09:11 GOSPEL OUTREACH. 09:13 THROUGH THE WORK OF JOHN BLAKE MUCH OF THE FUNDING HAS BEEN PROVIDED. 09:19 THE LORD HAS WORKED ON A DOCTOR'S HEART IN CANADA. 09:24 HE HAD MARRIED SOMEBODY FROM THE PHILIPPINES SO HE HAD A SPECIAL BURDEN FOR 09:29 IT. 09:31 TOTALING EVERYTHING TOGETHER FROM WHAT HE HAS GIVEN AND WHAT OTHERS HAVE 09:35 GIVEN THROUGH AN ORGANIZATION CALLED "A BETTER WORLD" WE HAVE NOW 09:40 SENT TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO HELP BUILD THAT SCHOOL. 09:43 THE SETTING OF THE PICTURE THAT WE WERE JUST LOOKING AT IS BEAUTIFUL. 09:49 TO SEE THAT BUILDING THERE, IT WOULD BE AN INSPIRATION TO ANYBODY TO 09:54 BE ABLE TO GO TO SCHOOL IN A PLACE LIKE THAT. 09:56 THERE ARE BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDINGS. 09:58 THERE ARE MOUNTAINS ALL AROUND. 09:59 THEY HAVE A FRESH WATER SUPPLY AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO EVENTUALLY HAVE A SMALL 10:04 HYDRO-ELECTRIC PLANT. 10:06 AS WE GO ONTO THE CAMPUS THIS IS THE FIRST BUILDING THAT WAS BUILT. 10:11 THIS IS WHAT THEY CALL A BODEGA OR A STORAGE ROOM. 10:16 THAT'S WHERE THE PEOPLE LIVED WHEN THEY WERE WORKING ON THE REST OF THE 10:22 MPUS. 10:23 THIS IS THE CLASS ROOM THAT HAS NOW BEEN COMPLETED AND IS READY TO 10:26 BE USED. 10:27 IT'S QUITE SUBSTANTIAL AND ROOM ENOUGH FOR TWO CLASSES. 10:31 THIS IS SARA FAMISARAN. 10:33 SHE IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE SCHOOL. 10:35 THIS SCHOOL AND WORK FOR THE DEAF IS TIED IN WITH THE SULADS. 10:43 HER HUSBAND WAS THE DIRECTOR OF SULADS, AND SHE HAS BEEN WORKING WITH 10:47 THEM. 10:49 SO WHILE IT'S A DEAF WORK UNDER JOHN, IT'S ALSO UNDER THE SULADS WHICH IS 10:53 UNDER ME. 10:55 WE ALL WORK TOGETHER ON THIS. 10:57 COOPERATION IS THE NAME OF THE GAME. 11:02 SHE IS SIGNING HER THANKS. 11:05 AGAIN, A VIEW OF THE GROUP THAT WAS THERE FOR THE DEDICATION OF THE 11:09 DORMITORY WHICH WE HAVEN'T SEEN YET. 11:11 WE STARTED IN THE CLASSROOM. 11:15 YOU CAN SEE THE SIZE OF THAT BUILDING. 11:17 IT'S A NICE LONG BUILDING THAT CAN BE DIVIDED IN THE CENTER INTO TWO 11:20 CLASSROOMS. 11:22 CURRENTLY THEY HAVE ABOUT NINE STUDENTS ATTENDING. 11:25 THE SCHOOL HAS STARTED AND THEY SEEM TO BE WORKING WELL. 11:30 ONE THING THAT KIND OF SURPRISED ME WAS THAT OF THESE EIGHT OR NINE 11:35 STUDENTS, THE LETTER THAT I GOT SAID THEY WERE ALL IN GRADE ONE AND THEY 11:42 VARIED FROM EIGHT TO TWENTY YEARS OLD. 11:45 NOW WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU? 11:47 THEY HADN'T HAD OPPORTUNITY FOR AN EDUCATION BEFORE. 11:49 RIGHT. 11:50 SO GOD HAS OPENED A DOOR SO THEY CAN LEARN TO READ AND WILL BE ABLE TO 11:55 EVENTUALLY READ THEIR OWN BIBLE. 12:00 THE DEAF GROUP THAT HAD ASSEMBLED FOR THAT OCCASION WAS VERY HAPPY TO 12:06 SIGN A SONG FOR US. 12:11 THEY HAVE DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB. 12:14 IT'S AMAZING TO ME TO SIT THERE AND WATCH THESE THINGS. 12:19 THIS IS THE DORMITORY, THE LAST BUILDING THAT HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED. 12:23 IT IS CAPABLE OF HOUSING ABOUT TWENTY. 12:29 CURRENTLY I THINK THE STAFF ARE LIVING IN THAT DORMITORY AS WELL. 12:35 ANOTHER VIEW OF THE DORMITORY FROM THE CLASSROOM. 12:37 THAT FIRST ONE WAS A VIEW FROM THE BODEGA. 12:40 THIS IS THE VIEW FROM THE CLASSROOM. 12:42 IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S AN ADEQUATE BUILDING. 12:49 WE GATHERED AROUND FOR A DEDICATION. 12:51 THE MAN IN THE PINK SHIRT IS A MAN BY THE NAME OF SONNY. 12:57 HE HAS VERY IMPAIRED HEARING. 13:04 HE IS FROM CAGAYAN DE ORO AND HAS BECOME ONE OF THE LEADERS OF THE GROUP 13:11 THERE. 13:12 HERE THE DEAF ARE EXPRESSING THEIR APPRECIATION FOR THE 13:22 SCHOOL THAT IS BEING BUILT ON THEIR BEHALF. 13:24 ARE THESE STUDENTS AT THE SCHOOL FROM A WIDE AREA OR ARE THEY FROM A LOCAL 13:31 COMMUNITY THERE? 13:32 PRIMARILY THEY COME FROM ALL OVER MINDANAO. 13:41 IS THIS THE ONLY SCHOOL LIKE IT IN MINDANAO? 13:43 THERE ARE OTHER DEAF SCHOOLS BUT T T RUN BY SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS. 13:45 THERE IS A LARGE DEAF SCHOOL DOWN IN THE DAVAO AREA. 13:52 WE WANTED TO HAVE AN ADVENTIST INFLUENCE, AND IN ANOTHER AREA OF 13:57 MINDANAO WHERE THE EDUCATION IS NOT AVAILABLE. 14:00 RIGHT. 14:01 THIS MAN WHO IS IN CHARGE OF OUR MUSLIM WORK FOR THE SULADS IS GIVING THE 14:16 DEDICATORY PRAYER. 14:18 JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE DEAF DOESN'T MEAN THEY ARE ISOLATED. 14:21 THEY ARE A PART OF THE GREATER SULADS OGRAM AS WELL. 14:24 THE DORMITORY IS QUITE WELL APPOINTED. 14:26 I GUESS SO. 14:27 THEY MAKE A LOT OF BAMBOO FURNITURE IN THE PHILIPPINES, AND SOME OF 14:33 IT IS PRETTY NICE LOOKING. 14:34 IT'S NOT ALL THAT COMFORTABLE TO SIT ON, BUT IT'S NICE LOOKING. 14:37 NOTICE THE TABLE OUT IN FRONT OF THE CHAIR. 14:44 THE DEAF ALPHABET AND BELOW THAT IS THE LIBRARY. 14:51 THE BOOKS THAT THEY CAN USE FOR THEIR REFERENCES. 14:55 THE DEAF ARE SAYING THANK YOU AND I LOVE YOU AS THEY ARE SEEING THEIR DORMITORY 15:04 FOR THE FIRST TIME. 15:09 SONNY AGAIN IS EXPRESSING HIS THANKS AND APPRECIATION IN PRAYER FOR 15:14 THE OPPORTUNITY OF HAVING THIS SCHOOL FOR HIS OWN PEOPLE. 15:18 THE LEADER OF THE COMMUNITY CAME TO TELL US HOW MUCH HE APPRECIATED 15:26 THAT WE HAD CHOSEN HIS AREA IN WHICH TO DO THIS. 15:29 UNDOUBTEDLY THIS WILL BRING SOME ECONOMIC VALUE TO THE AREA. 15:36 HE WAS VERY PLEASED THAT WE HAD CHOSEN TO COME TO HIS AREA. 15:43 THE WORK HAS NOT COME EASY IN BUILDING AND SETTING THIS ALL UP. 15:48 IF YOU LOOK CAREFULLY AT THIS YOUNG MAN HE HAS ONLY ONE ARM. 15:53 HE LOST THAT ARM IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT, BUT THAT YOUNG MAN CAN DO MORE 16:00 WORK WITH ONE HAND THAN MOST PEOPLE DO WITH TWO. 16:03 HE IS A CARPENTER. 16:05 HE CAN HANG CEILING BY HIMSELF WITH ONE HAND AND HIS HEAD. 16:12 I HAVE SEEN HIM DRIVE A CARABAO. 16:14 I'VE SEEN HIM HANDLE A SHOVEL. 16:16 HE JUST DOES EVERYTHING. 16:19 HE IS THE ONE WE HAVE CHOSEN TO BE ON SITE TO DEVELOP THE SCHOOL. 16:26 JOHN, YOU SPOKE EARLIER ABOUT A DOCTOR AND SOME OTHER DONORS WHO PROVIDED 16:34 THE RESOURCES TO BUILD THIS SCHOOL. 16:38 DOES IT THEN REMAIN THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE LOCAL PEOPLE TO DO THE 16:42 BUILDING?
