[OPENING MUSIC]
00:00:00.56\00:00:22.76
WELCOME TO "ADVENTURES IN
MISSIONS" AT GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:00:22.76\00:00:25.46
I'M JULIE SANDERS KEYMER AND I'M
SO GLAD THAT YOU HAVE JOINED US.
00:00:25.46\00:00:28.70
I HOPE YOU HAVE YOUR PASSPORT
BECAUSE WE'RE GOING ON A TRIP
00:00:28.70\00:00:33.46
WITH JOHN DUROE. JOHN, WELCOME
TO "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS."
00:00:33.46\00:00:35.26
THANK YOU.
00:00:35.26\00:00:36.53
TELL ME, YOU USUALLY GO ON
A TRIP AND YOU USUALLY GO IN
00:00:36.53\00:00:41.30
FEBRUARY. WHERE
DO YOU GO AND WHY?
00:00:41.30\00:00:43.73
WELL, I GO IN FEBRUARY BECAUSE
I LIVE IN GREENEVILLE, TENNESSEE
00:00:43.73\00:00:49.30
AND IT GETS RATHER COLD IN
FEBRUARY AND FEBRUARY IS A
BEAUTIFUL MONTH IN BANGLADESH.
00:00:49.30\00:00:54.83
JANUARY CAN BE A LITTLE COLD.
00:00:54.83\00:00:56.90
MARCH IS SUDDENLY TOO
HOT BUT FEBRUARY IS THE IDEAL
00:00:56.90\00:01:02.60
TEMPERATURE. AND WHY
DO YOU GO TO BANGLADESH?
00:01:02.60\00:01:05.20
I REPRESENT GOSPEL OUTREACH
THERE SO I GO TO CHECK ON ALL
OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS.
00:01:05.20\00:01:11.26
ALSO IN FEBRUARY
THERE IS PLENTY OF FOOD.
00:01:14.10\00:01:18.50
THE STREETS ARE FILLED WITH
VEGETABLES IN FEBRUARY AND THERE
00:01:18.50\00:01:24.73
IS PLENTY TO EAT. TELL US A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT BANGLADESH AND
00:01:24.73\00:01:27.63
INDIA. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE
DIFFERENCES AND WHAT ARE SOME OF
00:01:27.63\00:01:31.16
THE SIMILARITIES. ACTUALLY
BANGLADESH AND PAKISTAN AND
INDIA WAS ALL ONE COUNTRY TO
00:01:31.16\00:01:36.26
BEGIN WITH. IT WAS ALL INDIA.
00:01:36.26\00:01:37.86
THEN CAME PARTITION AND THEY GOT
BANGLADESH AND PAKISTAN, THAT
WAS THE MUSLIM COUNTRY,
00:01:37.86\00:01:43.70
THEN THEY FINALLY SEPARATED THEM
AND BANGLADESH BECAME A COUNTRY
00:01:45.83\00:01:51.03
ALL BY ITSELF. HOW IS CLIMATE
CHANGE AFFECTING BANGLADESH?
00:01:51.03\00:01:54.36
WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT
IT'S LIKE IN AMERICA.
00:01:54.36\00:01:56.23
YOU CAN NEVER TELL WHAT THE
WEATHER IS GOING TO BE LIKE THE
00:01:56.23\00:01:59.46
NEXT MINUTE. IT'S LIKE
THAT IN BANGLADESH AS WELL.
00:01:59.46\00:02:03.03
BUT THEY ARE MUCH MORE PRONE
TO FLOODING AND BAD WEATHER.
00:02:03.03\00:02:06.63
IF THEY HAVE FLOODS IN INDIA
WHEN ALL OF THE RIVERS AND THE
DAMS BUILD UP THEY RELEASE
00:02:06.63\00:02:13.63
THAT WATER DOWN
THROUGH BANGLADESH.
00:02:13.63\00:02:16.33
THEY DON'T WORRY WHETHER IT
IS GOING TO FLOOD BANGLADESH.
00:02:16.33\00:02:18.80
IT COMES DOWN THROUGH BANGLADESH
AND IT'S NOT VERY GOOD.
00:02:18.80\00:02:23.36
I WAS THERE WHEN I WAS A STUDENT
MISSIONARY AND I REMEMBER THE
00:02:23.36\00:02:27.80
PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THE BOATS
THAT WOULD HAVE TO COME IN AND
00:02:27.80\00:02:30.90
THE PEOPLE. IT WAS UNREAL TO
EVEN IMAGINE AND I DIDN'T
EXPERIENCE IT BECAUSE I WASN'T
00:02:30.90\00:02:36.33
THERE IN THE FLOODING.
00:02:36.33\00:02:37.33
I CAN ONLY
IMAGINE WHAT IT'S LIKE.
00:02:37.33\00:02:39.00
IN THE WORST FLOOD MORE THAN
TWO THIRDS OF THE COUNTRY WAS
00:02:39.00\00:02:45.20
COVERED IN WATER. THEY LOST MORE
THAN SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND HOUSES
00:02:45.20\00:02:49.73
IN THAT FLOOD.
SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND.
00:02:49.73\00:02:51.10
AND SIX THOUSAND MILES
OF ROAD WAS WASHED AWAY.
00:02:51.10\00:02:55.10
SO THAT'S THE KIND OF
DEVASTATION THAT COMES WHEN BAD
WEATHER HITS BANGLADESH.
00:02:55.10\00:02:59.50
YES, THAT'S THE
WORD THAT CAME TO MIND.
00:02:59.50\00:03:01.63
TELL ME HOW GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORK IS GOING IN BANGLADESH.
00:03:01.63\00:03:05.93
TO DO THAT I THINK I'M GOING TO
SHOW YOU A VIDEO THAT WILL SHOW
YOU A FEW OF OUR GOSPEL
00:03:05.93\00:03:10.56
OUTREACH WORKERS.
00:03:10.56\00:03:11.56
GREAT, I HAVE MY PASSPORT!
00:03:11.56\00:03:13.56
I WAS SO UPSET THE NEXT
MORNING TO HEAR THE SAD NEWS.
00:03:13.56\00:03:17.30
A TRUMPET PLAYER WHO HAD BEEN SO
FULL OF LIFE WAS FOUND DEAD IN
HIS BED THE NEXT MORNING.
00:03:17.30\00:03:23.63
LIFE CAN BE SO UNCERTAIN.
00:03:23.63\00:03:26.50
WHAT A MAGNIFICENT WELCOME
WE HAD RECEIVED IN THIS VILLAGE.
00:03:26.50\00:03:31.33
THE LADIES HAD SO MUCH FUN AND
THE FOOT WASHING FELT SO GOOD.
00:03:31.33\00:03:37.36
THIS IS THE GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKER IN THE VILLAGE BUT HE IS
ALSO WORKING IN THE
00:03:39.56\00:03:45.63
SURROUNDING VILLAGES.
00:03:50.50\00:03:52.03
HE HAD BAPTIZED 37 NEW MEMBERS
LAST YEAR AND TOLD ME OF ANOTHER
00:03:52.03\00:03:57.93
VILLAGE WHERE 30 PEOPLE
ARE ALMOST READY FOR BAPTISM.
00:04:02.83\00:04:06.93
I VISITED THE GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKER IN THIS VILLAGE AND
WATCHED HIM CONDUCTING SPECIAL
00:04:06.93\00:04:13.00
MEN'S MEETINGS AND
PRAYING FOR THE SICK.
00:04:15.16\00:04:21.73
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER JOSEPH
WORKS IN A VILLAGE WHERE 28 HAVE
BEEN BAPTIZED IN THE LAST
00:04:21.73\00:04:27.80
TWO YEARS.
00:04:30.53\00:04:32.06
SOME VILLAGERS COMPLAINED TO THE
VILLAGE CHAIRMAN THAT JOSEPH WAS
00:04:32.06\00:04:38.46
GIVING MONEY TO
MAKE PEOPLE CHRISTIANS.
00:04:38.46\00:04:40.56
HE WAS BROUGHT
BEFORE THE COUNCIL.
00:04:40.56\00:04:42.30
HE DENIED THE CHARGES AND SAID
"I'M JUST SHARING WHAT I'VE
LEARNED FROM THE BIBLE.
00:04:42.30\00:04:48.76
WE SHOULD READ THE BIBLE AS WELL
AS THE OTHER HOLY BOOKS AND
PEOPLE SHOULD MAKE THEIR
00:04:48.76\00:04:53.36
OWN DECISION."
00:04:53.36\00:04:54.96
THE COUNCIL AGREED WITH JOSEPH
AND THE CHAIRMAN SAID THAT IT
WAS ALRIGHT FOR JOSEPH TO
00:04:54.96\00:05:00.86
PREACH.
00:05:06.70\00:05:08.16
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER MANINDRA
WAS LOCKED OUT OF HIS CHURCH IN
00:05:08.16\00:05:14.30
THIS VILLAGE. HIS OWN BROTHER
HAD HIM ARRESTED BY THE POLICE.
00:05:14.30\00:05:18.80
THE POLICE WERE VERY SYMPATHETIC
AND THEY HELPED HIM REMOVE THE
00:05:18.80\00:05:25.83
TROUBLE MAKERS. THEN
SOMETHING HAPPENED THAT CHANGED
00:05:25.83\00:05:30.96
EVERYTHING. THE BROTHER'S WIFE
JUST WALKED OUT AND LEFT HIM
WITH FIVE CHILDREN.
00:05:30.96\00:05:38.10
MANINDRA TALKED WITH HIS
BROTHER, TRIED TO COMFORT HIM.
00:05:38.10\00:05:42.80
HE GOT THE CHILDREN ENROLLED IN
THE ADVENTIST BOARDING SCHOOL.
00:05:42.80\00:05:48.86
IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE BUT NOW HIS
BROTHER IS BAPTIZED AND IS A
FAITHFUL CHURCH MEMBER.
00:05:52.06\00:05:59.33
SO MANY WORKERS IN THE VILLAGES
OF BANGLADESH SHARING THE GOOD
00:05:59.33\00:06:05.46
NEWS OF SALVATION. SO MANY
PLACES WHERE THEY NEED OUR HELP.
00:06:07.76\00:06:11.80
SO MANY REASONS TO REJOICE.
00:06:11.80\00:06:15.06
WHAT A CHURCH SERVICE.
00:06:15.06\00:06:20.90
I LOVE THAT.
00:06:20.90\00:06:22.20
WHAT JOY THE PEOPLE HAD JOHN.
00:06:22.20\00:06:24.76
IT'S TRAGIC ABOUT THAT MAN
WHO WAS PLAYING THE TRUMPET.
00:06:24.76\00:06:29.03
BLESS HIS HEART.
00:06:29.03\00:06:30.30
IN THE MORNING I JUST GOT
NEWS THAT HE HAD DIED DURING THE
00:06:30.30\00:06:36.30
NIGHT. I THINK HE HAD HAD
TROUBLE BREATHING OR SOMETHING
00:06:36.30\00:06:41.46
AND HE DIED. THAT JUST SHOWS HOW
UNCERTAIN LIFE IS IN BANGLADESH.
00:06:41.46\00:06:45.30
PEOPLE GET A FEVER AND
THEY DIE AND PEOPLE ACCEPT IT.
00:06:45.30\00:06:50.30
WHAT IS THE LIFE EXPECTANCY?
00:06:50.30\00:06:52.70
I THINK IT'S ABOUT 62.
00:06:52.70\00:06:55.60
WE NOTICED THERE ARE
A LOT OF BRICK CHURCHES.
00:06:55.60\00:07:01.20
TELL US ABOUT THOSE CHURCHES.
00:07:01.20\00:07:04.23
WE HAD A VERY KIND AMERICAN
CHURCH MEMBER WHO DECIDED TO
GIVE MONEY TO BUILD CHURCHES
00:07:04.23\00:07:10.30
IN BANGLADESH AND THEY BUILT
ABOUT 200 NEW CHURCH WITH A
SCHOOL ROOM AS WELL.
00:07:12.43\00:07:19.43
WE REALLY APPRECIATED THAT.
00:07:19.43\00:07:21.60
THAT'S A HUGE BLESSING.
00:07:21.60\00:07:23.06
IN A MUSLIM STATE, HOW ARE
THEY VIEWING CHRISTIANITY IN
00:07:23.06\00:07:29.10
BANGLADESH? THEY WILL ACCEPT
CHRISTIANITY BUT THEY DON'T LIKE
THE IDEA THAT A MUSLIM IS GOING
00:07:32.86\00:07:40.03
TO CHANGE HIS RELIGION
AND BECOME A CHRISTIAN.
00:07:40.03\00:07:43.96
THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
00:07:43.96\00:07:45.56
BUT YOU SAW THAT WORKER
WHO WAS IN THE VILLAGE THERE.
00:07:45.56\00:07:49.23
THEY COMPLAINED
HE WAS PREACHING.
00:07:49.23\00:07:53.96
HE SAID MUSLIMS HAVE HOLY BOOKS.
00:07:53.96\00:07:57.86
THEY HAVE THE KORAN, THEY HAVE
THE TORAH, THEY HAVE THE INJIL.
00:07:57.86\00:08:01.63
THERE ARE HOLY BOOKS THAT THEY
WILL ACCEPT SO HE SAID WHY
SHOULDN'T WE TEACH FROM ALL OF
00:08:01.63\00:08:07.70
THESE BOOKS NOT JUST THE KORAN.
00:08:10.16\00:08:12.10
LET'S TEACH FROM
ALL THE HOLY BOOKS.
00:08:12.10\00:08:14.00
LET'S MAKE SURE THAT
WE GET ALL THE TRUTH.
00:08:14.00\00:08:16.30
SO A LITTLE STUDY IN SEMANTICS.
00:08:16.30\00:08:20.33
WELL JOHN, IT'S SO NEAT TO BE
ABLE TO SEE THROUGH YOUR EYES
WHAT YOU SAW ON YOUR TRIP TO
00:08:20.33\00:08:26.43
VISIT THE GOSPEL

JOHN, WHERE ARE WE
GOING NEXT IN BANGLADESH.
00:10:11.06\00:10:12.10
WE'RE GOING TO THE SOUTH
EASTERN PART OF BANGLADESH.
00:10:12.10\00:10:16.76
WE'RE GOING TOWARDS
THE CHITTAGONG HILLS.
00:10:16.76\00:10:22.73
THAT'S NEAR THE BORDER WITH
MYANMAR SO YOU WILL NOTICE THE
PEOPLE ARE LOOKING A LITTLE
00:10:22.73\00:10:28.80
DIFFERENT DOWN THERE.
00:10:31.86\00:10:34.56
EARLY ONE MORNING WE GO TO SEE
ONE OF OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS IN THIS VILLAGE.
00:10:34.56\00:10:39.73
WE WERE HEADING INTO THE
CHITTAGONG HILLS ON THE BORDER
WITH MYANMAR BUT STILL IN
00:10:39.73\00:10:45.80
BANGLADESH.
00:10:52.33\00:10:53.86
IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL MORNING AND
WE STOPPED TO WATCH SOME VERY
INTERESTING FISHING.
00:10:53.86\00:11:00.06
IT NEEDED A VERY SPECIAL
TECHNIQUE BUT AT LEAST IT WAS
00:11:00.06\00:11:05.10
FUN. THE ROAD WASN'T SO
GOOD BUT IT WAS IMPROVING.
00:11:05.10\00:11:11.96
EVERYONE WAS UP FOR THEIR
MORNING BATH WHEN WE ARRIVED AT
00:11:11.96\00:11:18.00
THE VILLAGE. I WAS SURPRISED
TO SEE A BRAND NEW CHURCH.
00:11:18.00\00:11:21.13
FUNDS FROM KOREA AND A DENTIST
DR. MASALA MADE THAT POSSIBLE.
00:11:21.13\00:11:27.36
BUT WE HADN'T COME TO SEE
THE CHURCH, WE HAD COME TO SEE A
00:11:27.36\00:11:32.56
BAPTISM. BINOT TRIPURA WAS
PREPARING 12 PEOPLE FOR BAPTISM
AND FOUR WERE TO BE BAPTIZED
00:11:32.56\00:11:38.63
TODAY. THEY TOOK THEIR BAPTISMAL
VOWS AND WE HEADED DOWN TO THE
00:11:40.83\00:11:46.16
FISH POND. THE MISSION PRESIDENT
WAS WITH US TO PERFORM THE
BAPTISM AND ANGELS WERE THERE
00:11:46.16\00:11:52.50
TOO PRAISING GOD.
00:11:52.50\00:11:54.23
NOW I WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING
INTERESTING ABOUT BINOT TRIPURA.
00:11:54.23\00:12:00.36
AS WE ARE FOLLOWING HIM
VISITING, LET ME SHARE WITH YOU.
00:12:03.63\00:12:09.30
FIRST I NEED TO SAY BINOT IS
NOT A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER.
00:12:09.30\00:12:14.73
HE WAS, BUT THREE YEARS AGO WHEN
MONEY WAS TIGHT GOSPEL OUTREACH
CUT HALF THE BUDGET
00:12:14.73\00:12:20.76
IN BANGLADESH AND BINOT LOST
HIS STIPEND BUT NOT HIS WILL TO
00:12:28.20\00:12:33.76
PREACH. HE JUST KEPT GOING.
00:12:33.76\00:12:35.46
IT WASN'T EASY.
00:12:35.46\00:12:36.76
HE WAS INVITED TO A VILLAGE.
00:12:36.76\00:12:38.60
THEY BROUGHT HIM A BIBLE AND
THEY ASKED HIM TO EXPLAIN IT.
00:12:38.60\00:12:44.66
MANY CAME TO LISTEN AND SOME
RELIGIOUS RADICALS QUESTIONED
00:12:50.53\00:12:56.50
HIM. THEY ASKED HIM IF JESUS CAN
RAISE THE DEAD WILL HE RAISE YOU
00:12:56.50\00:13:02.63
IF WE KILL YOU.
THEY WERE DEADLY SERIOUS.
00:13:04.66\00:13:07.20
THEY TOOK HIM OUT, BLINDFOLDED
HIM AND TOOK HIM AWAY.
00:13:07.20\00:13:11.50
THE SECURITY POLICE WERE
ALERTED AND THE RADICALS FLED.
00:13:11.50\00:13:16.26
A GRAVE WAS FOUND
THAT THEY HAD DUG FOR HIM.
00:13:16.26\00:13:20.13
HE WAS TAKEN TO THE
POLICE STATION BUT IMMEDIATELY
00:13:20.13\00:13:24.40
RELEASED. NOW HE IS GETTING SOME
PRIVATE TUITION TO HELP PROVIDE
00:13:24.40\00:13:29.10
FOR HIS FAMILY. THE
PRESIDENT T KED ME IFFIT WOE
00:13:29.10\00:13:35.16
HIM BACK AS A GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:13:29.10\00:13:35.16
WORKER AND I WAS HAPPY TO BE
ABLE TO TELL HIM ABOUT OUR NEW
"ADOPT-A-WORKER PROGRAM."
00:13:37.70\00:13:44.80
I TOLD HIM WHEN I SHARE THIS
STORY WITH MY FRIENDS BACK IN
THE UNITED STATES I KNOW THAT
00:13:44.80\00:13:52.43
SOMEBODY WILL BE ALL
TOO WILLING TO ADOPT HIM.
00:13:52.43\00:13:56.60
WELL, HERE HE IS, BINOT TRIPURA.
00:13:56.60\00:14:01.96
WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADOPT
HIM OR SOMEONE LIKE HIM?
00:14:01.96\00:14:06.06
WHAT A STORY OF A
DEDICATED CHRISTIAN MAN.
00:14:06.06\00:14:12.13
THAT'S FANTASTIC.
00:14:14.03\00:14:15.63
HERE THAT MAN IS, EVEN UNDER
SPECULATION FROM PEOPLE, HE
CONTINUES TO PREACH THE WORD
00:14:15.63\00:14:21.40
OF THE LORD.
00:14:23.93\00:14:25.53
THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF
GOSPEL OUTREACH RIGHT?
00:14:25.53\00:14:27.53
YES.
00:14:27.53\00:14:29.13
NOW WE COULDN'T GO TO HIS
VILLAGE BECAUSE YOU HAD TO GET
SPECIAL PERMISSION TO GET UP
00:14:29.13\00:14:33.20
INTO THE CHITTAGONG
HILLS TO GO TO HIS VILLAGE.
00:14:33.20\00:14:36.53
THAT'S THE REASON WHY HE CAME
AND MET US AT THAT CHURCH THAT
YOU SAW IN THE PICTURE.
00:14:36.53\00:14:42.36
WHY WERE YOU
RESTRICTED TO GO THERE?
00:14:42.36\00:14:45.40
FOR WHAT REASON,
DID THEY TELL YOU?
00:14:45.40\00:14:47.60
THEY JUST SAID IT'S DANGEROUS
WITH FIGHTING AND SO ON.
00:14:47.60\00:14:52.46
BUT THROUGH GOSPEL OUTREACH
PEOPLE CAN ADOPT A GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKER WHICH HELPS
00:14:52.46\00:14:56.86
WITH THEIR STIPENDS
AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
00:14:56.86\00:14:58.43
YES.
00:14:58.43\00:14:59.43
SO YOU AND I
MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO GO.
00:14:59.43\00:15:02.16
I DON'T SPEAK THAT LANGUAGE.
00:15:02.16\00:15:03.46
I DON'T THINK YOU SPEAK
THAT LANGUAGE, BUT BINOT DOES.
00:15:03.46\00:15:06.03
YOU CAN ADOPT HIM.
00:15:06.03\00:15:07.03
ABSOLUTELY.
00:15:07.03\00:15:08.03
ARE YOU GOING TO
TAKE US SOMEWHERE ELSE?
00:15:08.03\00:15:10.80
I HAVE MY
PASSPORT, WHERE ARE WE GOING?
00:15:10.80\00:15:14.23
NOW I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE
YOU TO A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THE
00:15:14.23\00:15:20.70
HINDU RELIGION. IN BANGLADESH
THERE ARE ABOUT 80 PERCENT
MUSLIM AND ABOUT 10 PERCENT
00:15:20.70\00:15:26.76
HINDU AND SOME CHRISTIAN AND
SOME OTHER RELIGIONS AS WELL.
00:15:30.60\00:15:33.03
MOST OF THEM ARE
VERY ANIMISTIC AS WELL.
00:15:33.03\00:15:36.13
THEY WORRY ABOUT THE SPIRITS
AND THEY HAVE TO WEAR SPECIAL
00:15:36.13\00:15:41.23
CHARMS. YOU'LL PROBABLY NOTICE
IN SOME OF THE PICTURES CHILDREN
WITH CHARMS AROUND THEIR NECKS
00:15:41.23\00:15:48.00
OR IF THEY HAVE NO CLOTHES ON
YOU WILL SEE THEM WITH A CHARM
AROUND THEIR WAIST.
00:15:48.00\00:15:51.40
THEY WILL KEEP THAT CHARM ON
BECAUSE THEY THINK IT IS GOING
TO KEEP AWAY THE EVIL SPIRITS.
00:15:51.40\00:15:56.43
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT RELIGION
YOU ARE, YOU ARE STILL WORRIED
00:15:56.43\00:16:00.43
ABOUT THE DEVIL. LET ME
SHOW YOU THIS NEXT VIDEO.
00:16:00.43\00:16:06.50
SOME RELIGIONS HAVE MANY
OFFERINGS AND ELABORATE
CEREMONIES-- RINGING OF BELLS,
00:16:16.60\00:16:22.66
BURNING OF INCENSE AND THE
SPRINKLING OF HOLY WATER BUT NO
REAL SOLUTION TO THE REAL
00:16:26.86\00:16:34.33
PROBLEM WHICH IS SIN.
00:16:34.33\00:16:37.03
DIFFERENT GODS ARE
TRIED AND DISCARDED.
00:16:37.03\00:16:39.80
NEW ONES ARE CONSTANTLY
BEING MADE, CHOSEN AND BOUGHT.
00:16:39.80\00:16:44.90
OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS HAVE
THE ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM OF
SIN, BUT IT'S NOT ALWAYS
00:16:44.90\00:16:52.10
OBVIOUS TO EVERYONE.
00:16:52.10\00:16:54.06
SOMETIMES THE DEVIL GETS
EVERYTHING MIXED UP AND CAUSES
00:16:54.06\00:16:59.36
PROBLEMS. A CHURCH HAD BEEN
BUILT IN THIS VILLAGE WITH THE
HELP OF SOME FUNDS FROM KOREA.
00:16:59.36\00:17:05.83
THEY HAD A SCHOOL RUNNING,
THEY HAD BEEN GIVEN SOME SPORTS
00:17:05.83\00:17:10.16
EQUIPMENT AND EVERYTHING WAS
GOING WELL UNTIL A FIGHT BROKE
00:17:10.16\00:17:14.00
OUT. WHEN THE TEACHER TRIED TO
BREAK IT UP HE FOUND HIMSELF IN
00:17:14.00\00:17:18.50
THE MIDDLE OF IT. THE TEACHER
WAS BEATEN UP PRETTY BADLY.
00:17:18.50\00:17:21.13
HE HAD TO BE REMOVED AND A
NEW TEACHER PUT IN HIS PLACE.
00:17:21.13\00:17:24.76
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER
ASHLISH WAS SENT TO THE VILLAGE.
00:17:24.76\00:17:31.06
ON ARRIVAL HE
FOUND THE CHURCH LOCKED.
00:17:31.06\00:17:35.50
HE OPENED THE DOOR BUT
THE VILLAGERS LOCKED IT AGAIN.
00:17:35.50\00:17:39.53
ASHLISH CALLED A VILLAGE COUNCIL
TO TALK ABOUT THE PROBLEM.
00:17:39.53\00:17:43.20
THEY AGREED TO OPEN IT
UP AND START SCHOOL AGAIN.
00:17:43.20\00:17:49.26
THEY DID GET A LITTLE UPSET WHEN
THEY CAME TO PICK UP THE
CHILDREN ON SABBATH AND FOUND
00:17:55.83\00:18:00.66
THEM SINGING RELIGIOUS SONGS,
BUT ASHLISH INVITED THE PARENTS
TO COME AND JOIN THEM
00:18:00.66\00:18:06.43
TO SEE WHAT THEY WERE DOING.
00:18:06.43\00:18:08.93
SOME OF THEM LIKED WHAT THEY
HEARD AND NOW FOUR FAMILIES HAVE
00:18:08.93\00:18:14.70
BEEN BAPTIZED AS SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST CHRISTIANS.
00:18:14.70\00:18:18.13
SOME OF THE NEW
MEMBERS ARE FISHERMEN.
00:18:18.13\00:18:20.26
ASHLISH NEEDED TO EXPLAIN TO
THEM HOW THEY SHOULD PAY THEIR
00:18:20.26\00:18:24.96
TITHE. NOW THE VILLAGERS WELCOME
HIM T0 HAVE WORSHIP WITH THEIR
THEM ON FRIDAY EVENINGS.RAGING
00:18:30.33\00:18:34.46
THERE IS AN ANSWER
TO THE PROBLEM OF SIN.
00:18:34.46\00:18:37.43
OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS HAVE THE ANSWER.
00:18:37.43\00:18:42.93
LET'S CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THEM
WITH OUR PRAYERS AND WITH OUR
FUNDS AS THE GOOD NEWS IS
00:18:42.93\00:18:49.53
BEING SHARED IN BANGLADESH.
00:18:49.53\00:18:52.43
ON OUR WAY HOME OUR SENSES WERE
ASSAULTED ONCE AGAIN WITH THE
00:18:52.43\00:18:58.50
SOUNDS OF WORSHIP. LADIES WERE
DRESSED IN THEIR BEST SARIS.
00:19:07.06\00:19:10.83
CANDLES WERE LIT
AND PRAYERS WERE PRAYED.
00:19:10.83\00:19:13.86
SONGS WERE SUNG AND PEOPLE
WERE LONGING TO HAVE THEIR SINS
00:19:13.86\00:19:19.93
FORGIVEN. WOW, THEY
ARE A COLORFUL PEOPLE.
00:19:25.76\00:19:27.33
LOOK AT ALL
THOSE BEAUTIFUL COLORS.
00:19:27.33\00:19:30.40
ALL OF THAT RELIGIOUS
ACTIVITY, ALL THE IDOLS.
00:19:30.40\00:19:35.70
THESE PEOPLE SO NEED THE LORD.
00:19:35.70\00:19:37.33
WHAT IS THE MAIN DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN HINDUISM AND ALL THOSE
RELIGIONS AND CHRISTIANITY?
00:19:37.33\00:19:43.46
WITH ISLAM THERE IS ONE GOD.
00:19:43.46\00:19:50.20
WITH THE HINDUS
THERE ARE MANY GODS.
00:19:50.20\00:19:54.60
EVERY MONTH A NEW GOD APPEARS.
00:19:54.60\00:19:56.93
THE OLD GOD IS JUST DISCARDED BY
THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND A NEW
GOD WILL BE MADE AND
00:19:56.93\00:20:03.63
PAINTED AND
BOUGHT AND WORSHIPED.
00:20:03.63\00:20:07.56
WITH CHRISTIANITY WE HAVE
ONE GOD BUT THREE PERSONS.
00:20:07.56\00:20:13.63
WE HAVE JESUS
CHRIST AS OUR SAVIOR.
00:20:16.10\00:20:19.30
AND WE HAVE THE
ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM OF SIN.
00:20:19.30\00:20:24.53
THAT'S THE MAIN DIFFERENCE.
00:20:24.53\00:20:26.20
SO TELL ME, WHO IS THE ONE WHO
SAYS THAT LAST MONTH'S GOD IS
OLD NEWS AND YOU HAVE TO GET
00:20:26.20\00:20:32.06
THE NEW ONE?
00:20:47.30\00:20:50.33
IS THIS SOMETHING THAT IS
MANDATED OR DO THE MARKET PLACE
00:20:50.33\00:20:56.40
PEOPLE DO THIS? I DON'T KNOW.
00:21:04.60\00:21:07.63
I SAW IN THE MARKET PLACE
THEY HAD ALL THE DIFFERENT ONES.
00:21:07.63\00:21:13.70
THE ONES YOU SAW IN THE MARKET
PLACE WERE RIGHT UNDERNEATH THE
HOTEL ROOM WHERE I WAS
00:21:16.26\00:21:22.33
STAYING THAT NIGHT.
00:21:25.76\00:21:26.73
I WENT OUTSIDE
AND IT WAS SO NOISY.
00:21:26.73\00:21:29.20
THAT WAS THE
GODDESS OF EDUCATION.
00:21:29.20\00:21:31.30
IF PEOPLE WANT THEIR CHILDREN TO
DO WELL IN SCHOOL THEY HAVE TO
HAVE SPECIAL OFFERINGS TO
00:21:31.30\00:21:37.46
THE GODDESS OF EDUCATION.
00:21:37.46\00:21:38.90
YOU TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
THE CONNECTION BETWEEN
BANGLADESH AND KOREA.
00:21:38.90\00:21:41.43
CAN YOU TALK A
LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT?
00:21:41.43\00:21:43.53
THE PRESIDENT OF OUR CHURCH
HEADQUARTERS IN THAT PART OF
ASIA USED TO BE KOREAN.
00:21:43.53\00:21:47.06
THAT'S WHY HE HAS A SPECIAL
AFFINITY FOR PLACES LIKE
BANGLADESH AND MYANMAR.
00:21:47.06\00:21:50.10
I REMEMBER THAT HIS WIFE WAS
VERY INTERESTED IN HELPING THE
SCHOOLS IN MYANMAR.
00:21:50.10\00:21:53.40
THE E ESIDENT OF OUR S SINARY IN
BANGLADESH IS ALSO KOREAN SO WE
HAVE QUITE A STRONG
00:21:53.40\00:21:57.16
CONNECTION WITH KOREA.
00:21:57.16\00:21:58.16
KOREANS ARE ALWAYS
WANTING TO DO MISSION PROJECTS.
00:21:58.16\00:21:59.73
THEY ARE VERY GENEROUS.
00:21:59.73\00:22:00.83
WE HEARD AND SAW THE
VIDEOS, YOU SHARED THE STORIES.
00:22:00.83\00:22:03.10
IS IT DANGEROUS FOR THESE DEAR
BELIEVERS WHO ARE GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS WHO ARE
00:22:03.10\00:22:06.40
WORKING FOR THE LORD?
00:22:06.40\00:22:07.40
TELL US ABOUT THAT.
00:22:07.40\00:22:08.36
IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.
00:22:08.36\00:22:09.90
WHEN PEOPLE START TO GET
TOGETHER AND TURN AGAINST
SOMEONE THAT'S WHEN YOU HAVE A
00:22:09.90\00:22:16.13
PROBLEM.
00:22:16.13\00:22:17.13
I LIVED IN
PAKISTAN FOR SIX YEARS.
00:22:17.13\00:22:21.80
I MIXED WITH
MUSLIMS IN BANGLADESH.
00:22:21.80\00:22:25.26
THEY WERE ALWAYS VERY VERY
FRIENDLY TO ME, ALWAYS VERY
NICE, ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW
00:22:25.26\00:22:32.90
WHAT I WAS DOING
AND WHY I WAS THERE.
00:22:32.90\00:22:34.66
I NEVER HAD ANY TROUBLE AT ALL.
00:22:34.66\00:22:37.86
ACTUALLY I FELT MUCH
MORE DANGER ON THE ROADS.
00:22:37.86\00:22:42.40
ABSOLUTELY, TO A FOREIGN PERSON.
00:22:42.40\00:22:45.93
IF HINDU IS SO COLORFUL HOW CAN
CHRISTIANITY, AND I USE THE WORD
"COMPETE", WITH THIS
00:22:45.93\00:22:52.00
INGRAINED CULTURE, THIS
TRADITION OF THE HINDU RELIGION.
00:22:57.23\00:23:02.30
ALTHOUGH THE HINDU RELIGION IS
VERY BRIGHT AND VERY COLORFUL,
IT DOESN'T HAVE THE ANSWER TO
00:23:02.30\00:23:08.36
THE PROBLEM OF SIN.
00:23:10.46\00:23:12.93
THAT'S, I FEEL, WHERE
CHRISTIANITY HAS THE EDGE
BECAUSE WE HAVE THE ANSWER TO
00:23:12.93\00:23:19.76
THAT PROBLEM OF SIN.
00:23:19.76\00:23:21.63
AND IT'S UP TO US TO SHARE THE
LOVE OF THE LORD WITH SO MANY
DEAR PEOPLE WHO NEED TO KNOW
00:23:21.63\00:23:26.63
MORE ABOUT HIM.
00:23:26.63\00:23:27.86
WHAT'S ON YOUR HEART JOHN AS YOU
HAVE RETURNED FROM BANGLADESH?
00:23:27.86\00:23:32.46
WHAT'S ON YOUR
HEART FOR THESE PEOPLE?
00:23:32.46\00:23:34.63
A WHILE AGO WHEN MONEY WAS TIGHT
WE HAD TO CUT SOME OF OUR
WORKERS THERE, AND WE WANT
00:23:34.63\00:23:40.70
TO BUILD THAT NUMBER UP AGAIN IN
BANGLADESH BECAUSE THERE ARE
MANY PLACES WHERE WE NEED
00:23:44.73\00:23:51.30
THE GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKER TO BE WORKING.
00:23:51.30\00:23:54.63
WE NEED SOME HELP.
00:23:54.63\00:23:57.16
HOW MANY WORKERS
ARE THERE RIGHT NOW?
00:23:57.16\00:24:00.20
WE HAVE ABOUT 40 BUT WE'D LIKE
TO DOUBLE THAT NUMBER TO 80.
00:24:00.20\00:24:05.53
THAT SOUNDS WONDERFUL.
00:24:05.53\00:24:06.60
THE MORE PEOPLE OUT THERE
SHARING THE LORD THE BETTER.
00:24:06.60\00:24:09.96
YES.
00:24:09.96\00:24:11.50
WE NEED SOME PEOPLE TO ADOPT
WORKERS LIKE BINOT TRIIPURA
WORKING UP THERE IN THE
00:24:11.50\00:24:15.80
CHITTAGONG HILLS.
00:24:15.80\00:24:16.93
THAT'S WHERE YOU CAN BE INVOLVED
HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:24:16.93\00:24:20.26
WE WOULD LIKE
TO ASK YOU TO HELP.
00:24:20.26\00:24:23.23
YOU HAVE HEARD WHAT JOHN HAS
SHARED AS HE HAS RETURNED FROM
HIS TRIP TO BANGLADESH.
00:24:23.23\00:24:29.13
YOU CAN GET INVOLVED
BY ADOPTING A WORKER.
00:24:29.13\00:24:32.10
WE CAN TALK WITH YOU WHEN YOU
CALL AND WHEN YOU GO ON OUR WEB
SITE AT WWW.GOAIM.ORG
00:24:32.10\00:24:38.76
<http://WWW.GOAIM.ORG> .
00:24:38.76\00:24:40.03
ALL THE INFORMATION IS RIGHT
THERE FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO
00:24:40.03\00:24:43.93
DONATE. THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE WANTING TO DO HERE JOHN.
00:24:43.93\00:24:46.90
SO MANY PEOPLE IN
AMERICA AND CANADA.
00:24:46.90\00:24:49.50
THE LORD HAS CALLED
US TO A PURPOSE HERE.
00:24:49.50\00:24:52.83
HOWEVER, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT
WE CAN'T HELP SOMEONE WHO GOD
HAS CALLED FOR HIS PURPOSE
00:24:52.83\00:24:58.73
IN BANGLADESH.
00:24:58.73\00:24:59.73
WHAT ARE SOME PRAYERS WE
CAN OFFER UP TO THE LORD?
00:24:59.73\00:25:03.63
WHAT WOULD BE SOME SPECIFIC
PRAYERS ON BEHALF OF THE FOLKS
00:25:03.63\00:25:08.43
IN BANGLADESH? YOU KNOW, WE PAY
THEM A WAGE THAT WILL LET THEM
00:25:08.43\00:25:13.23
JUST SURVIVE. IF THEY GET SICK
OR IF THEIR CHILDREN NEED TO GO
TO SCHOOL, THAT'S WHEN THEY RUN
00:25:13.23\00:25:19.60
INTO PROBLEMS.
00:25:19.60\00:25:20.86
WE NEED TO PRAY THAT THEY
KEEP HEALTHY AND ABLE TO WORK.
00:25:20.86\00:25:24.20
AS SOMEONE WHO HAS TRAVELED
THERE, IT'S ONE THING TO SEE THE
00:25:24.20\00:25:29.86
VIDEO JOHN. I ALWAYS SAY IT'S
ONE THING TO LOOK IN NATIONAL
GEOGRAPHIC, BUT YOU CAN'T TASTE
00:25:29.86\00:25:36.73
IT, YOU CAN'T SMELL
IT, YOU CAN'T FEEL IT.
00:25:36.73\00:25:39.53
THOSE PEOPLE ARE HAVING TO
SURVIVE LIKE THOSE FLOODS THAT
YOU TALKED ABOUT BECAUSE OF
00:25:39.53\00:25:45.60
CLIMATE CHANGE.
00:25:45.60\00:25:46.60
IN BANGLADESH IT
IS A VERY HARD LIFE.
00:25:46.60\00:25:49.63
THE LADIES THERE POUNDING THE
RICE AND PREPARING ALL THE FOOD.
00:25:49.63\00:25:54.10
THAT TAKES A LOT OF
EFFORT TO DO ALL OF THAT.
00:25:54.10\00:25:58.53
YES.
00:25:58.53\00:25:59.83
FIFTY PERCENT OF ALL THE
CHILDREN IN BANGLADESH ARE
00:25:59.83\00:26:02.96
UNDERNOURISHED. FIFTY PERCENT?
00:26:02.96\00:26:04.63
THAT IS HUGE.
00:26:04.63\00:26:06.33
AND FIFTY PERCENT HAVE ANEMIA.
00:26:06.33\00:26:09.70
SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT IN THE CHILD MORTALITY
00:26:09.70\00:26:12.33
RATE. IT IS ABSOLUTELY HUGE.
00:26:12.33\00:26:14.43
THERE IS A LOT TO
PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE THERE.
00:26:14.43\00:26:17.43
THANK YOU FOR
BEING HERE WITH US.
00:26:17.43\00:26:19.50
THANK YOU FOR THE WORK YOU
ARE DOING FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:26:19.50\00:26:23.33
WE THANK YOU FOR BEING A PARTNER
WITH US AS WE ALL TOGETHER SHARE
00:26:23.33\00:26:29.40
THE LOVE OF THE LORD.
00:26:33.73\00:26:35.23
AS YOU HAVE HEARD ABOUT
BANGLADESH I PRAY THAT THE LORD
WILL IMPRESS UPON YOUR
00:26:35.23\00:26:38.00
HEART WHAT YOU CAN DO.
00:26:38.00\00:26:39.46
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING
"ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS" AT
00:26:39.46\00:26:42.53
GOSPEL OUTREACH. I'M JULIE
SANDERS KEYMER AND MAY THE LORD
00:26:42.53\00:26:45.73
BLESS YOU. [CLOSING MUSIC] THE
GOSPEL TELLS US IN MATTHEW
24:14-- AND THIS GOSPEL OF THE
00:26:45.73\00:26:49.16
KINGDOM SHALL BE PREACHED IN ALL
THE WORLD FOR A WITNESS UNTO ALL
COME.NS AND THEN SHALL THE END
00:26:54.00\00:26:55.70
INSPIRED BY THOSE WORDS GOSPEL
OUTREACH BEGAN WITH ONE WORKER
AND OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS HAS
00:26:55.70\00:27:00.20
GROWN INTO AN ORGANIZATION WITH
TWENTY-TWO HUNDRED WORKERS IN
00:27:00.20\00:27:05.43
FORTY PLUS COUNTRIES.
00:27:05.43\00:27:06.80
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS AN
INDEPENDENT SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST LAY MINISTRY RUN
00:27:06.80\00:27:09.90
ENTIRELY BY VOLUNTEERS.
00:27:09.90\00:27:12.93
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKS WITH THE
ORGANIZED CHURCH TO SPONSOR
BIBLE WORKERES IN THE 10/40
00:27:12.93\00:27:17.43
WINDOW.
00:27:17.43\00:27:18.43
WHERE IS THE
10/40 WINDOW ANYWAY?
00:27:18.43\00:27:23.96
THOSE PEOPLE LIVE TOO FAR AWAY.
00:27:23.96\00:27:27.13
SOMEONE ELSE CAN
TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS.
00:27:27.13\00:27:28.93
MAYBE THEY COULD JUST WATCH TV.
00:27:28.93\00:27:32.00
NEARLY THREE
BILLION PEOPLE TO REACH.
00:27:32.00\00:27:35.06
MY HEAD HURTS.
00:27:35.06\00:27:36.60
THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO.
00:27:36.60\00:27:39.16
I GIVE UP.
00:27:39.16\00:27:40.70
WHAT'S THE POINT OF TRYING?
00:27:40.70\00:27:43.40
I CAN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:27:43.40\00:27:45.76
ACTUALLY YOU CAN MAKE A
DIFFERENCE AND JESUS ASKED YOU
TO GO TO ALL THE WORLD.
00:27:45.76\00:27:52.90
WHERE?
00:27:52.90\00:27:53.90
ALL OF THE WORLD.
00:27:53.90\00:27:54.90
HOW CAN I GO I HAVE COMMITMENTS.
00:27:54.90\00:27:57.70
YOU CAN PRAY.
00:27:57.70\00:27:58.76
YOU CAN VOLUNTEER YOUR TALENTS.
00:27:58.76\00:28:04.90
YOU CAN TELL OTHERS.
00:28:22.93\00:28:23.83
YOU CAN GIVE MONEY TO
SPONSOR BIBLE WORKERS.
00:28:23.83\00:28:25.36
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE
SEARCHING FOR HOPE AND MEANING.
