03:03 NO, IT IS THE HOME OF A CHURCH MEMBER IN A NEARBY TOWN. 03:08 HE IS AN INSPIRING LOOKING YOUNG MAN. 03:11 HE IS A VERY BUSY YOUNG MAN REACHING OUT TO THE PEOPLE AROUND. 03:16 THIS IS THE OWNER, THE LADY IN THE CENTER, IS THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE AND THAT IS THE 03:24 GOSPEL OUTREACH COORDINATOR ON THE LEFT AND THE MISSION TREASURER ON THE RIGHT. 03:29 THEY ALL SUPPORT GOSPEL OUTREACH VERY STRONGLY 03:33 AND WE ARE JUST VERY HAPPY FOR THEIR COOPERATION. 03:37 THIS MAN WHEN I FIRST SAW HIM A YEAR OR SO AGO, HE HAD JUST HAD A STROKE. 03:45 REALLY. 03:46 AND HE COULD HARDLY EVEN SIT UP AND HE HIS MOUTH WAS DROOPING VERY BADLY. 03:51 HE WAS VERY SELF CONSCIOUS. 03:53 HE KEPT IT COVERED SO WE DIDN'T SEE IT VERY MUCH BUT HE HAS MADE A LOT OF PROGRESS NOT 03:59 ONLY PHYSICALLY BUT ALSO SPIRITUALLY. 04:02 THE GROUP THERE MEETS IN HIS HOME SO IT IS A HOME CHURCH 04:07 AND HE IS A MAJOR PART OF THAT. 04:09 THOSE ARE HIS CHILDREN AND WIFE? 04:11 I THINK SO, I'M NOT POSITIVE ON THAT. 04:15 BUT HE HAS BEEN AN INSPIRATION, WHY YES, TO MANY THERE BECAUSE OF HIS 04:20 DETERMINATION. 04:22 THESE ARE SOME THAT MET WITH US THAT DAY, IT WAS NOT ON SABBATH SO THIS WAS JUST A 04:25 GROUP THAT GOT TOGETHER WHEN THEY SAW THE WHITE MAN COME TO TOWN. 04:31 SO THIS IS A PART OF THE GROUP THAT WORSHIPS IN THAT HOME. 04:37 PART OF THE WORK OF SOUTH CENTRAL LUZON IS OVER ON THE ISLAND OF MINDORO. 04:43 THERE IS A LOT OF WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE ON MINDORO AND THERE ARE SEVERAL GROUPS 04:47 WORKING OVER THERE. 04:47 SO HERE WE ARE ON A FERRY HEADING OUT TOWARDS 04:51 MINDORO LOOKING OFF THE BACK OF THE FERRY. 04:56 NO, THAT IS NOT THE FERRY WE WERE ON, OH I'M GLAD, THIS ONE WAS IN PORT AT ABRA DE ILOG 05:03 WHEN A TYPHOON HIT AND IT IS SITTING ON THE BOTTOM. 05:08 SO, IS THAT KIND OF A TYPICAL FERRY? 05:10 YES, THIS IS THE ONE WE'VE TRAVELED ON AND THEY ARE QUITE, FAIRLY LARGE BOATS AS 05:19 YOU SEE, BUSES, THEY HAVE SEVERAL BUSES AND TRUCKS GO ACROSS ON THAT SO IT IS-WHAT'S 05:24 THE DISTANCE OVER TO MINDORO? 05:27 OH, I DON'T KNOW IT TAKES ABOUT THREE HOURS. 05:31 WOW. 05:32 SO IT IS SOME DISTANCE AND THIS IS WHAT YOU WOULD CALL A PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA. 05:38 O.K. 05:40 THIS IS THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER AND HIS WIFE THAT ARE WORKING THERE ON MINDORO, 05:48 ROGER GALICIA. 05:51 WHEN HE FIRST WENT TO MINDORO, THERE WAS A CHURCH THERE IN ABRA DE ILOG THAT HAD WELL, 05:59 THEY'D LOST THEIR SHEPHERD AND SO IT FELL APART. 06:03 AND THE CHURCH WAS ACTUALLY BEING USED FOR KEEPING SHEEP AND DRUNKARDS WOULD SLEEP OFF 06:09 THEIR DRUNK OVER NIGHT BUT THERE WAS ONE LADY WHO PRAYED, PRAYED AND PRAYED. 06:14 SHE PRAYED FOR FIVE YEARS AND FINALLY WHEN ROGER CAME HE CLEANED UP THE CHURCH AND NOW 06:20 THEY ARE HAVING SERVICES HERE AGAIN. 06:21 SO, HE IS DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB THERE. 06:24 HIS WIFE IS A SCHOOL TEACHER. 06:26 THERE IS AN ADVENTIST CHURCH NEARBY AND SHE TEACHES IN THE SCHOOL THERE. 06:31 I SAY NEARBY IT IS ABOUT MAYBE TEN KILOMETERS DOWN THE ROAD. 06:38 THEN THIS IS THE SCHOOL THAT SHE TEACHES IN AND NOTICE THEY ALL WEAR UNIFORMS AND THEY ARE 06:45 VERY WELL DISCIPLINED. 06:46 YOU WALK IN AND THEY ALL STAND AND SAY, "GOOD MORNING, VISITORS". 06:50 IS THAT RIGHT? 06:52 DARLING CHILDREN I CAN SEE THAT. 06:53 THIS IS THE CHURCH WHERE THAT CHURCH SCHOOL IS AND THE DISTRICT PASTOR AND HIS WIFE. 06:57 THE WIFE IS THE OTHER TEACHER IN THE SCHOOL. 07:01 NOW THAT'S AN IMPRESSIVE BUILDING. 07:02 IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION. 07:04 IT IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION BUT THAT IS THE DESIGN THAT THE NORTH PHILIPPINE UNION 07:11 WANTS ALL OF THEIR CHURCHES TO HAVE SO THAT THEY ALL LOOK ALIKE, THEY CAN BE IDENTIFIED. 07:16 YOU SEE THERE IS A BIG CHURCH THERE CALLED IGLESIA NI CRISTO AND ALL THEIR CHURCHES ARE THE 07:21 SAME ARCHITECTURAL STRUCTURE AND SO THEY WANT A UNIQUE ADVENTIST DESIGN, RIGHT. 07:27 SO THAT WHEN YOU SEE A CHURCH BUILDING YOU KNOW THIS IS A SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH. 07:31 HOW MANY BELIEVERS GATHER IN THAT CHURCH? 07:32 RIGHT NOW IT IS NOT FULL I THINK, I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW MANY THEY HAVE BUT THEY SAY IT 07:37 IS NOT FULL BUT THEY EXPECT TO FILL IT. 07:40 NEARBY THEY HAVE ANOTHER CHURCH THAT IS BEING BUILT FOR THE MANGYAN TRIBE AND I THINK 07:49 WE TALKED ABOUT THAT BEFORE. 07:50 YES. 07:51 NOW, WE HAVE MOVED ON TO THE ISLAND OF PALAWAN. 07:55 PALAWAN IS THE MOST PRISTINE OF ALL OF THE ISLANDS IN THE PHILIPPINES. 07:59 IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED THE LEAST BY PEOPLE BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE AND THERE IS A 08:07 GREAT OPENING AND NEED FOR THE GOSPEL TO REACH OUT. 08:11 IT IS ALWAYS A PLEASURE WHEN I ARRIVE, BECAUSE THEY USUALLY HAVE A STREAMER OUT THERE 08:15 WELCOMING AS I COME IN OFF THE AIRPLANE. 08:18 THESE ARE THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 08:21 WELL, I'M IMPRESSED AND I'M SORRY I HAVEN'T CALLED YOU DOCTOR FRED WEBB. 08:25 WELL, MY FRIENDS CALL ME FRED. 08:28 O.K. 08:29 I'M GLAD I GET INCLUDED THAT WAY. 08:32 THE PHILIPPINOS LIKE TO GIVE TITLES TO EVERYONE AND SINCE I HAD A DOCTORATE DEGREE, THEY 08:39 INSIST ON CALLING ME DR. WEBB. 08:42 O.K. 08:43 BUT THAT'S NOT A BIG DEAL FOR ME. 08:46 I GOT MY DOCTORATE LATE IN LIFE SO IT TOOK A WHILE TO EVEN GET USED TO IT. 08:52 BUT THEY ALWAYS WELCOME ME THERE TO THE AIRPORT 08:54 AND THEN TAKE ME IN TO THE MISSION STATION. 08:57 THESE ARE THE WORKERS LINED UP AGAIN. 08:59 THEY ARE A VERY ACTIVE GROUP. 09:00 THOSE ARE ALL YOUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS IN THAT AREA? 09:05 YES, THERE WAS ONE MISSING BECAUSE HE WAS IN A VERY DISTANT ISLAND THAT IT WOULD 09:11 TAKE HIM TWO DAYS TO GET HOME. 09:13 OH MY. 09:14 SO, WE DIDN'T GET TO SEE HIM BUT THESE ARE THE ACTIVE WORKERS THERE AND DOING AN 09:21 EXCELLENT JOB. 09:24 THIS IS THE CHURCH IN AN AREA WHERE THE WELL, THE CHURCH HAS FALLEN APART. 09:35 OH? 09:36 AND ONE OF THE CHURCH MEMBERS ACTUALLY COMMITTED MURDER AND THEY FELL INTO DISREPUTE IN 09:44 THE COMMUNITY AND THE CHURCH BASICALLY DISAPPEARED. 09:49 THERE WAS STILL A BUILDING THERE BUT NO PEOPLE. 09:52 SO, A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER WAS ASSIGNED 09:54 TO GO THERE TO TRY TO REHABILITATE THAT CHURCH. 09:58 WHAT YOU ARE EMPHASIZING FOR US HERE FRED IS THE FACT THAT NOT ONLY DOES GOSPEL OUTREACH 10:03 CREATE NEW ENVIRONMENTS FOR BELIEVERS BUT THEY RESTORE A SITUATION LIKE YOU JUST WERE 10:06 DESCRIBING TO US, ISN'T THAT JUST AS IMPORTANT? 10:10 IT IS PROBABLY MORE IMPORTANT BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF INVESTMENT 10:15 THERE THAT NEEDS TO BE REACTIVATED. 10:17 THAT'S RIGHT. 10:19 THESE GENTLEMEN, OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER HE HAD ONLY WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE ABOUT 10:24 THREE MONTHS AT THE TIME I VISITED 10:28 BUT HE DID HAVE A GROUP OF WORKERS THAT COME TOGETHER. 10:32 IS THIS HE? 10:34 THIS IS HE MARCIAL LEANO. 10:37 MY, WHAT A HANDSOME, HANDSOME YOUNG MAN. 10:40 OH YES. 10:41 WE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH SHOULD BE VERY PROUD TO HAVE THAT KIND OF PERSON REPRESENTING 10:46 THE KINGDOM AND REPRESENTING GOSPEL OUTREACH. 10:48 HE IS A COLLEGE GRADUATE, THEOLOGY GRADUATE. 10:51 WOW, THAT'S WONDERFUL. 10:52 PROBABLY ON A TRACK TO ONE DAY BECOMING AN ORDAINED MINISTER. 10:55 I'M SURE HE WILL. 10:56 NOT ALL ARE OF THAT CALIBER. 10:59 THIS ONE HERE IS ANOTHER ONE OF GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS TELLING A STORY AND HE HAD 11:05 EVERYONE'S ATTENTION. 11:06 I MEAN HE WAS PUTTING SOUND EFFECTS AND ACTIONS AND OH BOY, 11:10 HE HAD EVERYONE'S ATTENTION. 11:12 NOW, ARE THEIR PRESENTATIONS, THEIR COMMUNICATION IN A LOCAL DIALECT?

11:30 THROUGH HIS ACTIONS AND HIS NOISE, HIS SOUNDS, I KNEW WHAT HE WAS SAYING. 11:36 THAT'S FASCINATING. 11:37 THIS IS THE CHURCH THAT IS STANDING THERE AND YOU CAN SEE THERE IS A FAIRLY SIZABLE 11:44 CONGREGATION THAT HAS COME TOGETHER. 11:48 IT PROBABLY IS A CIRCUMSTANCE WHERE THEY WERE JUST WAITING FOR LEADERSHIP. 11:51 YES. 11:52 THEY WANTED SOMEBODY TO REIGNITE THEIR FELLOWSHIP. 11:56 RIGHT. 11:58 SO WE HAVE COME IN THERE AND WITH SOME HELP OF THESE YOUNG LADIES IN THIS PICTURE GO TO A 12:03 LOCAL UNIVERSITY. 12:04 THEY ARE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS AND THEY HAVE PICKED UP THE IDEA AND THEY 12:08 ARE OUT THERE WORKING WITH THE OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER 12:14 AND ARE DOING THEIR PART TO REVIVE THE CHURCH. 12:17 FRED, I THINK THIS IS A GOOD TIME FOR ME TO JUST INTERRUPT A LITTLE BIT AND ALERT OUR 12:23 VIEWERS TO THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM THAT WHAT YOU ARE SEEING AND THE STORY YOU ARE 12:29 HEARING FRED WEBB SHARE WITH US, IS WHAT HAPPENS AS A RESULT OF THE INVESTMENTS WE 12:36 MAKE IN GOSPEL OUTREACH. 12:38 THE DOLLARS GO TO FIND PEOPLE WHO FIND OTHER PEOPLE FOR THE GROWTH OF THE KINGDOM IN THESE 12:47 SOMETIMES REMOTE PLACES BUT AS FRED USED THE WORD A LITTLE BIT AGO, A PRISTINE AREA WHERE 12:53 MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE NOT GONE YET AND CERTAINLY IN PURSUIT OF THE GOSPEL 12:58 COMMISSION WE OUGHT TO BE GOING THERE. 13:01 SO THIS IS AN ILLUSTRATION, THESE ARE STORIES OF WHAT HAPPENED TO THE INVESTMENT YOU 13:06 MAKE IN GOSPEL OUTREACH. 13:08 RIGHT THERE ON THE SCREEN THE ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER, THE EMAIL ADDRESS, THE WEB ADDRESS 13:11 EVEN THE CANADA ADDRESS. 13:14 ALL OF IT APPEARS RIGHT THERE. 13:15 ALL OF IT APPEARS RIGHT THERE AND IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN IN TOUCH WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH I 13:18 WANT TO USE THIS SECOND TO URGE YOU TO DO SO. 13:22 FRED, THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THIS STORY THAT YOU ARE TELLING US. 13:25 LET'S GO ON I AM ANXIOUS TO HEAR MORE. 13:28 LET'S CONTINUE ON WE ARE STILL IN THE SAME PLACE. 13:32 THESE ARE THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS PRESENTING SPECIAL MUSIC. 13:33 YOU KNOW THEY HAVE TO DO A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS AND ONE OF THINGS THEY DO IS SING. 13:36 THEY SING TOGETHER. 13:39 WHEN I COME THEY USUALLY ALL COME TOGETHER AND THEN WE SPEND A SABBATH TOGETHER 13:43 SOMEWHERE AND IT IS A PLEASURE. 13:46 HAVE THEY CREATED THEIR OWN GOSPEL SONGS, SPIRITUAL HYMNS AND SO FORTH OR DO YOU 13:54 RECOGNIZE SOME OF THEM AS FROM THE WEST?

17:11 IT IS ON A SEPARATE ISLAND ONLY A FEW METERS AWAY FROM CAGAYANCILLO, 17:14 THIS IS THE ISLAND OF NUSA. 17:16 BUT IT IS IN PROGRESS AND THERE IS A CHURCH GROUP THERE AS WELL. 17:21 OH, LOOK AT THAT. 17:23 LARGE NUMBERS OF BAPTISMS OUT IN THE OCEAN; IT IS A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT TO SEE ALL 17:28 THESE PEOPLE BEING BAPTIZED. 17:33 SOME INTERESTING FORMATIONS OF SOME OF THE ISLANDS AROUND THERE. 17:37 YOU KNOW PHILIPPINES IS MADE UP OF 7105 ISLANDS 17:42 AND I WONDER DO THEY COUNT THESE ISLANDS?
