10:35 WELL, I CAN'T SAY THAT THEY UNDERSTAND ALL OF IT THAT WELL, 10:39 BUT THEY HAVE SEEN THAT GOD IS BLESSING. 10:43 THE TESTIMONY OF THE FAITHFUL LIVES. 10:45 THAT'S RIGHT. 10:46 OF THE BELIEVERS, YES, IS AN APPEAL TO THEM TO ALSO LIVE THAT KIND OF EXPERIENCE. 10:52 THAT'S RIGHT. 10:54 NOW HERE WE HAVE TWO BROTHERS WHO ARE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 10:58 THEY HAVE A HEALING MINISTRY. 11:01 WHAT'S THAT MEAN? 11:03 WHAT'S THAT MEAN, WELL THE MAN WITH HIS HANDS HELD UP LIKE THAT, HIS NAME IS SHIVRAM? 11:11 HE HAS THE NAME OF TWO HINDU GODS, SHIVRA AND RAMA. 11:19 SO HE HAD EPILEPSY AND HE PRAYED AND GOD HEALED HIM 11:27 AND THEN OTHER PEOPLE HEARD ABOUT IT. 11:29 EVEN HIS OWN BROTHER APPARENTLY GOT EPILEPSY AND CAME TO HIS BROTHER SHIV 11:37 AND HE WAS PRAYED FOR AND HE WAS HEALED ALSO. 11:43 ANOTHER MAN CAME AND WAS HEALED OF EPILEPSY. 11:48 THE NEXT SABBATH WHEN THEY CAME TO THEIR MEETINGS, A WHOLE CROWD OF PEOPLE CAME AND FROM 11:54 THAT 260 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED IN THAT ONE VILLAGE. 11:59 SO, I HEAR YOU SAYING JAMES THAT THESE BROTHERS BECAUSE OF THE EVIDENCE OF GOD'S HEALING 12:08 POWER IN THEIR OWN LIVES, YES, THEY FEEL CALL TO PROVIDE THIS SAME KIND OF MINISTRY TO OTHER 12:15 PEOPLE AND GOD IS BLESSING THIS WORK. 12:18 GOD IS BLESSING THIS WORK. 12:19 YOU KNOW, IN THE NEW TESTAMENT TIMES THE APOSTLES, AND THE PEOPLE THEY PRAYED AND THE 12:27 PEOPLE WERE HEALED AND JESUS PROMISED THAT WHERE YOU GO PEOPLE WILL BE HEALED, 12:32 THE DEAD WILL BE RAISED, SHOULD WE BE SURPRISED IF IT IS HAPPENING TODAY?

14:13 WELL, WE HAVE A COUPLE OF CHILDREN HERE. 14:17 YOU KNOW, WHAT HOPE THESE CHILDREN HAVE STANDING BY AN OPEN SEWER THEY HAVE LITTLE 14:25 OPPORTUNITY IN LIFE BUT WHEN THE GOSPEL COMES TO THEM IT MAKES SUCH A GREAT CHANGE AND 14:34 HERE WE HAVE A NEW PART OF THE GOSPEL OUTREACH MINISTRY 14:41 AND THAT IS THE CHILD LITERACY CENTERS. 14:44 UH HUH. 14:45 NOW WE HAVE ABOUT 50 CHILD LITERACY CENTERS OPERATING NOW IN INDIA AND NEPAL. 14:50 THESE ARE SOME CHILDREN IN ONE OF THE CHILD LITERACY CENTERS. 14:55 YOU KNOW, IN ONE PLACE THE CENTER WAS ONLY OPERATING A FEW MONTHS, 15:03 20 PEOPLE ACCEPTED CHRIST BECAUSE OF THE INFLUENCE OF THESE CHILDREN IN THE VILLAGE. 15:08 LET'S TALK ABOUT THE LITERACY CENTER, 15:13 THE NEED FOR IT AND HOW IT OPERATES A LITTLE BIT, JAMES. 15:18 YOU SHOWED US THE PICTURES OF THOSE 2 LITTLE CHILDREN FOR WHOM THERE IS VERY LITTLE HOPE 15:23 TO JUST GROW UP IN THE SEWER VIRTUALLY, SO DOES THAT MEAN THERE IS NO EDUCATION FOR MOST 15:32 OF THESE PEOPLE IN THE VILLAGES? 15:34 THERE IS EDUCATION BUT THERE ARE LOTS OF CHILDREN WHO DON'T GET EDUCATION. 15:40 IN SOME PLACES THE SCHOOLS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO THEM ARE NOT DOING A GOOD JOB. 15:46 IN OTHER PLACES THEY JUST DON'T HAVE CLOTHING TO GO TO SCHOOL OR WHATEVER IT IS. 15:54 NOW THE FOLK HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH HAVE DECIDED THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A BASIC 16:02 EDUCATION TO THESE CHILDREN. 16:05 NOT JUST SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHILDREN IN THE VILLAGE BUT TO ANY CHILD WHO IS AVAILABLE AND 16:11 WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME. 16:12 AND THEY WANT TO GIVE READING, WRITING, ARITHMETIC UP TO THE THIRD GRADE LEVEL. 16:21 HEALTH EDUCATION, BIBLE STORIES, AND CHRISTIAN SONGS. 16:27 THIS IS JUST, OH. 16:29 DOES THIS MEAN THAT GOSPEL OUTREACH IS MAKING ARRANGEMENTS FOR TEACHERS TO BE AVAILABLE IN 16:38 THESE VILLAGES TO TAKE CARE OF THIS EDUCATIONAL PROCESS FOR THESE CHILDREN? 16:42 THAT'S RIGHT, YES. 16:44 THE INSTRUCTORS IN THESE VILLAGES ARE RECEIVING A SMALL STIPEND AND THEY ARE WORKING ON 16:52 A BASIS THAT THEY WILL RECEIVE THIS YEAR, NEXT YEAR THEY WILL HAVE THESE CHILDREN BRING IN A 16:58 LITTLE BIT OF MONEY. 16:59 THEY WILL GET A LITTLE BIT LESS UNTIL AFTER ABOUT 17:02 FOUR YEARS THESE CENTERS WILL BE SELF SUPPORTING. 17:05 YOU SAID, THIRD GRADE EDUCATION, DOES EDUCATION GO BEYOND THAT? 17:09 OH YES, AND ALREADY SOME OF THE CHILDREN WHO HAVE, OR WERE GOING TO SCHOOL AND HAVE 17:15 ATTENDED THESE CHILD LITERACY CENTERS HAVE ENROLLED IN SCHOOLS. 17:20 NOW, I HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING WHILE THEY COULD GET AN EDUCATION IN THE BASICS OF 17:25 READING THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE AND WHATEVER, YES, THEY HAVE THE BENEFIT OF LEARNING SOME 17:32 CULTURAL THINGS FROM A CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE THAT 17:37 OTHERWISE THEY WOULDN'T HAVE RECEIVED. 17:38 THEY LEARN THE STORIES OF JESUS AND OTHER BIBLE STORIES. 17:42 THEY LEARN THE CHRISTIAN SONGS AND THEY ARE, AND THEY LEARN MANNERS AND THEY WEAR CLOTHES 17:50 AND THE PEOPLE IN THE VILLAGE ARE IMPRESSED. 17:53 NOW WHEN YOU SAID A NUMBER OF PEOPLE ACCEPTED JESUS THOSE ARE THE STUDENTS OR THE STUDENTS' 17:59 FAMILIES TOO? 18:00 NOT JUST THE FAMILIES BUT OTHER PEOPLE IN THE VILLAGE ALSO. 18:05 UH HUH. 18:06 YES, THEY SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING AND THEY LIKE IT. 18:09 WELL WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN EMPHASIZING HERE IN THE HEALING PROCESS, 18:13 IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS, LITERACY WHEN LIVES ARE CHANGED WHERE THERE IS AN EVIDENT 18:19 EXPERIENCE, PEOPLE CANNOT ARGUE WITH THAT. 18:23 THAT'S RIGHT. 18:24 CONSEQUENTLY, THEY SEE THE VALUE IN THIS RELATIONSHIP AND THEY WANT IT TOO. 18:30 IS THAT THE WAY JESUS WORKED? 18:31 TEACHING AND HEALING? 18:33 ALL RIGHT. 18:35 OH, YES YOU KNOW EVERY CHURCH THAT IS RAISED UP BY GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS OR OTHERS IN 18:40 INDIA IS FULL OF CHILDREN. 18:42 THESE CHILDREN ARE PRECIOUS TO THE LORD AND THEY ARE GOING TO, THEY ARE ALREADY WITNESSING BUT 18:51 THEY CAN REALLY ACCOMPLISH A LOT FOR THE LORD. 18:56 LET ME GET KIND OF CRUDE, JAMES. 18:58 I KNOW YOU AND JANICE GO TO YOUR GOSPEL OUTREACH REGION OVER THERE. 19:04 YOU'VE GONE MANY TIMES, OF COURSE AND WHEN YOU COME AND YOU SEE A CONGREGATION WITH ALL 19:11 OF THOSE DARLING CHILDREN, YES, AND IF WE COULD JUST GET A PICTURE OF SOME OF THE FACES A 19:16 LITTLE MORE CLOSELY THAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE PAST, YOU CAN'T HELP BUT LOVE THOSE CHILDREN. 19:21 THAT'S RIGHT. 19:22 NOW, I'M SURE GRANDPA CAMPBELL HAS AN INCLINATION TO JUST GATHER UP THOSE CHILDREN AND 19:28 LET THEM KNOW HOW MUCH THEY ARE LOVED DON'T YOU. 19:32 I LET THEM KNOW THAT JESUS LOVES THEM. 19:36 YES, HOW DO WE DO THAT? 19:39 YOU ARE THE ARMS, THE FACE, THE SMILE, THE HEART OF JESUS WHEN YOU INCLUDE THEM. 19:46 ARE YOU ABLE WHEN THERE IS THIS DIFFERENCE IN CULTURE; ARE YOU ABLE TO HAVE THAT KIND OF 19:52 CONTACT WITH THOSE CHILDREN? 19:55 YES, I WISH I COULD SPEND MORE TIME WITH THEM BUT IF WE CAN BE AN EXAMPLE TO THE LOCAL PEOPLE 20:04 WHO ARE DOING THIS WORK. 20:07 HERE WE HAVE A LITTLE SUMMARY OF WHAT GOSPEL OUTREACH IS DOING. 20:14 WE HAVE A DOUBLE EMPHASIS NOW THE STIPENDS FOR THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS, 20:24 THE EVANGELISTS AND NOW THE CHILD LITERACY CENTERS, YOU SEE. 20:31 GOOD. 20:32 SO IT'S ONE FEEDING THE OTHER, IN A WAY. 20:39 YES IT IS. 20:41 IT'S A PROGRAM GETTING CLOSE TO THE CHILDREN, CLOSE TO THE PARENTS AND WE FOLLOW-UP WITH 20:46 TEACHINGS ABOUT JESUS. 20:48 THAT'S RIGHT, YES. 20:51 YOU MADE A REFERENCE AND I WANT TO GET BACK TO THAT JUST BRIEFLY IN OUR LIMITED TIME, 20:54 YOU ARE TRYING TO MODEL THIS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CHILDREN AND THE FAMILIES ETC. AS YOU GO 21:05 THERE, IS THAT NOT ALSO A 21:10 NATURAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THOSE ADULTS AND THOSE 21:14 CHILDREN? YES, YOU KNOW PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT CULTURES HAVE DIFFERENT WAYS OF EXPRESSING 21:24 THEIR LOVE TO THEIR FAMILIES ETC. BUT THE PEOPLE OF INDIA LOVE THEIR CHILDREN. 21:33 AND THEY ARE HURT WHEN THEIR CHILDREN DON'T GET AN EDUCATION, 21:36 THEY ARE HURT WHEN THEIR CHILDREN ARE ILL AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE TO TURN THERE IS 21:41 NOBODY TO HELP THEM. 21:43 GOD KNOWS THIS. 21:47 YES AND HE HAS GIVEN THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS THAT ARE THERE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE A 21:54 BLESSING. 21:55 OFTEN TIMES WHEN THERE IS SOMEBODY WHO IS ILL, WHETHER IT IS A CHRISTIAN OR A NON 22:02 CHRISTIAN, WHETHER IT IS AN ADVENTIST OR SOMEBODY ELSE, 22:04 THEY WILL TRY ANYTHING TO GET WELL. 22:10 SOME OF THE METHODS THEY TRY ARE NOT VERY SCIENTIFIC BUT THEY TRY ANYTHING AND THEN 22:20 SOMEONE TELLS THEM THERE IS THE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST WORKER, THOSE PEOPLE WHO WORSHIP ON 22:26 SATURDAY, THEY HAVE THEIR SERVICE OVER THERE IN THAT HOUSE OR UNDER THAT TREE OR IN 22:31 THAT CHURCH AND IF YOU GO OVER THERE, THEY WILL PRAY FOR YOU. 22:36 WHEN THEY EXPERIENCE THAT EVENT, THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER, THE PASTOR, 22:43 THE MEMBERS GATHERING AROUND AND PUTTING THEIR HANDS ON THEM AND PRAYING AND SO OFTEN THE 22:49 NEXT WEEK THEY COME BACK AND SAY "HERE I AM I COULDN'T WALK NOW I CAN WALK. 22:55 I HAD CONSTANT HEADACHES NOW THEY ARE GONE; I HAD EPILEPSY NOW IT'S GONE." 23:02 PRAISE THE LORD. 23:04 THEY ARE JUST SO THRILLED ABOUT IT. 23:07 I'M THINKING BACK TO SIRENDRA LAL, A LIVING TESTIMONY OF GOD'S INTERVENTION IN HIS LIFE 23:17 AND THAT FOR HIS WIFE AS WELL. 23:21 IF YOU THINK OF HIM AND HIS 35 WORKERS, IF WE COULD MAKE AN APPEAL TO OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH 23:28 FAMILY AS WE ALL THINK ABOUT THAT FAITHFUL MAN, WHAT COULD SOMEBODY DO FOR HIM THAT WOULD 23:38 MAKE THE MOST DIFFERENCE IN HIS WORK RIGHT NOW? 23:41 YOU KNOW, SIRENDRA LAL SENT ME A LIST OF 25 CITIES WITH MORE THAN 100, 23:50 000 POPULATION IN EACH ONE. 23:53 SOMEBODY HAS SPONSORED TEN GOSPEL OUTREACH EVANGELISTS 24:00 TO GO TWO BY TWO TO FIVE OF THOSE CITIES. 24:05 THERE ARE TWENTY MORE AND SIRENDRA LAL WOULD JUST LOVE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE GOSPEL OUTREACH 24:13 EVANGELISTS TEAM UP AND GO TO EACH OF THOSE TWENTY CITIES. 24:18 IN SIRENDRA LAL'S REGION HOW MUCH DOES ONE OF THOSE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS COST? 24:27 WELL, I THINK WE SHOULD BE TALKING IN THE TERMS OF ABOUT $100 A MONTH. 24:33 IT IS A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN THAT RIGHT NOW BUT GOD WILLING THE FIRST OF JULY; 24:42 THE PAY WILL BE INCREASED JUST A LITTLE BIT. 24:46 IT NEEDS TO BE INFLATION IS RAMPANT THERE. 24:49 THESE PEOPLE ARE YES, THEY'VE HAD SOME SUPPORT THAT THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE OTHERWISE HAD, 24:56 YES, BUT MANY OF THEM DEAR HEARTS ARE BARELY SUBSISTING AND THEY NEED TO BE SUPPORTED 25:04 BETTER SO THAT THEY ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE KINGDOM 25:08 IN THE WORK THEY ARE PERMITTED TO DO. 25:10 YES AND THERE ARE YOUNG PEOPLE OVER THERE WHO ARE READY. 25:15 WE SAW THOSE TWO YOUNG MEN WHO WERE HELPING PEOPLE TO BE HEALED, THE HEALING MINISTRY, 25:21 THE HEALING MINISTRY FROM THAT 15 YOUNG PEOPLE ARE WITNESSING WITHOUT ANY PAY IN THEIR HOME 25:30 VILLAGES AND DOING A WONDERFUL JOB OF BRINGING PEOPLE TO JESUS. 25:34 AND THE OBJECTIVE FOR EVERY PERSON WHO CONFESSES JESUS, EVERY NEW BELIEVER TO BECOME A 25:42 DISCIPLE OF JESUS. 25:43 RIGHT. 25:44 AND TO REACH OUT AND MAKE OTHER DISCIPLES SO INDEED THOSE FIFTEEN 25:48 ARE DOING THE PROPER WORK. 25:51 FOLKS I'VE BEEN SO CONNECTED WITH BROTHER JAMES AND HIS STORY THAT I HAVEN'T GIVEN YOU 25:56 THE ADDRESS, I HAVEN'T TOLD YOU ABOUT THE TELEPHONE NUMBER BUT I AM GOING TO ASK OUR PEOPLE 26:01 WHO PREPARE THESE PROGRAMS FOR RELEASE TO YOU TO LET THAT BE ON THE SCREEN SO YOU KNOW HOW 26:06 TO BE IN TOUCH WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH. 26:10 THE STORIES THAT COME THROUGH, THE STORIES THAT COME THROUGH MEETING WITH LEADERS LIKE JAMES 26:17 CAMPBELL ARE INSPIRING AND TELL US WHAT JESUS IS DOING AND WHAT HE WANTS TO DO MORE AND HE 26:24 WANTS YOU TO HAVE THE BLESSING TO BEING A PART OF THIS. 26:28 SO BROTHER JAMES, GOD BLESS YOU. 26:30 SO GLAD TO BE WITH YOU AS ALWAYS AND IT'S SO GOOD TO HAVE ALL OF YOU FOLKS A PART OF OUR 26:37 GOSPEL OUTREACH FAMILY AS WELL. 26:40 THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS. 26:44 I AM IMPRESSED WITH THE EMPHASIS ON PRAYER BY ALL OF THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS AND 26:50 HOW THE PEOPLE IN INDIA RESPOND SO POSITIVELY TO PRAYER MINISTRY. 26:56 MAY WE BE A PART OF THAT PRAYER SUPPORT THAT BLESSES GOSPEL OUTREACH. 27:04 THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US, WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME. 27:21 I NEED TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL HERE AT HOME. 27:24 WHERE IS THE 10-40 WINDOW ANYWAY. 27:27 THOSE PEOPLE ARE TOO FAR AWAY. 27:30 SOMEONE ELSE CAN TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS. 27:33 MAYBE THEY COULD JUST WATCH TV. 27:39 NEARLY THREE BILLION PEOPLE TO REACH, MY HEAD HURTS. 27:42 THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO, I GIVE UP. 27:44 WHAT'S THE POINT OF TRYING?
