Welcome to adventures in
Missions with Gospel Outreach.
00:00:16.98\00:00:19.61
I'm Julie Saunders Keymer
and if you are not familiar
00:00:19.64\00:00:21.70
with Gospel Outreach, we
are layman's organization
00:00:21.73\00:00:24.50
that helps the Seventh-Day
Adventists Christian churches
00:00:24.53\00:00:26.81
spread the love of
the Lord Jesus Christ
00:00:26.84\00:00:28.80
in the 10/40 Window.
00:00:28.83\00:00:30.54
The 10/40 Window
is an area 10 degrees
00:00:30.57\00:00:33.10
up to 40 degrees
north of the equator
00:00:33.13\00:00:35.18
and it runs the gamut from
Africa all the way to Japan.
00:00:35.21\00:00:39.20
It is heavily, heavily populated
00:00:39.23\00:00:41.22
and that's where we have
our Gospel Outreach workers
00:00:41.25\00:00:44.02
and that's where we
are going to go today
00:00:44.05\00:00:45.76
to one of the
countries in the 10/40 Window.
00:00:45.79\00:00:48.39
And we have Fred Webb here.
00:00:48.42\00:00:49.73
And Fred, you are in
charge of Gospel Outreach work
00:00:49.76\00:00:52.56
in the
Philippines. That's right.
00:00:52.59\00:00:53.97
Well, welcome to
Adventures in Missions.
00:00:54.00\00:00:55.38
Thank you.
00:00:55.41\00:00:56.44
So Fred, you go and you check in
00:00:56.47\00:00:58.28
with the Gospel Outreach workers
00:00:58.31\00:00:59.67
and they are contracted through
the local mission, is that true?
00:00:59.70\00:01:03.12
Yes.
00:01:03.15\00:01:04.21
And so then they are
checking in the missions
00:01:04.24\00:01:06.03
and all of that but
then you also are involved
00:01:06.06\00:01:08.35
in encouraging the
Gospel Outreach workers
00:01:08.38\00:01:10.64
and the processes?
00:01:10.67\00:01:12.41
Yes, I go once a
year for two reasons,
00:01:12.44\00:01:15.47
one to make sure
that the people are doing
00:01:15.50\00:01:18.25
what they are supposed to do.
00:01:18.28\00:01:19.31
Because the donors
donate for us to be done
00:01:19.34\00:01:22.80
they want to know
that their money is doing
00:01:22.83\00:01:25.28
what it supposed to do.
00:01:25.31\00:01:27.34
And the other reason of course
00:01:27.37\00:01:29.05
is to encourage
and to get information
00:01:29.08\00:01:32.11
so they can come
back and make this report
00:01:32.14\00:01:33.62
so that the donor
see what's happening.
00:01:33.65\00:01:35.57
Absolutely, well why
don't you share with us
00:01:35.60\00:01:37.72
some of the pictures that you
have taken on your last trip?
00:01:37.75\00:01:39.97
Okay, we are gonna start
of with a little map here
00:01:40.00\00:01:41.95
to show you where
the Philippines are
00:01:41.98\00:01:43.45
in relation to China in north
00:01:43.48\00:01:45.20
and that big island down
in the south here is Brunei.
00:01:45.23\00:01:48.90
South of--to the
right of that is Indonesia,
00:01:48.93\00:01:53.36
Singapore is
straight across to the left.
00:01:53.39\00:01:56.82
The Philippines is a group
of islands, its 7,105 island.
00:01:56.85\00:02:01.77
7,105. I'm not sure if
its high tide or low tide.
00:02:01.80\00:02:05.44
Okay. They are not all
inhabited, I don't think.
00:02:05.47\00:02:08.71
But it's a large
number of islands.
00:02:08.74\00:02:11.09
We are going to start out
today on the island of Palawan.
00:02:11.12\00:02:14.01
Palawan is probably the
most pristine island remaining.
00:02:14.04\00:02:17.83
Why do you say that?
00:02:17.86\00:02:19.01
It is not been
damaged as much by humans.
00:02:19.04\00:02:23.10
It's more
pristine, it's beautiful.
00:02:23.13\00:02:25.95
Andy Magbanua and
his wife Bernadette
00:02:25.98\00:02:28.64
have been working with Gospel
Outreach now for 16 years.
00:02:28.67\00:02:33.05
Now Andy doesn't
have a college education.
00:02:33.08\00:02:35.85
He would like to but
he didn't have the money
00:02:35.88\00:02:38.37
so he has never been
able to finish college
00:02:38.40\00:02:40.17
but in 16 years,
he and Bernadette
00:02:40.20\00:02:43.08
have raised up eight churches.
00:02:43.11\00:02:44.97
Wow, and here he is taking
blood pressure pluses, right?
00:02:45.00\00:02:47.10
He is taking blood pressure
that's the way he works.
00:02:47.13\00:02:50.10
He is hands on, he
takes care of the needs
00:02:50.13\00:02:54.03
of the people,
whatever they might be.
00:02:54.06\00:02:56.02
And I could tell
you some miracle stories
00:02:56.05\00:02:57.86
but I don't think I
have time today for--
00:02:57.89\00:02:59.54
for one but--he has--
00:02:59.57\00:03:04.14
We know the Lord is working.
00:03:04.17\00:03:05.27
He has done very, very good.
00:03:05.30\00:03:07.30
And Bernadette works
with cute little kids.
00:03:07.33\00:03:11.03
Cute, little girl. And she is
so good with them and she just--
00:03:11.06\00:03:13.93
she gets the children
coming and then the parents say,
00:03:13.96\00:03:16.60
we better go find out
what these kids are learning.
00:03:16.63\00:03:18.73
And they come and Andy
starts giving Bible studies,
00:03:18.76\00:03:21.80
next thing you know,
they have another baptism.
00:03:21.83\00:03:24.68
Here Andy is giving a
Bible study in a new area
00:03:24.71\00:03:27.22
that he is just gone to
in January of this year.
00:03:27.25\00:03:30.03
This is area of Dumarao in
the Northern part of Palawan,
00:03:30.06\00:03:35.68
near the larger town of Roxas.
00:03:35.71\00:03:38.02
Roxas. Now what do
people do for work here?
00:03:38.05\00:03:40.06
Are they--do they
fish, do they farmers?
00:03:40.09\00:03:41.56
Many of them are fishermen.
00:03:41.59\00:03:43.09
Yeah, farmers and fisherman,
that's really all that is there.
00:03:43.12\00:03:47.95
This lady was a
Seventh-day Adventist
00:03:47.98\00:03:51.87
but as she grew up,
she married a fellow
00:03:51.90\00:03:55.77
who was not a member of the
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:03:55.80\00:03:57.88
and she eventually drifted away.
00:03:57.91\00:04:00.71
In her later years now
she has been saying you know,
00:04:00.74\00:04:03.85
may be I should go back and--
00:04:03.88\00:04:05.99
and join the
Seventh-day Adventist church.
00:04:06.02\00:04:08.36
The Lord is
knocking on her heart.
00:04:08.39\00:04:09.65
If God sends
somebody here I would accept.
00:04:09.68\00:04:12.51
Oh, really that's what she said?
00:04:12.54\00:04:14.22
And Andy Magbanua was
assigned to work in her village.
00:04:14.25\00:04:18.88
And the rest is history.
00:04:18.91\00:04:19.94
And the rest is
history, she is very active now
00:04:19.97\00:04:23.19
and encouraging her
neighbors to come and join.
00:04:23.22\00:04:27.15
These are you can't see it very
well there its kind of dark,
00:04:27.18\00:04:29.65
but these are the Gospel
Outreach workers in Palawan.
00:04:29.68\00:04:33.15
They work together quite a bit
00:04:33.18\00:04:34.37
and they like
to sing and so here
00:04:34.40\00:04:35.89
they are singing
for the-- for the group
00:04:35.92\00:04:37.88
that met there on
that day in the town.
00:04:37.91\00:04:41.00
This is the house
that one of the members
00:04:41.03\00:04:45.80
interested people live in.
00:04:45.83\00:04:46.86
They are not members yet
00:04:46.89\00:04:47.92
they have only
been there for one month
00:04:47.95\00:04:50.15
but they own the little hut
00:04:50.18\00:04:52.64
that you saw Andy
is sitting in there
00:04:52.67\00:04:54.11
and giving the Bible study
00:04:54.14\00:04:55.44
and they have made this
available to him and at no cost.
00:04:55.47\00:04:58.76
How nice, what's the
population of this island, Fred?
00:04:58.79\00:05:02.13
Is it heavily populated is it?
00:05:02.16\00:05:05.10
I wouldn't say
it's heavily populated
00:05:05.13\00:05:07.06
but yeah, there are
several fairy large towns.
00:05:07.09\00:05:10.04
Roxas is a large town and
Puerto Princesa, Brooke's Point.
00:05:10.07\00:05:16.51
So we are not
talking a little -ator
00:05:16.54\00:05:18.71
or something like
that, its pretty good size.
00:05:18.74\00:05:19.90
No, it's a long strength
bearing Advent island if you--
00:05:19.93\00:05:22.88
We saw the map.
Saw the map there.
00:05:22.91\00:05:25.23
The man in the blue there
00:05:25.26\00:05:26.40
is also one of our
Gospel Outreach workers
00:05:26.43\00:05:28.04
but not assigned in this area.
00:05:28.07\00:05:29.49
These two ladies are members
of the kagawad. What's that?
00:05:29.52\00:05:33.60
I knew you would ask that
question, its the city council.
00:05:33.63\00:05:38.13
It's what they call Barangay
00:05:38.16\00:05:40.16
and Barangay is
just a small village.
00:05:40.19\00:05:44.85
The--the areas are
divided up into municipalities
00:05:44.88\00:05:49.40
and then the Barangay's
are parts of that municipality.
00:05:49.43\00:05:54.27
So, is that a paid
position, a volunteer position?
00:05:54.30\00:05:56.59
It's an elected position.
00:05:56.62\00:05:57.65
Oh, it's an
elected position, okay.
00:05:57.68\00:05:59.37
And so it's something
they--they like to get into
00:05:59.40\00:06:01.39
and I presume that there
is some pay that goes with it.
00:06:01.42\00:06:04.19
But, they were
very happy to come
00:06:04.22\00:06:06.53
and represent
the Barangay councils
00:06:06.56\00:06:09.07
to our meeting that day.
00:06:09.10\00:06:12.02
Here they all sitting around--
00:06:12.05\00:06:14.94
oh no that's not a potluck yet
00:06:14.97\00:06:17.19
but its--they are
there for the meeting
00:06:17.22\00:06:20.90
and we are giving some talks.
00:06:20.93\00:06:23.09
This is one of the kagawad,
00:06:23.12\00:06:24.87
is giving her
talk to the people,
00:06:24.90\00:06:26.77
saying how much she appreciates
00:06:26.80\00:06:28.19
and how much she
enjoys being there.
00:06:28.22\00:06:31.88
And of course they
always ask me to say a few words
00:06:31.91\00:06:33.98
and I have to be translated.
00:06:34.01\00:06:36.70
So you don't have to say
very much to take up sometime.
00:06:36.73\00:06:40.09
Well, this is to end.
00:06:40.12\00:06:41.15
The Filipino's
they are joyful people,
00:06:41.18\00:06:43.85
they are happy they are--
00:06:43.88\00:06:45.47
And very friendly and warm. Yes.
00:06:45.50\00:06:47.75
And they you know,
when a white man shows up
00:06:47.78\00:06:50.84
in the village
everybody wants to come see.
00:06:50.87\00:06:52.29
Yeah, who is this guy?
00:06:52.32\00:06:53.42
Yeah, and I'm usually taller
than anyone they've seen before.
00:06:53.45\00:06:57.16
Oh, cute. And
there are cute kids.
00:06:57.19\00:06:59.51
And, you know,
boys would be boys
00:06:59.54\00:07:01.10
no matter where
they are in the world.
00:07:01.13\00:07:02.42
He was climbing a tree out there
00:07:02.45\00:07:03.83
and he had mischief
in all over his face.
00:07:03.86\00:07:05.60
Doesn't he? That's cute.
00:07:05.63\00:07:07.37
But our Gospel Outreach workers.
00:07:07.40\00:07:08.95
Very nice.
00:07:32.92\00:07:33.99
So, they as we
see they like go out
00:07:34.02\00:07:38.13
and do some, serenading.
00:07:38.16\00:07:42.36
3 o'clock in the
morning they will go out
00:07:42.39\00:07:44.44
and they will sing
and they will wake up
00:07:44.47\00:07:47.85
the people at 3
o'clock in the morning
00:07:47.88\00:07:49.25
and sing for them and
the people enjoy that.
00:07:49.28\00:07:51.17
They come out and they will--
00:07:51.20\00:07:53.82
they come and open the door
00:07:53.85\00:07:55.04
and they listen
to the music and--
00:07:55.07\00:07:58.57
That's very kind
Fred, because I'm not sure
00:07:58.60\00:08:00.82
if I had people show
up at my door 3 o'clock
00:08:00.85\00:08:03.59
I don't know what to do.
00:08:03.62\00:08:04.90
They will even feed them
at that time in the morning.
00:08:04.93\00:08:06.58
Bless their heart.
00:08:06.61\00:08:08.82
So, here they are
standing outside, serenading.
00:08:08.85\00:08:11.44
I have been
serenaded many times.
00:08:11.47\00:08:13.71
So, what time do the people
get up there? I mean are they?
00:08:13.74\00:08:16.82
Normally they get up
about 4 or 5 o'clock.
00:08:16.85\00:08:18.60
Okay, so, this is--
00:08:18.63\00:08:20.10
They go to bed early
when the light go out.
00:08:20.13\00:08:21.68
When the lights go,
time to go to bed so.
00:08:21.71\00:08:25.05
So, here they are
sitting around sinning
00:08:25.08\00:08:27.22
after they have been
invited into the house.
00:08:27.25\00:08:29.36
And they will continue to sing
00:08:29.39\00:08:30.52
and they will have a worship
service there and here is the--
00:08:30.55\00:08:36.43
Gospel Outreach
workers giving a bible study.
00:08:36.46\00:08:38.74
I love that, talk
about inviting yourself
00:08:38.77\00:08:40.69
over with all your friends.
00:08:40.72\00:08:41.92
Yeah. I love it.
00:08:41.95\00:08:44.70
Come, join us at your house.
00:08:44.73\00:08:45.83
Yeah, exactly and hey,
00:08:45.86\00:08:47.40
let's study the
word of the Lord.
00:08:47.43\00:08:50.40
But, again working
with the youth is a--
00:08:50.43\00:08:52.42
is a big thing and
they enjoy getting together,
00:08:52.45\00:08:56.75
he does not only-- not
only something's like this
00:08:56.78\00:08:59.71
but he takes them out
and they have enjoyable times
00:08:59.74\00:09:03.43
in the beach and playing games
00:09:03.46\00:09:05.26
and this really keeps
the young people going.
00:09:05.29\00:09:08.65
That's fantastic, well, and it
00:09:08.68\00:09:10.70
and it builds
friendships and all of that.
00:09:10.73\00:09:14.30
Okay, we are going now
to Central Luzon Conference,
00:09:14.33\00:09:17.84
which is on the
main island of Luzon
00:09:17.87\00:09:20.79
and this is where
Manila is located.
00:09:20.82\00:09:22.53
Oh, good.
00:09:22.56\00:09:23.60
Just to the-- just to the right
00:09:23.63\00:09:25.62
of where it says conference
there those large letters.
00:09:25.65\00:09:28.23
That's where Manila is.
00:09:28.26\00:09:29.29
That's where Manila
is located on Manila bay
00:09:29.32\00:09:32.06
and there we have--we have
a work among the Aeta people
00:09:32.09\00:09:36.75
but not only among
Aetas, couple of years ago,
00:09:36.78\00:09:41.09
three years ago I think it was,
00:09:41.12\00:09:42.80
they decided to
hold some meetings
00:09:42.83\00:09:44.31
in the town called Ko Lanta.
00:09:44.34\00:09:47.41
They ended up working
with a group of ladies
00:09:47.44\00:09:50.28
who were ladies of the night.
00:09:50.31\00:09:54.84
When I came there
a few months later
00:09:54.87\00:09:56.84
I was asked to speak
for their church service
00:09:56.87\00:09:59.18
and it was being
held in a videoke bar
00:09:59.21\00:10:02.55
and the audience was
these former prostitutes.
00:10:02.58\00:10:05.30
Well, praise the
Lord you were preaching
00:10:05.33\00:10:07.10
to those ladies
the word of the Lord.
00:10:07.13\00:10:10.05
And those I said
former prostitutes. Yeah.
00:10:10.08\00:10:12.25
They gave up their livelihood
00:10:12.28\00:10:14.11
and accept Jesus as their Savior
00:10:14.14\00:10:16.46
and we are core of
beginning a new church.
00:10:16.49\00:10:18.80
But they
probably had other friends
00:10:18.83\00:10:20.11
who they can minister to too.
00:10:20.14\00:10:21.68
Right. Well, this
is one of those ladies.
00:10:21.71\00:10:23.97
Okay. And she now has
a husband and a family
00:10:24.00\00:10:28.40
and they are
living-- they were giving
00:10:28.43\00:10:32.43
this piece of
property and place to live,
00:10:32.46\00:10:34.69
a beautiful piece of property
00:10:34.72\00:10:36.23
with lots and lots of potential.
00:10:36.26\00:10:37.80
Given by who?
00:10:37.83\00:10:39.28
They are just allowed to
live there just as caretakers.
00:10:39.31\00:10:42.12
Well, okay. And
their house isn't very nice
00:10:42.15\00:10:44.36
but its, its acceptable.
00:10:44.39\00:10:47.02
He is very industrious man
and she lost her--her living.
00:10:47.05\00:10:51.66
So now he has to
provide and so he rising,
00:10:51.69\00:10:55.16
these are lima beans
down in the valley there
00:10:55.19\00:10:58.92
and of course the
banana plant on the side,
00:10:58.95\00:11:01.80
but there is a
river, not a river
00:11:01.83\00:11:04.27
but a canal running near by
00:11:04.30\00:11:06.08
that has a deep high border
00:11:06.11\00:11:09.07
on the edge of
the bank on the canal.
00:11:09.10\00:11:10.99
So he is digging
this trench by hand.
00:11:11.02\00:11:12.90
It's about six feet deep now,
00:11:12.93\00:11:14.69
he has to go down
about another two feet
00:11:14.72\00:11:18.00
and so he can
channel water over there,
00:11:18.03\00:11:20.02
so he is building a
dam to dam up the water
00:11:20.05\00:11:22.52
so that he can
irrigate his, his garden.
00:11:22.55\00:11:24.69
Very industrious man. Wow.
00:11:24.72\00:11:27.10
And he had some beautiful
produce, beautiful stuff.
00:11:27.13\00:11:30.74
But on Sabbath they load into
their little bicycle, tricycle
00:11:30.77\00:11:34.83
and he carry's the
family off to church.
00:11:34.86\00:11:37.30
They have this young
lady living with them
00:11:37.33\00:11:40.24
to help take
care of the children.
00:11:40.27\00:11:41.82
I don't know if you noticed
in the former prostitutes arm
00:11:41.85\00:11:46.06
she has one arm, that
doesn't straighten out.
00:11:46.09\00:11:50.49
But, so she finds it
difficult to do some of her work
00:11:50.52\00:11:53.73
because she can't
straighten that arm out.
00:11:53.76\00:11:55.49
So they have a lady
that lives with them
00:11:55.52\00:11:56.94
which is very common
there in the Philippines.
00:11:56.97\00:11:58.86
But of they go to church--
00:11:58.89\00:12:00.06
Of they go while when
the Lord Jesus comes like
00:12:00.09\00:12:02.29
He healed the man in
Luke 6 with the shriveled arm
00:12:02.32\00:12:05.24
and the lady too will--
will be healed by the lord
00:12:05.27\00:12:08.19
when He comes back.
00:12:08.22\00:12:09.56
Well, we want to thank
you Fred, for this tour
00:12:09.59\00:12:11.51
and we want to encourage you
00:12:11.54\00:12:13.36
to be involved
with Gospel Outreach
00:12:13.39\00:12:15.55
and you can be involved through
00:12:15.58\00:12:17.07
our Adopt-A-Worker
program for about a $150
00:12:17.10\00:12:20.21
you can adopt a
worker and you can learn
00:12:20.24\00:12:22.26
what's going on with that worker
00:12:22.29\00:12:24.00
and what they are
doing in that areas
00:12:24.03\00:12:25.41
as they share
the love of the Lord.
00:12:25.44\00:12:27.04
And we have some
information for you.
00:12:27.07\00:12:30.00
Gospel Outreach began
a mission 20 years ago
00:12:30.03\00:12:32.72
by asking one simple question,
00:12:32.75\00:12:35.16
in a world filled with
famine, hunger and salvation,
00:12:35.19\00:12:38.91
what is Jesus waiting for?
00:12:38.94\00:12:41.22
In a world filled with
earthquakes, hurricanes
00:12:41.25\00:12:43.59
and natural calamities,
what is Jesus waiting for?
00:12:43.62\00:12:48.11
The gospel tells
us in Matthew 24:14,
00:12:48.14\00:12:51.22
"And This Gospel of the kingdom
00:12:51.25\00:12:52.87
shall be
preached in all the world
00:12:52.90\00:12:54.62
for a witness unto all nations,
00:12:54.65\00:12:56.80
and then shall the end come."
00:12:56.83\00:13:01.23
Inspired by those
words Gospel Outreach began
00:13:01.26\00:13:04.12
with one worker and
over the past 20 years
00:13:04.15\00:13:06.89
he is grown into an organization
00:13:06.92\00:13:08.49
with 2,200 workers
in 40 plus countries.
00:13:08.52\00:13:12.75
Gospel Outreach
is an independent
00:13:12.78\00:13:14.64
Seventh-day
Adventist lay ministry
00:13:14.67\00:13:16.52
run entirely by volunteers.
00:13:16.55\00:13:19.75
Gospel Outreach works
with the organized church
00:13:19.78\00:13:22.10
to sponsor Bible
workers in the 10/40 Window.
00:13:22.13\00:13:25.87
Now, what exactly
is the 10/40 Window?
00:13:25.90\00:13:29.55
The 10/40 Window is a
region of the eastern hemisphere
00:13:29.58\00:13:32.44
located between 10 and 40
degrees north of the equator.
00:13:32.47\00:13:36.45
What makes this region special?
00:13:36.48\00:13:39.00
97% of all the
people in the world
00:13:39.03\00:13:41.73
who have never heard
the name of Jesus live here.
00:13:41.76\00:13:45.15
Now, how exactly
does Gospel Outreach work
00:13:45.18\00:13:47.79
to reach these people?
00:13:47.82\00:13:50.03
We do this by
working with the church
00:13:50.06\00:13:51.79
as it places trained indigenous
workers in new territories.
00:13:51.82\00:13:55.57
Sending out
disciples just as Jesus did.
00:13:55.60\00:13:58.96
When a Bible worker
sponsored by Gospel Outreach
00:13:58.99\00:14:01.60
enters a new village,
00:14:01.63\00:14:02.82
it's estimated
that in the first year
00:14:02.85\00:14:04.79
an additional 300
individual will be baptized
00:14:04.82\00:14:08.12
and commit
their lives to Christ.
00:14:08.15\00:14:10.71
Individuals who had never heard
00:14:10.74\00:14:12.80
the amazing story of God's love
00:14:12.83\00:14:14.89
are getting to meet
Jesus for the first time.
00:14:14.92\00:14:17.91
Now how can you help?
00:14:17.94\00:14:19.97
Bible workers rely on
sponsorships to support them
00:14:20.00\00:14:22.86
and their families as they share
00:14:22.89\00:14:24.49
the unconditional love of God.
00:14:24.52\00:14:27.60
This is why Gospel Outreach
00:14:27.63\00:14:29.12
is introducing
Adopt-A-Worker program.
00:14:29.15\00:14:32.13
Together with the church
00:14:32.16\00:14:33.80
we identify new workers in
areas that need to reached.
00:14:33.83\00:14:37.07
That is why it's
our goal to introduce
00:14:37.10\00:14:39.02
a million new people to
Jesus in the next three years.
00:14:39.05\00:14:42.55
All that is
remaining for this work
00:14:42.58\00:14:44.14
to began is your financial help.
00:14:44.17\00:14:47.84
In return we
will keep you updated
00:14:47.87\00:14:49.95
on the exciting
progress of your worker,
00:14:49.98\00:14:52.35
sending you stories
and pictures of the lives
00:14:52.38\00:14:55.04
changed by your donations.
00:14:55.07\00:14:57.10
There are three ways
you can get involved.
00:14:57.13\00:14:59.56
You can be a prayer
partner for Gospel Outreach
00:14:59.59\00:15:01.86
by praying for
our Bible workers.
00:15:01.89\00:15:04.35
Second, become an ambassador
00:15:04.38\00:15:06.02
for our Adopt-A-Worker program
00:15:06.05\00:15:07.61
by telling your
family and friends
00:15:07.64\00:15:09.11
about how they can
make a difference too
00:15:09.14\00:15:11.58
and finally
sponsor a Bible worker.
00:15:11.61\00:15:14.57
Call or visit the website today.
00:15:14.60\00:15:17.68
So now you know a
bit about Gospel Outreach
00:15:17.71\00:15:20.51
and now that you know
what Jesus is waiting for,
00:15:20.54\00:15:23.22
the final question is
what are you waiting for?
00:15:23.25\00:15:26.22
And you can be involved
by giving to Gospel Outreach
00:15:29.23\00:15:32.03
and we would ask you
and encourage you to do that
00:15:32.06\00:15:34.33
and if you have we
want to say thank you
00:15:34.36\00:15:36.48
and we pray that the
Lord will impress upon you
00:15:36.51\00:15:39.27
if this is what
you should be doing
00:15:39.30\00:15:40.83
because we have been
hearing wonderful reports
00:15:40.86\00:15:42.92
from Fred Webb
of the Philippines
00:15:42.95\00:15:44.94
and the people who are
using out the donors money
00:15:44.97\00:15:48.08
to spread the work of the Lord.
00:15:48.11\00:15:49.77
And you know
Fred, to have you or me
00:15:49.80\00:15:52.13
go there to take the
time to learn the language
00:15:52.16\00:15:54.57
and to be culturally what,
entrenched with these people.
00:15:54.60\00:15:57.79
It's inefficient. It is.
00:15:57.82\00:15:59.64
Because you and I
can do things at home
00:15:59.67\00:16:02.74
but they can't do and so
we are all working together
00:16:02.77\00:16:06.14
to share the Lord's love with
the people around all of us.
00:16:06.17\00:16:09.30
And I think it's a
very effective program,
00:16:09.33\00:16:11.44
because the people
know the culture, they can--
00:16:11.47\00:16:13.80
it is go right to work.
00:16:13.83\00:16:14.86
Absolutely. Okay, so,
let's go back to more pictures.
00:16:14.89\00:16:17.70
All right, we are gonna
show you two very important men.
00:16:17.73\00:16:21.05
The man on the
right is Frank Stanyer
00:16:21.08\00:16:23.52
who was a founder of the--
00:16:23.55\00:16:25.91
the brains
behind Gospel Outreach.
00:16:25.94\00:16:28.35
The man on the
left was his partner
00:16:28.38\00:16:30.73
and worked with him
at the very beginning.
00:16:30.76\00:16:32.54
His name is Edgar Pangilinan.
00:16:32.57\00:16:35.38
Edgar, is still
Gospel Outreach worker
00:16:35.41\00:16:38.80
and very much involved
with Gospel Outreach there.
00:16:38.83\00:16:41.69
He has eight
people working with him
00:16:41.72\00:16:44.93
and he is kind of their leader
and he does an excellent job.
00:16:44.96\00:16:49.49
Frank lives just
around a corner from Edgar
00:16:49.52\00:16:51.61
and they partner
together quite frequently.
00:16:51.64\00:16:55.01
Frank went with us on
one of our trips this time,
00:16:55.04\00:16:58.51
up to the little
church in Villa Maria
00:16:58.54\00:17:01.26
that was built
by Gospel Outreach.
00:17:01.29\00:17:02.62
What a nice Church.
00:17:02.65\00:17:04.21
And it is very cheaply done
00:17:04.24\00:17:06.19
because the construction workers
were the Gospel Outreach workers
00:17:06.22\00:17:09.60
and the local people.
00:17:09.63\00:17:11.11
They didn't hire contractor
to come in, they did themselves.
00:17:11.14\00:17:13.85
Back in the day they
raised a barn in America,
00:17:13.88\00:17:15.89
they are raising a
church in the Philippines.
00:17:15.92\00:17:17.17
And they did a good job.
00:17:17.20\00:17:18.48
But not all the
churches are quite that nice.
00:17:18.51\00:17:20.31
This one is
in-- in Pinatubo area
00:17:20.34\00:17:24.66
which is relocation
centre for the displaced Aeta's
00:17:24.69\00:17:30.28
when Mount Pinatubo blew off.
00:17:30.31\00:17:32.65
They lost their homes
00:17:32.68\00:17:33.91
and so this is one of
their relocation centers.
00:17:33.94\00:17:36.16
Well, I like that church, Fred.
00:17:36.19\00:17:37.54
We have the money in hand
to build a nice church there
00:17:37.57\00:17:41.76
but they haven't been
able to get permission
00:17:41.79\00:17:45.98
to have real property
00:17:46.01\00:17:48.29
that they won't be
taken away from them.
00:17:48.32\00:17:49.91
So, they built
this temporary church
00:17:49.94\00:17:52.50
just to get that
until they get permission
00:17:52.53\00:17:54.78
to build a good one.
00:17:54.81\00:17:55.84
So what is that on
the side, is that bamboo?
00:17:55.87\00:17:57.61
Yeah, that's--that's
what they call this a sawali,
00:17:57.64\00:18:01.54
its split bamboo that's woven.
00:18:01.57\00:18:03.50
Ah, that's beautiful.
00:18:03.53\00:18:04.61
And it's--it's
nice and I like it
00:18:04.64\00:18:06.68
because it lets the air through.
00:18:06.71\00:18:10.60
In one of our
villages where we started out
00:18:10.63\00:18:13.49
in Nebu Club has
now become a resort area
00:18:13.52\00:18:18.23
and they have this
large statue of Christ.
00:18:18.26\00:18:20.62
I have it picture with
my wife and in front there
00:18:20.65\00:18:22.28
just to give some idea
of how big it really is.
00:18:22.31\00:18:24.83
It's huge.
00:18:24.86\00:18:26.45
In that same area they
have one of the longest
00:18:26.48\00:18:28.88
I think it is
the longest zip line
00:18:28.91\00:18:31.41
at least in the Philippines.
00:18:31.44\00:18:32.91
It's probably at least a
half a mile to a mile long.
00:18:32.94\00:18:36.69
Fred, do you know why they
put that statue of Christ there?
00:18:36.72\00:18:41.11
No, I don't really.
Interesting, that's wonderful.
00:18:41.14\00:18:44.77
But the people
are largely Christian,
00:18:44.80\00:18:47.26
Philippines is the only
real Christian nation in Asia.
00:18:47.29\00:18:50.54
In Asia and Korea.
00:18:50.57\00:18:53.05
They are heavily
populating in Korea.
00:18:53.08\00:18:55.02
So, zip line right
under the Statue of Jesus.
00:18:55.05\00:18:57.70
It goes actually down
the other side of the hill.
00:18:57.73\00:18:59.78
But this is the kind of
the view you would have,
00:18:59.81\00:19:01.67
if you were
zipping down that line.
00:19:01.70\00:19:03.13
Gorgeous. I dint do it, I have
a fear of that kind of thing.
00:19:03.16\00:19:05.24
I was just gonna ask you
Fred, come on did you do it?
00:19:05.27\00:19:08.42
Children are
children every where,
00:19:08.45\00:19:10.29
these three little
girls where just as cute as
00:19:10.32\00:19:13.01
they could be and I couldn't
resist taking a picture of them.
00:19:13.04\00:19:15.97
They had some little snacks
00:19:16.00\00:19:17.42
they were eating and they were--
00:19:17.45\00:19:19.31
eat a little bit and
they run around and play.
00:19:19.34\00:19:21.23
How cute.
00:19:21.26\00:19:24.06
We have a program we
call it Adopt-A-Worker
00:19:24.09\00:19:26.22
that we just heard about.
00:19:26.25\00:19:27.49
Well, this man
standing in front with a pointer
00:19:27.52\00:19:30.28
is one of those.
His name is Anchois.
00:19:30.31\00:19:34.73
And he is working in a
village where there has been
00:19:34.76\00:19:38.93
no Seventh-Day
Adventists presence before.
00:19:38.96\00:19:41.28
And one of the problems he has
00:19:41.31\00:19:42.65
is they don't know
how to read and write.
00:19:42.68\00:19:43.84
These are Aeta tribal
people and he believes
00:19:43.87\00:19:47.71
and I believe as well that
in order to make good Christians
00:19:47.74\00:19:50.55
they need to be
able to read the bible.
00:19:50.58\00:19:52.22
For themselves. Right.
00:19:52.25\00:19:53.73
And so he is teaching
them how to read and write.
00:19:53.76\00:19:57.50
And here is standing
with some of the leaders
00:19:57.53\00:19:59.91
in the group that
he has assembled there.
00:19:59.94\00:20:03.65
This lady is the leader.
00:20:03.68\00:20:06.76
She is the most
prominent one there
00:20:06.79\00:20:08.93
and she is giving
us some of the products
00:20:08.96\00:20:10.75
that she has raised.
00:20:10.78\00:20:11.81
Yeah, looks like an
eggplant. That was an eggplant.
00:20:11.84\00:20:13.24
They are the long, long
eggplant Japanese style.
00:20:13.27\00:20:17.60
I like that
better than the other.
00:20:17.63\00:20:20.01
Their water source is
quite away from their village,
00:20:20.04\00:20:22.79
that's one of the problems.
00:20:22.82\00:20:23.85
They have to carry
their water from down below
00:20:23.88\00:20:25.75
and it's about I would say
half a mile from a village.
00:20:25.78\00:20:29.92
So you are telling
me that there is a well
00:20:29.95\00:20:32.31
in the middle of that picket.
00:20:32.34\00:20:33.39
No, there is water
running out of the crown there,
00:20:33.42\00:20:36.01
you see that one
coming cross at an angle.
00:20:36.04\00:20:38.11
And so that's where
they go get their water.
00:20:38.14\00:20:39.63
Yeah, there is water
coming out of that bamboo.
00:20:39.66\00:20:41.42
Wow. But it's a
long ways in a village.
00:20:41.45\00:20:45.39
This is Jimmy and he is
been giving Bible studies
00:20:45.42\00:20:48.40
in a village there
and this young couple
00:20:48.43\00:20:50.60
have prepared
themselves for baptism
00:20:50.63\00:20:53.29
and they are
going to be baptized.
00:20:53.32\00:20:56.83
As I was there they were
holding evangelistic meetings
00:20:56.86\00:20:59.27
in a meeting in
a village near by
00:20:59.30\00:21:01.74
and here they are
setting up equipment.
00:21:01.77\00:21:04.27
You know, they show
up in town with computers
00:21:04.30\00:21:07.55
and a video
projector and a generator and--
00:21:07.58\00:21:11.36
You are like where in the world
00:21:11.39\00:21:12.49
did that come from when you.
00:21:12.52\00:21:14.52
And they draw the cards. Wow.
00:21:14.55\00:21:17.28
They usually start out
with a children's program,
00:21:17.31\00:21:21.00
here is Linda
that's Edgar's wife
00:21:21.03\00:21:23.09
who is telling a
story for the children,
00:21:23.12\00:21:25.19
then after the
children's program
00:21:25.22\00:21:26.62
they have a preaching
service for the adults.
00:21:26.65\00:21:29.30
This is a mother
and daughter combo,
00:21:29.33\00:21:31.49
the mother on the right.
00:21:31.52\00:21:32.78
Rosetta is in her mid
70's still going strong
00:21:32.81\00:21:36.37
as the Gospel Outreach worker.
00:21:36.40\00:21:38.35
Her daughter Rosell
has been with them now
00:21:38.38\00:21:41.05
for I think about eight years.
00:21:41.08\00:21:44.60
She graduated with a
degree and education.
00:21:44.63\00:21:47.37
Could have a good job
but she says I like this
00:21:47.40\00:21:51.68
and so she is
continue to work with that.
00:21:51.71\00:21:53.57
They are giving
a health lecture.
00:21:53.60\00:21:55.34
Sitting on bamboo.
00:21:55.37\00:21:57.16
This is a pastor
of a Barangay church
00:21:57.19\00:22:01.52
that is in that same village
00:22:01.55\00:22:03.19
and he is very
friendly and very nice
00:22:03.22\00:22:04.69
and we have hopes that one day
00:22:04.72\00:22:06.35
we might be
able to win him over.
00:22:06.38\00:22:08.24
He seemed a very friendly
and not at all prejudice.
00:22:08.27\00:22:10.89
Well, we'll be working together
00:22:10.92\00:22:12.16
on behalf of the
Lord, how great is that?
00:22:12.19\00:22:14.17
Right, they live in
kind of primitive situations
00:22:14.20\00:22:17.71
when they go out to these places
00:22:17.74\00:22:18.84
but they are both men and
woman involved in the team
00:22:18.87\00:22:21.27
so they have a little
private tent so they sleep in.
00:22:21.30\00:22:23.88
On concrete now.
Yes, on concrete.
00:22:23.91\00:22:28.60
They had a baptism
while we were there
00:22:28.63\00:22:31.63
and we went out
to the baptismal site
00:22:31.66\00:22:34.06
and there was a long by river,
00:22:34.09\00:22:37.56
we had a little
hard time finding it
00:22:37.59\00:22:38.84
but it was a
nice site for baptism.
00:22:38.87\00:22:41.57
And there were I think
there were 11 baptized that day.
00:22:41.60\00:22:48.44
Here is the baptism itself
00:22:48.47\00:22:50.21
and we have just a
short video of baptism.
00:22:50.24\00:22:52.70
Oh, good.
00:22:52.73\00:22:55.21
They first have the prayer
00:22:55.24\00:22:57.35
and do the through the
whole ritual that we do,
00:22:57.38\00:23:00.98
but you know
baptism is a special time
00:23:01.01\00:23:02.84
when the Father and
the Son and the Holy Spirit
00:23:02.87\00:23:04.61
are all present and it's
a very sacred time and I--
00:23:04.64\00:23:08.51
I just enjoy watching baptisms.
00:23:08.54\00:23:12.44
And it--it just
brings pleasure to the hearts
00:23:12.47\00:23:16.17
of anyone who is been working.
00:23:16.20\00:23:17.97
Because each of those people
00:23:18.00\00:23:19.32
there are have accepted Jesus.
00:23:19.35\00:23:20.73
That's right and
after the baptism
00:23:20.76\00:23:22.57
they have a prayer
and then they lined up
00:23:22.60\00:23:24.74
on the shore for people to
come along and to greet them.
00:23:24.77\00:23:29.76
But that's not the
end and doing this baptism
00:23:29.79\00:23:32.12
we had a little distraction.
00:23:32.15\00:23:34.16
It was right
beside a gravel quarry
00:23:34.19\00:23:37.09
and they were working.
00:23:37.12\00:23:38.73
While you can
see this guy appear
00:23:38.76\00:23:39.88
from top of the hill
dumping rocks over the edge
00:23:39.91\00:23:43.48
and kind of
distracted a little bit,
00:23:43.51\00:23:46.69
at least it distracted me
because I'm interested in fun.
00:23:46.72\00:23:48.97
It is sure, there you go.
00:23:49.00\00:23:51.49
And after the baptism
they usually have a meal
00:23:51.52\00:23:55.20
so here they cook the
rice and over the three stones
00:23:55.23\00:23:58.11
and then they pot there
00:23:58.14\00:23:59.36
with a kind of a tan
colored stuff that's jackfruit.
00:23:59.39\00:24:03.80
And jackfruit they
are big, they are big.
00:24:03.83\00:24:05.77
And it's a largest fruit
in the world. Yes, its huge.
00:24:05.80\00:24:07.82
They are
probably, well the average
00:24:07.85\00:24:10.44
would be probably
about two feet long
00:24:10.47\00:24:11.82
and about a foot in diameter.
00:24:11.85\00:24:13.08
And they boil it?
00:24:13.11\00:24:14.82
I have never seen
them prepare like that.
00:24:14.85\00:24:16.48
Well, when its
green before it gets ripe
00:24:16.51\00:24:18.76
then they chop it up
and even the seeds are good.
00:24:18.79\00:24:23.34
And they boil it and
cook it and of course
00:24:23.37\00:24:25.71
they season it a little bit.
00:24:25.74\00:24:27.09
And that's what
they use for the food.
00:24:27.12\00:24:28.51
Of course when
the fruit gets ripe,
00:24:28.54\00:24:30.23
then its fruit and it's sweet.
00:24:30.26\00:24:32.42
Interesting. I like
it and some people don't.
00:24:32.45\00:24:34.92
It gets sticky on your lips
00:24:34.95\00:24:36.87
so you can glue
your lips together.
00:24:36.90\00:24:40.11
Then they set
the table. Perfect.
00:24:40.14\00:24:42.71
That table is
made of banana leaves,
00:24:42.74\00:24:45.21
just lay it on the
ground and their plates
00:24:45.24\00:24:47.66
they just dump the rice
out on the banana leaves--
00:24:47.69\00:24:49.96
How clean.
00:24:49.99\00:24:51.02
And everybody
reaches in with the fingers
00:24:51.05\00:24:52.55
and you know if I
try to eat that way,
00:24:52.58\00:24:56.29
I have it all over my face.
00:24:56.32\00:24:57.35
I tried one time, I went
to a-- to a native social
00:24:57.38\00:25:01.08
and everybody was
eating rice with their fingers.
00:25:01.11\00:25:03.81
What choice did I have?
00:25:03.84\00:25:04.87
There were no
utensils since so I tried
00:25:04.90\00:25:06.90
but ended with
all around my mouth.
00:25:06.93\00:25:08.67
Hey that makes cleaning easy.
00:25:08.70\00:25:12.02
So, we enjoy our
work in the Philippines.
00:25:12.05\00:25:14.02
I can see that.
00:25:14.05\00:25:15.08
It's great to be able
to travel around and meet
00:25:15.11\00:25:17.98
and see these friends that
I have come acquainted with
00:25:18.01\00:25:21.13
and we just enjoy
every minute of it.
00:25:21.16\00:25:23.99
So what's your biggest
need in your territory, Fred?
00:25:24.02\00:25:26.55
More workers. And that means?
00:25:26.58\00:25:28.88
Adopt-A-Worker. And that means?
00:25:28.91\00:25:32.29
More money
right? Need more money.
00:25:32.32\00:25:33.80
Yeah, and we see
that and you know,
00:25:33.83\00:25:36.25
you hear from all
these organizations
00:25:36.28\00:25:37.82
about we need more money,
00:25:37.85\00:25:39.29
we need more
money but it is true
00:25:39.32\00:25:41.47
and there are many
advise who may be can eliminate
00:25:41.50\00:25:45.11
some things in our daily life's
but we can be able to give.
00:25:45.14\00:25:48.48
I'm told at $6
we will a soul. Wow.
00:25:48.51\00:25:52.39
So how many of you
could give up a pizza
00:25:52.42\00:25:55.07
to win one soul for Jesus.
00:25:55.10\00:25:56.59
Yeah, yeah.
00:25:56.62\00:25:57.81
And the efficiency of
this organization is fantastic
00:25:57.84\00:26:01.03
because none of
the office workers,
00:26:01.06\00:26:03.38
none of us are paid.
00:26:03.41\00:26:04.97
All
volunteered? All volunteered.
00:26:05.00\00:26:06.50
Yup, absolutely.
00:26:06.53\00:26:07.83
We are sitting here in a studio
with lots of people in here
00:26:07.86\00:26:10.74
that are volunteering, we
are all volunteering our time
00:26:10.77\00:26:13.00
and so that's what is all about.
00:26:13.03\00:26:14.85
But that is
something that you need
00:26:14.88\00:26:16.74
and how about prayer.
00:26:16.77\00:26:18.05
Oh, we always need prayer.
00:26:18.08\00:26:19.67
Good, well thank
you for being here
00:26:19.70\00:26:21.87
and I would
like to encourage you
00:26:21.90\00:26:23.48
on behalf of Gospel Outreach.
00:26:23.51\00:26:25.23
You have seen the pictures,
you have seen the needs,
00:26:25.26\00:26:27.01
you have seen the
people who have to go
00:26:27.04\00:26:29.08
and where they get the water,
00:26:29.11\00:26:31.14
in a stream with a bamboo
and all of that and the man
00:26:31.17\00:26:34.22
who is having to
irrigate his lima bean crop.
00:26:34.25\00:26:37.57
You have seen the need
00:26:37.60\00:26:38.78
and so many
people live like this
00:26:38.81\00:26:40.93
and they need to know the
love of the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:26:40.96\00:26:43.56
So, we would encourage you
00:26:43.59\00:26:45.09
to learn more
about Adopt-A-Worker.
00:26:45.12\00:26:47.13
Please visit our
website at goaim.org
00:26:47.16\00:26:50.73
and you can find out
how you can be involved
00:26:50.76\00:26:53.45
by supporting an Adopt-A-Worker
through Gospel Outreach.
00:26:53.48\00:26:55.97
For Adventures in
Mission and for Gospel Outreach
00:26:56.00\00:26:58.36
I'm Julie Saunders Keymer
and may the Lord bless you.
00:26:58.39\00:27:01.34
I need to spread
the gospel here at home.
00:27:16.27\00:27:19.16
Where is the tent
for the Window anyway?
00:27:19.19\00:27:22.43
Those people are too far away.
00:27:22.46\00:27:25.51
Some one else can
tell them about Jesus.
00:27:25.54\00:27:28.19
May be they could just watch TV.
00:27:28.22\00:27:31.41
Nearly three billion
people to reach, my head hurt.
00:27:31.44\00:27:36.73
There is nothing
I can do, I give up.
00:27:36.76\00:27:40.40
What's the point of trying?
00:27:40.43\00:27:41.95
I can't make a difference.
00:27:41.98\00:27:44.19
Actually you can
make a difference.
00:27:44.22\00:27:46.77
And Jesus asked you,
to go to all the world.
00:27:46.80\00:27:50.62
Where? All the world.
00:27:50.65\00:27:53.35
How can I go? I
have commitments.
00:27:53.38\00:27:56.21
You can pray.
00:27:56.24\00:27:58.25
You can volunteer your talents.
00:27:58.28\00:28:00.68
You can tell others.
00:28:03.74\00:28:06.57
You can give money to
sponsor Bible workers.
00:28:06.60\00:28:09.52
Millions of people are
searching for hope and meaning.
00:28:09.55\00:28:12.45
But they won't
find it without you.
00:28:12.48\00:28:14.81
Be the spark.
00:28:14.84\00:28:15.98
Like the fire.
00:28:16.01\00:28:17.42
Finish the work.
00:28:17.45\00:28:18.92
Finish the work.
00:28:18.95\00:28:20.65
Be the Spark!
