COULD YOU DESCRIBE FOR US WHAT THAT AREA LOOKS LIKE? 01:51 TRIPURA, WHERE WE ARE GOING TODAY, IS RATHER A WILD PART OF THE COUNTRY. 01:56 IT'S SORT OF OUT BACK IN INDIA. IT ISN'T VERY DEVELOPED THERE. 02:03 THEY HAVE HAD QUITE A LOT OF FIGHTING GOING ON BETWEEN PEOPLE COMING OVER FROM BANGLADESH, OR 02:09 THEY HAVE HAD LOTS OF REFUGEES COMING FROM MIZORAM. 02:13 SO THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF UNREST. 02:16 IT SEEMS TO BE FAIRLY QUIET AT THE MOMENT, AND WE CAN TRAVEL QUITE EASILY RIGHT NOW. 02:23 IS IT MOUNTAINOUS, IS IT FLAT, IS IT DESERT? 02:26 THERE ARE QUITE A FEW MOUNTAINS. THERE ARE LOTS OF TREES, LOTS OF RICE GROWING. 02:33 AROUND EVERY TOWN YOU'LL SEE LOTS OF BRICKYARDS. 02:37 OUR FIRST VIDEO IS GOING TO BE ABOUT THESE BRICKYARDS. 02:43 TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT AND INTRODUCE THE VIDEO FOR US. 02:51 IN AMERICA MOST OF OUR HOUSES ARE WOOD FRAMED HOUSES, 02:57 BUT IN INDIA AND BANGLADESH EVERYTHING IS BRICK. 03:01 THERE ARE LOTS OF BRICKYARDS. 03:06 WORK IS RATHER HARD IN THOSE BRICKYARDS. 03:09 SOME OF THE LABOR THERE BECOMES ALMOST LIKE SLAVE LABOR. 03:13 LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT ONE OF THOSE BRICKYARDS. 03:16 YOU'LL SEE HOW THE BRICKS ARE MADE THEN YOU'LL SEE ABOUT ONE 03:20 OF THE BRICKYARD MANAGERS WHO IS NOW A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER. 03:25 FANTASTIC, LET'S GO THERE. 03:35 FANTASTIC, LET'S GO THERE. 03:54 [VIDEO PLAYING] THEY CAN'T MAKE TOO MANY BRICKS IN INDIA. 03:56 THERE ARE BRICKYARDS EVERYWHERE. 04:00 SURROUNDING EVERY LARGE CITY ARE TALL CHIMNEYS BELCHING SMOKE 04:06 AND BRICKYARDS FULL OF FINISHED DRIED RED BRICKS. 04:11 WHOLE FAMILIES LIVE AND WORK IN THE BRICKYARDS, AND ANIMALS ARE KEPT TO DO SOME OF THE WORK. 04:18 THIS DAY THERE WERE JUST TOO MANY BRICKS ALL BROKEN 04:23 AND READY FOR THE FOUNDATION OF A NEW ROAD SURFACE. 04:26 NO ONE CARED THAT WE HAD TO CLEAR THEM AWAY TO MAKE A PATH TROUGH. 04:32 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER JOGEST SENTAL USED TO BE A BRICKYARD MANAGER. 04:38 ONE DAY SOMEONE CAME TO HIS VILLAGE LOOKING FOR HIM. 04:48 ONE DAY SOMEONE CAME TO HIS VILLAGE LOOKING FOR HIM. 04:53 HE BELONGED TO THE SENTALI TRIBE, ONE OF MANY DIFFERENT INDIAN TRIBES. 05:00 PASTOR STEVEN WAS AN UNSCHOOLED PASTOR WITH THE GIFT OF TONGUES. 05:06 HE IS ALSO A SENTALI, AND HE CAME TO JOGEST'S VILLAGE LOOKING FOR SENTALI PEOPLE. 05:13 HE STAYED FOR AWHILE, TALKED WITH JOGEST AND ORGANIZED SOME EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS. 05:21 HE BELIEVED EVERYTHING THAT HE HEARD. 05:25 AS WE WATCH JOGEST VISITING IN HIS PRESENT PLACE OF WORK, LET ME TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED. 05:33 WHEN HE UNDERSTOOD GOD'S WAY OF SAVING SINNERS AND HOW GOD HAD PROVIDED A SAVIOR HE 05:40 REALIZED HOW MUCH BETTER THAT WAS THAN HAVING TO MAKE ENDLESS SACRIFICES. 05:47 HE FELT THAT A HUGE BURDEN HAD BEEN TAKEN AWAY. 05:53 JOGEST WAS THE FIRST SENTALI IN THEIR VILLAGE TO BE BAPTIZED, 05:58 BUT 11 OTHERS FOLLOWED HIS EXAMPLE. 06:02 AS SOON AS HE WAS CONVERTED, HE STARTED TO FOLLOW PASTOR STEVEN IN HIS WORK. 06:07 HE GAVE UP BEING A BRICK YARD MANAGER AND WAS EMPLOYED AS A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER. 06:13 HE IS NOW WORKING IN THIS VILLAGE OF BRAJO BINO DINIPUR, AND NEAR BY IS A BRICKYARD. 06:22 SO JOGEST KNEW HOW TO APPROACH AKHIL, ONE OF THE BRICKYARD WORKERS. 06:29 AKHIL USED TO GET SICK OFTEN. JOGEST VISITED HIM REGULARLY, 06:35 STUDIED AND PRAYED WITH HIM AND AKHIL WAS BAPTIZED. 06:40 HE BECAME A NEW MAN SPIRITUALLY AND PHYSICALLY. HE MADE A FULL RECOVERY. 06:47 HIS WIFE NEEDED A LITTLE MORE TIME TO MAKE HER DECISION. 06:53 AKHIL WAS FEELING GOOD BUT HIS YOUNG SON WAS NOT. 06:58 HE ALWAYS HAD A HIGH FEVER AND HIS PARENTS WERE ANXIOUS. 07:03 HIS WIFE BROUGHT HIM TO CHURCH AND ASKED JOGEST AND THE CHURCH TO PRAY FOR HIM. 07:10 THEY ASKED GOD TO HEAL THE CHILD AND HE DID. 07:16 THE FEVER JUST LEFT HIM AND DIDN'T RETURN. 07:22 AKHIL'S WIFE IS NOW ALSO PREPARING FOR BAPTISM. 07:28 MAKING BUILDING BRICKS IS HARD WORK, BUT PREPARING HUMAN 07:33 BRICKS FOR GOD'S TEMPLE CAN GET VERY COMPLICATED AT TIMES. SATAN IS ALWAYS ON THE ATTACK. 07:41 RECENTLY EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS HAD TO BE HALTED WHEN A LADY WAS ROBBED, 07:46 RAPED AND KILLED ON HER WAY TO MARKET. 07:48 THE KILLER WAS NOT FOUND, BUT THERE WAS PLENTY OF SUSPICION 07:53 AND RACIAL TENSION CAME TO A BOILING POINT. THE MEETINGS HAD TO STOP. 07:59 PRAY FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS LIKE JOGEST. LET'S HELP SUPPORT HIM. 08:06 LET'S BE PART OF GOD'S BUILDING PROGRAM. 08:09 THERE IS SO MUCH WORK TO BE DONE. 08:16 WE'RE BACK HERE AT "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS" WITH JOHN DUROE. 08:20 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT VIDEO ABOUT THE BRICKYARD MANAGER WHO 08:25 IS NOW WORKING FOR THE LORD. FANTASTIC. 08:29 WHAT AN INTERESTING PLACE AND TO SEE BRICKS MADE LIKE THAT. 08:32 BECAUSE HE HAD HAD THAT EXPERIENCE HE WAS ABLE TO 08:37 WORK WITH THE OTHER BRICKYARD WORKERS. 08:40 HE WILL CONVERT THEM BECAUSE HE KNOWS THEM AND HE CAN SHARE THE LOVE OF THE LORD WITH THEM. 08:50 THERE ARE OTHER AREAS THAT YOU HAVE VISITED, AND YOU HAVE ANOTHER VIDEO FOR US. 08:57 ARE THERE ANY CHURCH SCHOOLS IN THAT AREA? 09:01 YES, WE HAVE A CHURCH SCHOOL, QUITE A NICE SCHOOL. IT'S CALLED THE BLOOM SCHOOL. 09:09 THIS WAS STARTED BY A YOUNG LADY WHO WENT THERE AS A MISSIONARY. 09:15 IT HAS DEVELOPED INTO QUITE A NICE SCHOOL. 09:19 WE'RE GOING TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE FIRST. 09:24 I WAS ON THE ROAD ONE DAY AND SUDDENLY WE WERE SURROUNDED BY THESE MEN IN WHITE. 09:30 THEY WANTED TO SPRAY OUR CAR AND SPRAY EVERYTHING ELSE. LET ME SHOW YOU THE VIDEO. 09:35 OKAY. 09:43 [VIDEO PLAYING] THERE IS A DEADLY DISEASE IN INDIA. 09:46 WE WERE ALARMED ONE DAY WHEN WE WERE APPROACHED BY THE MEN IN WHITE. 09:51 THEY STOPPED OUR CAR AND GAVE IT A GOOD SPRAY UNDERNEATH. 09:55 THEY WERE HELPING TO PREVENT SWINE FLU, BUT OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS IN INDIA ARE 10:02 CONCERNED ABOUT A MUCH MORE DEADLY DISEASE. 10:07 IT'S CALLED "SIN." GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER RUATA 10:10 IS HELPING PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM THE RESULTS OF SIN. 10:16 HE HAS BEEN MARRIED ONE YEAR. THEY LIVE IN A SIMPLE HOUSE. 10:21 THEY HAVE FEW POSSESSIONS, BUT EVERYTHING IS NEAT AND TIDY. 10:26 THEY LIVE ON TOP OF A HILL. 10:28 THE BRIDGE ACROSS THE RIVER IS RATHER PRECARIOUS, BUT THEIR VIEW IS MAGNIFICENT. 10:36 RUATA APPEARED TO HAVE MADE MANY FRIENDS AND EVERYONE WE PASSED KNEW HIM. 10:42 WE STOPPED BY TO VISIT ONE OF THE VILLAGERS WHO HAD BEEN SICK FOR A LONG TIME. 10:48 SHE WAS EXTREMELY DEPRESSED AND HAD DIFFICULTY ROUSING HERSELF, 10:54 BUT RUATA WAS VERY FRIENDLY AND KIND. 10:57 HE ENCOURAGED HER AND PRAYED AND THE PATIENT SAT UP AND GAVE A FAINT SMILE. 11:04 I FOLLOWED RUATA THROUGH THE FIELDS AND ACROSS FLIMSY BRIDGES TO WILKAM'S HOME. 11:11 THIS YOUNG LADY HAD ALSO BEEN VERY SICK FOR A LONG 11:15 TIME WITH UNEXPLAINED FAINTING AND BLACKOUTS. 11:20 AFTER SHE WAS CONVERTED AND STARTED ATTENDING 11:23 CHURCH REGULARLY SHE HAD AN AMAZING RECOVERY. WILKAM IS AN EDUCATED LADY. 11:30 LET ME ALLOW HER TO SHARE SOME OF HER STORY. 11:34 "AFTER COMING HERE WHEN I REPENT MYSELF THEN MY SICKNESS ALSO GONE. 11:46 NOW REGULARLY I'M ATTENDING CHURCH ALSO. 11:52 MORE AND MORE I CAME TO KNOW ABOUT BIBLE, ABOUT GOD'S LOVE 11:58 AND NOW I FEEL BETTER AND NOW I CAN GO ANYWHERE. 12:04 BEFORE I CANNOT GO LIKE THAT. I USED TO BE SICK BEFORE GOING. 12:08 I USED TO GET AFRAID BUT NOW I AM FREE. 12:12 I CAN GO ANYWHERE. I CAN ROAM. I FEEL VERY HAPPY NOW." 12:18 SHE NOW TEACHES AT THE CHURCH SCHOOL IN DEBTHANG VILLAGE. 12:23 ON THE SABBATH WE CAME BACK TO DEBTHANG TO SEE SOME 12:26 OF RUATA'S CONVERTS BEING BAPTIZED IN THE NEARBY RIVER. 12:31 I WAS ANXIOUS TO GET A GOOD VIEW, BUT THE BRIDGE WAS RATHER TRICKY. 12:36 SOME OF THE LOCAL VILLAGE BOYS WERE MORE INTERESTED IN THEIR GAME OF CRICKET, BUT WHEN I GOT 12:43 BACK TO THE BLOOM SCHOOL WHERE I WAS STAYING THAT DAY 12:47 THOSE STUDENTS WERE MORE INTERESTED IN A BAPTISM. 12:52 THEY HAD CONSTRUCTED A MAKESHIFT BAPTISMAL POOL AND IT WAS MY 12:57 PRIVILEGE TO HELP SOME OF THE OLDER STUDENTS BEING BAPTIZED. 13:03 WE CAN HELP SUPPORT GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS LIKE RUATA IN HIS BATTLE AGAINST THAT DEADLY 13:11 DISEASE OF SIN, AND WE CAN ENCOURAGE STUDENTS LIKE THESE 13:16 TO MAKE A DECISION TO GIVE THEIR LIVES TO JESUS CHRIST. 13:23 WASN'T THAT AMAZING TO SEE ALL THOSE WORKERS IN INDIA. 13:27 JOHN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT GLIMPSE INTO THAT PART OF INDIA AND INTO YOUR TERRITORY AND THE 13:31 WORKERS WHO ARE WORKING FOR THE LORD. 13:33 THAT'S WHERE YOU CAN GET INVOLVED HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH. 13:37 YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO GO ON A TRIP TO INDIA TO HELP BUT YOU CAN, THROUGH YOUR DONATIONS TO 13:43 GOSPEL OUTREACH, BE INVOLVED IN THE GREAT COMMISSION IN WORKING FOR THE LORD AND SHARING HIS 13:48 GOSPEL AND HIS LOVE TO THOSE AROUND THE WORLD. 13:51 YOU CAN DO THAT THROUGH GOSPEL OUTREACH. 13:53 WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU AND WE'D LOVE TO HEAR YOUR PLEDGE OF SUPPORT. 13:57 IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR US HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH, YOU CAN CALL AND TALK WITH A VOLUNTEER. 14:54 YOU CAN ALSO REQUEST OUR NEWSLETTER. 14:56 IT'S CALLED ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS AND WE'D BE HAPPY TO SEND THAT IN THE MAIL TO YOU. 15:06 IT'S CALLED ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS AND WE'D BE HAPPY TO SEND THAT IN THE MAIL TO YOU. 15:12 JOHN, WHAT'S IT LIKE FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO TRAVEL TO YOUR TERRITORY AND MEET THE PEOPLE 15:19 WHO ARE WORKING THERE FOR THE LORD? 15:21 DOES IT JUST KIND OF GIVE YOU A JOLT OF ENERGY? 15:22 I'VE LIVED IN ASIA FOR 19 YEARS. 15:25 I STARTED WITH LIVING IN PAKISTAN FOR SIX YEARS, SO IT'S A LITTLE LIKE GOING HOME 15:32 WHEN I GO BACK AND VISIT THAT PART OF THE WORLD. 15:35 BUT TO SEE THEM SO EXCITED FOR THE LORD AND SHARING IT WITH 15:39 THE PEOPLE IN THEIR VILLAGE IS THAT SPECIAL FOR YOU? 15:43 THAT'S GREAT YES. 15:45 YOU ALSO HAVE SOME INFORMATION ABOUT A PASTOR STEVEN. 15:50 YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD PASTOR STEVEN'S NAME IN THE FIRST VIDEO. 15:56 I DID. 15:58 HE IS A SENTALI AND HE WAS THE ONE WHO CONVERTED JOGEST THE BRICKYARD MANAGER. 16:06 HE HAS BEEN EXCELLENT AT FINDING AND TRAINING GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 16:13 HE IS AN ORDAINED PASTOR. 16:17 WHEN HE GREW UP HE COULDN'T READ, COULDN'T WRITE. 16:22 AFTER HE WAS CONVERTED HE PRAYED THAT GOD WOULD HELP HIM READ AND WRITE. 16:30 HE SPEAKS FOUR LANGUAGES NOW. 16:33 SOMEONE HAS JUST DONATED MONEY FOR HIM TO GO TO SPICER MEMORIAL COLLEGE IN INDIA AND GET A BA. 16:41 SO THAT'S WHERE HE IS AT THE MOMENT. 16:44 HE STARTED A SCHOOL IN THE VILLAGE WHERE HE WAS LIVING. 16:47 IN THIS NEXT VIDEO WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT THAT SCHOOL AND LOOK AT THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER 16:52 WHO IS WORKING THERE NOW PLUS WE'LL HEAR FROM TWO OF THE SCHOOL TEACHERS. 17:02 WHO IS WORKING THERE NOW PLUS WE'LL HEAR FROM TWO OF THE SCHOOL TEACHERS. 17:16 [VIDEO PLAYING] WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM FRIENDS IN THE UNITED STATES THE CHURCH MEMBERS IN 17:26 DHALAJAI VILLAGE, TRIPURA ARE TRYING TO COMPLETE THEIR SMALL BRICK CHURCH. 17:36 BIMAL SENTAL HAS JUST GRADUATED FROM OUR TWO-YEAR SEMINARY IN NORTHEAST INDIA AND IS WORKING 17:42 AS A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER IN DHALAJAI VILLAGE NORTHEAST INDIA. 17:49 WE HAVE A CHURCH SCHOOL IN DHALAJAI VILLAGE, AND THEY CALL IT JEHOVAH JIREH SCHOOL ONE OF 17:55 GOD'S NAMES WHICH TRANSLATED SAYS "THE LORD WILL PROVIDE." AND HE HAS. 18:02 THE FIRST THING GOD PROVIDED WAS A GOOD HEAD MASTER. 18:07 ATHEM HAD A GOOD TEACHING JOB UP NEAR THE BORDER WITH MYANMAR, OLD BURMA. 18:12 HE HEARD ABOUT THE NEED IN THIS AREA, AND HE CAME AS A MISSIONARY TEACHER WITH NO 18:17 SALARY AND STARTED SCHOOL WITH 18 STUDENTS. NOW THERE ARE 90. 18:24 THE NAME OF OUR SCHOOL IS JEHOVAH JIREH SCHOOL. 18:28 WE GIVE THIS NAME BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING BUT WE HAVE THE FAITH THAT GOD WILL 18:36 PROVIDE EVERYTHING FOR THE SCHOOL. 18:38 HIS BROTHER GIDEON ALSO CAME TO WORK WITH HIM BECAUSE THIS 18:43 IS A HINDU AREA AND HE WANTED TO HAVE A CHALLENGE. 18:47 MY NAME IS GIDEON AND THE YOUNGER BROTHER 18:50 OF ATHEM PRINCIPAL OF JEHOVAH JIREH SCHOOL. 18:55 I'M HAPPY TO COME HERE TO WORK TO HELP MY BROTHER AS WELL AS 19:01 TO HELP THE LITTLE CHILDREN OF THIS HINDU STRONGHOLD COMMUNITY. 19:07 AS JESUS SAID, LET THE LITTLE CHILDREN COME TO ME, DO NOT HINDER THEM. 19:15 SO I WANT TO BRING THESE LITTLE CHILDREN TO JESUS, 19:20 AND I WANT TO BRIDGE THE GAP WHICH THE CHILDREN HAVE WITH JESUS. 19:26 THIS IS GIDEON'S HOUSE AND NEW KITCHEN. 19:29 TODAY WAS GIDEON'S BIRTHDAY. 19:32 TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY, SO I WANT TO GIVE A SMALL GIFT TO DOCTOR. 19:39 THIS IS VERY, VERY NICE.

HOW MOVING. 21:52 A MAN NAMED GIDEON AND ON HIS BIRTHDAY PRESENTING YOU WITH A GIFT. 21:58 YES. 21:59 AND THOSE KIDS - HOW MOVING, AND NO MATTRESS ON THAT BED. 22:03 HOW MANY OF US HERE IN NORTH AMERICA WOULD SAY "NO" TO THAT. 22:09 YOU SEE THE PARENTS WANT TO SEND THEIR CHILDREN THERE BECAUSE IN A STATE SCHOOL 22:16 THEY HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL ON SABBATH. 22:19 THIS IS THE REASON WHY THEY BUILT THIS SMALL DORMITORY. 22:22 FROM THE SURROUNDING VILLAGES THE CHILDREN CAN COME IN, 22:26 AND THEY CAN STAY THERE AND ATTEND THE SCHOOL. 22:28 HOW MANY KIDS ARE THERE? 22:30 ABOUT 91 AT THE MOMENT. THEY DON'T HAVE ROOM FOR ANY MORE. 22:37 THERE ARE PROBABLY OTHER FAMILIES WANTING TO SEND THEIR KIDS THERE? 22:39 YES. 22:40 TELL ME ABOUT THE SASH. WHAT WAS THAT? 22:44 A SCARF THAT IS LOCALLY MADE. I HAD A COUPLE 22:48 GIVEN TO ME THIS YEAR. MY WIFE REALLY LIKES THEM. 22:52 SHE WEARS THEM AND THINKS THEY ARE GREAT. WHAT A SPECIAL GIFT. 22:56 I NOTICE THEY SPEAK ENGLISH. 22:58 YES. 22:59 DO MOST PEOPLE IN THAT AREA SPEAK ENGLISH? 23:03 NO. THAT'S WHY WE'RE SO PLEASED TO HAVE SUCH QUALIFIED 23:10 TEACHERS TEACHING WITH NOTHING AND NOT GETTING PAID. 23:14 THEY ARE JUST RELYING UPON WHAT THE PARENTS GIVE THEM. 23:17 AND THE NAME OF THE SCHOOL, JEHOVAH JIREH, THE LORD WILL PROVIDE. 23:23 BUT HE MAY NEED TO PROVIDE THROUGH YOU. 23:26 WHY DON'T YOU LOOK AT OUR CAMERA OVER HERE AND MAKE AN APPEAL TO PEOPLE. 23:30 JEHOVAH JIREH, THE LORD WILL PROVIDE, BUT HE MAY NEED TO PROVIDE THROUGH YOU, THROUGH 23:36 YOUR DONATIONS THAT YOU CAN GIVE TO GOSPEL OUTREACH. 23:40 AND YOU TOO CAN BE INVOLVED BY GIVING TO GOSPEL OUTREACH. 23:43 IT'S SIMPLE. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PICK UP 23:45 THE PHONE AND GIVE A CALL IF YOU'VE BEEN MOVED BY WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN TODAY. 23:56 THE PHONE AND GIVE A CALL IF YOU'VE BEEN MOVED BY WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN TODAY. 24:03 JOHN, ARE YOU HEADED BACK TO THAT AREA? 24:05 YES, NEXT FEBRUARY. 24:08 I'LL BE GETTING MY TICKET SOON AND I'LL BE BACK OVER THERE TO VISIT MY FRIENDS AGAIN, TAKE 24:13 SOME MORE VIDEOS AND MAKE SOME MORE FILMS TO SHARE WITH OUR LISTENERS AND VIEWERS. 24:20 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THAT. 24:22 IT CERTAINLY MAKES IT COME ALIVE FOR THE REST OF US WHO AREN'T ABLE TO VISIT THERE. 24:26 PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU GO ON THOSE BRIDGES. 24:28 YES. 24:30 WILL YOU BE SEEING GIDEON AGAIN? 24:32 PROBABLY. I'VE SEEN HIM TWICE. WE'RE GOOD FRIENDS NOW. 24:36 THEY HAVE MADE PROGRESS ON THE SCHOOL SINCE LAST YEAR BECAUSE SOME MONEY HAS COME THROUGH TO 24:41 HELP WITH TIN ROOFS AND SOME OTHER THINGS. 24:45 SO MONEY IS COMING THROUGH. 24:47 DO THEY GET A LOT OF RAIN THERE? 24:49 IN THE RAINY SEASON, YES. THAT'S WHY THEY NEED THE TIN ROOF. 24:54 AND THAT'S THE MOST EXPENSIVE PART, GETTING THE TIN ROOF. 24:56 THE WALLS ARE MUD WALLS. 24:59 THEY MAKE MUD BRICKS AND THOSE WALLS ARE ALL MUD BRICKS. 25:02 THAT'S WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO HAVE THE TIN ROOF. 25:06 YES. 25:07 HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE YOU TO GET TO THAT SCHOOL? DO YOU GO BY CAR? 25:11 I GO BY CAR BUT THE ROADS ARE VERY BUMPY. 25:16 THERE ARE LOTS OF POT HOLES AND NOT VERY GOOD TRAVELING. 25:21 WE SAW IN THAT BRICKYARD VIDEO THE LITTLE VAN THAT WAS GOING THROUGH THERE. 25:24 IT LOOKED VERY REMOTE. PEOPLE SAY TO MY WIFE, 25:27 "WHY DON'T YOU GO WITH HIM?" I SAY, "I DON'T THINK SHE WOULD LIKE IT." 25:34 IT CERTAINLY PUTS INTO PERSPECTIVE WHEN YOU 25:35 HAVE PICTURES OF THEIR KITCHEN AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 25:38 IT'S VERY PRIMITIVE BUT PROBABLY TO THEM THEY ARE THRILLED TO 25:41 HAVE WHAT THEY HAVE. IT KIND OF PUTS THAT INTO PERSPECTIVE HERE AS WELL. 25:45 WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO BE A PART OF GOSPEL OUTREACH. 25:49 YOU'VE HEARD JOHN AND SEEN THE VIDEOS. 25:51 YOU TOO CAN BE INVOLVED SIMPLY BY GIVING A DONATION TO GOSPEL 25:56 OUTREACH AS WE TOGETHER SPREAD THE GOSPEL. RIGHT JOHN? 26:02 JEHOVAH JIREH, THE LORD WILL PROVIDE BUT MAYBE THROUGH YOU. 26:08 THAT'S TRUE. 26:21 WE ALSO HAVE A NEWSLETTER. 26:23 IT'S ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS AND WE'D BE HAPPY TO SEND THAT TO YOU WHEN YOU CALL IN OR GO TO 26:27 THE WEBSITE OR SEND AN EMAIL TO OFFICE@GOAIM.ORG AND ASK FOR THE NEWSLETTER. 26:34 IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO HEAR EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON. 26:39 JOHN, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR BEING HERE ON "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS." 26:41 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING.
