[OPENING MUSIC].
00:00:00.66\00:00:16.33
WELCOME TO "ADVENTURES IN
MISSIONS" AT GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:00:16.33\00:00:18.66
I'M JULIE SANDERS KEYMER.
00:00:18.66\00:00:20.70
JESUS TELLS US IN THE BIBLE IN
MARK TO GO INTO ALL THE WORLD
AND PREACH THE GOOD NEWS.
00:00:20.70\00:00:26.56
HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH WE
HAVE AN ACRONYM AND IT'S "GO".
00:00:26.56\00:00:30.33
THAT'S WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS.
00:00:30.33\00:00:31.83
IT SAYS GO.
00:00:31.83\00:00:32.80
SO IT ALL GOES TOGETHER
HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:00:32.80\00:00:35.53
DON HALENZ, YOU ARE HERE, AND
YOU ARE ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO
HAS GONE ON BEHALF OF GOSPEL
00:00:35.53\00:00:40.00
OUTREACH.
00:00:40.00\00:00:41.00
THAT'S RIGHT,
IT'S BEEN MY PRIVILEGE.
00:00:41.00\00:00:42.63
WE THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT,
BECAUSE THE LORD HAS TOLD US
THAT WE NEED TO SHARE THE GOOD
00:00:42.63\00:00:46.80
NEWS OF HIM.
00:00:46.80\00:00:48.33
YOU ARE DOING THAT IN A COUNTRY
CALLED SRI LANKA, AND YOU
RECENTLY RETURNED FROM
00:00:48.33\00:00:54.03
THERE.
00:00:56.03\00:00:57.60
YES, JUST RETURNED ,AND I'D LIKE
TO GIVE A LITTLE TRAVEL REPORT
ON WHAT WE SAW, AND
00:00:57.60\00:01:00.80
WHAT WE DID, AND WHAT
00:01:00.80\00:01:04.83
THE WORKERS ARE
DOING THERE IN SRI LANKA.
00:01:00.80\00:01:04.83
HOW MANY GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS ARE THERE?
00:01:04.83\00:01:07.50
WE HAVE THREE.
00:01:07.50\00:01:08.50
WE DID HAVE FOUR.
00:01:08.50\00:01:10.06
ONE OF THEM DROPPED OUT AND
HASN'T BEEN REPLACED, I'M SORRY
TO SAY, BUT I'M HOPING
00:01:10.06\00:01:16.40
THEY WILL HIRE A NEW WORKER.
00:01:16.40\00:01:18.20
THERE IS A NEW SPIRIT COMING
INTO SRI LANKA, BECAUSE THEY
HAVE GOTTEN A NEW MISSION
00:01:18.20\00:01:22.96
PRESIDENT THERE, AND
HE HAS LOTS OF GOOD IDEAS.
00:01:22.96\00:01:25.66
I THINK THINGS ARE GOING TO GO
FORWARD, AND I'D LIKE TO RESTORE
THAT ONE WORKER, AT
00:01:25.66\00:01:30.76
LEAST, AND MAYBE ADD SOME MORE
IF WE CAN, BECAUSE I THINK THEY
00:01:30.76\00:01:35.53
NEED HELP THERE. TELL US
A LITTLE ABOUT SRI LANKA.
00:01:35.53\00:01:37.63
SRI LANKA IS OFF THE
SOUTH COAST OF INDIA.
00:01:37.63\00:01:40.33
IT'S OUT IN THE INDIAN OCEAN.
00:01:40.33\00:01:42.13
IT'S AN ISLAND COUNTRY.
00:01:42.13\00:01:43.33
IT USED TO BE CALLED CEYLON.
00:01:43.33\00:01:45.10
IT'S NOW CALLED SRI LANKA.
00:01:45.10\00:01:46.93
WE HAVE A MISSION THERE.
00:01:46.93\00:01:48.20
THE MISSION IS NOT ATTACHED
TO THE SOUTHERN ASIA DIVISION
00:01:48.20\00:01:51.13
ANYMORE. IT'S NOW ATTACHED
TO THE SOUTHERN ASIA PACIFIC
00:01:51.13\00:01:54.26
DIVISION. THEY ARE A DETACHED
MISSION, SO THAT'S HOW THEY ARE
ORGANIZED RIGHT NOW.
00:01:54.26\00:01:59.40
THEY ARE STRUGGLING A LITTLE,
BUT THEY ARE DOING BETTER.
00:01:59.40\00:02:04.03
I THINK THERE IS A LOT
OF GOOD HOPE FOR SRI LANKA.
00:02:04.03\00:02:08.70
FOR THE PEOPLE WHO MAY NOT KNOW,
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKS WITH THE
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
00:02:08.70\00:02:14.13
CHRISTIAN CHURCH, WHICH HAS THE
MISSIONS AND DIVISIONS AND ALL
OF THAT, AND WE WORK
00:02:14.13\00:02:19.96
DIRECTLY WITH THEM WITH
THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS.
00:02:19.96\00:02:23.06
WHAT IS ONE OF THE
EXPORTS THAT SRI LANKA HAS?
00:02:23.06\00:02:27.20
TEA IS ONE OF THE MAJOR EXPORTS,
AND I THINK PROBABLY, COCONUT.
00:02:27.20\00:02:31.43
THEY HAVE SOME LOW
LANDS ALONG THE OCEAN.
00:02:31.43\00:02:33.43
THEY HAVE SOME HIGH COUNTRY
WHERE THE BRITISH ESTABLISHED
TEA PLANTATIONS A COUPLE
00:02:33.43\00:02:39.70
HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
00:02:39.70\00:02:40.60
THOSE ARE STILL BEING
USED TODAY FOR EXPORT.
00:02:40.60\00:02:44.86
QUITE A BIT OF THE
ECONOMY FUNCTIONS AROUND TEA.
00:02:44.86\00:02:50.63
I'VE BEEN THERE, AND
IT IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING.
00:02:50.63\00:02:54.20
THERE ARE HILLS AND
HILLS OF THE GREEN TEA.
00:02:54.20\00:02:57.56
WHAT IS THE
INTEREST LIKE IN SRI LANKA?
00:02:57.56\00:03:01.73
ARE PEOPLE
INTERESTED TO KNOW ABOUT JESUS?
00:03:01.73\00:03:05.06
YES THEY ARE INTERESTED.
00:03:05.06\00:03:07.00
THERE IS SOMOMRELIGIOUS
PREJUDICE IN SRI LANKA, AND I'LL
TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE
00:03:07.00\00:03:14.13
BIT LATER.
00:03:14.13\00:03:15.70
THERE IS A LITTLE PREJUDICE, BUT
THERE IS STILL AN OPENNESS AMONG
00:03:15.70\00:03:22.70
MANY PEOPLE IN SRI LANKA, AND
A LOT OF PEOPLE WELCOME GOSPEL
00:03:22.70\00:03:27.46
OUTREACH WORKERS. WE JUST HAVE
THE THREE WORKERS THERE, AND WE
WILL BE DEALING WITH THOSE
00:03:27.46\00:03:33.53
WORKERS A LITTLE BIT LATER.
00:03:35.56\00:03:37.03
THERE IS AN INTEREST, AND I'M
PLEASED TO SAY THAT THE WORK IS
00:03:37.03\00:03:43.66
GOING FORWARD. ONE MAN HAS
TWELVE DIFFERENT COMPANIES HE IS
00:03:43.66\00:03:48.43
STUDYING WITH. YOU HAVE SOME
VIDEOS, SO LET'S TAKE A PEEK.
00:03:48.43\00:03:53.23
THE FIRST PICTURE HERE IS THE
MISSION HEADQUARTERS WHICH IS IN
THE CITY OF COLOMBO.
00:03:53.23\00:04:01.00
THEY HAVE A VERY
NICE OFFICE BUILDING.
00:04:01.00\00:04:04.43
THE CHURCH IS ON THE LEFT.
00:04:04.43\00:04:06.03
THE OFFICE BUILDING IS ON THE
RIGHT, AND THERE ARE OTHER
BUILDINGS OWNED BY OTHERS IN
00:04:06.03\00:04:09.16
THE BACKCKOUND.
00:04:09.16\00:04:10.76
THIS IS THE HOUSE OF THE GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKER IN SRI LANKA, IN
THE CENTRAL NORTHERN
00:04:10.76\00:04:16.90
PART OF THE ISLAND.
00:04:16.90\00:04:18.60
THIS PART OF THE
BUILDING IS USED AS A CHURCH.
00:04:18.60\00:04:22.90
SO HE HAS A CHURCH
ATTACHED TO HIS HOUSE.
00:04:22.90\00:04:26.76
THIS IS THE WORKER AND HIS WIFE.
00:04:26.76\00:04:29.96
THEY MEET WITH
PEOPLE EVERY WEEK.
00:04:29.96\00:04:32.86
WHEN WE WERE THERE, HE TOOK US
OUT TO SEE WHERE THEY HAD
PURCHASED LAND TO BUILD A NEW
00:04:32.86\00:04:39.33
CHURCH, AND HERE IS THE
FOUNDATION OF THE CHURCH.
00:04:39.33\00:04:42.83
THIS CHURCH WAS NOT COMPLETED
OBVIOUSLY, BECAUSE A PRIEST HAD
BROUGHT THE POLICE OUT,
00:04:42.83\00:04:48.33
AND THEY STOPPED
THE WORK-A LOCAL PRIEST.
00:04:48.33\00:04:50.90
THIS HAS NOT
DETERRED OUR WORKER.
00:04:50.90\00:04:53.66
HE IS HOLDING EFFORTS AND
WORKING WITH VARIOUS FAMILIES.
00:04:53.66\00:04:57.30
HERE IS A HOME ON THE
RIGHT SIDE OF THIS PICTURE.
00:04:57.30\00:05:01.83
THIS IS JUST A VILLAGE SCENE.
00:05:01.83\00:05:04.30
HERE IS A GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS
THAT HE IS STUDYING WITH
00:05:04.30\00:05:08.96
CURRENTLY. I THINK A
COUPLE OF THESE ARE BAPTIZED.
00:05:08.96\00:05:11.00
THE REST OF THEM ARE
INTERESTS IN THIS HOME.
00:05:11.00\00:05:12.76
THEY ARE STUDYING HERE AND
00:05:12.76\00:05:16.46
GETTING THEIR PICTURE TAKEN.
00:05:12.76\00:05:16.46
HE IS MOVING IN
BESIDE THEM WITH HIS WIFE.
00:05:16.46\00:05:20.13
HE IS STILL
WORKING WITH THESE PEOPLE.
00:05:20.13\00:05:23.00
I'M PLEASED WITH THE WORK THAT
IS GOING ON THERE, BUT I AM
DISTRESSED THAT THEY STARTED
00:05:23.00\00:05:29.96
TO BUILD A CHURCH
AND IT WAS NOT COMPLETED.
00:05:29.96\00:05:33.66
THERE'S HOPE THOUGH.
00:05:33.66\00:05:35.10
I'M HOPING THAT THE NEW MISSION
PRESIDENT WILL TAKE CHARGE OF
00:05:35.10\00:05:40.66
THIS, AND DO WHATEVER HAS TO
BE DONE TO GET THAT WORK GOING
00:05:40.66\00:05:44.20
AGAIN. THE WORK GOES
BETTER IF WE HAVE A CHURCH.
00:05:44.20\00:05:46.00
PEOPLE LIKE TO BE ABLE TO
IDENTIFY WITH A CHURCH BUILDING.
00:05:46.00\00:05:49.16
WHEN THEY GO TO A HOUSE CHURCH
IT'S OKAY, BUT IT ISN'T REALLY
00:05:49.16\00:05:53.46
ADEQUATE. I'M VERY HOPEFUL THAT
CAN BE REVIVED, AND THAT NEXT
YEAR, MAYBE, THEY WILL HAVE A
00:05:53.46\00:05:59.53
CHURCH BUILDING.
00:06:01.53\00:06:02.53
THAT'S WHERE WE CAN HELP.
00:06:02.53\00:06:03.76
WE CAN HELP WITH RAISING
MONEY TO HELP THEM DO THAT.
00:06:03.76\00:06:09.26
WHAT IS THE MAIN
RELIGION OF SRI LANKA?
00:06:09.26\00:06:12.80
ARE THEY HINDU?
00:06:12.80\00:06:13.80
THEY ARE MAINLY HINDUS.
00:06:13.80\00:06:14.93
IT IS QUITE SIMILAR TO INDIA,
AS FAR AS THE ETHNIC GROUP.
00:06:14.93\00:06:19.83
THE HINDUS ARE STRONG, THE
MUSLIMS ARE STRONG, THE
CHRISTIANS ARE A DEFINITE
00:06:19.83\00:06:25.10
MINORITY, BUT THERE IS A
CHRISTIAN INFLUENCE- THERE IS
SOME INTEREST IN CHRISTIANITY.
00:06:25.10\00:06:30.40
I THINK MANY OF THE PEOPLE ARE
SORT OF HINDUS ON THE BOOKS, BUT
YET THEY ARE NOT REALLY
00:06:30.40\00:06:38.10
HINDUS.
00:06:38.10\00:06:39.10
THEY ARE LOOKING
FOR SOMETHING BETTER.
00:06:39.10\00:06:40.96
IT'S YOUR CULTURE, YOUR
RELIGION, AND MAYBE YOU DON'T
REALLY REALIZE WHY YOU DO WHAT
00:06:40.96\00:06:47.03
YOU DO.
00:06:47.03\00:06:48.00
IT'S JUST BECAUSE WE'VE
ALWAYS DONE IT THAT WAY.
00:06:48.00\00:06:51.50
ITIT WHAHAGRANDMA D OR WHATEVER.
00:06:51.50\00:06:53.96
HOPEFULLY, LEARNING ABOUT JESUS,
THEY WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT VIEW
00:06:53.96\00:06:58.83
ON THAT. I HOPE SO.
00:06:58.83\00:07:00.10
MY WIFE HAD A TALK
WITH A NURSE THERE.
00:07:00.10\00:07:03.76
THIS LADY TOLD MY WIFE, "YOU
KNOW, I'M REALLY A HINDU, BUT I
BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST."
00:07:03.76\00:07:09.83
PRAISE THE LORD.
00:07:10.66\00:07:12.26
IT'S KIND OF A MIXED RELIGION
THERE, BUT THERE IS HOPE THAT
SOME OF THESE PEOPLE CAN
00:07:12.26\00:07:18.80
ACCEPT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AS
THEIR SAVIOR AND FORGET ABOUT
THE OTHER GODS AND OTHER
00:07:18.80\00:07:25.30
RELIGIONS.
00:07:25.30\00:07:26.23
THAT'S WHAT I'M HOPING
CAN HAPPEN IN SRI LANKA.
00:07:26.23\00:07:29.36
AND THE HOLY
SPIRIT WE KNOW IS WORKING.
00:07:29.36\00:07:32.60
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:07:32.60\00:07:33.53
HE IS WORKING, AND
THINGS ARE MOVING FORWARD.
00:07:33.53\00:07:36.73
WHERE ELSE ARE YOU TAKING US?
00:07:36.73\00:07:38.70
THE NEXT VIDEO STARTS OUT
WITH SORT OF A SAD SITUATION.
00:07:38.70\00:07:42.30
WE WERE RIDING IN THIS
VAN AND IT WENT OFF THE ROAD.
00:07:42.30\00:07:46.23
THE DRIVER FELL ASLEEP,
THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER FELL
00:07:46.23\00:07:49.50
ASLEEP. WE WERE IN THE
BACK WITH NO SEAT BELTS ON.
00:07:49.50\00:07:52.76
WE WENT ACROSS THE
ROAD TO THE RIGHT HAND SIDE.
00:07:52.76\00:07:56.03
YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A VEHICLE
APPROACHING IN THE DISTANCE.
00:07:56.03\00:07:59.30
THERE WAS NO VEHICLE COMING.
00:07:59.30\00:08:00.93
WE HIT A STUMP; THE BACK END
FLEW AROUND, MY WIFE HIT HER
HEAD RATHER SHARPLY ON THE
00:08:00.93\00:08:06.86
WINDOW MAKING A
GASH OVER AN INCH LONG.
00:08:06.86\00:08:09.83
FORTUNATELY THERE WAS A
GOVERNMENT HOSPITAL ABOUT A MILE
00:08:09.83\00:08:13.40
DOWN THE ROAD. THEY TOOK MY WIFE
00:08:13.40\00:08:16.63
IN THERE, AND THE
DOCTOR SPOKE VERY GOOD ENGLISH.
00:08:13.40\00:08:16.63
THAT'S WHERE SHE MET THE LADY
WHO SAID SHE WAS A HINDU BUT SHE
BELIEVED IN JESUS CHRIST.
00:08:16.63\00:08:21.56
I JUST WANT TO SAY, I THINK
THE LORD PROTECTED US IN THIS.
00:08:21.56\00:08:25.16
THIS WASN'T JUST A LUCKY THING.
00:08:25.16\00:08:26.80
THE LORD PROTECTED US.
00:08:26.80\00:08:28.00
HE KEPT US SAFE, AND WE
WERE NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED.
00:08:28.00\00:08:32.76
HERE WE ARE GOING UP
INTO THE HIGH TEA COUNTRY.
00:08:32.76\00:08:36.36
THERE WAS THIS LOVELY
WATER FALL COMING DOWN.
00:08:36.36\00:08:38.86
WE STOPPED FOR JUST A
MINUTE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
00:08:38.86\00:08:42.60
AS WE SAW THIS WATER FALL ,I
THOUGHT IT WAS A NICE SHOT SO WE
00:08:42.60\00:08:48.46
TOOK IT. WE WENT ON, AND HERE
WERE THE TEA PICKERS ON THE TEA
PLANTATION OUT THEHE GATHERING
00:08:48.46\00:08:55.00
THE TEA LEAVES, WORKING HARD.
00:08:55.00\00:08:57.16
THEY PICK, AND THEY PICK, THEN
THEY PUT THE TEA LEAVES OVER
THEIR SHOULDER IN THEIR SACK.
00:08:57.16\00:09:01.83
HERE WE ARE ON OUR WAY
WALKING UP TO A VILLAGE HOME.
00:09:01.83\00:09:05.76
THERE WAS A YOUNG BOY, WHO WE
WILL SEE IN A MOMENT, WHO HAD A
00:09:05.76\00:09:11.30
WITHERED ARM. WE HAD SPECIAL
PRAYER FOR THE YOUNG FELLOW.
00:09:11.30\00:09:15.86
EVERYTHING IS ON A
HILLSIDE IN THIS TEA COUNTRY.
00:09:15.86\00:09:20.96
IT'S ALL UPHILL OR DOWNHILL.
00:09:20.96\00:09:23.83
HERE WE ARE ENTERING THE HOME.
00:09:23.83\00:09:25.96
THE WORKER IS GOING AHEAD IN THE
WHITE SHIRT WITH A BAG OVER HIS
00:09:25.96\00:09:32.03
SHOULDER. THIS IS THE YOUNG
FELLOW WITH A WITHERED ARM.
00:09:34.20\00:09:36.43
HE IS GETTING THERAPY FOR
IT, AND I HOPE IT IS GOING TO BE
00:09:36.43\00:09:40.53
OKAY. WE HAD SPECIAL PRAYER
FOR HIM WHILE WE WERE THERE.
00:09:40.53\00:09:43.13
HERE THE GOSPEL L TREACH WORKER
IS HOLDING A SERIES OF MEETINGS
00:09:43.13\00:09:48.50
WITH THE FAMILY. HE IS ABOUT
TO ENTER THE HOME AND HAVE A
00:09:48.50\00:09:53.63
MEETING WITH THEM. I HOPE LUKE 6
WAS READ TO THAT YOUNG MAN,
WHERE JESUS HELPED THE MAN WITH
00:09:53.63\00:09:59.26
THE SHRIVELED HAND AND
HEALED HIM ON THE SABBATH DAY.
00:09:59.26\00:10:02.70
HERE IS THE MEETING GOING ON.
00:10:02.70\00:10:05.13
HE IS SPEAKING TO THE PEOPLE.
00:10:05.13\00:10:07.60
IT'S A LITTLE SESSION THEY
PUT ON WHILE WE WERE THERE.
00:10:07.60\00:10:12.26
YOU'RE UP IN THE MOUNTAINS
WITH THE TEA PLANTATIONS?
00:10:12.26\00:10:16.13
WE'RE UP IN THE TEA PLANTATIONS.
00:10:16.13\00:10:18.70
MANY OF THESE HOMES ARE
OWNED BY THE TEA PLANTATION.
00:10:18.70\00:10:22.96
THEY ARE NOT
OWNED BY THE WORKERS.
00:10:22.96\00:10:25.96
THEY PAY RENT AND LIVE IN THIS,
SORT OF LIKE ,COMPANY HOUSING.
00:10:25.96\00:10:31.40
THEY BUY THEIR GROCERIES AT THE
COMPANY STORE,;THEY STAY IN THE
00:10:31.40\00:10:35.33
COMPANY HOUSING. THEY DEDUCT
FROM THEIR SALARY THE AMOUNT OF
MONEY THEY CHARGE AT THE STORE.
00:10:35.33\00:10:40.40
SO AT THE END OF THE MONTH, THEY
HAVE VERY LITTLE LEFT TO LIVE
00:10:40.40\00:10:43.40
ON. IT GETS TO BE AN
ISSUE FOR SOME OF THEM.
00:10:43.40\00:10:45.40
BUT THE WORK IS GOING ON THERE.
00:10:45.40\00:10:47.93
THIS IS THE MAN WHO HAS
12 DIFFERENT COMPANIES HE IS
00:10:47.93\00:10:50.80
VISITING. EVERY SABBATH
HE VISITS THREE DIFFERENT
00:10:50.80\00:10:54.16
COMPANIES. IN ONE MONTH H
HGETS AROUND TO ALL OF THEM.
00:10:54.16\00:10:56.96
IT'S A TREMENDOUS LOAD.
00:10:56.96\00:10:58.50
I THINK OVER A HUNDRED PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED IN THESE 12
DIFFERENT COMPANIES.
00:10:58.50\00:11:03.53
HE IS ALL ALONE THERE.
00:11:03.53\00:11:05.33
THERE IS NO OTHER
PASTOR THERE WORKING WITH HIM.
00:11:05.33\00:11:08.60
HE IS DOING A
WONDERFUL WORK THERE.
00:11:08.60\00:11:11.13
DOES HE WALK BETWEEN
ALL THESE DIFFERENT GROUPS?
00:11:11.13\00:11:14.03
DOES HE HAVE A MOTORCYCLE?
00:11:14.03\00:11:15.83
THIS MAN HAS TO TAKE
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.
00:11:15.83\00:11:18.36
HE GETS AROUND
THE BEST WAY HE CAN.
00:11:18.36\00:11:21.26
I THINK HE HAD A MOTORCYCLE AT
ONE TIME, BUT IT IS NOT WORKING
ANYMORE, AND THEY SAID
00:11:21.26\00:11:27.76
IT WAS NOT WORTH FIXING.
00:11:27.76\00:11:29.56
THE SALARIES ARE SO LOW, HE
CAN'T AFFORD TO GET ANOTHER
MOTORCYCLE, SO IT'S A PROBLEM
00:11:29.56\00:11:35.36
FOR HIM IN TRANSPORTATION.
00:11:35.36\00:11:36.93
WE'VE HAD AN APPEAL FROM ONE OF
THE MISSION PRESIDENTS TO PLEASE
00:11:36.93\00:11:42.60
SEND MONEY TO BUY
BICYCLES FOR THE WORKERS.
00:11:42.60\00:11:44.03
THAT WAS IN INDIA.
00:11:44.03\00:11:45.50
THEY HAVE A PROBLEM
WITH TRANSPORTATION.
00:11:45.50\00:11:47.66
MAYBE SOME OF THE VIEWERS WHO
ARE HEARING RIGHT NOW MAY BE
WANTING TO BUY SOME BICYCLES.
00:11:47.66\00:11:53.76
I HOPE SO, HAVING BEEN IN SRI
LANKA WHEN I WAS A STUDENT
MISSIONARY AND GOING UP
00:11:53.76\00:12:00.76
THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS AND ALL OF
THAT ON THE VERY NARROW ROADS.
00:12:00.76\00:12:03.43
THEY HAVE KIND OF A SYSTEM ON
THEIR HORN THAT SAYS I'M COMING
00:12:03.43\00:12:09.50
THROUGH. HOW MANY
BEEPS I DON'T REMEMBER.
00:12:45.53\00:12:46.46
I WAS WIDE EYED IN THE
BACK SEAT SAYING, "WOW!"
00:12:46.46\00:12:48.16
VERY WONDERFUL-BUT AT THE SAME
TIME WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO GO TO
ALL THESE DIFFERENT GROUPS,
00:12:48.16\00:12:49.10
THAT TAKES A LOT OF TIME.
00:12:49.10\00:12:50.76
IT CAN BE A LITTLE BIT SCARY,
AND YOU JUST HOPE YOUR DRIVER
STAYS AWAKE IF YOU'RE RIDING
00:12:50.76\00:12:51.76
IN A CAR.
00:12:51.76\00:12:52.76
LET'S BRING UP
SOMETHING TO THE VIEWERS.
00:12:52.76\00:12:53.76
WE HAVE A WONDERFUL
PROGRAM CALLED ADOPT-A-WORKER.
00:12:53.76\00:12:55.36
YOU CAN ADOPT A WORKER AND I
KNOW THAT DON IN HIS TERRITORY
OF SRI LANKA WOULD LOVE TO
00:12:55.36\00:12:56.10
HAVE YOU SPONSOR
AN ADOPT-A-WORKER.
00:12:56.10\00:12:57.03
THAT'S WHERE YOU GET
REPORTS FROM YOUR WORKER.
00:12:57.03\00:12:58.13
YOU FIND OUT WHAT YOUR
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER IS DOING.
00:12:58.13\00:12:58.70
IT'S A WONDERFUL PROGRAM.
00:12:58.70\00:12:59.50
WE HAVE SOME MORE
INFORMATION FOR YOU.
00:12:59.50\00:13:01.90
GOSPEL OUTREACH BEGAN A MISSION
TWENTY YEARS AGO BY ASKING ONE
00:13:01.90\00:13:03.40
SIMPLE QUESTION. IN A WORLD
FILLED WITH FAMINE, HUNGER AND
STARVATION, WHAT IS JESUS
00:13:03.40\00:13:04.90
WAITING FOR? IN A WORLD FILLED
WITH EARTHQUAKES, HURRICANES AND
NATURAL CALAMITIES, WHAT IS
00:13:04.90\00:13:05.33
JESUS WAITING FOR?
00:13:05.33\00:13:07.00
THE GOSPEL TELLS US IN MATTHEW
24:14 "AND THIS GOSPEL OF THE
KINGDOM SHALL BE PREACHED IN
00:13:07.00\00:13:10.13
ALL THE WORLD FOR A WITNESS
00:13:10.13\00:13:15.50
UNTO ALL NATIONS AND
THEN SHALL THE END COME."
00:13:10.13\00:13:15.50
INSPIRED BY THOSE WORDS GOSPEL
OUTREACH BEGAN WITH ONE WORKER,
00:13:17.76\00:13:22.70
AND OVER THE PAST TWENTY YEARS
HAS GROWN INTO AN ORGANIZATION
WITH TWENTY-TWO HUNDRED WORKERS
00:13:22.70\00:13:28.66
IN FORTY PLUS COUNTRIES.
00:13:28.66\00:13:30.06
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS AN
INDEPENDENT SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST LAY MINISTRY, RUN
00:13:30.06\00:13:33.10
ENTIRELY BY VOLUNTEERS.
00:13:33.10\00:13:36.10
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKS WITH THE
ORGANIZED CHURCH TO SPONSOR
WINDOW.ORKERS IN THE 10/40
00:13:40.63\00:13:42.30
NOW, WHAT EXACTLY
IS THE 10/40 WINDOW?
00:13:42.30\00:13:46.00
THE 10/40 WINDOW IS A REGION OF
THE EASTERN HEMISPHERE LOCATED
00:13:46.00\00:13:50.66
BETWEEN 10 AND 40
DEGREES NORTH OF THE EQUATOR.
00:13:50.66\00:13:52.06
WHAT MAKES THIS REGION SPECIAL?
00:13:52.06\00:13:55.46
NINETY-SEVEN PERCENT OF ALL THE
PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WHO HAVE
NEVER HEARD THE NAME OFF
00:13:55.46\00:13:59.46
JESUS LIVE HERE.
00:13:59.46\00:14:01.66
NOW HOW EXACTLY DOES GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORK TO REACH THESE
00:14:01.66\00:14:05.83
PEOPLE? WE DO THIS BY WORKING
WITH THE CHURCH AS IT PLACES
TRAINED INDIGENOUS WORKERS IN
00:14:05.83\00:14:12.53
NEW TERRITORORS-SENDING OUT
DISCIPLES JUST AS JESUS DID.
00:14:12.53\00:14:15.60
WHEN A BIBLE WORKER SPONSORED BY
GOSPEL OUTREACH ENTERS A NEW
VILLAGE, IT IS ESTIMATED
00:14:15.60\00:14:20.00
THAT IN THE FIRST YEAR, AN
ADDITIONAL THREE HUNDRED
INDIVIDUALS WILL BE BAPTIZED
00:14:20.00\00:14:24.53
AND COMMIT
THEIR LIVES TO CHRIST.
00:14:24.53\00:14:26.80
INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE NEVER HEARD
THE AMAZING STORY OF GOD'S LOVE
ARE GETTING TO MEET
00:14:26.80\00:14:32.43
JESUS FOR THE FIRST TIME.
00:14:32.43\00:14:34.43
NOW HOW CAN YOU HELP?
00:14:34.43\00:14:35.90
BIBLE WORKERS RELY ON
SPONSORSHIPS TO SUPPORT THEM AND
THEIR FAMILIES AS THEY
00:14:35.90\00:14:40.53
SHARE THE
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE OF GOD.
00:14:40.53\00:14:44.20
THIS IS WHY GOSPEL OUTREACH IS
INTRODUCING OUR ADOPT-A-WORKER
00:14:44.20\00:14:48.43
PROGRAM. TOGETHER WITH THE
CHURCH WE IDENTIFY NEW W
WKERSRSN ARARS AT N ND TOTOE
00:14:48.43\00:14:53.56
REACHED. THAT IS WHY IT IS OUR
GOAL TO INTRODUCE A MILLION NEW
PEOPLE TO JESUS IN THE NEXT
00:14:53.56\00:14:57.90
THREE YEARS.
00:14:57.90\00:14:59.23
ALL THAT IS REMAINING FOR THIS
WORK TO BEGIN IS YOUR FINANCIAL
00:14:59.23\00:15:02.73
HELP. IN RETURN, WE WILL KEEP
YOU UPDATED ON THE EXCITING
PROGRESS OF YOUR WORKER,
00:15:02.73\00:15:08.86
SENDING YOU STORIES AND PICTURES
OF THE LIVES CHANGED BY YOUR
00:15:08.86\00:15:12.93
DONATIONS. THERE ARE
THREE WAYS YOU CAN GET INVOLVED.
00:15:12.93\00:15:16.16
YOU CAN BE A PRAYER PARTNER FOR
GOSPEL OUTREACH BY PRAYING FOR
00:15:16.16\00:15:20.83
OUR BIBLE WORKERS. SECOND,
BECOME AN AMBASSADOR FOR OUR
ADOPT-A-WORKER PROGRAM BY
00:15:20.83\00:15:25.23
TELLING YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
ABOUT HOW THEY CAN MAKE A
00:15:25.23\00:15:28.10
DIFFERENCE TOO. AND
FINALLY, SPONSOR A BIBLE WORKER.
00:15:28.10\00:15:31.06
CALL OR VISIT
THE WEB SITE TODAY.
00:15:31.06\00:15:34.26
SO, NOW THAT YOU KNOW A BIT
ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH, AND NOW
THAT YOU KNOW WHAT JESUS IS
00:15:34.26\00:15:38.46
WAITING FOR, THE FINAL QUESTION
IS, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
00:15:38.46\00:15:45.40
AND WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
00:15:45.40\00:15:46.80
I PRAY THAT THE LORD IMPRESSES
YOU TO GET INVOLVED WITH GOSPEL
00:15:46.80\00:15:51.10
OUTREACH. IT IS SUCH A FANTASTIC
ORGANIZATION, BECAUSE WE'RE ALL
WORKING FOR THE "MAN
00:15:51.10\00:15:55.83
UPSTAIRS", AND WE'D LOVE
FOR HIM TO COME BACK SOON.
00:15:55.83\00:15:59.53
IN ORDER TO DO THAT,
WE HAVE TO DO OUR PART.
00:15:59.53\00:16:01.73
WE DO HAVE GOOD NEWS, AND WE
NEED TO SHARE THAT WITH PEOPLE
ALL AROUND THE WORLD, AND
00:16:01.73\00:16:05.73
SPECIFICALLY, WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT THE ISLAND COUNTRY OF SRI
LANKA-A BEAUTIFUL PLACE.
00:16:05.73\00:16:12.03
DON HALENZ, YOU ARE HERE,
AND WE THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
00:16:12.03\00:16:16.26
YOU'RE SHARING ABOUT
THE NEEDS IN SRI LANKA.
00:16:16.26\00:16:19.06
THESE PEOPLE NEED A CHURCH
BUILT, THEY NEED BICYCLES,
MOTORCYCLES, MOTOR SCOOTERS,
00:16:19.06\00:16:23.30
WHATEVER, SO THEY CAN
GET AROUND A LITTLE FASTER.
00:16:23.30\00:16:26.46
WE HAVE THREE
WORKERS IN SRI LANKA.
00:16:26.46\00:16:28.93
TWO OF THEM HAVE A MOTORCYCLE,
ONE OF THEM HAS NOTHING RIGHT
NOW AND HE HAS THE BIGGEST
00:16:28.93\00:16:35.26
TERRITORY.
00:16:35.26\00:16:36.90
HE IS HAVING TO GET AROUND WITH
THE LOCAL T TNSPORTATION THE
BEST HE CAN, DOING WHAT'S
00:16:36.90\00:16:41.23
ON HIS HEART TO DO FOR THE LORD.
00:16:41.23\00:16:44.06
YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT SOME
OF THE THINGS THAT ARE NEEDED.
00:16:44.06\00:16:47.93
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT, BUT
OBVIOUSLY, WE WOULD HOPE THAT
YOU WOULD HAVE MORE GOSPEL
00:16:47.93\00:16:53.20
OUTREACH WORKERS.
00:16:53.20\00:16:54.20
YOU WERE TALKING
ABOUT SOME TRAINING.
00:16:54.20\00:16:56.03
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE WORKERS
IN SRI LANKA RECEIVE TRAINING.
00:16:56.03\00:17:00.33
THEY WERE ALL SCATTERED WIDELY,
SO WE WEREN'T ABLE TO HOLD THE
TRAINING SESSIONS FOR
00:17:00.33\00:17:05.60
THEM LIKE WE DID IN INDIA.
00:17:05.60\00:17:07.70
BUT THEY NEED TRAINING TOO.
00:17:07.70\00:17:09.46
THEY ARE GOOD PEOPLE;
THEY ARE GOOD WORKERS.
00:17:09.46\00:17:12.30
THEY NEED TO GET TOGETHER WITH
OTHER WORKERS, AND GET THE
INSPIRATION OF MEETING WITH
00:17:12.30\00:17:17.56
OTHER WORKERS, AND GET TRAINING,
AND LEARN HOW TO BE BETTER
00:17:17.56\00:17:22.13
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS.
00:17:22.13\00:17:23.70
I'M HOPING THAT CAN HAPPEN
ANOTHER YEAR FROM NOW, OR MAYBE
DURING THE YEAR, IF THE
00:17:23.70\00:17:28.13
LOCAL PEOPLE CAN DO IT.
00:17:28.13\00:17:29.90
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:17:29.90\00:17:31.30
DOES THAT MEAN
FINANCIAL SUPPORT?
00:17:31.30\00:17:33.06
DOES IT MEAN
ORGANIZING AN EVENT?
00:17:33.06\00:17:35.16
IT MEANS LARGELY ORGANIZING AN
EVENT AND SOME FINANCIAL
SUPPORT, BECAUSE IT COSTS TO
00:17:35.16\00:17:40.10
BRING THEM IN FROM
WHEREVER THEY ARE TO A CENTER.
00:17:40.10\00:17:44.53
THE EXPENSE WOULDN'T BE LARGE.
00:17:44.53\00:17:46.46
IT WOULD MOSTLY BE THE LOGISTICS
OF PUTTING IT TOGETHER, GETTING
00:17:46.46\00:17:50.06
SPEAKERS AND A PROGRAM PUT
TOGETHER, AND MAKE IT HAPPEN.
00:17:50.06\00:17:52.93
TO MAKE IT HAPPEN
IS WHAT IT'S ABOUT.
00:17:52.93\00:17:56.30
WHAT LANGUAGE DO THE
PEOPLE SPEAK IN SRI LANKA?
00:17:56.30\00:17:59.93
IS THERE A
COMBINATION OF ENGLISH,/TAMIL?
00:17:59.93\00:18:02.43
I BELIEVE IT'S A COMBINATION.
00:18:02.43\00:18:04.43
THE ONES IN THE NORTH
ARE MORE TAMIL SPEAKING.
00:18:04.43\00:18:08.23
THE ONES IN THE SOUTH,
I'M NOT SURE WHAT THEY SPEAK.
00:18:08.23\00:18:10.70
ENGLISH IS SPOKEN QUITE WIDELY
AROUND COLOMBO, BUT IT'S NOT THE
ONLY LANGUAGE BY A LONG
00:18:10.70\00:18:16.26
WAYS.
00:18:16.26\00:18:17.86
SO I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT
WOULD BE THE KEY LANGUAGE TO
HAVE A TRAINING SESSION IN.
00:18:17.86\00:18:22.06
SO, THAT'S ANOTHER WHOLE
ELEMENT OF COMMUNICATION.
00:18:22.06\00:18:24.50
LIKE THE APOSTLE PAUL IN HIS
WRITINGS, IT WAS ALL ABOUT
ENCOURAGININEACH OTHER AND THE
00:18:24.50\00:18:30.06
BELIEVERS.
00:18:30.06\00:18:31.06
WE NEED TO DO
THAT AMONGST OURSELVES.
00:18:31.06\00:18:32.83
THEY SPEAK THE LANGUAGE;D TO
THEY LIVE THERE; THEY KNOW THE
CULTURE; THEY KNOW THE PEOPLE.
00:18:38.76\00:18:43.96
THEY CAN BE FAR MORE
EFFECTIVE THAN YOU AND I CAN BE.
00:18:43.96\00:18:48.16
AND THAT'S ONE OF THE BIG
PLUSES OF GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:18:48.16\00:18:51.63
YES, THAT'S THE MAIN
THING OF GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:18:51.63\00:18:54.40
WE'RE HIRING LOCAL
WORKERS TO DO THE WORK.
00:18:54.40\00:18:57.20
FOR YOU OR FOR ME, WE WOULD
HAVE TO HAVE, HOW MANY YEARS OF
00:18:57.20\00:19:02.83
LANGUAGE TRAINING? AND WE STILL
WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING.
00:19:02.83\00:19:04.90
AFTER YEARS OF LANGUAGE STUDY,
WE WOULD BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND,
BUT WE WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND THE
00:19:04.90\00:19:10.13
WHOLE THING.
00:19:10.13\00:19:11.06
WE CAN DO THAT NOW
THANKS TO GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:19:11.06\00:19:13.93
YOU HAVE ANOTHER VIDEO?
00:19:13.93\00:19:15.33
LET'S LOOK AT ANOTHER VIDEO.
00:19:15.33\00:19:17.66
THIS IS GOING DOWN TO
VISIT ANOTHER WORKER IN THE TEA
00:19:17.66\00:19:22.46
PLANTATION. THIS GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKER IS ONE OF THE TALENTED
00:19:22.46\00:19:25.86
WORKERS. HE HAS A
MOTORCYCLE TO GET AROUND WITH.
00:19:25.86\00:19:33.16
THIS HOUSE IS A LITTLE BIT
BETTER THAN SOME OF THE HOUSES
WHERE THEY ARE MEETING.
00:19:33.16\00:19:36.80
HE HAS A GOOD LITTLE
GROUP MEETING TOGETHER THERE.
00:19:36.80\00:19:39.90
LOOK AT THE KIDS.
00:19:39.90\00:19:41.56
YES, THERE ARE LOTS OF KIDS.
00:19:41.56\00:19:44.03
WE WE'RE PLEASED
WITH ALL THE KIDS.
00:19:44.03\00:19:46.90
IF THESE KIDS COULD ALL BECOME
CHURCH MEMBERS IT WOULD BE A
00:19:46.90\00:19:52.66
WONDERFUL THING. BUT AT LEAST
THEY ARE HEARING THE GOSPEL.
00:19:52.66\00:19:55.96
THEY KNOW ABOUT THE GOSPEL.
00:19:55.96\00:19:58.03
THEY ARE EXPERIENCING IT.
00:19:58.03\00:19:59.70
THAT'S A
WONDERFUL THING FOR THEM.
00:19:59.70\00:20:02.16
IS THAT A BIBLE
IN THEIR LANGUAGE?
00:20:02.16\00:20:05.03
YES.
00:20:05.03\00:20:06.36
THIS YOUNG WOMAN, PRAYING,
WAS READING FROM THE BIBLE A BIT
00:20:06.36\00:20:10.20
EARLIER. THEY ARE DEVOTED.
00:20:10.20\00:20:11.63
THEY MAKE GOOD CHRISTIANS WHEN
THEY BECOME BAPTIZED AND WORK
00:20:11.63\00:20:16.36
FOR THE LORD. HERE HE IS
SPEAKING AGAIN TO THE GROUP
GIVING A LITTLE SERMON ON SOME
00:20:16.36\00:20:21.43
BIBLE TOPIC. I COULDN'T
UNDERSTAND WHAT HE WAS SAYING,
BUT I KNOW IT WAS GOOD.
00:20:21.43\00:20:24.10
IN EVERY HOME WHERE WE VISITED
THERE WAS USUALLY SOMEBODY WHO
NEEDED SPECIAL PRAYER.
00:20:24.10\00:20:30.16
THE MAN SITTING TO HIS LEFT ON
THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE
SPEAKER IN T T PINK SHIRT,
00:20:30.16\00:20:35.13
THEY ARE HAVING
SPECIAL PRAYER FOR HIM.
00:20:35.13\00:20:37.53
THE MISSION
PRESIDENT IS PRAYING FOR HIM.
00:20:37.53\00:20:39.73
THE SABBATH SCHOOL
SUPERINTENDENT FROM THE MISSION
WAS PRAYING FOR HIM,
00:20:39.73\00:20:44.76
AND THE WORKER
WAS PRAYING FOR HIM.
00:20:44.76\00:20:47.96
THIS OCCURS OVER AND OVER AGAIN
WHERE THESE PEOPLE NEED SPECIAL
00:20:47.96\00:20:53.46
PRAYER. I'M GLAD WE CAN DO THAT
AS WE'RE GOING AROUND VISITING
HERE AND THERE WITH THE
00:20:53.46\00:20:56.90
WORKERS.
00:20:56.90\00:20:57.90
HERE THEY ARE LEAVING THE HOME.
00:20:57.90\00:20:59.96
NOW WE GO TO ONE MORE
HOME IN JUST A MINUTE.
00:20:59.96\00:21:02.90
HERE WE ARE
WALKING UP FROM THE VAN.
00:21:02.90\00:21:04.73
WE DROVE AS FAR AS WE COULD.
00:21:04.73\00:21:06.50
WE'RE WALKING UP THE
HILL TOWARD THE HOME.
00:21:06.50\00:21:09.10
THIS HOME WAS SPONSORING
READINGS IN THEIR HOME, WHERE
WE'RE GOING TO VISIT IN JUST A
00:21:09.10\00:21:14.60
LITTLE BIT.
00:21:14.60\00:21:15.66
THEY OPENED THEIR HOME AND HAD
THE NEIGHBORS COME IN, AND THE
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER WAS
00:21:18.03\00:21:23.10
HOLDING MEETINGS THERE.
00:21:23.10\00:21:24.70
IN JUST A MOMENT YOU'LL SEE IN
THE UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER OF
THE PICTURE TWO HOUSES.
00:21:24.70\00:21:32.43
THE HOUSE WAY IN THE
BACKGROUND HAS NO ROOF ON IT.
00:21:32.43\00:21:37.60
YOU CAN SEE A CORNER OF
THE HOUSE STICKING OUT THERE.
00:21:37.60\00:21:42.73
WHAT HAPPENED?
00:21:42.73\00:21:43.73
THERE WAS A FIRE.
00:21:43.73\00:21:45.53
AFTER THIS FAMILY SPONSORED
MEETINGS IN THEIR HOME SOMEONE,
WE DON'T KNOW WHO, OR
00:21:45.53\00:21:51.26
WHAT, OR HOW, OR WHY, OR WHAT
HAPPENED, BUT SOMEONE CAME ANDNY
00:21:51.26\00:21:56.10
WERE GONE.
00:21:56.10\00:21:57.10
THEY ARE STILL FAITHFUL.
00:21:57.10\00:21:59.23
THEY STILL HOLD MEETINGS.
00:21:59.23\00:22:01.53
HERE'S THE HOUSE FROM INSIDE.
00:22:01.53\00:22:03.83
MY WIFE IS STANDING THERE.
00:22:03.83\00:22:04.73
THE LADY OF THE
HOUSE IS IN THE BACK THERE.
00:22:04.73\00:22:06.46
THERE IS NO ROOF.
00:22:06.46\00:22:08.13
THE TEA PLANTATION HAS REFUSED
TO PUT A NEW ROOF ON IT, SO THEY
MOVED INTO THIS TAR PAPER
00:22:08.13\00:22:15.63
BUILDING NEXT DOOR TO WHERE
THEIR BURNED OUT HOUSE IS, AND
THEY ARE HAVING MEETINGS
00:22:15.63\00:22:21.43
THERE.
00:22:21.43\00:22:22.96
THERE'S PLASTIC SHEETING AROUND
THE WALLS, AND PUT TOGETHER
WHATEVER THEY COULD.
00:22:22.96\00:22:26.46
WHEN I WAS IN SRI LANKA, IT WAS
OCTOBER/NOVEMBER AND IT WAS
REALLY WARM DOWN IN
00:22:26.46\00:22:32.66
COLOMBO, BUT UP IN THE TEA
PLANTATIONS, I REMEMBER IT WAS
00:22:32.66\00:22:37.30
COLD. YES, AND THEY
HAVE TO SLEEP ON THE FLOOR.
00:22:37.30\00:22:40.80
HERE HE'S PLAYING HIS
TAMBOURINE, AND THEY ARE
00:22:40.80\00:22:44.26
SINGING. THEY
HAVE TO JUST GET BUY.
00:22:44.26\00:22:46.26
THAT'S THE
KITCHEN IN THE BACKGROUND.
00:22:46.26\00:22:47.83
THAT'S ALL THEY
HAVE TO LIVE WITH.
00:22:47.83\00:22:50.16
AND, BLESS THEIR HEARTS, THEY
ARE JUST GETTING BY AS BEST THEY
00:22:50.16\00:22:56.06
CAN. I'M VERY PLEASED TO SAY
THAT FUNDS HAVE BEEN RAISED NOW
TO RENT A HOUSE WHERE THIS
00:22:56.06\00:23:02.56
FAMILY CAN MEET FOR CHURCH,
SO THEY WON'T HAVE TO USE THEIR
00:23:02.56\00:23:06.60
HOUSE ANYMORE. THEY CAN HAVE IT
IN A NEUTRAL PLACE, SO THERE
WON'T BE PREJUDICE AGAINST THEM.
00:23:06.60\00:23:10.03
WE JUST WANT TO
PRAY FOR THESE PEOPLE.
00:23:10.03\00:23:13.26
AND WE'LL PRAY FOR THE TEA
PLANTATION OWNER TO PUT A NEW
00:23:13.26\00:23:19.30
ROOF BACK ON. YES, BECAUSE
THEY DON'T HAVE THE MONEY.
00:23:19.30\00:23:22.10
THE HUSBAND WORKED IN COLOMBO;
THE WIFE IS WORKING AS A
00:23:22.10\00:23:26.93
PLANTER. THIS LITTLE GIRL
WAS WAVING HER ARMS LIKE CRAZY.
00:23:26.93\00:23:30.53
THEY HAVE NO MONEY TO REBUILD
THE HOUSE, AND THE TEA
PLANTATION SAYS THEY WON'T DO
00:23:30.53\00:23:36.96
IT.
00:23:36.96\00:23:37.96
THE HUSBAND IS WITHOUT WORK.
00:23:37.96\00:23:39.40
THE SON HAD TO QUIT SCHOOL
BECAUSE HIS BOOKS WERE BURNED
00:23:39.40\00:23:44.10
UPUP THEY SAID THE ONLY BOOK IN
THE HOUSE THAT WASN'T BURNED WAS
00:23:44.10\00:23:46.73
THE BIBLE.
EVERYTHING ELSE WAS BURNED.
00:23:46.73\00:23:48.26
THE CLOTHES THEY HAVE ARE WHAT
THEY HAD ON THEIR BACKS OR WHAT
00:23:48.26\00:23:53.90
WAS GIVEN TO THEM.
GOD PROTECTED THE BIBLE.
00:23:56.30\00:23:58.06
IT'S A FAIRLY
DESPERATE SITUATION.
00:23:58.06\00:23:59.10
I'M HOPING THEY CAN GET
THIS STRAIGHTENED OUT SOON.
00:23:59.10\00:24:00.23
AT LEAST THEY DO HAVE A
PLACE WHERE THEY CAN WORSHIP.
00:24:00.23\00:24:02.30
THAT'S ONE STEP FORWARD THAT WE
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO FOR THEM.
00:24:02.30\00:24:05.96
BUT GOD PROTECTED THE E BLE.
00:24:05.96\00:24:07.43
YES.
00:24:07.43\00:24:08.93
YOU HEAR THAT STORY ONCE IN A
WHILE- SOMETHING BURNS, BUT THE
00:24:08.93\00:24:14.50
BIBLE SURVIVES.
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED HERE.
00:24:19.23\00:24:20.53
THE POWER OF THE
WORD OF THE LORD.
00:24:20.53\00:24:23.10
YOU WONDER IF THE TEA
PLANTATION WAS INVOLVED.
00:24:23.10\00:24:25.66
WHO KNOWS?
00:24:25.66\00:24:26.56
THEY MIGHT NOT WANT
TO BE ON THE HOOK FOR IT.
00:24:26.56\00:24:29.86
WHO KNOWS WHAT THE STORY IS?
00:24:29.86\00:24:31.80
WE CAN SUSPICION THERE
WAS PREJUDICE, BUT THAT'S ONLY
00:24:31.80\00:24:35.03
SUSPICION. WE DON'T KNOW.
00:24:35.03\00:24:36.63
THINKING ABOUT THE DEDICATION OF
THIS FAMILY AND HOW LITTLE THEY
00:24:36.63\00:24:41.16
HAVE WOULD I BE AS DEDICATED
AS THEY ARE IF THE TABLES WERE
00:24:41.16\00:24:44.06
TURNED? IF I HAD TO LIVE IN THAT
KIND OF SITUATION, WOULD I BE
WILLING TO CARRY ON AND BE A
00:24:44.06\00:24:50.50
LOYAL ADVENTIST AND
HAVE PEOPLE COME TO MY HOME?
00:24:50.50\00:24:53.40
I JUST DON'T KNOW.
00:24:53.40\00:24:54.63
I THINK I COULD, BUT IT'S
A QUESTION FOR EACH OF US TO
00:24:54.63\00:24:59.20
ANSWER. WHAT IS OUR LEVEL OF
DEDICATION TO THE LORD'S WORK?
00:24:59.20\00:25:02.50
IT GOES BACK TO "IT'S NOT THIS,"
"IT'S NOT THAT," "I DON'T HAVE
00:25:02.50\00:25:07.66
ENOUGH," "IT'S NOT THE RIGHT
TIME" OR WHATEVER WE COME UP
WITH, FORTY-SEVEN HUNDRED
00:25:07.66\00:25:11.53
EXCUSES. WHAT A TESTIMONY TO US.
00:25:11.53\00:25:13.13
THIS IS WONDERFUL, DON.
00:25:13.13\00:25:14.43
YOU WERE GOING TO SAY SOMETHING
ABOUT THAT LITTLE GIRL.
00:25:14.43\00:25:17.66
SHE WAS THROWING UP HER ARMS AND
WAVING TO US AS WE WERE LEAVING
00:25:17.66\00:25:22.80
THE PLANTATION. SHE WAS
BASICALLY INVITING US TO COME
00:25:22.80\00:25:25.40
BACK. SHE WAS WAVING, SO I
COULDN'T GET A PICTURE WITHOUT
THE HAND IN FRONT OF HER FACE.
00:25:25.40\00:25:30.86
I GOT ONE BLURRY PICTURE
AND SAID, "I'LL RUN IT ANYWAY."
00:25:30.86\00:25:34.43
THAT WAS AN INDICATION TO ME
THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WOULD
LIKE TO SEE US BACK IN
00:25:34.43\00:25:40.23
THOSE VILLAGES WORKING FOR THEM.
00:25:40.23\00:25:41.73
THANK YOU, TO YOU AND YOUR WIFE,
FOR ALL THAT YOU ARE DOING ON
00:25:41.73\00:25:47.33
BEHALF OF GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:25:47.33\00:25:48.33
I KNOW THE LORD
IS VERY GRATEFUL.
00:25:48.33\00:25:49.90
I KNOW THE GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS ARE ENCOURAGED WHEN YOU
00:25:49.90\00:25:53.76
SHOW UP. YES, I THINK SO.
00:25:53.76\00:25:55.06
MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU.
00:25:55.06\00:25:56.63
WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT SEVERAL
NEEDS, BUT WHAT IS MAYBE THE
LARGEST NEED THAT YOU CAN
00:25:56.63\00:26:02.66
THINK OF.
00:26:02.66\00:26:04.33
THE LARGEST NEED RIGHT NOW IS
TRAINING FOR WORKERS, TO BRING
THEM IN FOR A PERIOD OF TIME
00:26:04.33\00:26:08.83
WHERE THEY CAN BE UPDATED IN
THEIR BELIEFS AND LEARN BASIC
00:26:08.83\00:26:13.20
THINGS. IN SOME CASES THEY ARE
ASKED TO CONDUCT FUNERAL
SERVICES AND OTHER THINGS.
00:26:13.20\00:26:19.33
HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
00:26:19.33\00:26:21.13
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY HAVE EVER
BEEN TRAINED TO DO THESE THINGS.
00:26:21.13\00:26:25.76
USUALLY AN ORDAINED MINISTER
WILL COME IN AND DO THE LORD'S
SUPPER, BUT THEY NEED TO
00:26:25.76\00:26:31.46
UNDERSTAND SOME OF
THESE THINGS AND HOW TO DO IT.
00:26:31.46\00:26:35.00
WELL, THOSE ARE BASIC
THINGS THAT PASTORS SHOULD KNOW.
00:26:35.00\00:26:38.43
WE'LL PRAY FOR YOU, AND
FOR MORE FUNDS TO COME IN.
00:26:38.43\00:26:40.46
AND THAT'S WHERE
YOU CAN BE INVOLVED.
00:26:40.46\00:26:41.76
WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR
DONATIONS TO GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:26:41.76\00:26:44.10
PLEASE THINK OF THE PEOPLE UP
THERE IN THE TEA PLANTATIONS IN
SRI LANKA, HIGH IN THE
00:26:44.10\00:26:48.00
MOUNTAINS.
00:26:48.00\00:26:49.46
WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATIONS,
AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO TALKING
00:26:49.46\00:26:52.26
WITH YOU AND RECEIVING THOSE.
00:26:52.26\00:26:53.86
ON BEHALF OF "ADVENTURES IN
MISSIONS" AND GOSPEL OUTREACH,
I'M JULIE SANDERS KEYMER.
00:26:53.86\00:26:59.40
MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU TODAY.
00:27:04.46\00:27:09.06
[CLOSING MUSIC].
00:27:09.06\00:27:10.60
I NEED TO SPREAD
THE GOSPEL HERE AT HOME.
00:27:10.60\00:27:16.66
WHERE IS THE
10/40 WINDOW ANYWAY?
00:27:17.53\00:27:22.20
THOSE PEOPLE LIVE TOO FAR AWAY.
00:27:22.43\00:27:25.53
SOMEONE ELSE CAN
TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS.
00:27:25.53\00:27:27.33
MAYBE THEY COULD JUST WATCH TV.
00:27:27.33\00:27:30.40
NEARLY THREE
BILLION PEOPLE TO REACH.
00:27:30.40\00:27:33.46
MY HEAD HURTS.
00:27:33.46\00:27:35.00
THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO.
00:27:35.00\00:27:37.56
I GIVE UP.
00:27:37.56\00:27:39.10
WHAT'S THE POINT OF TRYING?
00:27:39.10\00:27:41.80
I CAN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:27:41.80\00:27:43.86
ACTUALLY YOU CAN MAKE A
DIFFERENCE AND JESUS ASKED YOU
TO GO TO ALL THE WORLD.
00:27:43.86\00:27:50.96
WHERE?
00:27:50.96\00:27:51.96
ALL OF THE WORLD.
00:27:51.96\00:27:53.30
HOW CAN I GO I HAVE COMMITMENTS.
00:27:53.30\00:27:56.10
YOU CAN PRAY.
00:27:56.10\00:27:57.23
YOU CAN VOLUNTEER YOUR TALENTS.
00:28:20.30\00:28:21.53
YOU CAN TELL OTHERS.
00:28:21.53\00:28:22.43
YOU CAN GIVE MONEY TO
SPONSOR BIBLE WORKERS.
00:28:22.43\00:28:23.90
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE
SEARCHING FOR HOPE AND MEANING.
00:28:23.90\00:28:25.66
BUT THEY WON'T
FIND IT WITHOUT YOU.
00:28:25.66\00:28:27.06
BE THE SPARK!
00:28:27.06\00:28:28.06
LIGHT THE FIRE!
00:28:28.06\00:28:29.06
FINISH THE WORK!
00:28:29.06\00:28:30.03
