Hey, guys.

Hi. How's everybody doing?

Good. All right. So I am super excited about tonight. We have a very special

guest. He's actually what you call a missionary.

Does anybody know what a missionary is? He

tells people about God in the desert.

That's right. He spreads the message of God all over the world. In the deserts

of Africa or the jungles of South America.

Now I want everybody to give a warm camp welcome to our special guest.

Missionary Jim.

How many of you guys have heard of the Amazon?

Me!

Dr. King?

Dr. King?

Oh, hi. You must be Mel.

Hurry up. We have to close the door. Get your stuff. We have to close the door.

Hurry. Whatever you do, don't let him out. If he tries to climb the wall, pull

him down.

You must be Mel from Boston.

I'm Dr. King.

Let me ask you something. Do you believe in demons, Mel?

Well, I believe in Jesus Christ more than I believe in demons, but... Let's

you settled.

Could live without a dream.

And never know the thrill of what could be.

When every star will fall down the drain.

I could live.

Gosh, I can't believe you came all this way. Of course I would come. Of course.

It's so good to see you now.

Thank you so much for coming.

Of course you remember Todd.

Nice to see you.

Thank

you,

John. Anyone else like some coffee?

Anita Sota.

That was her.

Anita Sota.

There were a lot of people there.

She was the one from Okinawa.

I heard your mother.

You know, I'm sure Mom wouldn't mind if you stayed here with us for a little

while. Miss Patty, she can watch the house.

You know, you're always welcome here.

Always.

Thank you, son. I appreciate that.

But your mother and I started at work.

And even though it might be difficult for you to understand, even though she's

gone in heaven, I have to continue that work.

So, when are you leaving?

Tomorrow. Donna, there's a call for you on line four.

Okay.

This is Dr. Dick.

Wait, Linda.

I thought that was tomorrow.

I'm so sorry, Linda.

Please don't be upset with me.

Listen, I can leave the hospital now. I mean, we can still make it, right?

I am.

I am packed.

Okay, can you just do me a favor?

Swing by my house and pick up my suitcase. It's in my bedroom. Can you do

Okay, yeah, I'll leave the hospital right now, and I'll just meet you at the

airport.

Is that good?

Linda, I am really, really sorry.

All right, I'll see you there.

Okay, bye -bye.

Can you do me a favor and page Dr. Stark and have him pick up this patient? I'd

appreciate it. Thank you.

This is nice.

Hey, I saw one of these fondue restaurants down the street.

We should get ready and go.

Oh, yeah.

Two widows in a romantic restaurant having fondue.

Nice.

Look, sourpuss.

This is our vacation.

And like it or not, there is plenty of life out there for us.

I just have to go get it.

What?

Okay, I'm going to take this one by the bathroom.

What did you say?

What did you say?

I'm going to take this one.

No, no.

Plenty of life out there for us.

Honey, you can have this one.

I feel like God's been trying to tell me something like that.

I don't know.

Hearing voices again.

No.

I just keep feeling like he's telling me.

And he has an adventure for me.

Something big.

Well, then he does, Donna.

You just have to make yourself available.

It's time.

It's time to live again.

And if your best friend tells you that, and God does too, that's really good

advice.

Now wipe up those tears.

Let's do fondue.

You're a fool. I love you.

Better be cheese.

Chocolate.

Apples.

me into this.

It's a movie.

It will be fun.

Listen, this group is designed just for people like us.

Ladies, welcome to movie night. Would you like some popcorn? We've got plenty

for everyone.

Thank you.

Thank you so much. You're welcome.

Goodness, you're a doctor.

I'm sorry.

You're lucky I love you. I'm so sorry.

Designed for people like us.

What kind of people do you think we are?

Dead?

Hairy?

Seriously? The popcorn's really good. The popcorn is good. I'm so sorry.

Michael,

do you speak to God? Especially in California this morning.

My dearest brothers and sisters in Christ, the Lord has been good.

His blessings are endless, and his love is sufficient.

Yesterday, the refuge got new children.

They came here under the cover of night, as not to be detected.

They're so young, so physically ill.

So far, none of them have spoken.

Two of the older children I've named, Pedro and Charlie.

I think they're related.

Their health is frail.

But we're looking after them.

I do continue to miss my wife.

Her loss continues to make it hard for me to breathe.

Sometimes I feel like her love and tenderness is irreplaceable for these

children. But God is faithful, and as I pray, I ask for my beloved and celebrate

the new joys in my life as I celebrate her presence with the King of Kings.

I am... Donna, hurry, please, hurry.

Why? Someone just said they're going to play Twister.

Twister? Twister. Oh, no. Please, hurry, run.

We're running at full capacity here at the refuge.

The children spend most of their mornings in school and the afternoons

chores and sports.

English is still very popular to learn, so we have several tutors come over to

the refuge often.

Eight new professions of faith and five young men got baptized this month.

We are so delighted that all of them decided to follow Christ's example of

baptism.

I continue our medical ministry in the jungle.

Sickness fills the Amazon.

Meeting the physical needs of the people is still a wonderful passageway to

reaching these forgotten villages with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

We are still conducting our church services here at the refuge.

Many people from the town and nearby village attend here. The church is

and we are praying for a pastor, and we hope to have our church built across the

street soon.

On a darker side, the trafficking of children in Ecuador is big business.

The battle to rescue these children before they become enslaved or sold is

raging.

This is a spiritual war for these children.

Please pray that the darkness will not prevail, but the light of our Savior

continue to shine in Ecuador.

I am reminded so often of Paul's encouragement to Timothy.

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of

mind. Each day I'm learning that my faith in the power of God must be made

stronger than my thoughts of uncertainty.

God has a plan for us all.

We did complete construction on the sports field.

A dream made reality for my late wife.

In fact, we dedicated the field in her honor.

It was a lovely event.

Watching the little ones play brings gladness to my heart, and witnessing the

older children and hearing about their accomplishments for the kingdom was a

comfort to my soul.

For this, I remain the luckiest man alive, as your servant in Christ, Dr.

King.

I think God told me something.

God told you what?

To write him.

To write God.

No.

Well, God told me to tell you to stop eating my salad. Now go away, crazy

I'm serious.

Okay.

What are you talking about?

The letter.

What letter?

When I took from the church.

Well, it was to the church. But it was from a missionary.

So you stole a letter from a church.

Written by a missionary.

Yeah.

Where?

The old people's picture.

You know, the twister. The crazy one. Creepy one.

Never mind.

I'll never forgive you for that, by the way.

It's like the scriptures that he's got in here were written just for me. Listen

to this.

2 Timothy 1 .7 says, For God did not give us the spirit of fear,

but of power and of love.

And of a sound mind.

Okay.

Not fear, but love.

And don't forget, a sound mind, Donald.

Excellent. Who is it?

Dr. Westgate.

Well, it might be Westgate.

I don't know.

So are you going to write him?

I am going to write him.

You should.

Mm -hmm.

And he's a missionary.

Mm -hmm. Yes.

In Ecuador.

Ecuador. Mm -hmm. As in South America, Ecuador.

Yep.

Okay. Just be careful.

Of course.

You know me.

It's not like I'm going to move there or anything.

Enjoy your lunch. It was really good.

Okay,

let's pray.

Oh, before we pray, remember some Americans are coming this weekend to

the construction of the church.

No, remember we speak English at the dinner table.

Yes, you and Charlie will have to go into Albert's room.

Mel's coming.

Buenas noches, chicos.

Almost there, guys.

I've been here many times before.

We're almost there, Gary. Come on.

Almost there.

Oh, and here it is, el dulce refugio.

Let's go in.

Mel, nice to see you.

Good to see you.

Come in.

Welcome. Come in.

Welcome.

So how many kids live here, Dr. King?

Give or take 50, maybe 60.

Give or take?

Yeah, give or take.

So you've been here like 15 or 18 times or something, right?

I was here a lot through the summer during college.

This is Mel's home. I practically raised him. No offense to your mama.

It's gorgeous here.

I love the architecture and the rivers.

It's just gorgeous.

Thank you. My late wife and I designed it and built it.

In fact, we keep this chair open in honor of her at every meal.

Sorry for your loss, Dr. King.

Um, what is it?

Locro. Oh, not Locro.

Anaconda.

No, no, Mark. Boys, it's not Anaconda. Anaconda's too tough.

It's Stu.

It's perfectly safe. In fact, everything here is perfectly fine, guys. You're at

home.

Not that, though.

No, that's... When the Lord gave us this property, my wife and I would walk

it, oh, I don't know, every day, sometimes twice a day for almost a year

we built the orphanage.

God promised us he would protect us.

Two years ago.

Like I said, we did it ourselves.

Right after they built it?

The volcano erupted.

Took good agua.

Where?

Here? Yeah, I remember thinking, oh Lord, did I mishear you? Am I not doing

you asked?

But then I remembered the great men of the Bible.

Not that I would ever compare myself with those men, but nonetheless.

He never promised us the rose garden. He just promised us he would protect us,

even through the difficult times.

Isn't that so?

As believers, we should never live in fear.

God told me to never again fear a volcano.

If God be for me, who would be against me?

So tell me about this church. It's that property across the street, right?

Yes.

We so appreciate you guys coming to help us.

I'll have some church members and some of my kids coming to help you.

All right.

So where do you preach now?

Me?

You're a missionary, don't you preach?

Oh, no, I'm a doctor.

God just told me to build it.

He said he'd send a pastor.

I mean, our Bible studies are growing, but this village needs a pastor. That's

why God's allowing us to build the church.

But missionaries preach, right?

No, they share Christ, the love of Christ. Gary, right?

Yeah.

Not all missionaries are pastors or preach. Do you preach?

No. But you build, right?

When we become followers of Christ, we become missionaries, messengers.

A story. Many years ago, I became a doctor with the sole purpose of becoming

missionary. But I was mistaken because I was already a missionary.

I could have saved thousands of dollars in medical school.

Miss Patty, would you get this gentleman some bread and fruit?

We'll start you on that.

And you guys should get settled and get some rest.

Things get started awfully early around here in the morning.

The challenges you must face on a daily basis must test your faith in Almighty

God.

For He is our great provider.

He is our comfort.

He will be our strength.

I stand reminded of His abundant love and His steadfastness

as the great physician.

Hey. Yeah.

You should add a few verilies in there.

Oh, good point.

How many?

Always two.

They come in pairs.

Oh, no.

Linda? Yes?

I think I lost power.

Oh, just a minute.

I like these candles.

All right. Okay.

So no verilies. Okay.

Oh, no.

My letter.

Oh, no. Your letter, right?

Are you typing your letter? Of course.

Don't.

It sounds like a devotional. A bad devotional.

I'm sorry?

Reminded of God's abundant love and steadfast blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Are you making fun of me?

Yes.

But I love you.

Listen.

Get some paper.

Get a pen.

And write a letter.

Write from your heart.

Share with him.

Share you.

Thank you.

Good night.

Good night.

My heart.

I thought my life was over when my husband died.

I didn't know how I was going to live, how I would even face another day.

But then I thought about the rising of the sun.

God, creation, and just how much he still loved me.

You know, I could live without many things.

I could live a life alone, a life without dreams, a life without a

But I just couldn't live without him.

He is truly the heartbeat to all I do.

Hi, Dr. King. Hi, Mel.

Hey, listen, Barry, one of the guys, he had an idea.

I don't know if he can paint a mural or something for the church.

That's okay, I guess.

Don't you want to know what it is?

No, that's up to you.

Okay.

They still back there?

Yes, they are.

They seldom leave my side.

Bless their hearts.

You know, it's funny. In the jungle, death is real.

It's celebrated even more than life sometimes.

These kids have seen more death than most soldiers.

They understand death.

They just don't understand loss.

It's difficult teaching them that in God's kingdom there is no loss.

But one day they will see Brenda again.

Have you thought more about your church?

I don't know, Dr. King. I don't know. What should I think about it? I just

know.

Well, I pray the Lord will reveal his plan to you.

It's just that these people really need a pastor.

My son, Will, he and his wife have a passion.

For adopting children.

Well, I guess you do, too.

My daughter, Amy, comes over to check on me often.

Sometimes too often.

Mom! Mom!

Are you okay? Are you up yet?

In the kitchen, hon.

We lost power last night.

The storm or something.

I heard half the city was out.

Did you lose power?

Do you have the power now?

Yes. Good morning, darling.

Yes, we did lose power.

But as you can see, it's back on.

Coffee? I have plenty.

Dr. West King.

Ecuador. What's this?

Nothing.

I'll have to go to work.

Love you.

Dr.

Thicke? Mom.

Oh, hey, Will. Got some good news, Mom.

Sarah and I, we're adopting again.

Oh, that's wonderful, darling.

Yeah, we've been working with the International Adoption Agency.

Uh -huh. Darling,

eight -year -old little girl.

Her name's Tina. Mm -hmm.

She's from Colombia.

South America?

Well, yeah.

In Colombia, next to Ecuador.

Yeah, you should come with us.

Yeah, I might.

Well, listen, I gotta fix this mower.

But, uh, got it.

No good, Mom.

Yes.

I got it, babe.

I'll talk to you later.

is adopting again.

What is that, like 10?

No, it's 3.

Get this.

Columbia.

Sorry?

They're adopting a little girl from Columbia.

Columbia is in South America and is next door to Ecuador.

That's right. Sorry.

I'm thinking about going to visit him.

When?

Hello?

Hello, sir. Doctor.

My nephew, Dorian.

We can't take care of him.

That's why we want him to stay here.

Yes, of course.

Wait.

What's your name?

Dorian Franco.

And your parents?

They died.

I'm very sorry.

Let's go.

Can we take a look around here?

No, please.

Gracias. Gracias.

What's going on?

Well, this man is a city official, and the young man is Dorian.

His uncle can't take care of him anymore, so he's going to stay here with

Now he's a child of a king.

Hey, Jason.

You need to jack up that wall down there. I brought you something.

Got it? Yeah, I'm good.

Awesome.

Man, I've never seen workers like this.

And to be so little.

It's amazing.

You know, the Amazon's only about five miles from here.

What? You hear that?

Uh -uh.

Okay, it's 500 miles from here.

Well, we gotta go if it's that close.

You'll love it. Nah.

They got big spiders, boss.

That's right. Big spiders down that hole you're in right there.

Nah, nah, nah. Get back down there.

I'm going to go after Mel.

That's a good idea.

Come on, we'll all do it. It'll be fun. Oh, come on, boss.

Creo que son más de 30 niños.

Estos niños tienen que estar niños.

No te preocupes.

Todos esos niños van a ser tuyos.

Escuché que están construyendo una nueva iglesia al frente.

Varios estadounidenses están allí para construirla.

Esperaremos hasta que se vayan.

¿Y cuándo? Los niños estén solos.

Okay, that's enough for today.

Let's run to the field.

¿Qué pasa?

No pueden tener miedo.

¿Qué les dije?

Jesús está con nosotros.

Jesús está ahí.

¿Qué más?

No hay que tener miedo.

Está bien.

Y los amo con ambos mis queridos hijos.

Siempre...

Estaremos juntos.

Siempre porque tenemos a Jesús.

Siempre.

Ahora vayan a jugar.

Hey! Come on!

Come on!

Pedro and Charlie just left the classroom.

I think I told you about them.

They are still having a hard time adjusting.

Hi, Dr. King.

Hi, Mel. Dolph and Roberto.

We've been working at the church.

But they want to take the Americans to the jungle.

You want to come?

The Americans want to go?

What are you doing?

Writing a book?

It's just a note.

Why don't you use email?

That wouldn't be romantic.

Personal. I meant personal.

Romantic. I'll meet you in the courtyard in ten minutes.

Tell Miss Patty we're going and maybe start dinner a little later.

All right.

Thanks, Mel.

Okay, guys, this is very special.

This is the first village I came to when we first started our ministry in the

Amazon.

Very, very special.

They might even dance for us. That would be a treat.

They're going to feed you.

What?

I said they're going to feed you. If you don't eat and you put it down, that's

not a good idea. I don't think that's a good idea either.

Okay, dig in, guys.

It's like she has the perfect dimples.

Oh, did you get the pictures?

I did.

Let me see. Let me see. She's so cute, love.

Oh. Is that your brother? Yeah. Oh, let me talk to him.

Hey, well, she is so cute.

Yes, I'm looking at them right now.

Oh, honey, I am so excited for you and Sarah.

Yes. Well, yes, I'm going down to South America with you when you go get her.

Oh, honey.

Okay. I love you, Will.

Bye.

Look at that little face.

South America?

What's this?

That is none of your business.

Mom?

Okay, I'll translate.

Our father was a medicine man.

He had many wives, many children, but we were the only twins that we knew about.

Our mother was different, different from his other wives.

He was a very mean man, mean to her.

We were quickly cast out.

My brother and I were only five years old when his violence led to her death.

We had no one.

We traveled all over, slept here and there.

No food, no one to care for us because they were afraid of father.

We collected bugs to eat.

and slept in the rain until one day we decided to end our lives.

We knew of these berries in the forest that would put us to sleep, take us away

from this life to the next.

We took them. We took them all.

And we laid down on that rock right there under the waterfall.

I remember falling asleep, but then we woke up, and then

we saw it, the head of a giant anaconda that had come up out of the water beside

our heads.

We were sweating.

We had wanted to die, but not that way.

Then a light appeared over my head, and it got brighter and brighter into

the form,

of a man's face.

Not a jungle face, but a kinder face than I had ever expected to see.

He smiled at us and spoke words of love.

Te Amo, he said, I love you. I will always be with you.

And as his image faded, he kept speaking those words to us.

I love you.

I will always be with you.

I love you.

I will always be with you.

Okay, let's head back.

Let's head back.

Now, how did the boys end up at the orphanage?

Well, that's a funny story.

Several days later, the boys... It

was

a bus.

They literally attacked a bus.

See, the bus comes to town.

Then these two five -year -old boys, jungle boys, are hanging on top of it,

trying to eat the metal, right?

The police, they had no idea what to do with them.

So they brought them to me.

Now they have their own business.

They have wives and children.

They preach the gospel here in the Amazon several nights a week. All the

villages throughout, they're bringing Jesus to the jungle, to their people.

I think it's beautiful the way God planned that.

So they're going places you can't go.

Exactly. That's God's plan.

His plan, his timing.

Oh, timing.

This patty's going to kill us.

What are you asking me, Gloria?

You know, I promise.

Whatever it is, I'll do it.

I just need to know what it is.

Hi, can I help you? Hello.

My name's Mandy. I'm a real estate agent.

I just sold a house two doors down, and I have lots of buyers in this area

looking for houses just like yours. Have you ever thought about selling, maybe

looking for a new home?

Come on in.

I applaud your work, Dr. King, but moving these kids in the middle of the

seems a little suspicious.

Do you guys believe in demons?

Yeah.

Well, that was the hardest thing I had to learn when I first moved down here.

The powers of darkness are strong here.

You know how it says in Ephesians that we fight against principalities?

Well, this is a principality.

All the tribal worship, voodoo, medicine, demonic oppression.

and just plain evil men.

It's all over the place here.

And it preys on these little children.

That's why we call ourselves The Refuge.

The Sweet Refuge.

Adios, children!

Dr. King.

Adios!

I'll be praying for you. Adios!

Goodbye, Dr. King. I love you, man.

We don't say goodbye around here.

We'll be seeing you soon, Big G.

All right. Daddy made you some cookies.

Awesome.

This place means the world to me.

I will be back.

And I'm going to keep praying that God calls you to be a preacher.

God bless you.

Bell, Bell, my book bag. It has my passport in it. I can't find it.

Joaquin, here we have a registration order.

We're going to check the whole place.

What's going on?

We received a complaint from one of your children.

What did they do? They didn't.

You did.

You, take them to the field.

Sir,

out!

What are you doing back?

Cargos de abusos en contra del doctor.

Maybe there's some abuse charges against the doctor.

They might even take the kids away.

It's been two hours.

There is such a thing as due process.

They have no right to be in there searching your property. You need to

the embassy because this is serious.

Hey, hey, hey, where are you taking him? Now, ask them.

That child is in Dr. King's custody. We demand to know where you've taken him.

Dr. King, I'm an international attorney.

I have years of experience with Ecuadorian law.

I want you to understand how very serious this is.

They are basically accusing you of abusing a child.

That's not possible.

The presumption is that this young boy, Dorian, we've only had him a few days,

his uncle Brademan from Colombia.

Yes. I'd say that it's him that made the complaint, as they've taken him.

That's safe to say.

So, what do we do?

You have to leave, Dr. King.

What? No, wait, what about the other children?

What? What other children?

Forget it.

If the police continue this investigation, and they will, they're

you up until they complete their inquiries.

As

I

was saying, if you are not here...

As I was saying, if you're not here, then they can't arrest you, can they?

You have to leave now. But I didn't do anything.

Well, I believe you.

And I'll try and clear things up.

But it's going to take time.

Here in Ecuador, they don't honor...

What you might call due process.

I'm not leaving my home.

What about my boys?

Well, you can't really be any use to them in jail, can you?

A Ecuadorian jail, it's not a pleasant place, I can assure you.

Dr. King, you have very little rights here.

I'd get out.

I have some work I can do in Colombia.

I'll stay here with the kids, Dr. King.

Me too.

I'm not going anywhere.

Yeah, and I can stay for a couple days.

I'm going to have to go back.

I can help clear this up better from the States anyway.

Maybe we can get the State Department to work with you.

You need to tell him everything.

Oh no, I can't.

And you can't either.

Promise me.

Let's go pack a bag.

No se preocupe, Dr. King.

Dios está a sus espaldas.

Mi hijo.

Adiós.

Miss Patty.

Who is this?

Te amo.

Te amo.

These two.

Mis hijos.

Te amo, mis hijos.

Te amo.

Yes, señor.

Everything is in order, so it's only that she needs to stay three days more.

Sí, está bien. Solo tiene que quedar tres días más.

What is it?

Well, she has to stay a few more days here.

We can't take her out of Colombia until Sunday.

It's okay, mom.

The adoption agency said that this might happen.

Yeah. She's ours.

She's really ours.

Well, you know, you don't really need me hanging around for three days.

I have a friend in Ecuador, a missionary.

You know, I've been thinking about visiting.

Mom.

This is not the type of... Honey, I'll be fine.

A suitcase?

Yeah, well, you never know.

I'll see you in three days.

Oh, my.

Gracias. How are you?

Dr. K. What are you doing here?

Is there a place we could talk in private?

Um, sure.

What's going on?

No, I heard about the raid on the refuge.

Yeah. That was just a big mix -up.

There's nothing to worry about.

So, what are you doing here?

You know that kid?

Yeah.

This has nothing to do with him.

I figured that.

Dorian.

What's going on with him? Is he okay?

I don't know.

Think you can find out?

I'll see what I can do.

I'll try.

Something you need to know.

I never wanted any harm to come to you or the refuge.

It's just that I wanted to... Listen, I know.

I know.

You've saved hundreds of children from the jungles, from the streets.

We.

We.

That's dangerous work, my friend.

I'm just grateful you brought some of them to me.

I thank you for that.

You know they're out to shut you down.

And take your children.

And steal your property.

No, that's not my property.

And those children, they're children of a king.

A great king. A powerful king.

Bigger than them.

Much bigger than this king.

What can I do?

You just keep protecting the children.

And I'll find a place for them.

All of them.

All of them?

All of them

Hola.

Estoy buscando al Dr.

West King.

Can I help you?

Is this the sweet refuge?

Yes, it is.

I'm Donna Dick from America.

I'm friends with Dr.

King.

Come on, come on.

Is Dr.

King here?

No, he's not right now. Oh.

Will he be gone long?

Hey,

let me go get Mel. Oh.

Mel! Mel!

Hola. ¿Quién?

¿Meo?

Hello.

Hola.

My name is... Arturo. Arturo.

Si?

Mi nombre... Si?

Donna.

Donna. Donna.

From America.

Si?

Hi, Mel. Donna, right? Yes, yes.

Was Dr. King expecting you?

You know, um...

really know.

I mean, I was writing him letters and he was writing me back. And, you know, I

told him several letters ago that I was thinking about traveling to South

America.

You can see my son and his family have adopted a little girl in Columbia.

And you know what? I haven't I haven't really heard back from him.

Have you heard from him?

As a matter of fact, it's been several weeks.

But, you know, I thought I would surprise him, I guess, but I don't

him.

You know what? I'm sorry. Just tell him I came by. He told me about you.

He did? Yes. Your letters are sitting on his desk waiting for his return.

My letters?

Yes. Oh.

Well,

will Dr.

King be gone long?

We do not know.

Is he okay?

No, he's fine.

Oh, good.

You see, several weeks ago, the orphanage was raided by the police.

There were serious accusations made against the doctor.

Accusations of abuse.

He was advised to leave the country for his own protection.

He's now in Colombia, waiting for his issue to be resolved so he can return to

the country and continue working at the orphanage.

Meanwhile, the lawyers are working on his case here.

So this is our dining area, our kitchen. This paddy is over there where we cook.

And down this side we have our bedroom.

So how

was

your

flight? It was good. It was long.

It was so long that you grew that entire beard during the flight. I did. That's

a really long flight.

Well,

I've got something for you.

It's a surprise.

What is it?

That's a cell phone. So that means that I can call you anywhere, anytime,

anywhere that you are in this world.

Look at that.

So what's going on?

Oh, South American politics, corruption, orphan children, drug cartels. So the

usual, that's it.

You okay?

I'm good.

What is it that you always told me?

God's got your back?

Hey, thank you, Dr. Paul.

It kind of reminds me of the...

You remember the woman from the funeral, Anita?

Sure.

What's her deal?

That was the first orphanage where your mother and I served.

We just found her in the streets and took her in.

She was, oh, defiant, I guess would be the word.

We raised her until she reached about 14 or so when she was adopted.

You know, she was the only child who ever insisted we teach her English.

She was determined.

Well, she emailed me. She wanted to get in touch with you.

I told her you still don't have an email because you don't have an email. Of

course not.

There you go.

I'll give the subject line.

God's got your back. Look at that.

Now you should call her.

She thinks the world of you. And it says there that she's got business in South

America.

Are you reading my letter?

That's my email.

So technically you're reading my letter that is addressed to you.

the beard that's just something different well it's definitely different

definitely definitely different you uh are you getting back on a plane soon

yeah a few hours actually you know of course you are this refuge was

our lives and your mother and i put so much

I just, I don't want you or your sister to...

Oh, that explains the beard, I think. Just give me one of those, like, as a

reflection on my life. I feel guilty for this speech. Come on.

No, I just... Man, you are a wonderful father.

Fantastic.

To me, to everyone here, to everyone at the refuge.

Yeah, it's hard to share you sometimes, but then, I mean, it's worth it.

Worth it?

Yeah.

No question.

Where are you going?

Heaven.

Well, yeah, Dad, I sure hope so. Someday.

Not right now. Where are you going to go tonight on the plane in a few hours?

I met someone.

In Ecuador?

Nebraska.

What are you, online dating?

Online dating? No.

Yeah.

She wrote me.

I'm kind of online dating, I guess. Well, good.

Hey, I say go for it. Good for you.

Well, she doesn't know I'm coming.

I'm not gonna... I don't know.

What?

We had been writing, and then something happened at the orphanage that made me

think I have nothing to offer.

I mean, she's a doctor. She has a practice.

Hey, you're a doctor. You have a practice. Yeah, not like that.

Yeah, exactly like that.

Oh, God.

Hey, look.

Mom was an absolutely wonderful, wonderful, wonderful mom.

She was. And you guys together made the best team. But she's gone.

She's gone now, and you have an awful lot more life to live.

So if the greatest man that I have ever known thinks that he's going to have a

pity party right here, that's just not going to happen.

No chance.

Nebraska?

Nebraska.

Oh, hi. Are you my 9 a .m.?

Come on in.

Thank you.

Let me show you around.

It was Mr... Uh, Wes. Call me Wes. Here's the sheet.

I have to tell you, I have been showing this house non -stop. It is a gorgeous

home. Great neighborhood.

Why is she showing?

I really have no idea. I think to travel more. Not sure.

The owner's actually out of the country now.

Out of the country where?

Oh, South America or something, I think.

Thank you. I'm not interested.

Well, I am interested.

Hey Mel, can you tell me where you keep these? Oh, no, no, no.

Colors and whites.

Don't mix in the wash.

Okay.

Those boys, they are so sweet.

And innocent.

So, you ever thought of being a missionary?

Me?

Have you ever thought about being a pastor?

Hello?

Wesley.

I'm so glad to hear from you.

Are you okay?

I mean, I haven't heard from you for quite some time.

Oh.

I got here yesterday.

You're where?

I was in Columbia.

Yesterday.

Oh, my goodness. Are you kidding?

I was at the orphanage.

Yes, I was there.

Still can't believe that we were there at the same time.

Those children are so sweet.

You should meet my little granddaughter.

I can't wait till she comes home.

Speaking of coming home, it would be nice to see you.

I know.

I know.

It would be nice to see your face.

I want to come home.

You can't come back now. Not now.

If God be for me, who can be against me?

The Ecuadorian police?

The drug cartel?

No match against my God.

Plus, he told me to come back.

Who?

God.

All right.

I pray. I mean, I pray a lot.

Does he talk to you?

Of course.

Of course he does.

Okay.

Later this afternoon.

It is later this afternoon.

Okay, sorry.

The sun's going to go down behind the mountain.

I want you to go outside.

Take the second walking path down to the soccer field. About halfway down,

there's a bench.

God will meet you there.

He always meets me there.

Just ask.

He'll be there.

Okay. I will.

Okay bye.

Bye.

Hello.

Please sit.

Do you live here?

No.

I just really wanted to see you.

Yeah, you sent my son an email.

When I heard about Mrs. King, it was one of the saddest days of my life, I

think.

She meant so much to me, the two of you.

Dr. King, I'm so grateful.

I am who I am today because of you and your wife.

Oh, I... No, let me finish.

I remember.

You picked me.

I remember.

After the funeral, my company has a lot of resources as well.

We looked you up in Ecuador and made some inquiries.

You're a long ways from Ecuador, Dr. King.

I had some issues at the orphanage.

I know.

What do you mean you know?

Don't worry, Dr. King.

You sent the guy, the lawyer.

Dr. King, I have everything that life has to offer.

But it means nothing.

Do you know why?

Why?

Because when I was a little girl, you gave me hope.

And that hope changed my life.

That hope is the heartbeat of all that I do.

And what do you do?

This is the guy.

I'm sorry that you were wrongly accused.

And I'm sorry that you felt you needed to leave Ecuador.

But you must go back, Dr. King.

All the wrongs have been fixed.

God's got your back.

Just like that?

We know about the kids you've been saving.

You interfered with some evil men. Some very evil men.

But we removed those men.

Go back, Dr. King.

I've got your back.

I do not know what to say.

They'll keep saving eight -year -old children.

They need you.

Goodbye, Dr. King.

I love you.

I love you.

Heavenly Father, is this where you want me to be?

Is this what you want me to do?

You want me.

The God of all creation wants me.

No, Father.

Thank you.

Thank you for my life.

Thank you for my children, my husband.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you for giving me life.

A new life.

A new plan.

What's going on?

I don't know. I don't know. They haven't told me.

Venimos a proteger la propiedad al Dr. King y a los niños.

They're here to look after the property, the king and the children.

I don't want any weapons around the children. No,

no, nada.

Absolutamente nada. No weapon. Ningún armamento. Nada, no.

¿Qué está pasando?

Dr. King está bien.

Tenemos abogados, agentes federales, y mañana se soluciona todo en la corte.

Todo. He said he's okay.

They got lawyers, federal agents.

Everything will be okay tomorrow.

Thank you, Lord.

Dios está cuidando sus espaldas.

God is covering his back.

You know what?

Truly was an incredible spirit -filled day.

Yeah, God showed up. Well, the devil lost again.

I'm coming home.

Oh, Wes.

He's got your back.

Are you going to be there when I get there?

Of course.

I'm home.

You know...

I remember when I was a little girl, my parents took me to the camp of the

living water somewhere in Oregon.

I remember I didn't want to go.

There was this missionary that came.

You know, it spoke about being a missionary.

He talked about jungles and hothouses.

I remember thinking right then and there.

I want to go there.

I remember telling God, I want to be a missionary.

Missionary Jim?

That's right.

You're from Oregon.

How many of you guys have heard of the Amazon?
