23:14 ARE THEY-WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO HELP THE PEOPLE'S NEEDS AND TO SHARE JESUS. 23:17 O.K. 23:19 THEY UM, BEGIN BY MAKING FRIENDS WITH THE PEOPLE BECAUSE YOU CAN'T WIN 23:24 PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS. 23:26 AND SO THEY BEGIN BY FRIENDSHIP EVANGELISM. 23:28 GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH THE PEOPLE; HELPING THEM DOING THEIR WORK; GETTING 23:33 ACQUAINTED WITH THEM; DISCUSSING THINGS WITH THEM; AND FROM THERE THEY 23:38 INVITE THEM INTO BIBLE STUDIES, YOU KNOW, IF THEY SOUND LIKE THEY ARE READY, 23:43 SURE, INVITE THEM IN FOR BIBLE STUDIES AND OVER TIME THEY BEGIN ATTENDING 23:48 THE CHURCH SERVICES AND LITTLE BY LITTLE THEY TAKE THEIR STAND FOR THE LORD. 23:54 WELL, AND YOU KNOW IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE WHEN YOU WERE SAYING ABOUT HOW 23:56 WHEN I ASKED ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE DO FOR WORK AND PROBABLY THE STORIES WITH 24:01 DEALING WITH THE SEAMEN AND FISHERMEN AND ALL OF THAT AND AGRICULTURE AND 24:05 THERE ARE SO MANY PARABLES AND STORIES THAT JESUS HAS SHARED WITH US AND WITH 24:09 HIM HANGING OUT WITH FISHERMEN UM, I'M SURE THAT THOSE ARE SOME THINGS 24:13 THAT THEY CAN PROBABLY YOU KNOW, THEY DO, SHARE. 24:16 AND AFTER THEY HAVE SOME BIBLE STUDIES THEN THEY WILL CONDUCT AN 24:19 EVANGELISTIC SERIES. 24:20 AND THEY VERY FREQUENLTY HAVE BAPTISMS OF 10, 15, 20. 24:29 IT'S A GOOD PROGRAM AND THESE PEOPLE TEND TO STAY IN THE CHURCH. 24:32 THAT'S WONDERFUL. 24:34 SO AS YOU COME BACK I KNOW EVERY TRIP THAT I GO ON NO MATTER WHERE IT IS, BUT 24:37 ESPECIALLY INTERNATIONAL TRIPS WHAT HAS BEEN KIND OF YOUR TAKE HOME AS YOU 24:42 HAVE COME HOME AND COMING HOME SOMETIMES IT'S HARDER BECAUSE IT'S ALMOST LIKE I 24:46 HAVE CULTURE SHOCK WITH MY OWN CULTURE MORE BUT WHAT WAS SOMETHING FOR YOU 24:50 FRED, THAT AS YOU CAME HOME THIS LAST TRIP THAT WAS IMPORTANT TO YOU?

25:16 WELL, I THINK PROBABLY THE MAIN THING THEY COULD DO FOR US IS TO PRAY. 25:20 TO PRAY THAT OUR WORKERS WILL BE SUCCESSFUL; THAT THEY WILL ALLOW THE HOLY 25:23 SPIRIT TO USE THEM AND TO DIRECT THEIR LIVES AND OF COURSE, WE NEED MORE -I 25:30 HAVE MANY CALLS FOR NEW WORKERS - MANY BUT I HAD TO TELL THEM I DON'T THINK 25:35 THAT IS VERY LIKELY BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE SUFFICIENT FUNDS RIGHT 25:38 NOW. 25:40 SO GIVE US AN IDEA WHAT DOES A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER -WHAT ARE THEY 25:43 PAID? 25:44 ROUGHLY. 25:45 IN THE PHILIPPINES THEY GET ABOUT $300 A MONTH BUT AN AVERAGE FOR THE GOSPEL 25:49 OUTREACH IS I THINK IS MORE IN THE RANGE OF $50 BECAUSE THE PHILIPPINES IS 25:53 PROBABLY ONE OF THE HIGHEST NATIONAL OF THE PLACES WHERE WE WORK. 25:59 BUT IT IS RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE BY OUR TERMS. 26:03 WOW ABSOLUTELY. 26:04 WELL FRED, I THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING WITH US ABOUT 26:08 SOME OF THE ISLANDS OF THE 7107 IN THE PHILIPPINES AND PLEASE DO AS YOU 26:14 COMMUNICATE WITH THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS ENCOURAGE THEM AND THANK 26:17 YOU FOR ALL THE REPORTS THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN BACK TO US SO THANK YOU. 26:20 THANK YOU. 26:21 AND YOU'VE HEARD IT HERE. 26:23 YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DO TO GET INVOLVED. 26:25 YOU CAN PRAY. 26:27 YOU CAN ALSO GIVE SUPPORT $300 A MONTH AND THAT'S SOMEONE WORKING FULL TIME 26:31 TO SHARE JESUS IN THEIR VILLAGE AND IF THE LORD IS CALLING UPON YOU TO GIVE I 26:35 WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO TO OUR WEBSITE: GOAIM.ORG AND YOU CAN LEARN MORE 26:39 ABOUT HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED AND AS WE HAVE MENTIONED PLEASE PRAY FOR 26:43 THE PEOPLE. 26:45 FRED TALKED ABOUT THE SEVEN AND THE EIGHTH GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER WHO 26:48 DOES LIVE IN A MORE STRICT AREA AND DO PRAY FOR ALL OF THOSE. 26:52 SO WE THANK YOU FOR WATCHING. 26:54 ON BEHALF OF "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS" FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH I'M JULIE 26:56 SANDERS-KEYMER AND MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU TODAY. 28:06 [CLOSING MUSIC]. |
