09:49 WELL, YOU KNOW DAN I HAVE A FEW SLIDES AND I WANT TO QUICKLY RUN THROUGH THOSE. 09:54 O.K. 09:56 IT'S A SYSTEMATIC PLAN THAT WE HAVE DEVELOPED IN ORDER TO REACH " ONE MILLION FOR JESUS ". 10:00 ALRIGHT, THERE WE GO. 10:02 AND WITH ME THIS PAST MONTH OR IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY TWO OF OUR PEOPLE FROM LASIERRA 10:08 UNIVERSITY WENT WITH ME AND WE HAD ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING 10:12 OPPORTUNITIES TO SPREAD GOD'S WORD THERE. 10:15 WE ARE TOLD IN MATTHEW 24:14 THAT THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM SHALL BE PREACHED INTO ALL THE 10:21 WORLD BEFORE JESUS COULD COME AND I'M SAYING HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO THAT? 10:27 THE WORLD POPULATION TODAY IS 7 BILLION AND NOT ONLY THAT 230, 10:33 000 PEOPLE ARE ADDED EVERY DAY. 10:37 EVERY DAY. 10:39 THAT IS A NET GAIN IN WORLD POPULATION 83 MILLION NEW FACES EVERY YEAR. 10:44 WOW. 10:45 AND SO HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO THAT? 10:47 INDIA'S POPULATION IS 1.2 BILLION AND 50 PER CENT OF INDIA'S POPULATION 10:52 IS UNDER THE AGE OF 30. 10:54 WOW. 10:55 FIFTY PER CENT AND SO MOST OF THE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCHES IN SOUTHERN ASIA ARE 11:00 FILLED WITH WOMEN AND CHILDREN. 11:03 PRAISE THE LORD! 11:05 YES, BUT THIS PRESENTS US A CHALLENGE AND THAT IS WE NEED TO HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE 11:11 EVANGELISTIC PLAN AND THAT SHOULD INCLUDE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS, 11:15 YOUTH AND CHILDREN AND WOMEN. 11:17 WOW. 11:19 WHEN YOU TOUCH A CHILD BY THE HAND YOU HAVE TAKEN THE PARENTS BY THE HEART. 11:22 THAT'S INSPIRED, THAT'S WONDERFUL. 11:24 AND WOMEN, WOMEN ARE PLAYING A KEY ROLE IN EVERY ASPECT OF HUMAN LIFE AND WE MUST USE 11:32 THEIR LEADERSHIP IN THE COMMUNITY. 11:34 SO, GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS WILL DO EVANGELISM. 11:37 WE HAVE A 500 VILLAGE EVANGELISTIC PROGRAM ADOPTED. 11:40 YOUTH WILL TAKE ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND WOMEN WILL ESTABLISH FAMILY 11:46 AND COMMUNITY SERVICE BASED MINISTRIES. 11:50 LET ME SAY A WORD ABOUT EACH ONE OF THOSE: GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS LAST YEAR IN EAST 11:57 CENTRAL INDIA UNION, THAT IS MY TERRITORY, THEY BAPTIZED 49,000 NEW BELIEVERS INTO GOD'S FAMILY 12:06 AND WHAT AN INVESTMENT THAT OUR DONORS ARE MAKING IN GOSPEL OUTREACH. 12:12 THAT IS ABOUT $6, FOR $6 YOU COULD HAVE A SOUL SAVED IN INDIA. 12:17 SIX DOLLARS AND THAT IS A GREAT, GREAT RATIO. 12:20 WE CAN'T GO TO EAT FOR $6. 12:23 THAT'S RIGHT, YOU CAN'T BUY A HAMBURGER OR ANY SANDWICH, I SHOULD HAVE SAID VEGEBURGER, 12:30 OF COURSE YOU SHOULD HAVE, BUT I TELL YOU 49,000 NEW BELIEVERS. 12:34 THEN WE GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE HERE AND WE FIND THAT WE HAVE ENORMOUS, 12:41 ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF WORK BEING DONE BY YOUNG PEOPLE AND I WANT TO GO BACK TO OUR SLIDES. 12:46 HERE, WE HAVE A TRAINING OF OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 12:51 NOW IS THAT REPRESENTING YOUR 600 AS WELL? 12:54 THAT'S RIGHT. 12:55 THIS IS. 12:56 WE HAVE 600 PEOPLE UNDER THAT TENT. 12:58 AMAZING GROUP AND YOUTH WHICH IS OUR NEXT PARTNER AND MOST INCREDIBLE GENERATION WITH 13:06 SKILLS AND TALENTS AND WE HAVE NOT HISTORICALLY UTILIZED THEIR TALENTS. 13:13 IF WE ARE WANTING OUR WORK TO GROW AND SPREAD, WE NEED TO GO INTO OUR VILLAGES AND UTILIZE 13:20 YOUNG PEOPLE AND THEIR TALENTS. 13:22 ALMOST EVERY YOUNG PERSON IN INDIA IS CARRYING AROUND CELL PHONES. 13:27 REALLY. 13:28 ALMOST EVERY YOUNG PERSON AND LOOK AT THESE YOUNG PEOPLE. 13:32 THEY COME FROM REAL REMOTE VILLAGES AND THIS WILL BE A TYPICAL VILLAGE WHERE OUR 13:39 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS ARE WORKING. 13:41 EACH ONE OF THEM MAY HAVE THREE OR FOUR VILLAGES AND THESE VILLAGES ARE NEARBY AND WE ARE 13:47 ASKING YOUNG PEOPLE TO BE INVOLVED FOR NETWORKING FOR JESUS. 13:52 WHY IS NETWORKING SO IMPORTANT? 13:54 TAKE A LOOK AT THIS STRATEGY THAT WE ARE TRYING TO PROMOTE AND THAT IS: IF YOU HAVE FIVE 13:59 PEOPLE AND YOU TEACH EACH ONE OF THOSE FIVE PEOPLE TO REACH FIVE PEOPLE, THAT'S ALL, 14:08 YOU TAKE YOU MAKE YOUR MISSION TO REACH OUT FIVE PEOPLE AND INTRODUCE THEM TO JESUS AND HIS 14:14 SECOND COMING AND TEACH THEM THAT THEY NEED TO SHARE THIS JUST WITH FIVE MORE PEOPLE. 14:19 LOOK WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DO THAT ABOUT SIX TIMES, WE HAVE REACHED 390,625 PEOPLE. 14:30 IT IS ABSOLUTELY MIND BOGGLING HOW JUST REACHING FIVE PEOPLE COULD DO. 14:37 PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO CROSS THE OCEANS, THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE BIG EVANGELISTS, 14:42 THEY SIMPLY NEED TO MAKE A DETERMINATION "I AM GOING TO INTRODUCE JESUS TO FIVE PEOPLE 14:49 WITHIN MY CIRCLE OF INFLUENCE". 14:51 NOW LET ME SPEAK A LITTLE BIT GLOBALLY HERE. 14:54 WE HAVE 16.3 MILLION SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD AND I'M SAYING OK, 15:02 LET'S HAVE ONLY 4 MILLION OF OUR MEMBERS BECOME ACTIVE. 15:07 IF EACH ONE OF THEM WAS TO SHARE JESUS WITH FIVE PEOPLE AND I KNOW MOST PEOPLE HAVE 15:14 MORE THAN FIVE FRIENDS, THEY MAY NOT HAVE FIVE FRIENDS AMONG THE NON ADVENTISTS BUT THEY 15:22 WILL HAVE FIVE FRIENDS. 15:23 I'M SUGGESTING WHY NOT GO OUTSIDE OF YOUR BACKYARD AND MAKE FRIENDS WITH NON SEVENTH 15:29 DAY ADVENTIST PEOPLE. 15:31 IF YOU MAKE ONLY FIVE FRIENDS AND TEACH THEM TO REACH OUT TO FIVE PEOPLE, 15:36 WE DO THAT FOUR TIMES WE WILL HAVE REACHED 12 BILLION 500 MILLION PEOPLE. 15:43 AND SO, EVEN IF HALF OF THOSE 4 MILLION WERE TO START, LET'S SAY WE JUST START WITH 2 15:50 MILLION OF THE 16.3 MILLION PEOPLE WE WILL AVERAGE 6.25 BILLION PEOPLE BY THE TIME WE 15:59 ARE DOING THIS SHARING JUST IN ABOUT A YEAR. 16:04 SO, WE'VE ALREADY WE'VE ALMOST CAUGHT UP TO THE WORLD POPULATION AT THAT RATE. 16:08 THAT'S RIGHT, EXACTLY. 16:09 AND SO THIS IS REALLY OUR BIG FOCUS THAT WE WANT THE YOUTH TO BE INVOLVED. 16:15 THEN, WE HAVE WOMEN INVOLVED AND OUR SLIDE WILL COME BACK HERE AND I WANT TO SHOW YOU 16:22 THIS IS THE THIRD THING WE DID. 16:23 WE HAD A YOUTH CONGRESS THEN WE HAD TRAINING FOR OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS DURING THE 16:28 MONTH OF FEBRUARY AND AFTER THAT WE HAD OUR WOMEN'S CONFERENCE. 16:33 IT WAS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENALLY RECEIVED BY OUR WOMEN IN THIS AREA. 16:43 WOMEN AS YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE SUCH A SWEET WAY OF WORKING WITH VILLAGES 16:50 AND HERE WE HAVE CHILDREN. 16:51 WOMEN ARE IN TOUCH WITH CHILDREN THAT IS OUR NEXT CIVILIZATION. 16:56 AND IF WE WANT TO REACH PARENTS, WE NEED TO REACH KIDS. 17:00 SO HAVING FAMILY BASED PROGRAMS WOULD BE THE STRATEGY. 17:05 BUT WE ARE TOLD MULTITUDES IN THE VALLEY OF DECISION, OK. 17:10 INCREDIBLE FREEDOM TO SHARE THE LOVE OF JESUS WITH THE MASSES IN INDIA AND THERE ARE HUNGRY 17:16 HEARTS AND MINDS LIKE NEVER BEFORE. 17:19 SO, ALL OF OUR VIEWERS WE ARE REQUESTING PLEASE PRAY EARNESTLY, 17:25 LIVE WITH A SENSE OF URGENCY 17:27 AND DELIBERATELY TRY TO SACRIFICE TO SUPPORT GOD'S WORK. 17:32 AND, GO AHEAD YOU HAD A QUESTION? 17:34 WELL, I WANT TO REVIEW A LITTLE BIT SOME OF THE THINGS YOU WERE TELLING US ABOUT THERE. 17:41 THE 500 VILLAGES ARE ALL THOSE ALREADY WITHIN THE SPHERE OF YOUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS? 17:50 IT IS. 17:51 IT IS WITHIN THIS SPHERE WE HAVE ENTERED 280 OF THESE VILLAGES. 17:54 AND YOU SAY YOU ENTERED THE VILLAGE, HOW IS THAT ENTRY IN THE VILLAGE MADE? 17:59 WELL, THE FIRST THING WE DO WE GO AND SEE THE LEADERS OF THE VILLAGE. 18:05 AND WE WILL SAY WE ARE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST BELIEVERS, THIS IS WHAT WE BELIEVE, 18:09 WOULD YOU LIKE US TO COME AND TEACH YOUR PEOPLE? 18:12 IF THEY SAY YES, THEN WE TAKE THAT VILLAGE AND IF THEY SAY NO, 18:16 WE MOVE ON TO THE NEXT VILLAGE SO WE ARE NOT WASTING TIME. 18:20 AND ONCE WE SELECT THE VILLAGE, WE ASSIGN ONE OR TWO WORKERS 18:27 TO WORK TOGETHER TO DO THE GROUND WORK. 18:30 WHAT DOES THAT CONSIST OF? 18:31 THAT WILL CONSIST OF MAKING FRIENDS, VISITING PEOPLE, PRAYING WITH THEM, 18:35 EXPLAINING TO THEM THE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST FAITH AND BASIC TENETS AND THEN MAKING SURE 18:43 THAT WE ARE MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE. 18:46 WE ARE TRYING TO ESTABLISH PROGRAMS SUCH AS SEWING CENTERS, 18:50 ADULT LITERACY CENTERS, AS WELL AS REFERRING THEM TO LOCAL RESOURCES 18:56 WHERE THEY COULD GET HELP. 18:59 SO, GOSPEL OUTREACH AND WHAT WE WANT TO UNDERSCORE HERE AS BEST WE CAN, 19:04 IS A MINISTRY THAT IS INTENTIONALLY CONNECTING WITH PEOPLE AT ALL THE LEVELS OF 19:13 THEIR HUMAN EXPERIENCE. 19:15 ABSOLUTELY. 19:17 AS WELL AS THE SPIRITUAL SENSITIVITY THAT IS SO RIPE FOR MINISTERING TO THEM BUT THEY 19:24 HAVE THESE FAMILY NEEDS, THEY HAVE THESE ECONOMIC NEEDS, THEY HAVE LITERACY NEEDS THAT YOU 19:31 HAVE MENTIONED SO GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS ARE ALERT TO ALL OF THOSE DIMENSIONS OF THE 19:37 LIFE OF THESE VILLAGERS. 19:38 ALL OF THESE ARE AVENUES TO BUILD STRONG FRIENDSHIP BONDS WITH THE PEOPLE. 19:42 OK. 19:44 PEOPLE LIKE TO HANG AROUND PEOPLE WHO MAKE THEIR LIFE BETTER AND IF JESUS WAS HERE HE 19:51 WOULD DEFINITELY BE SERVING THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE. 19:55 SO, IN ADDITION TO PREACHING THE WORD, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE LISTENING TO THEIR 20:00 NEEDS AND IF THEY ARE SICK AND WE CAN GIVE THEM A RIDE TO THE DOCTOR THAT IS WHAT WE WOULD 20:07 LIKE TO DO. 20:09 IF THEY ARE HUNGRY, WE LIKE TO SEE HOW WE COULD MAKE PROVISIONS 20:15 THAT THEY COULD GET FOOD. 20:16 WE WILL, WANT THEM TO BE CONNECTED TO THE JOB MARKET. 20:20 IF JOBS ARE AVAILABLE, WE WANT OUR PEOPLE 20:22 AND MANY OF THE PEOPLE DON'T HAVE SAFE DRINKING WATER. 20:26 SO, WE ARE PARTNERING WITH AGENCIES THAT WILL HELP US DEVELOP SAFE DRINKING WATER. 20:31 INSTALL WELLS. 20:32 INSTALL WELLS. 20:33 VERY GOOD! 20:35 I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO CONNECT WITH THE ROTARY CLUB, AH YES, AND I HAVE ASKED THE ROTARIANS 20:40 TO COME AND DRILL WELLS IN MANY OF THESE COMMUNITIES. 20:43 WOW. 20:45 AND, I THINK YOU ARE REMINDING ME THAT WE OUGHT TO BE COLLEAGUING WITH ANY 20:51 ORGANIZATIONS THAT WILL BE HELPFUL IN ESTABLISHING A RELATIONSHIP FOR JESUS. 20:57 YOU KNOW, AS YOU SAW THE WORK IS MOVING PHENOMENALLY RAPIDLY IN THE TERRITORY THAT I AM 21:06 WORKING WITH. 21:07 AND THE REAL KEY IS BECOMING A HUMBLE SERVANT FOR THE PEOPLE YOU ARE TRYING TO REACH. 21:13 AMEN. 21:15 YOU LOVE THEM; YOU SERVE THEM AND GIVE THEM THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE THAT THEY FOLLOW JESUS. 21:19 I WANT TO JUST REFER BACK TO YOUR REMINDER THAT WE NEED TO DEPEND UPON THE WOMEN, 21:27 THE LADIES IN THESE VILLAGES BECAUSE THEY ARE THE NURTURERS, THEY ARE THE ONES UPON WHOM 21:34 ALMOST THE WHOLE SOCIETY, THE WHOLE POPULATION DEPENDS. 21:38 I HEARD YOU SAY SEWING? 21:42 WELL YES. 21:43 IN FACT, I HAD A SLIDE WHICH WE ARE NOT ABLE TO SEE RIGHT NOW BUT THE CONCEPT IS THAT GIRLS 21:51 WHO DO NOT GO TO SCHOOL, NOW ARE MARRIAGE AGE WE WILL SET UP A SEWING CENTER AND TEACH THEM 21:57 A SKILL AND THAT SEWING SKILL MAKES THEM VERY VALUABLE PEOPLE. 22:04 THEY CAN GET BETTER HUSBANDS AND BETTER PROPOSALS AND THEY CAN MAKE A LIVING AND THEIR 22:10 VALUE GOES UP. 22:12 ALL OF A SUDDEN, WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY NOT ONLY TO SHARE THE WORD WITH THEM IN HER 22:17 VILLAGE, BUT ALSO WHERE SHE IS GOING TO GET MARRIED. 22:20 AND CERTAINLY YOUR CONCERN FOR THOSE GIRLS IS SUCH THAT YOU 22:28 ALSO WANT TO HELP THEM SOME WAY. 22:30 YOU MUST TAKE CARE OF THIS SOMEHOW, OF HELPING GUIDE THEM TO THE RIGHT KIND OF HUSBAND. 22:35 WELL. 22:36 OR DOES THE CULTURE ALLOW THAT? 22:38 WELL CULTURE WOULD ALLOW THAT BUT WE DON'T GENERALLY GET INVOLVED. 22:43 WE TRY TO LET THE PARENTS TAKE THE LEAD. 22:45 BECAUSE THAT'S THE WAY THE CULTURE WORKS. 22:47 YES. 22:48 BUT THE FAITH, THE FAITH THAT WE TEACH THEM GOES WITH THEM. 22:52 OK. 22:53 YOU KNOW. 22:54 AND SO WE ARE INVOLVED IN THAT WAY. 22:55 SEE AS A VIEWER AND SUPPORTER OF GOSPEL OUTREACH I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE GIRLS WHO 22:59 CAN GET A BETTER HUSBAND BECAUSE THEY CAN SEW 23:02 ALSO ARE IN RELATIONSHIP WITH A GOOD MAN. 23:04 ABSOLUTELY, AND ALSO WE START ADULT LITERACY CENTERS BECAUSE IF WE CAN TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO 23:11 READ AND WRITE THEY CAN READ THE BIBLE. 23:13 SURE. 23:15 THAT IS THE WAY THEY CAN BE FEEDING ON THE WORD OF GOD. 23:18 IS THE BIBLE AVAILABLE IN THEIR DIALECTS? 23:20 THE BIBLE IS AVAILABLE AND MAYBE I COULD MENTION HOW PEOPLE CAN BE INVOLVED. 23:25 OK. 23:26 IN GOD'S SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAM. 23:27 ONE WOULD BE, IF THEY WANT TO SPONSOR AS A FAMILY A DRINKING, SAFE DRINKING WATER WELL THAT 23:34 WILL BE ABOUT $2000 TO TAKE CARE OF THE WATER FOR A VILLAGE. 23:40 FOR A WHOLE VILLAGE AND IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO SET UP A SEWING CENTER WHERE WE WILL TRAIN AT 23:48 LEAST TEN WOMEN, TEN GIRLS EVERY SIX MONTHS. 23:52 SO YOU CAN MAKE TEN FAMILIES SELF SUFFICIENT EVERY SIX MONTHS. 23:56 AND WHAT IS THAT INVESTMENT? 23:57 THAT COSTS ABOUT $2500 A YEAR. 23:59 BUT YOU ARE TAKING CARE OF TEN FAMILIES. 24:02 WELL, IT WOULD BE TWENTY FAMILIES IN A YEAR. 24:04 OH YES, IN A YEAR. 24:05 O.K. 24:07 SO, WE BUY TEN SEWING MACHINES AND WE PAY FOR THE SALARY OF ONE INSTRUCTOR FOR ONE YEAR AND 24:12 AFTER THAT THE INSTRUCTOR CAN CHARGE AND MAKE A LIVING AND CONTINUE TEACHING WHILE HE HAS 24:18 HIS OWN SHOP AS WELL. 24:20 I'VE GOT TO GET TO ONE OTHER THING BEFORE OUR TIME IS GONE MANZOOR AND THAT HAS TO DO 24:24 WITH, I WANT YOU TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE YOUTH INVOLVED IN SOCIAL MEDIA. 24:30 THAT THAT FITS OUR TWENTY FIRST CENTURY MINDSET IN SOME WAY 24:36 BUT HOW DOES THAT WORK IN THIS AREA OF INDIA? 24:39 WELL, YOU KNOW SOCIAL MEDIA ALMOST EVERYONE, ALMOST EVERY CHILD I SAW, YOUTH, 24:45 THEY ALL HAVE CELL PHONES AND SOCIAL MEDIA HAS ABOUT MAYBE TWENTY DIFFERENT AVENUES RIGHT 24:50 NOW AND MAYBE EVEN MORE. 24:53 LET'S SEE IF I CAN GET A SLIDE, I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GET A SLIDE BACK. 24:58 WE HAVE A SLIDE OF SOCIAL MEDIA. 25:00 THIS IS WHERE I WAS MENTIONING ABOUT HOW PEOPLE CAN GET INVOLVED. 25:04 HOW MUCH IT COSTS. 25:05 YES. 25:07 THERE IS A SAFE DRINKING WATER WELL WOULD BE $2500; TO FUND A SEWING CENTER $2000; 25:11 TO FUND A BIBLE FOR A NEW BELIEVER $5 25:14 AND TO FUND A VILLAGE EVANGELISM IS ABOUT $1500. 25:18 I WANT TO GO TO THE SOCIAL MEDIA PART HOW YOUNG PEOPLE CAN BE INVOLVED. 25:25 THERE IS A SLIDE COMING UP HERE VERY SHORTLY. 25:32 WELL, THIS IS GOOD INFORMATION TO BE REMINDED OF THE DATA THAT WILL GIVE US SOME IDEA AND I 25:39 FEAR WE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE TIME TO GET TO THAT BUT IN OUR WESTERN WORLD WE HAVE ALL THESE 25:46 SO CALLED "APPS" OR APPLICATIONS. 25:50 FOR EXAMPLE, FACEBOOK, EACH FACEBOOK OWNER HAS ABOUT 156 CONTACTS, THAT'S THE AVERAGE. 25:59 SOME OF THEM HAVE THOUSANDS, SOME OF THEM FIVE HUNDRED. 26:01 SO WE ARE TALKING ABOUT YOUNG PEOPLE JUST MAKING FRIENDS FOR GOD JUST WITH FIVE PEOPLE. 26:07 YOUNG PEOPLE ALONE CAN FINISH UP GOD'S WORK. 26:10 AND YOU ARE HELPING THEM KNOW WHAT TO PUT ON THEIR FACEBOOK, THAT'S RIGHT, 26:15 SO THEY MAKE THAT INTRODUCTION TO THEIR FRIENDS AND THEY GET THE IDENTITY THAT THEY ARE 26:21 BELIEVERS IN JESUS. 26:22 ABSOLUTELY. 26:24 MANZOOR, IT IS ALWAYS GOOD TO BE WHERE YOU ARE AND EVEN AS THIS PROGRAM TO DAY IT IS RUSH, 26:30 RUSH, RUSH AND THAT GOSPEL MUST GO. 26:33 THANK YOU. 26:34 AND SO GOD BLESS YOU, MANZOOR AND GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU 26:37 FOR BEING A PART OF THE GOSPEL OUTREACH FAMILY. 26:41 THIS IS AN EXCITING MINISTRY THAT MANZOOR HAS TOLD US ABOUT HERE TODAY AND YOU WILL WANT TO 26:47 BE IN TOUCH AS I SAID EARLIER WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH. 26:50 SO YOU LEARN EVERY DETAIL AND KNOW HOW YOU CAN BE A VERY ACTIVE PART IN MAKING SURE MORE 27:03 FAMILIES, MORE BOYS AND GIRLS, WOMEN MORE MEN ARE PREPARED TO MEET JESUS WHEN HE COMES. 27:21 I NEED TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL HERE AT HOME. 27:23 WHERE IS THE 10-40 WINDOW ANYWAY. 27:26 THOSE PEOPLE ARE TOO FAR AWAY. 27:29 SOMEONE ELSE CAN TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS. 27:31 MAYBE THEY COULD JUST WATCH TV. 27:35 NEARLY THREE BILLION PEOPLE TO REACH, MY HEAD HURTS. 27:40 THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO, I GIVE UP. 27:44 WHAT'S THE POINT OF TRYING?
