00:15 WELCOME TO ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH. 00:19 WE'RE DELIGHTED TODAY THAT YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO JOIN US FOR OUR PROGRAM. 00:24 MY NAME IS MIKE PORTER AND MY GUEST TODAY IS CHARLES AND LINDA SHULTZ. 00:31 ACTUALLY NOT "IS" BUT "ARE." 00:32 THE TWO OF YOU ARE HERE TODAY AND WE'RE JUST GLAD THAT YOU'RE HERE. 00:36 I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN DIFFERENT KINDS OF WORK. 00:42 YOU'VE BEEN A PASTOR, YOU'VE BEEN A MISSIONARY AND YOU'VE BEEN IN SEVERAL 00:47 PLACES IN THE WORLD. 00:48 BUT RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE A SPECIAL LOVE FOR NEPAL. 00:53 YES AND IT'S SUCH A PRIVILEGE TO BE ABLE TO BE THE DIRECTOR FOR GOSPEL 00:58 OUTREACH IN THE COUNTRY OF NEPAL. 01:00 I'VE ALWAYS LOVED THIS COUNTRY AND THE PEOPLE AND IT'S EXCITING TO BE ABLE 01:06 TO SEE THE WORK OF THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH GROWING BECAUSE OF 01:11 GOSPEL OUTREACH. 01:12 SO YOU'RE ACTUALLY A PASTOR RIGHT NOW. 01:15 THAT'S RIGHT. 01:16 YOU TRIED TO RETIRE? 01:17 YES. 01:18 AND TRIED IT A COUPLE OF TIMES I UNDERSTAND BUT YOU FLUNKED BOTH TIMES. 01:20 I'M NOT GOOD AT RETIRING. 01:22 YOU KEEP GETTING CALLED BACK TO WORK. 01:24 BUT THEN I GUESS I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THEN IF YOU ARE WORKING AS A 01:28 PASTOR HOW CAN YOU BE WORKING FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH TOO. 01:31 ARE YOU GETTING TWO SALARIES OR HOW DOES THAT WORK. 01:33 NO, THE OREGON CONFERENCE LETS ME GO. 01:36 LET'S YOU GO "GO." 01:39 THAT'S GOOD. 01:40 I TOLD THEM THAT I HAVE A COMMITMENT TO GOSPEL OUTREACH, I'M A VOLUNTEER 01:46 WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH AND I APPRECIATE THEIR GENEROSITY IN LETTING ME 01:52 SPEND TIME IN NEPAL. 01:53 SO GOSPEL OUTREACH IS AN ORGANIZATION THAT EVERYBODY IS A VOLUNTEER. 01:58 THEY DEDICATE THEIR TIME, BUT IN YOUR CASE OREGON CONFERENCE IS ALLOWING YOU 02:04 TO HAVE SOME TIME OFF TO WORK WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH. 02:06 THAT'S RIGHT AND I APPRECIATE THEIR LETTING ME DO THAT. 02:10 THAT'S GREAT. 02:11 AND YOUR WIFE LINDA. 02:13 YOU MENTIONED TO ME EARLIER THAT YOU'VE JUST BEEN MARRIED ABOUT THREE 02:17 YEARS. 02:18 THAT'S RIGHT. 02:19 YOU LOST YOUR WIFE AND YOU FOUND A LOVELY LADY TO SHARE YOUR LIFE WITH, 02:24 LINDA. 02:25 LINDA WHAT ABOUT YOU? 02:27 ARE YOU A WORLD TRAVELER TOO LIKE THIS GUY? 02:30 NO, IN FACT THIS TRIP THAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT TODAY, SOME OF OUR 02:34 EXPERIENCES, THAT WAS MY FIRST TIME OVERSEAS. 02:37 WOW. 02:38 DID YOU HAVE A PASSPORT BEFORE? 02:40 I DID HAVE A PASSPORT, JUST NEVER HAD USED IT. 02:42 I TRAVELED IN CENTRAL AMERICA AND ---BUT I HAD NEVER TRAVELED OVERSEAS TO 02:48 ASIA OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY. 02:50 SO THIS WAS AN INTERESTING FIRST-TIME EXPERIENCE TO NEPAL FOR YOU. 02:54 IT WAS VERY MUCH AN INTERESTING FIRST-TIME EXPERIENCE. 02:56 HOW FUN, HOW FUN. 02:58 WELL IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO HAVE YOUR PERSPECTIVE AS WE'RE 03:01 SHARING TODAY. 03:02 FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THE TWO OF YOU WILL KIND OF TEAM UP HERE IN SHARING 03:08 BUT WE'RE GOING TO HEAR SOMETHING ABOUT A YOUTH CONGRESS IN NEPAL. 03:12 YES, THAT'S RIGHT. 03:13 TELL US ABOUT IT. 03:14 WELL I HAD HEARD ABOUT THIS NEPAL YOUTH CONGRESS AND WANTED TO GO BUT THEN 03:20 I WAS PASTORING IN VIRGINIA AND IT JUST WASN'T FEASIBLE. 03:25 BUT THIS LAST OCTOBER WE WERE ABLE TO GO. 03:30 THIS IS THE ROAD THAT WE TOOK TO GIGOT. 03:33 "GI" IS COW, "GOT" IS MOUNTAIN OR HILL. 03:37 IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL AREA OUT IN THE COUNTRY AND THEY HAD THE 03:45 FACILITIES THAT BELONGED TO SOME TYPE OF COMMUNITY SERVICE ORGANIZATION. 03:52 WE HAD ABOUT 250 YOUNG PEOPLE HERE IN THIS NEPALI YOUTH CONGRESS. 03:59 THIS IS THE RECEPTION COMMITTEE. 04:01 YOU CAN SEE THEY HAVE THEIR NYC SHIRTS. 04:05 WE ALL GOT ONE OF THOSE AND REGISTERED. 04:07 SO THIS WAS KIND OF A CAMP MEETING FOR YOUTH I GUESS YOU COULD SAY. 04:12 YES. 04:13 THAT'S GOOD. 04:14 AND THE THEME WAS "UNITY-ONE MIND, ONE BODY, ONE CHRIST." 04:18 AND THERE HAS BEEN SOME DIFFICULTY IN UNITY IN THE PAST MOSTLY WITH THE OLDER 04:27 ADMINISTRATION AND SO THE IDEA WAS TO GET OUR YOUNG PEOPLE UNITED WITH THE 04:32 MISSION OF THE CHURCH AND WITH EACH OTHER AND THAT WAS THE PURPOSE. 04:37 AND YOU CAN SEE HERE MANY YOUNG PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER NEPAL ON FIRE FOR THE 04:44 LORD. 04:45 THERE ARE NO OLD PEOPLE HERE. 04:46 THEY ARE ALL YOUNG PEOPLE. 04:47 THEY'RE ALL UNDER 30. 04:48 WELL THEY CALL THIS THE YOUTH CONGRESS BUT USUALLY THE YOUTH CONGRESS IN THAT 04:50 PART OF THE WORLD YOU HAVE THE GRANDPARENTS TOO WHO THINK THEIR YOUTH. 05:01 YES. 05:02 THE ONLY GRANDPARENTS THERE WERE-YOU GUYS. 05:04 YES. 05:05 SO YOU'RE THE OLD ONES AROUND THERE. 05:08 AND THEY ASKED ME TO PREACH AND THAT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY. 05:13 HERE YOU SEE WHERE STUDENTS ARE SITTING ON THE FLOOR. 05:17 WE HAD VARIOUS CLASSES. 05:20 I DID NOTICE THAT THE MEETING AREA WAS JUST A COVERED AREA BUT OUTDOORS. 05:26 YES. 05:27 THE WEATHER WAS PERFECT. 05:28 GOOD WEATHER, COMFORTABLE. 05:30 RIGHT. 05:31 THE STUDENTS WERE VERY ACTIVE AND TAKING NOTES. 05:33 THEN WE DIVIDED UP INTO LITTLE GROUPS AND MORE OR LESS IN AREAS. 05:35 IF THEY HAD ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH WAS 05:37 WORKING IN THAT AREA AND ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR UNITY. 05:39 SO BY AREA YOU MEAN TOPICS OR AREAS OF CONCERN OR GEOGRAPHY. 05:41 GEOGRAPHY. 05:42 GEOGRAPHY FROM WHERE THEY CAME FROM. 05:44 FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY. 05:45 RIGHT. 05:46 AND THIS ONE WAS I THINK AROUND POKHARA AND THAT'S PASTOR BIM THERE IN THE 05:48 WHITE SHIRT ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE. 05:50 HE IS A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER. 06:15 SO THESE ARE YOUNG PEOPLE THAT HE NEW AND WORKED WITH IN THE AREA OF 06:20 POKHARA. 06:21 THEN THIS IS A LADY WHO IS OUTSIDE OF THE TOWN OF BANEPA. 06:26 BANEPA IS WHERE WE HAVE OUR SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST HOSPITAL. 06:30 SHE IS IN A VILLAGE ABOUT MAYBE AN HOUR OR SO WALK FROM THE HOSPITAL AND SHE 06:38 WAS WORKING WITH FOUR YOUNG LADIES. 06:42 THESE LADIES IN THE VILLAGE HAD DIFFICULTY WITH DEMON POSSESSION OR 06:47 DEMON HARASSMENT SO OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER THERE ENCOURAGED THEM TO 06:52 COME. 06:53 WHEN YOU SAY DEMON HARASSMENT IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE NORMALLY ARE 07:00 REAL FAMILIAR WITH IN NORTH AMERICA. 07:03 THAT'S RIGHT. 07:04 A LOT OF TIMES IT'S JUST SOMETHING WE HEAR ABOUT OVERSEAS. 07:07 BUT WHAT DOES THAT KIND OF LOOK LIKE. 07:10 WELL THESE GIRLS WOULD BE SITTING IN THE MEETING LISTENING AND THEN ALL OF 07:16 A SUDDEN THEY WOULD START FLAYING THEIR ARMS AND LEGS, FALL OVER AND THEN 07:22 IMMEDIATELY STUDENTS WOULD COME AROUND AND EACH ONE WOULD TAKE A LEG OR AN 07:28 ARM. 07:29 THEY WOULD CARRY HER INTO THIS ROOM. 07:31 WE HAD MATTRESSES ON THE FLOOR AND WE WOULD ANOINT THIS YOUNG LADY HERE. 07:38 WE HAD OIL, WE PRAYED, WE SANG AND BASICALLY THEN THEY WOULD JUST KIND OF 07:46 QUITE DOWN. 07:47 THEY WOULD PASS OUT. 07:49 IT WAS LIKE THEY WERE UNCONSCIOUS. 07:53 BUT THEIR FISTS WERE JUST DOUBLED UP THEY WERE JUST SO TENSE AND TIGHT. 07:58 THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY WOULD BEGIN TO RELAX THEIR FIST AND THEY WOULD WAKE 08:02 UP AND THEY WERE OK. 08:04 AND PROBABLY THEY DIDN'T REMEMBER THE EXPERIENCE. 08:08 NO. 08:09 THEY KNEW THAT THEY HAD, SOMETHING HAD HAPPENED. 08:11 BUT YOU KNOW THEY WERE SO HAPPY TO BE FREE FROM THIS INVOLVEMENT. 08:21 WE HAVE A PICTURE HERE OF THE GIRLS AFTERWARDS. 08:24 NOW THESE ARE THE FOUR IN THE MIDDLE. 08:26 THE ONE ON THE END IS THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER AND THAT'S ANOTHER ONE OF HER 08:33 FRIENDS BUT THESE FOUR GIRLS IN THE MIDDLE, THEY WERE JUST RADIANT WITH JOY 08:40 AND APPRECIATION FOR BEING DELIVERED. 08:43 AND IT WAS ALL BECAUSE OF THIS GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER TAKING THE EXTRA 08:46 TIME TO CONVINCE THESE GIRLS. 08:50 THEY WERE UNDECIDED WHETHER THEY SHOULD GO OR NOT GO AND FINALLY THEY 08:54 CAME AND THEY WERE DELIVERED, THEY WERE BLESSED. 08:56 LET'S JUST KEEP THAT SLIDE UP THERE BEFORE WE GO TO THE NEXT ONE. 09:00 MAYBE WE COULD TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT. 09:04 ESPECIALLY LINDA, WAS THAT KIND OF A NEW EXPERIENCE FOR YOU TO SEE SOMETHING 09:09 LIKE THAT. 09:10 YES, THAT WAS DEFINITELY ONE OF MY NEW EXPERIENCES. 09:12 I WAS IN THE ROOM, THESE WERE HAPPENING TO DIFFERENT GIRLS AT 09:16 DIFFERENT TIMES, BUT I WAS IN THE ROOM AT ONE TIME WHEN THERE WERE TWO OF THE 09:23 GIRLS IN THERE AND WE WERE SINGING, PRAYING JUST TRYING TO CALM THEM DOWN, 09:30 REASSURE THEM AND AFTER THEY WERE DELIVERED FROM THIS HARASSMENT FROM THE 09:37 DEMONS THEN I HAD SOME TIME TO SPEND WITH THEM AFTERWARDS. 09:41 THEY ATE WITH US AND THEY STUCK PRETTY CLOSE TO US. 09:45 THEY WERE JUST VERY, VERY SWEET GIRLS BUT IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE THE 09:47 STRENGTH THAT THEY HAD WHEN THEY WERE UNDER THIS HARASSMENT OR INFLUENCE. 09:51 YOU KNOW A TINY LITTLE HUNDRED POUND GIRL COULD BE FIGHTING FOUR OR FIVE 10:00 MEN TRYING TO HOLD HER DOWN. 10:06 SO WOULD YOU SAY THAT THE PEOPLE KIND OF WERE EXPECTING THAT? 10:14 IS THAT WHY THEY HAD THE ROOM PREPARED? 10:16 WELL, I THINK THAT IT HAD HAPPENED PRIOR TO THE TIME THAT WE WERE IN THERE AND 10:25 SO WHEN THEY WOULD HAVE THESE SITUATIONS THEN THEY WOULD TRY TO ISOLATE THE 10:28 GIRLS AWAY FROM THE REST OF THE GROUP. 10:32 AND ANOTHER QUESTION. 10:34 WERE THESE PEOPLE FROM ADVENTIST BACKGROUND OR FROM CHRISTIAN BACKGROUND 10:40 OR WERE SOME OF THEM FROM OTHER BACKGROUNDS? 10:43 THEY WERE PREPARING TO BECOME CHRISTIANS. 10:47 OK. 10:48 BECAUSE THAT SAYS A LOT. 10:52 YOU KNOW THAT THE ENEMY THE DEVIL IS DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO STOP 10:58 PEOPLE FROM COMING TO BE FREE IN JESUS. 11:02 AND THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER WAS STUDYING WITH THEM AND THEN THIS STARTED 11:07 COMING UP AS SHE STUDIED WITH THEM. 11:09 EXACTLY. 11:10 THAT'S PRETTY COMMON ACTUALLY AS YOU WELL KNOW. 11:14 WHEN SOMEBODY IS GETTING CLOSE TO MAKING A DECISION TO GIVE THEIR LIFE TO 11:21 JESUS, AND THAT'S WHAT THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS ARE ALL ABOUT, THAT'S WHEN 11:26 THE DEVIL SHOWS UP AND TRIES TO MAKE PROBLEMS AND TRIES TO GET INTO PEOPLES' 11:30 LIVES AND DESTROY THEM EVEN AND KEEP THEM FROM MAKING THAT DECISION. 11:35 SO THANKFULLY THERE ARE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS AROUND WHO ARE READY TO 11:42 PRAY, READY TO SING, READY TO EVEN TAKE AUTHORITY OVER THE DEVIL. 11:48 NOW WE KNOW ONE THING FOR SURE, SCRIPTURE IS VERY CLEAR, REVELATION THAT THE 11:55 DEVIL HAS BEEN OVERCOME. 11:58 HE'S BEEN DEFEATED BY JESUS ON THE CROSS. 12:01 SO FORTUNATELY THAT'S NOT THE LAST WORD WHEN THESE GIRLS OR THESE MEN OR 12:07 THESE BOYS OR WHOEVER IT IS THAT THE DEVIL IS TRYING HIS BEST TO GET TO 12:11 GO WITH HIM WE HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BE ABLE TO SAY NO, YOU DON'T GET THIS 12:17 PERSON. 12:18 THAT'S RIGHT. 12:19 BECAUSE GOD HAS ALREADY SAID HE BELONGS TO HIM. 12:21 JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS. 12:22 AMEN. 12:24 WELL WE WANT TO JUST TAKE A LITTLE BREAK RIGHT NOW FOR OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH 12:29 TEAM TO SHOW YOU, SHOW YOU THE VIDEO ON THE "SPARK." 12:33 I NEED TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL HERE AT HOME. 12:40 WHERE IS THE 10/40 WINDOW ANYWAY? 12:44 THOSE PEOPLE LIVE TOO FAR AWAY. 12:47 SOMEONE ELSE CAN TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS. 12:49 MAYBE THEY COULD JUST WATCH TV. 12:52 NEARLY THREE BILLION PEOPLE TO REACH. 12:55 MY HEAD HURTS. 12:57 THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO. 12:59 I GIVE UP. 13:00 WHAT'S THE POINT OF TRYING? 13:03 I CAN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE. 13:05 ACTUALLY YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. 13:08 AND JESUS ASKED YOU TO GO TO ALL THE WORLD. 13:13 WHERE? 13:14 ALL THE WORLD. 13:15 HOW CAN I GO, I HAVE COMMITMENTS. 13:17 YOU CAN PRAY. 13:23 YOU CAN VOLUNTEER YOUR TALENTS. 13:26 YOU CAN TELL OTHERS. 13:28 YOU CAN GIVE MONEY TO SPONSOR BIBLE WORKERS. 13:31 MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE SEARCHING FOR HOPE AND MEANING. 13:34 BUT THEY WON'T FIND IT WITHOUT YOU. 13:36 BE THE SPARK. 13:38 LIGHT THE FIRE. 13:40 FINISH THE WORK. 13:43 FINISH THE WORK. 13:46 BE THE SPARK. 13:49 WELCOME BACK TO ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH TELEVISION 13:53 PROGRAM. 13:54 WE'RE JUST DELIGHTED THAT YOU'RE LISTENING AND WATCHING WITH US TODAY. 13:59 MY GUESTS ARE CHARLES AND LINDA SHULTZ AND THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING IN NEPAL AND 14:05 THEY'RE LOOKING AFTER THE WORK IN NEPAL ON BEHALF OF GOSPEL OUTREACH. 14:10 THAT'S RIGHT. 14:11 WE'RE JUST GLAD YOU'RE HERE TODAY. 14:13 THANKS FOR COMING BY. 14:14 THANK YOU. 14:15 AND THANK YOU FOR THE WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING. 14:17 WE JUST HEARD A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW SOMETIMES WE EXPERIENCE DIFFERENT 14:22 THINGS THAT WE HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE. 14:24 WE RECOGNIZE THAT THE DEVIL IS ALIVE AND WELL BUT HE IS DEFEATED. 14:29 PRAISE THE LORD HE IS DEFEATED. 14:31 THAT'S RIGHT. 14:32 AND WE KNOW THAT AND WE GOT TO SEE THAT AS YOU SHARED THE PICTURES OF HOW 14:36 THESE GIRLS WERE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THEIR LIVES WALKING WITH JESUS 14:45 IN THE POWER OF THE CROSS. 14:47 THAT'S RIGHT. 14:48 AMEN. 14:49 WELL LET'S GO ON. 14:50 YOU'VE GOT SOME MORE PICTURES FOR US. 14:52 YES, WE HAVE A PICTURE OF TALKING WITH THE YOUTH FROM---. 15:00 NOW THESE YOUNG PEOPLE OF COURSE THEY UNDERSTAND ENGLISH BUT THEIR MOTHER 15:06 TONGUE IS SENTALI. 15:07 SENTALI. 15:08 I FEEL BAD THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY ADVENTIST LITERATURE IN SENTALI, 15:10 THAT LANGUAGE. 15:11 BUT IT WAS WONDERFUL THAT WE HAVE OTHER LITERATURE. 15:13 THIS IS ALL IN NEPALI AND THIS HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO THE YOUNG PEOPLE AND SO AS 15:27 THEY LEAVE THEY PICK UP AS MANY BOOKS AS THEY CAN CARRY SO THAT THEY CAN 15:33 SHARE THE GOOD NEWS WITH THEIR RELATIVES, FRIENDS, FAMILY. 15:39 MANY OF THESE YOUNG PEOPLE ARE FIRST GENERATION CHRISTIANS. 15:42 I SEE. 15:44 AND YOU KNOW THEY'RE COMING BACK TO A HOME WHERE MAYBE THEIR PARENTS 15:48 AND RELATIVES ARE NOT CHRISTIAN. 15:50 SO THEY NEED TO BE FORTIFIED. 15:52 AND THAT WAS ANOTHER REASON FOR THE NYC WAS TO ENCOURAGE OUR YOUNG 15:57 PEOPLE. 15:58 THEY ARE NOT ISOLATED IN SOME LITTLE VILLAGE WAY UP THERE IN THE HILLS. 16:03 THERE ARE OTHER CHRISTIAN YOUNG PEOPLE, NEPALI SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST 16:08 YOUNG PEOPLE AND IT GIVES THEM A FEELING OF COMMUNITY. 16:11 OK. 16:12 NOW HERE IS A PICTURE OF---. 16:15 HE IS A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER FROM RUKUM. 16:18 IF YOU WANT TO GO TO RUKUM FIRST OF ALL YOU TAKE A BUS RIDE FOR TWO DAYS, 16:25 THIS IS AFTER YOU LAND IN THE CAPITAL RIGHT. 16:27 OH YES. 16:28 SO YOU HAVE TO FLY ABOUT A DAY AND A HALF OR TWO DAYS OR WHATEVER TO GET THERE. 16:32 ONE OF THESE DAYS I WANT TO GO TO RUKUM. 16:34 BUT IT'S A TWO DAY BUS RIDE AND THEN IT'S A SIX DAY WALK. 16:37 WOW. 16:39 AND SO YOU CAN IMAGINE THIS YOUNG MAN, THE THRILL OF BEING WITH YOUNG 16:44 PEOPLE. 16:45 HE IS IN HIS TWENTIES, UNMARRIED, BUT WHAT A THRILL THAT HE HAD. 16:51 SO HE CAME ALL THE WAY FROM RUKUM FOR THE YOUTH CONGRESS. 16:55 SO HE HAS THIS JOURNEY OF A COUPLE OF WEEKS ALMOST TO GET THERE. 17:00 YES. 17:01 AMAZING. 17:02 IS HE ALL BY HIMSELF UP THERE? 17:07 YES. 17:08 PRETTY MUCH. 17:09 HE HAS, YOU KNOW, HE'S BEEN STUDYING WITH PEOPLE AND HE HAS A LITTLE CHURCH 17:12 WITH A CONGREGATION BUT JUST BEING WITH OTHER SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS, 17:19 THE FELLOWSHIP. 17:19 THE FELLOWSHIP WAS VERY SPECIAL FOR HIM. 17:22 THAT'S WONDERFUL AND DO YOU AS THE GOSPEL OUTREACH SUPERVISOR THEN FOR NEPAL, 17:30 HE WOULD BE ONE OF YOUR PEOPLE. 17:32 OH YES, ABSOLUTELY. 17:34 SO I GUESS YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO THERE NEXT TIME. 17:36 SO LINDA WHAT ABOUT IT? 17:39 ARE YOU UP FOR A SIX-DAY HIKE? 17:43 WELL, WE ARE RETURNING TO NEPAL LATER THIS YEAR. 17:46 WE'LL BE MAKING ANOTHER TRIP. 17:47 WE WILL BE RETURNING TO---AND NEPALI YOUTH FOR CHRIST CONFERENCE AGAIN 17:52 THIS YEAR. 17:53 IT WAS A REAL NICE OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT WITH A LOT OF OUR GOSPEL 17:57 OUTREACH WORKERS IN THAT SETTING. 17:59 WE ALSO LIKE TO TRAVEL TO THE AREAS WHERE THEY ARE WORKING AND WE DID GET TO 18:06 DO THAT ON THIS TRIP AND WE WILL DO THAT AGAIN, TRAVEL TO THE VILLAGES 18:08 WHERE THEY'RE WORKING BUT THE NYC WAS A VERY NICE PLACE TO CONNECT WITH 18:12 THEM, GET TO KNOW THEM, ENCOURAGE THEM, SUPPORT THEM AND JUST BE BLESSED 18:16 OURSELVES BY SEEING THESE YOUNG PEOPLE JUST ON FIRE FOR THE LORD. 18:20 FOR SURE. 18:22 BECAUSE ONE OF THE JOBS THAT THE TWO OF YOU DO IS YOU PROVIDE TRAINING, 18:27 ENCOURAGEMENT AND PRAYER AND JUST TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE WITH THEIR WORK 18:32 RIGHT. 18:33 THAT'S RIGHT. 18:34 TO BE ABLE TO LEAD PEOPLE TO KNOW JESUS. 18:36 AND WE'RE GOING BACK TO THE NEXT ONE THIS OCTOBER AND THEIR THEME IS 18:38 RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH. 18:40 WELL GOOD. 18:42 THEY'RE SO EXCITED. 18:43 RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH. 18:44 THAT'S WHAT GOSPEL OUTREACH IS ALL ABOUT ISN'T IT. 18:47 PRESENTING RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. 18:50 AMEN. 18:51 AMEN IS RIGHT. 18:52 WELL LET'S CONTINUE WITH SOME OF THE SLIDES HERE. 18:56 I THINK YOU'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME REFUGEE WORK. 19:01 YES, THIS NEXT SLIDE IS---WELL MAYBE LINDA YOU CAN TELL US ABOUT IT. 19:05 YES, LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT DILIP. 19:07 WE MET DILIP AT THE NYC. 19:09 HE IS ONE OF OUR NEWER GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 19:12 HE WAS JUST RECENTLY RECRUITED FROM ONE OF THE REFUGEE CAMPS IN NEPAL. 19:18 WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE REFUGEE CAMPS ON SOME OF THE OTHER, SOME OF THE 19:24 OTHER PROGRAMS. 19:26 JUST REMIND ME THE PEOPLE WOULD BE REFUGEES FROM WHERE? 19:30 THE REFUGEES FROM THE COUNTRY OF BHUTAN. 19:33 THEY ARE ACTUALLY NEPALI WHO HAD BEEN IN BHUTAN FOR GENERATIONS AND ABOUT 20 19:39 SOME YEARS AGO THEY HAD BEEN KICKED OUT OF THAT COUNTRY. 19:42 THE GOVERNMENT HAS ALLOWED THEM TO SETTLE IN NEPAL TEMPORARILY AND THEY ARE 19:46 BEING RELOCATED A LOT OF THEM TO THE UNITED STATES AND TO CANADA. 19:50 BUT DILIP WAS FROM THE BELDANGI REFUGEE CAMP WHICH WE ALSO HAD AN 19:58 OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT RIGHT AFTER WE WERE AT THE NYC. 20:03 SO THERE ARE REFUGEE CAMPS THEN WHERE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS CAN ACTUALLY DO 20:08 WORK THEN. 20:09 YES, THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF WORK TO BE DONE THERE. 20:14 THIS IS AN AREA THAT WE'VE HAD A REAL INTEREST IN AND DILIP IS OUR FIRST WORKER. 20:21 WE'RE LOOKING TO HAVE TWO MORE WORKERS IN THAT CAMP. 20:25 THERE'S A LOT OF INTEREST. 20:27 THERE'S ACTUALLY A LOT OF CHRISTIANS IN THE CAMP. 20:30 THERE IS AN INTEREST IN CHRISTIANITY. 20:33 THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN THERE FOR 20 SOME YEARS AND SOME OF THEM WERE BORN 20:38 IN THE CAMP. 20:39 I THINK WE'VE GOT A COUPLE MORE PICTURES OF THIS CAMP 2 THERE, THE REFUGEE CAMP. 20:42 YES, THIS IS US ARRIVING AT THE CAMP. 20:45 WE DROVE AN HOUR OR TWO FROM THE NYC TO GET THERE. 20:49 WE WENT THERE WITH ONE OF OUR PASTORS IN NEPAL, PASTOR---WHO IS IN THE RED 20:54 SHIRT. 20:55 NOW THAT'S A LITTLE BIT BETTER TRANSPORTATION THAN SOME OF THE OTHER THAT 20:59 I'VE SEEN. 21:01 THIS WAS ACTUALLY THE BEST TRANSPORTATION WE HAD THE WHOLE ENTIRE TIME WE WERE 21:03 THERE. 21:04 SURE. 21:06 I RODE IN THE BACK OF A MOTORCYCLE THEN RICKSHAWS AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. 21:13 WE TOOK QUITE A LONG JOURNEY AND WE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE SO WE RENTED 21:18 THIS VEHICLE TO TAKE US. 21:21 THIS IS IN THE CAMP WITH DILIP. 21:24 YOU CAN SEE DILIP WITH HIS NYC SHIRT IN THE BURGUNDY THERE AND THE PASTOR IS 21:30 THERE IN THE RED SHIRT THEN ON THE END IS A PASTOR WHO IS DILIP'S 21:36 BROTHER WHO ACTUALLY HAD THE SMALL CHURCH CONGREGATION IN THE CAMP. 21:40 SO THE PASTOR SPENT QUITE A BIT OF TIME IN THAT CAMP GETTING TO KNOW THEM, 21:46 BEFRIENDING THEM. 21:48 WE'RE LOOKING AT MAYBE TRYING TO MEET SOME OF THEIR NEEDS FROM A HEALTH 21:51 STANDPOINT ALSO. 21:52 THEY ARE VERY INTERESTED IN THE GOSPEL AND BIBLE STUDY. 21:58 YOU KNOW IT JUST SEEMS SO FOREIGN TO OUR THINKING THAT THERE CAN BE PEOPLE 22:06 WHO FOR 20 YEARS OR 30 YEARS OR EVEN MORE SOMETIMES KNOW NOTHING BUT 22:13 LIVING IN A CAMP. 22:14 AND MANY OF THESE PEOPLE WERE BORN THERE. 22:16 THERE ARE SO MANY CHILDREN. 22:18 EVERYWHERE WE WENT IN NEPAL THERE WERE CHILDREN BUT LIKE EVERY WHERE A LOT 22:21 OF CHILDREN. 22:22 THESE CHILDREN WERE BORN IN THESE REFUGEE CAMPS. 22:24 THIS IS ALL THAT THEY KNOW. 22:25 LIKE I SAID THEY ARE BEING RESETTLED SLOWLY. 22:29 THERE ARE A LOT OF THEM HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. 22:32 WE HAD ACTUALLY BECOME ACQUAINTED WITH THE REFUGEES WHEN WE WERE 22:35 LIVING IN VIRGINIA AND WERE HELPING TO MINISTER TO ONE IN NORTH CAROLINA. 22:40 AND WE'VE HAD SOME CONTACT WITH THE REFUGEES ALSO IN SAN DIEGO. 22:43 SEE WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE IN REFUGEE CAMPS CHARLES 22:49 AND LINDA IS THAT YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THESE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GO 22:54 NEXT SO IF YOU CAN KEEP TRACK OF THESE PEOPLE IN THE CAMPS THROUGH GOSPEL 23:01 OUTREACH WORKERS THEY CAN THEN BE RECONNECTED, WHEN THEY DO RELOCATE THEY CAN 23:05 BE MATCHED UP WITH OTHER PEOPLE WHO WANT TO WALK AND SHARE THEIR SAME 23:10 FAITH. 23:11 YES. 23:12 IT'S A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY. 23:14 AND THEY HAVE RELATIVES HERE IN THE UNITED STATES AND THEY KNOW WHERE THOSE 23:17 RELATIVES ARE. 23:18 HERE'S A PICTURE, THEY USUALLY DO, OF THE CAMP. 23:21 THE GOVERNMENT SAYS THEY CAN ONLY USE MUD AND BAMBOO AND THATCH. 23:29 BUT DO YOU SEE THAT SHINY SILVER THING, KNOW WHAT IT IS? 23:31 SO WHY THE MUD AND THE THATCH. 23:33 THEY DON'T WANT IT TO BE A PERMANENT CAMP. 23:35 BECAUSE THIS IS A REFUGEE CAMP, TEMPORARY, SO YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO BUILD A 23:40 PERMANENT HOME LIKE OUT OF BLOCKS OR CEMENT BECAUSE YOU'RE JUST SUPPOSED TO BE 23:44 THERE TEMPORARILY. 23:45 RIGHT. 23:46 EVEN IF IT'S TEN YEARS. 23:48 AND THIS IS A RICE COOKER. 23:49 IT USES THE HEAT OF THE SUN AND THEY PUT THEIR DINNER OF RICE AND THEY'LL 23:54 COOK IT. 23:57 IT'S AMAZING. 23:58 SO WHAT THIS IS, AND YOU WOULDN'T THINK THAT YOU COULD DO YOUR COOKING WITH 24:04 JUST SOLAR ENERGY, BUT THIS IS A BIG PARABOLIC CURVE, YES, THAT PUTS ALL 24:11 THE SUN'S RAYS RIGHT TO THE POT IN THE MIDDLE. 24:14 YOU CAN BAKE THINGS? 24:15 YES. 24:16 YOU CAN COOK THINGS? 24:17 YES. 24:19 JUST WITHOUT ANY WOOD OR ANY FIREWOOD OR ANY COAL OR ANY GAS. 24:22 IT'S AMAZING. 24:23 HERE'S ANOTHER PICTURE OF THE INSIDE OF THE CHURCH. 24:27 YOU HAVE A PICTURE OF JESUS, YOU HAVE THE CROSS AND THE GUITAR AND THE 24:32 DRUMS. 24:33 HERE'S ANOTHER PICTURE INSIDE. 24:36 WE SANG SONGS WITH THESE KIDS AND I STILL REMEMBER MY NEPALI ACTION SONGS. 24:43 OH YES. 24:44 THEY GOT A BIG BANG OUT OF THAT. 24:46 SO YOU MENTIONED THAT THEY HAVE LIVELY MUSIC. 24:51 OH YES. 24:52 SOMETIMES THERE'S DRUMS. 24:53 YES, THE DRUMS ARE TO KEEP TIME WITH. 24:55 YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE DRUMS TO KEEP TIME. 24:57 AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE DRUMS THEN THEY CLAP. 25:00 NOW THIS IS A CONGREGATION. 25:04 THIS CONGREGATION IS NOT SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST, THEY ARE CHRISTIAN. 25:12 DILIP IS GOING TO BE WORKING WITH HIS BROTHER WHO IS A PASTOR. 25:16 SO THAT'S KIND OF A NATURAL TRANSITION. 25:20 THEN THIS COUPLE ASKED US TO COME INTO THEIR HOME AND PRAY, PRAY FOR AND 25:27 BLESS THEIR HOME. 25:29 WE WERE TOUCHED WITH THAT. 25:31 THEY HAVE A CROSS ON THEIR DOOR. 25:33 THEY WANT TO BE KNOWN IN THE HINDU COMMUNITY AS CHRISTIANS. 25:37 THEY'RE NOT AFRAID TO LET PEOPLE KNOW. 25:40 HOW INTERESTING. 25:41 RIGHT THERE IN THEIR COMMUNITY THEY'RE ALREADY SHARING THEIR FAITH EVEN 25:43 WITH SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS THAT. 25:45 YES. 25:46 SO THIS FAMILY, THIS GROUP OF REFUGEES. 25:52 IT'S HARD FOR US TO IMAGINE HAVING TO LIVE IN THOSE KIND OF CONDITIONS. 25:55 YES. 25:57 HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE TO DO ALL OF YOUR COOKING OUTSIDE. 26:00 I ASSUME YOU DO SOME OF THE COOKING AT YOUR HOUSE? 26:04 I DO A LOT OF THE COOKING. 26:05 I WOULDN'T KNOW FOR SURE, I WOULDN'T PRESUME TO JUDGE BUT I'M VERY 26:11 THANKFUL, AT MY HOUSE AT LEAST, THAT MY WIFE IS A REALLY GOOD COOK. 26:16 I THINK I MIGHT GET PRETTY HUNGRY IF IT WAS LEFT UP TO ME. 26:19 I WAS AMAZED AT SOME OF THE MEALS WE WERE SERVED FROM KITCHENS THAT WERE 26:22 OUTSIDE. 26:24 YOU SEE THE SIMPLE FIRES OUTSIDE AND YET IN SPITE OF ALL THAT THEY COME UP 26:28 WITH WONDERFUL FOOD. 26:29 GOURMET MEALS. 26:31 THEY DO. 26:32 WELL I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE 26:37 DOING THERE IN NEPAL WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH. 26:39 I'D LIKE TO JUST MENTION TO OUR VIEWER AUDIENCE, WE JUST WOULD ASK FOR THREE 26:46 THINGS FROM YOU. 26:48 NUMBER ONE WE INVITE YOU TO PRAY, PRAY FOR THE WORK. 26:52 NUMBER TWO, YOU CAN VOLUNTEER AND NUMBER THREE YOU CAN SEND FUNDS TO HELP 26:57 MAKE GOSPEL OUTREACH BE WHAT IT NEEDS TO BE. 27:02 THANK YOU FOR WATCHING TODAY. 27:03 [CLOSING MUSIC] |
