00:22 WELCOME TO "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS." 00:23 I'M JULIE SANDERS KEYMER AT GOSPEL OUTREACH. 00:24 THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. 00:26 TODAY WE HAVE JAMES CAMPBELL WITH US. 00:28 JAMES, WE ARE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT AN AREA OF "REACHING HIGHER." 00:33 I USE THAT TERM BECAUSE THE AREA OF THE WORLD YOU ARE GOING TO BE SHARING WITH US HAS REALLY TALL 00:38 MOUNTAINS AND HOW WE CAN REACH HIGH JUST LIKE THOSE MOUNTAINS. 00:40 WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT TIBET AND THE GOSPEL GOING TO TIBET. 00:44 THE AVERAGE ELEVATION IN TIBET IS 16 THOUSAND FEET OR 4900 METERS. 00:54 WOW! 00:55 THAT'S TALL. 00:58 JUST THINKING ABOUT THAT I'M ALREADY NEEDING MORE OXYGEN. 01:03 THAT'S RIGHT. 01:04 SO YOU ARE INVOLVED WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH. 01:08 YOU'RE ONE OF THE REGIONAL DIRECTORS. 01:10 TELL US WHERE YOUR REGION IS. 01:11 MY REGION IS THE WESTERN PART OF THE NORTHERN INDIA UNION AND THE COUNTRY OF NEPAL. 01:18 WE ARE REACHING OVER JUST A LITTLE BIT INTO CHINA/TIBET. 01:23 WONDERFUL. 01:25 AND WE HAVE PERMISSION OF THE CHINA UNION MISSION TO DO THAT. 01:29 THE MISSION OF GOSPEL OUTREACH-- WE HAVE SEVERAL SCRIPTURES THAT COME TO MIND. 01:35 YES. 01:36 WE'RE LIVING IN A TIME WHEN JESUS IS GOING TO COME SOON. 01:42 THE APOSTLE PETER TALKED ABOUT HASTENING THE COMING. 01:48 AND MATTHEW 24:14 SAYS THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM SHALL BE PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD FOR A 01:55 WITNESS UNTO ALL NATIONS THEN THE END WILL COME. 01:59 YOU KNOW, THAT'S NOT JUST A PROPHECY, IT'S A PROMISE THAT WHEN WE DO OUR PART AND GET THE 02:07 GOSPEL TO ALL THE WORLD, OF COURSE IT'S THE LORD'S WORK BUT WE HAVE A LITTLE PART IN IT, 02:11 THEN JESUS IS GOING TO COME. 02:13 AND THAT'S THE JOY OF SHARING WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE 02:15 FOR EACH OF US THAT WE WANT TO SHARE WITH OTHER PEOPLE. 02:18 AND THE THREE ANGELS MESSAGES. 02:19 YOU KNOW, WE TALK ABOUT THE THIRD ANGEL'S MESSAGE. 02:23 THE FIRST ANGEL'S MESSAGE IS THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM SHALL BE PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD TO 02:32 EVERY NATION, KINDRED, TONGUE AND PEOPLE. 02:35 AND THAT'S THE GOAL HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH TO DO THAT. 02:39 WE ARE LOOKING AT A CERTAIN SECTION OF THE GLOBE. 02:42 WE JUST SAW A PICTURE OF THE GLOBE AND THE LORD'S HANDS AS WE ENVISION THAT. 02:46 WE'RE LOOKING AT THE 10/40 WINDOW. 02:49 THE 10/40 WINDOW IS 10 DEGREES NORTH OF THE EQUATOR TO 40 DEGREES NORTH OF THE EQUATOR. 02:55 THAT IS A BAND THAT COVERS A MAJOR PORTION OF THE WORLD FROM WEST AFRICA RIGHT THROUGH TO THE 03:03 PHILIPPINES INCLUDING ALL THE ARAB COUNTRIES, INDIA, NEPAL, SOUTHEAST ASIA, 03:12 PART OF CHINA AND SO ON. 03:14 IT'S A BIG AREA WITH OVER TWO BILLION PEOPLE. 03:20 JUST LIKE THE MOUNTAINS THAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT, WE CAN LOOK AT THE MOUNTAIN AND THINK OH MY, 03:23 HOW AM I GOING TO GET TO THE TOP OF THAT. 03:26 WE CAN ALSO THINK OH MY, HOW IN THE WORLD ARE WE GOING TO REACH ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE. 03:29 BUT THAT'S WHAT THE LORD IS HELPING HERE WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH TO DO. 03:33 HE HAS GIVEN US AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A LITTLE PART IN IT. 03:37 THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS WORKING IN THOSE AREAS. 03:40 WE ARE SO PRIVILEGED HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH AND FOR THOSE WHO SEND IN THEIR GIFTS. 03:49 THEY ARE ALL A PART OF THIS WORK. 03:52 WHY DON'T YOU TAKE US ON A LITTLE TRIP JAMES. 03:54 YOU HAVE SOME PICTURES TO SHARE WITH US ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH IN THE AREA OF YOUR REGION. 03:59 WE'RE GOING TO START OUT WITH A LITTLE DISPLAY THAT I HAD FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH WHEN I VISITED 04:06 THE ALASKA CAMP MEETING IN PALMER, ALASKA IN JULY 2011. 04:13 THAT WAS A REAL PRIVILEGE. 04:16 THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN ABOUT EIGHT O'CLOCK IN THE EVENING, 04:18 BUT THE SUN WAS STILL SHINING AT 11:30. 04:22 I WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE OUR VIEWERS TO INVITE SOMEONE FROM GOSPEL OUTREACH TO COME AND 04:34 SHARE MISSION STORIES IN THEIR SABBATH SCHOOL OR A SHORT SEGMENT OF THEIR WORSHIP SERVICE 04:41 OR TAKE THE WHOLE WORSHIP SERVICE. 04:43 IF THERE IS SOME CHURCH THAT WOULD LIKE TO HAVE GOSPEL OUTREACH 04:45 DO A WORSHIP SERVICE WE CAN DO THAT. 04:47 IN ANY PART OF THE U.S. 04:49 WE CAN FIND SOMEBODY WHO CAN GO THERE OR ANY PART OF CANADA. 04:52 WE'LL HAVE A LITTLE DISPLAY LIKE THIS AND COPIES OF THE LATEST MISSION STORIES AND TELLING THE 05:01 STORIES FROM OUR OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. 05:04 WE'LL GIVE THE VIEWERS SOME CONTACT INFORMATION FOR THAT A LITTLE BIT LATER. 05:10 WE ALSO HAVE MISSION STORIES ON DVD SO YOU CAN PLAY THEM IN YOUR SABBATH SCHOOLS. 05:17 JUST WRITE IN OR PHONE INTO GOSPEL OUTREACH AND GET THAT MATERIAL. 05:23 JAMES, YOU'RE GOING TO SOME BEAUTIFUL PLACES, ALASKA, TIBET. 05:28 WE'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO GO TO ALASKA AND WE DROVE THERE THIS YEAR. 05:34 WE SAW ANIMALS AND MOUNTAINS AND BEAUTIFUL SCENERY. 05:38 BUT THE BIGGEST THING WAS THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE THERE. 05:41 ISN'T THAT THE TRUTH. 05:44 GOD IS DOING GREAT THINGS IN ALASKA. 05:48 I MET A COUPLE IN ALASKA WHO SPEND SIX MONTHS OF THE YEAR ON A LITTLE ISLAND IN THE BERING 05:59 SEA BETWEEN ALASKA AND RUSSIA, CLOSER TO RUSSIA. 06:03 IT'S AMERICAN TERRITORY BUT VERY CLOSE TO RUSSIA, SIBERIA. 06:07 THEY HAVE THEIR MISSION ON THAT ISLAND FOR THE ESKIMO PEOPLE. 06:13 WHEN THEY SAW WHAT GOSPEL OUTREACH WAS DOING THEY SAID 06:16 THEY WANTED TO SUPPORT GOSPEL OUTREACH. 06:19 WHAT THEY HAVE DONE IS SIGN UP FOR $150.00 A MONTH TO BE DEDUCTED FROM THEIR CHECKING 06:27 ACCOUNT BY GOSPEL OUTREACH. 06:30 EVEN REACHING CLEAR OUT THERE, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE GIVING. 06:34 THEY ARE DOING SUCH A WONDERFUL WORK FOR THE LORD IN SUCH AN IMPORTANT AREA AND THEN THEY 06:40 TURN AROUND AND SUPPORT GOSPEL OUTREACH TOO. 06:43 THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. 06:44 LET'S KEEP GOING HERE AND SHARE WITH US. 06:48 THESE ARE THE FIGURES OF THE POPULATION OF THE WORLD ON JANUARY 2, 06:58 2012 AT ABOUT 10 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING. 07:05 THE ESTIMATED WORLD POPULATION WAS 7 BILLION 13 MILLION 93 THOUSAND 305. 07:11 AND THAT CHANGES EVERY TWO SECONDS. 07:14 IT IS AMAZING. 07:16 YOU CAN SEE THERE WERE 149 THOUSAND PLUS BIRTHS THAT DAY AND 63 THOUSAND DEATHS SO THE 07:28 NET POPULATION GROWTH FOR THAT DAY WAS 85 THOUSAND PEOPLE. 07:33 I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SEEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. 07:36 THIS IS FASCINATING. 07:37 BIRTHS IN A YEAR 512 THOUSAND AND DEATHS 218 THOUSAND SO THERE IS A NET POPULATION GROWTH FOR 07:49 THE YEAR OF 293 THOUSAND PEOPLE. 07:54 WOW! 07:56 I'M KIND OF SPEECHLESS. 08:03 IT'S STAGGERING. 08:07 IT COULD BE DISCOURAGING TO THINK WELL, THE GOSPEL IS GOING A LITTLE BIT SLOWER THAN THAT. 08:14 BUT GOD IS WORKING AND EVERY ONE OF THESE NEW BIRTHS IS A CANDIDATE FOR GOD'S KINGDOM. 08:20 THAT'S TRUE. 08:21 THAT'S NOT OUR PROBLEM. 08:23 IT'S THE LORD'S PROBLEM, AND HE HAS GIVEN US THE PRIVILEGE OF HAVING A LITTLE PART IN HELPING 08:29 TO REACH THOSE PEOPLE WITH THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS. 08:31 ABSOLUTELY. 08:33 NOW TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT THE "ONE MILLION FOR JESUS." 08:36 THIS IS A NEW INITIATIVE THAT IS HAPPENING HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH AND YOU HAVE A NIFTY 08:42 BROCHURE TO SHARE WITH US. 08:44 THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS FOCUSING, JUST LIKE THE RED ON THE COVER WITH THE CROSS, 08:47 ON JESUS. 08:48 I'D LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING BEFORE WE TALK ABOUT THIS. 08:51 THIS IS A VERY NICE BROCHURE AND IT WAS PRINTED FREE FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH. 08:56 A LOVELY DONATION FROM A VERY LOVELY COMPANY. 08:59 YES. 09:00 THEY HAVE DONE A BEAUTIFUL JOB OF IT. 09:02 THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT GOSPEL OUTREACH ARE LARGELY PEOPLE WHO TAKE GOOD CARE OF THEIR MONEY. 09:08 I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT GOSPEL OUTREACH TAKES GOOD CARE OF THE MONEY HERE TOO. 09:14 EVERY ONE OF THE WORKERS HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH, AND THERE ARE A RAFT OF WORKERS HERE, 09:21 RECEIVES NO SALARY. 09:22 IT'S ALL A GIFT TO GOD FROM THE HEART. 09:26 TO SAY THANK YOU. 09:27 YES. 09:28 WELL, "ONE MILLION FOR JESUS." 09:31 WHAT'S THIS ABOUT? 09:33 TELL US PLEASE. 09:35 IN THE PAST FEW YEARS GOSPEL OUTREACH HAS HELPED TO BRING IN OVER 600 THOUSAND PEOPLE INTO 09:44 THE ADVENTIST FAITH. 09:46 BUT GOSPEL OUTREACH FEELS THAT A LOT OF OUR SUPPORTERS ARE SAYING THE WORK HAS TO BE FINISHED NOW. 09:53 LET'S GET BUSY AND DO IT. 09:55 WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? 09:57 HERE IS SOMETHING THAT GOSPEL OUTREACH IS CHALLENGED WITH, TO ADD ONE MILLION NEW MEMBERS IN 10:08 THREE YEARS--2013, 2014, 2015. 10:13 JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO THIS INFORMATION WAS PREPARED. 10:17 BEFORE IT WAS ANNOUNCED, BEFORE IT WENT TO PRESS, PEOPLE STARTED SENDING IN DONATIONS FOR IT. 10:24 I LIKE THAT! 10:25 I KNOW ONE DONATION THAT CAME IN FOR TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. 10:30 THAT IS GOING TO OPEN WORK IN FIVE NEW CITIES IN NORTHERN INDIA. 10:36 THANK YOU TO WHOEVER GAVE THAT. 10:38 YES. 10:40 AND THERE ARE GOING TO BE TEN NEW GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS WORKING IN THOSE FIVE CITIES. 10:46 IN FACT, THEY HAVE ALREADY STARTED. 10:49 ISN'T THAT NEAT HOW THE RIPPLE EFFECT HAPPENS TO SHARE CHRIST WITH OTHER PEOPLE. 10:55 I THINK IT SHOWS THAT WHEN WE GET EXCITED ABOUT SOMETHING , GOD IS ALREADY DOING IT. 11:02 ISN'T THAT THE TRUTH. 11:04 LET'S LET THE VIEWERS KNOW HOW THEY CAN GET INVOLVED WITH THIS. 11:08 YOU CAN SEND IN A DONATION. 11:10 WE'LL SHOW YOU SOME MORE PICTURES AND YOU CAN SEE FIRSTHAND WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH 11:14 GOSPEL OUTREACH DONATIONS THAT YOU ARE GIVING. 11:16 WE WANT TO SAY "THANK YOU." 11:18 IF YOU HAVE GIVEN TO GOSPEL OUTREACH AND IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON GIVING, 11:20 WE WANT TO SAY "THANK YOU" SO MUCH. 11:22 AS YOU HAVE HEARD FROM JAMES, PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY GIVEN EVEN BEFORE WE HAVE STARTED THE 11:26 INITIATIVE HERE. 11:27 HERE ARE SOME WAYS TO GET IN TOUCH WITH US AND TO SEND IN YOUR DONATION. 11:30 THIS IS THE CONTACT INFORMATION FOR YOU. 12:01 THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS YOU CAN DONATE. 12:04 IF YOU CALL YOU CAN FIND THE VARIOUS OPTIONS FOR YOU. 12:11 ALL OF OUR ADMINISTRATION STAFF DONATE THEIR TIME, AND WE WANT TO SAY "THANK YOU" TO THE 12:20 VOLUNTEERS AS WELL. 12:33 AS A THANK YOU TO YOU WE WANT TO INVITE YOU TO BE PART OF OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH FAMILY AND WE 12:38 WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE COMMUNICATING ALL THE INFORMATION TO YOU, 12:41 SO WE WILL SEND YOU OUR NEWSLETTER CALLED ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS . 12:44 THAT WILL COME TO YOU EVERY MONTH AND IT WILL HAVE ALL SORTS OF FANTASTIC INFORMATION IN IT 12:49 WHERE YOU CAN LEARN ABOUT THE DIFFERENT REGIONS AND THE DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND WILL ALSO 12:54 HIGHLIGHT WITH PICTURES SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE ACCEPTED THE LORD JESUS AS THEIR SAVIOR. 13:04 JAMES WAS TALKING ABOUT THE "ONE MILLION FOR JESUS." 13:09 IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A COPY OF THIS BROCHURE 13:14 WE'D BE HAPPY TO POP IT IN THE MAIL TO YOU. 13:16 JUST LET US KNOW. 13:17 SO THERE IS THE CONTACT INFORMATION FOR YOU TO BE INVOLVED. 13:19 TO OUR VIEWERS IN CANADA, I'M FROM CANADA, 13:23 CANADA IS SUPPORTING THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORK IN AFRICA. 13:32 IN THE JANUARY ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS THERE IS A NICE LITTLE STORY ABOUT WORK AMONG THE 13:42 MASSAI PEOPLE IN AFRICA. 13:45 SO CANADIAN FOLK, HERE'S OUR OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPORT THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORK IN AFRICA. 13:51 AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THAT. 13:53 WHY DON'T YOU SHARE WITH US THE PICTURES YOU HAVE FOR US ABOUT SOME GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS IN 14:03 TIBET AND IN INDIA? 14:07 HERE IN THE CENTER OF THIS PICTURE ARE TWO TIBETANS WHO LIVE IN INDIA. 14:12 YOU SEE, THERE ARE MORE THAN 100 THOUSAND TIBETAN REFUGEES IN INDIA. 14:17 THESE TWO AND TWO ON THE OUTSIDE ARE THE BRAND NEW GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS WHO ARE WORKING 14:28 FOR THE TIBETAN PEOPLE IN THEIR AREA OF INDIA. 14:32 THEY ARE WORKING IN THE SACRED CITY OF SARNATH . 14:37 SARNATH IS THE PLACE WHERE BUDDHA PREACHED HIS FIRST SERMON, 14:47 AND I UNDERSTAND IT'S THE PLACE WHERE HE DIED. 14:50 ISN'T THAT INTERESTING. 14:51 IT'S A VERY SACRED PLACE TO BUDDHISTS FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD. 14:55 THEY GO THERE ON PILGRIMAGES. 14:57 THERE IS A LARGE TIBETAN POPULATION THERE. 15:01 THESE TWO ARE THE FIRST SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST 15:05 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS FOR TIBETANS IN INDIA. 15:09 THIS IS HISTORIC AND I AM JUST THRILLED ABOUT THIS. 15:15 THESE TWO YOUNG MEN WHO ARE THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS 15:19 HAVE MADE FRIENDS WITH THESE TWO TIBETANS. 15:21 THE WORKERS STARTED JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO AND NOW THEY HAVE ALREADY MADE FRIENDS WITH TWO 15:29 AND THEY HAVE OTHER FRIENDS AS WELL, BUT WE GOT A PICTURE OF TWO OF THEIR FIRST FRIENDS. 15:33 THEY ARE GOING TO USE "FRIENDSHIP EVANGELISM" TO BRING THE GOSPEL TO THESE TIBETAN 15:39 PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN INDIA. 15:41 THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER PLACES IN INDIA WHERE THERE ARE LARGE POPULATIONS OF TIBETANS. 15:47 AROUND THE CAPITAL CITY OF NEW DELHI THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF TIBETANS IN A REFUGEE CAMP AS 15:57 TRADES PEOPLE AND SO ON. 15:59 IN THE CITY OF DEHRADUN IN THE FOOTHILLS OF THE HIMALAYAS THERE IS A BIG TIBETAN SHRINE WITH 16:09 THOUSANDS OF TIBETAN PEOPLE. 16:11 WE NEED WORK STARTED IN THAT AREA. 16:12 THEN THERE IS THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE DALAI LAMA IN DHARAMSHALA . 16:17 " DHARMA " MEANS SPIRITUAL WORSHIP AND " SHALA " IS A PLACE LIKE THAT SO THE PLACE OF SPIRITUAL 16:27 WORSHIP AND THAT'S WHERE THE DALI LAMA HAS HIS HEADQUARTERS IN NORTHERN INDIA. 16:38 THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF TIBETANS AND WE NEED WORK STARTED THERE. 16:45 SOMEONE MIGHT REALLY LIKE TO SUPPORT GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS FOR THOSE SPECIAL PLACES THAT 16:52 WOULD BRING A REAL HARVEST OF TIBETAN PEOPLE. 16:55 WE HAVE AN ADVANTAGE IN INDIA. 16:59 THESE PEOPLE OF TIBETAN ORIGIN HAVE BEEN IN INDIA LONG ENOUGH 17:03 THAT THEY KNOW THE INDIAN LANGUAGES. 17:05 SO OUR INDIAN PEOPLE CAN WITNESS TO THEM. 17:09 THEN AS THE TIBETANS BECOME SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHRISTIANS THEY CAN WITNESS TO THEIR OWN 17:16 PEOPLE IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE. 17:18 WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO NEPAL. 17:25 THESE TWO ON THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT ARE OUR TWO TIBETAN GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS IN NEPAL. 17:34 THE ONE IN THE RED JACKET IS THE FIRST TIBETAN SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST LIVING IN NEPAL. 17:45 HE BECAME A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO. 17:48 THE OTHER ONE IS A YOUNG MAN WHO HE PREPARED FOR BAPTISM 17:54 AND HE IS NOW A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER TOO. 17:56 ISN'T THAT AMAZING HOW THE LORD WORKS. 18:02 THE ONE ON THE LEFT IS ONE OF OUR PASTORS IN NEPAL. 18:06 THIS IS THE DAY OF THE BAPTISM OF THIS TIBETAN GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER. 18:18 THEY KEEP IN TOUCH. 18:19 CELL PHONES WORK GREAT IN NEPAL, TIBET AND INDIA. 18:23 DO THEY REALLY? 18:24 EVEN WITH THE ELEVATION AND ALL THE MOUNTAINS? 18:26 OH YES. 18:28 THEY USE SATELLITES SO YOU CAN GO DOWN IN THE BOTTOM OF A CANYON AND YOUR CELL PHONE WILL 18:30 WORK WELL. 18:31 THAT'S AMAZING. 18:32 THEY TALK ON THE CELL PHONES WITH ONE ANOTHER. 18:35 THAT ISN'T THE CASE HERE IN AMERICA. 18:39 NO IT ISN'T LIKE THAT HERE. 18:41 THIS IS THE FIRST TIBETAN SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST PRAYER HOUSE BEING BUILT ON THE BORDER 18:49 OF NEPAL AND TIBET. 18:52 IT'S NOT FINISHED YET. 18:53 LOOKING AT THAT I WOULD THINK IT HAD BEEN THERE FOR YEARS. 18:58 IT'S ALL MADE OF LOCAL STONE. 19:01 THIS IS ABOVE 12 THOUSAND FEET ELEVATION SO IT'S COVERED WITH SNOW RIGHT NOW. 19:08 THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN LAST AUGUST. 19:11 HERE WE ARE IN JANUARY WHEN WE ARE RECORDING THIS SO IT'S DEAD OF WINTER UP THERE. 19:19 THOSE PEOPLE HAVE A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN GET INSIDE AND WORSHIP. 19:25 THAT ELEVATION IS ALMOST THE ELEVATION 19:27 OF A COUPLE OF OUR MOUNTAINS HERE IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. 19:34 SO HOW WILL THEY FINISH THAT ROCK? 19:38 I'M ANXIOUS TO SEE A FINISHED PICTURE. 19:42 THAT WILL BE NEXT SUMMER SOME TIME. 19:44 GIVE US A REPORT ON THAT BECAUSE I'M CURIOUS HOW THEY DO THAT. 19:47 THEY CALL IT A PRAYER HOUSE, THEY DON'T CALL IT A CHURCH? 19:57 WE DON'T WANT TO CALL IT CHURCH. 20:00 THEY HAVE PRAYER HOUSES. 20:01 THIS IS NORBU OUR FIRST GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER. 20:04 ADVENTIST WORLD RADIO HAS HAD A VERY CLOSE CONNECTION WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH. 20:09 IN FACT, THE BEAUTIFUL PROGRAMS THAT ADVENTIST WORLD RADIO PUT ON TELEVISION, 20:14 OUR OWN TECHNICIAN/PHOTOGRAPHER FROM GOSPEL OUTREACH 20:18 IS THE ONE WHO TOOK A LOT OF THOSE PICTURES. 20:23 ANYWAY, GOSPEL OUTREACH AND ADVENTIST WORLD RADIO HAVE A GREAT CONNECTION. 20:28 HERE IS NORBU. 20:30 HE IS THE FIRST SPEAKER/PRODUCER FOR ADVENTIST WORLD RADIO IN THE TIBETAN LANGUAGE. 20:37 HE KNOWS THE NEPALI LANGUAGE, HE KNOWS THE TIBETAN LANGUAGE. 20:44 ADVENTIST WORLD RADIO HAS HAD NEPALI PROGRAMS DONE BY ONE OF OUR NEPALI PASTORS 20:51 FOR THE PAST 12 YEARS OR SO. 20:54 ALL THOSE PROGRAMS ARE AVAILABLE, SO THIS MAN CAN TRANSLATE THEM AND GET THEM 21:03 READY IN THE TIBETAN LANGUAGE. 21:06 ON MARCH 15, 2011 THE FIRST SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST 21:12 TIBETAN PROGRAM STARTED ON AN FM STATION. 21:16 ON AUGUST 15, 2011 IT WENT WORLD WIDE ON SHORT WAVE AND ON THE INTERNET AND SO ON. 21:25 SO THE ADVENTIST MESSAGE IS NOW AVAILABLE ANY PLACE IN THE WORLD IN THE TIBETAN LANGUAGE. 21:32 GOD BLESS NORBU. 21:34 IT'S HARD FOR HIM TO GET OUT OF THOSE MOUNTAINS AND GET THERE. 21:39 WE TALKED IN ONE OF OUR PROGRAMS ABOUT THE CHILD LITERACY CENTERS. 21:45 IN ONE PART OF NORTHERN INDIA THIS LITTLE GIRL HAS LEARNED TO READ IN A CHILD LITERACY CENTER. 21:53 COULD SHE NOT GO TO SCHOOL? 21:55 SHE HASN'T HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF GOING TO SCHOOL. 21:58 HER FAMILY IS TOO POOR OR SOMETHING FOR HER TO GO TO SCHOOL. 22:02 SHE AND OTHERS ARE LEARNING IN THAT LITTLE SCHOOL. 22:08 WE DON'T CALL IT A SCHOOL WE CALL IT A LITERACY CENTER. 22:12 SCHOOL MAY HAVE SOME LEGAL IMPLICATIONS, BUT THEY CONSIDER IT A SCHOOL. 22:20 WE JUST STARTED THIS PROGRAM A FEW MONTHS AGO. 22:26 THE INSTRUCTORS ARE LOCAL INDIAN AND NEPALI PEOPLE. 22:31 WE HAVE CLOSE TO 50 LITERACY CENTERS STARTED NOW IN NEPAL AND NORTHERN INDIA. 22:36 THEY ARE DOING A FABULOUS WORK. 22:40 YOU SAW IN ANOTHER PROGRAM SAMIR WHO HAS BEEN BAPTIZED FROM A LITERACY CENTER. 22:46 IN OTHER PLACES THAT HAS ALSO HAPPENED. 22:50 PARENTS ARE JUST THRILLED ABOUT THEIR CHILDREN LEARNING TO READ AND WRITE AND TO BE ABLE TO DO 22:57 SIMPLE MATHEMATICS AND TO SING THE SONGS OF JESUS. 23:01 ARE THE STUDENTS LEARNING TO READ IN THEIR LOCAL LANGUAGE? 23:05 YES. 23:07 IT'S HELPING THE PARENTS TOO BECAUSE THE PARENTS LEARN TO READ FROM THE CHILDREN. 23:12 IT'S A BEAUTIFUL THING. 23:14 WE HAVE ANOTHER PICTURE COMING UP. 23:17 HERE IS A CHRISTMAS PROGRAM. 23:19 HERE IT IS JANUARY 4 TODAY. 23:23 THIS WAS JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS OF 2011. 23:27 THIS IS IN NORTHERN INDIA. 23:29 LOOK, SANTA EVEN MADE IT THERE-THREE OF THEM. 23:33 YOU KNOW, THERE IS SOMETHING VERY INTERESTING ABOUT THIS. 23:38 YOU'LL SEE MERRY CHRISTMAS. 23:40 HERE IN NORTH AMERICA A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL SAY HAPPY HOLIDAYS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT BECAUSE 23:47 THEY DON'T WANT TO USE THE WORD "CHRISTMAS." 23:49 OVER THERE IN THE NONCHRISTIAN COUNTRIES THEY HAVE NO TROUBLE ABOUT CHRISTMAS. 23:54 THEY TALK ABOUT IT BEING THE BIG DAY, AND THEY LIKE TO SEE THE STORY OF THE BABY JESUS. 24:05 THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN IN THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT SCHOOL. 24:08 THE GOVERNMENT SCHOOL PRINCIPAL HEARD ABOUT THE PROGRAM THAT THE CHILD LITERACY CENTER HAD 24:16 PREPARED, AND THEY INVITED THE CHILD LITERACY CENTER, THE INSTRUCTOR AND THE CHILDREN, 24:21 TO COME OVER AND PUT ON THE PROGRAM FOR THE GOVERNMENT SCHOOL. 24:24 I HOPE THE LORD IS UP THERE SMILING AT WHAT HE DID. 24:31 OH YES. 24:32 TELL US ABOUT THIS JAMES. 24:33 HERE IS A BAPTISM. 24:34 SEE THAT SWIFT RUNNING RIVER. 24:36 THEY HAVE TO HAVE TWO PASTORS OUT THERE TO MAKE SURE THE CANDIDATE ISN'T SWEPT AWAY. 24:42 I BET IT'S COLD. 24:43 OH, IT'S COLD WATER. 24:45 BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO WAIT. 24:47 NINE HUNDRED BAPTISMS THIS YEAR IN NEPAL. 24:53 I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF BAPTIZING THE FIRST NEPALI TO BE BAPTIZED 24:58 IN NEPAL IN THAT VERY SAME RIVER. 25:01 THAT WAS A PRIVILEGE. 25:02 THAT WAS A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO. 25:05 HERE'S A LITTLE NEPALI FAMILY IN THEIR VERY SIMPLE LITTLE HOUSE WITH THEIR LOVELY CHILDREN. 25:14 WE HEAR STORIES, AND I HAVEN'T TOLD THEM IN THIS PROGRAM, ABOUT OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS AND 25:23 HOW THE LORD IS HONORING THEIR FAITH. 25:26 MANY PEOPLE ARE BEING HEALED BECAUSE OF THE PRAYERS 25:31 AND THE FAITH OF OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 25:35 THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY IT'S HAPPENING 25:37 BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE ARE TOO POOR TO GET TO A DOCTOR. 25:41 THEY DON'T HAVE MEDICAL CARE. 25:42 GOD KNOWS THAT AND GOD LOVES THESE PEOPLE AND HE HAS GIVEN THE AUTHORITY TO THESE GOSPEL 25:50 OUTREACH WORKERS AS THE LORD PROMISED THAT WHERE YOU GO THESE SIGNS WILL FOLLOW. 25:55 ISN'T THAT THE TRUTH. 25:57 WE HAVE A COUPLE MORE SLIDES HERE THEN WE WANT TO FINISH UP WITH A BIG BANG HERE AT THE END. 26:01 HERE'S ANOTHER BAPTISM TAKING PLACE IN A LITTLE WATER CHANNEL 26:05 WHERE THE WATER IS HARDLY KNEE DEEP. 26:08 PASTOR CHUCK JENSEN THE LEADER OF THE ADVENTIST WORK IN NEPAL IS CONDUCTING THIS BAPTISM. 26:15 WHO IS THIS GROUP? 26:17 THIS IS ANOTHER GROUP OF 70 SOME WHO WERE BAPTIZED RECENTLY IN EASTERN NEPAL. 26:24 ON THE VERY LEFT IS MT. EVEREST. 26:29 IN THE CENTER IS A SHARP PEAK. 26:33 THAT IS MT. KAILASH. 26:36 MT. KAILASH IS A SACRED MOUNTAIN. 26:38 WALK AROUND IT AND YOU'RE SINS ARE FORGIVEN. 26:41 BUT JESUS IS THE ONE WHO CAN REALLY FORGIVE SINS. 26:43 ISN'T THAT THE TRUTH. 26:45 WHAT A STUNNING PART OF THE WORLD AND MORE STUNNING IS WHAT THE LORD IS DOING IN THAT AREA. 26:52 IT'S JUST THRILLING. 26:53 WE THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE ON "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS." 26:56 BLESSINGS TO YOU AS YOU WORK WITH THE PEOPLE IN YOUR TERRITORY. 26:58 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH US HERE ON "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS" AT GOSPEL OUTREACH. 27:02 I'M JULIE SANDERS KEYMER. 27:05 [CLOSING MUSIC.] |
