00:07 Mending broken people 00:12 I want to spend my life 00:18 Removing pain 00:24 Lord, let my words 00:30 Heal a heart that hurts 00:34 I want to spend my life 00:40 Mending broken people 00:46 I want to spend my life 00:51 Mending broken people 01:09 Hello, I'm Shelly Quinn. I'm JD Quinn. 01:11 And we are so glad that you are joining us 01:13 for another 3ABN Today. 01:15 We want to take this opportunity 01:17 to give you our heartfelt thanks 01:21 for your love and your prayers 01:22 and your financial support of 3ABN, 01:25 The Mending Broken People Network. 01:27 And, boy, are we gonna talk about 01:29 mending broken people today. 01:31 We have four wonderful young men, humble, 01:34 but on fire for the Lord, 01:36 who are in a true rescue mission. 01:40 And we're just excited about that. 01:42 Let me read it the scripture that will kind of set this up. 01:46 This is from Luke 21, 01:49 and I'm gonna read verses 25-26. 01:52 And you know, if you watch the news, 01:54 you listen to the radio, 01:55 read a newspaper or get on the internet. 01:58 You know 01:59 that natural disasters are increasing, 02:03 they are multiplying a number. 02:06 And what the Bible says, Luke 21:25. 02:10 These are Jesus words, He said, 02:12 "There will be signs in the sun, in the moon, 02:14 and in the stars, 02:15 and on the earth distress of nations, 02:17 with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring, 02:22 men's hearts failing them from fear 02:26 and the expectation of those things 02:29 which are coming on the earth, 02:32 for the powers of the heavens will be shaken." 02:34 We are witnessing, that we are witnessing 02:39 how they are growing exponentially. 02:41 And the point that this program is all about 02:45 is to talk about the golden hour 02:50 when people are needing hope the most 02:54 and when you can reach them the most. 02:56 So, the easiest I should say, without further ado, 03:00 allow me... 03:02 Yeah, the thing that I like about 03:03 this particular program, this is a very unique time... 03:06 Yes, it is. 03:07 Because of this, I don't know 03:08 if I've ever really talked to anybody 03:10 that does what these young men do. 03:12 Let's tell them what they do. Okay. 03:14 Okay, we have Brock Mayer. 03:17 And, Brock, you are... 03:20 Would you say you're the founder 03:22 of the Gideon Rescue Company? 03:25 He is, but he'll be too humble to say so. 03:27 Okay. A beginning team member, sure. 03:29 A beginning team member, 03:31 but you are the director of Gideon Rescue Company 03:36 and you are a paramedic, right? 03:38 A paramedic and a nurse. And a nurse. 03:40 Well, we're very glad to have you here, Brock. 03:42 Thank you. And then we have Kory Meidell. 03:44 And, Kory, you are the training director 03:48 for your Gideon Rescue Company. 03:51 That's correct. But what is your day job? 03:56 Oh, I'll be working as an EMT here soon. 04:00 I've been doing construction recently. 04:02 Okay. Okay. 04:03 And, yeah. 04:05 Then we have Chris Armantrout. Yes, Ma'am. 04:07 Chris, you are a team member and a logistics manager, 04:12 I guess you would say. 04:13 Yeah, that the title was logistics coordinator 04:15 was what I was told. 04:17 Logistics coordinator. Yes, Ma'am. 04:19 And what is your day job? 04:21 My day job, I work as a mortgage broker. 04:23 Okay. That's fascinating. 04:25 Yeah, that's a little bit different spectrum. 04:27 So, yeah. 04:29 And then Patrick Coffey. Yes. 04:31 Patrick, you are also a team member. 04:33 And you're in the logistics end of this. 04:35 And what do you do, Patrick? 04:40 Well, I... 04:42 After Hurricane Dorian, I quit my job 04:45 because the Lord impressed me so much over there. 04:48 And I just started working for myself 04:52 and to be more involved in handing out literature 04:56 and doing ministry work. 04:57 Amen. Amen. 04:59 So let's just jump right into this 05:00 because this is fascinating. 05:04 The Gideon Rescue Company. 05:07 These young men who volunteer 05:12 and go out when there's hurricanes 05:14 or tornadoes that strike. 05:16 Tell us how you began this ministry? 05:21 You have to really begin the credit due to 05:24 Dr. Michael Duehrssen, who started the Union College, 05:27 International Rescue and Relief Program. 05:29 And he had a vision, it was incredible vision 05:31 because his whole premise was to take young people 05:36 to give them practical skills and training 05:38 to respond to disasters as first responders, 05:41 but not just to practically help people 05:43 give a helping hand, but more importantly, 05:44 to spiritually be there 05:46 to share the gospel in times of need. 05:49 Amen. 05:50 So you two met in college, is that correct? 05:53 That's right. Okay. 05:54 And give us a little... 05:56 How did you come up with the name 05:57 of the Gideon Rescue Company? 06:00 This was shortly after we finished 06:01 most of our studies at Union College 06:03 and the Lord just, I mean, 06:05 we had a real conversion experience 06:07 in our lives we saw that 06:09 God had bigger plans and a bigger vision 06:11 for our lives personally. 06:13 And so as we begin to talk about this, 06:15 one of the stories that really 06:17 was inspirational to us was the story of Gideon. 06:18 Right. 06:20 And you see some incredible things 06:21 and story of Gideon, 06:23 where here God uses a man who recognizes. 06:25 I'm the least of the least like, 06:28 and yet You would use me Lord, like I don't know 06:30 if I'm sure about this, but yeah, 06:31 God puts us in forward. 06:33 And in the end, He uses unconventional methods 06:37 to reach and save all of Israel. 06:40 You know, the torch, a pitcher, you know, 06:42 those are things that you wouldn't typically 06:44 take to a battle, 06:45 but yet in the end God wins the day. 06:48 Amen. Amen. 06:49 So the first trip to Haiti was a very humble team. 06:54 You guys didn't have money and funds and organization, 06:57 but when they came back, they were able to say 07:00 how God really made 07:01 an impossible situation work out, 07:03 so that they could be a valuable service. 07:06 And that really reached me. 07:09 I saw that God could be very personal. 07:11 And that led me to a decision. 07:13 And then further after that, to join the team too. 07:16 Amen, and that... 07:18 I love that you have scripture. 07:20 And that kind of became your model 07:22 or your mission, would you share that? 07:25 So something that we have really experienced 07:30 in Scripture is Matthew Chapter 10. 07:33 And in Matthew 10, 07:35 Jesus has sent out His 12 disciples, 07:38 and He sends them out in a very unconventional way. 07:42 And we're reading here in verse 6 or 7. 07:47 "And as you go preach, saying, 07:49 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 07:51 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, 07:53 raise the dead, cast out devils. 07:56 Freely you have received, freely give. 07:58 Provide neither gold nor silver 08:01 nor brass in your purses, nor scrip for your journey..." 08:04 The scrip's like a backpack. 08:06 "Neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves, 08:10 for the workman is worthy of his meat." 08:13 And what we found is that we can go 08:17 without knowing everything in advance 08:20 without having everything predetermined preset, 08:23 we can go on faith, trusting that God's 08:27 gonna make it work out. 08:29 And that's really 08:31 how a disaster situation has to be 08:33 because how can you arrange everything 08:35 in a place ahead of time. 08:37 You don't know 08:38 where the disaster is going to hit. 08:39 And you don't have connections all over the world. 08:42 And we're an international response team. 08:44 So we go as prepared as we can be, 08:47 but the Lord has to do so much that we are just unable to do. 08:51 Amen. 08:53 I mean, we had to put out prayer. 08:55 So truly willing vessels. 08:57 Oh, yeah. Most certainly. 08:59 And truly surrendered and willing to lead... 09:02 or follow the lead of the Holy Spirit. 09:04 Yes. 09:06 So now, Chris, your first experience 09:08 was in Panama City, right? 09:09 Yes, Ma'am. 09:11 When Panama City got hit by a hurricane, 09:14 Brock called me up a week before it, 09:16 we actually hadn't any clue what was going to be happening, 09:19 and they encouraged me to join the team. 09:21 And my first question was, I'm not medical, 09:24 I have no training for medical 09:26 and how can I be of service to this? 09:27 And his response was very much, 09:30 well, you can be a logistics coordinator. 09:33 And I was like, that's fine, Brock. 09:34 But what does one do as a logistics coordinator? 09:39 And then we came to conclusion that we, 09:41 you know, sometimes life is figured out as you go, 09:43 and that's kind of what we've done. 09:46 And a week later, he calls me up and says, 09:49 "Well, you've been called up, it's time to for active duty." 09:52 And I'm like, "What do you mean?" 09:54 He's like, well, 09:55 "We really need you to go to Panama City, 09:58 to be active down there." 10:00 And I'm like... 10:01 So, you knew this was actually even before the hurricane? 10:03 You just knew it was growing in intensity 10:07 and he had you going? 10:08 Well, I had no clue that there was a hurricane 10:11 in the coast, off the coast. 10:12 That was not something that I was planning for. 10:14 Yeah. 10:15 But I was willing and a week later 10:17 when he called me, it was a lot of heart searching 10:20 to figure out if this is gonna be 10:22 something that I was truly gonna 10:24 bite the bullet and do, 10:25 but it was one of the best adventures of my life. 10:28 Well, I know that you guys... 10:31 As you just read from Matthew Chapter 10. 10:35 You go with very little, you've got what did you say 10:40 you took a backpack with some water and... 10:44 Trail mix, backpack, a water bottle... 10:47 That's how we travel. A sleeping bag. 10:50 I think that was pretty... And I had some... 10:51 I had a box of literature. 10:53 And I think, I brought one copy 10:57 of the Great Controversy maybe. 10:58 Okay. 11:00 Now, and I wanna get to that point 11:02 because this touched me so much as we were talking 11:06 with him right before the interview. 11:08 And that is, let's talk about the Golden Hour. 11:12 When disaster strikes, and there's all kinds of teams 11:18 showing up from different things. 11:20 But what makes your team different 11:24 is the spiritual ministry is number one on your list. 11:29 Let's talk about the Golden Hour. 11:31 Absolutely. 11:32 So in pre hospital medicine, we have a concept 11:36 that's very popular, and most people understand 11:39 and that is there's a Golden Hour 11:41 from the time an accident occurs. 11:43 We have fast ambulances, we have fast helicopters 11:46 for the reason that we can pick those patients up 11:48 and get them to definitive care 11:50 as quickly as possible to save life and limb. 11:53 Now, what's interesting 11:54 as we've responded to these disasters, 11:56 we've discovered that there's a parallel principle 11:59 in the spiritual realm. 12:01 Meaning that from the time an accident occurs 12:05 or even a disaster occurs, 12:07 then people are hurting 12:11 and they need help. 12:12 Not just physically, 12:13 but most importantly, spiritually. 12:15 Amen. 12:16 In fact, there's an old adage, and probably most of us 12:18 have heard it at some point or another. 12:20 But you know, 12:21 you can live weeks without food, 12:24 days without water, minutes without air, 12:26 but you can't live a moment without hope. 12:28 Amen. And how true. 12:30 So have you found that when you're talking about 12:33 the Golden Hour, when you arrive, 12:35 and you get there really quickly, how open... 12:39 I mean, let's talk about the kinds of services you do 12:42 because sometimes 12:43 when you think of search and rescue, you're thinking 12:45 and I'm sure you get involved in that, 12:47 we see their equipment here, the helmet and the rope 12:51 and then this that they're using, 12:53 and we might think you may be pulling someone 12:56 out of water, out of a dangerous situation, 12:58 but really a lot of what you do 13:02 and let's just talk about Hurricane Dorian, 13:04 where you were all in the Bahamas. 13:07 A lot of what you do is simple enough that 13:12 I could do it. 13:14 I could be a part of this search and rescue team. 13:18 Tell us about the people that you prayed with. 13:23 And well, let's just go into the whole Hurricane Dorian 13:27 and how God provided for their needs 13:29 when they had no idea they just showed up. 13:32 And there's so many things that happened. 13:36 Let's talk about the plane. 13:37 Let's talk about the supplies that were coming 13:41 and then how God met your needs? 13:43 Absolutely. 13:45 We actually in Hurricane Michael 13:48 was the first time I'd worked with a group 13:49 called Arrow Bridge. 13:51 And this is a group that 13:53 is not a faith based group. 13:55 But we had a real awesome conversation with them 13:58 and they saw the potential 14:00 to where we could team up together 14:02 and Arrow Bridge is a flight broker. 14:05 So they basically offer air, you know, air. 14:09 Transport. Yeah, transportation. 14:12 And this when we say flight broker, 14:13 these would be people 14:15 who are volunteering their air craft 14:16 to be used for disaster? 14:17 Yeah, they're volunteering their time, 14:19 general aviation volunteer their time, 14:20 their pilots their fuel, to fly supplies, 14:22 medical personnel, 14:24 anything that's really needed in a disaster scene. 14:27 These people sign up for these missions. 14:29 And so this was the first time 14:32 we actually had worked with them. 14:33 And it was an amazing experience 14:36 where these guys, 14:37 the three of these guys here in Florida were able to 14:40 be the point of contact on the ground 14:42 to distribute all of this food, water, 14:44 aid that was coming into the Panhandle, 14:46 Florida that time. 14:48 The air bridge flew an over 40 private planes 14:51 worth of supplies in the Hurricane Michael, 14:54 that was in 2018. 14:56 And it was really a good seamless exercise there 15:01 because they flew in the supplies, 15:03 we stored them at the hangar, and we brought them 15:06 to the local church, and then to serve. 15:09 They bring in church academy kids, 15:12 and they hand out the supplies. 15:14 So then they operated at the point of distribution 15:16 for two weeks. 15:18 And our POD, point of distribution 15:21 had many things that the normal 15:24 and regular pods didn't have them. 15:26 The normal pods just have like food and water and ice. 15:29 And we had all kinds of things, 15:32 sleeping bags and phone chargers and, 15:35 I mean, you name it. 15:36 And it was good. 15:38 But the most important thing that you had 15:41 is what you have found is the most important thing. 15:46 And that is something written material 15:50 that can give people hope. 15:51 So when you were in... You've got this now. 15:55 I mean, God has arranged for you, 15:58 your small group, you didn't have planes, 16:02 you didn't have... 16:04 Now you have a whole network of planes 16:06 available to you. 16:08 You don't have to worry about the upkeep. 16:10 But when you get there, tell us what happened 16:12 when you arrived in the Bahamas? 16:15 Because these guys just show up, 16:18 they have no idea where they're going, 16:21 they're just trusting the Lord, 16:22 they're praying all the time and they show up and say, 16:25 okay, Lord, now what? 16:26 So what happened when you get to the Bahamas? 16:28 Hurricane Dorian was a unique storm, 16:32 in the sense that it was unprecedented. 16:34 We've never seen a storm of this magnitude, 16:36 size, strength, local... 16:40 Duration? Yeah, duration. 16:42 It sat on the Bahamas for days. 16:45 And that was something that they just hadn't seen before. 16:46 Yeah. 16:48 So when we talk about 16:49 the scale of how large this disaster was, 16:52 it truly was much larger 16:53 and I think we can even picture, 16:55 and so it took some time to get to the Bahamas actually. 16:59 Because you got to wait for the storm to pass, 17:01 you know, the weather was not safe enough to fly. 17:03 And so it took a few days waiting on the ground, 17:05 which was a trying experience for us as a team 17:07 as we're ready to go. 17:08 But we waited and the Lord actually... 17:10 finally was able to provide a plane 17:14 that was able to take us into the Bahamas. 17:18 And the Bahamas are network of islands. 17:20 They're not very high in elevation, five feet. 17:23 Yeah, so I mean, 17:25 the storms just caught a little bit. 17:26 But the plane that took us in was 17:28 just a private individual who own this jet 17:31 that he flew down from Ohio and picked us up 17:34 and was graciously taking us into Marsh Harbor was our goal, 17:39 our direction that we're headed. 17:41 One of the hardest hit places. 17:43 And he inserted us there and it was just incredibly, 17:46 every step of the way God was leading, opening doors, 17:49 guiding, directing, as we're praying, 17:51 and just humbly willing to go where God would send us. 17:55 And so we ended up at the main airport there 17:57 in Marsh Harbor and it was in fact 18:01 one of the few buildings on the island 18:03 that was still standing. 18:04 Everything else was completely gone. 18:07 So you've got all of this material 18:11 that's going to be coming in from the plane. 18:14 Where were you gonna set up? 18:15 I mean, how did God handle that? 18:19 You know, we certainly go in not knowing. 18:21 But God gave us the best accommodations 18:24 on the island really. 18:26 Won't you tell them about it? All right. 18:30 The airport itself has a block building 18:33 for the customs, 18:34 agency when you fly into the island 18:36 and one of power I had a diesel generator 18:40 that was still allowing power to be provided. 18:43 It didn't have running water, but it did provide 18:45 like a secure environment as a food product in that 18:49 we could be able to store it until we can find a network 18:51 to be able to provide and pass our product. 18:56 But you've got other people who are coming to be 18:58 able to help out, other professional teams. 19:01 And we were able to build a relationship 19:03 with the airport manager. 19:04 And he gave us the customs area that was 19:08 and we cleaned it up a little bit, 19:10 but it was a prime spot of any spot on the island 19:12 to be able to securely store what we were flying in 19:17 before we could actually start passing things out. 19:19 And saying note on that, you have to realize that 19:21 in a disaster scene space is a premium. 19:24 I bet. 19:26 So location, location, location, right? 19:28 I mean, it's, location is everything. 19:31 And so the space that we were given, 19:33 I mean, these are teams 19:34 from around the world, you know, 19:35 the United States was there with their military. 19:37 I mean, everybody's, they're looking for a space 19:39 to set up their headquarters, the place to operate out of, 19:41 and here we were given this incredible open, 19:46 you know, customs and immigration space, 19:49 all for the use that that we needed for supplies. 19:52 And there were so many people who were then coming, 19:55 God actually was drawing the people to you 19:58 because they were trying to get off the island. 20:01 The devastation was so complete 20:03 that the name of the whole situation 20:06 was evacuation. 20:08 People were not gonna stay and they were trying to get off 20:11 as quickly as they could. 20:12 And so thousands of people were coming to the airport, 20:15 thousands of people were down at the port, 20:16 thousands of people were at the clinic 20:18 trying to get any transportation method 20:22 they could to leave the island. 20:23 Yeah. 20:24 You know, I have to just say one thing that 20:26 what amazes me is that we hear about like 20:29 the Red Cross or ADRA, 20:31 even you know with the Adventist Church. 20:34 I didn't know that there were people 20:37 in general aviation 20:39 who are willing to fly their planes and do all this. 20:43 This is wonderful. 20:44 But many of these programs go down 20:47 and they are handing out food and water. 20:51 But like you've said, there is that 20:55 immediate need for hope. 20:58 Tell us how you're meeting that need? 21:03 I can share that 21:05 in one of the personal experiences 21:07 we had, there was a family there. 21:10 And we had been giving them some water and food. 21:13 And afterwards we just offered, we said, may we pray with you. 21:17 And they melted. 21:19 I mean, they were just in tears, 21:20 you know, and they gathered their entire family around 21:23 and we gathered our team 21:24 around with them, and we prayed with them. 21:26 And it wasn't anything complicated, 21:27 other than that, 21:28 we just asked that the Lord would be with them, 21:30 would guide them, would sustain them, 21:31 protect them, comfort them. 21:33 And afterwards, they said, thank you so much, 21:39 you're the first people to pray with us 21:42 after this disaster. 21:44 That breaks your heart. 21:45 You know, I mean, because you realize like, 21:47 wow, these people have been here for days 21:48 before we've even arrived. 21:50 And, you know, it's an incredible, 21:52 stressful time they've been through. 21:54 Sure. 21:55 But one of your primary objectives 21:58 is to hand out GLOW tracks or books. 22:03 Was it you, Kory, that handed a woman a book, 22:05 who said that, tell us that story? 22:08 I gave out a Great Controversy. 22:10 And I don't know how, but she recognized the book. 22:12 She's like, I've been wanting this book. 22:14 Thank you so much. I was like, Wow, amazing. 22:17 Awesome. Yeah. 22:18 But she'd been there for days 22:20 without anything to read, right? 22:21 Yeah, yeah. 22:23 She said, I've been here for days. 22:24 Thank you so much. Now I have something to read. 22:27 And, I mean, you're there 22:29 you don't have phones working. 22:30 You don't have internet and you have, you know, 22:34 something good to put your mind on is a blessing. 22:36 And I would imagine, 22:38 I mean, this is getting into a land 22:39 that I don't know anything about. 22:41 But I imagine the people just kinda hover around 22:44 where there a focal point... 22:46 They do, that was the airport. 22:47 Where there is food, there is water, 22:48 where there is some type of supplies, 22:51 and so there really isn't anything for them to do. 22:54 Now I know with Patrick, I think that Patrick 22:56 one of his loves is the printed word. 22:59 And I think, Patrick, 23:01 did you not hand out lots of literature? 23:04 Yes, sir. Yes. 23:05 And people were that's what they would rather, 23:08 some people were wanting to when we were trying to hand out 23:11 food and water, they would... 23:13 they didn't want the water or food, 23:14 they was wanted the reading materials 23:17 that was in and out. 23:18 Yeah, it is incredible. 23:20 You know, that, as you'd hand somebody 23:22 a water bottle, they would say, no, thank you. 23:25 I'm okay on the water. Wow. 23:27 But they would say, I want the book in your hand. 23:30 I want the tract in your hand. That's amazing. 23:32 And that proves this principle that we see, 23:36 where the number one need in a disaster 23:39 or crisis situation is not what we typically think, 23:41 food, water, safety, those things are important, 23:44 we don't deny that and we try to provide that 23:45 as best as we can. 23:47 But you can't live a moment without hope. 23:51 What pushes you forward, when you've lost everything 23:53 when you've encountered an incredible crisis? 23:55 What pushes you forward to continue the next 24 hour? 23:58 Yeah. 23:59 And that's what people are hurting for is hope. 24:01 Amen. 24:02 You know, I remember after 911, 24:04 how there was that golden moment after 911, 24:08 when everybody was in the church. 24:11 I mean, everybody was... 24:13 it was kind of like a spiritual wake up call. 24:16 But then you see, it begins to... 24:18 if you didn't meet that need when they needed it, 24:22 it begins to wane. 24:24 So you all are there with materials. 24:27 And I know that, Chris, 24:30 you used to work for Pacific Press. 24:31 Yes, ma'am. 24:33 So, tell us about these waterproof GLOW tracts 24:36 because that's really important in this disaster. 24:39 Fair enough. 24:40 So different perspectives, 24:42 but like if you were to hand someone a bottle of water, 24:46 if it has any moisture on the bottle at all, 24:49 then, and you're also handing them a GLOW track 24:51 or sharing material or paper doesn't always hold up 24:54 real well when it gets wet. 24:57 And so there is a process to be able to 24:59 actually water proof GLOW tracts 25:01 or sharing material. 25:03 So that when you get into these situations 25:05 that it's more durable, it's able to withstand 25:07 some of these disaster environments 25:11 and to be that much more productive 25:13 and you know, maybe it's just not just 25:14 one person who receives it, 25:15 but if they're able to share that themselves, 25:18 then it's able to last longer 25:19 and be more productive if you will. 25:22 And it's not that just... 25:23 Wait a minute, one thing I just want you to, 25:25 because it just occurred to me. 25:26 There are people who are watching here going, 25:28 what's a GLOW tract? 25:29 Yes, fair enough. 25:31 So explain what a GLOW track is? 25:32 Okay. 25:33 So it's a small piece of literature, 25:35 it may be like a multiple fold. 25:37 So it may tell a small story 25:39 or may tell a small biblical fact, 25:42 something to you, give perspective, 25:45 maybe if it's a natural disaster. 25:46 Why is this natural disaster happening? 25:48 What is, you know, 25:49 spiritually what impact is this having? 25:53 So it's not a full book, but a small pamphlet, 25:57 if you will. 25:58 Okay. Okay. They're dynamite. 26:00 I mean, these little tracts are dynamite. 26:02 We love these things. 26:03 Because they really do like what Chris is saying. 26:05 They... 26:07 different topics, you know, where is God when I'm hurting? 26:09 Why are natural disasters increasing? 26:12 Hope in times of uncertainty, I mean, like, 26:14 it's just every topic seems to have a place 26:17 for whatever conversation or interaction that you have. 26:20 I mean, people... 26:21 it's like, wow, wait, hold on one moment, 26:23 I have the exact tract that will match 26:26 whatever situation you're facing. 26:29 And so it just, I mean, incredible even some, 26:31 I remember one of the gentlemen we were sitting next to, 26:33 he was in a state of shell shock. 26:36 And here we were, just give, make sure he had food, water. 26:40 And he said, you know, 26:42 I've never thought about these things. 26:44 But this world, it's changing. 26:47 You know, things are changing. 26:48 And so we were able to share with him 26:50 from that point forward. 26:51 Well, what does the Bible have to say about this? 26:53 Like, why do we see the world changing around us? 26:56 So, they're just incredible ways 26:57 to open up the conversation because at the end of the day, 27:01 what people really want to know is, 27:04 where am I headed? Where am I going? 27:05 You know, and what is the purpose? 27:07 What is the meaning? 27:08 Life without purpose, life without meaning, 27:10 life without vision, what's the point? 27:13 Amen. Amen. 27:15 Well, to me what's amazing is, 27:17 is that there are people 27:19 that specialize in all different areas. 27:21 There are some people that are able to give. 27:22 So they're gonna give the pallets of water, 27:25 some good pallets of food, 27:27 but you're here to help distribute, 27:29 is that right? 27:31 Well, we have... 27:34 are we supposed to answer that? 27:35 All right, just go for it. Okay. 27:37 We have training in lots of areas. 27:39 Amen. 27:40 And we have technical training, the rope rescues, 27:42 swift waters, rescue boat, medical, 27:46 but anybody could do what we do for the most part. 27:51 We go in there and whatever the needs are, 27:54 that's what we'll do. 27:55 So if the place needs cleaned up 27:58 and need to pick up trash, 27:59 we'll do that, and that opens doors too. 28:01 If they need medical, we'll do that. 28:04 A lot of people look at these disaster situations 28:06 and they're like, 28:07 oh, that's for that group of professionals. 28:11 But if you are able to go in there 28:15 and have something to offer, if you have a heart 28:17 that's submitted to Christ and you wanna serve people, 28:22 you're gonna find lots of needs 28:23 and lots of opportunities to do that. 28:25 And you don't need... 28:28 Man, you don't have to be a professional. 28:30 So you don't have to be an EMT then to be on the front line? 28:34 It's good and it opens the doors 28:36 and if you can get it and this is 28:37 that's your calling, great. 28:38 Amen. 28:40 But you don't have to have that. 28:41 No. Amen. 28:42 I don't have that. 28:45 Yeah, you know, we see this a lot. 28:48 You know, people I think unfortunate the way 28:50 that our society works is that 28:52 we leave a lot of these opportunities 28:54 to people who are more qualified. 28:56 But if you go back to the age old adage again, 28:59 God does not call the qualified, 29:01 He qualifies the called. 29:02 Then we figure out that 29:04 that the Lord really isn't interested 29:05 in our many certifications. 29:08 He's interested in willing hearts 29:09 and willing hands. 29:11 And just being good Samaritans, I love to... 29:13 you mentioned that earlier. 29:15 And if you'd like to read that, 29:17 how God used the Good Samaritan 29:21 to minister in that Golden Hour, 29:23 and then the other relief came afterwards. 29:26 So, yeah, and the story of the Good Samaritan, 29:29 you know, there's this guy and he's injured, right? 29:32 He gets robbed 29:33 and laid by the side of the road 29:35 and a couple people come by 29:37 and only one of them choose to help. 29:39 But it's like the original 29:40 search and rescue story of the Bible, right? 29:42 He comes and he provides care on scene. 29:44 He pours in the oil and the wine. 29:47 He wraps his bandages up. 29:48 He puts them on the original all-terrain vehicles, 29:51 which is his donkey or mule. 29:53 And takes him to definitive care, right? 29:56 Which is what we do, we show up, 29:57 we treat them on scene, we put them in ambulance, 29:59 we take them to definitive care, 30:01 which is the hospital in our days, 30:02 but, and that story, it's taken him to the end. 30:05 And then he says whatever the innkeeper needs 30:08 more to take care of, and he provides for that too. 30:11 And he does that all 30:13 in a very specific fast time frame. 30:15 And so it's an illustration of the spiritual Golden Hour 30:18 in that story too. 30:20 Amen, amen. 30:21 So what we're seeing here is, you all had the desire, 30:27 the Holy Spirit put the desire in your heart to help those 30:30 who are hurting and in this, but now, just the willingness, 30:35 you know, it just reminds me 30:37 when you think of Isaiah, who he's before the Lord, 30:41 he sees the Lord high 30:42 and lifted up and God is saying, 30:44 Who shall we send forth? 30:45 And he's gone. 30:47 Here am I, send me, so just having that 30:50 willingness to go. 30:52 Then, again, it amazes me that 30:56 when you said you don't know 30:57 much about the logistics before you get there. 30:59 Sometimes they know nothing about it, 31:02 you just get there, right? 31:03 And you just... But God has been providing. 31:07 And it's interesting that you've got all these other 31:11 "More Professional Teams," who are not faith based. 31:14 So God gives you the best of the best. 31:19 God is... You just can't out give Him. 31:21 But what we're seeing is that 31:25 these disasters are happening 31:28 with greater frequency, greater intensity. 31:32 So what are you looking for in going forward? 31:37 Even though you don't have to be 31:39 a professional, 31:40 I just believe with all of my heart 31:42 that there are many professionals out there. 31:45 Maybe you're an EMT, or a doctor or nurse 31:47 or an engineer, or maybe you're a contractor 31:50 or a cook. 31:53 There's got to be people 31:55 who are out there who are saying, 31:57 you know, I could answer the call for disaster. 32:01 What are you looking for? 32:03 That is one of the greatest needs. 32:06 Jesus, in fact, told His disciples, 32:08 it's interesting. 32:09 He tells His disciples, pray to the Lord of the harvest 32:13 that he would send forth money. 32:18 But this is how we think typically. 32:19 That's what we do. 32:20 We think, you know, pray the Lord for harvest, 32:22 it was important. 32:23 We need money, we need resources, 32:25 we need equipment, all of these things. 32:26 But that's not what Jesus said. 32:27 He said, prayed the Lord of harvest, 32:29 he would send forth laborers. 32:30 Yes. 32:31 Because the harvest is great, and the laborers are few. 32:33 Yeah. Yeah. 32:34 And that's the sad case of situation is that 32:35 it's an all hands on deck need 32:38 in these disaster situations. 32:40 And we're a tiny team of four, 32:43 at one little junction in the airport, 32:45 trying to make the best impact 32:46 that we can on the physical level 32:48 and on the spiritual level. 32:50 And yet, we could have used a team of 50 32:53 and that still wouldn't have been enough. 32:55 Yeah. Yeah. 32:56 And so one of our greatest needs 32:57 that we see is, 32:59 you know, Lord, send us laborers, 33:00 send us other that have that same burden 33:02 and that same call to go and reach those 33:04 that are hurting and in a need. 33:06 I wanna put some on that too, you know, 33:09 right before Christ is crucified, 33:12 when the last moments are really counting, 33:14 and the conversation is important, 33:15 He asks His disciples in Luke 22:35, 33:18 He says, "When I sent you out, 33:20 without scrip and person shoes, did you lack anything?" 33:24 And they said no. 33:25 And we can say the same thing. 33:27 We haven't lacked the resources that we've needed. 33:30 Whatever we've needed, whether it was food or water 33:32 or a place to store our supplies to give out, 33:35 we haven't lacked anything. 33:37 We have lacked hands to do the work. 33:42 And in the type of hands, 33:45 let's talk about the qualification 33:47 because even though 33:49 I called out professionals here, 33:51 you don't have to be a professional. 33:53 Like I said, 33:54 we could go on a trip like this, 33:56 if we would be willing to maybe sleep rough it a little. 34:00 Because you realize if you're going into an area 34:03 that's a disaster, you're probably not gonna have 34:06 the greatest accommodations to you, 34:08 but what you're looking for is somebody that has a heart 34:14 that surrendered to the Lord and somebody 34:17 who is going to let the love of God 34:22 flow through them 34:24 to reach lost and hurting people. 34:27 Right? 34:28 That has to be the paramount desire in quality. 34:31 Yes. Yeah. 34:32 You know, kind of caught me by surprise 34:34 when Chris was sharing earlier that 34:36 whenever you left, you know, 34:40 you had your backpack and you had your box, trail mix. 34:47 And you got there and then you found a place 34:51 where you could sleep on the grass. 34:53 Now, that's kind of strange, and then it just hit me 34:55 where you were, what was going on 34:58 and probably everybody in the area 35:00 were sleeping on the grass. 35:02 Depending on which trip you go to, 35:05 which trip you're going on, but when we went to the Bahamas 35:09 that was largely a lot of everybody else 35:11 was sleeping on the grass. 35:14 When we went to down in Panama City 35:16 for Hurricane Michael, you know, there were some, 35:20 there were houses that were there, 35:21 but for what we needed to do 35:23 and what we were accomplishing then, 35:26 the ground was exactly what we needed, again. 35:29 And I'm sure that it was comfortable 35:31 for that particular time. 35:33 I would think that because the harvest is so ripe, 35:37 that there's so much to be accomplished, 35:39 that you probably sleep pretty good at night, 35:41 when you finally get to the bed. 35:43 When you get down, you better be. 35:44 So you forget about, you know, 35:45 just how many springs you have underneath you. 35:48 You're just glad that you got a place to... 35:50 Where they're young enough to fit in for a bed. 35:55 So, when you are, as you said, what sets you apart 36:00 from other teams, 36:01 you are a small and humble team, 36:03 but God is honoring that humility. 36:06 What sets you apart is that you are offering hope 36:12 not only in prayer but you're giving them 36:13 something tangible, a book. 36:16 What are some of your favorite pieces, 36:18 Patrick, to literature wise in a situation like this? 36:22 What do you like to hand out? 36:25 Steps to Christ and... 36:27 I mean, we did hand out some Great Controversies, 36:29 but we usually kind of 36:32 hang on to the Great Controversies. 36:34 I mean, because there's like, 36:36 we'll meet some very important people you know, 36:39 and I don't know, just God always makes it where 36:42 the Great Controversy usually wind up 36:44 in those people's hands. 36:45 But yeah, usually the Steps to Christ or, 36:47 you know, the GLOW tracts. 36:49 You know, where's God when I'm hurting? 36:51 Ministry of Healing and Desire of Ages as well. 36:54 Okay. 36:55 I mean, that's what people need to hear. 36:57 Now, when you were in the Bahamas, 37:00 the Lord arranged that you're... 37:02 They have a boat. 37:04 And this is interesting because we've got a picture 37:07 of this boat. 37:08 And I didn't know that they made boats like this, 37:12 but this is an inflatable boat. 37:15 And you use this for? It is a very unique boat. 37:19 It's actually called a creature craft. 37:22 And what's interesting about the boat, 37:25 and we were actually discussing this on our way up here, 37:28 the first Sabbath School Mission offering 37:31 that was collectively raised in 1890 37:35 for Seventh-day Adventist Church 37:37 was to buy a boat, The Pit Karen. 37:40 And so this is actually a joint leap of faith venture 37:44 between our group here and also 37:46 our local little church in Ardmore, Oklahoma. 37:50 They saw the need, they stepped out in faith 37:52 and they bought the boat. 37:54 And so the boat is as a tool in which we can reach people, 37:58 you know, in flooded environments. 38:00 But it's a door that opens, you know, 38:03 opportunity as well not just for that physical 38:05 hand of help, 38:07 but more importantly for that spiritual mental help. 38:10 So when you got the boat shipped down 38:13 to the Bahamas, you didn't actually 38:15 have the opportunity to use it in the Bahamas. 38:18 But let's talk about what God... 38:21 I mean, when you talk about 38:22 God meeting your needs, and you know 38:24 what we know that because here at 3ABN, I mean, 38:28 we don't have money in the bank for next month. 38:30 And sometimes you know, when you're behind, 38:33 and God will open a door 38:35 and we just go forward by faith and it's like, 38:37 well, you're already behind on the budget, 38:40 but we just go forward by faith and God always ends up 38:44 meetings our needs, always. 38:46 So you're there and now you've got to get back 38:49 to the States and everything shutting down. 38:51 Tell us what God did? 38:53 The boat was shipped to us on Sabbath morning actually. 38:56 They finally... 38:58 They weren't able to take us on the first plane 38:59 because of the space and the limits that 39:01 we had for our equipment. 39:02 The boat is heavy, all together 39:04 with all of its equipment's about 640 pounds. 39:07 So it's a large load to load into 39:09 any sort of smaller type aircraft. 39:11 And so when we first came 39:13 we left the boat back in Florida 39:15 and Arrow Bridge, our friends, 39:17 they eventually flew us the boat on Sabbath morning. 39:21 But a disaster scene is so dynamic, 39:23 it changes from minute to minute. 39:24 I'm sure. 39:26 And unfortunately on Sabbath afternoon, 39:29 well, not unfortunately, fortunately, 39:31 the United States military was actually coming in 39:35 with all of their large response 39:36 in their aircraft 39:38 and so pretty soon the whole airport 39:39 was turning into you know, much larger response 39:41 and we had the capacity for you know, 39:44 that we could fly so many planes in 39:46 with small aviation and unload supplies. 39:48 But when you can bring a C-130 full of food and water, 39:51 it changes drastically. 39:53 And so our team members back in United States said 39:56 we are sending you a plane and we advise that 39:58 you get on it because it's large enough 40:01 to carry you, your team and all of your equipment 40:03 and the boat back to United States. 40:05 If you don't get on the plane, we don't know 40:07 if we can guarantee your passage back 40:10 at least all in one piece. 40:13 So we prayed about it. 40:14 I know it's a struggle for us because we hadn't been there. 40:16 This was a shorter response than we typically have, 40:19 and we felt that we just 40:20 there's still so much to be done. 40:21 There's still so many people to be reached. 40:23 They're still, I mean, it's just overwhelming. 40:25 And so it was a struggle for us to get on that plane. 40:27 But we prayed about it. 40:29 And we decided that you know, 40:30 maybe the Lord is asking us to do this. 40:34 And so we did, we met the pilot that landed with his plane, 40:38 and he was looking at all of our equipment 40:41 and kind of calculating our weight. 40:43 And that's when Patrick looked at our pilot and, 40:48 Patrick, you recognize him. 40:51 Yeah, I asked him what his name was. 40:53 He told me his name. 40:55 And I was like, where do I know you from? 40:57 When I asked him his last name and he gave me his last name 40:59 and that's when I realized who he was. 41:01 And... 41:02 You got really excited, how this was going. 41:04 Patrick was much more animated. 41:05 He was like, oh, man, I can't believe it. 41:07 It's amazing. This is incredible. 41:09 I can't believe, I'm here with him... 41:10 And we're like Patrick, you're blowing his cover. 41:11 So he is a sports figure. Quite famous. 41:13 He was a famous sports figure and just, 41:17 I mean, a humble guy, gracious guy. 41:19 I mean, just incredible. 41:20 Like, we haven't met many celebrities, 41:22 but this one that we've met was just such a nice guy. 41:26 And so he took all of our equipment, 41:27 all of our team. 41:29 And you know, he has luxury seats 41:30 in this brand new plane. 41:32 And so we're trying to be careful loading all of our gear 41:34 into the plane and careful with the seats. 41:36 Brand new $5 million plane. Yeah. 41:39 And he just Patrick in the front seat with him 41:44 and Patrick was able to fly back with him. 41:46 And that was just, it was an incredible flight 41:47 on the way back. 41:48 In fact, I remember and looking out the window, 41:51 and the clouds were just, I mean, brilliant. 41:54 I mean, just beautiful. The sun was shining here. 41:56 And what I was thinking was like man, 41:58 Lord, like You're coming soon. 41:59 Amen. 42:01 We can see this, like Jesus is coming soon. 42:02 And we happen to have with us 42:04 one last copy of the Great Controversy. 42:07 And it was actually Chris's mother's copy 42:10 of the Great Controversy and it was illustrated. 42:12 And so Kory and I, 42:14 we decided to write just a little note. 42:16 I mean, this celebrity, he's used to signing 42:18 all sorts of memorabilia for people. 42:20 And we just said, you know what, 42:21 we're gonna sign this one note for him, 42:24 and give him a gift. 42:25 And so we wrote him a note and basically just said, 42:28 you know, if the only thing 42:31 that we did on this entire trip, 42:33 was to come all the way here 42:35 and to place this book in your hands, 42:37 then it would be worth it. 42:38 Amen. 42:39 And when he took that book, he was so excited. 42:41 He was like, thank you so much. 42:43 Like, he's really like a gift for me. 42:44 You know, this is incredible. But that wasn't the best. 42:48 I mean, when we landed in Florida 42:50 there we got through customs. 42:52 And then he started asking us questions like, 42:54 who are you guys, and where are you from? 42:56 And so we started sharing a little bit about our team, 42:58 and he said, well, you know, 43:00 said I'm not too far from you guys. 43:02 I can reconfigure a few things in my aircraft 43:04 and change it out 43:05 so we could put straps in it for cargo, 43:07 we could box up your supplies so they fit in there nicely 43:10 and pull out all of my luxury seats, 43:12 and he said, you know what? 43:13 Here's my cell phone number just call me next time 43:17 that there's a disaster and I'll come and pick you up. 43:18 How amazing is God. 43:20 I mean, that is absolutely amazing. 43:25 So let's talk about, I mean, we don't know 43:28 when the next disaster is going to hit, 43:31 but we know it's coming. 43:33 I mean there's no question. 43:35 Let's talk about what the... 43:39 First of all give you're... 43:42 Let's give your website and your Facebook address 43:46 real quickly, if you will? 43:48 I don't have that. Yeah, absolutely. 43:49 Our website is just GideonRescue.org. 43:52 GideonRescue.org, okay. 43:56 And if they wanna get on Facebook? 43:58 Facebook is also if you just look up Gideon Rescue Company. 44:02 We have a Facebook page there too. 44:03 Okay. 44:05 And then I think what is it Facebook.com/The300. 44:09 Yes, that's right. Right? 44:11 And that's the link. Yep. 44:12 Okay. 44:13 But what we are looking for and the reason we wanted 44:17 these young men on here today is that they're looking for 44:22 more laborers to be thrust out into the harvest field 44:26 during the next disaster, 44:30 that we know it's coming. 44:32 So if you have a heart for people, 44:37 if you know that 44:38 you can pass out water and you could maybe clean up 44:42 some trash or, and you can pass out 44:44 a GLOW tract and pray for somebody. 44:47 We want to encourage you to contact them, 44:51 they can just go on your website again that is...? 44:55 GideonRescue.org. 45:01 But the other thing is, you're wanting, 45:04 Chris, to do a special run 45:08 of waterproof GLOW tracts. 45:11 Yes, Ma'am. Tell us about that? 45:14 We've looked into printing 45:16 about a million copies of different versions 45:19 of GLOW tracts that would be 45:21 highly effective during a natural disaster. 45:24 So Patrick had mentioned, you know, 45:26 where's God when I'm hurting? 45:28 Or there's other ones that would be 45:30 more specific to that time frame. 45:34 And so we know that God provided, 45:37 you know, last trips, we've gone. 45:39 And God had provided the needs, you know, when we've gone, 45:41 but this is a kind of a larger endeavor, 45:45 if you will, to be able to make a big print run 45:48 or to be able to find specific products 45:50 that would be beneficial for this trip, 45:52 for future trips. 45:54 And we know that these are gonna be happening 45:55 more and more frequently, and so to try and build... 46:00 An inventory? 46:01 An inventory or a stockpile, so that when that happens, 46:04 it's not a second hand thought of, 46:08 hey, this would be a good thing, 46:09 but to be able to have that on hand 46:10 and ready to make it happen. 46:12 So you're looking then I would assume 46:14 for donations to help with that run that print. 46:18 Yes, Ma'am. 46:20 And we certainly, I know that 46:23 we have Kory came 46:26 and he had one of Danny's books after the storm and he... 46:30 And I said, Oh, did you pass that out? 46:32 He said, I need these. 46:33 So I see that you get a supply of those too, 46:36 to take back with you as well. 46:38 And the advantage 46:40 I would assume of the GLOW tracts 46:41 is just the size itself. 46:42 Yes, Sir. 46:44 I mean, if you were to sit and say 46:45 load up a box of Great Controversy, 46:47 which is one of the greatest books ever written. 46:49 Yeah. 46:51 Still, it takes up so much space, 46:53 and that's the one thing that's really limited here. 46:55 Right. Yeah, it is. 46:57 Space is limited, weight is limited. 46:58 Of course that's where the GLOW tracts 47:00 are such an incredible tool, because you can carry 47:02 a variety of topics that are very pointed 47:05 and they get right to the heart of the matter. 47:07 Amen. 47:08 So that's one of the biggest needs, 47:11 you know, the GLOW tracts. 47:12 It is the Gideon Rescue, cameraman put their logo up 47:15 because I like your logo. 47:17 The Gideon Rescue Company 47:20 and you can go to GideonRescue.org, 47:24 is their website. 47:28 I want to just take a moment 47:31 give you each an opportunity to talk about 47:34 how this has changed your spiritual life, 47:39 how this has affected you personally? 47:44 Absolutely. Who wants to start? 47:46 Patrick, do you want to start? 47:49 Well, like I was saying earlier, 47:51 you know when after Hurricane Dorian, 47:54 Lord had impressed me so much you know that 47:59 I just wanted to be more involved 48:01 with ministry work and doing stuff for Him, 48:03 you know, that, 48:05 I didn't go back to my regular 9-5 job, 48:07 you know, and I just... 48:08 And you had a... 48:10 I mean, you worked for a major corporation 48:12 in big time position. 48:13 Yes, I had been there for five years. 48:14 And, you know, 48:16 I just knew the Lord had been leading me, 48:18 you know, and I just was kind of unhappy 48:20 and depressed feeling and I just... 48:23 I know after Hurricane Dorian, He just was laid me 48:26 in a different direction. 48:27 And so I made me some business cards. 48:29 And I kept, you know, 48:32 my dad taught me handyman skills, 48:33 you know, and the Lord has been providing 48:35 more work at every chance. 48:37 And... 48:38 So, basically, participating in this 48:41 God changed your priorities? 48:43 Yes, yes. Okay. 48:44 He gave your life purpose? 48:47 He showed me to trust you know, 48:50 to live more by faith and have more faith in Him. 48:54 Amen. 48:55 You know, it has been a blessing. 48:57 Great testimony. 48:59 I'm so glad I made that decision. 49:00 I mean, it just, yes. 49:02 Amen. There's nothing richer. 49:05 Anybody else want to talk about how it is affected you? 49:08 After Hurricane Michael, 49:11 I actually quit my job as well. 49:15 But I actually went just I switch companies 49:17 and then eventually started my own company. 49:20 As a mortgage brokers? Yeah. 49:22 You don't have to be a paramedic to do this. 49:24 This is true. This is true. 49:26 But I actually pulled the name of my company 49:28 as Valor Mortgage, 49:30 but I pulled it from the premise 49:34 of Gideon's Mighty Men of Valor. 49:37 Amen. Amen. 49:38 So it kind of took off from there 49:42 and working is out of faith. 49:46 I didn't have a lot of money when I did that. 49:48 And God has been faithful. 49:51 Do you find that being out in the field 49:53 during a time at the disaster? 49:55 When you come back, does that translate 49:58 to recognizing people's spiritual needs 50:01 even here 'cause, you know, 50:02 there's so many unspoken disasters 50:04 in people's lives. 50:06 Do you find that you're more sensitive 50:09 to maybe be a bolder witness or pray 50:12 or has it affected you in that way? 50:16 Say it has. 50:18 But I would also say that 50:19 when you go on a trip like this, 50:21 that it's very much faith based, very much... 50:24 You see how much, you know, God doesn't just 50:26 own the cattle on thousand hills, 50:28 He owns the thousand hills that the cows are on. 50:32 But so you get that spiritual high, 50:34 and you come back, the devil attacks you 50:37 that much more. 50:38 That's true. 50:39 And I witnessed that in my own life that it's... 50:41 Yeah, there are opportunities that get provided to you 50:44 and your eyes are more open to those types of things. 50:47 But you also have be more aware and more cautious, 50:50 because devil is ready to take you back down. 50:54 Sure, he is. 50:55 Anytime you're on the front lines, 50:56 we see that around here all the time. 50:59 So I know that Brock, you are married 51:02 and have three children. 51:04 The rest of you gentlemen are single. 51:07 I just put out a little advertisement. 51:10 I'm good at that. But, Kory, how has it changed? 51:15 Has it drawn you closer to the Lord? 51:17 You find that you're more able to walk by faith? 51:21 You know, I left two jobs that I loved in order 51:25 to start focusing on Gideon Rescue Company more. 51:29 I was a teacher, 51:31 at wonderful school in Moab, Utah 51:34 and wonderful outdoor place. 51:37 And I was on search and rescue there too. 51:39 And it was not easy to leave those things 51:41 and focus on this. 51:43 But it seemed the Lord was calling me. 51:46 And the Lord has originally provided. 51:48 I mean, I moved to a place where I didn't really have 51:50 any sort of network of, you know, 51:53 a new job to walk into, 51:55 a new house and living situation 51:57 and then a career to step into, 51:59 but God has marvelously provided for me. 52:02 Amen. 52:03 And He has provided for opportunities 52:06 for the ministry to succeed as well. 52:09 And I'm very thankful for that. I've noticed a big difference. 52:14 Praise God. And how He provides. 52:16 Anytime you answer the call God is going to do that. 52:20 We've got to take a quick break. 52:22 I'm gonna save you for last, Brock, but we're going to 52:26 go to our news break and we'll come right back 52:30 for a final thought from Brock. 52:31 Amen. |
