00:15 WELCOME TO "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS" AT GOSPEL 00:16 OUTREACH. 00:17 I'M JULIE SANDERS-KEYMER AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 00:19 WATCHING. 00:20 THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS. 00:22 THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATIONS. 00:23 THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING US ON SOCIAL MEDIA, ON 00:26 FACEBOOK, ON INSTAGRAM AND IT IS ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO 00:29 HAVE YOU HERE WITH US. 00:31 AND TODAY WE ARE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT A 00:34 FANTASTIC TOPIC IN INDIA BUT IWANT TO ASK YOU A 00:37 QUESTION. 00:38 WHEN YOU LOOK AT A SIGN DO YOU EVER THINK ABOUT THE 00:42 FACT THAT YOU CAN READ IT? 00:43 THE FACT THAT YOU CAN SOUND OUT THE LETTERS AND 00:45 THAT YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS? 00:48 AND WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT LITERACY 00:50 TODAY. 00:51 SO, I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT THAT AND BEV 00:52 THOMPSON IS HERE WITH US AT "ADVENTURES IN 00:54 MISSIONS" AND BEV DO WE TAKE THE TIME TO THINK HOW 00:58 BLESSED WE ARE THAT WE CAN READ? 00:59 I DON'T THINK WE DO BECAUSE IT JUST COMES 01:02 NATURALLY. 01:03 OUR PARENTS SENT US TO SCHOOL AND WE LEARNED AND 01:06 IT IS PART OF OUR BEING. 01:07 WE ARE VISUAL LEARNERS. 01:10 WE ARE AND WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO HAVE EDUCATION 01:13 HERE IN THE WESTERN PART OF THE WORLD BUT IN THE 01:16 10/40 WINDOW THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS EXTRA 01:19 SPECIAL FOR MANY PEOPLE. 01:20 YES, IT IS BECAUSE MANY TIMES THE PARENTS THINK IF 01:24 I SEND MY KID TO SCHOOL IT TAKES THAT WORK TIME AWAY 01:29 FROM MANAGING THE PADDY FIELDS AND IF THEY GO TO 01:33 SCHOOL THE GOVERNMENT TEACHES THEM BUT WHEN THEY 01:37 GET DONE THEY DON'T GIVE THEM WORK SO WHY SHOULD I 01:41 SEND MY KID TO SCHOOL? 01:42 YES, SO THERE'S KIND OF A TUG OF WAR BETWEEN 01:46 PROGRESSING IN LIFE AND YET AT THE SAME TIME THE 01:49 FACTS OF WELL, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE 01:51 MONEY TO FEED OUR FAMILY. 01:53 AND THE PHENOMENON OF LEARNING VISUALLY IS 02:00 SOMETIMES GRASPED BY THOSE WHO MISSED OUT AND 02:04 SOMETIMES IT IS NOT. 02:06 YES. 02:07 AND SO, WE CALL THEM IN OUR TEACHING OF THESE 02:12 PEOPLE AUDIOLEARNERS VERSUS VISUAL LEARNERS BUT 02:16 WE ARE ALL LEARNERS. 02:18 YES, ABSOLUTELY. 02:19 SO, YOU ARE ONE OF THE REGIONAL DIRECTORS FOR 02:22 INDIA AND WE ARE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT LITERACY 02:25 AND I KNOW THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL TOPIC FOR YOU. 02:27 YES. 02:28 AND IT IS SPECIAL BECAUSE WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH 02:31 WORKING TOGETHER WITH OUR LITERACY PROGRAM WE HAVE 02:34 WONDERFUL RESULTS AND MANY FAMILIES COME TO JESUS 02:38 CHRIST AND MANY TIMES IN INDIA WHEN YOU BRING ONE 02:41 PERSON, A YOUNG PERSON, THEY HAVE TO LEAVE THEIR 02:44 HOME. 02:45 THEY ARE OSTRACIZED FROM THEIR FAMILY BUT WHEN YOU 02:47 BRING THE FAMILY TO JESUS CHRIST OR AN OLDER PERSON 02:50 TO JESUS CHRIST THEN THE REST OF THEM WILL FOLLOW. 02:54 SO, IT IS THE BASIS HERE OF WHAT WE ARE TALKING 02:57 ABOUT. 02:58 BUT THAT IS THE GOOD NEWS BEV AND THAT'S THE GOOD 03:01 NEWS THAT WE HAVE IN THE BIBLE AND THAT'S WHAT 03:03 JESUS HAS ASKED US TO SHARE TO GO AND TO DO 03:06 THESE THINGS. 03:07 THAT'S RIGHT. 03:08 SO, SHARE WITH US THE LITERACY PROGRAM IN YOUR 03:10 AREA OF INDIA. 03:12 YES, THE LITERACY PROGRAM THAT GOSPEL OUTREACH HAS 03:15 SET UP IS THAT WHERE WE WILL PAY A FULL SALARY FOR 03:20 THE FIRST YEAR. 03:23 AFTER THE FIRST YEAR WE PAY 75 PER CENT AND AFTER 03:27 THE SECOND YEAR WE PAY 50 PER CENT OF THE SALARY AND 03:31 AFTER THE THIRD YEAR WE PAY 25 PER CENT OF THE 03:35 SALARY. 03:36 SO, IT IS LOOKING AT THE MONETARY SYSTEM BY SAYING 03:41 WE'LL GRADUALLY PETER OUT-GRADUALLY NOT BE PART 03:45 OF IT BUT BY THAT TIME THEY WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE 03:49 OFF WITH THE PROGRAM ON THEIR OWN. 03:51 THIS IS A CHURCH LOCATED PROJECT. 03:54 THE CHURCH MEMBERS WANT A SCHOOL AND THEY'VE TALKED 03:58 SOMEONE INTO BUILDING A SCHOOL OR THEY'VE HELPED 04:00 TO BUILD A SCHOOL NEXT TO THE CHURCH AND THEY HAVE 04:04 TRIED MEMBERS SUPPORTING A TEACHER BY GIVING RICE, 04:09 SAY A HANDFUL OF RICE EVERY DAY FROM THEIR OWN 04:12 RICE MEASURE AND THEN GIVING TO THE GOSPEL 04:16 OUTREACH WORKER OR TO THE VOLUNTEER TEACHER SOME 04:21 RICE BUT YOU KNOW IT IS NOT ENOUGH. 04:24 NO, IT IS NOT ENOUGH AND THAT'S WONDERFUL THE FACT 04:27 THAT THEY ARE GIVING THEIR TITHE AND THEIR OFFERING 04:29 AND THE FACT THAT THE CHURCH IS WANTING TO MAKE 04:32 THIS COMMITMENT THAT THEY HAVE A SCHOOL-BEV, THAT'S 04:34 HUGE. 04:35 THE THING IS TOO, WE HAVE AN ADVENTIST SCHOOL THAT 04:39 TEACHES FIVE DAYS A WEEK WHEREAS THE GOVERNMENT 04:43 SCHOOLS TEACH SIX DAYS A WEEK AND SOME SCHOOLS SAY 04:48 WE TEACH SIX DAYS A WEEK BUT WE GO TO SABBATH 04:50 SCHOOL ON SABBATH. 04:53 AH, SO THEN THERE IS ANOTHER INCENTIVE FOR THE 04:55 STUDENTS. 04:56 UH HUH. 04:57 SO, TELL US, GIVE US AN IDEA OF HOW MUCH IS 05:01 TUITION AT SOME OF THESE SCHOOLS. 05:02 YES, WELL MANY OF THESE SCHOOLS HAVE NO TUITION 05:06 BUT SOMETIMES WHEN THEY DO CHARGE TUITION THEY START 05:10 OUT WITH $2 A MONTH. 05:12 TWO DOLLARS A MONTH, OK SO LET'S THINK OF THAT $2 A 05:14 MONTH YOU CAN GO TO A CONVENIENCE STORE AND 05:17 THAT'S ABOUT THE PRICE OF A LARGE BOTTLE OF WATER OR 05:21 IF YOU GO TO TACOBELL AND GET A COUPLE OF BURRITOS. 05:23 SO HERE THEY ARE SPENDING THAT FOR A WHOLE MONTH AND 05:27 IS THAT EXPENSIVE FOR THEM? 05:29 VERY. 05:30 VERY EXPENSIVE FOR THEM AND THIS IS WHY SOMETIMES 05:33 IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR PARENTS WHO DO NOT SEE A 05:36 CONNECTION BETWEEN WORK AND YES, STUDYING THAT 05:40 THEY DON'T ALWAYS SEE THE VALUE. 05:42 THEY QUESTION IT. 05:44 YES, YES. 05:45 WELL, TELL US MORE BEV. 05:46 OK, THIS PICTURE THAT WE JUST HAD ON THE SCREEN 05:48 ---CHUMPABIHA-THIS WAS A CHURCH IN 1980 IT WAS MUD 05:54 BRICK AND MUD CHINSING AND IT SERVED AS A CHURCH FOR 05:59 THIRTY YEARS AND THEN MARANATHA CAME AND BUILT 06:03 ANOTHER CHURCH RIGHT ACROSS THE WAY FROM THEM 06:06 THERE AND I'D LIKE YOU JUST TO SEE THIS CHURCH 06:10 NOW WHICH IS A SCHOOL. 06:11 A SCHOOL FOR 84 CHILDREN IF YOU CAN IMAGINE. 06:15 OK AND INSIDE WE ARE GOING TO SEE DIRT FLOOR AND TELL 06:24 ME ABOUT THE TEACHERS WHO WORK HERE. 06:26 THE TEACHERS HERE ARE NOT QUALIFIED TEACHERS. 06:28 THEY ARE CHURCH MEMBERS THAT WANT TO SEE EDUCATION 06:31 FOR THE CHILDREN. 06:33 AND HERE WE ARE INSIDE-INSIDE AND THE DIRT 06:35 FLOOR AND YOU CAN SEE THE BLACKBOARDS ON THE WALL 06:38 AND YOU HAVE TO THINK OF AN IMAGINARY LINE DRAWN 06:40 BETWEEN THEM AND THIS SEPARATES NURSERY SCHOOL 06:43 FROM KINDERGARTEN 1 FROM KINDERGARTEN 2 IN THE MAIN 06:47 ROOM AND THEN YOU GO INTO THE BACK ROOMS. 06:50 FIRST, I'D LIKE YOU TO SEE THIS CHURCH NOW WHEN YOU 06:52 LOOK BACK THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND YOU SEE THAT 06:57 LITTLE BIT OF A BLIP, YES, IT'S A STAIRCASE, OH MY! 07:04 THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AND I KNOW I HAD TO HANG 07:08 ON TO A WALL TO MAKE SURE THAT I DIDN'T SLIP AND 07:10 FALL, YES, YES. 07:11 BUT THAT'S THIS STAIRCASE THAT NEEDED REPAIR AND THE 07:15 BACK ANTEROOM-VERY SMALL BUT THEY MIGHT SQUEEZE IN 07:18 A DOZEN TO FIFTEEN STUDENTS ALL ON THE FLOOR, 07:21 ALL ON THE FLOOR. 07:22 WE DON'T SEE A CLOCK; WE DON'T SEE DESKS; WE DON'T 07:25 SEE CHAIRS. 07:25 RIGHT. 07:26 AND THEN IN THE CHURCH THIS IS THE ANTEROOM WHERE 07:30 THEY ARE STORING THE TITHE AND OFERINGS OF THE 07:33 PEOPLE. 07:34 THE LADIES HAVE BROUGHT IN LITTLE PLASTIC SACKS THEIR 07:37 HANDFULS OF RICE THAT THEY SAVED ALL WEEK TO BRING TO 07:40 DUMP INTO THE OFFERING PLATE. 07:42 AND WILL THEY USE THIS THEN TO FEED THE CHILDREN? 07:45 WILL THEY SELL IT? 07:46 THEY WILL SELL IT TO GIVE IT TO THE CHURCH AS TITHE 07:50 AND THE MONETARY SYSTEM, YOU CAN SEE THERE IS 07:52 DIFFERENT KINDS OF RICE THERE. 07:54 THEY HAVE MADE SPECIAL PREPARATIONS FOR THE RICE. 07:58 IT'S BEEN BOILED AND DRIED AND READY TO SERVE AND IT 08:04 IS VERY SPECIALTY RICE BUT THE BIG STACK THERE -THIS 08:09 WILL PROBABLY GO INTO TWO ONE HUNDRED KILO SACKS AND 08:13 THEY WILL SELL IT IN THE MARKET FOR THE BEST PRICE 08:16 THEY CAN GET AND TURN IT IN AS TITHE. 08:18 WOW! 08:21 WE HAD A DONATION FOR THIS CHURCH AND WE LET THE 08:24 CHURCH MEMBERS DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH THE DONATION 08:27 AND THEY DECIDED THAT THEY WANTED TO MAKE DOORS OUT 08:31 OF THE WINDOWS SO THAT THEY CAN MAKE SEPARATE 08:35 CLASSROOMS, OH REALLY? 08:36 AND SO, THEY HAD TO BUILD UP A LITTLE BIT IN FRONT 08:39 OF THE WINDOWS, UH HUH, SO THAT THEREWOULD BE SPACE 08:41 FOR THEDOORS AND THEY CAN GO IN. 08:43 SO, THIS IS LIKE A WORKBEE AT THE SCHOOL. 08:46 RIGHT. 08:46 THESE ARE ALL THE CHURCHMEMBERS WHO HAVE 08:48 COME TOGETHER TO HELP. 08:48 CHURCH MEMBERS DOING THE WORK. 08:50 O.K. 08:50 AND IT IS NOT JUST THE MEN. 08:51 THE LADIES ARE THERE TOO. 08:53 YES, LOOK AT THEM. 08:54 THEY ARE CARRYING THE MUD IN ON THEIR HEADS BECAUSE 08:55 THEY ARE GOING TO BE BUILDING ON THE INSIDE A 08:58 WALL INSTEAD OF THE IMAGINARY WALL. 09:01 RIGHT, SO WE SEE THE BLACKBOARDS ON THE OTHER 09:03 SIDE AND HERE ARE THE STUDENTS. 09:04 YES. 09:05 AND THE CHILDREN ARE SITTING ON THEIR LITTLE 09:08 GUNNYSACKS THAT THEY BRING FROM HOME AND THIS IS 09:11 THEIR CHAIR FOR SCHOOL. 09:13 CAN YOU IMAGINE? 09:16 NOW I WANT TO TAKE YOU TO ANOTHER SCHOOL BUT TO ME 09:18 THIS IS THE MASCOT OF THIS VILLAGE NARINA BECAUSE 09:21 THERE IS COWS AND BUFFALO ALL OVER. 09:24 IT IS THEIR SIGN OF WEALTH BECAUSE THESE ARE LIKE 09:27 INDENTURED SLAVES OR SERVANTS AND THEY DON'T 09:31 GET ANY OTHER WAY TO SHOW WHAT THEY HAVE INVESTED IN 09:36 AND ON TOP OF THAT THESE ARE THEIR IDOLS BUT WE 09:39 TURN THE CORNER AND LOOK AT HERE-THE STUDENTS ARE 09:42 LINED UP SINGING SONGS KNOWING THAT I'M GOING TO 09:44 BE COMING AROUND THE CORNER ANY MOMENT AND I 09:47 CAN HEAR THEM SINGING AND THE TEACHERS ARE OUT THERE 09:50 WITH THEM BUT LOOK AT THAT LINEUP AND YOU SEE ALL OF 09:52 THESE BLUE UNIFORMS BUT YOU SEE A LOT OF KIDS WITH 09:55 NO UNIFORM. 09:55 YES, SO TELL US ABOUT THAT. 09:57 THOSE KIDS I CALL THEM THE WANNABE STUDENTS. 10:01 OH, SO THEY JUST COME. 10:02 THEY ARE NOT PAYING TUITION THEY JUST COME. 10:05 AND THEY WANT TO BE STUDENTS AND SO THEY COME 10:08 FOR WHEN I COME SO I CAN SEE THEM AND THEN THEY CAN 10:12 SAY, "I WANT TO GO TO YOUR SCHOOL TOO". 10:14 WHAT WAS DIFFERENT THIS TIME IS THE LADIES WERE 10:17 INSIDE WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS SINGING 10:21 CHRISTIAN SONGS. 10:22 THESE ARE THE HINDU LADIES FROM THAT VILLAGE SINGING 10:26 CHRISTIAN SONGS WITH THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS 10:28 AND THEIR CHILDREN WERE OUTSIDE SINGING. 10:31 NOW, THEY'VE COME INSIDE AND YOU CAN SEE THOSE WITH 10:33 UNIFORMS THAT PROBABLY GET A PRIORITY PLACE TO SIT. 10:37 THERE ARE STILL A LOT OF WANNABE STUDENTS IN THAT 10:41 CROWD. 10:42 BEV, WE WANT INCLUDE EVERY CHILD. 10:45 OH YES! 10:46 IF WE COULD ONLY HAVE HALF OF THOSE ONES THAT WANT TO 10:51 BE STUDENTS, YES, AND THIS SHOWS A GROUP OF GIRLS 10:55 THAT DID A SPECIAL DRAMA FOR ME THAT THEY HAVE DONE 10:59 FOR THEIR STUDENTS AND FOR THE VILLAGE AND IT IS 11:02 AGAINST ALCOHOL USE. 11:03 GOOD. 11:04 ALCOHOL IS A HORRIBLE PROBLEM AROUND THE WORLD 11:07 YET THESE GIRLS HAVE SHOWN THE PROBLEM AND TRIED TO 11:10 EMPHASIZE "DON'T USE ALCOHOL". 11:12 THIS YOUNG MAN IS REPEATING THE TEN 11:15 COMMANDMENTS FROM EXODUS 20:1-17. 11:21 WHAT A BLESSING IT IS TO SEE THEM REPEAT THE TEN 11:25 COMMANDMENTS AND HAVE IT WRITTEN IN THEIR MINDS AND 11:27 I BELIEVE IT CAN BE A GUIDE FOR THE REST OF 11:29 THEIR LIVES. 11:30 YES. 11:31 I WANT TO SHOW YOU THIS OTHER SCHOOL DOWN THERE IT 11:34 SAYS MEDIUM ENGLISH. 11:35 YES, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? 11:37 IT MEANS THAT THEY USE ENGLISH TO TEACH. 11:39 OH, SO IT IS AN ENGLISH SCHOOL -SCHOOL IN ENGLISH. 11:42 AND WHEN THEY SEE THAT MANY TIMES PARENTS ARE 11:45 WILLING TO PAY A FEE BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT 11:48 ENGLISH IS A MEDIUM OF LEARNING ESPECIALLY IN 11:52 UPPER GRADES AND SO IF THEY LEARN IT IN THE 11:53 YOUNGER GRADES THEN THEY WILL BE READY FOR THE 11:56 UPPER GRADES. 11:57 WHEN WE WENT TO THIS SCHOOL THEY WERE GOING TO 12:00 HAVE A RALLY AND AT THE RALLY THEY PUT A BUNCH OF 12:05 MATERIAL UP AND MADE IT VERY DECORATIVE. 12:09 IT IS -THEY CALL IT A PONGAL WHERE THEY WILL 12:12 HAVE SPECIAL MEETINGS LIKE THIS. 12:14 IT LOOKS LIKE THE TABERNACLE IN THE 12:15 WILDERNESS. 12:16 DOESN'T IT? 12:17 IT IS THE WILDERNESS ALL RIGHT. 12:19 BUT IT RAINED AND WE HAD TO MOVE INSIDE AND IT WAS 12:23 SO CROWDED AND THE PEOPLE WERE SO COLD. 12:25 THERE WAS AN OPENING BETWEEN TWO ROOMS THAT 12:28 WERE CROWDED WITH PEOPLE SITTING ON THE FLOOR LIKE 12:30 THIS AND ONE PERSON COULD TALK TO BOTH ROOMS FILLED 12:33 WITH PEOPLE AT THE SAME TIME. 12:35 AT A BREAK OUTSIDE THIS LITTLE BOY WAS GOING TO 12:39 THE MURAL THAT WAS HANGING FROM THE PONDAL WALL AND 12:43 IT PICTURES OF THE LIFE OF JESUS ON IT AND THERE YOU 12:48 CAN SEE THE UPPER LEFT CORNER - IT IS JESUS ON 12:51 THE CROSS AND THIS LITTLE BOY IS EXPLAINING TO THE 12:55 NONCHRISTIAN BOY ABOUT JESUS AND THEN THE NEXT IS 13:00 ABOUT JESUS IN TOMB AND THEN HIM RISING AGAIN AND 13:05 IT WAS JUST THRILLING TO SEE THIS LITTLE BOY WHO 13:07 HAD BEEN TO OUR CHRISTIAN SCHOOL EXPLAINING THIS TO 13:10 THE LITTLE BOY WHO WAS NOT CHRISTIAN. 13:12 OUT OF THE MOUTH OF BABES, BEV. 13:15 WELL AND WE JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO BE A PART 13:18 OF GOSPEL OUTREACH HERE AS YOU ARE LEARNING MORE 13:21 ABOUT THE LITERACY PROGRAM YOU TOO CAN GET INVOLVED 13:23 AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU WOULD DO THAT. 13:25 I NEED TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL HERE AT HOME. 13:31 WHERE IS THE 10/40 WINDOW ANYWAY? 13:35 THOSE PEOPLE ARE TOO FAR AWAY. 13:38 SOMEONE ELSE CAN TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS. 13:40 MAYBE THEY COULD JUST WATCH TV? 13:43 NEARLY THREE BILLION PEOPLE TO REACH, MY HEAD 13:48 HURTS. 13:48 THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO, I GIVE UP. 13:53 WHAT'S THE POINT OF TRYING? 13:55 I CAN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE. 13:58 ACTUALLY, YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND JESUS ASKED 14:03 YOU TO GO TO ALL THE WORLD. 14:06 WHERE? 14:07 ALL THE WORLD. 14:09 HOW CAN I GO I HAVE COMMITMENTS? 14:12 YOU CAN PRAY. 14:14 YOU CAN VOLUNTEER YOUR TALENTS. 14:17 YOU CAN TELL OTHERS. 14:19 YOU CAN GIVE MONEY TO SPONSOR BIBLE WORKERS. 14:22 MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE SEARCHING FOR HOPE AND 14:24 MEANING BUT THEY WON'T FIND IT WITHOUT YOU. 14:27 BE THE SPARK. 14:29 LIGHT THE FIRE. 14:31 FINISH THE WORK. 14:33 FINISH THE WORK. 14:36 BE THE SPARK. 14:39 AND WE ARE ALL CALLED TO BE THE SPARK. 14:41 WE ARE ALL CALLED TO SHARE JESUS AND WE WANT TO 14:43 ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO THAT WHEREVER YOU LIVE AND WE 14:46 WOULD INVITE YOU TO PARTNER WITH US HERE AT 14:48 GOSPEL OUTREACH TO DO THAT HERE AS GOSPEL OUTREACH 14:52 WORKERS SHARE JESUS. 14:53 WE HAVE A NEWSLETTER THAT WE'D BE HAPPY TO SEND TO 14:56 YOU AND YOU CAN GO TO OUR WEBSITE FOR MORE 14:58 INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO SIGN UP AND PLEASE FOLLOW 15:01 US, "LIKE" US ON FACEBOOK AND FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM 15:04 BECAUSE WE HAVE GREAT INFORMATION THERE AS WELL. 15:07 SO, BEV, SPEAKING ABOUT READING A NEWSLETTER AND 15:10 THINGS LIKE THAT, READING THE BIBLE WE ARE TALKING 15:12 ABOUT LITERACY IN YOUR AREA OF INDIA AND WHAT A 15:16 MOVING TO SEE THESE GREAT PHOTOS OF THESE PRECIOUS 15:19 CHILDREN WHO ARE COMING TO SCHOOL AND THEY WANT TO 15:21 LEARN. 15:22 WELL, I'LL TELL YOU IT REALLY TOUCHES MY HEART 15:23 WHEN I SEE IT TOO. 15:24 WE HAD A PICTURE OF MOHAMMADPUR HERE AND WHEN 15:29 I ARRIVED THERE THESE CHILDREN ARE LINED UP 15:34 READY TO GREET ME AND WE GO DOWN AND SHAKE HANDS 15:37 WITH EVERY CHILD THERE AND THEY GIVE ME GARLANDS 15:39 ABOUT A HALF DOZEN GARLANDS TILL IT IS HEAVY 15:42 THEN WE GO INSIDE THE CHURCH. 15:43 I WANTED YOU TO SEE-LOOK AT ALL THE SLIPPERS. 15:46 EVERYONE WHO HAS GONE IN THE CHURCH HAS LEFT THEIR 15:49 SHOES OUTSIDE TO BE ON HOLY GROUND. 15:53 INSIDE THEY LINE UP SO BEAUTIFULLY. 15:56 THE GIRLS ON ONE SIDE THE BOYS ON THE OTHER BUT 15:58 SOMETIMES THEY SET THE BOYS BEHIND- THE BIG BOYS 16:01 BEHIND THE GIRLS BECAUSE THERE ARE LESS GIRLS THAN 16:04 BOYS GOING TO SCHOOL THERE. 16:05 NOW THIS LOOKS LIKE A DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENT HERE 16:07 FROM THE OTHER SCHOOL THAT WE LOOKED AT SO THE KIDS 16:10 -THERE ARE MORE CHILDREN AND THERE ARE MORE 16:12 UNIFORMS AND SO TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE 16:15 ECONOMIC SITUATION HERE. 16:16 OH YES! 16:17 MOHAMMADPUR HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE FOR ABOUT FIVE 16:21 TO SEVEN YEARS AND THEY HAVE A BOARDING SCHOOL 16:24 HERE AND THE PEOPLE DO PAY MORE MONEY TO GO TO THIS 16:28 SCHOOL BUT THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TEACHERS AND THE 16:35 CHILDREN ARE NOT PAYING SUFFICIENT TO MAKE THAT 16:38 DIFFERENCE AND SO THE TEACHERS ARE STILL NOT 16:41 GETTING A LIVING SALARY. 16:42 THEY ARE GETTING A PARTIAL SALARY YOU MIGHT SAY AND 16:47 SO WE'RE HOPING THAT WE CAN GET SOME HELP SO THAT 16:50 THEY CAN GET MORE EMPHASIS TO GET MORE STUDENTS AND 16:54 MORE TEACHERS THAT ARE QUALIFIED SO THAT WE CAN 16:56 HAVE A GREAT SCHOOL HERE. 16:57 AND AGAIN, THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS TEACH 16:59 MORALS. 17:00 YES, AND IT IS REALLY THE BIBLE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS 17:01 AND STORIES FROM THE BIBLE THAT BRING OUT MORALS THAT 17:02 WE WANT THE CHILDREN TO FOLLOW. 17:03 THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER GOES TO EVERY HOME AT 17:04 LEAST QUARTERLY IF NOT MONTHLY TO VISIT THE 17:18 FAMILIES AND TELL THEM THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT 17:21 WE ARE TEACHING YOUR CHILDREN AND WOULD YOU 17:23 LIKE TO LEARN MORE? 17:25 WE ARE GETTING BIBLE STUDIES GIVEN TO THEM THIS 17:27 WAY. 17:28 THAT IS FANTASTIC AND SO TO MAKE IT CLEAR THOUGH 17:31 THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS ARE BEING 17:33 SUPPORTED FROM GOSPEL OUTREACH. 17:36 THE CHURCH IS NOT PAYING FOR THE GOSPEL OUTREACH 17:38 WORKERS TO DO THAT, IS THAT CORRECT? 17:40 NOBODY IS PAYING ANYTHING IT IS ENTIRELY UP TO THE 17:42 CHURCH MEMBERS AND ANY STUDENT THAT COMES THERE 17:45 BUT THESE PEOPLE ARE VERY POOR ESPECIALLY IN THIS 17:48 AREA. 17:49 THIS IS THE POOREST STATE IN THE LAND OF INDIA. 17:52 THE INTERNET TOLD ME THAT TOO. 17:54 WOW! 17:55 BUT HERE WE SEE OUR DEAR STUDENTS, THE BOARDING 17:59 STUDENTS THAT IT IS JUST THE CRACK OF DAWN JUST 18:02 BEFORE SUNRISE AND THEY ARE OUT SINGING SONGS. 18:06 I GET UP TO SEE THIS HAPPENING. 18:09 YES, AND TO HEAR IT. 18:11 AND TO HEAR IT YES. 18:12 IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL. 18:13 SO HOW MANY STUDENTS HERE? 18:15 QUITE A FEW. 18:17 THERE IS ABOUT 150 BUT 100 ARE HOSTEL STUDENTS - 18:22 MEANING THAT THEY LIVE THERE. 18:22 HOSTEL IS DORMITORY. 18:25 YES. 18:26 AND HERE IS THE KITCHEN THE LADIES ARE PREPARING 18:27 FOOD FOR THE KIDS TO EAT AND THIS IS THEIR STOVE. 18:32 STOVE FOR ALL OF THOSE KIDS. 18:34 YES, YES. 18:37 AND WHEN THE FOOD IS PREPARED THEY ARE ABLE TO 18:39 GET THE BIG HEFTY STUDENTS TO CARRY IT OUT TO THE 18:42 LINEUP OF THE CHILDREN THAT ARE THERE AND THIS IS 18:45 THE LINEUP AND YOU CAN SEE THEY HAVE THEIR 18:48 DISHES-THEIR STAINLESS-STEEL PLATES AND 18:51 THE CHILDREN BRING THIS FROM HOME AND THEY ARE 18:55 REQUIRED TO WASH THEIR OWN DISH AFTER THEY ARE 18:56 FINISHED, YOU KNOW THE MEN THERE IN TROUSERS AND 19:01 SHIRT, OH YES. 19:02 SLACKS AND - GOOD UNIFORM YES. 19:04 AND THIS IS WHERE WE HOLD OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH 19:07 MEETINGS. 19:09 ALL OF OUR WORKERS IN THAT AREA GET TOGETHER AND THIS 19:13 IS THEIR CLASSROOM. 19:15 AGAIN, THEY SIT ON THE FLOOR AND I HAVE WONDERFUL 19:19 EXPERIENCES WITH MY GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS HERE. 19:22 SO, BEV, DO YOU HAVE A TRANSLATOR IN A SITUATION 19:24 LIKE THAT? 19:25 OH YES. 19:26 YES, OK SO THERE IS A TRANSLATOR AND AS YOU DO 19:29 THE TRAINING. 19:30 NOW TELL US ABOUT THIS. 19:31 WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE? 19:32 I'M TAKING YOU TO ANOTHER PART OF THE COUNTRY AND 19:37 THIS IS CLOSE TO SOME MOUNTAINS WHERE THE LADIES 19:40 HAVE GONE UP TO CUT DOWN WOOD SO THEY CAN GO HOME 19:43 AND SELL IT. 19:45 I MET THESE LADIES AS WE WERE TRAVELING THERE AND 19:49 THESE LADIES BUNDLE THESE UP AND CARRY THEM ON THEIR 19:52 HEAD BACK TO THEIR HOMES SO THEY CAN CUT THAT WOOD 19:56 UP IN SMALL PIECES AND BUNDLES AND SELL IT. 19:58 WOW! 20:00 THEN WE COME TO THIS WAY-OUT POST KARANTAK. 20:03 KARANTAK YOU SEE THE LINEUP OF THE CHILDREN 20:08 THERE-OUR TAXI COMES BETWEEN THE LINEUP OF THE 20:11 CHILDREN AND THEY ARE SINGING. 20:12 AH. 20:13 CHRISTIAN SONGS. 20:14 I JUST FEEL LIKE I'M ROYALTY. 20:16 WELL, YOU ARE A CHILD OF THE LORD AND SO ARE THEY. 20:19 AND THEY ARE TOO. 20:20 IT IS JUST MUSIC TO MY EARS. 20:22 THE SCHOOL IS RATHER SMALL. 20:26 WE HAVE A CHURCH AND IT IS NICELY KEPT AND THE SCHOOL 20:34 OPERATES WITH THE CHURCH AND THAT CHURCHSCHOOL 20:38 RIGHT BEHIND IT. 20:40 THE CHILDREN COME IN HERE FOR THEIR CLASSES, BIBLE 20:48 CLASSES UH HUH. 20:48 I WANT TO CALL IT THE RIGHT NAME. 20:50 OH SURE. 20:51 WHEN THEY ARE IN HERE THEY WILL SING SONGS FOR ME AND 20:59 THEN THEY WILL REPEAT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS TO ME AND 21:01 IN THIS PLACE, YOU CAN SEE THEIR LITTLE TINY TYKES 21:20 AND THERE ARE BIGGER BOYS TOO AND THESE TWO BOYS 21:22 KNEW THE TEN COMMANDMENTS BUT THEY WERE SCARED TO 21:23 DEATH AND SO WE LET THEM SAY IT TOGETHER. 21:24 OH, WELL SEE, PRAISE THE LORD! 21:25 PRAISE THE LORD AND SO THEY LEARNING TEN 21:26 COMMANDMENTS AND I HOPE JOHN 3:16 AND ALL OF 21:28 THESE. 21:29 YES, AND WE HAVE JOHN 3:16 AS JUST A GIVEN. 21:30 EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THAT GOES TO CHURCH SCHOOL. 21:31 THIS IS THE CHURCH SCHOOL. 21:32 It IS CALLED "RAY OF HOPE." 21:33 THE LADY WHO DONATED IT DIDN'T WANT HER NAME ON IT 21:35 BUT SHE WANTED TO NAME THE SCHOOL AND I THOUGHT "RAY 21:38 OF HOPE" WHAT A BEAUTIFUL NAME. 21:40 THIS WAS WAY OUT IN THE COUNTRYSIDE. 21:42 THERE WAS NO EDUCATION FACILITIES AROUND ANYWHERE 21:45 WHEN THE SCHOOL WAS BUILT BUT RIGHT AFTER IT WAS 21:50 FINISHED THE GOVERNMENT CAME ALONG AND BUILT A 21:53 HUGE GOVERNMENT SCHOOL JUST ACROSS THE VALLEY. 21:56 YOU CAN SEE IT FROM THE PROPERTY. 21:57 OH, INTERESTING! 21:58 AND SO, WE'VE HAD COMPETITION YOU MIGHT SAY 22:01 AND THE GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS GIVE A MID DAY MEAL TO THE 22:04 CHILDREN. 22:05 SO THAT'S ENTICING FOR THE PARENTS. 22:07 IT IS ENTICING FOR THE PARENTS BUT THE PERSON WHO 22:13 DONATED ALSO DONATES FOOD FOR ALL OF THE CHILDREN 22:17 THAT WILL GO THERE. 22:18 THIS IS THEIR KITCHEN. 22:19 YES, I SEE THAT IDENTIFIED THERE "KITCHEN". 22:22 THAT'S GREAT. 22:23 AND YOU CAN SEE THE WOOD SMOKE GOING UP IN THEIR 22:26 FACES. 22:27 SO, AGAIN BEV WE TALK ABOUT THIS WE SEE THESE 22:29 PICTURES AND JUST LOOK THAT IN ESSENCE IS THE 22:32 SCHOOL CAFETERIA. 22:33 YES. 22:34 THIS IS THE SCHOOL CAFETERIA AND HOW BLESSED 22:37 WE ARE IN THE WESTERN WORLD TO HAVE BIGGER 22:41 CAFETERIAS BUT THESE PEOPLE ARE PROBABLY 22:43 THRILLED TO HAVE THIS KITCHEN. 22:45 THEY ARE BLESSED AND THEY FEEL BLESSED TO BE ABLE TO 22:47 HAVE ONE ROOM FOR THE CHILDREN TO GO. 22:49 IT IS SO HUMBLING FOR US TO SEE THIS. 22:51 NOW WE ARE GOING TO ANOTHER VILLAGE WHERE WE 22:53 HAVE A CHURCH SCHOOL. 22:54 THIS IS CALLED KOTLEBASTIAN -WOMEN HOEING 22:58 IN THE FOREST. 23:00 HOW APPROPRIATE. 23:01 AND WHEN I WAS THERE IT WAS MORNING TIME AND THE

THAT PROBABLY BRINGS MORE PEOPLE TO JESUS CHRIST 23:18 THAN ANY OTHER ONE OF MY WORKERS, I THINK. 23:20 HE HELPS HIS WIFE WITH THESE 38-45 CHILDREN. 23:26 THEY ARE YOUNG. 23:27 THEY ARE TINY TYKES. 23:29 YES. 23:29 AND HE TEACHES SO BEAUTIFULLY. 23:33 ALL MORNING LONG WITH HIS WIFE AND THEN EATS LUNCH 23:36 AND GOES OUT IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING TO 23:39 SEE CHURCH MEMBERS AND TO BRING OTHERS TO JESUS 23:43 CHRIST. 23:43 BUT LOOK AT THOSE LITTLE TINY TYKES. 23:45 ALL IN UNIFORM. 23:46 INSIDE THEY GIVE ME A BEAUTIFUL SINGING 23:49 PROGRAM-IT IS ACTION SONGS USUALLY. 23:51 THEY ARE TEACHING THEM IN ENGLISH. 23:52 THIS IS ENGLISH MEDIUM SCHOOL AND AFTER THAT THEY 23:57 SAY EXODUS 20:1-17. 24:02 IT STARTS WITH "I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD WHO BROUGHT 24:05 YOU OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT OUT OF THE LAND OF 24:07 BONDAGE". 24:07 OUT OF SLAVERY AND HERE THEY ARE-LITTLE TYKES. 24:11 IN ENGLISH, IN ENGLISH I VOUCH FOR THEM SAYING IT 24:16 WORD PERFECT. 24:17 AH. 24:18 YOU CAN -IT IS SO SWEET
