MASSEY IS HERE WITH US. 00:28 WELCOME. 00:29 THANK YOU SO MUCH DICK. 00:30 NOW ARE YOU GOING TO SPEAK IN HINDI TODAY OR ENGLISH. 00:32 OH YES, I DEFINITELY SHOULD SPEAK IN HINDI SO THAT ALL OUR

PEOPLE OF ANDHRA PRADESH MEET THE GOD THEY DIDN'T KNOW. 00:52 WOW. 00:53 YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE MADE MANY TRIPS TO INDIA AND YOU HAVE SEEN PEOPLE 01:01 BUILDING THESE IDOLS. 01:02 YES. 01:03 AND SELLING THEM. 01:04 YES. 01:06 SOME OF THEM WILL BE PLACED IN THE TEMPLE, SOME OF THEM IN THE HOUSE 01:08 TEMPLE. 01:09 AND SOME OF THEM IN LONG PARADES DOWN THE ROAD. 01:12 THAT'S RIGHT. 01:13 AND I TELL YOU, THAT IS ALL HUMAN YEARNING FOR SEARCHING FOR SOMEONE 01:20 BIGGER THAN THEMSELVES. 01:21 NOW WAIT A MINUTE. 01:23 THAT'S NOT THE WAY TYPICALLY WE LOOK AT IDOLATRY. 01:25 YOU SEE, THIS IS OUR, THIS IS OUR BIAS. 01:30 THIS IS OUR BIAS. 01:32 WE THINK THAT EVERYBODY WHO IS DOING THINGS IS WRONG. 01:39 AND EVERYBODY IS DOING THINGS TO SEARCH FOR SOMETHING THAT THEY 01:43 HAVEN'T FOUND YET. 01:45 AND PAUL WAS WALKING AROUND IN ATHENS. 01:49 DO YOU SEE HIM SAYING WHAT A BUNCH OF IDOL WORSHIPPERS. 01:54 WHAT HORRIBLE PEOPLE. 01:55 THEY'RE WASTING THEIR TIME, THEY'RE WASTING THEIR LIFE. 01:58 THEY'RE WASTING GOD GIVEN RESOURCES. 02:00 CAN YOU IMAGINE PAUL WALKING AROUND LIKE THAT? 02:02 NO, NOT AT ALL. 02:04 NO, HE LOOKS AT IT AND HE COMES BACK TO THEM AND HE SAYS, LISTEN YOU PEOPLE 02:07 ARE VERY RELIGIOUS. 02:09 LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT ANOTHER GOD THAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT HIM BUT LET ME 02:13 TELL YOU THAT. 02:14 AND WHAT DID THEY DO. 02:16 THEY WERE ALL HUNGRY TO LISTEN. 02:17 YOU SEE WITHOUT CONDEMNATION WE SHARE WITH PEOPLE WHAT WE BELIEVE 02:24 INSTEAD OF TEARING DOWN WHAT THEY HAVE. 02:28 TIME WILL COME WHEN THEY WILL HAVE LESS LOVE FOR THE UNREAL STUFF. 02:34 WHAT DOES THE PSALM SAY, TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS. 02:37 CAN I TELL YOU A STORY? 02:38 YES. 02:40 FALAKATA, INDIA AND WE'RE WORKING AT A SCHOOL AND WE'RE HELPING REBUILD PART 02:46 OF THE SCHOOL AND DOING SOME BIBLE CLASSES AND LOTS OF CLINICS AND I'M 02:51 WALKING. 02:52 ONE AFTERNOON I WAS ALONE AND SO I WAS JUST WALKING DOWN THE STREET IN 02:56 FALAKATA AND A YOUNG BOY CAME RUNNING UP TO ME AND HE SAID PASTOR, PASTOR YOU 03:02 PREACHED AT SCHOOL YESTERDAY, YOU FOR ASSEMBLY, VERY GOOD. 03:07 COME I WANT YOU TO MEET MY FATHER. 03:09 WOW. 03:10 SO I GO TO THE HOME OF THIS HINDU STUDENT AT THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST 03:15 SCHOOL AND HIS FATHER SHOWS ME WHAT HE DOES. 03:21 HE MAKES HINDU IDOLS FOR FAMILIES TO PUT IN THEIR HOMES AND HE HAS THE STRAW 03:27 AND THE CLAY AND THE PAINT AND HE IS SO PROUD OF THE JOB HE DOES. 03:31 AND SO I SAID, WHY DO YOU SEND YOUR CHILD TO THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST 03:35 SCHOOL. 03:36 AND HE SAID, YOU KNOW IT IS THE ONLY PLACE IN TOWN WHERE THEY TEACH VALUES 03:44 LIKE GOD WOULD TEACH. 03:45 AMEN. 03:46 WHAT A WHAT A TESTIMONY. 03:48 THAT'S THE SAME THING THAT PAUL EXPERIENCED. 03:51 WHAT AN EXPERIENCE. 03:52 THAT IS WHAT PAUL EXPERIENCED. 03:54 HIS ATTITUDE AND HIS WHOLE METHOD OF SHARING. 03:58 HEY, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. 04:00 NOW OUR VIEWERS MAY HAVE HEARD THIS STORY BEFORE BUT I WANT TO REPEAT IT 04:04 BECAUSE IT FITS SO WELL. 04:06 TELL IT AGAIN. 04:07 MY MOTHER DID NOT HAVE A CHILD NINE YEARS AFTER MARRIAGE. 04:13 SO MY FATHER LOVED HER DEARLY BUT SHE WAS CONSIDERED TO BE A CURSED 04:19 WOMAN WHO HAS CURSED THE FAMILY. 04:22 AND SO HE TOOK HER TO BATHE IN DIFFERENT RIVERS AS THE HINDUS YOU SEE AND 04:27 TO BATHE UNDER TREES. 04:29 WE HAVE MANY SACRED TREES. 04:31 AND HE CAME BACK SO DISAPPOINTED. 04:33 AND SOMEBODY MET HIM AT THE FARM AND WE HAD NO IDEA WHO THIS PERSON WAS 04:38 DRESSED IN WHITE. 04:40 AND HE SAID TO MY DAD, HE ASKED HIM, HE SAID WHAT WAS THIS PILGRIMAGE ALL 04:43 ABOUT. 04:45 MY DAD HAD NOT TOLD ANYBODY ABOUT IT. 04:47 HE WAS DOING THIS SECRETLY. 04:49 AND HE SAID WELL, HE SAID LOOK, YOU DON'T NEED TO ASK FOR A CHILD FROM THE 04:56 RIVERS OR UNDER THE TREES IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED. 05:01 AND HE SAID WELL WHO IS THIS GOD. 05:03 HE SAID HIS NAME IS JESUS. 05:05 YOU ASK HIM AND HE WILL GIVE YOU A CHILD. 05:08 WELL MY FATHER, HE HAD A SMALL LITTLE TEMPLE IN HIS HOME. 05:12 HE USED TO WORSHIP THERE. 05:14 SO HE PUT ONE MORE PICTURE, NOT A PICTURE BUT A PAPER THERE SAYING GOD 05:19 JESUS. 05:20 SO HE STARTED WORSHIPING JESUS THE GOD HE DIDN'T KNOW. 05:24 AND SO NINE MONTHS LATER HE HAD A CHILD. 05:28 AND THIS CHILD HAD CLUBBED FEET, TOTALLY CLUBBED FEET. 05:32 AND THE NURSE WOULDN'T GIVE THE NEWS, THE MIDWIFE, AND SHE SAID 05:35 WELL, HE'S A BOY BUT CURSED. 05:39 WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM A CURSED WOMAN. 05:42 SO MY FATHER ASKED HER CAN HE TALK. 05:46 SHE SAID YES, HE'S YELLING HIS LUNGS OUT, I SUPPOSE HE CAN TALK. 05:50 AND HE NAMED HIS CHILD MANZOOR MASSEY. 05:56 MASSEY MEANS JESUS. 05:58 HE WAS NAMING ME AFTER JESUS BECAUSE JESUS HAD GIVEN HIM THIS CHILD. 06:05 AND THAT IS WHEN HE OPENLY STARTED WORSHIPING JESUS SAYING LOOK HE GAVE ME A 06:13 CHILD. 06:14 NO OTHER GOD GAVE ME ANYTHING. 06:16 SO A YEAR OR TWO LATER SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST PASTORS, TWO OF THEM 06:20 SHOWED UP. 06:21 ONE OF THEM WAS THE OLD DIVISION PRESIDENT O. 06:25 O. 06:26 MATTISON. 06:27 AND ANOTHER PERSON WITH HIM AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WANTED TO HOLD AN 06:32 EVANGELISTIC MEETING HERE AND EXPLAINED THE FAITH FROM THE BIBLE. 06:36 TELLING WHO JESUS IS. 06:38 YES. 06:39 AND HE SAID WELL FIRST TELL ME WHICH DAY IS THE SABBATH. 06:44 BECAUSE HE HAD READ THE BIBLE ON HIS OWN THAT SOME COWBOYS HAD GIVEN HIM FROM 06:49 THE RIVER BED. 06:51 SO IN THAT BIBLE THE DAYS OF THE WEEK WERE LISTED AND ON FRIDAY THE SIXTH 06:58 DAY OF THE WEEK JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED. 07:02 AND ON SATURDAY THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK HE RESTED AND ON SUNDAY THE 07:07 FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK. 07:08 SO HE HAD THIS BIBLE IN HIS LANGUAGE, URDU. 07:12 SO HE HAD BEEN KEEPING THE SABBATH NOW AND TALKING TO JESUS. 07:16 SO HE TOLD THEM, FIRST TELL ME WHICH DAY IS THE SABBATH. 07:20 AND YOU KNOW OUR MINISTERS USUALLY DON'T WANT TO TELL YOU RIGHT OUT, THEY WANT 07:24 TO EXPLAIN CHAPTER BY CHAPTER AND ALL. 07:27 AND HE SAID YOU CAN'T HOLD THE MEETINGS UNLESS YOU TELL ME WHICH DAY IS THE 07:30 SABBATH. 07:31 SO FINALLY HE GOT OUT OF THEM IT IS SATURDAY. 07:35 THEN HE TOLD THEM YOU BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE YOU CAN HOLD THE MEETINGS. 07:39 SO THAT BOY WHO HAD CROOKED FEET. 07:41 HE HAD TAKEN A BOTTLE OF OIL AND PRAYED OVER IT, IF YOU COULD GIVE ME A CHILD 07:46 YOU COULD STRAIGHTEN OUT HIS FEET AND IN SIX MONTHS MY FEET WERE STRAIGHT. 07:52 BEFORE OR AFTER THE EVANGELISTIC SERIES? 07:54 OH BEFORE THE EVANGELISTIC SERIES. 07:56 LONG TIME BEFORE. 07:57 LONG TIME BEFORE. 07:58 MY FEET WERE STRAIGHT IN SIX MONTHS. 08:00 THAT'S WHAT HE WAS NOW SAYING, THIS JESUS THAT I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT HE IS 08:06 THE TRUE GOD. 08:07 SO HE WAS ALL READY. 08:08 AND THE WAY HE KNEW THAT WAS BECAUSE GOD ANSWERED. 08:11 GOD ANSWERED HIS PRAYER AND GOD IS WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET 08:17 THIS CHILD IN HIS FAMILY. 08:19 WE LIMIT HIM. 08:21 THAT'S TURE. 08:22 WE LIMIT HIM, WE PUT HIM OUTSIDE THE FIELD. 08:26 THAT'S TRUE. 08:27 WE'VE GOT TO START REACHING OUT TO PEOPLE THAT WE THINK ARE NOT 08:32 WORTHY TO SHARE OUR TABLE. 08:34 LET ME BEGIN TO LOVE OUR WORST ENEMY JUST LIKE WE LOVE OUR FIRST BORN. 08:43 THEN WE ARE GOING SOMEWHERE. 08:44 THAT'S HARD. 08:45 THEN WE ARE GOING SOMEWHERE. 08:46 THAT'S HARD. 08:47 YOU SEE, AND OUR LOVE FOR GOD IS DIRECTLY IN PROPORTION TO OUR LOVE FOR 08:53 OUR WORST ENEMY. 08:55 THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT GOD DID. 08:58 WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY? 08:59 WHEN WE WERE SINNERS HE CAME AND FOUND US. 09:03 JESUS DIED FOR US. 09:04 YES. 09:05 AND I WANT TO THANK GOSPEL OUTREACH LISTENERS. 09:07 I CANNOT THANK THEM ENOUGH FOR KEEPING THIS LIGHT BURNING. 09:13 WE ARE IN 51 COUNTRIES WHERE 97 PERCENT OF THE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW JESUS. 09:18 THEY LIVE IN THESE COUNTRIES. 09:21 CAN YOU IMAGINE EVERY VIEWER WHO IS SACRIFICING IS PART OF A MUCH BIGGER 09:27 PICTURE OF GOD'S SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAM. 09:30 SO YOU GOT A LITTLE HOUSE IN INDIANA AND I'M SIXTY-EIGHT, I'M HOME, 09:38 IT'S COLD IN THE WINTER, I'M WATCHING GOSPEL OUTREACH ON MY TELEVISION. 09:43 I SEE MYSELF AS ONE PERSON IN THIS TINY LITTLE COLD HOUSE. 09:48 BUT WHAT I REALLY CAN SAY IS I'M ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN A BIG WARM WORLD. 09:53 AMEN. 09:54 I TELL YOU ONE VERY QUICK EXPERIENCE. 09:57 I GET THE OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE I'M ASSOCIATED WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH. 10:01 IT'S BEEN SUCH A BLESSING TO ME. 10:03 IT'S JUST OPENED YOUR WORLD. 10:04 IT HAS OPENED DOORS FOR ME. 10:05 I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS WORK SINCE 1974 ON MY OWN. 10:09 THEN PASTOR JAMES CAMPBELL INTRODUCED ME TO GOSPEL OUTREACH AND I TELL YOU 10:13 IT'S BEEN FASCINATING. 10:15 I STILL DO THE SAME THINGS BUT I DO IT IN A MUCH BIGGER WAY. 10:20 I HAD JUST GIVEN A SPEECH TO A GROUP OF PEOPLE ON GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKING 10:26 AROUND THE WORLD. 10:27 AND THIS ONE LADY DASHED OFF THE STAGE TO COME DIRECTLY TO SEE ME. 10:32 AND SHE TELLS ME, SHE SAYS, I'M SO HAPPY TO HEAR YOU. 10:38 I GIVE TWO DOLLARS EVERY MONTH TO GOSPEL OUTREACH. 10:42 AND SHE WAS SO PROUD OF IT. 10:45 AND I HUGGED HER AND I SAID, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THOSE TWO DOLLARS DO 10:50 FOR US. 10:51 IT IS BECAUSE OF SACRIFICES LIKE YOU MAKE THAT WE ARE IN 51 10:56 COUNTRIES. 10:57 HERE SHE FELT SHE WAS PERSONALLY OUT THERE IN 51 COUNTRIES. 11:01 MY FRIENDS WHO ARE LISTENING TO THIS PROGRAM THEY WILL NEVER KNOW THE 11:08 EFFECT OF THEIR SACRIFICE, HOW SMALL IT MAY BE. 11:12 ONLY IN HEAVEN WE WILL KNOW THAT THERE ARE BROTHERS AND SISTERS 11:16 AROUND THE TABLE LOOKING AT JESUS AND SAYING AREN'T WE GLAD YOU HAD THESE 11:21 PEOPLE OVER THERE YOU SEE. 11:23 AND CAN YOU SEE AN ANGEL COMING UP AND PUTTING HIS ARM AROUND YOU AND SAYING 11:27 THERE'S SOMEBODY I WANT YOU TO MEET. 11:29 AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN A LITTLE VILLAGE IN INDIA WITH THE 11:33 RESULTS OF YOUR SACRIFICE. 11:34 WE'LL STOP JUST A MOMENT AND I'D LIKE TO TAKE ONE MINUTE AND SHARE A QUICK 11:42 LITTLE COMMERCIAL THAT CHALLENGES YOU ON WAYS YOU CAN BECOME PART OF GO. 11:47 I NEED TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL HERE AT HOME. 11:53 WHERE IS THE 10/40 WINDOW ANYWAY? 11:57 THOSE PEOPLE LIVE TOO FAR AWAY. 11:59 SOMEONE ELSE CAN TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS. 12:02 MAYBE THEY COULD JUST WATCH TV. 12:05 NEARLY THREE BILLION PEOPLE TO REACH. 12:08 MY HEAD HURTS. 12:09 THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO. 12:12 I GIVE UP. 12:13 WHAT'S THE POINT OF TRYING? 12:15 I CAN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE. 12:18 ACTUALLY YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. 12:21 AND JESUS ASKED YOU TO GO TO ALL THE WORLD. 12:25 WHERE? 12:26 ALL THE WORLD. 12:28 HOW CAN I GO, I HAVE COMMITMENTS. 12:30 YOU CAN PRAY. 12:32 YOU CAN VOLUNTEER YOUR TALENTS. 12:37 YOU CAN TELL OTHERS. 12:41 YOU CAN GIVE MONEY TO SPONSOR BIBLE WORKERS. 12:44 MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE SEARCHING FOR HOPE AND MEANING. 12:47 BUT THEY WON'T FIND IT WITHOUT YOU. 12:49 BE THE SPARK. 12:50 LIGHT THE FIRE. 12:52 FINISH THE WORK. 12:55 FINISH THE WORK. 12:57 BE THE SPARK. 12:59 BE THE SPARK. 13:01 I LOVE THAT. 13:02 NOW OUR GUEST TODAY IS MANZOOR MASSEY. 13:07 MASSEY? 13:08 MASSEY. 13:09 MASSEY, IS THAT THE CORRECT WAY TO SAY IT? 13:11 IT'S NOT MACY IT IS MASSEY. 13:12 IT'S MASSEY BUT IT MEANS JESUS? 13:14 IT'S A DERIVATIVE MESSIAH. 13:17 OKAY. 13:18 OF THE MESSIAH. 13:19 AND SO WHEN YOUR FATHER NAMED YOU IT WAS MASSEY, WHICH MEANS JESUS AND 13:25 ENGLISHIZED IT'S MASSEY. 13:26 OKAY, BUT IF I GO BACK HERE WHAT IS MANZOOR? 13:29 MANZOOR MEANS ACCEPTABLE. 13:30 ACCEPTABLE TO JESUS. 13:33 NOW THAT'S COOL. 13:34 ISN'T THAT A GOOD NAME. 13:35 THAT'S COOL, I LIKE THAT. 13:36 I BET ALL OUR VIEWERS ARE NOW SAYING WOW, THIS MAN IS ACCEPTABLE TO JESUS. 13:40 YES, HE ACCEPTS EVERYBODY INCLUDING ME. 13:43 I LIKE THAT. 13:44 WHAT DO YOUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS DO IN INDIA? 13:47 WELL I WANT TO SHOW SOME SLIDES. 13:49 WE HAVE WHAT WE CALL THE SERVICE-BASED MINISTRY FOR THE FAMILY OF GOD. 13:56 I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT COMING TO JESUS MUST CHANGE EVERYTHING ABOUT A 14:01 PERSON. 14:02 THEY SHOULD HAVE A BETTER LIFE, THEY SHOULD HAVE BETTER EDUCATION, BETTER 14:06 PHYSICAL HEALTH, SPIRITUAL HEALTH AND ECONOMIC HEALTH. 14:13 THAT COVERS IT ALL. 14:14 THAT COVERS IT ALL AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE HELPING PEOPLE BECOME 14:20 BETTER PEOPLE. 14:21 NOT JUST INTELLECTUALLY, NOT JUST BY WORDS. 14:24 NOT JUST SPIRITUALLY. 14:26 YES, NOT JUST SPIRITUALLY, BUT THIS TOUCHES EVERY PART OF YOUR LIFE. 14:29 EVERY PART OF YOUR LIFE. 14:30 WE LOVE PEOPLE. 14:31 WE DON'T LOVE JUST THEIR COMING TO CHURCH. 14:34 WE LOVE THEM. 14:36 WE'RE NOT LOVING TO FILL OUT OUR ATTENDANCE RECORD. 14:39 WE LOVE THEM BECAUSE THEIR PART OF OUR FAMILY. 14:43 WE DON'T LOVE BAPTISMS, WE LOVE INDIVIDUALS. 14:45 THAT'S RIGHT. 14:46 WE DON'T LOVE BAPTISMS BUT WE LOVE INDIVIDUALS. 14:48 DOCTORS DON'T HAVE DISEASES, THEY DON'T KILL DISEASES, THEY HELP 14:52 PEOPLE. 14:53 I LOVE IT. 14:54 OKAY, SO THAT'S SERVICE BASED. 14:55 SO HERE WE FIND --------------IN INDIA. 14:58 YOU SEE IN THIS SLIDE WE HAVE SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND VILLAGES IN INDIA. 15:05 WE HAVE THE MOST MODERN CITIES AND THE MOST MODERN FASHIONS. 15:09 JUST LIKE HERE THERE IS HOLLYWOOD, WE GOT BOLLYWOOD. 15:11 BOLLYWOOD, THAT'S RIGHT. 15:13 BUT WE ALSO HAVE VILLAGE LIFE AND WE WANT TO START, WE ARE STARTING THE 15:18 NEED-BASED MINISTRY. 15:20 NEED-BASED MINISTRY IS THE METHOD OF JESUS. 15:23 YOU SEE WHAT YOUR PEOPLE NEED. 15:25 AND WHEN I TEACH PEOPLE HERE WHO GREW UP IN THIS COUNTRY I SHARE WITH THEM 15:30 THAT YOU SHOULD DIVIDE YOUR CHURCH INTO CELLS OF SIX. 15:33 EVERY WEEK YOU PRAY TOGETHER. 15:36 IN A GROUP OF SIX. 15:37 IN A GROUP OF SIX. 15:38 OKAY. 15:39 AND YOU SELECT ONE FAMILY FROM INSIDE THE CHURCH AND ONE FAMILY FROM OUTSIDE 15:43 THE CHURCH. 15:44 TOGETHER THE SIX PEOPLE WILL MEET THE NEEDS OF THESE TWO FAMILIES. 15:49 WITHIN SIX MONTHS DICK THE FAMILY THAT'S INSIDE THE CHURCH SAYS, OH, I'M 15:55 LOVED. 15:56 THIS IS A LOVING HEALING CENTER. 16:00 WHERE WOULD I GO. 16:01 THIS IS MY FAMILY. 16:03 AND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE OUTSIDE THEY SAY, NO BODY EVERY CARED ABOUT US LIKE 16:07 THIS. 16:08 WE ARE CREATED TO LOVE AND WE ARE CREATED TO LOVE AND THAT'S HOW SERVICE 16:15 EMANATES. 16:17 NOW YOU'VE GOT ME GOING BECAUSE IF WE DID THAT IN OUR CONGREGATION AND 16:22 BRENDA AND I WERE PART OF A GROUP THAT NEEDED TO ADOPT ANOTHER FAMILY, I 16:25 KNOW A FAMILY WE COULD ADOPT. 16:28 BUT WHAT COULD YOU DO? 16:30 YOU PRAY AND BECOME THEIR FRIENDS. 16:32 THE GREATEST NEED OF EVERY HUMAN BEING IS THE NEED TO BE LOVED, ACCEPTED AND BE 16:39 PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER. 16:41 SO YESTERDAY WHEN MY CELL PHONE RANG IN WASHINGTON STATE AND IT WAS A 16:48 SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA MEMBER AND THE GIRL ON THE OTHER END SAID, DICK IS 16:53 THERE A CHANCE THAT YOUR IN TOWN TODAY SO THAT YOU OR YOUR WIFE COULD PICK MY 16:57 CHILDREN UP AT SCHOOL. 16:59 I HAVE A PROBLEM. 17:00 ISN'T THAT A GREAT DEMONSTRATION OF WHAT JESUS WOULD HAVE DONE. 17:04 HE WOULD HAVE IMMEDIATELY DONE THAT. 17:07 YOU KNOW SOMETHING THAT I DON'T TALK ABOUT VERY MUCH. 17:11 NEAR MY HOME WE HAVE A CEMETERY. 17:14 AND ALMOST EVERY DAY YOU'VE GOT TENTS PITCHED THERE AND PEOPLE ARE 17:20 GATHERING AND ALL. 17:21 AND AT TIMES I WILL SIMPLY SHOW UP. 17:24 I DON'T KNOW ANY BODY AND I DON'T KNOW WHO DIED. 17:28 I SIMPLY GO THERE AND I'LL MINGLE IN THE CROWD. 17:31 AND THEY THINK I'M PART OF THE THING AND MAYBE A FRIEND OR RELATIVE OR 17:35 BUSINESS PARTNER. 17:36 AND I SIMPLY HANG OUT THERE AND SOMEBODY WILL ASK ME, SO HOW DO YOU KNOW 17:40 HIM. 17:42 I SAY, WELL YOU KNOW WHEN ANYBODY DIES A LITTLE BIT OF US DIES WITH THEM. 17:47 WE ARE NEVER THE SAME AGAIN. 17:49 WE ARE ALL PART OF GOD'S FAMILY AND I GRIEVE FOR THE FAMILY. 17:53 CAN YOU INTRODUCE ME TO THE FAMILY. 17:55 AND I WILL SIMPLY PUT MY ARM AROUND THE SON OR DAUGHTER OR WIFE AND I 18:01 WILL SAY I REALLY FEEL FOR YOUR LOSS. 18:04 NOW THEY DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO INTERVIEW YOU SAYING HOW DO YOU KNOW US 18:10 BUT THEY ARE VERY HAPPY THAT I WAS THERE. 18:14 AND I SLIP THEM MY CARD AND SAY IF I CAN EVER BE HELPFUL PLEASE CALL ME. 18:19 FAMILY. 18:20 FAMILY. 18:21 REACHING CONSTANTLY OUT AS FAMILY. 18:23 I DO NOT SEE PEOPLE AS BELONGING TO OTHER RELIGIONS, BELONGING TO 18:29 OTHER COLORS, BELONGING TO ANY OTHER CHURCH. 18:32 I PREACH IN BAPTIST CHURCHES MANY TIMES AND THEY WILL SAY HEY PASTOR, 18:37 WE REALLY NEED YOU HERE. 18:38 ONE QUICK STORY ABOUT THIS. 18:42 A BAPTIST PASTOR FRIEND OF MINE, I INVITED HIM TO BE HOMELESS WITH ME. 18:47 SO HE AND I BECAME HOMELESS AND WE WALKED THE STREETS JUST TO SEE HOW 18:53 POOR PEOPLE LIVE AND HOW THEY'RE TREATED. 18:55 YOU DON'T LOOK VERY POOR THOUGH. 18:57 WELL I DON'T BUT. 18:58 DID YOU REALLY MESS UP YOUR HAIR AND YOUR CLOTHES. 19:00 WELL, I HAD A WIG. 19:04 OH REALLY. 19:05 AND IF I SAW MYSELF IN THE STREET I WOULDN'T GO NEAR. 19:08 SO YOU AND THE BAPTIST PASTOR WENT AND DID THIS TOGETHER. 19:10 YES. 19:12 AND WE WENT TO A LOT OF CHURCHES EVEN DURING THEIR PRAYER MEETINGS. 19:16 THAT'S A TOPIC FOR ANOTHER TIME, BUT I WANT TO TELL YOU THE IDEA IS WE'VE GOT 19:22 PEOPLE WITH BROKEN HEARTS. 19:23 YES. 19:24 BROKEN HOMES, CRYING ALL AROUND US. 19:29 IF WE ARE NOT ACTIVE RIGHT WHERE WE ARE WE WON'T DO THE ACTIVITY WHERE ELSE IN 19:34 THE WORLD. 19:35 SO HOW DID THIS WORK IN INDIA. 19:37 SO SERVICE BASED MINISTRY. 19:38 I WANT TO QUICKLY GO THROUGH SOME SLIDES. 19:40 OKAY. 19:41 HERE LITERACY. 19:43 YOU KNOW THAT MORE THAN 50 PERCENT OF THE WORLD CANNOT READ AND WRITE. 19:50 IT'S A TERRIFYING STATISTIC BUT I KNOW IT'S TRUE. 19:52 IT'S A TERRIFYING STATISTIC BUT MANY OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLERS WHO 19:56 GRADUATED CANNOT READ AND WRITE HERE IN THIS COUNTRY WHERE WE SPEND SO MUCH 20:00 MONEY ON EDUCATION. 20:01 THIS IS A BIG NEED. 20:03 WE PARTNER WITH MANY MANY ORGANIZATIONS. 20:06 THERE ARE LITERACY PROGRAMS. 20:07 EVERY ONE OF OUR CHURCHES OUGHT TO BECOME A LITERACY CENTER. 20:10 AND IN INDIA GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS ARE HELPING THAT HAPPEN. 20:14 I AM PROMOTING THIS TO OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS THAT THEY SHOULD START 20:18 ADULT LITERACY TEACHING PEOPLE HOW TO READ THE BIBLE. 20:22 THEN THEY CAN BECOME MEMBERS OF THE SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAM WITH THE 20:26 PASTOR. 20:27 YES, I LOVE IT. 20:28 AND SO THEIR TEACHING HINDI, THEY'RE NOT TEACHING ENGLISH. 20:30 NO, NO, THEY'RE TEACHING WHATEVER LANGUAGE IS NECESSARY. 20:33 OKAY. 20:34 AND WE HAVE STARTED MANY LITERACY CENTERS. 20:37 WE COUPLE THOSE LITERACY CENTERS WITH OCCUPATIONAL TRAINING. 20:41 OKAY. 20:42 WE DO THAT FOR TAILORING CENTERS ALONG WITH THE LITERACY. 20:45 THIS IS FOR GIRLS WHO DID NOT GO TO SCHOOL. 20:48 NOW THEY ARE OLD ENOUGH TO GET MARRIED BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A SKILL. 20:52 IN MANY CASES THEY'LL HAVE TO PAY A HEFTY DOWRY BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE A 20:55 SKILL. 20:56 THEIR VALUE IS LOWER ACCORDING TO THEIR SOCIETY. 20:59 SO ONCE THEY LEARN WE GIVE THEM THE SEWING MACHINE AND THEY CAN START THEIR 21:04 OWN BUSINESS. 21:05 THEY HAVE VALUE. 21:07 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY'RE SO PROUD. 21:09 THEY CAN MAKE A LIVING AND SUPPORT THEIR FAMILY. 21:12 REMEMBER WHAT I TOLD YOU THAT COMING TO JESUS MUST INCLUDE EVERYTHING. 21:17 EVERYTHING ABOUT LIFE. 21:18 EVERYTHING ABOUT WHAT'S IN LIFE. 21:20 AND ME, YOU, AS GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS HAVE GOT TO FOCUS ON HELPING PEOPLE 21:25 DO THAT. 21:26 OH YES, AMEN. 21:27 GOD HAS SENT US HERE TO HELP. 21:30 ISN'T THAT WHAT GOD DOES FULL TIME. 21:32 THAT'S RIGHT. 21:33 WE MAY DO ONLY PART TIME BUT GOD IS DOING THIS FULL TIME. 21:36 IF JESUS HAD HAD ACCESS TO SEWING MACHINES I HAVE A FEELING HE WOULD HAVE 21:39 GIVEN MANY AWAY. 21:41 HE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE SHOWN THEM HOW TO, OKAY, BACK TO YOUR SLIDES. 21:43 HERE'S ANOTHER, WATER. 21:44 OH MY, YES, YES. 21:45 WATER. 21:47 THE BIGGEST HEALTH PROBLEM AROUND THE WORLD IS UNSANITARY WATER. 21:55 THAT'S RIGHT. 21:56 EVEN IN AMERICA. 21:58 DO YOU DRINK BOTTLED WATER OR DO YOU DRINK STRAIGHT FROM THE TAP. 21:59 YOU SEE, WE HAVE WATER PROBLEMS HERE BUT THINK ABOUT OVER SEAS. 22:05 IT'S CHALLENGING. 22:07 WE HAVE SUCH A HORRENDOUS PROBLEM. 22:09 LET'S GO TO ANOTHER SLIDE. 22:11 I WANT TO STOP YOU JUST A SECOND. 22:14 SO THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER HAS BEEN TRAINED OR IS BEING TRAINED TO HELP 22:19 DEAL WITH SAFE WATER ISSUES? 22:21 HE IS BEING TRAINED, AWESOME, TO TELL PEOPLE HOW TO LIVE IN A HYGIENIC 22:27 CONDITION. 22:28 ANYBODY CAN TAKE THAT WATER AND MAKE IT GOOD. 22:30 ALL IT TAKES IS MANAGEMENT. 22:31 ANY BODY CAN YES. 22:32 AND ALSO STARVATION. 22:34 YES. 22:35 YOU KNOW THE RIGHT FOOD. 22:36 RIGHT FOOD. 22:37 WE PARTNER WITH THE ROTARY CLUB. 22:40 THE ROTARY CLUB HAS A PROJECT CALLED PEANUT BUTTER PROJECT. 22:43 PEANUT BUTTER HAS LOTS OF PROTEIN AND SO IMMEDIATELY WHEN YOU GIVE TO THE 22:48 STARVING KIDS PEANUT BUTTER, THEY REVIVE VERY QUICKLY. 22:53 AND SO THEY HAVE A VERY A --------------. 22:55 AND THEN THE NEXT THING WE TEACH THEM IS JUST TO BE FRIENDS. 23:00 MAKE FRIENDS FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD. 23:02 I LOVE YOUR PICTURE BY THE WAY. 23:03 YOU GOT TO BE FRIENDS. 23:04 YOU SEE PEOPLE NEED FRIENDS. 23:07 YES THEY DO. 23:08 AND THEY WILL NEVER SAY NO I DON'T NEED YOU TO BE MY FRIEND. 23:11 NO, NO ONE WILL DO THAT. 23:13 YOU SEE, USE SIMPLE NONTHREATENING, NONCONTROVERSIAL WAYS TO 23:18 GET CLOSE TO PEOPLE'S HEARTS. 23:20 SO THIS IS THE BRIDGE THAT WE BUILD SO PEOPLE CAN WALK OVER IT, COME TO US 23:26 AND SAY TELL ME MORE ABOUT JESUS. 23:28 CAN I CHALLENGE YOU TO SAY SERVICE AND PLAY. 23:33 OH, EXPLAIN TO ME A LITTLE ABOUT THAT. 23:35 WELL, I LOOK AT THIS PICTURE OF THE THE TWO GRIZZLIES. 23:37 PLAY IS SOMETHING THAT REALLY
