[OPENING MUSIC]
00:00:00.50\00:00:22.83
AND A VERY GOOD DAY TO
ALL OF YOU AS I GREET YOU FROM
00:00:22.83\00:00:27.53
GOSPEL OUTREACH WITH
ANOTHER "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS"
00:00:27.53\00:00:32.83
PROGRAM. THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE
REGULARS KNOW WHAT WE DO HERE,
00:00:32.83\00:00:36.06
BUT I'M SURE THERE ARE
SOME WHO ARE JUST TUNING IN.
00:00:36.06\00:00:40.00
SO, I WANT TO TELL YOU A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT THESE PROGRAMS.
00:00:40.00\00:00:42.86
WE ARE IN TOUCH WITH FRONT LINE
MISSIONARIES AND TODAY I HAVE
THE PRIVILEGE OF RENEWING
00:00:42.86\00:00:48.93
FRIENDSHIP WITH A DEAR FRIEND OF
MINE, JOHN DUROE WHO IS ONE OF
THOSE FRONT LINE MISSIONARIES
00:00:50.90\00:00:57.13
AND IS IN TOUCH WITH WHAT'S
HAPPENING IN ANOTHER PART OF THE
00:00:57.13\00:01:00.70
WORLD. JOHN, WELCOME TO
"ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS".
00:01:00.70\00:01:04.23
GLAD YOU ARE HERE AND THE FIRST
THING THE PEOPLE DESERVE TO KNOW
IS WHAT SECTION OF THE GOSPEL
00:01:04.23\00:01:10.30
OUTREACH WORLD DO YOU REPRESENT?
00:01:12.73\00:01:15.70
WELL, I LOOK AFTER
BANGLADESH AND NORTHEAST INDIA,
00:01:15.70\00:01:20.53
A LITTLE PIECE OF INDIA
THAT DROPS DOWN INTO BANGLADESH.
00:01:20.53\00:01:25.33
IT IS SURROUNDED ON
THREE SIDES BY BANGLADESH.
00:01:25.33\00:01:29.16
THE STATE IS CALLED TRIPURA.
00:01:29.16\00:01:32.50
GIVE ME JUST A LITTLE CONTEXT OF
WHAT IS LIFE LIKE IN THAT PART
OF THE WORLD AS IN CONTRAST
00:01:32.50\00:01:38.56
ECONOMICALLY, AND SO FORTH WITH
THE THINGS THAT OUR VIEWERS MAY
BE MORE FAMILIAR WITH.
00:01:41.26\00:01:48.56
WELL IT IS QUITE ISOLATED UP
THERE, SO IT'S ABOUT 75 PER CENT
HILLY AND COVERED IN TREES
00:01:48.56\00:01:54.63
AND SO THERE ARE LOTS
OF BIRDS AND THINGS THERE.
00:02:00.76\00:02:03.33
IT IS INTERESTING THAT THERE ARE
OVER 300 DIFFERENT SPECIES OF
BIRDS THAT YOU WILL FIND.
00:02:03.33\00:02:10.13
IS THAT JUST IN THE
STATE OF TRIPURA THEN?
00:02:10.13\00:02:12.90
YES.
00:02:12.90\00:02:13.96
ALRIGHT, GIVE US A LITTLE
MORE BACKGROUND ON TRIPURA.
00:02:13.96\00:02:15.50
YES.
00:02:15.50\00:02:16.50
WELL THE ROADS AREN'T VERY GOOD.
00:02:16.50\00:02:18.20
THERE IS ONE ROAD THAT GOES
THROUGH YOU WILL SEE ON ONE OF
00:02:18.20\00:02:22.93
THE VIDEOS TODAY I'LL
DEMONSTRATE WHAT THE ROADS ARE
00:02:22.93\00:02:26.76
REALLY LIKE. IT IS VERY
DIFFICULT TO GET FROM ONE PLACE
00:02:26.76\00:02:30.16
TO ANOTHER. THEY HAVE ABOUT 200
SQUARE MILES OF NATIONAL FOREST
00:02:30.16\00:02:35.63
THERE. SO, THEY ARE TRYING TO
PRESERVE THE COUNTRYSIDE THERE.
00:02:35.63\00:02:39.06
HOW IS TRIPURA DIFFERENT
FROM SOME OF THE OTHER STATES IN
00:02:39.06\00:02:44.20
INDIA? WELL, IT HAS QUITE A
STRONG BENGALI INFLUENCE BECAUSE
YOU SEE, IT IS SURROUNDED ON 3
00:02:44.20\00:02:51.86
SIDES BY BANGLADESH, SO LOTS OF
PEOPLE FROM BANGLADESH COME OVER
THE BORDER AND THEY TEND TO
00:02:51.86\00:02:57.93
IMPOSE THEIR TRADITIONS AND
CULTURE ON THE LOCAL PEOPLE.
00:03:00.16\00:03:03.43
LANGUAGE TOO?
00:03:03.43\00:03:04.43
YES.
00:03:04.43\00:03:05.43
YES.
00:03:05.43\00:03:07.13
ACTUALLY, THERE ARE ABOUT MAINLY
30 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES THERE,
PROBABLY MORE; FIFTEEN MAIN
00:03:07.13\00:03:12.50
LANGUAGES IN THAT ONE
SMALL STATE OF TRIPURA.
00:03:14.86\00:03:18.33
THERE ARE ABOUT 6
MILLION PEOPLE LIVING THERE.
00:03:18.33\00:03:21.50
NOW YOU HAVE SERVED AS A
MISSIONARY TO THAT PART OF THE
WORLD PRIOR TO YOUR ASSIGNMENT.
00:03:21.50\00:03:27.43
IN BANGLADESH, BANGLADESH.
00:03:27.43\00:03:29.06
ALSO IN PAKISTAN BUT THAT IS
OVER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF INDIA.
00:03:29.06\00:03:32.80
O.K.
00:03:32.80\00:03:33.80
WHAT ABOUT
RELIGIOUS BELIEF IN TRIPURA?
00:03:33.80\00:03:38.30
WELL, IT'S ABOUT 85 PER CENT
HINDU AND THEN IT IS ABOUT 8 PER
00:03:38.30\00:03:45.83
CENT MUSLIM AND
ABOUT 3 PER CENT CHRISTIAN.
00:03:45.83\00:03:48.30
SO, WE DO HAVE SOME CHRISTIANS
THERE AND IN THIS FIRST VIDEO
THAT WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT,
00:03:48.30\00:03:55.96
YOU 'LL SEE HOW THE
CHRISTIANS ARE OPERATING THERE.
00:03:55.96\00:04:00.43
ALRIGHT, LET'S
TAKE A LOOK RIGHT NOW.
00:04:00.43\00:04:02.30
(VIDEO PLAYING) DHANYA
WAS BORN INTO A HINDU FAMILY
00:04:02.30\00:04:08.36
BUT HE HAD MANY
FRIENDS WHO WERE CHRISTIANS.
00:04:45.70\00:04:47.60
THEY WANTED HIM TO BECOME A
CHRISTIAN SO HE VISITED A FEW
CHRISTIAN CHURCHES.
00:04:47.60\00:04:54.73
THEN A SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST
EVANGELIST CAME TO HIS VILLAGE.
00:04:54.73\00:05:00.33
HE ACTUALLY INVITED THE
EVANGELIST TO STAY AT HIS HOUSE.
00:05:00.33\00:05:04.63
HE ENJOYED THE MEETINGS
AND HE HAD MANY BIBLE STUDIES.
00:05:04.63\00:05:09.33
DHANYA AND FOUR
OTHERS WERE BAPTIZED.
00:05:09.33\00:05:13.30
THE OTHERS DIED OR MOVED BUT
DHANYA STAYED AND HE TRIED TO
00:05:13.30\00:05:19.13
SHARE HIS FAITH. RECENTLY, HE
SAW SOME RESPONSE AND HE ASKED
FOR A GOSPEL OUTREACH VOLUNTEER
00:05:19.13\00:05:25.56
TO HELP HIM ESTABLISH A CHURCH.
00:05:25.56\00:05:27.36
GOSPEL OUTREACH VOLUNTEER
REMRUATA CAME TO HIS VILLAGE OF
00:05:27.36\00:05:33.80
KAPTIPARA AND
PREPARED 5 FOR BAPTISM.
00:05:33.80\00:05:36.63
REMRUATA AND DHANYA DAMMED THE
SMALL RIVER AND MADE A BAPTISMAL
00:05:36.63\00:05:42.46
POOL. THEY MANAGED TO STOP
ENOUGH WATER SO THE CANDIDATES
COULD BE BAPTIZED ON THEIR
00:05:42.46\00:05:48.16
KNEES. LET ME TELL YOU
ABOUT ONE OF THE CANDIDATES.
00:05:48.16\00:05:52.33
HE WAS A WOODCUTTER AND HE HAD
BEEN ASKED TO HELP A GROUP OF
YOUNG PEOPLE FROM THE STATE OF
00:05:52.33\00:05:57.53
MIZORAM ON THEIR MISSION TRIP.
00:05:57.53\00:06:00.06
THEY HAD COME FOR ONE WEEK TO
BUILD A TEMPORARY CHURCH FOR THE
BELIEVERS IN A NEARBY VILLAGE.
00:06:00.06\00:06:06.30
THE STRUCTURE COST ABOUT $1800.
00:06:06.30\00:06:10.56
DHANYSHUR THE WOODCUTTER,
WOULD SIT DOWN DURING HIS BREAKS
00:06:10.56\00:06:15.43
AND TALK WITH THE
LOCAL ADVENTIST CHURCH ELDER.
00:06:15.43\00:06:19.86
HE ALSO WATCHED THE
ADVENTIST YOUNG PEOPLE.
00:06:19.86\00:06:23.33
HE WAS VERY IMPRESSED.
00:06:23.33\00:06:25.63
IN HIS HEART, HE DECIDED
THAT HE WANTED TO GET BAPTIZED.
00:06:25.63\00:06:32.60
WHEN REMRUATA CAME TO HIS
VILLAGE, HE TOLD HIM WHAT HE HAD
00:06:32.60\00:06:38.33
DECIDED. WHAT A PRIVILEGE TO
SEE THIS GROUP GETTING BAPTIZED.
00:06:38.33\00:06:43.16
LET'S PRAY FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH
VOLUNTEER REMRUATA AND WE COULD
00:06:43.16\00:06:50.26
DO MORE. LET'S HELP SUPPORT
HIM WITH OUR GIFTS TO GOSPEL
00:06:50.26\00:06:56.06
OUTREACH. WHAT A STORY, JOHN.
00:06:56.06\00:06:58.76
THAT'S AMAZING.
00:06:58.76\00:07:00.76
YES.
00:07:00.76\00:07:02.96
THAT CHURCH WAS THERE A MISSION
BY YOUNG PEOPLE OR SOMETHING
THAT HELPED BUILD THAT?
00:07:02.96\00:07:09.03
YES, ACTUALLY IN MIZORAM THE
NEXT STATE OVER, THE ONE THAT IS
CLOSEST TO MYANMAR IN MIZORAM,
00:07:13.43\00:07:21.40
THE CHURCH IS
QUITE STRONG IN MIZORAM
00:07:21.40\00:07:24.46
AND THEY DO MISSION TRIPS
JUST LIKE WE DO IN AMERICA.
00:07:24.46\00:07:29.30
WE SEND PEOPLE
TO DIFFERENT PLACES.
00:07:29.30\00:07:31.93
THEY SEND THE YOUNG
PEOPLE THEY CAME OVER
00:07:31.93\00:07:35.43
AND THEY BUILT A LITTLE
CHURCH FOR THE NEXT VILLAGE.
00:07:35.43\00:07:39.80
AND REMRUATA, IS THAT THE NAME?
00:07:39.80\00:07:41.53
YES, YES, THE
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER.
00:07:41.53\00:07:43.43
YES.
00:07:43.43\00:07:44.43
TELL ME A LITTLE MORE ABOUT HIM.
00:07:44.43\00:07:46.10
HE IS ACTUALLY LIVING IN ANOTHER
VILLAGE A LITTLE FURTHER AWAY
AND I'VE BEEN TO HIS HOUSE
00:07:46.10\00:07:52.93
A NUMBER OF TIMES.
00:07:52.93\00:07:53.93
REALLY.
00:07:53.93\00:07:54.86
JUST A LITTLE WOODEN
HOUSE ON TOP OF THE HILL.
00:07:54.86\00:07:58.10
NOTHING IN THE HOUSE; THERE
IS A BED, AND THERE ARE 2 LITTLE
00:07:58.10\00:08:02.50
STOOLS THAT YOU CAN
SIT ON IN THE HOUSE.
00:08:02.50\00:08:04.26
VERY, VERY NEAT AND TIDY.
00:08:04.26\00:08:06.23
EVERYTHING IS IN ITS PLACE.
00:08:06.23\00:08:07.86
ALL THE COOKING
UTENSILS ARE IN THEIR PLACE.
00:08:07.86\00:08:10.53
I MET HIS WIFE AND THEIR
NEW BABY THAT THEY JUST GOT.
00:08:10.53\00:08:14.30
HE'S GOT A BEAUTIFUL VIEW AT THE
TOP OF THIS HILL BUT THE HOUSE
IS VERY, VERY SIMPLE.
00:08:14.30\00:08:20.40
FROM A VERY PRACTICAL POINT OF
VIEW, I COULDN'T HELP FOCUS ON
THE STORY OF THE WOODCUTTER.
00:08:20.40\00:08:27.10
THEN I SAW THOSE
TIMBERS THERE, YES.
00:08:27.10\00:08:30.33
DOES THE WOODCUTTER HEW
THOSE OUT BY HAND SOMEWAY?
00:08:30.33\00:08:34.50
THEY DO HAVE SAWMILLS AROUND.
00:08:34.50\00:08:36.53
THEY HAVE SAWMILLS AND THAT'S
HIS BUSINESS THEN TO REPAIR
00:08:36.53\00:08:40.46
THAT. YES.
00:08:40.46\00:08:41.46
AND $1800 FOR BUILDING A CHURCH?
00:08:41.46\00:08:46.03
WELL, IT'S A TIN CHURCH AND THE
TIN IS SO THIN, YOU KNOW, IF YOU
PRESS IT LIKE THIS WITH YOUR
00:08:46.03\00:08:53.50
FINGER, YOU COULD DENT IT.
00:08:53.50\00:08:55.00
YOU KNOW IT IS SO THIN.
00:08:55.00\00:08:56.40
IT IS NOT VERY GOOD WHEN
IT SO HOT OR WHEN IT IS COLD.
00:08:56.40\00:09:00.33
SOMETIMES IN WINTER IT
GETS QUITE COLD UP THERE.
00:09:00.33\00:09:02.96
OR IN A RAIN STORM?
00:09:02.96\00:09:05.43
A RAIN STORM IS FINE.
00:09:05.43\00:09:07.80
THAT'S THE GOOD THING ABOUT IT.
00:09:07.80\00:09:09.70
EVEN THE NOISE?
00:09:09.70\00:09:10.83
AH, WELL, THAT IS A PROBLEM.
00:09:10.83\00:09:13.50
I'VE PREACHED IN
TIN CHURCHES BEFORE.
00:09:13.50\00:09:17.23
SO, HOW MANY TRIPS HAVE YOU
MADE TO THIS AREA THEN BY NOW?
00:09:17.23\00:09:22.30
I THINK I'VE
DONE FOUR TRIPS NOW.
00:09:22.30\00:09:25.20
NO WONDER YOU HAVE BEEN TO THEIR
HOUSES OFTEN TO VISIT THEM.
00:09:25.20\00:09:30.13
OH YES, I'VE GOT SOME GOOD
FRIENDS LIVING UP THERE NOW.
00:09:30.13\00:09:34.76
NOW THAT WAS A WONDERFUL TITLE
FOR THIS PROGRAM "ALL THINGS
WORK TOGETHER" AND ALL THOSE
00:09:34.76\00:09:40.90
PEOPLE INTERACTING
AND SUPPORTING EACH OTHER.
00:09:40.90\00:09:44.06
YES.
00:09:44.06\00:09:45.16
AND EVEN THE COOPERATION OF
BUILDING THE BAPTISMAL POOL.
00:09:45.16\00:09:48.73
YES.
00:09:48.73\00:09:49.90
I THOUGHT THAT WAS A FASCINATING
PART OF YOUR STORY AS WELL.
00:09:49.90\00:09:52.20
NOW YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER VIDEO.
00:09:52.20\00:09:55.30
THIS WILL TELL YOU A
LITTLE ABOUT ARRANGED MARRIAGES.
00:09:55.30\00:09:59.70
SO LET'S WATCH THIS VIDEO.
00:09:59.70\00:10:02.36
çVIDEO PLAYINGÑ SANJIT IS AN
AREA EVANGELIST WHO HAS STARTED
SEVEN NEW CHURCH COMPANIES IN
00:10:02.36\00:10:08.43
SEVEN YEARS.
00:10:13.30\00:10:15.83
NOW, HE IS JUST HELPING OUR
GOSPEL OUTREACH VOLUNTEER GIRISH
IN BRIGUDAS VILLAGE, TRIPURA
00:10:15.83\00:10:21.90
NORTHEAST INDIA.
00:10:33.63\00:10:36.40
GIRISH WAS ONE OF SANJIT'S
FIRST CONVERTS IN THIS AREA.
00:10:36.40\00:10:40.30
AND NOW HE IS A
GOSPEL OUTREACH VOLUNTEER.
00:10:40.30\00:10:44.76
HE WAS A DRUNKARD AND
EVEN ATTENDED SANJIT'S MEETINGS
00:10:44.76\00:10:50.80
DRUNK. HIS SON HAD DIED AND HE
COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY HIS
HINDU GODS HADN'T SAVED HIM.
00:10:59.56\00:11:05.43
HE HAD MADE PLENTY OF
SACRIFICES IN THE TEMPLE.
00:11:05.43\00:11:09.03
HE WAS GIVEN A BIBLE
DURING SANJIT'S MEETINGS.
00:11:09.03\00:11:12.53
HE TREASURED IT AND READ IT
AND REALIZED THAT HE SHOULD MAKE
00:11:12.53\00:11:18.20
SOME CHANGES. HE WAS BAPTIZED
AND HE DID CHANGE COMPLETELY.
00:11:18.20\00:11:22.60
EVERYONE NOTICED
THE BIG DIFFERENCE.
00:11:22.60\00:11:25.53
AND SINCE THEN, HIS FAMILY
HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN GOOD HEALTH.
00:11:25.53\00:11:30.66
TWO OF THOSE WHO MADE DECISIONS
IN THE LATEST MEETINGS ARE GOING
TO BE BAPTIZED TODAY AND THEN
00:11:30.66\00:11:37.26
THEY ARE
PLANNING TO GET MARRIED.
00:11:37.26\00:11:40.26
HE WAS IMPRESSED THAT SEVENTH
DAY ADVENTISTS CHRISTIANS TOOK
ALL THE BIBLE AS EQUALLY
00:11:40.26\00:11:46.33
IMPORTANT.
00:11:49.33\00:11:50.46
BINAD'S OLDEST SISTER DECIDED
TO DO A LITTLE MATCH MAKING
00:11:50.46\00:11:56.20
AND GAVE HIM THE TELEPHONE
NUMBER OF ONE OF HER FRIENDS.
00:11:56.20\00:12:03.30
HER NAME WAS TONI AND THEY
STARTED TALKING TOGETHER ON THE
00:12:03.30\00:12:08.13
PHONE. AFTER A WEEK, THEY
DECIDED TO MEET FACE TO FACE.
00:12:08.13\00:12:12.10
BINAD CAME TO TONI'S HOUSE.
00:12:12.10\00:12:14.76
THE MOTHER WAS VERY FRIENDLY.
00:12:14.76\00:12:17.10
THEY MET AGAIN AND TOGETHER THEY
ATTENDED GIRISH'S EVANGELISTIC
00:12:17.10\00:12:23.13
MEETINGS. WHAT A PLEASURE IT WAS
TO SEE THEM BOTH BAPTIZED TODAY.
00:12:23.13\00:12:27.80
AND NOW THEY ARE
PLANNING FOR ANOTHER BIG DAY.
00:12:27.80\00:12:32.03
YOU MADE THIS ALL POSSIBLE
WHEN YOU DECIDED TO HELP SUPPORT
00:12:32.03\00:12:37.33
GOSPEL OUTREACH
VOLUNTEERS LIKE GIRISH.
00:12:37.33\00:12:41.33
LET'S CONTINUE TO HELP SUPPORT
OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH VOLUNTEERS.
00:12:41.33\00:12:46.46
SEEING YOUNG PEOPLE LIKE BINAD
AND TONI MAKING A DECISION TO
START A CHRISTIAN HOME MAKES IT
00:12:46.46\00:12:53.33
ALL WORTHWHILE.[VIDEO PLAYING]
NOW HOW OLD ARE THOSE YOUNG
00:12:53.33\00:12:59.40
PEOPLE, ABOUT? ABOUT
24, THEY ARE ABOUT 24.
00:13:36.56\00:13:42.63
AND SO THE YOUNG LADY HAD
NEVER BEEN PROPOSED TO BEFORE?
00:13:55.06\00:13:58.66
PROBABLY OR MAYBE?
00:13:58.66\00:14:00.26
NO, NO.
00:14:00.26\00:14:01.26
BECAUSE THERE WAS NOBODY
HER PARENTS WOULD APPROVE?
00:14:01.26\00:14:05.50
THEY ARE PROBABLY STILL LOOKING.
00:14:05.50\00:14:08.53
OH.
00:14:08.53\00:14:09.56
THAT IS ANOTHER THRILLING
ACCOUNT OF THE CONNECTIONS
00:14:09.56\00:14:13.93
THAT ARE MADE
THROUGH GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:14:13.93\00:14:16.30
YES.
00:14:16.30\00:14:17.36
AND NOW GIRISH, HE
WAS THE GOSPEL OUTREACH?
00:14:17.36\00:14:21.20
YES, SEVEN CHURCHES IN SEVEN
YEARS SO ON AVERAGE HE IS
STARTING A NEW CHURCH COMPANY
00:14:21.20\00:14:27.80
EVERY YEAR BUT WHEN I LISTEN TO
HIM TALK WHEN I SAW HIM
INTERACTING WITH THE PEOPLE, I
00:14:27.80\00:14:32.56
COULD SEE THAT HE
WAS A NATURAL EVANGELIST.
00:14:32.56\00:14:36.03
HE WAS JUST HELPING THIS, HIS
NEW GOSPEL OUTREACH VOLUNTEER IN
THAT VILLAGE TO GET STARTED.
00:14:36.03\00:14:42.10
WELL, THOSE ARE STORIES AND I
THINK I NEED TO TAKE THIS
OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO OUR
00:14:45.30\00:14:52.43
GENERAL GOSPEL
OUTREACH AUDIENCE JUST A MOMENT.
00:14:52.43\00:14:55.36
THESE STORIES THAT YOU'VE BEEN
SEEING THAT JOHN DUROE HAS
BROUGHT TO US FROM THE
00:14:55.36\00:15:01.06
FRONTLINES OF THE
MISSION FIELD, ARE ILLUSTRATIVE
00:15:01.06\00:15:04.80
OF WHAT HAPPENS ALL OVER
THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORLD.
00:15:04.80\00:15:08.70
YOUR GIFTS TO GOSPEL OUTREACH
HELP MAKE POSSIBLE THESE
CONNECTIONS WITH GOD'S PEOPLE IN
00:15:08.70\00:15:14.76
ALL AREAS OF THE
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORLD.
00:15:18.13\00:15:21.50
MAYBE THEY DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE
GOD'S PEOPLE BUT WHEN A GOSPEL

SCHOOL WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GUY.
00:16:15.20\00:16:18.73
SO, ENJOY GOSPEL OUTREACH

00:16:18.73\00:16:20.30
ALRIGHT, JOHN YOU
HAVE ANOTHER STORY FOR US.
00:16:20.30\00:16:22.06
YES, I DO.
00:16:22.06\00:16:23.10
YOU WERE ASKING ME ABOUT
WHAT IT IS LIKE IN TRIPURA.
00:16:23.10\00:16:26.83
WELL, THE ROADS ARE NOT TOO GOOD
AND IN THIS VIDEO WE ARE GOING
00:16:26.83\00:16:34.66
TO NOW YOU WILL SEE
WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.
00:16:34.66\00:16:36.16
O.K.
00:16:36.16\00:16:37.53
[VIDEO PLAYINGÑ TODAY, WE SET
OFF TOWARDS THE NORTHEAST CORNER
00:16:37.53\00:16:43.20
OF INDIA. WE STOPPED FOR SOME
DIESEL BUT WE HAD TO WAIT FOR
THE PUMP TO BE REPAIRED FIRST.
00:16:51.73\00:16:57.70
THE ROAD WAS NOT GOOD.
00:16:57.70\00:16:59.96
I SAW MANY SIGNS LIKE THIS.
00:17:11.56\00:17:15.00
SOME CHOSE TO IGNORE THE
ADVICE WITH RATHER SERIOUS
00:17:15.00\00:17:20.46
CONSEQUENCES. THEY TRIED TO
HIDE THE EVIDENCE WITH LITTLE
00:17:22.50\00:17:29.36
SUCCESS. ONE SIGN SAID "DRIVE
SLOWLY, WORK IN PROGRESS".
00:17:29.36\00:17:35.36
WELL I DIDN'T SEE MUCH PROGRESS
THE ROAD WAS JUST AS BAD WHEN WE
DROVE IT LAST YEAR.
00:17:35.36\00:17:42.10
BUT WHEN WE DID STOP IN
UNISMIL VILLAGE, WE DID SEE SOME
00:17:42.10\00:17:48.10
PROGRESS. MOYA AND HIS WIFE ZIRI
ARE THE GOSPEL OUTREACH
VOLUNTEER TEAM THERE.
00:17:48.10\00:17:53.63
WE HEARD ABOUT THEIR LATEST
BAPTISM OF 6 AND WE WATCHED AS A
FEW OF THE BAPTISMAL
00:17:53.63\00:17:58.73
CERTIFICATES WERE PRESENTED.
00:17:58.73\00:18:01.23
MOYA HAD BEEN STUDYING THE
BIBLE WITH KALICUMA AND HIS WIFE
00:18:01.23\00:18:07.26
BANCHURA. THEIR BABY DAUGHTER
DIED AND MOYA WAS ABLE TO SHARE
WITH THEM THE HOPE OF A
00:18:07.26\00:18:13.80
RESURRECTION. TODAY THEY MADE
THEIR BAPTISMAL VOWS AND WE SET
OFF DOWN TO THE WATER.
00:18:13.80\00:18:20.43
THEY MADE IT PUBLIC THAT THEY
HAD DECIDED TO BE SEVENTH DAY
ADVENTIST CHRISTIANS.
00:18:20.43\00:18:27.16
I ASKED MOYA ABOUT
KELICUMA'S DECISION.
00:18:27.16\00:18:31.56
NOW I UNDERSTAND THAT HIS
LITTLE BOY OR LITTLE GIRL DIED.
00:18:31.56\00:18:36.23
YES HIS BABY DAUGHTER HAS DIED.
00:18:36.23\00:18:40.93
I TOOK A GOOD TIME TO TELL THEM
HOW GOD HAS RISEN UP AS HE
RESURRECTED FROM THE DEAD.
00:18:40.93\00:18:47.00
AS WE SERVE A CHRISTIAN LIFE, WE
HAVE HOPE AND THIS HOPE NEVER
FAILS IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE,
00:18:54.16\00:19:00.96
AFTER DEATH WE
WILL RAISE FROM DEATH.
00:19:00.96\00:19:04.03
I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND DRIVING IN
THIS CAR ON THE ROAD WE TRAVELED
00:19:04.03\00:19:09.60
TODAY. THIS IS
THE INDIAN TATA NANO.
00:19:09.60\00:19:12.66
THIS IS PROBABLY THE MOST
ECONOMICAL CAR IN THE WORLD.
00:19:12.66\00:19:17.83
IT COSTS 130,000 RUPEES.
00:19:17.83\00:19:22.20
NOW, THAT IS ABOUT $2600.
00:19:22.20\00:19:25.26
BUT WE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN
CARS; WE ARE INTERESTED IN DOING
00:19:25.26\00:19:31.70
THE WORK THAT
JESUS HAS GIVEN US.
00:19:31.70\00:19:33.50
SHARING THE GOOD NEWS IN ALL THE
WORLD AND THESE GOSPEL OUTREACH
VOLUNTEERS MOYA AND ZIRI WHO WE
00:19:33.50\00:19:39.60
VISITED TODAY ARE OUR MOST
ECONOMICAL WAY OF DOING THIS
00:19:43.03\00:19:48.66
JOB. YOU CAN HIRE SOMEONE LIKE
MOYA AND ZIRI WHO SPEAK THE
LOCAL LANGUAGE AND WILL SHARE
00:19:48.66\00:19:55.03
THE GOOD NEWS
FOR ABOUT $10 A WEEK.
00:19:55.03\00:19:59.60
LET'S USE OUR MONEY IN
THE MOST ECONOMICAL WAY.
00:19:59.60\00:20:03.63
LET'S SUPPORT GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:20:03.63\00:20:09.70
POWERFUL, POWERFUL STORIES AND
WHAT A POWERFUL APPEAL, JOHN.
00:20:12.46\00:20:18.53
YES.
00:20:20.70\00:20:22.13
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING
THAT ALTOGETHER FOR US IN THE
00:20:22.13\00:20:26.93
WAY YOU HAVE. MY INCLINATION IS,
IS TO JUST KIND OF PUT A PERIOD
RIGHT HERE ON THE STORY AND LET
00:20:26.93\00:20:33.00
ALL OF YOU FOLKS AT HOME JUST
REFLECTIVELY PONDER THIS STORY
THAT JOHN HAS PREPARED AND WE
00:20:37.30\00:20:43.33
HAVE COME TO HEAR IN THIS
ACCOUNT FROM GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:20:48.36\00:20:51.86
JOHN, AS I LOOK AT THOSE PEOPLE,
OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHOM WE
WOULDN'T HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF
00:20:51.86\00:20:57.93
KNOWING WERE IT NOT
FOR CHRISTIAN MISSIONS,
00:21:03.66\00:21:08.70
GOSPEL OUTREACH
MISSIONS TO A PLACE LIKE THIS.
00:21:08.70\00:21:12.23
I GUESS WE WOULD HAVE A TENDENCY
TO THINK THAT LIFE MAY NOT BE AS
SIGNIFICANT TO THEM AS IT IS TO
00:21:12.23\00:21:18.30
US AFTERALL; THINGS
ARE SO, SO KIND OF POOR.
00:21:25.13\00:21:30.56
BUT TO LOSE THE LITTLE CHILD
CERTAINLY IMPACTED THAT FAMILY
00:21:30.56\00:21:35.50
IN A WAY THAT WE
WOULD BE IMPACTED, RIGHT?
00:21:35.50\00:21:39.23
YES.
00:21:39.23\00:21:40.83
YES.
00:21:40.83\00:21:42.23
LOTS OF CHILDREN DO DIE QUITE
YOUNG IN TRIPURA AND MOSTLY IN
00:21:42.23\00:21:48.03
BANGLADESH. THE LIFESPAN IS I
THINK 62, I THINK THAT IS THE
LIFE SPAN IN BANGLADESH AND
00:21:50.63\00:21:56.70
AROUND THAT AREA. BASICALLY, IT
IS BECAUSE OF DISEASES THAT
CHILDREN CAN DIE FROM WHEN THEY
00:22:02.96\00:22:09.73
ARE QUITE YOUNG. BUT THEN HAVING
EXPERIENCED THAT TRAGEDY IN THIS
PARTICULAR FAMILY'S EXPERIENCE,
00:22:09.73\00:22:17.33
THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER I
CONSIDERED HOW HE DEALT WITH
THAT "INSPIRED" BECAUSE THERE HE
00:22:17.33\00:22:23.40
IS NOT HAVING GROWN UP BECAUSE
OF THE OTHER RELIGIOUS
ENVIRONMENT OF HIS WORLD, HE
00:22:27.86\00:22:34.16
DIDN'T GROW UP LIKE WE DO
KNOWING THESE KINDS OF THINGS
00:22:34.16\00:22:36.80
ALL OF HIS LIFE. SO HE HAS BEEN
CAPTURED BY THAT MESSAGE THROUGH
CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES LIKE
00:22:36.80\00:22:44.36
YOURSELF, YES, AND GOSPEL
OUTREACH, YES, SO THAT THE WHOLE
MENTALITY OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE
00:22:44.36\00:22:50.06
THE POSSIBILITY OF
BEING MORE HOPEFUL.
00:22:50.06\00:22:52.56
YES, BECAUSE WE
HAVE THE BLESSED HOPE.
00:22:52.56\00:22:54.70
WE HAVE THE HOPE, WE KNOW THAT
JESUS DIED AND THAT HE ROSE
AGAIN AND THAT GIVES US THE HOPE
00:22:54.70\00:23:02.06
FOR THE FUTURE.
00:23:02.06\00:23:03.80
AND THESE FOLKS HAVING NEVER
HEARD THAT BEFORE, I'M SURE ARE
CAPTURED WITH AN EXCITEMENT THAT
00:23:03.80\00:23:10.23
SAYS "HEY, THIS IS BETTER THAN
ANYTHING WE HAVE EVER HAD AND
00:23:10.23\00:23:14.06
WE'LL TAKE IT." YES.
00:23:14.06\00:23:15.26
YOU KNOW I REMEMBER GOING UP
TO A VILLAGE IN THE PHILIPPINES,
00:23:15.26\00:23:19.63
ACTUALLY ONE
CHRISTMAS WITH MY WIFE.
00:23:19.63\00:23:22.43
WE WENT UP CHRISTMAS EVE WE WERE
GOING TO SPEND CHRISTMAS DAY IN
THIS VILLAGE AND WE SHARED THE
00:23:22.43\00:23:27.73
STORY OF THE BIRTH OF JESUS AND
THESE PEOPLE HADN'T HEARD THE
00:23:27.73\00:23:34.06
STORY BEFORE. AND IT WAS AMAZING
THE THRILL THAT THEY HAD WHEN
THEY HEARD THE STORY OF JESUS
00:23:34.06\00:23:40.60
CHRIST. WELL, I WANT TO
GET BACK TO TRIPURA STORY HERE.
00:23:40.60\00:23:46.30
WHEN YOU SAID AS I UNDERSTOOD IN
THE VIDEO, THAT A GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKER LIKE GIRISH AND
00:23:46.30\00:23:52.36
THE OTHERS YOU HAVE MENTIONED
TODAY CAN BE EMPLOYED FOR $10 A
00:23:55.80\00:24:01.80
WEEK? WELL, YOU SEE IT IS
SOMETHING LIKE- IT'S ABOUT AS
MUCH AS YOU WOULD SPEND IF YOU
00:24:01.80\00:24:09.00
TOOK YOUR WIFE OUT TO EAT.
00:24:09.00\00:24:10.53
YOU SEE.
00:24:10.53\00:24:11.53
YOU CAN'T GO OUT TO
EAT FOR $10 ANYMORE.
00:24:11.53\00:24:14.70
O.K.
00:24:14.70\00:24:15.70
O.K.
00:24:15.70\00:24:17.46
THAT'S TRUE, AND SO YOU THINK
THE MONEY THAT YOU SPEND JUST ON
A MEAL COULD BE PAYING WAGES FOR
00:24:17.46\00:24:23.26
SOMEONE FOR A COUPLE
OF WEEKS, MAYBE A MONTH?
00:24:23.26\00:24:26.20
AND THESE PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO
ACCEPT THAT BECAUSE IT IS
PROBABLY BETTER THAN WHAT THEY
00:24:26.20\00:24:32.60
WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE.
00:24:32.60\00:24:34.13
YES, THE COST OF LIVING
IS VERY, VERY SMALL THERE.
00:24:34.13\00:24:37.40
THEY DON'T HAVE VERY MUCH IN
THEIR HOUSES OR ANYTHING LIKE
00:24:37.40\00:24:42.50
THAT. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN THE
CHILDREN GET SICK AND THAT'S OUR
00:24:42.50\00:24:48.56
BIGGEST WORRY. PEOPLE CAN
SURVIVE ON THE SMALL AMOUNTS
THAT WE GIVE THEM AS A STIPEND
00:24:52.06\00:24:58.06
BUT WHEN THEIR CHILDREN GET SICK
THEN THEY RUN INTO TROUBLE AND
00:24:58.06\00:25:01.23
PROBLEMS. BUT WE TRY TO HELP
THEM THERE AS MUCH AS WE CAN
00:25:01.23\00:25:06.20
ALSO. YES WE DO.
00:25:06.20\00:25:07.80
JOHN, WITH ALL OF THESE
WONDERFUL PEOPLE IN YOUR MIND
THAT YOU HAVE MET AND YOU HAVE
00:25:07.80\00:25:14.06
SHARED WITH US I WANT YOU TO
LOOK AT THAT CAMERA RIGHT OVER
THERE AND SPEAK TO OUR VIEWERS
00:25:14.06\00:25:20.93
AGAIN WHAT YOU WOULD
ENCOURAGE THEM TO DO.
00:25:20.93\00:25:26.36
WELL, WE LOOKED AT THAT SMALL
CAR THERE THE MOST ECONOMICAL
CAR IN THE WORLD, WHAT WE ARE
00:25:26.36\00:25:32.43
DOING THROUGH GOSPEL OUTREACH
IS THE MOST ECONOMICAL WAY
00:25:34.73\00:25:40.00
OF SHARING THE GOOD
NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST.
00:25:40.00\00:25:44.20
WHAT WE CAN DO, WHAT WE CAN
DO THROUGH GOSPEL OUTREACH IT'S,
00:25:44.20\00:25:47.86
IT'S AMAZING HOW MUCH
WE CAN DO WITH SO LITTLE.
00:25:47.86\00:25:49.83
JOHN, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR
BEING A PART OF THE GOSPEL
OUTREACH TEAM, FOR THE
00:25:49.83\00:25:55.90
EXPERIENCE YOU BRING TO GOSPEL
OUTREACH AND THE ENTHUSIASM YOU
INSPIRE US WITH AS WE SEE THESE
00:25:59.66\00:26:05.80
STORIES THAT YOU HAVE PROVIDED.
00:26:08.56\00:26:11.16
AND I JUST WANT TO USE THE
REMAINING SECONDS TO THANK YOU
PEOPLE, ALL OF YOU OUT THERE,
00:26:11.16\00:26:17.53
WHO ARE VIEWING THIS PARTICULAR
PROGRAM FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE
AND WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO HELP
00:26:17.53\00:26:24.40
ADVANCE THE WORK OF GOD'S
KINDGOM THROUGH THE MINISTRY OF
00:26:24.40\00:26:30.16
GOSPEL OUTREACH. LIKE JOHN
DUROE, WE HAVE VOLUNTEERS WHO
BRING US THESE REPORTS FROM
00:26:30.16\00:26:37.46
ACROSS THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORLD
AND WE WANT TO KEEP YOU UP TO
DATE AS BEST WE CAN AND PRAY FOR
00:26:37.46\00:26:44.46
GOD'S INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE
THAT YOU WILL SEE HOW YOU MAY
ALSO BE A PART OF THIS EXCITING
00:26:44.46\00:26:50.50
WORK AS WE ANTICIPATE OUR HOPE
OF THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST
OUR LORD AND SAVIOR.
00:26:53.23\00:26:59.56
AND I'LL LOOK FORWARD TO BEING
WITH YOU NEXT TIME, GOD WILLING.
00:26:59.56\00:27:05.63
[CLOSING MUSIC]
00:27:05.63\00:27:18.06
I NEED TO SPREAD
THE GOSPEL HERE AT HOME.
00:27:18.06\00:27:20.60
WHERE IS THE
10/40 WINDOW ANYWAY?
00:27:21.00\00:27:23.83
THOSE PEOPLE ARE TOO FAR AWAY.
00:27:23.83\00:27:26.96
SOMEONE ELSE CAN
TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS
00:27:26.96\00:27:29.43
MAYBE THEY COULD JUST WATCH TV?
00:27:29.43\00:27:32.93
NEARLY THREE BILLION
PEOPLE TO REACH, MY HEAD HURTS.
00:27:32.93\00:27:38.00
THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO,
00:27:38.00\00:27:40.10
I GIVE UP.
00:27:40.10\00:27:41.70
WHAT'S THE POINT OF TRYING?
00:27:41.70\00:27:43.40
I CAN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:27:43.40\00:27:45.10
ACTUALLY YOU CAN
MAKE A DIFFERENCE
00:27:45.10\00:27:47.86
AND JESUS ASKED YOU
TO GO TO ALL THE WORLD.
00:27:47.86\00:27:51.90
WHERE?
00:27:51.90\00:27:53.16
ALL THE WORLD.
00:27:53.16\00:27:54.83
HOW CAN I GO? I
HAVE COMMITMENTS.
00:27:54.83\00:27:57.23
YOU CAN PRAY.
00:27:57.70\00:27:59.46
YOU CAN VOLUNTEER YOUR TALENTS.
00:28:00.06\00:28:02.26
YOU CAN TELL OTHERS.
00:28:02.26\00:28:07.73
YOU CAN GIVE MONEY TO
SPONSOR BIBLE WORKERS.
00:28:07.73\00:28:10.96
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE
SEARCHING FOR HOPE AND MEANING
00:28:10.96\00:28:14.03
BUT THEY WON'T
FIND IT WITHOUT YOU.
00:28:14.03\00:28:16.50
BE THE SPARK,
00:28:16.50\00:28:17.63
LIGHT THE FIRE,
00:28:17.63\00:28:18.96
FINISH THE WORK,
00:28:18.96\00:28:20.36
FINISH THE WORK.
00:28:20.36\00:28:22.10
