WEBVTT

00:00:05.406 --> 00:00:06.813
We started in our garage,

00:00:06.814 --> 00:00:09.839
but we’ve kind of progressed to a studio

00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:12.092
that over the last eight years
we’ve built up,

00:00:12.233 --> 00:00:15.685
and it’s servicing us
very well at the moment!

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

00:00:21.207 --> 00:00:24.107
<i>to do media ministry
for children in Australia.</i>

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

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

00:00:27.229 --> 00:00:30.561
<i>and Robert was working at
Sanitarium Health Food Company.</i>

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

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

00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:41.289
“Look, I’ve got this
ministry for you guys.

00:00:42.174 --> 00:00:47.471
I want you to not just do songs,
but media.”

00:00:48.989 --> 00:00:50.965
He also said that this house,

00:00:50.965 --> 00:00:53.938
the house that I actually grew up in
but wasn’t living in at the time,

00:00:54.285 --> 00:00:57.438
was going to be
the headquarters in the future.

00:00:58.085 --> 00:00:59.458
I came home and told Kimberly,

00:00:59.459 --> 00:01:01.671
and she said, “I’m not 
living in that house.

00:01:02.403 --> 00:01:04.803
<i>But they felt impressed
to follow God's will.</i>

00:01:04.956 --> 00:01:07.089
<i>They moved in, built a studio,</i>

00:01:07.090 --> 00:01:08.950
<i>and now, after many challenges,</i>

00:01:08.951 --> 00:01:12.623
<i>run a fully operational
children’s media ministry.</i>

00:01:13.223 --> 00:01:16.796
<i>The</i> King’s Kids<i> program began
at the beginning of the pandemic,</i>

00:01:17.130 --> 00:01:19.256
<i>As churches closed their doors,</i>

00:01:19.256 --> 00:01:21.923
<i>there was a need for more
children’s programming.</i>

00:01:22.203 --> 00:01:25.023
<i>Within a week of their
first brainstorming meeting,</i>

00:01:25.024 --> 00:01:29.343
<i>a small team recorded
the first episode of</i> King’s Kids<i>!</i>

00:01:29.676 --> 00:01:33.080
<i>They have continued to put out
an episode every week since,</i>

00:01:33.376 --> 00:01:37.949
<i>focused on discipleship and based
on the Primary Sabbath School lesson.</i>

00:01:38.149 --> 00:01:41.056
<i>They’ve produced more than 100 episodes!</i>

00:01:43.549 --> 00:01:44.612
If you came to our house,

00:01:44.612 --> 00:01:47.489
you would see it’s been
converted into a studio.

00:01:47.936 --> 00:01:49.656
We have a control room,

00:01:49.657 --> 00:01:51.549
a studio, which is where we are
at the moment,

00:01:51.793 --> 00:01:53.676
we have hundreds of puppets,

00:01:54.138 --> 00:01:56.171
and lots of characters,
lots of children,

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.

00:02:00.418 --> 00:02:02.261
Getting right to the heart of families,

00:02:02.261 --> 00:02:04.421
and how we can connect them

00:02:04.421 --> 00:02:06.270
and develop their relationship 
with Christ.

00:02:06.891 --> 00:02:08.917
Kimberly and Rob
show that in everything they do,

00:02:08.917 --> 00:02:10.796
in the way they treat us 
as their staff,

00:02:11.136 --> 00:02:12.346
in the way they support us,

00:02:12.347 --> 00:02:14.854
and in the way we challenge each other

00:02:14.855 --> 00:02:17.164
to move forward with the projects 
that we’re working on.

00:02:17.641 --> 00:02:20.649
<i>The feedback has been
overwhelmingly positive,</i>

00:02:20.867 --> 00:02:24.203
<i>and now God has put 
a new project on their hearts.</i>

00:02:24.572 --> 00:02:26.900
The King’s Kids program
that we’re currently producing

00:02:26.901 --> 00:02:28.479
is a real discipleship one,

00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:31.499
which is trying to make
a difference to children

00:02:31.500 --> 00:02:33.250
that already know something about God.

00:02:33.477 --> 00:02:35.501
But there’s a project
that we’re working on

00:02:35.667 --> 00:02:37.636
and developing at the
moment called, “The Rescue”

00:02:37.637 --> 00:02:40.568
which is going to be 
a real evangelistic project

00:02:40.569 --> 00:02:43.080
for children and families
that don’t know about God,

00:02:43.081 --> 00:02:44.656
that haven’t been brought up in church,

00:02:44.656 --> 00:02:46.844
that don’t know about Jesus,

00:02:46.845 --> 00:02:50.365
and the only time they’ve heard
about God is in slang language.

00:02:51.144 --> 00:02:53.168
They’re the ones 
that we really want to reach.

00:02:53.738 --> 00:02:56.372
What we’ll be doing is
taking the story of salvation

00:02:56.373 --> 00:02:58.907
and looking at God as the rescuer,

00:02:58.907 --> 00:03:00.961
somebody who sees us,
who loves us,

00:03:00.962 --> 00:03:02.437
and has a plan for us,

00:03:02.437 --> 00:03:04.131
and how throughout time,

00:03:04.132 --> 00:03:07.887
He has laid out this plan 
to come and rescue His people.

00:03:08.294 --> 00:03:09.747
This project is something

00:03:09.748 --> 00:03:13.263
that will be available free 
on multiple platforms.

00:03:13.649 --> 00:03:15.016
We’re really hoping to reach out

00:03:15.017 --> 00:03:17.298
and connect with families 
across the world.

00:03:18.153 --> 00:03:19.215
<i>This quarter,</i>

00:03:19.216 --> 00:03:21.826
<i>a portion of your 13th Sabbath Offering</i>

00:03:21.826 --> 00:03:25.044
<i>will help support the creation 
of</i> The Rescue,

00:03:25.045 --> 00:03:28.366
<i>a three season series
that travels through time</i>

00:03:28.367 --> 00:03:31.676
<i>and focuses on different aspects 
of</i> The Great Controversy,

00:03:31.677 --> 00:03:34.627
<i>and how God has intervened
to rescue His people.</i>

00:03:35.077 --> 00:03:37.258
<i>There’s so much behind-the-scenes work</i>

00:03:37.258 --> 00:03:39.450
<i>that is put into a project like this.</i>

00:03:40.048 --> 00:03:42.649
It’s been a huge step of faith 
all the way through.

00:03:43.288 --> 00:03:44.491
Sometimes we’re not quite sure

00:03:44.492 --> 00:03:46.187
where the next bit of
funding is going to come from,

00:03:46.188 --> 00:03:48.448
where the next bit of equipment 
is going to come from.

00:03:48.449 --> 00:03:52.722
The extra puppets, the sets,
the design, cameras, lighting.

00:03:52.980 --> 00:03:54.895
There’s so much involved.

00:03:54.895 --> 00:03:59.788
That’s what we need to continue
to produce high-quality kids’ content.

00:04:00.576 --> 00:04:03.576
Without the help of people like yourself,

00:04:03.577 --> 00:04:06.590
that wouldn’t happen
as well as it does.

00:04:06.826 --> 00:04:10.966
We need everybody to jump in behind us

00:04:10.967 --> 00:04:14.244
and to support us with your funds, 
with your offerings.

00:04:14.852 --> 00:04:18.961
<i>Thank you for planning a generous
13th Sabbath Offering this quarter</i>

00:04:18.962 --> 00:04:20.888
<i>that will help share the love of Jesus</i>

00:04:20.888 --> 00:04:24.574
<i>with kids across the South Pacific 
and around the world!</i>
