THE AREA OF THE WORLD, THE 10/40 WINDOW 00:46 FROM 10 TO 40 DEGREES NORTH OF THE EQUATOR THAT 00:48 HAS ALMOST 70 COUNTRIES IN THIS RECTANGLE OF THE 00:52 WORLD. 00:53 AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT HERE TO US AT GOSPEL 00:54 OUTREACH BECAUSE THAT IS THE AREA OF THE WORLD 00:57 WHERE WE ARE CONCENTRATING ON, WHERE WE ARE SHARING 01:00 THE LOVE OF JESUS. 01:02 AND IN MARK IT TELLS US, JESUS SAID TO GO AND TO 01:05 TELL AND JOHN DUROE YOU ARE HERE WITH US HERE AT 01:08 ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS AND THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL 01:10 ABOUT. 01:11 TO GO AND SHARE THE LOVE OF JESUS. 01:13 THAT'S RIGHT. 01:14 AND I GO TO BANGLADESH EVERY YEAR. 01:18 AND BANGLADESH IS RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO INDIA. 01:22 AND I ALSO GO TO ONE OF THE SMALLEST STATES IN 01:27 INDIA, THE THIRD SMALLEST STATE CALLED TRIPURA. 01:30 AND THAT'S SURROUNDED BY BANGLADESH ON THREE SIDES 01:34 SO VERY CLOSE. 01:36 AND THE OUTFIT YOU'RE WEARING HERE TODAY JOHN 01:38 WHERE IS THIS FROM? 01:39 THIS IS FROM TRIPURA AND THESE ITEMS HAVE BEEN 01:43 GIVEN TO ME AS VARIOUS GIFTS ON MY VISITS THERE. 01:48 SO YOU'RE WEARING SPECIAL THINGS REMINDING YOU OF 01:50 SPECIAL PEOPLE THAT YOU HAVE MET. 01:52 YES. 01:53 EXCEPT MY HAT ACTUALLY IS FROM BANGLADESH. 01:58 WELL THERE YOU HAVE IT. 01:59 YOU HAVE A LITTLE UNITED NATIONS HERE FROM THAT 02:01 AREA OF THE WORLD. 02:02 THAT'S RIGHT. 02:03 SO TELL US JOHN ABOUT THIS AREA OF TRIPURA. 02:07 GIVE US AN IDEA OF WHO THE PEOPLE ARE AND SOME OF 02:11 YOUR STORIES FROM THAT AREA. 02:13 TRIPURA IS SURROUNDED BY BANGLADESH SO LOTS OF THE 02:17 PEOPLE FROM BANGLADESH SEEP OVER THE BORDER SO 02:22 THE CULTURE IS VERY SIMILAR IN TRIPURA TO WHAT 02:27 IT IS IN BANGLADESH. 02:29 BUT IT'S A VERY UNDER DEVELOPED PART OF INDIA. 02:33 LOTS OF MOUNTAINS, LOTS OF TREES. 02:40 AND ABOUT HOW MANY GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS DO WE 02:41 HAVE THERE? 02:42 WE HAVE 20. 02:43 TWENTY, TWENTY. 02:45 YES. 02:46 AND TWENTY COMPARED TO HOW MANY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE 02:49 WHO LIVE THERE? 02:50 WELL ACTUALLY THERE ARE ONLY THREE MILLION PEOPLE, 02:53 ONLY THREE MILLION PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN TRIPURA BUT 02:56 IT IS SPARSELY POPULATED COMPARED WITH MANY OF THE 02:59 OTHER STATES IN INDIA. 03:01 AND YOU HAVE SOME REPORTS TO SHARE WITH US AND SOME 03:04 EXCITING VIDEOS AND YOU DO SUCH A GREAT JOB WITH 03:06 THOSE. 03:07 WHILE I WAS THERE, WHILE I WAS THERE IT WAS THE 03:09 REPUBLIC DAY CELEBRATING THE TIME WHEN THEY BROKE 03:15 AWAY FROM THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH AND SO I WENT 03:19 ALONG EARLY ONE MORNING AND WATCHED THEM ALL 03:22 PREPARING FOR THEIR REPUBLIC DAY PARADE. 03:26 SO LET'S HAVE A LOOK AND SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING 03:28 THERE. 03:30 JANUARY 26 WAS THE SIXTY-NINTH INDIAN 03:35 REPUBLIC DAY. 03:36 THE FLAG WAS RAISED IN AGARTALA THE CAPITAL OF 03:39 TRIPURA AND THEY CELEBRATED THE DECLARATION 03:43 OF INDIAN INDEPENDENCE FROM BRITISH RULE. 03:48 I WAS UP EARLY TO JOIN IN THE EXCITEMENT. 03:51 I WAS FOUR YEARS OLD WHEN THE FIRST REPUBLIC DAY WAS 03:54 CELEBRATED. 03:56 SO MANY PEOPLE WERE HERE TODAY TO JOIN IN THE 03:59 PARADE. 04:00 SOLDIERS, SCHOOL CHILDREN AND DANCES. 04:03 SO COLORFUL AND THE WEATHER WAS PERFECT. 04:06 THE TRIPURA GOVERNOR WAS THE HONORED GUEST BUT THE 04:10 CROWD WANTED TO SEE THE PARADE. 04:14 WE TRIED TO AVOID THE BUSY TRAFFIC THAT DAY ON THE 04:17 WAY TO TWIBAKLAI VILLAGE BUT IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE. 04:21 EVENTUALLY WE GOT STUCK AND THIS WAS THE REASON. 04:27 ALL THE LOCAL SCHOOLS WERE JOINING TOGETHER TO PUT ON 04:31 A PROGRAM. 04:32 EVERYONE WAS DRESSED FOR THE OCCASION. 04:35 ALL THE MARCHING BANDS WERE KEEPING RHYTHM. 04:38 NOBODY CARED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC OR THE FACT THAT 04:41 WE WERE TRYING TO GET TO TWIBAKLAI VILLAGE. 04:44 NOW WE WERE HERE IN TWIBAKLAI VILLAGE TO 04:48 CELEBRATE A NEW START. 04:50 WE WERE HERE FOR THE BAPTISM OF ELEVEN NEW 04:55 BELIEVERS IN THIS ONCE HINDU VILLAGE. 04:58 BIPOLA, ONE OF OUR TRIPURA GOSPEL OUTREACH 05:04 VOLUNTEERS, JOINED WITH ANOTHER FEMALE WORKER 05:08 DEVIKA FOR EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS. 05:11 BIPOLA LIVES IN A VILLAGE WHICH IS FOUR MILES AWAY. 05:18 SHE MET SOMEONE FROM THIS VILLAGE IN THE MARKET. 05:21 THEY TALKED TOGETHER AND BIPOLA WAS INVITED TO COME 05:25 HERE AND SHARE SOME GOOD NEWS WITH THIS VILLAGE. 05:30 SHE INVITED DEVIKA TO JOIN HERE IN VISITING AND THEY 05:34 WERE BOTH INVITED TO HOLD SOME MEETINGS IN THE 05:36 VILLAGE. 05:37 THEIR HUSBANDS JOINED IN TOGETHER WITH THE LOCAL 05:41 PASTOR. 05:42 THE MEETINGS WERE VERY SUCCESSFUL AND NOW ALMOST 05:46 EVERY FAMILY IN THE VILLAGE HAS TAKEN A STAND 05:49 FOR JESUS. 05:51 THE HEALTH OF THE VILLAGE HAS IMPROVED AND THEY ALL 05:55 TAKE A REST ON SABBATH. 05:58 AFTER LISTENING TO THE BAPTISMAL VOWS WE WERE OFF 06:00 TO A LOCAL POND FOR THE BAPTISM. 06:04 WE PASSED SOME WOOD ON THE WAY AND THEY TOLD ME THAT 06:10 IT HAD BEEN SET ON ONE SIDE FOR THE FRAME WORK OF 06:14 A NEW CHURCH. 06:15 THE LOCAL CHURCH CONFERENCE HAD PROMISED A 06:19 NEW TIN ROOF LIKE THIS. 06:22 THE IMMEDIATE PROBLEM WAS LAND TO BUILD ON. 06:25 THEY DECIDED ON A SPOT AND I HAD SOME MONEY IN MY 06:31 POCKET TO BUY THE LAND. 06:33 THE MONEY HAD BEEN DONATED BY MY LOCAL CHURCH IN 06:37 TENNESSEE FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS. 06:40 WHAT A JOY IN THIS BEAUTIFUL VALLEY TO SEE 06:44 ELEVEN NEW BELIEVERS BAPTIZED TODAY. 06:48 I FOLLOWED OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH VOLUNTEERS AS 06:51 THEY VISITED THE LOCAL FAMILIES. 06:54 SMALL GROUPS HAD BEEN FORMED AND THIS NEW CHURCH 06:57 FAMILY WILL NOW REACH OUT TO THE NEXT VILLAGE. 07:02 BUT ONE FAMILY HAD A PROBLEM. 07:05 IN THE MIDDLE OF ONE NIGHT ONE OF THE VILLAGE LADIES 07:10 WAS SUFFERING WITH EXTREME BACK PAIN. 07:14 IT WAS SO BAD THAT SHE MADE A RASH PROMISE TO 07:18 KALI, ONE OF THE IMPORTANT HINDU GODS. 07:21 SHE PROMISED THAT IF SHE COULD GET THROUGH THE 07:25 NIGHT SHE WOULD NEVER EAT A COCONUT AGAIN OR EVEN 07:29 DRINK THE MILK. 07:31 NOW COCONUTS ARE A VITAL PART OF THEIR DIET BUT SHE 07:35 HAD KEPT THE PROMISE. 07:37 NOW SHE HAD MADE SOME VOWS TO THE GOD OF HEAVEN AND 07:42 SHE WONDERED IF IT WOULD BE OKAY TO BREAK THE 07:46 PROMISE TO KALI. 07:47 WELL OF COURSE IT WOULD. 07:50 I ASSURED HER THAT JESUS CHRIST IS SO MUCH MORE 07:53 POWERFUL THAN KALI THAT SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY. 07:57 HE HAD HEALED THE LADY AND HE COULD RAISE JAIRUS'S 08:02 DAUGHTER FROM THE DEAD. 08:04 SO THAT'S THE KIND OF GOD THAT WE WORSHIP SO YOU 08:08 DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID OF ANY PROMISES THAT YOU HAVE 08:11 MADE TO KALI BEFORE. 08:12 I ENJOYED SHARING IN THAT COCONUT TODAY. 08:16 THIS WAS THE REPUBLIC DAY THAT CERTAINLY NEEDED TO 08:22 BE CELEBRATED. 08:23 I WAS SO GLAD TO BE ABLE TO CELEBRATE WITH 08:27 TWIBAKLAI VILLAGE. 08:28 YOU TOO CAN JOIN IN THE CELEBRATION AS YOU GIVE TO 08:34 SUPPORT OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH VOLUNTEERS IN 08:37 TRIPURA NORTHEAST INDIA. 08:41 WOW JOHN, WHAT A JOURNEY FROM REPUBLIC DAY TO 08:44 PARADES TO A DEAR LADY WHO WAS SO CONVICTED ABOUT 08:48 THIS COCONUT, NOT EATING COCONUT. 08:51 YES, WELL SHE MADE THIS PROMISE AND IT IS A 08:55 PROBLEM WHEN PEOPLE COME FROM THE HINDU RELIGION 08:59 AND THEY'VE MADE PROMISES TO HINDU GODS AND THEN 09:02 THEY BECOME CHRISTIANS. 09:04 NOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THESE PROMISES THAT THEY MADE. 09:05 YES, BECAUSE THEY FEEL CONVICTED ON THIS THAT 09:06 THEY'VE MADE THIS AND THEN WHAT WILL THAT GOD AND THE 09:08 MULTIPLE GODS AND ALL OF THAT. 09:14 YES. 09:15 SO AS I SAW THOSE PEOPLE BEING BAPTIZED, THE ELEVEN 09:17 PEOPLE, THAT IS A JOURNEY. 09:19 EACH PERSON WHO COMES TO BAPTISM BUT THESE PEOPLE 09:22 WHO COME FROM DIFFERENT RELIGIONS LIKE HINDUISM 09:24 AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THEY'RE LEAVING CULTURAL, 09:26 FAMILY, ALL OF THAT BEHIND AND THAT'S A HUGE DECISION 09:31 FOR THE LIVING GOD. 09:33 YES. 09:33 PRAISE THE LORD. 09:34 YES. 09:35 SO THAT WAS TRIPURA AND THEN ANOTHER AREA OF YOUR 09:38 WORK HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH IS THE COUNTRY OF 09:41 BANGLADESH. 09:42 AND THIS YEAR I WENT BY TRAIN FROM TRIPURA OVER TO 09:47 BANGLADESH. 09:48 BUT THAT'S ANOTHER STORY ANOTHER FILM. 09:51 WELL, AND AT BANGLADESH WE HAVE SOME INFORMATION. 09:54 THERE ARE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN BANGLADESH AND 09:58 YET LOOK AT THAT POPULATION. 10:00 ONE HUNDRED SIXTY-TWO MILLION AND THEN POINT 10:05 FOUR PERCENT WHO ARE CHRISTIANS IN BANGLADESH. 10:08 ONLY THAT YES. 10:10 YES, AND DEAR PEOPLE WHO NEED TO BE PRAYED FOR AND 10:13 THEN TRIPURA THERE WITH THE THREE POINT FIVE 10:15 MILLION AND MORE PEOPLE WHO NEED TO KNOW ABOUT 10:19 JESUS. 10:19 YES. 10:20 BUT IN DHAKA WHERE I WAS HEADING FOR THERE ARE 10:22 ABOUT SEVENTEEN MILLION BUT SOMETIMES IT SEEMS AS 10:25 IF THE WHOLE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-TWO MILLION PEOPLE 10:30 ARE ALL IN THAT ONE CITY OF DHAKA. 10:32 WELL YOU KNOW YOU JUST SAID THAT ONE WORD AND I 10:35 HAVE BEEN THERE WHEN I WAS A STUDENT MISSIONARY AND 10:37 MY WHOLE MIND JUST FLOODED WITH SCENES AND VOICES AND 10:41 EVERYTHING OF MEMORIES OF BEING THERE. 10:43 AND YES, THERE WERE PROBABLY A HUNDRED AND 10:45 SIXTY-TWO MILLION PEOPLE THERE THAT DAY AS WELL. 10:47 YES. 10:48 PEOPLE COMING AND GOING. 10:49 SO SHARE WITH US THE NEXT REPORT THAT YOU HAVE FOR 10:51 US. 10:52 WELL YOU SEE, WE WERE HEADING FOR DHAKA IN 10:55 BANGLADESH BECAUSE WE WERE GOING TO DO A TRAINING 10:59 PROGRAM THERE IN OUR NEW PROGRAM THAT WE'VE 11:02 DEVELOPED AT GOSPEL OUTREACH. 11:05 THIS NEW PROGRAM IS IN STORY TELLING BECAUSE WE 11:09 WANT, WE WANT ALL OF OUR CHURCH DOCTRINES AND 11:13 TEACHINGS TO BE TAUGHT THROUGH STORIES. 11:17 AND SO WE HAD THIS TRAINING PROGRAM AND IF 11:21 YOU'D LIKE TO HAVE A LOOK AT IT NOW THEN WE CAN TALK 11:23 ABOUT IT. 11:26 AS I VISITED OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH VOLUNTEERS IN 11:29 BANGLADESH THIS YEAR ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I ASKED 11:34 WAS WHOM HAVE YOU SHARED YOUR STORY WITH. 11:39 I KNEW THAT THEY HAD A STORY TO SHARE BECAUSE I 11:41 HAD BEEN THERE WITH THEM AS THEY LEARNED IT. 11:45 FORTY GOSPEL OUTREACH ADVENTIST MISSION WORKERS 11:50 HAD BEEN INVITED THIS YEAR TO ONE OF OUR CHURCH 11:53 SCHOOLS FOR A WORKSHOP IN STORY TELLING. 11:58 WE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH HAVE ONE AIM TO SHARE THE STORY 12:03 OF JESUS WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER KNOWN HIM. 12:06 THE SCHOOL GAVE US THE TRADITIONAL WELCOME 12:10 (SINGING AND MUSIC) AND SOON WE WERE IN OUR 12:19 WORKSHOP LEARNING AND SHARING THE STORIES OF 12:24 JESUS. 12:25 GOSPEL OUTREACH HAS DEVELOPED A NEW TRAINING 12:28 MANUAL TO HELP PEOPLE GET TO KNOW THE GOD OF THE 12:32 BIBLE THROUGH LEARNING HIS STORY. 12:36 WE WANT OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH VOLUNTEERS TO USE 12:40 CAREFULLY CHOSEN BIBLE STORIES AS THE BASIS FOR 12:45 ALL TEACHING. 12:46 SO I ASKED SUDHIR, WHOM HAVE YOU SHARED YOUR STORY 12:51 WITH. 12:52 WELL, HE HAD MET AN OLD MAN ON THE ROAD WHO WANTED 12:56 TO KNOW WHERE SUDHIR HAD BEEN. 12:58 HE HAD MISSED HIM AROUND THE VILLAGE. 13:01 SO HE TOLD HIM ABOUT THE WORKSHOP AND HE SHARED HIS 13:05 BIBLE STORY. 13:07 HE ALSO HAD GONE TO SEE A MAN IN HIS HOME AND SHARED 13:11 HIS STORY. 13:12 THESE WERE THE RESULTS THAT WE HAD BEEN HOPING 13:15 FOR. 13:16 ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WE TAUGHT OUR STORY TELLERS 13:19 TO ASK IS WHOM CAN YOU SHARE THIS STORY WITH. 13:25 DURING OUR WORKSHOP WE PRAYED A LOT, LEARNED SOME 13:29 NEW WAYS TO SPEND MORE TIME IN PRAYER AND WE SANG 13:33 A LOT TOO. 13:34 THE AIM OF OUR WORKSHOP IS TO LEARN HOW TO LET GOD'S 13:38 SPIRIT TEACH US AND OTHERS HIS STORY. 13:43 STUDENTS WERE TAUGHT TO FOLLOW SEVEN STEPS IN 13:47 THEIR BIBLE READING AND SHARING. 13:49 NUMBER ONE: PRAY FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT. 13:53 TWO: READ OR TELL THE CHOSEN STORY. 13:54 THREE: REVIEW ALL THE IMPORTANT POINTS AND 13:55 REREAD. 13:56 (TALKING) FOUR: ASK WHAT DOES THIS SAY ABOUT GOD. 13:57 FIVE: ASK WHAT DOES THIS SAY ABOUT PEOPLE AND THEIR 13:59 CHOICES. 14:00 SIX: WHAT WILL I CHOSE TO DO TO OBEY GOD. 14:01 SEVEN: WHOM CAN I SHARE THIS STORY WITH. 14:02 (TALKING). 14:03 I ASKED ONE OF OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH VOLUNTEERS WHOM 14:29 HE HAD SHARED HIS STORY WITH. 14:32 WELL THE FIRST PERSON HE SAID WAS MY WIFE. 14:35 SHE WAS VERY IMPRESSED. 14:36 I WATCHED HIM SHARING WITH THE NEW BELIEVERS IN THE 14:40 VILLAGE OF BOREA. 14:41 PAT GUSTIN FROM GOSPEL OUTREACH SHARED HER 14:46 PERSONAL STORY. 14:47 SHE TOLD US HOW SHE CAME TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP 14:51 WITH JESUS. 14:52 WE ALL PREPARED OUR PERSONAL STORY AND WE 14:55 SHARED IT WITH A PARTNER. 14:57 WE PRAYED AND WE SANG. 15:01 EVERYONE ALSO HAD TO SHARE THE BIBLE STORY THAT THEY 15:06 HAD CHOSEN TO LEARN. 15:07 BUT WHAT THEY ENJOYED THE MOST WAS ALLOWING GOD'S 15:11 SPIRIT TO TEACH THEM THROUGH THEIR SMALL GROUP 15:15 STUDY. 15:16 AND THEN THEY PRAYED AND SANG. 15:21 WESLEY SZAMKO EXPLAINED HOW STORIES FROM THE OLD 15:25 AND THE NEW TESTAMENT PROVIDED A FRAMEWORK FOR 15:29 STORIES THAT PREPARE A BELIEVER TO BE BAPTIZED 15:33 INTO GOD'S CHURCH FAMILY. 15:36 I WATCHED GOSPEL OUTREACH VOLUNTEER CORNELIUS 15:40 SHARING HIS STORY IN ONE OF THE VILLAGES. 15:42 THIS HINDU VILLAGE WAS MOVED BY THE STORY OF 15:48 JESUS AND IMPRESSED BY THE POWER OF CHRISTIAN PRAYER 15:52 FOR THEIR DAUGHTER. 15:54 AT THE WORKSHOP WE PRAYED A LOT AND WE SANG. 15:57 NO ONE WAS ALLOWED TO ESCAPE THEIR STORY 16:01 TELLING. 16:02 (GROUP TELLING STORY) THOSE WHO HAD CHOSEN THE 16:07 SAME STORY BANDED TOGETHER AND ACTED OUT THEIR 16:11 STORIES ON THE SABBATH AFTERNOON. 16:14 ONE THING WE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO FORGET WAS THAT 16:18 OUR NEWLY FORMED GROUPS HAD TO BE CENTERS FOR 16:22 SHARING OUR STORIES WITH OTHERS. 16:26 THIS IS THE CALL OF GOSPEL OUTREACH AND YOU CAN BE 16:31 PART OF HIS STORY AS YOU GIVE TO SUPPORT OUR GOSPEL 16:35 OUTREACH VOLUNTEERS IN BANGLADESH. 16:38 PLEASE PRAY FOR GOD'S WORK IN BANGLADESH. 16:44 FANTASTIC JOHN BECAUSE IT'S ALL HIS STORY. 16:49 THAT'S RIGHT. 16:50 AND IT'S ALL HISTORY AND THEY ARE ALL STORIES. 16:52 AND ESPECIALLY IN THE NEW TESTAMENT JESUS TOLD 16:55 STORIES. 16:56 YES. 16:57 AND STORIES ARE VERY DEAR TO MY HEART ESPECIALLY 16:59 AUDIO STORIES. 17:00 AND TO SEE THOSE PEOPLE ACTING EVERYTHING OUT. 17:03 AND I HAVE HEARD PAT AS SHE HAS GIVEN THE EXAMPLE 17:08 OF THE STORY THAT SHE TELLS AND IT'S VERY 17:11 MOVING. 17:11 YES. 17:12 IT IS VERY MOVING. 17:13 WELL THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT. 17:14 AND IF YOU'RE EXCITED ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE HEARING 17:19 HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH AND ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS 17:21 WE WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO BE A PART OF 17:23 SHARING JESUS IN THE 10/40 WINDOW. 17:24 (CHILDREN SINGING, IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES, JESUS 17:59 LOVES ME.) LET'S GO INTO ALL THE WORLD AND SHARE 18:02 THE GOSPEL TO ALL PEOPLE. 18:03 THERE ARE ABOUT THREE BILLION PEOPLE IN THE 18:06 10/40 WINDOW WHO STILL NEED TO HEAR AND KNOW 18:09 JESUS LOVES THEM. 18:12 TOGETHER WITH THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS LET'S 18:15 FULFILL CHRIST'S COMMISSION. 18:17 YOU CAN PRAY, VOLUNTEER OR SUPPORT A BIBLE WORKER TO 18:21 SHARE JESUS WITH THEIR NEIGHBORS SO THAT ALL WILL 18:25 KNOW JESUS LOVES THEM, HE DIED FOR THEM AND HE IS 18:28 COMING SOON. 18:30 (MUSIC PLAYING) AND MAYBE YOU DON'T KNOW THAT BUT 18:38 JESUS DOES LOVE YOU AND HE IS COMING BACK FOR YOU AS 18:43 WELL AND WE WANT TO GO AND TO TELL THE NEWS OF JESUS, 18:47 THAT HE HAS DIED FOR US, FORGIVEN US AND IS COMING 18:51 SOON. 18:52 JOHN DUROE YOU ARE HERE SHARING WITH US 18:54 INTERESTING STORIES FROM TRIPURA AND ALSO FROM 18:57 BANGLADESH AND YOU HAVE SOME MORE STORIES TO 18:59 SHARE. 19:00 YES. 19:01 BRICK MAKING IS SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN'T GET AWAY 19:03 FROM IN BANGLADESH BECAUSE THEY ARE MAKING BRICKS, 19:06 BAKING BRICKS AND BUILDING WITH BRICKS ALL OVER THE 19:09 PLACE. 19:10 AND SO THIS VIDEO THAT WE HAVE HERE WILL TELL YOU A 19:13 LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE BRICK YARD VILLAGE. 19:16 YOU CAN'T TRAVEL FAR IN BANGLADESH WITHOUT FINDING 19:20 A BRICK YARD. 19:22 BRICKS ARE VERY IMPORTANT. 19:25 THEY ARE MADE AND THEY ARE BROKEN. 19:27 THEY ARE USED TO BUILD HOUSES AND ALSO ROADS. 19:31 WHOLE FAMILIES WORK IN THE BRICK YARD. 19:33 IT'S PIECE WORK SO THE PACE IS FAST. 19:37 THE RATE, 500 TAKAS FOR TWO THOUSAND BRICKS. 19:42 THAT'S TWO THOUSAND BRICKS PAYS SIX DOLLARS. 19:46 THE CLAY IS LOCAL AND THE FURNACE IS FED BY COAL 19:52 DUST AND THE BRICKS KEEP COMING. 19:55 NOT MUCH TIME FOR FUN BUT THIS IS THE _____ 20:01 (SOUNDS). 20:02 THIS YARD IS IN THE VILLAGE OF DULLAPURE AND 20:09 OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH VOLUNTEER HERE IS CALLED 20:12 SUNIL. 20:14 SUNIL VISITS THE BRICK WORKERS. 20:16 IN FACT HE VISITS MOST HOUSES IN THE VILLAGE. 20:19 WHEN HE STARTED HIS VISITS HE GAVE ADVICE ON HOW TO 20:23 LIVE A HEALTHIER LIFE STYLE. 20:26 (TALKING) THE VILLAGERS ARE GRATEFUL FOR HIS HELP 20:34 AND HE HAS MADE SOME GOOD FRIENDS. 20:36 ONE DAY HE INTRODUCED A BIBLE STORY. 20:40 SOME LIKED IT BUT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. 20:43 NOT ALL THE VILLAGERS WERE HAPPY. 20:46 SOME GOT A LITTLE ANGRY ESPECIALLY SOME WHO LIKED 20:50 A LITTLE ALCOHOL. 20:51 THEY TRIED TO DISRUPT SUNILS MEETING. 20:54 THEY THREATENED TO INFORM AND BRING IN THE POLICE. 20:58 SUNIL LEFT THAT DAY BUT THE NEXT DAY HE WAS BACK 21:02 AGAIN. 21:03 HE VISITED, HE PRAYED WITH THEM AND FINALLY THEY 21:07 APOLOGIZED FOR BEING SO MEAN TO HIM THE DAY 21:10 BEFORE. 21:11 (SOUNDS AND TALKING) WHEN I SAW SUNIL HE HAD JUST 21:20 RETURNED FROM A WORKSHOP IN STORY TELLING. 21:24 OUR GOAL AT GOSPEL OUTREACH IS TO SHARE THE 21:28 STORY OF JESUS WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER KNOWN HIM. 21:33 SUNIL HAS FORMED A SMALL GROUP IN DULLAPURE VILLAGE 21:37 AND I WATCHED HIM SHARE THE STORY OF JESUS 21:40 STILLING THE STORM AT SEA. 21:42 THIS WAS ONE OF THE STORIES THAT HE HAD 21:45 MEMORIZED. 21:46 WE HAD BEEN ENCOURAGING OUR WORKERS TO LEARN A NEW 21:50 BIBLE STORY EVERY MONTH. 21:53 GOSPEL OUTREACH IS TRAINING ITS VOLUNTEERS TO 21:57 USE BIBLE STORIES AS A FRAMEWORK FOR BUILDING A 22:01 STRONG FAITH. 22:03 WE WANT UNBELIEVERS TO DISCOVER BIBLE TRUTHS THAT 22:08 WILL MAKE THEM INTO FAITHFUL DISCIPLES. 22:12 THE BRICK YARD WORKERS MAY NOT EARN MUCH BUT THEY 22:15 WANTED ME TO SHARE THEIR LUNCH. 22:23 (MUCH TALKING AND LAUGHING). 22:29 ROASTED POTATOES WERE VERY TASTY. 22:37 PLEASE PRAY FOR SUNIL AS HE SHARES THE STORY OF 22:45 JESUS IN DULLAPURE VILLAGE BANGLADESH. 22:50 VERY INTERESTING JOHN. 22:52 AND YOU KNOW I SAW ALL THOSE BRICKS AND YOU KNOW 22:53 WHAT I THOUGHT OF. 22:54 I THOUGHT OF ALL THE ISRAELITES IN EGYPT AND I 22:57 THOUGHT ABOUT THEM WORKING AND ALL THE THINGS THAT 22:59 THEY HAD TO BUILD YOU KNOW DURING THAT TIME. 23:02 AND I ALSO HAVE BEEN TO BANGLADESH AND I REMEMBER 23:05 TRAVELING UP A DIRT ROAD AND I SAW WOMEN OFF TO THE 23:09 SIDE AND THEY HAD CHISELED HAMMERS, BREAKING BRICKS. 23:12 THEY WERE MAKING GRAVEL. 23:13 YES. 23:15 AND I LOOKED AT THAT AND I THOUGHT OH MY, COMING FROM 23:17 OUR CULTURE WHERE YOU KNOW WE HAVE MACHINERY AND ALL 23:21 OF THAT TO DO THAT, AND HERE THESE DEAR PEOPLE ARE 23:23 DOING THIS BY HAND. 23:24 YES, YES. 23:25 BUT WHAT WAS THAT, TWO THOUSAND BRICKS FOR SIX 23:29 DOLLARS. 23:29 YES. 23:30 THE EQUIVALENT OF SIX U.S. 23:32 DOLLARS. 23:33 YES, MAKE TWO THOUSAND BRICKS TO MAKE SIX 23:35 DOLLARS. 23:36 AND THAT MAN WAS HUSTLING. 23:37 HE WAS, HE WAS FAST. 23:38 YES HE WAS HUSTLING. 23:40 YES. 23:41 SO THIS WHOLE BIBLE STORY TELLING, WE ALL HAVE A 23:43 STORY TO TELL. 23:44 WE ALL HAVE SOMETHING TO SHARE AND I THINK IT'S SO 23:47 MOVING. 23:48 AND AS THE MAN WAS TALKING ABOUT TELLING THE STORY OF 23:50 JESUS IN THE BOAT, WE NEED TO TELL THAT STORY BECAUSE 23:53 THE LISTENER CAN FEEL LIKE THEY ARE GETTING WET. 23:55 JUST HOW IT WAS WITH THE DISCIPLES THERE. 23:58 YES. 23:59 WELL WE'RE TRYING TO ENCOURAGE OUR GOSPEL 24:01 OUTREACH WORKERS TO LEARN ONE NEW STORY EVERY MONTH. 24:07 SO THEY ARE BUILDING UP THIS REPERTOIRE OF STORIES 24:11 THAT THEY HAVE IN THEIR MIND THAT THEY CAN SHARE. 24:14 WELL AND THEN TO ALSO PUT IN THE PERSONAL 24:17 PERSPECTIVE OF WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE IN THEIR 24:20 LIFE WITH THE STORY FROM THE BIBLE. 24:22 SO WHAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN SHARE WITH THEM 24:26 JOHN. 24:27 WELL, IF THEY ARE WILLING TO SHARE THEIR LUNCH WITH 24:33 ME YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE WE WILLING TO SHARE WITH 24:38 THEM. 24:39 BECAUSE YOU KNOW WE DON'T HAVE TO MAKE TWO THOUSAND 24:42 BRICKS IN ORDER TO MAKE SIX DOLLARS. 24:44 WE HAVE SIX DOLLARS TO SPARE. 24:46 WE CAN SHARE THAT WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH. 24:50 MAYBE WE CAN SHARE MORE. 24:51 HOW CAN A VIEWER WHO HAS BEEN LISTENING WHO HAS 24:54 BEEN MOVED BY WHAT YOU HAVE SHARED FROM TRIPURA 24:56 AND BANGLADESH, HOW CAN THEY GET INVOLVED AND 24:59 SHARE THEIR SIX DOLLARS? 25:00 WELL THEY CAN CONTACT GOSPEL OUTREACH. 25:03 WE SHOW THEM HOW TO CONTACT GOSPEL OUTREACH. 25:06 THEY CAN PRAY FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH, PRAY FOR OUR 25:09 WORKERS AND THEY CAN SUPPORT ON A REGULAR 25:12 BASIS. 25:13 AND THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD APPRECIATE. 25:15 WELL AND LIKE THE MAN WHO LITERALLY IS SHOWING UP 25:18 EVERY DAY. 25:19 HE IS GOING TO SEE THE PEOPLE AND THE PEOPLE 25:21 APOLOGIZED FOR NOT ACCEPTING HIM AND YET HE 25:24 CONTINUES TO SHOW UP. 25:25 AND THAT'S WHAT THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS DO. 25:27 THAT'S THE STORY AS I SIT HERE, THAT GOSPEL OUTREACH 25:30 WORKERS SHOW UP. 25:31 THEY SHOW UP WHEN THE PEOPLE ARE SICK. 25:33 THEY SHOW UP FOR CELEBRATIONS. 25:35 THEY SHOW UP WHEN PEOPLE NEED ENCOURAGEMENT. 25:37 YES. 25:38 AND THAT'S WHAT I'M HEARING FROM ALL OF YOU 25:40 REGIONAL DIRECTORS. 25:41 YES. 25:42 AND WE WANT OUR VIEWERS TO PRAY FOR OUR WORKERS. 25:48 WELL, AND WE HAVE NO IDEA. 25:50 YES WE HEAR STORIES. 25:51 YES THE REGIONAL DIRECTORS GO. 25:53 BUT WE DON'T HEAR ALL OF THE STORIES. 25:55 WE WON'T KNOW THAT UNTIL WE GET TO HEAVEN OF HOW 25:57 THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS ARE LITERALLY 25:59 PUTTING THEIR LIVES AT STAKE ESPECIALLY IN THESE 26:02 MUSLIM AREAS, THESE HINDU AREAS. 26:04 YES BECAUSE YOU SEE THEY WERE THREATENING THAT 26:06 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER WITH INFORMING THE POLICE. 26:10 NOW THAT'S A BIG PROBLEM. 26:14 YES, YES.
