0:00:05.406,0:00:06.813
We started in our garage,

0:00:06.814,0:00:09.839
but we’ve kind of progressed to a studio

0:00:09.839,0:00:12.092
that over the last eight years[br]we’ve built up,

0:00:12.233,0:00:15.685
and it’s servicing us[br]very well at the moment!

0:00:18.974,0:00:21.206
<i>Kimberly and Robert were called by God</i>

0:00:21.207,0:00:24.107
<i>to do media ministry[br]for children in Australia.</i>

0:00:24.326,0:00:25.333
<i>At the time,</i>

0:00:25.334,0:00:27.228
<i>Kimberly started writing songs,</i>

0:00:27.229,0:00:30.561
<i>and Robert was working at[br]Sanitarium Health Food Company.</i>

0:00:30.989,0:00:35.068
<i>One day as Robert was working,[br]God revealed a plan!</i>

0:00:35.353,0:00:37.499
God spoke to me in the oven and said,

0:00:37.500,0:00:41.289
“Look, I’ve got this[br]ministry for you guys.

0:00:42.174,0:00:47.471
I want you to not just do songs,[br]but media.”

0:00:48.989,0:00:50.965
He also said that this house,

0:00:50.965,0:00:53.938
the house that I actually grew up in[br]but wasn’t living in at the time,

0:00:54.285,0:00:57.438
was going to be[br]the headquarters in the future.

0:00:58.085,0:00:59.458
I came home and told Kimberly,

0:00:59.459,0:01:01.671
and she said, “I’m not [br]living in that house.

0:01:02.403,0:01:04.803
<i>But they felt impressed[br]to follow God's will.</i>

0:01:04.956,0:01:07.089
<i>They moved in, built a studio,</i>

0:01:07.090,0:01:08.950
<i>and now, after many challenges,</i>

0:01:08.951,0:01:12.623
<i>run a fully operational[br]children’s media ministry.</i>

0:01:13.223,0:01:16.796
<i>The</i> King’s Kids<i> program began[br]at the beginning of the pandemic,</i>

0:01:17.130,0:01:19.256
<i>As churches closed their doors,</i>

0:01:19.256,0:01:21.923
<i>there was a need for more[br]children’s programming.</i>

0:01:22.203,0:01:25.023
<i>Within a week of their[br]first brainstorming meeting,</i>

0:01:25.024,0:01:29.343
<i>a small team recorded[br]the first episode of</i> King’s Kids<i>!</i>

0:01:29.676,0:01:33.080
<i>They have continued to put out[br]an episode every week since,</i>

0:01:33.376,0:01:37.949
<i>focused on discipleship and based[br]on the Primary Sabbath School lesson.</i>

0:01:38.149,0:01:41.056
<i>They’ve produced more than 100 episodes!</i>

0:01:43.549,0:01:44.612
If you came to our house,

0:01:44.612,0:01:47.489
you would see it’s been[br]converted into a studio.

0:01:47.936,0:01:49.656
We have a control room,

0:01:49.657,0:01:51.549
a studio, which is where we are[br]at the moment,

0:01:51.793,0:01:53.676
we have hundreds of puppets,

0:01:54.138,0:01:56.171
and lots of characters,[br]lots of children,

0:01:56.173,0:02:00.026
and a lot of people that are helping[br]to support and be a part of this project.

0:02:00.418,0:02:02.261
Getting right to the heart of families,

0:02:02.261,0:02:04.421
and how we can connect them

0:02:04.421,0:02:06.270
and develop their relationship [br]with Christ.

0:02:06.891,0:02:08.917
Kimberly and Rob[br]show that in everything they do,

0:02:08.917,0:02:10.796
in the way they treat us [br]as their staff,

0:02:11.136,0:02:12.346
in the way they support us,

0:02:12.347,0:02:14.854
and in the way we challenge each other

0:02:14.855,0:02:17.164
to move forward with the projects [br]that we’re working on.

0:02:17.641,0:02:20.649
<i>The feedback has been[br]overwhelmingly positive,</i>

0:02:20.867,0:02:24.203
<i>and now God has put [br]a new project on their hearts.</i>

0:02:24.572,0:02:26.900
The King’s Kids program[br]that we’re currently producing

0:02:26.901,0:02:28.479
is a real discipleship one,

0:02:28.479,0:02:31.499
which is trying to make[br]a difference to children

0:02:31.500,0:02:33.250
that already know something about God.

0:02:33.477,0:02:35.501
But there’s a project[br]that we’re working on

0:02:35.667,0:02:37.636
and developing at the[br]moment called, “The Rescue”

0:02:37.637,0:02:40.568
which is going to be [br]a real evangelistic project

0:02:40.569,0:02:43.080
for children and families[br]that don’t know about God,

0:02:43.081,0:02:44.656
that haven’t been brought up in church,

0:02:44.656,0:02:46.844
that don’t know about Jesus,

0:02:46.845,0:02:50.365
and the only time they’ve heard[br]about God is in slang language.

0:02:51.144,0:02:53.168
They’re the ones [br]that we really want to reach.

0:02:53.738,0:02:56.372
What we’ll be doing is[br]taking the story of salvation

0:02:56.373,0:02:58.907
and looking at God as the rescuer,

0:02:58.907,0:03:00.961
somebody who sees us,[br]who loves us,

0:03:00.962,0:03:02.437
and has a plan for us,

0:03:02.437,0:03:04.131
and how throughout time,

0:03:04.132,0:03:07.887
He has laid out this plan [br]to come and rescue His people.

0:03:08.294,0:03:09.747
This project is something

0:03:09.748,0:03:13.263
that will be available free [br]on multiple platforms.

0:03:13.649,0:03:15.016
We’re really hoping to reach out

0:03:15.017,0:03:17.298
and connect with families [br]across the world.

0:03:18.153,0:03:19.215
<i>This quarter,</i>

0:03:19.216,0:03:21.826
<i>a portion of your 13th Sabbath Offering</i>

0:03:21.826,0:03:25.044
<i>will help support the creation [br]of</i> The Rescue,

0:03:25.045,0:03:28.366
<i>a three season series[br]that travels through time</i>

0:03:28.367,0:03:31.676
<i>and focuses on different aspects [br]of</i> The Great Controversy,

0:03:31.677,0:03:34.627
<i>and how God has intervened[br]to rescue His people.</i>

0:03:35.077,0:03:37.258
<i>There’s so much behind-the-scenes work</i>

0:03:37.258,0:03:39.450
<i>that is put into a project like this.</i>

0:03:40.048,0:03:42.649
It’s been a huge step of faith [br]all the way through.

0:03:43.288,0:03:44.491
Sometimes we’re not quite sure

0:03:44.492,0:03:46.187
where the next bit of[br]funding is going to come from,

0:03:46.188,0:03:48.448
where the next bit of equipment [br]is going to come from.

0:03:48.449,0:03:52.722
The extra puppets, the sets,[br]the design, cameras, lighting.

0:03:52.980,0:03:54.895
There’s so much involved.

0:03:54.895,0:03:59.788
That’s what we need to continue[br]to produce high-quality kids’ content.

0:04:00.576,0:04:03.576
Without the help of people like yourself,

0:04:03.577,0:04:06.590
that wouldn’t happen[br]as well as it does.

0:04:06.826,0:04:10.966
We need everybody to jump in behind us

0:04:10.967,0:04:14.244
and to support us with your funds, [br]with your offerings.

0:04:14.852,0:04:18.961
<i>Thank you for planning a generous[br]13th Sabbath Offering this quarter</i>

0:04:18.962,0:04:20.888
<i>that will help share the love of Jesus</i>

0:04:20.888,0:04:24.574
<i>with kids across the South Pacific [br]and around the world!</i>
