Downloadable copy of the Falling Plates Script

Script to the FallingPlates video

#FallingPlates is on YouTube and it is going global. Almost daily, international emails come to me requesting additional subtitles / closed captions in their own language so they can share it with their friends.

I've been crowd sourcing the translation work by involving volunteers to do the translating.

The script is short - only 189 words.

If you have a language you'd like included in the closed captions, it is very quick and simple.

1) Email me at: FallingPlatesVideo@gmail.com
2) I'll email you back a link to a Google Doc where you can quickly enter the new translation.
3) I'll post it to YouTube as a new transcript.

0:00:07.200,0:00:09.000
You.

0:00:09.000,0:00:10.900
Look at your eyes.

0:00:10.900,0:00:12.200
Look at them.

0:00:12.200,0:00:14.100
Speckled.

0:00:14.100,0:00:17.000
Colorful.

0:00:17.000,0:00:19.000
Each one unique.

0:00:19.000,0:00:22.000
And I created every one of them.

0:00:23.000,0:00:25.100
I created -- everything.

0:00:25.100,0:00:27.000
The universe.

0:00:27.000,0:00:28.500
And you.

0:00:29.000,0:00:31.000
I gave you your personality.

0:00:34.000,0:00:36.000
I made you pure.

0:00:36.900,0:00:38.300
Complex.

0:00:39.500,0:00:41.300
And every day

0:00:41.300,0:00:43.200
I give you life.

0:00:44.000,0:00:45.800
I love you.

0:00:46.600,0:00:48.500
But something happened.

0:00:50.000,0:00:51.800
You cheated on me.

0:00:53.200,0:00:55.000
You didn't trust me.

0:00:56.500,0:00:57.500
You sinned.

0:00:57.500,0:01:00.000
[Falling plates crashing]

0:01:03.900,0:01:06.500
You cut yourself off from me.

0:01:06.500,0:01:09.500
And although you're still alive...

0:01:09.500,0:01:11.200
you are slowly dying.

0:01:13.800,0:01:15.500
So you looked for other things...

0:01:18.000,0:01:19.500
[happiness]

0:01:20.100,0:01:21.300
[sex]

0:01:21.400,0:01:23.100
To fill the void.

0:01:25.000,0:01:27.000
But nothing works.

0:01:30.000,0:01:31.000
[Falling plates crashing]

0:01:31.900,0:01:34.000
It just kills you faster.

0:01:34.800,0:01:37.000
And it separates us more and more...

0:01:37.000,0:01:38.100
[Falling Plates crashing]

0:01:42.100,0:01:43.800
What are you searching for?

0:01:44.000,0:01:44.800
[acceptance]

0:01:46.000,0:01:46.700
[intimacy]

0:01:47.800,0:01:49.000
[love]

0:01:57.500,0:02:00.100
[Falling plates crashing]

0:02:01.100,0:02:03.000
I don't want you to die.

0:02:04.700,0:02:06.400
I created you.

0:02:06.500,0:02:08.300
Not to be destroyed.

0:02:09.000,0:02:11.000
But to know me.

0:02:11.900,0:02:14.000
So I became one of you.

0:02:15.000,0:02:17.200
A fragile creation.

0:02:18.900,0:02:20.700
I was tempted.

0:02:22.300,0:02:24.100
But I never sinned.

0:02:26.000,0:02:28.100
I came to save you.

0:02:29.100,0:02:31.300
You have so many sins.

0:02:31.500,0:02:33.500
And they have a cost.

0:02:33.500,0:02:35.900
Someone has to die.

0:02:35.900,0:02:37.000
You --

0:02:37.000,0:02:38.400
or Me.

0:02:38.900,0:02:41.000
So I took on your sin.

0:02:42.400,0:02:45.000
And traded in my life for yours.

0:02:46.800,0:02:48.400
And I died,

0:02:48.400,0:02:51.000
in your place.

0:02:53.000,0:02:56.000
Because I love you.

0:02:57.800,0:02:59.200
Then --

0:03:14.700,0:03:16.800
I rose from the dead.

0:03:17.400,0:03:19.800
I am the Way.

0:03:19.800,0:03:21.000
The Truth.

0:03:21.000,0:03:22.500
And the Life.

0:03:22.500,0:03:24.600
I am Jesus.

0:03:25.600,0:03:28.000
I'm not here to condemn you.

0:03:28.300,0:03:30.700
I came to bring you back to life.

0:03:32.000,0:03:33.700
Rely on me.

0:03:34.500,0:03:36.600
I will forgive you.

0:03:37.200,0:03:40.000
And give you eternal life.

0:03:41.700,0:03:44.300
I love you.

0:03:44.300,0:03:46.200
And I did all of this

0:03:46.200,0:03:50.000
to have a relationship with you.

0:03:53.100,0:03:55.000
Will you follow me?

Changed Lives :: exchange students

As we work with students, our prayer is that they will influence their family and friends in their community as Christ changes their lives. Now, let’s add the international possibilities to that! When we work internationally through our Global Venture ministries or with exchange students as in today’s story, God can use what we do to reach other countries for him. Not only can His influence be felt with friends and family locally, but His message and Gospel can be spread globally --- what a mighty God we serve! Thank you for ministering alongside us locally and internationally.

Jesus working around the globe!
by Mike and Laurel Riley, staff serving in Michigan
We've written before about the large number of exchange students who come to Suttons Bay High School each year, for such a small school. We've enjoyed having a number of those students become involved in our weekly Bible studies. This year we have three exchange students who attend regularly. Yeo-min came to us from Germany, though she's originally from South Korea. While I believe Yeo-min originally came to Bible study for friendship, she seems to have found much more than that! Jordan and I have had some terrific conversations with her outside of the group, answering her questions and offering insight and pertinent reading materials. Yeo-min is leaving soon, and the other day offered the following commentary on her time here as it relates to faith: "Before I went to Student Venture I was skeptical about Christianity and God. My parents are Christians and they tried to help me understand God's word, but a lot of people I know say that God doesn't exist, and for me it was also hard to believe there is a God. But I always wondered why there are people who believe in God. I thought there must be something I don't know of why they have faith in God. During my stay in the US, a friend and I talked about religion and as a result I went to Student Venture. I learned and changed in Student Venture. I realized God's love for the first time just recently. He showed me his love by showing me these new friends who share the time with me and help me to understand and gain faith in God. I appreciate this gift because it is good for me and that was what I needed. I learned that God forgives no matter what we do, when we express regret and ask for forgiveness, because he loves us so much. For this love and mercy we should be grateful and the least we could do in return is to love God. I like that I'm changing because it means I am starting to understand the reason to have faith in God." Please pray for Yeo-min and our other exchange students– that God will cause the seeds of faith planted in their hearts here to grow into a deep commitment to Him even after they go home. Pray for spiritual support and encouragement for these young women.
