[OPENING MUSIC].
00:00:00.43\00:00:15.84
WELCOME TO ADVENTURES
IN MISSIONS HERE AT GOSPEL
00:00:15.88\00:00:19.95
OUTREACH. IT'S A SPECIAL DAY.
00:00:19.98\00:00:21.65
WE HAVE A LOT OF GUESTS HERE.
00:00:21.68\00:00:23.75
MY NAME IS OLE OLESON
AND WITH ME IS DEAN CORIDAN.
00:00:23.79\00:00:29.42
WELCOME DEAN.
00:00:29.46\00:00:30.43
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
00:00:30.46\00:00:31.43
NOW WHERE ARE YOU COMING FROM?
00:00:31.46\00:00:32.43
I'M IN THE
IOWA-MISSOURI CONFERENCE.
00:00:32.46\00:00:34.73
IOWA-MISSOURI CONFERENCE
OF SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS.
00:00:34.73\00:00:38.10
WHAT IS YOUR ROLE THERE?
00:00:38.13\00:00:39.17
I'M THE
CONFERENCE PRESIDENT THERE.
00:00:39.20\00:00:41.17
THAT WILL DO.
00:00:41.20\00:00:42.04
HOW LONG HAS THAT
BEEN TRUE AS PRESIDENT?
00:00:42.07\00:00:44.17
TEN YEARS.
00:00:44.21\00:00:45.17
YOU'VE BEEN
PRESIDENT FOR TEN YEARS?
00:00:45.21\00:00:47.18
YES.
00:00:47.21\00:00:48.18
YOU KNOW THAT PLACE WELL.
00:00:48.21\00:00:49.18
I KNOW IT WELL.
00:00:49.21\00:00:50.61
NOW WHAT BRINGS YOU TO GOSPEL
OUTREACH BECAUSE NORMALLY I
00:00:50.65\00:00:52.18
DON'T THINK OF GOSPEL OUTREACH
AS PART OF THE IOWA-MISSOURI
00:00:52.21\00:00:54.18
CONFERENCE. ONE OF THE
MINISTRIES THAT WE'RE DEVELOPING
IN THE IOWA-MISSOURI CONFERENCE
00:00:54.22\00:00:59.29
IS MINISTRY TO REFUGEES.
00:01:01.69\00:01:03.66
AS WE'VE BEEN DEVELOPING THAT,
GOSPEL OUTREACH ASKED IF I WOULD
00:01:03.69\00:01:05.66
COME AND MAKE A PRESENTATION
TO THEIR BOARD ON REFUGEE
00:01:05.69\00:01:07.66
MINISTRIES. I DID THAT AND FROM
THERE THEY'VE ASKED US TO SPEAK
00:01:07.66\00:01:12.73
WITH YOU. OH WONDERFUL.
00:01:15.64\00:01:21.54
REFUGEES, THIS WORLD HAS
NO SHORTAGE RIGHT NOW DOES IT.
00:01:21.58\00:01:25.05
PROBABLY WE HAVE THE LARGEST
NUMBER OF DISPLACED PEOPLE RIGHT
00:01:25.08\00:01:30.99
NOW THAN WE'VE EVER
HAD ON PLANET EARTH.
00:01:31.02\00:01:33.42
OF COURSE, IT KIND OF GROWS WITH
OUR WORLD POPULATION IN A SENSE.
00:01:33.46\00:01:38.83
WORLD POPULATION, LACK OF
RESOURCES AND PERSECUTION.
00:01:38.86\00:01:42.36
SO WHEN YOUR CONFERENCE TOOK
ON THIS MINISTRY HOW DID THAT
00:01:42.40\00:01:47.47
BEGIN? TELL US THE STORY?
00:01:51.74\00:01:53.07
WE SHOULD HAVE STARTED IT A LONG
TIME AGO BUT IF YOU THINK OF
00:01:53.11\00:01:57.11
REFUGEE MINISTRIES OR REFUGEE
WORK IN THE UNITED STATES THE
TWO CITIES THAT WOULD
00:01:57.15\00:02:03.39
PROBABLY COME MOST TO YOUR MIND
WOULD BE NEW YORK, SAN FRANCISCO
00:02:03.42\00:02:08.42
OR LOS ANGELES AS
ENTRY POINTS FOR REFUGEES.
00:02:08.46\00:02:11.83
BECAUSE OF TRANSPORTATION
THAT'S NO LONGER TRUE.
00:02:11.86\00:02:15.43
THE NUMBER ONE ENTERING POINTS
FOR REFUGEES NOW IS THE MIDWEST.
00:02:15.46\00:02:21.60
THE REASON BEING IS BECAUSE
WHEN A REFUGEE RECEIVES REFUGEE
00:02:21.64\00:02:27.14
STATUS FROM THE UN AND THEY CAN
IMMIGRATE TO A RECEIVING
COUNTRY, THE UNITED STATES
00:02:27.18\00:02:33.25
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GIVES
FOUR MONTHS OF HOUSING, MEDICAL,
00:02:33.28\00:02:38.35
SCHOOLING, THAT TYPE OF THING
AND HOUSING AND ALL OF THAT IS
CHEAPER IN THE MIDWEST SO THE
00:02:40.89\00:02:46.76
REFUGEES ARE
BEING LOCATED THERE.
00:02:46.80\00:02:48.70
SO YOU'RE INITIAL MINISTRY THEN
IS WITH THE REFUGEES WHO HAVE
00:02:48.73\00:02:54.54
BEEN PLACED IN THE
UNITED STATES IN MID-AMERICA.
00:02:54.57\00:02:56.54
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:02:56.57\00:02:58.04
AND WHAT HAPPENED IS, AS WE
BEGAN TO MEET REFUGEES IN OUR
CONFERENCE THE LORD
00:02:58.07\00:03:04.11
SPOKE TO OUR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
AND OUR CONSTITUENTS THAT THERE
00:03:04.15\00:03:08.85
WAS SOMETHING THAT WE NEEDED
TO DO TO HELP THESE PEOPLE TO BE
00:03:08.88\00:03:12.19
THEIR FRIENDS.
00:03:12.22\00:03:13.69
COUPLED TO THAT THEN WE DO A LOT
OF OVERSEAS MISSION WORK WITH
00:03:13.72\00:03:19.46
OUR TEENAGERS FROM OUR ACADEMY.
00:03:19.49\00:03:21.36
WE GO TO COUNTRIES
WHERE THERE ARE REFUGEE CAMPS.
00:03:21.40\00:03:25.67
IN CONJUNCTION WITH THAT I BEGAN
TO THEN VISIT THE REFUGEE CAMPS
00:03:25.70\00:03:30.17
TO SEE WHAT THEIR
CONDITIONS WERE FIRST HAND.
00:03:30.21\00:03:32.61
OH MY, SO YOU THEN HAVE A
FIRST-HAND KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT
00:03:32.64\00:03:38.31
THESE PEOPLE ARE COMING FROM
WHEN THEY REACH YOUR CONFERENCE
00:03:38.35\00:03:41.65
HERE. THAT'S RIGHT.
00:03:41.68\00:03:43.15
SO I'M JUST NOW RETURNING FROM A
MONTH BEING OUT OF THE
CONFERENCE TO NEPAL,
00:03:43.18\00:03:47.76
LEBANON AND IN INDIA AND DURING
THE COURSE OF THAT I WAS ABLE TO
00:03:51.16\00:03:56.63
MAKE IT TO THE HIMALAYAS AND THE
TIBETAN BORDER WITH NEPAL TO SEE
00:03:56.67\00:04:01.00
THE POTENTIAL WORK THERE AND TO
MAKE IT INTO THREE REFUGEE CAMPS
IN NEPAL AND UNOFFICIAL
00:04:01.04\00:04:06.11
SYRIAN REFUGEE CAMPS IN LEBANON.
00:04:08.58\00:04:11.25
OH WOW.
00:04:11.28\00:04:12.21
SO SOME OF THESE
REFUGEES GO BACK A LONG WAYS.
00:04:12.25\00:04:17.19
THERE'S NO WAR CURRENTLY I DON'T
THINK IN THE NEPAL, INDIA, TIBET
00:04:17.22\00:04:23.69
BORDER BUT THERE
WERE WARS IN THE PAST.
00:04:23.73\00:04:25.03
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:04:25.06\00:04:26.49
FOR A LONG TIME THE NUMBER ONE
IMMIGRANT REFUGEE GROUP TO THE
00:04:26.53\00:04:32.23
UNITED STATES HAS BEEN THE
NEPALESE, BHUTANESE REFUGEES.
00:04:32.27\00:04:35.74
THEIR STORY GOES
BACK ABOUT 100 YEARS.
00:04:35.77\00:04:39.34
BHUTAN ASKED NEPAL IF PEOPLE
COULD COME TO THEIR COUNTRY FOR
00:04:39.37\00:04:44.48
LABOR. THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS
OF NEPALESE WENT TO BHUTAN.
00:04:44.51\00:04:49.45
THEY LIVED THEIR LIVES THERE.
00:04:49.48\00:04:52.15
BUT ABOUT 30 YEARS AGO THE
BHUTAN GOVERNMENT FELT LIKE THEY
00:04:52.19\00:04:58.56
HAD SO MANY HERITAGE NEPALESE
THERE THAT THEY MIGHT LOSE THE
IDENTITY OF THEIR COUNTRY,
00:04:58.59\00:05:04.23
SO 450 THOUSAND, 30 YEARS
AGO, WERE FORCED TO LEAVE.
00:05:04.27\00:05:09.67
THEY WALKED FROM
BHUTAN BACK TO NEPAL.
00:05:09.70\00:05:12.47
WHEN THEY REACHED THE BORDER
OF NEPAL THE NEPALESE GOVERNMENT
00:05:12.51\00:05:16.91
SAID THEY COULDN'T COME IN
BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT NEPALESE
00:05:16.95\00:05:21.38
THEY WERE BHUTANESE.
00:05:21.42\00:05:22.78
THE UN FORMED FIVE REFUGEE CAMPS
AND FOR 30 YEARS THOSE PEOPLE
00:05:22.82\00:05:27.46
HAVE BEEN LIVING
IN THE REFUGEE CAMPS.
00:05:27.49\00:05:29.66
RIGHT NOW THE UNITED NATIONS
INTENT IS TO CLOSE THOSE REFUGEE
00:05:29.69\00:05:34.66
CAMPS SO THEY'RE DOWN TO THREE
BUT THERE'S 185 THOUSAND
REFUGEES LEFT AND THEY'RE
00:05:34.73\00:05:39.87
STILL LOOKING FOR
COUNTRIES TO SEND THEM TO.
00:05:39.90\00:05:41.87
THE MAJORITY OF THOSE ARE GOING
TO COME TO THE UNITED STATES.
00:05:41.90\00:05:44.31
REALLY.
00:05:44.34\00:05:45.31
YES.
00:05:45.34\00:05:46.34
AND ARE SOME OF THEM
THERE WITHIN YOUR CONFERENCE?
00:05:46.37\00:05:48.34
IN KANSAS CITY WE HAVE
FOUR THOUSAND TO FIVE THOUSAND.
00:05:48.38\00:05:53.62
IN ST. LOUIS WE HAVE
ABOUT THREE THOUSAND.
00:05:53.65\00:05:57.49
SO THE REFUGEES THAT WE BEGAN
WORKING WITH WERE BHUTANESE
00:05:57.52\00:06:02.42
REFUGEES FROM THE CAMPS.
00:06:02.46\00:06:03.53
THEY WERE IN KANSAS CITY.
00:06:03.56\00:06:06.39
WHEN WE STARTED WORKING WITH
THEM WE BEGAN TO REALIZE THAT
00:06:06.43\00:06:10.80
THEY STILL HAD FAMILY
BACK IN THOSE REFUGEE CAMPS.
00:06:10.83\00:06:15.04
SO WHAT I DID WAS GO TO
THE CHURCH WHERE SOME OF THE
00:06:15.07\00:06:20.18
NEPALESE ARE CHRISTIAN, NOT
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST BUT
CHRISTIAN, AND GOT TO KNOW THEM,
00:06:20.21\00:06:26.82
BEGAN TO TAKE PICTURES OF THEM
AND I WOULD TAKE THEIR FAMILY
00:06:26.85\00:06:31.19
PICTURE, THEIR NAME AND
WHO THEIR RELATIVE WAS IN THE
00:06:31.22\00:06:36.52
REFUGEE CAMP. THEN JUST MADE IT
A SUBJECT OF PRAYER, WHEN TO THE
00:06:36.56\00:06:41.80
REFUGEE CAMPS AND FOUND SOMEBODY
WHO WOULD HELP US AND WE FOUND
EVERY FAMILY AND GAVE THEM A
00:06:41.83\00:06:46.87
PICTURE OF THEIR
FAMILIES BACK IN THE U.S.
00:06:46.90\00:06:48.97
THERE WAS MUCH JOY, TEARS.
00:06:49.00\00:06:50.47
I BET THERE WAS.
00:06:50.51\00:06:51.47
IT WAS REALLY AMAZING.
00:06:51.51\00:06:52.57
OH MY.
00:06:52.61\00:06:53.94
BEING ETHNIC NEPALESE ARE
THEY BASICALLY SPEAKING NEPALESE
00:06:53.98\00:06:56.48
DIALECTS? THEY
CAN SPEAK NEPALESE.
00:06:56.51\00:06:57.88
SOME SPEAK FAIRLY GOOD ENGLISH
AND THE LANGUAGE THAT THEY USE
00:06:57.91\00:07:02.65
IN BHUTAN. YES, OH.
00:07:07.46\00:07:10.53
WELL THAT'S FASCINATING.
00:07:10.56\00:07:15.13
SO YOU HAVE PEOPLE NOW WHO ARE
MINISTERING TO THESE REFUGEES AS
00:07:15.16\00:07:20.24
THEY TRY TO SETTLE
IN THE UNITED STATES.
00:07:22.37\00:07:24.31
FOUR MONTHS IS NOT A LONG TIME.
00:07:24.34\00:07:26.57
NO, AND REALLY THE FOUR MONTHS
DOESN'T NECESSARILY GET THEM
00:07:26.61\00:07:31.85
EMPLOYMENT. NO.
00:07:31.88\00:07:33.21
BUT IT DOES GIVE TIME FOR
SOMEBODY TO HELP THEM NAVIGATE
00:07:33.25\00:07:38.09
THROUGH THE SOCIAL SERVICES.
00:07:38.12\00:07:39.52
SO THEY HAVE FOUR MONTHS TO GET
OFF FEDERAL SOCIAL SERVICES ONTO
00:07:39.55\00:07:45.43
A LOCAL STATE SOCIAL SERVICES.
00:07:45.46\00:07:47.03
OK.
00:07:47.10\00:07:48.30
AND TO HELP THEM CONNECT TO JOB
TRAINING AND JOB OPPORTUNITIES.
00:07:48.33\00:07:53.13
HOW IS THIS AFFECTING THE LOCAL
MEMBERS OF ADVENTIST
CONGREGATIONS WHO ARE
00:07:53.17\00:07:59.11
GETTING INVOLVED WITH THAT?
00:07:59.14\00:08:01.21
WELL, I CAN TELL YOU A
COUPLE OF STORIES THAT GIVE AN
00:08:01.24\00:08:06.15
ILLUSTRATION.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR.
00:08:06.18\00:08:08.08
WE HAVE OUR COLUMBIA
CHURCH IN COLUMBIA, MISSOURI.
00:08:08.12\00:08:11.22
AND THEY DECIDED THAT THEY WERE
GOING TO DO THEIR VACATION BIBLE
00:08:11.25\00:08:14.42
SCHOOL DIFFERENTLY
THIS LAST YEAR THAN BEFORE.
00:08:14.46\00:08:16.66
THEY DIDN'T DO IT
OUT OF THE CHURCH.
00:08:16.69\00:08:18.76
THEY WENT TO THE AREA OF
COLUMBIA WHERE IT WOULD BE A
PART THAT YOU WOULDN'T
00:08:18.79\00:08:25.37
GO TO.
00:08:25.40\00:08:26.37
OK.
00:08:26.40\00:08:27.64
BECAUSE THEY DECIDED THAT'S
WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE THAT NEED
00:08:27.67\00:08:29.44
IT. FOR INSTANCE THE DAY BEFORE
THE VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL WAS TO
00:08:29.47\00:08:33.34
START THE PASTOR CALLED ME AND
SAID THERE HAD JUST BEEN A
SHOOTING IN THAT PART,
00:08:33.38\00:08:37.51
SOMEBODY HAS BEEN
KILLED, SHOULD WE STILL GO?
00:08:37.55\00:08:39.91
WE PRAYED IT
THROUGH AND DECIDED YES.
00:08:39.95\00:08:41.98
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE
FOR, THAT'S WHERE THE GOSPEL IS
00:08:42.02\00:08:45.29
NEEDED. THAT'S RIGHT.
00:08:45.32\00:08:46.79
SO THEY DID THEIR VACATION BIBLE
SCHOOL IN THAT PART AND MET AN
00:08:46.82\00:08:52.66
IRAQI FAMILY WHO ARE KURDS.
00:08:52.69\00:08:54.00
AND WE HEAR ABOUT THE
KURDS AND WAR GOING ON.
00:08:54.00\00:08:56.97
ALMOST EVERY DAY YOU
HEAR THAT IN THE NEWS.
00:08:57.00\00:09:00.04
THEY MET THIS KURDISH
FAMILY THAT HAS FIVE CHILDREN.
00:09:00.07\00:09:04.67
IN OUR CONFERENCE WE RAISED SOME
MONIES AND AS LONG AS THE MONIES
00:09:04.71\00:09:09.31
LAST IF A REFUGEE FAMILY WANTS
TO SEND THEIR CHILDREN TO OUR
CHURCH SCHOOL WE PROVIDE
00:09:09.34\00:09:15.25
THE FIRST YEAR FOR FREE SO THAT
THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
00:09:15.28\00:09:19.69
HAVE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT.
00:09:19.72\00:09:20.69
WOW.
00:09:20.72\00:09:22.12
SO AS THEY GOT TO KNOW THIS
KURDISH FAMILY AND WERE TALKING
00:09:22.16\00:09:25.39
WITH THEM THE FAMILY BECAME
VERY INTERESTED IN CHRISTIANITY.
00:09:25.43\00:09:29.10
THEY HAVE BEEN
SHARING THE GOSPEL WITH THEM.
00:09:29.13\00:09:31.60
THE KURDS ARE ANIMISTS.
00:09:31.63\00:09:34.34
ANIMISTS BELIEVE MUCH IN
THE SPIRIT WORLD AND THE WAY THE
00:09:34.37\00:09:41.18
SPIRIT WORLD COMMUNICATES TO
THE PHYSICAL WORLD IS PRIMARILY
00:09:41.21\00:09:45.35
THROUGH DREAMS. SO DREAMS
ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO THEM.
00:09:45.38\00:09:47.62
I GOT A FIRST-HAND TESTIMONY
OF THE COLUMBIA MEMBERS WHO ARE
00:09:47.65\00:09:52.75
WORKING WITH THIS FAMILY.
00:09:52.79\00:09:54.02
THEY CALLED ME
AND WERE SO EXCITED.
00:09:54.06\00:09:56.16
THEY SAID WE STARTED
BIBLE STUDIES WITH THEM.
00:09:56.19\00:09:58.99
WHEN WE WENT TO THE HOME
THE FATHER WAS SAYING THROUGH
00:09:59.03\00:10:04.93
INTERPRETERS TO THE MOTHER,
YOU'VE GOT TO TELL THEM YOUR
00:10:04.97\00:10:08.64
DREAM. SO SHE SAID HER DREAM WAS
THAT SHE WAS BACK IN IRAQ IN HER
00:10:08.67\00:10:13.71
HOUSE. ISIS MILITIA WAS COMING
TO THE HOUSE AND SHE KNEW THEY
HAD WAITED TOO LATE
00:10:13.74\00:10:18.08
AND THEY WERE
GOING TO BE KILLED.
00:10:18.11\00:10:20.08
SHE SAID SHE WAS SO SCARED
WHEN A MAN WAS STANDING BY HER.
00:10:20.12\00:10:24.25
HE WAS THE WHITEST
MAN SHE HAD EVER SEEN.
00:10:24.29\00:10:27.02
HE HAD WHITE CLOTHES,
WHITE HAIR, WHITE BEARD.
00:10:27.06\00:10:32.03
SHE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE
THAT AND THE MAN JUST SAID TO
00:10:32.06\00:10:35.76
HER DON'T BE AFRAID.
00:10:35.80\00:10:36.97
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO HURT YOU.
00:10:37.00\00:10:38.27
I'M GOING TO COVER YOU WITH
A CLOAK AND THEY WILL NEVER SEE
00:10:38.30\00:10:42.40
YOU. SHE WAS SO GRATEFUL SHE
REACHED OUT TO TAKE HIS HANDS TO
00:10:42.44\00:10:46.44
KISS HIS HANDS. WHEN SHE DID
THAT SHE SAID THERE WAS A MARK
ON THE PALM OF HIS HAND.
00:10:46.47\00:10:51.08
THEN SHE TURNED HIS HAND OVER
AND THERE WAS A MARK ON THE BACK
00:10:51.11\00:10:54.55
OF HIS HAND AND SHE
SAID HOW DID YOU GET THAT.
00:10:54.58\00:10:57.02
HIS RESPONSE WAS MY
FATHER GAVE IT TO ME.
00:10:57.05\00:10:59.39
THEN SHE SAID AT
THAT MOMENT I WOKE UP.
00:10:59.42\00:11:02.99
THEN THE QUESTION WAS COULD
YOU TELL US WHO THAT MAN IS?
00:11:03.02\00:11:08.20
THE CHURCH MEMBERS IN COLUMBIA
TOLD ME, WE FEEL LIKE DANIEL
00:11:08.23\00:11:13.30
THAT THERE'S A DREAM AND WE CAN
TURN RIGHT TO THE BOOK OF
REVELATION AND GIVE THE
00:11:15.47\00:11:19.54
DESCRIPTION OF JESUS.
00:11:19.57\00:11:21.08
OH THANK YOU
DEAN FOR SHARING THAT.
00:11:21.11\00:11:23.35
THAT'S A STORY THAT NOBODY IS
GOING TO HEAR INCLUDING ME TODAY
00:11:23.38\00:11:29.98
WITHOUT A CHILL RUNNING
THROUGH US THAT GOD IS AT WORK.
00:11:30.02\00:11:32.95
I JUST WANT TO TURN TO THOSE OF
YOU WHO ARE WATCHING THIS AND I
00:11:32.99\00:11:36.93
WANT TO GIVE
YOU THAT INVITATION.
00:11:36.96\00:11:38.39
TWO THINGS: I WANT YOU TO LOOK
ON YOUR SCREEN FIND THE
REFERENCES, FIND THE
00:11:38.43\00:11:43.57
PHONE NUMBERS, THE
EMAIL ADDRESS, THE WEBSITES.
00:11:43.60\00:11:47.57
LISTEN TO GOD'S VOICE.
00:11:47.60\00:11:49.07
MAYBE IN A DREAM TO YOU YOU WILL
FEEL COMPELLED TO BECOME A PART
00:11:49.10\00:11:54.81
FINANCIALLY WITH WHAT
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS DOING.
00:11:54.84\00:11:56.98
THIS IS ALL DONE ON DONATIONS.
00:11:57.01\00:11:58.48
THERE ARE NO OFFERINGS COLLECTED
FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH PER SE.
00:11:58.51\00:12:03.25
CHURCHES DON'T HAVE THAT
ON THEIR REGULAR CALENDAR.
00:12:03.28\00:12:06.35
THIS IS YOU WHO GIVE.
00:12:06.39\00:12:08.76
BUT DON'T FORGET, AS YOU GIVE TO
AN ADVENTURE LIKE THIS YOU COULD
00:12:08.79\00:12:15.56
BE DOING SOMETHING
IN YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY.
00:12:15.60\00:12:18.70
YOU HAVE A CIRCLE OF INFLUENCE.
00:12:18.73\00:12:20.67
THERE MAY BE REFUGEES BEING
PLACED IN A NEW ENVIRONMENT NEAR
00:12:20.70\00:12:26.68
YOU. I DON'T KNOW BUT GOD HAS A
PLAN FOR EACH OF US AND I JUST
PRAY THAT YOU WILL BE
00:12:26.71\00:12:31.78
THE SPARK IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
FOR SOMETHING THAT GOD HAS IN
00:12:34.05\00:12:38.12
MIND. I NEED TO SPREAD
THE GOSPEL HERE AT HOME.
00:12:38.15\00:12:44.26
WHERE IS THE
10/40 WINDOW ANYWAY?
00:12:44.29\00:12:47.96
THOSE PEOPLE LIVE TOO FAR AWAY.
00:12:47.96\00:12:50.53
SOMEONE ELSE CAN
TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS.
00:12:50.57\00:12:53.17
MAYBE THEY COULD JUST WATCH TV.
00:12:53.20\00:12:56.04
NEARLY THREE
BILLION PEOPLE TO REACH.
00:12:56.07\00:12:58.91
MY HEAD HURTS.
00:12:58.94\00:13:00.44
THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO.
00:13:00.48\00:13:02.81
I GIVE UP.
00:13:02.84\00:13:04.28
WHAT'S THE POINT OF TRYING?
00:13:04.31\00:13:06.68
I CAN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:13:06.72\00:13:09.05
ACTUALLY YOU CAN
MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:13:09.08\00:13:11.95
AND JESUS ASKED YOU
TO GO TO ALL THE WORLD.
00:13:11.99\00:13:16.76
WHERE?
00:13:16.79\00:13:17.76
ALL THE WORLD.
00:13:17.79\00:13:18.93
HOW CAN I GO, I
HAVE COMMITMENTS.
00:13:18.96\00:13:21.10
YOU CAN PRAY.
00:13:21.13\00:13:23.20
YOU CAN VOLUNTEER YOUR TALENTS.
00:13:23.23\00:13:28.10
YOU CAN TELL OTHERS.
00:13:28.14\00:13:32.14
YOU CAN GIVE MONEY TO
SPONSOR BIBLE WORKERS.
00:13:32.17\00:13:34.98
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE
SEARCHING FOR HOPE AND MEANING.
00:13:35.01\00:13:37.91
BUT THEY WON'T
FIND IT WITHOUT YOU.
00:13:37.95\00:13:40.08
BE THE SPARK.
00:13:40.12\00:13:41.58
LIGHT THE FIRE.
00:13:41.62\00:13:43.55
FINISH THE WORK.
00:13:43.59\00:13:46.25
FINISH THE WORK.
00:13:46.29\00:13:48.96
BE THE SPARK.
00:13:48.99\00:13:51.76
DEAN, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE
TRYING TO FINISH THE WORK RIGHT
00:13:51.79\00:13:55.13
THERE IN YOUR CONFERENCE.
00:13:55.16\00:13:56.30
WELL IT'S AMAZING, OUR GOAL.
00:13:56.33\00:13:58.83
AND SO WE'RE SO GRATEFUL FOR
GOSPEL OUTREACH TO INVITE US TO
00:13:58.87\00:14:03.07
SHARE WITH THEM BECAUSE OUR GOAL
IS THAT MOST REFUGEES ARE COMING
FROM COUNTRIES THAT
00:14:03.10\00:14:08.18
WE COULD NOT GO
FREELY TO PREACH IN.
00:14:10.11\00:14:12.68
BUT WE CAN REACH THESE
PEOPLE IN REFUGEE CAMPS.
00:14:12.71\00:14:18.12
SO THE GOAL IS IF WE COULD
HAVE BIBLE WORKERS WORKING THE
00:14:18.15\00:14:23.32
REFUGEE CAMPS, TO PEOPLE WHO ARE
GOING TO IMMIGRATE TO FREE
COUNTRIES, INTRODUCE THEM
00:14:23.36\00:14:28.16
TO JESUS.
00:14:28.20\00:14:29.43
SOME WILL GIVE THEIR HEARTS
TO JESUS THERE, SOME WILL GIVE
00:14:29.46\00:14:33.20
THEIR HEARTS TO JESUS
WHEN THEY GET TO THE U.S.
00:14:33.23\00:14:36.24
OR THE OTHER COUNTRY.
00:14:36.27\00:14:38.24
IF WE COULD ORGANIZE ENOUGH.
00:14:38.27\00:14:41.11
FOR INSTANCE THE BHUTANESE
REFUGEE CAMPS, IF I GO THERE AND
00:14:41.14\00:14:46.25
TALK WITH PEOPLE THEY CAN TELL
ME A YEAR IN ADVANCE THE DAY AND
THE CITY THAT THEY ARE GOING
00:14:46.28\00:14:52.52
TO IMMIGRATE TO SO THEY CAN
SAY SIX MONTHS, HOUSTON, TEXAS.
00:14:52.55\00:14:58.09
WOW.
00:14:58.13\00:14:59.39
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF IN
THE NORTH AMERICAN DIVISION WE
00:14:59.43\00:15:02.63
ORGANIZED ENOUGH THAT IF THERE
WERE GOSPEL OUTREACH BIBLE
WORKERS IN THE REFUGEE
00:15:02.66\00:15:07.60
CAMP, SEND THE INFORMATION TO US
IN NORTH AMERICAN THAT IT WOULD
00:15:07.64\00:15:14.24
BE A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
FAMILY THAT WOULD MEET THEM AT
00:15:14.28\00:15:19.01
THE AIRPORT AND BE THE FIRST
CONTACT THESE PEOPLE WOULD HAVE
IN HELPING THEM TO GET
00:15:19.05\00:15:22.72
RESETTLED.
00:15:22.75\00:15:24.25
IF THEY BECOME CHRISTIANS AND
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS
IMMEDIATELY THEY WILL LET
00:15:24.29\00:15:30.76
THE REST OF THEIR FAMILIES KNOW
BACK IN THE REFUGEE CAMPS AND
00:15:30.79\00:15:35.53
BACK IN BHUTAN. SO WE CAN CARRY
THE GOSPEL TO THE WORLD IF WE
REACH THE REFUGEES AMONG US AND
00:15:35.56\00:15:40.60
THEY THEMSELVES
WILL TELL THEIR FAMILIES.
00:15:43.07\00:15:45.61
YOU SOUND EXCITED ABOUT THIS.
00:15:45.64\00:15:46.91
OH I AM VERY MUCH SO.
00:15:46.94\00:15:49.08
WE HAVE A HUGE OPPORTUNITY
ON THE TIBETAN BORDER.
00:15:49.11\00:15:53.45
TIBET IS A CLOSED COUNTRY.
00:15:53.48\00:15:55.48
IT'S AN OCCUPIED COUNTRY.
00:15:55.52\00:15:57.12
IF ANYBODY HAS READ THE
HISTORY IT HAS BEEN VERY HARSH.
00:15:57.15\00:16:01.76
BUT ON THE NEPALESE SIDE OF THE
TIBETAN BORDER IT IS POSSIBLE TO
00:16:01.79\00:16:06.86
HAVE GOSPEL WORK AND WHEN I WENT
THERE WHAT I SAW FIRST HAND WAS
THAT TIBETANS WHO ARE
00:16:09.60\00:16:14.67
LIVING IN NEPAL CAN FREELY
CROSS THE TIBETAN BORDER WITH NO
00:16:17.74\00:16:22.81
SEARCHING, NO QUESTIONING.
00:16:24.85\00:16:25.95
THEY CAN GO VISIT
THEIR FAMILIES IN TIBET.
00:16:25.98\00:16:28.48
SO?
00:16:28.52\00:16:29.48
AH.
00:16:29.52\00:16:30.79
IF WE COULD ESTABLISH A CHURCH,
YOU SEE EXACTLY WHAT I'M SAYING.
00:16:30.82\00:16:32.92
IF WE COULD ESTABLISH A
CHURCH THERE AND PEOPLE BECOME
00:16:32.95\00:16:37.73
CHRISTIANS, WHEN THEY GO VISIT
THEIR FAMILY IN TIBET WE CAN
CARRY THE GOSPEL TO TIBET FROM
00:16:37.76\00:16:44.13
THE NEPALESE SIDE.
00:16:44.17\00:16:46.30
THAT IS AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY.
00:16:46.33\00:16:49.17
IT IS.
00:16:49.20\00:16:50.47
SO YOU'RE DREAMING OF WORKING
WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH TO PUT
00:16:50.51\00:16:56.48
WORKERS WHO KNOW THOSE NATIVE
LANGUAGES, KNOW THOSE CULTURES,
00:16:56.51\00:17:00.75
INTO THE BORDER LAND OF TIBET
AND NEPAL, THE LAST REMAINING
REFUGEE CAMPS FOR THESE
00:17:00.78\00:17:05.82
BHUTANESE NEPALESE.
00:17:07.92\00:17:09.36
AND IT SOUNDS MAYBE YOU'RE
EVEN THINKING OF-THIS FALL WE'RE
00:17:09.39\00:17:15.53
GOING TO-GOSPEL OUTREACH
HAS DECIDED TO TAKE THIS ON AS A
00:17:15.56\00:17:18.73
MINISTRY. OK.
00:17:18.77\00:17:19.73
THEY VOTED THAT THIS WEEK.
00:17:19.77\00:17:21.17
SO THE FIRST CAMPS WE'RE GOING
TO GO TO NOW ON BEHALF OF GOSPEL
00:17:21.20\00:17:26.17
OUTREACH ARE
GOING TO BE IN TURKEY.
00:17:26.21\00:17:27.64
AND THIS FALL WE'RE GOING TO GO
VISIT ORGANIZED SYRIAN REFUGEE
00:17:27.68\00:17:32.41
CAMPS, SEE HOW WE CAN HAVE
PEOPLE, BIBLE WORKERS WORK IN
00:17:32.45\00:17:37.69
THOSE CAMPS. WHAT WOULD IT BE IF
A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER WORKING
00:17:37.72\00:17:43.66
IN A REFUGEE CAMP TOLD US IN
AMERICA THESE PEOPLE ARE COMING
00:17:43.69\00:17:47.30
TO YOUR COUNTRY. WE
MEET THEM AT THE AIRPORT.
00:17:47.30\00:17:49.16
WE BEFRIEND THEM.
00:17:49.20\00:17:50.97
THEY GIVE THEIR
HEARTS TO CHRIST.
00:17:51.00\00:17:53.60
THEY WANT TO CONTACT THEIR
FAMILIES BACK IN THEIR HOME
00:17:53.64\00:17:58.37
COUNTRIES AND WE COULD NOTIFY A
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER IN THE
HOME COUNTRY TO GO VISIT
00:17:58.41\00:18:03.14
THEIR FAMILY TO
GIVE AN INVITATION.
00:18:03.18\00:18:05.15
THIS BECOMES EXCITING.
00:18:05.18\00:18:06.35
IT DOES.
00:18:06.38\00:18:07.35
IT BECOMES EXCITING.
00:18:07.38\00:18:10.12
YOU TOLD THAT STORY ABOUT THE
DREAM THAT CAME TO ONE WHO
COMMUNICATED THAT WITH
00:18:10.15\00:18:15.22
A MEMBER OF THE COLUMBIA CHURCH.
00:18:17.29\00:18:19.26
DO YOU HAVE ANY
OTHER STORIES LIKE THAT?
00:18:19.29\00:18:21.43
WELL WE HAVE I THINK A
REALLY POWERFUL STORY OF A KAREN
00:18:21.46\00:18:26.53
REFUGEE IN THE DES MOINES AREA.
00:18:29.54\00:18:30.51
WE HAVE SEVERAL
THOUSAND KARENS .
00:18:30.54\00:18:32.91
THAT'S FROM MYANMAR, OLD BURMA.
00:18:32.94\00:18:34.38
YES.
00:18:34.41\00:18:35.78
AND THEY'VE HAD TO FLEE FROM
MYANMAR TO THAILAND TO REFUGEE
00:18:35.81\00:18:37.38
CAMPS, THEN FROM
THAILAND IMMIGRANTS.
00:18:37.41\00:18:38.68
WE HAVE A YOUNG WORKER THERE
WHO'S NAME IS STEPHEN, STEPHEN
00:18:38.71\00:18:43.49
----. AND WHAT HAS REALLY
EXCITED US IS AS WE GOT TO KNOW
00:18:52.43\00:18:59.00
STEPHEN AND THEN HIRED HIM AS A
WORKER TO WORK WITH THE KARENS
HIS GRANDFATHER WAS ERIC B.
00:18:59.03\00:19:03.27
HARE'S FIRST CONVERT
IN THE JUNGLE SCHOOL.
00:19:03.30\00:19:08.38
SO WE JUST FEEL LIKE HOW HAS
GOD LED THAT THIS YOUNG MAN'S
00:19:11.75\00:19:18.42
HERITAGE, HIS GRANDFATHER WAS
THE FIRST ONE TO RESPOND TO ERIC
00:19:18.45\00:19:21.52
B. HARE.
00:19:21.56\00:19:22.99
NOW HE'S A HIRED WORKER IN THE
UNITED STATES WORKING FOR THE
00:19:23.02\00:19:26.90
KAREN PEOPLE. WAS THAT A HIRE
OUT OF YOUR CONFERENCE OR A HIRE
OUT OF GOSPEL OUTREACH?
00:19:26.93\00:19:31.43
IT WAS A HIRE OUT
OF OUR CONFERENCE.
00:19:31.47\00:19:33.44
HE WAS IN OUR CONFERENCE AND AS
WE BEGAN TO DEVELOP REFUGEE WORK
00:19:33.47\00:19:38.91
THE NORTH AMERICAN DIVISION
HELPED US LOCATE HIM AND THEN WE
ASKED HIM IF HE WOULD WORK
00:19:38.94\00:19:44.98
IN MINISTRY.
00:19:45.01\00:19:46.41
HE HAS BEEN DOING IT.
00:19:46.45\00:19:47.82
YOU HAVE A LOT IN
COMMON WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:19:47.85\00:19:50.19
WE DO.
00:19:50.22\00:19:51.25
UNBELIEVABLE.
00:19:51.29\00:19:52.35
I'M JUST AMAZED
AT WHAT I'M SEEING.
00:19:52.39\00:19:55.56
SO I AM VERY
GRATEFUL TO THIS MINISTRY.
00:19:55.59\00:19:57.99
SO THERE IS A YOUNG BOY THAT
HE HAS WORKED WITH, A REFUGEE.
00:19:58.03\00:20:01.93
HIS NAME IS DA TU.
00:20:01.96\00:20:03.50
DA  TU WAS 12 AND WE GAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY FOR HIM TO BE ABLE
00:20:03.53\00:20:10.11
TO GO TO CHURCH
SCHOOL AND HE TOOK IT.
00:20:10.14\00:20:11.57
WHEN HE WENT TO OUR LOCAL CHURCH
SCHOOL HIS HEART BEGAN TO BURN
00:20:11.61\00:20:15.81
WITHIN HIM THAT HE WANTED TO
SHARE JESUS WITH SOMEBODY SO HE
BEGAN TO PRAY EVERY DAY
00:20:15.84\00:20:21.12
THAT JESUS WOULD LEAD HIM
TO SOMEBODY THAT HE COULD SHARE
00:20:21.15\00:20:26.05
WITH. HE BEFRIENDED ANOTHER
KAREN BOY WHO LIVED NEXT TO THEM
00:20:26.09\00:20:31.13
IN AN APARTMENT
WHO WAS A BUDDHIST.
00:20:33.19\00:20:34.23
THEY BECAME PLAYMATES.
00:20:34.30\00:20:35.70
HE WAS PRAYING HELP ME TO SHARE
JESUS TO MY FRIEND AND THEN HAD
00:20:35.73\00:20:40.90
THE COURAGE TO TELL THIS YOUNG
BUDDHIST BOY ABOUT JESUS AND HE
00:20:43.10\00:20:48.24
JUST SIMPLY SAID JESUS IS COMING
AGAIN AND HE'S GOT A NEW HOME
AND EVERYBODY WHO BELIEVES IN
00:20:48.28\00:20:55.02
HIM IS GOING TO GET THE NEW HOME
AND THOSE WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN
00:20:55.05\00:20:59.05
HIM AREN'T GOING TO GET THE NEW
HOME AND INVITED HIM TO GIVE HIS
00:20:59.09\00:21:02.82
HEART TO JESUS.
00:21:02.86\00:21:03.83
A 12 YEAR-OLD TESTIMONY.
00:21:03.86\00:21:04.83
THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
00:21:04.86\00:21:07.23
THIS WAS IN THE U.S.
00:21:07.30\00:21:09.26
OR-NO THIS WAS
IN DES MOINES, IOWA.
00:21:09.30\00:21:12.20
THIS TOOK PLACE RIGHT THERE IN
DES MOINES, IOWA, BOTH OF THEM
00:21:12.23\00:21:15.94
REFUGEE FAMILIES.
00:21:15.97\00:21:16.94
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:21:16.97\00:21:18.44
SO THE YOUNG BOY SAID WELL I
WANT TO GIVE MY HEART TO JESUS
00:21:18.47\00:21:21.61
SO HE WENT TO HIS MOTHER AND
SAID I'VE NOW BECOME A FOLLOWER
00:21:21.64\00:21:25.78
OF JESUS. I'M NO LONGER A
BUDDHIST, I WANT TO BE BAPTIZED.
00:21:25.81\00:21:29.38
AND THE MOTHER SAID NO,
YOU CAN'T YOU'RE A BUDDHIST.
00:21:29.42\00:21:33.42
HE ASKED THE NEXT DAY.
00:21:33.46\00:21:34.96
SHE SAID NO YOU
CAN'T YOU'RE A BUDDHIST.
00:21:34.99\00:21:37.59
HE ASKED THE NEXT DAY.
00:21:37.63\00:21:39.56
THEN HE CHANGED TACTICS.
00:21:39.59\00:21:41.43
THE NEXT DAY HE WENT AT ONE
O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING AND WOKE
00:21:41.46\00:21:46.50
HIS MOTHER UP AND SAID I'VE
BECOME A FOLLOWER OF JESUS AND I
WANT TO BE BAPTIZED.
00:21:48.77\00:21:53.48
SHE SAID NO YOU CAN'T.
00:21:53.51\00:21:55.71
NEXT MORNING ONE O'CLOCK
IN THE MORNING HE GOT UP.
00:21:55.74\00:21:58.61
IN THREE TIMES THE MOTHER
SAID YES, YOU CAN BE BAPTIZED.
00:21:58.65\00:22:02.72
THAT YOUNG MAN WAS
BAPTIZED THIS SUMMER.
00:22:02.75\00:22:06.19
THE MOMENT HE WAS
BAPTIZED, BECAUSE OF WORLD-WIDE
00:22:06.22\00:22:11.73
COMMUNICATIONS THAT FAMILY
CONTACTED THEIR FAMILY BACK IN
MYANMAR AND SAID HE HAS
00:22:11.76\00:22:16.80
BECOME A FOLLOWER
OF JESUS, A CHRISTIAN.
00:22:19.83\00:22:22.67
THAT FAMILY THEN RESPONDED
BACK, TELL US ABOUT THAT.
00:22:22.70\00:22:27.08
TELL US WHAT IT MEANS.
00:22:27.11\00:22:28.81
THAT'S THE POTENTIAL WE HAVE.
00:22:28.84\00:22:31.28
OH WOW.
00:22:31.31\00:22:32.35
AND THEY'RE SO OPEN
BECAUSE THEY NEED SO MUCH HELP.
00:22:32.38\00:22:36.38
THIS IS THE GLOBALIZATION
OF THE MESSAGE OF HOPE.
00:22:36.42\00:22:41.06
YES, THAT'S RIGHT.
00:22:41.09\00:22:42.59
WHEN I TALK ABOUT REFUGEE WORK
IN OUR CONFERENCE THE NUMBER ONE
00:22:42.62\00:22:47.46
QUESTION I HAVE IS
WELL WHAT WOULD WE DO.
00:22:47.50\00:22:48.70
I MEAN HOW DO YOU
WORK WITH THE REFUGEES.
00:22:48.73\00:22:52.93
YOU KNOW, I DO LOTS
OF REFUGEE VISITING.
00:22:52.97\00:22:55.64
I GO TO A LOT OF HOMES.
00:22:55.67\00:22:57.64
IN ALL THE VISITING I'VE
DONE I'VE NEVER HAD ONE REFUGEE
00:22:57.67\00:23:02.41
FAMILY ASK ME FOR FOOD, CLOTHES
AND THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT WAS
00:23:02.44\00:23:06.61
GOING TO HAPPEN. YES,
THAT'S EASY TO IMAGINE.
00:23:06.65\00:23:08.35
AND I WAS THINKING BOY IF THEY
ASK US FOR ALL THESE THINGS HOW
00:23:08.38\00:23:11.65
ARE WE GOING TO PROVIDE THAT.
00:23:11.69\00:23:12.65
I'VE NEVER HAD ONE ASK US THAT.
00:23:12.69\00:23:15.69
WHAT I HAVE HAD ASKED IS WOULD
YOU HAVE A PRAYER OF BLESSING ON
00:23:15.72\00:23:22.33
THIS HOME? AND THAT'S WHETHER
THEY ARE CHRISTIAN OR NOT.
00:23:22.36\00:23:25.40
AND IT'S TESTIMONY AFTER
TESTIMONY OF REFUGEES JUST
WEEPING SAYING WE HAVE NO
00:23:25.43\00:23:31.71
FRIENDS.
00:23:31.74\00:23:33.04
YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON TO COME
TO OUR HOUSE AND BE A FRIEND TO
00:23:33.07\00:23:39.08
US. AND WHAT WE HAVE TO
UNDERSTAND IS-I'M JUST GOING TO
00:23:39.11\00:23:44.39
USE TWO TERMS-MOST REFUGEES ARE
COMING FROM THIRD WORLD
COUNTRIES THAT ARE HIGH
00:23:44.42\00:23:49.16
CONTEXT SOCIETIES.
00:23:49.19\00:23:51.79
HIGH CONTEXT MEANING EVERYTHING,
EVERY DECISION MADE IS A FAMILY
00:23:51.83\00:23:56.83
AND COMMUNITY DECISION.
00:23:56.87\00:23:59.03
BUT THEY ARE BEING IMMIGRATED TO
COUNTRIES THAT ARE LOW CONTEXT
00:23:59.07\00:24:03.04
SOCIETIES LIKE THE U.S.
00:24:03.07\00:24:05.17
WHERE MOST
DECISIONS ARE INDIVIDUAL.
00:24:05.21\00:24:08.41
WE ARE ALL VERY INDEPENDENT.
00:24:08.44\00:24:09.41
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:24:09.44\00:24:10.61
AND WHEN THEY COME HERE THEY
HAVE SUCH A LOSS OF COMMUNITY.
00:24:10.65\00:24:13.75
YES.
00:24:13.78\00:24:15.18
AND THEY FEEL SO LONELY
BECAUSE THERE IS NO ONE TO MAKE
00:24:15.22\00:24:20.22
DECISIONS WITH. WHEN WE COME
ALONG SIDE AND WHAT BETTER
AVENUE THAN THE CHURCH WHICH IS
00:24:20.26\00:24:24.89
GOD'S FAMILY ON THIS EARTH, TO
BE IN THEIR HOMES, INCLUDE THEM
00:24:24.93\00:24:31.17
IN OUR FAMILY AND GIVE THEM
THE SUPPORT TO MAKE DECISIONS.
00:24:31.20\00:24:35.07
REFUGEE WORK IS GOD'S WORK.
00:24:35.10\00:24:38.67
BEING A PASTOR MYSELF I SUSPECT
THAT THOSE CONGREGATIONS THAT
00:24:38.71\00:24:44.11
GET INVOLVED IN THIS BEGIN TO
SEE THEMSELVES MORE AS A FAMILY.
00:24:44.15\00:24:48.82
THEY SURE DO.
00:24:48.85\00:24:50.15
BECAUSE WE IN OUR
INDIVIDUALISTIC CULTURE ARE
PERFECTLY CAPABLE OF
00:24:50.19\00:24:54.92
DOING CHURCH TOGETHER
WITHOUT REALLY BONDING.
00:24:58.73\00:25:01.26
THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
00:25:01.30\00:25:02.60
BUT YOU CAN'T DO THE REFUGEE
WORK WITHOUT BONDING WITH THEM
00:25:02.63\00:25:06.40
BECAUSE IF YOU VISIT THEM IN
THEIR HOME THEY VIEW YOU AS PART
00:25:06.43\00:25:13.17
OF THEIR FAMILY. YOU
ARE PART OF THEIR FAMILY.
00:25:13.21\00:25:14.88
OH MY.
00:25:14.91\00:25:16.61
WELL DEAN, THANK
YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING.
00:25:16.64\00:25:19.38
THAT'S A VISION THAT I HAVE NOT
HEARD OF BEFORE AND IT SOUNDS
00:25:19.41\00:25:24.19
LIKE YOU HAVE OPENED UP A LOT OF
EYES AND EARS TO THAT POTENTIAL.
00:25:24.22\00:25:29.62
THE UNITED STATES IS GOING TO
CONTINUE TO BE ONE OF THE PLACES
00:25:29.66\00:25:33.76
IN THE WORLD THAT
WELCOMES PEOPLE LIKE THIS.
00:25:33.80\00:25:35.00
THAT IS RIGHT.
00:25:35.03\00:25:36.00
AND WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:25:36.03\00:25:37.63
THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH
CAN ORGANIZE IN SIMPLE WAYS THAT
00:25:37.67\00:25:44.24
WOULD ALIGN MINISTRIES TO EACH
ONE DOING THEIR PART AND WE CAN
00:25:44.27\00:25:51.05
CHANGE THE WORLD. I LIKE IT.
00:25:51.08\00:25:52.11
THERE'S AN APPEAL.
00:25:52.15\00:25:53.65
I'M GOING TO TURN BACK TO YOU
WHO ARE WATCHING THIS AND JUST
00:25:53.68\00:25:58.42
PASS THAT
APPEAL ON TO YOU AGAIN.
00:25:58.45\00:25:59.85
WE HERE AT ADVENTURES IN
MISSIONS WANT YOU TO ENTER INTO
00:25:59.89\00:26:05.49
THAT ADVENTURE. IT DOESN'T HAVE
TO BE OFF IN BHUTAN OR NEPAL OR
THE BORDER LANDS OF KURDISTAN,
00:26:05.53\00:26:11.53
IF SUCH A PLACE EXISTS.
00:26:11.57\00:26:13.23
IT CAN BE RIGHT
IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
00:26:13.27\00:26:15.67
YOU HAVE A POWER.
00:26:15.70\00:26:17.24
YOUR CHURCH, YOUR CONGREGATION
HAS A POWER TO DO GOOD THAT
00:26:17.27\00:26:21.38
NOBODY ELSE CAN DO.
00:26:21.41\00:26:22.78
I JUST PRAY YOU'LL WRITE
DOWN THOSE CONTACT NUMBERS AND
00:26:22.81\00:26:28.38
ADDRESSES AGAIN. THEY'RE ON
THE SCREEN, YOU CAN FIND THEM.
00:26:28.42\00:26:31.02
WE ARE HERE HOPING THAT
THIS WILL CONTINUE TO EXPAND.
00:26:31.05\00:26:36.12
CONFERENCES LIKE IOWA-MISSOURI
AND LEADERS LIKE DEAN CORIDAN
00:26:36.16\00:26:41.16
AND YOU WILL TAKE UP THAT
LEADERSHIP AND WE WILL SOON SEE
00:26:43.30\00:26:48.20
THOUSANDS WHERE
NOW THERE IS ONE.
00:26:48.24\00:26:49.20
AMEN.
00:26:49.24\00:26:50.21
GOD BLESS YOU EACH ONE.
00:26:50.24\00:26:51.91
THANK YOU DEAN.
00:26:51.94\00:26:52.91
THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.
00:26:52.94\00:26:54.91
IT'S BEEN FUN.
00:26:54.94\00:26:55.91
