[OPENING MUSIC].
00:00:00.50\00:00:15.31
HELLO.
00:00:15.34\00:00:16.38
I'M DICK DUERKSEN AND
WELCOME TO GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:00:16.41\00:00:20.42
AND TODAY ON ADVENTURES IN
MISSIONS OUR GUEST IS MARTY
00:00:20.45\00:00:24.92
PHILLIPS FROM NPRAXIS.
00:00:24.95\00:00:27.06
NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN DICK.
00:00:27.09\00:00:28.19
IT IS.
00:00:28.22\00:00:29.26
YOU KNOW I HAVE ONE
BASIC QUESTION FOR YOU TODAY.
00:00:29.29\00:00:32.39
WHAT IS A HOME CHURCH?
00:00:32.43\00:00:34.93
EXCELLENT QUESTION.
00:00:34.93\00:00:36.23
A HOME CHURCH IS USUALLY THOUGHT
OF WHERE CHURCH IS DONE AT HOME.
00:00:36.26\00:00:40.27
IN OUR PARTICULAR CONTEXT HOME
CHURCH IS USUALLY THE PEOPLE OF
00:00:40.30\00:00:45.87
THAT HOME, AND OUTSIDE THE
WESTERN CONTEXT THE HOME IS
00:00:45.91\00:00:49.41
USUALLY LARGER.
THERE IS MOM AND DAD.
00:00:49.44\00:00:50.41
THERE'S KIDS.
00:00:50.45\00:00:51.55
THERE COULD BE AN AUNT
AND UNCLE LIVING IN THE HOUSE.
00:00:51.58\00:00:53.25
THERE MIGHT BE SOME SERVANTS.
00:00:53.28\00:00:55.15
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A
FAMILY CHURCH IN MY HOUSE.
00:00:55.18\00:00:57.49
YES.
00:00:57.52\00:00:59.49
AND EVERYBODY JOINS?
00:00:59.52\00:01:01.42
EVERYBODY JOINS IN THE FAMILY.
00:01:01.46\00:01:03.36
IS THAT BECAUSE MOST OF THE
CULTURES YOU'RE WORKING IN, IF
00:01:03.39\00:01:07.00
DAD SAYS THIS IS
WHAT WE DO WE DO?
00:01:07.03\00:01:08.30
OR BECAUSE THERE IS
A PERSONAL CONVICTION?
00:01:08.33\00:01:12.10
I WOULD SAY THERE'S
A PERSONAL CONVICTION.
00:01:12.13\00:01:14.04
NOW THE UNDERSTANDING OF HONOR
THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER IS
00:01:14.07\00:01:19.14
MUCH HIGHER IN CULTURES OUTSIDE
THE WESTERN CULTURE SO IF IT'S
GOOD FOR DAD IT'S GOOD FOR
00:01:22.21\00:01:27.15
ME.
00:01:27.18\00:01:28.65
AND SO THERE IS A PERSONAL
CONVICTION BUT THOSE CONVICTIONS
00:01:28.68\00:01:32.19
HAPPEN IN A DIFFERENT WAY THAN
THEY DO IN OUR WESTERN SETTING.
00:01:32.22\00:01:34.49
SO LET'S SAY I'M CONVICTED
BECAUSE I READ TEN BIBLE VERSES
00:01:34.52\00:01:40.13
THAT SAID THIS. OUTSIDE OF
WESTERN CULTURE I MIGHT BE
CONVICTED BECAUSE MY FRIENDS
00:01:40.16\00:01:43.53
SAID THE SABBATH
WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.
00:01:43.57\00:01:45.53
OKAY.
00:01:45.57\00:01:46.80
SO IF THERE WAS A BLESSING
IN IT FOR YOU I WANT TO DO IT.
00:01:46.84\00:01:48.30
IF MY DAD WAS BLESSED BY
LEARNING TO KEEP THE SABBATH
00:01:48.34\00:01:53.31
PROBABLY THE REST OF THE
FAMILY WANTS TO RECEIVE THE SAME
00:01:53.34\00:01:57.58
BLESSING DAD DOES. ARE MOSTLY
THE MEN THE CONTACT INTO THAT
HOUSE, INTO THAT HOME?
00:01:57.61\00:02:03.52
BY AND LARGE IT HAPPENS A LOT.
00:02:03.55\00:02:05.32
WE'VE TRIED NOT TO PREY ON THE
WEAK NOR ON THE CHILDREN NOR ON
00:02:05.35\00:02:10.73
ANY MEMBER IN
SOCIETY THAT IS SEEN AS WEAK.
00:02:10.76\00:02:12.29
WE TRY TO HIT AT THE HEAD
FIRST AND I THINK THAT FOLLOWS
00:02:12.33\00:02:16.67
BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES.
00:02:16.70\00:02:17.73
IF YOU WIN THE TOP OF
SOCIETY IT ALL FLOWS DOWN.
00:02:17.77\00:02:22.77
OKAY.
00:02:22.80\00:02:24.31
AND SO WHETHER THAT IS AT THE
HOME LEVEL OR IF YOU TRY TO WORK
00:02:24.34\00:02:28.94
FIRST WITH THE TOP RELIGIOUS
LEADERS IN THE NATION THAT'S
ALWAYS BEEN OUR POLICY AT LEAST
00:02:28.98\00:02:33.38
IN THE ORGANIZATION WE WORK WITH
WHERE WE TRY TO REACH THE TOP
00:02:33.42\00:02:39.45
FIRST WHETHER IT'S DOWN AT THE
FAMILY LEVEL OR WHATEVER AREA.
00:02:39.49\00:02:43.93
THAT MAKES IT EASIER TO ACTUALLY
DEVELOP A HOUSE CHURCH I WOULD
00:02:43.96\00:02:47.46
THINK. IT DOES A WHOLE LOT.
00:02:47.50\00:02:49.16
BECAUSE YOU DO HAVE THAT
LEADERSHIP AUTHORITY LEVEL WHICH
WOULDN'T WORK QUITE
00:02:49.20\00:02:53.10
AS EASILY IN THE UNITED STATES.
00:02:53.13\00:02:55.47
WELL I WOULD SAY, I MEAN I'M NOT
SIGNIFICANTLY INVOLVED IN HOUSE
00:02:55.50\00:02:57.97
CHURCH IN THE U.S.
00:02:58.01\00:02:59.47
BUT I DO KNOW QUITE A BIT
OF HOUSE CHURCH LEADERS AND IT
00:02:59.51\00:03:02.21
DOESN'T HAPPEN ON AUTHORITY
BUT IT HAPPENS ON THE INFLUENCE
00:03:02.24\00:03:06.05
LEVEL. OKAY.
00:03:06.08\00:03:07.38
AND SO IT MIGHT BE A GROUP
OF FRIENDS THAT GATHER TOGETHER.
00:03:07.42\00:03:11.82
IT MIGHT BE A
COUPLE EXTENDED FAMILIES.
00:03:13.76\00:03:17.86
SEVERAL FRIENDS THAT
GATHER FOR HOUSE CHURCH.
00:03:17.89\00:03:21.20
SO LAST TIME WE WERE TOGETHER
YOU TALKED ABOUT THE VALUE OF A
00:03:21.23\00:03:26.74
PERSON OF PEACE IN A COMMUNITY,
IN A HOME, IN A BIG SOCIETY, IN
00:03:26.77\00:03:28.07
A TRIBE. HOW DO YOU
DISCOVER WHO THOSE ARE?
00:03:28.10\00:03:29.54
THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION DICK
AND I WOULD SAY A LOT OF THAT IS
00:03:29.57\00:03:31.41
A GOD THING BUT IT'S
BECAUSE THEY EXAMPLE SEVERAL
00:03:31.44\00:03:32.91
CHARACTERISTICS. FIRST OF ALL
USUALLY A PERSON OF PEACE WE
HAVE FOUND THAT HE'S A GENEROUS
00:03:32.94\00:03:37.85
PERSON.
00:03:46.86\00:03:50.19
OKAY.
00:03:50.23\00:03:53.80
HE'S A PERSON THAT IF A
MISSIONARY GOES, MANY TIMES THEY
00:03:53.83\00:03:57.60
DIDN'T KNOW QUITE WHAT TO CALL
HIM, HE WILL GIVE PROTECTION, HE
WILL GO AROUND TO HELP YOU
00:03:57.63\00:03:59.60
FIND A HOUSE TO LIVE IN.
00:03:59.63\00:04:00.40
HE WILL DO
THESE TYPES OF THINGS.
00:04:00.44\00:04:01.94
SO A PERSON OF PEACE IN THIS
SETTING IS USUALLY RECOGNIZED
00:04:01.97\00:04:08.21
QUITE QUICKLY. LET'S SAY IN OUR
CONTEXT A MUSLIM OR WE'VE SEEN
IT IN HINDU CONTEXT AS WELL AS
00:04:08.24\00:04:13.28
OTHERS.
00:04:18.35\00:04:19.75
IT'S THAT PERSON WHO IS VERY
FRIENDLY, WHO IS GENEROUS, WHO
00:04:19.79\00:04:22.39
OFFERS PROTECTION.
00:04:22.42\00:04:23.73
BUT WE'VE FOUND SOME THINGS THAT
ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THAT.
00:04:23.76\00:04:28.70
PEOPLE OF PEACE ALSO ARE
VERY TIED TO LAND AND PEOPLE.
00:04:28.73\00:04:31.67
TELL ME WHAT THAT MEANS.
00:04:31.70\00:04:33.77
THEY LOVE THEIR LAND
AND THEY LOVE THEIR PEOPLE.
00:04:33.80\00:04:37.57
AND I'LL GIVE YOU AN
EXAMPLE IN EASTERN CONTEXT.
00:04:37.61\00:04:41.34
OKAY.
00:04:41.38\00:04:42.21
FOR EXAMPLE IF
THERE IS TIME OF WAR.
00:04:42.24\00:04:43.75
I'VE BEEN A FEW PLACES THAT
WERE IN THE MIDST OF WAR TIME.
00:04:43.78\00:04:47.62
MOST EVERYONE LEAVES AND I FOUND
ALL OF A SUDDEN HERE'S THIS
00:04:47.65\00:04:52.35
PERSON WHO HAS PLENTY OF MONEY
TO FLEE THE COUNTRY OR EVEN
LEAVE THE TOWN AND HE SAYS I'M
00:04:52.39\00:04:55.42
NOT LEAVING.
00:04:55.46\00:04:56.22
THIS IS MY LAND,
THIS IS MY PEOPLE.
00:04:56.26\00:04:58.86
THERE'S A BUNCH OF WIDOWS THAT
WEREN'T ABLE TO LEAVE AND THE
00:04:58.89\00:05:02.16
POOR AND I'M STAYING TO
MAKE SURE THEY'RE PROTECTED EVEN
00:05:02.20\00:05:04.70
DURING WAR TIME. AND HE HAS NO
NEED TO STAY UNLESS HE HAS THIS
ALMOST GOD-GIVEN GIFT OF BEING
00:05:04.73\00:05:11.51
ATTACHED.
00:05:11.54\00:05:13.01
AND WE HAVE FOUND THAT MOST
MOVEMENTS AROUND THE WORLD START
00:05:13.04\00:05:17.35
WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE
TIED DEEPLY TO LAND.
00:05:17.38\00:05:20.92
THIS IS THE LAND OF MY
ANCESTORS, THIS IS THE LAND
WHERE MY PEOPLE LIVE,
00:05:20.95\00:05:25.12
AND YOU HAVE A DEEP CALLING FOR
YOUR PEOPLE WHATEVER SIZE THAT
00:05:25.15\00:05:30.69
PEOPLE MIGHT BE.
00:05:30.73\00:05:33.23
SO YOU FIND A PERSON LIKE THAT.
00:05:33.26\00:05:34.96
YES.
00:05:35.00\00:05:36.36
AND THEY GET EXCITED ABOUT
SABBATH, JESUS, THE PLAN OF
00:05:36.40\00:05:42.30
SALVATION. HOW DO YOU KEEP FROM
WESTERNIZING THEIR HOME AND
THEIR BELIEFS IN THEIR
00:05:42.34\00:05:48.54
COUNTRY.
00:05:48.58\00:05:49.24
SO THIS IS A GOOD QUESTION.
00:05:49.28\00:05:50.78
FIRST OF ALL YOU LET THE BIBLE
SPEAK FOR ITSELF AND LET THE
00:05:50.81\00:05:55.78
STORIES OF THE
BIBLE SPEAK FOR ITSELF.
00:05:58.65\00:05:59.95
AND SO YOU LET THE
KINGDOM OF GOD COME AND BUILD.
00:06:00.06\00:06:03.16
AND SO MUCH HAS TO DO WITH THE
PERSON WHO BRINGS THE MESSAGE.
00:06:03.19\00:06:08.10
IF HE'S BRINGING A MESSAGE OF
BUILDING GOD'S KINGDOM IN THAT
00:06:08.13\00:06:14.07
COMMUNITY IT LOOKS VERY
DIFFERENT THAN SOMEONE COMING
TRYING TO ESTABLISH A 1960S
00:06:14.10\00:06:18.77
VERSION OF AN ADVENTIST OR
BAPTIST CHURCH WHICH MANY
MISSIONARIES TEND TO DO.
00:06:18.81\00:06:23.24
AND SO IF YOU'RE NOT COMING
TO ESTABLISH PEOPLE TO COME AND
00:06:23.28\00:06:29.48
WORSHIP IN A BUILDING THAT HAS
LITURGY AND HAS ALL KINDS OF
FORMS AND SYSTEMS AND HYMNS, IF
00:06:29.52\00:06:36.39
YOU JUST ESTABLISH WHAT DOES IT
MEAN TO BE A GODLY FAMILY IN MY
00:06:36.42\00:06:41.26
HOME IN MY COUNTRY AND IN MY
PEOPLE IN MY LANGUAGE IT LOOKS
00:06:41.30\00:06:46.60
VERY DIFFERENT. SO THE VERY
FIRST QUESTION IS HOW DOES IT
CHANGE MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY
00:06:46.63\00:06:50.87
FAMILY, MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY
COMMUNITY, MY RELATIONSHIP WITH
00:06:50.91\00:06:56.11
GOD. SO WHAT I SEE IS THE
GOSPEL COMES IN, IT NOW STARTS
00:06:56.14\00:06:59.21
SPEAKING. YOU KNOW I WAS AN
ANGRY PERSON, I WAS CHEATING ON
MY WIFE OR WHATEVER.
00:06:59.25\00:07:03.52
I'VE BEEN IN THESE HOUSE
CHURCHES AND I'VE BEEN
ABSOLUTELY MOVED OF THE
00:07:03.55\00:07:08.52
LEVEL OF OPENNESS.
00:07:08.56\00:07:09.72
STUFF WE WOULD NEVER SHARE
EVEN WITH OUR OWN FAMILIES.
00:07:09.76\00:07:13.86
MANY TIMES YOU'LL SEE THE
HUSBAND SAYING YOU KNOW I'VE
00:07:13.90\00:07:18.00
BEEN STRUGGLING. I'VE BEEN
TRAVELING OUT AND I TURN INTO
THE HOTEL AND IT'S LIKE MOST
00:07:18.03\00:07:22.04
HOTELS AROUND THE WORLD.
00:07:22.07\00:07:22.97
THERE'S ALL KINDS A
WIDE GAMUT OF STUFF.
00:07:23.00\00:07:25.77
I'VE BEEN ON THE ROAD THREE
WEEKS AND I HAVE A TEMPTATION.
00:07:25.81\00:07:29.01
I'M ASKING MY WIFE AND MY KIDS
AND MY FAMILY TO PRAY FOR ME.
00:07:29.04\00:07:32.88
AWESOME.
00:07:32.91\00:07:33.62
AND SO THESE
ARE TYPES OF THINGS.
00:07:33.65\00:07:35.38
WE SEE THE GOSPEL BECOME
VERY VERY REAL IN THESE HOUSE
00:07:35.42\00:07:42.26
CHURCHES. PEOPLE BECOME
VERY OPEN WITH EACH OTHER.
00:07:42.29\00:07:45.03
AND SO YOU DEAL WITH THESE TYPES
OF STUFF AND SO YOU READ THERE
00:07:45.06\00:07:48.80
LET'S SAY A SECTION
OF THE BOOK OF MATTHEW.
00:07:48.83\00:07:50.60
AND SO THE FAMILY NOW START AND
YOU ALWAYS ARE TRYING TO INVITE
00:07:50.63\00:07:54.77
PEOPLE WHO WILL TAKE THIS NOW TO
THEIR HOME AS WELL SO YOU MIGHT
HAVE A NEIGHBOR WHO
00:07:54.80\00:07:59.81
IS INTERESTED OR A COUSIN.
00:07:59.84\00:08:01.38
AND SO THEY'RE NOW BROUGHT
INTO THIS SHARING EXPERIENCE.
00:08:01.41\00:08:04.21
SO DO YOU IN YOUR WORK GET
TO VISIT, ATTEND AND BE PART OF
00:08:04.25\00:08:10.02
SOME OF THESE? I'M
VERY CAREFUL NOT TO.
00:08:10.05\00:08:11.59
WHY.
00:08:11.62\00:08:13.05
BECAUSE I MEAN I DID IN THE
BEGINNING TO TRAIN THE NATIONAL
00:08:13.09\00:08:16.93
LEADERS. BUT MOST OF THE
COUNTRIES I WORK IN ARE VERY
CLOSED COUNTRIES WHERE IT'S A
00:08:16.96\00:08:22.36
BIG QUESTION WHY IS A
FOREIGNER IN THAT COUNTRY.
00:08:22.40\00:08:25.30
WHY IS A
FOREIGNER VISITING HERE.
00:08:25.33\00:08:27.60
SO I'LL VISIT JUST ONE OF LIKE
THE HOME OF THE NATIONAL LEADER
00:08:27.64\00:08:32.21
AND STUFF JUST FOR
PROTECTION REASONS.
00:08:32.24\00:08:33.78
BUT WE TRUST THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:08:33.81\00:08:36.14
SO WHAT DO YOU
DO ON SABBATH THEN?
00:08:36.18\00:08:39.35
I ACTUALLY GO TO A CHURCH, BIG
CHURCH IN COLLEGEDALE AREA BUT
00:08:39.38\00:08:45.92
WHEN I TRAVEL
I'M SUPPORTING THIS.
00:08:45.95\00:08:47.32
YOU'RE SUPPORTING THE LOCAL BUT
YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY ATTENDING IN
00:08:47.36\00:08:50.53
THOSE LOCAL HOUSE CHURCHES.
00:08:50.56\00:08:51.89
I'M NOT ATTENDING
IN THOSE LOCAL ONES.
00:08:51.93\00:08:54.36
JUST FOR SECURITY ISSUES BECAUSE
THE ONES WE DO ARE IN BASICALLY
00:08:54.36\00:08:59.07
CLOSED COUNTRIES.
00:08:59.10\00:08:59.73
YES.
00:08:59.77\00:09:01.24
SO YOU'RE NOT ATTENDING BUT YOU
ARE ACTIVELY TRAINING THOSE WHO
00:09:01.27\00:09:06.47
ARE TRAINING THE
LEADERS OF THE HOUSE CHURCHES.
00:09:06.51\00:09:08.91
YES.
00:09:08.94\00:09:09.44
WHEN DO YOU DO THAT?
00:09:09.48\00:09:13.38
I'VE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THIS FOR
ABOUT 15 YEARS AND SO THE LEVEL
00:09:13.42\00:09:19.69
OF WHAT I DO NOW IS HELP MENTOR
BIG LEADERS OF LARGE HOUSE
00:09:19.72\00:09:26.19
CHURCH NETWORKS. LARGE HOUSE
CHURCH CONGLOMERATES, NETWORKS.
00:09:26.23\00:09:28.93
OKAY.
00:09:28.96\00:09:30.50
NETWORKS OF HOUSE CHURCHES AND
SO I BASICALLY WORK WITH THEM
00:09:30.53\00:09:34.97
AND THEY HAVE GROWN
IN THEIR SOCIAL NETWORKS.
00:09:35.00\00:09:37.97
SO MANY OF THE PEOPLE I
WORK WITH HAVE INFLUENCE ON BIG
00:09:38.01\00:09:43.04
REGIONAL OR NATIONAL LEVELS
OUTSIDE OF THEIR HOUSE CHURCH.
00:09:47.12\00:09:49.72
FOR EXAMPLE HERE ABOUT 18 MONTHS
AGO I HAD A CALL FROM A FRIEND
00:09:49.75\00:09:56.12
OF MINE WHO RUNS A MASSIVE HOUSE
CHURCH MOVEMENT BUT HE ALSO
00:09:56.16\00:10:01.80
PLAYS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT ROLE
IN HIS AREA WHERE HE LIVES AND
HIS GEOGRAPHIC AREA THAT
00:10:01.83\00:10:06.90
HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR WAS
INVADE BY A NEIGHBORING TRIBE.
00:10:08.90\00:10:13.98
OKAY.
00:10:16.75\00:10:18.15
AND THEY ATTACKED THE LET'S
SAY THE CAPITAL OF THEIR TRIBAL
00:10:18.18\00:10:22.48
ANCESTRAL LAND AND THERE
HAD BEEN MAJOR PILLAGING, MAJOR
00:10:24.99\00:10:30.73
THEFT. ONE HUNDRED FIFTY SEVEN
SUVS HAD BEEN STOLEN AND TAKEN
00:10:30.76\00:10:37.03
AND MAYBE ABOUT EIGHT TO 10
THOUSAND ACRES WERE ANNEXED OF
THE NATIONAL LEADER THAT I
00:10:37.07\00:10:41.44
WORK WITH.
00:10:41.47\00:10:42.90
AND HE SAID I HAVE 50 SUB TRIBAL
LEADERS IN MY HOME WAITING JUST
00:10:42.94\00:10:47.21
FOR THE COMMAND.
00:10:50.25\00:10:51.75
THEY'RE PRESSURING ME VERY HARD
THAT WE--AND HE HAS THE JUDICIAL
00:10:51.78\00:10:56.38
AUTHORITY TO RAISE A MILITIA
AND TO DO A COUNTER ATTACK.
00:10:56.42\00:11:00.66
AND HE SAID WHAT DO I DO MARTY?
00:11:00.69\00:11:06.16
I HAD BEEN SITTING IN CHURCH AND
I STEPPED OUT OF CHURCH AND FOR
00:11:06.19\00:11:10.27
THE NEXT TWO HOURS
WE DISCUSSED WHAT TO DO.
00:11:10.30\00:11:13.17
AND HE WOULD BE SEEN AS A COWARD
PROBABLY IF HE DIDN'T ATTACK.
00:11:13.20\00:11:19.37
WHAT DOES HE DO
IN THIS SITUATION.
00:11:19.41\00:11:22.68
HE HAS ALL THESE MEN SAYING, HE
HAS GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVES
00:11:22.71\00:11:26.48
TELLING HIM YOU
HAVE FULL AUTHORITY.
00:11:26.51\00:11:28.25
WE WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH
ALL THE WEAPONS YOU NEED.
00:11:28.28\00:11:31.75
GO GET 'EM.
00:11:31.79\00:11:32.42
GO GET 'EM.
00:11:32.45\00:11:33.96
SO FOR THE NEXT TWO HOURS WHILE
HE HAD 50 PEOPLE WAITING IN HIS
00:11:33.99\00:11:37.69
LIVING ROOM FOR A
COMMAND WHAT DO WE DO.
00:11:37.73\00:11:43.50
DO WE RAISE OUR
ARMY OR DO WE NOT.
00:11:43.53\00:11:45.67
AND TWO HOURS LATER AFTER
TALKING ABOUT WHAT JESUS WOULD
DO HE WENT WITH HIS
00:11:45.70\00:11:52.57
SHOULDERS BACK AND SAID
GENTLEMEN DO WE WANT TO CONTINUE
00:11:52.61\00:11:58.41
A BACK AND FORTH OF REVENGE
AND KILLING AND MORE KILLING.
00:11:58.45\00:12:01.65
AND HE TALKED ABOUT HOW THEIR
GREAT ANCESTOR HAD DEALT WITH
00:12:01.68\00:12:06.99
ISSUES. AND SO HIS GREAT GREAT
GRANDFATHER--THEIR COUNTRY HAD
BEEN INVADED BY THE
00:12:07.02\00:12:11.76
OTTOMAN ARMY AND THEIR
GRANDFATHER WAS A MAN OF PEACE
AND HE SAID GOD WILL
00:12:11.79\00:12:16.83
PROTECT US AND SO THEY SAID WE
WILL LINE UP AS AN ARMY AND THEN
00:12:20.87\00:12:27.18
WE WILL RETREAT INTO THE FOREST
AND THEN WE WILL WAIT TO SEE
GOD'S MIGHTY POWER.
00:12:27.21\00:12:32.21
AND SO THEY DID AND
THEY RETREATED IN THE FOREST.
00:12:32.25\00:12:35.78
THEY WERE VISIBLE AS AN ARMY?
00:12:35.82\00:12:37.25
THEY WERE VISIBLE AS AN ARMY.
00:12:37.29\00:12:38.59
THEY RETREATED INTO THE FOREST.
00:12:38.62\00:12:40.02
THE OTTOMANS CHASED THEM INTO
THE FOREST AND THEN HE KNELT
00:12:40.06\00:12:45.26
DOWN AND PRAYED IN FRONT OF ALL
HIS PEOPLE AND THE HORNETS CAME
00:12:45.29\00:12:49.16
PAST THEM. THOUSANDS AND
MILLIONS OF HORNETS AND STUNG UP
ALL THE SOLDIERS THAT HAD
00:12:49.20\00:12:55.90
CHASED THEM IN AND THEY LEFT.
00:12:55.94\00:12:58.51
AND THEY WERE SO BADLY HURT BY
THE HORNETS THAT THEY PICKED UP
00:12:58.54\00:13:02.51
AND LEFT OUT OF
THEIR TRIBAL HOMELAND.
00:13:02.54\00:13:04.95
AND THIS IS A BIG AREA.
00:13:04.98\00:13:06.11
LOVE IT.
00:13:06.15\00:13:07.55
SO HE REMINDED THEM OF THIS
STORY OF HOW GOD HAD PROTECTED
00:13:07.58\00:13:11.89
THEM IN THE PAST.
00:13:11.92\00:13:13.39
THAT HE WAS EVEN WILLING, SINCE
ABOUT MAYBE 8 TO 10 THOUSAND OF
00:13:13.42\00:13:17.79
HIS OWN LAND HAD BEEN ANNEXED,
HE WAS WILLING TO GIVE THAT UP.
00:13:17.83\00:13:20.70
BUT HE DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT
THEY SHOULD GO ON A RAMPAGE.
00:13:20.73\00:13:24.00
THEY WERE PROBABLY BETTER
PREPARED STRONGER THAN THE OTHER
GROUP AND COULD HAVE
00:13:24.03\00:13:30.11
PROBABLY RETALIATED WITHOUT
MUCH LOSS OF LIFE BUT THEY ALL
00:13:30.14\00:13:36.31
LISTENED TO HIM AND AFTER ABOUT
AN HOUR OF SPEAKING WITH THEM
THEY PICKED UP THEIR BAGS
00:13:36.34\00:13:40.85
WENT BACK TO THEIR
VEHICLES AND RETURNED HOME.
00:13:40.88\00:13:43.99
AND DUE TO THAT WITHIN A FEW
MONTHS HE WAS ELECTED AT
NATIONAL LEVEL TO BE
00:13:44.02\00:13:50.19
THE PEACE NEGOTIATOR BETWEEN
ALL THE TRIBES IN THEIR NATION.
00:13:50.23\00:13:54.13
OH MY.
00:13:54.20\00:13:56.10
SO THESE ARE TYPES OF THINGS.
00:13:56.13\00:13:57.80
NOW THAT ISN'T SOMETHING THAT
HAPPENS ON AN EVERY DAY BASIS
00:13:57.83\00:14:01.17
BUT IT DOES HAPPEN.
00:14:01.20\00:14:01.84
IT DOES HAPPEN.
00:14:01.87\00:14:03.10
AND SO THE PEOPLE I WORK WITH
HAVE BIG ISSUES TO DEAL WITH.
00:14:03.14\00:14:06.17
AND THAT'S LIKE A BIG BIG ISSUE.
00:14:06.21\00:14:07.71
BUT I DEAL WITH THEM HOW DO
YOU BE A DISCIPLE OF CHRIST IN
00:14:07.74\00:14:12.68
WHATEVER WALK OF LIFE
THAT GOD HAS PUT YOU IN.
00:14:12.71\00:14:15.08
OKAY HOLD ON FOR JUST A SECOND.
00:14:15.12\00:14:17.82
YOU'VE HEARD THE CONVERSATION.
00:14:17.85\00:14:20.29
THE KEY TO WHAT YOU DO MARTY IS
THAT IT'S NOT YOU THAT'S DOING
00:14:20.32\00:14:25.73
THE CONTACT MOST OF THE TIME
IT'S YOU TO ANOTHER WHO IS A
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER, VERY
00:14:25.76\00:14:31.67
LIKELY EMPLOYED BY GOSPEL
OUTREACH TO BE A LEADER, A
TEACHER WHO TRAINS OTHERS
00:14:31.70\00:14:36.37
WHO TRAINS OTHERS
WHO TRAINS OTHERS.
00:14:36.40\00:14:39.17
FOR VERY LITTLE MONEY YOU CAN
SPONSOR ONE OF THOSE TEACHERS, A
00:14:39.21\00:14:45.31
GOSPEL OUTREACH TEACHER IN
A COUNTRY LIKE MARTY HAS BEEN
00:14:45.35\00:14:48.58
DESCRIBING. LISTEN TO THIS.
00:14:48.62\00:14:50.65
GOSPEL OUTREACH BEGAN A MISSION
TWENTY YEARS AGO BY ASKING ONE
00:14:52.42\00:14:56.56
SIMPLE QUESTION.
00:14:56.59\00:14:57.79
WHAT IS JESUS WAITING FOR?
00:14:57.83\00:14:59.19
IN A WORLD FILLED WITH FAMINE,
HUNGER AND STARVATION, WHAT IS
00:14:59.23\00:15:03.23
JESUS WAITING FOR?
00:15:03.26\00:15:04.73
IN A WORLD FILLED WITH
EARTHQUAKES, HURRICANES AND
NATURAL CALAMITIES,
00:15:04.77\00:15:05.90
WHAT IS JESUS WAITING FOR?
00:15:05.93\00:15:07.37
THE GOSPEL TELLS US IN MATTHEW
24:14 "AND THIS GOSPEL OF THE
00:15:07.40\00:15:08.87
KINGDOM SHALL BE PREACHED IN ALL
THE WORLD FOR A WITNESS UNTO ALL
00:15:08.90\00:15:10.57
NATIONS AND THEN
SHALL THE END COME."
00:15:10.61\00:15:15.64
INSPIRED BY THOSE WORDS GOSPEL
OUTREACH BEGAN WITH ONE WORKER
00:15:26.09\00:15:30.83
AND OVER THE PAST TWENTY YEARS
HAS GROWN INTO AN ORGANIZATION
WITH TWENTY-TWO HUNDRED
00:15:30.86\00:15:35.30
WORKERS IN FORTY PLUS COUNTRIES.
00:15:35.33\00:15:37.43
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS AN
INDEPENDENT SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST LAY MINISTRY RUN
00:15:37.47\00:15:41.44
ENTIRELY BY VOLUNTEERS.
00:15:41.47\00:15:42.94
YES, YOU HEARD THAT CORRECT.
00:15:42.97\00:15:45.44
IT'S AN ALL
VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION.
00:15:45.47\00:15:47.91
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKS WITH
THE ORGANIZED CHURCH TO SPONSOR
00:15:47.94\00:15:52.45
BIBLE WORKERS IN
UNREACHED TERRITORIES.
00:15:52.48\00:15:54.02
NOW YOU MIGHT ASK DOESN'T
THIS TAKE AWAY FROM THE WORK THE
00:15:54.05\00:15:59.05
CHURCH IS ALREADY
DOING WITH OVERSEAS MISSIONS?
00:15:59.09\00:16:01.59
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
00:16:01.62\00:16:03.12
DIRECT SPONSORSHIP IS
JUST A PART OF THE EQUATION.
00:16:03.16\00:16:06.70
JUST AS LARGE A PART IS STAYING
INVOLVED IN THE WORK THE CHURCH
00:16:06.73\00:16:10.40
IS DOING THROUGH
MISSIONS OFFERING.
00:16:10.43\00:16:11.90
GOSPEL OUTREACH'S MAIN DESIRE
IS TO RAISE FUNDS WHICH ARE SENT
00:16:11.93\00:16:16.20
DIRECTLY TO THE CHURCH TO PAY
BIBLE WORKERS WHO HELP SPREAD
THE GOSPEL IN THE 10/40
00:16:16.24\00:16:20.08
WINDOW.
00:16:20.11\00:16:21.78
NOW WHAT EXACTLY
IS THE 10/40 WINDOW?
00:16:21.81\00:16:25.11
THE 10/40 WINDOW IS A REGION OF
THE EASTERN HEMISPHERE LOCATED
00:16:25.15\00:16:29.12
BETWEEN 10 AND 40
DEGREES NORTH OF THE EQUATOR.
00:16:29.15\00:16:31.49
WHAT MAKES THIS REGION SPECIAL?
00:16:31.52\00:16:34.96
NINETY-SEVEN PERCENT OF ALL THE
PEOPLE IN WORLD WHO HAVE NEVER
00:16:34.99\00:16:38.59
HEARD THE NAME
OF JESUS LIVE HERE.
00:16:38.63\00:16:41.06
NOW HOW EXACTLY DOES GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORK TO REACH THESE
00:16:41.10\00:16:46.03
PEOPLE? WE DO THIS BY WORKING
WITH THE CHURCH AS IT PLACES
TRAINED INDIGENOUS WORKERS
00:16:46.07\00:16:49.90
IN NEW TERRITORIES, SENDING
OUT DISCIPLES JUST AS JESUS DID.
00:16:49.94\00:16:54.91
WE SPONSOR BIBLE
WORKERS LIKE PRABIR RUBEN.
00:16:54.94\00:16:57.65
PRABIR IS FROM INDIA AND WITH
THE HELP OF OUR SPONSORSHIP HIS
00:16:57.68\00:17:01.52
CHURCH CONFERENCE HAS SENT HIM
TO THIS SMALL VILLAGE OF MARUAH
00:17:01.55\00:17:05.25
TO SHARE THE GOSPEL.
00:17:05.29\00:17:06.79
THESE INDIVIDUALS HAD NEVER
HEARD THE NAME OF JESUS AND
00:17:06.82\00:17:10.09
THEIR LIVES HAVE
BEEN CHANGED FOREVER.
00:17:10.13\00:17:11.56
IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS
THERE HAVE BEEN NINE ADDITIONAL
00:17:11.59\00:17:16.00
BAPTISMS DUE TO
THE WORK OF PRABIR.
00:17:16.03\00:17:17.70
UNTIL A FEW MONTHS AGO THE LOCAL
MEMBERS OF THIS CHURCH HAD BEEN
00:17:17.73\00:17:20.90
WORSHIPPING IN A HOUSE CHURCH.
00:17:20.94\00:17:23.10
RECENTLY A NEW MEMBER NAMED
ARISMA GAVE HIS LIFE TO GOD AND
00:17:23.14\00:17:27.48
DONATED A PIECE OF HIS
OWN LAND TO THE CHURCH.
00:17:27.51\00:17:29.68
ON IT A NEW TIN
CHURCH HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED.
00:17:29.71\00:17:33.52
IT STILL NEEDS SOME WORK BUT
GOD'S CHURCH CONTINUES TO GROW
00:17:33.55\00:17:37.62
HERE IN INDIA. WHEN A BIBLE
WORKER SPONSORED BY GOSPEL
OUTREACH ENTERS A NEW
00:17:37.65\00:17:41.86
VILLAGE IT'S ESTIMATED THAT IN
THE FIRST YEAR AN ADDITIONAL 300
00:17:41.89\00:17:46.93
INDIVIDUALS WILL BE BAPTIZED AND
COMMIT THEIR LIVES TO CHRIST.
00:17:51.07\00:17:52.63
INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE NEVER HEARD
THE AMAZING STORY OF GOD'S LOVE
00:17:52.67\00:17:55.10
ARE GETTING TO MEET
JESUS FOR THE FIRST TIME.
00:17:55.14\00:17:59.17
NOW HOW CAN YOU HELP?
00:17:59.21\00:18:03.51
BIBLE WORKERS LIKE PRABIR RELY
ON SPONSORSHIPS TO SUPPORT THEM
00:18:03.55\00:18:07.15
AND THEIR FAMILIES AS THEY SHARE
THE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE OF GOD.
00:18:07.18\00:18:10.89
THIS IS WHY GOSPEL OUTREACH IS
INTRODUCING OUR ADOPT A WORKER
00:18:10.92\00:18:15.59
PROGRAM.
00:18:15.62\00:18:17.06
TOGETHER WITH THE CHURCH WE
IDENTIFY NEW WORKERS IN AREAS
00:18:17.09\00:18:20.43
THAT NEED TO BE REACHED.
00:18:20.46\00:18:21.90
WE HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED A
REQUEST FROM PASTOR RON WATTS,
00:18:21.93\00:18:26.07
RETIRED SOUTHERN ASIA DIVISION
PRESIDENT, FOR 10 THOUSAND NEW
BIBLE WORKERS IN INDIA ALONE.
00:18:26.10\00:18:32.11
THE NEED IN THE REST OF ASIA AND
AFRICA IS JUST AS LARGE WHERE
00:18:32.14\00:18:35.98
PEOPLE ARE HUNGRY
TO HEAR GOD'S WORD.
00:18:36.01\00:18:38.81
THAT IS WHY IT'S OUR GOAL TO
INTRODUCE A MILLION NEW PEOPLE
00:18:38.85\00:18:42.68
TO JESUS IN THE
NEXT THREE YEARS.
00:18:42.72\00:18:44.42
ALL THAT IS REMAINING FOR THIS
WORK TO BEGIN IS YOUR FINANCIAL
00:18:44.45\00:18:49.46
HELP. THE AVERAGE COST OF
A BIBLE WORKER IS ONE HUNDRED
00:18:49.49\00:18:52.69
FIFTY DOLLARS A MONTH.
00:18:52.73\00:18:54.13
FOR SOME THAT'S TOO MUCH
TO SPONSOR ON THEIR OWN BUT
00:18:54.20\00:18:57.57
TOGETHER WITH YOUR CHURCH,
SABBATH SCHOOL GROUP OR SCHOOL
YOU CAN TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE
00:18:57.60\00:19:01.74
WORK BEING DONE AND SPONSOR
A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER FOR A

NOW THAT YOU KNOW ABOUT OUR
ADOPT A WORKER PROGRAM THERE ARE
00:19:15.52\00:19:19.05

SO NOW THAT YOU KNOW A BIT ABOUT
GOSPEL OUTREACH AND NOW THAT YOU
00:19:39.87\00:19:43.48
KNOW WHAT JESUS IS WAITING FOR
THE FINAL QUESTION IS WHAT ARE
00:19:43.51\00:19:48.58
YOU WAITING FOR. SO
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
00:19:54.89\00:19:57.33
I KNOW, THE END OF THIS PROGRAM
AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO
00:19:57.36\00:19:59.49
YOUR CHECK BOOK AND YOU'RE GOING
TO START THE 150 DOLLARS A MONTH
00:19:59.53\00:20:03.26
RIGHT? IF YOU CAN'T COME UP WITH
THAT 150 GET A COUPLE OF YOUR
FRIENDS TOGETHER IN
00:20:03.30\00:20:08.84
YOUR LIVING ROOM.
00:20:08.87\00:20:10.37
PRAY THAT GOD WILL SOMEHOW
EXPAND YOUR RESOURCES SO THAT
YOU CAN REALLY START
00:20:10.41\00:20:15.18
SUPPORTING SOME OF THE EMPLOYEES
THAT ARE OUT THERE TOUCHING
00:20:15.21\00:20:21.05
LIVES EVERY DAY.
00:20:21.08\00:20:22.28
HOW MANY MORE
EMPLOYEES DO YOU NEED?
00:20:22.32\00:20:24.89
WE NEED NO LESS THAN 300,
350, 360 WOULD BE MUCH BETTER.
00:20:24.92\00:20:29.89
REALLY.
00:20:29.92\00:20:30.63
THAT YOU COULD USE RIGHT NOW?
00:20:30.66\00:20:32.83
I COULD USE RIGHT
THIS INSTANT, TOMORROW.
00:20:32.86\00:20:35.70
AND WHERE WOULD THEY GO?
00:20:35.73\00:20:37.93
THEY WOULD GO ACROSS
MANY DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.
00:20:37.97\00:20:40.97
WE'VE JUST HAD SO
MANY OPPORTUNITIES.
00:20:41.00\00:20:43.41
THERE ARE SO MANY
GROUPS SAYING HELP, HELP.
00:20:43.44\00:20:47.41
COME TRAIN US,
TEACH US, COME TEACH US.
00:20:47.44\00:20:50.58
AND SO WE HAVE SO MANY OF THESE
CALLS COME OVER TO MACEDONIA TO
00:20:50.61\00:20:55.12
TEACH US. I'LL JUST SHARE
SOME GLIMPSES OF SOME OF THESE.
00:20:55.15\00:20:58.59
PLEASE, PLEASE.
00:20:58.62\00:21:00.16
FOR EXAMPLE IN ONE COUNTRY ONE
QUITE CLOSED COUNTRY WE FOUND A
00:21:00.19\00:21:04.26
VERY LARGE GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO
HAVE BEEN KEEPING TO A CERTAIN
DEGREE THE SABBATH FOR A
00:21:04.29\00:21:09.80
VERY LONG TIME.
00:21:09.83\00:21:11.27
AND THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND
IT QUITE AS DEEPLY AS WE DO BUT
00:21:11.30\00:21:16.00
THEY REFRAIN FROM MAJOR WORK,
FROM MAJOR TRAVEL, FROM MAJOR
PURCHASES AND IT'S A DAY
00:21:19.97\00:21:25.98
THAT THEY SHOULD JUST
KEEP AS A DAY OF REST.
00:21:26.01\00:21:28.85
THEY MIGHT GO DOWN AND BUY A
DRINK OR SOMETHING BUT THE MAIN
00:21:28.88\00:21:34.52
FOCUS OF THE SABBATH
IS A DAY OF REST FOR THEM.
00:21:34.56\00:21:35.86
AND THIS IS VERY DIFFERENT
FROM THE OTHER DAYS OF THE WEEK.
00:21:35.89\00:21:38.09
VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER
DAYS OF THE WEEK AND THEY KNOW
00:21:38.13\00:21:41.66
IT'S GOD'S DAY OF REST.
00:21:41.70\00:21:43.10
IT'S NOT A DAY THEY REALLY
WORSHIP ON BUT IT'S JUST A DAY
00:21:43.13\00:21:46.13
THEY KEEP. IT'S HOLY.
00:21:46.17\00:21:46.80
IT'S A HOLY DAY.
00:21:46.84\00:21:47.67
IT'S A DAY SET APART.
00:21:47.70\00:21:49.64
AND SO WE HAVE STARTED WORKING
AND WE ONLY HAVE LIKE ONE WORKER
00:21:49.67\00:21:53.84
WORKING IN THIS GROUP AND
THE GROUP IS SPREAD ACROSS THE
00:21:53.88\00:21:57.25
COUNTRY. THERE'S MAYBE ABOUT 10
MILLION OF THESE PEOPLE AND WE
00:21:57.28\00:21:59.38
ALREADY HAVE MAYBE ABOUT 400
HOUSE CHURCHES THAT HAVE EMERGED
FROM THIS SABBATH-KEEPING
00:21:59.41\00:22:01.45
GROUP.
00:22:01.48\00:22:02.95
IT SO HAPPENED BEFORE HE BECAME
AN ADVENTIST FOLLOWER OF CHRIST
00:22:02.98\00:22:04.05
HIS DAD WAS THE EQUIVALENT
TO LIKE A CONFERENCE PRESIDENT.
00:22:04.09\00:22:05.19
AND IT'S KIND OF HEREDITARY
IN THEIR ORGANIZATION.
00:22:05.22\00:22:06.59
AND HIS FATHER HAS BASICALLY
ALREADY PASSED HIM THE MANTEL OF
00:22:06.62\00:22:08.79
BEING THE ORGANIZER THE
LEADER OF ONE SECTION OF THIS.
00:22:08.82\00:22:10.36
HE'S LIKE A CONFERENCE PRESIDENT
BUT THERE'S LIKE 10 MILLION OF
00:22:10.39\00:22:15.20
THESE PEOPLE AND HE HAS ALSO
BECOME A POPULAR PREACHER ACROSS
THIS SECTION AND THEY ARE
00:22:19.43\00:22:24.51
JUST BEGGING HIM BECAUSE HE GOES
AROUND AND ASKS THEM DO YOU KNOW
00:22:31.88\00:22:35.22
WHY WE'VE BEEN KEEPING SABBATH.
00:22:35.25\00:22:37.15
WE'VE KEPT THIS AS A TRADITION
BUT THEY NEVER KNEW ALL THE
00:22:37.19\00:22:42.22
DEPTHS OF WHY.
00:22:46.13\00:22:47.56
THEY KNEW THAT ONE OF THEIR
LEADERS MAYBE 400 YEARS AGO SAID
00:22:47.60\00:22:51.83
WE SHOULD BE KEEPING SABBATH
AND THEY'VE BEEN KEEPING SABBATH
00:22:54.67\00:22:57.47
BECAUSE THE LEADER SAID SO.
00:22:57.51\00:22:58.84
AND YOU NEED 100 PEOPLE TO GO
IN AND BE TRAINERS WORKING WITH
00:22:58.87\00:23:04.28
HIM. EXACTLY.
00:23:04.31\00:23:05.28
WE HAVE PEOPLE READY.
00:23:05.31\00:23:06.82
IT TAKES TIME, IT TAKES
RESOURCES AND IF WE HAD WORKERS
00:23:06.85\00:23:12.52
WHO COULD COME WE
COULD JUST WORK ALL ACROSS.
00:23:12.55\00:23:14.46
HE IS SO WELL RESPECTED HE COULD
SEND ALL ACROSS ALL THE
DIFFERENT EQUIVALENT
00:23:14.49\00:23:19.86
TO CONFERENCES TO JUST GO
TRAIN ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
00:23:19.89\00:23:23.43
AND THAT'S JUST AN
OPEN THING RIGHT NOW.
00:23:23.47\00:23:26.63
IT'S JUST GROWING QUICKLY BUT
WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE PEOPLE OR
00:23:26.67\00:23:31.47
THE RESOURCES AND THIS COULD
JUST ADD A WHOLE LOT, A MASSIVE
00:23:31.51\00:23:35.18
BOOST. AND FOR 150 DOLLARS A
WORKER THERE IS A GOSPEL
OUTREACH SPONSORED WORKER
00:23:35.21\00:23:39.38
GOING TO BE HELPING REACH THE
PEOPLE WHO FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS
00:23:39.41\00:23:44.89
HAVE BEEN KEEPING THE SABBATH
AND SUDDENLY UNDERSTAND IT'S
PART OF THE PLAN OF
00:23:44.92\00:23:48.52
SALVATION.
00:23:48.56\00:23:49.36
EXACTLY.
00:23:49.39\00:23:50.76
AND SO WE'VE FOUND WHAT HAPPENS
IS, BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE HAVEN'T
00:23:50.79\00:23:54.46
BEEN ACCUSTOMED TO USING
THE BIBLE NOW THEY SEE THAT THE
00:23:54.46\00:23:59.27
BIBLE EXPLAINS WHY THEY HAVE
BEEN KEEPING THE SABBATH AND
THEY BECOME ALL EXCITED.
00:23:59.30\00:24:02.14
NOW THEY'RE MORE OPEN.
00:24:02.17\00:24:03.71
WHAT ELSE DOES
THE BIBLE TELL US.
00:24:03.74\00:24:05.91
SO NOW TO LEAD THEM TO THE PLAN
OF SALVATION IN JESUS IT JUST
00:24:05.94\00:24:10.01
BECOMES A LITTLE STEP.
00:24:10.05\00:24:11.18
IT'S NOT A BIG THING BECAUSE
THEY HAVE HAD THE SABBATH.
00:24:11.21\00:24:13.28
AND THEY'RE ASKING RATHER THAN
BEING TERRIFIED THAT SOMETHING
00:24:13.31\00:24:16.82
IS GOING TO GO
WRONG IF THEY DON'T.
00:24:16.85\00:24:17.99
EXACTLY.
00:24:18.02\00:24:18.85
THEY'RE SAYING
HOW CAN WE GET DEEPER.
00:24:18.89\00:24:21.09
EXACTLY AND
WE'VE SEEN THIS HAPPEN.
00:24:21.12\00:24:22.86
IT'S JUST A MASSIVE OPPORTUNITY
TO WORK IN THIS AREA.
00:24:22.89\00:24:26.03
NOW THAT'S ONE.
00:24:26.06\00:24:26.96
THERE ARE OTHERS LIKE THAT?
00:24:27.00\00:24:28.16
THERE ARE OTHERS LIKE THAT.
00:24:28.20\00:24:29.86
NOW WHAT WE HAVE FOUND IS,
YOU'RE DESCRIBING A PICTURE OF
00:24:29.90\00:24:35.94
THE WORLD THAT MOST PEOPLE
HAVE PROBABLY NEVER HEARD.
00:24:35.97\00:24:37.31
WELL IT HAS BECOME A PASSION OF
OURS TO SEE WHERE GOD IS WORKING
00:24:37.34\00:24:44.08
ALREADY.
00:24:44.11\00:24:44.85
AND THIS IS WHAT
ELLEN WHITE SAID.
00:24:44.88\00:24:46.45
I REALLY STUDIED A LOT OF HOW
SHE GAVE METHODS OF EVANGELISM.
00:24:46.48\00:24:51.85
SHE SAYS WORK WHERE GOD IS
ALREADY WORKING AND YOU'LL HAVE
TEN TIMES THE RESULT.
00:24:51.89\00:24:56.93
AND SO IF YOU FIND WHERE GOD HAS
ALREADY PREPARED AND I SEE THAT
00:24:56.96\00:25:02.06
SABBATH IS SOMETHING THAT HE HAS
PREPARED AND I'VE FOUND THAT, AS
00:25:02.10\00:25:05.40
I THINK I WAS MENTIONING TO YOU
YESTERDAY, THERE ARE THESE
LITTLE POCKETS AND SOME OF
00:25:05.43\00:25:08.50
THEM ARE NOT SO LITTLE.
00:25:08.54\00:25:09.47
THIS IS LIKE THE
LARGEST GROUP I HAVE FOUND.
00:25:09.50\00:25:12.21
BUT I HAVE FOUND ALL OVER THE
WORLD GROUPS OF THESE SABBATH
00:25:12.24\00:25:16.68
KEEPERS. SOMEONE WAS JUST
TELLING ME YESTERDAY IN A CLOSED
COUNTRY THEY HAD HEARD OF
00:25:16.71\00:25:22.08
A SABBATH KEEPING GROUP AND IT'S
LIKE IF WE HAD FUNDS WE'D JUST
00:25:22.12\00:25:26.25
NEED TO GO FIND THOSE BECAUSE WE
HAVE FOUND WHEN WE FIND A
SABBATH GROUP EVEN OUTSIDE
00:25:26.29\00:25:30.23
OF CHRISTIANITY, THAT SABBATH
KEEPING GROUPS ARE SO MUCH MORE
00:25:30.26\00:25:34.46
RECEPTIVE TO TAKE A FEW MORE
STEPS TO UNDERSTAND THE GREAT
00:25:34.46\00:25:37.47
PLAN OF SALVATION. AND WHY NOT
WORK WITH SOMEBODY THAT YOU KNOW
IS GOING TO BE RECEPTIVE
00:25:37.50\00:25:40.34
BECAUSE OF WHERE
THEY'RE ALREADY AT.
00:25:40.37\00:25:41.70
EXACTLY.
00:25:41.74\00:25:42.70
SO YOU NEED 300.
00:25:42.74\00:25:44.31
I NEED AT LEAST 300.
00:25:44.34\00:25:46.34
WE HAVE OTHER GROUPS.
00:25:46.37\00:25:47.94
THERE WAS A BUNCH OF HOUSE
CHURCH MOVEMENTS THAT HAD BEEN
00:25:47.98\00:25:52.51
SPONSORED. THESE ARE LIKE
UNDERGROUND HOUSE CHURCH
MOVEMENTS IN COMMUNITIES OF
00:25:52.55\00:25:55.65
CLOSED COMMUNITIES AND THERE HAD
BEEN MANY DENOMINATIONS WORKING
00:25:55.68\00:25:59.12
AMONG THEM. ABOUT MAYBE BETWEEN
FIVE AND TEN YEARS AGO A LOT OF
DENOMINATIONS THAT HAD
00:25:59.15\00:26:01.19
BEEN INVOLVED THEY PULLED AWAY.
00:26:01.22\00:26:02.49
JUST PULLED AWAY.
00:26:02.52\00:26:03.93
AND THAT'S BECAUSE THEY SUDDENLY
WERE AFRAID OF WHAT MIGHT
00:26:03.96\00:26:06.56
HAPPEN, GOVERNMENT LAWS.
00:26:06.59\00:26:07.23
EXACTLY.
00:26:07.23\00:26:08.20
AND SO THEY GOT
SCARED, SOMETHING HAPPENED.
00:26:08.23\00:26:09.83
THERE WAS A THING
BETWEEN SECURITY AND CHRISTIAN
00:26:09.86\00:26:13.60
FUNDAMENTALISM. BUT ALL OF THEM
ARE SAYING, A WHOLE BUNCH OF
THEM ARE SAYING PLEASE.
00:26:13.64\00:26:18.71
THEY'RE SAYING
WOULD YOU COME TRAIN US.
00:26:27.65\00:26:29.45
WOULD YOU BE WITH US.
00:26:29.48\00:26:30.85
AND AS WE HAVE DONE THIS TIME
AND TIME AGAIN WE WILL SEE WHOLE
00:26:30.89\00:26:33.86
GROUPS BECOME SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTISTS IN THE PROCESS.
00:26:33.89\00:26:36.09
YOU'VE LISTENED TO MARTY AND
YOU'VE ALSO HEARD THE 150 DOLLAR
00:26:36.12\00:26:41.16
ADOPT A WORKER VIDEO.
00:26:44.37\00:26:45.90
PLEASE TAKE SOME
TIME ON YOUR KNEES.
00:26:45.93\00:26:48.54
THINK ABOUT WHAT
WE'VE SAID TODAY.
00:26:48.57\00:26:49.87
PLAY THIS TAPE AGAIN AND AGAIN.
00:26:49.90\00:26:52.31
THINK ABOUT IT.
00:26:52.34\00:26:53.81
BECOME ONE OF OUR SPECIAL
ENVOYS AND LET'S GET TO THOSE 10
00:26:53.84\00:26:58.88
MILLION PEOPLE. THANKS FOR
JOINING US ON GOSPEL OUTREACH.
