Amen. 04:05 Amen. 04:07 Well, we would like at this time 04:08 to share with you a scripture 04:09 that is found in the Book of Job 22:21. 04:16 Job 22:21. 04:18 And you've asked me to read this. 04:19 So, Job 22:21 says, 04:23 "Now acquaint yourself with him and be at peace, 04:29 thereby goodwill come to you." 04:31 Amen. And amen. 04:33 Well, this is a powerful scripture. 04:36 And we would like to know, 04:38 Jaime, would you have anything 04:39 that you would like to share about this? 04:42 Yes, it's just wonderful when we get to know the Lord. 04:45 Amen. 04:46 We get to know the Lord, we gain peace. 04:49 That's right. 04:50 That peace that is beyond what we can wish or desire. 04:56 So I'm just very grateful that we have that blessing 05:00 of coming to know our Lord Jesus. 05:03 Amen. Amen. 05:04 And so it's very, if you can look at it, 05:08 it's very few words in this scripture, 05:10 but they are full of meaning. 05:12 And you can spend a great deal of time 05:14 looking over them 05:15 and understanding that they are a promise. 05:18 "If you acquaint yourself with Him," 05:21 it says, "and be at peace, 05:24 thereby good will come to you." 05:26 This is a promise and a reality 05:29 that millions and millions of people 05:31 have experienced. 05:32 And I would like to include myself in there 05:34 in that group. 05:36 Jaime, would you, we know 05:38 a little bit of the background of your story 05:41 because you have shared your testimony, 05:43 especially on the 3ABN Latino channel 05:45 for our 3ABN Latino audience. 05:47 Can you give us a very brief telling 05:51 of your experience 05:52 because you didn't really grow up 05:54 in a Christian home? 05:56 Is that right? That's right. 05:57 That's right. I didn't. 05:59 And I grew up in a very harsh environment 06:05 in Colombia. 06:06 And then I came into the United States, 06:10 and got involved into drugs. 06:13 And I became a drug dealer. 06:16 And that's where I got into troubles 06:21 where led me to jail. 06:23 And there is where I met the Lord. 06:26 And my life got changed forever. 06:28 I mean, it's just wonderful. 06:32 It is, you know, the best thing that happened in my life, 06:36 it happened in jail, 06:37 it's kind of awkward to mention that 06:39 because it's not good to be in jail at all. 06:41 But what happened there, it really changed my life. 06:45 And it's just a blessing ever since. 06:49 He called me to get into ministry. 06:52 And that's why we've been doing, 06:54 working for Him ever since. 06:56 Amen. 06:57 Yes, it is a family ministry 06:59 that Jaime and his daughters and his wife are well involved. 07:03 So from dealing drugs 07:05 and having that type of lifestyle, 07:07 the Lord called you out. 07:09 He used someone in prison to bring this "Him" 07:14 which our scripture says, 07:15 "Now acquaint yourself with Him." 07:18 So you acquainted yourself with Him, 07:20 and you were at peace with Him, 07:21 and you decided to change for your life. 07:23 And this is a great turnaround. 07:26 Now you are the founder 07:27 and president of CMS Ministries. 07:29 Amen. That's right. 07:31 CMS stands for Centro Misionero de Salud 07:34 which is a health missionary center, 07:36 and is a family run ministry 07:39 that we began with God's help in 1995. 07:43 Praise the Lord, 1995. Yes. 07:45 Praise the Lord. That's right. 07:47 So where is Centro Misionero de Salud, 07:49 CMS. 07:51 Where is it? Where did it begin? 07:52 It's located in Mexico, 07:54 in the northeast part of Mexico. 07:58 And we are about three hours south of Monterey. 08:04 And even though we work from Texas 08:08 and have CMS is established 08:12 also in the nonprofit organization 08:16 in Texas, we mainly work in Mexico. 08:20 And that's where the base of operations is. 08:24 Yes, your lifestyle center. 08:25 Now I have in my notes here to ask you, 08:28 what is a family run ministry? 08:31 It sounds like a lot of work. 08:33 And could it be fun too? 08:35 Oh, yeah, definitely. 08:38 Definitely. 08:39 You know, we believe 08:41 that as we get closer to the end of time, 08:43 and especially what we're seeing nowadays, 08:46 that there, that God is calling more and more families 08:50 to start their own ministry, 08:52 and versus large institutions. 08:54 Although, you know, large institutions are fine, 08:58 and they are good. 08:59 But we're gonna be seeing more and more families, 09:03 at least that's what we, that's our experience. 09:07 We've been training a lot of families 09:10 that wants to start their own ministry as a family. 09:14 So family run ministry 09:16 is get a full time mostly working for the Lord, 09:23 in doing what as a family can be done 09:26 with God's help. 09:28 And that's large, 09:30 different things that can be done. 09:32 But that's basically what a family run ministry is. 09:36 It's a family that get involved into serving the Lord, 09:40 whether it will be the whole family 09:42 or part of the family. 09:43 We have seen some families 09:46 that not all the members are involved in it, 09:48 but some portion of the family are there 09:51 and they're doing a family ministry. 09:53 Yes. 09:54 Why would CMS focus 09:57 on training families to do ministries? 09:59 Why do you feel this is your calling? 10:01 Okay, well, first we start opening the training 10:05 for everybody as health missionary coach. 10:10 And we've been doing this training 10:14 for all this time. 10:15 And we saw that the families, they got involved in it. 10:21 And they took it more seriously. 10:23 And they start more in a mature way 10:28 to replicate what they learned. 10:32 And some of the young people, single people, when they come, 10:36 some stay working for the Lord, others might not. 10:41 They're trying to establish 10:43 what is they're gonna be doing in their life, 10:45 but the families are more mature. 10:48 And so we see that to do greater emphasis 10:53 on training the families to be full time ministry. 10:58 And we teach them 10:59 also in how to be self supportive, 11:03 you know, we teach them different industries, 11:06 different principles that will help us, 11:08 I mean, help each family to be able to be working. 11:13 And also the medical missionary work 11:16 is a big part of the training. 11:19 Agriculture, and how to help with the health, 11:26 you know, there are a lot of things 11:28 that we can help people with a good lifestyle. 11:33 There's a lot of good that can be done 11:35 in the medical missionary work with the preventive medicine 11:39 and some natural remedies and a good lifestyle. 11:42 Amen. Amen. 11:43 This is marvelous, 11:45 because medical missionary work is the work 11:47 that's going to bring to the attention of the world, 11:51 the work of Christ. 11:52 This is the work of Christ, medical missionary work. 11:55 I praise the Lord for that. 11:56 But, you know, one of the, 11:58 I guess you can call byproducts of a family ministry 12:01 is that it brings the family together. 12:03 There's a, the bond is strengthened, 12:06 the family bond is strengthened. 12:07 Praise the Lord. 12:09 So you have seen many families go through this training. 12:13 Do they recommend other families? 12:15 Oh, yes, definitely. 12:16 And they have started their work 12:18 in different countries. 12:20 We have families that they have a start already, 12:22 they are leading out ministries in Chile, Dominican Republic, 12:28 and in Panama, and in Colombia, and Mexico. 12:32 So we see how God is using these families 12:35 to start their own ministry. 12:36 We even have had families from the United States as well, 12:40 they have come in and take the training program. 12:42 So it's very good, 12:44 God seems to be calling families 12:48 to get in full time ministry. 12:50 And I think 12:51 we're gonna be seeing that more and more. 12:53 Now part of the training is gardening as well. 12:57 Isn't that true? Yes. 12:58 And so and we read in the Ellen G. White writings 13:00 that, "Every home should try to have a, 13:04 to grow their own food as much as possible." 13:06 Yes. 13:07 So this is part of your training. 13:09 What type of crops do you teach for the people to grow? 13:13 Well, we're gonna be sharing some of that 13:16 in the some pictures that we have. 13:21 So, but, we, according to the land 13:24 that we have, you know, we grow a lot of garlic, 13:27 you know, 13:28 that's one of the things that we do. 13:29 You have to have garlic. 13:33 But we also grow, you know, corn, beans, 13:36 all kinds of vegetables. 13:38 We have some pecans trees, peaches, plums. 13:43 A great variety. 13:44 Yeah. Great variety. Good, good. 13:46 Well, he mentioned that he has some pictures. 13:48 So how about if we share some pictures here? 13:50 And that way, you can walk us through them? 13:52 Yes. That will be great. Okay? 13:53 Let's look at the first picture. 13:55 Oh, you're celebrating your 25th anniversary. 13:57 Yeah, 1995. 13:59 That's when we started. 14:00 So we praise God 14:01 because He has been faithfully helping 14:04 and blessing us. 14:05 Amen. There's your lovely wife. 14:08 Yes. That's Marjorie. 14:10 And we're very glad to be able to work together. 14:14 Yes, that has been such a blessing. 14:16 So we praise God for her and also our daughters 14:19 that help us in the ministry. 14:21 That's right. 14:22 Now we have a map here on the screen. 14:23 What are we looking at? There's a circle in the map. 14:26 That is right. 14:27 In that little circle, that's where we are based off, 14:31 three hours south from Monterey up in the mountains. 14:35 All right. Up in the mountains? 14:37 Marvelous! So here's a picture... 14:39 That is beautiful. 14:40 Yes, you can see pecan trees, 14:42 How many acres do you have there? 14:44 We have 49 acres. 14:45 Forty nine acres, so you can do a lot with 49? 14:47 Yes, it is. 14:49 And it's a very nice setting. There you can see garlic. 14:52 That's a crop of garlic. 14:54 Oh, I love garlic. 14:55 And we sell garlic. 14:58 You know, we can, now we sell what we grow. 15:01 Right. 15:02 So we sell a lot of that, 15:04 in fact, we start selling to the neighbor. 15:06 So they can also have their crop 15:09 and a means to have an income. 15:12 So that has been a real blessing. 15:14 So we do teach the students 15:16 about to get involved in the garden, 15:19 and especially in the times that we're living on right now. 15:22 And going back to the family ministry, 15:27 you know, it's like a small group. 15:29 And you know, that the small groups is key, 15:32 is gonna play a key part in the end times, 15:35 is God's plan. 15:37 But we have seen the things 15:39 that are happening right now with the COVID 15:42 and how large gathering 15:45 and large operations have been limited. 15:48 But when we come down to family work, 15:54 there is a lot of things that the family can do 15:58 to spread the gospel. 16:00 That's right. That's right. 16:01 So those are the types of ministry 16:03 that the families can do is agriculture and sharing. 16:07 Do you guys teach baking and all this wonderful stuff? 16:11 Oh, yes, we teach them baking and bakery. 16:15 And also we teach them 16:18 how they can have a vegan cooking, 16:23 and also natural therapies, 16:26 massage, hydrotherapy, and so forth. 16:29 But we also teach them about the Bible. 16:33 We teach them how to do evangelistic campaigns, 16:35 how to work with small groups, 16:38 and we teach them 16:39 how to speak in public and so forth, 16:43 all kind of things. 16:44 My question for you, I mean, out of many. 16:48 Do I have to be a member 16:50 of the Seventh-day Adventist Church 16:52 to take part in your ministry, CMS? 16:56 Or is this open to whoever wants to? 16:58 Yes, we have had people 17:00 that are not Seventh-day Adventist, 17:02 but they wanna serve the Lord, they wanna come. 17:04 In fact, we have had a number of them 17:06 they got baptized 17:07 after they've taken the training program. 17:11 We're open for those who wants to serve the Lord, 17:14 they could come. 17:15 Amen. 17:17 Give us an idea of the training that you do, 17:19 because you do many types of training. 17:20 We've talked about gardening, medical missionary work, 17:23 you also talked about Bible, you're teaching the Bible, 17:27 you're also teaching how to do public speaking, 17:29 many different aspects of ministry. 17:31 What is the amount of time 17:33 for some of these trainings that you do there? 17:35 Okay, the training we have, 17:37 our training program 17:39 for the health missionary coaches 17:40 is one year. 17:42 And, you know, six months are very intensive. 17:46 And the other six months they go out 17:49 and do some practicing in different places. 17:52 But we do a half day, 17:56 practical work and the other half the classes. 18:00 Okay, so you do hands-on. 18:02 Yes. 18:03 And we every day, 18:05 everybody have an hour to be in the agriculture. 18:08 It's a very nice environment to be able to learn from nature 18:13 and also to learn in class. 18:15 That's right. Very good. 18:17 Now, we're living in these times. 18:21 Now we say this is very important. 18:23 And more and more illnesses are coming up on the humanity, 18:29 the human race, 18:30 and there are different ways of treating these some. 18:34 Of course, this is not a medical consultation. 18:38 First of all, I don't want people to think, 18:40 "Oh, I'm gonna do what Idalia says," 18:42 you know, consult your doctor. 18:44 But there are ways 18:45 that the Lord has provided for us 18:49 to be ready for the times that we're living in now. 18:53 Be it such as a virus or a cold 18:55 or I don't know what other ailments 18:59 have gotten to your ministry. 19:00 Yes. 19:02 And, you know, right now, 19:04 people are really concerned about their immune system. 19:07 Yes. 19:09 And when you start having good exercises, 19:13 when you start eating well, when you have proper rest, 19:17 when you are doing exercise in the sound light, 19:20 when you are being temperance, 19:22 when you're following God's principles 19:25 for our lifestyle, 19:26 then our immune system goes up. 19:28 Amen. 19:29 And it's just the way that He made us 19:31 and He created us with these laws 19:34 so for our own good. 19:36 That's right. 19:37 It's only God's mercy when we see all these venues 19:40 when we see, 19:42 we can see God's love in all of that. 19:45 But unfortunately we are, we have enemy we have, 19:50 you know, evil that is trying to lead the people 19:56 not to do exercise, 19:58 not eating well, to be intemperance, 20:03 to not trust in God, 20:05 and all these things are getting people in, 20:09 are setting them up to obtain any virus 20:12 or any other illness. 20:14 So I think that God's message for the last days 20:17 is something 20:18 that is providentially made for our life, 20:22 but especially in the last time 20:24 when we see all what's going on right now. 20:26 Yes, definitely, our lifestyle does contribute to our health. 20:32 So healthy lifestyle, healthy bodies, right? 20:35 That's right. 20:36 So we deal with many people deal, 20:38 I don't deal with high blood pressure, 20:40 but I know that people deal 20:41 with high blood pressure, diabetes, 20:43 and those are the most common ones, 20:44 cancer, and all these things, so. 20:48 Yes, and I wanna also share with you 20:50 that our students when they come there, 20:52 we have emotional training 20:55 where, you know, we have some tests 20:58 to help us healing, 21:01 different emotional problems that we might be carrying 21:05 from our childhood or from whatever. 21:08 So that's a great part, also on this lifestyle, 21:13 to have a very good mental health. 21:17 That's right. 21:18 So not only are they learning how to minister to others, 21:22 but they are ministered too there at CMS? 21:25 That's right. Okay. 21:26 That's right. 21:27 When they get there, 21:29 you know, they have some tests 21:30 that they have to be doing. 21:31 And we follow up with those tests to help them 21:33 because in there, when we first start, 21:36 we get a lot of young people, 21:38 and some of them have been abused. 21:41 Some of them have all kinds of mental issues. 21:43 Emotional. Yes. 21:45 Emotional issue, 21:46 and then they finish the training. 21:48 Here they go with unresolved issues. 21:52 And when God showed that to us, 21:57 so we immediately start doing something about it, 22:00 and we saw tremendous improvement. 22:02 That makes so much sense. Yes. 22:04 That is amazing. Praise the Lord. 22:06 Can you share a testimony, 22:09 maybe two about some of the experiences 22:11 you've had in this area, 22:13 maybe how people's lives have been transformed, 22:15 how they've been blessed what they have said? 22:17 Yes, we're gonna be sharing especially at the end, 22:21 one couple that is really is a very touchy experience. 22:27 But we have a number of experiences, John, 22:31 with the people that come. 22:33 And there was a student that he was abused, 22:38 he was abused by family members, 22:41 and his life was totally a mess. 22:46 He took our training, 22:48 and our training helped him to realize 22:52 that those scars can be healed. 22:56 I mean, those wounds could be healed. 22:59 And he started having, he relate his problems. 23:06 He was able to connect with Christ sufferings. 23:11 And when he connected 23:13 his problems with Christ's sufferings, 23:16 a healing start coming up in their lives. 23:20 And this specifically person, after he finished the training, 23:24 he was so changed that he said, "I wanna become a pastor, " 23:29 and he took theology in Montemorelos University, 23:32 and he became a pastor. 23:34 So we can, we can see how God can change a life 23:39 just with simple means and get them in routed 23:42 in what God has meant for them. 23:45 That's right. Praise the Lord. 23:46 A lot of people are suffering of depression, 23:49 and a lot of emotional baggage, right? 23:53 Yes, emotional baggage. Yes. 23:54 And sometimes we don't know how to deal with them. 23:57 So you in turn, 23:59 what you do the same program 24:01 that you offer your different guests, 24:04 you put your students through the same treatment, 24:07 so they see how it gradually brings you 24:11 out of the situation you came in. 24:12 Yes. 24:14 And it doesn't matter 24:15 how long they've been in the church. 24:16 That's right. 24:18 Unfortunately, the church does not address 24:20 this issue from their front... 24:23 We're not equipped. 24:24 That people are hiding, 24:26 they have these problems because they're so personal, 24:31 and they don't hear like who could help them. 24:36 So they are quiet in their kind of, 24:39 you know, struggling with this inwards. 24:42 So, these people 24:44 even if they've been in the church for a long time, 24:47 a lot of them are dealing with emotional issues. 24:51 That's right. 24:53 Tremendous. 24:54 Can you give us a little more 24:55 on how God is expanding the work of CMS? 25:00 Yes, and I would like to share, 25:03 you know, not only with the students 25:05 that have come and go out and spending the work, 25:09 but also we wanna share a video and if we could, 25:15 we have a video 25:17 and the first part of this video 25:19 is gonna be showing us 25:23 how God is really expanding the work. 25:25 And if we could see that at this time 25:29 we will gonna be seeing 25:30 how is God actually expanding this work? 25:33 Marvelous. 25:34 Let's go to that video right now. 25:39 "Vida Campesetre Saludable" 25:41 is a program specialized in hosting people 25:43 who want to change their lifestyle 25:45 or improve their physical condition 25:47 from any discomfort. 25:49 It is surrounded 25:50 by a beautiful natural environment 25:52 inside the missionary health center 25:54 in Galeana, Mexico. 25:56 During your stay, you can enjoy 25:58 different recreational activities, 26:00 exercise, hydrotherapy massages, 26:03 and know the health principles about nutrition and lifestyle. 26:08 This center provides a pleasant environment 26:11 in communion with the Almighty that contributes to the mental, 26:14 physical and spiritual health. 26:16 There is a close link between the physical health, 26:19 the emotions and the spirituality of people. 26:23 Thanks to the vast experience 26:24 of the Vida Campesetre Saludable program with guests. 26:27 It has been stated 26:29 that the purification of the body 26:30 can lead to full restoration of individuals and families. 26:34 Many people 26:36 have already regained their health, 26:38 make the change 26:39 and enjoy the benefits of a better lifestyle. 26:43 Diseases can be prevented by changing the lifestyle 26:46 and using the natural remedies set by God. 26:50 The missionary health center has been training young people 26:53 for more than 25 years, 26:55 so they can help others to prevent illnesses 26:58 and improve their lifestyle. 27:00 More than 1,500 students from Latin America and USA 27:04 have been admitted to the program. 27:06 More than 200 courses have been taught 27:09 in more than 50 communities around Mexico and Latin America 27:13 have been impacted. 27:16 Amen. Amen. Amen. 27:18 So you can see 27:19 how many communities have been impacted. 27:21 How many students have been trained, 27:24 and how many people also are coming together 27:26 recovering their health. 27:29 So that's, you know, what? 27:31 Can you imagine, 27:33 if more families start getting involved 27:37 in full time ministry, 27:39 even if they do something rather small, 27:42 it doesn't matter if this is small or large, 27:44 as long as we be doing Christ's work. 27:49 You know, Christ's work was characterized by preaching, 27:52 teaching, 27:53 and also working in the healing of the people. 27:56 And if we do that, even on a small scale, 28:00 even a personal, one person, 28:03 I mean, we're, 28:04 that's what God wants us to be involved 28:06 in the work that He did. 28:08 So that's why we... 28:10 Well, that's what we are all about it. 28:12 And we also got a book out. 28:16 This is a book that he talks about 28:18 how a family can start their own ministry. 28:23 Okay, how can they organize it? 28:26 How can they get prepared for it? 28:28 How can they have their income generator 28:32 for the ministry? 28:34 And how can also they get training? 28:38 And so this is a very simple book 28:42 that helps these families to get trained. 28:46 In fact, this is one of our textbooks 28:49 that we used there for. 28:50 Textbook? Great. 28:52 Excellent, very good. 28:54 So more than 1,500 students have gone through the training? 28:57 Yes. 28:59 And so, when we think about 1,500 students 29:03 going out to different places, 29:04 we have no idea how many lives and families 29:08 they have impacted through the grace of the Lord 29:10 and through the training they have received. 29:12 So the training is very important. 29:15 What are the steps that you recommend now? 29:18 We're gonna talk 29:19 maybe a little bit about this later, 29:21 but what are some of the steps 29:22 that you would recommend for families 29:24 that are listening right now to evaluate 29:28 about taking training like this? 29:29 Before you get to that question, 29:31 can he say the title of a book, 29:34 I didn't hear the name of the book. 29:36 We saw the picture of it. It says, Family... 29:38 Outreach and Evangelism. 29:40 Outreach and Evangelism by Jaime Espinal. 29:43 Managing family run ministries, centers of influence. 29:48 And we, very well, we have the 3ABN Radio family as well. 29:53 So they could hear the name of your book, 29:57 "Family Outreach and Evangelism, " 30:00 is a workbook that you use 30:02 with your students there as well. 30:04 Yes. 30:05 And people who have obtained this book by mail, 30:08 even though they don't come to our place, 30:10 they get benefit by having this little book 30:13 and help them with some guidelines. 30:16 Very good. 30:18 So then going back to the question, 30:20 what are some of the steps 30:22 that family they're listening right now, 30:24 they can take to consider taking training like this? 30:28 Okay. 30:29 One of the things that we have here in the book, 30:32 one of the things we'll be getting the book 30:34 to take a look at it. 30:36 And the first issue that we deal with right here 30:40 is how our family relationships, 30:43 and family relationships could help us to see how we, 30:47 how ready we are 30:49 to get involved in full ministry or not, 30:51 maybe we just have to work in as a family for a bit, 30:56 or for longer time, because that is very crucial. 31:01 You don't wanna force anybody in the family to get involved. 31:06 So there is a work that needs to be done 31:09 in within the family relationships 31:12 and goals and so forth, you know. 31:14 But once the family is convinced, 31:16 you know, we have right now 31:18 a couple of families that wants to come 31:20 from the States from Georgia 31:22 and from another places to come and take the training. 31:25 And they wanna come and have the training, 31:30 and they want to start their own ministry. 31:33 And what we recommend to those families 31:36 that already have come to that point 31:38 where, yes, we want to be full time in ministry. 31:42 What we want to recommend to them 31:44 is to go to an established ministry 31:48 and spend some time there. 31:49 Serve there, yes. 31:51 And that will help them a whole lot. 31:54 It'd save them too many pains later on. 31:56 And a lot of headaches. 31:57 Yes, and they start on their own 32:00 without being exposed to this firsthand 32:04 is a big difference. 32:08 So I will recommend to those families 32:10 that already come to the point where they say, 32:12 "Hey, we want to get involved." 32:14 Well try to search, 32:16 what ministries 32:18 you might be able to volunteer to 32:22 or to be trained at. 32:25 And, you know, and one of the places 32:28 where they can also check, 32:29 there is a ministry there is called OCI, 32:32 Outpost Centers International. 32:34 And they can go in there 32:36 and you can see ministries from over 60 countries 32:41 where they're members of all over the world. 32:45 And you can see about near 200 ministries there. 32:48 And so, that's something that very helpful as well. 32:52 Very good. 32:54 Now, one of the questions in the minds 32:57 of those listening and watching is at CMS in Mexico, 33:03 what language is the training provided? 33:05 It's in Spanish. 33:06 It's in Spanish? Yeah. 33:08 Right there it's in Spanish, 33:09 although we take people in English 33:11 for the lifestyle program. 33:13 Okay. 33:15 For the lifestyle program, 33:16 we do take people there speaking only English. 33:18 Okay. Very good. 33:21 So this, that God is blessing this work. 33:23 God is expanding the work. 33:25 And you see an urgent, I'm gonna say urgent, 33:28 urgent need for families to get involved in ministry 33:32 like we've been talking about. 33:34 Yes. And definitely. 33:36 And then another way that I wanna share 33:39 how God is spending the work 33:41 is we see a great need of in Colombia. 33:45 In Colombia, although there are 33:46 some different ministries there, 33:48 there are hardly any 33:50 that train families or full time ministers. 33:53 And so we have families from there 33:55 that wants to come to Mexico, 33:56 but the expenses are quite a challenge. 34:01 So I would like to share with you 34:05 the rest of this project to start and expansion, 34:09 CMS expansion in Colombia. 34:12 And we can see this in the rest of the video. 34:16 Okay. Very good. 34:18 So now we're gonna see the second part of the video 34:20 and how the work is expanding for Colombia. 34:25 "Vida Campesetre Saludable" 34:26 is also planted to provide these services 34:29 in Antioquia, Colombia, 34:30 which is the department 34:32 with the greatest number of municipalities 34:34 in this country. 34:36 This region with almost 7 million inhabitants 34:40 lack services like the ones 34:41 provided by Vida Campesetre Saludable. 34:46 Medellin, its capital 34:48 is a downtown area with more than 2,500,000 people 34:52 and is located in the center of valley Aburra. 34:56 A region with about 4 million citizens 34:59 living with have high levels of pollution 35:01 as well as social and work stress, 35:04 who might benefit 35:05 from Vida Campesetre Saludable program. 35:12 In addition, the well known Antioquia's east 35:14 is place there conformed by 23 municipalities 35:18 and a population of about 700,000 inhabitants. 35:23 Among those municipalities, we have Rionegro, 35:30 Marinilla, 35:33 El Santuario, 35:36 Guatape, 35:39 San Rafael, among others. 35:43 It is exactly in Antioquia's east 35:45 where Vida Campesetre Saludable is intended to be settled. 35:54 Tax deductible receipts will be issued. 35:58 We invite you to visit our website 36:00 where you can contribute directly to this cause 36:03 that aims to help Antioquia's community 36:05 achieve a healthy lifestyle. 36:11 For further information or questions, 36:14 don't hesitate to contact us. 36:31 Very good. 36:32 You've seen the nearby cities where this center 36:37 will more than likely have access to all those people. 36:40 But I imagine that as word gets out, 36:44 people not only from all over Colombia, 36:46 but other countries as well will want to come 36:49 to this new place for CMS. 36:52 And so, the news needs to get out. 36:55 So this is a project that's forthcoming. 36:57 And it's already many things have already gone on. 37:00 Tell us more? 37:01 Yes, right now, we have a person 37:04 who came from this area 37:06 to take care of training in Mexico. 37:07 Now he is back in there 37:09 wanting to support and get this going. 37:13 And also, and our family also, they're there. 37:17 And you know, the local community, 37:21 the government and the county, 37:23 they are wanting us to be to come over there 37:27 to help them with programs 37:30 of to boost their immune system. 37:33 And, in fact, right now, 37:36 we are gonna start in the near future 37:40 via WhatsApp 37:42 because they cannot have gatherings up 37:45 to help with the community. 37:46 So we're gonna be working from the cell phone 37:48 trying to help the community in there. 37:51 And also, we have a provisional place 37:56 where we're gonna be starting holding sessions, 37:59 starting February, 2021. 38:04 And we're gonna be doing this every month 38:07 in this place 38:09 until we are able to achieve a larger property. 38:15 So we can do the full program there. 38:17 Yes. 38:18 Very good. Very good. 38:20 So funds are needed to establish a place, 38:24 right now you don't own a place. 38:27 And so, a lot of work needs to be done still, 38:30 but it is already moving. 38:32 Yes, it is. 38:33 It is and not only that there are people 38:36 they have been affected 38:37 because of the COVID financially. 38:40 And we were able to gather some funds 38:43 to help these people with food for basic needs. 38:49 And so they are already inside there 38:54 and doing this work. 38:56 You know, they're bringing relief 38:58 and help and guidance to the community. 39:02 In fact, some people have already baptized, 39:05 had become baptized already 39:07 as the result of the preliminary work 39:10 that is being done during these 2020. 39:14 Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. 39:16 Yes. And I'm glad to hear that. 39:18 You know, some people have been wondering 39:20 about people getting baptized during the time of COVID. 39:23 And I have seen many baptisms already take place 39:26 during the COVID. 39:28 Yes, of course, the person baptizing 39:29 is wearing the mask 39:31 and the person that's going under water 39:32 is not, but it's possible. 39:35 So if you want to get baptized, 39:36 contact the pastor to make arrangements for this. 39:39 But you are, you have already seen 39:41 some of these happened. 39:42 Oh, yeah. 39:44 Over 11 people have been baptized, 39:45 as the work they're doing, 39:47 you know, helping with them 39:48 with the healthy lifestyle guidance 39:51 and in holding Bible studies. 39:54 And so it's a wonderful. Amen. 39:57 So we see God leading out. 39:59 Also the conference president of the church, 40:02 the local conference president is very excited 40:04 about the work that is being done. 40:06 And he want us to get in there right away. 40:11 So we're praying that God will open the ways. 40:14 Amen. 40:15 So we might be able to duplicate the work 40:17 that has been done in Mexico now to be done in Colombia. 40:21 And, you know, we know 40:23 that things needs to happen rapidly, 40:26 because the Lord is coming soon, 40:29 the time is short. 40:31 That's right. 40:32 And very soon, maybe the money 40:34 is not going to be worth anything 40:35 or, you know, so if we are to do something, 40:38 we might as well do something now. 40:40 Do it now. That's right. 40:41 Very good. 40:42 What I could appreciate about the video 40:44 that you shared with us of Colombia. 40:47 We love going to Colombia, 40:48 it's an amazing country and the culture, 40:52 it's very rich culture. 40:54 But I can tell that the land is very fertile. 40:58 Yes. 40:59 So it would be an excellent place 41:01 to have another lifestyle center, 41:04 like CMS, the expansion into Colombia, 41:07 and if you at home are capable of donating any size, 41:12 as you know, we will be sharing 41:14 the contact information for CMS Ministry, 41:17 so you can be involved. 41:19 And sometimes we can't travel to the countries, 41:23 but we can contribute with our prayers 41:25 and financial support. 41:27 So get ready to write or grab your phone 41:29 like I've been doing lately. 41:31 You grab your phone and take a picture 41:32 of the information that's on the screen, 41:36 or and you can record as we share 41:39 the contact information. 41:41 That's right. 41:42 Now we do have a testimony that you have for us 41:45 in our Juan Carlos and Malu. 41:48 And he's got five more pictures too. 41:49 Five more pictures. 41:50 Yes, we have Juan Carlos and Malu, 41:56 they were in a very heavy drug addiction. 42:01 They were being involved 42:02 in a drug addiction for 11 years. 42:06 Having a free union living together, not marrying, 42:09 but having one child 42:11 and poor child in that environment. 42:14 All their family wanted to help them out. 42:17 And they did different attempts, 42:20 none result. 42:22 And they gave up on them. 42:24 And, but there was a relative of Juan Carlos, 42:28 who hear about CMS, 42:30 and she move everywhere 42:34 in order to have them come into our place. 42:37 And they arrived there. 42:39 They arrived and when they came and they start learning. 42:44 They start learning God's principles. 42:47 And they start 42:49 hearing the Holy Spirit working in them. 42:52 And very soon, after a couple months 42:55 of being there receiving these therapies, 43:00 they realized that they needed to be married. 43:03 Because they realize, and we helped them. 43:07 Oh! Look at that. 43:09 It's beautiful. 43:10 She never dreamed 43:14 he will see her husband dressed up like this. 43:17 The little girl have new parents. 43:20 Beautiful. Praise the Lord. 43:21 And it was amazing. 43:23 So very soon after they got married, 43:26 they realized that the God was working in their lives, 43:30 and now that they need to surrender 43:32 their lives to God. 43:33 So they both got baptized. 43:36 They got baptized, you can see there, 43:39 you know, they got baptized. 43:40 And after being baptized, they say, 43:43 "Well, what are we going to be doing now? 43:45 Yeah, we're married. 43:47 Now we're baptized in the Lord. 43:48 And we feel we're in a training center 43:51 to become missionaries." 43:53 So they apply. 43:55 Being inside there, 43:56 they fill up an application and say, 43:58 "We want to become a medical missionaries 44:00 and working full time as a family for the Lord. 44:03 Wow! 44:04 And, so they took their training. 44:07 And we can see them, you know, in the agriculture, 44:10 they took everything. 44:12 They learn how to cook, how to bake bread, 44:16 and he became a good baker. 44:18 Wow! Look at that. 44:20 Yeah, he became a good baker. 44:21 And then when they finished and they, 44:24 he became a Sabbath School teacher, 44:27 he started working 44:29 and opening a small group in a little town, 44:32 and then they finished their training. 44:35 And now they right now, they have their own bakery. 44:39 They're working for the Lord. 44:41 They have another child now and it's amazing, 44:46 it's a totally different family. 44:49 Total transformation. 44:51 They are working now for the Lord 44:54 instead of working for the devil, 44:56 and this family didn't came there 45:00 to start a ministry. 45:03 They came there because they needed help. 45:06 And that's what our country, 45:09 healthy country life program does. 45:11 You know, the lifestyle program 45:13 started helping these people to recovery 45:17 and to and to see God's goodness 45:20 and to start making the different choices 45:22 in their life. 45:23 That is wonderful. It's so encouraging. 45:26 I had to write something that came to me 45:30 was the sponsorship. 45:32 Is there such a way that maybe our viewers 45:35 would like to contribute 45:37 to sponsor such people like them? 45:41 You know that perhaps don't have them, 45:43 don't have the means? 45:44 Yes, thank you for bringing that point. 45:46 If you would like to help these people, 45:48 there are many ways as we have mentioned 45:50 with this Colombian project, 45:52 but also, we have students 45:54 that they don't have means, their families. 45:57 So a sponsorship, 45:59 it will be great for them to come and get the training. 46:02 But not only that, 46:03 there are families that they already finished 46:06 their training, 46:07 they are ready to work, 46:09 but they don't have a place where to work. 46:12 They don't have a place where to work yet. 46:16 And so if we can help them 46:19 where having a small piece of property 46:22 somewhere or helping them to get going, 46:24 these families are trained, 46:26 and they're ready to start a center of influence, 46:29 and they are ready to start training people 46:32 to work for the Lord. 46:33 Amen. Amen. 46:35 You know, this testimony brought me 46:37 to our scripture reading for this hour. 46:40 Job 22:21, remember, Jaime? 46:43 Well, maybe someone has joined us 46:46 and didn't hear that text. 46:47 Can you read it again? You have it. 46:49 Yes, I have it right here, of course. 46:50 But it says, "Now acquaint yourself with him 46:54 and be at peace, 46:56 thereby goodwill will come to you." 46:59 And these guests that you've had at CMS, 47:03 they have gotten acquainted with Him. 47:05 You've helped them learn 47:08 about Him so they can get acquainted with Him, 47:11 have received that peace that passes all understanding, 47:14 the peace that the world cannot give, 47:16 but only through God. 47:18 And now, here they are, 47:20 they're receiving the good 47:23 that the Lord has said that will come to them. 47:26 Yes, we cannot have a better Bible text 47:29 about what we're talking. 47:31 So providentially, you know, again, came up with that. 47:34 But, you know, one thing that give us rest 47:38 in the work that God has called us to do 47:40 is that He is the one who does the work. 47:42 That's right. 47:43 And the people come there, and we're relaxed, we sleep, 47:47 and we don't have, we're not worried. 47:50 We know that God is working. 47:52 If we have a student, if we have a family, 47:54 if we have somebody in our lifestyle program, 47:57 we know the Holy Spirit is at work. 47:59 We know that God is working. 48:01 And if anything good happened, we know that God did it. 48:05 So we're very confident on God bringing people there 48:10 for their own glory. 48:12 Yes, amen. 48:13 You know, one of the things that God has instructed us 48:19 is the need for families to get out into the country. 48:24 And I remember, Idalia, 48:26 that when I used to live in Chicago, 48:28 that when the camp meeting time would come 48:31 and we would leave Chicago 48:34 and go to where Broadview Academy 48:37 was here in Illinois. 48:38 It was out in the country 48:39 and the short time that we were there, 48:41 just, you know, sometimes we just arrived 48:44 for Saturday, stay there all day. 48:46 Just being in the atmosphere is refreshing. 48:50 Not only brings you an invigorating health, 48:54 but also spiritually, 48:55 it's like your mind opens up 48:58 for communion with the Lord. 49:00 And CMS is located in a place 49:03 that's surrounded by hills and vegetation, 49:07 away from the hustle and bustle of life and stress. 49:11 And the atmosphere is good for people 49:13 to receive this training. 49:14 The one in Mexico? The one in Mexico. 49:15 The one in Colombia... The one in Colombia. 49:17 We're needing people to catch the vision. 49:21 Yes. And join in this mission. 49:23 Yes. While there is time still. 49:25 Yes, definitely. 49:27 So how can people get involved? 49:29 What are some more ways that people can get involved? 49:31 Well, one of the ways that we ask people 49:35 to get involved with is with prayer. 49:39 You know, prayer is powerful. 49:40 Amen. 49:41 And if somebody will take these ministries 49:45 and these programs in their own daily prayers, 49:49 that's going to be such a blessing. 49:52 But also there is needs, 49:56 you know, over there where they can help financially 50:00 or coming down also, in visiting us, 50:04 or sharing with other families 50:06 that might be good potential to start a family ministry, 50:12 to getting the word out, that will be another, you know. 50:15 Then we have a newsletter, 50:18 that for those that would like to receive it, 50:20 we have electronic and physical newsletter 50:24 for those that would like to receive, 50:26 and they can write to us to our address, 50:29 and we'd be glad to send it to them. 50:31 And they can find out more 50:33 about how they can involve in it. 50:36 Amen. Very good. 50:37 There are so many opportunities. 50:40 And the Lord has presented this wonderful opportunity 50:43 to not only support the ministry 50:46 in Mexico, but also Colombia. 50:48 And it's a blessing to see how the Lord just blesses 50:52 and multiplies your ministry, 50:54 and one touch one group in one country, 50:58 and you have so many students 51:00 and willing families that are willing to make 51:02 a difference in other people's lives 51:04 through that natural lifestyle centers. 51:08 That's right. 51:09 And so, I hope you are ready to copy down the information 51:12 because we're about to send it to you. 51:14 And so, how about you, your family? 51:17 What are you doing for Christ? 51:19 What are you doing to reach others for Jesus? 51:22 This is an opportunity that the Lord has 51:25 that you can get involved, 51:26 you and your family can get involved 51:28 in many other ways that you have heard. 51:31 What you will do 51:32 depends on what you choose to do 51:34 through God's grace. 51:35 So right now we're going to share with you 51:37 the contact information for CMS Ministry, 51:40 and then we're going to have 51:42 some news from your 3ABN family, 51:44 and then we'll return to conclude this program. 51:47 We'll see you in a moment. 51:50 For more information about CMS Inc., 51:53 please contact them at CmsMex.com. 51:57 That's CmsMex.com. 52:01 Their email address is Info@CmsMex.com. 52:05 That's Info@CmsMex.com. 52:09 Their mailing address is 116 52:12 East Coma Avenue number 295, 52:15 Hidalgo, Texas 78557. 52:19 That's 116 East Coma Avenue 52:22 number 295, Hidalgo, Texas 78557. |
