WELCOME TO "ADVENTURES IN
MISSIONS" WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:00:15.43\00:00:18.00
I'M JULIE SANDERS-KEYMER,
AND WE'RE SO GLAD THAT YOU HAVE
00:00:18.00\00:00:19.23
JOINED US. WE HAVE A TREAT.
00:00:19.23\00:00:21.46
WE ARE GOING TO BE
LEARNING ABOUT INDIA.
00:00:21.46\00:00:24.00
I'D LIKE TO
WELCOME DR. MANZOOR MASSEY.
00:00:24.00\00:00:24.90
THANK YOU.
00:00:24.90\00:00:26.46
IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU HERE.
00:00:26.46\00:00:31.66
TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
HOW YOU GOT INVOLVED WITH GOSPEL
00:00:31.66\00:00:35.93
OUTREACH. MY MISSION IN
LIFE IS TO MAKE FRIENDS FOR GOD.
00:00:35.93\00:00:40.86
WHERE COULD YOU BE BETTER
CONNECTED THAN GOSPEL OUTREACH?
00:00:40.86\00:00:44.96
THIS ORGANIZATION
IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
00:00:44.96\00:00:49.63
EVERYTHING IS
DONE BY VOLUNTEERS.
00:00:49.63\00:00:51.53
THE PRICE IS RIGHT.
00:00:51.53\00:00:53.36
THAT'S TRUE.
00:00:53.36\00:01:00.10
WHEN I WAS GROWING UP, MY FATHER
ALWAYS TOLD ME TO NEVER GET ON A
00:01:00.10\00:01:01.53
PAYROLL IF
YOU'RE GOING TO PREACH.
00:01:01.53\00:01:03.20
GET OFF THE PAYROLL.
00:01:03.20\00:01:11.53
SO I BARELY WORKED FOR
THREE YEARS ON A PAYROLL FOR THE
00:01:11.53\00:01:17.40
CHURCH. I DECIDED OK, IF I'M
GOING TO SHARE THE LOVE OF GOD,
I'VE GOT TO BE SELF SUPPORTING.
00:01:17.40\00:01:21.13
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS
AN ANSWER TO MY PRAYERS.
00:01:21.13\00:01:26.60
THEY WERE LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY
TO REPRESENT THEM IN A PART OF
00:01:26.60\00:01:29.20
INDIA, AND I SAID "WOW, WHAT
A GREAT OPPORTUNITY THAT IS."
00:01:29.20\00:01:33.73
"I'LL BE DOING WHAT I LOVE DOING
AND BE CONNECTED WITH A GREAT
00:01:33.73\00:01:37.26
ORGANIZATION WITH A FANTASTIC
MISSION TO FINISH GOD'S WORK."
00:01:37.26\00:01:41.40
AND YOU ARE THE PERFECT PERSON
TO BE IN CHARGE OF THAT REGION
00:01:41.40\00:01:43.43
BECAUSE YOU ARE
ORIGINALLY FROM INDIA.
00:01:43.43\00:01:46.26
YES, I AM, AND I LOVE INDIA.
00:01:46.26\00:01:51.63
TELL US A LITTLE
ABOUT YOUR REGION OF INDIA.
00:01:51.63\00:01:54.76
MY REGION IS THE
SOUTHERN PART OF INDIA.
00:01:54.76\00:01:58.46
THE MAJOR LANGUAGE
SPOKEN THERE IS TELUGU .
00:01:58.46\00:02:00.70
DO YOU SPEAK THAT?
00:02:00.70\00:02:04.76
I SPEAK A LITTLE BIT OF IT,
BUT I CANNOT GIVE LECTURES IN
00:02:04.76\00:02:09.90
TELUGU. THE WHOLE
REGION IS FULL OF MY FRIENDS.
00:02:09.90\00:02:14.86
THEY EITHER WENT TO SCHOOL
WITH ME OR THEIR PARENTS WENT TO
00:02:14.86\00:02:20.73
SCHOOL WITH ME, SO I HAVE AN
INCREDIBLE VACATION, I SHOULD
SAY, WHEN I GO THERE.
00:02:20.73\00:02:21.83
I'M CONNECTED.
00:02:21.83\00:02:30.00
THE PRESIDENT OF THE EAST
CENTRAL INDIA UNION IS A DEAR
00:02:30.00\00:02:34.73
FRIEND OF MINE. THE GOOD PART OF
WORKING WITH THIS CROWD IS THEY
00:02:34.73\00:02:36.50
ACTUALLY BELIEVE YOU
WHEN YOU SAY SOMETHING.
00:02:36.50\00:02:39.40
THAT IS SUCH A REFRESHING THING.
00:02:39.40\00:02:44.40
THEY ARE HUNGRY FOR KNOWING MORE
BECAUSE THEY ARE SO DEDICATED.
00:02:44.40\00:02:48.46
I WISH I WAS HALF AS DEDICATED
AND HARD WORKING AS THEY ARE.
00:02:48.46\00:02:52.80
THEY ARE
ABSOLUTELY DEDICATED PEOPLE.
00:02:52.80\00:02:54.13
WHAT A COMPLIMENT TO THEM.
00:02:54.13\00:02:59.13
NOT ONLY ARE YOU WANTING TO MAKE
FRIENDS, BUT WITH YOUR
BACKGROUND IN PUBLIC
00:02:59.13\00:03:02.80
HEALTH YOU HAVE A
LOT TO OFFER THE PEOPLE.
00:03:02.80\00:03:11.56
ALL OVER INDIA I COLLABORATE
WITH OTHER REGIONAL DIRECTORS AS
00:03:11.56\00:03:16.80
WELL. OUR WHOLE FOCUS IS TO
CHANGE THE CHARACTER OF WHAT WE
00:03:16.80\00:03:23.90
DO IN INDIA. WE WANT TO LET
PEOPLE KNOW THAT COMING TO JESUS
MUST CHANGE EVERYTHING ABOUT
00:03:23.90\00:03:25.83
THEM. THEY
SHOULD LIVE HEALTHIER.
00:03:25.83\00:03:29.13
THEY SHOULD HAVE A CLOSER
SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
00:03:29.13\00:03:34.46
THEY SHOULD BE BETTER EDUCATED
AND THEY SHOULD HAVE BETTER
00:03:34.46\00:03:41.56
ECONOMIC HEALTH. SO WE SERVE THE
TOTAL PERSON NOT JUST ONE ASPECT
00:03:41.56\00:03:43.56
OF AN INDIVIDUAL--
SPIRITUAL, PHYSICAL, MENTAL.
00:03:43.56\00:03:44.86
ALL OF THAT?
00:03:44.86\00:03:45.83
ABSOLUTELY.
00:03:45.83\00:03:50.63
TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT THE
SPIRITUAL CLIMATE OF INDIA.
00:03:50.63\00:03:54.20
I HAVE A FEW SLIDES THAT I
WANT TO SHOW YOU AT THIS TIME.
00:03:54.20\00:03:59.33
I CALL INDIA THE
SPIRITUAL MECCA OF THE WORLD.
00:03:59.33\00:04:01.20
WHY DO YOU CALL IT THAT?
00:04:01.20\00:04:02.76
TAKE A LOOK HERE.
00:04:02.76\00:04:08.83
INDIA HAS GIVEN BIRTH TO FIVE
DIFFERENT RELIGIONS, THE MAJOR
00:04:08.83\00:04:10.13
RELIGION BEING HINDUISM .
00:04:10.13\00:04:15.63
HINDUISM IS EMBRACED BY
APPROXIMATELY 89 PERCENT OF THE
00:04:15.63\00:04:25.30
PEOPLE. THIS GENTLEMAN
IS CARRYING A LITTLE CART.
00:04:25.30\00:04:29.06
SEE HOW HE IS
PEDDLING THIS CART?
00:04:29.06\00:04:37.33
HE IS ACTUALLY MEASURING
THE DISTANCE FROM HIS PLACE OF
00:04:37.33\00:04:39.43
RESIDENCE TO THE
HOLY RIVER GANGES .
00:04:39.43\00:04:45.20
THIS IS THE HOLY RIVER GANGES
WHICH IS HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS
00:04:45.20\00:04:47.70
OF MILES AWAY FROM
HIS PLACE OF RESIDENCE.
00:04:47.70\00:04:50.76
HE IS GOING TO MEASURE THE
DISTANCE WITH HIS OWN BODY.
00:04:50.76\00:04:52.60
THE WHOLE WAY?
00:04:52.60\00:04:54.36
YES.
00:04:54.36\00:05:03.03
THAT IS HIS WAY OF GAINING A
BETTER RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND
00:05:03.03\00:05:11.36
IMPROVING HIMSELF SPIRITUALLY SO
HE CAN GET WHAT WE CALL NIRVANA
AND THAT IS SALVATION.
00:05:11.36\00:05:16.20
THAT'S HOW THEY BELIEVE HE CAN
GET NIRVANA OR COMING HERE AND
00:05:16.20\00:05:21.43
BATHING IN THIS BEAUTIFUL RIVER
AND GETTING YOUR SINS FORGIVEN.
00:05:21.43\00:05:23.56
THIS IS NOT A FOREIGN CONCEPT.
00:05:23.56\00:05:27.43
YOU REMEMBER THERE USED TO BE
PEOPLE SITTING AROUND THE POOL
00:05:27.43\00:05:30.53
OF BETHESDA. THIS IS
A VERY ANCIENT CUSTOM.
00:05:30.53\00:05:36.30
ALMOST EVERYTHING HINDUS BELIEVE
IN TERMS OF THEIR SYMBOLS IS IN
00:05:36.30\00:05:42.60
THE BIBLE. I HAVE BEEN STUDYING
THAT AND I'M ABLE TO CONNECT
WITH OUR HINDU BROTHERS
00:05:42.60\00:05:46.00
AND SISTERS BECAUSE ALL THEIR
BELIEFS ARE RIGHT IN THE BIBLE.
00:05:46.00\00:05:50.20
WHEN WE SIMPLY SHOW
THEM THAT, THEY SAY, "OH."
00:05:50.20\00:05:56.23
ALL OF OUR MINISTRY IS BASED ON
THE CONCEPT OF ONE FATHER, ONE
00:05:56.23\00:06:04.33
FAMILY. WHEN YOU SHARE THIS WITH
THEM, IT ALL OF A SUDDEN MAKES
GREAT SENSE TO THEM.
00:06:04.33\00:06:06.70
I WANT TO SHOW
YOU ANOTHER SLIDE.
00:06:06.70\00:06:11.63
HERE IS A VERY MAJOR
HINDU TEMPLE IN NEW DELHI.
00:06:11.63\00:06:16.30
OVER ONE MILLION
PEOPLE A DAY VISIT THIS PLACE.
00:06:16.30\00:06:20.00
THAT'S A LOT OF PEOPLE.
00:06:20.00\00:06:23.06
OF COURSE, INDIA
HAS A LOT OF PEOPLE.
00:06:23.06\00:06:26.73
THEY ARE SPIRITUALLY INCLINED.
00:06:26.73\00:06:33.03
EVERYTHING FOR A HINDU OR A
BELIEVER IN INDIA IS AN ACT OF
00:06:33.03\00:06:37.73
WORSHIP. FROM THE TIME YOU WAKE
UP TO THE TIME YOU GO TO BED,
IT'S AN ACT OF WORSHIP.
00:06:37.73\00:06:43.50
IT'S A HIGHLY ETHICAL AND
HIGHLY SPIRITUAL WAY OF LIFE.
00:06:43.50\00:06:44.80
IT'S NOT A RELIGION.
00:06:44.80\00:06:46.56
HINDUISM IS A WAY OF LIFE.
00:06:46.56\00:06:50.10
SO IS THE AIR YOU
BREATH, EVERYTHING.
00:06:50.10\00:06:56.23
IN FACT, ALL OF THAT IS
VENERATED IN WORSHIP, AND I WILL
00:06:56.23\00:06:57.50
BRIEFLY DESCRIBE THAT LATER.
00:06:57.50\00:07:05.36
THE OTHER BIG RELIGION, WHICH
IS NOT BIG ANYMORE IN INDIA, IS
00:07:05.36\00:07:11.70
BUDDHISM . IT ALSO
HAD ITS BIRTH IN INDIA.
00:07:11.70\00:07:16.50
TODAY WE HAVE MORE BUDDHISTS
OUTSIDE OF INDIA THAN IN INDIA.
00:07:16.50\00:07:21.00
THE NEXT RELIGION IS JAINISM .
00:07:21.00\00:07:31.13
BOTH BUDDHISM AND JAINISM
ARE OFFSHOOTS OF HINDUISM.
00:07:31.13\00:07:37.70
THEY CAME AS A PROTEST AGAINST
RITUALS, CHILD SACRIFICES,
00:07:37.70\00:07:45.43
TEMPLE PROSTITUTION AND CAST
SYSTEM, ETC. THESE TWO RELIGIONS
00:07:45.43\00:07:49.16
HAVE DRASTICALLY MOVED
AWAY FROM THE TRADITIONAL HINDU
00:07:49.16\00:07:56.03
CEREMONIES. JAINISM IS
THE STRICTEST OF THE STRICTEST
00:07:56.03\00:07:58.20
VEGETARIANS. WHAT
WILL THEY NOT EAT?
00:07:58.20\00:08:03.60
THEY DO NOT EAT ANYTHING THAT
CREEPS, CRAWLS, FLIES, BITES,
00:08:03.60\00:08:10.03
SWIMS OR TALKS BACK AND NOTHING
IN THE GROUND THAT GROWS ROOTS.
00:08:10.03\00:08:15.06
THEY WILL NOT EAT POTATOES OR
YAM BECAUSE THEY HAVE ROOTS AND
00:08:15.06\00:08:18.46
THEY REINCARNATE,
SO TO SAY, THEMSELVES.
00:08:18.46\00:08:24.43
THIS IS A GREAT
VEGETARIAN WAY OF LIFE.
00:08:24.43\00:08:35.56
THE NEXT RELIGION THAT
ALSO BEGAN IN INDIA IS SIKHISM .
00:08:35.56\00:08:43.43
YOU HAVE SEEN SIKHS WITH
TURBANS, ETC. THE GOLDEN TEMPLE
00:08:43.43\00:08:46.30
IS THEIR MOST
SACRED PLACE OF WORSHIP.
00:08:46.30\00:08:52.73
IT IS IN THE CITY OF AMRITSAR
IN THE NORTHERN PROVINCE.
00:08:52.73\00:08:59.33
YOU WILL SEE HUNDREDS AND
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE VISITING
00:08:59.33\00:09:03.43
THIS PLACE WHERE THEY
HAVE THE MOST SACRED CENTER.
00:09:03.43\00:09:13.46
PEOPLE THROW MONEY IN DONATIONS
IN LOCAL DOLLARS OF $500, $1000.
00:09:13.46\00:09:18.70
IT IS SUCH A
PHILANTHROPIC RELIGION.
00:09:18.70\00:09:24.90
ALMOST EVERYWHERE THEY WILL HAVE
A PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO EAT ALONG
00:09:24.90\00:09:35.43
THE ROADSIDE. WHEN SIKHISM
STARTED BY GURU NANAK DEV, IT
WAS AGAINST THE HINDU RITUAL
00:09:35.43\00:09:37.00
OF CASTE SYSTEM.
00:09:37.00\00:09:44.56
HE WANTED TO GIVE EVERYBODY
A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP, A FAMILY
00:09:44.56\00:09:49.30
FEELING. THE WORD SIKH MEANS
BROTHERHOOD, SO IT MEANS
EVERYBODY MEETS AT THE
00:09:49.30\00:09:50.63
SAME LEVEL.
00:09:50.63\00:09:51.93
WHAT A GREAT CONCEPT THAT IS.
00:09:51.93\00:10:00.36
SO THAT'S WHY I CALL INDIA THE
SPIRITUAL MECCA OF THE WORLD.
00:10:00.36\00:10:07.53
ANOTHER BIG RELIGION WHICH IS
ACTUALLY VERY COMMON IN MOST OF
00:10:07.53\00:10:09.26
THE WORLD RIGHT NOW IS ISLAM .
00:10:09.26\00:10:15.76
ISLAM DID NOT HAVE ITS
BEGINNINGS IN INDIA BUT MUSLIMS
00:10:15.76\00:10:17.30
RULED INDIA FOR
NEARLY A THOUSAND YEARS.
00:10:17.30\00:10:25.93
INDIA'S ART AND CULTURE AND
HISTORY ARE GREATLY AFFECTED BY
00:10:25.93\00:10:32.00
THE MUSLIM RULE. THIS PARTICULAR
PLACE IS THE TAJ MAHAL ,
PEOPLE'S DREAM TO GO AND VISIT.
00:10:32.00\00:10:39.30
THIS IS A LIVING MONUMENT, SO TO
SAY, TO THE MEMORY OF ISLAM OVER
00:10:39.30\00:10:43.96
THERE AND TO THE IDEA OF
ONE MAN'S LOVE FOR HIS QUEEN.
00:10:43.96\00:10:48.73
IT TOOK THEM
ALMOST 30 YEARS TO BUILD.
00:10:48.73\00:10:53.13
FIFTY THOUSAND PEOPLE WORKED
FOR 30 YEARS TO BUILD THIS.
00:10:53.13\00:11:02.33
UNFORTUNATELY THE QUEEN, MUMTAZ
, DIED GIVING BIRTH TO HER 14TH
00:11:02.33\00:11:03.63
CHILD. FOURTEENTH CHILD?
00:11:03.63\00:11:06.03
WELL, THAT'S NOT AS
MANY AS THEY COULD HAVE.
00:11:06.03\00:11:10.23
SO SHE NEVER
REALLY GOT TO LIVE THERE.
00:11:10.23\00:11:13.93
THIS IS A MONUMENT
WHERE THEY ARE BOTH BURIED.
00:11:13.93\00:11:21.70
INDIA HAS HAD NOTHING BUT
A GREAT SPIRITUAL REVIVAL.
00:11:21.70\00:11:25.16
THE OTHER THING IS THAT
INDIA HAS A LOT OF PEOPLE.
00:11:25.16\00:11:28.90
IT HAS 1.2 BILLION PEOPLE.
00:11:28.90\00:11:34.83
A THOUSAND
MILLION MAKE A BILLION.
00:11:34.83\00:11:39.50
WE HAVE ONLY 360 MILLION
PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES,
00:11:39.50\00:11:41.46
AND WE THINK IT'S
A CROWDED COUNTRY.
00:11:41.46\00:11:49.03
INDIA IS THREE TIMES SMALLER
GEOGRAPHICALLY THAN THE UNITED
00:11:49.03\00:11:52.10
STATES, BUT IT HAS
THREE TIMES MORE PEOPLE.
00:11:52.10\00:11:55.63
ALSO IT HAS ALMOST 14
HUNDRED DIALECTS AND LANGUAGES.
00:11:55.63\00:12:03.73
AND WE THINK OUR FEW LANGUAGES
IN THIS COUNTRY ARE A PROBLEM.
00:12:03.73\00:12:05.56
TRY MANAGING INDIA.
00:12:05.56\00:12:10.80
SO THAT'S WHY I HAVE
GREAT RESPECT FOR THE LAND OF
00:12:10.80\00:12:13.80
INDIA--THE LARGEST
DEMOCRACY AND RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
00:12:13.80\00:12:17.26
THAT'S WHY I BELIEVE
THE CLIMATE IS SO RIGHT.
00:12:17.26\00:12:25.63
IN JOEL 3:14 IT SAYS
"MULTITUDES, MULTITUDES IN THE
VALLEY OF DECISION.
00:12:25.63\00:12:31.40
FOR THE DAY OF THE LORD IS
NEAR IN THE VALLEY OF DECISION."
00:12:31.40\00:12:34.06
WE KNOW THAT OUR LORD
IS COMING VERY, VERY SOON.
00:12:34.06\00:12:40.66
HERE WE HAVE A POTENTIAL OF
REACHING OVER A BILLION PEOPLE.
00:12:40.66\00:12:47.03
IF WE ACTUALLY BELIEVE
THAT THERE IS ONE FATHER AND ONE
00:12:47.03\00:12:59.43
FAMILY, THEN YOU UNDERSTAND WHY
YOU WOULD BE SO PASSIONATE TO BE
LOVING INDIA AND WANTING
00:12:59.43\00:13:02.66
TO SHARE WHAT YOU CAN WITH THEM.
00:13:02.66\00:13:08.03
THAT'S A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY
TO LET YOU KNOW MORE ABOUT
00:13:08.03\00:13:12.63
GOSPEL OUTREACH. HERE AT GOSPEL
OUTREACH YOU CAN GET INVOLVED BY
GIVING YOUR DONATIONS.
00:13:12.63\00:13:16.46
MAYBE YOU CAN'T GO ON A TRIP
LIKE MANZOOR HAS BEEN ABLE TO
00:13:16.46\00:13:19.70
DO, BUT YOU CERTAINLY CAN
DONATE TO GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:13:19.70\00:13:23.13
IN ORDER TO DO
THAT IT IS VERY SIMPLE.
00:13:23.13\00:13:26.23
JUST SEND YOUR DONATION TO
00:13:26.23\00:13:29.46
.
00:13:34.23\00:13:41.23
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS RUN
BY VOLUNTEERS JUST LIKE YOU
00:13:44.76\00:13:50.56
MANZOOR. YOU CAN GET INVOLVED BY
YOUR DONATION TO HELP THE
WORKERS IN INDIA WHICH WE
00:13:50.56\00:13:52.03
WILL HEAR MORE ABOUT.
00:13:52.03\00:13:55.70
THERE IS ALSO GOSPEL
OUTREACH UP IN CANADA.
00:13:55.70\00:13:57.10
THAT ADDRESS IS:
00:13:57.10\00:14:00.96
MANZOOR, YOU WERE ON
A RECENT TRIP TO INDIA.
00:14:13.30\00:14:16.56
TELL US A LITTLE
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED THERE.
00:14:16.56\00:14:26.76
I WANT TO BASE MY COMMENTS ON
THE FACT THAT JESUS HAS ASKED US
00:14:26.76\00:14:29.00
TO PREPARE THE WAY FOR
THE COMING OF THE LORD.
00:14:29.00\00:14:36.40
WHEN YOU LOOK AT TEEMING
MILLIONS AND MILLIONS, YOU KNOW
THAT THE HARVEST IS
00:14:36.40\00:14:39.86
REALLY RIPE AND THEY ARE READY.
00:14:39.86\00:14:43.46
THIS IS THE BEAUTY OF
ALL THE RELIGIONS IN INDIA.
00:14:43.46\00:14:45.96
THEY NEVER OPPOSE ANYTHING.
00:14:45.96\00:14:48.80
THEY WILL ACCEPT WHATEVER
YOU ARE SHARING WITH THEM.
00:14:48.80\00:14:51.50
THEY WILL ACCEPT JESUS.
00:14:51.50\00:14:56.26
THEIR PROBLEM IS HOW TO
GIVE UP WHAT THEY ALREADY HAVE.
00:14:56.26\00:14:59.83
IT'S A VERY
ACCOMMODATING WAY OF LIFE.
00:14:59.83\00:15:09.13
THE BELIEFS THAT HINDUS HAVE
WERE DEVELOPED BY GURUS WHO WERE
00:15:09.13\00:15:14.00
DEALING WITH PEOPLE WHO DID NOT
USE A LOT OF ABSTRACT THINKING,
00:15:14.00\00:15:16.70
AND THEY NEEDED SYMBOLS
TO ACTUALLY EDUCATE THEM.
00:15:16.70\00:15:21.13
THAT AGAIN IS NOT AN
ALIEN WAY OF DOING THAT.
00:15:21.13\00:15:27.50
THE BIBLE IS FULL OF SYMBOLS
AND SYMBOLS IN ALL OF DANIEL AND
00:15:27.50\00:15:32.26
REVELATION. YOU TALK ABOUT THE
ANIMALS IN SHARING ALL KINDS OF
TRUTHS ABOUT THE FUTURE.
00:15:32.26\00:15:36.83
SO INDIA HAS A TREMENDOUS
AMOUNT IN COMMON WITH US.
00:15:36.83\00:15:44.93
BASED ON THE FACT THAT JESUS
SAID THE HARVEST IS READY AND
00:15:44.93\00:15:48.76
IT'S PLENTEOUS, IN OUR
CASE IN INDIA, IT DEFINITELY IS
00:15:48.76\00:15:56.20
PLENTEOUS. IN MY REGION OF
SOUTHERN INDIA, WE ARE NOW
UNDERTAKING A VERY MAJOR
00:15:56.20\00:16:00.80
INITIATIVE. IT IS A 500
VILLAGE EVANGELISTIC CAMPAIGN.
00:16:00.80\00:16:03.70
FIVE HUNDRED VILLAGES?
00:16:03.70\00:16:04.56
YES.
00:16:04.56\00:16:11.86
WITH THE SUPPORT FROM OUR
DEDICATED PRAYER PARTNERS,
GOSPEL OUTREACH SPONSORS
00:16:11.86\00:16:14.86
OVER 1000 WORKERS.
00:16:14.86\00:16:18.33
HALF OF THOSE ARE IN MY REGION.
00:16:18.33\00:16:24.63
WE ARE TAKING ON THIS 500
VILLAGE EVANGELISTIC CAMPAIGN
00:16:24.63\00:16:28.83
WHERE WORKERS WILL BE TAKING
CARE OF TWO, THREE, OR FIVE
00:16:28.83\00:16:31.06
VILLAGES EACH. WE
GO TO THE VILLAGE.
00:16:31.06\00:16:38.80
WE TELL THE LEADERS WE ARE
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST BELIEVERS,
00:16:38.80\00:16:41.80
THAT WE BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE AND
WE WOULD LIKE TO COME AND HOLD
00:16:41.80\00:16:47.13
MEETINGS HERE. IF THEY SAY YES
WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR MORE, THEN
WE SELECT THAT VILLAGE.
00:16:47.13\00:16:51.66
IF THEY SAY NO, WE MOVE ON
TO THE NEXT VILLAGE BECAUSE THE
00:16:51.66\00:16:52.93
TIMING IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US.
00:16:52.93\00:16:54.70
WE DON'T WANT TO WASTE TIME.
00:16:54.70\00:16:59.56
RIGHT NOW AS WE SPEAK, THERE
ARE 100 VILLAGES ALREADY ON
00:16:59.56\00:17:11.26
SCHEDULE. WE HAVE 400 MORE
VILLAGES WE WILL BE ENTERING.
00:17:11.26\00:17:13.83
HOW LONG ARE THESE
EVANGELISTIC SERIES?
00:17:13.83\00:17:20.40
THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS WILL
BE ASSIGNED ONE OR TWO VILLAGES.
00:17:20.40\00:17:23.63
THEY WILL GO AND PREPARE THE
GROUND FOR TWO, THREE OR FOUR
00:17:23.63\00:17:27.36
MONTHS. THEN THE
EVANGELISTIC TEAM COMES IN.
00:17:27.36\00:17:32.96
WE ARE SEARCHING FOR 50 TEAMS
FROM THE UNITED STATES OR CANADA
00:17:32.96\00:17:34.36
WHO ARE WILLING TO COME.
00:17:34.36\00:17:39.90
THEY WILL THEN HOLD MEETINGS
FOR TEN VILLAGES AT A TIME.
00:17:39.90\00:17:45.03
EACH EVENING WE WILL BRING
PEOPLE FROM TEN VILLAGES TO ONE
00:17:45.03\00:17:49.23
LOCATION. WE FEED THEM, GIVE
THEM THE MESSAGE AND TAKE THEM
BACK TO THEIR VILLAGES.
00:17:49.23\00:17:54.76
WHILE THE CAMPAIGN IS GOING ON,
WE ARE BUILDING A CHURCH IN THE
00:17:54.76\00:18:00.63
VILLAGES, SO WHEN THEY GO BACK,
THEY WILL BE WORSHIPPING IN
00:18:00.63\00:18:04.73
THEIR OWN CHURCH. A TEMPLE
IS A SYMBOL OF UNITY IN INDIA.
00:18:04.73\00:18:09.50
SO WHEN YOU HAVE A TEMPLE, THEN
YOU ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET
00:18:09.50\00:18:14.73
TOGETHER. IT'S A VERY
WELL ORGANIZED PROGRAM.
00:18:14.73\00:18:20.66
THE EVANGELISTIC TEAM DOES THE
CAMPAIGN FOR TWO OR THREE WEEKS.
00:18:20.66\00:18:24.93
THEN THEY BAPTIZE PEOPLE AND
THESE PEOPLE ARE GOING BACK INTO
THEIR OWN CHURCHES.
00:18:24.93\00:18:30.60
THEN WE ASSIGN A WORKER WHO WILL
TAKE CARE OF TWO VILLAGES AT A
00:18:30.60\00:18:36.33
TIME. WE ARE NOT GOING TO LEAVE
THEM PARENTLESS, SO TO SAY.
00:18:36.33\00:18:43.16
THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE
THAT IS WHAT SOLIDIFIES YOUR
00:18:43.16\00:18:48.63
WORK AND ESTABLISHES A BASE SO
THAT PEOPLE WILL NOT BACKSLIDE.
00:18:48.63\00:18:52.86
OTHERWISE, IF YOU DON'T HAVE
THE SOCIAL SUPPORT AND YOU DON'T
00:18:52.86\00:18:55.20
HAVE A PLACE TO
WORSHIP, PEOPLE WILL GO BACK.
00:18:55.20\00:19:01.20
OUR VIEWERS WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY
DELIGHTED IF THEY COULD GO WITH
00:19:01.20\00:19:04.83
US. WE HAVE
SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY.
00:19:04.83\00:19:06.60
HOW CAN PEOPLE GET INVOLVED?
00:19:06.60\00:19:11.03
THEY CAN CALL ME
OR GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:19:11.03\00:19:18.50
MY NUMBER IS 661-304-1080.
00:19:18.50\00:19:29.60
BUT THEY CAN ALWAYS CALL GOSPEL
OUTREACH AND THAT PHONE NUMBER
00:19:29.60\00:19:36.30
IS: 509-525-2951.
00:19:36.30\00:19:44.90
IN CANADA THE PHONE
NUMBER IS: 250-545-2212.
00:19:44.90\00:19:52.76
HERE ARE A FEW MORE SLIDES
TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE AS TO WHAT
00:19:52.76\00:19:54.50
HAPPENED DURING MY RECENT VISIT.
00:19:54.50\00:19:58.50
I'M TEACHING ALL OF OUR GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS THAT THEY MUST
00:19:58.50\00:20:01.60
BE PASSIONATE ABOUT
SPREADING GOD'S WORD.
00:20:01.60\00:20:04.53
I ASK THEM TO REPEAT A SENTENCE.
00:20:04.53\00:20:11.56
THE SENTENCE IS "THE MAIN THING
IS THAT THE MAIN THING IS THE
00:20:11.56\00:20:13.03
MAIN THING." SAY
THAT AGAIN PLEASE.
00:20:13.03\00:20:14.66
THE MAIN THING IS THAT THE
MAIN THING IS THE MAIN THING.
00:20:14.66\00:20:16.10
SO WHAT IS THE MAIN THING
IN YOUR LIFE AS A BELIEVER?
00:20:16.10\00:20:18.26
AS A PARTNER FOR GOSPEL
OUTREACH, WHAT IS THE MAIN
00:20:18.26\00:20:21.76
THING? ISN'T THE MAIN THING TO
FINISH THE WORK SO THAT WE CAN
ALL BE TOGETHER WITH
00:20:21.76\00:20:23.73
OUR LORD AND SAVIOR?
00:20:23.73\00:20:25.33
THAT IS THE MAIN THING.
00:20:25.33\00:20:27.96
AND THE MAIN THING IS TO
TELL OTHER BROTHERS AND SISTERS
00:20:27.96\00:20:30.30
THAT THIS WORLD IS ABOUT TO END.
00:20:30.30\00:20:34.86
WE'VE GOT TO GET INTO THE BOAT
BECAUSE THE BOAT IS GOING TO BE
00:20:34.86\00:20:37.80
LEAVING SOON. SO THAT IS THE
MAIN THING, MAKING FRIENDS FOR
00:20:37.80\00:20:41.10
GOD. SO WHAT DID
WE DO THIS PAST VISIT?
00:20:41.10\00:20:45.30
THIS IS OUR LEADERSHIP IN
THE EAST CENTRAL INDIA UNION.
00:20:45.30\00:20:47.30
THESE ARE GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS?
00:20:47.30\00:20:48.53
THESE ARE THE LEADERS.
00:20:48.53\00:20:52.33
THE FIRST GENTLEMAN IS THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNION, THEN THE
00:20:52.33\00:20:58.86
EDUCATION DIRECTOR AND FOLLOWING
HIM IS THE CONFERENCE PRESIDENT
00:20:58.86\00:20:59.86
AND THE TREASURER.
00:20:59.86\00:21:05.86
WE ARE TRYING TO COMBINE THE
EFFORTS OF THE EDUCATION PEOPLE,
00:21:05.86\00:21:08.36
THE CHURCH PEOPLE, AS
WELL AS THE HOSPITAL PEOPLE.
00:21:08.36\00:21:10.80
IT'S A TOTAL MINISTRY.
00:21:10.80\00:21:12.80
JUST WHAT WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT EARLIER.
00:21:12.80\00:21:13.90
EXACTLY.
00:21:13.90\00:21:16.26
WE MUST SERVE THE TOTAL PERSON.
00:21:16.26\00:21:19.90
HERE ARE SOME OF THE
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS.
00:21:19.90\00:21:23.56
THEY ARE SINGING IN THE
TRAINING MEETING THAT WE HELD.
00:21:23.56\00:21:27.76
THEY MUST HAVE
BEEN REALLY EXCITED.
00:21:27.76\00:21:31.70
THEY'RE CLAPPING WHEN I WAS
PREACHING, SO THAT'S A VERY GOOD
00:21:31.70\00:21:33.00
SLIDE, ISN'T
IT? PRAISE THE LORD.
00:21:33.00\00:21:37.13
THERE ARE 550
WORKERS IN YOUR REGION?
00:21:37.13\00:21:40.20
ACTUALLY THERE
WILL BE 648 VERY SOON.
00:21:40.20\00:21:45.53
HERE WE HAVE
BOTH LADIES AND MEN.
00:21:45.53\00:21:49.10
THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY INSPIRING.
00:21:49.10\00:21:53.36
I GET MORE BLESSED BY BEING WITH
THEM THEN I BELIEVE THEY DO.
00:21:53.36\00:21:57.66
I FRANKLY DON'T WANT TO
COME BACK WHEN I'M WITH THEM.
00:21:57.66\00:22:02.36
I'D RATHER BE THERE IF I DIDN'T
HAVE TO WORK AND PAY SOME BILLS
00:22:02.36\00:22:07.03
AS WELL. EIGHTY-FIVE PERCENT OF
ALL THE BAPTISMS IN THE SOUTHERN
00:22:07.03\00:22:09.80
ASIA DIVISION ARE AS A RESULT
OF THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS.
00:22:09.80\00:22:15.03
I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT FOR ALL
OF OUR LISTENERS AND OUR PRAYER
PARTNERS AND DONORS.
00:22:15.03\00:22:21.03
WHERE COULD YOU INVEST BETTER
WHEN YOU HAVE AN ORGANIZATION
00:22:21.03\00:22:26.60
WITH ZERO OVERHEAD AND 100
PERCENT OF YOUR CONTRIBUTION IS
GOING TO FINISH GOD'S WORK
00:22:26.60\00:22:29.13
AND IT'S PRODUCING RESULTS.
00:22:29.13\00:22:34.70
EIGHTY-FIVE PERCENT OF THE
BAPTISMS IN THIS GREAT LAND OF
00:22:34.70\00:22:40.20
INDIA ARE A RESULT OF
THE EFFORTS OF OUR DONORS
00:22:40.20\00:22:42.90
CONTRIBUTIONS. AND PEOPLE ARE
ACCEPTING CHRIST AS THEIR LORD?
00:22:42.90\00:22:43.93
ABSOLUTELY.
00:22:43.93\00:22:49.43
SO I TELL PEOPLE, IT'S A
GREAT TIME TO BEAT THE DRUMS FOR
00:22:49.43\00:22:50.70
JESUS. THAT'S PERFECT.
00:22:50.70\00:22:56.63
WHAT WOULD YOU ENCOURAGE SOMEONE
TO DO WHO IS WATCHING AND
00:22:56.63\00:22:58.53
WONDERING HOW
THEY CAN GET INVOLVED?
00:22:58.53\00:23:05.13
IS THERE SOMEONE WHO COMES TO
MIND WHO YOU MET OVER THERE THAT
00:23:05.13\00:23:08.13
YOU WANT TO SAY THIS
PERSON FOUND THE LORD.
00:23:08.13\00:23:13.06
LET ME SHARE WITH YOU A COUPLE
MORE SLIDES HERE IF WE HAVE THE
00:23:13.06\00:23:25.13
TIME. WE ARE TEACHING OUR PEOPLE
THAT WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE
INDEPENDENT PASTORS.
00:23:25.13\00:23:30.46
I'M GOING TO MAKE A FULL
PRESENTATION ON SUNDAY ON THIS
00:23:30.46\00:23:35.76
VERY TOPIC. WE ARE NOW MOVING ON
TO PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT CONNECTED
00:23:35.76\00:23:40.03
TO ANY ORGANIZATION AND HAVE NO
OTHER DENOMINATION BUT THEY ARE
00:23:40.03\00:23:42.96
PASTORS. THEY
HAVE THEIR OWN CHURCH.
00:23:42.96\00:23:45.26
THEY MAY HAVE ONE,
TWO OR THREE CHURCHES.
00:23:45.26\00:23:48.26
THEY ARE KIND OF
THEIR OWN ORGANIZATION.
00:23:48.26\00:23:52.46
WE ARE NOW FOCUSING
IN REACHING OUT TO THEM.
00:23:52.46\00:23:56.66
IT IS A FASCINATING PROGRAM
THAT WE HAVE DEVELOPED FOR OTHER
00:23:56.66\00:24:02.16
CHRISTIAN PASTORS WHO
ARE NOT ADVENTIST PASTORS.
00:24:02.16\00:24:07.13
THEY ARE SO HUNGRY
TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IT.
00:24:07.13\00:24:11.10
WE HAVE DEVELOPED A VERY
SPECIAL PROGRAM FOR THEM.
00:24:11.10\00:24:14.03
COMING BACK TO HOW
CAN PEOPLE BE INVOLVED.
00:24:14.03\00:24:16.90
I TELL YOU WE HAVE
NEED OF EVERY KIND.
00:24:16.90\00:24:21.03
AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, WE
WANT TO SERVE THE TOTAL PERSON.
00:24:21.03\00:24:26.03
IF SOMEBODY CAN TEACH, WE WILL
HAVE A PLACE FOR THEM BECAUSE WE
00:24:26.03\00:24:29.20
HAVE AN ADULT LITERACY
PROGRAM AS PART OF OUR OUTREACH.
00:24:29.20\00:24:32.70
OUR PEOPLE SHOULD BE
ABLE TO READ THE BIBLE.
00:24:32.70\00:24:38.20
IF THEY CAN READ THE BIBLE, THEY
CAN HELP THEIR PASTOR AND THEY
CAN SHARE WITH OTHERS.
00:24:38.20\00:24:39.13
EXACTLY.
00:24:39.13\00:24:40.56
SO THAT'S ONE NEED.
00:24:40.56\00:24:44.36
SO IF YOU ARE A TEACHER AND YOU
ARE A HOMEMAKER AND YOU CAN READ
00:24:44.36\00:24:47.90
AND WRITE AND YOU CAN HELP THESE
PEOPLE, YOU CAN BE PART OF THE
00:24:47.90\00:24:54.80
TEAM. IF YOU ARE IN THE MEDICAL
FIELD, WE COULD UTILIZE THE
SKILLS OF NURSES, DOCTORS,
00:24:54.80\00:24:58.86
DENTISTS. I USUALLY HAVE THESE
INDIVIDUALS AS PART OF THE TEAM.
00:24:58.86\00:25:01.93
SO PEOPLE CAN GET
INVOLVED THAT WAY AS WELL?
00:25:01.93\00:25:02.86
ABSOLUTELY.
00:25:02.86\00:25:06.83
WE ALSO ARE TRYING TO
START OCCUPATIONAL TRAINING.
00:25:06.83\00:25:12.26
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS NOT FUNDING
SOME OF THESE EFFORTS BECAUSE
00:25:12.26\00:25:13.63
OUR SERVICE IS VERY LIMITED.
00:25:13.63\00:25:15.96
WE ARE SUPPORTING ONLY
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS.
00:25:15.96\00:25:20.93
BUT I'M FINDING OTHER RESOURCES
AND CONNECTING WITH LOCAL
00:25:20.93\00:25:23.66
RESOURCES SO THAT WE CAN
SET UP THESE KINDS OF PROGRAMS.
00:25:23.66\00:25:28.46
WITH THE HELP OF MY ROTARY CLUB,
FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAVE SET UP A
00:25:28.46\00:25:34.60
SEWING CENTER. WE ALREADY HAVE
THIRTY PEOPLE ENROLLED IN THIS
FIRST SEWING CENTER THAT
00:25:34.60\00:25:36.63
WE SET UP
DURING THIS LAST VISIT.
00:25:36.63\00:25:42.33
WHAT HAPPENS IS THERE ARE MANY
YOUNG GIRLS WHO DID NOT GO TO
00:25:42.33\00:25:45.80
SCHOOL. NOW THEY ARE OF MARRIAGE
AGE, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE AN
00:25:45.80\00:25:51.66
OCCUPATION. BY HAVING AN
OCCUPATION THEY WILL BE ABLE TO
GET BETTER MARRIAGE PROSPECTS.
00:25:51.66\00:25:55.90
THEY WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE A
LIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THEIR
00:25:55.90\00:25:58.30
STATUS GOES UP, AND
IT IS THE WHOLE PERSON.
00:25:58.30\00:26:03.83
WHAT AN INSPIRING TIME
TO VISIT WITH YOU, MANZOOR.
00:26:03.83\00:26:06.90
BLESSINGS TO YOU AS YOU
ARE MINISTERING OVER THERE.
00:26:06.90\00:26:12.26
THAT'S ANOTHER THING, PEOPLE
CAN PRAY AND THEY CAN GIVE THEIR
00:26:12.26\00:26:13.46
SUPPORT HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:26:13.46\00:26:16.50
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE
ON "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS."
00:26:16.50\00:26:20.93
I'M JULIE SANDERS- KEYMER AND WE
WOULD LIKE YOU TO GET INVOLVED.
00:26:20.93\00:26:29.56
YOU CAN GET INVOLVED WITH INDIA
AND HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED IN
00:26:33.30\00:26:35.00
SHARING THE LOVE OF THE
LORD WITH THE PEOPLE IN SOUTHERN
00:26:35.00\00:26:36.83
INDIA. THANK YOU AGAIN,
MANZOOR, FOR BEING HERE WITH US.
00:26:36.83\00:26:38.66
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
00:26:38.66\00:28:16.86
CLOSING MUSIC.
00:28:16.86\00:28:29.73
