You know, I remember a story. 00:16:00.36\00:16:03.53 I don't know if you have any follow up on it, 00:16:03.56\00:16:06.16 probably she's talked to you about it for a little later, 00:16:06.19\00:16:08.43 but do you remember the guy on the boat in the river, 00:16:08.46\00:16:13.10 the river boat guy. 00:16:13.13\00:16:14.57 He was going to have a hernia operation, 00:16:14.60\00:16:17.57 did that happen? 00:16:17.61\00:16:20.28 Yes, he had his hernia operation. 00:16:20.31\00:16:22.01 In fact, if you watch the video 00:16:22.04\00:16:26.98 that is coming out, 00:16:27.02\00:16:28.35 that Carlson and the others are working on, 00:16:28.38\00:16:30.49 that should be released any day now. 00:16:30.52\00:16:32.59 You will see a little bit of footage 00:16:32.62\00:16:34.79 in the operating room there in Central Texas Medical Center. 00:16:34.82\00:16:37.53 And that's one of the individuals did. 00:16:37.56\00:16:40.00 Like I was saying, we're still in contact with, 00:16:40.03\00:16:41.76 in fact... 00:16:41.80\00:16:43.57 I was just... 00:16:43.60\00:16:44.93 He just texted you today, didn't he? 00:16:44.97\00:16:48.17 Chris and he text back and forth, 00:16:48.20\00:16:50.21 he's like his personal doctor long-term. 00:16:50.24\00:16:54.98 You have an adoption there instead of a... 00:16:55.01\00:16:56.81 Yeah. 00:16:56.85\00:16:58.31 But, you know, it was just so amazing. 00:16:58.35\00:17:00.28 You guys made him right on the boat, 00:17:00.32\00:17:05.22 and he told about his need for surgery, 00:17:05.25\00:17:07.26 and he didn't have any insurance, 00:17:07.29\00:17:09.12 and he was working as the guide and the driver of the boat, 00:17:09.16\00:17:12.49 and then you are able to put him together, 00:17:12.53\00:17:14.33 and now the follow up, I think that's just fabulous. 00:17:14.36\00:17:17.03 I do too. 00:17:17.07\00:17:18.93 Let's listen to the follow-up, it gets even better, right? 00:17:18.97\00:17:21.57 Okay. 00:17:21.60\00:17:22.94 He is right now reading the Desire of Ages 00:17:22.97\00:17:25.17 and really enjoying it. 00:17:25.21\00:17:26.57 And he is going to try and make it on Friday night, 00:17:26.61\00:17:30.38 Lord willing, to Mark Finley's opening night there, 00:17:30.41\00:17:34.75 Friday night in San Antonio. 00:17:34.78\00:17:37.49 Yeah. Praise the lord. 00:17:37.52\00:17:38.85 And that's really something 'cause he's been working nights 00:17:38.89\00:17:42.42 driving the boat there, 00:17:42.46\00:17:44.43 so for him to get off and

Yeah. 00:17:50.83\00:17:52.17 We are going to have some more exciting, 00:17:52.20\00:17:54.50 thrilling stories from Spokane 00:17:54.54\00:17:58.07 that we are going to be able to share. 00:17:58.11\00:17:59.94 And this is we will be partners with you 00:17:59.97\00:18:03.01 on each one of these as we possibly can. 00:18:03.04\00:18:06.28 It's with our people standing with us in support, 00:18:06.31\00:18:09.65 that enables us to do this 00:18:09.68\00:18:11.39 because I don't even want to tell you 00:18:11.42\00:18:15.26 how much it costs us 00:18:15.29\00:18:16.62 take our full crew and everybody 00:18:16.66\00:18:18.36 down to San Antonio for that one event. 00:18:18.39\00:18:20.76 We were there just for Pathways, 00:18:20.80\00:18:23.80 and this time, 00:18:23.83\00:18:25.17 we will tie it together with ASI, 00:18:25.20\00:18:27.14 it will cost as quite as much. 00:18:27.17\00:18:29.10 But it's worth every dime of it for our people 00:18:29.14\00:18:34.24 to know what's happening. 00:18:34.28\00:18:36.71 I believe that God is going to use this, 00:18:36.75\00:18:38.85 it's going to mushroom, 00:18:38.88\00:18:40.62 and it's going to take off around the world. 00:18:40.65\00:18:43.99 I'm hoping that we can get some high-profile physicians, 00:18:44.02\00:18:48.96 maybe some people that are in the news 00:18:48.99\00:18:51.36 right now, later on, 00:18:51.39\00:18:52.99 down the road, 00:18:53.03\00:18:54.36 get them involved with us 00:18:54.40\00:18:55.73 so that we are even able to get more public recognition 00:18:55.76\00:19:00.54 so that we could help more people. 00:19:00.57\00:19:02.74 Well, I think we got some time for about one more quick story 00:19:02.77\00:19:06.07 if you got another experience to share with us. 00:19:06.11\00:19:09.71 I'd just like to read something. 00:19:09.74\00:19:11.08 This is something that was written, 00:19:11.11\00:19:13.85 it wasn't written to me, 00:19:13.88\00:19:15.22 but he was okay with me sharing it. 00:19:15.25\00:19:18.22 This is an experience conveyed by one of the dentists 00:19:18.25\00:19:22.32 that attended in San Antonio. 00:19:22.36\00:19:24.79 There were so many stories from the volunteers, 00:19:24.83\00:19:27.10 one dentist said, 00:19:27.13\00:19:28.73 "I've been practicing dentistry for 35 years, 00:19:28.76\00:19:31.77 and I've never prayed with my patient, 00:19:31.80\00:19:33.84 and I'm going back to my practice 00:19:33.87\00:19:36.00 to make up for last time." 00:19:36.04\00:19:37.71 Well, this is one that's even more powerful. 00:19:37.74\00:19:40.58 This is written by dentist 00:19:40.61\00:19:42.08 surely after leaving San Antonio. 00:19:42.11\00:19:44.41 He writes, "What a week. 00:19:44.45\00:19:46.38 This was such a life-changing experience for me. 00:19:46.41\00:19:49.35 I feel like I have a different direction 00:19:49.38\00:19:51.69 in my life now." 00:19:51.72\00:19:53.05 And then he thanks the person that invited him to come. 00:19:53.09\00:19:55.29 He says, "Thank you and Barb 00:19:55.32\00:19:56.69 for letting me know of this ministry, 00:19:56.73\00:19:58.29 it has blessed me so much." 00:19:58.33\00:20:01.30 So that's one of the dentists that was there in San Antonio. 00:20:01.33\00:20:04.03 And that's the kind of experiences 00:20:04.07\00:20:07.00 that many of the volunteers were conveying that they had. 00:20:07.04\00:20:10.44 One person said 00:20:10.47\00:20:11.81 this has changed my life forever, 00:20:11.84\00:20:13.17 one person said, 00:20:13.21\00:20:14.54 "This has made me a different person." 00:20:14.58\00:20:16.24 And I'm just thankful for what God is doing 00:20:16.28\00:20:19.75 through this ministry, 00:20:19.78\00:20:21.28 and I'm thankful for what 3ABN is doing 00:20:21.32\00:20:23.22 to help us let people know about this ministry. 00:20:23.25\00:20:25.95 And the neat thing about that is that they can... 00:20:25.99\00:20:28.52 what we are going to do in Spokane 00:20:28.56\00:20:29.99 is people are going to learn, 00:20:30.03\00:20:31.36 how they cannot just do it at the big events 00:20:31.39\00:20:33.90 'cause we all want to work together 00:20:33.93\00:20:35.26 and do these big events, 00:20:35.30\00:20:36.63 but when we go home, we can continue this as well. 00:20:36.67\00:20:40.07 And so we are going to be launching that, 00:20:40.10\00:20:42.14 and we are so excited to, 00:20:42.17\00:20:43.51 again, be partnering with you, 3ABN. 00:20:43.54\00:20:45.74 We love working with you. 00:20:45.77\00:20:47.54 Well, thank you, and we hope 00:20:47.58\00:20:49.24 we can get that information across 00:20:49.28\00:20:53.15 to some of the local churches so that they can start 00:20:53.18\00:20:56.82 to do this new program you're talking about 00:20:56.85\00:20:59.49 that Elder Wilson has inspired you to do 00:20:59.52\00:21:02.76 where we pull it down to down 00:21:02.79\00:21:04.16 where it can be done also by a local church. 00:21:04.19\00:21:07.50 Just one quick question before we go on this event, 00:21:07.53\00:21:10.23 now we called the San Antonio, Minnesota, 00:21:10.27\00:21:12.63 the Cadillac of the Super Bowl, you had a lot of volunteers, 00:21:12.67\00:21:17.01 you've acquired other people 00:21:17.04\00:21:19.07 who did not have necessarily medical training 00:21:19.11\00:21:23.11 or expertise to offer, 00:21:23.14\00:21:24.48 but they just wanted to be a part 00:21:24.51\00:21:26.08 to do whatever they could, to lift, to carry, to wash, 00:21:26.11\00:21:28.28 to sweep, to build up, tear down. 00:21:28.32\00:21:30.99 Are you still looking for those kinds of people also? 00:21:31.02\00:21:34.16 And are those kinds of ancillary things 00:21:34.19\00:21:35.89 still necessary to the overall, 00:21:35.92\00:21:38.09 you know, scheme of what we are trying to do? 00:21:38.13\00:21:40.26 Absolutely, absolutely. 00:21:40.30\00:21:41.73 We could use hundreds more 00:21:41.76\00:21:43.97 of those kinds of non-medical people 00:21:44.00\00:21:45.83 because their services are absolutely vital. 00:21:45.87\00:21:48.17 Without them, there would be no event. 00:21:48.20\00:21:50.44 All right. 00:21:50.47\00:21:51.81 So we can definitely use them all. 00:21:51.84\00:21:53.24 All right, so then your contact, 00:21:53.27\00:21:54.61 where would you give your contact information? 00:21:54.64\00:21:56.24 And here's how they can contact you. 00:21:56.28\00:21:58.95 Yes. 00:21:58.98\00:22:00.32
