[OPENING MUSIC]
00:00:00.50\00:00:20.53
WELCOME TO "ADVENTURES IN
MISSIONS" WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:00:20.53\00:00:25.40
I'M JULIE SANDERS KEYMER.
00:00:25.40\00:00:26.50
I'M REALLY GLAD THAT
YOU'RE JOINING US TODAY.
00:00:26.50\00:00:28.90
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO MIGHT NOT
KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT GOSPEL
OUTREACH, GOSPEL OUTREACH IS A
00:00:28.90\00:00:33.16
LALAPERSONS ORGANIZATION HELPING
TO SUPPORT MISSIONS THROUGH THE
00:00:33.16\00:00:37.46
SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
00:00:37.46\00:00:38.43
WE ARE SPECIFICALLY
TARGETING THE 10/40 WINDOW.
00:00:38.43\00:00:40.76
THAT'S 10 DEGREES NORTH OF THE
EQUATOR UP TO 40 DEGREES AND
LEFT OVER TO WEST AFRICA AND
00:00:40.76\00:00:47.76
ALL THE WAY TO
THE RIGHT TO JAPAN.
00:00:47.76\00:00:50.86
THAT AREA IS HEAVILY POPULATED.
00:00:50.86\00:00:52.80
GOSPEL OUTREACH'S MISSION IS TO
HELP THOSE PEOPLE LIVING IN THAT
10/40 WINDOW TO KNOW MORE
00:00:52.80\00:00:59.03
ABOUT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
00:00:59.03\00:01:01.03
WE'RE VERY GLAD THAT
YOU'RE HERE AND JOHN,
00:01:01.03\00:01:04.13
YOU ARE A DIRECTOR
HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:01:04.13\00:01:07.26
YOU HAVE A PARTICULAR
REGION IN THAT 10/40 WINDOW.
00:01:07.26\00:01:10.76
YES.
00:01:10.76\00:01:11.76
I ALWAYS VISIT
BANGLADESH EVERY YEAR.
00:01:11.76\00:01:13.46
THEN I GO TO TRIPURA
WHICH IS A SMALL STATE IN INDIA.
00:01:13.46\00:01:18.13
ACTUALLY IT'S THE THIRD
SMALLEST OF THE INDIAN STATES.
00:01:18.13\00:01:21.63
YOUR POSITION HERE AT GOSPEL
OUTREACH IS YOU GO AND MEET WITH
THE GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:01:21.63\00:01:27.46
WORKERS IN YOUR DISTRICT.
00:01:27.46\00:01:29.03
YES, I CHECK AND MAKE SURE
THAT THEY ARE RECEIVING THEIR
00:01:29.03\00:01:33.70
STIPENDS. I CHECK ON THEIR WORK.
00:01:33.70\00:01:35.63
I MAKE VIDEOS AND YOU'LL
SEE SOME OF THOSE VIDEOS IN OUR
00:01:35.63\00:01:41.10
INTERVIEW TODAY. SHARE WITH US
JOHN, WHEN SOMEONE GIVES TO
GOSPEL OUTREACH FOR WORK IN THE
00:01:41.10\00:01:46.93
10/40 WINDOW THAT WE HAVE TALKED
ABOUT ON THE GLOBE, HOW DOES
THAT MONEY GO TO THE LOCAL
00:01:46.93\00:01:53.53
CHURCH AND WHAT HAPPENS WITH IT?
00:01:53.53\00:01:55.86
THAT MONEY WILL GO TO THE CHURCH
HEADQUARTERS IN THAT AREA,
00:01:55.86\00:02:03.76
SOUTHEAST ASIA. THEN THAT MONEY
IS DIVIDED UP AND IT GOES TO THE
00:02:03.76\00:02:06.73
DIFFERENT UNIONS IN THAT
AREA, DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.
00:02:06.73\00:02:09.90
THEN THEY SHARE
IT OUT FROM THERE.
00:02:09.90\00:02:13.43
I DON'T TAKE
ANY MONEY WHEN I GO.
00:02:13.43\00:02:17.56
I DON'T HANDLE
ANY OF THAT MONEY.
00:02:17.56\00:02:19.10
IT ALL GOES THROUGH
THE REGULAR CHURCH CHANNELS
00:02:19.10\00:02:22.00
AND THAT'S HOW IT
GETS TO THE WORKER.
00:02:22.00\00:02:24.16
WONDERFUL.
00:02:24.16\00:02:25.76
I THINK THAT'S SO GOOD FOR US TO
BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE THAT HERE
AT GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:02:25.76\00:02:28.50
SO YOU ARE GOING TO
TAKE US TO THIS TRIPURA AREA.
00:02:28.50\00:02:31.80
I LIKE THAT NAME-TRIPURA.
00:02:31.80\00:02:34.20
HOW IS THE TRIPURA AREA
DIFFERENT FROM ANY OF THE OTHER
00:02:34.20\00:02:40.30
INDIAN STATES? IT'S SORT OF LIKE
A TEAR DROP THAT COMES DOWN INTO
00:02:40.30\00:02:47.06
BANGLADESH. IT'S SURROUNDED
ON THREE SIDES BY BANGLADESH.
00:02:47.06\00:02:51.13
MUCH OF THE CULTURE, PROBABLY 80
PERCENT OF THE CULTURE IN
TRIPURA IS BANGLADESHI.
00:02:51.13\00:02:58.53
WHAT ARE THE
RELIGIONS IN THAT REGION?
00:02:58.53\00:03:00.46
IT'S ABOUT 80 PERCENT ISLAM BUT
THEN THERE IS QUITE A HIGH
PERCENTAGE OF HINDUS IN THAT
00:03:00.46\00:03:06.53
PART OF THE COUNTRY.
00:03:10.23\00:03:11.50
THERE ARE JUST A FEW CHRISTIANS
AND THEN A FEW BUDDHISTS AS
00:03:11.50\00:03:16.56
WELL. WHY DON'T YOU INTRODUCE US
TO THE VIDEO THAT YOU'RE GOING
00:03:16.56\00:03:20.46
TO SHARE WITH US. THE REASON I'M
GOING TO SHOW YOU THIS VIDEO IS
TO SHOW YOU HOW DIFFICULT IT IS
00:03:20.46\00:03:25.80
TO GET AROUND IN TRIPURA.
00:03:25.80\00:03:28.26
THE ROADS ARE PRETTY BAD.
00:03:28.26\00:03:30.10
LET ME SHOW YOU.
00:03:30.10\00:03:31.60
THE MOUNTAIN ROADS TO NORTHEAST
INDIA SEEM TO BE ALWAYS FULL OF
00:03:31.60\00:03:37.16
INDIAN LORRIES. THE ROAD IS JUST
TOO NARROW AND SOMETIMES IT'S
00:03:45.60\00:03:51.06
DIFFICULT TO FIND. SOME TRUCKS
MAKE IT, SOME THINK THEY CAN AND
00:03:51.06\00:03:56.63
SOME DON'T. THE
POLICE HAD JUST ARRIVED.
00:03:56.63\00:03:59.06
THE DRIVER HAD RUN OUT OF LUCK
BUT AT LEAST HE WAS STILL ALIVE.
00:03:59.06\00:04:04.66
A FEW YEARS AGO TRAVEL WAS
VERY RESTRICTED IN TRIPURA,
00:04:04.66\00:04:09.20
BUT NOW THE ARMY
HAS IT IN CONTROL.
00:04:09.20\00:04:11.86
ANYWAY, WE MADE IT AROUND
OBSTACLES, ACROSS SHAKY BRIDGES
00:04:18.96\00:04:24.76
ALL THE WAY TO THIS VILLAGE.
00:04:24.76\00:04:26.83
THAT'S NINETEEN MILE VILLAGE.
00:04:26.83\00:04:30.23
MOYA AND HIS WIFE ARE THE
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS THERE.
00:04:30.23\00:04:35.60
SOMETIMES IT HELPS TO HAVE
A LADY WORKER TO LISTEN TO THE
00:04:35.60\00:04:41.33
VILLAGE PROBLEMS. I ENJOYED
COMING TO SEE YOU LAST YEAR IN
YOUR VILLAGE, BUT THE THING THAT
00:04:41.33\00:04:47.40
I ENJOYED THE MOST WAS GOING TO
THE PONDS DOWN THERE AND SEEING
00:04:51.73\00:04:59.13
A BAPTISM. THE PEOPLE BACK
HOME IN AMERICA REALLY ENJOYED
00:04:59.13\00:05:04.23
THE VIDEO THAT WE
MADE OF YOUR VILLAGE.
00:05:04.23\00:05:09.23
THIS IS A LARGER VILLAGE A
COUPLE OF MILES DOWN THE ROAD.
00:05:09.23\00:05:16.73
THEY HAVE A
WEEKLY MARKET ON FRIDAYS.
00:05:16.73\00:05:21.43
I HAD TO TAKE A LOOK AROUND.
00:05:21.43\00:05:23.03
IT WAS SO INTERESTING
WITH SUCH COLORFUL PEOPLE.
00:05:23.03\00:05:28.36
EVERYONE WAS OUT FOR A BARGAIN
INCLUDING MOYA OUR GOSPEL
00:05:28.36\00:05:35.00
OUTREACH WORKER. HE NEEDED
TOMATOES BUT SO DID ANOTHER LADY
00:05:35.00\00:05:40.20
SHOPPER. THEY STARTED TALKING
AND THE LADY, DAHIRUM, INVITED
00:05:40.20\00:05:45.66
MOYA TO VISIT HER
HOUSE TO MEET HER HUSBAND.
00:05:45.66\00:05:49.20
THE HUSBAND WAS SICK AT HOME.
00:05:49.20\00:05:50.96
HE WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WALKING
PARTLY DUE TO A BAD CASE OF
00:05:50.96\00:05:55.90
MALARIA. MOYA ASKED
IF HE COULD PRAY FOR HIM.
00:06:10.06\00:06:12.20
THEY HAD MEETINGS EVERY NIGHT
FOR A MONTH THEN SOME SERIOUS
DECISIONS WERE MADE.
00:06:16.46\00:06:22.53
ONE MONTH AGO DAHIRUM AND
FIVE OTHERS WERE BAPTIZED.
00:06:46.23\00:06:52.30
WHAT THEY ASKED ME
FOR WAS A CHURCH BUILDING.
00:07:02.06\00:07:06.06
THEY HAVE THE LAND.
00:07:06.06\00:07:07.96
TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS WOULD
BE ENOUGH FOR A SIMPLE STRUCTURE
00:07:07.96\00:07:13.16
LIKE THIS. THE MEMBERS ALSO SAID
THEY WOULD LIKE A NEW BUILDING
00:07:13.16\00:07:18.93
TOO. LET'S HELP THEM AND
LET'S KEEP SUPPORTING OUR GOSPEL
00:07:18.93\00:07:24.16
OUTREACH WORKERS
LIKE MOYA AND HIS WIFE.
00:07:24.16\00:07:27.30
UNBELIEVABLE.
00:07:27.30\00:07:28.83
HOW OFTEN AM I AT THE GROCERY
STORE AND STRIKE UP A
CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE TO
00:07:28.83\00:07:36.20
TALK ABOUT THE LORD
JESUS CHRIST OVER THE TOMATOES.
00:07:36.20\00:07:40.90
I MEAN JOHN, THAT'S FANTASTIC.
00:07:40.90\00:07:43.50
BLESS THAT MAN'S HEART.
00:07:43.50\00:07:45.60
YOU MENTIONED THE LORRY.
00:07:45.60\00:07:47.70
THAT'S ANOTHER TERM FOR TRUCK.
00:07:47.70\00:07:50.30
IN ENGLAND AND ALSO IN
INDIA THEY CALL THEM LORRIES.
00:07:50.30\00:07:56.43
I DIDN'T HEAR A
LOT OF HORN HONKING.
00:07:56.43\00:08:00.60
WERE THEY PRETTY
GOOD ABOUT NOT HONKING?
00:08:00.60\00:08:02.83
WHEN I'VE BEEN IN ASIA
THE HORN IS REALLY A WAY OF
00:08:02.83\00:08:06.53
COMMUNICATING. YES,
BECAUSE YOU'RE IN THE TOWN.
00:08:06.53\00:08:08.06
WHEN YOU'RE IN THE TOWN EVERYONE
THINKS THEY HAVE TO BLOW THEIR
00:08:08.06\00:08:14.00
HORN JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT
EVERYONE KNOWS WHERE THEY ARE.
00:08:14.00\00:08:15.96
IT'S FANTASTIC HOW THAT GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKER WAS BUYING
TOMATOES AND HE STARTS UP A
00:08:15.96\00:08:22.03
CONVERSATION WITH THIS WOMAN.
00:08:25.40\00:08:26.53
HE COMES TO FIND
OUT HER HUSBAND IS ILL.
00:08:26.53\00:08:29.60
LOOKING AT THEIR HOUSE,
OBVIOUSLY A MOSQUITO COULD GET
IN THERE AND HERE THIS POOR
00:08:29.60\00:08:35.90
MAN HAS MALARIA.
00:08:35.90\00:08:36.90
THAT WAS A TYPICAL HOUSE.
00:08:36.90\00:08:39.06
BLESS THEIR HEARTS.
00:08:39.06\00:08:40.80
TELL ME, WHAT'S
THE EDUCATION LEVEL?
00:08:40.80\00:08:44.03
THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER
00:08:44.03\00:08:45.63
OBVIOUSLY UNDERSTOOD ENGLISH
BECAUSE HE WAS TRANSLATING FOR
00:08:45.63\00:08:48.56
YOU. LOTS OF OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS ARE QUITE WELL EDUCATED.
00:08:48.56\00:08:54.23
SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN
THROUGH OUR COLLEGE SYSTEM.
00:08:54.23\00:08:57.60
SOME OF THEM HAVE TRAINED TO BE
PASTORS BUT THEY DON'T HAVE
ENOUGH MONEY AT THE CHURCH
00:08:57.60\00:09:05.03
LEVEL TO EMPLOY THEM AND THIS IS
WHERE GOSPEL OUTREACH WILL COME
I IALTHTHGH T TY GET PAID
00:09:05.03\00:09:11.10
PROBABLY ABOUT HALF OF WHAT
A REGULAR PASTOR WILL BE PAID.
00:09:13.16\00:09:17.60
JUST ENOUGH TO SURVIVE ON BUT
THEY ARE HAPPY TO ACCEPT THAT
AND WE ARE HAPPY TO HAVE THEM
00:09:17.60\00:09:25.43
AS GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS.
00:09:25.43\00:09:26.90
ABSOLUTELY.
00:09:26.90\00:09:28.70
YOU MENTIONED ABOUT THE SPOUSE.
00:09:28.70\00:09:30.26
I SAW THE LADY
MINISTERING TO ANOTHER WOMAN.
00:09:30.26\00:09:32.76
OBVIOUSLY THAT WOULD BE
MORE APPROPRIATE FOR SOME
00:09:32.76\00:09:35.66
CONVERSATIONS
THAT NEED TO BE HAD.
00:09:35.66\00:09:37.73
IS THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER'S
SPOUSE ALSO EMPLOYED BY GOSPEL
00:09:37.73\00:09:43.96
OUTREACH? NOT ALWAYS BUT
SOMETIMES WE WILL HAVE A SPOUSE
THAT IS MAYBE A TEACHER OR GOOD
00:09:43.96\00:09:51.16
AT TEACACNG A A
SHE WILL TEACHHSCHS
00:09:51.16\00:09:57.60
HER HUSBAND WILL GO TO ANOTHER
00:09:51.16\00:09:57.60
VILLAGE AND TRY AND START A
NEW CHURCH IN A NEW VILLAGE.
00:09:57.60\00:10:02.40
WE TALKED ABOUT HOW GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKS WITH THE
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
00:10:02.40\00:10:06.80
CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
00:10:06.80\00:10:07.66
HOW DOES THE LOCAL
CONFERENEN GET INVOLVED?
00:10:07.66\00:10:10.43
THEY ARE THE ONES WHO TRAIN
THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS.
00:10:10.43\00:10:14.43
THEY ARE THE ONES WHO PAY THEM
AND THEY ARE THE ONES WHO TELL
THEM WHERE THEY ARE SUPPOSED
00:10:14.43\00:10:22.06
TO BE WORKING.
00:10:22.06\00:10:23.26
THEY WILL MOVE THEM
FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER.
00:10:23.26\00:10:26.86
YOU WILL FIND THAT SOMETIMES IF
THEY ARE HAVING SOME
EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS IN A
00:10:26.86\00:10:32.50
TOWN THEY WILL TAKE TWO OR THREE
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS AND
BRING THEM IN TO THAT AREA
00:10:32.50\00:10:39.30
TO HELP WITH THE
EVANGELISTIC THRUST.
00:10:39.30\00:10:42.90
THEN YOU TALKED ABOUT A CHURCH
BEING BUILT FOR TWO THOUSAND
00:10:42.90\00:10:47.96
DOLLARS. HOW COOL.
00:10:47.96\00:10:49.16
YES, AS YOU SAW
IT LOOKED QUITE NICE.
00:10:49.16\00:10:51.60
IT WAS NICE.
00:10:51.60\00:10:53.13
IT'S MADE OF VERY THIN TIN.
00:10:53.13\00:10:57.00
IF I PUSHED IT WITH MY HAND
I COULD DENT IT STRAIGHT AWAY.
00:10:57.00\00:11:01.40
AND IT GETS VERY HOT.
00:11:01.40\00:11:05.23
THERE IS NO INSULATION.
00:11:05.23\00:11:06.50
SO IN THE WINTER IT'S VERY COLD
AND IN THE SUMMER IT IS VERY
00:11:06.50\00:11:10.83
HOT. I PERSONALLY LIKE THE LOCAL
NATIVE-MADE CHURCHES BECAUSE
THEY ARE MADE WITH THATCH.
00:11:10.83\00:11:17.60
THEY STAY A LITTLE BIT COOLER IN
THE SUMMER AND MAYBE NOT SO WARM
IN THE WINTER IF THE RAIN
00:11:17.60\00:11:25.33
COMES THROUGH.
00:11:25.33\00:11:26.33
THEY PROBABLY LEAK A
LITTLE BIT THROUGH THE ROOF.
00:11:26.33\00:11:29.86
THAT'S WHY PEOPLE
LIKE A TIN CHURCH.
00:11:29.86\00:11:32.00
HOW GRATEFUL THESE PEOPLE
ARE TO HAVE A PLACE TO WORSHIP.
00:11:32.00\00:11:34.60
I THINK THAT IS
REALLY AT THE CORE OF IT.
00:11:34.60\00:11:36.60
FOR TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS WE
CAN PUT UP A PLACE OF WORSHIP.
00:11:36.60\00:11:42.46
YOU KNOW WHAT, SOMETIMES
THE COLOR OF THE CARPET REALLY
00:11:42.46\00:11:46.70
DOESN'T MATTER. ACTUALLY
IT'S USUALLY MUD ON THE FLOOR.
00:11:46.70\00:11:49.43
THAT'S MY POINT.
00:11:49.43\00:11:51.23
IT'S ABOUT FELLOWSHIP AND
WORSHIPPING THE LORD JESUS
00:11:51.23\00:11:54.20
CHRIST. WHERE ARE WE GOING TO GO
NEXT ON YOUR TRAVELOGUE WITH
GOSPEL OUTREACH IN TRIPURA?
00:11:54.20\00:12:00.73
I HAVE A VERY INTERESTING STORY
AND I HAVE CALLED IT "NOT FOR
00:12:00.73\00:12:06.73
BURNING." LET'S WATCH.
00:12:06.73\00:12:08.20
THIS IS THE STORY OF ROBICHARAN
ONE OF THE FIRST SEVENTH-DAY
00:12:08.20\00:12:14.90
ADVENTISTS TO BE BAPTIZED
IN THIS VILLAGE IN TRIPURA IN
00:12:14.90\00:12:19.83
NORTHEAST INDIA. OUR GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKER WAS SO HAPPY TO
CONGRATULATE THE FAMILY.
00:12:19.83\00:12:27.60
ROBICHARAN WAS BORN INTO A HINDU
FAMILY BUT HE WAS VERY IMPRESSED
00:12:27.60\00:12:34.26
WHEN HE HEARD
CHRISTIANS SINGING.
00:12:34.26\00:12:36.06
IT IMPRESSED HIM SO MUCH HE
WANTED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT JESUS
CHRIST AND WAS BAPTIZED
00:12:41.83\00:12:48.63
AT A BAPTIST CHURCH
IN THE NEARBY VILLAGE.
00:12:48.63\00:12:52.30
LOCALS GOT MAD, ATTACKED HIM,
SHAVED HIS HEAD, WOULDN'T LET
HIM TAKE WATER FROM THE WELL.
00:12:52.30\00:12:58.26
THEY SAW HIM CARRYING A
BIBLE, STOLE IT, THREW IT ON THE
00:12:58.26\00:13:01.76
FIRE BUT THE BIBLE
WASN'T FOR BURNING.
00:13:01.76\00:13:05.73
ROBICHARAN PRAYED, "DEAR GOD,
PLEASE GIVE ME TWELVE MORE
BELIEVERS IN THIS VILLAGE,"
00:13:05.73\00:13:12.76
AND GOD GAVE HIM SIXTEEN.
00:13:12.76\00:13:15.06
SOME OF THOSE WHO TRIED TO BURN
HIS BIBLE REGRETTED IT, AND HE
WAS ABLE TO TAKE THEM
00:13:15.06\00:13:20.66
TO THE CHURCH THREE
KILOMETERS AWAY FOR BAPTISM.
00:13:20.66\00:13:24.26
ROBICHARAN THEN ATTENDED A BIBLE
COLLEGE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS SO
00:13:24.26\00:13:30.76
THAT HE COULD BE A MORE
EFFECTIVE WITNESS AND START A
CHURCH IN HIS OWN VILLAGE.
00:13:30.76\00:13:36.60
THEN CAME AN
UNEXPECTED TURN OF EVENTS.
00:13:36.60\00:13:40.30
ROBICHARAN WAS VISITING
SOME RELATIVES IN A NEARBY TOWN.
00:13:40.30\00:13:45.90
THEY WERE NOT CHRISTIANS BUT
THEY HAD A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
00:13:45.90\00:13:51.93
FRIEND, CHITA. THIS FRIEND SPOKE
WITH ROBICHARAN ABOUT SPIRITUAL
00:14:15.26\00:14:17.80
THINGS. ROBICHARAN
STUDIED WITH CHITA'S FAMILY.
00:14:17.80\00:14:19.23
CHITA CALLED PASTOR ZAMINGA THE
LOCAL TRIPURA AREA SUPERVISOR
00:14:19.23\00:14:23.16
WHO CAME AND
STUDIED WITH ROBICHARAN.
00:14:23.16\00:14:24.60
ZAMINGA CALLED IN A DISTRICT
EVANGELIST AND A GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:14:24.60\00:14:27.93
WORKER RAZAD. ROBICHARAN DECIDED
THAT HE WANTED TO BE BAPTIZED
00:14:27.93\00:14:30.46
AS A SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST CHRISTIAN.
00:14:30.46\00:14:31.90
SO TODAY WE SET OFF TO THE LOCAL
FISH POND TO SEE ROBICHARAN, HIS
00:14:31.90\00:14:38.80
COUSIN AND FAMILY
MAKE A COVENANT WITH GOD.
00:14:38.80\00:14:42.73
WHAT A JOY TO SEE ROBICHARAN'S
FACE WHEN IT WAS ALL OVER.
00:14:42.73\00:14:48.56
OF COURSE, SOME CHANGES HAD TO
BE MADE AND SOME THINGS HAD TO
00:14:48.56\00:14:54.63
BE CLEARED AWAY. IN FACT SOME
THINGS WERE BURNED THAT DAY BUT
00:14:58.93\00:15:04.46
IT WASN'T A BIBLE. ROBICHARAN'S
COUSIN HAS ALREADY GIVEN SOME
LAND TO BUILD A CHURCH ON.
00:15:04.46\00:15:10.50
THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER IS
STILL DOING EVANGELISM IN THAT
VILLAGE AND GUESS WHAT.
00:15:13.33\00:15:19.40
OUR FIRST CONVERT, ROBICHARAN,
ASKED ME IF HE COULD PUT HIS
BIBLE COLLEGE TRAINING TO USE
00:15:21.60\00:15:27.66
AND BE A GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKER HIMSELF.
00:15:30.66\00:15:34.50
I TOLD HIM THAT IN THE UNITED
STATES I WOULD BE GLAD TO PUT UP
HIS NAME FOR ADOPTION AS A
00:15:34.50\00:15:42.16
WORKER IN TRIPURA.
00:15:42.16\00:15:44.56
WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO
ADOPT HIM OR SOMEONE LIKE HIM?
00:15:44.56\00:15:50.80
ROBICHARAN, LOOK AT THE JOY ON
HIS FACE JOHN AS HE ACCEPTED THE
00:15:50.80\00:15:58.06
LORD JESUS CHRIST. ABSOLUTELY.
00:15:58.06\00:15:59.73
AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO
ASK YOU AS YOU ARE WATCHING

JOHN, IT IS SO EXCITING TO SEE
THESE PEOPLE AND TO HEAR THESE
00:17:37.33\00:17:43.53
PEOPLE. SOMETIMES WE SAY WE'RE
GOING TO GIVE A GIFT AND THEN WE
KIND OF WONDER WHERE IT GOES.
00:17:43.53\00:17:51.46
WELL, THE ROBICHARANS OF
THE WORLD ARE OUT THERE WORKING.
00:17:51.46\00:17:55.90
YOU HAVE ANOTHER VIDEO FOR US.
00:17:55.90\00:17:58.56
WHERE ARE YOU
GOING TO TAKE US NOW?
00:17:58.56\00:18:03.50
YOU MIGHT WONDER HOW GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS GET STARTED
00:18:03.50\00:18:09.56
WITH THEIR WORK. HOW
DO THEY FIND AN INTEREST?
00:18:11.83\00:18:13.06
HOW DO THEY FIND SOMEONE WHO
WANTS TO STUDY THE BIBLE WITH
00:18:13.06\00:18:18.80
THEM? IN THIS NEXT VIDEO IT IS
GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW OUR GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS WORK.
00:18:18.80\00:18:24.86
IT WILL ALSO SHOW A LITTLE
CULTURAL DANCING AS WELL FROM
00:18:27.23\00:18:34.10
THAT AREA. LET ME SHOW YOU.
00:18:34.10\00:18:36.26
WHAT A PROMISING DAY.
00:18:36.46\00:18:38.80
WE WERE TO SEE TWO BAPTISMS AND
WE WERE GREETED WITH TRADITIONAL
00:18:38.80\00:18:45.20
WELCOME DANCERS. WE WERE IN
TRIPURA, NORTHEAST INDIA BUT NOT
FAR FROM THE BANGLADESH BORDER
00:18:45.20\00:18:52.06
AND MYANMAR. THE FIRST BAPTISM
WAS IN THIS VILLAGE WHERE OUR
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER HAD BEEN
00:18:52.06\00:18:59.30
FOR ABOUT T YEAR.
00:18:59.30\00:19:01.03
FOURTEEN WERE BAPTIZED LAST
YEAR AND ANOTHER TEN WERE TO BE
00:19:01.03\00:19:07.60
BAPTIZED TODAY. I WONDERED HOW
HE WAS SO SUCCESSFUL--A CHURCH
FULL OF YOUNG PEOPLE.
00:19:07.60\00:19:13.66
SO BECAUSE OF WHAT JESUS DID ON
THE CROSS, NOW WE CAN BE ADOPTED
00:19:21.00\00:19:27.06
INTO HIS FAMILY. GOD'S FAMILY IS
THE BEST FAMILY TO BE ADOPTED
INTO BECAUSE OUR FATHER GOD IS
00:19:31.30\00:19:37.36
THE KING OF KINGS AND
HE IS THE LORD OF LORDS.
00:19:47.56\00:19:51.50
WELL, THE GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKER'S HOUSE WAS THE VILLAGE
00:19:51.50\00:19:56.53
HANGOUT. BOYS WERE PLAYING
MARBLES, GIRLS WERE PLAYING A
KIND OF FIVE-STONE GAME AND OF
00:19:56.53\00:20:02.56
COURSE, THERE WAWATHE
EVER PULAR GAME OF CRICKET.
00:20:02.56\00:20:05.23
I COULDN'T RESIST JOINING IN.
00:20:05.23\00:20:07.30
OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKER LIVES IN THE SMALL CHURCH
00:20:07.30\00:20:10.93
WHICH IS FAR TOO
SMALL ON SABBATH.
00:20:10.93\00:20:13.73
I HEAR THAT MARANATHA IS COMING
TO BUILD A BIGGER CHURCH LATER
00:20:13.73\00:20:19.40
THIS YEAR. THE CHURCH ELDER HAS
GIVEN THE LAND AND WE WERE OFF
TO HIS FISH POND FOR THE
00:20:19.40\00:20:26.66
BAPTISM. I WONDER HOW MANY MORE
WILL BE BAPTIZED IN THIS VILLAGE
00:20:26.66\00:20:31.90
THIS YEAR. BEJOY, OUR GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKER HAD THE RIGHT
00:20:31.90\00:20:35.80
NAME BECAUSE HE
WAS FUN TO BE AROUND.
00:20:35.80\00:20:38.60
OUR AFTERNOON BAPTISM
WAS IN PENCHATTA VILLAGE.
00:20:38.60\00:20:42.46
THIS IS A BRAND NEW PLACE.
00:20:42.46\00:20:45.33
OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER USED
TO WORK AS A GLOBAL MISSION
PIONEER BUT NOW YOU
00:20:45.33\00:20:52.63
HELP PAY HIS SALARY
THROUGH GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:20:52.63\00:20:56.93
OUR WORKER HAS A SMALL CHURCH IN
THE NEXT VILLAGE BUT HE STARTED
00:20:56.93\00:21:03.43
VISITING PENCHATTA
VILLAGE WITH HIS WIFE.
00:21:03.43\00:21:05.13
THE VILLAGERS LIKED HIM.
00:21:05.13\00:21:06.60
HE MADE FRIENDS AND THEY
STARTED STUDYING TOGETHER.
00:21:06.60\00:21:09.73
THE HEAD MAN IN THE VILLAGE WAS
THE FIRST TO BE BAPTIZED WITH
HIS WIFE, TWO DAUGHTERS
00:21:09.73\00:21:16.33
AND HIS SON.
00:21:16.33\00:21:17.70
TEN MORE FOLLOWED THEIR EXAMPLE.
00:21:17.70\00:21:20.50
WHAT A GOOD GROUP FOR
THE START OF THIS NEW CHURCH.
00:21:20.50\00:21:24.83
AFTER THE LAST ONE WAS BAPTIZED,
ONE LADY SUDDENLY APPEARED AND I
00:21:24.83\00:21:30.90
THOUGHT SHE WAS JUST TOO LATE.
00:21:33.43\00:21:36.26
SHE CAN COME EVERY DAY AND WASH
HERSELF BUT IF SHE HAD COME FOR
THE BAPTISM SHE WOULD
00:21:36.26\00:21:42.40
BE REALLY CLEAN
FROM ALL HER SINS.
00:21:42.40\00:21:46.93
I TOOK A PHOTO OF THIS YOUNG MAN
WHO WANTS TO BE ADOPTED AS A
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER SO
00:21:46.93\00:21:54.43
THAT HE CAN CARE FOR
THIS NEW CHURCH FAMILY.
00:21:54.43\00:21:59.30
WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADOPT A GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKEREROR PENCHATTA
VILLAGE OR SOMEWHERE
00:21:59.30\00:22:05.66
LIKE THIS?
00:22:05.66\00:22:07.66
IT WAS GREAT TO HEAR THE
SINGING IN THE CHURCH JOHN.
00:22:07.66\00:22:12.26
WHERE ARE THESE
PEOPLE LEARNING THE MUSIC?
00:22:12.26\00:22:15.20
ARE THEY
CREATING THEIR OWN MUSIC?
00:22:15.20\00:22:17.70
TELL US HOW THAT WORKS.
00:22:17.70\00:22:19.80
IT'S VERY INTERESTING LISTENING
TO THEM LEARNING NEW HYMNS.
00:22:19.80\00:22:23.56
YOU'LL HAVE A READER, THE DRUM
WILL BE BEATING, THEN SOMEONE
WILL READ OUT ONE LINE THEN
00:22:23.56\00:22:31.00
THE REST OF THE
CHURCH SINGS THAT LINE.
00:22:31.00\00:22:33.23
THEN THE READER WILL READ OUT
ANOTHER LINE AND EVERYONE WILL
00:22:33.23\00:22:37.56
SING THAT LINE. THAT'S HOW
THEY LEARN THEIR NEW HYMNS.
00:22:37.56\00:22:39.56
THEY DON'T HAVE HYMN BOOKS
IN THE CHURCH BUT THEY WILL HAVE
00:22:39.56\00:22:41.90
A READER TO LEAD
THEM IN THE SINGING.
00:22:41.90\00:22:44.33
AND THEY MUST HAVE THE DRUM T
TKEEP THE BEAT AND TO KEEP THE
00:22:44.33\00:22:51.76
MUSIC GOING. YOU MENTIONED A
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER AND A
GOSPEL OUTREACH VOLUNTEER.
00:22:51.76\00:22:58.73
IS THERE A DIFFERENCE?
00:22:58.73\00:23:01.46
NO, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE.
00:23:01.46\00:23:02.86
BUT I DID MENTION A
GLOBAL MISSION WORKER.
00:23:02.86\00:23:06.26
A GLOBAL MISSION WORKER WORKS
THROUGH THE CHURCH ORGANIZATION
00:23:06.26\00:23:12.33
AND GOSPEL OUTREACH IS AN
AUXILIARY HELP TO HELP WITH THE
00:23:18.20\00:23:25.40
WORK. SO YOU HAVE TWO WORKERS
THERE, GLOBAL MISSION AND GOSPEL
OUTREACH BUT THEY ARE BOTH
00:23:25.40\00:23:31.96
ACTUALLY PAID A STIPEND AND THEY
ARE BOTH SUPPORTING THE GENERAL
WORK OF THE CHURCH.
00:23:31.96\00:23:37.30
THEY ARE BOTH TRYING TO SHARE
THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST.
00:23:37.30\00:23:40.53
SAME MISSION.
00:23:40.53\00:23:42.53
YES.
00:23:42.53\00:23:44.16
YOU MENTIONED ABOUT THE HEAD MAN
IN THE VILLAGE AND HE AND HIS
DAUGHTERS WERE BAPTIZED.
00:23:44.16\00:23:49.60
WHAT DOES THE HEAD MAN MEAN?
00:23:52.93\00:23:54.60
IS HE THE MAYOR, THE CHIEF?
00:23:54.60\00:23:56.26
SORT OF, YES, BOTH OF THOSE AND
THE JUDGE IN THE TOWN AS WELL.
00:23:56.26\00:24:00.23
NOW IF THE GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKER CAN GET THROUGH TO THE
HEAD MAN IN THE VILLAGE THEN
00:24:00.23\00:24:04.93
THE REST OF THE VILLAGE WILL
VERY QUICKLY FOLLOW BECAUSEETHED
00:24:04.93\00:24:09.00
HIS LEADERSHIP IN THE VILLAGE.
00:24:09.00\00:24:10.03
SO THAT'S THE STRATEGY.
00:24:10.03\00:24:11.80
IN THAT VILLAGE, FOR
EXAMPLE, WHAT'S THE POPULATION?
00:24:11.80\00:24:15.56
ARE THERE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE?
00:24:15.56\00:24:16.66
VERY SMALL VILLAGES.
00:24:16.66\00:24:20.06
BUT YOU NOTICE THAT IN THAT
FIRST CHURCH WHERE ALL THOSE
YOUNG PEOPLE WERE CROWDED INTO
00:24:20.06\00:24:25.76
THE CHURCH, OBVIOUSLY THE CHURCH
IS NOT BIG ENOUGH FOR WHAT THEY
NEED AT THE MOMENT.
00:24:25.76\00:24:31.20
ALSO THE WORKER IS
LIVING IN THE CHURCH AS WELL.
00:24:31.20\00:24:36.00
DID YOU HEAR THAT MARANATHA,
WHICH IS ANOTHER SUPPORTING
ORGANIZATION OF THE CHURCH, IS
00:24:36.00\00:24:42.70
GOING TO COME THROUGH THIS YEAR
AND THEY ARE GOING TO BUILD THEM
00:24:42.70\00:24:45.76
A NEW AND BIGGER CHURCH.
00:24:45.76\00:24:47.53
PRAISE THE LORD.
00:24:47.53\00:24:49.10
THIS ADOPT-A-WORKER THROUGH
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS REALLY AN
INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY FOR
00:24:49.10\00:24:54.63
PEOPLE HERE IN THE STATES AND
CANADA TO GET INVOLVED AND TO
LITERALLY ADOPT A WORKER
00:24:54.63\00:25:00.13
THROUGH GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:25:00.13\00:25:01.63
YES, BECAUSE YOU SEE WHAT
HAPPENS, IF THEY ADOPT A WORKER
THEN REPORTS WILL BE
00:25:01.63\00:25:06.53
SENT OF WHAT'S ACTUALLY
HAPPENING WITH THAT WORKER THEY
ARE ACTUALLY SUPPORTING
00:25:06.53\00:25:11.80
WITH THEIR MONEY.
00:25:11.80\00:25:13.03
SO THEY WILL HEAR FROM
THAT WORKER AND GET REPORTS AND
00:25:13.03\00:25:19.13
UPDATES? THEY WILL HEAR THROUGH
THE MISSION, NOT DIRECTLY FROM
THE WORKER, HOW HE IS
00:25:19.13\00:25:25.20
PROGRESSING AND HOW
THEIR MONEY IS BEING USED.
00:25:27.30\00:25:31.36
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING US
TO TRIPURA AND FOR SHARING HOW
JESUS WAS SHARED OVER
00:25:31.36\00:25:36.83
TOMATOES AT THE LOCAL MARKET.
00:25:36.83\00:25:39.56
WE ALL NEED TO TAKE EVERY
OPPORTUNITY THAT THE LORD GIVES
US AND FOR THE HOLY
00:25:39.56\00:25:43.66
SPIRIT TO WORK THROUGH US.
00:25:43.66\00:25:45.63

[CLOSING MUSIC]
00:26:25.80\00:26:27.33
GOSPEL OUTREACH BEGAN A MISSION
TWENTY YEARS AGO BY ASKING ONE
00:26:27.33\00:26:28.83
SIMPLE QUESTION. IN A WORLD
FILLED WITH FAMINE, HUNGER AND
STARVATION, WHAT IS JESUS
00:26:28.83\00:26:30.33
WAITITG FOR? IN A WORLD FILLED
WITH EARTHQUAKES, HURRICANES AND
NATURAL CALAMITIES, WHAT IS
00:26:30.33\00:26:32.00
JESUS WAITING FOR?
00:26:32.00\00:26:33.70
THE GOSPEL TELLS US IN MATTHEW
24:14- AND THIS GOSPEL OF THE
KINGDOM SHALL BE PREACHED IN
00:26:33.70\00:26:38.30
ALL THE WORLD FOR A WITNESS UNTO
ALL NATIONS AND THEN SHALL THE
00:26:38.30\00:26:43.66
END COME. INSPIRED BY THOSE
WORDS GOSPEL OUTREACH BEGAN WITH
ONE WORKER AND OVER THE PAST
00:26:45.90\00:26:51.43
TWENTY YEARS HAS GROWN INTO
AN ORGANIZATION WITH TWENTY-TWO
00:26:51.43\00:26:55.83
HUNDRED WORKERS IN
FORTY PLUS COUNTRIES.
00:26:55.83\00:26:57.20
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS AN
INDEPENDENT SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST LAY MINISTRY RUN
00:26:57.20\00:27:01.33
ENTIRELY BY VOLUNTEERS.
00:27:01.33\00:27:03.23
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKS WITH
THE ORGANIZED CHURCH TO SPONSOR
00:27:03.23\00:27:09.20
BIBLE WORKERS IN
THE 10/40 WINDOW.
00:27:09.20\00:27:13.20
WHERE IS THE
10/40 WINDOW ANYWAY?
00:27:13.20\00:27:17.40
THOSE PEOPLE LIVE TOO FAR AWAY.
00:27:17.40\00:27:20.50
SOMEONE ELSE CAN
TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS.
00:27:20.50\00:27:22.30
MAYBE THEY COULD JUST WATCH TV.
00:27:22.30\00:27:25.36
NEARLY THREE
BILLION PEOPLE TO REACH.
00:27:25.36\00:27:28.43
MY HEAD HURTS.
00:27:28.43\00:27:29.96
THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO.
00:27:29.96\00:27:32.53
I GIVE UP.
00:27:32.53\00:27:34.06
WHAT'S THE POINT OF TRYING?
00:27:34.06\00:27:36.76
I CAN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:27:36.76\00:27:38.83
ACTUALLY YOU CAN MAKE A
DIFFERENCE AND JESUS ASKED YOU
TO GO TO ALL THE WORLD.
00:27:38.83\00:27:45.93
WHERE?
00:27:45.93\00:27:46.93
ALL OF THE WORLD.
00:27:46.93\00:27:48.23
HOW CAN I GO I HAVE COMMITMENTS.
00:27:48.23\00:27:51.03
YOU CAN PRAY.
00:27:51.03\00:27:53.10
YOU CAN VOLUNTEER YOUR TALENTS.
00:28:15.26\00:28:16.93
YOU CAN TELL OTHERS.
00:28:16.93\00:28:18.13
YOU CAN GIVE MONEY TO
SPONSOR BIBLE WORKERS.
00:28:18.13\00:28:20.53
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE
SEARCHING FOR HOPE AND MEANING.
00:28:20.53\00:28:23.26
BUT THEY WON'T
FIND IT WITHOUT YOU.
00:28:23.26\00:28:25.36
BE THE SPARK!
