00:23 WELCOME TO GOSPEL OUTREACH "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS". 00:27 I'M JULIE SANDERS-KEYMER AND YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY OF TRAVELING TO INDIA AND NEPAL, 00:32 I SHOULD SAY NEPAL, THAT'S HOW JAMES CAMPBELL SAYS IT. 00:35 WELCOME TO "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS" JAMES CAMPBELL. 00:38 THANK YOU AND IT'S GREAT TO BE ON ANOTHER PROGRAM OF "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS". 00:43 ABSOLUTELY. 00:44 SO, YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE US ON A TRIP. 00:46 YES, LET'S GO TO NEPAL FIRST. 00:50 WONDERFUL. 00:52 BEFORE WE GO TO NEPAL, I WOULD LIKE TO JUST TALK ABOUT: THERE'S A PICTURE WE ARE GOING 00:57 TO HAVE UP ON THE SCREEN AND IT'S A PICTURE OF A SUNSET. 01:03 GORGEOUS. 01:04 YES. 01:05 I TOOK THAT PICTURE JUST ABOUT A MONTH AGO ON A LAKE IN CALIFORNIA, GORGEOUS, BUT 01:12 THERE ARE BEAUTIFUL SUNSETS IN NEPAL ALSO AND IN INDIA. 01:19 SUNRISES, TOO NOW SOME PEOPLE DON'T GET UP IN TIME TO SEE THE SUNRISE BUT I USUALLY DO. 01:25 GOOD. 01:27 ANYWAY, YOU KNOW THERE IS A FEELING AMONG A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT THIS WORLD ISN'T GOING TO 01:38 LAST TOO MUCH LONGER AND I WANTED US TO THINK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT TODAY. 01:44 YOU KNOW, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO SEND GIFTS AND PRAY FOR THE WORK OF GOSPEL OUTREACH AND 01:51 FOR THE WORK OF THE WHOLE GOSPEL MESSAGE AND THEY TELL ME WE WANT TO GIVE NOW BECAUSE 02:01 WE ARE AFRAID THAT IN A LITTLE WHILE OUR MONEY WON'T BE WORTH ANYTHING ANYMORE. 02:07 AND I THINK THAT MOST OF US ARE AWARE OF THE PRECARIOUS FINANCIAL SITUATION THAT NOT 02:13 ONLY UNITED STATES, THE EUROPEAN COUNTRIES AND THE WHOLE WORLD, THE WHOLE WORLD, 02:20 THE WHOLE WORLD IS IN A MESS AND THE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING ARE BEYOND THE 02:29 CONTROL OF HUMAN BEINGS. 02:32 WELL, WE REALIZE THAT THE EVIL ONE IS PROBABLY GETTING A LITTLE MORE ROPE THESE DAYS 02:39 AND YOU KNOW I'D LIKE US TO: IS IT ALRIGHT ON "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS" TO LOOK IN THE 02:45 BIBLE A LITTLE BIT? 02:46 YOU KNOW WHAT, IF WE DON'T, I THINK IT WOULDN'T BE GOOD. 02:50 SO PLEASE DO, TAKE US ON A TRIP THERE FIRST, JAMES. 02:54 I WOULD LIKE US TO LOOK AT THE GOSPEL OF MARK 9:4 AND JESUS HAD SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL TO 03:01 SAY TO HIS DISCIPLES BACK THERE 03:03 AND I WONDER IF IT DOESN'T APPLY TO US TODAY ALSO? 03:08 I'M THINKING IT MUST BE THE GOSPEL OF MARK 4:9, ANYWAY WE'LL JUST FIND IT HERE. 03:13 YES, SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THAT ONE ANYWAY BUT GIVE US THE JIST OF IT. 03:22 YES. 03:23 IT SAYS "WORK WHILE IT IS DAY, THE NIGHT COMES WHEN NO MAN CAN WORK" AND THAT'S ONE OF 03:29 THE REASONS WHY WE ARE ALL SO EXCITED HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH BECAUSE NOW IS THE 03:34 TIME WHEN WE CAN SPREAD THE GOSPEL MESSAGE IN LOTS OF PARTS OF THE WORLD. 03:41 RIGHT. 03:42 WE ARE STILL ABLE TO TRAVEL AND WE ARE STILL ABLE TO SEND FUNDS TO PLACES THAT NEED A 03:47 LITTLE BIT OF BOOST TO GET THE GOSPEL OUT. 03:53 SO, JULIE AS YOU KNOW, GOSPEL OUTREACH IS SO EFFICIENT. 04:00 VERY, VERY EFFICIENT AND TRYING TO GET THIS WORK DONE SO JESUS CAN COME SOON. 04:06 RIGHT. 04:07 THERE IS ROMANS 13:12 AND YOU KNOW LIKE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING THOUGH, JAMES, IS WE HAVE 04:14 TODAY WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT TOMORROW SO WE NEED TO USE TODAY. 04:18 WE HAVE TODAY, WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT TOMORROW. 04:21 TRUE. 04:22 ROMANS 13:12 OR IS IT ROMANS 12:13. 04:24 I'M HAVING TROUBLE HERE. 04:26 THAT'S O.K. 04:27 JUST GIVE US THE JIST OF IT. 04:31 ROMANS 13:12 IT SAYS THAT THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END AND WE DON'T HAVE TIME AND WE WANT 04:43 TO JUST, I TELL YOU, IF YOU COULD BE AROUND THE GOSPEL OUTREACH OFFICE AND SEE THE 04:48 EXCITEMENT THAT THERE IS THERE WITH THE NEW PLANS THAT ARE BEING MADE, IT IS JUST 04:54 THRILLING WHAT'S HAPPENING. 04:56 GIVE US AN IDEA OF SOME OF THEM. 04:57 WELL, HOW ABOUT THE ONE MILLION THAT GOSPEL OUTREACH WOULD HELP TO BRING ONE 05:04 MILLION NEW PEOPLE TO JESUS IN THREE YEARS. 05:09 GREAT! 05:10 NOW THIS WAS TO START IN 2013. 05:15 NOW, 2013 IS JUST THREE MONTHS AWAY NOW. 05:17 I KNOW CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? 05:20 YES. 05:21 2013, 2014, 2015 THREE, I MEAN ONE MILLION NEW PEOPLE TO FIND THE GOSPEL MESSAGE AND BECOME 05:33 COMMITTED CHRISTIANS DURING THAT THREE YEAR PERIOD. 05:38 THAT'S A LOT MORE THAN IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. 05:40 HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? 05:42 WITH THE LORD AND ALL OF US WORKING TOGETHER IT CAN'T HAPPEN IN OUR OWN STRENGTH. 05:51 NO. 05:52 BUT IT WILL HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THE OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN OUR TIME. 05:59 THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT THE LAST DAYS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT BEING POURED OUT IN A SPECIAL WAY 06:05 AND LOOKING AT THE WORLD CONDITIONS WE MUST BE LIVING IN THAT TIME. 06:12 YES. 06:13 AND GOSPEL OUTREACH HAS THIS PLAN. 06:15 YOU KNOW, THE PLAN WAS TO START THIS IN 2013 BUT IT HAS ALREADY STARTED. 06:22 PRAISE THE LORD. 06:24 WE JUST GOT A REPORT THIS MORNING, YES, THAT ALREADY 81 ADDITIONAL GOSPEL OUTREACH 06:31 WORKERS HAVE BEEN SPONSORED. 06:33 GREAT AND THAT IS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEEN "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS" PERHAPS AND THEY 06:37 HAVE GIVEN A GIFT. 06:39 YES AND WHAT'S HAPPENING IS WE HAVE A PROGRAM CALLED "ADOPT A WORKER", "ADOPT A WORKER" AND 06:50 ON AN AVERAGE IN THE 10/40 WINDOW WHERE GOSPEL OUTREACH IS WORKING, WHERE 97 PER CENT 06:57 OF THE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT JESUS. 06:59 THE AVERAGE IS THAT IT COSTS $150 A MONTH 07:07 TO SUPPORT ONE OF THE LOCAL WORKERS IN THAT AREA. 07:10 NOW THAT'S VERY REASONABLE. 07:12 IN OUR AREA OF NEPAL AND NORTHERN INDIA, IT COSTS MUCH LESS THAN THAT. 07:19 OH, INTERESTING. 07:20 YES, BECAUSE THE STANDARD OF LIVING IS LESS THAN 07:23 IT IS IN SOME OTHER PARTS OF THE 10/40 WINDOW. 07:27 SURE AND TALK ABOUT THE 10/40 WINDOW JAMES FOR THE VIEWER 07:32 WHO DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT IS. 07:35 THE 10/40 WINDOW IS AN AREA OF THE WORLD FROM WESTERN AFRICA TO THE PHILIPPINES AND SO IT 07:43 IS PART OF AFRICA, ASIA, AND EVEN LITTLE BIT INTO EUROPE AND IT IS THE AREA FROM 07:52 APPROXIMATELY 10 DEGREES NORTH OF THE EQUATOR TO 40 DEGREES NORTH OF THE EQUATOR. 07:57 SO THAT WHOLE AREA WE CAN PICTURE IT LIKE A BIG RECTANGLE. 08:01 THAT'S RIGHT. 08:02 O.K. 08:03 THAT'S THE HOME OF MUSLIMS, BUDDHISTS AND HINDUS AS WELL AS LOTS OF FAITHFUL CHRISTIANS 08:14 BUT THOSE ARE THE PREDOMINANT RELIGIOUS GROUPS THERE. 08:15 AND YOU KNOW, EACH OF THOSE GROUPS HAVE SOMETHING TO BUILD ON BECAUSE DOWN THROUGH THE 08:25 AGES, GOD HAS BEEN WORKING AND IF YOU STUDY HOW THE WISEMEN CAME TO WELCOME THE BABY 08:36 JESUS, WHERE DID THEY COME FROM? 08:39 THEY CAME FROM PART OF THE 10/40 WINDOW; FROM PEOPLE WHO WEREN'T FOLLOWING THE LORD 08:44 JESUS, WEREN'T FOLLOWING YOU KNOW THE GOD OF HEAVEN, THE CREATOR GOD. 08:49 WELL, WE DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE, THE PEOPLE BACK THERE DIDN'T KNOW THERE WERE BUT 08:54 THOSE PEOPLE WERE, WERE STUDYING THE PROPHECIES. 09:00 I WONDER HOW MANY THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE STUDYING THE PROPHECIES IN THE 09:05 10/40 WINDOW THAT WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT. 09:08 I HAVE NO CLUE, ONLY THE LORD KNOWS THAT. 09:10 THE LORD KNOWS THAT AND HE WANTS US TO GET OUT THERE 09:13 AND BRING THE GOSPEL TO THOSE PEOPLE. 09:17 SO THIS "ADOPT A WORKER" THEN IS WHERE A GOSPEL OUTREACH SUPPORTER CAN THEN GIVE FUNDS 09:24 TO HELP AS WE SPONSOR THAT GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER IN THAT PARTICULAR COUNTRY. 09:29 THAT'S RIGHT. 09:30 WHAT WE DO, WE GET THE NAME OF A PROSPECTIVE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER. 09:37 NOW FROM MY TERRITORY I HAVE ALREADY SENT IN THE NAMES OF, OH, ABOUT 20 POSSIBLE WORKERS 09:46 AND SOME OF THEM, I THINK 14 HAVE ALREADY BEEN SPONSORED. 09:51 WOW. 09:52 YES, GREAT. 09:53 WE ARE JUST THRILLED ABOUT THAT AND THEY ARE GOING TO BEGINNING THEIR WORK, TODAY IS 10:01 SEPTEMBER 28, 2012, ON OCTOBER 1, JUST 3 DAYS FROM NOW, OCTOBER 1, 2012 THOSE NEW 10:13 PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BEGIN SPREADING THE GOSPEL MESSAGE. 10:16 GOOD. 10:17 THEY ARE READY TO GO ALREADY. 10:18 THEY ARE READY TO GO. 10:20 IN FACT, MOST OF THEM HAVE BEEN WITNESSING AS VOLUNTEERS IN THEIR HOME PLACES AND THEY 10:28 ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE ON FIRE FOR THE LORD. 10:31 GOOD. 10:32 GREAT. 10:33 YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU WERE MENTIONING JULIE, IT WOULDN'T BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR SOME OF 10:38 OUR VIEWERS TO SAY LOOK, I'D LIKE TO SUPPORT ONE OF THOSE OR MAYBE TEN OF THOSE. 10:44 JUST, I SHOULDN'T MAYBE LET ALL OF THE SECRETS OUT OF THE BAG, BUT I JUST HEARD THAT 10:51 SOMEBODY IN MOSCOW, RUSSIA IS SPONSORING TEN OF THOSE 81 WHO ARE ALREADY SPONSORED. 10:58 WELL, SEE PRAISE THE LORD. 11:00 PARDON ME, I MISSPOKE, IT IS SEVEN, SEVEN. 11:02 THEY ARE SPONSORING SEVEN BUT THEY WILL SPONSOR MORE ONCE THEY GET A REPORT. 11:06 WOW, MAYBE THEY HAVE A FRIEND THERE SO THAT IS WHERE WE WANT TO ASK OUR VIEWERS JAMES, FOR 11:10 THEM TO GET INVOLVED. 11:12 SO, IF YOU ARE EXCITED ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE HEARING FROM JAMES CAMPBELL HERE ABOUT HIS 11:19 AREA OF THE WORLD WHERE HE IS WORKING WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS, WE WOULD LIKE TO 11:23 INVITE YOU TOO, TO GET INVOLVED JUST LIKE THIS PERSONS IN MOSCOW, RUSSIA WHO 11:26 IS SPONSORING SEVEN GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 11:29 IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A PLEDGE OF SUPPORT TO GOSPEL OUTREACH. 11:45 MAYBE YOU WANT TO DO THE "ADOPT A WORKER" $150 A MONTH, $150 A MONTH ABSOLUTELY THAT 11:51 WOULD BE YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO GET INVOLVED. 12:00 WWW.GOAIM.ORG 12:06 < http://WWW.GOAIM.ORG> 12:22 WE ALSO HAVE A NEWSLETTER FOR YOU TO GET INVOLVED AND TO HEAR AND TO READ ALL OF THE 12:28 GREAT THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH. 12:31 OUR NEWSLETTER IS CALLED ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS AND YOU CAN REQUEST YOUR COMPLIMENTARY 12:35 COPY OF THAT BY CALLING US, EMAILING US, GOING TO OUR WEBSITE. 12:45 SO THAT WAS A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY JAMES TO ASK VIEWERS TO GET INVOLVED. 12:46 THANK YOU. 12:47 NOW, I'D LIKE US TO TALK ABOUT CHILD LITERACY CENTERS. 12:48 PLEASE. 12:50 YES, TWO YEARS AGO SOMEBODY WHO REALLY LOVES CHILDREN, A GRANDFATHER, GRANDMOTHER, YOU 12:55 KNOW WE GRANDPARENTS WE DOTE ON OUR GRANDCHILDREN. 13:03 THEY ARE A SPECIAL BREED. 13:04 BUT YOU KNOW, THIS COUPLE WHO LOVE THE LORD AND WHO LOVE CHILDREN THEY WERE THINKING 13:10 ABOUT THE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN IN NORTHERN INDIA AND NEPAL WHO 13:19 AREN'T GOING TO SCHOOL. 13:21 NOW, THERE ARE SCHOOLS BUT IT SOME CASES THE CHILDREN ARE NEEDED TO CARE FOR YOUNGER 13:27 CHILDREN OR TO WORK OR TO DO WHATEVER SO THEY ARE NOT GOING TO SCHOOL. 13:33 MAYBE THEY DON'T HAVE PROPER CLOTHES OR WHATEVER SO THIS COUPLE SAID LET'S START CHILD 13:39 LITERACY CENTERS SO THAT THESE CHILDREN CAN GET AN EDUCATION UP TO THE THIRD GRADE LEVEL. 13:44 THEY CAN LEARN TO READ, WRITE 13:48 AND DO SIMPLE ARITHMETIC AND THEY'LL ALSO LEARN HEALTH PRINCIPLES. 13:54 BEST OF ALL, THEY WILL LEARN THE BIBLE STORIES, GREAT, CHRISTIAN SONGS AND THEY WILL 14:02 LEARN HOW TO LIVE HEALTHFULLY. 14:05 WE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THEY LEARN HOW TO DRESS AND KEEP CLEAN. 14:08 WONDERFUL, SO KIND OF EVERYTHING COMBINED. 14:10 YES. 14:13 HERE IS A GROUP OF THESE CHILDREN IN THE COUNTRY OF NEPAL AND THEY ARE JUST 14:17 BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN. 14:19 THEY ARE. 14:22 YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS THEIR PARENTS SEE WHAT'S HAPPENED TO THEM AND THEY LISTEN TO THOSE 14:28 SONGS THAT THESE KIDS ARE SINGING AND THE KIDS ARE TELLING THEIR PARENTS THE 14:33 STORIES OF JESUS, DO YOU KNOW THAT IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS THERE HAVE BEEN 37 ADULTS 14:44 BAPTIZED BECAUSE OF THE INFLUENCE 14:48 OF THESE CHILDREN FROM THE CHILD LITERACY CENTERS. 14:49 PRAISE THE LORD. 14:51 OH, I HAD THE MOST WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. 14:53 THIS IS ONE OF THEIR SHELTERS WHERE THEY ARE, THIS IS IN NEPAL, THIS IS IN NEPAL, O.K 14:55 AND YOU CAN LOOK AT LITTLE GIRL IN THE FRONT, BRIGHT AND CHEERY SHE IS. 14:58 CUTE. 15:01 THEY ARE CUTE. 15:03 YES. 15:07 YOU KNOW THE INSTRUCTORS, WE DON'T CALL THEM TEACHERS 15:12 WE CALL THEM INSTRUCTORS IN THE LITERACY CENTERS. 15:14 WE ARE NOT CALLING THEM SCHOOLS BUT SOME OF THESE CHILDREN START FINDING OUT HOW 15:20 WONDERFUL IT IS TO LEARN AND THEIR PARENTS SEE HOW MUCH PROGRESS THEY ARE MAKING AND 15:25 THEY MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO SEND THEM TO SCHOOL. 15:28 OH BECAUSE THEY SEE THE BENEFITS OF IT. 15:29 YES. 15:31 OH WONDERFUL. 15:32 THESE INSTRUCTORS THEY GO OUT AFTER THEY DO THEIR INSTRUCTING IN THE CENTER THEN 15:37 THEY GO OUT AND VISIT THE HOMES AND THE PARENTS, THE MOTHERS ESPECIALLY ARE IN THE 15:44 HOME DURING THE DAY AND THEY JUST HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME TOGETHER. 15:50 IT IS A GREAT WAY TO REACH PEOPLE FOR JESUS. 15:53 SO HOW DO THE STUDENTS WHO GO TO THE LITERACY CENTERS, DO THEY HAVE TO APPLY? 15:55 ARE THEY FREE? 15:58 HOW DOES THAT WORK? 16:00 AT THE PRESENT TIME, WHAT'S HAPPENING IS THAT THESE INSTRUCTORS RECEIVE A SMALL 16:06 STIPEND AND THEY RECEIVE A SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY TO SET UP. 16:13 NOW, THAT SHELTER WE SAW ABOUT $1000 TO BUILD A SHELTER LIKE THAT. 16:23 NOMINAL. 16:25 YES, VERY LITTLE AND THE FIRST YEAR THEY GET, THE INSTRUCTOR GETS A STIPEND, THE SECOND 16:29 YEAR IT IS CUT DOWN BY 25% AND THE THIRD YEAR BY ANOTHER 25%, BY THE FOURTH YEAR IT IS 16:33 SUPPOSED TO BE SELF SUPPORTING. 16:38 BUT DO THE CHILDREN PAY TO GO THERE? 16:44 SOME OF THE CHILDREN WILL BE ASKED TO PAY A LITTLE BIT. 16:46 O.K. 16:48 AND THEY CAN HAVE FUND RAISING PROJECTS. 16:50 KIDS CAN RAISE MONEY. 16:51 OH YES THEY CAN. 16:53 I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY DO IN NEPAL, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE LEMONADE STANDS HERE MAYBE 16:56 THEY SELL CHIPATTIS, NAAN OR SOMETHING. 16:59 YOU KNOW, FOOD CAN SELL ANYPLACE; THIS IS TRUE, ESPECIALLY IN INDIA AND NEPAL 17:06 WHERE THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO NEED TO EAT. 17:08 WELL, HERE IS ANOTHER GROUP OF CHILDREN. 17:12 WOW, WHO ARE ATTENDING AN ADVENTIST SCHOOL IN NORTHERN INDIA? 17:18 THAT IS A BIG GROUP. 17:23 THAT IS A BIG GROUP, THEY STARTED OUT IN THIS SCHOOL WITH 13 CHILDREN AND NOW THEY 17:25 HAVE OVER 100 CHILDREN. 17:27 REALLY? 17:28 PRAISE THE LORD. 17:31 IT IS GROWING AND SOMEBODY, A GOSPEL OUTREACH SUPPORTER, 17:34 SENT THE MONEY TO BUILD THAT SCHOOL. 17:39 THEY HAVE A NICE SCHOOL BUILDING, BETTER THAN SOME, AND MONEY TO HELP THEM GET 17:43 THEIR SUPPLIES AND THEIR BOOKS AND SO ON. 17:46 SO THEY ARE HAVING A GREAT TIME. 17:49 A CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM. 17:50 A LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM. 17:55 NOW, THIS LADY IN THE RED AND WHITE SARI IS ONE OF THE CHILD LITERACY CENTER INSTRUCTORS. 18:01 SHE IS GIVING BIBLE STUDIES TO THESE ADULTS. 18:06 THREE OF THESE ADULTS HAVE NOW BEEN BAPTIZED. 18:08 PRAISE THE LORD. 18:09 SO IN THIS AREA, WHAT IS THE MAIN RELIGION IN NEPAL, NORTHERN INDIA AND NEPAL? 18:11 WELL, WHERE THESE PEOPLE ARE WORKING THE MAIN RELIGION IS HINDUISM. 18:20 HINDUISM, YES IN NEPAL LARGELY HINDU QUITE A LARGE POPULATION 18:27 OF BUDDHISTS AND A FEW MUSLIMS. 18:29 NORTHERN INDIA THERE IS A LARGE MUSLIM POPULATION TOO BUT WONDERFUL PEOPLE. 18:34 YOU KNOW, WE HEAR ABOUT THE TERRORIST ACTIVITIES AND ALL THAT SORT OF STUFF THOSE ARE 18:40 RADICALS, THOSE ARE NOT COMMON ORDINARY PEOPLE WHO LOVE THEIR CHILDREN, TAKE CARE OF THEM. 18:47 I WANT TO TELL YOU A LITTLE STORY. 18:51 WE TRAVEL OVER 700 MILES TO COME HERE TO GOSPEL OUTREACH AND ON THE WAY WE STAY OVER 18:58 NIGHT AND WE STOPPED AT A MOTEL ALONG THE WAY AND WE FOUND THE MOTEL WAS OPERATED 19:07 BY A LOVELY COUPLE FROM INDIA. 19:10 WOW. 19:11 NOW YOU FIND THAT A LOT OF PLACES. 19:13 SURE. 19:15 INDIAN FOLK RUNNING MOTELS AND DOING A GOOD JOB. 19:16 ANYWAY, I DISCOVERED THAT THEY CAME FROM THE SAME TOWN IN NORTHERN INDIA WHERE WE FIRST 19:19 STARTED OUR WORK IN INDIA. 19:25 SO, WE SPOKE TO THEM IN THEIR LANGUAGE, I DID ANYWAY, AND WE JUST HAD A WONDERFUL VISIT. 19:33 THEY GAVE US A VERY NICE ROOM AND THEN I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, 19:38 I THINK THAT LADY READS THE HINDI LANGUAGE. 19:42 SO, I DUG OUT MY HINDI BIBLE AND I TOOK IT DOWN TO THE RECEPTION DESK AND I ASKED THE 19:51 HUSBAND AND WIFE IF THEY READ HINDI, WELL HE DIDN'T BECAUSE HE LEFT INDIA WHEN HE WAS SIX 19:57 YEARS OLD BUT SHE HAD COME ABOUT THE TIME OF THEIR MARRIAGE AND SO ON AND SO SHE 20:03 HAD GROWN UP IN INDIA AND I ASKED BOTH OF THEM IF THEY KNEW HINDI, 20:10 WELL HE DIDN'T BUT SHE DID. 20:14 SO, I ASKED HER HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE HOLY BIBLE IN THE HINDI LANGUAGE. 20:17 SHE SAID NO, I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT. 20:20 SO I POINTED OUT A FEW THINGS IN THE BIBLE TO HER AND SHE SAID, "MAY I HAVE THIS BIBLE?" 20:25 WELL, I ONLY HAD ONE HINDI BIBLE WITH ME BUT I SAID YES, YOU CAN HAVE IT. 20:33 SO, THEN HE OPENED THE DESK DRAWER AND HE HAD AN ENGLISH BIBLE THERE, REALLY, SOMEBODY 20:38 HAD GIVEN HIM AN ENGLISH BIBLE. 20:43 YOU KNOW WHAT JAMES, ONLY GOD KNOWS IF YOU AND YOUR WIFE SERVED IN INDIA FOR ALL THOSE 20:49 YEARS FOR JUST THAT ONE COUPLE IN AMERICA. 20:51 WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WE HAD A GOOD NIGHTS REST IN THE MORNING WE WERE CHECKING 20:57 OUT AND THE LADY WAS READING THE HINDI BIBLE. 21:02 AFTER WE FINISHED CHECKING OUT, SHE HANDED US AN ENVELOPE SO SHE SAID HERE IS A GIFT FOR 21:04 THE CHILD LITERACY CENTERS. 21:12 OH, I'M GOING TO GET ALL TEARY. 21:13 WELL, I AM. 21:15 ANYWAY. 21:16 ISN'T THAT SOMETHING? 21:18 SO, WE WENT TO THE CAR AND I SAID TO JANICE PLEASE OPEN THAT ENVELOPE RIGHT AWAY. 21:27 SHE OPENED IT AND THERE WAS CASH $100 BILL AND A $1 BILL. 21:34 REALLY. 21:37 NOW WHY THE ONE DOLLAR BILL? 21:39 TELL ME. 21:40 YOU SEE, IN INDIA, NEPAL AND OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD OVER THERE THEY WOULD LIKE VERY 21:46 MUCH TO GIVE A LITTLE EXTRA BUT THEY REALLY ONLY AFFORD $100 BUT THEY WILL GIVE $101 21:56 TO INDICATE THAT THEY WOULD REALLY LIKE TO GIVE MORE. 21:59 ISN'T THAT SOMETHING, SO SHE FROM HER CULTURE. 22:02 YES. 22:05 ISN'T THAT, OH MY, WOW.THAT IS VERY AMUSING. 22:08 SO, YOU KNOW IF THEY ARE GOING TO GIVE A GIFT OF $10 THEY WILL MAKE IT $11. 22:13 YOU KNOW WHAT; GOD IS GOING TO DO EVEN BIGGER THINGS 22:16 WITH THAT DOLLAR THAN HE IS WITH THE $100. 22:18 OH YES, THAT IS RIGHT YOU KNOW I THINK IF A LADY LIKE THAT, A COUPLE LIKE THAT, WHO REALLY 22:23 ARE JUST MAYBE BEGINNING TO LEARN ABOUT JESUS, BEGINNING TO READ THE BIBLE IF THEY WILL 22:31 DO THAT, WHAT ABOUT THOSE OF US WHO ARE CHRISTIANS? 22:39 OR MAYBE WATCHING THIS PROGRAM ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO DON'T REALLY KNOW ABOUT THE LORD 22:42 JESUS OR HAVEN'T MADE A GREAT COMMITMENT TO HIM BUT LOVE THE CHILDREN OF INDIA, NEPAL MAYBE 22:48 YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE A SPECIAL GIFT TO SUPPORT THOSE CHILD LITERACY CENTERS AND YOU HAVE 22:55 THE INFORMATION ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH, WE WILL MAKE SURE IF YOU SEND A GIFT FOR CHILD 23:00 LITERACY CENTERS THAT IT WILL BE USED FOR THE CHILDREN OF INDIA AND NEPAL. 23:07 IF WE COULD BE SO MOVED AS THE LADY AT THE HOTEL AND I HOPE JAMES, I HOPE THAT YOUR CAR 23:13 FINDS YOUR WAY BACK TO THAT HOTEL. 23:16 THAT'S ONE REASON WHY WE ARE DOING THIS PROGRAM RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WE WANT TO LEAVE ON 23:21 TIME SO THAT WE CAN SPEND THE NIGHT THERE AGAIN. 23:23 I THINK THAT SOUNDS ABOSULTELY WONDERFUL. 23:25 NOW WE DON'T HAVE VERY MUCH TIME LEFT BUT I WANT TO SHOW YOU ANOTHER COUPLE PICTURES. 23:27 PLEASE DO. 23:28 YES. 23:30 THIS IS A PICTURE OF A BAPTISM IN NEPAL THAT TOOK
