?OPENING MUSIC?
00:00:10.90\00:00:25.83
WHAT A JOY TO BE
WITH YOU MANZOOR MASSEY.
00:00:25.83\00:00:28.53
THANK YOU.
00:00:28.53\00:00:29.73
GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN. WELCOME
TO"ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS"
00:00:29.73\00:00:32.93
THANK YOU FOR INVITING
ME. THE PLEASURE IS MINE.
00:00:32.93\00:00:35.03
I WANT TO WELCOME ALL
OF YOU WHO ARE WATCHING.
00:00:35.03\00:00:36.80
THIS IS A SPECIAL DAY. WE HAVE
MANY GUESTS WITH US, AND WE'RE
00:00:36.80\00:00:41.83
LOOKING FORWARD HEARING WHAT
GOD IS DOING AROUND THE WORLD.
00:00:41.83\00:00:47.63
WE WILL GIVE YOU A
CHANCE TO HEAR THE STORIES
00:00:47.63\00:00:52.26
THAT ARE HAPPENING
AROUND US MONTH BY MONTH.
00:00:52.26\00:00:55.43
MONZOOR, TELL US ABOUT THE
EXCITING THINGS HAPPENING IN YOU
00:00:55.43\00:01:01.83
LIFE. YOU WERE BACK TO INDIA
RECENTLY, AND YOU WERE DOING
SOMETHING RELATIVELY NEW FOR
00:01:01.83\00:01:12.23
YOU. YES. I SPENT A MONTH
IN INDIA. I HAVE COME ACROSS
00:01:12.23\00:01:18.76
A FASCINATING OPPORTUNITY TO
ADVANCE GOD'S MISSION IN INDIA.
00:01:18.76\00:01:24.96
REMIND THE AUDIENCE WHAT
PORTION OF INDIA IS YOUR FOCUS.
00:01:24.96\00:01:32.13
MY ASSIGNMENT IS IN THE
AREA CALLED ANDHRA PRADESH.
00:01:32.13\00:01:37.80
THIS IS THE
SOUTHERN PART OF INDIA.
00:01:37.80\00:01:42.33
I TOOK THE ENTIRE MONTH OF
FEBRUARY TO BE IN INDIA. IT WAS
00:01:42.33\00:01:49.70
SO REWARDING. I TELL YOU I CAME
BACK FROM INDIA MORE BLESSED
THAN I COULD HAVE BEEN A
00:01:49.70\00:01:55.96
BLESSING TO THEM. THAT
MEANS THAT YOU WERE WITH PEOPLE?
00:01:55.96\00:01:58.23
WHAT WERE YOU WITH
LOCAL VILLAGE PEOPLE?
00:01:58.23\00:02:03.23
ON THIS PARTICULAR VISIT, MY
GOAL WAS TO REACH TWO GROUPS OF
00:02:03.23\00:02:10.00
PEOPLE. THE FIRST ONE WAS
OUR OWN GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS.
00:02:10.00\00:02:13.73
HOW MANY DO WE HAVE?
00:02:13.73\00:02:15.00
WE HAVE 550
WORKERS IN MY TERRITORY.
00:02:15.00\00:02:21.36
JUST IN YOUR TERRITORY?
00:02:21.36\00:02:23.03
YES.
00:02:23.03\00:02:24.26
ALTOGETHER THERE ARE A LITTLE
OVER ONE THOUSAND IN INDIA.
00:02:24.26\00:02:29.20
WE HAVE A
FASCINATING, DEDICATED GROUP.
00:02:29.20\00:02:32.93
THE OPPORTUNITY THAT I WANT TO
TALK ABOUT THIS TIME IS ABOUT
OUTREACH TO INDEPENDENT PASTORS.
00:02:32.93\00:02:41.90
THERE IS A CHRISTIAN WORK THAT
IS MUCH BIGGER THAN OUR OWN.
00:02:41.90\00:02:44.93
INDEPENDENT PASTORS ARE
WORKING AMONG PEOPLE THEMSELVES?
00:02:44.93\00:02:49.66
YES. THESE PASTORS ARE NOT
CONNECTED TO ANY DENOMINATION.
00:02:49.66\00:02:53.83
THEY ARE ALMOST LIKE AN
ORGANIZATION TO THEMSELVES.
00:02:53.83\00:02:59.50
SO THEY MAY HAVE TWO,
THREE, OR TEN CHURCHES.
00:02:59.50\00:03:05.76
THEY WERE SURFING THE NET AND
FOUND SOMETHING CALLED"GOSPEL
OUTREACH" THEY SENT AN E-MAIL
00:03:05.76\00:03:16.66
SAYING,"WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST PEOPLE
BELIEVE". IT WAS MY ASSIGNMENT
00:03:16.66\00:03:25.76
TO GO OUT THERE AND CHECK IT OUT
AS TO WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE AND
WHAT ARE THEY INTERESTED IN.
00:03:25.76\00:03:32.96
I VISITED 300 OF
THESE INDEPENDENT PASTORS.
00:03:32.96\00:03:39.40
WHERE WERE YOU WHEN YOU FIRST
HEARD OF THEIR CONTACT WITH
00:03:39.40\00:03:43.53
GOSPEL OUTREACH? I WAS AT
HOME IN LOMA LINDA, CALIFORNIA.
00:03:43.53\00:03:48.73
MR. DICK MADSON HAD
ACTUALLY GOTTEN THE E-MAIL,
00:03:48.73\00:03:57.26
SO HE SENT IT TO ME ASKING ME TO
FIND OUT WHAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT.
00:03:57.26\00:04:01.26
WHEN DID IT BECOME EVIDENT
THAT THIS WAS LEADING TO A MUCH
00:04:01.26\00:04:06.00
BIGGER THING? INITIALLY, IT
SEEMED LIKE SOMEBODY WHO SIMPLY
00:04:06.00\00:04:10.30
WANTED SOME CONNECTION
WITH AN OVERSEAS GROUP.
00:04:10.30\00:04:13.40
I WROTE TO THIS PASTOR AND
SAID,"WOULD YOU PLEASE LET ME
KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE
00:04:13.40\00:04:20.26
INTERESTED IN?" HE WAS WRITING
TO ME FOUR TO FIVE TIMES A DAY.
00:04:20.26\00:04:26.66
I WAS GETTING VERY NERVOUS
AS HE WAS REALLY AFTER ME.
00:04:26.66\00:04:32.16
SO I WROTE TO HIM, TELLING HIM
THAT I WOULD RESPOND TO HIM ON A
WEEKLY OR A MONTHLY BASIS.
00:04:32.16\00:04:40.06
HIS REPLY WAS,"WELL, I HAVE
PASTORS, NEARLY ONE HUNDRED OF
00:04:40.06\00:04:46.73
THEM. THEY WANT TO KNOW WHAT
ADVENTIST PEOPLE BELIEVE." IT
TURNED OUT THAT I HAVE ANOTHER
00:04:46.73\00:04:53.40
ASSOCIATE THERE WHO WORKS
WITH ME ON SOME ROTARY PROJECTS.
00:04:53.40\00:04:57.73
THROUGH HIM I DISCOVERED THAT HE
WAS TRAINING 1200 SUCH PEOPLE.
00:04:57.73\00:05:03.73
I ASKED HIM TO ARRANGE A
MEETING WITH 200 OF THEM.
00:05:03.73\00:05:08.30
ALTOGETHER, I
MET WITH 300 PASTORS.
00:05:08.30\00:05:13.93
WAS THIS A NEW
ADVENTURE FOR YOU?
00:05:13.93\00:05:17.43
I HAD NOT MET WITH
NON-ADVENTIST PASTORS.
00:05:17.43\00:05:24.80
MOST OF MY BACKGROUND IS WORKING
OUTSIDE THE CHURCH STRUCTURE.
00:05:24.80\00:05:30.43
I WORKED WITH THE GOVERNMENT
FOR 25 YEARS IN PUBLIC HEALTH,
00:05:30.43\00:05:34.30
SO MY CONTACTS WERE
ALWAYS NON-ADVENTIST.
00:05:34.30\00:05:38.93
IN MANY CASES, IT WAS WITH
PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT EVEN
INTERESTED IN CHRISTIANITY AND
00:05:38.93\00:05:43.80
MAYBE ALLERGIC TO THE WORD "GOD"
SO I HAVE BEEN VERY INTERESTED
00:05:43.80\00:05:48.13
IN OUTREACH TO PEOPLE WHO ARE
NOT MEMBERS OF OUR OWN FAITH.
00:05:48.13\00:05:53.16
WHEN I HEARD THIS, I
THOUGHT,"WOW, WHAT A GREAT
00:05:53.16\00:05:55.86
OPPORTUNITY" THREE
HUNDRED OF THEM GOT TOGETHER.
00:05:55.86\00:06:02.60
FOR COMMUNICATIONS SAKE, HOW
MANY LANGUAGES WERE YOU DEALING
00:06:02.60\00:06:07.56
WITH? IN THIS PARTICULAR
CASE, 100 PEOPLE BELONGED TO ONE
00:06:07.56\00:06:16.93
LANGUAGE GROUP AND 200 TO
ANOTHER MAJOR LANGUAGE GROUP.
00:06:16.93\00:06:19.93
TRANSLATORS WERE AVAILABLE TO
TRANSLATE FOR ME AND THAT MADE
COMMUNICATION EASY.
00:06:19.93\00:06:27.76
AS YOU PREPARED FOR THIS
ADVENTURE, WHAT DID GOD PUT ON
00:06:27.76\00:06:37.53
YOUR HEART? GOD ACTUALLY
INSPIRED ME, IN MY OPINION.
00:06:37.53\00:06:40.90
HE GAVE ME AN IDEA THAT IF
YOU WANT TO EXPLAIN TO THEM WHAT
00:06:40.90\00:06:46.93
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST PEOPLE
BELIEVE, YOU MUST BEGIN WITH
00:06:46.93\00:06:51.03
GOD. WHAT DO ALL OUR
BELIEFS ABOUT GOD TELL PEOPLE?
00:06:51.03\00:06:56.73
I CAME UP WITH THE CONCEPT THAT
IT IS GOD'S PLAN TO BUILD A NEW
00:06:56.73\00:07:06.20
SOCIETY. THIS NEW SOCIETY
HAS TEN MAJOR PILLARS OF FAITH.
00:07:06.20\00:07:14.00
I BEGAN WITH EXPLAINING WHAT
THESE TEN PILLARS ARE THAT THE
NEW SOCIETY WILL BE BASED ON.
00:07:14.00\00:07:23.26
I SAID,"GOD IS
BUILDING THIS NEW SOCIETY.
00:07:23.26\00:07:28.90
ONE OF THE PILLARS IS THAT IN
THIS NEW SOCIETY NO ONE WILL BE
00:07:28.90\00:07:34.60
COVETING ANYTHING THAT
DOES NOT BELONG TO THEM.
00:07:34.60\00:07:37.50
EVERYBODY WILL BE CONTENT
AND WILL BE HAPPY WITH WHAT THEY
00:07:37.50\00:07:41.93
HAVE. THE FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD
WILL BE SUCH A REWARD THEY WILL
00:07:41.93\00:07:45.83
NOT BE INTERESTED IN WHAT
SOMEBODY HAS AND THEY DON'T
00:07:45.83\00:07:51.33
HAVE. WOULD YOU LIKE
TO BUILD SUCH A SOCIETY?
00:07:51.33\00:07:53.76
WOULDN'T THAT BE AN AWESOME
PLACE TO LIVE?" THEY ALL NODDED
00:07:53.76\00:08:00.80
YES. I SAID,"IN THIS NEW SOCIETY
NOBODY WILL TELL FALSE RUMORS
00:08:00.80\00:08:07.16
ABOUT ONE ANOTHER. THIS WILL
BE SUCH A CONGENIAL SOCIETY.
00:08:07.16\00:08:11.46
THE THINGS WE WILL SAY ABOUT OUR
NEIGHBORS, ABOUT OUR FRIENDS AND
OUR RELATIVES WILL ALL BE TRUE.
00:08:11.46\00:08:18.10
THE ORIGINAL
PROBLEM BEGAN WHEN THE ENEMY
00:08:18.10\00:08:22.96
STARTED TO TELL FALSE THINGS
ABOUT OUR HEAVENLY FATHER.
00:08:22.96\00:08:26.76
IN THIS NEW
SOCIETY THAT WILL BE GONE.
00:08:26.76\00:08:31.50
EVERYBODY WILL TELL JUST THE
TRUTH ABOUT ONE ANOTHER AND THE
TRUTH ABOUT OUR HEAVENLY FATHER.
00:08:31.50\00:08:37.33
WOULD YOU LIKE TO
LIVE IN SUCH A SOCIETY?
00:08:37.33\00:08:39.36
WOULD YOU LIKE TO BUILD SUCH A
SOCIETY?"AND THEY ALL SAID,"YES,
00:08:39.36\00:08:43.93
WE WOULD!" I SAY "IN THIS
SOCIETY NOBODY WILL MURDER.
EVERYBODY WILL BE LIVING IN
00:08:43.93\00:08:52.23
PEACE. NOBODY WILL INFLICT
INJURY OR HARM TO ANYBODY.
00:08:52.23\00:08:56.70
YOU WON'T NEED
PRISONS, JAILS, OR POLICE.
00:08:56.70\00:09:01.16
WHAT A SOCIETY THAT WOULD BE"
AND THEY ALL SAID,"YES, WE WOULD
LOVE TO LIVE IN THAT
00:09:01.16\00:09:05.76
SOCIETY" AND I SAID,"IN THIS
SOCIETY, THERE WILL BE NO MORE
00:09:05.76\00:09:11.50
ADULTERY. LET ME EXPLAIN TO YOU
THAT ADULTERY IS NOT JUST SEXUAL
00:09:11.50\00:09:16.93
MISCONDUCT. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
PUTTING TWO THINGS TOGETHER THAT
DON'T BELONG TOGETHER.
00:09:16.93\00:09:21.76
SO IF YOU SELL MILK AND YOU PUT
A LITTLE BIT OF WATER INTO IT,
00:09:21.76\00:09:26.73
THAT'S ADULTERY. IF YOU'RE
TELLING A STORY ABOUT YOUR
NEIGHBORS AND YOU MIX IN SOME
00:09:26.73\00:09:30.90
OF YOUR OWN STUFF INTO
THE STORY, THAT'S ADULTERY.
00:09:30.90\00:09:35.06
YOU CANNOT BE SELLING GHEE WHICH
IS BUTTER AND MIX SOMETHING ELSE
00:09:35.06\00:09:40.93
IN IT. YOU CAN'T TAKE ANOTHER
MAN'S WIFE AND ANOTHER WOMAN'S
HUSBAND AND PUT THEM TOGETHER.
00:09:40.93\00:09:45.06
THAT'S ADULTERY. IN THIS NEW
SOCIETY, THERE WILL BE NONE OF
00:09:45.06\00:09:50.43
THAT. WOULD YOU LIKE
TO BUILD SUCH A SOCIETY?
00:09:50.43\00:09:52.76
WOULD YOU LIKE TO LIVE IN SUCH
A SOCIETY?" AND THEY ALL NODDED
00:09:52.76\00:09:57.60
YES, THEY WOULD. I SAID,"IN
THIS SOCIETY, THERE WILL BE NO
00:09:57.60\00:10:00.23
STEALING. YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR
DOORS OPEN. YOU DON'T NEED AN
00:10:00.23\00:10:04.66
ALARM SYSTEM. YOU DON'T NEED ANY
OF THESE THINGS THAT WE THINK
00:10:04.66\00:10:07.60
ABOUT TO PROTECT
OURSELVES AND OUR BELONGINGS".
00:10:07.60\00:10:11.26
BY THIS TIME WERE THEY BEGINNING
TO RECOGNIZE WHERE YOU WERE
00:10:11.26\00:10:15.96
GOING WITH THIS? THEY
REALLY DID NOT HAVE AN IDEA YET.
00:10:15.96\00:10:19.63
WHEN I CAME TO THE NEXT POINT, I
SAID,"IN THIS NEW SOCIETY,
CHILDREN WILL ALL LOVE AND OBEY
00:10:19.63\00:10:28.10
THEIR PARENTS AND PARENTS WILL
GENUINELY LOVE THEIR CHILDREN.
00:10:28.10\00:10:33.40
THERE WILL BE NO CHILD ABUSE AND
NO NEED FOR CHILD PROTECTIVE
SERVICES. THERE WILL BE NO NEED
00:10:33.40\00:10:36.66
TO CALL 911 FOR CHILDREN WHEN
THEY ARE IN TROUBLE. THERE WILL
00:10:36.66\00:10:43.06
BE NO TROUBLE. WHAT A
SOCIETY THAT WOULD BE.
00:10:43.06\00:10:46.83
WOULD YOU WANT TO BUILD SUCH A
SOCIETY?" THEY SAID,"YES, WE ARE
00:10:46.83\00:10:50.70
WITH YOU. WE WOULD LIKE TO BUILD
THAT SOCIETY" I SAID,"IN THIS
SOCIETY, THERE WILL BE ONLY ONE
00:10:50.70\00:10:56.10
FATHER AND EVERYBODY WILL
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT FATHER BECAUSE
THE CONCEPT IS ONE FATHER,
00:10:56.10\00:11:05.00
ONE FAMILY" THEY SAID,"WOW, WE
LOVE THAT SOCIETY" I SAID,"WE
WILL NOT BOW DOWN TO
00:11:05.00\00:11:12.03
ANYBODY ELSE EXCEPT THAT ONE
GOD. THERE WILL BE ONLY ONE GOD.
00:11:12.03\00:11:18.26
WE WILL NOT MAKE MONEY, HOUSES,
POSITION, POWER, POPULARITY, OR
PRIVILEGES AS OUR GOD.
00:11:18.26\00:11:27.70
THESE WILL NOT BECOME OUR GODS.
WE WILL BE SO CONTENT IN
WORSHIPPING THE ONLY TRUE GOD.
00:11:27.70\00:11:35.66
WHAT A SOCIETY THAT WOULD BE.
WOULD YOU WANT TO LIVE IN SUCH A
00:11:35.66\00:11:40.30
SOCIETY? "THEY SAID,"YES,
WE WOULD" I SAID,"NOW IN THIS
00:11:40.30\00:11:44.90
SOCIETY NOBODY WILL TAKE GOD'S
NAME IN VAIN. DO YOU KNOW WHAT
00:11:44.90\00:11:50.66
THAT MEANS? THAT MEANS THAT OUR
LIFE AND OUR DEEDS, WHAT WE SAY
AND WHAT WE DO, WILL MATCH.
00:11:50.66\00:11:57.96
WE WILL NOT TAKE
HIS NAME IN VAIN.
00:11:57.96\00:12:00.56
WE WILL NOT SAY WE'RE GOD'S
CHILDREN AND THEN GO AHEAD AND
PLAY WITH THE DEVIL.
00:12:00.56\00:12:06.50
YOU CAN'T BORROW SOUP FROM THE
DEVIL AND TAKE BREAD FROM JESUS
00:12:06.50\00:12:11.83
AND EAT TOGETHER. SO EVERYBODY
WILL LIVE IN SUCH A WAY TO SHOW
00:12:11.83\00:12:19.60
THAT WE ARE GOD'S CHILDREN IN
PEACE AND HARMONY. WON'T THAT BE
00:12:19.60\00:12:25.93
A GREAT SOCIETY?" I BET YOU HAVE
VIVID MEMORIES OF WATCHING THEIR
00:12:25.93\00:12:29.90
FACES, WATCHING THEIR RESPONSES
ALL LEADING UP TO THIS POINT.
00:12:29.90\00:12:34.16
AND I'M BEGINNING TO SENSE THERE
IS ONE MORE YOU'RE GOING TO
00:12:34.16\00:12:37.83
MENTION. LET'S JUST CUT OFF
RIGHT HERE. I WANT TO GIVE OUR
00:12:37.83\00:12:45.06
LISTENERS AN INVITATION,
THOSE OF YOU LISTENING TO
00:12:45.06\00:12:46.76
THIS"ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS"
BY NOW, YOU'RE PROBABLY GUESSING
00:12:46.76\00:12:50.10
WHERE MONZOOR MASSEY IS GOING.
IF YOU SENSE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE
TO BE A PART OF TELLING OTHERS
00:12:50.10\00:12:56.30
ABOUT THAT NEW SOCIETY, CONTACT
GOSPEL OUTREACH AND FIND OUT HOW
YOU CAN PARTICIPATE.
00:12:56.30\00:13:01.10
I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS MOMENT.
00:13:23.93\00:13:28.30
LISTEN TO GOD'S
WORK ON YOUR HEART.
00:13:28.30\00:13:30.76
LISTEN TO THE SPIRIT AND
SEE WHERE HE IS LEADING YOU.
00:13:30.76\00:13:34.53
MAYBE HE IS CALLING YOU TO BE A
PART OF HELPING THESE PASTORS IN
00:13:34.53\00:13:44.56
INDIA. MAYBE HE IS CALLING YOU
TO BE A PART OF HELPING THESE
00:13:44.56\00:13:50.76
PASTORS IN INDIA. I WAS
DOING THE COUNTDOWN, MONZOOR.
00:13:50.76\00:13:54.66
YOU HAVE ONE MORE PILLAR IN THIS
IDEAL SOCIETY TO SHARE WITH US.
00:13:54.66\00:13:59.46
YES. THEN I TOLD THEM,"NOW WE
HAVE DISCUSSED NINE PILLARS OF
00:13:59.46\00:14:04.63
FAITH THAT UPHOLD THIS NEW
SOCIETY. THERE IS ONE MORE.
00:14:04.63\00:14:09.93
FATHER HAS GIVEN US THIS ONE
SO THAT WE CAN REMEMBER ALL THE
00:14:09.93\00:14:16.06
OTHER NINE. THREE OF THESE NINE
PILLARS OF FAITH THAT WE HAVE
00:14:16.06\00:14:18.46
DISCUSSED DESCRIBED OUR
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FATHER.
00:14:18.46\00:14:24.73
THE REST OF THEM HAVE DESCRIBED
OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ONE
00:14:24.73\00:14:30.06
ANOTHER. HE HAS GIVEN US ONE
MORE TO MAKE IT EASY FOR US TO
REMEMBER THESE NINE.
00:14:30.06\00:14:35.60
HE BEGINS TO EXPLAIN
THAT ONE BY SAYING "REMEMBER'.
00:14:35.60\00:14:42.30
WHEN DO WE TELL
PEOPLE TO REMEMBER?
00:14:42.30\00:14:45.40
1) WHEN IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
2) WHEN WE DON'T WANT THEM TO
00:14:45.40\00:14:52.66
FORGET IT. SO HE SAYS, "REMEMBER
TO KEEP THE SABBATH DAY HOLY'.
00:14:52.66\00:14:57.66
NOW WHY DID HE WANT TO EMPHASIZE
TO KEEP THE SABBATH DAY?
00:14:57.66\00:15:02.63
THAT IS BECAUSE THIS IS THE ONLY
PILLAR THAT ESTABLISHES THE
CONCEPT OF THE ONE FATHER AND
00:15:02.63\00:15:10.76
ONE FAMILY. IF YOU
DON'T HAVE THE CONCEPT OF ONE
00:15:10.76\00:15:14.53
FATHER AND ONE FAMILY,
YOU COULDN'T KEEP THE THREE
00:15:14.53\00:15:17.70
WHERE WE TALKED ABOUT
GOD AND YOU COULDN'T KEEP THE
00:15:17.70\00:15:20.63
OTHER SIX WHERE WE
TALKED ABOUT PEOPLE.
00:15:20.63\00:15:23.90
"ONCE YOU GET THE CONCEPT THAT
IT IS ONE FATHER AND ONE FAMILY,
00:15:23.90\00:15:28.93
IT IS SO EASY TO ABIDE
BY THESE PILLARS OF FAITH.
00:15:28.93\00:15:33.90
YOU ARE TEACHING THEM THAT
THIS COMMAND TO REMEMBER IS
00:15:33.90\00:15:39.33
WHAT UNIFIES AND PULLS
TOGETHER ALL THE OTHERS.
00:15:39.33\00:15:42.70
PLUS IT IS THE SAFEGUARD AGAINST
THE MAJOR PROBLEMS IN OUR
00:15:42.70\00:15:48.56
CULTURE, SUCH AS
IDENTITY CRISIS AND MATERIALISM.
00:15:48.56\00:15:53.36
SOME PEOPLE WONDER
WHETHER THEY CAME FROM A MONKEY.
00:15:53.36\00:15:56.30
IF YOU REMEMBER THIS PARTICULAR
PILLAR OF FAITH, YOU KNOW YOU
00:15:56.30\00:16:01.90
CAME FROM GOD. YOU ARE THE
CROWNING ACT OF GOD'S CREATION.
00:16:01.90\00:16:08.06
EVOLUTIONISM IS OUT THE WINDOW.
00:16:08.06\00:16:11.96
IN REGARD TO MATERIALISM,
AT THE END OF THE SIXTH DAY,
00:16:11.96\00:16:14.83
YOU KNEEL DOWN AND YOU
THANK GOD FOR ALL HIS BLESSINGS.
00:16:14.83\00:16:19.30
THEY ARE FROM GOD AND ARE FOR
US. WHEN YOU DO THAT, YOU CANNOT
00:16:19.30\00:16:26.06
BE A MATERIALIST. YOU WILL KNOW
WHEN ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. BEING
RICH IS NOT THE PROBLEM.
00:16:26.06\00:16:32.26
IT IS HOW YOU GET IT
AND WHAT YOU DO WITH IT.
00:16:32.26\00:16:35.10
IT TAKES AWAY THE MATERIALISM
THAT IS DRIVING PEOPLE CRAZY.
00:16:35.10\00:16:41.23
IT ALSO TAKES AWAY THE CASTE
SYSTEM THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO
00:16:41.23\00:16:47.06
THEM. INDIA HAS A
TREMENDOUS CASTE SYSTEM.
00:16:47.06\00:16:50.96
IT MAY BE ILLEGAL BUT
IT IS STILL THE PRACTICE.
00:16:50.96\00:16:52.93
YES. WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND
THE CONCEPT OF THE FAMILY OF
00:16:52.93\00:16:58.10
GOD ONE FATHER ONE FAMILY, THE
CASTE SYSTEM SIMPLY DISSIPATES.
00:16:58.10\00:17:05.30
EVERYBODY BELONGS TO ONE FAMILY.
THEN IT ALSO IS AN ANSWER FOR
00:17:05.30\00:17:13.26
RACISM. YOU WILL HAVE NO RACIAL
BARRIERS, BECAUSE WE ARE ALL
PART OF THE SAME FAMILY.
00:17:13.26\00:17:19.66
THIS WAS SUCH AN EXCITING WAY TO
EXPLAIN TO THEM THAT THESE
PILLARS OF FAITH TELL US
00:17:19.66\00:17:27.93
SOMETHING ABOUT GOD, NOT
ABOUT US OR ABOUT OUR CHURCH.
00:17:27.93\00:17:34.53
I WAS INTERESTED IN THEM
FALLING IN LOVE WITH JESUS,
00:17:34.53\00:17:39.66
FALLING IN LOVE WITH GOD RATHER
THAN WITH ME OR MY CHURCH.
00:17:39.66\00:17:44.06
THESE ARE CHRISTIANS MINISTERS?
00:17:44.06\00:17:47.96
YES, THEY ARE CHRISTIAN
MINISTERS, BUT THEY ARE NOT PART
00:17:47.96\00:17:51.03
OF OUR FAITH? CORRECT. SOMEWHERE
IN THEIR LIFE THEY HAD EITHER
LEFT OR GROWN UP IN HOMES THAT
00:17:51.03\00:17:57.76
HAD NOT ADOPTED THE OTHER
RELIGIONS OF INDIA BECAUSE THERE
00:17:57.76\00:18:02.96
ARE MANY. YOU HAVE
HINDUISM, ISLAM AND OTHERS.
00:18:02.96\00:18:06.36
SOMEHOW THEY HAD BECOME
PART OF THE CHRISTIAN TRADITION.
00:18:06.36\00:18:10.10
SOME OF THE WORDS YOU WERE USING
WERE VERY FAMILIAR TO THEM.
00:18:10.10\00:18:13.66
BUT THE WAY OF EXPLAINING IT WAS
NEW BOTH FOR THEM AND IT SOUNDS
LIKE FOR YOU AS WELL.
00:18:13.66\00:18:19.60
IT WAS AN ADVENTURE TO ME. I
BELIEVE GOD WAS GUIDING ME IN
00:18:19.60\00:18:25.06
THIS DIRECTION. I AM OF THE
OPINION THAT WE NEED TO DESCRIBE
OUR TOTAL FAITH IN LIGHT
00:18:25.06\00:18:33.03
OF WHAT IT TELLS US
ABOUT OUR HEAVENLY FATHER.
00:18:33.03\00:18:36.56
THAT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN
EXPECTING THEM TO BE PART OF MY
00:18:36.56\00:18:42.83
CHURCH. IF THEY REALLY FALL
IN LOVE WITH GOD, WHERE ARE THEY
00:18:42.83\00:18:46.73
GOING TO GO? THEY ARE
GOING TO GO TO OUR FELLOWSHIP.
00:18:46.73\00:18:51.10
THERE IS ANOTHER
VERY IMPORTANT CONCEPT.
00:18:51.10\00:18:53.43
I WANT TO QUICKLY SHARE A
COUPLE OF SLIDES WITH YOU.
00:18:53.43\00:18:56.70
WE BELIEVE THAT WHEN A BELIEVER
COMES TO JESUS EVERYTHING ABOUT
THIS BELIEVER MUST CHANGE.
00:18:56.70\00:19:03.56
THEY MUST HAVE A
BETTER SPIRITUAL LIFE.
00:19:03.56\00:19:06.46
THEY MUST HAVE BETTER PHYSICAL
LIFE AND SHOULD HAVE IMPROVED
00:19:06.46\00:19:14.63
EDUCATION AND
BETTER ECONOMIC HEALTH.
00:19:14.63\00:19:18.86
WE ARE TEACHING OUR PASTORS
TO PROPOSE THE IDEA THAT THEIR
00:19:18.86\00:19:26.63
CHILDREN SHOULD
COME TO OUR SCHOOLS.
00:19:26.63\00:19:29.43
WHEN YOU TAKE A CHILD BY THE
HAND, YOU HAVE GRABBED PARENTS
00:19:29.43\00:19:35.53
BY THE HEART. I HAD THE
PRIVILEGE TO MEET THE 550 WOMEN
THAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN HERE.
00:19:35.53\00:19:41.33
THEY ARE SO COLORFUL, JUST
A BEAUTIFUL ARRAY OF COLORS.
00:19:41.33\00:19:48.00
THESE PEOPLE ARE
FROM 38 VILLAGES.
00:19:48.00\00:19:52.53
THESE 550 WOMEN ARE
LEADERS OF THOSE VILLAGES.
00:19:52.53\00:19:58.10
THEY ARE VOLUNTEERING TO HELP
US WITH EVIDENCE-BASED MINISTRY.
00:19:58.10\00:20:03.93
WHAT WE WILL BE DOING IS ASKING
THEM TO HAVE CHILD-CENTERED
00:20:03.93\00:20:08.70
MINISTRY AND SEND THE
CHILDREN TO OUR SCHOOLS.
00:20:08.70\00:20:13.13
WHEN THE CHILDREN ARE AT
OUR SCHOOL, THEY ARE LEARNING.
00:20:13.13\00:20:18.13
THEY ARE ACTUALLY
PRACTICING WHAT WE TALK ABOUT.
00:20:18.13\00:20:22.13
HERE YOU FIND 750 CHILDREN
SITTING IN FRONT OF THE STAGE
00:20:22.13\00:20:27.36
WHILE I WAS SPEAKING TO THE
ADULTS. IT WAS SO INSPIRING.
00:20:27.36\00:20:31.93
THEN THESE CHILDREN PUT ON A
VERY SPECIAL PROGRAM FOR THE
ROTARY CLUB AND OUR VISITORS.
00:20:31.93\00:20:40.50
WE ARE ADOPTING THAT SCHOOL
TO PROVIDE KITCHEN AND LAUNDRY
00:20:40.50\00:20:49.10
FACILITIES. THESE
CHILDREN ARE ABSOLUTELY AWESOME.
00:20:49.10\00:20:51.63
ANOTHER VERY SPECIAL
OUTREACH THAT WE ARE STARTING
00:20:51.63\00:20:54.36
IS MINISTRY TO THE HOMELESS
PEOPLE AND TO THEIR CHILDREN.
00:20:54.36\00:20:59.63
WE HAVE NEARLY 50 MILLION PEOPLE
WHO ARE PART OF WHAT WE
CALL"SCAVENGER COMMUNITIES"
00:20:59.63\00:21:09.63
WE CALL THEM HOMELESS PEOPLE.
THESE INDIVIDUALS HAVE CHILDREN.
00:21:09.63\00:21:14.80
THE MOMENT PARENTS ARE OLD, KIDS
TAKE ON THE SAME JOB AND THE
CYCLE OF POVERTY CONTINUES.
00:21:14.80\00:21:21.50
WE ARE NOW PROPOSING THAT WE
START AN EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR
00:21:21.50\00:21:26.00
THE CHILDREN ALONG WITH GIVING
BIBLE STUDIES TO THE PARENTS.
00:21:26.00\00:21:31.10
I WANT TO TELL YOU A STORY
ABOUT THIS ONE LITTLE CHILD.
00:21:31.10\00:21:33.80
AFTER I VISITED THEIR DORMITORY
AT THIS PARTICULAR SCHOOL, HE
WALKED WITH ME, AND WHEN
00:21:33.80\00:21:39.36
EVERYBODY WAS GONE HE LOOKED AT
ME AND SAID,"SIR, I HAVE A GIFT
00:21:39.36\00:21:44.40
FOR YOU" HE QUICKLY PUT IN MY
HAND A VERY SMALL PLASTIC TOY.
00:21:44.40\00:21:48.96
THIS WAS A TOY HE PROBABLY HAD
BEEN SAVING FOR A LONG TIME, AND
00:21:48.96\00:21:54.53
HE GAVE IT TO ME. HE SAID,"I
WANT YOU TO HAVE THIS" I DIDN'T
WANT TO TURN IT DOWN.
00:21:54.53\00:21:59.36
I HUGGED HIM AND I THANKED HIM.
I MET HIS PRINCIPAL AND GAVE HIM
00:21:59.36\00:22:04.86
SOME MONEY. I SAID,"TAKE CARE OF
THIS BOY" AS I WAS LEAVING,
SOMETHING KEPT TELLING ME,
00:22:04.86\00:22:09.63
"YOU'VE GOT TO SEE THIS
BOY" I TOLD THE PRINCIPAL
00:22:09.63\00:22:12.80
I REALLY WANTED TO
SEE THIS CHILD AGAIN.
00:22:12.80\00:22:16.16
LO AND BEHOLD, WHEN I LOOKED AT
THE DOOR TO THE VAN, WHO DO YOU
THINK IS STANDING THERE?
00:22:16.16\00:22:21.60
IT'S THIS BOY.
HE WANTED TO SEE ME.
00:22:21.60\00:22:26.10
HE SAID,"SIR, I JUST WANTED
TO SAY GOODBYE" I TELL YOU YOUR
00:22:26.10\00:22:29.36
HEART IS WARMED WHEN YOU
HAVE THESE KINDS OF EXPERIENCES.
00:22:29.36\00:22:33.36
I WANT TO THANK OUR PRAYER
PARTNERS AND OUR DONORS WHO ARE
00:22:33.36\00:22:37.36
BEHIND THIS
GOSPEL OUTREACH PROGRAM.
00:22:37.36\00:22:40.56
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS
REALLY AN ANSWER TO MY PRAYER.
00:22:40.56\00:22:44.20
I SPENT MOST OF MY LIFE
WORKING OUTSIDE THE CHURCH.
00:22:44.20\00:22:47.96
I STILL HAVE AN INDEPENDENT
BUSINESS, BUT THIS WAS AN ANSWER
00:22:47.96\00:22:55.86
TO MY PRAYER. I WANTED TO
BE CONNECTED TO AN ORGANIZATION
00:22:55.86\00:22:58.50
TO DO WHAT I LOVE DOING
AND WHERE THERE IS NO OVERHEAD.
00:22:58.50\00:23:02.73
TELL THE PEOPLE AGAIN
WHERE THEIR DONATIONS HAVE MADE
00:23:02.73\00:23:09.20
A DIFFERENCE IN THIS
MINISTRY THAT YOU ARE DOING.
00:23:09.20\00:23:11.63
WHERE DID YOU SEE THE
EFFECTS OF THEIR INVESTMENT?
00:23:11.63\00:23:15.00
NUMBER ONE: THE 550 WORKERS THAT
WE HAVE ARE ALL ADOPTING ONE,
TWO, THREE, FIVE VILLAGES EACH,
00:23:15.00\00:23:23.93
SO THERE IS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT
OF AREA THAT IS BEING COVERED
00:23:23.93\00:23:30.60
WITH THE GOSPEL. INDIA, AS YOU
KNOW, HAS 1.2 BILLION PEOPLE.
00:23:30.60\00:23:34.63
THEY ARE CATCHING UP WITH CHINA.
00:23:34.63\00:23:35.96
OH, YES. AND THE HARVEST
IS READY. THESE PEOPLE ARE SO
00:23:35.96\00:23:39.46
HUNGRY. IF YOU WANT TO INVEST
YOUR DOLLAR, THIS IS THE BEST
00:23:39.46\00:23:44.93
PLACE. THE TIME WILL COME
WHEN MONEY WILL NOT BE WORTH
00:23:44.93\00:23:49.13
ANYTHING. WE ARE SEEING THE
EVENTS OF THIS WORLD CLOSING IN
00:23:49.13\00:23:55.40
SO RAPIY. WE ARE SO FORTUNATE
THAT GOD AND HIS ANGELS ARE
HOLDING BACK THE WINDS OF
00:23:55.40\00:24:01.40
STRIFE. THEY ARE
GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY.
00:24:01.40\00:24:03.90
I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT OUR MAIN
JOB ON THIS EARTH IS TO MAKE
FRIENDS FOR GOD'S KINGDOM.
00:24:03.90\00:24:10.23
EVERYTHING ELSE WE DO IS TO
SIMPLY PAY OUR BILLS. MY
FRIENDS, DO YOUR BUDGET.
00:24:10.23\00:24:16.13
IF YOUR BILLS ARE PAID, INVEST
EVERYTHING YOU CAN WITH GOD
00:24:16.13\00:24:20.16
BECAUSE THAT IS WORTH EVERY DROP
OF YOUR BLOOD, IN MY OPINION.
00:24:20.16\00:24:28.10
YOU SHOWED US A SCHOOL. HOW
IS IT LINKED TO GOSPEL OUTREACH?
00:24:28.10\00:24:34.60
WE ARE ENCOURAGING OUR GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS TO HAVE THE
00:24:34.60\00:24:38.86
CHILDREN OF THE NEW
BELIEVERS COME TO OUR SCHOOLS.
00:24:38.86\00:24:42.73
IF YOU TRAVEL IN INDIA, MOST OF
OUR CHURCHES ARE FILLED WITH
WOMEN AND CHILDREN.
00:24:42.73\00:24:49.13
WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF A FOREST
THAT IS GETTING OLD AND DRYING
00:24:49.13\00:24:54.70
OUT? IT'S THE
NEW TREES, ISN'T IT?
00:24:54.70\00:24:55.80
YES.
00:24:55.80\00:24:57.20
SO WE NEED TO CONCENTRATE ON
THE NEW TREES AND PLANTING MORE
00:24:57.20\00:25:03.10
TREES. THE GOOD THING ABOUT THE
CHILDREN IS, WHEN YOU SPEAK TO
00:25:03.10\00:25:04.93
THEM THEY ACTUALLY BELIEVE
YOU. THEY ARE SO FASCINATED.
00:25:04.93\00:25:09.90
YOU OUGHT TO
VISIT THEIR DORMITORIES.
00:25:09.90\00:25:12.80
I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY PLACE
AS NEAT AS THEY KEEP THEIR OWN
00:25:12.80\00:25:20.13
DORMITORIES. THE SCHOOLS ARE A
SEPARATE ORGANIZATION FROM
GOSPEL OUTREACH, BUT THEY ARE A
00:25:20.13\00:25:25.10
RESOURCE TO WHICH THE GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS CAN FUNNEL
00:25:25.10\00:25:30.43
THESE CHILDREN. THIS GIVES THE
CHILDREN A CHANCE TO GROW
EMOTIONALLY AND SPIRITUALLY AT
00:25:30.43\00:25:37.80
THE SAME TIME. GOSPEL OUTREACH
DOES NOT SUPPORT ANY OF THE
00:25:37.80\00:25:41.50
SCHOOLS. BECAUSE WE ARE A
WORLD-WIDE CHURCH, WE HAVE AN
00:25:41.50\00:25:46.33
OPPORTUNITY TO LINK WITH
ONE ANOTHER AND BENEFIT OUR
00:25:46.33\00:25:50.60
BELIEVERS AS THEY COME.
EVERYTHING ABOUT A BELIEVER
00:25:50.60\00:25:53.36
OUGHT TO BE BETTER
WHEN THEY COME TO JESUS.
00:25:53.36\00:25:55.73
MONZOOR, THIS IS EXCITING.
I CAN ALMOST FEEL MYSELF THERE
00:25:55.73\00:26:01.10
WATCHING THE FACES OF THESE
PASTORS AS THEY HEARD THIS
VISION OF WHAT GOD IS TRYING TO
00:26:01.10\00:26:06.13
DO. I WANT TO END OUR
SESSION BY INVITING OUR VIEWERS
00:26:06.13\00:26:10.20
AGAIN TO CONSIDER
CONTACTING GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:26:10.20\00:26:14.20
CONSIDER MAKING GOSPEL
OUTREACH A PART OF YOUR MISSION,
00:26:14.20\00:26:20.90
YOUR OWN OUTREACH TO THE WORLD.
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PLACES
WHERE YOU CAN SEE GOD AT WORK.
00:26:20.90\00:26:30.83
DON'T MISS THAT
OPPORTUNITY. LOOK ON THE SCREEN.
00:26:30.83\00:26:34.73
FIND THE NUMBERS.
FIND THE RESOURCES.
00:26:34.73\00:26:37.03
CALL THEM. DO YOU
HAVE A LAST WORD, MONZOOR?
00:26:37.03\00:26:39.36
I JUST WANT TO TELL OUR VIEWERS
THAT WE ARE STARTING A SPECIAL
00:26:39.36\00:26:42.96
EVANGELISTIC CAMPAIGN
JUST FOR THESE PASTORS.
00:26:42.96\00:26:46.73
I WOULD LOVE OUR
VIEWERS TO BECOME PART OF THAT.
00:26:46.73\00:26:49.80
PRAY FOR US AND
LIBERALLY DONATE.
00:26:49.80\00:26:52.20
THANK YOU.
00:26:52.20\00:26:53.36
GOOD TO TALK TO YOU.
00:26:53.36\00:26:54.26
GOD BLESS.
00:26:54.26\00:26:55.50
?CLOSING MUSIC?
00:26:55.50\00:26:56.50
