Stay tuned to meet a woman
00:00:01.90\00:00:03.83
who has been blessed
with a beautiful voice
00:00:03.87\00:00:05.80
and a man who is
determined to preach the truth.
00:00:05.83\00:00:08.24
My name is Jason Bradley
00:00:08.27\00:00:09.60
and you're
watching Urban Report.
00:00:09.64\00:00:11.91
Hello and
welcome to Urban Report.
00:00:35.26\00:00:37.43
I had the privilege of
interviewing Christopher Hudson
00:00:37.50\00:00:39.97
on the
Foundation of our Faith Set,
00:00:40.00\00:00:41.34
let's take a look.
00:00:41.37\00:00:42.70
It's great to be here today
00:00:42.74\00:00:46.41
on the Set of
Foundation of our Faith
00:00:46.44\00:00:48.61
with our Speaker,
Christopher Hudson,
00:00:48.64\00:00:50.78
he's also the Host of
our Dare to Dream Program,
00:00:50.81\00:00:54.48
Forerunner Chronicles,
00:00:54.52\00:00:56.22
I recently received a
message from a young lady
00:00:56.28\00:00:59.52
telling me to relay
the message to Chris
00:00:59.55\00:01:02.59
"Keep preaching it
Forerunner, keep preaching it!"
00:01:02.62\00:01:07.00
Welcome to the Program.
00:01:07.03\00:01:08.50
Thanks, I appreciate it.
00:01:08.53\00:01:10.03
No problem, so how long have
you been preaching the truth?
00:01:10.07\00:01:13.10
Well, I came back into
the church around 2000,
00:01:13.13\00:01:17.07
and since around 2006,
the Lord has been leading me
00:01:17.11\00:01:20.58
in making these
Media Productions
00:01:20.64\00:01:22.38
to get the truth
out to the world.
00:01:22.41\00:01:24.01
Wow, wow, okay, so, 2000,
00:01:24.05\00:01:26.68
for our audience
that doesn't know you,
00:01:26.72\00:01:29.28
share a little bit with
them about your journey.
00:01:29.32\00:01:32.95
Okay, well, I grew up
in the city of New York,
00:01:32.99\00:01:36.62
and at a very early
age I left the church,
00:01:36.69\00:01:40.30
as many youth often do,
00:01:40.36\00:01:43.13
and I pursued a career
00:01:43.16\00:01:45.93
in the
Entertainment Industry around 19
00:01:45.97\00:01:47.97
and I was able to
break into the Industry,
00:01:48.00\00:01:49.94
I started out writing,
00:01:50.04\00:01:51.41
what they call
"Treatments" for music videos,
00:01:51.44\00:01:53.41
so I basically wrote the
storyline for music videos,
00:01:53.44\00:01:55.48
and then I got an opportunity
00:01:55.54\00:01:57.28
to start writing
movie scripts and so forth,
00:01:57.31\00:01:59.25
so I did a little bit of time
in the Entertainment Industry
00:01:59.28\00:02:02.05
being a Story Writer and
00:02:02.08\00:02:03.42
so I was into hip
hop music and so forth
00:02:03.49\00:02:05.82
but the Lord led me
out of that lifestyle,
00:02:05.85\00:02:08.09
bit by bit,
00:02:08.12\00:02:09.76
and through a lot of tug-of-war,
00:02:09.79\00:02:15.10
I finally made a surrender of
my heart to the service of God,
00:02:15.13\00:02:19.33
and so, I started out actually
doing this evangelistic work
00:02:19.37\00:02:23.27
living homeless in a car
with another friend of mine
00:02:23.30\00:02:28.11
that I brought into the truth,
while we were in the world
00:02:28.14\00:02:32.28
doing some things that we
shouldn't have been doing.
00:02:32.35\00:02:34.52
Wow, wow, so you
were homeless, like,
00:02:34.55\00:02:37.92
how did you get to that
point, what led to that?
00:02:37.95\00:02:42.79
To the homelessness? Yes, yes.
00:02:42.82\00:02:44.59
That's a hard one,
00:02:44.63\00:02:48.56
but what led to the
homelessness really was...
00:02:48.63\00:02:51.33
the Lord just
allowed my faith to be tried,
00:02:51.40\00:02:54.10
if I would really
be faithful to Him,
00:02:54.17\00:02:56.37
no matter what circumstances
I found myself going through,
00:02:56.40\00:02:59.51
and I believe in
all of these things,
00:02:59.54\00:03:02.54
He wanted me to realize that
00:03:02.58\00:03:03.95
I can't trust in
the arm of flesh,
00:03:03.98\00:03:05.31
so that's me
basically giving you the story
00:03:05.35\00:03:07.62
without giving
you all of the story.
00:03:07.65\00:03:09.22
I got you, I got you, I got you.
00:03:09.25\00:03:10.69
But I ended up homeless, yeah.
00:03:10.72\00:03:12.12
I hear you, I hear you,
00:03:12.15\00:03:13.49
and what brought
you back to the Lord?
00:03:13.56\00:03:14.89
Like I said, it was a
tug-of-war with me and the Lord
00:03:14.92\00:03:20.60
for a bit of time,
but what brought me back
00:03:20.63\00:03:22.73
to really wanting
to serve the Lord was
00:03:22.76\00:03:24.80
in all of my backslidings
and my unfaithfulness,
00:03:24.83\00:03:28.17
I saw the Lord being faithful,
I saw how much He loved me
00:03:28.20\00:03:30.87
and it really became
extremely apparent to me that
00:03:30.91\00:03:34.18
He was more
interested in my salvation
00:03:34.24\00:03:36.95
than I was in my own salvation
and then I came to the point
00:03:37.01\00:03:40.18
where I said, "Wow! if
God loves me this much,
00:03:40.22\00:03:41.88
if God can be
this faithful to me,
00:03:41.92\00:03:44.05
then I want to be
faithful, I wan to be loyal,
00:03:44.09\00:03:46.19
so I began to pray and ask
Him to give me the strength
00:03:46.22\00:03:48.52
to exercise the same
type of loyalty towards Him
00:03:48.56\00:03:51.36
that He's been
exercising towards me.
00:03:51.39\00:03:53.29
Absolutely, and
it's interesting,
00:03:53.36\00:03:54.93
you know, God never leaves us
00:03:54.96\00:03:57.33
nor forsakes us, we leave Him.
00:03:57.40\00:03:59.23
That's true.
00:03:59.27\00:04:00.67
But He longs for us
to come back to Him.
00:04:00.74\00:04:03.14
Amen, amen.
00:04:03.17\00:04:04.51
It's almost like
the prodigal son,
00:04:04.54\00:04:06.51
the father
celebrated him coming home,
00:04:06.54\00:04:09.74
even though he left
all that, and it said,
00:04:09.78\00:04:12.91
he was "wasted his substance
on unrighteous living. "
00:04:12.95\00:04:17.09
And one of the
things I like the most
00:04:17.12\00:04:20.16
about that
particular parable, is how,
00:04:20.19\00:04:23.32
when the son was
making his way back home,
00:04:23.36\00:04:26.46
and thinking about what he
was going to say to the father,
00:04:26.49\00:04:28.93
the father was looking for him
00:04:28.96\00:04:30.53
and before he
could even say anything,
00:04:30.57\00:04:32.37
the Father took off his garment
00:04:32.40\00:04:33.94
and put it on him, and
really, I saw from that,
00:04:34.00\00:04:36.54
for myself, personally, is that,
00:04:36.57\00:04:39.17
the Lord doesn't
want to expose us,
00:04:39.21\00:04:41.14
He doesn't want
everybody to see our shame,
00:04:41.18\00:04:43.55
and he wants to cover
us and things like that
00:04:43.61\00:04:45.91
really warmed my
heart towards God.
00:04:45.95\00:04:47.95
Absolutely, absolutely,
00:04:47.98\00:04:49.48
now you're going
to be speaking for
00:04:49.52\00:04:51.55
Foundation of our Faith,
what can we expect from you,
00:04:51.59\00:04:54.79
what are these messages about?
00:04:54.86\00:04:56.26
Well the messages that
I'm going to be presenting
00:04:56.29\00:04:58.69
for this series, are
really going to be focused
00:04:58.73\00:05:01.13
on end-time events
and Bible prophecy,
00:05:01.16\00:05:03.16
there's so much going
on in our world right now,
00:05:03.20\00:05:05.43
we can see with the
events that took place
00:05:05.50\00:05:08.94
in the United States of America
00:05:08.97\00:05:10.31
with the passing of same-sex
marriage on a Federal level,
00:05:10.34\00:05:14.28
okay, nationwide,
00:05:14.31\00:05:17.15
we can also see with the Pope
getting ready to make history
00:05:17.18\00:05:20.72
by becoming the
very first Pope ever
00:05:20.75\00:05:22.68
to address the Joint
Houses of the US Congress,
00:05:22.72\00:05:24.82
and so many other important
events happening simultaneously
00:05:24.85\00:05:29.12
that we can know for sure
00:05:29.16\00:05:31.16
that we're living
during the time period
00:05:31.19\00:05:34.30
of the very, very,
very last moments of time
00:05:34.36\00:05:37.37
I would like to say and so
00:05:37.43\00:05:38.77
I really want to
highlight these things
00:05:38.80\00:05:40.90
so that, everyone
out there can realize
00:05:40.94\00:05:42.97
that this is the
time to make our calling
00:05:43.00\00:05:44.97
our election sure that
we can't wait any longer.
00:05:45.01\00:05:48.14
Absolutely,
absolutely, and as you're saying
00:05:48.18\00:05:51.05
the current events
point to the end times
00:05:51.08\00:05:53.92
if we pay
attention to the signs,
00:05:53.98\00:05:55.48
it's everywhere,
00:05:55.52\00:05:56.95
National Sunday
Law is not far away,
00:05:56.99\00:06:00.29
and it's almost time to go home,
00:06:00.32\00:06:03.49
so definitely, praise
the Lord, it's time to go.
00:06:03.56\00:06:07.03
Yeah, it's a beautiful thing
that we can actually sit here
00:06:07.03\00:06:09.70
and during this
time of peace and safety
00:06:09.73\00:06:12.10
be able to talk
about these things candidly
00:06:12.17\00:06:14.50
but it's going to
change very quickly
00:06:14.54\00:06:17.77
and that's something that I
really want everyone out there
00:06:17.81\00:06:21.14
that is going to be
watching these programs
00:06:21.18\00:06:23.55
to realize that this
time of peace and safety,
00:06:23.58\00:06:25.85
it's getting ready to flee,
00:06:25.88\00:06:27.68
and so now, while we
have the opportunity,
00:06:27.72\00:06:30.12
we need to make a
very thorough preparation
00:06:30.19\00:06:32.32
by surrendering our
hearts to Jesus Christ.
00:06:32.39\00:06:35.39
Amen, amen, now,
this is a question that
00:06:35.42\00:06:38.39
people tend to wonder about,
is, how do you study your Bible,
00:06:38.43\00:06:44.53
people want to know,
they see these Speakers
00:06:44.57\00:06:46.94
and Presenters and
Pastors and everything,
00:06:47.00\00:06:49.24
and they wonder that they
have all this Biblical knowledge
00:06:49.27\00:06:54.08
they know their Bible
and they make it practical
00:06:54.14\00:06:56.54
how do you study your Bible?
00:06:56.58\00:06:59.75
I guess, to be honest,
00:06:59.78\00:07:02.22
I think sometimes,
00:07:02.25\00:07:04.55
when I think of how
I answer this question
00:07:04.59\00:07:08.19
when it's presented to me,
00:07:08.22\00:07:09.72
I think I'm a little bit
unorthodox when it comes to that
00:07:09.76\00:07:11.83
but every
morning when I wake up,
00:07:11.86\00:07:14.00
I believe
that's the special time
00:07:14.03\00:07:15.70
for me to commune with the Lord.
00:07:15.73\00:07:17.37
He always desires to
reveal new truths to us,
00:07:17.40\00:07:20.84
and so I pray and ask the Lord,
00:07:20.87\00:07:23.41
"Please grant me
wisdom and understanding
00:07:23.44\00:07:27.01
to understand your
Word so that I can know it,
00:07:27.08\00:07:29.61
I can be established in
it and that you can use me
00:07:29.64\00:07:32.18
to help others come
00:07:32.21\00:07:33.82
into a saving
knowledge of the truth"
00:07:33.85\00:07:36.05
and then I begin to
study the Scriptures
00:07:36.08\00:07:38.12
and at times, the
Spirit of God will impress
00:07:38.15\00:07:40.16
a particular point on
my mind and that will begin
00:07:40.19\00:07:42.46
my real search
in the Word of God
00:07:42.49\00:07:44.93
like it says in
Isaiah chapter 28 verse 10,
00:07:44.96\00:07:47.20
"Precept must be upon
precept, precept upon precept;
00:07:47.23\00:07:49.30
line upon line, line upon line;
here a little, there a little:"
00:07:49.36\00:07:51.53
and so I take the basic
rules and truths that I can see
00:07:51.57\00:07:55.44
that are found
within the Word of God
00:07:55.47\00:07:56.97
and compare them
with one another,
00:07:57.01\00:07:59.01
little from here,
little from there,
00:07:59.04\00:08:01.04
as they are in
connection with one another,
00:08:01.08\00:08:02.84
as the principles
harmonize and yeah,
00:08:02.88\00:08:05.65
the Lord just establishes
clear truths in my mind
00:08:05.71\00:08:09.45
as I study the Bible that way.
00:08:09.48\00:08:10.82
Amen, what's next for you,
00:08:10.85\00:08:12.92
what can we
expect for the future?
00:08:12.95\00:08:16.19
All I want to do is
00:08:16.22\00:08:19.33
just be faithful in presenting
these three angels' messages,
00:08:19.39\00:08:21.83
one project that
I'm very excited about,
00:08:21.86\00:08:24.47
is the Leopard Vision
documentary that I just finished
00:08:24.50\00:08:28.47
and we're going
to be playing it here
00:08:28.54\00:08:30.54
on our Dare to
Dream Network as well.
00:08:30.61\00:08:32.51
All right, well, tell
us a little bit about that.
00:08:32.54\00:08:34.08
Well, the Lord opened the
way through a series of events
00:08:34.18\00:08:37.65
for me to begin to
shoot this documentary
00:08:37.68\00:08:40.42
which, I shot, the majority
of it in the Vatican in Rome,
00:08:40.45\00:08:44.79
and had some very interesting
situations that I passed through
00:08:44.82\00:08:48.99
while I was there as
well, but the Lord was good,
00:08:49.06\00:08:50.86
He was gracious,
and He kept us safe,
00:08:50.93\00:08:52.29
but this documentary
00:08:52.33\00:08:55.03
really is amplifying
00:08:55.06\00:08:57.73
the prophecies of
Revelation chapter 13,
00:08:57.77\00:09:00.67
but placing them in a
very current-day context
00:09:00.70\00:09:03.77
and presenting it in a fashion
00:09:03.84\00:09:05.31
that I don't think
that you've seen it before,
00:09:05.34\00:09:07.21
and it will be a means by which
00:09:07.24\00:09:09.24
we can share this
message with people
00:09:09.28\00:09:11.15
that have been inundated
00:09:11.18\00:09:12.55
by the Media
00:09:12.58\00:09:14.18
that has just
00:09:14.25\00:09:15.75
gotten our minds so crippled
00:09:15.78\00:09:18.69
that it's hard for us to
sit down and listen to anything
00:09:18.72\00:09:21.52
of substance for
longer than five minutes
00:09:21.56\00:09:23.99
yeah, so, I'm
really excited about it
00:09:24.06\00:09:25.89
and I believe
that it's going to be
00:09:25.93\00:09:27.40
something that the Lord can use,
00:09:27.46\00:09:28.86
to help awaken people
as we move towards these
00:09:28.90\00:09:32.33
historic prophetic events
00:09:32.40\00:09:34.44
that are just going to
happen, a month from now.
00:09:34.47\00:09:36.04
Yes, and you know what,
00:09:36.07\00:09:38.04
that's one of the
things that I really like
00:09:38.07\00:09:39.54
about Forerunner Chronicles
is that it sheds light on
00:09:39.61\00:09:42.64
all of these
things that's in the Media
00:09:42.71\00:09:45.15
that's right in our faces
that people just still overlook,
00:09:45.18\00:09:48.68
they don't pay
much attention to,
00:09:48.72\00:09:50.12
and so I really like that
about Forerunner Chronicles
00:09:50.19\00:09:53.69
and I'm looking forward to
seeing this new production.
00:09:53.76\00:09:56.52
I'm excited about it too, yeah.
00:09:56.56\00:09:58.26
Tell us more about
your trip to the Vatican.
00:09:58.29\00:10:01.70
Well, yeah, it's interesting
how the Lord even set it all up
00:10:01.73\00:10:05.43
I was contacted by a couple
00:10:05.47\00:10:07.84
that watched a presentation
that I did at a church
00:10:07.87\00:10:11.97
and it was
concerning Revelation chapter 13
00:10:12.01\00:10:16.48
and they were really interested
in me re-doing that presentation
00:10:16.51\00:10:20.78
in the Studio so that
they could make it into
00:10:20.82\00:10:22.75
professional DVDs to be
able to give it out to people
00:10:22.78\00:10:25.49
to raise... to
bring about awareness,
00:10:25.52\00:10:28.32
and so I said,
00:10:28.36\00:10:29.86
"Yeah, I would be interested
00:10:29.89\00:10:31.23
in doing that
that would be great"
00:10:31.26\00:10:32.59
and one morning as
I was having worship,
00:10:32.63\00:10:35.03
my personal
devotions with the Lord,
00:10:35.06\00:10:37.80
at the end I was
impressed by the Spirit of God,
00:10:37.83\00:10:40.70
"Why don't you go
to Rome to shoot this"
00:10:40.77\00:10:44.17
and I thought to myself,
00:10:44.24\00:10:45.57
"I'm not going to go
to Rome to shoot this"
00:10:45.61\00:10:48.14
and it came back to me,
00:10:48.18\00:10:49.51
"Why don't you go to Rome,
to shoot this presentation?"
00:10:49.54\00:10:51.71
And I thought to myself,
"Why don't I go to Rome?"
00:10:51.75\00:10:55.05
and so I prayed and I
said, "Lord, I'm going to do...
00:10:55.08\00:10:58.32
I'm going to use whatever I have
00:10:58.35\00:10:59.69
and then you'll
provide the rest"
00:10:59.72\00:11:01.12
And as soon as I
moved in the direction
00:11:01.16\00:11:03.19
of moving on that impression
that the Spirit of God
00:11:03.22\00:11:06.29
laid upon my heart, God
just began to open the doors
00:11:06.33\00:11:09.33
and so, we went out to Rome
00:11:09.36\00:11:11.83
and we began to film
and we had a couple of guys
00:11:11.87\00:11:14.60
working with us,
flying drones over the Vatican
00:11:14.64\00:11:17.37
and doing a lot of filming
00:11:17.41\00:11:20.94
while the Pope was
there in the Square
00:11:20.98\00:11:22.44
and presenting this
message of Revelation Chapter 13
00:11:22.48\00:11:25.35
maybe in a way that
not many are familiar with
00:11:25.41\00:11:30.29
right there in the
midst of the Vatican
00:11:30.35\00:11:33.32
so that the
reality of the message
00:11:33.36\00:11:36.06
could be
visualized as you heard it.
00:11:36.09\00:11:38.63
Now, how well was that
received by the onlookers?
00:11:38.69\00:11:42.66
It was... well one thing that
was powerful about it was...
00:11:42.70\00:11:46.47
and for those out there
00:11:46.50\00:11:50.24
that are interested
in Street Preaching,
00:11:50.27\00:11:51.91
let me give you
a good technique,
00:11:51.94\00:11:53.31
just go out
there and put a camera
00:11:53.34\00:11:54.68
in front of
yourself and start preaching,
00:11:54.71\00:11:56.14
people will stop
to listen to you.
00:11:56.18\00:11:57.81
That's a good way...
00:11:57.85\00:12:00.15
And sure enough,
people were stopping
00:12:00.22\00:12:02.68
and listening what
am I talking about,
00:12:02.72\00:12:05.15
and it was very intriguing
to certain individuals
00:12:05.22\00:12:08.32
we did get picked up by the
Vatican Police at one point.
00:12:08.36\00:12:12.93
Was your bail expensive?
00:12:12.96\00:12:16.20
Well, thank the Lord I
didn't end up going that far
00:12:16.23\00:12:21.24
because as soon
as they picked us up,
00:12:21.27\00:12:23.07
and they started talking
in Italian to one another,
00:12:23.10\00:12:28.24
one of the
Camera men and myself...
00:12:28.28\00:12:29.68
we began to pray and ask
the Lord to get us out of there,
00:12:29.74\00:12:31.88
and so, we did get
out of there, thank God,
00:12:31.91\00:12:34.78
they put us out,
00:12:34.82\00:12:36.15
but we still had the footage
00:12:36.18\00:12:37.89
and that's what was
most important to us
00:12:37.92\00:12:39.89
that we were able
to keep the footage
00:12:39.92\00:12:41.62
that we were
able to get that day,
00:12:41.66\00:12:43.16
I know the devil didn't
want us to keep that footage
00:12:43.19\00:12:45.03
because I really believe
that it's going to be impressive
00:12:45.06\00:12:46.86
to people and really
help them to see clearly,
00:12:46.90\00:12:49.43
what the Bible is
talking about and so,
00:12:49.46\00:12:51.47
I just can't say enough
and I'm really excited about it
00:12:51.50\00:12:53.97
and we're hoping to shoot
00:12:54.00\00:12:56.50
more... because I don't
want it to just be a singular
00:12:56.54\00:12:59.51
documentary but I
want it to be a series
00:12:59.54\00:13:02.18
to continue to
expound on these truths
00:13:02.21\00:13:04.68
concerning Mystery
Babylon because I believe,
00:13:04.75\00:13:06.82
now is the time to
open up these things
00:13:06.85\00:13:09.35
to the minds of the masses
00:13:09.38\00:13:10.72
so that as the
crisis comes upon us,
00:13:10.79\00:13:12.92
people can make a
very clear decision
00:13:12.99\00:13:15.16
based off of Biblical truth.
00:13:15.19\00:13:16.52
Absolutely,
absolutely, it's funny
00:13:16.56\00:13:19.53
because the people at
home, they don't know about
00:13:19.56\00:13:23.13
some of the things that...
the devil is busy basically...
00:13:23.16\00:13:26.74
that's right... Exactly...
00:13:26.80\00:13:28.14
So he's trying to keep
these message from getting out
00:13:28.17\00:13:30.57
and he throws us little
curve balls here and there,
00:13:30.61\00:13:33.24
but thank God we
serve a God that is
00:13:33.27\00:13:36.81
bigger, better and
stronger than the devil
00:13:36.85\00:13:38.88
and we will get
these messages out.
00:13:38.91\00:13:40.88
Amen, amen, amen.
00:13:40.92\00:13:42.25
So, tell us a little
bit more about the Vatican
00:13:42.28\00:13:46.09
so you got out of that situation
00:13:46.12\00:13:48.26
Right. there were some people
00:13:48.29\00:13:50.39
who you had a chance
to share the truth with,
00:13:50.43\00:13:53.76
they saw the camera
and they were curious,
00:13:53.80\00:13:56.33
they were intrigued.
00:13:56.36\00:13:57.70
And it was an
awesome privilege because
00:13:57.73\00:14:00.04
realizing that no
matter where you go
00:14:00.07\00:14:02.60
God is trying to awaken
people's minds to the truth
00:14:02.64\00:14:07.28
even while we were
out there doing filming,
00:14:07.31\00:14:10.18
on Sabbath we attended the local
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:14:10.25\00:14:14.15
which, by the way, is only
15 minutes from the Vatican,
00:14:14.22\00:14:16.45
a 15-minute
walk from the Vatican
00:14:16.48\00:14:18.82
which I find very interesting
00:14:18.85\00:14:20.19
but there were two
faithful sisters there,
00:14:20.26\00:14:23.53
there was a
mother and a daughter,
00:14:23.56\00:14:26.13
that are there at
that local church,
00:14:26.16\00:14:28.06
that do evangelism in the area,
00:14:28.10\00:14:31.30
they put together
some tracts dealing with
00:14:31.33\00:14:33.54
the Ten Commandments
as God has given them,
00:14:33.60\00:14:35.74
to us in the Bible, and also how
00:14:35.77\00:14:37.57
the Papacy is responsible for
changing God's Ten Commandments
00:14:37.61\00:14:41.98
and a really
thorough Bible Study
00:14:42.01\00:14:44.61
that they put together
in the Italian language,
00:14:44.65\00:14:46.38
and so we went out in the
street with those tracts as well
00:14:46.41\00:14:49.72
as well as Great Controversies,
00:14:49.75\00:14:51.09
and we were sharing
them with individuals,
00:14:51.12\00:14:52.72
sharing them with nuns,
sharing them with priests,
00:14:52.75\00:14:55.09
and they're actually
receiving these things,
00:14:55.12\00:14:57.79
as a matter of fact,
the last Great Controversy
00:14:57.83\00:14:59.73
that I had... Wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait,
00:14:59.76\00:15:01.66
the Priests
were receiving these?
00:15:01.70\00:15:04.60
That's right, the
priests were receiving them,
00:15:04.63\00:15:06.17
the Lord is waking
up people everywhere,
00:15:06.20\00:15:09.47
very interesting,
00:15:09.50\00:15:10.84
a part of that
mother-daughter team,
00:15:10.91\00:15:12.81
there's a gentleman that
used to be a part of the Mafia
00:15:12.84\00:15:15.48
that... an other
gentleman, that works with them
00:15:15.51\00:15:18.48
and he gives out
Great Controversies
00:15:18.51\00:15:22.75
to Bishops, to Cardinals,
00:15:22.82\00:15:24.52
they've thrown him
in prison several times
00:15:24.55\00:15:27.29
but when he
comes out, he still...
00:15:27.36\00:15:29.52
they're doing the
work inside of the Vatican,
00:15:29.56\00:15:32.29
some place where people
wouldn't even be thinking
00:15:32.33\00:15:34.96
that the work is going forward
00:15:35.00\00:15:36.46
the message is going forward
00:15:36.50\00:15:37.90
and we're talking about
not a watered-down gospel,
00:15:37.93\00:15:40.10
we're talking about the full
throttle three angels' messages
00:15:40.14\00:15:43.37
uncut, the straight testimony
00:15:43.41\00:15:45.24
going right into the
Vatican, very powerful.
00:15:45.27\00:15:47.24
Around the world.
Around the world... right.
00:15:47.28\00:15:49.14
That is
amazing, that is amazing!
00:15:49.18\00:15:50.81
Well, we're definitely glad
00:15:50.85\00:15:52.18
that you made it
out of that situation.
00:15:52.21\00:15:53.55
I'm glad I did... too.
00:15:53.58\00:15:54.92
That you have the
opportunity to go to the Vatican
00:15:54.95\00:15:56.52
and share the
three angels' message
00:15:56.55\00:15:58.62
and preach on Revelation
13 and that's very interesting
00:15:58.65\00:16:03.39
what you said
about having a camera
00:16:03.46\00:16:05.26
and preaching in the streets,
00:16:05.29\00:16:06.63
because when
people see the camera,
00:16:06.66\00:16:08.10
they are naturally
curious to see what's going on.
00:16:08.13\00:16:11.23
Exactly. So, that, I'm sure,
00:16:11.27\00:16:13.57
we might see a lot
of people doing that
00:16:13.64\00:16:15.44
in the near future,
getting the Word out.
00:16:15.47\00:16:17.24
I hope so, definitely.
00:16:17.31\00:16:18.64
So, what else can
we expect from you,
00:16:18.67\00:16:23.04
you're going to be
preaching on end-time events,
00:16:23.08\00:16:25.48
and give us a
little taste on particulars
00:16:25.55\00:16:32.62
that you're talking about.
00:16:32.65\00:16:34.19
Well, I know time
is not on our side,
00:16:34.26\00:16:39.23
but I'm really going to
be drawing a lot from the
00:16:39.26\00:16:42.40
books of Daniel and Revelation
00:16:42.43\00:16:43.77
during this
Foundation of our Faith series
00:16:43.83\00:16:46.30
I want to highlight the
very important present truths
00:16:46.33\00:16:50.17
that are right before
each and every one of us
00:16:50.21\00:16:52.67
that we need to take very,
very, very important note of
00:16:52.71\00:16:57.51
because I realize that
we're living in a time in which,
00:16:57.55\00:17:01.52
many of us are
allowing the cares of this life
00:17:01.55\00:17:04.82
to seize upon our
minds and to hold our time
00:17:04.85\00:17:08.12
and our focus
00:17:08.16\00:17:10.06
and all of these
things are happening
00:17:10.09\00:17:12.53
right before our face,
00:17:12.56\00:17:13.93
and because a nuclear warhead
00:17:13.96\00:17:15.33
hasn't fallen down on the ground
00:17:15.36\00:17:16.77
because nobody in
our immediate family
00:17:16.80\00:17:18.47
has been gunned down on the road
00:17:18.50\00:17:19.83
or something of this
nature, we're not startled,
00:17:19.87\00:17:21.94
we're not being
driven to action,
00:17:21.97\00:17:24.44
we're not
realizing the imminent nature
00:17:24.47\00:17:26.91
of the crisis
that's right before us
00:17:26.98\00:17:29.18
and, therefore,
I'm really praying that
00:17:29.21\00:17:31.38
as we go through the Bible,
00:17:31.41\00:17:32.75
and the current
events, people will see
00:17:32.78\00:17:34.45
that this crisis is
imminent and we need Jesus now.
00:17:34.48\00:17:37.59
Amen, and I'll tell you what,
00:17:37.62\00:17:39.12
we are looking forward
to hearing the message,
00:17:39.15\00:17:40.89
thank you so much
Chris. Definitely, my brother,
00:17:40.96\00:17:42.92
God bless. You too.
00:17:42.96\00:17:44.66
I also had the opportunity
00:17:44.69\00:17:47.30
to interview our
Musical Evangelist,
00:17:47.30\00:17:49.40
Celestine Barry,
let's check it out.
00:17:49.43\00:17:51.47
It's great to be here today
with our musical evangelist,
00:17:51.50\00:17:56.97
Celestine Barry,
welcome Celestine.
00:17:57.01\00:17:59.91
Thank you for having me.
00:17:59.94\00:18:02.38
No problem, so tell us
a little bit about you,
00:18:02.41\00:18:04.91
tell us about your
background, where are you from?
00:18:04.95\00:18:07.45
From the Philippines,
and I got here in 1999.
00:18:07.48\00:18:14.29
Okay, 1999, and you are
00:18:14.32\00:18:18.09
married to Michael Barry? Yes.
00:18:18.13\00:18:20.83
You have two wonderful kids?
00:18:20.86\00:18:22.16
Yes, correct.
00:18:22.20\00:18:23.57
And one of your kids,
Farrah, is extremely talented
00:18:23.60\00:18:27.77
on the piano
among other instruments.
00:18:27.80\00:18:30.01
Praise the
Lord, praise the Lord.
00:18:30.04\00:18:31.67
How long have you been singing?
00:18:31.74\00:18:33.38
I think since five-years old,
I used to sing with my siblings
00:18:33.41\00:18:41.25
and all the choir
and do it with my sister,
00:18:41.28\00:18:45.59
I miss that, yeah.
00:18:45.62\00:18:47.46
Oh, okay, so you used to
do duets with your sister and
00:18:47.49\00:18:50.86
you've been singing
since you were five.
00:18:50.93\00:18:52.86
Yes.
00:18:52.89\00:18:54.20
And when did you realize
that you could really sing?
00:18:54.30\00:18:56.56
Oh! I don't know,
it's just... God just...
00:18:56.63\00:19:02.50
Just blessed you
with the gift, okay, okay.
00:19:02.54\00:19:06.57
Yeah, God is very
good, God is really good.
00:19:06.61\00:19:11.45
And how long have you
and Michael been singing
00:19:11.48\00:19:16.12
and playing the piano?
00:19:16.15\00:19:17.52
We started in 2000,
when I got here in 1999
00:19:17.55\00:19:22.82
and, of course, he used to
be in Rock 'n' Roll lifestyle,
00:19:22.86\00:19:29.40
so, I told him, you know what?
00:19:29.43\00:19:34.04
God put us
together for a purpose.
00:19:34.07\00:19:37.97
I said that, why
don't you change your
00:19:38.01\00:19:41.94
rock music into Christian music?
00:19:41.98\00:19:44.65
And then, that's how he started
to write songs... Christian...
00:19:44.68\00:19:52.39
which is really the...
00:19:52.42\00:19:54.06
the tempo is still a
little rocky, you know,
00:19:54.09\00:19:56.09
because you know, he's
been doing that all his life,
00:19:56.16\00:20:00.40
so, finally we got
our first CD in 2004
00:20:00.43\00:20:06.43
yeah, 2004, that's
the, "Show me the way" CD
00:20:06.47\00:20:12.51
so we were very blessed
00:20:12.54\00:20:14.91
that God led him
to write those songs
00:20:14.94\00:20:17.55
it's all originals.
00:20:17.61\00:20:18.95
Wow! so you had
your first CD in 2004,
00:20:18.98\00:20:23.12
it's your original music,
now I've heard him play before
00:20:23.15\00:20:27.16
and he is very talented as well,
00:20:27.22\00:20:29.39
so God has truly blessed
your family with musical gift.
00:20:29.42\00:20:34.10
Now, have you
always been a Christian,
00:20:34.13\00:20:36.60
have you always
been an Adventist?
00:20:36.63\00:20:40.30
My parents got baptized in 1975,
00:20:40.37\00:20:43.97
that's, when I was two-years
old I was born in 1973, so...
00:20:44.04\00:20:48.44
it's almost like
a "born Adventist"
00:20:48.48\00:20:52.65
but not... I grew up with that.
00:20:52.68\00:20:56.82
You grew up Adventist,
00:20:56.85\00:20:58.19
and how did you
and Michael meet?
00:20:58.22\00:20:59.92
Well, it's a long story but...
well, in the Philippines...
00:21:00.06\00:21:05.46
back in the day, in the '90s,
00:21:05.49\00:21:07.60
we do this pen pals, you
know, that's writing letters,
00:21:07.66\00:21:13.30
there was no
internet at that time,
00:21:13.34\00:21:16.34
like you can find
friends online but...
00:21:16.37\00:21:19.57
back then, I loved
it because it's letters
00:21:19.61\00:21:22.41
you wrote back and forth
and they have this magazine
00:21:22.44\00:21:27.02
so, Mike, saw my
picture in the magazine,
00:21:27.08\00:21:31.02
and it's funny because
00:21:31.05\00:21:33.52
there are like...
hundreds of women,
00:21:33.56\00:21:36.46
and for some reason,
00:21:36.49\00:21:38.13
I don't know why
he picked my face...
00:21:38.16\00:21:40.46
that was just... it wasn't
really a good picture of me
00:21:40.50\00:21:44.23
but I believe it
was the Holy Spirit
00:21:44.27\00:21:50.44
who led him to pick that photo
00:21:50.47\00:21:54.94
because when he saw my hobbies,
00:21:54.98\00:21:59.41
or... of course,
singing religious songs
00:21:59.45\00:22:02.85
and camping, that
just attracted him
00:22:02.88\00:22:06.19
like... really, that's all?
00:22:06.22\00:22:07.82
And then, he got
really interested
00:22:07.86\00:22:09.89
so he wrote me a letter and
six months later, I replied,
00:22:09.92\00:22:14.30
I didn't get the
letter right away because
00:22:14.30\00:22:17.47
I worked in Manila,
which is far from my hometown
00:22:17.53\00:22:21.94
so my parents received his
letter first... before me...
00:22:21.97\00:22:27.14
so, that's how we
got to know each other
00:22:27.18\00:22:33.58
and for a couple of
years we wrote back and forth.
00:22:33.62\00:22:37.82
Wow! and your parents got
his letter to you... first?
00:22:37.85\00:22:42.02
Yeah, yes, his letter
got to my parents first,
00:22:42.06\00:22:46.76
is that right, okay, yeah.
00:22:46.80\00:22:49.00
Okay, okay, okay.
00:22:49.03\00:22:50.50
Yeah, and then I got it,
00:22:50.53\00:22:53.57
I think a month later
and then I responded to him
00:22:53.60\00:22:56.74
six months later, yeah.
00:22:56.77\00:22:59.37
Okay, and the rest
is history from there.
00:22:59.44\00:23:01.34
Yes, yes, and so I...
00:23:01.38\00:23:02.98
it was really a blessing how...
00:23:03.01\00:23:07.12
how God can do things,
I would have never thought
00:23:07.15\00:23:12.52
that I met a musical
man because all my life
00:23:12.55\00:23:19.89
I wanted to
serve the Lord, yes...
00:23:19.93\00:23:23.00
Yes and you two complement
each other so very well.
00:23:23.03\00:23:26.40
Oh man! it's such a
blessing, such a blessing...
00:23:26.43\00:23:29.74
What can we expect from
you on Foundation of our Faith,
00:23:29.80\00:23:34.68
what songs can we
expect you to be singing?
00:23:34.71\00:23:38.11
I'm going to be singing
about how to be like Jesus
00:23:38.15\00:23:42.85
it's our desire to be like Jesus
00:23:42.88\00:23:44.99
and to mold into His likeness
00:23:45.02\00:23:47.12
and the other one is,
00:23:47.16\00:23:50.39
"God always makes a way
when there seems to be no way"
00:23:50.43\00:23:54.66
so, it's just the
perfect timing you know,
00:23:54.73\00:23:59.50
Yes, yes. Yeah, it's...
00:23:59.53\00:24:01.24
even though you get
through a lot of trials in life,
00:24:01.27\00:24:04.91
but God always makes a way.
00:24:04.94\00:24:07.38
Amen and you have a duet,
00:24:07.41\00:24:10.65
you're going to be
doing a duet, correct,
00:24:10.68\00:24:12.81
Yes, yes.
00:24:12.88\00:24:14.65
with our very own
Pastor John Lomacang.
00:24:14.68\00:24:16.35
Yes, yes, oh boy! it's
such an honor and a privilege
00:24:16.38\00:24:19.65
to finally get
to sing with Pastor,
00:24:19.72\00:24:22.59
I've been bugging
him for a few years,
00:24:22.62\00:24:25.46
yes, because, I love
duets, I love singing duets,
00:24:25.49\00:24:30.73
and, of course, I
couldn't find anyone here
00:24:30.83\00:24:33.94
so, I asked the
Pastor, I'm like,
00:24:34.00\00:24:36.44
"Pastor, could we do a
duet?" and this and that,
00:24:36.47\00:24:38.07
and, of course, he's so busy
and finally God made that happen
00:24:38.11\00:24:42.88
I'm so glad, I'm so excited.
00:24:42.91\00:24:45.55
Well, we are excited too,
he's a hard guy to catch up with
00:24:45.58\00:24:49.42
he's always busy,
he's busy, busy, busy.
00:24:49.45\00:24:52.32
Yes, very busy...
00:24:52.35\00:24:53.72
So yes, we are definitely
looking forward to that,
00:24:53.76\00:24:57.73
we've also had Farrah on
one of our other programs
00:24:57.76\00:25:01.53
your daughter, Farrah,
on one of our other programs
00:25:01.56\00:25:04.93
called, "Magnify
Him" which our Viewers
00:25:04.97\00:25:07.27
should definitely
check out as well,
00:25:07.34\00:25:09.87
so, you're going
to be singing a duet
00:25:09.90\00:25:12.14
and then you're going to also do
00:25:12.17\00:25:14.38
three other songs for us,
00:25:14.41\00:25:16.01
so we're going to be
richly blessed by your music,
00:25:16.04\00:25:18.95
and we're looking forward to it.
00:25:18.98\00:25:20.82
Oh, praise the Lord.
00:25:20.85\00:25:22.18
So, you also
have a Facebook page
00:25:22.22\00:25:25.29
that I'm just now
finding out about that I saw,
00:25:25.32\00:25:29.29
that you have 63,500
and something "Likes" on it.
00:25:29.36\00:25:32.69
Praise the Lord.
00:25:32.73\00:25:34.10
So you are spreading the
gospel through your music
00:25:34.10\00:25:37.83
to a lot of people.
00:25:37.87\00:25:39.20
Yes and it's so exciting, we
just released our first video
00:25:39.23\00:25:43.17
which is, "At the Cross"
00:25:43.20\00:25:45.47
and Brandon
Armstrong did all the video and
00:25:45.51\00:25:50.51
it's such a blessing finally,
00:25:50.55\00:25:52.48
it's such a blessing to be able
to share the gospel of Christ
00:25:52.51\00:25:56.95
through songs and
00:25:56.99\00:25:58.32
it's such a
beautiful song that Mike wrote
00:25:58.35\00:26:00.09
when he was
very ill back in 2009
00:26:00.12\00:26:02.89
and a lot of doctors thought
that he was not going to make it
00:26:02.92\00:26:06.39
but, man! God is
good, God is good.
00:26:06.43\00:26:09.63
Yes, yes, we spent some
time in the resort together.
00:26:09.66\00:26:13.74
Yeah, that's
right, that's right,
00:26:13.77\00:26:16.44
that was such a
wonderful time yes.
00:26:16.47\00:26:19.04
Yeah, and when
I say "the resort"
00:26:19.07\00:26:21.18
I'm talking about the hospital
00:26:21.21\00:26:23.24
it's not the
resort we went on vacation
00:26:23.28\00:26:26.01
it wasn't a pleasant trip,
00:26:26.05\00:26:28.02
but, yes, there are so
many prayers going up for him
00:26:28.05\00:26:32.49
and we want our Viewers
to pray for him as well,
00:26:32.52\00:26:36.93
please pray for Michael Barry
00:26:36.96\00:26:38.86
Thank you so much.
00:26:38.89\00:26:40.40
and that God will
00:26:40.43\00:26:41.80
again as He often
been the ultimate physician
00:26:41.83\00:26:46.40
and will bring
him back to health.
00:26:46.43\00:26:47.77
Amen, amen.
00:26:47.80\00:26:49.14
So, we are excited
about hearing you sing,
00:26:49.17\00:26:51.81
I can't wait to hear you sing,
00:26:51.84\00:26:53.84
and this duet is
definitely going to be special
00:26:53.88\00:26:58.71
because it will be
you and Pastor Lomacang,
00:26:58.75\00:27:03.25
but yes, we are
looking forward to that.
00:27:03.28\00:27:07.22
I want to thank you
so much for joining us.
00:27:07.29\00:27:11.09
Thank you for having
me, this is such a blessing.
00:27:11.13\00:27:14.00
And you at home will be
richly blessed by this music.
00:27:14.03\00:27:16.50
Praise the Lord. Thank you.
00:27:16.53\00:27:18.23
Thank you.
00:27:18.27\00:27:19.60
It's always great seeing
people utilize their talents
00:27:19.63\00:27:24.34
to honor and glorify God,
00:27:24.37\00:27:27.18
the gift that God gave them,
they're giving it back to God
00:27:27.21\00:27:30.35
with their praise
and preaching the truth
00:27:30.38\00:27:32.41
and spreading the gospel.
00:27:32.45\00:27:33.82
Today's program is dedicated
to the memory of Michael Barry
00:27:33.85\00:27:38.22
who passed away
after this interview.
00:27:38.25\00:27:40.36
Michael Barry was
such a wonderful person,
00:27:40.39\00:27:43.32
I gave him the
nickname, "Mellow Mike"
00:27:43.36\00:27:46.26
because no matter
what he was going through,
00:27:46.29\00:27:48.40
he always had such a
positive and cheerful attitude.
00:27:48.43\00:27:53.60
Michael Barry was a family man
00:27:53.64\00:27:56.47
he was married
to Celestine Barry
00:27:56.54\00:27:59.34
and has two children,
00:27:59.37\00:28:01.44
please keep
their family in prayer.
00:28:01.51\00:28:04.11
God bless.
00:28:04.18\00:28:05.51
