[OPENING MUSIC]
00:00:00.53\00:00:15.54

ADVENTURES, THESE
INTERVIEWS WITH AMAZING STORIES.

AND THIS IS NO EXCEPTION.
00:00:28.12\00:00:30.03
I AM TODAY WITH GAIL CORIDAN.
00:00:30.06\00:00:34.10
HI.
00:00:34.10\00:00:34.83
I THINK THAT'S
A GOOD IRISH NAME?
00:00:34.83\00:00:37.73
OH YES.
00:00:37.77\00:00:38.70
IT USED TO BE THE O
CORRADAIN, SO YES IT IS.
00:00:38.73\00:00:40.74
OKAY.
00:00:40.77\00:00:42.14
GAIL IS WITH US TODAY
BECAUSE SHE HAS RECENTLY HAD AN
00:00:42.17\00:00:48.24
ADVENTURE IN MISSIONS
BUT IT'S NOT HER FIRST.
00:00:48.28\00:00:51.15
IT'S NOT HER FIRST.
00:00:51.18\00:00:51.88
WE'RE GOING TO COME TO THAT.
00:00:51.91\00:00:53.11
I WANT TO TURN TO GAIL.
00:00:53.15\00:00:54.55
YOU'RE HOME IS WHERE?
00:00:54.58\00:00:56.38
WE LIVE IN
IOWA, WINTERSET, IOWA.
00:00:56.42\00:00:58.59
WINTERSET, IOWA AND I UNDERSTAND
YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND WORK
00:00:58.62\00:01:03.99
TOGETHER FOR A
CONFERENCE OF CHURCHES THERE.
00:01:04.03\00:01:05.93
IS THAT TRUE?
00:01:05.96\00:01:07.20
YES, IT'S THE BEAUTIFUL
CONFERENCE OF IOWA AND MISSOURI.
00:01:07.23\00:01:08.96
THE TWO STATES.
00:01:09.00\00:01:09.63
IOWA AND MISSOURI.
00:01:09.66\00:01:10.43
YES.
00:01:10.47\00:01:11.83
I THINK I HAD THE PRIVILEGE
OF MEETING YOUR HUSBAND ABOUT A
00:01:11.87\00:01:14.20
YEAR AGO. BUT NOW IT'S YOUR
TURN TO COME AND TO TELL THESE
00:01:14.24\00:01:18.51
ADVENTURES. BUT FIRST I JUST
WANT YOU TO REMIND EVERYBODY HOW
YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND
00:01:18.54\00:01:25.31
BECAME INTERESTED IN THE REFUGEE
PROBLEM THAT IS THE BIGGEST I
00:01:25.35\00:01:31.02
BELIEVE THE WORLD HAS
SEEN SINCE WORLD WAR II.
00:01:31.05\00:01:33.62
YES.
00:01:33.66\00:01:34.62
WE'RE ACTUALLY KIND
OF NEW TO THIS INTEREST.
00:01:34.66\00:01:39.03
TERRI SAELIEE, OUR NORTH
AMERICAN DIVISION REFUGEE
COORDINATOR CAME TO OUR
00:01:39.06\00:01:45.77
WOMEN'S RETREAT.
00:01:45.80\00:01:46.57
I'M WOMEN'S MINISTRIES DIRECTOR.
00:01:46.60\00:01:48.14
SHE CAME TO OUR RETREAT IN 2010
AND SHARED ABOUT THE REFUGEES IN
00:01:48.17\00:01:54.78
OUR COUNTRY AND HOW WE HAVE
RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO US ACCESS TO
THE WHOLE WORLD YOU KNOW.
00:01:54.81\00:01:59.51
OUR EARS WERE PICKING UP VERY
MUCH BECAUSE WE'D BEEN DOING
00:01:59.55\00:02:06.02
MISSION TRIPS WITH THE YOUNG
PEOPLE FROM OUR ACADEMY FOR
SEVERAL YEARS AT THAT POINT.
00:02:06.05\00:02:09.62
WHERE WERE THOSE
MISSION TRIPS TAKING THE KIDS?
00:02:11.99\00:02:14.03
THANK YOU.
00:02:14.10\00:02:16.36
MAJORLY INDIA AT FIRST AND THEN
AFRICA OPENED UP AND THEN NEPAL
00:02:16.40\00:02:23.00
OPPORTUNITIES. OKAY.
00:02:23.04\00:02:23.87
SO THESE ARE
BOARDING SCHOOL STUDENTS.
00:02:23.91\00:02:27.18
BOARDING SCHOOL STUDENTS.
00:02:27.21\00:02:28.01
AND THEY GET TO
GO ON MISSION TRIPS.
00:02:28.04\00:02:29.68
AND I UNDERSTAND THERE'S A
MOTIVATION FOR GOING ON THESE
00:02:29.71\00:02:35.02
TRIPS. WELL,
THERE'S LOTS OF MOTIVATION.
00:02:35.05\00:02:36.58
ONE YOU MIGHT BE REFERRING TO
IS THE CHILDREN CAN GET FIFTEEN
00:02:36.62\00:02:41.09
HUNDRED DOLLAR SCHOLARSHIPS
TOWARDS THEIR TUITION AND
EXPENSES AT THE ACADEMY.
00:02:41.12\00:02:46.33
THAT'S PART OF IT BUT I TELL YOU
FROM THE GIT-GO THESE KIDS HAVE
00:02:46.36\00:02:51.83
HAD A HEART TO WANT TO GO HELP
AND WANT TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL.
00:02:51.87\00:02:56.34
IT'S AMAZING.
00:02:56.37\00:02:57.64
YOU KNOW I'VE SEEN THE, I JUST
REMEMBER THE VERY FIRST TRIP.
00:02:57.67\00:03:02.41
I REMEMBER A BOY AT THE AIRPORT
TELLING HIS MOM, MOM I DON'T
00:03:02.44\00:03:05.88
KNOW IF I'M GOING TO COME BACK
BUT I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT
I HAVE TO DO THIS AND I
00:03:05.91\00:03:12.25
BELIEVE JESUS WILL BE WITH ME.
00:03:12.29\00:03:14.09
SO HE WAS FEELING ALMOST THAT
HE WAS PUTTING HIS LIFE ON THE
00:03:14.12\00:03:17.33
LINE. VERY MUCH SO.
00:03:17.36\00:03:18.06
AND SHE WAS BAWLING.
00:03:18.09\00:03:19.19
MOTHERS CAN DO THAT.
00:03:19.23\00:03:22.76
SO YOU KNOW, YES THERE'S A
SCHOLARSHIP AND CERTAINLY THE
PARENTS UNDERSTAND THE
00:03:22.80\00:03:28.74
IMPACT OF THAT.
00:03:28.77\00:03:30.27
THE KIDS ARE
CHOOSING TO BE GOSPEL WORKERS.
00:03:30.31\00:03:33.31
THAT'S WONDERFUL.
00:03:33.34\00:03:34.84
AND I REALLY BELIEVE, THE
COSTS TO GO ON SUCH A TRIP ABOUT
00:03:34.88\00:03:37.58
FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS?
00:03:37.61\00:03:38.45
NO IT COSTS ABOUT
TWENTY-FIVE HUNDRED.
00:03:38.48\00:03:40.35
WELL TWO THOUSAND,
TWENTY-FIVE HUNDRED, DEPENDING.
00:03:40.38\00:03:42.92
AFRICA IS A LITTLE
MORE EXPENSIVE TO GET THERE.
00:03:42.95\00:03:45.95
THEY DO RAISE THEIR OWN FUNDS TO
GO AND MOST OF THAT IS THROUGH
00:03:45.99\00:03:51.13
LETTERS TO PEOPLE THAT
CARE ABOUT SUCH THINGS.
00:03:51.16\00:03:53.40
SO IT'S AMAZING
HOW GOD HAS BLESSED.
00:03:53.43\00:03:57.97
SO THEY SPONSOR THE KID, THE KID
GETS TO EXPERIENCE MISSION WORK
00:03:58.00\00:04:02.94
IN A SENSE FOR A SHORT TIME.
00:04:02.97\00:04:04.64
DEFINITELY.
00:04:04.67\00:04:06.07
AND THEN THEY COME BACK AND
GET TO INVEST THE SCHOLARSHIP IN
00:04:06.11\00:04:10.05
THEIR CONTINUING EDUCATION.
00:04:10.08\00:04:11.35
DO SOME OF THEM GO BACK ANOTHER
YEAR AFTER THE FIRST TIME?
00:04:11.38\00:04:14.95
YES.
00:04:14.98\00:04:15.95
OR FOR MOST IT'S ONCE
DURING THEIR FOUR YEARS?
00:04:15.98\00:04:17.89
NO, NO.
00:04:17.92\00:04:19.42
WE PUT THE NAMES OF THE
COUNTRIES WHERE THEY GO ON THEIR
00:04:19.45\00:04:24.16
SASH AT GRADUATION SO SOME HAVE
FOUR NAMES YOU KNOW FOR EACH
YEAR THAT THEY'VE GONE.
00:04:24.19\00:04:28.66
THERE'S NO LIMIT ON THAT.
00:04:28.70\00:04:31.67
USUALLY FRESHMAN THE PARENTS
AREN'T AS INCLINED TO SAY YOU
00:04:31.70\00:04:36.37
KNOW, GO AHEAD AND GO.
00:04:36.40\00:04:37.04
WHAT ABOUT YOU.
00:04:37.07\00:04:37.91
WERE YOU EVER A
PARENT OF SUCH A CHILD?
00:04:37.94\00:04:40.51
INDEED, INDEED.
00:04:40.54\00:04:42.08
AND I GUESS MY DAUGHTER AND
I, SHE WAS ACTUALLY ON THE FIRST
00:04:42.11\00:04:48.15
TRIP FROM THE ACADEMY BUT WE HAD
GONE TOGETHER TO INDIA IN 2002.
00:04:48.18\00:04:52.55
IT WAS OUR FIRST SHORT-TERM,
WELL, WE'D HAD A TRIP TO MEXICO.
00:04:52.59\00:04:58.56
OUR OLDER DAUGHTER HAD GONE
INTO MEXICO, TWO OF OUR OLDER
00:04:58.59\00:05:02.96
DAUGHTERS, BUT YOU KNOW THIS WAS
OUR FIRST TIME ACROSS THE SEA,
MY DAUGHTER AND I, AND WE
00:05:03.00\00:05:08.84
BOTH WERE COMPLETELY SMITTEN.
00:05:08.87\00:05:11.11
HABAKKUK 2:14 JUST SETTLED IN
OUR HEARTS AND WE JUST WANTED TO
00:05:11.14\00:05:16.18
LIGHT THE WORLD
WITH GOD'S GLORY.
00:05:18.28\00:05:19.78
SHE SAID SHE STOOD HOLDING A
BABY IN A RICE FIELD LOOKING UP
00:05:19.81\00:05:25.55
AT THE STARS AND SAYING
GOD I WILL COME BACK, I WILL.
00:05:25.59\00:05:27.49
AND SHE WAS 12 AT THE TIME.
00:05:27.52\00:05:28.66
OH.
00:05:28.69\00:05:29.66
SO SHE WENT BACK
THEN AS A SENIOR TO INDIA.
00:05:29.69\00:05:31.09
LATER IN COLLEGE SHE WAS A
STUDENT MISSIONARY AND SPENT A
00:05:31.13\00:05:36.13
YEAR IN NEPAL. THAT JUST
COMPLETELY ENRAPTURED HER HEART
AND THAT'S WHERE SHE WANTS TO
00:05:39.63\00:05:44.41
GO BACK NOW THAT SHE IS A NURSE.
00:05:44.44\00:05:46.41
SHE WANTS TO GET BACK THERE.
00:05:46.44\00:05:47.91
THAT VERSE IN HABAKKUK I LOOKED
IT UP-FOR AS THE WATERS FILL THE
00:05:47.94\00:05:53.58
SEA THE EARTH WILL BE FILLED
WITH AN AWARENESS OF THE GLORY
00:05:53.62\00:05:58.65
OF THE LORD. THAT'S
THIS PARTICULAR TRANSLATION.
00:05:58.69\00:06:00.82
THAT SENSE THAT YOU CAN BECOME
PART OF THE GLORY OF THE LORD
00:06:00.86\00:06:04.19
FILLING THE EARTH,
THAT'S WHAT SHE WANTS.
00:06:04.23\00:06:06.09
YES.
00:06:06.13\00:06:06.76
AND FOR ME TOO.
00:06:06.80\00:06:08.13
WE WERE CROSSING THE PACIFIC
IN THE PLANE YOU KNOW AND I READ
00:06:08.16\00:06:11.43
THAT. AS THE WATERS COVER THE
SEA-YOU KNOW FOR GOD'S GLORY TO
00:06:11.47\00:06:16.54
LIGHTEN THE WORLD.
00:06:16.57\00:06:17.71
WELL I JUST WANTED TO BE
PART OF THAT AND SHE DID TOO.
00:06:17.74\00:06:19.97
SO IT'S AFFECTED YOUR
FAMILY WITH YOUR CHILDREN, IT'S
00:06:20.01\00:06:25.85
AFFECTED YOUR INTERFACE WITH THE
ACADEMY OVER ALL THESE YEARS AND
EVENTUALLY THIS TERRI WHO
00:06:25.88\00:06:31.99
CAME TO DO A WOMEN'S CONFERENCE,
THIS BECAME A SPARK THAT LED TO
00:06:32.02\00:06:37.86
MINISTRY TO
REFUGEES IN MID AMERICA.
00:06:37.89\00:06:40.60
ABSOLUTELY.
00:06:40.63\00:06:42.03
YOU KNOW WE'VE BEEN IN PASTORAL
MINISTRY SINCE 1986 AND I LIKE
00:06:42.06\00:06:47.94
TO THINK THAT WE'VE PAID
ATTENTION TO EVERYBODY AROUND
00:06:47.97\00:06:51.01
US. THAT'S THE GOAL.
00:06:51.04\00:06:52.34
BUT I'M ASHAMED TO SAY REFUGEES
HAD NOT CAUGHT OUR ATTENTION.
00:06:52.37\00:06:57.21
BUT OF COURSE IT HAS INCREASED
IN AWARENESS IN LOTS OF WAYS.
00:06:57.25\00:07:02.35
IN RECENT YEARS INCREASED
IN INTENSITY OF COURSE.
00:07:02.38\00:07:05.05
BUT TERRI REALLY OPENED OUR EYES
AND SO WE STARTED, YOU KNOW MY
00:07:05.09\00:07:11.63
HUSBAND IMMEDIATELY TOLD HIS
SECRETARY TO GET THE MAP OUT AND
00:07:11.66\00:07:16.70
CALL AND RESEARCH HOW MANY
REFUGEES IN EACH COUNTY IN OUR
CONFERENCE AND IT STARTED
00:07:16.73\00:07:23.61
BEING A MAJOR TOPIC AT WORKER'S
MEETINGS YOU KNOW FOR LETTING
00:07:23.64\00:07:28.28
THE GUYS KNOW. HE WAS
GOING TO EMPHASIZE THIS NOW.
00:07:28.31\00:07:29.94
YES, YES.
00:07:29.98\00:07:31.31
WE HAVE GOT TO PAY ATTENTION
TO WHOSE IN OUR SPHERE OF
00:07:31.35\00:07:35.85
INFLUENCE. AND SO FOR INSTANCE
LAST SUMMER WE WERE ABLE TO
PLANT, NOT WE BUT WORKERS
00:07:35.88\00:07:41.42
IN THE ST. LOUIS AREA, PLANTED
A NEPALI SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
00:07:41.46\00:07:45.79
CHURCH.
00:07:45.83\00:07:47.30
SO FROM INTEREST IN NEPAL THAT
HAS BEEN CULTIVATED YOU KNOW, A
00:07:47.30\00:07:51.80
WORKER FROM THERE
THROUGH MONTEMORELOS.
00:07:51.83\00:07:53.90
HE CAME FROM NEPAL TO
MONTEMORELOS TO SPEND THE SUMMER
00:07:55.47\00:07:59.61
WITH US. WORKERS CAME OVER FROM
NORTH CAROLINA TO JOIN IN THE
00:07:59.64\00:08:02.64
EFFORT. INTERESTING.
00:08:02.68\00:08:04.18
AND THEY WORKED ST. LOUIS
AND THERE ARE SEVERAL THOUSAND
00:08:04.21\00:08:08.38
NEPALI, BHUTANESE
NEPALI IN ST. LOUIS.
00:08:08.42\00:08:09.85
YES.
00:08:09.88\00:08:10.82
AND SO A CHURCH WAS RAISED UP.
00:08:10.85\00:08:13.29
FROM THERE WE MET A CONTACT IN
KANSAS CITY PLUS WE ALREADY HAD
00:08:13.32\00:08:18.39
GREAT BHUTANESE NEPALI FRIENDS
IN KANSAS CITY BUT NOW M HUSBAND
00:08:20.36\00:08:24.87
IS IN BIBLE STUDIES WITH A
MAN THERE THAT IS OVER THE WHOLE
00:08:24.90\00:08:29.94
NEPALI COMMUNITY. OH MY.
00:08:32.47\00:08:33.34
HE'S THE PRESIDENT
OF THEIR COMMUNITY.
00:08:33.38\00:08:35.24
JUST FOR OUR LISTENERS, IF YOU
DON'T RECOGNIZE THE WORD
BHUTANESE, IT'S NOT
00:08:35.28\00:08:40.35
RELATED TO BOUTONNIERE YOU KNOW.
00:08:42.65\00:08:44.05
AND YOU MAY HAVE BUMPED INTO
THE NAME OF THAT LITTLE POCKET
00:08:44.09\00:08:48.66
NATION CALLED BHUTAN.
00:08:48.69\00:08:52.16
AND THESE REFUGEES, AS HER
HUSBAND DEAN WAS EXPLAINING TO
00:08:52.19\00:08:57.27
ME, THESE WERE ETHNIC NEPALESE
WHO HAVE BEEN FORCED OUT OF THE
00:08:57.30\00:09:03.94
KINGDOM OF BHUTAN ALMOST
AS A KIND OF ETHNIC CLEANSING.
00:09:03.97\00:09:06.01
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:09:06.04\00:09:07.48
THEY WANTED TO MAKE IT
MORE PURE, MORE BUDDHIST BECAUSE
00:09:07.51\00:09:10.71
THEIR HISTORY WAS
MORE HINDU I THINK.
00:09:10.75\00:09:11.68
YES.
00:09:11.71\00:09:12.65
AND SO THEY WERE
PEOPLE WITHOUT A COUNTRY.
00:09:12.68\00:09:15.38
AND THEY BECAME REFUGEES AND
SOME OF THEM SETTLED THERE IN
00:09:15.42\00:09:21.06
YOUR CONFERENCE.
YOU'VE GOT A GREAT MEMORY.
00:09:21.09\00:09:22.02
GOING BACK NOW.
00:09:22.06\00:09:23.56
HERE YOU HAVE THIS MINISTRY.
00:09:23.59\00:09:28.13
I THINK WORD JUST REACHED
AMERICA THAT SOME OF THESE FIRST
00:09:28.16\00:09:33.23
REFUGEES FROM THE SYRIAN
CONFLICT HAD COME INTO THE
UNITED STATES AND HAVE BEEN
00:09:39.14\00:09:43.68
VETTED, HAD THEIR BACKGROUNDS
CHECKED AND THEY WERE COMING IN
00:09:43.71\00:09:47.62
TO BE RESETTLED. HAS THAT
AFFECTED YOU AT ALL OR JUST AN
AWARENESS OF WHERE THEIR
00:09:47.65\00:09:52.05
SETTLING? WELL JUST THIS WEEK
I'M REALIZING THAT IT'S IN THE
NEWS THAT A FAMILY IS
00:09:52.09\00:09:58.63
SETTLING IN KANSAS CITY,
MISSOURI, A SYRIAN REFUGEE
00:09:58.66\00:10:04.13
FAMILY. AND HAVING JUST LAST
MONTH BEEN SOCIALIZING WITH
SYRIAN REFUGEE CHILDREN IN
00:10:04.17\00:10:10.71
LEBANON, OF COURSE I WANT
TO MEET THIS FAMILY YOU KNOW.
00:10:10.74\00:10:14.61
AND WHEN I GET BACK TO IOWA
THAT'S GOING TO BE ONE OF THE
00:10:14.64\00:10:19.45
THINGS ON THE TOP OF MY LIST.
00:10:19.48\00:10:20.95
SO FROM INDIA, NEPAL AND ALL
THESE DIFFERENT PLACES YOU'VE
00:10:20.98\00:10:25.92
BEEN WITH STUDENT MISSIONS,
MAYBE AFRICA TOO, YES, SUDDENLY
YOU HAVE THE MINISTRY IN
00:10:25.95\00:10:31.96
KANSAS CITY, IOWA AND MISSOURI
AND YOU FIND YOURSELF BEING
00:10:31.99\00:10:37.03
DRAWN OVER TO ONE OF THOSE
BORDER COUNTRIES NEXT TO THE
SYRIAN CONFLICT WHERE
00:10:40.54\00:10:46.17
REFUGEES ARE PACKED INTO I THINK
LEBANON, PACKED INTO JORDAN,
00:10:46.21\00:10:51.78
PACKED INTO TURKEY.
00:10:51.81\00:10:52.88
YOU FIND YOURSELF IN LEBANON.
00:10:52.91\00:10:54.35
HOW DID YOU GET THERE?
00:10:54.38\00:10:55.28
WELL IT'S THE GRACE OF GOD.
00:10:55.32\00:10:57.79
MY HUSBAND IS VERY SINCERELY
WANTING TO WORK AROUND THE
00:10:57.82\00:11:02.96
WORLD. HE WANTS TO HAVE A GLOBAL
VISION AND NOT JUST BE WHERE WE
00:11:05.56\00:11:10.73
ARE. SO WHEN THERE'S A GROUP
THAT BECOMES APPARENT IN OUR OWN
00:11:10.77\00:11:16.07
CONFERENCE HE KNOWS THEY'RE
GOING TO BE IN COMMUNICATION
WITH THEIR FAMILY OVERSEAS.
00:11:16.10\00:11:21.04
I MEAN AS SOON AS SOMEBODY
LEARNS SOMETHING IN AMERICA
00:11:21.08\00:11:25.78
THEY'RE ON THE CELL PHONE
TELLING THEIR RELATIVES IN THEIR
00:11:25.81\00:11:30.32
HOME COUNTRY. OH, COMMUNICATIONS
ARE FAST THESE DAYS.
00:11:30.35\00:11:32.12
OH YES, YES.
00:11:32.15\00:11:33.66
SO HE'S SAYING THAT FOR EVERY
ESTABLISHMENT OF THE WORK IN OUR
00:11:33.69\00:11:38.36
CONFERENCE THEN THAT SHOULD
BEGIN TO STRENGTHEN THE WORK IN
OTHER TERRITORIES AROUND
00:11:40.80\00:11:46.53
THE WORLD.
00:11:46.57\00:11:48.07
AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF KNITTING
BACK AND FORTH YOU KNOW OF
00:11:48.10\00:11:52.24
STITCHES HERE AND THERE.
00:11:52.27\00:11:53.74
SO WE HAD HEARD ABOUT
OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
00:11:53.78\00:11:58.01
IN WALDENSIAN WORK AND
OTHER THINGS IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
00:12:00.55\00:12:03.75
WE KNEW THERE WAS A GREAT NEED
THERE AND MY SON HAS ACTUALLY
00:12:03.79\00:12:08.86
PICKED UP ON THAT INTEREST AND
BECAME A STUDENT AT MIDDLE EAST
UNIVERSITY TWO YEARS AGO.
00:12:10.86\00:12:16.26
AND OF COURSE SINCE THEN I'VE
BEEN LISTENING A LITTLE MORE
00:12:16.30\00:12:22.64
CLOSELY TO ACTIVITY IN THE
MIDDLE EAST AND-HAVING A CHILD
THESE DOES PEAK THE
00:12:22.67\00:12:27.51
INTEREST DOESN'T IT.
00:12:27.54\00:12:28.34
IT PEAKS THE INTEREST.
00:12:28.38\00:12:30.01
AND SO THAT COMBINED WITH MY
HUSBAND'S CONTACTS WITH PEOPLE
00:12:30.05\00:12:35.12
AROUND AND OF COURSE WE HAD OUR
GENERAL CONFERENCE SESSION THIS
SUMMER, WE GOT TO MEET UP
00:12:37.32\00:12:41.76
WITH EVERYBODY THERE.
00:12:41.79\00:12:42.76
GOT TO MEET
EVERYBODY, HEAR ALL THE REPORTS.
00:12:42.79\00:12:45.33
AND CERTAINLY THE NEEDS IN
THE MIDDLE EAST ARE JUST SO
00:12:45.36\00:12:50.47
COMPELLING. SO BECAUSE OF ALL
THESE VARIOUS FACTORS I WAS
READY TO GO, IF NEEDED,
00:12:50.50\00:12:56.97
AND THE OPPORTUNITY CAME AND THE
NEED WAS THERE TO INVESTIGATE
00:12:57.01\00:13:02.61
WHAT THE GO WORKERS COULD
BE DOING IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
00:13:02.64\00:13:05.55
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS THAT WE
AS DONORS AND INVESTORS WE GIVE
00:13:05.58\00:13:12.19
THE FUNDS.
00:13:12.22\00:13:13.66
WE CAN FUND A WORKER OVER THERE
WHO SPEAKS THE LANGUAGE, AMEN,
00:13:13.69\00:13:19.89
KNOWS THE CULTURE, KNOWS THE
NEEDS, PERHAPS HAS LIVED THROUGH
SOME OF THIS AND SUDDENLY
00:13:19.93\00:13:25.03
THEY WANT TO BRING HOPE WHERE
THERE IS SO LITTLE RIGHT NOW.
00:13:25.07\00:13:29.30
ABSOLUTELY, ABSOLUTELY.
00:13:29.34\00:13:33.17
DO WE HAVE GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS THERE IN SAY BEIRUT OR
00:13:33.21\00:13:38.28
THE ENVIRONS AROUND THERE?
00:13:40.58\00:13:41.42
OH GOOD QUESTION.
00:13:41.45\00:13:43.35
I BROUGHT BACK TWO
RECOMMENDATIONS FROM MY TWO WEEK
00:13:43.39\00:13:48.16
TRIP. YOU KNOW I'VE APPRECIATED
GOSPEL OUTREACH THROUGH THE
YEARS BECAUSE WE RUB
00:13:48.19\00:13:51.33
SHOULDERS WITH THEM SO MUCH
IN INDIA, NEPAL AND ZIMBABWE SO
00:13:51.36\00:13:56.40
THAT'S JUST A GIVEN YOU KNOW
THAT YOU'RE GOING TO COUNT ON
THOSE STRONG WORKERS IN THOSE
00:13:58.40\00:14:04.11
TERRITORIES, BUT MY MISSION WAS
TO SEE IF THERE WERE LOCALS WHO
00:14:04.14\00:14:08.88
COULD COME ON AS GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS IN LEBANON.
00:14:08.91\00:14:13.01
ACTUALLY THERE IS ONE
IN BEIRUT AND ONE IN SYRIA.
00:14:13.05\00:14:18.12
WHO ARE LOOKING FOR SPONSORSHIP?
00:14:21.09\00:14:22.92
LOOKING FOR SPONSORSHIP.
00:14:22.96\00:14:24.39
SAY, SPEAKING OF LOOKING
FOR SPONSORSHIP DO YOU KNOW THAT
00:14:24.43\00:14:29.06
THERE IS EVEN A WAY FOR CHILDREN
TO GET INVOLVED IN THIS WHOLE
00:14:29.10\00:14:34.74
PROJECT. I'D LIKE TO SHARE WITH
YOU A LITTLE PROMO THAT WE HAVE
CALLED BE THE SPARK.
00:14:34.77\00:14:42.91
LET'S SEE WHAT
THESE KIDS TELL US.
00:14:42.94\00:14:44.15
I NEED TO SPREAD
THE GOSPEL HERE AT HOME.
00:14:44.18\00:14:48.35
WHERE IS THE
10/40 WINDOW ANYWAY?
00:14:48.38\00:14:51.55
THOSE PEOPLE LIVE TOO FAR AWAY.
00:14:51.59\00:14:54.82
SOMEONE ELSE CAN
TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS.
00:14:54.86\00:14:56.99
MAYBE THEY COULD JUST WATCH TV.
00:14:57.03\00:15:00.76
NEARLY THREE
BILLION PEOPLE TO REACH.
00:15:00.80\00:15:03.60
MY HEAD HURTS.
00:15:03.63\00:15:05.87
THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO.
00:15:05.90\00:15:07.74
I GIVE UP.
00:15:07.77\00:15:09.70
WHAT'S THE POINT OF TRYING?
00:15:09.74\00:15:11.41
I CAN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:15:11.44\00:15:12.97
ACTUALLY YOU CAN
MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:15:13.01\00:15:15.71
AND JESUS ASKED YOU
TO GO TO ALL THE WORLD.
00:15:15.74\00:15:19.91
WHERE?
00:15:19.95\00:15:21.08
ALL THE WORLD.
00:15:21.12\00:15:22.78
HOW CAN I GO, I
HAVE COMMITMENTS.
00:15:22.82\00:15:24.89
YOU CAN PRAY.
00:15:24.92\00:15:27.22
YOU CAN VOLUNTEER YOUR TALENTS.
00:15:27.26\00:15:31.56
YOU CAN TELL OTHERS.
00:15:31.59\00:15:34.93
YOU CAN GIVE MONEY TO
SPONSOR BIBLE WORKERS.
00:15:34.96\00:15:36.77
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE
SEARCHING FOR HOPE AND MEANING.
00:15:36.80\00:15:41.97
BUT THEY WON'T
FIND IT WITHOUT YOU.
00:15:42.00\00:15:44.24
BE THE SPARK.
00:15:44.27\00:15:45.41
LIGHT THE FIRE.
00:15:45.44\00:15:46.91
FINISH THE WORK.
00:15:46.94\00:15:48.24
FINISH THE WORK.
00:15:48.28\00:15:49.94
BE THE SPARK.
00:15:49.98\00:15:55.92
WELCOME BACK TO
ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS.
00:15:55.95\00:15:58.32
I'M HERE WITH GAIL CORIDAN.
00:15:58.35\00:16:03.63
I'M HERE WITH GAIL AND
SHE'S TELLING US ABOUT CHILDREN
00:16:03.66\00:16:09.90
HERSELF. CHILDREN IN
AMERICA WHO'VE GONE OVERSEAS.
00:16:09.93\00:16:12.57
SHE HAS A NEW ADVENTURE
THAT I WANT HER TO SHARE.
00:16:12.60\00:16:16.71
YOU RECEIVED AN INVITATION
TO COME TO BEIRUT ITSELF AND TO
00:16:16.74\00:16:21.81
ACTUALLY MEET SOME OF THE
CHILDREN OF THE FAMILIES THAT
HAVE HAD TO FLEE THE WAR.
00:16:24.51\00:16:27.65
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:16:27.68\00:16:28.42
WHAT A PRIVILEGE.
00:16:28.45\00:16:29.18
HOW DID YOU GET THAT INVITATION?
00:16:29.22\00:16:31.72
WELL LET ME JUST SAY THAT MY
SON SAYS THAT IF YOU'RE TIRED OF
00:16:31.75\00:16:38.13
HEARING THE GOSPEL THEN TRY
TELLING IT AND THAT SPARK JUST
00:16:38.16\00:16:43.16
REMINDED ME. HE AND SOME OF THE
OTHER YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE SPREAD
OUT AROUND THE WORLD TO
00:16:45.33\00:16:50.41
SHARE THE GOSPEL IN SO MANY WAYS
SO I'VE BEEN TRACKING WITH HIM
00:16:52.41\00:16:58.95
AND THEN MY HUSBAND'S LEADERSHIP
IN FINDING REFUGEE GROUPS TO
WORK WITH AND THEN JUST
00:16:58.98\00:17:04.12
THE CONCERN FOR ALL
THESE SYRIAN REFUGEES.
00:17:06.96\00:17:09.46
SO MY HUSBAND ON BEHALF OF
GOSPEL OUTREACH WAS TO
INVESTIGATE IF THERE COULD
00:17:09.49\00:17:14.56
BE WORKERS THERE RIGHT IN
LEBANON WHERE THERE IS JUST SUCH
00:17:17.53\00:17:20.67
A DENSE POPULATION
OF SYRIAN REFUGEES.
00:17:20.70\00:17:22.67
HE COULDN'T GO AT THIS TIME
BECAUSE HE WAS WORKING IN NEPAL
00:17:22.70\00:17:27.98
IN THE FEW WEEKS THAT HE
HAD SET ASIDE FOR OVERSEAS WORK.
00:17:28.01\00:17:30.88
SO WE PRAYED AND I WAS APPOINTED
BY HIM TO MAKE THIS TRIP.
00:17:30.91\00:17:35.98
AND YOU'RE SON CALLED UP AND
SAID OH MOM, PLEASE DON'T COME.
00:17:37.95\00:17:42.92
NO MY SON MET ME AT THE AIRPORT
BLESS HIS HEART AND HE AND HIS
00:17:42.96\00:17:47.60
ROOMMATE HELPED ME MAKE SOME OF
THE CONTACTS I WANTED TO MAKE
BECAUSE MY HUSBAND SENT ME
00:17:47.66\00:17:50.90
WITH A LIST.
00:17:50.93\00:17:51.93
HE SAID YOU KNOW, YOU
NEED TO SEE THESE PEOPLE.
00:17:51.97\00:17:53.90
IN FACT IF YOU DON'T SEE THIS
ONE YOU NEED TO GO TO JORDAN TO
00:17:53.94\00:17:57.44
SEE HIM BUT HOPEFULLY HE WILL
COME TO LEBANON TO SEE YOU AND
HE DID WITH HIS WIFE SO THAT
00:17:57.47\00:18:02.68
WAS GOOD.
00:18:02.71\00:18:04.11
I STARTED WORKING DOWN THE LIST
AND ONE WAS A SYRIAN REFUGEE
00:18:04.15\00:18:07.78
SCHOOL. THE GAL WHO STARTED IT
HAD ACTUALLY, SHE WAS AN
AMERICAN GIRL, BUT SHE
00:18:07.82\00:18:12.52
WENT OVER THERE TO BE OF SERVICE
AND JUST COMMENCED SURVEYING THE
00:18:12.55\00:18:17.73
COMMUNITY, EVEN THE LEADERSHIP,
TO KNOW WHAT SOCIAL SERVICE
WOULD BE OF VALUE TO THE
00:18:17.76\00:18:24.63
COMMUNITY.
00:18:24.67\00:18:26.13
AND HANDS DOWN THEY SAID,
SOMETHING, DO SOMETHING FOR
THESE SYRIAN REFUGEE
00:18:26.17\00:18:30.41
CHILDREN.
00:18:30.44\00:18:31.11
SO SHE STARTED THIS SCHOOL.
00:18:31.14\00:18:35.51
WHEN I CALLED HER AND SAID I
WANT TO COME SEE YOUR SCHOOL, I
00:18:35.54\00:18:40.35
WANT TO UNDERSTAND IT, GET IT IN
MY MIND WHAT COULD I DO THERE,
00:18:40.38\00:18:46.15
SHE SAID WELL YOU TELL ME.
00:18:46.19\00:18:46.99
I SAID WELL I
COULD SCRUB TOILETS.
00:18:47.02\00:18:49.66
SHE SAID NO WE DON'T REALLY
NEED THAT AND I SAID WELL I'M A
00:18:49.69\00:18:53.76
TEACHER BY TRADE SO
COULD I TEACH SOMETHING?
00:18:53.80\00:18:56.26
SHE SAID YES
THAT WOULD BE LOVELY.
00:18:56.30\00:18:57.97
I'LL ASK THE TEACHERS.
00:18:58.00\00:18:58.90
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO TEACH?
00:18:58.93\00:19:00.47
I'VE HAD QUITE A BIT OF TRAINING
AND WORK WITH YOUTH IN PEACE
00:19:00.50\00:19:04.67
MAKING SO I SAID I'D LIKE TO
TEACH PEACE MAKING IN THE MIDDLE
00:19:04.71\00:19:08.24
EAST. I REALLY WOULD.
00:19:08.28\00:19:09.31
THERE'S A NEW CHALLENGE.
00:19:09.34\00:19:11.35
SO SHE TALKED WITH THE TEACHERS
AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD GIVE ME
00:19:11.38\00:19:14.35
AN HOUR EACH MORNING.
00:19:14.38\00:19:15.08
I HAD THREE DAYS TO WORK WITH.
00:19:15.12\00:19:18.12
SO THAT'S WHAT I DID.
00:19:18.15\00:19:20.76
I WENT IN THE SCHOOL.
00:19:20.79\00:19:21.76
I PRIMARILY WORK WITH
FIFTH AND SIXTH GRADERS.
00:19:21.79\00:19:24.59
MY FRIEND DEBBIE QUIGLEY WORKED
WITH LOWER GRADE STUDENTS.
00:19:24.63\00:19:30.67
SO YOU WERE NOT
ALONE ON THIS LITTLE TRIP.
00:19:30.70\00:19:32.57
I WAS NOT.
00:19:32.60\00:19:34.00
WE DIDN'T TRAVEL ON THE
PLANE TOGETHER BUT WE'RE MOTHERS
00:19:34.04\00:19:36.77
TOGETHER OF STUDENTS OVER THERE.
00:19:36.81\00:19:37.84
SO IT WAS A BLESSING TO
WORK WITH THESE CHILDREN.
00:19:37.87\00:19:42.51
THEY ALREADY HAD BEEN HELPED IN
LEARNING ENGLISH AND LEARNING SO
00:19:42.54\00:19:49.42
MANY THINGS.
00:19:49.45\00:19:50.62
JUST HOW TO ADJUST TO THE
BIG CHANGES IN THEIR LIVES.
00:19:50.65\00:19:53.89
WHEN I LISTEN TO NEWS REPORTS
AND INTERVIEWS OF REFUGEES I'M
00:19:53.92\00:19:59.03
SURPRISED AT HOW EASILY THEY
FIND ENGLISH SPEAKING REFUGEES
00:19:59.06\00:20:03.67
TO INTERVIEW. IT SEEMS LIKE
THAT'S A WELL KNOWN LANGUAGE
00:20:03.70\00:20:07.74
AMONG THE SYRIANS. WELL THEY
HAVE VARYING LEVELS OF EXPERTISE
WITH THAT BUT CERTAINLY THE
00:20:07.77\00:20:14.11
CHILDREN NEED TUTELAGE IN
THAT AREA AND SO, THEY WERE
00:20:14.14\00:20:19.78
DELIGHTFUL THOUGH. AND THEY
PICKED UP ON PEACE MAKING SO
00:20:19.81\00:20:23.12
QUICKLY. THEY WANT, THEY
UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S BEEN
KILLING IN THEIR COUNTRY.
00:20:23.15\00:20:28.32
THEY UNDERSTAND ANGER AND LACK
OF FORGIVENESS AND BLAMING AND
00:20:28.36\00:20:35.16
ATTACKING. ALL THESE
CHOICES AND CONSEQUENCES.
00:20:35.20\00:20:38.87
THE CYCLE OF REVENGE.
00:20:38.90\00:20:39.90
THE CYCLE OF REVENGE.
00:20:39.93\00:20:41.37
THEY UNDERSTAND THESE THINGS
BUT HOW TO PUT IT ALL INTO A
00:20:41.40\00:20:47.54
PEACEABLE PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE.
00:20:47.58\00:20:49.04
WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED HERE
IN YOUR TEACHING AND EVERYTHING,
00:20:49.08\00:20:53.48
THAT WAS ABLE TO
TRANSLATE INTO THEIR LIVES.
00:20:53.52\00:20:55.48
OH, JUST FIT IN PERFECTLY.
00:20:55.52\00:20:59.55
AND THEIR LITTLE TESTIMONIES.
00:20:59.59\00:21:01.19
YOU KNOW THE LAST DAY I WAS WITH
THEM I ASKED THEM ONE BY ONE TO
00:21:01.22\00:21:05.86
COME TO THE FRONT OF THE CLASS
AND TELL WHY THEY WANT TO BE
00:21:05.89\00:21:10.87
PEACEMAKERS. AND THEY HAD
BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLES OF YOU KNOW
JUST LITTLE DIFFICULTIES
00:21:10.90\00:21:16.24
BETWEEN EACH OTHER IN THE CLASS
ROOM AND HOW THEY COULD APPROACH
00:21:16.27\00:21:21.01
IT DIFFERENTLY AND HOW THEY HAVE
APPROACHED IT DIFFERENTLY AND
00:21:21.04\00:21:24.28
HOW WONDERFUL IT IS WHEN THERE
IS PEACE AMONG THEIR FRIENDS.
00:21:24.31\00:21:27.05
ONE OF THE MOST TOUCHING REALLY
WAS ONE GIRL SAYING THAT SHE
00:21:27.08\00:21:32.09
WANTED TO BE A PEACEMAKER SO
THAT LOVE COULD COME AGAIN TO
00:21:32.12\00:21:36.06
HER COUNTRY. AND SO YOU KNOW I
THINK THAT WE ALL UNDER ESTIMATE
WHAT WE CAN CONTRIBUTE TO
00:21:36.09\00:21:41.13
THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WHO WE THINK
ARE SO VERY DIFFERENT THAN US
00:21:45.37\00:21:50.31
BUT REALLY WE ALL NEED HELP AND
ENCOURAGEMENT IN OUR HEARTS JUST
00:21:50.34\00:21:55.28
TO DO THE DECENT THING.
00:21:55.31\00:21:56.71
IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU GOT
ENCOURAGEMENT IN YOUR HEART WHEN
00:21:56.75\00:21:59.88
YOU WERE OVER THERE.
00:21:59.91\00:22:00.62
IS THAT RIGHT?
00:22:00.65\00:22:01.35
I SURELY DID, I SURELY DID.
00:22:01.38\00:22:02.85
AND SO WHEN YOU COME BACK, FROM
JUST THREE DAYS THAT YOU GOT TO
00:22:02.88\00:22:05.19
BE IN THE CLASSROOMS, YOU WERE
PROBABLY THERE A BIT MORE THAN
00:22:05.22\00:22:07.82
THAT. TWO WEEKS.
00:22:07.86\00:22:09.89
AS YOU CAME BACK SOMEBODY PUT
YOU ON THE SCHEDULE TO COME TO
00:22:09.92\00:22:14.36
THE GOSPEL OUTREACH
MEETINGS TODAY, THIS WEEKEND.
00:22:14.40\00:22:17.17
AND HAS IT BEEN
ENCOURAGING TO BE HERE?
00:22:17.20\00:22:19.73
FROM THE GET-G0, FROM THE DEAR
MR. WALLY THAT MET ME AT THE
AIRPORT AND TOOK ME
00:22:19.77\00:22:26.11
OUT TO THE CAR AND I SAW THERE
THAT WASHINGTON IS THE EVERGREEN
00:22:26.14\00:22:31.15
STATE AND I WANT TO BE AN
EVERGREEN WITNESS FOR GOD YOU
00:22:31.18\00:22:33.88
KNOW. AND THAT'S WHAT I TAUGHT
MY PEACEMAKING CLASS, PRAY TO
GOD ALL THE TIME AND DO
00:22:33.92\00:22:39.22
IT CONSISTENTLY.
00:22:39.25\00:22:41.39
DON'T, DON'T FAIL.
00:22:41.42\00:22:43.06
SO TALK TO OUR VIEWERS.
00:22:43.09\00:22:45.53
WHAT DO YOU THINK MIGHT BE THE
BEST OUTCOME OF YOUR TRIP OVER
00:22:45.56\00:22:51.30
THERE AND YOUR WORKING
COORDINATING WITH GOSPEL
00:22:51.33\00:22:53.23
OUTREACH? WHAT MIGHT BE
THE BEST OUTCOME FROM THAT?
00:22:53.27\00:22:55.77
WELL I'M THRILLED TO BE ABLE
TO BRING BACK THE NAMES OF TWO
00:22:55.80\00:23:00.94
INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE A HEART TO
WORK FOR THE SYRIAN PEOPLE AND
FOR ONE TO BE ACTUALLY
00:23:03.04\00:23:08.12
LIVING IN SYRIA, ONE TO BE
RIGHT THERE IN BEIRUT IS JUST SO
00:23:12.22\00:23:17.03
THRILLING. I ACTUALLY HAVE THE
NAME OF ANOTHER GAL WHO IS
MARRIED TO AN AMERICAN
00:23:17.06\00:23:23.80
OVER THERE THAT HAS LEARNED
ARABIC, TAKEN UPON HERSELF TO
00:23:23.83\00:23:27.77
LEARN ARABIC AND
WANTS TO DO BIBLE WORK.
00:23:27.80\00:23:29.17
BUT AS FAR AS GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS, TO HAVE THE ONLY
00:23:29.20\00:23:34.84
SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST WORKER IN SYRIA.
00:23:34.88\00:23:37.51
I MEAN WE HAVE NOBODY
ELSE ON THE CHURCH PAYROLL.
00:23:37.55\00:23:41.08
WHATEVER ORGANIZED WORK WE HAVE
THERE HAS PROBABLY BEEN
DISRUPTED BY THE WAR.
00:23:41.12\00:23:46.72
WHATEVER ORGANIZED WORK WE
HAVE THERE WE HAVE NO WORKER FOR
00:23:46.76\00:23:51.13
SYRIA, FOR THE COUNTRY OF SYRIA.
00:23:51.16\00:23:52.66
WE COULD HAVE A GO WORKER THERE
AND WE COULD HAVE A GO WORKER IN
00:23:52.69\00:23:58.27
BEIRUT WHERE WE'RE ALREADY
MAKING SO MANY SYRIAN FRIENDS.
00:23:58.30\00:24:02.40
AND THEY ARE JUST LOVELY, LOVELY
PEOPLE WITH LOVELY CHILDREN.
00:24:02.44\00:24:07.21
OH MY.
00:24:07.24\00:24:08.68
SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE
AN ENTHUSIAST FOR THIS.
00:24:08.71\00:24:10.68
WELL I HOPE SO BECAUSE I'VE
BEEN BLESSED BY THEM, I'VE BEEN
00:24:10.71\00:24:15.15
TOUCHED AND I WANT
TO SHARE THE GOOD NEWS.
00:24:15.18\00:24:16.82
SO IT WORKS BOTH WAYS.
00:24:16.85\00:24:18.29
YOU BELIEVE THAT WITH GOSPEL
OUTREACH'S SUPPORT FROM THE
00:24:18.32\00:24:23.16
DONORS, YOU WHO ARE PART OF THIS
TEAM WHO GIVE TO THIS, AND BY
THE WAY DON'T FORGET YOU CAN
00:24:23.19\00:24:29.43
BECOME A PART OF THE FACEBOOK
SUPPORTERS OF GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:24:29.46\00:24:33.94
YOU CAN BECOME SOMEBODY WHO
GIVES TO THE WEBSITE AND I THINK
00:24:33.97\00:24:38.71
IT'S CALLED OFFICE@GOAIM.ORG
<mailto:OFFICE@GOAIM.ORG>
ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS .
00:24:38.74\00:24:45.48
ORG.
00:24:45.51\00:24:46.61
YOU CAN GO THERE.
00:24:46.65\00:24:47.35
YOU CAN BECOME A PARTICIPANT.
00:24:47.38\00:24:48.68
THERE ARE PHONE NUMBERS TO CALL
THAT YOU CAN FIND RIGHT THERE.
00:24:48.72\00:24:51.22
THEY MAY APPEAR ON YOUR SCREEN.
00:24:51.25\00:24:53.22
YOU CAN BECOME
INVESTORS IN THIS.
00:24:53.25\00:24:55.89
AND YOU MAY FEEL CALLED BY GOD
TO SAY THAT'S WHERE I WANT TO
00:24:55.92\00:25:02.23
PUT MY MONEY. I WOULD LOVE TO
SEE MY FUNDS SUPPORTING A GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKER IN SYRIA
00:25:02.26\00:25:08.37
ITSELF.
00:25:08.40\00:25:09.77
THAT WOULD BE MUCH MORE POSITIVE
THAN JUST LISTENING TO THE NEWS
00:25:09.80\00:25:13.14
OF WHOSE OVER TAKEN THIS CITY
AND DESTROYED THIS AND HOW MANY
PEOPLE HAVE DIED, TO
00:25:13.17\00:25:17.21
GO AND SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN
LIVE BECAUSE OF JESUS CHRIST.
00:25:17.25\00:25:20.82
AMEN.
00:25:20.85\00:25:22.25
I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS BECAUSE
I SENSE THAT WE'RE ALL A PRODUCT
00:25:22.28\00:25:28.09
OF OUR ENVIRONMENT AND WE FACE
A CONTINUAL BARRAGE OF OPINIONS,
00:25:28.12\00:25:33.19
THERE YOU GO, IN AMERICA ABOUT
HOW WE SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT
RESPOND TO CRISES IN OTHER
00:25:35.20\00:25:41.50
PLACES.
00:25:41.54\00:25:42.24
SYRIA IS THERE.
00:25:42.27\00:25:44.27
IT'S HIGH ON THE TOPIC LIST FOR
MANY PEOPLE AND IF A PERSON CAN
00:25:44.31\00:25:50.78
SENSE THAT GOD HAS CALLED THEM
TO DO SOMETHING BETTER THAN THE
POLITICAL SIDE OF IT,
00:25:50.81\00:25:55.68
BETTER THAN THE JUDGMENTAL SIDE
TO SAY THERE ARE PEOPLE THERE
00:25:55.72\00:26:01.89
WHO GOD WANTS TO BE
MY NEIGHBORS FOREVER.
00:26:01.92\00:26:03.26
AMEN.
00:26:03.29\00:26:04.66
THOSE CHILDREN ARE GOING TO GROW
UP AND TO HAVE THEM AS BROTHERS
00:26:04.69\00:26:07.93
AND SISTERS IN CHRIST WITH A
HEALTHY RESPECT MAKING PEACE
BETWEEN THEMSELVES,
00:26:07.96\00:26:12.97
WOW.
00:26:15.44\00:26:16.60
THAT'S THE WATCHWORD OF
EDUCATION IS SOMETHING BETTER.
00:26:16.64\00:26:19.11
IT IS.
00:26:19.14\00:26:20.68
AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO JUST
SPREAD AROUND THE WORLD IN EVERY
00:26:20.71\00:26:24.91
WAY WE CAN. YOU KNOW IT'S REALLY
EXCITING TO SEE YOUR EXCITEMENT.
00:26:24.95\00:26:27.98
AND I PRAY THAT YOU AND YOUR
CHILDREN AND YOUR HUSBAND WILL
00:26:28.02\00:26:33.12
JUST CONTINUE TO SEE GOD AT WORK
BOTH THERE IN MID AMERICA AND
OVER IN THE MIDDLE EAST
00:26:33.15\00:26:38.23
AND THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
00:26:41.16\00:26:42.80
IT WILL BE FUN TO HEAR ALL THE
STORIES THAT WE GET TO SHARE IN
00:26:42.83\00:26:48.04
ETERNITY. OH MY.
00:26:48.07\00:26:49.64
WELL THANK YOU AGAIN FROM
ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS AND WE
JUST PRAY THAT GOD WILL
00:26:49.67\00:26:54.81
BE WITH YOU AND YOUR ADVENTURES.
