02:59 YES, WE HAVE 618 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS IN OUR TERRITORY. 03:04 THAT IS A LOT OF WORKERS. 03:07 WHAT EXACTLY DO THEY DO IN REACHING THE UNREACHED VILLAGES? 03:12 HOW DO YOU SELECT THE VILLAGES? 03:15 WE SEND A TEAM TO SELECT THE VILLAGES. 03:19 THEY GO AROUND AND PICK VILLAGES. 03:23 THEY MAKE THREE OR FOUR TRIPS TO THAT PARTICULAR VILLAGE SOMETIMES DURING DAY TIME 03:30 SOMETIMES DURING NIGHT TIME. 03:32 THEY SELECT THE VILLAGES. 03:34 AFTER SELECTING THE VILLAGES THEY SEND ONE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER TO THAT PARTICULAR 03:40 VILLAGE TO LIVE THERE. 03:41 HE WILL BE STATIONED THERE BEFORE THE BIG EVANGELISM COMES. 03:46 HE VISITS PEOPLE DOOR TO DOOR. 03:49 HE TEACHES THEM HEALTH PRINCIPLES AND BIBLE STORIES TO ATTRACT THE CHILDREN. 03:56 HE HAS A SPECIAL FEATURE FOR WOMEN. 03:58 AS HE KEEPS ON WORKING HE GIVES THE REPORTS TO THE HEADQUARTERS THAT THE VILLAGE IS COMING UP. 04:06 ONCE HE IS READY THEN THEY CALL FOR A BIG MEETING. 04:12 ACTUALLY WE PUT TEN VILLAGES TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE. 04:16 FROM ALL TEN VILLAGES PEOPLE GATHER IN ONE PLACE AND ONE SPEAKER WILL BE THERE AND ONE 04:21 TRANSLATOR WILL BE THERE. 04:23 ALL THE CHURCH-RELATED TEACHINGS WILL BE GIVEN TO THEM AT THAT STAGE. 04:30 YOU START WITH THE SERVICE-BASED PROGRAM IN THE VILLAGES WHERE YOU HAVE 04:37 SOMETHING FOR CHILDREN, SOMETHING FOR WOMEN 04:40 AND SOMETHING FOR THE REST OF THE FAMILY? 04:45 RIGHT. 04:46 WE START OUR MINISTRY IN THE VILLAGE TO MAKE FRIENDS. 04:50 VISITING THE PEOPLE IN THE HOSPITALS, VISITING THE SICK PEOPLE AND PRAYING FOR THEM AND 04:57 GIVING THEM THE BIBLE STORIES FOR THE CHILDREN. 05:02 THE WOMEN WILL BE TAUGHT SOME HEALTH PRINCIPLES. 05:07 ORIGINALLY THIS IS FRIENDSHIP EVANGELISM. 05:10 THROUGH FRIENDSHIP EVANGELISM DOORS WILL BE OPENED FOR THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER. 05:18 OFTEN TIMES THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER WILL GO ALONG WITH HIS WIFE AND BOTH VISIT AND PREPARE 05:25 THE PEOPLE'S MINDS FOR THE EVANGELISM IN THE FUTURE. 05:28 I'M SO GLAD THAT YOU ARE EXPLAINING THE PROCESS BECAUSE MANY OF OUR VIEWERS ARE 05:34 SUPPORTING THIS WORK, AND THEY PRAY FOR YOU 05:38 AND IT WILL BE NICE FOR US TO KNOW THE PROCESS YOU FOLLOW. 05:42 SO THEY VISIT THE VILLAGE. 05:47 THE PASTOR AND HIS WIFE GO TOGETHER AND MAKE VISITS. 05:51 I UNDERSTAND YOU START MANY SEWING CENTERS IN YOUR UNION AS WELL. 05:57 WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THOSE? 05:59 THE SEWING CENTERS WILL HELP MOSTLY THOSE WHO ARE HOUSEWIVES TO PICK UP A TRADE. 06:07 WHILE LEARNING SEWING THEY ALSO WILL BE TAUGHT THE GOSPEL. 06:15 THEY LEARN SEWING AND THEY LEARN THE GOSPEL AND THEY GO TO THEIR VILLAGE AND THEY LEARN 06:20 THE CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES OF LIVING. 06:25 WHILE SEWING THEY TEACH PEOPLE, THOSE WHO COME TO HER FOR THEIR BUSINESS. 06:34 THIS WOMAN WILL BECOME A CENTER OF ATTRACTION IN THAT PARTICULAR AREA. 06:41 THIS SERVES A MULTIPURPOSE. 06:43 THE FIRST POINT IS THIS LADY WHO IS A HOUSEWIFE WILL EARN BY HAVING A TRADE. 06:56 THAT IS THE FIRST ONE. 06:57 FINANCIALLY THAT WILL BE A HELP TO THEM. 07:00 ECONOMICALLY THEIR HOME WILL BE BETTER. 07:03 THE SECOND, SHE WILL BE A CENTER OF EVANGELISM. 07:07 SHE WILL TEACH WHOEVER COMES TO HER. 07:11 THE THIRD POINT IS SHE WILL ATTRACT MANY WOMEN IN THAT VILLAGE. 07:14 GENERALLY IN OUR INDIAN CONTEXT WOMEN ARE VERY COMFORTABLE WITH WOMEN. 07:20 THEREFORE, THE SEWING CENTERS WILL BECOME A CENTER OF EVANGELISM 07:26 FOR THAT PARTICULAR COMMUNITY. 07:28 I ALSO UNDERSTOOD THAT THE SEWING CENTERS ATTRACT YOUNG LADIES WHO DO NOT GET TO GO TO 07:37 SCHOOL AND THEY ARE NOW OF MARRIAGE AGE. 07:41 LEARNING A TRADE IS GOING TO HELP THEM FIND BETTER HUSBANDS. 07:47 THEN THEY CAN MAKE A LIVING. 07:49 I BELIEVE THAT COMING TO JESUS MUST CHANGE AND IMPROVE EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIVES. 07:57 SO OUR BELIEVERS ARE TO BE MORE EDUCATED AND THEY SHOULD BE BETTER OFF ECONOMICALLY AND 08:06 THEY SHOULD BE WELL GROUNDED IN THE FAITH. 08:10 SO THIS IS AN OVERALL SERVICE-BASED STRATEGY. 08:16 TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE LEARNING CENTERS, THE ADULT LITERACY CENTERS. 08:21 I UNDERSTAND IN ALL YOUR CHURCHES YOU ARE TRYING TO PROMOTE THAT THEY BECOME ADULT 08:27 LITERACY CENTERS AS WELL BECAUSE IF THEY CAN READ THE BIBLE AND WRITE THEY CAN BECOME 08:34 COWORKERS WITH THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER. 08:36 EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT HOW YOU DO THAT. 08:40 IN OUR STATE THE LITERACY PERCENT IS ONLY 50. 08:47 BEYOND THAT I DON'T THINK THE PEOPLE ARE EDUCATED. 08:52 SO THROUGH THE LITERACY CENTERS WE ARE REACHING THESE WOMEN IN THE VILLAGES, 08:59 THOSE WHO HAVE NO QUALIFICATIONS. 09:03 THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY IDEA ABOUT THE ALPHABET OF THEIR LANGUAGE. 09:08 THEY SPEAK BUT THEY CANNOT WRITE AND THEY CANNOT READ. 09:11 WHEN THEY HAVE TO BOARD A BUS OR THEY HAVE TO BOARD A TRAIN AND THEY HAVE TO GIVE SOME 09:18 ACCOUNT ON CERTAIN FINANCIAL MATTERS THEY ARE HELPLESS. 09:23 THEREFORE, THE ADULT LITERACY CENTERS ARE CENTERS OF LEARNING AND CENTERS OF EVANGELISM. 09:31 THE LADIES COME THERE WITHOUT ANY KNOWLEDGE OF ANY LANGUAGE. 09:37 THEY COME AND SIT NIGHT AFTER NIGHT AND LEARN TO WRITE, THEY LEARN TO READ. 09:44 EVENTUALLY THEY LEARN TO SING AND THEY LEARN TO READ THE BIBLE. 09:49 FINALLY MOST OF THESE LADIES, BECAUSE OF THIS ADULT LITERACY EDUCATION, 09:56 ARE ABLE TO HELP PEOPLE IN THE VILLAGE. 09:59 THOSE WHO CANNOT READ, THOSE WHO CANNOT SING, THOSE WHO CANNOT WRITE. 10:03 THESE PEOPLE HAVE BECOME A GREAT HELP TO THE COMMUNITY. 10:09 THIS ADULT LITERACY EDUCATION IS NOT ONLY GIVING THEM LITERACY IT IS GIVING THEM AN 10:13 IDEA OF HOW THEY CAN SHARE THEIR FAITH WITH OTHER PEOPLE BY READING THE BIBLE 10:15 SYSTEMATICALLY AND EXPLAINING TO THEM SYSTEMATICALLY WHAT THE GOSPEL REALLY IS. 10:30 THAT WILL REALLY STRENGTHEN OUR OVERALL WORK WON'T IT? 10:36 YES. 10:37 I WAS SMILING AT THE POINT YOU MADE THAT WHEN THEY TRAVEL BY BUS OR TRAIN THEY NEED TO 10:42 FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH TO PAY. 10:44 I TELL YOU AN EXPERIENCE. 10:47 MY MOTHER COULD NOT READ OR WRITE. 10:50 WHENEVER SHE WOULD TRAVEL SHE WOULD HAVE HER MONEY IN HER PURSE. 10:56 SHE WOULD OPEN IT UP AND GIVE IT TO THE TICKET COLLECTOR. 11:00 SHE WOULD SAY WHATEVER YOU NEED FOR MY FARE YOU CAN TAKE IT AND GIVE ME THE BALANCE. 11:07 I TELL YOU, THEY WERE ALWAYS VERY GRACIOUS TO HER. 11:11 THEY WOULD TAKE JUST WHAT WAS NEEDED AND GIVE THE MONEY BACK TO HER AND THEY WOULD SMILE. 11:16 I CAN SEE HOW VALUABLE IT WOULD BE FOR LADIES TO BE ABLE TO COUNT AND BE ABLE TO TELL THE 11:27 TICKET COLLECTORS IN TRAVEL TIME THAT THIS IS HOW MUCH I NEED TO PAY YOU. 11:35 THAT'S A VERY VERY GOOD IDEA. 11:36 I THINK THE FACT THAT ONCE THEY ARE EDUCATED THEY CAN GET BETTER MARRIAGE PROSPECTS IS 11:44 VERY VERY IMPORTANT IN OUR VILLAGES. 11:47 OTHERWISE THE DOWRY GOES HIGHER DOESN'T IT. 11:50 IF YOU ARE COMPLETELY UNEDUCATED 11:52 YOU MAY HAVE TO PAY A HIGHER DOWRY TO GET A HUSBAND. 11:56 IS THAT STILL HAPPENING? 11:58 A WOMAN IF SHE IS EDUCATED WILL HELP HERSELF. 12:04 SHE WILL HELP THE COMMUNITY IF SHE KNOWS MUCH ABOUT THE GOSPEL AND CAN READ THE BIBLE. 12:13 THROUGH HER LIFE PEOPLE WILL BE BENEFITED. 12:16 I WANT TO REMIND OUR VIEWERS THAT YOU ARE WATCHING "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS." 12:22 TODAY WE ARE TALKING FROM OUR HEADQUARTERS IN COLLEGE PLACE WITH DR. VICTOR SAM. 12:31 HE IS THE PRESIDENT OF EAST CENTRAL INDIA UNION. 12:34 WE ARE DELIGHTED HE HAS JOINED US. 12:37 HE IS GIVING US A FIRST-HAND REPORT IN TERMS OF HOW THE WORK IS GOING ON IN HIS UNION. 12:46 PASTOR SAM, LAST YEAR YOU ADOPTED 500 VILLAGE EVANGELISTIC CAMPAIGNS. 12:52 CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THE RESULTS HAVE BEEN? 12:55 HOW MANY VILLAGES HAVE YOU ENTERED? 12:59 HOW MANY CAMPAIGNS WERE CONDUCTED AND WHAT WAS THE END RESULT? 13:05 LAST YEAR 2011 WE HAD MORE THAN 20 EVANGELISTIC CRUSADES. 13:12 FOR ALL THOSE CRUSADES THE MAIN WORKING FORCE FROM GIVING BIBLE STUDIES AND VISITING PEOPLE AND 13:24 THE MAIN MEETINGS WAS GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS WHO WERE USED. 13:28 IN ALL THESE 20 EVANGELISTIC CRUSADES WE WERE ABLE TO ENTER INTO 200 NEW VILLAGES. 13:34 THE RESULT IS FIFTY THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED FIFTY BAPTISMS. 13:38 PRAISE GOD FOR THAT. 13:39 THAT MEANS THESE 200 VILLAGES HAVE THE GOSPEL MESSAGE AND THE PEOPLE ARE EXCITED. 13:59 PEOPLE ARE LEARNING CHRISTIAN LIVING, PEOPLE ARE LEARNING LIFESTYLE, 14:05 PEOPLE ARE LEARNING HOW TO LIVE A BETTER LIFE, PEOPLE ARE LEARNING TO SEND THEIR CHILDREN 14:11 TO THE SCHOOLS. 14:12 PEOPLE ARE LEARNING MOST VALUABLE THINGS THAT ARE RELATED TO THEIR PERSONAL LIFE. 14:19 SO THAT WAS THE ACHIEVEMENT OF OUR LAST YEARS EVANGELISM. 14:23 I WOULD LIKE TO EMPHASIZE IN ALL THIS EVANGELISM THAT THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS HAVE 14:30 PLAYED A VERY VERY DOMINATE AND IMPORTANT ROLE TO GET THESE PEOPLE FOR JESUS CHRIST. 14:38 I WANT TO TAKE A MINUTE HERE TO THANK OUR VIEWERS. 14:43 YOU HAVE JUST HEARD PASTOR VICTOR SAM MENTIONING THAT FIFTY THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED 14:50 AND FIFTY NEW BELIEVERS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE FAMILY OF GOD. 14:55 WHILE YOU ARE WATCHING WOULD YOU JUST SAY 14:57 "AMEN" SITTING RIGHT THERE AS YOU ARE WATCHING? 15:02 OUR GOD IS DOING MIRACLES. 15:03 IT IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING US THE WAY HE IS OPENING UP THE DOORS. 15:09 I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE OVER ONE THOUSAND VILLAGE LEADERS 15:14 WHO HAVE NOW INVITED YOU TO SEND WORKERS. 15:18 EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT. 15:21 IN ANDHRA PRADESH THERE IS A GREAT OPENING FOR THE GOSPEL. 15:28 FROM TOP TO BOTTOM EVERY COMMUNITY IS INTERESTED IN STUDYING 15:34 GOD'S WORD IN THEIR MOTHER TONGUE. 15:39 THEY SPEAK TELUGU , THEY READ TELUGU. 15:42 THEY WANT TO LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHO SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE. 15:48 ONE ADVANTAGE WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS IS ALL OF THEM CAN READ 15:54 AND WRITE AND SPEAK TELUGU LANGUAGE. 15:58 SO FROM TOP TO BOTTOM INDIA IS A COMMUNITY-BASED COUNTRY. 16:04 ACCORDING TO CULTURE AND ACCORDING TO THE SOCIAL STATUS THE COMMUNITIES ARE DIVIDED. 16:14 AT ONE STAGE HIGHER COMMUNITY PEOPLE HAVE NOT ACCEPTED THE GOSPEL. 16:18 BUT NOW THE TIMES HAVE CHANGED AND ALL THE COMMUNITY PEOPLE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM ARE 16:26 INTERESTED IN THE GOSPEL. 16:28 ONE BASIC REASON IS WE HELP PEOPLE TO REACH THEM. 16:33 WHAT YOU SAID IS RIGHT. 16:35 WE HAVE A THOUSAND INVITATIONS TO VISIT THEIR VILLAGES AND WE WANT TO SEND GOSPEL OUTREACH 16:41 WORKERS TO ALL THESE VILLAGES. 16:43 THERE IS A GREAT HARVEST ON THE WAY. 16:47 THE RESULTS WILL BE GREAT. 16:49 WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FINISH ONE THOUSAND VILLAGES IN 2012 OR 2013. 16:56 IT MIGHT TAKE SOME TIME FOR THIS, BUT THE CALLS ARE THERE. 17:00 PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED. 17:01 THEY ARE WILLING TO JOIN OUR CHURCH IF WE SYSTEMATICALLY WORK AND TEACH THEM. 17:05 WHEN WE APPROACH THEM TO GIVE THEM A BETTER LIFESTYLE 17:09 OF THE GOSPEL WE WILL BE ABLE TO REACH THOSE PEOPLE. 17:14 DR. SAM YOU HAVE REALLY MADE A VERY IMPORTANT POINT AND I WANT TO REMIND OUR VIEWERS HOW THEY 17:19 CAN GET INVOLVED IN SUPPORTING THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS TO REACH THESE ONE THOUSAND NEW 17:26 VILLAGES FROM WHERE YOU HAVE RECEIVED INVITATIONS. 17:29 IT COSTS ABOUT $150.00 PER GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER PER MONTH. 17:35 I'M ENCOURAGING OUR VIEWERS TO HAVE A FAMILY ADOPT ONE OF THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 17:40 WE WILL SEND A SPECIFIC REPORT TO YOU ABOUT YOUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER WITH HIS 17:56 PICTURE AND A SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES. 18:00 YOU WILL BE KEPT INFORMED. 18:01 PERHAPS YOU ARE PART OF A SABBATH SCHOOL AND MAYBE YOUR SABBATH SCHOOL CLASS MAY WANT 18:07 TO ADOPT A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER. 18:10 MAYBE YOU HAVE A FRIEND OR LOVED ONE IN WHOSE MEMORY 18:15 YOU MAY WANT TO ADOPT A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER. 18:19 ALTHOUGH I HAVE NOT SAID THIS BEFORE SOME OF YOU COULD PROBABLY PUT GOSPEL OUTREACH IN 18:27 YOUR WILL SO THAT PART OF YOUR WILL COULD GO TOWARDS GOSPEL OUTREACH TO SUPPORT NEW GOSPEL 18:34 OUTREACH WORKERS FOR THE AREAS WHERE GOD'S WORD HAS NOT ENTERED YET. 18:40 I ALSO SUGGEST TO PERHAPS REDO YOUR FAMILY BUDGET. 18:45 THERE IS A LITTLE STRATEGY I SHARE WITH EVERYBODY AND THAT IS TO LIST ALL THE ITEMS THAT 18:51 YOU SPENT MONEY ON LAST MONTH. 18:57 TAKE A RED PEN AND RED LINE EVERY ITEM YOU COULD HAVE LIVED WITHOUT. 19:03 THEN MAKE A NEW LIST AND THIS TIME TAKE A BLUE PEN AND GO OVER THE LIST ONE MORE TIME AND 19:12 BLUE LINE WHAT YOU COULD HAVE LIVED WITHOUT. 19:15 THEN MAKE A THIRD LIST AND THIS TIME TAKE A GREEN PEN 19:18 AND GREEN LINE ANYTHING YOU COULD HAVE WAITED FOR. 19:23 I'M A FINANCIAL PLANNER AND I DO THIS FOR A LIVING 19:29 AND TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO DO THEIR FAMILY BUDGETS. 19:32 I TELL YOU THEY CAN SAVE THREE TO FOUR TO FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS BY GOING THROUGH THIS 19:37 PRIORITIZING AND DEVELOPING THE FAMILY BUDGET. 19:40 HERE ARE SOME OF THE WAYS YOU COULD ADOPT A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER FROM YOUR OWN FAMILY. 19:48 I WOULD SUGGEST HAVING CHILDREN INVOLVED IN ADOPTING A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER. 19:55 THAT WAY WE WILL ENCOURAGE THEM TO BE ACTIVE IN SHARING THEIR FAITH AND BEING ACTIVE IS ONE 20:03 OF THE BEST WAYS TO KEEP OUR FAMILIES IN THE FAITH. 20:06 DR. SAM, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR SHARING ALL THIS. 20:12 GIVE ME A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION OR SHARE SOME MORE INFORMATION. 20:16 WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE PLANS? 20:17 WHERE DO YOU THINK YOUR UNION IS GOING IN TERMS OF EXPANDING THE MISSION? 20:24 OUR CONCENTRATION NOW IS WE HAVE 13 FIELD UNITS. 20:30 IN ALL 13 FIELD UNITS WE HAVE VILLAGES AND WE HAVE TOWNS UNENTERED WITH THE GOSPEL. 20:38 THEREFORE IN 2012 AND 2013 WE WANT TO CONCENTRATE ON THE VILLAGES WHERE WE HAVE A CALL. 20:49 WHEN WE GO THERE TO TAKE THE GOSPEL WE NEED EXTRA WORKERS FOR THE GOSPEL OUTREACH TEAMS. 20:59 ALONG WITH THIS 618 WE NEED TO HAVE ANOTHER 500 NEW GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS IMMEDIATELY. 21:07 THIS IS AN IMMEDIATE NEED. 21:09 IF WE START THIS PROCESS NOW BY THE END OF 2013 WE WILL BE ABLE TO REACH ALL ONE THOUSAND 21:17 VILLAGES FROM WHERE WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY CALL. 21:21 YOU HAVE A NEW GOAL, SOMETHING CALLED "ONE MILLION FOR JESUS." 21:26 WE HAVE A GOAL OF ONE MILLION FOR JESUS BY 2015. 21:31 BY 2015 WE WANT TO REACH THIS GOAL. 21:36 ALREADY WE HAVE ONE MILLION MEMBERSHIP IN OUR UNION WITHIN THE TWO STATES 21:41 OF ANDHRA PRADESH AND ORISSA. 21:44 SINCE THE OPENING IS THERE AND SINCE GOSPEL OUTREACH IS SUPPORTING OUR MINISTRY IN 21:50 ANDHRA PRADESH WE HAVE NO QUESTION 21:53 AND WE HAVE NO DOUBT WE WILL CERTAINLY REACH THESE VILLAGES WITH THE GOSPEL THROUGH THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 22:01 BEFORE THAT WE HAVE TO CONDUCT A TRAINING PROGRAM FOR WHOMEVER WE SELECT. 22:08 AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN TRAINED WE WILL SEND THEM TO THOSE VILLAGES WITH ENOUGH BIBLES 22:15 WITH THEM TO STUDY IN THE VILLAGE WITH ALL CLASSES OF PEOPLE. 22:19 THE WOMEN, CHILDREN, YOUTH, ADULTS, EVERYBODY. 22:22 WE WILL SUPPLY ENOUGH BIBLES TO THESE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO ENTER 22:30 INTO NEW VILLAGES WHERE THERE IS NO WORD OF GOD. 22:33 THEY WILL SIT AROUND IN THE NIGHT, THEY WILL SIT AROUND DURING THE DAYTIME AND THEY SIT 22:38 AROUND ANYTIME THEY CAN ALONG WITH THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER AND OPEN THE SCRIPTURES AND 22:45 READ THE GOSPEL TO THEM AND MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CAN LIVE A BETTER LIFE IN THIS 22:51 PARTICULARLY LOST AND DARK WORLD. 22:54 DR. SAM YOU ALSO TOLD ME SOME OF THE FIGURES. 22:56 WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO DO SOME OF THE OTHER SERVICE-BASED MINISTRIES? 23:02 I WANT TO REMIND OUR VIEWERS THAT AS WE MENTIONED A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER CAN BE ADOPTED 23:08 FOR JUST $150.00 A MONTH. 23:10 WHAT A GREAT INVESTMENT THAT IS. 23:12 IT'S ABOUT SIX DOLLARS PER SOUL. 23:15 INVESTING SIX DOLLARS YOU CAN SAVE A SOUL. 23:19 ALSO TO SET UP A SEWING CENTER 23:24 IS APPROXIMATELY TWENTY-FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ONE TIME 23:28 INVESTMENT. THAT WOULD TRAIN TEN GIRLS EVERY SIX MONTHS. 23:35 SO IN A YEAR WE CAN HAVE TWENTY ADVENTIST FAMILIES BECOME SELF SUFFICIENT. 23:41 WHAT A GREAT INVESTMENT. 23:43 THAT IS WHAT STRENGTHENS OUR CHURCH. 23:45 MAYBE A FAMILY WOULD ADOPT A SEWING CENTER IN THE MEMORY OF A LOVED ONE 23:50 OR JUST IN THE NAME OF THE FAMILY. 23:52 ANOTHER BIG NEED THAT YOU MENTIONED TO ME WAS THE SETTING UP OF SAFE DRINKING WATER. 24:02 IT WAS AT JACOB'S WELL WHERE JESUS MET A PERSON IN NEED. 24:08 TO ESTABLISH A SAFE DRINKING WATER WELL IN A VILLAGE 24:13 WOULD INVITE THE ENTIRE VILLAGE TO COME THERE. 24:17 WHAT A GREAT SERVICE OPPORTUNITY THAT IS. 24:20 THAT'S ABOUT TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS TO SET UP A SAFE DRINKING WATER WELL. 24:27 I THINK THAT IS AWESOME. 24:30 THEN YOU MENTIONED THAT TO BUY A BIBLE FOR A NEW BELIEVER IS ONLY FIVE DOLLARS PER PERSON. 24:38 I THINK THESE ARE REAL GREAT WAYS TO MAKE OUR WORK STRONGER AND EXPAND THE VISION. 24:47 THIS "ONE MILLION FOR JESUS," THIS IS REALLY AWESOME. 24:51 I'M TOLD THAT YOUR STATE MAY SOMEDAY BECOME THE FIRST CHRISTIAN STATE. 24:57 THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. 24:58 THE AVENUE IS SO WIDE OPEN. 25:03 I WANT TO THANK OUR VIEWERS FOR THEIR DEDICATED LIFE, FOR THEIR CONSISTENT PRAYERS. 25:08 I WANT TO ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY THAT WE NEED DAILY CONSISTENT PRAYER TO SUPPORT OUR GOSPEL 25:17 OUTREACH WORKERS. 25:19 WE HAVE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS WORKING UNDER MANY, MANY TRYING CIRCUMSTANCES. 25:24 SOME OF THEM ARE AT TIMES HAULED AWAY TO PRISON AND BEATEN. 25:31 SOME OF THEM ARE CRITICIZED BY OTHER NONSEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST WORKERS. 25:38 THEIR WORK BECOMES VERY VERY TOUGH. 25:40 HOWEVER, FOR RECEIVING VERY LITTLE SALARY THEY ARE DOING AWESOME WORK. 25:48 THAT'S WHY WE CALL THEM VOLUNTEERS. 25:50 ALSO YOU HAVE LEADERSHIP THAT IS VERY VERY SUPPORTIVE. 25:58 I'M DELIGHTED TO HAVE HAD A LITTLE PART IN YOUR UNION 26:05 TO WORK WITH YOUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 26:07 THIS LAST FEBRUARY WE HELD THE GOSPEL OUTREACH TRAINING FOR 600 OF YOUR DELEGATES. 26:14 WE ALSO HELD A YOUTH CONGRESS. 26:16 THE EAST CENTRAL INDIA UNION IS DEVELOPING A VERY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. 26:26 SO YOU HAVE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS WORKING WITH THE YOUTH IN THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA. 26:33 THEN HAVING WOMEN TRAINED. 26:37 MANY OF OUR CHURCHES ARE FULL OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN. 26:40 HAVING GOSPEL OUTREACH SUPPORTED BY WOMEN AND CHILDREN IS A GREAT IDEA. 26:48 WE HAVE NOT UTILIZED THESE TWO GROUPS EFFECTIVELY, BUT WE PLAN TO. 26:53 I WANT TO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR BEING WITH US AND BRINGING THE REPORT DIRECTLY FROM THE FIELD. 26:58 IT MEANS SO MUCH TO OUR VIEWERS. 27:00 CLOSING MUSIC. 27:17 I NEED TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL HERE AT HOME. 27:20 WHERE IS THE 10-40 WINDOW ANYWAY. 27:24 THOSE PEOPLE ARE TOO FAR AWAY. 27:27 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. 27:45 ACTUALLY YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. 27:48 AND JESUS ASKED YOU TO GO TO ALL THE WORLD. 27:52 WHERE? 27:53 ALL THE WORLD. 27:55 HOW CAN I GO, I HAVE COMMITMENTS. 27:57 YOU CAN PRAY. 27:59 YOU CAN VOLUNTEER YOUR TALENTS. 28:05 YOU CAN TELL OTHERS. 28:07 YOU CAN GIVE MONEY TO SPONSOR BIBLE WORKERS. 28:10 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. |
