SPEED BOATS IN YOUR BACK YARD, NO CARS. 00:52 WE HAVE A CREEK IN OUR BACK YARD THOUGH DICK. 00:54 THAT'LL WORK. 00:55 YES, IT'S VERY NICE, LITTLE TROUT IN IT. 00:57 AND WHERE ARE YOU RESPONSIBLE FOR? 01:00 REGION 11. 01:01 REGION 11 WHICH SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING SCARY IN NEVADA. 01:07 ACTUALLY IT'S QUITE A LONG REGION FROM NORTH ORISSA ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE 01:15 CITY OF KADAPA WHICH IS IN SOUTH TAMIL NADU, RIGHT, NEAR TAMIL NADU. 01:20 WELL ACROSS THE NORTHWEST AND CENTER OF INDIA. 01:24 THAT'S RIGHT. 01:25 OKAY. 01:26 IT'S ABOUT A THOUSAND MILES FROM THE NORTHERN OFFICE. 01:30 DO YOU HAVE A HISTORY IN INDIA THE TWO OF YOU? 01:33 YES. 01:34 SO TELL ME WHAT YOU DID YEARS AGO THAT MADE YOU LOVE INDIA. 01:38 WELL WE HAVE BEEN IN INDIA 15 TIMES BEFORE I MEAN THIS LAST TRIP WAS OUR 01:44 15TH TIME AND WE'VE BEEN WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH TWO YEARS SO WE WERE THERE 13 01:49 TIMES BEFORE AND THEN WALTERS HAD THIS TERRITORY BEFORE US AND OUR PATHS 01:57 WOULD CROSS AND SO WHEN HE WAS RETIRING HE INVITED US TO COME AND TAKE OVER HIS 02:02 TERRITORY. 02:03 ORISSA WAS NEW TO US THOUGH. 02:05 ORISSA IS DIFFERENT AND NEW. 02:06 YES, IT'S NEW TO US AND VERY BEAUTIFUL. 02:10 NEW LANGUAGE, NEW DIALECTS FOR US. 02:12 WHAT DO YOU SPEAK ALREADY? 02:14 ENGLISH. 02:15 IT'S ENGLISH. 02:16 ENGLISH, OH COME ON. 02:18 ----------IS THANK YOU AND ------------- I MEAN ---------- YES. 02:24 WE SPEAK A LITTLE TELUGU. 02:28 WE'VE BEEN IN SOME OTHER AREAS IN CENTRAL AMERICA, RUSSIA AND NEPAL AND 02:33 MICRONESIA ON SOME OF OUR PREVIOUS TRIPS BUT WHEN WE REALIZED THE NEED IN INDIA 02:38 THAT'S WHERE WE'VE BEEN GOING FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS. 02:41 SO THIS WAS A NEED-BASED DECISION TO COME AND REALLY BE PART OF A PLACE 02:45 THAT YOU HAD FALLEN IN LOVE WITH. 02:47 THAT'S RIGHT. 02:48 WHAT DO YOU LIKE BEST ABOUT INDIA? 02:50 THE PEOPLE, THE PEOPLE. 02:52 THE WONDERFUL HOSPITALITY THEY SHOW. 02:55 THEY HAVE A GREAT LOVE AND SUPPORT FOR THE LEADERSHIP. 02:58 IT HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL SUPPORT FOR US. 03:00 WE'RE NOT DENOMINATIONAL WORKERS. 03:02 SO WE HAVE GONE ON FIVE MARANATHA TRIPS ONE OF THEM WAS TO NEPAL AND 03:09 HELPED OUT IN THREE OF THE SERIES OF THE EVENTS. 03:14 YOU KNOW THE BIG EVANGELISM CAMPAIGNS. 03:16 RIGHT. 03:17 SO THAT WAS OUR BEGINNING REALLY. 03:19 OKAY SO WHAT ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES NOW AND WHAT'S IT LIKE TRAVELING? 03:24 IF YOU'VE TRAVELED THAT MANY TIMES YOU MUST HAVE A TRAVEL STORY. 03:27 WE HAVE SO MANY. 03:28 I BET YOU HAVE SO MANY. 03:30 SO GIVE ME A GOOD TRAVEL STORY. 03:32 I'LL JUST TELL YOU ABOUT THE ONE THAT WE JUST HAD IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR. 03:37 WE SHOWED UP AT THE AIRPORT IN SPOKANE AND WE HAD SIX PIECES OF LUGGAGE. 03:41 WELL THAT SOUNDS ABOUT NORMAL, THAT'S THREE EACH. 03:44 THAT'S CORRECT AND WE THOUGHT WE COULD FLY WITH TWO FOR FREE AND WE'D PAY 03:48 FOR THE THIRD ONE BUT THEY WANTED TO CHARGE US FOR THE SECOND AND THE THIRD 03:54 ONE. 03:55 AND WE ACTUALLY SAW THE HOLY SPIRIT INTERVENE FOR US BECAUSE WHEN SHE SAID 04:00 IT WAS 75 DOLLARS FOR THE SECOND ONE I SAID OH MY AND THEN SHE SAID OH I SEE 04:05 YOU HAVE A THIRD ONE AND WE WANT 200 FOR THAT ONE. 04:08 SO IT WAS GOING TO COME OUT TO BE ABOUT 450 DOLLARS FOR EXTRA LUGGAGE. 04:14 AND I WAS STARTING TO CRY. 04:17 MY LOWER LIP STARTED TO QUIVER AND, FORGIVE ME BUT I UNDERSTAND, I SAID OH 04:22 NO. 04:23 WE AREN'T PREPARED TO DO THAT. 04:26 WE HAVE IN OUR LUGGAGE MAINLY CLOTHES FOR CHILDREN. 04:32 ALTHOUGH WE DID HAVE SOME MEGA VOICES. 04:34 OKAY, WE'LL COME BACK TO THAT. 04:35 AND WE ALSO HAD SOME LITTLE POCKET CALENDARS FOR OUR BIBLE WORKERS. 04:38 AND I SAID I WILL SHOW YOU AND SAID WELL LET ME GO TALK TO MY SUPERINTENDENT. 04:43 THEN SHE SAID I'LL GO AND CALL THE MAIN OFFICE. 04:48 NOW THIS IS SOMETHING, YOU KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE A TRIAL YOU LEARN. 04:51 WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. 04:52 THIS IS A CHANCE FOR THEM TO GET A GOOD TIP. 04:54 THAT'S RIGHT. 04:55 WHO IS THIS? 04:56 I THINK IT WAS UNITED WASN'T IT? 04:58 YES, UNITED AIRLINES. 04:59 ALRIGHT. 05:00 ANYWAY, THEY SAID IF WE HAD CALLED AND MADE PREARRANGEMENTS THEY WOULD 05:02 HAVE BEEN HAPPY TO TAKE OUR EXTRA LUGGAGE AT NO CHARGE. 05:05 SO YOU KNOW IN TRIALS. 05:07 SO DID YOU CALL? 05:08 DO YOU GO OUTSIDE AND CALL REAL QUICK? 05:10 NO. 05:12 SHE CALLED BECAUSE WE WERE THERE WAITING TO GET ON THE PLANE. 05:14 THEY WOULD NOT ALLOW. 05:16 I'M SORRY. 05:19 SO YOU TOOK ALL SIX. 05:20 WE DID TAKE ALL SIX. 05:21 BUT WHAT HAPPENED THERE, THIS WAS A MIRACLE, THE GAL THE AGENT WHO WORKED 05:26 WITH US SHE CHARGED US FOR THE SECOND PIECE OF LUGGAGE, THE THIRD PIECE 05:35 OF LUGGAGE SHE TOOK AT NO CHARGE. 05:37 GOOD FOR HER. 05:38 SHE DID AND SHE SAID YOU CAN DEPEND ON ME. 05:40 I'LL GET IT ON THE FLIGHT. 05:41 NOW RUN TO YOUR GATE, GET ON THE PLANE. 05:43 SO WE GOT OUR TAGS. 05:45 I SAID I'M NOT LEAVING WITHOUT MY LUGGAGE TAGS. 05:48 WE BARELY MADE IT. 05:49 AND WE BARELY MADE IT TO THE PLANE. 05:51 BUT WE DID HAVE A CHALLENGE BECAUSE THE LUGGAGE, IN ALL THE YEARS 05:55 WE'VE TRAVELED WE DIDN'T HAVE LOST LUGGAGE, MAYBE ONCE BEFORE. 05:59 BUT WHEN WE GOT TO MUMBAI WHICH IS THE ENTRY FOR INDIA AND THE CUSTOMS AND 06:05 ALL YOUR LUGGAGE WHERE YOU GO AND TAKE ALL YOUR LUGGAGE OFF, WE ONLY HAD 06:09 ONE SUITCASE. 06:10 OH NO. 06:11 IT'S TRUE. 06:12 AND GUESS WHOSE, IT WAS MINE. 06:13 I WAS SO GRATEFUL. 06:15 BECAUSE DEL CAN WEAR THE SAME PAIR OF LEVIS, YOU KNOW, YES LIKE FOREVER, 06:19 YES. 06:20 ANYWAY SO WE HAD A REAL CHALLENGE GETTING OUR LUGGAGE. 06:25 IT CAME IN BITS AND PIECES TO HYDERABAD WHERE A FRIEND PICKED IT UP FOR US 06:32 BECAUSE WE WERE ON A TRAIN AS SOON AS WE HIT HYDERABAD VERY SHORTLY IN 06:36 A FEW HOURS HEADED FOR ORISSA UP NORTH. 06:39 SO WE WERE THERE. 06:42 I HAD MY SUITCASE BUT DEL HAD NONE. 06:44 I MEAN HE HAD ANOTHER CHANGE OF CLOTHES BUT ANYWAY SO THAT'S KIND OF 06:48 ONE OF OUR TRAVEL STORIES. 06:49 BUT MOST OF THE TIME IT'S QUITE NICE ACTUALLY. 06:51 BUT I HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS LITTLE PART DICK. 06:55 I BECAME FIRST NAME BASIS WITH THE LUGGAGE GUY AT UNITED THERE IN MUMBAI. 07:01 WHERE IS OUR LUGGAGE. 07:03 HE NAME WAS, HERE I'M DRAWING A BLANK AND I'M SORRY. 07:08 THAT'S ALRIGHT IT WAS AWHILE AGO. 07:10 YES IT WAS. 07:11 ANYWAY HE WAS VERY GRACIOUS TO ME BUT THEY HAD ONE SUITCASE OF OURS 07:19 THAT THEY HAD A REAL CHALLENGE WITH GETTING THROUGH CUSTOMS AND IT WAS 07:23 WHERE WE HAD THE MEGA VOICES. 07:24 WE HAD 70 MEGA VOICES IN THAT SUITCASE. 07:27 OH MY. 07:28 OKAY, SO AT THIS POINT YOU NEED TO TELL ME WHAT I'M HOLDING. 07:30 DO YOU HAVE SOME SLIDES BY THE WAY THAT SHOW THIS? 07:36 YES WE DO. 07:37 WHERE ARE THE SLIDES? 07:38 OKAY AND THEN TELL ME WHAT I HAVE IN MY HAND. 07:42 THIS SHOWS, THE SLIDE IS OUR TERRITORY. 07:45 DEL OUTLINED THAT IN RED, WHICH WE COVER SO IT'S PRETTY EXTENSIVE. 07:50 WOW. 07:51 AND THEN WE HAVE SOME PICTURES OF BONNIE IN THE AIRPORT WAITING FOR OUR 07:56 LUGGAGE TO ARRIVE AND WE WAITED AND WAITED AND WAITED. 07:59 IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE ALL YOUR LUGGAGE. 08:01 IT DOES. 08:02 YOU MUST BE LIKE MY WIFE. 08:03 SHE TRAVELS WITH A 50 POUND PURSE. 08:05 THAT'S OUR CARRY ON. 08:06 NOT QUITE. 08:07 BY THE WAY, THEY ARE SO LIMITING ON THE WEIGHT NOW OF OUR CARRY ONS. 08:11 REALLY, WE COULD HAVE HAD A LOT MORE IN OUR CARRY ONS. 08:14 THEY'VE REALLY CHANGED THAT HAVEN'T THEY. 08:16 THEY HAVE. 08:17 THE ONLY WAY AROUND THAT I CAN TELL YOU IS TO BE A LIFE-TIME THREE MILLION 08:22 MILER WITH UNITED. 08:23 AND THEN THEY JUST SAY WELL HOW CAN WE HELP YOU. 08:25 THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. 08:26 SO YOU KNOW THE EXPERIENCE. 08:28 ANYWAY I HAD MY FACE COVERED BECAUSE YOU KNOW THE POLLUTION AND THE 08:32 CONTAMINATION THERE. 08:33 IT'S PRETTY HEFTY. 08:34 OKAY, THAT'S WHAT I HAVE IN MY HAND. 08:36 WHAT IS THIS? 08:37 IT'S A MEGA VOICE AND IT IS A WONDERFUL GIFT. 08:39 IT SAYS IF I PUSH THE BLUE BUTTON I GET ENGLISH GSS. 08:43 WHAT'S THAT. 08:44 THIS IS AN ENGLISH ONE BUT THOSE THAT YOU'RE SEEING THERE ON THE SLIDE IT HAS 08:51 ORIYA ON IT. 08:52 IT'S SOLAR POWERED TOO. 08:53 YOU CAN RECHARGE THE BATTERIES BY THE SUN. 08:55 OKAY SO IF YOU FLIP THAT OVER IS THAT THE NEXT SLIDE THAT SHOWS THE OTHER 08:58 SIDE OF IT? 08:59 IT DOES NOT SHOW THE OTHER SIDE. 09:01 IT SHOWS THE BIBLE WORKER RECEIVING THEM. 09:03 SO WHAT IS THIS AND HOW DOES IT WORK? 09:05 WHAT'S IT FOR? 09:06 IT HAS BIBLE STORIES ON IT. 09:08 IT HAS ALL OF THE BIBLE ON IT AND YOU CAN PUSH THE GO BUTTON AND IT WILL TELL 09:12 YOU, IT WILL TALK TO YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE. 09:14 SO IF I GO OVER HERE AND I PUSH ON/OFF, JUST PUSH IT, HOLD IT A LITTLE, HOLD IT. 09:20 OKAY I JUST TURNED IT, COME ON, SPEAK TO ME. 09:23 HOLD IT A LITTLE LONGER. 09:25 YOU HAVE TO HOLD IT DOWN A LITTLE LONGER. 09:29 THE SEAS, AND GOD SAW THAT IT WAS GOOD. 09:32 THEN GOD SAID, "LET THE EARTH BRING FORTH GRASS THAT YIELDS SEED AND A 09:38 FRUIT TREE THAT YIELDS FRUIT ACCORDING TO ITS" NOW I'M ASSUMING THEN THAT 09:43 THIS WORKS LIKE MOST STUFF WHERE IF I PUSH THE BUTTON NOW IT WILL GO TO THE NEXT 09:47 CHAPTER. 09:48 YES, RIGHT. 09:50 AND SO ALL OF THE BIBLE IS ON HERE. 09:53 RIGHT. 09:55 AND WHAT ELSE. 09:56 WELL YOU CAN PUT, YOU HAVE YOU KNOW AN OPTION OF WHAT YOU PUT ON YOUR MEGA 10:01 VOICES. 10:02 THESE ARE IN THE ORIYA LANGUAGE WHICH IS A NEW DIALECT FOR US SO WE'VE 10:07 TAKEN THESE BEFORE IN THE TELUGU. 10:09 THEY GO TO ORISSA. 10:10 THESE GO TO ORISSA. 10:11 OKAY. 10:12 I THINK STEPS TO CHRIST IS ON IT AND SOME DANIEL AND HIS THREE FRIENDS. 10:16 THERE ARE SOME BIBLE STORIES ON THERE. 10:18 BUT THAT IS WONDERFUL FOR THE PEOPLE THAT WE GO TO BECAUSE THEY CAN'T READ OR 10:23 WRITE AND SO THEY CAN LISTEN TO THIS. 10:26 AND ANOTHER THING THERE'S A LITTLE EARPLUG THAT GOES WITH IT. 10:30 OKAY. 10:31 YOU CAN KEEP IT IN YOUR POCKET OR THEY CAN PLUG THAT INTO THEIR MICROPHONE 10:34 AND IT WILL SPEAK THROUGH THEIR WHOLE VILLAGE. 10:36 TO THE WHOLE CHURCH BECAUSE IT'S GOT A LITTLE USB CABLE INSIDE. 10:39 THAT'S RIGHT. 10:40 IT'S A WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL THING. 10:42 AND TO THE WHOLE VILLAGE. 10:44 AND THE BACK SIDE OF THIS IS A FULL SOLAR CHARGER SO IT'S NOT LIKE THEY HAVE TO 10:48 HAVE AA BATTERIES OR ANYTHING OR PLUG IT IN. 10:50 THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT. 10:51 IT'S A WONDERFUL THING. 10:52 IT'S SUPPLIED BY 3 ABN OR ADVENTIST WORLD RADIO. 10:56 DO THEY DO SOMETHING SIMILAR? 10:57 YES I THINK THEY DO. 10:59 I DON'T KNOW. 11:00 THESE ARE SUPPLIED BY GOSPEL OUTREACH. 11:02 THIS IS AWESOME. 11:03 YES, IT'S A WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL THING TO TAKE. 11:06 SO YOU HAD 70 OF THEM IN YOUR BAG. 11:09 YES AND THEY WANTED TO KNOW WHAT WE WERE DOING AND WHAT WERE THEY AND 11:14 THEY WOULDN'T OPEN THE SUITCASE, THEY ONLY COULD SEE IT THROUGH THE X-RAY 11:17 OF THEIR MACHINE THERE. 11:19 BUT THEY THOUGHT, THEY SAW ALL THESE WIRES. 11:23 THEY THOUGHT THAT WE WERE TAKING BOMBS IN AND/OR WE WERE GOING TO SELL THEM. 11:28 WE HAD A REAL CHALLENGE. 11:30 AND I CALLED THEM, OH GASPER WAS HIS NAME, GASPER WAS HIS NAME. 11:37 HE WAS SO GREAT. 11:38 SO SOMEBODY SUGGESTED THAT I NOT KEEP CALLING THEM BECAUSE IT SOUNDED LIKE I 11:46 WAS DESPERATE TO GET IT AND MAYBE THERE WAS SOMETHING THERE. 11:49 I WAITED THREE WEEKS TO CALL THEM AND GOD HAD ANOTHER MAN IN CUSTOMS 11:56 ANSWER THE PHONE. 11:57 AND HE COULD SPEAK REALLY GOOD ENGLISH. 12:00 AND I TOLD HIM THAT THEY HAD BEEN HOLDING A SUITCASE FOR THREE WEEKS 12:05 OF MINE AND WE WERE CALLING TO SEE IF THEY WOULD PLEASE RELEASE IT. 12:11 BEFORE I CALLED HIM THE AGENT BEFORE HE WANTED 400 DOLLARS APPROXIMATELY FOR 12:17 THE FEE TO GET IT THROUGH. 12:20 AND HE WANTED ME TO COME ALL THE WAY FROM NORTH ORISSA DOWN AND COME DOWN 12:22 IN PERSON AND GET IT. 12:23 YES AND TAKE CARE OF IT. 12:25 IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE SO WE WERE REALLY DEPENDING UPON GOD. 12:26 SO LET ME TELL YOU, THE MAN WHO COULD SPEAK THE GOOD ENGLISH. 12:28 I SAID YOU HAVE A SUITCASE. 12:30 HE SAID WE NEVER HOLD ANYTHING IN OUR CUSTOMS FOR THREE WEEKS. 12:31 I SAID WELL YOU HAVE BEEN HOLDING THIS ONE AND I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH GASPER 12:33 AT UNITED AIRLINES. 12:35 HE'S WILLING TO COME GET IT IMMEDIATELY IF YOU'LL RELEASE IT. 12:47 HE TOLD ME IN TEN MINUTES YOU TELL GASPER TO BE HERE AND YOU HE CAN HAVE THAT 12:53 SUITCASE. 12:55 AND WE HAD THAT SUITCASE, GASPER GOT IT ON AN AIRLINE AND IT WAS IN 12:59 HYDERABAD THAT VERY AFTERNOON AT NO COST. 13:02 AT NO COST. 13:03 IT WAS EXCITING, IT WAS SO EXCITING. 13:05 BUT I DID HAVE TO WRITE A LETTER TO THE CUSTOMS THAT I WOULD NOT BE BRINGING 13:11 THINGS OF THIS VALUE AND SO MANY OF THEM IN THE FUTURE. 13:15 AT LEAST IN ONE SUITCASE. 13:16 THAT'S RIGHT. 13:17 NOW THEY WILL BE MIXED AROUND ALL THE SUITCASES. 13:19 THAT'S CORRECT. 13:20 OH MY. 13:21 HE WANTED TO KNOW WHAT WAS IN IT. 13:23 I SAID WELL STUFFED ANIMALS FOR THE CHILDREN. 13:25 YES. 13:27 MANY MANY TIMES AS I HAVE TRAVELED THE WORLD I HAVE GIVEN THESE, NOT THESE, 13:30 BUT OTHER THINGS AWAY. 13:31 I ALWAYS TAKE ABOUT TEN EXTRA AND THEY SALT ALL OVER THE WORLD. 13:36 YES, THAT'S GREAT, THAT'S RIGHT, FOR THE GOSPEL. 13:39 SO TRAVEL IS NOT AN EASY PART OF THE JOB. 13:42 OH NO, IT'S VERY TIRING. 13:43 YOU HAVE TO KEEP VERY PHYSICALLY FIT. 13:46 BECAUSE OUR POINTS ARE, WE HAVE TO TRAVEL OVER A THOUSAND MILES SO WE'VE 13:50 BEEN USING THE TRAIN AND WE USUALLY TRAVEL AT NIGHT TIME IN THE BERTHS AND 13:54 SLEEP ON THE TRAIN AND ARRIVE EARLY IN THE MORNING. 13:58 NOW I'VE RIDDEN IN INDIAN TRAINS SEVERAL TIMES. 14:00 HAVE YOU. 14:01 YES. 14:02 IT'S QUITE EXCITING ISN'T THOSE THREE TIERS. 14:04 YES. 14:05 OH MY YES. 14:07 DEL AND I NORMALLY GET THE TOP ONE BECAUSE THAT WAY WE CAN GO TO BED EARLY. 14:11 YES YOU CAN GO TO BED EARLY AND YOU CAN JUST SLEEP UP THERE WITH YOUR 14:13 NOSE RIGHT ON AND LISTEN TO THE ROAR. 14:16 YES. 14:17 IT'S DIFFERENT THAN ON THE VERY BOTTOM BECAUSE YOU GET JUGGLED AROUND A 14:20 LITTLE BIT THERE. 14:22 ANOTHER PART THAT SHE DIDN'T MENTION YET. 14:25 THE REASON WE HAD SIX PIECES OF LUGGAGE IS THAT WE HAD A LOT OF CLOTHES TO 14:28 DISTRIBUTE. 14:29 WE HAVE A LADY THAT'S A FRIEND OF OURS THAT HAS BEEN MAKING CLOTHES FROM 14:31 HER HOME AND I DON'T KNOW, I THINK WE HAVE A SLIDE OF THAT. 14:33 THIS IS A GENTLEMAN, OH THE GENTLEMAN USING THE MEGA VOICE. 14:43 RIGHT. 14:44 AWESOME. 14:45 AND THOSE ARE THE MEGA VOICES? 14:46 YES, ACTUALLY THESE ARE THE BIBLES. 14:49 IT'S THE NEXT SUBJECT I WAS GOING TO COVER. 14:52 WELL LET'S STOP RIGHT THERE THEN BECAUSE I WANT TO TAKE THOSE OF YOU WHO 14:55 ARE LISTENING, I WANT TO TAKE YOU TO A VERY SIMPLE QUESTION I KNOW YOU'RE 14:59 ASKING. 15:00 HOW CAN I HELP? 15:01 THAT'S RIGHT. 15:02 HERE IT IS. 15:03 I NEED TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL HERE AT HOME. 15:07 WHERE IS THE 10/40 WINDOW ANYWAY? 15:11 THOSE PEOPLE LIVE TOO FAR AWAY. 15:13 SOMEONE ELSE CAN TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS. 15:16 MAYBE THEY COULD JUST WATCH TV. 15:19 NEARLY THREE BILLION PEOPLE TO REACH. 15:22 MY HEAD HURTS. 15:23 THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO. 15:25 I GIVE UP. 15:27 WHAT'S THE POINT OF TRYING? 15:29 I CAN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE. 15:32 ACTUALLY YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. 15:34 AND JESUS ASKED YOU TO GO TO ALL THE WORLD. 15:39 WHERE? 15:40 ALL THE WORLD. 15:41 HOW CAN I GO, I HAVE COMMITMENTS. 15:44 YOU CAN PRAY. 15:46 YOU CAN VOLUNTEER YOUR TALENTS. 15:51 YOU CAN TELL OTHERS. 15:55 YOU CAN GIVE MONEY TO SPONSOR BIBLE WORKERS. 15:58 MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE SEARCHING FOR HOPE AND MEANING. 16:01 BUT THEY WON'T FIND IT WITHOUT YOU. 16:03 BE THE SPARK. 16:04 LIGHT THE FIRE. 16:06 FINISH THE WORK. 16:09 FINISH THE WORK. 16:12 BE THE SPARK. 16:14 WE'RE BACK AND WE'RE GOING TO GO DIRECTLY TO INDIA. 16:18 ALRIGHT. 16:19 SO I'VE GOT BONNIE AND DEL ORSER HERE AND YOU'RE GOING TO TELL ME ABOUT 16:22 BIBLES IN INDIA. 16:23 ALRIGHT. 16:24 SO TAKE ME TO THAT SLIDE AGAIN. 16:25 THE ONE WITH ALL THE RED BOXES AND LET'S SEE. 16:29 THIS IS KIND OF THE ENDING OF THE STORY BECAUSE WE HAVE REALLY MADE SURE THAT 16:34 ALL THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED THROUGH MARANATHA, THE EFFORTS WE 16:38 PUT ON, HAVE HAD BIBLES. 16:40 THIS LAST TIME WE WENT AND AS WE INTERVIEWED OUR BIBLE WORKERS WE 16:45 INTERVIEWED EVERY ONE OF THEM. 16:46 WE HAVE 192 BIBLE WORKERS WOULD YOU BELIEVE IN OUR TERRITORY AND IT'S BEEN A 16:51 CHALLENGE GOING AND INTERVIEWING THEM AND WE'VE GIVEN THEM A FORM TO 16:55 FILL OUT INDICATING HOW THEY'RE DOING. 16:57 WE NEED TO KNOW THEIR BACKGROUND AND WHY THEY'RE A BIBLE WORKER. 17:01 AND WE FOUND OUT THE GREAT NEED WAS FOR MORE BIBLES. 17:06 SO WE THIS LAST, ACTUALLY THEY ARE JUST BEING DISTRIBUTED NOW WE HAVE 17:10 BEEN ABLE TO RAISE FUNDS FOR OVER THREE THOUSAND BIBLES IN ACTUALLY FOUR 17:17 DIFFERENT DIALECTS. 17:19 AND SO CAN YOU IMAGINE JUST GETTING THAT MANY BIBLES TO THE DIFFERENT 17:24 AREAS OVER A THOUSAND MILES TO ALL THE CHURCHES AND THE BIBLE WORKERS. 17:28 SO THESE ARE PICTURES SHOWING THE DISTRIBUTION OF THOSE BIBLES. 17:33 IT'S EXCITING TO THINK THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY GET THERE. 17:36 YES. 17:38 THEY ARE ACTUALLY FROM THE INDIA BIBLE SOCIETY AND THE COST IS ABOUT TWO 17:42 DOLLARS A PIECE. 17:44 SO IF I GAVE YOU TWO DOLLARS YOU COULD ACTUALLY PROVIDE A BIBLE IN TELUGU. 17:48 THAT'S RIGHT. 17:50 ENGLISH, ENGLISH AND TELUGU. 17:52 AND ORIYA. 17:54 THAT'S EXCITING. 17:55 YES. 17:56 AND THERE'S ANOTHER COUPLE THAT I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH, LANGUAGES. 17:59 BUT WHATEVER YOU NEED THERE IS A WAY TO COMMUNICATE SCRIPTURE THAT 18:02 WAY. 18:03 YES. 18:04 WE MAKE SURE THAT THE BIBLES GO TO THOSE WHO CAN READ. 18:06 THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A BIBLE BUT ONLY THOSE WHO 18:09 CAN READ. 18:11 BUT TO HOLD, AND I'VE WATCHED PEOPLE WHO CANNOT READ A WORD IN IT BUT CAN 18:13 HOLD IT. 18:14 BUT OUR BIBLES ARE PROVIDED TO THOSE WHO ARE LITERATE. 18:17 AWESOME. 18:18 THAT'S THE CRITERIA. 18:20 BUT YOU PROVIDE MORE THAN JUST BIBLES. 18:23 OH YES. 18:24 BIBLES ARE CORE OBVIOUSLY TO THOSE WHO CAN READ BUT WHAT ELSE DO YOU GIVE 18:27 THEM? 18:29 WE THIS LAST TIME PROVIDED THEM A LITTLE POCKET CALENDAR WHICH HAS BEEN SO 18:34 ESSENTIAL FOR THEM TO KEEP TRACT OF WHEN THEY GET VISITED AND IN THEIR 18:36 CHURCHES PLUS ANOTHER NOTEBOOK THAT YOU KNOW THEY CAN RECORD THEIR 18:38 OFFERINGS AND WHAT NOT WHICH IS REALLY ESSENTIAL. 18:40 I GIVE THEM TRAINING IN TIME MANAGEMENT. 18:42 YOU KNOW THAT IF WE DON'T MANAGE OUR TIME AND IF WE DON'T MANAGE OUR MONEY 18:44 TIME WILL MANAGE US AND MONEY WILL MANAGE US. 18:46 AND I TEACH CLASSES ON THAT. 18:47 YOU NEED TO SAY THAT AGAIN BECAUSE EVERYONE LISTENING NEEDS TO HEAR YOU. 18:50 IF YOU DO NOT MANAGE YOUR TIME IT WILL MANAGE YOU AND IF YOU DON'T MANAGE 18:53 YOUR MONEY IT WILL MANAGE YOU. 19:08 SO THOSE ARE THE TWO THINGS, I MEAN THERE ARE MANY CLASSES THAT I TEACH 19:12 BUT THAT IS SOMETHING VERY PRACTICAL FOR THEM AND VERY CHALLENGING FOR THEM. 19:16 NOW YOU'RE TEACHING THE BIBLE WORKERS, THOSE WHO ARE OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH 19:18 WORKERS. 19:19 THAT'S CORRECT, THAT'S CORRECT. 19:20 I BET THEY ARE EXCITED. 19:22 OH YES AND I'M GOING TO SHARE SOMETIME WHILE WE'RE INTERVIEWING SOME OF THE 19:23 FUN THINGS WE DO WITH THEM, HANDS ON LEARNING FOR THEM. 19:25 LET'S COVER, I WANT TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE 19:41 CLOTHES. 19:42 WE HAVE MENTIONED HOW THESE SIX SUITCASES WERE CAUGHT UP IN CUSTOMS WITH 19:46 THE MEGA VOICES. 19:48 THEY GOT TO HYDERABAD AND I THOUGHT I HAD A PICTURE HERE OF THEM. 19:53 THIS IS A SCHOOL, WE ACTUALLY, SOME OF THE VIEWERS MAY HAVE SEEN OR 19:58 KNOW ABOUT THE JEYPORE SCHOOL. 19:59 THIS IS THE JEYPORE SCHOOL WHERE WE WENT FOR A WEEKEND AND SHARED. 20:08 I HAD A PICTURE THERE EARLIER I THINK OR NEXT ONE MAYBE. 20:11 THESE ARE THE CLOTHES. 20:12 THEIR KIND OF MIXED UP HERE BUT WE WENT TO THE JEYPORE SCHOOL AND THERE'S 20:18 A PICTURE OF ALL OF THEM. 20:20 THERE ARE OVER 850 STUDENTS THERE. 20:24 YOU'VE BEEN THERE. 20:25 OH YES, I'VE BEEN THERE. 20:26 WHAT A BLESSING TO GO THERE. 20:27 ANYWAY WE FOUND OUT HOW MANY BIBLES THEY NEEDED. 20:29 THERE WAS NEARLY A THOUSAND BIBLES SO THAT'S PART OF THE THREE THOUSAND 20:33 THAT WE DISTRIBUTED IN ENGLISH TO THESE SCHOOL MEMBERS. 20:36 BONNIE YOU TELL ABOUT THE CLOTHES IF YOU WOULD. 20:38 WELL THIS IS OUR FRIEND GINGER BROCKMAN. 20:41 AND SHE IS ONE SEWING LADY. 20:44 AND SHE LOVES, SHE HAS BARRELS OF FABRIC AND SHE MAKES ALL THESE CLOTHES. 20:49 AND SHE WOULD SHOW UP WITH ALL THESE BAGS AND BAGS. 20:53 AND I MEAN DICK, SHE PUTS THE SIZE ON THEM. 20:57 SHE TELLS YOU HOW MANY ARE IN THE BAG. 21:00 SHE DOES BOYS AND GIRLS CLOTHES AND SHE DOES BLANKETS. 21:04 AND SO, THAT WAS PART OF ALL THAT LUGGAGE THAT WE WERE TAKING. 21:08 AND THEY ARE REALLY SWEET. 21:10 SHE PUTS LITTLE BOWS ON THEM AND LITTLE LACE. 21:13 I MEAN IT'S VERY, VERY NICE AND THEY ARE CHEERFUL CLOTHES. 21:17 SO LAST TIME AT THE RALLY I ANNOUNCED AND SO I WAS ABLE TO BRING A LOT OF 21:23 CLOTHES. 21:24 BUT SHE MADE JUST THIS WEEKEND TO GO TO OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD. 21:28 SO I TOLD THEM TO LET ME KNOW AND SHE WILL SEW A WHOLE BUNCH MORE FOR US. 21:34 SHE LOVES SEWING AND IT'S HER MISSION. 21:36 SHE'S ALSO A MUSICIAN AND SHE IS TRULY, TRULY A BLESSING. 21:39 THESE ARE PICTURES OF US IN INDIA AT A SCHOOL DOWN IN THE SOUTH, KADAPA AREA 21:45 DISTRIBUTING AND THE CHILDREN COMING HOW THEY HOLD IT UP AND THEN THEY 21:49 GRAB IT AND HOLD IT TO THEM. 21:51 THEY'RE VERY THRILLED TO
