OPENING MUSIC.
00:00:01.86\00:00:14.00
WELCOME TO "ADVENTURES
IN MISSIONS" HERE AT GOSPEL
00:00:14.00\00:00:16.26
OUTREACH. I'M JULIE
SANDERS-KEYMER AND WE'RE GLAD
THAT YOU'VE JOINED US.
00:00:16.26\00:00:20.50
TODAY WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING
WITH BEV THOMPSON AND DR. CHUCK
00:00:20.50\00:00:23.56
NELSON. THANK YOU, BEV AND CHUCK
FOR JOINING US HERE ON
"ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS."
00:00:23.56\00:00:26.10
IT'S A PRIVILEGE FOR
US TO BE HERE, THANK YOU.
00:00:26.10\00:00:26.96
WELCOME.
00:00:26.96\00:00:32.76
BEV, TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
HOW YOU HAVE GOTTEN INVOLVED
WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:00:32.76\00:00:38.96
IT STARTED BACK IN 2003 WHEN MY
HUSBAND AND I WENT TO INDIA FOR
00:00:38.96\00:00:43.73
EVANGELISM. WALLY MANDINGO ASKED
ME IF I WOULD BE WILLING TO DO
00:00:43.73\00:00:49.10
SUCH A THING. AFTER SOME PRAYER
I DECIDED THAT I COULD DO IT
WITH MY HUSBAND'S BACKUP.
00:00:49.10\00:00:53.66
SO YOU ARE A REGIONAL
DIRECTOR FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH?
00:00:53.66\00:00:54.43
YES.
00:00:54.43\00:00:55.90
WHAT IS YOUR AREA?
00:00:55.90\00:00:57.76
NORTHEAST INDIA.
00:00:57.76\00:01:03.63
THAT IS NORTH OF CALCUTTA UP TO
AND INCLUDING BHUTAN AND OVER TO
00:01:03.63\00:01:07.00
BELOW NEPAL AND DOWN
INTO THE SOUTHERN MOST TIP OF
00:01:07.00\00:01:12.86
CHHATTISGARH . BEV, I'M THINKING
OF A WORLD GLOBE IN MY HEAD AND
THAT'S A BIG TERRITORY YOU
00:01:12.86\00:01:14.13
COVER. YES IT IS.
00:01:14.13\00:01:18.70
CHUCK, TELL US HOW YOU
HAVE GOTTEN INVOLVED WITH GOSPEL
00:01:18.70\00:01:26.23
OUTREACH. I WAS AT CHURCH ONE
DAY ON SABBATH, AND BEVERLY CAME
TO GIVE HER TALK ON HER
00:01:26.23\00:01:27.93
RECENT TRIP TO INDIA.
00:01:27.93\00:01:32.43
SHE GAVE AN INVITATION FOR
NURSES AND DOCTORS WHO MIGHT
00:01:32.43\00:01:34.73
WANT TO GO ON HER NEXT TRIP,
AND I FELT THAT I QUALIFIED.
00:01:34.73\00:01:36.36
YOU'RE A PHYSICIAN THEN?
00:01:36.36\00:01:37.26
YES.
00:01:37.26\00:01:41.10
IT'S WONDERFUL TO GET A LITTLE
BIT OF HISTORY ON BOTH OF YOU
00:01:41.10\00:01:43.70
AND YOUR OUTREACH
WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:01:43.70\00:01:48.66
BEV, TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT THE
AREA THAT GOSPEL OUTREACH GOES
00:01:48.66\00:01:52.13
INTO. WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT
THIS 10/40 WINDOW AS WE CALL IT?
00:01:52.13\00:01:57.46
THIS AREA IS IMPORTANT TO US
BECAUSE ONLY ABOUT ONE PERCENT
00:01:57.46\00:02:00.23
OF THE POPULATION HAS EVER HEARD
OF THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST.
00:02:00.23\00:02:03.13
ONE PERCENT?
00:02:03.13\00:02:04.13
RIGHT.
00:02:04.13\00:02:08.66
WE WANT THIS MESSAGE TO
GO TO ALL THE WORLD SOON.
00:02:08.66\00:02:10.20
I WANT TO SEE JESUS.
00:02:10.20\00:02:11.50
ABSOLUTELY.
00:02:11.50\00:02:13.86
SO THAT'S YOUR
GOAL IN THAT AREA.
00:02:13.86\00:02:20.13
AS THE DIRECTOR IN REGION 2, HOW
MANY GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS DO
00:02:20.13\00:02:24.83
YOU HAVE? WE HAVE
ABOUT 110-115 RIGHT NOW.
00:02:24.83\00:02:29.06
IT'S YOUR JOB TO DO
WHAT WITH THOSE WORKERS?
00:02:29.06\00:02:36.73
MY NUMBER ONE PURPOSE IN GOING
TO INDIA EVERY YEAR IS TO SEE
00:02:36.73\00:02:41.46
THAT THE MONEY DONATED TO GOSPEL
OUTREACH IS USED THE WAY WE ARE
EXPECTING IT TO BE USED
00:02:41.46\00:02:44.83
AND THAT THE WORKERS ARE DOING
THE WORK THAT WE ARE EXPECTING
00:02:44.83\00:02:53.40
THEM TO DO. WE HAVE A CONTRACT
WITH ALL THE DIVISIONS IN THE
WORLD WHERE WE SEND GOSPEL
00:02:53.40\00:02:59.50
OUTREACH WORKERS. IT IS THAT
THEY WILL SUPERVISE THE GOSPEL
00:02:59.50\00:03:03.33
OUTREACH WORKERS. THEY WILL HIRE
AND FIRE AND THEY WILL TEACH.
00:03:03.33\00:03:07.93
I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
OUR AGREEMENT IS BEING FOLLOWED.
00:03:07.93\00:03:10.76
SO YOU CHECK IN ONCE A YEAR.
00:03:10.76\00:03:15.40
THEN I LIKE TO VISIT AS
MANY GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS AS
00:03:15.40\00:03:19.40
POSSIBLE IN THE AREA WHERE THEY
ARE WORKING SO I CAN GET A FEEL
FOR WHAT IS HAPPENING
00:03:19.40\00:03:25.23
FOR THEM AND IN THE
NEIGHBORHOODS--ARE THE NUMBERS
00:03:25.23\00:03:27.13
THAT WE SEE ON PAPER FOR REAL?
00:03:27.13\00:03:30.86
IS THE WORD OF THE LORD
GETTING OUT TO THE PEOPLE?
00:03:30.86\00:03:37.16
YOU USUALLY GO ONCE A YEAR
AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR?
00:03:37.16\00:03:41.70
MANY TIMES IT'S THE BEGINNING OF
THE YEAR, BUT I HAVE GONE IN
JUNE AND JULY ALSO.
00:03:41.70\00:03:46.63
TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT
WHAT YOU ARE BOTH WEARING.
00:03:46.63\00:03:51.30
CHUCK, YOU ARE IN WHAT
LOOKS LIKE A NATIVE DRESS.
00:03:51.30\00:03:57.30
IT IS CALLED A SHALWAR KHAMES .
00:03:57.30\00:04:01.73
IS THIS
TRADITIONALLY WHAT THE MEN WEAR?
00:04:01.73\00:04:03.10
YES.
00:04:03.10\00:04:07.80
MANY OF THE MEN WEAR IT, BUT
AROUND THE WORLD MANY MEN ARE
00:04:07.80\00:04:09.26
GOING TO THE
WESTERN PANTS AND SHIRT.
00:04:09.26\00:04:12.20
BUT THE
TRADITIONAL MEN WILL WEAR THIS.
00:04:12.20\00:04:17.13
IS THIS TRADITIONAL EVERYDAY
DRESS OR IS THIS SOMETHING THEY
00:04:17.13\00:04:18.40
WOULD WEAR TO A FESTIVAL?
00:04:18.40\00:04:22.36
WHAT I AM WEARING
TODAY WOULD BE MORE DRESSY.
00:04:22.36\00:04:27.43
FOR DAILY WEAR THEY WOULD WEAR
A SIMILAR STYLE BUT DIFFERENT
00:04:27.43\00:04:29.76
MATERIAL. IS IT COMFORTABLE?
00:04:29.76\00:04:31.06
YES, VERY.
00:04:31.06\00:04:33.06
BEV, WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?
00:04:33.06\00:04:35.13
I'M WEARING A PUNJABI .
00:04:35.13\00:04:40.96
IT'S ALSO CALLED, IN SOME
AREAS, A SHALWAR AND A KHAMES .
00:04:40.96\00:04:53.46
I SEE MORE OF THEM ON THE YOUNG
PEOPLE BUT WE DO SEE SOME ON THE
00:04:53.46\00:04:58.10
OLDER. I'M NOT OLDER BUT I
WEAR IT AND IT'S COMFORTABLE.
00:04:58.10\00:05:04.53
THIS IS WHAT I WEAR FROM
THE TIME I ENTER INDIA UNTIL I
00:05:04.53\00:05:09.20
LEAVE. IN FACT, I LEAVE IN A
PUNJABI WHEN I COME HOME BECAUSE
00:05:09.20\00:05:10.73
IT IS SO COMFORTABLE TO WEAR.
00:05:10.73\00:05:19.43
IT USUALLY IS NOT ONE QUITE AS
DECORATIVE AS THIS, BUT THEY ARE
00:05:19.43\00:05:26.93
MOST COMFORTABLE. YOU HAVE SOME
PICTURES TO SHARE WITH US FROM
00:05:26.93\00:05:29.20
YOUR RECENT TRIP. WHAT WAS
YOUR GOAL ON YOUR RECENT TRIP?
00:05:29.20\00:05:33.06
MY PERSONAL GOAL
WAS TO GET INTO BHUTAN .
00:05:33.06\00:05:40.26
NO ONE IN THE CHURCH HAS
OFFICIALLY GONE INTO BHUTAN
00:05:40.26\00:05:50.10
BEFORE. THAT IS BECAUSE THE
COUNTRY ITSELF HAS A TOURIST
00:05:50.10\00:05:54.16
REGULATION THAT A FOREIGNER MUST
PAY $250.00 A DAY TO GET INTO
00:05:54.16\00:06:01.90
BHUTAN. THIS DOES INCLUDE THEIR
TRANSPORTATION, FOOD AND
LODGING, BUT IT'S A
00:06:01.90\00:06:06.00
BLANKET AMOUNT THAT EVERYONE HAS
TO PAY TO GET INTO THE COUNTRY.
00:06:06.00\00:06:07.56
SO IT'S HEAVILY REGULATED?
00:06:07.56\00:06:14.13
YES, AND TOURISM IS A VERY HIGH
PRIORITY IN THE BUDDHIST COUNTRY
00:06:14.13\00:06:17.50
BECAUSE THIS BRINGS IN SO MUCH
MORE MONEY THAN ANYTHING ELSE
00:06:17.50\00:06:21.53
THEY PRODUCE. IF THEY ARE
CHARGING $250.00 A DAY, YOU
MIGHT THINK TWICE ABOUT BEING
00:06:21.53\00:06:22.73
THERE FOR TWO WEEKS.
00:06:22.73\00:06:25.33
THEY ALSO GET A
HIGHER CLASS PERSON.
00:06:25.33\00:06:28.00
THEY ARE NOT GOING TO GET A
TRAMP OR SOMEONE WHO IS BEGGING.
00:06:28.00\00:06:36.06
SO YOU HAD TO DO ALL THE PROPER
PAPERWORK, VISAS AND ALL OF
00:06:36.06\00:06:37.16
THAT? THAT'S RIGHT.
00:06:37.16\00:06:42.66
WE HAD ALL THIS PLANNED THREE
TO SIX MONTHS AHEAD OF TIME.
00:06:42.66\00:06:44.53
WE STARTED SIX
MONTHS AHEAD OF TIME.
00:06:44.53\00:06:47.96
THEN THREE MONTHS AHEAD OF TIME,
I HAD TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING
00:06:47.96\00:06:53.30
WAS IN ORDER. THEY DIDN'T SEND
ME THE LAST MINUTE PAPER WORK
UNTIL I WAS ALREADY IN
00:06:53.30\00:06:56.30
INDIA, AND I HAD TO
PICK THAT UP ON THE E-MAIL.
00:06:56.30\00:07:11.73
WHEN WE THINK ABOUT BHUTAN WE
THINK OF RELIGION BEING A STATE
RELIGION WHICH IS BUDDHISM.
00:07:11.73\00:07:18.96
I BELIEVE IT WAS LAST YEAR THEY
GOT RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN THE
00:07:18.96\00:07:23.60
POLITICAL SENSE OF THE WORD BUT
IT HAS STILL NOT FILTERED DOWN
00:07:23.60\00:07:28.33
TO THE PEOPLE. THEY HAVE A
NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH THAT IS A
00:07:28.33\00:07:33.43
VERY STRONG WATCH. THIS MEANS
A NEIGHBOR CAN TATTLETALE ON
00:07:33.43\00:07:37.90
ANOTHER NEIGHBOR. SO YOU
COULDN'T EVEN FILL A BATHTUB TO
HAVE A BAPTISM BECAUSE SOME
00:07:37.90\00:07:39.20
NEIGHBOR MIGHT COME IN.
00:07:39.20\00:07:46.66
IT IS IN WORD ONLY THAT
THEY HAVE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
00:07:46.66\00:07:48.66
BUT IN ACTUALITY NOT SO MUCH.
00:07:48.66\00:07:50.53
IT HAS NOT FILTERED
DOWN TO THE PEOPLE YET.
00:07:50.53\00:07:52.20
WOULD SOMEONE GET IN TROUBLE?
00:07:52.20\00:07:53.46
WOULD THEY
REPORT IT TO THE POLICE?
00:07:53.46\00:07:55.60
YES, AND THEY
COULD BE PUT IN JAIL.
00:07:55.60\00:08:00.20
I WANTED YOU TO SEE A PICTURE
OF THE COUNTRY OF BHUTAN.
00:08:00.20\00:08:05.86
THE SOUTHERN MOST PART IS INDIA.
00:08:05.86\00:08:08.20
TO THE NORTH IS CHINA.
00:08:08.20\00:08:12.20
TO THE NORTHWEST IS TIBET.
00:08:12.20\00:08:14.70
THE WEST IS NEPAL.
00:08:14.70\00:08:22.06
BASICALLY THIS COUNTRY HAD NOT
BEEN REACHED BY CHRISTIANITY IN
00:08:22.06\00:08:33.56
ANY WAY. SOME OF THE PROTESTANT
RELIGIONS HAD SECRET MEETINGS IN
00:08:33.56\00:08:45.13
JUST A FEW PLACES. WE HAD A
PERSON WHO LEARNED CHRISTIANITY
FROM THEM, BUT WHEN HE LEARNED
00:08:45.13\00:08:49.33
ABOUT THE SABBATH HE
WANTED TO BE AN ADVENTIST.
00:08:49.33\00:08:57.96
THE OTHER THING WAS GOSPEL
OUTREACH HAD TEN WORKERS ALONG
THE BORDER OF BHUTAN.
00:08:57.96\00:09:01.83
THE SUPERVISOR WAS NEPALI.
00:09:01.83\00:09:07.63
HE NATURALLY HIRED ALL
NEPALI GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS.
00:09:07.63\00:09:13.93
THEIR MISSION WAS TO REACH THE
NEPALESE IN INDIA AND SOUTHERN
00:09:13.93\00:09:20.06
BHUTAN. PRAISE GOD FOR THE
NEPALESE AND THEIR WILLINGNESS
00:09:20.06\00:09:22.80
TO REACH OUT TO THEIR PEOPLE
IN THESE FOREIGN COUNTRIES.
00:09:22.80\00:09:26.70
WE WANT TO SEE THE
MESSAGE GO TO THEM ALSO.
00:09:26.70\00:09:35.16
WHEN THIS MAN PEMA ACCEPTED THE
ADVENTIST FAITH, HE WAS ANXIOUS
00:09:35.16\00:09:40.46
TO TAKE THIS MESSAGE TO HIS
PEOPLE IN CENTRAL BHUTAN AND
BECOME A PART OF THE
00:09:40.46\00:09:48.63
GREATER BHUTAN PEOPLE WITH THE
MESSAGE OF JESUS CHRIST AND THE
00:09:48.63\00:09:50.36
SABBATH. IS HE SAFE TO DO THAT?
00:09:50.36\00:09:56.40
HE HAS COURAGE.
00:09:56.40\00:10:02.76
THIS YOUNG MAN PEMA HAD
BEEN DECLARED DEAD EIGHT TIMES
00:10:02.76\00:10:05.83
BY A LAMA WHO IS LIKE A PRIEST.
00:10:05.83\00:10:09.60
FIVE OF THOSE TIMES
WAS BECAUSE OF MALARIA.
00:10:09.60\00:10:16.46
THREE TIMES HE WAS BEING TAKEN
TO BE BURIED WHEN HE WOKE UP.
00:10:16.46\00:10:19.20
HOW OLD IS THIS MAN?
00:10:19.20\00:10:23.20
HE WAS 33 WHEN HE
TALKED WITH ME ABOUT THIS.
00:10:23.20\00:10:27.43
NOW HE IS ONE OF OUR
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS.
00:10:27.43\00:10:29.03
PRAISE THE LORD.
00:10:29.03\00:10:32.56
AT FIRST THESE NEPALI PEOPLE
THOUGHT HE WAS WANTING TO BECOME
00:10:32.56\00:10:34.63
AN ADVENTIST JUST
BECAUSE HE COULD GET A JOB.
00:10:34.63\00:10:41.16
THEY PUT HIM OFF FROM BEING
BAPTIZED FOR ABOUT A YEAR, BUT
00:10:41.16\00:10:45.53
FINALLY HE GOT BAPTIZED THEN WE
HIRED HIM AS A GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:10:45.53\00:10:48.50
WORKER. THERE HAVE
BEEN THRILLING RESULTS.
00:10:48.50\00:10:52.26
THIS IS PEMA, THE
FIRST MAN IN THE FOREGROUND.
00:10:52.26\00:10:56.23
THIS WAS AFTER ONE YEAR OF
HIS SERVING AS A GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:10:56.23\00:11:03.43
WORKER. WHEN HE CAME ON THAT
FIRST VISIT HE BROUGHT SEVEN
PEOPLE FOR BAPTISM.
00:11:03.43\00:11:08.13
IT WAS THRILLING TO SEE THESE
PEOPLE IN THE BAPTISMAL WATER.
00:11:08.13\00:11:09.40
THERE WAS ONLY ONE GIRL.
00:11:09.40\00:11:11.76
I'M STANDING NEXT TO HER.
00:11:11.76\00:11:18.86
THIS IS IN INDIA BECAUSE IT WAS
NOT SAFE TO HAVE THEM BAPTIZED
00:11:18.86\00:11:30.53
IN BHUTAN. THE MEN IN THE
BHUTANI COSTUMES ARE MEN WHO
00:11:30.53\00:11:35.46
WERE BAPTIZED. THE GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS ARE ON BOTH
ENDS AND I'M IN THE MIDDLE.
00:11:35.46\00:11:41.16
TO GET SEVEN PEOPLE BAPTIZED
THAT FIRST YEAR WAS THRILLING.
00:11:41.16\00:11:45.93
THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE WENT.
00:11:45.93\00:11:55.26
WE HAD JUST ARRIVED AT AN
EVANGELISTIC CENTER AND PEMA AND
00:11:55.26\00:11:58.30
HIS GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKER FRIEND ARRIVED.
00:11:58.30\00:12:02.53
CHUCK, YOU TELL THEM
WHAT THE RESULTS WERE.
00:12:02.53\00:12:08.56
HE TRAVELED ON HIS MOTORCYCLE
WITH HIS FRIEND DOWN TO INDIA
00:12:08.56\00:12:24.06
WHERE WE WERE. HIS REPORT TO US
WAS INITIALLY THAT HE HAD
ANOTHER 25 READY FOR BAPTISM.
00:12:24.06\00:12:26.53
THIS WAS THE NEXT YEAR.
00:12:26.53\00:12:39.63
HE HAD ALSO IN THIS TIME
TRANSLATED "STEPS TO CHRIST"
INTO THE DZONGKHA LANGUAGE.
00:12:39.63\00:12:43.73
AND HE HAD TRANSLATED
SEVEN CHAPTERS OF "THE GREAT
00:12:43.73\00:12:45.70
CONTROVERSY" INTO HIS LANGUAGE.
00:12:45.70\00:13:02.00
HIS PLAN FOR THE PEOPLE IN HIS
COUNTRY IS TO PLANT FOUR LITTLE
00:13:02.00\00:13:04.16
CHURCHES PER YEAR
FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.
00:13:04.16\00:13:07.83
THEY HAVE 20 STATES IN HIS
COUNTRY, AND HE WANTS ONE IN
00:13:07.83\00:13:11.00
EACH STATE AT THE
END OF FIVE YEARS.
00:13:11.00\00:13:12.53
THAT IS PART OF HIS DREAM.
00:13:12.53\00:13:17.96
HE ALSO SAID THAT HE URGENTLY
NEEDED THREE MORE WORKERS.
00:13:17.96\00:13:22.36
DR. NELSON RESPONDED IMMEDIATELY
FOR THOSE THREE MORE WORKERS.
00:13:22.36\00:13:29.43
WHEN HE HEARD IT FROM THE
VOLUNTEER'S MOUTH THAT MORE HELP
00:13:29.43\00:13:33.10
WAS REALLY NEEDED, DR. NELSON
SPONSORED THREE GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:13:33.10\00:13:37.60
WORKERS. IT'S ALMOST
IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY "NO."
00:13:37.60\00:13:45.66
IF YOU ARE LISTENING TO BEV AND
CHUCK AND YOU ARE WONDERING HOW
00:13:45.66\00:13:50.10
YOU CAN GET INVOLVED WITH GOSPEL
OUTREACH TO HELP THE PEOPLE IN
00:13:50.10\00:13:54.53
INDIA AND BHUTAN WHERE BEV
OVERSEES THE WORKERS, IT'S VERY
00:13:54.53\00:13:57.63
SIMPLE TO DO. WE HOPE THE LORD
IS MOVING ON YOU TO BE A PART OF
00:13:57.63\00:14:00.53
THAT WORK. GOSPEL
OUTREACH CAN BE REACHED AT
00:14:00.53\00:14:03.93
YOU CAN GET INVOLVED BY GIVING
YOUR DONATIONS TO HELP OTHER
00:14:44.10\00:14:46.96
PEOPLE SO THEY CAN HEAR THE WORD
OF THE LORD IN THE 10/40 WINDOW.
00:14:46.96\00:14:49.96
WE APPEAL TO YOU AND
ASK YOU TO BE INVOLVED.
00:14:49.96\00:14:56.40
NOT ALL OF US CAN GO ON A
MISSION TRIP AND DO WHAT BOTH OF
00:14:56.40\00:14:59.63
YOU DID, BUT WE CAN ALL GET
INVOLVED TOGETHER BY GIVING.
00:14:59.63\00:15:06.76
PRAYERS AND DONATIONS ARE THE
MOST IMPORTANT PART OF GOSPEL
00:15:06.76\00:15:11.66
OUTREACH. TELL US A LITTLE
BIT MORE ABOUT YOUR TRIP BEV.
00:15:11.66\00:15:13.40
WE HAVE SOME MORE PICTURES HERE.
00:15:13.40\00:15:23.03
THIS WAS LAST YEAR
RIGHT AFTER WE MET WITH PEMA.
00:15:23.03\00:15:28.23
THE NEXT DAY I HAD THE PRIVILEGE
OF SEEING ANOTHER SIX OR SEVEN
00:15:28.23\00:15:29.76
PEOPLE BAPTIZED.
00:15:29.76\00:15:33.40
THIS MAN IN THE WATER
WAS A PENTECOSTAL PREACHER.
00:15:33.40\00:15:36.93
HE IS NOW A
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER.
00:15:36.93\00:15:42.23
I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF SEEING
HIM AND HIS WIFE BAPTIZED.
00:15:42.23\00:15:47.00
WHAT IS IT LIKE WHEN YOU
ARE THERE, BEV, AND SOMEONE HAS
00:15:47.00\00:15:49.06
ACCEPTED THE LORD
JESUS AND IS BAPTIZED?
00:15:49.06\00:15:51.93
IT'S A THRILL OF THRILLS.
00:15:51.93\00:15:54.93
THIS IS WHAT I GO FOR.
00:15:54.93\00:15:58.43
IT'S THE EXCITING PART OF MY
LIFE TO SEE THIS MESSAGE GOING
00:15:58.43\00:16:04.06
TO ALL THE WORLD. I THINK IT'S
HARD FOR US HERE IN A CHRISTIAN
COUNTRY WHERE WE DON'T
00:16:04.06\00:16:07.13
UNDERSTAND. WHAT'S IT LIKE FOR
YOU CHUCK, TO SEE THESE PEOPLE
WHO ARE BUDDHIST AND HAVE
00:16:07.13\00:16:11.93
NO IDEA SOMEONE DIED FOR
THEM AND THEN REALIZE THAT.
00:16:11.93\00:16:16.40
IT'S AN AMAZING THRILL TO SEE
THAT AND TO KNOW THESE PEOPLE
00:16:16.40\00:16:18.56
WHO HAVE NOT BEEN REACHED
BEFORE ARE BEING REACHED.
00:16:18.56\00:16:23.93
IT WAS MOST IMPRESSIVE TO ME TO
SEE HOW MUCH THIS ONE YOUNG MAN
00:16:23.93\00:16:27.30
HAD DONE IN THE YEAR
HE HAD BEEN WORKING THERE.
00:16:27.30\00:16:34.50
IT'S HUMBLING BECAUSE YOU FEEL
YOU'VE DONE SO LITTLE YOURSELF
00:16:34.50\00:16:37.93
IN YOUR LIFE AND LOOK WHAT HE IS
DOING IN ONE YEAR AND HAS PLANS
FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.
00:16:37.93\00:16:39.20
HE HAS A DREAM.
00:16:39.20\00:16:42.50
TELL US ABOUT THIS PICTURE.
00:16:42.50\00:16:44.56
THIS IS THE GROUP OF
PEOPLE WHO WERE BAPTIZED.
00:16:44.56\00:16:48.50
THE PENTECOSTAL PREACHER
IS ON THE EXTREME RIGHT.
00:16:48.50\00:16:50.93
HIS DAUGHTER IS IN THE FRONT.
00:16:50.93\00:16:53.50
SHE WAS NOT BAPTIZED BECAUSE
SHE WASN'T TWELVE YEARS OLD YET.
00:16:53.50\00:16:55.36
OH, THEY HAVE A REGULATION?
00:16:55.36\00:17:01.43
YES, THEY DO NEED TO BE TWELVE
YEARS OLD BEFORE THEY CAN BE
00:17:01.43\00:17:09.10
BAPTIZED. THE LADY TO THE RIGHT
WITH THE PINK SCARF IS THE
PENTECOSTAL PREACHER'S WIFE.
00:17:09.10\00:17:13.73
THE LADY ON THE LEFT IS AN
OUTSTANDING GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:17:13.73\00:17:16.26
WORKER NOW. SHE IS
ON FIRE FOR THE LORD.
00:17:16.26\00:17:21.46
IT IS EXCITING TO HEAR HER
EXPERIENCES WHICH WE HAD THE
PRIVILEGE OF DOING.
00:17:21.46\00:17:26.53
THE PENTECOSTAL'S
NEPHEW IS IN THE BLUE SHIRT.
00:17:26.53\00:17:31.96
THERE WAS A HINDU AND A BUDDHIST
WHO HAD COME FOR BAPTISM THAT
00:17:31.96\00:17:33.20
TIME. WHAT A THRILL IT WAS.
00:17:33.20\00:17:36.73
THIS TIME WE GOT INTO BHUTAN.
00:17:36.73\00:17:38.30
WE WENT THROUGH THE HOOPS.
00:17:38.30\00:17:43.10
WE PAID OUR MONEY AND WENT
IN TO SEE BHUTAN, THE PEOPLE AND
00:17:43.10\00:17:48.60
WHATEVER WE COULD. YOU SEE THE
LINE THROUGH THE LOWER THIRD OF
00:17:48.60\00:17:53.50
THE PICTURE? THAT IS THE BORDER
BETWEEN BHUTAN IN THE FOREGROUND
AND INDIA IN THE BACKGROUND.
00:17:53.50\00:17:55.66
WE HAD WANTED TO BUY A PIECE
OF PROPERTY FOR A GRAVE SITE.
00:17:58.36\00:18:03.70
THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT THING
FOR THE PEOPLE OF BHUTAN SO THEY
00:18:03.70\00:18:07.43
HAVE A PLACE TO BURY THEIR DEAD.
00:18:07.43\00:18:12.16
THE HINDUS CREMATE.
00:18:12.16\00:18:16.80
THE BUDDHISTS HAVE A BURIAL
SITE BUT THEY WILL NOT HAVE A
00:18:16.80\00:18:23.33
CHRISTIAN IN THEIR
BURIAL SITE, SO WE NEED OUR OWN.
00:18:23.33\00:18:26.80
WE TRIED TO BUY THIS PROPERTY
RIGHT NEXT TO THE BORDER, BUT
THE GOVERNMENT SAID NO.
00:18:26.80\00:18:33.46
BECAUSE IT IS SO CLOSE TO INDIA
AND THERE HAVE BEEN SOME
TENSIONS, THEY WANTED
00:18:33.46\00:18:36.83
A BUFFER, SO WE
COULDN'T HAVE THAT LAND.
00:18:36.83\00:18:44.66
THEY ARE STILL TRYING TO FIND
LAND AND THERE HAS BEEN A
DONATION FOR THIS PROPERTY.
00:18:44.66\00:18:56.76
WE PROBABLY HAD THREE OF THESE
CHECKPOINTS IN ROUTE FROM THE
00:18:56.76\00:19:03.46
BORDER OF INDIA UP TO PARO WHERE
THE CAPITAL CITY AIRPORT IS.
00:19:03.46\00:19:06.46
WERE YOU GOING BY BUS OR CAR?
00:19:06.46\00:19:09.10
WE WERE GOING IN A TOURIST VAN.
00:19:09.10\00:19:13.30
WE HAD TO STOP AT EVERY
ONE OF THESE CHECKPOINTS.
00:19:13.30\00:19:15.53
THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.
00:19:15.53\00:19:17.73
THIS IS ONE OF THE
CLEAREST PICTURES I HAVE.
00:19:17.73\00:19:21.46
IT'S BURNING SEASON
AND IT'S VERY SMOGGY.
00:19:21.46\00:19:25.70
JUST LIKE THE PREVIOUS PICTURE
IT WAS SO SMOGGY IT WAS HARD TO
00:19:25.70\00:19:27.00
TELL WHAT IT WAS LIKE.
00:19:27.00\00:19:29.03
THIS IS PARO , THE PARO VALLEY.
00:19:29.03\00:19:33.40
THEY HAVE AN AIRPORT THERE.
00:19:33.40\00:19:38.16
AT THE FAR END ON THE EXTREME
RIGHT YOU CAN SEE SOME BUILDINGS
00:19:38.16\00:19:40.86
IN THE BACKGROUND.
THAT IS WHERE OUR HOTEL WAS.
00:19:40.86\00:19:43.53
CHUCK, THERE YOU ARE.
00:19:43.53\00:19:46.86
AND THAT'S THE TOUR GUIDE.
00:19:46.86\00:19:52.13
HE IS WEARING HIS
BHUTANESE COSTUME.
00:19:52.13\00:19:58.83
THAT MORNING WE GOT UP EARLY
IN ORDER TO MEET THESE PEOPLE.
00:19:58.83\00:20:02.90
OUR TOUR GUIDE GAVE US
AN HOUR TO MEET WITH THEM.
00:20:02.90\00:20:06.00
THAT'S THE MOST HE WOULD
LET US BE SEPARATED FROM HIM.
00:20:06.00\00:20:10.36
WE WERE, HOWEVER, GONE AN HOUR
AND 20 MINUTES AND HE DIDN'T
00:20:10.36\00:20:15.26
OBJECT TO THAT. I'D LIKE TO
INTERJECT HERE THAT THE COSTUME
HE IS WEARING IS THEIR NATIONAL
00:20:15.26\00:20:19.20
COSTUME. IN ORDER TO CARRY ON
ANY BUSINESS YOU MUST WEAR THAT
00:20:19.20\00:20:22.86
COSTUME. YOU CANNOT GO INTO ANY
GOVERNMENT BUILDING WITHOUT THAT
00:20:22.86\00:20:29.00
COSTUME ON. NO BUSINESS OR
NEGOTIATIONS CAN BE DONE OUT OF
00:20:29.00\00:20:31.76
COSTUME. IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE
IS HANGING ON YOUR ARM, CHUCK.
00:20:31.76\00:20:34.63
MY GRANDDAUGHTER
IS HIDING BEHIND ME.
00:20:34.63\00:20:38.30
HOW SPECIAL THAT YOU
GOT TO TAKE HER WITH YOU.
00:20:38.30\00:20:39.40
YES.
00:20:39.40\00:20:41.46
VERY BRIEFLY, SHE
WASN'T THERE AS A TOURIST.
00:20:41.46\00:20:42.93
SHE HAD A JOB TO DO.
00:20:42.93\00:20:47.76
SHE WAS DOING OUR CHILD
EVANGELISM FOR US, AND SHE DID A
00:20:47.76\00:20:52.80
WONDERFUL JOB. SO YOU HAD THIS
TOUR GUIDE WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES
EXCEPT FOR THIS HOUR AND
00:20:52.80\00:20:55.30
TWENTY MINUTES
THAT YOU WERE SEPARATED.
00:20:55.30\00:20:58.43
WHO WERE YOU
VISITING DURING THAT TIME?
00:20:58.43\00:21:02.83
THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS--OUR
DEAR FRIENDS WE TOLD HIM.
00:21:02.83\00:21:09.00
IN FRONT OF THE HOTEL WE MET
PEMA WHO IS ON THE EXTREME RIGHT
IN HIS NATIONAL COSTUME.
00:21:09.00\00:21:16.13
THE CONFERENCE GOSPEL OUTREACH
SUPERVISOR IS IN THE
LIGHT-COLORED SHIRT.
00:21:16.13\00:21:20.63
NEXT TO HIM IS THE PASTOR FROM
THE UNION WHO WAS WITH ME FOR
00:21:20.63\00:21:28.00
FIVE WEEKS. WHEN WE GOT UP INTO
THE FIFTH STORY OF THIS BUILDING
00:21:28.00\00:21:29.93
WE WERE TAKEN INSIDE
AND INTO ANOTHER ROOM.
00:21:29.93\00:21:32.10
THEY CALLED IT A PRAYER ROOM.
00:21:32.10\00:21:36.83
WE SAT ON THE FLOOR AND EACH ONE
OF THEM CAME AND GAVE US THESE
00:21:36.83\00:21:40.03
BEAUTIFUL FINE SILK SCARVES.
00:21:40.03\00:21:41.56
IS THAT A WELCOME GIFT?
00:21:41.56\00:21:42.86
IT WAS A WELCOME GIFT.
00:21:42.86\00:21:45.60
THEY PUT IT ON EACH
ONE OF US AS WE WERE THERE.
00:21:45.60\00:21:51.90
PASTOR BHATTI FROM THE UNION AND
PASTOR TAMSENG FROM THE
CONFERENCE IS THERE.
00:21:51.90\00:21:58.30
CHUCK IS GETTING HIS
SCARF AND KYLA GOT A SCARF ALSO.
00:21:58.30\00:22:01.93
THERE SHE IS WITH HERS ON.
00:22:01.93\00:22:03.83
KYLA IS YOUR GRANDDAUGHTER?
00:22:03.83\00:22:05.00
YES.
00:22:05.00\00:22:07.93
THIS TO ME IS THE
MOST PRECIOUS PICTURE.
00:22:07.93\00:22:13.40
THESE ARE THE GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS IN BHUTAN.
00:22:13.40\00:22:14.70
THERE ARE SIX OF THEM.
00:22:14.70\00:22:16.70
PEMA IS ON THE RIGHT.
00:22:16.70\00:22:22.73
WE CALL HIM THE LOCAL LEAD
BECAUSE NOT ALWAYS CAN WE GET
00:22:22.73\00:22:25.70
SUPERVISORS INTO BHUTAN
BECAUSE OF THIS IMMIGRATION LAW.
00:22:25.70\00:22:35.43
PASTOR TAMSENG IS HALF NEPALI
AND HALF SIKKIMESE WHICH MEANS
THAT HE HAS SLANTED EYES.
00:22:35.43\00:22:40.00
BECAUSE HE HAS SLANTED EYES THEY
WILL BE MORE LIKELY TO GIVE HIM
00:22:40.00\00:22:44.10
PERMISSION TO COME IN AND VISIT
THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS.
00:22:44.10\00:22:55.26
DEKI IN THE TAN JACKET SITTING
NEXT TO PEMA IS IN HER EARLY
00:22:55.26\00:23:00.60
THIRTIES. SHE IS
ON FIRE FOR THE LORD.
00:23:00.60\00:23:07.46
SHE WON THE OTHER LADY, IN
THE BLUE JACKET, TO THE FAITH.
00:23:07.46\00:23:12.06
TOGETHER THEY GO OUT PREACHING
TO THE LADIES IN THE COMMUNITY.
00:23:12.06\00:23:16.20
MANY TIMES THE LADIES ARE AT
HOME AND THE MEN AREN'T SO IT'S
00:23:16.20\00:23:19.73
A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY FOR
THEM TO GET OUT AND SHARE THEIR
00:23:19.73\00:23:21.40
FAITH. WOMEN'S
MINISTRY IN BHUTAN.
00:23:21.40\00:23:22.83
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:23:22.83\00:23:33.40
JOSEPH IN THE BLUE IN THE CENTER
IS THE PASTOR OF OUR FIRST
00:23:33.40\00:23:34.66
ADVENTIST CHURCH IN BHUTAN.
00:23:34.66\00:23:42.03
HE HAS A CONGREGATION
OF BETWEEN 30 AND 35.
00:23:42.03\00:23:46.83
THEY HAVE PROBABLY 30
MORE READY FOR BAPTISM.
00:23:46.83\00:23:54.03
ON THE EXTREME LEFT IS NIMA .
00:23:54.03\00:24:01.13
HE HAS BEEN AN ADVENTIST FROM
SIKKIM EVANGELISM BUT LIVING IN
00:24:01.13\00:24:06.43
BHUTAN. WHEN WE HEARD ABOUT
HIM HE WANTED TO BE A GOSPEL
00:24:06.43\00:24:10.56
OUTREACH WORKER. HE HAS
25 PEOPLE READY FOR BAPTISM.
00:24:10.56\00:24:17.26
WHEN WE THINK AND PRAY FOR THE
PEOPLE OF BHUTAN, WE CAN THINK
00:24:17.26\00:24:18.43
OF THOSE PEOPLE IN THAT PICTURE.
00:24:18.43\00:24:21.73
SO CHUCK, YOU
HAD A WONDERFUL TRIP?
00:24:21.73\00:24:23.46
YES, VERY SUCCESSFUL.
00:24:23.46\00:24:25.16
WHAT WAS THE
BEST THING ABOUT IT?
00:24:25.16\00:24:32.13
THE BEST THING FOR ME WAS
GETTING INTO BHUTAN AND MEETING
00:24:32.13\00:24:37.73
THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE WORKING SO
HARD, AND GETTING TO UNDERSTAND
THEIR NEEDS AND ACTUALLY
00:24:37.73\00:24:40.53
FEELING THEM AS OUR OWN NEEDS.
00:24:40.53\00:24:43.20
BEV, YOU'LL GO BACK?
00:24:43.20\00:24:47.16
OH I WANT TO EVEN IF
IT COSTS ME $250.00 A DAY.
00:24:47.16\00:24:49.80
WE CAN CERTAINLY
PRAY FOR THOSE PEOPLE.
00:24:49.80\00:24:54.20

THEY KNOW THE
LANGUAGE, THEY KNOW THE CULTURE.
00:25:34.96\00:25:40.10
WHAT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU PRAY
FOR, BEV WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT
THE PEOPLE IN YOUR TERRITORY?
00:25:40.10\00:25:46.06
THAT GOD WILL OPEN THEIR HEARTS
TO THE ADVENTIST MESSAGE, TO THE
00:25:46.06\00:25:54.66
LOVE OF JESUS. IT IS SO AMAZING
TO ME THAT WHEN WE TRY TO FIND
COMMON GROUND BY WHICH TO
00:25:54.66\00:25:59.53
REACH THE PEOPLE THERE IS ALWAYS
SOMETHING AND GOD IS GOOD.
00:25:59.53\00:26:03.80
THAT'S TRUE AND THE FACT THAT
MORE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT
00:26:03.80\00:26:06.63
HIM IN THAT AREA. CHUCK,
YOU'LL CONTINUE TO BE INVOLVED?
00:26:06.63\00:26:08.46

PICTURE AND PRAY THAT MORE

KNOW THE LORD. AND WE NEED
MORE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS.
00:26:23.06\00:26:24.03
YES.
00:26:24.03\00:26:25.46
GO AHEAD AND SAY THAT BEV.
00:26:25.46\00:26:30.30
IT MEANS ABOUT $100.00 A MONTH
AND IN BHUTAN $150.00 A MONTH.
00:26:30.30\00:26:34.90
THAT'S TO HELP A GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKER IN THAT COUNTRY.
00:26:34.90\00:26:40.43
JUST THINK HOW FAR $150.00
GOES HERE COMPARED TO THERE.
00:26:40.43\00:26:46.66
CHUCK NELSON AND BEV THOMPSON,
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE

CLOSING MUSIC.
00:26:59.86\00:28:29.93
