I AM SO DELIGHTED TO HAVE
THE PRIVILEGE OF WELCOMING YOU
00:00:24.46\00:00:27.16

IN MISSIONS" PROGRAM.
00:00:27.16\00:00:31.00
AND AS I USUALLY SAY, THOSE OF
YOU WHO ARE REGULARS WITH US YOU
KNOW WHAT THIS PROGRAM IS ALL
00:00:31.00\00:00:36.43
ABOUT BUT YOU ARE STILL WITH US
BECAUSE YOU KNOW IT IS GOING TO
BE AN EXCITING NEW REPORT OF
00:00:36.43\00:00:41.70
WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH GOSPEL
OUTREACH AT SOME FAR FLUNG
CORNER OF THIS GLOBE
00:00:41.70\00:00:47.76
PARTICULARLY IN
THE 10/40 WINDOW.
00:00:47.76\00:00:50.76
SO WELCOME, WELCOME AND YOU WILL
WANT TO STAY WITH TODAY BECAUSE
WE HAVE A PERSON AS MY GUEST
00:00:50.76\00:00:58.50
TODAY WHO KNOWS PROBABLY ABOUT
AS MUCH ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH
AND THE FRONTLINES AS ANYBODY I
00:00:58.50\00:01:04.63
GET TO TALK TO.
00:01:07.46\00:01:08.90
SO WELCOME,
WELCOME TO RON WATTS.
00:01:08.90\00:01:12.56
THANK YOU DAN.
00:01:12.56\00:01:13.53
I'M GLAD YOU ARE WITH US RON.
00:01:13.53\00:01:14.53
IT IS A DELIGHT.
00:01:14.53\00:01:16.20
AND I THINK THIS IS THE FIRST
OPPORTUNITY I HAVE HAD TO SIT
WITH YOU ON THE SET HERE AT
00:01:16.20\00:01:21.60
GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:01:21.60\00:01:23.20
I'VE RUBBED SHOULDERS
WITH YOU IN OTHER PLACES
00:01:23.20\00:01:26.13
AND THIS IS AN EXPERIENCE I
HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO.
00:01:26.13\00:01:29.60
AND I ALSO.
00:01:29.60\00:01:30.96
AND SO WE ARE GOING TO DO A
LITTLE CATCHUP FOR THE SAKE OF
00:01:30.96\00:01:37.10
OUR VIEWERS WHO MAY
NOT KNOW YOU AS WELL.
00:01:37.10\00:01:40.66
BUT WE WANT THEM TO KNOW YOUR
CONNECTION TO GOSPEL OUTREACH
AND IN MY MIND I'VE BEEN SAYING
00:01:40.66\00:01:48.66
YOU ARE ONE OF THE "FATHERS" OF
GOSPEL OUTREACH, WOW, IN SOME
SPECIAL, SPECIAL WAYS AND WE MAY
00:01:48.66\00:01:54.70
GET TO THAT BUT FIRST LET'S DO A
LITTLE RUN OVER OF WHO RON WATTS
IS AND WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN.
00:01:57.06\00:02:03.20
NOW RON, IN MY EXPERIENCE, I
FIRST REALLY CONCENTRATED ON RON
WATTS AND HIS PRECIOUS WIFE
00:02:06.63\00:02:12.70
DOROTHY WHEN YOU WERE IN ALASKA.
00:02:14.96\00:02:17.86
YOU WERE PRESIDENT THERE.
00:02:17.86\00:02:19.00
YES, I WAS PRESIDENT
OF THE ALASKA CONFERENCE.
00:02:19.00\00:02:21.70
A WONDERFUL PLACE
WITH WONDERFUL PEOPLE.
00:02:21.70\00:02:24.60
BUT YOU HAD BEEN OTHER
IMPORTANT PLACES BEFORE THERE.
00:02:24.60\00:02:29.66
TELL US ABOUT THAT.
00:02:29.66\00:02:31.03
WELL, I SPENT MY
EARLIER YEARS IN INDIA.
00:02:31.03\00:02:35.00
I WENT THERE WHEN I WAS 29 YEARS
OF AGE AND GREEN BEHIND THE EARS
AND TO LEARN THAT CULTURE AND TO
00:02:35.00\00:02:42.40
LEARN HOW TO DO EVANGELISM THERE
AND I WAS TRAINING THE PASTORS
IN THE BEGINNING AND THEN I
00:02:42.40\00:02:49.80
BECAME THE LOCAL FIELD PRESIDENT
AND THE UNION PRESIDENT FOR A
NUMBER OF YEARS AND THEN AFTER
00:02:49.80\00:02:55.96
16 YEARS IN INDIA I CAME BACK TO
NORTH AMERICA AND THAT IS WHEN I
00:02:55.96\00:03:01.46
WAS IN ALASKA. AND WE CONNECTED.
00:03:01.46\00:03:03.23
NOW YOUR HISTORY IN INDIA JUST
MAKES MY MIND RACE BECAUSE I'VE
HAD THE PRIVILEGE IN MINISTERING
00:03:03.23\00:03:09.20
IN CERTAIN PLACES OVER THE YEARS
OF RUNNING INTO A LOT OF PEOPLE
WHO HAD ROOTS IN INDIA AND RIGHT
00:03:14.06\00:03:20.13
KIND OF CLOSE HOME AND WE GET
KIND OF PERSONAL IN SOME OF THE
STORIES WE TELL HERE.
00:03:23.26\00:03:29.20
MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW'S
GRANDFATHER IS ROSCOE LOWRY.
00:03:29.20\00:03:35.13
OH MY, ROSCOE WAS THE DIVISION
PRESIDENT WHEN I WENT TO INDIA
AND MY COACH, THE ONE WHO TAUGHT
00:03:35.13\00:03:42.60
ME THE ROPES, AS IT WERE,
AND HOW TO ADAPT TO THE CULTURE.
00:03:42.60\00:03:46.46
WELL, AND I'M SURE YOU LIKE TO
SEE ROSCOE ANY CHANCE YOU GET AS
00:03:46.46\00:03:51.36
WELL. ROSCOE IS A
WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL MAN.
00:03:51.36\00:03:53.83
HE IS IN HIS 90'S NOW AND I LOVE
TO SIT WITH HIM AND YOU JUST
KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AS YOU HEAR
00:03:53.83\00:04:01.83
AMAZING STORIES THAT ARE LIKE
YESTERDAY FOR HIM FROM INDIA.
00:04:01.83\00:04:07.40
HE HAS A VERY, VERY RICH
EXPERIENCE AND BACKGROUND FROM
00:04:07.40\00:04:12.33
HIS LIFE IN INDIA. THE OTHER
NAME QUICKLY, A COUPLE OF NAMES,
00:04:12.33\00:04:19.90
ARE THE ASHLOCKS. OH YES, THE
ASHLOCK FAMILY SEVERAL OF THEM
WERE THERE, THE FATHER AND THE
00:04:19.90\00:04:26.56
FATHER SPENT HIS LIFETIME OF
MINISTRY, FRANK ASHLOCK, YES AND
THEN HIS SONS TOM AND JIM AND
00:04:26.56\00:04:32.63
EVEN SINCE TOM'S DEATH BETTY HAS
BEEN BACK TO INDIA FOR
CELEBRATING I NAGALAND OR
00:04:35.83\00:04:41.66
SOMEPLACE. YES,
SEVERAL TIMES ACTUALLY.
00:04:41.66\00:04:43.83
THEY ARE VERY MUCH
LOVED IN NORTHEAST INDIA.
00:04:43.83\00:04:46.46
THE OTHER NAME I WILL MENTION, I
COULD GO ON LONGER THAN WE HAVE
HERE TODAY BUT THE OTHER NAME IS
00:04:46.46\00:04:51.70
WELDON MATTISON.
00:04:51.70\00:04:53.53
WELDON IS GOING TO
BE 90 IN A FEW DAYS.
00:04:53.53\00:04:56.30
YES, EXACTLY.
00:04:56.30\00:04:58.03
WE ARE TAPING HERE AT GOSPEL
OUTREACH THE LAST OF SEPTEMBER,
2012 AND I THINK IT IS OCTOBER 4
00:04:58.03\00:05:03.63
IS WELDON MATTISONS
90TH BIRTHDAY, THAT'S RIGHT.
00:05:06.93\00:05:10.10
AND I AM INVITED TO THE PARTY.
00:05:10.10\00:05:12.20
WOW, THAT IS WONDERFUL.
00:05:12.20\00:05:13.80
I HAVE TO TELL YOU WHEN YOU
MENTIONED WELDON, HE WAS THE
MINISTERIAL DIRECTOR OF THE
00:05:13.80\00:05:18.06
DIVISION IN INDIA WHEN I CAME AS
THE MINISTERIAL DIRECTOR OF THE
SOUTH INDIA UNION SO
00:05:18.06\00:05:22.86
IMMEDIATELY,OF COURSE, WE
STARTED WORKING TOGETHER AND HE
KNOWS THE LOCAL LANGUAGES AND
00:05:22.86\00:05:28.30
KNOWS THE CULTURE SO MUCH AND
I LEARNED AN IMMENSE AMOUNT FROM
00:05:28.30\00:05:33.30
HIM. WE BECAME VERY
CLOSE FRIENDS WITH HIM.
00:05:33.30\00:05:36.06
I GET TO VISIT HIM, I'M A PASTOR
FOR SENIOR CARE AT LOMA LINDA
UNIVERSITY CHURCH AND WELDON IS
00:05:36.06\00:05:43.30
A MEMBER OF MY
PARISH SO I GET TO SEE HIM.
00:05:43.30\00:05:46.46
ALRIGHT, LET'S FAST FORWARD TO
WHERE WE ARE AND YOU RETURNED TO
INDIA WHEN AND IN WHAT CAPACITY.
00:05:46.46\00:05:52.50
IN 1997 I WENT BACK THE
SECOND TIME TO BE THE DIVISION
00:05:55.46\00:06:00.66
PRESIDENT. THE PRESIDENT OF THE
DIVISION HAD A BRAIN ANEURYSM
AND COULDN'T CONTINUE SO THEY
00:06:00.66\00:06:05.50
ASKED ME TO GO
AND FILL OUT HIS TERM.
00:06:05.50\00:06:08.03
SO WE WENT FOR 3 YEARS THINKING
WE'D, WE DIDN'T TAKE ANYTHING
00:06:08.03\00:06:11.86
WITH US. I
DIDN'T TAKE MY SERMONS.
00:06:11.86\00:06:13.76
I JUST TOOK A BIBLE AND A FEW
PILLOWS THINKING WHAT'S 3 YEARS,
00:06:13.76\00:06:18.43
YOU KNOW. AND THEN OF COURSE,
WE ENDED UP STAYING 11 YEARS.
00:06:18.43\00:06:21.26
WOW.
00:06:21.26\00:06:22.43
WHEN YOU RETURNED TO INDIA AFTER
YOUR EARLIER HISTORY THERE,
00:06:22.43\00:06:26.13
WHAT HIT YOU THE
HARDEST WHEN YOU GOT BACK?
00:06:26.13\00:06:30.06
WHAT HIT ME THE HARDEST, I'LL
TELL YOU I THINK I REALIZED THE
GREAT POTENTIAL FOR WINNING
00:06:30.06\00:06:37.53
PEOPLE TO THE LORD
JESUS CHRIST IN INDIA.
00:06:37.53\00:06:40.20
AND I HAD HAD SOME EXPERIENCE
THAT LED ME TO THINK WE OUGHT TO
PLAN IN A BIGGER WAY AND WE
00:06:40.20\00:06:47.43
OUGHT TO PLAN ON GETTING A
MILLION NEW MEMBERS IN INDIA.
00:06:47.43\00:06:51.23
THERE ARE OVER A BILLION PEOPLE
THERE AND I TOOK THAT TO THE
DIVISION COMMITTEE AND THEY
00:06:51.23\00:06:57.16
UNANIMOUSLY VOTED IT.
00:06:57.16\00:06:59.40
NOT A MAN DISSENTED AND SO
WE MADE OUR PLANS AND BEGAN TO
00:06:59.40\00:07:04.86
WORK. AND GOD BLESSED AND IN A
MATTER OF 8 YEARS, WE HAD A
MILLION NEW MEMBERS.
00:07:04.86\00:07:11.13
WOW.
00:07:11.13\00:07:12.83
AND WE WANT TO GET INTO THAT
DEEPLY BUT WHAT YOU REMIND ME OF
WHEN DEAR TOM ASHLOCK, HE AND
00:07:12.83\00:07:19.00
BETTY I THINK,
PIONEERED IN NAGALAND.
00:07:19.00\00:07:22.26
NAGALAND AND THE FULL COURSE OF
THEIR MINISTRY OVER MILES AND
THROUGH CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WERE
00:07:22.26\00:07:28.33
UNBELIEVABLE, AS I
REMEMBER THE STORIES
00:07:30.50\00:07:34.00
AND THE RETURN WAS SO MINIMAL
FOR ALL OF THEIR HARD WORK.
00:07:34.00\00:07:39.50
THAT IS TRUE AND THAT IS TRUE OF
SCORES OF MISSIONARIES WHO
WORKED IN INDIA AND MANY OF THEM
00:07:39.50\00:07:44.83
SPENT THEIR LIVES THERE.
00:07:44.83\00:07:46.53
THEN, FOR YOU TO COME WITH
THIS VISION FOR A MILLION SOULS,
00:07:46.53\00:07:51.53
THAT MUST HAVE HIT SOME
OF THE FOLKS PRETTY HARD?
00:07:51.53\00:07:55.03
CAN THAT HAPPEN IN INDIA?
00:07:55.03\00:07:56.76
WELL INDEED, IF THE LORD HADN'T
SOMEHOW SPOKEN TO US AND SAID
THIS MUST BE DONE AND THIS CAN
00:07:56.76\00:08:04.80
BE DONE, THERE IS NO WAY WE
COULD HAVE EVEN THOUGHT OF IT.
00:08:04.80\00:08:07.90
WE ARE SHARING HERE IN THE
CONTEXT OF GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:08:07.90\00:08:14.63
YOU RETURNED IN 1997, WERE THERE
ANY GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS IN
00:08:14.63\00:08:20.13
INDIA IN 1997? I DON'T REMEMBER
DAN, IF THERE WERE ANY THERE AT
THAT TIME BUT VERY SHORTLY
00:08:20.13\00:08:26.23
THEREAFTER THEY BECAME
VERY, VERY MUCH INVOLVED.
00:08:26.23\00:08:28.50
WE HAD HUNDREDS OF
VOLUNTEERS, WELL LOCAL WORKERS.
00:08:28.50\00:08:33.90
WE WOULD CALL THEM VOLUNTEERS.
00:08:33.90\00:08:35.26
YES.
00:08:35.26\00:08:36.96
THE WHATEVER WE CALLED THEM THEY
WERE DOING EVANGELISTIC WORK,
PLANTING NEW CHURCHES AND WE
00:08:36.96\00:08:41.80
BECAME THE LARGEST FIELD WHERE
GOSPEL OUTREACH PEOPLE WERE
00:08:41.80\00:08:46.36
WORKING. MANY OF THEM HAD
TREMENDOUS SUCCESS, PLANTED A
LOT OF NEW CHURCHES.
00:08:46.36\00:08:51.13
UNDER YOUR LEADERSHIP WERE THE
FIRST GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS
00:08:51.13\00:08:55.00
INVITED TO INDIA? I
THINK PROBABLY THAT IS TRUE.
00:08:55.00\00:08:56.83
HOW DID YOU HEAR
ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH?
00:08:56.83\00:08:59.66
NOW YOU ARE ASKING ME A
DIFFICULT QUESTION, DAN.
00:08:59.66\00:09:03.03
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS WELL KNOWN.
00:09:03.03\00:09:05.20
I DON'T REMEMBER HOW
I FOUND OUT ABOUT IT.
00:09:05.20\00:09:07.83
IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE
HOW YOU FOUND OUT ABOUT IT, YOU
DID AND AS A RESULT THE REST AS
00:09:07.83\00:09:15.00
WE SAY IS HISTORY.
00:09:15.00\00:09:16.53
A MILLION
MEMBERS WITHIN 8 YEARS?
00:09:16.53\00:09:19.70
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.
00:09:19.70\00:09:21.43
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED AND GOSPEL
OUTREACH AND THE PIONEERS THAT
WE SENT OUT TO VILLAGES WERE A
00:09:21.43\00:09:26.76
VERY, VERY BIG PART OF THAT.
00:09:26.76\00:09:29.10
THEY WOULD WORK AND
ESTABLISH THE CONGREGATIONS.
00:09:29.10\00:09:32.20
YOU PERHAPS ARE IN THE BEST
POSITION TO RESPOND TO THIS
QUESTION OF ANYBODY I'VE VISITED
00:09:32.20\00:09:37.26
WITH ON AN "ADVENTURES IN
MISSIONS" PROGRAM, TELL US HOW
YOU, A DIVISION PRESIDENT,
00:09:37.26\00:09:43.33
INVOLVED IN THE ACCEPTED
STRUCTURE OF THE SEVENTH DAY
ADVENTIST CHURCH HOW DID YOU
00:09:46.40\00:09:54.33
DETERMINE WHO WOULD BE
A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER?
00:09:54.33\00:09:57.76
OR WHAT ROLE DID
YOU HAVE IN THAT?
00:09:57.76\00:10:00.70
WELL, I TRUSTED THE
LOCAL PEOPLE, THE LOCAL MISSION
00:10:00.70\00:10:05.76
PRESIDENTS. THEY
MADE THE SELECTIONS.
00:10:05.76\00:10:07.10
I DIDN'T MAKE THE SELECTIONS.
00:10:07.10\00:10:08.63
I NEGOTIATED WITH GOSPEL
OUTREACH, TOLD THEM WHAT THE
PROGRAM WAS AND PUT THEM IN
00:10:08.63\00:10:13.03
TOUCH WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH, TOLD
THEM THE QUALIFICATIONS THAT
WOULD BE NEEDED BUT THEY MADE
00:10:13.03\00:10:17.70
THE SELECTIONS AND DID A
VERY GOOD JOB OF IT ACTUALLY.
00:10:17.70\00:10:21.90
AND I CAN SAY THAT THE PEOPLE
THAT WE WORKED WITH IN THE LOCAL
FIELD SHOWED GREAT WISDOM IN THE
00:10:21.90\00:10:29.03
SELECTIONS THAT
THEY MADE BECAUSE THOSE
00:10:29.03\00:10:30.60
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS
REALLY DID OUTSTANDING WORK.
00:10:30.60\00:10:34.30
NOW WE COMBINED IT WITH
EVANGELISITIC CAMPAIGNS THAT
WERE, YOU KNOW, SPONSORED BY
00:10:34.30\00:10:39.23
OTHERS AND SO FORTH SO THAT THEY
WOULD HAVE A PLACE TO BRING THE
PEOPLE TO MAKE THEIR DECISIONS
00:10:39.23\00:10:44.63
FOR BAPTISM AND SO IT WAS A
COMBINATION WORK BUT GOSPEL
OUTREACH WAS A VERY, VERY BIG
00:10:44.63\00:10:51.66
PART IN OUR GETTING
THAT MILLION NEW MEMBERS.
00:10:51.66\00:10:54.00
NOW THIS IS A VERY
FUNDAMENTAL KIND OF QUESTION.
00:10:54.00\00:10:57.73
YOU SPOKE OF THE LOCAL
CONFERENCES WISDOM IN MAKING
SELECTIONS, WHERE DID THIS
00:10:57.73\00:11:03.93
SELECTION OPPORTUNITY COME FROM?
00:11:03.93\00:11:06.33
APPLICATIONS?
00:11:06.33\00:11:07.96
ASKING PEOPLE OR
HOW DOES THAT WORK?
00:11:07.96\00:11:11.26
WHAT I DISCOVERED THAT THEY DID
WHEN YOU GIVE THEM FREEDOM, THEY
WILL BE VERY CREATIVE BUT I
00:11:11.26\00:11:16.76
DISCOVERED THAT MANY OF THE
VOLUNTEERS THAT THEY SELECTED
WERE FOLKS WHO HAD STUDIED IN
00:11:16.76\00:11:22.96
OUR BOARDING SCHOOLS.
00:11:22.96\00:11:24.20
OH.
00:11:24.20\00:11:25.96
AND MAYBE HADN'T FINISHED HIGH
SCHOOL OR MAYBE HAD AND HAD GONE
INTO OTHER PROFESSIONS BUT THEY
00:11:25.96\00:11:29.93
HAD A BACKGROUND AS STUDENTS IN
THE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST
EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.
00:11:29.93\00:11:34.83
THEY HAD BEEN STUDYING IN OUR
BOARDING SCHOOLS AND THEY WERE
THE ONES WITH THE BACKGROUND WHO
00:11:34.83\00:11:39.63
QUICKLY DEVELOPED THE
SYSTEM OF GIVING BIBLE STUDIES.
00:11:39.63\00:11:42.73
THEY ALSO HAD CERTAIN PERSONAL
TRAITS OF FRIENDSHIP AND HOW TO
WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE
00:11:42.73\00:11:48.56
THAT THEY LEARNED BY
STUDYING IN AN ADVENTIST SCHOOL.
00:11:48.56\00:11:51.23
AN ADVENTIST EDUCATION WAS A
VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THOSE
FIRST VOLUNTEERS BEING SELECTED.
00:11:51.23\00:11:57.10
YOU'RE IN THE BEST POSITION
TOO, TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION.
00:11:57.10\00:12:00.90
WHAT IS THE EXTENT OF ADVENTIST
EDUCATION, SECONDARY EDUCATION
00:12:00.90\00:12:05.86
LIKE ACADEMIES,
BOARDING SCHOOLS IN INDIA?
00:12:05.86\00:12:08.80
WELL, INDEED, INDIA IS A COUNTRY
WITH MANY LANGUAGES AND SEVERAL
MAJOR LANGUAGES WITH A HUNDRED
00:12:08.80\00:12:16.46
MILLION PEOPLE OR MORE
SPEAKING THOSE LANGUAGES.
00:12:16.46\00:12:19.83
WE, OUR MISSION OVER THE YEARS
REALIZED FROM ITS VERY EARLY
DAYS THAT THE HOPE OF
00:12:19.83\00:12:26.36
ESTABLISHING A
SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH
00:12:26.36\00:12:28.53
IN INDIA IN A STRONG WAY
WAS THROUGH CHRISTIAN EDUCATION.
00:12:28.53\00:12:32.00
SO WE HAD BOARDING ACADEMIES
00:12:32.00\00:12:33.73
IN ALL THE MAJOR
LANGUAGE AREAS. WONDERFUL.
00:12:33.73\00:12:37.63
AND THOSE HAD BEEN
GOING ON FOR SCORES OF YEARS.
00:12:37.63\00:12:41.16
I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW OUR EARLY
PIONEEERS EVEN FOUND A WAY TO
START SOME OF THOSE.
00:12:41.16\00:12:45.56
THOSE SCHOOLS ARE THERE TODAY
00:12:45.56\00:12:46.93
AND STILL PRODUCING SOME VERY
GOOD SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST YOUNG
00:12:46.93\00:12:51.93
PEOPLE. JUST FOR SAKE OF
ILLUSTRATION PICK OUT ONE OF
THOSE SCHOOLS IN SOME STATE,
00:12:51.93\00:12:58.26
SOME PLACE NO MATTER THE
LANGUAGE AND TELL US ABOUT THAT
SCHOOL, THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS
00:12:58.26\00:13:04.86
AND HOW STUDENTS GET
THERE AND ARE SUPPORTED THERE.
00:13:04.86\00:13:06.46
WELL ONE OF THE PLACES WHERE A
LOT OF GOSPEL OUTREACH
VOLUNTEERS OR WORKERS CAME FROM
00:13:06.46\00:13:12.10
WAS THE NARSAPUR BOARDING
SCHOOL IN ANDHRA PRADESH.
00:13:12.10\00:13:15.66
O.K.
00:13:15.66\00:13:16.96
AND THAT HAD BEEN GOING ON FOR
FROM THE EARLIEST DAYS OF OUR
00:13:16.96\00:13:21.10
WORK. I CAN'T
GIVE A DATE FOR IT.
00:13:21.10\00:13:23.20
MANY MISSIONARIES THAT I
KNOW HAD BEEN PRINCIPALS OF THAT
00:13:23.20\00:13:27.06
SCHOOL AND THEY
GAVE EXCELLENT TRAINING.
00:13:27.06\00:13:29.56
JUST AN EXAMPLE: WHEN I WOULD
VISIT THE AREA AND I WOULD STAY
IN A HOTEL ON MY WAY BACK HOME
00:13:29.56\00:13:36.03
WAITING FOR THE TRAIN AT THE
JUNCTION, THEY WOULD COME TO MY
ROOM AND SEE HOW I WAS FOLDING
00:13:36.03\00:13:42.70
MY CLOTHES TO PUT
THEM IN THE SUITCASE.
00:13:42.70\00:13:45.53
AND THEY WOULD SAY "PASTOR,
LET ME FOLD YOUR CLOTHES".
00:13:45.53\00:13:49.03
I WAS AMAZED, THESE GUYS WHO HAD
BEEN TRAINED IN THE DORMITORY IN
OUR SCHOOL AND I WENT TO AN
00:13:49.03\00:13:56.06
ADVENTIST SCHOOL IN CANADA, YOU
KNOW, I NEVER LEARNED ANYTHING
LIKE THAT, BUT THEY TRAINED THEM
00:13:56.06\00:14:01.76
HOW TO FOLD THE SHIRT, HOW TO
FOLD THE TROUSERS AND I COULD
GET TWICE AS MUCH STUFF IN MY
00:14:01.76\00:14:08.76
SUITCASE WHEN THEY FOLDED IT.
00:14:08.76\00:14:10.53
LITTLE THINGS LIKE THAT.
00:14:10.53\00:14:11.93
FASCINATING
STORY, FASCINATING STORY.
00:14:11.93\00:14:13.70
RON, WE NEED TO NOW FOCUS -YOU
ARE NO LONGER DIVISION PRESIDENT
AND YOU ARE WORKING ON SOME VERY
00:14:13.70\00:14:19.40
IMPORTANT PROJECTS BUT ONE OF
THOSE IS YOUR ASSOCIATION WITH
00:14:23.00\00:14:26.53
GOSPEL OUTREACH.
TELL US ABOUT THAT.
00:14:26.53\00:14:27.46
WELL, I'M GOING TO
WORK WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:14:27.46\00:14:29.83
THIS IS MY FIRST MEETING AFTER
AGREEING FOR THAT AND THEY HAVE
GIVEN ME AN ASSIGNMENT OF
00:14:29.83\00:14:36.30
WESTERN INDIA AREA.
00:14:36.30\00:14:37.80
THAT IS THE TWO STATES
OF MAHARASTRA AND GUJARAT.
00:14:37.80\00:14:41.13
NOW OF COURSE THERE AREN'T
MANY PEOPLE THERE YOU KNOW.
00:14:41.13\00:14:43.16
MAHARASTRA ONLY HAS A HUNDRED
MILLION POPULATION AND GUJARAT
HAS ABOUT 65 MILLION SO THERE
00:14:43.16\00:14:49.46
ARE A FEW PEOPLE TO WORK WITH
AND IN THAT AREA IS THE CITY OF
00:14:49.46\00:14:55.33
BOMBAY. PRESENTLY HAVING ABOUT
14 MILLION PEOPLE BUT IT IS
TARGETED, IT'S DEMOGRAPHICS AND
00:14:55.33\00:15:01.46
THOSE PEOPLE WHO WORK THIS OUT
TELL US THAT BOMBAY IS DESTINED
TO BECOME THE LARGEST CITY IN
00:15:03.86\00:15:10.46
THE WORLD IN POPULATION.
00:15:10.46\00:15:12.06
THEY ARE EXPECTING BOMBAY TO TOP
OUT AT 33 MILLION AND IT SO
HAPPENS THAT THE GENERAL
00:15:12.06\00:15:17.93
CONFERENCE RIGHT NOW HAS A
PROGRAM FOR "EVANGELISM IN LARGE
00:15:17.93\00:15:22.36
CITIES". BOMBAY IS ONE OF THOSE
CITIES THAT HAS BEEN SELECTED
00:15:22.36\00:15:26.96
FOR THAT PURPOSE. YOU KEEP
SAYING BOMBAY AND I UNDERSTAND I
THOUGHT THEY CALL IT MUMBAI.
00:15:26.96\00:15:33.73
BOTH ARE CORRECT, BOTH ARE
CORRECT AND I THINK ANYBODY
THERE IF YOU SAY IT EITHER WAY
00:15:33.73\00:15:38.83
THEY'LL KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT, THEY'LL KNOW WHERE THEY
00:15:38.83\00:15:40.93
ARE. PROBABLY
MUMBAI IS MORE ACCURATE.
00:15:40.93\00:15:43.93
I THINK THE BRITISH HEARD THE
INDIANS SAYING MUMBAI AND THEY
SAID BOMBAY, YOU KNOW.
00:15:43.93\00:15:49.70
MANY OF OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS ARE IN VERY RURAL AREAS
ACROSS INDIA BUT UP TO 33
00:15:49.70\00:15:55.76
MILLION SOME DAY IN BOMBAY?
00:16:00.53\00:16:02.90
DO YOU HAVE GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS THERE AND HOW DO THEY
WORK IN THE CITY AS CONTRASTED
00:16:02.90\00:16:07.53
WITH A RURAL AREA.
00:16:07.53\00:16:09.23
WELL, WE HAVE ABOUT A DOZEN
WORKERS AT THE PRESENT TIME IN
BOMBAY THAT ARE GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:16:09.23\00:16:15.00
AND I THINK THAT THERE IS A
PLAN, HOPEFULLY THERE IS A PLAN
TO INCREASE THAT CONSIDERABLY AS
00:16:15.00\00:16:20.53
WE GET SPONSORS
FOR THIS PROGRAM.
00:16:20.53\00:16:24.13
BOMBAY HAS PEOPLE
FROM ALL OVER INDIA.
00:16:24.13\00:16:27.66
EVERY LANGUAGE GROUP IN THE
COUNTRY IS REPRESENTED IN THAT
00:16:27.66\00:16:31.43
CITY. THEY LIVE IN LOCALITIES
WHERE THEY USUALLY GROUP
TOGETHER AND THERE IS ABOUT A
00:16:31.43\00:16:37.33
THOUSAND PEOPLE FROM
TAMIL SPEAKING AREAS ARRIVING IN
00:16:37.33\00:16:41.60
BOMBAY EVERY DAY. MIGRANTS.
00:16:41.60\00:16:43.03
THERE IS A THOUSAND PEOPLE FROM
ANDHRA PRADESH THAT ARRIVE THERE
00:16:43.03\00:16:47.13
EVERY DAY. THAT IS HOW BOMBAY IS
GROWING AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE
DIFFICULTY IN OTHER PLACES
00:16:47.13\00:16:53.46
EARNING A LIVING OR IF A FAMINE
COMES OR IF THEY LOSE THEIR JOB
OR OTHER DIFFICULTIES, SOMEHOW
00:16:53.46\00:16:59.03
IF THEY GET TO BOMBAY THEY CAN
FIND A WAY TO GET A LITTLE BIT
00:16:59.03\00:17:03.96
OF MONEY SO THAT THEY
CAN SUPPORT THEIR FAMILIES.
00:17:03.96\00:17:05.56
THERE ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE; LOTS
OF MEN IN BOMBAY WHO'S FAMILIES
LIVE SOMEWHERE ELSE.
00:17:05.56\00:17:10.53
THE TAXI DRIVERS ARE MOSTLY FROM
UTTAR PRADESH IN NORTH INDIA,
THAT BY THE WAY, IS A STATE OF
00:17:10.53\00:17:16.00
200 MILLION PEOPLE AND THEY
LEAVE THEIR HOMES AND THEY COME
TO BOMBAY START DRIVING THE
00:17:16.00\00:17:22.03
TAXIS AND THEY
GO HOME ONCE A YEAR.
00:17:25.40\00:17:28.03
BUT THEY SEND MONEY
EVERY MONTH TO THEIR FAMILIES.
00:17:28.03\00:17:31.00
EVERY LANGUAGE GROUP IS
REPRESENTED IN BOMBAY AND WE
HAVE A LITTLE EXPERIENCE BECAUSE
00:17:31.00\00:17:35.60
SEVERAL YEARS AGO I REMEMBER
WHEN WE STARTED LOOKING AT
BOMBAY CAREFULLY; THERE WERE
00:17:35.60\00:17:40.23
ONLY 300 SEVENTH
DAY ADVENTISTS THERE.
00:17:40.23\00:17:42.40
THERE ARE NOW 3000.
00:17:42.40\00:17:44.30
WE CONCENTRATED, WE MADE IT A
SEPARATE MISSION, CITY MISSION
AND THEN STARTED DOING
00:17:44.30\00:17:49.60
EVANGELISM AND OF COURSE, THE
EVANGELISM THERE IS NOT PUBLIC
EVANGELISM AS WE THINK OF IT.
00:17:49.60\00:17:54.23
YOU KNOW I WANT YOU TO
TELL US MORE ABOUT THAT.
00:17:54.23\00:17:57.20
YOU THINK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE I
WANT YOU TO EXPLAIN TO US WHAT
YOUR ONE, TWO THREES ARE LEADING
00:17:57.20\00:18:03.33
UP TO THIS GREAT INITIATIVE FOR
EVANGELISM THAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN AND THIS IS MY
00:18:03.33\00:18:08.33
OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO OUR
VIEWERS ABOUT WHO WE ARE AND
WHAT WE ARE DOING HERE
00:18:08.33\00:18:12.03
AND WHAT THEY CAN DO.
00:18:12.03\00:18:13.80
YOU'VE BEEN MOVING TO THE EDGE
OF YOUR SEAT AS I HAVE, HEARING
RON WATTS ACCOUNT OF THE WORK IN
00:18:13.80\00:18:19.80
BOMBAY AND THE EXCITING
POTENTIAL OF WHAT CAN HAPPEN
THERE WITH THOSE MILLIONS OF
00:18:22.13\00:18:29.26
PEOPLE CONGREGATED IN ONE PLACE
AND THE CHALLENGE TO THE GOSPEL
TO REACH INTO THESE PEOPLE'S
00:18:29.26\00:18:36.40
LIVES AND HOMES.
00:18:36.40\00:18:38.30
RIGHT NOW, I WANT TO SAY THANK
YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO ARE A PART
OF THE GOSPEL OUTREACH FAMILY.
00:18:38.30\00:18:44.36
YOU HAVE BEEN SHARING
SACRIFICIALLY OF YOUR RESOURCES
TO HELP FUND GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:18:46.53\00:18:54.36
WORKERS AND WHAT I AM HEARING
COMING UP HERE WITH THE APPEAL
THAT RON IS GOING TO MAKE FOR
00:18:54.36\00:19:01.06
MORE WORKERS FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO MAKE AN
INVESTMENT IN PROBABLY ONE OF
00:19:01.06\00:19:08.80
THE MOST, THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL
FOR EVANGELISM ON THE PLANET.
00:19:08.80\00:19:15.43
AND SO, I WANT TO CONTINUE TO
LISTEN CAREFULLY AND BEGIN TO
PRAY AS TO WHAT GOD WOULD HAVE
00:19:15.43\00:19:21.36
YOU DO TO BE A
PART OF THIS WORK.
00:19:21.36\00:19:23.76
NOW, YOU CAN BE IN
TOUCH WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:19:23.76\00:19:25.63
WEBSITE: WWW.GOAIM.ORG
00:19:32.40\00:19:34.16
WE ARE GOING TO LEAVE IT THERE
ON SCREEN LONG ENOUGH FOR YOU TO
JOT IT DOWN BECAUSE YOU WANT TO
00:19:34.16\00:19:37.50
BE IN TOUCH
WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:19:37.50\00:19:39.66
THERE ARE GOING TO BE VOLUNTEERS
HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH WHO CAN
RESPOND TO YOUR INQUIRIES AND
00:19:39.66\00:19:46.13
HELP DIRECT YOU IN YOUR
SUPPORT OF THIS MINISTRY.
00:19:46.13\00:19:49.83
SO, THANK YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE,
THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE
AND WHAT YOU WILL DO TO ADVANCE
00:19:49.83\00:19:55.76
THE WORK OF THE KINGDOM TO
HASTEN THE COMING OF OUR LORD
00:19:55.76\00:20:00.20
AND SAVIOR. THE LORD OF
THOSE FOLKS IN BOMBAY AS WELL,
00:20:00.20\00:20:03.76
AS THE LORD OF THE FOLKS WHERE
YOU LIVE ACROSS NORTH AMERICA.
00:20:03.76\00:20:08.70
SO, GOD BLESS YOU AND I WANT TO
HEAR MORE OF RON WATTS ACCOUNT
OF THE OPPORTUNITIES
00:20:08.70\00:20:16.30
AND POTENTIAL IN BOMBAY.
00:20:16.30\00:20:18.86
THANK YOU RON FOR BEING WITH US.
00:20:18.86\00:20:20.53
WHAT ARE YOU STARTING WITH TO
BUILD YOUR TEAM AND ADVANCE THE
PROJECT THAT IS COMING UP.?
00:20:22.50\00:20:28.56
WELL, FORTUNATELY BOMBAY
IS ALREADY ORGANIZED AS A
00:20:32.86\00:20:37.00
SEPARATE CONFERENCE OR
MISSION AS IT IS THERE.
00:20:37.00\00:20:41.10
SO THEY HAVE A PRESIDENT AND A
TREASURER AND DEPARTMENTAL
DIRECTORS AND SO THEY HAVE A
00:20:41.10\00:20:45.90
STAFF, A TEAM THAT
IS ALREADY WORKING.
00:20:45.90\00:20:48.53
AND FORTUNATELY THERE ARE PEOPLE
FROM ALL OVER INDIA AND SO WE
WANT TO ESTABLISH CHURCHES IN
00:20:48.53\00:20:54.90
ALL THOSE LANGUAGES.
00:20:54.90\00:20:56.13
OH.
00:20:56.13\00:20:57.83
MULTILANGUAGE, YOU KNOW WE NEED
HINDI SPEAKING CHURCHES, WE NEED
TELAGU SPEAKING CHURCHES,
00:20:57.83\00:21:02.46
CONGREGATIONS WHO SPEAK
MALAYALAM AND YES SOME WHO SPEAK
00:21:02.46\00:21:06.66
ENGLISH. THERE IS A LOT OF
PEOPLE IN BOMBAY THAT SPEAK
00:21:06.66\00:21:10.33
ENGLISH AS WELL. IT IS THE
COMMERCIAL CAPITAL OF INDIA AND
IT IS, YOU KNOW, THE INDIAN
00:21:10.33\00:21:16.10
GOVERNMENT IS WANTING TO MAKE
BOMBAY THE LARGEST FINANCIAL
CENTER BETWEEN LONDON AND HONG
00:21:16.10\00:21:20.50
KONG. IS THAT RIGHT?
00:21:20.50\00:21:22.20
THAT IS THEIR TARGET FOR THE
CITY OF BOMBAY AND IT IS A PLACE
OF BUSTLING COMMERCE AND EVER
00:21:22.20\00:21:28.80
SINCE THE BRITISH DAYS ACTUALLY,
IT IS AN ISLAND AND THERE IS
HUGE POTENTIAL BECAUSE PEOPLE
00:21:28.80\00:21:35.10
WHO COME FROM THEIR VILLAGE
TO BOMBAY ARE LONELY PEOPLE.
00:21:35.10\00:21:40.30
THEY ARE LOOKING FOR FRIENDS AND
IF THERE IS SOMEBODY THERE WHO
SPEAKS THEIR LANGUAGE AND WHO
00:21:40.30\00:21:46.33
MAKES FRIENDS WITH THEM, HELPS
THEM PERHAPS GET SETTLED AND
STARTS TO TALK ABOUT HOPE AND
00:21:46.33\00:21:52.50
COURAGE AND STRENGTH THAT THEY
CAN FIND IN GOD AND IN THE LORD
JESUS CHRIST, THERE IS A GREAT
00:21:52.50\00:21:58.56
POTENTIAL FOR EVANGELISM.
00:22:09.00\00:22:10.53
WE HAVE LAY PEOPLE THAT WE CAN
TAKE TO THAT CITY AND DO THIS
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORK.
00:22:10.53\00:22:12.30
AND I CONCEIVE, I KNOW FROM PAST
EXPERIENCE, THAT WE CAN WIN NOT
HUNDREDS BUT THOUSANDS OF NEW
00:22:12.30\00:22:15.63
PEOPLE TO THE LORD
JESUS CHRIST IN THAT CITY.
00:22:15.63\00:22:18.06
SO, WE NEED AT LEAST LETS START
WITH 50 NEW VOLUNTEERS THEN GO
TO 100 BUT LET'S HAVE VOLUNTEERS
00:22:18.06\00:22:25.23
IN ALL THE LANGUAGES BECAUSE
WHAT HAPPENS THEN IS PEOPLE MOVE
TO THE CITY BUT THEY HAVE THEIR
00:22:25.23\00:22:31.43
RELATIVES BACK IN THEIR HOME
STATE AND THEIR HOME LANGUAGE
AND IF THEY LEARN OUR MESSAGE
00:22:31.43\00:22:37.50
THERE AND ACCEPT IT, THEN A
CHURCH WILL BE PLANTED IN THEIR
00:22:40.63\00:22:43.26
VILLAGE, IN THEIR
TOWN THAT THEY CAME FROM.
00:22:43.26\00:22:44.66
IT HAS A POTENTIAL OF HAVING
AN IMPACT ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
00:22:44.66\00:22:47.10
LET ME REDUCE, FOR THE BENEFIT
OF OUR VIEWERS WHO ARE THINKING
00:22:47.10\00:22:50.00
ABOUT THIS, REDUCE
THIS TO THE BASICS.
00:22:50.00\00:22:51.50
OBVIOUSLY THE COST OF LIVING
IN BOMBAY IS GOING TO BE GREATER
00:22:51.50\00:22:56.16
THAN IN SOME OF
THE VILLAGES OUT THERE.
00:22:56.16\00:22:59.26
THAT IS TRUE.
00:22:59.26\00:23:01.00
IF YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE 50 NEW
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS HOW
MUCH, ON AN AVERAGE, DOES IT
00:23:01.00\00:23:07.23
COST TO SUPPORT THAT
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER?
00:23:07.23\00:23:09.60
MY UNDERSTANDING IT IS A $150 IS
WHAT THE TARGET THAT GOSPEL
OUTREACH IS PUTTING AND THAT
00:23:09.60\00:23:14.86
WILL BE ADEQUATE.
00:23:14.86\00:23:16.20
IT WILL BE?
00:23:16.20\00:23:17.20
IT WILL BE ADEQUATE.
00:23:17.20\00:23:18.20
O.K.
00:23:18.20\00:23:19.86
AND EXPLAIN OUR VIEWERS LARGELY
KNOW THIS, BUT EXPLAIN WHAT DOES
THE $150 TAKE CARE OF?
00:23:19.86\00:23:25.23
ALRIGHT, IT TAKES CARE OF THEIR
PROVISIONS, THEIR FOOD COST, IT
TAKES CARE OF THEIR CLOTHING
00:23:27.70\00:23:33.86
COST, IT TAKES CARE OF THEIR
MEDICAL COST IF THEY HAVE SOME
PROBLEM WITH SICKNESS AND THEY
00:23:33.86\00:23:40.43
CAN - THEY HAVE TO HAVE A
PLACE TO LIVE, A PLACE TO RENT.
00:23:40.43\00:23:44.13
THAT IS PROBABLY THE MOST
EXPENSIVE THING IN A CITY LIKE
00:23:44.13\00:23:48.00
BOMBAY. WHAT
ABOUT TRANSPORTATION?
00:23:48.00\00:23:49.03
TRANSPORTATION NEEDS TO
BE INCLUDED IT'S A BIG CITY,
00:23:49.03\00:23:51.86
AND YOU NEED TO
FIND YOUR WAY AROUND.
00:23:51.86\00:23:54.46
THEY'LL FIND THEIR WAY AROUND ON
BICYCLES; THEY'LL GO BY PUBLIC
00:23:54.46\00:23:58.33
TRANSPORT. THERE
IS A GOOD TRANSPORT.
00:23:58.33\00:23:59.93
A LOT OF TRAINS IN BOMBAY GOING
TO DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE CITY.
00:23:59.93\00:24:04.20
THEY WON'T BE IN CARS, I CAN
ASSURE OF THAT BUT SOME OF THEM
WILL HAVE SCOOTERS,
00:24:04.20\00:24:09.70
MOTORSCOOTERS BUT THEY WILL NEED
TRANSPORTATION AND THEY NEED TO
GO TO THOSE PARTS OF THE CITY
00:24:09.70\00:24:15.16
WHERE THE PEOPLE SPEAK THEIR
LANGUAGE AND ESTABLISH CHURCHES
00:24:15.16\00:24:19.03
HERE AND THERE. NOW I CAN TELL
YOU WE ESTABLISHED ALREADY A
NUMBER OF CHURCHES IN BOMBAY AND
00:24:19.03\00:24:24.20
I'VE VISITED THEM AFTERWARD.
00:24:24.20\00:24:25.70
WE GOT SOME BUILDINGS WE WERE
ABLE TO BUY SOME OLDER
BUILDINGS, REMODELED THEM,
00:24:25.70\00:24:29.70
SOMETIMES RESIDENCES AND SO ON.
00:24:29.70\00:24:31.40
WHEN I HAVE GONE THERE ON A
SABBATH EVEN WHEN THEY DIDN'T
KNOW I WAS COMING, THE PLACE WAS
00:24:31.40\00:24:37.43
ALWAYS PACKED TO THE DOORS.
00:24:37.43\00:24:39.06
YOU COULD NOT GET IN.
00:24:39.06\00:24:40.73
ANYTHING YOU BUILD IN BOMBAY FOR
THE PEOPLE TO WORSHIP IN THEY
WILL FILL IT VERY QUICKLY.
00:24:40.73\00:24:46.16
THERE IS A HUNGER.
00:24:46.16\00:24:47.83
THERE IS A SPIRITUAL HUNGER
AMONG THE PEOPLE THERE AND THAT
HUNGER INTENSIFIES WHEN THEY
00:24:47.83\00:24:54.16
LEAVE THEIR HOMES
AND GO TO THE CITY.
00:24:54.16\00:24:57.06
THE WORK, IF I AM FOLLOWING YOU,
KIND OF LISTENING BETWEEN THE
LINES, THE WORK IS LARGELY GOING
00:24:57.06\00:25:04.20
TO BE DONE ON A PERSONAL
VISITATION WITNESS PROCESS.
00:25:04.20\00:25:10.33
IT WILL BE DONE BUT THEN THEY
WILL GATHER PEOPLE IN GROUPS IN
00:25:10.33\00:25:14.60
A HOME. BUT A SMALL
GROUP 15, 20, 25, 30 PEOPLE.
00:25:14.60\00:25:18.43
IF THEY HAVE GROUPS LARGER THAN
THAT, IT BECOMES TOO NOTICEABLE
AND PROBLEMS BECAUSE THERE ARE
00:25:18.43\00:25:25.03
-BOMBAY HAPPENS TO BE A CITY
WHERE PEOPLE ALSO HAVE WAYS OF
GETTING THEIR WAY THAT IS NOT
00:25:25.03\00:25:31.43
QUITE CIVILIZED,
SHALL I PUT IT THAT WAY?
00:25:31.43\00:25:33.93
I THINK WE UNDERSTAND.
00:25:33.93\00:25:35.70
SO YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL THAT
THOSE PEOPLE DO NOT DISTURB THE
MEETING SO YOU DO IT IN A QUIET
00:25:35.70\00:25:41.73
WAY BUT THAT QUIET WAY IS VERY,
VERY EFFECTIVE IN THAT CITY.
00:25:46.30\00:25:50.80
WE HAVEN'T TIME TO TALK ABOUT
THIS TO ANY GREAT EXTENT BUT
THIS KIND OF PERSONAL WORK EVEN
00:25:50.80\00:25:54.20
THOUGH IT IS A MAJOR POPULATION
AREA, THIS KIND OF PERSONAL WORK
IS GOING TO MEET THE GENERAL
00:25:54.20\00:25:58.60
CONFERENCE
EVANGELISTIC INITIATIVE?
00:25:58.60\00:26:02.10
I HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT THAT
QUESTION BUT I DON'T KNOW ALL
THOSE DETAILS BUT I THINK WHAT
00:26:02.10\00:26:08.76
THE GENERAL CONFERENCE IS
LOOKING AT IS PEOPLE TO BE WON
00:26:08.76\00:26:12.26
TO THE LORD. I DON'T THINK THEY
ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT HOW IT
00:26:12.26\00:26:15.26
IS BEING DONE AS LONG AS
IT IS BEING DONE EFFECTIVELY.
00:26:15.26\00:26:17.23
O.K.
00:26:17.23\00:26:18.46
I KNOW THE CITY OF BOMBAY IT IS
WISER TO DO IT IN SMALL GROUPS.
00:26:18.46\00:26:22.10
RON WATTS IT IS ALWAYS A

10/40 WINDOW ANYWAY?
00:27:21.16\00:27:24.03
THOSE PEOPLE ARE TOO FAR AWAY.
00:27:24.03\00:27:27.20
SOMEONE ELSE CAN
TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS.
00:27:27.20\00:27:29.00

00:27:37.86\00:27:40.23
I GIVE UP.
00:27:40.23\00:27:41.76
WHAT'S THE POINT OF TRYING?
00:27:41.76\00:27:43.46
I CAN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:27:43.46\00:27:45.83
ACTUALLY, YOU CAN
MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

AND JESUS ASKED YOU
TO GO TO ALL THE WORLD.
