00:43 >> Welcome to It Is Written
00:45 Canada.
00:45 Last week Mario Roque, our
00:47 special guest, shared his story
00:50 of how, although he was a
00:52 successful business man making
00:53 his first million building
00:55 houses at an early age, he did
00:58 not find the happiness that he
01:00 was searching for.
01:02 >> Mario shared how he ended up
01:04 losing it all, his wife and his
01:07 fortune, and he was even
01:09 $2 million in the hole.
01:12 However, this time of personal,
01:14 emotional, financial, and
01:17 relational despair, became the
01:19 time of his greatest blessing
01:21 when he had a personal
01:23 encounter with God.
01:24 >> Mario is now back this week
01:27 to share with us how he has
01:29 been serving God daily and what
01:31 miracles he has been witnessing
01:34 in his service of the Lord.
01:36 Mario, welcome back to It Is
01:38 Written Canada.
01:40 >> Glad to be back.
01:41 Thank you.
01:41 >> So last week, Mario, you had
01:43 told us about what drives you
01:46 is your desire to expand the
01:49 kingdom of God.
01:50 Tell us how the Lord has been
01:52 leading you and guiding you to
01:54 do that.
01:55 >> One of my first experiences
01:58 with God was...
02:01 with my friend, Lorne.
02:02 We went to a convention, the
02:05 pastor asked us to pray for
02:08 someone near us for healing.
02:11 This friend of mine had myelin
02:15 atrophy, that's where the
02:16 nerves have no coating on them,
02:19 he had been--
02:20 from his knees down.
02:22 He was on a narcotic patch for
02:25 15 years.
02:27 I prayed for him for just two
02:28 minutes as a brand new
02:30 Christian and he said to me,
02:32 "Mario, it's gone!"
02:34 And I said, "What's gone?"
02:36 And he said, "The pain, it's
02:37 disappeared."
02:39 Of course, ten minutes later I
02:40 had asked him, "How is it?" and
02:42 he said, "Mario, I told you,
02:43 it's gone."
02:44 Half hour later I asked him
02:45 again, "How is it?" he says,
02:47 "Look, I told you, it's gone!"
02:50 And sure enough, til the day he
02:53 died, about a year ago, he had
02:56 no more pain like that.
02:58 It completely vanished.
03:00 >> And he had been suffering in
03:01 pain for how long?
03:02 [MARIO] Fifteen years.
03:05 The...
03:08 The narcotic patch muted the
03:11 pain so it could be bearable
03:14 and he could take a lot of
03:15 pain, Lorne could take a lot of
03:17 pain, but it was
03:19 completely gone.
03:20 The hardest part for him was
03:22 actually getting off the
03:24 medication.
03:25 He did it on his own.
03:27 For 11 days he didn't sleep, he
03:30 was having the shakes, the
03:31 sweats, never told the doctor
03:33 anything til about almost three
03:34 weeks later, took him about two
03:36 months to get rid of the
03:39 residue from the narcotics.
03:42 So he was truly-- it was truly
03:44 a miracle that I experienced
03:46 with him and I praise God
03:48 for that.
03:50 Locally, I've-- the Lord, I
03:52 believe, has inspired me to, of
03:55 course I've supported my local
03:56 church for the last 19, 20
03:59 years, built a church in
04:02 Hamilton, Really Living Church.
04:04 [upbeat musi]
04:06 [MARIO] In the winter of 2016, I
04:08 was inspired to start a nutrient
04:10 dense organic farm
04:12 in Hamilton, Ontario.
04:14 So now we have a market garden,
04:17 green houses, and an orchard.
04:19 We also are doing a lot of
04:21 ministry through the health
04:24 message and we have a
04:25 naturopathic doctor,
04:27 nutritionist, etcetera that
04:28 come and do consultation here,
04:32 we also have a 30 Day in
04:33 Paradise and the first time we
04:36 did that was two years ago.
04:38 There was a young lady that I
04:39 met that looked very distraught
04:41 and didn't look well at all.
04:43 I saw her a few months later, I
04:44 didn't recognize her after she
04:46 took the program.
04:47 So it works very well for a lot
04:49 of people.
04:50 As well as we have at Camp
04:53 Frenda in the Muskokas in
04:55 Ontario, we have a One Week in
04:57 Paradise where we administer to
05:00 about 22 or 23 guests through
05:04 nutrition, we also do some
05:06 spiritual teachings and so on
05:09 and it's been fairly
05:11 successful.
05:12 At the end of the road I would
05:14 love to have an agricultural
05:16 facility here, agrotourism
05:18 facility as well as a wellness
05:20 centre on the property
05:21 to cap off.
05:23 That would be the crown jewel
05:24 of everything we're attempting
05:26 here.
05:26 [upbeat music continues]
05:29 ♪♪
05:32 [MARIO] I'm involved locally
05:33 like that as well as I've done
05:37 a lot of foreign missions.
05:40 I first got involved where I
05:42 visited a number of times,
05:45 Cuba, Laos, Vietnam, China, and
05:49 I also supported North Korea.
05:52 Five out of the six communist
05:53 countries where it's some of
05:56 the most difficult places to
05:58 preach the gospel because of
05:59 the rules.
06:00 For instance, in Laos, the
06:02 church cannot own churches,
06:04 cannot own property, so we've
06:07 devised certain ways of getting
06:09 around that.
06:11 So I'm, right now I'm just very
06:13 heavily involved in Laos
06:15 primarily although I've
06:16 supported work in Peru through
06:20 ADRA last year and would like
06:24 to support that again and also
06:27 in Belize, I'm supporting
06:29 building onto a school there,
06:32 upgrading the church, there was
06:34 a person there that needed a
06:38 kidney transplant.
06:39 Of course they have no funds so
06:41 I've been supporting
06:41 that family.
06:43 Things like that, but for the
06:45 most part it's been mostly I've
06:47 decided to concentrate on one
06:49 country.
06:50 That's Laos.
06:52 Why Laos?
06:53 Two reasons: A, it's the
06:55 poorest country in the region,
06:58 it's surrounded by, if no one
07:01 knows where Laos is, Cambodia
07:03 on the south, on the west, I
07:05 believe it's west, it's
07:08 Thailand, Vietnam on the other
07:10 side, Myanmar and China, so
07:13 it's around-- it's in the
07:15 centre of all those countries,
07:17 not in the centre, but it
07:19 borders all those countries.
07:21 So I decided to support it for
07:22 two reasons like I mentioned,
07:24 one being because I can trust
07:27 the people there and I
07:29 believe-- they're so
07:30 hard-working, they're just,
07:32 they're totally consecrated to
07:34 the Lord and give their
07:35 lives for that.
07:37 And two...
07:39 ...is again, like I said,
07:41 is because it's the poorest
07:43 country in the region, I always
07:45 love the underdog. [chuckles]
07:47 So that's who they are
07:49 in the region.
07:50 So I've been supporting that
07:51 for about three years now and
07:53 I've made a commitment for five
07:54 years which hopefully it'll be
07:56 forever.
07:59 That's what I'm doing
08:00 right now.
08:02 >> So, Mario, when you go to a
08:04 country like Laos, what do
08:05 these people feel that God has
08:07 done for them?
08:11 >> Well, first of all, they
08:13 find that they have hope.
08:16 I can tell you a few stories
08:17 like that.
08:19 The first time I went there we
08:21 went to some very remote
08:22 village and we ate outside by a
08:26 river, there was a number of
08:29 people there, there was a
08:31 pastor, he's the only one that
08:33 had a Bible, but these people
08:35 wanted to know about the Lord.
08:37 So I actually asked these two
08:39 women, "What has the Lord done
08:41 for you?" and the first one
08:44 said, "I used to be terribly
08:47 afraid to go into the jungle,
08:48 we're right on the edge of the
08:50 jungle actually, and I used to
08:52 be terribly afraid to go into
08:54 the jungle because I thought
08:55 the spirits of the jungle would
08:57 attack me and I would die and I
09:01 don't believe that anymore, I
09:02 believe Jesus is my protector
09:04 and I feel free."
09:07 I asked second person the
09:08 same-- similar question to
09:11 another person, another woman,
09:14 and she said something very
09:16 similar, "I used to be afraid
09:17 of the water, of the river,
09:19 because I thought that it would
09:21 drown me, the spirit would
09:22 drown me," because in Laos
09:25 there have-- they basically
09:28 have two religions, one is
09:30 Buddhism and the other one is
09:33 Spiritism and the believe that
09:36 everything has spirits.
09:38 So the rocks have spirits, the
09:39 jungle has spirits and they can
09:41 attack you or they can--
09:44 they still sacrifice animals to
09:46 these spirits there.
09:49 So before they build a house,
09:51 they sacrifice animals
09:53 for safety.
09:55 That's how far back
09:57 where they are.
09:59 I've seen a lot of
10:01 stories of hope.
10:03 I visited in a town, a house
10:06 church on Saturday and while I
10:10 was outside, before I went in,
10:11 I could feel the presence of
10:13 God in there and they were
10:14 worshipping God, playing guitar
10:16 and singing in their native
10:18 tongue.
10:19 And I asked them, "Where do
10:21 you-- how did you guys end up
10:23 meeting in this house as a
10:26 church?" and they said,
10:28 "Because we're from the north
10:30 and we've been run out of our
10:32 home and our land because of
10:34 our faith.
10:36 We're not allowed to practice
10:37 our faith so we had to move."
10:40 So that is like a house of
10:41 refuge owned by someone and
10:43 when they come from the north
10:44 they stay there for a while,
10:46 try to find a job.
10:48 So they have hope.
10:52 I also met a young man that was
10:54 leading a house church in a
10:56 village and I notice that there
11:00 were about 40 people in this
11:01 house church and the reason I
11:04 was taken there is because they
11:05 wanted to buy a piece of land
11:08 to build a formal church
11:09 because it was outgrowing the
11:11 house church.
11:13 So I noticed that this young
11:14 man was preaching and most
11:16 family-- most of the people
11:18 there were young families
11:20 except for an old woman.
11:23 And then they told me their
11:24 story that this old woman used
11:29 to travel from there, that's in
11:32 the capital, but it's in the
11:33 outskirts of the capital, take
11:35 her five, six hours to walk
11:37 to church.
11:39 And sometimes some people in
11:42 the church would give her money
11:43 to take a bus part of the
11:45 way home.
11:48 This young man was at one time
11:51 demonically possessed, chained
11:53 to a post outside...
11:57 because they couldn't
11:58 deal with him.
11:58 A lot of people had taken him
12:00 to hospitals, some people had
12:03 prayed for him, this older
12:05 woman prayed for him fervently
12:09 and this was the young man that
12:10 was standing there preaching,
12:12 he was totally healed, had a
12:14 wife, a child, and it was--
12:16 he was a very happy young man.
12:19 When you see stories like that
12:20 it just breaks your heart and
12:22 you wanna do more because in
12:24 countries like that, dramatic
12:26 things do happen because these
12:28 people are simple people.
12:32 While I was there last time as
12:33 well, I went, we did some
12:38 projects out in the country and
12:40 I asked, there were
12:41 interpreters, "Is there
12:41 mice here?"
12:42 What a silly question.
12:44 And he said, "Of course
12:45 there is, we eat them."
12:48 And he said, "We also eat rats."
12:52 I went to the market, local
12:54 market, 90, 100 degrees
12:57 temperature, in wicker basket
13:01 was bat meat, looked very dark
13:03 to me with flies all around it
13:06 and they were selling that.
13:08 Laos suffered a lot of hunger
13:12 during the war, the Vietnam
13:13 War, and they've never really
13:15 recovered fully with
13:17 enough food.
13:19 So one of the things we did, I
13:21 started there on a full time
13:23 basis about three years ago,
13:26 during COVID they didn't have
13:27 enough food to eat so they
13:29 rented trucks and bought a lot
13:31 of rice and brought it to
13:33 villages to feed these people
13:35 because a lot of 'em could die
13:36 from hunger there.
13:38 It's that desperate.
13:40 So hope, when the people find
13:44 Christ, they definitely have
13:46 hope because living without
13:48 hope, they know they're gonna
13:49 live and die in poverty, live
13:52 and die in an environment where
13:55 there's no medical available,
13:58 no-- not enough food available.
14:01 And if you notice, one of the
14:03 things I notice, everybody
14:05 there is very slim.
14:07 You don't see overweight
14:07 people, especially out
14:08 in the country.
14:09 In the city you see the odd
14:10 person, in the country you
14:11 don't 'cause the simply do not
14:13 have enough food.
14:15 I've seen some of the most
14:16 dedicated people to the gospel
14:19 in places like that.
14:21 Met an older woman, went to her
14:24 house, we had din-- lunch at
14:26 her house.
14:28 Very unusual foods that looked
14:29 like herbs and a lot of very
14:31 unusual vegetarian dishes and
14:36 she used to be in the army at
14:38 one time and was a communist
14:40 supporter and she found the
14:42 Lord and now she preaches the
14:44 gospel, she's the local
14:46 evangelist and she's been to
14:48 prison a number of times, but
14:50 it has never stopped her.
14:52 That's how dedicated some of
14:53 these people are.
14:54 It's incredible.
14:55 They live and breathe
14:57 evangelism and looking after
15:00 one another and so on.
15:02 So in places like that,
15:04 children have no ability to get
15:07 a higher education so one of
15:09 the things we do, we support,
15:11 part of the budget is to
15:13 support students to go to
15:15 Spicer and also to the
15:17 Philippines to study.
15:19 So we have people that are
15:21 becoming doctors and nurses and
15:23 teachers and so-- because there
15:26 is no infrastructure in Laos
15:30 so we're building schools for
15:32 people to learn English, it's
15:33 one way that they use for
15:35 evangelism.
15:36 These large schools, you'd be
15:38 surprised for two, three
15:40 hundred thousand dollars you
15:41 can build a large school
15:42 in Laos.
15:43 And so we're buying land for
15:46 churches, for schools, we're
15:47 building them and giving people
15:49 hope because there is-- in a
15:51 place like that there is
15:52 no hope.
15:53 Their whole-- for generations
15:55 they live and die at a very
15:57 early age.
15:58 The average woman in Laos, I
16:00 don't know exactly what age
16:02 they die, but a lot of them are
16:03 in their 20's and 30's.
16:05 I walked into a village once,
16:08 again, the first time I was
16:10 there, and I noticed it was
16:11 only children, just a couple of
16:13 adults, so we had a service
16:15 there, it was mostly children,
16:16 two adults.
16:17 So I said, "Where are all the
16:19 adults?"
16:19 They're all dead.
16:22 Because they didn't have water
16:25 to drink, good water to drink,
16:27 good sanitation.
16:28 They would go to the bathroom
16:30 in the forest, right next to
16:33 the, I wouldn't even call it a
16:34 river, I was there in the dry
16:36 season so it was very low, very
16:38 brown, and they would go to the
16:40 bathroom next door and then
16:43 they would drink that water and
16:44 it would come from upstream,
16:46 with that kind of material in
16:48 the water as well.
16:50 So they were dying very young
16:51 from gastrointestinal diseases
16:54 because they did not have
16:56 enough water to drink.
16:58 So while it was build there,
17:00 they had water tower, they--
17:02 bathrooms were built there for
17:06 communal, for women and for
17:07 men, so that they at least--
17:10 and they were taught some
17:12 hygiene, basic hygiene.
17:14 That's one of the first things
17:15 I noticed in visiting these
17:18 poor, very poor countries,
17:19 hygiene is-- they don't know
17:20 what hygiene is.
17:23 They don't know so they lose
17:24 their teeth very young, they
17:25 die very young, women start--
17:28 they have nothing to do so they
17:29 get pregnant as soon as they
17:31 are able to and they have too
17:32 many children and they can't
17:34 bear it and they die young.
17:36 So these people need help.
17:38 There was this young lady whose
17:43 husband is a drug addict, she
17:46 had some kind of flesh-eating
17:47 disease on one leg.
17:49 So from the knee down she was in
17:52 excruciating pain over a year.
17:56 No medications, no hospitals,
17:58 no medical, nothing.
18:01 So funds were raised to get her
18:05 leg amputated from the knee
18:07 down, she had that done, I saw
18:10 pictures of her before.
18:12 She looked very, very sad and
18:15 very, like, there was-- you
18:16 could see in her face, the pain
18:18 was coming through.
18:21 Three weeks after the
18:22 operation, three, four weeks, I
18:25 saw her doing some sewing and
18:28 she had the biggest smile on
18:29 her face because all the pain
18:31 was gone and she was
18:33 praising God.
18:35 The other story is local, and
18:37 I've got many story-- I
18:38 probably have a hundred stories
18:39 to tell, but I met a man in his
18:44 early to mid 50's at the farm
18:46 one day and for some reason I
18:49 was inspired to ask him why he
18:52 showed up there and he said
18:54 that he was a very sick person
18:57 and that he came there to buy
18:59 vegetables and so on, he came
19:01 to Paradise Fields to buy
19:02 vegetables.
19:04 And I looked him straight in
19:05 the eye, I said, "God's gonna
19:06 heal you."
19:07 I had no clue what was wrong
19:09 with him.
19:10 Zero.
19:12 So I talked to him on and off
19:13 for about six months, one day
19:15 that friend of mine, Lorne, and
19:18 I visited him, we anointed him
19:22 and asked him if he wanted to
19:23 do Bible studies.
19:25 This was the beginning of COVID
19:27 and we did Bible studies over
19:30 the phone.
19:31 Now, because he was at home all
19:35 the time, he-- let me tell you
19:37 what his problem was, he was
19:40 very depressed and full of
19:42 anxiety, he didn't wanna leave
19:44 the house, didn't wanna be
19:46 around anybody, wasn't
19:48 sleeping, wasn't eating, just
19:51 very, very dysfunctional.
19:54 So we started doing Bible
19:55 studies with him during COVID
19:57 over the phone.
19:58 Now, he's originally from
20:00 Romania, he was a-- back home
20:03 he was a-- he audited banks,
20:08 that's what he did for a
20:09 living, here he worked with the
20:10 handicapped and things like
20:12 that before he got very sick.
20:14 But we started doing Bible
20:16 studies.
20:17 I did 27 Bible studies with him
20:19 over the phone in 27 days.
20:22 [chuckles]
20:23 And then we did prophecy
20:25 studies.
20:26 Now, they were a little bit
20:27 more complicated, there were 32
20:28 lessons and it took longer, so
20:30 that probably took us about two
20:32 months to do 32 lessons.
20:36 He completely changed.
20:37 He started working on the farm
20:38 and his wife tells me the
20:41 reason he's healed is because
20:42 he worked on the farm, because
20:45 of the peace that he found
20:46 there, the birds, the nature.
20:49 He used to tell me he has a
20:51 friend there who's a frog.
20:52 [chuckles]
20:55 And he's completely healed.
20:57 He's one of the happiest
20:59 persons you'll ever-- people
21:00 you'll ever meet.
21:02 And...
21:04 ...that's a miracle in itself
21:07 and it's all because he got to
21:09 know the Lord and he started
21:11 working in an environment where
21:13 there was peace and there was
21:14 nature and he saw God in
21:16 everything.
21:18 And, as a matter of fact, they
21:20 tell me that in Quebec that
21:22 they have a farm like that
21:23 where they send people, the
21:24 government, I think it's the
21:25 government sends people there
21:27 for healing, working on a farm,
21:29 so...
21:29 And we've had a number of
21:30 healings on the farm.
21:32 Our mechanic used to be
21:34 depressed, he no longer has
21:36 meds. [chuckles]
21:38 He's a happy man.
21:40 We had a young lady that used
21:41 to manage the market garden,
21:43 she was all full of anxiety,
21:45 alcoholic, drug-aholic, quit
21:47 all of that, totally normal.
21:50 So I've see miracles
21:52 everywhere, everywhere I've
21:54 seen a lot of-- in foreign
21:55 lands and here.
21:58 >> So, Mario, God has really
22:00 blessed you and you have
22:03 resources that you can use to
22:05 buy things for yourself.
22:08 Are you ever tempted
22:10 to do that?
22:13 >> Not really, I have
22:14 everything I need, I have a
22:15 home here, I've got a property,
22:18 it's a small property in
22:19 Florida, it's a town home, but
22:21 we go there and we go north a
22:24 little bit in the summer.
22:25 That's good enough for me.
22:27 What more do I need?
22:28 My son is of the same opinion.
22:29 Once you have what you need,
22:30 what do you want more for?
22:32 So we only want more for two
22:34 reasons, one is to make sure
22:35 the company is in good
22:37 financial condition, we don't
22:40 wanna-- I don't wanna go
22:41 through that again where it's
22:42 $2 million in the hole so we
22:44 wanna stabilize the company,
22:46 which it's pretty stable now.
22:48 And apart from that, it's for
22:50 the Lord's work.
22:51 So I hope one day soon that we
22:53 can do 50, 60, 70% of the funds
22:58 for that Lord and that could be
23:00 a tremendous amount of money
23:02 and-- because after all, I take
23:04 it literally, this all belongs
23:05 to Him.
23:06 I'm just His steward
23:07 and I take it literally.
23:09 It's not about me.
23:10 He's blessed me in so many
23:13 ways, I thank Him every day
23:14 when I think about how He's
23:16 blessed me, not just
23:18 financially, but emotionally,
23:20 relationally, friendships,
23:24 peace in my life and I want
23:26 that for the whole world, so if
23:28 I can be a little bit of help
23:30 in that area, I'm willing to do
23:32 what it takes.
23:34 >> Mario, a last question that
23:36 I have for you is maybe there's
23:39 someone who is in a condition
23:42 like you were where you felt
23:45 like you were in your deepest
23:46 despair and they feel like it's
23:50 just too dark, how do I get out
23:53 of this?
23:54 What would you say to them?
23:57 >> I've seen a lot of
23:58 experiences like that so I can
23:59 speak from experience.
24:00 None of these are just stories
24:02 that I read, these are from
24:03 experience.
24:05 Where people are in that kind
24:06 of condition, they have come
24:08 totally out of it and today
24:10 they seek the Lord with all
24:11 their heart, they've tried and
24:13 they've had some help, some
24:16 people helping them.
24:17 And I can tell you a lot of
24:18 stories like that where people
24:21 were going to die from MS,
24:23 today perfectly healthy.
24:27 Was in a wheelchair in their
24:30 late 30's with three children,
24:31 today's totally healthy.
24:33 So I can...
24:36 There is no such thing as
24:37 despair with the Lord.
24:39 You can despair, but if you
24:40 reach out to God and ask Him to
24:43 come in your life and start
24:44 pursuing the Lord, He will work
24:46 miracles in your life, too.
24:50 No question in my mind.
24:51 I'm 100% convinced.
24:53 I've experienced hundreds of
24:55 stories so I believe all of
24:58 that. [laughs]
24:59 With all my heart.
25:00 >> And when you see it first
25:02 hand, you have faith...
25:04 [MARIO] Oh, yes.
25:05 [MIKE] ...that God is faithful.
25:06 >> Yes, yes, yeah.
25:08 [MIKE] Mario, I wonder if you
25:09 could pray for our viewers,
25:12 there are many who are
25:15 listening and they want their
25:16 faith to grow and can you pray
25:19 for them right now?
25:21 >> Certainly.
25:21 Heavenly Father, it is a
25:25 terrible thing to be in despair.
25:27 I've been there.
25:28 I have witnessed hundreds of
25:29 people being in that condition.
25:32 It is a terrible thing, Lord.
25:33 But all who reach out to You
25:35 earnestly from the heart,
25:37 You can heal.
25:39 You are Jehovah-Rophe, the Lord
25:41 is our Healer.
25:42 By Your stripes we are healed.
25:44 Those are not just words on the
25:46 pages of the Bible,
25:48 that is real.
25:49 God is the same yesterday,
25:51 today, and tomorrow.
25:53 When Jesus was on earth, He
25:54 healed everyone that came in
25:55 contact with Him, that reached
25:57 out to Him.
25:58 It's no different today.
25:59 If you reach out to the Lord,
26:02 there's no question in my mind,
26:03 if you do it from your heart,
26:05 He will heal whatever is
26:07 missing in your life and He
26:09 will give you peace and joy
26:11 because in God's presence there
26:12 is fullness of joy.
26:15 Amen.
26:17 [MIKE & RENÈ] Amen.
26:18 >> Mario, thank you so much for
26:20 having us here at your
26:21 beautiful home and for sharing
26:24 your wonderful story with us.
26:27 >> You're quite welcome.
26:28 I hope it inspires others to
26:32 raise their heads high in the
26:34 Lord and I hope everyone that
26:37 is listening today that they
26:39 would have a healing
26:40 in their life.
26:43 >> In the Bible, Jesus
26:45 essentially defined eternal
26:47 life in these two words,
26:49 "Knowing God."
26:51 Not simply knowing about God,
26:54 but actually knowing Him,
26:56 having a personal and positive
26:59 relationship with Him.
27:01 [MIKE] So our free offer for
27:03 you today is the book,

27:06 This book will walk you through
27:08 a practical step-by-step plan
