00:22 - Hello and welcome to "Jesus for Asia Now." 00:24 I'm Natalie Wood and my husband Jon is joining me today, 00:27 as we bring an update to a project, 00:29 that is living under difficult and dangerous circumstances, 00:32 but they do it in order to reach the people. 00:35 Hi, darling, where are you taking us today? 00:37 - Well, it's a place we've been to before, 00:39 and In fact, we've had the missionaries that are there, 00:43 actually here in our studio. 00:45 - Right, right. Mike and Michelle Cortez, 00:47 - [Jon] Yes. 00:48 - are their names. 00:49 And they're living in South Philippines, 00:51 on a big Island called Mindanao. 00:53 - Okay. 00:54 - And they're not on the coast, 00:56 where most of the Adventists are and the Christians are. 00:58 They're way up in the mountains, 01:00 where it's kinda dangerous. 01:02 - Hmm. Yeah, Yeah. We've heard some stories from them, 01:06 over the years. 01:07 - Yeah. We first met Mike, when we moved to Idaho 2005. 01:11 He was going to the same church that we started going to, 01:14 and that was the beginning of "Jesus for Asia." 01:16 - Right 01:18 - And he was in the congregation, really nice guy, 01:21 friendly, outgoing, loved the Lord, 01:23 and a very encouraging person to be around. 01:25 - Right. (chuckles) 01:27 - And he started coming to our Faith Camps. 01:29 And I remember one day we were actually at a men's retreat. 01:36 It was like eight of us or 10 of us. 01:37 And he was sitting behind me and I was thinking, 01:41 man, you know, Mike, 01:42 he should really get involved with God's work. 01:44 So I turned to him and says, 01:45 "Mike, why don't you you do something for God?" 01:48 And he told me later, he was shocked by that, 01:51 because he was sitting behind me thinking, 01:53 I wish I had a ministry like he has. 01:56 I wish I could work for the Lord like he does. 01:58 And I turned around and said, "Why don't you do that?" 02:00 And he was just so taken back. 02:02 And how did he find out about a Mindanao? 02:06 - Well, he met this girl online. 02:07 (laughs) 02:09 A lovely lady, actually, Michelle. 02:12 And this is a picture of the two of them together, 02:14 Mike and Michelle. 02:15 They got to know each other a little bit. 02:17 And their story, I think they've shared here before. 02:20 And so, I won't tell the whole thing again, 02:22 but God really worked. 02:24 I mean, God was very clear that they were to be together, 02:28 and they were to minister together for these people. 02:31 - Yeah. And so, he went to visit her, 02:34 and she lives in Mindanao. 02:37 - And so, he was visiting and he's like, 02:38 "What about all these people up in the mountains, 02:40 that no one's going to witness to them?" 02:43 So, that burden just really grew on his heart. 02:46 And then after they were married, 02:48 they started sending Bible workers up into that area, 02:51 and then they felt convicted after a few years, 02:53 and they moved there full time. 02:56 And they bought some property up in the mountains, 02:58 and they have a clinic and a garden and a radio station, 03:02 and we're gonna look at that, 03:04 see what's happening there today. 03:06 - Right, right. We've got several videos today, 03:09 and we wanna to jump right into them, 03:11 because it's gonna take some time, 03:13 and we don't wanna miss out on any part of the story. 03:16 So, this first video, what are they doing? 03:18 - They're going out to visit the different villages. 03:21 Now, it's not very safe to travel there. 03:25 So, we don't have a lot of footage, 03:26 and we don't have a lot of different villages. 03:30 Our videographer, we had to kinda like protect him. 03:33 Just to give you an idea of 03:34 some of the things that we're up against. 03:36 There was forces in the village below them, 03:39 that was actually sending water shells, 03:42 to the village above them. 03:45 (chuckles) Some water shells were being lobbed over, 03:49 where they were living, 03:50 and like, 80 people died in the village above them. 03:54 So, this is, you know, they've got different forces, 03:57 that are happening around that area. 04:01 - Hmm. Wow. 04:02 - Well, let's just go ahead and go right into that. 04:04 Let's show some video about the project, 04:07 and what's happening there in the villages. 04:09 - Okay. 04:10 (cool music) 04:17 - Back at Faith Camp, when we claimed our inheritance, 04:20 and as the Lord led, he led us to the top of a mountain. 04:24 And that mountain was the sanctuary where the insurgencies, 04:30 for the new people's army all began. 04:33 But this place is where we stood, 04:35 and looked over the mountains. 04:36 We claimed these mountains as our inheritance. 04:39 And it was here that one of our first churches was built. 04:44 Later, though the church had to be taken down, 04:48 because he got sandwiched in the war, 04:49 and the bullets were flying, 04:51 and they had to move the church down the mountain, 04:54 to a place called Huwawi. 04:56 We had a school in the area for six months, 04:58 until we were asked to leave. 05:00 And we still have a heavy, heavy burden for the area there. 05:05 (cool music) 05:16 Right now, we're in an area that, 05:19 we've been in for a lot of years now, 05:22 doing vacation Bible schools, 05:24 and we got church established here. 05:27 We almost had a second search established here. 05:30 We had Bible workers in the area, 05:32 and they were almost killed. 05:35 The war broke out in front of the church, 05:39 that night while they were waiting for the next morning, 05:41 to come back to the mission post. 05:44 There were insurgencies, outside people from the insurgent, 05:48 and they were saying, "We're gonna kill the missionaries. 05:50 "Let's just do it now. Let's just kill them, 05:52 "get it over with now." 05:53 And for some reason they couldn't enter. 05:55 (cool music) 06:00 We're always looking for remote areas, 06:02 that have a large tribal, 06:03 or a hundred percent tribal presence. 06:05 And we're working in areas of course, 06:07 that are in the middle of the war zones, 06:10 because that burden has been put on us, 06:13 to try and give the young people a new vision, 06:16 besides just killing each other. 06:17 (motorcycle engine roaring) 06:19 Today we wanna talk about the elder and his story. 06:24 He was a drunkard and a fighter, brawler ,gambler, 06:29 abusive in his home and found God. 06:34 Many times through his life, 06:35 he'd been approached towards the truth, 06:38 and kind of just rejected it, pushed it away. 06:42 But when the missionaries were finally here, years later, 06:45 he couldn't shake it off. 06:47 (cool music) 06:51 - (speaking in foreign language) 06:59 So before he became an Adventist, 07:02 he was a Catholic, Roman Catholic. 07:06 And then the good thing before, 07:09 he's not being forbidden to do anything, 07:12 and there's no prohibitions. 07:14 He can do whatever he wants. He can hit somebody. 07:17 2014, when the ministry of GoBeDo Missions, 07:21 came in their place, he was convinced to listen to them, 07:25 and hear the 28 fundamentals. 07:30 What was important to him was just the three major topics, 07:33 about food, Sabbath, and why Adventist people, 07:37 don't bow down to images. 07:40 And when he heard all about those truth, 07:43 he was totally convinced. 07:47 So, before he was finished with the 28 fundamentals then, 07:50 he just gave up and surrender to God. 07:55 (speaking in foreign language) 07:59 - He said before, they were just being called Christians, 08:02 but they were not taught how to 08:04 have a relationship with Christ, 08:06 but now, they have family worship, which bind him, 08:12 to have a good relationship with his family, 08:14 and with his family to the community. 08:17 And then all of them, all of the good teachings, 08:20 that he had heard and he's been doing, 08:24 can be found in the Holy scriptures, 08:26 that's why he's very, very thankful, 08:28 because now there's peace in their home. 08:30 (cool music) 08:34 - And it wasn't just him. 08:35 The other elder in this church also, 08:36 had a similar story. He's not here with us today. 08:40 But life-changing stories for sure, 08:43 that that only comes from above and the power of God. 08:46 Because of many of the members here, 08:49 having to go to different places, 08:51 because of the livelihood being taken away here, 08:53 and also, because of the war that's often, 08:56 going on in this area, 08:59 there's a sincere desire from not only elder, 09:02 but from the mission that this church be revived. 09:06 And it's gonna take a lot of work. It's gonna take money. 09:08 It's gonna take laborers. 09:10 And we're lacking laborers at this present time. 09:13 It's hard to work in the mountains, 09:14 and it's hard to find people willing to come up here, 09:17 after all these years. 09:18 So, we need a lot of prayers, 09:21 that God will send forth more laborers, 09:24 because the harvest is truly ripe, 09:26 and we wanna see this church flourish. 09:30 We wanna reclaim the lost sheep, 09:34 and we want God to be honored here. 09:36 (cool music) 09:46 - In a recent email I received from him, 09:49 the village that they were working with, 09:52 has been identified as against the government. 09:55 And so, that village was surrounded by the army, 09:59 and three people have died there. 10:02 But they had the chieftain's daughter, 10:04 was living in their house, and will tell the story later. 10:09 But now we have another video, 10:11 that focuses on more of the work that they do. 10:15 - Okay. 10:16 (cool music) 10:23 - Years ago, when we first started the work here, 10:25 we taught Bible workers in a very conventional way, 10:29 the doctrines, and it wasn't working. 10:31 It wasn't working for reaching the heart, 10:34 and the cultural aspects of the people, 10:38 we're ministering to, they're tribal. 10:40 They sacrifice pigs and chickens to their God. 10:43 They worship rocks, water, trees. 10:47 So, we were asking the Lord, 10:49 "What can we do to reach this cultural divide?" 10:54 And the Lord told us that, "My way is in the sanctuary." 10:58 And it just popped out of the Bible, 11:00 my way is in the sanctuary. 11:02 (cool music) 11:05 So, we took the sanctuary model, the actual furniture, 11:09 and we realized that, 11:14 there was a perfect sacrifice to be made, 11:17 and that was in the Son of God. 11:20 He came to the world. 11:22 He gave up his seat next to the Father's, 11:24 on his Father's throne, 11:26 to become a sacrifice for us. 11:30 And not only that, but you can (mumbles) 11:33 that Jesus Christ is our high priest, 11:36 but that a man manly priesthood is no longer necessary. 11:40 That at the veil, when Jesus died, that was torn down. 11:44 And so, there's a lot of things that we can teach now, 11:47 in a visual, to help them realize that yes, 11:50 sacrifices where reality. 11:53 Your ancestors, they really had it right. 11:56 But here's the way that God intended it, 11:59 and God is trying to restore us. 12:01 He's trying to make us healthy and happy again. 12:04 And by having tribal Bible workers, 12:06 which came from that lifestyle, it gives a better impact. 12:10 (cool music) 12:14 Before Faith Camp, I gave my heart to this mission. 12:16 I was radio station manager in America, 12:19 I was the editor, 12:20 and God gave me some training in this field. 12:23 But throughout the years, it seemed like, 12:26 that wasn't gonna be something I would be doing. 12:28 We were so busy training Bible workers, 12:30 and living in a mission life. 12:32 And then just a few years ago, 12:34 the Lord began to open up the doors for radio for us. 12:37 And I was excited, 12:38 because I've always had a burden for radio. 12:42 Now, we've got a radio station, 12:43 that has potential of reaching over a million people. 12:47 Not only here on the mountain, 12:49 in places where they may not hear the gospel, 12:53 but also down in the coast, 12:54 where at a 4,000 foot elevation between a draw, 12:58 that goes two different directions of populated areas. 13:02 And this is an enormous opportunity for people, 13:06 not only of animals belief like the tribal people, 13:09 but also Christianity and Catholicism, Muslims, 13:12 because on the back side of us here, 13:15 is quite a few Muslim communities. 13:18 So, this is a wonderful opportunity to share God's word, 13:22 and we're looking forward to what God's gonna do with this. 13:26 (cool music) 13:29 Another aspect of ministry, 13:31 that God has opened up for me is cycling. 13:33 Being that we have a lack of help, 13:37 I'm forced to take care of my health. 13:40 And so, for all the years we've been here, 13:43 we've been paying taxes on our stipends, 13:46 and it hasn't been a big stipend. 13:48 And then somebody in... 13:49 when we went back to the US (mumbles) said, 13:52 "You need to talk to our tax guy." 13:54 So we did and he said, "Wait a minute. 13:55 "You've been doing your taxes wrong. 13:57 "We gotta do this right." 13:59 And we got this huge tax return in 2017. 14:02 And I talked to my wife, she said, 14:03 "Why don't you buy a bike?" 14:05 And so, I went out on a limb and prayed about it, 14:08 because we had already gotten to this point, 14:10 where everything we have is committed to the Lord. 14:13 I didn't want this to be any different. 14:14 So, my wife said, "Why don't you go ahead and do it?" 14:17 I said, "Oh yes, thank you, Lord. (laughs) 14:20 "Thank you wife." And I bought my Enduro bike. 14:24 Of course this country is full of trails. 14:26 Houses are on trails where there's no roads. 14:29 And I said, "Lord, I've committed this to you. You know. 14:33 "Now give me a ministry to use it for." 14:36 And the Lord has opened up that ministry, 14:38 through sharing steps to Christ and praying people. 14:42 (cool music) 14:47 And the wonderful thing is they speak English. 14:50 Here in the mission, there is not much English speaking. 14:52 It's tribal, and it's the local dialect of Bisaya. 14:56 So, sometimes I'm trapped and not understanding, 15:00 unless I'm teaching classes and my wife is translating, 15:04 or I'm preaching, I'm on my own. 15:07 My wife gets very tired and translating sometimes, 15:10 and living that double translated life, 15:13 and she needs to rest. 15:14 And so this was an outlet for me. 15:16 And, you know, I went in for a health check, 15:19 a heart check just last year. 15:21 My past life before Christian, 15:23 apparently did a lot of damage to my heart, 15:26 and I had plugged arteries. 15:29 The doctor said in my last test that, 15:32 my cycling had forced diversion roads, 15:36 providing the needed oxygen and blood to my heart, 15:40 that grew around my main artery. 15:42 He said "Just in time." 15:43 He said if it hadn't been for that, that I would have died. 15:47 So, this has been a threefold blessing in disguise, 15:51 and I'm just praising God for all the opportunities, 15:55 that he gives us. 15:55 (cool music) 16:03 - Amazing. - Yeah. 16:04 - Those guys live on the edge all the time. 16:06 - Right, right. But it's neat to see how the Lord has, 16:09 you know, kind of expanded the ministry, 16:11 into different avenues, 16:13 to reach different, you know, 16:15 different connections of people around them. 16:18 And he's given them the idea, 16:20 of showing all of the doctrines from the sanctuary. 16:23 That's so beautiful. 16:24 - Oh yeah. 16:25 - [Natalie] So beautiful. 16:27 - It's a picture of the grace of God, 16:29 and the plan of self of redemption. 16:32 It helps people understand some aspects of it. 16:35 - And the scripture says, 16:36 "Thy way oh God is in the sanctuary." 16:38 And so, if we wanna know the way, Jesus said, 16:41 "I am the way the truth and the life." 16:42 So, if we wanna know the way, 16:44 and we wanna show people the way, 16:45 it's so beautifully represented in the sanctuary. 16:48 - Absolutely. It's a beautiful message. 16:50 - Yes. Very much so. 16:52 - And I love how they take whatever, you know, the bicycle, 16:57 and they dedicate it to the Lord. 16:58 He's out there using the exercise to meet people, 17:01 that he wouldn't normally meet. 17:02 - Right. Well, I know we have one more video, 17:05 talking about some of the challenges that they experienced. 17:07 - [Jon] Okay. 17:09 (cool music) 17:15 - For me, I would never exchange my work for God, 17:20 with a high-paying job. 17:21 (cool music) 17:25 - There's been many incidences, 17:27 where we've encountered danger in the mountains. 17:31 For an example, I had just put brand new tires, 17:35 and inner tubes, heavy duty inner tubes in the 200cc Honda, 17:41 because the tires were completely destroyed. 17:44 So, we put new tires on that motorcycle, 17:46 and we had five other motorcycles with us that day, 17:48 and some of their tires were not that good, 17:51 but we got to a certain part in the mountains, 17:54 and we had a flat tire in the 200cc motorcycle. 17:59 And we spent like 25 minutes repairing the tire. 18:03 (cool music) 18:07 When we got to the next village, 18:09 people ask us if we had seen the 300 armed men, 18:13 that had just passed. 18:15 Well, we hadn't seen them, but we knew at that moment, 18:18 that the flat tire prevented us from facing them. 18:21 (cool music) 18:27 I remember Tim Maddix came over, 18:29 and did a mission trip with us one year. 18:32 And we were up here on this mountain in that hall, 18:35 and this was where the insurgency began back in the 1960's. 18:41 And we were eight hours away from any the nearest army base. 18:45 We were in a bright yellow tent. 18:47 It was bright yellow, 18:49 and we were right off the trail head at the top. 18:51 We were evangelizing. 18:52 We were pulling teeth. 18:53 We were doing a medical missionary trip. 18:56 But when we went down, the military took us, 18:59 and they interrogated us and they scolded us, 19:02 for not getting permission to go there ahead of time. 19:05 And he said, it was their anniversary. 19:06 What are you doing? 19:08 That place is covered with armed men right now. 19:11 We never saw them. 19:12 God is our witness. We never saw them. 19:15 But when we left, one of our members, 19:17 that was with us on that trip was taken by the other side. 19:21 And she was taking for three days and nights, 19:23 questioned about why we were there. 19:26 But they were looking for me everywhere, 19:27 and they couldn't find me, so they took one of our members. 19:30 But in any case, we were there for several days, 19:34 and they never saw us, bright yellow tent. 19:39 So, God shielded us, he must have shielded us. 19:41 (cool music) 19:45 - Oh, the first year in staying here is really, really scary 19:51 because we just live in a, I think 14 by 14 house. 19:57 It's made of "Amakan," you know, bamboo. 20:01 And I think there were like 14 of us, 20:04 staying in the small house. 20:08 - And at night time rubber boots would come in. 20:12 The insurgence from the communist party, 20:15 would come in around the house. 20:17 I'm a very light sleeper, and I would always hear them, 20:20 (inhales and exhales) 20:22 they're breathing around the thin bamboo walls, 20:26 that are surrounding us, 20:28 and we're not knowing if they have "bolos", 20:30 which are machetes or AK-47's. 20:33 All we know is that they're there. 20:35 And so I would wake up my wife next. 20:37 (background noise drowns out other sounds) 20:40 and she would wake up the Bible workers, 20:42 that were all with us and our children, 20:43 and we would quietly be inside praying to God. 20:47 Not only would we be praying for our safety, 20:50 but we would be praying for, we'd ask the Lord, 20:54 "Are we right with you?" 20:56 And that was what became most important. 20:59 In our mission here is God was showing us that, 21:01 we needed to be right with him. 21:03 Not sometimes, but all the time. 21:05 (cool music) 21:08 - The joy you have is really satisfying, 21:13 compared to the job that you can have with a big pay. 21:17 Although there are a lot of difficulties, 21:21 but for me, it's just not the people that are being blessed, 21:25 doing missionary work, my family are also been blessed. 21:30 (singing in foreign language) 21:34 - Over the years, we've lost some support. 21:38 People have written in and said, you know, 21:39 "We've seen the news over there. 21:42 "Get your family out of there, you know. 21:45 "Why do you insist on staying there? 21:47 "We're not supporting you anymore." 21:49 And all we can do is say, 21:52 "We haven't had permission to leave. 21:54 "Where else would we go?" 21:55 "The Lord gave us a calling over 10 years ago. 21:59 "We've got these young people surrounding us. 22:02 "Their lives are changed. 22:03 "They're healthy. They're not sick anymore. 22:08 "God is making a difference. 22:10 "We're just channels. We're just instruments." 22:12 But it's a joy to be an instrument. 22:15 It's, it's a joy to be a servant. 22:18 And so when you can see a family, or Phillies get it, 22:23 you know, and put their trust in a living God, 22:27 there's no greater joy for me. 22:31 Again, where would we go? 22:32 (laughs) 22:34 Where would we go? 22:35 (cool music) 22:47 - Wow. That's powerful. 22:48 - That is so powerful - You know, people saying, 22:49 get your family out of there, it's dangerous, 22:51 and he's like, "Where would we go? 22:53 "God, hasn't given us permission to leave." 22:55 And to think about that, you know, 22:58 that's really opposite from the way most of us think. 23:01 You know, we think, well, yeah, it's dangerous. 23:03 Let's get our family out of here. 23:05 But to be like, "Are we right with you Lord? 23:08 "And are we where you want us to be?" 23:10 Constantly asking. 23:12 And I know that's part of 23:13 what we're gonna talk about next is, 23:15 constantly asking God, "What do you want us to do?" 23:18 You know, in light of the fact that, 23:20 it's getting more dangerous. 23:21 They've had to move from some villages, 23:24 because of the danger there. 23:25 Because armed soldiers or armed men are there, 23:28 and, you know, it's like, to be willing to say, 23:32 "Lord, what do you want us to do?" 23:34 And then to stay put when that's the answer. 23:37 - Yeah. 23:39 - Right. Well, we want to move on to the next part, 23:40 which is update from the COVID-19 situation, 23:43 the coronavirus situation. 23:44 - Yes. Several months ago they started seeing fear, 23:48 on people's faces from the jungles, 23:51 and it was an unfounded fear. 23:53 They didn't know why they were afraid. 23:54 And so they also started seeing their donations drop. 23:58 And so, that's always been an indicator to them, 24:01 that God wants to communicate something. 24:03 And so, they took a whole week, 24:05 and spent it in prayer and fasting. 24:07 And out of that came this impression from, 24:12 many different people that was involved with that prayer, 24:15 that they should spend 80% of their time, 24:19 in planting food into the ground. 24:23 - And so, they have tried, you saw in the video that ox, 24:29 pulling the plow. 24:30 They've tried planting for many years, 24:31 and it's a limited success because, 24:34 they've got a lot of bugs. They don't use pesticides. 24:37 And in the tropics, you know, 24:38 they got a lot of species of bugs, 24:42 that come in that we don't really have. 24:43 So, they've had limited success, 24:45 but they started doing that, and then the Lord has blessed. 24:48 They even had a box of beans sent to them, 24:51 from somebody in the state several years ago, dried beans. 24:54 They went out and planted those, they all came up. 24:57 - And there's a picture of the miracle beans. (chuckles) 25:00 - And so now, this all happened before the lockdown happened 25:05 and the lockdown was very severe in the Philippines. 25:08 You can't leave your house. 25:09 You can't go anywhere and some parts. 25:11 And so, that was like just in time for this lockdown. 25:18 So, they haven't been hungry. 25:20 In fact, they've had so many veggies, 25:21 that they're able to share and help the other villagers 25:24 in the area that are suffering also. 25:26 So, here's a little video of the radio station. 25:30 You can see it's a very small recording room. 25:33 And here's the tower that looks a lot taller, 25:35 from the ground than it does from the air. 25:37 (laughs) 25:38 But it reaches a long ways. 25:41 And this is how they reach out even while they're at home. 25:44 - Wow. - Yeah. 25:46 Here's Mike in his recording studio, 25:48 and here's Michelle in the recording studio, 25:50 and they're putting these shows together. 25:53 - Okay. So now, we have the story, 25:55 of the chieftain's daughter. 25:56 - Yes. When she first came to their house, 26:00 she was very cold and she would look at you, 26:03 like she was looking through you. 26:05 She was just, and now this is the chief of the village, 26:11 that has been surrounded by the government army, 26:15 and three people have died. 26:17 This is like what I learned yesterday, so this is new. 26:20 But now the daughter is just warm. 26:24 - So, she's living with them. 26:25 With Mike and Mitchell? - She's living with them, 26:26 - Okay 26:27 doing the school that they have, 26:28 homeschooled type of schooling, 26:31 and learning the Christian way. 26:33 And obviously they have a lot of Bible studies, 26:35 and they have a lot of sharing time and things like that. 26:38 But now she's had such a huge change in her life. 26:41 She's warm and bubbly and a joy to be around. 26:44 And you can see in this picture, she's got a, 26:46 electric smile yes. (chuckles) - [Natalie] A happy smile yes 26:48 beautiful smile. 26:49 - So, these are the things that, 26:50 really make it all worthwhile. 26:52 A lot of people, you know, in their past life, 26:54 they were going for money. 26:56 They were going for the things of this world. 26:57 But now they don't have as much of the things of this world, 27:01 but they have the true gold. 27:03 The true riches, that's people, to change lives. 27:09 - Right. That's beautiful, that's beautiful. 27:10 And I know that's what keeps them going. 27:12 - Absolutely. 27:13 - In spite of the danger. 27:14 - It keeps us all going. 27:15 - Yeah. It's to tell people about Jesus, 27:18 and to see him work in their lives. 27:20 - Yes. So Mike and Michelle, they inspire me. 27:22 - Yeah. And they challenge us as well. 27:25 - Right. Sometimes living here in America, you know, 27:27 I wanna maybe upgrade something in my house, 27:33 and I think of Mike and Michelle. 27:34 I'm like, "You know what? 27:35 "That can wait until heaven." 27:37 (chuckles) 27:38 I wanna do something that's gonna be really impactful. 27:41 - [Natalie] Right, right. - Yeah. 27:43 If you would like to encourage Mike and Michelle, 27:45 to continue this work that God has put before them, 27:48 you can contact us at, 27:49 Jesus for Asia PO Box 1221, Collegedale, Tennessee 37315. 27:56 Call us at 423-413-7321, 28:00 or visit our website at, Jesus4asia.org. 28:03 May God richly bless you, 28:05 until we see you next time on, "Jesus for Asia Now." 28:08 (cool uplifting music) |
