HELLO EVERYONE.
00:00:01.50\00:00:25.16
IT IS MY PRIVILEGE TO WELCOME
ALL OF YOU TO ANOTHER PROGRAM OF
"ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS".
00:00:25.16\00:00:29.26
THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE BEEN
WATCHING WITH US FOR QUITE A
00:00:29.26\00:00:35.10
WHILE KNOW THAT WE HAVE
STORIES ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:00:35.10\00:00:37.40
WE HAVE A REGIONAL
DIRECTOR WITH US TODAY.
00:00:37.40\00:00:41.20
THE FIRST THING I AM GOING TO DO
IS ASK HER TO TELL US A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:00:41.20\00:00:46.70
BEVERLY THOMPSON, THANK
YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH US.
00:00:46.70\00:00:50.13
YOU ARE A REGIONAL DIRECTOR.
00:00:50.13\00:00:52.66
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:00:52.66\00:00:53.96
IT MEANS THAT GOSPEL OUTREACH
HAS NATIVE WORKERS IN THEIR
00:00:53.96\00:00:59.63
HOMELAND THAT REGIONAL
DIRECTORS GO OUT TO VISIT.
00:00:59.63\00:01:03.46
EVERY YEAR THEY GO TO SEE THAT
WORKERS ARE DOING THE WORK THAT
00:01:03.46\00:01:08.16
THEY ARE EXPECTED TO DO.
00:01:08.16\00:01:09.60
THE DIRECTORS MAKE SURE THE
ADMINISTRATORS OVER THERE ARE
00:01:09.60\00:01:11.70
GIVING THEM THE SALARIES THAT
WE'RE EXPECTING THEM TO GIVE.
00:01:11.70\00:01:13.76
YOU MONITOR WHAT IS
HAPPENING OVER THERE?
00:01:13.76\00:01:16.90
YOU DO A LITTLE
AUDITING OF WHAT TAKES PLACE?
00:01:16.90\00:01:19.66
WE TRY TO NOT DO
IT IN A STRONG WAY.
00:01:19.66\00:01:22.90
WE TRY TO DO IT
IN A VISITING WAY.
00:01:22.90\00:01:26.50
PART OF WHAT YOU DO WHEN YOU
GO THERE IS TO HOLD SEMINARS AND
00:01:26.50\00:01:30.50
TEACH? YES!
00:01:30.50\00:01:31.43
YOU ALSO HAVE BECOME
KNOWN AS PREACHER BEVERLY.
00:01:31.43\00:01:34.46
THAT IS A GOOD ONE FOR ME.
00:01:34.46\00:01:37.53
I HAD NEVER
HEARD THAT ONE BEFORE.
00:01:37.53\00:01:39.10
I DO SOME PREACHING.
00:01:39.10\00:01:40.76
YOU ARE HERE TODAY WITH ANOTHER
OF YOUR FRIENDS, ELAINE SHAW.
00:01:40.76\00:01:48.46
WELCOME, ELAINE!
00:01:48.46\00:01:49.86
SHE IS IN TRAINING
TO BE A PREACHER, ALSO.
00:01:49.86\00:01:52.70
ELAINE, IS THIS
YOUR FIRST MISSION TRIP?
00:01:52.70\00:01:56.76
NO, MY PARENTS WERE MISSIONARIES
IN COSTA RICA WHEN I WAS A
00:01:56.76\00:02:04.43
TEENAGER. SO I HAVE
SPENT SOME TIME IN COSTA RICA.
00:02:04.43\00:02:07.00
JUST TELL ME, WHAT WAS
THIS TRIP LIKE FOR YOU?
00:02:07.00\00:02:12.13
IT WAS A REAL CULTURAL EXCHANGE
FOR ME; AN EXPERIENCE THAT
00:02:12.13\00:02:21.30
CHANGED MY LIFE. IT TOTALLY
REVAMPED HOW I THOUGHT ABOUT
MISSIONS AND WHAT WE DO TO SHARE
00:02:21.30\00:02:31.70
THE GOSPEL.
BEVERLY, WHERE DID YOU GO?
00:02:31.70\00:02:33.33
WITH ELAINE, WE WERE IN THE
STATE OF CHHATTISGARH ,
JHARKHAND AND SOUTH BENGAL.
00:02:33.33\00:02:40.53
DON'T ASK ME TO REPEAT THAT.
00:02:40.53\00:02:42.26
THE SOUTH BENGAL, I
THINK I CAN REMEMBER THAT.
00:02:42.26\00:02:45.00
DO THE PEOPLE
SPEAK BENGALI THERE?
00:02:45.00\00:02:48.16
IN SOUTH BENGAL, YES!
00:02:48.16\00:02:50.40
OTHERWISE WE MAINLY SEE HINDI.
00:02:50.40\00:02:53.93
DO YOU PICK UP WORDS AND PHRASES
THAT HELP YOU COMMUNICATE?
00:02:53.93\00:02:59.10
YES, JUST COURTESY WORDS.
00:02:59.10\00:03:01.03
TELL US ABOUT THIS RECENT TRIP.
00:03:01.03\00:03:05.43
I UNDERSTAND THERE
WERE SOME "DICEY" MOMENTS.
00:03:05.43\00:03:10.20
YES, SOME VERY
INTERESTING EXPERIENCES.
00:03:10.20\00:03:14.66
TO BEGIN WITH, ELAINE AND I
WERE IN THE WALLA WALLA AIRPORT
00:03:14.66\00:03:21.26
AND I WAS SAYING GOODBYE TO HER.
00:03:21.26\00:03:23.30
SHE LEFT SIX HOURS BEFORE ME.
00:03:23.30\00:03:26.30
WE WERE TO MEET IN DELHI.
00:03:26.30\00:03:28.33
SHE WAS TO ARRIVE FOUR
AND A HALF HOUR BEFORE ME.
00:03:28.33\00:03:32.06
WE WERE TO MEET, and THEN FLY
TO OUR NEXT LOCATION IN RAIPUR.
00:03:32.06\00:03:37.56
MY AIR FLIGHT WAS AN HOUR LATE.
00:03:37.56\00:03:42.16
OUR CONNECTION WAS SO CLOSE AND
THAT BY THE TIME I WAS AN HOUR
00:03:42.16\00:03:46.06
LATE. I HAD TO GO
THROUGH IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS,
00:03:46.06\00:03:47.86
FIND THE DOMESTIC
AIRPORT PLUS FIND ELAINE.
00:03:47.86\00:03:53.90
THE GATES WERE CLOSED.
00:03:53.90\00:03:55.80
I COULDN'T GO ON MY FLIGHT.
00:03:55.80\00:03:57.36
THEY JUST TOLD ME THAT I
HAD TO BUY ANOTHER TICKET.
00:03:57.36\00:04:00.56
I WENT AND
BOUGHT ANOTHER TICKET.
00:04:00.56\00:04:02.36
I STILL HADN'T FOUND ELAINE.
00:04:02.36\00:04:03.76
WHEN I DID FIND ELAINE, WE
IMMEDIATELY GOT A TICKET FOR HER
00:04:03.76\00:04:08.30
TO GO WITH ME. WE HAD TO WAIT
FOR 12 HOURS FOR OUR NEXT FLIGHT
00:04:08.30\00:04:15.36
TO ARRIVE. I HAVE
TO CATCH UP WITH YOU.
00:04:15.36\00:04:18.36
WHY DIDN'T THE TWO OF YOU LEAVE
FROM WALLA WALLA ON THE SAME
00:04:18.36\00:04:22.56
FLIGHT? WE DIDN'T
BOOK AT THE SAME TIME.
00:04:22.56\00:04:25.26
FOR SOME REASON WHEN I BOOKED,
00:04:25.26\00:04:28.20
IT WAS LIKE 1500 DOLLARS
MORE EXPENSIVE TO GO WITH HER.
00:04:28.20\00:04:32.00
I WANTED TO SAVE THAT MONEY.
00:04:32.00\00:04:33.86
I DIDN'T WANT TO
SPEND ANYMORE THAN I HAD TO.
00:04:33.86\00:04:36.40
YOU FINALLY DID CONNECT THEN?
00:04:36.40\00:04:39.56
YES, EVENTUALLY.
00:04:39.56\00:04:41.26
I HAD ARRANGED FOR A PASTOR
FROM THE CHHATTISGARH CONFERENCE
00:04:41.26\00:04:45.43
AND PASTOR BHATTI FROM THE
UNION TO MEET US IN RAIPUR .
00:04:45.43\00:04:50.50
SINCE WE WERE TWELVE HOURS LATE
AND HAD NO WAY TO
COMMUNICATEWITH THEM, THEY
00:04:50.50\00:04:56.00
WAITED 6 HOURS
AND THEN WENT HOME.
00:04:56.00\00:04:58.06
THEY DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
00:04:58.06\00:05:01.13
WHEN WE FINALLY GOT TO RAIPUR
AND KNEW THEY WOULDN'T BE THERE,
00:05:01.13\00:05:05.10
I MADE A TENATIVE PLAN TO
GO TO THE PREPAY TAXI BOOTH.
00:05:05.10\00:05:12.46
I WOULD PAY FOR A TAXI AHEAD OF
TIME SO I WOULDN'T GET CHEATED
00:05:12.46\00:05:17.30
BY ANYONE. WE GOT TO BELI TWO
HOURS AFTER WE BOOKED THE TAXI.
00:05:17.30\00:05:21.86
I HAD ONLY BEEN
THERE ONCE BEFORE.
00:05:21.86\00:05:25.80
I TRIED TO FIND OUT WHERE THE
SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH AND
SCHOOL ARE LOCATED.
00:05:25.80\00:05:36.90
BY NOW, IT WAS
11 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT.
00:05:36.90\00:05:38.76
I REMEMBER SAYING TO THE TAXI
DRIVER, "ASK THESE PEOPLE WHERE
THE CHURCH IS LOCATED."
00:05:38.76\00:05:48.06
HE SAID THAT THEY WERE DRUNK.
00:05:48.06\00:05:49.46
I THOUGHT I WILL
KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT.
00:05:49.46\00:05:51.33
THE TAXI DRIVER
CAN ASK KNOWLEDGEABLY.
00:05:51.33\00:05:55.10
TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT,
WE ASKED PEOPLE WHERE TO GO.
00:05:55.10\00:06:00.53
THEY SAID YOU GO THIS WAY
AND THAT WAY AND THIS WAY.
00:06:00.53\00:06:02.46
WE WENT THIS WAY AND
THAT WAY THREE TIMES.
00:06:02.46\00:06:07.50
FINALLY, WE CAME BACK
TO THE SAME MAN AGAIN.
00:06:07.50\00:06:10.46
THEY WERE GETTING READY TO
TAKE OFF ON MOTRCYCLES, AND THEY
00:06:10.46\00:06:14.03
SAID, "FOLLOW US". THEY GOT ON
THE MOTORCYCLE AND TOOK US RIGHT
00:06:14.03\00:06:17.90
TO THE PLACE. WE
GOT THERE AT 12:15 A.M.
00:06:17.90\00:06:21.63
WE KNOCKED ON THE DOOR
AND WOKE UP THE PASTORS.
00:06:21.63\00:06:24.73
THEY HAD JUST GONE TO BED
SO BEWILDERED, NOT KNOWING WHAT
00:06:24.73\00:06:28.80
HAPPENED TO ME. WE HAD A
WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE WITH THEM
00:06:28.80\00:06:33.60
THERE AFTER THAT. WE
SAID IT WAS A MIRACLE.
00:06:33.60\00:06:35.30
HOW LONG SINCE YOU TWO HAD
BEEN ABLE TO LIE DOWN TO REST?
00:06:35.30\00:06:41.03
FOR ELAINE, IT WAS ABOUT 36
HOURS AND FOR ME, IT WAS CLOSE
00:06:41.03\00:06:47.76
TO 48 HOURS.
MORNING CAME VERY QUICKLY?
00:06:47.76\00:06:52.93
YES, IT DID.
00:06:52.93\00:06:56.73
AT 6:15 A.M., WE HAD
TO LEAVE FOR A TRAIN.
00:06:56.73\00:06:59.13
THIS WAS THE
SCHOOL THAT WE STAYED IN.
00:06:59.13\00:07:01.33
WE SLEPT ON
THOSE BEDS RIGHT THERE.
00:07:01.33\00:07:05.13
WE CAME BACK LATER TO FIND
THAT THE CHILDREN HAVE THEIR
00:07:05.13\00:07:09.00
CLASSROOM RIGHT IN THE
SAME ROOM WHERE WE SLEPT.
00:07:09.00\00:07:11.36
THIS IS THE BOYS DORMITORY HERE.
00:07:11.36\00:07:14.36
THEN WE TRAVELED A
COUPLE OF HOURS BY TRAIN.
00:07:14.36\00:07:21.06
NEXT WE GOT IN A JEEP AND WENT
UP INTO THE MOUNTAINS TO THIS
LITTLE CHURCH CALLED KHUTITOLI.
00:07:21.06\00:07:32.23
I AM NOT VERY GOOD
AT THE PROUNCIATION.
00:07:32.23\00:07:34.06
IN KHUTITOLI, IT IS KIND OF A
TRIBAL AREA AND IT IS COOLER UP
00:07:34.06\00:07:39.60
THERE. THERE IS A
LOVELY CONGREGATION.
00:07:39.60\00:07:41.80
IS THIS THEIR CHURCH?
00:07:41.80\00:07:43.33
YES, THIS IS THE CHURCH.
00:07:43.33\00:07:44.96
WE SLEPT IN THAT
BACK CORNER THAT YOU SEE.
00:07:44.96\00:07:48.90
IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS THE FRONT
BUT IT IS THE BACK OF THE CHURCH
00:07:48.90\00:07:52.60
THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT HERE.
00:07:52.60\00:07:54.06
I MUST SAY THAT OUR BATHROOM WAS
RIGHT ACROSS THE HALL FROM WHERE
00:07:54.06\00:07:58.73
WE SLEPT. WE JUST HAD TO GO DOWN
THOSE STAIRS AND ACROSS THE
GRASS OVER TO THE LATRINE.
00:07:58.73\00:08:03.26
IN THE MORNING, THE GIRL
PUMPING THE WATER AWAKENED US.
00:08:03.26\00:08:10.60
SHE WAS CARRYING WATER TO
THE LATRINE SO WE COULD BATHE.
00:08:10.60\00:08:13.76
WOW!
00:08:13.76\00:08:15.40
SO I COULD SEE THIS WAS
A CULTURAL CHANGE FOR YOU.
00:08:15.40\00:08:20.63
DEFINITELY, THAT IS TRUE.
00:08:20.63\00:08:22.06
OF COURSE, BEVERLY HAD BEEN
IN THIS SITUATION MANY TIMES.
00:08:22.06\00:08:24.76
SHE MAY FEEL MORE AT HOME THERE
THAN SHE DOES IN COLLEGE PLACE.
00:08:24.76\00:08:27.76
I AM EQUALLY COMFORTABLE.
00:08:27.76\00:08:30.53
YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE
CAMPING THE WHOLE TIME.
00:08:30.53\00:08:32.73
THIS IS CHURCH SABBATH MORNING,
THE MORNING AFTER OUR ARRIVAL.
00:08:32.73\00:08:37.46
THE LADIES ARE IN THEIR LOVELY
SARI AND SINGING THE OPENING
00:08:37.46\00:08:48.80
SONG FOR US.
WHAT COLORFUL DRESS!
00:08:48.80\00:08:50.76
JUST LIKE WHAT YOU
ARE DRESSED IN NOW.
00:08:50.76\00:08:53.83
THE CONGREGATION WAS THRILLING.
00:08:53.83\00:08:57.96
IT WAS A WEEK-END REVIVAL.
00:08:57.96\00:08:59.63
EVERYONE HAD COME.
00:08:59.63\00:09:01.60
THE CHURCH WAS PACKED.
00:09:01.60\00:09:02.90
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS
FROM THE AREA WERE ALL THERE.
00:09:02.90\00:09:05.76
EVERYONE
PARTICIPATES IN THE SINGING.
00:09:05.76\00:09:09.13
IT IS A THRILLING EXPERIENCE
TO BE THERE WITH THEM.
00:09:09.13\00:09:11.70
DID YOU PREACH THERE THEN?
00:09:11.70\00:09:13.36
OH, YES!
00:09:13.36\00:09:14.63
HOW MANY GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS
WERE IN THIS PARTICULAR MEETING?
00:09:14.63\00:09:17.50
TEN!
00:09:17.50\00:09:18.56
TEN OF THEM!
00:09:18.56\00:09:20.03
HOW MANY CHURCHES LIKE
THIS ONE IN THIS REGION?
00:09:20.03\00:09:23.70
THAT IS THE SAD PART
ABOUT IT; NOT VERY MANY.
00:09:23.70\00:09:26.80
THERE ARE PROBABLY HALF A DOZEN
IN THE WHOLE STATE AND IT IS A
00:09:26.80\00:09:30.33
HUGE STATE. IT IS ONE
OF THE LARGEST IN THE AREA.
00:09:30.33\00:09:32.80
SO IF THERE ARE NO CHURCHES,
WHERE DO THE BELIEVERS WORSHIP?
00:09:32.80\00:09:35.23
THEY WORSHIP IN THE
HOMES OR UNDER THE TREES.
00:09:35.23\00:09:38.23
DID YOU EXPERIENCE
THAT WHILE YOU WERE THERE?
00:09:38.23\00:09:41.50
WE HAD CAMPMEETING AND
THAT WAS OUT UNDER A TENT.
00:09:41.50\00:09:45.66
LET US GO ON WITH YOUR PICTURES.
00:09:45.66\00:09:47.66
THE PREVIOUS PICTURE
HAD THE OFFERING PLATE.
00:09:47.66\00:09:52.50
THEY DO TITHE AS
A SEPARATE OFFERING.
00:09:52.50\00:09:56.00
I THOUGHT THAT
WAS A DINNER PLATE.
00:09:56.00\00:09:57.73
YES, THEY ACTUALLY COME UP TO
THE FRONT INDIVIDUALLY AS THEY
00:09:57.73\00:10:02.26
PAY THEIR TITHE. WE SAW IN SOME
LOCATIONS THAT THEY ACTUALLY
TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS OF YOU WHEN
00:10:02.26\00:10:06.10
YOU PAY YOUR TITHE
AS A SEPARATE OFFERING.
00:10:06.10\00:10:08.60
IN THE NEXT PHOTOGRAPH, YOU WILL
SEE THAT THEY ACTUALLY PAY WITH
00:10:08.60\00:10:18.83
WHAT THEY GROW. IT MAY BE
POTATOES, OR IN THIS CASE, BROWN
RICE AND WHITE RICE.
00:10:18.83\00:10:22.70
THEY GIVE TWO
SEPARATE OFFERINGS.
00:10:22.70\00:10:25.70
YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE HOLDING A
WIDOWS MITE WHEN YOU BEHOLD THAT
00:10:25.70\00:10:31.13
PICTURE. IT WAS A VERY HUMBLING
EXPERIENCE TO SEE THEM DO THEIR
00:10:31.13\00:10:35.36
OFFERINGS. THESE ARE THE GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS THAT ARE
GATHERED TOGETHER TO SPEAK
00:10:35.36\00:10:40.00
WITH BEV, OR HER
TO SPEAK WITH THEM.
00:10:40.00\00:10:44.23
THERE IS NO SEATING,
OTHER THAN THE FLOOR.
00:10:44.23\00:10:46.46
RIGHT!
00:10:46.46\00:10:47.46
THAT IS TYPICAL
OF WHEREVER WE WENT.
00:10:47.46\00:10:49.26
THERE MAY BE SOME SEATING ON THE
SIDES BUT MOST OF THE
CONGREGATION SAT ON
00:10:49.26\00:10:54.53
THE FLOOR.
00:10:54.53\00:10:55.80
THESE LITTLE
BOYS JUST CHARMED ME.
00:10:55.80\00:10:57.30
LOOK AT THE LITTLE BOWS
AND ARROWS THEY HAVE MADE.
00:10:57.30\00:10:59.96
I CAME AROUND THE
CORNER EARLY IN THE MORNING.
00:10:59.96\00:11:02.03
THEY WERE PLAYING WITH THEIR
BOWS AND ARROWS THAT THEY HAD
00:11:02.03\00:11:04.83
MADE. YOU DON'T SEE
TOYS LIKE OUR CHILDREN HAVE.
00:11:04.83\00:11:07.86
THEY HAVE MADE
THEIR OWN TOYS HERE.
00:11:07.86\00:11:10.50
YOU HAVE TO BE CREATIVE.
00:11:10.50\00:11:12.10
YOU HAVE TO IMPROVISE.
00:11:12.10\00:11:13.53
WE TRAVELED BY
JEEP A COUPLE OF HOURS.
00:11:13.53\00:11:15.63
ACTUALLY, IT WAS ONLY
25 MILES AWAY, I THINK.
00:11:15.63\00:11:18.06
IT TOOK US A LONG TIME BY A
CIRCUITUS ROUTE OUT TO SEE THIS
00:11:18.06\00:11:23.20
FARMER, WHO HAD A STORY TO TELL
US ABOUT HOW GOD HAD BLESSED
00:11:23.20\00:11:27.46
HIM. THIS IS PATHALGAON.
00:11:27.46\00:11:30.26
THIS IS WHERE THE STORY HAPPENED
THAT WE ARE GOING TO TELL YOU
00:11:30.26\00:11:35.80
ABOUT. THIS COUPLE HAS A PIECE
OF PROPERTY ON WHICH THEY WERE
GROWING A RICE CROP.
00:11:35.80\00:11:42.13
A BIG STORM WAS COMING IN
AND THEY SAW IT COMING IN.
00:11:42.13\00:11:45.73
THEY WENT TO THE GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKER WHO HAD PRAYED WITH THEM
00:11:45.73\00:11:51.76
BEFORE. THEY ASKED THE WORKER
TO PRAY TO GOD THAT HE WILL SAVE
00:11:51.76\00:11:56.60
THEIR CROP. THE WORKER DID PRAY.
00:11:56.60\00:12:02.03
THEY COULD SEE THAT STORM CAME,
SEPARATED AND JUST RUINED THE
00:12:02.03\00:12:06.50
CROPS ON EITHER
SIDE OF THEIR FIELD.
00:12:06.50\00:12:09.63
THEIR CROP WAS COMPLETELY SAVED.
00:12:09.63\00:12:11.60
IT WAS SUCH A MIRACLE.
00:12:11.60\00:12:13.23
THEY RECOGNIZED IT AS A MIRACLE,
GIVING CREDIT TO THE GOD OF
00:12:13.23\00:12:18.13
CREATION. THEY GAVE
THEIR HEARTS TO GOD.
00:12:18.13\00:12:21.06
IN THIS PICTURE YOU CAN SEE A
CLOCK IN THE LEFT HAND CORNER.
00:12:21.06\00:12:24.80
THE PHOTOGRAPH ON BOTH SIDES IS
OF THIS MAN WHEN HE WAS AN ARMY
00:12:24.80\00:12:29.90
OFFICER. HE HAS RETIRED.
00:12:29.90\00:12:31.90
RIGHT AFTER HE
RETIRED, HE DECIDED TO GIVE
00:12:31.90\00:12:35.73
A PIECE OF PROPERTY SO
A CHURCH COULD BE BUILT.
00:12:35.73\00:12:45.36
THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT HAD
TO GATHER INSIDE HIS TINY LIVING
00:12:45.36\00:12:50.10
ROOM. BECAUSE OF RAIN, EVERYONE
CROWDED INSIDE THE ROOM.
00:12:50.10\00:12:54.23
AFTER IT HAD STOPPED RAINING,
00:12:54.23\00:12:55.96
WE WENT OUTSIDE AND TOOK A
PICTURE OF SOME OF THE GROUP
00:12:55.96\00:12:58.70
THERE. THIS IS ONE OF
THE HOUSE CHURCHES THEN?
00:12:58.70\00:13:02.43
THAT IS THEIR HOME CHURCH.
00:13:02.43\00:13:03.83
IT IS AN
OFFICIALLY ESTABLISHED CHURCH.
00:13:03.83\00:13:05.93
IS IT A PART OF THE CONFERENCE?
00:13:05.93\00:13:07.10
ARE BELIEVERS DETERMINED THAT
THEY WANT TO WORSHIP TOGETHER?
00:13:07.10\00:13:09.93
IT IS A GROUP OF BELIEVERS
DETERMINED TO WORSHIP TOGETHER
00:13:09.93\00:13:13.36
AND BEGGING THE CONFERENCE
TO HAVE EVANGELISM THERE.
00:13:13.36\00:13:17.20
THEY WANT TO HAVE A CHURCH
BUILT ON THE PROPERTY THAT WAS
00:13:17.20\00:13:21.06
DONATED. THERE IS A
MAN WAY BACK IN THE CENTER.
00:13:21.06\00:13:26.26
HE IS ON THE MARKING
SPOT OF THE PROPERTY THERE.
00:13:26.26\00:13:29.30
IT IS A NICE PIECE OF
PROPERTY THAT HE HAS DONATED.
00:13:29.30\00:13:36.46
HE IS HOPING THAT THEY CAN HAVE
A CHURCH BUILT THERE AS SOON AS
THEY HAVE 50 TO 100 MEMBERS.
00:13:36.46\00:13:42.50
THIS MAN IS A FARMER AND DEPENDS
ON THE CROPS THAT HE CAN RAISE
FOR HIS OWN SUPPORT.
00:13:42.50\00:13:56.96
HE IS WILLING TO GIVE A PART OF
THAT PROPERTY THAT WOULD
OTHERWISE PROVIDE HIS SUPPORT,
00:13:56.96\00:14:04.50
TO HELP BUILD THE KINGDOM.
00:14:04.50\00:14:06.70
WHEN THEY CAN'T GIVE ANYTHING
ELSE, MANY TIMES THEY CAN GIVE
00:14:06.70\00:14:17.83
THEIR HERITAGE. I UNDERSTAND
WHAT YOU MEAN, ELAINE, AFTER
SEEING AND HEARING THAT.
00:14:17.83\00:14:23.16
YOU DON'T LOOK AT THINGS HERE
JUST THE SAME ANYMORE, DO YOU?
00:14:23.16\00:14:29.40
WE HAVE SO MUCH
MORE THAN THEY HAVE.
00:14:29.40\00:14:31.90
AND WE ARE SO ACCUSTOM TO IT
THAT WE CAN'T SEE IT, UNLESS WE
00:14:31.90\00:14:37.60
EXPERIENCE THEIR TRUE NEEDS.
00:14:37.60\00:14:38.93
FOR A MOMENT, LET'S
TALK DIRECTLY TO OUR VIEWERS.
00:14:38.93\00:14:43.53
I AM SURE THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE
VIEWING THIS PROGRAM RIGHT NOW
00:14:43.53\00:14:51.60
ARE ALSO IMPRESSED WITH THE
TESTIMONY THAT BEV AND ELAINE
ARE BRINGING TO US.
00:14:51.60\00:14:59.76
ALL OF US NEED TO PAUSE A MOMENT
AND THINK ABOUT WHO AND WHERE WE
00:14:59.76\00:15:05.96
ARE, WHAT WE HAVE
AND WHAT WE DO WITH IT.
00:15:05.96\00:15:09.10
I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU RIGHT
NOW TO BE IN TOUCH WITH GOSPEL
00:15:09.10\00:15:13.73
OUTREACH. LEARN MORE
ABOUT STORIES LIKE THIS ONE.
00:15:13.73\00:15:16.33
YOU CAN DO IT BY HAVING THE
NEWSLETTER, ADVENTURES IN
MISSIONS, COME TO YOUR HOME.
00:15:16.33\00:15:22.73
YOU CAN BE IN TOUCH WITH
GOSPEL OUTREACH IN MANY WAYS.
00:15:38.33\00:15:45.03
WE ALSO REQUEST YOUR PRAYERS
FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH AND YOUR
00:15:45.03\00:15:47.13
BROTHERS AND
SISTERS OUT THERE IN INDIA.
00:15:47.13\00:15:48.90
PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ELAINE
AND BEVERLY HAVE BEEN TELLING US
00:15:48.90\00:15:53.80
ABOUT TODAY. THESE ARE
PEOPLE THEY HAVE MET AND KNOW.
00:15:55.13\00:15:56.93
WHEN YOU PRAY FOR GOSPEL
OUTREACH, ALL THOSE FOLKS WILL
BECOME A PART OF YOUR
00:15:56.93\00:16:02.43
LIVES, TOO.
00:16:02.43\00:16:03.90
THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US
TODAY AND STAY TUNED FOR THE
REST OF THIS STORY.
00:16:03.90\00:16:13.00
ALWAYS WATCH FOR "ADVENTURES IN
MISSIONS" ON TELEVISION BECAUSE
00:16:13.00\00:16:18.23
MORE STORIES LIKE
THIS WILL COME TO YOU.
00:16:18.23\00:16:20.06
LET US GO ON WITH YOUR PICTURES.
00:16:20.06\00:16:23.20
WE ARE IN POLA IN
WEST JHARKHAND NOW.
00:16:23.20\00:16:30.36
THIS CHURCH WAS
BUILT ABOUT A YEAR AGO.
00:16:30.36\00:16:33.96
THIS SCHOOL WAS JUST
BUILT AND IS FINISHED.
00:16:33.96\00:16:39.70
IT IS AN EXCITING
BEGINNING TO A ONE ROOM SCHOOL.
00:16:39.70\00:16:44.40
SINCE THEY ONLY HAVE ONE SCHOOL
ROOM, THEY CAN ONLY TAKE
CHILDREN FROM NURSERY
00:16:44.40\00:16:48.96
AGE TO FIRST GRADE.
00:16:48.96\00:16:50.26
WHEN I WAS THERE, THEY GATHERED
THE CHILDREN TOGETHER AND SHOWED
00:16:50.26\00:16:54.73
US HOW THESE LITTLE KIDS
HAD LEARNED THE ALPHABET.
00:16:54.73\00:16:57.80
THIS TEACHER WAS A NEW
GRADUATE FROM SPICER COLLEGE.
00:16:57.80\00:17:02.13
THE PRESIDENT OF THE SECTION
SAID THEY WERE HIRING HER TO BE
00:17:02.13\00:17:07.36
THIS TEACHER BUT SHE HAD
TO GET YOUR OWN STUDENTS.
00:17:07.36\00:17:09.90
HE SAID YOU HAVE TO GET YOUR OWN
SALARY BY THE STUDENTS THAT YOU
GET INTO THE SCHOOL.
00:17:09.90\00:17:15.30
THIS MAN HAD BEEN OUT DOING
HIS BEST TO DRUM UP BUSINESS.
00:17:15.30\00:17:20.60
THE WAY HE IS ENCOURAGING THEM
00:17:20.60\00:17:22.76
IS THAT IS THEY REGISTER NOW
TO START SCHOOL IN SIX WEEKS.
00:17:22.76\00:17:26.23
THE CHILDREN WOULD HAVE FREE
EDUCATION FOR THIS SIX WEEKS OF
SUMMER SCHOOL TIME.
00:17:26.23\00:17:32.00
SO HE IS TEACHING
ALL OF THESE CHILDREN.
00:17:32.00\00:17:34.40
ALREADY HE HAD 50 STUDENTS
REGISTERED AND HE WAS EXPECTING
100 TO BE ATTENDING.
00:17:34.40\00:17:40.36
WHERE IS HE GOING
TO BUY HIS RICE THEN?
00:17:40.36\00:17:42.40
THE CHILDREN'S PARENTS WILL, IF
HE GETS ENOUGH STUDENTS AND HE
GETS ENOUGH SALARY.
00:17:42.40\00:17:47.46
HE HAS ENOUGH CHILDREN NOW
SO THAT HE HAS TO HAVE A HELPER.
00:17:47.46\00:17:52.20
WHAT VISION!
00:17:52.20\00:17:56.86
NEXT DOOR, THEY HAVE THE
OLDER CHILDREN THAT ARE LEARNING
00:17:56.86\00:18:00.70
ENGLISH. THEY ARE ACTUALLY
CONDUCTING SCHOOL IN THE CHURCH
FOR THE OLDER CHILDREN.
00:18:00.70\00:18:06.80
HERE THEY ARE DOING A SONG FOR
US ENTITLED, "I'M IN THE LORD'S
00:18:06.80\00:18:22.30
ARMY". THEY ARE
LEARNING IN ENGLISH?
00:18:22.30\00:18:26.86
YES.
00:18:26.86\00:18:27.86
ALL HIGHER
EDUCATION IS IN ENGLISH.
00:18:27.86\00:18:31.56
IN THIS TRIBAL REGION, DO THEY
COMMUNICATE IN ENGLISH AT ALL?
00:18:31.56\00:18:39.56
NO!
00:18:39.56\00:18:40.36
BUT AS THEY LEARN,
THEY DO USE ENGLISH.
00:18:40.36\00:18:45.30
THERE ARE NO OTHER SCHOOLS
THAT TEACH ENGLISH IN THE AREA.
00:18:45.30\00:18:47.40
THIS IS A NEW PHENOMENIA.
00:18:47.40\00:18:48.86
PARENTS WANT TO SEND
THEIR CHILDREN TO THIS SCHOOL.
00:18:48.86\00:18:51.13
IS THERE A
GOVERNMENT SCHOOL IN THAT AREA?
00:18:51.13\00:18:54.53
NOT FAR AWAY, THERE IS A SCHOOL.
00:18:54.53\00:18:56.50
THIS LITTLE LADY, THAT YOU SEE
IN THIS PICTURE, WAS THE ONLY
OLD LADY THAT WE SAW THAT DAY.
00:18:56.50\00:19:03.36
SHE CAME ESPECIALLY BECAUSE
SHE HEARD THAT THE PASTOR WAS
00:19:03.36\00:19:06.56
COMING. THEN SHE COULD BE
BAPTIZED, WHILE WE WERE ALL
00:19:06.56\00:19:09.46
THERE. SHE WAS RAISING HER HAND
THERE TO SAY, "YES, I BELIEVE
00:19:09.46\00:19:16.10
THOSE 28 BELIEFS". NOW WE
ARE WALKING TO THE WATER HOLE TO
00:19:16.10\00:19:21.63
BAPTIZE HER. THIS WATER HOLE WAS
ABOUT A TEN MINUTE WALK AWAY.
00:19:21.63\00:19:29.00
HERE SHE IS BEING BAPTIZED.
00:19:29.00\00:19:31.00
THIS LITTLE LADY COULD NOT
STAND UP STRAIGHT, YET SHE WAS
00:19:31.00\00:19:37.53
BAPTIZED. AFTER THEY HAD THE
BAPTISM, THE PASTOR ASKED, "HOW
MANY OF YOU CHILDREN,
00:19:37.53\00:19:42.96
WOULD LIKE TO
FOLLOW THIS LADY'S EXAMPLE
00:19:42.96\00:19:51.63
AND ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS
YOUR SAVIOR FROM YOUR SINS.
00:19:51.63\00:19:54.80
MIND YOU, THESE ARE ALL NEW
CHILDREN IN SCHOOL THAT HAVE NOT
HEARD THE MESSAGE BEFORE.
00:19:54.80\00:20:00.80
THESE ARE THE CHILDREN
THAT HAVE PUT UP THEIR HANDS.
00:20:00.80\00:20:03.86
ALREADY THEY HAVE HAD A
MESSAGE BROUGHT TO THEM.
00:20:03.86\00:20:06.16
WALKING BACK
FROM THE WATER HOLE,
00:20:06.16\00:20:08.66
THE LITTLE LADY IS IN THE
HONORED POSITION TO MARCH BACK
00:20:08.66\00:20:12.53
TO THE SCHOOL. THE DRUMMERS ARE
THERE AND THE PEOPLE ARE SINGING
AND CLAPPING THEIR HANDS,
00:20:12.53\00:20:16.50
PRAISING GOD THAT
ANOTHER SOUL IS SAVED.
00:20:16.50\00:20:19.40
IT IS VERY APPROPRIATE TO
HAVE THIS KIND OF EXPRESSIVE
00:20:19.40\00:20:27.43
CELEBRATION WITH THE DRUM
AND THE CLAPPING OF HANDS?
00:20:27.43\00:20:30.20
YES, THIS IS THEIR CUSTOM.
00:20:30.20\00:20:32.20
HERE WE HAVE THE CHILDREN
IN FRONT OF THE CLASSROOM.
00:20:32.20\00:20:37.26
THAT TEACHER IS A
VERY SPECIAL PERSON.
00:20:37.26\00:20:43.06
HE HAS ALREADY RECRUITED 50 KIDS
TO COME AND REGISTER FOR SCHOOL.
00:20:43.06\00:20:50.96
PLUS, HE HAS BEEN TRYING TO
RECRUIT AT A PLACE 15 KILOMETERS
00:20:50.96\00:20:57.30
AWAY FROM THERE. THE PARENTS SAY
THAT IF YOU HAVE A DORMITORY, WE
WILL SEND OUR CHILDREN THERE.
00:20:57.30\00:21:03.16
THIS IS THE CUSTOM IN INDIA.
00:21:03.16\00:21:06.83
THEY HAVE
DORMITORIES FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN.
00:21:06.83\00:21:09.63
SO THEY ARE REQUESTING
DORMITORIES, TOILETS AND A WELL
WITH A PUMP FOR THE SCHOOL.
00:21:09.63\00:21:17.96
DO WE HAVE DORMITORIES ANYWHERE
AT THESE SCHOOLS ALREADY?
00:21:17.96\00:21:25.86
WE DO HAVE DORMITORIES AND WELLS
AT OTHER SCHOOLS BUT THEY ARE
FAR, FAR AWAY FROM THIS.
00:21:25.86\00:21:32.96
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT 35 TO
50 KILOMETERS TO BE THE CLOSEST
00:21:32.96\00:21:38.53
SCHOOL THAT MIGHT
HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
00:21:38.53\00:21:40.66
IS IT A MAJOR EXPENSE TO PUT A
WELL DOWN AND PUT A HAND PUMP ON
00:21:40.66\00:21:51.93
IT? NO!
00:21:51.93\00:21:53.23
IT MIGHT BE A BIT MORE EXPENSIVE
BECAUSE THE GROUND IS VERY
00:21:53.23\00:21:59.76
STONEY; PERHAPS IT WILL
COST 300 TO 400 DOLLARS.
00:21:59.76\00:22:02.23
IS IT UNCOMMON FOR THEM TO PUT
DOWN A WELL IN THIS PART OF THE
00:22:02.23\00:22:13.83
COUNTRY? THE NEAREST
WELL IS QUITE A WAYS AWAY.
00:22:13.83\00:22:18.30
THE NEXT PICTURE SHOWS GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS PERFORMING
00:22:18.30\00:22:26.46
BAPTISMS. THE NEXT PLACE WE WENT
TO THEY HAD ABOUT 30 PEOPLE THAT
00:22:26.46\00:22:33.66
THEY BAPTISED. WHAT A THRILLING
EXPERIENCE TO SEE THESE PEOPLE
00:22:33.66\00:22:36.76
GO DOWN INTO THE WATERY GRAVE.
00:22:36.76\00:22:39.66
THE GENTLEMAN BAPTIZING,
IS HE THE LOCAL PASTOR THERE?
00:22:39.66\00:22:43.20
YES.
00:22:43.20\00:22:44.70
THAT YOUNG MAN STARTED OUT AS A
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER AND THEN
00:22:44.70\00:22:50.93
BECAME A PASTOR. THIS
WAS HIS FIRST BAPTISM.
00:22:50.93\00:22:53.56
IT WAS SO THRILLING TO SEE THIS.
00:22:53.56\00:22:56.30
HERE HE IS WITH ALL OF
THOSE WONDERFUL CANDIDATES FOR
00:22:56.30\00:23:00.96
BAPTISM. HE HAS WORKED WITH
ALL OF THESE FOLKS IN PREPARING
00:23:00.96\00:23:05.36
THEM? OTHER GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS HAVE ALSO STUDIED WITH
00:23:05.36\00:23:11.10
THEM. AFTER THE BAPTISM,
THEY HAD A CONGRATULATIONS LINE.
00:23:11.10\00:23:14.96
THEY DECORATED EVERYONE WITH
GARLANDS AND GAVE THEM A BIBLE.
00:23:14.96\00:23:19.23
IT IS A THRILLING EXPERIENCE
JUST TO SEE THE WELCOME THEY
00:23:19.23\00:23:26.10
GIVE TO THE
PEOPLE THAT ARE BAPTISED.
00:23:26.10\00:23:27.83
AFTERWARDS, THERE IS A FEAST.
00:23:27.83\00:23:30.26
THEY HAVE ALREADY COOKED ALL
OF THIS RICE, DHAL AND CURRY.
00:23:30.26\00:23:34.13
PEOPLE LINE UP WITH
THEIR PLATES TO GET THEIR FOOD.
00:23:34.13\00:23:37.73
LOOK AT THE
SIZE OF THOSE PLATES!
00:23:37.73\00:23:40.10
THEY PROBABLY EAT ONLY
ONE MEAL A DAY AND THIS IS IT.
00:23:40.10\00:23:45.23
I WOULD FILL UP LIKE THIS ALSO.
00:23:45.23\00:23:48.40
YOU SEE THE SERVING UTENSILS IN
THE PASTOR'S OR GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:23:48.40\00:23:52.76
WORKER'S HANDS.
00:23:52.76\00:23:54.06
LOOK AT THAT!
00:23:54.06\00:23:56.10
NOW WHAT IS HE PUTTING ON THERE?
00:23:56.10\00:23:57.93
IT IS CHOPPED ONIONS AND
TOMATOES; THAT IS LIKE A LITTLE
00:23:57.93\00:24:00.30
SALAD. THEY ARE EATING
WITH THEIR HANDS AND SQUATTING.
00:24:00.30\00:24:06.20
THEY ARE VERY
COMFORTABLE IN THAT POSITION.
00:24:06.20\00:24:08.36
IT WASN'T VERY COMFORTABLE
FOR US, BUT THEY WERE VERY
00:24:08.36\00:24:12.30
COMFORTABLE IN IT. THIS IS A
WONDERFUL FESTIVITY IN
CELEBRATION OF THE BAPTISM.
00:24:12.30\00:24:19.43
WE SAW THIS TYPE OF CELEBRATION
WHENEVER WE ATTENDED A BAPTISM.
00:24:19.43\00:24:25.30
THEY WANT TO CELEBRATE THE GOOD
NEWS THAT THEY HAVE GIVEN THEIR
00:24:25.30\00:24:30.60
HEART TO JESUS. THIS IS A
WONDERFUL ILLUSTRATION AND MODEL
FOR THOSE OF US IN THE WEST.
00:24:30.60\00:24:38.60
I AM SURE, ELAINE, YOU ARE
ANXIOUS TO GO AGAIN BUT ARE JUST
00:24:38.60\00:24:53.50
WAITING TO GET
YOUR SCHEDULE ARRANGED?
00:24:53.50\00:24:55.30
YES!
00:24:55.30\00:24:57.30
THAT WOULD
PROBABLY BE A GOOD IDEA.
00:24:57.30\00:24:59.23
DO YOU HELP WITH
SABBATH SCHOOL HERE AT HOME?
00:24:59.23\00:25:05.56
I ACTUALLY AM GOING TO
PREACH HERE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
00:25:05.56\00:25:12.13
BEV HAD ME DO A
LITTLE PREACHING OVER THERE.
00:25:12.13\00:25:14.36
NOW I AM GOING TO DO A
SHORT PROGRAM FOR OUR CHURCH.
00:25:14.36\00:25:16.86
YOU HAVE GOT A RESOURCE OF YOUR
OWN MISSION STORIES TO INCLUDE.
00:25:16.86\00:25:23.30
YOU WILL GET EXCITED AS
YOU TELL THEM, I'M SURE.
00:25:23.30\00:25:26.66
WHEN ARE YOU GOING BACK
TO YOUR REGION, BEVERLY?
00:25:26.66\00:25:32.76
THAT IS A BAD QUESTION TO ASK ME
WHEN I HAVE ONLY BEEN BACK THREE
00:25:32.76\00:25:36.73
WEEKS. WE ARE TAPING
THIS IN LATE SPRING OF 2011.
00:25:36.73\00:25:42.53
WILL YOU GO AGAIN
THIS YEAR OR WHEN?
00:25:42.53\00:25:44.30
NO, I WILL WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR.
00:25:44.30\00:25:46.53
GOSPEL OUTREACH REGIONAL
DIRESTORS USUALLY GO TO THEIR
00:25:46.53\00:25:51.06
FIELD ONCE A YEAR. I HAVE GONE
MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN I HAVE
TAKEN GROUPS OF YOUTH TO
00:25:51.06\00:25:55.43
AN AREA TO DO EVANGELISM.
00:25:55.43\00:25:58.00
WHEN I GO AS A REGIONAL
DIRECTOR, I GO BUT ONCE A YEAR.
00:25:58.00\00:26:02.20
I LIKE TO HAVE PEOPLE LIKE
ELAINE OR ANYONE, WHO ARE ABLE
TO GET TIME OFF FROM
00:26:02.20\00:26:10.70
WORK TO EXPERIENCE SOME OF
THE EXPERIENCES THAT I HAVE.
00:26:10.70\00:26:14.96
I FEEL LIKE IT
CHANGES THEM ALSO.
00:26:14.96\00:26:20.23
IT OPENS THE DOOR FOR THEM TO
TELL OTHERS WHAT IS HAPPENING AT
00:26:20.23\00:26:29.16
GOSPEL OUTREACH. ONCE YOU ARE
CONNECTED TO GOSPEL OUTREACH,
00:26:29.16\00:26:31.53
YOU HAVE A STORY TO
TELL AND YOU WANT TO TELL IT.
00:26:31.53\00:26:34.36
THANK YOU, BEVERLY.
00:26:34.36\00:26:36.86
THANK YOU, ELAINE FOR BEING
HERE AND TELLING GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:26:36.86\00:26:40.03
STORIES. THANK YOU FOR BEING
A PART OF THE GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:26:40.03\00:26:43.56
FAMILY. WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU
TO BE WITH US EACH TIME WE TELL
