00:23 WELCOME TO "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS." 00:23 I'M JULIE SANDERS KEYMER FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH. 00:25 WE'RE SO GLAD THAT YOU'VE JOINED US TODAY. 00:27 WE HAVE JAMES CAMPBELL WITH US. 00:29 JAMES, YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE US ON A TOUR OF NEPAL. 00:33 TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT NEPAL. 00:36 WE WERE TALKING AND IN AMERICAN ENGLISH WE SAY NEPAL. 00:43 BUT JAMES, YOU LIVED IN INDIA AND TRAVELED TO NEPAL. 00:50 HELP US WITH THE PRONUNCIATION. 00:53 WELL, I SAY "NAPAL" BECAUSE THE SECOND LETTER IS "E" AND THE SOUND FOR IT IS "A." 01:03 IN ANY OF THESE EASTERN LANGUAGES THE "E" LETTER HAS THE "A" SOUND. 01:16 YOU WOULD KNOW THAT AFTER LIVING THERE. 01:18 YOU LIVED THERE FOR HOW MANY YEARS? 01:20 I DIDN'T LIVE IN NEPAL, BUT I PROBABLY VISITED THERE 15 TIMES BEGINNING ABOUT 1968 AND NOW 01:32 WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH SIX TIMES IN THE LAST EIGHT YEARS. 01:36 TELL US WHAT YOU DO HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH. 01:38 I'M A REGIONAL DIRECTOR. 01:41 OUR DISTRICT IS THE WESTERN PART OF NORTHERN INDIA AND THE COUNTRY OF NEPAL. 01:47 WHAT IS THE MISSION HERE OF GOSPEL OUTREACH? 01:52 WHAT IS THE MISSION OF GOSPEL OUTREACH? 01:53 BIG QUESTION. 01:54 OH BOY, I'LL SAY. 01:56 GOSPEL OUTREACH HAS A SPECIAL CHALLENGE TO BRING THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST GOSPEL 02:06 MESSAGE, THE GOOD NEWS, TO PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T HEARD IT BEFORE AND TO ENTER NEW 02:12 TERRITORIES AND USE LOCAL PEOPLE TO ACCOMPLISH THAT. 02:20 THE LOCAL PEOPLE KNOW THE LANGUAGE, THEY ENJOY THE FOOD. 02:28 I ENJOY INDIAN FOOD AND NEPALI FOO, BUT MY EARS GET RED AND MY EYES RUN FROM THE SPICES. 02:39 I HAVE ENJOYED THEIR FOOD FOR A LONG TIME. 02:46 MY WIFE WHO HAS NEVER LIVED THERE, MY CURRENT WIFE, MAKES SOME NICE INDIAN FOOD FOR ME. 02:54 SO THAT'S THE BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH. 02:57 WITH THE FUNDS THAT ARE RECEIVED FROM PEOPLE WHO DONATE, GOSPEL OUTREACH THEN HIRES LOCAL 03:02 WORKERS IN THE TERRITORY. 03:04 YES. 03:06 GOSPEL OUTREACH SENDS THE STIPEND MONEY TO THE LOCAL MISSIONS IN THE 10/40 WINDOW 03:13 WHICH IS FROM WESTERN AFRICA ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE PHILIPPINES. 03:16 THERE ARE OVER 2000 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS IN THAT TERRITORY RIGHT NOW. 03:23 GOSPEL OUTREACH, EXCEPT FOR A VERY FEW EXCEPTIONS WHERE SOME CONDITIONS MAKE IT NECESSARY, 03:33 ALWAYS SENDS THE FUNDS TO THE LOCAL SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST OFFICE. 03:39 THE LEADERS THERE WILL SELECT THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 03:44 THEY ARE HIRED BY THE MISSION? 03:46 THAT'S RIGHT. 03:47 THEN THEY GIVE THEM SOME TRAINING. 03:50 WE MAY GO AND HELP OUT WITH SOME OF THE TRAINING. 03:53 THEN THEY ASSIGN THEM TO A SPECIAL TERRITORY AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THEIR HOME PLACE SO 04:00 THEY CAN WORK WITH THEIR RELATIVES, THEIR FRIENDS, 04:03 THE PEOPLE THEY KNOW AND LOVE THE BEST. 04:05 TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT NEPAL. 04:09 THE ADVENTIST WORK STARTED IN NEPAL ABOUT 1957 THROUGH SOME GENEROUS PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO 04:18 SEE THE GOSPEL GO TO NEPAL. 04:20 A HOSPITAL WAS STARTED IN NEPAL. 04:23 THE CONDITION THAT THE NEPALI GOVERNMENT PLACED ON THE HOSPITAL AND ITS STAFF WAS THAT 04:31 THEY MUST NOT TELL ANYBODY ABOUT JESUS CHRIST. 04:34 WOW. 04:35 THAT'S PRETTY INTENSE. 04:37 IT WAS VERY INTENSE. 04:38 BUT THE LEADERS BACK THERE SAID WE CAN SHOW WHAT JESUS DID. 04:45 YOU KNOW, I'D RATHER SEE A SERMON THAN HEAR ONE ANY DAY. 04:49 AND IT WASN'T TOO LONG UNTIL THE NEPALI PEOPLE IN THAT LITTLE COMMUNITY STARTED ASKING TO BE 04:57 TOLD ABOUT JESUS. 04:59 WHEN THEY ASK WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? 05:02 MY FIRST VISIT THERE THE CHILDREN WERE LINED UP SINGING THE CHRISTIAN SONGS. 05:08 NOW THOSE CHILDREN WHO WERE SINGING THOSE CHRISTIAN SONGS ARE THE LEADERS OF THE ADVENTIST 05:14 WORK IN NEPAL RIGHT NOW. 05:16 WHAT IS THE RELIGION OF NEPAL? 05:19 NEPAL IS LARGELY HINDU. 05:21 THERE ARE LOTS OF BUDDHISTS THERE TOO AND SOME MUSLIMS AND A GROWING CHRISTIAN POPULATION. 05:29 IN 1957 THERE MAY HAVE BEEN TWO OR THREE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS WHO WERE WORKING IN NEPAL, 05:39 BUT NOW THERE ARE ABOUT 9000 SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHRISTIANS IN NEPAL. 05:47 IN 2011 THERE WERE ABOUT 900 PE0PLE WHO WERE BAPTIZED 05:53 INTO THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST FAITH IN NEPAL. 05:57 PEOPLE ACCEPTING THE LORD JESUS AS THEIR SAVIOR. 06:01 WE NEED TO GIVE A LOT OF CREDIT TO THE MEDICAL WORKERS WHO WENT OVER THERE FROM THE U.S., THE 06:07 EUROPEAN COUNTRIES AND QUITE A LOT FROM SOUTH AMERICA, FROM ARGENTINA, BRAZIL, 06:10 PUERTO RICO AND OTHER PLACES. 06:18 THEY WENT TO SERVE AS PHYSICIANS AND OTHER SUPPORT PEOPLE 06:25 AT THE SCHEER MEMORIAL HOSPITAL IN NEPAL. 06:28 WHAT A WONDERFUL WORK THEY DID. 06:30 ADRA HAS DONE A GREAT WORK IN NEPAL ALSO-- ADVENTIST DEVELOPMENT AND RELIEF AGENCY. 06:34 YES. 06:35 AND MARANATHA HAS BUILT A LEPER COLONY THERE AND SOME OTHER THINGS. 06:38 ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST WORK IS THAT IT'S A LOT OF 06:49 ORGANIZATIONS WORKING TOGETHER TO SHARE THE GOSPEL AND TO STRENGTHEN ONE ANOTHER. 06:54 ISN'T THAT WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT, SHARING THE LOVE OF THE LORD. 06:57 SHARING THE LOVE OF THE LORD AND LOVING ONE ANOTHER. 07:00 YES. 07:01 TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT THE PEOPLE IN THAT COUNTRY. 07:05 ABOUT A THIRD OF THE PEOPLE LIVE IN THE CITY OF KATHMANDU THE CAPITAL OF NEPAL. 07:14 THE REST ARE SCATTERED THROUGH THE HILLS. 07:20 THERE ARE MOUNTAINS EVERYWHERE IN NEPAL. 07:26 IS IT BEAUTIFUL? 07:28 YES, BUT LIVING CONDITIONS ARE DIFFICULT. 07:34 THERE ARE SOME ROADS. 07:37 NO RAILROAD IN NEPAL. 07:41 BECAUSE IT'S SO MOUNTAINOUS? 07:45 YES. 07:45 NEPAL IS LANDLOCKED SO IT HAS NO SEAPORT. 07:53 IT'S KIND OF SANDWICHED BETWEEN INDIA AND CHINA. 08:00 THE PEOPLE LIVE IN LITTLE VILLAGES SCATTERED OVER THE HILLS. 08:04 THEY GROW A LITTLE RICE AND WHEAT AND POTATOES. 08:08 WHAT? 08:09 YES, WINTER WHEAT IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS. 08:13 THEY HAVE AN AREA CALLED THE TERAI OR THE LOWER HILLS 08:21 AND THERE WILL BE RICE FIELDS IN THOSE AREAS. 08:25 GOSPEL OUTREACH HAS "BOOTS ON THE GROUND" IN NEPAL. 08:29 THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS ARE DOING THEIR WORK. 08:34 THERE ARE ABOUT 40 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS AND PROBABLY TEN OTHER LAY WORKERS WHO ARE 08:42 SPONSORED BY OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. 08:45 THERE ARE SOME OTHER GROUPS WHO ARE WORKING THERE AND DOING A GOOD WORK LIKE LAYMEN'S 08:49 MINISTRIES, ADVENTIST FRONTIER MISSIONS AND OTHERS AS WELL WHO ARE VERY ACTIVE. 08:58 PEOPLE HAVE COME FROM KOREA AND HELD EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS IN NEPAL AND BUILT SOME CHURCHES. 09:06 YOU HAVE SOME PICTURES TO SHOW US AND I'M EXCITED TO SEE THESE. 09:13 I'M VERY INTERESTED IN NEPAL. 09:16 LET'S SEE THE PICTURES YOU HAVE. 09:19 WE HAVE A PICTURE OF SOME GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 09:25 THE MAN WITH THE GUITAR IS A FELLOW BY THE NAME OF DUNBAR MAGAR. 09:33 HE OWNED A RICE MILL. 09:37 WITH PEOPLE EATING RICE, RICE IS THE STAPLE FOOD. 09:40 EVERYBODY NEEDS TO HAVE THEIR RICE HULLED TO PREPARE IT FOR COOKING. 09:46 HE HAD A RICE MILL. 09:47 IN NEPAL AN INTERESTING THING IS HAPPENI9NG. 09:53 ELECTRICITY IS IN SHORT SUPPLY. 09:55 DOES IT GO ON AND OFF? 09:59 YES AND IT'S MORE OFF THAN ON. 10:03 IT BECAME A VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN THERE WAS A BIG FLOOD AND WASHED 10:10 OUT THEIR MAIN POWER DAM. 10:12 SINCE THAT TIME IT HAS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT. 10:16 MAGAR BOUGHT A GENERATOR TO RUN HIS RICE MILL AND HE COULD SUPPLY POWER TO THE WHOLE TOWN. 10:24 HE WAS ASKED TO BE A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER. 10:28 HE WAS EARNING GOOD MONEY WITH HIS RICE MILL. 10:32 AS A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER HE GOT A LITTLE STIPEND, 10:37 BUT HE AND HIS WIFE ACCEPTED THAT CHALLENGE. 10:40 THEY WERE SENT TO A TOWN WHERE THEY DIDN'T KNOW ANYBODY. 10:46 THE PEOPLE DIDN'T WANT THEM THERE. 10:49 A KIND LANDLORD RENTED THEM A ROOM, 10:55 AND THAT LANDLORD WAS PERSECUTED FOR RENTING A ROOM TO THE CHRISTIANS. 11:01 WHAT WERE THEY GOING TO DO THERE? 11:05 THEY STARTED DOING A LITTLE HEALTH MINISTRY HELPING THE PEOPLE WITH THEIR ILLNESSES. 11:10 THEN THE WIFE STARTED TEACHING THE CHILDREN BIBLE STORIES 11:17 AND BIBLE SONGS AND THE PEOPLE JUST LOVE THEM NOW. 11:22 SOME PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY BEEN BAPTIZED IN THAT TOWN. 11:24 QUITE A LARGE NUMBER OF OTHERS ARE READY FOR BAPTISM. 11:29 WHAT A COMMITMENT. 11:30 NOW I HAVE TO ASK, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE RICE MILL? 11:31 I THINK HIS BROTHER IS RUNNING IT. 11:34 SO THAT'S STILL FUNCTIONING. 11:35 WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A STORY ABOUT DILMAYA AND JOSHUA. 11:43 THIS IS DILMAYA, THE LADY. 11:45 SHE IS A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT AND JOSHUA IS A COLLEGE STUDENT. 11:52 DILMAYA WALKS TWO HOURS TO HER HIGH SCHOOL AND JOSHUA WALKS FOUR HOURS TO HIS COLLEGE. 12:02 BUT BEFORE THEY GO IN THE MORNING AND AFTER THEY COME BACK IN THE EVENING THEY ARE 12:07 INSTRUCTORS IN TWO DIFFERENT CHILD LITERACY CENTERS. 12:13 NOW GOSPEL OUTREACH HAS A WONDERFUL PLAN OF PROVIDING STIPENDS FOR PEOPLE LIKE THIS TO 12:20 TEACH THE VILLAGE CHILDREN HOW TO READ AND WRITE, DO SIMPLE MATHEMATICS, 12:27 GIVE THEM THE STORY OF JESUS, TEACH THEM THE CHRISTIAN SONGS 12:31 AND TO HELP THEM IN SO MANY WAYS. 12:37 THESE TWO DO THAT. 12:40 THE NEXT SLIDE HERE IS THE BUILDING WHERE DILMAYA DOES HER TEACHING. 12:47 IT'S UP ON STILTS BECAUSE IN OLDEN TIMES THERE WERE PROBABLY PIGS UNDER THERE. 12:56 BUT NOT NOW. 12:57 WE WANT TO INVITE PEOPLE WHO ARE WATCHING, IF THEY ARE ENCOURAGED ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING AT GOSPEL 13:05 OUTREACH, TO BE A PART OF OUR OUTREACH. 13:10 YOU CAN DO THAT IF YOU'RE WANTING TO HELP PEOPLE LIKE JOSHUA AND DILMAYA WHO ARE 13:14 HELPING OTHER PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT CHRIST. 13:17 YOU TOO CAN GET INVOLVED BY SENDING IN YOUR DONATION TO GOSPEL OUTREACH. 13:20 WE'LL GIVE YOU SOME INFORMATION ON WHATEVER IS THE EASIEST WAY FOR YOU TO CONNECT WITH US. 14:08 AND REQUEST OUR ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS NEWSLETTER THAT COMES OUT EACH MONTH. 14:13 IT TELLS YOU ALL SORTS OF GREAT INFORMATION THAT IS GOING ON HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH AND YOU 14:19 CAN FEEL REALLY CONNECTED ON WHAT'S HAPPENING IN NEPAL FOR EXAMPLE. 14:24 YOU CAN ASK FOR THIS FREE COPY OF OUR NEWSLETTER. 14:27 IF YOU ARE IN CANADA, THE PHONE NUMBER IS 250-545-2212. 14:32 JAMES, YOU HAVE SOME MORE PICTURES TO SHOW US. 14:41 LET'S GO BACK HERE. 14:45 THIS PICTURE IS OF A LADY WHO BECAME A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHRISTIAN FROM A HINDU FAMILY 14 14:53 YEARS AGO. 14:55 SHE IS THE LEADING LADY IN HER TOWN. 14:59 SHE IS HEAD OF THE WOMEN'S COUNCIL. 15:01 WHENEVER THERE IS ANY ISSUE THAT THE WOMEN NEED HELP WITH SHE WILL GO TO THE GOVERNMENT 15:06 OFFICES OR MAKE THE APPEAL IN BEHALF OF THE WOMEN OF THAT TOWN. 15:10 SHE IS THE FIRST LADY OF THAT TOWN, A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST LADY. 15:17 HERE IS A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO WERE BAPTIZED JUST RECENTLY. 15:23 IN THE FRONT IN THE WHITE SHIRT IS THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER 15:27 WHO PREPARED THESE PEOPLE FOR BAPTISM. 15:30 TO HIS LEFT ON THE FRONT ROW KNEELING DOWN IN THE WHITE SHIRT IS SAMIR. 15:40 IN THE GOSPEL OUTREACH NEWSLETTER ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS FOR JANUARY 2012 IS 15:45 SAMIR'S STORY UNDER THE FIELD NOTES. 15:46 SAMIR HAS BEEN BAPTIZED NOW. 15:48 HE WAS A STUDENT IN DILMAYA'S ADVENTIST CHILD LITERACY CENTER. 15:56 THE WOMAN WE SAW THE PICTURE OF EARLIER THAT WALKED THE TWO HOURS? 16:11 THAT'S RIGHT. 16:13 THIS IS SAMIR'S GRANDFATHER, THE MAN IN THE HAT. 16:23 HE HAS HAD A STROKE, AND HE WANTS TO BE BAPTIZED. 16:32 TO GET TO A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN HAVE A BAPTISM THEY HAVE TO WALK AN HOUR AND A HALF OVER MOUNTAIN 16:42 TRAILS TO GET TO ENOUGH WATER TO BE BAPTIZED. 16:46 HE WANTS TO BE CARRIED OVER THOSE MOUNTAIN TRAILS TO BE BAPTIZED. 16:51 ISN'T THAT AMAZING. 16:56 IN WESTERN CULTURE WE DON'T HAVE A CLUE ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT DO WE. 16:59 THAT'S RIGHT, HOW DIFFICULT IT IS. 17:01 YOU'LL SEE IN THE PICTURE HE WAS SITTING UP. 17:05 HIS FAMILY MEMBERS SAY THAT'S A MIRACLE. 17:07 WHEN THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS AND PASTORS CAME TO PRAY FOR HIM THEY PRAYED AND HE SAT UP. 17:17 THE LORD IS HONORING THE FAITH OF THOSE PEOPLE. 17:20 THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER IS IN THE CENTER NEAR THE THATCHED ROOF OF THAT HOUSE. 17:27 HE IS ON FIRE. 17:30 HE HAS 78 PEOPLE READY FOR BAPTISM. 17:34 THEY WANTED TO GIVE THEM A LITTLE MORE INSTRUCTION BEFORE BEING BAPTIZED. 17:42 THIS YOUNG MAN'S WIFE STARTED ATTENDING 17:45 SOME MEETINGS CONDUCTED BY THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 17:51 SHE ACCEPTED JESUS AND BECAME BAPTIZED. 17:54 NOW HE WANTS TO BE BAPTIZED. 17:55 HE IS BLIND AND CRIPPLED. 17:59 THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER HAS ARRANGED FOR HIM TO GET SOME MEDICAL CARE AND FOR HIM TO HAVE 18:06 A PLACE TO LIVE CLOSE TO SOME MEDICAL CARE SO HE IS GETTING SOME HELP. 18:13 THEY ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO BAPTIZING THIS BLIND YOUNG MAN WHO WHEN JESUS COMES WILL BE 18:19 ABLE TO SEE AGAIN. 18:21 LOOK AT THE SMILES ON THOSE PEOPLE'S FACES. 18:26 THE MAN IN THE WHITE SHIRT IS DILLIRAM. 18:29 IT HAS A GOOD MEANING TOO. 18:33 WHAT DOES IT MEAN? 18:35 " RAM" OF COURSE IS A GENERIC NAME FOR GOD AND "DILLI" MEANS ONE WHO IS HAPPY WITH HIS GOD. 18:46 WE'LL USE THAT IN A CHRISTIAN CONTEXT. 18:50 "DILL" IS HEART SO HIS HEART GOES OUT IN APPRECIATION TO HIS GOD. 18:57 THE MAN IN THE BLUE AND WHITE STRIPPED SHIRT IS THE TREASURER OF THE ADVENTIST WORK IN NEPAL. 19:04 THE LADY IN THE PICTURE, IS THAT DILMAYA? 19:11 I'M NOT SURE. 19:14 DILLIRAM WAS A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER. 19:19 HE DID SUCH GOOD WORK THAT HE IS NOW A REGULAR SEVENTH-DAY 19:26 ADVENTIST PASTOR AND EVANGELIST IN NEPAL. 19:30 CAN YOU GIVE US AN IDEA OF WHAT IT'S LIKE FOR THESE PEOPLE TO GO FROM THE HINDU RELIGION TO 19:37 BECOMING A CHRISTIAN AND A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHRISTIAN? 19:42 IS THAT DIFFICULT FOR THEIR FAMILIES TO UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULD ACCEPT A DIFFERENT GOD? 19:48 YES IT IS. 19:49 IT HAS SOME REAL CHALLENGES TO IT. 19:54 WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY IS THAT THE PEOPLE OF NORTHERN INDIA AND NEPAL, OF ALL INDIA OF COURSE, 20:01 ARE VERY DEVOUT RELIGIOUS PEOPLE. 20:05 THEY WORSHIP. 20:07 WHAT WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO GET ACROSS TO THEM IS THAT WE'RE GIVING THEM A HOPE AND A WAY OF 20:16 LIFE AND THAT THE SPIRITUAL VALUES THEY HAD BEFORE AND WHICH THEY WERE VERY TRUE TO, 20:26 NOW THEY WILL BE VERY TRUE TO THE ADVENTIST BELIEFS ALSO. 20:29 BECAUSE THEY HAVE A LIVING GOD NOW. 20:31 WE HAVE SOME MORE ABOUT THAT IF WE GET TIME HERE. 20:34 THIS IS THE SEWING MACHINE. 20:36 LOOK AT THAT. 20:44 WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING HOW THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS CAN PREPARE PEOPLE WHO WILL BE 20:53 BLESSED BY THE LORD AS THEY RETURN THEIR TITHES AND OFFERINGS. 20:57 AND THEY WILL BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THEIR PASTOR RATHER THAN HAVING TO HAVE MONEY COME TO SUPPORT 21:05 THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER. 21:07 WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE WITH THIS WOMAN? 21:08 SHE IS GOING TO BE SEWING GARMENTS FOR THE PEOPLE OF HER VILLAGE. 21:14 ISN'T THAT FANTASTIC. 21:15 I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S BRIGHTER-HER SMILE OR THE SEWING MACHINE. 21:17 I THINK IT'S HER SMILE. 21:20 SHE IS THRILLED WITH THAT SEWING MACHINE. 21:23 THAT'S A FANTASTIC PHOTO. 21:24 BLESS HER HEART. 21:25 HERE IS THE TREASURER CONDUCTING ANOTHER BAPTISM. 21:35 I DOUBT THAT STREAM OR RIVER IS VERY WARM. 21:40 OH NO, IT COMES OUT OF THE HIMALAYAN MOUNTAINS. 21:44 AND YOU SAY "HI-MAL-AYAN". 21:46 WE'RE BACK TO PROPER PRONUNCIATION. 21:50 WE USUALLY SAY "HIM-A-LAYAN" AND IN ENGLISH THAT'S ALRIGHT. 21:56 IF YOU SEE THE SIGNS THEY HAVE ON THEIR LETTERS YOU'LL KNOW HOW TO PRONOUNCE HIMALAYAN. 22:03 THANK YOU FOR THAT. 22:04 HERE THEY ARE HAVING THE FOOT WASHING. 22:09 TO ME THIS IS AN ILLUSTRATION OF HOW OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS AND THE PASTORS ARE TEACHING THE 22:17 PEOPLE TO BE REAL SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHRISTIANS. 22:21 BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN TAUGHT THAT THIS IS THE WAY JESUS DID IT AND THEY ARE WILLING TO DO IT 22:28 THAT WAY TOO. 22:29 TO WASH EACH OTHERS FEET. 22:30 HERE IS DILLIRAM AT A CHURCH THAT HE HELPED TO RAISE UP AS A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER AND 22:39 ANOTHER GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER WORKING IN THAT AREA. 22:43 THE PEOPLE WHO ARE THERE NOW HAVE A NICE LITTLE CHURCH IN WHICH TO WORSHIP. 22:47 IN NEPAL GOD IS BLESSING IN A WONDERFUL WAY. 22:54 ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CHRISTIANS HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF IN INDIA IS THAT THEY APPEAL TO 23:03 THE LOWEST OF THE LOW. 23:05 THAT'S A COMPLIMENT IN A WAY BUT WHAT THE NONCHRISTIANS ARE SAYING IS, 23:12 YOU'RE ASKING THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER TO BECOME CHRISTIANS. 23:18 BUT IN NEPAL MOST OF THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHRISTIANS HAVE COME FROM THE HIGHER CLASS. 23:27 IT HAS IT'S CHALLENGES BECAUSE THEY ARE PEOPLE WHO ACCOMPLISH THINGS, 23:32 PEOPLE WHO GET THINGS DONE. 23:33 THEY HAVE SOME AMBITION AND GUMPTION. 23:35 THE PEOPLE OF INDIA DO TOO BUT THEY HAVE A LITTLE HEAD START. 23:41 WHAT'S THE POPULATION OF NEPAL? 23:43 IT'S A LOT LESS OBVIOUSLY THAN INDIA. 23:45 THE PERCENTAGE OF THE PEOPLE IN INDIA WHO ARE SO MUCH IN NEED, DO TO THE VOLUME OF PEOPLE, 23:53 I DON'T SEE HOW YOU CAN COMPARE THAT. 23:56 YOU CAN'T REALLY. 23:57 WE'VE HAD ALL OUR SLIDES. 23:59 WHAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO APPEAL TO THE VIEWERS OF "ADVENTURES IN 24:05 MISSIONS" ON BEHALF OF NEPAL? 24:07 LET'S JUST KEEP THE WORK GOING IN NEPAL BECAUSE NOW IS A MOMENT OF OPPORTUNITY. 24:13 THE COMMUNISTS FOUGHT THE PEOPLE OF NEPAL FOR 15 YEARS IN THE COUNTRYSIDE. 24:23 THEY HAVE COME INTO THE CAPITAL CITY AND NOW ARE THE GOVERNMENT OF NEPAL. 24:28 THEY HAVE DECLARED NEPAL TO BE A SECULAR STATE. 24:32 IT MEANS ALL RELIGION SHOULD BE RESPECTED. 24:35 SO CHRISTIANITY HAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY AT THE PRESENT TIME IN NEPAL. 24:41 HOW LONG THAT OPPORTUNITY IS GOING TO LAST WE DON'T KNOW. 24:46 BUT IT'S THERE RIGHT NOW AND THANK THE LORD GOSPEL OUTREACH SUPPORTERS ARE SENDING GIFTS TO 24:54 HELP OUT WITH THE WORK IN NEPAL. 24:57 IT IS MOST REWARDING TO SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING. 25:02 THANK YOU JAMES FOR BRINGING THESE PICTURES BACK BECAUSE FOR US WHO GIVE DONATIONS TO GOSPEL 25:07 OUTREACH, FOR EXAMPLE, SOMETIMES WE DON'T KNOW WHERE ALL THAT MONEY GOES. 25:11 BUT TO BE ABLE TO READ THE ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS NEWSLETTER THAT CAN COME TO YOU 25:16 AND TO SEE THE PICTURES OF THESE PEOPLE IN INDIA AND NEPAL WHERE JAMES IS THE REGIONAL DIRECTOR 25:22 OF HIS AREA, IT'S EXCITING TO SEE. 25:25 WE WANT TO INVITE YOU AND ASK YOU TO BE INVOLVED IN GOSPEL OUTREACH. 25:29 YOU CAN BE INVOLVED AND LEARN MORE BY GOING TO OUR WEBSITE WWW.GOAIM.ORG 25:35 <http://WWW.GOAIM.ORG> AND YOU'LL FIND ALL SORTS OF INFORMATION AND WAYS THAT YOU 25:38 CAN DONATE FOR PEOPLE LIKE DILLIRAM. 25:41 AND JAMES, YOU HAVE SOMETHING, AS WE'RE GETTING READY TO CLOSE, TO SHARE WITH THE VIEWERS. 25:49 YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR MORE ABOUT "ONE MILLION FOR JESUS." 25:55 THIS IS A NEW PROGRAM AT GOSPEL OUTREACH TO ENHANCE WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE, 26:02 TO BUILD ON WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED. 26:06 YOU SEE, GOSPEL OUTREACH HAS ABOUT 2100 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS IN THOSE 50 COUNTRIES. 26:13 WE WANT TO ADD ANOTHER 1200. 26:16 PRAISE THE LORD. 26:17 DURING THE THREE YEARS, 2013, 2014, 2015, IF THE LORD GIVES US TIME, 26:26 WE'D LIKE TO HAVE A MILLION NEW MEMBERS BAPTIZED IN THAT TIME. 26:30 WONDERFUL. 26:32 YOU TOO CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT "ONE MILLION FOR JESUS" BY GIVING US A PHONE CALL AT 26:39 509-525-2951 AND FIND OUT HOW YOU CAN BE INVOLVED. 26:44 YOU CAN ALSO GO TO OUR WEB ADDRESS 26:54 JAMES CAMPBELL, IT'S BEEN LOVELY HAVING YOU HERE ON "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS." 26:57 THANK YOU. 26:58 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH US HERE. 27:00 I'M JULIE SANDERS KEYMER FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. 27:03 [CLOSING MUSIC.] |
