In order to reach
people for Christ these days,
00:00:01.33\00:00:03.43
you have to
think outside the box.
00:00:03.47\00:00:05.87
Stay tuned to meet
three men who do just that.
00:00:05.90\00:00:09.07
My name is Yvonne Lewis-Shelton.
00:00:09.10\00:00:11.07
And I'm Jason Bradley,
00:00:11.11\00:00:12.44
and you're

00:00:12.47\00:00:16.75
Hello, and

And, Jason, I'm so
glad you're with me.
00:00:42.30\00:00:44.87
Good to be with you here.
00:00:44.91\00:00:46.24
Yay. Yay.

We have a great
program today. Oh, we do.
00:00:47.64\00:00:49.64
We have a wonderful program.
00:00:49.68\00:00:51.38
Our guests today are Don Frost,
00:00:51.41\00:00:53.95
who's the President

00:01:03.22\00:01:05.89
of Seventh-day Adventist.
00:01:05.93\00:01:07.60
Welcome to Urban Report.
00:01:07.60\00:01:09.33
Glad to be here. Thank you.
00:01:09.36\00:01:10.77
It's so great.
00:01:10.83\00:01:12.17
You guys are working
on an amazing project.
00:01:12.20\00:01:15.57
And that's why you're here
to tell us about the project.
00:01:15.60\00:01:18.17
But, Brother
Don, you were saying
00:01:18.21\00:01:20.08
that you have
something you want to say,
00:01:20.14\00:01:21.81
and you wouldn't
tell us what it was.
00:01:21.84\00:01:23.18
This is completely unscripted,
00:01:23.21\00:01:24.55
they have no idea
what I'm gonna say.
00:01:24.58\00:01:26.78
But I have a small testimony.
00:01:26.82\00:01:28.15
This is the third
time that I visited here,
00:01:28.18\00:01:31.99
at 3ABN here at
the world headquarters.
00:01:32.02\00:01:34.72
And I wanna tell a story
about the first time I came.
00:01:34.76\00:01:37.19
Okay.
00:01:37.23\00:01:38.56
So I was on my way back
00:01:38.59\00:01:39.93
from an outreach project
that I was doing in Nashville,
00:01:39.96\00:01:42.66
had no idea that I
was gonna come to 3ABN
00:01:42.70\00:01:45.57
and I had been working
there for several weeks.
00:01:45.60\00:01:48.20
And I had, you know, I
was on my way back home,
00:01:48.24\00:01:52.11
back west to the northwest.
00:01:52.14\00:01:54.11
And I had been told
by one of your associates
00:01:54.14\00:01:58.31
to stop by 3ABN
to talk to somebody
00:01:58.35\00:02:01.32
about a project
that I was working on.
00:02:01.35\00:02:04.09
Anyway, I didn't
even think about it.
00:02:04.12\00:02:05.59
And I said to myself
00:02:05.62\00:02:06.96
self says I as I
was driving home.
00:02:06.99\00:02:09.76
I said I'm near 3ABN I think.
00:02:09.79\00:02:12.76
And so I looked it up
and I was like 10 miles away.
00:02:12.79\00:02:15.06
Wow! Wow!
00:02:15.10\00:02:16.43
Now here's the thing.
00:02:16.46\00:02:18.03
I had run out of
clothes, clean clothes, right?
00:02:18.07\00:02:20.90
And I didn't know
that I was coming to 3ABN.
00:02:20.94\00:02:23.20
But I carry a pair of clothes
with me when I'm travelling,
00:02:23.24\00:02:26.68
that have like oil
stains on them, and paint,
00:02:26.74\00:02:29.01
and stuff like this in
case a motorists breaks down,
00:02:29.21\00:02:31.95
and they need some work
done on the side of the road
00:02:31.98\00:02:33.58
to help them get going.
00:02:33.62\00:02:34.95
And so as I was traveling home,
00:02:34.98\00:02:37.05
I was down to my last
pair of clean clothes,
00:02:37.09\00:02:39.15
and I didn't have
time to do laundry,
00:02:39.19\00:02:41.02
but put these dirty clothes on.
00:02:41.06\00:02:44.39
And I said
00:02:44.43\00:02:46.09
well, I'm going to
3ABN to talk to some folks
00:02:46.13\00:02:49.26
about this project
that we're working on.
00:02:49.30\00:02:51.43
And I didn't know what to expect
00:02:51.47\00:02:53.37
if I'd get thrown
out of here or whatever.
00:02:53.40\00:02:55.57
Right?
00:02:55.60\00:02:56.94
So I walk in the front lobby
00:02:56.97\00:02:58.67
and you have another associate
that works here with you.
00:02:58.71\00:03:03.65
Her name is Christina.
00:03:03.68\00:03:05.01
Oh, yes.
00:03:05.05\00:03:06.38
And Christina had asked Jason,
00:03:06.41\00:03:08.78
you, to move this,
00:03:08.82\00:03:11.12
you have a live
heavy tree in the foyer,
00:03:11.15\00:03:14.89
and she wanted it moved,
00:03:14.92\00:03:16.73
and it was too
heavy for her to move,
00:03:16.76\00:03:18.26
so she asked Jason.
00:03:18.29\00:03:19.93
And she asked him to do this
00:03:20.00\00:03:22.70
right before I
walked in the front door.
00:03:22.73\00:03:25.43
And so do you remember this?
00:03:25.47\00:03:26.80
I do remember moving the tree.
00:03:26.84\00:03:28.17
And so I walked
in the front door.
00:03:28.20\00:03:30.27
And as I walked in,
I see this tree moving,
00:03:30.31\00:03:32.24
but I didn't see him.
00:03:32.27\00:03:37.21
It shocked me.
00:03:37.25\00:03:38.58
It startled me rather.
00:03:38.61\00:03:40.08
But here's the
story I wanna tell you.
00:03:40.12\00:03:44.25
Jason embraced me.
00:03:44.29\00:03:45.99
He didn't know who I was.
00:03:46.02\00:03:47.72
Even though I
literally look like
00:03:47.76\00:03:49.66
I just crawled
out of the gutter.
00:03:49.69\00:03:51.03
I mean, literally.
00:03:51.06\00:03:52.39
And then he entered, you know,
eventually I got to meet you.
00:03:52.43\00:03:55.86
And I was taken around 3ABN.
00:03:55.90\00:03:58.03
And I tell you,
I was so impressed
00:03:58.07\00:04:00.64
'cause I could have
just been literally anybody
00:04:00.67\00:04:03.61
and I am anyway.
00:04:03.64\00:04:04.97
But, you know, I
wrote you a letter later on.
00:04:05.01\00:04:07.81
And I said, you
know, when I visited 3ABN
00:04:07.84\00:04:11.08
I had no idea what to expect.
00:04:11.11\00:04:12.78
But I saw Christ here at 3ABN.
00:04:12.81\00:04:14.15
Praise the Lord.
00:04:14.22\00:04:15.55
That's the nicest
thing you could say.
00:04:15.58\00:04:16.92
I just want to
share it. Praise the Lord.
00:04:16.95\00:04:18.29
Thank you so
much. Praise the Lord.
00:04:18.32\00:04:20.36
Well, we must I
didn't even notice
00:04:20.39\00:04:23.53
that you have won.
00:04:23.56\00:04:25.13
So we must have seen
Christ in you as well
00:04:25.16\00:04:27.10
because your
passion for this project
00:04:27.13\00:04:30.43
just comes through.
00:04:30.47\00:04:32.23
Yeah.
00:04:32.27\00:04:33.60
So thank you so
much. Absolutely.
00:04:33.64\00:04:34.97
Yeah, I didn't realize you
had those clothes on either.
00:04:35.00\00:04:37.07
I wasn't even
paying attention to.
00:04:37.11\00:04:38.81
But if I were you
and I were walking up
00:04:38.84\00:04:40.48
and I just saw a
tree moving by itself,
00:04:40.54\00:04:43.31
I would have turned
around and left the other way.
00:04:43.35\00:04:45.25
But I'm glad you stuck around.
00:04:45.28\00:04:46.61
This is where I wanted to be.
00:04:46.68\00:04:48.88
Oh, this is the
place of miracles.
00:04:48.92\00:04:50.25
That's true.
00:04:50.29\00:04:51.62
Right, right.
00:04:51.65\00:04:52.99
So speaking of miracles,
00:04:53.02\00:04:54.36
let's talk about
what you guys are doing
00:04:54.39\00:04:56.16
because this is an
incredible project.
00:04:56.19\00:04:58.73
And it's based on what?
00:04:58.76\00:05:00.93
Well, it's based
on Daniel Chapter 2.
00:05:00.96\00:05:03.97
And it's based on
that Daniel Chapter 2
00:05:04.00\00:05:06.60
is an exciting story.
00:05:06.63\00:05:08.54
It's an easy to
understand prophecy
00:05:08.57\00:05:10.97
that can illustrate
to people quite quickly,
00:05:11.01\00:05:14.08
that the Bible can be trusted,
00:05:14.11\00:05:15.54
a 2,500 year old prophecy
that hasn't failed in anyway.
00:05:15.58\00:05:19.95
And, you know, we
need to reach the cities.
00:05:20.02\00:05:22.85
Yes.
00:05:22.88\00:05:24.22
And we need to
go into the cities
00:05:24.29\00:05:25.62
and people have there...
00:05:25.65\00:05:27.46
It's a busy world,
00:05:27.49\00:05:28.82
and we need to do things
00:05:28.86\00:05:30.26
that's going to
arrest their attention,
00:05:30.33\00:05:32.46
so that they even have a thought
00:05:32.49\00:05:34.83
of thinking
about the scriptures.
00:05:34.86\00:05:36.20
And so what we've done
is we've built a statue,
00:05:36.23\00:05:39.83
a large statue,
almost four stories tall,
00:05:39.87\00:05:43.20
of the dream that
Nebuchadnezzar had
00:05:43.24\00:05:45.51
with the, you know,
the gold, the silver,
00:05:45.54\00:05:47.88
the bronze, and the iron,
and the feet of clay and iron.
00:05:47.91\00:05:51.08
And working with
these men right here
00:05:51.11\00:05:54.12
that I believe the Lord
has brought to their position
00:05:54.18\00:05:58.29
for such a time as
this to have the vision
00:05:58.32\00:06:01.02
to use this amazing statue
00:06:01.06\00:06:04.43
that Heal Their
Land has been privileged
00:06:04.46\00:06:07.66
to be a part of and help build
00:06:07.73\00:06:09.66
so that it can
be then turned over
00:06:09.70\00:06:11.50
to be used to reach the city
of Las Vegas and urban area.
00:06:11.53\00:06:17.01
It's incredible.
00:06:17.04\00:06:18.37
So and you, Pastor, are
the pastor of the church,
00:06:18.41\00:06:21.34
that's you sponsoring
this whole evangelistic thrust
00:06:21.38\00:06:26.92
out of your church
and all the conferences,
00:06:26.95\00:06:28.72
but are you sponsoring that?
00:06:28.75\00:06:30.79
What's your
relationship with that?
00:06:30.82\00:06:32.42
Don and I, one of
my church members,
00:06:32.45\00:06:35.99
who is a member of
the ASI board knows Don
00:06:36.02\00:06:41.83
and she called me
and told me about this.
00:06:41.86\00:06:45.30
And the minute I heard
her tell me about this,
00:06:45.33\00:06:48.30
I thought two things,
Paradise will support this.
00:06:48.34\00:06:52.74
And I want that image.
00:06:52.77\00:06:56.08
Because people are visual.
00:06:56.11\00:06:59.91
Las Vegas,
everything has to do with site
00:07:00.05\00:07:03.32
and even though at
surface, it attracts people.
00:07:03.35\00:07:07.99
And this image
will create an interest
00:07:08.02\00:07:12.19
and curiosity
that we can fulfill
00:07:12.23\00:07:15.03
by doing the
whole book of Daniel
00:07:15.06\00:07:18.13
one chapter a
night, so to speak.
00:07:18.17\00:07:20.64
Oh, that's great.
00:07:20.67\00:07:22.64
This beautiful message.
00:07:22.67\00:07:24.21
That's really gonna
draw people in for sure.
00:07:24.24\00:07:26.54
I mean, I imagine
I can only imagine
00:07:26.57\00:07:29.11
like driving by and looking over
00:07:29.14\00:07:30.95
and seeing this huge statue,
00:07:30.98\00:07:33.92
I would want to stop and
see what that's all about.
00:07:33.95\00:07:36.15
So now, that's that is great.
00:07:36.18\00:07:38.62
Dr. Brown,
what's your involvement?
00:07:38.65\00:07:40.46
Well, so Peter
called me and said, he says,
00:07:40.49\00:07:43.53
"Chief, I got a
proposal for you."
00:07:43.56\00:07:48.50
And he starts to explain
to me exactly what happened.
00:07:48.53\00:07:52.30
And, you know, as a
church administrator,
00:07:52.33\00:07:54.44
you wanna make sure
that everything you do
00:07:54.47\00:07:57.07
is you've got to vet it,
00:07:57.11\00:07:58.44
you just can't just
up say yes to everything.
00:07:58.47\00:08:00.74
Right.
00:08:00.81\00:08:02.14
So, and so we
began to make calls
00:08:02.18\00:08:04.58
to try to make sure
I understood exactly
00:08:04.61\00:08:06.11
what was going on.
00:08:06.15\00:08:07.48
There were a couple
things that concern me,
00:08:07.55\00:08:08.88
first of all, you know,
00:08:08.92\00:08:10.25
not only the statute come
into Vegas would be coming.
00:08:10.29\00:08:13.09
But there's also a symposium
00:08:13.12\00:08:14.46
that was supposed to be
held along with that, right?
00:08:14.49\00:08:16.96
So I wanted to understand
how this is all gonna work.
00:08:16.99\00:08:20.33
What were the impacts, you know,
00:08:20.36\00:08:22.20
and as we begin
to talk about it,
00:08:22.23\00:08:23.97
I discovered that it
was a Daniel 11 symposium
00:08:24.00\00:08:26.84
that was gonna take
place during that same time.
00:08:26.87\00:08:29.44
And, you know, in the church,
00:08:29.47\00:08:30.81
there are
different views on Daniel 11.
00:08:30.84\00:08:32.94
And so when I
talked to the pastor,
00:08:32.97\00:08:35.11
one of the
things we talked about
00:08:35.14\00:08:36.48
was the fact that above
and beyond everything else,
00:08:36.51\00:08:38.68
we wanted to make sure
00:08:38.71\00:08:40.05
that this produced
unity and not division.
00:08:40.12\00:08:43.32
That was the first thing.
00:08:43.39\00:08:44.72
We've got enough divisive ideas,
00:08:44.75\00:08:46.76
and, you know, and we
want in Nevada-Utah Conference
00:08:46.79\00:08:49.79
for things to be,
you know, about unity
00:08:49.82\00:08:51.96
and how to bring us together.
00:08:51.99\00:08:53.80
And that's what, you
know, came out of discussion
00:08:53.83\00:08:56.06
that this was about unity.
00:08:56.10\00:08:57.57
So not only is this
statue gonna be placed
00:08:57.60\00:09:00.77
in somewhere in Las Vegas,
00:09:00.80\00:09:03.00
but there's also
a Daniel 11 seminar.
00:09:03.04\00:09:05.94
And then even the same people
00:09:05.97\00:09:07.34
that are doing a presentation
will also in the evening
00:09:07.41\00:09:10.11
will be doing a Daniel 2
handout flyers and discussing.
00:09:10.18\00:09:13.05
So they're gonna come together,
00:09:13.08\00:09:14.45
there's not gonna
be this great division,
00:09:14.48\00:09:16.22
which makes me so happy.
00:09:16.25\00:09:17.62
Yes. Yes.
00:09:17.65\00:09:18.99
In fact, we have a
video role of the tree
00:09:19.02\00:09:22.69
that this
sculpture was taken from.
00:09:22.72\00:09:25.19
So let's take a look.
00:09:25.23\00:09:27.83
That's not good.
00:10:39.97\00:10:41.44
Wow! That is amazing.
00:11:48.97\00:11:50.91
Is that incredible or what?
00:11:50.94\00:11:52.27
Incredible, incredible.
00:11:52.31\00:11:54.28
What? Why did
you pick that tree?
00:11:54.31\00:11:56.91
Like what was
special about that tree?
00:11:56.98\00:11:58.91
Well, the two trees
that are preferential
00:11:58.95\00:12:01.08
for this kind of
carving is cedar and redwood.
00:12:01.12\00:12:03.79
And so it actually took a
couple years to find a tree
00:12:03.82\00:12:07.82
that was big enough
to be able to carve.
00:12:07.86\00:12:10.86
And redwood trees
are generally protected,
00:12:10.93\00:12:13.50
especially once this size.
00:12:13.53\00:12:15.66
But you can get
special permits for them
00:12:15.70\00:12:17.93
if they're going to
endanger property life
00:12:17.97\00:12:22.04
for things like this.
00:12:22.07\00:12:23.41
And so we were
able to take advantage
00:12:23.47\00:12:25.84
of a person had applied and,
00:12:25.87\00:12:29.28
and the tree was
gonna come down anyway.
00:12:29.31\00:12:32.45
And they were gonna take it
and haul it off to the mill.
00:12:32.48\00:12:35.45
And we were told that
there was $85,000 worth
00:12:35.48\00:12:38.82
of board feet of lumber of
redwood lumber in the tree.
00:12:38.85\00:12:43.12
And we told the homeowner,
00:12:43.16\00:12:45.13
what we were doing
with it and he was touched.
00:12:45.16\00:12:47.56
And so we were able to
purchase the tree for $2,500.
00:12:47.60\00:12:52.03
Amen. Wow!
00:12:52.07\00:12:55.30
Then, you know, we
got this company here.
00:12:55.34\00:12:58.54
By the way,
00:12:58.57\00:12:59.91
one of my associates
was telling these young men
00:12:59.94\00:13:05.18
Silver Line Tree Service
there in Eureka, California,
00:13:05.21\00:13:10.79
about the story of Daniel 2.
00:13:10.82\00:13:12.82
And they invited my associate
to their church on Sunday,
00:13:12.85\00:13:18.59
that next week
after we cut the tree down
00:13:18.63\00:13:21.16
and to give a
presentation on Daniel 2.
00:13:21.20\00:13:23.73
Wow! Yes.
00:13:23.77\00:13:25.10
So it had even impact
from the very beginning.
00:13:25.13\00:13:26.47
Starting the work, yeah.
00:13:26.50\00:13:27.87
Yes. Look at that.
00:13:27.90\00:13:29.24
Look at how God just
brought everything together.
00:13:29.27\00:13:32.77
The inception of the whole idea,
00:13:32.81\00:13:35.44
how did that happen?
00:13:35.48\00:13:36.81
My wife.
00:13:36.85\00:13:39.35
So we have a very
good friend of ours,
00:13:39.38\00:13:42.88
named Pastor Kim Care,
00:13:42.92\00:13:44.25
he is a very good evangelist
00:13:44.29\00:13:47.12
and we were talking about
00:13:47.16\00:13:48.92
setting up a series
of meetings for him.
00:13:48.96\00:13:51.79
And my wife said, you
know, we should build,
00:13:51.83\00:13:55.13
excuse me sculpt
a Daniel 2 statue
00:13:55.16\00:13:59.87
like how the Bible
uses various sculptures
00:13:59.90\00:14:03.61
like the Ark of the Covenant.
00:14:03.64\00:14:05.14
And, you know, the God commanded
00:14:05.17\00:14:07.48
that the brazen
serpent be created.
00:14:07.51\00:14:10.15
So that people would be
able to have a visual aid.
00:14:10.18\00:14:13.72
And so we wanted
to, my wife said,
00:14:13.75\00:14:15.92
"Hey, would be a good
idea to make a visual aid,
00:14:15.95\00:14:18.92
maybe 8 or 10 foot sculpture
of the Daniel 2 image."
00:14:18.95\00:14:23.19
And as my wife
and I kept driving
00:14:23.22\00:14:25.86
the statue kept getting,
00:14:25.89\00:14:27.50
the sculptures kept
getting bigger and bigger.
00:14:27.50\00:14:29.50
Yeah.
00:14:29.53\00:14:30.87
And I'm glad you
said that visual aid
00:14:30.93\00:14:32.60
'cause we want people to know
00:14:32.63\00:14:34.20
that this is not a graven image.
00:14:34.24\00:14:35.77
This is not
something to be worshipped.
00:14:35.80\00:14:38.04
That's right.
00:14:38.07\00:14:39.41
It's something
that will draw people in
00:14:39.44\00:14:41.24
and they will go to the
evangelism side of things.
00:14:41.28\00:14:44.75
Yes. Absolutely.
00:14:44.78\00:14:46.25
So how tall is
this is the sculpture?
00:14:46.28\00:14:48.98
Well, the overall
height of it with the base,
00:14:49.02\00:14:53.42
including the base is
going to be 35 feet tall.
00:14:53.46\00:14:56.52
So just under four stories.
00:14:56.56\00:14:58.69
Just under four stories.
00:14:58.73\00:15:00.13
In fact, we have another
video that we're going to show
00:15:00.16\00:15:04.20
that we want you
to see about the tree.
00:15:04.27\00:15:07.04
Take a look.
00:15:07.07\00:15:11.27
We're hitting some.
00:15:11.31\00:15:16.68
I hope they come.
00:15:16.75\00:15:18.08
I hope it is metal.
00:15:18.11\00:15:19.45
Looks like little marbles.
00:15:26.15\00:15:28.86
Wow, not much.
00:15:28.89\00:15:31.46
Some kind of metal
that was drove in there.
00:15:31.49\00:15:33.80
Is that what is. Yep.
00:15:33.83\00:15:35.50
Right there. Looks like a spike.
00:15:35.53\00:15:37.60
Looks like a
spike drove in there.
00:15:37.63\00:15:40.04
Not that big around.
00:15:40.10\00:15:41.84
Right in the middle.
00:15:41.87\00:15:43.67
You need to work
around that thing, will you?
00:15:43.71\00:15:46.47
Well, we'll do it.
00:15:46.51\00:15:47.84
We'll do it. You are thrilled.
00:15:47.88\00:15:49.21
Did you see the detail?
00:17:53.74\00:17:55.57
Oh, yeah. The detail.
00:17:55.60\00:17:56.97
The amount of
detail in that sculpture
00:17:57.01\00:17:59.24
is just amazing to me.
00:17:59.27\00:18:01.44
It makes me think about,
00:18:01.48\00:18:02.81
you know, when the
children of Israel had
00:18:02.84\00:18:07.25
when they were
building the temple,
00:18:07.28\00:18:09.18
and they had different
people doing different things,
00:18:09.22\00:18:13.22
designing different things,
00:18:13.25\00:18:14.59
and how God gave
them the skills with that.
00:18:14.62\00:18:17.93
When the
sanctuary in the wilderness
00:18:17.96\00:18:19.29
was being created.
00:18:19.33\00:18:20.96
There was two, excuse me,
00:18:21.00\00:18:24.53
there was two
artisans that were used.
00:18:24.57\00:18:27.54
And so in this process, project,
00:18:27.57\00:18:30.91
we've had two artisans
working on this sculpture,
00:18:30.94\00:18:33.48
Eugene and Jason.
00:18:33.51\00:18:34.84
Tell us about them?
00:18:34.88\00:18:36.85
Well, Eugene is
the primary carver,
00:18:36.88\00:18:40.52
the master carver,
00:18:40.55\00:18:42.02
and he's the one
that had this idea
00:18:42.05\00:18:46.32
that he went to
the Lord and said,
00:18:46.35\00:18:47.69
Lord, my real gift is carving.
00:18:47.72\00:18:50.66
But how can I use
that for ministry?
00:18:50.73\00:18:53.50
And so when I
pitch to a church group,
00:18:53.53\00:18:58.40
the idea of, you know,
00:18:58.43\00:18:59.87
hey, does anybody
think that this is crazy
00:18:59.90\00:19:02.20
to make a giant statue of
the Nebuchadnezzar's dream,
00:19:02.24\00:19:05.94
but I don't know any carver.
00:19:05.97\00:19:07.71
And people pointed to Eugene.
00:19:07.74\00:19:09.24
And Eugene said, I have
been praying to the Lord
00:19:09.28\00:19:11.05
that the Lord would
bring me something I could do.
00:19:11.08\00:19:14.25
But right in the
middle of carving the project,
00:19:14.28\00:19:17.32
Eugene had a family tragedy,
00:19:17.35\00:19:20.09
in a very short span, he
lost both of his parents.
00:19:20.12\00:19:24.36
And so he had to
leave and go out of the area
00:19:24.39\00:19:29.03
to deal with that tragedy.
00:19:29.06\00:19:32.90
And that's when Jason stepped in
00:19:32.93\00:19:34.80
and helped keep the
project going along.
00:19:34.84\00:19:37.41
So the two of them,
you know, finished it out.
00:19:37.44\00:19:40.21
And side by side, were
able to bring it to completion.
00:19:40.28\00:19:42.71
Amen.
00:19:42.74\00:19:44.08
Look at how God
just orchestrates things
00:19:44.15\00:19:46.15
and brings people
together for His purposes.
00:19:46.18\00:19:49.12
That is just tremendous.
00:19:49.15\00:19:50.49
We have another video
that we wanna show right now
00:19:50.52\00:19:54.09
before our program is over
00:19:54.16\00:19:55.49
'cause it's really
winding up very quickly.
00:19:55.52\00:19:57.63
And so let's
take a look at this.
00:19:57.66\00:19:59.86
So when you see
this, this video,
00:22:20.34\00:22:24.64
what do you think about,
Pastor Peter and Dr. Brown?
00:22:24.67\00:22:27.34
What? How does it affect you?
00:22:27.38\00:22:28.94
And what do you think about?
00:22:28.98\00:22:31.65
You know, what I think
about is, is the fact that,
00:22:31.68\00:22:33.78
you know, we're so close
00:22:33.82\00:22:35.25
to the Second
Coming of Jesus Christ.
00:22:35.28\00:22:37.15
And our mission statement
for the Nevada-Utah Conference.
00:22:37.19\00:22:40.66
We're interested
in using creative ways
00:22:40.72\00:22:43.59
of reaching our community.
00:22:43.63\00:22:45.66
We've got three major regions,
00:22:45.69\00:22:47.36
we've got Salt Lake City,
we've got Las Vegas, and Reno.
00:22:47.40\00:22:51.70
And some churches along the,
00:22:51.73\00:22:53.57
six churches along
the California border.
00:22:53.60\00:22:55.57
And each of those
regions are different.
00:22:55.60\00:22:56.94
We've got approximately
almost 50 million people
00:22:56.97\00:23:00.18
that come into our region,
00:23:00.21\00:23:01.54
just visiting those
tourist attractions.
00:23:01.58\00:23:03.38
And we've got to find ways
00:23:03.45\00:23:04.91
to be able to
reach people for Christ.
00:23:04.95\00:23:06.28
And so when I heard about this,
00:23:06.31\00:23:07.68
it excites me
because now we have one tool,
00:23:07.72\00:23:11.02
and we can use in all
three of these regions,
00:23:11.05\00:23:13.66
if we wanted to.
00:23:13.69\00:23:15.02
And whatever else, you
know, as we look down the road,
00:23:15.06\00:23:17.46
we gonna try to
find different ways
00:23:17.53\00:23:18.86
to be able to
reach people for Christ.
00:23:18.89\00:23:20.40
Yes, amen.
00:23:20.43\00:23:21.73
And for me, it's, you know,
I'm a convert from Catholicism.
00:23:21.76\00:23:27.20
And I was in that church
00:23:27.24\00:23:29.34
and the largest
Christian church in the world,
00:23:29.37\00:23:33.38
and never heard
of the Second Coming
00:23:33.44\00:23:35.11
of Jesus Christ.
00:23:35.14\00:23:37.21
Never even,
didn't even have a Bible,
00:23:37.25\00:23:39.71
by the way.
00:23:39.75\00:23:41.62
And when I see that image,
00:23:41.65\00:23:44.15
I think of the
message that I heard
00:23:44.19\00:23:46.49
at this series of
meetings I attended,
00:23:46.52\00:23:50.09
and how it impacted me.
00:23:50.13\00:23:52.49
And I see that image to
me stands for our church
00:23:52.53\00:23:56.50
and what we represent
the everlasting gospel,
00:23:56.53\00:24:02.34
three angels'
messages, which is prophecy.
00:24:02.37\00:24:05.97
The Spirit of
Prophecy is the spirit
00:24:06.01\00:24:08.34
that's been all
the prophets all along.
00:24:08.54\00:24:11.61
And Revelation is the Revelation
00:24:11.65\00:24:14.38
of the Prophet Jesus Christ.
00:24:14.42\00:24:16.42
Yes. Amen.
00:24:16.62\00:24:17.95
And that's what I think of.
00:24:17.99\00:24:19.52
And that's why I'm so excited.
00:24:19.55\00:24:21.36
Yes.
00:24:21.39\00:24:22.72
To use it to
have a part of this,
00:24:22.76\00:24:25.03
to know, these gentlemen,
00:24:25.06\00:24:26.39
and what they have
done in their commitment.
00:24:26.43\00:24:30.07
And the goal is to get
this around the country, right?
00:24:30.13\00:24:34.80
To get this sculpture to be
in cities around the country.
00:24:35.00\00:24:40.28
Right?
00:24:40.34\00:24:41.68
What's gonna be unique
about the evangelism effort
00:24:41.71\00:24:46.25
when, say, for example,
00:24:46.28\00:24:47.98
people don't agree on Daniel 11,
00:24:48.02\00:24:49.85
what's gonna take place?
00:24:49.88\00:24:51.79
Well, we're
like was talked about
00:24:51.82\00:24:54.02
we're gonna have
this Daniel 11 symposium,
00:24:54.06\00:24:56.06
it's a somewhat
controverted part
00:24:56.09\00:24:59.33
of the Book of Daniel.
00:24:59.36\00:25:01.10
And we're inviting
people from all over the world
00:25:01.13\00:25:04.20
to come to this symposium.
00:25:04.27\00:25:05.80
But in the evening
time, we're gonna take people
00:25:05.83\00:25:09.27
that don't see eye
to eye on this topic,
00:25:09.30\00:25:12.37
we're gonna team
them up 'cause, you know,
00:25:12.41\00:25:13.81
we're counseled
go out two by two.
00:25:13.88\00:25:15.31
Right.
00:25:15.34\00:25:16.68
Go out into the highways
and the byways of Las Vegas,
00:25:16.75\00:25:19.58
and bid them to come to
the feast of this message
00:25:19.61\00:25:23.39
that will be
given in the evening
00:25:23.42\00:25:25.05
on Daniel 1 and 2.
00:25:25.09\00:25:26.42
The health message
00:25:26.45\00:25:27.79
and the
prophetic message together,
00:25:27.82\00:25:29.52
not separated, but together.
00:25:29.56\00:25:31.63
And there'll be able
to co-labor, you know,
00:25:31.66\00:25:35.20
when you're in
the trenches together,
00:25:35.23\00:25:37.13
like the two of you,
00:25:37.17\00:25:38.50
you're in the
trenches together, right?
00:25:38.53\00:25:39.87
Yeah. Yeah.
00:25:39.90\00:25:41.24
What happens is
it builds this bond.
00:25:41.27\00:25:43.91
And we believe all of
us here, we believe that
00:25:43.97\00:25:47.68
there can be unity in diversity.
00:25:47.71\00:25:49.44
Yes.
00:25:49.48\00:25:50.81
And so we're not asking anybody
to lay down their convictions
00:25:50.85\00:25:55.38
or anything like that,
00:25:55.42\00:25:57.25
but just pressed together
00:25:57.29\00:25:58.62
on the main
points and move forward.
00:25:58.65\00:26:00.72
Yes.
00:26:00.79\00:26:02.12
And quickly, what do you
need to accomplish your goals?
00:26:02.16\00:26:05.29
What are your needs here?
00:26:05.33\00:26:06.96
Number one, prayer. Yes.
00:26:07.03\00:26:08.96
Number one, prayer.
00:26:09.00\00:26:11.13
Of course, the Lord
is providing finances,
00:26:11.17\00:26:13.67
we're always needing finances,
00:26:13.74\00:26:15.17
we have some
expenses that need to be met,
00:26:15.20\00:26:17.31
but prayer's number one,
and just tell people about it.
00:26:17.34\00:26:21.81
And we have a website.
00:26:21.84\00:26:23.55
I'm gonna put up on the screen.
00:26:23.58\00:26:26.15
And that way people
can get in touch with you.
00:26:26.18\00:26:28.62
That's where they can
donate, if they're interested.
00:26:28.65\00:26:30.49
And this statue,
this sculpture rather.
00:26:30.52\00:26:34.49
Okay, it is a work of
art, it's for all of Adventism.
00:26:34.52\00:26:37.63
And we've put it together.
00:26:37.66\00:26:41.40
But we're encouraging
00:26:41.43\00:26:42.76
if you are a
church, a conference,
00:26:42.80\00:26:45.97
a union, whatever it is,
00:26:46.00\00:26:48.54
and you wanna
use this contact us.
00:26:48.57\00:26:50.87
And, you know,
00:26:50.91\00:26:52.24
you give the
message, we just help.
00:26:52.27\00:26:53.84
We're there to
assist you and your mission
00:26:53.88\00:26:56.75
to get out this
message of Jesus' soon coming.
00:26:56.81\00:26:59.25
Amen. Praise the Lord.
00:26:59.28\00:27:00.68
You know, there's
one thing I wanna add.
00:27:00.75\00:27:02.08
And that is, the thing
that's been driving me lately
00:27:02.12\00:27:04.59
is the fact that
we've got to turn
00:27:04.62\00:27:06.12
the work of evangelism
back over to our members.
00:27:06.15\00:27:09.16
And what we've done
is surrendered evangelism
00:27:09.19\00:27:11.69
to our pastors and with this,
00:27:11.73\00:27:14.20
the this
structure, we could use this
00:27:14.23\00:27:16.03
and any member could
take a pamphlet, or flyer,
00:27:16.06\00:27:19.00
and they can share
with the family member
00:27:19.03\00:27:20.94
because this
gospel of the kingdom
00:27:20.97\00:27:23.34
must be preached all the world.
00:27:23.41\00:27:24.74
And it's not the pastors,
00:27:24.77\00:27:26.11
it's all of us have been
called to complete that work.
00:27:26.14\00:27:28.44
So this invitation to the world.
00:27:28.48\00:27:30.05
Thank you.
00:27:30.08\00:27:31.41

time with myself flies.

really did. You really did.
00:27:34.45\00:27:36.35
We appreciate
your passion for this
00:27:36.38\00:27:38.95
and all that you're doing.

And we've reached the
end of another program.
00:27:48.30\00:27:51.07

00:27:52.80\00:27:55.30
