HELLO, WELCOME TO ADVENTURES IN
MISSION BROUGHT TO YOU BY GOSPEL
00:00:22.73\00:00:27.43
OUTREACH. THAT YOU CAN CONTACT
BOTH OUR OFFICES IN THE UNITED
STATES AND IN CANADA.
00:00:34.20\00:00:40.30
OUR GUEST TODAY IS GABBI, AND
GABBI YOU HAVE LIVED AND WORKED
IN THE MIDDLE EAST,
00:00:40.30\00:00:47.13
CENTRAL ASIA AND SOUTHEAST
ASIA FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.
00:00:47.13\00:00:51.26
WELCOME TO OUR PROGRAM.
00:00:51.26\00:00:52.83
THANK YOU, BRUCE.
00:00:52.83\00:00:54.36
STRANGE THINGS HAVE BEEN
HAPPENING IN THE MIDDLE EAST
00:00:54.36\00:00:57.76
LATELY. UNEXPECTED
THINGS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING.
00:00:57.76\00:01:00.53
THERE HAS BEEN TURMOIL, THINGS
THAT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN
PREDICTED A YEAR BEFORE.
00:01:00.53\00:01:07.56
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING, THE
NEWSPAPERS AND THE POLITICAL
PUNDITS ARE AT A LOSS.
00:01:07.56\00:01:14.06
TONIGHT, WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT
A SPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVE ON THE
00:01:14.06\00:01:20.06
ARAB SPRING, BECAUSE I AM SURE
THIS IS BRINGING UP NEW
OPPORTUNITIES, NEW CHALLENGES IN
00:01:20.06\00:01:26.13
TERMS OF MISSION AND
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS INVOLVED.
00:01:26.13\00:01:28.63
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS THERE IN
THAT PART OF THE WORLD OPERATING
00:01:28.63\00:01:33.33
AND WE WANT TO KNOW
HOW WE CAN OPERATE BEST.
00:01:33.33\00:01:35.96
WE WANT TO SHARE THAT WITH
OUR LISTENERS SO THEY UNDERSTAND
00:01:35.96\00:01:40.50
WHAT WE'RE DOING
AND HOW WE ARE DOING IT.
00:01:40.50\00:01:42.83
NOW, YOU HAVE A PROGRAM THAT YOU
ARE INVOLVED IN CALLED "BIBLES
00:01:42.83\00:01:48.23
FOR PEACE". THAT'S RIGHT.
00:01:48.23\00:01:49.16
WHAT CAN YOU TELL US
ABOUT "BIBLES FOR PEACE"?
00:01:49.16\00:01:50.96
WELL BRUCE, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY
RIGHT TO POINT OUT THAT A YEAR
AGO WE COULD HAVE NOT DREAMED
00:01:50.96\00:01:58.33
WHAT WE ARE WITNESSING TODAY, IN
TERMS OF THE DRAMATIC CHANGES
THAT ARE TAKING PLACE WITH
00:01:58.33\00:02:04.80
REDEFINITION OF IDENTITY
IN THE ARAB WORLD TODAY.
00:02:04.80\00:02:08.00
ONE THING THAT HAS COMMON IN
THE REGION IS HOW CAN WE ACHIEVE
00:02:08.00\00:02:13.60
PEACE? HOW CAN WE BUILD PEACE?
00:02:13.60\00:02:15.60
WHERE DO WE FIND PEACE?
00:02:15.60\00:02:17.60
WHERE IS THE SOURCE OF PEACE?
00:02:17.60\00:02:20.00
IT'S IN THIS EXPRESSION OF
ISLAM, IT IS IN THIS POLITICAL
VERSION OF DEMOCRACY WHERE IS
00:02:20.00\00:02:26.26
PEACE COMING FROM?
00:02:26.26\00:02:28.06
SO, EXCUSE ME, YES, WELL I HEAR
FROM A NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT THE
ARABS ARE NOT A PEACEFUL PEOPLE.
00:02:28.06\00:02:34.80
THEY ARE A WARLIKE PEOPLE.
00:02:34.80\00:02:37.66
AND YET YOU ARE TELLING ME THAT
THE ARABS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT
00:02:37.66\00:02:42.50
PEACE. THAT'S RIGHT.
00:02:42.50\00:02:43.70
I'M ANXIOUS TO HEAR THIS.
00:02:43.70\00:02:45.40
OK BRUCE, YOU SEE UNFORTUNATELY,
WE ALL HAVE PERCEPTIONS ABOUT
THE ARAB WORLD THAT MAKE IT
00:02:45.40\00:02:52.00
SOUND LIKE THIS IS
A MONOLITHIC BLOCK.
00:02:52.00\00:02:55.10
NOT ALL THE ARABS ARE
REPRESENTATED BY THE MOST
00:02:55.10\00:03:00.16
EXTREME ARABS AS WE
HAVE SEEN IN THE MEDIA.
00:03:00.16\00:03:02.40
WHILE WE DO NOT DENY THAT THOSE
ARE ARABS AND THEY CLAIM TO BE
00:03:02.40\00:03:07.23
FAITHFUL MUSLIMS, THEY DO NOT
REPRESENT AND CAN'T SPEAK ON
BEHALF OF THE WHOLE ARAB WORLD.
00:03:07.23\00:03:11.13
SO WITHIN THEIR WORLD YOU
HAVE A GROUP YOU HAVE A GREAT
00:03:11.13\00:03:14.66
DIVERSITY, BECAUSE YOU ARE
LOOKING INTO A VERY COMPLEX
00:03:14.66\00:03:17.43
WORLD. THE MAJORITY OF THE ARAB
PEOPLE , LIKE YOU AND ME WANT TO
HAVE FOOD ON THE TABLE,
00:03:17.43\00:03:21.86
WANT TO GIVE EDUCATION TO THEIR
CHILDREN, WANT TO WALK FREELY IN
THE STREET WITHOUT BEING
00:03:21.86\00:03:25.96
HARASSED BY THE POLICE, WANT TO
HAVE A PROPER FUTURE AND WANT TO
BE ABLE TO WORSHIP GOD IN PEACE.
00:03:25.96\00:03:33.43
THEY WILL TELL YOU THAT THIS
IDEA OF PEACE IS BUILT IN THE
DNA OF THE RELIGION.
00:03:33.43\00:03:38.73
I KNOW THAT AT TIMES, SOME
PEOPLE HAVE LAUGHED ABOUT THIS,
BUT THE WORD THAT ISLAM COMES
00:03:38.73\00:03:43.13
FROM HAS A R OOT IN A 3 LETTER
S-L-M SALAM THAT IS RELATED TO
THE HEBREW WORD SHALOM PEACE.
00:03:43.13\00:03:49.20
SO, YES THE ARAB
PEOPLE ARE SEEKING PEACE.
00:03:52.23\00:03:56.03
NOW, SOME WILL ADVOCATE THAT
THEY ONLY WAY TO ACHIEVE PEACE
IS THROUGH VIOLENCE.
00:03:56.03\00:04:00.90
BUT, THESE ARAB REVOLUTIONS IN
PLACES SUCH AS EGYPT AND TUNISIA
AND OTHER PLACES ARE TRYING TO
00:04:00.90\00:04:07.13
SHOW THAT THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE
BELIEVE THAT NONVIOLENCE IS A
VERY VIABLE WAY OF ACHIEVING
00:04:07.13\00:04:13.43
PEACE AND BUILDING PEACE.
00:04:13.43\00:04:15.40
THEY ARE DETERMINED TO KEEP
GOING BACK IN PROTEST PEACEFULLY
IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE PEACE.
00:04:15.40\00:04:22.00
OK, THAT IS AN
INTERESTING PERSPECTIVE.
00:04:22.00\00:04:24.03
WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT.
00:04:24.03\00:04:25.53
YES, AT TIMES I THINK WE
WANT VERY SIMPLISTIC ANSWERS
00:04:25.53\00:04:29.53
AND WE ARE LOOKING
AT 1.2 BILLION PEOPLE.
00:04:29.53\00:04:32.60
I MEAN IT'S A HUGE MASS OF
HUMANITY THAT WE ARE CONSIDERING
AND JUST TO PUT JUST ONE SIMPLE
00:04:32.60\00:04:38.23
LABEL IT JUST DEFACES
REALITY OF THE ARAB WORLD.
00:04:38.23\00:04:41.70
WHEN WE SPEAK OF THE ARAB WORLD,
WE ARE ONLY SPEAKING OF ONE
SMALL SECTION, AS IT WERE,
00:04:41.70\00:04:48.40
OF THE ENTIRE MUSLIM WORLD.
00:04:48.40\00:04:50.26
EXACTLY.
00:04:50.26\00:04:51.26
VERY GOOD.
00:04:51.26\00:04:52.40
PEOPLE DON'T OFTEN REALIZE
THAT THE ARAB WORLD REPRESENTS
00:04:52.40\00:04:54.70
ONLY 20 PERCENT OF
ENTIRE ISLAMIC WORLD.
00:04:54.70\00:04:57.30
OH, YOU SAY, THIS IS A VERY
INFLUENTIAL 20 PER CENT BECAUSE
THE HEART OF THE ISLAMIC WORLD
00:04:57.30\00:05:04.33
FINDS IT'S BASE IN
THOSE SO CALLED "HOLY LANDS".
00:05:04.33\00:05:08.66
SO YOU WERE ASKING
ABOUT THE BIBLES FOR PEACE.
00:05:08.66\00:05:12.06
WHY FOR PEACE?
00:05:12.06\00:05:13.76
WELL, GOSPEL OUTREACH HAS BEEN
FOCUSING ON WORKING IN THE 10/40
WINDOW IN FRONT LINE WORK.
00:05:13.76\00:05:19.23
YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN A STRATEGIC
PARTNER IN SUPPORTING THE WORK
00:05:21.76\00:05:27.76
OF THE ADVENTIST
CHURCH IN THEIR WORK.
00:05:27.76\00:05:31.56
AS WE HAVE ENTERED INTO NEW
TERRITORIES THE LAST FEW YEARS,
WE HAVE RECEIVED AN
00:05:31.56\00:05:37.63
UNPRECEDENTED REQUEST FOR BIBLES
FROM LEADERS, TRIBAL, POLITICAL
AND RELIGIOUS LEADERS WHO ARE
00:05:39.73\00:05:46.60
STARTING TO DISCOVER IN THE WORD
OF GOD THE SEEDS OF PEACE AND
00:05:46.60\00:05:51.23
MORE IMPORTANTLY,
THE PRINCE OF PEACE.
00:05:51.23\00:05:52.53
NOW, WHAT LEADS THESE MUSLIMS
TO WANT TO STUDY THE BIBLE?
00:05:52.53\00:05:57.56
THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION.
00:05:57.56\00:05:59.26
AND AGAIN, THERE ARE
MANY DIFFERENT FACTORS.
00:05:59.26\00:06:01.66
BUT, IF YOU WILL ALLOW ME, I
WILL TELL YOU THE SPECIFIC
PROJECT FOR ONE SPECIFIC COUNTRY
00:06:01.66\00:06:08.36
IN OUR LAND SO THAT IN
THE CONTEXT OF THIS COUNTRY,
00:06:08.36\00:06:11.53
SO THAT YOU MIGHT
GET A WIDER PERSPECTIVE.
00:06:11.53\00:06:15.23
IN 2008, WHICH OBVIOUSLY WAS
BEFORE THE ARAB SPRING, WE
RECEIVED REQUESTS FOR 1000
00:06:15.23\00:06:21.30
BIBLES FROM A SPECIFIC LOCAL
LEADER IN ONE OF THOSE SO CALLED
00:06:23.30\00:06:29.33
CLOSED COUNTRIES. I WILL SAY SO
CALLED CLOSED COUNTRIES BECAUSE
WHILE YES, THESE COUNTRIES ARE
00:06:33.20\00:06:36.26
CLOSED FOR TRADITIONAL FORMS OF
EVANGELISM THEY ARE NOT CLOSED
TO THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:06:36.26\00:06:41.60
WE MIGHT CALL THEM
CREATIVE ACCESS COUNTRIES.
00:06:41.60\00:06:44.36
YES, I LIKE THAT ACTUALLY,
BECAUSE IT IS TRULY THE CASE.
00:06:44.36\00:06:48.76
IN SOME OF THESE COUNTRIES WE
HAVE SEEN A GROWING NUMBER OF
PEOPLE WHO WILL REFER TO DREAMS
00:06:48.76\00:06:55.96
AND VISIONS IN WHICH THEY SEE
THESE MEN IN WHITE COMING AND
STUDYING THEM IN A JOURNEY.
00:06:55.96\00:07:02.83
IT IS INTERESTING THAT ONLY ONE
TIME, BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN
DOCUMENTING DREAMS.
00:07:02.83\00:07:08.00
I AM VERY INTERESTED IN
UNDERSTANDING HOW GOD REVEALS
HIMSELF TO PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT
00:07:08.00\00:07:12.63
CULTURES
ESPECIALLY IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
00:07:12.63\00:07:15.53
ONLY ONE TIME, IN EVERY SINGLE
TIME OF HUNDREDS OF DREAMS THAT
I'VE HEARD NEVER JESUS REVEALED
00:07:15.53\00:07:22.20
FULLY HIS WHOLE IDENTITY.
00:07:22.20\00:07:24.56
EITHER HE STEPS ON ONE OF THE
PATH OF THIS SEARCH AS A MAN IN
WHITE AND HE USES BIBLICAL
00:07:24.56\00:07:31.10
LANGUAGE AT TIMES.
00:07:31.10\00:07:32.36
HE REFERS TO HIMSELF AS "I
AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE
00:07:32.36\00:07:34.80
LIGHT". HE DOESN'T EXPLAIN THAT
THIS IS PART OF A LARGER
BIBLICAL PICTURE OR HE ALWAYS
00:07:34.80\00:07:40.86
USES THE ISLAMIC NAME ISA EL
MASIH , YOU KNOW ME AS ISA EL
00:07:40.86\00:07:43.90
MASEE . HE NEVER USES THE
CHRISTIAN TERM THAT CHRISTIAN
00:07:43.90\00:07:49.20
ARABS USE. HE SITS IN THE PATH
THAT USUALLY LEADS THEM TO THE
BIBLE OR AFFIRMS THEM.
00:07:49.20\00:07:53.53
PEOPLE SOMETIMES TAKE THE BIBLE
BUT THEY FEEL VERY FEARFUL.
00:07:53.53\00:07:56.76
I AM DISPLACING GOD BY READING
THIS BOOK THAT IS NOT MINE AND
THEN THEY HAVE THIS DREAM OF
00:07:56.76\00:08:01.56
JESUS THAT AFFIRMS THAT THIS
BOOK IS FROM ME, BE SAFE, I AM
00:08:01.56\00:08:07.40
WITH YOU. SO, IN 2008 A GROUP
OF 1000 BIBLES WERE DISTRIBUTED.
00:08:07.40\00:08:13.83
THIS CREATED A WAVE OF INTEREST.
00:08:13.83\00:08:17.33
LET ME JUST SHARE ONE STORY FROM
THIS FIRST BATCH OF 1000 BIBLES.
00:08:17.33\00:08:22.23
IT WAS ABOUT A GOVERNOR IN A
WIDESPREAD REGION AND UNDER HIM
THERE WERE SEVERAL DOZENS AND
00:08:22.23\00:08:28.26
I'M SORRY I'M GOING TO USE
NUMBERS A LITTLE VAGUE, YOU
UNDERSTAND WHY I HAVE TO BE
00:08:33.93\00:08:38.06
SENSITIVE TO PROTECT OUR PEOPLE.
00:08:38.06\00:08:40.73
HE HAD HEARD THE STORY OF JESUS
MANY YEARS AGO IN THE 60'S.
00:08:40.73\00:08:45.96
HE WAS CONVICTED THAT THERE WAS
SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROPHET
THAT PUT HIM DIFFERENT TO THE
00:08:45.96\00:08:51.96
REST OF THE PROPHETS BUT HE HAD
NEVER FULLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT THAT
MEANT AND WHAT KIND OF
00:08:51.96\00:08:56.80
COMMITMENT THIS
JESUS WAS CALLING.
00:08:56.80\00:08:59.06
SO, IT 2008 BY PROVIDENCE HE
RECEIVED ONE OF THESE FIRST 1000
00:08:59.06\00:09:05.80
BIBLES. HE JUST FELL
IN LOVE WITH THE BIBLE.
00:09:05.80\00:09:10.00
HE DESCRIBED THAT
WHEN HE RECEIVED THE BIBLE,
00:09:10.00\00:09:13.00
THIS USED TO BE THE
KORAN AND THIS WAS THE BIBLE.
00:09:13.00\00:09:16.36
BUT AS HE KEPT READING THE
BIBLE, THIS PROCESS KEPT
HAPPENING AND HE FELT SO
00:09:16.36\00:09:21.90
CONVICTED THAT THIS WORD WAS
INDEED THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY
THAT HE COMMITTED HIMSELF TO
00:09:21.90\00:09:27.63
BRING ALL THE OTHER SUBTRIBAL
LEADERS INTO THE FAITH AS
DESCRIBED IN THE BIBLE.
00:09:27.63\00:09:34.86
SO, HE BECAME A POWERFUL FORCE
FOR DISTRIBUTING THE REST OF THE
BIBLES INTO COMMUNITIES WHERE,
00:09:34.86\00:09:42.33
AGAIN, WHERE WE HAVE NOT GONE.
00:09:42.33\00:09:44.13
BUT HE AS A LOCAL LEADER
CREATED A SORT OF DOMINO EFFECT.
00:09:44.13\00:09:48.13
AS YOU CAN IMAGINE WHEN THE WORD
OF GOD HITS ANY COMMUNITY IN THE
00:09:48.13\00:09:54.00
HISTORY OF GOD, INTERESTING TO
THE COMMUNITY IS A VERY
TRANSFORMATIONAL PROCESS.
00:09:54.00\00:09:58.53
IT BECOMES LIKE
THE YEAST IN THE DOUGH.
00:09:58.53\00:10:00.90
SO THIS CREATED A WAVE OF
INTEREST AND OUT OF THIS IN 2008
THE FIRST 1000 BIBLES,
00:10:00.90\00:10:07.50
WE RECEIVED A REQUEST FOR 13
THOUSAND BIBLES THE NEXT YEAR.
00:10:07.50\00:10:11.40
13 THOUSAND; 13 THOUSAND BIBLES.
00:10:11.40\00:10:13.70
THESE ARE LARGE NUMBERS
AND THESE BIBLES AGAIN WERE
00:10:13.70\00:10:20.90
DISTRIBUTED. LET ME TELL YOU
ANOTHER STORY THAT TOOK PLACE IN
THE HOUSE OF THE LAWYER.
00:10:20.90\00:10:28.33
LET'S CALL HIM ALLI FOR
THE SAKE OF HAVING A NAME.
00:10:28.33\00:10:32.46
ALLI WAS A LAWYER, A RESPECTED
LAWYER SOMEONE WITH A DEEP SENSE
OF AUTHORITY IN JUSTICE.
00:10:32.46\00:10:38.50
SOMEONE WHO ALWAYS FELT THERE
MUST BE SOMETHING ABOUT GOD THAT
00:10:41.80\00:10:46.10
I'M MISSING. WHEN HE FOUND AT
FIRST, HE ONLY FOUND THE GOSPELS
AND THE BOOK OF LUKE.
00:10:46.10\00:10:51.93
HE COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN, BRUCE.
00:10:51.93\00:10:53.96
HE READ THE GOSPELS AND THE BOOK
OF LUKE 10 TIMES IN ONE WEEK.
00:10:53.96\00:11:00.10
HE SAID THAT AT NIGHT, DURING
THE DAY, EVERY SINGLE FREE TIME
00:11:00.10\00:11:04.50
HE HAD, ALL HE COULD
THINK OF WAS GOING BACK
00:11:04.50\00:11:07.10
AND THEN HE REALIZED THAT
THIS WAS JUST PART OF SOMETHING
00:11:07.10\00:11:12.43
LARGER. SO, HE WAS ASKING GOD TO
PLEASE TAKE HIM TO SOMEONE WHO
COULD GIVE HIM THE FULL BOOK.
00:11:12.43\00:11:18.36
YOU UNDERSTAND, THAT SOMETIMES
WHEN SOMEONE REQUESTS BIBLES
CHRISTIANS PEOPLE ARE FEARFUL OF
00:11:18.36\00:11:23.20
GIVING A BIBLE WITHOUT KNOWING
WHO THE PERSON IS AND THE
SINCERITY OF THEIR REQUEST
00:11:23.20\00:11:28.03
BECAUSE IT CAN COMPROMISE THEIR
OWN LIVES, BUT HE INSISTED AND
SHOWED THAT HE HAD ACTUALLY READ
00:11:28.03\00:11:34.63
THE GOSPELS SO OUR LOCAL LEADERS
WHO ARE BEING PAID BY GOSPEL
OUTREACH ACTUALLY GAVE THIS MAN
00:11:34.63\00:11:41.46
A BIBLE AND THIS TIME HE
READ THE BIBLE TWICE IN 10 DAYS.
00:11:41.46\00:11:47.86
THE WHOLE BIBLE?
00:11:47.86\00:11:48.86
THE WHOLE BIBLE.
00:11:48.86\00:11:50.56
I SEE THIS AND IT PUTS ME TO
SHAME BECAUSE I DON'T THINK I
EVER HAVE SUCH A THRIST FOR GOD
00:11:50.56\00:11:55.83
IN WHICH I HAD READ THE
WHOLE BIBLE IN TWO WEEKS.
00:11:55.83\00:12:00.70
THIS IS IN A COUNTRY WHERE EVEN
TO OWN A BIBLE WOULD RESULT IN
00:12:00.70\00:12:06.76
DEATH PENALTY. YES, YOU HAVE 3
DAYS TO REPENT FROM APOSTASY AND
AFTER 3 DAYS IF YOU DON'T
00:12:09.06\00:12:14.96
REPENT, THEN BY
LAW YOU CAN BE KILLED.
00:12:14.96\00:12:17.96
NOW THE LAW
USUALLY IS NOT IMPLEMENTED
00:12:17.96\00:12:19.96
BUT THE DEATH COMES THROUGH
YOUR RELATIVES IN SOCIETY.
00:12:19.96\00:12:23.36
YOU ARE SHUNNED
BY YOUR RELATIVES?
00:12:23.36\00:12:25.10
OH NO, YOU CAN BE
KILLED BY YOUR RELATIVES.
00:12:25.10\00:12:29.23
THAT'S RIGHT AND NOBODY WILL
PROSECUTE THEM BECAUSE IT IS
WITHIN THE PROVINCES OF THE LAW.
00:12:29.23\00:12:35.36
BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO
DEFEND THE HONOR OF THE FAMILY.
00:12:35.36\00:12:36.36
EXACTLY!
00:12:36.36\00:12:37.90
HE HAD BROUGHT SHAMING TO THE
COMMUNITY AND HAS SOMEHOW TORN
00:12:37.90\00:12:44.60
THE SOCIAL FABRIC. SO IT'S NOT
SO MUCH THAT HE HAS BECOME A
FOLLOWER OF JESUS AS MUCH AS NOW
00:12:44.60\00:12:50.20
HE HAS MOVED FROM THIS ISLAMIC
COMMUNITY INTO A DIFFERENT
00:12:50.20\00:12:52.53
COMMUNITY. THAT IS WHAT I WAS
THINKING THAT THE BIGGEST
BARRIER PEOPLE FACE
00:12:52.53\00:12:56.56
IS REALLY SOCIAL
MORE THAN THE THEOLOGICAL.
00:12:56.56\00:12:59.83
AH HA.
00:12:59.83\00:13:01.63
SO, IN THE CASE OF OUR LAWYER HE
WAS ON ABSOLUTE FIRE AND HE
DESCRIBED THAT WHEN HE FOUND THE
00:13:01.63\00:13:07.23
BIBLE IT WAS LIKE A LOST FRIEND
THAT HAD FOUND A PLACE,
SOMETHING INSIDE OF HIM.
00:13:09.33\00:13:15.76
SO, MOVING ALONG IN THE
YEAR 2010, THE NEXT YEAR,
00:13:15.76\00:13:22.63
NOW WE RECEIVED A
REQUEST FOR 25 THOUSAND BIBLES.
00:13:22.63\00:13:25.83
THIS WAS OVERWHELMING AND WE HAD
TO THANK GOD FOR THE DIFFERENT
PARTNERS THAT HE SENT.
00:13:25.83\00:13:31.90
PEOPLE LIKE GOSPEL OUTREACH AND
DEAR BROTHERS FROM THE QUIET
HOUR WHO HAVE FAITHFULLY
00:13:34.70\00:13:41.23
BELIEVED THAT THE WORD OF GOD
HAS TO BE PLANTED IN LOCAL SOIL
SO THAT IT CAN TAKE LOCAL ROOTS
00:13:41.23\00:13:47.66
AND BECOME PART OF THE
VERY FABRIC OF THE COMMUNITY.
00:13:47.66\00:13:51.20
THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM THAT AT
TIMES THE GOSPEL HAS BEEN
PERCEIVED AS A FOREIGN BOOK BUT
00:13:51.20\00:13:57.53
NOW WHEN A LOCAL PERSON COMES
AND SAYS" IN THIS BOOK I HAVE
FOUND THE TRUE IDENTITY.
00:13:57.53\00:14:02.36
WHAT IT TRULY
MEANS TO BE AN ARAB.
00:14:02.36\00:14:04.43
HOW GOD HAS CALLED OUR COMMUNITY
TO LIVE UNDER HIS PRESENCE, HAS
BLESSED US FARTHER EACH MILE AND
00:14:04.43\00:14:11.33
HAS BROUGHT JESUS
CHRIST TO REDEEM US FROM SIN."
00:14:11.33\00:14:16.56
BECAUSE YOU HAVE HAD SEMETIC
PEOPLE READING WHAT WAS
ORIGINALLY A SEMETIC BOOK,
00:14:16.56\00:14:22.33
IN A SEMETIC CONTEXT.
00:14:22.33\00:14:24.40
YES, BRUCE.
00:14:24.40\00:14:25.40
IT NEEDS TO MAKE SENSE.
00:14:25.40\00:14:26.73
IT DOES.
00:14:26.73\00:14:28.33
PEOPLE, THIS IS ONE OF THE MORE
EXCITING THINGS THAT WE HAVE
HEARD ON GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:14:28.33\00:14:31.60
IT REALLY IS AND I JUST WANT TO
REAFFIRM THAT YOU ARE WATCHING
"ADVENTURES IN MISSION" BROUGHT
00:14:31.60\00:14:38.06
TO YOU BY GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:14:38.06\00:14:40.00
AGAIN, OUR ADDRESS, OUR URL, OUR
PHONE NUMBER, EVERYTHING IS ON
THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU.
00:14:40.00\00:14:46.06
WE INVITE YOU TO
CORRESPOND WITH US.
00:14:49.16\00:14:51.03
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, OR AS WE
WILL TALK LATER, IF YOU WANT TO
PARTICIPATE IN WHAT WE ARE
00:14:51.03\00:14:57.03
TALKING ABOUT.
00:14:57.03\00:14:58.03
CONTINUE ON, PLEASE.
00:14:58.03\00:14:59.66
WELL, BRUCE, I JUST WOULD LIKE
TO ADD ONE THING THAT TO ME
PERSONALLY ONE OF THE MOST
00:14:59.66\00:15:04.20
ENRICHING EXPERIENCES HAVING
READ IN THE BIBLE WITH MUSLIMS.
00:15:04.20\00:15:08.50
BECAUSE SOME OF THESE STORIES
THAT I READ THEM FROM MY
WORLDVIEW AS A WESTERNER HAVE
00:15:08.50\00:15:13.43
TAKEN A MUCH DEEPER MEANING.
00:15:13.43\00:15:15.13
FOR EXAMPLE, THE STORY IN WHICH
JESUS HEALS THIS WOMAN WHO HAS
BEEN BLEEDING FOR 12 YEARS,
00:15:15.13\00:15:20.30
TO ME THIS IS A STORY
ABOUT JESUS' POWER OF HEALING.
00:15:20.30\00:15:23.63
FOR WOMEN, THIS HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH HEALING.
00:15:23.63\00:15:25.86
IT HAS TO DO ALL ABOUT REMOVING
THE SHAME AND DEFILEMENT OF
BEING 12 YEARS CUT OFF FROM
00:15:25.86\00:15:32.90
BEING ABLE TO BE IN THE
COMMUNITY OF THE SAINTS, TO
00:15:32.90\00:15:37.33
GATHER, TO PRAY AND JESUS AS A
SOURCE OF PURITY THAT CAN BE
TOUCHED AND HE DOESN'T GET
00:15:37.33\00:15:43.40
CONTAMINATED, BUT
HE ACTUALLY CLEANSE US.
00:15:45.50\00:15:48.76
SO HER PROBLEM WAS NOT SO MUCH
JUST THAT SHE WAS BLEEDING, BUT
IS WAS BECAUSE OF THAT SHE WAS
00:15:48.76\00:15:54.60
TOTALLY DEFILED AND
ESTRANGED FROM THE COMMUNITY.
00:15:54.60\00:15:56.96
EXACTLY.
00:15:56.96\00:15:58.23
AND CURSED BY GOD SHE COULDN'T
PARTICIPATE IN WHAT WAS GOING
00:15:58.23\00:16:01.23
ON. I COULD TELL YOU SO MANY
OTHER STORIES THAT WHEN YOU READ
IT THROUGH MUSLIM EYES,
00:16:01.23\00:16:05.03
IT MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE.
00:16:05.03\00:16:06.73
IT MAKES YOU FEEL
THAT THIS IS MY GOD.
00:16:06.73\00:16:09.80
THIS IS THE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE
THAT COMES AND SPEAKS TO EVERY
CULTURE IN WAYS PEOPLE
00:16:09.80\00:16:14.36
UNDERSTAND AND IN
WAYS THAT ARE RELEVANT.
00:16:14.36\00:16:18.10
SO, I AM VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT
THIS PROJECT BECAUSE I'VE SEEN
HOW TRANSFORMING IT IS FOR THOSE
00:16:18.10\00:16:24.46
WHO RECEIVE THE BIBLE BUT
FOR THOSE OF US WHO PARTIPATE IN
00:16:24.46\00:16:29.43
THIS PROJECT. NOW, IN THE YEAR
2010 WE RECEIVED A REQUEST FOR
25 THOUSAND BIBLES.
00:16:29.43\00:16:33.76
GOD MADE A WAY FOR THESE BIBLES
TO FIND A WAY AGAIN INTO THESE
00:16:33.76\00:16:39.83
LARGER TRIBES. SOMETHING VERY
INTERESTING HAPPENED AT THE TIME
WHEN THE REQUEST OF THE BIBLE
00:16:42.46\00:16:48.30
CAME; A VERY IMPORTANT NATIONAL
LEADER RECEIVED A DREAM.
00:16:48.30\00:16:52.30
IN HIS DREAM, GOD TOLD HIM "THIS
IS MY BOOK AND I WANT TO RESTORE
THIS BOOK BACK INTO MY PEOPLE."
00:16:52.30\00:17:00.13
THE MAN WROTE THIS STORY IN A
VERY IMPORTANT NEWSPAPER BUT HE
DID NOT PUT HIS NAME,
00:17:00.13\00:17:06.36
HE JUST PUT THAT HE IS A VERY
IMPORTANT NATIONAL LEADER BUT HE
NEVER SIGNED HIS NAME.
00:17:06.36\00:17:11.46
NOW, ONE OF OUR LEADERS
WHO ACTUALLY WORKS FOR GOSPEL
00:17:11.46\00:17:15.93
OUTREACH REACHED THE
EDITORS OF THE NEWSPAPER.
00:17:15.93\00:17:17.96
THEY WERE GOOD FRIENDS AND ASKED
FOR THE IDENTITY OF THIS MAN
00:17:17.96\00:17:21.30
AND ACTUALLY GOT
TO HAVE THE ADDRESS.
00:17:21.30\00:17:23.60
SO, HE WENT AND VISITED
THIS MAN AND TOOK A BIBLE.
00:17:23.60\00:17:26.63
THE MAN WHO HAD HAD THE DREAM
HADN'T SEEN THE BIBLE YET, SO
THEY ARE STUDYING THE BIBLE.
00:17:26.63\00:17:34.06
THIS IS A VERY RECENT STORY,
THEY ARE STUDYING THE BIBLE
TOGETHER BUT HE HAS FELT THAT
00:17:34.06\00:17:39.06
HIS CALLING WAS TO RESTORE
THIS BOOK AT A NATIONAL LEVEL.
00:17:39.06\00:17:43.96
THIS IS WHAT CREATED THIS
UNPRECEDENTED NUMBER OF REQUESTS
00:17:43.96\00:17:49.23
FOR BIBLES. SO,
IMAGINE 25 THOUSAND FAMILIES.
00:17:49.23\00:17:51.86
THE WAY THAT WE HAVE BEEN
WORKING,BRUCE IS THOUGH
INFLUENTIAL FAMILIES BECAUSE IT
00:17:51.86\00:17:58.86
CREATES A DOMINO EFFECT.
00:17:58.86\00:18:01.06
THAT MAKES THE
GOSPEL TO GO MUCH FASTER.
00:18:01.06\00:18:05.40
ANOTHER PERSON THROUGH THE
BIBLE GOT VERY INTERESTED IN
00:18:05.40\00:18:10.76
PROPHECIES. THIS IS ANOTHER
IMPORTANT PHENOMENON THAT WE ARE
STARTING TO SEE AND MORE AND
00:18:10.76\00:18:16.46
MORE ARAB PEOPLE WANT TO
UNDERSTAND WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
00:18:16.46\00:18:19.90
WHAT IS THE TIME AND WHAT IS THE
THINGS THAT WE ARE WITNESSING
RIGHT NOW SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
00:18:19.90\00:18:25.50
DOES THIS AN ANTICIPATION OF THE
ARRIVAL OF JESUS IN THE MATTHEW
00:18:25.50\00:18:30.56
BIBLE? SO THIS IS A
VERY RICH TIME FOR US.
00:18:30.56\00:18:33.76
SO, THE MUSLIMS ARE LOOKING
FOR THE END OF THE WORLD.
00:18:33.76\00:18:36.93
YES.
00:18:36.93\00:18:37.93
FOR THE SECOND
COMING, AS IT WERE.
00:18:37.93\00:18:38.93
THE SIGNS OF THE END.
00:18:38.93\00:18:40.53
THEY ARE VERY INTERESTED IN
UNDERSTANDING THE SIGNS AND IF
YOU WANT TO SEE A MUSLIM
00:18:40.53\00:18:44.83
UNDERSTANDING YOU COULD GO
TO THE WEBSITE OF HARUN YAHYA ?
00:18:44.83\00:18:48.40
AND YOU WILL SEE HOW MUSLIMS
HAVE VERY DETAILED SIGNS OF THE
END AND MANY COINCIDE WITH THE
00:18:48.40\00:18:54.46
BIBLICAL SIGNS OF THE END.
00:18:56.90\00:18:59.53
HARUN YAHYA .
00:18:59.53\00:19:00.73
HARUN YAHYA , YES.
00:19:00.73\00:19:02.36
WE WILL PUT THAT ON THE SCREEN
SO THAT THE PEOPLE CAN SEE IT
AND THEY CAN CHECK IT OUT.
00:19:02.36\00:19:06.00
O.K.
00:19:06.00\00:19:07.73
SO, I COULD TELL YOU MANY OTHER
STORIES, BUT THESE ARE JUSTA
LITTLE TIDBITS OF HOW PEOPLE ARE
00:19:07.73\00:19:14.23
RESPONDING WITH EMOTION.
00:19:14.23\00:19:16.00
I HAD A PERSONAL STORY MORE THAN
2 YEARS AGO WHEN I TOOK A BIBLE
TO A GROUP OF WOMEN AND AS WE
00:19:16.00\00:19:22.06
WERE TEACHING THEM HOW TO READ
THE STORIES AND HOW TO TELL THE
00:19:28.36\00:19:31.96
STORIES, THE
WOMEN WERE IN TEARS.
00:19:31.96\00:19:34.43
THEY SAID THIS IS THE MOST
EMPOWERING EXPERIENCE OF OUR
00:19:34.43\00:19:41.50
LIVES. PEOPLE COME AND TELL US
ABOUT EMPOWERING WOMEN BUT THEY
REALLY ARE WORKING IN A WAY THAT
00:19:41.50\00:19:47.13
IS DISRESPECTFUL TO OUR CULTURE.
00:19:47.13\00:19:49.13
THEY WANT TO REMOVE OUR
VEILS AND MAKE US FEEL NAKED.
00:19:49.13\00:19:51.86
THEY TELL US THAT WE HAVE TO ACT
IN CERTAIN WAYS; THAT WE HAVE TO
00:19:51.86\00:19:56.23
LEAVE OUR HOMES.
WE DON'T LIKE THAT.
00:19:56.23\00:19:57.86
BUT NOW YOU HAVE TOLD US THAT
WE CAN SPEAK WITH THE GOD OF THE
00:19:57.86\00:20:01.40
UNIVERSE? IN OTHER WORDS, THEY
WANT TO KNOW GOD, THEY WANT TO
KNOW ISA EL MASIH ,
00:20:01.40\00:20:09.30
BUT THEY DON'T
WANT TO BECOME WESTERN.
00:20:09.30\00:20:11.06
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:20:11.06\00:20:12.70
SO, THESE WOMEN WERE IN TEARS
AND SAID THIS IS THE MOST
EMPOWERING HANNO MATTOLA IN
00:20:12.70\00:20:18.50
SAYING GOD IS GREAT.
00:20:18.50\00:20:20.33
GOD IS THE MOST
MERCIFUL, MIGHTY.
00:20:20.33\00:20:22.50
THEY WERE JUST FULL OF PRAISES
WITH THE THOUGHT THAT NOW THEY
COULD GO BACK TO THEIR
00:20:22.50\00:20:26.80
COMMUNITIES AND SHARE THE WORD
OF GOD WITHOUT THE MEDIATION OF
ANY MAN AND THEY COULD EMPOWER
00:20:26.80\00:20:32.00
THE NEXT GENERATION OF CHILDREN
TO BE BROUGHT UP INTO THESE
STORIES OF THE SCRIPTURES.
00:20:32.00\00:20:38.06
YOU KNOW, THESE ALL OUR
CULTURE, SO THE STORIES ARE VERY
00:20:38.06\00:20:41.03
MEANINGFUL. WHAT AN
INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY .
00:20:41.03\00:20:42.76
ONCE YOU INTRODUCE IT INTO THE
HOME, WITH THE WOMEN WHO CONTROL
THE CHILDREN AND EDUCATE THEM.
00:20:42.76\00:20:48.73
YES!
00:20:48.73\00:20:50.23
YOU KNOW A FRIEND TOLD ME
SOMETHING WHEN WE USED TO LIVE
IN EGYPT THAT YOU DON'T
00:20:50.23\00:20:55.40
UNDERSTAND THAT
THE HEAD IS THE MAN.
00:20:55.40\00:20:59.83
THE NECK IS THE WOMAN AND THE
NECK MOVES THE HEAD WHERE SHE
00:20:59.83\00:21:05.50
WANTS. THEN HE EXPLAINED HOW
THIS HEART OF THE MUSLIM WORLD
00:21:05.50\00:21:11.56
IS THE WOMAN. SHE IS THE
ONE WHO TRAINS THE CHILDREN.
00:21:11.56\00:21:13.16
THE FATHER IS THE PUBLIC FACE.
00:21:13.16\00:21:15.53
HE TAKES THE CHILDREN TO THE
MALLS, TO THE CEREMONIES, ETC.,
BUT I THE HEART THE REALLY
00:21:15.53\00:21:21.13
FORMING AND SHAPING EXPERIENCES
ARE RECEIVED THROUGH THE HANDS
00:21:21.13\00:21:26.00
OF THE MOTHERS. SO, THE MOTHER
IS A DEEPLY INFLUENTIAL PERSON.
00:21:26.00\00:21:28.10
A RECENT MISSIOLOGICAL STUDY IN
NORTH AFRICA HAS POINTED TO THIS
REALITY THAT A LARGE GROUP OF
00:21:28.10\00:21:34.93
MEN WHO RIGHT NOW ARE MOVING
INTO CONVERSION ARE MEN WHO HAD
MOTHERS WHO HAD SECRETLY BECOME
00:21:34.93\00:21:40.96
BELIEVERS AND HAD
PLANTED THE SEEDS.
00:21:43.30\00:21:46.86
NOW THE CHILDREN,
GROWN UP CHILDREN,
00:21:46.86\00:21:49.50
ARE COMING FORTH AND OPENLY
EMBRACING THE CHRISTIAN FAITH.
00:21:49.50\00:21:53.50
SO, "BIBLE PEACE" IS ACTUALLY
IS TRANSFORMING WHOLE HOMES,
00:21:53.50\00:21:58.60
FAMILIES, WHOLE COMMUNITIES BY
GETTING IN THERE WITH THE WOMEN
00:21:58.60\00:22:02.60
AND THE CHILDREN. THESE ARE
REALLY SEEDS THAT WE PLANT IN
00:22:02.60\00:22:07.30
THE LOCAL SOIL. WE LEAD THAT
THROUGH THE WORK OF THE HOLY
SPIRIT TO MOVE FORWARD AND
00:22:07.30\00:22:14.83
BECOME PART OF WHO THEY ARE. THE
REALITY IS, WE ARE NOT GOING TO
BE ABLE TO WORK THE WAY WE
00:22:14.83\00:22:20.60
ORDINARILY DO. YES, BRUCE.
00:22:20.60\00:22:22.20
THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS GOING TO
BOLIVIA OR PERU OR TO SOUTH
AFRICA, OR ANY COUNTRY.
00:22:22.20\00:22:27.20
THIS IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING
TOTALLY NEW AND DIFFERENT.
00:22:27.20\00:22:29.50
YES, THAT'S RIGHT BRUCE.
00:22:29.50\00:22:31.26
WE HAVE NOTED THAT AS THE BIBLES
ARE BEING DISTRIBUTED ALSO THERE
IS A GREAT NEED FOR A VEHICLE
00:22:31.26\00:22:37.43
FOR PEOPLE TO DO FOLLOWUP.
00:22:39.43\00:22:40.83
YOU HAVE TO GET THE BIBLES
OUT TO THE PEOPLE, DON'T YOU?
00:22:40.83\00:22:42.96
EXACTLY.
00:22:42.96\00:22:44.66
AND WE NEED A VEHICLE THAT IS
RELIABLE, THAT CAN TAKE THESE
BIBLES INTO THE DESERT AREAS AND
00:22:44.66\00:22:49.03
NOT BREAK DOWN, ONE
THAT IS RESPECTABLE.
00:22:49.03\00:22:54.10
THANK YOU.
00:22:54.10\00:22:55.10
THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT.
00:22:55.10\00:22:56.96
IF YOU GO THROUGH A ROAD BLOCK,
IN MY EXPERIENCE AND YOU'VE GOT
AN OLD KLUNKER, A BEAT UP JOB,
00:22:56.96\00:23:03.80
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET RESPECT.
00:23:03.80\00:23:05.16
YOU ARE GOING TO GET TROUBLE.
00:23:05.16\00:23:06.63
YOU ARE GOING TO GET IN DEEP
TROUBLE, YOU MIGHT GET YOUR
BIBLES CONFISCATED,
00:23:06.63\00:23:09.73
AND YOU MIGHT END UP IN JAIL.
00:23:09.73\00:23:10.86
SO YOU REALLY NEED
A RESPECTABLE VEHICLE.
00:23:10.86\00:23:14.03
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:23:14.03\00:23:15.33
WHEN YOU GO THROUGH THE CHECK
POINTS, PEOPLE SEE YOU AND THINK
00:23:15.33\00:23:17.83
OH, THIS MAN MUST BE A LEADER OR
SOMEBODY OF INFLUENCE AND THEY
00:23:17.83\00:23:21.63
CAN PASS BY. SO, WE
NEED 25 THOUSAND BIBLES.
00:23:21.63\00:23:24.33
WE HAVE RECEIVED THIS NEW
REQUEST FOR 25 THOUSAND MORE
BIBLES PLUS WE NEED A VEHICLE.
00:23:24.33\00:23:31.36
25 THOUSAND MORE?
00:23:31.36\00:23:32.70
YES, PHEW!
00:23:32.70\00:23:34.36
I KNOW THIS IS WHY WE ARE
APPEALING TO YOU SAYING, PLEASE
COME AND BE PART OF THIS THING
00:23:34.36\00:23:39.26
THAT GOD IS DOING.
00:23:39.26\00:23:40.63
WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY?
00:23:40.63\00:23:41.63
YES, IT IS EXCITING.
00:23:41.63\00:23:42.96
TO LITERALLY BE ON THE
GROUNDFLOOR OF TRANSFORMING AN
00:23:42.96\00:23:46.70
ENTIRE COUNTRY. I CANNOT THINK
OF ANY BETTER WAY FOR US TO USE
OUR MONEY THAT'S SAYING I WANT
00:23:46.70\00:23:53.83
TO PUT THIS SEED. BECAUSE THE
BIBLE IS, AS THE BIBLE SAYS,
IT'S LIVING IT, ACTING IT,
00:23:53.83\00:23:58.23
IT IS LIKE A 2 EDGED SWORD.
00:23:58.23\00:24:00.90
IT GETS RIGHT BETWEEN
THE BONE AND THE MARROW.
00:24:00.90\00:24:03.66
IT IS AND YOU KNOW, ALSO
AS WE HAVE TAKEN THESE BIBLES
00:24:03.66\00:24:06.96
WE HAVE NOTED THAT
THERE IS A NEED FOR FOLLOWUP.
00:24:06.96\00:24:10.66
SO, WE ARE APPEALING TO OUR
BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO ARE
WATCHING THIS PROGRAM TO PLEASE
00:24:10.66\00:24:15.60
HELP US TO PROVIDE BIBLES, TO
HAVE A RELIABLE VEHICLE TO TAKE
00:24:15.60\00:24:20.26
THESE BIBLES. THESE BIBLES
ARE BEING SPREAD INTO HUGE
00:24:20.26\00:24:23.13
TERRITORIES. BRUCE, I CANNOT
DESCRIBE THE LAND OF THOUSANDS
OF KILOMETERS THAT OUR BROTHERS
00:24:23.13\00:24:29.30
TRAVEL TO TAKE THESE BIBLES.
00:24:29.30\00:24:30.26
WE WILL NEED MORE WORKERS.
00:24:30.26\00:24:31.26
YES.
00:24:31.26\00:24:32.36
GUESS WHAT, THIS IS A FULFILLING
OF THE GREAT COMMISSION.
00:24:32.36\00:24:34.86
YES.
00:24:34.86\00:24:36.60
GOD TELLS US THAT AT THE END OF
TIME WE COULD EXPECT HIS WORD TO
BE TAKEN TO THE ENDS OF THE
00:24:36.60\00:24:41.96
EARTH AND THIS IS WHAT WE
ARE SEEING WITH GREAT JOY!
00:24:41.96\00:24:45.50
HALLELUJAH!
00:24:45.50\00:24:46.50
YES.
00:24:46.50\00:24:47.70
I ENVY YOU; I AM SO GLAD THAT
YOU WERE ABLE TO TAKE TIME OUT.
00:24:47.70\00:24:51.53
I KNOW YOU HAD TO TRAVEL A LONG
WAY TO COME TO WHERE WE ARE AND
BE ABLE TO SIT DOWN AND SHARE
00:24:51.53\00:24:57.33
THIS.
00:24:57.33\00:24:58.33
I AM HAPPY TO BE HERE.
00:24:58.33\00:24:59.93
BUT I AM SURE THAT THE PEOPLE
WHO ARE WATCHING WILL BE
EXTREMELY APPRECIATIVE OF WHAT
00:24:59.93\00:25:03.33
YOU'VE HAD TO SAY.
00:25:03.33\00:25:04.83
YOU HAVE OPENED UP WHOLE NEW
DOORS, WHOLE NEW VISTAS OF
OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE.
00:25:04.83\00:25:09.43
AMEN.
00:25:09.43\00:25:11.00
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS PLEASED,
PROUD TO BE ABLE TO BE PART OF
ALL THAT IS HAPPENING.
00:25:11.00\00:25:16.00
AMEN.
00:25:16.00\00:25:17.23
TO US THERE IS NOTHING IN
THIS WORLD MORE EXCITING THAN
00:25:17.23\00:25:20.83
MISSION. YES.
00:25:20.83\00:25:21.96
GOSPEL OUTREACH FOCUSES, AS
YOU KNOW, ON THE 10/40 WINDOW.
00:25:21.96\00:25:25.20
YES.
00:25:25.20\00:25:26.90
WE HAVE WORK CLEAR ACROSS THE
ENTIRE SPECTRUM OF THAT WINDOW
WITH ALL DIFFERENT FAITHS AND
00:25:26.90\00:25:31.86
CULTURES SHARING JESUS IN THE
SAME WAY WITH THE LOCAL PEOPLE
DOING THE WORK WHO KNOW THE
00:25:31.86\00:25:38.06
LANGUAGE, KNOW THE
CULTURE AND CAN WORK WITHIN IT.
00:25:38.06\00:25:41.13

00:25:41.13\00:25:42.40
BROTHERS, SISTERS, FRIENDS
IF YOU' D LIKE TO HAVE A PART IN
00:25:42.40\00:25:46.60
THIS, IF YOU'D LIKE TO BE
INVOLVED IN WHAT WE HAVE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT TODAY, NUMBER ONE,
00:25:46.60\00:25:51.16
I'D INVITE YOU TO PRAY.
00:25:51.16\00:25:52.76
PLEASE PRAY FOR
THE MUSLIM WORLD.
00:25:52.76\00:25:55.10
IT IS IN TURMOIL RIGHT NOW.
00:25:55.10\00:25:57.23
WE DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS GOING,
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING
00:25:57.23\00:26:02.10
BUT AT THIS POINT, WE HAVE
A BRIEF WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY.
00:26:02.10\00:26:06.23
IT COULD BE THAT
THINGS WILL CLOSE DOWN AGAIN.
00:26:06.23\00:26:09.13
IT IS POSSIBLE.
00:26:09.13\00:26:11.10
IN EGYPT, YOU HAVE THE SALAFIS
AND THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD.
00:26:11.10\00:26:15.00
IF THE SALAFIS GAIN THE
UPPERHAND, IT IS GOING TO BE A
DIFFERENT MIDDLE EAST.
00:26:15.00\00:26:20.90
YES.
00:26:20.90\00:26:22.20
SO, WE HAVE A BRIEF OPPORTUNITY
RIGHT NOW TO BE ABLE TO PUT
00:26:22.20\00:26:27.23
BIBLES IN THE
PEOPLES HANDS AND TRANSFORM.
00:26:27.23\00:26:30.63
SO, IF YOU WOULD
LIKE TO BE PART OF THAT,
00:26:30.63\00:26:33.40
I INVITE YOU TO MAKE
YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO GOSPEL
00:26:33.40\00:26:37.80
OUTREACH. I INVITE
YOU TO CORRESPOND WITH US.
00:26:55.03\00:26:57.90
LET US KNOW YOU ARE PRAYING FOR
"BIBLES FOR PEACE" AND THEN WE
INVITE YOU TO TAKE A REAL
00:26:57.90\00:27:05.40
SERIOUS FINANCIAL
PART IN WHAT IS HAPPENING.
00:27:05.40\00:27:09.73
MAKE YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS PLEASE

THE GOSPEL OUTREACH PROGRAM TO

THE REST OF THE
WORLD TO THE 10/40 WINDOW.
00:27:17.53\00:27:20.96
WHAT WE'VE DISCUSSED TODAY IS
ONLY, AS YOU'VE SAID, ONE PART
OF OTHE MUSLIM WORLD WHICH
00:27:20.96\00:27:26.56
STRETCHES ALL ACROSS FROM NORTH
AFRICA TO THE FARTHEST
BOUNDARIES OF INDONESIA,
00:27:26.56\00:27:33.20
WHICH BY THE WAY IS THE LARGEST
MUSLIM COUNTRY IN THE WORLD,
00:27:33.20\00:27:37.30
