03:18 FOR SOMEONE WHO MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND THAT TERM. 03:20 YES, THEY BASICALLY AN ANIMIST IS SOMEONE WHO 03:22 WORSHIPS THE SPIRITS WHO JUST TO PUT IT VERY SIMPLY 03:23 WHO DOESN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE CREATOR GOD AND 03:24 ALBEIT WE'VE FOUND MOST REMOTE ISOLATED TRIBES DO 03:26 KNOW SOMETHING OF THE CREATOR GOD OF THE 03:37 UNIVERSE. 03:38 REALLY? 03:40 YES. 03:42 EVEN THOUGH THEY CLAIM THAT THEY DON'T. 03:44 WELL, THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE BUT IF YOU 03:47 REALLY LISTEN TO THEIR STORIES THEY HAVE MYTHIS 03:51 OR LEGENDS OR STORIES -SOME TO A GREATER SOME TO 03:54 A LESSER DEGREE REGARDING CREATION, REGARDING THE 04:00 FALL, REGARDING THE FLOOD. 04:03 AT LEAST THOSE THREE THINGS AND SOME MIGHT EVEN 04:06 HAVE SOME INKLING THAT GOD ONE DAY THE GREAT CREATOR 04:09 GOD OR THE SKY GOD WILL HAVE SOME PLAN TO PUT 04:13 THINGS RIGHT. 04:14 SO, WE FIND LIKE THREE OR FOUR THINGS WE'VE ALWAYS 04:17 JUST SAY THEY KNOW NOTHING -THEY ARE STONEAGE PEOPLE. 04:20 WELL, THEY STILL LIVE IN THE STONEAGE PLACE MOST 04:23 PEOPLE WE HAVE FOUND HAVE KEPT SOME KNOWLEDGE. 04:27 NOW, I'VE FOUND SOME HAVE TOTALLY NOTHING, UH HUH, 04:31 IT SEEMS THAT THOSE WHO HAVE FALLEN INTO THE 04:34 DEEPEST CLUTCH OF POWER OF EVIL THEY HAVE LOST MORE 04:40 OF THEIR UNDERSTANDING. 04:42 FOR EXAMPLE, RECENTLY I WAS WITH A GROUP IN A 04:46 CERTAIN PART OF THE WORLD THAT ACTUALLY SOMEWHERE IN 04:48 ONE OF THE COUNTRIES OF THE AMAZON JUNGLE AND I 04:51 TALKED TO TWO TRIBES WHO LIVE IN PRETTY CLOSE 04:54 VICINITY TO EACH OTHER. 04:56 ONE KNEW QUITE A BIT ABOUT THE GREAT CREATOR 04:59 GOD, ABOUT THE FLOOD ANOTHER ONE SAID, WE ARE 05:03 SONS OF THE GREAT SNAKE. 05:04 OH, INTERESTING. 05:06 AND SO, THOSE PEOPLE WHO SAID THEY WERE THE SONS OF 05:08 THE GREAT SNAKE THEY'D LIVED IN THE MOST DEPRAVED 05:11 WAY. 05:12 THEY LIVED THE WORST OF THE WORST OF THE ISOLATED 05:15 TRIBES I'VE EVER HEARD OF. 05:16 ISN'T THAT SOMETHING? 05:17 THEY HAD IN FACT LOST FIRE. 05:20 THEY HAD WARRED WITH EVERYONE. 05:22 LOST THE ABILITY TO HAVE FIRE UNTIL ABOUT 15 YEARS 05:25 AGO OR 17 YEARS AGO THEY WERE LIVING WITHOUT FIRE. 05:29 WITHOUT FIRE MEANING WHAT? 05:31 NO FIRE. 05:32 NO FIRE. 05:32 NO FIRE. 05:33 OK. 05:34 SO. 05:35 NOT A FIRE IN THE SOUL, WE'RE TALKING LITERALLY NO 05:36 FIRE. 05:36 NO FIRE. 05:37 SO, THEY ATE RAW MEAT. 05:38 OK. 05:38 MARTY, THIS IS VERY INTERESTING. 05:40 THIS IS A LOT TO KIND OF WRAP YOUR BRAIN AROUND 05:41 HERE TODAY BUT THIS IS VERY EDUCATIONAL AND VERY 05:46 GOOD. 05:47 UM, TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS. 05:48 SO, THE ANIMISTS DO THEY WORSHIP IDOLS? 05:50 DO THEY WORSHIP NATURE? 05:51 DO THEY WORSHIP-IT WOULD BE MORE NATURE SPIRITS. 05:59 FEAR OF THE SPIRITS. 06:03 OK. 06:04 SO THAT KIND OF-THAT'S A WHOLE OTHER REALM OF 06:07 RELIGION I GUESS, THAT'S CONSIDERED RELIGION. 06:09 YES, IT IS. 06:11 THAT MANY PEOPLE MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT. 06:13 SO, THESE ISOLATED TRIBES AROUND THE WORLD? 06:17 AROUND THE WORLD. 06:18 WE HAVE FOUND THAT IN WHILE WE DON'T WORK WITH 06:20 THESE WE'VE JUST BEEN RESEARCHING SIGNIFICANTLY 06:23 WHERE THESE ISOLATED TRIBES ARE. 06:25 THERE IS ISOLATED TRIBES IN ASIA, IN THE SOUTH 06:28 PACIFIC, THE GREATEST MAJORITY STILL IN THE 06:31 AMAZON BASIN AND IT SEEMS LIKE THERE COULD BE SOME 06:32 STILL EVEN WHILE THEY KNOW OF WHITE PEOPLE, THEY ARE 06:33 NOT UNCONTACTED. 06:35 THEY MIGHT BE THREE GENERATIONS WITHOUT SEEING 06:36 OUTSIDE PEOPLE IN THE VERY FAR NORTH IN THE ARTIC 06:37 CIRCLE AREAS. 06:38 SO, WHEN I THINK OF ISOLATED I THINK OF PEOPLE 06:48 WHO ARE TOTALLY ISOLATED FROM ANYBODY BECAUSE OF 06:57 THEIR TERRITORY WHERE THEY LIVE-IT'S HARD TO GET 07:00 THERE. 07:00 IS THAT KIND OF THE RIGHT IMAGE? 07:02 EXACTLY THEY LIVE EXTREMELY REMOTE. 07:05 THEY STILL LIVE AS THEY DID A THOUSAND YEARS AGO 07:10 WITH TRADITIONAL CLOTHING OR NO CLOTHING AH, MANY OF 07:14 THESE TRIBES THEY ARE IN WITH OTHER TRIBES AND THEY 07:17 CAN'T LEAVE THEIR TERRITORIAL AREA SO THEY 07:19 ARE CLUTCHED INTO A SMALL POCKET OF LAND. 07:24 SO, ABOUT HOW MANY -I'M SURE IT DIFFERS BETWEEN 07:27 TRIBES BUT HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? 07:29 SOME AS SMALL AS, I DON'T KNOW, TWENTY TO FIFTY 07:33 FAMILIES -OTHERS INTO THOUSANDS. 07:35 THOUSANDS OK. 07:36 SO, THEN LET'S TAKE THIS A STEP FURTHER. 07:39 THERE IS NO EDUCATION THEN? 07:41 NO, THIS IS WHAT I QUESTION. 07:42 THEY DON'T HAVE WESTERN EDUCATION BUT I RECENTLY 07:45 MET A TRIBE VERY ISOLATED. 07:49 THEY HAD RECENTLY COME INTO CONTACT BUT THEY HAD 07:53 TRADITIONAL FORMS OF EDUCATION. 07:55 I MET WITH THEIR HEALER AND I FIRST THOUGHT HE WAS 07:59 LIKE A WITCH DOCTOR OR SOMETHING LIKE THIS THAT 08:02 DID SPIRITISTIC. 08:03 HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING SPIRITISTIC BUT THEY HAD 08:05 DEVELOPED QUITE A DEGREE OF MEDICAL SCIENCE AND HE 08:10 HAD MANY, MANY COMPOUNDS THAT HE WOULD MAKE BY 08:13 MIXING DIFFERENT HERBS, EXTRACTING THE ESSENCES 08:16 AND THEN CREATING NEW COMPOUNDS AND BEING ABLE 08:21 TO HEAL MANY, MANY DISEASES ESPECIALLY IN THE 08:23 AMAZON AREA. 08:25 THERE IS QUITE AN EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE OF, 08:27 YES, MEDICINAL HERBS, YES, AND EVEN MIXING NUMEROUS 08:30 HERBS TOGETHER TO MAKE AH MEDICINE, TO MAKE 08:34 MEDICINE. 08:35 WELL, AND WE HEAR THAT AROUND THE WORLD AND SO AS 08:37 YOU SAID THAT I'M THINKING, OK SO, THIS MAN 08:39 HAS HIS OWN PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY RIGHT THERE IN HIS 08:41 ISOLATED TRIBE. 08:42 YES, I WAS IN HIS LITTLE VILLAGE AND HE HAD TWELVE 08:45 STUDENTS AND 10 OR 12 STUDENTS THAT HE WAS 08:50 TEACHING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN SOMEONE CAME AND 08:52 SAID SOMEONE IS SICK AND SO HE GOT HIS BAG OF 08:56 THINGS AND OFF HE WENT, OFF HE WENT. 08:58 THEN I TALKED WITH ONE OF HIS STUDENTS AND HE SAYS 09:01 THERE IS ABOUT 10 RO 12 OF US THAT ARE STUDYING SO 09:04 THAT WE WILL ALSO BE AH, HEALTH WORKERS. 09:08 AND IASKED THEM WHAT IT WAS, WELL WE KNOW 09:10 EXTENSIVELY THE PLANTS IN THE RAINFOREST AND WE KNOW 09:12 HOW TO BRING THEM TOGETHER. 09:13 WE BRING -THEY HAD MANY DIFFERENT PROCESSES AND 09:14 DIFFERENT PLANTS OF HOW TO EXTRACT THE MEDICINAL 09:15 PROPERTIES. 09:16 OK. 09:17 SO, YOU'VE PAINTED THE PICTURE OF WHERE THESE 09:19 PEOPLE LIVE. 09:20 I KIND OF HAVE AN IDEA IN MY MIND OF SOME OF THE 09:30 CHALLENGES THAT THEY HAVE. 09:31 MAYBE PERHAPS A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE. 09:34 HOW IS IT FOR YOU TO GO TO THESE PLACES THEN? 09:37 YOU KNOW, ARE YOU SAFE IN COMING IN AS A WESTERN 09:40 CAUCASIAN MAN? 09:41 I MEAN HOW ARE YOU ACCEPTED? 09:42 WELL, NOT ALL OF THESE PLACES ARE SAFE FOR ME TO 09:45 GO BUT I CAN VISIT A FEW PLACES. 09:48 WE WORK WITH IN SOME AREAS BUT WE, AS WE DO WITH THE 09:54 REST OF OUR WORK- MUSLIM, ETC. WE WORK A LOT WITH 09:58 LOCAL PEOPLE. 09:59 UH HUH. 10:00 OR WITH SOMEONE WHO IS A CLOSE TYPE OF PERSON WHO 10:02 CAN WORK WITH THEM. 10:03 WHO CAN WORK WITH THEM, OK SO THAT BRIDGES THE GAP. 10:05 THAT BRIDGES THE GAP BECAUSE WHILE IT MIGHT 10:07 SOUND VERY CRAZY ON TV OR SOMETHING LIKE THIS SOME 10:11 OF THESE GROUPS IN THE AMAZON JUNGLE AND 10:13 ELSEWHERE ARE STILL CANNIBAL PEOPLE. 10:16 THEY ARE STILL LIVING IN VERY PRIMITIVE WAYS. 10:19 IT IS STILL DANGEROUS TO VISIT THEM. 10:21 IN 2017. 10:22 IN 2017 YES MA'M. 10:24 WOW. 10:25 AMAZING TO THINK ABOUT THIS. 10:27 SO, HERE IS THE QUESTION. 10:30 SO, YOU'VE SHARE ALL OF THAT WITH US ABOUT THESE 10:32 ISOLATED TRIBES. 10:33 WHAT IS THE CONNECTION THERE BETWEEN ALL OF THIS 10:36 AND GOSPEL OUTREACH, YES, AND BRING THAT AROUND FOR 10:39 US? 10:39 OK, WELL THIS IS THE BIG NEED. 10:40 AS WE HAVE BEEN SAYING, THERE IS SOMEWHERE AND 10:45 SOME PEOPLE HAVE SAID THERE IS 15-20, MAYBE 50 10:49 FROM OUR RESEARCH WE BELIEVE THERE IS SEVERAL 10:52 HUNDRED ISOLATED TRIBES STILL. 10:54 THE GOSPEL COMMISSION SAYS THAT WE NEED TO TAKE THE 10:57 GOSPEL TO EVERY NATION, TRIBE, LANGUAGE PEOPLE 10:59 GROUP. 11:00 THAT'S TRUE. 11:01 AND SO, OUR CHALLENGE WOULD BE THAT WHILE THERE 11:05 ISN'T MUCH WORK AT THIS POINT WE WOULD CHALLENGE 11:09 GOSPEL OUTREACH TO PARTNER WITH NPRAXIS TO REACH 11:12 THESE ISOLATED GROUPS OR SEVERAL OF THEM. 11:14 WE'VE ALREADY BEEN WORKING SOMEWHAT IN COLLABORATION 11:17 FOR ABOUT 3 ½ YEARS WITH AN ISOLATED TRIBE AND 11:22 SORRY I REALLY CAN'T SHARE BECAUSE IN MOST COUNTRIES 11:24 IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO SHARE AH, TO WORK WITH 11:28 ISOLATED TRIBES BUT AGAIN ONE OF THE UNIONS OF OUR 11:31 CHURCH THEY SAID, WE HAVE THIS ONE BROTHER-HE'S BEEN 11:34 WORKING AS A PASTOR BUT HE REALLY CAME FROM THIS VERY 11:37 SMALL ISOLATED TRIBE IN THE MOUNTAINS. 11:39 WOULD YOU LIKE TO WORK WITH HIM? 11:41 UH HUH. 11:42 AND SO, HE WOULD JUST GROWING UP, YOU KNOW HE 11:45 HAD GONE FROM LOIN CLOTH TO BEING A PASTOR AND HE 11:48 WAS - OK, THIS MAN WENT FROM LOINCLOTH TO BEING A 11:50 PASTOR? 11:51 HE CAME OUT OF HIS LITTLE TRIBE. 11:54 HE WANTED TO -HE BECAME AN ADVENTIST AND EVENTUALLY 11:58 ENDED UP WORKING LIKE A BIBLE WORK PASTOR. 12:01 IN HIS COUNTRY. 12:02 IN HIS COUNTRY BUT NOT IN HIS PEOPLE GROUP. 12:04 OK. 12:05 BECAUSE HIS PEOPLE GROUP WERE WAY UP LOCATED IN THE 12:06 MIDDLE OF THE JUNGLE. 12:07 OK. 12:08 AND THE UNION SAID, WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN 12:10 WORKING WITH HIM. 12:11 WE SAID, SURE. 12:12 WE CAN DO IT. 12:13 THEY SAID IT IS TOO FAR FOR US TO WORK WHERE HE IS 12:15 FROM BUT IT WOULD BE MUCH MORE BENEFICIAL FOR HIM TO 12:18 WORK AMONG HIS OWN PEOPLE. 12:21 SO, HE WAS EXTREMELY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. 12:23 THEY RELEASED HIM TO US. 12:24 THEY EVEN GAVE HIM-WE CONTINUED WITH HIS FUNDING 12:28 AND HE MOVED BACK TO WORK AMONG HIS PEOPLE GROUP. 12:31 THAT HAS BEEN NOW JUST A LITTLE OVER 3 ½ YEARS AND 12:34 HE HAS PLANTED OVER 400 CONGREGATIONS GOING FROM 12:38 LITTLE VILLAGE TO LITTLE VILLAGE- HIM ANDHIS WIFE 12:40 TOGETHER AS A TEAM. 12:42 HE RAISED UP TEN OTHER WORKERS TO WORK WITH HIM. 12:45 THEY RAISED-THEY PAY HIS VOLUNTEER WORKERS THE NEW 12:49 BELIEVERS PAY IN YAMS AND DIFFERENT FOOD THAT THEY 12:54 GIVE THEM BUT THIS IS A PLACE WHERE WE WOULD LIKE 12:58 TO PARTNER WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH. 12:59 JUST ANOTHER 10 WORKERS THERE SO WE COULD JUST 13:02 REACH-BECAUSE WE FOUND THIS LITTLE TRIBE THAT 13:04 GOES ACROSS A COUPLE OF COUNTRIES. 13:06 IT IS IN A VERY, IN A FOREST, DEEP FOREST AREA. 13:09 THEY ARE FOREST PEOPLE AND THEY RUN ACROSS TWO 13:10 COUNTRIES AND ON BOTH SIDES OF THAT- IN BOTH 13:12 COUNTRIES THAT PEOPLE GROUP THAT WE HAVE FOUND 13:13 THAT ARE STILL LOINCLOTH PEOPLE. 13:14 BASICALLY NAKED. 13:15 THEIR BIG, BIG LEADER HAD A BIG VISION OF JESUS. 13:16 THEIR LEADER HAD AVISION OF JESUS? 13:18 RECENTLY, OR? 13:18 WITHIN THE LAST 4 ½ YEARS. 13:35 INTERESTING. 13:36 AND THERE IS ACTUALLY ABOUT 100,000 OF THESE 13:39 TRIBAL PEOPLE ALMOST NO ONE KNEW MUCH ABOUT THEM 13:42 AND THAT'S ODD TO FIND AN ISOLATED TRIBE THAT IS SO 13:45 LARGE AND WE HAVE TRANSLATED SO THAT THEY 13:46 COULD HAVE INTO THEIR LANGUAGE THOUGH THE PEOPLE 13:47 DON'T READ AND WRITE BUT WE HAVE IT IN THEIR 13:49 LANGUAGE NOW-THE BOOK OF MARK SO THAT IT CAN BE 13:50 LEARNED ORALLY AND TAUGHT TO THE PEOPLE. 13:51 SO, THIS MAN HE AND HIS WIFE FORMERLY HE WORE A 13:53 LOINCLOTH, NOW HE HAS GONE AND HE HAS 400 CHURCHES. 13:54 400 YES. 13:55 I WOULDN'T CALL THEM LIKE BIG CHURCHES, GATHERINGS, 13:59 FAMILIES - EXACTLY HE HAS 400 HOME FELLOWSHIPS, YES, 14:14 OK BUT SEE THE BIBLE SAYS WHERE TWO OR MORE ARE 14:16 GATHERED-YES, THESE ARE BIGGER THESE ARE PROBABLY 14:18 10,12 OR 15 PEOPLE IN EACH ONE OF THESE 14:26 CONGREGATIONS. 14:27 THAT'S A CHURCH. 14:30 SO, THESE LITTLE CHURCHES HE HAS PLANTED ABOUT 400 14:33 OF THESE. 14:33 WOW. 14:35 SO, BACK TO I WAS LOOKING UP AS YOU WERE SAYING 14:37 THAT, SO IN MATTHEW-THEREFORE GO AND 14:41 MAKE DISCIPLES AND AGAIN IT SAYS, ALL NATIONS IT 14:44 DOESN'T SAY NATIONS IT SAYS ALL, BAPTIZING THEM 14:48 IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY 14:51 SPIRIT AND TEACHING THEM TO OBEY EVERYTHING I HAVE 14:54 COMMANDED YOU AND SURELY, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS TO 14:56 THE VERY END OF THE AGE. 14:57 SO, THIS MAN HAS TAKEN THIS SERIOUSLY. 14:59 HE HAS AND HE KEEPS CALLING AND SAYING, PLEASE 15:02 I NEED TEN MORE WORKERS AND SO MY REQUEST TO 15:05 GOSPEL OUTREACH WOULD BE: WE REALLY NEED TEN MORE 15:09 WORKERS. 15:10 THEY GET SOMETHING LIKE $100 A MONTH BUT IT WOULD 15:13 PROVIDE HIM TO BE ABLE TO REALLY EXPAND AND WE COULD 15:16 EXPAND ACROSS THIS WHOLE PEOPLE GROUP. 15:20 YOU KNOW, AGAIN I SIT HERE AND I HAVE THE BLESSING 15:24 AND THE PRIVILEGE TO TALK WITH ALL OF YOU ON 15:27 "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS" HERE AND WE THINK OF OUR 15:31 FIRST WORLD NEEDS THAT WE THINK OF OH, I NEED THIS 15:34 AND I NEED THIS AND IT PUTS IT ALL INTO 15:39 PERSPECTIVE, DOESN'T IT? 15:40 IT DOES, YES. 15:41 AND HERE IS THIS MAN WHO COMES FROM BASICALLY 15:44 WEARING NOTHING AND LOOK WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR THE 15:46 LORD. 15:47 I MEAN HE IS SO ON FIRE BECAUSE I'VE MET WITH HIM 15:50 HERE NOT TOO LONG AGO AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR 15:53 AND HE WAS JUST SO EXCITED-EXPLAINING AND YOU 15:55 KNOW, WE HAD A WHOLE GROUP OF ABOUT 20 WORKERS AND HE 15:59 WAS SO EXCITED HE WAS WANTING TO TAKE UP THE 16:01 WHOLE THING SHARING WHAT GOD HAD BEEN DOING THROUGH 16:04 HIM. 16:05 WELL, BLESS HIS HEART. 16:06 BLESS HIS HEART AND IF YOU ARE EXCITED ABOUT WHAT YOU 16:08 ARE HEARING TODAY HERE

BIBLE TELLS US THAT CHRIST WILL COME AFTER THE 16:35 GOSPEL HAS BEEN PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD. 16:37 THE WORLD'S POPULATION EXCEEDS 7 BILLION, BUT 3 16:43 BILLION PEOPLE STILL NEED TO HEAR ABOUT JESUS' LOVE. 16:46 NINETY-SEVEN PERCENT OF THE UNREACHED PEOPLE LIVE 16:50 IN THE AREA FROM 10 TO 40 DEGREES NORTH OF THE 16:53 EQUATOR- FROM WEST AFRICA, THE MIDDLE EAST, INDIA, 16:58 CHINA, TO

SOME EXCITING PEOPLE IN 19:18 ISOLATED TRIBES AND YOU WERE JUST SHARING BEFORE 19:20 THE BREAK ABOUT A MAN WHO HAS STARTED 400 CHURCHES, 19:25 GATHERINGS OF PEOPLE, KNOWING ABOUT THE LIVING 19:28 OF GOD. 19:29 ABSOLUTELY. 19:30 AND YOU SAID THIS MAN IS JUST TOTALLY ON FIRE FOR 19:32 THE LORD. 19:32 HE IS. 19:33 HE IS SO EXCITED THAT AND HE IS SEEING FRUITS AND 19:36 HIS WHOLE TRIBE IS COMING TOGETHER- KIND OF THE BIG 19:40 CHIEF OF THEIR TRIBE WHO IS BOTH A CHIEF AND THE 19:42 PRIEST. 19:43 AH, HE HAD SOME VERY SIGNIFICANT DREAMS OF 19:46 JESUS THAT THEIR TRIBE NEEDED TO PREPARE FOR THE 19:50 SECOND COMING OF JESUS AND THAT HE WAS ACTUALLY THE 19:55 CREATOR GOD THAT THEY HAD ALL ALWAYS WORSHIPED 19:57 WITHOUT REALLY KNOWING HIM WELL AND THEN HE BROUGHT A 20:00 DIVINE CONTACT WITH ONE OF OUR LEADERS AND NOW MAYBE 20:04 ABOUT FOUR PLUS YEARS AGO AND HE HAD GOTTEN VERY, 20:09 VERY SICK AND OUR LEADER WAS CROSS -TRAVELING 20:13 THROUGH A REMOTE AREA AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THESE MEN 20:17 WERE WAVING THEM DOWN BUT IT IS ALSO AN AREA WHERE 20:21 KNOWN TERRORISTS HIDE-NOT ISLAMIC TERRORISTS BUT 20:25 GUERRILLA WARRIORS HIDE AND THEY WILL TAKE DOWN 20:28 WHOEVER COMES IN THE AREA- KILL THEM, STEAL THEIR 20:31 FUNDS AND MONEY SO THEY WERE VERY SCARED TO STOP 20:34 AND THE TAXI JUST KIND OF SWERVED AND KEPT GOING BUT 20:37 OUR LEADER WHO WAS IN THE BACK SEAT FELT THIS STRONG 20:40 IMPRESSION TO TELL THE TAXI DRIVER TO GO BACK AND 20:42 HE IS EMBARASSED AND THE TAXI KEEPS GOING. 20:45 FINALLY, HE JUST HAS THIS OVERWHELMING SENSATION 20:47 -TELL THE TAXI DRIVER TO GO BACK. 20:49 SO, HE SAID, EXCUSE ME SIR, COULD YOU PLEASE TURN 20:52 AROUND AND GO BACK AND SEE THOSE PEOPLE. 20:53 HE SAID, THIS IS THE MOST DANGEROUS AREA. 20:56 IT IS WAY TOO DANGEROUS. 20:57 I DON'T WANT TO. 20:58 HE SAYS, I WILL TAKE THE RESPONSIILITY IF ANYTHING 21:00 HAPPENS. 21:01 SO, FINALLY RELUCTANTLY THE TAXI DRIVER DRIVES 21:03 BACK. 21:04 THERE IS THIS OLD CHIEF. 21:06 THESE MEN BRING HIM OUT OF THE JUNGLE PUT HIM IN THE 21:10 TAXI AND THEN HE HEARS OUR LEADER SAYS- HEARS A 21:13 VOICE-PRAY FOR HIM AND HE WILL BE HEALED. 21:15 OH MY. 21:16 AND HE YOU KNOW, ANY ONE OF US WOULD FEEL A LITTLE 21:19 STRANGE, YES, SO HE TELLS AGAIN THE TAXI TO STOP. 21:23 HE COMMUNICATES HALFWAY WITH THESE MEN WHO HAVE 21:25 COME OUT OF THE JUNGLE THAT DIDN'T KNOW THE 21:27 DOMINATE LANGUAGE BUT HE ASKED, CAN I PRAY AND HE 21:31 DOES THIS SIGN LANGUAGE AND HE PRAYS AND WITHIN 21:33 ABOUT FIVE MINUTES THE MAN WAS HEALED. 21:34 HE GETS UP-DOESN'T HAVE TO GO AND HE SAID THE MAN 21:35 INDICATES HE KNOWS A LITTLE BIT OF THE TRIBE 21:37 LANGUAGE -THIS CHIEF PRIEST AND HE COMMUNICATES 21:38 THAT HE HAD ALREADY BEEN TOLD THAT HE WOULD BE 21:39 HEALED BY HIM AND THAT HE HAD TO COME TO HIS VILLAGE 21:41 TO TEACH THEM ABOUT GOD. 21:42 AND SO, THEN HE HEARD ABOUT ALL THE DREAMS AND 21:43 VISIONS AND HE HAD ALREADY SEEN IN HIS VISIONS THE 21:44 BIBLE AND ASKED IF THEY COULD SOMEHOW HELP THEM 21:45 TRANSLATE IT IN THEIR LANGUAGE. 21:46 SO, THEN THEY USED THE LETTERS OF THE TRIBE 21:47 LANGUAGE TO TRANSLATE IN AND HE HAD SOME YOUNG MAN 21:49 AND THEY TRANSLATED THE BOOK OF MARK LAST YEAR 21:50 INTO THEIR LANGUAGE. 21:51 OH MY. 21:51 I'M GLAD I'M SITTING DOWN. 21:52 SO, THIS WHOLE COMMUNITY WAS OPEN AND GOD STARTED 21:53 WORKING WITH THIS CHIEF OF THIS TRIBE THAT IS IN ONE 21:54 COUNTRY AND THEY FOUND THIS EXTENDED OVER A VERY 21:56 LONG AREA -JUST A VERY SHORT AREA BUT THEY LIVE 21:57 KIND OF CROWDED IN THIS FOREST. 21:58 AND DO THEY KNOW THAT IT STRADDLES TWO COUNTRIES? 21:59 THEY KNOW THAT IS STRADDLES. 22:01 BASICALLY, THEY HAVE SOME UNDERSTANDING BUT GOD THEN 22:02 WORKED THROUGH THIS YOUNG MAN WHO BECAME AN 22:03 ADVENTIST AND THEN HE WENT BACK AND STARTED THESE BUT 22:04 THIS OLD MAN KIND OF PAVED THE WAY BECAUSE IT WENT 22:06 LIKE WILDFIRE THROUGH THE TRIBE ABOUT WHAT HAD 22:07 HAPPENED-THAT HE HAD THESE VISIONS AND DREAMS OF 22:09 JESUS AND THEIR TRIBE IS SUPPOSED TO ACCEPT JESUS. 22:12 THE BOOK TALKS ABOUT VISIONS AND WHO ARE WE TO 22:20 QUESTION ANYTHING LIKE THAT AND I KNOW, IN MY 22:36 FAMILY, MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER SHE WENT AND 22:44 HEARD SERMONS IN SWEDISH AND SHE WAS NORWEGIAN AND 22:46 SHE WOULD GO HOME EVERY NIGHT AND SHE WOULD DREAM 23:11 THE SAME SERMON IN NORWEGIAN. 23:15 WOW. 23:16 YES, AND THAT'S HOW SHE CAME TO KNOW ABOUT THE 23:19 SEVENTH DAY AND SO I -THE BIBLE TELLS US AND WE HEAR 23:23 THESE STORIES OF PEOPLE AND WHAT A COMMITMENT AND 23:26 GOOD FOR THAT MAN FOR THE PROMPTING OF THE HOLY 23:29 SPIRIT TO TURN THAT TAXI AROUND. 23:31 YES. 23:32 WELL, MARTY THIS IS JUST REALLY EXCITING TO HEAR 23:34 ABOUT THESE STORIES AND I KNOW THAT BECAUSE OF 23:37 SAFETY REASONS, CONFIDENTIALITY THAT YOU 23:40 CAN'T SPECIFICALLY SAY THE COUNTRIES WHERE THEY ARE 23:42 BUT WE CERTAINLY CAN PRAY FOR THEM HERE AT GOSPEL 23:44 OUTREACH AND ASK THE VIEWERS TO HELP DONATE SO 23:48 THAT WE ARE HELPING SUPPORT THIS MAN AND AS HE 23:51 WORKS WITH THESE DIFFERENT GROUPS. 23:53 YES. 23:54 SO, WHAT'S IT LIKE FOR YOU TO BE INVOLVED WITH THIS 23:59 AND HOW DOES THIS ENERGIZE YOU? 24:02 WELL, IT'S EXCITING AND AFTER WORKING WITH THIS 24:06 ISOLATED TRIBE, IT DIDN'T HIT ME BUT THEN ALL OF A 24:08 SUDDEN IT STARTED I STARTED WONDERING ABOUT 24:10 TWO YEARS AGO-COULD IT BE THAT THERE IS OTHER 24:13 ISOLATED TRIBES AROUND THE WORLD? 24:14 UH HUH. 24:15 BECAUSE WE KIND OF THOUGHT THAT IN THE 60'S EARLY 24:17 70'S MISSIONARIES HAD SPREAD OUT FROM EVERY 24:21 DENOMINATION AND CREED AND HAD GONE SEARCHING FOR 24:24 THESE TRIBES AND THOUGHT THAT THEY'D BASICALLY 24:26 TAKEN THE GOSPEL TO MOST OF THEM. 24:28 AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT WAS KIND OF THOUGHT IN THE 24:30 MISSION COMMUNITY BUT AS WE STARTED RESEARCHING WE 24:33 FOUND THAT THERE IS ACTUALLY QUITE A LARGE 24:35 GROUP OF THESE AND THERE IS A LOT IN THE AMAZON 24:38 JUNGLES SPREAD ACROSS A HALF DOZEN COUNTRIES AND 24:42 IN LATIN AMERICA MAYBE SIX OR SEVEN COUNTRIES OR 24:44 MORE. 24:45 THERE IS IN ASIA. 24:47 THERE IS IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC ISLANDS STILL AND 24:50 RECENTLY I'VE HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO GO TO A 24:51 COUNTRY IN SOUTH AMERICA. 24:52 NOW EVEN IN SOUTH AMERICA THAT HAS RELIGIOUS FREEDOM 24:53 THE GOVERNMENTS HAVE PROHIBITED TO WORK WITH 24:54 ISOLATED PEOPLES. 24:55 REALLY? 24:56 AND SO, ITS FOR NUMEROUS FACTORS SECULAR 24:57 ANTHROPOLOGISTS DON'T WANT ISOLATED PEOPLES BEING 24:59 CONTAMINATED BY CHRISTIANS. 25:00 THE DOMINATE RELIGION IN THE AREA IS LEARY ABOUT 25:01 HAVING PROTESTANTS THERE. 25:02 THE GOVERNMENTS IN MOST OF THE COUNTRIES ALL ACROSS 25:03 THE WORLD WHERE THERE IS ISOLATED MOST OF THESE 25:04 AREAS ARE ALREADY IN WHAT THEY CALL RESERVES OR 25:05 HABITATS PUT ASIDE FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND SO 25:07 THERE IS A LOT OF CORRUPTION SELLING TO BIG 25:08 OIL COMPANIES-LEASES TO WORK ILLEGALLY ON THIS AND 25:09 TO BIG LOGGING COMPANIES. 25:10 SO, EVERYONE INVOLVED DOESN'T WANT TO HAVE 25:11 PROTESTANT MISSIONARIES BECAUSE ONCE THEY COME IN 25:13 THE STATUS QUO CHANGES. 25:14 YES, AND THAT'S AN UNKNOWN AND PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT 25:15 TO DO WITH THAT. 25:16 AND PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THEY DON'T WANT THE 25:17 MISSIONARIES SAYING, HEY, THESE LOGGERS ARE 25:18 DESTROYING THE NATURAL HABITAT OF THIS INDIGENOUS 25:19 GROUP THAT ARE GOING TO BE WIPED OUT. 25:21 SO, AS WE STARTED RESEARCHING WE STARTED 25:22 FINDING THAT ACTUALLY THERE IS A LOT AND RIGHT 25:23 AFTER MEETING WITH YOU HERE BACK IN APRIL, I MADE 25:25 A TRIP TO SOUTH AMERICA, THE COUNTRY THAT YOU ARE 25:26 JUST COMING BACK FROM AND GOD IN HIS PROVIDENCE OF 25:27 THINGS, WE HEARD OF AN ADVENTIST LADY. 25:29 SHE HAS WORKED FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF HER COUNTRY 25:30 TRACKING INDIGENOUS TRIBES ON BEHALF OF THE COUNTRY. 25:31 REALLY? 25:32 AND SO, SHE HAS TRACKED SOMEWHERE OVER 100 25:33 ISOLATED TRIBES. 25:34 NOW SOME OF THESE TRIBES HAVE HAD CONTACT, SOME 25:37 HAVE NOT HAD MUCH CONTACT BUT SHE HAS BEEN A KEY 25:44 PERSON IN THE GOVERNMENT AND SHE HAS A VERY BIG 25:51 CALLING OF GOD TO GO AND WORK AMONG THESE PEOPLE 25:58 THAT SHE TRACKED. 26:00 SHE IS ACTUALLY -SHE IS A NEUROPSYCHOLOGIST BY TRADE 26:06 BUT BY PASSION SHE WORKS WITH ISOLATED PEOPLES. 26:11 WOW. 26:12 AND SHE HAS BECOME A TRACKER. 26:17 SHE HAS LEARNED TO TRACK LIKE FOR AH, DAYS AND DAYS 26:20 ON END UP TO TWO OR THREE WEEKS AND SHE HAS A REAL 26:37 CALLING OF GOD TO WORKWITH HER PEOPLE AND TO DO THAT 26:40 AND I WOULD LIKE TO CHALLENGE GOSPEL OUTREACH 26:44 TO HELP US FUND HER SHARE JOB FROM THE GOVERNMENT TO 26:50 LIVE IN HER COUNTRY. 26:53 WE WOULD NEED ABOUT $1500 A MONTH PLUS TRAVEL 26:57 EXPENSES BUT I WOULD JUST REQUEST THE AUDIENCE IF 27:03 THERE IS ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO HELP US COVER A 27:25 SALARY FOR HER. 27:27 WELL, YOU HAVE GIVEN US A LOT TO THINK AND PRAY 27:29 ABOUT MARTY AND WE WILL DEFINITELY ASK OUR VIEWERS 27:31 TO DO THAT. 27:32 AND WE THANKYOU AND MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU AS YOU 27:34 CONTINUE TO WORK FOR HIM. 27:36 AND WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR BEING INVOLVED HERE AT 27:38 GOSPEL OUTREACH. 27:39 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR INVOLVEMENT AND MAY THE 27:41 LORD BLESS YOU. 27:42 ON BEHALF OF "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS" I'M JULIE |
