OPENING MUSIC.
00:00:01.86\00:00:23.90
HELLO EVERYBODY.
00:00:23.90\00:00:25.96
WELCOME TO
"ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS".
00:00:25.96\00:00:28.06
THIS PROGRAM IS ALL ABOUT GOSPEL
OUTREACH AND THE STORIES OF
00:00:28.06\00:00:33.70
PEOPLE. THESE PEOPLE ARE OUT
ON THE FRONT LINES TELLING FOLKS
00:00:33.70\00:00:38.76
WHO JESUS IS AND
WHAT HE IS REALLY LIKE.
00:00:38.76\00:00:40.46
WELCOME GERSON PIRES DE ARAUJO .
00:00:40.46\00:01:01.26
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
00:01:01.26\00:01:02.96
I AM SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE.
00:01:02.96\00:01:04.93
YOU COME TO US FROM BRAZIL.
00:01:04.93\00:01:07.90
THAT IS YOUR HOME
TERRITORY, ISN'T IT?
00:01:07.90\00:01:10.63
YES!
00:01:10.63\00:01:11.30
YOU ARE A LIFELONG MISSIONARY.
00:01:11.30\00:01:14.63
THAT'S ALMOST RIGHT.
00:01:14.63\00:01:15.90
I FIRST WORKED FOR
52 YEARS IN OUR WORK.
00:01:15.90\00:01:20.06
THEN IN 2008, I RETIRED
AND A NEW LIFE STARTED FOR ME.
00:01:20.06\00:01:27.90
THE UNION PRESIDENT IN BRAZIL
CALLED ME INTO HIS OFFICE AND
INVITED TO GO TO MOZAMBIQUE.
00:01:27.90\00:01:36.33
HE ALREADY HAD SIX
WORKERS IN THE 10/40 WINDOW.
00:01:36.33\00:01:54.60
THEN HE LOOKED AT ME AND SAID,
"TWO OF THEM ARE YOUR CHILDREN".
00:01:54.60\00:02:01.96
WHAT A THRILL!
00:02:01.96\00:02:03.96
DO THEY SPEAK
PORTUGUESE IN MOZAMBIQUE ?
00:02:03.96\00:02:10.30
YES, THEY DO!
00:02:10.30\00:02:13.50
HAS MOZAMBIQUE BEEN KIND
OF A NATURAL MISSION FIELD FOR
00:02:13.50\00:02:18.46
BRAZIL? NOT FOR A
LONG TIME, BUT NOW, YES.
00:02:18.46\00:02:24.96
IT IS BECAUSE THE VICE PRESIDENT
IN MOZAMBIQUE IS A BRAZILIAN.
00:02:24.96\00:02:31.33
BEFORE THAT, MY SECOND SON WAS
ALREADY WORKING IN AFRICA FOR 26
00:02:31.33\00:02:42.76
YEARS. HE WAS THE PRESIDENT
OF BURKINA-FASO MISSION.
00:02:42.76\00:02:48.66
WHEN HE FIRST CAME TO
BURKINA-FASO , THEY HAD ONLY 200
00:02:48.66\00:02:56.30
CHURCH MEMBERS. BURKINA-FASO IS
A COUNTRY WHERE OVER 50 PER CENT
OF THE POPULATION IS MUSLIM.
00:02:56.30\00:03:03.50
IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO
PREACH THE GOSPEL THERE.
00:03:03.50\00:03:08.63
WITH THE SUPPORT OF GOSPEL
OUTREACH, THE MEMBERSHIP GREW TO
00:03:08.63\00:03:19.00
2500 MEMBERS! PRAISE THE LORD!
00:03:19.00\00:03:20.23
IT WAS A GREAT
INCREASE IN OUR CHURCH.
00:03:20.23\00:03:25.10
THEN HE MOVED TO TOGO WHERE HE
ALSO RECEIVED THE HELP OF GOSPEL
00:03:25.10\00:03:32.40
OUTREACH. NEXT, HE WAS INVITED
TO GO TO SOUTH AFRICA AND THE
INDIAN OCEAN DIVISION.
00:03:32.40\00:03:44.16
HE WORKED FOR SEVERAL YEARS IN
ZIMBABWE, WHILE THE HEADQUARTERS
00:03:44.16\00:03:51.06
WAS LOCATED. LATER,
THEY MOVED TO SOUTH AFRICA.
00:03:51.06\00:03:53.26
I WAS INVITED TO
GO TO MOZAMBIQUE.
00:03:53.26\00:03:59.40
THEN IN 2009 AT
MOZAMBIQUE, THEY HAD A PROBLEM.
00:03:59.40\00:04:06.03
THEY HAD HAD 17
YEARS OF CIVIL WAR.
00:04:06.03\00:04:09.63
WE COULDN'T PREPARE WORKERS.
00:04:09.63\00:04:12.16
OUR PASTORS ONLY HAD A
SECONDARY LEVEL EDUCATION.
00:04:12.16\00:04:18.00
THE DIVISION INITIATED A PLAN
FOR THE PASTORS TO COME DOWN TO
00:04:18.00\00:04:27.80
THE SEMINARY EVERY YEAR FOR TWO
MONTHS FOR ADDITIONAL TRAINING.
00:04:27.80\00:04:30.30
THOSE WORKERS ARE A
PART OF WHAT DIVISION?
00:04:30.30\00:04:33.43
THEY ARE FROM THE SOUTH
AFRICA-INDIAN OCEAN DIVISION.
00:04:33.43\00:04:36.40
HOW MANY PASTORS
ARE THERE IN MOZAMBIQUE?
00:04:36.40\00:04:40.86
WE HAD IN OUR CLASSES
ABOUT 32 OR 33 PASTORS.
00:04:40.86\00:04:49.40
NOT ALL OF THEM WERE
THERE AT THE SAME TIME.
00:04:49.40\00:05:05.90
WE SPENT A MONTH TEACHING
SEVERAL SUBJECTS TO PREPARE THEM
TO DO A BETTER WORK.
00:05:05.90\00:05:10.10
IT SADDENS ME THAT THEY
RECEIVE SUCH A LOW SALARY.
00:05:10.10\00:05:14.06
THE SALARY IS FROM 80
TO 100 DOLLARS A MONTH.
00:05:14.06\00:05:19.93
HOW DOES THAT COMPARE WITH THE
LOCAL ECONOMY OF WAGE EARNERS?
00:05:19.93\00:05:28.73
IT IS NOT SO BAD;
IT IS A COMMON SALARY.
00:05:28.73\00:05:35.76
MOZAMBIQUE IS ONE OF THE FIVE
POOREST COUNTRIES IN AFRICA AS A
00:05:35.76\00:05:44.06
RESULT OF THE WAR AND SO FORTH.
00:05:44.06\00:05:46.53
I'M GOING TO
INTERRUPT A LITTLE GERSON.
00:05:46.53\00:05:50.43
AS YOU WERE TELLING
ME ABOUT YOUR SECOND SON,
00:05:50.43\00:05:56.83
I COULD HEAR IN YOUR VOICE AND
SEE ON YOUR FACE THE PRIDE YOU
HAVE IN THE WORK HE HAS BEEN
00:05:56.83\00:06:04.10
DOING. I WAS GOING
TO KID YOU A LITTLE.
00:06:04.10\00:06:10.33
I WAS GOING TO LOOK CLOSE TO SEE
IF YOU HAD ANY BUTTONS ON YOUR
00:06:10.33\00:06:14.56
SHIRT. IN ENGLISH WE TALK ABOUT
BUSTING OUR BUTTONS WITH PRIDE
AND YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT,
00:06:14.56\00:06:26.93
DIVINELY AND JUSTIFIABLY,
TO BE PROUD OF YOUR SONS.
00:06:26.93\00:06:30.10
GOD HAS BLESSED ME WITH MY SONS.
00:06:30.10\00:06:37.30
ALSO, YOU HAVE MADE REFERENCE
THAT EARLIER ON, TOGO FOR
00:06:37.30\00:06:45.86
INSTANCE, YOUR SON WAS SUPPORTED
IN CERTAIN WAYS IN THE WORK BY
00:06:45.86\00:06:54.00
GOSPEL OUTREACH. HAD YOU KNOWN
ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH BEFORE
00:06:54.00\00:06:59.46
THAT CONNECTION? NO. WHEN I
FIRST WENT TO BURKINA-FASO WHERE
00:06:59.46\00:07:20.53
HE WAS WORKING, HE DROVE ME INTO
THE INTERIOR TO SEE SOME WORK
00:07:20.53\00:07:30.36
BEING DONE. THAT WAS WHEN
I FIRST HEARD ABOUT GOSPEL
00:07:30.36\00:07:35.83
OUTREACH. THIS IS SO THRILLING.
00:07:35.83\00:07:38.50
SOME YEARS AGO YOU WERE
INTRODUCED TO GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:07:38.50\00:07:45.33
AND WERE PROBABLY ASKING
QUESTIONS AND WONDERING ABOUT
HOW IT ALL OPERATED, ETC.
00:07:45.33\00:07:51.03
AND NOW I GET TO SIT WITH YOU
HERE ON THE VIDEO SET OF GOSPEL
OUTREACH IN COLLEGE PLACE,
00:07:51.03\00:08:00.73
WASHINGTON. AT THIS TIME, LET ME
ASK OUR VIEWERS TO PLEASE BE IN
TOUCH WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:08:00.73\00:08:07.93
YOU ARE A PART OF THE GOSPEL
OUTREACH FAMILY AS THIS PASTOR
00:08:07.93\00:08:13.16
IS NOW. WE WANT YOU TO WRITE TO
US, TELEPHONE OR SEND AN EMAIL
00:08:13.16\00:08:14.30
REQUEST. AT LEAST HAVE THE
NEWSLETTER COMING INTO YOUR HOME
00:08:14.30\00:08:19.20
SO YOU CAN BE UP TO DATE ABOUT
WHAT IS HAPPENING AT GOSPEL
00:08:19.20\00:08:30.03
OUTREACH. A VOLUNTEER WILL
ANSWER THE TELEPHONE WHEN YOU
CALL OR RESPOND TO YOUR MAIL.
00:08:46.56\00:08:52.66
THIS IS AN ORGANIZATION
COMPLETELY OPERATED BY
00:08:52.66\00:09:02.00
VOLUNTEERS. THE DONATIONS GO TO
SUPPORT WORKERS IN PLACES LIKE
00:09:02.00\00:09:08.73
TOGO . YOU MENTIONED MOZAMBIQUE
AND THAT THE WORKERS ARE NOT
COMPENSATED AS WELL AS
00:09:08.73\00:09:13.80
THEY MAY NEED TO
BE TO DO THEIR WORK.
00:09:13.80\00:09:20.20
LET ME TELL YOU FOLKS THAT IT
IS YOUR SUPPORT THAT MAY MAKE IT
00:09:20.20\00:09:24.23
POSSIBLE FOR US TO IMPROVE THE
SUPPORT OF THESE WORKERS OUT ON
00:09:24.23\00:09:28.00
THE FRONT LINE. THERE IS THE
ADDRESS AND EVERYTHING YOU NEED
TO KNOW TO BE IN TOUCH.
00:09:28.00\00:09:31.60
ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE,
DON'T FORGET TO PRAY FOR GOSPEL
00:09:31.60\00:09:38.70
OUTREACH AND FOR ALL OF THE
WORKERS WHO ARE NOW IN MISSION
00:09:38.70\00:09:46.10
SERVICE. TELL ME
ABOUT YOUR SECOND SON.
00:09:46.10\00:09:49.66
HE IS A PHYSICIAN?
00:09:49.66\00:09:50.73
YES, HE IS A SURGEON.
00:09:50.73\00:09:52.33
HE WAS WORKING
FIRST IN TANZANIA.
00:09:52.33\00:09:55.46
NOW HE IS A SURGEON IN
BLANTYRE HOSPITAL IN MALAWI .
00:09:55.46\00:10:01.16
HE IS HAVING
GOOD EXPERIENCES, TOO.
00:10:01.16\00:10:04.83
I  WAS TEACHING IN MOZAMBIQU E
WHEN I GOT IN TOUCH WITH GOSPEL
00:10:04.83\00:10:20.16
OUTREACH. THERE ARE SOME
PICTURES I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW
00:10:20.16\00:10:24.53
ABOUT MOZAMBIQUE.
LET'S DO THAT RIGHT NOW.
00:10:24.53\00:10:26.13
YOU CAN SEE SOME WORKERS
IN FRONT OF OUR HEADQUARTER'S
00:10:26.13\00:10:39.03
BUILDING. MOZAMBIQUE
IS JUST SOUTH OF TANZANIA?
00:10:39.03\00:10:41.56
IT IS ALMOST ON THE
EASTERN OCEAN THERE.
00:10:41.56\00:10:47.80
YES, THAT'S IT!
00:10:47.80\00:10:49.03
THIS A PROJECT
OF GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:10:49.03\00:10:56.96
THIS IS A PLACE INLAND WHERE YOU
CAN SEE HOW BEHIND THE CHURCH
00:10:56.96\00:11:07.13
IS. IT IS ALL OPEN
WITH JUST A THATCH ROOF.
00:11:07.13\00:11:12.46
THEY ARE WORSHIPPING UNDER THE
TREE BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE A
00:11:12.46\00:11:20.76
CHURCH YET. IN SOME PLACES,
THEY SOMETIMES CAN MAKE A LITTLE
00:11:20.76\00:11:29.26
WALL. YOU CAN SEE THE
CHURCH FAMILY UNDER THE TREE.
00:11:29.26\00:11:36.03
THEY CAN SIT AND
LISTEN TO THE MESSAGE.
00:11:36.03\00:11:40.16
THE CHURCH IS THE COMMUNITY OF
BELIEVERS AND NOT THE BUILDINGS.
00:11:40.16\00:11:47.66
THAT IS RIGHT!
00:11:47.66\00:11:48.90
THERE IS AN URGE IN THE
HUMAN SOUL TO WORSHIP GOD.
00:11:48.90\00:11:53.63
IT CAN BE DONE ANYWHERE.
00:11:53.63\00:11:55.80
ONE BIG PROBLEM
IS LACK OF WATER.
00:11:55.80\00:12:10.46
SOMETIMES THEY MUST DIG A WELL.
00:12:10.46\00:12:16.76
PEOPLE COME DOWN TO GET WATER.
00:12:16.76\00:12:20.36
THE WELL, AS IN THE BIBLE
STORY OF THE WOMAN AT THE WELL,
00:12:20.36\00:12:27.03
IS WHERE THEY
GATHER TO GET WATER.
00:12:27.03\00:12:29.80
IN MANY PLACES IT IS LIKE THAT.
00:12:29.80\00:12:38.33
HERE YOU CAN SEE A LITTLE
CHURCH BUILT BY MARANATHA.
00:12:38.33\00:12:42.86
THERE ARE JUST FINISHING THE
BUILDING OF 700 CHURCHES AROUND
00:12:42.86\00:12:50.66
THE COUNTRY. THERE ARE
700 CHURCHES IN MOZAMBIQUE?
00:12:50.66\00:12:54.03
YES.
00:12:54.03\00:12:55.06
THIS IS A "ONE DAY"
CHURCH THAT THEY BUILT IN A DAY.
00:12:55.06\00:13:00.66
THEY BUILT THAT
CHURCH IN ONE DAY?
00:13:00.66\00:13:02.63
I HAVE HEARD ABOUT THAT.
00:13:02.63\00:13:04.73
WHAT IS THE ADDITION OF 700
CHURCHES GOING TO DO TO THE WORK
00:13:04.73\00:13:19.10
IN MOZAMBIQUE? IN A COUNTRY
LIKE THAT, WHEN YOU HAVE 700
00:13:19.10\00:13:25.33
CHURCHES, IT IS EASY
TO FILL THESE CHURCHES.
00:13:25.33\00:13:30.03
THE BIGGEST NEED IS FOR PEOPLE
THAT CAN STAY THERE AND BE THE
00:13:30.03\00:13:38.26
LEADERS. THAT IS REASON THAT
GOSPEL OUTREACH RUNS THESE
CLASSES FOR PASTORS.
00:13:38.26\00:13:48.90
THEY ARE TRAINED TO KNOW
HOW TO CARE FOR THESE CHURCHES.
00:13:48.90\00:13:54.76
WE SEE MORE OF THE
"ONE DAY" CHURCHES.
00:13:54.76\00:14:06.13
THESE CHURCHES ONLY
HAVE A FRAME PLUS THE ROOF.
00:14:06.13\00:14:16.43
THE MEMBERS MUST
PUT UP THE WALLS.
00:14:16.43\00:14:18.40
ARE THE TEMPERATURES WARM ENOUGH
SO THAT THEY DON'T NEED TO HAVE
00:14:18.40\00:14:28.16
IT CLOSED IN? YES,
IT IS NICE ALL YEAR.
00:14:28.16\00:14:34.13
THIS IS THE HOME OF
THE MOZAMBIQUE PASTOR.
00:14:34.13\00:14:37.36
WOULD YOU LIKE
TO SEE THE KITCHEN?
00:14:37.36\00:14:39.46
SURE!
00:14:39.46\00:14:40.40
THAT'S THE KITCHEN
WHERE THEY COOK THEIR MEALS.
00:14:40.40\00:14:48.00
THE BUSH CHURCHES
ARE FAR FROM CITIES.
00:14:48.00\00:15:02.93
AT THE VILLAGE CHURCHES, MANY
PEOPLE COME TOGETHER TO WORSHIP.
00:15:02.93\00:15:10.36
EVEN IF THERE ARE FEW PEOPLE OR
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE, THEY ARE SO
00:15:10.36\00:15:39.00
ANXIOUS TO HEAR THE
GOSPEL THAT EVERYONE IS QUIET.
00:15:39.00\00:15:48.26
IT IS WONDERFUL!
00:15:48.26\00:15:49.80
IT IS DIFFERENT IN
SOME CHURCHES IN BRAZIL.
00:15:49.80\00:15:52.40
THEY TALK TOO MUCH.
00:15:52.40\00:15:53.80
IN AFRICA, THE PEOPLE
ARE VERY, VERY SILENT.
00:15:53.80\00:16:02.80
WHO IS PREACHING THERE?
00:16:02.80\00:16:04.63
THE UNION VICE
PRESIDENT; HE IS A BRAZILIAN.
00:16:04.63\00:16:09.96
WHAT IS THAT
HANGING FROM THE CEILING?
00:16:09.96\00:16:25.56
THEY USED COLORED
PAPER FOR DECORATING.
00:16:25.56\00:16:32.96
THEY WANTED TO MAKE IT
AS SPECIAL AS THEY COULD.
00:16:32.96\00:16:38.83
THIS IS THE VILLAGE SHOPPING
CENTER WHERE THEY COME TO BUY
00:16:38.83\00:16:47.63
AND SELL THINGS BUT MAINLY FOOD.
00:16:47.63\00:16:50.30
DO THEY DO A LOT OF BARTERING
OR TRADING IN A VILLAGE SHOPPING
00:16:50.30\00:16:56.23
CENTER? YES!
00:16:56.23\00:16:57.73
SOMETIMES WE SAY THAT EVERYONE
IS SELLING; WHO IS BUYING?
00:16:57.73\00:17:04.70
THERE IS THE PASTOR'S WIFE.
00:17:04.70\00:17:10.66
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT
TO USE MOSQUITO NETTING.
00:17:10.66\00:17:16.86
MALARIA IS A REAL PROBLEM THERE,
ALSO POVERTY, AIDS AND MANY
DIFFERENT DISEASES.
00:17:16.86\00:17:26.53
HERE IS OUR ADVENTIST SCHOOL.
00:17:26.53\00:17:29.56
I TAUGHT PHILOSOPHY
OF EDUCATION, PSYCHOLOGY
00:17:29.56\00:17:34.40
AND THE PRINCIPLES OF
HEALTH AT THIS SCHOOL.
00:17:34.40\00:17:54.60
YOU ARE A PASTOR, ALSO?
00:17:54.60\00:17:56.03
YES, BUT I TAUGHT FOR 48 YEARS.
00:17:56.03\00:18:00.33
AFTER FOUR YEARS IN THE
MINISTRY, I WAS ASKED TO GO INTO
THE EDUCATION FIELD.
00:18:00.33\00:18:09.70
IN NORTH BRAZIL, THERE
WERE NO SECONDARY SCHOOLS.
00:18:09.70\00:18:17.30
IT WAS DIFFICULT TO SEND YOUNG
PEOPLE TO BOARDING SCHOOLS.
00:18:17.30\00:18:21.00
AT THAT TIME, NO ONE HAD
HEARD ABOUT DAY ACADEMIES.
00:18:21.00\00:18:25.76
I HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO FOUND
THE FIRST DAY ACADEMY IN BRAZIL.
00:18:25.76\00:18:31.06
THIS ACADEMY NOW HAS THE
LARGEST ENROLLMENT IN BRAZIL.
00:18:31.06\00:18:40.03
HOW MANY STUDENTS ARE THERE?
00:18:40.03\00:18:41.43
THEY REACHED AN
ENROLLMENT OF 2800 STUDENTS.
00:18:41.43\00:18:44.53
DUE TO ECONOMIC REASONS,
THERE ARE ABOUT 2300 STUDENTS
00:18:44.53\00:18:56.26
ATTENDING. STUDENTS FROM
THE ACADEMY ARE ENTERING OUR
00:18:56.26\00:19:15.26
THEOLOGY PROGRAM. THE THEOLOGY
SCHOOLS STARTED JUST THIS YEAR
00:19:15.26\00:19:18.63
IN BRAZIL, TOO. WE HAVE THREE
THEOLOGY PROGRAMS, ONE IN THE
SOUTHEAST, THE NORTHEAST,
00:19:18.63\00:19:24.40
AND ONE IN THE NORTH.
00:19:24.40\00:19:26.16
PASTOR, WE ARE
GOING TO HAVE TO HURRY ON.
00:19:26.16\00:19:37.66
I DON'T WANT TO MISS OUT ON THE
EXCITING STORY THAT YOU HAVE TO
00:19:37.66\00:19:45.23
TELL ABOUT THE
MIRACLE FROM HEAVEN.
00:19:45.23\00:19:47.06
IS THIS THE
CLASSROOM WHERE YOU TAUGHT?
00:19:47.06\00:19:54.43
WE WENT TO TEACH IN ANGOLA. THE
UNION PRESIDENT TOLD US THAT
THEY STILL HAD MANNA.
00:19:54.43\00:20:00.13
MY WIFE SAID SHE
WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT.
00:20:00.13\00:20:20.80
HE SAID IT FALLS DOWN
ON WEDNESDAYS AND FRIDAYS.
00:20:20.80\00:20:37.30
SINCE I WAS WORKING, HE TOOK
US THERE ON A SUNDAY MORNING.
00:20:37.30\00:20:43.33
WHEN WE ARRIVED AT THAT MISSION,
HE TOOK US TO SEE THE PLACE
WHERE MANNA STILL FALLS.
00:20:43.33\00:20:50.26
IN 1939, WHEN THE WAR STARTED,
THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO
00:20:50.26\00:20:58.00
EAT. THEY HAD A PRAYER MEETING
ASKING THE LORD TO PROVIDE
00:20:58.00\00:21:05.33
SOMETHING TO EAT. AT THE END OF
THE MEETING, THE PRINCIPAL'S
DAUGHTER CAME WITH SOMETHING
00:21:05.33\00:21:12.16
WHITE IN HER HANDS
THAT SHE WAS EATING.
00:21:12.16\00:21:14.43
THE MOTHER ASKED,
"WHAT ARE YOU EATING?"
00:21:14.43\00:21:17.10
AND SHE SAID THIS IS MANNA.
00:21:17.10\00:21:19.03
HOW DO YOUKNOW THIS IS MANNA?
00:21:19.03\00:21:21.10
MEN IN WHITE CLOTHES SAID THAT
GOD HEARD OUR PRAYERS AND NOW I
SHOULD EAT THIS MANNA.
00:21:21.10\00:21:32.03
THEN THEY WENT OUT AND PICKED
SOME MANNA FROM THE GROUND AND
00:21:32.03\00:21:41.33
ATE IT. FOR SOMETIME,
THEY HAD MANNA TO EAT.
00:21:41.33\00:21:45.53
THIS STARTED IN 1939?
00:21:45.53\00:21:47.53
YES!
00:21:47.53\00:21:48.80
THEN THEY DIDN'T NEED ANYMORE
MANNA, BECAUSE THEY PLANTED,
00:21:48.80\00:21:54.00
RAIN CAME AND THEY
WERE ABLE TO GROW FOOD.
00:21:54.00\00:22:00.33
AND STILL TODAY THEY
CAN FIND SOME MANNA THERE.
00:22:00.33\00:22:03.96
I THINK GOD WANTS TO TELL US
THAT HE IS THE REAL GOD THAT CAN
STILL PROVIDE FOR US TODAY.
00:22:03.96\00:22:11.80
DO YOU HAVE SOME
PICTURES OF THIS?
00:22:11.80\00:22:13.53
YES!
00:22:13.53\00:22:14.23
I AM JUST PICKING UP SOME MANNA.
00:22:14.23\00:22:19.40
IT IS THE SMALL WHITE PIECES
FROM THE GROUND THAT I HAVE IN
00:22:19.40\00:22:29.63
MY HAND. IT LOOKS
LIKE POPCORN, IN A WAY.
00:22:29.63\00:22:35.16
IS IT FALLING AT THIS TIME
BECAUSE OF A FOOD SHORTAGE?
00:22:35.16\00:22:41.93
NO!
00:22:41.93\00:22:43.36
THEY PLANTED POTATOES, BEANS
AND ALL KINDS OF THINGS, SO THEY
00:22:43.36\00:22:52.23
DON'T NEED IT. WE KNOW THAT GOD
CAN PROVIDE EVEN WHEN WE DO NOT
HAVE ANYTHING TO EAT.
00:22:52.23\00:23:00.20
DID YOU TASTE IT?
00:23:00.20\00:23:02.46
SURE!
00:23:02.46\00:23:03.63
ITS TASTES IS LIKE HONEY
BREAD, AS THE BIBLE SAYS.
00:23:03.63\00:23:13.70
HAS ANYONE TESTED THE
NUTRITIONAL CONTENT OF IT?
00:23:13.70\00:23:19.83
I LEFT A SAMPLE OF IT IN THE
BEST LABORTORY AT THE UNIVERSITY
00:23:19.83\00:23:28.06
IN BRAZIL. I AM NOW
WAITING FOR THE ANALYSIS.
00:23:28.06\00:23:32.16
THAT IS A THRILLING STORY.
00:23:32.16\00:23:48.76
TELL US WHAT IS HAPPENING
IN NORTHEASTERN BRAZIL.
00:23:48.76\00:23:55.30
WHEN THEY FIRST HEARD
ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS IN
00:23:55.30\00:24:06.66
BRAZIL, THE NORTHEAST UNION
PRESIDENT SHOWED INTEREST IN IT.
00:24:06.66\00:24:08.80
THERE ARE 650 CITIES
WITH NO ADVENTIST CHURCHES.
00:24:08.80\00:24:16.90
@
00:24:16.90\00:24:23.30
IN SIX YEARS, THEY ARE PLANNING
TO ESTABLISH A CHURCH THROUGH
00:24:16.90\00:24:23.30
EVANGELISTIC CAMPAIGNS.
00:24:23.30\00:24:25.00
ABOUT TWELVE YEARS AGO, A
RETIRED FELLOW FROM THE
UNIVERSITY THOUGHT HE
00:24:25.00\00:24:48.73
WOULD START A SCHOOL.
00:24:48.73\00:24:51.36
HE STARTED WITH A
COLLEGE LEVEL THEOLOGY PROGRAM.
00:24:51.36\00:24:54.33
NOW HE HAS ABOUT 12 DIFFERENT
UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS.
00:24:54.33\00:25:01.56
IN THAT CITY, THERE ARE ABOUT
3000 UNDERGRADUATES AND 2000
00:25:01.56\00:25:10.10
GRADUATE STUDENTS. THERE IS
ALSO A LONG DISTANCE LEARNING
00:25:10.10\00:25:17.30
PROGRAM. THERE ARE
OVER 30,000 STUDENTS.
00:25:17.30\00:25:21.50
IN 2004, HE STARTED A
PLAN TO PAY FOR TWO WORKERS.
00:25:21.50\00:25:31.70
EACH YEAR, TWO
MORE WORKERS WERE ADDED.
00:25:31.70\00:25:36.10
TODAY HE IS PAYING THE
SALARY OF 64 WORKERS TO WORK
00:25:36.10\00:25:47.33
AND PREACH IN THE CHURCHES
WHERE THEY WERE ESTABLISHED.
00:25:47.33\00:25:52.23
THE GOAL IS RAISE
THAT TO 200 THIS YEAR.
00:25:52.23\00:25:55.33
HE IS A MIRACLE WORKER UNDER
GOD'S MIRACLE WORKING POWER.
00:25:55.33\00:26:10.70
PRAISE GOD!
00:26:10.70\00:26:22.03

00:26:41.13\00:26:50.16
CLOSING MUSIC.
