OPENING MUSIC.
00:00:02.03\00:00:15.56
HELLO EVERYONE.
00:00:15.56\00:00:17.03
I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO
WELCOME YOU TO ANOTHER
"ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS"
00:00:17.03\00:00:20.60
PROGRAM WHERE WE TALK ABOUT WHAT
GOD IS DOING BY WAY OF BLESSING
00:00:20.60\00:00:26.36
HIS WORK THROUGH THE
MINISTRY OF GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:00:26.36\00:00:29.46
I'M HERE WITH A DEAR FRIEND
AND ONE OF OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:00:29.46\00:00:34.33
LEADERS, PASTOR JOHN BLAKE.
00:00:34.33\00:00:36.33
WELCOME JOHN.
00:00:36.33\00:00:37.70
IT IS SO GOOD TO ALWAYS BE WHERE
YOU ARE AND BE REMINDED THAT YOU
00:00:37.70\00:00:42.03
ARE RIGHT OUT THERE ON A
VERY SPECIAL CUTTING EDGE OF
00:00:42.03\00:00:46.46
MINISTRY. TELL THE FOLKS WHAT
IS YOUR ROLL AT GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:00:46.46\00:00:50.60
I AM THE DEAF MINISTRY DIRECTOR.
00:00:50.60\00:00:55.23
WE HAVE ABOUT 18 HUNDRED WORKERS
ALL TOGETHER, OR MAYBE A LITTLE
00:00:55.23\00:01:00.63
MORE THAN THAT NOW, FOR
THE HEARING AND THE DEAF.
00:01:00.63\00:01:04.10
WE NOW HAVE ABOUT 45 WORKERS
IN SEVEN COUNTRIES FOR DEAF
00:01:04.10\00:01:10.56
MINISTRY. WHEN YOU SAY 45
WORKERS, ARE THES4 HEARING
PEOPLE OR ARE THEY DEAF WORKERS?
00:01:10.56\00:01:18.03
YES AND NO.
00:01:18.03\00:01:20.13
I WOULD EXPECT THAT.
00:01:20.13\00:01:22.16
CLOSE TO 40 % TO 50% ARE DEAF
THEMSELVES AND THE OTHERS ARE
00:01:22.16\00:01:32.70
ONES THAT HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH
THE DEAF OR HAVE LEARNED SIGN
00:01:32.70\00:01:36.30
LANGUAGE. THEY MIGHT HAVE A
DEAF RELATIVE OR A DEAF FRIEND.
00:01:36.30\00:01:39.20
SOME ARE JUST LEARNING SIGN
LANGUAGE AND DOING THE WORK IN
00:01:39.20\00:01:44.56
THEIR AREA. I MUST TELL YOU
FOLKS THAT HAVING VISITED WITH
JOHN BEFORE ABOUT HIS VERY
00:01:44.56\00:01:51.63
SPECIAL, UNQUE MINSTRY THAT
THERE ARE WONDERFUL STORIES THAT
00:01:51.63\00:01:57.33
I AM REMINDED OF
RIGHT NOW AS I THINK BACK.
00:01:57.33\00:01:59.23
TODAY IN THIS PROGRAM, WE ARE
GOING TO TALK ABOUT WHAT JOHN
00:01:59.23\00:02:04.40
WANTS TO CALL NEW DEVELOPMENT
IN THE DEAF MINISTRY.
00:02:04.40\00:02:07.13
I AM GOING TO LET
YOU START FROM THE TOP.
00:02:07.13\00:02:09.53
WHAT IS ONE OF THE MORE EXCITING
DEVELOPMENTS THAT YOUWANT US TO
00:02:09.53\00:02:13.30
KNOW ABOUT? OUR GENERAL
CONFERENCE FOR YEARS HAS HAD NO
ONE WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY IT WAS
00:02:13.30\00:02:19.03
FOR THE DEAF MINISTRY.
00:02:19.03\00:02:21.26
DR. LARRY EVANS AT SPRING
COUNCIL THIS YEAR, 2011, WAS
00:02:21.26\00:02:28.66
JUST APPOINTED A
LIASON FOR THE DEAF MINISTRY.
00:02:28.66\00:02:32.20
HE IS ASSOCIATE
STEWARDSHIP DIRECTOR, AS WELL.
00:02:32.20\00:02:35.46
HIS HEART IS IN DEAF MINISTRY.
00:02:35.46\00:02:39.16
HE HAS HAD EXPERIENCE WITH
DEAF PEOPLE, WORKING IN OREGON.
00:02:39.16\00:02:44.33
HE HAS WORKED WITH OUR
PASTOR IN THE GEORGIA-CUMBERLAND
00:02:44.33\00:02:49.56
CONFERENCE. HE HAS A
BURDEN FOR IT LIKE I DO.
00:02:49.56\00:02:54.03
HE DOES NOT HAVE A DEAF
CHILD SO IT IS NOT AS STRONG
00:02:54.03\00:02:57.60
BUT HE HAS A
HEART FOR THE DEAF WORK.
00:02:57.60\00:03:00.13
I AM JUST THRILLED THAT THE
GENERAL CONFERENCE HAS SOMEONE
THAT WE CAN LOOK TO NOW.
00:03:00.13\00:03:06.83
IT LOOKS LIKE HE AND I WILL
DO A LITTLE BIT OF TRAVELING
00:03:06.83\00:03:10.46
TOGETHER. THE LORD'S ARRANGED IT
THAT IN HIS STEWARDSHIP IN THE
NEXT LITTLE WHILE, HE
00:03:10.46\00:03:16.56
IS GOING TO BE VISITING THREE
AREAS WHERE WE HAVE WORKED FOR
00:03:16.56\00:03:19.83
THE DEAF. THAT IS WONDERFUL!
00:03:19.83\00:03:22.36
SOME TIME WE CAN LOOK FORWARD
TO HAVING LARRY HERE WITH YOU SO
00:03:22.36\00:03:30.50
THAT HE CAN SHARE SOME OF
HIS EXCITEMENT WITH OUR GOSPEL
00:03:30.50\00:03:34.40
OUTREACH FAMILY.
THAT WOULD BE FABULOUS.
00:03:34.40\00:03:35.80
YOUR OTHER ASSISTANT WHO HAD
BEEN WITH YOU FOR SOMETIME IS
00:03:35.80\00:03:42.06
WELL KNOWN TO MANY OF US BECAUSE
OF WHO HIS FATHER, ARTHUR
00:03:42.06\00:03:46.86
GRIFFITH, WAS. TELL US ABOUT
THIS RELATIONSHIP AND HOW YOU
00:03:46.86\00:03:51.23
WORK TOGETHER? YOU
REFERRED TO ARTHUR GRIFFITH.
00:03:51.23\00:03:54.96
HIS FATHER WAS DEAF.
00:03:54.96\00:03:57.13
HE WAS THE FIRST ORDAINED PASTOR
IN THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
CHURCH AS A DEAF MAN.
00:03:57.13\00:04:02.73
HIS SON CALLS HIMSELF
A HEARING, DEAF PERSON.
00:04:02.73\00:04:10.40
BECAUSE HE GREW UP WITH A DEAF
FATHER AND MOTHER IN THE DEAF
00:04:10.40\00:04:14.60
CULTURE, HE ACTUALLY FEELS MORE
AT HOME IN THE DEAF WORLD THAN
00:04:14.60\00:04:19.53
THE HEARING WORLD. I COULDN'T
SAY THAT, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A
DEAF CHILD, THE HEARING WORLD
00:04:19.53\00:04:24.60
IS REALLY WHERE I
AM MORE COMFORTABLE.
00:04:24.60\00:04:27.10
I DON'T SPEAK SIGN
LANGUAGE AS WELL AS I OUGHT TO.
00:04:27.10\00:04:30.20
IN HIS CASE, HE GREW
UP WITH SIGN LANGUAGE.
00:04:30.20\00:04:33.76
HE GREW UP IN THE DEAF CULTURE.
00:04:33.76\00:04:35.26
HE HAS BEEN A PASTOR FOR
THE DEAF NOW FOR MANY YEARS.
00:04:35.26\00:04:39.80
HE WENT WITH ME TO
INDIA IN 2007, I THINK IT WAS.
00:04:39.80\00:04:46.30
THEN HE WENT AGAIN AND DID A
WORKSHOP WITH PASTOR TREXLER FOR
00:04:46.30\00:04:54.70
ABOUT 30 OF OUR
WORKERS FOR THE DEAF.
00:04:54.70\00:04:56.00
THIS YEAR HE WENT AGAIN.
00:04:56.00\00:04:57.63
JUST BEFORE HE LEFT, GOSPEL
OUTREACH OFFICIALLY APPOINTED
HIM AS MY ASSISTANT.
00:04:57.63\00:05:03.80
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO HIM
HAVING SPECIAL RESPONSIBILITIES
00:05:03.80\00:05:11.80
IN INDIA. NEXT TIME HE WILL BE
REPORTINGON HIS TRIP TO INDIA.
00:05:11.80\00:05:16.36
VERY GOOD!
00:05:16.36\00:05:18.23
AS A HEARING PERSON, IT IS VERY
DIFFICULT TO REALLY RELATE WITH
00:05:18.23\00:05:35.96
THE DEAF WORLD. WE NEED TO DO
ALL WE CAN TO LEARN ABOUT THIS
00:05:35.96\00:05:42.23
SPECIAL NEED. AND WE KNOW THAT
THE SCRIPTURES EVEN TELL US THAT
THE LORD IS LOOKING
00:05:42.23\00:05:47.63
FORWARD TO OF ALL THE
DEAF PEOPLE HEARING WHEN WE ARE
00:05:47.63\00:05:54.33
RESTORED. WE NEED TO BE
SENSITIZED TO WHAT THESE PEOPLE
00:05:54.33\00:06:02.63
EXPERIENCE AND THE MINISTRY
THAT YOU ARE DOING FOR THEM.
00:06:02.63\00:06:06.16
JUST TO ILLUSTRATE THIS, A DEAF
LADY AND HER MOTHER CAME DOWN
00:06:06.16\00:06:12.83
WITH ME FROM CANADA TO
HELP DRIVE THIS WEEK-END.
00:06:12.83\00:06:17.60
THIS LADY HAS FOUND IT VERY
LONELY IN HER CHURCH SINCE HER
00:06:17.60\00:06:23.90
SISTER MOVED TO THIS
AREA AFTER GETTING MARRIED.
00:06:23.90\00:06:27.46
IN HER CHURCH THERE IS NO
ONE THAT IS A GOOD SIGNER.
00:06:27.46\00:06:31.33
EVEN THOUGH SHE HAS RELATIVES,
WHO LOVE HER AND PEOPLE IN THE
00:06:31.33\00:06:37.23
CHURCH THAT LOVE
HER, IT IS LONELY.
00:06:37.23\00:06:40.63
MY WIFE IS A SPECIAL GUARDIAN TO
AN ELDERLY LADY OF 90-SOMETHING
00:06:40.63\00:06:47.53
IN THAT SAME AREA.
00:06:47.53\00:06:48.83
SHE IS IN A NURSING
HOME AND IS ALSO DEAF.
00:06:48.83\00:06:52.90
THERE IS NOBODY THAT COMES TO
VISIT HER EXCEPT MY WIFE, WHO
KNOWS HOW TO SIGN TO HER.
00:06:52.90\00:06:59.23
IT IS DESPERATELY
LONELY FOR THAT LADY.
00:06:59.23\00:07:03.93
ALL DAY, EVERYDAY,
NOBODY TO SIGN TO HER.
00:07:03.93\00:07:08.00
YES, THEY HAVE SOME COMMON
JESTICULATIONS THAT THEY CAN USE
00:07:08.00\00:07:14.50
LIKE WHEN IT IS TIME TO GO TO
BED AND IT IS TIME TO EAT AND
THAT KIND OF THING.
00:07:14.50\00:07:17.93
THERE IS NO
MEANINGFUL CONVERSATION.
00:07:17.93\00:07:21.33
YOU ARE UNDERSCORING SOMETHING
THAT I AM IMPRESSED TO DO RIGHT
00:07:21.33\00:07:27.86
NOW. I AM SPEAKING TO YOU
FOLKS THAT ARE VIEWING WITH US.
00:07:27.86\00:07:31.90
PROBABLY THE VAST MAJORITY OF
YOU ARE ABLE TO HEAR EVERY WORD
THAT JOHN AND I SPEAK.
00:07:31.90\00:07:41.96
I WARRANT THAT YOU
KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS DEAF.
00:07:41.96\00:07:46.80
YOU HAVE RUN ACROSS
SOMEONE THAT IS DEAF.
00:07:46.80\00:07:49.90
BROTHER JOHN HAS BEEN EXPLAINING
ABOUT THE LONELINESS, THE
00:07:49.90\00:07:56.00
ISOLATION THAT
THESE PEOPLE SUFFER.
00:07:56.00\00:07:58.03
EVEN YOU COULD DO SOMETHING
ABOUT SNUGGLING UP TO THESE
00:07:58.03\00:08:06.70
PEOPLE. I HAPPEN TO BE BLESSED
TO KNOW ALFRED GRIFFITH'S
FATHER, ARTHUR, VERY WELL
00:08:06.70\00:08:15.06
IN EARLY YEARS.
00:08:15.06\00:08:16.30
I DO NOT KNOW HOW I GOT TO BE
THE ONE THAT HAD THIS PREVILEGE.
00:08:16.30\00:08:20.93
HE WAS THE ONLY DEAF
PASTOR IN THE CONFERENCE
00:08:20.93\00:08:26.56
WHERE HE AND I WERE
BOTH A PART OF THAT STAFF.
00:08:26.56\00:08:30.30
I FELT CALLED TO SIT
BESIDE HIM IN THESE MEETINGS.
00:08:30.30\00:08:36.90
HE COULD NOT HEAR ANYTHING THAT
WAS GOING ON SO I SCRIBBLED
NOTES AS FAST AS I COULD.
00:08:36.90\00:08:43.76
HE WAS SUCH A BRILLIANT MAN THAT
I COULD ALMOST START A SENTENCE
00:08:43.76\00:08:48.66
AND HE
UNDERSTOOD THE REST OF IT.
00:08:48.66\00:08:51.03
WE WERE ABLE TO
COMMUNICATE BACK AND FORTH.
00:08:51.03\00:08:53.00
I THINK, JOHN, THAT THERE ARE
PEOPLE THAT ARE LISTENING AND
00:08:53.00\00:08:58.03
VIEWING RIGHT NOW, WHO COULD
ASSIST IN MINISTRY FOR THE DEAF,
00:08:58.03\00:09:01.93
IF THERE IS NO
INTERPRETER IN THEIR CHURCH.
00:09:01.93\00:09:05.40
I HAVE SAT RIGHT HERE IN
THIS AREA AND TAKEN MY PORTABLE
00:09:05.40\00:09:14.96
COMPUTER AND HAD A DEAF PERSON
SIT ON EACH SIDE OF ME WHILE I
TYPED FROM MY COMPUTER NOTES
00:09:14.96\00:09:20.90
LIKE YOU DID. ONLY
YOU DID IT THE OLD WAY.
00:09:20.90\00:09:23.03
I WAS DOING IT IN A NEWER WAY.
00:09:23.03\00:09:24.73
THAT COULD EVEN BE PUT ON A BIG
SCREEN FOR OTHER PEOPLE IN THE
00:09:24.73\00:09:30.63
AUDIENCE TO WATCH IN A
CHURCH WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE AN
00:09:30.63\00:09:33.36
INTERPRETER. IT IS NOT
THE IDEAL, BUT IT CAN BE DONE.
00:09:33.36\00:09:35.76
IT HELPS ACHIEVE THE OBJECTIVE.
00:09:35.76\00:09:38.30
YOU HAVE BEEN ON
SEVERAL TRIPS TO INDIA.
00:09:38.30\00:09:43.90
WHAT DO YOU HAVE
TO TELL US ABOUT THAT?
00:09:43.90\00:09:46.36
THAT WAS PASTOR GRIFFITH'S
TRIP THAT WAS THIS FEBRUARY.
00:09:46.36\00:09:51.56
HE WILL BE WITH US NEXT
TIME AROUND TO REPORT WITH HIS
00:09:51.56\00:09:56.50
PICTURES. MY TRIP WAS TO BRAZIL.
00:09:56.50\00:09:59.36
TELL US ABOUT THAT.
00:09:59.36\00:10:00.90
FOR FIVE OR SIX YEARS I
HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH A MAN,
00:10:00.90\00:10:06.90
WHO IS AN
INTERPRETER IN BRAZIL, FABIANO.
00:10:06.90\00:10:10.33
WE WILL PROBABLY
SEE HIS PICTURE SHORTLY.
00:10:10.33\00:10:13.56
WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS
TOWARD GETTING A WORKER STARTED.
00:10:13.56\00:10:18.26
IT WILL PROBABLY COME OUT
IN THIS SERIES OF RECORDINGS.
00:10:18.26\00:10:26.30
GOSPEL OUTREACH NOW HAS AN
OFFICIAL BRANCH IN BRAZIL, AS WE
00:10:26.30\00:10:34.46
DO IN CANADA. I HAD THE
PRIVILEGE OF GOING TO BRAZIL.
00:10:34.46\00:10:36.60
ONE OF THE FIRST PROJECTS THAT
GOSPEL OUTREACH HAD IN BRAZIL
WAS A VISION FOR THE DEAF.
00:10:36.60\00:10:46.00
THEY WANTED ME TO BE
THERE TO MEET THE DEAF.
00:10:46.00\00:10:50.50
IT WAS A VERY
HEARTWARMING EXPERIENCE.
00:10:50.50\00:10:53.53
ESPECIALLY TO MEET THE MAN
I HAD NOT MET YET IN PERSON.
00:10:53.53\00:10:57.46
NOW I COULD NOW ACTUALLY
TALK WITH HIM AND MEET HIM.
00:10:57.46\00:11:01.96
HE TOOK ME INTO THE MALL.
00:11:01.96\00:11:05.76
THERE WERE MAYBE 80 OR A 100
DEAF JUST VISITING AROUND IN THE
00:11:05.76\00:11:11.43
FOOD COURT. THEY DO THIS
ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOT ALL
MEMBERS OF OUR CHURCH.
00:11:11.43\00:11:15.26
THERE WERE SEVERAL WHO WERE BUT
BASICALLY THEY WERE JUST DEAF
00:11:15.26\00:11:20.53
FROM SAO PAULA. THEY WERE BUSY
SIGNING AND MEETING WHILE SOME
WERE SITTING AND OTHERS
00:11:20.53\00:11:24.93
STANDING. THIS WAS THEIR
"GETTING TOGETHER" WITH THEIR
00:11:24.93\00:11:29.03
WORLD. THEN IT WAS A
PRIVILEGE TO MEET THEM.
00:11:29.03\00:11:34.56
WE WILL SEE SOME VIDEO CLIPS.
00:11:34.56\00:11:36.53
I HAVE OBSERVED AND OUR VIEWERS
HAVE AS WELL, THAT DEAF PEOPLE
00:11:36.53\00:11:46.70
ARE MAGNIFICALLY
DRAWN TO EACH OTHER.
00:11:46.70\00:11:49.53
ALL OF A SUDDEN
THERE IS A COMMONALITY
00:11:49.53\00:11:53.63
AND A COMMUNICATION
THAT THEY ARE ISOLATED FROM.
00:11:53.63\00:11:57.70
I WAS TRYING TO THINK OF
SOMETHING THAT CORRESPONDS TO
00:11:57.70\00:12:03.36
THAT. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT
BECAUSE WE CAN'T LOOK AT EACH
OTHER AND KNOW IF WE
00:12:03.36\00:12:08.03
ARE ENGLISH OR
GERMAN OR EVEN BELIEVERS.
00:12:08.03\00:12:14.16
IT CAUSES US TO CONNECT AND
BEGIN AN IMMEDIATE SHARING IN
00:12:14.16\00:12:20.63
COMMUNICATION BUT
NOT SO WITH THE DEAF.
00:12:20.63\00:12:22.83
THE DEAF KNOW EXACTLY WHO THEY
ARE, IF THEY OBSERVE A SIGN OF
00:12:22.83\00:12:29.33
COMMINICATION. THEY WANT
TO GET IN THE CONVERSATION.
00:12:29.33\00:12:31.53
IF A DEAF PERSON HAS BEEN
WORKING IN A HEARING SITUATION
00:12:31.53\00:12:36.30
ALL WEEK, THEN ALL THIS
TIME THEY HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING.
00:12:36.30\00:12:41.30
THEY HAVE WRITTEN TO BE
A PART OF THE CONVERSATION.
00:12:41.30\00:12:45.13
THEY MAY HAVE HAD A LITTLE
BIT OF VOICE AND TRIED TO BE
00:12:45.13\00:12:47.50
UNDERSTOOD. OTHER PEOPLE ARE
TALKING AND MAYBE THEY CAN CATCH
A WORD OR TWO LIP- READING.
00:12:47.50\00:12:51.53
BUT THEY ARE LARGELY LEFT
OUT, THEN COMES THE WEEK-END.
00:12:51.53\00:12:55.33
MAY IT IS A DEAF CLUB.
00:12:55.33\00:12:56.70
MAYBE IT IS A CHURCH.
00:12:56.70\00:12:58.00
MAYBE IT IS MEETING
WITH DEAF PEOPLE IN A HOME.
00:12:58.00\00:13:00.76
AT LAST THEY CAN TALK.
00:13:00.76\00:13:03.66
THEY CAN SIGN.
00:13:03.66\00:13:04.63
THEY CAN BE UNDERSTOOD.
00:13:04.63\00:13:05.73
THEY CAN RELAX.
00:13:05.73\00:13:07.20
IN A DEAF CHURCH SITUATION
IT IS REALLY WONDERFUL.
00:13:07.20\00:13:11.90
NOW TELL US ABOUT
THIS JESUS VIDEO PROJECT.
00:13:11.90\00:13:17.63
SOME TIME AGO, I WORKED WITH
OTHERS, ESTHER DOOS
PARTICULARLY, IN DOING A
00:13:17.63\00:13:26.00
CONDENSATION OF THE
BIBLE IN TWO HOURS WITH SLIDES.
00:13:26.00\00:13:30.53
IT COVERS THE WHOLE
STORY OF THE PLAN OF SALVATION.
00:13:30.53\00:13:33.83
THAT IS READY.
00:13:33.83\00:13:34.96
IT IS FOR DISTRIBUTION.
00:13:34.96\00:13:36.56
ONLY IT IS IN THE
AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE.
00:13:36.56\00:13:39.26
WE ALSO HAVE CAPTIONING NOW
FOR FRENCH, SPANISH AND ENGLISH.
00:13:39.26\00:13:45.50
I HAVE NOW BEEN GIVEN PERMISSION
BY AN AGENCY TO USE MORE SLIDES
00:13:45.50\00:13:52.33
AND TO TAKE THE
19 MINUTES IN THAT.
00:13:52.33\00:13:55.63
WE ARE EXPANDING INTO FIVE AND
A HALF TO SIX HOURS COVERING ALL
00:13:55.63\00:14:01.56
OF JESUS LIFE. I HAVE BEEN TO
THE HOLY LAND TO GET PICTURES.
00:14:01.56\00:14:04.60
I HAVE ALSO GOTTEN PICTURES
FROM OTHERS, SUCH AS FROM AN
00:14:04.60\00:14:07.60
ARCHEOLOGIST AND VARIOUS ONES.
00:14:07.60\00:14:09.00
WE HAVE PICTURES FROM EACH
OF THE 29 MAJOR LOCATIONS THAT
00:14:09.00\00:14:11.83
JESUS VISITED. AS WE STUDY,
PEOPLE CAN GO BACK, IF THEY
WANT, AND SEE NAZARETH OR
00:14:11.83\00:14:22.26
EPHRAIM OR GALILEE OR JERSALEM
OR BETHSAIDA OR WHATEVER IT
00:14:22.26\00:14:26.80
MIGHT BE. THEN WE HAVE PAINTINGS
TO ILLUSTRATE EACH PART.
00:14:26.80\00:14:31.30
WE NOW HAVE A MAN, BY THE NAME
OF ALLEN NESS, IF EVERYTHING
00:14:31.30\00:14:36.43
GOES AHEAD, WHO WILL
DO THE SIGNING FOR THIS.
00:14:36.43\00:14:38.36
WE ARE WORKING ON
A BUDGET OF $55,000.
00:14:38.36\00:14:40.86
WE HAVE $13,000 OF THAT NOW,
SO WE HAVE QUITE A BIT MORE TO
00:14:40.86\00:14:44.60
RAISE. HOW WILL THIS BE
DISTRIBUTED OR MARKETED?
00:14:44.60\00:14:48.70
IT WILL BE
PRODUCED IN SIGN LANGUAGE.
00:14:48.70\00:14:51.73
WE WOULD DISTRIBUTE IT TO
THE ALBERTA CONFERENCE THROUGH
00:14:51.73\00:14:54.83
GOSPEL OUTREACH AND ALSO THROUGH
THREE ANGELS DEAF MINISTRY.
00:14:54.83\00:14:58.73
IT WILL PROBABLY BE
IN THE ABC BOOK CENTERS .
00:14:58.73\00:15:01.23
IT IS NOT DONE YET.
00:15:01.23\00:15:02.70
WE STILL HAVE TO
FINISH RAISING THE MONEY.
00:15:02.70\00:15:04.60
THOSE OF US WHO ARE CONVICTED
ABOUT THIS MINISTRY FOR THE DEAF
00:15:04.60\00:15:09.76
KNOW ANOTHER DIMENSION OF GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORK THAT YOU CAN TAKE
00:15:09.76\00:15:15.43
ADVANTAGE OF. YOU HAVE GOT 3
ABN INTO USING THE CAPTIONING
00:15:15.43\00:15:20.66
PROCESS? IS THAT WHAT WE
JUST GOT THROUGH TALKING ABOUT?
00:15:20.66\00:15:22.63
THREE ANGELS BROADCASTING IS NOW
DOING MOST OF THEIR PROGRAMS IN
00:15:22.63\00:15:32.26
CAPTIONS. THE GOAL IS 100%.
00:15:32.26\00:15:33.50
THIS IS WONDERFUL.
00:15:33.50\00:15:35.16
YOU HAVE BEEN INFLUENTIAL
IN HELPING THAT HAPPEN.
00:15:35.16\00:15:38.86
I HAVE HAD A LITTLE BIT IN IT.
00:15:38.86\00:15:42.80
I WAS THERE FOR AN INTERVIEW AND
WE DID TALK ABOUT CAPTIONING ON
00:15:42.80\00:15:47.80
THAT INTERVIEW. THAT WILL BE
SHOWN, ACTUALLY, IN A FEW DAYS.
00:15:47.80\00:15:50.53
I THINK, JOHN, THAT YOU ARE
JUST UNDERSCORING THAT YOU ARE
00:15:50.53\00:15:55.00
LOOKING FOR ABSOLUTELY EVERY
OPPORTUNITY THAT YOU CAN FIND TO
00:15:55.00\00:16:00.56
SUPPORT, TO IDENTIFY
THE WORK FOR THE DEAF.
00:16:00.56\00:16:03.23
YES!
00:16:03.23\00:16:04.56
THAT'S THE MINISTRY THAT HAS
BEEN GIVEN EVEN HERE AT GOSPEL
00:16:04.56\00:16:08.23
OUTREACH. YOU ARE
ACCOMPLISHING THAT VERY WELL.
00:16:08.23\00:16:10.76
WE THANK THE LORD
FOR YOUR MINISTRY.
00:16:10.76\00:16:13.06
FINALLY, AMONG THE NOTES I AM
SEEING HERE IS A DEAF SCHOOL IN
00:16:13.06\00:16:20.43
THE PHILLIPINES? YES, I THINK
WE BETTER LOOK AT THE SLIDES.
00:16:20.43\00:16:22.90
I WILL DESCRIBE THAT AS WE
GO THROUGH THE SLIDES BECAUSE WE
00:16:22.90\00:16:26.93
ARE GOING TO RUN OUT OF TIME.
00:16:26.93\00:16:28.06
WE WILL DO THE VIDEO FIRST
THEN WE WILL GO TO THE SLIDES.
00:16:28.06\00:16:33.86
THANK YOU.
00:16:33.86\00:16:35.23
THIS IS IN BRAZIL.
00:16:35.23\00:16:39.63
THERE IS THE DEAF GROUP.
00:16:39.63\00:16:42.06
THIS WAS OUR SABBATH THERE.
00:16:42.06\00:16:44.66
THIS IS A PRAYER BAND WITH THE
OTHERS AS WE WERE SETTING UP
GOSPEL OUTREACH BRAZIL.
00:16:44.66\00:16:51.40
THERE ARE DR. BARBOSA AND
TWO INTERPRETERS, BOTH HEARING.
00:16:51.40\00:16:56.80
THE YOUNG MAN THAT IS BY DR.
BARBOSA IS GOING TO BE TAKING
00:16:56.80\00:17:04.20
THEOLOGY AND IS
BEING SPONSORED THERE.
00:17:04.20\00:17:05.63
THIS WAS THE SIGNING OF THE
LEGAL AGREEMENT TO START BRAZIL
00:17:05.63\00:17:12.76
GOSPEL OUTREACH. THIS WAS ON
SABBATH AT THE UNIVERSITY CHURCH
00:17:12.76\00:17:16.73
IN SAO PAULO . AND
THAT IS THE DEAF GROUP.
00:17:16.73\00:17:18.60
THEY HAD JUST
GOTTEN A BRAND NEW CAMERA.
00:17:18.60\00:17:20.86
HERE IS ONE OF THE HARD
OF HEARING PEOPLE WITH THEM.
00:17:20.86\00:17:23.36
THIS IS WHEN I MET IN THE
SABBATH AFTERNOON WITH THE DEAF
00:17:23.36\00:17:26.70
GROUP. WE HAD A LITTLE
TIME JUST AS HEARING AND DEAF.
00:17:26.70\00:17:30.70
THAT IS SONG SERVICE.
00:17:30.70\00:17:33.93
THIS WAS A BAPTISM THAT
THEY WANTED ME TO CONDUCT AT THE
00:17:33.93\00:17:38.46
CHURCH. THERE IS
THE DEAF COUPLE HERE.
00:17:38.46\00:17:41.03
THIS IS THE MAN.
00:17:41.03\00:17:43.53
IT WAS WONDERFUL EVEN THOUGH
I HADN'T MET THEM BEFORE TO BE
00:17:43.53\00:17:47.86
ABLE TO BAPTIZE TWO DEAF PEOPLE
IN THE ADVENTIST UNIVERSITY
CHURCH THERE IN SAO PAULO .
00:17:47.86\00:17:54.76
THEY HAD THIS LITTLE IDEA THAT
THEY WANTED TO PUT CROWNS ON TO
00:17:54.76\00:18:00.93
REPRESENT THE CROWN OF LIFE.
00:18:00.93\00:18:02.90
THAT IS THE GOAL FOR ALL OF US.
00:18:02.90\00:18:06.13
THEY GAVE ME ONE, TOO.
00:18:06.13\00:18:09.16
OF COURSE, WE HOPE TO
WEAR A REAL ONE IN HEAVEN.
00:18:09.16\00:18:12.73
THAT IS A PRECIOUS
EXPERIENCE THAT YOU HAD.
00:18:12.73\00:18:16.10
YES!
00:18:16.10\00:18:16.93
YES!
00:18:16.93\00:18:18.10
HERE IN THE LATE SPRING IN
2011, WE ARE DOING THIS PROGRAM.
00:18:18.10\00:18:23.00
WHEN DID YOU DO THE BAPTISM?
00:18:23.00\00:18:25.40
EARLY DECEMBER OF
2010 OF LAST YEAR.
00:18:25.40\00:18:28.50
THANK YOU FOR
SHARING THAT WITH US.
00:18:28.50\00:18:30.06
YOU HAVE GOT SOME MORE PICTURES
THAT WE HAVE GOT TO RUSH THROUGH
00:18:30.06\00:18:32.96
QUICKLY. WE WILL
START WITH THE PICTURES.
00:18:32.96\00:18:36.10
THIS IS DR. LARRY EVANS.
00:18:36.10\00:18:37.73
DR. EVANS IS THE NEW LAISON
FOR DEAF MINISTRY IN THE GENERAL
00:18:37.73\00:18:45.66
CONFERENCE. I AM JUST
THRILLED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE HIM.
00:18:45.66\00:18:49.56
HE IS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE.
00:18:49.56\00:18:51.56
HE IS VERY EXPERINCED
IN THE GENERAL CONFERENCE.
00:18:51.56\00:18:53.03
HE HAS A REAL HEART
FOR THE DEAF MINISTRY.
00:18:53.03\00:18:55.63
THIS IS JUST A
LITTLE ILLUSTRATION.
00:18:55.63\00:18:59.06
SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT KNOW BUT
EVERY SABBATH MORNING AT 11:30
00:18:59.06\00:19:04.86
EASTERN TIME, THEY CAN GO ON THE
INTERNET AND GET A SIGNED CHURCH
00:19:04.86\00:19:11.16
SERVICE BY JEFF JORDAN OR BY
SOMEBODY WHO IS SUBSTITUTING FOR
HIM ON THAT SABBATH.
00:19:11.16\00:19:14.86
THAT SERVICE IS COMING FROM
THE MCDONALD ROAD SEVENTH DAY
00:19:14.86\00:19:19.33
ADVENTIST CHURCH, NEAR
SOUTHERN ADVENTIST UNIVERSITY.
00:19:19.33\00:19:21.83
THIS WAS TAKEN
IN OUR DINING AREA.
00:19:21.83\00:19:26.10
MY WIFE IS
THERE WITH A DEAF MAN.
00:19:26.10\00:19:28.76
THIS IS OUR
WORKER WITH THE DEAF.
00:19:28.76\00:19:31.50
I CAN STILL REMEMBER
WHEN I WAS REFERRED TO HIM.
00:19:31.50\00:19:37.40
I STARTED TO WRITE HIM.
00:19:37.40\00:19:39.23
I REMEMBER HE TOLD ME THAT HE
WAS DISCOURAGED BECAUSE THE
CHURCH WASN'T DOING
00:19:39.23\00:19:43.96
ANYTHING FOR THE DEAF.
00:19:43.96\00:19:45.50
HIS FRIENDS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP
IN THE CHURCH WERE LEAVING THE
00:19:45.50\00:19:50.46
CHURCH BECAUSE THERE
WAS NOTHING FOR THEM.
00:19:50.46\00:19:52.60
HE THOUGHT MAYBE HE WOULD,
TOO, AS THE CASE MIGHT BE.
00:19:52.60\00:19:58.06
WE WORKED WITH HIM.
00:19:58.06\00:19:59.43
OTHERS WORKED WITH HIM.
00:19:59.43\00:20:00.76
HE IS NOW OUR GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKER FOR GHANA.
00:20:00.76\00:20:03.40
THERE HE IS IN THE SCHOOL
PREACHING AND TEACHING THESE
00:20:03.40\00:20:08.46
DEAF STUDENTS. THE LADY ON THE
LEFT IS MRS. WITNESS WHO IS OUR
DIRECTOR FOR THE DEAF
00:20:08.46\00:20:17.10
MINISTRY FOR KENYA .
00:20:17.10\00:20:19.06
WE HAVE SIX WORKERS IN KENYA.
00:20:19.06\00:20:20.70
DR. EVANS, BY THE TIME THIS
ACTUALLY IS SHOWN, WILL ALREADY
00:20:20.70\00:20:26.06
HAVE BEEN THERE AND
THAT IS SOME OF THESE FOLK.
00:20:26.06\00:20:28.36
HE HAS GOT A TRIP SCHEDULED FOR
VARIOUS PURPOSES TO KENYA. THIS
00:20:28.36\00:20:36.10
IS A GROUP IN KENYA THAT
IS GETTING READY FOR BAPTISM.
00:20:36.10\00:20:39.53
I BELIEVE IT IS KENYA.
00:20:39.53\00:20:41.03
THEY ARE ALL DEAF YOUNG PEOPLE.
00:20:41.03\00:20:44.26
THIS IS OVER IN KYRGYZSTAN. I
WAS JUST TALKING TO OUR MUSLIM
00:20:44.26\00:20:53.46
MINISTRY DIRECTOR AND HE
JUST CAME BACK FROM THIS GENERAL
00:20:53.46\00:20:58.06
AREA. I DON'T THINK HE MET THIS
MAN BUT HE WENT THROUGH THIS
00:20:58.06\00:21:07.73
AREA SOMEWHERE. THIS MAN IS THE
ONE THAT BEGAN OUR WORK FOR THE
00:21:07.73\00:21:15.10
DEAF IN BISHKEK. HE IS NOT AN
EMPLOYEE BUT WE DO HAVE A GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKER NOW IN
00:21:15.10\00:21:22.30
KYRGYZSTAN . THIS WE WILL KNOW
MORE ABOUT WHEN ALFRED GRIFFITH
00:21:22.30\00:21:28.43
TELLS US. NOW HE IS SEATED ON
THE FRONT ROW, SECOND FROM THE
00:21:28.43\00:21:33.00
LEFT. YES.
00:21:33.00\00:21:33.73
THIS PICTURE WAS
TAKEN IN FEBRUARY.
00:21:33.73\00:21:35.33
THIS IS MOST OF OUR WORKERS IN
INDIA AND SEVERAL OF THE LEADERS
00:21:35.33\00:21:39.56
IN THE CONFERENCE THERE.
00:21:39.56\00:21:40.96
WE ARE NOW UP TO
38 WORKERS IN INDIA.
00:21:40.96\00:21:48.76
I AM HESITANT ON THE NUMBER
BECAUSE THERE IS A BIT OF A
00:21:48.76\00:21:52.53
FLUX. THE IS ALFRED
GRIFFITH AND HIS CHURCH.
00:21:52.53\00:21:58.76
I THINK THERE WAS MORE THAN ONE
CHURCH INVOLVED THAT PROVIDED A
00:21:58.76\00:22:05.46
BICYCLE FOR EACH OF
OUR WORKERS FOR THE DEAF.
00:22:05.46\00:22:08.43
I BELIEVE 40 BICYCLES
HAVE GONE TO OUR WORKERS.
00:22:08.43\00:22:13.73
THESE ARE SOME OF THE WORKERS
THERE WITH THEIR BICYCLES.
00:22:13.73\00:22:17.10
THEY HAVE SOMETHING TO GET
AROUND ON AND DON'T JUST HAVE TO
WALK OR TAKE A BUS.
00:22:17.10\00:22:23.06
THEY CAN OFTEN
GO ON THEIR BICYCLE.
00:22:23.06\00:22:25.00
THIS IS IN BRAZIL.
00:22:25.00\00:22:28.90
WE JUST LOOKED
AT SOME VIDEO CLIPS.
00:22:28.90\00:22:30.86
THERE IS FABIANO.
00:22:30.86\00:22:32.46
I HAVE BEEN WRITING TO HIM FOR
FIVE OR SIX YEARS.HE IS THE ONE
00:22:32.46\00:22:35.43
CLOSEST HERE.
HE IS INTERPRETING.
00:22:35.43\00:22:37.13
GORDON GRAY IS ON THE RIGHT AND
DR. TAVARES IS THERE
INTERPRETING FOR HIM.
00:22:37.13\00:22:43.63
THIS IS THE DAY THAT GOSPEL
OUTREACH WAS SET UP FOR THE
00:22:43.63\00:22:50.40
WEEK-END IN BRAZIL, AS
GOSPEL OUTREACH BRAZIL .
00:22:50.40\00:22:54.06
THIS IS THE
DEAF GROUP IN BRAZIL.
00:22:54.06\00:23:00.23
THIS IS WHEN WE WERE
SETTING UP THE MEETING.
00:23:00.23\00:23:06.56
THIS IS THE SIGNING.
00:23:06.56\00:23:09.43
AND THOSE ARE SOME OF THE DEAF
OR LEADERS OF THE DEAF THERE ON
00:23:09.43\00:23:13.40
THE LEFT THAT ARE
SIGNING THE PAPERS.
00:23:13.40\00:23:16.00
THIS WAS THAT BAPTISM.
00:23:16.00\00:23:17.63
THE DEAF FORMED A GROUP AND
SIGNED SANGTO TWO OF THE
BAPTISMAL CANDIDATES
00:23:17.63\00:23:23.96
THERE, AS IT WAS BEING PLAYED
IN AUDIO FOR THE AUDIENCE.
00:23:23.96\00:23:29.36
THERE WAS SIGNING
AT BOTH DIRECTIONS.
00:23:29.36\00:23:32.83
THIS IS OVER IN THE PHILLIPINES.
00:23:32.83\00:23:34.70
THIS IS OUR WORKER FOR THE
DEAF IN MANILLA ON THE LEFT.
00:23:34.70\00:23:37.43
THIS IS A LITTLE DEAF
SCHOOL THAT WE ARE STARTING.
00:23:37.43\00:23:41.06
I SHOULD SAY THAT THE
SULADS WILL BE STARTING.
00:23:41.06\00:23:44.76
SULADS?
00:23:44.76\00:23:45.83
YES!
00:23:45.83\00:23:47.23
OUR WORKER IS IN THE BACK OF
THE PICTURE IN THE GREEN, SARA
00:23:47.23\00:23:51.10
FAMISARAN. SHE HAS LED OUT IN
THIS SO IT IS A COMBINATION
BETWEEN GOSPEL OUTREACH,
00:23:51.10\00:23:55.13
AND IN HER CASE, THE SULADS.
00:23:55.13\00:23:58.36
THIS IS A LITTLE DEAF
SCHOOL THAT THEY ARE STARTING.
00:23:58.36\00:24:01.20
THESE ARE SOME OF THE STUDENTS.
00:24:01.20\00:24:03.93
THEY HAVE BOUGHT A PIECE
OF PROPERTY -SEVEN ACRES.
00:24:03.93\00:24:08.50
THIS IS SOME OF THE PROPERTY.
00:24:08.50\00:24:10.60
THEY HOPE TO MAYBE BUILD RIGHT
IN THIS AREA OR SOMEWHERE ON THE
00:24:10.60\00:24:15.46
PROPERTY. I HAVEN'T SEEN
IT BUT IT WAS SENT TO ME.
00:24:15.46\00:24:17.16
SO GOD IS BLESSING.
00:24:17.16\00:24:19.13
THIS LADY WAS KIND OF FORCED
TO MARRY A HEARING MAN BECAUS@HE
00:24:19.13\00:24:27.33
WAS AVAILABLE. THEY DID
NOT GET ALONG VERY WELL.
00:24:27.33\00:24:29.23
BUT BECAUSE OF THE SCHOOL AND
LEARNING TO SIGN, BOTH OF THEM
ARE BEING ABLE TO COMMUNICATE.
00:24:29.23\00:24:35.20
THEY ACCEPTED THE
LORD AND WERE BAPTIZED.
00:24:35.20\00:24:38.13
THRILLING STORIES ALL THE WAY.
00:24:38.13\00:24:43.03
I WISH WE HAD A LONG TIME
FOR THIS PROGRAM BUT WE DON'T.
00:24:43.03\00:24:48.83
I WAS JUST LOOKING THROUGH THE
NOTES YOU PROVIDED FOR ME, JOHN.
00:24:48.83\00:24:57.13
WE ARE GRATEFUL THAT GOSPEL
OUTREACH HAS WORKED FOR THE DEAF
00:24:57.13\00:25:04.43
IN SEVEN COUNTRIES- CORRECT?
00:25:04.43\00:25:06.56
YES, AND WE NEED MANY MORE.
00:25:06.56\00:25:07.93
DID YOU SAY 38 WORKERS IN
INDIA OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
00:25:07.93\00:25:12.20
WE HAVE ABOUT 35 TO 38 WORKERS.
00:25:12.20\00:25:14.30
ALL TOGETHER WE HAVE 35 WORKERS?
00:25:14.30\00:25:15.63
WE ARE APPROACHING 50 BECAUSE
WE HAVE ABOUT ANOTHER TEN BEYOND
00:25:15.63\00:25:20.53
INDIA. THERE ARE SEVEN COUNTRIES
THAT IN NO WAY REPRESENST THE
00:25:20.53\00:25:26.03
TOTAL CHALLENGE.
HOW MANY COUNTRIES?
00:25:26.03\00:25:27.70
WE SHOULD BE IN AT LEAST 200.
00:25:27.70\00:25:30.03
THERE ARE HEARING IMPAIRED,
DEAF PEOPLE IN EVERY CULTURE AND
00:25:30.03\00:25:36.83
EVERY LANGUAGE GROUP
ALL ACROSS THE GLOBE.
00:25:36.83\00:25:39.13
I MAINTAIN THE DEAF MINISTRY
IS THE HARDEST MINISTRY IN THE
00:25:39.13\00:25:43.23
WORLD. FOR EVERY HARD ONE,
WHETHER IT IS MUSLIM, OR BUDDIST
00:25:43.23\00:25:48.03
OR MODERN MIND, IN THAT GROUP
THERE IS AT USUALLY A DEAF
GROUP, WHO WE NEGLECT.
00:25:48.03\00:25:51.40
I WANT TO, ON BEHALF OF ALL YOUR
COLLEAGES AT GOSPEL OUTREACH,
00:25:51.40\00:25:57.56
TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR
LEADERSHIP, YOUR VISION AND YOUR
00:25:57.56\00:26:02.60
DREAM. I AM SORRY YOUR
DAUGHTER DOES NOT HEAR.
00:26:02.60\00:26:06.86
BUT SINCE SHE DOES NOT HEAR,
I AM THANKFUL THAT GOD HAS LAID
00:26:06.86\00:26:14.30
THE BURDEN, THE VISION TO
UNDERTAKE THIS SPECIAL MINISTRY
00:26:14.30\00:26:18.86
TO THE DEAF. I PRAY THAT THOSE
OF YOU, WHO ARE HEARING, WILL
REJOICE FOR THAT GIFT.
00:26:18.86\00:26:25.23
REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE BROTHERS
AND SISTERS WHO CANNOT HEAR
00:26:25.23\00:26:29.43
EVERYTHING THAT YOU GET TO HEAR.
00:26:29.43\00:26:31.36
PRAY ABOUT IT.
00:26:31.36\00:26:32.83
MAYBE THERE IS SOMETHING
YOU CAN DO TO HELP SOMEONE.
00:26:32.83\00:26:37.60
AT THE LEAST YOU CAN HELP
SUPPORT THE WORK OF GOSPEL
00:26:37.60\00:26:40.26
OUTREACH. UNTIL NEXT
TIME, I AM DAN MATTHEWS.
00:26:40.26\00:26:42.70
CLOSING MUSIC.
00:26:42.70\00:28:30.10
