WELCOME TO
"ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS."
00:00:21.93\00:00:24.26
I'M JULIE SANDERS
KEYMER HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:00:24.26\00:00:26.90
YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
TRAVEL TO INDIA TODAY WITH US.
00:00:26.90\00:00:30.83
JAMES CAMPBELL, I WANT TO
WELCOME YOU TO "ADVENTURES IN
00:00:30.83\00:00:33.26
MISSIONS." THANK YOU.
00:00:33.26\00:00:34.26
IT'S A PLEASURE HAVING YOU HERE.
00:00:34.26\00:00:35.86
I'M GLAD TO BE HERE AGAIN.
00:00:35.86\00:00:38.10
THIS IS EXCITING FOR ME BECAUSE
I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO GO TO
00:00:38.10\00:00:40.83
INDIA. I WENT TO INDIA IN 1962
A LITTLE BEFORE YOU WERE BORN.
00:00:40.83\00:00:45.46
YES INDEED.
00:00:45.46\00:00:46.46
HOW LONG DID YOU LIVE IN INDIA?
00:00:46.46\00:00:49.06
WE LIVED 17 YEARS IN INDIA.
00:00:49.06\00:00:51.50
SO IT HAS A SPECIAL
PLACE IN YOUR HEART.
00:00:51.50\00:00:55.10
OH YES.
00:00:55.10\00:00:56.30
HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH YOU ARE
ONE OF THE REGIONAL DIRECTORS.
00:00:56.30\00:01:00.40
TELL US WHERE YOUR REGION IS.
00:01:00.40\00:01:03.03
OUR REGION IS THE WESTERN
PART OF NORTHERN INDIA AND THE
00:01:03.03\00:01:08.86
COUNTRY OF NEPAL. FASCINATING.
00:01:08.86\00:01:09.83
AND WHAT IS THE NORTHERN
PART OF INDIA KNOWN FOR?
00:01:09.83\00:01:12.36
A LOT OF PEOPLE.
00:01:12.36\00:01:14.33
A LOT OF GOD'S
CHILDREN ARE THERE.
00:01:14.33\00:01:20.56
IT'S REALLY THE
BREAD BASKET OF INDIA.
00:01:20.56\00:01:22.90
IN THE NORTHERN PART OF INDIA
THERE ARE FERTILE FIELDS WATERED
BY THE RIVERS THAT COME OUT OF
00:01:22.90\00:01:28.90
THE HIMALAYAN MOUNTAINS.
00:01:28.90\00:01:29.90
IT'S A VERY PRODUCTIVE AREA.
00:01:29.90\00:01:36.36
ISN'T THAT SOMETHING.
00:01:36.36\00:01:37.46
IN MY MIND I THINK
OF INDIA BEING VERY DRY.
00:01:37.46\00:01:40.16
IS IT GREEN UP IN THAT AREA?
00:01:40.16\00:01:42.16
THAT AREA IS VERY
GREEN BECAUSE OF IRRIGATION.
00:01:42.16\00:01:47.46
WE'RE HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH
AND "ADVENTURERS IN MISSIONS" TO
LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR TERRITORY,
00:01:47.46\00:01:51.60
SO SHARE WITH US SOME
THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING THERE.
00:01:51.60\00:01:54.53
THAT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME
BECAUSE GOD IS BLESSING SO
WONDERFULLY IN THAT AREA.
00:01:54.53\00:02:01.93
YOU KNOW, TRADITIONALLY THE
GOSPEL HAS GONE QUITE SLOWLY IN
THE NORTHERN PART OF INDIA.
00:02:01.93\00:02:09.63
WAY BACK A LITTLE OVER A HUNDRED
YEARS AGO THERE WAS A WONDERFUL
CHRISTIAN REVIVAL IN INDIA.
00:02:09.63\00:02:15.70
THOUSANDS OF
PEOPLE BECAME CHRISTIANS.
00:02:18.83\00:02:21.26
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS WERE JUST
BEGINNING THEIR WORK IN INDIA AT
THAT TIME SO THE WORK WAS
00:02:21.26\00:02:27.86
LARGELY AMONG PRESBYTERIAN,
METHODIST AND SALVATION ARMY
CHRISTIANS WHO DID A FABULOUS
00:02:27.86\00:02:34.80
WORK THERE AT THAT TIME
UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE HOLY
00:02:34.80\00:02:38.23
SPIRIT. ABSOLUTELY.
00:02:38.23\00:02:40.00
NOW THE GOSPEL IS GOING RAPIDLY
IN THE NORTHERN PART OF INDIA
BECAUSE GOSPEL OUTREACH IS THERE
00:02:40.00\00:02:46.03
FOR ONE THING AND IT'S TIME.
00:02:49.43\00:02:53.00
IN OUR TERRITORY THERE
ARE APPROXIMATELY 450 MILLION
00:02:53.00\00:02:59.03
PEOPLE. LET'S THINK ABOUT THAT.
00:03:02.76\00:03:04.16
SOMETIMES WE THROW TERMS AROUND
BUT WE HAVE TO GET OUR MIND
00:03:04.16\00:03:07.53
AROUND THAT. 450 MILLION.
00:03:07.53\00:03:08.76
THAT'S ONE AND A HALF TIMES THE
POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES.
00:03:08.76\00:03:16.86
THAT PUTS IT INTO
PERSPECTIVE FOR US.
00:03:16.86\00:03:21.53
GOSPEL OUTREACH HAS HAD WORKERS
IN THAT PART OF INDIA FOR ALMOST
00:03:21.53\00:03:27.60
20 YEARS. SOME OF THOSE
ARE DOING EXCELLENT WORK.
00:03:29.40\00:03:31.96
MOST OF THEM ARE.
00:03:31.96\00:03:33.36
I'D LIKE US TO GET ACQUAINTED
WITH THE NEWSLETTER FROM GOSPEL
00:03:33.36\00:03:39.16
OUTREACH. ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS
IS OUR MONTHLY NEWSLETTER.
00:03:46.93\00:03:47.93
IT COMES TO US BY MAIL.
00:03:47.93\00:03:49.06
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS WRITE
IN OR PHONE IN AND ASK FOR IT.
00:03:49.06\00:03:55.56
IT'S FREE.
00:03:55.56\00:04:00.36
THERE IS SOMETHING
ELSE GOOD ABOUT IT.
00:04:00.36\00:04:06.40
SOME PEOPLE PRINT THIS
FREE FOR US WHICH IS A VERY NICE
00:04:06.40\00:04:13.03
CONTRIBUTION. IT REALLY IS.
00:04:13.03\00:04:14.73
LIKE THE OLD FARMER, WHEN HE
RETIRES TO THE CITY HE STILL
WANTS TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH THE
00:04:14.73\00:04:20.20
PEOPLE IN HIS FARMING AREA.
00:04:20.20\00:04:22.33
SO WHEN HE GETS THE FARMING
NEWSPAPER, WHAT DOES HE DO?
00:04:22.33\00:04:26.90
HE TURNS TO THE OBITUARIES FIRST
TO SEE IF ANY OF HIS FRIENDS ARE
00:04:26.90\00:04:31.73
THERE. ON THE BACK OF ADVENTURES
IN MISSIONS THERE IS A SECTION
00:04:31.73\00:04:37.46
THERE "IN MEMORY." THAT'S THERE
BECAUSE WHEN SOMEONE PASSED AWAY
SOME FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER
00:04:37.46\00:04:43.53
SENT A MEMORIAL
GIFT TO GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:04:47.03\00:04:49.40
AS I LOOKED THROUGH THIS LIST
THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT I
00:04:49.40\00:04:53.43
KNOW. DOYLE AND PAULINE BARNETT
FORMER MISSIONARIES IN THE FAR
EASTERN DIVISION FOR 43 YEARS
00:04:53.43\00:04:59.33
AND FRIENDS OF GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:04:59.33\00:05:00.96
AND MARILYN WHO
USED TO WORK HERE.
00:05:00.96\00:05:03.73
IN ADDITION TO ALL OF THIS, IT
GIVES INFORMATION ABOUT ALL THE
EXCITING THINGS THAT ARE
00:05:03.73\00:05:10.00
HAPPENING WITH
GOSPEL OUTREACH VOLUNTEERS .
00:05:10.00\00:05:12.36
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:05:12.36\00:05:13.36
AND WE'LL TALK
SOME MORE ABOUT THAT.
00:05:13.36\00:05:15.90
TELL ME THE SCOPE OF
GOSPEL OUTREACH JAMES.
00:05:15.90\00:05:19.03
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS
WORKING IN ABOUT 50 COUNTRIES.
00:05:19.03\00:05:24.30
WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT WHAT
GOSPEL OUTREACH DOES, BUT THEY
ARE IN 50 COUNTRIES FROM WEST
00:05:24.30\00:05:28.90
AFRICA RIGHT
THROUGH TO THE PHILIPPINES.
00:05:28.90\00:05:31.20
IT'S THE PART OF THE WORLD WHERE
PEOPLE KNOW THE LEAST ABOUT THE
00:05:31.20\00:05:38.03
GOSPEL OF JESUS. AND
YOU'RE TERRITORY IS SMACK IN THE
00:05:38.03\00:05:40.53
MIDDLE. YES IT IS, AND IT'S ONE
OF THE MOST POPULATED AREAS OF
00:05:40.53\00:05:45.23
THE 10/40 WINDOW. NOW
10/40, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:05:45.23\00:05:48.53
IT MEANS FROM 10 DEGREES NORTH
OF THE EQUATOR TO 40 DEGREES
NORTH OF THE EQUATOR.
00:05:48.53\00:05:54.23
THERE ARE NO BORDERS LIKE THAT,
AND WE DON'T FOLLOW THOSE
BORDERS REALLY CAREFULLY BUT
00:05:54.23\00:06:00.23
THAT'S THE AREA WHERE THE
GOSPEL NEEDS TO GO AT THIS TIME.
00:06:00.23\00:06:05.86
THERE ARE SEVERAL BILLION
PEOPLE-- ABOUT TWO AND A HALF
BILLION PEOPLE IN THAT AREA.
00:06:05.86\00:06:11.90
WE SEE EVIDENCE THAT THE HOLY
SPIRIT IS WORKING IN THAT AREA.
00:06:12.13\00:06:19.73
PRAISE THE LORD.
00:06:19.73\00:06:21.13
TELL US ABOUT THE PLANNING
FOR ONE MILLION BAPTISMS IN A
00:06:21.13\00:06:27.10
THREE-YEAR STAND. OH BOY!
00:06:29.03\00:06:30.30
YOU'RE GIVING ME
THAT OPPORTUNITY?
00:06:30.30\00:06:31.50
I AM.
00:06:31.50\00:06:32.36
YOU BETTER JUMP IN,
IT'S YOUR OPPORTUNITY.
00:06:32.36\00:06:34.06
HERE IS THE BRAND NEW PLAN THAT
GOSPEL OUTREACH REALLY HASN'T
ANNOUNCED YET BUT WE GET THE
00:06:34.06\00:06:39.96
PRIVILEGE OF
TALKING ABOUT IT TODAY.
00:06:42.46\00:06:44.46
IT IS THRILLING.
00:06:44.46\00:06:47.60
YOU SEE, GOSPEL OUTREACH
SUPPORTS JUST OVER 2000 WORKERS
WHO ARE WORKING IN THEIR OWN
00:06:47.60\00:06:53.66
HOME TERRITORIES
IN THESE 50 COUNTRIES.
00:06:57.36\00:07:01.06
TO ME THAT'S HUGE BECAUSE THEY
ALREADY KNOW THE LANGUAGE, THEY
ALREADY KNOW THE CULTURE AND WE
00:07:01.06\00:07:04.76
DON'T HAVE TO SPEND TWO YEARS
FOR SOME AMERICAN OR EUROPEAN TO
00:07:04.76\00:07:09.43
GO TO THAT COUNTRY
AND LEARN THE LANGUAGE.
00:07:09.43\00:07:10.63
THE STIPEND THEY RECEIVE IS NOT
QUITE ENOUGH BUT THEY MANAGE.
00:07:10.63\00:07:16.43
YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE SACRIFICING
TO GIVE TO GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:07:16.43\00:07:21.70
THE PEOPLE WHO ARE WORKING
OUT THERE IN THE FIELD SACRIFICE
00:07:21.70\00:07:26.16
TOO. THEY ARE
PLEASED TO DO THAT.
00:07:26.16\00:07:31.60
THERE IS SOMETHING
ELSE THAT I SHOULD MENTION.
00:07:31.60\00:07:33.56
THE PEOPLE WHO ARE RUNNING THE
CAMERAS HERE, THE PEOPLE WHO ARE
DOING THE HIGHLY TECHNICAL WORK
00:07:33.56\00:07:41.36
OF RECORDING THIS PROGRAM, THE
PEOPLE WHO HANDLE YOUR GIFTS
THAT COME IN AND THE NEWSLETTER
00:07:41.36\00:07:47.93
AND ALL THE PLANNING,
THOSE PEOPLE ARE ALL VOLUNTEERS.
00:07:47.93\00:07:51.36
NOW WHAT DOES A VOLUNTEER
MEAN AT GOSPEL OUTREACH?
00:07:51.36\00:07:53.53
TELL US.
00:07:53.53\00:07:54.43
IT MEANS THAT THEY
GET ABSOLUTELY NO SALARY.
00:07:54.43\00:07:57.90
IT ALSO MEANS THAT THEY
ARE GREAT CONTRIBUTORS TO THIS
00:07:57.90\00:08:03.43
PROGRAM. THIS IS TRUE.
00:08:03.43\00:08:04.56
TELL US A LITTLE MORE ABOUT
THIS "ONE MILLION FOR JESUS."
00:08:04.56\00:08:07.63
WE HAVE A NEW BROCHURE TO TELL
ABOUT IT, BUT GIVE IT TO US IN A
00:08:07.63\00:08:11.30
NUTSHELL. THE IDEA IS THAT IN
THE YEARS 2013, 2014 AND 2015
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS PLANNING TO
00:08:11.30\00:08:17.36
ADD ANOTHER
TWELVE HUNDRED WORKERS.
00:08:25.33\00:08:28.20
THAT WILL BRING THE NUMBER OF
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS IN THE
FIELD TO ALMOST 3500.
00:08:28.20\00:08:34.26
THOSE NEW GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS WILL BE ENTERING BRAND
00:08:34.86\00:08:42.16
NEW TERRITORY. WE HAVE A LIST OF
THE CITIES WHERE THEY WILL WORK.
00:08:42.16\00:08:47.26
THE FIELDS IN INDIA, AFRICA ,
PHILIPPINES AND OTHER PLACES
HAVE ALREADY BEEN DESIGNATED
00:08:47.26\00:08:54.73
WHERE THESE NEW
WORKERS ARE GOING TO WORK.
00:08:54.73\00:08:56.70
THAT'S FANTASTIC.
00:08:56.70\00:08:57.76
THEY HAVE PEOPLE READY.
00:08:57.76\00:08:59.26
NOW IT'S GOING TO COST.
00:08:59.26\00:09:00.90
IN ADDITION TO THE THREE MILLION
PLUS IT TAKES TO OPERATE GOSPEL
OUTREACH EACH YEAR,
00:09:00.90\00:09:02.60
IT'S GOING TO COST ANOTHER SEVEN
AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS
THROUGH THAT THREE-YEAR PERIOD.
00:09:02.60\00:09:07.36
THAT'S WHERE PEOPLE WHO ARE
WATCHING THIS CAN GET INVOLVED.
00:09:10.33\00:09:16.40
YOU KNOW, THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT
THERE WHO COULD PROBABLY GIVE
00:09:25.20\00:09:28.90
THE WHOLE THING. GIFTS THAT COME
TO GOSPEL OUTREACH COME FROM
PEOPLE WHO LOVE THE LORD AND
00:09:30.00\00:09:37.06
WANT TO GIVE FOR HIS WORK.
00:09:37.06\00:09:38.86
ON THE BACK OF THE ADVENTURES IN
MISSIONS NEWSLETTER THERE ARE
LITTLE SNIPPETS FROM PEOPLE'S
00:09:38.86\00:09:44.43
LETTERS WHO HAVE
WRITTEN IN WITH THEIR GIFTS.
00:09:48.43\00:09:52.16
WHY DON'T YOU READ ONE OF THEM.
00:09:52.16\00:09:53.23
HERE IS ONE I
THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE.
00:09:53.23\00:09:54.66
THIS IS IN THE JANUARY
NEWSLETTER, SO SOME OF YOU
HAVEN'T RECEIVED THIS YET.
00:09:54.66\00:10:00.63
IT'S HOT OFF THE PRESS.
00:10:01.13\00:10:03.20
IT SAYS-"I THOUGHT I
WOULD SHARE AN ITEM WITH YOU.
00:10:03.20\00:10:07.33
OVER THE PAST YEAR AND
ESPECIALLY THE PAST SIX MONTHS
THE LORD HAS CONFIRMED HIS WORD
00:10:07.33\00:10:13.10
TO ME AS FOUND IN MALACHI 3.
00:10:13.10\00:10:16.13
OUR BUSINESS HAS SEEN BLESSINGS
OF NEARLY HISTORIC PROPORTIONS
AND THIS AT A TIME WHEN MANY OF
00:10:16.13\00:10:22.20
THE OTHER NURSING HOMES AROUND
US ARE STRUGGLING WITH LOW
00:10:24.16\00:10:28.56
CENSUS. IT IS TRULY AKIN TO THE
TITHE-PAYING FARMER WITH A
BUMPER CROP DURING A DROUGHT
00:10:28.56\00:10:34.33
WHEN ALL THE
OTHER FARMS ARE BARREN.
00:10:34.33\00:10:37.36
ALL I CAN SAY IS PRAISE GOD
FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW."
00:10:37.36\00:10:43.26
THIS IS FROM A MAN AND HIS WIFE
WHO JUST LOVE THE LORD AND THEY
SEND GIFTS TO GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:10:43.26\00:10:49.33
THEY SEND GIFTS TO A LOT OF
OTHER MINISTRIES WHO ARE HELPING
00:10:51.33\00:10:54.83
TO SPREAD THE
GOSPEL IN ALL THE WORLD.
00:10:54.83\00:10:56.73
AND THE LORD IS BLESSING THEM.
00:10:56.73\00:10:58.93
WE WANT TO SAY A "THANK YOU" TO
THEM AND ALL OF YOU WHO GIVE TO
00:10:58.93\00:11:04.10
GOSPEL OUTREACH. WE WILL TALK
MORE ABOUT THE "ONE MILLION FOR
JESUS," BUT JAMES, YOU HAVE SOME
00:11:04.10\00:11:10.43
PICTURES TO SHOW
US OF YOUR TERRITORY.
00:11:10.43\00:11:11.56
WHY DON'T YOU SHOW THOSE.
00:11:11.56\00:11:12.76
INDIA IS KNOWN
FOR THE TAJ MAHAL.
00:11:12.76\00:11:14.60
IT IS, AND YOU KNOW
THAT'S ON MY BUCKET LIST TO SEE.
00:11:14.60\00:11:20.83
DESCRIBE IT TO US.
00:11:20.83\00:11:24.43
IT'S HARD TO DESCRIBE THE TAJ
MAHAL IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S A BIG
BUILDING BUT YOU HARDLY REALIZE
00:11:24.43\00:11:30.46
HOW TALL IT IS.
00:11:32.60\00:11:33.50
IT'S ABOUT AS TALL
AS A TEN-STORY BUILDING.
00:11:33.50\00:11:37.26
IT'S HARD TO PUT ALL
THAT INTO PERSPECTIVE.
00:11:37.26\00:11:40.06
IT'S FOUR OR FIVE HUNDRED YEARS
OLD, AND IT'S KNOWN ALL AROUND
00:11:40.06\00:11:46.10
THE WORLD. TO ME THIS IS A
SYMBOL OF THE BEAUTY OF INDIA
00:11:48.86\00:11:54.93
AND LOVE. I HAVE A LITTLE
PROBLEM ABOUT THAT LOVE STUFF.
00:11:56.73\00:12:02.16
I THINK THAT SHA JAHAN WHO BUILT
THIS SUPPOSEDLY BECAUSE OF HIS
GREAT LOVE FOR ONE OF HIS
00:12:02.16\00:12:08.23
MULTIPLE WIVES, AND THAT IS
PROBABLY TRUE, BUT THE BIG THING
WAS THAT HE WANTED TO HAVE A
00:12:12.33\00:12:17.53
MAUSOLEUM, A GRAVE, THAT
WAS MORE AUSPICIOUS THAN ANYBODY
00:12:17.53\00:12:19.03
ELSE. WELL, HE DID IT.
00:12:19.03\00:12:20.03
BUT THAT DOESN'T
DETRACT FROM ITS BEAUTY.
00:12:20.03\00:12:23.10
THE PEOPLE OF INDIA
REALLY LOVE THAT PLACE.
00:12:23.10\00:12:29.16
THERE IS A SPIRIT
GOING ON IN INDIA.
00:12:38.76\00:12:46.20
PEOPLE LOVE THE LORD EVEN THOUGH
THEY MAY NOT KNOW WHO HE IS.
00:12:46.20\00:12:50.80
THEY WANT TO COME CLOSE TO HIM.
00:12:51.80\00:12:54.53
THEY ARE VERY DEVOUT PEOPLE.
00:12:54.53\00:12:56.70
IS THERE A
SEARCHING THERE TO LEARN MORE?
00:12:56.70\00:12:58.36
OH YES.
00:12:58.36\00:12:59.73
HERE'S A PICTURE OF A BAPTISMAL
GROUP IN THE PUNJAB IN NORTHERN
00:12:59.73\00:13:05.73
INDIA. THINGS
ARE HAPPENING THERE.
00:13:07.36\00:13:13.13
IT'S LOVELY TO
SEE ALL THOSE PEOPLE.
00:13:13.13\00:13:14.93
WE'VE BEEN TALKING A LITTLE BIT
HERE ABOUT THE "ONE MILLION FOR
JESUS" AND THAT'S WHERE YOU CAN
00:13:14.93\00:13:21.36
GET INVOLVED TO BE A
PARTNER WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:13:21.36\00:13:24.46
YOU TOO CAN SHARE WITH YOUR
DONATIONS AND THAT WILL HELP
FURTHER THIS PROJECT FOR OTHER
00:13:24.46\00:13:31.20
PEOPLE TO LEARN
MORE ABOUT JESUS.
00:13:31.20\00:13:34.00
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS EITHER
PICK UP THE PHONE OR P0P A CHECK
IN THE MAIL OR GO ONLINE.
00:13:34.00\00:13:40.06
WE WILL BE HAPPY TO CHAT WITH
YOU, AND WE WOULD SO APPRECIATE
00:13:43.83\00:13:50.93
YOUR DONATIONS. AS JAMES

HE IS ONE OF THE DIRECTORS
AND OTHER INFORMATION AS WELL.
00:14:35.40\00:14:41.10
YOU CAN REQUEST THIS.
00:14:41.10\00:14:43.20
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS WORKING IN 50
NATIONS WITH 100 MISSIONS AND
THERE ARE 2000 MEN AND WOMEN
00:14:43.20\00:14:49.26
WORKERS WITH GOSPEL
OUTREACH IN THE 10/40 WINDOW.
00:14:52.03\00:14:56.20
THE PHONE NUMBER IN
CANADA IS 250-545-2212.
00:14:56.20\00:14:59.83
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
YOUR INVOLVEMENT HERE AT GOSPEL
00:14:59.83\00:15:06.10
OUTREACH. JAMES, WHY DON'T YOU
TAKE US BACK TO INDIA AND LET'S
LOOK AT SOME MORE PICTURES.
00:15:06.10\00:15:09.13
FIRST OF ALL I WANT TO SAY HELLO
TO ALL MY FRIENDS IN CANADA.
00:15:09.13\00:15:13.80
GOSPEL OUTREACH CANADA IS DOING
A FABULOUS JOB OF PROVIDING
00:15:13.80\00:15:18.33
FOR THE GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS IN AFRICA.
00:15:18.33\00:15:22.13
THE CANADIAN FOLK ARE
TAKING CARE OF AFRICA.
00:15:22.13\00:15:26.16
I'D ALSO LIKE TO SAY HELLO TO
THE SUPPORTERS OF GOSPEL
OUTREACH IN BRAZIL BECAUSE THE
00:15:26.16\00:15:33.90
THREE COUNTRIES--
00:15:33.90\00:15:35.36
THE UNITED STATES, CANADA AND
BRAZIL ARE THE SUPPORTING
COUNTRIES FOR GOSPEL
00:15:35.36\00:15:40.13
OUTREACH. IT'S JUST WONDERFUL
THE SUPPORT THAT'S COMING FROM
ALL THREE OF THESE NATIONS WHERE
00:15:40.13\00:15:46.16
GOD HAS BLESSED
IN A WONDERFUL WAY.
00:15:49.30\00:15:50.50
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT
THE EASTERN U.P. REGION.
00:15:50.50\00:15:55.03
THAT'S AN AREA AROUND WHAT USED
TO BE CALLED BANARAS , THE MOST
SACRED PLACE ON THE GANGES RIVER
00:15:55.03\00:16:01.16
FOR HINDU PEOPLE.
00:16:08.20\00:16:09.90
WHEN A DEVOUT HINDU IS ABOUT TO
DIE THEY WILL OFTEN REQUEST TO
BE TAKEN TO THE BANKS OF THE
00:16:09.90\00:16:15.73
GANGES RIVER AT
BANARAS FOR THEIR CREMATION.
00:16:20.63\00:16:24.53
WHY THAT PARTICULAR AREA?
00:16:24.53\00:16:26.73
IT'S A SACRED RIVER.
00:16:26.73\00:16:28.36
THE RIVER COMES OUT OF THE
HIMALAYAN MOUNTAINS, AND THERE
ARE SHRINES RIGHT UP TO TWENTY
00:16:28.36\00:16:34.13
SOME THOUSAND FEET IN THE
HIMALAYAS WHERE DEVOTE PEOPLE
WILL GO TO WORSHIP.
00:16:36.43\00:16:43.23
THEY GO TO THE GANGES RIVER AT
BANARAS AND THERE THEY HAVE THE
SPECIAL CEREMONIES CONNECTED
00:16:43.23\00:16:49.30
WITH THE BURNING OF THEIR BODY.
00:16:52.10\00:16:55.20
THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
A HINDU PERSON WANTS TO DO AFTER
00:16:55.20\00:17:01.33
HIS DEATH. IN THAT AREA
TODAY THERE ARE ABOUT 60 MILLION
00:17:02.36\00:17:08.53
PEOPLE. FIFTEEN YEARS AGO THERE
WERE APPROXIMATELY 50 MILLION
00:17:08.53\00:17:16.06
PEOPLE. AT THAT TIME WE HAD
ABOUT FIFTY SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTISTS IN THAT AREA.
00:17:16.06\00:17:20.36
THAT MEANS ONE SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST FOR A MILLION PEOPLE.
00:17:20.36\00:17:24.40
TODAY THERE ARE 40 THOUSAND
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS IN THAT
AREA AND 60 MILLION PEOPLE.
00:17:24.40\00:17:30.46
THAT MEANS THERE IS ONE
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS FOR EVERY
00:17:34.20\00:17:40.23
1500 PEOPLE. ONE TO A MILLION,
FIFTEEN YEARS LATER, ONE TO
00:17:40.66\00:17:44.90
1500. SO HOW WAS THAT POSSIBLE?
00:17:44.90\00:17:46.43
BY GOD'S GRACE AND THE SUPPORT
OF THE PEOPLE WHO SEND IN GIFTS
TO GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:17:46.43\00:17:52.50
WE HAVE ABOUT 30 GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS IN THAT AREA AND THE
00:17:54.96\00:18:02.83
LORD IS BLESSING. IT
ISN'T ALL EASY THERE.
00:18:02.83\00:18:04.33
WE'RE DOING THIS
PROGRAM EARLY JANUARY OF 2012.
00:18:04.33\00:18:10.40
JUST A MONTH AGO, AS WE WERE
RECORDING, TWO OF OUR GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS WERE WORKING
00:18:10.40\00:18:17.16
WITH AN EVANGELIST IN ONE
OF THE TOWNS IN THIS AREA.
00:18:17.16\00:18:21.53
SOME VERY DEVOUT PEOPLE
OF A NONCHRISTIAN FAITH WERE
00:18:21.53\00:18:27.60
DISTURBED BY THAT, AND THEY TOOK
THESE TWO GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS AND JUST BEAT THEM
00:18:29.83\00:18:33.96
SEVERELY AND HAD
THEM PUT IN JAIL.
00:18:33.96\00:18:37.50
THE GOOD NEWS IS THEY
WERE OUT OF JAIL FOR CHRISTMAS.
00:18:37.50\00:18:41.46
BUT IN THAT TOWN
WHERE THESE GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:18:41.46\00:18:47.80
WORKERS WERE BEATEN SO
BADLY 279 PEOPLE WERE BAPTIZED.
00:18:47.80\00:18:55.50
MAYBE EVEN SOME OF
THOSE WHO BEAT THEM.
00:18:55.50\00:18:59.10
IT'S THRILLING.
00:18:59.10\00:19:00.16
THE LORD WORKS IN
ALL SORTS OF WAYS.
00:19:00.16\00:19:03.86
YOU HAVE A COUPLE
MORE PICTURES FOR US.
00:19:03.86\00:19:07.60
WHY DON'T WE TAKE
A PEEK AT SOME MORE.
00:19:07.60\00:19:10.70
THIS IS AN
INTERESTING LITTLE STORY.
00:19:10.70\00:19:14.16
THIS GIRL COMES FROM THE AREA OF
NORTHERN INDIA KNOWN AS HIMACHAL
00:19:14.16\00:19:20.20
PRADESH . IT MEANS THE FOOTHILLS
OF THE HIMALAYAN MOUNTAINS.
00:19:24.50\00:19:29.36
IT IS A VERY DEVOUT
PLACE FOR THE HINDU PEOPLE.
00:19:29.36\00:19:34.20
THERE IS A LOT OF
ANIMISM THERE ALSO.
00:19:34.20\00:19:38.63
PEOPLE WORSHIP THE SPIRITS.
00:19:38.63\00:19:40.83
IN FACT, THEY EVEN INVITE THE
SPIRITS TO STAY IN THEIR HOMES.
00:19:40.83\00:19:46.20
IT'S A MOUNTAIN AREA AND AT THIS
TIME OF THE YEAR, IN THE WINTER,
THERE IS SNOW AND IT'S COLD.
00:19:46.20\00:19:52.13
THE PEOPLE INVITE THE
EVIL SPIRITS TO COME INTO THEIR
00:19:52.13\00:19:55.80
HOUSES. IF THEY WANT TO GET
SOMETHING ACCOMPLISHED, MAYBE
SOME WORK DONE WITH A GOVERNMENT
00:19:55.80\00:20:01.10
OFFICE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT
THEY WILL ASK THE EVIL SPIRITS
00:20:01.10\00:20:05.10
TO HELP THEM. IS THAT
SOMETHING THAT'S GOING ON HERE?
00:20:05.10\00:20:07.43
THIS GIRL WAS ONE WHO WAS
FILLED WITH AN EVIL SPIRIT.
00:20:07.43\00:20:11.53
SHE CAME INTO AN ADVENTIST
SABBATH SCHOOL AND STARTED
00:20:11.53\00:20:17.96
SHOUTING. SHE WAS SAYING THAT
ALL THE TROUBLE IN THE WORLD WAS
CAUSED BECAUSE OF JESUS.
00:20:17.96\00:20:24.43
OF COURSE, THE PEOPLE QUIETED
HER DOWN AS BEST THEY COULD.
00:20:24.43\00:20:29.83
THEY GATHERED THE ELDERS AROUND
HER AND PRAYED FOR HER AND SHE
00:20:29.83\00:20:36.43
WAS HEALED. THE
EVIL SPIRIT LEFT HER.
00:20:36.43\00:20:38.20
NOW SHE ATTENDS SABBATH SCHOOL
AND SINGS THE CHRISTIAN SONGS.
00:20:38.20\00:20:43.96
SHE SAYS "IN MY RIGHT MIND I
WILL NEVER ABUSE JESUS AGAIN."
00:20:43.96\00:20:50.43
WE READ ABOUT THAT IN THE BIBLE
BUT TO HEAR A MODERN-DAY STORY
OF THAT IS REALLY PROFOUND.
00:20:50.43\00:20:54.20
YES, IT HAPPENS NOW.
00:20:54.20\00:20:55.86
PRAISE THE LORD FOR HER.
00:20:55.86\00:20:56.73
YOU HAVE SOME MORE
PICTURES ABOUT A CHURCH?
00:20:56.73\00:20:59.10
THE PEOPLE OF INDIA LIKE A
CHURCH TO LOOK LIKE A CHURCH IN
00:20:59.10\00:21:04.80
THEIR MINDS. THEY DON'T
MIND USING A CROSS OVER THERE.
00:21:04.80\00:21:07.16
GOOD, I LIKE THAT.
00:21:07.16\00:21:08.66
YOU'LL SEE THERE ARE CHRISTIANS
AND NONCHRISTIANS IN THE FRONT
00:21:08.66\00:21:13.26
OF THIS PICTURE. SOME OF OUR
ADVENTIST LEADERS AND SOME OF
THE VILLAGE LEADERS.
00:21:13.26\00:21:17.76
THE MAN WITH THE
TURBAN, WOULD HE BE A SIKH?
00:21:17.76\00:21:19.60
HE'S FROM THE SIKH RELIGION.
00:21:19.60\00:21:20.90
THIS BUILDING WAS BUILT ENTIRELY
WITH FUNDS FROM THE LOCAL
00:21:20.90\00:21:27.93
PEOPLE. WE DIDN'T SEND ANY MONEY
OVER THERE FOR THIS BUILDING.
00:21:27.93\00:21:30.16
ISN'T THAT INCREDIBLE.
00:21:30.16\00:21:31.70
THE TOWN COUNCIL APPROVED THE
BUILDING, AND THEY EVEN MADE A
DONATION TOWARD IT.
00:21:31.70\00:21:38.86
ISN'T THAT GREAT.
00:21:38.86\00:21:40.43
I SEE THE STAR
OF DAVID UP THERE.
00:21:40.43\00:21:44.53
I LIKE THAT TOO.
00:21:44.53\00:21:46.60
AND WITH A BELL.
00:21:46.60\00:21:48.63
ISN'T THAT FANTASTIC.
00:21:48.63\00:21:50.36
IN THIS PICTURE YOU SEE THE
WOMEN WASHING EACH OTHERS FEET.
00:21:50.36\00:21:54.60
THEY ARE HAVING COMMUNION.
00:21:54.60\00:21:57.83
WE HAD ANOTHER PICTURE THAT WE
DON'T HAVE AVAILABLE TODAY WHERE
THEY WERE BREAKING THE BREAD AND
00:21:57.83\00:22:04.40
PASSING OUT THE BREAD AND
WINE FOR THE COMMUNION SERVICE.
00:22:04.40\00:22:08.83
FOR AN INDIAN PERSON TO
TOUCH ANOTHER PERSONS FEET IS A
00:22:08.83\00:22:14.90
HUMILIATING THING.
THEY DO IT IN HONOR.
00:22:17.96\00:22:20.36
IF YOU'RE WATCHING A FAMILY AND
AN OLDER PERSON COMES IN, THE
YOUNGER PERSON WILL COME AND BOW
00:22:20.36\00:22:26.43
DOWN AND HOLD THE HANDS
AND TOUCH THE FEET OF THE OLDER
00:22:29.10\00:22:35.56
PERSON. BUT FOR AN OLDER PERSON
TO TOUCH THE FEET OF A YOUNGER
00:22:35.56\00:22:38.80
PERSON, THAT WOULD
TAKE A LOT OF HUMILITY.
00:22:38.80\00:22:41.13
ISN'T THAT INTERESTING HOW
CULTURALLY WE DON'T OFTEN THINK
00:22:41.13\00:22:45.50
ABOUT THAT. IT WAS THAT
WAY WHEN JESUS WAS HERE.
00:22:45.50\00:22:49.00
THE HUMILITY THAT JESUS SHOWED
IN WASHING THE DISCIPLES FEET
AND ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY WERE
00:22:49.00\00:22:55.06
ARGUING AMONG THEMSELVES
OVER WHO WAS GOING TO BE THE
00:22:57.66\00:23:01.23
GREATEST. GOD IS SO GOOD.
00:23:01.23\00:23:03.16
HERE IS A PICTURE OF A
BAPTISM IN JAMMU, KASHMIR .
00:23:03.16\00:23:09.20
THE STATE OF KASHMIR IN INDIA
HAS ABOUT 12 MILLION PEOPLE.
00:23:14.66\00:23:18.60
WHEN I STARTED WITH GOSPEL
OUTREACH LESS THAN TEN YEARS AGO
WE HAD ABOUT A DOZEN SEVENTH-DAY
00:23:18.60\00:23:24.66
ADVENTISTS IN
THE STATE OF KASHMIR.
00:23:27.33\00:23:30.30
TODAY THERE ARE OVER A
THOUSAND SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS.
00:23:30.30\00:23:34.76
HERE IS A BAPTISM THAT TOOK
PLACE JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO IN
THE CITY OF JAMMU .
00:23:34.76\00:23:40.43
I LOVE ALL THE
COLORS OF THEIR SARIS.
00:23:40.43\00:23:42.56
THIS PICTURE IS OF A BAPTISM.
00:23:42.56\00:23:46.36
THIS RIVER RUNS THROUGH THE CITY
OF JAMMU AND IS CALLED THE TAWI
00:23:46.36\00:23:51.63
RIVER . THE TAWI RIVER HAS A DAM
THERE AND HERE THEY ARE AT THE
00:23:51.63\00:23:56.10
FOOT OF THE DAM. IT'S THE DRY
SEASON SO THEY HAD TO FIND SOME
WATER SOMEPLACE FOR A BAPTISM.
00:23:56.10\00:24:01.30
IF THERE SUDDENLY CAME A BIG
RUSH OF WATER THESE PEOPLE WOULD
BE UNDER IT BECAUSE THE WATER
00:24:01.30\00:24:07.03
WOULD RUSH OVER THAT DAM.
00:24:07.03\00:24:08.63
I'M GLAD YOU DESCRIBED
THAT BECAUSE THAT DIDN'T LOOK
00:24:08.63\00:24:11.50
TO ME LIKE A
TRADITIONAL BAPTISMAL TANK.
00:24:11.50\00:24:13.73
IT CERTAINLY ISN'T A
TRADITIONAL BAPTISMAL TANK.
00:24:13.73\00:24:15.96
IT WAS A GOOD PLACE FOR THEM TO
BAPTIZE BECAUSE THE LAST TIME I
VISITED THAT CITY THEY WARNED US
00:24:15.96\00:24:22.03
TO NOT DO ANY MISSIONARY WORK
THERE BECAUSE IT WOULD DISTURB
00:24:24.26\00:24:30.73
THE COMMUNITY AND
THERE MAY BE SOME RIOTS.
00:24:30.73\00:24:32.80
THEY DID WARN YOU ABOUT THAT.
00:24:32.80\00:24:34.50
OH YES.
00:24:34.50\00:24:36.13
THEY DIDN'T COME TO ME THEY CAME
TO THE INDIAN PEOPLE WHO WERE
WITH ME AND WARNED US.
00:24:36.13\00:24:40.16
AND GOD PROTECTED YOU.
00:24:40.16\00:24:42.63
YOU HAVE A COUPLE
MORE SLIDES JAMES.
00:24:42.63\00:24:47.00
THIS COUPLE ARE FARMING
PEOPLE IN NORTHERN INDIA.
00:24:47.00\00:24:51.60
THEY HAD A REAL NICE FAMILY
AND ALL THE THINGS THEY NEEDED.
00:24:51.60\00:24:57.66
THE FATHER AND THE MOTHER BOTH
BECAME ILL AND COULDN'T WORK.
00:25:00.23\00:25:05.73
THE FARM WAS NEGLECTED AND
THEY WERE TERRIBLY DISCOURAGED.
00:25:05.73\00:25:09.16
THE CHILDREN BECAME SICK.
00:25:09.16\00:25:11.50
THEY GOT MEDICAL
HELP THE BEST THEY COULD.
00:25:11.50\00:25:15.36
THEY WENT TO SHRINES AND PLACES
OF WORSHIP TO PRAY AND TRY TO
00:25:15.36\00:25:20.26
GET HEALED. NOTHING HAPPENED.
00:25:20.26\00:25:21.83
THEY WERE TOLD ABOUT THE GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKER IN THEIR TOWN
AND THEY WENT THERE.
00:25:21.83\00:25:26.83
THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER TOLD
THEM TO COME ON SATURDAY MORNING
AT TEN O'CLOCK AND THEY WOULD
00:25:26.83\00:25:32.80
HAVE SPECIAL PRAYER FOR THEM.
00:25:32.80\00:25:34.50
THEY CAME AND THEY WERE HEALED.
00:25:34.50\00:25:37.03
NOW THEY ARE ATTENDING CHURCH
REGULARLY AND LOOKING FORWARD TO
00:25:37.03\00:25:41.40
BEING BAPTIZED. THAT'S
THIS COUPLE RIGHT HERE?
00:25:41.40\00:25:42.63
YES.
00:25:42.63\00:25:43.60
ISN'T THAT FANTASTIC.
00:25:43.60\00:25:45.46
I'M SURE JAMES THERE ARE MORE
AND MORE STORIES THAT WE DON'T
EVEN HAVE A CLUE ABOUT.
00:25:45.46\00:25:50.23
OH YES.
00:25:50.23\00:25:51.43
I HAVE A LIST OF STORIES THAT
SOMEONE SENT ME THIS PAST WEEK.
00:25:51.43\00:25:56.40
WE DON'T HAVE TIME
FOR ALL OF THEM NOW.
00:25:56.40\00:26:00.23
