00:01 Scattered across the globe,
00:02 Adventist World Aviation has mission outposts 00:05 strategically placed in rural locations. 00:08 Often, aviation is the only way to reach these remote villages, 00:13 tucked away within jungles, 00:15 or scattered along world unaddressed. 00:18 AWA connects the inhabitants of these villages 00:21 with the care that they need by employing aircraft, 00:25 traveling great distances, 00:27 AWA missionaries become a lifeline 00:30 to those who are in dire need. 00:33 Adventist World Aviation 00:34 is dedicated to saving people both physically and eternally. 00:39 With aviation, 00:40 AWA can reach those off the beaten track 00:43 and share the love of Jesus 00:46 to the seemingly unreachable of this world. 01:34 One of AWA's mission bases 01:37 is located in the Philippines on the island of Palawan. 01:41 This mission aviation base was established in 2005. 01:46 The base is centrally located, 01:48 enabling missionaries 01:50 to reach outlying areas with aircraft. 01:53 The Philippine Islands 01:54 are comprised of over 7,000 islands. 01:57 Some of these small islands are isolated 02:00 because boats cannot make the dangerous journey 02:03 to reach them during typhoon seasons. 02:06 Journeys that would take a week by boat 02:09 can be traveled in just a few hours time 02:12 with AWA aircraft. 02:14 For this reason, AWA was established here 02:17 to be able to support 02:19 the smaller outlying islands with aviation, 02:23 and help carry aid, 02:24 supplies and pastors to these remote islands. 02:29 The history of this project has not been a smooth one. 02:32 A couple years ago, 02:34 this project suffered some major setbacks, 02:36 has been sitting vacant ever since. 02:39 The LaBore Family have been missionaries 02:42 with Adventist World Aviation, serving in Guyana since 2005. 02:47 When the LaBores heard 02:49 of the needs of this project in the Philippines, 02:52 they prayerfully made the decision 02:54 to relocate from their mission field in Guyana 02:57 to this project in the Philippines 02:59 in an effort to revive 03:01 this much needed aviation outfit. 03:05 Our family started as missionaries in 2005, 03:08 we went to Guyana, South America. 03:09 And we spent over nine and a half years there 03:12 setting up a mission aviation program. 03:14 And we flew over 7,000 people in our airplanes, 03:17 affected a lot of lives down there. 03:19 It was a great work. We really enjoyed it. 03:20 God was a blessing in everything 03:22 that we did there. 03:23 And it's amazing, really that we did, 03:25 it was by His grace alone. 03:26 And when we saw the Philippines project 03:29 having some trouble a few years back, 03:31 I talked to the Pastor Rick Swaningson, 03:33 just mentioning that I would, 03:34 I would love to come down and just see what I could do 03:37 to help get it back on track. 03:38 And he thought that was a great idea. 03:40 You know, and I felt the experience 03:42 that we gained in Guyana would apply here 03:44 and we'd be able to really put some knowledge into 03:48 how we might set up a good program here. 03:50 And now that I'm here, 03:52 I feel even more encouraged that we're on the right track. 03:54 And this is really what God wants us to do. 03:56 And we know that we're going to see 03:58 some amazing things happen in His timing. 04:00 We have to be patient, but I know that He has a plan. 04:03 And I expect that will be gradually revealed 04:05 as we progress in this project. 04:07 So we're pretty excited about it. 04:08 When the LaBores transitioned here from Guyana, 04:11 they left the Guyana project 04:12 in very capable hands of other AWA missionaries. 04:17 Bill, Laura and their family are now ready to embark 04:21 on a new adventure of raising a project 04:24 from the ground and with God's blessings, 04:27 transform it into a very busy and active aviation base. 04:33 We're just really excited to be here. 04:35 We've been waiting for several years 04:37 to make the transition from Guyana to the Philippines, 04:40 we saw such a need here. 04:43 Our teammates are doing wonderful work in Guyana. 04:45 So we're really happy about that. 04:47 And we're just excited to be here in Palawan 04:50 and to pick up the project and take it to new levels. 04:54 The idea that, you know, 04:56 we might be able to be involved in some small way 04:59 of really bringing this thing to fruition 05:01 or maybe to the plan that God originally had for it. 05:06 Yes, it is emotional and as I think 05:10 there's no better place to be 05:11 than in the center of God's will. 05:13 And when you know that this is where God wants you, 05:15 there's a sense of connection you feel 05:18 with the Lord and that to me means a lot. 05:20 I just mean, that's why I'm a missionary 05:22 to be honest with you, I just like that. 05:24 I like to see God work, I like to be in situations 05:27 where I know I can't do it that God's going to have to work 05:29 and do it and I can see Him do things that just, 05:32 you just don't get to see back home often. 05:35 Reviving a project does not come without its challenges. 05:39 One of the first things that LaBores must do 05:41 when they arrive in the Philippines 05:43 is to find a place to live. 05:45 In essence, it's almost 05:47 as if they were starting the project from scratch. 05:50 When they arrived, 05:52 the LaBores had no housing waiting for them. 05:54 They arrived knowing that 05:56 they would need to construct a house 05:58 on the AWA property which currently lies vacant. 06:02 Making the best of the situation, 06:04 the LaBores pitched a couple of tents to live in. 06:08 One for Bill and Laura 06:10 and the other for their two children, 06:12 Danny and Micah. 06:14 This is their living accommodations 06:16 for the next couple of months 06:19 until a new mission house is built. 06:22 Here in Sapangan, 06:23 we are starting out with square one. 06:25 We are building a house. 06:27 As right now we have nowhere to stay. 06:29 We're staying in a tent. 06:30 We're living out of a tent is kind of interesting. 06:31 I mean, you know, 06:33 we've done it a lot and we've been camping. 06:34 This is the first time 06:36 I've actually had to live out of a tent 06:37 where I have to work in there. 06:38 That's where I do my computer work 06:40 and my correspondence and, 06:41 you know, all that kind of thing. 06:43 It's exciting. I think it's motivating. 06:46 I don't mind having to deal with living in a tent 06:48 knowing that things are going to change in the future 06:50 and the work we're doing now 06:51 will be a long-lasting legacy that we can leave here. 06:54 The Espinosa Family are AWA base managers 06:58 who have been working here for years. 07:00 While they awaited the LaBores to arrive, 07:03 they faithfully worked 07:05 within the community as missionaries, 07:07 ministering to their own Filipino people. 07:10 They eagerly awaited the arrival 07:12 of the LaBores 07:13 and are anxious to get this base 07:15 fully operational again. 07:18 And we're happy that the LaBores Family are here. 07:21 We've been waiting for it to come 07:24 because of many years 07:26 of without any manager you know, 07:29 we will start the operation 07:32 of flying the plane 07:36 and go to different places 07:38 to help, to help this, 07:42 the people in the Philippines 07:45 and we are so excited. 07:47 This project is not for our family 07:51 and for any individual, 07:52 but this project is for the Lord's. 07:54 Even when things seemed bleak, 07:56 the Espinosas have worked faithfully 07:59 to prepare for the arrival of the new missionary family. 08:03 They knew that God would bring someone here to this project. 08:07 Even as the years passed with no hope in sight, 08:11 the Espinosas faithfully continued their work 08:14 knowing that God had a plan for them 08:17 and for this aviation mission project. 08:21 I was in a missionary work 08:24 since I graduated in high school. 08:28 And my promise to the Lord is, 08:31 I will work even though no one asked me to do it. 08:34 We are thankful. 08:36 We are grateful for the Lord 08:39 that the long stay 08:45 here becomes getting brighter. 08:49 I mean, there is hope, there is, you know, 08:54 a little light come up 08:56 and maybe this light 08:58 will become more bigger and bigger 09:01 as the day went by 09:03 because our manager is already here, 09:05 and we praise the Lord for that. 09:08 Before the project can move forward, 09:10 the LaBores desperately need to secure a place to live. 09:14 The leadership of AWA 09:16 have a plan to bring that to a reality. 09:19 Some dedicated AWA volunteers 09:22 who work in construction, step forward 09:25 and offer to travel to the Philippines 09:28 to oversee the construction process 09:30 of the new missionary housing. 09:46 When the LaBores arrived in the Philippines, 09:49 all that awaited them was this dusty plot of land. 09:53 However, before long, this land will be transformed 09:57 into an aviation mission base 09:59 with housing, hangars and a runway. 10:03 As the construction crew arrives, 10:05 the LaBores are eager to get started. 10:08 They do not sit on the sidelines 10:09 and let other people do the work. 10:11 Instead, each member of the family 10:14 rolls up their sleeves and chips in 10:16 with the backbreaking construction work. 10:18 Day after day, they work in scorching hot sun 10:22 alongside the construction crew 10:24 to bring this house one step closer to reality. 10:28 First on their agenda 10:30 is preparing the land for construction. 10:32 The grounds need to be surveyed, 10:34 cleared and leveled. 10:36 Each of the LaBore Family members 10:38 finds ways to be involved 10:40 and lend a helping hand 10:41 to the professional construction crew. 10:44 Despite the LaBores inexperience 10:47 in construction work, 10:48 the skilled laborers mentor 10:50 each of the LaBore Family members 10:52 and teach them the skills 10:53 they need to be helpful on the construction site. 10:57 Next, they will need to procure water 11:00 for the construction site. 11:02 Water is imperative. 11:04 Without it, they cannot mix concrete 11:06 or the mortar to build 11:08 the block framework for this house. 11:11 They must find a permanent solution 11:13 to access water on this empty land. 11:16 Many years ago, 11:18 previous missionaries dug a well 11:20 here on this property. 11:21 The well project was never finished, however, 11:24 and laid abandoned for years. 11:27 The construction team is prayerful that 11:29 they can get this old well operational. 11:32 If they cannot, 11:34 they will have to dig a new well, 11:36 which will push them over budget. 11:38 The team is able to find materials 11:40 that they need for the well. 11:42 This well will pump water 11:44 from the ground into the drum 11:46 that sits in the high water tower. 11:49 The water will collect in the drum 11:51 and provide water pressure needed to supply water 11:54 for the construction process 11:56 as well as for the house once it is finished. 11:59 Even though they can access water from the old well, 12:02 it still needs to be tested 12:04 to make sure that the water 12:06 it brings is not contaminated and safe for use. 12:10 God greatly blessed this project, 12:12 because after testing, 12:14 it was determined that this water is safe 12:17 and that this well is fully operational. 12:20 This is excellent news. 12:22 The crew can move forward 12:24 with construction and the water tower. 12:27 They know that there is clean water 12:29 under the ground awaiting them. 12:31 They hoist the large drum up into the water tower. 12:35 Next, they need to install the piping 12:37 and the pumps needed to complete the system. 12:41 With this milestone finished, 12:43 they can finally break ground 12:46 and begin the construction process 12:48 on the house. 12:50 The construction site becomes busy 12:52 with activity as each person plays an important role. 12:56 The beginning stages 12:58 of the house are starting to take shape. 13:00 Forms are made that will soon be filled with concrete. 13:04 It is all hands-on-deck on this construction site. 13:07 Even the young children are instructed 13:09 and given tasks to help work on the house. 13:13 For weeks, this skeleton crew works tirelessly 13:17 in the open elements of scorching sun 13:20 or pouring rain, 13:22 they push forward with determination. 13:24 And efforts to help the LaBores transition 13:27 into more permanent living conditions, 13:29 Jud Wickwire, Vice President of Operations 13:32 for Adventist World Aviation has arranged for multiple teams 13:35 to travel to Palawan to build a missionary house 13:40 on a vacant piece of AWA property. 13:43 This land will be the new mission base 13:45 and will have on it missionary housing, 13:48 an airstrip, a hangar for the aircraft 13:51 and farmland. 13:53 So the mission house that we're building here 13:55 is for Bill and Laura LaBore. 13:57 They are, Bill is the project manager here 13:59 and Laura is the pilot for this project. 14:03 And we just are so excited to be able to help them 14:07 get established here with a home to be 14:10 able to work out of and to launch, 14:12 relaunch this work here in the Philippines 14:14 in a huge step forward with getting airstrip done, 14:18 a place for them to live. 14:20 Jud has traveled many times to this project, 14:23 often with dental teams and evangelical mission trips. 14:28 He has formulated a plan 14:30 to kickstart this construction project 14:32 and help get it one step closer to completion. 14:47 We just have a really exciting event 14:49 happening right now. 14:50 We're building a mission house 14:51 for the mission pilot project manager family, 14:54 and we have two groups 14:56 of students here on two back to back mission trips 15:01 to construct the house along 15:02 with a number of other volunteers 15:05 to get the concrete work done, 15:06 that sort of thing, but just been 15:07 an amazing experience for everyone. 15:11 To encourage the mission mindset, 15:13 Jud Wickwire has arranged 15:14 two separate mission trips of high school students 15:18 who will be involved in the construction project. 15:21 And, of course, a mission trip for youth 15:23 is far more than just coming 15:24 and building something for someone. 15:26 It's also a rich, spiritual, cultural experience for them. 15:31 And we want to make that 15:33 as abundant as possible for them 15:34 and a growth that 15:35 they can take back home with them for years to come. 15:39 The thing about these mission projects 15:41 is these young people are getting a chance to do 15:44 something with their hands 15:46 that is going to impact God's kingdom. 15:47 And they, I believe, 15:50 often receive the seed of missions in their heart 15:53 when they see this happen, I would not be surprised 15:55 if many of them come back to be missionaries. 15:58 You know, maybe not here but other areas of the country 16:01 because of their experiences they have here, 16:03 so it's pretty cool. 16:04 The first team of students to arrive 16:06 is from the Okanagan Adventist Academy in Kelowna, Canada. 16:10 This group of students will arrive to help 16:13 construct the walls and framework of the home. 16:16 The students might not have all the knowledge and skills 16:19 that they need to construct a home, 16:21 but they arrive with willing and eager hearts. 16:25 The primary work for them will to be assist 16:27 the skilled construction crew 16:29 and help them lay block and mix cement 16:34 for the advancement of the project. 16:38 When we arrived here, the construction was, 16:41 it was just bare bones, 16:43 there were just pillars and a foundation laid, 16:46 just kind of basically showing us 16:47 the outline of what would be the house. 16:50 On the first day all the kids went out there 16:52 and every hand was busy. 16:55 But it quickly became apparent 16:57 that it would be a lot of work 16:59 At first, it was a little daunting 17:00 because it was a bunch of tasks I hadn't done before. 17:04 But the guys on the job were really helpful. 17:06 And I learned how to work with cement 17:08 and I ended up laying some block, 17:11 which was really heavy, but it's really cool. 17:14 So I built a couple of walls. 17:16 So we got the foundation finished 17:18 by the time the academy groups arrived. 17:20 And the first one came, 17:22 we're so happy to have them, have more helping hands. 17:25 And they helped lay more block, mix more cement, 17:28 and we quickly built up the walls. 17:31 So God has provided just so many resources 17:33 to make this possible. 17:34 And it's come together as only God could plan. 17:38 Travis and Michelle Maloney came in advance 17:41 and began the groundwork for the construction, 17:44 got the construction far enough along that 17:46 when the students arrived, 17:47 they all had so many tasks that they could complete 17:50 and activities that 17:52 they could really sink their teeth into 17:54 and work hard mixing cement and laying block. 17:57 Just speaking from my own experience, 17:59 and I learned to lay blocks on mission trips years ago. 18:03 And it's a skill that 18:05 I don't necessarily excel at but I can, 18:08 I can do that. 18:09 And the only reason I'm able to do that is 18:10 because a leader on a mission trip 18:13 when I was younger took the time to show me 18:16 how to do that. 18:18 And so, in this case now with these young people, 18:22 the experienced construction people 18:23 are taking the time to show them 18:26 how to do some of these tasks. 18:27 We know, they're not going to be experts at them, 18:29 but at least they can have the exposure to some skills 18:32 that maybe they didn't know that 18:33 they can do and hopefully, they can apply 18:35 that in something that they do in the future. 18:39 Many hands make light work, 18:41 and the construction crew is able to work much quicker 18:44 with the extra help of the students from Canada. 18:47 Having students travel to the Philippines to be 18:50 part of the construction process 18:52 is only part of the reason they came. 18:54 For many, this is a life changing experience. 18:58 What impacted me personally 19:00 is just the whole concept 19:02 of being a missionary going to people, 19:04 complete strangers that you don't know, 19:07 and stepping out of your comfort zone 19:09 and just reaching out to them 19:12 and telling them about how much 19:14 God loves them, especially the kids. 19:16 I love the little children. 19:18 Well, it's my first mission trip. 19:20 So I'm sure I'll take on a lot of memories of this. 19:24 And really, I enjoyed the whole time I've had here. 19:27 So it's been a good experience. 19:29 Mission trips are important too. 19:30 So you can go out 19:32 and reach out to other people in the world. 19:34 And it's not like you're giving more than you're getting. 19:39 It's also you get a lot from this 19:40 and maybe even take back more than you have given. 19:43 This trip has definitely impacted me 19:45 in many ways. 19:46 I love spending time with the kids 19:48 and it just really puts into perspective 19:50 what we have at home, and to just remind me 19:54 personally to be grateful for what I have. 19:57 God has really blessed me while I have been here, 20:01 and He's opened my eyes 20:02 to see this is what I want to do. 20:04 I want to go places and help people. 20:07 I want to be a missionary now. 20:08 I used to, want to be a biologist 20:10 or something but and so I... 20:14 That's one of the things I'm taking home, just God. 20:18 God has a plan for me. And this is His plan. 20:21 Adventist World Aviation places 20:23 high priority on finding ways for anyone to be able to serve. 20:27 A life dedicated to service is a fulfilling one. 20:31 And AWA wants to expose 20:33 these young students to this opportunity. 20:36 The house isn't complete and when I leave right now, 20:38 but we do have all the walls up. 20:42 The house has come a long way 20:44 since we first started. 20:46 It started out just as a foundation 20:47 and got all the dirt in 20:50 and basically the first floor is done. 20:53 It's ready to go on to the second, 20:55 so I'm pretty happy. 20:57 This house is now ready for the next team of student 21:00 to arrive to continue the work 21:02 that the Okanogan students started. 21:05 Once the first team of students 21:07 has finished their time 21:08 in the Philippines working on the house, 21:10 a second mission group from Chetwynd Adventist Academy 21:13 arrives in Palawan to continue to work 21:16 and get the new mission house 21:18 another step closer to completion. 21:21 My name is Darren Shankel. 21:22 I am the principal of Peace Christian school 21:24 at Chetwynd, BC. 21:26 We are a K-12 school, 21:28 and the northern most K-12 school in the NAD. 21:31 We place a high value on mission trips, 21:33 because it allows our students 21:35 to see the reality of most of the people 21:37 that live on this planet. 21:38 One of the biggest things that we want our kids to see 21:41 is that service is something that is very valuable. 21:46 Anytime that we can encourage a student 21:50 to see something other than themselves 21:52 and the joy and the reward 21:54 of doing something for somebody else. 21:57 That's a big goal that we're hoping 21:59 to achieve with projects like this. 22:02 When the students arrive, they are eager to get to work. 22:06 Right away they dive straight into the hard labor. 22:09 As you can imagine, these high school students 22:11 do not have much experience 22:13 when it comes to laying block or construction work. 22:17 Each of the students who work alongside 22:19 one of the more experienced skilled tradesmen 22:22 and assist them in the bricklaying process. 22:26 They are now working on building up 22:28 the interior walls of the house. 22:31 The older, more experienced workers 22:33 mentor each student in the tricks of the trade. 22:37 With great teamwork playing a key role, 22:39 the construction site 22:41 is a constant buzz of activity and progress. 22:45 Adventist World Aviation strives 22:47 to always bring meaningful change 22:49 to people's lives, wherever the project might be. 22:53 Most of these students 22:54 have not traveled internationally. 22:56 So for them, this mission trip is a new 23:00 and significant experience. 23:02 Once I found out that our school 23:04 was planning on a mission trip, I thought it would be great 23:06 since it's my last year at the school 23:09 to get on board with it, and I was super stoked 23:11 when I found out that 23:13 we were coming to the Philippines. 23:15 My school has been going on mission trips, 23:16 like every about two years or so. 23:19 And I heard about this one and I had the opportunity to go 23:21 and I was really excited about it. 23:23 I've haven't traveled very much. 23:26 This is the first time I've even seen the ocean. 23:28 And I'm from British Columbia. 23:30 Like it's nice to see different cultures, 23:32 I've never been anywhere like international, 23:34 so it's nice having a different experience. 23:37 I thought it would be a really good experience 23:41 just to be able to see, 23:45 I don't know, a different way of life. 23:48 I think just like seeing 23:50 how lucky we are to live in the place that 23:53 we are and just seeing the poverty here 23:56 and the attitudes, you know, people here, 23:59 they're living in such poor conditions, 24:02 but their attitude is just so upbeat 24:05 and so happy and just way out there. 24:09 They don't have the same attitude 24:12 we do in Canada. 24:14 Definitely a different appreciation 24:16 and perspective. 24:18 You realize that the people here don't have very much, 24:22 but they're just so happy 24:24 with their lives and what they do have. 24:27 And that's just something refreshing 24:29 from the North American lifestyle. 24:33 Within a few short weeks, 24:35 the AWA base is completely transformed. 24:38 From what used to be an empty plot of land 24:41 now lies a strong framework of a mission house. 24:44 Students from two separate academies in Canada 24:47 were instrumental 24:49 in the construction of the mission house. 24:52 They poured their young 24:53 and eager hearts into this project. 24:56 They were not deterred 24:57 that they were not professionals 24:59 in this field. 25:00 Instead, they gave their willingness 25:02 and God blessed their labors. 25:04 For many of the students 25:06 this was more than just a work trip. 25:09 For some, it was a life changing event. 25:13 I feel happy that God has blessed us so much 25:15 to allow us to get so much done in so little time. 25:18 It's, yeah, it's quite amazing really. 25:23 Well, it makes me feel kind of accomplished. 25:26 Now seeing it standing, it's like, 25:28 you can tell it's a very good house, 25:30 going to be standing for quite a while. 25:31 Where there was once an empty field 25:33 now sits a formed house that will be used 25:37 for mission service for many years to come. 25:41 The students were only here 25:43 in Palawan for a few short weeks. 25:46 After they leave, 25:47 the construction work continues. 25:49 Many months pass 25:50 but the house slowly continues towards completion. 25:54 The construction crew from the US 25:56 makes several trips over the year 25:58 to work on the house. 26:00 Dedicated volunteers built this house 26:03 from all over the world. 26:05 The LaBores feel so blessed to see how many people 26:09 have rallied behind them 26:10 to help the construction of this mission house. 26:13 It's been fun seeing the house built, 26:16 just to start off with a piece of grassy dirty land, 26:21 and just to see it come up in 3D form has been fun, 26:25 fantasy that, oh, 26:27 this is where the kitchen's going to be and the bathroom. 26:29 And sometimes, you know, we'll say our house, 26:31 but it's not really our house, this house is going to be 26:33 here for many, many years to come 26:36 and will house many missionaries 26:38 we're praying. 26:39 But it's been a lot of fun 26:40 just to see being built up block by block, 26:43 and we're looking forward to seeing 26:45 the finishing touches go on too. 26:47 Having a groups out there working, 26:49 it makes me very joyful. 26:51 It's just knowing that 26:55 they're helping you build your own house. 26:58 It's really exciting. 27:02 It's kind of exciting to get 27:04 to see the house getting built so fast. 27:06 This mission project truly is a team effort. 27:10 Without the dedication and willingness to help, 27:13 this house would still not be a reality. 27:16 This project here on the Philippine Islands 27:19 is still in the beginning stages 27:20 of what will soon to be a powerful aviation base. 27:25 Together, the Philippine team knows 27:28 that God has great plans for the lives. 27:31 Well, if you summarize it, you know, a project like this, 27:34 you know, what is the ultimate goal? 27:35 I mean, it's really very simple. 27:37 I mean, the whole idea behind all this, 27:39 it's not about airplanes, it's not about medical work. 27:42 It's not about even outreach, all these things we have to do, 27:45 it's important. 27:47 But the idea is to show people 27:51 that there is a God that loves them, 27:53 and through our actions, 27:57 not just by thumping a Bible over their head, 27:59 but by actually demonstrating that we care about them, 28:02 and we're here to help them, we're here to serve them. 28:07 That is what's going to break down barriers. 28:09 The goal is to take as many people with us 28:11 as we can to God's kingdom. 28:13 I mean, there's no other reason for us being here. 28:16 If we're not doing that, we're just wasting time. 28:18 It boils down to the fact that we want to share God's love. 28:22 And we have to do mission aviation, 28:24 medical work and outreach to do that, 28:26 well, then that's what we're going to do. 28:27 And I believe that is the ultimate vehicle 28:29 that we will use. 28:30 But I know for a fact that 28:32 there are people all over these islands 28:35 where the Holy Spirit has been working with them. 28:37 Ultimately, that's what we want. 28:39 We want to bring peace to people's lives. 28:40 We want to help them understand that 28:42 there's a God that loves them 28:43 and in fact God Jesus is coming back again. 28:45 And He's going to take all of us 28:47 home to His kingdom rich and poor, 28:49 Filipino, American, doesn't matter who you are, 28:51 or what's walk of life you come from, 28:53 He loves us all. |
