00:01 Thank you very much.
00:03 Well, we are in the final moments of this program, 00:05 and we'd like to talk to both of you for a final comment. 00:09 We'll start with Dr. Santrac. 00:11 Yes. So I would like to make an appeal 00:15 by using the words of a beautiful poem 00:18 that we have in the encyclopedia. 00:20 The poem is called Miracles. 00:23 It was written by Alfonso Anderson 00:25 who was a missionary to Japan and the Philippines. 00:29 And the poem starts saying: 00:32 "I don't ask for a name or a niche in corridor of fame 00:37 nor for earthly laurels of glory. " 00:42 And you can read the entire poem in the encyclopedia. 00:46 But these words got me thinking 00:49 that indeed this encyclopedia 00:51 should not be treated as an Adventist Hall of Fame. 00:55 But if we truly want to honor the legacies 00:59 of our past missionaries and pioneers 01:02 we should allow these stories to inspire us 01:05 to continue mission work in faithfulness, in unity. 01:10 And that's the beauty of history 01:14 and all the lessons and all the inspiration 01:17 that we can receive. Amen! 01:19 And so people will find there articles about very famous 01:23 people and people they've never heard of. 01:24 Sometimes the people you've never heard of 01:26 are the most inspiring. So my appeal would be 01:28 to your viewers: go to the encyclopedia. 01:31 Use it. Use it as a basis for mission stories 01:34 in church... for children's stories in church. 01:36 Donate to us. There's a donate button on the web page 01:39 'cause we can use your support. 01:41 But also if you have an interest and expertise 01:46 we need volunteers to translate, 01:48 to write, to peer review. We need your help. 01:52 Ooh... thank you so much. Well, Idalia, the time is gone. 01:55 I was blessed. I was blessed, too. 01:57 Go to the SDA Encyclopedia. 01:59 Learn more; get inspired. We'll see you next time. |
