00:00:30.63\00:00:37.53
HOW GOD IS LEADING IN
VARIOUS PARTS OF THE WORLD.
00:00:37.57\00:00:40.37
AND THAT INTERESTS US.
00:00:40.40\00:00:42.20
WE ARE A FAMILY OF PEOPLE WHO
PUT A GREAT DEAL OF EMPHASIS ON
00:00:42.24\00:00:47.31
MISSIONS AND HOW WE DISCOVER THE
HOLY SPIRIT WORKING AMONG PEOPLE
00:00:50.51\00:00:56.22
IN DIFFERENT WAYS,
UNUSUAL TO US SOMETIMES.
00:00:56.25\00:00:58.32
AND TODAY, I THINK, IS
AN INTERVIEW LIKE THAT.
00:00:58.35\00:01:02.12
I HAVE WITH ME
TODAY MIKE PORTER.
00:01:02.16\00:01:04.73
GLAD YOU'RE HERE MIKE.

A PLEASURE TO BE HERE.
00:01:06.26\00:01:07.46
GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER.
00:01:07.50\00:01:08.96
AND I WILL RESIST TALKING TO
YOU ABOUT WHERE YOU'VE BEEN AND
00:01:09.00\00:01:15.17
WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON AND ALL OF
THAT KIND OF THING WHICH IS VERY
INTERESTING AND WE'D ALL
00:01:15.20\00:01:18.91
LIKE TO KNOW BUT WE'RE HERE TO
TALK ABOUT THE AMAZING WAYS THAT
00:01:18.94\00:01:24.01
GOD SEEMS TO BE WORKING
ESPECIALLY IN THIS 21ST CENTURY.
00:01:27.18\00:01:31.25
WHAT DO YOU HAVE
TO SHARE WITH US?
00:01:31.29\00:01:33.25
WELL IT IS JUST AMAZING DAN TO
SEE HOW GOD SEEMS TO BE WORKING
00:01:33.29\00:01:39.76
IN WAYS
DIFFERENTLY THAN IN THE PAST.
00:01:39.79\00:01:41.73
THERE ARE LARGE PEOPLE GROUPS
WHERE WE HAVE JUST NOT SEEN A
00:01:41.76\00:01:45.43
LOT OF ACTIVITY.
00:01:45.47\00:01:48.34
IT SEEMS LIKE THEY'VE BEEN
UNREACHABLE ALMOST AND YET WE'RE
SEEING THAT SOMEHOW
00:01:48.37\00:01:55.18
GOD IS STEPPING IN THROUGH
DREAMS AND VISIONS AND OTHER
00:01:55.21\00:02:00.98
MEANS AND JUST SAYING, I'M HERE,
I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO
00:02:01.02\00:02:06.09
MY SON, TO JESUS. THEY USE
DIFFERENT TERMINOLOGIES MANY
00:02:08.32\00:02:11.03
TIMES. SOMETIMES THE STORIES ARE
SUCH THAT THERE'S NOTHING ABOUT
00:02:11.06\00:02:17.23
SON SHIP PER SE.
IT'S JUST A MAN IN WHITE.
00:02:17.27\00:02:19.80
WHEN YOU SPEAK OF LARGE PEOPLE
GROUPS THAT'S NOT FOREIGN TO US
00:02:19.83\00:02:24.87
WHO HAVE SOME
CONTACT WITH MEDIA TODAY.
00:02:26.91\00:02:29.68
BUT YOUR TALKING ABOUT GREAT
RELIGIOUS COLLECTIONS OF PEOPLE
00:02:29.71\00:02:34.78
LIKE HINDUS AND OF COURSE THERE
ARE BUDDHISTS AS WELL AND
MUSLIMS, THAT KIND OF
00:02:38.35\00:02:43.39
PEOPLE GROUP?
00:02:46.33\00:02:47.30
WE ARE.
00:02:47.30\00:02:48.26
WHERE WE'VE WORKED FOR YEARS.
00:02:48.30\00:02:49.73
WELL AND THE ISSUE FOR MANY OF
US IS WHEN I THINK OF A MUSLIM
00:02:49.76\00:02:56.20
AND YOU THINK OF A MUSLIM THE
MEDIA HAS PRETTY MUCH TOLD US
WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO THINK.
00:02:56.24\00:03:01.38
YES, THEY DEFINE FOR US.
00:03:01.41\00:03:02.81
AND IT'S ALL ABOUT ISIS AND IT'S
ALL ABOUT THE ATROCITIES, IT'S
00:03:02.84\00:03:08.42
ALL ABOUT THINGS
THAT ARE NOT GOING WELL.
00:03:08.45\00:03:11.59
BUT MY POINT TODAY IS THAT THERE
ARE MANY PEOPLE IN THESE GROUPS
00:03:11.62\00:03:16.69
THAT GOD IS REACHING TO WHO ARE
VERY VERY SADDENED BY THE WAY
THAT CERTAIN GROUPS OF
00:03:19.73\00:03:24.73
PEOPLE ARE
HIJACKING THEIR RELIGION.
00:03:29.50\00:03:33.41
AND YOU KNOW I THINK WE CAN
IDENTIFY, AS CHRISTIAN
BACKGROUND PEOPLE, WE LOOK
00:03:33.44\00:03:40.28
TO PLACES IN THE WORLD WHERE
THERE HAVE BEEN CONFLICTS AND WE
00:03:40.32\00:03:45.05
SAID IT WAS CREATED BY CONFLICTS
BETWEEN RELIGIOUS PEOPLE,
BETWEEN CHRISTIAN PEOPLE,
00:03:45.09\00:03:49.86
PROTESTANTS, CATHOLICS AND OTHER
KINDS OF GROUPS HAVING CONFLICTS
00:03:49.89\00:03:54.83
THAT END UP IN YEARS AND
YEARS AND GENERATIONS OF WAR.
00:03:54.86\00:03:57.47
YOU KNOW I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT FOR OUR VIEWERS.
00:03:57.50\00:04:01.50
I KNOW BECAUSE OF MY CONNECTION
WITH YOU BUT I THINK THE
00:04:01.54\00:04:06.47
IMPORTANT THING, HERE YOU ARE A
NORTH AMERICAN AND YOU'RE WORK
HAS BEEN IN NORTH AMERICA
00:04:06.51\00:04:12.91
BUT HOW DO YOU HAVE THIS
AWARENESS THAT YOU'RE TELLING US
00:04:12.95\00:04:18.29
ABOUT? WELL YES I'VE BEEN
IN NORTH AMERICA BUT I'VE BEEN
00:04:18.32\00:04:23.93
OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA ABOUT
AS MUCH BECAUSE I DID LIVE IN
THE MIDDLE EAST FOR A NUMBER
00:04:23.96\00:04:29.36
OF YEARS.
00:04:29.40\00:04:30.63
I DID LIVE IN THE SOVIET
UNION FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.
00:04:30.67\00:04:35.44
I DID LIVE IN ASIA FOR A NUMBER
OF YEARS AND IT JUST HAPPENS TO
00:04:35.47\00:04:41.18
BE THAT GOD PUT ME IN TOUCH
AND PUT ME IN AREAS WHERE LARGE
00:04:41.21\00:04:47.82
GROUPS OF MUSLIMS LIVED.
00:04:47.85\00:04:48.78
SO CERTAIN MUSLIM
PEOPLE HAVE TAUGHT ME A LOT.
00:04:48.82\00:04:51.39
THEY'VE BECOME
YOUR NEIGHBORS THEN.
00:04:51.42\00:04:53.39
THEY'RE MY NEIGHBORS
AND MY FRIENDS, ABSOLUTELY.
00:04:53.42\00:04:55.96
SO I HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF
RESPECT FOR OUR MUSLIM BROTHERS
00:04:55.99\00:05:00.86
AND SISTERS. AND I THOUGHT MAYBE
WE COULD JUST TALK JUST A LITTLE
00:05:00.90\00:05:03.83
BIT ABOUT SOME OF THE WAYS
GOD'S, YES WE WANT TO HEAR.
00:05:03.87\00:05:06.50
WHAT DO YOU KNOW, YOU ARE
CERTAIN YOU HAVE EVIDENCE THAT
00:05:06.53\00:05:12.64
GOD IS WORKING? WILL CLEARLY
GOD IS WORKING INSIDE OF LARGE
00:05:12.67\00:05:17.31
PEOPLE GROUPS. THERE ARE LARGE
MOVEMENTS THESE DAYS THAT ARE
LEARNING ABOUT WHO JESUS
00:05:17.35\00:05:23.35
IS.
00:05:23.39\00:05:24.35
INTERESTING.
00:05:24.39\00:05:25.75
WE CALL HIM IN THE KORAN, THAT'S
OF COURSE AN ORIGINAL WORK
00:05:25.79\00:05:31.46
WRITTEN IN ARABIC, THERE IS A
PERSON IN THE KORAN CALLED ISA
AND HE IS THE ONE WHO WAS
00:05:31.49\00:05:36.53
BORN OF A VIRGIN,
MARY, AND IS NAME IS ISA.
00:05:41.77\00:05:46.98
SO THAT IS JESUS.
00:05:47.01\00:05:48.84
THE KORAN IS
VERY CLEAR ABOUT THIS.
00:05:48.88\00:05:51.81
HE IS THE MAIN PRINCIPLE PRIMARY
HERO OF THE KORAN, ISA IS.
00:05:51.85\00:05:56.89
AND ISA HAS APPEARED TO
PEOPLE IN THIS DAY AND AGE.
00:05:58.99\00:06:04.36
WELL.
00:06:04.39\00:06:06.90
AND MY CURIOSITY, YOU FORGIVE
ME, WERE YOU IN THAT PART OF THE
00:06:06.93\00:06:13.17
COUNTRY LONG ENOUGH TO ALSO
MASTER SOME ARABIC SO YOU COULD
READ THE KORAN IN ARABIC?
00:06:13.20\00:06:18.27
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
00:06:20.54\00:06:21.98
AND I WOULD SAY IN THE ARABIC WE
WOULD SAY, SHWAY SHWAY, JUST A
00:06:22.01\00:06:27.35
LITTLE BIT, OF ARABIC.
00:06:27.38\00:06:29.32
UNFORTUNATELY IT'S NOT
AN EASY LANGUAGE TO MASTER.
00:06:29.35\00:06:33.12
BUT YOU COULD PICK OUT ISA.
00:06:33.15\00:06:34.99
WELL CERTAINLY, CERTAINLY.
00:06:35.02\00:06:36.09
OKAY.
00:06:36.12\00:06:37.59
BUT WE HAVE STUDIED, WE'VE TAKEN
THE TIME TO STUDY AND TRY TO
00:06:37.63\00:06:41.46
UNDERSTAND OUR MUSLIM NEIGHBORS
AND OUR MUSLIM FRIENDS AND THE
HOLY BOOK THE KORAN.
00:06:41.50\00:06:46.03
BUT I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT ONE
OF THE GROUPS OF PEOPLE THAT WE
00:06:46.07\00:06:52.54
GOT TO BECOME ACQUAINTED WITH.
00:06:52.57\00:06:54.01
IT ALL KIND OF STARTED MANY
HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO WHERE THEY
00:06:54.04\00:07:00.12
WERE FOLLOWERS OF
GOD, WORSHIPERS OF GOD.
00:07:00.15\00:07:01.55
BUT ONE DAY A YOUNG MAN, AND YOU
MAY HAVE HEARD THIS BEFORE, BUT
00:07:01.58\00:07:06.59
THERE WAS A YOUNG MAN IN THE
FAMILY AND WE'LL JUST CALL HIM
00:07:08.62\00:07:12.03
FERUKE. HE HAD A DREAM AND THE
DREAM SAID THAT HE WAS SUPPOSED
00:07:12.06\00:07:17.10
TO GO TO THE MAJOR
CITY NEAR WHERE THEY LIVED.
00:07:20.00\00:07:23.27
IN HIS DREAM HE
SAW A MAN IN WHITE.
00:07:23.30\00:07:27.71
THIS MAN IN WHITE APPEARED
TO HIM AND SAID MEET ME IN THE
00:07:27.74\00:07:34.48
MAJOR CITY. AND FERUKE TOLD HIS
BROTHERS AND HE TOLD IS MOTHER
00:07:34.52\00:07:38.12
ABOUT THIS DREAM. THE BROTHERS
JUST KIND OF LAUGHED AT HIM AND
SAID YOU KNOW YOUR JUST, YOU
00:07:38.15\00:07:44.73
KNOW YOU HAD TOO
MUCH SOMETHING TO EAT.
00:07:44.76\00:07:48.36
BUT THE MOTHER
SAID NO LET'S LISTEN.
00:07:48.40\00:07:50.93
YOU KNOW HE'S A SPECIAL SON.
00:07:50.97\00:07:52.73
THERE MAY BE SOMETHING TO THIS.
00:07:52.77\00:07:55.40
SO SHE FIXED HIM UP WITH FOOD
AND SOME MONEY AND SENT HIM ON
00:07:55.44\00:08:01.34
HIS WAY. NOW THIS
WAS NOT A SMALL JOURNEY.
00:08:01.38\00:08:03.41
THEY LIVED OUT IN THE DESERT SO
HE HAD TO WALK FOR QUITE A LONG
00:08:03.45\00:08:08.52
DISTANCE LIKE 30 KILOMETERS OR
SO YOU KNOW, SEVERAL, SEVERAL,
00:08:11.05\00:08:17.16
SEVERAL, A GOOD BIT OF WALKING
THAT HE TRAVELED ACROSS TO WHERE
HE COULD REACH THE TRAIN.
00:08:17.19\00:08:21.53
ONCE HE GOT ON THE TRAIN THEN HE
HAD A DAYS JOURNEY TO THE CITY
00:08:21.56\00:08:26.37
AND HE BEGAN LOOKING
FOR THIS MAN IN WHITE.
00:08:26.40\00:08:29.47
EVERYWHERE HE WOULD GO
HE WOULD TRY TO FIND HIM.
00:08:29.50\00:08:31.71
HE WOULD CHECK HERE AND CHECK
THERE AND HE JUST, YOU KNOW DAY
00:08:31.74\00:08:35.58
ONE WENT BY AND DAY TWO WENT BY
AND DAY THREE WENT BY AND HE WAS
00:08:35.61\00:08:41.22
HAVING NO SUCCESS. HE RAN OUT OF
MONEY, HE RAN OUT OF FOOD AND HE
DIDN'T EVEN HAVE ENOUGH
00:08:41.25\00:08:44.09
MONEY TO BUY A
TRAIN TICKET HOME.
00:08:44.12\00:08:49.32
BUT HE THOUGHT WELL I'LL SEE
IF I CAN SOMEHOW GET BACK ON THE
00:08:49.36\00:08:55.00
TRAIN. WHEN HE WAS AT THE TRAIN
STATION HE FELT A HAND ON HIS
00:08:55.03\00:09:00.44
SHOULDER, TURNED AROUND
AND THERE WAS THE MAN IN WHITE.
00:09:00.47\00:09:02.74
THE MAN IN WHITE TOOK HIM TO
LUNCH AND THEN HE SAID, I'M
GOING TO MEET YOU IN
00:09:02.77\00:09:07.81
YOUR COMMUNITY BACK
HOME, BACK HOME IN THE DESERT.
00:09:10.15\00:09:12.11
SO YOU GO ON BACK.
00:09:12.15\00:09:13.35
HE GAVE HIM SOME MONEY FOR THE
TRAIN TICKET AND SENT HIM BACK.
00:09:13.38\00:09:15.12
AND THEN A FEW DAYS LATER
THE MAN IN WHITE SHOWED UP.
00:09:15.15\00:09:17.12
JUST HERE HE IS?
00:09:17.15\00:09:18.35
HE WAS JUST THERE AND HE STAYED
WITH THE FAMILY FOR 90 DAYS.
00:09:18.39\00:09:20.12
EACH DAY HE
WOULD MEET WITH FERUKE.
00:09:20.16\00:09:22.12
HE WOULD TEACH FERUKE TRUTHS OF
GOD AND THEN FERUKE WOULD SHARE
00:09:22.16\00:09:27.40
THEM WITH THE
REST OF HIS FAMILY.
00:09:27.46\00:09:32.47
HE WAS VISIBLE
TO THE WHOLE FAMILY?
00:09:46.48\00:09:48.78
YES, YES.
00:09:48.82\00:09:50.72
HE STAYED WITH THEM.
00:09:50.75\00:09:52.12
BUT HE CHOSE TO TEACH ONLY
FERUKE AND NOT OTHER MEMBERS OF
00:09:52.15\00:09:56.29
THE FAMILY? THAT WAS THE
PRIMARY WAY THAT IT WORKED.
00:09:56.32\00:09:58.29
FERUKE OVER THE YEARS, BY THE
WAY HE DID PASS AWAY A NUMBER OF
00:09:58.33\00:10:05.10
YEARS AGO, NOT VERY MANY YEARS
AGO, AN OLDER MAN BY NOW, HE HAD
A WHOLE LIFE OF INTERESTING
00:10:05.13\00:10:11.71
EXPERIENCES WHERE MAYBE A DOZEN
OR MAYBE 17 OR 18 TIMES HE MET
00:10:11.74\00:10:17.91
WITH THE MAN IN WHITE AT
DIFFERENT TIMES ALONG THE WAY.
00:10:17.95\00:10:21.15
BUT THIS GROUP OF
PEOPLE, HE NOW TEACHES.
00:10:21.18\00:10:24.32
FERUKE WAS THE MAIN TEACHER
FOR HIS PEOPLE SO HE WAS THE
00:10:24.35\00:10:30.86
PATRIARCH, HE WAS
THE LEADER FOR HIS CLAN.
00:10:30.89\00:10:33.76
THEY HAD A BIG DEBATE, AS ONE OF
THE THINGS THAT THE MAN IN WHITE
00:10:33.80\00:10:39.03
TAUGHT THEM WAS TO
HONOR GOD'S HOLY SABBATH.
00:10:39.07\00:10:44.17
NOW THEY HAD SOME TRADITIONS
BECAUSE THEY KNEW ABOUT THE
00:10:44.21\00:10:48.84
SABBATH BUT THEY HAD
KIND OF LOST THEIR WAY.
00:10:48.88\00:10:52.31
SO FERUKE BROUGHT
THIS BACK TO THEM.
00:10:52.35\00:10:55.22
WELL, IN MORE RECENT TIMES THE
FAMILY, THE TRIBE, HAD COME IN
00:10:55.25\00:11:00.36
CONTACT WITH SOME
OTHER CHRISTIANS AS WELL.
00:11:04.06\00:11:06.33
AND THEY HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS
AND THEY ACTUALLY HAD A BIG
00:11:06.36\00:11:11.13
COUNCIL ABOUT WHETHER THEY
WERE GOING TO GO WITH SUNDAY OR
00:11:11.17\00:11:15.34
SABBATH WORSHIP. THEY SETTLED ON
STAYING WITH SABBATH ALL BECAUSE
THE MAN IN WHITE, LONG
00:11:15.37\00:11:20.44
AGO, HAD INTRODUCED HIMSELF TO
THESE PEOPLE AND INTRODUCED THEM
00:11:23.75\00:11:27.78
TO GOD'S TRUTHS AND REINTRODUCED
THEM TO A MORE COMPLETE
00:11:27.82\00:11:31.52
UNDERSTANDING OF
WHERE GOD WAS LEADING.
00:11:31.55\00:11:34.06
AND BY THE WAY, JUST SO IT'S
NOT SEEN AS A FOREIGN IDEA, THE
00:11:34.09\00:11:39.16
KORAN IS CLEAR ABOUT THE CREATOR
GOD WHO CREATED THE WORLD IN SIX
DAYS AND RESTED ON THE
00:11:41.90\00:11:46.67
SABBATH DAY.
00:11:46.70\00:11:48.60
THERE'S EVEN A LITTLE COUNCIL
IN THERE, A CURSE IF YOU FAIL TO
00:11:48.64\00:11:54.98
KEEP HOLY THE SABBATH.
00:11:55.01\00:11:56.68
SO THIS TEACHING OF THE MAN IN
WHITE TO FERUKE AND HIS
RELATIVES, HIS WHOLE
00:11:56.71\00:12:01.85
TRIBE, MADE A SPECIFIC IMPACT
SO THAT IN MORE RECENT TIMES THE
00:12:09.72\00:12:14.76
ISSUE OF THE SABBATH HAS BECOME
AN IMPORTANT POINT OF FAITH AND
TRUST IN FOLLOWING THE
00:12:20.00\00:12:25.07
MAN IN WHITE.
00:12:27.38\00:12:28.78
IT IS ENTERING INTO THE
REDEMPTIVE NATURE OF THIS MAN IN
00:12:28.81\00:12:30.35
WHITE, WHAT HE OFFERS.
00:12:30.38\00:12:31.45
IT'S THE SALVATION AS WE
REST ON THE SABBATH IN HIM.
00:12:31.48\00:12:33.35
TREMENDOUS TO
SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING.
00:12:33.38\00:12:35.35
HERE WE ARE MIKE IN THE 21ST
CENTURY AND THIS IS, I CAN'T
00:12:35.38\00:12:38.62
THINK OF A BETTER WORD,
THIS IS A FASCINATING STORY.
00:12:38.65\00:12:43.73
HERE WE ARE IN THE 21ST CENTURY.
00:12:55.64\00:12:58.74
ARE YOU HERE TO TELL US THAT
THERE ARE REMNANTS OF THIS STORY
00:12:58.77\00:13:03.91
STILL EXISTING
SOME PLACE IN OUR WORLD?
00:13:05.85\00:13:07.15
WELL THIS TRIBE IS A TRIBE
THAT SPREADS ACROSS SEVERAL
00:13:07.18\00:13:12.12
COUNTRIES. IT'S LARGE,
A MILLION OR THEREABOUTS.
00:13:12.15\00:13:16.86
AND SO THE WORK OF THIS MAN
IN WHITE COMING TO FERUKE THEN
00:13:16.89\00:13:21.93
PASSING THE MANTEL TO HIS
OFFSPRING ARE CONTINUING TODAY
TO LEAD A GROUP OF PEOPLE,
00:13:24.13\00:13:29.20
SPREAD ACROSS THESE COUNTRIES,
WHO ARE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS.
00:13:33.07\00:13:37.31
NOW I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO SHARE
SOME THINGS WITH US ABOUT OTHER
00:13:37.35\00:13:40.98
PEOPLE GROUPS HERE AS WELL.
00:13:41.02\00:13:43.18
BUT HERE WE ARE IN FELLOWSHIP,
IF I MAY, WITH OUR GOSPEL
00:13:43.22\00:13:48.29
OUTREACH VIEWERS, ABSOLUTELY,
AND WHAT IS THE POINT WE WANT TO
MAKE WITH THEM AS WE
00:13:50.99\00:13:56.03
ARE RECOGNIZING THE DIVINE
INTERVENTION INTERCESSION THAT
00:14:01.00\00:14:06.07
BEGAN WITH FERUKE. WHAT ARE
WE WANTING TO SAY TO OUR GOSPEL
00:14:09.01\00:14:12.98
OUTREACH FAMILY? WELL CAN I JUST
SAY, ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE, WHEN
YOU WALK INTO THE WALMART AND
00:14:13.01\00:14:19.52
YOU SEE SOMEBODY WITH THEIR HEAD
COVERED AND YOU WONDER WHO IS
00:14:19.55\00:14:24.63
THIS, OR YOU SEE YOUR NEIGHBORS
OUT TAKING A WALK IN THE
COMMUNITY, FIRST THING WE
00:14:28.50\00:14:35.00
AS ADVENTIST BELIEVERS ARE
IDEALLY SUITED TO BEFRIEND THESE
00:14:35.04\00:14:40.11
PEOPLE. YOU KNOW, YOU CAN
IMAGINE WHAT IT MUST BE LIKE TO
COME AND LIVE IN AMERICA
00:14:42.28\00:14:47.32
WHEN THE NEWS EVERY SINGLE DAY
IS ALL ABOUT HOW TERRIBLE ISLAM
00:14:50.09\00:14:56.29
IS AND ALL THE TERRIBLE
THINGS THAT ISIS IS DOING.
00:14:56.32\00:14:58.29
OKAY, LET ME TRY AND
SUMMARIZE WHAT YOU'VE JUST SAID.
00:14:58.33\00:15:01.03
I'M JUST SAYING WE'VE GOT TO
BE FRIENDS WITH THESE PEOPLE AND
00:15:01.06\00:15:04.70
LET THEM KNOW. AND YOU GOT TO
LIVE NEIGHBORS WITH THESE PEOPLE
FOR A PERCENTAGE OF
00:15:04.73\00:15:09.74
YOUR LIFE.
00:15:09.77\00:15:10.74
CERTAINLY.
00:15:10.77\00:15:12.24
AND YOU'RE SAYING TO US AS A
GOSPEL OUTREACH FAMILY, AS WE
00:15:12.27\00:15:16.85
INTERACT WITH THE PEOPLE OF OUR
WORLD, WHOEVER WE ARE WHEREVER
WE ARE AND WE SEE THOSE FOLKS
00:15:24.02\00:15:29.09
WHO ARE EVIDENTIALLY FOLLOWERS
OF THE ISLAMIC FAITH, THAT WE
00:15:31.43\00:15:36.46
ARE TO TREAT THEM WITH
PARTICULAR FRIENDSHIP,
ABSOLUTELY, BECAUSE AND I'M
00:15:40.04\00:15:45.94
ADDING THIS NOW, BECAUSE THEY
ARE POSSIBLY SOMEHOW DESCENDANTS
00:15:45.97\00:15:51.05
OF FERUKE AND HIS EXPERIENCE
WITH THE MAN IN WHITE.
00:15:55.65\00:15:57.62
WELL EXACTLY BECAUSE ANYBODY,
ANYBODY WHO IS A FOLLOWER OF
00:15:57.65\00:16:03.02
ISLAM OBVIOUSLY HAS THE FATHER
ABRAHAM AND WE'RE ALL CHILDREN
00:16:03.06\00:16:08.10
OF ABRAHAM BUT YOU AND I,
OBVIOUSLY SINCE WE'RE NOT JEWS
WE'RE TECHNICALLY NOT, BUT WE
00:16:10.57\00:16:14.97
ARE BY THE SPIRITUAL NATURE AND
SO ARE THE FOLLOWERS OF ISLAM.
00:16:15.00\00:16:21.04
BUT OUR JOB, SEE DAN, IS TO,
IS TO LOOK FOR PEOPLE, LOOK FOR
00:16:21.08\00:16:27.62
DIVINE APPOINTMENTS WHERE GOD
INVITES US TO FOLLOW UP ON
INTRODUCING ISA TO THE
00:16:27.65\00:16:34.56
PEOPLE OF ISLAM.
00:16:34.59\00:16:36.66
YOU HAVE BROUGHT US A SPECIAL
CHALLENGE AND SOMETHING TO THINK
00:16:36.69\00:16:43.37
ABOUT. I WANT TO GO RIGHT NOW TO
A LITTLE INTERLUDE IN OUR
PROGRAM THAT HAS BEEN
00:16:43.40\00:16:48.47
PREPARED ON BEHALF
OF CHILDREN BY CHILDREN.
00:16:50.61\00:16:54.14
SO YOU WATCH.
00:16:54.18\00:16:55.44
I NEED TO SPREAD
THE GOSPEL HERE AT HOME.
00:16:55.48\00:17:01.18
WHERE IS THE
10/40 WINDOW ANYWAY?
00:17:01.22\00:17:04.92
THOSE PEOPLE LIVE TOO FAR AWAY.
00:17:04.95\00:17:07.49
SOMEONE ELSE CAN
TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS.
00:17:07.52\00:17:10.13
MAYBE THEY COULD JUST WATCH TV.
00:17:10.16\00:17:12.99
NEARLY THREE
BILLION PEOPLE TO REACH.
00:17:13.03\00:17:15.86
MY HEAD HURTS.
00:17:15.90\00:17:17.30
THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO.
00:17:17.33\00:17:19.70
I GIVE UP.
00:17:19.73\00:17:21.14
WHAT'S THE POINT OF TRYING?
00:17:21.17\00:17:23.54
I CAN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:17:23.57\00:17:25.94
ACTUALLY YOU CAN
MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:17:25.97\00:17:28.81
AND JESUS ASKED YOU
TO GO TO ALL THE WORLD.
00:17:28.84\00:17:33.62
WHERE?
00:17:33.65\00:17:34.62
ALL THE WORLD.
00:17:34.65\00:17:35.78
HOW CAN I GO, I
HAVE COMMITMENTS.
00:17:35.82\00:17:37.99
YOU CAN PRAY.
00:17:38.02\00:17:40.09
YOU CAN VOLUNTEER YOUR TALENTS.
00:17:40.12\00:17:44.99
YOU CAN TELL OTHERS.
00:17:45.03\00:17:49.00
YOU CAN GIVE MONEY TO
SPONSOR BIBLE WORKERS.
00:17:49.03\00:17:51.83
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE
SEARCHING FOR HOPE AND MEANING.
00:17:51.87\00:17:54.80
BUT THEY WON'T
FIND IT WITHOUT YOU.
00:17:54.84\00:17:56.94
BE THE SPARK.
00:17:56.97\00:17:58.44
LIGHT THE FIRE.
00:17:58.47\00:18:00.51
FINISH THE WORK.
00:18:00.54\00:18:03.31
FINISH THE WORK.
00:18:03.35\00:18:06.08
BE THE SPARK.
00:18:06.11\00:18:08.88
WELL, KIDS AS CUTE AS THAT COULD
LIGHT A SPARK WITH ANYBODY.
00:18:08.92\00:18:13.72
EVEN YOU I HOPE AND THANK
YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATING WITH
00:18:13.76\00:18:18.93
GOSPEL OUTREACH. MIKE PORTER,
YOU HAVE STOPPED ME HERE TO
THINK ABOUT SOME THINGS THAT
00:18:18.96\00:18:23.97
WEREN'T ON MY AGENDA AND I THINK
THAT'S WHY WE'RE DOING THIS
00:18:27.74\00:18:32.81
HOPING TO PUT THIS ON THE AGENDA
OF SOME OF OUR FELLOW BELIEVERS.
00:18:34.94\00:18:38.01
NOW WE'VE BARELY SCRATCHED THE
SURFACE WITH THE STORY OF
FERUKE, BUT YOU TOLD ME
00:18:38.05\00:18:43.22
THAT THERE ARE SOME OF THESE
PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO HAVE A
00:18:43.25\00:18:49.16
SABBATH TRADITION. WELL IT IS
TRUE THAT WE'RE DISCOVERING
PEOPLE GROUPS HERE AND THERE AND
00:18:49.19\00:18:54.20
ONE PARTICULAR GROUP THAT SOME
OF OUR LEADERS DISCOVERED JUST
00:18:56.70\00:19:02.00
FAIRLY RECENTLY. IT'S A GROUP
THAT SAYS YES WE HAVE SABBATH
TRADITIONS IN OUR ISLAMIC
00:19:02.04\00:19:08.38
TRADITIONS BUT
THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY.
00:19:08.41\00:19:11.48
THEY KNEW THAT THEY DIDN'T DO
HEAVY WORK, THEY DIDN'T DO THEIR
00:19:11.51\00:19:17.29
MAIN BUSINESS ON SABBATH AND
THAT WAS STILL PART OF THEIR WAY
00:19:17.32\00:19:23.12
OF LIVING. BUT WHEN OUR WORKERS
OUR FRIENDS STARTED TALKING WITH
THEM THEY WERE AMAZED
00:19:23.16\00:19:28.20
TO FIND OUT THAT
THEY HAD THESE TRADITIONS.
00:19:31.97\00:19:34.67
AND WHEN THEY ASKED THEM,
WELL WHY DO YOU DO THIS, WELL WE
00:19:34.70\00:19:39.34
REALLY DON'T KNOW IT'S
SOMETHING ABOUT CREATION.
00:19:39.37\00:19:42.54
THEY REALLY HAD LOST
TRACK OF WHY THEY DID THIS.
00:19:42.58\00:19:47.58
SO SOME OF OUR FRIENDS SIMPLY
SAID WELL I THINK I MIGHT KNOW
00:19:47.62\00:19:52.69
AND THEY TOOK THEM TO THE KORAN
AND THEY WALKED THROUGH THE
KORANS TEACHINGS ABOUT THE
00:19:54.76\00:20:00.30
CREATOR GOD WHO RESTED ON
THE SABBATH DAY AND MADE SABBATH
00:20:00.33\00:20:06.53
HOLY. SO THEY TOOK THEM THERE.
00:20:06.57\00:20:07.94
AND THEN FROM THERE THE
DISCUSSION CONTINUES BECAUSE
00:20:07.97\00:20:11.94
THEY REALIZED THAT THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT GOD PROVIDED,
IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS TO DO
00:20:11.97\00:20:18.78
WITH ISA AND FROM THERE THEY
WERE ABLE TO GO THEN TO THE NEW
TESTAMENT TEACHINGS AND
00:20:18.81\00:20:24.45
UNDERSTAND THE ONE WHO
TAUGHT A LOT ABOUT THE SABBATH.
00:20:24.49\00:20:28.22
SO YOU ARE INTRODUCING TO SOME
OF US, FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE
00:20:28.26\00:20:33.33
IDEA THAT THE KORAN TEACHES MUCH
OF WHAT WE WHO CHOOSE AND SEEK
TO FOLLOW JESUS HAVE BELIEVED
00:20:37.30\00:20:42.37
ALL THE TIME AND IT'S THERE FOR
THEM BUT THEY NEED SOMEBODY TO
00:20:47.31\00:20:52.91
HELP THEM UNDERSTAND.
00:20:52.95\00:20:54.38
WELL REMEMBER THE STORY OF
THE ETHIOPIAN GENTLEMAN WHO WAS
00:20:54.42\00:20:58.72
RIDING ALONG IN HIS CHARIOT.
00:20:58.75\00:21:00.32
HE IS READING THE BOOK OF ISAIAH
AND GOD INSTRUCTED PHILLIP, THE
00:21:00.36\00:21:04.89
LOWLY DEACON BY THE
WAY, TO GO TO SPEAK TO HIM.
00:21:07.30\00:21:12.20
AND THE QUESTION WAS DO YOU
UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE READING.
00:21:12.23\00:21:16.57
WELL HOW CAN I WITHOUT
SOMEBODY TO EXPLAIN IT TO ME.
00:21:16.60\00:21:21.71
SOMETIMES GOD USES PEOPLE,
GOSPEL OUTREACH PEOPLE TO GO AND
EXPLAIN THINGS LIKE
00:21:21.74\00:21:27.68
THIS.
00:21:27.72\00:21:28.82
SOMETHING THAT HAS JUST
KIND OF GOTTEN LOST IN HISTORY.
00:21:28.85\00:21:30.65
IT'S GOTTEN LOST IN CHRISTIANITY
AS WELL BUT IT STILL IS PART OF
00:21:30.69\00:21:36.06
GOD'S REVEALED WORD.
00:21:36.09\00:21:37.06
IT'S PART OF HIS PLAN.
00:21:37.09\00:21:38.69
IT IS PART OF THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS AND IT IS PRIMARILY
00:21:38.73\00:21:45.37
ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE IT
POINTS US TO RESTING IN JESUS.
00:21:45.40\00:21:49.47
IN OUR LIMITED TIME MIKE YOU'VE
ALSO INDICATED WHILE THIS IS A
00:21:49.50\00:21:54.58
MODERN DIVINE PHENOMENA AMONG
MUSLIMS, THERE ARE SOME
WONDERFUL THINGS HAPPENING
00:21:58.11\00:22:04.89
AMONG HINDUS AS WELL.
00:22:04.92\00:22:06.32
WELL IT'S TRUE.
00:22:06.35\00:22:07.62
YOU KNOW THE GOSPEL OUTREACH
PEOPLE ARE WORKING IN A LOT OF
00:22:07.66\00:22:12.13
PEOPLE GROUPS.
00:22:12.16\00:22:13.56
AND GOSPEL OUTREACH STARTED
ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO AND IT HAD AS
00:22:13.60\00:22:18.47
ITS GOAL TO WORK WITH PEOPLE
THAT HAD NO CONNECTION TO GOD.
00:22:20.57\00:22:24.84
NOW THAT TAKES
IN A LOT OF PEOPLE.
00:22:24.87\00:22:28.61
SURE.
00:22:28.64\00:22:29.98
BUT THE DEFINITION HAS BEEN
REFINED OVER THE YEARS TO WHERE
00:22:30.01\00:22:36.38
A LOT OF GOSPEL OUTREACHES WORK
NOW IS WORKING WITH OTHER
BELIEVERS OF ONE SORT OR
00:22:36.42\00:22:41.06
ANOTHER.
00:22:41.09\00:22:42.56
AND IN SOME RESPECTS EVEN WE
WOULD SAY THAT'S THE CASE WITH
00:22:42.59\00:22:47.40
MUSLIMS BECAUSE MUSLIMS ARE
CLEARLY PEOPLE OF GREAT FAITH
PRAYING FIVE TIMES A DAY.
00:22:47.46\00:22:52.70
BUT ADVENTISTS HAVE A PARTICULAR
OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE WE HAVE SO
00:22:52.73\00:22:57.31
MUCH IN COMMON TO BE ABLE
TO UNDERSTAND AND WORK TOGETHER
00:22:57.34\00:23:01.38
WITH OUR MUSLIM
BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
00:23:01.41\00:23:03.38
IN THE HINDU WORLD ONE OF MY
GOOD FRIENDS WAS INVITED TO COME
00:23:03.41\00:23:08.48
AND MEET THE CHIEF HIGH PRIEST.
00:23:11.02\00:23:12.92
NOW HE DIDN'T KNOW WHY
HE WAS GOING TO GO SEE HIM.
00:23:12.95\00:23:17.83
HE WASN'T DRESSED PROPERLY
OR ANYTHING BUT HE SHOWED UP AND
00:23:17.86\00:23:23.00
THE CHIEF PRIEST SAID, SO WHAT
IS YOUR FAMILY NAME AND HE TOLD
00:23:23.03\00:23:25.47
HIM. AND HE SAID, OH THIS IS THE
FAMILY NAME OF THE FOUNDER OF
00:23:25.50\00:23:32.11
THIS VERY FAMOUS
HINDU GROUP OF PEOPLE.
00:23:32.14\00:23:35.61
SO HE WAS SUDDENLY TREATED
AS ROYALTY LIKE HE WAS REALLY
00:23:35.64\00:23:39.68
REALLY SOMEBODY VERY SPECIAL.
00:23:39.71\00:23:40.65
AND THE PRIEST SAID WE
WANT YOU TO TALK TO US.
00:23:40.68\00:23:44.15
WELL MY FRIEND IS SCRATCHING HIS
HEAD YOU KNOW, HE'S SAYING WELL
00:23:44.19\00:23:50.39
YOU KNOW WHAT AM I
SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT.
00:23:50.43\00:23:52.39
HE'S PRAYING QUICKLY TO GOD
SAYING YOU KNOW WHAT SHOULD I
00:23:52.43\00:23:55.83
TALK TO THESE PEOPLE ABOUT.
00:23:55.86\00:23:56.83
HE DIDN'T KNOW THEM AT ALL.
00:23:56.87\00:23:57.77
HE DIDN'T KNOW THAT
HE WAS GOING TO BE THERE.
00:23:57.80\00:23:59.83
HE WASN'T DRESSED FOR THE
OCCASION BECAUSE YOU KNOW HE WAS
00:23:59.87\00:24:04.04
SEEN AS A VERY HIGHLY REVERED
TEACHER BECAUSE OF HIS
CONNECTIONS WITH HIS FAMILY
00:24:04.07\00:24:10.75
NAME. SO WHEN HE, HE
STARTED ASKING SOME QUESTIONS.
00:24:10.78\00:24:13.82
HE SAID WHAT IS THE GREATEST
DESIRE AMONG THE HINDUS.
00:24:13.85\00:24:19.79
AND THE ANSWER WAS, WE'RE
LOOKING FOR THE COMING OF THE
00:24:19.82\00:24:24.49
CREATOR GOD. REALLY.
00:24:24.53\00:24:26.33
AND HE SAID LET ME
TELL YOU ABOUT HIM.
00:24:26.36\00:24:29.96
HE ALREADY CAME.
00:24:30.00\00:24:31.50
HIS NAME IS JESUS.
00:24:31.53\00:24:33.13
HE ALREADY CAME.
00:24:33.17\00:24:34.54
AND THEN HE OPENED THE DOOR AND
BEFORE THE DAY WAS OVER HE HAD
00:24:34.57\00:24:39.54
SEVERAL HUNDRED PEOPLE SITTING
THERE LISTENING TO HIM SHARING
00:24:39.57\00:24:46.11
ABOUT WHO JESUS IS.
00:24:46.15\00:24:47.48
SO UNBEKNOWNST TO US THERE HAS
BEEN A PRINCIPLE WITHIN HINDU
00:24:47.52\00:24:52.32
LIFE AND TEACHING
ABOUT CREATOR GOD?
00:24:55.62\00:24:58.79
ABSOLUTELY.
00:24:58.83\00:25:00.16
THERE IS A CREATOR GOD.
00:25:00.20\00:25:01.53
YOU KNOW WE ALWAYS SAY THAT
THE HINDUS HAVE TEN THOUSAND OR
00:25:01.56\00:25:04.90
WHATEVER THE NUMBERS ARE OF GODS
AND SO WE KIND OF DISMISS THIS
AND SAY WELL YOU KNOW THEY
00:25:04.93\00:25:10.11
MUST BE WHATEVER
WE THINK THEY ARE.
00:25:10.14\00:25:13.31
BUT MY FRIEND GOT TO THE
POINT AND HE SAID WAIT A MINUTE,
00:25:13.34\00:25:18.45
THEY'RE LOOKING FOR THE GOD OF
CREATION TO COME TO THE WORLD
AND HE SAID, GUESS WHAT, THE GOD
00:25:18.48\00:25:23.55
OF CREATION ALREADY CAME ABOUT
TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO IN THE
00:25:26.72\00:25:30.96
PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST.
00:25:30.99\00:25:31.96
HE IS HERE FOR YOU.
00:25:31.99\00:25:33.40
EVEN AS YOU HAVE CLARIFIED THAT
IN ISLAMIC THOUGHT JESUS IS THE
00:25:33.43\00:25:38.53
SUPERIOR PROPHET, YOU'RE
SUGGESTING THAT EVEN AMONG
HINDUS THERE IS AN AWARENESS OF
00:25:44.87\00:25:51.51
A SUPERIOR GOD OF CREATION.
00:25:51.55\00:25:54.38
ABSOLUTELY AND THEY'RE
LOOKING FOR HIM TO COME.
00:25:54.42\00:25:59.19
MIKE, IF YOU COULD SAY IN
TWO SENTENCES WHAT YOU HOPE OUR
00:25:59.22\00:26:05.56
GOSPEL OUTREACH FAMILY GLEANS
FROM THIS WHAT ARE THOSE TWO
00:26:05.59\00:26:09.50
SENTENCES? THE REASON GOSPEL
OUTREACH EXISTS IS TO TAKE THE
GOOD NEWS OF SALVATION TO THE
00:26:11.83\00:26:18.31
WORLD.
00:26:18.34\00:26:19.81
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS CONSTANTLY
SEEKING TO PUT PEOPLE IN CONTACT
00:26:19.84\00:26:26.11
IN PLACES WHERE THEY
CAN SHARE THIS GOOD NEWS.
00:26:26.15\00:26:29.98
WE NEED MORE PEOPLE.
00:26:30.02\00:26:32.65
WE NEED MORE
WORKERS DESPERATELY.
00:26:32.69\00:26:34.82
RIGHT NOW WE COULD PUT, WE
COULD PUT 300 WORKERS IN PLACE
00:26:34.86\00:26:40.96
TOMORROW IF WE HAD THE FUNDS.
00:26:40.96\00:26:42.23
THANK YOU MIKE.
00:26:42.26\00:26:43.67
GOD HAS USED YOU TO GIVE US
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT THAT WE
00:26:43.70\00:26:50.11
DON'T ALWAYS CONSIDER.
00:26:50.14\00:26:51.61
SO THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING WITH
US IN THIS PROGRAM ADVENTURES IN
00:26:51.64\00:26:58.45
MISSIONS AND MAY GOD LAY HIS
LOVING HAND UPON YOU TO IMPRESS
YOU WHO YOU OUGHT TO BE IN
00:26:58.48\00:27:03.62
GOSPEL OUTREACH TODAY

[CLOSING MUSIC]
00:27:55.47\00:28:00.61
