OPENING MUSIC.
00:00:01.96\00:00:23.60
HELLO GOOD FRIENDS.
00:00:23.60\00:00:25.33
I AM SO PLEASED TO HAVE THE
PRIVILEGE TO BE HERE ON THE SET
OF GOSPEL OUTREACH TO BRING YOU
00:00:25.33\00:00:31.16
ANOTHER PROGRAM OF
"ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS."
00:00:33.40\00:00:36.73
AS YOU HAVE PROBABLY HEARD ME
SAY ON OTHER OCCASIONS, THESE
DAYS WHEN I GET TO BE HERE
00:00:36.73\00:00:43.83
HELPING PRESENT THESE PROGRAMS
ARE SOME OF THE BEST DAYS OF MY
LIFE BECAUSE I GET TO CONNECT
00:00:43.83\00:00:49.90
WITH THE WONDERFUL PEOPLE WHO
ARE HERE MAKING THESE PROGRAMS
00:00:52.23\00:00:56.13
POSSIBLE AS FAR AS
TECHNOLOGY IS CONCERNED.
00:00:56.13\00:00:58.70
I WON'T START NAMING
THEM BECAUSE I KNOW I'D MISS
00:00:58.70\00:01:03.10
SOMEBODY, BUT JUST KNOW THAT WE
ARE BLESSED TO HAVE THE CREW WHO
MAKE THESE PROGRAMS POSSIBLE.
00:01:03.10\00:01:09.80
WHEN WE COME HERE TO DO THESE
PROGRAMS IT IS USUALLY IN
CONNECTION WITH A PART OF THE
00:01:09.80\00:01:16.30
GOSPEL OUTREACH LEADERSHIP
PROCESS AND THERE ARE LOTS OF
PEOPLE REPRESENTING THE WORLD
00:01:16.30\00:01:22.00
FIELD OF GOSPEL
OUTREACH WHO ARE TOGETHER HERE.
00:01:22.00\00:01:25.40
TODAY THIS PROGRAM IS CERTAINLY
NO EXCEPTION AMONG THE HIGH
POINTS OF MY LIFE BECAUSE I GET
00:01:25.40\00:01:31.46
TO INTRODUCE TO
YOU A VERY DEAR MAN,
00:01:37.13\00:01:40.63
A LEADER IN GOSPEL OUTREACH
BY THE NAME OF FRED GRIFFITH.
00:01:40.63\00:01:44.80
FRED, WELCOME.
00:01:44.80\00:01:46.13
THANK YOU.
00:01:46.13\00:01:47.86
I ASKED HIM AWHILE AGO IF IT IS
FRED OR ALFRED BECAUSE I SEE IT
ON HIS NAME TAG "ALFRED" BUT
00:01:47.86\00:01:53.20
I'VE ONLY KNOWN HIM AS FRED ALL
OF HIS LIFE AND THE REASON I
HAVE KNOWN HIM AS FRED IS
00:01:55.53\00:02:01.43
BECAUSE THAT'S THE WAY HIS DEAR
PARENTS ALWAYS REFERRED TO HIM.
00:02:01.43\00:02:06.13
WITH THE MENTION OF THAT I'D
LIKE TO GO TO YOUR FIRST SLIDE
BECAUSE THE FIRST ONE IS A
00:02:06.13\00:02:12.20
REMINDER TO ME.
00:02:16.03\00:02:18.36
THERE IS YOUR DEAR, DEAR DAD.
00:02:18.36\00:02:24.83
WITHOUT FEAR OF BEING
CONTRADICTED HE IS ONE OF THE
PEOPLE WHOM I'VE LOVED VERY
00:02:24.83\00:02:30.90
VERY MUCH IN MY
EARLIER MINISTRY.
00:02:33.26\00:02:36.80
THERE IS ARTHUR GRIFFITH, A
DEDICATED MAN OF GOD IF I EVER
00:02:36.80\00:02:42.86
MET ONE. A MAN WHO WITH HIS
DEAFNESS WAS ABLE TO MINISTER TO
NOT JUST THE DEAF COMMUNITY BUT
00:02:46.33\00:02:52.40
MINISTERED ALSO TO ALL OF
US WHO WERE HIS DEAR FRIENDS.
00:02:56.23\00:03:00.83
I KNOW YOU'VE HEARD THE LITTLE
STORY BECAUSE IT HAS MEANT SO
MUCH TO ME THAT I USED TO GET
00:03:00.83\00:03:08.03
TO SIT WITH YOUR FATHER
IN THE PASTOR'S MEETINGS.
00:03:08.03\00:03:11.73
I DON'T KNOW HOW I GOT THE
PRIVILEGE BUT I'D TRY TO
SCRIBBLE NOTES AS FAST AS I
00:03:11.73\00:03:17.80
COULD ABOUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING
IN THAT MEETING AND YOUR DAD WAS
SO BRILLIANT THAT IF I JUST
00:03:19.90\00:03:25.96
STARTED A SENTENCE HE'D NON AND
HE HAD GOTTEN THE WHOLE THING
AND WOULD RESPOND WITH A WORD
00:03:28.23\00:03:34.50
OR WHATEVER AND WE KEPT UP
PRETTY WELL WITH THE SPEAKERS.
00:03:34.50\00:03:40.10
I MENTION THAT TO YOU FRED
00:03:40.10\00:03:44.46
BECAUSE YOU'RE MOTHER
ALICE, YOUR DAD ARTHUR WERE SO
00:03:44.46\00:03:50.53
PRECIOUS. THEY REST NOW
WAITING FOR JESUS TO COME.
00:03:52.96\00:03:57.33
YOUR MOTHER IS STILL LIVING?
00:03:57.33\00:04:01.23
MY MOTHER IS STILL LIVING.
00:04:01.23\00:04:02.43
OKAY.
00:04:02.43\00:04:04.03
AFTER I SAID THAT I THOUGHT YOUR
MOTHER IS STILL LIVING AND WE'RE
00:04:04.03\00:04:09.73
GRATEFUL FOR THAT. YOU HAVE
LIVED WITH GODLY PARENTS AND YOU
COULD MAKE NO OTHER CHOICE
00:04:09.73\00:04:17.30
BUT TO WALK IN THEIR FOOTSTEPS.
00:04:17.30\00:04:19.93
TELL ME ABOUT THAT.
00:04:19.93\00:04:22.00
I HAD A CHOICE OF WANTING TO
BECOME A DOCTOR BUT GOD JUST
TOOK AHOLD OF MY SHOULDER AND
00:04:22.00\00:04:29.03
SAID NO, YOU'RE GOING TO
BECOME A PASTOR FOR THE DEAF.
00:04:29.03\00:04:32.80
I CAN REMEMBER WHEN I WAS A
CHILD MY FATHER AND MOTHER AND
THE REST OF US BROTHERS AND
00:04:32.80\00:04:40.10
SISTERS GOING TO SAN FRANCISCO
TO THE GENERAL CONFERENCE.
00:04:40.10\00:04:44.90
MY FATHER APPROACHED THE
LEADERSHIP AND SAID WE MUST DO
SOMETHING FOR THE DEAF.
00:04:44.90\00:04:50.96
ONE OF HIS PROPOSALS WAS TO
MAKE A SERIES OF 35 MM FILMS
00:04:53.20\00:04:59.56
THAT WERE BIBLE
STUDIES FOR THE DEAF.
00:04:59.56\00:05:01.43
NOW GOSPEL OUTREACH HAS ALSO
UNDERTAKEN A SPECIAL
EVANGELISTIC MISSION OUTREACH
00:05:01.43\00:05:02.53
SERVICE FOR THE DEAF AS WELL.
00:05:02.53\00:05:03.80
AND YOU ARE A LEADER AT GOSPEL
OUTREACH FOR MINISTRY TO THE
00:05:03.80\00:05:09.60
DEAF. YES.
00:05:21.13\00:05:23.86
DR. WILSON AND I ARE WORKING
TOGETHER AS CURRENT LEADERSHIP.
00:05:23.86\00:05:31.76
HOWEVER, BEFORE I CAME ALONG THE
SCENE THERE WAS DOROTHY WATTS
00:05:31.76\00:05:39.63
AND JOHN BLAKE. JOHN BLAKE
SUGGESTED TO DOROTHY IF THERE
WAS ANYTHING WE COULD DO FOR THE
00:05:39.63\00:05:45.40
DEAF IN INDIA. SINCE
THAT TIME IT HAS JUST GROWN.
00:05:45.40\00:05:48.30
AMEN.
00:05:48.30\00:05:50.66
NOW YOU LIVE IN CENTRAL
CALIFORNIA BUT YOU TRAVEL ON
BEHALF OF GOSPEL OUTREACH IN
00:05:50.66\00:05:58.03
YOUR MINISTRY FOR THE DEAF.
00:05:58.03\00:05:59.23
YES.
00:05:59.23\00:06:00.26
I GREATLY ENJOYED ABOUT
THREE WEEKS IN FEBRUARY.
00:06:00.26\00:06:05.00
THIS WILL BE MY
FOURTH TRIP TO INDIA.
00:06:05.00\00:06:07.90
I UNDERSTAND IN VISITING WITH
JOHN BLAKE THAT GOSPEL OUTREACH
HAS MINISTRY FOR THE DEAF IN
00:06:07.90\00:06:15.90
SEVEN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES NOW?
00:06:15.90\00:06:17.30
YES.
00:06:17.30\00:06:18.16
JUST LIST THOSE FOR
US IF YOU DON'T MIND.
00:06:18.16\00:06:21.73
WELL, JOHN COULD DO THAT
BETTER THAN I CAN BUT I BELIEVE
00:06:21.73\00:06:25.60
IT INCLUDES RUSSIA, SOUTH
AMERICAN, PHILIPPINES, INDIA,
00:06:25.60\00:06:31.63
AFRICA. AND THERE ARE OTHER
COUNTRIES IN AFRICA AND THERE
ARE OTHER PLACES IN EVEN RUSSIA
00:06:35.43\00:06:41.50
AS WELL WHERE THE WORK AMONG THE
DEAF IS GOING FORWARD SO THAT'S
HOW WE GET THE SEVEN COUNTRIES.
00:06:44.63\00:06:51.36
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO
TELL US ABOUT TODAY?
00:06:51.36\00:06:55.10
I CERTAINLY WANT TO SHARE WITH
YOU THE FACT THAT THERE ARE DEAF
PEOPLE WITHIN HEARING
00:06:55.10\00:07:01.23
GROUPS OF OUR CHURCH AND WE ARE
FAR BEHIND IN WHAT WE COULD BE
DOING FOR DEAF PEOPLE.
00:07:04.60\00:07:10.66
DEAF PEOPLE HAVE GREAT
CHALLENGES IN THAT THEY ARE
EXCLUDED FROM THE BIBLE,
00:07:13.30\00:07:18.50
SPIRIT OF PROPHECY, THE
QUARTERLY BECAUSE OF THEIR
DIFFICULTY IN READING.
00:07:18.50\00:07:23.50
THEY ENJOY BEST TO RECEIVE
THE GOSPEL BY SIGN LANGUAGE.
00:07:23.50\00:07:29.56
THERE IS A GREAT NEED FOR
INTERPRETERS, FOR MORE WORKERS
AND FOR A GREATER UNDERSTANDING
00:07:32.23\00:07:39.53
BETWEEN THE CHURCH AND
DEAF PEOPLE AS TO THEIR NEEDS.
00:07:39.53\00:07:43.96
SO WITH THE UNDERSTANDING
BEING GREATER WITH SIGNED
00:07:43.96\00:07:50.03
COMMUNICATION, ARE YOU SAYING
THAT THE SABBATH SCHOOL LESSONS
AND ALL OF THE EVANGELISTIC
00:07:53.43\00:07:59.50
OUTREACH NEEDS TO BE SOMEHOW
PREPARED WITH OUR MODERN
TECHNOLOGY IN SIGN LANGUAGE?
00:08:02.10\00:08:09.16
THAT'S HAPPENING BY
"THREE ANGELS DEAF MINISTRY."
00:08:09.16\00:08:13.73
THEY ARE PREPARING MATERIALS
00:08:13.73\00:08:15.56
FOR THE SABBATH SCHOOL
QUARTERLIES SO THAT WE HAVE EASY
00:08:15.56\00:08:20.96
ENGLISH. A NUMBER OF THE SPIRIT
OF PROPHECY BOOKS ARE BEING
TRANSLATED INTO EASY ENGLISH.
00:08:20.96\00:08:27.03
EXCUSE ME FOR BEING A LITTLE
PERSONAL HERE, BUT YOU HAVE COME
TO THIS YES BY DIVINE
00:08:30.13\00:08:36.20
DIRECTION BUT KIND OF NATURALLY
IN THAT YOU WERE RAISED IN A
00:08:40.36\00:08:46.30
HOME WHERE BOTH
YOUR PARENTS WERE DEAF.
00:08:46.30\00:08:50.40
DID YOU LEARN SIGN
LANGUAGE AS A VERY SMALL CHILD
00:08:50.40\00:08:54.93
AND IT'S JUST A NATURAL
PART OF YOUR EXPERIENCE?
00:08:54.93\00:08:59.33
YES.
00:08:59.33\00:09:00.43
SIGN LANGUAGE WAS THE
FIRST LANGUAGE THAT I LEARNED.
00:09:00.43\00:09:04.06
THEN MY GRANDMOTHER
WOULD COME AND READ TO US.
00:09:04.06\00:09:07.13
MY FATHER COULD SPEAK SOME TOO
SO GRADUALLY I LEARNED ENGLISH
00:09:07.13\00:09:12.03
LATER. YOU SAID "YOUR SIBLINGS."
00:09:12.03\00:09:16.60
HOW MANY
CHILDREN IN YOUR FAMILY?
00:09:16.60\00:09:18.46
THERE WERE FIVE CHILDREN.
00:09:18.46\00:09:20.40
THREE BOYS AND TWO GIRLS.
00:09:20.40\00:09:22.73
AND YOU ARE ALL HEARING?
00:09:22.73\00:09:25.56
THE BOYS WERE ALL HEARING,
BUT THE TWO GIRLS WERE DEAF.
00:09:25.56\00:09:29.56
INTERESTING.
00:09:29.56\00:09:31.26
WE WON'T GO INTO A DISCUSSION OF
THAT BECAUSE I'D BE WAY OVER MY
DEPTH TO TRY AND CONSIDER
00:09:31.26\00:09:36.63
WHAT MAY HAPPEN BIOLOGICALLY
FOR THAT TO TAKE PLACE.
00:09:38.96\00:09:43.00
ARE WE TALKING ABOUT ONE OF
YOUR RECENT TRIPS TODAY IN THIS
00:09:43.00\00:09:48.40
PROGRAM? YES.
00:09:48.40\00:09:49.40
IN FEBRUARY AND MARCH OF
THIS YEAR I WENT TO INDIA.
00:09:49.40\00:09:53.53
WE ARE TAPING THIS PROGRAM RIGHT
NOW IN THE MONTH OF APRIL 2012,
00:09:56.56\00:10:01.70
SO YOU'VE ONLY
BEEN BACK A SHORT WHILE.
00:10:01.70\00:10:04.23
WE'RE GOING TO GO TO SOME MORE
OF YOUR SLIDES NOW AND THESE
WILL INCLUDE STORIES OF YOUR
00:10:04.23\00:10:10.30
RECENT MISSION TRIP.
00:10:13.26\00:10:15.26
THE FIRST PLACE WE WENT WAS TO
JOIN WITH MANZOOR AND HIS 550
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS.
00:10:15.26\00:10:21.33
PART OF THE TIME WE JOINED THEM
AND IT WAS INTERPRETED FOR OUR
00:10:26.46\00:10:33.60
DEAF WORKERS. PART OF THE TIME
DR. WILSON AND I GAVE LESSONS TO
00:10:33.60\00:10:38.40
THEM. SO IT WAS UNDER THE NEW
BANNER OF GOSPEL OUTREACH WHICH
IS "ONE MILLION FOR JESUS."
00:10:38.40\00:10:44.46
WHERE ARE WE HERE?
00:10:47.36\00:10:49.06
THIS IS IN THE SAME PLACE AND
THOSE ARE THE GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS FOR THE DEAF WHO CAME
00:10:49.06\00:10:56.40
TO THE TRAINING PROGRAM.
00:10:56.40\00:10:58.13
THERE IS DR. WILSON
BESIDE ME AND THE WORKERS IN THE
00:10:58.13\00:11:02.53
BACKGROUND. HOW MANY
DEAF WORKERS DO WE HAVE?
00:11:02.53\00:11:08.56
WELL, THAT'S A CHALLENGING
QUESTION BECAUSE WE'RE GOING
THROUGH THE PROCESS OF
00:11:08.56\00:11:13.93
TRANSITION IN THAT WE
CAME UP TO ABOUT 37 WORKERS.
00:11:13.93\00:11:18.86
SOME OF THE WORKERS ARE
STRUGGLING WITH A NUMBER OF
CHALLENGES SO WE'RE IN THE
00:11:18.86\00:11:24.93
PROCESS OF REFINING THAT NUMBER.
00:11:27.20\00:11:29.96
THE QUESTION THAT ALWAYS COMES
IN THE MIND WHEN WE STOP TO
00:11:29.96\00:11:36.03
THINK ABOUT THIS, THE QUESTION
THAT ALWAYS COMES TO THE MIND OF
A HEARING PERSON IS WHAT
00:11:38.86\00:11:43.10
PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULATION ARE
DEAF SUCH AS WHERE THE 37 THAT
YOU DID HAVE OR WHATEVER ARE
00:11:43.10\00:11:49.16
CALLED TO WORK. I'M TOLD THAT
THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 17
MILLION DEAF PEOPLE IN INDIA.
00:11:52.80\00:11:58.46
WOW.
00:11:58.46\00:12:00.06
A LOT OF DEAF PEOPLE.
00:12:00.06\00:12:02.13
BUT THE NUMBER IS PROBABLY
HIGHER THAN THAT BECAUSE THERE
IT'S A SHAME TO HAVE A
00:12:02.13\00:12:08.63
HANDICAPPED CHILD.
00:12:08.63\00:12:10.86
SO WHEN THE CENSUS WORKER COMES
THEY HIDE THEM AND THEY DON'T
WANT THEM TO BE COUNTED.
00:12:10.86\00:12:16.26
DO THEY BECOME
ALMOST NONPERSONS?
00:12:16.26\00:12:22.10
THEY DO.
00:12:22.10\00:12:23.10
AND DEFINITELY ISOLATED.
00:12:23.10\00:12:24.76
I ALWAYS KIND OF LOCK ONTO THE
WORD THAT YOU AND JOHN BLAKE
HAVE BEEN USING-THE ISOLATION
00:12:24.76\00:12:30.60
THAT HAPPENS AND THUS THE LOSS
OF COMMUNICATION, THE LOSS OF
INDICATION OF CARING AND THEY
00:12:33.26\00:12:39.90
MISS OUT ON THE GOSPEL.
00:12:39.90\00:12:40.96
THEY DO.
00:12:40.96\00:12:41.96
WHAT'S OUR NEXT PICTURE?
00:12:41.96\00:12:44.03
THIS IS A GROUP WHERE WE
MET WITH DEAF PEOPLE WHO CAME TO
00:12:46.63\00:12:52.70
ORISSA. THE MAN ON THE
RIGHT IS JOHN AND HE IS DEAF.
00:12:58.86\00:13:03.76
HE IS A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER.
00:13:03.76\00:13:05.63
IN THE YEAR 2003 I BELIEVE, ONE
OF OUR WORKERS CAME TO A SUNDAY
00:13:05.63\00:13:11.70
CHURCH AND ASKED
FOR ALL THE DEAF PEOPLE.
00:13:17.66\00:13:19.36
THEN HE MET THEM AND SAID HE'D
LIKE FOR THEM TO COME TO OUR
00:13:19.36\00:13:26.16
CHURCH. OH, PRETTY BRAZEN.
00:13:26.16\00:13:27.16
YES.
00:13:27.16\00:13:28.56
JOHN CAME AND HE LEARNED A LARGE
PORTION OF THE GOSPEL BUT NOT
00:13:28.56\00:13:34.23
ALL OF IT. THEN JEFF
JORDAN WHO IS A PASTOR
00:13:37.03\00:13:39.76
FOR THE DEAF IN GEORGIA CAME
AND HE PREACHED ON THE SABBATH.
00:13:39.76\00:13:46.40
JOHN SAT THERE AND HE SAID
THIS IS THE PART I'M MISSING.
00:13:46.40\00:13:51.90
HE ACCEPTED THE
SABBATH AND WAS BAPTIZED
00:13:51.90\00:13:54.86
AND SINCE HAS BECOME ONE OF
OUR WONDERFUL GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:13:54.86\00:13:59.96
WORKERS. LET'S GO ON THROUGH
YOUR PICTURES BECAUSE I DON'T
00:13:59.96\00:14:03.16
WANT TO MISS ANY
THAT YOU'VE BROUGHT.
00:14:03.16\00:14:05.00
THIS IS THE SAME GROUP EXCEPT
THAT I WANTED TO MENTION THE
YOUNG MAN IN THE FRONT.
00:14:05.00\00:14:10.86
HE CAN SIGN AND HE AND I CARRIED
ON A GOOD CONVERSATION THROUGH
00:14:10.86\00:14:15.90
JOHN WHO IS AN INTERPRETER
BECAUSE I SIGN IN AMERICAN SIGN
LANGUAGE AND HE SIGNS IN INDIAN
00:14:15.90\00:14:21.60
SIGN LANGUAGE. YOU'LL NOTICE THE
LADY IN THE BLUE BEHIND HIM WHO
IS ALSO DEAF, BUT SHE CANNOT
00:14:21.60\00:14:29.23
SIGN. I FOUND THAT MANY OF THE
DEAF PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN RAISED
00:14:29.23\00:14:34.23
IN ISOLATION DON'T
EVEN USE SIGN LANGUAGE.
00:14:34.23\00:14:37.26
SO IT'S A VERY NARROW ISOLATING
EXPERIENCE THAT THEY HAVE.
00:14:37.26\00:14:38.26
SO THE GOSPEL
OUTREACH DEAF MINISTRY
00:14:38.26\00:14:44.33
ALSO INCLUDES LITERACY IN THEIR
OWN SUBCULTURE AND LANGUAGE.
00:14:49.56\00:14:56.20
YES.
00:14:56.20\00:14:57.60
LET'S GO AHEAD.
00:14:57.60\00:14:59.56
THE NEXT PLACE WE STOPPED WAS A
TRAINING SCHOOL FOR DEAF LADIES
IN ORDER TO MAKE A LIVING.
00:14:59.56\00:15:05.70
JOHN BLAKE BROUGHT SEWING
MACHINES OVER AND THESE ARE
PEOPLE IN THE CLASS IN THE
00:15:09.70\00:15:17.23
CHURCH LEARNING HOW TO SEW.
00:15:17.23\00:15:19.23
WHAT A VERY
PRACTICAL CHRISTIAN APPEAL.
00:15:19.23\00:15:25.33
IT'S WONDERFUL BECAUSE IT
HELPS THEM BE RESOURCEFUL.
00:15:25.33\00:15:28.26
THIS IS YOU AGAIN IN
FRONT WITH DR. WILSON?
00:15:28.26\00:15:30.73
NO, IT WAS ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF
THE CHURCH WHERE THE SEWING
MACHINE CLASS WAS BEING TAUGHT.
00:15:30.73\00:15:36.96
WHAT I WANTED TO
POINT OUT IS IN THE BACK,
00:15:36.96\00:15:40.40
THE LADY IN THE PURPLE
IS THE SEWING CLASS TEACHER.
00:15:40.40\00:15:44.23
SOMEONE ASKED ME HOW COME THEY
ARE NOT ALL DEAF PEOPLE TAKING
00:15:44.23\00:15:50.86
THIS CLASS. SHE SAID THEY
COLLECT ALL THE DEAF PEOPLE THEY
CAN BUT IF THERE ARE HEARING
00:15:50.86\00:15:56.30
PEOPLE THEY MAKE UP
THE REST OF THE CLASS.
00:15:56.30\00:15:58.73
SHE IS HEARING?
00:15:58.73\00:15:59.86
YES.
00:15:59.86\00:16:02.03
THIS LADY IS A FORMER
GRADUATE OF THE SEWING CLASS.
00:16:02.03\00:16:06.30
YOU CAN SEE HOW HAPPY SHE IS.
00:16:06.30\00:16:10.83
SHE IS MAKING A LIVING.
00:16:10.83\00:16:12.50
SHE IS COMING TO CHURCH
REGULARLY AND PAYING A FAITHFUL
00:16:12.50\00:16:18.30
TITHE TO GOD.
WHAT A THRILLING STORY.
00:16:18.30\00:16:20.50
AS I'VE SAID EVERY TIME, EACH OF
THESE PERSONS IS A STORY IN HER
OWN RIGHT OR HIS OWN RIGHT.
00:16:20.50\00:16:27.83
IT IS BECAUSE LOOK AT THIS LADY.
00:16:27.83\00:16:30.46
MANY OF THE TIMES I MET PEOPLE
IN A SMALL HUMBLE HOME, SAD
00:16:30.46\00:16:38.30
EYES, SAD FACE. LOOK AT HER.
00:16:38.30\00:16:39.30
SHE IS SO HAPPY.
00:16:39.30\00:16:41.03
I ASKED A DEAF LADY WHY DID SHE
ACCEPT CHRIST AND SHE SAID ALL
MY LIFE I WAS RAISED UNDER THE
00:16:41.03\00:16:46.73
FEAR OF THE GODS AND NOW I FIND
CHRIST AND THERE IS SUCH PEACE
00:16:46.73\00:16:52.63
IN MY LIFE. AMEN.
00:16:52.63\00:16:53.60
BEAUTIFUL.
00:16:53.60\00:16:55.66
THIS IS DR. WILSON TALKING WITH
ONE OF THE GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS IN A DEAF CHURCH.
00:16:56.83\00:17:03.06
THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE
CHALLENGES OF REACHING THE DEAF.
00:17:03.06\00:17:08.83
IN OTHER WORDS, THE DEAF DO NOT
KIND OF BLEND INTO THE HEARING
COMMUNITY WITH THEIR MINISTRY?
00:17:08.83\00:17:14.86
THEY DO TO A CERTAIN EXTENT BUT
THE LIMITATION IS COMMUNICATION.
00:17:22.10\00:17:26.33
SURE.
00:17:26.33\00:17:28.03
NOTICE THEY ARE SINGING AND
I'M IMPRESSED THAT THEY LOVE TO
00:17:28.03\00:17:32.60
SING. KAKINADA IS WHERE JOHN HAS
HIS CHURCH AND THIS IS A PICTURE
00:17:32.60\00:17:38.66
OF HIS CHURCH, A GROWING,
VIBRANT, YOUTHFUL CHURCH.
00:17:42.80\00:17:47.43
WHAT DOES IT DO FOR THEM, BEFORE
WE GO TO THIS SLIDE, WHAT DOES
00:17:47.43\00:17:52.66
IT DO FOR THEM TO HAVE
YOU COME AND VISIT THEM FRED?
00:17:52.66\00:17:56.26
OH, THEY ARE FULL OF SMILES.
00:17:56.26\00:17:58.76
THEY ACTUALLY EMBARRASS ME A
LITTLE BIT BECAUSE IT'S TOO MUCH
00:17:58.76\00:18:03.03
HONOR. I SAY I'M JUST
ONE OF YOU, A CHILD OF GOD.
00:18:03.03\00:18:05.36
THE PICTURE I JUST SHOWED
BECAUSE WE ARE TRYING TO RECRUIT
MORE WORKERS FOR THE
00:18:05.36\00:18:11.13
DEAF AND THEY ARE
A POTENTIAL COUPLE.
00:18:11.13\00:18:17.30
ARE THEY BOTH DEAF?
00:18:17.30\00:18:18.80
YES, THEY ARE BOTH DEAF AND
THEY ARE COMING TO HIS CHURCH.
00:18:18.80\00:18:21.26
THEY SAID THEY WERE
READY TO GO TO WORK FOR GOD.
00:18:21.26\00:18:24.76
BLESS THEIR HEARTS.
00:18:24.76\00:18:26.26
YOU CAN SEE THAT
ON THEIR FACES TOO.
00:18:26.26\00:18:28.30
YES.
00:18:28.30\00:18:29.33
WE DO HAVE SOME BRIGHT SPOTS.
00:18:29.33\00:18:31.13
THEY ARE IN CHANI AND
TANJORE AND ANOTHER PLACE.
00:18:31.13\00:18:38.86
THOSE THREE ARE
KIND OF BRIGHT SPOTS.
00:18:38.86\00:18:41.10
THIS IS A PICTURE OF TANJORE.
00:18:41.10\00:18:43.90
THE MAN ON THE RIGHT
IS THE OLDEST DEAF MEMBER.
00:18:43.90\00:18:47.93
MY FATHER BEGAN WRITING TO
MESHACH YEARS AND YEARS AGO.
00:18:47.93\00:18:52.46
THIS MAN?
00:18:52.46\00:18:53.66
NO, BUT HE SAID HE KNEW MESHACH.
00:18:53.66\00:18:56.16
OH.
00:18:56.16\00:18:57.26
ANOTHER BRIGHT SPOT IS THE
ASIAN AID SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF.
00:18:57.26\00:19:03.30
DR. WILSON SAID WE NEED TO HAVE
ANOTHER SCHOOL NEAR THE BORDER
OF ORISSA RIGHT IN THE NORTHERN
00:19:06.20\00:19:12.26
PART OF INDIA AS
OPPOSED TO WHERE THIS SCHOOL IS.
00:19:15.43\00:19:18.30
NOTICE THE YOUNG BOYS.
00:19:18.30\00:19:20.96
THERE ARE 100 STUDENTS THERE AT
THAT SCHOOL AND THEY HAVE SUCH
00:19:20.96\00:19:28.93
JOYFUL FACES. THESE
ARE ALL DEAF CHILDREN?
00:19:28.93\00:19:30.53
DEAF CHILDREN.
00:19:30.53\00:19:31.90
IF IT WASN'T FOR THIS SCHOOL
THEY WOULD HAVE NO PLACE TO GO
00:19:31.90\00:19:37.93
TO SCHOOL? THAT'S RIGHT.
00:19:37.93\00:19:39.76
FOLKS I HOPE YOU'RE
CATCHING ALL OF THAT.
00:19:39.76\00:19:41.90
THIS IS SO SIGNIFICANT ABOUT
GOSPEL OUTREACH MINISTRY IN
COOPERATING WITH THIS KIND OF
00:19:41.90\00:19:48.96
WORK OF DR. WILSON AND
OTHERS WHO ARE THERE LEADING OUT
00:19:48.96\00:19:53.60
AND WE GET FIRST-HAND
INFORMATION THROUGH FRED HERE.
00:19:53.60\00:19:56.80
LET'S CONTINUE.
00:19:56.80\00:19:58.16
OF COURSE, EVERY
TEACHER HAS TO SAY "BE QUIET."
00:19:58.16\00:20:01.93
THIS YOUNG MAN IS SO EXCITED
THAT HE IS SHOUTING DURING THEIR
00:20:01.93\00:20:09.36
SINGING AND SHE
IS SAYING "SHHH."
00:20:09.36\00:20:11.10
OH, ISN'T THAT SWEET.
00:20:11.10\00:20:13.10
BUT I APPEAL THAT
DEAFNESS WILL NOT BE KEPT QUIET.
00:20:13.10\00:20:19.63
AS THEY LEARN CHRIST THEY WILL
WITNESS FOR CHRIST IN HEAVEN
THROUGH ALL ETERNITY.
00:20:19.63\00:20:25.56
AMEN.
00:20:25.56\00:20:26.56
SO THIS
CONCLUDES YOUR SLIDES THEN?
00:20:26.56\00:20:31.80
YES IT DOES.
00:20:31.80\00:20:34.80
I WANT TO GO BACK TO WHAT YOU
MENTIONED A COUPLE OF TIMES FRED
TO LOOK AT THE JOY ON THE
00:20:34.80\00:20:41.56
FACES OF THESE PEOPLE
WHEN SUDDENLY THEY SEE THERE IS
00:20:41.56\00:20:47.30
OPPORTUNITY TO BE
FREE FROM THEIR ISOLATION.
00:20:47.30\00:20:51.06
AND THERE IS A COMMUNITY THAT
NOT ONLY JUST LIKES THEM BUT
PEOPLE WHO LOVE THEM AND PEOPLE
00:20:51.06\00:20:58.03
LIKE YOU WHO ARE WILLING TO GO
AND SAY YOU'RE A PART OF A WORLD
FAMILY OF BELIEVERS.
00:20:58.03\00:21:04.86
THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMITMENT
THAT IS THE NEXT GENERATION OF
00:21:04.86\00:21:10.90
WHAT YOUR FATHER AND
MOTHER WERE DEDICATED TO.
00:21:13.60\00:21:16.90
I KNOW YOU HAVE A VIDEO THAT IS
VERY VERY IMPORTANT AND WE DON'T
WANT TO RUN OUT OF TIME
00:21:16.90\00:21:22.96
BEFORE WE GET TO SEE THAT
SO LET'S GO TO THAT VIDEO RIGHT
00:21:26.03\00:21:29.43
NOW. WE ARE ON A TOUR TO VISIT
SOME BELIEVERS WHO ARE HEARING
00:21:29.43\00:21:36.93
IMPAIRED. IN THE PICTURE YOU SEE
PASTOR ALFRED GRIFFITH AND TO
HIS RIGHT IS THE TREASURER OF
00:21:36.93\00:21:43.00
ORISSA SECTION AND WE HAVE JOHN
THE DEAF PASTOR AND THE LOCAL
PASTOR ALSO IS HERE.
00:21:49.36\00:21:55.43
WE HAVE SOME DEAF YOUNG PEOPLE
FROM ORISSA STANDING BEHIND
00:22:01.10\00:22:07.16
THEM. THESE ARE PRECIOUS YOUNG
PEOPLE WHO ARE EAGER TO KNOW THE
LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST.
00:22:09.13\00:22:15.93
JUST NOW PASTOR ALFRED EXPLAINED
ABOUT THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS
00:22:15.93\00:22:22.13
AND THEY ENJOYED THE STORY.
00:22:22.13\00:22:24.20
ORISSA IS AFFECTED
MANY WAYS NEGATIVELY.
00:22:26.93\00:22:30.80
CHRISTIANITY IS NOT WELL
ACCEPTED BUT THE LORD IS SLOWLY
OPENING THEIR DOORS.
00:22:30.80\00:22:36.96
THESE PEOPLE BELONG TO A
FISHERMAN'S COMMUNITY AND THEY
00:22:36.96\00:22:43.63
ARE VERY POOR. THEY
HAVE NO GOVERNMENT SUPPORT.
00:22:43.63\00:22:46.43
UNFORTUNATELY THESE YOUNG
LITTLE CHILDREN ARE ALL DEAF.
00:22:46.43\00:22:52.90
THEY CANNOT SPEAK.
00:22:52.90\00:22:54.03
THE PARENTS LIVE
ON THE DAILY WAGES.
00:22:54.03\00:23:00.26
THEY DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO
SEND THEM TO SCHOOL WHICH MEANS
00:23:00.26\00:23:05.46
THERE IS NO HOPE
FOR THESE DEAF CHILDREN.
00:23:05.46\00:23:10.53
IT IS OUR PRAYER THAT THROUGH
THE ADVENTIST CHURCH WE WILL
HAVE AT LEAST A FEW OF THESE
00:23:10.53\00:23:16.80
CHILDREN SENT TO AN ADVENTIST
SCHOOL WHERE THEY CAN LEARN
ABOUT JESUS AND THE BLESSING WE
00:23:16.80\00:23:22.86
HAVE THROUGH
JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.
00:23:27.40\00:23:29.70
WE ARE HOPING TO HAVE A DEAF
TEACHER AND THEY ARE PRAYING
THAT THE LORD WILL OPEN THE
00:23:31.96\00:23:37.70
WINDOWS OF HEAVEN SO THAT THESE
CHILDREN WILL BECOME ADVENTIST
DEAF WORKERS SO THAT 17 MILLION
00:23:37.70\00:23:43.76
PEOPLE IN INDIA WHO ARE
DEAF WILL HAVE FUTURE HOPE
00:23:46.16\00:23:51.43
TO KNOW ABOUT JESUS CHRIST
THE SAVIOR OF ALL HUMANITY.
00:23:51.43\00:23:55.80
WE REQUEST YOU TO GIVE YOUR
SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT AS WE
ARE ON THE LORD'S BUSINESS AND
00:23:55.80\00:24:01.93
THE DIFFICULT
PLACE OF ORISSA STATE.
00:24:06.26\00:24:09.50
GOD BLESS EACH ONE OF US.
00:24:09.50\00:24:11.86
AMEN.
00:24:11.86\00:24:14.56
FRED, IN CASE I MISSED A PART OF
THE AUDIO THAT ACCOMPANIES THAT
VIDEO THAT YOU SHARED WITH
00:24:14.56\00:24:20.63
US IT SEEMED TO ME THAT THE
FACES OF SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE
WERE ASKING QUESTIONS?
00:24:26.83\00:24:32.83
TELL ME A LITTLE MORE
ABOUT THE GROUP AGAIN.
00:24:32.83\00:24:35.83
THERE WAS ONE YOUNG MAN WHO WAS
THERE AND I TALKED TO HIM AND
ASKED HIM QUESTIONS.
00:24:35.83\00:24:41.86
HE SAID EVERY DAY I GO
OUT TO WORK ON THE FARM.
00:24:44.06\00:24:50.90
ON MY WAY TO THE FARM PEOPLE
THROW ROCKS AT ME BECAUSE I'M
00:24:50.90\00:24:57.70
CURSED. AND I THOUGHT TO MYSELF,
DR. WILSON'S APPEAL REALLY
TUGGED AT MY HEART BECAUSE HERE
00:24:57.70\00:25:05.23
THIS YOUNG MAN COULD
BE IN ONE OF OUR SCHOOLS.
00:25:05.23\00:25:08.30
EVENTUALLY WHEN HE GRADUATES HE
COULD BECOME A GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:25:08.30\00:25:14.50
WORKER. ABSOLUTELY.
00:25:14.50\00:25:16.00
AND TO SEE THE SMILES ON THE
STUDENTS AT THE ASIAN AID SCHOOL
00:25:16.00\00:25:21.16
COMPARED TO HIS. IT
JUST TOUCHES YOUR HEART.
00:25:21.16\00:25:25.06
SO WHAT YOU HAVE SHARED WITH US
IS THE CONTINUING NEED POTENTIAL
FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:25:25.06\00:25:31.13
TO TOUCH THE LIVES OF THESE
PEOPLE AND INTRODUCE THEM TO
00:25:36.70\00:25:41.63
JESUS. TO CHANGE THOSE
EXPRESSIONS OF LOSTNESS AND
CONCERN TO ONE OF JOY AND
00:25:41.63\00:25:47.66
FULFILLMENT AND HOPE. THAT'S
WHAT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN THE
GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST IS
00:25:53.53\00:26:01.16
PRESENTED TO THESE PEOPLE. FRED,
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR
WILLINGNESS TO BE HERE WITH US.
00:26:01.16\00:26:06.03
THANK YOU FOR YOUR
LEADERSHIP AT GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:26:06.03\00:26:09.50
I KNOW IF THERE IS ANYBODY
VIEWING WHO KNOWS SOME DEAF
PEOPLE AND NEED MINISTRY I KNOW
00:26:09.50\00:26:15.56
THAT BROTHER FRED GRIFFITH WOULD
BE HAPPY TO RESPOND TO YOUR
INQUIRY AND SERVE IN
00:26:19.06\00:26:24.20
WHATEVER CAPACITY HE CAN.
00:26:24.20\00:26:26.26
WITH WONDERFUL MEMORIES HONORING
THE MEMORY OF YOUR PARENTS I AM
00:26:28.06\00:26:34.13
BLESSED TO BE ABLE TO BE WITH
YOU HERE AND TO GREET ALL OF YOU
IN THE GOSPEL OUTREACH FAMILY.
00:26:34.13\00:26:40.60
THANK YOU FOR YOUR
PRAYERS AND YOUR SUPPORT.
00:26:40.60\00:26:43.10
WE LOOK FORWARD TO MORE EXCITING
REPORTS OF WHAT GOD IS DOING
EVEN AMONG THE DEAF.
00:26:43.10\00:26:51.40
CLOSING MUSIC.
00:26:51.40\00:27:07.70
I NEED TO SPREAD
THE GOSPEL HERE AT HOME.
00:27:18.46\00:27:21.03
WHERE IS THE
10-40 WINDOW ANYWAY.
00:27:21.03\00:27:24.26
THOSE PEOPLE ARE TOO FAR AWAY.
00:27:24.26\00:27:27.60
SOMEONE ELSE CAN
TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS.
00:27:27.60\00:27:29.93
MAYBE THEY COULD JUST WATCH TV.
00:27:29.93\00:27:33.46
NEARLY THREE BILLION
PEOPLE TO REACH, MY HEAD HURTS.
00:27:33.46\00:27:38.66
THERE'S NOTHING I
CAN DO, I GIVE UP.
00:27:38.66\00:27:42.16
WHAT'S THE POINT OF TRYING?
00:27:42.16\00:27:44.10
I CAN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:27:44.10\00:27:45.56
ACTUALLY YOU CAN
MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:27:45.56\00:27:48.66
AND JESUS ASKED YOU
TO GO TO ALL THE WORLD.
00:27:48.66\00:27:52.43
WHERE?
00:27:52.43\00:27:53.76
ALL THE WORLD.
00:27:53.76\00:27:55.30
HOW CAN I GO, I
HAVE COMMITMENTS.
00:27:55.30\00:27:57.63
YOU CAN PRAY.
00:27:57.63\00:28:00.23
YOU CAN VOLUNTEER YOUR TALENTS.
00:28:00.23\00:28:05.63
YOU CAN TELL OTHERS.
00:28:05.63\00:28:08.16
YOU CAN GIVE MONEY TO
SPONSOR BIBLE WORKERS.
00:28:08.16\00:28:11.53
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE
SEARCHING FOR HOPE AND MEANING.
00:28:11.53\00:28:14.66
BUT THEY WON'T
FIND IT WITHOUT YOU.
00:28:14.66\00:28:17.10
BE THE SPARK.
00:28:17.10\00:28:18.10
LIGHT THE FIRE.
00:28:18.10\00:28:19.40
FINISH THE WORK.
00:28:19.40\00:28:20.53
FINISH THE WORK.
00:28:20.53\00:28:21.53
