00:14 WELCOME TO ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS AT GOSPEL 00:17 OUTREACH. 00:18 I'M JULIE SANDERS KEYMER AND WE ARE SO EXCITED THAT 00:20 YOU ARE WATCHING BECAUSE WE ARE READY TO TRAVEL TO 00:24 A FANTASTIC COUNTRY AND SHARE MORE WITH YOU ABOUT 00:28 A WONDERFUL PLACE CALLED NEPAL. 00:30 AND I AM GLAD TO WELCOME HERE CHARLES SHULTZ WHO IS 00:34 HERE TO SHARE WITH IS ABOUT A GREAT COUNTRY. 00:36 WE HEAR ABOUT NEPAL AND YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY 00:39 TO GO AND WORK WITH THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS 00:41 THERE. 00:42 YES. 00:43 AND I'D LIKE TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW 00:45 PRAYER IS OPENING THE DOORS TO A COUNTRY THAT 00:50 HAS BEEN CLOSED FOR SO MANY YEARS FOR THE GOSPEL. 00:53 AND YOU KNOW, I THINK ONE IMPORTANT THING IS TO SEE 00:55 HOW THESE, HOW THESE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS 00:58 HAVE BEEN SHAPED AND FORMED BY PRAYER. 01:02 AND I HAVE A SERIES OF STORIES. 01:05 THE FIRST ONE IS KARTIK. 01:07 AND HE BECAME A CHRISTIAN AND HE HAD A TERRIBLE 01:11 TIME. 01:12 HE WAS PERSECUTED IN HIS COMMUNITY. 01:14 HE COULDN'T USE THE SAME WELL. 01:17 HE HAD TO GO TO SOME OTHER PLACE TO GET WATER. 01:20 AND THEY WOULDN'T SELL HIM RICE. 01:22 BECAUSE HELP THE VIEWERS KNOW WHAT IS THE MAIN 01:24 RELIGION LANGUAGE IN NEPAL, OR MAIN RELIGION? 01:28 HINDUISM AND TO BE A CHRISTIAN IS THE LOWEST 01:32 LOWEST SCUM OF THE EARTH AS FAR AS A HINDU IS 01:35 CONCERNED. 01:36 AND SO HE WENT TO GET SOME RICE TO FEED HIS FAMILY 01:40 AND, WE'RE SORRY THERE'S NO RICE. 01:43 AND JUST AFTER THAT THE TOWN DRUNKARD WHO OWED 01:47 EVERYBODY MONEY CAME AND GOT RICE WITHOUT PAYING 01:50 ANYTHING AND SO KARTIK SAID TO THE SHOPKEEPER 01:53 WELL WHY WON'T YOU SELL ME RICE. 01:55 I'LL GIVE YOU MONEY. 01:56 NO, NO WE DON'T HAVE ANY RICE. 01:59 AND SO HE CAME BACK AND HE WAS THOROUGHLY DISCOURAGED 02:02 AND HIS FIVE YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER WHO HAD ABSORBED 02:05 JUST ENOUGH CHRISTIANITY TO KNOW ABOUT PRAYER AND 02:09 SHE SAYS DAD, WHY DON'T YOU PRAY THAT THE LORD 02:13 WILL SEND SOME RICE. 02:15 OKAY. 02:16 SO HE PRAYED AND TEN MINUTES LATER SOMEONE CAME 02:19 WITH TWO KILOS OF RICE. 02:22 OUT OF THE MOUTH OF BABES CHARLES. 02:23 YES. 02:24 AND THEN FIFTEEN MINUTES AFTER THAT SOMEONE CAME 02:27 WITH A HUNDRED RUPEES. 02:28 SO THAT KIND OF TIDED HIM OVER AND HE IS ONE OF OUR 02:32 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 02:33 A STRONG POWERFUL WITNESS FOR THE LORD BECAUSE OF 02:36 PRAYER. 02:37 NOW ANOTHER VERY FANTASTIC TWENTY YEAR-OLD GOSPEL 02:42 OUTREACH WORKER IS UMBIKA. 02:44 SHE IS THERE IN THE, IN THE PINK? 02:48 IN THE PINK YES, AND STANDING NEXT TO HER MOM 02:49 AND HER DAD. 02:50 HER MOM HAD A VERY SERIOUS HEART PROBLEM. 02:52 SHE HAD A VALVE THAT WAS GOING BAD OR WAS BAD. 02:53 AND HER DAD IN HIS FRUSTRATION WAS DRINKING 02:56 AND ABUSIVE AND ANGRY ALL THE TIME AND HE HAD A VERY 03:06 NEGATIVE ATTITUDE TO EVERYBODY IN THE 03:08 COMMUNITY. 03:09 WELL, UNBIKA'S AUNT WAS A CHRISTIAN AND SHE SAID WE 03:15 NEED TO PRAY FOR THE LADY WITH THE HEART PROBLEMS. 03:18 AND SO THEY ALL PRAYED AND LOW AND BEHOLD AN NGO, NON 03:20 GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION, FOUND OUT ABOUT UMBIKA'S 03:22 MOM AND OFFERED TO PAY FOR THE HEART SURGERY. 03:23 AND SO THE SURGERY WENT WELL AND UMBIKA'S MOM 03:29 RECOVERED. 03:30 THE DAD WHILE HE WAS IN THIS HOSPITAL HE SAW A 03:44 PIECE OF PAPER ON THE FLOOR. 03:45 HE PICKED IT UP. 03:47 IT WAS A GOSPEL TRACT PRESENTING JESUS AND HE 03:52 READ THIS AND HIS HEART WAS TOUCHED. 03:55 HE BECAME A SEVENTH-DAY-ADVENTIST 03:57 CHRISTIAN. 03:58 HIS WIFE BECAME A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST 04:00 CHRISTIAN AND UMBIKA, FULL OF ENTHUSIASM FOR THE 04:05 LORD, IS NOW ONE OF OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 04:09 FANTASTIC. 04:10 ALL BECAUSE OF SOMEONE AND WHO KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED AS 04:14 TO HOW THAT TRACT GOT ON THE FLOOR. 04:16 SOMEONE PICKED IT UP AND THE LORD HAS CHANGED THE 04:19 LIFE. 04:20 AND FURTHER MORE UMBIKA WHEN SHE GOES, AND IT'S A 04:22 VERY REMOTE AREA, LOTS OF UPS AND DOWNS, SHE GOES 04:26 ALL AROUND AND BECAUSE OF THE TREMENDOUS 04:29 TRANSFORMATION IN HER DAD, EVERYBODY KNOWS UMBIKA AND 04:35 THEY'RE READY FOR THE GOSPEL BECAUSE THEY HAVE 04:37 SEEN THE POWER OF GOD IN HER LIFE AND IN HIS LIFE. 04:41 YES, YES. 04:42 AND SO IT'S A TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY SHE HAS. 04:45 SO GIVE OUR VIEWERS A LITTLE BIT MORE BACKGROUND 04:48 ON NEPAL. 04:48 YES WE SEE PICTURES OF MT. 04:50 EVEREST AND ALL OF THAT BUT CHARLES, ABOUT HOW MAY 04:52 PEOPLE LIVE THERE?

05:24 THEY DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO BECOME CHRISTIANS. 05:27 SO OUT OF THIRTY MILLION PEOPLE HOW MANY GOSPEL 05:30 OUTREACH WORKERS DO WE HAVE? 05:31 FIFTY-FIVE. 05:32 FIFTY-FIVE. 05:33 SO WE HAVE FIFTY-FIVE AND THIRTY MILLION. 05:36 RIGHT. 05:37 SO WE NEED TO LEVEL THAT OUT A LITTLE BIT MORE 05:40 DON'T YOU THINK. 05:41 THAT'S RIGHT. 05:41 THAT'S FOR SURE. 05:42 SO GO BACK THOUGH. 05:43 SO THAT KIND OF GIVES VIEWERS A LITTLE BIT MORE 05:45 INFORMATION ABOUT NEPAL. 05:46 SO THE POWER OF PRAYER THOUGH. 05:48 SO YOU HAVE THESE PEOPLE YOU HAVE BEEN PRAYING TO 05:51 THEIR IDOLS BUT NOW THEY ARE PRAYING TO THE LIVING 05:54 GOD. 05:55 THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT. 05:56 THE NEXT PICTURE I HAVE IS ABOUT A BUFFALO. 06:00 THIS BUFFALO IS VERY IMPORTANT. 06:02 WHY?
