00:29 Heal a heart that hurts
00:34 I wanna spend my life
00:39 Mending broken people
00:45 I wanna spend my life
00:51 Mending broken people.
01:06 Hello, and welcome to a very special 3ABN Today.
01:10 My name is CA Murray and allow me once again
01:12 to thank you for sharing just a little of your day with us,
01:16 so thank you for your love,
01:17 your prayers and your support
01:19 of Three Angels Broadcasting Network.
01:21 This is a very, very special program.
01:24 For a number of reasons, it is an evangelism roundup,
01:28 the first of many,
01:29 we hope as 3ABN preachers and teachers go out
01:33 to do exploits for the Lord in the field of evangelism,
01:37 we want to let you know what we're doing
01:39 so that we can focus our prayers together
01:41 on these meetings that we're having
01:43 and the work that the Lord is calling us to do.
01:45 So after each one,
01:47 we will be having an evangelism roundup
01:49 to let you know how God has blessed?
01:51 How you can support the work?
01:52 How you can pray for the work that God is asking us to do?
01:55 I'm very, very excited
01:57 because I'm joined by my wife, Irma.
01:58 Irma, good to have you here, on the set.
02:01 You're a guest, and you probably should be here
02:03 but it's easier for the camera people if you're over there.
02:05 Yes, this is fine.
02:07 Yeah, but we're still in touching range to each other.
02:09 Yeah. So it's, okay, we could touch.
02:10 We praise the Lord for that. Yes.
02:13 On the other end of the Skype line,
02:17 our two very, very dear friends of ours,
02:20 Ray and Raquel Rosenberg, and he and she both
02:27 of Be Transformed Lifestyle Center in Coloma, Michigan,
02:31 almost as small as Thompsonville, Illinois.
02:34 But they're...
02:36 Ray and Raquel, how are you doing?
02:38 We're both good.
02:40 And you're looking good.
02:42 Yes, thank you. Praise the Lord.
02:44 Particularly you, Raquel,
02:46 because we know that you came back
02:47 from the Philippines recently with a bug
02:50 and that really kind of bugged you,
02:52 so have you gotten over that,
02:53 are you pretty much recovered now?
02:55 I'm pretty much recovered.
02:57 Very good.
02:58 You see when the nurse practitioner comes down
03:01 and can't get rid of it, then it's pretty rough...
03:03 'Cause Raquel's pretty healthy girl.
03:05 But we're glad that you're doing better.
03:09 Yes, I am. Praise the Lord.
03:11 Now, Ray is a pharmacist.
03:13 I will say semi-retired for CVS
03:17 and Raquel is a nurse practitioner but together,
03:21 they run the Be Transformed Lifestyle Center.
03:23 And I remember I went up there just a couple of years ago.
03:25 They are 3ABN supporters, Boo. Yes.
03:29 They support 3ABN.
03:30 And we met them as they came down for camp meeting.
03:32 Yes, yes, a few years ago.
03:34 Seems like a long time
03:36 but we have been wonderfully friends since then.
03:40 They are just lovely people.
03:43 They are wonderful, wonderful people.
03:46 And as we said, we have just recently
03:49 within the last several days,
03:51 returned from an extended tour
03:54 of the Philippines doing two evangelistic meetings.
03:57 One, in the city of Tarlac
03:59 and the other, in the city of Victorias and...
04:04 And Bacolod. And Bacolod.
04:06 Bacolod, yes.
04:08 B-a-c-o-l-o-d.
04:09 Yes. Hard to pronounce it.
04:12 Yes, but two separate meetings.
04:17 Raquel is Filipina
04:19 and she has had a burden for a while
04:23 to do some evangelism there in her home country,
04:27 and that burden was shared by Ray
04:30 and as we got to know them and we put our heads together,
04:36 they decided to do a medical/evangelistic effort
04:41 there in Tarlac and Bacolod.
04:45 And that's what we want to tell you about today
04:47 and to let you know how God has blessed.
04:51 Just a wonderful time, 21 plus days...
04:55 Two separate meetings,
04:56 God blessed in a very special way
04:58 as we worked with a conference, there in Negros Occidental.
05:02 And with a school,
05:05 just outside of Philippine of Manila,
05:08 in the city of Tarlac.
05:10 I have to, Tarlac, yeah. Yes.
05:12 That's where we started.
05:14 Yes, wonderful, wonderful experience.
05:16 We are teasing
05:17 because they were asking about and I said,
05:18 "Other than the Volkswagen size cockroaches
05:23 and a bat that was in a hotel hall,
05:25 everything was pretty much good."
05:27 Yes.
05:29 Ray and Raquel,
05:30 we've got some pictures we want to go through,
05:32 but I want to do a couple of readings
05:34 on the book, 'Evangelism,'
05:35 because early this year
05:38 Danny was impressed to bring to 3ABN
05:43 the idea that this was going to be the year of evangelism,
05:46 you remember that, Boo? Yes.
05:49 I call her 'Boo,' so if you hear Boo or Irma or...
05:51 They are interchangeable.
05:53 Boo, Feta, Babe, all of them fit,
05:58 so it could be any one of the three or four,
06:02 during the course of our time together
06:03 but Danny brought to us this idea
06:07 that we need to move aggressively into evangelism,
06:10 so 3ABN called this the year of evangelism.
06:13 And, of course, the Seventh-day Adventist church
06:16 has also sees on this, under the direction
06:19 of our president elder Ted Wilson,
06:21 who has inaugurated, Every Member Evangelism.
06:25 He and... Yes.
06:26 Duane McKey, our buddy and Mark Finley
06:29 and the cognoscente there
06:33 at the general conference have seen the need to have
06:36 the church move into aggressive,
06:39 Every Member Evangelism
06:41 and 3ABN also moving into evangelism.
06:43 And so we erected our blessings on the Go Evangelistic team,
06:49 Pastor John Lomacang
06:51 is the director of world evangelism.
06:53 I know Shelley's got some meetings coming,
06:55 we have other meetings coming,
06:56 working with the General Conference,
06:57 we'll be in Romania sometime in 2017 working
07:00 with Elder Wilson and Elder Mckey.
07:03 So the world is getting this idea,
07:06 3ABN has picked up this idea,
07:07 the General Conference has picked up this idea
07:09 that time is late and men and women must move out
07:12 and preach the name of Jesus,
07:14 lift up Jesus to warn the world that Christ is coming soon.
07:17 And Ray and Raquel were also struck by this
07:20 and have for a while been saving up some money
07:22 for a meeting that was on Raquel's heart
07:25 shared by Ray.
07:26 To go to the Philippines and do a great work,
07:29 a medical work combined
07:30 with an evangelistic crusade in two places
07:33 and since my wife has medical background,
07:37 she is a lab tech by training
07:39 and has taken a number of nursing courses.
07:43 And I'm a bit of a preacher,
07:44 we thought that it was a bit of a good combination.
07:48 Yes, it was. Yeah.
07:49 It was nice working with you.
07:53 But it was tough and also nice working with Ray and Raquel.
07:56 Absolutely.
07:57 Difficult work, but a great harvest of souls.
08:00 I want to read a couple of things
08:01 from the book, 'Evangelism,'
08:03 then I'm going to talk to Ray and Raquel just a little bit.
08:05 And I find my glasses here
08:09 and due to the vicissitudes of age,
08:12 I'm in a book Evangelism, I date all of my books
08:15 and I bought this in May of 1973,
08:19 so we've had this book a long time.
08:21 But on page, I wanna start with page 17
08:25 because Ellen White has something for us to say
08:28 and something for us to hear rather.
08:31 And here, "Evangelism," she says "are rare work.
08:36 Evangelistic work, opening the scriptures to others,
08:40 warning men and women of what is coming upon the world
08:43 is to occupy more and still more
08:47 of the time of God's servants."
08:50 So evangelism is something that is going to take up
08:53 more and more of our time,
08:55 that God is calling us to do with increased energy
08:58 and with increased emphasis.
09:01 "We have warnings now which you may give,
09:05 a work now which you may do,
09:07 but soon it will be more difficult
09:09 than we can't imagine.
09:11 God, help us to keep in the chamber of light,
09:15 to work with our eyes fastened on Jesus,
09:18 our leader, and patiently, perseveringly
09:22 press on to gain the victory."
09:25 So it's getting tougher and tougher
09:27 to do the work of the Lord
09:28 because the devils puts up road blocks
09:30 and the world is getting tougher and tougher
09:32 to evangelize and yet,
09:34 that is the call for these last days.
09:36 "I appeal to our brethren," this is page 34.
09:40 "I appeal to our brethren
09:42 who have heard this message for many years.
09:44 It is time to wake up the watchmen.
09:47 I have expended my strength in giving the message
09:51 the Lord has given me.
09:53 The burden of the needs of our cities has rested
09:57 so heavily upon me that it has sometimes seemed
10:02 that I should die."
10:05 Powerful.
10:06 Ellen White is saying that the burden
10:09 to warn men and women who are dieing
10:11 has rested upon her so heavily,
10:12 and we have picked up that burden here at 3ABN.
10:15 And certainly our good friends,
10:17 Ray and Raquel Rosenberg, also have that burden.
10:21 She had a great burden to do
10:23 a work for her in her home country
10:26 and so we took off right after camp meeting of this year
10:31 and, man, getting to the Philippines
10:35 is not an easy...
10:37 No, it is not. Not an easy trip at all.
10:43 But it was well worth it.
10:45 It was worth it. The trip was a real blessing.
10:48 It was wonderful to see so many people
10:50 being take care of...
10:52 You know, by not only by the Word of God
10:55 but also by being help through the health.
10:59 Yes.
11:00 And by the direction so far, Raquel...
11:04 Yes.
11:05 She is such a wonderful person, she has wonderful personality.
11:10 Yes.
11:11 Calm and everybody like that and so is Ray,
11:14 I was glad to work with him in the pharmacy.
11:17 In the pharmacy, yes, you've become quite a pharmacist.
11:20 Yes.
11:21 Or pharmacist assistant during that time.
11:23 So we've got a lot of pictures to go through.
11:26 Ray and Raquel, get ready
11:28 'cause we're gonna want you to weigh on,
11:29 on some of this stuff.
11:30 You will see these pictures and just comment,
11:32 just pop in.
11:34 Our first meeting was in Tarlac, we met in Chicago.
11:37 You came in from what?
11:39 South Bend Airport to Chicago. Yes.
11:41 We met in Chicago,
11:43 Chicago to SOU, SOU to Clark,
11:48 Clark to Angeles.
11:52 Was that Angeles in there? Clark was in Angeles.
11:54 Yeah, yeah.
11:55 And Clark was in Angeles and there to.
11:57 Negros Occidental after Zurich. So let's get started.
12:00 We wanna go to our first meeting.
12:01 We started out in Tarlac.
12:03 That's just a picture of the Philippines.
12:05 Beautiful country, hills, mountains,
12:08 volcanoes, you name it.
12:09 It's got it all.
12:12 And then some of the, just the beautiful trees.
12:16 Boo, you remember this? Yes.
12:17 We took a day and we went out and...
12:19 Oh, yes, that mountain.
12:20 That mountain, yeah. Beautiful.
12:21 Pretty flowers, pretty-- Just a gorgeous country.
12:24 Everything very green and luscious.
12:27 Yes, yes, yes. Very, very beautiful.
12:30 Those are some of the flowers in the area.
12:32 Yeah. Now that's a jeepney.
12:35 Yes.
12:36 I took an empty one
12:38 because you never see an empty jeepney in,
12:41 it's a public transportation bus that holds
12:44 I guess about 20, usually,
12:46 they get about 40 people in there.
12:47 Oh, yes.
12:49 And it's quite an adventure, isn't it, Raquel?
12:51 Yes, yes.
12:55 Sometimes during rush hours,
12:59 the jeepneys will be full even up to the roof and up to the...
13:02 Yes.
13:04 Yeah, we've seen people on a roof
13:06 of those things, yeah.
13:07 And we got into one. And hanging out.
13:09 Yeah, and hanging out the sides...
13:10 Hanging out at all the time.
13:12 Yeah, yeah, we got into one of those empty,
13:13 within two blocks, there were 40 people on it.
13:14 Yes.
13:16 They safely get into a jeepney
13:17 and you're just friends, by the time you get off,
13:21 you'll be married because you're jammed in it so tightly.
13:24 But it's quite a ride, everybody should ride
13:26 a jeepney once in their life.
13:27 It's really something to see.
13:29 Let's go on to the next picture.
13:31 Now, Raquel, do you remember the name of this school,
13:34 this is an Adventist school
13:36 that we had the first medical clinic at.
13:39 Yes, that was in Tarlac.
13:40 This school is in Santa Ignacia,
13:43 near Camiling, Tarlac.
13:46 and it's owned by a couple, Adventist.
13:50 The name of the lady is Esther Biscara.
13:54 and the school is named after her husband,
13:58 late husband,
14:02 I forgot his name but it's named after him.
14:07 So they live or she lives now in the States,
14:10 but she's running the school there from the States
14:12 or her family is assisting her?
14:14 Yes.
14:15 So our first evangelistic/medical effort
14:18 was at the school.
14:20 And as you could see from that picture,
14:21 a lot of young people,
14:23 a lot of young ladies with babies,
14:25 a lot of children, you remember that, Boo,
14:27 a lot of children.
14:29 Lots of children. Lots of children.
14:30 And as you can see most of the mothers
14:33 with children that came,
14:34 where mothers were fairly young children.
14:36 Yes.
14:38 Some of the mothers looked like 14 years old.
14:40 Yeah, though they were already in their 20s.
14:42 Yes, yes.
14:44 The Filipinos have been blessed by God to do,
14:47 to look very, very young.
14:48 Yes. For a long time.
14:50 Yeah, and there is the pharmacy you're setting up there
14:52 with the medications and those are people getting medications.
14:57 Irma and Ray, you guys were the pharmacists.
15:00 Did a pretty good job, guys.
15:01 Now hold on this picture for just a second
15:03 because that's Dr. Rosemarie Pica.
15:08 She was the dentist.
15:09 She also works with Raquel's son in a...
15:13 Otto. No, Raquel's son.
15:16 Oh, Raquel's son, yes.
15:17 In that company, but her son is Otto.
15:19 But she was the dentist there
15:21 and Irma and Ray are doing the pharmacy work.
15:22 Wonderful person too. Yeah.
15:24 Wonderful person.
15:26 You didn't have a lot of trouble
15:27 bringing in medications into the country,
15:30 did you, Ray, with this?
15:32 No problem at all, they're very willing
15:34 and look forward to trips like ours.
15:37 A-ha, a-ha, because they knew
15:39 you're coming to help the people.
15:41 Absolutely. Yeah.
15:43 Give us your impression that very first day as we began,
15:47 you know, it was kind of hard, we're setting up.
15:49 Were you excited? Was it a tiring thing?
15:52 How did you feel that very first day?
15:56 I was happy to see the Philippines again
15:59 and see the people.
16:01 And I was ready to serve that first day.
16:06 I was really very anxious, I had energy at that time.
16:13 And it was a great pleasure
16:17 helping lot of my country men.
16:21 Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.
16:22 We didn't know what to expect, did we, Boo?
16:24 We're just kind of going along, whatever happens,
16:26 we're going to take it in stride.
16:28 Yes, we have no idea what we were going to encounter,
16:31 but the people were just really so gracious
16:36 and very thankful for what we had...
16:39 Yes. We did for them there.
16:41 Praise the Lord. Yes.
16:42 Let's go back to our pictures.
16:45 After each person received their medical treatment,
16:48 I prayed with them before they go,
16:50 we prayed with each person that morning
16:53 for the first couple of days, then I had to, sort of,
16:55 lack down on my sermons but we wanted pray
16:56 with as many as possible to let them know
16:59 that healing is part of...
17:01 That prayer is part of healing
17:02 and we wanted to bring them to the Lord.
17:03 So when they're finished with pharmacy,
17:05 they had to come to prayer before we let them go.
17:07 Now this is a, Boo, tell us what this is?
17:10 A little boy he was very, very nervous but, Dr. Pica,
17:14 she's very nice, very gentle.
17:17 And she was there, he was there to have a tooth pull.
17:21 Yeah, and I think she did about 30
17:24 during the day that first day, that morning, she did a lot.
17:26 Now there is another one. Yes, she did quite a few.
17:28 Yes.
17:29 Yeah, she knows what she's doing and for the most part,
17:32 no crying, no tears.
17:33 No. No. Yeah.
17:35 Everything was very quiet there.
17:37 Everything was very, very quiet.
17:38 Amazingly. Yeah.
17:40 So, Raquel, what was your part in this first,
17:42 I think they saw you first and then...
17:44 What was your, what were you doing that and, you know,
17:47 doing the medical part?
17:49 I was seeing patients.
17:52 I tell them, I diagnose them and then tell them what to do,
17:58 and I give some medications.
18:00 And I send them to pharmacy, to Irma and Ray,
18:04 to get their medications.
18:07 I've seen about 150 there in one day.
18:13 Yes.
18:15 I received patients every five minutes.
18:17 Yes. A 150 in one day?
18:19 Yeah. That's pretty good work.
18:22 That's putting them in
18:23 and picking em up and letting em down,
18:25 that is pretty good work on 50.
18:27 I don't think it was that many
18:28 because we were finished by mid afternoon I think
18:31 or late afternoon I should say rather.
18:35 Yes, I counted the papers that the nurses,
18:40 they do their blood pressure and their blood sugars
18:43 and I counted them after we were done
18:46 and it was like 150 people.
18:48 Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.
18:51 Yeah, that first day we only had Raquel
18:55 doing the consultations.
18:57 So it was a lot of work for her and it was very hard...
19:00 It was hard enough. At that school.
19:04 Yeah, very, very hard.
19:05 Let's go back to the pictures.
19:07 Now the evening meetings were held just a few doors down
19:12 in the chapel of the school.
19:14 And again, you see young people
19:17 and one of the things that you notice is that...
19:21 Irma, there are lot of young people involved in the church.
19:23 Oh, yes. Yeah.
19:25 That is a wonderful thing for me to see.
19:28 There are so many young people,
19:30 there are older people,
19:31 sits and follow as the young people leads in songs
19:36 and reading the scriptures and introducing the pastor.
19:40 It's just really wonderful to see them working.
19:44 Yeah, because that was our Sabbath crowd.
19:46 Yes.
19:47 That was our Sabbath morning crowd and, of course,
19:49 that place really couldn't hold another person,
19:51 it was quite full.
19:52 Yes.
19:54 You know, of people and again, young audience.
19:56 Yes, and Sabbath we have this place a full
19:59 and there was also a tent.
20:01 Outside, yeah. Outside that was also full.
20:04 Correct.
20:05 And people were sitting along the other side of the walk...
20:09 Yeah, I forgot that. A side walk in the school.
20:11 Under walk, yeah, it was quite full.
20:13 Ray, how did that Sabbath crowd impress you?
20:16 Because that building was really quiet full
20:18 and I don't know if you've done an evangelistic thing
20:21 like that before,
20:23 you didn't know what to expect either,
20:24 but that first Sabbath crowd, there in Tarlac?
20:28 The thing that impresses me most is the love
20:31 that these people emanate.
20:33 They just generate love
20:37 and that's so grateful not only for the evangelism
20:42 but also for the medical care.
20:44 These are people who are hungry.
20:46 They want to be recognized
20:48 and it's just a delight to serve them.
20:50 Amen. Amen. Amen.
20:53 Let's go back to our pictures because we've got a lot.
20:57 These are some of the people
20:59 that assisted us during that time.
21:02 I think at the end of this meeting
21:03 and this a short meeting, just Wednesday through Sabbath,
21:07 we had 10 people give their heart to the Lord.
21:10 We could not stay for the baptism
21:12 because Sunday morning,
21:13 we had to get on a plane and fly another 500 miles
21:16 but that's some of the group that worked with us.
21:18 The lady to Irma's left on the end
21:24 was my translator.
21:25 And did a very, very fine job.
21:28 But there were some of the people
21:29 that worked with us to end,
21:31 some of the people that gave their heart to the Lord.
21:33 This little baby I felt so bad for her,
21:35 they passed a little child around so much,
21:36 she was in every picture.
21:39 Yes.
21:40 Every time someone took a picture,
21:42 that little baby got in that picture some, kind of, how,
21:44 so she was there.
21:46 But you remember that, Ray, that little child,
21:48 every picture I think was taken on that Sabbath,
21:50 that little child got into.
21:51 Yes.
21:53 Just a baby that was shared by everybody.
21:56 Indeed. Indeed.
21:59 She was cute though. She was cute.
22:02 The parents, very nice, the parents of the little one.
22:05 We did, that was Sabbath afternoon,
22:08 we hugged, kissed, cried, said goodbye.
22:11 Sunday morning, we jumped on a plane
22:13 and flew to Negros Occidental,
22:16 a beautiful island, volcanic again.
22:19 The sugar capital of the Philippines,
22:22 sugar factories, sugar plantations,
22:25 sugarcane everywhere, just a really pretty,
22:28 pretty island, right, Boo?
22:30 They're all beautiful. Really beautiful.
22:32 That's where we've had the privilege
22:34 to go to that school.
22:35 Yes. Yes.
22:37 To the college. To the college.
22:38 To the college, yes, yes.
22:40 And see what they are doing in there.
22:41 Pictures too, of the college, yes.
22:42 So we flew Sunday,
22:44 Monday morning we got up and we cranked it up again.
22:47 Let's go back to our pictures.
22:49 Now, Ray and Raquel, you've got to walk me
22:51 through the medical work that was done there
22:53 because I as home writing sermons.
22:55 Give us a little feel of what was done in the mornings
22:59 at this, the Civic Center.
23:02 Okay, Irma and Ray were trying to label
23:07 all the medications and trying to organize them,
23:11 while I was looking patients on the other side.
23:15 I was alone, oh, with two other doctors
23:19 that volunteered from the sanitarium over there.
23:27 We were seeing about 300 to 400 in one day,
23:32 there are three doctors in all in Pura.
23:35 Me, and I was seeing most of the kids and the adults.
23:40 And I sent them to pharmacy to get their medications
23:44 and Dr. Marie Pica
23:48 donated through Rachael Allen Services.
23:53 Most of them made it medicines,
23:55 the antibiotics the pain medications,
24:00 something for codes,
24:02 something for anemia, iron, vitamin C...
24:05 Blood pressure. Blood pressure medicines.
24:08 She all wrote those in two big boxes.
24:13 In two big boxes. Very big.
24:16 So during the day, I mean,
24:17 the numbers of people that you saw,
24:19 that's quite 300, 400 people a day,
24:21 so you're really being efficient
24:23 and doing your work each and every morning.
24:26 The first three days she really worked hard
24:30 and she had two other doctors
24:33 that they were not at the same time.
24:35 Raquel. Raquel, yes.
24:37 And but then on the Sunday meeting,
24:42 we had many, many doctors and nurses, actually,
24:46 Ray and I just supervised because we had so much help
24:51 but we saw many, many people that day.
24:53 Yeah, now you even did and I have to this advisedly,
24:57 they did circumcisions there as part of the medical care,
25:02 correct?
25:04 Oh, yes. Yes, yes. Yeah.
25:06 There are about more of less 20 children,
25:12 aged from four to eleven years old,
25:17 and three even cried.
25:22 I know in the Philippines
25:23 because when we were there a couple of years ago,
25:25 I found out that they do circumcisions
25:27 fairly late in life.
25:29 In the States, it's in the first what?
25:31 Couple of weeks, but they do them
25:33 into the teens in the Philippines,
25:37 which is a quite an experience.
25:40 And older. And older, yes, yes, yes.
25:42 I'd remember driving at one place
25:45 and there was a big, big sign that it says,
25:49 'Wednesdays, circumcisions free.'
25:51 Yeah.
25:53 And then they have an address there
25:54 and I thought that was amazing.
25:57 Yeah, it was kind of a culture shot for us.
26:00 But do you remember the name of the doctor,
26:02 I think he's one of the leading physicians
26:04 in the Adventist hospital.
26:05 He took charge of a lot of that.
26:07 Raquel, do you remember his name?
26:09 I think his name is Dr. Falabino.
26:13 That's pretty close.
26:14 We have a picture of them coming up in just a little bit.
26:17 But he was a pleasant fellow
26:19 and I was not there for that I was in the hotel
26:23 writing sermons but he was moving them
26:25 in pretty good and doing a good job.
26:27 Let's go back to our pictures 'cause we've got a lot.
26:30 That is the same place, the nightly meeting,
26:33 that was the back wall behind the stage,
26:36 Abundant Life crusade
26:39 and there's a little picture of me there.
26:41 There's my translator and Elder Randy, our friend,
26:45 who's the local elder district leader there on the stage.
26:51 And that's me with my translator
26:53 pastor Guadadencio Buke.
26:55 What a nice guy, Ray, do you remember him?
26:58 Absolutely.
26:59 Once you meet him, you never could forget him,
27:01 wonderful and warm and full of love.
27:04 Very much so, wonderful Christian fellow.
27:07 And that's an idea of our audience each night.
27:09 We averaged in the four to five,
27:12 sometimes 600 nightly and then, of course,
27:16 that number zoomed to about 750,
27:18 maybe a little bigger on Sabbath.
27:23 That's the group, that sort of worked closely with us.
27:26 Our friend, the little skinny one in the middle there,
27:28 it's Otto, that's Dr. Pica's son.
27:30 What a wonderful young man.
27:32 Yes. Yeah.
27:34 I have to say that I was impressed about Otto.
27:37 Otto is a wonderful young teenager or just of teenager,
27:43 a 17 I believe, but he could not help anymore.
27:48 He was in everything helping, he was carrying boxes,
27:51 anything that we needed assisting...
27:54 Yes.
27:55 He was there taking pictures, just being nice to the people
28:01 and making the children
28:03 that they were going to the doctor...
28:05 Yes.
28:07 To put them at ease, he was just wonderful,
28:10 very sociable, very nice, very respectful.
28:13 Very much though. Wonderful.
28:15 We told Otto we're going to get him to 3ABN one day
28:18 because he loves to take pictures,
28:20 he loves photography, wonderful, helpful young man,
28:23 very, very godly young man, we liked him.
28:25 Yes.
28:26 We had a good time with Otto, did we not, Ray, Raquel?
28:28 Yes, we did.
28:29 And there are lot of the teenagers there,
28:32 they kind of had crush on him.
28:34 Oh, yes. Yes.
28:35 Very much though.
28:36 All the pretty girls went out with him.
28:38 Yes, all the pretty girls went out to Otto.
28:41 It seems meeting by the end of the time,
28:44 we changed his name through, from Otto to Casanova.
28:50 Yeah, and he didn't go seeking, they came seeking him.
28:52 No, he was such a gentleman.
28:56 He was really so.
28:57 All right, let's go back to our pictures.
28:59 That's one of the buses that came to the nightly meeting,
29:02 see people piled on the top,
29:03 people hanging out the doors, people full.
29:07 The people really tried to get there
29:09 to those meetings each night.
29:10 And we appreciated their effort
29:11 because some had to come a great distance
29:13 but this is a group of Adventists on the top,
29:16 on the back, inside, standing up, sitting down,
29:19 just a bus full of people
29:20 coming to the meetings each night.
29:24 And on Sabbath, we had to go to another place
29:27 because the meeting hall was being used by another group,
29:30 so they put us in a covered basketball court.
29:32 And that's just a small picture of the group
29:35 of our Sabbath audience
29:37 but the camera doesn't cover everybody
29:39 but really we were up around 750, 800 on Sabbath.
29:42 And it was really quite wonderful.
29:43 There is Raquel DeLeon Rosenberg.
29:47 She gave a health lecture each night as did Dr. Pica.
29:51 When Dr. Pica had to go back to the Philippines,
29:53 Raquel took over and gave a wonderful health lecture
29:56 each night before the sermon.
29:58 It was very, very well received.
29:59 Do you remember that, Boo? Oh, yes, yes.
30:01 They were really happy. Yeah.
30:02 About that and they were coming early, early,
30:05 and I noticed also young kids, even 10, 12-years-old
30:10 sitting and with all the attention.
30:13 Yes. Listening to those lectures.
30:15 Yes. Incredible.
30:17 Raquel, what were some of the things
30:18 that you talked about each night?
30:21 Every night, I will choose some things
30:24 that are local to the people,
30:27 I mean, diagnosis like colds, fever, cough, sore throat
30:30 and then I will tell the mothers
30:33 what natural remedies that are within their reach
30:36 that they can use.
30:38 Yes.
30:39 People going to the doctor
30:41 and then I tell them how to develop their immune system
30:44 and Dr. Pica talk about diet, better vegetarian or vegan,
30:51 vegetables and those kind of things.
30:55 Then everyday, I addressed other diseases
31:01 like diabetes and cancer, so and then the last days,
31:07 I talked on about herbs that are local
31:12 and what is good for like asthma,
31:15 diabetes, kidney failure and other things.
31:21 And the people are just wonderful,
31:27 I can see their faces that, oh, oh, it's like something,
31:31 it's new to them and so I figure
31:35 we need a lot of this kind of education for the people
31:40 there in the Philippines.
31:41 I saw that you let them know that,
31:44 you don't have to necessarily run to the doctor,
31:46 and spend a lot of money for everything,
31:47 there are natural things
31:49 that you can take that are very, very effective,
31:52 that are growing right along side the road
31:54 or in your backyard that you can get,
31:56 that will save you some money and have the desired effect.
32:00 Yes, I said that and they were so amazed about it.
32:05 Yes, praise the Lord.
32:06 All right, let's go back to our pictures,
32:08 we still got a lot to get through.
32:09 Ray, did you have something?
32:10 Yeah, I just wanted to say it's really very important,
32:15 we come all ready and we bring medicine
32:17 and we can give them medicine
32:18 and may be for blood pressure for a month.
32:21 But at the end of the month,
32:22 when it comes time to renew their prescription,
32:25 they don't have money to buy it.
32:27 So the lectures that Raquel gave,
32:30 how to make yourself healthy and keep yourself healthy
32:34 and how to treat certain conditions from plants
32:37 growing on the side of a road or growing in a yard
32:42 somewhere are still very important
32:44 because these people just can't afford to pay
32:48 for good health but no matter how poor people are,
32:51 everybody wants to be healthy.
32:53 Amen, well said.
32:55 All right, our time is getting away from us
32:57 and we got a big surprise at the end of this that
32:59 we want to stay by for.
33:01 This is a sign outside of the Adventist hospital
33:05 in the city of Bacolod.
33:06 We were living in or staying in the hotel in Victorias.
33:10 Yes.
33:12 And then they moved us to the guest house
33:13 at the Conference Office in Bacolod
33:15 right across the street from the Adventist hospital.
33:17 So that's just a sign announcing the street.
33:19 And then that's the new wing of the Adventist hospital.
33:22 Very, very nice, very nice cafeteria,
33:24 a good sized hospital, serving the community,
33:27 they go out and do free health care,
33:29 that's the new wing and the old wing there,
33:31 of the hospital, very nice facility,
33:34 right across the street from the, excuse me,
33:36 Adventist Conference Office.
33:38 And now that's the doctor that did the circumcisions.
33:42 Yes.
33:45 He had a wonderful time. He was a funny guy.
33:47 He was having fun. Yes, he is a funny fellow.
33:49 He is very funny. Yes.
33:50 Yeah.
33:52 He said the young people that had no problem,
33:54 that is the chaplaincy staff.
33:57 And they all look like children
33:58 but these are college graduates.
34:01 Two young men and the woman, Chona,
34:05 and those chaplains, they sing.
34:08 They are called 'The Singing Chaplains.'
34:10 They sang for us that couple of nights,
34:11 do you remember that, Boo?
34:13 Yes, they did. They did. Yeah. That's very, very nice.
34:14 Yeah, that's the chaplaincy staff.
34:16 And Chona. Yeah.
34:18 She is a young lady,
34:20 who we were trying to find a husband for her
34:24 because she is such a consecrated lady
34:28 but she is just wonderful.
34:29 Yes.
34:31 You know, very obedient, happy and she just loves the Lord.
34:34 Yes. And she's ready.
34:36 She's ready, you're right.
34:37 So if you are a consecrated young man looking for a good
34:40 consecrated Filipino wife, write us,
34:43 and may we can hook you guys up
34:45 because she's ready to serve the Lord
34:47 with a mate by her side.
34:49 Only serious people need apply
34:52 because she is not and we were teasing her, we said,
34:56 "We're gonna put your name out there, Chona,"
34:57 because she's such a sweet godly woman
35:00 there in the Philippines.
35:01 Yeah. Very good looking too.
35:03 Very good looking. Very good looking.
35:05 Do you remember that Ray,
35:07 we're kind of giving her rough time?
35:08 Absolutely.
35:10 She went along with it just well
35:12 and should be very receptive to the right man.
35:15 Amen and amen. All right.
35:17 Let's go back to our picture.
35:19 That is the famous durian.
35:23 I took a picture of that because we ate some durian
35:26 when we were there couple of years ago.
35:27 They say and I say this advice me,
35:29 forgive me if I offend you.
35:30 Taste, smells like hell, taste like heaven.
35:33 That's what they said. To me it didn't taste heaven.
35:36 It didn't taste like well.
35:37 It has a smell of rotten, just rotten stuff.
35:42 But if you can get it in your mouth,
35:44 it taste pretty good,
35:45 but on the way to your mouth it will kill your nose.
35:47 It goes through your nose.
35:48 Is that it absolutely murder your nose.
35:50 But it's called durian, it's a famous fruit there,
35:52 either you like it or you don't.
35:55 And if you don't, you probably won't ever
35:56 because it's an acquired taste
35:58 and we haven't quite acquired it.
35:59 Yeah.
36:00 And this was a lady selling right outside the hospital.
36:03 Right outside the hospital, in fact right across
36:04 Philippines Conference office.
36:06 Yes. That's pastor Fiesta.
36:08 Wonderful fellow,
36:09 he is working with the Hope channel there
36:11 in and a mad driver, this guy drives, right.
36:15 He really very drives.
36:16 Okay, we got to go faster, tell me, we got to go faster,
36:19 we got some rolls coming.
36:20 Brand new health food store.
36:21 We ate there right at the end of our trip
36:23 called the Health Hut.
36:25 It's center of influence there in town that ASI,
36:27 working with the conference opened up great food.
36:30 Some of the best vegetarian food we ever ate.
36:31 That's a staff.
36:33 And that's a staff inside,
36:34 we took some pictures with them.
36:36 We kind of moving faster
36:37 as we got some video rolls coming up
36:38 that we want to get time for.
36:40 We went to the college, you remember Ray and Raquel,
36:41 we went up to the college there
36:43 and a lot of the work is still done
36:45 with water buffaloes.
36:47 And that's the local water buffalo that was hauling sand.
36:51 And he seem to like to be petted, kind of big
36:54 and but so that's one of the place
36:57 where we have to get, yeah.
37:00 That's a local water buffalo. Yes.
37:01 And that's us in front of the church there
37:03 on the campus of the college there.
37:09 And let's see what we got coming up
37:12 after that is that's myself and Pastor Buke,
37:15 that's my translator.
37:16 We love this guy. What a consecrated young man.
37:19 He's got a son who has autism,
37:20 he's got lot of burdens
37:23 to carry as communication director
37:25 and does other work for the conference,
37:27 beautiful wife who is a nurse at the hospital.
37:29 Just a wonderful couple,
37:30 we really fell in love with him.
37:32 Oh, yes, he was wonderful and his wife too.
37:35 And here is where we were staying the last week.
37:39 To the right is the conference offices
37:43 and then upstairs to the left is I think they're the guest,
37:47 guest rooms.
37:48 The guest rooms, yeah.
37:50 They're not bad, very nice, very good.
37:51 Yeah, they're very nice. That we took a picture of Otto.
37:53 There is Otto. That's Otto.
37:54 Yeah, that's our buddy.
37:56 Seventeen...
37:57 And that was at the college. At the college.
38:00 And those, as you see the stairs are just beginning
38:03 to be covered by tile
38:06 but it's still in construction...
38:09 Yes. A lot of it.
38:10 Yeah.
38:12 Plus, I don't know if we have a picture
38:13 but we have across from there,
38:16 they are building an auditorium,
38:18 so that they can have people coming for concerts.
38:22 Apparently that is one of the worldwide
38:27 top of music school.
38:30 Music school in that part of the world, yeah.
38:32 And they get a lot of tunes from China
38:34 and another places who are very gifted.
38:36 The conference president son is a gifted musician,
38:38 singer and pianist.
38:39 So they're building a whole music center
38:42 to train and teach young people.
38:44 Now let's go back to those pictures
38:45 because that one I want to show.
38:46 That's our buddy in the middle, that's Freddy.
38:48 Freddy, yeah. Randy.
38:50 Randy. Yes, I keep telling it.
38:51 Randy, yes he is the local elder.
38:53 Wonderful Randy.
38:55 Of that district a first elder, what a great guy.
38:56 Yes.
38:58 Randy directs the choirs, sings, beautiful voice,
38:59 plays the piano
39:00 on the conference committee, very, very talented fellow.
39:03 That's Randy. Full of energy.
39:05 And full of energy. He never loses his energy.
39:06 No.
39:08 That's the pastor of the host church
39:09 where we were in Victoria, that's Pastor Christopher.
39:12 Wonderful young man, has two very energetic boys,
39:15 wonderful wife, so he was the host pastor.
39:17 This is one of his first, just got out of school,
39:20 one of his first charges.
39:21 And that's Pastor Buke and myself,
39:24 preaching on Sabbath morning.
39:26 He is my translator.
39:27 What a good...
39:28 As I got excited, he got excited.
39:30 When I calmed down, he calmed down,
39:31 and if I moved, he moved.
39:32 That's some of the baptismal people.
39:34 These are the people answered that, responded to the call.
39:38 Responded to the call.
39:39 On Sabbath as we made a call for baptism,
39:41 and these are some of the people that came up
39:42 and responded to the call.
39:44 Those are some of the baptismal candidates,
39:46 they're dressed in white.
39:49 Just wonderful people.
39:50 This young lady just kind of endeared herself,
39:52 she ended up in a lot of my shots.
39:53 If my camera was over to the left,
39:55 she kind of eased to the left,
39:56 as my camera was over to the right,
39:58 she kind of eased to the right.
39:59 Just a wonderful young lady, and she was one
40:01 of the baptismal candidates also.
40:04 And some more baptismal candidates just...
40:06 We had all ranges of ages. Yes, yes.
40:09 And some more baptismal candidates, yes.
40:11 From very young to very...
40:14 And really we thought some of these baptismal candidates
40:16 were too young but really they're older than they look.
40:19 That's some of the food that they had prepared for us
40:23 because we had church service, then we ate,
40:25 then baptism and Raquel,
40:27 that's about the time that you sort of came down
40:29 whatever bug got a hold of you.
40:31 There is a pastor's wife in the middle in the dark blue.
40:33 And you weren't there with us for that last Sabbath,
40:35 we missed you.
40:37 Well, I missed everything in the last day
40:44 but I had fever at that time so I couldn't really come.
40:47 Yes, yes.
40:49 Ray, talk to us about your response,
40:52 your feeling to that last Sabbath
40:55 to see all of those baptismal candidates
40:57 and just to be part of that experience?
41:00 That's an experience that I will never forget.
41:04 It's an experience that we dream about,
41:11 it's a dream that we had hope to come true
41:15 and we were so happy that, that it finally did.
41:19 The warmth of the people or the love of the people
41:22 is something that you can't even express.
41:25 They were so warm, so friendly...
41:28 Excuse me, it was like a large family.
41:33 And everyone was so grateful and so happy and 66 baptisms
41:39 and all these people smiling.
41:42 Just so beautiful to see and the pastors were happy
41:47 and the president of the conference was so happy.
41:50 Yes.
41:52 And it was one speech after another and everybody just...
41:57 It just was like a stone rolling down the mountain,
42:01 it got better and better and better.
42:04 All right, very good.
42:06 Now, I'm going to talk to my director just a minute.
42:09 Robert, we're going to have run out of time
42:11 so we gonna have to cut some of this stuff short.
42:13 I want to go right to the baptisms,
42:15 if you can do that for me.
42:18 We're going to take out Buke,
42:19 we're going to take out the president for now
42:22 and go right to the baptism.
42:23 There we go because Irma was saying, you know what?
42:26 I see a big black crowd.
42:27 And if they don't stop talking and get to that pool,
42:29 we're going to be in a rainy baptism
42:31 and sure enough what happen Boo?
42:34 Sure enough, as soon as we got to the pool
42:38 it started raining and not little...
42:40 Yeah. It was raining really hard.
42:42 Yeah, pouring down. Pouring down.
42:44 But did that stop anybody?
42:45 They did not, oh, not, not at all.
42:47 Not even the people that they were looking.
42:50 Yes. To see the baptism.
42:53 Everybody was just so happy to be there,
42:55 I ran away because I didn't want to get soggy
43:00 and I have my camera so.
43:03 I got it perhaps so, I kept my camera dry,
43:04 but outside half, half of me got soaked.
43:07 Robert, can you find the picture of everybody
43:09 at the baptismal pool that kind of the group picture
43:11 that kind of big one for me and let's go to that.
43:14 That's the one. Thank you.
43:16 These guys are...
43:17 Oh, they're so sharp in there.
43:18 That's the one, that was our baptismal group,
43:20 66 in total and there were some that didn't get there
43:24 because our numbers really were higher
43:25 but at the end we ended up with 66
43:28 and it was just so wonderful
43:30 and what happened right after the baptism was over,
43:32 weather wise?
43:33 Oh, the sun just shine.
43:36 Just came out like...
43:37 The sun came right back out, yeah.
43:39 Just as the rain stopped, the sun came out.
43:41 That's the conference president Pastor Inapan,
43:43 wonderful person.
43:44 Talking to and congratulating the baptismal candidates,
43:47 just a wonderful group.
43:48 It was a great Sabbath afternoon, wasn't it, Ray?
43:51 It was, it really was.
43:52 Certainly was.
43:54 Only thing missing was Raquel. That's true.
43:57 Yes, that's true. We had another pastor.
43:59 That was the oldest person that got there that time.
44:01 Yes, he was and he had a stroke.
44:03 A stroke, yes.
44:05 So he was walking with a cane. With a cane, yes.
44:07 But he was just so happy.
44:10 He was so happy to be baptized, yeah.
44:11 To be baptized, yes.
44:12 Those robes we found out, that green and black robe,
44:14 we found out that when you get ordained
44:17 they give you that robe for baptism.
44:19 So our host pastor is not ordained yet
44:21 so he didn't get one but Pastor Buke
44:24 and the other pastor got those robes
44:27 when they were ordained,
44:28 so they baptized in those robes,
44:30 and of course the conference president
44:31 just baptized in a street clothes.
44:33 He didn't mind, he was quite,
44:34 he was quite fine with everything.
44:35 Yeah, I don't know if we'll have another picture
44:37 of this lady but right of that picture
44:39 there is a lady behind with the umbrella
44:42 for the older man and she is the lady that every night
44:48 she was ready with gifts for the people
44:51 at the end of the meeting.
44:54 At the end of the meeting they had a quiz
44:55 at the end of the meeting and they had bags of gifts
44:58 and this lady, she was an elder,
45:00 she would give out the...
45:01 Ask the questions
45:03 and people would answer the questions
45:04 and get their gifts.
45:06 Very, very exciting, then we had a big circle,
45:07 we joined hands, and you know, gave out those gifts,
45:11 Just an exciting wonderful thing.
45:13 Now we got to tell you something,
45:14 this is really cool.
45:16 On Friday night just before the baptism,
45:19 we preached at the Bacolod Central
45:22 Seventh-day Adventist Church.
45:24 It was something that was kind of added to,
45:25 it was a one day off and we didn't get a day off,
45:27 we preached there.
45:29 And I'm so glad that we did.
45:30 Irma came, Raquel was not feeling good
45:32 but she came anyway and Ray came.
45:34 And we met a group, and Robert this is the 3ABN group.
45:38 This group and hold that picture for just minute.
45:40 This is a group of doctors and lawyers and business people
45:47 who pay out of their pockets to have 3ABN
45:51 on in that lead city there in Bacolod.
45:55 They've been doing it for 15 years.
45:58 Yes.
45:59 Now let me give their names just so that
46:01 we give them some recognition.
46:02 Starting from the far right,
46:05 the man in the white is Antonio Devalia.
46:08 His wife Jobinee Devalia is next to him, then me,
46:12 then Irma, then doctor,
46:15 he is a doctor/attorney Wilfred Tubliera.
46:20 Then Dr. Nana Lee Rollius,
46:24 then Lenora Brassa,
46:28 then going up to lady in the yellow is Norletta,
46:32 she is a land owner.
46:34 She owns a big plantation,
46:35 then let's see
46:38 is Teresa Formanarius,
46:45 then the first elder who is Asher Scion,
46:48 then the pastor is Nedro Golfa.
46:52 That's the 3ABN club.
46:56 And they've been together.
46:58 Their motto is 3ABN till Jesus comes.
47:02 Yes.
47:04 You remember that? That's right.
47:05 And they introduced themselves to me,
47:07 a group of doctors and lawyers.
47:09 And now we got a quick video, I want to go to that right now.
47:13 The first thing or the first time
47:15 that I discover this program,
47:17 the 3ABN program was in Iloilo city,
47:22 then we were on our way to our free clinic
47:25 at the house of Mr. Chu.
47:29 When he opened the television,
47:31 I was so inspired to see
47:35 and to hear singing Jesus is coming again.
47:39 And so I said to myself,
47:41 this program should also be with us in Bacolod city.
47:46 And so upon coming here to our province,
47:52 I went together with my wife,
47:55 I went to the conference office
47:59 and told the president then Pastor Chad Lee Hondonero,
48:06 and I was telling him to have this 3ABN program
48:11 here in the province of the Negros.
48:16 And he told me, well, we had it planned already
48:21 about three years ago.
48:23 So what happened?
48:27 Actually there were already the gadgets.
48:30 This satellite, oh, what's that, this?
48:35 The satellite dish. Satellite dish, yeah.
48:39 And I said to Pastor Hondonero,
48:43 we need to get it right away.
48:47 And I went also
48:50 to the then Pastor Solis,
48:56 he is the communication director
48:59 and encouraged him to get the gadgets as soon as possible
49:06 so that we can have the program
49:07 here in our own province.
49:11 And it was so, it was done that very Sunday morning
49:16 he went to Cebu city to take all the gadgets,
49:21 and one problem that they were talking
49:26 was about the money.
49:29 Because the company, the sky cable
49:34 is requiring us to pay 24,000 then per month,
49:39 24,000 pesos as a payment.
49:43 So I said that should be easy.
49:47 We head together
49:48 all the brethren from five districts
49:53 and so solicit the fund for this program.
49:58 So all of you together are funding 3ABN in Bacolod.
50:04 Yeah.
50:07 We gathered, for the first time we gathered five districts.
50:12 But now I think by either
50:18 solicitations or promised pledges
50:24 from the brethren.
50:26 We've to sustain this...
50:27 And...
50:28 We've to sustain this program.
50:30 Yeah, this program must be sustained
50:32 up to the moment by the grace of God.
50:35 Now our time is getting away from us but I did want to hear,
50:38 want you to hear from the pastor of the churches
50:40 is pastor Golfan, wonderful fellow.
50:43 He was very, very impressed
50:44 about what this group is doing also.
50:47 Pastor Golfan is the pastor of the church.
50:50 Pastor, just give me a word how having this ministry
50:53 in your church has helped this church?
50:56 It's really been a blessing for the community
50:59 and also for those our brethren
51:01 who personally commit themselves
51:03 because it not only inspire them to continue
51:10 to do the ministry that God has entrusted to them
51:12 but their faith really grow when they continue to do
51:17 this support to the major ministry,
51:21 and I really praise God for this brethren.
51:24 Amen.
51:26 Now in the video that was just prior,
51:28 you saw over the shoulder of man
51:30 was talking a women standing there,
51:32 tall woman in gray,
51:34 that woman actually was a person who walked
51:38 into the church from watching 3ABN
51:42 and was ready for baptism.
51:44 She owns one or two large factories.
51:47 She is a woman of means, and she joined the group,
51:50 and she is putting her money there.
51:52 You see her there in the picture.
51:53 The fellow with the purple shirt and tie
51:55 right over his shoulder,
51:57 right over the doctor's shoulder is the lady in gray.
52:00 She is a woman of means, walked into the church
52:04 and is part of the 3ABN team,
52:06 was baptized into the church after year.
52:08 Next to her is a woman in the yellow.
52:12 She is a large plantation owner,
52:14 owns a sugar plantation.
52:16 She has the same testimony,
52:17 walked into the church after watching 3ABN,
52:20 and is now part of the group that is supporting 3ABN.
52:23 If we can go back to that picture
52:25 for just a second, Robert, if you will.
52:27 All right, you see the lady in gray,
52:29 the lady in yellow.
52:30 If you go to the fellow in the purple shirt,
52:32 white tie just over his shoulder is Asher Saya,
52:36 he is the first elder of the church,
52:38 also works at the hospital and was kind of the person
52:41 who got this group together.
52:42 Now the Dr. Davalia on the end sort of coordinates the group,
52:46 but these people are all very, very invested
52:49 and we didn't have time to hear from them all
52:50 but they all have the strong testimony
52:52 about what 3ABN is doing in the church
52:54 and of course their motto Irma is 3ABN till Jesus comes.
53:01 Amen.
53:02 Now, we've gone over,
53:03 we're gonna go to our newsbreak,
53:05 come back, say goodbye to Ray and Raquel,
53:06 and then have a closing thought.
