WELCOME EVERYBODY.
00:00:00.83\00:00:24.10
I'M SO GLAD THAT YOU HAVE JOINED
US FOR "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS".
00:00:24.10\00:00:29.03
AND IF YOU'VE BEEN A REGULAR
VIEWER, YOU KNOW WHAT WE DO
00:00:29.03\00:00:34.13
AROUND HERE. WE MAINLY TELL
STORIES BUT IN THIS PARTICULAR
PROGRAM WE ARE GOING TO GET YOU
00:00:34.13\00:00:40.30
SOME OF THE BACK STORIES, SOME
OF THE EXPERIENCES BEHIND THE
STORIES AND I AM SO GRATEFUL AND
00:00:40.30\00:00:46.36
PLEASED TO HAVE TWO LEADERSHIP
COLLEAGUES AT GOSPEL OUTREACH
JOIN ME HERE TODAY.
00:00:48.76\00:00:53.30
DAN PREAS, GOSPEL OUTREACH
PRESIDENT, WELCOME DAN AND LARRY
00:00:53.30\00:00:58.40
DODDS, GOSPEL
OUTREACH BOARD CHAIRMAN.
00:00:58.40\00:01:00.46
THESE MEN COME HERE TO GOSPEL
OUTREACH WITH A DEEP CONVICTION
THAT THIS IS A MINISTRY THAT
00:01:00.46\00:01:06.50
THEY COULD CONSCIENTIOUSLY
ASSOCIATE WITH BECAUSE IT IS
HASTENING THE COMING OF JESUS.
00:01:10.60\00:01:16.53
AMEN.
00:01:16.53\00:01:17.80
A PART OF WHAT I WANTED
THEM HERE FOR THIS PROGRAM IN
00:01:17.80\00:01:22.63
PARTICULAR, IS THAT THEY HAVE
LAUNCHED A NEW PROGRAM CALLED "
ONE MILLION FOR JESUS" AND YOU
00:01:22.63\00:01:28.66
MAYBE RECEIVED ONE OF THESE
BROCHURES YOURSELF IN YOUR MAIL
AND TO TELL US WHAT IT MEANS TO
00:01:32.53\00:01:38.60
"BE THE SPARK". I RESPONDED TO
THAT SO POSITIVELY WHEN I FIRST
SAW IT IN THE MAIL AND WE WANT
00:01:41.00\00:01:47.53
TO TALK A LITTLE MORE
ABOUT THIS, GENTLEMEN.
00:01:47.53\00:01:49.20
YOU FELLOWS HAVE BEEN INVOLVED
WITH THE CONCEIVING OF THIS,
EXPERIENCING THE MOVING OF THE
00:01:49.20\00:01:55.23
HOLY SPIRIT AS
THIS HAS BEEN DEVELOPED.
00:01:58.43\00:02:02.66
DAN, JUST GIVE US A LITTLE
BACKGROUND AGAIN ABOUT " ONE
MILLION FOR JESUS" .
00:02:02.66\00:02:08.73
" ONE MILLION FOR
JESUS "IS SOMETHING SPECIAL.
00:02:08.73\00:02:12.50
THE SPARK IN MY VIEW,
REPRESENTS THE HOLY SPIRIT
00:02:12.50\00:02:16.23
AND WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO
WITH " ONE MILLION FOR JESUS" .
00:02:16.23\00:02:20.30
THERE ARE DIFFERENT PEOPLE
GROUPS THROUGHOUT THE 10/40
WINDOW THAT WE OPERATE IN.
00:02:20.30\00:02:25.00
THESE PEOPLE GROUPS HAVE LARGE
PIECES OF POPULATION AND ONCE
00:02:25.00\00:02:31.10
THE MESSAGE, THE GOOD NEWS
MESSAGE ABOUT JESUS, THE
SALVATION MESSAGE OF JESUS HITS
00:02:31.10\00:02:36.53
THEM AND THEY HAVE HOPE FOR THE
FIRST TIME IN THEIR LIFE, THAT
SPARK ENTERS THEM AND YOU KNOW
00:02:36.53\00:02:42.86
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE
A SPARK IN A LOT OF DRY WHEAT,
00:02:42.86\00:02:46.23
RIGHT? IT IS GOING TO BE
HOPEFULLY AN INFERNO, AN INFERNO
00:02:46.23\00:02:50.90
RIGHT! SO IT CARRIES
ACROSS THE 10/40 WINDOW.
00:02:50.90\00:02:53.36
OUR HOPE IS THAT " ONE MILLION
FOR JESUS" IS TO ADD NEW WORKERS
IN THE 10/40 WINDOW WHO WILL
00:02:53.36\00:02:59.43
TAKE THAT GOSPEL
MESSAGE TO THESE PEOPLE GROUPS.
00:02:59.43\00:03:03.00
CREATE SPARKS ALL AROUND THE
10/40 WINDOW SO THAT SOON JESUS
00:03:03.00\00:03:07.96
CHRIST CAN COME. WE BELIEVE THE
HARVEST IS RIPE, THE WORKERS ARE
FEW AND THIS SPARK, WE HOPE,
00:03:07.96\00:03:13.66
WILL EXPAND THOSE WORKERS.
00:03:13.66\00:03:15.03
THE ONES WE HAVE THERE RIGHT
NOW ARE INCREDIBLY DEDICATED.
00:03:15.03\00:03:18.40
THE STORIES, THE WORK THAT THEY
ARE DOING IS EXCITING, INSPIRING
00:03:18.40\00:03:23.73
AND WE JUST WANT TO HELP
IN SOME WAY TO EXPAND THAT.
00:03:23.73\00:03:27.00
BECAUSE I KNOW NEW VIEWERS JOIN
US EVERY TIME WE GO TO AIR WITH
AN "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS"
00:03:27.00\00:03:33.06
PROGRAM, BE A
LITTLE MORE DESCRIPTIVE
00:03:35.20\00:03:40.50
OR ANSWER THE 10/40 WINDOW
THING A LITTLE MORE FOR US, DAN.
00:03:40.50\00:03:45.06
O.K.
00:03:45.06\00:03:46.80
THE 10/40 WINDOW IS AN AREA OF
THE WORLD 10 DEGREES NORTH TO 40
DEGREES NORTH LATITIUDE THAT
00:03:46.80\00:03:53.33
CONTAINS 97 PER CENT OF THE
PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF
00:03:53.33\00:03:58.53
THE NAME JESUS. SO, THIS PLAN,
THIS 3 YEAR PLAN IS AIMED AT
TOUCHING THAT AREA OF THE WORLD.
00:03:58.53\00:04:04.83
IT'S A 7.5 MILLION
DOLLAR GOD SIZED PLAN.
00:04:04.83\00:04:09.00
THAT WAY EXCEEDS THE
GOSPEL OUTREACH CURRENT BUDGET.
00:04:09.00\00:04:12.93
WE CURRENTLY HAVE OVER
2000 WORKERS IN THE AREA.
00:04:12.93\00:04:15.93
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ADDING
ANOTHER 1226 WORKERS INTO THAT
AREA OF THE COUNTRY.
00:04:15.93\00:04:22.10
IN FACT, WE HAVE ALREADY STARTED
TO ADD THEM AS NEWS OF THIS
PROGRAM HAS LEAKED OUT;
00:04:22.10\00:04:28.60
PEOPLE HAVE CALLED IN TO MAKE
PLEDGES TO SUPPORT WORKERS IN
00:04:28.60\00:04:32.03
THOSE AREAS. IT IS AIMED AT
GOING RIGHT THERE TO THE 10/40
00:04:32.03\00:04:35.53
WINDOW. HUGE OPPORTUNITITIES.
00:04:35.53\00:04:37.36
I HOPE YOU FOLKS VIEWING CAUGHT
THE PRECISION WITH WHICH GOSPEL
00:04:37.36\00:04:44.23
OUTREACH WORKS. DAN JUST SAID
1226, IT'S NOT 1220, 25, 30
ABOUT IT IS 1226 MORE WORKERS
00:04:44.23\00:04:50.30
BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF
REQUESTS THAT HAVE COME TO YOU
THAT TOTAL UP TO THAT.
00:04:59.06\00:05:02.63
LARRY, WE TALKED IN OUR EARLIER
PROGRAM ABOUT THE DISTRIBUTION
OF THE MISSION DOLLAR AND LO AND
00:05:06.06\00:05:12.13
BEHOLD THERE ARE THESE BILLIONS
OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE 10/40
WINDOW MOST OF WHOM HAVE NEVER
00:05:14.30\00:05:21.23
HEARD THE NAME JESUS AND THERE
MAYBE SOME EXPLANATION FOR THAT
IN THE AMOUNT OF MISSION
00:05:21.23\00:05:28.63
INVESTMENT THAT HAS BEEN
MADE IN THE 10/40 WINDOW.
00:05:28.63\00:05:31.83
UNPACK THAT FOR US.
00:05:31.83\00:05:34.20
NOW THERE ARE A LOT OF CHURCHES,
NOT JUST THE SEVENTH DAY
ADVENTIST CHURCH THAT SEND
00:05:34.20\00:05:38.56
MISSIONARIES INTO
THIS PART OF THE WORLD.
00:05:38.56\00:05:42.46
WE THROUGH RESEARCH AND READING
DETERMINED THAT OF ALL OF THE
MISSION OFFERINGS THAT ARE
00:05:42.46\00:05:49.90
GATHERED ACROSS THE PROTESTANT
DENOMINATION ONLY ABOUT THREE
PER CENT GO INTO AN AREA OF THE
00:05:49.90\00:05:55.96
WORLD WHERE 97 PER CENT OF
THE WORLDS POPULATION HAS NEVER
00:05:58.43\00:06:04.23
HEARD OF JESUS. WE WANT TO BE
PART OF CHANGING THAT PERCENTAGE
AND PUTTING SOME EMPHASIS IN AN
00:06:04.23\00:06:11.30
AREA WHERE ALL THESE PEOPLE LIVE
AND NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE LOVE
OF JESUS AND THE FUTURE OF
00:06:11.30\00:06:17.90
SALVATION. YOU KNOW, I'VE MAYBE
PICKED UP SOMEPLACE, IS IT TRUE
THAT THE VALUE OF THAT DOLLAR,
00:06:17.90\00:06:23.96
OUR MEANS OF
EXCHANGE, GOES FARTHER THERE?
00:06:27.73\00:06:32.30
SOMEBODY TOLD ME FOR $6,
IS THERE ANY TRUTH TO THAT?
00:06:32.30\00:06:36.50
YES.
00:06:36.50\00:06:38.20
FOR LESS THAN THE COST OF A
PIZZA, RIGHT, A PERSON COMES TO
THE LORD AND JOINS OUR CHURCH
00:06:38.20\00:06:44.26
FOR LESS THAN $6.
00:06:44.26\00:06:46.06
THEREFORE, WE HAVE BEEN LIMITED
IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCES
IN THAT PART OF THE WORLD WHERE
00:06:46.06\00:06:51.60
THOSE DOLLARS WILL
GO SO MUCH FARTHER.
00:06:55.96\00:06:59.00
RIGHT NOW THAT IS TRUE.
00:06:59.00\00:07:01.66
IN A LOT OF THOSE AREAS OF THE
WORLD TODAY, THE DOLLAR IS
STARTING TO GO LESS AND LESS AS
00:07:01.66\00:07:07.60
THE ECONOMIES BEGIN TO CHANGE IN
MORE DEVELOPMENT IN SOME OF
THOSE COUNTRIES OUR MONEY IN THE
00:07:07.60\00:07:13.80
FUTURE WON'T GO AS
FAR AS IT WILL TODAY.
00:07:13.80\00:07:16.56
THAT'S WHY WE THINK IT IS
CRITICAL THAT WE STEP FORWARD,
DO WHAT WE CAN TODAY WHEN OUR
00:07:16.56\00:07:21.40
DOLLAR WILL WORK FOR US BETTER.
00:07:21.40\00:07:23.36
WHAT LARRY HAS DONE IS JUST
UNDERSCORED A NOTE OF URGENCY,
THAT'S RIGHT, ABOUT THIS.
00:07:23.36\00:07:28.70
WHILE WE ARE ON VALUES AND SO
FORTH, I'VE HEARD IT SAID SO
MANY TIMES AND I'VE HEARD YOU
00:07:28.70\00:07:34.76
SAY IT DAN, THAT EVERYBODY WHO
WORKS AT GOSPEL OUTREACH IS A
00:07:36.90\00:07:42.43
VOLUNTEER. LARRY, YOU IN AN
EARLIER CONVERSATION, YOU WANTED
TO UNDERSCORE JUST WHAT THAT
00:07:42.43\00:07:50.26
MEANS BY WAY OF THE
DOLLAR THAT COMES TO YOU HERE.
00:07:50.26\00:07:53.76
YES.
00:07:53.76\00:07:55.30
I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WHEN I
FIRST BECAME ACQUAINTED WITH
GOSPEL OUTREACH OF THE
00:07:55.30\00:07:59.73
VOLUNTEERS THAT
PUT THEIR TIME IN HERE.
00:07:59.73\00:08:02.63
DAN IS HERE EVERY
MORNING OF THE WEEK.
00:08:02.63\00:08:04.60
KEVIN, WADE A LOT OF THESE FOLKS
COME IN, DICK AND ITS INSPIRING
TO SEE THAT KIND OF COMMITMENT
00:08:04.60\00:08:10.63
AND DEDICATION AND THEN TO
UNDERSTAND THAT NOT ONE OF THE
DONORS DOLLARS GOES TOWARDS
00:08:14.73\00:08:21.73
SUPPORT OF A U.S.
00:08:21.73\00:08:23.83
WORKER IT IS JUST PHENOMENAL AND
THE LORD IS REALLY TRULY
BLESSING THEIR EFFORTS.
00:08:23.83\00:08:29.90
AND THE PERCENTAGES I'VE HEARD
ARE THAT IF I SEND A DOLLAR TO
GOSPEL OUTREACH, WHICH I DO,
00:08:33.30\00:08:39.36
98 CENTS OUT OF THAT DOLLAR GOES
TO SUPPORT THE WORK IN THE 10/40
00:08:41.93\00:08:45.40
WINDOW. THE TWO PER CENT
KEEPS THE LIGHTS RUNNING HERE.
00:08:45.40\00:08:51.46
SURE.
00:08:54.80\00:08:56.16
THAT EVEN TAKES CARE OF THE
PRODUCTION PROCESS THAT WE GO
00:08:56.16\00:09:01.13
THROUGH HERE. CORRECT.
00:09:01.13\00:09:02.60
I HAVE TO SAY FROM A LITTLE
OF MY BACKGROUND, WHAT A MIRACLE
00:09:02.60\00:09:09.63
PROCESS THIS IS. YES.
00:09:09.63\00:09:11.26
BECAUSE I'VE WORKED ON PROGRAMS
WHERE A SINGLE PROGRAM HAS COST
WHAT THIS STUDIO COSTS.
00:09:11.26\00:09:16.76
CORRECT.
00:09:21.90\00:09:23.30
AND HERE WE GET TO USE IT OVER
AND OVER AND EVERY PERSON BEHIND
00:09:23.30\00:09:27.66
CAMERAS, BACK IN THE CONTROL
ROOM, EVERY DETAIL THAT GOES ON
WITH PRODUCING THIS PROGRAM IS
00:09:27.66\00:09:33.33
BY VOLUNTEERS WHOM GOD
HAS BLESSED WITH INTELLIGENCE
00:09:33.33\00:09:37.76
AND AVAILABILITY AND
WILLINGNESS AND" CALLED".
00:09:37.76\00:09:40.90
AMEN.
00:09:40.90\00:09:41.90
THAT'S IMPORTANT.
00:09:41.90\00:09:43.86
I THINK EVERY
PERSON WILL TESTIFY
00:09:43.86\00:09:46.86
THEY ARE NOT HERE JUST BECAUSE
THEY NEED SOMETHING TO DO.
00:09:46.86\00:09:50.70
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:09:50.70\00:09:51.70
THEY ARE HERE
RESPONDING TO THE CALL.
00:09:51.70\00:09:53.23
AMEN.
00:09:53.23\00:09:54.96
WELL, I WANT TO BREAK RIGHT NOW
AND GO TO WHO WE ARE, WHERE WE
ARE AND WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO
00:09:54.96\00:10:01.43
BE IN TOUCH
WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:10:01.43\00:10:02.90
IT IS ALL RIGHT
THERE ON THE SCREEN.
00:10:02.90\00:10:05.33
YOU SEE THE ADDRESS AND THERE IS
SOMEBODY, IF YOU TELEPHONE HERE
A VOLUNTEER IS GOING TO ANSWER
00:10:05.33\00:10:11.90
THE TELEPHONE "GOOD MORNING,
GOOD AFTERNOON THIS IS GOSPEL
OUTREACH HOW CAN I HELP YOU?"
00:10:11.90\00:10:16.40
AND THEY WILL DIRECT YOU TO
SOMEBODY WHO MAY HAVE OTHER
ANSWERS THAT YOU MAY BE
00:10:16.40\00:10:20.30
INQUIRING ABOUT.
00:10:20.30\00:10:21.70
ANYWAY, PLEASE BE IN
TOUCH WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:10:21.70\00:10:24.60
YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN AS WELL
THE GOSPEL OUTREACH CANADA AND
00:10:24.60\00:10:29.30
WELL, WE WON'T TAKE TIME TO TALK
ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF GOSPEL
OUTREACH CANADA BECAUSE GOSPEL
00:10:29.30\00:10:35.83
OUTREACH MINISTRY IN AFRICA
00:10:35.83\00:10:38.26
IS A MISSION THAT IS SUPPORTED
00:10:38.26\00:10:40.46
BY OUR CANADIAN
BROTHERS AND SISTERS UP THERE.
00:10:40.46\00:10:42.90
YES.
00:10:42.90\00:10:43.80
WORK THAT I'VE BEEN
ASSOCIATED WITH BEFORE.
00:10:43.80\00:10:44.90
O.K.
00:10:44.90\00:10:46.60
I WANT TO GET BACK TO "BE THE
SPARK", " ONE MILLION FOR  JESUS
00:10:46.60\00:10:51.93
" THIS BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL LOGO
THAT HAS BEEN DESIGNED AND I
JUST HOPE DAN, THAT THIS LOGO IS
00:10:59.26\00:11:05.40
GOING TO BECOME AS IMPORTANT AS
THE "GO " LOGO FOR THE
COMMUNICATION THAT YOU ARE DOING
00:11:07.80\00:11:15.23
WITH ALL OF US. WHEN WE SEE
THAT, AH, WE KNOW WHO THAT IS.
00:11:15.23\00:11:17.73
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:11:17.73\00:11:19.23
LET'S LOOK AT SOME OF THE
PLAN THAT YOU HAVE ENVISIONED.
00:11:19.23\00:11:26.73
YOU TOLD ME IN ANOTHER VISIT
THAT YOU GOT STACKS OF RESPONSES
AS SOON AS YOU SUGGESTED TO
00:11:26.73\00:11:33.00
SOMEBODY THAT WE WERE GOING TO
DO SOMETHING LIKE " ONE MILLION
00:11:33.00\00:11:37.86
FOR JESUS " THEY
WANT TO GET ON BOARD.
00:11:37.86\00:11:38.86
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:11:38.86\00:11:39.86
EXCITED ABOUT GETTING ON BOARD.
00:11:39.86\00:11:42.50
ALL THROUGH THE 10/40 WINDOW THE
HARVEST IS SO RIPE THAT THE
CHURCH THERE GETS EXCITED WHEN
00:11:42.50\00:11:49.60
THEY HAVE THAT FEELING THAT
SOMETHING IS GOING TO BE DONE
AND THAT THEY CAN WORK SIDE BY
00:11:49.60\00:11:55.46
SIDE WITH A GROUP OF PEOPLE
IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, GOSPEL
00:11:55.46\00:11:59.90
OUTREACH, THAT WILL PROVIDE WHAT
IS NEEDED AT THE TIME AND TO GO
INTO THOSE VILLAGES.
00:11:59.90\00:12:05.06
DAN, I KNOW YOU HAVE PROBABLY
SEEN VILLAGES IN THE 10/40
00:12:05.06\00:12:08.60
WINDOW. THEY ARE NOT
LIKE WALKING THROUGH AMERICA.
00:12:08.60\00:12:10.93
THESE PEOPLE, A LOT OF THEM
CAN'T READ, THEY SPEND MOST OF
THEIR TIME TRYING TO GET ENOUGH
00:12:10.93\00:12:15.63
FOOD TO EAT FOR THE DAY BUT WHEN
THEY WALK IN AND SEE JESUS
CHRIST FOR THE FIRST TIME
00:12:15.63\00:12:20.46
SOMETHING CHANGES IN THEIR
LIFE AND THEY HAVE HOPE, RENEWED
00:12:20.46\00:12:24.76
HOPE. OUR CHURCH, OUR SEVENTH
DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH IN THAT
REGION WAS SO EXCITED THEY
00:12:24.76\00:12:30.53
STARTED WORKING WITH
OUR REGIONAL DIRECTORS.
00:12:30.53\00:12:32.36
WE HAVE SEVENTEEN REGIONAL
DIRECTORS THAT SPLIT UP THE
10/40 WINDOW WHO VISIT ONCE A
00:12:32.36\00:12:38.50
YEAR IN THAT AREA TO CHECK
AND SEE HOW THINGS ARE GOING.
00:12:38.50\00:12:41.30
WELL THEY WORK WITH THE CHURCH
AND THROUGH THAT GROUP OF
MEETINGS THE CHURCH VOTED TO
00:12:41.30\00:12:48.20
SUPPORT GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS,
PROJECTS AND TRAINING IN THE
00:12:48.20\00:12:55.36
10/40 WINDOW. IS IT TRUE THAT
THERE ARE VILLAGES WHERE THE
00:12:55.36\00:13:01.50
ONLY CHRISTIAN, SEVENTH DAY
ADVENTIST PRESENCE IS A GOSPEL
00:13:04.36\00:13:08.13
OUTREACH PRESENCE? YES.
00:13:08.13\00:13:09.13
YES, THAT'S TRUE.
00:13:09.13\00:13:10.86
THEREFORE IF I WAS ONE OF THE SO
CALLED "OFFICIAL CHURCH LEADERS"
I WOULD SAY "GOD BLESS YOU,
00:13:10.86\00:13:16.30
MAY YOUR TRIBE INCREASE" BECAUSE
THAT IS-- SO GOSPEL OUTREACH IS
A SUPPORTING MINISTRY OF THE
00:13:20.33\00:13:26.36
SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH AND
DELIBERATELY ATTEMPTING TO
EXTEND THE REACH OF THE MESSAGE
00:13:30.03\00:13:37.66
THAT GOD HAD ENTRUSTED TO US.
00:13:37.66\00:13:39.03
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:13:39.03\00:13:40.50
WE ARE WORKING TOGETHER, UNITED
JUST LIKE JESUS TOLD US IN THE
00:13:40.50\00:13:44.73
BOOK OF ACTS. ALL RIGHT.
00:13:44.73\00:13:46.40
WORKERS: THE PLAN INCLUDES
WORKERS, TRAINING AND PROJECTS.
00:13:46.40\00:13:51.20
TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT THAT.
00:13:51.20\00:13:52.56
O.K.
00:13:52.56\00:13:53.56
LET ME JUST START
WITH THAT A LITTLE BIT.
00:13:53.56\00:13:57.06
O.K.
00:13:57.06\00:13:58.06
WORKERS IS THE
CORE OF GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:13:58.06\00:14:04.70
THAT IS WHAT OUR HISTORY HAS
SHOWN US THAT WE DO VERY, VERY
WELL IS WORKING WITH THE
00:14:04.70\00:14:11.36
WORKERS, SUPPORTING THEM,
WORKING THROUGH THE CHURCH TO
GET WORKERS PLACED,
00:14:11.36\00:14:15.70
DO THE TRAINING, DO THE
EVALUATION, TRY AND MOVE THEM
INTO NEW AREAS AFTER A 3-5 YEAR
00:14:15.70\00:14:21.60
COMMITMENT PERIOD AND I THINK
THAT'S WHAT MADE GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:14:21.60\00:14:25.46
RECEIVE THE
BLESSING THAT THE LORD HAS.
00:14:25.46\00:14:27.70
THE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE
INCLUDED IN HERE ARE THE MINOR
PORTION OF WHAT WE ARE DOING AND
00:14:27.70\00:14:34.13
IN SOME CASES IT IS
EXTENDING US JUST A LITTLE BIT.
00:14:34.13\00:14:37.80
SOMETIMES BECAUSE A DONOR HAS
SPECIFICALLY SAID I WANT TO
SUPPORT A PARTICULAR PROJECT.
00:14:37.80\00:14:44.90
BUT NORMALLY, WE
WORK--RAISE FUNDS,
00:14:44.90\00:14:49.26
RECEIVE DONATIONS TO HELP
SUPPORT THE WORKERS IN THOSE
00:14:49.26\00:14:54.26
AREAS. NOW, LET ME GO BACK TO
THE 3-5 YEAR THING THAT YOU
REFERRED TO THERE A LITTLE BIT
00:14:54.26\00:15:01.93
BECAUSE THIS AGAIN IS A VERY
SPECIAL ASSOCIATION WITH THE
ORGANIZED CHURCH IN THAT AREA.
00:15:01.93\00:15:06.30
RIGHT.
00:15:06.30\00:15:07.36
WE'RE NOT GOING THERE AND
WE CONTINUE TO START FOREVER.
00:15:07.36\00:15:13.36
IT'S INTENDED THAT SOMETHING HAS
STARTED AND BECOMES A PART OF
IT, SO WE SUPPORT 3-5 YEARS.
00:15:16.56\00:15:24.33
YES.
00:15:24.33\00:15:25.30
NEW WORKERS THAT ARE
BROUGHT ON HAVE AN AGREEMENT
00:15:25.30\00:15:29.56
WHERE FOR 3-5 YEARS GOSPEL
OUTREACH WILL SUPPORT THEM.
00:15:29.56\00:15:34.20
DURING THAT TIME A CHURCH
WILL BE FORMED IN THAT VILLAGE.
00:15:34.20\00:15:37.16
THE TITHES AND OFFERINGS FROM
THAT CHURCH GO DIRECTLY BACK
INTO THE ORGANIZED CHURCH SO
00:15:37.16\00:15:43.16
THAT AFTER THAT 3-5 YEAR PERIOD
A PASTOR CAN COME AND NURTURE
THAT VILLAGE AND THE GOSPEL
00:15:43.16\00:15:49.23
OUTREACH WORKER
CAN GO INTO A NEW AREA.
00:15:51.90\00:15:53.83
WE WANT TO
CONTINUE TO BE ON THE GO.
00:15:53.83\00:15:56.46
WE DON'T WANT TO BECOME THE
EXISTING CHURCH THAT IS WHY WE
00:15:56.46\00:15:59.26
HAVE TO WORK SO
CLOSELY WITH THE CHURCH.
00:15:59.26\00:16:00.83
VERY GOOD.
00:16:00.83\00:16:02.50
THAT'S WHY GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS THAT FORM THESE VILLAGES
RETAIN THESE MEN AND WOMEN AND
00:16:02.50\00:16:08.70
CHILDREN COMING INTO THE VILLAGE
BECAUSE THEY ARE THERE FOR A
LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND SOMEONE
00:16:08.70\00:16:14.50
COMES IN AFTERWARDS.
00:16:14.50\00:16:16.23
NOW, IS IT TRUE ALSO THAT SOME
OF THESE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS
MAY BE HIRED AS THE PASTOR FOR
00:16:16.23\00:16:21.56
THAT CONTINUING MINISTRY?
00:16:24.40\00:16:25.90
YES, MANY, MANY TIMES THAT
HAPPENS AND THAT'S A GOOD THINIG
00:16:25.90\00:16:30.00
FOR EVERYONE,SURE, BECAUSE THEY
KNOW THE VILLAGE, THEY KNOW
WHATS GOING ON AND SO THEY ARE
00:16:30.00\00:16:33.50
HIRED BY THE CHURCH. AS GOSPEL
OUTREACH MOVES ON THEN WE ARE
LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL WORKERS
00:16:33.50\00:16:39.56
TO EXTEND EVEN FARTHER. RIGHT.
00:16:41.70\00:16:42.70
IT FREES UP OUR BUDGET.
00:16:42.70\00:16:45.53
IT'S A MINOR PART OF IT, LOOKS
LIKE ON THE BROCHURE HERE BUT
00:16:45.53\00:16:50.33
TRAINING; WE JUST DON'T SAY
"ANYBODY WANTS TO GO, FINE".
00:16:50.33\00:16:54.26
THERE IS SOMETHING GOOD
THAT IS INVESTED IN PREPARATION.
00:16:54.26\00:16:59.43
YES.
00:16:59.43\00:17:01.23
THE WAY GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKS
WITH THE DIVISIONS THERE IS THE
DIVISIONS HIRE THE WORKER AND
00:17:01.23\00:17:06.83
THE DIVISIONS TRAIN THE WORKER
BUT WE HAVE FOUND WITH SUCH A
LARGE PROJECT LIKE THIS WE WANT
00:17:06.83\00:17:12.93
ENSURE THE TRAINING GETS DONE,
RIGHT UP FRONT, RIGHT OUT OF THE
GATE SO AMAZING FACTS CENTER OF
00:17:12.93\00:17:18.70
EVANGELISM, WE HAD THEM
UP AT OUR LAST BOARD MEETING.
00:17:18.70\00:17:21.03
WE TALKED TO THEM EXTENSIVELY
ABOUT THEIR PROGRAMS, WE SAW THE
TYPES OF THINGS THEY OFFERED AND
00:17:21.03\00:17:25.76
WE WANT TO BE A
PARTNER WITH THEM.
00:17:25.76\00:17:27.70
WE CAN SEND THESE WORKERS THERE
TO GET THAT TRAINING FOR A FEW
MONTHS AHEAD OF TIME,
00:17:27.70\00:17:32.86
BECOME CONVERSANT IN WHAT THE
SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST MESSAGE IS
00:17:32.86\00:17:36.66
AND FEEL CONFIDENT
ABOUT SHARING WITH OTHERS.
00:17:36.66\00:17:39.43
AND THE REGIONAL DIRECTORS, AS
YOU EXPLAINED EARLIER, I THINK,
RETURN TO THE REGION ON AN
00:17:39.43\00:17:46.90
ANNUAL BASIS AND THEY KIND OF
HAVE THE CONTINUING EDUCATION
PROGRAM THERE DON'T THEY?
00:17:46.90\00:17:52.60
YES.
00:17:52.60\00:17:54.10
MANZOOR MASSEY, ONE OF OUR
REGIONAL DIRECTORS, JUST CAME
BACK AND HE HAD A HUGE
00:17:54.10\00:17:57.63
UNDERTAKING IN INDIA WHERE MANY
OF OUR REGIONAL DIRECTORS WERE
00:17:57.63\00:18:02.76
THERE. YOUTH, WOMEN AND PEOPLE
FROM ALL AROUND THAT AREA
CONGREGATED FOR TRAINING AND FOR
00:18:02.76\00:18:10.63
ENCOURAGING ONE ANOTHER AND ITS
SOMETHING POWERFUL THAT HAPPENS
WHEN THESE DIRECTORS GO INTO
00:18:10.63\00:18:16.20
THOSE COUNTRIES AND INTERACT
WITH THE GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS, INTERACT WITH THE
00:18:16.20\00:18:21.60
CHURCH TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING
IS WORKING TO PLAN, THAT THE
TRAINING IS GOING WELL
00:18:21.60\00:18:26.63
AND TO JUST SEE THE
NEW CONVERTED SOULS.
00:18:26.63\00:18:28.76
YOU KNOW, IN ANDHRA PRADESH
ALONE 49,000 PEOPLE WERE
BAPTIZED LAST YEAR.
00:18:28.76\00:18:36.00
IN CHECKING THE 1226 THAT YOU
MENTIONED A WHILE AGO, HOW DO
YOU ARRIVE AT 107 FOR HERE AND
00:18:36.00\00:18:43.23
42 FOR THERE?
00:18:43.23\00:18:45.10
HOW DO YOU ARRIVE AT
THOSE KINDS OF DISTRIBUTIONS?
00:18:45.10\00:18:50.76
I SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT THE STACK
OF PAPERWORK THAT CAME IN FROM
00:18:50.76\00:18:55.46
THE FIELD. BUT
THE CHURCH HAS VOTED.
00:18:55.46\00:18:58.50
THEY CAME UP WITH THE NUMBERS
THAT THEY NEED IN THE AREA FOR
GOING INTO VARIOUS VILLAGES THAT
00:18:58.50\00:19:04.20
HAVE NEVER BEEN ENTERED BEFORE
THAT ARE RIPE FOR THE HARVEST.
00:19:04.20\00:19:08.06
THOSE CAME IN TO GOSPEL OUTREACH
AND WE SIMPLY TOOK THEIR
REQUESTS AND PUT THEM INTO " ONE
00:19:08.06\00:19:14.10
MILLION FOR JESUS ".
00:19:14.10\00:19:15.96
LARRY AS BOARD CHAIRMAN AND
YOU MEET TWICE A YEAR DO YOU?
00:19:15.96\00:19:22.53
WE MEET TWICE A YEAR AND THEN
THERE IS AN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
00:19:22.53\00:19:24.86
THAT CAN MEET
MORE OFTEN IF NEED BE.
00:19:24.86\00:19:26.56
O.K.
00:19:26.56\00:19:28.30
PRESIDENT DAN COMES ALONG AND
SAYS, CHAIRMAN LARRY WE HAVE A
REQUEST FOR 1226 WORKERS WHAT'S
00:19:28.30\00:19:34.13
ON YOUR AGENDA WHEN YOU
RECEIVE THIS KIND OF INFORMATON.
00:19:39.43\00:19:43.93
YOU KNOW LAST YEAR, OR LAST
OCTOBER WHEN WE BEGAN TO TALK
ABOUT THIS AND WORK OUT THESE
00:19:43.93\00:19:51.66
REQUESTS AND THE NUMBERS, WE
TALKED ABOUT THE STRATEGIES FOR
THE NEXT 3-5 YEARS WITH OUR
00:19:51.66\00:19:58.13
BOARD AND THE BOARD WAS VERY
SUPPORTIVE, VERY INSPIRED BOARD,
THE LORD IS BLESSING AND GAVE
00:19:58.13\00:20:05.36
SUPPORT FOR, YES LETS MOVE AHEAD
AND MAKE THE VISION VISIBLE TO
00:20:05.36\00:20:13.30
THE COMMUNITY, THE COMMUNITY
OF OUR DONORS, NEW DONORS.
00:20:13.30\00:20:16.50
YOU KNOW WE ARE NOT, IT'S ONE OF
THE THINGS THAT I LIKE ABOUT
GOSPEL OUTREACH WE PUT THE
00:20:16.50\00:20:22.53
INFORMATION OUT THERE AND IF THE
HOLY SPIRIT TOUCHES A HEART THAT
THIS IS SOMETHING YOU ARE CALLED
00:20:25.16\00:20:31.23
TO BE INVOLVED IN,
THAT'S WHAT WE ARE HOPING.
00:20:33.40\00:20:37.53
NOW, YOU'VE BEEN AROUND
MAJOR ORGANIZATIONS AND I HAVE A
00:20:37.53\00:20:41.90
LITTLE, AND WHEN WE COME TO NEW
INITIATIVES, DISCOVER NEW NEEDS
00:20:41.90\00:20:44.76
AND SO FORTH, WE BEGIN LOOKING
AT THE BOTTOM LINE AND SAY,
"WELL, WHEN THIS THING CAN TURN
00:20:44.76\00:20:50.83
AROUND OR SOME OTHER DRAMATIC
INTERVENTION HAPPENS THEN WE CAN
00:21:00.40\00:21:05.60
VOTE THIS". I GET THE SENSE THAT
GOSPEL OUTREACH DOESN'T WORK
00:21:05.60\00:21:09.83
JUST THAT WAY. CAN
YOU ADDRESS THIS ONE?
00:21:09.83\00:21:12.40
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE.
00:21:12.40\00:21:14.10
I'LL ADD TO IT.
00:21:14.10\00:21:15.43
THIS IS A POWERFUL THING.
00:21:15.43\00:21:17.26
I HAVE A MASTERS
DEGREE IN BUSINESS.
00:21:17.26\00:21:20.16
WE DON'T SPEND MONEY THAT WE
DON'T HAVE IN BUSINESS, RIGHT?
00:21:20.16\00:21:23.93
WE PLAN VERY CAREFULLY.
00:21:23.93\00:21:25.90
AT GOSPEL OUTREACH THIS
PLAN IS A GOD SIZED PLAN.
00:21:25.90\00:21:29.16
IT IS ONE THAT WE CAN'T SEE
THROUGH AT THIS POINT IN TIME,
BUT WE KNOW THAT GOD IS BLESSING
00:21:29.16\00:21:34.10
US AMONGST OURSELVES.
00:21:34.10\00:21:35.93
HERE WAS A QUESTION THAT
WAS BROUGHT TO THE SURFACE.
00:21:35.93\00:21:39.70
WHEN WE ARE IN HEAVEN AND WE
ALL BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS COMING
00:21:39.70\00:21:43.50
SOON, AND WE ARE ALL GATHERED
AROUND THE TREE AROUND THE
RIVER, WHEREVER IT IS WE ARE
00:21:43.50\00:21:47.46
GOING TO MEET AS THE GOSPEL
OUTREACH LITTLE GANG COMES
TOGETHER, WHEN WE LOOK BACK AT "
00:21:47.46\00:21:53.56
ONE MILLION FOR JESUS " WE'RE
NOT GOING TO LOOK BACK AND SAY
THAT PROJECT WAS TOO BIG.
00:21:53.56\00:21:59.30
WE ARE GOING TO LOOK BACK AT
IT AND SAY IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN
00:21:59.30\00:22:04.30
BIGGER. SO, GOSPEL OUTREACH
VOTES INITIATIVES BECAUSE IT
SEEMS THAT GOD HAS LED,
00:22:06.50\00:22:12.56
TAKE ME FROM THERE: ABSOLUTELY,
I THINK THAT THE PROOF THAT GOD
IS LEADING IS THAT THE MONEY
00:22:19.20\00:22:25.26
DOES COME IN.
00:22:28.70\00:22:30.40
WE DON'T KNOW THE PROPER TIMING.
00:22:30.40\00:22:33.96
WE KNOW THAT WE ARE
READY TO PROCEED, TO GROW;
00:22:33.96\00:22:38.33
THE LORD IS THE ONE
THAT HELPS SET THE AGENDA.
00:22:38.33\00:22:41.03
WE WANT TO FOLLOW HIM.
00:22:41.03\00:22:42.93
WE DON'T WANT TO PRESUME THAT
OUR IDEAS ARE THE IDEAS THAT THE
LORD WANTS TO BLESS.
00:22:42.93\00:22:49.50
WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT ARE
GOD'S PLANS AND HOW WE SHOULD
00:22:49.50\00:22:55.86
PROCEED. SO WHEN THE MONEY,
WHEN GOD TOUCHES A HEART AND THE
00:22:55.86\00:23:00.26
MONEY COMES IN, THEN WE INITIATE
AND DEVELOP AND PUSH THOSE PLANS
THAT THE BOARD HAS APPROVED.
00:23:00.26\00:23:07.36
I HAVE USED THE TERM I THINK,
00:23:07.36\00:23:09.63
WITH YOU BROTHERS BEFORE THAT
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS A MIRACLE
00:23:09.63\00:23:15.66
MINISTRY. AMEN.
00:23:15.66\00:23:17.40
THE STORIES, THERE ARE MANY
STORIES, ABOUT THE MIRACLES THAT
HAVE HAPPENED IN CONNECTION WITH
00:23:17.40\00:23:22.70
GOSPEL OUTREACH AND BEFORE YOUR
TIME WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH THE
VERY SECURING OF THIS BUILDING,
00:23:25.66\00:23:32.40
THAT WAS A MIRACLE, FOR GOSPEL
OUTREACH NOW HAS HEADQUARTERS,
AND THE STUDIO AND ALL THE REST
00:23:32.40\00:23:38.46
IS ONE MIRACLE AFTER ANOTHER.
00:23:43.76\00:23:46.83
AMEN.
00:23:46.83\00:23:48.46
WE ARE AT A POINT IN HISTORY
WHEN WE SHOULD NOT DOUBT THAT
GOD'S ARM IS LONG ENOUGH TO
00:23:48.46\00:23:54.60
REACH TO ANY KIND OF CHALLENGE
THAT WE ARE WILLING UNDER HIS
GRACE AND HIS POWER TO PICK UP.
00:23:58.60\00:24:04.73
AMEN.
00:24:07.43\00:24:08.93
IF YOU HAD ONLY A MINUTE DAN,
TO SAY SOMETHING TO OUR VIEWERS,
00:24:08.93\00:24:14.46
FROM YOUR HEART, YOU ARE HERE
DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY AND YOU
TAKE CALLS AND YOU TALK TO
00:24:18.90\00:24:24.36
PEOPLE AND YOU HEAR AND YOU READ
EMAILS AND WHATEVER, IF YOU HAD
ONE MINUTE THAT YOU'D LIKE TO
00:24:24.36\00:24:29.76
SPEAK TO DONORS,
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?
00:24:29.76\00:24:30.76
AND THERE'S YOUR CAMERA.
00:24:30.76\00:24:32.06
I WOULD SAY THIS, THESE DONORS
ARE JUST LIKE I WAS A FEW YEARS
00:24:32.06\00:24:36.63
AGO. AND I REMEMBER SEEING A MAN
HUNCHED WALKING AS I CAME HOME
FROM WORK AND A VOICE CAME TO ME
00:24:36.63\00:24:43.10
AND IT SAID THIS, "DAN DON'T
WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE THAT OLD
BEFORE YOU DO SOMETHING FOR ME
00:24:43.10\00:24:49.16
AND I'VE GOT A MISSION FOR YOU".
00:24:49.16\00:24:50.93
YOU KNOW I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THAT
MISSION WAS, BUT STEP BY STEP HE
TOOK ME ALONG THE PATH UNTIL I
00:24:50.93\00:24:55.80
ARRIVED HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH
AND I HAVE SEEN WHAT CAN BE DONE
00:24:55.80\00:25:01.66
AT THIS PLACE. NOW IS THE TIME,
NOT TO SIT ON THE FENCE ANY
00:25:01.66\00:25:05.43
LONGER. WE BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST
IS COMING SOON THE GIFT THAT YOU
00:25:05.43\00:25:10.90
GIVE TODAY GOES A LONG
WAYS IN SHARING THE GOSPEL.
00:25:10.90\00:25:13.03
FOR LESS THAN $6 A
SOUL COMES TO CHRIST.
00:25:13.03\00:25:16.70
THERE ARE PEOPLE GROUPS THAT
NEED TO BE TOUCHED, THEY ARE
RIPE FOR THE HARVEST AND JESUS
00:25:16.70\00:25:21.40
WILL POUR OUT A BLESSING NOT
JUST YOUR OWN GIFT BUT ON THE
00:25:21.40\00:25:26.20
GIVER AS WELL. AS I VOLUNTEER
HERE GOD HAS BLESSED ME SO
00:25:26.20\00:25:30.63
IMMENSELY. I'VE ALWAYS COME TO
WHAT I CALLED "A WALL" AND
COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET
00:25:30.63\00:25:34.93
OVER THAT WALL UNTIL FINALLY I
GOT INVOLVED IN SERVICE AND
THROUGH SERVING THAT'S WHERE THE
00:25:34.93\00:25:40.56
BLESSINGS COME.
00:25:40.56\00:25:42.53
THANK YOU, THANK YOU DAN.
00:25:42.53\00:25:44.46
CERTAINLY, THAT TESTIMONEY WILL
RESONATE IN YOUR OWN HEART AND
00:25:44.46\00:25:50.53
LIFE. A SENTENCE OR TWO LARRY,
THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY TO
THE FOLKS FROM YOUR POSITION AS
00:25:56.30\00:26:01.30
CHAIRMAN OF THIS BOARD.
00:26:01.30\00:26:03.83
IT IS A PRIVILEGE AND AN HONOR
TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE
VOLUNTEERS BOTH AT THE BOARD
00:26:03.83\00:26:08.36
LEVEL AND AT THE STAFF LEVEL AND
AT THE WORKER GROUP THAT IS IN
THIS AREA OF THE WORLD AND I
00:26:08.36\00:26:14.43
THINK THAT THE BLESSING
FOR ME IS THAT ASSOCIATION.
00:26:17.06\00:26:22.40
THE PEOPLE THAT MIGHT BE VIEWING
THIS ADDERES PARTICULAR SEGMENT
HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE PART
00:26:22.40\00:26:28.73
OF THAT TEAM AND IT IS
DEFINITELY A BROAD TEAM, BUT WE
NEED TO BE A BIGGER TEAM TO MEET
00:26:28.73\00:26:36.10
THE BIG CHALLENGE THAT WE HAVE.
00:26:36.10\00:26:38.40
THANK YOU DAN PREAS, THANK
YOU LARRY DODDS, AND THANK YOU
00:26:38.40\00:26:45.50
WHOEVER YOU ARE; GOD WILL BLESS
YOU AS YOU UNITE WITH GOSPEL
OUTREACH TO REACH ANOTHER SOUL
00:26:45.50\00:26:52.50
WHO NEEDS TO KNOW WHO JESUS IS.
00:26:52.50\00:27:00.23
[CLOSING MUSIC]
00:27:00.23\00:28:28.26
