OPENING MUSIC.
00:00:02.60\00:00:15.26
GREETINGS, DEAR FRIENDS AND
WELCOME TO ANOTHER PROGRAM OF
00:00:15.26\00:00:20.96
GOSPEL OUTREACH. WE CALL
IT "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS".
00:00:20.96\00:00:24.86
BY THE WAY, THAT IS THE NAME
OF THE NEWS LETTER THAT GOSPEL
00:00:24.86\00:00:29.10
OUTREACH PRODUCES
ON A MONTHLY BASIS.
00:00:29.10\00:00:31.46
I WANT TO ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU
TO WATCH FOR THE ADDRESS LATER
ON IN THIS PROGRAM.
00:00:31.46\00:00:35.46

THE ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS
00:00:35.46\00:00:40.56

00:00:44.93\00:00:50.60
I JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU

00:00:50.60\00:00:53.56
RIGHT NOW, I GET TO INTRODUCE A
DEAR, DEAR FRIEND OF MIND, DAVID
00:00:53.56\00:00:59.43
PARKS. DAVID, BLESS YOUR HEART.
00:00:59.43\00:01:01.26
I AM ALWAYS GLAD TO GET TO
BE WHERE YOU ARE AND THAT IS
00:01:01.26\00:01:05.93
SINCERE. OFTEN DAVID AND I GET
TO MEET IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
00:01:05.93\00:01:10.76
I TELL YOU IT IS
LIKE "OLD HOME WEEK".
00:01:10.76\00:01:13.36
I WAS RECENTLY IN
KIRKLAND, WASHINGTON.
00:01:13.36\00:01:20.26
DO YOU REMEMBER THE TIME
THAT WE WORKED TOGETHER, DAVID?
00:01:20.26\00:01:24.70
YOU AND I WERE INVOLVED IN
MINISTRY THERE FOR MORE YEARS
THAT ANY ONE OF US WANTS TO
00:01:24.70\00:01:28.83
COUNT. THEN WE HAD SOME OTHER
EXPERIENCES TOGETHER THAT HAVE
BEEN A GREAT BLESSING.
00:01:28.83\00:01:41.36
WE LOVE YOU,
RETHA, AND YOUR FAMILY.
00:01:41.36\00:01:49.80
WE ARE JUST TO BE DELIGHTED
TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH YOU NOW IN
00:01:49.80\00:01:53.80
THIS WAY WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:01:53.80\00:01:55.63
YOU HAVE BEEN WITH GOSPEL
OUTREACH A LOT LONGER THAN I
00:01:55.63\00:01:58.76
HAVE. WHY ARE YOU A
PART OF GOSPEL OUTREACH?
00:01:58.76\00:02:02.80
I HAVE BEEN WITH
GOSPEL OUTREACH FOR 12 YEARS.
00:02:02.80\00:02:05.50
I KEEP WORKING WITH GOSPEL
OUTREACH BECAUSE I THINK IT IS
00:02:05.50\00:02:11.56
ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE
PROGRAMS THAT IS RUN IN
RELATIONSHIP TO THE ADVENTIST
00:02:11.56\00:02:19.36
CHURCH. IT IS A
GENIOUS OF AN IDEA.
00:02:19.36\00:02:24.20
WHAT IS EFFECTIVE?
00:02:24.20\00:02:25.73
GIVE US A LITTLE HISTORY.
00:02:25.73\00:02:27.26
TELL US WHAT IS
EFFECTIVE ABOUT IT?
00:02:27.26\00:02:28.93
IT IS EFFECTIVE IN THAT
WE ONLY USE NATIONAL WORKERS.
00:02:28.93\00:02:33.86
EACH OF THESE WORKERS IS AN
EVANGELIST WITH AN ASSIGNMENT
00:02:33.86\00:02:38.06
TO PLANT A CHURCH
IN AN UNENTERED AREA.
00:02:38.06\00:02:41.76
PLACES WHERE, IN MANY
CASES, NO CHRISTIANS ARE AT ALL.
00:02:41.76\00:02:44.83
THEY GO IN AND MAKE FRIENDS,
BEGIN TO STUDY THE BIBLE WITH
00:02:44.83\00:02:50.96
PEOPLE. PRETTY SOON
THERE IS A CHURCH GROUP.
00:02:50.96\00:02:53.96
THAT IS CERTAINLY TRUE IN MY
TERRITORY OF SOUTHEAST ASIA AND
ACROSS THE 10-40 WINDOW.
00:02:53.96\00:03:00.73
I WANT TO
UNDERSCORE SOMETHING YOU SAID,
00:03:00.73\00:03:03.66
AND I INTERUPTED YOU
BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO FORGET.
00:03:03.66\00:03:06.03
YOU SAID THAT THEY MAKE FRIENDS.
00:03:06.03\00:03:08.86
I HAVE BEEN TALKING TO SOME OUR
COLLEAGUES AND THAT SEEMS TO BE
00:03:08.86\00:03:13.90
A COMMON FOCUS AND A COMMON
VISION AMONG ALL OF OUR PEOPLE.
00:03:13.90\00:03:20.60
YOU AS A DIRECTOR PLUS THE
WORKERS IN THE FRONT LINES ARE
THERE TO MAKE FRIENDS FOR GOD.
00:03:20.60\00:03:29.86
WHEN THAT RELATIONSHIP IS
ESTABLISHED, THEY DEVELOP A
RELATIONSHIP WITH EACH OTHER.
00:03:29.86\00:03:36.53
IT FORMS WHAT THE CHURCH IS, A
COMMUNITY OF TRUSTING SOULS WHO
00:03:36.53\00:03:43.46
LOVE GOD AND WHO
WANT TO SERVE HIM.
00:03:43.46\00:03:45.06
IN MY RECENT TRIP TO SOUTHEAST
ASIA, I TALKED TO A COUPLE OF
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS,
00:03:45.06\00:03:54.96
WHO HAVE ACTUALLY TAKEN YOUNG
PEOPLE FROM THE COMMUNITY RIGHT
INTO THEIR OWN HOME.
00:03:54.96\00:04:01.86
THESE YOUNG PEOPLE HAD NO
OPPORTUNITY FOR EDUCATION.
00:04:01.86\00:04:05.10
THEY HAVE BEGUN TO
HAVE HOME SCHOOLS AND SO ON.
00:04:05.10\00:04:08.90
ONE BY ONE, THROUGH BIBLE
CLASSES, THE SCHOOL, FAMILY
WORSHIP IN THE HOME
00:04:08.90\00:04:16.10
AND THINGS LIKE THIS, MANY
OF THESE YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
00:04:16.10\00:04:21.53
BAPTISED. NOW SOME OF
THEIR PARENTS HAVE BEEN, ALSO.
00:04:21.53\00:04:25.23
THAT IS HOW
THESE CHURCHES BEGAN.
00:04:25.23\00:04:26.73
IT IS JUST FRIENDSHIP AND
MEETING A NEED THAT EXISTS IN
SOME OF THESE VILLAGES.
00:04:26.73\00:04:32.53
YOU REMIND ME OF SOMETHING ELSE
AS YOU WERE GIVING THAT LITTLE
00:04:32.53\00:04:37.36
ACCOUNT. GOSPEL OUTREACH
IS INVOLVED WITH EDUCATION.
00:04:37.36\00:04:40.73
IN MANY OF THESE INSTANCES,
THERE IS NO OPPORTUNITY FOR
00:04:40.73\00:04:45.70
EDUCATION. THE ILLITERACY RATE
IS VERY HIGH AMONG THE PEOPLE.
00:04:45.70\00:04:56.36
SO WHEN THEY SEE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO ALSO HAVE THE SKILLS OF
00:04:56.36\00:05:04.50
COMMUNICATION OF READING,
WRITING AND SO FORTH, IT OPENS A
WHOLE NEW WORLD FOR THEM.
00:05:04.50\00:05:10.26
OBSOLUTELY, IT DOES!
00:05:10.26\00:05:12.46
THE TRAINING, THE
EDUCATION AND THE OPPORTUNITY
00:05:12.46\00:05:18.93
TO BECOME ACQUAINTED WITH JESUS
CHRIST CHANGES THEIR WHOLE LIFE
AND THEIR WHOLE WORLD VIEW.
00:05:18.93\00:05:26.30
IT CHANGES HOW THEY LOOK
AT THEMSELVES AND AT THE WORLD
00:05:26.30\00:05:30.50
AROUND THEM. YOU HAVE SOME
HISTORY WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:05:30.50\00:05:35.73
ALL THIS WAS STARTED BY ONE MAN?
00:05:35.73\00:05:39.86
YES!
00:05:39.86\00:05:40.93
JUST TELL US WHO HE WAS
AND A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT.
00:05:40.93\00:05:44.56
FRANK STANYER
WAS A SCHOOL TEACHER.
00:05:44.56\00:05:50.96
HE LIVED IN THE PHILIPPINES AND
HAD A BURDEN TO REACH THE TRIBAL
00:05:50.96\00:05:58.66
GROUPS IN THE PHILIPINES.
00:05:58.66\00:06:00.60
HE DEVELOPED THIS PLAN
OF FINDING NATIONAL WORKERS
00:06:00.60\00:06:05.63
THAT COULD GO INTO
THESE TRIBAL REGIONS.
00:06:05.63\00:06:08.30
THAT'S WHERE IT
BEGAN IN THE PHILIPPINES.
00:06:08.30\00:06:10.96
OF COURSE, IT HAS NOW
SPREAD AROUND THE WORLD,
00:06:10.96\00:06:15.50
BUT IS STILL MOSTLY
IN THE 10-40 WINDOW.
00:06:15.50\00:06:18.46
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS A
RELATIVELY NEW ORGANIZATION.
00:06:18.46\00:06:22.93
FRANK STANYER CAME HOME FROM THE
PHILIPPINES, IF MY MEMORY SERVES
00:06:22.93\00:06:28.53
ME CORRECTLY, IN 1993.THEN HE
SENT BACK THE FIRST 50 DOLLARS A
00:06:28.53\00:06:32.16
MONTH TO SUPPORT ONE TEACHER
IN THE HILL COUNTRY OF THE
00:06:32.16\00:06:37.50
PHILIPPINES. SINCE THAT
TIME, HOW MANY COUNTRIES ARE NOW
00:06:37.50\00:06:41.73
INVOLVED? I AM NOT SURE HOW
MANY COUNTRIES THERE ARE NOW.
00:06:41.73\00:06:47.06
BUT WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT
WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS
00:06:47.06\00:06:50.56
TO WORK IN 90 TO 100
MISSIONS IN THE 10-40 WINDOW.
00:06:50.56\00:07:00.36
WE WILL TRY TO GET SOME MORE
ACCURATE INFORMATION ABOUT THAT.
00:07:00.36\00:07:04.46
IN ORDER FOR YOU TO GET
THE GOSPEL OUTREACH NEWSLETTER,
00:07:04.46\00:07:13.20
ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS,
YOU NEED TO  WRITE OR CALL.
00:07:13.20\00:07:15.63
AFTER YOU HEAR THE STORIES THAT
DAVID IS GOING TO BE SHARING
00:07:32.86\00:07:35.53
WITH US TODAY, I HAVE NO DOUBT
THAT YOU ARE GOING TO WANT TO BE
A PART OF THE GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:07:35.53\00:07:40.40
FAMILY. PLEASE BE IN TOUCH.
00:07:40.40\00:07:42.36
ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE, REMEMBER
TO PRAY FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:07:42.36\00:07:46.40
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS DIVIDED INTO
17 REGIONS IN THE 10-40 WINDOW.
00:07:46.40\00:07:58.46
MY TERRITORY IS SOUTHEAST ASIA.
00:07:58.46\00:08:02.63
I HAVE VIETNAM, LAOS,
CAMBODIA, THAILAND AND MYANMAR.
00:08:02.63\00:08:09.86
I WAS HAPPY TO
ACCEPT THE INVITATION
00:08:09.86\00:08:16.80
TO DO THAT BECAUSE I HAD BEEN IN
MISSION SERVICE IN ASIA FOR NINE
00:08:16.80\00:08:21.23
YEARS. I HAD BEEN
IN ALL THOSE PLACES.
00:08:21.23\00:08:24.66
I WAS
ACQUAINTED WITH THE PEOPLE.
00:08:24.66\00:08:26.56
THEY ARE WONDERFUL
PEOPLE IN SOUTHEAST ASIA.
00:08:26.56\00:08:29.53
I WAS HAPPY TO BE A PART OF WHAT
WAS CONTINUING TO GO ON THERE.
00:08:29.53\00:08:35.56
I THINK ALL OF YOU DESERVE TO
KNOW, TOO, THAT DAVID AND RETHA
00:08:35.56\00:08:41.03
ARE NOT AWAY
FROM THEIR PEOPLE NOW.
00:08:41.03\00:08:42.96
DAVID IS WORKING AS A PART-TIME
PASTOR FOR THE VIETNAMESE IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
00:08:42.96\00:08:51.63
THAT IS TRUE.
00:08:51.63\00:08:53.06
WE WENT TO VISIT HIM IN A
VIETNAMESE CHURCH NOT SO LONG
00:08:53.06\00:08:56.90
AGO. TELL US MORE
ABOUT THESE REGIONS.
00:08:56.90\00:09:01.66
THE INTERESTING FACT IS THAT
MOST ALL THE REGIONS ARE NOW
00:09:01.66\00:09:13.40
LEAD BY PEOPLE, LIKE YOU,
WHO HAVE SOME IDENTITY WITH THAT
00:09:13.40\00:09:18.63
TERRITORY. THEY FEEL
AT HOME AMONG THE PEOPLE.
00:09:18.63\00:09:20.70
THAT IS TRUE.
00:09:20.70\00:09:21.93
I THINK THAT AMONG THE 17
REGIONAL DIRECTORS AT GOSPEL
00:09:21.93\00:09:27.36
OUTREACH, THERE IS SOMETHING
LIKE 200 YEARS OF OVERSEAS
00:09:27.36\00:09:32.93
MISSION SERVICE. THAT IS WHY ALL
OF YOU ARE GLAD TO GO BACK AND
VISIT YOUR FAMILIES OVER THERE.
00:09:32.93\00:09:37.23
THAT IS RIGHT!
00:09:37.23\00:09:38.53
WHAT ARE WE GOING
TO TALK ABOUT TODAY?
00:09:38.53\00:09:40.30
WE WILL BE
TALKING ABOUT THAILAND.
00:09:40.30\00:09:42.36
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING IN THAILAND
SINCE VERY EARLY ON IN OUR
00:09:42.36\00:09:52.13
EXPERIENCE WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:09:52.13\00:09:53.76
IT IS ABOUT 90% BUDDEST AND IT
IS NOT EASY TO MAKE A LOT OF
PROGRESS AMONG THE BUDDEST.
00:09:53.76\00:10:04.70
EVERY YEAR QUITE A FEW BAPTISMS
OCCUR ACROSS SOUTHEAST ASIA.
00:10:04.70\00:10:10.60
WE HAVE FOUND THAT MOST OF THE
GROWTH IN THE THAILAND MISSION
00:10:10.60\00:10:19.53
AREA ACTUALLY HAPPENS AMONG THE
TRIBAL GROUPS THAT ARE SCATTERED
ALL AROUND THE PERIMETERS.
00:10:19.53\00:10:26.23
THAILAND HAS BEEN THE STABLE
COUNTRY IN SOUTHEAST ASIA.
00:10:26.23\00:10:31.76
THE OTHERS, VIETNAM, CAMBODIA,
LAOS, AND MYANMAR HAVE HAD A
00:10:31.76\00:10:42.76
LITTLE UNREST. A LOT OF PEOPLE
MIGRATED TO THE EDGES OF
THAILAND AND SETTLED THERE.
00:10:42.76\00:10:52.70
PEOPLE LIKE AKHA , HMONG , LAHU
AND KHME, AND KAREN LIVE ALONG
THE EDGE OF THAILAND.
00:10:52.70\00:11:08.76
THAT IS WHERE MOST OF OUR GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS ARE LOCATED IN
00:11:08.76\00:11:15.60
THAILAND.IT IS IN THESE TRIBAL
VILLAGES AND MOUNTAINOUS AREAS,
00:11:15.60\00:11:20.80
AROUND THE
PERIMETER OF THAILAND.
00:11:20.80\00:11:22.96
SO DO I UNDERSTAND YOU TO
SAY THAT THESE TRIBAL PEOPLE ARE
00:11:22.96\00:11:27.76
ACTUALLY MIGRATING FROM THE
SURROUNDING COUNTRIES BECAUSE OF
00:11:27.76\00:11:33.36
THE POLITICAL UNREST
AND OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES?
00:11:33.36\00:11:35.66
YES.
00:11:35.66\00:11:39.03
IN FACT, I HAD THE PRIVILEGE
OF VISITING CHIANGMAI MANY, MANY
00:11:39.03\00:11:45.26
YEARS AGO. I WENT OUT OF
CHIANGMAI TO VISIT AMONG THOSE
00:11:45.26\00:11:49.33
IN THE VILLAGES. THAT WAS
VERY, VERY INTERESTING, TOO.
00:11:49.33\00:11:52.06
THE ONE I REALLY WANT TO SPEND
SOME TIME TALKING ABOUT TODAY
00:11:52.06\00:11:55.73
IS A HMONG VILLAGE 75
MILES EAST OF CHIANGMAI.
00:11:55.73\00:12:05.00
THAT IS THE TERRITORY
THAT WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT.
00:12:05.00\00:12:08.40
FOR THE FOLKS THAT ARE VIEWING
TODAY AND HEAR YOU TALK ABOUT A
00:12:08.40\00:12:13.63
HMONG VILLAGE, THERE ARE QUITE A
FEW HMONG PEOPLE THAT HAVE COME
TO THE UNITED STATES, TOO.
00:12:13.63\00:12:18.90
IF YOU SEE THIS WORDS H-M-O-N-G
, IT REFERS TO THE PEOPLE
00:12:18.90\00:12:26.70
FROM THE KIND OF TERRITORY
THAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.
00:12:26.70\00:12:30.40
THE HMONG PEOPLE WERE ORIGINALLY
FROM CHINA BUT MANY OF THEM
MIGRATED TO SOUTHEAST ASIA.
00:12:30.40\00:12:36.40
A LOT OF THEM LIVE IN VIETNAM,
CAMBODIA, THAILAND AND LOAS,
00:12:36.40\00:12:40.93
SO THERE ARE MANY OF
THEM IN SOUTHEAST ASIA.
00:12:40.93\00:12:45.00
YOU HAVE SOME PICTURES TO SHOW?
00:12:45.00\00:12:46.36
YES, WE DO.
00:12:46.36\00:12:47.50
THIS IS A TYPICAL
HOME IN A HMONG VILLAGE.
00:12:47.50\00:12:53.46
THEY ARE A POOR GROUP.
00:12:53.46\00:12:59.63
IT IS DIFFICULT IN THE
MOUNTAINOUS AREAS TO HAVE VERY
00:12:59.63\00:13:05.13
GOOD AGRICULTURE. THEY
WORK HARD TO MAKE A LIVING.
00:13:05.13\00:13:09.10
MOST OF THESE HMONG
VILLAGERS ARE ANIMIST , THAT IS,
00:13:09.10\00:13:15.46
SPIRIT WORSHIPERS WHO BELIEVE
THAT THE SPIRITS LIVE IN THE
TREES, ROCKS AND HILLS.
00:13:15.46\00:13:23.20
THESE PEOPLE GO THROUGH THEIR
LIVES IN FEAR OF THE SPIRITS
00:13:23.20\00:13:31.33
WITH GOOD REASON. THEY SEE
TERRIBLE THINGS THAT THE SPIRITS
00:13:31.33\00:13:36.16
DO. SOMEBODY PUTS A CURSE ON
SOME OTHER PERSON AND WITHIN A
FEW DAYS THEY MAY BE DEAD,
00:13:36.16\00:13:43.23
OR SICK OR A CHILD
WILL DIE IN THE FAMILY.
00:13:43.23\00:13:47.40
SOME OF THEM GO THROUGH THEIR
LIVES IN FEAR OF WHAT THE
SPIRITS MAY DO TO THEM.
00:13:47.40\00:13:54.96
SO THE GOSPEL PROVIDES FOR THEM
SUCH A MARVELOUS RELIEF FROM
00:13:54.96\00:14:00.16
THAT. WHEN THESE ANIMISTIC
PEOPLE LEARN THE GOSPEL ABOUT
00:14:00.16\00:14:07.26
JESUS CHRIST AND WHAT HE CAN DO
IN THEIR LIVES, THAT GOD LOVES
THEM AND THAT JESUS DIED FOR
00:14:07.26\00:14:17.10
THEM, IT IS A WHOLE NEW PARADIGM
IN TERMS OF HOW THEY RELATE TO A
00:14:17.10\00:14:25.16
GOD. DO ANY OF THE GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS TELL THEM THE
STORY ABOUT JESUS TEMPTATIONS
00:14:25.16\00:14:34.56
AND HOW HE HAS POWER
OVER THE SPIRIT WORLD?
00:14:34.56\00:14:39.03
OH, YES!
00:14:39.03\00:14:40.46
I WAS IN BANGKOK JUST A FEW
WEEKS AGO, THEY WERE HAVING A
00:14:40.46\00:14:48.50
PASTOR'S MEETING WHERE ALLTHE
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS WERE IN
00:14:48.50\00:14:52.80
TOWN. I GOT TO
INTERVIEW EVERY ONE OF THEM.
00:14:52.80\00:14:55.93
ONE BY ONE, AS WE SAT AND TALK
TOGETHER FOR A HALF OF AN HOUR,
00:14:55.93\00:15:00.83
THEY WOULD TEL ME STORY AFTER
STORY ABOUT PEOPLE WHO WERE
00:15:00.83\00:15:09.66
POSSESSED AND
HARASSED WITH THE DEMONS. AND
00:15:09.66\00:15:12.43
THE CHANGE THAT CAME IN WHEN
THEY GOT ACQUAINTED WITH JESUS.
00:15:12.43\00:15:17.40
THESE ARE MANY OF THE PEOPLE
THAT ARE IN HMONG CHURCHES
00:15:17.40\00:15:23.66
AND CHURCHES OF OTHER TRIBAL
GROUPS THAT HAVE BEEN SPIRIT
00:15:23.66\00:15:28.83
WORSHIPERS. IF YOU WANT TO SAY
IT PLAINLY, YOU ARE TALKING
ABOUT DEVIL WORSHIP.
00:15:28.83\00:15:33.93
WE CAN VERIFY TO OUR
GOSPEL OUTREACH FAMILY VIEWERS
00:15:33.93\00:15:42.96
THAT WE ARE NOT BEYOND GOD'S
POWER OVER THE DEVIL IN THE 21ST
00:15:42.96\00:15:51.70
CENTURY AS WE SEE TESTIMONY OF
HOW PEOPLE ARE BEING RELIEVED
AND RELEASED FROM DEVIL
00:15:51.70\00:15:58.86
POSSESSION? YES, OBSOLUTELY!
00:15:58.86\00:16:00.23
MANY OF THE CHURCHES THAT I
VISITED WITH HAVE COME ABOUT
00:16:00.23\00:16:09.03
BECAUSE OF OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS VISITING THESE PEOPLE,
00:16:09.03\00:16:17.23
MAKING FRIENDS AND HELPING
THEM IN SOME PHYSICAL WAY.
00:16:17.23\00:16:22.26
THEY PRAY WITH THEM FOR RELEASE
FROM DEVIL POSESSION AND FROM
00:16:22.26\00:16:29.76
DEVIL HARASSMENT. THESE PEOPLE
ARE SO GRATEFUL THAT THEY BECOME
00:16:29.76\00:16:34.50
MEMBERS. IS THERE A
CHURCH IN A HMONG VILLAGE?
00:16:34.50\00:16:37.06
YES!
00:16:37.06\00:16:37.96
I HAVE A QUESTION.
00:16:37.96\00:16:40.80
I SEE THAT LUMBER IS
USED TO CONSTRUCT THIS.
00:16:40.80\00:16:44.13
DO THEY HAVE SAW MILLS OR
DO THEY SAW THIS OUT BY HAND?
00:16:44.13\00:16:47.63
THEY DO HAVE SAW MILLS.
00:16:47.63\00:16:50.13
THE BUILDINGS ARE NOT GREAT
BUILDINGS BUT THE PEOPLE ARE
00:16:50.13\00:16:57.36
WONDERFUL. WHEN I VISITED THERE
MANY, MANY YEARS AGO, I DIDN'T
SEE STRUCTURES WITH THIS
00:16:57.36\00:17:02.56
KIND OF STABILITY AT ALL.
00:17:02.56\00:17:05.63
THIS IS SOMETHING HAS COME WITH
THE ARRIVAL OF THE SAW MILL.
00:17:05.63\00:17:09.73
YES, EVEN A BUILDING THAT YOU
SEE ON THE SCREEN NOW IS
CERTAINLY AN UPGRADE
00:17:09.73\00:17:14.60
FROM WHAT I USED TO
SEE EVEN 25 YEARS AGO.
00:17:14.60\00:17:19.66
HOW MANY CHURCHES LIKE THIS ARE
THERE AMONG THE TRIBAL PEOPLE?
00:17:19.66\00:17:23.60
WE HAVE ABOUT 18 GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS SCATTERED AROUND THE
PERIMETER OF THAILAND.
00:17:23.60\00:17:34.63
EVERY ONE OF THESE GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS HAS AT LEAST
00:17:34.63\00:17:41.53
TWO AND UP TO FIVE CHURCHES THAT
THEY ARE TAKING CARE OF IN
VILLAGES IN A CERTAIN REGION.
00:17:41.53\00:17:49.90
THERE ARE PROBABLY 50 CHURCHES
IN THESE TRIBAL AREAS THAT I
PERSONALLY HAVE VISITED.
00:17:49.90\00:18:01.10
SOME OF THEM ARE
BEAUTIFUL BUILDINGS.
00:18:01.10\00:18:03.10
HERE IS THE INSIDE OF THIS
BUILDING THAT WE SAW ON THE
00:18:03.10\00:18:10.40
OUTSIDE. THERE IS A
WORSHIP SERVICE GOING ON.
00:18:10.40\00:18:13.36
THERE IS A LOT OF
YOUNG PEOPLE HERE.
00:18:13.36\00:18:16.16
THE CHURCHES ARE GROWING BECAUSE
YOUNG PEOPLE ARE COMING AND ALL
THESE YOUNGER CHILDREN.
00:18:16.16\00:18:23.23
MANY OF THEM HAVE
STARTED CHURCH SCHOOLS.
00:18:23.23\00:18:26.03
DO YOU HAVE A SCHOOL IN
CONNECTION WITH ONE OF THESE
00:18:26.03\00:18:29.23
CHURCHES? VERY OFTEN!
00:18:29.23\00:18:30.66
I AM JUST
LOOKING AT THE BUILDING.
00:18:30.66\00:18:33.03
THERE IS PROBABLY NO
ELECTRICITY IN THAT BUILDING.
00:18:33.03\00:18:35.63
PROBABLY NOT!
00:18:35.63\00:18:36.90
SO THEY CAN ONLY HAVE SERVICES
OR MEETINGS DURING DAYLIGHT
00:18:36.90\00:18:41.03
HOURS? THEY HAVE LAMPS,
LANTERNS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
00:18:41.03\00:18:47.00
MOSTLY, IT HAPPENS
DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS.
00:18:47.00\00:18:50.50
HERE THEY ARE PREPARING
THE GROUND FOR A NEW CHURCH
00:18:50.50\00:18:55.43
BUILDING. THIS GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKER WENT INTO THIS VILLAGE
AND A NEIGHBOR OF ONE OF MEMBERS
00:18:55.43\00:19:14.40
IN THE NEXT VILLAGE WAS VERY ILL
AND WAS HARASSED CONSTANTLY BY
00:19:14.40\00:19:28.50
THE DEMONS. THE GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKER WENT IN AND HAD PRAYER
00:19:28.50\00:19:35.63
WITH HER. THEY GAVE
HER SOME NATURAL REMEDIES.
00:19:35.63\00:19:38.03
HE AND HIS WIFE CARRY
ON A MINISTRY OF FIRST AID
00:19:38.03\00:19:43.33
AND BASIC THINGS THAT
WILL HELP THESE PEOPLE.
00:19:43.33\00:19:50.26
OF COURSE, THEY PRAYED
SEVERAL TIMES WITH THIS LADY.
00:19:50.26\00:19:56.20
IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS, SHE
WAS WELL AND FREE FROM THE DEMON
00:19:56.20\00:20:01.46
POSSESSION. SHE AND SEVERAL OF
HER FAMILY BECAME MEMBERS OF THE
CHURCH IN THE NEXT VILLAGE.
00:20:01.46\00:20:11.13
IT BECAME OVERCROWDED, SO THEY
ARE BUILDING A NEW CHURCH IN
00:20:11.13\00:20:16.80
THEIR VILLAGE. THIS IS THE NEW
CHURCH THAT THEY JUST BUILT AND
NOW PRACTICALLY THAT WHOLE
00:20:16.80\00:20:24.10
VILLAGE IS COMPOSED OF SEVENTH
DAY ADVENTIST CHRISTIANS.
00:20:24.10\00:20:28.10
IT IS JUST MARVELOUS!
00:20:28.10\00:20:29.60
WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THAT PLACE,
FROM ANIMISM  TO ADVENTISM IS A
00:20:29.60\00:20:37.13
BIG JUMP. NEARLY THAT WHOLE
VILLAGE HAS MADE THAT CHANGE.
00:20:37.13\00:20:42.53
NO JUMP IS TOO BIG OR
TOO SCARY FOR GOD, IS IT?
00:20:42.53\00:20:45.16
THAT BUILDING LOOKS LIKE A
DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENT OVER THE
00:20:45.16\00:20:50.40
LAST CHURCH. IS THAT MASONRY?
00:20:50.40\00:20:53.70
YES, THEY HAD CONCRETE BLOCK
COVERED WITH STUCCO AND WITH A
00:20:53.70\00:21:00.43
TIN ROOF. THAT
WAS A LOVELY BUILDING.
00:21:00.43\00:21:02.40
WAS THAT BUILT ON THE PROPERTY
THAT WE SAW THAT THEY WERE
00:21:02.40\00:21:05.60
PREPARING? YES!
00:21:05.60\00:21:06.86
THIS IS THEIR NEW CHURCH
BUILDING WITH A STEEL ROOF.
00:21:06.86\00:21:10.33
THIS IS THE HOME CHURCH IN
THE VILLAGE WHERE THE GOSPEL
00:21:10.33\00:21:17.40
OUTREACH WORKER WAS
PRAYING FOR THE SICK LADY.
00:21:17.40\00:21:21.26
THEY HAVE HAD
MARVELOUS GROWTH THERE, AS WELL.
00:21:21.26\00:21:26.66
THEY HAVE ABOUT 60
MEMBERS NOW IN THAT CHURCH.
00:21:26.66\00:21:30.40
THEY WENT IN THERE ABOUT FIVE
YEARS AGO AND STARTED MAKING
00:21:30.40\00:21:37.13
FRIENDS AND CARRYING
ON THEIR HEALTH MINISTRY.
00:21:37.13\00:21:39.50
THEY NOW HAVE A CHURCH WITH
ABOUT 60 MEMBERS AND IT KEEPS
00:21:39.50\00:21:46.20
GROWING. THIS PARTICULAR CHURCH
HAS SPAWNED OFF TWICE IN TWO
00:21:46.20\00:21:54.80
OTHER VILLAGES. DOES THAT MEAN
THERE IS NO OTHER FAITH GROUP IN
00:21:54.80\00:22:07.30
THAT AREA? THERE MAY BE IN THE
REGION BUT IN THAT PARTICULAR
VILLAGE EVERY PERSON IS A
00:22:07.30\00:22:16.10
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST.
00:22:16.10\00:22:17.76
THESE ARE
THRILLING, THRILLING ACCOUNTS.
00:22:17.76\00:22:21.70
THIS IS ALL HAPPENING
IN JUST ONE COMMUNITY.
00:22:21.70\00:22:26.13
YES, IN ONE AREA JUST 75
MILES EAST OF CHIANGMAI .
00:22:26.13\00:22:31.86
THAT IS GETTING
CLOSE TO MYANMAR .
00:22:31.86\00:22:36.30
YES, MYANMAR IS OFF TO THE WEST.
00:22:36.30\00:22:40.76
OFF TO THE EAST
WOULD BE LAOS AND CAMBODIA.
00:22:40.76\00:22:47.73
RIGHT WEST OF THEM IS LAOS .
00:22:47.73\00:22:50.33
NOW YOU HAVE GOT
ANOTHER PICTURE OR TWO.
00:22:50.33\00:22:52.13
YES, I DO!
00:22:52.13\00:22:53.53
HERE IS ANOTHER PLACE WHERE THEY
HAVE JUST RECENTLY BEGUN A NEW
00:22:53.53\00:23:00.16
PROGRAM. THIS IS STILL WHAT
WE WOULD CALL A BRANCH SABBATH
00:23:00.16\00:23:04.86
SCHOOL BUT THEY
HAVE BUILT A BUILDING.
00:23:04.86\00:23:07.16
THEY ARE REALLY MAKING SOME
WONDEFUL PROGRESS AMONG THESE
00:23:07.16\00:23:15.73
TRIBAL GROUPS. THAT REQUIRES
SOME RESOURCES TO PUT UP A
BUILDING LIKE THIS,
00:23:15.73\00:23:19.40
THE STEEL FOR THE ROOF
AND ALL THE THINGS IT TAKES.
00:23:19.40\00:23:24.06
DID THESE PEOPLE
RAISE SOME MONEY THEMSELVES?
00:23:24.06\00:23:25.73
MOSTLY, THE THAI
MISSION HELPS THEM SOME
00:23:25.73\00:23:28.96
AND PROBABLY EVEN THE SOUTHEAST
ASIA UNION WOULD HELP ALSO.
00:23:28.96\00:23:33.30
AND IN A FEW CASES, THEY WOULD
GET SOME MONEY FROM THE DIVISION
OFFICE DOWN IN MANILLA;
00:23:33.30\00:23:39.73
SO ALL OF THAT WOULD BE
VERY ENCOURAGING TO THEM.
00:23:39.73\00:23:41.83
DO YOU HAVE ONE MORE PICTURE?
00:23:41.83\00:23:45.96
I THINK THAT WAS
THE LAST PICTURE.
00:23:45.96\00:23:48.50
IT JUST GIVES YOU AN IDEA
OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THESE
00:23:48.50\00:23:54.03
VILLAGES. THEY ARE FINDING
A GREAT RECEPTION AMONG THESE
00:23:54.03\00:24:02.63
ANIMISTIC PEOPLE, @
00:24:02.63\00:24:08.10
WHO ARE JUST TIRED OF
TRYING TO APPEASE THE SPIRITS.
00:24:02.63\00:24:08.10
THEY OFFER ANIMAL SACRIFICES.
00:24:08.10\00:24:10.46
THE WITCH DOCTORS TELL THEM
WHAT THEY HAVE GOT TO OFFER:
00:24:10.46\00:24:13.50
A COW, A GOAT OR AT LEAST A
CHICKEN TO APPEASE THE SPIRITS.
00:24:13.50\00:24:21.30
THEY GET WEARY WITH ALL THE THIS
LIVING IN FEAR ALL OF THE TIME.
00:24:21.30\00:24:26.76
SO WHEN SOMEONE COMES WITH HOPE
AND A MESSAGE THAT SHOWS THAT
00:24:26.76\00:24:35.20
GOD LOVES THEM, IT IS JUST
A MARVELOUS CHANGE FOR THEM.
00:24:35.20\00:24:39.36
DAVID, WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT
THAILAND AND THE PERIMETER OF
00:24:39.36\00:24:48.60
TRIBAL PEOPLES THAT ARE VERY,
VERY PRODUCTIVE AS FAR AS GOSPEL
OUTREACH IS CONCERNED.
00:24:48.60\00:24:53.43
TELL US ABOUT THE
REST OF YOUR REGION.
00:24:53.43\00:24:56.83
WE HAVE WORK IN LAOS AND
VIETNAM, WHICH IS MAYBE THE
00:24:56.83\00:25:09.10
GREATEST SUCCESS STORY IN
SOUTHEAST ASIA-- THAT THE WORK
OF CHRISTIANITY IS GROWING IN
00:25:09.10\00:25:18.36
VIETNAM. IN CAMBODIA,
THEY ARE MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.
00:25:18.36\00:25:22.86
CHRISTIAN WORK IN
CAMBODIA IS ONLY 20 YEARS OLD.
00:25:22.86\00:25:30.40
SINCE THE DAYS OF THE POL POT
REGIME, WE NOW HAVE THOUSANDS OF
MEMBERS IN CAMBODIA,
00:25:30.40\00:25:40.36
PROBABLY 25 TO
30 THOUSAND MEMBERS.
00:25:40.36\00:25:47.83
THE CHURCH IN MYANMAR IS GROWING
WELL ALSO, BUT UNDER VERY
DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES.
00:25:47.83\00:25:57.20
IT IS NOT AN EASY PLACE.
00:25:57.20\00:25:58.96
BECAUSE SOME OUR VIEWERS WILL
RELATE, MYANMAR WAS FORMALLY
00:25:58.96\00:26:03.66
BURMA. THAT IS
WHAT WE CALL ERIC B.
00:26:03.66\00:26:07.36
HARE TERRITORY.
00:26:07.36\00:26:09.06
RIGHT!
00:26:09.06\00:26:10.33
I HAVE BEEN THERE IN SOUTHEAST
MYANMAR WHERE ERIC HARE WORKED.
00:26:10.33\00:26:14.80
THE KAREN PEOPLE
ARE WHO WE WORK FOR.
00:26:14.80\00:26:17.66
YOU STAY TUNED TO GOSPEL
OUTREACH IN " ADVENTURES IN
00:26:17.66\00:26:22.03
MISSIONS". YOU ARE GOING TO HEAR
MORE STORIES ABOUT SOME OF THIS
00:26:22.03\00:26:25.86
REGION WHERE DAVID GETS

00:26:25.86\00:26:29.30
REPRESENTATIVE. THANKS, DAVID.
00:26:29.30\00:26:30.53
IT IS ALWAYS GOOD TO BE WHERE
YOU ARE AND GOD BLESS ALL OF
00:26:30.53\00:26:33.33
YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
00:26:33.33\00:26:34.86
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS.

00:26:36.70\00:26:40.13
CLOSING MUSIC.
00:26:40.13\00:28:28.33
