WELL, NORMALLY WHEN I HAVE INTERVIEWED YOU BOTH AND LONNIE WHEN YOU'VE 01:20 BEEN IN THE HOST CHAIR, IT IS HERE IN WASHINGTON STATE AND YOU HAVE JOINED ME AND US VIA ZOOM 01:26 AND WHERE ARE YOU BOTH LOCATED? WELL, CURRENTLY JEANNIE AND I ARE LIVING IN SUN CITY WEST 01:32 AMIDST THIS COVID AND IF I LOOK LIKE I HAVE LONG HAIR LIKE THE BEATLES IT'S BECAUSE MY BARBER IS 01:39 DOWN VERY ILL WITH COVID AND I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET IN TO GET A HAIRCUT AND I'VE HAD IT TOO AND 01:43 JOEDY HAD IT TOO. SO, WE'RE COMING OUT OF A COCOON AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET THROUGH THE INTERVIEW. 01:49 WELL, YOU'RE ON THE MEND. PRAISE THE LORD. AND IN ARIZONA, RIGHT JOEDY? YES, 01:55 WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL 70 DEGREE DAY TODAY SO, WE'RE FEELING THE WINTER PAIN OF THOSE UP IN THE MINUS 02:04 30 DEGREES IN SASKATCHEWAN WHERE WE WERE BORN. I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT YOUR FAMILY ROOTS UP NORTH 02:11 THAT'S A LITTLE COLDER THAN WHERE YOU BOTH ARE. WELL, THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU AND THANK YOU FOR 02:15 YOUR INVOLVEMENT IN SO MANY DIFFERENT AREAS FOR THE LORD AND HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH. 02:20 SO, WE ARE GOING TO BE TALKING A LITTLE BIT LATER ABOUT THE UPCOMING GOSPEL OUTREACH RALLY 02:25 THAT IS GOING TO BE HAPPENING IN AT THE LOMA LINDA UNIVERSITY CHURCH ON MARCH 26 WITH THE MELASHENKO 02:31 FAMILY SINGERS SO BEFORE WE GET INVOLVED WITH ALL OF THAT, THERE MIGHT BE SOMEONE WHO SHOCKINGLY 02:38 MIGHT NOT KNOW EITHER OF YOU OR YOUR FAMOUS LAST NAME AND SO, WHY DON'T YOU SHARE A LITTLE BIT 02:43 ABOUT EACH ONE OF YOU. LONNIE, GIVE US A LITTLE BIT OF A HISTORY OF YOU AND WHAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY 02:49 DOING AND YOUR WALK WITH THE LORD. WELL, BEING ONE OF THE FIVE SONS OF THE TRIBE OF JOSEPH MELASHENKO 02:57 WE ARE ALL ONE YEAR APART, UM GOD HAS BEEN SO GOOD TO US. SCRAPING US OUT OF THE LITTLE 03:04 HAYFIELDS AND GRAINFIELDS OF SASKATCHEWAN PUTTING BOTH JOEDY AND ME INTO UNIQUE MINISTRIES 03:11 ON THE FRONT STAGE. FOR THE VOICE OF PROPHECY, I WAS WITH GEORGE VANDEMAN, IT IS WRITTEN. JOEDY 03:18 HAS BEEN WITH QUIET HOUR AND I SPENT SOME YEARS AT THE KETTERING HEALTH NETWORK MOST RECENTLY 03:24 BUT GOD CONTINUES TO USE WHAT LITTLE LUMPS OF CLAY WE ARE UM, I'VE SPENT THE LAST 24 MONTHS 03:33 IN SECLUSION. WE DIDN'T KNOW IF WE WOULD EVER GET BACK TO CHURCH SO, I WROTE AND EDITED 365 03:41 TALKS FOR THE HOPE CHANNEL. THEY ARE ALL 12 MINUTES EACH. THEY ARE NOW AVAILABLE: 03:46 HOPE TALKS WITH LONNIE MELASHENKO.COM. YOU CAN GET THEM ON YOUTUBE BUT IT IS JUST AMAZING HOW 03:53 THE LORD IS ABLE TO USE US IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT WE ARE ALL DAMAGED GOODS. 04:00 THAT'S WHERE THE BEAUTY OF JESUS COMES IN. JEANNIE IS THE WIND BENEATH MY WINGS BECAUSE 04:05 I'VE GONE THROUGH TOO MANY HEALTH CHALLENGES AND SHE'S BEEN RIGHT THERE INCLUDING COVID 04:10 AND WE'RE COMING OUT OF IT. WE'RE GOING TO BE THERE AT LOMA LINDA. WONDERFUL. GLAD TO HEAR THAT. 04:16 AND JOEDY, LONNIE MENTIONED SOME OF YOUR CAREER. WELL YOU KNOW, I WAS THINKING BACK THIS MORNING 04:25 ABOUT THE FIRST TIME OUR FAMILY SANG TOGETHER. LONNIE AND I DID A DUET TOGETHER I THINK WHEN 04:30 WE WERE ABOUT EIGHT OR NINE YEARS OLD IN A LITTLE RUSSIAN SPEAKING CHURCH UP THERE IN BEAVER CREEK, 04:35 SASKATCHEWAN. AND OVER THE YEARS, MUSIC HAS BEEN A VERY, VERY VITAL PART OF OUR MINISTRY. AH, 04:44 YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU LOOK IN SCRIPTURE YOU CAN SEE SO MANY REFERENCES TO SINGING AND THE JOY OF MUSIC 04:52 AND I'M JUST GRATEFUL THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US THE ABILITY TO SHARE OUR MUSIC MINISTRY WITH SO MANY. 04:59 MY DAD GOING WAY BACK, HE WAS A WONDERFUL BASS ORIGINALLY WITH THE KINGS HERALDS QUARTET. LONNIE, 05:06 I THINK WAS TWO AND I WAS ONE WHEN HE SANG WITH THEM AND WHEN HE CAME BACK TO THE FARM IN 05:12 SASKATCHEWAN HE HAD A VERY UNFORTUNATE EVENT WHERE HE GOT A THROAT I DON'T KNOW IF WAS A CANCER OR 05:18 GROWTH BUT YOU KNOW, HE COULDN'T TALK, HE COULDN'T SING FOR OVER A YEAR AND THIS IS BACK IN THE DAYS 05:23 WHEN THE KINGS HERALDS AND THE VOICE OF PROPHECY IS DOING EVERYTHING LIVE. RIGHT. SO, HE HAD TO 05:28 MAKE SOME LAST-MINUTE CHANGES AND I TELL YOU THAT WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST DISAPPOINTING, 05:33 DISCOURAGING TIMES IN MY DAD'S LIFE. BUT HE WENT BACK TO THE FARM TO TEACH AND TO FARM 05:39 BUT HE HAD FIVE BOYS SO HE HAD A BUILT IN QUINTET AND MOM WAS A WONDERFUL MUSICIAN, 05:46 TAUGHT ALL OF US HOW TO SING DIFFERENT PARTS AND SO THAT'S WHERE IT BEGAN. 05:50 I LOVE THAT AND YOU REFERRED TO THE BIBLE AND SO MANY SCRIPTURES THAT IN PSALM 98:4 05:56 IT SAYS "SHOUT FOR JOY TO THE LORD ALL THE EARTH. BURST INTO JUBILANT SONG WITH MUSIC". AND AS YOU 06:01 WERE SHARING ABOUT YOUR BROTHERS AND YOU LONNIE, AND YOUR FAMILY I JUST I COULD PICTURE AND HEAR 06:07 YOU BECAUSE I'VE BEEN BLESSED TO HAVE HEARD YOU AND YOUR FAMILY SING. AND YOU KNOW, THE HISTORY 06:13 OF THE KINGS HERALDS AND ALL OF THIS, MY GRANDMA ACTUALLY SANG IN THE TEMPLE TRIO AND SO, YOU 06:19 KNOW TO HAVE THIS MUSIC AND TO HAVE IT BE IN OUR ROOTS IS SO IMPORTANT. SO, YOU MENTIONED THE FIVE 06:27 BROTHERS AND WE HAVE SOME PICTURES THAT WE ARE GOING TO SHARE OF SOME OF YOUR HISTORY. LONNIE, 06:31 WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR EARLY RECOLLECTIONS OF YOUR FAMILY SINGING TOGETHER? WELL, I GUESS WHEN WE 06:38 LEFT CANADA AND MOVED TO THE EAST COAST MOM HAD ALREADY TRAINED US TO START TO SING PARTS. BY 06:44 THE WAY, WE NEVER EVER HAD A PIANO UNTIL WE WERE IN ABOUT OUR TEENS. WOW. SO, SHE HAD TO SING THE 06:49 PARTS TO US AND TEACH US THE DIFFERENT MELODIES. MOM-DAD WAS ALWAYS IN EVANGELISM TRAVELING 06:55 SOMEWHERE BUT WHEN SHE HAD US ALL READY TO SING A SONG, THEY'D PULL US ON THE FRONT STAGE WITH ELDER 07:02 FOLKENBERG OR WALTER SHUBERT OR GEORGE VANDEMAN. WE WENT ON LIVE TELEVISION A NUMBER OF TIMES WHEN 07:09 THE TV PROGRAM WOULDN'T COME BECAUSE OF WEATHER PROBLEMS--MELASHENKO'S GET DOWN TO THE STUDIO. 07:13 THIS IS IN BERMUDA. WE HAD A LITTLE MORRIS MINER, YOU COULD HARDLY FIT FIVE PEOPLE IN IT 07:18 BUT WE ALL SEVEN PACKED IN PLUS THE PIANIST AND WE'D BUZZ DOWN TO THE STUDIO AND THEY'D 07:23 COME OUT TAKING PICTURES AND LAUGHING BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T SEE HOW THESE PEOPLE GET IN 07:27 ONE LITTLE CAR. NOW THAT'S A PICTURE AND A VIDEO I WISH THAT YOU HAD TO SHARE WITH US. 07:34 I LOVE IT. RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT. YES, WELL AND YOU KNOW WHAT I CAN 07:38 JUST IMAGINE BECAUSE WE HAVE FRIENDS THAT HAVE MULTIPLE BOYS IN THEIR FAMILIES BUT 07:43 FIVE, YOUR MOM AND A HUSBAND. YOUR MOM WAS AN AMAZING WOMAN OBVIOUSLY. SO, JOEDY, HOW ABOUT YOU? 07:51 WHAT'S SOMETHING THAT STANDS OUT IN YOUR MIND? WELL, WHEN WE WERE IN HIGH SCHOOL UM, 07:58 MY DAD MADE THE DECISION TO GO INTO FULL TIME EVANGELISM AND WE MOVED TO CALIFORNIA, 08:04 TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND LONNIE BY THAT TIME WAS AT LA SIERRA COLLEGE, THEY CALLED IT BACK THEN. 08:10 I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND THE REST OF US AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT REALLY STANDS IN MY 08:15 MIND ESPECIALLY SINCE WE'RE GOING TO BE IN LOMA LINDA HERE MARCH 26, BACK IN 1965 MY DAD AND AN 08:23 EVANGELIST BY THE NAME OF DON GRAY, THEY PLANTED A CHURCH IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA THAT IS PROBABLY ONE 08:29 OF THE LARGEST CHURCHES NOW IN THE INLAND EMPIRE AND IT IS THE AZURE HILLS AND I CAN REMEMBER 08:36 SINGING TOGETHER AT THOSE EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS. YOU KNOW, AND I GOT TO THINKING ABOUT BOY THE 08:43 FOOTPRINT THAT MY PARENTS HAVE LEFT ON THIS PLANET. ONLY IN HEAVEN WILL WE UNDERSTAND THE 08:48 PEOPLE THAT THEY TOUCHED, THE PEOPLE THAT TOUCHED US, UM AND I JUST HOPE A LOT OF THE FOLK THERE AT 08:55 AZURE HILLS WILL SHOW UP AT LOMA LINDA AND GIVE US SOME OF THE OLD STORIES FROM THE GOOD OLD DAYS. 09:00 ABSOLUTELY. SO, BRING US BACK OVER NOW THROUGH SO MANY YEARS. NOW YOU HAVE THE MELASHENKO FAMILY 09:08 SINGERS KIND OF LIKE THE VON TRAPP FAMILY SINGERS IN THE SOUND OF MUSIC BUT YOU'RE THE CANADIAN 09:13 AMERICAN ONES NOW. SO, GIVE US AN IDEA OF HOW MANY IN YOUR FAMILY SING, AT THE UPCOMING CONCERT THAT 09:20 WE WILL TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT MORE. TELL US ABOUT HOW MANY OF YOUR FAMILY WILL BE THERE. 09:25 WELL, WE ARE PLANNING TO HAVE FOUR OF THE FIVE BROTHERS UM, THREE OF THE GUYS WIVES WILL BE 09:32 THERE. MY DAUGHTER, A NEPHEW; WE ARE REALLY HOPING THAT A FOURTH GENERATION THIS WOULD BE A 09:41 GREAT GRANDSON OF MY PARENTS IS GOING TO BE THERE SO THERE WILL PROBABLY BE NINE OR TEN OF US AND 09:47 REALISTICALLY, THE LAST CONCERT WE DID IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WAS WITH THE FAMILY WAS ABOUT TEN YEARS 09:53 AGO AND I DON'T WANT TO BE A YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO OVERSTATE OR UNDERSTATE IT BUT THIS 09:59 PROBABLY IS GOING TO BE THE LAST BIG EVENT WE ARE GOING TO DO TOGETHER AS A FAMILY. BECAUSE 10:03 JESUS IS COMING, RIGHT? ABSOLUTELY. BUT SO, WE ARE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. A LOT OF THE 10:12 MUSIC WE'VE DONE OVER THE YEARS IS VERY SOUTHERN GOSPEL FLAVOR, INSPIRATIONAL AND 10:19 IT'S GOING TO BE A MEMORY MAKER FOR US. YOU TALK ABOUT HOW MANY OF US ARE GOING TO BE THERE, 10:26 UM ONE OF THE HIGH POINTS OF OUR LIVES WAS TO SING FOR THE GENERAL CONFERENCE IN WHERE WAS 10:30 THAT JOEDY, THAT WAS IN INDIANAPOLIS? NO, THAT WAS IN ST. LOUIS. ST. LOUIS, THAT'S RIGHT, BIG ARCH. 10:37 AND BUT THE ONLY TIME EVER THAT THE WHOLE FAMILY HAS BEEN ALL TOGETHER AT ONE TIME AT THAT POINT, 10:43 THERE WERE 26 OF US INCLUDING THE GRANDKIDS. AND THAT WAS AT THE ARIZONA CAMPMEETING AND THAT 10:48 IS ACTUALLY ON A VIDEO TAPE THAT WAS DONE BY LLBN -LOMA LINDA. WELL, WONDERFUL. SO, 10:53 OF THEM MAY REMEMBER THAT HISTORIC MOMENT. THAT WAS WHAT 26 OF US JOEDY? ON PRESCOTT, 10:59 ARIZONA. I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHAT DAY, THAT WAS PROBABLY -IN FACT, I DO REMEMBER. IT WAS WHEN 11:04 JOANNE WAS EXPECTING CONNER SO THAT WAS 21 YEARS AGO. WONDERFUL. WELL, AND THANK YOU AND RIGHT NOW, 11:10 WE ARE GOING TO GIVE THE VIEWERS A SNIPPET OF ONE OF YOUR MUSCIAL CONCERTS. (MUSIC 13:23 PLAYING). WHY HASN'T JESUS COME? IT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE A JOB TO DO ONE THAT HIS RETURN DEPENDS 13:31 ON. THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT CHRIST WILL COME AFTER THE GOSPEL HAS BEEN PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD. THE 13:37 WORLD'S POPULATION EXCEEDS 7 BILLION BUT 3 BILLION PEOPLE STILL NEED TO HEAR ABOUT JESUS' LOVE. 13:44 NINETY- SEVEN PERCENT OF THE UNREACHED PEOPLE LIVE IN THE AREA FROM 10 TO 40 DEGREES NORTH OF 13:50 THE EQUATOR. GOSPEL OUTREACH HAS A UNIQUE APPROACH WITH THE SUPPORT OF PEOPLE LIKE 13:55 YOU WE SPONSOR LOCAL GOSPEL WORKERS IN MORE THAN FIFTY COUNTRIES. BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE LANGUAGE, 14:02 CULTURE AND RELIGIONS OF THEIR NEIGHBORS THEY FACE FEWER CHALLENGES THAT FOREIGN MISSIONARIES WOULD. 14:07 TOGETHER WITH YOU WE FUND MORE THAN 2000 BIBLE WORKERS BUT MORE ARE NEEDED. LET'S REACH THE 14:14 UNREACHED WITH THE SAVING POWER OF GOD'S LOVE. JOIN US. SPONSOR A BIBLE WORKER. DONATE. PRAY. 14:24 AND WE HOPE THAT YOU ENJOYED THAT VIDEO OF THE MELASHENKO FAMILY SINGERS AS TOGETHER THEY ARE 14:28 LIFTING UP THEIR VOICES IN PRAISE TO JESUS AND WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO YOU FOR BEING 14:33 INVOLVED HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH AND WE HAVE GREAT NEWS THAT WE WOULD LOVE TO SEND TO YOU. 14:37 IT IS OUR NEWSLETTER ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS FILLED WITH ALL SORTS OF FANTASTIC 14:42 STORIES FROM OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS WHO ARE WORKING IN THAT 10/40 WINDOW 14:47 FROM 10 TO 40 DEGREES NORTH OF THE EQUATOR. YOU CAN ALSO FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA, 14:52 ON INSTAGRAM, ON FACEBOOK AND ALSO, WE HAVE A YOUTUBE CHANNEL WHERE YOU CAN SEE 14:57 PROGRAMS JUST LIKE THIS. SO, WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATIONS, YOUR PRAYERS 15:01 AND FOR PARTNERING AND BEING PART OF THE GOSPEL OUTREACH FAMILY. WELL, SPEAKING OF FAMILY WE ARE 15:06 TALKING WITH LONNIE MELASHENKO AND HIS BROTHER JOEDY MELASHENKO OF THE INFAMOUS MELASHENKO 15:12 FAMILY SINGERS AND WELCOME BACK TO BOTH OF YOU. WE'RE TALKING HERE ABOUT YOUR FAMILY AND ALSO, 15:19 WE'RE ALSO TALKING ABOUT AN UPCOMING CONCERT BUT BOTH OF YOU HAVE A HEART FOR MISSION AND THAT HAS 15:24 BROUGHT YOU AND BROUGHT GOSPEL OUTREACH TOGETHER AND LONNIE AND JOEDY, WHY DON'T YOU SHARE A LITTLE 15:30 BIT OF THAT, HOW YOU'VE GOTTEN INVOLVED IN GOSPEL OUTREACH? WELL, IT WAS ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO THAT 15:39 GOSPEL OUTREACH BOARD CHAIRMAN, KEN CRAWFORD WHO HAPPENS TO BE A GOOD FRIEND OF OURS, 15:44 WE WERE SOCIALIZING TOGETHER AND HE SAID, WELL JOEDY, NOW THAT YOU HAVE RETIRED YOU KNOW, 15:51 WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING? AND THAT WAS REALLY -IT WAS VERY TIMELY BECAUSE MY WIFE AND I HAD BEEN 15:56 PRAYING, LORD, WE'RE RETIRED BUT WE STILL HAVE, WE STILL HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF FUEL LEFT IN OUR TANK 16:02 YOU KNOW, OPEN THE DOOR TO A MINISTRY THAT WE KNOW HAS SOME ETERNAL END TIME IMPACT AND IT WAS JUST 16:11 SUCH AN ANSWER TO PRAYER THAT THIS OPPORTUNITY CAME AROUND. I NEED TO BACK UP A LITTLE BIT. 16:17 MY MOM AND DAD, THEIR PARENTS ALL WERE IMMIGRANTS FROM RUSSIA, FROM THE UKRAINE. THEY WERE RUSSIAN 16:24 SPEAKING UKRAINIANS. THEY WERE PART OF THE DEPRESSION ERA GENERATION WHERE THEY WERE FRUGAL, 16:31 AND SAVED MONEY BUT MY DAD, BLESS HIS HEART, OVER THE YEARS AND I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY 16:37 AH, YARD SALES AND HOW MANY PLANT SALES AND VEGETABLE SALES THEY HELPED SPONSOR NUMEROUS 16:44 STUDENTS THERE AT THE SEMINARY IN RUSSIA. DAD WENT WHEN HE WAS IN HIS 70'S TO HELP BUILD A CHURCH. 16:51 SO, THAT THE IMPACT OF BEING OF HAVING MISSION BLOOD FLOWING THROUGH OUR VEINS WAS DEMONSTRATED 16:57 VERY VIVIDLY BY MY DAD AND MOM. LONNIE, MAYBE YOU CAN REFLECT LITTLE BIT ON THAT EVENT THERE 17:04 IN BORISLOV. YES, WE WENT THERE AND PLANTED A BRAND-NEW CHURCH AH, THERE IS NOTHING THERE. THERE 17:11 WAS STONE. THERE WAS NO POSSIBILITY. WE WENT THERE AND WE RAISED UP A CHURCH. DAD AND MOM WENT WITH 17:17 ME. ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF MY LIFE ALTHOUGH I JUST WISH I COULD HAVE SPOKEN THE LANGUAGE. DAD'S 17:22 RUSSIAN-UKRANIAN WAS SO OLD THEY ASKED HIM TO HAVE AN INTERPRETER EVEN THOUGH HE COULD SPEAK IT, 17:28 HE WAS SPEAKING IT LIKE IT WOULD BE SHAKESPEARIAN ENGLISH AND HE NEEDED TO USE SOMETHING MORE 17:34 MODERN. BUT WHAT A THRILL AND JOEDY CAME WITH ME THEN TO PERM, RUSSIA, AND YOU KNOW AND IT IS IN 17:40 OUR BLOOD HAVING WORKED WITH GEORGE VANDEMAN AND HMS RICHARDS BROADCAST TELEVISION PROGRAM. THERE 17:47 IS NOTHING MORE REWARDING. I BAPTIZED A PERSON NOT TOO MANY YEARS AGO WHO WAS WATCHING OUR PROGRAM ON 17:55 3ABN -MY EVANGELISTIC SERIES. SHE'S A CATHOLIC SHE WORKED FOR THE BISHOP IN EVANSVILLE AND EVENTUALLY 18:05 WAS BAPTIZED. IT'S ABSOLUTELY THRILLING STORIES LIKE THAT AND JOEDY, REMEMBER IN THE PHILIPPINES 18:09 THERE THAT LITTLE GIRL, 15-YEAR-OLD THAT CAME DOWN WITH HER LITTLE CRUTCH AND SHE WAS BUDDHIST, SHE 18:15 DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT JESUS. SHE HAPPENED TO BE ATTENDING OUR SCHOOL. JOEDY, YOU GOT TO BAPTIZE 18:19 HER. SHE IS AT THE SEMINARY RIGHT NOW. WOW. AND SHE'S ON HER OWN BUT THESE KINDS OF THINGS ARE SO 18:26 REWARDING. YOU CANNOT EVEN -YOU CAN'T PAY FOR IT. NO MONEY. IT'S JUST THE THRILL OF REACHING OUT TO 18:33 PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW ABOUT JESUS. WELL, AND THE THING LONNIE, THAT I THINK THAT CAPTURED US. THE 18:39 DEALMAKER WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH IS THERE IS NO OTHER MINISTRY LIKE IT. UM, 18:47 YES THERE'S MINISTRIES OUT THERE SHARING THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL AH, BUT WHEN WE DISCOVERED THAT 18:54 95 PER CENT PLUS OF ALL DONATIONS GO DIRECTLY TO THESE GOSPEL WORKERS IN THE 10/40 WINDOW, THAT 19:02 THERE IS ONLY ONE OR ONE AND A HALF. I MEAN THEIR OVERHEAD AS FAR AS PAID STAFF IS JUST AS MINIMAL 19:09 AS YOU CAN GET AND IT'S A VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION. AND FOR ME, THAT JUST SPOKE VOLUMES. YOU KNOW, 19:15 IT IS ONE THING TO DO SOMETHING IF YOU GET A PAYCHECK, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT A JOB BUT WHEN 19:19 YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE WHO'VE GOT A PASSION LIKE WE'VE SEEN AT GOSPEL OUTREACH WE SAID, LORD, YOU KNOW, 19:24 AS LONG AS YOU GIVE US BREATH, WE ARE GOING TO SHARE THE GOSPEL OUTREACH STORY WITH THE WORLD AND 19:30 YOU KNOW, HERE THREE SUMMERS AGO WE DID A CAMPMEETING TOUR UP IN CANADA. GOSPEL OUTREACH, 19:35 CANADA THEY TRY TO REACH THE PEOPLE IN NORTH AFRICA AND THEY NEEDED ABOUT A DOZEN OR SO 19:41 BIBLE WORKERS SPONSORED, WE SAID, HEY, WE'LL RAISE THE FUNDS FOR THAT. WELL, NOT ONLY RAISE 19:46 FUNDS FOR THAT BUT WE RAISED FUNDS FOR ABOUT 100. GOD JUST TOUCHES PEOPLES HEARTS WHEN THEY HEAR 19:54 THE GOSPEL OUTREACH STORY. AND IN REALITY, IT IS PROBABLY THE BEST KEPT SECRET BECAUSE TOO MANY 19:59 PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT. WELL, THIS IS TRUE AND I HAVE-I WEAR TWO HATS. ONE WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH 20:06 AND WITH BIBLE IN LIVING SOUND AND YES, TO NOT HAVE EMPLOYEES ON THE PAYROLL AND HAVE, YES, 20:12 THERE ARE EXPENSES AND THINGS LIKE THAT BUT NO, IT MAKES GOSPEL OUTREACH STAND OUT. WELL, MY BROTHER 20:19 JOEDY IS A GOOD SALESMAN. HE CAN SELL POPSICLES TO THE ESKIMOS. HE TOLD ME ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH. 20:27 I'D NEVER REALLY PAID MUCH ATTENTION OR EVEN HEARD ABOUT IT ESPECIALLY THIS 10/40 WINDOW- NOW 20:33 I'D HEARD A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT BUT THEN A DEAR FRIEND OF MINE WHO IS A FORMER GENERAL CONFERENCE 20:38 TREASURER WHO HAPPENED TO BE ON THE BOARD AT GOSPEL OUTREACH-THAT'S ELDER BOB ROSSEN. HE 20:44 CAME TO ME AT CHURCH A COUPLE OF TIMES AND HE SAID YOU REALLY NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT SOMETHING THAT'S 20:49 GOT MY ATTENTION. NOW HERE IS SOMEONE WHO WORKED FOR THE WORLD CHURCH, THE PAID ORGANIZATION, 20:54 ALL THE MISSIONARIES AND COLPORTEURS AND TEACHERS AND PASTORS AND EVANGELISTS. 20:58 HE SAID, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS LAY DRIVEN, COMPLETELY. IT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION. 21:06 AND SO, IT'S BEEN A BLESSING TO ME. I STARTED LIKE A LITTLE KID FOLLOWING JOEDY AROUND TO SOME OF HIS 21:13 PRESENTATIONS WITH HIS WIFE AND IT MOVED ME TO TEARS. IT IS A POWERFUL, POWERFUL MINISTRY AND 21:19 JESUS SAYS IN MATTHEW 24, GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD AND BAPTIZE. WELL, WE HAVEN'T BEEN GOING 21:26 INTO ALL THE WORLD. WE'VE BEEN GOING TO THOSE ESPECIALLY THE CHRISTIAN ORIENTED COUNTRIES 21:32 AND SO I HAVE BEEN MOST IMPRESSED WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH AND THE LAY DRIVEN DIMENSION OF IT. 21:38 IT IS SO EXCITING THAT JEANNIE AND I, WE'RE IN, WE'RE INVESTING IN IT. WELL, AND THANK YOU TO 21:43 BOTH OF YOU AND LONNIE, IT'S BEEN A JOY TO HAVE YOU HERE AS ONE OF THE HOSTS OF "ADVENTURES 21:48 IN MISSIONS" AND TO HAVE YOUR INVOLVEMENT THAT WAY AH, WITH YOUR PROFESSIONALISM AND 21:53 CAREER AND JOEDY TO HAVE YOU LEADING THE FAMILY SINGERS. SO, LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE 21:58 UPCOMING GOSPEL OUTREACH RALLY AND WE USED TO RALLY THE TERM IS A MEETING TO COME TOGETHER 22:04 AND IT WILL BE AT THE LOMA LINDA UNIVERSITY CHURCH ON THE 26TH OF MARCH AT 6 O'CLOCK 22:10 AND A FREE EVENT. IT WILL BE WITH THE MELASHENKO FAMILY SINGERS AND ALSO, YOU'LL BE PRESENTING 22:16 INFORMATION ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH. SO, JOEDY TELL PEOPLE WHAT THEY CAN EXPECT AT THE PRESENTATION. 22:23 WELL, MAYBE I'M IN A CAMP BY MYSELF, BUT YOU KNOW, UNFORTUNATELY IN THIS MEDIA DRIVEN WORLD WE LIVE 22:33 IN, YOU KNOW THERE IS FACEBOOK, THERE IS TWITTER, THERE IS YOU KNOW ALL KINDS OF STUFF. PEOPLE 22:40 ARE LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A WARM BODY IN FRONT OF A WARM BODY. AND YES, 22:46 I'M SURE THIS WILL BE BROADCAST AND PEOPLE WILL SEE IT ON YOUTUBE OR WHATEVER BUT WE REALLY, 22:51 REALLY LOVE TO MEET PEOPLE PERSON TO PERSON AND WE'VE GOT A LOT OF FRIENDS AND CLASSMATES 22:59 AND PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE KNOWN THROUGH THE YEARS IN LOMA LINDA AND I JUST WOULD LOVE TO SEE, YOU KNOW, 23:04 A BUNCH OF CLASSMATES, FRIENDS, PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD AN IMPACT OR MAYBE OUR FAMILY HAS IMPACTED. 23:10 IT'S GOING TO PROBABLY ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF PROGRAM AND DEFINITELY WE'LL BE GIVING 23:16 THE PEOPLE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW THEY CAN HELP SPONSOR A BIBLE WORKER IN THE 10/40 WINDOW. 23:22 I WILL JUST THROW THIS AS AN ASIDE, BUT WE HAVE JUST FINISHED REDOING OUR TRUSTS AS A FAMILY, 23:30 MY WIFE AND I AND UM, GOSPEL OUTREACH IS FRONT AND CENTER AND WE KNOW THAT TIME IS NOT-YOU KNOW 23:39 THE LORD SPOKE SOME WONDERFUL WORDS AFTER THE EXPERIENCE OF LAZARUS. HE SAID, YOU KNOW I HAVE 23:45 COME-THE ENEMY COMES TO STEAL AND DESTROY BUT I HAVE COME THAT YOU MAY HAVE LIFE AND LIFE MORE 23:52 ABUNDANTLY, AMEN, AND IN THIS DARK AGE WE LIVE IN RIGHT NOW WE NEED MORE ABUNDANT LIVING AND I JUST 24:00 HOPE THAT THIS CONCERT WILL EXUDE THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, WE ARE ABUNDANTLY IN LOVE WITH JESUS. 24:05 ABSOLUTELY. LONNIE. WELL, YOU KNOW JESUS ALSO SAID, LAY NOT UP FOR YOURSELF TREASURES ON THIS 24:11 EARTH. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE PILING UP STOCKS AND THERE IS SO MUCH MONEY OUT THERE -WHAT ARE 24:18 WE GOING TO DO WHEN WE DO WHEN WE GET TO HEAVEN WITH ALL THAT MONEY THAT GOT RUSTED DOWN THERE ON 24:23 PLANET EARTH? SO, I'M WITH JOEDY AND OUR FAMILY WE'RE READJUSTING OUR OWN WILLS AND DOCUMENTS, 24:28 WE WANT TO MEET OUR MONEY IN THE FORMS OF PEOPLE, THAT'S RIGHT, INDIVIDUALS WHO COME TO KNOW JESUS. 24:35 ABSOLUTELY. WELL, AND THAT'S THE JOY OF BEING PART OF GOSPEL OUTREACH WHERE WE 24:41 ARE HEARING FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE LEARNING ABOUT THE JOY AND THE HOPE OF THE RISEN 24:45 SAVIOUR. YOU MENTIONED LAZARUS AND JESUS IS RISEN. HE RAISED LAZARUS FROM THE DEAD 24:50 AND HE WANTED TO MAKE SURE TO SHARE THAT. AND LONNIE, OR JOEDY RATHER, YOU GAVE EPHESIANS 24:57 5:19, SPEAKING TO ONE ANOTHER WITH PSALMS WITH SONGS OF THE SPIRIT SING AND MAKE MUSIC FROM YOUR 25:04 HEARTS TO THE LORD. AND YOUR FAMILY WILL BE DOING JUST THAT. WE ARE GOING TO DO THAT EXACTLY.
