00:00:34.10\00:00:36.10
I'M LYNELLE ELLIS YOUR

00:00:36.13\00:00:40.20
INTERESTING
GUESTS WITH ME TODAY.

00:00:41.97\00:00:44.91
JOINING US ON THE PROGRAM.
00:00:44.94\00:00:46.27
AND THIS INTERVIEW
IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE
00:00:46.31\00:00:47.61
DIFFERENT THAN SOME
THAT YOU'VE EXPERIENCED ON
00:00:47.64\00:00:49.44
ADVENTURES IN
MISSIONS BEFORE BECAUSE WE ARE
00:00:49.48\00:00:51.78
GOING TO BE INTERVIEWING
THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOW
00:00:51.81\00:00:54.15
MUSICAL
AMBASSADORS FOR THIS MINISTRY.
00:00:54.18\00:00:57.89
IT'S GREAT TO HAVE
YOU HERE WITH US TODAY.
00:00:57.92\00:01:00.42
IT'S A JOY TO BE HERE.
00:01:00.46\00:01:01.46
AND I THINK FIRST SINCE
YOU'RE NOT HERE TO REPORT
00:01:01.49\00:01:04.99
ON A PARTICULAR REGION
OF THE WORLD AS MOST OF OUR
00:01:05.03\00:01:07.46
GUESTS DO I THINK FIRST
LET'S HAVE YOU EXPLAIN A
00:01:07.50\00:01:09.66
LITTLE BIT WHAT A
MUSICAL AMBASSADOR DOES AND HOW
00:01:09.70\00:01:13.37
YOU CAME TO BE
ASSOCIATED WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:01:13.40\00:01:15.57
OH WOW.
00:01:15.60\00:01:16.57
WELL FIRST OF ALL A
LITTLE BIT OF OUR BACKGROUND.
00:01:16.60\00:01:20.58
I COME FROM A
VERY MUSICAL FAMILY.
00:01:20.61\00:01:22.41
FOUR BROTHERS.
00:01:22.44\00:01:24.01
FIVE OF US GREW
UP SINGING TOGETHER.
00:01:24.05\00:01:25.41
THERE ARE ONLY LESS
THAN SIX YEARS BETWEEN THE
00:01:25.45\00:01:28.15
OLDEST AND THE
YOUNGEST SO WE GREW UP ON THE
00:01:28.18\00:01:31.35
FARMLANDS OF
SASKATCHEWAN, CANADA.
00:01:31.39\00:01:33.09
MY DAD WAS A FARMER, A TEACHER.
00:01:33.12\00:01:36.29
BUT WHEN I WAS JUST A
LITTLE SHAVER MY DAD SANG
00:01:36.32\00:01:41.63
BASS WITH THE KING'S
HERALDS QUARTET, THE VOICE
00:01:41.66\00:01:44.43
OF PROPHECY.
00:01:44.47\00:01:45.47
AND HE HAD PROBABLY ONE
OF THE FINEST BASS VOICES.
00:01:45.50\00:01:48.34
I'M PREJUDICED I
KNOW BUT HE REALLY HAD AN
00:01:48.37\00:01:51.81
INCREDIBLE BASS.
00:01:51.84\00:01:52.57
I'VE HEARD HIM.
00:01:52.61\00:01:53.71
I THINK YOU
MIGHT BE RIGHT THERE.
00:01:53.74\00:01:56.41
AND TRAGICALLY HE
DEVELOPED A THROAT CANCER
00:01:56.44\00:02:01.12
GROWTH THEY THOUGHT
WHEN HE WAS SINGING WITH THE
00:02:01.15\00:02:05.45
KING'S HERALDS.
00:02:05.49\00:02:06.45
THIS WAS IN THE DAYS
WHEN THEY WOULD COME AT SIX
00:02:06.49\00:02:08.29
O'CLOCK IN THE
MORNING --------STUDIOS, DO A
00:02:08.32\00:02:11.99
BROADCAST FOR THE EAST
COAST AND THEN COME BACK
00:02:12.03\00:02:13.83
AT NINE AND DO A
WESTCOAST BROADCAST.
00:02:13.86\00:02:15.83
HMS RICHARDS WAS THERE IN
PERSON, HIS WONDERFUL RICH
00:02:15.86\00:02:19.33
VOICE.
00:02:19.37\00:02:20.37
AND SO HE ONLY WAS ABLE
TO DO THAT FOR A YEAR AND A
00:02:20.40\00:02:23.34
HALF AND HE WAS ONE
OF THE MOST DEJECTED,
00:02:23.37\00:02:27.11
DISCOURAGED,
CAMPER AS YOU CAN IMAGINE.
00:02:27.14\00:02:28.98
BECAUSE THIS WAS HIS DREAM.
00:02:29.01\00:02:31.18
YES .
00:02:31.21\00:02:31.85
THIS WAS HIS LOVE.
00:02:31.88\00:02:33.01
SO WE MOVED
BACK TO SASKATCHEWAN.
00:02:33.05\00:02:35.28
WE FARMED AND HE WAS
TEACHING AND HAD FIVE
00:02:35.32\00:02:38.35
LITTLE BOYS AND HE
DECIDED THEY NEEDED TO LEARN HOW
00:02:38.39\00:02:40.22
TO SING.
00:02:40.26\00:02:41.59
MY MOM WAS REALLY A
GREAT MUSICIAN AS WELL.
00:02:41.62\00:02:44.43
AND SO WE DIDN'T HAVE A
PIANO BUT SHE HAD PERFECT
00:02:44.46\00:02:48.73
PITCH SO WE'D BE
DRIVING TO CHURCH OR WHERE EVER
00:02:48.76\00:02:51.77
SPENDING TIME IN THE
HOME WE WOULD LEARN HOW TO
00:02:51.80\00:02:54.74
SING.
00:02:54.77\00:02:55.70
WHEN I WAS THREE YEARS
OLD I WAS SINGING ALTO.
00:02:55.74\00:02:56.60
WHAT THEY CALL FIRST
TENOR BUT IT WAS ALTO.
00:02:56.64\00:03:00.41
YES BUT IT WAS REALLY ALTO.
00:03:00.44\00:03:02.78
AND OVER THE YEARS THEN
IN, I HATE TO TELL YOU BUT
00:03:02.81\00:03:06.21
IT WAS 60 YEARS AGO,
THAT MY DAD GOT A CALL TO GO
00:03:06.25\00:03:10.79
BACK INTO THE
MINISTRY BACK IN NEW ENGLAND.
00:03:10.82\00:03:14.26
SO WE MOVED BACK
TO MASSACHUSETTS.
00:03:14.29\00:03:17.59
MY DAD WAS A
SINGING EVANGELISTS FOR AN
00:03:17.63\00:03:20.26
EVANGELIST THAT PROBABLY
MANY OF YOUR VIEWERS KNOW
00:03:20.30\00:03:22.83
AND THAT WAS GEORGE VANDERMAN.
00:03:22.86\00:03:24.00
AND THROUGH OUR MUSIC
MINISTRY IN OUR FAMILIES
00:03:24.03\00:03:28.97
WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
TRAVEL ALL OVER THE WORLD
00:03:29.00\00:03:31.87
AND IT'S JUST TO LIFT UP
THE NAME OF JESUS THROUGH
00:03:31.91\00:03:35.28
MUSIC, THROUGH PREACHING.
00:03:35.31\00:03:36.28
AND WE STILL HAVE A
FEW YEARS LEFT OF OUR MUSIC
00:03:36.31\00:03:40.08
MINISTRY AND EVEN
THOUGH WE RETIRED TWO OR THREE
00:03:40.12\00:03:43.12
YEARS AGO.
00:03:43.15\00:03:43.72
I'LL BACK UP A LITTLE BIT.
00:03:43.75\00:03:44.72
YES.
00:03:44.75\00:03:45.65
YOU WERE WORKING
WITH ANOTHER ORGANIZATION.
00:03:45.69\00:03:47.92
YES BUT I
STARTED OFF AS A TEACHER.
00:03:47.96\00:03:49.49
I STARTED OFF AS AN
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER.
00:03:49.52\00:03:51.83
I LOVE KIDS AND JUST
HAVE A REAL PASSION TO SEE
00:03:51.86\00:03:55.33
YOUNG PEOPLE MEET JESUS.
00:03:55.36\00:03:58.43
I'D BEEN TEACHING ABOUT
A DOZEN YEARS WHEN I GOT A
00:03:58.47\00:04:01.54
CALL TO JOIN THE
PASTORAL TEAM IN THE OREGON
00:04:01.57\00:04:03.57
CONFERENCE AND DID
REGULAR PASTORAL MINISTRY FOR A
00:04:03.61\00:04:10.11
COUPLE OF YEARS AND
CAME TO THE REALIZATION THAT
00:04:10.15\00:04:13.15
GOD HAD GIVEN ME A GIFT
TO WORK SPECIFICALLY WITH
00:04:13.18\00:04:15.82
YOUNG PEOPLE.
00:04:15.85\00:04:17.12
SO I TOOK A CALL TO BE
A YOUTH PASTOR IN NORTHERN
00:04:17.15\00:04:20.39
CALIFORNIA.
00:04:20.42\00:04:21.42
WE SERVED IN HAWAII AND
THEN, AND I NEED TO PAUSE
00:04:21.46\00:04:25.86
BECAUSE IT WAS THAT
FIRST EXPERIENCE AS A YOUTH
00:04:25.89\00:04:30.13
PASTOR IN SACRAMENTO,
ONE OF MY MENTORS ANOTHER
00:04:30.17\00:04:33.90
YOUTH PASTOR, HAD ASKED
ME, HE SAYS HAVE YOU EVER
00:04:33.94\00:04:35.57
BEEN ON A MISSION TRIP?
00:04:35.60\00:04:36.30
NO.
00:04:36.34\00:04:38.47
OKAY.
00:04:38.51\00:04:40.64
THIS WILL CHANGE YOUR MINISTRY.
00:04:40.68\00:04:42.74
AND WE WENT AND HELPED
BUILD A LITTLE ORPHANAGE
00:04:43.98\00:04:46.72
DOWN IN CENTRAL MEXICO.
00:04:46.75\00:04:48.32
AND I WANT TO TELL YOU
I SAW MORE LIFE CHANGING
00:04:48.35\00:04:54.12
EVIDENCE IN THESE KIDS
IN A WEEK OR WEEK AND A HALF
00:04:54.16\00:04:58.06
ON A MISSION TRIP.
00:04:58.09\00:05:00.30
I MEAN THEY CAME
FACE TO FACE WITH JESUS.
00:05:00.33\00:05:03.73
YES.
00:05:03.77\00:05:04.67
AND I STILL GET
CHOKED UP THINKING ABOUT IT.
00:05:04.70\00:05:08.87
IT WAS AT THAT POINT I
REALIZED OKAY THIS HAS GOT
00:05:08.90\00:05:12.71
TO BE A PART OF MY
MINISTRY FOR THE REST OF
00:05:12.74\00:05:14.81
MY LIFE.
00:05:14.84\00:05:16.91
MY DEAR WIFE, WE HAVE
THREE CHILDREN AND SHE
00:05:16.95\00:05:19.61
WASN'T ABLE TO DO ALL
THOSE MISSION TRIPS WITH
00:05:19.65\00:05:21.42
US.
00:05:21.45\00:05:22.18
DID YOU GET TO
GO ON SOME OF THEM?
00:05:22.22\00:05:23.45
MOST OF THEM.
00:05:23.49\00:05:24.12
OKAY, GOOD.
00:05:24.15\00:05:24.69
I ONLY MISSED A COUPLE.
00:05:24.72\00:05:25.62
JUDY SHARE YOUR
BACKGROUND BECAUSE SHE HAS A
00:05:25.65\00:05:28.39
BACKGROUND IN NURSING.
00:05:28.42\00:05:34.00
SO I WAS A NURSE AND
WHEN WE MOVED AROUND PASTORING
00:05:34.03\00:05:38.37
YOU KNOW I ALWAYS STARTED
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HEAP
00:05:38.40\00:05:41.54
OF NURSING LIKE YOU KNOW
NIGHT JOBS AND THINGS LIKE
00:05:41.57\00:05:45.21
THAT BUT IT WAS
INTERESTING BECAUSE MY
00:05:45.24\00:05:48.31
MOTHER HAD ALWAYS
WANTED TO BE A NURSE.
00:05:48.34\00:05:50.21
I NEVER REALLY HAD A
DESIRE TO BE A NURSE UNTIL
00:05:50.25\00:05:52.35
I GRADUATED AND THEN
DECIDED YOU KNOW WHAT,
00:05:52.38\00:05:55.55
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT
I CAN USE ALL THE TIME.
00:05:55.58\00:05:58.25
AND I WENT TO SEE A FRIEND
OF MINE WHO WAS OUR FAMILY
00:05:58.29\00:06:01.79
PHYSICIAN AT THAT TIME
AND I TALKED TO HIM ABOUT IT.
00:06:01.82\00:06:04.43
I SAID WHAT DO YOU THINK.
00:06:04.46\00:06:05.49
AND HE SAID YOU KNOW
JUDY, GOD CAN ALWAYS USE NURSES
00:06:05.53\00:06:09.26
NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE.
00:06:09.30\00:06:10.90
YOU WILL ALWAYS FIND A
JOB BUT GOD CAN USE NURSES.
00:06:10.93\00:06:14.40
AND YOU KNOW IT WAS
LIKE WORDS THAT ARE SELF
00:06:14.44\00:06:19.24
FULFILLING BECAUSE MY
NURSING BACKGROUND HAS
00:06:19.27\00:06:22.24
JUST BEEN
INVALUABLE IN MISSION PROJECTS.
00:06:22.28\00:06:24.61
MOST OF THE TIME WE TRY
TO TAKE PHYSICIANS WITH US
00:06:24.65\00:06:27.35
BUT THERE WERE TIMES
WHEN THERE WERE NO PHYSICIANS
00:06:27.38\00:06:29.92
AVAILABLE AND IT
WOULD HELP MAKE BEING IN A
00:06:29.95\00:06:36.62
FOREIGN COUNTRY WITH
YOUNG KIDS AND WITH YOUNG PEOPLE
00:06:36.66\00:06:39.69
A BIT EASIER.
00:06:39.73\00:06:42.46
BUT IT WAS SUCH A JOY
JUST TO SEE, JUST TO GET A
00:06:42.50\00:06:45.77
GLIMPSE OF THE YOUNG
PEOPLE WHEN THEY GET A
00:06:45.80\00:06:48.84
GLIMPSE OF HOW GOD CAN USE THEM.
00:06:48.87\00:06:50.77
YES .
00:06:50.81\00:06:51.34
IT'S JUST LIFE CHANGING.
00:06:51.37\00:06:52.81
WELL THIS WAS A GREAT
COMBINATION FOR YOU AND
00:06:52.84\00:06:55.38
YOU SAID YOU KNEW IT
HAD TO BE PART OF YOUR
00:06:55.41\00:06:56.91
MINISTRY SO HOW MANY
MISSION TRIPS HAVE YOU
00:06:56.95\00:06:59.05
TAKEN KIDS ON?
00:06:59.08\00:06:59.91
DO YOU EVEN KNOW?
00:06:59.95\00:07:01.22
WELL WE'VE LOST TRACK
BUT IT'S CLOSE TO 60 AND MOST
00:07:01.25\00:07:05.82
OF THEM HAVE BEEN WITH
HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE
00:07:05.85\00:07:08.12
STUDENTS.
00:07:08.16\00:07:09.09
AND WE GOT SO EXCITED
ABOUT MISSION PROJECTS.
00:07:09.12\00:07:14.10
NOW THIS IS CRAZY.
00:07:14.13\00:07:16.23
I HAD BEEN PASTORING FOR
OH I GUESS MAYBE 28 TO 30
00:07:19.50\00:07:23.64
YEARS IN TEACHING AND
PASTORAL MINISTRY AND OUR
00:07:23.67\00:07:27.54
YOUNGEST SON
JUMPED OUT OF THE NEST.
00:07:27.58\00:07:30.71
HE WAS OFF AND AWAY SO
JUDY AND I LOOKED AT EACH
00:07:30.75\00:07:33.28
OTHER AND WE SAID
NOW WHAT DO WE DO.
00:07:33.31\00:07:37.05
I WAS THE YOUTH PASTOR
IN ONE OF THE CHURCHES IN
00:07:37.09\00:07:39.32
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.
00:07:39.35\00:07:41.42
WE HAD DONE SEVERAL
MISSION PROJECTS WITH AN
00:07:44.09\00:07:46.16
ORGANIZATION THAT
GOSPEL OUTREACH KNOWS.
00:07:46.19\00:07:48.40
IT'S CALLED MARANATHA.
00:07:48.43\00:07:49.46
AND SEVERAL OF THE MISSION
PROJECTS WE DID WITH THEM
00:07:49.50\00:07:53.40
OF COURSE INVOLVED A
LOT OF YOUTH AND WE WERE SO
00:07:53.44\00:07:55.74
IMPRESSED WITH THAT
ORGANIZATION THAT JUDY
00:07:55.77\00:08:01.31
RESIGNED HER POSITION
AS A DIRECTOR IN ONE OF THE
00:08:01.34\00:08:05.25
ASSISTED LIVING
FACILITIES, I TURNED IN MY
00:08:05.28\00:08:08.62
RESIGNATION, WE BOUGHT
A LITTLE MOTORHOME AND WE
00:08:08.65\00:08:12.72
HIT THE ROAD AS
AMBASSADORS FOR MARANATHA.
00:08:12.75\00:08:14.22
AND WE RAISED A LOT OF
MONEY FOR THEIR CHURCHES .
00:08:14.26\00:08:16.66
AND IT WAS A COUPLE OF
YEARS AFTER WE DID THAT
00:08:16.69\00:08:18.03
THAT ONE OF MY
PASTORAL FRIENDS WHO WAS ON THE
00:08:18.06\00:08:19.36
BOARD OF QUIET HOUR
MINISTRIES WHICH IS AN
00:08:19.39\00:08:20.70
ORGANIZATION THAT'S
SUPPORTED A LOT OF GOSPEL
00:08:20.73\00:08:22.00
OUTREACH PROGRAMS.
00:08:22.03\00:08:23.06
ANYWAY THEY INTERVIEWED
US AND SAID WE WANT TO EXPAND
00:08:23.10\00:08:29.04
QUITE HOUR TO
INVOLVE MORE YOUNG PEOPLE.
00:08:29.07\00:08:32.71
YOU KNOW THIS MINISTRY
IS AN AGEING DEMOGRAPHIC SO
00:08:32.74\00:08:37.81
WE ACCEPTED THE POSITION.
00:08:46.72\00:08:47.76
I WAS THE
ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR, ASSOCIATE
00:08:47.79\00:08:49.79
SPEAKER BUT I WAS
THE DIRECTOR OF YOUTH AND
00:08:49.82\00:08:51.46
YOUNG ADULT MINISTRIES.
00:08:51.49\00:08:52.53
THIS IS WHERE WE INVOLVED,
OVER THE 14 YEARS WE WERE
00:08:52.56\00:08:55.96
WITH THEM WE PROBABLY
SAW AT LEAST FIFTEEN HUNDRED
00:08:56.00\00:08:59.80
TO TWO THOUSAND KIDS
COME THROUGH OUR PROGRAM.
00:08:59.83\00:09:03.04
I CERTAINLY HAVE SEEN
A SHIFT OVER THAT TIME IN
00:09:03.07\00:09:06.64
QUIET HOUR AS I
RECEIVED THEIR EMAILS AND
00:09:06.68\00:09:08.81
INFORMATION FROM THEM.
00:09:08.84\00:09:09.81
IT WAS SO MISSION FOCUSED .
00:09:09.84\00:09:12.25
AND WE, YOU KNOW WE SAW
SO MANY KID'S LIVES ETERNALLY
00:09:12.28\00:09:17.49
IMPACTED.
00:09:17.52\00:09:19.05
SO GIVEN THAT LITTLE
BACKGROUND ONE OF THE
00:09:19.09\00:09:21.69
THINGS AT QUIET HOUR THAT
I WAS REALLY INTERESTED IN
00:09:21.72\00:09:24.23
WAS THE FACT THAT I WAS
NOT ONLY A PASTOR, I MEAN
00:09:24.26\00:09:27.46
I LOVE TALKING TO
KIDS, BUT OUR FAMILY MUSIC
00:09:27.50\00:09:31.43
MINISTRY WAS A WAY WE
COULD GET OUT INTO THE
00:09:31.47\00:09:34.80
CHURCHES WHERE WE COULD
DO THE CHURCH SERVICE AND
00:09:34.84\00:09:37.51
THEN HAVE AN
EVENING CONCERT AND BRING AN
00:09:37.54\00:09:39.11
AWARENESS.
00:09:39.14\00:09:40.14
AND THAT'S WHAT WE PLAN
TO DO WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:09:40.18\00:09:42.64
USING MUSIC.
00:09:42.68\00:09:44.31
THERE'S NOTHING LIKE
BRINGING WARM BODIES IN
00:09:44.35\00:09:50.35
FRONT OF WARM BODIES.
00:09:50.39\00:09:51.39
GETTING PEOPLE TOGETHER
SO THEY CAN HEAR ABOUT THE
00:09:51.42\00:09:53.39
VISION.
00:09:53.42\00:09:54.29
YOU KNOW YOU CAN DO
SO MUCH WITH EMAILS AND
00:09:54.32\00:09:56.19

00:10:41.24\00:10:43.84
EVENING IS OUR VERY FIRST
GOSPEL OUTREACH CONCERT IN
00:10:43.87\00:10:47.84
ONE OF THE CHURCHES HERE

SO YOU'RE JUST
EXCITED TO BE ON BOARD.
00:11:01.59\00:11:02.56
WE CALL OUR MUSIC

00:11:04.13\00:11:05.13
WE'RE NOT JUST INTERESTED
IN GOING OUT AND SELLING
00:11:05.16\00:11:06.13
CDS AND DVDS AND THEN
GETTING ENOUGH MONEY TO GO
00:11:06.16\00:11:07.66
TO ANOTHER CONCERT.
00:11:07.66\00:11:09.30
A LOT OF THE PROCEEDS
FROM OUR CONCERTS WILL GO
00:11:09.33\00:11:13.00
DIRECTLY TO GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:11:13.03\00:11:14.57
AND WE'LL JUST SEE
WHERE THE LORD LEADS.
00:11:14.60\00:11:18.64
SO YOU RETIRED
BUT YOU DIDN'T RETIRE.
00:11:18.67\00:11:21.24
YOU RETIRED FROM THE
QUIET HOUR AND FOUND SOMETHING
00:11:21.28\00:11:23.31
ELSE TO DO.
00:11:23.35\00:11:24.31
WE GOT TO A PLACE WHERE
YOU KNOW UNFORTUNATELY I
00:11:24.35\00:11:27.52
FOUND OUT THE HARD
WAY THAT I AM EXTREMELY
00:11:27.55\00:11:32.75
ALLERGIC TO WELL NOT
ONLY BEE BITES BUT I GOT A
00:11:32.79\00:11:36.42
TERRIBLE REACTION IN
HONDURAS JUST HAVING BEEN
00:11:36.46\00:11:40.33
BITTEN BY LITTLE ANTS.
00:11:40.36\00:11:41.46
AND I DIDN'T WANT TO
LEAVE MY GRANDKIDS WITHOUT A
00:11:41.50\00:11:46.94
GRANDPA AND I JUST
THOUGHT, YOU KNOW IT'S
00:11:46.97\00:11:49.37
TIME TO JUST TAKE A BACK SEAT.
00:11:49.40\00:11:51.64
OF COURSE IT CAN
HAPPEN HERE IN THE U.S.
00:11:51.67\00:11:53.94
OR CANADA AS WELL.
00:11:53.98\00:11:54.61
WELL THE BEES COULD.
00:11:54.64\00:11:55.34
OUR ANTS MAY BE A LITTLE TAMER.
00:11:55.38\00:11:56.34
BUT IT WAS YOU KNOW THE
REALISTIC PICTURE WAS WE
00:11:56.38\00:11:57.35
WERE ON THE ROAD SO
MUCH AND YOU GET TO THE PLACE
00:11:57.38\00:11:58.38
WE KNOW WE NEED TO HAND
THAT BATON OFF TO A LITTLE
00:11:58.41\00:12:03.85
YOUNGER GENERATION.
00:12:09.36\00:12:10.39
BUT YOU KNOW WE STILL
HAVE SOME FUEL IN THE TANK AND
00:12:10.43\00:12:12.56
WE SAID YOU KNOW GOD
OPEN THE DOOR, WHERE DO YOU
00:12:12.59\00:12:15.83
WANT US TO BE AND
IT HAPPENED IN A VERY
00:12:15.86\00:12:17.80
WONDERFUL WAY.
00:12:17.83\00:12:18.87
A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE
THAT I WORKED WITH AS A PASTOR
00:12:18.90\00:12:21.57
IN THE OREGON
CONFERENCE, PASTOR KEN CRAWFORD.
00:12:21.60\00:12:24.84
HIS LAST ASSIGNMENT HE
WAS THE PRESIDENT UP IN
00:12:24.87\00:12:26.61
ALASKA.
00:12:26.64\00:12:27.61
AND HE SAID JOEDY,
JUDY, YOU NEED TO TAKE A CLOSE
00:12:27.64\00:12:32.01
LOOK AT GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:12:32.05\00:12:33.52
HE SAID I'M COMING ON
BOARD TO DO SOME PUBLIC
00:12:33.55\00:12:36.55
RELATIONS AND MARKETING
AND WE NEED PEOPLE LIKE
00:12:36.58\00:12:40.89
YOU OUT THERE.
00:12:40.92\00:12:42.89
SO WE PRAYED ABOUT IT AND
WE JUST FELT, HEY, THIS IS
00:12:42.92\00:12:46.63
IT.
00:12:46.66\00:12:47.60
THIS IS WHAT GOD, YOU
KNOW WHEN YOU LOOK AT AN
00:12:47.60\00:12:53.13
ORGANIZATION THAT'S
ALL VOLUNTEERS AND YOU KNOW
00:12:53.17\00:12:56.67
ONE PAGE STAFF PERSON
THAT DOES, I'M THINKING, AND I
00:12:56.71\00:13:00.91
CAN TELL YOU JUST IN THE
FEW HOURS WE'VE BEEN HERE
00:13:00.94\00:13:03.38
IN GOSPEL OUTREACH
THE SPIRIT OF THE PEOPLE.
00:13:03.41\00:13:07.38
AND IF I'M PAID TO DO
SOMETHING YOU KNOW I'VE
00:13:07.42\00:13:10.75
GOT TO BE THERE.
00:13:10.79\00:13:11.79
BUT THESE PEOPLE ARE
HERE BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE
00:13:11.82\00:13:13.52
INVOLVED.
00:13:13.56\00:13:15.69
THE SPIRIT HERE
IS JUST HEAVENLY.
00:13:15.72\00:13:17.86
IT'S TREMENDOUS.
00:13:17.89\00:13:18.66
IT IS.
00:13:18.69\00:13:20.06
I CAN ATTEST TO THAT
TOO HAVING HUNG OUT HERE NOW
00:13:20.10\00:13:22.66
FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS
AND GOTTEN TO EAT MEALS
00:13:22.70\00:13:24.80
THEY'VE OFFERED ME AND
IT'S SURE A GREAT PLACE TO
00:13:24.83\00:13:28.14
BE.
00:13:28.17\00:13:29.04
WELL YOU HAVE THE
INCREDIBLE PRIVILEGE OF
00:13:29.07\00:13:30.01

00:13:33.31\00:13:33.94
I MEAN THEY ARE THE TROOPS.
00:13:33.98\00:13:34.91
I KNOW I'M LEARNING SO
MANY INTERESTING THINGS.
00:13:34.94\00:13:37.08

BEAUTIFUL.... BUT TAKE
A CLOSER LOOK AND YOU CAN
00:13:48.86\00:13:55.13
SEE THE PAIN OF A WORLD
ON A COLLISION COURSE WITH
00:13:55.16\00:13:59.07
ITS OWN GREED.
00:13:59.10\00:14:01.20
HUMANITY...

MORE THAN ONE THIRD OF
THE WORLD'S 7 BILLION PEOPLE
00:14:10.08\00:14:13.48
STILL NEED TO HEAR ABOUT
GOD'S LOVE AND HIS PLAN TO
00:14:13.52\00:14:17.45
SAVE US.
00:14:17.49\00:14:18.19
ONE THIRD.
00:14:18.22\00:14:19.92

INCREDIBLE WORK THIS

WE READ IT AT OUR HOUSE
AND ENJOY SEEING IT COMING
00:15:42.80\00:15:45.07
EVERY MONTH.
00:15:45.11\00:15:46.11
WE WANT TO GET TO KNOW
YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE AS YOU
00:15:46.14\00:15:49.34
ARE COMING ON BOARD
AS AMBASSADORS FOR GOSPEL
00:15:49.38\00:15:51.95
OUTREACH.
00:15:51.98\00:15:52.88
AND JUDY YOU WERE
TALKING EARLIER ABOUT YOUR
00:15:52.91\00:15:54.92
BACKGROUND IN NURSING AND
I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN ON MANY
00:15:54.95\00:15:58.75
MANY MISSION TRIPS.
00:15:58.79\00:15:59.82
TELL US A LITTLE BIT
MORE ABOUT HOW YOU INCORPORATE
00:15:59.85\00:16:03.09
THAT WORK OF YOURS IN
WITH MISSIONS AND THE KIND OF
00:16:03.12\00:16:06.80
BACKGROUND IT BRINGS FOR
YOU AS YOU COME TO GOSPEL
00:16:06.83\00:16:09.06
OUTREACH.
00:16:09.10\00:16:10.30
WELL ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT I'VE REALLY ENJOYED
00:16:10.33\00:16:12.00
DOING ON OUR MISSION
TRIPS IS I OVERSEE, WE DO OUR
00:16:12.03\00:16:14.77
OWN COOKING AND SO I
OVERSEE THE KITCHEN BUT MY
00:16:14.80\00:16:17.27
MAIN FOCUS IS
COORDINATING THE MEDICAL WORK.
00:16:17.31\00:16:21.24
WE USUALLY TAKE
DOCTORS WITH US AND DENTISTS.
00:16:21.28\00:16:26.08
AND IF WE CAN WE
TAKE AN OPHTHALMOLOGIST.
00:16:26.11\00:16:28.35
HOWEVER, OPHTHALMOLOGISTS
ARE NOT EASY TO COME BY.
00:16:28.38\00:16:31.29
AND SO I WENT TO THE
LIONS CLUB AND WENT THROUGH SOME
00:16:31.32\00:16:36.69
SPECIAL TRAINING TO BE
ABLE TO FIT AND EVALUATE
00:16:36.73\00:16:39.96
PEOPLE'S NEEDS FOR GLASSES.
00:16:40.00\00:16:41.73
THE LIONS CLUB HAS BEEN
A WONDERFUL ORGANIZATION TO
00:16:41.76\00:16:44.40
SUPPLY US WITH ABOUT TWO
THOUSAND PAIRS OF GLASSES
00:16:44.43\00:16:46.84
FOR MISSION PROJECTS THAT WE DO.
00:16:46.87\00:16:48.17
AND WHAT THEY DO IS THEY
COME TO US ALREADY TAGGED
00:16:48.20\00:16:52.54
WITH THE PRESCRIPTION
ON THEM SO IT'S UP TO US TO
00:16:52.57\00:16:57.28
EVALUATE WHAT THE
PRESCRIPTION NEEDS ARE.
00:16:57.31\00:16:59.55
AND SO WE DO EYE TESTS
ON THE PEOPLE AND EVALUATE
00:16:59.58\00:17:03.25
THEIR NEEDS AND THEN
FIT THEM FOR GLASSES.
00:17:03.28\00:17:05.89
LET ME JUST
INTERRUPT HERE FOR A SECOND.
00:17:05.92\00:17:07.92
IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT TO KNOW ONE OF THE
00:17:07.96\00:17:09.99
STRATEGIES, YOU
KNOW CHRIST'S METHOD OF
00:17:10.03\00:17:12.26
EVANGELISM HE
DIDN'T JUST SAY FOLLOW ME.
00:17:12.29\00:17:14.83
NO HE SAW WHAT PEOPLE NEEDED.
00:17:14.83\00:17:16.80
NEEDED, YES.
00:17:16.83\00:17:17.80
HE SAW THEIR NEED, WON
THEIR CONFIDENCE AND THEN
00:17:17.83\00:17:20.80
HE SAID FOLLOW ME.
00:17:20.84\00:17:21.74
THAT'S ONE OF THE
WAYS THAT IN THESE MISSION
00:17:21.77\00:17:24.04
PROJECTS WE GET
PEOPLE, WIN THEIR CONFIDENCE AS
00:17:24.07\00:17:27.34
THEY SEE WE'RE INTERESTED
IN THEIR PHYSICAL NEEDS.
00:17:27.38\00:17:30.18
AND SO THESE EYE CLINICS
THEY'RE OUT IN THE MIDDLE
00:17:30.21\00:17:32.11
OF THE BUSH.
00:17:32.15\00:17:33.75
UNDER MANGO TREES.
00:17:33.78\00:17:34.75
PEOPLE HAVE COME, YOU
KNOW THREE OR FOUR HOURS.
00:17:34.78\00:17:36.82
I'M IMAGINING THAT SOME
OF THEM DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT
00:17:36.85\00:17:38.52
THEY COULDN'T SEE WELL
OR THAT THERE WAS A WAY THAT
00:17:38.55\00:17:40.26
THEY COULD.
00:17:40.29\00:17:40.92
YES.
00:17:40.96\00:17:41.69
THIS IS WHAT SHE
IS GOING TO SHARE.
00:17:41.72\00:17:42.92
EXACTLY.
00:17:42.96\00:17:43.93
AND SO MOST OF THE
PEOPLE THAT WE SEE HAVE NEVER
00:17:43.96\00:17:45.93
SEEN AN EYE
DOCTOR IN THEIR LIFE.
00:17:45.96\00:17:47.86
THEY'VE NEVER HAD
THEIR EYES TESTED.
00:17:47.93\00:17:49.53
AND FOR THEM TO BE
ABLE TO GET GLASSES.
00:17:49.56\00:17:52.33
YOU KNOW FOR CHILDREN BUT
PARTICULARLY A LOT OF WHAT
00:17:52.37\00:17:57.07
WE SEE IS ELDERLY AND
SOME OF THEM YOU KNOW HAVE LOST
00:17:57.11\00:18:00.94
THE ABILITY TO READ.
00:18:00.98\00:18:03.31
YOU KNOW THEY CAN READ
AND IT IS JUST ABSOLUTELY
00:18:03.35\00:18:06.68
THRILLING TO SEE WHEN
YOU PUT A PAIR OF GLASSES ON
00:18:06.72\00:18:09.32
AND THEY CAN SEE AND
READ THEY START CRYING.
00:18:09.35\00:18:13.19
THEY LITERALLY
JUST START WEEPING.
00:18:13.22\00:18:15.26
AND THEN WHAT WE HEAR
OVER AND OVER AGAIN IS I JUST
00:18:15.29\00:18:18.63
WANTED TO BE
ABLE TO READ MY BIBLE.
00:18:18.66\00:18:20.13
CAN YOU IMAGINE.
00:18:20.16\00:18:22.10
JUST SOMETHING SO
SIMPLE BUT YET, AND THAT OPENS
00:18:22.13\00:18:26.53
THEIR EYES LITERALLY
TO WHERE WE CAN EXTEND THE
00:18:26.57\00:18:29.47
INVITATION TO
COME TO OUR MEETING.
00:18:29.50\00:18:30.97
WE'RE HAVING MEETING.
00:18:31.01\00:18:31.97
YOU SEE IT'S ONE THING
TO HAVE PHYSICAL EYESIGHT
00:18:32.01\00:18:35.11
DAMAGE BUT IT'S AN EASY
TRANSITION TO SAY YOU KNOW
00:18:35.14\00:18:40.08
WE'VE HELPED YOU WITH
YOUR PHYSICAL EYESIGHT BUT HOW
00:18:40.12\00:18:41.98
ABOUT YOUR SPIRITUAL EYESIGHT.
00:18:42.02\00:18:43.45
YES.
00:18:43.49\00:18:44.15
DOES IT NEED HELP?
00:18:44.19\00:18:45.59
YES.
00:18:45.62\00:18:46.59
NOW I KNOW WE JUST HAVE
A FEW MINUTES LEFT BUT I
00:18:46.62\00:18:48.62
WANT JUDY TO TELL ONE
OF THE MIRACLE STORIES THAT
00:18:48.66\00:18:51.99
JUST THRILLS MY HEART
ABOUT HOW GOD USED THE EYE
00:18:52.03\00:18:54.50
CLINIC.
00:18:54.56\00:18:55.56
THIS ONE LITTLE GIRL
THAT CAME WAS JUST, I MEAN SHE
00:18:55.60\00:18:58.23
HAD A TERRIBLE DISABILITY.
00:18:58.27\00:19:00.80
I THINK WE HAVE TIME FOR IT.
00:19:00.84\00:19:01.74
THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
00:19:01.77\00:19:02.74
SO WE WENT THROUGH THE
EYE CHART WITH HER AND YOU
00:19:02.77\00:19:04.87
KNOW THE DISTANCE
THERE'S THE BIG "E".
00:19:04.91\00:19:06.81
YES.
00:19:06.84\00:19:07.74
OKAY, SO YOU KNOW
THIS LITTLE GIRL WAS IN THE
00:19:07.78\00:19:09.94
THIRD GRADE.
00:19:09.98\00:19:10.88
IT WAS IN A SPANISH
SPEAKING COUNTRY AND HER
00:19:10.91\00:19:13.28
MOM BROUGHT HER.
00:19:13.31\00:19:14.28
WE HAD SEEN A NUMBER
OF SCHOOL CHILDREN BUT HER
00:19:14.32\00:19:16.79
MOTHER BROUGHT HER IN THAT DAY.
00:19:16.82\00:19:18.69
AND BEFORE WE START ALL
OF OUR CLINICS WE ALWAYS HAVE
00:19:18.72\00:19:21.66
PRAYER AND ASK GOD TO
BLESS US AND TO HELP US TO
00:19:21.69\00:19:24.66
BE ABLE TO FIND AND
TO HELP THESE PEOPLE.
00:19:24.69\00:19:27.40
SO THIS LITTLE GIRL CAME
IN, LOOKED OUT AT THE, YOU
00:19:27.46\00:19:30.50
KNOW, THE CHART AND
COULDN'T SEE THE BIG "E".
00:19:30.53\00:19:32.53
THEN I GAVE HER A
LITTLE PIECE OF PAPER WITH SOME
00:19:32.57\00:19:35.54
SPANISH, YOU KNOW, LIKE A
NEWSPAPER WHERE SHE SHOULD
00:19:35.57\00:19:38.31
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO READ
THE SIMPLE PRINT IN THERE.
00:19:38.34\00:19:41.21
SHE COULDN'T READ ANY OF THAT.
00:19:41.24\00:19:42.94
AND SO THROUGH AN
INTERPRETER I TALKED TO
00:19:42.98\00:19:44.81
THE MOTHER AND SHE SAID
THAT NO SHE CAN'T SEE THE
00:19:44.85\00:19:47.25
BLACKBOARD AND SHE CAN'T
SEE ANYTHING THAT IS GIVEN
00:19:47.28\00:19:49.82
TO HER TO READ AND SO
SHE IS REALLY HAVING PROBLEMS
00:19:49.85\00:19:52.95
.
00:19:52.99\00:19:53.92
SO I STARTED LOOKING
FOR GLASSES THAT WOULD FIT
00:19:53.96\00:19:54.96
HER.
00:19:54.99\00:19:55.92
NOW MIND YOU, WE DON'T
GET A LOT OF CHILDREN'S
00:19:55.96\00:19:56.96
GLASSES ANYWAY.
00:19:56.99\00:19:57.96
BUT I STARTED LOOKING
FOR WHERE HER PRESCRIPTION
00:19:57.99\00:19:58.96
OUGHT TO BE AND STARTED
LOOKING THROUGH THE BAG.
00:19:58.99\00:20:00.30
THERE WAS NOTHING
THERE THAT WOULD YOU KNOW.
00:20:00.33\00:20:01.63
IT WOULD BE PRETTY EXTREME.
00:20:01.66\00:20:02.63
PRETTY EXTREME TO BE
ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE BOTH OF
00:20:02.66\00:20:08.74
THESE NEEDS .
00:20:08.77\00:20:12.04
I THOUGHT OKAY IF I
COULD JUST GET HER SOMETHING TO
00:20:12.07\00:20:16.91
READ CLOSE UP THAT
WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL FOR HER
00:20:16.95\00:20:19.85
FOR HER EDUCATION.
00:20:19.88\00:20:21.42
WELL WE LOOKED AND
LOOKED AND WE TRIED ON A NUMBER
00:20:21.45\00:20:25.02
OF PAIRS OF GLASSES.
00:20:25.05\00:20:26.02
I THOUGHT OKAY I'M
GOING TO GO TO A LITTLE LOWER
00:20:26.05\00:20:28.16
PRESCRIPTION TO
SEE IF THAT WILL HELP.
00:20:28.19\00:20:29.82
NOTHING.
00:20:29.86\00:20:30.66
A HIGHER PRESCRIPTION.
00:20:30.69\00:20:31.63
NOTHING HELPED.
00:20:31.66\00:20:32.93
YOU KNOW THE STAFF
WAS HELPING ME AND WE WERE
00:20:32.96\00:20:35.30
GETTING KIND OF
DISCOURAGED TRUTHFULLY
00:20:35.33\00:20:37.10
BECAUSE WE REALLY REALLY
WANTED TO HELP THIS LITTLE
00:20:37.13\00:20:40.37
GIRL.
00:20:40.40\00:20:41.37
WELL I SAID TO THEM I
SAID LET'S JUST STOP FOR A
00:20:41.40\00:20:43.04
MINUTE AND LET'S
JUST HAVE PRAYER AGAIN.
00:20:43.07\00:20:45.11
AND WE JUST STOPPED
AND THREE OR FOUR OF US GOT
00:20:45.14\00:20:49.41
TOGETHER AND WE JUST
BOWED OUR HEADS AND SAID LORD
00:20:49.44\00:20:53.01
YOU KNOW OUR SITUATION,
WE WANT TO HELP HER BUT
00:20:53.05\00:20:56.69
UNLESS YOU SHOW US
AND HELP US FIND THE RIGHT
00:20:56.72\00:20:59.52
GLASSES WE'RE NOT
GOING TO BE ABLE TO.
00:20:59.55\00:21:01.16
WOULD YOU PLEASE
INTERVENE ON HER BEHALF.
00:21:01.19\00:21:03.06
SO I WENT BACK TO THE
BAG THAT I ORIGINALLY STARTED
00:21:03.09\00:21:08.13
WITH AND I OPENED THE BAG
THERE BECAUSE WE KEEP THEM
00:21:12.10\00:21:14.57
IN ZIPLOC BAGS SO THAT
THEY DON'T GET DAMAGED AND
00:21:14.60\00:21:19.81
DIRTY AND EVERYTHING.
00:21:19.84\00:21:21.51
OPENED THE BAG AND
SITTING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ALL OF
00:21:21.54\00:21:25.31
THE GLASSES WAS A
LITTLE PAIR OF GIRLS CHILDREN'S
00:21:25.35\00:21:29.95
GLASSES.
00:21:29.98\00:21:30.62
WE PUT THEM ON HER.
00:21:30.65\00:21:32.85
SHE COULD SEE THE BIG "E".
00:21:32.89\00:21:34.49
SHE COULD READ.
00:21:34.52\00:21:36.32
IT WAS JUST A MIRACLE.
00:21:36.36\00:21:37.29
AND THEN SHE STARTED
SHOUTING TO HER MOM, LOOK
00:21:37.33\00:21:39.36
AT, LOOK AT THE BIRD AND
THE LEAVES AND THE TREES,
00:21:39.39\00:21:44.33
IN SPANISH YES.
00:21:44.37\00:21:45.67
OH IT WAS SO THRILLING.
00:21:45.70\00:21:46.70
AND YOU KNOW I KNOW FOR
A FACT THAT THOSE GLASSES
00:21:46.74\00:21:48.97
WERE NOT THERE.
00:21:49.00\00:21:49.64
I OPENED THAT BAG.
00:21:49.67\00:21:50.34
I LOOKED AND LOOKED AND LOOKED.
00:21:50.37\00:21:52.04
IT WAS JUST GOD INTERVENING.
00:21:52.07\00:21:55.54
HE JUST PUT THEM THERE.
00:21:55.58\00:21:56.61
AND THAT GIRL AND HER MOM
THEY CAME TO THE MEETINGS,
00:21:56.64\00:22:00.12
OUR EVANGELISTIC
MEETINGS, AND THE LADY THAT WAS
00:22:00.15\00:22:06.89
HELPING HER SHE CAME
AND BROUGHT HER MOM AND OF
00:22:06.92\00:22:08.26
COURSE I DON'T SPEAK
SPANISH BUT OH THE GIRL
00:22:08.29\00:22:10.66
WAS SO EXCITED.
00:22:10.69\00:22:11.69
WE DON'T KNOW THE REST
OF THE STORY ONLY IN HEAVEN
00:22:11.73\00:22:14.00
WILL WE KNOW, BUT THOSE
ARE THE KINDS OF THINGS.
00:22:14.00\00:22:16.40
CAN YOU IMAGINE IF
YOU ARE A TEENAGER AND YOU
00:22:16.43\00:22:20.54
EXPERIENCE THAT.
00:22:20.57\00:22:23.67
YOUR FAITH IS GOING TO
BE GET RATCHETED WAY UP.
00:22:23.71\00:22:26.47
GOD IS REAL AND HE CARES.
00:22:26.51\00:22:29.11
AND HE CARES.
00:22:29.14\00:22:30.15
HE CARES ABOUT THE
SIMPLE LITTLE THINGS AND WE CAN
00:22:30.18\00:22:32.81
GO TO HIM WITH THE
SIMPLEST PRAYER AND
00:22:32.85\00:22:34.95
REQUEST AND HE IS
THERE TO HEAR AND TO ANSWER.
00:22:34.98\00:22:38.25
IT IS INCREDIBLE REALLY.
00:22:38.29\00:22:39.89
SO FAITHFUL.
00:22:39.92\00:22:40.96
EVEN THOUGH IT'S GOING TO
BE THIRD HAND I'M GOING TO
00:22:40.99\00:22:42.66
BE SHARING THIS STORY
WITH MY CHILDREN AS SOON AS I
00:22:42.69\00:22:44.66
SEE THEM.
00:22:44.69\00:22:45.69
OH BLESS YOUR HEART.
00:22:45.73\00:22:46.73
AND WE COULD MULTIPLY
THAT STORY OVER AND OVER AND
00:22:46.76\00:22:50.90
OVER AGAIN.
00:22:50.93\00:22:51.87
AND SO THIS IS YOU
KNOW BRINGING IT BACK NOWTO
00:22:51.90\00:22:53.87
GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:22:53.90\00:22:55.14
THERE IS A STORY TO
TELL TO THE NATIONS.
00:22:55.17\00:23:01.34
TO QUOTE A SONG.
00:23:01.38\00:23:02.28
YES.
00:23:02.31\00:23:03.04
AND GOD CAN USE
US IN ANY CAPACITY.
00:23:03.08\00:23:07.88
I'M SURE THAT
YOU'LL PROBABLY DO THIS
00:23:07.92\00:23:09.68
INDIRECTLY BUT YOU KNOW
IF THERE ARE ANY OF YOUR
00:23:09.72\00:23:11.45
VIEWING AUDIENCE
THAT IS IN A CHURCH, IN A
00:23:11.49\00:23:14.16
COMMUNITY GROUP THAT
YOU WOULD LIKE TO GET THE
00:23:14.19\00:23:19.03
MELASHENKOS TO COME AND
DO A CONCERT AND TO SHARE OUR
00:23:19.06\00:23:21.66
STORY WE'D LOVE TO
ACCEPT THAT INVITATION IF WE
00:23:21.70\00:23:24.93
COULD MAKE IT WORK.
00:23:24.97\00:23:25.77
YES.
00:23:25.80\00:23:26.84
AND I'D LIKE TO SAY
WE'VE BEEN LISTENING TO SOME OF
00:23:26.87\00:23:28.97
THE REPORTS THAT
ARE COMING IN FROM THE
00:23:29.00\00:23:31.41
DIFFERENT PLACES
IN THE 10/40 WINDOW.
00:23:31.44\00:23:33.24
IT IS INCREDIBLE
WHAT'S HAPPENING.
00:23:33.27\00:23:35.58
YES IT IS.
00:23:35.61\00:23:36.51
IT REALLY IS AND
THOSE ARE THINGS THAT IN OUR
00:23:36.54\00:23:38.08
CHURCHES WE
DON'T HEAR ABOUT THAT.
00:23:38.11\00:23:39.45
WE NEED TO HEAR THAT STORY.
00:23:39.48\00:23:40.62
RIGHT.
00:23:40.65\00:23:41.65
AND IN ANY WAY THAT WE
CAN HELP AND THAT'S WHAT YOU
00:23:41.68\00:23:42.85
WANT TO DO.
00:23:42.88\00:23:43.52
THAT'S EXACTLY.
00:23:43.55\00:23:44.52
TO HELP CATCH PEOPLE'S
ATTENTION SO THEY CAN HEAR
00:23:44.55\00:23:45.82
THE AMAZING
THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON.
00:23:45.85\00:23:47.16
IT IS.
00:23:47.19\00:23:47.86
GOD IS WORKING IN AMAZING WAYS.
00:23:47.89\00:23:49.49
IN THE INTERVIEWS THAT
I'VE DONE OVER THE LAST
00:23:49.52\00:23:52.06
COUPLE OF DAYS HERE
THAT HAS CERTAINLY BEEN MY
00:23:52.09\00:23:54.56
EXPERIENCE.
00:23:54.60\00:23:55.53
I'M GOING AWAY FROM IT
JUST SAYING WOW, GOD IS
00:23:55.56\00:23:57.83
REALLY ACTIVE AND
HE IS DOING A LOT.
00:23:57.87\00:24:00.20
JUST BECAUSE I DIDN'T
KNOW ABOUT IT DOESN'T MEAN IT
00:24:00.24\00:24:02.94
WAS NOT JUST
HAPPENING IN A BIG WAY.
00:24:02.97\00:24:05.17
EXACTLY.
00:24:05.21\00:24:06.17
WELL YOU KNOW THE
GREAT GOSPEL COMMISSION WHICH
00:24:06.21\00:24:08.98
I'VE ALWAYS USED THAT
ONE WORD "GO" AND THAT'S WHAT
00:24:09.01\00:24:12.05
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS ALL ABOUT.
00:24:12.08\00:24:14.32
THERE'S A PART OF THAT
COMMISSION THAT IS PRETTY
00:24:14.35\00:24:17.52
SPECIFIC.
00:24:17.55\00:24:19.52
THIS GOSPEL OF THE
KINGDOM SHALL BE PREACHED IN THE
00:24:19.55\00:24:22.59
WHOLE WORLD AS A
WITNESS UNTO ALL NATIONS.
00:24:22.62\00:24:24.86
YOU KNOW THE LORD COULD
VERY SUPERNATURALLY SAY,
00:24:24.89\00:24:26.86
YOU KNOW, I'M
GOING TO TAKE OVER HERE.
00:24:26.90\00:24:28.43
I'M GOING TO SEND
HEAVENLY AMBASSADORS.
00:24:28.46\00:24:30.43
WHO DOES THE PREACHING?
00:24:30.47\00:24:31.73
WHO DOES THE SHARING?
00:24:31.77\00:24:32.40
THE PEOPLE.
00:24:32.43\00:24:33.07
IT'S US.
00:24:33.10\00:24:33.97
IT'S THE GREATEST
PRIVILEGE GOD HAS GIVEN
00:24:34.00\00:24:37.41
US.
00:24:37.44\00:24:38.14
INCREDIBLE.
00:24:38.17\00:24:39.14
AND WHEN YOU GET, AND I
KNOW NOW I'M SPEAKING TO
00:24:39.17\00:24:43.04
MY NORTH AMERICAN
AUDIENCE, BUT WHEN YOU GET
00:24:43.08\00:24:45.38
PEOPLE FROM THIS
CULTURE THAT HAVE WAY TO MUCH
00:24:47.38\00:24:50.82
STUFF, WE'RE WAY TO
SPOILED AND YOU TAKE THEM
00:24:50.85\00:24:53.62
OUT OF THAT COMFORT
ZONE AND THEY EXPERIENCE FOR
00:24:53.66\00:24:58.13
THEMSELVES WHAT IT
MEANS TO MINISTER TO THE LEAST
00:24:58.16\00:25:03.40
OF THESE, YOU'LL
NEVER BE THE SAME.
00:25:03.43\00:25:06.03
AND I KNOW MOST OF US
CAN'T GO INTO THE 10/40
00:25:06.07\00:25:08.80
WINDOW BUT WE CAN
CERTAINLY GET SECOND HAND
00:25:08.84\00:25:12.44
THROUGH THE TELEVISION
SHOW THAT YOU PRODUCE OR
00:25:12.47\00:25:16.28
OTHER OPPORTUNITIES
WHERE WE SEE HOW GOD IS WORKING
00:25:16.31\00:25:18.91
IN THOSE COMMUNITIES.
00:25:18.95\00:25:19.95
I KNOW WHEN I WAS
SITTING AND LISTENING TO SOME OF
00:25:19.98\00:25:21.58
THE REPORTS THIS MORNING
I THOUGHT YOU KNOW I'D LOVE
00:25:21.62\00:25:24.92
TO GO TO THAT COMMUNITY
THERE WHERE EVER IT WAS
00:25:24.95\00:25:26.65
AND YOU KNOW RAISE MONEY
TO PUT UP A LITTLE CHURCH
00:25:26.69\00:25:30.89
YOU KNOW.
00:25:30.93\00:25:31.56
YES.
00:25:31.59\00:25:32.59
AND THOSE ARE THE KINDS
OF THINGS THAT PEOPLE GET
00:25:32.63\00:25:33.66
EXCITED ABOUT.
00:25:33.70\00:25:34.60
ONE OF THE REPORTS I
WAS INTERVIEWING I WAS SO
00:25:34.63\00:25:37.40
MOVED BY HOW MUCH $150
DOLLARS A MONTH CAN DO.
00:25:37.43\00:25:40.04
YES.
00:25:40.07\00:25:41.07
YOU KNOW ANOTHER STORY
I'M GOING HOME WITH TONIGHT
00:25:41.10\00:25:45.14
IS, YOU KNOW TO MY
HUSBAND, IS WE GOT TO DO
00:25:45.17\00:25:47.14
THIS.
00:25:47.18\00:25:48.11
YOU KNOW WE HAVE TO
PROVIDE A WORKER IN A PART
00:25:48.14\00:25:49.54
OF THE WORLD WHERE THEY
CAN'T EVEN TALK ABOUT WHAT
00:25:49.58\00:25:53.25
THEIR DOING BECAUSE OF
THE SENSITIVITIES POLITICALLY
00:25:53.28\00:25:55.98
BUT WHERE
INCREDIBLE THINGS HAPPEN.
00:25:56.02\00:25:58.55
BUT IT GIVES YOU A LITTLE
PICTURE OF HOW GOD CAN USE
00:25:58.59\00:26:00.82
ABSOLUTELY EVERY SINGLE
ONE OF US WHETHER WE CAN
00:26:00.86\00:26:03.06
GO TO THOSE FIELDS
OR NOT WE CAN HELP.
00:26:03.09\00:26:05.66
WE HAVE A PART.
00:26:05.69\00:26:06.33
YES.
00:26:06.36\00:26:07.00
WE CAN YES.
00:26:07.03\00:26:07.93
AND IT IS AN EXCITING
PRIVILEGE WHICH WE ARE
00:26:07.96\00:26:11.07
SHARING WITH YOU.
00:26:11.10\00:26:12.07
THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY
TO GIVE SOMETHING RIGHT
00:26:12.10\00:26:15.84
NOW TO HELP
WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:26:15.87\00:26:17.37
YOU HEAR THE MELASHENKOS
ENTHUSIASM ABOUT IT AND
00:26:17.41\00:26:20.51
I'VE BEEN, I GUESS
YOU'D SAY KIND OF LOOSELY
00:26:20.54\00:26:23.24
CONNECTED WITH GOSPEL
OUTREACH FOR A NUMBER OF
00:26:23.28\00:26:25.25
YEARS AND HAVING
THE PRIVILEGE OF DOING
00:26:25.28\00:26:28.22
INTERVIEWING HERE
AND LEARNING EVEN MORE
00:26:28.25\00:26:30.09
INTIMATELY ABOUT
THE STORIES THAT ARE
00:26:30.12\00:26:31.45
HAPPENING, IT'S
JUST VERY INSPIRING.
00:26:31.49\00:26:33.59
AMEN.
00:26:33.62\00:26:35.12
YES IT IS.
00:26:35.16\00:26:36.16
SO I ENCOURAGE YOU TO
USE THE CONTACT INFORMATION
00:26:36.19\00:26:39.23
THAT YOU SEE ON YOUR SCREEN.
00:26:39.26\00:26:40.86
REACH OUT.
00:26:40.90\00:26:42.10
FIND SOMETHING THAT YOU
CAN GIVE PER MONTH OR THAT
00:26:42.13\00:26:44.73
YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO
GIVE PER YEAR TO SUPPORT THE
00:26:44.77\00:26:47.74
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS
AND THE INCREDIBLE THINGS
00:26:47.77\00:26:50.54
THAT THEY ARE DOING AND
THAT THEY ARE NOT DOING ON
00:26:50.57\00:26:52.81
