05:14 YES, THIS WOULD BE A SABBATH SCHOOL ROOM. 05:16 SO THEY HAVE A PLACE FOR THE CHILDREN TO HAVE THEIR OWN PROGRAM. 05:19 RIGHT. 05:20 AND LEARN THE SONGS. 05:21 LEARN THE SONGS. 05:23 YOU KNOW IF THEY SIT IN THE ADULT PROGRAM THEY'RE NOT GOING TO SIT. 05:28 CHILDREN DON'T SIT. 05:30 THEY'RE MOVING, THEY'RE GOING. 05:33 IT MAKES IT HARD FOR THE GRANDPARENTS AND THE PARENTS TOO DOESN'T IT. 05:35 THAT'S RIGHT. 05:37 BECAUSE YOU CAN HARDLY PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON BECAUSE YOU'RE 05:39 BUSY WITH THE CHILDREN. 05:41 SO IF THEY CAN HAVE SOME ACTIVITY THERE IN THE SABBATH SCHOOL THEN MAYBE 05:45 THEY CAN SIT THROUGH THE CHURCH. 05:47 SO I THINK IT'S GOOD TO HAVE SOMETHING FOR THE KIDS. 05:50 AND YOU KNOW IF WE CONVERT ALL OLD PEOPLE THEY'RE GOING TO DIE OFF. 05:56 SURE. 05:58 IF YOU'VE GOT YOUNG PEOPLE YOU'VE GOT A LIFETIME AHEAD. 05:59 THAT'S TRUE. 06:00 SO IT'S GOOD TO GET THESE YOUNG PEOPLE. 06:03 THE NEXT PICTURE IS THAT CHURCH THAT HAS BEEN BUILT THERE. 06:07 YOU KNOW WE WORK TOGETHER WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. 06:09 SURE. 06:10 DAN SMITH HAS BEEN OUT A NUMBER OF TIMES AND HE WAS THERE AND HELD SOME 06:12 EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS. 06:13 AS A RESULT THEY DECIDED THEY NEEDED SOME PROPERTY. 06:15 THE CONFERENCE BOUGHT A PIECE OF PROPERTY AND THE FIRST TIME I WAS THERE IT 06:20 DIDN'T LOOK VERY PROMISING. 06:25 IT WAS ON A HILLSIDE BACK BEHIND A HOUSE AND I THOUGHT WHAT KIND OF A 06:29 CHURCH ARE THEY GOING TO BUILD HERE. 06:31 WELL THIS IS THE KIND OF CHURCH THEY BUILT. 06:33 SOMETIMES ON THE HILL IS GOOD. 06:34 IT'S A BEAUTIFUL SPOT. 06:35 IT CAN BE SEEN FROM AROUND THE COMMUNITY. 06:38 AND THE MEMBERS ARE PROUD OF THEIR FACILITY THERE AND WE'RE JUST VERY HAPPY 06:44 TO HAVE THIS FACILITY. 06:45 I CAN SEE THAT IS A VERY LOVELY CHURCH. 06:49 WE ALSO PARTNER WITH AN ORGANIZATION CALLED PAMAS. 06:53 THAT'S, IF I CAN REMEMBER CORRECTLY, PHILIPPINE ADVENTIST MEDICAL AIR 06:58 SERVICES. 07:05 THEY SPECIALIZE IN AVIATION MOVING PEOPLE AROUND. 07:08 WE HAVE A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER OUT ON THE ISLAND OF LUBONG. 07:15 NOW IT TAKES ABOUT A DAY TO GET OUT THERE BY FERRY AND IT ONLY GOES ONCE 07:21 EVERY OTHER DAY. 07:22 WHEN I GO I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO WASTE SO I TALKED TO DWAYNE HARRIS 07:28 THE DIRECTOR OF PAMAS AND HE AGREED TO FLY ME OUT THERE. 07:33 SO HERE WE ARE IN FRONT OF THE AIRPLANE AS HE IS FUELING IT UP GETTING 07:40 READY TO GO. 07:41 SO THIS LOOKS LIKE A VERY TINY AIRPLANE. 07:44 IT'S A FOUR SEATER. 07:45 OK. 07:46 DO YOU LIKE SMALL AIRPLANES? 07:48 WELL, THEY GET YOU WHERE YOU NEED TO GO. 07:50 THEY DO, THEY DO. 07:51 WELL I HAPPEN TO BECAUSE I'M A PILOT. 07:53 OH, OK. 07:54 SO I ENJOY THESE SMALL AIRPLANES. 07:56 SO THEY'RE ACTUALLY FLYING THIS LITTLE FOUR SEAT AIRPLANE OVER WATER OUT TO 08:02 THE ISLAND. 08:03 AND HOW LONG OF A TRIP IS IT? 08:05 OH IT WAS ONLY ABOUT A 40 MINUTE TRIP. 08:08 OK. 08:09 IT WASN'T VERY FAR. 08:10 SO YOU COULD ALMOST GLIDE TO THE SHORE THEN IF YOU HAD A PROBLEM. 08:14 AND ALL OF THAT WASN'T OVER WATER. 08:16 OK. 08:17 ONLY A PART OF IT. 08:18 THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TAKING A WHOLE DAY RIDING A FERRY. 08:23 WE WENT OVER AND BACK IN HALF A DAY. 08:25 SURE. 08:26 GREAT SAVINGS OF TIME. 08:27 AND DID OUR BUSINESS WHILE WE WERE THERE. 08:29 SO MISSION AVIATION IS SOMETHING THAT'S VERY VALUABLE IN THAT PART OF 08:32 THE WORLD. 08:33 IT'S VERY VALUABLE AND ESPECIALLY IN PLACES LIKE THIS. 08:35 WHEN WE ARRIVED AT THE LITTLE AIRPORT THERE IN LUBONG IT WAS A FLYING 08:41 SCHOOL AND SO THERE WERE A LOT OF PLANES TOUCH AND GO, YOU KNOW LAND AND TAKE 08:47 OFF. 08:49 SO WE HAD TO FIND OUR SEQUENCE TO COME INTO THAT AND WHEN WE CAME IN WE HAD 08:53 TAKEN OFF FROM ANOTHER LITTLE AIRPORT THAT THE ONLY THING THEY KNEW OF IN 08:58 THAT TOWN WAS THE MILITARY. 09:00 THEY THOUGHT WE MUST BE SOME MILITARY OR SOMETHING SO THEY HAD A LINE UP OF 09:04 POLICE THERE TO SEE WHAT'S COMING IN HERE. 09:07 WELL THEY DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE HONORABLE PASTOR FRED WEBB WAS COMING. 09:11 SO DWAYNE HAD TO SIGN SOME PAPERS AND THINGS FOR THEM AND WHILE HE WAS DOING 09:18 THAT I LOOKED AROUND A LITTLE BIT AND THAT'S THE MOST MODERN THING THERE 09:25 WAS AT THE AIRPORT REALLY. 09:26 THEY HAD A NICE SIGN UP THERE AND AS WE WENT OUT FRONT HERE WE MET OUR 09:32 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER. 09:33 THIS IS RENATO AND HE HAS BEEN WORKING ON THIS ISLAND NOW FOR ABOUT FIVE 09:40 YEARS. 09:41 IS HE THERE BY HIMSELF OR DOES HE HAVE A FAMILY? 09:44 HE HAS A FAMILY. 09:46 DO THEY LIVE THERE WITH HIM? 09:47 YES. 09:48 VERY WELL. 09:50 NOW TO GO FROM THE AIRPORT TO THE END OF THE TOWN WHERE THE CHURCH WAS WE 09:56 RODE A TRICYCLE. 09:57 A TRICYCLE AS IN, TELL US WHAT THAT MEANS. 10:01 WELL IT'S A MOTORCYCLE THAT HAS A SIDE CAR BUT THIS ONE HAS BEEN FIXED UP 10:08 TO LOOK LIKE A JEEPNEY. 10:10 OH MY. 10:11 BUT THAT'S A MOTORCYCLE AND A SIDE CAR. 10:14 I SAW A NUMBER OF THEM THAT LOOKED LIKE THAT IN LUBONG AND IT'S THE ONLY 10:18 PLACE I'VE SEEN THEM. 10:19 NOW MOST TOWN IN THE PHILIPPINES HAVE SOME TYPE OF THESE TRICYCLES FOR 10:24 LOCAL TRANSPORTATION. 10:25 AND EACH TOWN HAS A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT DESIGN BUT THIS IS THE MOST 10:29 UNIQUE ONE I THINK I'VE EVER SEEN. 10:31 VERY INTERESTING. 10:33 ALMOST LOOKS LIKE IT COULD SWIM DOESN'T IT. 10:35 RIGHT. 10:36 AMPHIBIOUS. 10:38 THERE IS A CHURCH THERE IN THE MAIN CITY IN LUBONG AND THIS IS THAT CHURCH. 10:44 THE CHURCH MEMBERS THERE HAVE BEEN HELPING OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER AND 10:47 THEY HAVE STARTED TWO OTHER OUTREACH CHURCHES. 10:53 TWO OTHER CONGREGATIONS NOW MEETING. 10:56 GREAT. 10:57 SO THEY HAVE BEEN QUITE SUCCESSFUL BUT THOSE OTHER CONGREGATIONS WERE SOME 11:00 DISTANCE AWAY AND THEY SAID WE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO RIDE ON A 11:05 MOTORCYCLE NOT A SIDE CAR BUT A REGULAR MOTORCYCLE AND THERE WOULD BE PLACES 11:10 WHERE THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE MUD. 11:13 I DECIDED I DIDN'T WANT TO DO THAT THIS TIME. 11:15 SO YOU DIDN'T GO THIS TIME. 11:16 NOT THIS TIME. 11:17 WAIT UNTIL THE DRY SEASON THEN YOU CAN GO. 11:19 WELL IT WAS DRY SEASON. 11:20 OH THAT IS THE DRY SEASON. 11:21 ALRIGHT. 11:23 BUT I'VE BEEN IN PLACES LIKE THAT BUT YOU KNOW I'M NOT 16 ANY MORE. 11:25 NO BUT IF THEY JUST GAVE YOU A BIKE I BET YOU COULD STILL DO IT. 11:28 WELL PROBABLY. 11:31 THESE ARE THE ELDERS OF THE CHURCH THERE THAT HAVE BEEN WORKING ESPECIALLY 11:34 CLOSE WITH HIM. 11:37 ONE OF THEM HAD BEEN LIVING THERE ON THAT ISLAND FOR MANY MANY 11:40 YEARS. 11:42 HE HAS BECOME A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST AND IS ONE OF THE LEADERS 11:44 THERE NOW. 11:46 SO THE IDEA IS TO TRY AND ESTABLISH SOME CHURCHES IN THIS ISLAND WHERE WE 11:48 REALLY DIDN'T HAVE MUCH WORK BEFORE. 11:51 THAT'S THE WORK OF GOSPEL OUTREACH. 11:53 GREAT. 11:55 IT'S NOT ALL WORK THOUGH. 11:56 WE FLEW OVER THE TAAL VOLCANO. 11:59 TAAL IS A FAMOUS ONE. 12:00 IT'S A LARGE VOLCANO, LARGE CALDERA. 12:07 IT'S FULL OF WATER. 12:08 IT'S A LAKE AND OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT LAKE THERE'S AN ISLAND AND IN 12:14 THE MIDDLE OF THAT ISLAND THERE'S ANOTHER LAKE AND HERE YOU CAN SEE THE 12:18 SMALLER LAKE. 12:19 IF YOU LOOK CAREFULLY YOU CAN SEE KIND OF WHITE SPOTS UP ON THE LEFT HAND 12:24 SIDE OF THAT LAKE. 12:27 THOSE ARE BECAUSE THE WATER IS BOILING. 12:30 SO IT'S STILL WARM. 12:31 SO IT'S AN ACTIVE VOLCANO. 12:33 WOW. 12:35 I'VE SEEN IT FROM LAND MANY TIMES AND I HAVE TAKEN A HORSE RIDE UP TO 12:38 THE RIM THERE WHERE YOU SEE THE TRAILS COMING UP AND LOOKED DOWN INTO IT. 12:43 BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD SEEN IT FROM THE AIR. 12:45 IT WAS REALLY A PLEASURE TO SEE IT FROM THE AIR BECAUSE I HADN'T SEEN THAT 12:50 BEFORE. 12:52 DO PEOPLE PRETTY MUCH LIVE ALL THE WAY AROUND IT IN THE JUNGLES THERE OR IS IT 12:55 KIND OF ISOLATED? 12:56 NO, IT'S NOT ISOLATED. 12:57 ACTUALLY AT THE VERY EDGE OF THE LARGER CALDERA THERE IS AN AREA CALLED 13:04 TAGAYTAY AND IT'S A RESORT AREA. 13:06 A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE. 13:07 IT'S A PRETTY GOOD SIZED TOWN. 13:08 WELL TELL US MORE WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE CHURCH THERE. 13:11 NOW WE'RE GOING TO ANOTHER AREA AND THIS IS IN PAMPANGA IN A PLACE CALLED 13:17 FLOI DE BLANCA AND THIS IS A CHURCH THAT HAS NOW BEEN BUILT IN AN AREA THAT WAS 13:24 A RESETTLEMENT AREA AFTER THE MT. 13:26 PINATUBO ERUPTION BACK IN THE 90S. 13:30 WE HAVE HAD THE MONEY TO BUILD THIS CHURCH FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS BUT WE 13:34 COULDN'T GET PERMISSION TO GET A PIECE OF GROUND FROM THE GOVERNMENT. 13:37 FINALLY WE GOT THE PIECE OF GROUND AND NOW THEY'VE BUILT THE CHURCH. 13:40 WE'LL TAKE A FEW MOMENTS TO LOOK AT THESE PICTURES. 13:45 NOW LINDA PANGALINUN HERE IS THE WOMAN WHO HAS RAISED UP THIS CHURCH. 13:49 SHE IS A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER. 13:51 HER HUSBAND EGAR ALONG WITH FRANK STANYER WERE THE ONES THAT ESTABLISHED 13:56 GOSPEL OUTREACH. 13:57 SO THERE'S A LITTLE HISTORY THERE TOO. 13:59 SO GOSPEL OUTREACH DOES HAVE SOME WOMEN WHO ARE ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN 14:03 RAISING UP CHURCHES. 14:05 OH YES. 14:07 IN THE PAMPANGA AREA WE HAVE THREE LADIES AND THEY ARE ALL VERY VERY ACTIVE. 14:12 VERY ACTIVE. 14:13 HARD WORKERS. 14:14 YES. 14:15 THEY ARE. 14:16 GREAT. 14:18 THIS IS A SIGN UP FRONT THAT SHOWS THAT IT IS A GOSPEL OUTREACH CHURCH. 14:21 IT'S BEEN VERY WELL APPOINTED INSIDE. 14:23 I WANT YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS THEN I'LL TELL YOU HOW MUCH THEY PAID. 14:26 OH I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EVEN GUESS. 14:28 THAT'S THE FRONT. 14:29 HERE'S THE BACK OF THE CHURCH. 14:33 IT LOOKS LIKE A BEAUTIFUL PLACE. 14:35 IT IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL PLACE. 14:37 IT'S THE NICEST ONE I'VE SEEN AMONG OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH CHURCHES. 14:40 IT PROBABLY SEATS ABOUT WHAT?
