[OPENING MUSIC].
00:00:00.50\00:00:14.88
WELCOME TO "ADVENTURES
IN MISSIONS" HERE AT GOSPEL
00:00:14.91\00:00:17.15
OUTREACH. I'M JULIE
SANDERS-KEYMER AND WE'RE SO GLAD
THAT YOU HAVE TUNED IN TO WATCH

OUTREACH AND IF YOU ARE NEW TO
GOSPEL OUTREACH WE WANT TO SAY A
BIG WELCOME TO YOU.
00:00:25.65\00:00:30.09
AND GOSPEL OUTREACH FOCUSES ON
A VERY INTERESTING PART OF OUR
00:00:30.13\00:00:34.10
WORLD.
00:00:34.10\00:00:34.63
IT IS A BIG RECTANGLE.
00:00:34.66\00:00:36.13
IT'S CALLED THE 10/40 WINDOW AND
IT GOES FROM WEST AFRICA ALL THE
00:00:36.16\00:00:40.77
WAY THROUGH PAKISTAN, INDIA,
CHINA TO JAPAN AND IT IS FROM
TEN TO FORTY DEGREES
00:00:40.80\00:00:46.94
NORTH OF THE EQUATOR.
00:00:46.98\00:00:48.48
THIS IS THE MOST HEAVILY
POPULATED AREA OF OUR GLOBE AND
00:00:48.51\00:00:53.62
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PEOPLE
STILL NEED TO KNOW ABOUT JESUS
00:00:53.65\00:00:57.05
IN THIS AREA. AND THAT'S WHERE
GOSPEL OUTREACH-THAT'S WHERE WE
FOCUS OUR MISSION WORK AND
00:00:57.09\00:01:01.82
WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU AND WE
WANT TO INVITE YOU ALONG TODAY
00:01:01.86\00:01:05.63
AS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ONE
OF THE COUNTRIES IN THIS 10/4O
00:01:05.66\00:01:09.70
WINDOW TODAY. AND I WANT TO
INVITE LINDA SHULTZ HERE TO THE
00:01:09.73\00:01:13.64
PROGRAM. NICE TO SEE YOU.
00:01:13.67\00:01:14.74
NICE TO SEE YOU TOO, JULIE.
00:01:14.77\00:01:16.17
SO WE'VE KIND OF GIVEN A LITTLE
OVERVIEW FOR SOMEONE WHO MIGHT
00:01:16.20\00:01:19.47
BE NEW TO THE PROGRAM, LINDA
AND YOU ARE ONE OF THE REGIONAL
00:01:19.51\00:01:23.18
DIRECTORS-YOU AND
YOUR HUSBAND CHARLES.
00:01:23.21\00:01:24.31
UH HUH.
00:01:24.35\00:01:24.98
WHICH COUNTRY?
00:01:25.01\00:01:25.65
NEPAL.
00:01:25.68\00:01:26.92
AND TELL US A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT NEPAL.
00:01:26.95\00:01:29.18
WELL, NEPAL IS ACTUALLY IT IS
A VERY SMALL COUNTRY AND IT'S IN
00:01:29.22\00:01:34.16
SOUTHEAST ASIA IN THE 10/40
WINDOW AND I HAVE A LITTLE
PICTURE HERE SO TO JUST GIVE THE
00:01:34.19\00:01:38.83
VIEWERS AN IDEA OF
WHERE IT IS LOCATED.
00:01:38.86\00:01:41.66
GOOD.
00:01:41.70\00:01:43.23
IT IS, IT'S TUCKED-IT'S THAT
LITTLE COUNTRY THAT'S TUCKED
00:01:43.26\00:01:45.83
INBETWEEN INDIA TO THE SOUTH AND
CHINA TO THE NORTH IN SOUTHEAST
00:01:45.87\00:01:48.10
ASIA. IT'S A
RELATIVELY SMALL COUNTRY.
00:01:48.14\00:01:51.21
IT IS MAYBE ABOUT THE SIZE
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITH 30
00:01:51.24\00:01:56.54
MILLION PEOPLE IN IT.
00:01:56.58\00:01:57.21
WOW!
00:01:57.25\00:01:58.78
SO THAT KIND OF GIVES US SOME
PERSPECTIVE AND OF COURSE, WE
00:01:58.81\00:02:02.35
KNOW THAT THERE IS A
VERY TALL MOUNTAIN IN NEPAL.
00:02:02.38\00:02:05.39
MOUNT EVEREST, YES.
00:02:05.42\00:02:06.79
AND A LOT OF
PEOPLE TAKE TRIPS THERE.
00:02:06.82\00:02:09.06
WE HEAR ABOUT HIKING ADVENTURES
THERE IN THE SPRING AND I HAD A
00:02:09.09\00:02:12.86
FRIEND WHO WAS THERE EARLIER AND
OH, THE PICTURES WERE FANTASTIC.
00:02:12.89\00:02:16.20
I AM AMAZED AT HOW
MANY PEOPLE VISIT NEPAL.
00:02:16.23\00:02:18.37
IT IS A LOVELY COUNTRY.
00:02:18.40\00:02:20.50
IT'S THE MOUNTAINS ARE JUST
ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR AND IT IS
00:02:20.54\00:02:23.97
A VERY RUGGED TERRAIN WHICH
EVEN THOUGH IT'S A SMALL COUNTRY
00:02:24.01\00:02:29.81
TRAVEL AROUND NEPAL IS PRETTY
DIFFICULT TRYING TO GET FROM ONE
LOCATION TO THE OTHER.
00:02:29.84\00:02:33.05
THE ROADS AREN'T THE GREATEST
AND YOU KNOW, WITH THINKING
00:02:33.08\00:02:36.55
ABOUT GOING FROM ALMOST SEA
LEVEL AT ONE END OF THE COUNTRY
AND UP TO THESE TALLEST
00:02:36.58\00:02:40.86
MOUNTAINS IN THE WORLD AH, IN
NOT A GREAT AMOUNT OF DISTANCE
00:02:40.89\00:02:44.93
YOU CAN IMAGINE IT'S, YOU KNOW,
THERE'S A LOT OF HILLS, A LOT OF
00:02:44.96\00:02:47.46
VALLEYS, A LOT OF MOUNTAINS AND
YOU KNOW A LOT OF VILLAGES
TERRACED UP INTO THE MOUNTAINS.
00:02:47.50\00:02:52.97
IT'S QUITE A SPECTACULAR PLACE.
00:02:53.00\00:02:55.17
SO WE, THAT HELPS PUT IT IN
PERSPECTIVE TOO, THE STATE OF
00:02:55.20\00:02:59.77
NEW YORK OF THE SIZE OF NEPAL.
00:02:59.81\00:03:00.58
BUT TELL US A LITTLE BIT MORE.
00:03:00.61\00:03:02.11
WE HEAR OF COURSE, AS WE
MENTIONED ABOUT MOUNTAINS BUT
WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE?
00:03:02.14\00:03:06.05
WHAT ABOUT RELIGION?
00:03:06.08\00:03:08.22
WELL, WE'VE GOT ABOUT 30
MILLION PEOPLE LIVING IN NEPAL.
00:03:08.25\00:03:12.42
THE PREDOMINANT
RELIGION THERE IS HINDU.
00:03:12.45\00:03:14.56
PROBABLY ABOUT 80 PER CENT OF
THE COUNTRY IS HINDU BACKGROUND.
00:03:14.59\00:03:19.73
THE REST, THERE IS BUDDHIST.
00:03:19.76\00:03:21.80
IT MAYBE MAKES UP
ABOUT ANOTHER TEN PER CENT.
00:03:21.83\00:03:24.53
SOME OF IT IS A LITTLE BIT
OF A COMBINATION OF HINDU AND
00:03:24.57\00:03:28.60
BUDDHIST AND THEN THERE IS A
SMALL MUSLIM POPULATION, SOME
ANIMISTS AND VERY, VERY SMALL
00:03:28.64\00:03:33.94
CHRISTIAN POPULATION.
00:03:33.98\00:03:35.51
SO, FOR OUR VIEWERS WHO MIGHT
NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT HINDUISM CAN
00:03:35.54\00:03:40.72
YOU GIVE US A
WIKIPEDIA EDITION OF THAT?
00:03:40.75\00:03:45.02
I'M NOT AN EXPERT ON HINDUISM
BUT I KNOW IT IS A VERY ANCIENT
00:03:45.05\00:03:49.86
RELIGION AND THEY
BELIEVE IN MANY, MANY GODS.
00:03:49.89\00:03:53.56
SO THERE'S A LOT OF STATUES,
TEMPLES, FESTIVALS AND IT'S
00:03:53.60\00:03:58.80
JUST-IT'S REALLY AS MUCH OF A
RELIGION AS A WAY OF LIFE AND I
00:03:58.83\00:04:03.97
THINK LIKE CHRISTIANITY, THERE
IS A LOT OF DIFFERENT, UM,
DENOMINATIONS AND BELIEFS.
00:04:05.97\00:04:09.11
IT IS REALLY HARD TO PUT
HINDUISM JUST IN ONE LITTLE BOX.
00:04:09.14\00:04:13.01
SURE.
00:04:13.05\00:04:14.58
UH, SO THERE ARE SOME THAT ARE
VERY, YOU KNOW, DEVOUT ONE WAY
00:04:14.62\00:04:18.92
AND OTHERS IT IS REALLY
MORE JUST A WAY OF LIFE.
00:04:18.95\00:04:21.19
IT IS MORE CULTURE.
00:04:21.22\00:04:22.59
SURE, SURE WELL AND I THINK FOR
US IN THE WESTERN WORLD FOR US
00:04:22.62\00:04:27.86
YES, WE HAVE OUR CULTURES, YES
WE HAVE OUR RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS
00:04:27.86\00:04:31.53
THINGS LIKE THAT AS CHRISTIANS
BUT WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT
HINDUISM AND IN A CULTURE IT IS
00:04:31.57\00:04:37.14
VERY STEEPED IN THESE COUNTRIES
AND FOR US - FOR EXAMPLE HERE IN
00:04:37.17\00:04:43.41
AMERICA, NORTH AMERICA WE'RE A
MELTING POT OF SO MANY DIFFERENT
00:04:43.45\00:04:47.25
CULTURES, RELIGIONS,
LANGUAGES AND ALL OF THAT.
00:04:47.28\00:04:48.98
SO TRUE.
00:04:49.02\00:04:50.42
BUT WHEN YOU GO TO A COUNTRY
WHERE IT IS SO CONDENSED AND
00:04:50.45\00:04:55.12
WHEN THEY ARE SO HEAVILY
ONE RELIGION OR ANOTHER RELIGION
00:04:55.16\00:04:59.23
THAT'S WHERE IT IS A LITTLE
HARDER FOR US TO UNDERSTAND
00:04:59.26\00:05:01.33
THAT. RIGHT, BECAUSE THAT'S NOT
A COUNTRY THAT'S BEEN AROUND FOR
00:05:01.36\00:05:04.50
DECADES OR CENTURIES, YOU KNOW,
THIS IS A LONG, LONG, LONG TIME.
00:05:04.53\00:05:08.10
YOU KNOW
THOUSANDS OF YEARS, YES.
00:05:08.14\00:05:09.90
THAT THIS RELIGION HAS
BEEN A PART OF THIS CULTURE.
00:05:09.94\00:05:12.71
SO LINDA, BASED ON ALL OF THAT
UM, WITH WHAT YOU'VE SHARED-SO
00:05:12.74\00:05:17.71
HOW IS CHRISTIANITY VIEWED?
00:05:17.75\00:05:19.61
UM, CHRISTIANITY IS -HAS NEVER
REALLY BEEN ACCEPTED OFFICIALLY
00:05:19.65\00:05:26.25
IN, YOU KNOW, LIKE THE SEVENTH -
WELL THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH IS NOT
OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED
00:05:26.29\00:05:30.43
IN NEPAL.
00:05:30.46\00:05:31.93
IT'S AND NEPAL WAS VERY CLOSED
TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD FOR MANY,
00:05:31.96\00:05:38.33
MANY YEARS DECADES AND CENTURIES
REALLY AND SO IT REALLY WASN'T
00:05:38.37\00:05:43.37
UNTIL IN MAYBE AROUND THE 1950'S
THAT THEY WERE EVEN OPENING THE
WORLD A LITTLE BIT TO THE
00:05:43.41\00:05:49.38
OUTSIDE WORLD.
00:05:49.41\00:05:50.88
IT IS A VERY, VERY CLOSED
COUNTRY FOR A LONG, LONG TIME
AND THERE IS POCKETS
00:05:50.91\00:05:54.65
IN THE COUNTRY THAT YOU
SEE LIKE - WOW, IS THIS 2016?
00:05:54.68\00:05:59.05
YES, WHAT YEAR ARE WE IN?
00:05:59.09\00:06:00.59
WHAT DECADE ARE WE IN?
00:06:00.62\00:06:01.99
WHAT CENTURY ARE WE IN BECAUSE
SOME OF IT IS JUST SO PRIMITIVE.
00:06:02.02\00:06:04.83
YES.
00:06:04.86\00:06:05.49
YES.
00:06:05.53\00:06:06.90
THEY JUST DON'T HAVE THE
CONVENIENCES AND THE ADVANCES
00:06:06.93\00:06:08.96
THAT WE HAVE ALTHOUGH
ALMOST EVERYONE HAS A CELLPHONE.
00:06:09.00\00:06:11.07
YES, ISN'T THAT THE TRUTH?
00:06:11.10\00:06:12.83
YOU GO WELL IN CHINA YOU'RE OUT
IN A RICE PADDY AND YOU KNOW MEN
00:06:12.87\00:06:18.84
WILL HAVE TWO CELLPHONES.
00:06:18.87\00:06:19.54
YES.
00:06:19.57\00:06:20.98
WELL, WE KIND OF LAUGH -JOKE
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE TIME
00:06:21.01\00:06:24.68
BECAUSE AGAIN BACK TO OUR
WESTERN CULTURE WHERE WE HAVE
SEEN SO MANY ADVANCES BUT DUE
00:06:24.71\00:06:29.45
TO THE POVERTY AND ALL OF THAT
AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE GOING TO
00:06:29.48\00:06:32.02
BE TALKING ABOUT HERE AND
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO US.
00:06:32.05\00:06:34.66
THAT I THINK, IS ALSO THE
HUMBLING ASPECT TOO, RIGHT?
00:06:34.69\00:06:38.23
YES, AS FAR-AS FAR AS WHAT THE
PEOPLE ARE DEALING WITH AND WHAT
00:06:38.26\00:06:44.03
THEY HAVE AND THE JOY THAT THEY
HAVE DESPITE THE LACK OF THINGS
00:06:44.07\00:06:48.97
AND ALL OF THAT. THERE IS
TREMENDOUS POVERTY IN NEPAL AND
MANY COUNTRIES IN -REALLY IN
00:06:49.00\00:06:54.98
THAT 10/40 WINDOW
THAT WE TALKED ABOUT.
00:06:55.01\00:06:56.98
YES.
00:06:57.01\00:06:58.48
UM, I DO HAVE ANOTHER PICTURE
HERE OF THE 10/40 WINDOW JUST TO
00:06:58.51\00:07:02.98
DESCRIBE AGAIN THAT AREA
THAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT.
00:07:03.02\00:07:04.79
SO THIS IS THE AREA
THAT WE ARE WORKING IN.
00:07:04.82\00:07:06.25
PRETTY MUCH WHERE THE INDIA
BUBBLE IS UP ON THE TOP HERE,
00:07:06.29\00:07:09.96
RIGHT, THAT IS NEPAL.
00:07:09.99\00:07:11.49
BUT YOU LOOK AT THAT 10/40
WINDOW THOUGH, LINDA, AND THAT
00:07:11.53\00:07:14.36
IS A TON OF REAL ESTATE.
00:07:14.36\00:07:15.86
THAT LONG RECTANGLE IT IS JUST,
JUST THINK OF WHAT WE KNOW AS
00:07:15.90\00:07:20.30
YOU LOOK AROUND I
MEAN-INDIA, CHINA.
00:07:20.34\00:07:21.74
I MEAN JUST THESE STAND ALONE
COUNTRIES THAT WE KNOW OF WITH A
00:07:21.77\00:07:24.97
HUGE POPULATION.
00:07:25.01\00:07:25.51
BILLIONS OF PEOPLE.
00:07:25.54\00:07:27.04
YES.
00:07:27.08\00:07:28.58
THE MOST POVERTY, THE MOST
ILLITERATE AND THE MOST PEOPLE
00:07:28.61\00:07:31.25
WHO HAVE NEVER
HEARD ABOUT JESUS.
00:07:31.28\00:07:32.71
AND WHERE ALL THE
MAJOR RELIGIONS STARTED.
00:07:32.75\00:07:34.75
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:07:34.78\00:07:35.68
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:07:35.72\00:07:36.42
THEY ALL STARTED IN THAT AREA.
00:07:36.45\00:07:37.99
SO, YOU'VE KIND OF PAINTED THE
PICTURE GEOGRAPHICALLY AND
DEMOGRAPHICALLY WITH
00:07:38.02\00:07:42.99
THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE SO
WE'VE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
00:07:43.02\00:07:48.96
CHRISTIANITY SO DO WE HAVE AN
IDEA OF HOW CHRISTIANS THERE ARE
00:07:49.00\00:07:52.43
IN NEPAL? DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA
HOW MANY SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS
00:07:52.47\00:07:55.44
CHRISTIANS ARE THERE?
00:07:55.47\00:07:56.94
MY UNDERSTANDING IS THERE'S
ABOUT -NOW THERE'S ABOUT THREE
00:07:56.97\00:08:00.71
PER CENT OF THE POPULATION IS
CHRISTIAN WHICH WOULD BE ABOUT A
00:08:00.74\00:08:05.75
MILLION. UM, OF THAT SEVENTH
DAY ADVENTISTS IS QUITE SMALL.
00:08:05.78\00:08:09.68
I THINK WE HAVE ABOUT 5-6000
SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS IN NEPAL
00:08:09.72\00:08:14.09
RIGHT NOW.
00:08:14.12\00:08:14.82
AND HOW ARE THEY PERCEIVED?
00:08:14.86\00:08:16.36
I MEAN ONCE THEY ACCEPT JESUS,
IS THIS-WHEN YOU ARE GOING FROM
00:08:16.39\00:08:20.66
A RELIGION WITH THOUSANDS OF
GODS AND THEN YOU GO TO A LIVING
GOD IS THIS SOMETHING
00:08:20.70\00:08:25.17
CULTURALLY THAT THEY ARE
HAVING TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN
00:08:25.20\00:08:28.74
FAMILIES AND
FRIENDS AND ALL OF THAT?
00:08:28.77\00:08:30.37
WHAT WE SEE SO OFTEN THERE IS
THAT THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY FOR
00:08:30.41\00:08:34.98
A PERSON TO REALLY CONVERT AND
BE COMFORTABLE IN THEIR SOCIETY
IS THE WHOLE FAMILY CONVERTS.
00:08:39.65\00:08:43.89
YES.
00:08:43.92\00:08:45.42
AND WE SEE SO MANY CASES OF
HEALING, PEOPLE WHO ARE SICK AND
00:08:45.45\00:08:49.66
SOMEONE PRAYED FOR THEM AND THEY
ARE HEALED AND JUST LIKE WHEN
JESUS TOUCHED THE HEART OF
00:08:52.09\00:08:54.73
THE WOMAN AT THE WELL, THEN THEY
WANT TO GO AND TELL EVERYONE
00:08:54.76\00:08:59.83
ABOUT IT AND WHEN THEIR FAMILIES
ARE CONVERTED AND THEN VILLAGES
00:09:04.47\00:09:08.61
ARE CONVERTED THEN THEY HAVE
THAT SUPPORT OF, YOU KNOW, A
CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY.
00:09:08.64\00:09:14.35
YES, TO SUPPORT THEM.
00:09:14.38\00:09:15.75
AS AN INDIVIDUAL CHRISTIAN
IT IS VERY, VERY DIFFICULT.
00:09:15.78\00:09:18.32
WELL AND THAT'S THE POWER OF
THIS BOOK AND THAT'S THE POWER
00:09:18.35\00:09:22.66
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND
YES, MIRACLES DO STILL HAPPEN.
00:09:22.69\00:09:25.63
I SAW A DRAMA OF THAT, YOU
MENTIONED THE LADY AT THE WELL,
00:09:25.66\00:09:29.46
I SAW A DRAMA OF THAT PUT TO
MUSIC AND THERE WAS JUST THE
VIDEO OF TWO ACTORS REPRESENTING
00:09:29.50\00:09:35.87
THE LADY AT THE WELL AND JESUS
AND THEN IT SHOWED HER GOING ALL
00:09:35.90\00:09:41.28
THROUGH TOWN TELLING EVERYBODY
AND IT GIVES ME SHIVERS JUST
THINKING ABOUT IT BECAUSE
00:09:41.31\00:09:45.11
THAT'S REALLY HOW IT WAS.
00:09:45.15\00:09:46.38
THAT'S REALLY HOW IT WAS,
YES, SO THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT.
00:09:46.41\00:09:49.08
SO GIVE US A LITTLE HISTORY
ABOUT SOME -HOW CHRISTIANITY HAS
00:09:49.12\00:09:53.32
COME TO NEPAL AND
ADVENTIST CHRISTIANITY.
00:09:53.36\00:09:56.29
IN PARTICULAR SOME OF THE
THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN INROADS.
00:09:56.32\00:10:00.30
WELL, NEPAL REALLY STARTED
TO OPEN ITS DOORS SLOWLY TO THE
00:10:00.33\00:10:06.23
WESTERN WORLD. MAYBE IN THE
1950'S AND SO MEDICAL
MISSIONARIES-THEY WERE ALLOWING
00:10:06.27\00:10:11.34
DOCTORS TO COME IN, SET UP
CLINICS, BECAUSE THERE ARE JUST
REALLY WAS SO, SO VERY
00:10:13.48\00:10:17.11
LITTLE THERE.
00:10:17.15\00:10:18.45
THE FIRST SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST
MEDICAL MISSIONARIES THAT WENT
00:10:18.48\00:10:21.58
THERE WAS IN THE LATE 1950'S AND
THAT WAS DR. STANLEY STURGIS AND
00:10:21.62\00:10:28.49
HIS WIFE RAYLENE.
00:10:28.52\00:10:29.99
THEY WENT THERE AND THEY
ACTUALLY COULDN'T JOIN THE
MAINSTREAM OTHER MEDICAL
00:10:30.03\00:10:36.63
MISSIONARIES WHO
WERE THERE SO THEY- WHY?
00:10:36.67\00:10:40.64
WELL, BECAUSE THEY WERE SEVENTH
DAY ADVENTISTS SO THEY WERE PUT
00:10:40.67\00:10:43.74
OUT IN ANOTHER VILLAGE BETWEEN
BANEPA AND DHULIKHAL WHICH IS
ABOUT THIRTY KILOMETERS
00:10:43.77\00:10:49.08
OUTSIDE OF KATHMANDU AND THEY
STARTED A SMALL CLINIC THERE AND
00:10:49.11\00:10:54.88
THEY LIVED WITH THE LOCAL PEOPLE
AND STARTED TO MAKE FRIENDSHIPS
00:10:54.92\00:11:00.39
WITH THEM AND THEY WERE THE ONLY
CLINIC IN THAT AREA FOR MANY,
00:11:00.42\00:11:05.59
MANY, MANY PEOPLE. AND SO THAT
WAS REALLY THE MEDICAL
MISSIONARIES WERE HOW THE
00:11:05.63\00:11:12.20
MESSAGE, THE ADVENTIST CHURCH
WAS FIRST STARTED THERE AND I
HAD THE OPPORTUNITY LAST YEAR
00:11:12.23\00:11:18.17
TO MEET DR. STURGIS
AND HIS WIFE RAYLENE.
00:11:18.21\00:11:21.48
THAT'S A PICTURE
OF THEM ON THE RIGHT.
00:11:21.51\00:11:25.25
THEY ARE RETIRED NOW FOR MANY,
MANY YEARS BUT IT WAS REALLY A
00:11:25.28\00:11:29.85
BLESSING TO MEET THEM AND
HEAR MORE ABOUT THE EARLY DAYS.
00:11:29.88\00:11:32.39
SURE.
00:11:32.42\00:11:33.82
AND THEN AFTER THEM FOLLOWED
ANOTHER FAMILY -AND THAT'S A
00:11:33.86\00:11:37.16
PICTURE OF YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND,
YES, YES THAT'S MY HUSBAND AND I
00:11:37.19\00:11:41.90
ON THE LEFT. BUT THEN ABOUT TEN
YEARS LATER ANOTHER DOCTOR WENT
00:11:41.93\00:11:45.40
THERE. DR. RICHARD CLARK
AND THEY CONTINUED THE WORK IN
00:11:45.43\00:11:51.87
NEPAL. HIS WIFE FORMED THE FIRST
SABBATH SCHOOL THERE SO THERE
00:11:51.91\00:11:56.68
WERE AND YOU KNOW, BUILT
FRIENDSHIPS, RELATIONSHIPS AND
SO SLOWLY, SLOWLY SEEDS WERE
00:11:56.71\00:12:00.98
SOWN, YES, AND UM.
00:12:01.02\00:12:03.39
YOU KNOW, THE FIRST FEW PEOPLE
WERE CONVERTED AND THOSE WERE
00:12:03.42\00:12:08.32
SOME VERY, VERY DIFFICULT YEARS
BUT SOME VERY IMPORTANT SEEDS
WERE SOWN DURING THAT TIME.
00:12:08.36\00:12:12.49
AND THE HOSPITAL IS CONTINUING-I
HAD A GIRLFRIEND ACTUALLY SHE
00:12:12.53\00:12:15.03
VOLUNTEERED THERE AT THE
HOSPITAL, YES, AND SO MEDICAL
00:12:15.06\00:12:18.67
MISSIONARY WORK IS HUGE THERE.
00:12:18.70\00:12:20.20
THIS IS A PICTURE, YES, OF
SCHEER MEMORIAL HOSPITAL WHICH
00:12:20.24\00:12:24.31
IS NOW GROWN FROM THIS SMALL
CLINIC TO NOW IT IS A THREE
STORY 150 BED HOSPITAL SERVING
00:12:24.34\00:12:30.01
THE POPULATION OF THE AREA AND
YES, I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE
00:12:30.05\00:12:34.22
PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH
THIS IF THEY'VE BEEN TO NEPAL.
00:12:34.25\00:12:35.98
A LOT OF DOCTORS WILL GO
THERE, VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME.
00:12:36.02\00:12:38.69
YES.
00:12:38.72\00:12:39.25
DENTISTS AND SO FORTH.
00:12:39.29\00:12:40.46
WELL AND I KIND OF LIKE IT.
00:12:40.49\00:12:41.92
IT LOOKS KIND OF LIKE A CHATEAU
FROM SWITZERLAND OR SOMEWHERE
00:12:41.96\00:12:44.79
WITH THE BRICK AND THE IVY AND I
THINK THE MOUNTAINS OF YOU KNOW,
00:12:44.83\00:12:48.83
MT. EVEREST BEING THERE THAT'S
WHAT IT KIND OF LOOKED LIKE TO
00:12:48.86\00:12:51.13
ME. UH HUH.
00:12:51.17\00:12:52.67
SO WE HAVE GOSPEL OUTREACH
PRESENCE IN NEPAL AND YOU AND
YOUR HUSBAND ARE THE
00:12:52.70\00:12:56.97
REGIONAL DIRECTORS AND WE ARE
GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT THAT
00:12:57.01\00:13:00.54
BUT BEFORE WE DO THAT, WE ARE
GOING TO INVITE YOU TO LEARN
MORE ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH AND
00:13:00.58\00:13:05.38
HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED.
00:13:05.41\00:13:07.48
GOSPEL OUTREACH BEGAN A MISSION
TWENTY YEARS AGO BY ASKING ONE
00:13:10.02\00:13:14.16
SIMPLE QUESTION.
00:13:14.19\00:13:14.79
WHAT IS JESUS WAITING FOR?
00:13:14.82\00:13:16.59
IN A WORLD FILLED WITH FAMINE,
HUNGER AND STARVATION WHAT IS
00:13:16.62\00:13:21.86
JESUS WAITING FOR?
00:13:21.90\00:13:23.63
IN A WORLD FILLED WITH
EARTHQUAKES, HURRICANES AND
NATURAL CALAMITIES,
00:13:23.67\00:13:27.00
WHAT IS JESUS WAITING FOR?
00:13:27.04\00:13:30.31
THE GOSPEL TELLS US IN MATTHEW
24:14, "AND THIS GOSPEL OF THE
00:13:30.34\00:13:35.11
KINGDOM SHALL BE PREACHED IN
ALLTHE WORLD FOR A WITNESS UNTO
ALL NATIONS AND THEN
00:13:35.14\00:13:39.98
SHALL THE END COME."
00:13:40.02\00:13:42.08
INSPIRED BY THOSE WORDS, GOSPEL
OUTREACH BEGAN WITH ONE WORKER,
00:13:43.59\00:13:48.02
AND OVER THE PAST TWENTY YEARS
HAS GROWN INTO AN ORGANIZATION
WITH 2200 WORKERS IN 40
00:13:48.06\00:13:53.70
PLUS COUNTRIES.
00:13:53.73\00:13:55.16
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS AN
INDEPENDENT SEVENTH DAY
ADVENTIST LAY MINISTRY RUN
00:13:55.20\00:13:58.90
ENTIRELY BY VOLUNTEERS.
00:13:58.93\00:14:01.00
YES, YOU HEARD THAT CORRECTLY.
00:14:01.04\00:14:02.70
IT'S AN ALL
VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION.
00:14:02.74\00:14:04.71
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKS WITH
THE ORGANIZED CHURCH TO SPONSOR
00:14:04.74\00:14:10.05
BIBLE WORKERS IN
UNREACHED TERRITORIES.
00:14:10.08\00:14:11.58
NOW, YOU MIGHT ASK DOESN'T THIS
TAKE AWAY THE CHURCH IS ALREADY
00:14:11.61\00:14:17.09
DOING WITH OVERSEAS MISSIONS?
00:14:17.12\00:14:19.09
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
00:14:19.12\00:14:20.62
DIRECT SPONSORSHIP IS JUST
A PART OF THE EQUATION JUST AS
00:14:20.66\00:14:25.83
LARGE A PART IS STAYING INVOLVED
IN THE WORK THE CHURCH IS DOING
THROUGH MISSIONS OFFERING.
00:14:25.86\00:14:29.56
GOSPEL OUTREACH MAIN DESIRE
IS TO RAISE FUNDS WHICH ARE SENT
00:14:29.60\00:14:33.70
DIRECTLY TO THE CHURCH TO PAY
BIBLE WORKERS WHO HELP SPREAD
THE GOSPEL IN THE 10/40
00:14:33.74\00:14:37.61
WINDOW.
00:14:37.64\00:14:39.27
NOW WHAT EXACTLY
IS THE 10/40 WINDOW?
00:14:39.31\00:14:42.64
THE 10/40 WINDOW IS A REGION OF
THE EASTERN HEMISPHERE LOCATED
00:14:42.68\00:14:46.61
BETWEEN 10 AND 40
DEGREES NORTH OF THE EQUATOR.
00:14:46.65\00:14:49.02
WHAT MAKES THIS REGION SPECIAL?
00:14:49.05\00:14:52.49
NINETY -SEVEN PER CENT OF
ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, WHO
00:14:52.52\00:14:55.72
HAVE NEVER HEARD THE
NAME OF JESUS, LIVE HERE.
00:14:55.76\00:14:58.66
NOW HOW EXACTLY DOES GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORK TO REACH THESE
00:14:58.69\00:15:03.60
PEOPLE? WE DO THIS BY WORKING
WITH THE CHURCH AS IT PLACES
TRAINED INDIGENOUS WORKERS
00:15:03.63\00:15:07.47
IN NEW TERRITORIES.
00:15:07.50\00:15:09.04
SENDING OUT
DISCIPLES JUST AS JESUS DID.
00:15:09.07\00:15:12.51
WE SPONSOR BIBLE
WORKERS LIKE PRABIR RUBIN.
00:15:12.54\00:15:15.24
PRABIR IS FROM INDIA AND WITH
THE HELP OF OUR SPONSORSHIP; HIS
00:15:15.28\00:15:19.05
CHURCH CONFERENCE HAS SENT HIM
TO THE SMALL VILLAGE OF MARUA TO
00:15:19.08\00:15:23.72
SHARE THE GOSPEL. THESE
INDIVIDUALS HAD NEVER HEARD THE
NAME OF JESUS AND THEIR LIVES
00:15:23.75\00:15:27.62
HAVE BEEN CHANGED FOREVER.
00:15:27.66\00:15:29.09
IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS
THERE HAVE BEEN NINE ADDITIONAL
00:15:29.12\00:15:33.56
BAPTISMS DUE TO
THE WORK OF PRABIR.
00:15:33.60\00:15:35.23
UNTIL A FEW MONTHS AGO, THE
LOCAL MEMBERS OF THIS CHURCH
00:15:35.26\00:15:38.77
HAVE BEEN
WORSHIPING IN A HOUSE CHURCH.
00:15:38.80\00:15:40.64
RECENTLY, A NEW MEMBER NAMED
ERISMA GAVE HIS LIFE TO GOD AND
00:15:40.67\00:15:45.01
DONATED A PIECE OF HIS
OWN LAND TO THE CHURCH.
00:15:45.04\00:15:47.21
ON IT A NEW TIN
CHURCH HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED.
00:15:47.24\00:15:51.01
IT STILL NEEDS SOME WORK BUT
GOD'S CHURCH CONTINUES TO GROW
00:15:51.05\00:15:55.15
HERE IN INDIA. WHEN A BIBLE
WORKER SPONSORED BY GOSPEL
OUTREACH ENTERS A NEW
00:15:55.18\00:15:59.35
VILLAGE, IT IS ESTIMATED THAT IN
THE FIRST YEAR AN ADDITIONAL 300
00:15:59.39\00:16:04.29
INDIVIDUALS WILL BE BAPTIZED AND
COMMIT THEIR LIVES TO CHRIST.
00:16:04.33\00:16:08.63
INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE NEVER HEARD
THE AMAZING STORY OF GOD'S LOVE
00:16:08.66\00:16:12.70
ARE GETTING TO MEET
JESUS FOR THE FIRST TIME.
00:16:12.73\00:16:16.77
NOW HOW CAN YOU HELP?
00:16:16.81\00:16:21.04
BIBLE WORKERS LIKE PRABIR RELY
ON SPONSORSHIPS TO SUPPORT THEM
00:16:21.08\00:16:24.65
AND THEIR FAMILIES AS THEY SHARE
THE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE OF GOD.
00:16:24.68\00:16:28.38
THIS IS WHY GOSPEL OUTREACH IS
INTRODUCING OUR "ADOPT-A-WORKER
00:16:28.42\00:16:33.09
PROGRAM" TOGETHER WITH THE
CHURCH, WE IDENTIFY NEW WORKERS
00:16:33.12\00:16:37.69
IN AREAS THAT
NEED TO BE REACHED.
00:16:37.73\00:16:39.19
WE HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED A
REQUEST FROM PASTOR RON WATTS,
00:16:39.23\00:16:43.60
RETIRED SOUTHERN ASIA DIVISION
PRESIDENT, FOR 10,000 NEW BIBLE
WORKERS IN INDIA ALONE.
00:16:43.63\00:16:49.64
THE NEED IN THE REST OF ASIA AND
AFRICA IS JUST AS LARGE WHERE
00:16:49.67\00:16:53.48
PEOPLE ARE HUNGRY TO HEAR GOD'S
WORD AND THAT IS WHY IT IS OUR
GOAL TO INTRODUCE A
00:16:53.51\00:16:58.25
MILLION NEW PEOPLE TO
JESUS IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS.
00:16:58.28\00:17:02.02
ALL THAT IS REMAINING FOR THIS
WORK TO BEGIN IS YOUR FINANCIAL
00:17:02.05\00:17:07.06
HELP. THE AVERAGE COST OF A
BIBLE WORKER IS $150 A MONTH.
00:17:07.09\00:17:10.86
FOR SOME, THAT'S TOO MUCH
TO SPONSOR ON THEIR OWN BUT
00:17:10.89\00:17:15.16
TOGETHER WITH YOUR CHURCH,
SABBATH SCHOOL GROUP OR SCHOOL
YOU CAN TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE
00:17:15.20\00:17:19.27
WORK BEING DONE AND SPONSOR
A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER FOR A
00:17:19.30\00:17:23.27
YEAR. IN RETURN WE WILL KEEP YOU

BLESSES IN SO MANY FANTASTIC
00:18:34.04\00:18:37.55
WAYS AND WE WANT TO SAY THANK

00:18:37.58\00:18:40.98
GOSPEL OUTREACH. TODAY HERE ON
"ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS" I'M

HI LINDA.
00:18:43.92\00:18:44.59
HI.
00:18:44.62\00:18:46.09
IT IS GREAT HAVING YOU HERE AND
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NEPAL AND
00:18:46.12\00:18:47.82
BEFORE THE BREAK WE WERE TALKING
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE COUNTRY,
00:18:47.86\00:18:51.99
HINDUISM THAT IS 80% DOMINANT
THERE AND TELL US HOW GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS ARE
00:18:52.03\00:18:57.03
WORKING IN NEPAL AND HOW PEOPLE
ARE BEING DRAWN TO CHRISTIANITY.
00:18:57.07\00:19:01.57
WE-OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS
ARE REALLY THE BACKBONE OF THE
00:19:01.60\00:19:06.51
CHURCH IN NEPAL.
00:19:06.54\00:19:07.51
I KEEP HEARING THAT
OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
00:19:07.54\00:19:09.48
WE ARE CURRENTLY SUPPORTING
59 BIBLE WORKERS IN NEPAL.
00:19:09.51\00:19:13.38
THIS IS A PICTURE OF
JUST ONE OF OUR WORKERS.
00:19:13.42\00:19:15.82
UM AND THEY ARE DOING A LOT OF
WORK TO BRING THE GOSPEL MESSAGE
00:19:15.85\00:19:22.39
TO THE PEOPLE IN NEPAL.
00:19:22.42\00:19:24.13
AND YOU HAVE, WE DON'T SEE HIS
WHOLE FACE-TELL US WHY THAT IS?
00:19:24.16\00:19:29.16
UM, CHRISTIANITY IS UNDER THREAT
RIGHT NOW IN NEPAL AND SO FOR
00:19:31.57\00:19:36.64
HIS SECURITY I AM NOT
SHOWING HIS WHOLE FACE.
00:19:38.64\00:19:39.64
I UNDERSTAND THAT.
00:19:39.67\00:19:41.68
SO 59 WORKERS AND THEY ARE
GOING AS WE CAN SEE HERE THIS IS
00:19:41.71\00:19:46.48
SOMEONE'S HOME AND
THEY ARE GOING DOOR TO DOOR.
00:19:46.51\00:19:47.38
THAT IS ACTUALLY A CHURCH.
00:19:47.42\00:19:48.18
OH, THAT IS THE CHURCH.
00:19:48.22\00:19:49.38
O.K.
00:19:49.42\00:19:50.05
YES.
00:19:50.09\00:19:51.05
I WAS GOING TO SAY IT
IS A LARGE HOME BUT, YES.
00:19:51.09\00:19:51.95
NO THAT WOULD BE
VERY LARGE FOR A HOME.
00:19:51.99\00:19:53.39
THAT IS A CHURCH THAT
HE IS STANDING IN FRONT OF.
00:19:53.42\00:19:55.86
OK.
00:19:55.89\00:19:56.69
BUT THEY ARE
WORKING VERY, VERY HARD.
00:19:56.73\00:19:57.86
WE HAD AROUND
2000 MAYBE AROUND 2000.
00:19:57.89\00:20:01.06
WE ONLY HAD A HANDFUL OF GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS MAYBE ABOUT TEN
00:20:01.10\00:20:06.07
BUT BETWEEN 2005 AND 2015 A
WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY OPENED UP
00:20:06.10\00:20:11.81
IN NEPAL TO SHARE THE GOSPEL.
00:20:11.84\00:20:12.84
THAT WAS BECAUSE THERE
WAS A REVOLUTION IN 2005.
00:20:12.87\00:20:17.18
THE OLD GOVERNMENT WAS KICKED
OUT THEN IT TOOK TEN YEARS TO
00:20:17.21\00:20:21.12
UM-FOR THE NEW CONSITUTION TO BE
PUT IN PLACE AND THAT REALLY
GAVE JUST A TREMENDOUS
00:20:21.15\00:20:26.55
WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY FOR
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN NEPAL AND
DURING THAT TIME WE
00:20:26.59\00:20:31.56
BUILT UP TO SUPPORTING 59
WORKERS, WONDERFUL, AND THE
CHRISTIANITY ALMOST
00:20:31.59\00:20:37.47
QUADRUPLED DURING THAT TIME.
00:20:37.50\00:20:40.17
THE CHURCH EXPERIENCED A GREAT
DEAL OF GROWTH AND WHAT'S TRULY
00:20:40.20\00:20:44.27
ATTRACTING PEOPLE TO THE
CHURCH-I'VE GOT ANOTHER PICTURE
HERE OF THE INSIDE OF ONE OF
00:20:44.31\00:20:49.84
OUR CHURCHES.
00:20:49.88\00:20:51.35
THERE IS SO MUCH -FOR
ONE,HOPELESSNESS IN THE SOCIETY
00:20:51.38\00:20:56.12
AND YOU KNOW SO MUCH POVERTY, SO
MUCH DESPAIR, SO MUCH
HOPELESSNESS AND THEY WHEN
00:20:56.15\00:21:01.29
THEY LEARN THE MESSAGE OF THE
GOSPEL AND ABOUT THIS GOD WHO
00:21:03.63\00:21:08.73
LOVES THEM SO MUCH AND ABOUT
HEAVEN AND THAT THERE IS MORE ON
THIS EARTH THAN JUST WHAT THEY
00:21:08.76\00:21:15.30
HAVE, THEY ARE SO DRAWN TO THAT,
UM JUST THE HOPE AND ALSO I HAD
00:21:15.34\00:21:20.38
MENTIONED ABOUT THE HEALINGS.
00:21:23.38\00:21:24.25
YES.
00:21:24.28\00:21:25.75
GOD REALLY SEEMS TO SHOW HIS
POWER IN A MIGHTY WAY IN NEPAL
00:21:25.78\00:21:31.75
BECAUSE I HEAR STORIES AFTER
STORIES AFTER STORIES OF PEOPLE
WHO WERE SICK; PEOPLE WHO
00:21:31.79\00:21:37.06
JUST HAD NO HOPE OF RECOVERY;
THEY HAD DONE EVERYTHING THAT
00:21:37.09\00:21:41.26
THEY KNOW TO DO AND ONE OF OUR
BIBLE WORKERS WILL COME AND PRAY
FOR THEM OR THEY WOULD GO
00:21:41.30\00:21:47.87
TO SCHEER MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AND
THEY WERE HEALED AND THEN THEY
00:21:47.90\00:21:52.74
WERE LIKE THE WOMAN AT THE WELL,
UH HUH, WHO HAD TO GO BACK AND
00:21:52.77\00:21:55.81
TELL EVERYONE. HAVE YOU HEARD?
00:21:55.84\00:21:56.58
HAVE YOU HEARD?
00:21:56.61\00:21:57.28
HAVE YOU HEARD?
00:21:57.31\00:21:58.48
EXACTLY, EXACTLY AND SO A
LOT OF PEOPLE ARE BEING DRAWN.
00:21:58.51\00:22:03.95
THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF THE
VILLAGES AND YOU KNOW, THIS IS
00:22:03.99\00:22:09.12
SUCH A TERRIBLY, TERRIBLY POOR
AREA BUT WE WERE ABLE TO DO SOME
LITERACY CENTERS IN THAT
00:22:09.16\00:22:15.46
AREA- PROVIDE SOME EDUCATION FOR
THESE PEOPLE AND SO YOU KNOW, I
00:22:15.50\00:22:20.64
THINK IT IS THAT COMBINATION OF
THE HOPE THAT CHRISTIANITY
OFFERS AND THEY ARE SEEING
00:22:20.67\00:22:25.04
THE POWER OF GOD THAT IS REALLY
DRAWING THEM AND WANTING THEM TO
00:22:25.07\00:22:31.61
KNOW MORE. BUT LINDA, FOR ME YOU
HIT ON THE WORD-IT IS HOPE
BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE IN A
00:22:31.65\00:22:36.42
DESPERATE SITUATION WHEN YOU
DON'T SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END
00:22:36.45\00:22:40.09
OF THE TUNNEL YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE
TO THE MIDDLE OF THE TUNNEL AND
BUT TO HAVE HOPE IN JESUS
00:22:40.12\00:22:44.93
AND TO HAVE JOY AND SEE THE
JOY ON THE WOMEN'S FACE THERE AS
00:22:44.96\00:22:47.76
THEY SAT. WAS THAT A CHURCH?
00:22:47.76\00:22:48.73
IT LOOKED LIKE THEY
WERE GATHERING IN A CHURCH.
00:22:48.76\00:22:50.17
YES, YES.
00:22:50.20\00:22:51.63
AND I KNOW FOR ME I MEAN THAT
IS HUGE FOR ME AND I CAN ONLY
00:22:51.67\00:22:56.17
IMAGINE WHAT IT
IS FOR THESE PEOPLE.
00:22:56.20\00:22:57.47
YES, AND I HEAR OVER AND OVER
AGAIN THEY'RE JUST SO THANKFUL.
00:22:57.51\00:23:00.68
WE WORK VERY, VERY CLOSELY WITH
THE ORGANIZED CHURCH IN NEPAL
00:23:00.71\00:23:05.61
-THE NEPAL SECTION AND OVER AND
OVER AGAIN THEY ARE JUST SO, SO
THANK FUL FOR GOSPEL
00:23:05.65\00:23:09.52
OUTREACH FOR THEHELP THAT WE
PROVIDE TO THEM AND IT'S THEIR
00:23:09.55\00:23:14.69
WORDS THAT OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS ARE THE BACKBONE OF THE
00:23:14.72\00:23:16.96
WORK THERE. YES.
00:23:16.99\00:23:18.53
BECAUSE THEY ARE THE BOOTS ON
THE GROUND AND THEY ARE THE ONES
00:23:18.56\00:23:21.00
THAT ARE TAKING THE GOSPEL
TO THE UNREACHED IN NEPAL.
00:23:21.03\00:23:23.70
BUT AS YOU MENTIONED, EVERY
DAY IS A GIFT IN THAT GOD GIVES
00:23:23.73\00:23:29.17
EVERY OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO TAKE
THE HOOK-TO HOOK ON AND TO SHARE
00:23:29.20\00:23:33.38
JESUS AND WHAT YOU MENTIONED
ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION- PRAISE
THE LORD FOR THE GROWTH OF THE
00:23:33.41\00:23:37.38
CHURCH AND PEOPLE HEARING ABOUT
JESUS DURING THAT TIME AND EVEN
00:23:37.41\00:23:41.75
THOUGH THIS NEW CONSTITUTION IS
HERE GOD IS STILL GOING TO
CONTINUE TO BLESS BUT WE
00:23:41.78\00:23:45.82
HAVE TO TAKE EVERY OPPORTUNITY
AND THAT'S WHERE OUR VIEWERS AND
00:23:45.85\00:23:49.56
PEOPLE SUPPORTING GOSPEL
OUTREACH THROUGH THE FINANCIAL
00:23:49.59\00:23:53.63
GIFTS, PRAYER OF COURSE IS HUGE
TO DO THE COMBINATION OF ALL OF
THIS THEN WE CAN HAVE MORE
00:23:53.66\00:23:58.07
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS.
00:23:58.10\00:23:59.47
AND THE MESSAGE THAT I REALLY
WANTED TO SHARE TODAY AND THE
00:23:59.50\00:24:03.61
PRAYER REQUEST THAT I REALLY
WANTED TO SHARE TODAY IS SINCE
2015 NEPAL DOES HAVE
00:24:03.64\00:24:08.68
A NEW CONSTITUTION AND ACCORDING
TO THAT CONSTITUTION IT'S
00:24:08.71\00:24:13.25
AGAINST CIVIL LAW TO CONVERT
FROM ONE RELIGION TO ANOTHER AND
IT'S ALSO AGAINST THE
00:24:13.28\00:24:18.95
LAW PUNISHABLE BY FINES,
IMPRISONMENT TO DO ANYTHING THAT
00:24:18.99\00:24:22.76
WOULD ENCOURAGE ANYONE TO
CONVERT FROM ONE RELIGION TO
00:24:22.79\00:24:26.73
ANOTHER. WOW.
00:24:26.76\00:24:28.23
SO THIS HAS BEEN -WE'VE HAD THIS
10 YEARS OF OPEN, YES, RELIGIOUS
00:24:28.26\00:24:33.27
FREEDOM THERE AND THAT DOOR HAS
CLOSED AS OF LAST YEAR AND SO
OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:24:33.30\00:24:39.54
WORKERS WERE KIND OF STRUGGLING
WITH AND PRAISE THE LORD THEY
00:24:39.57\00:24:44.21
HAVE NOT STOPPED
THEIR WORK THERE.
00:24:44.25\00:24:45.08
GOOD.
00:24:45.11\00:24:46.45
AND NONE OF THEM HAVE HAD ANY
IMPRISONMENT, YOU KNOW,THREAT OF
00:24:46.48\00:24:50.42
IMPRISONMENT YET BUT YOU KNOW,
WHAT WE ARE DOING THERE AND YOU
00:24:50.45\00:24:56.52
KNOW WE JUST REALLY, REALLY NEED
PRAYER FROM EVERYONE FOR THEIR
STRENGTH, FOR THEIR
00:24:56.56\00:25:01.06
COURAGE, FOR THEIR PROTECTION,
YES, TO CARRY THE WORK FORWARD
00:25:01.10\00:25:05.57
BECAUSE WE'RE GOING INTO A VERY,
VERY DIFFICULT TIME IN NEPAL.
00:25:05.60\00:25:09.97
THE CHURCH HAS NEVER BEEN
OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED AND YOU
00:25:10.01\00:25:14.61
KNOW, NOW IT IS CERTAINLY
WOULDN'T BE BUT YOU KNOW, PEOPLE
ARE STILL MAKING DECISIONS FOR
00:25:14.64\00:25:20.25
BAPTISM.
00:25:20.28\00:25:21.68
HERE IS A GROUP OF YOUNG
PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, WHO ARE MAKING
00:25:21.72\00:25:27.49
DECISIONS FOR BAPTISM.
00:25:27.52\00:25:28.19
UM, PRAYER.
00:25:28.22\00:25:29.62
UM THEY ARE PRAYING, PRAYING,
PRAYING AND THEY ARE ASKING US
00:25:29.66\00:25:32.93
TO PRAY. YOU
KNOW, PRAY FOR THE WORK.
00:25:32.96\00:25:34.66
THEIR HEARTS HAVE
BEEN TOUCHED BY JESUS.
00:25:34.73\00:25:37.13
THEY ARE CONVERTED.
00:25:37.17\00:25:38.67
THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO SHARE
IN THIS COUNTRY AND THE WORK IS
00:25:38.70\00:25:42.07
GOING FORWARD REALLY REGARDLESS.
00:25:42.10\00:25:43.64
THEIR FEELING IS THAT THE LAW OF
GOD IS ABOVE THE LAW OF MAN AND
00:25:43.67\00:25:48.78
YOU KNOW SO THEY ARE DOING
WHAT GOD HAS ASKED THEM TO DO.
00:25:48.81\00:25:50.71
UH, BIBLE STUDIES THEY ARE SO
INTERESTED IN THE BIBLE AND THEY
00:25:50.75\00:25:55.82
ARE ASKING US FOR
MORE AND MORE AND MORE.
00:25:55.85\00:25:57.32
PLEASE COME HELP US AND THAT
IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MY
00:25:57.35\00:26:02.92
HUSBAND AND I DO IS WE ARE THE
LIAISON BETWEEN GOSPEL OUTREACH
AND THE FIELD AND WE'LL BE
00:26:02.96\00:26:07.20
GOING THERE IN A COUPLE OF
MONTHS TO BE MEETING WITH THEM,
ENCOURAGING THEM AND
00:26:07.23\00:26:12.13
HELPING THEM TO GO WITH FURTHER
BIBLE STUDIES AND AS I MENTIONED
00:26:12.17\00:26:16.67
THE BAPTISMS ALSO, YOU KNOW,
BAPTISMS ARE GOING FORWARD.
00:26:16.71\00:26:20.48
THEY MAY NOT BE QUITE AS OPEN AS
THEY WERE A FEW YEARS BACK BUT
00:26:20.51\00:26:26.68
WE ARE STILL SEEING A
LOT OF BAPTISMS THERE.
00:26:26.72\00:26:28.32
WELL AND YOU KNOW, THE ACRONYM
FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH IS GO-GOSPEL
00:26:28.35\00:26:34.02
OUTREACH AND IN MATTHEW AND MARK
THE GREAT COMMISSION IT IS GO
00:26:34.06\00:26:38.63
AND GOD DIDN'TSAY, JESUS DIDN'T
SAY WELL, THIS THAT-HE SAID GO
00:26:38.66\00:26:42.96
AND IT WILL BE
FIGURED OUT FOR US.
00:26:43.00\00:26:44.40
