WELCOME TO
ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS.
00:00:34.63\00:00:36.33
I'M LYNELLE ELLIS AND
WITH ME TODAY IS MARTY PHILLIPS
00:00:36.36\00:00:40.77
WHO IS HERE ACTUALLY
TO TELL US MORE ABOUT THE
00:00:40.80\00:00:44.61
WORK THAT HE IS DOING
IN AREAS OF THE WORLD WHERE
00:00:44.64\00:00:47.34
PEOPLE GROUPS HAVE
BEEN KIND OF CHALLENGING TO
00:00:47.38\00:00:50.05
REACH FOR CHRISTIANITY.
00:00:50.08\00:00:51.58
AND IN THIS PARTICULAR
EPISODE HE IS GOING TO
00:00:51.61\00:00:53.72
SHARE WITH US THE WORK
THAT IS GOING ON WITH HIS
00:00:53.75\00:00:56.35
ORGANIZATION NPRAXIS
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH GOSPEL
00:00:56.38\00:00:59.72
OUTREACH RELATED TO HINDUS.
00:00:59.75\00:01:01.36
YES, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
00:01:01.39\00:01:02.36
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
SINCE AROUND 2009 OR 2010
00:01:02.39\00:01:03.32
HAD BEEN REALLY ON MY
HEART THAT WE START WORK
00:01:03.36\00:01:04.73
AMONG HINDUS BECAUSE
THE LEADER THAT WE HAVE IN
00:01:04.76\00:01:06.06
THAT REGION IN
INDIA WORKING WITH MUSLIMS
00:01:06.09\00:01:07.40
ACTUALLY COMES
FROM A HINDU BACKGROUND.
00:01:07.40\00:01:08.70
AND AS I SHARED BEFORE
I ALWAYS LIKE TO KNOW WHO
00:01:08.73\00:01:10.03
THEY ARE, WHERE THEY CAME FROM.
00:01:10.07\00:01:11.03
AND ONE OF THE THINGS
SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHERE
00:01:11.07\00:01:12.47
THESE QUESTIONS COME
FROM, I USED TO LIVE IN LOMA
00:01:12.50\00:01:17.54
LINDA.
00:01:31.59\00:01:32.35
AND I HAD THIS
REALLY POWERFUL CALL.
00:01:32.39\00:01:34.39
I WANT YOU MARTY TO GO
WORK IN THE HEART OF THE
00:01:34.42\00:01:37.06
MIDDLE EAST.
00:01:37.09\00:01:38.33
AND I SAID LORD
I'M WILLING TO DO THIS.
00:01:38.36\00:01:41.00
I'VE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN
WHAT I'VE DONE PREVIOUS IN
00:01:41.03\00:01:43.60
MY PAST LIFE AND I
DON'T WANT TO GO AND BE A
00:01:43.63\00:01:47.27
FAILURE.
00:01:47.30\00:01:48.17
I DON'T WANT TO GO
FOR FIVE OR SIX PEOPLE.
00:01:48.20\00:01:50.84
I KNEW SEVERAL
ADVENTIST MISSIONARIES.
00:01:50.87\00:01:53.44
I KNEW QUITE A FEW
EVANGELICAL PROTESTANT
00:01:53.48\00:01:55.68
MISSIONARIES WHO HAD
BEEN WORKING AND THEY WOULD GO
00:01:55.71\00:01:59.41
WORK TEN, FIFTEEN,
TWENTY YEARS AND COME BACK WITH
00:01:59.45\00:02:03.05
ONE OR TWO HOUSE CHURCHES .
00:02:03.08\00:02:04.32
AFTER THEY HAD LEFT
SOMETIMES EVEN THOSE HAVE
00:02:04.35\00:02:06.79
COLLAPSED.
00:02:06.82\00:02:07.72
AND I SAID LORD I'M
NOT WILLING TO DO THAT.
00:02:07.76\00:02:09.79
SO ONE NIGHT I WENT
BEHIND THE LOMA LINDA LITTLE
00:02:09.82\00:02:13.46
HILLS BACK THERE AND
PRAYER AND IN THE MIDDLE
00:02:13.50\00:02:16.16
OF THE NIGHT I HEARD
GOD SAYING YOU NEED TO FIND
00:02:16.20\00:02:18.47
PEOPLE OF FAITH.
00:02:18.50\00:02:20.04
YOU NEED TO FIND
PEOPLE WHO LOVE THEIR LAND AND
00:02:20.07\00:02:22.00
PEOPLE.
00:02:22.04\00:02:23.04
PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY
OF INFLUENCE AND PEOPLE WHO
00:02:23.07\00:02:26.11
I'VE ALREADY BEEN WORKING WITH.
00:02:26.14\00:02:28.71
AND SO THEN I STARTED
THE SEARCH FINDING PEOPLE WHO
00:02:28.74\00:02:32.25
LOVE THEIR LAND, WHO
LOVE THEIR PEOPLE, PEOPLE OF
00:02:32.28\00:02:35.52
INFLUENCE.
00:02:35.55\00:02:36.55
AND IN THE EAST, IN THE
WEST PEOPLE ARE INFLUENCED
00:02:36.58\00:02:39.32
BECAUSE YOU'RE A
TV CELEBRITY OR SPORTS
00:02:39.35\00:02:42.16
CELEBRITY OR BUSINESS PERSON.
00:02:42.19\00:02:44.53
IN THE EASTERN CULTURE
WHETHER IT'S HINDU, MUSLIM
00:02:44.56\00:02:47.23
OR BUDDHIST, WHATEVER HAS
TO DO WITH WHO YOUR FAMILY
00:02:47.23\00:02:50.37
IS IN MANY CASES.
00:02:50.40\00:02:51.93
AND FAMILIES GENERATE
HONOR OVER GENERATIONS.
00:02:51.97\00:02:57.11
IT TAKES MANY MANY
GENERATIONS TO DEVELOP
00:02:57.14\00:02:59.77
THAT INFLUENCE IN
MOST CASES IN THE EAST.
00:02:59.81\00:03:02.11
SO I WAS ALWAYS
LOOKING WHO WERE PEOPLE OF
00:03:02.14\00:03:04.01
INFLUENCE.
00:03:04.05\00:03:05.35
A LOT OF OUR MINISTRIES
ARE BASED AROUND THESE
00:03:05.38\00:03:07.65
TYPE OF PEOPLE.
00:03:07.68\00:03:09.02
SO SPEAKING WITH THIS
MAN I ASKED HIM TELL ME ABOUT
00:03:09.05\00:03:11.32
WHO YOU ARE.
00:03:11.35\00:03:12.32
WELL MY GRANDFATHER WAS
THIS AND THAT AND I KEPT
00:03:12.35\00:03:14.46
PUSHING HIM.
00:03:14.49\00:03:15.76
WELL MY GRANDFATHER
WAS ACTUALLY BEFORE THE
00:03:15.79\00:03:18.13
BRITISH KIND OF DESTROYED
THINGS AND THEN, AND THEN
00:03:18.16\00:03:22.63
WE BECAME THE
REPUBLIC OF INDIA, NEW INDIA.
00:03:22.66\00:03:26.03
MY GRANDFATHER WAS
EQUIVALENT TO LIKE AN
00:03:26.07\00:03:28.40
EARL.
00:03:28.44\00:03:29.44
AND HE WAS ACTUALLY, HE
WAS IN LINE EVEN TO BECOME
00:03:29.47\00:03:32.34
A REGIONAL LIKE
MONARCH AND VERY INFLUENTIAL.
00:03:32.37\00:03:36.81
HE OVER SAW A VERY
LARGE TERRITORY AND IN FACT HE
00:03:36.85\00:03:41.45
SHARED HOW HE STILL HAD
THE DOCUMENT HOW HIS GREAT
00:03:41.48\00:03:44.32
GREAT GREAT
GRANDFATHER HAD SOLD THE LAND TO
00:03:44.35\00:03:47.56
WILLIAM CAREY IN INDIA.
00:03:47.59\00:03:49.36
HE ACTUALLY DONATED THE
LAND AND HE STILL HAD THE
00:03:49.39\00:03:52.36
DOCUMENT, HIS SIDE OF
THE DOCUMENT, DONATING THE
00:03:52.39\00:03:55.90
LAND TO WILLIAM CAREY.
00:03:55.93\00:03:56.77
SO I IMMEDIATELY
UNDERSTOOD GOD HAD BEEN
00:03:56.80\00:04:00.24
CALLING HIM NOT JUST TO
WORK WITH MUSLIMS BUT BY
00:04:00.27\00:04:04.51
WORKING WITH MUSLIMS IT
HAD PREPARED HIM TO WORK
00:04:04.54\00:04:07.34
ALSO FOR HIS OWN PEOPLE.
00:04:07.38\00:04:09.51
AND SO I SAID YOU
REALLY NEED BROTHER TO GO BACK
00:04:09.54\00:04:14.08
NOW AND WE NEED TO START
PREPARING TO WORK FOR YOUR
00:04:14.12\00:04:16.25
PEOPLE.
00:04:16.28\00:04:17.25
YOU SHOULD REALLY
START PRAYING THAT THE THINGS
00:04:17.29\00:04:18.75
THAT YOU HAVE
LEARNED WORKING WITH THE
00:04:18.79\00:04:21.42
UNDERGROUND HOUSE
CHURCH WITH MUSLIMS AND FINDING
00:04:21.46\00:04:24.73
THOSE BRIDGES TO GOD
THAT WE'VE FOUND IN ISLAM YOU
00:04:24.76\00:04:27.50
NEED TO FIND
THOSE ALSO IN HINDUISM.
00:04:27.50\00:04:29.56
S WHO HAD BECOME A
00:04:29.60\00:04:30.97
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
AND HE HAD BEEN A SANSKRIT
00:04:31.00\00:04:37.57
SPECIALIST.
00:04:37.61\00:04:38.61
HE HAD LIKE A DOCTORATE
IN ANCIENT SANSKRIT AND IN
00:04:38.64\00:04:42.38
THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS.
00:04:42.41\00:04:45.15
AND SO WE ENCOURAGED THAT
MAN THAT YOU NEED TO BUILD
00:04:45.18\00:04:48.85
LIKE A GREAT CONTROVERSY
STORY OF THE HINDU PEOPLE
00:04:48.88\00:04:53.72
SO THAT WE CAN SEE WHERE
GOD AND SATAN HAS WORKED.
00:04:53.76\00:04:57.66
SO HE FIRST WAS A BIT
RELUCTANT THAN HE JUMPED
00:04:57.69\00:05:00.40
INTO IT WHOLE HEARTEDLY.
00:05:00.43\00:05:02.03
AND SO HE THEN UNCOVERED
THE MOST INCREDIBLE STORY
00:05:02.06\00:05:05.23
OF HOW ORIGINALLY
THE HINDUS HAD BEEN
00:05:05.27\00:05:07.67
MONOTHEISTIC.
00:05:07.70\00:05:08.57
THEY HAD WORSHIPED
VERY SIMILARLY TO JEWS.
00:05:08.60\00:05:12.54
THEY HAD A SACRIFICIAL
SYSTEM WITH THE PASSING OF
00:05:12.57\00:05:15.68
TIME.
00:05:15.71\00:05:16.68
AND HE WENT FINDING
THESE DATES OF WHEN THEY IN
00:05:16.71\00:05:18.81
THEIR FIRST TEMPLE, THAT
HAD BEEN TO THE WORSHIP TO
00:05:18.85\00:05:20.88
THE ONE TRUE CREATOR
GOD IN HEAVEN, HOW THEN THE
00:05:20.92\00:05:23.59
ALTER, THEY STARTED
CALLING THE ALTER A GOD.
00:05:23.62\00:05:26.99
AND THEN THEY PUT AN
IDOL ON TOP OF THE ALTER.
00:05:27.02\00:05:29.39
AND NOW THEY HAD TWO GODS.
00:05:29.42\00:05:31.43
AND THE WORD IN THEIR
MOST ANCIENT SCRIPTURE CALLED
00:05:31.46\00:05:34.93
THE RIG VEDA THAT USES
DIFFERENT NAMES FOR GOD,
00:05:34.93\00:05:38.97
IT'S ACTUALLY JUST LIKE
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT WHERE
00:05:39.00\00:05:41.34
THERE ARE DIFFERENT
NAMES DESCRIBING DIFFERENT
00:05:41.37\00:05:43.44
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE
ONE TRUE CREATOR GOD OF THE
00:05:43.47\00:05:45.91
UNIVERSE.
00:05:45.94\00:05:46.88
AND SO THEN IT HIT HIM
LIKE A TON OF BRICKS, WE
00:05:46.91\00:05:49.74
WERE CALLED LIKE THE
LEVITES, THE BRAHMINS TO
00:05:49.78\00:05:53.05
BE PRIESTS TO THE ONE
TRUE GOD AND WE HAVE TAKEN OUR
00:05:53.08\00:05:56.95
NATION INTO PAGANISM.
00:05:56.99\00:05:59.95
AND SO THEN AS HE COMPILED
THIS STORY AND THE DATES
00:06:00.06\00:06:03.43
OF HOW HE DID THIS HE
BUILT VERY MUCH A GREAT
00:06:03.46\00:06:06.13
CONTROVERSY STORY
MUCH LIKE WE HAVE THE GREAT
00:06:06.16\00:06:09.60
CONTROVERSY BY ELLEN WHITE.
00:06:09.63\00:06:11.83
HE PREPARED SOMETHING IN
AN ORAL FORM THAT COULD BE
00:06:11.87\00:06:14.50
PASSED PERSON TO PERSON.
00:06:14.54\00:06:16.97
SO ONCE THAT WAS PREPARED
THEN THIS LEADER HE CALLED
00:06:17.01\00:06:20.01
HIS COUSINS BASICALLY AND
FRIENDS AND OLD ASSOCIATES
00:06:20.04\00:06:25.28
AND HE SAID BROTHERS, I
HAVE A CONFESSION TO MAKE.
00:06:25.31\00:06:29.62
I THOUGHT THAT BEING A
FOLLOWER OF CHRIST I HAD
00:06:29.65\00:06:31.82
TO BECOME A PART OF THE
WESTERN CULTURE AND DRESS
00:06:31.85\00:06:34.92
LIKE THEM AND TALK LIKE
THEM AND TEACH LIKE THEM.
00:06:34.96\00:06:38.76
AND I WANT TO ASK YOUR
APOLOGY BUT I DO WANT TO
00:06:38.79\00:06:43.33
COME BACK WITH YOU THAT I
AM A FOLLOWER OF JESUS BUT
00:06:43.37\00:06:47.77
I CAN BE STILL AN
INDIAN MAN AND BE A FOLLOWER OF
00:06:47.80\00:06:51.01
JESUS.
00:06:51.04\00:06:52.54
THEY WERE ALL EXCITED AND HAPPY.
00:06:52.57\00:06:54.04
BUT HE SAID I
WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU.
00:06:54.08\00:06:55.98
YOU REMEMBER HOW I USED TO BE.
00:06:56.01\00:06:58.21
I USED TO DRINK.
00:06:58.25\00:06:59.35
I HAD A DISSIPATED LIFE.
00:06:59.38\00:07:02.65
HE HAD COME FROM A
VERY WEALTHY FAMILY AND HE
00:07:02.68\00:07:05.39
TELLS ME YOU KNOW HE
WOULD GET DRUNK AND WRECK HIS
00:07:05.42\00:07:08.26
BEEMER AND GO BUY A
BRAND NEW BMW ON MONDAY.
00:07:08.29\00:07:12.33
HE CAME FROM SIGNIFICANT WEALTH.
00:07:12.36\00:07:15.33
EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE
NO LONGER EARLS THEY HAD
00:07:15.36\00:07:17.20
INHERITED AND REINVESTED
IN MANY MANY BUSINESSES.
00:07:17.23\00:07:20.70
IN FACT HE HAD LED ONE
OF THE FAMILY CONSORTIUMS AS
00:07:20.74\00:07:24.87
HE WAS BEING TRAINED
AND GOING UP THE LADDER TO
00:07:24.91\00:07:27.51
EVENTUALLY INHERIT THE
WHOLE FAMILY COMMERCIAL
00:07:27.54\00:07:32.78
EMPIRE.
00:07:32.81\00:07:34.68
AND SO HE HAD BECOME A
FOLLOWER OF JESUS AND LONG
00:07:34.72\00:07:37.42
STORY HE HAD BECOME
A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
00:07:37.45\00:07:39.25
MINISTER AND LOST ALL THAT.
00:07:39.29\00:07:40.66
BUT HE HAD COME BACK AND
APOLOGIZED TO HIS FAMILY.
00:07:40.69\00:07:42.92
THE FAMILY WERE ALL
VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS,
00:07:42.96\00:07:46.96
RE-EMBRACED HIM BACK.
00:07:47.00\00:07:48.16
HE DIDN'T TAKE BACK ALL
HIS INHERITANCE AND STUFF
00:07:48.20\00:07:51.57
BECAUSE HIS FAMILY
BUSINESS WAS DEDICATED TO
00:07:51.60\00:07:54.74
AN IDOL AND HE DIDN'T
FEEL HE COULD RUN IT BECAUSE IT
00:07:54.77\00:07:57.74
WAS IN A FOUNDATION
DEDICATED TO IDOLATRY.
00:07:57.77\00:08:01.44
BUT THEY WERE VERY
EXCITED ABOUT THIS.
00:08:01.48\00:08:04.35
HIS COUSINS THEN,
HE SHARES HIS PERSONAL
00:08:04.38\00:08:07.72
TESTIMONY OF HOW JESUS
TRANSFORMS HIS LIFE AND
00:08:07.75\00:08:10.42
NOW HIS COUSINS, HE
SHARED WITH THEM AND THEN HE
00:08:10.45\00:08:15.96
ASKED THEM THIS QUESTION,
HAVE YOU LIKED WHAT I'VE
00:08:15.99\00:08:17.99
SHARED?
00:08:18.03\00:08:18.93
HAVE YOU SEEN THE
TRANSFORMATION THAT CHRIST
00:08:18.96\00:08:20.86
DID IN MY LIFE?
00:08:20.90\00:08:21.56
AND THEY SAID YES.
00:08:21.60\00:08:23.16
IS THIS
SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE?
00:08:23.20\00:08:24.53
AND THEY SAID YES.
00:08:24.57\00:08:26.53
AND SO HE HAD CALLED
TEN OR TWELVE OF HIS COUSINS
00:08:26.57\00:08:28.94
TOGETHER AND TEN OF
THOSE TOOK UP THE CHALLENGE.
00:08:28.97\00:08:32.77
AND AFTER SPENDING TIME
WITH THEM HE SAYS IN TIME
00:08:32.81\00:08:37.65
WHEN THERE ARE NOT MANGOS
IN OUR COUNTRY AND WE FIND
00:08:37.68\00:08:40.55
A BEAUTIFUL MANGO DO
WE KEEP THAT AND EAT IT MY
00:08:40.58\00:08:42.85
OURSELVES, AS AN INDIAN MAN?
00:08:42.88\00:08:44.42
THEY SAID NO THAT
WOULD BE VERY SHAMEFUL.
00:08:44.45\00:08:46.45
WE WOULD GO SHARE IT
WITH OUR WIFE AND CHILDREN AND
00:08:46.49\00:08:48.72
GIVE EACH A LITTLE SLICE
BECAUSE MANGOS ARE LOVED.
00:08:48.76\00:08:51.69
AND SO HE SAYS NOW
GO DO THE SAME THING.
00:08:51.73\00:08:54.46
GO TAKE THIS WHAT YOU
HAVE LEARNED TO YOUR FAMILIES.
00:08:54.50\00:08:57.53
THAT HAS GROWN INTO A
MOVEMENT OF BRAHMINS AND
00:08:57.57\00:09:01.84
WE NOW HAVE SOMEWHERE
CLOSE TO ABOUT FIFTY-EIGHT
00:09:01.87\00:09:04.57
HUNDRED, ALMOST SIX
THOUSAND HOME FELLOWSHIPS
00:09:04.61\00:09:10.08
AMONG THE BRAHMINS IN
INDIA AND WE'VE JUST SEEN
00:09:10.11\00:09:15.92
IT POWERFULLY POWERFULLY GROW.
00:09:15.95\00:09:17.82
WE HAVE SEEN MUCH MORE
MIRACLES THAN WE HAVE SEEN
00:09:17.85\00:09:21.92
WITHIN THE ISLAMIC WORK
WE'VE DONE BECAUSE THERE'S
00:09:21.96\00:09:24.19
ALWAYS A LOT MORE
SPIRITISM, BUT JUST VERY
00:09:24.23\00:09:27.13
VERY POWERFUL MIRACLES
OF HOW GOD HAS BEEN WORKING.
00:09:27.13\00:09:31.07
YOU WANT TO EXPAND ON
THAT AT ALL BECAUSE THAT'S AN
00:09:31.10\00:09:34.27
INTERESTING DISTINCTION
THAT YOU'VE DRAWN BETWEEN
00:09:34.30\00:09:35.97
THE TWO.
00:09:36.00\00:09:36.84
SOMETIMES WE SAY TO
OURSELVES IN WESTERN
00:09:36.87\00:09:38.01
CULTURES YOU KNOW WHY
DON'T WE SEE MIRACLES.
00:09:38.04\00:09:40.21
AND EVEN AS YOUR
WORKING IN TWO SEPARATE EASTERN
00:09:40.24\00:09:42.68
CULTURES YOU'RE SEEING IN
ONE PLACE MORE THAN IN THE
00:09:42.71\00:09:47.35
OTHER.
00:09:47.38\00:09:48.05
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?
00:09:48.08\00:09:49.58
WELL I THINK GOD WANTS
TO REVEAL HIMSELF AND I'VE
00:09:49.62\00:09:52.79
SEEN IT EVEN IN
WESTERN CULTURES AMONG THE
00:09:52.82\00:09:55.32
UNCHURCHED.
00:09:55.36\00:09:56.32
GOD IS SENDING VISIONS
AND DREAMS AND THEY BECOME
00:09:56.36\00:09:58.63
CONVINCED THAT JESUS IS LORD.
00:09:58.66\00:10:00.93
SO I'LL TELL YOU JUST ONE STORY.
00:10:00.96\00:10:02.26
I COULD HAVE MAYBE
SHARED IT HERE BEFORE BUT THERE
00:10:02.30\00:10:05.33
WAS ONE YOUNG MAN.
00:10:05.37\00:10:07.40
HE BECAME A FOLLOWER OF
JESUS IN THE UNIVERSITY.
00:10:07.44\00:10:12.61
WITHIN THREE WEEKS OF
BECOMING A FOLLOWER OF
00:10:12.64\00:10:17.21
JESUS HE WAS ON HOME LEAVE.
00:10:17.25\00:10:20.78
SO HE WENT ON HOME
LEAVE AND WHEN HE IS ARRIVING
00:10:20.82\00:10:23.59
HOME HE JUST KEPT
HEARING THIS STILL SMALL VOICE,
00:10:23.62\00:10:26.09
YOU HAVE TO SHARE, YOU
HAVE TO SHARE, YOU HAVE TO
00:10:26.12\00:10:28.06
SHARE WITH YOUR FAMILY.
00:10:28.09\00:10:28.96
HE SAYS WELL I'M
JUST A NEW BELIEVER LORD.
00:10:28.99\00:10:31.36
WHY AM I SUPPOSED TO SHARE.
00:10:31.39\00:10:32.56
YOU KNOW IT'S HARD.
00:10:32.59\00:10:33.90
BUT HE GOES.
00:10:33.93\00:10:35.06
HE FIRST GOES TO HIS
MOTHER AND FATHER AND
00:10:35.10\00:10:37.47
GREETS THEM AND HIS
FATHER SAYS YOU NEED TO GO GREET
00:10:37.50\00:10:39.90
YOUR UNCLE.
00:10:39.93\00:10:40.97
HIS UNCLE WAS THE MAYOR
OF THE LITTLE TOWN WHERE THEY
00:10:41.00\00:10:43.74
LIVED.
00:10:43.77\00:10:44.81
SO HE GOES TO THE MAYOR'S
OFFICE TO GREET HIS UNCLE.
00:10:44.84\00:10:47.44
IT'S A TWO-STORY BUILDING.
00:10:47.48\00:10:48.48
THE UNCLE'S OFFICE IS UP
ON THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE
00:10:48.51\00:10:50.85
MUNICIPAL BUILDING.
00:10:50.88\00:10:51.75
SO HE COMES TO THE
MUNICIPAL BUILDING, GOES
00:10:51.78\00:10:52.85
UP TO HIS UNCLE'S OFFICE.
00:10:52.88\00:10:53.88
AND WHEN HE ARRIVES HIS
UNCLE AND HIS ADVISOR WERE
00:10:53.92\00:10:58.62
TALKING ON THE BALCONY.
00:11:01.32\00:11:03.29
AND THE UNCLE AND THE
ADVISOR WERE TALKING ABOUT
00:11:03.32\00:11:06.49
JUST ALL THE PROBLEMS
THEY WERE HAVING AND SO HE
00:11:06.53\00:11:08.73
COMES IN, OVERHEARS WHAT
THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT AND
00:11:08.76\00:11:11.57
HE HEARS AGAIN THIS
STILL SMALL VOICE, TELL YOUR
00:11:11.60\00:11:16.74
UNCLE YOU HAVE THE
SOLUTION TO ALL THE
00:11:16.77\00:11:18.67
PROBLEMS IN YOUR COMMUNITY.
00:11:18.71\00:11:20.14
AND HE SAYS GOD THIS IS TOO BIG.
00:11:20.18\00:11:25.35
WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME THIS.
00:11:25.38\00:11:26.78
TELL YOUR UNCLE TRUST ME.
00:11:26.82\00:11:28.75
FINALLY BECAUSE HE
WAS ONLY LIKE 23, 24 YEARS
00:11:28.78\00:11:31.55
OLD, I'VE MET HIM
PERSONALLY, AND HE SAYS
00:11:31.59\00:11:34.46
UNCLE I HAVE THE SOLUTION.
00:11:34.49\00:11:37.09
AND THE ADVISOR LOOKS
AT HIM WITH WHAT DO YOU
00:11:37.13\00:11:39.39
THINK.
00:11:39.43\00:11:40.43
JUST BECAUSE YOU'VE COME
HOME FROM THE UNIVERSITY,
00:11:40.46\00:11:41.70
SECOND YEAR UNIVERSITY
YOU THINK YOU HAVE THE
00:11:41.73\00:11:43.73
SOLUTION TO THE
PROBLEMS WE CAN'T.
00:11:43.77\00:11:46.03
SO HE SAYS I HAVE
THE SOLUTION AND IT'S NOT
00:11:46.07\00:11:48.74
ABOUT WHAT I'M
LEARNING IN THE CLASSES.
00:11:48.77\00:11:53.41
AND THE UNCLE SAYS WHAT.
00:11:53.44\00:11:54.44
HE SAYS WILL I THINK THE
REAL ISSUES ARE SPIRITUAL
00:11:54.48\00:11:57.11
ISSUES WE CAN'T
RESOLVE IN OUR TOWN.
00:11:57.15\00:12:01.05
BECAUSE IN THIS TOWN ALL
THE FAMILIES WERE FIGHTING
00:12:01.08\00:12:03.89
AND WHEN HE HAD
ARRIVED THERE WERE TWO KIDS
00:12:03.92\00:12:06.32
FIGHTING DOWN ON
THE STREET, JUST IN THIS
00:12:06.35\00:12:09.22
HORRIBLE FIST FIGHT.
00:12:09.26\00:12:10.46
AND THAT'S WHAT HIS
UNCLE AND THE ADVISOR WERE
00:12:10.49\00:12:13.60
WATCHING AND SAYING
THIS IS REALLY AN X-RAY OF
00:12:13.63\00:12:17.83
WHAT'S GOING ON IN
OUR VILLAGE AND OUR TOWN.
00:12:17.87\00:12:20.00
EVERYONE IS FIGHTING EACH OTHER.
00:12:20.04\00:12:22.27
AND HE SAYS IT'S A
SPIRITUAL PROBLEM AND WE
00:12:22.30\00:12:25.47
NEED TO ASK THE
CREATOR GOD TO HELP US RESOLVE
00:12:25.51\00:12:27.68
THIS.
00:12:27.71\00:12:29.24
HIS UNCLE WAS QUIET
AWHILE, THE ADVISOR STARTS
00:12:29.28\00:12:32.25
TO LAUGH AND KIND OF
MOCK HIM BUT THE UNCLE SAYS
00:12:32.28\00:12:35.45
MAYBE YOU'RE
RIGHT ABOUT SOMETHING.
00:12:35.48\00:12:37.02
THIS IS A SPIRITUAL ISSUE.
00:12:37.05\00:12:38.42
HE SAYS WELL UNCLE I
WOULD CHALLENGE YOU RIGHT NOW TO
00:12:38.45\00:12:41.99
KNEEL DOWN AND PRAY
IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
00:12:42.02\00:12:44.49
AND THE ADVISOR SAYS
JESUS, HAVE YOU BECOME A
00:12:44.53\00:12:47.50
CHRISTIAN?
00:12:47.56\00:12:48.40
HE SAYS NO BUT I
HAVE BECOME A FOLLOWER OF
00:12:48.43\00:12:49.90
JESUS.
00:12:49.93\00:12:50.93
BECAUSE CHRISTIAN IN
THEIR MIND MEANS DRESSING AND
00:12:50.97\00:12:52.77
ACTING LIKE THE BRITISH
BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN A PART
00:12:52.80\00:12:54.97
OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE AND
THE BRITISH WERE NOT LOVED
00:12:55.00\00:12:58.07
IN INDIA BY THE RULING ELITE.
00:12:58.11\00:13:01.24
THEY HAD REALLY
HURT THEM SIGNIFICANTLY.
00:13:01.28\00:13:04.88
BUT THE UNCLE SAYS
YOU'RE NOT A CHRISTIAN BUT YOU
00:13:04.91\00:13:06.58
FOLLOW JESUS?
00:13:06.61\00:13:07.25
YES.
00:13:07.28\00:13:08.25
AND HE SAID UNCLE IF
YOU KNEEL WITH ME AND WE ASK
00:13:08.28\00:13:09.25
THE CREATOR GOD IN THE
NAME OF JESUS I BELIEVE IT
00:13:09.28\00:13:10.62
WILL BE RESOLVED.
00:13:10.65\00:13:11.45
AND SO THE UNCLE
KNEELS DOWN WITH HIM.
00:13:11.49\00:13:12.62
THE UNCLE LOOKS AT
THE ADVISOR, YOU TOO?
00:13:12.65\00:13:13.96
SO THE THREE MEN
KNEEL DOWN AND THE YOUNG MAN
00:13:13.99\00:13:19.06
SAYS REPEAT AFTER ME UNCLE.
00:13:23.43\00:13:24.57
OH GOD IN HEAVEN, WE
ASK THAT YOU WILL BRING YOUR
00:13:24.60\00:13:25.90
SPIRIT, YOU WILL BREAK
THE BONDS OF HATRED AND ANGER
00:13:25.93\00:13:27.24
AND STRIFE IN OUR TOWN.
00:13:27.27\00:13:28.24
AND THE UNCLE REPEATS
AFTER HIM AND THEN HE ASKS
00:13:28.27\00:13:29.27
IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
00:13:29.30\00:13:30.14
AND THE UNCLE SAYS
IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
00:13:30.17\00:13:31.11
AND WHEN THEY SAY THIS
THEY JUST FEEL LIKE THIS
00:13:31.14\00:13:32.61
STREAM, THE YOUNG MAN
TOLD ME, JUST OF HEAVEN, JUST
00:13:32.64\00:13:33.94
LIKE A WATERFALL
FLOWING INTO THAT OFFICE.
00:13:33.98\00:13:35.28
AND IT WAS JUST LIKE A
SHHHH COMING IN AND THEN
00:13:35.31\00:13:36.71
SPREADING TO THE VILLAGE.
00:13:36.75\00:13:37.75
THEN THE UNCLE SAYS
WE'RE GOING TO GO SEE THE TWO
00:13:37.78\00:13:38.75
KIDS OUTSIDE.
00:13:38.78\00:13:39.75
THEY GO TO THE BALCONY
AND THE TWO KIDS HAD JUST
00:13:39.78\00:13:40.72
RESOLVED AND WERE NOW
PLAYING NICELY TOGETHER.
00:13:40.75\00:13:42.08
BEFORE HE GOES HOME
PEOPLE ARE NOW ASKING WHAT HAS
00:13:42.12\00:13:43.45
HAPPENED IN OUR VILLAGE.
00:13:43.49\00:13:44.52
WHEN HE COMES HOME FOR
THE SECOND TIME THE UNCLE HAS
00:13:44.55\00:13:45.25
TOLD EVERYONE WHAT HAD HAPPENED.
00:13:45.29\00:13:46.79
THAT HE HAD
PRAYED WITH HIS NEPHEW.
00:13:46.82\00:13:51.89
AND WHEN HE CAME HOME FOR
HIS SECOND HOME LEAVE, AND
00:14:19.82\00:14:21.89
I MET HIM JUST AFTER
HIS SECOND HOME LEAVE, HE
00:14:21.92\00:14:25.06
SHARED HOW EVERYONE
WAS WAITING FOR HIM TO TELL
00:14:25.09\00:14:28.76
MORE ABOUT JESUS.
00:14:28.80\00:14:30.00
INCREDIBLE.
00:14:30.03\00:14:30.67
GREAT STORY .
00:14:30.70\00:14:31.63
WE'RE GOING TO
TAKE A SHORT BREAK.
00:14:31.67\00:14:33.90
STAY TUNED BECAUSE WE
HAVE MORE WITH MARTY PHILLIPS

BEAUTIFUL.... BUT TAKE
A CLOSER LOOK AND YOU CAN
00:14:39.04\00:14:44.31
SEE THE PAIN OF A WORLD
ON A COLLISION COURSE WITH

ITS OWN GREED.
00:14:49.98\00:14:52.05
HUMANITY...

00:14:55.22\00:14:57.59
WE NEED A SAVIOR.
00:14:57.63\00:15:00.96
MORE THAN ONE THIRD OF
THE WORLD'S 7 BILLION PEOPLE
00:15:00.96\00:15:04.37
STILL NEED TO HEAR ABOUT
GOD'S LOVE AND HIS PLAN TO
00:15:04.40\00:15:08.34

ONE THIRD.

00:16:20.98\00:16:23.18
LOTS OF GREAT STORIES
WITHIN IT THAT MY FAMILY
00:16:23.21\00:16:25.71

AND NOW WE MUST FIND
OUT MORE ABOUT WHAT'S
00:16:34.76\00:16:37.23
HAPPENING WITH
THE WORK WITH HINDUS.
00:16:37.26\00:16:39.46
YES, JUST AS YOU
WERE MAKING THAT SMALL
00:16:39.49\00:16:41.43
COMMERCIAL, AND IT WAS,
IT WAS, I WILL ADD TO THAT.
00:16:41.46\00:16:46.97
WE NEED ABOUT 40
MORE WORKERS FOR THE HINDU
00:16:47.00\00:16:50.77
WORK, EACH ONE AT
APPROXIMATELY $150
00:16:50.81\00:16:53.21
DOLLARS.
00:16:53.24\00:16:54.08
THAT'S EIGHTEEN
HUNDRED DOLLARS A YEAR.
00:16:54.11\00:16:55.88
IT WOULD BE SEVENTY-TWO
THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR TO
00:16:55.91\00:16:58.95
REALLY EXPAND AND
STRENGTHEN THAT WORK SO WE
00:16:58.98\00:17:01.65
COULD TAKE IT TO THE NEXT STEP.
00:17:01.68\00:17:02.62
SEVENTY-TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS.
00:17:02.65\00:17:03.59
THE WHOLE WORK THAT
YOU ARE DOING WITH HINDUS
00:17:03.62\00:17:05.52
COULD JUST BE
REALLY REALLY ENHANCED.
00:17:05.55\00:17:08.76
FORTY WORKERS.
00:17:08.79\00:17:09.59
FORTY WORKERS YES
IS WHAT WE NEED MORE.
00:17:09.62\00:17:11.76
IT'S WHAT THEY ARE REQUESTING.
00:17:11.79\00:17:13.56
AND TO JUST SHARE A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS AND THE
00:17:13.60\00:17:15.80
ENTHUSIASM THAT'S HAPPENING.
00:17:15.83\00:17:18.00
THERE'S ONE YOUNG MAN,
ANOTHER YOUNG MAN AND IT'S
00:17:18.03\00:17:23.17
INTERESTING.
00:17:23.20\00:17:24.21
I'VE WATCHED THE SPIRITUAL
GENERATIONS BETWEEN LIKE
00:17:24.24\00:17:28.18
THIS LAST ONE I JUST
SHARED A STORY AND THIS
00:17:28.21\00:17:30.95
MAN.
00:17:30.98\00:17:31.95
THERE ARE LIKE FOUR OR
FIVE SPIRITUAL GENERATIONS
00:17:31.98\00:17:36.32
BETWEEN US.
00:17:36.35\00:17:37.82
AND SO I ASKED HIM WHAT
IS YOUR VISION FOR THE CITY,
00:17:37.85\00:17:42.92
HE WORKS IN THE CITY OF
CALCUTTA AND I GUESS I CAN
00:17:42.96\00:17:46.39
SHARE THAT.
00:17:46.43\00:17:47.20
AND I ASKED HIM
WHAT IS YOUR VISION.
00:17:47.23\00:17:49.33
HE IS QUIET, NOT EVEN
TEN SECONDS AND HE SAYS MY
00:17:52.27\00:17:57.44
DREAM IS THAT IN TEN
YEARS I CAN WALK ANY ROAD DOWN
00:17:57.47\00:18:02.61
ANY STREET AND I CAN
HEAR WORSHIP GOING ON TO JESUS
00:18:05.18\00:18:09.32
IN THE EVENING.
00:18:09.35\00:18:10.19
HEARING THE SONGS
OF CHRIST BEING RAISED.
00:18:10.22\00:18:12.69
NOW THAT'S A PRETTY BIG VISION.
00:18:12.72\00:18:15.62
IT IS.
00:18:15.66\00:18:16.66
BUT WHAT I HAVE FOUND IS
THAT IF WE DON'T DREAM BIG
00:18:16.69\00:18:18.93
FOR GOD THINGS NEVER HAPPEN.
00:18:18.96\00:18:21.56
IF WE DREAM SMALL,
I'VE TRIED TO IMBIBE IN OUR
00:18:21.60\00:18:24.30
WHOLE SYSTEM WITH THE
FIRST PEOPLE GOD BRINGS US
00:18:24.33\00:18:27.34
INTO CONTACT YOU HAVE
TO DREAM FOR YOUR WHOLE
00:18:27.37\00:18:29.54
COUNTRY OR FOR YOUR
WHOLE REGION AND THEY DO THIS
00:18:29.57\00:18:32.54
ALL THE WAY DOWN.
00:18:32.57\00:18:33.48
IF THE FOCUS GOES
AWAY FROM PLANTING A HOUSE
00:18:33.51\00:18:36.34
CHURCH OR A CONGREGATION
IS HOW DO I BRING MY CITY,
00:18:36.38\00:18:40.15
HOW DO I BRING MY
REGION, HOW DO I BRING MY STATE,
00:18:40.18\00:18:43.08
HOW DO I BRING MY
COUNTRY, HOW DO I BRING MY WHOLE
00:18:43.12\00:18:45.75
PEOPLE GROUP TO CHRIST.
00:18:45.79\00:18:48.12
AND HE IS ENTRENCHED.
00:18:48.16\00:18:49.56
HIS FAMILY COMES FROM
THAT CITY AND HE SAYS I WANT
00:18:49.59\00:18:52.73
THIS CITY FOR CHRIST.
00:18:52.76\00:18:54.96
NOW WE KIND OF LAUGH AND
SAY HOW CAN HE HAVE THAT,
00:18:55.00\00:18:57.57
IT'S ONE OF THE
BIGGEST CITIES IN THE WORLD.
00:18:57.60\00:18:59.30
YES IT IS.
00:18:59.33\00:19:00.40
AND LET ME SHARE WHAT HE
HAD DONE IN LESS THAN TWO
00:19:00.44\00:19:03.74
YEARS OF BEING A
FOLLOWER OF CHRIST AND WHY I
00:19:03.77\00:19:06.31
BELIEVE IT'S POSSIBLE
WHEN YOU HAVE BIG DREAMS.
00:19:06.34\00:19:09.91
AND I KIND OF SAY WELL
THAT'S A PRETTY BIG DREAM.
00:19:09.94\00:19:16.12
HOW IS THAT
EVER GOING TO HAPPEN?
00:19:16.15\00:19:17.52
HE SAYS WELL, HE SAYS
LET ME TELL YOU MY STORY.
00:19:17.55\00:19:20.79
I'M A PROFESSIONAL TUTOR.
00:19:20.82\00:19:24.53
I TUTOR FOR THE WEALTHIEST
FAMILIES IN THIS CITY AND
00:19:24.56\00:19:28.26
WHEN I BECAME A FOLLOWER
OF JESUS GOD TOLD ME YOU
00:19:28.30\00:19:31.57
NEED TO TAKE THE
GOSPEL TO ALL THESE.
00:19:31.60\00:19:33.47
I HAVE TUTORED HUNDREDS
OF CHILDREN OF THE WEALTHIEST
00:19:33.50\00:19:36.20
PEOPLE IN THIS CITY IN
THE HARDEST SUBJECTS IN
00:19:36.24\00:19:39.41
MATHEMATICS AND SO FORTH.
00:19:39.44\00:19:41.51
I'VE ALREADY
PLANTED 127 HOUSE CHURCHES.
00:19:43.88\00:19:46.75
ONE HUNDRED
TWENTY-SEVEN IN TWO YEARS?
00:19:46.78\00:19:49.68
IN TWO YEARS.
00:19:49.72\00:19:52.02
AND I SAID NO THAT CAN'T BE.
00:19:52.05\00:19:55.32
THE PERSON WHO BROUGHT
HIM TO CHRIST WHO RUNS THE
00:19:55.36\00:19:57.99
HOUSE CHURCH AND THE
TWO ABOVE SAID IT'S TRUE, WE
00:19:58.03\00:20:00.90
KNOW THE PEOPLE.
00:20:00.93\00:20:02.13
NOW THIS ISN'T ALWAYS
COMMON, THIS ISN'T ALWAYS
00:20:02.16\00:20:04.73
NORMAL.
00:20:04.77\00:20:05.97
BUT WE FIND THESE
PEOPLE AND MOVEMENT STARTS
00:20:06.00\00:20:08.07
HAPPENING.
00:20:08.10\00:20:08.74
SO WHAT DID HE DO?
00:20:08.77\00:20:09.77
THE FAMILIES THAT HE WAS
WORKING WITH AND TUTORING
00:20:09.80\00:20:11.97
HE STARTED
SHARING WITH THE CHILDREN.
00:20:12.01\00:20:13.54
YES.
00:20:13.58\00:20:14.34
THE CHILDREN GET EXCITED.
00:20:14.38\00:20:15.58
THEY TAKE IT TO MAMA,
THEY TAKE IT TO DADDY.
00:20:15.61\00:20:17.61
THEN THAT HOUSE
BECOMES A WORSHIPPING HOUSE.
00:20:17.65\00:20:21.18
THEY NOW START SHARING
WITH THEIR RELATIVES AND A
00:20:21.22\00:20:24.09
MOVEMENT STARTS EMERGING.
00:20:24.12\00:20:26.12
SO WE HAVE SEEN THESE
THINGS HAPPEN OVER AND
00:20:26.15\00:20:28.29
OVER.
00:20:28.32\00:20:29.32
NOW THIS ISN'T THE EVERY
DAY EXPERIENCE BUT THIS IS
00:20:29.36\00:20:33.50
WHAT I THINK WE NEED TO
GIVE PEOPLE BIG DREAMS AND
00:20:33.53\00:20:36.10
BIG VISIONS.
00:20:36.13\00:20:37.03
AND THIS HAS BECOME
HIS OVERWHELMING DREAM.
00:20:37.07\00:20:39.53
HOW DO I BRING
THIS CITY TO CHRIST.
00:20:39.57\00:20:42.54
AND SO IT WAS SOMETHING
THAT HIT HOME BACK TO ME.
00:20:42.57\00:20:45.61
I THINK THIS IS FOR
MY OWN PEOPLE GROUP.
00:20:45.64\00:20:48.34
YES.
00:20:48.38\00:20:49.34
IF WE'RE GOING TO REACH
WHERE I LIVE IN THE CITY
00:20:49.38\00:20:50.81
OF CHATTANOOGA, WE NEED
TO THINK HOW ARE WE GOING TO
00:20:50.85\00:20:53.85
REACH CHATTANOOGA.
00:20:53.88\00:20:54.92
NOT JUST HOW AM I GOING
TO GROW MY PARTICULAR CHURCH.
00:20:54.95\00:20:58.45
HOW ARE WE GOING TO
REACH THE STATE OF TENNESSEE.
00:20:58.49\00:21:02.62
SO I THINK THAT WE
REALLY NEED TO, IT WOULD BE MY
00:21:02.66\00:21:06.96
CHALLENGE BACK TO MY OWN
PEOPLE AND TO MY CHURCH IS
00:21:07.00\00:21:09.70
THAT WE TAKE AWAY A
FOCUS OF JUST TELLING OUR
00:21:09.73\00:21:12.87
PASTORS JUST PLANT
YOUR CHURCH, JUST GROW YOUR
00:21:12.90\00:21:15.90
CHURCH, JUST MAINTAIN IT.
00:21:15.94\00:21:17.01
HOW DO YOU BRING YOUR
CITY, HOW DO YOU BRING
00:21:17.04\00:21:19.61
YOUR STATE, HOW DO
YOU BRING OUR COUNTRY TO A
00:21:19.64\00:21:21.88
POINT OF ACCEPTING CHRIST.
00:21:21.91\00:21:24.78
AND SO MEN LIKE THIS,
HE LED ON THE BACKS OF VERY
00:21:24.81\00:21:29.42
YOUNG PEOPLE WHO HAVE
ACCEPTED THIS MESSAGE.
00:21:29.45\00:21:32.19
WE'RE JUST SEEING IT
AND NOW WE HAVE AROUND SIX
00:21:32.22\00:21:34.92
THOUSAND HOUSE
CHURCHES AMONG HINDUS.
00:21:34.96\00:21:37.19
BUT THIS IS GIVING SOME
OF THE NETWORKS OF HOW THAT
00:21:37.23\00:21:40.96
HAPPENS.
00:21:41.00\00:21:41.76
HOW THAT HAPPENS.
00:21:41.80\00:21:43.06
YES.
00:21:43.10\00:21:44.33
AND WHAT WOULD YOU SAY
ARE SOME OF THE BIGGEST
00:21:44.37\00:21:46.77
CHALLENGES TO THE
WORK WITH HINDU PEOPLE?
00:21:46.80\00:21:50.17
I KNOW YOU DON'T REALLY
TALK ABOUT CHALLENGES, YOU
00:21:53.98\00:21:55.74
TALK ABOUT THE WAY
THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING.
00:21:55.78\00:21:58.71
YES.
00:21:58.75\00:21:59.45
THERE ARE DEFINITELY CHALLENGES.
00:21:59.48\00:22:01.02
WE HAVE HAD TO BE VERY
CAREFUL FOR THERE NOT TO
00:22:01.05\00:22:02.35
BE A HIT BACK ON WHAT
WE'RE DOING AND SO WE HAVE
00:22:02.38\00:22:03.69
HAD TO MAKE SOME HARD DECISIONS.
00:22:03.72\00:22:08.79
WE HAVE SAID THIS IS ONLY
A BRAHMIN MOVEMENT AT THIS
00:22:13.96\00:22:16.87
TIME.
00:22:16.90\00:22:17.83
BECAUSE IF THE
BRAHMINS NOW START SHARING WITH
00:22:17.87\00:22:20.67
LOWER CASTE, THIS IS A
VERY STRATIFIED SOCIETY.
00:22:20.70\00:22:23.14
THE CHRISTIAN
CHURCH IN INDIA, TO GIVE A
00:22:23.17\00:22:25.97
BACKGROUND, HAS GROWN
MAINLY AMONG NON-CASTE
00:22:26.01\00:22:30.11
PEOPLE.
00:22:30.15\00:22:31.15
THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH IN
INDIA, ADVENTIST, BAPTIST,
00:22:31.18\00:22:33.78
METHODIST, CATHOLIC,
PRESBYTERIAN STARTED AMONG
00:22:33.82\00:22:39.45
TRIBAL PEOPLE WHO ARE NON-CASTE.
00:22:39.49\00:22:41.86
LATER IT MOVED TO THE DALITS.
00:22:41.89\00:22:43.36
THE DALITS WE MIGHT KNOW
THEM AS THE UNTOUCHABLES.
00:22:43.39\00:22:44.73
BUT THIS IS WHERE IT HAS GROWN.
00:22:44.76\00:22:45.63
THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH
EXISTS AMONG NON-CASTE
00:22:45.66\00:22:46.73
PEOPLE.
00:22:46.76\00:22:47.66
AND SO THEN MAYBE IN
THE LAST FIFTEEN YEARS THE
00:22:47.73\00:22:48.73
CHURCH GREW IN THE LOWEST,
ONE AND TWO, LOWEST LEVELS
00:22:48.76\00:22:50.03
OF THE CASTE SOCIETY.
00:22:50.07\00:22:50.83
BUT IT'S ALMOST
A NON-CASTE CHURCH.
00:22:50.87\00:22:52.03
YES.
00:22:52.07\00:22:53.07
BUT WHAT YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT IS WITH THE WEALTHY
00:22:53.10\00:22:57.81
PEOPLE IN CALCUTTA
WITH THE BRAHMIN, WITH A
00:23:11.99\00:23:14.46
DIFFERENT GROUP.
00:23:14.49\00:23:16.99
YES, THIS IS A DIFFERENT GROUP.
00:23:17.03\00:23:18.56
WITH THE LEADERS, NOT ALL
OF THEM ARE RICH, BUT THEY
00:23:18.59\00:23:20.66
ARE THE LEADERS, THE
MOVERS AND THE SHAKERS AND
00:23:20.70\00:23:21.96
THE PRIESTLY CASTE.
00:23:22.00\00:23:23.00
AND SO YOU SAY WELL WHY
DO YOU NEED HELP FOR THIS?
00:23:23.03\00:23:24.03
BUT WE WOULD LIKE TO
TAKE SOME OF THESE YOUNG MEN
00:23:24.07\00:23:29.10
WHO HAVE BEEN ENGAGED IN
OTHER WORK AND WE CAN GIVE
00:23:34.84\00:23:37.58
THEM A STIPEND TO
PAY THEIR BUS FARE, THEIR
00:23:37.61\00:23:40.95
TRAVEL, THEIR GAS MONEY
SO THAT THEY CAN REALLY FOCUS
00:23:40.98\00:23:45.42
ON MINISTRY AT LEAST
OVER A LONG WEEKEND AND BE
00:23:45.45\00:23:49.19
INVOLVED IN THE EVENINGS.
00:23:49.22\00:23:50.39
BECAUSE MOST OF THEM
HAVE SOME OTHER FORM OF
00:23:50.43\00:23:52.23
ENGAGEMENT THAT $150
WOULD BE ENOUGH FOR THEM TO
00:23:52.26\00:23:56.00
COVER SOME OF THOSE
EXPENSES SO THEY CAN BE
00:23:56.03\00:23:58.33
MORE INVOLVED IN MINISTRY.
00:23:58.37\00:24:01.54
IT'S PRETTY EXCITING
TO HEAR ABOUT THE WORK
00:24:01.57\00:24:05.01
ACTUALLY EXPANDING FROM,
OF COURSE WE WANT TO REACH
00:24:05.04\00:24:09.54
ALL THE PEOPLE OF EVERY CASTE.
00:24:09.58\00:24:11.38
WHAT WE HAVE FELT IS THAT
ONCE WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT
00:24:11.41\00:24:15.88
OF THE VERY TOP CASTE
THEN WE WILL TAKE IT CASTE BY
00:24:15.92\00:24:18.85
CASTE BY CASTE DOWN.
00:24:18.89\00:24:20.49
THEY ARE ALREADY READY
TO BREAK THE CASTE SYSTEM.
00:24:20.52\00:24:24.19
AND WE CAME AT A TIME
WHEN GOD HAD PREPARED MANY MANY
00:24:24.23\00:24:27.96
THINGS AMONG THE INTELLIGENCE.
00:24:28.00\00:24:31.23
EVEN AMONG THE BRAHMINS
THERE IS A FEELING WHY ALL
00:24:31.27\00:24:34.54
THESE IDOLS AND STUFF.
00:24:34.57\00:24:36.50
IT DOESN'T MAKE
SENSE TO THE MODERN MIND.
00:24:36.54\00:24:39.84
YOU COME AND POUR YOUR
SACRIFICE AND THEN DRINK
00:24:39.87\00:24:42.51
THE MILK OR THE WATER
THAT HAS BEEN POURED OFF THE
00:24:42.54\00:24:45.11
DIRTY IDOL MAKES NO
SENSE TO TODAY'S EDUCATED
00:24:45.15\00:24:47.98
PEOPLE.
00:24:48.02\00:24:48.92
SO GOD HAS BROUGHT
MANY MANY THINGS, FACTORS
00:24:48.95\00:24:51.62
TOGETHER.
00:24:51.65\00:24:52.62
THERE ARE MANY CHALLENGES.
00:24:52.65\00:24:54.66
THERE ARE SECURITY CHALLENGES.
00:24:54.69\00:24:56.16
NEITHER HINDUS NOR
BUDDHISTS NOR MUSLIMS WANT
00:24:56.19\00:24:58.76
TO SEE PEOPLE LEAVE THEIR RANKS.
00:24:58.79\00:25:01.60
BUT IF WE RESPECT
THEIR CULTURE IN ALL OF THOSE
00:25:01.63\00:25:05.60
PEOPLE GROUPS,
THOSE THINGS THAT DON'T GO
00:25:05.63\00:25:08.07
AGAINST THE BIBLE, THAT
DON'T GO AGAINST GOD, IT
00:25:08.10\00:25:11.11
REALLY HELPS AND
MAINTAIN THE MOVEMENT GOING.
00:25:11.14\00:25:15.48
WE JUST HAVE A LITTLE
BIT OF TIME LEFT, BUT YOU'RE
00:25:15.51\00:25:17.11
MAKING AN IMPORTANT
DISTINCTION THERE THAT
00:25:17.15\00:25:19.48
HELPING SOMEONE TO
BECOME A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST IS A
00:25:19.51\00:25:21.72
VERY DIFFERENT THING
THAN TRYING TO MAKE THEM A
00:25:21.75\00:25:24.49
WESTERNER.
00:25:24.52\00:25:25.59
EXACTLY.
00:25:25.62\00:25:26.62
AND WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN
THE PAST WHETHER YOU WERE
00:25:26.65\00:25:28.79
HINDU, MUSLIM OR BUDDHIST,
IF YOU BECAME A FOLLOWER
00:25:28.82\00:25:31.16
OF JESUS OVERSEAS YOU
HAD TO GO CHANGE YOUR NAME
00:25:31.19\00:25:34.30
USUALLY, HAD TO
CHANGE YOUR IDENTITY CARDS.
00:25:34.36\00:25:37.50
IT NOW HAD TO SAY I AM
NOW A CHRISTIAN , NO LONGER A
00:25:37.53\00:25:40.00
MUSLIM, NO LONGER A
HINDU, NO LONGER A BUDDHIST AND
00:25:40.04\00:25:43.17
YOU USUALLY TOOK ON THE
NAME OF YOUR MISSIONARY OR
00:25:43.20\00:25:45.44
THE MISSIONARY WOULD SAY
NOW I'M GOING TO CALL YOU,
00:25:45.47\00:25:47.58
GIVE YOU YOUR CHRISTIAN NAME.
00:25:47.61\00:25:49.34
YOUR NEW CHRISTIAN NAME.
00:25:49.38\00:25:50.45
AND SO THIS
GREATLY DISRUPTED SOCIETY.
00:25:50.48\00:25:53.28
YOU NEED TO DRESS
DIFFERENT, YOU NEED TO
00:25:53.31\00:25:54.98
TALK DIFFERENT, YOU
NOW LOSE ALL Y OUR FAMILY
00:25:55.02\00:25:58.39
RELATIONS AND
EXISTING SOCIAL NETWORK AND YOU
00:25:58.42\00:26:00.82
BECOME A PART OF THE
NETWORK OF YOUR LOCAL
00:26:00.86\00:26:03.26
CHURCH.
00:26:03.29\00:26:04.33
AND WE HAVE FOUND THAT
HAS BEEN VERY DETRIMENTAL FOR
00:26:04.36\00:26:07.60
REALLY A MOVEMENT TO
TAKE OFF SO YOU LEAVE THEM IN
00:26:07.66\00:26:09.96
THEIR PLACE.
00:26:10.00\00:26:11.17
THEY BECOME A CHRIST
FOLLOWER WITHIN THEIR
00:26:11.20\00:26:13.37
PLACE AND THEN THEY LIVE
OUT WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A
00:26:13.40\00:26:15.90
CHRIST FOLLOWER WITHIN
THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
00:26:15.94\00:26:17.94
WITHOUT HAVING TO
BE EJECTED OR REJECTED.
00:26:17.97\00:26:20.81
YES.
00:26:20.84\00:26:21.64
VERY IMPORTANT DISTINCTION.
00:26:21.68\00:26:23.51
AND AGAIN QUICK RECAP OF
WHAT IT COSTS FOR A WORKER
00:26:23.55\00:26:27.32
AND HOW MANY YOU NEED.
00:26:27.35\00:26:28.28
WE NEED FOR THE HINDU
WORK WE NEED 40 WORKERS
00:26:28.32\00:26:31.15
ACCORDING TO WHAT
THEY ARE REQUESTING.
00:26:31.19\00:26:33.36
AN AVERAGE $150 THAT'S
EIGHTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS A
00:26:33.39\00:26:37.06
YEAR PER WORKER.
00:26:37.09\00:26:38.33
FOR 40 WORKERS THAT
SEVENTH-TWO THOUSAND
00:26:38.36\00:26:40.40
DOLLARS.
00:26:40.43\00:26:41.10
ALRIGHT.
00:26:41.13\00:26:41.93
AND YOU CAN
CERTAINLY HELP WITH THAT.
00:26:41.96\00:26:45.17
IT'S YOUR OPPORTUNITY RIGHT NOW.
00:26:45.20\00:26:47.37
YOU KNOW HOW TO CONTACT US.
00:26:47.40\00:26:49.47
YOU SEE THE INFORMATION THERE.
00:26:49.50\00:26:51.27
PLEASE BE PRAYERFUL
ABOUT WHAT YOU COULD DO TO HELP
00:26:51.31\00:26:54.34
WITH THE HINDU WORK
AS MARTY HAS JUST BEEN
00:26:54.38\00:26:56.44
DESCRIBING TO US.
00:26:56.48\00:26:57.85
IT'S NOT A BIG
SACRIFICE FOR MOST OF US IN OUR
00:26:57.88\00:27:01.42
NORTH AMERICAN CULTURE
TO DO SOMETHING TO HELP.
00:27:01.45\00:27:06.69
IN FACT JUST TO SPONSOR A
WORKER FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR.
00:27:06.72\00:27:10.49
BE PRAYERFUL ABOUT IT.
00:27:10.53\00:27:11.56
BE THINKING ABOUT IT AND
I HOPE THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE
00:27:11.59\00:27:13.73
TO CONTRIBUTE AND BE
A SPONSOR AND HELP THIS
00:27:13.76\00:27:16.33
WORK.
00:27:16.36\00:27:17.37
IT'S AN INCREDIBLE THING
THAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE
00:27:17.40\00:27:19.30
HINDU PEOPLE.
00:27:19.33\00:27:20.60
MAY YOU BE ABLE TO SAY
THAT YOU WERE A PART OF
00:27:20.64\00:27:23.10
IT.
00:27:23.14\00:27:24.17
THANKS AGAIN FOR TUNING
IN TO ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS.
00:27:24.21\00:27:28.88
[CLOSING MUSIC]
00:27:58.77\00:28:03.91
