Stay tuned to meet a woman
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
whose mission is to improve
the health and well-being
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.77
of poor families
and vulnerable people
00:00:04.80\00:00:07.54
by sharing the
recipe of abundant life
00:00:07.57\00:00:10.27
throughout the world.
00:00:10.31\00:00:11.64
My name is Jason Bradley,
00:00:11.67\00:00:13.04
and you're
watching Urban Report.
00:00:13.07\00:00:15.31
Hello and
welcome to Urban Report.
00:00:37.30\00:00:39.33
My guest today is Joy Kauffman,
00:00:39.37\00:00:41.60
founder and executive director
of FARM STEW International.
00:00:41.64\00:00:46.04
Welcome to Urban Report, Joy.
00:00:46.07\00:00:47.84
Thanks, Jason.
00:00:47.88\00:00:49.21
It's such a
blessing to be back again.
00:00:49.24\00:00:50.58
Yes.
00:00:50.61\00:00:51.95
It's been a while
since you've been here.
00:00:51.98\00:00:53.31
So I kinda wanna
recap a little bit
00:00:53.35\00:00:55.58
and talk about what
FARM STEW is all about.
00:00:55.62\00:00:58.45
Now, we usually
see it in all caps.
00:00:58.49\00:01:01.12
So that means that it's
an acronym for something.
00:01:01.16\00:01:03.22
Exactly.
00:01:03.26\00:01:04.59
So FARM STEW is an acronym.
00:01:04.63\00:01:05.96
We call them eight ingredients
for a recipe for abundant life.
00:01:05.99\00:01:09.96
And so we start with
the first ingredient.
00:01:10.00\00:01:12.70
We actually
have a picture on it.
00:01:12.73\00:01:14.30
Yes, farming, attitude,
rest and meals, sanitation,
00:01:14.34\00:01:20.44
temperance,
enterprise and water.
00:01:20.48\00:01:23.48
And those eight ingredients,
00:01:23.51\00:01:24.95
you will see they
have a tremendous impact
00:01:24.98\00:01:27.38
on the health and
well-being of poor families
00:01:27.42\00:01:30.25
and vulnerable people.
00:01:30.29\00:01:31.62
But today I
also wanna talk about
00:01:31.65\00:01:33.36
how it can impact
our lives as well.
00:01:33.39\00:01:35.19
Amen.
00:01:35.22\00:01:36.56
Yeah, 'cause we definitely need
00:01:36.59\00:01:38.06
our immune systems, our health
00:01:38.09\00:01:40.00
and all of that
stuff to be improved.
00:01:40.03\00:01:41.60
So I'm
definitely looking forward
00:01:41.63\00:01:43.20
to hearing about that.
00:01:43.23\00:01:45.50
What's your background?
00:01:45.53\00:01:47.40
So thanks for asking.
00:01:47.44\00:01:49.40
I'm a convert to Adventism
00:01:49.44\00:01:50.94
and I came in
00:01:50.97\00:01:52.37
as a public health nutritionist.
00:01:52.41\00:01:54.54
So I have a
master's in public health
00:01:54.58\00:01:55.91
from Johns Hopkins
00:01:55.94\00:01:57.28
and I'm also a master gardener.
00:01:57.31\00:01:59.25
So as a Christian
00:01:59.28\00:02:00.88
who is loving
gardening and health,
00:02:00.92\00:02:03.55
I was especially excited
about Seven-day Adventists
00:02:03.59\00:02:05.79
and how we live
seven to ten years longer
00:02:05.82\00:02:09.29
than the average
American population,
00:02:09.32\00:02:11.69
which is really
impressive actually.
00:02:11.73\00:02:13.66
Yes.
00:02:13.70\00:02:15.06
And what do you
think contributes to that?
00:02:15.10\00:02:17.37
Well, it's really
a lot of the habits
00:02:17.40\00:02:19.80
that actually are now embodied
in the FARMS STEW's message.
00:02:19.83\00:02:23.00
And so, that whole
food plant-based diet,
00:02:23.04\00:02:25.54
that fresh air,
exercise and sunshine
00:02:25.57\00:02:28.78
just, you know, not
doing certain things,
00:02:28.81\00:02:30.71
drinking, smoking,
00:02:30.75\00:02:32.08
hanging out in the wrong places.
00:02:32.11\00:02:34.45
But also I think
00:02:34.48\00:02:35.98
a sense of
connectedness as a people.
00:02:36.02\00:02:38.45
And you'll see this ministry
00:02:38.49\00:02:39.82
grew out of feeling
connected as a family of faith,
00:02:39.85\00:02:42.82
as a household of faith.
00:02:42.86\00:02:44.83
That's really
important that sense of mission
00:02:44.86\00:02:47.13
and purpose that we have.
00:02:47.16\00:02:49.36
And how did you recognize
00:02:49.40\00:02:51.50
that this was your
mission and purpose
00:02:51.53\00:02:54.40
to start FARM STEW
and how did it start?
00:02:54.44\00:02:57.37
Well, it's a long story,
00:02:57.41\00:02:59.31
but the quick version is that
I felt called from a young age
00:02:59.34\00:03:03.55
to care about malnutrition.
00:03:03.58\00:03:05.05
I became a
vegetarian when I was seven.
00:03:05.08\00:03:07.32
Everybody in my family thought
00:03:07.35\00:03:08.68
I was gonna become malnourished.
00:03:08.72\00:03:10.05
So I started
learning about nutrition
00:03:10.09\00:03:11.55
as a result of just
wanting to back myself up
00:03:11.59\00:03:15.39
in my own convictions and
actually studied nutrition
00:03:15.42\00:03:19.46
in my undergrad program.
00:03:19.49\00:03:20.83
And a lot of the research papers
00:03:20.86\00:03:22.20
was about Adventism.
00:03:22.23\00:03:24.27
But I didn't know who
that was. It was pre-Google.
00:03:24.30\00:03:26.94
So I didn't look them up
00:03:26.97\00:03:28.30
and really never
met a real Adventist
00:03:28.34\00:03:30.77
until I met my dear friend
00:03:30.81\00:03:32.34
and coworker now Cherri Olin,
00:03:32.37\00:03:34.54
and I was about 40.
00:03:34.58\00:03:36.11
And just came into the message.
00:03:36.14\00:03:38.68
And honestly
00:03:38.71\00:03:40.05
it was the Ugandan
Seventh-day Adventists
00:03:40.08\00:03:41.55
that finally got
me to join the church
00:03:41.58\00:03:44.29
and become full-fledged
member of the church.
00:03:44.32\00:03:47.36
And I've never looked back.
00:03:47.39\00:03:48.89
Wow.
00:03:48.92\00:03:50.43
And so FARMS STEW came about?
00:03:50.46\00:03:52.26
Yeah.
00:03:52.29\00:03:53.63
So it came about really wanting
to address the disparities.
00:03:53.66\00:03:57.23
So we've been
hearing a lot about COVID
00:03:57.27\00:03:59.23
and I have a picture showing
00:03:59.27\00:04:00.94
some of what we've been
doing at FARM STEW in COVID.
00:04:00.97\00:04:04.04
But it came about wanting
to address the disparities
00:04:04.07\00:04:06.41
between these
Adventists in North America,
00:04:06.44\00:04:09.38
living to the ripe
old age of mid-nineties,
00:04:09.41\00:04:12.61
to looking at our
brothers and sisters
00:04:12.65\00:04:15.62
seven, nine
million church members
00:04:15.65\00:04:19.62
in Sub-Saharan Africa
00:04:19.65\00:04:21.06
and their life expectancy
is hovering around 60.
00:04:21.09\00:04:23.86
Wow.
00:04:23.89\00:04:25.23
And you said we
have a picture of that?
00:04:25.26\00:04:26.59
We have a picture of, yes,
00:04:26.63\00:04:28.46
just the economic disparities
00:04:28.50\00:04:30.87
and really
looking at the difference
00:04:30.90\00:04:32.73
you can see on here,
00:04:32.77\00:04:34.10
men on the side
and women on the flat.
00:04:34.14\00:04:36.44
You can see the
continent of Africa
00:04:36.47\00:04:38.47
is hovering way below in
terms of life expectancy,
00:04:38.51\00:04:41.34
between 50 and 60
for most of the people.
00:04:41.38\00:04:44.41
And it really came out of that.
00:04:44.45\00:04:47.08
We've been hearing a
lot about disparities
00:04:47.12\00:04:48.88
and I felt that
00:04:48.92\00:04:50.62
God is not amused
00:04:50.65\00:04:51.99
when His children,
00:04:52.02\00:04:53.39
you know, one has it really good
00:04:53.42\00:04:54.79
the other has it
really not so good.
00:04:54.82\00:04:57.13
And so, it's that idea of,
00:04:57.16\00:04:58.66
could we give
that extra 30 years
00:04:58.69\00:05:01.53
to our brothers and
sisters in Sub-Saharan Africa?
00:05:01.56\00:05:03.83
What would they do with
an extra 30 years of life?
00:05:03.87\00:05:06.57
Yes.
00:05:06.60\00:05:08.00
So let's touch on that a
little bit on the problems,
00:05:08.04\00:05:12.54
because I don't
think it's just one problem
00:05:12.57\00:05:14.51
that FARM STEW solves,
00:05:14.54\00:05:15.88
I think FARM STEW
solves multiple problems.
00:05:15.91\00:05:18.15
So what are some of the problems
00:05:18.18\00:05:19.78
that FARM STEW addresses?
00:05:19.81\00:05:21.38
Yes.
00:05:21.42\00:05:22.75
So our recipe is designed
00:05:22.78\00:05:24.12
to address the root causes
of hunger, disease and poverty.
00:05:24.15\00:05:28.56
And when you
look at the difference
00:05:28.59\00:05:30.26
of life expectancy,
00:05:30.29\00:05:31.63
it's not just because adults
are all dropping dead at 60.
00:05:31.66\00:05:34.73
Often it's because
children are dying.
00:05:34.76\00:05:37.47
And so, we have this
issue of childhood malnutrition,
00:05:37.50\00:05:40.40
and I actually
brought a little baby with me
00:05:40.44\00:05:42.34
to help demonstrate the issue.
00:05:42.37\00:05:44.24
Yes, we have some
props today. Yeah.
00:05:44.27\00:05:46.64
So we have,
00:05:46.68\00:05:48.01
this is what's called a mid
upper arm circumference band
00:05:48.04\00:05:51.25
and it's, you know,
00:05:51.28\00:05:52.61
doctors wear their
stethoscope around their neck,
00:05:52.65\00:05:54.78
but as a public health
nutritionist, this is key
00:05:54.82\00:05:57.45
because it can show us
00:05:57.49\00:05:59.02
the midpoint between
the shoulder and the elbow.
00:05:59.05\00:06:02.56
Looking at how big
the child's arm is.
00:06:02.59\00:06:06.19
And so here's my
little baby I have.
00:06:06.23\00:06:08.70
This is baby Emmanuel
00:06:08.73\00:06:10.63
and you can see this child
00:06:10.67\00:06:12.77
is about the size
of a preemie, right.
00:06:12.80\00:06:14.90
It's a very,
very small baby. Yes.
00:06:14.94\00:06:17.44
This band is
designed to measure children
00:06:17.47\00:06:20.01
between six months
and five years of age.
00:06:20.04\00:06:23.28
So you can
imagine this child is tiny
00:06:23.31\00:06:26.58
compared to what a
four and five-year-old
00:06:26.61\00:06:28.52
should look like, right?
00:06:28.55\00:06:30.65
But when we
look at the band here
00:06:30.69\00:06:33.36
and let's see,
00:06:33.39\00:06:34.92
I do maybe need a little
help, you can pull that side.
00:06:34.96\00:06:38.09
And then we're gonna show
we're at about the midpoint.
00:06:38.13\00:06:40.50
If we were out in the
field, we'd be measuring this,
00:06:40.53\00:06:43.00
but you can see
through the window
00:06:43.03\00:06:44.43
that this child is right
about in the yellow zone.
00:06:44.47\00:06:48.40
That means this
child would be considered
00:06:48.44\00:06:51.24
moderately malnourished.
00:06:51.27\00:06:52.61
Wow.
00:06:52.64\00:06:53.98
And a baby that was
a little bit tighter,
00:06:54.01\00:06:57.51
we wanna pull it
tight in real life,
00:06:57.55\00:06:58.91
but a red zone there
means severely malnourished.
00:06:58.95\00:07:01.45
Okay.
00:07:01.48\00:07:02.82
And now if we wanna
address this problem,
00:07:02.85\00:07:06.59
we have to find out
where the problem is.
00:07:06.62\00:07:09.26
Most of the
children in our country
00:07:09.29\00:07:12.53
would score green,
00:07:12.56\00:07:14.33
almost everyone.
00:07:14.36\00:07:16.26
But in say, for example,
one church in South Sudan,
00:07:16.30\00:07:19.57
a Seven-day Adventist
Church in Wawa, South Sudan,
00:07:19.60\00:07:21.90
I got the data
back on their children
00:07:21.94\00:07:24.44
and over 40 children were
in either the yellow or red.
00:07:24.47\00:07:28.64
There was seven in the
red and 33 in the yellow zone.
00:07:28.68\00:07:32.95
Wow.
00:07:32.98\00:07:34.32
So we're talking, this
is a preemie child really.
00:07:34.35\00:07:37.22
And we're talking
three, four, and five-year-olds
00:07:37.25\00:07:39.59
that are as thin
little arms as this baby.
00:07:39.62\00:07:43.59
Wow.
00:07:43.63\00:07:44.96
And the exciting thing though,
00:07:44.99\00:07:46.73
is that where we've worked
in another part of South Sudan,
00:07:46.76\00:07:49.23
where we were
invited by the church to go,
00:07:49.26\00:07:51.53
and we'd been
there almost two years,
00:07:51.57\00:07:53.37
we were able to
move the children...
00:07:53.40\00:07:56.10
Sorry, baby.
00:07:56.14\00:07:57.77
Be gentle.
00:07:57.81\00:07:59.44
We were able to move it
00:07:59.47\00:08:00.88
so that at the start
there was 59% of the children
00:08:00.91\00:08:04.48
in the yellow and red zone.
00:08:04.51\00:08:06.15
When after 18 months
00:08:06.18\00:08:07.78
there was only three, I'm sorry.
00:08:07.82\00:08:10.25
There was only 3% in this zone.
00:08:10.29\00:08:12.75
And that meant
97% were now normal
00:08:12.79\00:08:15.56
in the healthy zone.
00:08:15.59\00:08:16.93
That is beautiful.
And how did it move?
00:08:16.96\00:08:19.76
Like what was
done? What took place?
00:08:19.79\00:08:21.56
I'm excited
about, what happened?
00:08:21.60\00:08:23.03
Yeah.
00:08:23.06\00:08:24.40
I have another picture
showing our team of trainers
00:08:24.43\00:08:26.74
armed and dangerous.
00:08:26.77\00:08:28.94
Dangerous against the
problems of malnutrition.
00:08:28.97\00:08:30.77
They are armed
with packets of seeds.
00:08:30.81\00:08:33.17
So, you know, we promote a
whole food plant-based diet.
00:08:33.21\00:08:37.05
And these are our church members
00:08:37.08\00:08:39.11
who are out
there teaching people
00:08:39.15\00:08:40.75
how to use those
vegetables seeds.
00:08:40.78\00:08:42.92
A lot of the people
in Sub-Saharan Africa
00:08:42.95\00:08:46.39
are eating a lot of corn.
00:08:46.42\00:08:48.16
Okay.
00:08:48.19\00:08:49.52
I'm sure you've heard the names
like in different countries.
00:08:49.56\00:08:51.49
It's nsima, posho, ugali,
all these different names,
00:08:51.53\00:08:57.87
but it's the same food.
00:08:57.90\00:08:59.23
It's a corn porridge,
00:08:59.27\00:09:00.80
and it doesn't
have the nutrients
00:09:00.84\00:09:02.17
that children need
to grow and develop.
00:09:02.20\00:09:03.67
Oh, okay.
00:09:03.71\00:09:05.04
So we start by
addressing this problem
00:09:05.07\00:09:06.78
with starting with farming,
00:09:06.81\00:09:08.14
which is where
God got us started
00:09:08.18\00:09:10.28
in the Garden of Eden, right?
00:09:10.31\00:09:12.81
He put us in the garden,
00:09:12.85\00:09:14.18
He told us to garden
00:09:14.22\00:09:15.68
and we try to
elevate that profession
00:09:15.72\00:09:18.95
by giving them skills,
00:09:18.99\00:09:20.32
but also saying,
this is a dignified job
00:09:20.36\00:09:22.99
and you can
make money off of it.
00:09:23.02\00:09:24.49
Yes.
00:09:24.53\00:09:25.86
You can make good money even.
00:09:25.89\00:09:27.23
Yes. So there's
multiple benefits.
00:09:27.26\00:09:29.50
So you're growing your food.
00:09:29.53\00:09:32.43
You're getting like
non-GMO, non, you know,
00:09:32.47\00:09:36.10
not all those
chemicals and all of that stuff,
00:09:36.14\00:09:38.27
pesticides, all of
that, growing that.
00:09:38.31\00:09:40.68
And you're able to
sustain an income and a living.
00:09:40.71\00:09:44.98
Exactly.
00:09:45.01\00:09:46.35
And our E, if you remember,
it stands for enterprise.
00:09:46.38\00:09:48.78
And so we're
teaching the business skills.
00:09:48.82\00:09:51.05
First of all the
trainers that you saw,
00:09:51.09\00:09:54.29
they organize
groups in the villages
00:09:54.32\00:09:56.29
into savings clubs.
00:09:56.32\00:09:57.66
Okay.
00:09:57.69\00:09:59.03
So each week
they come and they put
00:09:59.06\00:10:00.40
whatever little bit
of money they can put in.
00:10:00.43\00:10:02.26
And then the group
generally takes turns
00:10:02.30\00:10:04.70
of who gets to
basically get the kitty of money
00:10:04.73\00:10:08.30
and then they can
invest in something
00:10:08.34\00:10:09.90
that can help
them start a business
00:10:09.94\00:10:11.51
that otherwise
wouldn't have been possible.
00:10:11.54\00:10:14.88
Wow. That's huge.
00:10:14.91\00:10:16.24
Can you touch a little bit more
00:10:16.28\00:10:17.61
on your FARM
STEW wellness guide?
00:10:17.65\00:10:20.05
Sure. Okay.
00:10:20.08\00:10:21.42
So there's a lot of questions
00:10:21.45\00:10:22.78
like what are you doing
for people in North America?
00:10:22.82\00:10:24.25
Of course, we've been
having a lot of challenges.
00:10:24.29\00:10:26.35
So I wanted to give
you a particular gift
00:10:26.39\00:10:29.09
that your listeners can
get by going to our website,
00:10:29.12\00:10:35.23
which is farmstew.org.
00:10:35.26\00:10:37.67
And you can see,
we take each letter,
00:10:37.70\00:10:39.87
farming,
attitude, rest, and meals.
00:10:39.90\00:10:42.80
And we go through and we explain
00:10:42.84\00:10:44.87
how each of these can
be a blessing to the people
00:10:44.91\00:10:47.94
here through wellness guide.
00:10:47.98\00:10:49.48
So we're, you know,
still in this COVID mess
00:10:49.51\00:10:53.62
and we're gonna
need our immune systems.
00:10:53.65\00:10:56.28
The vaccine is not
going to roll out exactly
00:10:56.32\00:11:00.02
like everybody wants it to.
00:11:00.06\00:11:02.16
We're gonna need to
have strong immune systems.
00:11:02.19\00:11:04.16
We're gonna need to get
the rest that our body needs.
00:11:04.19\00:11:07.33
And we're gonna need to
have the right attitude.
00:11:07.36\00:11:09.76
And even, you know,
being out in the fresh air,
00:11:09.80\00:11:12.80
exercise and sunshine,
00:11:12.83\00:11:14.17
that is what you get
when you're gardening.
00:11:14.20\00:11:15.54
Yes.
00:11:15.57\00:11:16.91
And even, you know, even
some of the soil microbes
00:11:16.94\00:11:19.94
are actually beneficial
for your immune system.
00:11:19.97\00:11:22.04
So this guide is just
a one-page simple gift
00:11:22.08\00:11:24.78
that we wanna give people.
00:11:24.81\00:11:26.15
You just go on our
website, wait about 10 seconds
00:11:26.18\00:11:28.12
and a little
pop-up will show up.
00:11:28.15\00:11:29.72
Nice, and give us
your website one more time?
00:11:29.75\00:11:31.32
Okay. So it's farmstew.org.
00:11:31.35\00:11:34.12
It's an organization.
00:11:34.16\00:11:35.62
So which means we're a
nonprofit organization.
00:11:35.66\00:11:38.19
Nice.
00:11:38.23\00:11:39.56
And so, all right,
so they can get this.
00:11:39.59\00:11:42.76
Now tell us about the newsletter
00:11:42.80\00:11:44.50
because you keep people informed
00:11:44.53\00:11:45.90
as to what is
going on with FARM STEW.
00:11:45.93\00:11:48.34
Right.
00:11:48.37\00:11:49.70
So we are a donor
driven organization,
00:11:49.74\00:11:52.27
which means we
respond and we go places
00:11:52.31\00:11:55.34
that the donors allow us to go.
00:11:55.38\00:11:57.45
So every quarter
00:11:57.48\00:11:58.81
we give a quarterly
report to our donors.
00:11:58.85\00:12:00.92
And so we mail
these out to our donors
00:12:00.95\00:12:04.65
and we also put
it on the website.
00:12:04.69\00:12:06.55
So if you just
want to check us out,
00:12:06.59\00:12:07.92
you're not sure if
you want to invest,
00:12:07.96\00:12:09.59
that is also on our website.
00:12:09.62\00:12:11.23
You can just click and
it says donor newsletters,
00:12:11.26\00:12:13.33
and you can see all
the way back to 2017.
00:12:13.36\00:12:16.10
And this one is
showing the year of yes,
00:12:16.13\00:12:18.50
because we want
to be able to say yes
00:12:18.53\00:12:21.04
to the pastors that are
calling for FARM STEW training.
00:12:21.07\00:12:25.14
For example, Pastor
Isaiah Oak, the last name.
00:12:25.17\00:12:28.34
Okay.
00:12:28.38\00:12:30.25
He is really planning for us
to be able to train his people,
00:12:30.28\00:12:34.82
to be able to
help those 40 children.
00:12:34.85\00:12:37.02
And we just actually
I'm on the phone every week.
00:12:37.05\00:12:40.26
South Sudan is
Tuesday, Uganda is Monday,
00:12:40.29\00:12:42.36
Malawi is Wednesday.
00:12:42.39\00:12:44.46
Every week management
calls with these teams.
00:12:44.49\00:12:46.13
And we just
approved a $10,000 budget
00:12:46.16\00:12:49.73
for intensive
training for church members
00:12:49.76\00:12:52.37
from all over this area
around Wawa, South Sudan.
00:12:52.40\00:12:56.10
That's huge.
00:12:56.14\00:12:57.47
And, you know, it's only
by God that we can do that
00:12:57.51\00:12:59.94
because it's the
generosity of His people,
00:12:59.97\00:13:02.91
hearing messages like
00:13:02.94\00:13:04.28
that are broadcast through 3ABN,
00:13:04.31\00:13:05.95
which we appreciate so
much all your listeners
00:13:05.98\00:13:08.92
and the management team
00:13:08.95\00:13:10.29
that allows us to come
on and share this message,
00:13:10.32\00:13:12.65
so that we want to get those
00:13:12.69\00:13:14.72
African brothers and
sisters that bump up.
00:13:14.76\00:13:17.29
Yes, yes. Yeah.
00:13:17.33\00:13:19.39
I think that is huge
because you're helping them.
00:13:19.43\00:13:23.70
How can you do
anything if you're not healthy?
00:13:23.73\00:13:25.47
Right.
00:13:25.50\00:13:26.84
You know, people
say health is wealth.
00:13:26.87\00:13:28.27
So, you know, if you could
have all the money in the world,
00:13:28.30\00:13:31.74
but if you're unhealthy,
00:13:31.77\00:13:33.88
you would trade that money
most likely for good health.
00:13:33.91\00:13:37.25
Exactly. Yes.
00:13:37.28\00:13:38.75
So you're really
helping them out there.
00:13:38.78\00:13:41.28
What's your vision for
FARM STEW in the future?
00:13:41.32\00:13:44.25
Well, we are so excited because
we feel like time is short
00:13:44.29\00:13:47.56
and Jesus is
coming and kids are dying.
00:13:47.59\00:13:50.76
That's the part
we don't usually add.
00:13:50.79\00:13:52.56
You know, and Jesus talks
about in Matthew 24 and 25,
00:13:52.59\00:13:56.13
I call that His
end times playbook.
00:13:56.16\00:13:58.00
Right? Yeah, I like that.
00:13:58.03\00:13:59.37
So He tells us
what's gonna happen.
00:13:59.40\00:14:00.74
And then He tells us what
we're supposed to be doing
00:14:00.77\00:14:02.97
while it's happening
00:14:03.00\00:14:04.34
and caring for
the least of these
00:14:04.37\00:14:06.24
is a huge part of that.
00:14:06.27\00:14:08.64
And we're so excited
about the growth in the church.
00:14:08.68\00:14:10.95
And particularly,
00:14:10.98\00:14:12.31
even in regions
that need this message
00:14:12.35\00:14:14.82
and we can reach them.
00:14:14.85\00:14:16.18
We have actually just partnered
00:14:16.22\00:14:17.75
with Malawi Adventist University
00:14:17.79\00:14:20.46
and they actually are
taking our FARM STEW curriculum,
00:14:20.49\00:14:23.22
which is also on our website.
00:14:23.26\00:14:24.79
They're putting it
on their school platform
00:14:24.83\00:14:26.80
and teaching it as a course
that anybody can sign up for.
00:14:26.83\00:14:29.83
Wow.
00:14:29.86\00:14:31.20
We're talking to some
other universities as well
00:14:31.23\00:14:32.77
about teaching
FARM STEW as a course.
00:14:32.80\00:14:34.77
So they have our full,
00:14:34.80\00:14:37.17
it's called Life
Abundant Curriculum.
00:14:37.21\00:14:40.11
And then we also will have
00:14:40.14\00:14:42.38
practical hands-on
lessons going on the campus.
00:14:42.41\00:14:44.91
They have agriculture school
00:14:44.95\00:14:46.61
and a nursing
school, public health school.
00:14:46.65\00:14:48.25
So they already
have the experts there.
00:14:48.28\00:14:51.05
We're just
supplementing their knowledge
00:14:51.09\00:14:52.99
with the
practical hands-on part.
00:14:53.02\00:14:55.32
Nice. Now we
actually have a video.
00:14:55.36\00:14:57.89
And why don't you
tell us a little bit
00:14:57.93\00:14:59.73
as to what we can
expect in this video
00:14:59.76\00:15:02.06
that we're gonna
watch in just a second.
00:15:02.10\00:15:03.43
Sure.
00:15:03.47\00:15:04.80
So Pastor Amoli is
one of our favorites
00:15:04.83\00:15:07.27
and he has embraced
the message of FARM STEW.
00:15:07.30\00:15:09.57
He was one of our
pastors in South Sudan.
00:15:09.60\00:15:12.57
He works in the refugee camps.
00:15:12.61\00:15:14.48
And so this video is just
sharing the impact of FARM STEW
00:15:14.51\00:15:17.21
in the refugee camps.
00:15:17.25\00:15:18.71
Nice.
00:15:18.75\00:15:20.08
Let's go to
that video right now.
00:15:20.12\00:15:24.19
When FARM STEW
came in, with this idea
00:15:24.22\00:15:28.16
that we can grow our food
00:15:28.19\00:15:31.73
from this small
compounds or small plot.
00:15:31.76\00:15:34.73
Now we have hope
for our children,
00:15:34.76\00:15:37.80
we have hope for ourselves.
00:15:37.83\00:15:40.30
We have new things.
00:15:40.34\00:15:42.90
When we learned
about the soya bean,
00:15:42.94\00:15:45.84
people could make
milk from soya bean.
00:15:45.87\00:15:47.84
You know, I tell
people that I say,
00:15:47.88\00:15:49.68
"Now FARM STEW will be like
John the Baptist going ahead."
00:15:49.71\00:15:54.35
And then we as pastors
and ministers will follow
00:15:54.38\00:15:57.19
with the message of the gospel.
00:15:57.22\00:15:59.69
It's powerful.
00:15:59.72\00:16:01.06
Wow.
00:16:04.49\00:16:05.83
What a testimony there.
00:16:05.86\00:16:07.20
Yeah.
00:16:07.23\00:16:08.56
I love how
Pastor Amoli says that
00:16:08.60\00:16:09.93
it's like John the Baptist,
00:16:09.96\00:16:11.30
you know, preparing
the way for the church.
00:16:11.33\00:16:13.80
And that's something
that we take very seriously,
00:16:13.84\00:16:17.31
like FARM STEW is not a ministry
00:16:17.34\00:16:19.21
where you're ever gonna
open our newsletter and say,
00:16:19.24\00:16:21.48
we got 500 baptisms
00:16:21.51\00:16:23.38
because really
it's the local church.
00:16:23.41\00:16:26.28
I mean they know
how to do evangelism.
00:16:26.31\00:16:29.12
The church in Sub-Saharan Africa
00:16:29.15\00:16:30.62
is growing at a 7 to
8% growth rate annually.
00:16:30.65\00:16:33.32
Wow.
00:16:33.36\00:16:34.69
When I started FARM
STEW five years ago,
00:16:34.72\00:16:37.76
they had 8 million
members in Sub-Saharan Africa.
00:16:37.79\00:16:40.80
Now it's nine.
00:16:40.83\00:16:42.16
So I don't need to teach
them how to do evangelism,
00:16:42.20\00:16:45.20
but my training
is in public health
00:16:45.23\00:16:47.04
and there is something that
we can teach and we can share.
00:16:47.07\00:16:50.44
And there's a quote
that I love by Sister White
00:16:50.47\00:16:53.68
that really talks
about how to help the poor.
00:16:53.71\00:16:57.58
I don't know if
they can pull that up.
00:16:57.61\00:17:00.35
Okay.
00:17:00.38\00:17:01.72
So here's this quote and I love,
00:17:01.75\00:17:03.08
and I do wanna say
00:17:03.12\00:17:04.45
this house that you can
see in the picture here.
00:17:04.49\00:17:05.92
This is actually
one of the refugee camp
00:17:05.95\00:17:08.96
trainees that we then
hired to become a trainer
00:17:08.99\00:17:12.06
because you can see this garden
00:17:12.09\00:17:13.43
that they built
or planted there.
00:17:13.46\00:17:16.20
But the quote says,
00:17:16.23\00:17:17.57
"You may give to the
poor, and injure them,
00:17:17.60\00:17:18.97
because you teach
them to be dependent.
00:17:19.00\00:17:21.24
Instead teach them
to support themselves.
00:17:21.27\00:17:23.84
This will be true help.
00:17:23.87\00:17:25.51
The needy must be
placed in positions
00:17:25.54\00:17:27.58
where they can help themselves."
00:17:27.61\00:17:29.24
Yes.
00:17:29.28\00:17:30.61
And, yeah, I don't know
00:17:30.65\00:17:32.55
if you'd heard
that quote before.
00:17:32.58\00:17:33.98
I have not heard that quote,
00:17:34.02\00:17:35.65
but I mean,
00:17:35.68\00:17:37.32
it's very
applicable to the situation
00:17:37.35\00:17:39.45
because let's
say you go over there
00:17:39.49\00:17:41.62
and you teach
00:17:41.66\00:17:43.16
and you don't
teach them how to farm.
00:17:43.19\00:17:44.86
Let's say you just feed people.
00:17:44.89\00:17:47.60
Well, then you're
gonna go back home,
00:17:47.63\00:17:49.46
so what are they gonna do?
00:17:49.50\00:17:50.83
Exactly.
00:17:50.87\00:17:52.20
And so, FARM
STEW bridges that gap.
00:17:52.23\00:17:53.87
Exactly.
00:17:53.90\00:17:55.24
And, you know,
there's other places
00:17:55.27\00:17:56.60
where Ellen White talks
about educate, educate, educate,
00:17:56.64\00:17:59.57
you know, and it's
like, we just realize,
00:17:59.61\00:18:02.48
you know, I don't
speak the local languages.
00:18:02.51\00:18:04.25
In Uganda there's
60 local languages,
00:18:04.28\00:18:06.88
you know?
00:18:06.92\00:18:08.25
But our trainers do,
00:18:08.28\00:18:09.62
you know, they can go
out and do the education.
00:18:09.65\00:18:12.69
And then there's
cultural differences too,
00:18:12.72\00:18:14.86
you know, going to
the different places.
00:18:14.89\00:18:17.46
But the people over there know
they grew up in the culture.
00:18:17.49\00:18:21.43
Exactly.
00:18:21.46\00:18:22.80
So, yeah, that's
a really great model
00:18:22.83\00:18:25.60
that FARM STEW has.
00:18:25.63\00:18:27.07
Well, I praise God because
00:18:27.10\00:18:28.44
during COVID, you
know, flights got canceled,
00:18:28.47\00:18:30.34
but our trainers
were still out training.
00:18:30.37\00:18:32.94
And, you know, when you said
something about the trainers,
00:18:32.97\00:18:36.75
I just wanted to bring
up this little prop here.
00:18:36.78\00:18:40.62
This is something
00:18:40.65\00:18:41.98
that is in the home of
almost every rural African
00:18:42.02\00:18:44.75
is a mortar and a
pestle, good old fashion like.
00:18:44.79\00:18:48.02
And they pound, and
they pound, and they pound,
00:18:48.06\00:18:50.29
and what we do with this
is we actually teach them
00:18:50.33\00:18:52.86
to make soy milk.
00:18:52.89\00:18:54.50
Okay.
00:18:54.53\00:18:55.86
So often they've
been growing soy beans,
00:18:55.90\00:18:57.83
but milk is a very
important substance
00:18:57.87\00:19:00.64
that often they can't buy.
00:19:00.67\00:19:02.54
And especially in South Sudan
00:19:02.57\00:19:03.97
the wars have a lot of
cattle have been either killed
00:19:04.01\00:19:06.71
or stolen or whatnot.
00:19:06.74\00:19:08.54
So in the refugee camps,
00:19:08.58\00:19:10.01
they, when you
said local languages,
00:19:10.05\00:19:12.25
there are camps where there's
30 languages in one place,
00:19:12.28\00:19:16.48
but this soy milk,
they call it the green cow.
00:19:16.52\00:19:20.86
The green cow.
00:19:20.89\00:19:22.66
I got it.
00:19:22.69\00:19:24.03
And Elias one of our trainers.
00:19:24.06\00:19:26.49
He speaks like six languages.
00:19:26.53\00:19:28.66
And so he's there translating
and training and doing the,
00:19:28.70\00:19:31.50
you know, demo
gardens and everything.
00:19:31.53\00:19:33.77
But he says that the green cow
00:19:33.80\00:19:35.40
is what's gonna
bring peace in the villages
00:19:35.44\00:19:38.17
because they don't have to fight
00:19:38.21\00:19:39.54
over milk anymore.
00:19:39.57\00:19:41.81
So it's pretty
cool. Yeah, that is.
00:19:41.84\00:19:43.18
My arm gets tired when I do it,
00:19:43.21\00:19:44.61
but I tell you they
have more muscles than we do.
00:19:44.65\00:19:47.25
Yeah.
00:19:47.28\00:19:48.62
I believe it, that looks
like it would be a little tough,
00:19:48.65\00:19:51.35
you know, constantly doing that.
00:19:51.39\00:19:53.22
But so the green cow,
what do you have over here?
00:19:53.25\00:19:57.33
I see something that
looks like a curriculum
00:19:57.36\00:20:00.10
or a college
course or something?
00:20:00.13\00:20:01.60
Yeah, exactly.
00:20:01.63\00:20:02.96
So this is our FARM STEW manual,
00:20:03.00\00:20:04.83
our curriculum,
00:20:04.87\00:20:06.20
also available
online on our website
00:20:06.23\00:20:07.80
under the recipe.
00:20:07.84\00:20:09.60
But this is the basic course.
00:20:09.64\00:20:11.34
And if, you know,
there's a bit of a glare,
00:20:11.37\00:20:13.38
but you can see
this is in Spanish
00:20:13.41\00:20:16.75
and we've just
launched this past year in Cuba.
00:20:16.78\00:20:19.38
Okay.
00:20:19.41\00:20:20.75
And we wanna make all
of our resources available
00:20:20.78\00:20:22.32
to Latin America as well.
00:20:22.35\00:20:23.69
There's a lot of
challenges right now
00:20:23.72\00:20:25.35
in a lot of countries,
00:20:25.39\00:20:26.82
the COVID has
caused food insecurity
00:20:26.86\00:20:29.72
in a lot of places.
00:20:29.76\00:20:31.09
So if we can
get this information
00:20:31.13\00:20:32.89
into the hands of people,
00:20:32.93\00:20:34.40
help churches, especially
be able to share this,
00:20:34.43\00:20:38.17
what we call the
recipe for abundant life.
00:20:38.20\00:20:40.67
People can learn to
grow their own food,
00:20:40.70\00:20:43.04
have the proper
sanitation, and hand washing,
00:20:43.07\00:20:45.14
that'll help prevent COVID.
00:20:45.17\00:20:46.91
And, you know, just overall
00:20:46.94\00:20:48.84
be able to have
a business mindset
00:20:48.88\00:20:51.51
so they can
raise their own food,
00:20:51.55\00:20:54.62
earn their own
money and become tithing,
00:20:54.65\00:20:57.42
participating members
of our church as well.
00:20:57.45\00:20:59.59
Yes.
00:20:59.62\00:21:00.96
Now, as you mentioned,
00:21:00.99\00:21:02.32
you said COVID has
created a lot of problems.
00:21:02.36\00:21:06.19
What are some challenges
00:21:06.23\00:21:07.56
that your organization has faced
00:21:07.60\00:21:09.56
and what did you do to overcome
some of those challenges?
00:21:09.60\00:21:14.30
Well, the one
thing COVID has taught me
00:21:14.34\00:21:18.51
is just really to trust the Lord
00:21:18.54\00:21:20.31
and to trust the
model that He gave to us
00:21:20.34\00:21:22.74
which is the
local people leading.
00:21:22.78\00:21:24.38
Yes.
00:21:24.41\00:21:25.75
And so, it's been very
exciting in a lot of ways
00:21:25.78\00:21:28.52
because we've just decided,
00:21:28.55\00:21:30.12
you know, I can't
go over there and see,
00:21:30.15\00:21:32.42
last year I
didn't get over to Africa
00:21:32.45\00:21:35.09
but I can hire
these local people.
00:21:35.12\00:21:37.99
So we actually really raised
00:21:38.03\00:21:39.36
the capacity of
the local people.
00:21:39.39\00:21:41.30
And we actually recently
just hired a finance officer,
00:21:41.33\00:21:44.87
a new one in Uganda,
00:21:44.90\00:21:46.23
who is, she's a Sabbath keeper.
00:21:46.27\00:21:48.04
I will tell you
in the interview,
00:21:48.07\00:21:49.94
she said she was
available to work right away
00:21:49.97\00:21:51.61
because she had left her job
00:21:51.64\00:21:52.97
because they were
trying to make her work
00:21:53.01\00:21:54.34
on the Sabbath.
00:21:54.38\00:21:55.71
And I resonated
with that so much
00:21:55.74\00:21:57.25
because that
happened to me as well.
00:21:57.28\00:21:59.61
And it's actually partly
how FARM STEW got started
00:21:59.65\00:22:02.28
was because I was working
for a local health department
00:22:02.32\00:22:05.19
and they wouldn't put in writing
00:22:05.22\00:22:07.52
that they weren't
gonna fire me over Sabbath.
00:22:07.56\00:22:09.32
And I thought, you know what?
00:22:09.36\00:22:11.43
I'm just gonna trust God,
00:22:11.46\00:22:13.16
go full-time with FARM STEW
00:22:13.19\00:22:14.83
even though I had, at
the time I was the donor.
00:22:14.86\00:22:17.47
Yes.
00:22:17.50\00:22:18.83
When I started it, I was
just spending my own money.
00:22:18.87\00:22:20.64
I said, I'm
just gonna trust God.
00:22:20.67\00:22:22.47
So when in this interview
we hired this finance officer
00:22:22.50\00:22:25.34
and I just thought,
00:22:25.37\00:22:26.88
she's the right
woman for this job.
00:22:26.91\00:22:29.01
That was a strange
answer to your question.
00:22:29.04\00:22:30.61
Your question is what
have we learned since COVID,
00:22:30.65\00:22:32.51
but I'll just say
00:22:32.55\00:22:34.05
it's trusting the
structure that we have
00:22:34.08\00:22:37.95
and then also
having checks and balances.
00:22:37.99\00:22:40.09
So partly why we
hired the finance officer
00:22:40.12\00:22:42.32
is we actually,
00:22:42.36\00:22:43.79
each were audited the
FARM STEW International,
00:22:43.83\00:22:46.03
FARM STEW South
Sudan, and FARM STEW Uganda.
00:22:46.06\00:22:47.86
Nice.
00:22:47.90\00:22:49.23
We had every organization
00:22:49.26\00:22:50.60
that's our major
efforts are in those countries.
00:22:50.63\00:22:52.77
We have smaller
efforts in others
00:22:52.80\00:22:54.30
with partner organizations,
00:22:54.34\00:22:56.14
but we had each
audited and by local people
00:22:56.17\00:23:01.01
and it came out very clean.
00:23:01.04\00:23:03.38
We had a lot of things to learn,
00:23:03.41\00:23:04.75
just getting all the paperwork
00:23:04.78\00:23:06.11
and the checks
and balances right.
00:23:06.15\00:23:07.48
But it came out very clean.
00:23:07.52\00:23:08.85
And I felt like
God is just good,
00:23:08.88\00:23:12.45
because if we had a model
00:23:12.49\00:23:14.86
where it was just a
bunch of us Americans
00:23:14.89\00:23:16.73
and going to run the
show, we would have stopped.
00:23:16.76\00:23:20.10
Our ministry would have stopped,
00:23:20.13\00:23:22.03
but He had a plan already.
00:23:22.06\00:23:24.07
And He had prepared us for this.
00:23:24.10\00:23:25.43
Yes. And it's
grown exponentially.
00:23:25.47\00:23:27.67
Yes. Even in this time. Yeah.
00:23:27.70\00:23:30.24
And that's the
beautiful thing too
00:23:30.27\00:23:32.24
about that checks and
balances that you have
00:23:32.27\00:23:35.24
because supporters know that
00:23:35.28\00:23:37.65
and when they
receive these newsletters,
00:23:37.68\00:23:40.32
they know what is being done.
00:23:40.35\00:23:43.25
And they see the
stories of the lives
00:23:43.28\00:23:46.19
that are being transformed
as a result of FARM STEW.
00:23:46.22\00:23:49.86
So that's excellent. Right.
00:23:49.89\00:23:51.56
And I just wanna share
00:23:51.59\00:23:52.93
since you brought
up this newsletter.
00:23:52.96\00:23:54.30
This one in particular,
00:23:54.33\00:23:55.66
I just love because
00:23:55.70\00:23:57.03
we have a story of
a woman named Esther
00:23:57.07\00:23:58.53
who started this
small business on the front
00:23:58.57\00:24:00.30
and she's selling vegetables.
00:24:00.34\00:24:02.10
And then inside,
we have a strain named
00:24:02.14\00:24:04.47
about a woman named Monica
00:24:04.51\00:24:06.44
who did not know
how to share Jesus
00:24:06.47\00:24:08.21
with her neighbors.
00:24:08.24\00:24:09.64
And she is now sharing them
00:24:09.68\00:24:12.28
by sharing
vegetables from her garden.
00:24:12.31\00:24:14.45
And people are hungry.
00:24:14.48\00:24:15.82
Her neighbors are hungry,
00:24:15.85\00:24:17.19
but she is
actually just so excited
00:24:17.22\00:24:19.39
because now her garden is like
an evangelistic tool for her.
00:24:19.42\00:24:23.29
And we're really
excited about that
00:24:23.32\00:24:24.99
because we know,
00:24:25.03\00:24:26.56
you know, if the
people they know our theology,
00:24:26.59\00:24:29.83
they know our
doctrines and they love them
00:24:29.86\00:24:31.63
just as I love them.
00:24:31.67\00:24:33.13
But sometimes if you can't,
you know, James talks about,
00:24:33.17\00:24:36.37
you know, if somebody is hungry
00:24:36.40\00:24:37.74
or somebody is
naked or whatever,
00:24:37.77\00:24:39.24
and you just say, you
know, go get baptized.
00:24:39.27\00:24:42.11
Yeah.
00:24:42.14\00:24:43.48
It doesn't make a
lot of sense to them.
00:24:43.51\00:24:45.08
So... Absolutely.
00:24:45.11\00:24:46.45
How are you meeting
their practical needs?
00:24:46.48\00:24:48.18
Right.
00:24:48.22\00:24:49.55
It's that whole
Christ method alone,
00:24:49.58\00:24:50.95
you know,
winning their confidence
00:24:50.99\00:24:52.65
by desiring their
good and showing sympathy.
00:24:52.69\00:24:57.49
And so, what I'm
so excited about is,
00:24:57.53\00:25:00.10
you know, when I first wanted
00:25:00.13\00:25:01.50
to be a public
health nutritionist,
00:25:01.53\00:25:03.06
I thought about me
making a difference
00:25:03.10\00:25:05.20
You know, and I
went off in my 20s,
00:25:05.23\00:25:06.74
I went to
Romania, I went to Brazil.
00:25:06.77\00:25:08.50
I was working as a
public health nutritionist,
00:25:08.54\00:25:10.54
but it was just me.
00:25:10.57\00:25:13.51
And then I had to come home.
00:25:13.54\00:25:14.88
So I couldn't help
people in those countries
00:25:14.91\00:25:16.44
'cause I had a family here.
00:25:16.48\00:25:18.35
But now my church family
is 21 million people strong.
00:25:18.38\00:25:24.02
And we can work as a family.
00:25:24.05\00:25:26.19
We can work as, you
know, with body of Christ
00:25:26.22\00:25:28.32
towards the other analogy.
00:25:28.36\00:25:29.86
He can inspire
us. He can equip us.
00:25:29.89\00:25:32.53
He can inspire
people to fund the work
00:25:32.56\00:25:35.10
so that, you know,
someone watching today,
00:25:35.13\00:25:37.90
they might have a gift
00:25:37.93\00:25:39.27
that they can give to FARM STEW.
00:25:39.30\00:25:40.80
We put it in the investment,
00:25:40.84\00:25:42.37
into our trainers going out
00:25:42.40\00:25:44.01
and then saving
the little babies,
00:25:44.04\00:25:45.91
you know, up in South Sudan
00:25:45.94\00:25:47.68
or Malawi or wherever
00:25:47.71\00:25:49.44
where we're
gonna meet in heaven.
00:25:49.48\00:25:50.95
Yes.
00:25:50.98\00:25:52.31
And when Jesus says,
00:25:52.35\00:25:53.68
"What did you do
for the least of these?"
00:25:53.72\00:25:55.42
We're gonna say, "We did it."
00:25:55.45\00:25:56.85
Amen. You know.
00:25:56.89\00:25:59.22
So I wanna transition
00:25:59.25\00:26:00.66
into what are some
of FARM STEW's needs?
00:26:00.69\00:26:04.66
What do you need
as an organization?
00:26:04.69\00:26:06.63
How can our
viewers and listeners
00:26:06.66\00:26:08.80
support your cause?
00:26:08.83\00:26:10.17
Yeah.
00:26:10.20\00:26:11.53
Well, first of all, we
need prayers for our staff.
00:26:11.57\00:26:13.13
They're in some
pretty dangerous places.
00:26:13.17\00:26:15.30
And so, we
actually list our staff
00:26:15.34\00:26:16.67
is also on our website.
00:26:16.71\00:26:18.47
And then, of course,
on top of the prayers,
00:26:18.51\00:26:21.44
we pray that you
will be inspired to give
00:26:21.48\00:26:24.68
and primarily,
00:26:24.71\00:26:26.21
you know, it's the local
people that are doing that.
00:26:26.25\00:26:28.78
So if you're in an area
00:26:28.82\00:26:30.15
where you're
suffering from hunger,
00:26:30.19\00:26:31.65
disease or poverty,
00:26:31.69\00:26:33.02
you know, you also
go onto our website
00:26:33.05\00:26:35.92
and learn this curriculum
and go teach your churches.
00:26:35.96\00:26:38.79
There's a mini course
00:26:38.83\00:26:40.83
that actually is
designed for just that.
00:26:40.86\00:26:42.63
It's a PowerPoint,
00:26:42.66\00:26:44.00
and then it has a script
00:26:44.03\00:26:45.37
and both of them
are downloadable.
00:26:45.40\00:26:46.74
So we need people
00:26:46.77\00:26:48.10
that will take
this to their churches
00:26:48.14\00:26:49.80
and tell others
about this message.
00:26:49.84\00:26:51.34
If it resonates with you,
00:26:51.37\00:26:53.01
share the recipe is what we say.
00:26:53.04\00:26:54.38
Amen.
00:26:54.41\00:26:55.74
Now we have a contact page,
00:26:55.78\00:26:57.11
so people can know how
to get in touch with you.
00:26:57.15\00:26:59.28
Why don't you share
your address and phone number
00:26:59.31\00:27:02.15
and all of that stuff
that's on that contact page?
00:27:02.18\00:27:04.32
Sounds great. My privilege.
00:27:04.35\00:27:05.69

00:27:05.72\00:27:07.76
