[OPENING MUSIC].
00:00:00.43\00:00:15.88
WELCOME TO ADVENTURES IN
MISSIONS, GOSPEL OUTREACHES'
00:00:15.91\00:00:19.65
PROGRAM TO INTRODUCE YOU TO
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS WHO ARE
DILIGENTLY SHARING CHRIST
00:00:19.68\00:00:24.55
ALL AROUND THE WORLD.
00:00:24.59\00:00:26.59
OUR GUEST TODAY IS
ZDRAVKO STEFANOVIC.
00:00:26.62\00:00:29.46
IS THAT CLOSE?
00:00:29.49\00:00:30.46
YES, THAT'S IT.
00:00:30.49\00:00:32.29
WELCOME.
00:00:32.33\00:00:33.29
THANK YOU.
00:00:33.33\00:00:34.66
ZDRAVKO LIVES IN ORLANDO
CURRENTLY WHERE HE WORKS AND
00:00:34.73\00:00:38.53
THINKS MOST OF THE TIME ABOUT
HIS HOME LAND WHERE HE IS NOW
RESPONSIBLE AS THE GOSPEL
00:00:38.57\00:00:43.14
OUTREACH COORDINATOR.
00:00:43.17\00:00:44.81
WHERE WERE YOU BORN?
00:00:44.84\00:00:46.21
IN A SMALL COUNTRY IN SOUTHERN
CENTRAL EUROPE AND THE NAME IS
00:00:46.24\00:00:51.61
BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA.
00:00:51.65\00:00:53.05
NOW WHEN I THINK BOSNIA
HERZEGOVINA I THINK WAR BECAUSE
00:00:53.08\00:00:57.49
YOU KNOW THAT'S WHAT I
REMEMBER PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT ON
00:00:57.52\00:00:59.69
TELEVISION. THE BEGINNING OF THE
FIRST WORLD WAR IN THE CITY OF
00:00:59.72\00:01:02.19
SARAJEVO. YES.
00:01:02.22\00:01:03.19
THAT'S THE CAPITAL CITY.
00:01:03.22\00:01:04.69
SO YOU'VE GOT SARAJEVO AND ALL
OF THESE CRAZY THINGS THAT HAVE
00:01:04.73\00:01:07.00
HAPPENED THERE OVER THE YEARS.
00:01:07.03\00:01:08.36
HOW MANY DIFFERENT COUNTRIES
HAVE REALLY BEEN RESPONSIBLE OR
00:01:08.40\00:01:14.10
THE BOSSES IN YOUR COUNTRY?
00:01:14.14\00:01:15.54
WELL, YOU KNOW THERE IS THE
INFLUENCE FROM THE WEST AND THAT
00:01:15.57\00:01:21.31
IS CHRISTIAN WESTERN CULTURE
THAT COMES IN AND THEN A HUGE
INFLUENCE FROM RUSSIA AND
00:01:21.34\00:01:27.38
THE ORTHODOX INFLUENCE
THAT COMES FROM THE EAST.
00:01:27.42\00:01:30.42
AND THEN ALSO FROM THE SOUTH
THERE IS MUSLIM INFLUENCE THAT
00:01:30.45\00:01:36.56
COMES FROM THE MIDDLE EAST.
00:01:36.59\00:01:38.06
SO SOME HOW MANY OF THESE
STREAMS MEET RIGHT THERE IN
BOSNIA AND IT HAS BEEN
00:01:38.09\00:01:42.80
A HISTORY WRITTEN IN
BLOOD VERY OFTEN UNFORTUNATELY.
00:01:47.70\00:01:52.74
BUT I LIKE TO BE OPTIMISTIC IN
LIFE AND I LIKE TO SAY THAT FOR
00:01:52.77\00:01:56.91
EVERY BAD NEWS IN THE WORLD
THERE MUST BE A GOOD NEWS
BECAUSE GOD IS STILL
00:01:56.95\00:02:02.28
ALIVE, GOD IS STILL ACTIVE AND
THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL NEVER QUIT
00:02:02.32\00:02:07.39
WORKING THE
HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE.
00:02:07.42\00:02:10.06
BEFORE WE BEGAN THIS PROGRAM
TODAY YOU PRAYED FOR US AND YOU
00:02:10.09\00:02:14.23
THANKED GOD THAT YOU
WERE PART OF A PEOPLE OF HOPE.
00:02:14.30\00:02:17.67
WHAT DO THOSE WORDS REALLY
MEAN TO YOU, A PEOPLE OF HOPE?
00:02:17.70\00:02:21.14
THAT MEANS THAT WE SHOULD NEVER
GROW DESPERATE IN OUR ATTEMPTS
00:02:21.17\00:02:26.24
TO FIND A NEW MEANING IN
LIFE AND TO SEE GOD AT WORK.
00:02:29.14\00:02:32.65
ONE OF THE HOBBIES THAT I HAVE
DONE FOR YEARS WAS TO PRESENT
00:02:32.68\00:02:38.75
SEMINARS IN BIBLICAL PROPHECY.
00:02:38.79\00:02:40.16
AND IT MAY BE DONE IN A NEGATIVE
WAY BUT I HAVE ALWAYS TRIED TO
00:02:40.19\00:02:45.53
TRAVEL ENOUGH AND TO BE INVOLVED
IN THE WORK OF THE CHURCH AND OF
00:02:45.56\00:02:50.73
THE MISSIONS SO THAT MOST OF MY
ILLUSTRATIONS WHEN I TALK ABOUT
00:02:50.77\00:02:55.20
THE DREAMS AND VISIONS OF
ANCIENT PROPHETS, ILLUSTRATE
THAT THE LORD IS TRUE TO HIS
00:02:55.24\00:03:00.31
PROMISES.
00:03:00.34\00:03:01.74
HE IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE
AND THE SAME POWER THAT WAS
00:03:01.78\00:03:06.51
AVAILABLE TO GOD'S PEOPLE IN THE
PAST IS AVAILABLE TO US TODAY.
00:03:06.55\00:03:09.98
STILL.
00:03:10.02\00:03:11.42
SO PEOPLE OF HOPE REALLY MEANS
THAT TODAY WE CAN HAVE THAT HOPE
00:03:11.45\00:03:14.72
AND IT'S THE SAME HOPE.
00:03:14.76\00:03:15.66
THAT'S RIGHT AND THE
WORLD NEEDS TO HEAR TOO.
00:03:15.69\00:03:18.09
VERY OFTEN WE SEE WORLD LEADERS
EXHAUSTED BECAUSE THEY ARE
00:03:18.13\00:03:23.53
OVERWHELMED BY ALL THE PROBLEMS
IN OUR WORLD AND SO ON AND WE GO
BACK TO THE SOURCE AND
00:03:23.57\00:03:28.77
FEEL REFRESHED WHEN WE READ
GOD'S PROMISES THAT GOD IS STILL
00:03:28.80\00:03:33.51
ACTIVE IN THE WORLD AND HE WANTS
US TO PARTNER WITH HIM AND MAKE
00:03:33.54\00:03:37.61
A DIFFERENCE. LOVE IT.
00:03:37.65\00:03:38.48
YOU BROUGHT ALONG
WITH YOU SOME PICTURES.
00:03:38.51\00:03:40.62
YES.
00:03:40.65\00:03:41.62
TELL A LOT OF GOOD STORIES.
00:03:41.65\00:03:43.02
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT IN
THIS PART OF THE WORLD IT'S A
00:03:43.05\00:03:46.42
DIFFICULT AND COMPLICATED
SITUATION IN THAT PART OF THE
00:03:46.45\00:03:49.36
WORLD. SOMETIMES WHEN WE TAKE
STUDENTS TO THE MIDDLE EAST AND
00:03:49.39\00:03:55.40
THE TOURIST GUIDE VERY OFTEN
WILL SAY WE HAVE A LOT OF
HISTORY IN THIS PART OF THE
00:03:55.43\00:03:59.77
WORLD. TOO M UCH HISTORY.
00:03:59.80\00:04:01.40
TOO MUCH HISTORY.
00:04:01.44\00:04:02.84
AND THAT IS TRUE SO WHAT WE TRY
TO DO AS GOSPEL OUTREACH WORK WE
00:04:02.87\00:04:08.94
FOCUS ON THE
NEGLECTED GROUPS OF PEOPLE.
00:04:08.98\00:04:11.55
NOW LET ME BEGIN WITH CHILDREN.
00:04:11.58\00:04:13.01
FORMER YUGOSLAVIA WENT THROUGH
A TERRIBLE WAR AND WE DO HAVE
00:04:13.05\00:04:19.89
PEOPLE WHO ARE
ORPHANS OR WHO ARE NEGLECTED.
00:04:19.92\00:04:22.26
HERE IS ONE EXAMPLE.
00:04:22.29\00:04:24.69
IN THE COUNTRY OF BOSNIA WE
HAVE A COUPLE OF GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:04:24.73\00:04:29.73
WORKERS, HUSBAND AND
WIFE WITH THEIR OWN CHILDREN.
00:04:31.83\00:04:33.90
AND THEY HAVE THEIR HOME BUT
THEY AT THE SAME TIME HAVE
OPENED THAT HOME AND
00:04:33.94\00:04:39.97
MADE IT INTO A CENTER FOR
SPIRITUALITY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
00:04:40.01\00:04:45.81
IT'S A SAFE HOUSE.
00:04:45.85\00:04:46.78
SAFE HOUSE.
00:04:46.82\00:04:48.35
AND THEY HAVE SPECIAL PROGRAMS.
00:04:48.38\00:04:50.62
FOR EXAMPLE
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL.
00:04:50.65\00:04:52.92
AND HERE WE SEE
YOUNG PEOPLE WHO COME.
00:04:52.95\00:04:55.66
SOME ARE
ADVENTISTS, QUITE A FEW ARE NOT.
00:04:55.69\00:04:59.43
AND THOSE WHO HELP IN THE
WORK OF THESE YOUNG PEOPLE, THEY
00:04:59.46\00:05:03.93
TRAVEL DISTANCES.
00:05:03.97\00:05:05.30
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH
MEMBERS WILL COME FROM SERBIA
00:05:05.33\00:05:10.27
AND OTHER PLACES
AND THEY VOLUNTEER.
00:05:10.31\00:05:11.87
THEY WORK AS COOKS.
00:05:11.91\00:05:13.21
THEY WOULD LIKE TO BE INVOLVED
TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE
00:05:13.24\00:05:16.98
LIVES OF YOUNG PEOPLE
AND CHILDREN WHO HAVE BEEN
00:05:17.01\00:05:20.32
NEGLECTED. I'M THINKING OF THE
NEIGHBORS WHO ARE NOT
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS AND
00:05:20.35\00:05:24.49
WHEN THEY SEE YOUNG PEOPLE
COMING AND LEARNING STORIES FROM
00:05:24.52\00:05:29.26
THE BIBLE AND LEARNING TO LIVE
WITH ONE ANOTHER AND MINIMIZE
THE CONFLICT IN THEIR LIVES
00:05:29.29\00:05:34.23
AND SO ON, THE NEIGHBORS
ARE ALSO WILLING TO HELP.
00:05:34.30\00:05:37.03
AND THIS PAST SUMMER MY WIFE AND
I ATTENDED ONE OF THE SERVICES
00:05:37.07\00:05:42.10
THAT THESE YOUNG
PEOPLE PRESENTED.
00:05:44.81\00:05:47.44
WE SAW HOW THEY STUDIED THE
BIBLE BUT MOST OF THE PROGRAM
00:05:47.48\00:05:51.75
WAS THAT YOUNG PEOPLE WERE
WITNESSING WHAT JESUS CHRIST
MEANS IN THEIR LIVES.
00:05:51.78\00:05:58.19
AS I HAVE SAID, SOME COME FROM
VERY DIFFICULT HOME SITUATIONS
00:05:58.22\00:06:04.16
AND I'M LOOKING AT
SOME OF THE FACES HERE.
00:06:04.19\00:06:06.33
A YOUNG MAN WOULD COME FORWARD
AND SAY I REALLY WOULD LIKE SOME
00:06:06.36\00:06:10.20
DAY TO BE A PASTOR AND I WOULD
LIKE TO TELL STORIES OF JESUS
JUST LIKE WE HAVE BEEN
00:06:10.23\00:06:14.17
TAUGHT HERE IN THIS PLACE.
00:06:14.20\00:06:15.90
SO THIS COUPLE THEY ARE
INCREDIBLY DEVOTED AND THIS IS
00:06:15.94\00:06:20.41
JUST ONE PLACE WHERE WE USE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH YOUNG
00:06:20.44\00:06:24.28
PEOPLE BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT ONCE
YOUNG PEOPLE FALL IN LOVE WITH
JESUS THEY CAN BECOME VERY
00:06:24.31\00:06:28.88
EFFECTIVE WITNESSES IN
THE PLACES WHERE THEY ARE.
00:06:28.92\00:06:30.99
WE CAN SEE ON THE PICTURES THAT
THE CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH
00:06:31.02\00:06:36.26
THEY WORK ARE VERY MODEST.
00:06:36.29\00:06:37.26
WHAT WERE THE TENTS?
00:06:37.29\00:06:38.73
WAS THIS A PATHFINDER CLUB ON A
KIND OF, THAT'S WHERE THEY SLEEP
00:06:38.76\00:06:43.93
AT NIGHT BECAUSE IN THE HOME
THAT IS OWNED BY GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:06:43.97\00:06:48.30
WORKER SPACE IS VERY LIMITED.
00:06:48.34\00:06:49.30
OH, SO THIS IS
WHERE THEY GET TO STAY.
00:06:49.34\00:06:51.31
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:06:51.34\00:06:52.31
THAT IS WHERE
THEY STAY, OUTSIDE.
00:06:52.34\00:06:54.31
THIS IS THEIR OUTSIDE HOME.
00:06:54.34\00:06:55.31
WOW.
00:06:55.34\00:06:56.31
AND ALSO THIS IS
WHERE THEY HAVE MEALS.
00:06:56.34\00:06:58.31
WE HAD A MEAL WITH THEM AND THEY
LEARN WHAT GOOD AND HEALTHY FOOD
00:06:58.35\00:07:02.18
IS ALL ABOUT.
00:07:02.22\00:07:03.55
AND THEY HAVE SABBATH AFTERNOON
WALKS AND AS THEY DO THAT AT THE
00:07:03.59\00:07:09.19
SAME TIME THEY PLAY BIBLE GAMES.
00:07:09.22\00:07:12.36
THAT WAY THEY TRY TO MEMORIZE
SOME OF THE PARABLES OF JESUS
00:07:12.39\00:07:16.77
AND OTHER VERSES THAT
HELP THEM RELATE TO LIFE.
00:07:16.80\00:07:19.10
THIS PICTURE BRINGS BACK SO MANY
MEMORIES TO ME OF THE TRIP THAT
00:07:19.13\00:07:25.81
I TOOK ONE TIME FROM HUNGRY BACK
THROUGH MANY OF THE COUNTRIES
00:07:25.84\00:07:30.91
AND AREAS IN SOUTHERN EUROPE.
00:07:32.91\00:07:34.38
BEAUTIFUL FORESTS, HILLS, CROPS.
00:07:34.42\00:07:39.55
THERE SEEMS TO BE A
CHURCH ON ABOUT EVERY HILL.
00:07:39.59\00:07:41.82
THAT IS CORRECT.
00:07:41.86\00:07:43.83
IS THAT PART OF THE BAD
HISTORY OR THE GOOD HISTORY?
00:07:43.86\00:07:46.19
WELL YOU KNOW, IT'S ALSO PART OF
THE CULTURE AND THAT IS IT SHOWS
00:07:46.23\00:07:51.23
THAT CHRISTIANITY HAS BEEN IN
THE REGION FOR A WHILE, FOREVER.
00:07:54.64\00:07:59.17
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:07:59.21\00:08:00.71
BUT THERE ARE VOICES RIGHT NOW,
ESPECIALLY YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE
00:08:00.74\00:08:06.82
SECULAR AND SOMETIMES
JOURNALISTS WHO ARE SAYING, WE
HAVE CONSTRUCTED TOO MANY
00:08:06.85\00:08:08.82
CHURCH BUILDINGS.
00:08:08.85\00:08:10.32
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH
CHURCH BUILDINGS BUT THERE ARE
VOICES THAT SAY WHY
00:08:10.35\00:08:11.82
DON'T WE INVEST MORE IN
THE LIVES OF YOUNG PEOPLE.
00:08:11.85\00:08:13.82
WHY DON'T WE BECOME MORE ACTIVE
WHEN THERE IS SERIOUS FLOODING
00:08:13.86\00:08:15.82
LIKE HAPPENED NOT LONG AGO.
00:08:15.86\00:08:16.93
AND SOMETIMES TRADITIONAL
CHURCHES REACH OUT TO HELP.
00:08:16.96\00:08:18.83
BUT THEN THERE IS
QUITE A BIT OF CRITICISM.
00:08:18.86\00:08:23.90
THE CLERGY MEN VERY OFTEN ARE
ABSENT FROM MAJOR PROJECTS WHERE
00:08:36.51\00:08:41.58
SPIRITUAL LEADERS CAN SHOW A
DIFFERENCE AND HELP PEOPLE WHO
HAVE LOST HOMES AND SO
00:08:44.55\00:08:49.29
ON.
00:08:49.32\00:08:50.66
AND THAT'S WHERE WE, GOSPEL
OUTREACH, TEAM UP WITH ADRA AND
00:08:50.69\00:08:53.76
THE LOCAL CHURCH IN AN
ATTEMPT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:08:53.80\00:08:56.67
SO CHURCH BUILDINGS, THEY ARE
PRESENT EVERYWHERE AND THAT IS
00:08:56.70\00:09:02.97
PROBABLY VERY
MEANINGFUL IN THE LOCAL CULTURE.
00:09:03.00\00:09:04.97
BUT AS I HAVE SAID, ESPECIALLY
YOUNG PEOPLE ALLIED WITH CRY OF
00:09:05.01\00:09:08.21
DESPAIR SAYING AREN'T
PEOPLE ALSO IMPORTANT.
00:09:08.24\00:09:11.08
WHY DON'T WE PAY
MORE ATTENTION TO THEM.
00:09:11.11\00:09:13.25
BRICK AND MORTAR ARE FINE.
00:09:13.28\00:09:15.28
IT'S GOING TO STAY WITH US FOR
AWHILE BUT THE YOUNG PEOPLE ARE
00:09:15.32\00:09:19.29
REALLY THE ONES WHO CAN MAKE
A DIFFERENCE IN THE SOCIETY.
00:09:19.32\00:09:21.69
I LOVE THINKING THAT THAT'S
WHERE THE MOST GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:09:21.72\00:09:24.63
WORKERS ARE FOCUSING RATHER THAN
ON THE BRICKS AND THE MORTAR.
00:09:24.66\00:09:27.83
JUST ON THE PEOPLE WHO
DESPERATELY NEED TO EXPERIENCE
00:09:27.86\00:09:31.90
THAT HOPE. THAT'S RIGHT.
00:09:31.93\00:09:32.90
ESPECIALLY THE LITTLE ONES?
00:09:32.93\00:09:33.90
YES.
00:09:33.94\00:09:35.37
AND THAT IS PROBABLY THE
BEST WAY IN WHICH WE CAN MAKE A
00:09:35.40\00:09:41.71
DIFFERENCE BECAUSE IT IS MORE
DIFFICULT FOR OLDER PEOPLE TO
CHANGE THEIR LIFESTYLE AND TO
00:09:41.74\00:09:47.25
ADJUST TO A NEW
WAY OF LIFE AND SO ON.
00:09:47.28\00:09:52.05
BUT YOUNG PEOPLE WHEN THEY HEAR
STORIES ABOUT CHRIST IT
MOTIVATES THEM TO GO
00:09:52.09\00:09:58.33
FOR SOMETHING
BETTER IN THEIR LIVES.
00:09:58.36\00:10:00.46
AND BY SERVING MEALS TO THEM,
BY OFFERING CLASSES IN MUSIC, IN
00:10:00.50\00:10:06.84
BASIC HYGIENE IT
DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:10:06.87\00:10:08.87
AND THOSE DIFFERENCES PROBABLY
ARE GOING TO STAY WITH THEM.
00:10:08.90\00:10:15.41
IT'S INTERESTING THAT YOU ARE
TALKING THE SAME KIND OF STORIES
00:10:15.44\00:10:20.42
THAT I HEAR AUDREY FOLKENBERG
AND OTHERS TALKING ABOUT FROM
DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE
00:10:20.45\00:10:23.55
WORLD AND THAT IS THAT OUR FOCUS
REALLY WORKS BEST IN
COMMUNICATING THE GOSPEL
00:10:23.59\00:10:30.39
OF HOPE WHEN WE DEAL
WITH DIRECT HUMAN NEEDS.
00:10:30.43\00:10:33.66
CORRECT.
00:10:33.70\00:10:35.06
THE TEACHING ABOUT THE STATUE
OF DANIEL IS NOT AS IMPORTANT AS
00:10:35.10\00:10:39.90
MAKING SURE THAT THEY HAVE RICE
AND ARE LEARNING HOW TO READ AND
00:10:42.40\00:10:47.01
WRITE. NOW IT'S TIME
FOR ME TO MAKE A CONFESSION.
00:10:47.04\00:10:49.28
OKAY.
00:10:49.31\00:10:50.75
BY PROFESSION I HAVE BEEN
TEACHING THE BIBLICAL HEBREW
00:10:50.78\00:10:54.72
TEXT, THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGE.
00:10:54.75\00:10:55.72
YOU'RE A THEOLOGIAN.
00:10:55.75\00:10:57.25
YES.
00:10:57.29\00:10:58.65
AND I MUST ADMIT THAT IT TOOK ME
MANY MANY YEARS TO DISCOVER THAT
00:10:58.69\00:11:04.33
GOD'S PRIMARY
INTEREST IS IN PEOPLE.
00:11:04.36\00:11:07.56
AND THAT HAS CHANGED MY APPROACH
TO LIKE SAY THE STUDY OF THE
00:11:07.60\00:11:11.03
BOOK OF DANIEL THAT
YOU HAVE JUST MENTIONED.
00:11:11.07\00:11:13.03
HOW OFTEN I REMEMBER IN THE PAST
I WOULD STUDY THE BOOK OF DANIEL
00:11:13.07\00:11:18.14
AND BE INTERESTED IN ALL KINDS
OF IDEAS INSTEAD OF ASKING WHO
00:11:21.21\00:11:25.11
ARE THE PEOPLE INVOLVED HERE.
00:11:25.15\00:11:26.08
HOW DID GOD DEAL WITH
THESE PEOPLE AND SO ON.
00:11:26.11\00:11:29.72
MAYBE WHAT IS APPROPRIATE HERE
IS TO MENTION THAT I HAVE A HERO
00:11:29.75\00:11:33.72
OUTSIDE OF THE BIBLE.
00:11:33.76\00:11:34.72
WHO IS THAT?
00:11:34.76\00:11:35.86
JOSEPH WOLF.
00:11:35.89\00:11:37.03
OH YES.
00:11:37.06\00:11:38.43
YOU HAVE HEARD ABOUT HIM AND I'M
SURE THAT SOME HAVE ALSO HEARD
00:11:38.46\00:11:43.03
BUT SOME HAVE
NOT SO PLEASE TELL.
00:11:43.06\00:11:44.37
SO JOSEPH WOLF HE BASICALLY AS
A YOUNG MAN CAME FROM A JEWISH
00:11:44.40\00:11:50.84
HOME WHERE THE FATHER WAS A
JEWISH RABBI FROM THE COUNTRY OF
00:11:50.87\00:11:56.91
PRUSSIA. AND HE HAD MANY
QUESTIONS THAT HIS COMMUNITY WAS
NOT ABLE TO ANSWER.
00:11:56.95\00:12:01.85
I'M ABBREVIATING THE STORY.
00:12:01.88\00:12:03.08
IN HIS SEARCH FOR THE MEANING
OF LIFE HE BECAME A CHRISTIAN.
00:12:03.12\00:12:06.99
HE WENT TO ROME TO BE
TRAINED AS A MISSIONARY.
00:12:07.02\00:12:10.56
AND AFTER HIS EXPERIENCE IN ROME
HE CONVERTED INTO THE ANGLICAN
00:12:10.59\00:12:17.50
CHURCH AND MARRIED
A LADY FROM THE UK.
00:12:17.53\00:12:20.40
HE QUIT HIS POST OF TEACHING
ANCIENT LANGUAGES AT A
PRESTIGIOUS SCHOOL IN
00:12:20.44\00:12:26.01
THE UK AND DEDICATED THE REST
OF HIS LIFE IN GOING ALL OVER
00:12:26.04\00:12:32.31
PLACES IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND
PREACHING THE GOOD NEWS OF
CHRIST'S SOON COMING.
00:12:32.35\00:12:36.62
HE IS THE ONLY MISSIONARY
THAT WE KNOW OF THAT TRAVELED
00:12:36.65\00:12:41.12
EXTENSIVELY AND
NEVER USED A TRANSLATOR.
00:12:41.16\00:12:43.46
NOT EVEN ONCE.
00:12:43.49\00:12:45.03
IN TRAVELING FROM ONE VILLAGE TO
THE NEXT HE WOULD TRY TO LEARN
00:12:45.06\00:12:49.00
ENOUGH OF THE LOCAL DIALECT
SO THAT HE COULD DELIVER HIS
00:12:49.03\00:12:52.33
MESSAGE. AND THE REASON WHY I'M
MENTIONING HIM IS I WAS
PRIVILEGED TO WRITE A
00:12:52.37\00:12:56.37
SMALL BOOK ABOUT HIM WHICH I
DONATED TO THE THOUSAND
MISSIONARY MOVEMENT IN
00:12:56.40\00:13:00.41
ASIA.
00:13:00.44\00:13:01.28
AND HE MAKES AN
INTERESTING OBSERVATION.
00:13:01.31\00:13:03.41
HE SAYS MANY PEOPLE THINK
THAT GOD'S GREATEST POWER IN THE
00:13:03.45\00:13:08.78
WORLD WAS DEMONSTRATED
WHEN THE LORD CREATED THE WORLD.
00:13:08.82\00:13:13.09
BUT HE SAYS HE BELIEVED
THAT GOD'S GREATEST POWER IN THE
00:13:13.12\00:13:18.79
WORLD IS DEMONSTRATED
WHEN ONE HUMAN LIFE IS CHANGED.
00:13:18.83\00:13:24.00
WHEN HE RECREATES.
00:13:24.03\00:13:25.33
WHEN HE RECREATES.
00:13:25.37\00:13:26.84
BECAUSE WOLF SAYS, WHEN GOD
WAS CREATING THE WORLD NO FORCE
00:13:26.87\00:13:32.67
COULD OPPOSE HIM. BUT IN THE
LIFE OF AN ELDERLY LADY WHO
WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE THE WHOLE
00:13:32.71\00:13:37.78
HOST OF DEMONS AND SATAN HIMSELF
ARE TRYING TO PREVENT THAT.
00:13:40.02\00:13:43.99
SO NOTHING COULD OPPOSE GOD WHEN
HE WAS CREATING OUR WORLD AND
00:13:44.02\00:13:49.22
THE UNIVERSE BUT IN THE
CONVERSION, IN THE LIFE CHANGED
OF ONE PERSON WHEN THAT HAPPENS
00:13:49.26\00:13:54.30
IT'S A BIG DIFFERENCE AND
THE REASON WHY I'M HERE TODAY IS
00:13:56.90\00:14:01.20
BECAUSE MY FATHER CAME OUT OF
THE SECOND WORLD WAR IN VERY BAD
00:14:01.24\00:14:06.21
SHAPE. AND IT WAS BECAUSE
OF GOD'S GRACE THAT EVERYTHING
00:14:06.24\00:14:11.45
CHANGED AND ALL OF US, SEVEN OF
US CHILDREN WE ARE STILL IN THE
CHURCH BECAUSE OF THE
00:14:11.48\00:14:16.12
INFLUENCE OF THAT MAN WHO FROM
HIS DESPAIR TURNED TO THE LORD.
00:14:16.15\00:14:19.49
IN HIS DESPAIR.
00:14:19.52\00:14:20.49
YES.
00:14:20.52\00:14:21.92
IT'S AMAZING TO ME HOW THE
CHILDREN THAT WE MEET AROUND THE
00:14:21.96\00:14:28.00
WORLD BECOME AGAIN AND AGAIN
THE CORE OF, THE FOCUS OF GOSPEL
00:14:28.03\00:14:33.37
OUTREACH WORKERS.
LISTEN TO THE KIDS.
00:14:33.40\00:14:35.04
I NEED TO SPREAD
THE GOSPEL HERE AT HOME.
00:14:35.07\00:14:41.61
WHERE IS THE
10/40 WINDOW ANYWAY?
00:14:41.64\00:14:45.35
THOSE PEOPLE LIVE TOO FAR AWAY.
00:14:45.38\00:14:47.88
SOMEONE ELSE CAN
TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS.
00:14:47.92\00:14:50.55
MAYBE THEY COULD JUST WATCH TV.
00:14:50.59\00:14:53.42
NEARLY THREE
BILLION PEOPLE TO REACH.
00:14:53.46\00:14:56.29
MY HEAD HURTS.
00:14:56.32\00:14:57.73
THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO.
00:14:57.76\00:15:00.20
I GIVE UP.
00:15:00.23\00:15:01.60
WHAT'S THE POINT OF TRYING?
00:15:01.63\00:15:04.00
I CAN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:15:04.03\00:15:06.40
ACTUALLY YOU CAN
MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:15:06.43\00:15:09.27
AND JESUS ASKED YOU
TO GO TO ALL THE WORLD.
00:15:09.30\00:15:14.08
WHERE?
00:15:14.11\00:15:15.08
ALL THE WORLD.
00:15:15.11\00:15:16.24
HOW CAN I GO, I
HAVE COMMITMENTS.
00:15:16.28\00:15:18.45
YOU CAN PRAY.
00:15:18.48\00:15:20.55
YOU CAN VOLUNTEER YOUR TALENTS.
00:15:20.58\00:15:25.49
YOU CAN TELL OTHERS.
00:15:25.52\00:15:29.52
YOU CAN GIVE MONEY TO
SPONSOR BIBLE WORKERS.
00:15:29.56\00:15:32.36
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE
SEARCHING FOR HOPE AND MEANING.
00:15:32.39\00:15:35.26
BUT THEY WON'T
FIND IT WITHOUT YOU.
00:15:35.30\00:15:37.43
BE THE SPARK.
00:15:37.47\00:15:38.90
LIGHT THE FIRE.
00:15:38.93\00:15:41.00
FINISH THE WORK.
00:15:41.04\00:15:44.04
FINISH THE WORK.
00:15:44.07\00:15:47.11
BE THE SPARK.
00:15:47.14\00:15:50.25
ZDRAVKO LET'S GO BACK TO YOUR
PICTURES AND TALK A LITTLE BIT
00:15:50.28\00:15:54.68
MORE ABOUT THE IMPACT BEING MADE
BY GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS IN
00:15:54.72\00:15:59.15
SOUTHERN EUROPE. SURE.
00:15:59.19\00:16:00.72
YOU KNOW THE YOUNG PEOPLE WHEN
THEY FOR THE FIRST TIME HEAR THE
00:16:00.76\00:16:05.79
STORIES THAT JESUS TOLD, THEY
ARE MOVED BECAUSE OF THE PAST
00:16:09.50\00:16:14.57
WAR SITUATION. THERE WAS TOO
MUCH OF PREJUDICE AND HATRED
BETWEEN DIFFERENT GROUPS.
00:16:16.97\00:16:23.51
AND TO BE IN THE PLACE WHERE
THERE IS SO MUCH INTOLERANCE,
00:16:23.55\00:16:29.25
ETHNIC CLEANSING AND SO ON.
00:16:29.28\00:16:31.29
AND LISTEN TO THE STORIES JESUS
TOLD ABOUT THE GOOD SAMARITAN,
00:16:31.32\00:16:36.66
ABOUT THE FORGIVING FATHER.
00:16:36.69\00:16:38.03
ALL THESE BECOME IN A SPECIAL
WAY MEANINGFUL BECAUSE THAT'S
00:16:38.06\00:16:43.97
SOMETHING THAT CAN
BE IMMEDIATELY APPLIED.
00:16:44.00\00:16:46.74
BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA HAVE
MIXED POPULATION AND SOMETIMES
00:16:46.77\00:16:51.81
IN A SMALL TOWN YOU MAY
FIND MORE THAN 20 DIFFERENT
00:16:53.78\00:16:56.85
NATIONALITIES. REALLY.
00:16:56.88\00:16:57.78
AND SOME OF THEM
HAVE VERY VERY DEEP ROOTS.
00:16:57.81\00:17:00.15
THERE IS TOO MUCH BAGGAGE COMING
FROM THE PAST AND PEOPLE IN
00:17:00.18\00:17:05.85
ORDER TO JUSTIFY THEIR FEELINGS
OR THEIR ATTITUDES THEY NEED TO
GO BACK A CENTURY OR TWO,
00:17:05.89\00:17:10.13
BACK IN TIME TO JUSTIFY THEIR
LACK OF TOLERANCE AND SO ON.
00:17:10.16\00:17:15.40
THE FRESHNESS THAT COMES
FROM THE MESSAGES OF CHRIST THEY
00:17:15.43\00:17:20.34
REALLY BRING HEALING TO PEOPLE.
00:17:20.37\00:17:23.74
AND ONE OF THE CLASSES, BY
THE WAY, THAT ARE TAUGHT IN THE
00:17:23.77\00:17:29.24
SCHOOL WHERE I TEACH
THE TITLE IS HEALING WORDS.
00:17:29.28\00:17:32.08
WOW.
00:17:32.11\00:17:33.52
VERY OFTEN I THINK OF THAT VERY
APPROPRIATE TITLE SOMETIMES OUR
00:17:33.55\00:17:38.69
WORDS WHEN THEY ARE USED IN AN
APPROPRIATE WAY AND CHRIST DID
THAT A LOT, THEY CAN
00:17:38.72\00:17:43.83
BE LIKE A THERAPY AND HELP
PEOPLE HEAL THE WOUNDS AND TEACH
00:17:43.86\00:17:48.90
US BETTER WAYS. I ALSO WANTED TO
TELL YOU THAT ANOTHER GROUP OF
PEOPLE THAT WE VERY OFTEN
00:17:48.93\00:17:52.57
WORK WITH ARE THE
ROMA PEOPLE OR THE GYPSIES.
00:17:52.60\00:17:55.94
OKAY.
00:17:55.97\00:17:57.34
AND A VERY INTERESTING
DETAIL ABOUT THEM IS THAT IN THE
00:17:57.37\00:18:01.48
COUNTRY CALLED KOSOVO, AND THAT
IS THE SEVENTH COUNTRY THAT
BECAME INDEPENDENT FROM
00:18:01.51\00:18:06.68
FORMER YUGOSLAVIA.
00:18:06.72\00:18:08.05
THAT USED TO BE A SMALL COUNTRY
BY THE WAY, ALL THESE ARE VERY
00:18:08.08\00:18:10.35
SMALL COUNTRIES.
00:18:10.39\00:18:11.49
AND WE HAVE A GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKER WHO IS AN ARTIST.
00:18:11.52\00:18:14.72
AND HE PRODUCES WONDERFUL
PICTURES AND THE PICTURES THAT
HE PAINTS ARE ABOUT
00:18:14.76\00:18:20.30
EVERY DAY LIFE OF THE GYPSY
PEOPLE AND THE CULTURE THAT HE
00:18:20.33\00:18:25.47
FEELS MAY SOMEDAY
BE COMPLETELY LOST.
00:18:25.50\00:18:27.97
SO WHAT'S SO NICE
ABOUT THE ROMA PEOPLE.
00:18:28.00\00:18:30.44
WELL THEY HAVE BEEN DISPLACED
NOW FOR CENTURIES AND PEOPLE WHO
00:18:30.47\00:18:34.68
ARE ON THE MOVE TEND TO
LOOK FOR SOMETHING BETTER.
00:18:34.71\00:18:37.85
NOW THERE REALLY IS
THE DOWN SIDE OF IT.
00:18:37.88\00:18:40.08
THEY HAD TO FIGURE
OUT WAYS OF SURVIVING.
00:18:40.12\00:18:42.75
WE TALK ABOUT LACK OF HONESTY
AND SO ON BUT THEN ON THE
POSITIVE SIDE THESE
00:18:42.78\00:18:48.52
ARE THE PEOPLE WHO
LONG FOR SOMETHING BETTER.
00:18:48.56\00:18:51.06
CONSTANTLY SEARCHING.
00:18:51.09\00:18:52.49
THESE ARE THE PHRASES THAT COME
FROM THE BIBLE, FROM THE NEW
00:18:52.53\00:18:56.67
TESTAMENT. AREN'T' WE ALL ON A
JOURNEY LOOKING FOR THE
FULFILLMENT OF THE ADVENT
00:18:56.70\00:18:59.40
HOPE WHEN WE WILL BE IN
A BETTER PLACE AND SO ON.
00:18:59.43\00:19:01.64
SO WHEN, HIS NAME IS BAYRAM,
WHEN HE DOES HIS PAINTINGS AND
00:19:01.67\00:19:07.31
HIS SISTER ALSO
HAS THE SAME GIFT.
00:19:07.34\00:19:11.05
HE SOMETIMES, BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
HE GOES ALL THE WAY TO HOLLAND
00:19:11.08\00:19:15.78
FOR SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS AND HE
HAS CONTACTS WITH VERY
INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE IN ARTS
00:19:15.82\00:19:21.19
IN EUROPE, BUSINESS MEN
WHEN THEY COME AND SO ON.
00:19:21.22\00:19:24.26
AS HE EXPLAINS THE GYPSY
LIFESTYLE AND SO ON HE ALSO
TELLS THEM THAT HE'S
00:19:24.29\00:19:29.80
A BELIEVER IN JESUS CHRIST AND
THAT JESUS CHRIST CAN SEE SOME
00:19:29.83\00:19:34.70
POSITIVE THINGS IN HIS CULTURE.
00:19:34.74\00:19:35.84
AND THAT'S THE MESSAGE
THAT HE TAKES TO HIS OWN PEOPLE.
00:19:35.87\00:19:39.24
SO THAT IS HAPPENING IN KOSOVO.
00:19:39.27\00:19:40.68
NOW HE IS ABLE TO DO THAT AS A
GOSPEL OUTREACH MINISTER RIGHT?
00:19:40.71\00:19:45.48
CORRECT.
00:19:45.51\00:19:46.95
BECAUSE HE WILL COME TO YOUR
COMMUNITY, CORRECT, SIT THERE,
00:19:46.98\00:19:49.72
GET TO KNOW YOU A LITTLE BIT AND
THEN HE STARTS DRAWING AND THEN
00:19:49.75\00:19:52.72
EVERYBODY BECOMES
FASCINATED IN THAT DRAWING.
00:19:52.75\00:19:54.12
AND INTERESTED BECAUSE THERE ARE
SO MANY PEOPLE WHO BECAUSE OF
00:19:54.16\00:19:59.16
DIFFICULT LIFE THEY TEND TO
COMPLETELY NEGLECT THEIR
CULTURAL HERITAGE AND SO
00:19:59.19\00:20:04.53
ON.
00:20:04.57\00:20:05.93
AND HE COMES TO THEM AND TRIES
TO REVIVE THEIR INTEREST IN THE
00:20:05.97\00:20:09.14
ORIGINAL GYPSY CULTURE.
00:20:09.17\00:20:10.57
AND BY THE WAY WE ARE TALKING
HERE OF THOUSANDS OF TRIBES,
00:20:10.61\00:20:14.84
LANGUAGES AND IT'S SOMETHING
THAT IS EXTREMELY RICH.
00:20:14.88\00:20:17.18
RICH BUT VERY EASY
NOW TO BE LOST ALSO.
00:20:17.21\00:20:21.42
CORRECT.
00:20:21.45\00:20:22.88
BUT HE TIES IT IN WITH THE GOOD
THINGS THAT ONE CAN GET FROM THE
00:20:22.92\00:20:26.55
TEACHING OF CHRIST AND
THE ADVENT HOPE AND SO ON.
00:20:26.59\00:20:29.62
SO THE TWO SOMEHOW
BLEND VERY WELL TOGETHER.
00:20:29.66\00:20:32.79
SOUNDS WONDERFUL.
00:20:32.83\00:20:34.30
DID YOU BRING A BUNCH
OF HIS PICTURES BY CHANCE?
00:20:34.30\00:20:36.26
NO I DID NOT BUT IT'S AVAILABLE
ON LINE SO I WOULD SUGGEST IF
00:20:36.30\00:20:40.70
ONE GOOGLES BAYRAM
GYPSY LIFE PAINTINGS.
00:20:40.74\00:20:42.70
OKAY.
00:20:42.74\00:20:43.71
YOU KNOW THOSE WOULD BE
THE KEY WORDS TO GOOGLE.
00:20:43.74\00:20:45.71
I WILL DO THAT.
00:20:45.74\00:20:46.71
HE HAS A NUMBER OF PICTURES.
00:20:46.74\00:20:47.71
BAYRAM, B-A-Y-R-A-M.
00:20:47.74\00:20:48.71
AND GYPSY LIFE PAINTINGS.
00:20:48.74\00:20:49.71
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:20:49.74\00:20:50.71
GYPSY LIFE PAINTINGS.
00:20:50.75\00:20:51.71
COOL.
00:20:51.75\00:20:53.15
MUST GO AND LOOK BECAUSE
NOW KOSOVO WILL HAVE A WHOLE NEW
00:20:53.18\00:20:54.72
MEANING FOR ME. THAT'S RIGHT.
00:20:54.75\00:20:56.05
NOW IT'S REALLY INTERESTING THAT
GOD WOULD USE ART TO BE ABLE TO
00:20:56.08\00:20:57.72
BE THE COMMUNICATIVE METHOD.
00:20:57.75\00:20:59.55
AND IN SOME CULTURES
THAT IS QUITE IMPORTANT.
00:20:59.59\00:21:01.82
OH YES BECAUSE IN OTHER
CULTURES IT'S STORY TELLING.
00:21:01.86\00:21:08.50
WHEN I GO TO AFRICAN PLACES AND
I ASK ABOUT SOMETHING, THEY'LL
00:21:08.53\00:21:13.57
INTRODUCE ME TO THE OLDEST
PERSON AND SAY YOU NEED TO ASK
HIM AND HE WILL TELL
00:21:17.41\00:21:22.48
YOU STORIES.
00:21:24.75\00:21:25.71
THAT MAKES THE PAST MEANINGFUL.
00:21:25.75\00:21:27.92
AND WHAT I LIKE ABOUT JOSEPH
WOLF WHO WE HAVE MENTIONED, HIS
00:21:27.95\00:21:33.25
MISSIONARY PHILOSOPHY WAS THAT
WHEN WE GO TO WITNESS TO OTHERS
INSTEAD OF BRINGING OUR
00:21:33.29\00:21:38.93
CULTURAL BAGGAGE WITH US WE
SHOULD STUDY THE OLDEST
TRADITIONS OF THE PEOPLE
00:21:38.96\00:21:44.10
TO WHOM WE WITNESS.
00:21:44.13\00:21:45.53
AND HE SAYS WE NEED TO FIND
THE PRINCIPLES THAT GOVERN THE
00:21:45.57\00:21:50.51
CULTURE AND TO SHOW TO THEM THAT
THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS FOR A LONG
TIME BEEN AT WORK IN THE
00:21:50.54\00:21:56.38
INDIGENOUS CULTURES AND TO
COMMUNICATE THE GOSPEL TO THEM
00:21:56.41\00:22:00.55
THAT WAY. NOW YOU RAISE
SOMETHING REALLY INTERESTING
BECAUSE FOR ME I'VE ASKED THE
00:22:00.58\00:22:05.62
QUESTION MANY TIMES, WHY DID GOD
FOCUS ON NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND
00:22:05.65\00:22:11.06
WITH ALL OF HIS MINISTRY.
00:22:11.09\00:22:12.19
OR YOU KNOW, CANAAN FIRST
AND NOW NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
00:22:12.23\00:22:16.53
AND YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT
THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS BEEN ACTIVE
00:22:16.56\00:22:19.87
EVERY WHERE IN EVERY TRIBE AND
EVERY CULTURE AND IF WE LOOK
CAREFULLY WE CAN SEE THOSE
00:22:19.90\00:22:24.37
GLOWING DIAMONDS OF HOPE.
00:22:24.41\00:22:26.44
AND DANIEL WAS AWARE OF THAT
WHEN HE WAS IN BABYLON AND WHEN
00:22:26.47\00:22:30.11
THE LORD WAS
GIVING HIM REVELATIONS.
00:22:30.15\00:22:31.95
VERY OFTEN IT WAS COUCHED
IN THE LANGUAGE OF THE COUNTRY.
00:22:31.98\00:22:36.38
DANIEL IS CALLED THE CHIEF
MAGICIAN, WE WOULD FEEL A LITTLE
00:22:36.42\00:22:40.82
UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THAT TERM
TODAY, IN WHOM IS OR WAS THE
SPIRIT OF THE HOLY GODS.
00:22:40.86\00:22:46.13
BUT ALL OF THOSE SHOW US HOW
AUTHENTIC THE CULTURE WAS AND
00:22:46.16\00:22:50.73
THAT DANIEL WAS ABLE TO BLEND IN
WITH THE CULTURE IN ORDER TO
BRING THEM CLOSER TO THE LORD
00:22:50.77\00:22:56.30
AND TO COMMUNICATE BASICALLY THE
KERNEL OF THE MESSAGES FOUND IN
00:22:56.34\00:23:00.38
THE BIBLE.
00:23:00.41\00:23:01.38
OF GRACE.
00:23:01.41\00:23:02.38
GRACE, GRACE,
GRACE AS FOUND IN GOD.
00:23:02.41\00:23:04.35
THAT IS CORRECT.
00:23:04.38\00:23:05.35
TAKE US BACK TO BOSNIA.
00:23:05.38\00:23:06.95
LET'S SEE IF THERE
ARE MORE PICTURES LEFT.
00:23:06.98\00:23:10.92
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE MEALS
YOU CAN SEE HERE THE WIFE, THE
00:23:10.95\00:23:17.23
SPOUSE OF OUR
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER.
00:23:17.26\00:23:18.83
SHE IS A PROFESSOR
IN THE LOCAL SCHOOL.
00:23:18.86\00:23:21.30
AND SHE GOES
INTO THE BIBLE STUDY.
00:23:21.33\00:23:24.53
SHE CHOOSES CAREFULLY THE TOPICS
THAT WILL INCREASE THE KNOWLEDGE
00:23:24.57\00:23:30.91
OF THE CHILDREN ABOUT THE BIBLE
AND THE METAPHORS THAT ARE FOUND
00:23:30.94\00:23:34.78
IN THE BIBLE. AND THEN SHE ASKS
HOW CAN THESE LESSONS NOW BE
APPLIED IN OUR HOMES
00:23:34.81\00:23:40.68
TODAY.
00:23:40.72\00:23:41.92
WHAT IS THE LORD TRYING TO
COMMUNICATE AND TELL US AND SO
00:23:41.95\00:23:44.72
ON. WHAT I APPRECIATE IN HER
APPROACH IS THAT VERY OFTEN SHE
00:23:44.75\00:23:49.29
ASKS THE CHILDREN TO
COME UP WITH INNOVATIVE IDEAS.
00:23:49.32\00:23:53.19
SO IT'S LIKE AN INNOVATIONAL
LAB THAT SHE'S RUNNING THERE.
00:23:53.23\00:23:57.33
AND THE CHILDREN HAVE
VERY INTERESTING IDEAS.
00:23:57.37\00:24:00.34
WHEN THEY SHARED SOME OF THEM MY
WIFE AND I WERE REALLY TOUCHED
00:24:00.37\00:24:04.61
IN LISTENING TO THEM.
00:24:04.64\00:24:06.04
THEY SING IN A BEAUTIFUL WAY
AND BY THE WAY SOME OF THE SONGS
00:24:06.07\00:24:10.85
THEY DO IN ENGLISH
AND EVEN IN HEBREW.
00:24:10.88\00:24:12.28
SO THEY DO IT IN BOSNIAN, THEY
DO IT IN ENGLISH, THEY DO IT IN
00:24:12.31\00:24:14.35
HEBREW AND SO ON.
00:24:14.38\00:24:15.78
THEY ARE LEARNING THAT GOD'S
PEOPLE ARE FOUND IN MANY PARTS
00:24:15.82\00:24:21.06
OF THE WORLD AND THAT ADVENTISM
BUILDS ON A VERY RICH CULTURE.
00:24:21.09\00:24:25.13
FASCINATING.
00:24:25.16\00:24:26.53
AND WHAT'S FASCINATING TO ME
IS THAT SO OFTEN EDUCATION IS
00:24:26.56\00:24:30.90
TRANSPORTING DATA INFORMATION.
00:24:30.93\00:24:33.27
BUT OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS
ARE SAYING OKAY, HERE'S THE
00:24:33.30\00:24:37.01
INFORMATION, WHAT ARE
YOU GOING TO DO WITH IT.
00:24:37.04\00:24:39.01
HOW WILL THIS
MAKE YOUR HOUSE BETTER?
00:24:39.04\00:24:41.01
HOW WILL THIS MAKE
YOUR FAMILY HAPPIER?
00:24:41.04\00:24:43.01
HOW CAN YOU EXPERIENCE HOPE
BY KNOWING THIS STORY THAT JESUS
00:24:43.04\00:24:46.41
TOLD? I WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE THAT
THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES THAT ARE
THERE HAVE A LOT OF
00:24:46.45\00:24:50.89
RESPECT FOR OUR CENTER.
00:24:50.92\00:24:53.42
INSTEAD OF CALLING IT YOU
KNOW IN A DIFFERENT MAYBE MORE
00:24:53.46\00:24:58.96
RELIGIOUS WAY THEY HAVE
CALLED IT A CENTER FOR SPIRITUAL
00:24:58.99\00:25:03.13
RENEWAL AND SO ON. THAT'S VERY
APPEALING TO THE PEOPLE BECAUSE
THEY SEE THAT, USUALLY DURING A
00:25:03.16\00:25:06.84
WAR PEOPLE'S
CULTURE IS DESTROYED.
00:25:06.87\00:25:09.24
YES.
00:25:09.27\00:25:10.74
SO NOW IT'S BEING REBUILT AND
EVERYBODY THE WHOLE COMMUNITY
00:25:10.77\00:25:13.74
APPRECIATES IT. AWESOME.
00:25:13.78\00:25:15.48
TO THINK THAT THAT IS SOMETHING
THAT'S HAPPENING WHERE RATHER
00:25:15.51\00:25:18.38
THAN BEING A SECT IN THE CORNER
OR SOMEBODY THAT HAS TO HIDE
WHAT THEY'RE DOING, THE
00:25:18.41\00:25:22.65
AUTHORITIES SAY
THIS IS GOOD, DO MORE.
00:25:22.68\00:25:25.39
AND I BELIEVE THE BEST THING
THAT THEY CAN TELL US ABOUT US
00:25:25.42\00:25:29.72
IS THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE
OUR PEOPLE AND THEY ARE WILLING
00:25:29.76\00:25:34.83
TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR
LIVES AND THEY ARE IMPROVING THE
LIFE IN THE COMMUNITY AND
00:25:34.86\00:25:39.43
THAT'S WHERE BASICALLY WE
GET A VERY GOOD REPUTATION.
00:25:39.47\00:25:43.54
WE BECOME KNOWN AS THOSE
WHO ARE HERE TO HELP THE PEOPLE.
00:25:43.57\00:25:46.88
WHO ARE HERE TO HELP.
00:25:46.91\00:25:47.94
HOW MANY MORE GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS COULD YOU USE?
00:25:47.98\00:25:52.25
WE COULD USE NOW MANY MORE
BECAUSE OF THE NEW SITUATION
00:25:52.28\00:25:56.82
THAT WE ARE FACING WITH
DISPLACED PEOPLE COMING FROM
SYRIA AND OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE
00:25:56.85\00:26:02.76
MIDDLE EAST THAT ARE
FLEEING THE CONFLICT.
00:26:02.79\00:26:05.46
AND THAT IS PROBABLY GOING TO
BE A LONG-TERM PROJECT OF GOSPEL
00:26:05.49\00:26:09.63
OUTREACH. IN THE FUTURE
WE'LL HAVE TO SAY MORE ABOUT IT.
00:26:09.66\00:26:12.97
THAT'S REALLY INTERESTING.
00:26:13.00\00:26:14.40
WE HAVE LESS THAN A MINUTE BUT
WHEN I LISTEN ON TELEVISION NOW
00:26:14.44\00:26:19.47
AND I HEAR ABOUT THE REFUGEES
COMING ACROSS THIS WAY AND
EVERYWHERE, THEY'RE COMING
00:26:19.51\00:26:23.45
MANY TIMES THROUGH THE EXACT
PLACE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FROM
00:26:23.48\00:26:26.45
BOSNIA. THAT'S RIGHT.
00:26:26.48\00:26:27.78
SO WE ARE NOW PREPARING PROJECTS
WHERE THE STUDENTS FROM OUR
00:26:27.82\00:26:32.29
SCHOOL AND THE LOCAL-----THEY
CAN BE INVOLVED IN PREPARING
WARM MEALS PREPARING THEM
00:26:32.32\00:26:36.49
FOR WINTER AND SO ON.
00:26:36.52\00:26:38.33
SO WE DO HUMANITARIAN HELP BUT
AT THE SAME TIME OUR OWN PEOPLE
00:26:38.36\00:26:44.30
BEGIN TO FOCUS, GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS, THE CHURCH, ADRA, FOCUS
ON WHAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT,
00:26:44.33\00:26:48.10
WHAT MATTERS.
00:26:48.14\00:26:49.40
I LOVE IT.
00:26:49.44\00:26:50.77
YOU COULD ACTUALLY SAY THAT THE
GOSPEL OUTREACH PEOPLE ARE BUSY
00:26:50.81\00:26:53.81
DOING BLANKETS OF HOPE, MEALS OF
HOPE, ANYTHING THAT HELPS US SEE
JESUS CHRIST AS THE
00:26:53.84\00:27:00.32
GREATEST HOPE.
00:27:00.35\00:27:01.32
THANKS FOR BEING WITH US.
00:27:01.35\00:27:06.42
[CLOSING MUSIC]
