17:58 TRUST A HEARING PERSON THAT SIGNS. 18:00 THEY DON'T? 18:01 THEY TRUST ANOTHER DEAF PERSON. 18:02 DEAF PERSON BECAUSE THE PERSON UNDERSTANDS THEM. 18:04 A DIFFERENT CULTURE. 18:05 YOU KNOW WE TRUST OUR OWN PEOPLE. 18:07 THAT'S TRUE. 18:08 WE FALL INTO THAT TRIP TOO. 18:10 THAT'S TRUE. 18:10 AND HERE THEY ARE RECITING A POEM. 18:15 AGAIN BEING LED BY THE TEACHER SITING IN THE 18:19 CHAIR.

18:53 EPHRAIM PATOGO IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE SULADS 18:59 AND IS NOW OVERSEEING, OF COURSE, THE DEAF SCHOOL. 19:05 THIS IS THE DORMITORY A YEAR LATER AFTER WE WERE 19:08 THERE TO BREAK GROUND. 19:10 WE HAD A LITTLE DELAY BECAUSE THERE WAS A 19:13 DISPUTE OVER WHO ACTUALLY OWNED THE LAND. 19:15 OH OH. 19:16 BUT I THINK WE FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS OWNED BY THE 19:19 GOVERNMENT AND WE HAD TO GET PERMISSION FROM THE 19:23 GOVERNMENT TO CONTINUE TO BUILD. 19:24 SO THAT PERMISSION HAS BEEN OBTAINED AND THEY ARE 19:28 CONTINUING TO BUILD. 19:30 SO WE'LL WATCH THIS BUILDING GO UP HERE FOR 19:31 JUST A LITTLE BIT UNTIL THE CUTTING OF THE RIBBON. 19:37 THIS IS ONE OF THE OFFICERS FROM THE SOUTH 19:41 PHILIPPINE UNION CONFERENCE. 19:46 DARYL AND SARA WERE THERE TO CUT THE RIBBON. 19:48 DARYL AND SARA FAMISARAN ARE NO LONGER WORKING AT 19:52 THE SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF. 19:54 THEY HAVE HAD TO STEP ASIDE AND GO SOMEWHERE 19:57 ELSE TO EARN MORE MONEY BECAUSE THEIR SON WANTED 19:59 TO GO TO MEDICAL SCHOOL. 20:00 BLESS THEIR HEARTS. 20:01 SO THEY ARE NOW DOING THE SAME KIND OF WORK ON THE 20:04 ISLAND OF MINDORO SETTING UP A SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF 20:07 AND BLIND. 20:10 GOD BLESS THEM. 20:11 OH AND LOOK HOW NICE IT LOOKS. 20:13 IT IS A VERY NICE LOOKING BUILDING. 20:15 OKAY. 20:16 I'M STILL BACK AT THE RIVER THAT THEY ALL HAD TO 20:17 BRING ALL THAT STUFF OVER. 20:19 ALL BUT THE ROCKS. 20:20 AND THEY PROBABLY DIDN'T, THEY CAME FROM THE RIVER. 20:22 AND THEY PROBABLY DIDN'T COMPLAIN ABOUT ANY OF 20:25 THAT. 20:26 NO. 20:29 THEY SHALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD AND THEY WILL HEAR AND 20:31 SPEAK OF GOD. 20:34 I BELIEVE THAT'S THE LAST SLIDE BUT I CAN STILL TELL 20:37 YOU SOME MORE STORIES. 20:37 OH FRED THIS IS SO MOVING TO ME. 20:40 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING THESE PHOTOS. 20:42 AND AS YOU KNOW THIS IS VERY NEAR AND DEAR TO MY 20:44 HEART. 20:45 AND I IDENTIFY WITH MANY OF THESE PEOPLE IN MANY 20:49 WAYS AND FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A PLACE THAT 20:53 THEY ARE SAFE AND TO BE EDUCATED AND ALL OF THAT. 20:56 I JUST HOPE THAT WE CONTINUE TO DO ALL WE CAN 20:58 HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH FOR THIS PROGRAM. 21:02 SOME THINGS THAT I COULD HAVE SHOWN BUT I DIDN'T AS 21:04 I THOUGHT I WOULDN'T HAVE TIME. 21:08 TWO YEARS AGO WHEN JEFF JORDAN WAS THERE WE HAD A 21:11 BAPTISM. 21:13 NOW AT THAT POINT THERE WERE TWENTY-THREE 21:16 STUDENTS. 21:20 NINE OF THOSE HAD BEEN BAPTIZED. 21:21 WOW. 21:23 WHILE HE WAS THERE HE BAPTIZED ANOTHER, WHAT WAS 21:29 IT, I FORGET THE EXACT NUMBER NOW. 21:30 ANYWAY ONLY THREE STUDENTS IN THE SCHOOL WERE NOT 21:34 BAPTIZED SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS. 21:36 BECAUSE THEY HAD MADE A COMMITMENT TO THE LORD AND 21:38 SEEN SOMEONE CARING FOR THEM. 21:40 JEFF JORDAN HELD AN EVANGELISTIC SERIES FOR 21:43 THEM AND SINCE HE IS DEAF THEY ACCEPTED EVERYTHING 21:47 HE SAID. 21:47 ISN'T THAT NEAT. 21:49 AND DID AN EXCELLENT JOB. 21:51 THOSE BRIDGES GOING ACROSS THERE, LET'S TALK ABOUT 22:00 THOSE A LITTLE BIT. 22:01 THERE ARE TWO BROTHERS IN CANADA WHO HAVE SENT QUITE 22:03 A BIT OF MONEY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THAT 22:05 BUILDING. 22:06 IN FACT THEY BASICALLY FUNDED IT. 22:08 THERE WERE A FEW MINOR DONORS BESIDES THEM, BUT 22:11 BASICALLY THE TWO BROTHERS. 22:14 THEY WERE THERE TO VISIT THIS YEAR IN FEBRUARY JUST 22:18 BEFORE I GOT THERE. 22:20 I OVERLAPPED WITH ONE BROTHER WHO STAYED BEHIND. 22:25 BUT THEY HAD BEEN OUT TO THE SCHOOL AND THEY SAW 22:27 THOSE BRIDGES AND THEY SAID OH, WE'VE GOT TO DO 22:28 SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. 22:29 GOOD. 22:30 SO THEY ARE SEARCHING NOW, AS I UNDERSTAND, THE 22:35 GOVERNMENT HAS DECIDED THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO 22:39 PUT IN A BRIDGE A SUSPENSION BRIDGE WITH 22:43 CABLES WHICH WOULD BE MUCH MORE PERMANENT, MUCH MORE 22:44 STABLE THAN THE BAMBOO. 22:45 OH IT MIGHT SWING, YES BUT IT WOULD BE SAFER FOR 22:46 SURE. 22:47 RIGHT. 22:48 BUT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE 22:49 CONCRETE THAN THAT. 22:49 I'M NOT SURE WHICH IS THE BEST. 22:50 WE DID TALK ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF PUTTING A 22:51 ROAD ACROSS WHERE YOU COULD TAKE A VEHICLE THAT 22:53 CAN HAUL THE MATERIALS. 22:54 BUT THAT INVOLVES MANY THINGS INCLUDING GETTING A 22:54 RIGHT-OF-WAY ACROSS PROPERTY, GETTING 22:56 PERMISSION FROM THE GOVERNMENT TO PUT A BRIDGE 22:57 ACROSS THE RIVER. 22:58 SURE. 22:59 AND IT COULD BRING IN PEOPLE THAT THEY MAY NOT 23:00 WANT. 23:01 YES. 23:02 SO THERE'S A BALANCING ACT ON MANY THINGS THAT NEED 23:10 TO BE CONSIDERED. 23:28 SO I AM PROMOTING TO THEM THAT WE WORK ON THIS 23:32 SUSPENSION BY CABLE BRIDGE. 23:36 SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET THAT AND WE'LL BE 23:39 ABLE TO AT LEAST HAVE A SAFE BRIDGE TO CROSS. 23:43 SO WHAT'S IT LIKE FOR YOU FRED AS A PERSON WHO HAS 23:46 LIVED IN THE PHILIPPINES, NOW YOU VOLUNTEER HERE AT 23:50 GOSPEL OUTREACH IN THE PHILIPPINES AND SINCE YOU 23:53 HAVE LIVED OVERSEAS YOU HAVE SEEN I'M SURE SO MANY 23:56 PEOPLE WHO HAVE VERY VERY SPECIFIC SPECIAL NEEDS. 24:00 WHAT'S IT LIKE FOR YOU TO BE INVOLVED WITH THIS 24:02 RIGHT NOW? 24:03 IT'S EXCITING TO ME ESPECIALLY, I JUST GOT SO 24:06 EXCITED WHEN I SAW THOSE KIDS PLAYING THE ANGKLUNG. 24:09 YES. 24:10 I JUST, YOU KNOW THEIR DEAF. 24:11 THEY COULDN'T HEAR WHAT THEY WERE DOING AND YET 24:13 THEY WERE MAKING HARMONY. 24:14 YES ABSOLUTELY. 24:15 YOU KNOW IT WASN'T JUST ONE PLAYING AT A TIME. 24:17 THEY WERE PLAYING CHORDS. 24:18 BEAUTIFUL MUSIC TO THE LORD. 24:20 SO WHEN THESE STUDENTS, ARE THEY ARE THEY LEARNING 24:22 AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE? 24:24 ARE THEY LEARNING IN ENGLISH? 24:25 TELL US A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT. 24:27 THERE ARE A FEW DIFFERENCES BETWEEN 24:29 AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE AND PHILIPPINE SIGN LANGUAGE. 24:32 NOT MANY. 24:33 IN OTHER WORDS JEFF JORDAN WHO CAME SPEAKING AMERICAN 24:37 SIGN LANGUAGE WAS UNDERSTOOD. 24:39 OH HE WAS. 24:39 HE WAS UNDERSTOOD. 24:40 OKAY. 24:41 AS I SAID THERE WERE A FEW DIFFERENCES BUT NOT MAJOR 24:46 DIFFERENCES. 24:47 SO YES THEY ARE LEARNING THAT. 24:49 MANY OF THEM WHEN THEY COME HAVE NO, THE ONLY 24:52 THING THEY KNOW IS SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE 24:55 IMPROVISED THEMSELVES, AN IMPROVISED LANGUAGE WHICH 24:58 THEY HAVE TO UNLEARN, YES IN ORDER TO LEARN, IN 25:01 ORDER TO LEARN THE PHILIPPINE SIGN LANGUAGE. 25:02 BUT I'M ALSO HOPING THAT WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO 25:05 THIS SCHOOL THEN THEY CAN, WHEN THEY DO GO HOME FOR 25:08 THE SUMMER THEN THEY CAN HELP EDUCATE THEIR 25:10 FAMILIES SO THEN THE FAMILIES CAN COMMUNICATE. 25:12 YES SO THAT THERE IS MORE OF A CONNECTION BETWEEN 25:15 THEM. 25:16 WE ENCOURAGE THE PARENTS TO COME AND LEARN SIGN 25:18 LANGUAGE. 25:18 OH YOU DO. 25:19 YES. 25:20 OKAY. 25:21 NOT MANY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT BUT WE DO ENCOURAGE 25:22 THAT. 25:23 WELL AND FOR SO MANY, FOR SO MANY ON SO MANY LEVELS 25:27 NOT ONLY FOR THESE STUDENTS TO LEARN, TO 25:30 LEARN IN GENERAL BUT ALSO TO LEARN ABOUT JESUS AND 25:33 THEN TO ALSO LEARN HOW TO FUNCTION AND NOT BE 25:36 FRUSTRATED WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO COMMUNICATE. 25:38 AND TO LEARN AND ALL OF THESE THINGS I JUST THINK 25:40 THIS WHOLE PROGRAM IS JUST COMPLETELY OF THE LORD. 25:44 MAYBE I SHOULD SAY JUST A FEW WORDS OF HOW WE GOT 25:46 STARTED. 25:47 YES. 25:48 AS WE SAID JOHN BLAKE IS THE ONE THAT'S IN CHARGE 25:51 OF GOSPEL OUTREACH DEAF WORK AND HE CAME TO THE 25:53 PHILIPPINES AND WE SAT DOWN WITH ANOTHER FAMILY 25:54 AND SARA TALKING ABOUT WHAT WE NEEDED. 25:56 AND AS A RESULT OF THAT MEETING SARA DECIDED SHE 25:57 WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT AND SO THAT'S THE SPARK THAT 25:58 GOT US GOING. 25:59 YES. 26:00 WELL IT'S FANTASTIC, IT'S FANTASTIC. 26:01 WELL I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND 26:02 PLEASE WHEN YOU ARE BACK THERE WITH THE STUDENTS 26:04 AGAIN PLEASE TELL THEM OUR GREETINGS. 26:05 AND WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO YOU FOR BEING A 26:07 PART OF ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS HERE AT GOSPEL 26:08 OUTREACH AND WE DO ENCOURAGE YOU PLEASE PRAY 26:09 FOR THESE STUDENTS. 26:10 ISN'T THIS EXCITING AND IF YOU ARE FEELING MOVED BY 26:11 THE LORD TO GIVE WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU AND 26:13 PLEASE PRAY FOR THEM. 26:40 AND PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE GOAIM.ORG FOR WAYS 27:25 FOR YOU TO GET INVOLVED AND MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU 28:26 TODAY. |
