01:10 Hello, and welcome
01:11 to Three Angels Broadcasting Network,
01:13 3ABN Today program.
01:15 My name is John Dinzey and with me is my wife Idalia,
01:18 and it is a joy and blessing for us
01:20 to be here with you.
01:21 That's right.
01:22 It's gonna be a joy to share the following hour
01:26 because we're going to take a trip into Colombia.
01:29 Colombia, yes.
01:31 South America where missionaries
01:32 are just passionate about sharing God's Word,
01:37 the gospel with the people, with the locals,
01:40 and encouraging the young and the old
01:42 and oh, we're in for a treat.
01:45 Our guests are very active in their community
01:50 and they are here to share about the ministry,
01:53 the Lord has placed in their hands.
01:56 That's right and we hope this will be a blessing to you
01:58 and also served as inspiration
02:01 because maybe the Lord is calling you
02:03 to do something similar or some aspect
02:06 of what they are going to share.
02:08 So we encourage you to stay with us
02:10 and also prepare yourself to write something down
02:13 so that you can contact them.
02:15 You know Idalia,
02:17 these phones and things you have,
02:18 you can also take a picture of the screen.
02:19 That's right.
02:21 And have it that way
02:22 so you can take your time writing it later.
02:24 That's a very neat thing I found out
02:26 when I wanted to copy something and I didn't have a pen.
02:29 So it's a one handy way to do it.
02:32 So we like to present to you our guests for today
02:35 and to my right is Freddy Castro, welcome.
02:39 Thank you so much.
02:41 Thank you for coming, and your name is Freddy Castro.
02:43 Yes.
02:45 And your relation to the other Castro
02:47 that's from Cuba, you're from Colombia.
02:48 Yes, I am from Colombia.
02:50 You're from Colombia? Yes.
02:51 And you're not related to the Castro from Cuba?
02:54 Oh, no, no.
02:56 Okay, well, thank you very much for being here.
02:59 Next to you is your wife, Connie.
03:00 Connie, welcome to 3ABN.
03:02 Thank you.
03:04 It's a privilege, it's a pleasure
03:05 to be here with you
03:06 and to share about what God is doing with us
03:09 and through us in Colombia.
03:10 Amen.
03:12 Thank you so much.
03:13 Now, Freddy, you are the founder
03:15 and president of a ministry
03:17 called Loma Linda Campestre.
03:21 Okay and your wife,
03:23 what role do you play, you're the consultant.
03:27 More like a medical consultant.
03:29 Explain a little bit what you do?
03:30 Okay, well, by God's grace, well, I served in many areas.
03:36 I have also, I do therapy,
03:40 and I also do lifestyle consultations
03:43 in the community.
03:45 And I am a mop at home school
03:48 and sometimes I get to be secretary.
03:51 Anyhow, we have to play different roles,
03:53 but it's what our ministry calls for
03:56 and we have to be ready to do just anything.
03:59 Wonderful, well, there's a lot more
04:02 that you're gonna find out about Freddy and Connie,
04:05 and about the ministry that God has given to them.
04:07 Before that, before we continue,
04:09 we like to go to the Lord in prayer.
04:11 Yes.
04:12 How about if you join us in prayer,
04:15 and we encourage you
04:16 to remember to pray for the requests
04:19 that 3ABN shares during the day,
04:21 because there are people counting on your prayers,
04:24 and we want to thank you, thank all
04:26 of the prayer warriors, Idalia.
04:29 We have prayer warriors
04:31 in practically every country in the world.
04:33 Amen.
04:34 And we praise the Lord for your faithfulness
04:36 and many people receive prayer request
04:39 through the mail, email,
04:40 and so if you would like to do that,
04:42 you're welcome to contact 3ABN
04:44 to be part of the prayer warriors
04:46 or prayer partners.
04:48 Now this is a volunteer participation
04:53 and when you pray for other people,
04:55 you know when you pray,
04:57 you're drawing yourself close to the Lord,
04:59 and it's a blessing to you
05:01 and it's a blessing to the people.
05:02 So we encourage you to pray.
05:03 At this time, let's go to the Lord in prayer.
05:08 Our loving Heavenly Father, we want to thank You, Lord,
05:10 because You always keep us in mind,
05:15 You let us know in the scriptures,
05:17 that we are written in the palms of Your hands.
05:22 And we want to thank You, Lord, for listening to our needs,
05:25 our prayers, our concerns.
05:28 And at this time, Lord,
05:29 we want to ask You the blessing of the people
05:33 that have called in,
05:35 the people that have emailed
05:36 or written to us through regular mail,
05:39 sharing their concerns,
05:40 their petitions, we pray that You will consider
05:43 each and every one.
05:45 And we thank You, Lord,
05:46 that You will pay personal attention
05:49 to the request and petitions that have come in.
05:53 We ask You, Lord, to send Your mighty angels
05:55 to do the work that human beings cannot do.
05:59 We ask You Heavenly Father,
06:01 to consider those that are sick,
06:03 cast down, discouraged in pain
06:07 and also confused, concerned about loved ones,
06:12 facing financial troubles,
06:14 facing marital problems,
06:16 and those that are seeking new victory and forgiveness.
06:20 Please be with each and every person.
06:23 And, Heavenly Father, we pray that Your peace
06:25 may be upon Your children
06:26 that are listening to my voice in this moment.
06:30 We also ask You, Lord to bless us
06:32 with the Holy Spirit,
06:33 that we may share those things
06:35 that will be a blessing to Your children.
06:38 We ask You to be with Freddy and Connie,
06:40 guide them in what they will share
06:43 and we pray for Your name to be glorified in all things.
06:46 We ask You for these blessings
06:48 in Jesus' holy and blessed name.
06:50 Amen. Amen.
06:52 Amen.
06:55 Well, Idalia, I think it's time to read a scripture
06:58 and we want to thank Freddy for sharing the scripture
07:01 that is Jeremiah 17:32.
07:06 Chapter 32, verse 17. Verse 17.
07:07 32:17, I had it the other way round, 32:17,
07:11 and Sister Connie will do us the blessing of reading that.
07:15 Thank you.
07:16 "Our Lord God, behold,
07:18 You have made the heavens and the earth
07:20 by Your great power and outstretched arm.
07:24 There is nothing too hard for You."
07:27 Amen. Amen.
07:28 Amen.
07:29 Nothing too hard for you.
07:31 That's right and this scripture talks about
07:33 God's mighty power and also,
07:36 there's a message here,
07:38 perhaps Freddy would like to share
07:39 something about this verse
07:40 and why you believe it is important
07:42 for us to know about it.
07:45 Well, it's very important to know
07:46 that the Lord can do anything
07:49 in behalf of each one of us.
07:53 Amen.
07:54 And we have proof that the Lord is faithful.
07:57 Amen.
08:00 It's marvelous the way that scripture ends.
08:03 And it says that
08:06 there's nothing too hard for You,
08:09 it's that there's nothing too hard for the Lord.
08:11 There's nothing He cannot do.
08:13 He's all powerful
08:14 and you have personal experiences
08:17 that you're going to share about things that God has done,
08:20 and how He has answered prayer.
08:24 And we're gonna hear these exciting things.
08:26 So let's have our blessing but before that,
08:29 we have a musical offering.
08:32 Yes, we're gonna have a piece
08:35 that is going to be shared by Roy Treiyer.
08:38 We've been blessed through his music ministry,
08:41 and this piece is entitled,
08:43 "A Mighty Fortress is our God."
14:31 Amen, amen.
14:33 We thank Roy Treiyer
14:34 and indeed God is a mighty fortress.
14:37 That's right.
14:38 And we praise the Lord that He is faithful.
14:40 Amen.
14:42 Well, if you'd like to contact Roy Treiyer
14:44 to participate in evangelistic campaign
14:46 or to give a concert,
14:48 I am sure he will be glad to do so.
14:50 You may contact 3ABN for that information.
14:52 You may find him easily on Facebook, social media.
14:55 Yes, that's right. That's right.
14:57 Well, we are talking with Freddy and Connie
15:00 about Loma Linda Campestre.
15:04 And if you would explain a little bit
15:07 when you say Campestre,
15:08 our English speaking brothers and sisters
15:10 are not sure what that is?
15:13 What is a Campestre?
15:15 Well, Campestre means countryside
15:18 and Loma is hill, Linda beauty,
15:22 so it's beautiful hill in the countryside.
15:26 That's right. Amen. That's right.
15:28 Now, Seventh-day Adventists are very familiar
15:31 with a place called Loma Linda Hospital.
15:34 Yes.
15:35 Is there any connection between Loma Linda University Hospital
15:38 and Loma Linda Campestre?
15:41 No, we are not part of Loma Linda University,
15:44 it's just the name that we name our ministry.
15:48 Okay.
15:50 So Loma Linda is all the way in California
15:53 and you are in Colombia.
15:55 In Colombia. Very far away.
15:56 Yes.
15:57 But tell us a little bit about yourselves?
16:00 We have Freddy,
16:02 were you born in a Christian home?
16:04 How did you become a Seventh-day Adventist?
16:07 Well, wasn't till 1990 that I became Adventist.
16:12 I was born in 1975 in Colombia.
16:16 So in 1990,
16:20 I get involved in church activities
16:24 and our family share the message
16:28 and we accepted just like.
16:31 Amen. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.
16:34 So you were not married at that time,
16:36 you eventually met Connie.
16:38 Connie, how about you,
16:39 would you tell us a little bit about yourself?
16:40 Sure.
16:42 Were you born in a Christian home
16:43 or did you become a Seventh-day Adventist later?
16:46 Thank you.
16:47 I was introduced
16:49 to the Seventh-day Adventist faith
16:51 when I was about 10 years old.
16:54 Well, seven years old and then at ten,
16:58 I was baptized.
17:00 That was through our neighbor.
17:02 I remembered how my mom would study with her,
17:05 she was just a diligent lady
17:07 and gave us Bible lessons, Bible studies
17:10 and then we started to come to church
17:13 and soon we were all baptized,
17:15 my brother and my sister and my mom.
17:20 Amen. Praise the Lord.
17:21 Well, unfortunately,
17:23 we do not have enough time
17:24 to hear your love story how you two came together,
17:26 but together you have agreed to work together in ministry.
17:32 How did the idea
17:34 for a lifestyle center come about?
17:37 How did you come to that?
17:38 What were the beginnings?
17:41 Well, we get married in 2007.
17:47 In 2008,
17:48 we came back to Colombia with great ideas.
17:51 So we start in just a simple doing things like,
17:56 making bread and tofu, granola, sprouts,
18:01 and I prepare those wholesome foods
18:04 and my wife,
18:06 she start to deliver those products
18:09 so that she can tell you more about.
18:12 Okay.
18:14 Well, see I was very privileged
18:17 and proud of the work that my husband was doing.
18:22 Amen.
18:23 Making all these production
18:24 because it was really big production,
18:26 you know, one day he would do bread,
18:29 the other day while the sprouts were growing,
18:33 another day he would do granola.
18:35 And I'm talking about a lot of it at a time
18:37 in a really small kitchen
18:39 and with you know, just in our home,
18:43 you know, simple home and at that time
18:46 we did not have washing machine to wash our clothes
18:50 so I had to use a, you know,
18:53 it's just a container to that.
18:56 While he was getting ready, the production
18:59 then in the afternoon after lunch,
19:01 my baby would go to sleep
19:02 and then I would go on a bicycle
19:05 just putting all the production in boxes
19:08 and putting one you know
19:10 on each of the sides of the maneuver
19:12 and in the back also,
19:14 and I had a backpack
19:16 and God provided in home our lady
19:20 that had a tailor...
19:24 Well, it's call a tailar in Spanish
19:27 but it's wooden.
19:30 Weaving machine.
19:32 A weaving machine. Oh, weaving machine.
19:33 Yeah, and then there
19:37 I was able to bring all our items
19:40 while I was going door-to-door
19:42 to the community to sell them really,
19:46 God had provided all the strength,
19:47 and it was only through him that I was able to do
19:51 and to sell all those products
19:52 because it was really something that needed to have,
19:57 that needed to me to have courage,
20:00 and I praise God for that courage
20:01 that He gave me to speak to people
20:04 who I didn't know and, you know,
20:06 and to have the blessing
20:07 of sharing with them Christ in the marketplace.
20:11 Amen. Praise the Lord.
20:13 Praise the Lord.
20:14 So this began the early stages of your ministry
20:18 and then after a period of time
20:21 that this was taking place.
20:25 You saw the Lord leading to increase
20:27 not only selling bread,
20:28 but also helping people
20:31 learn more about healthy lifestyle.
20:34 Tell us a little bit about that?
20:38 As my wife,
20:39 she starts to deliver the produce,
20:41 she encounter many people with needs.
20:44 So it was a wonderful opportunity
20:47 for her to do massage also,
20:52 even Bible studies so we pray with the people,
20:57 hydrotherapy, yes, simple things like that.
21:00 Yes, yes.
21:02 And also my husband was able to...
21:05 Well, some people had asked us if they could learn
21:08 how to do soy products or the quinoa bars.
21:12 So then we were called to teach in a restaurant.
21:15 I remember there's one time which was very, very surprising
21:20 because it was to teach to a whole team of you know,
21:25 cooks in this restaurant.
21:27 Wow.
21:29 And yes, the owner was very, very excited
21:32 that we would go to their restaurant and teach
21:36 because she actually had
21:37 a very good testimonial for self
21:41 how God had worked in her life
21:43 through the change in diet
21:44 so she would make
21:46 her own vegetarian soup for herself
21:49 and for some of her customers and, you know,
21:53 she had a new hall to release a prize
21:57 and really become a, have a, you know,
22:00 a meal for those who didn't want to eat,
22:03 you know, other foods.
22:05 So what you're describing is
22:08 more of some medical missionary type of work that you're doing.
22:10 Yes.
22:12 And the people are being blessed.
22:14 Do you have perhaps a short story
22:16 that you could share?
22:18 Some people that maybe you shared
22:20 some hydrotherapy, some massage,
22:25 show them how to improve their lifestyle
22:27 and then eventually they saw improvements.
22:30 Yes, we do.
22:33 Well, I treated this French lady.
22:37 Her name is Glenn Dini,
22:38 she did not like hot and cold showers.
22:44 And obviously did not like.
22:46 I don't like cold showers either, Sister Connie.
22:50 But for their sake of wellbeing, you know,
22:55 there are some treatments that required,
22:58 you know, for us to deal with a cold showers
23:00 and then the hot and,
23:01 you know, to increase our circulation.
23:04 And, well, she had knee surgery.
23:07 So I was doing lots of massage and support
23:10 and also applying some cabbage,
23:13 heated cabbage with ginger.
23:17 A poultice, okay, a cabbage poultice.
23:19 Yeah.
23:22 And also exercise, of course, physical therapy,
23:25 the first level of physical therapy and all...
23:34 and at the end of our session,
23:37 you know, we did some of the hydrotherapy treatments
23:41 that can be done to help her need.
23:44 And she was very encouraged at the beginning,
23:48 but not so encouraged when it came to be
23:50 that the treatment call for, you know, cold showers
23:55 and, well, that's something interesting,
23:58 but what's more interesting is
24:00 that I introduced something called Urtica
24:03 which is the nettle.
24:10 Needle therapy?
24:11 No, it's a sting nettle.
24:12 Oh, stinging nettle, okay.
24:14 Yeah, stinging nettle, it's what it's called.
24:15 And, of course, I had to show her,
24:18 you know, just doing this stinging nettle on my skin
24:21 to help her understand that it will help her muscles,
24:27 you know, and tissues, nerve tissues
24:29 to get to back to move all right.
24:34 And so the first impression
24:39 was very, you know, surprising
24:43 but then she was able to manage
24:46 and she was doing the cold showers on her own
24:52 and, of course, doing this, you know, reaction
24:57 and also this stinging nettle as well,
25:00 and she actually did very, very good job.
25:03 She also was,
25:05 we were able to introduce the wheat.
25:10 Wheatgrass.
25:12 Wheatgrass juice and this helped her a lot
25:16 and also her husband.
25:17 So it was very, you know, interesting
25:21 how God had us there to meet
25:25 and to do all this treatment right in her home.
25:28 Wonderful.
25:30 So the beginnings of your ministry
25:31 is going to people, to the homes
25:36 and showing them how to improve their health,
25:39 also bringing them healthy products, massage,
25:43 and different therapies according to the needs,
25:46 but also,
25:47 apparently you also have opportunity
25:49 to share some seminars with people.
25:52 What are some of the seminars
25:54 or, yes,
25:57 lectures that you would give to people?
26:01 We do lectures in cooking classes,
26:06 cooking demonstrations, also in agriculture,
26:09 it's very important.
26:11 Also in first aid,
26:15 all those lectures
26:17 mainly take place in our church.
26:21 Okay, very good.
26:23 Now I understand that
26:25 there was a time when you saw the Lord leading
26:28 towards doing something bigger.
26:29 Yes.
26:31 And that's when you started praying
26:33 for something bigger.
26:35 What was this thing that you are praying for?
26:38 We were praying for seven years.
26:41 Seven years, okay.
26:43 For a property and the Lord...
26:49 We were looking for land
26:51 and in those times, seeking here, seeking there.
26:57 In His providence,
26:58 the Lord show us the wonderful property,
27:01 and has a good amount of water and good fertile soil.
27:05 So it's our opportunity to expand our services
27:11 because people ask, "Where can I go?
27:15 Do you have any facility
27:17 that I can receive a treatment?"
27:20 So we have to tell them,
27:23 "Not now but the Lord will provide."
27:25 And it's time for expand our ministry,
27:28 it's time for build up the facilities
27:32 and receive all these people.
27:35 So, Sister Connie, you were praying,
27:38 and by this time you have children, I imagine.
27:41 Yes.
27:42 'Cause you have how many children at this time?
27:43 Two. You have two children?
27:45 So you're praying for the land,
27:47 how did the Lord lead you to the specific place you found
27:51 because you needed land with fertile soil and water
27:56 and so how did the Lord lead you?
27:57 How did you see your prayer answered?
28:00 Thank you.
28:01 Well, after, like my husband said
28:03 many opportunities looking in different places
28:07 for this exact property.
28:11 We asked maybe,
28:12 we asked the Lord,
28:13 "Well if it pleases God,
28:17 that it will be two, three, maybe five acres,"
28:21 you know these will be good to start we thought,
28:24 and what really got surprised us
28:28 when brother of our church told us
28:30 well, there's a family
28:32 that has a property for sale in.
28:35 And that Wednesday we were actually making the appointment
28:38 to see it on Sunday.
28:40 And it's our Seventh-day Adventist family
28:42 who sold us the property
28:45 and they really that time
28:48 when we saw the property and walked through it
28:53 and saw the wonders that it has,
28:56 water, spring water, and very fertile soil,
29:01 we just knew God was leading into that type of property,
29:06 even though it was far more greater than we,
29:09 you know when we want it
29:11 than we asked for yourself, of course.
29:15 You know something that was...
29:18 Remarkable. Yes, not really.
29:21 Remarkable is a short description of it
29:24 because you were looking for land
29:27 maybe four or five acres.
29:29 How many acres is the land that you were able to purchase?
29:33 The Lord gave us 74 acres.
29:36 Seventy four?
29:38 Thirty hectares, yes.
29:39 Wow. Praise the Lord.
29:42 With 74 acres you can do quite a bit of expansion...
29:45 Oh, yes. For Loma Linda Campestre.
29:47 Absolutely.
29:49 Now, I'm sitting here listening in
29:50 and many questions run through my head,
29:53 but I know that you have a list of items
29:56 that you want to make sure you cover,
29:58 but where do you find your passion for serving
30:04 through the natural remedies
30:06 because you're teaching people to prevent illnesses.
30:10 That's right.
30:12 But you're also teaching people who are already with illnesses
30:15 how to improve their health by lifestyle changes,
30:19 by giving them the cooking classes
30:23 and sharing the hydrotherapy treatments
30:26 that are very important for healing processes.
30:29 So could you please tell us more about that?
30:32 The Lord is good. Amen.
30:35 In His Word, in the Spirit of Prophecy,
30:37 we find too much inspirations
30:41 that lead us to serve people wherever they are.
30:47 So it's a blessing.
30:49 As we read the Bible,
30:51 as we read the Spirit of Prophecy,
30:55 we work, He make us to do something
30:59 for the humanity that are in need.
31:02 So it's a privilege. Amen.
31:04 And, yes.
31:06 And I'd like to share a quote
31:08 adding to you...
31:12 It's found in Desire of Ages,
31:14 page 523:1 and it says,
31:18 "Only those who will become co-workers with Christ,
31:22 only those who will say,
31:23 Lord, all I have and all I am is Thine,
31:28 will acknowledge as sons and daughters of God."
31:31 Amen.
31:32 Amen. Amen.
31:34 Praise the Lord.
31:35 You showed me earlier, you showed us a motto
31:40 for Loma Linda Campestre,
31:42 what is the motto?
31:43 Okay.
31:45 Okay, our motto is to unlock and discover the treasure house
31:51 of His Word and inspire others.
31:55 You know, when we have fuel, gasoline
31:58 but we don't have the spark, no combustion.
32:01 Right.
32:03 So the spark is needed in order to explode.
32:06 Ignite the fire.
32:08 Yes, ignite fire.
32:09 Very good. Very good. Praise the Lord.
32:11 So the Lord has given us the power
32:16 through His Word to inspire lives.
32:20 Yes, it's definitely inspiring to hear
32:23 that you were doing all the cooking and the baking
32:26 and, you know, you put these recipes together,
32:29 and yet and the support that your wife gave you
32:33 by taking the products out by bicycle to the communities,
32:38 door-to-door not knowing where I'm gonna end up,
32:41 who I'm gonna talk to,
32:43 but the Lord led you to the people that were in need
32:46 and that helped you to put into practice
32:48 what you had learned already.
32:50 So, you know, the Lord gives us as much as we can handle.
32:53 Yes.
32:55 So you handled that very well.
32:56 And now He sees that the little
32:58 that He put in your hands to be responsible for,
33:01 to be a steward over.
33:03 Now the Lord is trusting you with 74 acres
33:06 to not only just go to the people's homes,
33:09 because I'm assuming that you'll still go
33:11 to the people's homes if need to,
33:14 to visit the people that need help
33:16 with their health,
33:18 but now you have an opportunity
33:20 to reach far more larger group all at once
33:24 and Loma Linda Campestre Campus.
33:29 Now what are your plans?
33:31 I mean, now you have the land, the Lord is on your side.
33:36 You have confirmation from the Lord,
33:38 seven years of praying,
33:39 seven years of perhaps questioning,
33:41 is this something you really want me to do, Lord.
33:44 I have done this, this, this, this.
33:47 I've have my checklist
33:48 and I'm waiting on you
33:50 to respond to my prayer request.
33:52 And here I am still seven years later,
33:55 and all of a sudden,
33:57 now you're on, you have this opportunity.
33:58 Yes.
34:00 So what is the plan for the land?
34:01 What have you, once you purchased the land,
34:03 what have you done?
34:04 And what are, where are you going with it?
34:06 Right.
34:07 Yes, I wanted to interrupt
34:09 and say that there is a fact that in the area
34:14 that God has placed in us right now,
34:17 we worked just an hour and a half away
34:19 from the property, where the property is.
34:23 So we still have an opportunity
34:25 to connect with those individuals
34:27 that we have served before.
34:28 Right.
34:30 And so the fact or the statistics show that
34:32 there is a high percentage of Catholic people
34:37 in this area, about 85%
34:41 to just a small percentage
34:43 of other denomination and only 2%
34:46 of Seventh-day Adventist presence there.
34:49 So it's a big challenge.
34:50 Only 2%, so it's a challenge and a demand from the Lord
34:55 to get the word out in this area.
34:57 Yes, yes, it is. Yes, it is.
35:00 So the land that the Lord
35:02 has blessed you with is fully paid.
35:05 Is that right? Yes.
35:06 And now what are the plans?
35:08 You're going to grow things, obviously, in the,
35:10 or you already have?
35:12 They have agriculture.
35:14 They have agriculture
35:15 and what do you plan to do with the land?
35:17 I know you have the treatments in the homes,
35:20 but there's apparently a plan
35:23 to build a lifestyle center on the land.
35:26 Yes.
35:27 We have some topics that we need to cover.
35:31 And let me refer you some of those.
35:33 Okay.
35:35 We want to expand our ministry
35:38 in agriculture training program.
35:40 Great.
35:41 And In food industry training program,
35:43 in the lifestyle center.
35:44 Yes.
35:46 And also evangelistic training program.
35:48 Amen.
35:50 Those four are very paramount
35:52 that it can take place in the ministry.
35:56 Very good. Very good.
35:57 All those, some ministry just concentrating on one
36:01 but you have wonderful plans...
36:03 Wonderful plans.
36:04 For the... Dreams.
36:06 Yes, very good.
36:07 Yes, And I must say that, you know,
36:10 all of these were actually taking place
36:13 throughout the seven year process
36:14 that God had developed
36:17 because we were doing agriculture
36:20 in the back of our home.
36:22 We grew lots of strawberries and other products
36:26 and just very, you know, raise bits,
36:31 very small amount, you know, our area,
36:33 but we were able to share with others
36:37 that came to our home,
36:40 and also my husband was able to teach
36:43 while he did some bread,
36:46 the bread that he was making
36:48 and granola and, you know, the cakes.
36:50 Sprouts.
36:52 So he was also teaching during the training program.
36:54 And I was also,
36:56 I had the opportunity to teach massage, hydrotherapy,
37:01 anatomy classes to 12 young people.
37:04 So that was also something that I was privileged in doing.
37:08 Amen.
37:09 And the evangelism as well,
37:11 as we were teaching the community
37:13 how to stay healthy with simple things.
37:15 Right.
37:17 So these things that God
37:20 has put right road in our agenda,
37:24 because this is His agenda, we're working on His agenda.
37:27 Amen. That's right.
37:29 It's something that we want to expand
37:30 and develop more now in this property.
37:33 Wonderful.
37:34 Well I know you have some pictures.
37:35 Oh, yes.
37:37 And also we can see that you have a diagram
37:41 or a logo on your shirts.
37:44 Would you please share about the logo
37:48 and then we can go to some pictures
37:50 or I think one of the pictures has the logo in it as well.
37:52 Yes. Oh, there it is.
37:54 You can see that shows like two hands.
37:57 Yes.
37:58 No, I say, it's a blessing.
38:02 The Lord give us hands to use our hands.
38:05 Yes.
38:06 And I use my hands to make bread.
38:07 Amen.
38:09 And she'd use her hands to do massage.
38:12 Amen.
38:13 It's a blessing to be a blessing.
38:17 That's right. Yes, it is.
38:18 Now I saw that the picture showed
38:21 that your ministry is part of OCI,
38:26 Outpost Centers International.
38:28 Correct. Yes.
38:30 There you go, so you have partnered
38:31 with the Output Centers International
38:33 for your ministry?
38:35 Yes, we joined OCI in 2012 and it has been a privilege
38:41 because they've been so supportive to us.
38:42 Amen.
38:44 And we have been able to learn so much as well.
38:47 And as we network together, it has been a blessing.
38:51 Yes, they are also members of ASI.
38:54 And it's a blessing to meet you
38:57 both there as well in different ASIs,
39:00 but please share with us
39:02 because you have so much more to share with us
39:05 and time is just slipping by.
39:07 Time is slipping by.
39:08 Okay, well, I like to show a picture
39:11 when I was delivering in the bicycle,
39:14 our products so that's just you know
39:19 in front of our home
39:20 and I am holding a cake, a quarter cake
39:24 and we made this woodened structure
39:27 so that the cakes will stay put in that
39:30 you know, bread on top of another,
39:32 and they will go right directly into that basket
39:34 that you see in the photo there.
39:37 And, of course, it was a challenge
39:41 because I believe that,
39:44 you know, riding the bicycle
39:45 with all those packages.
39:47 Yeah, it's the balancing.
39:48 Yes.
39:50 Yeah.
39:51 And some of the occasions
39:54 you know I did you know, fell,
40:00 some dogs kind of went after me and yell.
40:02 They wanted the cakes, huh?
40:04 They were hungry.
40:06 Or they buy first.
40:08 Oh, no.
40:10 But anyhow, you have more pictures.
40:12 Yes, let's go to some more pictures.
40:14 Okay, well, let's...
40:15 Bread, okay, very nice.
40:17 I see your children there. Yes.
40:19 Villa de Leyva, Boyaca.
40:21 Yes, this was in Villa de Levya,
40:23 this picture and you could see
40:25 how God has helped us
40:29 along the way, step by step
40:31 because after those two years of work,
40:34 hard work together,
40:38 God open the doors for us
40:39 to have our products in a stand
40:42 on four or five, five supermarkets in town.
40:46 Amen. Excellent.
40:48 And also, we are supplying to the hotels and restaurants.
40:53 That's very good. Excellent.
40:55 Yes. Okay, next photo.
40:56 Well, I think the time allows for us
40:57 to go one picture after another so that we can.
40:59 Okay, so.
41:03 This picture describe the expos
41:07 that we...
41:08 A health expo.
41:10 Health expo, yes in different cities.
41:11 Wonderful.
41:13 So it's a blessing
41:14 because we invite the community, they come
41:17 and we can serve those people, they need it.
41:21 Excellent.
41:22 Amen.
41:23 And okay,
41:25 we have another picture here with the waterfall,
41:26 and who are the people there?
41:28 Oh, those are our children.
41:31 They're just part of the land. Spring water.
41:32 Yes, this is a part of the land
41:34 and it is beautiful how, how this land is
41:38 and we have a testimony of our own children
41:41 who actually in Villa de Leyva,
41:43 they developed some words in their hands.
41:46 There were actually many, many words in their hands.
41:49 It's wonderful.
41:50 Yes, when we went to...
41:52 When we moved the property, we...
41:55 Oh, look at that.
41:56 Yeah, we had drank our water, the spring water
42:01 and within a month their hands were clean.
42:04 Wow.
42:05 All clean and the only change we did was the water.
42:08 Pure water, okay,
42:10 so was that here a picture of the children
42:11 gathering some of the produce that you've grown?
42:14 Yes. Marvelous, next picture.
42:16 Oh, look at this.
42:18 Can you see the vitamins and minerals
42:22 and all the colors?
42:23 That's right.
42:25 Yes, this is wonderful harvest that we have.
42:27 What is this right here?
42:28 Please explain. Okay.
42:30 An educational maze, I see.
42:32 Yes. Okay, please.
42:34 Sister White tells us that let every worker
42:38 in the master's vineyard
42:39 study, plan, and devise new methods
42:41 to reach people where they are
42:43 because we must do something
42:47 out of the common course of things
42:49 and this is in Evangelism 122
42:53 and, well, we just did that.
42:55 God gave us an idea.
42:58 We looked in and found a maze
43:01 and Google it and found it
43:04 and we made our great lines in the field.
43:09 We use some sticks to, you know,
43:13 place our great lines to mark that areas.
43:16 We got 6000 Eugenia's trees.
43:19 Those are the ones you use to make fences with
43:21 and these can grow as a tree, a big tree,
43:25 but we wanted to trim it
43:26 and, of course, you know as it grows,
43:28 because right now it's about this high
43:31 and we did this planting.
43:34 It took us about two months to do the planting
43:36 of all these Eugenia's trees with our children,
43:39 and this is just a very, very neat idea
43:42 how to connect with those young individuals
43:45 and reach their needs.
43:50 We wanted to design this activity
43:53 to help those young people who are going through stress
43:57 because of peer pressure, anxiety, depression
44:02 and we want to be able to reach out
44:04 to them in the activity
44:06 but my husband will tell you how we're planning to do this.
44:09 Okay.
44:11 We're going to do programs, like handout questions,
44:17 so people can answer and we can see,
44:20 maybe follow up those questions
44:24 and based on the answers, we can address
44:29 and we can counsel them
44:33 and supply the needs.
44:36 Yes.
44:38 Very good, so you have really wonderful plans
44:41 and do we have a few more pictures
44:44 because time is escaping us?
44:46 Okay.
44:47 We still have some projects that we'd like to share.
44:49 Okay.
44:50 So we have respiratory health issues,
44:52 and this is a common thing in some Spanish countries.
44:55 They have the wood burning stoves
44:59 in inside the house.
45:01 Yes. And the smoke fills the house.
45:03 Yes, correct.
45:04 The walls are covered with smoke
45:06 and people breathe in the smoke.
45:07 Yes.
45:09 So part of your education
45:10 is to help people with this concern.
45:11 Correct, yes.
45:13 So these people end up with asthmatic problems,
45:16 really congestion problems
45:19 and we encounter these at homes,
45:24 we want to be able to, you know,
45:26 direct them into what to do
45:29 while they're having this condition
45:31 because it obviously is going to continue
45:34 to be this way, in this situation.
45:35 And this picture here?
45:38 Well, my daughter, she's very brave,
45:41 and she taught a class on how to make soy products.
45:45 So she taught how to make soy milk,
45:47 soy yogurt and tofu.
45:49 Also almond milk and sesame seed milk.
45:52 Excellent, good for her, she has good teachers.
45:56 Yeah, she's only ten.
45:59 Well this is our...
46:00 One of your projects.
46:02 Yes, this is one of our projects
46:03 and our needs too.
46:05 We pray that God will help us to get the funds we need
46:10 in order to do this type of buildings.
46:13 These are our life,
46:15 these will be our lifestyle guest cabins.
46:18 We are planning on to do something economical,
46:21 simple, but beautiful,
46:23 you know that the surrounding nature
46:26 can really impress
46:29 on this lifestyle guest you know,
46:32 his intervention with their needs,
46:36 their health needs.
46:37 And so these lifestyle cabins that you want to build,
46:42 how many do you want to build and how much do they cost?
46:45 Okay, well, we are hoping to build about five of them.
46:49 Okay.
46:50 So that two guests can be housed in one you know,
46:53 in one each of them with separate bedrooms
46:56 and they cost each $4,000
47:00 and they can be done within a very short amount of time.
47:04 Wonderful, so two guests per cabin,
47:06 $4,000 per cabin.
47:08 Yes. Okay, very good.
47:10 Well, we have five minutes left or thereabouts
47:13 and I see we have,
47:16 our friends have seen, the viewers have seen.
47:18 The Noah's Ark. Noah's Ark over here.
47:20 What is the plan with this Noah's Ark here,
47:23 it's just a model
47:25 or is this a model for something bigger?
47:27 Yes.
47:29 This is a model
47:30 and we want to draw the attention,
47:33 especially for the school and companies
47:37 for those children that like to go
47:40 to any place for...
47:41 School fields.
47:44 So we want to build an auditorium church,
47:49 so that we can invite those people
47:53 and in that place we can teach how to study the Bible.
47:58 Amazing stories from the Bible
48:01 and so it's the opportunity that the Lord give us
48:07 how to plant the seed of truth in the hearts of the children.
48:12 So the Noah's Ark
48:13 will have a space for classrooms.
48:17 Classrooms, yes.
48:19 And to be able to teach the children,
48:21 very good idea.
48:22 So this will be something that would attract attention.
48:27 Yes.
48:28 And also be something
48:31 that the kids will talk to other kids about.
48:33 Right.
48:34 Also, we plan to make a model on the sanctuary
48:38 so that we can put a model there
48:41 and teach the plan of the redemption.
48:44 What is Jesus?
48:45 What is He doing now in the most holy place?
48:48 Yes.
48:50 They're setting this as an attraction.
48:53 You know, doing it like that,
48:54 because children like to go to exciting places.
48:56 Yes.
48:57 Take me to the Noah's Ark. Yes.
49:00 And so they're gonna be inspired
49:03 and taught different doctrines of the Bible.
49:07 Yes.
49:08 Now these are future plans. Yes.
49:09 And when we're talking about the Noah's Ark,
49:12 how much will it cost to build a Noah's Ark
49:15 according to the size you want to build?
49:18 You have an idea for that yet?
49:19 Yes, it's about $20,000.
49:22 $20,000, okay.
49:24 And the other project
49:25 where you want to build a sanctuary
49:27 or the tabernacle,
49:28 like the wilderness tabernacle for the people of Israel,
49:31 that shows the altar of sacrifice,
49:33 the altar of the laver and the inside,
49:38 the holy place and most holy place
49:41 to be able to teach everyone, children and adults.
49:45 Yes.
49:46 The plan of salvation is a wonderful idea.
49:48 Amen.
49:49 How much will it cost to build one of those?
49:51 About 2,000.
49:52 Two thousand dollars, that's not too bad.
49:54 Now, this is a life size that you're gonna have?
49:57 No, it's not a life size. I wanted to explain that.
50:00 Yeah, it's a model of the sanctuary.
50:02 So it does require, you know, just the right elements
50:08 that portrayed what the real elements were
50:11 and it should be used as a tour,
50:15 you know, we want to have, be able to have people there
50:19 that would not only listen but understand
50:22 we want them to really understand
50:23 what God is doing for us at this time.
50:26 That's right.
50:27 Now, we were talking earlier before we started the program,
50:30 you want to do something for the teenagers,
50:33 there are issues of teenage pregnancy,
50:36 the children that are having difficult problems,
50:38 what are the plans that you have for them?
50:43 Okay,
50:46 we want to cover things that the people need it.
50:51 Right.
50:53 So, in that particular facility,
50:58 we want to teach like the origin of the universe,
51:02 the evidence of the flood, the literal week,
51:06 the Bible, biblical Sabbath,
51:08 how to prevent diseases,
51:13 also the parenting support programs,
51:16 self-esteem workshops and programs for teenage girls,
51:20 teenage pregnancy education programs.
51:23 Okay.
51:25 So there's a wonderful array
51:28 of helpful topics, education
51:31 and also you're gonna be doing the lifestyle center there
51:35 for therapies, massage, and simple treatments.
51:39 So this is big, big project undertaking.
51:42 And the Lord has been preparing you
51:45 throughout these years
51:47 with the simple beginnings you've had
51:48 going from home to home.
51:50 Yes.
51:51 So it's a wonderful, wonderful thing.
51:52 We would like to encourage you at home
51:54 to get ready to write down the information
51:56 and so you're gonna share with us a phone number
51:59 that people can contact you, what is that?
52:01 But before that, I like to share our ministry,
52:04 request for prayer.
52:07 We want to be able to share right now,
52:10 as viewers are looking at us and hearing this program
52:14 that we really need people to be involved with us.
52:18 We like, we are praying,
