04:24 WHEN I TRAVEL IN MY TERRITORY I HAVE TO PASS BY HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS 04:30 OF VILLAGES BEFORE I COULD GO TO A PLACE WHERE WE HAVE CHRISTIAN PRESENCE. 04:38 AND SO I THINK TO MYSELF WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO REACH THESE HUNDREDS OF VILLAGES 04:45 BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS NOBODY HAS GONE THERE. 04:49 SO THERE IS A GREAT NEED. 04:53 THE HARVEST IS RIPE, YES IT IS, BUT THE LABORERS ARE FEW. 05:01 SO WE TRY TO DO THE VERY BEST WE CAN WITH WHO WE HAVE BUT THERE IS A VAST 05:04 NUMBER OF PEOPLE TO BE REACHED. 05:05 YES, AND THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO KEEP US UP AT NIGHT RIGHT? 05:09 YES AND THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE A HEART BEAT, WHEN CAN WE GO, WHEN CAN 05:16 WE MEET WITH THEM. 05:19 I MEAN ALL THE GROUPS ARE NOT VERY WELCOMING BUT THE LORD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS 05:29 WAYS. 05:30 YOU KNOW IN PLACES WHERE WE HAVE HAD THE GREATEST OBJECTIONS WE HAVE THE 05:34 BEST CONGREGATIONS THERE TOO. 05:36 SO WE NEVER KNOW WHEN GOD BREAKS THROUGH. 05:39 WE GOT TO GO. 05:40 THAT'S WHAT HE'S ASKED US TO DO. 05:42 OKAY SO THERE'S THE WORD "GO" AND IT'S JUST INTERESTING TO ME THAT THE 05:45 ACRONYM FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH THE ACRONYM IS "GO" G-O AND IN MATTHEW 28 05:47 JESUS SAYS, GOD TELLS US TO GO AND THEN HE DOES THE REST THROUGH THE HOLY 05:49 SPIRIT. 05:50 THAT'S NOT OUR JOB. 05:51 SO HOW MANY GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR AREA. 05:52 AT THE MOMENT I HAVE 138 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS IN MY REGION. 05:54 SO IN MY MIND I'M THINKING 138 AND I'M HEARING MILLIONS AND BILLIONS, 06:13 CLOSE TO 200 MILLION PEOPLE. 06:15 YES SO WE NEED TO BE WORKING THIS WAY RIGHT? 06:17 SO WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN YOUR AREA WITH THE 06:22 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS? 06:23 WHAT ARE SOME OF THEIR INITIATIVES, WHAT ARE SOME OF THEIR GOALS? 06:26 I'M KIND OF PRETTY NEW TO GOSPEL OUTREACH. 06:29 I'VE BEEN HERE ONLY FOR TWO YEARS AND SO I NEED TO GET ACQUAINTED WITH THE 06:32 FIELD BECAUSE THERE WAS NOBODY WHO WAS THE REGIONAL DIRECTOR FOR MANY 06:37 YEARS IN THIS REGION. 06:39 SO IN 2014 I WENT TO SEE THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS AND I DID TRAINING 06:46 FOR THEM. 06:47 GOOD. 06:48 IN 2015 I WENT TO SEE THE CONGREGATIONS THEY MINISTER TO. 06:53 THIS IS ONE OF THE CONGREGATIONS. 06:54 NOW THE HALL WAS PACKED WITH LADIES. 07:02 ALL THE MEN STOOD OUTSIDE. 07:04 WELL AREN'T THEY GENTLEMEN. 07:06 THEY COULDN'T GET INSIDE. 07:07 THE LADIES WERE ON TIME IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? 07:12 THEY WERE WATCHING THROUGH THE WINDOWS AND THE DOORS AND I WAS THRILLED WITH 07:18 THE KIND OF WORSHIP THEY HAVE. 07:20 WHY. 07:24 IT'S DEEP INSIDE. 07:25 YOU FEEL WORSHIPFUL WHEN YOU WORSHIP WITH THEM. 07:29 THEY ARE VERY SIMPLE PEOPLE BUT THEY POUR THEIR HEART OUT IN SINGING AND 07:36 THEY PRAISE GOD LIKE YOU'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE AND THEY HAVE THEIR 07:39 MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS AND YOU CANNOT BUT FEEL THE PRESENCE OF GOD MOVING IN 07:47 A PLACE LIKE THIS. 07:49 I KNOW EXACTLY, JUST AS YOU SAID THAT, WHEN I WAS A STUDENT MISSIONARY I WAS 07:52 IN BANGLADESH AND I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HEARING THE CONGREGATION SINGING 07:56 AND THEY HAD A KIND OF AN AIR PIANO THAT THEY PUMPED. 08:01 RIGHT, IT'S CALLED A HARMONIUM. 08:02 YES. 08:04 AND THEY PUMPED THAT AND JUST AS YOU SAID THAT IT CAME TO MY MIND I COULD 08:07 ALMOST HEAR IT. 08:09 AND THEY DON'T LET YOU GO ONCE YOU'VE FINISHED PREACHING. 08:11 OH NO. 08:12 YOU GOT TO PRAY FOR EVERYBODY. 08:14 THEY'LL COME ONE AFTER THE OTHER. 08:15 YOU'VE GOT TO PUT YOUR HANDS ON THEM AND PRAY FOR THEM, THE LADIES AND 08:19 OTHERS AND THEY BRING THEIR CHILDREN. 08:22 VERY DEVOUT PEOPLE, VERY DEVOUT PEOPLE. 08:24 BUT YOU KNOW WHAT PASTOR FRANKLIN THAT'S WHAT JESUS DID. 08:27 I MEAN JESUS PRAYED FOR PEOPLE AND THE TOUCH, JESUS TOUCHED PEOPLE AND 08:31 THAT'S WHAT HE HAS CALLED US TO DO. 08:33 GREAT. 08:34 SO TELL US MORE. 08:37 OTHER THAN THAT THE TRAINING AND THE VISITS WE ALSO, THESE ARE SOME OF 08:42 THE CHURCHES THAT I HAD VISITED. 08:44 BAPTISMAL CANDIDATES. 08:45 AND I GO TO THIS PLACE, THIS IS IN THE CITY OF BOMBAY. 08:50 AND THERE IS ONLY ONE CHURCH THAT HAS A BAPTISMAL TANK AND SO THEY 08:54 BROUGHT IN THE MEMBERS THERE TO BE BAPTIZED. 08:57 SOME OF THE BAPTISMAL CANDIDATES WERE THERE. 09:01 WHAT DO THEY THINK ABOUT THE WHOLE IDEA OF BAPTISM WHEN SOMEONE IS READY TO 09:08 BE BAPTIZED. 09:09 OF COURSE PROBABLY SOMEONE READS, THEY KNOW IN THE BIBLE THAT JESUS WAS 09:12 BAPTIZED BUT IS THAT SOMETHING SO DIFFERENT. 09:15 ARE MOST OF THE PEOPLE THERE HINDU IN THIS AREA? 09:18 MOST OF THEM ARE HINDUS. 09:20 SO IS THIS WHOLE IDEA OF BEING BAPTIZED IN A TANK AND ALL OF THAT IS THAT 09:24 KIND OF A VERY DIFFERENT CONCEPT FOR THEM? 09:28 IT'S SOMETHING MANY OF THEM HAVE NEVER SEEN, NEVER HEARD. 09:35 THE HINDU RELIGION AS SUCH IS A RELIGION OF WORKS OKAY? 09:39 YES. 09:41 AND SO WHEN OUR BIBLE WORKERS STUDY WITH THEM THE GOSPEL MESSAGE OF HOW 09:46 JESUS CAME AND DIED FOR THEIR SINS THAT'S SOMETHING THEY HAVE NEVER 09:51 THOUGHT ABOUT OKAY. 09:53 AND SO THEN AFTER THAT THE STUDY BEGINS. 09:56 AND ONCE THEY GO THROUGH THE PROCESS THEN SOME MAKE THEIR DECISION WITHIN 10:00 THREE MONTHS SOME TAKE LONGER. 10:03 WELL AND TOO WHEN YOU HAVE A RELIGION WHETHER IT'S ANY RELIGION, ANY 10:09 DENOMINATION, ANY CULTURE I MEAN THAT'S ENGRAINED IN US AND THAT'S WHO WE ARE. 10:13 OKAY SO TAKE US BACK. 10:17 NOW IN 2014 WHEN I WENT TO INDIA TO DO THE TRAINING THERE WAS ONE OF THE 10:24 GOSPEL WORKERS WHO TOLD ME THAT I'M STUDYING WITH A BUDDHIST FAMILY. 10:27 THEN THIS 2015 WHEN I WENT THERE SHE HAD A LADY, A BUDDHIST READY FOR 10:36 BAPTISM. 10:38 PRAISE THE LORD. 10:39 THIS IS ANOTHER VILLAGE CHURCH THAT I HAVE OVER THERE AND GOING DOWN TO 10:44 ALL THE WORSHIP SERVICES THAT WE HAVE. 10:47 MOST OF THEM SIT ON THE FLOOR. 10:48 THAT'S A CHURCH THAT IS IN THE CITY OF BOMBAY. 10:53 AND IN THAT CHURCH, BOMBAY IS THE FINANCIAL CAPITAL OF INDIA, BILLIONAIRES 10:55 LIVE THERE. 10:57 BUT MOST OF OUR WORK IS DONE AMONG THE POOREST OF THE POOR. 10:58 IN THAT CHURCH IN BOMBAY WHEN I WENT IT IS JUST A NARROW HALL. 11:15 AND ONLY FOUR PEOPLE CAN STAND IN THE ROOM THERE. 11:18 ONLY FOUR? 11:19 FOUR. 11:20 THE WIDTH OF IT, FOUR PEOPLE. 11:22 ONLY FOUR PEOPLE. 11:24 AND THAT'S CALLED SHOULDER TO SHOULDER LIKE ZEPHANIAH TALKED ABOUT. 11:27 YES SHOULDER TO SHOULDER. 11:28 THAT'S IT. 11:29 BUT IT MUST HAVE BEEN VERY EXPENSIVE FOR THEM TO PURCHASE THAT BECAUSE IT'S 11:33 IN THE CITY OF BOMBAY. 11:35 WOW. 11:36 MOST PEOPLE LIVE IN JUST SMALL, SMALL SHEDS. 11:39 ANOTHER PLACE WHERE I WENT, OF COURSE IT'S ALL HOME CHURCHES OVER THERE 11:43 IN SEVERAL PLACES BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE BUILDINGS. 11:47 BIG GATHERING BUT IT WAS JUST SOME STICKS THAT WERE ERECTED AND THEN SOME 11:51 SARIS PUT ALL AROUND AND ON TOP SO THAT PEOPLE COULD COME AND SIT INSIDE 11:55 AND WORSHIP RIGHT IN FRONT OF ANOTHER HOUSE. 11:58 THAT'S HOW IT WAS. 11:59 AND SO WHEN I WENT TO BOMBAY AND I WAS MEETING WITH THE PEOPLE THERE, 12:04 THEY ASKED ME TO BAPTIZE THESE 11 CANDIDATES THAT THEY HAD BROUGHT IN FOR 12:13 BAPTISM. 12:14 I MEAN I DIDN'T GO PREPARED TO BE BAPTIZING PEOPLE. 12:17 BUT SINCE I'M FROM INDIA IT WAS NOT MUCH OF A DIFFICULTY AND SO I JUST, 12:22 WITH THE SAME CLOTHES THAT I HAD ON I JUST WENT ON AND BAPTIZED. 12:25 RIGHT INTO THE TANK YOU WENT. 12:27 THE BUDDHIST GIRL THAT I BAPTIZED. 12:29 NOW YOU MENTION A BUDDHIST WOMAN. 12:30 SO AGAIN WE THINK MOST, I THINK MOSTLY OF HINDUS IN INDIA BUT ARE THERE LOTS 12:37 OF BUDDHISTS? 12:38 BUDDHISM ORIGINATED IN INDIA AND MOVED TO THE OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD. 12:44 THERE ARE QUITE A FEW BUDDHISTS OVER THERE BUT HINDUISM IS THE MAJOR 12:49 RELIGION. 12:50 BUT I KIND OF THINK OF, AND JUST HELP ME WITH MY GEOGRAPHY, BUT I THINK OF 12:52 BUDDHISM MOSTLY IN THE NORTHERN PART OF INDIA NOT DOWN IN WHERE WE'RE 12:56 TALKING ABOUT. 12:57 AM I MISTAKEN? 12:58 THAT'S TRUE. 12:59 IT STARTED THERE BUT THEN IT REACHED EVERYWHERE OK. 13:01 IT REACHED ALL THE WAY TO THE SOUTH. 13:03 IN FACT I LIVED IN THE CITY OF BANGALORE. 13:05 RIGHT NEXT TO MY HOUSE WAS THE BUDDHIST TEMPLE. 13:08 OK. 13:09 SO IT WENT EVERYWHERE. 13:11 NOW THIS FASCINATED ME BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER BAPTIZED A BUDDHIST. 13:18 I'VE BAPTIZED A MUSLIM, I'VE BAPTIZED HINDUS, I'VE BAPTIZED SIKHS, I'VE 13:21 BAPTIZED OTHERS BUT NOT A BUDDHIST. 13:22 SO THIS WAS THE FIRST BUDDHIST THAT I BAPTIZED. 13:27 AND THEN RIGHT AFTER THE BAPTISM WHEN WE MET TOGETHER, THE WHOLE FAMILY 13:31 HAD COME FOR THE BAPTISM. 13:33 OH THEY DID? 13:34 AND THEY SAID THEY ALL WANT TO BECOME PART OF GOD'S KINGDOM. 13:38 REALLY. 13:38 DID YOU FIND OUT WHY? 13:39 DID THEY SHARE THAT? 13:40 BECAUSE THEY HAD BEEN STUDYING WITH THE BIBLE WORKER. 13:44 OK. 13:45 BUT ONLY ONE MADE THE DECISION TO STEP OUT IN FAITH FIRST. 13:47 OK. 13:49 NOW HAVING WATCHED THE SERVICE HERE, HAVING FOUND OUT THE MEANING OF WHAT 13:52 BAPTISM IS THE WHOLE LIFE IS BURIED AND THEY COME TO A NEW LIFE IN JESUS 13:56 CHRIST. 13:58 SO I'M HOPING THAT WHEN I GO THERE THIS YEAR I WILL BAPTIZE THAT WHOLE FAMILY. 14:04 AND YOU KNOW WHAT, I WANT TO SAY THAT TO ME THAT SPEAKS SO MUCH OF THE 14:08 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS AND THE LORD'S LEADING BECAUSE AS I KNOW FROM 14:14 BEING A STUDENT MISSIONARY IN A COUNTRY THAT IS HEAVILY BUDDHIST, THIS 14:19 PROCESS YOU KNOW AS WESTERNERS LIVING, I MEAN WHERE CHRISTIANITY AND ALL 14:24 OF THAT, AND SOMETIMES I THINK WE'RE A LITTLE JUDGMENTAL ABOUT WELL WHY 14:29 DON'T THEY ACCEPT IT. 14:31 IT'S RIGHT HERE. 14:32 BUT IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO CHANGE THESE VIEW POINTS FOR MANY PEOPLE. 14:37 IT'S BEEN IN THEIR FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS YOU KNOW AND SOME OF THEM DON'T 14:45 WANT TO EVEN THOUGH THEY BELIEVE BECAUSE IT WOULD HURT THEIR MOTHER AND 14:49 FATHER. 14:50 AND THEY DON'T WANT TO OFFEND ANYBODY. 14:52 THEY DON'T WANT TO OFFEND ANYBODY, THEY DON'T WANT TO BE THROWN AWAY FROM THE 14:55 FAMILY TOO. 14:55 RIGHT. 14:57 NO AND THAT'S TRUE AND THOSE ARE HUGE DECISIONS THAT PEOPLE NEED TO MAKE. 15:00 WELL WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A BREAK HERE AND WE'RE GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU ABOUT 15:03 MEGAVOICE. 15:04 THESE ARE SOLAR POWERED LITTLE UNITS. 15:07 THEY'RE FANTASTIC. 15:09 THEY CAN HOLD HOURS AND HOURS OF BIBLE STORIES AND AUDIO BIBLES AND WE'RE 15:13 GOING TO TELL YOU MORE INFORMATION ABOUT MEGAVOICE. 15:17 I'M JULIE SANDERS KEYMER AND I'M IN EXHIBIT HALL "A" HERE AT GENERAL 15:19 CONFERENCE IN SAN ANTONIO. 15:20 I AM HERE WITH DARYL. 15:22 HELLO DARYL. 15:23 HELLO, GOOD TO BE WITH YOU. 15:24 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CHATTING WITH US. 15:26 SO DARYL TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE MEGAVOICE PLAYER. 15:30 WHAT IS IT, WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE. 15:31 THIS IS OUR MAIN PLAYER. 15:33 IT'S THE ENVOY S DUAL. 15:35 THIS IS THE ONE THAT GOSPEL OUTREACH IS USING A LOT. 15:37 THEY ARE SOLAR POWERED. 15:38 THEY ARE SHOCK RESISTANT, HEAT RESISTANT TO 150 DEGREES AND WATER 15:44 RESISTANT. 15:45 WOW. 15:46 THEY ARE VIRTUALLY INDESTRUCTIBLE. 15:47 YOU HAVE YOU KNOW THE POWER BUTTON YOU PUSH AND HOLD. 15:50 AND THIS ONE IS BILINGUAL SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY TOGGLE BETWEEN TWO LANGUAGES. 15:54 OH THANK YOU. 15:56 SO THAT'S GOOD ESPECIALLY IN PLACES WHERE YOU HAVE A TRADE LANGUAGE AND THEN 16:02 THE HEART LANGUAGE, YOU CAN JUMP BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE TWO LANGUAGES 16:05 AND THEN YOU HAVE BOTH CHAPTER VERSE FORWARD, BOTH CHAPTER VERSE 16:09 BACKWARD AND THE PAUSE BUTTON IS YOUR BOOK MARK. 16:12 SO IT'S REALLY MADE FOR THE 10/40 WINDOW FOR MISSION OUTREACH. 16:17 AND GOSPEL OUTREACH'S GARY FULLER RECORDS THESE AND THEN THEY GO WITH THE 16:22 REGIONAL DIRECTORS INTO THE 10/40 WINDOW AND THEY COME WITH EARBUDS AND THEN 16:24 WITH ALSO A SPEAKER RIGHT?
