00:01 Now where did the name Canvasback come from?
00:03 That's a name of a duck, a migratory duck. 00:08 Those are often named after birds. 00:11 And this is a migratory bird that... 00:18 Sailed from north to south. 00:20 Yeah, so it seemed appropriate name for both... 00:23 Because that's what we're gonna be doing. 00:26 Going from California or from Oregon, 00:29 all the way over to the Marshall Islands 00:31 and coming back, back and forth. 00:50 It's little bit warmer down here, 00:52 in the boat it feels little lighter. 00:55 It's nicer to get the coat off. 00:56 Now, this is kind of tiny in comparison to this brand new 00:59 about 71-foot, 01:01 the 71-foot catamaran actually, 01:04 so you got lots... 01:05 It was a catamaran. It was a catamaran. 01:08 So lots of space though. 01:09 Yes. Huge ship. 01:10 How many people did it take to really sail that thing? 01:13 Well, we had four in the ship's crew, 01:16 four in the medical team and four in the dental team. 01:19 We had 12, no six cabins, 01:24 six, seven stateroom cabins. 01:26 But tell me about your first mission 01:28 to the islands? 01:29 Oh, our first mission 01:31 when we sailed the Canvasback all the way to Majuro 01:35 and we were assigned to go 01:37 to a little atoll called Maloelap. 01:40 And we went to Maloelap and worked on an island, 01:45 had about 100 people in the little island of Ira. 01:48 And we saw every man, woman, child, 01:50 we did medical clinic, we did dental clinic. 01:52 And as we were packing up, 01:54 we saw this man 01:55 who'd been standing in the corner of the room 01:58 and he had a rag over his face. 02:00 And we went over to him to see what was wrong. 02:03 And he had an abscess, the size of a golf ball. 02:06 He had been in pain for over a year, 02:09 but never occurred to him that there was any possibility 02:14 that he could have relief from that pain. 02:16 So our doctors immediately took out 02:20 what they needed. 02:21 And they gave him the medicines to care 02:24 and took care of him. 02:25 And he was pain free, you know. 02:28 So I'm glad you shared that story 02:29 because really, that's what Canvasback 02:31 is all about. 02:32 Jesus went through villages and healed everybody. 02:34 If you're sick, you can't focus on eternal things again. 02:38 That's right. 02:39 So really, you're the seed planters, 02:41 you're the ones who removes the pain 02:43 and can point them towards heaven 02:44 and then God can continue to work in their heart. 02:47 Right, right. 02:48 And you know, what was so neat was the... 02:52 The queen of the island came out to us. 02:55 What are all you people doing on my island? 02:58 And Jamie and I said, 03:00 "Well, you know, we're here because Christian people, 03:05 people who believe in God acts 03:07 have sent us here to help your people." 03:11 "I never heard anything like that before." 03:16 So the two of you were really hooked on mission. 03:19 Now this is really got you going. 03:21 Oh, yes, we were there 03:22 because Jesus has called us there. 03:24 When we left her island, 03:25 she said, "On the behalf of the people of my island, 03:29 we thank you from the bottom of our hearts." 03:33 How many years ago was that? 03:34 Oh, that was in 1987 03:38 is when that was about... 03:40 I don't know. 03:42 Canvasback has been going a long time. 03:45 Tell me, why would you ask people 03:48 or I know you do. 03:49 Why do you ask people to support this ministry, 03:51 which is an amazing ministry? 03:54 Because it really helps people, it impacts the lives, 03:57 it changes the lives of people. 03:59 It removes suffering from people 04:01 that really don't have any other hope, 04:03 any other source. 04:05 The very poorest person here in the US, 04:08 the very poorest person in the US lives like a king 04:11 in comparison to the people out in the islands. 04:15 In the outer islands. 04:16 I've seen some of those people, what? 04:19 $10, $20 maybe $30 a month is their pay 04:23 and they have no chance 04:26 of any medical health whatsoever. 04:27 No chance of any medical health at all. 04:29 Now this coming year, 04:31 you're looking at taking how many teams? 04:33 Ten missions. Ten missions. 04:35 Now for folks who don't know you switch now 04:39 from taking people on boats so to, 04:41 to taking them by plane. 04:43 How come you made the switch? 04:45 We finished the work 04:46 that we set out with a catamaran. 04:48 The catamaran medical ship 04:51 was the world's largest two-masted sailing catamaran 04:55 and still lives. 04:57 She's still working for doing oceanographic work 05:00 with another organization. 05:02 She was built with volunteers entirely. 05:05 Two hundred volunteers worked on the boat 05:07 before she was finished. 05:09 We saw so many miracles in the building of that boat. 05:12 We set out to help establish 05:16 an outer island dispensary system 05:18 in the Marshall Islands 05:19 where there are 60 outer islands, 05:22 and they're separated sometimes about 300 miles of oceans. 05:26 You think of the logistics. 05:27 There's small populations, 05:30 the most populated island 05:32 had about 1,500 people on it. 05:34 The smallest about 200. 05:36 How are you going to provide medical care 05:39 over a wide expanse of scattered islands 05:43 in the ocean like that? 05:44 Well, the outer island dispensary system 05:47 is the answer. 05:49 You have a health assistant who has some medical training, 05:52 you have a little hut for him 05:57 with shelves and some medicines, 06:00 and you have a single sideband radio 06:02 so that he can talk to a doctor 06:05 back on the main island, the Majuro. 06:08 That's an outer island dispensary system. 06:10 He has some medicines, 06:11 he has a means of communication with a doctor. 06:13 He has some way to get these medicines supply. 06:16 That's what we helped to build. 06:18 And once that was operating, we'd really done the work 06:22 that the medical ship was built for. 06:25 And I noticed you've really changed somewhat 06:28 in what you do, 06:29 you've really gone to a lot of it 06:31 is training staff 06:33 and people on the island, 06:34 so they can help their own people. 06:36 Right, and surgical teams, 06:38 and we couldn't do surgery on the medical ship. 06:42 So our programs outgrew the Canvasback. 06:46 And then the very first president 06:48 of the Marshall Islands asked Jamie and me 06:51 to help develop a diabetes reversal program 06:54 for the Marshall Islands. 06:56 Diabetes is the number one killer 06:58 in the Marshall Islands. 06:59 And the president saw that the very best, 07:03 his brightest leaders were succumbing to diabetes 07:07 and he wanted us to develop a program to do that. 07:10 Now, some people are going to say 07:12 diabetes reversal, you can't reverse diabetes. 07:16 In fact, when we got a grant from the Department of Defense, 07:20 and at our very first product line review, 07:23 our governing board, one of the scientists came up 07:27 and we heard that we were going to do that 07:28 we were going to successfully change 07:31 the lifestyle. 07:33 And right there in front of the entire review board, 07:35 all these scientists that were critiquing our work. 07:39 He said, "I want to give you my condolences in advance, 07:43 because those people will never change." 07:46 And then what happened a year later? 07:48 A year later, we went to product line review again, 07:51 which means we stand and present 07:53 before a board of scientists. 07:56 He apologized for his comments 07:58 when he saw the results of our work. 08:01 God has been with your work. 08:02 Amen. Yes, He has. 08:07 Again, I guess, I get back to a question 08:10 I'm not certain was totally answered for me. 08:12 Why should people support this mission? 08:16 The devil doesn't need an advocate, 08:17 so I'm not going to be his advocate. 08:19 But some might watch and say, 08:20 "Oh these islands are small and the populations are small. 08:23 We need to help somebody else." 08:25 Yeah, that's a factor there. 08:28 It's not reaching big masses of people 08:30 like going to India. 08:32 But who's going to reach these people? 08:35 Aren't they worth reaching? 08:37 And they are. 08:38 And they're the most isolated people 08:41 in the world. 08:42 The people of these tiny islands of Micronesia, 08:45 the most forgotten 08:47 and isolated people in the world. 08:49 Many people I talked to don't know, 08:51 I've never heard of the Marshall Islands 08:53 or Micronesia, 08:55 and yet, 08:56 they're an American protectorate. 08:58 And there were after the Second World War, 09:00 they were in American territory, 09:01 the US flag flew out there. 09:04 We have a connection and responsibility 09:06 and yet they are forgotten. 09:08 And they're without hope on many islands. 09:11 But for God, are they... 09:13 They're just as precious to God. 09:15 That's right. 09:17 They are just precious people, very special people. 09:21 You know, when we talk about Micronesia, 09:23 I thought you might want to know. 09:24 Micronesia spans the area of the United States. 09:29 If you were to look in the ocean, 09:32 you would see an area of Micronesia 09:36 of the United States. 09:37 But if you were to squish all those islands together, 09:41 it would have a landmass of less than Rhode Island. 09:45 Well, so they span probably 750,000 square miles 09:48 but all, you know, put together not much. 09:51 Mostly ocean. 09:52 Islands are very small, very tiny islands. 09:55 But God knows the hairs on their head. 09:57 They're all numbered too. 09:58 So He called you guys to go. 10:00 But it doesn't happen alone. 10:02 You have to spend money to get these teams 10:04 to get all these people out there cost money. 10:06 That's right. That's right. 10:08 To send a surgical team, 10:13 we fill up a container, 10:15 a 40-foot container of all the supplies 10:17 and equipment that's needed to provide surgeries 10:20 for two weeks. 10:22 And that's that requires a lot. 10:25 You know people really would be shocked 10:27 at the logistics 10:29 of putting these things together. 10:30 It's not like a casual medical team, 10:33 mission trip that a church would send out. 10:36 It takes months of advance work, 10:38 and an ocean container, 10:40 40-foot ocean container has to go on a ship 10:44 and get out there before we do. 10:46 Someone has to be responsible for it when it arrives. 10:50 All of our physicians have licensed in the countries 10:53 where they practice. 10:55 There's a lot of logistics to make this work. 10:58 Jamie, maybe I can give our viewers a little idea 11:00 when you think of a 40-foot container 11:02 since we just moved across the country. 11:04 Virtually you could put 11:06 two entire households of furniture 11:08 almost in a 40-foot container. 11:09 Yes. 11:11 So that's a lot of stuff for a two-week period 11:13 for these people to work. 11:15 That's what it takes to support a two-week surgery team. 11:19 That's what it takes in the hospitals here. 11:21 But people don't see that coming. 11:24 According to the World Health Organization, 11:26 depression is the leading cause of worldwide disability 11:30 that happens to a lot of people. 11:32 Are you depressed? 11:34 Have you become discouraged lately? 11:36 The list is endless of things 11:37 that can trigger discouragement, despair, 11:40 or even depression. 11:41 If you are someone you know 11:43 was experiencing one or more of these difficulties, 11:45 we have a great little booklet for you. 11:48 It's written by author and international speaker 11:50 Jim Ayer. 11:51 Overcoming the 3Ds contains timely advice 11:54 set in a lighthearted manner, 11:56 meant to help lift you up and out of your problems. 11:59 Understand, we all have problems, 12:02 trials and troubles, 12:03 but we don't need to focus on them. 12:06 You can obtain your copy right now 12:07 by going to canvasback.org. 12:10 And for a gift of any amount, that's for any gift amount, 12:13 you will receive your copy of Overcoming the 3Ds. 12:17 Get your copy today. 12:21 I look at this amazing creation of God in planet earth. 12:24 I wasn't an always a Christian. 12:26 No, I was actually a drug dealer, 12:28 an alcoholic and a thief, did all those things. 12:30 But then God led me to read His Holy Word. 12:34 It's such an amazing Word. 12:37 He's such an incredible God. 12:39 He never sees any situation says, 12:42 oh, wow, I never saw that coming. 12:44 No. 12:45 God is involved in every aspect of every life, 12:49 every heart calling them to Himself 12:51 and guarding them, watching over them. 12:54 I look at 2 Kings in Chapter 6. 12:57 It's a story of Assyrian king 12:59 who wants to go at war with Israel, 13:02 wants to take them over. 13:04 But every time he makes a plan, 13:06 it seems like the prophet of God 13:09 knows what that plan is. 13:11 And he runs and he tells the king of Israel 13:13 and so the king of Israel 13:14 defeats the plan of Assyria every time. 13:17 Finally the king gets so mad, he just can't hardly stand it. 13:21 He knows there's a traitor in his midst. 13:23 He calls all of his leadership together 13:25 and said, "What are you doing? 13:27 Who has betrayed me?" 13:28 One of his leaders said, 13:29 "No, no, King, oh King, it's not us. 13:32 It's that prophet in Israel." 13:35 Well, the king finally decides 13:37 he is going to go get that prophet. 13:39 He heads off to where Elijah is staying, 13:43 where he's holding up 13:45 as it were camping in a beautiful location 13:48 in a small city. 13:50 And he surrounds that city with all of his horses, 13:53 all of his chariots, all of his men. 13:57 And Elijah's prophet gets up one morning early, he looks out 14:01 and all of a sudden he sees all of this army. 14:05 And they're there for his master, 14:07 for his boss, the prophet. 14:08 Well, it's very interesting because in verse 15, 14:14 says, "When the servant of the man of God 14:17 was risen early and gone forth, behold, 14:18 there was a whole host that compass, this little city, 14:21 all host of the enemy. 14:23 But then he got his master and his master says, 14:27 'Fear not, fear not.' 14:28 He prayed to God to open his servant's eyes. 14:33 And when the servant looked, 14:35 he beheld there was chariots of fire, 14:37 all round about them, 14:39 chariots of God's doing, 14:41 chariots with angels and flaming swords. 14:45 And he says, 'Fear not they that be with us 14:48 are more than they that be with Him.'" 14:51 God loves you so much. 14:53 God cares for you so much. 14:57 Matter of fact, he came to planet earth. 14:59 He died for you. 15:01 He died for me to wipe away our sins, 15:05 because every one of us have sinned here in earth. 15:09 We have no hope. 15:11 If it wasn't for Jesus Christ, 15:13 if it weren't for Him coming down here 15:15 and hanging on a cross and dying, 15:17 He cares for us. 15:18 I just can't say it enough. 15:20 I'd sit here, or stand here actually 15:22 and say it over and over and over again 15:25 if would make a difference, but you know, 15:27 it's up to me, it's up to you, we need to choose. 15:31 When I was that drug dealer, that alcoholic and a thief, 15:34 it took me a long time. 15:36 But finally, I heard that voice calling 15:38 and saying, "Come to Me, come to Me." 15:41 And when I responded, it was so absolutely amazing. 15:46 This God is such an incredible God. 15:50 He's our best friend. He's our Savior. 15:53 He's our Creator, and really our Recreator. 15:56 He wants to recreate you. And He wants to recreate me. 16:00 What a God. 16:04 As a leader in the field of health in Micronesia, 16:07 Canvasback Missions 16:09 has been helping people reverse diabetes for years. 16:13 Yes, you heard correctly, reverse diabetes. 16:17 In addition, 16:18 we are helping to reduce the incident of heart disease. 16:21 At least 34 million people in the US have diabetes. 16:25 Many have no idea they have it until it's almost too late. 16:29 Many children have diabetes. 16:32 It's time to stop it in its tracks. 16:34 What's the key? 16:35 Certain foods, exercise 16:37 and many other simple yet critical items are combined 16:41 to produce amazing results. 16:44 Log on to canvasback.org 16:46 to download your own free copy, 16:48 written by renowned author Brenda Davis. 16:51 Learn from an expert in the field 16:53 how to reverse this dreaded killer. 16:55 Remember, it's completely free. 16:57 Download a copy today for yourself, 16:59 friend or loved one, 17:01 it will be life changing. 17:05 Now what's really great as you shared with me, Jacque, 17:08 I believe that the amount of money 17:10 that it really grows, a mission dollar becomes what, 17:13 $1,000 in how it produces results. 17:17 That's right. It's amazing. 17:18 It's first, of course, the grace of God 17:21 and the power of volunteerism 17:23 that hundreds of thousands of dollars worth 17:26 of medical supplies that are donated, 17:29 multiply the givers dollar supports this mission 17:33 for every dollar that they invest, 17:36 they get a 1,200% return on investment. 17:40 Now where can you invest and get a 1,200% return? 17:43 I would go for... 17:44 I'd like to find that management we have 17:46 right here, Canvasback Mission. 17:48 So that's your dollars given to Canvasback 17:52 multiply greatly. 17:55 And they save lives, they change lives. 17:58 One miracle at a time. One miracle at a time. 18:03 In one trip, we can give sight to 200 blind people 18:08 through eye surgery. 18:10 And every time you give a blind person sight, 18:14 of course, you give him his life back. 18:17 But you give someone else's life back to, 18:19 the care person that had lead the blind one around. 18:23 At least one care person 18:25 sometimes probably more than one. 18:26 A family. 18:27 You change a person's life 18:29 when you change an entire family. 18:32 Canvasback provides 18:33 over half a million dollars' worth of caring 18:35 within two weeks' time. 18:38 And that's pretty exciting. 18:39 We have teams that will go out and they work hard. 18:42 They give 110% of their effort 18:45 to provide the very best care. 18:48 I think I was able to see one surgeon 18:51 when he did retinal surgery on a person he says, 18:53 you know, in the United States 18:55 I've done a $12,000 surgery 18:57 here's to a person who makes $20 or $30 a month, 19:00 maybe 50 if they're lucky. 19:02 But all of a sudden, they see again, 19:05 they have a surgery 19:06 they could never afford in their entire lifetime. 19:08 But God has worked through Canvasback 19:09 to make it happen for them. 19:11 To give sight to the blind again. 19:12 Right. 19:14 Can you imagine 200 people led into the clinic 19:18 blind by their caregivers 19:21 and walking out praising God, I can see. 19:23 Hallelujah. Yeah, yeah. 19:25 Well, I think about the little boy 19:27 he was pointing upward. 19:28 And you told me this story, Jacque, pointing upwards. 19:31 Robert was saying he was born blind. 19:35 And we were able to do surgery on him. 19:38 And after his surgery, 19:40 he pointed up there and said there is only one God 19:44 because there that little boy had been praying with his mama, 19:48 since he was able to praying for his sight. 19:52 Amen. Amen. 19:55 You mentioned that United States official 19:58 I believe had challenged you and said, "Forget it. 20:00 It'll never happen. You can't reverse diabetes." 20:03 But then you came back in the next year, 20:04 he said, "Wow, you're doing it." 20:06 We really didn't touch on that. 20:08 I know you started a wellness center, 20:11 extrapolate it, you know, unpack it for me? 20:15 Canvasback received a grant 20:18 through the Department of Defense 20:20 to prove that 20:25 through lifestyle medicine, 20:28 diabetes could be reversed 20:29 and the populations in the Marshall Islands 20:33 were diabetes. 20:34 Well, it has the worst epidemic of diabetes in the world 20:39 is happening there. 20:40 And it largely goes untreated. 20:42 And it ends in amputations, 20:45 blindness, renal failure, 20:49 and it's a very serious disease. 20:51 Number one killer in most of the islands. 20:53 It is the number one killer in the Marshall Islands 20:55 and in other parts of Micronesia. 20:58 And to establish this on a coral, 21:00 to establish a program like this on a coral atoll 21:04 where the tallest thing on the island 21:06 is the coconut tree 21:07 and the soil is like living in coral rubble. 21:11 It's virtually impossible to grow food there. 21:14 It's hard to grow good food there, 21:16 so we have to teach special techniques, 21:19 because they can't afford imported food, 21:23 you know, spoken of the poverty there. 21:26 The only hope they have of the healthy food 21:29 that they need to prevent and reverse diabetes 21:33 is to grow it themselves. 21:35 And that's part of what we teach. 21:37 Through this grant, we established, 21:41 we built a wellness center that still operates, 21:44 it was built for the purpose of doing scientific research 21:48 for three years to prove or disprove 21:52 that diabetes could be reversed 21:54 and this population through lifestyle. 21:57 Lifestyle simply meant diet and exercise. 22:01 And faith was a part, 22:03 faith in God was an important part 22:05 of our program there. 22:08 And this scientist on the review board that said 22:14 it couldn't be done 22:17 was responding to the actual data 22:21 from that research. 22:22 When he saw scientific data that was done 22:27 and, of course, he felt compelled to apologize 22:29 for his comments then. 22:31 Now the wellness center is growing 22:33 in its kind of tentacles and reach to witness. 22:36 Yes, uh-huh. 22:37 We have just developed 22:39 the first age physical education program 22:43 for kindergarten through eighth grade. 22:45 So exciting and we've placed playgrounds 22:48 on all the schools, 22:50 all the elementary schools and gardens there. 22:54 It's so exciting because we recognize that 22:57 if we're really going to reverse diabetes, 22:59 we have to teach the children. 23:01 Those kids are the ones who really drive their parents 23:05 on what they want to eat. 23:07 And normally that 23:08 before they have been taught this, 23:10 most kids eat raw ramen 23:14 with culi powder poured on top of it. 23:17 And that's a real cheap, delicious breakfast. 23:22 Perfect, perfect for diabetes research. 23:25 I understand the barbecues aren't too much better either. 23:28 That's right. That's right. 23:30 Turkey tails are the favorite for barbecue. 23:33 When I first heard of Turkey tails, 23:35 I thought I heard it incorrectly. 23:36 Yeah, like it... 23:38 It's going to be the only place in the world 23:39 that they import turkey tails. 23:40 Yep. Yeah. 23:42 How bad can that be for you just a chunk of fat? 23:44 So and then the other outreach 23:47 that we have is to reach out 23:49 to the high risk diabetic patients, 23:53 many of them who are at home 23:54 who can't even come to the wellness center, 23:57 because they have the amputation 23:59 or their family members 24:00 can't help support to get them there. 24:02 So we go to their homes and see what do you need, 24:05 what to make, 24:07 to make you successfully reverse diabetes. 24:09 You get neighborhood visitation too. 24:11 Neighborhood visitation team, do you need, 24:14 we need to help you establish a garden. 24:17 And then once you have this strange food 24:19 that you're growing, that you're not used to eating, 24:21 we need to teach you how to eat that 24:23 and how to cook those foods. 24:25 And you're getting requests now 24:26 from other islands to please help us? 24:28 That's right. 24:29 This is one diabetes reversal clinic 24:33 in all of Micronesia, on the Marshall Islands. 24:36 It has gained fame 24:38 throughout the jurisdictions and the islands of the Pacific. 24:42 It's well-known that diabetes is being reversed 24:46 not just in the individuals 24:48 who are reversing their diabetes, 24:50 we're reversing the epidemic of diabetes 24:53 in the entire nation, and other nations want it. 24:57 I saw firsthand. 24:59 You know where they're and all of a sudden 25:00 the senator who comes looking for Jacque 25:02 finally, please help us, we're in crisis. 25:05 And this is from another island. 25:06 Yes. 25:07 We have many requests to bring this kind of care 25:11 to other islands. 25:12 Bottom line, you could help if you had the funds. 25:14 That's right. We, we... 25:16 That's all it takes. 25:18 We have requests for us 25:19 to send out more surgical teams. 25:21 I thought, "We were going to do 10 next year." 25:24 You know, we have the ability to send out more, 25:28 but we don't have the funds to do. 25:29 Because the needs are definitely there. 25:31 Oh, needs are really there. 25:32 Let me explain it this way with the surgery teams. 25:35 We are the specialists. 25:37 The little hospitals mostly have just primary care. 25:41 So if a person needs specialty care 25:44 if he's blinded by cataracts, 25:46 if he has worn out joints can't walk, 25:51 was crippled, bedridden. 25:53 There is no specialties there, we are the specialists, 25:56 we are the hope. 25:57 Gynecology too. 25:59 Gynecology and ENT ear problems, 26:02 everything. 26:04 One of the doctors at the hospital said, 26:06 "We have nothing for the women. 26:07 We have no women's health programs." 26:09 That's right. 26:10 That would, in the United States 26:12 nobody would ever put up with such a thing. 26:13 Oh, you know... 26:15 But you're helping fill that great need. 26:17 All the dental program 26:18 so children with bombed out rotten mouths. 26:24 We wouldn't have that in the United States. 26:26 It would not be tolerable. Yeah. 26:28 So when you say why should people help 26:30 because God has given us so much, 26:33 He has blessed us to be born in this country, 26:36 that we can be able to share those talents 26:39 and those gifts that he's given us 26:41 with people in Micronesia. 26:44 And for every dollar that they give, 26:46 they are going to get $1200, 26:49 1200% return on investment. 26:52 Phenomenal mission return on your note. 26:55 Amen. 26:56 Guys, it has been a real pleasure 26:58 to sit with you today 26:59 and hear some of the Canvasback story. 27:00 I know there's a lot more 27:02 because I understand you're writing a book too, 27:03 so we can't wait for that. 27:05 Thank you, Jim. 27:08 My husband and I 27:09 founded the Ministry of Canvasback Missions 27:11 38 years ago 27:13 to serve the island nations of the Pacific. 27:15 From those humble beginnings, 27:17 our medical and dental super teams 27:20 have been changing lives and bringing hope 27:22 to so many people. 27:25 Our teams volunteer their time and resources, 27:28 and all of our services are free. 27:31 But it does take funding to make it all happen. 27:34 That's where you come in. 27:36 Your financial support is needed. 27:38 Please join us in changing lives, 27:41 one miracle at a time. 27:44 If you'd like to partner with us, 27:45 you can write us at 940, Adam Street, 27:48 Suite R, Benicia, California 94510. 27:52 Or you can log on to canvasback.org. 27:56 Call us at (707) 746-7828. 28:00 And thank you for watching. 28:02 Please join us again for another exciting adventure. 28:04 Remember, Canvasback is making an impact, 28:07 one miracle at a time. |
