[OPENING MUSIC]
00:00:10.30\00:00:27.30
HELLO EVERYBODY. I'M SO
GLAD TO BE ABLE TO WELCOME YOU
00:00:27.30\00:00:30.90
TO ANOTHER "ADVENTURES
IN MISSIONS" PROGRAM TODAY.
00:00:30.90\00:00:34.33
I HAVE WITH ME THE ONE WHOM I
CALL MY GOSPEL OUTREACH SISTER,
00:00:34.33\00:00:39.13
I THINK, BECAUSE MOST OF THOSE
WHOM I VISIT HERE BEV ARE MY
00:00:39.13\00:00:46.03
BROTHERS. WELL, YOU'RE
A WONDERFUL BROTHER TO ME.
00:00:46.03\00:00:48.06
THANK YOU.
00:00:48.06\00:00:49.06
I'M SO GLAD THAT YOU'RE HERE.
00:00:49.06\00:00:51.46
WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME
EXCITING THINGS THAT YOU HAVE
SEEN WITH YOUR EYES AND HANDLED
00:00:51.46\00:00:58.03
WITH YOUR OWN HANDS IN
THE REGION THAT YOU LEAD.
00:00:58.03\00:01:03.06
WHAT DOES A REGION
LEADER DO? SHARE THAT.
00:01:03.06\00:01:08.46
BASICALLY WE GO TO SEE
THAT DONATIONS ARE BEING
00:01:08.46\00:01:12.26
USED THE WAY WE
EXPECT THEM TO BE USED AND
00:01:12.26\00:01:14.70
THAT THE WORKERS ARE DOING
THE WORK WE EXPECT THEM TO DO.
00:01:14.70\00:01:18.13
YOU GO AND TAKE A LOOK AND
SNUGGLE UP TO THOSE PEOPLE ABOUT
00:01:18.13\00:01:22.03
ONCE A YEAR? YES. ONCE A YEAR I
GO AND TRY TO SEE AS MANY GOSPEL
00:01:22.03\00:01:26.20
OUTREACH WORKERS AS I CAN
AND TALK WITH THEM PERSONALLY.
00:01:26.20\00:01:29.96
HAVE YOU BEEN A GOSPEL OUTREACH
REGIONAL DIRECTOR FOR FIVE, OR
SIX, OR SEVEN YEARS ALREADY?
00:01:29.96\00:01:35.03
YES. IN 2003 I WAS ASKED
TO BE A REGIONAL DIRECTOR.
00:01:35.03\00:01:42.43
I WENT FOR MY FIRST
REGIONAL DIRECTOR VISIT IN 2005.
00:01:42.43\00:01:48.03
HERE WE ARE TAPING IN THE FALL
OF 2011 SO THAT MEANS YOU HAVE
MADE AT LEAST SIX TRIPS.
00:01:48.03\00:01:56.93
I'VE MADE PROBABLY CLOSER
TO A DOZEN TRIPS TO INDIA.
00:01:56.93\00:02:01.66
SO YOU GO A LITTLE EXTRA MILE.
00:02:01.66\00:02:04.46
WHERE MOST PEOPLE GO ONCE A YEAR
YOU GO MORE THAN ONCE A YEAR.
00:02:04.46\00:02:07.06
I'VE TAKEN YOUTH GROUPS
TO DO EVANGELISM A FEW TIMES.
00:02:07.06\00:02:10.43
I REMEMBER THAT BEV HAS BEEN
BACK HERE WITH HER GRANDCHILDREN
WHO HAVE GONE WITH HER TO VISIT
00:02:10.43\00:02:17.00
HER MISSION FIELD, AND IT
CHANGES THEIR LIVES TOO DOESN'T
00:02:17.00\00:02:22.40
IT? OH YES. I PLAN
TO TAKE TWO MORE SOON.
00:02:22.40\00:02:29.06
WHAT ARE WE TALKING
ABOUT IN THIS PROGRAM?
00:02:29.06\00:02:32.80
WE'RE TALKING RIGHT NOW ABOUT
THOSE PEOPLE WHO LOVE TO TELL
THE STORY OF JESUS--
00:02:32.80\00:02:37.93
OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS IN
MY AREA WHICH IS FROM CALCUTTA
00:02:37.93\00:02:42.30
UP TO BHUTAN, SIKKIM AND THAT
AREA IN THE NORTHEAST PART OF
00:02:42.30\00:02:48.80
INDIA. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE
WATCHING, TO GET A LITTLE
ORIENTATION, WHY DON'T YOU GO
00:02:48.80\00:02:53.76
TO A MAP AND FIND INDIA ON
THE MAP THEN LOOK FOR CALCUTTA.
00:02:53.76\00:03:00.56
PUT YOUR FINGER THERE THEN MOVE
NORTH OF THAT RIGHT TO SOMETHING
THAT IS SPELLED LIKE BHUTAN THEN
00:03:00.56\00:03:10.60
PUT YOUR FINGER THERE THEN MOVE
NORTH OF THAT RIGHT TO SOMETHING
THAT IS SPELLED LIKE BHUTAN THEN
00:03:10.60\00:03:16.73
YOU'LL KNOW JUST WHERE BEV
THOMPSON IS THE REGIONAL
DIRECTOR FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:03:16.73\00:03:23.20
AND SIKKUM IS RIGHT
NEXT DOOR TO BHUTAN.
00:03:23.20\00:03:31.43
WE'VE GOT A LOT OF PICTURES THAT
YOU HAVE BROUGHT FOR US TODAY.
00:03:31.43\00:03:35.33
A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND
WORDS, SO WE'RE GOING TO SPEND
00:03:35.33\00:03:38.16
AS MUCH TIME AS WE CAN
LOOKING AT THE PICTURES.
00:03:38.16\00:03:40.20
TELL US WHO WE'RE LOOKING AT.
00:03:40.20\00:03:41.96
WE'RE LOOKING AT A COUPLE OF
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS GOING
00:03:41.96\00:03:44.96
TOGETHER TO VISIT IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD AND TO SHARE THE
00:03:44.96\00:03:49.50
GOOD NEWS. THEY ARE OUT TELLING
THE STORY OF JESUS AND HIS LOVE.
00:03:49.50\00:03:53.90
I'M INTERRUPTING YOU AND
FORGIVE ME FOR THIS PLEASE.
00:03:53.90\00:03:57.93
BUT THIS IS SOMETHING BASIC
TO GOSPEL OUTREACH MINISTRY--
00:03:57.93\00:04:03.10
GOING TO SEE THE
PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
00:04:03.10\00:04:05.93
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:04:05.93\00:04:07.36
THEY HAVE A PICTURE TO INTRODUCE
THE SUBJECT OF JESUS TO THESE
00:04:07.36\00:04:14.43
PEOPLE. WE HAVE A GROUP OF
PEOPLE WHO ARE MEETING OUTSIDE
00:04:14.43\00:04:16.96
AND THE LADY THERE IS
THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER.
00:04:16.96\00:04:19.93
SHE IS TEACHING WOMEN AND
CHILDREN ABOUT THE LOVE OF
00:04:19.93\00:04:25.33
JESUS. SHE HAS A SPECIAL AREA
THAT SHE COVERS THAT IS SPECIAL
00:04:25.33\00:04:30.40
FOR GOING IN TO SEE THE WOMEN
DURING THE DAY AND SEEING THE
00:04:30.40\00:04:35.10
CHILDREN. NOW, HOW MANY LADY
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS DO YOU
00:04:35.10\00:04:39.60
HAVE? I DON'T KNOW
BUT IT IS A MINORITY.
00:04:39.60\00:04:42.43
BUT, THEY WORK AS EFFECTIVELY AS
MEN IN THESE KINDS OF SITUATIONS
00:04:42.43\00:04:47.33
DON'T THEY? OH YES.
00:04:47.33\00:04:49.70
HERE WE HAVE SOMEONE USING
THEIR HAND CRANK AUDIO BIBLE.
00:04:49.70\00:05:01.46
THESE FELLOWS ARE QUITE
FASCINATED BY THE ELECTRONICS,
00:05:01.46\00:05:04.13
SO THEY COME AROUND AND
GATHER TO HEAR THE GOOD NEWS.
00:05:04.13\00:05:07.86
SO THEY ARE HEARING THE
BIBLE IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE.
00:05:07.86\00:05:10.16
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:05:10.16\00:05:11.90
ARE THESE BIBLES TRANSLATED?
00:05:11.90\00:05:16.76
I KNOW THEY ARE TRANSLATED
BY THESE PEOPLE BUT ARE THEY
00:05:16.76\00:05:19.13
WIDELY AVAILABLE SO THESE
PEOPLE HAVE HEARD THIS BEFORE?
00:05:19.13\00:05:22.63
NO. THIS IS
SOMETHING VERY UNIQUE.
00:05:22.63\00:05:26.76
WE HAVE LITTLE
TINY PALM HELD ONES NOW.
00:05:26.76\00:05:31.00
THESE LAST ABOUT
THREE OR FOUR YEARS.
00:05:31.00\00:05:36.26
THE PEOPLE LOVE TO SEE THE
ELECTRONICS AND BE ABLE TO PLAY
THEM AND FIDDLE WITH THEM.
00:05:36.26\00:05:43.36
THE MESSAGE IS THERE, AND ONCE
THEY START TO LISTEN THEY ARE
00:05:43.36\00:05:46.16
SO FASCINATED THEY WANT
TO HEAR THE WHOLE THING.
00:05:46.16\00:05:51.13
THIS MAN IS AN OUTSTANDING
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER WHO WANTS
TO SHARE THE GOOD NEWS.
00:05:51.13\00:05:55.93
I HAVE SEEN HIM IN SO MANY
DIFFERENT LOCATIONS DOING THE
00:05:55.93\00:05:59.53
WORK. HERE HE IS AT A
GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY WHERE
THEY ARE GETTING READY TO BUILD
00:05:59.53\00:06:06.26
A CHURCH. HERE HE IS
AT AN EVANGELISTIC CENTER.
00:06:06.26\00:06:09.80
THEY ARE GETTING READY TO HAVE
EVANGELISM WITH THIS PANDAL.
00:06:09.80\00:06:14.33
A PANDAL IS LIKE A TENT AND
THEY PUT CHAIRS INSIDE AND MATS
00:06:14.33\00:06:18.16
INSIDE FOR THE
PEOPLE TO COME AND VISIT.
00:06:18.16\00:06:20.83
NOW HE IS THE
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER?
00:06:20.83\00:06:23.36
IS HE DOING THE
EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS?
00:06:23.36\00:06:25.53
YES, HE HELPS WITH THEM ALL.
00:06:25.53\00:06:27.76
HE SEEMS TO BE EVERYWHERE.
00:06:27.76\00:06:30.26
THEY LOVE TO TELL THE STORY. NOW
THESE TWO FELLOWS ARE GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS FROM BHUTAN.
00:06:30.26\00:06:36.60
THEY HAVE COME ON THIS
MOTORCYCLE SO THEY CAN FIND ME
AND TELL ME THE GOOD NEWS THAT
00:06:36.60\00:06:40.56
THEY HAVE SOME
PEOPLE READY FOR BAPTISM.
00:06:40.56\00:06:45.20
ONE YEAR BEFORE THIS I WAS
ABLE TO SEE A GROUP OF PEOPLE
00:06:45.20\00:06:50.63
BAPTIZED. THERE WERE SEVEN THAT
FIRST YEAR AND HERE THEY ARE
00:06:50.63\00:06:56.86
LINED UP. THEY ARE IN
THERE BHUTANI COSTUME.
00:06:56.86\00:06:58.63
THEY HAD TO COME OUT OF THE
COUNTRY TO GET BAPTIZED BECAUSE
EVEN THOUGH THE BHUTAN
00:06:58.63\00:07:04.16
GOVERNMENT SAYS THERE IS
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM I THINK IT
00:07:04.16\00:07:06.43
IS DONE FOR THE
PURPOSE OF INTERNATIONAL FACE.
00:07:06.43\00:07:11.36
IT HASN'T
REACHED THE PEOPLE YET.
00:07:11.36\00:07:13.43
OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER PEMA
HAS BEEN IN PRISON TWO TIMES
BECAUSE OF SHARING HIS FAITH.
00:07:13.43\00:07:20.53
I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF
SEEING THIS PERSON BAPTIZED.
00:07:20.53\00:07:24.33
HE WAS THE PASTOR OF ANOTHER
CHURCH, BUT HE HEARD THE
WONDERFUL MESSAGE OF JESUS'
00:07:24.33\00:07:28.73
LOVE AND HOW TO WORSHIP
GOD ON THE SABBATH DAY AND HE
00:07:28.73\00:07:34.16
WAS HAPPY AND WILLING TO
JOIN THE ADVENTIST FAITH.
00:07:34.16\00:07:37.46
DID YOU SAY THAT'S PEMA?
00:07:37.46\00:07:39.36
THIS IS NOT PEMA. PEMA
WAS IN THE PRECEDING PICTURE.
00:07:39.36\00:07:43.46
WHEN YOU SAID THAT
NAME IT RANG A BELL WITH ME.
00:07:43.46\00:07:47.30
I HAVE TO TELL OUR VIEWERS
ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW IF I MAY.
00:07:47.30\00:07:52.40
I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS SPEAKING
TO A GROUP OF BELIEVING MEN IN
OREGON, AND THEY ASKED IF THERE
00:07:52.40\00:08:01.60
WAS ANYTHING THEY COULD DO
TO HELP ADVANCE SOME MISSION
00:08:01.60\00:08:07.86
PROJECT SOMEPLACE. BECAUSE YOU
AND I HAD BEEN VISITING ON THE
SET OF GOSPEL OUTREACH HERE AND
00:08:07.86\00:08:13.80
I WAS STILL ON FIRE WITH
THE STORY YOU HAD BEEN TELLING I
00:08:13.80\00:08:18.66
TOLD THEM I THOUGHT THERE
WAS SOMETHING THEY COULD DO.
00:08:18.66\00:08:21.53
IN TURN, THOSE MEN WHO
MET IN A MEN'S RETREAT WEEKEND
00:08:21.53\00:08:28.53
GAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO
SUPPORT PEMA FOR ONE YEAR.
00:08:28.53\00:08:32.83
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:08:32.83\00:08:34.86
IF THERE IS ANYBODY IN
OREGON WHO MAY BE VIEWING
00:08:34.86\00:08:38.66
THIS PROGRAM, I WANT
YOU TO KNOW THAT BECAUSE
00:08:38.66\00:08:42.73
OF THE INVESTMENT YOU MADE IN
GOSPEL OUTREACH AND LADY BEV'S
00:08:42.73\00:08:49.13
MINISTRY IN THAT PART OF INDIA
THERE ARE SOULS BORN INTO THE
00:08:49.13\00:08:53.93
KINGDOM AS A RESULT OF
THAT CONTRIBUTION. AMEN.
00:08:53.93\00:08:57.63
THIS IS THE TIME FOR ME TO SAY
TO ALL OF YOU, IF YOU'D LIKE TO
HAVE A PART IN MINISTRY LIKE
00:08:57.63\00:09:09.63
THOSE MEN IN OREGON DID, MAYBE
THREE YEARS AGO OR SOMETHING
LIKE THAT AND HERE WE ARE IN THE
00:09:09.63\00:09:16.43
FALL OF 2011, YOU CAN SEND YOUR
GIFTS TO GOSPEL OUTREACH AND
LEADERS LIKE BEV WILL SEE THAT
00:09:16.43\00:09:26.10
THOSE GIFTS ARE WELL INVESTED
FOR THE SAKE OF GOSPEL OUTREACH
AND THE SAKE OF GOD'S KINGDOM.
00:09:26.10\00:09:33.73
IT'S A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE TO
SEE HOW ALL OF THESE PEOPLE COME
TOGETHER AND SHARE THEIR
00:09:33.73\00:09:39.36
EXCITING STORIES OF HOW
THEY HAVE WORKED AND SPREAD THE
00:09:39.36\00:09:43.93
GOSPEL. HERE WE HAVE DECKIE
WHO WAS ONE OF PEMA'S CONVERTS.
00:09:43.93\00:09:49.03
DECKIE IS A LOVELY YOUNG LADY.
00:09:49.03\00:09:50.90
SHE CAME FROM A
HINDU BACKGROUND.
00:09:50.90\00:09:53.43
HER HUSBAND LEFT HER WHEN SHE
BECAME A CHRISTIAN THEN SHE
LEARNED ABOUT THE SABBATH.
00:09:53.43\00:09:59.93
SHE IS NOW ANOTHER GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKER AND SHE IS ON
00:09:59.93\00:10:04.30
FIRE. SHE HAS BIBLE STUDIES WITH
HER NEIGHBOR LADIES AND SHE GOES
00:10:04.30\00:10:07.50
WITH ANOTHER LADY
ALSO TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL.
00:10:07.50\00:10:11.13
THIS IS THE GROUP THAT WAS
BAPTIZED THAT DAY, AND DECKIE
00:10:11.13\00:10:14.53
IS ON THE EXTREME LEFT
IN THE LONG GREEN DRESS.
00:10:14.53\00:10:18.76
THIS WAS THE
SECOND BAPTISM FOR BHUTAN.
00:10:18.76\00:10:23.73
LET ME TELL YOU, BHUTAN NOW HAS
ABOUT 80 PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN
00:10:23.73\00:10:29.53
BAPTIZED. HOW MANY
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS?
00:10:29.53\00:10:31.53
WE NOW HAVE TEN.
00:10:31.53\00:10:33.63
WE HAVE INVESTED WITH
TEN GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS.
00:10:33.63\00:10:36.53
IT'S EXCITING NEWS FOR
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN BHUTAN.
00:10:36.53\00:10:39.10
LET'S TRANSLATE THIS A
LITTLE BIT FOR OUR VIEWERS.
00:10:39.10\00:10:42.46
WHAT DOES A GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKER IN BHUTAN RECEIVE BY WAY
00:10:42.46\00:10:47.30
OF A STIPEND TO
SUPPORT THEM IN THEIR WORK?
00:10:47.30\00:10:49.86
IT'S ABOUT $80.00 A MONTH.
00:10:49.86\00:10:52.10
$80.00 A MONTH TIMES TEN IS
$800.00 A MONTH TIMES TWELVE IS
$9600.00 IS SUPPORTING TEN
00:10:52.10\00:11:02.20
$80.00 A MONTH TIMES TEN IS
$800.00 A MONTH TIMES TWELVE IS
$9600.00 IS SUPPORTING TEN
00:11:02.20\00:11:07.20
WORKERS PROCLAIMING THE GOSPEL,
TAKING THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS
CHRIST TO THE COUNTRY OF BHUTAN.
00:11:07.20\00:11:14.50
IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE
WHO WOULD LIKE TO DOUBLE THAT?
00:11:14.50\00:11:18.00
THIS IS A WONDERFUL EXCITING
INDICATION OF WHAT GOSPEL
00:11:18.00\00:11:21.96
OUTREACH IS DOING
AND CAN CONTINUE TO DO.
00:11:21.96\00:11:24.90
SORRY FOR
INTERRUPTING YOUR STORY.
00:11:24.90\00:11:27.16
I LIKE YOUR INTERRUPTION BECAUSE
WE REALLY NEED TO HAVE MORE
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS.
00:11:27.16\00:11:32.63
HERE YOU CAN SEE SIX OF THE
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS WHO WERE
00:11:32.63\00:11:36.83
THERE. WE HAD TO MEET IN THE
FIFTH STORY UP AND HAVE PRAYER
AND TELL EXPERIENCES IN A QUIET
00:11:36.83\00:11:43.00
ATMOSPHERE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T
WANT TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH
00:11:43.00\00:11:49.23
NEIGHBORS. JOGAN IS NOT FAR
ACROSS THE BORDER FROM BHUTAN
00:11:49.23\00:11:53.40
INTO INDIA. HE IS PROBABLY IN
HIS LATE 40'S EARLY 50'S, BUT HE
00:11:53.40\00:11:58.16
HAS BEEN ON FIRE FOR
GOD FOR TEN YEARS OR MORE.
00:11:58.16\00:12:01.13
HE GETS ASSIGNED TO ONE
PLACE AND CONVERTS THE PEOPLE.
00:12:01.13\00:12:06.66
IN THIS VILLAGE WHERE HE IS
WE HAVE A CHURCH THAT WAS BUILT.
00:12:06.66\00:12:12.26
WHEN WE HAD THE DEDICATION WE
HAD TO HAVE IT AT NIGHT BECAUSE
00:12:12.26\00:12:17.33
I GOT THERE LATE. YOU CAN
SEE THE CHURCH IS CROWDED.
00:12:17.33\00:12:19.20
THEY ARE SO EXCITED ABOUT HAVING
A CHURCH IN THEIR VILLAGE.
00:12:19.20\00:12:23.00
EVERYONE IN THE VILLAGE IS AN
ADVENTIST EXCEPT FOR ONE FAMILY
00:12:23.00\00:12:29.56
AND THAT WAS FAMILY THAT
DONATED THE LAND FOR THE CHURCH.
00:12:29.56\00:12:33.03
HERE WE HAVE A
YOUNG COUPLE IN SIKKIM.
00:12:33.03\00:12:35.83
WE ARE SO EXCITED BECAUSE WE
ARE GOING INTO SIKKIM WHICH IS A
00:12:35.83\00:12:40.26
DARK AREA. IT
IS A BUDDHIST AREA.
00:12:40.26\00:12:41.80
WE HAVE ONE CHURCH THERE SORT OF
ON THE BORDER OF SIKKIM BUT THE
00:12:41.80\00:12:47.40
REST OF ALL SIKKIM IS A
DARK AREA WITH NOBODY THERE.
00:12:47.40\00:12:51.63
THIS YOUNG COUPLE-- SHE IS A
MIDWIFE AND HE HAS HAD TRAINING
WITH LOIS AND BILL DALL WHO ARE
00:12:51.63\00:13:00.60
INDEPENDENT MISSIONARIES
ON THEIR OWN IN INDIA.
00:13:00.60\00:13:05.43
THEY HAVE A WONDERFUL
PROGRAM FOR TEACHING MIDWIFERY
00:13:05.43\00:13:07.70
TO THE LADIES AND
TEACHING THEOLOGY TO THE MEN.
00:13:07.70\00:13:11.06
WE HAVE THEIR GRADUATES, AND
THEY ARE DETERMINED TO GO OUT
00:13:11.06\00:13:14.56
AND VISIT EVERY
HOME ON THE HILLS THERE.
00:13:14.56\00:13:17.13
ARE THESE OUR GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS IN SIKKIM?
00:13:17.13\00:13:20.20
YES, OUR NEW GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS IN SIKKIM.
00:13:20.20\00:13:23.50
WHAT A BLESSING TO KNOW
THAT THE MESSAGE IS GOING THERE.
00:13:23.50\00:13:27.40
THIS BAPTISM WAS AN EXCITING
TIME BECAUSE THE PASTOR TO YOUR
00:13:27.40\00:13:33.13
EXTREME LEFT I MET
WHEN HE WAS IN ANOTHER AREA.
00:13:33.13\00:13:39.03
HE WAS A SUPERVISOR OF
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS.
00:13:39.03\00:13:44.26
HE WAS SO GOOD THAT THEY
TRANSFERRED HIM TO BIHAR WHERE
00:13:44.26\00:13:48.70
THIS IS, AND HE IS NOW THE
PRESIDENT OF THE BIHAR REGION.
00:13:48.70\00:13:54.63
YOU CAN SEE HE
IS ON FIRE FOR GOD.
00:13:54.63\00:13:57.36
HE IS THERE WITH THE BAPTISM
OF A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE.
00:13:57.36\00:14:00.66
I BELIEVE THERE WERE ABOUT
39 PEOPLE BAPTIZED AT THIS TIME.
00:14:00.66\00:14:04.73
YOU SEE THE PEOPLE IN THE
BACK--THERE IS ONE MAN IN THE
00:14:04.73\00:14:09.73
INDIAN COSTUME. HE IS QUITE
CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON
BECAUSE PROBABLY 200 PEOPLE
00:14:09.73\00:14:16.03
HAVE FOLLOWED THE CANDIDATES
TO THE BAPTISMAL WATER.
00:14:16.03\00:14:20.00
HE FOLLOWED ALONG TO SEE.
00:14:20.00\00:14:22.50
THE REST OF THE MEN STANDING
THERE ARE GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:14:22.50\00:14:26.00
WORKERS. AS YOU LOOK CLOSELY,
THEY HAVE A BOOK IN THEIR HAND.
00:14:26.00\00:14:29.53
WHAT THEY HAVE WRITTEN THERE
ARE THE NAMES OF THE PEOPLE
00:14:29.53\00:14:32.86
THEY PREPARED FOR BAPTISM,
WHO THEY SAW GET BAPTIZED.
00:14:32.86\00:14:37.50
OF COURSE THAT RECORD ENABLES
THEM ALSO TO DO CAREFUL FOLLOW
UP OF THESE PEOPLE I'M SURE.
00:14:37.50\00:14:43.56
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:14:43.56\00:14:45.36
THEY HAVE THEIR NAMES AND THEY
WILL MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET
VISITED IF THEY DON'T COME TO
00:14:45.36\00:14:50.93
WORSHIP SERVICES OR FIND OUT
WHY THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO COME.
00:14:50.93\00:14:55.96
I THOUGHT THIS WAS
QUITE FASCINATING TO SEE THEIR
00:14:55.96\00:14:59.60
RECORDS. THIS IS ANOTHER GROUP
OF BAPTISMAL CANDIDATES THAT I
00:14:59.60\00:15:04.46
WENT TO VISIT. THERE IS AN
ELDERLY LADY TO YOUR EXTREME
RIGHT WAY IN THE BACK.
00:15:04.46\00:15:08.73
YOU CAN HARDLY SEE HER.
00:15:08.73\00:15:10.03
IT WAS SO INTERESTING TO
ME WHEN I HEARD HER STORY.
00:15:10.03\00:15:13.10
HER HUSBAND HAD DIED ABOUT SIX
MONTHS BEFORE, AND HER
DAUGHTER-IN-LAW HAD DIED IN
00:15:13.10\00:15:20.03
CHILDBIRTH--BOTH THE
BABY AND THE MOTHER DIED.
00:15:20.03\00:15:24.56
ONE WEEK LATER HER
HUSBAND GOT DIARRHEA AND DIED.
00:15:24.56\00:15:29.36
THIS DEAR GRANDMOTHER IS TAKING
CARE OF A TEN YEAR-OLD GIRL.
00:15:29.36\00:15:34.76
THEY WALKED FOUR HOURS TO COME
TO THE GROUP TO BE BAPTIZED.
00:15:34.76\00:15:41.10
THEY ATE A MEAL THEN
WERE GOING TO GO BACK.
00:15:41.10\00:15:45.10
I SAW THE LITTLE GIRL WAS JUST
IN RAGS AND I THOUGHT ABOUT NO
PARENTS, JUST GRANDMA AND
00:15:45.10\00:15:51.93
GRANDMA IS A WIDOW SO SHE IS AT
THE BOTTOM OF THE TOTEM POLE FOR
00:15:51.93\00:15:57.63
HAVING ANY WEALTH. SHE HAS
NO ONE TO SUPPORT HER. WE MADE
00:15:57.63\00:16:01.10
ARRANGEMENTS SO THIS LITTLE GIRL
COULD GET INTO A BOARDING
SCHOOL, GET SUPPLIED
00:16:01.10\00:16:06.60
UNIFORMS AND BOOKS AND
THE THINGS SHE WOULD NEED.
00:16:06.60\00:16:09.96
GRANDMA HAS TO BE SUPPORTED
PROBABLY BY BEGGING AND DOING
00:16:09.96\00:16:14.53
LITTLE THINGS BUT AT
LEAST THE GIRL IS CARED FOR.
00:16:14.53\00:16:18.73
I GAVE HER 100 RUPEES SO SHE
COULD GET A DRESS FOR THE GIRL.
00:16:18.73\00:16:23.46
GRANDMA PULLED OUT OF HER BAG
A DRESS THAT SHE HAD WORN FOR
00:16:23.46\00:16:27.86
THE BAPTISM AND
HAD ALREADY PUT AWAY.
00:16:27.86\00:16:31.06
BUT IT WAS ALREADY TOO
SHORT FOR HER SO I TOLD HER
00:16:31.06\00:16:33.86
TO KEEP THE MONEY AND
GET ANOTHER DRESS FOR HER.
00:16:33.86\00:16:37.96
THE PEOPLE THERE ARE VERY POOR,
BUT OH THE JOY THEY HAVE WHEN
00:16:37.96\00:16:42.06
THEY LEARN ABOUT
JESUS AND HIS SAVING GRACE.
00:16:42.06\00:16:46.33
THE REALITY IS THESE DEAR SOULS
IN THAT KIND OF ENVIRONMENT HAVE
ABSOLUTELY NO HOPE AT ALL.
00:16:46.33\00:16:57.66
THERE IS JUST MORE OF WHAT
THEY'VE ALWAYS HAD OR HAVEN'T
HAD AND HAVE BEEN AND
00:16:57.66\00:17:04.56
ALWAYS WILL BE EXCEPT FOR
THE PROMISE THAT IS MADE WHEN
00:17:04.56\00:17:10.36
THEY RECOGNIZE THAT JESUS
HAS SOMETHING BETTER FOR THEM.
00:17:10.36\00:17:14.43
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:17:14.43\00:17:15.96
HERE YOU SEE ANOTHER GROUP
OF GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS GOING
00:17:15.96\00:17:20.36
DOWN THE PATH LEADING PEOPLE
TO A BAPTISMAL WATER PLACE.
00:17:20.36\00:17:25.23
THEY ARE PLAYING THE KEYBOARD
AND SINGING AS THEY ARE GOING
00:17:25.23\00:17:31.70
ALONG. THEY SAY THIS IS GOOD
NEWS FOR THE VILLAGES THAT THEY
00:17:31.70\00:17:35.70
PASS THROUGH. WE WALKED FOR
ABOUT A MILE AND A HALF TO THE
00:17:35.70\00:17:39.33
WATER. THEY SAID THEY LIKE TO DO
THIS BECAUSE THE PEOPLE COME OUT
AND SEE THEM SINGING AND THEY
00:17:39.33\00:17:44.53
WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT IS
AND THEY WILL FOLLOW THEM.
00:17:44.53\00:17:47.06
THEY WILL SEE THE BAPTISM
AND THEY WILL WANT TO KNOW MORE
00:17:47.06\00:17:50.80
ABOUT THIS. ARE THERE VERY FEW
CHRISTIANS IN AN AREA LIKE THIS
SO WHEN THESE PEOPLE
00:17:50.80\00:17:57.73
ARE SINGING THESE SONGS THIS
IS NEW TO MOST OF THE PEOPLE?
00:17:57.73\00:18:00.66
YES. IN THIS AREA
THEY ARE MOSTLY ANIMISTS.
00:18:00.66\00:18:03.96
THERE ARE SOME HINDUS BUT
MOSTLY ANIMIST PEOPLE HERE.
00:18:03.96\00:18:08.80
WHEN YOU WALKED FOR A MILE AND A
HALF TO THE WATER WOULD YOU GO
THROUGH SEVERAL VILLAGES?
00:18:08.80\00:18:12.63
YES, THREE, FOUR, FIVE.
00:18:12.63\00:18:16.50
SO THAT'S QUITE AN EVANGELISTIC
ENDEAVOR RIGHT THERE
00:18:16.50\00:18:19.10
TO JUST MARCH AND
SING THROUGH THE VILLAGES.
00:18:19.10\00:18:22.00
THEN WE GOT TO THE WATER
HOLE AND GOT TO SEE THE PEOPLE
00:18:22.00\00:18:27.16
BAPTIZED. BOTH YOUNG MEN, YOUNG
WOMEN, OLD MEN, OLDER WOMEN
00:18:27.16\00:18:33.03
ALSO. HERE ON THE BANK YOU
SEE THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS
00:18:33.03\00:18:35.50
AND THE CHURCH MEMBERS
ALL COMING TO SEE THE BAPTISM.
00:18:35.50\00:18:42.50
THIS IS A GROUP OF GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS WHO ARE HAVING
00:18:42.50\00:18:48.20
TRAINING. I WANTED TO POINT OUT
THE SECOND MAN ON THE LEFT WITH
A BROWNISH SHIRT ON.
00:18:48.20\00:18:57.26
HE HAS BEEN A GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKER FOR SOME TIME BUT HE HAS
HAD A MESSAGE FOR THE CHILDREN.
00:18:57.26\00:19:03.20
I HAVE ENCOURAGED
THEM WITH CHILDREN.
00:19:03.20\00:19:05.96
WHAT HE DOES IS GO INTO
A VILLAGE AND TALK WITH THE
00:19:05.96\00:19:09.80
CHILDREN, TELL THEM
STORIES, PLAY GAMES WITH THEM.
00:19:09.80\00:19:13.43
I GAVE THEM A FOOTBALL SO THEY
COULD PLAY FOOTBALL TO GET THE
00:19:13.43\00:19:18.13
PEOPLE TOGETHER THEN THEY COULD
PRAY AND TALK WITH THE PEOPLE.
00:19:18.13\00:19:22.03
WHAT WAS INTERESTING ABOUT
THIS MAN WAS THIS LAST YEAR
00:19:22.03\00:19:26.46
HIS 12 YEAR-OLD SON GOT POLIO,
AND HE CAN NO LONGER WALK.
00:19:26.46\00:19:33.66
HE ASKS FOR PRAYER FOR HIS SON.
ALL OF THESE WORKERS THIS YEAR
00:19:33.66\00:19:39.16
HAVE A NEW SOCCER BALL TO PLAY
WHAT WE CALL SOCCER, THEY CALL
00:19:39.16\00:19:48.86
IT FOOTBALL. WHILE WE'RE ON THIS
PICTURE AND THEY ARE TOGETHER
FOR TRAINING, ARE YOU PROVIDING
00:19:48.86\00:19:55.23
THE TRAINING? AT THIS TIME I AM.
00:19:55.23\00:19:57.93
IS THIS TO HELP THEM TO KNOW HOW
TO DO THEIR OUTREACH AND TO
CONTACT THE PEOPLE?
00:19:57.93\00:20:03.76
WHAT HAPPENS IS WHEN I GO I
USUALLY SEE WHERE I FEEL LIKE
THERE IS MAYBE SOMETHING THEY
00:20:03.76\00:20:11.33
ARE MISSING THAT
THEY COULD BE STRONGER ON.
00:20:11.33\00:20:15.56
SO I PREPARE
SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR THEM.
00:20:15.56\00:20:19.50
THEY CAN HAVE BIBLE TEXTS SO
THEY CAN TEACH FROM THEM TO
THEIR GROUPS OF BELIEVERS AND
00:20:19.50\00:20:27.16
HAVE A CLEARER AND EASIER
PICTURE OF HOW TO PRESENT
WHATEVER THE SUBJECT IS.
00:20:27.16\00:20:36.16
SABBATH KEEPING IS ONE SUBJECT
AND TITHE PAYING IS ANOTHER
00:20:36.16\00:20:42.03
SUBJECT. NOT THAT WE THINK
THEY SHOULD BE PAYING TITHE,
00:20:42.03\00:20:45.66
BUT THEY NEED TO UNDERSTAND
THE PRINCIPLES OF TITHING.
00:20:45.66\00:20:49.53
IF YOU CAN IMAGINE NOT JUST
THAT WE RETURN OUR TITHE BUT THE
00:20:49.53\00:20:54.16
BLESSING THEY ARE MISSING
BY NOT PAYING THEIR TITHE.
00:20:54.16\00:20:57.60
I KNOW THIS IS WHAT
YOU'RE SHARING WITH THEM BEV.
00:20:57.60\00:21:00.53
YOU'RE HELPING THEM UNDERSTAND
THAT TITHING IS REALLY
ACKNOWLEDGING A PARTNERSHIP WITH
00:21:00.53\00:21:08.46
GOD IN ALL OF OUR EXPERIENCE
PARTICULARLY IN THIS CONTEXT
00:21:08.46\00:21:14.63
RELATING TO STEWARDSHIP OF OUR
MATERIAL RESOURCES AND SO FORTH.
00:21:14.63\00:21:20.80
I'M GLAD YOU MADE
THAT CLARIFICATION FOR US.
00:21:20.80\00:21:25.00
IF YOU REALIZE THAT
PEOPLE IN INDIA, THE HINDU
00:21:25.00\00:21:31.36
OR THE ANIMIST,
GO TO THEIR HOUSE
00:21:31.36\00:21:34.46
OF WORSHIP WITH A GIFT
BECAUSE THEY HAVE A NEED.
00:21:34.46\00:21:38.66
THEY WANT TO HAVE A
PRIEST PRAY FOR THEM.
00:21:38.66\00:21:42.60
SO THEY BRING A GIFT OR WHATEVER
THE PRIEST SAYS THEY HAVE TO
00:21:42.60\00:21:47.63
BRING. THERE MIGHT BE A FEE OR
IT MIGHT BE THAT YOU HAVE TO
GIVE AT LEAST SO MUCH.
00:21:47.63\00:21:53.40
THE GIFT IS RECOGNIZED AND
HAVING BEEN IN THOSE KINDS OF
PLACES AND OBSERVED,
00:21:53.40\00:21:59.90
IS APPEASEMENT OF EITHER
THE PRIEST OR THE SPIRITS.
00:21:59.90\00:22:09.06
MANY TIMES YES.
00:22:09.06\00:22:11.90
AMONG ANIMISTS THAT IS CERTAINLY
THE CASE SO THAT THEY WILL BE
00:22:11.90\00:22:16.66
ABLE TO BE JUSTIFIED
TO GET WHAT THEY NEED.
00:22:16.66\00:22:20.00
AND DON'T WE HAVE GOOD NEWS?
00:22:20.00\00:22:22.06
I LOVE TO TELL THE
STORY OF JESUS AND HIS LOVE.
00:22:22.06\00:22:25.03
I LIKE THE THEME OF THIS
PROGRAM THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN US.
00:22:25.03\00:22:27.36
YOU'VE GOT A FEW MORE PICTURES.
LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN GET IN.
00:22:27.36\00:22:30.33
WE'RE AT A CAMP MEETING HERE
AND THESE ARE A GROUP OF GOSPEL
00:22:30.33\00:22:36.13
OUTREACH WORKERS. IT IS SO
THRILLING TO ME TO GO TO CAMP
00:22:36.13\00:22:38.60
MEETINGS. THIS ONE IS IN BIHAR.
00:22:38.60\00:22:41.20
WE HAVE THE GROUP ALL GATHERED
TOGETHER AND WE GO DOWN TO THE
00:22:41.20\00:22:46.06
WATER HOLE. THIS ONE WAS ABOUT
A MILE AND A HALF AWAY ALSO.
00:22:46.06\00:22:49.80
WHEN WE GOT TO THE CANAL THERE
WAS A LADY DOING HER LAUNDRY
00:22:49.80\00:22:55.13
AND FURTHER UPSTREAM
THERE WERE BUFFALO BATHING.
00:22:55.13\00:23:00.33
YOU CAN SEE HOW
DEEP THE WATER WAS.
00:23:00.33\00:23:02.96
NOT QUITE TO THE KNEE BUT THERE
WAS ENOUGH WATER TO BAPTIZE
00:23:02.96\00:23:07.70
THEM. SO WE GOT TO
SEE THESE PEOPLE BAPTIZED.
00:23:07.70\00:23:10.76
ON THE WAY BACK FROM THE BAPTISM
THIS IS A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER
LEADING A GROUP OF PEOPLE BEHIND
00:23:10.76\00:23:17.06
HIM WHO ARE SINGING PRAISES AND
THANKING GOD FOR THE CHANGE IN
00:23:17.06\00:23:22.93
THEIR LIVES. SINGING MUST BE
A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THEIR
00:23:22.93\00:23:26.73
CHRISTIAN EXPERIENCE AND
THEIR EXPRESSION OF WORSHIP.
00:23:26.73\00:23:29.83
I BELIEVE IT IS.
00:23:29.83\00:23:31.16
THEY LOVE TO SING. THEY
WILL SING FOR AN HOUR BEFORE A
00:23:31.16\00:23:34.93
MEETING. DO YOU RECOGNIZE
MANY OF THE SONGS THAT THEY ARE
00:23:34.93\00:23:38.26
SINGING? MANY BUT
THERE ARE MANY THAT I DON'T.
00:23:38.26\00:23:41.83
BUT YOU CAN TELL BY THE
EXPRESSIONS ON THEIR FACES AND
THE MELODY OF THE SONG THAT THEY
00:23:41.83\00:23:49.03
ARE PRAISING GOD AND
YOU KNOW THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
00:23:49.03\00:23:51.73
THIS IS A GROUP OF GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS WHO WERE IN THE
00:23:51.73\00:23:55.63
GROUP THAT WAS WALKING
BACK TO THE CAMP MEETING TENT.
00:23:55.63\00:24:00.30
THESE PEOPLE HAD BROUGHT
THEIR CANDIDATES TO BAPTISM.
00:24:00.30\00:24:06.03
WHEN THEY GOT BACK TO THE TENT
THE BAPTIZED PEOPLE AND THE
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS ALL
00:24:06.03\00:24:13.23
GATHERED AROUND THE PEOPLE
WHO HAD BEEN BAPTIZED AND SANG
00:24:13.23\00:24:19.23
PRAISES TO GOD. IT WAS
A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
00:24:19.23\00:24:21.93
YOU KNOW, YOU BRING
SOMETHING TO MIND HERE BEV.
00:24:21.93\00:24:27.96
THE FOCUS OF THIS MINISTRY IS
TO BRING THESE PEOPLE INTO THE
00:24:27.96\00:24:37.13
FELLOWSHIP, TO INCORPORATE THEM
INTO THE BELIEVING COMMUNITY.
00:24:37.13\00:24:43.06
SO THEY ARE ALL TOGETHER SINGING
PRAISES AS THEY GO TO THE "WATER
00:24:43.06\00:24:49.16
HOLE." AND AS THE BAPTISM IS
COMPLETED AND THEY ARE ON THE
WAY BACK THEY ARE SINGING AGAIN.
00:24:49.16\00:24:53.30
THEN THEY ALL COME
TOGETHER. IT'S LIKE A PARTY, A
00:24:53.30\00:24:57.60
CELEBRATION. OH IT IS,
IT'S A GREAT CELEBRATION.
00:24:57.60\00:24:59.76
MOST BAPTISMS THAT I
HAVE ATTENDED THEY HAVE THE
00:24:59.76\00:25:03.00
BAPTISMAL CEREMONY
DOWN AT THE WATER'S EDGE AND
00:25:03.00\00:25:06.16
WALKING BACK THEY ARE SINGING
AND DANCING BEFORE THE LORD.
00:25:06.16\00:25:10.60
WHEN THEY GET BACK THEY SHAKE
HANDS WITH THEM, HUG THEM AND
00:25:10.60\00:25:18.70
GIVE THEM A BIBLE. THEY MAY GIVE
THEM MORE THAN ONE PIECE OF
LITERATURE - THE BIBLE AND
00:25:18.70\00:25:23.90
ANOTHER PIECE OF LITERATURE LIKE
STEPS TO CHRIST OR EVEN THE
GREAT CONTROVERSY I'VE SEEN
00:25:23.90\00:25:29.60
GIVEN TO THEM. THEN THEY PUT
GARLANDS ON THEM AND WELCOME
THEM INTO THE FELLOWSHIP.
00:25:29.60\00:25:36.10
THEN THEY HAVE A FEAST!
00:25:36.10\00:25:38.66
YOU GO OUTDOORS AND LINE UP
TO GET ALL OF THE RICE AND CURRY
00:25:38.66\00:25:43.93
AND SALAD. OUR TIME IS ABOUT
GONE BEV BUT I AM THINKING RIGHT
NOW THAT THERE IS PROBABLY A LOT
00:25:43.93\00:25:52.03
WE IN THE WESTERN WORLD CAN
LEARN FROM THESE PEOPLE IN THAT
CHRISTIAN ENVIRONMENT, THAT
00:25:52.03\00:25:59.33
WORSHIP EXPERIENCE, THAT
OBJECTIVE OF INCORPORATING OTHER
PEOPLE INTO THE FELLOWSHIP OF
00:25:59.33\00:26:06.06
FAITH. THANK YOU FOR BEING
WITH US AND I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY
00:26:06.06\00:26:10.20
TO OUR VIEWERS, IF YOU'D
LIKE TO INTERACT OR TALK ABOUT
00:26:10.20\00:26:16.46
SOMETHING LIKE THIS WITH
SOMEBODY, I'D ENCOURAGE YOU TO
00:26:16.46\00:26:20.46
BE IN TOUCH WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH
AND ASK TO POSSIBLY COMMUNICATE
BY EMAIL OR SOME OTHER FASHION
00:26:20.46\00:26:27.53
WITH BEV THOMPSON AND LET HER
TELL YOU ABOUT WHO SHE SEES,
WHAT HAPPENS THERE AND THE
00:26:27.53\00:26:35.86
BLESSING OF BEING EXPOSED TO
THIS KIND OF SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST EXPERIENCE AND
00:26:35.86\00:26:42.26
FELLOWSHIP. THESE PEOPLE WANT
MORE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS,
AND WE ARE PART OF THE ANSWER TO
00:26:42.26\00:26:48.96
THAT SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
ALL YOU'VE DONE, ALL YOU DO AND
WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME.
00:26:48.96\00:26:54.06
?CLOSING MUSIC?
00:26:54.06\00:26:55.06
