00:34 Hello, we want to welcome you
00:36 to a very special half hour presentation. 00:39 You may notice that Greg and I are sitting on the Today's set, 00:41 but this is not a Today program. 00:44 And from the open, you might have noticed 00:46 and recognized that open 00:48 from when we were in San Antonio, Texas. 00:50 Just the couple months ago, the beginning of April, 00:53 3ABN brought you at home Your Best Pathway to Health, 00:58 and it was an incredible program, 00:59 wasn't it, Greg? 01:01 Absolutely. 01:02 You know, seeing that open again is just, 01:04 oh, man, that brings back great memories 01:06 of being there in San Antonio, 01:09 and what it was like... 01:10 and, boy, I tell you, it almost inspires me, 01:12 gives me some goosebumps to see that again 01:13 what God has done through people 01:16 that are willing to serve Him, and, boy, 01:18 what a tremendous experience we had there in San Antonio. 01:21 Like Jill said, we have a special half hour program. 01:23 we have some special video rolls. 01:26 Should we even say guest? 01:27 Maybe a special guest coming our way... 01:28 I'm not sure we can call him a guest. 01:30 No, I don't think so. 01:31 But you'll see what we mean in just a moment. 01:32 That's right. 01:34 And we have a special Skype interview 01:35 that we're going to roll in a few moments 01:37 with Dr Chris and Dr Lela Lewis. 01:38 So the reason we're coming to you tonight 01:40 is because they need volunteers. 01:44 Your Best Pathway to Health is going to Spokane, 01:47 August 3rd and 4th. 01:48 It will be right before the ASI convention 01:52 that 3ABN always broadcasts there. 01:54 And August 3rd and 4th, 01:56 they have many non-medical volunteers, 01:59 but there's a very special need for medical volunteers, 02:02 especially dentists and surgeons. 02:07 Yeah, absolutely. 02:08 You know, this is need too because you may say, 02:10 "Oh, well, why watch this program? 02:12 I'm not a dentist, I'm not a surgeon." 02:14 But there are many ways that you can help, 02:16 obviously, we are looking for those specifically, 02:18 but they have some volunteers that have come forward that, 02:21 you know, there are many places that you can volunteer, 02:23 but also financially I know that they're always looking 02:26 and/or willing to receive any donations 02:29 that you're able to send their way to. 02:31 And I was thinking if you are not a dentist, 02:34 or a surgeon, or you'll say, 02:35 "I'm not a medical person right now," 02:37 but, you know, what you can do? 02:39 You can call your friend 02:40 who may be is a dentist or a surgeon. 02:42 You can contact your doctor, and say, "You know what? 02:46 Would you be willing to go and volunteer?" 02:49 You can contact to somebody that you know, 02:51 maybe it's a relative. 02:52 Everybody knows somebody, 02:53 we all have a circle of influence, 02:55 and we know somebody, 02:56 so we're going to put out that website later in program. 02:59 We want to mention that for you to go and to volunteer, 03:02 especially for Pathway to Health. 03:04 But going back to San Antonio, Greg, 03:06 it was an incredible experience 03:08 just to see what God did in that city. 03:12 And I know that we have a role that we want to look at. 03:16 It'll show you just a just a peek 03:18 if you were not able to see any of the broadcasts 03:20 from San Antonio. 03:21 It will show you just a peek of 03:22 what took place there in San Antonio. 03:28 We're looking here at the Alamodome. 03:30 Absolutely. 03:31 And what's neat, it was very organized, 03:33 you just saw there, briefly, 03:34 some of the colors of all the curtains. 03:35 Those were all areas like one was for dentistry, 03:38 one was for eye, etcetera. 03:40 They're very well organized. 03:41 You see the people waiting in line, 03:43 and people being checked in, registered. 03:45 Yes, absolutely. 03:47 They served, I believe, was it over 6,000 people? 03:50 Yes, 6,100-something, absolutely. 03:53 In just a few days time. 03:54 There you can see the colors as organized 03:55 as each one of those sections was a particular... 03:58 like I like we mentioned, dental is taken care out there. 04:01 There's a dentist doing some work. 04:03 Absolutely. 04:05 You know, what's amazing there is that 04:06 they did some complicated things in dentistry. 04:08 It wasn't just looking at your teeth 04:10 and cleaning them, 04:11 they were actually extracting teeth. 04:16 Just incredible to see the level of organization, 04:18 the level of commitment. 04:21 You have to push out the gum out 04:23 so that the gum doesn't get sore. 04:27 Praise the Lord for gifted the dentists, 04:28 you know, and dental hygienists 04:30 and assistants coming in and doing their work. 04:33 Absolutely. 04:34 Yeah, and it actually went very smooth, 04:36 it was amazing that the people were lining up 04:37 at midnight or even earlier 04:39 to get in the next day. 04:41 But what a tremendous service was provided 04:44 for the people there, and what a... 04:46 I don't know, when I think of Christ 04:48 and what He did here on this earth, 04:49 he went around serving others. 04:52 Amen. 04:54 Give enough time, 04:55 give enough of their talent, their ability. 04:56 Yep. 04:58 And you think a lot of people do not have dental insurance, 05:00 they may have other insurance, but not dental, 05:02 and so all of these people were able to get worked on 05:06 on their teeth and their mouth at the really needed time. 05:09 Absolutely. 05:10 And there's Dr. Chris Lewis. That's right. 05:12 On the right, there on the green shirt, 05:13 he and his wife have been the leaders 05:15 of this great movement, 05:17 if you want to call it that. 05:19 Yeah, again, just some of the overhead shots of 05:21 what's taking place, they were busy, 05:23 I know the volunteers, the doctors, nurses, 05:25 everyone was tired, but no one was complaining. 05:28 No. That's right. 05:30 That smile says it all. It does, doesn't it? 05:32 Look at that little guy's face. 05:34 You know, they served young and old. 05:36 And like you said, it hit a real niche there 05:38 in the community of San Antonio. 05:41 And like we just mentioned, you know, I think about Christ 05:42 when He was here on this earth as we did, 05:44 He went around helping others. 05:46 And when you do that, meet somebody's need, 05:49 they're open and receptive to the gospel. 05:51 But I know we have other roll here 05:53 that we want to go to the Skype interview, 05:55 you want to fetch to that? 05:56 That's right. Absolutely. 05:58 This is with Dr. Chris and Dr. Lela Lewis. 06:01 But Pastor CA and Pastor Jim were able to sit down 06:05 just a few days ago, 06:07 they sat down here in these chairs, 06:09 and they did a Skype interview 06:11 with Dr. Chris and Dr. Lela Lewis. 06:13 And what they did is they just said, 06:14 "Okay, tell our viewers at home about the needs. 06:18 Tell how we can get involved in," 06:20 especially I know 06:22 they need dentists, and they need surgeons, 06:24 but let's go to that right now and we'll have a listen. 06:29 CA, I know that you were as old as I were 06:33 with San Antonio 06:35 and what took way with Pathways? 06:38 You know, thinking back just a little bit ago, 06:42 the excitement, every time that sort of runs 06:45 through my head, you get excited all over again. 06:47 Oh, yeah. Because it was a first. 06:51 This whole initiative 06:52 that is started by doctors Chris and Lela Lewis, 06:54 and we put them at the head 06:56 because somebody's got to be the genesis of this... 06:57 Well, they are. And they are. 06:59 It was the first in Adventism, it was the first in medicine 07:03 slash Adventism that we bring the gospel, 07:08 the feet, the hands of the gospel to an entire town. 07:11 And every time we think about that, 07:12 it makes you smile and kind of be proud 07:13 to be a Seventh-day Adventist. 07:15 Well, they had done it in San Francisco and Okla, 07:17 and that was on a grand scale. 07:19 Yes. 07:20 But this was the Super Bowl. Yeah, it was. 07:21 I mean, it was unbelievable, 07:23 and this great big Alamodome, 07:27 and well-organized. 07:31 And actually this father George 07:33 is a just an unbelievable organizer. 07:36 Incredibly well. 07:37 You got 1,700 volunteers, 07:39 different professions, different vocations, 07:41 different areas of activity, different areas of expertise, 07:44 and everybody moving together, 07:47 moving and pulling in the same direction 07:48 for a really fabulous spiritual experience. 07:51 Right. 07:52 And a fabulous medical experience. 07:53 Right. 07:55 Now they're getting ready for Spokane. 07:57 Precisely. 07:58 Spokane is going to be a little different 07:59 'cause, you know, Spokane is not San Antonio. 08:02 And we're going to be there for ASI. 08:04 And just prior to ASI, 08:07 this big event is taking place, 08:08 already people are signing up. 08:10 Yes. 08:12 And so we're going to ask Dr. Chris and Dr. Lela 08:16 to join us by Skype right now. 08:19 And, doctors, how are you today? 08:23 We're great. How are you guys? 08:25 Good. 08:26 And we're just so happy to visit with you 08:29 and we're looking forward 08:30 not only seeing your general conference 08:32 'cause we hope you will come and see us 08:34 and be with us at our booth 08:36 but we also are looking forward 08:39 to joining you and being with you 08:42 while we are in Spokane. 08:45 So tell us a little bit about 08:47 what's going to happen in Spokane, would you? 08:50 Well, we're really excited again. 08:52 Spokane, like you mentioned, 08:53 is just going to be a little different 08:54 than San Antonio obviously city-wise, size-wise, 08:58 but the mayor's office of Spokane as well 09:01 has just absolutely ecstatic about what's offered. 09:04 They are completely supportive. 09:06 In fact, they've given us the fair grounds for usage, 09:09 and we're going to have many of the same services 09:12 that we had in San Antonio and the Bay area as well. 09:15 We are actually seeking to service 1,500 people 09:17 Lord willing per day, 09:19 so that's 3,000 people in 2 days. 09:21 Wow. 09:23 So what days will this be? Can you help us with that? 09:27 This is going to be Monday and Tuesday, 09:30 August 3 and 4, 09:32 just prior to ASI international annual convention. 09:35 All right. 09:36 Now tell us, doctors, the fairgrounds. 09:38 This is an indoor facility, an outdoor facility? 09:41 What are we looking at? 09:43 It's an indoor facility, 09:45 it's a little bit different shape, 09:47 it has three different buildings, 09:48 but they're all connected. 09:49 The nice thing about it is we'll actually be able to 09:52 make our food right there on site. 09:54 You know how we had the meals at lunchtime 09:56 and the people brought in meals 09:57 for both the patients and the volunteers. 09:59 They'll actually be able to make it onsite 10:01 and do a lot of stuff onsite as opposed to offsite. 10:04 Wow. Okay. 10:06 Well, we're obviously looking forward 10:09 to being there and being with you. 10:11 And now tell us 10:13 you've got about 600 people already signed up, 10:16 I understand. 10:17 We have 611 people as of this morning signed up. 10:21 We know we only had 500 people signed up in the Bay area. 10:25 Yeah. 10:26 And of course, we had 1,700 in San Antonio. 10:29 Our goal is to get closer to around 800 volunteers, 10:33 so if we keep up what we're doing, 10:35 by God's grace 10:36 and with all of 3ABN's support and help, 10:38 we can reach that goal. 10:40 Well, we usually need quite a few dentists. 10:43 How many dentists do you have and how many do you need? 10:47 That's just the thing, we do have the 611 volunteers. 10:51 We have a lot of lay people, a lot of non-medical people 10:54 which we're very excited about. 10:56 In fact, we could have used more of those in San Antonio. 10:57 Yeah, we needed a lot more 10:58 in San Antonio as you guys remember. 11:00 Yes. 11:01 But right now, we have about 24 dentists 11:04 and we'd like to have a lot more, 11:06 and we `also have about... 11:09 How many primary care providers do we have? 11:10 We have 40 physicians right now, 11:14 28 primary care providers, 11:17 but we only have one general surgeon 11:19 and one orthopedist. 11:21 So we really need the sub specialties as well. 11:23 Okay. 11:24 So you need some surgeons and... 11:28 Dentists, and optometrists, and ophthalmologists also. 11:31 Okay. 11:33 The eye care department in particular. 11:34 Yeah, I'm calling out to some of my good friends 11:36 Dr. Dwaine beats, you be sure to be with us, 11:40 I'll be looking for you in Spokane, 11:42 a good friend of mine, a great physician. 11:44 And I know that there are... 11:47 You've got about 24 dentists, but how many could you use? 11:52 We have space for 50 actually. 11:55 We could actually get up to 60, so we could definitely... 11:58 we can definitely use more dentists. 12:00 You can double the number of dentists 12:02 you have and use them. 12:03 Absolutely. Absolutely. 12:06 And our eye care professionals right now, 12:08 we have 5 optometrists and two ophthalmologists, 12:12 and we'd like to get that to ten, 12:14 at least 10 optometrists and maybe 5 ophthalmologists. 12:18 Okay. 12:19 Now did you not mention we were talking 12:21 that one of the local hospitals 12:23 is providing surgical suite for you this time also. 12:27 They've offered it, 12:28 which is a really interesting situation. 12:30 You know, we had CTMC, Central Texas Medical Center, 12:34 which is of course is an Adventist health hospital 12:36 there in San Antonio. 12:38 There aren't any real close Adventist health hospitals, 12:41 although while general, 12:42 we're excited about their participations 12:44 like three hours away, so it's too far. 12:47 But there is a local hospital that's offered that, 12:49 so we would love to increase our surgeons 12:51 and be able to offer that to the, 12:53 you know, surgical unit as well. 12:55 Uh-huh. 12:57 So we have a callout for dentists and surgeons, 13:00 in particular, 13:02 and anyone else who can provide care? 13:04 Right. Absolutely. 13:06 Sometimes it's difficult to get these dentists, 13:08 it's like pulling teeth to get these guys... 13:11 But when they come, 13:14 they're probably the busiest of everyone 13:17 for those with dental care 13:19 because there are so many places 13:20 that do not offer any kind of dental care 13:24 to those who don't have insurance coverage. 13:28 That's true. 13:29 And this is amazing 13:30 because we're not just talking about... 13:32 And there are some homeless people, 13:34 but we're talking about ordinary people 13:38 who just have minimal income, 13:41 barely able to keep food on the table, 13:43 and keep rent, 13:45 and they're just don't have the discretionary money 13:50 to go to a dentist 13:51 or go to have eye glasses, 13:53 and these are two areas that we're in need. 13:57 But, you know, Dr. Chris, 13:58 we watched you do a surgery 14:01 right in the Alamodome, 14:04 and I've got pictures of it. 14:06 I would show it here, 14:07 but I'm afraid that people couldn't handle it. 14:10 But you were doing surgery right there 14:14 and with nothing but just a curtain around, 14:16 you had fairly good light, 14:18 and you had a great assistant. 14:21 Your daughter was helping you, and but there was... 14:25 I wish people could actually see that footage, 14:27 and maybe if we get the courage, sometime, 14:30 well put a few seconds of it on. 14:32 But it was just really impressive to see... 14:38 How many surgeries did they do in the dome there? 14:41 We did... Go ahead. 14:42 About 300 procedures, not just by, 14:46 you know, the surgeons, 14:47 orthopedic surgery was operating. 14:49 Gynecology. 14:50 Gynecology, plastic surgery, dermatology, podiatry. 14:54 There were number of specialty areas 14:57 that were all working on people, 14:59 And, you know, it's been interesting, 15:02 we are still in touch with, 15:04 you know, some of the patients, you know, personally. 15:07 And the impact of the Alamodome experience, 15:11 there in Pathways San Antonio 15:13 is still carrying on with patients 15:16 who had surgical procedures as well as medical care. 15:18 I just got off the phone with Dr. Fiona Linda. 15:21 She's a urogynecologist, remember she is the one 15:23 that was doing the Cystoscopies and Hysteroscopies, 15:25 again, the scopes of the bladder 15:27 and the uterus in the Alamodome, 15:29 which is like unheard of. 15:31 Well, I just got off the phone with her just a little bit ago, 15:34 she's in Europe right now. 15:35 She's arranging with the reps for them 15:37 to bring the same equipment to Spokane 15:40 and to donate a bunch of surgical instruments, 15:43 so Lord willing, we could get more surgeons 15:45 and we can really beef up that really needed service. 15:48 The other thing I just got word of was mammography, 15:52 they wanted the local hospitals 15:53 that's going to be bringing a mammogram machine down, 15:56 and so we can start offering that to our patients as well. 16:00 Wow. You know, I remember a story. 16:03 I don't know if you have any follow up on it, 16:06 probably she's talked to you about it for a little later, 16:08 but do you remember the guy on the boat in the river, 16:13 the river boat guy. 16:14 He was going to have a hernia operation, 16:17 did that happen? 16:20 Yes, he had his hernia operation. 16:22 In fact, if you watch the video 16:27 that is coming out, 16:28 that Carlson and the others are working on, 16:30 that should be released any day now. 16:32 You will see a little bit of footage 16:34 in the operating room there in Central Texas Medical Center. 16:37 And that's one of the individuals did. 16:40 Like I was saying, we're still in contact with, 16:41 in fact... 16:43 I was just... 16:44 He just texted you today, didn't he? 16:48 Chris and he text back and forth, 16:50 he's like his personal doctor long-term. 16:55 You have an adoption there instead of a... 16:56 Yeah. 16:58 But, you know, it was just so amazing. 17:00 You guys made him right on the boat, 17:05 and he told about his need for surgery, 17:07 and he didn't have any insurance, 17:09 and he was working as the guide and the driver of the boat, 17:12 and then you are able to put him together, 17:14 and now the follow up, I think that's just fabulous. 17:17 I do too. 17:18 Let's listen to the follow-up, it gets even better, right? 17:21 Okay. 17:22 He is right now reading the Desire of Ages 17:25 and really enjoying it. 17:26 And he is going to try and make it on Friday night, 17:30 Lord willing, to Mark Finley's opening night there, 17:34 Friday night in San Antonio. 17:37 Yeah. Praise the lord. 17:38 And that's really something 'cause he's been working nights 17:42 driving the boat there, 17:44 so for him to get off and go, that's a miracle. 17:46 Praise the lord. 17:48 Let's pray he can get off, 17:49 he wants to get off and make it doing. 17:50 Yeah. 17:52 We are going to have some more exciting, 17:54 thrilling stories from Spokane 17:58 that we are going to be able to share. 17:59 And this is we will be partners with you 18:03 on each one of these as we possibly can. 18:06 It's with our people standing with us in support, 18:09 that enables us to do this 18:11 because I don't even want to tell you 18:15 how much it costs us 18:16 take our full crew and everybody 18:18 down to San Antonio for that one event. 18:20 We were there just for Pathways, 18:23 and this time, 18:25 we will tie it together with ASI, 18:27 it will cost as quite as much. 18:29 But it's worth every dime of it for our people 18:34 to know what's happening. 18:36 I believe that God is going to use this, 18:38 it's going to mushroom, 18:40 and it's going to take off around the world. 18:44 I'm hoping that we can get some high-profile physicians, 18:48 maybe some people that are in the news 18:51 right now, later on, 18:53 down the road, 18:54 get them involved with us 18:55 so that we are even able to get more public recognition 19:00 so that we could help more people. 19:02 Well, I think we got some time for about one more quick story 19:06 if you got another experience to share with us. 19:09 I'd just like to read something. 19:11 This is something that was written, 19:13 it wasn't written to me, 19:15 but he was okay with me sharing it. 19:18 This is an experience conveyed by one of the dentists 19:22 that attended in San Antonio. 19:24 There were so many stories from the volunteers, 19:27 one dentist said, 19:28 "I've been practicing dentistry for 35 years, 19:31 and I've never prayed with my patient, 19:33 and I'm going back to my practice 19:36 to make up for last time." 19:37 Well, this is one that's even more powerful. 19:40 This is written by dentist 19:42 surely after leaving San Antonio. 19:44 He writes, "What a week. 19:46 This was such a life-changing experience for me. 19:49 I feel like I have a different direction 19:51 in my life now." 19:53 And then he thanks the person that invited him to come. 19:55 He says, "Thank you and Barb 19:56 for letting me know of this ministry, 19:58 it has blessed me so much." 20:01 So that's one of the dentists that was there in San Antonio. 20:04 And that's the kind of experiences 20:07 that many of the volunteers were conveying that they had. 20:10 One person said 20:11 this has changed my life forever, 20:13 one person said, 20:14 "This has made me a different person." 20:16 And I'm just thankful for what God is doing 20:19 through this ministry, 20:21 and I'm thankful for what 3ABN is doing 20:23 to help us let people know about this ministry. 20:25 And the neat thing about that is that they can... 20:28 what we are going to do in Spokane 20:30 is people are going to learn, 20:31 how they cannot just do it at the big events 20:33 'cause we all want to work together 20:35 and do these big events, 20:36 but when we go home, we can continue this as well. 20:40 And so we are going to be launching that, 20:42 and we are so excited to, 20:43 again, be partnering with you, 3ABN. 20:45 We love working with you. 20:47 Well, thank you, and we hope 20:49 we can get that information across 20:53 to some of the local churches so that they can start 20:56 to do this new program you're talking about 20:59 that Elder Wilson has inspired you to do 21:02 where we pull it down to down 21:04 where it can be done also by a local church. 21:07 Just one quick question before we go on this event, 21:10 now we called the San Antonio, Minnesota, 21:12 the Cadillac of the Super Bowl, you had a lot of volunteers, 21:17 you've acquired other people 21:19 who did not have necessarily medical training 21:23 or expertise to offer, 21:24 but they just wanted to be a part 21:26 to do whatever they could, to lift, to carry, to wash, 21:28 to sweep, to build up, tear down. 21:31 Are you still looking for those kinds of people also? 21:34 And are those kinds of ancillary things 21:35 still necessary to the overall, 21:38 you know, scheme of what we are trying to do? 21:40 Absolutely, absolutely. 21:41 We could use hundreds more 21:44 of those kinds of non-medical people 21:45 because their services are absolutely vital. 21:48 Without them, there would be no event. 21:50 All right. 21:51 So we can definitely use them all. 21:53 All right, so then your contact, 21:54 where would you give your contact information? 21:56 And here's how they can contact you. 21:58 Yes. 22:00 If they will go to www.PathwayToHealth, 22:05 all one word, Volunteer.org, 22:08 www.Pathway ToHealthVolunteer.org. 22:12 All right. Very good. 22:14 And we need all kinds of volunteers 22:17 but especially dentists and surgeons, 22:20 but anyone can be used by God 22:25 as a volunteer in Spokane. 22:28 Thank you so much for joining us. 22:29 Thank you. Thank you, guys. 22:32 We'll see you. 22:35 Well, a fantastic roll right here 22:36 a great Skype there with Pastor Jim and Pastor CA 22:39 and the doctors Chris and Lela Lewis, 22:41 you know, when there they put out there 22:43 what their need is 22:45 and what an opportunity we all have, 22:46 I'm not a doctor or a nurse, but we can pray. 22:49 And if not, we can also support financially as well, 22:51 I know that's always a blessing. 22:52 But what tremendous work these two doctors are doing. 22:57 And I don't even know 22:58 if the sacrifice is the right word, 22:59 but it's a burning desire in their heart to help others, 23:02 and it just comes through when you meet them, 23:03 just on fire, go getter type of people 23:06 and just doing a great work for the Lord. 23:08 Now we have a guest, but I don't think guest 23:09 is the right term 'cause he's actually our boss, 23:12 we have the president... 23:13 He is our boss. 23:14 And you just saw him on the Skype interview. 23:16 That's right. 23:17 Yeah, and we have Elder Gilley with us. 23:18 We are glad that you are here with us, Elder Gilley. 23:20 This is weird because it feels like 23:21 you should be here and we should be there. 23:23 I'm very comfortable here. But the Lord is our boss. 23:27 He is the only one who is our boss, 23:30 and the rest of us, we're team, we work together as a team. 23:34 And we have different positions, 23:37 but every position on the team is extremely important. 23:40 I got a call from Dr. Chris just this week 23:44 after we shot the program originally last week, 23:47 and he was excited, 23:49 we've had a tremendous response. 23:51 But they still need general volunteers, 23:54 they can use them, but more specifically, 23:57 they still have a great need for dentists and surgeons. 24:02 So if you fall into that category, 24:05 please get in touch with them. 24:07 And you can talk to them, 24:08 there are a lot of different questions, 24:10 I don't know, 24:11 I mentioned something about surgeries, 24:12 so what about liability, they can answer that. 24:14 Yeah, that's good. There is coverage. 24:16 I'm not going to try to explain it. 24:18 They will explain it to you, so you contact them. 24:22 But you're in good hands if you are a surgeon. 24:24 And by the way, 24:25 I mentioned when we were talking to CA 24:27 that I had footage 24:29 which I have got three different sets, 24:31 I got four actually sets on my iPhone 24:34 a footage from that surgery that I witnessed, 24:38 it took place right on the floor, 24:40 right behind the curtains. 24:42 You said it would make us squeamish. 24:43 And there are dozens of surgeries going on. 24:44 But you said in the Skype, it would make us squeamish, 24:46 so does this going to make me squeamish? 24:48 In the one that I had would. Okay. 24:51 It made me feel that way, 24:53 but I have a different segment of another one. 24:56 That kind of gives you the feel of it, 25:00 it shows you what's happening in the surgical basis. 25:03 So that is you with your iPhone. 25:04 I'm behind the doctor. 25:06 You can see my good friend CA Murray, 25:08 he's filming on the other side, 25:10 that camera he has 25:11 works not only as a still camera 25:13 but also a movie camera or video. 25:16 You can see that he's got the curtains around him. 25:18 That's right. 25:19 And I think you just got a glimpse of the surgery 25:24 taking place in that room. 25:26 I wanted to do that so that you can kind of get the feel, 25:31 this is almost like doing a surgery 25:33 out on the field of battle almost. 25:35 Yes. 25:37 I had one surgeon tell me, "I love this," he said, 25:41 "I don't have to do 25:42 all the stuff I do at the hospital, 25:44 all the paper work I have to do. 25:46 I don't have to do all that. 25:48 I just walk into that room, 25:50 and boom, I do a surgery." 25:53 Now this is where the minor surgeries are done. 25:55 Absolutely. 25:57 There in the dome, 25:58 or in the auditorium as it will be in Spokane. 26:02 The major surgeries, they have a hospital set up. 26:08 They had used Adventist health system 26:10 in San Antonio up the road a little away. 26:14 And there they have another hospital set up 26:18 there in Spokane where they do 26:20 the real major surgery type things. 26:22 But this is exciting. It really is. 26:24 It is. It's very exciting. 26:25 We want to make sure we put up that website 26:28 so that you can contact, at home. 26:30 If you're interested, 26:31 if you are a surgeon especially or a dentist, 26:34 or if you know someone who is, 26:36 or if would like to be a general volunteer, 26:38 you go to... it's on the screen now, 26:40 PathwayToHealthVolunteer.org. 26:44 There's a red arrow at the top of the website, 26:46 you click on that, it immediately takes you in 26:49 where you can start entering in your information 26:51 and you can sign up, and that is exciting 26:54 'cause to me, Greg, when we do this, it's health, 26:57 but it's connecting the medical message, 27:00 the health message with the gospel, 27:03 and they are doing follow-up meetings as well 27:05 in San Antonio, aren't they, right now? 27:07 Absolutely. 27:08 Mark Finley, Elder Mark Finley, 27:10 and they've had a tremendous response 27:12 because of Pathway to Health coming to the meetings, 27:15 and so that's neat because not only 27:17 were they helped physically but spiritually, 27:19 an ultimately, that's what our goal is. 27:21 And so praise the Lord for that. 27:22 They are doing follow-up to the Pathway health event 27:25 and doing the evangelism as well, 27:27 which is just awesome to see. 27:28 Amen. 27:30 Well, this is a short program, it was just half an hour. 27:32 We wanted to bring to you the need to volunteer, 27:36 the need to let your friends know 27:39 about this upcoming, exciting event 27:41 in Spokane, Washington. 27:43 It's August 3 and 4, 27:46 mark your calendars, go sign up. 27:48 You will be changed. 27:49 It is a life-changing incredible opportunity. 27:53 Our time is gone. 27:54 Until we see you next time, 27:56 know that we love you that we pray for you 27:58 and we covet your prayers as well. 28:00 Bye-bye. |
