07:56 ALRIGHT. 07:57 WE ARE GOING TO LAUNCH SOME IDEAS THAT GOD WILL HELP. 08:03 SO WHO IS HERE MANZOOR? 08:06 I'M SHOWING SOME OF THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS WHO HAVE GONE THROUGH OUR TRAINING AND HOW 08:14 THEY GO BACK AND THEY TALK TO PEOPLE AND THEY TRY TO REACH PEOPLE WHEREVER THEY ARE. 08:19 SURE. 08:20 IF THEY ARE FARMERS, THEY WILL GO SEE THEM AT THE FARM. 08:22 IF THEY ARE BUSINESS PEOPLE, THEY WILL SEE THEM AT THEIR BUSINESS AND HERE IS SOMEBODY 08:27 WHO IS GOING TO BE STARTING A LITERACY PROGRAM IN THE VILLAGES. 08:32 SO WE TRY TO TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO READ AND WRITE SO THEY CAN READ THE BIBLE AND THAT WAY 08:38 THEY CAN LEARN HOW TO BE COWORKERS WITH THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 08:42 BUT HOW IMPORTANT IS THAT THOUGH, FOR THEM NOT ONLY TO FIND A JOB AND THEN TO TALK TO 08:46 OTHER PEOPLE AND BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT LEARNING TO BE ABLE TO READ. 08:49 THAT IS HUGE. 08:50 OH IT IS. 08:51 IT IS JUST OPENING THEIR EYES. 08:53 ABSOLUTELY. 08:54 YOU KNOW, HERE YOU FIND THE TYPICAL LIFE IN INDIA. 08:57 I LOVE THAT. 08:58 HOW PEOPLE TRAVEL. 08:59 WOW. 08:59 I THINK HERE IS A FARMER GOING TO HIS FARM. 09:06 MANY OF THE THINGS THAT YOU WILL SEE HERE YOU WILL SEE IN NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC. 09:12 HERE IS A FARMER COMING HOME AND HERE YOU SEE AN OPEN MARKET. 09:18 OH, AN OPEN MARKET? 09:20 FOOD IS IN ABUNDANCE. 09:22 NOW, THOSE ARE MUSLIMS. 09:24 YES, LOOK AT THE FIVE PEOPLE ON THE MINIVAN. 09:29 THAT'S THEIR MINIVAN. 09:30 INDIA IS A HIGHLY DIVERSIFIED POPULATION. 09:34 WE HAVE TEN PER CENT OF THE POPULATION IS MUSLIM POPULATION. 09:38 TEN PER CENT? 09:39 THAT'S A HUGE POPULATION. 09:41 YES. 09:42 I WOULD SAY YOU HAVE MORE INDIANS THERE. 09:47 JESUS MOTOR? 09:50 -WHAT DOES IT SAY? 09:51 JESUS MOTOR? 09:52 YES. 09:53 IT IS THE JESUS DRIVING SCHOOL. 09:57 DRIVING SCHOOL? 09:59 YES. 10:01 WELL, I THINK JESUS NEEDS TO BE AT ALL THE HELMS OF OUR CARS, IF YOU WOULD. 10:04 SO HERE YOU FIND, YOU KNOW, MUSLIM ARCHITECTURE. 10:06 IN SOUTHERN INDIA PART, YOU WILL SEE LOTS OF IT. 10:09 THIS IS A HINDU TEMPLE. 10:11 NOW THE MAN HAD RED ON HIS HEAD THAT IS JUST A SYMBOL, A HINDU SYMBOL. 10:15 THE COWS THERE HAVE BLUE ON THEIR HORNS. 10:19 WELL, THAT'S JUST THE COLOR. 10:22 THEN I WAS MENTIONING EARLIER, WE DRILL WATER WELLS, FOR CLEAN WATER, BECAUSE MANY 10:30 TIMES THE PEOPLE WILL GO TO THE RIVER TO GET WATER. 10:35 WATER BORNE ILLNESSES ARE PROBABLY, HUGE, HUGE HEALTH PROBLEMS. 10:39 WHAT ARE THOSE BEANS? 10:40 THAT WAS THE BEANS. 10:42 THEY SPREAD BEAN GREENS ON THE FLOOR, TO DRY? 10:45 IT DRIES UP AND THEN THEY SIFT IT. 10:48 HERE IS A LADY BRINGING FIREWOOD. 10:49 THIS IS ONE OF THE LITTLE ADVENTIST CHURCHES IN THE VILLAGE. 10:54 FOR ABOUT $5000 YOU CAN PUT UP A CHURCH LIKE THIS THAT WILL SEAT ABOUT 200 PEOPLE. 11:02 THIS BOY HERE, WE CAN'T HEAR HIM BUT HE IS SUCH A MUSICIAN. 11:10 IN MOST OF OUR CHURCHES, PEOPLE SIT ON THE FLOOR AND THEY WILL TAKE THEIR SHOES 11:15 OUTSIDE. 11:17 YOU DON'T TAKE YOUR SHOES INTO THE CHURCH IT IS A HOLY PLACE. 11:21 SURE. 11:23 THEY SING LIKE ANGELS, OH MY IT IS SO INSPIRATIONAL TO SEE THESE KIDS, CHILDREN, YOUTH. 11:31 SO YOU MENTION ABOUT THE TEN PER CENT BEING MUSLIM, WHAT IS THE OTHER? 11:35 HINDU OF COURSE. 11:36 HINDUS WILL BE ABOUT 89 PER CENT, YES. 11:40 MAYBE 87 PER CENT AND YOU HAVE 10 PER CENT MUSLIMS AND MAYBE 2.3 PER CENT CHRISTIANS. 11:58 2.3 PERCENT? 11:59 YES. 12:01 THE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST POPULATION IS HARDLY ONE MILLION. 12:01 SO IT IS NOT A VERY LARGE POPULATION. 12:03 SO I THINK WE HAVE OUR WORK CUT OUT. 12:05 ABSOLUTELY. 12:07 BUT THE OPPORTUNITIES TO REACH OUT IN THE VILLAGES IS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL. 12:10 PEOPLE ARE SO HUNGRY TO LISTEN TO THE WORD OF GOD. 12:13 THE GOOD NEWS. 12:14 IT IS THE GOOD NEWS, THAT'S RIGHT. 12:18 SO THE TRAINING, THE TRAINING WAS ABOUT FRIENDSHIP, IT'S ABOUT LEARNING SO THEY ARE 12:24 EQUIPED TO GO BACK TO WHERE THEY LIVE AND TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE HEAR THE GOOD NEWS. 12:29 THAT'S RIGHT, WHAT WE GENERALLY TRAIN THEM IS HOW TO START THE WORK IN NEW 12:34 VILLAGES. 12:36 WE TEACH THEM HOW TO APPROACH THE HEAD OF THE VILLAGE, EXPLAIN TO THEM THAT WE ARE 12:41 SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS AND WE ARE HERE TO SHARE WITH YOU THE GOOD NEWS. 12:49 WOULD YOU LIKE US TO TEACH YOUR PEOPLE ABOUT THE GOOD NEWS? 12:52 HOW DO YOU ARGUE WITH THAT? 12:54 YES AND IF THE PERSON SAYS YES, WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO COME AND SHARE YOUR GOOD NEWS, YOUR 13:01 MESSAGE WITH OUR PEOPLE THEN WE ADOPT THEIR VILLAGE AND BEGIN OUR WORK. 13:05 WE WILL ASSIGN ONE OR TWO GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS AND THEY WILL WORK THERE FOR TWO 13:10 OR THREE MONTHS. 13:11 THEN WE WILL HAVE AN EVANGELIST GO AND CONDUCT AN EVANGELISTIC MEETING. 13:16 THERE IN THE VILLAGE, YES, SO TO SAY "TO HARVEST THE SOULS". 13:20 O.K. 13:21 IF PEOPLE ARE READY THEN THEY WILL BE BAPTIZED. 13:25 SO THAT IS THE PROPER CHANNEL TO GO TO THE HEAD OF THE VILLAGE TO ASK HIS PERMISSION 13:29 TO DO THAT? 13:30 YOU JUST THWART A LOT OF OPPOSITION WHEN YOU DO THAT BECAUSE IN THE VILLAGES THE 13:38 CHIEF OF THE VILLAGE, THEY HAVE A LOT OF POWER. 13:41 OH SURE. 13:42 IF THEY SAY SOMETHING, THAT MEANS A LOT. 13:44 YES. 13:46 THEN AFTER THAT, WE WILL ASK THEM TO DISCOVER THE NEEDS OF THE SOCIETY. 13:53 FIND OUT WHAT ARE SOME OF THE GREATEST NEEDS IN THAT VILLAGE AND MANY PLACES. 13:58 IN FACT, I JUST RECEIVED AN EMAIL THIS WEEK THEY HAVE THIS ENTIRE VILLAGE ABOUT 80 PER 14:06 CENT ARE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST. 14:08 OH. 14:09 YES. 14:10 WE DON'T HAVE ANY DRINKING WATER, COULD YOU FIND SOMEBODY WHO WOULD BE ABLE TO HELP US 14:14 DRILL A WELL? 14:16 I ASKED THEM HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST? 14:18 $1000 AND YOU CAN PUT IN A WELL. 14:21 SO CAN YOU IMAGINE THE ENTIRE VILLAGE WOULD HAVE DRINKING WATER IF SOMEBODY WAS TO PITCH 14:27 IN AND SAY, O.K. 14:28 HERE IS MY THOUSAND DOLLARS TO GET THE WELL DONE. 14:31 YOU KNOW, IT COMES DOWN IN LIFE TO, OFTEN TIMES, THE BASICS THAT I TAKE FOR GRANTED 14:36 WHEN I TURN ON MY FAUCET AND GET A DRINK OF WATER. 14:39 WE HEAR WESTERN CULTURE THAT YOU NEED TO DRINK 8 GLASSES OF WATER A DAY AND SO ON BUT HERE 14:45 WHAT YOU ARE SHARING WITH US THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THAT, THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE A WELL, 14:48 NOT EVEN CLEAN WATER AND ALL OF THAT. 14:50 THEY ARE GOING TO THE RIVER. 14:52 WELL, YOU MENTIONED SOMETHING THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT, CLOSE TO OUR HEARTS, HERE AT GOSPEL 15:08 OUTREACH AND YOU'VE MENTIONED THE WORD ADOPTION. 15:09 WE HAVE A WAY FOR YOU TO ADOPT A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER AND WE HAVE SOME INFORMATION THAT 15:11 WE WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU. 15:12 [VIDEO]. 15:14 GOSPEL OUTREACH BEGAN A MISSION TWENTY YEARS AGO BY ASKING ONE SIMPLE QUESTION. 15:15 IN A WORLD FILLED WITH FAMINE, HUNGER AND STARVATION WHAT IS JESUS WAITING FOR? 15:18 IN A WORLD FILLED WITH EARTHQUAKES, HURRICANES AND NATURAL CALAMITIES, WHAT IS 15:23 JESUS WAITING FOR? 15:25 THE GOSPEL TELLS US IN MATTHEW 24:14 AND THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM SHALL BE PREACHED IN 15:31 ALL THE WORLD FOR A WITNESS UNTO ALL NATIONS AND THEN SHALL THE END COME. 15:38 INSPIRED BY THOSE WORDS, GOSPEL OUTREACH BEGAN WITH ONE WORKER OVER THE PAST TWENTY 15:43 YEARS HAS GROWN INTO AN ORGANIZATION WITH 2200 WORKERS IN 40 PLUS COUNTRIES. 15:50 GOSPEL OUTREACH IS AN INDEPENDENT SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST LAY MINISTRY RUN 15:54 ENTIRELY BY VOLUNTEERS. 15:57 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKS WITH THE ORGANIZED CHURCH TO SPONSOR BIBLE WORKERS IN THE 10/40 16:01 WINDOW. 16:03 NOW, WHAT EXACLTY IS THE 10/40 WINDOW? 16:07 THE 10/40 WINDOW IS A REGION OF THE EASTERN HEMISPHERE LOCATED BETWEEN 10 AND 40 16:11 DEGREES NORTH OF THE EQUATOR. 16:13 WHAT MAKES THIS REGION SPECIAL? 16:16 NINETY SEVEN PER CENT OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WHO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF JESUS LIVE 16:22 HERE. 16:23 NOW HOW EXACTLY DOES GOSPEL OUTREACH WORK TO REACH THESE PEOPLE? 16:26 WE DO THIS BY WORKING WITH THE CHURCH AS IT PLACES TRAINED INDIGENOUS WORKERS IN NEW 16:32 TERRITORIES SENDING OUT DISCIPLES JUST AS JESUS DID. 16:35 WHEN A BIBLE WORKER SPONSORED BY GOSPEL OUTREACH ENTERS A NEW VILLAGE, IT IS ESTIMATED 16:41 THAT IN THE FIRST YEAR AN ADDITIONAL 300 INDIVIDUALS WILL BE BAPTIZED AND COMMIT 16:46 THEIR LIVES TO CHRIST. 16:47 INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE NEVER HEARD THE AMAZING STORY OF GOD'S LOVE ARE GETTING TO MEET 16:53 JESUS FOR THE FIRST TIME. 16:55 NOW HOW CAN YOU HELP? 16:56 BIBLE WORKERS RELY ON SPONSORSHIPS TO SUPPORT THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES AS THEY 17:01 SHARE THE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE OF GOD. 17:05 THIS IS WHY GOSPEL OUTREACH IS INTRODUCING OUR "ADOPT A WORKER PROGRAM" TOGETHER WITH 17:10 THE CHURCH, WE IDENTIFY NEW WORKERS IN AREAS THAT NEED TO BE REACHED AND THAT IS WHY IT 17:15 IS OUR GOAL TO INTRODUCE A MILLION NEW PEOPLE TO JESUS IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS. 17:20 ALL THAT IS REMAINING FOR THIS WORK TO BEGIN IS YOUR FINANCIAL HELP. 17:23 IN RETURN WE WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED ON THE EXCITING PROGRESS OF YOUR WORKER 17:29 SENDING YOU STORIES, PICTURES OF THE LIVES CHANGED BY YOUR DONATIONS. 17:33 THERE ARE THREE WAYS YOU CAN GET INVOLVED: YOU CAN BE A PRAYER PARTNER FOR GOSPEL 17:38 OUTREACH BY PRAYING FOR OUR BIBLE WORKERS. 17:41 SECOND, BECOME AN AMBASSADOR FOR OUR "ADOPT A WORKER PROGRAM" BY TELLING YOUR 17:45 FAMILY AND FRIENDS ABOUT HOW THEY CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE TOO AND FINALLY, SPONSOR A BIBLE 17:51 WORKER. 17:52 CALL OR VISIT THE WEBSITE TODAY. 17:55 SO NOW THAT YOU KNOW A BIT ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH, AND NOW THAT YOU KNOW WHAT JESUS IS 17:59 WAITING FOR, THE FINAL QUESTION IS WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? 18:06 AND WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? 18:08 WHAT A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO BE INVOLVED WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH AND TO "ADOPT A 18:12 WORKER" AND "ADOPT A WORKER PROGRAM" IS REALLY AWESOME AND FOR MORE INFORMATION YOU CAN 18:18 GO TO GOAIM.ORG AND MANZOOR YOU HAVE SOME "ADOPT A WORKERS" WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH 18:30 IN YOUR AREA. 18:32 I HAVE ABOUT 60 WORKERS WHO HAVE BEEN ADOPTED IN EAST CENTRAL UNION AND WE COULD USE 18:36 A THOUSAND MORE. 18:38 I LIKE HOW YOU THINK. 18:40 I LIKE HOW YOU THINK! 18:41 WHAT A CONCEPT. 18:43 SOME MUST GO AND SOME MUST SEND. 18:47 TRUE. 18:48 BECAUSE I DON'T SPEAK THE LOCAL LANGUAGE BUT YET I CAN HELP THE LOCAL PERSON BE A 18:54 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER AND ADOPT THEM. 18:56 YES. 18:57 ON YOUR BEHALF HERE IS THIS PERSON SHARING THE GOOD NEWS. 18:59 YES, THAT YOU WOULD LOVE TO DO IF YOU COULD GO THERE. 19:03 AND I THINK THAT THEY WOULD ASK US, ASK ME TO BE THE PERSON TO SHARE HERE IN MY 19:11 HOMETOWN. 19:12 ABSOLUTELY, IT GOES BACK AND FORTH. 19:14 SO, MANZOOR SHARE WITH US WHAT THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS HERE. 19:18 WELL, OBVIOUSLY OUR ULTIMATE GOAL IS FOR THE FAMILY OF GOD TO BE REUNITED. 19:24 WE WANT EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY FOR WHOM JESUS DIED TO BECOME A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY OF GOD. 19:33 WE WANT THEM TO KNOW JESUS AS THEIR PERSONAL SAVIOR. 19:36 WE WANT THEM TO KNOW THAT GOD IS A LOVING, CARING AND SERVING GOD. 19:41 IN ESSENCE, WE ARE WANTING OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS TO LIVE AND WALK AMONG PEOPLE AND 19:52 SERVE PEOPLE AS IF JESUS IN FLESH WAS GOING DOOR TO DOOR AND SERVING PEOPLE. 19:59 IT IS TRUE SERVICE. 20:01 WE BUILD A BRIDGE THAT PEOPLE CAN WALK OVER THAT BRIDGE AND COME TO YOU AND ASK MORE ABOUT 20:08 WHO IS THIS LOVING JESUS? 20:10 AND THAT IS REALLY OUR GOAL. 20:12 EVERYTHING WE DO IS SIMPLY TO INTRODUCE THEM TO JESUS. 20:16 ABSOLUTELY. 20:17 WE ARE NOT ASKING THEM TO BECOME MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH BUT BECOME MEMBERS OF THE 20:21 FAMILY OF GOD. 20:23 AND SO, THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE FOLLOWING ME THEY NEED TO FOLLOW JESUS. 20:29 THAT IS-YOU NAILED IT BROTHER, YOU NAILED IT. 20:32 YES, THANK YOU. 20:33 ISN'T THAT IT IS ALL ABOUT. 20:34 ABSOLUTELY. 20:36 THAT'S WHAT JESUS DID WHEN HE WAS ON EARTH, HE WENT AND MET THE PEOPLE AT THEIR HOMES, 20:41 MARY AND MARTHA AND ALL THE PEOPLE. 20:44 SO LET ME ASK YOU THIS, FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HINDU TO GRASP JESUS CHRIST AS THE 20:52 MESSIAH IS THAT HARD FOR THEM BECAUSE OF THEIR VIEW, THEIR BELIEFS AS A HINDU? 20:57 WELL, HINDUISM IS A WAY OF LIFE. 21:01 IT IS NOT A RELIGION. 21:03 RIGHT. 21:04 AND EVERYTHING YOU TELL THEM ABOUT NIRVANA, SALVATION, THEY WILL TAKE IT. 21:08 THEY WILL ACCEPT IT. 21:09 THE MORE THE BETTER. 21:11 THE DIFFICULTY IS THEY CAN'T GIVE UP WHAT THEY ALREADY HAVE BUT THEY WANT-WHEN YOU TELL 21:17 THEM ABOUT JESUS THEY LOVE IT. 21:19 SURE. 21:20 HEAP IT ON. 21:21 THEY ENJOY THE STORIES ABOUT JESUS AND SO WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY. 21:24 MANY OF THE THINGS THAT THEY BELIEVE ARE ALREADY IN THE BIBLE. 21:28 OH. 21:29 SO WE TEACH OUR PEOPLE HOW TO USE ALL THESE THINGS THAT THEY ARE PRACTICING AND SHOW THEM 21:34 THAT THEY ARE IN THE BIBLE. 21:35 SURE. 21:37 THIS IS THE GOD YOU HAVE ALREADY BEEN WORSHIPING BUT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT HIM. 21:40 HELLO, NEW CONCEPT. 21:41 IT IS AMAZING. 21:42 WELL LOOK AT THE WATER. 21:43 THEY WORSHIP WATER. 21:45 WHO IS THE WATER OF LIFE? 21:46 JESUS IS THE WATER OF LIFE. 21:49 ABSOLUTELY. 21:50 THEY WORSHIP ROCK, THINKING THAT THAT'S GOD BUT IT IS NOT GOD IT IS A REPRESENTATION OF 21:54 GOD. 21:55 GOD CAN BE IN ANYTHING BUT EVERYTHING DOESN'T BECOME GOD. 21:59 BUT I CAN'T GO AND PRAY TO THE ROCK? 22:02 BUT JESUS IS THE ROCK; SURE HE IS, OF SALVATION. 22:09 ABSOLUTELY. 22:10 SO THEY WORSHIP TREES OR UNDER TREES THINKING THAT IS A SACRED THING AND THAT IS TRUE 22:12 EVEN THE BIBLE SAYS TO ISRAEL, WHEN YOU GO TO THE NEW LAND DON'T CUT THE TREES IN THEM IS 22:16 THE LIFE OF A PERSON. 22:18 WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT HERE IS JESUS IS THE TREE OF LIFE, ISN'T IT? 22:22 ALL THESE REPRESENTATIONS THAT WE HAVE LIKE IN DANIEL AND REVELATION AND THIS IS HOW 22:28 THEY WORSHIP, THESE SYMBOLS. 22:31 EARLY HINDU GURUS GAVE THESE SYMBOLS TO REMIND THEM OF GOD. 22:37 BUT THEN THEY BECAME FIXATED ON THEM. 22:39 THAT'S RIGHT THEY THINK THAT THEN BECOMES GOD. 22:42 RIGHT. 22:43 BUT YOU SEE, WE NEED TO TEACH OUR PEOPLE AND THAT IS WHAT WE WERE DOING THIS TIME THAT THIS 22:48 TRAINING WAS ALL ABOUT TAKING THE THINGS THEY ALREADY BELIEVE IN, SHOW THEM WHERE 22:50 THEY ARE IN THE BIBLE AND TURN THINGS AROUND BY SHOWING THEM -HERE IS GOD THAT YOU HAVE 22:58 BEEN WORSHIPING WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING IT. 23:00 BUT YOU KNOW THAT IS TRUE TOO OF THE IDOLS THAT WE ALL HAVE IN OUR LIVES, DON'T TAKE IT 23:07 FROM ME I WANT THIS AND SURE HEAP IT ON, BRING IT ON SO I CAN'T BE CRITICAL OF SOMEONE 23:12 ELSE LIKE THAT BECAUSE I HAVE ISSUES IN MY LIFE THAT THE LORD HAS TO HELP ME BUT IN A 23:23 RELIGION WHERE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING THERE ARE SO MANY PHYSICAL IDOLS THAT HOW CAN 23:26 YOU BRIDGE THAT GAP?
