00:01 It's fun to kind of watch the policemen here,
00:04 flagging all the various cars but you know all of these cars 00:07 have people in them. 00:09 Many people without Jesus Christ, 00:11 and that is the gospel commission 00:13 to go into all the world and share Jesus. 00:16 Now sometimes we think of all the world 00:18 is a very localized area here or here. 00:21 But, you know, down here in the islands of Micronesia, 00:24 there are people who need to hear 00:26 the precious gospel of Jesus also. 00:28 And Jesus with that commission of going all the world 00:31 set out a very specific line 00:34 of what I like to call the cycle of evangelism. 00:37 Some sow plant seed, 00:41 others water and still others harvest the seed. 00:45 Canvasback fits especially in that first one, 00:48 sowing a lot of seed, changing hearts and lives, 00:51 bringing them to an awareness of who Jesus is, 00:54 His incredible love, just one miracle at a time. 01:16 So you feel that the risks 01:19 would outweigh the benefits 01:22 for that left eye. 01:24 Okay, and then let's put it up, come again I ask you. 01:28 Thank you so much, man. 01:31 Okay, I want to put an eye drop in your right eye, okay. 01:35 This is a glaucoma or eye pressure drop. 01:38 Look up high. 01:42 Close. 01:43 You know he's very valuable. 01:46 Quite a few patients when we go on mission trips like this 01:48 that have brown cataracts that his was extra, extra hard. 01:52 Yeah. 01:54 So the normal techniques I would use to fractionate it 01:57 and suck it out pieces would have been done 02:01 more harm than good 02:02 compared to what we did is use a larger incision, 02:04 bring it out like delivering a baby, 02:06 just bringing a lot of away piece, 02:09 and that's what we did. 02:11 That's what that photo we took. 02:14 So not everything's good news? 02:16 That's right, in his other eye we had bad news for him. 02:19 If there's eye pressure, if his eye was, 02:22 it was earlier on in the process 02:26 we could have done a lens exchange 02:28 and maybe a corneal transplant but as it is he was sick enough 02:32 that we know from experience we operated on eye 02:35 with that little pressure that in case, 02:37 it's not the matter of raising the pressure 02:39 that the, when eye get sick 02:40 it actually starts to shut down fluid production. 02:43 And this is why an eye can go in, 02:45 it's in the early stages what we call phthisis 02:48 which is the fancy medical term for so sick 02:51 that it starts to shrink. 02:54 So that's down. 03:04 Just turn it up and push a little bit. 03:06 It'll just fall out in there. 03:07 Okay, let me give somebody. 03:09 Yeah. 03:11 There seem two things. 03:13 Right, cataract, also retina failure. 03:18 So these guys fish all night to bring in a catch. 03:21 The first one was close to 80 pounds. 03:24 These guys look like they caught bigger fish 03:26 and they just, it's the luck of the draw. 03:31 Now by the end of the day, 03:33 I assume they pretty much sell all these out. 03:35 Yeah. 03:36 In the morning people, especially the markets, 03:40 they come in the morning and just buy that markets 03:44 but you know people who are selling food 03:46 first times and they didn't buy it. 03:49 So most of it for the restaurant 03:51 and really the tourist industry then. 03:54 Tourists don't usually come and buy fish here. 03:57 Tourists don't come to the restaurants? 04:00 Oh, yeah, they go to the restaurant, 04:01 but not in here. 04:03 Yeah, now that's what I meant. 04:04 Yeah, yeah. 04:05 Eat everything at the restaurants. 04:07 So it doesn't end up on the table typically, 04:09 maybe the locals. 04:11 No. 04:12 Only few locals will come and buy. 04:16 Those fishermen if they have a good catch, 04:18 usually fishermen can make some good money. 04:20 Oh, yeah. 04:22 Now how much does a fisherman have 04:24 in the cost of his equipment for a boat and thing? 04:26 How much does a boat cost? 04:27 Oh. 04:29 Boats will cost you, it depends. 04:31 The smaller boat will cause you maybe 4000, 5000. 04:34 Lot of money. 04:36 Yeah, but the nice one like mine, 04:38 maybe that's $8,000 $9,000. 04:42 A boat then costs more than a car. 04:43 You were telling me yesterday, some cars are $2,000. 04:46 Yes. 04:49 Few people have boat. 04:50 More people have cars because cars are really cheap. 04:54 How much of the economy is fishing 04:57 still here for the islands? 05:00 You know, we rarely export fish. 05:04 So it's the economy 05:06 and what we are getting from fish is the license 05:08 that these people are giving us. 05:10 So about two, three, about up to maybe almost $3 million. 05:14 So the big... A $30 million. 05:15 The big fishing groups from other countries. 05:18 Yes. 05:19 But the small one, they just come here, 05:20 and people, less people are fishing now. 05:23 So we just buy... 05:25 Buy all the fish. Yeah. 05:27 Do these all gill nets? 05:29 Now they catch it by nets? 05:30 No, no spear. 05:31 Nighttime they go spearfishing. 05:33 This all spearfishing? Yeah. 05:35 They're busy. That's a lot of fish to catch... 05:36 Oh, these guys they go down 05:38 like some of them will go down like 70-80 feet. 05:41 And they're just snorkeling doing it. 05:43 Wow. 05:46 It's amazing. 05:48 It's just like, you know, you use tank, 05:49 you go down 90-feet, 70. 05:51 These guys are fishing way down. 05:53 Now I've been scuba diving for a lot of years 05:56 but, boy, when you just snorkel, 05:57 that takes a lot to go down and find a fish 06:00 and spear it and get back up before you run out of breath. 06:04 You know, fishing is an industry 06:07 as old as time itself really. 06:09 Matter of fact, even Jesus after the resurrection, 06:11 He met with the disciples. 06:13 He saw them out on the lake, He called to them, 06:15 they've been fishing. 06:16 They came in 06:18 and there was a beautiful little fire with fish 06:19 laid on the fire 06:21 to provide them some sustenance. 06:23 Fishing as an economy here that's dwindled over time. 06:26 Now there's very few fishermen in comparison 06:29 to the worldwide fishing 06:30 that goes on China and Japan and many other nations. 06:33 They're taking most of the catch, 06:35 which leaves very little 06:37 for the nationals here in Pohnpei. 06:44 According to the World Health Organization, 06:46 depression is the leading cause of worldwide disability 06:50 that happens to a lot of people. 06:53 Are you depressed? 06:54 Have you become discouraged lately? 06:56 The list is endless of things 06:58 that can trigger discouragement, 06:59 despair, or even depression. 07:02 If you are someone you know is experiencing 07:04 one or more of these difficulties, 07:06 we have a great little booklet for you. 07:08 It's written by author 07:09 and international speaker Jim Ayer. 07:12 Overcoming the 3Ds contains timely advice 07:15 set in a lighthearted manner, 07:16 meant to help lift you up and out of your problems. 07:20 Understand, we all have problems, 07:22 trials and troubles, 07:23 but we don't need to focus on them. 07:26 You can obtain your copy right now 07:28 by going to canvasback.org. 07:30 And for a gift of any amount, that's for any gift amount, 07:34 you will receive your copy of Overcoming the 3Ds. 07:37 Get your copy today. 07:41 Well, Bruce had been asked several times by Dr. Gino 07:45 to come to Pohnpei and I guess any mission, 07:49 but particularly here to work on all the equipment. 07:53 And Bruce didn't want to go without me. 07:55 So it worked out for me to go with him. 07:58 And I'm really glad that we got to go together, 08:00 we have lots of projects at home. 08:02 And, but this is, this is much more important. 08:06 Helping people, these people really need some help 08:09 and we're able to give it actually quite easily. 08:13 It's a little different. 08:14 I'm a college professor, and I teach computer classes. 08:18 I think that, yeah, just extra hands 08:21 makes the work lighter. 08:23 And that's true here too. 08:26 But I mean, and she took some time 08:29 to train a little bit before she came, 08:31 and I'm sure she felt like, 08:33 you know, she was in overhead. 08:35 But when she started here, 08:36 but at least she had a little exposure to it 08:39 before she actually started doing that. 08:42 And she's familiar with the equipment 08:46 from kind of mechanical standpoint, 08:50 because she's a dealer for the autoclaves 08:55 that we're using here. 08:57 And so she set up for, for us to go 09:01 and get factory training for servicing. 09:05 So that, yeah, she sat through those classes with me. 09:10 Yeah, for me probably six months ago, 09:14 because I started getting emails 09:19 from Dr. Galvin of stuff that wasn't working, 09:24 that they would need help with 09:27 and I actually then 09:31 was able to get some equipment that needed repair 09:36 and fix it at home and send it over here. 09:40 So when we got here, we had pieces 09:42 that were already working. 09:44 And then we'll leave those here for them 09:48 to continue using stuff that anybody could do. 09:53 When we first got here, 09:55 all, everything needed to be unpacked. 09:57 And so that's a big job in itself. 10:00 Containment, almost a containment room. 10:02 Yeah, a lot of, a lot of big box crates. 10:07 And so then one of the things that they wanted done 10:11 is they had a couple of new pieces of equipment 10:14 that they had gotten here, 10:15 but they, they just been sitting in the box 10:19 because they didn't have anybody to put them together. 10:21 And one was a surgery microscope. 10:24 Another was retinal camera. 10:26 And so, I actually didn't do all of that, 10:30 I just helped out in parts and other people, 10:34 you know, took it out of the box 10:37 and got stuff ready so that I could stay on task 10:41 with some other things. 10:42 A lot of the stuff that I've worked on, 10:44 it's some of its similar, but it's not the stuff 10:48 that I've actually been trained in 10:51 or, you know, had experience with. 10:53 So it's taken a little more time. 10:56 And the internet, 10:57 internet's not quite as good of the access here. 11:00 Normally I'd, you know, for stuff that 11:04 piece of equipment that I haven't worked on before 11:07 I would get on YouTube 11:08 and see if I could find 11:10 some instructional stuff on there. 11:12 I kid people and tell them 11:14 I'm a doctor that I'm a neurologist. 11:19 And I, so I have a doctorate in neurology. 11:23 But, so I've got some stuff on YouTube, too, 11:26 that you know, showing how to work on different lasers 11:30 or stuff like that. 11:32 But... 11:33 Right, yeah, we had some catching up to do. 11:36 We had to be ready Monday morning. 11:37 Surgeries right away. 11:40 Yeah, that first day, we were pretty wiped out. 11:44 Oh, and we're having a great time 11:46 meeting some of the people here. 11:49 We haven't had a chance 11:50 because of the extra day they get here 11:54 to really look around or see stuff 11:56 a lot of times more, 11:57 you get a chance to go walk and it's dark already. 11:59 But we did get one evening to get out a little bit 12:03 while it was still daylight. 12:04 So that's kind of fun. 12:06 And just the sea and the water so close and... 12:11 Well, part of it is, 12:13 you know, 12:17 for the people that that came on the team, 12:20 Dr. Gino, Dr. Marshall. 12:24 Yeah, those guys are part of my family. 12:26 So you know that, if they need help, 12:28 I want to help them out. 12:30 So that's, that's part of it. 12:31 And then the people here, you know, to help them 12:36 and, but not only to help them, 12:39 but to just get to know them a little bit, 12:41 and have a chance to interact 12:46 and share what, what's going on in their life 12:50 and what's going on in our lives. 12:52 And so, that, that's part of it, too. 12:56 But, yeah, we, where I work, 12:59 there's lots of doctors that are doing missions. 13:03 You know, I'm really, really honored 13:05 to be a part of that group. 13:06 And there's a doctor 13:08 that goes to Ethiopia every year. 13:12 A doctor that goes to Fiji. 13:15 Doctor Gino that does somewhere in the Marshall Islands 13:18 or the Micronesia every year. 13:23 There's a doctor that goes to North Korea at once a year. 13:29 And so, you know that that's the thing. 13:31 They've all been asking me and I've been kind of 13:34 just taking care of them when they're at home. 13:37 This is a big job in itself. 13:38 So I've kind of put it off. 13:40 But yeah, no, after this experience, 13:44 I think I would, you know, if we can work it out, 13:48 I think we would do it again, 13:49 if there was a situation where we think 13:51 our skills would help out so. 13:53 Oh, absolutely, absolutely. 13:55 I've really enjoyed giving the people, 13:57 you know, I'm back in the surgery area, 13:59 and they're several of the Pohnpei people here 14:03 that work for the hospital and we get to spend, 14:06 we get to spend a little time visiting. 14:08 And it's neat to see the difference in culture. 14:11 One thing is their sense of time, or lack thereof. 14:17 They're very easygoing. 14:18 They're never in a rush, which you know, 14:21 sometimes that's good for us to see. 14:23 You know why let, why just rush through life. 14:25 Let's take a little time. 14:27 But sometimes there is a need for schedule, so. 14:31 Well, I think that the Canvasback 14:34 they're doing a very needed service. 14:39 When the one night that we did get 14:42 to walk around a little bit, 14:45 you don't have to get very far out it away 14:47 from the center of town to see 14:50 that the residents here really don't have much 14:53 and as far as anything that's extra, 15:00 you know that their lives are pretty much just sustained. 15:05 And that's about the, what they have, 15:09 and the first day at clinic here 15:12 that that was a real eye opener for me. 15:15 Because, you know, it wasn't just the clinic waiting room 15:19 that all the halls in the hospital 15:22 were full of people sitting with a hope. 15:26 They didn't have appointments, 15:28 sitting with a hope that they could get some care. 15:32 And so, that, that really 15:37 affected me for coming. 15:41 It'll be exciting tomorrow morning, 15:42 we get to see some of the... 15:44 We're always in surgery week. 15:46 So we see the certain that those patients 15:48 but we don't get to see the results. 15:50 But we'll have that opportunity tomorrow when they, 15:52 you know, remove the patch and get to see their reaction 15:56 to having vision again. 15:59 So for Canvasback, I'd say that, 16:02 that would be the real reason for supporting Canvasback 16:06 is because of the opportunity 16:09 that they're providing for these people 16:11 to get some care that they wouldn't get there. 16:14 There are a lot of them, there's no way they could buy 16:17 a ticket to get off island, to go somewhere else 16:20 where there might be somebody that could give them the care. 16:25 So that that's I see the big part of Canvasback. 16:32 As a leader in the field of health in Micronesia, 16:35 Canvasback Missions has been helping people 16:38 reverse diabetes for years. 16:41 Yes, you heard correctly, reverse diabetes. 16:45 In addition, we are helping to reduce the incident 16:48 of heart disease. 16:49 At least 34 million people in the US have diabetes. 16:53 Many have no idea they have it until it's almost too late. 16:57 Many children have diabetes. 17:00 It's time to stop it in its tracks. 17:02 What's the key? 17:04 Certain foods, exercise and many other simple 17:07 yet critical items are combined to produce amazing results. 17:12 Log on to canvasback.org to download your own free copy, 17:16 written by renowned author Brenda Davis. 17:19

changing. 17:34 There were so many times when Jesus found Himself 17:37 by the seaside teaching and preaching 17:39 and sharing about God. 17:42 Jesus was God, but He came down here 17:45 to planet earth in human form. 17:47 So that He might share with people who God really was 17:49 because the devil had lied. 17:51 The devil still lies about how Jesus really is 17:55 who God really is. 17:58 He came down here to die for you and for me. 18:01 One day toward the end of His three and a half years 18:04 of earthly ministry, they captured Him, 18:06 they took Him, they beat Him, 18:07 they did all these things to Him, 18:09 and finally He stood before Pilate. 18:11 Pilate was the Roman who held Him up 18:14 before the people and asked 18:16 whether He should be crucified or not. 18:19 But then he said a very interesting thing. 18:22 He looked at Him and he said, "Behold the man, 18:25 behold the man." 18:27 I would invite you today to behold the man. 18:30 We behold Jesus, the great teacher 18:32 who overlooking the Sea of Galilee 18:34 begin sharing things that no one 18:37 had ever shared before. 18:38 Things have changed, hearts and lives, changed my life. 18:41 Maybe it's changed yours. 18:43 Behold the man, we see Jesus, who told the disciples 18:48 to cast out and go to the other side of the lake. 18:51 How in the middle of that lake He controlled the storm 18:53 because He was the creator of the universe. 18:56 Peter came to Him and said, "You know, Lord, 18:59 they've told us to pay taxes." 19:01 Jesus said, "Go to the sea, catch a fish, the first fish 19:05 and pull out a coin out of his mouth 19:08 and use that to pay taxes." 19:09 And that's exactly what he did. 19:11 Seems maybe hard to imagine hard to believe, 19:13 but not for the creator of the universe. 19:16 The disciples one time were fishing out on the sea. 19:20 They were casting their nets, they fished all night long. 19:24 And Jesus stood by the seashore and He called out to them, 19:28 "Cast your nets on the other side of the boat." 19:31 Well, it turned out that was the side 19:32 between He and the disciples. 19:36 They cast the nets in, after a little bit of argument 19:39 because they were seasoned fishermen. 19:40 They didn't want to listen to Jesus. 19:42 Cast the nets in, the catch was huge. 19:45 They pulled up this mighty catch. 19:47 Why? Because Jesus was the creator. 19:50 I invite you today to behold Jesus as the creator. 19:54 And Jesus we see Him just before the time 19:57 of the crucifixion. 19:58 He's in a Garden of Gethsemane. 20:01 He stayed under a tree, 20:02 He poured out His heart to the Father 20:04 because as the God man, He taken on human form, 20:07 human life and a young man in his early thirties, 20:10 He didn't want to die. 20:12 He really didn't want to die says, "Father, please, 20:14 if this cup can pass from Me, let it be so." 20:18 No word, nothing. 20:20 "Nevertheless, Father, not My will, 20:22 but Your will be done." 20:23 That happened three times, 20:25 not My will, but Your will be done. 20:28 Finally, He was completely resigned to the fact 20:31 that He would do the Father's will, 20:33 He chose to do the Father's will. 20:36 He was then captured taken to Pilate. 20:38 We're back to that scene, Pilate says, "Behold the man." 20:42 And then they took Him to Calvary's cross. 20:45 He laid down on that cross willingly 20:47 because that's why He came to planet earth 20:49 in order to die for you and me. 20:51 Laid there as they counted those nails into His hand, 20:54 into His feet. 20:57 He was bleeding, hanging there. 20:59 He looked at the crowd, said, "Father, forgive them. 21:03 They don't know what they're doing." 21:05 Truly, they didn't. 21:06 They were crucifying God Himself. 21:10 And then they took Him, placed Him in a tomb. 21:14 I've had the opportunity to be in that tomb, 21:17 to lay almost in that tomb. 21:21 And guess what? The tomb was empty. 21:24 I've had the wonderful opportunity. 21:25 The team and I have to film all over the world, 21:29 many places, and we filmed pieces of Buddha here, 21:32 pieces of Buddha there, 21:33 pieces of this one here, this one there. 21:36 They all integrate, but not Jesus, 21:38 that grave is empty, 21:40 because the Father called Him forth. 21:42 He raised to eternal life. 21:45 What a God we serve. 21:46 And He said, you know, this same Jesus, 21:48 He's going to come again in the same way. 21:50 He's going to come back to planet earth, 21:53 and He's going to take those to Himself 21:54 who committed their lives fully and completely to Him. 21:58 Today, behold Jesus. 22:00 When you behold Jesus, you see Him with Your own eyes. 22:03 He will change Your life. 22:10 All the stuff taped in this room, I take it, 22:11 that's not the normal scenario your team's doing. 22:15 Yes, it's genius, too. 22:16 I think if you look around every cabinet's packed 22:19 with equipments, but none of is ours. 22:22 And you can't take theirs out, right? 22:23 So they bring these bags and they tape them up 22:25 and label. 22:27 My daughter did the last year and my son did it this year, 22:29 they put it all up. Yeah, it makes it much easier. 22:32 It really helps with inventory too. 22:34 For example, we only have six air filters left to air, 22:37 you know, gas cases. 22:38 And so we can keep track of that. 22:40 And then what happens? Then we talk about recycling. 22:43 We're using, yeah, safely, yeah. 22:46 It's the mission field where we've got to do something. 22:48 It is, it is. You can't compromise. 22:50 So tell us before the patient shows up, 22:51 what's going to be happening here today? 22:53 All right. 22:54 So we have an elderly patient 22:56 with unusual disease for this area. 22:59 It's called age related macular degeneration. 23:02 And this happens to the elderly. 23:04 And the average lifespan is not very long here. 23:08 I know in Majuro, I believe it's like 55. 23:10 So I'd imagine it's not too different here. 23:12 So this is a disease that happens after age 50. 23:15 I got to stop here 'cause the average age is 55. 23:19 That's it. I believe it is in Majuro. 23:21 Like now for here, I suspect it's a little longer but... 23:24 But somewhere in that neighborhood. 23:25 Yeah, which is scary. 23:26 So definitely a lot shorter than it is. 23:29 It is, like infant mortality is really high. 23:31 It tends to spike, you know, infant mortality is high. 23:34 And then there's one more point in your life if you make it 23:36 through the 20s, then you're very likely 23:38 to make it to your 50s. 23:40 Wow, okay. 23:41 So this person has that particular... 23:43 They do. 23:44 They have age related macular degeneration, 23:46 which in the US is the number one cause 23:47 of vision loss in our retired population. 23:51 Here, you know, there's not very many retired 23:53 elderly people, but we have one 23:55 and she has cataract in both eyes. 23:58 And she has advanced age related 24:00 macular degeneration. 24:01 There's two types, a dry type, which is usually more mild, 24:04 slow progressing. 24:06 And then a wet type. 24:07 And the wet type is when you have bleeding 24:09 in the eye and rapid vision loss is severe. 24:12 What it does it cause central vision loss 24:14 and can cause peripheral 24:15 and very rarely like 1% of the time. 24:18 And we have a one percenter with us today. 24:19 So her blood broke through the retina, 24:22 spread out from the center and is in outer edges. 24:24 So what we're going to do is take the cataract out, 24:27 and then take the blood out of the eye, 24:30 and then check the macula. 24:31 We haven't really seen it yet. 24:33 We're presuming that's the diagnosis 24:34 because we could see the other eye. 24:36 So this is the removal of the cataract 24:39 in removing the blood 24:40 is that one part of the surgery or... 24:42 That's two separate parts, yes. 24:44 So traditionally, cataract surgery 24:46 and then they'd come back weeks or months later, 24:48 and do the other eye. 24:50 But since she here only two weeks? 24:52 All in one day, yeah. Okay. 24:55 So we'll get the blood out of the way 24:57 and then we'll check the macula, 24:58 and it's very possible we'll have 25:00 some healthy tissue back there 25:02 and make a huge difference for the patient. 25:04 But it's more likely that they'll be a scar 25:07 in the center. 25:08 And will make a moderate difference for the patient 25:11 meaning we can bring back her peripheral vision, 25:13 but she'll still have a blind spot 25:14 in the very center, 25:16 but peripheral visions usually much you walk around ambulate, 25:19 so you don't need someone taking care of you 24/7. 25:24 You're here two weeks, of course, 25:25 this time unfortunately you got cut short 25:26 because there was an emergency on the plane. 25:28 You had to go back to Hawaii. Yes. 25:30 But so you lost a day. 25:32 But typically, how many patients can you do? 25:35 How many cataract surgeries can you do? 25:37 So on a mission trip? 25:40 Well, the cataract surgeons, I'm a retina surgeon, 25:42 but so the cataract surgeons, I believe they did 25:45 a little less than 200 cataract surgeries alone. 25:48 So over 200 retina also. Two hundred? 25:50 Yeah, we're two weeks. So divide that by 10. 25:53 You know, 20 cases a day, so. 25:55 So it's what, in the US 25:59 a couple hundred thousand dollars worth of surgeries? 26:01 Yes. All free? 26:03 Yes. All free. 26:04 Wow. Praise the Lord. Yes. 26:07 Now, in your side of things, the retinal surgery. 26:10 You and I were talking some basic, 26:11 you have performed the first one 26:13 you think have been performed in Micronesia? 26:14 Correct. 26:16 Yeah, in last year, the first one 26:18 in the Marshall Islands. 26:20 I did have the benefit of speaking 26:21 with the retina specialists 26:22 who came out there two years before me. 26:24 The folks are doing the first retinal surgery 26:26 and he brought all the equipment. 26:28 And he found out there's no compressed gas 26:29 that you can run on the machines 26:31 when he got there. 26:32 So with that warning, I called out Atkin 26:34 and told them the situation 26:35 and their team at their research lab, 26:38 went out and purchased air compressor 26:41 and got the specs on it 26:42 and they made the fittings and adaptings 26:44 and they were amazing. 26:45 Oh, yeah, they were amazing. 26:47 I think they're trying to avoid credit for it, 26:49 but they deserve it. 26:51 My husband and I founded 26:52 the Ministry of Canvasback Missions 26:54 38 years ago to serve 26:56 the island nations of the Pacific. 26:58 From those humble beginnings, our medical 27:01 and dental super teams have been changing lives 27:04 and bringing hope to so many people. 27:08 Our teams volunteer their time and resources, 27:11 and all of our services are free. 27:14 But it does take funding to make it all happen. 27:17 That's where you come in. 27:19 Your financial support is needed. 27:21 Please join us in changing lives, 27:24 one miracle at a time. 27:28 You know, if you'd like to be 27:29 a part of this exciting ministry, 27:30 you can write us at Canvasback Missions, 27:32 940, Adams Street, Suite R, Benicia, 27:35 California 94510. 27:38 You can log on to canvasback.org 27:41 or call us at (707) 746-7828. 27:46 Thank you for watching. 27:47 Please join me again for another exciting 27:49 island adventure. 27:50 Remember, Canvasback is making an impact on hearts and lives, 27:54 one miracle at a time. |
