WEBB, I HAVE A QUESTION BEFORE WE TAKE A BREAK. 14:53 IS THE SIGN LANGUAGE OR THE LANGUAGE ITSELF THAT IS USED IN THE PHILIPPINES IS IT DIFFERENT 14:58 THAN WHAT IT IS, SAY HERE? 15:01 FORTUNATELY, MOST OF THE PEOPLE THERE UNDERSTOOD AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE BUT THERE ARE MANY, 15:05 MANY DIFFERENT DIALECTS OF SIGN LANGUAGE. 15:07 OK. 15:08 BUT MOST OF THE PEOPLE THERE UNDERSTOOD AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE WHICH JEFF KNEW. 15:11 GOOD. 15:13 HOW IS GOSPEL OUTREACH DOING IN SPONSORING THIS WORK? 15:19 THEY ARE PROVIDING FOR THREE DIFFERENT WORKERS IN THE PHILIPPINES 15:23 AND IT'S A VERY OPEN FIELD. 15:30 THERE ARE MANY, MANY DEAF PEOPLE THERE AND WE ARE FINDING THEM COMING OUT OF THE 15:33 WOODWORK, I MEAN PEOPLE THAT WE HAD NO IDEA. 15:36 SO, I WOULD INVITE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE LISTENING TO PAY ATTENTION AND TO CONTRIBUTE TO 15:43 THE WORK OF GOSPEL OUTREACH. 15:44 RIGHT. 15:45 YOU HAVE MORE STUFF FOR US. 15:47 YOU WANT TO TELL THEM ABOUT HOW THEY CAN MAKE THESE CONTRIBUTIONS? 15:50 SURE. 15:51 BEFORE WE CONTINUE WITH THE REST OF THE REPORT, AS YOU CAN TELL THERE ARE DIFFERENT FACETS 15:57 OF THIS MINISTRY. 15:59 THERE ARE DIFFERENT MULTIPLE LEVELS OF OUTREACH, OF GOSPEL OUTREACH THAT IS FOCUSED IN THE 16:05 PHILIPPINES. 16:07 ONE IN PARTICULAR, WAS PERHAPS, I WOULD SAY, ONE OF THE MOST NEGLECTED FIELDS OF PEOPLE 16:12 GROUPS WHICH ARE THE DEAF GROUP. 16:14 IN FACT, IT HAPPENS TO ALSO BE IN AMERICA. 16:17 I HEAR A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS UNDER, I WOULD SAY, UNDER ATTENDED FIELD. 16:24 ONE WAY TO GET INVOLVED IS BY YOUR ABSOLUTE, GENEROUS PRAYERS. 16:30 THEN, IF THE LORD PROMPTS YOU TO GET MORE INVOLVED IN SPONSORING THIS MASSIVE WORK OF 16:36 GOSPEL OUTREACH IN THE PHILIPPINES YOU CAN CONTACT US AT: GOSPEL OUTREACH, 16:58 IF YOU PREFER TO BROWSE THROUGH OUR COLORFUL WEBSITE AND GETTING A BROADER VIEW OF THE 17:04 OPERATIONS OF GOSPEL OUTREACH, 17:08 YOU CAN GO TO OUR WEBSITE 17:15 DR.

22:07 THE FIRST BAPTIZED FROM GOSPEL OUTREACH WORK. 22:09 OH. 22:11 THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS BUT WE HAVE HAD MANY SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST 22:15 CHILDREN THAT HAVE GONE TO OTHER DENOMINATIONS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A WORK FOR THE DEAF 22:20 AND THEY HAVE JOINED THE OTHER CHURCHES. 22:22 SO THIS IS A MEANS OF SAVING OUR OWN PEOPLE AS WELL AS BRINGING IN NEW ONES. 22:28 THERE AT MOUNTAIN VIEW COLLEGE, WE HAD A CHILD OF ONE OF OUR STAFF WHO IS DEAF AND SHE WENT 22:35 TO A SCHOOL DOWN IN DAVAO. 22:37 THE SCHOOL ITSELF IS NONDENOMINATIONAL BUT THE ONE OF THE OTHER CHURCHES HAD A 22:44 DORMITORY THAT THE CHILDREN STAYED IN AND SHE JOINED THAT CHURCH. 22:50 WE MIGHT HAVE MISSED THOSE FIGURES FROM THE BEGINNING, BUT WHAT IS THE PERCENTAGE, 22:53 WHAT NUMBER OF DEAF PEOPLE IN THE PHILIPPINES? 22:56 I DON'T KNOW JUST WHAT THE NUMBER IS AND I'M NOT SURE ANYONE DOES BECAUSE MANY OF 23:03 THESE THAT WE HAVE IN MINDANAO ARE COMING FROM THE TRIBAL PEOPLE IN THE MOUNTAINS. 23:08 THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE THERE ARE OUT THERE AND WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW MANY 23:12 DEAF THERE WERE UNTIL WE STARTED THIS WORK FOR THE DEAF AND AS I SAY, 23:16 THEY COME OUT OF THE WOODWORK WHEN THEY HEAR WE HAVE A PROGRAM FOR THE DEAF, 23:19 THEY COME, THEY WANT TO BE A PART OF THIS. 23:21 ARE THESE PEOPLE ALSO BEING TRAINED SO THEY CAN GO BACK AND BE LEADERS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES 23:26 OF DEAF PEOPLE? 23:27 THAT IS THE PLAN WHEN WE GET THIS SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF 23:29 ESTABLISHED THAT THEY WILL BE TRAINED. 23:32 THERE ARE SOME OF THOSE THAT WERE JUST BAPTIZED AND HAVE EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN 23:36 BECOMING MINISTERS TO THE DEAF IN THE PHILIPPINES. 23:40 PRAISE GOD, PRAISE GOD. 23:41 DR. WEBB THE QUESTION THAT I HAVE, BY AND LARGE WHEN YOU HAVE TARGETED THE DEAF 23:50 CONCENTRATION OF THIS AREA, CAN THEY ALSO MINISTER TO OTHER DEAF PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT PARTS 23:56 OF THE WORLD GIVEN THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S ALMOST LIKE A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE. 24:00 BECAUSE YOU SAID THEY UNDERSTAND THE ENGLISH VERSION OF IT AND I'M PRETTY SURE THE 24:04 ENGLISH VERSION OF SIGN LANGUAGE IS PRETTY MUCH ACCEPTED OR USED THROUGHOUT? 24:09 I WOULDN'T SAY THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO GO MOST ANYWHERE AS I UNDERSTAND IN INDIA; 24:14 THEY DON'T USE AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE AT ALL. 24:15 O.K. 24:17 SO, THEY WOULD BE A COMPLETE FOREIGN TONGUE IF THEY WENT THERE. 24:20 AND AS FAR AS SUPPLEMENTS, MATERIALS, LITERATURE AND SO FORTH, 24:26 THERE IS VERY LITTLE BEING PRODUCED DIRECTLY FOR THEM. 24:28 THERE IS AN EFFORT GOING ON RIGHT NOW TO DEVELOP MORE DVD'S THAT THEY CAN WATCH AND THEY 24:36 CAN GET THEMESSAGE IN A MORE DISTINCT WAY, THAT WAY. 24:40 I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE BIBLE STUDIES THAT HAVE BEEN PREPARED IN SIGN LANGUAGE 24:44 WHERE THEY CAN LEARN AND STUDY. 24:48 NOW THE SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED, IT IS ON A PROPERTY OUT IN A RURAL AREA. 24:55 THEY ARE EXPECTING THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO PRODUCE MOST OF THEIR OWN FOOD THERE AND SO IT 25:00 WOULD BE VERY INEXPENSIVE FOR THEM TO ATTEND. 25:02 IS THE SCHOOL, THE BUILDING OF THE SCHOOL SPONSORED BY GOSPEL OUTREACH? 25:07 YES AND NO. 25:09 IT IS SPONSORED BY SOME INDIVIDUALS IN CANADA THAT HAVE SEEN THE NEED AND HAVE 25:16 GENEROUSLY CONTRIBUTED TO IT, NOT ENOUGH TO FINISH IT, 25:19 RIGHT, BUT PROBABLY ENOUGH TO GET STARTED. 25:21 WE ARE HOPING TO OPEN THE SCHOOL IN JUNE WHEN THE SCHOOL YEAR BEGINS. 25:24 WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL! 25:27 I SEE YOU HAVE A TALL LIST OF THINGS. 25:29 I'VE FINISHED. 25:30 YOU RE FINISHED? 25:31 YES. 25:32 VERY GOOD. 25:33 YOU DIDN'T SNIP ANYTHING OUT? 25:34 I MOVE QUICKLY. 25:36 WELL, IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE TO HAVE YOU WITH US AGAIN. 25:40 DO YOU GO TO THE PHILIPPINES ONCE A YEAR? 25:43 I GO ONCE A YEAR, YES. 25:44 HOW LONG WERE YOU THERE THIS LAST TIME? 25:45 I WAS THERE SEVEN WEEKS. 25:47 I JUST RETURNED LAST MONDAY. 25:48 SEVEN WEEKS. 25:49 CAN YOU ADJUST TO THE LIVING CONDITIONS FAIRLY WELL OR? 25:54 WELL, I LIVED IN THE PHILIPPINES FOR 12 YEARS, SO TO ME IT'S A PLEASURE TO GO BACK 26:01 AND TO VISIT MY FRIENDS AGAIN. 26:03 AND THEN WHEN YOU LEAVE, HOW DO YOU KEEP SUPERVISING THE OPERATION? 26:07 WELL, I AM IN TOUCH BY EMAIL ALMOST EVERY WEEK. 26:11 O.K. 26:12 WITH SOMEONE THERE. 26:13 BY THE WAY, ONE QUESTION PASTOR JEFF, IS HE SPEAKING AS WELL? 26:18 OR IS HE DEAF? 26:19 NO, HE IS DEAF. 26:21 WHO IS HE ASSOCIATED WITH? 26:22 HE IS A PASTOR OF A DEAF CHURCH IN TENNESSEE. 26:25 SDA, SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH? 26:27 YES. 26:28 WONDERFUL. 26:30 WE INVITE YOU TO CONTACT US: GOSPEL OUTREACH 509-525-2951 OR IF YOU PREFER TO WRITE TO US: 26:47 THE LORD SAID GO TO THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD TO BRING THIS GOSPEL AS A WITNESS THEN THE 26:56 END SHALL COME. 26:58 JOIN US AGAIN AND UNTIL THEN MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU. 27:02 (CLOSING MUSIC) 27:18 PEOPLE I NEED TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL HERE AT HOME. 27:20 WHERE IS THE 10-40 WINDOW ANYWAY? 27:23 THOSE ARE TOO FAR AWAY. 27:26 SOMEONE ELSE CAN TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS. 27:29 MAYBE THEY COULD JUST WATCH TV. 27:32 NEARLY THREE BILLION PEOPLE TO REACH, MY HEAD HURTS. 27:38 THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO, I GIVE UP. 27:41 WHAT'S THE POINT OF TRYING? 27:43 I CAN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE. 27:44 ACTUALLY YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. 27:48 AND JESUS ASKED YOU TO GO TO ALL THE WORLD. 27:51 WHERE? 27:53 ALL THE WORLD. 27:54 HOW CAN I GO, I HAVE COMMITMENTS. 27:57 YOU CAN PRAY. 27:59 YOU CAN VOLUNTEER YOUR TALENTS. 28:04 YOU CAN TELL OTHERS. 28:07 YOU CAN GIVE MONEY TO SPONSOR BIBLE WORKERS. 28:11 MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE SEARCHING FOR HOPE AND MEANING. 28:14 BUT THEY WON'T FIND IT WITHOUT YOU. 28:16 BE THE SPARK. 28:17 LIGHT THE FIRE. 28:19 FINISH THE WORK. 28:20 FINISH THE WORK. |
