00:01 I'm here with a lot of clams on one of the islands
00:04 just on a way from Nan Madol. 00:07 You think about a clam and pearls, 00:10 it gets a teeny single grain of sand inside somehow, 00:15 it begins an irritation process and that clam excretes 00:20 and forms, wrapping 00:22 around that sand seed as it were, 00:26 and it grows and grows 00:28 until it produces a gorgeous and beautiful pearl. 00:30 Today, we're going to look at some irritation. 00:34 And we're going to look at 00:35 what happened in some beautiful pearls. 00:36 Stay tuned. 00:59 You know, when Jesus came to this earth, 01:00 He came with a specific purpose of calling us back to Himself. 01:04 We've wandered far away 01:06 and His every act was designed to draw us closer. 01:09 Much of his time was spent 01:10 in relieving suffering and pain. 01:12 He's called us to do the same, 01:14 hence the mission of Canvasback 01:16 to be the healing hands to a suffering world. 01:31 Tell me what you think 01:32 of what Canvasback is doing here at the hospital, 01:36 the team that comes to? 01:37 Oh, fantastic. 01:38 I wish they could be here for six months. 01:42 If it's beyond six months, 01:44 then they would not have patients here. 01:45 Okay, but there's six months worth of patients? 01:47 Yeah. 01:48 I think so, 01:50 just they need to go through the process of exam. 01:53 And some of them may not need, 01:55 but there's a lot of them that need that to have that... 02:04 We think you are, could you direct? 02:07 Would you hold that for me? 02:08 See how it's doing today? 02:11 Umm, 02:12 T Z C O 02:17 L D P O F. 02:20 P T O C E T. 02:27 So, Mara, do you understand the language now 02:29 that you've been here? 02:31 I don't. I don't. 02:34 I really need to work on it a little bit, though. 02:36 I know. 02:38 I can tell when they say good. 02:40 I know one thing that you understand 02:42 the language of love and so do they. 02:43 Yeah, there's, 02:45 I think a lot is expressed through body language 02:47 when we don't have that communication. 02:52 You can still just smile 02:55 and make them feel comfortable 02:57 without really understanding their language at all. 03:05 And, Mara, you're here at Canvasback Mission. 03:08 Why are you here? 03:09 I... 03:11 Volunteerism as an important role 03:13 in what I do personally and as well as with our clinic. 03:16 So... 03:17 And what's your expertise? 03:18 All right, so ophthalmic techs at our clinic, 03:21 we work with patients, 03:23 we kind of triage what the needs might be, 03:25 and then move forward 03:26 and communicate it to the doctor. 03:29 How many years have you worked at your clinic? 03:30 Almost five. 03:32 Five years? So you got five years of experience. 03:34 And I assume you get a little vacation 03:36 from your clinic. 03:38 But I've also got a feeling 03:40 you spend that vacation time here. 03:43 Doing other volunteer events. 03:44 This is my first time in Pohnpei, so that's exciting. 03:48 Why on earth do you spend vacation time volunteering, 03:51 doing more of the things that you do at home? 03:55 There's just a... 03:56 In our house, there's a saying that hope anchors the soul. 03:59 And I think when we volunteer, 04:00 we provide hope to other people. 04:02 And doing that is really important. 04:05 So it's something that I get fulfillment from, 04:09 and I'm starting to pass it on to my kids. 04:11 My kids have been joining me on some of the events 04:13 and it's really even better to see as a parent 04:17 when your children become that same person 04:19 and giving back 04:20 and finding the joy out of doing so. 04:23 Now your children enjoying not, not overseas. 04:25 Not overseas. 04:27 I want it, I would bring them. 04:29 This was my first time going overseas. 04:30 So I wanted to try first 04:32 and then there's potential 04:34 I would love to have them do it. 04:35 And what do you think of this experience now 04:37 that you're here? 04:38 It's amazing. 04:39 I am full of gratitude for the opportunity 04:42 that people are very patient with us 04:44 as we learn our quirks 04:45 and trying to work out our kinks. 04:47 And they're very grateful 04:48 for the services they're getting. 04:50 So it makes it even more rewarding. 04:52 I know there's no way that we can possibly capture 04:55 all the people and the lives that have been changed, 04:58 but what are some of the moments 05:01 that you've peeled back those bandages, 05:03 and you've had some really cool experiences. 05:05 There have been, 05:06 we have a patient 05:08 who is actually a retina patient. 05:09 So the anticipation after cataract surgery 05:10 wasn't to improve his vision, 05:12 it was actually to improve our view 05:14 to correct his retina. 05:16 But yesterday, when we took this tape off, 05:18 we took it off and he said, 05:20 "That's what I'm talking about." 05:21 And those are the moments that you get that, 05:24 okay, this is really why I'm here. 05:26 Or there was a gentleman yesterday, 05:28 we took the tape off, and they're very reserved here. 05:31 So they don't show emotion. 05:32 But he became very welled up, 05:34 and had tears in his eyes 05:35 and said, "It's good. 05:37 It's good." 05:38 And so those are the moments that should go, 05:40 this is why I'm here. 05:41 Even if it's just a handful, they're worth it. 05:44 There's other people 05:45 maybe today that are kind of thinking about, 05:47 maybe, you know, I'd like to go sometime, 05:49 what would you tell those people 05:50 if they're hesitating? 05:51 I would say don't hesitate, participate. 05:54 I think that we all have the time to volunteer 05:56 if we make it 05:57 and it's something that you cannot monetarily ever 06:03 put a value on. 06:04 So you truly see Canvasback making an impact on lives? 06:07 Huge. I think it's an amazing. 06:10 Jacque has a program 06:12 that is unlike any other I've seen, 06:15 and I participate in quite a few. 06:17 In the US, it's a little different. 06:19 But she has it down to a science 06:21 and it's an amazing program. 06:23 The things are very well thought out, 06:26 they're very much return on investment 06:28 is beyond measure with the monetary value. 06:31 Now you say the ROI, return on investment. 06:36 Here it's free, 06:38 that the clinic basically 06:39 of what Canvasback is doing is free. 06:41 Correct. 06:42 But I understand that all of it, 06:45 if you took a doctor back in the United States 06:47 and did some of these procedures, 06:48 it could be $10,000, 06:50 $12,000 by the time in hospital 06:53 and that's just some... 06:54 Yes, I mean, average out of pocket costs 06:56 for cataract surgery 06:58 without post-op 07:00 is upwards of $7, 000 per patient 07:03 for just a standard lens. 07:05 And so that's significant to be able to provide. 07:10 And when we provide that to the people here, 07:12 it comes back to the community, 07:14 you have someone who has been able 07:15 to be a contributing member of the community 07:18 who's able to do those things 07:19 and work and be able to help care 07:21 for potentially grandchildren so their children can work. 07:24 There's a whole bigger picture that is part of that process. 07:29 So it's nice to see that. 07:31 I heard one story. 07:33 I think it was a previous clinic 07:35 not long ago with a fellow came in. 07:37 He said, "I can't fish anymore. 07:39 I can't do anything for myself anymore. 07:41 I can't go swimming." 07:42 This happened to be an ear, he had an ear situation. 07:46 Doctors took care of him, 07:48 and he just, he was so overjoyed, 07:50 said, "I can fish again, 07:51 I can swim, I can stand out in the rain." 07:54 He said, "It's like stand out in the rain." 07:56 We never think of something like that. 07:57 But these people, 07:59 there's so many ways 08:00 that Canvasback does impact their life. 08:01 It's huge. 08:03 And many patients are hand motion in both eyes. 08:05 So they're walking around the world 08:06 literally watching shadows. 08:08 And they have to have help, 08:10 they cannot go to the store themselves. 08:12 They can't see what they're purchasing, 08:13 they can't get their own food, 08:14 they can't prep their own meals. 08:16 There's a lot that comes with your vision 08:17 that we take for granted 08:19 without looking at situations like these. 08:21 And I think that's the biggest part. 08:24 So now it frees up not only them 08:25 but a family member, 08:27 at least one family member too, be more productive and learn. 08:30 Well, you're going to do this again? 08:33 Absolutely. 08:34 Why? 08:36 I think being able to help people in this way 08:40 is something that you just, 08:42 you have to experience to understand it. 08:45 And the amount of personal fulfillment 08:47 I get from volunteering 08:49 is something that I can't get doing anything else. 08:53 So, and I do, 08:54 I love my job just as much as I love volunteering, 08:57 because I'm fortunate enough to get paid 09:00 to do something I love. 09:01 But giving back is a really important thing. 09:04 We talked a moment ago 09:05 about the ROI receiving on investment, 09:08 the investment by the donors. 09:12 It's multiplied, right, as we talked about. 09:14 If you wouldn't mind, 09:16 talk with our donors for a moment 09:17 or someone who may be considering 09:19 giving to Canvasback, 09:20 why should they do it? 09:22 I think that when you invest in a person, 09:25 the investment you get back 09:27 in the form of a community is priceless. 09:31 There's no dollar amount you can put on that. 09:33 And if something as simple as a $10 donation, 09:36 I mean, that's two cups of coffee for us. 09:38 But you can provide someone 09:40 the ability to have an entire life of freedom. 09:44 Again, 09:45 that's a pretty big return on investment. 09:47 So Jacque's program is amazing. 09:50 Canvasback has been amazing so... 09:52 I know you've got to go, 09:54 you've got a stack of patients and you've got to finish lunch. 09:56 Stack of charts. 09:58 But tell me, is there any last thing 09:59 you'd like to share? 10:01 I think that this is my first overseas volunteer program. 10:05 Hopefully not my last, 10:07 I would definitely participate again. 10:09 It's well run. 10:11 It's well received. 10:12 And it's well tuned. 10:14 And I think that it's a, it's a very important, 10:17 impactful program that's much needed. 10:21 Mara, thank you so much for joining us. 10:23 I know you've busy schedule, and you got to go. 10:24 But thanks again. 10:25 Yes, thank you. 10:27 All right. 10:33 The Super Teams are making an impact 10:35 on hearts and lives, 10:36 a miracle at a time, but there's more, 10:38 so stay tuned. 10:42 According to the World Health Organization, 10:45 depression is the leading cause of worldwide disability 10:49 that happens to a lot of people. 10:51 Are you depressed? 10:52 Have you become discouraged lately? 10:55 The list is endless of things 10:56 that can trigger discouragement, 10:58 despair, or even depression. 11:00 If you are someone you know is experiencing 11:02 one or more of these difficulties, 11:04 we have a great little booklet for you. 11:06 It's written by author 11:07 and international speaker Jim Ayer. 11:10 Overcoming the 3Ds contains timely advice 11:13 set in a lighthearted manner, 11:15 meant to help lift you up and out of your problems. 11:18 Understand, we all have problems, 11:20 trials and troubles, 11:22 but we don't need to focus on them. 11:24 You can obtain your copy right now 11:26 by going to canvasback.org. 11:28 And for a gift of any amount, that's for any gift amount, 11:32 you will receive your copy of Overcoming the 3Ds. 11:36 Get your copy today. 11:41 Riburty was born blind. 11:43 That's right. 11:44 He couldn't see it all. 11:45 The entire family were his caregivers. 11:48 Their lives were completely tied to the needs 11:51 of their little son. 11:53 The doctors at the hospital lacked the experience 11:56 to provide him with surgical help. 11:59 This situation continued for six long years. 12:03 Making less than $100 per month, 12:06 there is no way to ever afford the surgery. 12:10 Even if they could fly off island, 12:13 the surgery in another country could be $12,000. 12:17 It looked like all hope was gone. 12:20 Enter the Canvasback Super Team. 12:22 Riburty was examined and the surgery was performed. 12:26 The day the bandages came off, 12:28 he saw his parents and siblings 12:30 for the very first time. 12:32 He and the family were set free. 12:35 There are more children like Riburty 12:37 who are in desperate need. 12:39 You can change many lives. 12:41 Please give sight to the blind. 12:43 Log on to canvasback.org today 12:46 to give your gift of love. 12:49 I'm here with a lot of clams on one of the islands. 12:52 You know, you think about a clam 12:54 and it's a single grain of sand 12:56 that gets inside begins irritating that clam. 12:59 And they wrap it all up, 13:01 they continually coat that until what? 13:03 It forms a beautiful pearl. 13:05 Today we're going to talk about some pearls, 13:08 the irritation in people's lives 13:09 but you're going to find out 13:11 some amazing beautiful things that happen 13:13 because of the irritation. 13:18 Giant clam, boy, is it ugly on the outside, 13:22 no beauty. 13:24 But I think you know something else, 13:27 this clam gets a single grain of sand inside 13:30 and forms eventually from that 13:33 single grain of sand a beautiful pearl. 13:35 A beautiful pearl inside this. 13:37 Now come with me, I want to show you something. 13:42 I really wanted to show you 13:44 ones that are cleaned up a little bit. 13:45 I actually didn't want to grab the others 13:46 because they've been out on the beach a little bit 13:48 and they're really smelly. 13:50 But I think about it, 13:51 you know, Jesus came down to planet earth, 13:53 this really smelly planet, 13:56 the only place in the cosmos 13:58 where sin and suffering has occurred. 14:01 It actually started way back in heaven, 14:04 God created, well, 14:06 an entire, an entire angelic host. 14:09 And amongst that host was a being Lucifer, 14:12 the light bearer. 14:14 Lucifer stood right next to God. 14:17 In this situation, he began looking in himself. 14:20 I don't know how it occurred, 14:21 but God had created every single being 14:24 with absolute complete and free will. 14:26 That meant he could deviate from God's desired path 14:30 and God's original plan. 14:32 Well, he certainly did deviate, 14:33 because he ended up creating war in all of heaven. 14:36 He fought with his angels against God 14:38 and the angels that stayed with God. 14:41 Now, not all of them 14:43 really even understood what was going on. 14:45 They had never experienced anything like this. 14:47 They'd never experienced sin. 14:49 But here in this situation, 14:50 there's actually a war that breaks up 14:52 whether it was an actual war, or a war of ideas. 14:56 We really won't know until we get there to ask God. 15:00 But the end result is, 15:01 He cast the devil now down here to planet earth. 15:05 He had just created Adam and Eve. 15:08 What a beautiful couple? What a beautiful scene? 15:11 He'd set everything to be absolutely perfect 15:13 and beautiful for them in this gorgeous garden, 15:16 that they might take care of this garden, 15:18 that they might flourish and enjoy everything forever. 15:22 But God says there is one 15:24 that's going to try and tempt you. 15:26 And I've only allowed him to come to this one area, 15:29 this one tree, 15:30 the tree of knowledge of good and evil, 15:32 don't go around it, don't go near it. 15:35 But one day, Eve is wandering around, 15:38 and she's taking care of the garden, 15:39 she wanders away from Adam side. 15:42 And lo and behold, she sees this beautiful tree. 15:46 And in that tree is a serpent 15:48 kind of speaks in a human voice. 15:50 A human voice says eat. 15:52 "What you're doing Eve, darling. 15:54 Hey, check this tree out. 15:57 Why don't you look at the fruit?" 15:58 And she looks at the fruit. She beholds it. 16:00 "Beautiful, it's gorgeous." 16:02 And then, he said, "Go ahead, try it." 16:06 No, no, God says we shouldn't. 16:07 "Oh, God doesn't want you to be like God. 16:10 That's why He doesn't want you to take it 16:12 because you'll certainly be like God." 16:14 You know, just as the clouds have come over our heads, 16:16 it was a dark moment on planet earth. 16:22 So the devil in the form of a serpent 16:24 looks at her and says, 16:26 "Go ahead, try this fruit." 16:27 She said, "No, no, no, " 16:29 she said "God says we shouldn't." 16:30 "Oh, it'll make you like God. 16:32 It'll make you like God and that He doesn't want that. 16:35 Go ahead, try it." 16:36 And she finally, 16:38 you know this is the way sin is by the way. 16:40 You look at it long enough, behold it long enough, 16:43 you will desire it. 16:45 She took of that fruit. She tasted it. 16:47 She felt so exhilarated, so excited. 16:49 Well, this is wonderful. 16:50 She felt like she was ascending to another plane 16:53 just exactly as the devil said. 16:56 She gathered up the fruit, she ran to her husband. 16:59 Her husband knew immediately what she'd done. 17:04 But he decided that he loved the woman 17:06 more than he loved God. 17:08 He partook of the fruit 17:10 because he wanted to suffer the same fate. 17:11 He just knew he could not be separated 17:14 from the one he loved. 17:16 And immediately Jesus came looking for them, 17:18 the Jesus, the pearl, 17:20 the Bible says called Him the pearl of great price. 17:22 Jesus came looking for them, 17:24 "Adam, Eve, where are you?" 17:25 Now He knew where they were, but He wanted them to respond. 17:29 They hid themselves, 17:31 just think they hid themselves 17:32 from the one that created them, 17:33 the one who walked with them 17:35 in the cool of the afternoons in this beautiful garden. 17:39 And they finally came out. "Adam, what have you done?" 17:42 "It was the woman You made, God. 17:44 She's the one who did all this." 17:47 "Eve, what have you done?" 17:48 "It was the serpent You made, God, it's all Your fault." 17:52 See, that's the way it is with sin. 17:53 We create the situation where it's all God's fault. 17:56 The devil's done a very good job 17:58 here on planet earth. 18:00 But soon Jesus tells him the whole story. 18:03 And He says, "One day in the history of man, 18:05 I will come and die for you. 18:07 Because you no longer 18:09 have the power to overcome this evil, 18:11 you no longer have the power to overcome the sin." 18:15 So just as that beautiful pearl that created here, 18:18 in this ugly shell as you were, came down here to planet earth, 18:23 this sin filled earth 18:25 after thousands of years of sin. 18:28 Born in a humble, stable, born to humble parents. 18:31 He didn't come as a king. 18:33 He came as one extremely humble 18:35 as the human race would later look upon Him 18:38 and call Him 18:39 the pearl of great price. 18:41 Jesus Christ the one that walked. 18:43 We just can't say enough about Him, 18:44 The Rose of Sharon, The Bright and Morning Star. 18:46 I mean, everything you can say about Jesus is true, 18:49 it's beautiful. 18:51 Because you see He came to separate you 18:53 and separate me from sin. 18:56 He came to restore us. 18:57 Today, you're going to hear 18:59 some amazing stories of restoration, 19:01 physical restoration. 19:02 That's what Jesus also came to do 19:04 is restore us physically 19:05 because the devil tries to tear us down. 19:08 Once the physical restoration is complete, 19:10 He's ready to restore us spiritually as well. 19:13 Stay tuned for some amazing things 19:15 today that you're going to see. 19:29 Kazumi was about seven years old 19:31 when she experienced ear infections in both ears. 19:35 Her mother took her to the doctors, 19:37 but they couldn't seem to clear up the infections. 19:40 A couple of years past 19:42 and she began to lose some hearing. 19:44 Her family saved up all the money they could 19:47 and took her to another country looking for help. 19:50 But all of the doctor's attempts failed. 19:53 Two more years passed 19:56 and Kazumi had lost most of her hearing. 19:59 Her classmates tried to compensate by talking louder 20:02 or standing in front of her directly, 20:05 so she could read their lips. 20:07 Then at Canvasback ENT Super Team arrived 20:10 and did surgery on both ears. 20:13 Kazumi's hearing was restored. 20:15 For almost four decades, 20:17 Canvasback has been changing hearts and lives 20:21 one miracle at a time. 20:23 But your financial help is needed 20:25 to keep this important work going. 20:28 If you would like to volunteer or be a financial partner, 20:32 log on to canvasback.org. 20:35 As a leader in the field of health in Micronesia, 20:38 Canvasback Missions 20:40 has been helping people reverse diabetes for years. 20:44 Yes, you heard correctly, reverse diabetes. 20:48 In addition, 20:49 we are helping to reduce the incident of heart disease. 20:52 At least 34 million people in the US have diabetes. 20:56 Many have no idea they have it until it's almost too late. 21:00 Many children have diabetes. 21:03 It's time to stop it in its tracks. 21:05 What's the key? 21:07 Certain foods, exercise and many other simple 21:10 yet critical items are combined to produce amazing results. 21:15 Log on to canvasback.org to download your own free copy, 21:19 written by renowned author, Brenda Davis. 21:22 Learn from an expert in the field 21:24 how to reverse this dreaded killer. 21:26 Remember, it's completely free. 21:28 Download a copy today for yourself, 21:30 friend or a loved one. 21:32 It will be life changing. 21:50 I understand a huge number of people here 21:52 are affected by diabetes, 60-70%. 21:55 And it would be even better here 21:58 because we have the raw materials, 22:00 it's just a matter of how do you to get it. 22:04 The master plan is really important. 22:06 Very little.
