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
Kimberly and Robert were called by God
6
00:00:21,207 --> 00:00:24,107
to do media ministry
for children in Australia.
7
00:00:24,326 --> 00:00:25,333
At the time,
8
00:00:25,334 --> 00:00:27,228
Kimberly started writing songs,
9
00:00:27,229 --> 00:00:30,561
and Robert was working at
Sanitarium Health Food Company.
10
00:00:30,989 --> 00:00:35,068
One day as Robert was working,
God revealed a plan!
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
But they felt impressed
to follow God's will.
20
00:01:04,956 --> 00:01:07,089
They moved in, built a studio,
21
00:01:07,090 --> 00:01:08,950
and now, after many challenges,
22
00:01:08,951 --> 00:01:12,623
run a fully operational
children’s media ministry.
23
00:01:13,223 --> 00:01:16,796
The King’s Kids program began
at the beginning of the pandemic,
24
00:01:17,130 --> 00:01:19,256
As churches closed their doors,
25
00:01:19,256 --> 00:01:21,923
there was a need for more
children’s programming.
26
00:01:22,203 --> 00:01:25,023
Within a week of their
first brainstorming meeting,
27
00:01:25,024 --> 00:01:29,343
a small team recorded
the first episode of King’s Kids!
28
00:01:29,676 --> 00:01:33,080
They have continued to put out
an episode every week since,
29
00:01:33,376 --> 00:01:37,949
focused on discipleship and based
on the Primary Sabbath School lesson.
30
00:01:38,149 --> 00:01:41,056
They’ve produced more than 100 episodes!
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
The feedback has been
overwhelmingly positive,
47
00:02:20,867 --> 00:02:24,203
and now God has put
a new project on their hearts.
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
This quarter,
71
00:03:19,216 --> 00:03:21,826
a portion of your 13th Sabbath Offering
72
00:03:21,826 --> 00:03:25,044
will help support the creation
of The Rescue,
73
00:03:25,045 --> 00:03:28,366
a three season series
that travels through time
74
00:03:28,367 --> 00:03:31,676
and focuses on different aspects
of The Great Controversy,
75
00:03:31,677 --> 00:03:34,627
and how God has intervened
to rescue His people.
76
00:03:35,077 --> 00:03:37,258
There’s so much behind-the-scenes work
77
00:03:37,258 --> 00:03:39,450
that is put into a project like this.
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
Thank you for planning a generous
13th Sabbath Offering this quarter
90
00:04:18,962 --> 00:04:20,888
that will help share the love of Jesus
91
00:04:20,888 --> 00:04:24,574
with kids across the South Pacific
and around the world!
