00:01 Stay tuned to meet some people
00:02 who are doing great things for God. 00:04 My name is Jason Bradley 00:05 and you're watching Urban Report. 00:31 Hello and welcome to Urban Report. 00:33 Recently, I was at ASI 00:35 and connected with some people that you need to know about. 00:38 My guests today are Renoir and Kalina in the first segment. 00:41 Let's take a look. 00:44 I'm here in Phoenix, Arizona, 00:47 with two young people that are on fire for the Lord 00:49 and a part of the Medical Missionary work. 00:51 We have Renoir... welcome 00:54 and Kalina... welcome. 00:56 So, tell us a little bit about your background, 00:59 where are you from, Renoir? 01:01 Yes, well, actually, I'm coming from the island of Saint Lucia. 01:04 I was born and raised there for about 17 years of my life 01:08 and I first moved to Florida about seven years ago, 01:13 started... well to pursue an education 01:15 in Miami, Florida out there and I've been here ever since, 01:21 about seven years now in the U.S. 01:23 Wow, wow, seven years... now, what about you, Kalina? 01:27 I was born and raised in Florida 01:28 and I was also attending the same University... 01:31 a private, very expensive university in South Florida, 01:34 but that's where the Lord called me out, yes. 01:38 Now, were you guys raised as Adventists? 01:41 Well, actually we were... 01:42 I would say, we were introduced to Adventism 01:46 because my dad was raised as an Adventist 01:49 but my dad was a backslidden Adventist so... 01:52 he would... more like... drop us to church 01:55 but he wouldn't attend church 01:56 because he knew he'd been raised as a child 01:58 in the way that he should grow and he will never depart from it 02:00 so, he dropped us to church even though he didn't go to church. 02:03 Jason: Okay. 02:04 So we were raised... going to church on Sabbath 02:06 but then when we got home it was a totally different story. 02:10 It was a different life. 02:12 So, go to church and then come home 02:13 and then it was a different life. 02:15 Yeah, watching TV... you know, yeah, so... 02:17 Hmmm... hmmm... hmmm... hmmm... Now, what about you? 02:20 Oh well, Jason, I was born and raised Pentecostal 02:22 up until four-and-half-years ago or so 02:25 when I accepted the Adventist Faith, yeah. 02:27 Oh, and how did you come to accept the Adventist faith? 02:31 Well, it is a very interesting story, 02:32 I was at the University where we attended together 02:34 and I met his brother which I'm married to, 02:37 his older brother, René. 02:39 Jason: So, this is your sister-in-law. 02:40 Kalina: That's my brother-in-law. 02:42 Renoir: So I've know her as long as my brother has known her yeah 02:46 And so, I was the RA of the dorms 02:48 and I had to meet all the students, 02:51 and he was one of the students and I met him 02:53 and I find him interesting, leaving every day Saturday... 02:56 and I said, "Where do you go every day Saturday?" 02:59 And he said to me, "Well, I go to church... " 03:01 and he blew me off... just like that... 03:02 later on in our friendship, 03:04 he got more open with his Christianity 03:07 and I was wondering why he's so ashamed of his Christianity, 03:10 he was an Adventist and I started digging in his faith 03:14 and I was like, "Where... where do you go?" 03:16 He said, "I'm an Adventist and study the Sabbath day 03:19 but, you have the Mark of the Beast. " 03:21 And I said... Jason: That's crazy... 03:23 Kalina: Yeah... so... that began a whole adventure. 03:26 Jason: How did that conversation well... you got married now... 03:28 but I mean... how did that conversation go? 03:30 Well, that started a big strike in my heart 03:32 and fast forward a little... fast forward a lot... 03:36 we started going at it with the Bible... 03:39 basically was challenging my faith and he would ask me, 03:42 "Well, show me what you believe in the Bible... " 03:44 I said, "I'm not going to show you 03:45 because I don't have to prove anything to you," 03:46 really, I didn't know... 03:48 but I told him, "It's my faith and you can't question my faith 03:51 I have 100 percent faith and you can't question it... " 03:53 and I would ask him, "Well, let me... you show me" 03:56 and he said, "Okay, give me two days and I'll show you" 03:58 and he didn't know where to find anything 04:00 so he went back to do his study 04:02 and in him studying... he got... he drew closer to the Lord, 04:05 and I grew closer to the Lord in studying together with him. 04:08 What a blessing, now let's talk about health, right? 04:12 Because you guys are deeply involved 04:15 in the Medical Missionary work, 04:17 we've had you two... you came to the Studio before 04:22 but let's talk about how you got involved 04:25 in Medical Missionary work. 04:27 Well, actually it's a long story but I'll keep it short, 04:30 we... actually the first thing that we got interested in 04:34 was the gospel, I mean, 04:36 even while my brother met her just challenging us... 04:40 we had to go home and study, I remember going online 04:43 and looked at Amazing Facts Bible Study, 04:45 she'll be like, "Oh, what about Hell 04:46 and what about burning forever?" and we'd be like... 04:50 "You know what... Hell is something that is not real... " 04:53 and we would go back and study at home, 04:55 we'd put together a study, 04:56 we'd come back the next day and give a study on Hellfire 04:58 and different things like that and that drew us closer 05:01 and getting closer to God and the gospel... 05:04 studies in the Bible for ourselves, 05:07 a passion just grew out for sharing Bible Studies 05:12 with young people, going... our AY Programs, 05:15 leading out in AY Programs... 05:17 and when we saw a soul being drawn to Christ 05:19 and young people giving their lives to Christ 05:22 through the ministry that we were doing, 05:24 I remember one time we just like an... epiphany... 05:28 I was like, "Man! this is something 05:29 that I would love to do for the rest of my life. " 05:31 Jason: Wow! 05:32 And by that, learning about our bodies being the temple of God 05:36 bringing us closer to God, I'm like, 05:38 "I really have to watch what I put into my body" 05:40 so then, I started to learn from Inspiration 05:42 and also the Bible... reading... 05:44 how God wanted us to treat our bodies, 05:47 and I remember one time a family they were all into health, 05:49 and they were talking about a cleanser they were on... 05:52 they were doing... and she said, 05:53 "Oh, I think this cleansed my... all my illnesses went away" 05:56 and different things like that 05:57 I'm like, "Wow, you know we're interested, 05:59 we want to do this cleanse... " 06:01 Jason: What kind of cleanse was that? 06:02 It was called, "The Master Cleanse" 06:03 it was just some lemon and some cayenne pepper 06:07 and maple syrup and just... with no food... for ten days... 06:10 and we went through this cleanse... 06:12 and I'm telling you... from that time... 06:15 I've never touched meats or anything like that 06:18 after that cleanse, so we just went like... 06:21 kind of... cold turkey... just changed our whole lifestyle 06:24 and it was... it's been about five... 06:28 going on to six years now since we've been fully plant-based 06:32 and it's tremendous... the Lord just... 06:34 Now, what kind of difference do you notice 06:36 being fully plant-based, 06:38 do you have more energy or what... what's the difference? 06:41 Well, actually I have a... the time when I made the change, 06:44 it was during my middle terms or finals... 06:48 I can't remember which one it was 06:49 but I remember I had to study for exams 06:51 and when I was on the cleanse, 06:55 I recognized that when I was memorizing 06:57 for my different tests... my final exam, 07:00 my brain was just so much sharper... 07:02 Jason: Really? 07:03 Renoir: I could remember... I would read something... 07:05 I would just remember it off the bat like that 07:08 and also I would... like my exams... 07:11 like... my scores in my tests, I always aimed for... 07:14 tried to aim for... like an A student 07:16 but I'm telling you... my grades increased tremendously 07:20 I had four-hour classes, 07:22 I would pay attention for the whole class, 07:25 you know, just paying attention... four-hour lectures 07:27 and I was like... "Wow! I can actually see the difference" 07:29 energy... my memorization... 07:30 my cognitive powers... 07:32 they just increased just being... on this diet. 07:34 Wow, wow... wow... now, so what about you... 07:37 what brought you into Medical Missionary work? 07:39 I remember attending the church before I got baptized 07:42 and there was an Evangelist who 07:43 presented everything to his crusade 07:46 and he talked on one of the subjects of health reform 07:49 and health message and growing up in a Spanish home, 07:52 we'd had no idea of what health means, 07:55 what... how to shop... how to read labels... 07:57 what's good for your body... none of that... 07:59 we had no education on that at all... 08:01 you know, generations and generations teach one another 08:03 but we had nothing like that and so... 08:06 and so... going to that Evangelist 08:08 the meetings by that Evangelist... 08:11 is when I first heard it and I got so intrigued 08:13 and I just wanted to learn more and learn more 08:15 and right from the... right off the bat... 08:17 one thing I know about young people and especially... 08:19 because we're young... is that... 08:21 when you read something... we run with it... 08:22 and just to experience that experience... it's amazing 08:25 and so when I started applying it in my life, 08:27 I said, "This is it, Lord, 08:28 Your Word, Your Inspiration testifies of it, 08:30 Science declares it, I'm on it... nothing else" 08:33 and I was the first one, basically, in my entire family 08:36 for generations who went plant-based 100 percent 08:39 and by my stance... 08:40 we were able to help more young people in the church 08:43 and in the Community and in my family also, yeah. 08:45 Wow! so let's about some of the products that you have available 08:49 well, I'm going to let you talk about it, 08:53 tell me about your products. 08:54 Well, actually, I will tell you why we started doing... 08:57 developing different products, 08:59 we actually have a ministry called, Eden Lifestyle... 09:02 and we do seminars... we do trainings... 09:06 and we have a special emphasis on the young people as well 09:09 in urban areas... and we wanted to start a Lifestyle Center 09:13 where we can... people can come in 09:14 and be helped with different illnesses 09:16 and because we're young, one of the downfalls of young people, 09:20 we don't have money in the pockets... 09:22 Jason: Yes, yes... yes... 09:24 And you're a young ministry so it's... 09:25 even harder for people to support you or donate to you 09:28 because you may go out and buy some Jordan's 09:30 or something like that... but... so we were just thinking, 09:34 like, "Lord, how can we support ourselves as being missionaries" 09:37 and the Lord just impressed in our hearts so strongly 09:40 and we started looking the lines of 09:43 manufacturing different herbal products 09:46 and... because we had some different ingredients already 09:49 for the products and we were helping people 09:51 with different illnesses with those types of products already, 09:53 but we never... it was never put out in the market 09:55 so, we're like... 09:56 "Let's just package this and put this on the market" 09:58 we do it... we have a colon cleanse, 10:00 and right now we just started doing some activated charcoal, 10:03 we plan to do a whole cleanse series... 10:05 liver cleanse, kidneys and... 10:06 Now this is a non-invasive colon cleanse, right? 10:10 One of the great things about your products 10:12 is that it's non-invasive, 10:13 it's not in enema form or anything like that, 10:16 it's actually... like a powder... 10:18 Yes, and this is now... for men, 10:20 men don't like things going up the... the other end... so... 10:22 Jason: Yeah, yeah... absolutely. 10:24 We only sell in US... with no-enema-colon cleanse 10:26 so you can take it internally and it... 10:29 many testimonies... 10:30 people have lost ten pounds while on this colon cleanse 10:33 and really... the main focus... 10:35 all the funds that we got from this product is 10:38 to put back into the work, 10:39 actually the last time we did the interview with you guys, 10:43 we didn't have a Lifestyle Center as yet, 10:46 we were looking to set up one. 10:47 We were staying in our vehicle for the whole year... one year. 10:50 Yeah, back and forth... going from place to place. 10:52 Jason: That's dedication. 10:53 Renoir: Oh yeah and from Florida we were looking at Florida 10:56 to start up a Lifestyle Center there... 10:57 but actually this year... we actually got a place 11:00 in Upstate New York... yes. 11:01 Jason: Wow! I know all about Upstate New York... 11:04 Renoir: Yes, yes, it's beautiful we got a place and 11:07 we have been doing some renovations on the place 11:09 right now... and all the funds that we've been getting 11:11 from these products... we have been using it 11:13 to renovate the place, 11:15 painting and putting down the floors 11:16 and different things like that, so... 11:18 the Lord has been blessing tremendously. 11:20 We're really excited because we get to teach young people 11:22 or anyone... but mostly young people that... 11:24 you can start off with nothing, 11:25 you can start off nothing but a willing heart and dedication 11:28 and the Lord will bless... and many missionaries think that 11:32 "It's hard, you have to ask for this, 11:34 you have to ask for that... you have to... " 11:36 no, it's what you have in your hands and the Lord will bless 11:38 and He surely did... like Joshua... Team Joshua. 11:41 Absolutely, and you know... 11:43 one of the things that I love about you guys is that, 11:46 you're a family and missionary work begins in the home 11:50 and so you had... there are nine people involved, correct? 11:53 Oh yes, we started off with nine people in the family, 11:56 we're right now, currently... who does the ministry, 12:00 there are five of us currently at the... Upstate New York 12:03 and my parents are back home right now 12:05 and, I mean, it's just tremendous seeing... 12:10 a family coming together and doing ministry together 12:12 and, you know, specially being young 12:15 and starting off with nothing at all 12:17 and just seeing how the Lord blessed 12:19 and I remember one day when we were getting into 12:22 the Medical Missionary and changing all our lifestyles 12:25 and just being so much for mission work, 12:27 I remember praying for my family, 12:28 because, not all of us started off in the ministry, 12:31 my younger brother and my younger sister 12:33 weren't in ministry with us 12:36 but I remember just praying for them and saying, 12:38 "Lord, please help them to see 12:40 that we have to dedicate our lives for missionary service 12:44 and to give our youth... give all the energy that we have, 12:48 give everything to God," 12:49 I remember just praying for my 12:51 younger siblings and my parents as well 12:53 and if you had told me about five years ago 12:55 that we would all be in ministry together today, 12:58 I'd be like, "No, you're not speaking the truth... " 13:00 It's amazing... I can't believe that our time is almost up, 13:05 it's almost up... in the short maybe 15 seconds, 13:09 what advice would you have, Kalina, 13:11 for the young person at home that wants to join 13:15 Medical Missionary work? 15 seconds... 13:17 Well, okay... one thing is to start where you are... 13:20 start where you are... prayer... and the Lord will see 13:23 the seed that's inside of you and it will grow... 13:25 and the downfall of young people is: 13:28 continuation, dedication, persistence, 13:30 no matter what is in the way, continue... 13:33 and that's the hardest thing to do, 13:34 doing the same thing over and over until you see results. 13:37 Excellent advice... and what's the website 13:39 where people can check your products out? 13:42 You can check it out on: www. edenlifestyle. org 13:45 also, www. easeyseries. com 13:50 Okay so www. edenlifestyle. org 13:55 and www. easeyseries. com Kalina: Yes. 14:02 Well, thank you guys so much for joining us... 14:05 Both: Thank you for having us. 14:07 For coming on and continue... continue the great work... 14:10 I'm so proud of what God is doing... 14:13 working on you, in you, and through you. 14:16 Kalina: Amen... amen... thank you. 14:17 Jason: Thank you. 14:18 Our next interview is going to be with 14:22 Helen Eager and Jim Rennie, check it out. 14:26 I'm here in Phoenix, Arizona, with another great ministry 14:32 at ASI Asian Aid, I'd like to welcome 14:35 Jim and Helen, how are you guys doing today? 14:40 Doing good thanks. 14:41 Good, good, tell us about Asian Aid... 14:43 I walked by the booth and I wanted to know more 14:46 and I definitely wanted to have you on this program. 14:50 Okay, well, the key activity that Asian Aid does is 14:54 child sponsorship, we take children based on need 14:57 and we put them in Adventist Schools, 15:00 we give them a full education, 15:02 we have about three and half thousand children in India, 15:07 Nepal, Bangladesh and recently we've even entered Myanmar 15:12 which is the old Burma and also with the church 15:16 we fully fund four orphanages, 15:18 a blind school and a deaf school in India, 15:22 and in recent times, as we'll talk about shortly, 15:25 we've become involved in Operation Child Rescue 15:29 which is obviously rescuing children 15:32 from trafficking and slave labor, 15:35 so, that's Asian Aid in a... in a capsule... 15:39 Wow! wow! and Helen, tell us about you... 15:42 Oh well, I ran Asian Aid for quite a few years 15:45 so, I'm very familiar with India, Nepal and Bangladesh, 15:49 I haven't been to Myanmar 15:51 but we have sponsored many thousands of children 15:55 and for me the best thing is to see... those young people now 16:00 really doing something special for their lives 16:02 and actually helping to run churches 16:05 and some of them, of course, have gone abroad... 16:08 but there are many of them 16:10 that are really doing a special work for God 16:12 and for me, that's the most important thing 16:15 and with the trafficking... 16:16 I've been involved with that... a lot 16:18 and in India and Nepal it's a huge problem. 16:20 I know it is worldwide but, I think India and maybe Nepal... 16:24 maybe two of the worst places 16:26 because of the open border between India and Nepal. 16:30 Wow! and what is Asian Aid doing about this... 16:34 this human trafficking and child trafficking problem? 16:37 Well, if I may just first... 16:39 Helen is selling herself very short... 16:42 Helen was the Co-founder of Asian Aid... 16:46 so about 30 or 40 years ago, in Australia where it started... 16:50 Helen started it and since then, over 50,000 children 16:55 have been given an Adventist Education. 16:58 Jason: 50,000 children... Jim: 50,000 children 17:01 in Nepal, we've done a lot of women's health 17:04 and prolapse operations and that issue in itself... 17:08 when they have the operation changes the woman's real life 17:12 over 11,000 prolapse operations have been done 17:18 and I estimate... in that period 17:20 $60 to $80 million have gone into schools and orphanages. 17:24 Jason: Wow! 17:26 Jim: And all from the momentum that this lady gave Asian Aid 17:29 and that was 50 years ago... it started in Australia 17:33 and here in America we've been going about 12 years. 17:37 Jason: Wow! 17:38 Jim: So, I just... sorry to interrupt but I had to tell you 17:41 about the momentum that this lady has given Asian Aid. 17:44 Yes, yes, she wasn't going to tell us that, see... 17:47 she was holding on to that, 17:49 we're so happy that you've allowed God to use you 17:52 to be able to do all those things 17:54 and so, getting back to the human trafficking... 17:58 and child trafficking issue... 17:59 what is Asian Aid doing to help in that area? 18:04 Well, we're very excited that we're just launching 18:06 a brand called: Operation Child Rescue 18:09 and Operation Child Rescue is targeting the issues with 18:15 boys and girls in the trafficking area, 18:18 so we're covering four areas, 18:21 first of all trafficking in the sex industry 18:24 in Bangalore... we've partnered with a lady, 18:28 we've just committed to three years' support of a rescue home 18:32 and they go in and raid brothels from the sex industry, 18:37 we're involved in the rescue of babies in Bangalore 18:41 and also orphans and slum children 18:44 so Operation Child Rescue 18:46 which you'll be able to see on our website 18:49 is a very exciting project that we've become involved in. 18:53 Wow! now how did you get involved with Asian Aid? 18:57 Jim: You're asking me? Jason: Yes Sir. 18:59 Well, I... as you can tell, I'm not from America, 19:03 I am a New Zealander 19:05 and I came to America because I married an American lady 19:10 and they asked me to go on the Board 19:13 and then I took a six-month contract 19:16 to restructure Asian Aid 19:18 so I'm now seven years into my six-month contract. 19:22 Jason: Okay... okay... wonderful 19:24 and where did this... where did this vision start? 19:27 How did this Organization even come about, 19:31 like where did the vision come from? 19:32 Well, actually, Asian Aid was started in the beginning 19:36 just to get cheap freight for warm clothing and blankets 19:39 to go to South Korea after the war 19:41 but the Adventist Church was running a small orphanage 19:45 in Seoul... and that's where 19:47 the child sponsorship program started 19:49 and then it went to Vietnam 19:51 and then we went into India and Bangladesh 19:54 and then... in the beginning... all the Nepali children 19:57 were actually just coming into India to study 20:00 so, those were the three countries 20:02 where it started fairly early in the piece, 20:05 because Vietnam fell... long time ago now... yeah, so... 20:09 Okay, now what stories do you have because I know... 20:13 in doing this great work, 20:15 there are so many stories that you probably have, 20:18 we'd love to hear a couple of them. 20:21 Well, Helen, you try and tell one story 20:24 because it's hard to hold her at one... tell one story... 20:28 Jason: We've got some time, 20:30 we've got a little bit of time left 20:32 so you got some time to tell us. 20:33 Well, I guess the stories about children that are growing up 20:36 in our orphanages are... sort of a bit special, 20:40 like, there was one young man where he and his sister... 20:44 the mother had died... and the father had decided... 20:47 he had already bought poison to kill the children 20:51 because he didn't know what to do 20:52 but an Adventist man knew about our Sunshine Home 20:55 and so those three children were brought to Sunshine... 20:58 one of the little girls that was only around 2 or 3... 21:01 she had been trodden on the leg with a cow 21:03 and that had gotten infected 21:05 and so they had treated it with cow dung, 21:07 so she had cow dung plastered all over her... with cow dung... 21:12 see cows are the gods of the Hindus, you see 21:15 and so, her leg was badly infected 21:18 and so... they were actually the first bigger children 21:22 that came to Sunshine Home, 21:23 before that, Dorothy Watts just had some babies, 21:26 and it's interesting how she got those babies too, 21:28 she would go into a hospital, 21:30 well, one child, she told me about... 21:32 she went into the hospital expecting this baby... sick baby 21:37 to be able to be given to her 21:38 and they tried to tell her the baby wasn't there 21:40 but she knew that the baby was... 21:43 and Dorothy Watts doesn't give up easy, 21:46 so eventually, she just went upstairs 21:48 and she demanded to see this baby 21:51 and then she took it and she took it home... 21:53 no... she only had the scooter, so she's like, 21:56 "How can I carry the baby and ride the scooter?" 21:59 So she had to take a taxi home with the baby 22:02 and then come back and get the scooter. 22:03 Jason: Wow! 22:05 So, that was sort of how Sunshine Home 22:07 began in Bangalore. 22:08 We've got a young man here today 22:11 who lives in New York and he's a Physiotherapist, 22:17 he's married with a young baby, 22:19 maybe Helen... tell their story. 22:22 Okay, well, he also came from Sunshine Home, 22:25 there were four children in that family 22:26 and the father had threatened to kill their mother 22:29 and so the mother kept coming to Sunshine... 22:32 and she said, "I'm going to die, 22:33 I know my husband's going to kill me, 22:35 I can't do anything about it 22:36 but I want you to please save my children... " 22:39 but the lady in charge... she sort of thought, 22:41 "Well, both parents are there, 22:42 they're both alive... this is an orphanage... " 22:45 and so, the poor mother... 22:47 she kept coming back and coming back... 22:48 I'm sure it was at least four times, 22:50 I just forget... but... eventually Rosette said, 22:53 "Okay, we'll take the four children" 22:55 and so the four children came to Sunshine 22:58 and just a few days later, 23:01 the father poured fuel on the mother 23:03 and then as she was burning... she grabbed him, 23:07 and so they both died. Jason: Wow! 23:09 So, those children have really grown up, 23:11 you know... really... especially... 23:13 actually two of them are in the UK 23:15 and two of them are in the US... 23:16 and Bobby John is actually here with us at ASI at the moment 23:20 and he's the third in the family 23:23 the two girls are both nurses, they both studied nursing 23:26 and Bobby John is as he said a Physiotherapist 23:30 and they've done really well in their lives so... 23:35 those stories are really special to me. 23:37 Jason: Yes, yes... now what advice would you have 23:41 to... and this question is going to go to both of you, 23:43 what advice would you have for someone at home 23:46 that's watching this program 23:48 that really wants to get involved 23:49 and really wants to make a difference 23:50 what advice would you have for that young person? 23:52 Well, I'll just say that if they sponsor a child, 23:54 it kind of gives them someone in their lives 23:58 that can be a bit special, 23:59 some of the children have really grown up 24:03 and have really... eventually 24:05 some of them have even met their sponsors 24:07 of course, that doesn't always happen 24:08 but even just... even if you can only give a child 24:11 two or three years of education 24:13 it's better than nothing, isn't it? 24:14 Jason: Yes, absolutely. 24:15 And I just feel that sponsorship 24:17 has just transformed the lives of so many children 24:20 that you couldn't count. 24:21 Oh, praise the Lord, what about you Jim? 24:23 Well, Helen and I see sponsorship as... 24:26 that we all want to be involved in mission field 24:29 and not everybody can travel 24:31 but with sponsorship, every morning, 24:33 someone in another country is waking up depending on you 24:38 and depending on you for school, depending on you for food 24:43 and if they're an orphan... 24:45 they're depending on you for everything, 24:47 so you get letters from them, you get reports from them, 24:50 so you know that you are doing something in the mission field, 24:55 now, the children should write to you, 24:57 you should write to them and you get their school report 25:02 and so, we're very personal about sponsorship, 25:05 it's got flow and a face... the parents' esteem is built up 25:10 because their child is having an education 25:12 so, it has an impact on the family and the community 25:16 but the other thing is too... 25:17 your money is going directly to a mission school 25:22 for the children so we only realized recently 25:26 the impact we're having because we pay the mission school 25:30 every month... so my tip... 25:33 I think it's important in life that you find 25:35 where you want to serve and where you want to help, 25:38 you shouldn't do something you're not comfortable with 25:41 but Outpatient Sponsorship, 25:44 you can sponsor an orphan, a blind school, 25:46 just a normal child that walks to school each day. 25:50 Helen: But I mean donations are good here and there as well, 25:52 you know... donations... 25:54 If you can't afford the monthly commitment, 25:56 we have an Unsponsored-Child Fund, 25:58 because whether a child's got a sponsor or not, 26:02 we cover them, and so, 26:05 if you can't afford that monthly commitment 26:07 and you just want to send a few dollars, 26:10 then the Unsponsored-Child Fund makes a huge difference. 26:14 So, that's really nice, what's your website, 26:16 do you have a website? 26:17 Yeah, yes, definitely. 26:19 So tell us your website. 26:20 Okay, so it's www. asianaid. org one word... asianaid... 26:27 asianaid. org and you can get all the information, 26:32 you can see our TV Programs, you can sponsor a child online 26:36 or if you can... take our phone number and give us a call, 26:41 our ladies would love to talk to you, 26:43 we're based in Collegedale, Tennessee 26:46 so we're on eastern time. 26:48 Okay, wonderful, www. asianaid. org 26:52 that's wonderful... 26:54 I can't believe our time is just about up, 26:57 this has gone by so fast, give us that phone number 27:01 in the quick 30 seconds that we have left, 27:03 give us that phone number. 27:04 Well, we would just prefer you go to the website, 27:07 go to the website and get the information. 27:09 Helen: The phone number will be on the website. 27:11 Well, go to the website... get the number... 27:14 and give them a call and support these children, 27:17 thank you so much for allowing God to use you 27:19 and for allowing God to use you 27:22 and thank you for joining us on our program 27:24 and we hope that our Viewers 27:25 would get out and do something. 27:29 You know, I really appreciate these two ministries, 27:33 Eden Lifestyle with its emphasis on healthy living 27:36 and Asian Aid... rescuing people enslaved by human trafficking, 27:41 they're making a difference for Christ 27:43 and having a huge impact on the lives that need it most. 27:46 What difference are you making in your community? 27:50 What are you doing for Christ? 27:52 Ask God's guidance and then get to work. 27:55 Well, we've reached the end of another program, 27:58 join us next time and remember, 28:00 it just wouldn't be the same without you. |
