So the 30:41 training, what does that look like? How are people trained? 30:43 What were they trained in? 30:45 >> Well, first, what we do is we inspired the touch, 30:48 inspired him to be involved in the work of the pain, just a 30:51 light to do. And once they catch division, I mean, they 30:54 know when to be part of it. And so what we do is we train 30:57 them and psychosis event to this, how to throw in a normal 31:00 conversation into spiritual conversation, practical things. 31:04 You know, people when they get a haircut, right, when you go 31:07 to start, you're going to talk to somebody, write a line that 31:10 the conversation, a normal conversation into spiritual 31:14 conversation and with the tiny leave, you'll be able to give 31:17 attract prey or even offer them a bible study. And so that's 31:20 what we try to do, inspiring our young people to gain a 31:25 bibles interest, even. 31:27 >> In public toilets. Wow, that's amazing. 31:31 >> Are are John Hopper President Alan Wilson preached 31:35 in Prague? 31:36 The church? There are some of the leaders were really excited 31:39 about relieve Angeles team up there. And so I talked to him 31:42 and talk to them. And finally, I I worked out and we thought 31:46 it couldn't work. And then Doctor Jan had some friends 31:49 there who called the union president is that we want them 31:52 to come this weekend, the train. 31:54 And so because the church members, the young people and 31:57 that and that area wanted doctor Jenn to come, he he 32:01 okayed it and that change that whole climate. Wow. When I was 32:05 there a couple weeks later during a tense out Wilson's 32:08 meetings, one of the elders came up to me at the church and 32:14 said 32:15 as myself, I talked to my son to the doctor, Jan coming 32:18 training, young people. 32:20 He lit it on fire. He said 32:22 >> him again. Haha. 32:25 >> I know that was really young people there. It was just 32:28 America how that worked out a bit. And it just wow. 32:32 >> So the young people got on fire and then that changed 32:35 actually the minds of the church leadership even though 32:37 he was. 32:39 >> Now you see the thing is that the church saw the young 32:40 people involved. They set of boots in the heart of the city 32:46 as we call them the mission outpost. And but it's really an 32:49 outreach outposts. And since we're not allowed to knock on 32:53 doors, so we decided, OK, we're going to do something 32:56 different, have a table in the city and just bring books the 33:00 air and dialogue with people and just be what they are at 33:04 and converse with them, listen to them and pray for them. 33:07 And those tissue, one young man. I mean, he was in this 33:11 piece. 33:13 >> And that young haha. 33:19 >> And he got so excited upon hearing what we're doing and 33:23 seeing. And he came to elder Wilson has made the nightly 33:26 and he's interested in Bible studies and without even being 33:30 a bit part of the church. He made himself part of the 33:34 church. He came to the booth, the people and the center and 33:38 started helping us out. And with that with people coming to 33:41 the people interested in in reading books, he would direct 33:45 them. 33:46 And it's interesting. We have so many books on the people and 33:49 people with calm one book. One book. 33:53 It's called the Great controversy. What the Mueller 33:55 just some of that except me, you know, just drawn to that 33:59 book. And I when I asked the people, young people is so 34:03 which book what's most given during this time? And they told 34:06 me some great controversy. Now was that Justin check of 34:09 our report just in that product on the heart, we talk about 34:13 places to. But that's, you know, that wasn't great 34:15 controversy and other places throughout Europe or was that 34:17 specifically? And this was a specific. We also did it in 34:20 Brussels. Okay. Yeah. But in in in Prague, this was in 34:23 preparation for elder was this man and that other one says 34:26 meeting he had about 20 to 30 guests nightly from out there 34:32 coming to the meetings. Wow. And so we've been really 34:36 blessed seeing young people on fire for Jesus. And when 34:40 they're on fire, I am telling you 34:42 they're unstoppable force. Yes, I'm with, you know, 34:46 with such an army. He's such a slight lead. Rightly tree help 34:51 with the board right now. Train. Yes, right. And that's 34:55 what we're all about.

So when he and his wife, they stood face to them. 38:17 They came to the article and he told me this was from his own 38:21 lips. Now I know why I had to be here now. And so this is the 38:26 prime minister. And he said, you know, let us know how we 38:29 can help the so called him about PNG and God is putting 38:33 all the pieces together 38:34 preparing the way a man and much is being done behind the 38:38 scenes, right? 38:39 >> I talk about this gospel of the kingdom should be free to 38:44 the world and God wants the gospel to go forward.

Here is the means at least one. 39:48 So it's just it's he's just an inspiration for all of us. 39:51 We work with the yeah. I'm and gotten. 39:54 >> So do we want to switch gears and talk about the work 39:57 in China? It is how we have a friend. 40:00 >> Who's working with us? And he's I won't name its name, 40:04 but he probably will become more and more connected with us 40:09 in the near future. I believe he just a great pastor. 40:14 So he and are he quietly studies with people. He 40:18 organized a baptism at his apartment 40:21 for the BAFTA in the bathtub. 40:23 Some of the authority heard about it 40:26 and they turn the water off to his apartment. 40:29 The department is made up a lot of different kinds of people. 40:33 They're not Christian, 40:34 but some of their French or non-Christian heard about it. 40:38 They brought their glasses full of water. They rock pictures 40:41 full of water. All these people. He water filled his 40:46 baptism. Alright, he's he's had his staff that his bathtub for 40:50 the Baptists tree. Haha. 40:52 And then there were 40:54 70 baptized was about to go 70 people back iced. 41:00 Isn't that something? 41:02 >> That God has a way. There is a way to work even goes forward 41:05 under duress and difficulty. I think we have a picture that 41:08 looks right at that up. That's us and credible blanked out 41:12 their faces. Blurred them out. Yeah. You protect their 41:15 identities, right? All right. This is the 70 yeah. 41:20 And they're all back because in the path of that. 41:22 >> How they did that. Haha. 41:26 >> So how does the work Ford in China because there's religious 41:30 persecution? So how did they go about doing that? 41:33 >> One on one very quietly. 41:35 We had training in Thailand here a few years ago. We 41:38 brought some of our leaders out and then we we actually took we 41:43 took a bunch of them. I think 40 of them. And how to Louis 41:46 Torres did with us. We with that group. You know, I came to 41:49 we want him to the Philippines to mend oral. Yeah, they they 41:53 all preach a series of meetings there and they went back then 41:56 it so they are the their out. You know, that's boots on the 41:58 ground. That's what the WRs 42:01 knocking doors and talking to people sharing their faith. 42:03 And that's where the Baptist coming. 42:05 >> And can you bring the God pods and in their China? 42:09 Yeah. Okay. We produce them in China. 42:11 >> I t's not. Yeah. How many languages or the gotten? 42:16 You know? 42:17 Why did yeah. Haha making any link up. 42:24 >> We now know we have we have and it's fun. You know, we were 42:28 given to Ukrainian soldiers. You see that and we have the 42:30 Russian soldiers, too. So we don't think we're doing the 42:33 same thing and Ashraf 42:35 just because you know what? Talk about that a bit. But we 42:37 have a there's a center at by to see it of Cali, but beer, 42:42 yes, and yet have areas up to 1000 COD college and they're 42:46 going to and Hebrew and also in Arabic and was given to 42:51 soldiers. 42:52 >> And the unique things of that also has all the van to 42:54 the 6 series and the spirit of prophecy 42:58 can a sermon by sermons that 43:01 and this is funny with the errands, 43:04 the men will listen to my sermons. They won't listen the 43:06 county's. Yeah. 43:08 >> But the ladies, what what they want to you know, there's 43:12 truth in that we just heard from a Muslim woman who called 43:15 an issue that I've been listening to 2 43:17 as far as I'm Trina. And so, you know, it's that connection 43:20 with the woman we're going to add. So does the Lord, you 43:22 know? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. He does a great job. Yeah, 43:26 he sure does. Absolutely. 43:29 So. Talk about the radio stations. What's going on with 43:31 that coming up? Well, 43:34 >> we've got to be challenging. We haven't mentioned. They're 43:37 not chose this name and he's figured out how you can take a 43:39 computer. And that is amazing. And that to happen. It just 43:44 connected to the Internet. And he's a special program. 43:46 He has written himself. He writes Programs, he's he's a 43:50 genius software engineer, type of. And so you can be anywhere 43:56 anywhere. But nowhere. 43:58 >> Broadcast controlled us to the haha. And so our goal of 44:04 this next year is to have 100 new 100 new stations 100 new 44:09 language. Us with 100 new languages. Yeah. 44:13 >> But think about it. There are 300 languages in China 44:15 alone. There are 255. I think it is an DRC. And the fact that 44:22 we we we live 10 years, there's mission are OK and the 44:24 reflection of the condo want to put a center there in Kinshasa 44:27 into started working on that, 44:29 that we can have the studio's anywhere and ended Regis. 44:35 There's a Bible. You can get this an audio by boys at Comet 44:39 AISD this and I think 2000 language us so we can use that 44:44 we can use easy weekend. 44:46 And so as we you don't have to be 24 7 to have a radio 44:50 station. You can look, yes, 6 hours a day or 3 yards a day or 44:54 whatever off that computer and the computer one can keep 44:57 computer can run 30. 40 44:59 language is the same time they can. Really? Yeah. How does 45:03 that even work? I do have any idea. 45:05 >> Have any idea either you can run back to Atlanta where the 45:10 new software? Yeah. Praise the Lord for the engineer. Yeah, 45:14 you know, I know. Yeah. It's just a and a. 45:17 >> Got it. Just given us that. Yes, we have a goal to do 100 45:20 new ones by this next year and the next 12 months. 45:24 >> Does it feel overwhelming? Sometimes the need so great. 45:27 So I lay in bed sometimes and think about how we're going to 45:30 have to act on like because the morning causing friends around 45:34 the world. Okay. I guess we can do at Ahmadinejad. 45:39 >> Well, you know, they W R there's no limit, no walls, 45:43 no bull this year. So it's it's really the limit when it comes 45:47 to the spirit of God working. I mean, 45:50 not by might nor by power, but by his spirits and the thing 45:54 it's possible and then discovering that as I work for 45:58 a WR and travel to different places and that just one place, 46:03 I've just finished an event of this evening in in Austria, 46:06 home in Vienna. And it was this young person really 46:10 enthusiastic to have one of the his interests 46:15 who works at the gym him and he'll ask me any needed to 46:20 visit and we need to visit them and you can buy them to the 46:22 meeting. Spent 12. 46:25 I was on my way got ready and that I was going out the door. 46:29 I ran into the chair and 46:32 fractured my toe 46:34 come be done now, but encourages young person go lead 46:38 with this young person and in the way. So the person want to 46:41 play to the end and he's working to meet him. Know she 46:44 is. She just goes to the gym, goes to the gym and then 46:47 brought him to the meeting that night. 46:50 And he came down that he's, you know, he's tattooed all over 46:54 his some muscle builder. He is yes. 24 K followers on 46:57 social know how so he is quite an influencer. Wow. And so he 47:02 attended the meeting the first night. I thought, OK, what's he 47:05 doing here? You know, he must be interest that second 9th. 47:10 The subcontinent said the change in his confidence and 47:13 the 3rd night he told me some things happen. I don't know 47:16 whether this but something has happened. 47:19 The 4th day, 7th full day from 7 school divine worship, 47:24 potluck youth power, courtship, seminar, evangelistic meeting 47:29 in the evening. Not. 47:30 >> All day and you would leave. Wow. And 47:35 >> he said I want to study the Bible and he told me his 47:40 history, his family history and he's said I had nothing to. 47:43 I didn't want anything to do with religion. 47:46 I thought religions are just for stupid people or and now 47:50 here I am. 47:52 And so we offer though Bible and he says, no, no, I want to 47:55 buy one 47:56 really? Yes, he says, look, if you give me want to just lay 47:59 around, if I buy one, myself has value. You see the kind of 48:05 there's there's seriousness and yet this. And so he's now then 48:09 the church and having Bible studies. So just from this 48:12 meeting in Indiana, we had 10 young people getting their 48:15 license cheeses and they're being prepared for baptism now. 48:18 >> A man all that just happened last month has praise the Lord 48:24 and the young woman was faithful to go to the gym and 48:26 to invite him to accept what happened. And she 48:29 >> had that. But after listening to the mess up, 48:32 but after being in spite, 48:34 she didn't know exactly what to do, what she had the by the 48:37 yeah and up but then create that in. It's a Reese all of 48:43 studying and hearing the word of God through a man. You see 48:47 that. That's a transformation. The the the the sire. Once you 48:51 hear the word of God is what must I do. There are those 48:55 honors perishing. What can I do? And young people are 48:59 really, you know, one day, have a button, 49:04 do whatever it takes. I think, again, right? Spirit of God is 49:08 using the mightily for such a time as this. 49:11 >> How do you motivate young people? Because sometimes in 49:14 the church we can say young people want to be entertained. 49:18 We hear this do not turn young people. So how do you motivate 49:22 them to even we have a burden for souls or want to go out and 49:26 win the last. 49:27 >> I mean, how I do with a sheep simply share my life 49:31 without price. 49:32 So they get a picture. 49:34 That's how I do it. Your personal tax and personal 49:36 testimony and what happened in my life. When I met crisis, 49:42 the transformation, a man and 1 state that they can identify 49:46 with that. They said, look, you know what, 49:50 the same experience? Yes. And when they want the same 49:53 experience, they're willing to try out what you have to offer 49:58 because they know that you had to experience an encounter with 50:01 got and they want an encounter with God for themselves. 50:04 Do they not understand that their parents religion will not 50:08 get them through? Yes, 50:11 they understand that. They just don't know how 50:14 and that they W R We try to provide that opportunity. 50:18 Once you inspired, we look to quip you. That's right. We will 50:21 mobilize you up. And in this process up of mobilizing, 50:26 we're going to meant to you. Yeah, they're not left the and 50:29 very, very important and then inspire them. Exactly. Yeah. 50:33 Indeed. Inspired to continue to quit the and men to death. 50:36 >> Kathy and I have taken several 100. We've talked about 50:38 this before projects, you know, young people and others 50:41 overseas and they appreciate it. There's nothing so life 50:44 changing and you've done it. And Kathy hasn't and change our 50:50 lives. You know, every time it inspires us, we have had a 50:53 number. Many of these young people have gone and preach the 50:56 first time allies or change, come back home, 50:59 go to college professors and change their major become 51:03 pastures. We have a number that we know here in North America 51:06 who are pastors. Yeah, or inspired. And I think that's 51:09 what we have to. You know, sometimes we have 51:13 sometimes even people get on that. The kick, you know, 51:15 we just talked about and won't work here. Event does not do it 51:18 here and it is that club. Haha. Yeah. But if we can take 51:23 them and show them and get them to pretend they have success 51:26 and there's nothing like that. We're working with Andrews 51:29 University 51:31 and used to be when I went there and that's been the same 51:35 for many, many years that you have to go to the field of 51:38 evangelism before you can become a pastor. 51:44 You go and use it to you for the lectures and then you watch 51:49 a professional do a series of meetings. 51:53 But we did it different this year. Yeah, we took a number of 51:56 is that the reality major from the seminary to fulfill that 52:00 requirement? We took into Zambia. They all preach their 52:03 own media instead of watching someone how they deal comes out 52:07 and then they, you know, 52:09 my experience with us 52:11 and I've been around a long time have created fear. Thank 52:16 you. 52:17 My fear is what I was scared to death. I went to the church 52:20 when I went out. I didn't do me. I always had an evangelist 52:23 come in really until I did it myself. When St. Petersburg 52:27 Operation Bear Hugs, Bruce Josten took me. 52:30 He preached a series. They says you come back in 6, much snow 52:33 and up John Terry, we can't change my life, a man so that 52:38 that's what we need to do.
