HELLO GOOD FRIENDS.
00:00:16.36\00:00:17.76
I'M DELIGHTED TO BE WITH
YOU AGAIN FOR ANOTHER PROGRAM OF
00:00:17.76\00:00:24.30
GOSPEL OUTREACH WHERE WE
REALLY DO MISSION ADVENTURES.
00:00:24.30\00:00:28.40
EACH TIME I GET TO BE WITH YOU
I BRING ALONG A PERSON WHO IS
00:00:28.40\00:00:36.03
REPRESENTATIVE OF THE
FRONT LINES OF GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:00:36.03\00:00:40.43
MINISTRY. AND FRANKLY, SOME OF
YOU WILL RELATE WHEN I SAY THIS,
00:00:40.43\00:00:46.63
WHEN I WAS A BOY YOUNGER
AND WE HAD MISSION STORIES.
00:00:46.63\00:00:49.36
IT MOVED US TO THE FRONT OF THE
SEAT AS WE HEARD THESE DRAMATIC
00:00:49.36\00:00:54.26
EXPERIENCES THAT
MISSIONARIES BROUGHT TO US.
00:00:54.26\00:00:56.40
HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH WE
HAVE MISSION STORIES, MISSION
00:00:56.40\00:01:00.43
STORIES, MISSION STORIES, AND I
GET TO BE KIND OF A ONE-PERSON
AUDIENCE PRESENTING TO YOU
00:01:00.43\00:01:06.76
UPDATED MISSION STORIES.
00:01:06.76\00:01:09.46
I HAVE ANOTHER
MISSIONARY HERE TODAY.
00:01:09.46\00:01:12.13
MY GOOD FRIEND WHOM I HAVEN'T
KNOWN THAT LONG, BUT IT DOESN'T
00:01:12.13\00:01:15.76
MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE WHEN
YOU'RE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:01:15.76\00:01:17.76
YOU GET TO BE
CLOSE FRIENDS QUICKLY.
00:01:17.76\00:01:19.76
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
00:01:19.76\00:01:20.76
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
00:01:20.76\00:01:21.76
DON HALENZ.
00:01:21.76\00:01:23.00
AND DON, YOU ARE ONE OF
THE NEWER REGIONAL DIRECTORS AT
00:01:23.00\00:01:28.70
GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:01:28.70\00:01:29.70
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:01:29.70\00:01:30.70
WHAT'S IT LIKE FOR YOU?
00:01:30.70\00:01:31.70
OH, IT'S WONDERFUL.
00:01:31.70\00:01:32.76
I TELL YOU I'M SO ENTHUSIASTIC
ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:01:32.76\00:01:35.13
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS ONE OF
THE BEST THINGS GOING IN THE
00:01:35.13\00:01:41.66
ADVENTIST CHURCH TODAY.
00:01:41.66\00:01:42.66
EVERYBODY IS A VOLUNTEER.
00:01:42.66\00:01:43.96
WHEN PEOPLE DONATE FUNDS THEY GO
RIGHT TO THE MISSION FIELD, BY
00:01:43.96\00:01:47.36
AND LARGE.
00:01:47.36\00:01:48.40
AND I CAN TELL YOU HE
DIDN'T GET PAID TO SAY THAT.
00:01:48.40\00:01:50.40
NO I DIDN'T GET PAID.
00:01:50.40\00:01:52.36
NOR DOES ANYONE ELSE
AROUND GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:01:52.36\00:01:55.56
WE'RE HERE BECAUSE OF THE CALL
OF GOD ON OUR LIVES, ON US AS
00:01:55.56\00:02:01.66
BELIEVERS, THAT THERE'S A WORLD
THAT NEEDS TO KNOW WHO HE IS AND
WHAT HE'S LIKE AND GOSPEL
00:02:05.23\00:02:10.06
OUTREACH IS A WAY
TO GIVE THAT STORY.
00:02:10.06\00:02:12.06
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:02:12.06\00:02:13.06
THAT'S THE BEST WAY TO DO IT.
00:02:13.06\00:02:14.06
NOW DON, YOU
AND I WERE TOGETHER.
00:02:14.06\00:02:16.06
BY THE WAY, WHAT'S THE NUMBER OF
YOUR REGION AT GOSPEL OUTREACH?
00:02:16.06\00:02:18.90
REGION 17.
00:02:18.90\00:02:20.06
YES REGION 17.
00:02:20.06\00:02:21.06
THAT INCLUDES SOUTH
INDIA AND SRI LANKA.
00:02:21.06\00:02:25.00
YOU REMINDED ME THAT THE LAST
TIME WE WERE TOGETHER WE TALKED
00:02:25.00\00:02:28.66
ABOUT SRI LANKA. THAT'S RIGHT.
00:02:28.66\00:02:30.00
I JUST OVERHEARD YOU SAYING THE
OTHER DAY THAT THERE'S A REAL
00:02:30.00\00:02:35.50
PRAYER REQUEST YOU
HAVE FOR SRI LANKA.
00:02:35.50\00:02:37.43
THERE IS.
00:02:37.43\00:02:38.43
TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT.
00:02:38.43\00:02:40.43
THERE IS, THERE IS
A REAL PRAYER REQUEST.
00:02:40.43\00:02:42.43
WHEN I WAS IN SRI LANKA LAST
TIME JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO THEY
00:02:42.43\00:02:45.56
TOOK ME TO VISIT ONE OF
THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS.
00:02:45.56\00:02:48.70
HE TOOK ME TO A CHURCH
WHICH THEY ARE STARTING.
00:02:48.70\00:02:52.50
RIGHT NOW THEY ARE MEETING ON
THE SIDE OF THIS HOUSE, BUT THEY
00:02:52.50\00:02:54.93
ARE STARTING TO
BUILD THEIR OWN CHURCH.
00:02:54.93\00:02:56.36
THEY HAVE THE LAND, THEY THOUGHT
THEY HAD ALL THE PERMITS,
00:02:56.36\00:03:00.13
EVERYTHING LINED UP TO GO, BUT
DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND
THEIR CONTROL SOMEONE WHO HAD
00:03:00.13\00:03:05.40
SOME AUTHORITY CAME
AND STOPPED THE WORK.
00:03:05.40\00:03:08.03
THE WEEDS ARE GROWING UP.
00:03:08.03\00:03:09.96
THE TREES ARE STARTING
TO GROW THERE IN THE FIELD.
00:03:09.96\00:03:13.93
THE FOUNDATIONS ARE ALL IN
FOR THE CHURCH, BUT THE WORK HAS
00:03:13.93\00:03:18.26
STOPPED. THAT'S A MATTER OF
PRAYER THAT WE NEED TO PRAY FOR.
00:03:18.26\00:03:20.50
SO FOLKS, I'M GOING TO BREAK
RIGHT HERE AND ASK YOU TO BE IN
00:03:20.50\00:03:27.53
PRAYER FOR THAT CONGREGATION.
00:03:27.53\00:03:28.86
ALL YOU NEED TO
REMEMBER IS SRI LANKA.
00:03:28.86\00:03:30.86
GOD KNOWS ALL ABOUT WHERE
IT IS AND WHAT'S GOING ON.
00:03:30.86\00:03:32.86
THERE IS A FAMILY OF BELIEVERS
THERE WHO HAVE DONE EVERYTHING
00:03:32.86\00:03:39.33
THEY CAN TO ADVANCE GOD'S CAUSE
TO ESTABLISH A PLACE WHERE
OTHERS CAN BE INVITED TO
00:03:39.33\00:03:44.86
WORSHIP, AND IT'S BEEN STOPPED.
00:03:44.86\00:03:47.33
YOU KNOW ABOUT
THE GREAT CONTROVERSY.
00:03:47.33\00:03:49.33
THEY ARE IN THE CROSS FIRE OF
THE GREAT CONTROVERSY RIGHT
THERE IN SRI LANKA.
00:03:49.33\00:03:53.96
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:03:53.96\00:03:55.30
SO WOULD YOU TODAY REMEMBER
TO PRAY FOR THE GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:03:55.30\00:04:01.76
MINISTRY, GOD'S WORK IN
SRI LANKA IN THAT PARTICULAR
00:04:01.76\00:04:05.66
COMMUNITY. THANK YOU.
00:04:05.66\00:04:06.66
THANK YOU
REMINDING US OF THAT DON.
00:04:06.66\00:04:08.66
THERE IS NEW LEADERSHIP IN
SRI LANKA, AND I THINK THEY ARE
00:04:08.66\00:04:12.40
GOING TO DO THE VERY BEST
THEY CAN TO MOVE THAT PROJECT
00:04:12.40\00:04:14.60
FORWARD. BUT IT'S GOING
TO TAKE EVERYONE'S PRAYERS.
00:04:14.60\00:04:17.00
WE CAN'T DO THIS BY OURSELVES.
00:04:17.00\00:04:18.63
AMEN.
00:04:18.63\00:04:19.60
ALRIGHT.
00:04:19.60\00:04:20.80
THE OTHER PART OF YOUR REGION
IS THE SMALLEST STATE IN INDIA.
00:04:20.80\00:04:25.40
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:04:25.40\00:04:26.40
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT GOA
A LITTLE BIT THIS MORNING.
00:04:26.40\00:04:29.63
GOA IS, I THINK, THE
NEWEST STATE IN INDIA.
00:04:29.63\00:04:32.83
IT'S THE SMALLEST STATE,
BUT IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT STATE.
00:04:32.83\00:04:36.43
THE GOSPEL WAS BROUGHT TO INDIA
FIRST OF ALL BY THE APOSTLE
00:04:36.43\00:04:41.06
THOMAS. HE WAS
KNOWN AS DOUBTING THOMAS.
00:04:41.06\00:04:43.20
YOU RECALL THE STORY?
00:04:43.20\00:04:44.63
YES.
00:04:44.63\00:04:45.96
THOMAS WENT TO INDIA, AND I
UNDERSTAND HE WORKED IN GOA FOR
00:04:45.96\00:04:49.63
AWHILE. HE ACTUALLY FINISHED HIS
MINISTRY IN THE CITY OF CHENNAI.
00:04:49.63\00:04:53.43
I'D LIKE TO SHOW THE FIRST
PICTURE OF THE CITY OF CHENNAI.
00:04:53.43\00:04:57.26
IT'S A LARGE CITY.
00:04:57.26\00:04:59.53
THIS IS WHERE THOMAS WORKED WHEN
HE WAS WORKING IN THE LAST PART
00:04:59.53\00:05:04.46
OF HIS LIFE HERE IN
THE CITY OF CHENNAI.
00:05:04.46\00:05:06.93
LOOKING OUT YOU SEE
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THERE.
00:05:06.93\00:05:09.73
WE HAVE QUITE A GOOD SIZED
WORK IN THE CITY OF CHENNAI.
00:05:09.73\00:05:12.50
THERE ARE THREE
TEAMS OF EIGHT WORKERS.
00:05:12.50\00:05:15.30
EACH TEAM IS
GOING AROUND EVERY DAY.
00:05:15.30\00:05:17.66
THEY MEET EVERY MORNING
FOR PRAYER THEN THEY GO OUT.
00:05:17.66\00:05:20.93
YOU HAVE 24 GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS THERE?
00:05:20.93\00:05:23.06
WE HAVE 24 WORKERS AND THREE
SUPERVISORS WITH A TOTAL OF 27.
00:05:23.06\00:05:25.60
THEY ARE CARRYING THE
WORK FORWARD, AND I'M JUST VERY
00:05:25.60\00:05:29.73
PLEASED. THE REPORT I GOT FOR
THE THIRD QUARTER FROM THE CITY
OF CHENNAI WAS THAT
00:05:29.73\00:05:34.46
THEY HAD 400
BAPTISMS IN THAT CITY.
00:05:34.46\00:05:37.13
PRAISE THE LORD.
00:05:37.13\00:05:38.13
IT'S WONDERFUL.
00:05:38.13\00:05:39.13
IT'S WONDERFUL.
00:05:39.13\00:05:40.53
JUST A LITTLE NOTE OF HISTORY
AND MAYBE YOU'RE GOING TO COME
00:05:40.53\00:05:42.13
TO THAT, BUT ISN'T
THOMAS BURIED SOMEPLACE IN GOA?
00:05:42.13\00:05:48.20
YES HE IS BURIED RIGHT HERE.
00:05:52.26\00:05:54.70
THE NEXT PICTURE SHOWS IT.
00:05:54.70\00:05:56.36
THIS IS A SHOT OF THE FIELD
RIGHT NEAR WHERE HE IS BURIED.
00:05:56.36\00:06:00.70
HE WAS KILLED APPARENTLY
RIGHT ABOUT WHERE THIS IS.
00:06:00.70\00:06:03.06
THE PICTURE HAS SOME SHADOWS.
00:06:03.06\00:06:04.90
THOSE ARE COWS IN THE PICTURE.
00:06:04.90\00:06:06.86
BACK IN THE DISTANCE
THOSE ARE LARGE ROCK LETTERINGS.
00:06:06.86\00:06:10.33
REMEMBER IN THE BIBLICAL STORY
HE SAID "I WON'T BELIEVE IT IS
00:06:10.33\00:06:15.86
REALLY CHRIST UNLESS I TOUCH
HIS SIDE AND SEE HIS HANDS."
00:06:15.86\00:06:20.13
HE LOOKED AND SAID
"MY LORD AND MY GOD."
00:06:20.13\00:06:23.96
HE BELIEVED IT WAS HIS LORD.
00:06:23.96\00:06:26.50
THEY HAVE WRITTEN THAT IN STONE
IN THE FIELD WHERE THE COWS ARE.
00:06:26.50\00:06:32.03
THAT'S WHERE HE IS BURIED.
00:06:32.03\00:06:34.16
THAT'S AN INTERESTING
PLACE, AND IT'S VERY SYMBOLIC.
00:06:34.16\00:06:37.56
HERE'S ANOTHER VIEW OF THE CITY.
00:06:37.56\00:06:40.43
THE CHURCH HAS BUILT A CHURCH
THERE AND MY WIFE AND I ARE
00:06:40.43\00:06:43.46
STANDING IN
FRONT OF THIS CHURCH.
00:06:43.46\00:06:44.36
THIS WAS SYMBOLIZING
THOMAS' LIFE AND SO ON.
00:06:44.36\00:06:47.56
IT'S A MEMORIAL
THAT WAS BUILT THERE.
00:06:47.56\00:06:49.93
THAT IS ALL RELATED
TO THOMAS THE APOSTLE.
00:06:49.93\00:06:52.66
THE REST OF THE APOSTLES, I
UNDERSTAND, PRETTY MUCH STAYED
00:06:52.66\00:06:57.06
AROUND THE HOLY LAND, JERUSALEM,
ETC., BUT THOMAS WENT TO INDIA.
00:06:57.06\00:07:00.53
WHEN THOMAS RECEIVED THE
CONVICTION THAT INDEED JESUS WAS
00:07:00.53\00:07:08.20
LORD HE WASN'T GOING TO SIT ON
HIS PROVERBIAL LAURELS, HE WAS
OUT TO PROCLAIM MY LORD
00:07:08.20\00:07:12.90
AND MY GOD.
00:07:12.90\00:07:13.90
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:07:13.90\00:07:14.83
I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT
THAT ROCK STATEMENT THERE.
00:07:14.83\00:07:19.30
THAT'S PROFOUND.
00:07:19.30\00:07:20.73
IN FACT DON, I HAPPEN TO
HAVE A FRIEND WHO IS INDIAN.
00:07:20.73\00:07:27.23
WELL I WON'T GO INTO ALL THE
DETAILS OF THAT, BUT THE
CONNECTION HE AND I
00:07:27.23\00:07:33.30
HAVE MADE IS BECAUSE THOMAS WENT
TO INDIA AS A MISSIONARY, AND HE
00:07:35.33\00:07:43.20
EVEN THOUGH NOT DECLARING
CHRISTIANITY HAS GREAT RESPECT
00:07:43.20\00:07:49.26
FOR CHRISTIANITY BECAUSE
OF THE MINISTRY OF THOMAS.
00:07:51.33\00:07:53.96
I THINK IT'S VERY SIGNIFICANT
THAT IN THIS PROGRAM YOU'RE
00:07:53.96\00:07:58.56
FOCUSING ON GOA THE
STATE THAT HE PROBABLY WENT TO.
00:07:58.56\00:08:01.26
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:08:01.26\00:08:02.16
WE BELIEVE THAT HE
LANDED IN GOA EARLIER ON.
00:08:02.16\00:08:04.60
NOW GOA HAS AN
INTERESTING HISTORY.
00:08:04.60\00:08:06.70
IT'S THE
SMALLEST STATE IN INDIA.
00:08:06.70\00:08:08.90
IT'S PROBABLY THE NEWEST STATE,
BUT IT'S AN IMPORTANT STATE.
00:08:08.90\00:08:13.10
THEY HAVE TWO AND A HALF TIMES
THE PER CAPITA GROSS DOMESTIC
00:08:13.10\00:08:18.70
PRODUCT IN GOA AS COMPARED
TO THE ENTIRE REST OF INDIA.
00:08:18.70\00:08:20.70
THAT'S TWO AND A HALF TIMES
MORE PRODUCT PRODUCED IN GOA.
00:08:20.70\00:08:23.50
IT'S A GROWING STATE.
00:08:23.50\00:08:24.50
IT'S THE FASTEST
GROWING STATE IN INDIA.
00:08:24.50\00:08:28.00
WE HAVE ALMOST NO WORK IN GOA.
00:08:28.00\00:08:31.60
WE HAVE I THINK THREE OR
FOUR LITTLE CHURCHES, ABOUT 200
00:08:31.60\00:08:35.06
MEMBERS. THERE ABOUT ONE AND A
HALF MILLION PEOPLE IN GOA, AND
WE HAVE NO GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:08:35.06\00:08:39.86
WORK THERE.
00:08:39.86\00:08:40.86
ONE AND A HALF NOT MEMBERS.
00:08:40.86\00:08:42.53
NO ONE AND A HALF
MILLION PEOPLE LIVING IN GOA.
00:08:42.53\00:08:49.76
AND JUST A
HANDFUL OF ADVENTISTS.
00:08:49.76\00:08:52.63
IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT PLACE.
00:08:52.63\00:08:55.13
AS FAR AS THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE
GOSPEL OUTREACH MINISTRY BY THE
00:08:58.90\00:09:05.36
POPULATION THERE, WE
CAN GET TO THE PEOPLE?
00:09:05.36\00:09:08.20
I THINK WE CAN.
00:09:08.20\00:09:09.50
WE HAVEN'T ENTERED
THERE YET, BUT I THINK WE CAN.
00:09:09.50\00:09:12.33
IT TURNS OUT THAT ABOUT 70 SOME
PERCENT OF THE PEOPLE ARE
HINDUS, BUT ABOUT 35
00:09:12.33\00:09:19.16
PERCENT ARE CHRISTIAN.
00:09:19.16\00:09:21.03
SO THERE IS ROOM
FOR US TO WORK THERE.
00:09:21.03\00:09:23.36
THE IDEA OF CHRISTIANITY
IS NOT FULLY UNKNOWN IN GOA.
00:09:23.36\00:09:26.30
IF YOU'RE LIKE ME YOU LIKE MAPS,
YOU LIKE TO SEE WHERE YOUR ARE
00:09:26.30\00:09:31.56
LOOKING. LET'S TAKE A
LOOK AT THE MAP OF INDIA.
00:09:31.56\00:09:33.73
HERE IT IS ON YOUR SCREEN.
00:09:33.73\00:09:35.43
GOA IS DOWN HERE
ON THE WESTERN SHORE.
00:09:35.43\00:09:38.03
WE'LL LOOK AT THE NEXT
PICTURE WITH A RED CIRCLE.
00:09:38.03\00:09:41.10
THAT'S THE SATE OF GOA DOWN
THERE IN THE SOUTH AND IT'S PART
00:09:41.10\00:09:46.36
OF MY TERRITORY.
00:09:46.36\00:09:47.66
AND ANOTHER PICTURE HERE.
00:09:47.66\00:09:49.03
THIS IS A BLOW UP
OF THE MAP OF GOA.
00:09:49.03\00:09:53.16
IT'S DIVIDED INTO
NORTH GOA AND SOUTH GOA.
00:09:53.16\00:09:56.30
THE NORTH YOU SEE IN THE
BLUES AND SO ON IN THE SOUTH.
00:09:56.30\00:09:59.86
THERE ARE A
NUMBER OF CITIES THERE.
00:09:59.86\00:10:01.86
IT'S NOT JUST THE MAJOR CITIES.
00:10:01.86\00:10:05.03
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF
OTHER SMALL CITIES VIRTUALLY
00:10:05.03\00:10:07.06
UNENTERED, UNENTERED.
00:10:07.06\00:10:08.06
I HAVE A BURDEN TO
SEE WORK GO ON IN GOA.
00:10:08.06\00:10:10.10
THAT'S THE REASON YOU'RE THE
REGIONAL DIRECTOR FOR REGION 17.
00:10:10.10\00:10:12.63
KEEP THAT BEFORE US.
00:10:12.63\00:10:14.03
WE HAVE NO WAY OF REALLY KNOWING
THE DETAIL ABOUT THESE REGIONS
00:10:14.03\00:10:18.00
EXCEPT FOR YOU FOLKS WHO ARE
WILLING TO BE VOLUNTEER
DIRECTORS AND CONNECT US WITH
00:10:18.00\00:10:22.33
THE PEOPLE.
00:10:22.33\00:10:23.53
I'M SURE YOU'RE GOING TO TELL
US ABOUT SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE.
00:10:23.53\00:10:26.13
I HAVEN'T BEEN THERE YET, BUT
I HOPE TO GO THERE VERY SOON AND
00:10:26.13\00:10:32.20
SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO ESTABLISH
WORK IN GOA BECAUSE I FEEL IT'S
VERY, VERY IMPORTANT THAT
00:10:42.46\00:10:46.43
WE BE IN GOA.
00:10:46.43\00:10:47.90
I KNOW OTHERS BELIEVE THAT TOO.
00:10:47.90\00:10:49.46
THIS IS AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO GO THERE.
00:10:49.46\00:10:52.33
WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP AS FAR
AS GOSPEL OUTREACH IS CONCERNED
00:10:55.70\00:11:01.43
UNDER YOUR
LEADERSHIP TO GET THERE?
00:11:01.43\00:11:03.43
OKAY.
00:11:03.43\00:11:04.40
AFTER A BIT I'D LIKE
TO MAKE AN APPEAL FOR GOA.
00:11:04.40\00:11:07.33
WE NEED TO RAISE FUNDS TO PLACE
FIVE OR SIX GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:11:07.33\00:11:12.70
WORKERS IN GOA. I'VE SENT OFF
EMAILS TO THE WEST INDIAN UNION
00:11:12.70\00:11:19.00
AND THE DIVISION. I THINK
THEY ARE SUPPORTIVE OF THIS.
00:11:19.00\00:11:21.00
WE HAVE TO WORK OUT THE
LOGISTICS, BUT I THINK THAT CAN
00:11:21.00\00:11:24.53
BE DONE QUITE QUICKLY.
00:11:24.53\00:11:25.86
THEN WE WILL IDENTIFY GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS AND PLACE THEM
00:11:25.86\00:11:29.13
IN GOA. THAT'S
MOST OF THE NEXT STEPS.
00:11:29.13\00:11:30.40
SO AT THIS POINT THIS IS A
NEW AREA OF GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:11:30.40\00:11:36.20
MINISTRY. IT'S A NEW THRUST WITH
THE DOORS OPEN AND ALL WE HAVE
TO DO IS MAKE SURE WE'VE
00:11:39.36\00:11:45.40
GOT SOME WORKERS TO GO THERE.
00:11:48.90\00:11:50.06
AND YOU'RE
LOOKING FOR FIVE WORKERS.
00:11:50.06\00:11:52.23
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:11:52.23\00:11:53.23
FIVE OR MAYBE SIX EVEN,
BUT AT LEAST FIVE WORKERS.
00:11:53.23\00:11:56.10
HOW I'M SURE THE WAY THINGS-AND
THE PEOPLE DESERVE TO KNOW
00:11:56.10\00:12:00.50
THIS-TH E WAY THINGS
WORK AT GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:12:00.50\00:12:03.56
YOU BRING TO THE GOSPEL OUTREACH
BOARD OF LEADERSHIP-THIS IS A
00:12:03.56\00:12:09.33
WELL-ORGANIZED OPERATION AT
GOSPEL OUTREACH, YOU BRING TO
00:12:09.33\00:12:15.70
THEM THE REQUEST AND WHAT THEN
DO THEY DO WITH YOUR REQUEST?
00:12:15.70\00:12:19.60
THEY WILL TAKE THE
REQUEST TO THE BOARD.
00:12:19.60\00:12:22.86
THE GOSPEL OUTREACH BOARD WILL
REVIEW ALL THE REQUESTS THAT
00:12:22.86\00:12:27.60
COME IN AND THEN THEY WILL
ASSIGN FUNDS TO THIS REQUEST.
00:12:27.60\00:12:29.90
NOW I'M PRETTY SURE, IN FACT I'M
VERY SURE THAT GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:12:29.90\00:12:33.76
IS IN FAVOR OF THIS PROJECT,
BUT WE NEED THE FUNDING.
00:12:33.76\00:12:37.06
SO IT WILL Go TO THE BOARD AND
AS SOON AS WE GET ALL THE PAPER
00:12:37.06\00:12:41.66
WORK IN, IT WILL GO TO THE
BOARD, IT WILL BE APPROVED AND
WE WILL BE PLACING WORKERS
00:12:41.66\00:12:45.60
THERE. WHAT IS YOUR PROCESS FOR
FINDING THE WORKERS WHO WILL BE
00:12:45.60\00:12:52.20
RIGHT FOR GOA? ONE OF THE
GENIUSES ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH
IS THAT THE WORKERS ARE HIRED BY
00:12:52.20\00:12:56.66
THE LOCAL
CONFERENCE OR THE SECTION.
00:12:56.66\00:12:58.70
THEY ARE SUPERVISED
BY THE LOCAL SECTION.
00:12:58.70\00:13:00.73
WE SUPPLY SOME TRAINING FOR
THEM, AND IF THEY DON'T DO THEIR
00:13:00.73\00:13:04.20
JOB THEY ARE
RELEASED BY THE LOCAL SECTION.
00:13:04.20\00:13:06.20
IT'S ALL UNDER CHURCH CONTROL.
00:13:06.20\00:13:07.83
WE LOOK TO THE CHURCH TO SUPPLY
THE WORKERS TO GO INTO GOA.
00:13:07.83\00:13:09.96
WE SUPPLY THE MONEY,
THEY SUPPLY THE WORKERS.
00:13:09.96\00:13:11.96
YOU KNOW, THIS LEADS ME TO A
NEW DIMENSION, IT A PRETTY NEW
00:13:11.96\00:13:17.40
DIMENSION ANYWAY, OF MINISTRY
HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH AND
THAT'S WHAT I HEAR TERMED
00:13:17.40\00:13:23.46
ADOPT A WORKER.
00:13:27.73\00:13:29.13
THE GOA PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO
FORGIVE ME BUT IF YOU KNOW A DON
00:13:29.13\00:13:34.86
OR A DAN OR A DAVID OR A LINDA
OR WHOMEVER IN GOA AND WE COULD
00:13:39.66\00:13:45.73
TELL OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH FAMILY
ABOUT THAT PERSON, YOU COULD SAY
"WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADOPT
00:13:47.93\00:13:55.43
THIS GOA WORKER?"
00:13:55.43\00:13:57.16
AND THAT'S THE WAY
TO GET THE FUNDING.
00:13:57.16\00:13:59.16
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:13:59.16\00:14:00.70
MAYBE WHAT WE NEED TO FIND OUT
FROM THE LEADERSHIP OVER THERE
00:14:00.70\00:14:07.86
IS THE NAMES OF SOME PEOPLE WHO
ARE READY TO GO TO WORK IF THERE
WERE JUST THE RESOURCES TO
00:14:07.86\00:14:11.56
DO IT.
00:14:11.56\00:14:12.56
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:14:12.56\00:14:13.53
SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
GOING TO BE WORKING ON NOW.
00:14:13.53\00:14:15.56
WE NEED TO GET THE NAMES IN.
00:14:15.56\00:14:16.83
THOSE NAMES WILL BE SCREENED
BY THE LOCAL CONFERENCE FOR THE
00:14:16.83\00:14:21.80
UNION THEN THEY WILL BE APPROVED
BY GOSPEL OUTREACH THEN THEY
00:14:21.80\00:14:24.76
WILL BE SET FOR FUNDING.
00:14:24.76\00:14:25.70
THERE'S A SYSTEM HERE
THAT HAS TO BE FOLLOWED.
00:14:25.70\00:14:28.13
I JUST HAD AN IDEA.
00:14:28.13\00:14:30.26
EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T KNOW THE
NAME OF A WORKER YET FOR GOA,
00:14:30.26\00:14:36.03
I'M GOING TO MAKE A
PROPOSAL TO OUR VIEWERS.
00:14:36.03\00:14:39.23
YOU'VE BEEN LISTENING TO US
TALKING ABOUT GOA HERE, AND YOU
00:14:39.23\00:14:45.36
KNOW ABOUT REGION 17 FROM DON
HALENZ'S EXPLANATIONS ON OTHER
00:14:45.36\00:14:51.70
OCCASIONS. WE DON'T KNOW THE
SPECIFIC NAME OF A WORKER OR
WORKERS FOR GOA, BUT I'M
00:14:51.70\00:14:57.73
GOING TO PROPOSE THAT YOU FOLKS
WHWHARE A PART OF OUR GOSPEL
00:14:57.73\00:15:03.83
OUTREACH FAMILY, I'M GOING TO
PROPOSE THAT YOU OFFER TO ADOPT
00:15:03.83\00:15:09.86
A WORKER FOR GOA. YOU
DON'T KNOW HER OR HIS NAME YET.
00:15:11.83\00:15:13.83
THIS IS NOT HARD
FOR YOU TO REMEMBER.
00:15:13.83\00:15:18.10
YOU KNOW GOSPEL OUTREACH IS "GO"
AND ALL YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER IS
00:15:18.10\00:15:24.70
"GOA", GOSPEL OUTREACH GOA
WORKER THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO
00:15:24.70\00:15:29.76
ADOPT. NOW I'VE ALSO PROPOSED IN
OTHER PROGRAMS THAT IF YOU DON'T
00:15:29.76\00:15:35.93
FEEL-B Y THE WAY, HOW MANY
DOLLARS ARE INVOLVED WITH THIS
00:15:35.93\00:15:37.93
DON? ABOUT ONE HUNDRED FIFTY
DOLLARS PER MONTH TO SPONSOR A
00:15:37.93\00:15:42.00
WORKER. ALIGHT.
00:15:42.00\00:15:43.40
IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE THE
HUNDRED AND FIFTY IS WITHIN YOUR
00:15:43.40\00:15:47.60
BUDGET AT THIS TIME, GO TO THE
NEIGHBORS AND ASK THEM TO HELP
00:15:47.60\00:15:50.53
YOU. GO TO YOUR SABBATH SCHOOL
CLASS OR IN SOME FASHION
UNDERTAKE THE SPONSORSHIP,
00:15:50.53\00:15:57.50
THE ADOPTION OF
A WORKER FOR GOA.
00:15:57.50\00:16:00.83
YOU'VE HEARD BROTHER HALENZ SAY
THAT WE NEED FIVE OR SIX WORKERS
00:16:00.83\00:16:07.46
TO GET INTO THIS FIELD WHERE
THERE IS ALMOST NO WORK THAT HAS
00:16:07.46\00:16:11.66
BEEN DONE AND THE FIELDS
ARE WHITE, READY TO HARVEST.
00:16:11.66\00:16:14.40
OKAY, YOU SEE THE ADDRESS, THE
PHONE NUMBER, ALL THE
INFORMATION YOU NEED RIGHT
00:16:14.40\00:16:18.43
THERE ON YOUR SCREEN.
00:16:18.43\00:16:19.80
PLEASE BE IN TOUCH WITH GOSPEL
OUTREACH AND SAY WE'RE READY TO
00:16:19.80\00:16:25.10
ADOPT A WORKER FOR GOA.
00:16:25.10\00:16:26.46
WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL.
00:16:26.46\00:16:28.20
WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO A
POSITIVE RESPONSE TO THIS.
00:16:28.20\00:16:30.46
YES INDEED.
00:16:30.46\00:16:31.86
WELL, ALL THE RESPONSES FROM
OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH FAMILY ARE
00:16:31.86\00:16:34.46
POSITIVE I'LL TELL YOU THAT.
00:16:34.46\00:16:35.46
THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT.
00:16:35.46\00:16:37.40
WHAT ELSE CAN WE KNOW ABOUT GOA
THAT WILL HELP GET US ENTHUSED
00:16:37.40\00:16:44.50
ABOUT THE MINISTRY THERE?
00:16:44.50\00:16:45.73
I COULD SAY A LITTLE ABOUT
THE HISTORY OF THE PLACE IF YOU
00:16:45.73\00:16:48.10
LIKE. YES.
00:16:48.10\00:16:49.46
GOA WAS TAKEN OVER BY THE
PORTUGUESE A LITTLE MORE THAN
00:16:49.46\00:16:54.70
450 YEARS AGO. IT WAS A
PORTUGUESE COLONY FOR A NUMBER
00:16:54.70\00:16:57.76
OF YEARS. THERE WERE VARIOUS
LOOSE KINGDOMS AND SO ON AND
THEY TOOK THE PLACE.
00:16:57.76\00:17:03.76
INDIA WAS NOT
ESTABLISHED AT THAT TIME.
00:17:03.76\00:17:06.93
IT WAS JUST A
LOOSE COLONY AND SO ON.
00:17:06.93\00:17:10.96
WELL THEN INDIA RECEIVED IT'S
INDEPENDENCE FROM ENGLAND IN
00:17:10.96\00:17:15.56
1947. THEY REQUESTED FROM
PORTUGAL TO PLEASE CEDE GOA TO
00:17:15.56\00:17:19.13
US. IT'S JUST THIS
LITTLE AREA ON THE SIDE.
00:17:19.13\00:17:21.13
IT'S ON OUR CONTINENT, WE
SURROUND IT TOTALLY, IT SHOULD
00:17:21.13\00:17:25.23
BE PART OF INDIA. SO THEY
APPEALED TO THE PORTUGUESE
00:17:25.23\00:17:28.36
GOVERNMENT. THE PORTUGUESE
GOVERNMENT SAID "NO WE DON'T
THINK WE'RE GIVE IT TO YOU."
00:17:28.36\00:17:34.03
IT TURNED OUT IN 1961 THERE WAS
A BATTLE THAT LASTED TWO DAYS.
00:17:34.03\00:17:39.70
THE PORTUGUESE WERE DEFEATED,
THE INDIANS WERE VICTORIOUS SO
00:17:39.70\00:17:44.46
THEY SIMPLY TOOK GOA.
00:17:44.46\00:17:45.46
YOU MEAN AS RECENTLY AS 1961?
00:17:45.46\00:17:47.96
IN 1961 THEY
BECAME AN INDIAN COLONY.
00:17:47.96\00:17:51.00
IT'S RECENT HISTORY.
00:17:51.00\00:17:52.40
SO THAT'S PERHAPS ONE REASON WHY
WE BARELY HAVE GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:17:52.40\00:17:57.53
STARTED THERE.
00:17:57.53\00:17:58.76
IT'S GOT THE BEST INFRASTRUCTURE
IN ALL OF INDIA, THE HIGHEST
00:17:58.76\00:18:02.80
STANDARD OF LIVING, THE HIGHEST
PER CAPITA GROSS DOMESTIC
00:18:02.80\00:18:07.36
PRODUCT. IT'S A BOOMING STATE.
00:18:07.36\00:18:09.53
IT'S A PLACE THAT WE NEED TO BE.
00:18:09.53\00:18:14.70
WELL WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO
GO THERE AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN
00:18:14.70\00:18:19.66
AND BRING US BACK MORE
FIRST-HAND ACCOUNTS OF THE
POTENTIAL AND WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF
00:18:19.66\00:18:25.80
WE CAN JUST
LAUNCH THE WORK THERE.
00:18:25.80\00:18:27.66
A LOT OF PEOPLE GO THERE.
00:18:27.66\00:18:29.86
IT'S QUITE A
HEAVILY TOURISTED AREA.
00:18:29.86\00:18:32.73
I HAVE A FINAL SHOT HERE
WHICH WE'LL PUT ON THE SCREEN.
00:18:32.73\00:18:36.06
THIS SHOWS ONE OF THE BEACHES,
ONE OF THE WELL-KNOWN BEACHES IN
00:18:36.06\00:18:40.06
GOA. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PLACE WITH
PALM TREES AND ALL THIS KIND OF
00:18:40.06\00:18:44.03
THING. IT'S A WARM CLIMATE.
00:18:44.03\00:18:45.26
THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE
IS AROUND 30 DEGREES CELSIUS.
00:18:45.26\00:18:47.73
IT'S PLEASANT WINTER AND SUMMER.
00:18:47.73\00:18:49.73
A LOT OF EUROPEANS GO TO
GOA IN THE WINTERTIME FOR THEIR
00:18:49.73\00:18:53.33
VACATION. IN THE SUMMERTIME MORE
OF THE INDIANS WILL GO TO GOA.
00:18:53.33\00:18:56.50
IT'S A LITTLE BIT WARMER.
00:18:56.50\00:18:57.50
IT'S A POPULAR VACATION SPOT.
00:18:57.50\00:18:59.96
YOU LOOK AT THIS AND THINK
IT WOULD BE A WONDERFUL PLACE TO
00:18:59.96\00:19:06.90
BE, SO I'D LIKE TO VISIT NEXT
FEBRUARY OR MARCH AND I CAN
BRING BACK A FIRST-HAND REPORT I
00:19:06.90\00:19:11.66
HOPE.
00:19:11.66\00:19:13.06
I AM FEELING THAT THERE ARE
GOING TO BE SOME OTHER REGIONAL
00:19:13.06\00:19:17.46
DIRECTORS WHO AREN'T A BIT
SYMPATHETIC WITH YOU ABOUT
HAVING A TERRITORY LIKE GOA.
00:19:17.46\00:19:21.76
IT'S A GOOD TERRITORY I'M SURE.
00:19:21.76\00:19:24.93
BUT AS FAR AS THE COUNTRY OF
INDIA IS CONCERNED IT BECOMES A
00:19:24.93\00:19:30.73
VERY SIGNIFICANT
PART AND DIFFERENT.
00:19:30.73\00:19:32.96
IT IS.
00:19:32.96\00:19:33.96
IT'S BROADLY DIVERSIFIED.
00:19:33.96\00:19:35.23
IT'S LISTED AS A BIODIVERSITY
HOT SPOT SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAVE
00:19:35.23\00:19:42.83
IN THE AMAZON.
00:19:42.83\00:19:44.56
IT'S ABOUT 30 PERCENT NATIONAL
FOREST WITH ALL THE FLORA AND
00:19:44.56\00:19:51.90
FAUNA THERE. IT'S QUITE
WELL DEVELOPED ACTUALLY.
00:19:51.90\00:19:54.53
THERE MUST BE QUITE A
PORTUGUESE INFLUENCE STILL.
00:19:54.53\00:19:56.70
YES.
00:19:56.70\00:19:57.70
THE OLDER PEOPLE
STILL SPEAK PORTUGUESE.
00:19:57.70\00:19:59.70
THE YOUNGER GENERATION ARE
LEARNING THE NATIONAL LANGUAGE
00:19:59.70\00:20:05.60
WHICH IS KONKANI. THEY
ARE LEARNING THAT LANGUAGE.
00:20:05.60\00:20:08.76
IT'S INTERESTING THAT THE
ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS ARE ALL
TAUGHT IN THE DIALECT,
00:20:08.76\00:20:12.80
WHATEVER IS THE LOCAL DIALECT,
BUT THE HIGH SCHOOLS ARE
00:20:12.80\00:20:16.56
ENGLISH. IT TURNS OUT THAT
87 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION IS
00:20:16.56\00:20:21.66
LITERATE IN GOA. IT'S QUITE
A HIGH LITERACY RATE IN GOA.
00:20:21.66\00:20:24.80
THEY HAVE SEVERAL UNIVERSITIES,
SEVERAL SCHOOLS OF ENGINEERING,
00:20:24.80\00:20:28.56
THEY HAVE THEIR
OWN MEDICAL SCHOOL.
00:20:28.56\00:20:30.53
IT'S A BOOMING PLACE.
00:20:30.53\00:20:33.90
THAT SUGGESTS THAT GOSPEL
OUTREACH NOT ONLY HAS A VERY
00:20:33.90\00:20:39.96
URGENT MISSION TO SOME
DEVELOPING COUNTRIES OF THE
WORLD BUT THERE ARE
00:20:42.60\00:20:49.00
OPPORTUNITIES FOR GOSPEL
OUTREACH IN THE DEVELOPED WORLD
00:20:49.00\00:20:52.36
AS WELL. THAT'S RIGHT.
00:20:52.36\00:20:53.66
IT'S FASCINATING TO ME THAT
THIS IS A PART OF YOUR TERRITORY
00:20:53.66\00:20:56.33
BECAUSE IT'S QUITE DIFFERENT
FROM SRI LANKA ISN'T IT.
00:20:56.33\00:20:58.33
YES, IT'S VERY
DIFFERENT FROM SRI LANKA.
00:20:58.33\00:21:00.40
IT'S VERY DIFFERENT.
00:21:00.40\00:21:01.60
IT'S PART OF ASIA OF COURSE BUT
SRI LANKA IS A BIT DIFFERENT.
00:21:01.60\00:21:04.63
THEY GROW TEA AND SO ON IN THE
HIGH COUNTRY IN SRI LANKA AND
00:21:04.63\00:21:10.86
RICE IN THE LOWER COUNTRY.
00:21:10.86\00:21:11.86
IN GOA IT'S MOSTLY RICE.
00:21:11.86\00:21:13.23
IT'S LOW LAND BUT THEN THERE
ARE SOME MOUNTAINOUS AREAS TOO.
00:21:13.23\00:21:17.03
IT'S QUITE DIVERSIFIED AND A
WONDERFUL STATE AS FAR AS I CAN
00:21:17.03\00:21:22.20
TELL. YOU KNOW DON, YOU'VE
REALLY IMPRESSED ME TO SAY,
00:21:22.20\00:21:25.66
BECAUSE YOU SAID YOU'RE LOOKING
FORWARD TO YOUR FIRST TRIP TO
GOA AND HERE YOU'RE TALKING
00:21:25.66\00:21:31.73
ABOUT THE TOPOGRAPHY AND YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT THE GEOGRAPHY AND
00:21:33.90\00:21:37.00
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE
POPULATION AND ALL OF THAT.
00:21:37.00\00:21:39.40
OF COURSE WE'RE IN THE AGE WHERE
WE CAN GOOGLE ABOUT ANYTHING WE
00:21:39.40\00:21:45.10
WANT TO AND WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR
THAT, BUT THAT WILL LET YOU GO
TO GOA FEELING A LITTLE
00:21:45.10\00:21:50.33
MORE AT HOME AND KNOWING HOW TO
CONNECT WITH THE PEOPLE THERE.
00:21:50.33\00:21:55.10
DO WE HAVE ANY SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST LEADERSHIP IN GOA OR
00:21:55.10\00:22:01.23
IS IT LEAD FROM OTHER AREAS?
00:22:01.23\00:22:02.66
I CAN'T DETERMINE IF WE HAVE
AN OFFICE OR MISSION OFFICE OR
00:22:02.66\00:22:05.66
SECTION OFFICE IN GOA.
00:22:05.66\00:22:06.83
I THINK IT'S ALL ADMINISTERED
FROM THE UNION OR FROM OTHER
00:22:06.83\00:22:09.83
SECTION HEADQUARTERS WHICH IS
ABOUT 150 MILES AWAY FROM GOA I
00:22:09.83\00:22:15.10
UNDERSTAND. THERE
IS A SECONDARY SCHOOL.
00:22:15.10\00:22:16.36
IT'S A MISSION SCHOOL THAT'S FOR
ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO GO TO THAT
00:22:16.36\00:22:20.26
SCHOOL.
00:22:20.26\00:22:21.63
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF LITTLE
CHURCHES IN THE AREA AND THAT'S
00:22:21.63\00:22:24.33
ABOUT IT. OKAY.
00:22:24.33\00:22:25.76
WELL FOLKS, THIS IS NOT UNLIKE
ANY OTHER REGION WHERE WE HAVE
00:22:25.76\00:22:31.36
WORKERS FROM GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:22:36.63\00:22:39.80
THERE ARE NEEDS.
00:22:39.80\00:22:41.16
THERE ARE SOULS WHO HAVE NOT
HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF KNOWING WHO
00:22:41.16\00:22:47.33
JESUS IS. AND THAT'S WHAT GOSPEL
OUTREACH IS ALL ABOUT-BEING ABLE
00:22:47.33\00:22:52.70
TO ENTER THOSE TERRITORIES
WHERE JESUS WOULD HAVE HIS
00:22:52.70\00:22:57.40
EVANGELISTS, HIS MISSIONARIES GO
TO LET THE FOLKS KNOW WHO HE IS
AND WHAT HE'S LIKE.
00:22:57.40\00:23:02.30
WE'VE GOT JUST A FEW BRIEF
MINUTES HERE REMAINING DON.
00:23:02.30\00:23:09.23
I WANT TO GO BACK, I REMEMBER A
LITTLE BIT BUT NOT TOO MUCH-AND
00:23:09.23\00:23:13.66
THIS IS FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR
VIEWERS WHO MAY BE NEW TO GOSPEL
00:23:13.66\00:23:17.66
OUTREACH. WE HAVE PEOPLE
WHO JOIN US ON A CONSTANT BASIS.
00:23:17.66\00:23:21.13
WHAT WAS IT, YOU CAN BE A LITTLE
MORE SPECIFIC THAN YOU WERE
00:23:21.13\00:23:26.56
EARLIER, WHAT WAS IT THAT
CONVICTED YOU TO JOIN UP WITH
GOSPEL OUTREACH AND BECOME A
00:23:26.56\00:23:32.50
PART OF THIS MINISTRY?
00:23:32.50\00:23:33.60
I'VE BEEN A WORKER FOR THE
CHURCH FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.
00:23:33.60\00:23:36.26
WHEN I CAME BACK FROM OVERSEAS I
JOINED ONE OF OUR NORTH AMERICAN
00:23:36.26\00:23:40.83
COLLEGES.
00:23:40.83\00:23:42.06
I RETIRED AND I WAS
INTERESTED IN DOING SOMETHING.
00:23:42.06\00:23:44.56
I DIDN'T WANT TO JUST SIT
AROUND AND WATCH TELEVISION.
00:23:44.56\00:23:46.66
I WANTED TO DO
SOMETHING FOR THE LORD.
00:23:46.66\00:23:48.66
I CONTACTED GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:23:48.66\00:23:49.96
AT THAT POINT THEY DIDN'T HAVE
ANY OPENINGS BUT A LITTLE BIT
00:23:49.96\00:23:53.90
LATER I RECEIVED WORD THAT YES
THERE WAS GOING TO BE AN OPENING
00:23:53.90\00:23:58.70
IN SOUTH INDIA AND
GO AHEAD AND APPLY.
00:23:58.70\00:24:00.20
SO I SENT MY NAME IN AND I
RECEIVED A RESPONSE TO COME TO
00:24:00.20\00:24:05.46
THE BOARD MEETING. I WENT TO THE
BOARD MEETING THREE YEARS AGO,
BEEN ABOUT THREE YEARS NOW
00:24:05.46\00:24:09.90
OR TWO AND HALF YEARS AND LO AND
BEHOLD THEY SAID "WE'D LIKE TO
00:24:09.90\00:24:14.50
HAVE YOU TAKE SOUTH INDIA."
00:24:14.50\00:24:15.50
I SAID "YES, I WANT TO DO THIS."
00:24:15.50\00:24:17.50
I WOULD LIKE TO DO SOMETHING FOR
THE LORD AS LONG AS I'M ABLE TO
00:24:17.50\00:24:21.26
DO IT. SO AS LONG AS THE LORD
GIVES ME HEALTH AND STRENGTH AND
00:24:21.26\00:24:24.10
MY WIFE SO SHE CAN GO WITH
ME, WE'RE GOING TO SERVE GOSPEL
00:24:24.10\00:24:26.80
OUTREACH. I THINK IT'S A
WONDERFUL MINISTRY, AND I
COMMEND IT TO EVERYONE.
00:24:26.80\00:24:30.66
YOU KNOW, THIS IS JUST A LITTLE
ASIDE BECAUSE ALL OF US AT
00:24:30.66\00:24:36.73
GOSPEL OUTREACH HAVE HAD PRETTY
MUCH OF A HISTORY OF MINISTRY
WITH THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
00:24:39.63\00:24:46.20
CHURCH IN SOME
CAPACITY OR OTHER.
00:24:46.20\00:24:50.06
AT RETIREMENT WE DON'T
STOP, WE DON'T WANT TO STOP.
00:24:50.06\00:24:54.46
I'M NOT GOING TO TELL ANYBODY
HOW OLD I AM BUT I COULD BE
00:24:54.46\00:24:59.63
GRATEFUL FOR THE LIFE THE LORD
HAS GIVEN ME AND YOU AS WELL.
00:24:59.63\00:25:04.63
WHEN WE COME HERE WE'RE WITH A
GROUP OF RETIRED PEOPLE WHO HAVE
00:25:04.63\00:25:12.10
BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE
CHURCH FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.
00:25:12.10\00:25:15.16
THE INTERESTING AND THE
INSPIRING PERSPECTIVE OF IT IS
00:25:15.16\00:25:21.63
IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE TO LIVE
WITH HEALTH AND ENERGY, VITALITY
00:25:21.63\00:25:27.76
AND SOMETHING TO KEEP YOU
EXCITED, JOIN GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:25:27.76\00:25:30.26
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:25:30.26\00:25:31.26
YOU'LL LIVE LONGER.
00:25:31.26\00:25:32.26
YOU'LL STAY HEALTHY.
00:25:32.26\00:25:33.26
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:25:33.26\00:25:34.70
YOU'LL LIVE LONGER, YOU'LL BE
HEALTHIER AND IT'S JUST
WONDERFUL WORKING WITH
00:25:34.70\00:25:37.70
OTHER WORKERS.
00:25:37.70\00:25:38.70
THE INSPIRATION WHICH WE
HAVE WHEN WE GET TOGETHER.
00:25:38.70\00:25:40.70
WE HEAR STORIES FROM AROUND
THE WORLD AND THE INSPIRATION IS
00:25:40.70\00:25:44.73
MARVELOUS. EVERYBODY IS JUST SO
ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE
00:25:44.73\00:25:48.53
DOING. IT'S A
WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE.
00:25:48.53\00:25:49.86
IT'S A WHOLE LOT BETTER
THAN SITTING AT HOME WATCHING
00:25:49.86\00:25:52.70
TELEVISION ALL DAY LONG.
00:25:52.70\00:25:53.86
TO BE OUT AND BE INVOLVED IN
DOING SOMETHING FOR THE LORD.
00:25:53.86\00:25:56.80
DON AND I ARE HERE AT GOSPEL
OUTREACH IN THE FALL OF 2013,
00:25:56.80\00:26:01.46
OCTOBER ACTUALLY.
00:26:01.46\00:26:02.83
THIS IS THE TIME WHEN THE GOSPEL
O OREACH GROUP COMES TOGETHER TO
00:26:02.83\00:26:06.16
LAY PLANS AND TO
CHART THE FUTURE.
00:26:06.16\00:26:10.56
THE SABBATH THAT WE'VE BEEN
TOGETHER WAS A WONDERFUL PRAYER
00:26:10.56\00:26:14.16
EXPERIENCE THAT WE HAD TOGETHER.
00:26:14.16\00:26:16.43
THIS IS NOT A PLACE WHERE WE
JUST COME AND JUST FELLOWSHIP
00:26:16.43\00:26:22.66
WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT TOO, BUT
THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS, SERIOUS
COMMITMENT TO MINISTRY IN
00:26:22.66\00:26:29.03
THE CAUSE OF GOD
IN THE 21ST CENTURY.
00:26:29.03\00:26:31.73
BECAUSE AS I HEAR DON SAY AND I
HEAR SO MANY SAY WE DON'T
BELIEVE WE'VE GOT A
00:26:31.73\00:26:36.80
LOT OF TIME TO DO THE KIND OF
WORK THAT WE'RE COMMISSIONED TO
00:26:36.80\00:26:41.33
DO. SO WE'RE IN
EARNEST ABOUT IT.
00:26:41.33\00:26:43.40
WE'RE CONVICTED ABOUT ITAND
WE'RE HERE TO SEE THE WORK GO
00:26:43.40\00:26:49.70
FORWARD AND ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY
TO BE READY TO SEE JESUS.
00:26:49.70\00:26:52.60
DON, THANK YOU BROTHER.
00:26:52.60\00:26:54.00
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
00:26:54.00\00:26:55.00
IT'S GOOD TO BE WITH YOU.
00:26:55.00\00:26:56.00
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
00:26:56.00\00:26:57.00
AND THANK YOU.
00:26:57.00\00:26:58.00
WE'LL BE BACK
WITH YOU NEXT TIME.
00:26:58.00\00:27:00.13
[CLOSING MUSIC] I NEED TO
SPREAD THE GOSPEL HERE AT HOME.
00:27:07.83\00:27:13.90
WHERE IS THE
10/40 WINDOW ANYWAY?
00:27:18.56\00:27:22.26
THOSE PEOPLE LIVE TOO FAR AWAY.
00:27:22.26\00:27:24.90
SOMEONE ELSE CAN
TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS.
00:27:24.90\00:27:27.33
MAYBE THEY COULD JUST WATCH TV.
00:27:27.33\00:27:31.03
NEARLY THREE
BILLION PEOPLE TO REACH.
00:27:31.03\00:27:34.70
MY HEAD HURTS.
00:27:34.70\00:27:36.63
THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO.
00:27:36.63\00:27:38.70
I GIVE UP.
00:27:38.70\00:27:39.70
WHAT'S THE POINT OF TRYING?
00:27:39.70\00:27:41.73
I CAN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:27:41.73\00:27:43.36
ACTUALLY YOU CAN
MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:27:43.36\00:27:45.83
AND JESUS ASKED YOU
TO GO TO ALL THE WORLD.
00:27:45.83\00:27:51.03
WHERE?
00:27:51.03\00:27:52.03
ALL THE WORLD.
00:27:52.03\00:27:53.20
HOW CAN I GO.
00:27:53.20\00:27:54.20
I HAVE COMMITMENTS.
00:27:54.20\00:27:55.40
YOU CAN PRAY.
00:27:55.40\00:27:57.53
YOU CAN VOLUNTEER YOUR TALENTS.
00:27:57.53\00:28:02.46
YOU CAN TELL OTHERS.
00:28:02.46\00:28:06.50
YOU CAN GIVE MONEY TO
SPONSOR BIBLE WORKERS.
00:28:06.50\00:28:09.33
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE
SEARCHING FOR HOPE AND MEANING.
00:28:09.33\00:28:12.26
BUT THEY WON'T
FIND IT WITHOUT YOU.
00:28:12.26\00:28:14.43
BE THE SPARK.
00:28:14.43\00:28:15.93
LIGHT THE FIRE.
00:28:15.93\00:28:18.36
FINISH THE WORK.
00:28:18.36\00:28:22.23
FINISH THE WORK.
00:28:22.23\00:28:26.13
BE THE SPARK.
00:28:26.13\00:28:27.13
