01:08 BECAUSE AS I SEE THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS DOING SO MUCH WORK THAT I 01:11 FEEL LIKE JESUS IS COMING SOON. 01:13 THAT'S WHY I SAY IT IS THE GREATEST PLACE TO BE WHEN WE SEE THIS HAPPENING. 01:16 ABSOLUTELY WELL BEV THOMPSON YOU ARE ONE OF THE REGIONAL DIRECTORS 01:19 HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH AND WE ARE GOING TO BE TALKING HERE DURING THIS 01:22 PROGRAM ABOUT A PLACE WHERE? 01:25 RIGHT BELOW NEPAL ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF NEPAL THERE IS A STATE CALLED 01:31 BIHAR. 01:32 BIHAR AND YOU TRAVEL THERE AND YOU CHECK IN WITH YOU GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS 01:36 AND HOW MANY WORKERS DO YOU HAVE IN THAT AREA? 01:39 I BELIEVE IT IS TWENTY WORKERS THERE. 01:41 TWENTY WORKERS. 01:42 YES. 01:43 AND THERE IS NEED FOR TWENTY MORE AND TWENTY MORE AND TWENTY MORE. 01:47 EXACTLY. 01:48 YOU HAVEN'T SAID IT QUITE ENOUGH TIMES. 01:50 THERE IS ZEAL FOR GOD AND THERE IS ZEAL FOR SPREADING THE GOSPEL. 01:55 I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT BIHAR JUST A LITTLE BIT THOUGH BECAUSE CENTURIES 02:00 AGO IT WAS THE CAPITOL OF INDIA. 02:04 IT HAD A VERY LARGE GOVERNMENT SEAT IN BIHAR BUT GRADUALLY, GRADUALLY 02:09 BANGLADESH BROKE OFF FROM BIHAR, JHARKHAND STAYED BROKE OFF FROM BIHAR. 02:16 NEPAL BROKE OFF FROM BIHAR AND IT WAS LEFT WITH THE POOREST PART AND THE 02:25 PEOPLE ARE THE POOREST PEOPLE. 02:27 THE PEOPLE THAT WENT AWAY BECAUSE OF THE- WELL THE PEOPLE GOING TO THE CITIES 02:35 THEY STILL OWN THE PROPERTY AND SO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE LEFT THERE ARE 02:39 LIKE INDENTURED SERVANTS. 02:42 ALMOST A SLAVE STATE. 02:44 THEY CAN NEVER EARN ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY A LITTLE TINY PORTION OF LAND ON WHICH 02:50 TO BUILD A HOUSE. 02:51 SO LITERALLY, THEY ARE STUCK. 02:53 THEY ARE STUCK AND THE LANDOWNERS WANT TO BE KIND TO THEM SOMEWAY, SOMEHOW 03:03 AND SHOW SOMETHING SO THEY'LL LET THEM HAVE SOME PROPERTY FOR A CHURCH. 03:07 OH, THEY WILL? 03:09 ONCE IN A WHILE AND WE HAVE HAD SINCE I'VE BEEN THERE FOUR CHURCHES BUILT 03:17 BY GOSPEL OUTREACH FUNDS. 03:18 REALLY? 03:20 THEY ARE NOT ANY LONGER DOING GOSPEL OUTREACH FUNDS FOR CHURCHES BECAUSE 03:24 MARANATHA HAS THAT JOB BUT THERE WOULD BE OCCASIONAL CHURCHES THAT CAN BE BUILT 03:30 IN THAT AREA. 03:31 SO, IS THAT THE LORD WORKING ON THESE LANDOWNERS HEARTS FOR THEM 03:34 TO BE ABLE IF THEY ARE NOT ALLOWING THE PEOPLE TO HAVE A PLOT TO WORK ON WHY 03:39 IN THE WORLD IN A HINDU COUNTRY WOULD THEY THEN WANT A CHURCH? 03:43 I MEAN THAT'S ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED. 03:45 YES, BECAUSE REALLY THOSE LAND OWNERS DON'T CARE FOR CHRISTIANITY BECAUSE THAT 03:49 TAKES AWAY THE CASTE SYSTEM AND THESE PEOPLE ARE THE LOWEST IN THE 03:52 CASTE AND THE LAND OWNERS ARE HIGHER CASTE. 03:54 WE THAT'S A MIRACLE AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED. 03:56 YES, YES BUT THESE PEOPLE DON'T HAVE MUCH FOR EDUCATION EITHER AND THE 04:02 GOVERNMENT DOES BOAST TO HAVE SCHOOLS FOR ALL OF THEIR PEOPLE AND THERE ARE 04:07 GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS IN CERTAIN VILLAGES THAT THEY HAVE TO BE ABLE TO WALK 04:10 WITHIN I THINK IT IS FIVE KILOMETERS. 04:14 THEY DON'T GET JESUS CHRIST AND SO WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO PUT CHURCH 04:20 SCHOOLS INTO THESE AREAS. 04:23 I'VE GOT TO SHOW YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT. 04:24 GOOD. 04:26 UM, WE WERE STAYING IN MOHAMMADPUR WHICH IS NO LONGER A VILLAGE KNOWN FOR 04:31 THE ISLAMIC FAITH. 04:32 IT IS HINDUS BUT WE WERE LEAVING MOHAMMADPUR AND WENT THROUGH MOHAMMADPUR 04:38 ON OUR WAY TO NARINA AND PANAPUR AND YOU CAN SEE THIS IS NOT A WEALTHY 04:46 COUNTRY AND THEY HAVE SOME WATER PRESERVATION GOING ON BUT YOU CAN SEE IT IS 04:55 NOT THAT GREAT. 04:56 RAINY SEASON AND YOU CAN'T REALLY TELL VERY WELL WHAT THIS IS. 05:02 IS THAT YOU IN THERE? 05:03 THAT IS ME. 05:03 YOU WERE RIDING IN THERE. 05:05 THIS IS CALLED A BRIDE'S BASKET AND TWO MEN IN THE BACK CARRY A POLE AND TWO 05:11 MEN IN THE FRONT CARRY A POLE AND THEN THERE IS ONE OR TWO MEN ON THE SIDES OF 05:16 THE BASKET TO STABILIZE YOU SO YOU DON'T FALL. 05:19 WOW! 05:20 A ND YOU CAN SEE THE MEN ARE STANDING IN WATER AND SO THEY WERE PRESERVING ME 05:24 OF HAVING TO WALK THROUGH THE WATER TO GO TO THE CHURCH. 05:27 WOW! 05:28 NOW LOOK AT THE PATHWAY OF WATER. 05:32 I'VE GOT TO STOP HERE. 05:33 WHAT WAS THAT LIKE?
