1
00:00:05,406 --> 00:00:06,813
We started in our garage,

2
00:00:06,814 --> 00:00:09,839
but we’ve kind of progressed to a studio

3
00:00:09,839 --> 00:00:12,092
that over the last eight years
we’ve built up,

4
00:00:12,233 --> 00:00:15,685
and it’s servicing us
very well at the moment!

5
00:00:18,974 --> 00:00:21,206
<i>Kimberly and Robert were called by God</i>

6
00:00:21,207 --> 00:00:24,107
<i>to do media ministry
for children in Australia.</i>

7
00:00:24,326 --> 00:00:25,333
<i>At the time,</i>

8
00:00:25,334 --> 00:00:27,228
<i>Kimberly started writing songs,</i>

9
00:00:27,229 --> 00:00:30,561
<i>and Robert was working at
Sanitarium Health Food Company.</i>

10
00:00:30,989 --> 00:00:35,068
<i>One day as Robert was working,
God revealed a plan!</i>

11
00:00:35,353 --> 00:00:37,499
God spoke to me in the oven and said,

12
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:41,289
“Look, I’ve got this
ministry for you guys.

13
00:00:42,174 --> 00:00:47,471
I want you to not just do songs,
but media.”

14
00:00:48,989 --> 00:00:50,965
He also said that this house,

15
00:00:50,965 --> 00:00:53,938
the house that I actually grew up in
but wasn’t living in at the time,

16
00:00:54,285 --> 00:00:57,438
was going to be
the headquarters in the future.

17
00:00:58,085 --> 00:00:59,458
I came home and told Kimberly,

18
00:00:59,459 --> 00:01:01,671
and she said, “I’m not 
living in that house.

19
00:01:02,403 --> 00:01:04,803
<i>But they felt impressed
to follow God's will.</i>

20
00:01:04,956 --> 00:01:07,089
<i>They moved in, built a studio,</i>

21
00:01:07,090 --> 00:01:08,950
<i>and now, after many challenges,</i>

22
00:01:08,951 --> 00:01:12,623
<i>run a fully operational
children’s media ministry.</i>

23
00:01:13,223 --> 00:01:16,796
<i>The</i> King’s Kids<i> program began
at the beginning of the pandemic,</i>

24
00:01:17,130 --> 00:01:19,256
<i>As churches closed their doors,</i>

25
00:01:19,256 --> 00:01:21,923
<i>there was a need for more
children’s programming.</i>

26
00:01:22,203 --> 00:01:25,023
<i>Within a week of their
first brainstorming meeting,</i>

27
00:01:25,024 --> 00:01:29,343
<i>a small team recorded
the first episode of</i> King’s Kids<i>!</i>

28
00:01:29,676 --> 00:01:33,080
<i>They have continued to put out
an episode every week since,</i>

29
00:01:33,376 --> 00:01:37,949
<i>focused on discipleship and based
on the Primary Sabbath School lesson.</i>

30
00:01:38,149 --> 00:01:41,056
<i>They’ve produced more than 100 episodes!</i>

31
00:01:43,549 --> 00:01:44,612
If you came to our house,

32
00:01:44,612 --> 00:01:47,489
you would see it’s been
converted into a studio.

33
00:01:47,936 --> 00:01:49,656
We have a control room,

34
00:01:49,657 --> 00:01:51,549
a studio, which is where we are
at the moment,

35
00:01:51,793 --> 00:01:53,676
we have hundreds of puppets,

36
00:01:54,138 --> 00:01:56,171
and lots of characters,
lots of children,

37
00:01:56,173 --> 00:02:00,026
and a lot of people that are helping
to support and be a part of this project.

38
00:02:00,418 --> 00:02:02,261
Getting right to the heart of families,

39
00:02:02,261 --> 00:02:04,421
and how we can connect them

40
00:02:04,421 --> 00:02:06,270
and develop their relationship 
with Christ.

41
00:02:06,891 --> 00:02:08,917
Kimberly and Rob
show that in everything they do,

42
00:02:08,917 --> 00:02:10,796
in the way they treat us 
as their staff,

43
00:02:11,136 --> 00:02:12,346
in the way they support us,

44
00:02:12,347 --> 00:02:14,854
and in the way we challenge each other

45
00:02:14,855 --> 00:02:17,164
to move forward with the projects 
that we’re working on.

46
00:02:17,641 --> 00:02:20,649
<i>The feedback has been
overwhelmingly positive,</i>

47
00:02:20,867 --> 00:02:24,203
<i>and now God has put 
a new project on their hearts.</i>

48
00:02:24,572 --> 00:02:26,900
The King’s Kids program
that we’re currently producing

49
00:02:26,901 --> 00:02:28,479
is a real discipleship one,

50
00:02:28,479 --> 00:02:31,499
which is trying to make
a difference to children

51
00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:33,250
that already know something about God.

52
00:02:33,477 --> 00:02:35,501
But there’s a project
that we’re working on

53
00:02:35,667 --> 00:02:37,636
and developing at the
moment called, “The Rescue”

54
00:02:37,637 --> 00:02:40,568
which is going to be 
a real evangelistic project

55
00:02:40,569 --> 00:02:43,080
for children and families
that don’t know about God,

56
00:02:43,081 --> 00:02:44,656
that haven’t been brought up in church,

57
00:02:44,656 --> 00:02:46,844
that don’t know about Jesus,

58
00:02:46,845 --> 00:02:50,365
and the only time they’ve heard
about God is in slang language.

59
00:02:51,144 --> 00:02:53,168
They’re the ones 
that we really want to reach.

60
00:02:53,738 --> 00:02:56,372
What we’ll be doing is
taking the story of salvation

61
00:02:56,373 --> 00:02:58,907
and looking at God as the rescuer,

62
00:02:58,907 --> 00:03:00,961
somebody who sees us,
who loves us,

63
00:03:00,962 --> 00:03:02,437
and has a plan for us,

64
00:03:02,437 --> 00:03:04,131
and how throughout time,

65
00:03:04,132 --> 00:03:07,887
He has laid out this plan 
to come and rescue His people.

66
00:03:08,294 --> 00:03:09,747
This project is something

67
00:03:09,748 --> 00:03:13,263
that will be available free 
on multiple platforms.

68
00:03:13,649 --> 00:03:15,016
We’re really hoping to reach out

69
00:03:15,017 --> 00:03:17,298
and connect with families 
across the world.

70
00:03:18,153 --> 00:03:19,215
<i>This quarter,</i>

71
00:03:19,216 --> 00:03:21,826
<i>a portion of your 13th Sabbath Offering</i>

72
00:03:21,826 --> 00:03:25,044
<i>will help support the creation 
of</i> The Rescue,

73
00:03:25,045 --> 00:03:28,366
<i>a three season series
that travels through time</i>

74
00:03:28,367 --> 00:03:31,676
<i>and focuses on different aspects 
of</i> The Great Controversy,

75
00:03:31,677 --> 00:03:34,627
<i>and how God has intervened
to rescue His people.</i>

76
00:03:35,077 --> 00:03:37,258
<i>There’s so much behind-the-scenes work</i>

77
00:03:37,258 --> 00:03:39,450
<i>that is put into a project like this.</i>

78
00:03:40,048 --> 00:03:42,649
It’s been a huge step of faith 
all the way through.

79
00:03:43,288 --> 00:03:44,491
Sometimes we’re not quite sure

80
00:03:44,492 --> 00:03:46,187
where the next bit of
funding is going to come from,

81
00:03:46,188 --> 00:03:48,448
where the next bit of equipment 
is going to come from.

82
00:03:48,449 --> 00:03:52,722
The extra puppets, the sets,
the design, cameras, lighting.

83
00:03:52,980 --> 00:03:54,895
There’s so much involved.

84
00:03:54,895 --> 00:03:59,788
That’s what we need to continue
to produce high-quality kids’ content.

85
00:04:00,576 --> 00:04:03,576
Without the help of people like yourself,

86
00:04:03,577 --> 00:04:06,590
that wouldn’t happen
as well as it does.

87
00:04:06,826 --> 00:04:10,966
We need everybody to jump in behind us

88
00:04:10,967 --> 00:04:14,244
and to support us with your funds, 
with your offerings.

89
00:04:14,852 --> 00:04:18,961
<i>Thank you for planning a generous
13th Sabbath Offering this quarter</i>

90
00:04:18,962 --> 00:04:20,888
<i>that will help share the love of Jesus</i>

91
00:04:20,888 --> 00:04:24,574
<i>with kids across the South Pacific 
and around the world!</i>
