[OPENING MUSIC].
00:00:00.53\00:00:22.86
HELLO, EVERYBODY.
00:00:22.86\00:00:24.03
SO GLAD TO WELCOME YOU TO
ANOTHER GOSPEL OUTREACH PROGRAM.
00:00:24.03\00:00:27.90
"ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS" BRINGS
YOU THE FRONTLINE STORIES OF WHO
00:00:27.90\00:00:33.73
PEOPLE ARE, WHERE THEY ARE
AND WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH GOSPEL
00:00:33.73\00:00:37.60
OUTREACH MINISTRY. I RESIST, AT
A TIME LIKE THIS, LAUNCHING INTO
MY EXPLANATION OF GOSPEL
00:00:37.60\00:00:43.66
OUTREACH AND WHAT A
MIRACLE MINISTRY THIS IS.
00:00:43.66\00:00:47.30
I'VE JUST BEEN COUNTING UP ON
MY FINGERS, GOSPEL OUTREACH IS
00:00:47.30\00:00:52.76
CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF MINISTRY
AND THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE
MINISTRY HAS GROWN AROUND
00:00:52.76\00:00:59.00
THE WORLD IS NOTHING
SHORT OF DIVINE MIRACLES.
00:00:59.00\00:01:03.43
AND NOT THE LEAST OF THOSE AREAS
WHERE THE WORK HAS GROWN IS WEST
00:01:03.43\00:01:07.73
AFRICA. I'M SO DELIGHTED THAT
KAREN AND GLEN WINTERMEYER ARE
HERE WITH US AGAIN IN
00:01:07.73\00:01:10.70
ANOTHER PROGRAM AND MORE STORIES
ABOUT WHAT GOD IS DOING IN THAT
00:01:10.70\00:01:16.76
PART OF HIS FIELD.
00:01:20.03\00:01:21.03
SO, WHAT ARE WE TALKING
ABOUT TODAY-EITHER OF YOU.
00:01:21.03\00:01:23.80
TELL ME WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.
00:01:23.80\00:01:24.80
DID YOU EVER HEAR ABOUT
THE GUY THAT BUILT AN ARK?
00:01:24.80\00:01:27.50
ONCE UPON A
WONDER, I KNOW THAT STORY.
00:01:27.50\00:01:29.60
WELL, I'M GOING TO TELL YOU
ABOUT THIS GUY THAT'S BUILDING A
00:01:29.60\00:01:33.93
DIFFERENT KIND OF
AN ARK IN BAMAKO, MALI.
00:01:33.93\00:01:36.46
O.K.
00:01:36.46\00:01:37.90
IT ALL STARTED OUT WHEN THIS GUY
WAS A KID, HIS BROTHER CAME HOME
00:01:37.90\00:01:41.63
ONE DAY AND HE SAID,"YOU KNOW
WHAT" HE SAID, "I KNOW SOMEBODY
00:01:41.63\00:01:45.40
WHO KNOWS THE
BIBLE BETTER THAN YOU."
00:01:45.40\00:01:48.16
AND MY FRIEND, BECAUSE HE HAS
BECOME A GOOD FRIEND OVER THE
00:01:48.16\00:01:51.90
YEARS OF
SUPERVISION THERE, SAID.
00:01:51.90\00:01:53.66
IS THIS HE?
00:01:53.66\00:01:54.90
THAT'S HIM.
00:01:54.90\00:01:55.76
HE IS ONE OF OUR
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS?
00:01:55.76\00:01:57.90
HE HAS BEEN-O.K.
00:01:57.90\00:01:59.96
HE IS NOW A PASTOR
IN THE MALI MISSION.
00:02:01.73\00:02:06.00
WOW.
00:02:06.00\00:02:07.20
AND NOAH, THAT'S HIS NAME, NOAH
BUILDING THE ARK FOR SAFETY.
00:02:07.20\00:02:12.43
I SEE WHAT
YOU'RE DRIVING AT GLEN.
00:02:12.43\00:02:15.56
ANYWAY, NOAH SAID, "I'M GOING
TO CHECK THIS GUY OUT BECAUSE NO
00:02:15.56\00:02:20.46
ONE KNOWS THE
BIBLE BETTER THAN ME."
00:02:20.46\00:02:21.90
SO HE STARTED STUDYING WITH
THIS FELLOW THAT HIS BROTHER
00:02:21.90\00:02:27.90
INTRODUCED HIM TO AND SURE
ENOUGH, NOAH DISCOVERED THERE
WAS SOMEBODY WHO KNEW THE
00:02:27.90\00:02:33.76
BIBLE BETTER THAN HIM.
00:02:33.76\00:02:37.70
AMAZING!
00:02:37.70\00:02:40.40
HE WAS GOING TO MAKE-ACTUALLY,
NOAH WANTED TO MAKE HIM INTO A
00:02:40.40\00:02:45.50
PENTECOSTAL INDIVIDUAL BUT IT
DIDN'T REALLY TURN OUT THAT WAY.
00:02:45.50\00:02:52.63
THE TABLES KIND OF TURNED?
00:02:52.63\00:02:54.00
THE TABLES TURNED.
00:02:54.00\00:02:55.93
HE DISCOVERED THAT HIS BROTHER
WAS RIGHT AND THIS GUY REALLY
00:02:55.93\00:03:01.23
KNEW THE BIBLE BETTER AND AT 18
NOAH WAS BAPTIZED INTO THE
SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH.
00:03:01.23\00:03:06.63
ALREADY HE WAS A
MINISTER IN THE PENTECOSTAL?
00:03:06.63\00:03:09.23
NO, HE WAS JUST ATTENDING
THE PENTECOSTAL CHURCH.
00:03:09.23\00:03:11.80
OH, I SEE.
00:03:11.80\00:03:12.80
O.K.
00:03:12.80\00:03:14.23
HE WAS A PART OF IT AND HE HAS
JUST BEEN A VERY SPIRIT DIRECTED
00:03:14.23\00:03:18.90
INDIVIDUAL OVER THE YEARS.
00:03:18.90\00:03:19.90
WOW.
00:03:19.90\00:03:22.56
BUT HIS MOTHER WAS A CATHOLIC
AND HE WOULD GO TO CHURCH WITH
00:03:22.56\00:03:29.76
HER BUT INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH,
DAD HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS
00:03:29.76\00:03:36.43
ARRANGEMENT. HE DIDN'T LIKE ANY
CHURCH REGARDLESS OF ITS NAME.
00:03:36.43\00:03:40.23
HE JUST WANTED TO AVOID THEM
AND SO MOM STILL GOT TO GO TO
00:03:40.23\00:03:47.96
CHURCH. SHE WAS A PRETTY
DETERMINED PERSON AND SHE WAS
ABLE TO GO TO CHURCH
00:03:47.96\00:03:51.50
ON A REGULAR BASIS.
00:03:51.50\00:03:53.20
HIS FATHER HATED ALL CHURCHES.
00:03:53.20\00:03:55.43
HE THOUGHT THEY WERE JUST
CORRUPT AND WANTED TO GET MONEY.
00:03:55.43\00:03:58.16
NOAH COULD SEE THAT THOSE
WHO WERE FOLLOWING JESUS WERE
00:04:00.76\00:04:07.06
DIFFERENT AND HE
WANTED TO HAVE A PART OF THAT.
00:04:07.06\00:04:10.53
AND SO, HE STARTED STUDYING AND
STUDYING AND STUDYING TO FIND
00:04:10.53\00:04:17.13
OUT WHAT THE BIBLE HAD TO SAY
ABOUT SALVATION, CHRISTIANITY,
FORGIVENESS AND ALL THOSE
00:04:17.13\00:04:24.83
DIFFERENT KINDS OF THINGS.
00:04:24.83\00:04:25.83
HE WANTED TO KNOW IT.
00:04:25.83\00:04:28.00
AM I JUMPING AHEAD OF YOUR STORY
IF I ASK WHAT IMPACT NOAH'S
00:04:28.00\00:04:33.23
BAPTISM HAD ON HIS FATHER?
00:04:33.23\00:04:35.73
WELL, THAT'S WHERE THE
STORY GETS INTERESTING.
00:04:35.73\00:04:40.36
I THINK IT IS AN ONGOING,
UNFOLDING STORY WHAT FATHER
00:04:40.36\00:04:45.03
THINKS ABOUT THIS
BUT I'LL GET TO THAT.
00:04:45.03\00:04:47.50
BUT HIS BAPTISM-HE WAS
WAITING TO BE BAPTIZED.
00:04:47.50\00:04:52.03
AT FIRST, HE NEVER TOLD
HIS FATHER BECAUSE HE KNEW HIS
00:04:52.03\00:04:58.16
FATHER HATED ANY CHURCH-
HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH RELIGION.
00:04:58.16\00:05:00.63
HATED ANY CHURCH.
00:05:00.63\00:05:02.03
NOAH GREW UP IN NORTHERN TOGO
AND JUST OUT IN THE BUSH IN A
00:05:02.03\00:05:08.00
THATCHED HUT. VERY REMOTE PLACE.
00:05:18.10\00:05:19.53
HE HAD EIGHT BROTHERS
AND SISTERS FROM A POLYGAMUS
00:05:19.53\00:05:26.66
MARRIAGE. THERE WERE
FOUR MOMS AND ONE DAD.
00:05:26.66\00:05:29.16
CAN YOU IMAGINE GETTING
ALONG IN A SITUATION LIKE THAT?
00:05:29.16\00:05:32.86
NO, I DON'T EVEN
WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT.
00:05:32.86\00:05:35.43
BUT NOW, HIS MOTHER WAS THE
CATHOLIC SO THERE WERE THREE
00:05:35.43\00:05:42.03
OTHERS WHO MAY NOT HAVE BEEN?
00:05:42.03\00:05:43.43
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THOSE WERE
AND LITTLE BY LITTLE THOSE WOMEN
00:05:43.43\00:05:47.83
WENT AWAY BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T
GET MONEY; THEY WEREN'T OBEDIENT
00:05:47.83\00:05:51.36
OR WHATEVER, WHATEVER SO IT
ENDED UP JUST HIS MOM BEING AT
HOME-WITH THE EIGHT
00:05:51.36\00:05:56.46
CHILDREN NOW?
00:05:56.46\00:05:57.46
YES.
00:05:57.46\00:05:58.40
SHE WAS A NURSE SO SHE
COULD EARN SOME INCOME.
00:05:58.40\00:06:03.10
THE OTHERS ALL LEFT BECAUSE THE
FATHER WOULDN'T GIVE THEM ANY
00:06:03.10\00:06:05.80
MONEY-THE WOMEN.
00:06:05.80\00:06:09.43
THEY LEFT THEIR
CHILDREN THERE, THOUGH?
00:06:09.43\00:06:11.43
THEY DIDN'T TAKE
THE CHILDREN WITH THEM?
00:06:11.43\00:06:13.86
I DON'T KNOW ALL THOSE DETAILS
OF HOW THAT ALL HAPPENED BUT YOU
00:06:13.86\00:06:18.96
KNOW IT WAS HARD LIVING.
00:06:18.96\00:06:20.30
YOU KNOW, WHEN I HEAR STORIES
LIKE THIS AND CONTRAST THOSE
00:06:20.30\00:06:26.03
EXPERIENCES WITH OUR LIVES AND
THE BLESSINGS THAT WE'VE COME TO
TAKE FOR GRANTED THAT,
00:06:33.63\00:06:40.56
YOU KNOW, WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT THOSE KINDS OF
RELATIONSHIPS, THOSE
00:06:40.56\00:06:46.00
KINDS OF PRESSURES.
00:06:46.00\00:06:47.40
INDEPENDENCE- WHATEVER.
00:06:47.40\00:06:49.50
THEN I REALIZE THAT LIKE IN YOUR
REGION THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE
00:06:49.50\00:06:55.56
THAT AS A REGULAR WAY OF THEIR
LIVES AND IF LIKE THE NOAH'S CAN
LEARN ABOUT JESUS, THEY
00:06:58.13\00:07:05.00
HAVE SOME HOPE
OF RELIEF FROM THAT.
00:07:05.00\00:07:09.46
AMEN.
00:07:09.46\00:07:10.96
IT MAKES THE GOSPEL OF THE
KINGDOM AND KNOWING JESUS SO
VERY, VERY ATTRACTIVE.
00:07:10.96\00:07:15.70
YES, FOR SURE.
00:07:15.70\00:07:17.43
WELL, HE MET -THERE WAS AN
ADVENTIST GROUP, A COMPANY, IF
00:07:17.43\00:07:22.90
YOU PLEASE, IN NORTHERN
TOGO BUT THERE WAS NO CHURCH.
00:07:22.90\00:07:26.03
THEY WOULD MEET UNDER A TREE.
00:07:26.03\00:07:28.03
THEY WOULD MEET
IN SOMEBODY'S HOUSE.
00:07:28.03\00:07:31.20
THEY WOULD MEET IN THE
EVENING AROUND THE FIRE.
00:07:31.20\00:07:36.56
SO IT WAS A VERY INFORMAL KIND
OF SITUATION BUT IT WAS UNDER
00:07:36.56\00:07:43.00
THESE TREES IN THIS KIND OF A
RELATIONSHIP THAT NOAH MET THE
00:07:43.00\00:07:49.40
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS WHO HAD
BEEN TRAINED IN TOGO TO GO OUT
AND DO CHURCH PLANTING.
00:07:49.40\00:07:55.60
WOW.
00:07:55.60\00:07:56.76
AND SO THAT WAS NOAH'S FIRST
INTRODUCTION TO GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:07:56.76\00:08:00.40
INTERNATIONAL.
00:08:00.40\00:08:02.46
SO THAT REMINDS ME TO TELL OUR
VIEWERS THAT'S WHY WE HAVE
GOSPEL OUTREACH--TO
00:08:03.73\00:08:11.10
CROSS PATHS WITH
HUNGERING AND THIRSTING PEOPLE.
00:08:11.10\00:08:13.96
AMEN.
00:08:13.96\00:08:14.96
AMEN.
00:08:14.96\00:08:15.96
IT WAS WONDERFUL.
00:08:15.96\00:08:17.30
ANYWAY, HIS DAD WENT TO
CANADA TO STUDY AGRONOMY.
00:08:17.30\00:08:23.86
ALL THE WAY TO CANADA FROM TOGO?
00:08:23.86\00:08:25.86
ALL THE WAY TO
CANADA TO STUDY AGRONOMY.
00:08:25.86\00:08:30.73
SO HE IS AN EDUCATED MAN.
00:08:30.73\00:08:32.33
HE IS AN ENGINEER, AN
AGRICULTURAL ENGINEER AND HE HAD
00:08:32.33\00:08:36.96
A FARM. IS THAT A
PICTURE OF HIS FARM?
00:08:36.96\00:08:38.46
SIMILAR.
00:08:38.46\00:08:39.43
O.K.
00:08:39.43\00:08:40.33
BUT IT IS AMAZING-
THEY FARM A LITTLE PIECE.
00:08:40.33\00:08:44.20
THERE ARE LITTLE PIECES
ALL OVER LOOKING LIKE THIS.
00:08:44.20\00:08:50.23
ANY PLACE THEY CAN DIG A WELL
AND WATER IS NOT THAT FAR INTO
00:08:52.90\00:08:56.36
THE GROUND THERE. THEY WILL DIG
A HOLE IN THE GROUND,
FIFTEEN-TWENTY FEET.
00:08:56.36\00:08:59.10
THESE WERE EIGHTEEN FOOT WELLS
WHERE THEY WERE IRRIGATING THAT
00:08:59.10\00:09:02.16
LETTUCE. SO THEY WOULD IRRIGATE.
00:09:02.16\00:09:06.73
BUT DAD, NOAH'S DAD, DEMANDED
THAT HE GO OUT INTO THE FIELDS
00:09:06.73\00:09:13.23
AND WORK. IN AFRICA, THE
FATHERS ARE VERY, VERY STERN AND
00:09:13.23\00:09:15.23
SERIOUS. THEY DON'T JOKE.
00:09:15.23\00:09:17.13
THEY DON'T PLAY
WITH THE CHILDREN.
00:09:17.13\00:09:21.20
THEY ARE JUST-WELL-HIS
RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS DAD WAS NO
00:09:21.20\00:09:28.13
DIFFERENT. HE DID
NOT HAVE A LOVING FATHER.
00:09:28.13\00:09:30.46
HE NEVER TOLD HIM THAT HE HAD
BECOME A SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST
00:09:30.46\00:09:34.66
PASTOR. THAT HE WAS TAKING
THE MINISTRY TRACK TO GET AN
00:09:34.66\00:09:39.36
EDUCATION. HE STILL HAS
NOT TOLD HIM THAT TO THIS DAY.
00:09:39.36\00:09:42.33
DO THEY LIVE NEAR EACH OTHER?
00:09:44.30\00:09:45.70
NO.
00:09:45.70\00:09:46.70
O.K.
00:09:46.70\00:09:48.16
NOAH LIVES IN BAMAKO, MALI WHERE
HE IS WORKING FOR THE BAMAKO OR
00:09:48.16\00:09:54.10
FOR THE MALI MISSION.
00:09:54.10\00:09:55.10
YOU KNOW THAT IS SOMETHING
I WAS GOING TO TELL YOU.
00:09:55.10\00:09:57.16
HIS PASTOR WAS FIXING TO BAPTIZE
HIM AND WHEN IT CAME HIS TURN,
00:09:57.16\00:10:03.30
THE PASTOR WAS JUST BAPTIZING
THE PEOPLE THAT WERE THERE, SO
HE HAD TO ASK WHAT IS YOUR
00:10:03.30\00:10:07.10
NAME?
00:10:07.10\00:10:08.50
WELL, THERE WAS SOMEBODY
STANDING THERE WITH A BIBLE OPEN
00:10:08.50\00:10:13.00
AND THE GENTLE BREEZE WAS
BLOWING THE PAGES AND ALL OF A
00:10:13.00\00:10:18.00
SUDDEN GUESS WHAT? THERE IS
THE STORY IN GENESIS OF NOAH.
00:10:18.00\00:10:23.50
NOAH HEARD THAT STORY, HE HEARD
GOD CALLING HIM NOAH AND HE
00:10:23.50\00:10:30.30
HEARD IT THREE
TIMES AS HE WAS BAPTIZED.
00:10:30.30\00:10:32.93
THE PASTOR SAID,
"WHAT IS YOUR NAME?"
00:10:32.93\00:10:39.80
WELL, HIS NAME WAS SOME OTHER
NAME AND SO HE BECAME NOAH AT
00:10:39.80\00:10:45.50
HIS BAPTISM.
00:10:45.50\00:10:46.50
HE SAID, "MY NAME IS NOAH."
00:10:46.50\00:10:47.66
AND EVER SINCE THEN
EVERYBODY HAS CALLED HIM NOAH.
00:10:47.66\00:10:51.10
DOES HE HAVE A
FAMILY NAME BESIDES THAT?
00:10:51.10\00:10:53.56
YES, SIMDINATOME BUT HE IS NOAH.
00:10:53.56\00:10:57.00
BUT HE IS NOAH
TO ALL HIS FRIENDS.
00:10:57.00\00:10:59.00
THAT'S A FASCINATING STORY.
00:10:59.00\00:11:00.43
I'VE RUN INTO ACCOUNT WHERE
PEOPLE HAVE ADOPTED NAMES ALL OF
00:11:00.43\00:11:05.43
A SUDDEN BECAUSE SOMEBODY
COULDN'T PRONOUNCE THEIR NAME OR
THEY WERE IMPRESSED THAT
00:11:05.43\00:11:09.76
THAT'S WHAT
THEIR NAME SHOULD BE.
00:11:09.76\00:11:12.16
YES.
00:11:12.16\00:11:13.63
WELL, WHEN HE DIDN'T GO TO WORK
IN THE FIELDS AND I DON'T KNOW
00:11:13.63\00:11:15.56
IF WE'VE GOT THAT CLIP HERE OR
NOT, BUT WHEN HE WOULD GO OUT
INTO THE FIELDS AND WORK AND HE
00:11:15.56\00:11:21.33
DIDN'T GO OUT TO WORK OR HE
WAS BAD OR DIDN'T DO WORK WELL
00:11:21.33\00:11:25.83
ENOUGH HIS
FATHER WOULD BEAT HIM.
00:11:25.83\00:11:26.83
THERE WE GO.
00:11:26.83\00:11:28.30
YES, HERE IS NOAH WORKING OUT IN
THE FIELDS AND YOU CAN SEE THEM
00:11:28.30\00:11:32.53
PULLING THE WATER AND
THE WATERING CAN THERE.
00:11:32.53\00:11:34.93
THEY GO AND WATER THAT LETTUCE.
00:11:34.93\00:11:36.60
NOAH WENT OUT IN THE SITUATION
LIKE THIS AND PULLED THE WEEDS
00:11:36.60\00:11:40.00
AND KEPT THE FIELDS CLEAN.
00:11:40.00\00:11:41.00
SO HE KNOWS FARMING.
00:11:41.00\00:11:42.63
HE GREW UP IN A
FARMING ENVIRONMENT.
00:11:42.63\00:11:48.96
DOES HIS FATHER NOT
APPRECIATE WHAT HE DOES?
00:11:48.96\00:11:51.40
I DON'T KNOW.
00:11:54.13\00:11:56.53
MAYBE.
00:11:56.53\00:11:58.06
BUT THERE IS NOT WHAT WE WOULD
EVALUATE AS A LOVING, CARING
00:11:58.06\00:12:04.20
FATHER SON RELATIONSHIP.
00:12:07.30\00:12:08.30
THERE CERTAINLY WASN'T.
00:12:08.30\00:12:09.30
GO AHEAD, KAREN.
00:12:09.30\00:12:10.30
LET'S RUN THE CLIP ABOUT
AND TELL ABOUT HIS FATHER.
00:12:10.30\00:12:14.70
O.K.
00:12:14.70\00:12:16.16
THERE HE IS, NOAH, SHOWING HOW
HE WOULD GET A BEATING FROM HIS
00:12:16.16\00:12:21.76
FATHER AND WHEN HE WAS DONE
BEATING THERE WOULD BE LARGE
WELTS AND PROBABLY SOME BLOOD ON
00:12:24.16\00:12:30.46
HIS BACK AND ON HIS SHIRT.
00:12:30.46\00:12:32.66
IT WASN'T A PLEASANT SITUATION.
00:12:32.66\00:12:35.10
NOW, IN EACH OF THE PICTURES
I'VE SEEN OF NOAH, HE'S GOT A
00:12:35.10\00:12:38.73
FINGER BANDAGED AND
QUITE A BANDAGE ON HIS ARM.
00:12:38.73\00:12:42.46
HE HAD AN ACCIDENT AND HE HAD
AN INFECTION WHEN WE WERE THERE.
00:12:42.46\00:12:45.26
OH, O.K.
00:12:45.26\00:12:46.63
HE ARRANGED THAT JUST FOR
THE DAY WE WERE THERE DOING THE
00:12:46.63\00:12:49.30
PHOTO SHOOT. THE DAY
BEFORE IT WASN'T THERE.
00:12:49.30\00:12:51.00
WE ARRANGED FOR THE PHOTO SHOOTS
AND I SAID, "NOAH, WHAT DID YOU
00:12:51.00\00:12:55.43
DO TO YOUR HAND?"
00:12:55.43\00:12:56.43
HE CUT HIS FINGER REALLY BAD.
00:12:56.43\00:12:59.06
OH DEAR.
00:12:59.06\00:13:00.50
BUT YOU NOTICE WHERE HE WAS
SHOWING HOW HIS FATHER BEAT HIM
00:13:00.50\00:13:04.63
AND THEN HE EXPLAINED TO US THAT
THERE IN THEIR COUNTRY, A FATHER
NEVER PLAYED WITH THE
00:13:04.63\00:13:10.70
CHILDREN.
00:13:13.60\00:13:15.66
THEY NEVER JOKED OR PLAYED
AND SO THE CHILDREN WERE ALWAYS
00:13:16.93\00:13:22.03
AFRAID OF THEIR FATHER.
00:13:22.03\00:13:24.26
HIS RELATIONSHIP WAS NO
DIFFERENT WITH HIS FATHER SO
THAT IS WHY HE DIDN'T
00:13:24.26\00:13:29.76
TELL HIM HE BECAME A SEVENTH DAY
ADVENTIST CHURCH MEMBER BECAUSE
00:13:29.76\00:13:33.43
HE KNEW HIS FATHER
HATED ALL CHURCHES.
00:13:33.43\00:13:35.43
OH WOW, NOW IN THIS PICTURE
WE HAVE JUST BEEN VIEWING THERE,
00:13:35.43\00:13:39.66
WHAT IS THAT NOAH IS DOING?
00:13:39.66\00:13:41.10
NOAH, AT THE TIME THAT HE WAS
BAPTIZED-IT WAS LIKE THE HOLY
00:13:41.10\00:13:47.20
SPIRIT BEGAN TO SPEAK TO
HIM-"NOAH I WOULD LIKE YOU TO BE
00:13:49.70\00:13:53.83
A PASTOR." "I WANT YOU TO SERVE
AS A GOSPEL CHURCH PLANTER."
00:13:53.83\00:13:59.73
AND SO HE BEGAN TO PRAY AND
TO FAST AND ASK THE LORD FOR
00:13:59.73\00:14:06.26
DIRECTION. HE PRAYED EARNESTLY.
00:14:06.26\00:14:07.96
SO HE IS ON HIS
KNEES PRAYING HERE.
00:14:07.96\00:14:09.96
HE IS ON HIS KNEES PRAYING.
00:14:09.96\00:14:10.96
WOW.
00:14:10.96\00:14:12.10
ONE MORNING HE DECIDED I NEED
TO BE HONEST WITH MY FATHER.
00:14:12.10\00:14:17.40
BECAUSE HE'D GO OUT TO THE
FIELDS AND THEN HE'D RUN AWAY
00:14:17.40\00:14:22.16
AND GO TO CHURCH. THEN HE SAID,
"NO, I CAN'T DO THAT I NEED TO
BE HONEST WITH MY FATHER.
00:14:22.16\00:14:26.03
I NEED TO TELL HIM."
00:14:26.03\00:14:27.43
SO THE NEXT SABBATH MORNING
HE GOT UP AND GOT DRESSED FOR
00:14:27.43\00:14:32.90
CHURCH AND HE TOLD HIS FATHER.
00:14:32.90\00:14:33.90
HIS FATHER SAID,
"WHERE ARE YOU GOING?"
00:14:33.90\00:14:35.90
HE SAID, "I AM
GOING TO CHURCH TODAY."
00:14:35.90\00:14:38.50
HIS FATHER RAISED HIS VOICE
VERY LOUDLY AND SAID, "WHAT?"
00:14:38.50\00:14:43.53
"WHAT?
00:14:43.53\00:14:44.53
YOU ARE GOING TO CHURCH TODAY?
00:14:44.53\00:14:45.53
TODAY IS SATURDAY.
00:14:45.53\00:14:46.53
THERE IS NO CHURCH TODAY."
00:14:46.53\00:14:49.00
AND HE SAID, "YES, THERE IS.
00:14:49.00\00:14:51.10
IT IS THE SEVENTH
DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH."
00:14:51.10\00:14:53.10
AH HA.
00:14:53.10\00:14:55.26
THERE IS THE LOGO.
00:14:55.26\00:14:56.63
YES, THAT IDENTIFIES
ADVENTISM ALL OVER THE WORLD.
00:14:56.63\00:14:59.70
IT SURE DOES AND
THE THREE ANGELS.
00:14:59.70\00:15:01.76
YES.
00:15:01.76\00:15:03.86
SO AT THIS POINT, HE LEFT HOME.
00:15:03.86\00:15:06.76
HE SAID THERE WAS
NO MORE REASON TO STAY.
00:15:06.76\00:15:08.83
HE WAS EIGHTEEN AND WENT TO
ANOTHER VILLAGE AND FENDED FOR
00:15:08.83\00:15:14.86
HIMSELF. THESE ARE THE HOUSES
IN A TYPICAL VILLAGE THEN?
00:15:19.50\00:15:22.53
THEY ARE.
00:15:22.53\00:15:23.93
YOU SEE THESE ALL ACROSS
WEST AFRICA IN THE SAHARA AND
00:15:23.93\00:15:29.26
SUBSAHARA AREAS
OF THESE COUNTRIES.
00:15:29.26\00:15:30.66
THE NORTHERN PARTS OF THE
COASTAL COUNTRIES HAVE THESE
00:15:30.66\00:15:36.33
THATCHED BUILDINGS
OF ONE SHAPE OR ANOTHER.
00:15:36.33\00:15:40.50
HE WAS PRAYING, FASTING
AND HE HAPPENED UPON A BROCHURE
00:15:40.50\00:15:46.56
ADVERTISING NO LESS THAN
THE ADVENTIST UNIVERSITY IN
00:15:49.36\00:15:52.80
CAMAROON. IS THAT RIGHT?
00:15:52.80\00:15:55.43
WOW.
00:15:55.43\00:15:56.46
SO HE BEGAN TO MAKE
PLANS BUT HE NEEDED SOME MONEY.
00:15:56.46\00:16:00.70
WHERE WAS HE
GOING TO GET THE MONEY?
00:16:00.70\00:16:02.70
SO HE TALKED TO HIS FOLKS
AN ASKED THEM TO PITCH IN SOME
00:16:02.70\00:16:06.53
MONEY. HIS FATHER?
00:16:06.53\00:16:07.70
AND HIS MOTHER.
00:16:07.70\00:16:08.80
HE WENT TO HIS DAD AND
SAID "I NEED TWO HUNDRED BUCKS."
00:16:08.80\00:16:11.53
HIS FATHER WAS VERY RELUCANT BUT
FINALLY IN THE END HIS FATHER
00:16:14.20\00:16:18.66
GAVE HIM $200.
00:16:18.66\00:16:20.76
IS THAT RIGHT?
00:16:20.76\00:16:22.06
HIS DAD DID, SO YOU WERE ASKING
WHEN WAS THE ICE BEGINNING TO
00:16:22.06\00:16:25.96
MELT. MAYBE THERE?
00:16:25.96\00:16:28.20
YOU KNOW, WHO KNOWS.
00:16:28.20\00:16:29.56
SOMETIME DOWN IN THE FUTURE FROM
NOW DAD MAY FINALLY SAY, SON YOU
00:16:29.56\00:16:31.80
HAVE BEEN AN INTEGRAL PART IN
ME BECOMING A FOLLOWER OF JESUS
00:16:31.80\00:16:37.83
CHRIST. WELL, UNDOUBTEDLY
THAT WILL BE THE CASE.
00:16:41.70\00:16:43.80
HE LEFT FOR SCHOOL ON A BUS BUT
WHAT HE DIDN'T KNOW WAS THAT HE
00:16:45.83\00:16:50.20
WAS GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE A VERY
SMALL BOAT ON THE OCEAN TO GET
00:16:50.20\00:16:56.40
TO THE SCHOOL? TO GET TO
CAMAROON-TO GET PART WAY TO
WHERE HE WAS GOING TO SCHOOL.
00:16:56.40\00:16:59.93
HE WAS SCARED TO
DEATH AND HE DOES NOT SWIM.
00:16:59.93\00:17:04.03
THAT REMINDS ME, TWO YEARS AGO I
WAS THERE IN BAMAKO AND WE WENT
00:17:04.03\00:17:07.66
OUT ON THE NIGER RIVER AND
I'M NOT AFRAID OF WATER AT ALL.
00:17:07.66\00:17:12.13
I NOTICED HE WAS A LITTLE BIT
EDGY AND I THOUGHT, OH, OH, THIS
00:17:12.13\00:17:17.36
BOY DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO SWIM.
00:17:17.36\00:17:18.96
I ASKED HIM.
00:17:18.96\00:17:19.83
NOAH SAID, "NO, I
DON'T KNOW HOW TO SWIM."
00:17:19.83\00:17:21.96
HERE WE ARE OUT ON THE
MIDDLE OF THE NIGER RIVER.
00:17:21.96\00:17:24.26
I WAS HAVING A GOOD TIME AND
POOR NOAH WAS SCARED TO DEATH.
00:17:24.26\00:17:27.70
SURE.
00:17:27.70\00:17:29.10
BUT HE SAID HE PRAYED, "LORD
SAVE ME" THE WHOLE TIME HE WAS
00:17:29.10\00:17:34.66
IN THIS BOAT. THAT'S ONE OF
THOSE BOATS THAT COULD ROLL OVER
WITHTHO EXCUSE AT ALL.
00:17:34.66\00:17:38.36
YES.
00:17:38.36\00:17:39.36
SO HE NEEDED MONEY.
00:17:39.36\00:17:43.53
SO HE WOULD CANVAS.
00:17:43.53\00:17:45.16
HE WOULD SELL BOOKS AND HERE YOU
SEE HIM KNOCKING ON THE DOOR OF
00:17:45.16\00:17:51.30
A HOME THERE IN HIS
VILLAGE LOOKING FOR A SALE.
00:17:51.30\00:17:58.40
GOOD LITERATURE TO SELL TO
PEOPLE THAT WOULD HELP THEM AND
00:17:58.40\00:18:03.26
IT WOULD HELP HIM GO TO SCHOOL.
00:18:03.26\00:18:04.56
THE $200 HE REQUESTED FROM HIS
FATHER-HOW FAR DID THAT GO WITH
00:18:04.56\00:18:08.56
HIS EDUCATION?
00:18:08.56\00:18:10.26
WELL, I WOULD
IMAGINE A FAIR WAYS.
00:18:10.26\00:18:13.16
SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS WAS THE COST
AT THAT TIME FOR HIM TO GO TO
00:18:13.16\00:18:18.36
SCHOOL FOR A YEAR.
00:18:18.36\00:18:19.36
I THINK THAT WAS
JUST PROBABLY TUITION.
00:18:19.36\00:18:22.20
O.K.
00:18:22.20\00:18:23.60
BESIDES THAT THEY NEEDED FOOD
AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE SLEPT,
00:18:23.60\00:18:28.80
YOU KNOW, UNDER A TREE?
00:18:28.80\00:18:30.23
WHO KNOWS?
00:18:30.23\00:18:31.23
VERY RUSTIC, VERY
DIFFICULT CONDITIONS.
00:18:31.23\00:18:33.56
YOU KNOW, I CAN'T HELP BUT BE
REMINDED THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE
00:18:33.56\00:18:39.63
SO BASICALLY AND ULTIMATELY
DEDICATED TO THE LORD NO MATTER
WHAT THE OBSTACLES ARE-NO
00:18:41.96\00:18:45.63
MATTER WHAT THE RESOURCES OR
LIMITED RESOURCES MAY BE, THEY
00:18:45.63\00:18:51.70
ARE GOING TO FOLLOW THE LORD.
00:18:54.33\00:18:56.76
DEEPLY COMMITTED.
00:18:56.76\00:18:59.36
AND HE BECAME A GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKER, YES, AND THEN A PASTOR.
00:18:59.36\00:19:04.03
THEN A PASTOR.
00:19:04.03\00:19:06.10
THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF PEOPLE
THAT GOSPEL OUTREACH REALLY IS
00:19:07.06\00:19:12.10
DEPENDENT UPON
ALL ACROSS THE FIELD.
00:19:12.10\00:19:15.76
WELL, IT'S THE FUNDS THAT WE, IN
NORTH AMERICA, GENERATE TO HELP
00:19:15.76\00:19:19.03
THIS HAPPEN.
00:19:19.03\00:19:20.53
IN LIBERIA RIGHT NOW, THE
LIBERIA CONFERENCE, ONE OF THE
COUNTRIES I GO TO, HAS
00:19:20.53\00:19:25.76
JUST TAKEN ALL OF THEIR LAY
BIBLE WORKERS AND TURNED THEM IN
00:19:25.76\00:19:31.80
TO PASTORS AND ARE
FUNDING THEM ACCORDINGLY.
00:19:31.80\00:19:33.83
THEY HAVE BEEN
FUNCTIONING AS THAT FOR YEARS.
00:19:33.83\00:19:36.36
NOW, THAT MEANS-BUT MANY OF
THEM START AS GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:19:36.36\00:19:42.43
WORKERS. YES.
00:19:42.43\00:19:43.76
YES, AND THAT'S THE REAL WAY
GOSPEL OUTREACH WAS INTENDED TO
00:19:43.76\00:19:45.43
WORK BY HELPING ESTABLISH WORK
AND THEN WHEN IT IS ESTABLISHED
00:19:45.43\00:19:47.43
THE LOCAL MISSION OR THE FIELD
TAKES OVER THAT AND THEN WE CAN
SUPPLEMENT WITH ADDITIONAL
00:19:47.43\00:19:53.50
WORKERS.
00:19:55.63\00:20:01.76
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT'S HAPPENING.
00:20:01.76\00:20:03.76
IT IS REALLY, REALLY NEAT.
00:20:03.76\00:20:05.46
I'M DELIGHTED.
00:20:05.46\00:20:06.46
HOW MANY MORE
PICTURES DO YOU HAVE?
00:20:06.46\00:20:08.90
ONE.
00:20:08.90\00:20:09.90
ONE MORE?
00:20:09.90\00:20:10.90
ALL RIGHT LET US GO TO THAT NOW.
00:20:10.90\00:20:12.90
HE IS PRAYING BECAUSE IN
SCHOOL HE SUFFERED SO MUCH.
00:20:12.90\00:20:15.86
HE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE FOOD TO EAT
SOMETIMES AND HE SAID, "I HATED
00:20:15.86\00:20:21.50
MY FATHER SO MUCH BECAUSE I WAS
SUFFERING SO MUCH IN SCHOOL."
00:20:21.50\00:20:25.46
HE SAID, "BUT SINCE THEN I HAVE
LEARNED THAT-- I HAVE LEARNED TO
00:20:25.46\00:20:29.20
FORGIVE MY FATHER."
00:20:29.20\00:20:30.20
WOW.
00:20:30.20\00:20:31.10
HE SAID, "BECAUSE I
KNOW JESUS WANTS ME TO."
00:20:31.10\00:20:33.20
HERE IS THE NEAT THING, DAN;
JUST RECENTLY DAD INVITED HIM
00:20:33.20\00:20:39.23
HOME. CAN YOU IMAGINE?
00:20:42.83\00:20:44.20
HERE IS THE FATHER AFTER
ALL THESE YEARS-29 YEARS OF
00:20:44.20\00:20:49.23
REJECTING HIS SON, GIVING HIM A
BAD TIME AND DAD SAYS TO COME ON
00:20:49.23\00:20:54.30
HOME. HE WENT HOME.
00:20:54.30\00:20:55.30
NOAH WENT HOME.
00:20:55.30\00:20:56.70
HE WENT TO HIS FATHER'S HOME IN
NORTHERN TOGO AND DAD ACTUALLY
00:20:56.70\00:21:02.33
SAT DOWN, GAVE HIM A GLASS OF
JUICE TO DRINK AND FOR THE FIRST
TIME IN 29 YEARS, THESE
00:21:02.33\00:21:09.60
TWO MEN'S EYES LOCKED AND SMILED
IN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF EACH
00:21:09.60\00:21:16.03
OTHER. HE SAID, "HE
ASKED ME WHAT I AM DOING?"
00:21:16.03\00:21:19.76
FOR HIS WORK, FOR HIS JOB
SO THIS IS WHAT HE TOLD HIM: HE
00:21:19.76\00:21:26.53
SAID, "I VISIT PEOPLE.
00:21:26.53\00:21:28.23
I MAKE FRIENDS.
00:21:28.23\00:21:30.73
I HELP PEOPLE.
00:21:30.73\00:21:31.73
I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE
TO BE GOOD PEOPLE."
00:21:31.73\00:21:35.63
SO HIS FATHER WAS PLEASED
WITH THAT AND SMILED AT HIM.
00:21:35.63\00:21:38.76
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME EVER
IN HIS LIFE HIS FATHER SMILED AT
00:21:38.76\00:21:42.66
HIM. WOW.
00:21:42.66\00:21:43.66
HE IS NOW 29.
00:21:43.66\00:21:46.60
THIS IS ALL TESTIMONY OF THE
TRANSFORMING POWER OF JESUS
CHRIST IN YOUR LIFE.
00:21:46.60\00:21:52.63
YES.
00:21:56.03\00:21:57.40
THIS YOUNG MAN, THE STORY YOU'VE
TOLD ABOUT NOAH, WHERE HE WAS
00:21:57.40\00:22:01.93
AND THE EXPERIENCE HE'S BEEN
THROUGH AND YES, 29 YEARS-IT
00:22:01.93\00:22:06.10
SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED A LOT
SOONER FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE BUT
IN GOD'S TIMING, THE FATHER
00:22:06.10\00:22:12.40
WAS PROBABLY NOW READY TO ACCEPT
HIS SON ON KIND OF AN EVEN BASIS
00:22:12.40\00:22:18.46
BECAUSE HE SEES HIM BEING A
VERY, VERY IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTOR
TO LIFE AND HE'S TAKING
00:22:20.53\00:22:26.60
CARE OF HIMSELF.
00:22:29.26\00:22:30.63
THAT'S ANOTHER THING THAT MUST
MAKE THAT FATHER VERY PROUD, OF
00:22:30.63\00:22:33.86
COURSE. YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE?
00:22:33.86\00:22:35.86
NOAH IS NOW
SUPERVISING, GUESS WHO?
00:22:35.86\00:22:39.40
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS.
00:22:39.40\00:22:41.10
YES.
00:22:41.10\00:22:42.33
HE'S GOT SEVERAL OF THEM THAT HE
IS SUPERVISING THERE IN BAMAKO.
00:22:42.33\00:22:44.30
IS THAT RIGHT?
00:22:44.30\00:22:45.50
NOW, BAMAKO IS A PART OF TOGO?
00:22:45.50\00:22:50.06
NO, THAT IS MALI.
00:22:50.06\00:22:51.10
OH YES, YOU DID SAY THAT O.K.
00:22:51.10\00:22:53.06
IT IS A VERY LARGE COUNTRY.
00:22:53.06\00:22:55.13
I SUPPOSE ABOUT THE SIZE OF
TEXAS-NOT REAL SURE, BUT BAMAKO
00:22:55.13\00:22:59.30
IS DOWN IN THE SOUTHWESTERN
PART OF THE COUNTRY AND IT'S THE
00:22:59.30\00:23:01.53
CAPITAL. YOU GO UP INTO THE
NORTH INTO TIMBUKTU AND
LITERALLY INTO THE SAHARA
00:23:01.53\00:23:06.03
DESERT.
00:23:06.03\00:23:07.46
NOW IT'S ALSO, I THINK, VERY
INSTRUCTIVE FOR US TO BE AWARE
00:23:07.46\00:23:10.06
THAT THROUGHOUT ALL OF THIS
EXPERIENCE THAT NOAH HAS HAD,
THERE COULD HAVE BEEN PROBABLY
00:23:10.06\00:23:12.86
NO BETTER PREPARATION FOR HIS
GOSPEL OUTREACH LEADERSHIP THAN
00:23:12.86\00:23:18.93
TO GO THROUGH THOSE EXPERIENCES
AND UNDERSTAND WHERE ALL OF
THOSE PEOPLE ARE, WHERE
00:23:30.33\00:23:36.16
THEY COME FROM AND WHAT IT TAKES
TO REACH THEM AT THE LEVEL OF
00:23:36.16\00:23:43.10
THEIR EXPERIENCE. HE ENCOURAGES
THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS TO
MAKE SACRIFICES FOR THE LORD.
00:23:43.10\00:23:47.80
HE SAID, "LOOK HOW MUCH
THE LORD HAS DONE FOR US?"
00:23:47.80\00:23:52.36
I MEAN-NOW GET OUT
THERE AND GET TO WORK.
00:23:52.36\00:23:55.03
NOW, HE IS NOT A MARRIED MAN.
00:23:55.03\00:23:57.10
OH, BUT HE WILL BE IN DECEMBER.
00:23:57.10\00:23:59.46
OH, IS THAT RIGHT?
00:23:59.46\00:24:00.86
YES.
00:24:00.86\00:24:02.23
I'VE BEEN PRAYING FOR A GOOD
WIFE AND HE WILL BE MARRIED AND
00:24:02.23\00:24:05.83
HAS HAD TO COME UP WITH THE
DOWRY-THE WHOLE NINE YARDS OF A
VERY-DID YOU MEET HER WHEN
00:24:05.83\00:24:08.80
YOU WERE THERE?
00:24:08.80\00:24:09.66
NO, BUT I'M LOOKING
FORWARD TO SEEING HER.
00:24:09.66\00:24:11.80
BUT HE SAID TO US, "YOU MEAN
IN THE UNITED STATES, YOU DON'T
00:24:11.80\00:24:17.86
HAVE TO PAY
ANYTHING FOR YOUR WIFE?"
00:24:20.53\00:24:21.86
OH, BUT JUST WAIT.
00:24:21.86\00:24:23.90
HE SAID, "WELL, NO WONDER
THERE ARE SO MANY SPLIT UPS AND
00:24:23.90\00:24:30.06
DIVORCES. THEY DON'T
HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING."
00:24:30.06\00:24:32.46
AND SHE OBVIOUSLY IS A BELIEVER.
00:24:32.46\00:24:35.53
YES.
00:24:35.53\00:24:36.53
OH YES.
00:24:36.53\00:24:37.40
IT IS GOING TO BE AN
ASSET TO HIS MINISTRY.
00:24:37.40\00:24:40.33
YES, FOR SURE.
00:24:40.33\00:24:41.50
HOW MANY GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS IN REGION 4?
00:24:41.50\00:24:44.76
FIFTY FIVE.
00:24:44.76\00:24:46.30
HOW MANY DOES NOAH
DIRECT IN HIS WORK?
00:24:46.30\00:24:48.30
WELL, THERE ARE FIVE IN MALI AND
HE IS DIRECTING TWO OR THREE OF
00:24:48.30\00:24:53.70
THEM. THREE.
00:24:53.70\00:24:54.70
O.K.
00:24:54.70\00:24:55.70
VERY GOOD.
00:24:55.70\00:24:57.10
WELL YOU KNOW, I JUST HAVE
TO SAY AND I'LL SAY THIS FOR THE
00:24:57.10\00:25:00.76
BENEFIT OF OUR VIEWERS.
00:25:00.76\00:25:02.10
I CATCH THE EXCITEMENT IN YOUR
VOICES AS YOU REMEMBER THE MARY
00:25:02.10\00:25:07.66
IN THE EARLIER PROGRAM
THAT WE'VE HAD AND NOW THE NOAH.
00:25:07.66\00:25:10.50
THE WORK IS ALL ABOUT PEOPLE AND
INDIVIDUALS YOU GET TO KNOW AND
00:25:10.50\00:25:16.83
GET TO LOVE AND
GET TO APPRECIATE.
00:25:16.83\00:25:18.73
WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO BE INVOLVED
WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH WITH THOSE
00:25:18.73\00:25:23.46
KINDS OF
RELATIONSHIPS THAT HAPPEN?
00:25:23.46\00:25:25.03
TO SEE WHAT THE LORD DOES IN
EVERYONE'S LIFE IS JUST AWESOME.
00:25:25.03\00:25:30.23
WELL, I CAN SEE IT ALL OVER YOUR
FACES THAT YOU'VE BEEN BLEST TO
00:25:30.23\00:25:34.70
BE A PART OF THIS MINISTRY AND
I'M GLAD YOU COULD GO THIS TIME,
00:25:34.70\00:25:38.63
KAREN. I KNOW GLEN IS NOT GOING
TO BE ABLE TO GO ALONE AGAIN,
00:25:38.63\00:25:45.03
EVER. SO ANYWAY, GOD
BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR
00:25:45.03\00:25:48.73
LEADERSHIP. THANK YOU FOR THE
CONNECTION THAT YOU MAKE FOR
GOSPEL OUTREACH WITH
00:25:48.73\00:25:54.80
YOUR PEOPLE THERE AND ONLY IN
THE KINGDOM WILL ANY OF US KNOW
00:25:59.23\00:26:03.70
WHAT NOAH HAS
DONE OR WHO HE HAS MET.
00:26:03.70\00:26:05.06
THE JOY OF YOUR LIFE IS GOING TO
BE TO RETURN THERE SOMETIME AND
00:26:05.06\00:26:08.86
EXTEND THE HAND OF
FELLOWSHIP TO THAT FATHER.
00:26:08.86\00:26:10.86
AMEN.
00:26:10.86\00:26:11.83
I DIDN'T TAKE TIME TO
ASK YOU ABOUT THE MOTHER.
00:26:11.83\00:26:13.86
IS THERE STILL AN ONGOING
RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS MOTHER?
00:26:13.86\00:26:15.83
YES.
00:26:15.83\00:26:16.83
O.K.
00:26:16.83\00:26:17.83
SHE MUST
APPRECIATE WHAT HE DOES.
00:26:17.83\00:26:19.83
I'M SURE SHE DOES.
00:26:19.83\00:26:21.13
O.K.
00:26:21.13\00:26:22.46
WELL, THIS IS JUST MORE OF
THE CIRCLE OF GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:26:22.46\00:26:26.26
FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
00:26:26.26\00:26:27.76
I WANT TO THANK KAREN AND GLEN
WINTERMEYER FOR THEIR LEADERSHIP
00:26:27.76\00:26:33.00

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE GOSPEL
OUTREACH FAMILY WAY OVER
00:26:33.00\00:26:38.23
THERE IN WEST AFRICA.
00:26:38.23\00:26:40.73
BUT GOD'S HAND IS WORKING HERE
AT HOME AS WELL IN EACH OF OUR
00:26:40.73\00:26:46.00
LIVES TO INSPIRE US TO BE A PART
OF A MINISTRY THAT WILL HASTEN
THE COMING OF JESUS

00:27:15.56\00:27:18.26
[CLOSING MUSIC].
00:27:18.26\00:27:19.10
I NEED TO SPREAD
THE GOSPEL HERE AT HOME.
00:27:19.10\00:27:21.23
WHERE IS THE
10/40 WINDOW ANYWAY?
00:27:21.23\00:27:23.23
THOSE PEOPLE ARE TOO FAR AWAY.
00:27:23.23\00:27:24.86
SOMEONE ELSE CAN
TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS.
00:27:24.86\00:27:27.30
MAYBE THEY COULD JUST WATCH TV?
00:27:27.30\00:27:31.00
NEARLY THREE BILLION
PEOPLE TO REACH, MY HEAD HURTS.
00:27:31.00\00:27:36.60
THERE'S NOTHING I
CAN DO, I GIVE UP.
00:27:36.60\00:27:39.66
WHAT'S THE POINT OF TRYING?
00:27:39.66\00:27:41.70
I CAN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:27:41.70\00:27:43.33
ACTUALLY YOU CAN MAKE A
DIFFERENCE AND JESUS ASKED YOU
00:27:43.33\00:27:50.26
TO GO TO ALL THE WORLD.
00:27:50.26\00:27:51.26
WHERE?
00:27:51.26\00:27:52.26
ALL THE WORLD.
00:27:52.26\00:27:53.26
HOW CAN I GO I HAVE COMMITMENTS?
00:27:53.26\00:27:55.36
YOU CAN PRAY.
00:27:55.36\00:27:57.50
YOU CAN VOLUNTEER YOUR TALENTS.
00:27:57.50\00:28:02.43
YOU CAN TELL OTHERS.
00:28:02.43\00:28:06.46
YOU CAN GIVE MONEY TO
SPONSOR BIBLE WORKERS.
00:28:06.46\00:28:09.30
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE SEARCHING
FOR HOPE AND MEANING BUT THEY
00:28:09.30\00:28:12.96
WON'T FIND IT WITHOUT YOU.
00:28:12.96\00:28:14.40
BE THE SPARK.
00:28:14.40\00:28:15.90
LIGHT THE FIRE.
