We sure will. 00:49 Matter of fact, it's gonna be the pastor Mark Hyde, 00:52 who is a graduate 00:54 of the Mission College of Evangelism. 00:56 And his dynamic Girl Friday, Angela Hyde, 01:01 who is a nutritionist with the University of Tennessee. 01:04 But that's the last time 01:05 we're gonna mention them by those name 01:07 because they're Bible Patrolman team. 01:10 Welcome to the program, Bible Patrolman. 01:13 Thank you for having us. 01:14 It is a delight a have a super hero in our studio. 01:20 I see you didn't wear your cape today. 01:22 Yes, I didn't. 01:23 But you got the robe of Christ's righteousness. 01:25 Isn't that right? Yes, I do. 01:27 So tell me, how did this all come to be? 01:29 Well, the Bible Patrolman, it is very interesting. 01:33 You know, I moved from Colorado. 01:36 I got a call to come to Memphis, Tennessee. 01:40 And upon leaving Colorado, 01:43 one of the members there at church 01:45 that I was pastoring at, was so gracious enough 01:47 to give me a Crown Victoria car. 01:50 Yeah and so we-- Gave you a Crown Victoria car? 01:52 That is correct. Yes. A Crown-- 01:54 Okay, that's probably a special model now, right, 01:57 it's a collector's item. 01:58 Yes. Yeah, a Crown Victoria car. 02:00 And so coming to Memphis 02:02 and working at the church there in Memphis, 02:05 my job was to go out into the community 02:08 because they have a long list of potential members. 02:13 And so I-- my job was to visit these individuals 02:16 and see how I could get them to be 02:19 actually a member of the church. 02:20 And so I would drive my Crown Victoria to their-- 02:23 To their homes and I would go and knock on the door, 02:26 and I wouldn't get no response. 02:29 But as I was there, knocking on the door, 02:31 I could see someone looking out through the window, 02:34 you know, like through the blind. 02:36 And I would hear in the background, 02:37 they would yell out, "It's the police," 02:40 you know, and so they-- no one... 02:42 And what would they do? They dashed away? 02:44 They dashed away because-- Close the blind. 02:45 Yes, and so 02:47 because it was a Crown Victoria, you know-- 02:49 All right. May be you had a police car. 02:53 Yes. It was a Crown Victoria. 02:54 Someone gave you that one. 02:56 Yes, yes. That's kind of interesting. 02:57 But it was-- Yeah. 02:59 It wasn't, you know, in Colorado, 03:02 it wasn't a police car. 03:04 It was just a car. It's just a car in Colorado. 03:06 But when you came to Memphis... 03:08 Yes. 03:09 They had just adopted those wonderful vehicles 03:12 as part of their police force. 03:15 Memphis' finest. Yes. Yes, yes. 03:17 And so, and so we were there going in-- 03:20 And so I went home that afternoon 03:23 and I was like literally crying to my wife, 03:26 and saying nobody is coming... 03:29 Yes. Nobody coming to the door. 03:30 Because I was very passionate about, 03:32 you know, doing my work. 03:33 And no one was turning up, 03:35 you know, day after day, no one. 03:36 And so I said, we have to- Wait, wait, wait. 03:38 Everyday you're going-- 03:41 And they are ducking and hiding. 03:42 That is correct. That is correct. 03:44 And so, and so I said to my wife, 03:47 we have to do something. 03:48 And so, you know, we were there, 03:50 we sat at the dinner table at that time, 03:52 when we just moved to Memphis, 03:53 I was staying with my mother-in-law. 03:56 And so we all gather around the table 03:58 and we say this, we have to come up 03:59 with a name to put on this car, 04:01 so that we, you know, they can know 04:03 that it's not the police. 04:04 And we deliberated for a good two hours 04:07 trying to come up with a name. 04:09 And for some reason, I had to go out to the car 04:11 to pick up something out of the car. 04:12 And I kid you not, as soon as I put my hand 04:15 on the latch to open the door, the name hit me, 04:18 "Bible Patrolman." 04:20 "Bible Patrolman." 04:22 And that's it. And it's been history. 04:25 It's been history. That is an incredible story. 04:27 Yes. Wow! 04:30 So you became Bible Patrolman because of the car. 04:33 Because of the car. The car. 04:34 Yes. 04:35 But you're already gonna be out there. 04:37 Giving the word of God. That is correct. 04:38 You had a find a way to meet the people. 04:40 Oh, my, talk about Paul. 04:42 Doesn't Paul say something about 04:44 being something to all people so he could reach them? 04:46 Yes, because I was not gonna get rid of my Bible-- 04:49 The Crown Victoria, you know. 04:51 So-- That was a free car. 04:52 That is correct. Praise God. 04:53 That is correct. Wow! 04:55 So what happened after-- 04:57 so then how did you dress up the car? 04:59 Did you, kind of, you know, soup it up and everything? 05:01 Or does it has special features in it? 05:03 We didn't actually soup it up. 05:05 But what we did, we went to one of the local stores there 05:08 and we got one of those big magnetic stickers. 05:12 And they made up the name, "Got a question? 05:15 Who're you gonna call? Bible Patrolman." 05:18 And so-- So cool. 05:19 Yes, and so we put it on the side of the car 05:23 and we were driving around in town with my number, 05:25 everything on that. 05:27 And I tell you, it took off from there. 05:28 So what did people do? 05:30 Okay, now before, before Bible Patrolman, 05:32 before the Bible Patrol car, ride, 05:36 people were running and hiding from you. 05:38 That is correct. 05:39 But when you got the logo and once you got everything 05:42 set up for Bible Patrolman, what happened? 05:45 Some nights, I have to turn off my phone 05:46 because it just kept on blowing up. 05:48 So did people, I mean, when you came 05:50 into the neighborhood with Bible Patrolman, 05:52 what did the kids do? 05:54 What did the community do? 05:55 People was, it was, so-- 05:57 I don't know, if they're shocked 05:59 because they couldn't believe it, 06:00 because they're used to seeing that as police car. 06:03 And now they see, Bible Patrol-- 06:05 Is this for real? 06:07 You know, that was the question. 06:08 "Is this for real?" 06:10 "Bible Man. Is that serious?" 06:12 They came up and talked to you, did they? 06:13 Yes. Yeah. 06:14 Did you ride the car too, this one? 06:16 Of course, I rode in the car. 06:17 Girl Friday rode the Bible Patrolman. 06:18 That's so cool, team effort. 06:20 Yes, yes, yes. 06:22 So what kind of work does the Bible Patrolman do? 06:25 Well, what the Bible Patrolman does, 06:27 the Bible Patrolman goes out into the community 06:30 and better yet, some people are familiar 06:32 of what we call, Bible Workers, you know. 06:34 And so basically it's on the, kind of, 06:36 the same line, as a Bible Worker. 06:38 And what does a Bible Worker do? 06:40 Well, a Bible Worker, what we do, 06:41 we go into their home, sit down 06:43 and explain the word of God, to individuals. 06:46 You know, one of thing that we found out 06:47 that there are a lot of people who are becoming anti-church, 06:51 you know, and so they-- 06:53 feel more comfortable in their own home. 06:55 And so the Bible Patrolman 06:57 offer that service free of charge to them. 06:59 And so we will go into their home, 07:01 and sit down with them, 07:02 and my wife as it would go with me. 07:04 And we go there, she would deal-- 07:05 sometime we have little ones, 07:08 you know, sometimes they're very distracting. 07:09 And oh, she is gifted with the kids. 07:11 She is gifted. 07:12 And so she would keep the attention with the kids 07:15 and then I would deal with the adults 07:17 and explain the word of God to them. 07:19 So how did you get in the homes? 07:20 How did you get the-- 07:22 How did you know which homes 07:23 that would be willing to have you come in? 07:25 Well, sometimes, what I would do? 07:27 I would just say. 07:28 Today, I'm gonna blanket a neighborhood. 07:30 And I would just start knocking a neighborhood. 07:32 But when the car came out, 07:35 as I said, calls were coming in, I couldn't-- 07:37 You have a phone number on your car? 07:39 That is correct, the phone number-- 07:40 Do you have special horn? 07:42 No. Is there certain colors? 07:44 The car is just white... What color is your car? 07:45 The car was white. Is it white and black? 07:47 White and with blue writings. 07:50 Yeah. Yes. 07:51 So, you know, it was just as I said, 07:53 it was just a typical police car. 07:55 But what color is the car itself, not just the-- 07:57 The car is white. 07:59 The car is all white. All white car, yes. 08:01 Okay, at Memphis, police cars are all white? 08:03 That is correct, with the blue trim. 08:05 With a blue trim? Yes. 08:07 Okay, so your car is all white with the blue trim. 08:11 With a blue-- With a blue logo. 08:12 Blue logo. Yes. 08:15 It's so cool. I just love it. 08:18 Yes. 08:20 So when you say you're gonna blanket a community. 08:21 What do you do? 08:23 Well, when I go into the community, 08:24 I say today, I'm gonna focus on this community. 08:26 And so I'm going there and I start knocking on doors, 08:28 you know, knocking on doors and... 08:30 Do you have a uniform? 08:31 Well, this is, this is,-- This is it. 08:32 This is it. Okay. 08:34 This is what we wear here. 08:35 And we go out into the neighborhood 08:37 because we want to be different 08:38 and, you know, make people know who we are. 08:40 Or sometimes, if I don't have the uniform, 08:42 I have a badge, you know, that I put on 08:45 and people would identify and know exactly, 08:46 because one of the thing with people, 08:48 you knock on door, people want to know 08:50 exactly who you are. 08:51 Of course. And so. 08:52 And so they would identify because they look on the badge 08:54 and they see, okay, you know, some neighborhood I go in, 08:58 if one day I may not have the uniform 09:00 and you go into some neighborhood, 09:02 they would identify you as probably somebody 09:04 doing insurance or something. 09:05 So you have to have on the badge 09:07 to distinguish yourself from those people. 09:10 Okay, now certain areas of certain urban cities have-- 09:15 You know, not everybody goes over to the certain areas. 09:19 You know what I'm saying. 09:21 How was that dealing with individuals 09:23 that are in charge unofficially of certain areas? 09:27 Well, well, what, what I have run into 09:29 because I've been into certain areas, 09:31 and as soon as I get in to the areas, 09:33 you know, somebody would look out that door 09:35 and they would call "The police." 09:38 Yes, yes. They would call "The police." 09:40 And next thing I know, I see some lights flashing 09:42 behind me and they would say to, 09:44 "What are you doing in the neighborhood?" 09:46 And I tell them exactly what I'm doing in the neighborhood. 09:48 Some would say "it's okay." 09:50 But some would gently ask me to leave the neighborhood. 09:53 But there have-- Go ahead, go ahead. 09:55 There have been areas that he has gone in 09:59 and he's been accused of the being "the snitch." 10:02 Oh, okay, by the local unofficial establishments, 10:07 sure, sure say that. 10:08 Yeah. Okay. 10:09 So they said that he was a snitch? 10:11 Right, they thought that he was-- 10:13 Yeah, let's explain it for our viewers 10:15 exactly, what is a snitch? 10:17 Well, this would be an individual 10:18 who would report to the authorities, 10:22 things that were not necessarily lawful, so-- 10:27 Illegal activities. Right. 10:29 With a monitory value attached to that. 10:31 You guys, if you can read between the lines there. 10:34 Yes, okay. 10:35 So in one particular area, 10:38 you know, and I would really pray for him 10:40 because I knew that he was not going to stop, 10:44 going out into the communities, and witnessing to people, 10:47 and providing just the Bible studies, 10:51 the base lessons and just opening the doors 10:54 for individuals to receive knowledge about God. 10:57 And so, but there were times, like I said, 11:02 that he was accused of being a telltale person, 11:07 a tattle-tale rather, person. 11:10 Or a snitch. Right. 11:12 But those individuals started to come around as well 11:16 as far as being receptive to him. 11:18 How did that come to be? 11:20 Did you hold conversations with said individuals? 11:24 Yeah, well, one of the thing-- 11:25 And that's, you know, the thing that make's me sometimes, 11:28 I say a little bit different, as you used the term again, 11:30 you know, going into a neighborhood, 11:32 I just don't go into a neighborhood 11:34 just trying to share the gospel 11:36 and run out of the neighborhood. 11:37 If I'm in a neighborhood and I saw a group of young men 11:40 or people sitting underneath a tree 11:43 and just sitting there, I go there, I pull up a chair, 11:46 you know, and I sit with them. 11:48 Yes, I just sit with them, and we talk, 11:50 and then so they get comfortable and so... 11:52 And you had the Bible Patrolman gear 11:54 and going right up to those young guys. 11:57 And we sit there and it's just, just awesome. 12:00 And so they got comfortable 12:01 when they see the Bible Patrol, "What's up, Bible Patrol?" 12:04 You know, and so they got comfortable, 12:07 and so they understood 12:08 that I was not in the neighborhood 12:10 to report anything that they were doing. 12:12 And so they got comfortable 12:13 because I was there with them, you know, on a regular basis. 12:17 Yeah. 12:18 They figured out that he was not a threat to them. 12:21 Okay, so Girl Friday, I got to ask you. 12:23 When Bible Patrolman. I love it. I love it. 12:27 When Bible Patrolman decided 12:28 that he was going to take it on, 12:32 where did you decide that 12:34 your role would be in all of this? 12:36 Well, because ministry 12:39 has always been with us, since we-- 12:42 Before we came together in marriage, 12:44 he was doing ministry and I was also doing ministry, 12:48 preaching or teaching something. 12:51 When we came together, 12:52 Lord blessed us just to continue. 12:56 And the Bible Patrol was just like 12:59 another extension of, of the ministry 13:01 that had already been going on. 13:03 Things that he'd already been doing, 13:05 it was just on another level. 13:08 There were times, I must admit, 13:10 that when he would go out into the communities 13:12 and it started getting a little late, 13:16 I just would be a little bit concerned. 13:19 But I prayed and just asked God to keep him 13:22 and He has continued to keep him, 13:25 throughout those days, throughout these days. 13:27 Now, how-- how many years 13:28 have you been Bible Patrolman? 13:31 Oh, wow, Bible Patrolman now is celebrating this year, 13:34 12-year anniversary. 13:36 12 years! 13:37 12 years. 13:38 Wow. 13:40 And it expands, not just to Bible study, 13:43 but we've, you know, going into the homes, 13:46 we've managed to meet individuals by the fire side. 13:50 And when we do that we find out about their needs. 13:52 Sometimes there's a need for food. 13:54 Sometimes there's a need for clothing. 13:56 Sometimes there's a need for professional counseling. 13:59 So we're not just going in now presenting the gospel, 14:05 we're providing for the needs of those families, 14:08 as best we can. 14:09 And to just see the joy on the faces sometimes 14:14 when you come back with a basket of groceries, 14:17 or when you come back with maybe a coat or a sweater 14:21 'cause while you were giving the study, 14:23 you looked and you saw somebody shoes 14:25 not looking like they needed to look, 14:27 or a child not having a coat or something like that. 14:30 And then when you come back and you bring it, 14:33 they realize, these people are serious 14:35 about me and my needs. 14:38 They're not just out to get a Bible study or, you know, 14:41 just the people coming through the neighborhoods, 14:43 knocking on the doors, and then they're gone. 14:45 They realize that we were serious 14:47 about having a relationship with them that was genuine. 14:52 And so it's been very rewarding, very rewarding. 14:55 Wow, so 12 years, that's a long time. 14:59 How have you guys kept this going? 15:00 I mean, you're talking about buying groceries and shoes, 15:04 how have you kept this funded? 15:05 Well, you know, to be honest with you, 15:07 people see what we're doing and they wanted to-- 15:11 Sometimes people want to be with something that is good, 15:13 if I can use that. 15:15 And so sometimes, we would go 15:17 and because people found out where we were living. 15:19 And sometimes we would go home 15:20 and I would literally see on my doorsteps, 15:23 bags of clothes that people just dump-- 15:27 When I say dump, but just put on my doorstep, 15:29 just because they know that we are helping the people. 15:31 And so people would call and would give-- 15:33 And one other thing that went off to in the city, 15:36 it so happened that one day-- 15:37 You're asking how do we support. 15:39 You know, one of the local newspaper, a car, 15:44 they were driving past the Bible Patrol 15:46 and they saw the Bible Patrol car, 15:48 and they called the number. 15:51 And they say, "Is this the Bible Patrol?" 15:52 And I say, "Yes." 15:54 She says, the young lady says, "I'm from this local newspaper, 15:57 could I meet with you?" 15:58 And she asked and I said, "Yes." 15:59 And she met me at one of the local restaurant. 16:01 And it took off from there because she wrote a article 16:04 and put in the local newspaper. 16:06 And as a result of that, people started calling. 16:09 And people start giving. "Oh, can we donate to this? 16:11 Can we donate to this?"

The same thing. 20:56 How was it received over there? 20:58 It was-- well, one of the thing 20:59 that we found out that people 21:01 even in those other third world countries, 21:03 if you want to use that word, 21:05 sometimes are more-- even more receptive, 21:07 than here because some of them 21:09 are actually doing the work. 21:10 When we go into those countries, 21:12 we found out that the laity, those people who are so-- 21:14 we consider sitting in the pews, 21:16 they are the one going out and doing the work. 21:18 So with me going there it was just an asset, 21:22 you know to them, to helping them going out 21:24 because they're already doing those kind of works over there, 21:27 in those countries. 21:29 Wow, that's awesome. Yes. 21:31 That's awesome. 21:32 So what's been the result of-- 21:35 Have you made more than one trip? 21:37 Have you taken this Bible Patrolman, 21:39 hit the airways more than once? 21:41 Or was it one trip? 21:43 Three times we went to Mexico. 21:44 Three times. We went to Mexico. 21:46 Donned in his cape, flew across the ocean. 21:50 I love it. 21:52 We went to Mexico and we went to... 21:53 Mexico. Yes, we went to Tanga. 21:55 And we went to the island of Fiji 21:57 and yes, we also did some work there, 22:00 in my home country in Jamaica. 22:02 So I want to ask you about Mexico, 22:04 when Bible Patrolman went to Mexico, hablas espanol. 22:07 No, no. What we... 22:10 So how did Bible Patrolman 22:11 get around with no hablas espanol? 22:12 We had. No hablar espanol. 22:14 We had interpreter there that we worked with, 22:17 even in Fiji when I preached, not in Fiji, with in Tanga, 22:22 when I preached there I had a interpreter, 22:24 you know, so we had somebody to... 22:25 So you had to train this assistant, 22:27 so you had to give him all the orientation 22:30 for Bible Patrolman, so that he would know 22:32 what to do or did he just interpret. 22:34 He just interpret, because the interpreter 22:36 was there actually, it was someone 22:38 that was from the island, 22:39 that flew with us from California. 22:41 And so he was aware of that and so we went there. 22:44 I understand that besides Bible Patrolman 22:48 and Girl Friday, that there is a another person 22:51 that's a part of the team, 22:52 lets welcome him on the set right now, 22:56 General, the awesome Joseph. 23:01 Joseph, how are you doing?

I enjoyed it so far. 23:20 I learned different things. 23:21 I go to different Bible studies with him. 23:24 And I learned how to share my faith at my school 23:27 and different places with different people. 23:28 Okay, so have you done any preaching yourself? 23:32 I have, I recently, not too long ago, 23:34 preached at Way 2 Life. 23:36 And I gave a message 23:39 and the people really enjoyed it there. 23:41 Okay, so Bible Patrolman, what all does Joseph do 23:45 as far as a team? 23:46 What talents does Joseph have? 23:48 Well, one of the thing that, you know, is very helpful 23:51 from Joseph's perspective, you know, going out 23:53 and doing ministry these days, 23:54 you want to reach the younger crowd. 23:56 And Joseph brings that to the table 23:58 because he, now even with technology 24:01 and taking pictures and then showing, 24:03 "Daddy, this is how you need to do it to, 24:04 kind of, reach the young people." 24:06 And so he's a great asset to the team 24:09 because he, you know, sometimes, 24:10 you know, we don't have that young people mindset 24:13 and he brings that to the table. 24:16 Okay, so Joseph, what kinds of things have you done 24:18 to keep Bible Patrolman current? 24:21 I'm trying to get Bible Patrolman 24:24 on the technology, social sites, 24:26 trying to get him to, get on the social media. 24:29 Facebook?
