GOOD MORNING, WELL IT'S MORNING
WHERE WE ARE AT THIS POINT OF
00:00:16.83\00:00:22.73
PRODUCING ANOTHER "ADVENTURES
IN MISSIONS" PROGRAM.
00:00:22.73\00:00:25.93
WHATEVER TIME OF DAY IT IS WHILE
YOU' RE VIEWING THIS PROGRAM
00:00:25.93\00:00:31.20
WARMEST GREETINGS TO YOU AND
WELCOME TO ANOTHER "ADVENTURES
IN MISSIONS" PROGRAM ABOUT
00:00:31.20\00:00:37.43
GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:00:37.43\00:00:38.60
I HAVE SUCH A GOOD TIME.
00:00:38.60\00:00:42.03
A COUPLE OF TIMES A YEAR I GET
TO COME HERE TO COLLEGE PLACE
00:00:42.03\00:00:46.53
AND BE IN THIS STUDIO.
00:00:46.53\00:00:47.90
AND IT'S PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT
I THINK TODAY BECAUSE THE
00:00:47.90\00:00:54.00
PROGRAM YOU ARE WATCHING RIGHT
NOW IS PROGRAM NUMBER 500
PRODUCED IN THIS STUDIO AT
00:00:55.96\00:01:02.10
GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:01:04.63\00:01:06.10
SO JOIN US IN SAYING PRAISE THE
LORD FOR ALL OF THESE BLESSINGS.
00:01:06.10\00:01:11.20
AND AN ADDITIONAL BLESSING IS I
GET TO PRESENT, TO INTRODUCE MY
00:01:11.20\00:01:18.60
NEW FRIEND RUMIANA MOTZEV.
00:01:18.60\00:01:20.36
RUMIANA IT'S SO GOOD TO
HAVE YOU HERE WITH US AGAIN.
00:01:20.36\00:01:23.50
I'VE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF
SITTING HERE WITH YOU ONCE
BEFORE, AND WE DIDN'T
00:01:23.50\00:01:28.60
FINISH THE STORY.
00:01:28.60\00:01:29.93
SO WE GOT TO COME BACK AGAIN AND
TALK ABOUT THE MINISTRY THAT YOU
00:01:29.93\00:01:35.33
ARE INVOLVED WITH.
00:01:35.33\00:01:36.80
I'M REMEMBERING THAT YOU HAVE
BEEN A PART OF GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:01:36.80\00:01:44.63
SINCE ABOUT 2005. YOU STARTED
HERE, AND I FIND IT HARD TO
BELIEVE NOW, BUT YOU STARTED
00:01:44.63\00:01:47.26
HERE ALMOST NOT
ABLE TO SPEAK ENGLISH.
00:01:51.70\00:01:54.16
YES.
00:01:54.16\00:01:55.86
AND NOW YOU DO SO WELL SO I
GUESS WE HAVE TO SAY THANK YOU
00:01:55.86\00:02:02.30
FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH TO
KIND OF ASSIST IN THAT PROCESS.
00:02:02.30\00:02:04.93
YES.
00:02:04.93\00:02:06.26
THROUGHOUT THAT PROCESS YOU'VE
DONE ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT
00:02:06.26\00:02:11.60
NEEDED TO BE DONE AROUND
GOSPEL OUTREACH AS A VOLUNTEER.
00:02:11.60\00:02:15.26
AND LO AND BEHOLD A SPECIAL
REGION NEEDED A LEADER AND THEY
00:02:15.26\00:02:21.33
ASKED YOU. SO TELL
US ABOUT THAT REGION.
00:02:24.06\00:02:25.86
OKAY.
00:02:25.86\00:02:27.20
I WAS GOING TO PREPARE A MAP
JUST TO SHOW PEOPLE WHERE THE
00:02:27.20\00:02:32.90
REGION IS EXACTLY, BUT WE
DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO USE IT.
00:02:35.36\00:02:37.76
ANYWAY, BULGARIA
IS ON THE BALKANS.
00:02:37.76\00:02:43.80
THE PLACE OF OUR COUNTRY IS
VERY IMPORTANT IN POLITICAL AND
00:02:47.23\00:02:54.46
HISTORICAL AND
GEOGRAPHICAL POINTS.
00:02:54.46\00:02:56.46
ON THE SOUTH OF
BULGARIA IS GREECE AND TURKEY.
00:02:56.46\00:03:02.60
ON THE WEST IS
MACEDONIA AND SERBIA.
00:03:06.56\00:03:10.73
YOU KNOW, WE CAN PROBABLY TELL
PEOPLE IF THEY HAVE DIFFICULTY
00:03:10.73\00:03:15.06
FINDING BULGARIA ON THE
MAP, IF THEY WILL FIND GREECE.
00:03:15.06\00:03:17.26
YES.
00:03:17.26\00:03:18.60
IF THEY FIND GREECE AND THEY
LOOK TO THE NORTH THEY WILL SEE
00:03:18.60\00:03:22.53
BULGARIA THERE.
00:03:22.53\00:03:24.03
ALL OF US KNOW ABOUT WHERE
TURKEY IS ALSO, SO THEY'LL BE
ABLE TO FIND YOUR HOME
00:03:24.03\00:03:29.56
LAND.
00:03:31.66\00:03:32.66
YES.
00:03:32.66\00:03:34.80
YOU WERE BORN AND
RAISED IN BULGARIA?
00:03:34.80\00:03:36.80
YES.
00:03:36.80\00:03:37.80
YOUR HUSBAND AS WELL?
00:03:37.80\00:03:38.80
YES.
00:03:38.80\00:03:40.10
THE FOLKS DESERVE TO KNOW YOUR
HUSBAND IS A PROFESSOR AT WALLA
00:03:40.10\00:03:45.20
WALLA UNIVERSITY.
00:03:45.20\00:03:46.40
AND YOU HAVE ONE SON?
00:03:46.40\00:03:48.56
WE HAVE ONE SON
AND ONE DAUGHTER.
00:03:48.56\00:03:51.90
BOTH OF THEM GRADUATED
FROM WALLA WALLA UNIVERSITY.
00:03:51.90\00:03:54.76
OUR SON, A WEEK AFTER THE
GRADUATION LEFT WITH HIS WIFE TO
00:03:54.76\00:04:00.13
BULGARIA, TO EUROPE, AND OUR
DAUGHTER IS STILL IN THE STATES.
00:04:00.13\00:04:05.33
I SEE.
00:04:05.33\00:04:06.63
SO IN REALITY YOU WERE BORN
IN BULGARIA BUT NOW WE SAY HERE
00:04:06.63\00:04:13.63
YOU'RE A WASHINGTONIAN, A
PART OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON.
00:04:13.63\00:04:17.96
WE WELCOME YOU OF COURSE.
00:04:17.96\00:04:20.33
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
00:04:20.33\00:04:21.90
TELL US ABOUT MINISTRY IN
BULGARIA, AND YOUR TERRITORY
00:04:21.90\00:04:28.60
BULGARIA, MACEDONIA AND TURKEY.
00:04:28.60\00:04:29.86
TELL US ABOUT MINISTRY THERE.
00:04:29.86\00:04:36.90
THERE ARE MANY MUSLIMS IN OUR
COUNTRIES AND IN THE BALKANS.
00:04:36.90\00:04:40.80
THEY ARE THERE BECAUSE OF THE
HISTORY, THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE AND
00:04:40.80\00:04:48.66
EVERYTHING THAT
HAPPENED THERE IN THE PAST.
00:04:48.66\00:04:53.23
IN BULGARIA THE WHOLE EAST AND
SOUTHEAST PART OF THE COUNTRY IS
00:04:53.23\00:04:59.26
POPULATED WITH TURKS WHO HAVE
BULGARIAN CITIZENSHIP, BUT THEY
CONSIDER THEMSELVES AS
00:05:01.53\00:05:07.60
TURKS.
00:05:09.73\00:05:10.73
THIS IS THE SAME IN MACEDONIA.
00:05:10.73\00:05:12.26
THERE ARE A LOT
OF MUSLIMS THERE.
00:05:12.26\00:05:14.56
IN BULGARIA WE HAVE AN OFFICIAL
PRESENCE OF THE ADVENTIST
00:05:14.56\00:05:20.63
CHURCH. WE HAVE A
UNION THERE AND EVERYTHING.
00:05:25.76\00:05:28.76
WE HAVE MORE THAN
100 CHURCHES IN BULGARIA.
00:05:28.76\00:05:31.73
REALLY.
00:05:31.73\00:05:32.73
YES.
00:05:32.73\00:05:33.73
WONDERFUL.
00:05:33.73\00:05:35.16
BUT IN TURKEY OUR MINISTRY
APPARENTLY HAS NOT BEEN SO
SUCCESSFUL DURING THE
00:05:35.16\00:05:42.23
YEARS.
00:05:42.23\00:05:43.66
WE HAD TWO GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS A FEW YEARS AGO, BUT
AFTER THE EXPERIENCE
00:05:43.66\00:05:49.30
WE HAD WITH THEM, WHAT HAPPENED
WITH THEM WE REALIZED THAT WE
00:05:55.83\00:06:00.70
SHOULD SEND VERY WELL
TRAINED PEOPLE TO THE FIELD.
00:06:00.70\00:06:04.86
THEY MUST BE TRAINED BEFORE
THEY WILL BE SENT TO THE FIELD.
00:06:04.86\00:06:09.10
MAY I INTERRUPT YOU
JUST A LITTLE BIT WITH THAT.
00:06:09.10\00:06:11.30
JUST SO WE GET THE STORY FOR OUR
VIEWERS, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING
00:06:11.30\00:06:13.50
THEN WHILE GOSPEL OUTREACH HAS
MADE WORKERS AVAILABLE FOR THAT
PART OF THE COUNTRY THEY
00:06:13.50\00:06:19.56
WERE MEETING GREAT RESISTANCE
AND HAVING DIFFICULTY, AND IT
00:06:29.06\00:06:33.66
WAS DANGEROUS
FOR THEM TO BE THERE.
00:06:33.66\00:06:34.66
YES.
00:06:34.66\00:06:35.66
THEY WERE LOCALS.
00:06:35.66\00:06:36.93
IT WAS NOT REALLY DANGEROUS FOR
THEM TO BE THERE BECAUSE THEY
00:06:36.93\00:06:38.66
ARE WHERE THEY ARE.
00:06:38.66\00:06:39.53
BUT THEY WERE NOT
READY TO START TO WORK.
00:06:39.53\00:06:41.66
THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO START,
HOW TO REACH PEOPLE AND WHAT TO
00:06:41.66\00:06:47.70
DO WHEN THEY WENT TO THE
VILLAGES AND AMONG OTHER PEOPLE.
00:06:51.23\00:06:54.66
IN BULGARIA WE
FACED THE SAME PROBLEM.
00:06:54.66\00:07:00.80
BECAUSE IN THE TURKISH AREAS AND
WORKING WITH THE MUSLIMS, YOU
00:07:11.46\00:07:17.06
MUST BE VERY WISE AND
VERY PREPARED TO GO THERE.
00:07:17.06\00:07:21.86
TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE PEOPLE OPEN
THEIR HEARTS AND TO ACCEPT YOU.
00:07:21.86\00:07:26.80
ESPECIALLY IN BULGARIA, TURKISH
PEOPLE LIVE IN VERY CLOSED
00:07:26.80\00:07:33.10
COMMUNITIES. IF YOU GO IN
THEIR VILLAGE, THEY WILL KNOW
00:07:33.10\00:07:39.40
IMMEDIATELY THAT
A STRANGER IS THERE.
00:07:39.40\00:07:41.46
IT IS NOT EASY TO WIN THEIR
TRUST AND TO MAKE THEM ACCEPT
00:07:44.20\00:07:51.06
YOU, BECAUSE YOU'RE AN OUTSIDER
AND YOU'RE NOT AWARE OF THEIR
00:07:51.06\00:07:56.90
CULTURE. WHAT I HEAR YOU SAYING
RUMI IS WE NEED TO KNOW HOW TO
00:07:56.90\00:08:03.00
CONNECT WITH THESE PEOPLE AT
THEIR PLACE, AT THEIR LEVEL WITH
THEIR CONCEPT OF LIFE AND THEIR
00:08:07.53\00:08:13.56
RELATIONSHIPS.
00:08:16.76\00:08:18.06
YOU REMIND ME OF A STATEMENT
THAT IS SO FAMILIAR TO PROBABLY
00:08:18.06\00:08:24.70
A LOT OF OUR VIEWERS.
00:08:24.70\00:08:26.13
CHRIST'S METHOD ALONE IS THE ONE
THAT REALLY WORKS IN
REPRESENTING HIM AND
00:08:26.13\00:08:32.40
HIS KINGDOM AND THAT IS GOING
AMONG THE PEOPLE AS A PERSON WHO
00:08:32.40\00:08:40.40
DESIRES THEIR
GOOD, MAKING FRIENDSHIPS.
00:08:40.40\00:08:42.80
THAT'S WHY WE REALIZE IT IS
NOT THE RIGHT WAY TO GO THERE,
00:08:42.80\00:08:48.83
PREACHING AND TELL THEM ABOUT
OUR DOCTRINES AND JUST TO TELL
THEM STORIES OR STUFF LIKE
00:08:50.76\00:08:56.83
THAT, WHAT WE USUALLY DO IN
CHRISTIAN COUNTRIES AND IN
CHRISTIAN TOWNS IN OUR
00:09:00.66\00:09:07.36
COUNTRY.
00:09:07.36\00:09:08.76
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS WHEN
THEIRS IS A CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY,
00:09:08.76\00:09:14.63
AN ADVENTIST CHURCH PRESENCE
PERHAPS, THAT WE HAVE THE COMMON
GROUND OF THE BIBLE AND
00:09:14.63\00:09:21.50
THE BIBLE RECORD, THE BIBLE
TEACHING, THE BIBLE DOCTRINE SO
00:09:21.50\00:09:26.66
WE CAN CONNECT WITH
PEOPLE ON OUR COMMON LEVEL.
00:09:26.66\00:09:29.20
OVER THERE WE HAVE TO CONNECT ON
THE COMMON LEVEL OF THE PEOPLE.
00:09:29.20\00:09:33.43
HOW DO YOU GET TO DO THAT?
00:09:33.43\00:09:38.03
WE HAVE TWO GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS WHO WORK WITH TURKISH
00:09:38.03\00:09:43.00
PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTRY.
00:09:43.00\00:09:44.46
ONE IS ON THE NORTH SIDE, ONONHE
NORTH PART OF THE COUNTRY AND
00:09:44.46\00:09:50.66
THE OTHER ONE IS IN THE LAST
TOWN IN BULGARIA BEFORE THE
BORDER WITH TURKEY.
00:09:50.66\00:09:56.73
THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE FRIENDS.
00:10:00.10\00:10:03.00
THIS IS THE ONLY
THING THEY ARE DOING NOW.
00:10:03.00\00:10:06.73
WHAT IS THEIR NATIONALITY?
00:10:06.73\00:10:08.63
THEY ARE BULGARIANS.
00:10:08.63\00:10:09.66
THEY'RE BULGARIANS.
00:10:09.66\00:10:11.03
THEY ARE BULGARIANS, BUT AFTER
WE TALKED FOR A VERY LONG TIME
00:10:11.03\00:10:14.80
WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE
BULGARIAN UNION, HE TOLD US
PRACTICALLY WE DON'T HAVE
00:10:14.80\00:10:21.70
TURKISH SPEAKING PEOPLE WHO WE
CAN SEND DEEP IN THIS REGION TO
00:10:21.70\00:10:27.90
WORK WITH TURKISH PEOPLE
IN OUR COUNTRY ESPECIALLY.
00:10:27.90\00:10:31.26
THAT'S WHY AFTER MANY HOURS OF
DISCUSSION WE REALIZED THAT WE
00:10:31.26\00:10:38.33
NEED MUSLIM TRAINING CENTERS TO
PREPARE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ALREADY
00:10:38.33\00:10:44.36
HAVE DECIDED TO FOLLOW GOD TO BE
TRAINED, NOT FOR THREE AND A
HALF YEARS AS JESUS DID WITH
00:10:47.86\00:10:53.93
HIS DISCIPLES, BUT
MAYBE SHORT-TERM TRAINING.
00:10:56.26\00:11:00.63
AND MAYBE AFTER A PERIOD OF
TIME THEY CAN GO BACK THERE AND
00:11:00.63\00:11:08.43
CONTINUE THEIR TRAINING AFTER
THEY HAVE SOME EXPERIENCE IN THE
00:11:08.43\00:11:13.33
FIELD. TELL ME A LITTLE MORE
SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THIS TRAINING
00:11:13.33\00:11:19.70
EXPERIENCE. YOU CALLED
IT A MUSLIM TRAINING CENTER.
00:11:19.70\00:11:24.23
THESE ARE CHRISTIANS WHO ARE
THERE TO REPRESENT JESUS, BUT
00:11:24.23\00:11:30.30
THEY NEED TO HAVE
A MUSLIM TRAINING.
00:11:32.86\00:11:34.53
WHO GIVES THEM THAT?
00:11:34.53\00:11:37.16
HOW DO THEY GET THAT?
00:11:37.16\00:11:40.23
FOR NOW WE REALIZE THAT OUR
PASTOR WHO I TOLD YOU LAST TIME
00:11:40.23\00:11:47.90
WAS BORN IN BULGARIA
BUT IS BULGARIAN TURK.
00:11:47.90\00:11:51.13
HE HAS BEEN WORKING
IN TURKEY ABOUT 17 YEARS.
00:11:51.13\00:11:54.23
THEY CONVERTED THEMSELVES, HE
AND HIS WIFE ABOUT 32 YEARS AGO.
00:11:54.23\00:12:01.53
REALLY.
00:12:01.53\00:12:02.53
IT WAS A DIFFICULT
TIME FOR BOTH OF THEM.
00:12:02.53\00:12:06.93
WERE THEY ALREADY MARRIED
WHEN THEY WERE INTRODUCED TO THE
00:12:06.93\00:12:11.00
GOSPEL? NO, THEY WEREN'T.
00:12:11.00\00:12:13.76
THEIR HISTORY IS VERY
INTERESTING BECAUSE IN COMMUNIST
00:12:13.76\00:12:18.36
TIME IN MY COUNTRY AN ADVENTIST
PASTOR AND HIS FAMILY HAD BEEN
00:12:18.36\00:12:23.46
SENT TO THEIR VILLAGE.
00:12:23.46\00:12:25.53
AFTER THEY LIVED THERE TOGETHER
WITH THEM ABOUT MAYBE, I DON'T
00:12:26.90\00:12:32.40
KNOW HOW MANY YEARS, BUT WHEN HE
WAS LEAVING WITH HIS FAMILY THE
00:12:32.40\00:12:38.56
WHOLE VILLAGE WAS CRYING
TELLING THEM "YOU ARE MUSLIM.
00:12:38.56\00:12:41.40
YOU ARE BETTER
MUSLIM THAN WE ARE."
00:12:44.76\00:12:48.40
BECAUSE OF HIS EXAMPLE AND
EXPERIENCE, TODAY'S PASTOR WHO
IS WORKING IN TURKEY
00:12:48.40\00:12:54.46
HAD, IN HIS CHILDHOOD AND YOUTH
YEARS, DECIDED TO FOLLOW JESUS.
00:12:57.46\00:13:05.30
HE FOUND HIM SEVERAL
YEARS LATER IN SOFIA.
00:13:05.30\00:13:11.36
HE TOOK CLASSES ABOUT BIBLE
STUDY AND EVERYTHING AND HE HAS
00:13:14.26\00:13:20.30
BEEN BAPTIZED. HE
STRUGGLED A LOT WITH HIS FAMILY.
00:13:23.13\00:13:25.66
HE TOLD US "MY UNCLE WAS
LOOKING FOR ME TO KILL ME."
00:13:25.66\00:13:33.53
AFTER THAT HIS WIFE
ALSO DECIDED TO FOLLOW JESUS.
00:13:33.53\00:13:40.73
INTERESTING.
00:13:40.73\00:13:42.16
THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING IN
BULGARIA FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.
00:13:42.16\00:13:45.60
THEY WERE SENT TO BOGENHOFEN ONE
OF OUR COLLEGES IN EUROPE, IN
00:13:45.60\00:13:47.83
GERMANY.
00:13:47.83\00:13:48.93
AFTER HE GRADUATED THERE
THEY HAVE BEEN SENT TO TURKEY.
00:13:48.93\00:13:51.00
APPARENTLY THEY HAD A
PRETTY HARD TIME BEING THERE IN
00:13:51.00\00:13:57.03
ANTALYA, IZMIR AND ISTANBUL.
00:14:11.73\00:14:14.36
THEY CHANGED SEVERAL PLACES.
00:14:14.36\00:14:16.43
THEY KNOW PRETTY WELL HOW
TO WORK WITH THEIR PEOPLE.
00:14:18.63\00:14:24.16
HOW TO WORK WITH MUSLIMS.
00:14:24.16\00:14:27.86
ESPECIALLY HE IS AN AMAZING
WORKER TO WORK WITH PEOPLE ON
00:14:27.86\00:14:34.73
THE STREET. REALLY.
00:14:34.73\00:14:35.73
YES.
00:14:35.73\00:14:37.16
WE REALIZE THAT THERE ARE PLACES
OUT THERE ON THE STREET WHERE
00:14:37.16\00:14:43.00
PEOPLE ARE. IN OTHER WORDS WHAT
YOU'RE SAYING RUMI IS IN THE
WEST WE PUT UP A SIGN AND SAY
00:14:43.00\00:14:49.03
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A MEETING.
00:14:51.73\00:14:53.46
PLEASE COME WHERE WE ARE SO WE
CAN TELL YOU HOW MUCH MORE RIGHT
00:14:53.46\00:14:58.93
WE ARE THAN YOU ARE.
00:14:58.93\00:15:00.53
AND YOU'RE SAYING THAT
WOULDN'T WORK AT ALL THERE.
00:15:00.53\00:15:07.46
THIS PASTOR,R,IS WIFE, HIS
MINISTRY, 17 YEARS OF IT NOW,
HAS DISCOVERED HE HAS
00:15:07.46\00:15:13.50
TO GO ON THE STREET
WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE.
00:15:13.50\00:15:17.06
DODOOU KNOW WHAT
HE DOES ON THE STREET?
00:15:17.06\00:15:20.36
HE JUST TALKS WITH THE PEOPLE.
00:15:20.36\00:15:22.43
HE HELPS THEM, HE GREETS THEM.
00:15:22.43\00:15:25.16
HE TAKES CARE OF
THEM IF THEY ARE HUNGRY.
00:15:25.16\00:15:29.50
HE IS ABLE TO TAKE OFF HIS SHIRT
AND GIVE IT TO SOMEBODY ON THE
00:15:29.50\00:15:34.30
STREET. THEY DECIDE TO FIND HIM
AGAIN AND THEY'RE ASKING HIM
WHAT IS DIFFERENT WITH
00:15:34.30\00:15:40.36
YOU, WHY ARE YOU
DOING THIS WITH US?
00:15:45.73\00:15:47.86
DO THEY BELIEVE HE IS A MUSLIM?
00:15:47.86\00:15:49.26
YES.
00:15:49.26\00:15:50.26
SO HE ISN'T A THREAT TO THEM.
00:15:50.26\00:15:52.33
HE IS NOT GOING TO
CHANGE THEM THEOLOGICALLY OR
00:15:52.33\00:15:58.40
PHILOSOPHICALLY. YOU MAKE SUCH
AN ELOQUENT POINT RUMI BY
REPORTING THAT HE GIVES A SHIRT
00:16:07.96\00:16:14.03
OR HE WILL GIVE FOOD
OR HE WILL HELP, WHATEVER.
00:16:17.23\00:16:21.73
NOBODY CAN ARGUE WITH THAT.
00:16:21.73\00:16:24.63
THERE'S NO CONTEST.
00:16:24.63\00:16:26.13
WE DON'T HAVE TO PROVE ANYTHING.
00:16:26.13\00:16:28.73
ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS CONNECT
WITH PEOPLE AGAIN AS JESUS DID.
00:16:28.73\00:16:34.56
YES.
00:16:34.56\00:16:35.56
THAT'S A WONDERFUL ILLUSTRATION.
00:16:35.56\00:16:37.56
I WANT TO HEAR LOTS MORE OF
THIS, BUT I'M GOIOI TO TAKE A
00:16:37.56\00:16:40.06
LITTLE BREAK RIGHT NOW
AND TALK TO OUR VIEWERS.
00:16:40.06\00:16:43.20
ALREADY YOU'RE CAPTURED BY THE
STORY THAT RUMI IS SHARING WITH
00:16:43.20\00:16:49.56
US ABOUT THE GOSPEL OUTREACH
MINISTRY IN MACEDONIA, TURKEY
AND MAINLY BULGARIA.
00:16:49.56\00:16:56.83
WE'LL HEAR A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT MACEDONIA PERHAPS AS WELL.
00:16:56.83\00:17:03.66
I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO
PRAY FOR RUMI, FOR HER WORK, HER
00:17:03.66\00:17:11.53
GOSPEL OUTREACH TEAM
IN THAT PART OF THE WORLD.
00:17:11.53\00:17:15.03
ALSO, I WANT YOU TO REQUEST THE
GOSPEL OUTREACH ADVENTURES IN
00:17:15.03\00:17:19.26
MISSIONS NEWSLETTER.
00:17:19.26\00:17:21.43
RIGHT ON YOUR SCREEN THERE IS
THE ADDRESS, AND THE TELEPHONE
00:17:21.43\00:17:26.20
NUMBER, ALL THE
INFORMATION YOU NEED.
00:17:26.20\00:17:27.76
JOT IT DOWN IF YOU HAVEN'T
ALREADY AND BE IN TOUCH WITH
00:17:27.76\00:17:32.13
GOSPEL OUTREACH. A WONDERFUL
DEDICATED VOLUNTEER AT GOSPEL
OUTREACH WILL RESPOND TO
00:17:32.13\00:17:38.30
YOUR REQUEST.
00:17:38.30\00:17:39.43
THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART
OF THE GOSPEL OUTREACH FAMILY.
00:17:39.43\00:17:42.93
I REALLY DON'T HAVE WORDS RUMI
TO TELL YOU HOW YOU SPEAK TO MY
00:17:42.93\00:17:49.00
HEART WITH THIS
STORY OF THE WAY TO WORK.
00:17:54.13\00:17:58.36
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE WAY TO
WORK IN THE MUSLIM WORLD, BUT I
00:18:00.73\00:18:05.20
HAVE A CONVICTION THAT THIS IS
THE WAY WE OUGHT TO WORK IN ALL
00:18:05.20\00:18:11.56
THE WORLD. FIRST MAKE FRIENDS
FOR JESUS AND FOR THE KINGDOM
AND THEN, WHERE YOU HAD
00:18:11.56\00:18:18.10
COME TO AS I WENT TO A BREAK
HERE, THE PEOPLE SAID " "AT
00:18:18.10\00:18:24.86
MAKES YOU SO DIFFERENT"
AND HE GETS TO TALK TO THEM.
00:18:24.86\00:18:29.50
YES.
00:18:29.50\00:18:31.00
BEFORE I WENT TO TURKEY I MADE
SOME RESEARCH ON WHAT IS ALLOWED
00:18:31.00\00:18:34.70
THERE AND WHAT IS FORBIDDEN.
00:18:34.70\00:18:36.80
I READ THAT ESPECIALLY THE
TURKISH CONSTITUTION GIVES RIGHT
00:18:36.80\00:18:43.60
TO ALL RELIGIONS. BUT IT IS
FORBIDDEN BY THEIR LAW AND
CONSTITUTION FOR YOU TO TRY TO
00:18:43.60\00:18:50.06
CONVERT PEOPLE THERE.
00:18:50.06\00:18:51.43
BUT IF THEY ASK YOU WHAT IS
DIFFERENT WITH YOU, WHAT IS YOUR
00:18:51.43\00:18:58.50
FAITH, WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE,
YOU CAN SHARE AND IT IS NOT
00:18:58.50\00:19:04.80
FORBIDDEN. SO WE WERE THINKING
WHY DON'T WE ASK THE LORD TO
GIVE US WISDOM HOW TO MAKE
00:19:04.80\00:19:10.33
PEOPLE THERE ASK THE QUESTIONS.
00:19:10.33\00:19:18.13
WHAT IS DIFFERENT WITH YOU?
00:19:18.13\00:19:20.10
WHO ARE YOU?
00:19:20.10\00:19:21.30
WHY ARE YOU DOING ALL OF THIS?
00:19:21.30\00:19:22.93
WE REALIZED THAT FIRST WE
NEED TO SHOW THEM GOD'S LOVE.
00:19:22.93\00:19:30.83
BECAUSE IN ISLAM THEY BELIEVE
THAT THERE IS JUST ONE LORD.
00:19:30.83\00:19:36.06
BUT THEY DON'T
DARE TO CALL HIM FATHER.
00:19:36.06\00:19:41.00
BECAUSE?
00:19:41.00\00:19:42.33
THEY DON'T DARE TO CALL HIM
FATHER BECAUSE IN ISLAM GOD IS
00:19:42.33\00:19:48.10
SOMETHING THAT WILL PUNISH THEM
IF THEY DON'T OBEY THE KORAN.
00:19:50.40\00:19:56.40
THEY ACCEPT THE KORAN AS A
BOOK GIVEN BY GOD AND THEY MUST
00:19:56.40\00:20:02.43
FOLLOW THE KORAN LITERALLY.
00:20:09.70\00:20:11.76
IF THEY DON'T DO
THAT, GOD WILL PUNISH THEM.
00:20:12.66\00:20:15.56
IN ISLAM GOD IS NOT A
LOVING FATHER AND CREATOR.
00:20:15.56\00:20:22.50
HE IS AN EXACTING JUDGE WHO
IS LOOKING AT HOW THEY LIVE AND
00:20:22.50\00:20:28.96
WHAT THEY DO EVERYWHERE.
00:20:28.96\00:20:30.16
NOT ALL PEOPLE, IN
TURKEY ESPECIALLY, ARE REALLY
00:20:30.16\00:20:31.96
BELIEVERS. THEY ARE MUSLIMS BUT
IT IS NOT BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE
IN ISLAM AND THEY FOLLOW
00:20:31.96\00:20:36.53
EVERYTHING THAT ISLAM IS.
00:20:36.53\00:20:42.56
THEY OBEY THE KORANIC DEMANDS
LITERALLY BECAUSE THEY'RE AFRAID
00:20:50.76\00:20:56.83
OF GOD, AND THAT'S THE CONTRAST
THAT THEY OBSERVE IN THE WAY THE
00:21:13.76\00:21:21.00
PASTOR DEALS WITH THEM.
00:21:21.00\00:21:22.20
YES.
00:21:22.20\00:21:23.63
HE IS TEACHING THEM THE BIBLE,
BUT THE KORAN IS NEXT TO THE
00:21:23.63\00:21:28.33
BIBLE ALL THE TIME.
00:21:28.33\00:21:30.06
HE IS CONNECTING THE TWO BOOKS.
00:21:30.06\00:21:32.33
AT THE SAME TIME THE KORAN IS
TEACHING PEACE AND LOVE BETWEEN
00:21:32.33\00:21:38.36
PEOPLE. HE IS TEACHING THEM
THAT THEY MUST HELP EACH OTHER.
00:21:42.06\00:21:49.50
BUT THEIR CONCEPT ABOUT
GOD'S LOVE IS DIFFERENT.
00:21:49.50\00:21:56.06
THAT'S WHY WE GO THERE AND SHOW
THEM GOD'S LOVE AS WE KNOW IT,
00:21:56.06\00:22:02.16
AS WE THINK ABOUT HOW THE LORD
LOVES US AND JESUS DIED ON THE
CROSS BECAUSE HE LOVES US SO
00:22:04.20\00:22:11.33
MUCH.
00:22:11.33\00:22:12.26
EARLIER YOU MENTIONED
ABOUT THE MUSLIM CENTER.
00:22:12.26\00:22:14.33
DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING
LIKE THAT ESTABLISHED ALREADY?
00:22:14.33\00:22:20.40
NOT ALREADY.
00:22:22.60\00:22:23.73
WE ARE WORKING AND MAYBE IT
WILL BE TWO SEPARATE PROJECTS.
00:22:23.73\00:22:29.40
WE WERE THINKING ABOUT
ESTABLISHING ONE MUSLIM TRAINING
00:22:29.40\00:22:34.93
CENTER IN TURKEY
AND ONE IN BULGARIA.
00:22:34.93\00:22:37.26
THE SITUATION RIGHT NOW IN
EUROPE IS BULGARIA IS IN THE
00:22:37.26\00:22:44.96
EUROPEAN UNION. TURKEY IS VERY
CLOSE AND AS I MENTIONED ALREADY
A KIND OF OPEN DOOR TO THE
00:22:44.96\00:22:50.73
MIDDLE EAST COUNTRIES.
00:22:50.73\00:22:52.13
TURKS CAN COME TO BULGARIA
FREELY EVEN WITH A VISA, BUT
00:22:52.13\00:22:58.16
PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES,
IRAN, IRAQ, SYRIA, IT IS ALMOST
NOT POSSIBLE FOR THEM TO GET A
00:23:02.10\00:23:08.03
VISA TO COME TO BULGARIA.
00:23:08.03\00:23:09.86
RUMI, WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM
OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH FAMILY TO BE
00:23:09.86\00:23:15.90
ABLE TO
ESTABLISH A MUSLIM CENTER?
00:23:19.23\00:23:21.76
YOU KNOW, MOSTLY THIS IS
FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO RENT A
PLACE OR BUY A PLACE.
00:23:21.76\00:23:27.80
IN MY COUNTRY OF BULGARIA,
THE PRICES ARE VERY LOW.
00:23:34.03\00:23:38.23
THE STATES ARE VERY CHEAP.
00:23:38.23\00:23:41.76
WE HAVE THE FULL SUPPORT FROM
THE PRESIDENT OF THE BULGARIA
00:23:41.76\00:23:47.83
UNION. PLACE WHERE WE CAN
INVITER PEOPLE AND WHERE WEKERS
CAN TRAIN PEOPLE BEFORE
00:23:58.40\00:24:04.03
SENDING THEM INTO ALL
THESE MUSLIM VILLAGES.
00:24:04.03\00:24:09.96
THEY REALIZED THAT THE FIRST
TIME WHEN THEY ARRIVED IN A
00:24:09.96\00:24:13.93
VILLAGE PEOPLE HAD BEEN LOOKING
AT THEM VERY SUSPICIOUSLY.
00:24:13.93\00:24:18.30
THEY HAD BEEN
AFRAID WHO THEY WERE.
00:24:18.30\00:24:23.46
MANY OF THEM ARE NOT
ABLE TO READ OR WRITE.
00:24:23.46\00:24:31.03
I DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME LEFT IN
THIS PROGRAM AGAIN, IT GOES TOO
00:24:31.03\00:24:35.43
FAST, BUT YOU WERE
THERE THE SUMMER OF 2013.
00:24:35.43\00:24:39.46
DID YOU MEET YOURSELF
QUITE A FEW MUSLIM PEOPLE?
00:24:39.46\00:24:44.40
YES, MANY OF THEM.
00:24:44.40\00:24:47.53
THERE IS THE ISSUE I'M SOMEWHAT
AWARE OF, OF MEN WHO DO NOT HAVE
00:24:47.53\00:24:53.60
CONTACT WITH OTHER FEMALES,
OTHER THAN THEIR WIVES OR THEIR
00:24:55.80\00:24:58.66
IMMEDIATE FAMILY. WERE YOU ONLY
WORKING WITH WOMEN OR DID YOU
ALSO WORK WITH SOME MEN?
00:24:58.66\00:25:04.80
WE WORKED WITH MEN AND WOMEN,
BUT WE NEEDED TO KNOW THEIR
00:25:06.83\00:25:10.83
RULES. THAT'S A PART OF THE
EDUCATION THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.
00:25:10.83\00:25:18.60
PEOPLE WHO GO TO WORK IN THESE
MUSLIM AREAS MUST KNOW SOME
00:25:18.60\00:25:24.66
SIGNS AND SOME ACTIONS THAT
WOULD BE A SIGN OF DISRESPECT
FOR THEM AND JUST TO KNOW HOW
00:25:27.53\00:25:33.60
TO GREET THEM, HOW TO ACT IF
THEY GO INTO THE HOUSE OF A
FAMILY, HOW THEY WILL
00:25:36.30\00:25:40.63
ACT WITH THE LADY IN THE HOUSE.
00:25:40.63\00:25:42.86
IF THE WORKER IS A LADY HOW
SHE MUST ACT AND WHAT KIND OF
00:25:42.86\00:25:48.93
BEHAVIOR SHE MUST
HAVE WHEN SHE MEETS A MAN.
00:25:51.13\00:25:57.93
YOU KNOW, IT SEEMS TO ME RUMI
THAT WHAT YOU ARE PROPOSING AND
00:25:57.93\00:26:03.56
WHAT YOU ARE LEADING IN YOUR
REGION FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH IS SO
BASIC TO JUST WITNESS FOR
00:26:03.56\00:26:10.70
JESUS.
00:26:10.70\00:26:12.16
YOU'RE NOT ONLY APPEALING TOTOS
TO BE UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORK
00:26:12.16\00:26:18.60
IN BULGARIA, MACEDONIA AND
TURKEY, BUT I THINK YOU ARE
UNDERSCORING WHAT WE NEED
00:26:18.60\00:26:23.46
TO KNOW ABOUT WORKING AMONG ALL
PEOPLE WHATEVER THE TERRITORY
00:26:23.46\00:26:28.46
IS. YES BECAUSE TIME IS GOING
PRETTY FAST, AND WE ARE NOT
GOING TO BE ABLE TO
00:26:28.46\00:26:34.53
CATCH IT.
00:26:34.53\00:26:35.83
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH
US HERE AGAIN AT AN "ADVENTURES
00:26:35.83\00:26:40.43
IN MISSIONS" PROGRAM.
00:26:40.43\00:26:42.10
THANK YOU FOLKS S R
BEING WITH US AS WELL.
00:26:42.10\00:26:45.70
PLEASE PRAY FOR RUMI AND THE
REGION THAT SHE REPRESENTS IN A
00:26:45.70\00:26:52.43
VERY IMPORTANT PART OF TODADAS
WORLD AND OUR LORD'S HARVEST
00:26:52.43\00:26:58.20
COUNTRY. GOD BLESS
YOU UNTIL NEXT TIME.
00:26:58.20\00:27:04.33
[CLOSING MUSIC] I NEED TO
SPREAD THE GOSPEL HERE AT HOME.
00:27:14.43\00:27:18.43
WHERE IS THE
10/40 WINDOW ANYWAY?
00:27:18.43\00:27:22.13
THOSE PEOPLE LIVE TOO FAR AWAY.
00:27:22.13\00:27:24.76
SOMEONE ELSE CAN
TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS.
00:27:24.76\00:27:27.20
MAYBE THEY COULD JUST WATCH TV.
00:27:27.20\00:27:30.90
NEARLY THREE
BILLION PEOPLE TO REACH.
00:27:30.90\00:27:34.56
MY HEAD HURTS.
00:27:34.56\00:27:36.50
THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO.
00:27:36.50\00:27:38.56
I GIVE UP.
00:27:38.56\00:27:39.56
WHAT'S THE POINT OF TRYING?
00:27:39.56\00:27:41.60
I CAN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:27:41.60\00:27:43.23
ACTUALLY YOU CAN
MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:27:43.23\00:27:45.70
AND JESUS ASKED YOU
TO GO TO ALL THE WORLD.
00:27:45.70\00:27:50.90
WHERE?
00:27:50.90\00:27:51.90
ALL THE WORLD.
00:27:51.90\00:27:53.06
HOW CAN I GO?
00:27:53.06\00:27:54.06
I HAVE COMMITMENTS.
00:27:54.06\00:27:55.26
YOU CAN PRAY.
00:27:55.26\00:27:57.40
YOU CAN VOLUNTEER YOUR TALENTS.
00:27:57.40\00:28:02.33
YOU CAN TELL OTHERS.
00:28:02.33\00:28:06.36
YOU CAN GIVE MONEY TO
SPONSOR BIBLE WORKERS.
00:28:06.36\00:28:09.20
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE
SEARCHING FOR HOPE AND MEANING.
00:28:09.20\00:28:12.13
BUT THEY WON'T
FIND IT WITHOUT YOU.
00:28:12.13\00:28:14.30
BE THE SPARK.
00:28:14.30\00:28:15.80
LIGHT THE FIRE.
00:28:15.80\00:28:20.86
FINISH THE WORK.
00:28:20.86\00:28:26.93
