WELCOME TO
ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS.
00:00:32.93\00:00:32.96
I'M LYNELLE ELLIS YOUR
HOST AND JOINING ME TODAY
00:00:34.66\00:00:38.10
IS MARTY PHILLIPS.
00:00:38.13\00:00:39.60
MARTY WORKS FOR AN
ORGANIZATION CALLED
00:00:39.63\00:00:41.87
NPRAXIS AND THAT
ORGANIZATION PARTNERS WITH
00:00:41.90\00:00:45.37
GOSPEL OUTREACH TO REACH
SOME PEOPLE GROUPS AROUND
00:00:45.41\00:00:48.51
THE WORLD THAT
TRADITIONALLY HAVE BEEN
00:00:48.54\00:00:50.51
KIND OF DIFFICULT TO REACH.
00:00:50.55\00:00:52.28
SO I'M VERY EXCITED TO
BE TALKING WITH MARTY TODAY
00:00:52.31\00:00:54.82
AND FIND OUT MORE
ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT
00:00:54.85\00:00:57.02
HAVE BEEN RECENTLY
HAPPENING WITH YOUR WORK
00:00:57.05\00:00:59.45
AROUND THE WORLD.
00:00:59.49\00:01:00.76
WELCOME.
00:01:00.79\00:01:01.36
THANK YOU SO MUCH LYNELLE.
00:01:01.39\00:01:02.39
IT'S A REAL PLEASURE AND
PRIVILEGE TO BE HERE WITH
00:01:02.42\00:01:05.26
YOU TODAY.
00:01:05.29\00:01:06.33
AND IT IS.
00:01:06.36\00:01:07.76
FOR ME MY BIGGEST
PASSION IS TO TRACK WHERE IS GOD
00:01:07.76\00:01:11.00
WORKING AMONG
UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUPS.
00:01:11.03\00:01:13.67
AND SO WE
ORIGINALLY STARTED WORKING WITH
00:01:13.70\00:01:15.67
MUSLIMS.
00:01:15.70\00:01:16.67
FROM THERE WE EXPANDED
TO WORK ALSO WITH HINDUS.
00:01:16.71\00:01:19.34
THEN WE WENT TO
OTHER PEOPLE GROUPS SUCH AS
00:01:19.37\00:01:21.64
ISOLATED TRIBES IN
THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, IN
00:01:21.68\00:01:26.08
FORESTS AND JUNGLES.
00:01:26.11\00:01:27.88
AND MORE RECENTLY WE
FOUND HEY, IF THESE PRINCIPLES
00:01:27.92\00:01:31.49
ARE WORKING WITH
SUCCESS AMONG THESE UNREACHED
00:01:31.52\00:01:35.49
PEOPLE GROUPS WHAT
ABOUT THE LARGE WESTERN
00:01:35.52\00:01:36.83
UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUP
OF POST CHRISTIAN WESTERN
00:01:36.86\00:01:38.73
WORLD.
00:01:38.76\00:01:39.59
I THINK THESE SAME
PRINCIPLES WILL WORK.
00:01:39.63\00:01:41.93
SO WE WORK WITH SEVERAL
DIFFERENT PEOPLE GROUPS.
00:01:41.96\00:01:47.04
SHOULD I CLARIFY THAT
YOU WOULD BE MORE SPECIFIC IF
00:01:50.27\00:01:52.67
YOU COULD BUT BECAUSE
SOME OF THE PEOPLE GROUPS THAT
00:01:52.71\00:01:54.01
YOU ARE WORKING WITH ARE
VERY SENSITIVE THEY MIGHT
00:01:54.04\00:01:57.88
BE SENSITIVE WITH THE
GOVERNMENTS ETC. THAT WE
00:01:57.91\00:02:02.82
WON'T BE AS SPECIFIC
ON THIS EPISODE ABOUT
00:02:02.85\00:02:06.52
COUNTRIES AND ACTUAL GROUPS.
00:02:06.55\00:02:08.69
BUT THEY ARE REAL
STORIES NONETHELESS.
00:02:08.72\00:02:10.23
YES, SO WE SHARE THE REAL STORY.
00:02:10.26\00:02:12.26
WE CAN'T SHARE ON TV
THE COUNTRY WHERE IT IS.
00:02:12.29\00:02:16.56
SOMETIMES THE PEOPLE
GROUP BECAUSE EVEN ISOLATED
00:02:16.60\00:02:19.67
TRIBES IT'S NOW LIKE IN
THE PREVIOUS PROGRAMS THAT
00:02:19.70\00:02:23.41
WE'VE HAD HERE WE CAN'T
TELL THE COUNTRIES BECAUSE
00:02:23.44\00:02:26.41
IT'S NOW AGAINST THE LAW
TO WORK IN ANY COUNTRY IN
00:02:26.44\00:02:30.31
SOUTH AMERICA
WITH ISOLATED TRIBES.
00:02:30.35\00:02:32.18
IF, LET'S SAY THE
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
00:02:32.21\00:02:34.22
CHURCH IN BRAZIL STARTS
WORKING WITH AN ISOLATED
00:02:34.25\00:02:36.92
TRIBE, ACTUALLY THE
DIVISION LEADERSHIP THERE
00:02:36.95\00:02:40.16
CAN GO TO JAIL.
00:02:40.19\00:02:41.09
IT'S VERY VERY AGAINST THE LAW.
00:02:41.12\00:02:43.26
THERE ARE ACTUALLY
CASES OF THIS AND LAWSUITS
00:02:43.29\00:02:46.49
AGAINST CHRISTIANS
WORKING WITH THESE.
00:02:46.53\00:02:48.50
INTERESTING.
00:02:48.53\00:02:49.40
SO WE JUST HAVE TO
BE CAREFUL WITH NOT TO
00:02:49.43\00:02:51.43
MENTION MUSLIMS,
HINDUS AND OTHERS LIKE THIS.
00:02:51.47\00:02:54.70
EVEN THERE'S A RISE OF
FUNDAMENTALISM, AS WE ALL
00:02:54.74\00:02:58.87
KNOW LIKE IN MYANMAR
WHICH WAS BURMA, AMONG
00:02:58.91\00:03:01.74
BUDDHISTS.
00:03:01.78\00:03:02.68
SO IN ALL THE PEOPLE
GROUPS THAT WE WORK WITH
00:03:02.71\00:03:06.21
WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE
AND BE CAREFUL BASICALLY OF
00:03:06.25\00:03:10.25
SHARING NAMES AND EXACT PLACES.
00:03:10.29\00:03:12.89
AND YOU'RE LOOKING
THEN, AS YOU WERE MENTIONING,
00:03:12.92\00:03:15.69
FOR PLACES WHERE YOU CAN
DETERMINE, SO YOU'RE KIND
00:03:15.72\00:03:19.03
OF AN INVESTIGATOR REALLY,
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR PLACES
00:03:19.06\00:03:21.40
WHERE YOU CAN
DETERMINE GOD HAS ALREADY BEEN
00:03:21.43\00:03:23.30
WORKING.
00:03:23.33\00:03:24.03
THEN WHAT HAPPENS?
00:03:24.07\00:03:24.80
YES.
00:03:24.83\00:03:25.77
SO WE TRY TO FIND
WHERE HAS GOD BEEN WORKING.
00:03:25.80\00:03:27.60
AND SO WE LOOK FOR
PLACES LIKE, AN INDICATOR WE
00:03:27.64\00:03:30.77
WOULD LOOK FOR IS,
IS THERE ANY SABBATH.
00:03:30.81\00:03:33.71
IS THERE ANY PEOPLE
IN THIS COUNTRY THAT ARE
00:03:33.74\00:03:36.54
ALREADY KEEPING SABBATH.
00:03:36.58\00:03:37.75
LET'S GO WORK WITH THEM FIRST.
00:03:37.78\00:03:40.22
AND SO SOME OF THE
PLACES WE NOW WORK IN, IN ONE
00:03:40.25\00:03:44.55
COUNTRY THAT WE WORK
WITH WHERE WE HAVE ONE OF OUR
00:03:44.59\00:03:46.76
LARGEST MINISTRIES
WE FOUND A WHOLE TRIBE.
00:03:46.79\00:03:50.29
AND THIS TRIBE IS IN
THE MIDDLE EAST NORTH AFRICA
00:03:50.33\00:03:54.60
SETTING.
00:03:54.63\00:03:55.63
AND THEY FOR HUNDREDS OF
YEARS HAVE ALWAYS KEPT THE
00:03:55.66\00:03:59.17
SABBATH DAY HOLY.
00:03:59.20\00:04:00.17
THEY CALLED IT A SPECIAL DAY.
00:04:00.20\00:04:02.44
THEY DIDN'T DO LIKE
CHURCH OR WORSHIP SERVICE.
00:04:02.47\00:04:04.64
IT'S A MUSLIM TRIBE,
BUT THEY REFRAIN FROM MAJOR
00:04:04.67\00:04:07.51
TRAVEL, MAJOR
COMMERCE, ANY MAJOR WORK.
00:04:07.54\00:04:11.05
THEY WOULD NOT WORK
IN THE FIELDS ON SABBATH.
00:04:11.08\00:04:14.62
AND SO WE FOUND
THIS AS AN ENTRY POINT.
00:04:14.65\00:04:16.79
WE WORK WITH THE TRIBAL
LEADERS OF THAT GROUP AND
00:04:16.82\00:04:21.26
WE HAVE JUST SEEN HOW
GOD HAS JUST MANIFESTED
00:04:21.29\00:04:24.13
HIMSELF OVER AND OVER.
00:04:24.16\00:04:25.89
HOW DO THEY COME TO
THE IDEA THAT THEY SHOULD
00:04:25.93\00:04:28.43
TREAT SABBATH SPECIAL?
00:04:28.46\00:04:31.27
THIS WOULD BE THE
SEVENTH DAY SATURDAY?
00:04:31.30\00:04:33.00
YES.
00:04:33.03\00:04:34.17
WELL, IT'S INTERESTING.
00:04:34.20\00:04:37.24
PROBABLY THEY CONSIDER
THEMSELVES, NOW THESE ARE
00:04:37.27\00:04:41.54
LEGENDS, BUT I KNOW THE
TRIBAL HISTORIAN AND THEY
00:04:41.58\00:04:46.08
TRACE THE DIRECT
LINEAGE BACK TO THE QUEEN OF
00:04:46.11\00:04:48.65
SHEBA.
00:04:48.68\00:04:49.72
AND SO, MANY TRIBES IN
THE AREA AND MANY PEOPLE FROM
00:04:49.75\00:04:53.89
ETHIOPIA AND ACROSS
THE MIDDLE EAST CARRY THIS
00:04:53.92\00:04:57.33
TRADITION THAT
THEY ALWAYS HAD SABBATH.
00:04:57.36\00:04:59.36
AND IT HAD BEEN IN
THEIR COLLECTIVE MEMORY THEY
00:04:59.39\00:05:01.33
WEREN'T KEEPING IT AND
THEN JEWISH MISSIONARIES
00:05:01.36\00:05:05.20
CAME TO THEIR TRIBE.
00:05:05.23\00:05:06.70
DID NOT MAKE THEM JEWS
BUT MADE THEM WHAT YOU CALL
00:05:06.74\00:05:09.97
GOD FEARERS.
00:05:10.01\00:05:11.77
THERE WERE TWO
FORMS OF JEWISH MISSION.
00:05:11.81\00:05:14.21
ONE WAS TO BECOME A
CONVERTED JEW ANOTHER WAS
00:05:14.24\00:05:16.71
TO BE A GOD FEARER.
00:05:16.75\00:05:18.11
AND IN THE PROCESS O
BECOMING GOD FEARERS THEY
00:05:18.15\00:05:21.28
TOOK ON THE SABBATH.
00:05:21.32\00:05:22.35
AND SO THEN FOR CENTURIES,
THEN WHEN ISLAM CAME THEY
00:05:22.38\00:05:25.59
FOUND SUPPORT FOR THE
SABBATH IN THE KORAN AND
00:05:25.62\00:05:29.79
THEY CONTINUED
TO KEEP THE SABBATH.
00:05:29.82\00:05:32.49
AND SO THIS TRIBE HAS
ALWAYS HAD THE SABBATH IN
00:05:32.53\00:05:35.90
THEIR PEOPLE GROUP.
00:05:35.93\00:05:36.90
AND THEN THERE'S AN OLD
TRIBAL LEADER, HE PASSED
00:05:36.93\00:05:42.54
AWAY A FEW YEARS AGO,
BUT HE HAD ABOUT A HUNDRED
00:05:42.57\00:05:46.71
VISIONS AND DREAMS
OF JESUS, OF THE SECOND
00:05:46.74\00:05:50.31
COMING AND THEY NEEDED
TO PREPARE FOR THAT DAY.
00:05:50.35\00:05:53.72
HE HAD NO ACCESS TO A
BIBLE PROBABLY FOR THE
00:05:53.75\00:05:56.22
FIRST THIRTY YEARS OF
HIS MINISTRY, BUT HE WAS
00:05:56.25\00:05:59.79
PREACHING WE NEED TO
PREPARE FOR THE SECOND
00:05:59.82\00:06:01.82
COMING OF CHRIST AND THAT
THE SABBATH WAS GOD'S TRUE
00:06:01.86\00:06:05.36
HOLY DAY.
00:06:05.39\00:06:06.26
IT WASN'T JUST A
TRADITION OF THEIR TRIBE.
00:06:06.29\00:06:08.43
IT WAS SOMETHING
MANDATED BY GOD IN ALL HIS HOLY
00:06:08.46\00:06:11.97
BOOKS EVEN BEFORE HE
EVER SAW A BIBLE, A NEW
00:06:12.00\00:06:15.40
TESTAMENT OR OLD TESTAMENT.
00:06:15.44\00:06:16.91
AND SO HE ACTUALLY
WAS PREACHING THIS IN HIS
00:06:16.94\00:06:19.37
COUNTRY.
00:06:19.41\00:06:20.38
HE ACTUALLY WENT TO
JAIL NUMEROUS TIMES OVER HIS
00:06:20.41\00:06:23.11
PREACHING OF THE
SABBATH IN HIS COUNTRY.
00:06:23.14\00:06:26.28
YOU MENTIONED THE
SECOND COMING AND I READ AN
00:06:26.31\00:06:28.05
ARTICLE RECENTLY IN
CHRISTIANITY TODAY THAT
00:06:28.08\00:06:30.15
WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW
IT'S ACTUALLY MUSLIMS THAT TALK
00:06:30.19\00:06:33.42
THE MOST ABOUT THE
SECOND COMING OF JESUS.
00:06:33.46\00:06:38.49
MAYBE IN A SLIGHTLY
DIFFERENT CONTEXT THAN WE
00:06:38.53\00:06:40.40
MIGHT.
00:06:40.43\00:06:41.43
IT'S TRUE THEY MIGHT HAVE
THEIR ESCHATOLOGY A LITTLE
00:06:41.46\00:06:44.00
DIFFERENT THAN WE DO
BUT DEFINITELY THERE'S A
00:06:44.03\00:06:50.11
STRONG RESURGENCE SINCE
9/11 IN THE MUSLIM WORLD
00:06:50.14\00:06:55.44
THAT'S SAYING WE ARE
CLOSE TO THE LAST DAY.
00:06:55.48\00:06:57.95
WE ARE CLOSE TO WHAT
THEY CALL THE DAY OF JUDGMENT,
00:06:57.98\00:07:00.58
CLOSE TO THE
SECOND COMING OF CHRIST.
00:07:00.62\00:07:02.52
AND SO WE'VE SEEN
MAGAZINE ARTICLES, PEOPLE ON TV
00:07:02.55\00:07:06.76
TALKING ABOUT THIS AND
BOOKS WRITTEN ALL ACROSS
00:07:06.79\00:07:09.72
THE MUSLIM--- WHERE IT'S
SAYING THE TIME OF THE END
00:07:09.76\00:07:12.03
IS AT HAND, IT'S NEAR,
WE NEED TO PREPARE FOR THE
00:07:12.06\00:07:15.13
SECOND COMING OF JESUS.
00:07:15.16\00:07:16.33
IT SOUNDS LIKE
YOU'RE USING SOME OF THESE
00:07:16.36\00:07:18.80
BRIDGES OF COMMON INTEREST
IN REACHING THESE PEOPLE,
00:07:18.83\00:07:24.47
COMMON TRUTHS THAT THEY KNOW.
00:07:24.51\00:07:25.81
YES.
00:07:25.84\00:07:26.41
SOME MORE STORIES PERHAPS?
00:07:26.44\00:07:27.71
SO YES, ALSO IN
ANOTHER COUNTRY ONE OF OUR
00:07:27.74\00:07:31.75
WORKERS, BECAUSE
EVERYONE I START WORKING WITH I
00:07:31.78\00:07:34.55
REALLY WANT TO KNOW
WHO THEY ARE, WHAT'S BEHIND
00:07:34.58\00:07:37.09
THEM AND IT GIVES US
INSIGHT SO WE KNOW HOW TO
00:07:37.12\00:07:39.72
WORK.
00:07:39.75\00:07:40.76
LIKE THE PEOPLE I TALKED
ABOUT IN THE FIRST STORY I
00:07:40.79\00:07:43.79
ONLY FOUND OUT ALL
THIS BECAUSE WE TALKED AND
00:07:43.83\00:07:46.46
TALKED AND THEN ENCOURAGED
THEM TO BUILD UPON WHAT
00:07:46.49\00:07:49.66
THEY HAD BEEN WORKING.
00:07:49.70\00:07:50.60
SO IN ANOTHER
COUNTRY, THIS ONE IN SOUTHEAST
00:07:50.63\00:07:53.57
ASIA, I MET THIS LEADER.
00:07:53.60\00:07:55.87
HE WAS A PART OF OUR
MOVEMENT ALREADY WORKING
00:07:55.90\00:07:57.21
WITH THESE
UNDERGROUND HOUSE CHURCHES AND
00:07:57.24\00:07:58.54
TALKING, TALKING TO HIM.
00:07:58.57\00:07:59.37
WELL WHO WERE YOU,
WHAT WERE YOU DOING.
00:07:59.41\00:08:00.61
WELL MY DAD WAS A
RELIGIOUS LEADER AND HE
00:08:00.64\00:08:01.94
WAS PREPARING ME SINCE
A CHILD TO TAKE HIS PLACE
00:08:01.98\00:08:03.31
BECAUSE IN OUR SYSTEM
YOU INHERIT OR YOU GROW INTO
00:08:03.35\00:08:05.31
IT IF YOU ARE GOOD.
00:08:05.35\00:08:08.18
IF A SON DOESN'T TAKE
IT THAN YOU CAN PASS IT TO
00:08:08.22\00:08:15.02
SOMEONE ELSE, BUT MY
FATHER PREPARED ME SINCE
00:08:15.06\00:08:19.63
THE TIME I WAS A CHILD.
00:08:19.66\00:08:21.83
HE WAS EQUIVALENT TO
LIKE MAYBE A CONFERENCE
00:08:21.86\00:08:24.10
PRESIDENT TO
THEIR RELIGIOUS SYSTEM.
00:08:24.13\00:08:26.97
IT'S AN ISLAMIC SYSTEM
BUT THEY HAVE WITHIN ISLAM
00:08:27.00\00:08:32.11
LIKE SUFI ORDERS.
00:08:32.14\00:08:33.91
AND SO HIS FATHER
BELONGED TO A VERY LARGE SUFI
00:08:33.94\00:08:36.61
ORDER.
00:08:36.64\00:08:37.48
SO I SAID TELL ME
MORE ABOUT THIS ORDER.
00:08:37.51\00:08:40.25
WELL, MY FATHER IS
LIKE A CONFERENCE PRESIDENT.
00:08:40.28\00:08:43.15
HE WAS HOPING I WOULD BE
A LEADER AND ALWAYS, SINCE I
00:08:43.18\00:08:47.12
WAS ABOUT TWELVE, HE
WOULD TAKE ME TO THE NATIONAL
00:08:47.16\00:08:50.99
LEADERSHIP MEETINGS THAT
WOULD BE LIKE OUR WORKERS
00:08:51.03\00:08:53.46
MEETINGS LIKE ON THE
NAD LEVEL, NORTH AMERICAN
00:08:53.50\00:08:55.90
DIVISION.
00:08:55.93\00:08:56.93
AND SINCE I WAS A KID I
WOULD ALWAYS SIT BESIDE MY
00:08:56.97\00:08:59.07
DAD.
00:08:59.10\00:09:00.07
HE INTRODUCED ME AND
I KNOW ALL THE RELIGIOUS
00:09:00.10\00:09:01.40
LEADERSHIP IN THE
COUNTRY FROM OUR ORDER.
00:09:01.44\00:09:04.91
AND WHAT'S THE
SIZE OF THE ORDER?
00:09:04.94\00:09:06.37
WELL IT'S PRETTY BIG,
IT'S INTO THE TENS OF MILLIONS.
00:09:06.41\00:09:09.18
WELL TELL ME MORE.
00:09:09.21\00:09:11.01
WELL WE HAVE THE
SABBATH IN OUR ORDER.
00:09:11.05\00:09:15.65
I SAID WHAT, YOU ACTUALLY
HAVE THIS CONCEPT OF THE
00:09:15.68\00:09:19.32
SABBATH?
00:09:19.35\00:09:19.99
ABSOLUTELY.
00:09:20.02\00:09:20.89
EVER SINCE I WAS A
CHILD MY FATHER HAS VERY
00:09:20.92\00:09:23.19
FAITHFULLY RESTED ON THE
SABBATH DAY EVEN MORE THAN
00:09:23.22\00:09:26.46
ANYONE ELSE THAT I KNOW.
00:09:26.49\00:09:28.40
OUR FAMILY HAS
ALWAYS BEEN VERY OBSERVANT.
00:09:28.43\00:09:30.43
THAT'S WHY I EVENTUALLY
BECAME AN ADVENTIST AND
00:09:30.47\00:09:33.03
THEN I CAME BACK TO
WORK IN THE UNDERGROUND
00:09:33.07\00:09:35.87
MOVEMENT THAT WE HAVE.
00:09:35.90\00:09:37.74
AND SO I START GETTING EXCITED.
00:09:37.77\00:09:39.11
YOU NEED TO GO BACK
AND WORK WITH YOUR FATHER.
00:09:39.14\00:09:41.48
TO MAKE A LONG STORY
SHORT, BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN
00:09:41.51\00:09:44.05
KIND OF ESTRANGED FROM
HIS FATHER FROM BECOMING A
00:09:44.08\00:09:46.38
CHRISTIAN.
00:09:46.41\00:09:47.38
BUT NOW SOMEHOW HE WAS
ABLE TO RE-ESTABLISH THAT
00:09:47.42\00:09:48.38
CONNECTION BACK WITH HIS FAMILY.
00:09:48.42\00:09:49.72
HIS FATHER TOOK AN
EARLY RETIREMENT AND GAVE HIM
00:09:49.75\00:09:51.05
THE LEADERSHIP AS
WELL KNOWING THAT HE WAS A
00:09:51.09\00:09:52.39
FOLLOWER OF JESUS.
00:09:52.42\00:09:53.42
AND NOW IN THE LAST LIKE
TWO YEARS I'VE CHALLENGED
00:09:53.46\00:09:54.46
HIM THAT YOU NEED TO NOW
TAKE THIS MESSAGE TO YOUR
00:09:54.49\00:09:59.49
WHOLE ORDER.
00:10:09.50\00:10:10.44
AND SO HE HAS BEEN
WORKING WITH THE LEADERSHIP.
00:10:10.47\00:10:13.48
VERY HIGH LEADERS
WITHIN THIS ORDER HAVE BECOME
00:10:13.51\00:10:16.71
FOLLOWERS OF JESUS.
00:10:16.75\00:10:18.91
AND SO OUR DREAM IS THAT
EVENTUALLY, ONCE THE TIME
00:10:18.95\00:10:22.28
IS RIGHT, THEN THEY CAN
SHARE THE GOSPEL THROUGH
00:10:22.32\00:10:24.39
THE WHOLE ORDER, THOSE
THAT ARE WITHIN HIS SPHERE
00:10:24.42\00:10:27.46
AND WHO WERE WITH HIM
AND HIS FATHER IN WHAT YOU
00:10:27.49\00:10:31.06
MIGHT CALL A UNION FOR US.
00:10:31.09\00:10:33.09
THERE ARE SEVERAL
HUNDRED OF THESE GROUPS BECAUSE
00:10:33.13\00:10:35.56
THEY ALREADY
MEET EVERY TWO WEEKS.
00:10:35.60\00:10:37.60
AND ALREADY SEVERAL
HUNDRED OF THESE HAVE
00:10:37.63\00:10:42.14
BECOME FOLLOWERS OF
JESUS AND NOW THEY ARE DREAMING
00:10:42.17\00:10:45.44
BECAUSE THEY USED TO
MEET ON LIKE THURSDAY NIGHTS.
00:10:45.47\00:10:48.81
SO NOW THEY'RE
TALKING WITH THE NATIONAL
00:10:48.84\00:10:50.55
LEADERSHIP LET'S MOVE
THIS TO MEET ON FRIDAY NIGHTS
00:10:50.58\00:10:54.35
SO WE USHER IN THE SABBATH.
00:10:54.38\00:10:55.82
AND SO GOD IS JUST
WORKING IN VERY POWERFUL WAYS
00:10:55.85\00:11:00.46
AROUND THE WORLD AND HE
KEEPS TELLING ME, MARTY I
00:11:00.49\00:11:03.49
NEED MORE WORKERS.
00:11:03.53\00:11:04.49
WE ALREADY HAVE THIS
WHOLE MOVEMENT WHO IS READY.
00:11:04.53\00:11:08.53
AND WHEN I GO AND
TELL THEM THAT GOD HAS JUST
00:11:08.56\00:11:10.63
OPENED A WAY AND A WORKER
ASKS THEM, DO YOU KNOW WHY
00:11:10.67\00:11:12.40
WE ARE KEEPING SABBATH
ALREADY AND THEY SAY WELL,
00:11:12.43\00:11:14.67
IT'S OUR TRADITION,
THERE'S A FEW VERSES IN
00:11:14.70\00:11:16.67
THE KORAN, THE WORKER
SAYS LET ME SHARE WITH YOU MORE
00:11:16.71\00:11:19.31
FROM THE PREVIOUS SCRIPTURE.
00:11:19.34\00:11:21.14
AND SO THEN HE WILL OPEN
UP AND PEOPLE ARE AMAZED.
00:11:21.18\00:11:23.88
AND SO IN A COUNTRY WHERE
THE BIBLE WOULD BE KIND OF
00:11:23.91\00:11:27.18
DANGEROUS FOR THEM TO
HAVE, BUT SINCE THEY OPEN
00:11:27.22\00:11:29.25
WITH THIS BEGINNING WEDGE
OF DO YOU KNOW WHY WE KEEP
00:11:29.28\00:11:32.65
THE SABBATH, IT'S SO
MUCH CLEARER IN THE PREVIOUS
00:11:32.69\00:11:35.59
SCRIPTURE, AS MUSLIMS CALL IT.
00:11:35.62\00:11:37.73
AND SO HE WILL THEN
OPEN THE BIBLE AND START TO
00:11:37.76\00:11:39.86
EXPLAIN.
00:11:39.89\00:11:40.90
AND SO HE HAS JUST FOUND
THE RESISTANCE GO WAY WAY
00:11:40.93\00:11:44.03
DOWN AS HE NOW STARTS
TEACHING THEM FROM THE
00:11:44.07\00:11:46.07
BIBLE.
00:11:46.10\00:11:47.10
HE KEEPS SAYING MARTY I
NEED TWENTY MORE WORKERS.
00:11:47.14\00:11:48.50
IF YOU HAD FORTY MORE
WORKERS WE COULD JUST MAKE
00:11:48.54\00:11:51.27
THIS EXPLODE ACROSS
OUR WHOLE NETWORK THAT WE
00:11:51.31\00:11:56.01
HAVE.
00:11:56.04\00:11:57.01
SO WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO
HAVE A WORKER, WHAT DOES
00:11:57.05\00:12:01.85
IT COST?
00:12:01.88\00:12:03.28
BASICALLY AN AVERAGE
OF ABOUT $100 TO $150
00:12:03.32\00:12:06.09
DOLLARS.
00:12:06.12\00:12:06.76
PER MONTH?
00:12:06.79\00:12:07.42
PER MONTH.
00:12:07.46\00:12:08.42
SO IF THERE IS $100
FOR EXAMPLE PER MONTH TIMES
00:12:08.46\00:12:09.42
TWELVE MONTHS $1200,
$1500 WOULD REALLY BE A GOOD
00:12:09.46\00:12:10.76
AMOUNT TO COVER THESE WORKERS.
00:12:10.79\00:12:11.53
THEY NEED SOME
TRAVEL IN THE FIELD.
00:12:11.56\00:12:12.76
BUT IT WOULD JUST
MAKE A MASSIVE IMPACT.
00:12:12.79\00:12:14.10
IT WOULD.
00:12:14.13\00:12:15.16
AND I'M THINKING RIGHT
NOW ABOUT HOW EASILY WE CAN GO
00:12:15.20\00:12:16.13
THROUGH A HUNDRED
DOLLARS, A HUNDRED AND FIFTY
00:12:16.16\00:12:17.17
DOLLARS AND WHAT WE
COULD DO WITH THAT TO PAY FOR
00:12:17.20\00:12:18.77
SOMEBODY FOR A WHOLE
MONTH AND EVEN FIFTEEN HUNDRED
00:12:18.80\00:12:20.10
DOLLARS FOR MANY OF US
IS NOT A HUGE SACRIFICE.
00:12:20.14\00:12:21.44
IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT.
00:12:21.47\00:12:22.37
IT'S SOMETHING THAT
WE COULD DO TO MAKE A BIG
00:12:22.40\00:12:23.47
DIFFERENCE.
00:12:23.51\00:12:24.77
YOU KNOW IF MEANS NOT
GOING A MONTH A COUPLE OF
00:12:24.81\00:12:29.88
TIMES TO THE RESTAURANT,
TO STARBUCKS AND MAKING A
00:12:40.56\00:12:43.36
SMALL SACRIFICE.
00:12:43.39\00:12:44.36
IT CAN PUT A WORKER IN
A CLOSED COUNTRY WHO CAN,
00:12:44.39\00:12:49.10
I'M READY TO
SIGN UP, I REALLY AM.
00:12:56.00\00:12:58.41
I'M SAYING TO MYSELF,
YOU KNOW THIS IS THE FIRST
00:12:58.44\00:13:00.04
TIME I'VE HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO INTERVIEW
00:13:00.08\00:13:01.91
YOU AND REALLY HEAR
ABOUT THIS WORK IN DETAIL SO
00:13:01.94\00:13:04.61
YES, I'M SAYING TO MYSELF
I'M GOING HOME AND TALK TO
00:13:04.65\00:13:06.61
MY HUSBAND ABOUT THIS TONIGHT.
00:13:06.65\00:13:08.15
ARE THERE OTHER
STORIES THAT YOU WANT TO SHARE
00:13:08.18\00:13:11.85
ALONG THIS LINE OF REACHING OUT?
00:13:11.89\00:13:14.29
THERE ARE.
00:13:14.32\00:13:15.06
I DON'T KNOW IF
YOU TAKE A BREAK?
00:13:15.09\00:13:16.29
YES I DO.
00:13:16.32\00:13:17.63
LET'S TAKE ONE
RIGHT NOW IS A GREAT PLAN.
00:13:17.66\00:13:19.76
OKAY, SO WE'LL TAKE A
BREAK AND BE RIGHT BACK
00:13:19.79\00:13:23.83
WITH YOU IN A FEW
MOMENTS SO DO STAY TUNED.
00:13:23.87\00:13:28.37
MARTY HAS A LOT
MORE TO SHARE WITH US.
00:13:28.40\00:13:32.44
WHY HASN'T JESUS COME?
00:13:32.47\00:13:34.24
IT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE A
JOB TO DO, ONE THAT HIS RETURN
00:13:34.28\00:13:39.65
DEPENDS ON.
00:13:39.68\00:13:40.68
THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT
CHRIST WILL COME AFTER THE
00:13:40.72\00:13:45.09
GOSPEL HAS BEEN
PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD.
00:13:45.12\00:13:48.69
THE WORLD'S POPULATION
EXCEEDS 7 BILLION, BUT 3
00:13:48.72\00:13:52.29
BILLION PEOPLE STILL NEED
TO HEAR ABOUT JESUS' LOVE.
00:13:52.33\00:13:56.33
NINETY-SEVEN PERCENT OF
THE UNREACHED PEOPLE LIVE
00:13:56.36\00:13:59.50
IN THE AREA FROM 10 TO
40 DEGREES NORTH OF THE
00:13:59.53\00:14:04.51
EQUATOR.
00:14:04.54\00:14:05.34
GOSPEL OUTREACH
HAS A UNIQUE APPROACH.
00:14:05.37\00:14:07.68
WITH THE SUPPORT OF PEOPLE
LIKE YOU, WE SPONSOR LOCAL
00:14:07.71\00:14:12.18
GOSPEL WORKERS IN
MORE THAN FIFTY COUNTRIES.
00:14:12.21\00:14:15.35
BECAUSE THEY KNOW
THE LANGUAGE, CULTURE AND
00:14:15.38\00:14:18.52
RELIGIONS OF THEIR
NEIGHBORS, THEY FACE FEWER
00:14:18.55\00:14:21.69
CHALLENGES THAN
FOREIGN MISSIONARIES WOULD.
00:14:21.72\00:14:23.93
TOGETHER WITH YOU, WE
FUND MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND
00:14:23.96\00:14:27.96
BIBLE WORKERS,
BUT MORE ARE NEEDED.
00:14:28.00\00:14:30.67
LET'S REACH THE UNREACHED
WITH THE SAVING POWER OF

AND THE WORK THAT MARTY
PHILLIPS IS DOING AND THE
00:15:22.32\00:15:24.65

THAT'S TELLING ABOUT
THE LOVE OF JESUS TO PEOPLE
00:15:33.76\00:15:36.63
WHO ARE WAITING TO HEAR IT.
00:15:36.67\00:15:40.27
ALRIGHT, MUST CONTINUE.
00:15:40.30\00:15:41.80
I KNOW YOU HAVE SOME TO
SHARE WITH US ABOUT SOME
00:15:41.84\00:15:44.67
ADDITIONAL GROUPS.
00:15:44.71\00:15:46.21
AND SOME OF THESE ARE
GROUPS OF PEOPLE WHERE
00:15:46.24\00:15:50.05
CHRISTIANS HAVE ALREADY
BEEN WORKING AND NOW THEY
00:15:50.08\00:15:52.88
HAVE KIND OF
HANDED IT OVER TO YOU.
00:15:52.91\00:15:55.15
HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?
00:15:55.18\00:15:56.18
WELL, NUMEROUS DIFFERENT
FACTORS HAVE HAPPENED BUT
00:15:56.22\00:15:59.69
SOMETIMES IN SOME PLACES
MISSIONARIES HAVE COME TO
00:16:02.92\00:16:05.99
RETIREMENT AND THEY
HAVE BEEN WORKING IN A CLOSED
00:16:06.03\00:16:08.10
COUNTRY AND SINCE WE
HAVE BUILT THIS NETWORK OF
00:16:08.13\00:16:10.93
SUPPORTING UNDERGROUND
HOUSE CHURCHES AND WE HAVE
00:16:10.97\00:16:13.90
REGIONAL DIRECTORS IN THE
AREAS, MANY OF THESE, LIKE
00:16:13.94\00:16:17.27
JUST RECENTLY I MET IN
MINNESOTA A MISSIONARY WHO
00:16:17.31\00:16:20.84
HAD WORKED THIRTY-FIVE
Y EARS IN A CLOSED COUNTRY
00:16:20.88\00:16:23.88
IN AFRICA, WESTERN AFRICA,
WHO WANTED TO GO HOME BUT
00:16:23.91\00:16:30.52
HE DIDN'T WANT TO
LEAVE THIS UNDERGROUND HOUSE
00:16:30.55\00:16:33.49
CHURCH NETWORK WITH
THE TYPICAL BAPTIST CHURCH
00:16:33.52\00:16:36.26
THAT HE BELONGED TO.
00:16:36.29\00:16:37.96
AND SO HE CONTACTED
OUR PEOPLE AND ASKED IF WE
00:16:37.99\00:16:40.66
WOULD BE WILLING TO
OVERSEE THIS MINISTRY.
00:16:40.70\00:16:43.23
IT WAS JUST A
BLESSING HANDED TO YOU.
00:16:43.26\00:16:45.60
AND SO IT'S JUST BEEN
HANDED TO US LIKE THIS AND
00:16:45.63\00:16:49.10
HE HAS A WHOLE NETWORK OF
UNDERGROUND HOUSE CHURCHES
00:16:49.14\00:16:52.37
IN THAT COUNTRY AND THAT
STORY HAS BEEN REPLICATED.
00:16:52.41\00:16:55.48
WE HAVE FOUND OTHERS
WHERE THE MISSIONARIES HAVE
00:16:55.51\00:16:57.51
ALREADY GONE HOME AND
THE NETWORK THEMSELVES COMES
00:16:57.55\00:17:01.55
LOOKING FOR US.
00:17:01.58\00:17:02.48
FOR EXAMPLE IN
ANOTHER VERY CLOSED COUNTRY A
00:17:02.52\00:17:06.35
WHOLE NETWORK HAS BEEN
BANGING ON OUR DOOR FOR
00:17:06.39\00:17:09.62
THE LAST THREE YEARS
TO COME TEACH US YOUR
00:17:09.66\00:17:12.43
BELIEFS.
00:17:12.46\00:17:13.46
WE HAVE HEARD ABOUT WHAT
YOU DO AND WE WANT TO BE A
00:17:13.50\00:17:15.30
PART OF THIS
ADVENTIST NETWORK OF UNDERGROUND
00:17:15.33\00:17:18.03
HOUSE CHURCHES AND WILL
YOU PLEASE FOLLOW UP WITH
00:17:18.07\00:17:21.64
US.
00:17:21.67\00:17:22.60
OKAY, IF THEY HAVE
BEEN ASKING FOR THREE YEARS
00:17:22.64\00:17:23.51
IT'S BECAUSE WE
DON'T HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE?
00:17:23.54\00:17:25.21
WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FUNDS.
00:17:25.24\00:17:26.47
WE HAVE THE PEOPLE
BUT WE NEED FUNDING.
00:17:26.51\00:17:29.48
SO FOR EXAMPLE FOR
THIS COUNTRY WE NEED LIKE
00:17:29.51\00:17:32.41
FIFTEEN SALARIES.
00:17:32.45\00:17:33.68
THEY'RE NOT BIG BUT THEY
ARE $150 A MONTH STIPENDS
00:17:33.72\00:17:37.62
THAT WE NEED AND IT'S
JUST A MATTER OF MORE FUNDING.
00:17:37.65\00:17:41.19
IT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE
LIKE SO MANY OF THESE REQUESTS
00:17:41.22\00:17:43.96
WE NEED ABOUT 350 MORE WORKERS.
00:17:43.99\00:17:47.30
AND SO THIS IS OUR
MAIN THING THAT'S HOLDING US
00:17:47.36\00:17:51.73
BACK.
00:17:51.77\00:17:52.77
SO WE JUST HAVE COUNTRY
AFTER COUNTRY AND ANOTHER
00:17:52.80\00:17:54.94
COUNTRY WE HAVE JUST
HAD, IT'S A BIG COUNTRY BUT
00:17:54.97\00:17:59.91
THERE WERE MAYBE
ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE NETWORKS.
00:17:59.94\00:18:03.48
THE MISSIONARIES WENT HOME.
00:18:03.51\00:18:04.98
THOSE MISSIONARIES HAVE
GIVEN US THEIR BLESSING TO
00:18:05.01\00:18:07.78
PLEASE WORK WITH
OUR GROUP IF YOU CAN.
00:18:07.82\00:18:10.62
AND WE JUST HAVE NOT
HAD THE RESOURCES TO DO IT.
00:18:10.65\00:18:13.22
AND THAT IS A TRUE TRAGEDY.
00:18:13.25\00:18:15.52
REALLY IT IS.
00:18:15.56\00:18:16.79
THAT'S A VERY BIG TRAGEDY.
00:18:16.83\00:18:18.26
SO IT'S BASICALLY A
MATTER OF FINANCES AT THIS TIME.
00:18:18.29\00:18:22.16
WE HAVE NOT BEEN
ABLE T FOLLOW UP.
00:18:22.20\00:18:25.23
WE HAVE FOUND THAT
ONCE THERE IS FUNDING TO GET
00:18:25.27\00:18:28.54
THEM GOING, THROUGH
LOCAL TITHES AND OFFERINGS THEY
00:18:28.57\00:18:31.14
CAN THEN SELF SUSTAIN
WITHIN ABOUT THREE AND A
00:18:31.17\00:18:33.21
HALF TO FOUR YEARS.
00:18:33.24\00:18:35.31
THAT'S GOOD.
00:18:35.34\00:18:36.58
SO REALLY YOU'RE SAYING
YOU NEED 350 MORE WORKERS
00:18:36.61\00:18:40.08
OVERALL FOR ALL THE
WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING
00:18:40.12\00:18:42.32
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
00:18:42.35\00:18:43.08
YES.
00:18:43.12\00:18:44.09
SO WE JUST NEED 350
PEOPLE WHO COULD GIVE $1500,
00:18:44.12\00:18:47.92
COUPLE OF THOUSAND A YEAR
AND IT WOULD BE TAKEN CARE
00:18:47.96\00:18:51.96
OF.
00:18:51.99\00:18:52.66
IT WOULD.
00:18:52.69\00:18:53.63
IT WOULD AND IT WOULD
GIVE REALLY SIGNIFICANT
00:18:53.66\00:18:55.63
RESULTS.
00:18:55.66\00:18:56.63
WE THINK THAT WE WOULD
JUST SEE A MASSIVE, RIGHT
00:18:56.67\00:19:00.77
NOW WITHIN OUR NETWORK
THERE IS SOMEWHERE AROUND
00:19:00.80\00:19:04.67
SEVENTY THOUSAND
WORSHIPPING GROUPS.
00:19:04.71\00:19:07.64
NOW THESE AREN'T BIG GROUPS.
00:19:07.68\00:19:08.98
THESE ARE SOMEWHERE
EIGHT TO TWELVE PEOPLE IN A
00:19:09.01\00:19:11.48
GROUP AND MAYBE
AROUND EIGHTEEN TO TWENTY
00:19:11.51\00:19:15.52
THOUSAND OF THESE ARE
LIKE ORGANIZED, UNDERSTAND ALL
00:19:15.55\00:19:20.06
OF ADVENTIST
BELIEF, THE CORE GROUPS.
00:19:20.09\00:19:22.32
OTHERS ARE IN A PROCESS.
00:19:22.36\00:19:24.99
SO THEY HAVE ACCEPTED
THE SABBATH OR THEY HAVE
00:19:25.03\00:19:26.86
ACCEPTED JESUS OR
SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
00:19:26.90\00:19:30.20
SO THEY ARE IN A
PROCESS BUT THEY ARE MOVING
00:19:30.23\00:19:34.37
TOWARDS CORE ADVENTIST BELIEFS.
00:19:34.40\00:19:36.50
YES.
00:19:36.54\00:19:37.77
SO WE THINK THAT IF WE
WERE TO HAVE ANOTHER, WE
00:19:37.81\00:19:41.01
RIGHT NOW HAVE AROUND 360
WORKERS AT THE PRESENT AND
00:19:41.04\00:19:45.51
WE NEED TO ABOUT DOUBLE THAT.
00:19:45.55\00:19:47.68
WE HAVE THE CAPACITY
AND INFRASTRUCTURE TO DEAL
00:19:47.72\00:19:50.25
WITH THAT, BUT WE WOULD
SEE A SIGNIFICANT GROWTH
00:19:50.29\00:19:54.39
IN THE MOVEMENT IF WE
WERE ABLE TO HAVE THAT FUNDING.
00:19:54.42\00:19:56.99
THAT BRINGS ME TO A
QUESTING I'M HAVING AS I'M
00:19:57.03\00:19:59.86
THINKING ABOUT
SUPPORTING YOU MYSELF.
00:19:59.89\00:20:01.43
SO HOW DOES YOUR
INFRASTRUCTURE WORK?
00:20:01.46\00:20:06.33
YOU KNOW THIS SEEMS
CHALLENGING IN PLACES
00:20:06.37\00:20:08.74
WHERE YOU CAN'T EVEN TALK
ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHERE YOU
00:20:08.77\00:20:10.87
ARE.
00:20:10.91\00:20:11.54
WELL, IT'S QUITE INTERESTING.
00:20:11.57\00:20:13.51
WE USE WHAT WE CALL AN
ORGANIZED NON-HIERARCHICAL
00:20:13.54\00:20:17.05
SYSTEM.
00:20:17.08\00:20:18.71
AND SO WE HAVE THE
POWER OF INFLUENCE OVER OUR
00:20:18.75\00:20:21.58
MINISTRY SO I CAN'T GO
AND TELL A REGIONAL DIRECTOR
00:20:21.62\00:20:24.25
JUMP AND GO DO THIS
LIKE LET'S SAY A CONFERENCE
00:20:24.29\00:20:27.19
PRESIDENT MIGHT TELL
HIS PASTOR BECAUSE WE WORK
00:20:27.22\00:20:30.19
WITH PEOPLE OF SIGNIFICANCE AND
00:20:30.23\00:20:32.36
INFLUENCE.
00:20:32.39\00:20:33.19
IN SOME COUNTRIES
IT'S TRIBAL LEADERS.
00:20:33.23\00:20:36.03
IN SOME PLACES IT'S
RELIGIOUS LEADERS AND WE
00:20:36.06\00:20:39.13
SUPPLEMENT THEIR INCOME.
00:20:39.17\00:20:41.04
MOST OF OUR WORKERS
HAVE OTHER SOURCES OF INCOME
00:20:41.07\00:20:43.81
BUT THIS HELPS COMPENSATE
THEM OR WE WILL MOVE A NEW
00:20:43.84\00:20:46.98
WORKER TO A NEW AREA TO GO HELP.
00:20:47.01\00:20:50.61
LIKE ONE OF THESE HOUSE
CHURCH MOVEMENTS THAT ARE
00:20:50.65\00:20:52.51
SAYING COME WORK WITH US.
00:20:52.55\00:20:53.58
SO WE WILL SEND SOMEONE
TO WORK WITH THEM WHO WILL BE
00:20:53.62\00:20:56.22
A TRAINER AND FIND THE
BEST PEOPLE AMONG THEM WHO
00:20:56.25\00:20:59.32
WILL THEN CONTINUE
TO LEAD THEIR MOVEMENTS.
00:20:59.35\00:21:02.16
SO WE, FOR EXAMPLE
DONATIONS WE SEND, WE HAVE
00:21:02.19\00:21:06.29
FOUND WAYS TO SEND
TO DIFFERENT COUNTRIES
00:21:06.33\00:21:10.27
REGISTRATIONS SENT TO
THE NAME OF THE LOCAL LEADER
00:21:10.30\00:21:12.80
THEN THEY SEND FUNDING OUT.
00:21:12.83\00:21:15.20
AND WITH TODAY'S BANKING
WITH A FEW PRESSES OF THE
00:21:15.24\00:21:19.01
BUTTON YOU DON'T HAVE TO
HAVE HEAVY INFRASTRUCTURE.
00:21:19.04\00:21:22.18
IN MOST OF OUR COUNTRIES
OUR ORGANIZATION SENDS TO
00:21:22.21\00:21:24.48
A LOCAL ORGANIZATION
AND THEN WITH A FEW HITS OF
00:21:24.51\00:21:25.81
THE BUTTON THE
SALARIES ARE PAID MONTHLY
00:21:25.85\00:21:27.15
AUTOMATICALLY.
00:21:27.18\00:21:27.88
SO IT'S PRETTY EASY STREAMLINED.
00:21:27.92\00:21:29.15
IT'S ON QUICKBOOKS AND
WITH VOLUNTEERS AND STUFF
00:21:29.18\00:21:30.49
WE BASICALLY OPERATE.
00:21:30.52\00:21:31.55
WE HAVE FOUND WITH TODAY'S
TECHNOLOGY, IT WOULD HAVE
00:21:31.59\00:21:32.32
BEEN IMPOSSIBLE
TWENTY YEARS AGO.
00:21:32.35\00:21:33.86
YES.
00:21:33.89\00:21:34.76
BUT WITH TODAY'S
TECHNOLOGY YOU CAN OPERATE
00:21:34.79\00:21:35.86
A PRETTY LARGE
ORGANIZATION WITHOUT A LOT
00:21:35.89\00:21:37.19
OF HEAVY SYSTEMS AND
WITHOUT A LOT OF PEOPLE.
00:21:37.23\00:21:42.26
YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE
WHO HAS FIGURED THAT OUT
00:21:58.81\00:22:00.55
IN THE WORLD.
00:22:00.58\00:22:01.52
ACTUALLY I'M THINKING
ABOUT SOME NOT SO SAVORY
00:22:01.55\00:22:05.15
ORGANIZATIONS THAT
RUN THIS WAY TOO PROBABLY.
00:22:05.19\00:22:07.26
LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT THEN HOW OFTEN YOU
00:22:09.22\00:22:11.99
GET TO GO AND SEE THE
WORK THAT'S HAPPENING AND VISIT
00:22:12.03\00:22:16.50
THE PLACES.
00:22:16.53\00:22:17.57
SO WE VISIT SOME PLACES
WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL, BUT WE
00:22:17.60\00:22:21.00
HAVE WHAT WE CALL,
AND THIS MIGHT HELP ANSWER
00:22:21.04\00:22:23.54
PART OF THE QUESTION.
00:22:23.57\00:22:24.34
WE RUN A TRAINING
OF TRAINER SYSTEM.
00:22:24.37\00:22:27.44
SO ALL THE WAY DOWN WE
TRY TO HAVE THAT EVERY HOUSE
00:22:27.48\00:22:29.94
CHURCH LEADER IS AT
LEAST EVERY TWO WEEKS, IN THE
00:22:29.98\00:22:33.62
BEGINNING UNTIL HE IS
WELL GROUNDED, AS A PART OF A
00:22:33.65\00:22:37.52
TRAINING SYSTEM.
00:22:37.55\00:22:38.52
EVERY HOUSE CHURCH
LEADER HE IS TRYING TO PLANT
00:22:38.55\00:22:41.42
ANOTHER SIX HOUSE
CHURCHES AND SO FORTH.
00:22:41.46\00:22:43.59
SO WE TRY TO SEE THAT WE
PLANT SIX ACROSS FOUR DEEP
00:22:43.63\00:22:48.36
AND EVERYONE KEEPS IN TOUCH.
00:22:48.40\00:22:50.37
SO I TRY TO CALL ALL
THE WORKERS I WORK WITH ON
00:22:50.40\00:22:54.24
FRIDAYS FOR EXAMPLE.
00:22:54.27\00:22:55.30
AT LEAST TWICE A MONTH
IF NOT MORE I TRY TO KEEP IN
00:22:55.34\00:22:59.77
CONTACT WITH THE PEOPLE I WORK.
00:22:59.81\00:23:02.58
THEY IN TURN TRY TO
KEEP IN CONTACT AND THEY HAVE
00:23:02.61\00:23:05.15
LOCAL MEETINGS.
00:23:05.18\00:23:06.11
WE TRY TO HAVE EVERY
YEAR TO EIGHTEEN MONTHS A
00:23:06.15\00:23:10.35
WORLD-WIDE MEETING
WITH OUR MAIN LEADERS.
00:23:10.39\00:23:13.32
SO THEN THEY HAVE-AND
YOU HAVE OTHER MAIN LEADERS
00:23:13.36\00:23:15.69
THAT WORK WITH YOU?
00:23:15.72\00:23:16.49
YES.
00:23:16.52\00:23:17.56
AND SO WE'RE LIKE IN SOME
PLACES SIX TO EIGHT LEVELS
00:23:17.59\00:23:22.43
DEEP.
00:23:22.46\00:23:23.33
AND SO WE BRING THE
REGIONAL DIRECTORS OR
00:23:23.37\00:23:26.47
COUNTRY LEADERS
THAT WE WORK WITH.
00:23:26.50\00:23:28.87
THEY ON A QUARTERLY BASIS
MEET WITH THE PEOPLE UNDER
00:23:28.90\00:23:32.01
THEM.
00:23:32.04\00:23:32.74
THOSE USUALLY MEET ON A MONTHLY.
00:23:32.77\00:23:34.71
BY THE TIME YOU GET TO
A HOUSE CHURCH LEADER THEY
00:23:34.74\00:23:36.71
ARE TRYING TO MEET
EVERY WEEK TO TWO WEEKS.
00:23:36.75\00:23:38.65
YES.
00:23:38.68\00:23:39.85
VERY GOOD.
00:23:39.88\00:23:40.75
IT'S A GOOD SYSTEM.
00:23:40.78\00:23:42.42
AND TELL ME ABOUT THE
PARTNERSHIP WITH GOSPEL
00:23:42.45\00:23:44.85
OUTREACH AND WE HAVE A
COUPLE MINUTES LEFT FOR
00:23:44.89\00:23:46.65
THAT.
00:23:46.69\00:23:47.66
YES, WELL WE HAVE HAD,
I USED TO DO THIS WORK, I
00:23:47.69\00:23:50.36
USED TO WORK FOR THE
GENERAL CONFERENCE AND I
00:23:50.39\00:23:52.26
WAS THE COORDINATOR FOR
UNDERGROUND HOUSE CHURCHES
00:23:52.29\00:23:54.66
AMONG MUSLIMS.
00:23:54.73\00:23:56.40
THAT KIND OF GREW BEYOND
BEING A SMALL EXPERIMENT.
00:23:56.43\00:23:59.00
THERE WERE SOME
SECURITY ISSUES AS WELL AS SOME
00:23:59.03\00:24:01.94
OTHER THINGS BUT IT WAS
MUCH SAFER IN THE END TO
00:24:01.97\00:24:05.07
RUN THIS AS A
SUPPORTING MINISTRY.
00:24:05.11\00:24:06.81
AT THAT TIME WE HAD
PARTNERED ALREADY WITH
00:24:06.84\00:24:10.88
GOSPEL OUTREACH AND
WE HAVE CONTINUED THAT
00:24:10.91\00:24:14.45
PARTNERSHIP EVER SINCE
THEN AND IN AN EXPANDING
00:24:14.48\00:24:17.32
WAY AS WE HAVE GONE
INTO OTHER PEOPLE GROUPS.
00:24:17.35\00:24:20.12
SO WE HAVE ACTUALLY WORKED
WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH SINCE
00:24:20.16\00:24:24.79
2001 I BELIEVE, 2002.
00:24:24.83\00:24:28.70
SINCE JANUARY 2002 WE
HAVE WORKED WITH, IT'S A
00:24:28.73\00:24:32.77
LONG-TERM CONNECTION,
WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH FIRST IN
00:24:32.80\00:24:35.14
ONE COUNTRY IN THE
MIDDLE EAST NORTH AFRICA REGION
00:24:35.17\00:24:37.87
AND THERE IT HAS JUST
GROWN AND GROWN UNTIL WE
00:24:37.91\00:24:41.08
NOW WORK IN MANY MANY
COUNTRIES TOGETHER IN A
00:24:41.11\00:24:44.15
PARTNERSHIP.
00:24:44.18\00:24:45.18
ANY LAST STORY YOU WANT
TO SHARE WITH US BEFORE WE
00:24:45.21\00:24:49.88
HAVE TO CLOSE OUT THIS EPISODE?
00:24:49.92\00:24:52.65
WELL, WE'VE JUST SEEN
THAT GOD IS EAGER TO FINISH HIS
00:24:52.69\00:24:57.93
WORK TIME AND TIME AGAIN.
00:24:57.96\00:25:00.16
AND HE WILL GIVE
DREAMS, HE WILL GIVE VISIONS TO
00:25:00.20\00:25:03.40
PEOPLE TO PREPARE THEM.
00:25:03.43\00:25:05.07
AND WE REALLY SEE
ALMOST A PENTECOST LEVEL OF GOD
00:25:05.10\00:25:09.77
OUTPOURING HIS SPIRIT
ON OUR FRONTLINE WORKERS.
00:25:09.80\00:25:13.01
THEY WILL PRAY AND
THEY WILL SEE PEOPLE HEALED.
00:25:13.04\00:25:16.18
THEY WILL, FOR EXAMPLE
ONE YOUNG MAN THAT I MET NOT
00:25:16.21\00:25:20.05
TO LONG AGO, I ASKED HIM
WHAT HAS GOD DONE IN YOUR
00:25:20.08\00:25:24.49
LIFE.
00:25:24.52\00:25:25.49
HE SAID WELL LET ME
TELL WHAT GOD IS DOING IN THE
00:25:25.52\00:25:26.52
LIVES OF OTHERS AS WELL AS MINE.
00:25:26.55\00:25:27.89
HE HAS TRANSFORMED MY
LIFE BUT I WENT TO PRAY WITH MY
00:25:27.92\00:25:32.99
FAMILY AND SOMEONE WAS
SICK WITH CANCER AND GOING
00:25:33.03\00:25:35.83
TO DIE, MY FATHER.
00:25:35.86\00:25:38.60
I PRAYED FOR HIM AND
WHILE HE DIDN'T DIE HIS PAIN WAS
00:25:38.63\00:25:44.17
TAKEN AWAY.
00:25:44.21\00:25:45.37
I MEAN WHILE HE STILL
DIED HIS PAIN WAS RELIEVED
00:25:45.41\00:25:48.11
BECAUSE HE WAS
IN GREAT SUFFERING.
00:25:48.14\00:25:49.81
AND SO BEFORE HE DIED
HE GAVE HIS HEART TO JESUS.
00:25:49.84\00:25:53.28
AND SO WE JUST SEE MIRACLE
STORY AFTER MIRACLE STORY
00:25:53.31\00:25:56.35
HAPPEN OF HOW GOD
COMES IN A VERY LITERAL WAY.
00:25:56.38\00:25:59.65
WE'VE SEEN MANY MANY
DREAMS OF PEOPLE HAVING OF
00:25:59.69\00:26:02.92
COMING AND SEARCHING AND
I'LL TELL JUST ONE STORY.
00:26:02.96\00:26:05.26
ONE OF OUR WORKERS, LIKE
OUR REGIONAL DIRECTOR OVER
00:26:05.29\00:26:09.00
ABOUT HALF A DOZEN
COUNTRIES IN WEST AFRICA,
00:26:09.03\00:26:12.10
HE WAS TRAVELING,
STOPPED AT A LITTLE RESTAURANT
00:26:12.13\00:26:14.94
THAT HAD TABLES OUTSIDE.
00:26:14.97\00:26:16.54
IT WAS LIKE THREE OR
FOUR IN THE AFTERNOON.
00:26:16.57\00:26:19.04
HE HAD BEEN TRAVELING
ALL DAY AND GETTING SOMETHING
00:26:19.07\00:26:21.61
TO EAT AND HERE COMES
THIS OLD MAN WALKING DOWN THE
00:26:21.64\00:26:24.41
ROAD LOOKING AT HIM
AND HE IS STARING AT HIM.
00:26:24.45\00:26:26.58
THEN THE MAN COMES
AND LOOKS AT HIM AND SAYS,
00:26:26.61\00:26:30.75
YOU'RE THE MAN I'M LOOKING FOR.
00:26:30.79\00:26:32.35
AND HE SAYS WHAT?
00:26:32.39\00:26:34.12
YOU'RE THE MAN I'M LOOKING FOR.
00:26:34.16\00:26:35.72
I'VE BEEN
WAITING FOR YOU ALL WEEK.
00:26:35.76\00:26:37.36
I WAS SHOWN IN A DREAM
YOU WOULD ARRIVE AND THAT'S
00:26:37.39\00:26:39.43
WHY I CAME LOOKING FOR YOU.
00:26:39.46\00:26:41.06
YOU'RE STOPPING HERE AND
YOU'RE COMING TO MY HOUSE.
00:26:41.10\00:26:43.83
INCREDIBLE.
00:26:43.87\00:26:44.87
AND SO HE SAYS WELL WHAT
HAPPENED AND THE MAN JUST
00:26:44.90\00:26:47.47
SAYS NO, YOU'RE COMING.
00:26:47.50\00:26:49.20
GOD HAS SHOWN ME A DREAM
AND TO WAIT FOR YOU UNTIL
00:26:49.24\00:26:51.77
YOU ARRIVED.
00:26:51.81\00:26:52.77
SO HE WENT TO HIS HOUSE
AND TRAINED HIM AND THIS
00:26:52.81\00:26:55.51
MAN IS NOW PLANTING
HOUSE CHURCHES IN HIS AREA.
00:26:55.54\00:26:57.35
FANTASTIC.
00:26:57.38\00:26:57.91
THANK YOU SO MUCH MARTY.
00:26:57.95\00:26:58.91
REMEMBER TO SUPPORT THE
WORK THAT MARTY IS DOING
00:26:58.95\00:27:00.08
THROUGH GOSPEL OUTREACH NPRAXIS.
00:27:00.12\00:27:01.42
EXCUSE ME, GOT A
LITTLE COUGH THAT'S CATCHING
00:27:01.45\00:27:02.75
HERE.
00:27:02.78\00:27:03.75
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
TUNING IN TO ADVENTURES IN
00:27:03.79\00:27:04.79
MISSIONS.
00:27:04.82\00:27:05.45
SEE YOU NEXT TIME.
00:27:05.49\00:27:06.12
[CLOSING MUSIC]
00:27:06.15\00:27:06.89
