THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE IN

00:01:29.02\00:01:34.12
GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:01:34.16\00:01:35.12
AH REMIND OUR AUDIENCE
AGAIN TODAY WHERE IS THAT?
00:01:35.16\00:01:39.13
I LOOK AFTER BANGLADESH AND ALSO
ONE OF THE SMALLEST STATES IN
00:01:39.16\00:01:45.20
INDIA, TRIPURA WHICH
IS JUST ABOVE BANGLADESH.
00:01:45.23\00:01:47.90
AND THAT'S CALLED REGION WHAT?
00:01:47.94\00:01:50.01
REGION FIVE.
00:01:50.04\00:01:51.54
REGION FIVE AND I ASK JOHN THAT
BECAUSE I THINK THERE ARE
SEVENTEEN OR EIGHTEEN
00:01:51.57\00:01:57.85
REGIONS THAT GOSPEL OUTREACH HAS
DIVIDED THE TERRITORY INTO AND
00:01:57.88\00:02:03.02
THERE ARE JOHN DUROES ALTHOUGH I
ALLOWED TO HIM AWHILE AGO THAT
I'D LOVE IT IF JOHN
00:02:05.39\00:02:09.72
DUROE WAS GOING TO A LOT OF
THESE PLACES AND BRINGING US
00:02:09.76\00:02:14.83
THESE KINDS OF
PICTURES- ANYWAY VIDEOS.
00:02:17.83\00:02:19.47
THERE ARE ABOUT SEVENTEEN OTHERS
LIKE JOHN WHO ARE
REPRESENTATIVES OF GOSPEL
00:02:19.50\00:02:25.51
OUTREACH AND THEY GO THERE TO
CONNECT WITH THOSE PEOPLE TO LET
00:02:25.54\00:02:31.81
THEM KNOW -GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS-TO LET THEM KNOW THAT WE
00:02:31.85\00:02:35.75
ARE WITH THEM.
WE STAND WITH THIM.
00:02:35.78\00:02:36.75
WE PRAY WITH THEM
AND WE SUPPORT THEM.
00:02:36.79\00:02:39.45
TODAY JOHN YOU ARE BRINGING US
REPORTS FROM BANGLADESH, RIGHT?
00:02:39.49\00:02:43.46
YES AND IT WASN'T EASY THIS YEAR
ON MY TRIP TO BANGLADESH BECAUSE
00:02:43.49\00:02:48.73
THERE WAS A GOVERNMENT STRIKE
-TRAFFIC STRIKE AND NOTHING WAS
00:02:48.76\00:02:54.90
SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE ROAD SO
LET ME SHOW YOU THIS FIRST
VIDEO, OK, AND YOU WILL SEE WHAT
00:02:54.94\00:02:58.71
I AM TALKING ABOUT.
00:02:58.74\00:03:00.88
IN THE SOUTH OF BANGLADESH THE
COUNTRYSIDE IS VERY PLEASANT.
00:03:02.51\00:03:07.02
THE PEOPLE ARE HARD WORKING.
00:03:07.05\00:03:09.58
HE'S STOKING A RICE
FURNACE AND FRIENDLY.
00:03:09.62\00:03:14.29
WE HAVE TO TAKE ONE OF
THE MANY FERRIES ON OUR WAY.
00:03:14.32\00:03:18.16
MELTING SNOW FROM THE HIMALAYAN
MOUNTAINS IN THE NORTH RUNS
00:03:18.19\00:03:22.83
THROUGH MORE THAN 800 RIVERS
TO EMPTY IN THE BAY OF BENGAL.
00:03:22.86\00:03:27.60
TYPICALLY, EACH YEAR MORE THAN A
THIRD OF THE COUNTRY IS FLOODED
00:03:27.64\00:03:33.54
LEAVING RICH SOIL TO
GROW A GREAT VARIETY OF CROPS.
00:03:33.58\00:03:37.51
MANY ARE PRODUCED FOR EXPORT.
00:03:37.55\00:03:41.65
ON MY VISIT THIS YEAR THE
POLITICAL SITUATION WAS VERY
00:03:41.68\00:03:47.22
UNEASY. I FOUND MYSELF TRAPPED
IN AN ELEVEN DAY TRAFFIC STRIKE
00:03:47.26\00:03:52.89
CALLED BY THE
GOVERNMENT OPPOSITION PARTY.
00:03:52.93\00:03:54.46
THIS TROUBLE WAS REFLECTED
IN THE DAILY LIVES OF PEOPLE BUT
00:03:54.46\00:04:01.34
MOST PEOPLE
TOOK IT WITH A SMILE.
00:04:01.37\00:04:04.34
WE TOOK ANOTHER SMALL FERRY TO
THE VILLAGE OF DONNUM WHERE OUR
00:04:04.37\00:04:08.18
GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKER HAD BEEN WORKING HARD.
00:04:08.21\00:04:11.61
THIS LADY VOLUNTEERED A SONG.
00:04:11.65\00:04:13.85
VAKISH HAD BEEN VISITING,
PRAYING AND STUDYING WITH MANY
00:04:13.88\00:04:18.95
OF THE VILLAGE PEOPLE.
00:04:21.96\00:04:23.16
HE'D MORE THAN SIXTY INTERESTS
AND SO HE INVITED THE DISTRICT
00:04:23.19\00:04:28.00
LEADER, PASTOR BAROY TO COME
AND HELP HOLD SOME EVANGELISTIC
00:04:31.13\00:04:36.20
MEETINGS. FORTY-FIVE MADE THE
DECISION TO BE BAPTIZED BUT ON
00:04:39.57\00:04:46.31
THE WAY TO THE NEARBY POND THEY
WERE WARNED OF TROUBLE AHEAD.
00:04:46.35\00:04:51.22
SOME OF THE VILLAGE PEOPLE
DIDN'T WANT ANY CHANGES IN THEIR
00:04:51.25\00:04:55.86
VILLAGE AND THEY
WANTED TO STOP THE BAPTISM.
00:04:55.89\00:04:58.76
PASTOR BAROY CHANGED THE
DIRECTION AND HE DECIDED TO HEAD
00:04:58.79\00:05:04.40
TO ANOTHER POND IN A DIFFERENT
PLACE AND THE BAPTISM TOOK
00:05:04.43\00:05:08.00
PLACE. BUT ON THEIR WAY BACK TO
THE CHURCH THEY WERE STOPPED BY
00:05:08.04\00:05:14.48
ANOTHER GROUP INCLUDING
REPORTERS FROM THE LOCAL TV
00:05:14.51\00:05:17.71
STATION. PASTOR BAROY EXPLAINED
THAT THEY WERE JUST ON THEIR WAY
00:05:17.75\00:05:22.92
TO THE CHURCH FOR A SOCIAL
GATHERING AND THEY WERE ALLOWED
TO PASS AND THEY DID HAVE A
00:05:22.95\00:05:28.66
CELEBRATION WITH SOME
VERY SPECIAL LOCAL CANDY.
00:05:28.69\00:05:33.13
IN NEARBY CHAKSING TOWN GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKER TOPAN WAS ALSO
00:05:33.16\00:05:39.93
HAVING TROUBLE MAKING CHANGES.
00:05:39.97\00:05:42.07
THE TOWN ALREADY HAD FIVE
DIFFERENT CHURCHES AND SO THEY
00:05:42.10\00:05:48.21
DEFINITELY DIDN'T WANT ANOTHER
ONE BUT TOPAN HAD BEEN WORKING
HARD VISITING AND TEN PEOPLE
00:05:48.24\00:05:54.68
HAD DECIDED TO BECOME SABBATH
KEEPERS AND WERE BAPTIZED.
00:05:54.72\00:06:00.42
LOCAL TROUBLE MAKERS INSULTED
AND BEAT TOPAN BUT HE STILL
00:06:00.46\00:06:05.83
CONTINUED TO VISIT AND TEACH
AND EIGHT MORE WERE BAPTIZED.
00:06:05.86\00:06:10.27
TOPAN NEEDS OUR PRAYERS SO
THAT ONE MORE CHURCH OR SABBATH
00:06:10.30\00:06:15.37
KEEPERS CAN BE
ESTABLISHED IN CHAKSING TOWN.
00:06:17.57\00:06:20.71
IN DIFFICULT TIMES OUR GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS ARE WORKING
00:06:20.74\00:06:27.48
EXTRA HARD TO SHARE THE
GOOD NEWS IN BANGLADESH.
00:06:27.52\00:06:30.95
THE PERSISTENCE OF
THAT DEAR MAN IS AMAZING.
00:06:33.22\00:06:37.86
HOW DOES HE MAKE THESE CONTACTS?
00:06:37.89\00:06:40.70
AH, WELL THE VARIOUS.
00:06:40.73\00:06:44.97
VARIOUS WORKERS
WORK IN DIFFERENT WAYS.
00:06:45.00\00:06:50.04
YOU SEE, HE WAS WORKING JUST
GIVING BIBLE STUDIES AND SO ON
00:06:50.07\00:06:55.14
BUT I'VE GOT A VIDEO THE NEXT
VIDEO WE ARE GOING TO SEE YOU'LL
SEE ONE OF OUR YOUNG
00:06:57.15\00:07:00.72
WORKERS HE DECIDED THAT THE BEST
WAY TO CONTACT YOUNG PEOPLE IS
00:07:00.75\00:07:06.39
TO WORK WITH THE YOUNG PEOPLE IN
TEACHING THEM SPORTS AND THINGS
00:07:06.42\00:07:10.43
LIKE THIS. SO LET'S HAVE A LOOK
AT THIS NEXT VIDEO AND YOU'LL
SEE HOW HE, THIS ONE
00:07:10.46\00:07:14.10
WORKS.
00:07:14.10\00:07:15.06
O.K.
00:07:15.10\00:07:16.43
THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF CHILDREN
IN BANGLADESH BUT FIFTY PER CENT
00:07:16.46\00:07:21.17
ARE UNDERNOURISHED AND ANEMIC.
00:07:24.54\00:07:26.74
IT IS BECAUSE OF POVERTY.
00:07:26.78\00:07:29.31
NOT A SHORTAGE OF FOOD IN
COUNTRY MARKETS ARE FULL OF
00:07:29.34\00:07:34.25
FOOD. FARMERS HAVE THREE CROPS
OF RICE EVERY YEAR AND
BANGLADESH IS ONE OF THE
00:07:34.28\00:07:40.29
WORLDS TOP EXPORTERS OF RICE.
00:07:40.32\00:07:43.73
I STOPPED BY THE BANANA MARKET.
00:07:43.76\00:07:45.93
SO MANY FARMERS WERE BRINGING
THEIR CROPS ON CYCLE RICKSHAWS
00:07:45.96\00:07:51.60
AND BICYCLES.
00:07:51.63\00:07:52.50
THE DEALERS WERE
HAGGLING OVER THE PRICES.
00:07:52.53\00:07:56.74
CHILDREN DON'T NEED EXPENSIVE
TOYS; THEY JUST NEED A LITTLE
00:07:56.77\00:08:02.11
IMAGINATION AND A
FISHING POLE OR A HOMEMADE KITE.
00:08:02.14\00:08:05.48
I SAW LOTS OF VARIATIONS
WITH A KIND OF HOPSCOTCH.
00:08:05.51\00:08:10.05
THE BOYS WERE VERY
CLEVER WITH THEIR SPINNING TOPS.
00:08:10.09\00:08:13.79
I VISITED WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKER HILLAL RAMEN WHO WORKS IN
00:08:13.82\00:08:19.66
RANCHI VILLAGE ON
THE BORDER OF INDIA.
00:08:19.69\00:08:22.50
I ASKED HIM HOW HE APPROACHES
PEOPLE; HOW HE INVITES THEM TO
00:08:22.53\00:08:28.37
CHURCH. HE SAID THAT HE PRAYED
ABOUT IT AND HE TRIED DIFFERENT
00:08:28.40\00:08:34.14
METHODS AND HE FOUND THAT THE
MOST EFFECTIVE WAY IS JUST TO
MAKE FRIENDS WITH YOUNG
00:08:34.18\00:08:39.28
PEOPLE.
00:08:39.31\00:08:40.22
I FOUND HILLAL TO BE
A VERY FRIENDLY PERSON.
00:08:40.25\00:08:43.59
HE ALWAYS HAD A
SMILE ON HIS FACE.
00:08:43.62\00:08:46.72
HE'S A GOOD SOCCER COACH TOO.
00:08:46.76\00:08:49.29
I WATCHED HIM DRILLING HIS NEW
TEAM IN HEADING AND DRIBBLING
00:08:49.32\00:08:54.23
AND JUST CONTROLLING THE BALL.
00:08:54.30\00:08:55.50
THEY LISTEN TO HIS INSTRUCTIONS
AND THEY LISTEN TO OTHER THINGS
00:08:55.53\00:09:00.17
TOO.
00:09:00.20\00:09:01.24
THEY LIKE IT WHEN HE
PRAYS WITH THEM BEFORE THE GAME.
00:09:01.27\00:09:05.27
HE KNOWS ALL ABOUT KITE MAKING.
00:09:05.31\00:09:07.58
THAT'S A BIG DEAL IN BANGLADESH.
00:09:07.61\00:09:09.88
SOME SPECIAL DAYS THE SKIES ARE
FULL OF KITES AND KIDS FIGHT TO
00:09:09.91\00:09:15.65
HAVE THE LAST KITE FLYING.
00:09:15.68\00:09:18.32
THE GIRLS ARE NOT FORGOTTEN
AND EVEN THE YOUNG KIDS GET
00:09:18.35\00:09:21.66
INSTRUCTIONS IN PLAYING MARBLES.
00:09:21.69\00:09:24.46
THE YOUNG PEOPLE LIKE HILLAL'S
DIFFERENT LIFE STYLE AND SLOWLY
00:09:24.49\00:09:31.00
THEY ARE MAKING
CHANGES THEMSELVES.
00:09:31.03\00:09:34.17
HE ATTENDS THEIR SOCIAL EVENTS
AND THEIR CHRISTMAS PLAYS.
00:09:34.20\00:09:38.31
THERE ARE SOME OTHER CHURCH
GROUPS WHO ARE TRYING TO HINDER
00:09:38.34\00:09:42.14
HIS WORK BUT TWO OF THE YOUNG
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ATTENDING
CHURCH REGULARLY AND TODAY
00:09:42.18\00:09:47.45
THEY WILL BE BAPTIZED.
00:09:47.48\00:09:49.62
THE MISSION PRESIDENT PRESENTED
THEM WITH A TALKING BIBLE.
00:09:49.65\00:09:55.72
HILLAL'S STRATEGY IS PAYING OFF.
00:09:55.76\00:09:59.23
HE HASN'T BEEN WORKING IN
RANGSHI FOR LONG BUT THE YOUNG
00:09:59.26\00:10:03.87
PEOPLE ARE RESPONDING.
00:10:03.90\00:10:05.30
PLEASE PRAY FOR HILLAL AND KEEP
SUPPORTING OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:10:05.33\00:10:12.07
WORKERS IN BANGLADESH.
00:10:12.11\00:10:14.14
SO THAT WAS HILLAL'S STRATEGY
FOR REACHING THE YOUNG PEOPLE.
00:10:16.01\00:10:19.88
UM, WHO IS TO SAY AS YOU SAID
EARLIER IN YOUR VIDEO THAT THE
00:10:19.91\00:10:24.95
FIRST LINE OF APPROACH FOR
ALMOST EVERY GOSPEL WORKER WOULD
BE TO MAKE FRIENDS.
00:10:31.66\00:10:36.80
YES.
00:10:36.83\00:10:38.27
WITH THE PEOPLE, YES AND
THAT'S WHY GOSPEL OUTREACH IS SO
00:10:38.30\00:10:44.04
EFFECTIVE BECAUSE ALL OF THOSE
WORKERS ARE LOCAL WORKERS WHO
KNOW THE AREA, KNOW THE PEOPLE,
00:10:44.07\00:10:50.48
KNOW THE CULTURE AND
THEY CAN MAKE FRIENDS.
00:10:50.51\00:10:53.55
I'M SO GLAD YOU REMINDED US
OF THAT JOHN BECAUSE THAT IS AND
00:10:53.58\00:10:59.75
I'M GOING TO SAY IT THIS
WAY, THE DIVINE GENIUS, YES, OF
00:10:59.79\00:11:04.33
GOSPEL OUTREACH. YES, THAT THOSE
DEAR PEOPLE I USED TO SAY THEY
ALREADY KNOWN AND THEY FIT
00:11:04.36\00:11:10.63
THE CULTURE AND THEY LIKE THE
FOOD, YES, AND ALL OF IT IS JUST
00:11:10.67\00:11:16.44
A NATURAL SO THE GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKER IS SEEN AS ONE OF US.
00:11:16.47\00:11:20.74
YES, YES.
00:11:20.78\00:11:22.21
NOW HOW DOES THIS -LET'S TAKE
AN EXTRA MINUTE HERE - HOW DOES-
00:11:22.24\00:11:26.92
BECAUSE THEY WERE ATTACKING HIM
AT SOME POINT-THOSE WHO OPPOSED
HIM, YES, DOES HE JUST GO
00:11:29.72\00:11:34.79
AWAY AND COME
BACK A LITTLE LATER OR?
00:11:37.09\00:11:39.26
SURE.
00:11:39.29\00:11:40.26
HE -THAT HASN'T
STOPPED HIM AT ALL.
00:11:40.30\00:11:45.40
IN EVERY , IN EVERY CULTURE
THERE ARE ALWAYS HOOLIGANS AND
00:11:45.43\00:11:51.84
YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO BE
DOING THE WRONG THING, YES, SO
WE SHOULDN'T BE SURPRISED
00:11:51.87\00:11:58.48
THAT THE GREAT CONTROVERSY
SHOWS UP IN INTERESTING WAYS IN
00:11:58.51\00:12:02.62
DIFFERENT PLACES. YES.
00:12:02.65\00:12:05.39

FOR ME TO INTERJECT A LITTLE
00:12:05.42\00:12:10.83

AS FAR AWAY AS TIBET AND OH, I'M

GOING TO SHOW YOU A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT THAT TRIBE IN THIS NEXT
00:13:53.70\00:13:57.00
VIDEO NOW. OK.
00:13:57.03\00:13:59.10
ON THE BANGLADESH BORDER WITH
INDIA THERE' S A GROUP OF PEOPLE
00:14:01.74\00:14:06.54
CALLED GARO.
00:14:06.57\00:14:07.91
THEY ARE A TRIBE THAT CAME FROM
TIBET ABOUT FIVE HUNDRED YEARS
00:14:07.94\00:14:13.88
AGO. THEY TRAVELED ALONG THE
BRAHMA PUTRA RIVER USING BANANA
00:14:13.92\00:14:20.06
STALK RAFTS AND
SETTLED IN THIS AREA.
00:14:20.09\00:14:23.39
PREVIOUSLY, THEY WERE SPIRIT
WORSHIPPERS BUT THEY ALL -100
00:14:23.43\00:14:29.90
PER CENT BECAME CHRISTIANS.
00:14:29.93\00:14:31.33
BEPO HOWI IS GARO AND HE
WORKS IN SARGHUPUR AS A GOSPEL
00:14:31.37\00:14:36.40
OUTREACH WORKER. IN HIS TOWN
LIVED A YOUNG MAN CALLED DAVID
WHO WAS VERY SICK EVEN COUGHING
00:14:40.88\00:14:46.82
UP BLOOD.
00:14:46.85\00:14:47.88
THEY THOUGHT HE MAY HAVE TB.
00:14:47.92\00:14:49.38
HE WAS A BAPTIST AND SO HE
CALLED SOME OF THE CHURCH
MEMBERS TO PRAY BUT WITH
00:14:49.42\00:14:54.22
NO RESULTS.
00:14:54.26\00:14:55.66
DAVID TOLD HIS MOTHER TO CALL
THE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST GOSPEL
00:14:55.69\00:14:57.19
OUTREACH WORKER TO PRAY FOR HIM
AND HE CAME AND PRAYED AND HE
RETURNED THE NEXT DAY WITH
00:14:57.23\00:15:02.36
OTHER CHURCH MEMBERS.
00:15:16.64\00:15:18.75
NEXT DAY DAVID ANNOUNCED THAT HE
WAS FEELING MUCH BETTER AND BEPO
00:15:18.78\00:15:24.29
ARRANGED TO HAVE BIBLE STUDIES
WITH HIM ON A REGULAR BASIS.
00:15:24.32\00:15:27.46
TODAY I WATCHED
HIM BEING BAPTIZED.
00:15:31.53\00:15:36.26
DAVID IS SIXTEEN YEARS OLD
-ALREADY THINKING OF COLLEGE AND
00:15:36.30\00:15:42.37
HE WANTS TO BE A PASTOR.
00:15:42.40\00:15:43.74
I ASKED BEPO TO HAVE HIM CHECKED
OUT AT THE HOSPITAL FOR ANY
00:15:43.77\00:15:47.84
LINGERING TB.
00:15:47.88\00:15:49.14
BEPO HAS AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN
THE MORNING AND HE VISITS IN THE
00:15:49.18\00:15:54.62
AFTERNOON.
00:15:54.65\00:15:55.98
HE STOPPED BY SARGEN REMA'S HOME
TO ENCOURAGE THE FAMILY TO HAVE
00:15:56.02\00:16:01.09
BIBLE STUDIES.
00:16:01.12\00:16:02.29
FATHER WAS WORKING OUT OF TOWN
IN THE CAPITAL CITY OF DHAKA.
00:16:02.32\00:16:07.76
WHEN HE MADE A RETURN VISIT
HE ASKED BEPO WHAT HE WAS DOING.
00:16:07.76\00:16:11.77
HE GOT A LITTLE UPSET AND
HE WANTED NO PART IN THE WHOLE
00:16:11.80\00:16:18.01
BUSINESS BUT THE MOTHER
ENCOURAGE SAJAN TO HAVE BIBLE
STUDIES AND LISTENED IN HERSELF.
00:16:18.04\00:16:24.65
SAJAN IS BEING BAPTIZED TODAY.
00:16:24.68\00:16:27.32
HE IS FIFTEEN YEARS OLD AND
HE WANTS TO BE A TEACHER WHEN HE
00:16:27.35\00:16:33.72
GRADUATES. ANOTHER
STUDENT WHO NEEDS A SPONSOR.
00:16:33.76\00:16:37.39
EARLIER THIS MONTH HE ALSO
BROUGHT A TWELVE YEAR OLD GIRL
00:16:37.43\00:16:43.60
TO BE BAPTIZED. JUMA'S PARENTS
ARE BOTH DRUNKARDS AND SHE SAID
THAT SHE DIDN'T WANT TO
00:16:43.63\00:16:49.04
LIVE THAT KIND OF LIFE.
00:16:49.07\00:16:50.44
ANOTHER GARO GLOBAL OUTREACH
WORKER IS TANOY HAGIDAK.
00:16:50.47\00:16:56.91
WHEN HEMET A YOUNG MAN ALFONS
HE WAS TOLD THAT ALFONS HAD BEEN
00:16:56.95\00:17:03.32
INTERESTED IN BECOMING A SEVENTH
DAY ADVENTIST BEFORE BUT NO
PASTOR OR TEACHER HAD
00:17:03.35\00:17:08.12
APPROACHED HIM.
00:17:08.16\00:17:09.56
HE'D WATCHED OTHER SEVENTH DAY
ADVENTIST YOUNG PEOPLE AND HE
00:17:09.59\00:17:13.43
LIKED THEIR LIFESTYLE.
00:17:13.46\00:17:14.93
IN FACT, HIS OLDER BROTHER HAD
BEEN SPONSORED AS A STUDENT IN
00:17:14.93\00:17:19.67
THE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST SCHOOL
AND HE WAS NOW A CHURCH MEMBER.
00:17:19.70\00:17:24.07
AFTER BIBLE STUDIES ALFONS
CAME TODAY TO BE BAPTIZED.
00:17:24.11\00:17:28.88
HE WANTS TO BE A TEACHER.
00:17:28.91\00:17:30.08
SO MANY YOUNG GARO BELIEVERS
ALL WILLING TO DO GOD'S WORK.
00:17:30.11\00:17:36.12
PLEASE PRAY FOR THE GARO PEOPLE
AND HELP US TO SUPPORT THE YOUNG
00:17:36.15\00:17:43.12
STUDENTS AND THE GARO GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS IN BANGLADESH.
00:17:43.16\00:17:48.16
JOHN, DID I UNDERSTAND YOU TO
SAY THAT THESE GARO PEOPLE FROM
00:17:50.47\00:17:55.54
TIBET THEY CAME
ALL AS CHRISTIANS?
00:17:59.24\00:18:01.11
NO, BUT MOST OF THEM BECAME
CHRISTIANS AND SO IT HASN'T BEEN
00:18:01.14\00:18:06.21
A LONG LEAP FOR THEM TO
ACCEPT THE ADVENTIST MESSAGE.
00:18:10.59\00:18:14.76
RIGHT, RIGHT.
00:18:14.79\00:18:16.26
AND IT IS OBVIOUS THAT IT IS
VERY IMPRESSIVE TO THE PEOPLE
00:18:16.29\00:18:21.90
-THE CHANGES THAT ARE MADE IN
THE LIVES OF THESE YOUNG PEOPLE.
00:18:21.93\00:18:24.23
YES, AND NOW I NOTICE THAT
THEY'RE ANTICIPATING GOING TO
00:18:24.27\00:18:29.34
SCHOOL. IS SCHOOL READILY
AVAILABLE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE LIKE
00:18:29.37\00:18:32.11
THIS? YES, WE HAVE A GOOD
SYSTEM OF SCHOOLS IN BANGLADESH.
00:18:32.14\00:18:35.68
MR. MCNEILUS BUILT -SPONSORED
ABOUT 200 CHURCHES WITH SCHOOLS.
00:18:35.71\00:18:37.68
WOW.
00:18:37.71\00:18:39.18
WITH SCHOOL ROOMS AND BUT WE
HAVE LOTS OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS
00:18:39.21\00:18:43.79
AS WELL-BOARDING SCHOOLS FOR OUR
YOUNG PEOPLE AND WE HAVE A GOOD
COLLEGE FOR OUR YOUNG
00:18:45.75\00:18:50.83
PEOPLE.
00:18:55.66\00:18:56.97
IT IS JUST STARTED A MEDICAL
STUDY, REALLY, AT THE COLLEGE AS
00:18:57.00\00:19:02.17
WELL. SO EDUCATION IS AVAILABLE
IN BANGLADESH AND IT IS VERY
00:19:02.20\00:19:07.94
IMPORTANT TO THEM ALSO.
00:19:07.98\00:19:08.94
YES.
00:19:08.98\00:19:09.94
YES.
00:19:09.98\00:19:10.91
HOW MANY GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS IN BANGLADESH?
00:19:10.95\00:19:14.18
WE HAVE ABOUT EIGHTY
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS.
00:19:14.22\00:19:17.45
EIGHTY?
00:19:17.49\00:19:18.69
YES, THE BANGLADESH IS DIVIDED
INTO FOUR DIFFERENT MISSIONS.
00:19:18.72\00:19:22.26
WE HAVE ABOUT
TWENTY IN EACH MISSION.
00:19:22.29\00:19:24.26
UH HUH.
00:19:24.29\00:19:26.13
AND GOSPEL OUTREACH HAS
BEEN WORKING IN BANGLADESH FOR A
00:19:26.16\00:19:29.96
NUMBER OF YEARS ALREADY THEN?
00:19:30.00\00:19:30.97
YES, YES OK.
00:19:31.00\00:19:33.30
ALRIGHT.
00:19:33.34\00:19:34.30
YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER STORY FOR US.
00:19:34.34\00:19:36.30
ONE MORE VIDEO AND IT WILL
ILLUSTRATE SOME OF THE
DIFFICULTIES THAT OUR
00:19:36.34\00:19:41.34
GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS FACE ON THE ROADS.
00:19:41.38\00:19:43.51
WELL IN AN EARLIER VIDEO WHEN
YOU SAID THERE WAS A STRIKE ON
00:19:43.55\00:19:50.09
THE ROADS AND NOT ABLE TO GET
ABOUT, YES, TYPICAL I REMEMBER
HAVING BEEN IN BANGLADESH
00:19:50.12\00:19:55.16
AND I THINK I WOULD HAVE
PRAYED FOR A STRIKE ON THE ROADS
00:19:58.16\00:20:02.46
BECAUSE IT IS VERY DIFFICULT
TO GO ANYWHERE ON THE ROADS IN
00:20:02.50\00:20:05.43
BANGLADESH. VERY DANGEROUS.
00:20:05.47\00:20:06.53
OK LET'S WATCH THIS NEXT VIDEO.
00:20:06.57\00:20:12.41
TRAVELING ON THE ROADS OF
BANGLADESH IS NEVER EASY
ESPECIALLY NOT THIS YEAR.
00:20:12.44\00:20:19.25
A GOVERNMENT OPPOSITION PARTY
WAS USING THEIR MOST EFFECTIVE
00:20:19.28\00:20:25.49
WEAPON AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT
CALLING FOR NATIONAL BUS AND
TRANSPORTATION STRIKES.
00:20:25.52\00:20:30.63
FOR ELEVEN DAYS IT
PARALYZED THE COUNTRY.
00:20:30.66\00:20:34.30
SOME BUSSES RISKED IT WINDOWS
CLOSED FOR FEAR OF PETROL BOMBS
00:20:34.36\00:20:39.40
AND MORE THAN A
HUNDRED WERE BURNED.
00:20:42.37\00:20:45.01
I ENDED UP MY STAY IN THE
COUNTRY STRANDED UP NORTH WITH A
00:20:45.04\00:20:51.18
BOOKED FLIGHT OUT FROM
DHAKA THE CAPITAL THE NEXT DAY.
00:20:51.21\00:20:54.55
FORTUNATELY, WITH SOME FRIENDS
IN THE RIGHT PLACE WE WERE ABLE
00:20:54.58\00:20:59.32
TO PICK UP A COUPLE OF TRAIN
TICKETS ON THE BLACK MARKET.
00:20:59.35\00:21:03.22
ONE OF OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS TOLD ME HIS SCARRY BUS
00:21:03.26\00:21:09.60
STORY. KAMALISH HAD BEEN TO A
GOSPEL OUTREACH TRAINING SESSION
00:21:09.63\00:21:15.54
IN THE FALL AT OUR
BANGLADESH CHURCH COLLEGE.
00:21:15.57\00:21:17.87
HE WAS STUCK ON THE WAY HOME.
00:21:17.91\00:21:20.24
THERE HAD BEEN A TRAFFIC STRIKE
SO ALL THE BUSSES WERE NOW FULL.
00:21:20.28\00:21:25.41
HE'D BEEN WAITING FOR
HOURS FOR A CONNECTING BUS.
00:21:25.45\00:21:28.98
WHEN ONE FINALLY CAME BY
KAMALISH NOTICED THAT THERE WAS
00:21:29.02\00:21:35.39
NO DESTINATION
NAME ON THE FRONT.
00:21:35.42\00:21:37.43
WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO?
00:21:37.46\00:21:38.63
THEY SHOUTED.
00:21:38.66\00:21:40.53
NALITIBARI-WE ARE GOING THERE
THE BUS BOY SHOUTED AND THEY
00:21:40.56\00:21:46.74
GRABBED HIM AND THEY PULLED HIIM
ON THE BUS AND THEN THEY DID
SOMETHING UNUSUAL CHECKING
00:21:46.77\00:21:52.47
HIS POCKETS FOR WHAT?
00:21:52.51\00:21:54.34
THE BUS FILLED
UP QUICKLY AND LEFT.
00:21:54.38\00:21:57.61
THE BUS BOY STARTED COLLECTING
THE FARES FROM THE BACK OF THE
00:21:57.65\00:22:02.38
BUS ASKING NOT FOR THE USUAL 200
TAKA FARE BUT 300 TAKA WHEN
PASSENGERS REFUSED TO PAY
00:22:02.42\00:22:09.16
THEY WERE PUSHED AND EVEN BEATEN
AS THE BUS DROVE ON KAMALISH WAS
00:22:09.19\00:22:15.40
PRAYING FOR PROTECTION.
00:22:15.43\00:22:17.20
OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER PAID
THE EXTRA 100 TAKA BUT THE BOYS
00:22:17.23\00:22:23.94
DECIDED TO SEARCH HIS BAG.
00:22:23.97\00:22:25.81
KAMALISH HAD AN ARMY BLANKET IN
HIS BAG AND THIS CAUSED THE BUS
00:22:25.84\00:22:31.25
BOYS TO THINK THAT HE
WAS CONNECTED WITH THE ARMY.
00:22:31.28\00:22:34.48
THEY ASKED HIM WHO HE WAS; WHERE
HE HAD BEEN; WHAT HE WAS DOING;
00:22:34.52\00:22:38.85
HE TOLD THEM EVERYTHING.
00:22:38.89\00:22:40.32
AT HIS STOP THEY DROPPED HIM BUT
NO ONE ELSE WAS ALLOWED TO LEAVE
00:22:40.36\00:22:46.39
THE BUS. HE ARRIVED HOME
THAT NIGHT THANKING GOD FOR HIS
00:22:46.43\00:22:51.50
PROTECTION. HE DOES PROTECT OUR
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS IN
BANGLADESH AND I THANK HIM
00:22:51.53\00:22:57.51
TOO FOR HIS PROTECTION
ON THE ROADS THIS YEAR.
00:22:57.54\00:23:01.68
PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR OUR
GOSPEL WORKERS IN BANGLADESH.
00:23:01.71\00:23:06.78
MY OWN EXPERIENCE WILL TESTIFY
ANY SAFE RETURN FROM A TRIP ON A
00:23:09.32\00:23:15.92
BANGLADESHI ROAD
WOULD BE A MIRACLE.
00:23:15.96\00:23:19.19
YES, PEOPLE ASK ME ARE YOU
AFRAID TO GO TO BANGLADESH.
00:23:19.23\00:23:22.06
I SAY ONLY WHEN I'M ON THE ROAD.
00:23:22.10\00:23:25.80
AS YOU KNOW SO WELL, IT'S NOT
UNCOMMON TO BE RIDING ALONG IN A
00:23:25.83\00:23:30.67
BUS OR SOME OTHER VEHICLE AND
THERE IS ONE UPSIDE DOWN WHERE
PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR
00:23:30.71\00:23:35.31
LIVES.
00:23:35.34\00:23:36.78
YES, BECAUSE LITERALLY THESE
VEHICLES DRIVE RIGHT AT EACH
00:23:36.81\00:23:41.42
OTHER AND IT'S AT THE LAST
MINUTE ONE OF THEM OR THE OTHER
IS SUPPOSED TO TURN, YES, TO
00:23:43.65\00:23:47.69
GET OUT OF THE TRAFFIC LANE
AND THEY DON'T ALWAYS DO IT.
00:23:47.72\00:23:51.46
EVERY, EVERY MINUTE
TWENTY TWO PEOPLE DIE.
00:23:51.49\00:23:57.63
EVERY MINUTE?
00:23:57.67\00:23:58.63
IN BANGLADESH?
00:23:58.67\00:23:59.63
WAIT IS IT EVERY
MINUTE OR EVERY HOUR?
00:23:59.67\00:24:01.70
IT IS 500 PEOPLE A
DAY DIE ON THE ROADS.
00:24:01.74\00:24:04.94
FIVE HUNDRED PEOPLE A DAY.
00:24:04.97\00:24:06.84
WELL, ANYWAY FOR PEOPLE TO BE
ABLE TO GET ABOUT AND DO THE
GOSPEL WORK IN THAT
00:24:06.88\00:24:11.95
ENVIRONMENT IS AN INTERVENTION
OF GOD'S GRACE AND MERCY.
00:24:14.28\00:24:18.42
YES.
00:24:18.45\00:24:19.85
JOHN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR BRINGING US THESE VERY, VERY
00:24:19.89\00:24:26.39
REAL STORIES OF LIFE AND WHAT
HAPPENS IN THE AREAS WHERE
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS INVOLVED.
00:24:26.43\00:24:33.17
AH, AS YOU SAW THOSE CHILDREN
IN SOME OF THOSE VIDEOS THEY ARE
00:24:33.20\00:24:38.27
STANDING AROUND, THEY ARE
SINGING, THEY ARE PARTICIPATING-
IN YOUR MIND RIGHT NOW IN
00:24:40.28\00:24:43.81
ABOUT ONE MINUTE CAN YOU THINK
OF SOMEBODY THAT WAS IN ONE OF
00:24:43.85\00:24:48.98
THOSE EXPERIENCES THAT IS A
PARTICULAR STORY THAT IMPRESSED
00:24:49.02\00:24:53.36
YOU? SOMEBODY YOU SAW THERE, AH,
THAT WOW, THAT'S WHAT LIFE AND
00:24:53.39\00:24:58.46
WORK IS LIKE IN THAT PLACE?
00:25:00.63\00:25:02.06
WELL I LOOK AT THOSE YOUNG
PEOPLE WHO WERE BAPTIZED IN OUR
STORY AND THEY WERE
00:25:02.10\00:25:06.67
GIVEN BIBLES, TALKING BIBLES, UH
HUH, AND I THOUGHT YES, THAT'S
00:25:08.77\00:25:13.01
WHAT WE NEED IN BANGLADESH.
00:25:13.04\00:25:16.88
WE NEED MORE TALKING BIBLES
BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE CAN'T READ
00:25:16.91\00:25:22.72
AND THIS IS
VERY, VERY EFFECTIVE.
00:25:22.75\00:25:24.02
THIS IS SOMETHING
THAT GOSPEL OUTREACH DOES.
00:25:24.05\00:25:26.49
WE PROVIDE THESE TALKING BIBLES
FOR -REMIND US WHAT DOES IT COST
00:25:26.52\00:25:32.93
TO PROVIDE A TALKING BIBLE?
00:25:32.96\00:25:34.36
I THINK IT COSTS ABOUT I THINK
IT IS ABOUT $20, I THINK FOR ONE
00:25:34.36\00:25:40.87
OF THOSE. BUT THEY HAVE BIBLE
STUDIES ON THESE TALKING BIBLES
00:25:40.90\00:25:44.94
AS WELL AS SCRIPTURE.
00:25:44.97\00:25:45.91
THEY DO, THEY DO YES, YES.
00:25:45.94\00:25:47.34
SO IT WOULD BE A VERY EFFECTIVE
WAY FOR A PERSON TO GET A
00:25:47.38\00:25:53.88
TALKING BIBLE, RETURN TO THEIR
OWN LITTLE VILLAGE AND HAVE A
COMMUNICATION IN PROCESS
00:25:53.92\00:25:58.92
OF THE GOSPEL.
00:25:58.95\00:26:00.89
YES, THAT OTHERWISE
WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE.
00:26:00.92\00:26:02.92
YES.
00:26:02.96\00:26:03.93
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:26:03.96\00:26:05.39
AGAIN, BROTHER JOHN THANK YOU
FOR WHO YOU ARE AND YOUR
WILLINGNESS TO HAVE
00:26:05.43\00:26:09.83
GOD USE YOU IN WORKING WITH
THOSE PEOPLE AND ENCOURAGING
00:26:09.86\00:26:15.87
THEM BUT ALSO YOUR WILLINGNESS
TO PUT THESE VIDEOS TOGETHER SO
THE REST OF US WHO DIDN'T
00:26:15.90\00:26:21.91
GO THERE DON'T HAVE THE SAME
CONTACT THAT YOU HAVE WE CAN
UNDERSTAND, WE KNOW
00:26:21.94\00:26:26.35
