00:35 OUTREACH. 00:36 I'M JULIE SANDERS KEYMER AND IT'S ALWAYS EXCITING 00:38 TO HAVE YOU HERE WITH US AS WE SHARE WITH YOU WHAT 00:41 IS HAPPENING WITH THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS IN 00:44 THE 10/40 WINDOW, THAT BIG RECTANGLE FROM WEST AFRICA 00:48 ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE EAST, INDIA, CHINA 00:51 AND THE PHILIPPINES AND MANY, MANY PEOPLE. 00:54 MANY PEOPLE, BILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THIS 00:57 AREA AND MANY OF THEM STILL NEED TO KNOW ABOUT 01:01 JESUS. 01:02 IN MARK16:15 JESUS TELLS US TO GO AND TELL. 01:06 AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE EACH SUPPOSED TO DO AS 01:09 CHRISTIANS, TO GO AND TELL THE EXCITING LOVE OF 01:12 JESUS. 01:13 AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE ALL ABOUT HERE AT GOSPEL 01:18 OUTREACH. 01:18 AND TODAY WE HAVE HARALD ZINNER HERE. 01:20 HI HARALD, WELCOME. 01:21 THANK YOU. 01:22 THIS IS YOUR DEBUT HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH AND WE'RE 01:25 EXCITED THAT YOU'RE HERE AND INVOLVED WITH US AS WE 01:27 ARE GOING AND TELLING ABOUT JESUS. 01:30 THAT'S RIGHT. 01:31 SO HARALD, TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF. 01:33 YOU'RE NEW TO GOSPEL OUTREACH, WELCOME AND 01:35 YOU'RE A NEW REGIONAL DIRECTOR AND WHY DON'T YOU 01:38 SHARE WITH OUR VIEWERS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHO YOU 01:42 ARE. 01:42 THANK YOU. 01:43 I'M REGIONAL DIRECTOR WITH WHAT THEY CALL REGION 7 01:46 WHICH INCLUDES THE COUNTRIES OF SOUTH SUDAN, 01:49 ETHIOPIA, ALSO TECHNICALLY EGYPT AND SUDAN WHICH IS 01:53 JUST NORTH. 01:53 AND I ENJOY THE CHALLENGE. 01:54 IN 1974 MY WIFE AND I WENT TO EAST AFRICA, KENYA, AND 02:06 WERE IN UGANDA ACTUALLY WORKING THERE AT BUGEMA 02:09 ADVENTIST COLLEGE NOW BUGEMA ADVENTIST 02:11 UNIVERSITY. 02:12 AND IT WAS INTERESTING, WHEN I ARRIVED IN KAMPALA 02:18 THAT I MADE A POINT OF MEETING THE THEN UNION 02:22 PRESIDENT TO INTRODUCE MYSELF AND I COMMENTED TO 02:28 HIM THAT IT WAS FORTY YEARS AGO THAT WE HAD 02:31 ACTUALLY LEFT UGANDA. 02:32 AND HERE YOU WERE BACK AGAIN. 02:34 BACK AGAIN RIGHT. 02:35 AND WHAT I FOUND INTERESTING IS THE CHANGE 02:39 IN UGANDA IN THOSE FORTY YEARS. 02:42 SUCH AS? 02:44 IDI AMIN WAS NO LONGER THERE, IF YOU REMEMBER 02:46 HIM. 02:46 AND PEOPLE WERE A LOT MORE RELAXED. 02:49 THERE WERE A LOT MORE CARS ON THE ROAD. 02:51 PEOPLE HAD CELL PHONES. 02:52 THEY CAUGHT UP WITH YOU KNOW WESTERN TECHNOLOGY IN 02:54 THAT SENSE AND IT WAS JUST GREAT TO BE ABLE TO WALK 02:57 THE STREETS OF KAMPALA. 02:59 AND WHEN WE TRAVELED UP TO NORTHERN UGANDA BY BUS, 03:03 BECAUSE WE WANTED TO VISIT THE REFUGEE CAMPS, THE 03:05 WHOLE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM SEEMS TO HAVE 03:09 CHANGED YOU KNOW. 03:11 WOW. 03:12 WE DIDN'T HAVE THE RICKETY BUSES THAT EVERYBODY WAS 03:15 AFRAID WAS GOING TO CRASH AND WHAT NOT. 03:17 THE ROADS WERE PAVED EXCEPT FOR THE LAST 03:18 SECTION WHICH WAS RATHER BUMPY. 03:20 AND BEING AN OVER NIGHT TRIP YOU KNOW GETTING 03:23 WOKEN UP AT FOUR O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING ON THOSE 03:25 ROUGH ROADS YOU KNOW WAS RATHER INTERESTING. 03:29 BUT VERY ENJOYABLE. 03:33 SOME OF MY BACKGROUND. 03:34 I WAS A TEACHER AND TAUGHT THERE. 03:37 WENT TO BEIRUT AT MIDDLE EAST COLLEGE. 03:39 CAME BACK TO KENYA AND WORKED WITH THE UNIVERSITY 03:43 OF EASTERN AFRICA AT BARATON BEFORE I WENT ON 03:45 TO ADDITIONAL POST GRADUATE WORK AND THEN 03:48 ENDED UP WORKING FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF ALBERTA IN 03:50 CANADA. 03:52 AND NOW I LIVE IN SOUTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA. 03:54 AND HOW DID YOU GET RECRUITED TO THE WORLD OF 03:57 GOSPEL OUTREACH? 03:58 WELL THROUGH CAMP MEETINGS BOTH IN ALBERTA AND IN 04:01 BRITISH COLUMBIA I WAS AWARE OF GOSPEL OUTREACH. 04:04 I HAD KNOWN DWIGHT ROSE BECAUSE WE WERE AT MIDDLE 04:06 EAST COLLEGE TOGETHER. 04:08 I WAS AT THE COLLEGE. 04:09 HE WAS AT THE OVERSEAS SCHOOL AND SO WE'VE HAD 04:11 KIND OF CONTACT. 04:12 SURE. 04:12 THEY LIVE IN KELOWNA. 04:13 WE'RE ONLY 110 KILOMETERS, YOU KNOW ABOUT 70 MILES 04:18 SOUTH OF KELOWNA. 04:21 AND SO HE ASKED ME ONE TIME YOU KNOW, WOULD YOU 04:23 LIKE TO BECOME A BOARD MEMBER? 04:25 I SAID YES. 04:26 AND THEN A LITTLE WHILE LATER HE SAYS WOULD YOU 04:29 LIKE TO BE A REGIONAL DIRECTOR BECAUSE PASTOR 04:31 DAVE CROOK, WHO WAS THE REGIONAL DIRECTOR FOR THE 04:34 AREA, DECIDED IT WAS TIME FOR HIM TO RETIRE. 04:38 AND I SAID WELL LET ME TALK TO MY WIFE AND LET'S 04:42 PRAY ABOUT IT AND I SAID OK WE'LL DO THAT AND LET 04:46 THE LORD LEAD. 04:47 WELL PRAISE THE LORD. 04:48 AND DWIGHT IS OUR DIRECTOR IN CANADA, AT GOSPEL 04:51 OUTREACH CANADA. 04:53 AND SO DWIGHT WAS GOING AND TELLING THE GOOD NEWS 04:55 ABOUT JESUS AND ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH. 04:57 SO GOOD JOB DWIGHT AND HIS WIFE. 05:00 AND SO WELCOME, WELCOME. 05:02 SO IT'S INTERESTING TO ME AS YOU KNOW AS LIFE 05:05 PROGRESSES AND AS WE SEE THINGS, HERE THE LORD HAD 05:08 YOU IN AFRICA AND THEN YES TIME PASSES AND NOW HERE 05:13 YOU ARE BACK IN AFRICA. 05:14 RIGHT. 05:15 AND IT JUST MAKES ME SMILE HOW THE LORD DOES THAT. 05:18 THAT'S RIGHT YOU KNOW. 05:19 WHAT WAS INTERESTING WHEN WE MET WITH THE UNION 05:22 PRESIDENT, HE ALSO INVITED HIS OFFICE STAFF AND WE 05:26 WERE SITTING AROUND THE TABLE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN 05:30 ONE OF THE, WHAT I CLASSIFIED AS A YOUNG MAN, 05:32 I MEAN HE WASN'T MIDDLE AGED OBVIOUSLY, HE SAID 05:36 YOU WERE FROM______. 05:37 THAT'S RIGHT. 05:38 HE SAYS I WAS ONE OF YOUR STUDENTS. 05:40 ISN'T THAT SOMETHING. 05:41 AND HOW NEAT. 05:42 ON THIS SIDE OF HEAVEN SOME OF THESES PEOPLE YOU 05:44 THINK YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO SEE AGAIN. 05:46 THAT'S RIGHT. 05:46 THAT'S RIGHT. 05:47 WELL PRETTY GOOD. 05:48 WELL WELCOME AND YOU HAVE A REPORT HERE FOR US TODAY 05:51 AND THAT'S WHAT WE DO HERE AT ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS. 05:55 WE ARE WANTING TO HEAR THE GREAT NEWS OF WHAT GOSPEL 05:57 OUTREACH WORKERS ARE DOING, SHARING THAT WITH 05:59 OUR VIEWERS AND OUR SUPPORTERS AND NEW PEOPLE. 06:02 AND WE WANT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR AREA OF THE 10/40 06:05 WINDOW. 06:06 WELL THANK YOU. 06:07 LET ME JUST START BY JUST GIVING AN OVERVIEW OF THE 06:12 REPORT BASED ON THE REPORTS YOU KNOW THAT WE 06:18 RECEIVE FROM THERE. 06:20 IN 2017 OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS WERE 06:24 RESPONSIBLE FOR JUST A LITTLE OVER TWO THOUSAND 06:27 BAPTISMS. 06:29 AND I PRAISE THE LORD FOR THAT BECAUSE SOME OF THOSE 06:30 AREAS ARE A REAL CHALLENGE. 06:32 I MEAN FOR EXAMPLE IN ETHIOPIA WHERE YOU HAVE A 06:37 LARGE COPTIC ORTHODOX CONCENTRATION. 06:39 COPTIC ORTHODOX. 06:41 BREAK THAT DOWN FOR US HARALD. 06:42 OF ORTHODOX ORIGIN. 06:45 YES. 06:46 COPTIC, KEEP IN MIND THAT CHRISTIANITY CAME INTO 06:52 ETHIOPIA YOU KNOW THROUGH THE EUNUCH. 06:56 RIGHT, RIGHT, IN THE BIBLE. 06:57 WE READ ABOUT THAT IN THE BOOK OF ACTS. 06:59 AND SO CHRISTIANITY HAS BEEN THERE YOU KNOW FOR 07:04 OVER TWO THOUSAND YEARS. 07:07 AND SO THE COPTIC ARE DESCENDANTS OF THAT 07:09 CHRISTIANITY. 07:10 AND BECAUSE OF THAT YOU KNOW THEY ARE VERY FIRMLY 07:11 SET IN THEIR CULTURE AND THEIR RELIGION. 07:13 SO IT'S A REAL CHALLENGE IN THAT SENSE TO SHARE 07:14 WITH THEM AND BRING THEM UP TO DATE SO TO SPEAK 07:15 ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTH. 07:16 NOW THERE ARE A LOT OF COPTIC ORTHODOX YOU KNOW 07:17 THROUGHOUT ETHIOPIA. 07:18 IT'S THE PREDOMINATE. 07:19 THERE ARE ALSO A LOT OF MUSLIMS BECAUSE OF THE 07:20 MUSLIM INFLUENCE THROUGH THE ARABS. 07:21 SO IT'S A CHALLENGE. 07:22 AND SO WE DON'T HAVE AS MANY CONVERTS IN THAT 07:23 SENSE THERE. 07:25 WHEREAS AMONG THE REFUGEES IN NORTHERN UGANDA FROM 07:26 SOUTH SUDAN ALREADY YOU KNOW BEING DISPLACED YOU 07:27 KNOW ARE MORE OPEN BECAUSE IT BRINGS HOPE. 07:28 WELL AND WE HAVE SOME GRAPHICS HERE TO SHARE 07:30 WITH OUR VIEWERS OF THIS AREA OF THE WORLD. 07:32 IT KIND OF BREAKS IT DOWN HERE FOR ETHIOPIA AND 07:34 SOUTH SUDAN WHICH ARE ALSO PART OF YOUR AREA. 07:36 POPULATION 103 MILLION. 07:36 MANY UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUPS. 07:37 I MEAN WE PROBABLY DON'T EVEN KNOW, CORRECT HARALD, 07:39 HOW MANY UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUPS THAT THERE ARE 07:40 THERE. 07:41 AND THERE'S THE COLORFUL FLAG OF SOUTH SUDAN OF 07:42 12.5 MILLION AND AGAIN MANY UNREACHED PEOPLE 07:44 GROUPS. 07:45 THAT'S RIGHT. 07:46 A LOT OF UNREACHED GROUPS PLUS WITH THE CIVIL 07:47 UNREST. 07:48 YOU KNOW IF YOU RECALL YOU KNOW SUDAN HAS BEEN IN A 07:49 CIVIL WAR FOR DECADES AND THE PEOPLE FINALLY THOUGHT 08:03 WE HAVE PEACE NOW THAT SOUTH SUDAN WAS IT'S OWN 08:05 INDEPENDENT COUNTRY. 08:06 AND THEN UNREST STARTED AGAIN AND THAT'S WHEN WE 08:14 HAD YOU KNOW CLOSE TO A MILLION PEOPLE LEAVE SOUTH 08:27 SUDAN AND FLEE INTO NORTHERN UGANDA. 08:30 I FOUND THAT LATER ON THAT WE ALSO HAVE REFUGEES FROM 08:36 SOUTH SUDAN IN WESTERN ETHIOPIA. 08:39 INTERESTING. 08:40 AND YOU KNOW SPEAKING ABOUT REFUGEES THERE ARE 08:42 ALSO REFUGEES FROM ERITREA INTO NORTHERN ETHIOPIA. 08:43 YES. 08:44 SO WITH THE REFUGEES IT'S A REAL CHALLENGE BUT LIKE 08:45 WE HAVE LEARNED IN THE PAST FROM REFUGEES, ONCE 08:46 THEY ACCEPT THE GOSPEL AND THEY ARE ABLE TO GO BACK 08:48 HOME THEY SHARE THAT AND THE WORK THEN JUST 08:49 MUSHROOMS. 08:50 THAT'S THE GO TELL PART RIGHT HERE. 08:51 YES. 08:52 THAT'S THE GO TELL PART. 08:53 AND YOU MENTIONED ERITREA AND I'M ALWAYS NOT 08:54 PRONOUNCING THAT CORRECTLY. 08:55 I SAT ON A FLIGHT NEXT TO A WOMAN FROM THERE AND IT 08:56 WAS A WHOLE NEW COUNTRY AND I LIKE STUDYING THE 08:57 GLOBE AND GEOGRAPHY SO I LEARNED ABOUT A WHOLE NEW 08:59 COUNTRY. 09:00 IT'S ACTUALLY BEEN A FASCINATING COUNTRY TO 09:01 LEARN MORE ABOUT. 09:01 RIGHT. 09:02 SO HERE YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE REFUGEES, OUR 09:03 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS AND SHARE A LITTLE BIT 09:05 MORE ABOUT THIS REFUGEE WORK. 09:06 SO THE PEOPLE ARE DISPLACED FROM THEIR 09:07 COUNTRIES AND GIVE US A LITTLE BIT MORE 09:08 INFORMATION ABOUT THAT. 09:09 WELL THESE PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THE CIVIL UNREST YOU 09:10 KNOW JUST FLED. 09:11 AND A LOT OF THEM ARE EDUCATED. 09:21 A LOT OF THEM ARE BUSINESS PEOPLE. 09:33 AND THEY LEFT AND THEY HAVE NOTHING. 09:45 AND SO IN THE SLIDE THAT YOU SEE THERE THESE ARE 09:48 THE KINDS OF TENTS THAT THE UNITED NATIONS HAD SET 09:51 UP TO REGISTER ALL THESE REFUGEES THAT ARE JUST 09:59 FLOWING INTO NORTHERN UGANDA. 10:03 AND THEY HAD NOTHING. 10:07 THESE TENTS ARE YOU KNOW SHELTERS OR WHATEVER YOU 10:10 WANT TO CALL THEM, NOT ONLY REGISTERED THE 10:12 REFUGEES BUT PROVIDED TEMPORARY ACCOMMODATION 10:13 WHERE THEY CAN SLEEP UNTIL THEY WERE ASSIGNED TO A 10:16 PLACE WHERE THEY CAN THEN YOU KNOW BUILD SOMETHING 10:18 THAT IS A LITTLE MORE PERMANENT FOR THEMSELVES. 10:20 SO HOW ARE THESE TENTS, ARE THESE MEN IN ONE, 10:21 WOMEN IN THE OTHER. 10:22 ARE FAMILIES IN ONE. 10:22 THAT I DON'T KNOW. 10:23 OK. 10:24 THERE IS A WHOLE GROUP OF THEM THERE IN THOSE TYPES 10:25 OF TENTS. 10:26 OK. 10:27 WHAT'S INTERESTING NOW THAT THE REFUGEE PROBLEM 10:28 HAS KIND OF SUBSIDED THE UNITED NATIONS ACTUALLY 10:29 GAVE THOSE TWO TENTS TO THE ADVENTIST PEOPLE 10:30 THERE. 10:31 OH REALLY. 10:32 THAT'S RIGHT. 10:33 THEY HAVE A CAMP MEETING, A CHURCH. 10:34 THEY HAVE A CHURCH. 10:34 I LOVE IT. 10:35 AND JUST TO SHOW YOU WHAT THE INSIDE LOOKS LIKE, 11:24 SURE TAKE US ON A TOUR. 11:26 YES. 11:27 THERE WE MET WITH THEM ON AN AFTERNOON. 11:30 THEY WERE ACTUALLY HAVING WEEK OF PRAYER WHEN WE GOT 11:32 THERE WHICH WAS RATHER INTERESTING. 11:34 AND YOU KNOW WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH 11:36 THEM, TO TALK WITH THEM. 11:38 THESE ARE INSIDE THE FORMER REFUGEE TENTS THAT 11:41 WE JUST SAW. 11:42 THAT'S RIGHT. 11:42 OK. 11:43 AND YOU NOTICE YOU KNOW IT'S JUST POLES THAT THEY 11:45 CUT OUT COVERED WITH VINYL PLASTIC. 11:50 THESE WERE GIVEN YOU KNOW TO OUR PEOPLE UP THERE TO 11:54 USE. 11:55 BUT THAT'S WHERE THESE REFUGEES STAYED WHILE THEY 11:57 WERE BEING REGISTERED UNTIL THEY GOT THEIR OWN 12:00 PLACE WHERE THEY CAN BUILD A TYPICAL AFRICAN GRASS 12:03 HUT. 12:04 OK, GREAT. 12:04 KEEP SHARING. 12:06 SURE. 12:07 NOW THE OTHER INTERESTING THING ABOUT THESE PEOPLE 12:09 IS THEY ESTABLISHED A SCHOOL THERE. 12:13 AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE BUT WAY IN THE 12:14 BACKGROUND IS A BLACKBOARD. 12:16 AND HERE'S A LITTLER CLOSER UP PICTURE OF THIS 12:18 BLACKBOARD. 12:19 AND THAT'S THEIR SCHOOL. 12:24 SO HERE THESE PEOPLE ARE. 12:25 THEY'RE MAKING, THEY'RE MAKING HAY OUT OF 12:28 ________, THE TERM IS. 12:29 THAT'S RIGHT. 12:30 THE TERM IS. 12:31 AND HERE THEY ARE MAKING DUE WITH WHAT THEY HAVE. 12:33 WHAT THEY HAVE. 12:34 THERE'S THE BLACKBOARD. 12:35 YOU KNOW, NO SMART BOARDS, NO WHITE BOARDS. 12:38 A GOOD OLD CHALK BOARD. 12:39 BACK TO THE BASICS. 12:40 AND NOTICE THERE ARE NO DESKS. 12:42 THE STUDENTS, THE CHILDREN ACTUALLY SIT ON THE FLOOR. 12:46 AND THEY HAVE, AT THAT TIME THEY HAD NOT QUITE 12:49 600 CHILDREN IN THAT SCHOOL. 12:51 SIX HUNDRED KIDS IN THIS TENT? 12:52 WELL THEY HAD THIS ONE AND THE SECOND ONE YOU KNOW. 12:56 THE SECOND ONE OK. 12:57 AND THE CHILDREN IN ORDER NOT TO SIT ON THE FLOOR 13:00 WERE ACTUALLY BUILDING LITTLE STOOLS. 13:04 WELL GOOD FOR THEM. 13:05 AND SO THE ADVENTIST PEOPLE THERE ARE TAKING 13:06 THE INITIATIVE. 13:07 AND THEY'RE NOT THE ONLY GROUP THAT ARE HAVING 13:13 SCHOOL FOR THEIR CHILDREN BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW 13:15 HOW LONG THEY'RE GOING TO BE THERE. 13:16 SURE. 13:17 AND HOW MANY GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS ARE THERE 13:20 WORKING IN THE CAMPS HARALD. 13:22 IN THE CAMPS. 13:23 WELL WE HAVE 12 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 13:24 ONE IS RIGHT THERE IN YOU KNOW WHERE WE HAVE THESE 13:27 TWO TENTS. 13:28 BUT WE HAVE 12 IN THE OTHERS YOU KNOW IT DEPENDS 13:31 ON WHO YOU TALK TO HOW MANY CAMPS THERE ARE. 13:33 COULD BE ABOUT 15 AND WE HAVE SOME GOSPEL OUTREACH 13:35 WORKERS WHO WORK IN THREE OF THE CAMPS THAT ARE 13:37 THERE. 13:37 OK SURE. 13:38 AND THEN YOU KNOW SO WE HAD A CHANCE TO MEET 13:39 THERE. 13:40 ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STRUCK ME IMMEDIATELY AND 13:51 ALSO STRUCK ME YOU KNOW WHEN I WAS ASKED TO TAKE 13:54 THE SERVICE HERE IN THIS PARTICULAR CHURCH. 13:57 AND NOTICE AGAIN THE STRUCTURE OF THE CHURCH. 13:58 NOTHING LIKE NORTH AMERICA YOU KNOW. 14:01 AND THERE WERE ABOUT 200 PEOPLE HERE AND NOTICE ALL 14:04 THE CHILDREN. 14:05 YES, THAT'S WHAT I FIRST SAW. 14:07 A LOT OF CHILDREN, LOT OF CHILDREN. 14:09 AND YOU KNOW I KIND OF YOU KNOW JOKINGLY SAID I 14:10 DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT TRYING TO REACH THOSE 14:11 PEOPLE AT THE BACK. 14:12 THE TRANSLATOR HAD TO WORRY ABOUT THAT. 14:13 YES. 14:14 AND IT STRUCK ME YOU KNOW HOW CAN WE USE OUR CURRENT 14:15 TECHNOLOGY TO HELP THESE PEOPLE. 14:17 AND SO I ASKED YOU KNOW, OUR FIELD SECRETARY AND 14:31 THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 14:35 HOW DO YOU GET ELECTRICITY UP HERE. 14:38 YOU DRIVE IN THIS AREA AND THERE'S NO ELECTRICITY. 14:40 AND WHAT DID THEY SAY? 14:41 WE HAVE SOLAR POWER. 14:45 OUR TECHNOLOGY HAS FINALLY CAUGHT UP WITH US SO WE 14:47 CAN USE IT. 14:48 GOOD. 14:49 AND I ASKED WELL CAN WE GET SOLAR POWER PUBLIC 14:52 ADDRESS SYSTEMS SO THEY CAN USE THEM IN THEIR 14:54 CHURCHES. 14:55 AND THEY SAID YES. 14:56 GREAT. 14:57 SO I ASKED THEM HOW MUCH DOES IT COST. 15:00 THEY SAID FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS U.S. 15:04 SO I CONFIRMED THAT WITH OUR FIELD SECRETARY. 15:05 IT'S ACTUALLY SIX HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS. 15:07 AND I SHARED THIS YOU KNOW WITH VARIOUS CONGREGATIONS 15:10 THERE IN CANADA AND TO DATE HAVE ALREADY 15:12 COLLECTED SUFFICIENT FUNDS TO BUY FOUR OF THESE SETS 15:15 YOU KNOW. 15:16 WONDERFUL. 15:17 THEN I ASKED THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS OK SO WE 15:18 GET THESE FOR YOUR CHURCH THAT YOU USE YOU KNOW 15:19 EVERY WEEK. 15:20 BUT WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF YOU. 15:21 OH WE CAN USE THEM TO HAVE MEETINGS AND WE CAN SHARE. 15:22 THE BIG MEGAPHONE. 15:23 GOING AND TELLING TO THE WHOLE VILLAGE. 15:24 THAT'S RIGHT. 15:25 I LOVE IT. 15:26 YOU KNOW BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM YOU KNOW. 15:30 THEY HAVE ALL THESE PEOPLE COME TO HEAR BUT YOU KNOW 15:42 WHEN YOU'VE GOT TWO, THREE, FOUR HUNDRED. 15:43 I MEAN SOME OF THESE CAMPS YOU KNOW HAVE FIFTY 15:46 THOUSAND PEOPLE IN THEM. 15:48 YOU KNOW WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT MANY PEOPLE IN 15:50 FIFTEEN CAMPS. 15:51 WELL AND THAT IS, I'M GLAD YOU MENTIONED THIS BECAUSE 15:53 THAT IS ONE THING AS A COMMUNICATOR IN WHAT I DO 15:56 IT'S INTERESTING WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THAT I AM 15:59 CURIOUS TO KNOW WHEN WE GET TO HEAVEN WHEN JESUS 16:03 WAS FEEDING THE FIVE THOUSAND AND HOW EVERYBODY 16:05 COULD HEAR. 16:06 THAT'S RIGHT. 16:07 YOU KNOW I'M JUST VERY CURIOUS WAS HIS VOICE AT 16:09 SUCH A VOLUME, WAS EVERYBODY SO QUIET. 16:12 YOU KNOW THESE THINGS, I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THESE 16:14 THINGS. 16:14 ALRIGHT KEEP GOING. 16:16 SO THAT GOT ME EXCITED YOU KNOW AND WE'VE GOT TO 16:20 FIGURE OUT SOME WAY TO HELP THESE PEOPLE YOU KNOW 16:23 IN THOSE VILLAGES YOU KNOW TO BE ABLE TO PREACH THE 16:29 GOOD NEWS OF SALVATION. 16:30 AND YOU'VE GOT SOME MORE PICTURES HERE FOR US 16:31 HARALD. 16:32 RIGHT. 16:33 LET'S SEE. 16:34 SO HERE'S ANOTHER CHURCH I WENT TO. 16:37 AND WHAT IS INTERESTING ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR 16:39 CHURCH WHEN I WAS THERE WITH PASTOR DAVE CROOK, HE 16:43 MENTIONED THAT HE CALLED IT THE THREE-DAY CHURCH. 16:50 AND THE REASON HE CALLED IT THREE DAYS, THIS GROUP 16:52 OF PEOPLE HAD BUILT A CHURCH AND IT WAS BURNT 16:55 DOWN. 16:56 YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY DIDN'T LIKE IT. 16:58 IN THREE DAYS THEY REBUILT IT. 17:01 AND NOT ONLY THAT, I DON'T HAVE A PICTURE HERE OF THE 17:05 INSIDE, BUT IT'S BUILT ON THREE MAJOR POSTS. 17:09 SO HE CALLS IT THE THREE-DAY CHURCH OR THE 17:12 TRINITY CHURCH. 17:12 THAT'S WHAT RAN THROUGH MY MIND. 17:15 BUT THAT'S HOW ANXIOUS THESE PEOPLE ARE. 17:17 THEY DIDN'T WASTE ANY TIME. 17:18 THE NEXT GROUP THAT WE MET, THIS IS JUST A 17:23 SHELTER AND THEY ARE WORKING ON BUILDING A 17:26 CHURCH AND WE HAVE A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER 17:28 WORKING HERE WITH THESE PEOPLE. 17:29 AND JUST PAST THIS CHURCH THEY WANT TO BUILD A MORE 17:30 PERMANENT STRUCTURE. 17:31 BUT AGAIN IT WILL BE YOU KNOW NOT LIKE HERE. 17:32 YES. 17:33 WE HAVE SO MANY THINGS THAT WE TAKE FOR GRANTED 17:34 AND SO MANY THINGS THAT WE NEED TO SHARE. 17:36 GIVE US AN IDEA. 17:37 WE SEE THE PICTURES BUT I'M NOT FEELING IT, I'M 17:38 NOT TASTING IT, I'M NOT SMELLING IT. 17:39 IS IT HOT? 17:40 OBVIOUSLY THEY NEED A ROOF TO STAY OUT OF THE SUN. 17:41 GIVE US KIND OF A WEATHER CHANNEL REPORT HERE ON 17:43 WHAT THEY ARE EXPERIENCING. 17:43 UGANDA IS A NICE COUNTRY TO LIVE IN. 18:03 WE LIVED THERE TWO AND A HALF YEARS. 18:04 THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND, I'LL HAVE TO 18:07 GIVE IT IN METRIC, 26-27 DEGREES CELSIUS. 18:12 WHICH WOULD BE YOU KNOW IN OUR MID TO HIGH SEVENTIES. 18:16 FAHRENHEIT. 18:18 VERY COMFORTABLE. 18:18 WE DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT. 18:20 YOU HAVE YOUR RAINS THAT COME IN YOU KNOW IN THEIR 18:24 SEASONS. 18:25 THEY COME IN FOR AN HOUR AN HOUR AND A HALF A DAY 18:27 VERY PREDICTABLE. 18:29 SO YOU NEED A SHELTER. 18:30 THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING, THE SUN, THE 18:32 RAIN. 18:32 OK, SO VERY IMPORTANT. 18:34 IN TERMS OF HIGH HUMIDITY NOT A PROBLEM. 18:37 OK. 18:38 ALRIGHT. 18:39 IT'S NOT LIKE IN THE SAHARA DESERT OR SOMEWHERE 18:42 LIKE THAT. 18:43 WELL IT'S NOT THE SAHARA DESERT AND IT'S NOT NEW 18:44 YORK YOU KNOW WHERE YOU HAVE THAT HIGH HUMIDITY IN 18:46 THE SUMMER. 18:47 YOU DON'T HAVE THAT THERE. 18:48 WELL THAT KIND OF GIVES US AN IDEA BUT STILL WE WANT 18:51 PEOPLE WHO ARE COMING TOGETHER TO WORSHIP THE 18:54 LORD TO BE UNDER SOME KIND OF A SHELTER TO PROTECT 18:57 THEM JUST FROM THE DIRECT SUN. 18:59 YES, OK. 19:00 ANYMORE PICTURES HERE? 19:01 YES. 19:02 SO HERE'S THE GROUP OF THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS 19:04 THAT WORK IN THESE REFUGEE CAMPS. 19:07 AND WE HAD A GOOD TIME TOGETHER TO SHARE 19:08 EXPERIENCES. 19:09 AND WE SAID WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR CHALLENGES. 19:13 AND ONE OF THE CHALLENGES IS KEEPING THEIR BICYCLES 19:18 OPERATING. 19:19 SO WE SAID WELL WHAT'S HAPPENING. 19:22 THEY SAID WELL WE USE THE BICYCLES SO MUCH THAT OUR 19:24 TIRES WEAR OUT. 19:25 WOW. 19:26 AND BOTH PASTOR DAVE AND I YOU KNOW WE HAD SOME MONEY 19:30 ALONG AND SO RIGHT THERE ON THE SPOT WE BOUGHT ALL 19:34 OF OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS IN THAT AREA A NEW 19:37 SET OF TIRES AND TUBES SO THAT THEY CAN KEEP 19:40 WORKING. 19:41 BECAUSE WE SAID WHAT'S THE POINT OF HAVING A BICYCLE 19:43 IF IT'S SITTING THERE BECAUSE IT HAS WORN OUT 19:45 FLAT TIRES. 19:46 AND THEY ARE PROBABLY HAVING TO GO DISTANCES TO 19:48 SEE PEOPLE. 19:49 THAT'S RIGHT YOU KNOW. 19:50 THROUGHOUT THE CAMP AND FROM CAMP TO CAMP. 19:53 AND SO THEY WERE APPRECIATIVE OF THAT. 19:56 AND YOU KNOW HARALD, I WAS JUST THINKING WHEN WAS THE 19:58 LAST TIME YOU TALKED TO YOUR PASTOR IN NORTH 20:00 AMERICA AND SAID YOU KNOW WHAT, I REALLY NEED NEW 20:03 TIRES ON MY BICYCLE. 20:04 YOU KNOW, I MEAN BUT THIS IS REAL LEGITIMATE NEEDS 20:08 FOR THEM. 20:08 THAT'S RIGHT. 20:09 SO GOD BLESS THEM FOR GETTING OUT ON THEIR 20:11 BIKES. 20:12 AND WE ALSO HAD BROUGHT CLOTHING ALONG. 20:15 IN FACT WE EVEN BROUGHT THREE ONE HUNDRED POUND 20:20 BALES OF CLOTHING TO GIVE TO OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH 20:22 WORKERS. 20:23 SO HERE WE DIVVIED IT UP. 20:24 AND THEY ARE GOING TO PUT THOSE BAGS ON THEIR 20:27 BICYCLES TO TAKE HOME. 20:29 SURE AND THEY WILL PROBABLY DO JUST FINE. 20:31 THAT'S RIGHT. 20:32 AND BE ABLE TO SHARE YOU KNOW WITH THEIR FAMILIES, 20:35 WITH THE WIDOWS, WITH THE HANDICAPPED. 20:37 AND THEY WERE MOST APPRECIATIVE. 20:39 BUT ON THE SERIOUS SIDE WE SAID WHAT ABOUT PREACHING 20:43 OF THE WORD. 20:44 AND YOU KNOW WE HAVE AN ABUNDANCE OF LITERATURE IN 20:48 THIS COUNTRY. 20:49 YES WE DO. 20:50 YOU CAN GO TO WALMART AND BUY A BIBLE. 20:52 AND OFTEN TIMES IT SITS ON THE DESK ON THE SHELVES 20:55 EVEN IN OUR CHURCHES COLLECTING DUST. 20:58 THEY HAVE VERY LITTLE. 20:59 AND SO THE LOCAL FIELD SECRETARY HAD PREPARED A 21:00 SET OF BIBLE LESSONS AND WE WERE ABLE TO GET THEM 21:03 ALL A SET OF BIBLE LESSONS THAT THEY CAN TAKE OUT AND 21:07 USE YOU KNOW WITH THEIR BIBLES. 21:11 AND THEY WILL USE THEM. 21:13 THAT'S RIGHT. 21:14 WHEN WE WERE IN UGANDA MY PARENTS SENT YOU KNOW 21:18 THROUGH THE MAIL USED SIGNS OF THE TIMES AND 21:20 THIS TYPE OF THING AND IT WAS REPORTED THAT THOSE 21:24 MAGAZINES WOULD GO THROUGH AT LEAST SEVEN HANDS 21:26 BEFORE IT FINALLY HAD TO BE DISCARDED. 21:31 DOGGED EARED, WELL READ, SUN BLEACHED, TORN, YOU 21:35 NAME IT, WATER GOT ON IT. 21:38 BUT THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD BE. 21:39 I MEAN EVERY BIBLE OF OURS SHOULD BE AND I HEARD 21:43 THERE'S A PASTOR WHO MADE A COMMENT ABOUT A WELL 21:47 WORN BIBLE IS SOMEONE WHOSE LIFE, I'M NOT SAYING 21:50 IT WELL, BUT THEIR LIFE IS TOGETHER BECAUSE THEIR 21:53 BIBLE IS SO WORN. 21:55 AND SO IT WAS JUST A PLEASURE. 21:57 YOU KNOW THE EXCITEMENT THAT THESE WORKERS. 21:59 THEY SAID YOU KNOW THEY ARE OUT THERE PREACHING 22:03 AND SHARING. 22:03 ONE OF THE OTHER INTERESTING THINGS IS AND 22:05 I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER SEEN THE 22:09 MISSION SPOTLIGHTS YOU KNOW ESPECIALLY OF EASTERN 22:11 EUROPE. 22:12 OUR PIONEER GLOBAL MISSIONARIES FOR EXAMPLE 22:14 YOU KNOW HAVING A SOCCER BALL AND GOING OUT AND 22:16 PLAYING SOCCER WITH THE LOCALS. 22:18 AND THEY WERE HAVING THE SAME CHALLENGES. 22:20 SO RIGHT ON THE SPOT WE BOUGHT THEM SOME SOCCER 22:22 BALLS TO TAKE BACK HOME BECAUSE EITHER THEIR 22:24 SOCCER BALL WAS WORN OUT AND BROKEN AND PUNCTURED 22:27 AND ALL THE REST OF IT OR THEY JUST NEEDED IT SO 22:30 THEY CAN REACH THE YOUNG PEOPLE YOU KNOW IN THEIR 22:32 VILLAGES. 22:33 GOOD. 22:34 AND YOU'VE GOT A COUPLE MORE PHOTOS FOR US. 22:35 YES. 22:37 WHILE WE WERE IN SOUTH SUDAN AND JUBA WE DIDN'T 22:40 SPEND TOO MUCH TIME THERE BUT THE ISSUE OF BICYCLES 22:44 CAME UP AGAIN AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO LEAVE SOME 22:47 MONEY WITH THEM AND ON THIS PARTICULAR PICTURE IS 22:50 JUST AN ARTICLE OF GRATITUDE TO THE TWO 22:52 GLOBAL MISSIONARIES WHO RECEIVED A BICYCLE SO THAT 22:54 THEY CAN GO OUT AND WORK AND SHARE THE GOSPEL THERE 23:00 IN SOUTH SUDAN. 23:03 FROM THERE WE WENT TO ETHIOPIA AND WE SPENT A 23:05 FEW DAYS THERE MEETING WITH THE GOSPEL OUTREACH 23:10 WORKERS. 23:11 THE UNION SECRETARY HAD INVITED ALL OF THEM IN. 23:14 MOST OF THEM WERE IN AND WE MET WITH THEM. 23:18 ONE OF THE CHALLENGES IS HOW TO REACH THE MUSLIMS 23:21 AND HOW TO REACH THE COPTICS. 23:22 AND SO ONE DAY WE HAD TRAINING ON HOW TO REACH 23:26 THE MUSLIMS. 23:28 I HAD A LITTLE DIFFICULTY UNDERSTANDING THE LANGUAGE 23:30 BECAUSE IT'S IN THE LOCAL LANGUAGE AND SOMEBODY 23:31 TRIED TO TRANSLATE FOR ME. 23:33 AND THE NEXT THING HOW TO REACH THE COPTIC. 23:35 BUT AGAIN THEY ARE VERY ATTENTIVE, VERY EXCITED TO 23:40 GO FORTH. 23:41 AND SO WE ASKED THEM THE SAME QUESTION, WHAT DO YOU 23:44 NEED TO WORK IN THE FIELD. 23:47 AND THEY SAID WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SPIRIT OF 23:49 PROPHECY BOOKS. 23:51 IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE, NOT IN ENGLISH YOU KNOW. 23:55 YES THEY CAN SPEAK SOME ENGLISH BUT YOU KNOW, 23:57 THEIR OWN LANGUAGE. 23:59 AND SO WE SAID WHAT'S AVAILABLE. 24:02 AND I NOTICED THAT AT THE UNION COMPOUND THEY HAVE 24:05 AN ABC, NOTHING LIKE YOUR ABC WE HAVE HERE. 24:08 IT'S JUST A LITTLE ROOM MAYBE ONE HUNDRED, HUNDRED 24:11 FIFTY SQUARE FEET. 24:12 NOT A BIG CHRISTIAN BOOK STORE. 24:13 NO. 24:14 AND THEY SAID WELL WE HAVE DESIRE OF AGES, THERE'S 24:17 THE GREAT CONTROVERSY, THERE IS STEPS TO CHRIST 24:19 AND THERE WERE A COUPLE OF OTHER ISSUES THAT THEY 24:21 HAD. 24:22 SOME WERE OUT OF PRINT OUT OF STOCK. 24:24 WE SAID OK, DAVE AND I WE TALKED ABOUT IT. 24:28 HE SAID TOMORROW YOU GO OVER TO THE ABC AND YOU 24:30 ALL CAN PICK ONE BOOK AND WE'LL PAY FOR IT. 24:33 OH GOOD. 24:34 AND SO THEY WERE EXCITED TO GO OVER TO THE ABC AND 24:37 PICK UP THEIR BOOK AND BE ABLE TO TAKE IT HOME. 24:42 SURE, SURE. 24:43 SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN DO THAT YOU KNOW IN THE 24:45 FUTURE. 24:45 EXACTLY. 24:46 WHAT'S THIS PHOTO HERE HARALD. 24:48 THIS IS THE GROUP OF ABOUT 28 GOSPEL OUTREACH 24:50 WORKERS. 24:51 WE HAVE 32 ALL TOGETHER BUT FROM THE NORTH THEY 24:54 WEREN'T ABLE TO COME BUT YOU NOTICE HOW ATTENTIVE 24:57 THEY WERE. 24:58 AND EVEN IN THE MORNING, WE WERE THERE DURING THE 25:00 YEAR-END MEETINGS WITH THE UNION PEOPLE, AND THEY 25:03 WERE THERE JOINING TOGETHER IN WORSHIP 25:06 SHOWING THE SUPPORT THAT THEY PROVIDE FOR THESE 25:09 ______. 25:10 THIS IS ANOTHER ONE FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. 25:15 JUST LISTENING AND WORKING AND IT WAS GOOD TO MEET 25:19 WITH THEM. 25:19 GOOD. 25:20 THE OTHER CHALLENGE WHICH WE HAVE IN THESE COUNTRIES 25:24 IS TELECOMMUNICATION. 25:26 YOU KNOW I MENTIONED ABOUT YOU KNOW HOW TECHNOLOGY 25:28 CAN BE USED. 25:31 BUT WE'RE ADVISED THAT THERE ARE SOME OF THE 25:33 FIELDS THEY JUST DO NOT HAVE A LAPTOP IN THEIR 25:37 OFFICE. 25:38 AND HOW DO WE DO WORK WITHOUT COMMUNICATION. 25:42 BECAUSE THAT IS BIG TIME HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH. 25:44 REGIONAL DIRECTORS ARE EMAILING GOSPEL OUTREACH 25:47 WORKERS, THERE IS COMMUNICATION BACK AND 25:49 FORTH. 25:49 THAT'S RIGHT. 25:50 AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO BRING FOUR LAPTOPS OVER. 25:55 ONLY ONE PLACE AT CUSTOMS DID THEY EVEN ASK ME ABOUT 26:00 DO I HAVE LAPTOPS IN MY SUITCASE. 26:03 I SAID YES I HAVE FOUR OF THEM AND THEY LET ME GO 26:07 THROUGH WITH THEM. 26:08 AND THEN WE HAD SUFFICIENT MONEY TO BUY SOME PRINTERS 26:11 FOR THEM. 26:11 GOOD. 26:13 AND YOU SAW THEM THERE AND YOU KNOW THEY WERE SO 26:17 APPRECIATIVE TO BE ABLE TO GO HOME. 26:19 AND THERE ARE THE GENTLEMEN FROM THE FIELD. 26:20 OH AND LOOK AT THOSE SMILES. 26:21 YES. 26:22 AND JUST A COUPLE OF QUICK PRESENTING THEM THE 26:27 LAPTOPS. 26:28 AND THIS ONE I THINK IS THE NEXT ONE. 26:33 GOOD. 26:34 WELL WE'RE SO GLAD THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO DO THAT 26:36 AND WE'RE SO GLAD THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO BE THERE AND 26:38 WE WILL CONTINUE TO ASK OUR VIEWERS TO PRAY AND 26:41 SUPPORT BECAUSE THOSE LAPTOPS NEED TO BE 26:44 PURCHASED AND ALL OF THAT. 26:46 WELL HARALD GOD BLESS YOU. 26:47 THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. 26:48 WELCOME TO THE TEAM AND GLAD THAT YOU'RE BACK HOME 26:50 IN UGANDA AS WELL. 26:51 RIGHT.

AND 27:08 TELLING. 27:09 AND THAT'S WHAT JESUS ASKS US TO DO AND WE WANT TO 27:11 SAY THANK YOU FOR PARTNERING WITH US. 27:13 PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE GOAIM.ORG ON FACEBOOK AND 27:16 INSTAGRAM AND
