[OPENING MUSIC].
00:00:00.50\00:00:14.88
WELCOME AGAIN TO
"ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS".
00:00:14.91\00:00:16.85
IT IS A JOY TO BE WITH
YOU AGAIN TODAY AND JUST TO
00:00:16.88\00:00:20.35
SHARE SOME AMAZING STORIES.
00:00:20.38\00:00:23.12
WE ARE HERE TODAY
WITH A SPECIAL GUEST, KEN
00:00:23.15\00:00:26.59
CRAWFORD.
00:00:26.62\00:00:27.32
WELCOME TO THE TABLE.
00:00:27.36\00:00:28.56
THANK YOU.
00:00:28.59\00:00:29.32
NICE TO BE HERE.
00:00:29.36\00:00:30.99
MY NAME IS OLE OLESON AND
KEN AND I SHARE TWO THINGS
00:00:31.03\00:00:35.60
IN COMMON.
00:00:35.63\00:00:37.00
WE'VE BOTH BEEN TO AN
ISOLATED ESKIMO VILLAGE ON
00:00:37.03\00:00:41.17
THE COAST OF ALASKA.
00:00:41.20\00:00:42.80
TRUE.
00:00:42.84\00:00:43.51
AND WE BOTH RECENTLY RETIRED.
00:00:43.54\00:00:45.64
WE WON'T SAY
ANYTHING ABOUT THAT WILL WE?
00:00:45.67\00:00:47.04
AH, KEN YOU HAVE A BIT
OF ALASKA IN YOUR BLOOD.
00:00:47.08\00:00:52.88
HOW DO YOU FIND YOURSELF
HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH?
00:00:52.91\00:00:56.42
WELL, I RECENTLY RETIRED
AS WE SAID AND YOUR-ONE OF
00:00:56.45\00:01:00.92
YOUR DIRECTORS DICK MADSON
ASKED ME TO COME AND CHECK
00:01:00.96\00:01:05.39
IT OUT.
00:01:05.43\00:01:06.39
YES.
00:01:06.43\00:01:07.36
SO, I SHOWED UP HERE
YESTERDAY TO FIND OUT WHAT
00:01:07.40\00:01:10.23
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS ALL
ABOUT AND I'M GOING AWAY
00:01:10.27\00:01:14.20
QUITE INSPIRED.
00:01:14.24\00:01:15.94
YOU AND I HAVE
GOTTEN TO HEAR SOME OF THE
00:01:15.97\00:01:17.91
PRESENTATIONS, HAVEN'T WE?
00:01:17.94\00:01:19.24
YES, AND THERE IS A,
THERE IS A SENSE OF GOD AT WORK
00:01:19.27\00:01:23.61
THAT IS
WONDERFUL TO BE A PART OF.
00:01:23.65\00:01:25.88
TRULY AMAZING.
00:01:25.91\00:01:27.58
VERY INSPIRATIONAL.
00:01:27.62\00:01:28.85
WHEN YOU, WHEN YOU
RETIRED WHAT WERE YOU RETIRING
00:01:28.88\00:01:35.42
FROM?
00:01:35.46\00:01:36.46
THE LAST TWELVE YEARS I
HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT OF THE
00:01:36.49\00:01:39.96
ALASKA CONFERENCE AND
ALTHOUGH MY HISTORY IN
00:01:40.00\00:01:44.00
ALASKA GOES BACK A LONG
WAYS BUT THE LAST TWELVE
00:01:44.03\00:01:46.30
YEARS I'VE BEEN PRESIDENT THERE.
00:01:46.33\00:01:47.64
THAT'S A LOT OF WORK.
00:01:47.67\00:01:48.64
CONGRATULATIONS AND
THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WAS NOT
00:01:48.67\00:01:49.57
SOMETHING THAT YOU
HAD HEARD ABOUT UNTIL DICK
00:01:49.60\00:01:50.97
MADSON MENTIONED IT TO YOU?
00:01:51.01\00:01:51.97
I HAD HEARD ABOUT IT
FROM HIM, FROM HIM, AWHILE
00:01:52.01\00:01:55.61
BACK.
00:01:55.64\00:01:56.61
I'VE KIND OF FOLLOWED
A LITTLE BIT AND A BEEN A
00:01:56.64\00:02:01.42
BIT OF A FAN OF THE
ORGANIZATIONAL CONCEPT.
00:02:01.45\00:02:04.89
OK.
00:02:04.92\00:02:05.85
BUT THAT'S ABOUT ALL I
KNEW ABOUT IT UNTIL THE
00:02:05.89\00:02:10.66
LAST COUPLE OF DAYS.
00:02:17.87\00:02:19.07
BEING THE CONFERENCE
PRESIDENT IN ALASKA MEANS
00:02:19.10\00:02:22.74
THAT YOU HAVE A MIXED
ENVIRONMENT TO WORK IN FOR
00:02:22.77\00:02:26.61
THOSE TWELVE YEARS AND
BEFORE WHEN YOU WERE THERE
00:02:26.64\00:02:29.31
BECAUSE SOME OF IT IS
LIKE URBAN MINISTRY, VERY MUCH,
00:02:29.34\00:02:32.78
AND SOME OF IT IS
MISSION WORK IS IT NOT?
00:02:32.81\00:02:35.95
VERY MUCH MISSION WORK
AND I REALLY IDENTIFIED WITH
00:02:35.98\00:02:39.92
MEETINGS HERE THE
LAST COUPLE OF DAYS.
00:02:39.95\00:02:42.56
IN ALASKA, WE HAVE
230 ESKIMO VILLAGES WE
00:02:42.59\00:02:48.16
ACTUALLY WORK IN
ABOUT 8 OF THEM AND SO THE
00:02:48.20\00:02:51.87
CHALLENGE OF REACHING TO
THOSE VILLAGES IS HUGE AND
00:02:51.90\00:02:56.74
I THINK THAT'S PART
OF-I MEAN WHEN YOU SEE THE
00:02:56.77\00:03:00.71
UNCHURCHED IN THE 10/40
WINDOW AND THE NUMBER OF
00:03:00.74\00:03:04.88
PEOPLE MILLIONS UPON
MILLIONS, BILLIONS OF
00:03:04.91\00:03:07.82
PEOPLE THAT NEED TO BE
REACHED I MEAN, THAT'S I
00:03:07.85\00:03:11.69
CAN UNDERSTAND IT.
00:03:11.72\00:03:13.12
AND SOME OF THEM FOCUS
IN THE AREAS SMALLER THAN
00:03:13.15\00:03:16.56
ALASKA.
00:03:16.59\00:03:17.29
SMALLER THAN ALASKA THAT'S TRUE.
00:03:17.33\00:03:19.49
THINGS HAVE SPREAD OUT UP THERE.
00:03:19.53\00:03:21.43
THINGS ARE SPREAD OUT
FROM MY-THIS WAS ONE OF OUR
00:03:21.46\00:03:26.47
FAVORITE SAYINGS IN THE
OFFICE FROM OUR SOUTHERN
00:03:26.50\00:03:28.57
MOST CHURCH AND NORTHERN
MOST CHURCH WOULD BE FROM
00:03:28.60\00:03:32.14
THE MEXICAN BORDER
PRETTY WELL TO THE CANADIAN
00:03:32.17\00:03:35.88
BORDER.
00:03:35.91\00:03:36.68
YES, SO IT'S A
BIG DISTANCE - ALASKA.
00:03:36.71\00:03:39.45
NOW YOU MENTION THE
ESKIMOS THERE ARE OTHER
00:03:39.48\00:03:43.49
NATIVE CULTURES
THERE AS WELL AREN'T THERE?
00:03:43.52\00:03:45.79
THERE ARE.
00:03:45.82\00:03:46.65
THERE IS A NUMBER
OF DIFFERENT CULTURES.
00:03:46.69\00:03:47.62
IS MOST OF OUR WORK
AMONG THE ESKIMO VILLAGES?
00:03:47.66\00:03:50.99
UM, THAT'S BEEN
OUR CONCENTRATION.
00:03:51.03\00:03:53.36
WE HAVE HAD WORK IN
THE SOUTHERN AREA OF ALASKA
00:03:53.40\00:03:57.00
DOWN THE ALASKA PANHANDLE,
UH HUH, AMONG HAIDA AND
00:03:57.03\00:04:01.00
SOME OF THE
INDIAN TRIBES DOWN THERE.
00:04:01.04\00:04:03.81
WE'VE HAD WORK AMONG
THE ATHABASKANS AND WE'RE
00:04:03.84\00:04:07.38
BEGINNING TO MOVE INTO
THAT AREA A LITTLE BIT BUT
00:04:07.41\00:04:09.71
OUR CONCENTRATION HAS
BEEN IN THOSE ESKIMO VILLAGES
00:04:09.74\00:04:12.78
BECAUSE THEY ARE SO REMOTE.
00:04:12.81\00:04:14.45
YES.
00:04:14.48\00:04:15.52
AND VERY DIFFICULT TO GET
TO AND IN TERRIBLE CRISIS-
00:04:15.55\00:04:20.36
MOST OF THOSE ESKIMO VILLAGES.
00:04:20.39\00:04:22.79
THE SUICIDE RATE AMONG
TEENAGERS IN THOSE ESKIMO
00:04:22.82\00:04:26.06
VILLAGES IS 140 PERCENT
HIGHER THAN THE NATIONAL
00:04:26.09\00:04:30.33
AVERAGE AMONG TEENAGERS.
00:04:30.37\00:04:32.27
IT'S JUST INCREDIBLE TO
SEE THESE LITTLE VILLAGES
00:04:32.30\00:04:35.97
OF 800 PEOPLE AND THE
AMOUNT OF YOUTH THAT THEY
00:04:36.00\00:04:38.97
LOSE EVERY YEAR TO SUICIDE.
00:04:39.01\00:04:40.64
SUICIDE.
00:04:40.68\00:04:41.48
OH.
00:04:41.51\00:04:42.44
BECAUSE THE TRADITIONAL
WAYS OF LIFE ARE BEING
00:04:42.48\00:04:45.85
ERODED BOTH BY ALL
THE INPUT OF WESTERN
00:04:45.88\00:04:50.32
CIVILIZATION NOT TO
MENTION WEATHER BECAUSE
00:04:50.35\00:04:53.12
SOME OF THEIR VILLAGES
ARE BEING LITERALLY ERODED,
00:04:53.15\00:04:57.23
AWAY AREN'T THEY?
00:04:57.26\00:04:57.83
THAT'S TRUE VERY MUCH SO.
00:04:57.86\00:04:59.69
YES.
00:04:59.73\00:05:00.80
WELL, TELL US A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT HOW THE CHURCH HAS
00:05:00.83\00:05:06.67
TRIED TO REACH OUT TO
THESE INDIGENOUS CULTURES
00:05:06.70\00:05:09.10
IN THE PAST AND IN THE PRESENT.
00:05:09.14\00:05:11.11
WHAT DID THEY DO?
00:05:11.14\00:05:12.14
WELL, BACK IN THE 1930'S
WE HAD SOME PUBLIC-SCHOOL
00:05:12.17\00:05:17.15
TEACHERS WHEN THEY
FIRST STARTED PUTTING PUBLIC
00:05:17.18\00:05:19.35
SCHOOL TEACHERS IN
SCHOOLS IN ALASKA AND THOSE
00:05:19.38\00:05:23.02
PUBLIC-SCHOOL
TEACHERS WERE VERY MISSIONARY
00:05:23.05\00:05:25.85
MINDED AND THEY STARTED
SOME OF THE WORK AMONG THE
00:05:25.89\00:05:29.52
ESKIMOS AND THEN OVER
TIME IN THE EARLY 1940'S THEY
00:05:29.56\00:05:34.40
BUILT A MISSION SCHOOL.
00:05:34.46\00:05:37.90
O.K.
00:05:37.93\00:05:38.63
A RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL BASICALLY.
00:05:38.67\00:05:39.63
RIGHT.
00:05:39.67\00:05:40.50
AND MANY OF THE
LEADERS FROM THE NATIVE
00:05:40.54\00:05:43.74
COMMUNITIES IN ALASKA
NOW COME FROM THAT MISSION
00:05:43.77\00:05:48.38
SCHOOL.
00:05:48.41\00:05:49.21
THEY LEARNED A LOT
OF THEIR LEADERSHIP
00:05:49.24\00:05:52.58
CAPABILITIES
THERE AT THAT SCHOOL.
00:05:52.61\00:05:54.45
AH YES.
00:05:54.48\00:05:55.68
AND IT CLOSED IN THE MID
70'S BUT IT WAS A POWERFUL
00:05:55.72\00:05:59.55
INFLUENCE ON THE NATIVE CULTURE.
00:05:59.59\00:06:01.06
UH HUH.
00:06:01.09\00:06:02.66
AND SO SINCE THEN WE'VE
BEEN TRYING TO REACH OUT
00:06:02.69\00:06:07.23
TO THESE COMMUNITIES AND
SET UP MISSIONARY OUTPOSTS
00:06:07.23\00:06:10.57
IN THESE COMMUNITIES
AND THIS IS A BIT OF A
00:06:10.60\00:06:16.30
TESTIMONY BUT, OK.
00:06:16.34\00:06:18.07
MY WIFE AND I -I'D
GRADUATED FROM THEOLOGY
00:06:18.11\00:06:21.54
BUT I HAD NO INTEREST
IN GOING INTO THE MINISTRY.
00:06:21.58\00:06:23.98
I JUST WANTED
TO STUDY THE BIBLE.
00:06:24.01\00:06:25.98
YES.
00:06:26.01\00:06:26.95
AND SO WHEN, AFTER I
GRADUATED THEY ASKED ME IF
00:06:26.98\00:06:29.62
I WANTED TO BE A
MINISTER AND I SAID NO I LOVE
00:06:29.65\00:06:31.92
BUSINESS.
00:06:31.95\00:06:32.99
I SAID THAT'S MY THING.
00:06:33.02\00:06:33.92
I LOVE BUSINESS AND
SO I WAS LIVING IN PASCO,
00:06:33.96\00:06:38.33
WASHINGTON AND WE HAD A
FARM A BEAUTIFUL SIX ACRE
00:06:38.36\00:06:41.26
FARM-600 ACRES RIGHT
ALONG THE COLUMBIA RIVER.
00:06:41.30\00:06:43.87
WE COULD THROW A ROCK
INTO THE COLUMBIA RIVER FROM
00:06:43.90\00:06:46.47
OUR HOUSE AND MY WIFE
AND I WENT ON A LITTLE
00:06:46.50\00:06:50.07
HONEYMOON TO THE VIRGIN
ISLANDS AND WHILE WE WERE
00:06:50.11\00:06:52.77
THERE WE WERE IN THIS
CONDO THAT HAD NO TV, NO
00:06:52.81\00:06:57.45
RADIO- IT WAS VERY
REMOTE AND WE BEGIN TO STUDY THE
00:06:57.48\00:07:00.85
BIBLE TOGETHER.
00:07:00.88\00:07:02.78
WE TOLD THE LORD WHILE
WE WERE THERE-I REMEMBER
00:07:02.82\00:07:04.95
PRAYING ON THE BEACH
AND SAYING IF YOU HAVE
00:07:04.99\00:07:07.69
ANYTHING FOR US WE'VE
ARRANGED OUR LIVES IN A
00:07:07.72\00:07:09.02
WAY THAT IT SUITS
OUR NEEDS BUT IF YOU HAVE
00:07:09.06\00:07:10.36
ANYTHING FOR US, WHERE WE
CAN BE A PART OF SOMETHING
00:07:10.39\00:07:11.73
BIGGER PART OF YOUR
WORK THEN IF YOU CAN SHOW US
00:07:11.76\00:07:14.60
THEN WE'LL DO IT.
00:07:14.63\00:07:15.50
SO, WE GET HOME THAT
NIGHT-THE NEXT MORNING
00:07:15.53\00:07:18.27
BEFORE WE GOT OUT OF BED
THE PHONE RINGS AND IT IS
00:07:18.30\00:07:23.37
THIS VOICE ON THE OTHER END.
00:07:32.35\00:07:33.82
BIG DEEP VOICE, ELDER
BILL WOODRUFF PRESIDENT OF
00:07:33.85\00:07:37.39
ALASKAN CONFERENCE.
00:07:37.42\00:07:38.75
I'M LOOKING FOR A COUPLE
THAT'S WILLING TO MOVE TO
00:07:38.79\00:07:42.69
A LITTLE VILLAGE THAT IS
ON AN ISLAND 35 MILES OFF
00:07:42.72\00:07:45.79
THE COAST OF SIBERIA
ABOVE THE ARTIC CIRCLE.
00:07:45.83\00:07:48.66
UH HUH.
00:07:48.70\00:07:49.33
THERE IS ONE CABIN.
00:07:49.36\00:07:50.73
IT'S 16X20 BUT FOUR
FEET OF THAT IS THE PORCH AND
00:07:50.77\00:07:55.37
THE ENTRY PORCH.
00:07:55.40\00:07:56.24
RIGHT.
00:07:56.27\00:07:57.17
16X16 ONE ROOM.
00:07:57.21\00:07:58.51
YOU CARRY YOUR WATER IN.
00:07:58.54\00:08:00.51
YOU CARRY YOUR HONEY BUCKET.
00:08:00.54\00:08:01.94
YOUR FOOD COMES
ONCE A YEAR IN JULY.
00:08:01.98\00:08:03.85
YES.
00:08:03.88\00:08:04.58
AND WE NEED SOMEBODY RIGHT AWAY.
00:08:04.61\00:08:07.55
AND THAT TOWN WAS?
00:08:07.58\00:08:09.02
SAVOONGA, ALASKA ON
ST. LAWRENCE ISLAND.
00:08:09.05\00:08:12.25
ST. LAWRENCE ISLAND.
00:08:12.29\00:08:13.56
GAMBELL IS THE OTHER VILLAGE.
00:08:13.59\00:08:15.02
AND I KNOW YOUR CABIN
THROUGH AND THROUGH EVEN
00:08:15.06\00:08:16.36
THOUGH I'VE NEVER BEEN
THERE BECAUSE I LIVED IN
00:08:16.39\00:08:17.69
ONE FOR TWO YEARS MYSELF.
00:08:17.73\00:08:18.23
RIGHT, THE SAME CABIN.
00:08:18.26\00:08:19.13
THEY WERE ALL COOKIE
CUTTER CABINS ALL OVER
00:08:19.16\00:08:20.40
ALASKA.
00:08:20.43\00:08:21.03
YES.
00:08:21.06\00:08:21.93
YES, SO ANYWAY WE
PACKED UP AND GOT RID OF
00:08:21.96\00:08:23.03
EVERYTHING.
00:08:23.06\00:08:24.03
THE HARDEST THING WAS
MY WIFE HAD JUST PUT UP 200
00:08:24.07\00:08:25.10
QUARTS OF FRESH FRUIT AND
GRAPE JUICE AND WE GIVE IT
00:08:25.13\00:08:26.37
-NONE OF THAT
MADE IT TO SAVOONGA.
00:08:26.40\00:08:27.74
WE HAD TO GIVE IT ALL AWAY.
00:08:27.77\00:08:33.27
AND WE ARRIVED IN
SAVOONGA IN JANUARY.
00:08:33.31\00:08:38.35
OH MY, KEN.
00:08:40.98\00:08:44.25
WHAT YEAR WAS THAT?
00:08:44.29\00:08:48.89
IF I CAN ASK?
00:08:48.92\00:08:49.56
1979.
00:08:49.59\00:08:50.63
1979 OK WELL THIS IS-THAT
IS AN AMAZING STORY ALL BY
00:08:50.66\00:08:55.43
ITSELF HOW GOD CALLED
YOU INTO THEIR FIRST CONTACT
00:08:59.73\00:09:04.81
WITH THE OUTER
FRINGES OF ALASKA.
00:09:04.84\00:09:07.04
YES.
00:09:07.08\00:09:07.71
TO BE SURE.
00:09:07.74\00:09:08.74
DO YOU HAVE ANY STORIES
OF HOW GOD WAS AT WORK IN
00:09:08.78\00:09:14.32
THESE COMMUNITIES BEFORE
WE EVEN HAD A CHANCE TO GO
00:09:14.35\00:09:17.32
THERE?
00:09:17.35\00:09:18.35
WELL, IN THIS VILLAGE
THE WORK STARTED BECAUSE ONE
00:09:18.39\00:09:22.09
OF THE ELDERS NAMED
NATHAN NOONWUK AND HE GOT TB AND
00:09:22.12\00:09:28.26
SO THEY SENT HIM TO A
SANITARIUM IN SEATTLE.
00:09:28.30\00:09:31.33
OK.
00:09:31.37\00:09:32.37
THE WHOLE TIME HE WAS IN
THE SANITARIUM HE TUNED IN
00:09:32.40\00:09:35.60
TO RADIO-LISTENED TO
THE RADIO AND HE LISTENED TO
00:09:35.64\00:09:38.11
THE VOICE OF PROPHECY.
00:09:38.14\00:09:39.24
OK.
00:09:39.27\00:09:40.21
H.M.S.
00:09:40.24\00:09:41.21
RICHARDS, SR. AND EVERY
NIGHT HE WOULD LISTEN TO
00:09:41.24\00:09:43.75
THE VOICE OF PROPHECY
AND HE BECAME CONVERTED AND
00:09:43.78\00:09:46.82
BECAME A SEVENTH DAY
ADVENTIST AND WENT BACK TO
00:09:46.85\00:09:48.98
THE VILLAGE AS A
SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST.
00:09:49.02\00:09:51.25
AND HE WAS REJECTED AND
SHUNNED IN THAT VILLAGE.
00:09:51.29\00:09:55.26
THERE WAS A
DOMINANT FAITH PROBABLY?
00:09:55.29\00:09:57.79
RIGHT THAT VILLAGE
WAS ALL PRESBYTERIAN.
00:09:57.83\00:10:00.60
ALASKA WAS DIVIDED UP IN
THE EARLY-THE TURN OF THE
00:10:00.63\00:10:03.53
20TH CENTURY AND
GIVEN TO DIFFERENT CHURCHES.
00:10:03.57\00:10:05.73
OH, YES AND ST.
LAWRENCE ISLAND WAS GIVEN TO THE
00:10:05.77\00:10:07.77
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
00:10:07.80\00:10:08.80
OK.
00:10:08.84\00:10:09.84
AND SO, THIS WAS REALLY
THE FIRST ENTRANCE OF THE
00:10:09.87\00:10:12.04
SEVENTH DAY
ADVENTISM INTO SAVOONGA.
00:10:12.07\00:10:15.41
SO, THE INTERESTING
THING WAS THEY WERE HAVING A
00:10:15.44\00:10:19.18
VERY ROUGH WINTER, VERY
LITTLE FOOD AND THERE CAME
00:10:19.21\00:10:23.89
ONE DAY -STORM AFTER
STORM CAME THROUGH AND THERE
00:10:23.92\00:10:26.59
CAME ONE DAY THAT IT WAS
BEAUTIFUL AND ALL THE MEN
00:10:26.62\00:10:30.26
IN THE VILLAGE WERE
GOING TO OUT HUNTING AND IT WAS
00:10:30.29\00:10:32.83
ON A SABBATH.
00:10:32.86\00:10:33.83
NATHAN REFUSED.
00:10:33.86\00:10:35.76
THEY RIDICULED HIM AND
THEY WENT OUT HUNTING AND
00:10:35.80\00:10:39.37
THEY TOLD HIM THEY SAID,
"WHEN WE COME BACK WE ARE
00:10:39.40\00:10:41.17
NOT GIVING YOU A
THING BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT
00:10:41.20\00:10:43.41
WILLING"-HE WAS ONE OF
THE TOP HUNTERS IN THE VILLAGE
00:10:43.44\00:10:45.87
AND THEY WENT OUT AND
CAME BACK WITH NOTHING.
00:10:45.91\00:10:49.61
AND THE NEXT MORNING-THAT
NIGHT A STORM BLEW IN AND
00:10:49.64\00:10:53.08
THE NEXT MORNING NATHAN
GOT UP AND IT WAS STORMING
00:10:53.11\00:10:56.58
SO BACK THAT HE
COULD HARDLY SEE A THING IN
00:10:56.62\00:10:59.09
FRONT OF HIM AND HE SAID
TO THE LORD, HE SAID, "I'M
00:10:59.12\00:11:02.32
GOING TO GO DOWN
TO THE SHORE ICE".
00:11:02.36\00:11:04.59
NOW IN ALASKA IN THE
WINTER YOU'LL HAVE SHORE
00:11:04.63\00:11:08.60
ICE THAT IS PERMANENT,
YES, IT IS ABOUT 18 OR 20
00:11:08.63\00:11:10.90
FEET THICK.
00:11:10.93\00:11:11.57
YES.
00:11:11.60\00:11:12.50
AND IT GOES OUT ABOUT
USUALLY HALF A MILE OR
00:11:12.53\00:11:14.27
SOMETHING AND THEN
BEYOND THAT IS ICE FLOWS BUT,
00:11:14.30\00:11:18.21
RIGHT, SO HE MADE HIS
WAY DOWN THERE IN THIS
00:11:18.24\00:11:21.21
BLIZZARD AND HE CAME TO
THE EDGE OF THE SHORE AND
00:11:21.24\00:11:24.51
THERE WAS A WALRUS.
00:11:24.55\00:11:25.65
OH WOW.
00:11:25.68\00:11:27.18
AND SO, HE TOLD THE LORD
HE SAID, "THIS IS MY ONLY
00:11:27.22\00:11:30.55
CHANCE" AND HE SHOT THE
WALRUS AND HE RUSHED OVER
00:11:30.59\00:11:35.06
THERE SO IT WOULDN'T
SINK- WELL, YES, HE SHOT IT AND
00:11:35.09\00:11:38.56
IT ROLLED OFF -IT
WAS ROLLING OFF THE ICE.
00:11:38.59\00:11:41.43
OH MY.
00:11:41.46\00:11:42.43
AND WALRUS ARE YOU KNOW
THEY AVERAGE ABOUT A TON
00:11:42.46\00:11:44.77
IN WEIGHT.
00:11:44.80\00:11:45.57
ABSOLUTELY, UP
TO A TON AND A HALF.
00:11:45.60\00:11:46.90
ABSOLUTELY.
00:11:46.94\00:11:47.97
AND THIS THING WAS ROLLING
OFF THE ICE AND HE PRAYED
00:11:48.00\00:11:50.74
AND HE SAID, "LORD STOP IT."
00:11:50.77\00:11:53.38
AND JUST THEN A PIECE
OF ICE FLOW SQUEEZED THE
00:11:53.41\00:11:57.58
WALRUS AND HELD IT RIGHT THERE.
00:11:57.61\00:12:02.08
RIGHT THERE.
00:12:02.12\00:12:03.08
AND HE STARTED CUTTING
OFF, YOU KNOW, BLUBBER AS
00:12:03.12\00:12:07.06
FAST AS HE COULD, YES.
00:12:07.09\00:12:08.72
AND HE CUT AND CUT AND
CUT UNTIL HE GOT A HUGE PILE
00:12:08.76\00:12:13.29
OF WALRUS BLUBBER.
00:12:13.33\00:12:14.30
HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN DOWN
THERE WITH HIS DOGS AND A
00:12:14.36\00:12:18.23
SLED?
00:12:18.27\00:12:18.90
NO!
00:12:18.93\00:12:19.57
HE WAS JUS THERE.
00:12:19.60\00:12:20.24
ALONE.
00:12:20.27\00:12:21.24
HE CUT AND CUT AND CUT
UNTIL HE GOT ENOUGH AND OF
00:12:21.27\00:12:23.64
COURSE, IT WAS SUNDAY
AND ALL THE REST OF THE MEN
00:12:23.67\00:12:25.34
WERE IN CHURCH AND WHEN
HE GOT A PRETTY BIG PILE THE
00:12:25.37\00:12:29.01
ICE FLOW MOVED AND THE
WALRUS SUNK AND SO HE WENT
00:12:29.04\00:12:32.95
BACK TO THE VILLAGE AND
OF COURSE ALL THE MEN CAME
00:12:32.98\00:12:35.95
DOWN AND HE
SHARED IT WITH EVERYBODY.
00:12:35.98\00:12:38.75
AND SO THAT WAS REALLY
THE OPENING WEDGE OF THE
00:12:38.79\00:12:44.53
BEGINNING OF
ADVENTIST WORK THERE.
00:12:44.56\00:12:46.46
UH HUH OH, THAT'S A STORY.
00:12:46.49\00:12:47.76
YES.
00:12:47.76\00:12:48.40
THAT'S A STORY.
00:12:48.43\00:12:49.00
WELL, LET'S TAKE A BREAK.
00:12:49.03\00:12:52.57
THERE -THE KIND OF
MOTIVATION THAT LEADS
00:12:52.60\00:12:56.44
PEOPLE TO REACH OUT
TO OTHERS USUALLY HAPPENS
00:12:56.47\00:12:59.91
BECAUSE OF STORIES LIKE THIS.
00:12:59.94\00:13:02.41
THINGS THAT HAVE
HAPPENED TO US THAT WE WANT TO
00:13:02.44\00:13:04.41
SHARE AND I THINK IT IS
SO CUTE WHAT THEY'VE PUT
00:13:04.45\00:13:08.18
TOGETHER.
00:13:08.22\00:13:09.18
IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT
YET, THIS IS YOUR CHANCE.
00:13:09.22\00:13:11.35
THEY'VE GOT SOME OF
THESE CHILDREN TO HELP TELL THE
00:13:11.39\00:13:14.19
STORY AND IT IS
CALLED BE THE SPARK.
00:13:14.22\00:13:16.16
WATCH CAREFULLY.
00:13:16.19\00:13:17.33
I THINK.
00:13:17.36\00:13:18.19
I NEED TO SPREAD
THE GOSPEL HERE AT HOME.
00:13:18.23\00:13:22.86
WHERE IS THE
10-40 WINDOW ANYWAY?
00:13:22.90\00:13:26.53
THOSE PEOPLE ARE TOO FAR AWAY.
00:13:26.57\00:13:29.10
SOMEONE ELSE CAN
TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS.
00:13:29.14\00:13:31.71
MAYBE THEY COULD JUST WATCH TV.
00:13:31.74\00:13:34.81
NEARLY THREE BILLION
PEOPLE TO REACH, MY HEAD
00:13:34.84\00:13:38.98
HURTS.
00:13:39.01\00:13:39.78
THERE'S NOTHING I
CAN DO, I GIVE UP.
00:13:39.81\00:13:43.65
WHAT'S THE POINT OF TRYING?
00:13:43.69\00:13:46.22
I CAN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:13:46.25\00:13:48.82
ACTUALLY, YOU CAN
MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:13:48.86\00:13:51.93
AND JESUS ASKED YOU
TO GO TO ALL THE WORLD.
00:13:51.96\00:13:57.10
WHERE?
00:13:57.13\00:13:57.77
ALL THE WORLD.
00:13:57.80\00:13:59.17
HOW CAN I GO, I
HAVE COMMITMENTS?
00:13:59.20\00:14:02.87
YOU CAN PRAY.
00:14:02.90\00:14:04.44
YOU CAN VOLUNTEER YOUR TALENTS.
00:14:04.47\00:14:07.01
YOU CAN TELL OTHERS.
00:14:07.04\00:14:09.08
YOU CAN GIVE MONEY TO
SPONSOR BIBLE WORKERS.
00:14:09.11\00:14:13.25
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
ARE SEARCHING FOR HOPE AND
00:14:13.28\00:14:17.39
MEANING.
00:14:17.42\00:14:18.19
BUT THEY WON'T
FIND IT WITHOUT YOU.
00:14:18.22\00:14:21.56
BE THE SPARK.
00:14:21.59\00:14:23.09
LIGHT THE FIRE.
00:14:23.12\00:14:24.66
FINISH THE WORK.
00:14:24.69\00:14:26.23
FINISH THE WORK.
00:14:26.26\00:14:27.76
BE THE SPARK!
00:14:27.76\00:14:29.30
THAT'S A GOOD
PRESENTATION, ISN'T IT?
00:14:29.33\00:14:33.00
AND YOU, IF YOU WOULD
LIKE TO BE A PART OF SPONSORING
00:14:33.03\00:14:36.57
THESE KIND OF STORIES, IF
YOU'D LIKE TO BE A PART OF
00:14:36.60\00:14:40.34
ENCOURAGING PEOPLE-MEN
AND WOMEN AROUND THE WORLD TO
00:14:40.38\00:14:45.01
GO AND TO SHARE THE
STORY OF JESUS YOU CAN DO SO
00:14:45.05\00:14:49.98
THROUGH GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:14:50.02\00:14:51.59
ON YOUR SCREEN, IF YOU
HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET, YOU
00:14:51.62\00:14:53.92
WILL, THERE WILL BE A
PROMOTION WHERE THE NAME
00:14:53.96\00:14:56.73
IS THERE, WHETHER IN
CANADA OR WHETHER IN THE
00:14:56.76\00:14:59.96
UNITED STATES WHERE YOU
CAN SEND YOUR MONEY, WHERE
00:15:00.06\00:15:02.96
YOU CAN CALL, WHERE
YOU CAN SEND AN EMAIL.
00:15:03.00\00:15:05.77
DON'T NEGLECT
TO WRITE THAT DOWN.
00:15:05.80\00:15:07.67
THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO
ENCOURAGE SOMEBODY ELSE.
00:15:07.70\00:15:11.34
LET THE LORD GUIDE
YOU IN YOUR STEWARDSHIP.
00:15:11.37\00:15:14.61
WE'RE BACK WITH KEN
CRAWFORD AND KEN ALL THOSE
00:15:14.64\00:15:18.81
YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
THERE IN ALASKA AND YOU GOT TO
00:15:18.85\00:15:22.42
SEE SOME PEOPLE
WORKING OUT THERE IN THOSE
00:15:22.45\00:15:24.79
VILLAGES AND DO YOU
SEE LEADERS STILL THAT YOU
00:15:24.82\00:15:29.59
WORKED WITH-PEOPLE
WHO GREW UP AS CHILDREN IN
00:15:29.62\00:15:31.73
THESE VILLAGES THAT
ARE STILL LOYAL TO GOD?
00:15:31.76\00:15:34.30
VERY MUCH.
00:15:34.36\00:15:35.30
VERY MUCH AND THAT'S
THE ENCOURAGING THING TO SEE
00:15:35.33\00:15:38.83
THOSE FOLKS THAT COME
FROM A YOUNG AGE AND CONTINUE
00:15:38.87\00:15:42.47
TO BE FAITHFUL AND BECOME
LEADERS AND OF COURSE, THE
00:15:42.50\00:15:46.68
STORIES.
00:15:46.71\00:15:47.64
THE BEAUTIFUL STORIES
OF PEOPLE WHO GAVE THEIR
00:15:47.68\00:15:51.35
HEARTS TO THE LORD
IN A THOUSAND WAYS.
00:15:51.38\00:15:54.48
THAT'S WHAT REALLY
AMAZED ME ABOUT THESE LAST TWO
00:15:54.52\00:15:56.52
DAYS.
00:15:56.55\00:15:57.22
YES.
00:15:57.25\00:15:58.05
OH YES.
00:15:58.09\00:15:58.95
I MEAN WHEN YOU
THINK OF THE THOUSANDS OF
00:15:58.99\00:16:03.39
CONVERSION STORIES FROM
AROUND THE WORLD THAT HAVE
00:16:03.43\00:16:06.90
TAKEN PLACE THAT IS ONE
OF THE BEAUTIES ABOUT THIS
00:16:06.93\00:16:11.03
ORGANIZATION THAT I CAN SEE.
00:16:11.07\00:16:12.97
UH HUH.
00:16:13.00\00:16:13.97
FROM MY FIRST TIME OF
OBSERVATION-TWO THINGS: 1)
00:16:14.00\00:16:16.81
TO THINK THAT THERE IS
AN ORGANIZATION LIKE THIS
00:16:16.84\00:16:21.91
THAT IS COMPLETELY VOLUNTEER.
00:16:21.94\00:16:26.05
I MEAN IN THE OFFICE
HERE THERE MUST BE AT LEAST A
00:16:26.08\00:16:29.45
DOZEN OR FIFTEEN
PEOPLE -INDEED- THAT ARE ALL
00:16:29.48\00:16:32.85
VOLUNTEERING THEIR TIME
TO MAKE THIS ORGANIZATION TO
00:16:32.89\00:16:36.49
WORK.
00:16:36.52\00:16:37.16
RIGHT.
00:16:37.19\00:16:38.16
AND THEN ALL OF THESE
LEADERS FROM THE DIFFERENT
00:16:38.19\00:16:41.16
DISTRICTS ALL AROUND THE WORLD.
00:16:41.20\00:16:43.20
I DIDN'T COUNT HOW MANY
THERE WERE BUT THERE MUST
00:16:43.23\00:16:45.23
HAVE BEEN WHAT TWENTY?
00:16:45.27\00:16:47.60
CLOSE TO TWENTY, YES.
00:16:47.64\00:16:48.87
YES, AND EACH ONE OF
THEM HAD THEIR AREA THAT THEY
00:16:48.90\00:16:52.84
OVERSEE AND THE WORKERS
IN THAT AREA ALL AROUND THE
00:16:52.87\00:16:56.85
WORLD THAT THEY
OVERSEE THAT IN ITSELF IS
00:16:56.88\00:17:00.68
INSPIRATIONAL.
00:17:00.72\00:17:02.15
THE MONEY THAT PEOPLE
DONATE THAT INVEST IN THIS
00:17:02.18\00:17:05.75
DOES NOT PAY THE
SALARIES OF THOSE WHO RUN OUR
00:17:05.79\00:17:09.86
CAMERAS, IT DOESN'T PAY
THE SALARY OF ANY OF US,
00:17:09.89\00:17:13.70
RIGHT.
00:17:13.73\00:17:14.63
THE PEOPLE WORK IN THE
OFFICE WEEK AFTER WEEK.
00:17:14.66\00:17:16.43
THEY DON'T GET A SALARY FOR IT.
00:17:16.46\00:17:18.10
IT'S LIKE WE'RE THESE
RETIREES OR OTHERS WHO
00:17:18.13\00:17:21.74
HAVE AN INCOME
SAY HERE IS MY TIME.
00:17:21.77\00:17:24.91
HERE IS MY TIME.
00:17:24.94\00:17:25.81
IT IS A WONDERFUL STORY.
00:17:25.84\00:17:27.24
SO, THAT PART IS TO
ME VERY INSPIRATIONAL.
00:17:27.28\00:17:31.15
YES.
00:17:31.18\00:17:32.11
AND THEN YOU TAKE THE
OTHER PART OF THAT WHERE
00:17:32.15\00:17:35.08
YOU SEE THE LOCAL WORK
THAT IS GOING ON IN THE
00:17:35.12\00:17:39.25
LOCAL FIELD.
00:17:39.29\00:17:40.26
I JUST GOT BACK A
COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO FROM HO CHI
00:17:40.29\00:17:42.82
MINH CITY.
00:17:42.86\00:17:43.49
OK.
00:17:43.53\00:17:44.43
AND HAD A WONDERFUL
VISIT THERE WITH -I WAS
00:17:44.46\00:17:48.56
TRAVELING WITH A FRIEND
THAT HAS BUSINESSES OVER
00:17:48.60\00:17:51.93
THERE AND I JUST WENT ALONG.
00:17:51.97\00:17:53.34
OK.
00:17:53.37\00:17:54.34
BUT WHEN I WAS THERE I
WANTED TO SEE HOW THE WORK
00:17:54.37\00:17:57.74
IS PROGRESSING IN
VIET NAM-COMMUNIST COUNTRY.
00:17:57.77\00:18:01.31
SURE.
00:18:01.34\00:18:03.28
IT WAS INTERESTING TO
ME THAT THE FIRST SABBATH
00:18:03.31\00:18:05.28
THAT I WAS THERE
ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO OR SO.
00:18:05.31\00:18:08.48
THERE WAS TWO
COMMUNIST OBSERVERS THAT ATTEND
00:18:08.52\00:18:12.52
CHURCH EVERY SABBATH.
00:18:12.55\00:18:13.56
O.K.
00:18:13.59\00:18:14.16
BECAUSE THAT IS THEIR JOB.
00:18:14.19\00:18:15.16
RIGHT THEY'RE COMMUNIST POLICE.
00:18:15.19\00:18:16.62
MAKE SURE THAT
THINGS ARE GOING OK.
00:18:16.66\00:18:19.26
AND THE MEMBERS SHARED
WITH ME THAT ONE OF THEM
00:18:19.29\00:18:23.00
HAD JUST BEEN BAPTIZED
AND THAT THE OTHER ONE WAS
00:18:23.03\00:18:25.70
STUDYING.
00:18:25.73\00:18:27.37
THAT WAS ENCOURAGING IN ITSELF.
00:18:27.40\00:18:29.57
SO, RATHER THAN SEE
THEM AS ENEMIES THEY SAW THEM
00:18:29.60\00:18:31.97
AS POTENTIAL BROTHERS IN CHRIST.
00:18:32.01\00:18:35.14
RIGHT.
00:18:35.18\00:18:35.98
THAT IS WONDERFUL.
00:18:36.01\00:18:37.05
AND THE CHURCH THAT I
WENT TO THERE WAS A DELIGHTFUL
00:18:37.08\00:18:40.95
CHURCH.
00:18:40.98\00:18:42.02
I MEAN YOU COULD SENSE
THE COMMUNITY THAT WAS TAKING
00:18:42.05\00:18:45.12
PLACE AND YOU COULD
SENSE THE -YOU COULD SENSE THE
00:18:45.15\00:18:51.63
-FEEL THE HOLY
SPIRIT IN THAT CHURCH.
00:18:51.66\00:18:53.70
IT JUST FELT GOOD.
00:18:53.73\00:18:55.86
THAT IS WONDERFUL TO FIND
THAT THE SPIRIT IS WORKING
00:18:55.90\00:18:59.03
IN PLACES WE NEVER
EVEN HAVE BEEN BEFORE.
00:18:59.07\00:19:01.44
AND I CAN SEE WHY UM, IN
PLACES LIKE THAT IT WOULD
00:19:01.47\00:19:08.18
BE EASY TO WIN ANYBODY
THAT CAME AND SAT IN THOSE
00:19:08.21\00:19:11.65
PEWS.
00:19:11.68\00:19:12.48
EVEN IF YOU ARE A
COMMUNIST OBSERVER.
00:19:12.51\00:19:14.85
YES.
00:19:14.88\00:19:15.85
BECAUSE THE HEARTS OF
THE PEOPLE JUST WARM THEIR
00:19:15.88\00:19:19.52
HEARTS.
00:19:19.55\00:19:20.46
I-IT REMINDS WE OF
THE PASSAGE WHERE PAUL WAS
00:19:20.49\00:19:23.83
ENCOURAGING HIS, I THINK
THEY WERE IN CORINTH, AND
00:19:23.86\00:19:28.00
HE SAYS, YOU NEED TO
MAKE YOUR CHURCH SO THE PEOPLE
00:19:28.03\00:19:30.53
COME AND PRAISE GOD
FOR WHAT THEY SEE THERE NOT
00:19:30.57\00:19:33.94
THAT THEY ARE PUT OFF
AND SAY WHAT'S GOING ON HERE
00:19:33.97\00:19:36.81
BUT, YES, PRAISE GOD
AND YOU SAW THAT IN ACTION.
00:19:36.84\00:19:40.08
I SAW THAT IN ACTION
AND THE OTHER THING THAT
00:19:40.11\00:19:41.98
AMAZED ME WAS WHEN
WE WERE TALKING WITH THE
00:19:42.01\00:19:44.18
CONFERENCE SECRETARY
THERE-EXECUTIVE SECRETARY
00:19:44.21\00:19:47.95
AND HE WAS TELLING US
THAT THEY HAVE THIRTY PASTORS
00:19:47.98\00:19:52.49
FROM OTHER DENOMINATIONS
THERE THAT HAVE BEEN
00:19:52.52\00:19:55.26
STUDYING AND THAT
TWENTY OF THEM ARE READY TO
00:19:55.29\00:20:01.16
BECOME SEVENTH DAY
ADVENTIST TO GIVE UP THEIR
00:20:01.20\00:20:03.43
JOBS AS A PASTOR AND
THEY'VE ENCOURAGED THEM
00:20:03.47\00:20:09.00
NOT TO YET UNTIL THEY
ARE ABLE TO GET THE FUNDS TO
00:20:09.04\00:20:14.81
BE ABLE TO KEEP THEM IN
THEIR CHURCH-CONTINUE TO
00:20:14.84\00:20:17.25
FUND THEM IN THE CHURCH
SO THAT THEY CAN WIN THE
00:20:17.28\00:20:20.25
FOLKS IN THEIR CHURCH.
00:20:20.28\00:20:21.18
SO, AS LONG AS THEIR
CONGREGATIONS ARE BEING
00:20:21.22\00:20:23.95
NURTURED BY THEM,
THEY WANT THEM THERE.
00:20:23.99\00:20:25.72
AND THEY ARE
STILL SHEPHERDING THEM.
00:20:25.75\00:20:27.59
THEY WANT THEM THERE.
00:20:27.62\00:20:28.56
I'VE KNOWN PEOPLE FROM
DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS
00:20:28.59\00:20:31.69
INCLUDING SEVENTH DAY
ADVENTISTS WHO HAVE BEEN A
00:20:31.73\00:20:34.00
BLESSING IN OTHER CHURCHES
BY SHARING THE LOVE OF THE
00:20:34.00\00:20:37.30
LORD, RIGHT.
00:20:37.33\00:20:38.30
AND IT IS SOUNDS LIKE A
HEALTHY PLAN AND HERE IS
00:20:38.33\00:20:42.34
WHAT I FOUND OUT
TODAY AND YESTERDAY.
00:20:42.37\00:20:45.11
THIS PROGRAM THAT HAS
BEEN INITIATED WHERE YOU ADOPT
00:20:45.14\00:20:51.21
A WORKER.
00:20:51.25\00:20:52.81
OK.
00:20:52.85\00:20:53.98
YOU KNOW, YOU MAKE
THEM PART OF YOUR FAMILY
00:20:54.02\00:20:55.55
BUDGET.
00:20:55.58\00:20:56.52
YES, YOU MAKE THEM
PART OF YOUR FAMILY BUDGET.
00:20:56.55\00:20:57.85
WELL, THE COST OF A
WORKER THERE IN VIET NAM IS $100
00:20:57.89\00:21:02.36
A MONTH.
00:21:02.39\00:21:05.23
$100 A MONTH!
00:21:05.26\00:21:06.96
YES, THAT IS WONDERFUL.
00:21:07.00\00:21:08.10
AND SO, IF YOU'VE GOT
20 PASTORS, UH HUH, AND AT
00:21:08.13\00:21:11.73
$100 A MONTH AND YOU
ARE WILLING TO SPONSOR YOU
00:21:11.77\00:21:15.77
KNOW ONE OR TWO OR THREE
OF THEM, THINK HOW QUICKLY
00:21:15.80\00:21:19.21
THE WORK COULD MOVE
AHEAD WITH SUCH A SMALL
00:21:19.24\00:21:23.81
COMMITMENT.
00:21:23.85\00:21:25.01
YOUR BUDGET IN ALASKA
WAS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT
00:21:25.05\00:21:27.25
THAN THAT, WASN'T IT?
00:21:27.28\00:21:28.98
IT WAS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
00:21:29.02\00:21:31.55
YES -THAT'S ONE OF THE
CHALLENGES OF WORKING IN
00:21:31.59\00:21:35.36
THE FIRST WORLD IS
THAT WE HAVE ALL THESE
00:21:35.39\00:21:38.33
REQUIREMENTS
AND EXPECTATIONS AND
00:21:38.36\00:21:40.73
RETIREMENTS AND ALL
THESE THINGS BUT THERE YOU HAVE
00:21:40.76\00:21:44.00
PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL AT
THE LEVEL WHO ARE WILLING
00:21:44.03\00:21:46.80
TO WORK FOR JUST A LITTLE.
00:21:46.84\00:21:48.90
NOW, I WANT TO
MAKE A COMPARISON THERE.
00:21:48.94\00:21:50.97
OK.
00:21:51.01\00:21:51.97
WHEN YOU AND YOUR WIFE
WENT TO SAVOONGA HOW MUCH
00:21:52.01\00:21:55.88
WERE THEY PAYING YOU A MONTH.
00:21:55.91\00:21:57.15
$82.50.
00:21:57.18\00:21:59.41
$82.50?
00:21:59.45\00:22:01.78
AND YOU AND MY WIFE
AND I -THAT WAS BACK IN THE
00:22:01.82\00:22:03.72
1979-WHEN WE ARRIVED IN
1971, UH HUH, IT WAS $25 A
00:22:03.75\00:22:09.96
MONTH PLUS THE GRUB STEAK
PLUS THE CLOTHING THAT YOU
00:22:09.99\00:22:14.63
NEEDED AND FUEL AND
EVERYTHING LIKE THAT BUT
00:22:14.66\00:22:18.50
THAT WILLINGNESS FOR
THESE MEN AND WOMEN OUT THERE
00:22:18.53\00:22:23.10
AROUND THE WORLD TO
WORK FOR LITTLE BIT AND MAYBE
00:22:23.14\00:22:27.38
THAT SOMEDAY THEY WILL
BE GRAY HAIRED LIKE US.
00:22:27.41\00:22:30.81
WE'D LOVE THE LORD TO
COME BEFORE THAT BUT THAT
00:22:30.85\00:22:33.65
WILLINGNESS TO INVEST
AT THAT TIME OF THEIR LIVES
00:22:33.68\00:22:36.99
IT'S A PRECIOUS
OPPORTUNITY THAT I THINK
00:22:37.02\00:22:39.29
GOD HAS OPENED UP
AND AGAIN I JUST WANT TO
00:22:39.32\00:22:41.99
ENCOURAGE OUR WATCHERS TO
THINK OF WHAT YOU COULD DO
00:22:42.02\00:22:45.73
FOR JUST A LITTLE BIT OF
OUR FUNDS TRANSLATED INTO
00:22:45.76\00:22:50.90
CONTACT WITH PEOPLE.
00:22:50.93\00:22:52.80
CONGREGATIONS LIKE
YOU DESCRIBE IN VIETNAM.
00:22:52.83\00:22:55.64
PLACES WHERE PEOPLE
ARE SAFE; WHERE THEY CAN
00:22:55.67\00:22:58.71
REJOICE AND GROW IN GOD.
00:22:58.74\00:23:00.98
IT'S A GOOD INVESTMENT.
00:23:01.01\00:23:02.98
OH, YES.
00:23:03.01\00:23:04.38
THAT PART HAS BEEN
INSPIRATIONAL TO ME.
00:23:04.41\00:23:07.82
WELL, WHEN YOU THINK OF
WHAT THIS GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:23:07.85\00:23:12.59
IS DOING AND WHETHER YOU
GET INVOLVED OR NOT WE'RE
00:23:12.62\00:23:16.52
GLAD YOU ARE HERE TODAY
AND GLAD YOU ARE SEEING IT
00:23:16.56\00:23:19.63
AND THE-I HAVE A
FEELING THAT WHETHER YOU ARE
00:23:19.66\00:23:25.37
DIRECTLY INVOLVED OR
NOT YOU'RE GOING TO BE A
00:23:25.40\00:23:27.57
SUPPORTER OF GOSPEL
OUTREACH YOURSELF IN SOME
00:23:27.60\00:23:29.67
WAY.
00:23:29.70\00:23:30.71
I'M GOING TO BE MORE
THAN A SUPPORTER I'M GOING TO
00:23:30.74\00:23:32.77
BE A BAND.
00:23:32.81\00:23:33.48
A BAND.
00:23:33.51\00:23:34.48
IT'S REALLY AN INCREDIBLE
ORGANIZATION THAT'S-IT
00:23:34.51\00:23:38.88
SOUNDS LIKE FROM WHAT I
HEARD THIS LAST COUPLE OF
00:23:38.91\00:23:41.92
DAYS THAT IT IS GROWING.
00:23:41.95\00:23:44.35
YES.
00:23:44.39\00:23:45.05
INCREDIBLY.
00:23:45.09\00:23:45.72
YES.
00:23:45.75\00:23:46.76
AS THEY REACH OUT TO ALL
OF THESE DIFFERENT WORKERS
00:23:46.79\00:23:49.72
ALL AROUND THE WORLD.
00:23:49.76\00:23:50.93
EVEN IN A LOT OF
THE MUSLIM COUNTRIES.
00:23:50.96\00:23:54.10
WELL, INTERESTINGLY THOSE
OF YOU WHO MIGHT BE NEW TO
00:23:54.13\00:23:57.23
GOSPEL OUTREACH MAY NOT
REALIZE THAT IT'S ORIGINAL
00:23:57.27\00:24:00.90
FOCUS HAS REMAINED THE SAME.
00:24:00.94\00:24:03.37
IT IS WHAT THEY CALL
THE 10/40 WINDOW AROUND THE
00:24:03.41\00:24:08.21
EQUATOR OF CULTURES
THAT HAVE TRADITIONALLY NOT
00:24:08.24\00:24:13.92
BEEN TOUCHED BY THE
MESSAGE OF JESUS CHRIST.
00:24:13.95\00:24:16.08
NOW, I HEARD THE LAST
COUPLE OF DAYS WHAT THE
00:24:16.12\00:24:20.32
PERCENTAGE OF THE
WORLD POPULATION IS IN THAT
00:24:20.36\00:24:22.76
10/40 WINDOW.
00:24:22.79\00:24:24.06
HOW MUCH WAS
THAT DO YOU REMEMBER?
00:24:24.09\00:24:25.73
OH MY- NO, I DO NOT.
00:24:25.76\00:24:28.30
IT WAS A HUGE
AMOUNT IN THE BILLIONS.
00:24:28.33\00:24:30.57
WELL, IF YOU INCLUDE AND
WE DO HAVE SOME VOLUNTEERS
00:24:30.60\00:24:34.64
WORKING IN CHINA, I
BELIEVE, YES SO IF YOU
00:24:34.67\00:24:37.21
INCLUDE CHINA I
MEAN YOU HAVE SUCH A HUGE
00:24:37.24\00:24:39.81
PERCENTAGE OF THE
WORLD RIGHT THERE.
00:24:39.84\00:24:41.24
RIGHT.
00:24:41.28\00:24:41.91
WHAT IS IT?
00:24:41.94\00:24:42.88
WHAT ARE THEY NOW 6
BILLION, 7 BILLION, RIGHT
00:24:42.91\00:24:45.25
AND TWO BILLION AT LEAST.
00:24:45.28\00:24:47.25
INDIA ITSELF, I BELIEVE
HAS A BILLION AND A HALF
00:24:47.28\00:24:52.42
AND SO THERE, YOU
KNOW IT'S A HUGE AMOUNT OF
00:24:52.45\00:24:57.73
PEOPLE.
00:24:57.76\00:24:58.33
MANY OF THEM WHO LOVE GOD.
00:24:58.36\00:25:02.70
WHO WANT TO PLEASE GOD.
00:25:02.73\00:25:05.37
WHO WANT TO LIVE A LIFE FOR GOD.
00:25:05.40\00:25:08.70
YES.
00:25:08.74\00:25:09.67
AND HAVE NOT KNOWN HOW
BUT THE GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:25:09.70\00:25:14.21
WORKERS ARE PRESENTING
THEM WITH A PICTURE OF GOD
00:25:14.24\00:25:18.48
THAT IS ATTRACTING
THEM AND GIVING THEM A WHOLE
00:25:18.51\00:25:22.28
NEW LEASE ON
THEIR FAITH JOURNEY.
00:25:22.32\00:25:23.95
SOME OF THEM WE MIGHT
NO RECOGNIZE BUT THEY ARE
00:25:23.99\00:25:28.99
FINDING THEMSELVES
AS FELLOWSHIPS ON THE
00:25:29.02\00:25:33.70
SABBATH.
00:25:33.73\00:25:35.13
YES, THEY HAVE FOUND
THAT NO MATTER WHAT THEIR
00:25:35.16\00:25:37.27
RELIGIOUS BACKGROUND.
00:25:37.30\00:25:38.07
IT IS QUITE AMAZING.
00:25:38.10\00:25:39.40
YES.
00:25:39.43\00:25:40.27
WE WERE HEARING
SOME STORIES EARLIER THIS
00:25:40.30\00:25:44.11
MORNING ABOUT JUST
SOME GARMENT WORKERS WHO HAD
00:25:44.14\00:25:47.91
FOUND THE LOVE OF GOD
IN THEIR LIVES AND REALIZED
00:25:47.94\00:25:51.18
THAT THEIR BOSSES WERE
NOT ALL THAT INTERESTED IN
00:25:51.21\00:25:54.08
GIVING THEM A DAY OFF
AND NEVER THE LESS GOD OPENED
00:25:54.12\00:25:59.59
DOORS FOR THEM TO FIND
A WAY TO CONTINUE GROWING
00:25:59.62\00:26:04.96
THEIR FAITH WITH THE
SABBATH REST THAT GOD HAS
00:26:04.99\00:26:08.43
GIVEN.
00:26:08.46\00:26:09.43
IT IS AN AMAZING
PRIVILEGE TO HEAR THESE STORIES.
00:26:09.46\00:26:12.17
WE CAN'T GO INTO ALL OF
THOSE BUT I WANT TO THANK
00:26:12.20\00:26:16.10
YOU KEN, FOR YOUR WORK
THERE IN ALASKA AND OTHER
00:26:16.14\00:26:19.97

I WANT TO THANK YOU

TO BE OUT THERE I SAVOONGA
YOURSELF, DIDN'T HURT THAT
00:26:29.98\00:26:32.82
AT ALL.
00:26:32.85\00:26:33.49
NO.
00:26:33.52\00:26:34.46
YOU COULD LOOK AT THE
YOUNG PEOPLE WHO GO OUT
00:26:34.49\00:26:36.76
THERE NOW OR THE OLDER
PEOPLE WHO VOLUNTEER FOR
00:26:36.79\00:26:38.73
THAT AND YOU
COULD ENCOURAGE THEM.
00:26:38.76\00:26:40.86
YES.
00:26:40.90\00:26:41.40
WHAT A BLESSING THAT IS.
00:26:41.43\00:26:43.16
WELL, AS WE ARE
WRAPPING DOWN HERE AGAIN I

SIT DOWN- YOU AND
YOUR FAMILY AND JUST DECIDE
00:26:51.17\00:26:53.61
JUST HOW GOD WANTS
YOU TO BE STEWARDS OF THE
00:26:53.64\00:26:56.75
RESOURCES THAT YOU HAVE.
00:26:56.78\00:26:58.65
DON'T LET HIM DOWN.

THIS WORLD

00:27:00.18\00:27:05.22
[CLOSING MUSIC].
00:27:52.80\00:27:57.87
