00:01 Hey, I've got a tip for you.
00:02 Don't walk in a rainforest 00:04 when it's raining if you don't want to get wet, 00:06 but let me tell you, it was worth it coming up here. 00:09 This view is absolutely tremendous. 00:12 And I don't know if you've ever done 00:14 what I've done, I love to do on waterfalls. 00:16 And that's, you know, 00:17 you start at the top 00:18 and pick out a droplet of water 00:20 and follow it all the way down. 00:21 Because that's really what a waterfall is, 00:23 is all those individual droplets 00:25 on a waterfall this big, 00:26 but it's spectacular. 00:28 It's an amazing creation of God. 00:31 Pohnpei is filled with waterfalls everywhere. 00:34 And it just, like I say, 00:36 it reminds me directly from the hand of the Creator. 00:38 There, you know, 00:39 it's been destroyed really by thousands of years of sin, 00:44 but it still remains enough 00:45 to give us a visual indication of the Creator God. 01:07 Well, I just came under from the wet to the dry. 01:10 You know, there's a huge overhang with a cave, 01:12 I want you to check out in a moment. 01:14 But, I mean, it's wonderful. 01:16 I'm soaking wet. 01:18 I'm filthy dirty now. 01:19 But this is what you come out here for. 01:21 This is the fun. 01:22 This is the exploration to see the beauty, 01:24 to see everything of God's creation. 01:27 You can hear the waterfall just right off to the side 01:30 of us cascading over the cave. 01:31 So now it's time to check out the cave. 01:49 You know, 01:50 this is exciting up here 01:51 but I would have never found my way up here. 01:53 Well, you know, maybe after some time, 01:55 but they may have found my body. 01:57 But my buddy here, Mr. Dee. 02:00 He's my guide. 02:01 And he's got a lot of good stories, 02:03 because as a child you came up here. 02:06 Tell me what you were sharing something about honeybees 02:08 or something? 02:09 Yeah, we used to come during our time 02:11 I was in elementary like 1960s. 02:15 We come up here and we hide all over under. 02:22 And we have to use the stick to poke. 02:24 How did you get a stick that tall? 02:26 Those are really tall. 02:27 Oh, no, they are low. That's side it's very low. 02:29 Very low. 02:30 Yeah. 02:32 So we have to go up and poke, you know, the lower ones. 02:34 When they fell, these honeybees, 02:36 they're all over us, 02:38 stinging us, and sometimes our eyes are so swollen, 02:43 we cannot see. 02:45 So my question is, why did you do that? 02:47 Just fun and we like the taste of, 02:50 you know, the honey. 02:51 Yeah. 02:53 And just making fun of each other. 02:55 I want you to know, I like him as a brother. 02:57 I've got my arm around him. 02:58 But I've also got my arm around him 03:00 so he doesn't fall off the cliff. 03:02 Tell me another story. What about these caves? 03:04 There's a lot of lore involved. 03:07 You know, when I first came up here, 03:10 you could not see rocks here. 03:12 It's covered by, you know, 03:14 the waste from the bats and the swiftlet. 03:18 It's all over here. 03:19 So we go inside there 03:21 and we just slide down in the... 03:23 In the bat guano. 03:24 Yeah. 03:25 So now people found out that 03:28 it's really good for fertilizer. 03:30 It's all gone. 03:31 Just clean up nothing. 03:33 It's only a little bit left. 03:34 So you're not going to be tempted today 03:36 to slide down anywhere. 03:37 No, it's all rocks in. 03:39 We cannot do that anymore. 03:41 Oh, man, I'm getting to know you better all with that. 03:45 Do you have any other stories 03:47 that you haven't told us about the cave? 03:48 You've always got a great story. 03:51 Let's say you're out of stories. 03:52 Well, there is a place that side just like... 03:58 Don't go away from me too far, you are getting... 04:00 Pile of rocks. 04:01 And people believe that when you come up here, 04:03 you have to bring branches or bees or leaves, 04:07 bushes and leave it on that pile of rocks. 04:13 I'll have to go over there 04:15 because I got it all over my clothes 04:16 so I can leave in there. 04:17 So that you don't get accident here. 04:20 They believe that the ghost or the spirits will protect you 04:24 when you are here if you do that. 04:25 Okay. All right. 04:27 And I think today we forgot. 04:30 That's okay. We've got the Lord. 04:31 Yeah, yeah. 04:33 Hey, I appreciate it. 04:34 We got to check out the caves now. 04:40 So all this is all bat guano everywhere. 04:44 It's all over. Here it's just below. 04:47 Before in 1960s and 70s you cannot see rocks. 04:50 I know it's a lot more up there because I can smell it. 04:52 It's strong. 04:55 Matter of fact, 04:57 I was going to stay up in the cave for a little bit, 04:59 explore a little more, 05:00 but it is way too strong for me. 05:02 I'm coming back a little ways. 05:12 This is absolutely beautiful. 05:15 It's a nice place 05:16 where people come for a picnic or, 05:19 you know, they come just to relax. 05:21 Picnic, boy, the Pohnpeians are strong, 05:24 because that's quite a journey. 05:26 But whenever they come here, they have to, you know, 05:29 they believe that you have to bring leave or things, 05:34 something to offer to the spirits here. 05:37 Okay. 05:38 So that you will have good luck here. 05:40 So you grabbed the leaf. 05:42 You're going to show us how to do? 05:44 The leaves and see people who came before us 05:45 they have all these pile of leaves. 05:48 And what spirit is this supposed to be to? 05:52 I'm not sure. 05:53 But, you know, 05:54 they say the spirit here will protect you 05:56 while you are here. 05:57 So just kind of cover their beds, hedge their beds. 05:59 Yeah. 06:00 They don't know if it works or not? 06:01 No. 06:03 But I know you and I have talked, 06:04 we serve the God of heaven. 06:06 Yeah, many times I came here, I don't bring these things. 06:09 So, you know, this is just a belief 06:13 that the people here have. 06:15 How much time did you spend here 06:17 do you think over the years? 06:21 Not really many, 06:22 whenever tourists or you know 06:24 some of the student missionaries 06:26 would like to come up here, 06:27 I bring them up here. 06:28 When you stay with missionaries. 06:30 So maybe once a year, maybe in a year, 06:31 maybe they come up here maybe three, four times. 06:35 Three, four times? Oh, that's quite a bit. 06:36 All right. 06:37 Yes, I noticed this too. 06:39 This is beautiful over here, the waterfall. 06:41 Yeah, it's a little bit small. 06:43 Sometimes it's really big when it's raining. 06:46 The waterfall will be really pouring down. 06:54 Had to stop here for a moment 06:55 and just give you an idea 06:57 of the grandeur of this location. 06:59 It is massive. It's stunning. 07:01 Absolutely beautiful. 07:03 I'm going to think about the size 07:04 and I feel like almost an ant 07:06 against these massive cliffs. 07:09 Think about the Lord, Isaiah says, 07:10 "I sit on the circle of the earth. 07:12 Everybody's like grasshoppers to me." 07:15 And God is so awesome, so wonderful. 07:18 And to think He came down here 07:20 to planet earth to talk with us, 07:22 to walk among us. 07:24 Is this amazing? 07:26 Yes, it is. 07:27 God is more amazing. 07:31 We've got so much more for you. 07:33 I invite you to stay tuned because we'll be right back. 07:46 According to the World Health Organization, 07:49 depression is the leading cause of worldwide disability 07:53 that happens to a lot of people. 07:55 Are you depressed? 07:56 Have you become discouraged lately? 07:58 The list is endless of things 08:00 that can trigger discouragement, 08:01 despair, or even depression. 08:04 If you are someone you know 08:05 is experiencing one or more of these difficulties, 08:08 we have a great little booklet for you. 08:10 It's written by author and international speaker 08:12 Jim Ayer. 08:14 Overcoming the 3Ds contains timely advice 08:17 set in a lighthearted manner, 08:18 meant to help lift you up and out of your problems. 08:22 Understand, we all have problems, 08:24 trials and troubles, 08:25 but we don't need to focus on them. 08:28 You can obtain your copy right now 08:30 by going to canvasback.org. 08:32 And for a gift of any amount, that's for any gift amount, 08:36 you will receive your copy of Overcoming the 3Ds. 08:39 Get your copy today. 08:44 So tell me doctor, we're in what room right now? 08:46 We had a hard place in the hospital 08:48 finding a place 08:49 where we wouldn't be totally obtrusive. 08:51 That's right. 08:52 We're in the area 08:54 where all the instruments are autoclaved. 08:56 And some instruments are stored as you can see here. 08:59 And we have tabletop autoclaves that we use for ophthalmology 09:04 because our instruments are small. 09:06 So we have two different sizes, 09:09 kind of a medium and a large 09:10 that have larger cassettes 09:13 that where the cooking of the instruments occurs. 09:16 And as we're talking here, 09:17 you'll hear occasionally a little err sound. 09:19 Yeah, what is that sound for our viewers? 09:20 It's going to drive them crazy, probably, 09:22 but we'll focus on you. 09:23 Right, but that's a sound 09:24 that makes us having to do with. 09:27 Just like in a pressure cooker, 09:28 it's maintaining a certain pressure 09:30 as the instruments are being cooked. 09:32 And then once the cycle is done, 09:35 then it starts venting off gas, 09:37 which is another interesting sound, 09:39 you may hear as we go along. 09:40 Okay. 09:41 Can I assume that 09:43 your team brought all of these instruments? 09:45 No, these are instruments 09:46 that the hospital pass 09:48 and they are generally much larger, 09:51 you know, for all different types of cases 09:53 that they might do. 09:54 There's general surgeons here 09:56 and we've already witnessed them 09:59 doing some amputations. 10:00 We've also witnessed a C section birth, 10:05 you know, not, well, 10:07 I mean, through the window, 10:08 we didn't assist with it, but... 10:10 So everything... 10:11 Normal cases going on here. 10:13 Everything you bring 10:14 is more specialized a lot smaller typically. 10:17 That's right. 10:18 We have instruments 10:20 that are generally small enough 10:22 that it's hard to tell what they are 10:24 without putting them under the microscope. 10:26 Okay. 10:27 And so an entire tray would be about, 10:30 you know, a little bit bigger than my hand of, 10:33 say, 10 or so instruments 10:34 that we would use for a routine case. 10:36 And then we have our accessory instruments, 10:37 either in other trays or in sterile bags 10:40 that can be opened as needed. 10:42 Now, I know you've got a real heart for Canvasback. 10:45 You've been a driving force, 10:46 recruiting and bringing people together 10:49 to participate in these teams. 10:50 Tell me a little more about that? 10:52 Well, I first went, I believe is in 2002, 10:55 on an ophthalmology trip, 10:56 and I enjoyed it enough that I went a few more times. 11:00 And it turned out that until this trip, 11:02 they were all in one of the locations 11:05 that we go to in the Marshall Islands. 11:07 But I believe this is my fifth or sixth trip that I've made, 11:12 and it evolved into me, you know, 11:15 directing it as medically 11:16 and getting the doctors together 11:18 and the team members, which is really a lot of fun. 11:20 Because when you tell them, we're going to go help people, 11:23 and we're going to do this kind of work, 11:25 and we're going to go, 11:27 you know, to an interesting place, 11:28 then they're usually saying, 11:30 "Oh, I'd really like to go, let me check my calendar." 11:33 And sometimes there's problems with that. 11:35 But I don't usually have to ask too many people 11:38 before we get team together. 11:40 For this particular team, 11:41 how long did it actually take you to recruit the team? 11:44 I'd say it came together over maybe a two month period, 11:47 something like that. 11:48 That is pretty rapidly, really. 11:50 Yes. 11:51 Yeah, some, every once in a while, 11:52 there's a key position where I have to ask more people 11:54 to make it work out. 11:55 Okay. 11:56 Now, tell us what type of people are needed 11:58 on these kinds of teams? 12:00 Well, certainly for an ophthalmology team, 12:02 we need people with special skills. 12:04 So besides surgeons, we need assistance, 12:09 who are used to doing that kind of work 12:11 so that we can be efficient. 12:13 And, so it's a special skill set. 12:16 We have a pool of people who say, I really like to help, 12:21 but I've never worked with eyes before. 12:23 And those people can come and can be of help, 12:25 and we can train them in. 12:27 But we can't go only on those kind of people, 12:29 we need people, 12:31 as I said, had the special skill set. 12:33 And so I'm specifically looking for those people. 12:36 Okay. 12:37 Tell me a little bit more 12:38 why you have such a heart for Canvasback? 12:40 Well, I just, I enjoy helping people. 12:44 That's why I became a doctor in the first place. 12:46 And then there's a further enjoyment 12:49 from doing it for as a volunteer to help people 12:55 who especially may not have access to the care. 12:59 Nobody gets paid for this? 13:01 That's right. It's a volunteer thing. 13:03 So that's a special joy. 13:05 So when you, when I go on a vacation, 13:07 that's enjoyable, 13:08 but it's even more enjoyable to spend vacation time 13:10 doing something that's helping people. 13:13 And we usually have a day 13:15 or so where we can enjoy the area 13:18 we're in doing excursion or something that's fun, too. 13:21 But the biggest fun 13:22 is seeing working with the people, 13:25 seeing the smiles on their faces 13:27 and knowing that we've made an impact in their lives. 13:32 We saw some... 13:33 We were watching some post-op, removing the bandages, 13:36 these people who couldn't see apparently, 13:38 hardly the hand in front of the face 13:39 all of a sudden can now see it. 13:41 That's got to be rewarding. 13:43 Right, and we don't always get to see that here 13:46 but when we operate just before the weekend, 13:49 then we get to go in on the weekend 13:50 and see some of that, 13:51 which I was able to do a couple days ago. 13:54 And that's probably 13:55 the most fun of the trip for me. 13:57 Get to see the fruits of your labor. 13:58 Right, because the doctors are in the clinic all the time. 14:00 They see it pretty much every day. 14:02 And that's that is probably 14:04 one of the more really fun parts 14:06 to see those smiles. 14:08 And when I get to see them 14:10 on that one day and then sometimes, 14:12 as I, as we come in and do their second eye, 14:16 it's often possible to do on the trip 14:18 that we get to see them. 14:19 Why do you do one eye at a time? 14:21 Oh, well, there are some risks with surgery 14:24 and one risk is that 14:25 they can have an infection in their eye 14:27 which can be devastating. 14:29 Usually, if we catch it, we can reverse it. 14:31 But it could be devastating 14:33 and even lead to loss of the eye 14:34 or loss of vision or the loss of the eye itself. 14:37 And so, this is a reason 14:39 probably not to do both eyes at once. 14:41 Although to be honest, 14:42 it is increasing in its frequency 14:44 around the world and how it's being done. 14:47 But I would say probably 14:49 not the best for a mission situation. 14:53 And so that's why we steer clear of it. 14:56 Another thing you can think of is that 14:57 we're putting an implant lens in, 14:59 it's based on a calculation. 15:00 And that calculation could be off 15:02 to the left or to the right 15:03 that is nearsighted or farsighted. 15:06 And if you do the second eye at different time, 15:09 then you can change the lens implant for that eye 15:11 to try to make the outcome be even more precise, possible. 15:14 Okay. 15:17 Riburty was born blind. 15:19 That's right. 15:21 He couldn't see it all. 15:22 The entire family were his caregivers. 15:25 Their lives were completely tied 15:27 to the needs of their little son. 15:30 The doctors at the hospital lacked the experience 15:33 to provide him with surgical help. 15:36 This situation continued for six long years. 15:40 Making less than $100 per month, 15:43 there is no way to ever afford the surgery. 15:46 Even if they could fly off island, 15:49 the surgery in another country could be $12,000. 15:54 It looked like all hope was gone. 15:57 Enter the Canvasback Super Team. 15:59 Riburty was examined and the surgery was performed. 16:03 The day the bandages came off, 16:05 he saw his parents and siblings 16:07 for the very first time. 16:09 He and the family were set free. 16:12 There are more children like Riburty 16:14 who are in desperate need. 16:16 You can change many lives. 16:18 Please give sight to the blind. 16:20 Log on to canvasback.org today 16:23 to give your gift of love. 16:25 Dr. Chen, 16:27 I heard him say this morning in our meeting, 16:29 I believe it was what, 16:30 the greatest cause of blindness is glaucoma. 16:35 Well, he said cataracts. 16:36 Cataracts, excuse me, yeah, cataract, yeah. 16:38 Yeah. 16:39 There's estimated to be about 16:41 20 to 30 million people worldwide, 16:42 who are blind in both eyes with cataracts. 16:46 And this is an estimated number, 16:47 it's hard to really pin it down. 16:50 Many of them are in areas of the world 16:52 you would expect that are the poorest 16:54 and have the least access to health care. 16:57 I have a colleague 16:59 who's been to Ethiopia 17:00 where there's probably 17:01 over a million of those patients 17:03 are in that country where there are approximately, 17:06 I think, four ophthalmologists per million residents 17:10 or maybe somewhere around there. 17:12 And some of the areas are quite rural. 17:14 And so, the more remote places, 17:18 the more likely are the patients 17:20 that are underserved by health resources like that. 17:24 And Canvasback is always in need of volunteers. 17:27 Many volunteers are going all the time, 17:30 not just eye but orthopedic and gynecology 17:35 and ear nose and throat specialist 17:37 and the list kind of goes on. 17:39 What would you say to folks, 17:41 why they're needed 17:42 it all their expertise 17:43 or non-expertise assistants, whatever? 17:46 Why are they needed? 17:47 Well, they're needed 17:49 because many hands make light work. 17:55 That's what I would say. 17:56 So we need people to come, 18:00 we need their enthusiasm, either. 18:03 But we need their hands, you know, 18:05 to do the work that needs to be done. 18:07 And at every phase of the trip, 18:12 there's surprised to be dealt with, 18:14 there's patients to be dealt with. 18:17 Sometimes when children of the workers come along, 18:20 we use them as runners to communicate back and forth, 18:23 pass notes or walk patients back 18:26 and forth between the clinic and the operating room here. 18:29 So we try to get everybody involved. 18:32 And if when we have a smaller trip 18:35 and fewer people, 18:37 then there's so many, 18:40 there's so much more exhausting these can. 18:43 We try to do everything yourself, 18:45 and you can't take care of too many patients. 18:48 Now, I've heard this before as well. 18:50 Why don't you just stay in the United States 18:52 because there's lots of need right there? 18:54 Why travel halfway across the world? 18:57 Well, there... 19:00 I would not deny that there are needs in the United States, 19:03 I would just say that seems like there are greater needs 19:05 in other countries. 19:07 And there are patients in the United States 19:13 who do not have insurance. 19:15 And I have been involved personally 19:17 in helping some of those patients 19:19 to get cataract surgery that they need. 19:21 And it's that's very rewarding also, 19:23 believe me, 19:25 and we get some wonderful thank you notes from patients 19:27 who were able to help them get care, 19:30 otherwise they couldn't have gotten. 19:31 So we have that every day mission 19:34 that we do back home. 19:36 But I would say that 19:37 the absolute numbers 19:39 of those patients are pretty low 19:40 compared to some other places in the world. 19:43 Okay. 19:46 The financial numbers for Canvasback, 19:50 it costs money to bring a team here, 19:53 but the amount of money 19:54 that comes out of it as far as the, 19:56 well, basically the amount money that's, 20:00 what's the word I'm looking for? 20:02 It's about a million dollars worth of procedures 20:05 and things that are done totally free for the people. 20:09 Why would you say 20:10 and I know you're a supporter 20:12 of the ministry financially also, 20:14 why would you say that people should support Canvasback? 20:18 Well, my answer would be that the, 20:23 when you're, 20:24 the money that you give 20:25 has a kind of a tangible result. 20:28 And that's something a lot of, when I'm a donor, 20:31 I love to see that, you know, you get to see, you know, 20:34 that you're helping people see better, 20:36 or get care that they otherwise couldn't get. 20:39 And so that's, it's very rewarding. 20:42 And so it's something tangible that you can see. 20:44 And I believe it's pretty efficient financially. 20:47 In other words, for an amount of money, 20:49 some organizations, 20:51 I don't know what Canvasback number is there, 20:52 they actually have a number of dollars per eye 20:55 that sees better. 20:56 And this is a calculation that can be done, 20:59 but it's something that that just goes to show 21:02 how your dollars can get a tangible result, 21:07 and help to, 21:09 help people to see kind of the love of Christ 21:14 in action you know, 21:15 and I think that's a neat thing. 21:17 As a leader in the field of health in Micronesia, 21:21 Canvasback Missions 21:22 has been helping people reverse diabetes for years. 21:26 Yes, you heard correctly, reverse diabetes. 21:30 In addition, 21:31 we are helping to reduce the incident of heart disease. 21:35 At least 34 million people in the US have diabetes. 21:39 Many have no idea they have it until it's almost too late. 21:43 Many children have diabetes. 21:45 It's time to stop it in its tracks. 21:48 What's the key? 21:49 Certain foods, 21:50 exercise and many other simple yet critical items 21:54 are combined to produce amazing results. 21:57 Log on to canvasback.org 21:59 to download your own free copy, 22:01 written by renowned author, Brenda Davis. 22:04 Learn from an expert in the field 22:06 how to reverse this dreaded killer. 22:08 Remember, it's completely free. 22:10 Download a copy today 22:12 for yourself, friend or a loved one. 22:14 It will be life changing. 22:26 Wow, it is, it is raining out there. 22:29 I can't hardly believe the amount of rain, 22:31 hopefully it quits pretty soon. 22:33 But I really came to, 22:35 you know, check out the waterfall 22:37 to look at the area. 22:38 And as I look at all this, 22:40 I can't help but think about Jesus Christ. 22:42 Jesus said, 22:44 "You know, I am the living water." 22:46 He and the disciples arrived on a desert place. 22:48 I know right now it's a little hard 22:50 to think about a desert place 22:51 with all of this water but there He was, 22:54 they put in a hard day 22:56 worth of labor already by lunchtime. 22:59 Disciples went someplace to find lunch. 23:02 Jesus lingered around this town of Samaria. 23:05 Now, the Jews, 23:07 they didn't really care for the Samaritans. 23:09 They didn't talk, they didn't communicate. 23:11 But Jesus found Himself at a well, 23:14 this woman came out of the village, 23:15 she stopped, 23:17 she dropped her bucket into the well. 23:18 And Jesus said, "Would you give me a drink?" 23:21 Well, this was extremely strange 23:23 because no Jew would ever talk to a Samaritan 23:27 and let alone a woman. 23:28 She said, "Sir, you're asking me for a drink?" 23:32 And Jesus then said to her, 23:34 "You know, if you really knew who I was, 23:37 I would offer you living water." 23:40 And then she said, in this communication, 23:43 the Holy Spirit's working in her heart, in her life. 23:45 And she said, "Sir, yes, I would like that water. 23:49 I would really like that water." 23:51 And, of course, as the story continues, 23:53 this lady had had many husbands, many. 23:56 She was pretty much a lady of the town as it were. 24:00 Her entire life was immediately changed. 24:02 And that's what happens 24:04 when that living water flows into you. 24:07 There's a text, you know, I carry my Bible with me a lot. 24:10 I wanted to share this with you. 24:12 John Chapter 7, beginning in verse 37. 24:16 "Jesus was there at the temple now 24:18 and they're having their ceremonies, 24:19 and Jesus stood and He cried, saying, 24:21 'If any man or any woman, any person, 24:25 first, let him come to Me and drink." 24:29 Jesus was offering Himself as the living water, 24:32 the one who would change each and every person. 24:35 "He that believes in Me," 24:37 He says in verse 38, 24:39 as the scripture said, 24:41 "out of his belly show flow rivers of living water." 24:45 What does that mean, living water? 24:47 It means when we accept Jesus Christ in our lives, 24:51 God flows out of our lives. 24:53 I was at the Dead Sea one time and there at that Dead Sea, 24:56 everything's dead 24:58 because everything flows in but nothing flows out. 25:01 You see we've got to have, when Jesus comes in our lives, 25:04 we've got to have that water flow out too, 25:06 we've got to share with others, we've got to go and share. 25:09 Yeah, that's what a lot of the team 25:11 is doing here is sharing. 25:13 One more text I want to close with. 25:16 And this particular thought 25:17 is found in Revelation in Chapter 22. 25:21 "And the Spirit says, 25:22 'Come, let him that is first or thirsty, 25:26 come. 25:27 And whosoever will let him take of the water of life freely." 25:33 There is no price. 25:34 There is no charge for this. 25:37 It's simply opening your heart. 25:38 It's simply surrendering himself. 25:41 One of my favorite authors said, 25:43 "We don't even know how to pray, 25:44 but we can pray this prayer. 25:46 Please, Lord, take my life, take my heart, 25:49 I can't give it." 25:51 But what it's doing is giving God permission 25:54 to begin taking control of our lives 25:57 that we might begin walking with Him. 26:00 And, my friends, when we walk with Him, 26:02 we will stand with Him 26:03 for eternity on that crystal sea 26:05 that had beautiful river. 26:08 You know, the Bible also records 26:10 that there's a river of life 26:11 that flows out of the throne of God. 26:14 I want to be there. 26:15 I'd like to invite you too to be there with me. 26:18 Partake of that beautiful river flowing from Jesus Christ. 26:27 Our Canvasback volunteers are bringing hope 26:30 to those who have no hope. 26:32 They are providing healing to those who are in need. 26:36 Every volunteer takes time from their busy schedules 26:39 to help others for no pay at all. 26:42 That's right. 26:43 Our help is virtually free of charge. 26:46 Surgeries that could cost thousands of dollars 26:49 are performed for no pay. 26:51 We do it because we love to see the smile on a person 26:55 who was once blind and can now see. 26:59 As the Bible says, "The blind see, the lame walk, 27:04 the deaf hear." 27:05 I have the wonderful opportunity 27:07 to see God's miracles of healing on a regular basis. 27:11 If you would like to join us 27:13 in bringing healing to those less fortunate, 27:16 please partner with us. 27:18 I guarantee you that you will be changing lives. 27:21 Thank you in advance. 27:25 To be a part of this exciting ministry, 27:26 write us at Canvasback Missions 27:28 940 Adam Street Suite R, 27:31 Benicia, California 94510. 27:34 You can also log on to canvasback.org 27:37 or call us at 707-746-7828. 27:42 Thank you for watching. 27:43 Please join us again 27:44 for another exciting island adventure. 27:46 Remember, 27:47 Canvasback is making an impact on hearts and lives, 27:50 one miracle at a time. |
