:09:59.13 came to this realization? I was about 17... 00:09:59.16\00:10:01.66 Okay... 17... and God was really good 00:10:01.70\00:10:04.83 to me... like... I shouldn't be here today... 00:10:04.87\00:10:07.94 Hmmm... if I were to be very honest but 00:10:07.97\00:10:09.94 God has been very good to me and He's shielded me 00:10:09.97\00:10:12.34 from so many other things that I could have been 00:10:12.37\00:10:14.18 I could have been in jail... I could have been 00:10:14.21\00:10:16.01 in many other places, but... 00:10:16.04\00:10:18.21 God said, "You know, I want you, for myself... " 00:10:18.25\00:10:21.12 and I said, "Okay, let's try this... " 00:10:21.15\00:10:22.62 and I tried an experience with God and I'm so satisfied... 00:10:22.65\00:10:26.15 you come back... how can it be anything different 00:10:26.19\00:10:29.79 you know, God puts a God-shaped hole 00:10:29.82\00:10:31.13 in every one of our hearts and when he fills himself 00:10:31.16\00:10:33.63 when He fills us with Himself... 00:10:33.66\00:10:36.56 that's all we really want in the first place... 00:10:36.60\00:10:39.27 What is better than that? What is better than that? 00:10:39.30\00:10:41.94 So you're on this one path, and you see how 00:10:41.97\00:10:44.47 unfulfilling this one path is... you're just going... 00:10:44.51\00:10:47.51 because... I tell everybody on 00:10:47.54\00:10:49.81 Urban Report... all of our viewers... 00:10:49.84\00:10:52.28 I'm always saying, "God has a plan... " 00:10:52.31\00:10:54.75 Satan has a plan... That's true... 00:10:54.78\00:10:57.32 Satan's plan is to take you downward... 00:10:57.35\00:11:00.16 God's plan is to give you an abundant life... 00:11:00.19\00:11:03.19 so, which one do you want? well you chose, at first, 00:11:03.22\00:11:06.53 for a while... you chose to check out Satan's 00:11:06.56\00:11:08.63 plan... and you saw... what that was doing, 00:11:08.66\00:11:11.53 and so, you decided to give God a try... 00:11:11.57\00:11:14.37 and when you do that, there's nothing better than that 00:11:14.40\00:11:18.51 so, for 4 years... you kind of went down 00:11:18.54\00:11:21.54 that other ground and you came back to the Lord 00:11:21.58\00:11:24.08 when you were about 17... Right... 00:11:24.11\00:11:26.41 How did He put you on a health path? 00:11:26.45\00:11:28.68 Well, it's interesting... 00:11:28.72\00:11:31.02 when I encountered Jesus, 00:11:31.05\00:11:33.29 I became completely satisfied, but then I realized, 00:11:33.32\00:11:36.32 "You know what... this is so good for me... 00:11:36.36\00:11:37.76 how can I not share this with others?" 00:11:37.79\00:11:39.83 Hmmm... hmmm... and I would try to... 00:11:39.86\00:11:41.26 I would try to share... I would knock on doors... 00:11:41.30\00:11:42.63 the normal ways of doing it... and I realized that 00:11:42.66\00:11:45.77 people were not into that... like I would knock on the door 00:11:45.80\00:11:47.97 and say, "I have a great book for you" 00:11:48.00\00:11:49.90 Huh... and they would just close the door on me... 00:11:49.94\00:11:51.97 I'm thinking... "Okay, what is a more effective 00:11:52.01\00:11:53.98 way for me to communicate this because it's really good for me, 00:11:54.01\00:11:56.64 I'm enjoying this... this is exactly 00:11:56.68\00:11:58.41 what my soul needs... and I'm sure as I read the Bible 00:11:58.45\00:12:00.38 it says... this is exactly what everyone needs... 00:12:00.42\00:12:01.88 how can I communicate this far more effectively than I am?" 00:12:01.92\00:12:04.82 then I realized something... 00:12:04.85\00:12:06.22 "People don't care how much you know 00:12:06.25\00:12:07.86 until they know how much you care... " 00:12:07.89\00:12:09.46 Right... and so I said, 00:12:09.49\00:12:10.63 "Okay, well how I express this kind of... this caring... 00:12:10.66\00:12:13.60 this love towards people...?" 00:12:13.63\00:12:14.93 and then... I was reading and said, "What would Jesus do?" 00:12:14.93\00:12:17.80 look at Matthew 4:23... Jesus... He went around teaching 00:12:17.83\00:12:20.90 He went around preaching, and He also went around healing, 00:12:20.94\00:12:23.94 Right... and just seeing how Jesus did it 00:12:23.97\00:12:26.04 Jesus did far more healing... if you look at the gospels 00:12:26.07\00:12:29.04 he just would walk and touch people... 00:12:29.08\00:12:30.85 and just reach out to people without saying anything 00:12:30.88\00:12:32.95 about the gospel to them... and people would be like... 00:12:32.98\00:12:35.42 "Jesus... let me know what you want to say Jesus... " 00:12:35.45\00:12:37.45 they would be interested in what He had to say... 00:12:37.49\00:12:40.39 and so, when I think of this, it actually drew me to 00:12:40.42\00:12:43.32 wanting to do health evangelism, and I looked... 00:12:43.36\00:12:45.76 "Where can I go and get health evangelism training?" 00:12:45.79\00:12:48.13 and the Lord led me to Wildwood... 00:12:48.16\00:12:49.83 Wow... and so how long have you been at Wildwood? 00:12:49.86\00:12:53.23 I came to Wildwood 00:12:53.27\00:12:55.07 to study in 2008... 00:12:55.10\00:12:56.87 I left Wildwood to do mission work, 00:12:56.91\00:12:59.47 but kind of left while getting calls 00:12:59.51\00:13:02.64 to go to India, to Central and South America... 00:13:02.68\00:13:06.88 I've been to several countries, Australia... 00:13:06.92\00:13:08.92 and so... God... he led me to different places 00:13:08.95\00:13:10.89 to minister for Him... That's great... 00:13:10.92\00:13:13.15 What about you Jesse? Well, I grew up in Switzerland 00:13:13.19\00:13:17.16 I was born and raised in Switzerland... 00:13:17.19\00:13:18.36 until I was 18 years old, you know, kind of in the Church 00:13:18.39\00:13:21.86 but Church is fairly... not very... let's say... 00:13:21.90\00:13:26.33 defined or something like that, so I didn't really know 00:13:26.37\00:13:28.57 all these doctrines and all the stuff 00:13:28.60\00:13:30.47 you know so... but what happened was... 00:13:30.51\00:13:32.57 when I was 18, the Youth Pastor said, 00:13:32.61\00:13:34.58 "Hey, let's do an Evangelistic Campaign... 00:13:34.61\00:13:37.28 in the Philippines, you know, 00:13:37.31\00:13:38.51 one of the pre-fabric-sermon things, 00:13:38.55\00:13:41.85 Yeah... yeah... yeah... so we went... 00:13:41.88\00:13:43.42 actually my whole family went, and the whole Youth Group 00:13:43.45\00:13:47.12 and so, my little brother, 16-years-old and me 18... 00:13:47.16\00:13:50.79 we went and preached this campaign together... 00:13:50.83\00:13:53.33 and so, everyday, and I didn't know 00:13:53.36\00:13:55.50 any of the stuff, so, we were just like 00:13:55.53\00:13:57.70 all day... in the hotel... 00:13:57.73\00:14:00.64 trying to know what I'm trying to say 00:14:00.67\00:14:03.57 tonight to these people... 00:14:03.61\00:14:05.57 and I didn't know what was in... 00:14:05.61\00:14:07.28 it was like... the 2300-day prophecy... 00:14:07.31\00:14:10.01 the most awkward thing was that... 00:14:10.05\00:14:12.58 the title was... "It All Adds Up... " 00:14:12.61\00:14:14.48 and nothing added up... I mean... it was just terrible 00:14:14.52\00:14:17.79 it was like... "What am I going to teach these people?" 00:14:17.82\00:14:21.09 and so I just prayed and prayed and prayed... 00:14:21.12\00:14:23.39 in the evening... and I didn't know 00:14:23.43\00:14:25.79 what I was talking about... I didn't understand this 00:14:25.83\00:14:27.86 69 weeks and this... and all of that... 00:14:27.93\00:14:29.73 Yeah... yeah... yeah... I didn't get it... 00:14:29.76\00:14:31.53 and then I just started preaching it 00:14:31.57\00:14:33.77 it's just really what was being said there, 00:14:33.80\00:14:36.27 and suddenly the Lord opened my brains... 00:14:36.30\00:14:38.74 it just became clear... 00:14:38.77\00:14:40.08 and I was just understanding everything... 00:14:40.11\00:14:42.34 it was like... the palm of my hand 00:14:42.38\00:14:43.31 and I'm like whoa... this is amazing stuff 00:14:43.35\00:14:47.08 so, every evening... it was like that... 00:14:47.12\00:14:50.69 it was like revelation to me... 00:14:50.72\00:14:51.82 and I was like whoa... whoa... whoa... and so then... 00:14:51.85\00:14:55.69 I got more excited about it, even though I was 00:14:55.72\00:14:58.29 actually planning... even after this campaign... 00:14:58.33\00:15:00.90 I was planning to go back, and I was... 00:15:00.93\00:15:03.97 I started getting so... into it I started asking for 00:15:04.00\00:15:06.94 baptismal appeals and all that stuff 00:15:06.97\00:15:10.21 and I was not even baptized, and so, it was just... 00:15:10.24\00:15:13.07 it was just really a very interesting situation... 00:15:13.11\00:15:16.08 so, when I came back, I was actually still planning 00:15:16.11\00:15:19.05 to go to Berklee College of Jazz to study drum... 00:15:19.08\00:15:21.85 I was a drummer I would do tours in Switzerland 00:15:21.88\00:15:24.85 and Germany and in the surrounding areas in Europe 00:15:24.89\00:15:27.89 and they had offered me this scholarship 00:15:27.92\00:15:30.63 to go to Berklee... but... I had one more week in my 00:15:30.66\00:15:35.76 summer vacation... and so we went to this 00:15:35.80\00:15:38.70 Prophecy Seminar... my parents wanted to go... 00:15:38.73\00:15:40.50 to the Prophecy seminar... I'm like, 00:15:40.54\00:15:41.60 "Sure... all right... let's just go... " 00:15:41.64\00:15:43.54 and we studied Daniel 11 00:15:43.57\00:15:47.31 and Daniel 8 and Revelation 00:15:47.34\00:15:51.11 and all the stuff... and I'm just like... "Whoa... " 00:15:51.15\00:15:54.08 Final Events... everything that's going on... 00:15:54.12\00:15:56.38 Oh... what is coming about... and all this stuff 00:15:56.42\00:15:58.62 and I'm like... "Man, this is exciting... " 00:15:58.65\00:16:00.89 and I'm like... "I don't want to live a normal 00:16:00.92\00:16:03.09 boring life like everybody else... " 00:16:03.12\00:16:04.86 I wanted to do something exciting 00:16:04.89\00:16:06.49 something that will advance the work of God 00:16:06.53\00:16:08.83 and really help people and do something for good... 00:16:08.86\00:16:11.87 so, I'm like... "Oh... get rid of this stuff... 00:16:11.90\00:16:14.87 I want to do mission work... " so, I went to Norway 00:16:14.90\00:16:17.87 to get trained at the European Bible School... 00:16:17.91\00:16:20.84 over there... 00:16:20.88\00:16:22.64 and in Medical Missionary Training... 00:16:22.68\00:16:24.98 and Bible work and Leadership 00:16:25.01\00:16:26.31 and I met a friend from Honduras who was there 00:16:26.35\00:16:29.95 and he wanted to go to Central America 00:16:29.98\00:16:31.69 to start a school... to start a 00:16:31.72\00:16:33.22 the Central American Bible School 00:16:33.25\00:16:34.32 because there was no missionary training over there 00:16:34.36\00:16:36.22 and so... well he went back over there... 00:16:36.26\00:16:39.93 I went to Austria... to the Adventist Seminary in 00:16:39.96\00:16:43.26 Bogenhofen in Austria... to study theology... 00:16:43.30\00:16:47.84 and so... he got this property donated to him in Honduras 00:16:47.87\00:16:51.71 and he's like "Jesse... come and help me out 00:16:51.74\00:16:54.38 I'm all alone... I got this property donated... 00:16:54.41\00:16:56.64 you got to help me... " and so, I'm like... 00:16:56.68\00:16:58.91 "What am I going to do?" so I prayed... 00:16:58.95\00:17:01.15 it's like Honduras... no electricity... 00:17:01.18\00:17:03.28 not the whole Country... 00:17:03.32\00:17:04.45 but the property that was donated... 00:17:04.49\00:17:07.32 right... Right... 00:17:07.36\00:17:08.42 and so I'm just like "Oh... what am I going to do?" 00:17:08.46\00:17:12.36 so the Lord led me to go there, 00:17:12.39\00:17:14.10 and so, we went and started this project... 00:17:14.13\00:17:16.30 called Vida Nacional... 00:17:16.33\00:17:17.27 and I was there for about 3 to 4 years... 00:17:17.30\00:17:20.50 just trying to figure out legal papers... 00:17:20.54\00:17:23.61 I was 20-years-old... he was 20-years-old... 00:17:23.64\00:17:24.97 we had no clue what we were doing... right... 00:17:25.01\00:17:26.78 and the Lord just opened all the doors 00:17:26.81\00:17:28.78 and miracles... I mean... 00:17:28.81\00:17:29.98 millions of dollars of miracles happened 00:17:30.01\00:17:32.28 and we started an Elementary School 00:17:32.31\00:17:34.48 for the Outreach... for the kids 00:17:34.52\00:17:36.58 a bilingual Elementary School the Missionary School 00:17:36.62\00:17:39.09 we planted a Church and we did different... 00:17:39.12\00:17:42.46 like agricultural industries to support the 00:17:42.49\00:17:44.36 whole ministry and all this kind of thing... 00:17:44.39\00:17:46.06 so we got really into it, we got Wildwood actually 00:17:46.09\00:17:49.40 to come down to do mission trips and so forth 00:17:49.43\00:17:52.07 and so it was later... it was like 3 to 4 years later 00:17:52.10\00:17:55.37 after having gone through this that Wildwood... 00:17:55.40\00:17:58.67 the Director of the College there... 00:17:58.71\00:18:01.14 his dad got cancer... and so there was this opening 00:18:01.18\00:18:05.38 and so, they were praying and so they decided 00:18:05.41\00:18:07.88 to give me a call to come to Wildwood... 00:18:07.92\00:18:09.45 this was about three... three-and-a-half years ago... 00:18:09.48\00:18:12.65 that this happened so... so then... I answered that call 00:18:12.69\00:18:15.82 so, I've been very, very blessed 00:18:15.86\00:18:18.29 to be at Wildwood and do the work that we're doing there... 00:18:18.33\00:18:22.06 training... now with this online training... 00:18:22.10\00:18:24.73 it's exploding... it's very amazing what's going on... 00:18:24.77\00:18:27.90 And I want to talk about that but I just want to say that 00:18:27.94\00:18:31.11 look at God and look at how He's put you guys together 00:18:31.14\00:18:34.28 you're passionate about what you do 00:18:34.31\00:18:36.41 you're passionate about the work of God 00:18:36.44\00:18:38.48 and you're passionate about helping people... 00:18:38.51\00:18:41.08 not only to get healthy... but training people 00:18:41.12\00:18:43.65 to help people get healthy... 00:18:43.69\00:18:45.22 Amen... and that is just... 00:18:45.25\00:18:46.72 that's just a wonderful, wonderful thing... 00:18:46.76\00:18:49.19 tell us about the online program because that's the way to go 00:18:49.22\00:18:54.46 I mean... you're in your house, 00:18:54.50\00:18:56.26 you don't have to leave your house 00:18:56.30\00:18:57.97 you just go online and you do what you need to do... 00:18:58.00\00:19:01.34 Well, Wildwood has been operating for about 70 years 00:19:01.37\00:19:04.71 and we've created this on-campus place... 00:19:04.74\00:19:07.44 because we felt like it was on-campus educational place 00:19:07.48\00:19:09.58 but we felt that the work we're doing in the Center 00:19:09.61\00:19:11.71 should be replicated elsewhere 00:19:11.75\00:19:13.11 so this is why... this is the kind of the burden 00:19:13.15\00:19:14.92 of why education started at Wildwood 00:19:14.95\00:19:16.38 because we wanted the work replicated... 00:19:16.42\00:19:17.85 Right... so, when we started up the 00:19:17.89\00:19:20.22 school we were only able to serve about 70 or so people 00:19:20.26\00:19:23.09 at maximum... we were thinking... 00:19:23.12\00:19:24.79 "Well, how can we expand this?" so we're thinking... 00:19:24.83\00:19:27.36 "Well, let's create an online course 00:19:27.40\00:19:29.13 and so what we decided was 00:19:29.16\00:19:30.33 that we were going to record classes 00:19:30.37\00:19:31.57 and we were going to get the teachers in there 00:19:31.60\00:19:33.60 making quizzes online and so what we did was... 00:19:33.64\00:19:35.57 we created this really awesome platform where you have HD video 00:19:35.60\00:19:39.31 you are watching classes almost exactly like you would 00:19:39.34\00:19:41.78 if you were at Wildwood so you're not missing anything 00:19:41.81\00:19:44.01 Wow... and you have these quizzes 00:19:44.05\00:19:46.25 that are tailor-made for each class 00:19:46.28\00:19:48.38 and it really helps you to get what you're understanding 00:19:48.42\00:19:50.69 and beyond that... you're learning things like 00:19:50.72\00:19:52.69 "How to do Health Evangelism in the Community" 00:19:52.72\00:19:54.62 for instance... health lectures... 00:19:54.66\00:19:56.96 to different people-groups on how to do Health Expos... 00:19:56.99\00:20:00.86 how to do Cooking Schools, Evangelistic Cooking Schools 00:20:00.90\00:20:04.70 how to... just the whole spectrum of 00:20:04.73\00:20:06.94 health evangelism disease and treatment 00:20:06.97\00:20:09.47 the common diseases so a friend of mine 00:20:09.50\00:20:11.47 told me this very interesting phrase... 00:20:11.51\00:20:13.54 he says... "Common diseases occur commonly" 00:20:13.58\00:20:15.54 so why not learn the most common diseases then... 00:20:15.58\00:20:18.91 and their treatment with natural things 00:20:18.95\00:20:20.65 and then he said, lifestyle medicine... 00:20:20.68\00:20:22.32 how things work... in terms of your body and 00:20:22.35\00:20:24.69 lifestyle... and just the whole spectrum. 00:20:24.72\00:20:27.02 It was very amazing for me... 00:20:27.06\00:20:29.09 the whole "how we started the whole online school... " 00:20:29.12\00:20:32.79 it was really a divine... it was a divine idea 00:20:32.83\00:20:36.23 because people were calling us, they were like, 00:20:36.26\00:20:39.63 "We want to get trained... " and maybe it was a mother 00:20:39.67\00:20:43.91 for the first one it was like... 00:20:43.94\00:20:45.24 it was a mother with kids, and a husband 00:20:45.27\00:20:47.78 and she's like... "Man, I really want to get 00:20:47.81\00:20:50.28 this training... I want get some... 00:20:50.31\00:20:51.38 learn these natural remedies and the hydro-massage 00:20:51.41\00:20:54.02 but I can't leave my... just drop my kids and 00:20:54.05\00:20:57.32 drop my job and just come for six months 00:20:57.35\00:20:59.89 to go to Wildwood... it's impossible... 00:20:59.92\00:21:02.52 so guys... you got to help us out 00:21:02.56\00:21:05.56 and so, we're like praying and thinking 00:21:05.59\00:21:08.30 and we're like... and one night... 00:21:08.33\00:21:10.43 this thought came to me it's like... 00:21:10.47\00:21:12.27 "We got to take this training to them... " 00:21:12.30\00:21:15.40 we got to break these barriers that we have 00:21:15.44\00:21:18.47 of tradition... just tradition, and so, we came up... 00:21:18.51\00:21:23.35 that's how we came up with this idea 00:21:23.38\00:21:25.38 it's like... "Whoa, if we do this online... 00:21:25.41\00:21:27.42 they can do it in their community, 00:21:27.45\00:21:29.32 they could do it in their Church 00:21:29.35\00:21:31.12 they could do it in their setting 00:21:31.15\00:21:32.89 and do the coaching and do the health talks 00:21:32.92\00:21:35.22 and do all these kind of things 00:21:35.26\00:21:36.39 in a practical way, in their community, 00:21:36.42\00:21:38.66 and they'll be even more effective 00:21:38.69\00:21:39.96 and they can still come... " then what they do is 00:21:40.00\00:21:41.86 they come for the practicals.. for the hydro and the massage 00:21:41.90\00:21:46.17 and so forth... they still come on campus 00:21:46.20\00:21:47.97 so they still get the experience of working in a 00:21:48.00\00:21:51.64 hydro-facility... and seeing the whole works... 00:21:51.67\00:21:55.31 The clinical aspect of it... Exactly... 00:21:55.34\00:21:57.31 Yeah... and so they get... all of the... 00:21:57.35\00:21:59.31 they learn it at home and they do it with 00:21:59.35\00:22:01.28 their friends and with their husbands 00:22:01.32\00:22:03.15 like they learn how to do the massage strokes 00:22:03.18\00:22:05.09 and then guess who they have to practice on? 00:22:05.12\00:22:07.12 well, that's the homework... practice on your husband 00:22:07.16\00:22:09.12 practice on your kids, and so they learn 00:22:09.16\00:22:12.63 and they learn all the poultices and they learn 00:22:12.66\00:22:14.66 all these other stuff... so, it's very, very practical 00:22:14.73\00:22:17.07 sometimes we think... online is not so practical 00:22:17.10\00:22:20.30 but actually it's even more practical 00:22:20.34\00:22:22.14 because you're in a real setting... 00:22:22.17\00:22:23.87 you're in your home setting in your community 00:22:23.91\00:22:26.41 and you can apply it... right there... 00:22:26.44\00:22:27.98 so it's very amazing... and it's actually cheaper 00:22:28.01\00:22:32.48 than going even on campus, so it's really a win-win 00:22:32.51\00:22:37.05 for all the... for everybody... 00:22:37.09\00:22:38.95 That is a win-win... it's cheaper... 00:22:38.99\00:22:41.32 it's so convenient... Exactly... 00:22:41.36\00:22:43.63 it's so doable... the nice thing about it is that 00:22:43.66\00:22:47.60 you can do it at your own pace... 00:22:47.60\00:22:49.30 and there are no boundaries, it's been an explosion 00:22:49.33\00:22:52.70 around the world... 00:22:52.73\00:22:53.90 from 70 students that we can do a year... 00:22:53.94\00:22:57.17 now suddenly it's over 300... I mean... 00:22:57.21\00:22:59.87 it's just exploded like that... That's tremendous... 00:22:59.91\00:23:02.74 and I think we have a role in of one of the students... 00:23:02.78\00:23:05.48 set it up for us... Yeah, well, this lady 00:23:05.51\00:23:08.08 actually, she started taking the Program 00:23:08.12\00:23:10.82 not just to get trained to be able to help 00:23:10.85\00:23:13.52 in the Community... but also... 00:23:13.56\00:23:15.62 for it to help herself, so this lady actually lost like 00:23:15.66\00:23:21.23 over 70 pounds just by taking the Program and 00:23:21.26\00:23:23.87 following the Program... what she's learning 00:23:23.90\00:23:25.93 in Physiology... and these kinds of things 00:23:25.97\00:23:28.00 Let's watch... let's take a look... 00:23:28.04\00:23:30.11 You know I've always been an Adventist... 00:23:33.61\00:23:36.11 and at some point in my life I wanted to know more about God 00:23:36.14\00:23:42.18 I wanted to serve Him more... 00:23:42.22\00:23:44.09 I wanted to know how to walk with Him... hear His voice 00:23:44.12\00:23:48.22 and I started praying about it, by then... 00:23:48.26\00:23:51.16 I had never known about Medical Missionary... 00:23:51.19\00:23:53.56 but I just wanted to use my profession to serve people, 00:23:53.60\00:23:56.40 to serve... you know... 00:23:56.43\00:23:57.67 so I hear... the Holy Spirit led me to one village 00:23:57.70\00:24:02.07 I talked to the Chief... that's the Chief of the village 00:24:02.10\00:24:05.87 and then he brought his people 00:24:05.91\00:24:07.38 and I started talking with them 00:24:07.41\00:24:08.84 sharing some of the things I know... 00:24:08.88\00:24:11.18 and then... when they are sick, 00:24:11.21\00:24:12.85 like... if they have headache 00:24:12.88\00:24:14.42 I would give them some drugs using the conventional medicine 00:24:14.45\00:24:18.39 that's what I knew then, but I wasn't feeling fulfilled, 00:24:18.42\00:24:22.06 I wasn't happy about it, and then... 00:24:22.09\00:24:25.33 about two or three weeks after that 00:24:25.36\00:24:28.50 there came "Light's Program" in my Church 00:24:28.53\00:24:33.50 there was this Manual Agayo working with the Rodney Bose 00:24:33.54\00:24:39.07 and so, they had a one-month training 00:24:39.11\00:24:42.48 in my Church... so, I took leave from my office 00:24:42.51\00:24:47.05 and participated in the training so Rodney encouraged me 00:24:47.08\00:24:52.55 to get into the six-months online course... 00:24:52.59\00:24:56.86 the online program has actually changed my life, 00:24:56.89\00:25:00.13 I was this big... 106 Kg... that's about 00:25:00.16\00:25:04.27 230 pounds... but I am now 70 Kg 00:25:04.30\00:25:08.00 that's about 160 pounds... people around me 00:25:08.04\00:25:14.91 just see me as a different person, 00:25:14.94\00:25:17.35 they keep asking me "What have you done?" 00:25:17.38\00:25:19.65 I was looking older before, but now, I look younger, 00:25:19.68\00:25:24.52 and my friends keep asking me 00:25:24.55\00:25:27.19 "What are you doing to yourself you look younger...
