Louis, Ingle, California 03:17 and where are you located? 03:19 We're located in Gainesville, Florida 03:21 approximately 22 or so miles from the Campground 03:24 for Southeastern Conference. 03:26 That is wonderful, so you have two buildings 03:29 that have been donated for this work. 03:33 Yes. Look at God. 03:35 God is good isn't He? Look at God. 03:37 I say the same thing. 03:38 And look at how the Lord has structured this. 03:42 First, you meet people at their place of need 03:45 people don't want to hear about the 2300 days 03:48 if their stomachs are touching their backs, right? 03:51 They're hungry, so you feed them that's what Jesus did, 03:54 Yes. you feed them, 03:56 and then you give them spiritual mentoring. 03:58 Absolutely, and what's really critical is that 04:00 it's an Organization run by women 04:02 Adventist women, the Board is fully Adventist 04:04 the speakers are all Adventists, 04:06 everyone is Adventist 04:07 and we're leading out in the Community 04:09 not only do we have the two duplexes 04:11 but we're getting another Community Service Building 04:12 on the other side of town 04:14 to provide and duplicate that building, 04:15 their services That's interesting... 04:18 So now, what do each of you do there 04:20 what's your position there? 04:21 My position there is 04:22 the President of Women Working With Women 04:25 I establish connections with the City. 04:27 The one important thing that I do is 04:29 I connect with the Community, 04:31 I get involved with the Community 04:32 I get on Boards in the Community 04:34 that allow me to again be offered a free building 04:37 getting involved with the Community lets me know 04:39 exactly what the policies are in the city 04:41 and what their need is 04:42 and as Christians, that's our goal 04:44 it's to take care of that need like Jesus did 04:46 and then feed them, 04:48 and then give them the love of Christ. 04:49 Incredible, incredible, what do you do Purette? 04:54 My background is in Education, this is my 41st year teaching 04:58 and being in Administration 05:00 so we are trying to move children and adults, 05:04 the parents, the mothers, out of one city lifestyle 05:08 to a better lifestyle from the inner city 05:11 to maybe getting a job and getting off of the System 05:15 so we educate them professionally 05:17 there is a Certification Program we have 05:19 so that the women are trained how to dress for success 05:22 for which we provide clothes, after we provide the food, 05:25 new clothes, 05:26 and we teach them how to write a resume 05:29 we try our best to get them involved 05:32 in Interviewing Practices 05:34 so that their skills are sharp when they're ready 05:36 there are so many professional courses that they can take 05:39 through the Certification Program 05:41 and we have volunteers and people 05:42 from the University of Florida 05:44 that come in to help us train them. 05:46 Now, when they finish their Certification Program 05:49 there's a full Graduation Service 05:51 they are placed in a job 05:54 upon finishing the Certification Program 05:57 so the educational piece is very, very important 05:59 I also am involved in Children's Ministries 06:02 but our Children's Ministries and our Women's Ministries 06:05 are another arm of Women's Ministries in the church, 06:08 we go out into the Community and we do serve the church 06:11 but as the Vice President, 06:13 my job centers around making sure 06:16 we meet the needs of parents and parents' children. 06:19 I do Parenting Seminars, 06:22 I'll do seminars that deal with 06:24 moving children in a different direction 06:26 who have been in special discipline situations, 06:30 I partner with my mother with the Singles Ministry 06:34 that she will tell you about 06:36 but our main thing with the parents 06:38 is to let them know that they're not alone 06:40 and to help them to know that they can move in a new direction 06:44 so covering all the bases with parents and children 06:48 is something that I totally, totally focus on. 06:51 Isn't it... it's so true that people can get stuck 06:55 they feel like, "I have no options, 06:58 I don't have any other... what can I do?" 07:01 You... this is so incredible, you are offering them training 07:05 so that they can be self-sufficient 07:07 Absolutely. 07:08 so that you're not just giving them clothing, 07:12 you're giving them clothing, 07:14 you're giving them food but you're training them 07:17 so that they can provide for themselves and their children 07:21 that is amazing, 07:23 and Certification... so that they can feel accomplished 07:26 I mean, that's an amazing thing that you do 07:30 I'm loving this. 07:32 What about you Sister Maxine? 07:33 I am a Bible Instructor, and I do what I can 07:38 to help those to know more about Christ 07:41 and I Counsel, I'm a Marriage Counselor, 07:44 and I love going in and out of 07:47 the doors of the prisons and the jails. 07:49 So you get women that are coming out from jail 07:55 and you bring them into this Program 07:59 and help them to get self-sufficient, 08:02 you know I'm loving this. 08:03 So we get the aspects of so many besides the Education, 08:06 and working with women in the Community, 08:08 we go behind bars, 08:10 because that's where women are, behind bars, 08:12 we deal with women behind bars on a weekly basis 08:15 and those women that come out of the jails 08:18 and the prisoners that need a new step in life 08:21 and they come out with low self-esteem, 08:23 well, we go in to build up their self-esteem 08:25 we go in and with seminars 08:27 from our Conferences, 08:28 from what we get through our own women 08:30 we provide them with Self-Esteem Workshops, 08:32 how to deal with difficult people, 08:35 things that they need 08:37 so that when they come out of the jail, 08:38 and go through our Program 08:39 they go to a job with a certification 08:41 whether it's in Customer Service, 08:43 whether it's in Computer, 08:45 but we give them something tangible 08:47 so that they can feel good about themselves 08:50 and also, being added value to the Community. 08:53 We have... I already have been working about 08:56 60 years in the business 08:57 from Sing Sing... all the way down, 09:00 and I have seen the miracles of God 09:02 we've gotten them off of Death Row 09:04 and put them in the Pulpit. 09:05 Come on now, tell us about one of them, 09:08 tell us Sister Maxine, come on now, 09:10 oh, we're getting ready to have some Church in here now. 09:13 Yes, I've seen mothers come out of jail 09:15 and actually go get their mother and bring their children 09:18 as they're being dismissed out of jail 09:20 nothing but joy to see how God works behind bars. 09:24 Yes, yes. It's a miracle. 09:26 And people on Death Row, Yes. 09:29 and people who would never have known about Jesus otherwise. 09:33 That's right, because they can't pay for their lawyers 09:36 they don't have funds and need somebody 09:39 but we started teaching this one man 09:41 he really fell in love with Jesus 09:44 and became a teacher himself, 09:46 then the authorities looked into his case 09:50 because he did not kill his wife it was self-defense, 09:55 but he couldn't prove it, 09:56 so God made a preacher out of him 09:59 now he's preaching in New York City right now 10:01 Elder Salvridge. 10:02 So he got released from prison, 10:04 because they found out he really didn't do it. 10:07 Yes, a lot of men are innocent, 10:09 they can't prove themselves because they have no money. 10:12 Can't prove themselves. 10:14 Praise God. 10:15 What I like most about the Program that we run right now 10:18 is our food giveaways, and clothes giveaways, 10:24 we just had a grand opening 10:26 of the new building she talked about 10:27 with Maxine's place, 10:29 and we had food displayed on tables 10:34 sacks and sacks of food, where people could come and get 10:37 whatever they would need, 10:39 what they do first in Gainesville, 10:41 because I'm in Alabama, 10:42 they go out 10:44 before such a big event, 10:45 it's called Community Service Day 10:47 and other churches join us and come in 10:49 and become a part... but what's so exciting about it 10:52 is that they have already surveyed the land, 10:55 people had to register and let us know they live 10:57 in the Community, and we would knock on doors, 11:00 get all the information we need about their physical needs, 11:03 their emotional needs, their social needs, 11:05 and their spiritual needs, 11:07 and they check what they need help with 11:09 and once they check spiritual needs, 11:11 the Bible Instructor, now has permission to come in 11:15 and give them Bible Studies, 11:17 how many people do you have Mom, now working with Bible Studies? 11:20 Our first Community Service Day, 11:22 I believe it was 49 families that checked 11:24 "I want Bible Studies" 11:25 this particular day we have over 70 or so families 11:31 that check Bible Studies, so you do the math 11:33 and this is the blessing, God is so good and so smart 11:38 He's using this ministry indirectly 11:42 to minister the Bible Studies to the local church 11:45 which now, we give those ministries to 11:48 because it's either, 11:49 you can pick a Pentecostal Church 11:51 or Catholic Church, whatever Church you want, 11:53 but God has blessed us to be able to 11:55 use the Community, 11:56 to assign Bethel Seventh-day Adventist Church 11:59 the church in Gainesville, Florida, 12:01 to provide all these Bible Studies. 12:03 Oh, I'm loving it. 12:05 So, that's how great and smart God is 12:06 you never would have thought of that 12:07 but He's directing the church always, 12:09 He gets the glory. Amen. 12:11 The best thing is going out and finding the lost sheep 12:14 those who were once in the church and strayed away 12:17 and to find out who we are. 12:19 There are many Ex-Seventh-day Adventists 12:21 they come and help, many... 12:22 Look at how God has brought you to this place 12:27 at this time to do this work 12:29 Yes. I want to come back to 12:31 Women Working With Women 12:33 but I want our Viewers to know a bit more 12:36 about your journeys 12:37 because, why would this interest you, 12:40 why did you get involved with this in the first place. 12:43 Well, for one reason, when I moved to Florida 12:47 approximately 13 years ago, almost 14 years ago, 12:50 I met a women in Southeastern Conference 12:54 named Nicole Brise, 12:55 she actually had joined her team of women 12:58 and she assigned me 13:01 to 22 churches in District One, Gainesville, Florida, 13:05 I got involved with Women's ministry 13:07 through Southeastern Conference, 13:08 that's where God said now, 13:10 "I've only taught you what to do, 13:11 now, I'm putting you where I want you to see, 13:14 this is where you need to go" 13:15 so I've been doing motivational speaking 13:19 and I've been doing seminars for instinctual disease, 13:22 for dialysis, for 23 years, 13:24 and then when I came to Florida God gave me all the tools there 13:27 to come here and now do the seminars and conferences 13:30 for His glory, 13:31 so when I met Sister Brise, 13:33 she mentored me, and literally molded me into 13:36 this passion for women's ministries, 13:38 and I have to thank Her for that 13:41 because of her, that's how I got involved with 13:43 Women's ministry, but the other things I found out 13:45 is that most of the women were just like me 13:47 they were raised in Seventh-day Adventist families 13:49 and in their struggle, they went away on the side 13:52 like me, I started out, 13:54 grew up in a Seventh-day Adventist family 13:55 but when I got on my own and started working on my own, 13:58 I got involved with individuals that were not Adventists 14:01 so what happened to me was that 14:03 I ended up having drinks at the bar 14:06 with Corporate America, 14:07 trying to stay in that Ivy League 14:08 I'm making good money so I got to hold up the plate 14:12 so I am having drinks with friends, 14:15 "I don't drink, I'm an Adventist" yeah you do, 14:17 and then you're impressing, you have peer pressure 14:20 you don't want to seem like you're different 14:23 than other people, so we begin to make bad choices 14:26 but this is the blessing of God, 14:28 when you're raising a family 14:29 like God has raised us and our family, 14:31 He said that He will never depart, He doesn't lie, 14:34 we may go through the struggle as I did 14:36 drinking alcohol, doing drugs, 14:38 having sex before marriage, 14:40 what God is doing is, He's showing us, 14:43 no matter how we stray 14:45 it is instilled in us and we will not depart, 14:48 there was going to come a point and my point was 14:50 "Gainesville Florida" 14:51 that point came there 14:53 when you either choose Christ or you choose the devil 14:56 there are only two options 14:58 and of course, 14:59 when you're born and raised in a Christian family, 15:01 you're going to always end up choosing Christ 15:03 and this is the indirect result 15:05 so when I go to women behind bars 15:07 who've had sex before marriage, 15:08 who drank, who smoked cigarettes like I did 15:13 who drank alcohol, 15:14 who did all the things that I did 15:15 before coming back to Christ 40 years later, 15:17 I can relate to them, 15:19 I know you can do it because I've done it. 15:21 see the one thing about powerful ministry 15:23 is sin and your testimonies, it's not for you 15:26 Come on... it's for them... 15:27 that's right, that's right. 15:29 and that's why I'm in the ministry for, 15:30 because they begin to see that you can come from that 15:32 and you can do this. Yes. 15:34 And so it's all about serving other people 15:36 and glorifying God in the midst of it. 15:39 Amen, the bad choices that we've made 15:42 and we've all made bad choices and we've all made bad decisions 15:45 but those bad choices can be 15:47 turned into something that can give God glory. 15:50 I'm glad you said that 15:52 because the whole point of our ministry 15:55 especially the prison ministry 15:57 is that I had a very good friend named Binkey Hodges 16:00 who I spoke with many times before she passed away 16:03 but one of the blessings of having relationships 16:05 with Adventist sisters as we grow up is 16:08 we can always connect, no matter how far we go 16:10 when we see each other... it's like yesterday 16:12 Yes. 16:13 and she was telling me about her ministry 16:15 and she really empowered me and said, 16:18 "Why aren't you doing it?" 16:20 I'm going to start my ministry 16:21 and you might as well implement the prison ministry 16:24 but because of Binkey and because of her influence 16:26 and how God just flipped her life 16:29 into something fantastic, 16:31 and I'm trying to stay at my seat. 16:33 Come on, I know, I know, I know, 16:35 because I want our Viewers to know 16:36 that Binkey was my sister, 16:38 that was my sister that I've talked about before 16:41 on Dare to Dream that had gone away from the Lord 16:44 and came back and so I'm just so... 16:47 Binkey's turnaround was a miracle 16:50 what He has done for Binkey and for me 16:53 He can do for you, I know that He can 16:56 because I've seen it, and God is so powerful 16:59 and we are so quick to think we're not worthy 17:02 oh my Lord! 17:03 Well, that's what the enemy wants us to think 17:05 because if we think that we're not worthy 17:07 we won't come before God because we feel like we can't 17:10 but God invites us, "Come let us reason together 17:14 Come to me, I will in no wise cast you out" 17:18 Absolutely, absolutely. 17:19 so there's nothing... there's nothing that you've done 17:22 that's too bad for God, 17:24 there's no distance that you have forged away from Him 17:28 that is too great for Him, God is omnipotent 17:31 and He wants you, He invites you to come to Him. 17:35 Sister Maxine. Yes, that's the relationship 17:37 you must have with Him 17:39 once you get a relationship and fall in love with Jesus, 17:42 "people" become your business we have no choice in that. 17:46 That's true, you know, if we hear about a good sale, 17:49 we're going to call somebody up and say, 17:51 "Girl, I got this top over at wherever for whatever" 17:57 how much more 17:59 the great, loving God of the universe 18:02 He loves us, in spite of us, 18:05 how much more should we be telling people about Him? 18:09 And that's why it's important to have women working with women 18:12 out there because we all can't do it alone 18:16 we have to have a Center, 18:18 and that's why I thank Women's Ministry 18:20 because, our Women's Ministry, we're taking the information 18:22 that we get from our General Conference Women's Ministry 18:25 and our local regional Women's Ministry 18:27 and we are applying it, we're doing it 18:29 we're living it and we're showing you 18:31 that you too can take the ministry that God gave you 18:34 rightfully gave you and ordained you to do, 18:36 and take it and make your ministry 18:38 and make a difference in your Community, 18:40 don't just wait for your retreat 18:42 start working in the Community 18:44 and the Lord will do the rest that's what I can share. 18:47 Amen and amen, and you know, when you're doing 18:49 what God has ordained you to do 18:51 when you're walking in your divine destiny 18:54 there is nothing better than that 18:55 because you know, I was created to do this. 18:59 Amen, amen. That's right. 19:01 Right? Oh I have a chill 19:02 this gives me a chill, the Holy Spirit, thank you God. 19:05 This is her passion, 19:07 this is her passion and she pulled us into her passion 19:10 my mother's passion was to have a food pantry 19:13 and a clothes closet 19:14 and to do prison ministry for the rest of her life, 19:17 she quit working and retired early just to do that 19:20 tied into her ministry my passion has always been 19:22 children... children's ministry 19:24 and working with Ministers' wives 19:27 that's another branch of the business 19:30 that we love doing when she has a conference, 19:32 or whether it's in the church or if it's for First-Day Churches 19:36 we've had Conferences and we invite 19:37 the First-Day Churches to come, 19:39 she has a section, separate, just for women 19:42 who are ministers' wives that need direction 19:46 or need a Company to come together 19:48 where they can feel comfortable with 19:50 and it's totally separate from the Women's Conference 19:54 it's a Ministers' Wives Conference at the same time. 19:58 So, you work for the First Ladies 19:59 because who can they talk to. 20:01 Not only First Ladies of the Adventist Church 20:04 this is where we turn the corner because we go to 20:07 other denominational churches, 20:09 preaching the gospel with our message, 20:11 every Speaker is a Seventh-day Adventist, 20:13 if you want me and I've been asked in our City 20:16 to do a Women's Day Program, 20:17 absolutely, I'll be happy to do it 20:19 but I'm going to have a Keynote Speaker 20:21 it's going to be an Adventist. 20:22 Why? because that's our creative way 20:24 of getting the gospel out. Absolutely. 20:26 All of our seminars come out of the GC Website 20:29 we're giving our material to other denominations 20:31 because it's not our will to change them 20:33 God will do that, 20:35 we're just planting the seed with the Women's Day Program 20:37 we're planting a seed with "End It Now," 20:39 we're planting a see with "Prevention and Abuse," 20:41 we're planting the seed 20:43 for these non-Denominational Churches 20:44 so that's another branch that we do, 20:46 we promote it in every church for all women... franchise. 20:50 That is incredible, praise God, so how many arms 20:55 of Women Working With Women do you have, 20:57 like... what are all the departments 20:59 because it sounds like you're doing Women's Day, 21:01 you're certifying, you're feeding, 21:03 you're giving Bible Studies 21:05 I mean, this is like... wooo... we love it. 21:07 Yes, it is the sweetness of it all, are you ready? 21:09 You haven't told her all the major projects. 21:10 Okay, come on, tell me. 21:12 I'm sitting in my office 21:14 and seven women are calling for me outside to meet me, 21:18 I have no appointment with them 21:20 they're Chinese, they're from Philippines, 21:21 they're White, they're Spanish, 21:23 they're different cultural group of students 21:25 and they came to my office 21:27 while I'd just got done doing my worship at my desk, 21:29 asking the Lord, "This is my third year Father, 21:32 no salary, help me Lord... " 21:33 this is my fourth year with no salary as of yet 21:36 God is working at it, 21:37 these students come to the office 21:39 they ask for me, I go out there, 21:41 I said, "Yes, may I help you, my name is Belinda Smith" 21:43 "Hi, we are the Enactors Group from the University of Florida 21:46 our Director asked us to come to you 21:47 because we have several grants that we'd like to give you 21:49 if you'd let us partner with you and do all of your marketing. " 21:52 Who does that? It happened after worship. 21:55 Wait, wait, wait, oh come on now, 21:57 I can't control myself. 21:59 I know, let it go, let it go, let it go, 22:02 so, they came to you, Yes. 22:07 saying they said they want to partner with you. 22:08 They couldn't even remember, 22:10 "Someone told us about your Organization 22:12 and we want to give you our grants to market your... " 22:15 what you see today is done by the University of Florida, 22:19 banners, these shirts, the hats, the pants, the shoes 22:23 the University of Florida saw the vision 22:27 in this Adventist Organization and they invested in us 22:32 and so, because they invested, 22:34 they partnered with us, 22:35 the University of Florida in Gainesville 22:37 and they made a certification program called, 22:39 "Personal and Professional Development" 22:41 of my Organization that we give to the Community 22:44 and they paid the tuition 22:46 for the first several amount of students. 22:48 We do appreciate donations, this group started it, 22:51 our banners, our business cards, our marketing, our website, 22:55 our marketing logo, everything, 22:56 even the logo they designed, 22:58 they hired a company to design it 23:01 what's really, really amazing to me 23:03 is that, everything we need comes right when we need it, 23:06 not ahead of time, That's right. 23:07 you know, we get donations from everywhere, 23:11 Landers McLarty Dealership gave us a huge van 23:14 luxury van to drive here, 23:16 a Town and Country Van to drive here 23:19 and they said, "How long do you need it, 23:21 how long would you like to have it?" 23:23 and whenever we have to travel, they're there for us. 23:26 The Company that gives us our shirts, 23:29 he donates... oh we have hats, he donates these magnets 23:32 just so that we can have what we need 23:34 for whatever we're trying to do 23:36 you know, it's strange that a lot of times 23:38 others believe in our ministry, 23:40 sometimes more than our family you know and even our churches 23:44 and we get more response out in the Community 23:46 but to me it's whatever God allows 23:50 to feed into that ministry, we accept. 23:53 When Jesus says, "Go" you just go, 23:55 you don't question Him. Absolutely. 23:58 Danny's latest book is, "The Blessing is on the Go" 24:02 Faith, that's right. 24:03 You got to get it, right around there. 24:06 "The Blessing is on the Go," 24:07 because it's all about stepping out 24:11 in faith and believing that God's going to provide 24:14 every level of your need, every level. 24:17 This is totally faith based, four years... no salary... 24:22 of course I can stop, 24:24 of course I can go back to Corporate America 24:26 I don't have to have that $79,000 a year, 24:28 I got real comfortable with my 401K, trust me, 24:31 it was a difficult choice to make 24:33 but when I made it, 24:35 I haven't needed a cent since then 24:37 everything He has supplied, 24:39 Listen, I'm in an office with the staff 24:41 out of Santa Fe College 24:42 why? because God put someone in my path 24:45 I was eating lunch next to the President of this Organization 24:47 it turned out that he said, 24:49 "Come to my office tomorrow, let me see what we can do" 24:50 Just so you know, I'm in a building, 24:53 I have a staff, I have an office, 24:55 give it to Jesus, 24:56 step out on faith and He will... 24:58 You have a staff and an office. and I don't pay... 25:00 and that you're not paying... come on now, 25:03 Jesus...
