00:01:45.50\00:01:46.50
I'M JUST DAN, BY THE WAY.
00:01:46.50\00:01:47.90
AND YOU'VE BEEN AROUND COLLEGE
PLACE YOU TOLD ME FOR NINE YEARS
00:01:47.90\00:01:54.16
NOW, YES, AT GOSPEL OUTREACH
HEADQUARTERS BUT YOU CAME TO BE
00:01:54.16\00:02:00.93
AT THE UNIVERSITY? NO, MY
HUSBAND IS TEACHING AT WALLA
WALLA UNIVERSITY IN BUSINESS
00:02:00.93\00:02:06.83
SCHOOL. AND YOU HAVE A SON?
00:02:06.83\00:02:08.83
WE HAVE A SON AND A DAUGHTER.
00:02:08.83\00:02:12.36
A SON AND DAUGHTER.
00:02:12.36\00:02:16.33
I WAS ALERT WHEN I HEARD ABOUT
YOUR SON, HIS NAME IS DANIEL.
00:02:16.33\00:02:19.93
DANIEL, YES.
00:02:19.93\00:02:21.30
SO YOU KNOW, HE'S REMINDED, I
KNOW, THAT GOD IS MY JUDGE AND
00:02:21.30\00:02:28.90
I'M ALWAYS INTERESTED IN MEETING
ANOTHER DANIEL AND SO MAYBE
SOMETIME I'LL GET TO
00:02:28.90\00:02:33.40
MEET HIM AS WELL.
00:02:33.40\00:02:34.40
WHAT DOES YOUR HUSBAND TEACH?
00:02:34.40\00:02:37.43
BUSINESS STATISTICS, COMPUTERS.
00:02:37.43\00:02:39.76
OH.
00:02:39.76\00:02:40.76
NO WONDER HE IS IN DEMAND THEN.
00:02:40.76\00:02:42.60
IN THE 21ST CENTURY TECHNICAL
DEMANDS THE LIKES OF HIS SKILLS.
00:02:42.60\00:02:47.63
YES.
00:02:47.63\00:02:48.63
ALRIGHT, LET'S
TALK ABOUT YOU, RUMI.
00:02:48.63\00:02:51.80
YOU'VE BEEN SERVING WITH
GOSPEL OUTREACH HOW LONG?
00:02:51.80\00:02:56.00
I BEGAN TO SERVE IN
GOSPEL OUTREACH 2005, IT WAS, I
00:02:56.00\00:03:02.13
BELIEVE. YOU KNOW I NEED TO TELL
OUR VIEWERS THAT THE DOORS ARE
ALWAYS OPEN HERE AT
00:03:04.23\00:03:10.30
GOSPEL OUTREACH AND IF ANYBODY
GETS CLOSE ENOUGH, WE GET
WELCOMED IN TO BE A
00:03:10.30\00:03:14.73
PART OF THE
GOSPEL OUTREACH FAMILY.
00:03:14.73\00:03:16.93
SO WHAT DID YOU START DOING?
00:03:16.93\00:03:18.40
IT WAS VERY HARD FOR ME BECAUSE
WHEN I ARRIVED IN THE STATES I
00:03:18.40\00:03:23.50
DIDN'T SPEAK THE LANGUAGE, I
DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE LANGUAGE
AND GOSPEL OUTREACH HELPED
00:03:23.50\00:03:28.40
ME A LOT.WOW.
00:03:28.40\00:03:31.20
SO I WAS DOING THIS AND THAT
AND I WAS HELPING IN THE MAILING
00:03:31.20\00:03:36.83
ROOM WITH STUFFING THE ENVELOPES
AND SEALING THE ENVELOPES.
00:03:36.83\00:03:40.36
SOMETIMES WE MAIL OUT
THOUSANDS OF ENVELOPES.
00:03:40.36\00:03:44.03
WELL, I WILL ALMOST USE THE TERM
YOUR GOSPEL OUTREACH EXPERIENCE
00:03:44.03\00:03:51.76
AND I KNOW MANY OF THE OTHER
EXPERIENCES AS WELL THAT HAVE
00:03:51.76\00:03:55.13
HELPED YOU PRETTY CLOSE TO
MASTERING THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
00:03:55.13\00:03:57.30
IT IS VERY EASY
TO UNDERSTAND YOU.
00:03:57.30\00:03:59.60
THANK YOU.
00:03:59.60\00:04:00.66
SO, YOU ARE
FEELING AT HOME HERE THEN?
00:04:00.66\00:04:04.23
YOU KNOW, THERE IS NO HOME
FOR ME ESPECIALLY ON THE PLANET.
00:04:04.23\00:04:08.96
AH, BLESS YOUR HEART.
00:04:08.96\00:04:10.73
SO WHEREVER GOD
WANTS ME TO BE, I'M THERE.
00:04:10.73\00:04:13.06
GOOD.
00:04:13.06\00:04:14.06
GOOD.
00:04:14.06\00:04:15.36
AND NOW YOU ARE THE REGIONAL
DIRECTOR AND EXPLAIN TO US WHAT
00:04:15.36\00:04:22.53
YOUR REGION INCLUDES.
00:04:22.53\00:04:26.46
MY REGION INCLUDES
BULGARIA, MACEDONIA AND TURKEY.
00:04:26.46\00:04:30.66
I BEGAN TO HELP THERE MAYBE IT
WAS ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO BECAUSE WE
00:04:30.66\00:04:36.63
WERE FRIENDS WITH THE FORMER
REGIONAL DIRECTOR, ZDRAVKO
00:04:36.63\00:04:40.60
STEFANOVICH. HE IS STILL A
REGIONAL DIRECTOR BUT THERE ARE
MANY COUNTRIES ON THE
00:04:40.60\00:04:48.36
BALKANS AND ONCE I BEGAN TO HELP
HIM GOING BACK THERE IN EUROPE
00:04:48.36\00:04:55.60
WITH CONNECTING WITH THE
BULGARIAN UNION AND NOW A PASTOR
00:04:55.60\00:05:00.53
IN TURKEY WHO IS
BULGARIAN AND TURK.
00:05:00.53\00:05:02.10
OH.
00:05:02.10\00:05:03.56
AND I KNOW HIM AND THEN LAST
YEAR HE JUST ASKED ME WHETHER I
00:05:03.56\00:05:09.40
WILL BE ABLE TO ACCEPT A KIND
OF -TO WORK THERE AS A REGIONAL
00:05:12.03\00:05:18.10
DIRECTOR. I WAS VOTED
LAST SUMMER TWO WEEKS BEFORE MY
00:05:20.06\00:05:27.60
LEAVING TO EUROPE. OH REALLY.
00:05:27.60\00:05:29.03
AND IT WAS PRETTY SCARY FOR
ME BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
00:05:29.03\00:05:34.36
EXACTLY I CAN DO THERE
BECAUSE I AM JUST A LADY.
00:05:34.36\00:05:37.63
A VERY SPECIAL LADY.
00:05:37.63\00:05:40.10
IT IS NOT SO MUCH THAT I CAN DO
MOST OF MY LIFE I WAS A MOTHER.
00:05:40.10\00:05:46.56
SO, BUT GOD
ANSWERED TO ME VERY QUICKLY.
00:05:46.56\00:05:54.00
ONCE WE ARRIVED THERE LAST
SUMMER WE WERE INVITED TO ATTEND
A MUSLIM CONFERENCE
00:05:54.00\00:06:00.13
IN ISTANBUL.
00:06:02.50\00:06:03.70
REALLY.
00:06:03.70\00:06:04.83
THERE WERE MAYBE ABOUT 50
PEOPLE THERE AT THE CONFERENCE.
00:06:04.83\00:06:10.30
AND STEVEN
DICKEY WAS THE SPEAKER.
00:06:10.30\00:06:13.93
YES, I RECOGNIZE THAT NAME.
00:06:13.93\00:06:17.16
I'VE SEEN-I HAVE NEVER MET
HIM BUT I'VE SEEN HIS BOOKS.
00:06:17.16\00:06:22.00
YES.
00:06:22.00\00:06:23.00
O.K.
00:06:23.00\00:06:24.00
YES.
00:06:24.00\00:06:25.40
SO I WAS REALLY SURPRISED HOW
EASY IT IS TO BECOME A FRIEND, A
00:06:25.40\00:06:30.50
VERY CLOSE FRIEND, WITH
THE MUSLIM PEOPLE IN TURKEY.
00:06:30.50\00:06:33.23
INTERESTING.
00:06:33.23\00:06:34.23
SO NOW WE HAVE
TWO WORKERS IN TURKEY.
00:06:34.23\00:06:40.26
ONE OF THEM IS
WORKING IN ISTANBUL.
00:06:42.43\00:06:45.73
THE OTHER ONE IS WORKING IN
AZERBAIJAN BUT TWO OF THEM ARE
00:06:45.73\00:06:51.60
VERY VALUABLE TO US.
00:06:51.60\00:06:53.03
WE HAVE THREE WORKERS IN
BULGARIA AND TWO WORKERS IN
00:06:53.03\00:06:58.80
MACEDONIA. NOW LET'S JUST FOR
THE BENEFIT OF OUR VIEWERS, YOUR
00:07:01.43\00:07:08.20
NATIVE COUNTRY IS BULGARIA.
00:07:08.20\00:07:09.20
BULGARIA, YES.
00:07:09.20\00:07:10.20
AND THAT'S YOUR LANGUAGE?
00:07:10.20\00:07:12.36
YES.
00:07:12.36\00:07:13.83
AND SO IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME
THAT YOU ARE THE RIGHT ONE TO BE
00:07:13.83\00:07:19.43
THERE BECAUSE OF YOUR
UNDERSTANDING OF THE CULTURE AND
YOUR ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE WITH
00:07:21.46\00:07:27.46
THEM IN THEIR OWN TERMINOLOGIES.
00:07:27.46\00:07:29.50
SO, IT APPEARS IN MY MIND THAT
GOD HAS HAD HIS HAND OVER THIS
00:07:29.50\00:07:35.56
ALL THE WHILE IN BRINGING YOU
FOLKS HERE TO COLLEGE PLACE IN
ANTICIPATION OF ZDRAVKO
00:07:40.93\00:07:47.93
STEFANOVICH'S TRANSFERRING AWAY
FROM HERE AND THERE NEEDED TO BE
00:07:47.93\00:07:55.33
A LEADER AND GOD HAD PREPARED
YOU FOR THAT LEADERSHIP ROLE.
00:07:55.33\00:07:59.06
I WELCOME YOU.
00:07:59.06\00:08:00.10
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
00:08:00.10\00:08:01.06
AND WE ARE SO HAPPY FOR
WHAT YOU ARE TELLING US.
00:08:01.06\00:08:03.70
NOW, YOU MENTIONED BULGARIA,
MACEDONIA, TURKEYEYEYEYEYRE THE
00:08:03.70\00:08:09.76
THREE PRIMARY COUNTRIES?
00:08:13.53\00:08:14.56
YES.
00:08:14.56\00:08:17.80
HOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE THE
WORD, BUT HOW MANY BELIEVERS,
00:08:17.80\00:08:23.86
ADVENTIST BELIEVERS ARE
THERE IN THOSE COUNTRIES?
00:08:27.40\00:08:31.00
I DON'T KNOW THE NUMBER OF
BELIEVERS BUT ESPECIALLY IN
TURKEY WE HAVE LESS
00:08:31.00\00:08:35.23
THAN 100 ADVENTISTS, ESPECIALLY.
00:08:35.23\00:08:39.40
BUT THERE IS A PASTOR THERE?
00:08:39.40\00:08:40.80
THERE IS A PASTOR THERE AND NOW
THERE IS A NEW DIRECTOR THERE
00:08:40.80\00:08:45.96
FOR TURKEY AND NORTH CYPRUS.
00:08:45.96\00:08:47.90
O.K.
00:08:47.90\00:08:49.40
IT WAS MY PURPOSE TO VISIT THIS
SUMMER IN ISTANBUL TO MEET HIM
00:08:49.40\00:08:56.46
BECAUSE MAYBE IT WAS IN DECEMBER
LAST YEAR, A KIND OF
MISUNDERSTANDING, A
00:08:56.46\00:09:02.56
CULTURAL MISUNDERSTANDING
BEGAN IN TURKEY.
00:09:05.83\00:09:11.50
SO WE WENT THROUGH
KIND OF A CRISIS THERE.
00:09:11.50\00:09:15.80
BECAUSE IT IS NOT EASY FOR US,
AS CHRISTIANS UNDERSTAND, THAT
00:09:15.80\00:09:22.00
GOING IN THE MUMUIM WORLD WE
SHOULD ACT LIKE GUESTS THERE.
00:09:22.00\00:09:28.60
I HOPE YOU VIEWERS
GOT WHAT RUMI SAID.
00:09:28.60\00:09:31.96
SOMETIMES WE WESTERNERS FEEL SO
SECURE EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD
00:09:34.06\00:09:40.13
WE MAY TAKE ON AN ATTITUDE OF
OWNERSHIP AND WHAT RUMI IS
UNDERSCORING IS THE
00:09:43.80\00:09:50.46
IMPORTANCE-IF WE ARE TO CONNECT
WITH PEOPLE IN ANY KIND OF
00:09:50.46\00:09:56.20
RESPECTFUL FASHION, WE HAVE
TO REMEMBER THAT WE ARE VISITORS
00:09:56.20\00:10:01.76
AND GUESTS IN THEIR ENVIRONMENT.
00:10:01.76\00:10:03.56
YES.
00:10:03.56\00:10:04.63
THAT'S A POWERFUL OBSERVATION
YOU ARE MAKING FOR US.
00:10:04.63\00:10:06.76
I THINK THAT PROBABLY POINTS
UP THE CHALLENGE THAT RESTS UPON
00:10:06.76\00:10:14.40
ALL OF US IN ALL OF OUR
ENVIRONMENT, THAT WE SHOULD NOT
OVERRIDE OR PUSH PEOPLE.
00:10:14.40\00:10:21.96
YES, THAT IS CORRECT BECAUSE OUR
WORKERS IN BULGARIA-THEY TOLD ME
00:10:21.96\00:10:28.20
THE SAME.
00:10:28.20\00:10:29.20
BECAUSE WE HAVE MANY
TURKISH PEOPLE IN BULGARIA.
00:10:29.20\00:10:32.36
THEY ARE BULGARIAN CITIZENS
BUT THEY HAVE BEEN BORN TURKISH,
00:10:32.36\00:10:38.43
THIS IS COMING FROM
THE HISTORY BACK IN TIME.
00:10:41.76\00:10:44.90
SO THEY TOLD US WHEN WE GO TO
THEIR VILLAGES WE NEED TO KNOW
00:10:44.90\00:10:51.03
THAT WE ARE VISITORS THERE AND
WE MUST FIND THE WAY HOW TO MAKE
00:10:51.03\00:10:57.10
THEM ACCEPT US.
HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
00:11:00.56\00:11:01.50
SO USUALLY THEY JUST
TRY TO SPEAK WITH PEOPLE.
00:11:01.50\00:11:07.36
GO TO THE MARKETS.
00:11:07.36\00:11:10.03
INTRODUCE THEMSELVES TRYING
TO GIVE THEM VERY SIMPLE HEALTH
00:11:10.03\00:11:16.10
ADVICES BECAUSE THEY KNOW
PRACTICALLY NOTHING ABOUT
HEALTHY LIVING OR STUFF
00:11:16.10\00:11:21.16
LIKE THAT.
00:11:21.16\00:11:22.50
SO WE HAVE A REAL OPPORTUNITY
ESPECIALLY IN TURKEY TO REACH
00:11:22.50\00:11:28.56
PEOPLE. BUT WE MUST NOT FORGET
THAT OUR MESSAGE TO THE MUSLIM
00:11:28.56\00:11:34.63
PEOPLE IS TO TELL THEM ABOUT
JESUS, ABOUT HIS LOVE AND TO
MAKE THEM ACCEPT HIM.
00:11:37.63\00:11:43.96
NOT TO MAKE THEM CHRISTIANS.
00:11:43.96\00:11:48.50
BECAUSE I WAS REALLY SURPRISED
BOTH OUR PASTOR AND HIS WIFE
00:11:48.50\00:11:54.43
TOLD US THIS TIME WHEN WE WERE
IN ISTANBUL, THEY TOLD US, EVEN
00:11:54.43\00:12:00.16
WE ACCEPTED JESUS ABOUT 32
YEARS AGO, WE ARE STILL MUSLIMS.
00:12:00.16\00:12:05.76
THAT IS A VERY, VERY PROFOUND
OBSERVATION YOU MAKE, RUMI.
00:12:05.76\00:12:11.83
THIS IS NOT OUR PROGRAM RIGHT
NOW, BUT I JUST RETURNED FROM
00:12:15.56\00:12:19.90
INDONESIA A FEW DAYS BEFORE THIS
TAPING AND I DISCOVERED THE SAME
00:12:19.90\00:12:25.96
THING THERE. I GO BACK TO THE
PRINCIPLE YOU WERE UNDERSCORING
00:12:29.86\00:12:34.40
A BIT AGO THAT WE WESTERNERS,
YOU KNOW, WE CAN GO ANYWHERE AND
WE CAN TALK TO ANYBODY AND YOU
00:12:34.40\00:12:39.96
ACCEPT US FOR WHO WE ARE IF WE
SAY SO, BUT IN MUCH OF THE WORLD
00:12:39.96\00:12:47.06
WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT
THOSE PEOPLE ARE NOT LIKE US.
00:12:47.06\00:12:49.66
WE ARE NOT LIKE THEM AND THEY
HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW THAT WE
00:12:49.66\00:12:56.60
RESPECT THEM FOR WHO THEY ARE
AND MUST APPROACH THEM ON THE
BASIS OF THEIR UNDERSTANDING AND
00:12:56.60\00:13:03.03
NOT OUR UNDERSTANDING.
00:13:03.03\00:13:04.03
YES, THAT'S CORRECT.
00:13:04.03\00:13:05.43
SO YOU HAVE MADE A
PROFOUND OBSERVATION.
00:13:05.43\00:13:08.86
THERE FOR 32 YEARS, TELL ME-FOR
32 YEARS THEN THIS FOLLOWER OF
00:13:08.86\00:13:14.90
JESUS, PASTOR IS STILL A
PART OF THE MUSLIM CULTURE.
00:13:20.06\00:13:22.60
YES, BECAUSE THEY TOLD US
OUR FAMILIES, BOTH OF THEM, ARE
00:13:22.60\00:13:28.66
MUSLIMS. OUR LIFESTYLE
IS AS ALL OTHER MUSLIMS.
00:13:31.63\00:13:35.56
WE CONTINUE TO LIVE IN OUR
MUSLIM ENVIRONMENTS AND WE JUST
00:13:35.56\00:13:41.63
KNOW THE CULTURE. THAT'S WHY
THEY ARE VERY SUCCESSFUL IN
TURKEY BECAUSE THEY KNOW HOW TO
00:13:46.36\00:13:50.86
REACH PEOPLE THERE.
00:13:50.86\00:13:53.13
RUMI, IN YOU GOING THERE NOW AS
A NORTH AMERICAN, ARE YOU ABLE
00:13:53.13\00:13:59.20
TO -BECAUSE IF YOU WERE TO SAY,
I SERVE GOD ALSO, BUT I'M NOT A
00:14:09.26\00:14:16.56
MUSLIM. HOW DO
THEY RELATE TO THAT?
00:14:16.56\00:14:18.30
YOU KNOW, I WAS TOLD SOMETHING
LAST SUMMER WHEN WE WERE THERE.
00:14:21.20\00:14:27.56
O.K.
00:14:27.56\00:14:29.23
TO SERVE MUSLIMS, TO REACH
MUSLIMS YOU MUST BECOME A MUSLIM
00:14:29.23\00:14:35.26
IN YOUR HEART. INTERESTING.
00:14:38.43\00:14:39.83
YOU MUST ACCEPT YOURSELF AS ONE
OF THEM AND THE SECRET TO REACH
00:14:39.83\00:14:45.46
MUSLIMS IS TO WIN THEIR TRUST.
00:14:50.53\00:14:53.26
IF THEY TRUST YOU, IF THEY
ACCEPT YOU AS A FRIEND THEY WILL
00:14:53.26\00:15:00.26
OPEN THEIR HOUSES
AND THEIR HEARTS FOR YOU.
00:15:00.26\00:15:03.03
THAT'S WHY THIS SUMMER WHEN
WE WERE THERE, WE VISITED OUR
00:15:03.03\00:15:08.20
WORKER WHO IS
WORKING IN ISTANBUL AT HOME.
00:15:08.20\00:15:11.10
AND IT WAS AN ENORMOUS
PRIVILEGE FOR HIS FAMILY.
00:15:11.10\00:15:15.43
HE IS SHARING A VERY SMALL
APARTMENT WITH HIS MOTHER AND
HIS SISTER'S FAMILY.
00:15:15.43\00:15:21.46
AND HE IS WORKING A REALLY
UNEXPLAINABLE, FOR ME, JOB.
00:15:23.66\00:15:25.66
HIS WORK IS AMAZING.
00:15:25.66\00:15:27.10
HE IS DOING THAT WITH JUST ONE
VERY OLD COMPUTER IN THE CORNER
00:15:27.10\00:15:32.73
OF HIS VERY SMALL BEDROOM.
00:15:41.46\00:15:42.93
AND LAST SUMMER HE SHOWED
US THAT HE BEGAN TO WORK ON THE
00:15:42.93\00:15:48.53
WEBSITE PRESENTING THE
DOCTRINES OF THE BIBLE.
00:15:52.83\00:15:56.63
NOW HE LOADED "JESUS", THE WHOLE
MOVIE AND THE WEBSITE COULD BE
00:15:56.63\00:16:02.73
VISITED BY ALL OVER THE WORLD.
00:16:04.80\00:16:07.50
AND I TALKED WITH THEM LAST WEEK
AND HE WAS SO EXCITED BECAUSE HE
00:16:07.50\00:16:13.10
TOLD ME JUST IN ONE DAY ABOUT 24
HOURS THE WEBSITE WAS VISITED BY
00:16:13.10\00:16:19.16
160 PEOPLE. WHAT A BLESSING!
00:16:21.40\00:16:23.63
HE TOLD ME IF SOMEBODY COULD
HELP ME TO HAVE JUST TWO MORE
00:16:23.63\00:16:28.80
POWERFUL COMPUTERS, A PHONE TO
BE IN TOUCH WITH PEOPLE ALL THE
TIME AND A SMALL PLACE
00:16:28.80\00:16:35.93
WHERE I CAN MAKE
A KIND OF STUDIO.
00:16:35.93\00:16:39.80
HE IS IN THE PROCESS OF
STARTING INTERNET RADIO.
00:16:39.80\00:16:43.43
OH YES.
00:16:43.43\00:16:45.40
AND THE IDEA TO START THIS RADIO
BEGAN FROM MY COUNTRY, FROM
00:16:45.40\00:16:51.46
BULGARIA. THAT'S WHY IT IS VERY
DIFFICULT FOR ME TO SEPARATE THE
00:16:54.00\00:16:58.93
COUNTRIES THERE BECAUSE WE
HAVE TURKS IN BULGARIA AND IN
00:16:58.93\00:17:03.90
MACEDONIA, TOO. SURE.
00:17:03.90\00:17:05.33
AND SO WE DON'T HAVE A PASTOR IN
BULGARIA WHO IS SPEAKING TURKISH
00:17:05.33\00:17:12.26
BUT SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT ABLE
TO UNDERSTAND VERY WELL
BULGARIAN, THEY WANT TO
00:17:12.26\00:17:17.80
LISTEN TO SERMONS AND WE HAVE
JUST ONE PERSON FROM TURKISH
00:17:17.80\00:17:23.86
ORIGIN WHO IS
WORKING IN BULGARIA.
00:17:28.46\00:17:30.43
AND THEY ARE CONNECTED AND
HE ASKED OUR WORKER, GOSPEL
00:17:30.43\00:17:37.36
OUTREACH IN ISTANBUL, IF THERE
IS ANYWAY FOR HIM TO LOAD SOME
00:17:37.36\00:17:44.20
SERMONS ON THE WEBSITE.
00:17:44.20\00:17:45.20
IN THIS WAY PEOPLE
CAN LISTEN TO SERMONS.
00:17:45.20\00:17:48.16
YOU KNOW RUMI, I WANT TO TALK
DIRECTLY TO OUR VIEWERS JUST A
00:17:48.16\00:17:54.83
LITTLE BIT HERE.
00:17:54.83\00:17:56.30
YOU STILL HAVE IN MIND, AS I
DO, THE APPEAL I HEARD RUMI MAKE
00:17:56.30\00:18:01.96
JUST MINUTES AGO FOR THIS YOUNG
WORKER WHO IS DOING AS MUCH AS
HE CAN; SO MUCH WITH SO
00:18:04.50\00:18:11.50
LITTLE AND HE NEEDS RESOURCES
IN ORDER JUST AMPLIFY AND EXTEND
00:18:11.50\00:18:17.56
THE MINISTRY THAT HE HAS
UNDERTAKEN AND I CAN BEGIN JUST
A LITTLE TO SHARE HIS
00:18:20.96\00:18:26.70
EXCITEMENT---160 HITS IN ONE 24
HOUR PERIOD TO HIS NEW WEBSITE
00:18:26.70\00:18:31.23
INDICATES PROBABLY THOUSANDS OF
OTHERS WHO MAYBE SEEING IT BUT
00:18:35.73\00:18:41.26
HAVE NOT RESPONDED YET.
00:18:41.26\00:18:42.66
SO, IF YOU ARE WONDERING IF
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS A VALUABLE
00:18:42.66\00:18:48.26
PLACE FOR YOUR INVESTMENTS, I
DON'T KNOW IF I'M SPEAKING OFF
LIMITS NOW BUT YOU MIGHT LIKE TO
00:18:48.26\00:18:54.46
SPECIFICALLY ASSIST RUMI'S
REGION WITH PROVIDING SOME
RESOURCES TO GET THOSE
00:18:54.46\00:19:00.60
COMPUTERS.
00:19:04.06\00:19:05.46
I JUST WANT TO
LEAVE THAT WITH YOU.
00:19:05.46\00:19:07.73
RIGHT NOW, THE ADDRESS FOR
GOSPEL OUTREACH, THE WEBSITE,
00:19:07.73\00:19:12.80
THE EMAIL ADDRESS, AND THE
TELEPHONE NUMBER IS ALL RIGHT
THERE AND I WANT TO ENCOURAGE
00:19:12.80\00:19:16.76
YOU TO BE IN TOUCH
WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:19:16.76\00:19:19.73
THIS IS YOUR MINISTRY TOO.
00:19:19.73\00:19:21.16
YOU ARE A PART OF THE GOSPEL
OUTREACH FAMILY AND THIS IS A
00:19:21.16\00:19:26.26
WAY THAT YOU CAN EVEN CONNECT
WITH RUMI'S REGION ALL THE WAY
OVER TO TURKEY, BULGARIA,
00:19:26.26\00:19:31.20
MACEDONIA BECAUSE GOD'S PEOPLE
ARE THERE AND JESUS IS WAITING
00:19:31.20\00:19:37.66
FOR THEM TO BE
GATHERED IN TO HIS KINGDOM.
00:19:37.66\00:19:39.60
SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS
AND THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU WILL
00:19:39.60\00:19:45.06
DO. THANK YOU.
00:19:45.06\00:19:46.06
RUMI, THAT'S VERY MOVING FOR ME.
00:19:46.06\00:19:48.30
I'M GOING BACK JUST A LITTLE BIT
BECAUSE THIS IS, AND FOR WANT OF
00:19:48.30\00:19:51.10
A BETTER WORD, THIS IS A
REVOLUTIONARY IDEA THAT YOU HAVE
00:19:51.10\00:19:57.16
PROPOSED BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE
REVOLUTIONARY BECAUSE PAUL SAID
WHEN IN ROME DO AS THE ROMANS
00:20:02.96\00:20:06.73
DO. YES.
00:20:06.73\00:20:08.00
YOU ARE JUST TAKING THIS SAME
PRINCIPLE WHEN MINISTERING TO
00:20:08.00\00:20:10.76
GOD'S PEOPLE WHO ARE IN
THE MUSLIM WORLD, YOU BECOME A
00:20:10.76\00:20:17.36
MUSLIM. YES.
00:20:17.36\00:20:18.70
HOW DID YOU BECOME A MUSLIM?
00:20:18.70\00:20:24.76
WHAT DID THAT MEAN TO YOU?
00:20:26.93\00:20:28.36
WHAT IT MEANS TO ME-JUST TO LOVE
PEOPLE BECAUSE AS A BIOLOGICAL
00:20:28.36\00:20:34.23
SPECIES WE ARE THE SAME AND I
REALIZE THAT WE CAN HAVE FRIENDS
00:20:34.23\00:20:40.70
EVERYWHERE. ONCE WE MENTION THAT
WE HAD DIFFERENT RELIGIONS AND
00:20:40.70\00:20:48.10
WE BECAME ENEMIES. DIVIDE.
00:20:48.10\00:20:49.43
YES.
00:20:49.43\00:20:50.70
DID YOU PUT ON HEADDRESS AND?
00:20:50.70\00:20:52.53
NO, NO.
00:20:52.53\00:20:55.96
SO, THAT WASN'T NECESSARY?
00:20:55.96\00:21:00.70
NO, NO.
00:21:00.70\00:21:01.70
YOU WERE ONE OF THEM?
00:21:01.70\00:21:02.70
NO.
00:21:02.70\00:21:03.70
YOU KNOW ISTANBUL IS NOT TURKEY.
00:21:03.70\00:21:06.10
O.K.
00:21:06.10\00:21:07.10
ISTANBUL IS A VERY SECULAR CITY.
00:21:07.10\00:21:09.10
O.K.
00:21:09.10\00:21:10.50
SO THIS MAKES WESTERNERS TO
MISUNDERSTAND TURKEY, ESPECIALLY
00:21:10.50\00:21:16.16
BECAUSE THEY
ACCEPT ISTANBUL AS TURKEY.
00:21:23.36\00:21:25.30
THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO
EXPLAIN TO OUR NEW DIRECTOR IN
00:21:25.30\00:21:32.43
ISTANBUL. HE IS FROM ROMANIA.
00:21:32.43\00:21:33.63
HIS NAME IS DANIEL NYE.
00:21:33.63\00:21:39.93
I WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO
HIM THAT JUST TO BE IN ISTANBUL
00:21:39.93\00:21:45.53
DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU ARE SAFE.
00:21:45.53\00:21:47.16
BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE TO
WORK IN TURKEY, ESPECIALLY.
00:21:47.16\00:21:50.50
IF YOU LEAVE ISTANBUL, YOU
WILL FACE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
00:21:53.00\00:21:58.20
REALITY. OH YES.
00:21:58.20\00:22:00.46
AND BECAUSE I HAVE TURKISH
FRIENDS IN MY COUNTRY AND
THEY'RE VERY ACCEPTABLE,
00:22:00.46\00:22:06.53
VERY OPEN BUT ONCE THEY FEEL
THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO CHANGE
00:22:09.86\00:22:17.46
THEIR WORLD THEY WILL SHUT UP
AND THEY WILL NEVER OPEN THEIR
HEARTS AGAIN FOR YOU.
00:22:17.46\00:22:24.36
NEVER?
00:22:24.36\00:22:25.33
NEVER.
00:22:25.33\00:22:26.33
NEVER BECAUSE YOU
BROKE THEIR TRUST.
00:22:26.33\00:22:28.33
YES.
00:22:28.33\00:22:29.33
YES.
00:22:29.33\00:22:30.80
THAT'S WHY I WAS TRYING TO
EXPLAIN TO DANIEL THAT HE MUST
00:22:30.80\00:22:36.40
BE VERY WISE IF HE WANTS TO
ORGANIZE OUR MISSION THERE OR
CHURCH MISSION THERE IN TURKEY
00:22:38.60\00:22:44.66
SUCCESSFULLY.
00:22:47.26\00:22:48.66
WHAT KIND OF INTERFACING,
INTERACTING IS THERE BETWEEN THE
00:22:48.66\00:22:54.33
FEWER THAN 100 BELIEVERS IN
TURKEY AND OTHER PEOPLE IN THEIR
00:23:00.56\00:23:06.86
COMMUNITIES? DO
THEY HAVE CONNECTIONS?
00:23:06.86\00:23:10.66
UNFORTUNATELY, NO.
00:23:10.66\00:23:13.33
THEY DON'T HAVE SUCH CONNECTIONS
BECAUSE MOST OF THEM ARE
00:23:13.33\00:23:19.10
FOREIGNERS. OH REALLY.
00:23:19.10\00:23:20.10
YES.
00:23:20.10\00:23:21.43
THEY DON'T, SOMEHOW THEY HAVE
NOT RECEIVED THE CONCEPT THAT
00:23:21.43\00:23:27.16
YOU HAVE ABOUT HOW WE RELATE
TO THE REST OF THE POPULATION.
00:23:30.20\00:23:33.50
NO, THIS IS NOT MY CONCEPT.
00:23:33.50\00:23:36.36
THIS IS THE CONCEPT OF
OUR TURKISH PASTOR THERE.
00:23:36.36\00:23:40.66
YES, NO I MEAN
YOU VOICE IT FOR THEM.
00:23:40.66\00:23:44.96
AS I TOLD YOU, HE IS FROM
BULGARIA, YES, BUT HE HAS BEEN
SENT THERE TO WORK IN
00:23:44.96\00:23:51.70
TURKEY ABOUT 17 YEARS AGO.
00:23:51.70\00:23:53.93
IS THAT RIGHT?
00:23:53.93\00:23:55.26
YES, SO FINALLY, FINALLY DANIEL
AND I REALIZED AFTER SO MANY
00:23:55.26\00:24:02.90
CONVERSATIONS AND MORE PEOPLE
THAN ME WERE INVOLVED, O.K., AND
00:24:02.90\00:24:08.93
TALKED TO HIM AND TRYING TO
EXPLAIN BECAUSE HE IS PRETTY NEW
00:24:11.90\00:24:17.36
THERE. SURE.
00:24:17.36\00:24:18.66
AS THE CULTURE, AS THE LANGUAGE
HE DOESN'T KNOW THE LANGUAGE AND
00:24:18.66\00:24:22.90
HE DOESN'T KNOW THE CULTURE.
00:24:22.90\00:24:25.13
SO FINALLY HE UNDERSTOOD
THAT HE MUST SEPARATE THE TWO
00:24:25.13\00:24:31.20
APPROACHES. O.K.
00:24:33.66\00:24:35.30
THE CHRISTIAN APPROACH TO WORK
WITH MUSLIMS AND THE MUSLIMS
00:24:35.30\00:24:43.03
APPROACH TO WORK WITH MUSLIMS.
00:24:43.03\00:24:44.76
THEY ARE NOT THE SAME.
00:24:44.76\00:24:46.60
WOW!
00:24:46.60\00:24:47.66
YOU HAVE GIVEN US SIGNIFICANT
FOOD FOR THOUGHT, RUMI.
00:24:47.66\00:24:53.73
I MADE REFERENCE TO THE ONE
COMPUTER NEED THAT YOU SPOKE OF.
00:24:57.26\00:25:02.00
WHAT DO YOU HAVE AS YOUR VISION
FOR THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORK IN
00:25:02.00\00:25:08.06
YOUR REGION?
00:25:10.00\00:25:11.06
I'M WORKING NOW ON MY REPORT
ABOUT WHAT I HAVE DONE THERE AND
00:25:13.80\00:25:19.96
IT IS NOT EASY FOR ME BECAUSE AS
I TOLD YOU; THERE IS NO WAY TO
SEPARATE THE WORK FOR
00:25:19.96\00:25:27.13
GOSPEL OUTREACH IN
BULGARIA, MACEDONIA AND TURKEY.
00:25:27.13\00:25:31.56
TURKEY IS A LITTLE BIT FAR FROM
TURKEY BUT WHEN I WAS THERE, OUR
00:25:31.56\00:25:39.50
PEOPLE THERE READY VERY EXCITED
TO WORK TOGETHER WITH THEIR
BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN
00:25:39.50\00:25:46.03
TURKEY.
00:25:46.03\00:25:47.50
SO WHAT IS MY VISION THAT I
SPOKE WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE
00:25:47.50\00:25:52.36
BULGARIAN UNION? BECAUSE WE MET
WITH THEM SEVERAL TIMES AND WE
WERE DISCUSSING HOW EVENTUALLY
00:25:52.36\00:25:58.43
WE CAN START TO WORK
WITH THE MUSLIMS IN BULGARIA.
00:26:01.96\00:26:05.03
SO, IN ISTANBUL THE NEW DIRECTOR
AND THE COMMITTEE THERE, THEY
00:26:05.03\00:26:11.10
VOTED FOR OUR TURKISH PASTOR TO
MOVE IN THE WEST PART OF
ISTANBUL BECAUSE HE'S BEEN
00:26:17.63\00:26:25.43
WORKING IN THE
VERY CENTER OF ISTANBUL.
00:26:25.43\00:26:28.40
AND NOW HE IS MOVING TO THE AREA
OF ISTANBUL WHICH IS CLOSER TO
00:26:28.40\00:26:34.40
BULGARIA. RUMI, YOU KNOW
I JUST LOOKED AT THE CLOCK.
00:26:34.40\00:26:38.33
WE NEED TO TALK MORE SO
THAT YOU CAN DETAIL LOTS OF THIS
00:26:38.33\00:26:44.60
INFORMATION. WE NEED TO KNOW IT
AND SO I'M JUST GOING TO SAY A
BIG THANK YOU TO YOU,
00:26:44.60\00:26:49.56
RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I THINK I
CATCH YOUR VISION BUT WE NEED TO
00:26:49.56\00:26:54.00
TALK SOME MORE ABOUT.
00:26:54.00\00:26:55.20
I'M GOING TO SEE IF WE CAN
ARRANGE TO DO ANOTHER PROGRAM
00:26:55.20\00:26:57.83
O.K. WHEN WE CAN
EXPLORE THIS MORE.
00:26:57.83\00:26:59.93
THANK YOU FOLKS FOR BEING WITH
US AND I WANT YOU TO BE WITH US
00:26:59.93\00:27:06.50
NEXT TIME TOO. [CLOSING MUSIC].
00:27:06.50\00:27:11.16
I NEED TO SPREAD
THE GOSPEL HERE AT HOME.
00:27:11.16\00:27:18.03
WHERE IS THE
10/40 WINDOW ANYWAY?
00:27:18.03\00:27:21.73
THOSE PEOPLE ARE TOO FAR AWAY.
00:27:21.73\00:27:24.36
SOMEONE ELSE CAN
TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS.
00:27:24.36\00:27:26.80
MAYBE THEY COULD JUST WATCH TV?
00:27:26.80\00:27:30.46
NEARLY THREE BILLION
PEOPLE TO REACH, MY HEAD HURTS.
00:27:30.46\00:27:36.06
THERE'S NOTHING I
CAN DO, I GIVE UP.
00:27:36.06\00:27:39.16
WHAT'S THE POINT OF TRYING?
00:27:39.16\00:27:40.96
I CAN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:27:40.96\00:27:42.33
ACTUALLY YOU CAN MAKE A
DIFFERENCE AND JESUS ASKED YOU
00:27:42.33\00:27:48.80
TO GO TO ALL THE WORLD.
00:27:48.80\00:27:49.80
WHERE?
00:27:49.80\00:27:50.80
ALL THE WORLD.
00:27:50.80\00:27:52.66
HOW CAN I GO I HAVE COMMITMENTS?
00:27:52.66\00:27:54.86
YOU CAN PRAY.
00:27:54.86\00:27:57.00
YOU CAN VOLUNTEER YOUR TALENTS.
00:27:57.00\00:28:01.96
YOU CAN TELL OTHERS.
00:28:01.96\00:28:05.96
YOU CAN GIVE MONEY TO
SPONSOR BIBLE WORKERS.
00:28:05.96\00:28:08.80
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE SEARCHING
FOR HOPE AND MEANING BUT THEY
00:28:08.80\00:28:12.46
WON'T FIND IT WITHOUT YOU.
00:28:12.46\00:28:13.90
BE THE SPARK.
00:28:13.90\00:28:15.40
LIGHT THE FIRE.
00:28:15.40\00:28:17.80
FINISH THE WORK.
00:28:17.80\00:28:21.66
FINISH THE WORK.
00:28:21.66\00:28:25.50
BE THE SPARK.
00:28:25.50\00:28:29.43
