ON THE PRESIDENCY HERE AS 01:13 A PART OF VOLUNTEER IN THE ORGANIZATION AND I JUST 01:18 HELP MANAGE THE CREW AND YOU KNOW INSPIRE THEM AND 01:23 HOPEFULLY ALLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT TO JUST KIND OF 01:26 WORK THROUGH MINISTRY AND YOU KNOW, THERE IS A LOT 01:29 OF DIFFERENT FACETS OF GOSPEL OUTREACH THAT I AM 01:31 LEARNING ABOUT AND SO YOU KNOW, I'M STILL KIND OF 01:33 LEARNING AND PROBABLY GOING TO CONTINUE TO LEARN 01:35 BUT IT HAS BEEN EXCITING AND FUN TO BE A PART OF 01:38 AND YOU KNOW, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT MORE WHAT I DO 01:41 HERE BUT THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT I DO. 01:42 AWESOME. 01:43 WELL, IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU HERE ON BOARD AND 01:45 LARRY WHY DON'T YOU SHARE WHAT YOUR ROLE HERE IS AT 01:48 GOSPEL OUTREACH. 01:50 ACTUALLY, I HELP RECRUIT PRESIDENTS-I'M CHAIRMAN OF 01:53 THE BOARD AND-AND YOU DID WELL- I HAVE BEEN -HAD THE 01:57 PRIVILEGE OF DOING IS BEING INVOLVED IN HELPING 02:01 BRENT TO LEARN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT GOSPEL 02:05 OUTREACH IS ABOUT. 02:07 PRAYING A LOT THAT THE LORD WOULD HELP US FIND 02:10 JUST THE RIGHT LEADER FOR THE ORGANIZATION AND AS HE 02:14 ALWAYS DOES, HE GIVES US JUST EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED. 02:17 YES. 02:17 IT'S BEEN GREAT. 02:19 WELL, THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND 02:22 BRENT EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE JUST STEPPING RECENTLY AS 02:25 THE PRESIDENT GOSPEL OUTREACH IS NOT A NEW 02:27 PLACE FOR YOU. 02:29 NO, WE'VE SORT OF BEEN VICARIOUSLY INVOLVED WITH 02:31 GOSPEL OUTREACH OVER THE YEARS. 02:33 UM, WE'VE GONE TO INDIA SEVERAL TIMES WITH MANZOOR 02:36 MASSEY AND I'V E TAKEN MY FAMILY-IN FACT, ONE OF THE 02:42 REASONS THAT I'M DEEPLY INVOLVED WITH GOSPEL 02:46 OUTREACH IS BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT'S WHAT KEEPS 02:50 US ALIVE IN TERMS SPIRITUALLY AND ESPECIALLY 02:54 WITH OUR FAMILY WE WANTED TO DO SOMETHING THAT WAS 02:58 OUT OF THE NORM TO GET OUR KIDS AWAY FROM, YOU KNOW, 03:03 THE AMERICAN CULTURE-GET THEM INTO AN AREA THAT'S 03:06 JUST THIRD WORLD AND SHOW THEM UM, AND SHOW US WHAT 03:11 THE WORLD IS REALLY LIKE. 03:12 YES. 03:13 AND THAT HAS REALLY BEEN A BLESSING TO OUR FAMILY 03:16 BECAUSE THROUGH THAT EXPERIENCE OUR KIDS HAVE 03:19 BEEN ABLE TO SEE A SIDE OF THE WORLD THAT IS IN GREAT 03:23 NEED. 03:24 WE ARE IN GREAT NEED HERE TOO. 03:25 RIGHT. 03:26 BUT EVEN MORE SO AND I THINK SOMETIMES IT IS 03:28 SCARY BECAUSE WE DON'T THINK WE ARE IN NEED AS 03:31 MUCH AS WE REALLY ARE. 03:31 YES. 03:32 BUT OVER THERE THERY REALLY KNOW THEIR NEED AND 03:34 SO WE WENT TO INDIA AND OUR PROJECT WAS TO BE A 03:40 PART OF A WEEK OF PRAYER AND WE PUT A WEEK OF 03:44 PRAYER ON FOR KIDS AT THE SCHOOL THERE. 03:47 I THINK THERE WAS AROUND 700 KIDS AT THIS SEVENTH 03:51 DAY ADVENTIST CHRISTIAN SCHOOL BUT IT IS AN 03:53 ORPHANAGE SCHOOL SO UM, HALF OF THEM ARE ORPHANS, 03:56 HALF OF THEM-SOME ARE CHRISTIANS, SOME ARE 03:58 MUSLIM, HINDI, HINDU AND BUDDHIST SO THERE IS A MIX 04:03 OF DIFFERENT RELIGIONS THAT ARE REPRESENTED AT 04:06 THE SCHOOL. 04:07 AND SO, WE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF TAKING A TEAM 04:09 OF ABOUT SEVEN OF US AND WENT OVER THERE AND I TOOK 04:14 MY KIDS AND THEN THE KERN'S KIDS AND ANOTHER 04:18 COUPLE OF KIDS WENT AND WE SPOKE TO THE KIDS IN THE 04:19 MORNING AND THE EVENING. 04:20 ONE HOUR IN THE MORNING AND ONE HOUR IN THE 04:21 EVENING AND WE SHARED ABOUT JESUS. 04:22 WE SHARED STORIES ABOUT JESUS-ABOUT UM WHAT JESUS 04:24 MISSION WAS AND THE CONDITION OF OUR EARTH AND 04:25 HOW WE CAME INTO BE WHERE WE ARE AND HOW AS SINNERS 04:26 WE NEED A SAVOUR. 04:36 YES. 04:42 AND TO THAT - TO EXPERIENCE AND HAVING TO 04:45 WITNESS HOW THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN WORK THROUGH 04:47 US, AMAZING-TO JUST TOUCH THOSE KIDS AND THE GREAT 04:51 THING ABOUT THAT EXPERIENCE WAS NOT SO MUCH 04:54 WHAT WE SHARED WITH THEM BUT WHAT THEY SHARED WITH 04:58 US AND WHAT THEY GAVE US. 05:00 AND WHAT THEY GAVE US WAS TRUST; THEY GAVE US A 05:03 RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR KIDS, YOU KNOW AND US. 05:06 AFTER THE MEETINGS WE'D SHAKE HANDS AND GIVE THEM 05:08 HUGS AND LOVE THEM AND THEN THE NEXT MEETING WE'D 05:12 SHAKE HANDS, HUG AND THEN THAT HAPPENED THE WHOLE 05:15 WEEK LONG SO BY THE TIME THE WEEK WAS OVER UM, OUR 05:18 KIDS WERE SO CONNECTED TO THEM. 05:20 AFTER THE MEETINGS WE WOULD BREAK UP INTO LITTLE 05:23 GROUPS -THE GIRLS WOULD BRAID HAIR; THEY WOULD 05:27 COMB HAIR; THEY WOULD TALK ABOUT THEIR LIVES 05:30 HERE-THEIR LIFE THERE AND SO THAT WAS SO TOUCHING 05:36 FOR OUR FAMILY AND WE CAME HOME JUST COMPLETELY 05:39 CHANGED KNOWING THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE IS A WORLD OUT 05:43 THERE THAT IS SO DESPERATE TO HEAR ABOUT JESUS. 05:48 YES, ABSOLUTELY. 05:49 AND THAT'S PARTICULARLY WHY I'M WILLING TO BE HERE 05:53 IS BECAUSE I WANT TO DEVOTE THE REST OF MY LIFE 05:56 TO BE A VESSEL-TO BE OUT THERE AND HELP PEOPLE. 06:01 YES, AND THE FACT THAT YOU AND YOUR WIFE HEATHER AND 06:03 YOUR THREE DAUGHTERS WENT AND THE CONNECTIOIN AND I 06:06 REMEMBER WE HAVE TALKED HERE ON THE SET AND BOTH 06:08 WITH YOU AND WITH HEATHER AND TO SEE THE PICTURES OF 06:11 YOUR FAMILY HUGGING ON THESE KIDS. 06:13 UH HUH. 06:14 AND IT IS THAT CONNECTION BECAUSE OFTEN TIMES WE GET 06:16 SO INTO OUR FIRST WORLD NEEDS. 06:18 YOU KNOW, DO THESE CLOTHES MATCH? 06:20 AND YOU KNOW, HOW IS OUR CAR AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 06:23 I MEAN THESE ARE CONCERNS THAT PEOPLE IN OTHER 06:25 COUNTRIES THEY HAVE NO CONCEPT OF BUT-ABSOLUTELY- 06:29 THE FACT THAT YOU ARE MEETING THEIR NEEDS AND 06:32 SHARING AND THE FACT THESE KIDS WERE ORPHANS I BET 06:35 THAT WAS VERY IMPACTFUL FOR YOUR FAMILY. 06:37 IT WAS VERY IMPACTFUL. 06:39 THERE WAS ONE STORY I'D LIKE TO SHARE WHICH WAS SO 06:42 ENCOURAGING FOR US BUT THERE WAS ONE LITTLE 06:47 MUSLIM GIRL WHO SAT THROUGH THE MEETINGS AND 06:51 UM, AT THE END OF OUR MEETINGS WHEN THE APPEAL 06:54 CAME FOR BAPTISM SHE CAME UP AND SHE SAID, "I NEED 06:57 TO GET PERMISSION FROM MY FAMILY TO BE BAPTIZED." 07:00 AND IN THAT CULTURE IF YOU ARE A MUSLIM IT IS A BIG 07:07 SACRIFICE TO BECOME BAPTIZED BECAUSE YOU MAY 07:10 LOSE YOUR FAMILY, YOU MAY LOSE YOUR LIFE, YOU MAY 07:15 LOSE FRIENDS AND SO FOR THEM TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT 07:19 THEY WANT TO SERVE JESUS COULD BE DETRIMENTAL AND 07:22 IT IS DETRIMENTAL IN MANY RESPECTS BUT FOR THAT 07:25 PARTICULAR SCHOOL THE KIDS HAVE TO HAVE PERMISSION 07:27 FROM THEIR FATHER TO BECOME BAPTIZED. 07:31 SO, SHE CALLED-IT WAS ON SABBATH WHEN THE BAPTISMS 07:34 ARE-I THINK IT WAS POSSIBLY THE FRIDAY NIGHT 07:37 BEFORE SABBATH SHE CALLED HER FATHER AND WE HAD ALL 07:41 COMMITED TO PRAYING FOR HER, PRAYING ABOUT THE 07:43 SITUATION AND HE GAVE THE OK FOR HER TO BE BAPTIZED. 07:46 HE DID? 07:46 HE DID. 07:47 PRAISE THE LORD. 07:48 HE DID AND SO SHE WAS ONE OF THOSE PRECIOUS SOULS 07:51 WHO WAS BAPTIZED ON SABBATH. 07:52 FANTASTIC. 07:53 YES, SO. 07:54 SO, YOUR FAMILY HAS KNOWN ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH, 07:57 WENT ON SEVERAL TRIPS HERE AND THEN HERE YOU ARE HERE 08:00 AT GOSPEL OUTREACH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY INVOLVED AND 08:03 WE THANK YOU. 08:04 WE THANK YOU. 08:05 LARRY HOW DID YOU FIRST GET INVOLVED WITH GOSPEL 08:07 OUTREACH? 08:09 I MET A GENTLEMAN IN A CHURCH WHERE I WAS A 08:11 PREVIOUS MEMBER THE CARMICHAEL CHURCH IN 08:14 SACRAMENTO -JAMES CAMPBELL WHO HAPPENED TO BE A 08:17 REGIONAL DIRECTOR FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH. 08:20 HE TALKED TO US ABOUT A PROJECT THAT HE WAS 08:22 WORKING ON IN INDIA AND ASKED FOR SOME FINANCIAL 08:26 SUPPORT WHICH KNOWING HIM AND THE GODLY GENTLEMAN 08:31 THAT HE WAS WE SUPPORTED AND THEN I STARTED GETTING 08:36 THE NEWSLETTERS AND YOU KNOW-MORE QUESTIONS AND 08:38 BECAME VERY SUPPORTIVE, INTERESTED IN THE CONCEPT 08:44 OF USING INDIGENOUS WORKERS AND THE LOW 08:46 OVERHEAD THAT THE ORGANIZATION HAS WITH ALL 08:50 VOLUNTEERS. 08:52 THOSE THINGS JUST APPEALED AND SO WE CONTINUED THE 08:57 SUPPORT. 08:58 THE LAST DAY OF MY -BEFORE I RETIRED IN THE OFFICE I 09:04 GOT A CALL THAT EVENING FROM ONE OF THE BOARD 09:06 MEMBERS AT GOSPEL OUTREACH AND ASK IF I WOULD 09:09 CONSIDER BEING A BOARD MEMBER. 09:12 THEY KNEW I -JANE AND I WERE GOING TO MOVE TO 09:15 WALLA WALLA AND I SAID, WELL, I KNOW A LITTLE BIT 09:19 ABOUT THAT AND TURNED OUT AT THE BOARD MEETING THEY 09:25 WERE ACTUALLY IN A BOARD MEETING AT THE TIME AND 09:28 THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE WAS WORKING AND THEY HAD 09:30 ASKED ME TO BE A BOARD MEMBER. 09:31 I SAID YES, AND THEN THEY ASKED IF I WOULD CHAIR THE 09:34 BOARD AND SO THAT'S HOW I BECAME INVOLVED. 09:37 IT'S A GOD THING. 09:38 YES. 09:39 AND SINCE THEN IT'S JUST REALLY BEEN AN EXCITING 09:44 JOURNEY, INTERESTING JUST FASCINATING TO SEE THE 09:47 LEADING THAT GOD HAS LED IN SO MANY PEOPLE'S LIVES. 09:51 IT'S BEEN FUN. 09:53 WELL, THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU AND AS BRENT HAS 09:56 SHARED HE HAS BEEN ON SOME TRIPS WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH 09:59 REGIONAL DIRECTORS. 10:00 LARRY, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO VISIT AS WELL? 10:03 I WENT TO HONG KONG -AUDREY FOLKENBERG IS OUR 10:07 REGIONAL DIRECTOR AND LIVES IN HONG KONG WITH 10:10 BOB, OF COURSE AND SO WE WENT THERE MET WITH THE 10:14 DIRECTORS THAT ARE IN CHINA. 10:16 THEY CAME OUT. 10:17 WE DIDN'T GO INTO CHINA ON THAT TRIP BUT BEEN THERE 10:20 ON OTHER TRIPS BUT IT WAS AGAIN JUST SO INSPIRING TO 10:23 SEE WHAT THE WORKERS ARE DOING; HOW COMMITTED THEY 10:27 ARE, UH; HOW THE NEED IS ALWAYS PRESENT THEN WE 10:32 WENT TO THE PHILIPPINES. 10:33 I TRAVELED WITH FRED WEBB WHO IS OUR REGIONAL 10:36 DIRECTOR THERE AND JANE AND I WENT UP INTO THE 10:39 NORTH LUZAN AREA IN THE MOUNTAINS AND TOURED AND 10:43 MET EIGHT OF THE BIBLE WORKERS THAT WERE IN THAT 10:45 AREA AT THAT TIME AND EDGAR WHO WAS ONE OF THE 10:50 ORIGINAL COFOUNDERS OF GOSPEL OUTREACH. 10:53 WE STAYED IN HIS HOME AND JUST HAD A GREAT TRIP. 10:57 NOT AN EASY TRIP BUT IT WAS AN INSPIRING GREAT 11:02 TRIP AND I'D DO IT AGAIN. 11:05 WELL, FANTASTIC. 11:06 WELL AND YOU KNOW AS GREAT AS TECHNOLOGY IS WE HAVE 11:10 -WE CAN SKYPE, WE CAN EMAIL, WE CAN DO ALL OF 11:13 THESE THINGS BUT IT STILL DOESN'T TAKE THE PLACE OF 11:17 BEING WITH THE PEOPLE-BEING WITH THE 11:18 KIDS, BRENT, LIKE YOU MENTIONED OF YOU KNOW, 11:20 SEEING WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN UM, LARRY AND THAT'S A 11:24 HUGE PART OF THE CONNECTION. 11:26 THAT'S A HUGE PART OF THE CONNECTION. 11:28 WELL, WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR CONNECTING WITH US 11:30 HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH AND WE HAVE SOME 11:32 INFORMATION THAT WE'D LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU. 11:34 Earth. 11:35 Vast... 11:36 Beautiful.... but take a closer look and you can 11:41 see the pain of a world on a collision course with 11:47 its own greed. 11:49 Humanity... 11:50 we need love. 11:52 We need hope. 11:54 We need a Savior. 11:58 More than one third of the world's 7 billion people 12:01 still need to hear about God's love and His plan to 12:05 save us. 12:06 One third. 12:08 In such a big world, it's easy to feel small, but 12:14 you can make a difference. 12:16 Partner with Gospel Outreach to fund Bible 12:19 workers who are missionaries in their own 12:21 villages, towns and cities. 12:24 They share the life changing love and

ON UM, HOW 14:12 MANY GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS DO WE HAVE IN THIS 14:15 GREAT PART OF OUR WORLD? 14:18 WE HAVE OVER 2000 WORKERS NOW. 14:21 THAT IS GREAT! 14:22 YES. 14:23 AND WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN THIS 14:24 AREA AND EVERY WORKER THAT WE HAVE IS A GOOD THING. 14:28 I THINK BILLIONS, I THINK WE'RE TWO POINT SOMETHING 14:32 BILLION PEOPLE, YES. 14:33 TWO-THIRDS OF THE WORLD LIVES IN THIS WINDOW-10/40 14:36 WINDOW AND WE NEED MORE BUT WE ARE THANKFUL FOR 14:40 WHAT WE HAVE. 14:40 YES. 14:41 YES. 14:42 AMEN. 14:42 AND LARRY ABOUT-TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE 14:44 REGIONAL DIRECTORS, HOW MANY REGIONAL DIRECTORS DO 14:45 WE HAVE? 14:46 SURE. 14:47 THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 20, GIVE OR TAKE FROM TIME 14:51 TO TIME, BUT 20 REGIONAL DIRECTORS. 14:53 THEY TYPICALLY WILL GO TO THEIR FIELD UH HUH, ONCE A 14:59 YEAR AT LEAST AND THEY'LL SPEND ANYWHERE FROM A 15:03 COUPLE OF WEEKS TO WE HAD DIRECTORS THIS YEAR -5-7 15:07 WEEKS JUST TRAVELING IN THAT COUNTRY MEETING WITH 15:12 THE BIBLE WORKERS THAT GOSPEL OUTREACH SUPPORTS, 15:15 ENCOURAGING, TRAINING, UH WORKING WITH THE DIVISION 15:20 LEADERSHIP, WITH THE UNION LEADERSHIP AND THE SECTION 15:24 LEADERSHIP IN THOSE VARIOUS COUNTRIES SO WE 15:28 TRY AND MAINTAIN A REAL CLOSE CONNECTION WITH THE 15:30 CHURCH AND SUPPORT THAT AND THEIR TRIPS-ACTUALLY 15:36 THAT'S THE FUN PART OF HAVING BOARD MEETINGS IS 15:39 BECAUSE DURING THAT TIME WE HEAR THESE REPORTS FROM 15:42 THE REGIONAL DIRECTORS AND SIX MONTHS GOES BY REALLY 15:47 FAST. 15:48 ON THE OTHER HAND, THE STORIES ARE AMAZING TO 15:51 HEAR AND THE LORD IS WORKING UNBELIEVABLY. 15:55 PARTICULARY IN THESE OTHER COUNTRIES. 15:58 OH, ABSOLUTELY AND YOU WERE SHARING A LITTLE BIT 16:01 ABOUT SOME RECENT MEETINGS, UM, CAN YOU 16:03 SHARE WITH OUR VIEWERS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT? 16:06 SURE, I'D BE HAPPY TO. 16:07 UM, ON A EVERY SIX-MONTH BASIS WE INVITE THE 16:13 REGIONAL DIRECTORS TO COME TO OUR HEADQUARTERS OFFICE 16:17 IN COLLEGE PLACE, UH HUH, AND WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY 16:21 TO SHARE THE STORIES, WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THEIR 16:25 AREA. 16:26 THE LAST TIME WE MET WE TOOK A SPECIAL TIME UM, 16:30 ONE OF THE LEADERS THAT HAS BEEN WORKING IN THIS 16:33 COUNTRY AND ACTUALLY HELPING TO DEVELOP SOME 16:36 NEW STORY TELLING APPROACHES TO SPREADING 16:40 THE GOSPEL PARTICULARLY IN AREAS WHERE THEY ARE 16:43 TOTALLY UNCHURCHED, UNCHRISTIAN AND MANY CAN'T 16:49 READ OR WRITE AND SO WE NEED A DIFFERENT METHOD TO 16:53 WORK WITH THOSE PEOPLE AND I FIRMLY BELIEVE THE HOLY 16:56 SPIRIT HAS BEEN LEADING IN GETTING THE RIGHT PEOPLE 17:00 IN THIS ORGANIZATION WITH THE SKILLS,THE BACKGROUND, 17:04 THE EXPERIENCE THAT THEY HAVE TO HELP THAT TO 17:07 HAPPEN. 17:08 AND SO, THIS MEETING THEY MODELED FOR THE DIRECTORS 17:12 WHAT SOME OF THESE TRAINING TOOLS WOULD BE. 17:17 ONE OF THE KEY THINGS FOR ME WAS STARTING WITH A 17:23 SEASON OF PRAYER AND THEN ANOTHER SEASON OF PRAYER 17:27 STARTED INDIVIDUAL PRAYING FOR TWO OR THREE OF US 17:31 TOGETHER THEN PRAYING AGAIN IN SMALL GROUPS FOR 17:36 THE CHURCH AND THE CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE AS 17:39 A SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH AND THEN PRAYING 17:42 FOR THE WORLD AND I REALLY HADN'T THOUGHT THAT MUCH 17:46 ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHO WOULD I PRAY FOR IN THE WORLD? 17:49 WELL, WE NEED TO PRAY FOR THE TERRORISTS, WE NEED TO 17:51 PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE YOU KNOW, THE DEVIL IS 17:54 USING TO DISRUPT THE WORLD. 17:57 SO, BY THE TIME WE WERE DONE YOU COULD JUST TELL 18:00 THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS INVOLVED IN OUR SESSIONS 18:03 AND IT WAS WONDERFUL. 18:05 FANTASTIC. 18:06 WELL AND THERE ARE FIVE WORDS "MAY I PRAY FOR 18:10 YOU"? 18:11 YES, AND OFTEN TIMES I THINK THAT WE DO SAY, 18:13 "WELL, I'LL PRAY FOR YOU" AND THEY WE SAY THAT TO 18:15 SOMEBODY AND THEN WE SWITCH GEARS AND TALK 18:17 ABOUT THE WEATHER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 18:19 SURE. 18:20 BUT IN THE PAUSING, AND THAT'S WHAT I'M HEARING 18:22 FROM YOU IS THE PAUSING RIGHT THERE AND PRAYING TO 18:24 THE LORD AND GOING TO THE THRONE, THE FOOT OF THE 18:27 CROSS AND LEAVING IT THERE. 18:28 THERE IS SOMETHING DELIBERATE I GUESS, IS THE 18:32 WAY I WOULD SAY IT. 18:33 YES. 18:34 WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER, YES, AND PRAY 18:38 INTENTIONALLY, YES, FOR VERY SPECIFIC THINGS. 18:41 SO, I AM GOING TO ASK YOU RIGHT NOW LARRY, IF YOU 18:44 AND BRENT IF WE COULD PAUSE HERE WOULD YOU PRAY 18:46 FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH? 18:47 WOULD YOU PRAY FOR OUR WORKERS AND WOULD YOU PRAY 18:49 FOR OUR VIEWERS? 18:50 WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DEALING WITH ON THE 18:53 OTHER SIDE OF THAT SCREEN AS THEY WATCH US HERE 18:56 RIGHT NOW AND WOULD YOU PAUSE-ABSOLUTELY. 18:59 DEAR FATHER, WE THANK YOU THAT YOU'VE GIVEN US 19:01 PRAYER. 19:02 WE DON'T ALWAYS UNDERSTAND HOW IT WORKS BUT WE KNOW 19:05 IT IS IMPORTANT AND WE KNOW THAT YOU LISTEN. 19:08 WE KNOW THAT YOU ANSWER AND WE JUST ASK RIGHT NOW 19:12 THAT YOU'LL BE PRESENT IN OUR WORKERS LIVES, 19:15 PROTECT, GUIDE AND GIVE INSPIRATION TO THEM. 19:21 LORD, WE WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN SPREADING THIS 19:25 WORD SO THAT YOUR COMING CAN BE HASTENED AND THERE 19:27 ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO SEE IN 19:30 HEAVEN WHEN WE GET THERE. 19:32 PLEASE, CONTINUE TO WORK, CONTINUE TO GUIDE AND LORD 19:37 THE DONORS THAT HELP SUPPORT THIS WORK, GIVE 19:40 THEM A BLESSING. 19:42 EVERY DOLLAR MAKES A DIFFERENCE AND AS MANY 19:47 PEOPLE GIVE THIS MONEY IS ACCUMULATED AND IT CAN DO 19:51 SUCH WONDERFUL WORK. 19:53 WE THANK YOU FOR THE DOLLARS. 19:54 WE THANK YOU FOR THEIR COMMITMENT AND THEIR 19:57 INTEREST IN BEING A PART OF THIS GREAT MINISTRY. 20:01 THANK YOU IN JESUS NAME, AMEN. 20:04 AMEN. 20:04 THANK YOU. 20:06 SO, MEETINGS-VERY IMPORTANT TRAINING AND 20:11 WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT SOMEONE WHO HAS BECOME A 20:13 CHRISTIAN SAY THEY HAVE BEEN A MUSLIM, YOU WERE 20:16 TALKING ABOUT MUSLIMS AND HINDUS-FOR THEM TO BECOME 20:20 A CHRISTIAN AND THEN TO GO AND BE ABLE TO SHARE THAT 20:22 WITH SOMEONE ELSE, YES, WE'VE HEARD SOMETHING NEW. 20:25 WE'VE GOT THE JOY OF JESUS AND ALL OF THAT BUT TO BE 20:28 ABLE TO HAVE SOME OF THIS TRAINING -BRENT, WHAT'S IT 20:30 LIKE FOR YOU TO HEAR ABOUT THE REGIONAL DIRECTORS WHO 20:32 ARE MEETING WITH THESE PEOPLE AND HELPING THEM SO 20:35 THEY CAN THEN BETTER SHARE JESUS IN THEIR 20:37 COMMUNITIES, IN THEIR MARKETPLACES? 20:40 WELL, I THINK IT IS ABSOLUTELY VITAL THAT 20:42 GOD'S PEOPLE COME TOGETHER REGULARLY TO CONNECT UM, 20:49 KIND OF PRAY TOGETHER LIKE I'M HEARING WHAT LARRY IS 20:52 SAYING IS VERY TRUE- IS THAT WHERE THE POWER IS, 20:57 IS REALLY IN PRAYER, RIGHT? 20:59 AMEN. 21:00 WE CAN SPEND A LOT OF TIME WORKING AT BETTERING 21:04 CERTAIN THINGS BUT PRAYER IS REALLY WHAT SHOWS HOW 21:10 COMMITTED YOU ARE. 21:11 YOU KNOW, WE CAN DO DIFFERENT THINGS BUT IT 21:13 DOESN'T NECESSARILY SHOW THAT WE ARE UP ALL NIGHT 21:16 PRAYING OR INTERECEDING FOR SOMEBODY AND THIS IS 21:19 OUR PRIVILEGE AS GOD'S KIDS IS TO BE INTERCESSORY 21:22 PRAYER WITH PEOPLE. 21:24 YES, AND WHEN WE COME TOGETHER AS A GROUP, THIS 21:28 IS SO IMPORTANT THAT WE PRAY TOGETHER. 21:30 YES. 21:31 BECAUSE NOT ONLY HEARTS ARE BEING JOINED BUT WE 21:34 ARE ON THE SAME TEAM. 21:35 YOU KNOW WE COME WITH A VERY DIVIDED COUNTRY, 21:37 DIVIDED CHURCH SOMETIMES, YES, AND PRAYER IS THE ONE 21:40 THING THAT BRINGS US TOGETHER, RIGHT? 21:42 BECAUSE WE ARE ABOUT GOD'S BUSINESS. 21:44 YES. 21:45 WE'RE ALLOWING THE HOLY SPIRIT TO JUST MELT OUR 21:47 HEARTS RIGHT THEN. 21:47 COME BEFORE THE THRONE. 21:49 ABSOLUTELY AND IN OUR NEWSLETTER, HERE WE HAVE A 21:52 QUOTE WITH A BOWL OF RICE: "MONEY PUTS RICE IN THE 21:54 BOWL BUT PRAYER PUTS LIFE IN THE SOUL". 21:57 AUDREY FOLKEBERG PENNED THAT AND I'M GOING TO READ 22:00 IT AGAIN. 22:01 "MONEY PUTS RICE IN THE BOWL BUT PRAYER PUTS LIFE 22:04 IN THE SOUL". 22:05 AND I BELIEVE THAT GOD INSPIRED AUDREY WHEN HE 22:08 GAVE HER THAT BUT NO, NO IT IS VERY TRUE. 22:11 SO, GOSPEL OUTREACH HAS ABOUT 20 REGIONAL 22:13 DIRECTORS, MORE THAT 2000 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 22:17 HOW MANY COUNTRIES ABOUT IS THIS? 22:18 51 OK, ABOUT THAT PLUS LESS PROBABLY, RIGHT? 22:23 SO, WE'VE GOT THAT HUGE AREA OF REAL ESTATE SO, 22:25 WE'VE TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THE GREAT THINGS THAT ARE 22:27 HAPPENING, WHAT ARE SOME OF THE NEEDS UM, HERE AT 22:30 GOSPEL OUTREACH LARRY AND BRENT THAT OUR VIEWERS 22:33 NEED TO KNOW ABOUT? 22:34 WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP? 22:35 PRAY. 22:36 I WAS GOING TO SAY THE SAME THING. 22:38 IN FACT, WE EVEN HAVE A PRAYER-WE COME DOWN AT THE 22:42 CORPORATE OFFICE HERE EVERY TUESDAY AT 12:30 AND 22:45 ANYONE IS WELCOME TO COME- THEY ARE INVITED TO COME 22:47 DOWN AND
