  Welcome to Network 7's Mission Sunlight Chat
• 0:11
  from the General Conference 2025 here in St.
• 0:14
  Louis, Missouri in the United States. We are
• 0:16
  in the Exhibit Hall on the road with you. And
• 0:19
  as you look around the Exhibit Hall, you can't
• 0:21
  help but wonder at all the hundreds of ministries
• 0:24
  and ministry support organizations that are out
• 0:27
  here sharing what we can do and what they have
• 0:30
  been doing to share Jesus' love with the world.
• 0:34
  It is a really special blessing for me to have
• 0:37
  Isabel Santos from CORE Evangelism Training.
• 0:40
  Is that the right way to say it? Yes, that's
• 0:42
  correct. With me. Isabel, I don't know you well,
• 0:45
  but I know the director of CORE. He's a good
• 0:47
  friend, Pastor D, Casper. And so I'm excited
• 0:50
  to hear what's happening at CORE, get an update
• 0:52
  on what's going on with the ministry that is
• 0:54
  very close to his heart and I'm sure close to
• 0:56
  yours as well. Yes. Before we get started, would
• 0:59
  you mind opening with a word of prayer for us?
• 1:02
  Sure, let's pray. Heavenly Father, Lord, I thank
• 1:04
  you so much for this time that you've given us
• 1:06
  to talk more about your work and your ministry.
• 1:10
  And Lord, the great privilege and honor that
• 1:11
  we have to be a part of it. Father, I thank you
• 1:15
  so much for this opportunity. And Lord, I just
• 1:17
  pray that you continue to inspire us and inspire
• 1:19
  your people all around the world to continue
• 1:22
  to share your word with others. Father, speak
• 1:24
  to us now as we speak is my prayer in Christ's
• 1:27
  name. Amen. Amen. Isabel, before we talk about
• 1:30
  CORE, tell me about you. What's your journey
• 1:33
  with Jesus, your youth, and how did you connect
• 1:35
  with him? That's a great question. So I was born
• 1:38
  into an Adventist family. We're originally from
• 1:40
  Brazil. Both my parents studied in Adventist
• 1:43
  universities. But it was when I turned seven
• 1:47
  that my parents moved to the U .S. and started
• 1:51
  working more directly in ministry. And it was
• 1:56
  a big lifestyle change for us. We started following
• 1:59
  more of the Spirit of Prophecy councils and actually
• 2:02
  studying the Bible a lot more. And so from there,
• 2:06
  I started to hear about all these mission opportunities.
• 2:09
  Like almost every Friday evening for Vespers,
• 2:11
  we would have someone from around the world come
• 2:13
  and share about their mission experience from
• 2:16
  a different country. as a kid I would kind of
• 2:19
  mark down some ministries and so from a very
• 2:21
  young age there was one specific ministry in
• 2:23
  Honduras I was like when I get older I'm gonna
• 2:25
  go to that ministry and I want to see what they're
• 2:26
  all about so as I continued to grow my parents
• 2:30
  moved back to Brazil and they helped fund and
• 2:33
  start a lifestyle center in hospital well not
• 2:37
  hospital it was a lifestyle center in a medical
• 2:39
  missionary training program okay so We moved
• 2:43
  there and that's where I started to actively
• 2:45
  work directly in missions. And so I was working
• 2:49
  with them in the Lifestyle Center at different
• 2:51
  capacities. And then we moved to a very remote
• 2:55
  area and there were no Adventists in that village.
• 2:59
  It was a village and we were far from the city,
• 3:02
  no Adventists. And so I also started working
• 3:05
  in evangelism and in outreach with the people
• 3:08
  there at that village. When you say no Adventists,
• 3:10
  really what you're saying is no Christians at
• 3:12
  all? No, no Adventists. There were Christians
• 3:15
  because Brazil is a Catholic country. And so
• 3:18
  there is a very strong Catholic presence in that
• 3:22
  community. And then there are some evangelicals
• 3:24
  as well in the community. But there was no Adventists
• 3:27
  at all. And so I started from a young age. You
• 3:31
  know, we'd go down, walk down four kilometers
• 3:33
  and we would start working with the community
• 3:37
  and reach out to the community. What were their
• 3:39
  needs? There were houses that didn't even have
• 3:41
  doors. that people just put linen to clothes
• 3:45
  off. And so we would help them with their necessities
• 3:47
  also in building and constructing their own homes,
• 3:50
  but also giving Bible studies as well. So you
• 3:53
  referenced when you were seven, you really started
• 3:56
  kind of pivoting toward your own journey with
• 3:59
  Jesus. Yes, I think that's when I realized more
• 4:03
  of what the Adventist message was. I think when
• 4:06
  I became a little bit more independent was later
• 4:08
  on when I started working more actively in missions.
• 4:12
  So that's what I'm interested in is your journey
• 4:15
  with Jesus. When he became real to you, he was
• 4:18
  no longer your parents' religion, but where he
• 4:23
  became part of your faith and integrated and
• 4:25
  assimilated with you. What I hear you saying
• 4:28
  is it was a journey over time. It was a process.
• 4:31
  It wasn't like this moment happened. It was more
• 4:34
  I got to know him because I sought him. And he
• 4:38
  sought me for sure. Oh, for sure. I think that
• 4:40
  was 100%. And working in missions, working with
• 4:45
  my parents, and then finally going on to work.
• 4:48
  On my own, I've seen the heart of God as he sought
• 4:51
  me through that and fulfilled my own desires
• 4:54
  through missions and then also showed me the
• 4:57
  bigger picture of what missions really is. Amen.
• 5:00
  And the truth is there's 8 billion people on
• 5:03
  the planet. He has a mission plan for every one
• 5:06
  of those 8 billion. We think of the secular sometimes
• 5:09
  as they're out there, but they're really part
• 5:11
  of God's plan. They just may not be submitting
• 5:14
  to God's plan. He has something for all of us.
• 5:18
  And I say that because we have a danger in evangelism,
• 5:21
  right, where we think we're different than others.
• 5:26
  And we are different when we found Jesus in our
• 5:29
  heart. But when he looks at us, he sees that
• 5:32
  we're all sinners at different levels, and his
• 5:34
  desire is for us to all be saved. And I think
• 5:38
  that's the most amazing part because I think
• 5:40
  to me when it clicked in a totally different
• 5:42
  perspective was when I realized that it wasn't
• 5:45
  the other people who needed my mission. I was
• 5:47
  the one who needed them for my own salvation,
• 5:49
  for my own spiritual walk. And so it was a huge
• 5:52
  perspective shift when I realized I was like,
• 5:54
  this isn't about me going and helping other people.
• 5:57
  This is about how other people help me when I'm
• 5:59
  willing to lay myself aside. And it totally shifts
• 6:02
  your Christian walk. That's profound. You don't
• 6:04
  look like a 20 -something when you say that.
• 6:06
  I mean, you look like a woman who's experienced
• 6:08
  what many people never experience in their life.
• 6:13
  And that is the connection to what ministry does
• 6:18
  for us, what God wants. It's part of the sanctification
• 6:21
  process. If I can use a big theological word,
• 6:23
  I hope people will forgive me. But what the sanctification
• 6:26
  process is, that cleansing comes through meeting
• 6:29
  other people and knowing their need and giving
• 6:32
  up self. And it's so, to me, the beautiful...
• 6:37
  part of it was when I realized that that was
• 6:39
  exactly what Jesus did for us in a sense. And
• 6:42
  so it was like the most ironic thing because
• 6:44
  it's the more you give, the more you actually
• 6:47
  get. But the more I'm willing to change and be
• 6:49
  there for the people and do that mission, the
• 6:51
  more I receive in turn and the more those people
• 6:53
  will also want to accept Jesus, which is exactly
• 6:56
  what Jesus did for us. He came here, he changed
• 6:58
  himself into a man, and that's why I'm willing
• 7:00
  to change and become closer to him because he
• 7:03
  changed for me. Isabel, I'm fascinated by your
• 7:06
  deep understanding. understanding of the gospel.
• 7:07
  Praise the Lord for that. It's amazing. And you
• 7:09
  get to experience it on and on and on in ministry
• 7:12
  and in missions and working with God. And let's
• 7:14
  be real. We can let that slip. We can let that
• 7:17
  go away and not stay that focus that we need.
• 7:21
  So we have to constantly, constantly, constantly
• 7:24
  be reconnecting, right? Definitely. Definitely.
• 7:28
  We were talking about your family, your roots.
• 7:31
  Siblings? I'm the oldest. I have two younger
• 7:34
  siblings. One is going to start college this
• 7:37
  year, and another one is starting academy. Okay.
• 7:40
  Academy being high school for those viewers that
• 7:43
  aren't familiar with the Adventist culture. We
• 7:45
  have a lot of folks that are not Seventh -day
• 7:46
  Adventists, not Christians, that are enjoying
• 7:48
  the program. So I want to clarify those little
• 7:50
  details. So when you went to college, And you
• 7:58
  talked about being involved in missions. How
• 8:00
  did you connect with CORE? How did that transition
• 8:04
  happen? So actually from a young age, I had listened
• 8:07
  to Pastor D. Casper preach. He came to our church,
• 8:10
  and later on I found out that I did special music
• 8:11
  the Sabbath that he was preaching at our church.
• 8:13
  So I was very familiar with CORE and what they
• 8:15
  were doing. I graduated college, and I had set
• 8:18
  out to do missions. And I studied theology, and
• 8:22
  so it's a very Bible -based. study and I didn't
• 8:27
  really know what I was going to do with it. And
• 8:28
  I was like, Lord, you know, as a female studying
• 8:30
  theology, what are you, what do you have in store
• 8:32
  for me? But there was actually something very
• 8:35
  interesting that God spoke to me when I was studying,
• 8:37
  which was, well, if Moses during those 40 years
• 8:43
  didn't know where he was going to end up, how,
• 8:46
  like, what right did I have to know what I was
• 8:48
  going to do with theology? So I was like, Lord,
• 8:50
  you know, I surrender. I do theology. Use it
• 8:53
  when in your good time. So I was at a conference,
• 8:57
  kind of like GC, and Pastor D saw me, and he
• 9:03
  thought I was someone else. And he was like,
• 9:05
  hey! how are you doing how's your husband I was
• 9:07
  like I don't have one of those and he was like
• 9:11
  wait well didn't you go to this school and I
• 9:13
  was like yes I did and he's like didn't you do
• 9:14
  canvassing I was like yes I did and he's like
• 9:16
  and did you do a medical missionary program and
• 9:18
  I was like yes I did and he's like that's great
• 9:20
  because we need an outreach coordinator and I
• 9:22
  was like you have no idea who I am like I did
• 9:25
  do the same things that the other person he was
• 9:27
  thinking of had done And so long story short,
• 9:31
  we connected and we talked and then I went overseas
• 9:34
  for missions. And then a year later, I came back
• 9:36
  and started working at CORE. Amen. And so that's
• 9:39
  your role now, outreach coordinator. Yes, I work
• 9:41
  as an outreach coordinator. Isn't it interesting
• 9:42
  how those divine appointments, even the ones
• 9:44
  that look messy like that, work out for his plan,
• 9:48
  right? Yes, it does. All right. I want to learn
• 9:50
  more about your role as Outreach Coordinator
• 9:51
  and the work of CORE in just a moment. We're
• 9:53
  going to take a break. Thank you for our listeners

  Sunlight Chat. We'll be back in a moment with
• 10:20
  more. It means transforming a school, orphanage
• 10:48
  or hospital. It means fire, rain, ice and snow.
• 10:53
  It means gifts by the dollar and by the check.
• 10:57
  It means donations that roll and donations that
• 11:01
  fly. It's a movement on a trail or down a motorway.
• 11:07
  It means family. All of us together. And individually.
• 11:14
  It's who you are or who you are becoming. And
• 11:18
  to her, it's a simple gesture that means hope.
• 11:22
  Whatever it means to you, being a media missionary
• 11:25
  means more than you might think. Welcome back
• 11:37
  to Mission Sunlight Chat here from the General
• 11:39
  Conference Session Exhibit Hall. Lots of exhibitors
• 11:43
  here, hundreds, literally hundreds of visitors.
• 11:45
  And one of those is CORE. That's right. Isabel
• 11:50
  Santos, you are the Outreach Coordinator for
• 11:54
  CORE. Tell us what CORE is first, and then tell
• 11:57
  us what an Outreach Coordinator does. All right.
• 11:59
  So CORE is a 14 -week discipleship training program
• 12:02
  in evangelism. And we work with all adults above
• 12:05
  18 where they come. And during those 14 weeks,
• 12:08
  they learn more about Christ, more about the
• 12:10
  Adventist message. And our big focus is seeing
• 12:12
  Christ at the center of every message. So we
• 12:15
  love looking and exploring at every single message
• 12:18
  in the Bible and how it talks about Jesus, how
• 12:21
  it talks more about the gospel. We do also have
• 12:24
  a very strong emphasis in mental health. So we
• 12:27
  work a lot with Adventist mental health professionals
• 12:29
  where they come and they teach our mental health
• 12:31
  classes, pairing up mental health and the gospel.
• 12:34
  And it's a very unique blend because when you
• 12:36
  use mental health and the gospel, it allows for
• 12:38
  the person to not only grow stronger spiritually,
• 12:41
  but also mentally. And then we also have our
• 12:44
  physical health classes and the classes on health
• 12:46
  evangelism where the person also learns how to
• 12:48
  grow stronger. physically so you have a unique
• 12:51
  blend of the spiritual the mental and the physical
• 12:55
  there's where you can grow and learn more about
• 12:57
  yourself about Christ and about also how to reach
• 13:01
  other people so we do a lot of evangelism Two
• 13:04
  days a week we go out and we knock on doors and
• 13:06
  we give Bible studies. And we do bridge events
• 13:09
  where we do cooking classes and mental health
• 13:12
  seminars as well. And an evangelistic series
• 13:15
  where the students learn about an evangelistic
• 13:17
  cycle and how to run an evangelism program as
• 13:20
  well. Amen. So fascinating program. So you're
• 13:24
  working there as an outreach coordinator. I can
• 13:26
  imagine what that is, but don't let me imagine.
• 13:29
  Tell me what that work involves. So as an outreach
• 13:31
  coordinator, I get to work with the students
• 13:33
  and helping them understand the evangelism, not
• 13:37
  only in theory, but also in practice. So logistical
• 13:40
  things as like, how do I choose a territory to
• 13:43
  go knock at doors? And how do I answer different
• 13:46
  questions? And how do I survey people? How do
• 13:48
  I answer these questions? How do I text them?
• 13:51
  leave them hanging but also not hanging too much
• 13:54
  so that they're they'll want more but at the
• 13:56
  same time they don't feel like i just drop them
• 13:59
  and i don't really have anything to say so i
• 14:01
  work more with that logistical aspect helping
• 14:03
  the students be able to understand how it works
• 14:06
  but also do it themselves because our goal is
• 14:08
  that the student not only learns the skill but
• 14:11
  learns also how to lead themselves so that they
• 14:13
  can lead other people in the evangelism and in
• 14:15
  the field as well wow so you're really helping
• 14:21
  We talked about God having a plan. You're really
• 14:23
  helping students as they begin that journey to
• 14:25
  see what God's plan is because the various aspects
• 14:31
  of CORE, the various aspects of outreach are,
• 14:34
  you might go this way with it, you might go this
• 14:37
  way with it, or you might go in. It helps them
• 14:39
  kind of pull. I'm going to use a bad comparison.
• 14:45
  It's like a doctor who's... going into the different
• 14:47
  disciplines in the hospital, kind of trying to
• 14:50
  figure out which one appeals to them the most.
• 14:52
  Some of them will know this is the area I want
• 14:54
  to go into, or others want to test the waters
• 14:55
  and see. So you're kind of giving them that opportunity
• 14:57
  to test the waters and the various aspects of
• 14:59
  outreach coordinating. Maybe they're better with
• 15:02
  preaching, maybe they're better with books, or
• 15:05
  they're better with... whatever area of evangelism.
• 15:08
  You're really helping them find their niche.
• 15:10
  Yes, and helping them be able to develop even
• 15:13
  a little bit outside of their niche. So being
• 15:15
  able to understand like, okay, door -to -door
• 15:17
  is not my thing. And that idea is building a
• 15:19
  well -rounded portfolio. Yes, and how can I actually
• 15:22
  enjoy it? What are different ways that I can
• 15:24
  do it? where it feels less of a checklist thing
• 15:28
  to do, but more of a friendly and engaging way.
• 15:30
  So we go over those ways with students. So all
• 15:33
  the students are required to do are evangelism
• 15:35
  from door to door, Bible studies and public speaking.
• 15:38
  And it's great because they grow outside their
• 15:42
  comfort zone and they're able to develop more.
• 15:44
  So there are a lot of students that come and
• 15:46
  I've had students that came and they were doing
• 15:48
  the public speaking and they were hitting themselves
• 15:50
  in the face because they were so nervous and
• 15:52
  they wanted to start crying. And that was the
• 15:54
  first. presentation they do and then you come
• 15:56
  to the last presentation that person is speaking
• 15:58
  so eloquently comfortably because they've not
• 16:00
  only learned the skills and the tools they were
• 16:03
  mentored through it and they also were able to
• 16:06
  learn from an experience that came from themselves
• 16:09
  in their own Christian walk with Christ so the
• 16:13
  articulateness comes from not only practicing
• 16:15
  but from peace and finding that in Jesus yeah
• 16:20
  yes what a blessing What else is going on at
• 16:24
  CORE? So at CORE, one of our great things that
• 16:28
  I, one of our favorite things at CORE is the
• 16:31
  Three Angels message. And I'm going to touch
• 16:33
  on this a little bit because when you go to Revelation
• 16:35
  14 and you look at the Three Angels message,
• 16:37
  do you remember what the first message of the
• 16:40
  Three Angel message is? Oh, wow, you're going
• 16:43
  to hit me with this. It's about worship and salvation.
• 16:47
  Yes. And when you look at the three angels message,
• 16:50
  it says first that the angel comes having the
• 16:53
  everlasting gospel. Right. And that we kind of
• 16:56
  skim through it and then go to the message of
• 16:58
  fear God and give glory to him. But the reality
• 17:01
  is people will only ever fear God and give glory
• 17:04
  to him if they understand the everlasting gospel.
• 17:06
  So we like to focus a lot on that story of the
• 17:09
  everlasting gospel, seeing how Christ. story
• 17:11
  connects to our story and that way you bring
• 17:14
  in a whole new relationship aspect because you
• 17:17
  not only see your story of how I was separated
• 17:20
  from God and how now I'm suffering the consequences
• 17:22
  of sin but how God was separated from me and
• 17:25
  how he suffers the consequences of sin as well
• 17:27
  and that whole dynamic change is kind of what
• 17:29
  we were talking about later it removed or earlier
• 17:32
  right it removes us from this perspective of
• 17:35
  how it's about me and I'm the one having more
• 17:38
  and giving to other people to the place where
• 17:40
  like I'm giving, but actually I'm getting so
• 17:43
  much more in return because it's these people
• 17:46
  who are blessing me. The amount that I'm blessing
• 17:48
  them is so small in comparison to the amount
• 17:51
  that I've been blessed, being blessed as well.
• 17:53
  And so when we remove all our focus so much from
• 17:56
  our own experience and how I need to do all of
• 17:59
  these things to seeing Christ experience. naturally
• 18:03
  our obedience falls into place and naturally
• 18:05
  our love for Jesus grows even bigger. And that's
• 18:08
  one of the amazing components of CORE, being
• 18:10
  able to set that time aside to understand what
• 18:13
  the Adventist message is all about, what loving
• 18:15
  Jesus is all about, because we look at how Christ
• 18:18
  has first loved us. The Bible has such hope for
• 18:21
  us. I would dare say it's not just the Adventist
• 18:24
  message. It's the message of God to his people.
• 18:26
  Yes, 100%. The three angels' messages of Revelation
• 18:29
  14. I like to summarize them this way. I thought
• 18:32
  you were going, which we touched on a little
• 18:34
  bit. Three S's. Salvation, sin, sinfulness, and
• 18:40
  sound doctrine. As we move from one angel's message
• 18:44
  to another angel's message, as we worship him,
• 18:46
  because it says in the first... Worship him who
• 18:51
  made heaven and earth. Yes. We find our salvation
• 18:54
  in our creator God because he's the maker of
• 18:57
  heaven and earth. Right. And we recognize sinfulness
• 19:00
  and we want to stay away from it. And Satan's
• 19:03
  big deception is that sin isn't really sin. You
• 19:06
  know, there's all kinds of twists and turns that
• 19:08
  he tries to make sin look OK. That's why it's
• 19:11
  called Babylon. It feels good. And then, OK,
• 19:14
  when we move beyond that sin. we need to replace
• 19:17
  it with something. We need to replace it with
• 19:19
  sound doctrine, right? So as I'm listening to
• 19:23
  you talk about salvation, you're not only giving
• 19:26
  these people something that blesses you, but
• 19:31
  you're turning them into disciple makers who
• 19:34
  are then going to be blessed. You say it's something
• 19:36
  small, something big for you. But when they start
• 19:40
  practicing that in return. then that bigness
• 19:43
  comes to them, right? It increases. That's what
• 19:45
  disciple making is. Yes, and it grows their own
• 19:47
  experience with Christ as well. CORE is training
• 19:50
  disciples to be disciple makers. That is correct.
• 19:53
  Who will then train... disciples to be disciple
• 19:57
  makers yes who will then train disciples you
• 20:00
  got the idea yes and that's the way you grow
• 20:02
  because you influence one person that is able
• 20:05
  to influence more people that are able to influence
• 20:08
  more people and your impact just grows up the
• 20:10
  true ripple effect yes that's correct yeah and
• 20:13
  i i like to say we can't all be mark finley's
• 20:16
  but we never know when the next mark finley is
• 20:19
  going to stand up so somebody we're sharing jesus
• 20:22
  with some young adult might end up being that
• 20:25
  person who has, or Alejandro Bullion, did I say
• 20:30
  it? From South America. Make sure I use somebody
• 20:32
  from that context as well. Thank you so much
• 20:36
  for sharing about CORE. We're going to come back
• 20:37
  in a moment and learn just a little bit more.
• 20:39
  Thank you for being a part of our program today.
• 20:41
  You want to connect with us, missionsunlight

• 20:48
  hello at missionsunlight .org is the email to
• 20:50
  connect with us. We'll be back in a moment with
• 20:52
  more Mission Sunlight Chat. Our salvation is
• 21:04
  a day -to -day matter, isn't it? The real principle
• 21:09
  of the Sabbath is reconnecting ourselves with
• 21:14
  the Creator. We must learn to abide in Jesus
• 21:20
  now. We move ahead with our mission objectives,
• 21:23
  recognizing that we are serving together the
• 21:26
  Most High God. Welcome back to Mission Sunlight
• 21:41
  Chat from the General Conference Session Exhibit
• 21:43
  Hall with hundreds of exhibitors here. One of
• 21:47
  them, Core Evangelism, and our guest today, Isabel
• 21:51
  Santos. Isabel, you with Core have a number of
• 21:57
  opportunities to train. Are you doing all those,
• 22:01
  U and D, or what's that team look like? This
• 22:04
  is an exciting part of our program because we
• 22:06
  get a lot of international speakers as some of
• 22:09
  our teachers. So we have teachers like Sebastian
• 22:11
  Braxton and Dr. Eric Walsh. These are people
• 22:14
  who usually speak to very big groups of people,
• 22:16
  but they come and they separate that time to
• 22:18
  come and teach classes at CORE, which not only
• 22:21
  gives an opportunity to hear an amazing, eloquent
• 22:23
  speaker who has been speaking about Jesus for
• 22:26
  so long, but it also gives the student a network
• 22:28
  and professional link. development opportunity
• 22:31
  as well so they are able to connect with that
• 22:33
  teacher and learn about their ministry and how
• 22:35
  God has led them as well in their things and
• 22:38
  so usually within a week we have two to three
• 22:40
  different teachers that come and teach different
• 22:42
  classes they're all professionals in their expertise
• 22:44
  in their area and so they are experts in let's
• 22:49
  say you know theological field or health field
• 22:51
  or mental health field and they'll come and they'll
• 22:53
  share and they have that time to bond with the
• 22:55
  students as well. Wow and when When they come,
• 23:01
  is there like one -on -one time then? Yes. So
• 23:04
  if the student would like, they can ask the teacher
• 23:06
  to come and like, hey, I want to speak to you.
• 23:08
  There are times during the meals that the teachers
• 23:11
  will eat with the students as well. And these
• 23:13
  are people with significant experience in evangelism
• 23:16
  and outreach. So that's a real blessing. Yes.
• 23:18
  Whereas if they showed up at a camp meeting,
• 23:20
  it might be hard to get two minutes with somebody
• 23:22
  like that. They have this opportunity during
• 23:24
  the program. That's a powerful moment. That's
• 23:26
  great. Yeah. What else is going on with CORE?
• 23:29
  You said you've changed the structure from, I
• 23:32
  think it was nine months when I heard, when I've
• 23:35
  talked with Dee and I've actually been with one
• 23:37
  of his teams in Cuba. Yes, yes. So now it's a
• 23:39
  shortened time. Yes. One of our chief complaints
• 23:41
  was always, I don't have the money or I don't
• 23:43
  have the time, right? And so we're like, what
• 23:44
  can we do to be able to reach more people? And
• 23:47
  so we've been able to shorten the program to
• 23:49
  14 weeks, which is considerably shorter, right?
• 23:52
  Which also means that it's less of a financial
• 23:54
  commitment. But we were also able to keep most
• 23:57
  of our classes and still give breathing room
• 24:00
  for the students to be able to process what's
• 24:02
  going on. So it's 14 weeks. It happens once in
• 24:05
  a year in the fall from August to November. And
• 24:08
  students can come. They can learn. They'll have
• 24:10
  that time there and they can continue on developing
• 24:13
  whether they're going to go to the mission field
• 24:15
  or they're going to go back home to school or
• 24:17
  to work. They're able to leave with a spiritual
• 24:19
  boost and understanding more about God and how
• 24:21
  they can continue to share him wherever they're
• 24:24
  called to be. Do you anticipate it moving to
• 24:26
  having two sessions a year or three sessions
• 24:28
  a year at 14? If God opens the door for that,
• 24:30
  of course we'll go there. Okay. Yes, yes. And
• 24:33
  we have... One of our sayings at CORE we love
• 24:37
  the most is that we want students to own their
• 24:40
  faith. Yes. And we want them to find their calling
• 24:43
  and go change the world wherever God calls them.
• 24:45
  Amen. Yes. Where are some of your students going
• 24:49
  when they leave CORE? I have an internship program
• 24:52
  also. Some of our students want to learn more
• 24:55
  about agriculture or medical missionary work
• 24:58
  or just ministry and how do you operate a ministry.
• 25:01
  And so we have partnership with different ministries
• 25:02
  around the U .S. where a student is able to go
• 25:05
  and not only start serving actively, but also
• 25:08
  continue learning and receiving mentorship from
• 25:10
  core staff. So they go to these places and they
• 25:13
  get hands -on training. They're there working
• 25:15
  already and they get to network with the people
• 25:17
  where they're from now or where they're working
• 25:19
  at. And, of course, as we know, internships can
• 25:22
  often turn into opportunities. Oh, yes. And our
• 25:25
  students have loved it. Some students are looking
• 25:27
  now forward to staying there and working there
• 25:30
  and learning more about that job as well. What's
• 25:33
  your favorite part of being at CORE? My favorite
• 25:36
  part about being at CORE is seeing a life -transforming
• 25:39
  experience. You know, we say CORE is a life -transforming
• 25:42
  experience, not because we're audacious and we
• 25:44
  think we have the truth and the only truth. truth
• 25:46
  and the pure truth but because when you stop
• 25:48
  and study the word and you see people who come
• 25:50
  and dedicate that time to studying God's word
• 25:52
  and to be mentored and to be discipled you see
• 25:55
  a transformation in their hearts and the way
• 25:57
  they think about God and the way they start relating
• 25:59
  to God and the way they start relating to other
• 26:02
  people as well as they go out it becomes a lifestyle
• 26:05
  where you just share your faith because your
• 26:08
  cup is overflowing amen you know before you go
• 26:12
  I want to ask you just Share an encouraging word
• 26:14
  with our listeners and viewers. Of course, it's
• 26:16
  my privilege. There's a verse in Revelation 14,
• 26:20
  verse 12. Revelation 14, verse 12, it says, Here
• 26:23
  is the patience of the saints. Here are those
• 26:25
  who keep the commandments of God and the faith
• 26:28
  of Jesus. When we look at Jesus, we don't really
• 26:30
  think of him needing to have faith. I mean, faith
• 26:33
  is, you know, evidence of things not seen, right?
• 26:37
  Something that we hope for. But Jesus has faith.
• 26:41
  And he has faith specifically in us. And he has
• 26:44
  that faith and he demonstrated that faith in
• 26:46
  us when he died on the cross. Because he had
• 26:48
  faith that someone one day would look at his
• 26:50
  great sacrifice and say, I want it. Even though
• 26:53
  when we were far away from him, when we walked
• 26:55
  away from the Garden of Eden, because we didn't
• 26:57
  want to have anything to do with it. When we
• 26:59
  sinned and when we went against his word, he
• 27:01
  has faith that we will turn to him. And in those
• 27:04
  darkest moments of your life, when you feel like,
• 27:06
  oh no. I don't have faith in myself. I'm not
• 27:09
  going to be able to make it. This mission thing
• 27:11
  is too hard and there's trials around you and
• 27:13
  you feel down in the low. Jesus has faith in
• 27:16
  you. He will go there and he will catch you.
• 27:18
  And it's that faith that in turn will breed in
• 27:21
  you a faith for him as well. Amen. You preach.
• 27:26
  I do. I want to come sometime when you're at
• 27:29
  a church speaking. It would be an honor. Isabel
• 27:33
  Santos, thanks so much for joining us from CORE.
• 27:35
  It's been a blessing to hear your testimony.
• 27:37
  Jordan, would you wrap up our program today with
• 27:39
  a word of prayer? Sure thing. Let's have prayer.
• 27:44
  Dear Holy Father, we thank you for this opportunity
• 27:46
  to talk to CORE and hear the different things
• 27:49
  that are happening there, the exciting things
• 27:52
  and the lives that are being changed that will
• 27:55
  in turn change more lives. I pray that you'll
• 27:57
  continue to bless this ministry. as they move
• 28:00
  to a model where they can, in a sense, get more
• 28:03
  people through and change more lives. And please
• 28:07
  bless them as they move down this path. As people
• 28:11
  are listening, too, if they are hearing, just
• 28:14
  hearing about this program, I pray that you will
• 28:18
  encourage them, if it's something that they're
• 28:19
  interested in going into, to take the step out
• 28:22
  in faith and connect with CORE. a similar program
• 28:28
  that is along the path of what they're looking
• 28:31
  for and encourage them to have a stronger relationship
• 28:34
  with you. That's what we're all looking for,
• 28:36
  Lord, and looking for your soon return. We pray
• 28:41
  that you'll keep us until then. In your name,
• 28:42
  amen. Amen. Thanks for joining us for this Mission
