01:09 Hello, and welcome to another 3ABN Today Program.
01:12 Thank you for joining us as you do each and every day.
01:15 Thank you for your love and your prayers
01:16 and financial support of 3ABN.
01:18 John, as we endeavor to take this great gospel
01:21 of the kingdom into all the world.
01:22 That's right, and it's exciting to see that
01:25 the Lord is providing every need that we have.
01:28 And, you know, Danny as we continue celebrating
01:29 another year of 3ABN...
01:31 Amazing.
01:32 It's a blessing to see what God is doing.
01:34 And we have a very exciting program for you today.
01:37 You might want to hit record,
01:39 because this is not just about the gospel,
01:41 but this is the gospel in a practical sense.
01:44 What impact can the gospel make at your local level
01:48 and in changing and transforming lives.
01:50 Absolutely.
01:51 Well, 3ABN, you know, where people know
01:53 that watches from around the world
01:55 virtually every continent and around the world,
01:57 but we like to do things that help at home too locally,
02:01 and so while we have supported ministries,
02:03 whether it's Katrina, whether hurricanes,
02:06 whether it's the Paradise, California, the fires,
02:09 whatever, but there are some other needs.
02:12 And I'm so thankful
02:13 that we have some folk right here in Southern Illinois.
02:16 It's a great privilege to have with us today
02:18 who care about those around them
02:21 and take the gospel, James, you know,
02:23 "Taking care of those
02:25 who can't take care of themselves."
02:26 That's right. And so I'm very thankful.
02:27 But since you've had more contact
02:30 and I have met him a couple times...
02:32 I'd like for you to introduce our friends.
02:35 Okay, a privilege.
02:36 First of all, Senator Dale Fowler.
02:38 Good to have you here.
02:39 Thank you so much for having me.
02:41 I tell you, we met not too long ago
02:43 when I did a little series there,
02:44 and you invited me to come to the Marion,
02:47 that fundraiser you did for the program.
02:50 We're going to talk about the idea.
02:51 I'm not going to talk about it right now.
02:53 But it's a pleasure to have you here on our program.
02:55 And thank you for serving the great state of Illinois.
02:58 Now, what's your district?
02:59 The 59th district.
03:01 I represent 13 counties of Southern Illinois.
03:04 I actually have the largest geographic district,
03:06 senatorial district in the state of Illinois,
03:08 based on population.
03:10 So I have actually 13 of the 102 counties
03:13 and I'm one of the 59 state senators.
03:14 Kenny Gray's old area, right?
03:18 What a great guy and what a great friend he is.
03:20 And we've had Congressman Gray on 3ABN before,
03:23 even just a year or two before he passed.
03:25 We had him to come on
03:27 and he's always has something to say,
03:29 he's always exciting.
03:30 Funny, but a very sharp guy,
03:32 but his love for Southern Illinois and was incredible.
03:37 And the things that he did with the interstate systems
03:39 and all that.
03:41 So, it's wonderful to have people
03:42 who care about the community.
03:44 That's right. And also, Philip Fritts.
03:46 Good to see you, Pastor Philip Fritts.
03:48 Yes, good to see you.
03:50 We had a chance to meet a few months ago.
03:51 You are Southern Illinois Sanctuary.
03:54 Tell us briefly about that?
03:56 Southern Illinois Sanctuary is a place that,
03:58 where that, we love people, we need people.
04:03 And we teach them that they can be forgiven.
04:06 Oh, good. Okay.
04:07 Praise the Lord for that.
04:09 So obviously you both are Christians.
04:11 Yes. Absolutely.
04:12 And wonderful.
04:13 We're going to talk to you a little bit about.
04:15 Well, let's first go ahead and talk about you
04:17 just for a moment.
04:18 Then we have some special music, right?
04:20 That's right. That's right.
04:21 And somebody that is a friend of yours and ours too.
04:23 And brother, Matt, he'll be singing in a minute,
04:24 but tell us a little bit about,
04:26 we're not here today just to talk about
04:28 all the events happening in the world, you know,
04:30 because we have a politician here,
04:32 representative of the people,
04:34 but we're here to talk about needs of people.
04:36 And we're so impressed with you
04:38 and what you do to literally help people
04:41 in their day to day lives,
04:43 which all of us should do as Christians,
04:45 whatever our positions in life,
04:47 but tell us a little bit about your foundation, Senator?
04:49 Well, thank you. Again, thank you for having me.
04:51 I really appreciate it.
04:52 I was raised on a farm in Eldorado, a small farm,
04:57 and something that
04:59 I was always taught growing up myself
05:01 and my two sisters was giving back
05:03 and serving your community
05:05 is one of the most important things
05:06 you can do.
05:08 I'll never forget a statement that my mother told us
05:11 when I was a child, and I'll never forget it.
05:14 And she said kids, said,
05:16 what you do for yourself in life
05:18 is not near as important as what you do for others.
05:21 And so I saw what her and my father did,
05:25 being involved in the community,
05:26 and charity work, and philanthropy work,
05:30 and something that had always weighed heavy on my mind
05:33 was through a childhood memory
05:34 that I had growing up on that farm in Eldorado,
05:38 was about how a couple,
05:40 a little brother and sister were treated at school.
05:43 I always remember the bus,
05:45 getting off somewhat of the beaten path
05:47 and going down this gravel road and stopping at this house
05:51 and a little brother, little sister
05:52 come running out of the house
05:54 and wearing somewhat tattered clothing
05:56 and they were just, they were poor people,
05:59 but they always had an incredible attitude.
06:01 They always had a smile on their face.
06:04 And I actually became really good friends with them.
06:07 Because I was on the school bus with them a lot.
06:08 And we were in the same class.
06:10 But I always remembered
06:11 how they were treated in school,
06:14 because they weren't always clean.
06:17 And it wasn't their fault.
06:19 And I can always remember school pictures.
06:22 I remember this day, the visual and I'm going back
06:24 when I was probably seven or eight years old,
06:26 about a school picture being taken.
06:29 And the boy that was sitting beside one of the sisters,
06:34 as they're taking the group picture
06:36 was leaning over like this
06:37 because he didn't want to be close to her.
06:39 And that memory had always been embedded in me all my life.
06:44 And I always wondered how they did in life.
06:48 So approximately 18 years ago
06:51 the good Lord woke me up one middle of night and said,
06:54 Dale said, I want you to supply underprivileged children
06:57 with new shoes and clothes for school
06:59 otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity.
07:03 So, did a lot of contemplating
07:06 and thinking about how I would do this.
07:08 So I put a little junior golf event together
07:12 for underprivileged children actually,
07:14 that never have an opportunity.
07:16 My children played a little bit of junior golf
07:19 and I went to the golf course at Harrisburg
07:22 and they rolled out the red carpet
07:24 and all I wanted to do,
07:26 the whole vision was to be able to go back
07:27 to the elementary school where my memory had occurred,
07:32 and be able to go in there and talk to the teachers
07:35 and say, I would love to be able to supply
07:37 four or five children each and every year
07:40 with a brand new wardrobe
07:42 that otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity to have.
07:44 And when I say a wardrobe, you know, three pair of jeans,
07:47 three, four shirts, socks, underwear, you know, shoes,
07:50 coat, everything brand new, nothing used.
07:53 And so put the little event together.
07:55 Didn't ask for single donation.
07:57 I just charged a little nominal registration fee
08:02 and a couple of companies reached out to me
08:04 and said, hey, we'd like to supply the T-shirts,
08:06 we'd like to cook for the kids.
08:08 So, put the event together and my goal was to have about,
08:13 you know, I was hoping to have about 30, 30 kids participate
08:17 and hopefully be able to raise enough
08:18 to be able to help those few handful of children.
08:21 And I'll never forget it.
08:23 I had 58 children that first year
08:25 and I brought them all in to the clubhouse
08:28 when it was over.
08:29 And the kids didn't have to keep score.
08:31 We supplied them golf clubs.
08:32 We wanted it to be a fun,
08:34 you know, non stressful atmosphere,
08:36 but we wanted the participants, the children,
08:39 and the parents, and aunts and uncles,
08:41 and grandparents that were there
08:43 supporting the kids to know
08:45 that their participation was going to be able to help
08:48 supply underprivileged children with the new wardrobe,
08:52 so I brought them all into the clubhouse
08:54 and told them what their purpose was here today.
08:57 And then I had some parents and some other people said,
09:02 Dale, why don't you tell me what you were doing?
09:04 Here's $25, here's $20.
09:06 I think I had one person wrote me a check for $250.
09:10 I raised $1500 that day
09:13 and went back to the elementary school
09:15 where my memory had occurred
09:17 and talked to the teachers privately and said,
09:19 I have some, some money.
09:20 Oh absolutely, we have,
09:22 you know, children that, you know, need new apparel.
09:25 So I'll never forget,
09:29 the teacher called me a couple days
09:30 after I spoke with the group,
09:32 and she's called me and she said,
09:34 Dale, see I've got this little girl, bless her heart.
09:37 She wears the same clothes every day.
09:39 She's, you know, it's the same, the same visual
09:41 I had of the memory that I had growing up.
09:45 And I said, "Let's take care of her."
09:47 So the teacher and I went shopping
09:48 and bought the little girl everything she needed.
09:51 Still to this day, don't know who the little girl was,
09:53 you know, and teacher took the clothes,
09:58 was able to put them in, to give it to the little girl,
10:00 however, that she deemed fit,
10:02 and few days later, the teacher calls me.
10:06 She said, "Dale,
10:08 I got to tell you about the little girl
10:10 that we bought the new shoes and clothes for.
10:13 Her first day of her new shoes and clothes,
10:16 came running into my classroom,
10:18 came running up to my desk, said, teacher, teacher,
10:22 look at my new shoes, look at my new clothes."
10:24 So guess what that did?
10:26 Oh, yeah. Wow.
10:27 Guess what that teacher did when this happened,
10:30 when she's in the lunchroom and she's talking about
10:33 the difference it made in this little girl,
10:36 in her attitude.
10:37 Our mission statement is helping build confidence
10:40 and self esteem within our local youth.
10:42 So it became this little bit of buzz, right?
10:45 And so we helped more children.
10:47 The next year, we're helping even more,
10:50 long story short, fast forward, 17 years,
10:53 this will be the 18th year of the clothes
10:54 for kids program.
10:56 We are now helping over 500 children,
10:58 between 500 to 600 children in 19 counties
11:04 throughout Southern Illinois now,
11:06 with a new wardrobe for school.
11:07 That's amazing.
11:09 And it all came back to you
11:10 from that vision that God gave you.
11:12 You know, those are those moments
11:14 when we ignore those moments,
11:15 we tend to miss a blessing that God has put right before us.
11:18 And so the political side is one aspect,
11:22 but transforming lives,
11:23 and these are children, like you said, you didn't,
11:24 you didn't even know who the young girl is.
11:27 But she's going to grow up with that memory now.
11:29 And it's going to be a residual impact.
11:31 What you did for me, I'm going to do for others.
11:33 So 500 children, 600 children are going to feel the impact
11:38 of their lives being transformed
11:39 and they're going to feel, say,
11:40 now I need to start giving back to my community,
11:42 that's powerful ministry.
11:43 Yeah.
11:45 And the correspondence that we received
11:46 back from the schools,
11:48 the social agencies that we work with, hand in hand,
11:51 it's just, I mean, I could start telling stories
11:54 where it all starts to boiling.
11:55 But the thing is, we took the action and that's all...
12:00 And, you know, it wasn't that hard.
12:03 You know, I just had a vision surrounded myself
12:06 with some good people and put this event together.
12:10 And now, you know,
12:11 I have my own 501(c)(3), not for profit.
12:15 Then I actually operated,
12:17 I was the president
12:18 of the United Way of Southern Illinois,
12:20 as well as the president
12:21 of the United Way of Saline County.
12:23 And so we operated kind of underneath that umbrella.
12:25 But we started growing so much,
12:27 like, we need, let's form our own foundations.
12:29 Let's have our own grassroots foundation.
12:33 So we did that
12:35 and now that's how it became the Fowler Bonan Foundation.
12:38 I'm working with my good friend Bill Bonan and that became,
12:41 through Peoples National Bank became a big supporter.
12:43 And that's when he and I brainstormed
12:46 and formed our own foundation and here we are today.
12:49 Wow. Wonderful.
12:51 Let's talk to pastor a little bit.
12:53 Philip, how did you get involved with this project?
12:57 I got involved with Senator Fowler,
12:59 when he was the mayor of Harrisburg, Illinois.
13:02 And he had contacted me, and I had tried to contact him,
13:07 and I needed some help from him.
13:10 I said, "I need you to help me
13:11 with a concert at this fair in the county."
13:16 He said, "I'd be more than honored to help you."
13:18 And so he said, "But I need help from you."
13:21 And he had just built the courtyard in Harrisburg
13:25 and we started having gospel singings every Saturday night,
13:27 on the courtyard,
13:29 and we were just using the city's local talent
13:33 or anyone that wanted to, come and sing
13:35 and we had, we had people that came that,
13:38 well, we had one gentleman that came
13:40 and played piano with one finger,
13:41 and you know, but he enjoyed himself,
13:45 and it uplifted his spirits and changed him a little bit.
13:49 But that's how I became acquainted with Senator Fowler,
13:52 and it's grown into be a great opportunities.
13:57 I was retired and he's the one
13:59 that pulled me back into the workplace
14:02 and making me to work in music.
14:06 And I'm enjoying that very much
14:07 helping to promote a lot of the gospel
14:09 singing that Senator Fowler does.
14:10 That's right.
14:12 Now the one that was at the Marion Civic Center.
14:13 Describe that one was, that was connected with what cause?
14:17 With the foundation. Okay.
14:21 We had contacted a lot of the local talent,
14:24 some of the better talent here
14:25 in Southern Illinois, including you.
14:31 It was a blessing to be there.
14:32 It was an honor to have you there.
14:34 And we had formed this
14:36 in order to help to raise money for the foundation.
14:40 And, well, we had pretty good singing,
14:42 we had a real good crowd and had a real good time in.
14:46 A lot of different pastors,
14:48 they had a good chance to see the people
14:50 that are a part of the Southern Illinois area.
14:53 You know Danny's born and raised here,
14:55 not too many miles away from here,
14:57 and 3ABN is somewhat of an anomaly.
15:00 It's out here and I remember,
15:01 even at the Benton Civic Center,
15:02 when I went over there, when we, that's where we met.
15:05 Some of the guys
15:07 that are at the Benton Civic Center
15:08 right down the street said,
15:10 I didn't know 3ABN was here.
15:12 But 3ABN has been here for 35 years.
15:15 But it was so good to get together
15:16 with different pastors in for the same purpose.
15:20 It was, was it about Heaven's Kitchen?
15:22 I think that's the term you used.
15:23 Yes, it was about Heaven's Kitchen.
15:24 Heaven's Kitchen, that event was to promote,
15:29 to promote the Heaven's Kitchen to get people
15:32 to come and see what we're all about,
15:36 in order to see how
15:40 that we can reach into people's lives.
15:42 And we're doing that through the gospel music
15:45 that was on that program,
15:48 of which he was a part of that event,
15:50 as I said, and we enjoyed your music.
15:54 We enjoyed the music
15:55 from all the other groups that was there.
15:58 The Curt Moore's family and all of them,
16:00 and we reached into the hearts of people.
16:03 And what I found out from that event,
16:06 and I haven't had the opportunity
16:07 to talk with Senator Fowler,
16:09 but there were some people that were giving their hearts
16:11 to the Lord that evening afterwards,
16:14 out in the lobby with some of the ministers that was there.
16:18 I don't have a number on that. Sure.
16:20 But... Heaven does.
16:22 Yeah, that's right, heaven does,
16:25 and it was a great opportunity.
16:28 We have carried the music events
16:31 right into Heaven's Kitchen.
16:33 So whenever that, that the people come walking in,
16:36 the first thing they see is our Maitre d',
16:39 who assist them in finding a table and a chair.
16:43 And they are then greeted by a waiter or a waitress,
16:48 and they're all volunteers
16:49 from different people in the community.
16:51 And as they are greeted,
16:54 they're told what the menu is for the evening.
16:57 It's not a soup kitchen.
16:59 It's not like go get in a line.
17:00 This is where that we come and wait on them.
17:04 We want them to feel very special...
17:05 What's that cost to the people?
17:07 Not a dime. Not a dime?
17:08 Not a dime, it don't cost nothing.
17:10 It's totally free.
17:12 So people come in and as you say,
17:14 you're not just standing in line getting...
17:16 No.
17:17 You have people greet you, seat you.
17:18 Wow. That's right.
17:20 And so, we've gone from the schools
17:23 with the kids clothing.
17:25 Now we're in the food.
17:26 And so, now you have these.
17:28 Now, how many places do you do this?
17:30 I always felt in my heart,
17:33 if I was able to get the foundation
17:35 to the next level,
17:36 you know, with clothes for kids in the almost 18 years now.
17:40 We've never had to say,
17:42 never had to turn a child down or a teacher that had called,
17:45 has called us with a referral for a child or social agency.
17:49 So we've always been, we've always been blessed.
17:51 And something I would like to mention.
17:54 To this day, I've never ever knocked on a door
17:57 and asked for a donation.
17:58 This is solely God's work.
18:00 I've actually had people, one time, I had a gentleman say,
18:03 well, Dale, imagine what you could do
18:06 if you did knock on doors for donations.
18:08 I said, this is not, no, I, you know, it's working fine
18:13 and, you know, if someone would have told me 18 years ago that,
18:17 Dale, you would be helping 500 to 600 children a year
18:20 in 19 counties in Illinois.
18:22 I would have said, and how would we do that?
18:25 That's right.
18:26 And feeding so many people.
18:28 When they call, you know, that we say,
18:30 sure when would you like to go shopping?
18:32 But then as I mentioned,
18:33 I've always had in the back of my mind,
18:35 I would love to be able to have a meal kitchen.
18:38 Not a soup kitchen as pastor mentioned, a meal kitchen.
18:42 And I was in my office one day and a lady walked by
18:45 and stuck her head in my door, and said, Dale, says,
18:48 "I'm not sure if you know who I am."
18:49 "Sure I know who you are, I know you."
18:51 And she said, "It's been weighing on my heart
18:54 to open up a soup kitchen.
18:56 And I said, "Come on in. Let's chat."
18:58 So we started talking and said, you know, her name's Donna.
19:03 Donna said, "It's been weighing on my heart for many years."
19:08 But it's a different undertaking right?
19:10 Than going and shopping and buying some clothes,
19:14 compared to opening up a kitchen.
19:16 And so we put a group together and started meeting and talking
19:20 and I told her, I said, I don't want it to be a soup kitchen.
19:24 I don't want it to be where people walk in the door,
19:27 go up to the line, grab a plate,
19:30 sit down and eat and leave.
19:31 I want it to be an atmosphere, an atmosphere and a surrounding
19:35 that otherwise they may not have an opportunity to have.
19:38 So as the pastor mentioned, we greet them at the door.
19:41 We sit them, we serve them.
19:44 We have entertainment and Heaven's Kitchen,
19:47 Harrisburg is every Tuesday night
19:49 at the Presbyterian Church annex.
19:51 And we created an atmosphere that they don't otherwise have
19:54 and it's great home cooked meals,
19:56 and our volunteer base, it's been incredible.
20:00 We have church groups, youth groups, baseball teams,
20:04 FFA groups that call and say,
20:06 "Hey, we want to come and volunteer."
20:08 And it's about a year and a half old program
20:13 now in Harrisburg, Heaven's Kitchen.
20:14 And then I actually had some volunteers from Marion
20:18 that came to Heaven's Kitchen, Harrisburg,
20:19 and volunteered one night, a friend of mine,
20:22 and he called me the next day, he said, Dale,
20:24 he said, "What would it take to bring
20:25 a Heaven's Kitchen to Marion?"
20:28 And I said, "It's going to take,
20:30 you know, the passion and the desire and the people."
20:33 And so, Heaven's Kitchen,
20:37 Marion is now over six months old.
20:40 So it's been an incredible blessing.
20:43 It's just like anything else,
20:45 you know, where's it going to go?
21:37 And, yeah.
21:39 And it's, how many people approximately
21:41 are you feeding on a night?
21:42 We, in Harrisburg, we feed average around 200 to 225
21:47 and we also deliver to shut-ins as well.
21:50 And in Marion we're 150 to 175 and growing in Marion.
21:56 That's incredible and, of course, Harrisburg not,
21:59 what is it 10,000...
22:00 A little less, little less.
22:02 Right about nine or less.
22:03 And Marion's maybe double that.
22:05 But that's a lot of people to feed.
22:07 Oh, yeah.
22:08 Locally, it's a lot of responsibility.
22:09 Every week. And it's a lot of finances.
22:12 And yeah, that's coming in,
22:14 but that's why when John talked to me,
22:16 he said we need to do something to help.
22:19 What can we do to do this?
22:20 Because this is run by, you just told,
22:23 some of the volunteers
22:25 from all walks of life, people who care about people.
22:28 So we wrote a song one time,
22:30 it says, people touching people.
22:31 And that's really what, what it's all about.
22:34 So you have so many volunteers.
22:36 So we say, well, we're here in Southern Illinois,
22:38 there are people who need clothes,
22:40 and people who need to be, you know, help feed them.
22:44 And so what can we do
22:45 and one of the things we could do,
22:47 as senator was asking you to come on,
22:49 and share this because our viewers
22:51 are great at supporting needs.
22:53 They've helped from hurricanes,
22:55 from typhoons, to floods, to fires and so,
23:00 they didn't ask to do this.
23:02 We're asking you, we said,
23:04 you know, we feel like that the best way
23:07 to tell people about Jesus is to show them.
23:09 Right.
23:10 And so some people as only Jesus,
23:12 say, might see is when they come in,
23:14 and they're introduced to this person saying,
23:16 come on in, let me seat you, or whoever there,
23:19 who is touching their life that night,
23:22 and then they go outside and like you said
23:24 to where you had the music
23:26 and then people out and was talking
23:28 to people in the foyers,
23:29 and people gave their hearts to Jesus.
23:32 So, you know, I mean, these are incredible things,
23:35 but it's meeting people's needs.
23:37 I've always said if you say to Johnny,
23:40 you know, hey, Johnny, Jesus loves you.
23:43 He died for you.
23:44 But you know, if you're not good, He's going to burn you,
23:46 he do all this stuff.
23:47 That doesn't mean much to Johnny.
23:50 But if you say, hey, Johnny, you see Johnny's hungry,
23:52 you give him an apple, you gave him a little bit of food.
23:55 Then he wants to know, why are you doing this?
23:58 Because Jesus, His love for me, gives me love for you.
24:03 And so now you start feeding Johnny,
24:05 you build a relationship.
24:07 And Johnny ends up saying,
24:08 a loving God who cares about him.
24:12 So, people, it's not what we say,
24:14 oh, well, you know, I'll pray for you, brother.
24:17 That didn't help give him any food.
24:19 Right? We'll pray for him.
24:20 Well, somebody else will do it.
24:22 No, Jesus said, go,
24:23 you and both of you and Senator, go,
24:27 Dale, into your part of the world,
24:30 and so that's what you're doing.
24:32 And you're showing them the love of Jesus
24:34 rather than just say,
24:36 oh, you're hungry, I'll pray for you.
24:37 Or you need clothes, I'll pray for you.
24:39 The difference it's making in their lives.
24:42 That's what it's all about,
24:43 the difference we're making in these children's lives by...
24:47 There's no question building confidence and self esteem
24:49 as I mentioned earlier,
24:51 these children are walking into school,
24:54 side by side now with the most privileged,
24:56 with new shoes and clothes on and it's...
24:58 The teachers are saying,
24:59 it's making a difference in their,
25:01 and, you know, in their grades and across the board.
25:05 And I would like to tell one...
25:08 With Heaven's Kitchen,
25:09 I know I'm waffling back and forth here,
25:10 but with Heaven's Kitchen,
25:13 sometimes we have more volunteers that show up.
25:16 And sometimes we need, but they keep coming back
25:19 because they get to experience the mission.
25:21 They get to experience the atmosphere
25:23 and the difference it's making.
25:25 I'd like to tell a quick story about the difference
25:27 it's made in one particular young gentleman's life.
25:32 It's been several months ago, at Heaven's Kitchen.
25:35 I was walking around, visiting with people
25:37 and I noticed against the wall
25:39 on the other side of the room, a young boy,
25:43 around 14, 15 years old,
25:45 with his back kind of against the wall
25:48 and just kind of standing there
25:49 and didn't think it much about it.
25:53 Few minutes later, I see him still standing there.
25:55 So I, one of our volunteers I had come over, I said, Hey,
25:58 who's the boy over there against the wall?
26:00 And he said, he gave me his name.
26:02 He said, "He's here to do some community service.
26:05 He's been sent here by a detention center
26:07 to do some service.
26:09 So many hours, so he has to work some service off.
26:12 So, okay, so I went over and I introduced myself to him
26:15 and shook his hand and kind of gave me a weak handshake.
26:18 And I said, "So you're here to do some community service.
26:21 You need to work a little hard."
26:22 He said, "Yes."
26:24 He said, "As long as I don't have to talk to anyone.
26:26 I don't like to talk to people."
26:28 I said, "Okay, we'll work on that."
26:30 So I said, "Okay, here's what I want you to do today
26:34 'cause I know you're gonna be keep coming back each Tuesday.
26:37 And so you work off your time."
26:39 And I said, "I just like for you to go when the people
26:41 finish their meal, go and pick up their plates
26:44 and throw their plates away.
26:46 That's gonna be your job for today."
26:48 "Okay, as long as I don't have
26:49 to talk to anyone, I'll be fine."
26:51 Okay, so he went back
26:53 and stood up against the wall again.
26:54 So a few minutes later,
26:56 I see where some people were finishing
26:57 and I kind of motion them over and pointed the table
27:00 and he kind of reluctantly stroke,
27:03 you know, strolled over and pick the plates up.
27:05 And that was the day.
27:08 And so the next day,
27:09 the next Tuesday comes in to Heaven's Kitchen.
27:11 I said, "Now here's what I want you to do this time.
27:14 I want you to do the same thing, pick up the plates,
27:16 but I want you to say four words.
27:18 When you pick up the plates..."
27:20 "I have to do this. What are they?"
27:22 I said, "How was your meal?"
27:25 That's all I want you to do. Okay.
27:27 He reluctantly did.
27:28 I had to kind of remind him a few times.
27:31 The next week, we start working on his hand shake a little bit.
27:35 And he was in having to take some specialized classes
27:40 because his school work was really not adequate.
27:44 And fast forward now several months,
27:48 he did his community service, did his hours.
27:52 He comes to Heaven's Kitchen
27:55 every Tuesday night and volunteer.
27:57 All right. Whoa!
27:58 He greets people at the door, he shakes their hand.
28:01 As the weeks went on, I had him sitting at the table,
28:04 developing conversation.
28:05 Look at that.
28:07 And he shows up every, without being asked,
28:10 every Tuesday night, and he goes on, he'll go on delivery.
28:14 So as I mentioned, we deliver to shut-ins.
28:16 He'll go on deliveries as well.
28:18 And he is there religiously every Tuesday night.
28:22 He is now, his grades has improved.
28:25 Few weeks ago, he came up to me
28:27 and, of course, he comes up
28:28 and 'cause we worked on that hand shake,
28:30 he pulled his hand out,
28:31 we shake hands and greet each other with a smile.
28:34 And he looked at me a couple weeks ago,
28:35 and he said, "Sir Dale," he says,
28:37 "Guess what I'm gonna do this year."
28:39 I said, "What's that buddy?"
28:40 He says, "I'm going after the football team."
28:42 All right. Look at that.
28:44 Restoring his value. Yes, right.
28:45 Restoring his value. Philip.
28:47 It's exciting at Heaven's Kitchen with the story
28:50 that what he just told
28:51 because I just saw that young man this week
28:53 and he hollered at me just across the street.
28:55 "Hey, Philip, how are you?"
28:58 That was exciting to me to see the change in that young man.
29:02 But we're seeing change within
29:04 not just that young man but other people.
29:06 Their lives are being changed.
29:08 We've seen so many people come to the Lord
29:12 and give their hearts to Jesus.
29:16 In this atmosphere, not just in Harrisburg,
29:19 but I was singing over there one night
29:21 at the Marion Heaven's Kitchen.
29:25 And it turned into a revival service.
29:29 I mean, all the way to the back they were all singing with me,
29:32 we were singing old songs,
29:34 you know, like just a little talk with Jesus,
29:36 stuff like that,
29:37 songs that they probably grew up with this stuff.
29:40 And it was exciting
29:42 to see these kids and the older people,
29:47 the middle aged people, all of them getting excited
29:50 and turning their hearts towards Lord.
29:52 They've just had a meal physically,
29:55 but not just physically.
29:57 Now then Jesus has stepped in and it's changing some lives.
30:01 It's amazing, you know, you've given him
30:03 the physical food and the principles.
30:05 You know, Danny, talked about it in James,
30:07 if you see somebody destitute and hungry,
30:09 and you just say be warmed and do nothing for them,
30:12 but then all of a sudden the door opens
30:14 when you touch their lives with clothing and food.
30:17 And then Jesus said,
30:18 "The measurement of our religion is,
30:20 as much as you've done it to the least of these,
30:22 you've done it to Me."
30:24 You know, Danny, I was looking at the songs
30:25 and I think before we, you know,
30:26 we have more to talk about after the song,
30:28 but this is a perfect place
30:30 where the song by Matt Throgmorton,
30:33 "Little is Much,"
30:35 because we're talking about, you talk about 18 years ago,
30:38 how it started small,
30:39 but now lives have been changed.
30:41 That story is an amazing story about that young man
30:43 who now has found his mission.
30:44 I count now, and my handshake matters
30:47 and my voice matters,
30:48 and I'm gonna now continue to expand
30:50 and feeding people physically,
30:52 and then feeding them spiritually.
30:54 And the song was perfect right now
30:55 and I think we should sit back and listen to this ministry.
30:57 Absolutely. Let's do.
31:11 In the harvest field now ripened
31:17 There's a work for all to do Hark!
31:25 The voice of God is calling
31:30 To the harvest calling you
31:38 Does the place you're called to labor
31:44 Seem so small and little known
31:51 It is great
31:54 If God is in it
31:57 And He'll not forsake His own
32:04 Little is much
32:07 When God is in it
32:11 Labor not for wealth or fame
32:17 There's a crown,
32:21 And you can win it
32:24 If you go in Jesus' name
32:42 When the conflict here has ended
32:48 And our race on earth is run
32:55 He will say,
32:59 if you've been faithful
33:05 Welcome home
33:11 My child, well done
33:15 Little is much
33:18 when God is in it
33:22 Labor not for wealth or fame
33:28 There's a crown
33:31 and you can win it
33:35 If you go
33:52 In Jesus'
33:59 Name
34:12 And all the people said, "Amen."
34:14 Amen. Amen.
34:15 Well, what do you think, Pastor?
34:16 Little is much.
34:18 And that's what we're talking about here.
34:19 You know, it's amazing what can happen
34:20 when we grab hold of a vision.
34:22 And, you know, you find in the Bible,
34:24 there's so many times that the Lord gives people dreams
34:26 like He gave to Nebuchadnezzar.
34:27 He gave to Daniel, He gave to Joseph,
34:31 when Joseph was wondering what to do,
34:33 that Mary was pregnant before they were even married.
34:37 He gave it to Zachariah to confirm that.
34:40 This is in fact the Christ.
34:41 And he gave that vision to Senator Fowler
34:44 and the vision to Pastor Philip Fritts,
34:47 and this vision for the...
34:48 What we like about here's,
34:50 you know, Danny's from Illinois,
34:51 I'm from New York,
34:53 but I've been in Illinois since 2003.
34:55 You know, I'm a staple now in the community.
34:58 And one of the wonderful things about being here
35:00 in this community is making a difference in people's lives.
35:03 And when you see
35:05 that what is done first
35:07 is you care about the individual.
35:08 You know, years ago, I talked about this Apple computer,
35:11 you know, they said, "We exist to empower individuals."
35:14 And talk about that, I mean,
35:15 because somewhere along the way,
35:17 you have to think, "Well, I am a politician.
35:19 I'm participating in the Illinois,
35:21 I'm a Illinois Senator.
35:23 I'm making decisions, politically,
35:25 bills being passed."
35:27 But there's got to be more to it
35:28 than just the legislative side of that.
35:30 When did that fire gets started?
35:32 Absolutely.
35:33 I look back on my life on how things have progressed.
35:37 And the good Lord has guided me
35:40 especially as I've gotten older.
35:41 And I think back about occurrences and statements
35:45 and things that have transpired throughout my life
35:49 that I was guided to be where I am today.
35:53 I feel like I'm a little unique because I, you know,
35:56 I have a foundation and, you know,
35:58 giving and doing for others is a top priority.
36:03 I'll never forget when I decided
36:05 I was gonna run for the Illinois State Senate.
36:07 I went to a prayer breakfast at Herrin for the opening
36:11 of the Herrin Festa Italiana event.
36:15 And I was at their prayer breakfast
36:17 and on the table in front of me was the program.
36:21 And at the bottom of the program
36:23 was scripture, was some scripture.
36:26 And as I'm reading through the program
36:27 before the prayer breakfast started,
36:29 and there was scripture there that just, it hit me.
36:33 I mean, it just like slapped me in the face.
36:37 And I said, "I got to save this."
36:40 So I actually took the program home,
36:42 cut the scripture off of the bottom
36:45 and carried it in my billfold, and I've carried it ever since.
36:48 And that's been over four years now
36:50 here in my billfold.
36:51 That scripture was Ephesians 2:10.
36:55 "For we are God's workmanship created by Christ Jesus
37:00 to do good works
37:02 that's created in advance for us to do."
37:05 That's right.
37:06 God guided me, God gave me that memory,
37:08 when I was a child
37:09 of this little brother and little sister
37:11 running out of this dilapidated type home,
37:12 wearing tattered clothing.
37:14 He gave me that memory of
37:16 how they were treated in school.
37:17 He gave me that memory and woke me up 18 years ago
37:21 to do something about it,
37:23 a little is much.
37:25 When I first, at the first,
37:27 you know, few children that we helped
37:28 all I wanted to do, as I mentioned earlier,
37:30 is help a few children at elementary school
37:32 where my memory had occurred, five or six kids a year.
37:35 I was content with that.
37:39 But God said, "No, you're gonna do more."
37:40 All right. And so, okay.
37:42 "Okay, God, how we're gonna do that?"
37:44 'Cause I, you know, initially,
37:45 I wasn't able to give Him that much apparel.
37:47 But now we're giving him an entire wardrobe enough
37:50 to get him through the entire school year.
37:52 And, you know,
37:54 and to think that it was just gonna be that little,
37:57 it was just gonna be in that one school building,
37:59 and now we are in 19 counties helping,
38:03 you know, as many as 600 children a year
38:07 has been a blessing.
38:09 And people ask me all the time,
38:10 "So, Dale, where do you see this going?"
38:12 I said, "I don't know. It's not my works, it's God's.
38:14 He just guided me to do it."
38:16 You know, so, but making a difference in the life
38:19 of someone else is what it's all about.
38:21 And as a State Senator,
38:24 I represent my district, of the 59th district.
38:27 And you know, I'm not perfect,
38:30 but I make the decisions is best for my people...
38:35 That's right.
38:36 In some moment difficult decisions.
38:39 But...
38:42 it's important, and this is not my career.
38:46 This is just my passion to serve.
38:48 This is it, it is my passion to serve my foundation
38:50 and feed children, and feed children
38:53 and clothe children, feed the hungry.
38:55 It's just my passion to serve
38:57 but it's just been mission that I just been guided to do.
39:02 And that's really the only way I can really explain it
39:05 to do everything that I can to represent my people,
39:10 the people that I represent.
39:12 But make it try to do everything
39:14 to make a difference in the life of someone else.
39:16 That's as important to me as anything.
39:20 That's right.
39:21 You know,
39:22 one thing that helped to attract me
39:24 to Senator Fowler
39:27 was we built a bond on prayer,
39:32 and conversation about the Lord.
39:35 And, you know,
39:37 we look at a lot of politicians out here
39:40 that they do what they do,
39:42 but I can honestly say
39:44 that Senator Fowler is a man that cares.
39:47 He will be in Springfield
39:49 and he'll send me a text message,
39:50 "I need you to pray about this right now."
39:53 Or he'll call me up and he'll say, "Hey, listen,
39:55 this is going on,
39:56 can you help me pray about this?"
39:58 And we'll pray, we take time right now and pray.
40:01 It's not, "Okay.
40:02 I'll pray for you, brother. We'll see."
40:04 It's, "Let's take care of business right now."
40:07 Because he's needing God to intervene in a situation.
40:11 And that's what I love about Senator Fowler.
40:13 He is always open to the word of the Lord
40:16 and to hear from God.
40:18 And he has a prayerful mind.
40:20 But what made you consider getting into politics?
40:26 Wow!
40:27 Funny story is people predicted
40:31 that I would be doing what I'm doing way before
40:35 it was even a vision in my mind.
40:37 Oh, really? Okay.
40:39 In fact, kind of a funny story was
40:42 when I went to, graduated,
40:43 I went to El Dorado High School and I played football.
40:47 And my football coach
40:49 that came out of East Illinois University.
40:51 As a young man, we just hit it off really good.
40:54 And after I graduated from high school,
40:56 we stayed in close contact with each other
40:58 still to this day.
40:59 Oh, we do.
41:01 And in my early 20s,
41:03 Coach Waye nicknamed me.
41:07 And to this day,
41:11 40 years later
41:12 we could see each other at a gas station,
41:14 or grocery store, or at a basketball game,
41:16 or whatever, he is always acknowledged me
41:19 by this nickname Senator Fowler.
41:24 Oh, he nicknamed you that before you became the senator.
41:25 He nicknamed me Senator Fowler in my early 20s.
41:28 And there would be people that would come up and said,
41:32 "What are you up to?
41:34 You're gonna run for State Representative?
41:35 Are you gonna run for State Senate or something?
41:37 Have you ever thought about it?"
41:38 No, no, no way.
41:40 No way, you know? But...
41:42 The nickname pursued you.
41:45 And I had an opportunity to...
41:47 My first elected position was,
41:50 I started a four-year term on the Saline County Board.
41:54 Someone many years ago had asked me several times
41:59 if I would throughout the process,
42:01 if I would consider running for County Board
42:03 and I had always declined.
42:05 I just, "It's just not me. It's just not," you know?
42:08 And hate but they would keep asking.
42:11 And finally the last time the gentleman asked me,
42:13 he said, and I declined again.
42:15 And he said, "Well, I'm never gonna ask you again."
42:19 But he said, "I want you to promise me one thing,
42:21 that one day you will run."
42:23 And I said, "Well, surely,
42:27 I'll consider that, absolutely."
42:29 So and I would always tell my dad this story about,
42:32 you know, he came in, "Hey, I ran for County Board,"
42:35 and asked me if I would run for County Board
42:38 and my dad said, "What did you tell him?"
42:40 I said, "No, I declined. It's just not," you know.
42:42 And he said, "Yeah, you know, you got this going on,
42:44 you know, we're farming.
42:46 We got a family business, you know, you, you're busy."
42:48 I'm sure he understands.
42:50 And then, you know, two years later,
42:51 he asked me again, and I declined.
42:53 Two years later, he asked me again.
42:54 That's when he asked me, "Hey, will you one day?"
42:57 And he said, "I'll never ask you again."
42:59 So the gentleman passed away.
43:04 And the person that took his place
43:05 as a County Chairman came to me and said,
43:09 "Hey, would you consider running for County Board?"
43:11 And so that memory of my commitment
43:15 weighed on me.
43:17 And I said,
43:19 "Can I have a couple days to think about
43:21 and pray about it?"
43:22 He said, "Sure."
43:23 This was on Friday, he calls me,
43:25 and I call him back on Monday.
43:26 And he said, "I can't believe your kindness."
43:28 I said, "I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it."
43:31 And he says, "Wow,
43:33 I can't believe you call me back.
43:34 Thank you," you know? So I went to my dad.
43:36 And I said, "Dad," I said,
43:39 "I got a phone call and asked me to run."
43:42 And he said, "What did you tell him?"
43:43 I said, "I'm gonna do it."
43:46 He looked at me, he goes, "I'm proud of you, son."
43:48 Okay.
43:50 And that kind of led.
43:51 I did that four-year term and then
43:53 I had moved to Harrisburg from Eldorado.
43:56 And the mayor of Harrisburg had to resign
44:01 as mayor of Harrisburg to take
44:03 because of a conflict of interest in the job
44:04 that he had taken.
44:06 So they appointed a commissioner to take his,
44:09 to fulfill his term.
44:10 And that mayor asked me,
44:12 if I would fulfill his term on the Harrisburg City Council.
44:15 And, again, thought about it. Well, I said "Sure."
44:19 You know, it will be fun, you know.
44:22 And so I did.
44:24 But unfortunately,
44:25 that mayor passes away with brain cancer.
44:29 And so the council asked me to fulfill his term
44:32 as mayor of Harrisburg.
44:33 And I accepted and then I ran in 2015
44:38 to 4-year term of as mayor of Harrisburg and was elected.
44:42 And then there was a knock on the door.
44:45 "Dale, would you consider
44:47 running for Illinois State Senate?"
44:50 And all these memories of everything else,
44:52 my life everything had transitioned
44:54 throughout my life just kind of started spinning at me.
44:57 And it was a very tough decision.
45:03 But I made the commitment that
45:06 when I decided that I would that,
45:10 especially at this stage of my life
45:11 that I would just go in and I would work hard.
45:14 I would run a clean, honest, ethical campaign
45:18 and see how it unfolds.
45:21 And I won.
45:23 Then I was reelected in 2018 to 4-year term.
45:27 Amen.
45:29 And my position was when,
45:32 there was a gentleman assigned to my campaign.
45:35 We worked on a press release that I was gonna run,
45:39 that I had announced, was gonna announce
45:41 that I was gonna run for Illinois State Senate.
45:44 And I put some paragraphs, Eddie put some paragraphs and we met,
45:48 went over it.
45:49 The last paragraph of the press
45:51 release was some really negative statements
45:56 about my opponent.
45:58 And I look at the gentlemen and I said,
46:01 "I need that taken out."
46:03 They said, "What do you mean, you need to take it out?"
46:05 I said, "You're running against a 14 year incumbent."
46:09 You know...
46:10 I mean, you've got to go, you've got to go...
46:13 Go for the juggler.
46:15 You got to go for the juggler.
46:16 I said, "I'm not gonna do it."
46:17 And he looked at me and he goes,
46:19 "Then you're gonna lose."
46:22 And I looked back at him, and I said,
46:24 that I'm gonna lose.
46:26 And I said, "I will never,
46:29 never say a negative word about my opponent,
46:32 or ever mention his name."
46:35 And I held true to that.
46:37 Because as the media kind of picked up on that,
46:41 my statement was, "Wouldn't it be great
46:44 for future campaigns
46:45 that you can run a clean, honest, ethical,
46:48 honest campaign and still be elected?"
46:52 Wouldn't that be great?
46:53 That is revolutionary to be honest about it.
46:56 Yeah.
46:58 And so, you know, I just followed my lead,
47:02 you know, I've just followed my lead.
47:04 Well, we're so thankful for what you're doing
47:08 not only for those of us here in Southern Illinois,
47:10 from the legislative branch
47:13 but also for what you're doing physically
47:15 because you're taking that great gospel
47:17 commission seriously.
47:19 And you, Pastor, for joining in
47:21 and so literally over few years it's been thousands of lives.
47:26 And I'm sure hundreds and getting to point,
47:28 thousands of kids and meal served for adults,
47:32 for those who need it.
47:33 Yvonne and I had the privilege of going over one night.
47:35 I think Tim Parton, someone asked us
47:37 to come over he was gonna play and watch what was happening.
47:41 We were amazed and thrilled when we saw Dale.
47:43 You went to Heavens' Kitchen?
47:45 Oh, yeah. Yeah.
47:46 Over in Harrisburg. He's witnessed it.
47:48 Yeah, yeah. All right. Okay.
47:49 We were over there.
47:50 And so we just watched,
47:53 we just wanted to see what was going on.
47:55 And I felt like I was in a restaurant
47:57 being served in a really,
47:59 it was not a soup kitchen at all,
48:01 atmosphere, you know?
48:03 And I think people were offered a...
48:05 I thought we needed food
48:07 and was willing to serve us too.
48:08 And so it looks so good.
48:09 I almost went ahead and, yeah, but I said,
48:11 "Well, we'll save it for somebody who need it."
48:13 Well, next time you come in, 'cause that's what we want.
48:16 We want people, you know, sometimes there's some people
48:20 that come in, they just look for an opportunity to,
48:22 don't have an opportunity to socialize, you know?
48:25 And it may not necessarily mean that they have to need a meal,
48:29 but you know, we do have a few
48:31 that just want to be part of the atmosphere.
48:33 And we want them to be known
48:35 they're as welcome as anyone is, you know?
48:38 And that's what it's all about.
48:39 And it's been a challenge, you know?
48:42 It's, you know, when you start something like
48:45 that it is different than the clothes for kids,
48:47 you know, 'cause we are basically
48:48 kind of running somewhat of a restaurant atmosphere.
48:51 But we have so many strong passionate,
48:54 you know, people that are committed to this mission.
48:58 And just like clothes for kids started
49:01 with one child
49:02 in one school room in one school,
49:05 and now we're 19 counties.
49:07 We started Heaven's Kitchen in one building,
49:10 one town, now we're in two, who knows, you know?
49:13 It's again, it's God's work,
49:17 and it's one of the most rewarding things
49:20 to be able to know
49:21 that you can have an opportunity
49:24 and make a difference in the lives of someone else.
49:27 And as a State Senator,
49:29 all I try to do is really I love economic development.
49:32 I love going out and talking about all the incredible,
49:35 that incredible country that we live in,
49:37 the incredible Shawnee National Forest,
49:39 all the incredible people that live here,
49:42 all the opportunities we have
49:44 and capitalizing on all the opportunities
49:46 that we have right here, right here in the Midwest,
49:50 confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers,
49:53 the great Shawnee National Forest,
49:54 our great state parks, our great work ethic,
49:58 an area of people that love each other
50:00 and care about each other.
50:01 And well, you know, when times are down,
50:03 they're right in there for you to help you out, you know?
50:06 And you capitalize on these opportunities,
50:08 which is what I tried to do as a State Senator,
50:10 you know, other great things will blossom, a little is much.
50:14 That's right. Yeah.
50:15 You know, a little is much
50:16 and you blossom from that fruit.
50:18 That's wonderful.
50:19 I like the fact that I mean, I'm listening to the campaign,
50:21 you talked about the positive campaign.
50:24 And the thought came to my mind,
50:25 I never thought about it before.
50:27 But sugar doesn't become sugar because you taste salt.
50:30 Sugar is sugar, whether not you taste salt.
50:33 And meaning, it doesn't have to be negative
50:35 to appreciate the positive.
50:36 If we focus on the thing
50:38 that the Lord has gifted us with...
50:40 And now you're in another, been voted in for another term.
50:44 We just wanna let you know
50:45 we're gonna keep you in our prayers
50:47 because what you decide in the Illinois State Senate
50:49 affects all of us.
50:51 And that's an amazing thing I think.
50:52 There are so many and thank you.
50:54 I get so much correspondence.
50:56 You know, this guy's there for me.
50:58 So many people say, "Hey, I just want you to know..."
51:00 They'll stop me somewhere in a grocery store
51:03 where may, and say,
51:04 "We just want you to know we're praying for you."
51:07 And you know what, I tell them, "I feel it."
51:09 Good. Amen.
51:10 Praise the Lord. I feel it.
51:12 What we wanna do, we wanna pray for you.
51:14 But we also want to give our viewers.
51:16 Now it's your turn to get involved.
51:18 You've heard the stories.
51:19 And our viewers, they've helped,
51:22 as I mentioned earlier,
51:23 from the Philippines recently for rise for the Philippines,
51:27 when Katrina, other disasters that have happened,
51:30 hurricanes in the last few years
51:32 out in California, Paradise, they're raising money.
51:36 And so we wanna give you an opportunity,
51:39 it doesn't make any difference
51:40 where you live anywhere here in America or around the world,
51:43 but we wanna give you an opportunity
51:45 because what they're doing
51:47 and what we're now considering part of our mission too
51:49 is to help you and support you
