A story comes to us from the little town of Knoll Missouri where there's a church that has an expected amount of immigrants attending peers pastor Josh Manning and his wife Lauren with the story. My name is Josh Manning and lying on a divan – nearly 20 years. So where were come along, I did 20 years at Walmart housing Assistant Manager and so you work crazy hours. I mean, you know, 15 days and I will at times. I remember doing that 12 hour shifts. A lot of those kind of things he was at Walmart. Constantly we went in our life, in which he works.

And as so for a lot of years. There we were, you know that's that's all we were doing is I was us bringing home a paycheck and Margo's home and was never quite fulfilled.

I just never had this feeling that we were doing what God called us to do always said God has something for us guys going to do something with SNI five. What does that mean we have little kids we had twins and tears later had another baby. So we had three kids under three. I was 28 trying to homeschool three cans as they grew, and Josh not being around and trying to be entered to do the right things is a difficult season. We decided through that decided that it was time for us to do something and follow the great commission time I pastor was. I would consider great commission preacher is about sending. He was about missions and I never really truly heard a pastor that was so clear and direct.

I don't know.

It clicked with us. I think it clicked on the same time when you great-aunt absolutely. It was like well we had. We were watching him his preaching. We were watching a young family for my church sell everything they own and moved to Peru in the jungles Lake set up little churches down the Amazon River in a brightest and the Amazon River and disciple.

The pastors there and this is a family rage. It just just blew us away and we got to the church that family just left so we we need even see them and didn't know them but knew their story to the whole church is talking about it and that was hugely impactful. The other thing was Lauren made me go to see David Platt speak and I know anything about this guy that he was talking about about the concept of just going that that is the concept of the gospel is as you hear the truth and you go and tell the truth I mean that's basic premise and so it impacted us greatly and so close to and in our faithful teaching of a very good pastor.

Those three just really just pushed us in that position.

We did know where we were going to go but we knew that we were going to share the gospel. Whatever whatever means that we had. We were going to do so as boldly and loudly is what we we could possibly do and we found out there was a church in Knoll Missouri that the pastor had left throwing up his hands and discussed ran screaming as many other pastors had their blunt what the main industry is in the entire County and in that town is the poultry industry and so what happened was is of course she had these these farmers low smalltime farmers that can have chicken houses but to have workers in a very County to be able to work the plants they just there isn't any.

And so probably about 25 years ago. 30 years ago in that ballpark Hispanic population started to move in and then relatively more recent times, we start to get refugees from all over the world. Knoll has extremely diverse population. There's 30 nations birthing account 2000 people. There's 10 languages that, in my estimation are large enough to having church functioning and so you have large families refugee population living limited English skills and so it's a very challenging place to present the gospel, but in some ways it served up for you in a silver platter because you know where to go to catch these people you don't plan so I became pastor of a church that had two primary languages English speaking of course Scott Karen from you is also called Birmingham have heard that they had been in Civil War for the longest running Civil War since World War II. Yeah they been in Civil War when we found out they were from Burma. We referred to as the Burmese people and that is not something you should do because the Burmese government attacks these little Josh can tribes. Yeah, I can and eight seconds on their own country will fight against them so they are very proud to be Karen and Danny have a Buddhist background Christian so there's there's kind of a hodgepodge of religions within the Karen people in our church faithfully to preach the gospel and so not all.

They don't necessarily know English in our church that we have a translator necessarily a Christian mix of different religions that we as translators for the parents and God bless this be on our wildest dreams. Now it's four years later there are five independent services operating in our building.

We have service you know all day long from 10 in the morning till nine at night frequently on Sunday in five separate languages attempting to start services in other languages as well, and we still have no idea what were doing that God continues to bless city spider our idiocy and you been listening to Josh and Lauren Manning eating the call and following your heart following their God and doing essentially the turnaround when we come back more of this remarkable story here on our American story.

It can seem confusing, but it doesn't have to be UHC Medicare health plans.com to learn more United healthcare helping people live healthier lives, and we returned to our American stories and pastor Josh Manning and his wife Lori story of operating a church in the small town of mole is many of her guns call home and call his church in such a rush as five different services five different languages at his church using interpreters to spread the gospel in the process. Why do these immigrants, especially the current people for me and more start attending Knoll community Baptist Church. Let's continue with the story will have a whole lot of prior information that one little segment. We do know is that John and that we live in such a gracious man named Mike Brown saw the refugees coming into the town.

He saw the changing demographics. He saw the potential nations are coming to us. Let's reach out to the nations was not set here in here and get to know them and so he went to I think he just randomly went to the Karen scene right there. I'll sleep on the ground, manager, so Mike talked to the people at the church at that time. Let's find mattresses for every Karen family dead and they made a relationship with them and they started going fishing together, they started hanging out little by little, they said populating the church. While I translator is needed because the sermon became bilingual and so I translator him and he stepped up and became the translator.

He is also the liaison at Tyson for the Karen people so he translates for a living.

Excellent excellent audit and mining so father my translator game and this guy's just the American dream on steroids :-) so gets captured by the Burmese army him and said her six other men, seven in total, and he was given the job of walking in front of the Army to set off landmines and so he's captured in a minute was just a baby.

If I understand right at that point. So he's away from home. He's a long ways away after about a year. There's only him and one other guy left.

They were in a tiger pit at night. They overheard that they were going to get executed. The next morning so mining so gets out a tiger pit runs through the jungle comes back to the family there. United and they are out of their takes quite a bit of time to very very rugged terrain to they arrive in a refugee camp in Thailand once they're there, you basically have a 500 acre area how large it is fenced off amen described it as on your third offense leaving this area you were shot on site was illegal to learn the local language had limited opportunity, limited educational opportunities limited everything you were just there gathering dust in a handmade hut any rate over time they get the opportunity come the United States. They do so. So this guy came to the United States.

Almost every Midwest relatively poor place itself got really just 1 Main Rd. going through town half the businesses are shuttered were losing our bank that we just had to go pick up this safe deposit box from the for the church is the bank is even leaving town and what he's done his family's extraordinary. His kids are going to college other have aspirations of being doctors and lawyers and all those kinds of things and they are smart enough. They're going to accomplish it. He purchased a house paid off in three years after purchase. Put significant down cash because he saved up enough money to do it. They have trucks and cars and they become US citizens, and they do all these kind of things that that you would hope in your wildest dreams that someone would do. Coming to the United States that just a condition where the gospel is an action and every Sunday he's gonna bring his family to church. Now he's a guy that's probably my age or older. Learning the English language is going to be a challenge, and so there is five in which it preached in every Sunday and a Spanish English juke Marshall Islands and Karen but there are going to be just like in my service you're going to have a one person who speaks a different dialect, the Karen that's not preached in I think nine nations of birth is my record for our service and they were talking like 60 people and it's it's a challenge just because even if you can communicate even through the child to an adult back and forth you miss enough nuances that some of this stuff ends up being confusion very different on how time works, and so on. My job is kind of like be the central hub and make sure there's not like to services trying to do the same. Different things in the same spot at the same time ask about how you just have to be insanely flexible and very comfortable with not knowing what you're doing next week.

These cultures honestly, I swear they they decide five minutes before they're doing it may organize 100 people meet in the church building and you don't know what to expect in gospel day Marshall Islands spoke very well been there a few weeks and it was late evening. 6789 Lookout and I think Claire our daughter was the first to say mom there is 6 foot boat is sailing ship replica being pushed into the gym were talking like Christopher Columbus with that kind of wooden sailing boat and they got inside the gym and they pushed it in and we are looking at Facebook live and members of the church and they're all like dancing around this wooden boat what is happening is like 10, 11, and I was late, early in the neighbors.

I think all my goodness you neighbors will shoot as well. What is happening.

The music is so loud didn't know what tarnation was happening. Turns out it's called gospel day and what they do is they celebrate when the missionaries first came to their island and how they do that is, they bring a a replica of the wooden sailing ship that came to their island.

They fill full of food and toiletries and stuff like that. The needy in their community pass out and they dance and sing and it's the most beautiful gospel centric wonderful thing ever. But what it looks like is if you're the pastor the church and the parsonage is you got hundred plus people dancing around the gym playing music really, really loud and know to midnight. You know, and on a school night school the next morning, and so that that's that's the type of life we have to be very, very, very, very, very flexible, very bilious thing I've learned is never going back to how I worship God before I'm not being a follower of Christ means that it permeates every aspect of how you live your life as you pair for the next only reason that the moment of salvation.

You're not whisked away to heaven. At that moment is because we have a job to do and that's to teach others about Christ and we should be busying about with that possibility in this dynamic of what we have just here in our backyard is one the most enjoyable things I've ever done in my life just the absolute honor to be able to preach Christ in this environment is something I've never had before and I'm not going back to worshiping God. Where I sit on a pew at this time.

On Sunday, and then at the minute that this clock strikes noon. I'm out of there going the restaurant and I've done my duty for the week. That's not what were live her life. Doesn't mean they'll be pastors, church the day I die. It may very well be that, but whatever we do to follow Christ in every aspect that we can do a great job by Monty Montgomery on the production but I love the line. Josh said the nations are coming to us. Let's not live in fear. Let's get to know and serve our faith in action story, so many great stories in this great country of people of all faiths serving God dear on our American story doing household chores can Artie be time-consuming and tedious.

Now it's time for another story from one of the Smith loosely told her story of how they navigated through an ethical dilemma over billion dollar business dear Sean, talking about what he thought about wealth, money and success when he was young, a little embarrassed to say that I think it's very easy for people to keep score by way so when I was goals all centered around economics is easy to point score, calling it a point. So if you are successful business you measured by an economic cancel. I didn't set out in a high score in college to say hey you know, one of Trotta Lake other people success for Trotta group needy people in their pursuit of their capture activity usually self self focused. How can I measure success economically and where to the economic spectrum and so I knew what those goals were and I knew that that was probably not going get me there working for somebody else to be totally can know if it was a very self focused monetary focus number and so I knew that for me to get to certain goal by 30.

I myself and our goal is to be annoying or fine and have $1 million in a bank accounts are not soft you know like I wanted a millionaire by age 30, I knew that it would be hard if I just try to say to by age 30 because with taxes and all that it would be not have to make millions after taxes, so I knew that I wanted Norm and I knew that way to get to be a millionaire by 30 would be as set out and fortunately we blew through our numbers and then say Teresa is reset the number and I have someone speak to a group of executives at one point was it was really extreme eye-opener for me and the person speaking about scorekeeping and there's no three types of people. There's people that live in the future. There's people live in the now and there's people live in the past and so people live in the past you the best days of something that happened in history so they were the high school start this superstar in college are the most popular college dust that they believe God's what defines them, and that by people that are in the now and they just really are in the moment so you know they're not always looking another phone present with you. They see the leaves blowing they see the weather there very very aware of not only themselves but their surroundings in the future and those people are always looking for something that's going to and so when you look at these three people. These three types of people, now people are very happy because a person people in the past.

I don't see them miserable but they are the least happy because you are history is being there most defining moment whether most promising moments people in the future are close to the people in the now because most people are limited future for something. Not a lot of people living in the future like really typically like, you know, there's not excited about, and so I tend to be a future type living person. So when I had the speaker speaking and they were talking about the scorekeepers in society, which are those that measure success by a score. Those people are typically not very happy because they always raise the score board and I saw myself doing a little bit so you millionaire by age 33.

Reset this recent so this makes no sense for me this measure success by economic advantage or in economics. You know how I live my life in so my life Michael is force 400 that was really important. I still believe I could get there only focused on what does not matter to me, not so much what matters more to me is leaving a legacy that's really important for those around me, all focused on his next score. The next financial objective. I guarantee you going just push a little harder and made a little at the expense of how much it cost. So in my 20s. Patients like vacations they'd help my score like a vacation. I was not working, which meant I was spending which meant I wasn't saving, which meant I was 1,000,030 so you know raising scoreboards is fine as long as you have a balance so for me the scoreboard wasn't just all about you and not probably so start having family and even a little later probably when I caught maybe 40 years old and I started asking myself, what is this all about working for myself working for some kind of title looking for some type of recognition really working for purpose. And what is the purpose that's where we spent our time with and what impact is our legacy is not what I die with my legacies, my kids behave as good citizens with a purpose not a soft feeling purpose driven around life and not just can really impact their kids and their kids, so can we continue to pass down generation to generation.

A vision for the family. This value further enrich themselves and enrich others. And if you can have impact on on folks that don't otherwise have requirements that were growing up. You know, Mike is lunch today.

My kids don't worry about whether not they have Internet school Internet gain totally different environments. When I hear that you're worried about the speed of your Internet so you can stream you know you cannot. Again, other kids are trying to figure out where the wife have web communication so they can deal with online schooling markets keep those things in perspective and special thanks to Joey and Alex.

Thanks to Sean Smith sharing his story. That's what happens in life folks that word success is defined, you will find your better off finding the word marriage made business partner in money or some other status benchmark miserable to guarantee Linda and we love to tell stories of his that's how we walked into the problems in her life is how do we define these words of God driving really fancy car and think what DSO maybe just wanted to drive that car and by the way others do their charitable work, and investing together formed so there interested in working with families as well other family.

If you're working past age 65. You might be able to delay Medicare enrollment. Depending on your employer coverage. It can seem confusing, but it doesn't have to be UHC Medicare health plan's.com to learn more United healthcare helping people live healthier lives with our American stories next Madison brings us a story from the Faneuil Frank is the CEO and founder of toxins which extracts high volumes of snake and scorpion venom for the production of the story of how we got involved in his unique career. So I grew up in northeastern Wisconsin and about six years old, I became just obsessed with reptiles and that was because a neighbor had given me old Peterson Field guide. I would flip through go out and try to find all the animals that were in region that were in their and it just started a lifelong passion for these animals in those field guides as a child. There were pictures of a type of snake called coral snake that absolutely fascinated me and I always said one day and work with them in about 2011 I started keeping coral snakes and I was keeping a type of coral snake that was incredibly rare. I was the only one keeping them in the United States at the time and scientists from Australia had seen that on Facebook and said can you provide me some samples of it was really learning under fire, which I would never recommend anyone gentlemen who had been producing venom since the 60s, took me under his wing and worked with me on safety what I needed to do to be able to do that and we did lead to a very successful scientific publication.

Then the question was, what else can you provide.

So it turned into providing from 100 different species. One time grew very quickly and that led into providing venom to pharmaceutical companies and that's now our main source of revenue, providing thousands for Asia, Middle East, South America, and all of Africa. The process is really quite simple and it's been done the same way for a very long time you take a sterile vessel you put a membrane over the top that the animal can bite into and from there we grab and restrain the animal. Now a snake is at its most desperate situation when you're grabbing typically their first instinct is to flee, one of the last instances to use their phone so we try to be gentle and some of the are intelligent enough to know the process is happening so a lot of them know what to expect and we try to condition them by. They give their venom they get fed right after. So it's almost like a reward so they bite naturally into the vessel and release their bottom and from there it goes into a purification process and then it's turned into a freeze-dried powder and that's how the scientists around the world and the pharmaceutical companies use toxins in 2011 and its beginning years. It was very small on the snow in the community even knew was there in 2016 and toxins became a high production for felony and gain a lot more attention. It's become an enormous success with the community treated with most level of respect by the city by its residents. We have a very serious level of preparedness here with the fire department with the police department. The local hospitals know us are states poison control. Moses, because if you can imagine Wisconsin poison control getting a call that someone's been bitten by a black mamba or king cobra. The first thing to do is roll your eyes assume it's not anything like that so one day I was extracting from several black mamas and rest a finger on their nose.

So I had that animal in my hand pressing on its nose and I lifted the animal before I lifted my finger and I actually lacerated my finger with the snakes friend so any time that you believe you've been snake bit.

You know, the first rule is get to the hospital as quickly as possible and of course we have the evening on hand but basically I waited to see because that animal had just released its bottom that I get any venom in my system and my okay will and I started to lose control of my tongue and my eyelids and eyes were drinking. I was salivating and so then we got to the hospital I received four vials of and went home that evening and had dinner with my family wasn't the first accident had with it's a little ironic and then actually kind of funny despite the severity of it. But in 2015 I was extracting venom from a snake from Africa called the stiletto snake and we were doing these extractions to do a scientific paper that proved that there is no answer evening that can be used to treat that bite and I had my right hand placed in the wrong place at the wrong time and I actually accidentally pushed my finger on to explain and we had to take what's called the flight for life are emergency helicopter down to a huge hospital in the southern part of the state, and of course we knew there was nothing that could treat it so it was all pain management for 48 hours in ICU but it still makes me laugh that we knew we couldn't be treated where we are with the nation. We have a very strict thing that we actually another veteran producer used that we adopted, which is the safe pilots checklist so we go through that checklist, but before I walk in that room. I like to remind myself that we don't want it to happen again which it will eventually be another bite. It's just the nature of the business, but to prevent that to keep my family from having to go through with me. This hurts a lot of people's feelings. But snakes don't have a part of the brain that shows emotion or connection lizards to become bonded to their keepers and things like that snakes can't do that.

It's all about. How tolerant is that animal be now there's a lot of YouTube stars right now. People that want to be like Steve Irwin and educate, but they'll take these deadly animals and they'll handle them in a very reckless way.

Actually it's it's not a matter of if but when they're going to get bitten and it's going to be ugly. One of them on extremely close friends with his young daughter and every time he would post a video doing something stupid with a dangerous animal.

Send him a picture of his daughter because just because you have. It doesn't mean you're out of the woods. There can be lots of secondary infection.

You could be bitten by one of these snakes and it turns out you had a pre-existing condition. You never knew about the next thing you know you're on dialysis. It's it's not worth it, but the general public loves it because they believe their senior bond between an animal and a person and that's it's not scientifically possible.

When you asked what you do for a living in your ear is extracted from deadly animals. You can variety every action one is are you serious and why would you want to do that job. People are really interested in the back story allows visitors to come and see for themselves were not like any others I feel that in our educational center that that sparks a whole different level of interest and investment from the kids that are watching us from behind the glass and stuff. It's just pure because these kids are nose to nose with cobra's mom was rattlesnakes. What we want to see are more people working in conservation more people starting to find more legitimate and additional uses. That's kind of our goal just in Africa alone. There's hundreds of thousands of bytes a year.

A large number of antivenom for Africa is donated and I've been fortunate enough to see him save people's lives over there it's a humbly experience to be a part of something that were were very proud of.
