WHICH IS MOSTLY ENGLISH
SPEAKING AND HE HAD ALL OF
00:05:01.20\00:05:04.63
WEST AFRICA AND IT IS
JUST IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO
00:05:04.67\00:05:08.00
COVER IT ALL SO,
GOSPEL OUTREACH ASKED ME TO BE
00:05:08.04\00:05:11.07

WHICH INCLUDES THE FRENCH

FRENCH SPEAKING AFRICAN
00:05:14.04\00:05:17.25
COUNTRIES OF WEST AFRICA.
00:05:17.28\00:05:19.85
OK.
00:05:19.88\00:05:20.95
AND SO, THIS WAS OUR
FIRST STOP HERE IN GABON AND WE
00:05:20.98\00:05:26.15
MET THE MISSION
LEADERS, THEY FED US WELL.
00:05:26.19\00:05:30.26
THEY FOUND GOOD
ACCOMMODATIONS FOR US AND
00:05:30.29\00:05:32.83
MADE SURE WE HAD
INTERNET SO WE COULD COMMUNICATE
00:05:32.86\00:05:37.30
WITH OUR WIVES.
00:05:37.33\00:05:38.77
GOOD, GOOD ALL THE
IMPORTANT THINGS, BECAUSE
00:05:38.80\00:05:41.07

MISSIONS, CORRECT,

COMMUNICATE WITH
MISSION LEADERS AND THEN WE LOOK
00:06:02.59\00:06:08.40
AT THE REPORTS AND
THE ACCOUNTING AND THEN WE
00:06:08.43\00:06:12.07
GATHER THE WORKERS
TOGETHER AND WE TRAIN
00:06:12.10\00:06:15.87
THEM-TEACH THEM HOW TO
GIVE THE GOSPEL TO SOME;
00:06:15.90\00:06:18.97
HOW TO RECEIVE THE HOLY
SPIRIT, TO TEACH THEM HOW
00:06:19.01\00:06:22.88
TO TELL BIBLE STORIES.
00:06:22.91\00:06:24.08
THIS WAS OUR MAIN
EMPHASIS WAS BIBLE STORY
00:06:24.11\00:06:28.92
EVANGELISM.
00:06:28.95\00:06:29.82
AND THAT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT BECAUSE AGAIN,
00:06:29.85\00:06:31.32
YOU KNOW FOR MANY OF US
WHO HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO
00:06:31.35\00:06:33.96
HAVE GROWN UP AS
CHRISTIANS WE'VE BEEN ABLE
00:06:33.99\00:06:36.62
TO STUDY THE BIBLE BUT
FOR A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE THIS
00:06:36.66\00:06:38.99
IS ALL NEW TO THEM.
00:06:39.03\00:06:40.86
I MEAN THEY ARE, MANY
OF THEM ARE NEW CHRISTIANS
00:06:40.90\00:06:43.70
THEMSELVES.
00:06:43.73\00:06:44.73
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:06:44.77\00:06:46.03
SO, TRAINING IS SO
IMPORTANT FOR THESE
00:06:46.07\00:06:47.67
PEOPLE.
00:06:47.70\00:06:48.70
A LOT OF THEIR
BACKGROUND HAS BEEN MORE OR LESS
00:06:48.74\00:06:50.64
LEGALISTIC YOU KNOW,
AND KIND OF EARNING THEIR
00:06:50.67\00:06:53.68
SALVATION AND IT WAS
GOOD NEWS-THAT'S THE GOSPEL
00:06:53.71\00:06:56.38
RIGHT?
00:06:56.41\00:06:57.48
YES.
00:06:57.51\00:06:58.31
TO DISCOVER THAT
SALVATION IS A GIFT.
00:06:58.35\00:07:00.68
IT IS A GIFT AND THIS
IS WHAT WE FIND IN 1 JOHN
00:07:00.72\00:07:06.29
5:11-13, YES, YES,
SAYING HOW IT IS A GIFT AND DO
00:07:06.32\00:07:10.66
YOU WANT TO READ THAT?
00:07:10.69\00:07:14.73
I DO AND IT SAYS HERE.
00:07:14.73\00:07:16.10
"AND THIS IS THE
TESTIMONY, GOD HAS GIVEN
00:07:16.13\00:07:17.43
US ETERNAL LIFE AND
THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON.
00:07:17.47\00:07:19.83
WHOEVER HAS THE SON HAS LIFE.
00:07:19.87\00:07:21.87
WHOEVER DOES NOT HAVE
THE SON OF GOD DOES NOT HAVE
00:07:21.90\00:07:24.44
LIFE."
00:07:24.47\00:07:25.51
IT GOES ON TO VERSE 13
"I WRITE THESE THINGS TO YOU
00:07:25.54\00:07:29.24
WHO BELIEVE IN THE NAME
OF THE SON OF GOD SO THAT YOU
00:07:29.28\00:07:31.91
MAY KNOW THAT YOU
HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
00:07:31.95\00:07:34.45
THIS IS THE CONFIDENCE
WE HAVE IN APPROACHING GOD
00:07:34.48\00:07:36.05
THAT IF WE ASK ANYTHING
ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, HE
00:07:36.08\00:07:38.32
HEARS US AND IF WE KNOW
THAT HE HEARS US WHATEVER
00:07:38.35\00:07:42.26
WE ASK WE KNOW THAT WE
HAVE WHAT WE HAVE ASKED OF
00:07:42.29\00:07:44.49
HIM."
00:07:44.53\00:07:46.59
AMEN.
00:07:46.63\00:07:48.10
AND WE ARE ASKING FOR
MORE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS
00:07:48.13\00:07:50.77
TO, YES, SHARE MORE OF JESUS.
00:07:50.80\00:07:53.47
THAT'S REALLY NEAT AND
GABON REALLY NEEDS MORE
00:07:53.50\00:07:55.04
WORKERS THEY ARE TAKING
THESE FOUR GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:07:55.07\00:07:57.54
WORKERS AND PLANNING
TO PUT THEM INTO PASTOR
00:07:57.57\00:08:00.34
POSITIONS AND THEN
THEY WILL REPLACE THEM WITH
00:08:00.38\00:08:03.91
OTHER GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS.
00:08:03.95\00:08:05.31
SO, THESE GUYS ARE KIND
OF IN TRAINING, SURE, TO
00:08:05.35\00:08:08.45
BECOME PASTORS, SURE,
SURE AND SO AS WE VISIT THEM,
00:08:08.48\00:08:12.42
VISIT WITH THE MISSION
LEADERS I HAD A CHANCE TO
00:08:12.45\00:08:15.49
PREACH TO THE LOCAL
CONGREGATION, IN FRENCH?
00:08:15.52\00:08:18.79
IN FRENCH, YES,
THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN.
00:08:18.83\00:08:21.50
IT WAS A LOT OF FUN TO
SPEAK TO THEM IN FRENCH.
00:08:21.53\00:08:24.30
I PREPARED A HANDOUT
ON THE GOSPEL PRESENTATION
00:08:24.33\00:08:27.84
AND HOW TO RECEIVE
ASSURANCE OF ETERNAL LIFE
00:08:27.87\00:08:30.14
AND IN THAT
SABBATH MORNING THEY HAD A
00:08:30.17\00:08:34.51
WONDERFUL SONG WE COULD
MAYBE WE COULD LISTEN TO,
00:08:34.54\00:08:40.32
YES, SURE, TO THE
CHOIR SINGING THAT SONG IF WE
00:08:40.35\00:08:43.08
CAN GET IT GOING HERE.
00:08:43.12\00:08:45.92
SO, WHILE THEY ARE SINGING
IT JUST REMINDS ME OF THE
00:08:45.95\00:08:51.23
SONGS THAT I USED TO
SING IN CHOIRS IN COLONGE AND
00:08:59.13\00:09:03.84
IN OUR SCHOOLS IN BURUNDI,
RAWANDA AND IT REALLY MADE
00:09:03.87\00:09:08.21
ME FEEL AT HOME TO HEAR
THEM SINGING THESE HYMNS.
00:09:08.24\00:09:12.71
COLONGE IS A SCHOOL IN
FRANCE WHERE YOU ATTENDED
00:09:12.75\00:09:15.42
TO COLLEGE.
00:09:15.45\00:09:16.62
HOW LONG WERE YOU THERE A YEAR?
00:09:16.65\00:09:17.89
TWO YEARS.
00:09:17.92\00:09:19.39
TWO YEARS, SO I DO WANT
TO SAY SOMETHING HERE THAT
00:09:19.42\00:09:22.66
YOU AND YOUR WIFE, OH
BEAUTIFUL WOMEN SINGING
00:09:22.69\00:09:25.19
THERE.
00:09:25.23\00:09:26.26
IT IS AND WOMEN
ARE IN LEADERSHIP.
00:09:26.29\00:09:28.53
SO MUCH OF THEM IN
TOGO THE TREASURER FOR THE
00:09:28.56\00:09:30.27
MISSION IS A LADY AND SHE
WAS OUR CHAUFFEUR IN FACT.
00:09:30.30\00:09:33.80
TAKING US TO THE
RESTAURANT WHEN WE WERE
00:09:33.84\00:09:38.84
THERE.
00:09:38.87\00:09:39.84
FABULOUS, AND IT LOOKS
LIKE -WAS IT GRADUATION?
00:09:39.87\00:09:43.85
NO, IT WAS THEIR CHOIR REGALIA.
00:09:43.88\00:09:46.95
CHOIR REGALIA.
00:09:46.98\00:09:48.48
OK, WELL THEY LOOK FANTASTIC.
00:09:48.52\00:09:50.09
I DO WANT TO BRING THIS
UP THOUGH THAT I THINK THAT
00:09:50.12\00:09:56.36
YOU AND YOUR WIFE ARE
AN EXCEPTION OF PEOPLE WHO
00:09:56.39\00:09:57.83

KNOW THE LANGUAGE, THEY
KNOW THE CULTURE AND THEY
00:10:02.96\00:10:05.60
KNOW ALL OF THAT AND
WHAT A BLESSING FOR YOU AND
00:10:05.63\00:10:08.00
YOUR WIFE AND YOUR
MINISTRY THAT YOU BOTH ARE
00:10:08.04\00:10:09.47
BILINGUAL BUT THAT TAKES
A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT FOR
00:10:09.50\00:10:13.61
WESTERNERS TO MOVE
TO A COUNTRY, LEARN THE
00:10:13.64\00:10:16.31
LANGUAGE AND ALL OF
THAT AND THAT'S WHY HERE AT
00:10:16.34\00:10:19.25
GOSPEL OUTREACH BY
HAVING INDIGENOUS WORKERS THAT
00:10:19.28\00:10:21.92
KIND OF SEPARATES US
FROM MANY ORGANIZATIONS AND BY
00:10:21.95\00:10:24.92
HAVING THOSE PEOPLE
THERE THEN THEY ARE ABLE TO
00:10:24.95\00:10:28.16
COMMUNICATE DIRECTLY WITH
THEIR PEOPLE THAT THEY RUB
00:10:28.19\00:10:31.06
SHOULDERS WITH.
00:10:31.09\00:10:32.06
WE CAN ALSO UNDERSTAND
THEIR CULTURE A LITTLE
00:10:32.09\00:10:34.63
BETTER BECAUSE WE WERE
MISSIONARIES IN AFRICA FOR
00:10:34.66\00:10:37.53
16 YEARS.
00:10:37.57\00:10:38.23
YES, YES.
00:10:38.27\00:10:39.30
SO, IT IS JUST -AS I SIT
HERE IN THIS CHAIR AND HOW
00:10:39.33\00:10:43.67
SO MANY REGIONAL
DIRECTORS, SO MANY OF US
00:10:43.71\00:10:46.14
WHO HAVE LIVED IN THIS
10/40 WINDOW AND THEN TO
00:10:46.17\00:10:49.24
BE INVOLVED IN IT NOW
HOW GOD HAS PREPARED US ALL
00:10:49.28\00:10:52.68
FOR THAT.
00:10:52.71\00:10:53.35
UH HUH.
00:10:53.38\00:10:54.42
IT IS NEAT BUT A SPECIAL
BLESSING THAT YOU DO SPEAK
00:10:54.45\00:10:57.35
FRENCH FLUENTLY.
00:10:57.39\00:10:58.02
OK, KEEP IT GOING.
00:10:58.05\00:10:59.22
OK WELL, FROM GABON WE
FLEW TO TOGO AND THERE WE
00:10:59.25\00:11:02.32
MET WITH PASTOR
GARMETE, HE IS THE PRESIDENT AND
00:11:02.36\00:11:03.69
HIS ADMINISTRATION
ALONG WITH SIXTEEN GOSPEL
00:11:03.73\00:11:05.03
OUTREACH WORKERS AND WE
MET WITH THEM AND REVIEWED
00:11:05.06\00:11:06.36
THEIR REPORTS AND ALSO,
WE HAD A CHANCE TO DO SOME
00:11:06.39\00:11:13.03
TRAINING WITH THESE GUYS.
00:11:13.07\00:11:16.17
THEN FROM TOGO THE MISSION
PRESIDENT IN BENIN CAME IN
00:11:16.20\00:11:21.28
HIS CAR OR THE MISSION
CAR WITH HIS TREASURER-DROVE
00:11:24.08\00:11:29.15
FROM BENIN OVER TO LOMEI
PICKED US UP AND DROVE US
00:11:31.12\00:11:36.66
OVER INTO BENIN.
00:11:36.69\00:11:38.26
WOW, YOU WERE EVERYWHERE.
00:11:38.29\00:11:39.29
AND SO, WE WERE ABLE TO
ENJOY THE RIDE AND ALONG
00:11:39.33\00:11:43.97
THE WAY THEY POINTED
OUT A PLACE WHERE THERE WAS
00:11:44.00\00:11:47.20
SLAVE TRADE GOING ON
WHERE THE SLAVES WERE BEING SOLD
00:11:47.24\00:11:49.90
TO THE SLAVE TRADERS
ALONG THAT COAST YOU KNOW, AND
00:11:49.94\00:11:53.11
SO THAT WAS A LITTLE
REMINDER OF WHAT KIND OF
00:11:53.14\00:11:56.71
LIFE WAS GOING ON
BACK IN THOSE DAYS.
00:11:56.75\00:11:58.55
GLAD THAT IS NOT HAPPENING NOW.
00:11:58.58\00:12:00.28
VERY, VERY DIFFICULT.
00:12:00.32\00:12:01.42
AND SO, WE GOT TO TOGO
AND WE WERE ABLE TO VISIT WITH
00:12:01.45\00:12:05.02
THE GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS THERE - LOOK AT
00:12:05.05\00:12:09.32
THE KIDS.
00:12:09.36\00:12:10.39
ON SABBATH MORNING, THE
MISSION PRESIDENT TOOK US
00:12:10.43\00:12:12.63
OUT TO GOSPEL OUTREACH
CHURCH PLANT AND THE KIDS
00:12:12.66\00:12:15.76
WERE ENJOYING SABBATH
SCHOOL SINGING OUTSIDE OF
00:12:15.80\00:12:22.50
THE HOME.
00:12:22.54\00:12:24.84
IT IS A HOUSE CHURCH.
00:12:24.87\00:12:25.84
AND THEN WHEN WE WENT
INSIDE WE WERE GREETED
00:12:25.87\00:12:29.64
WITH A LITTLE GROUP
THAT WAS MEETING IN THERE AND
00:12:29.68\00:12:34.52
THERE THEY WERE SINGING.
00:12:34.55\00:12:36.48
OH.
00:12:36.52\00:12:37.55
AND THIS IS THE SOUND
THAT COMES FROM THEIR SINGING
00:12:37.59\00:12:41.52
-THIS IS SO AFRICAN AND
SO THEY LOVE TO JUST GET THE
00:12:41.56\00:12:46.63
RHTHYM GOING IN THERE
AND HAVING THE JOY OF JESUS.
00:12:48.86\00:12:54.27
OH YES.
00:12:54.30\00:12:55.57
CLAPPING HANDS.
00:12:55.60\00:12:56.54
YES.
00:12:56.57\00:12:57.57
AND DURING THAT TIME
THERE WAS A SABBATH SCHOOL
00:12:57.61\00:12:59.44
PRESENTATION AND THEN
GLEN DECIDED TO SPEAK ABOUT THE
00:12:59.47\00:13:04.61
PRODIGAL SON AND SO
HE USED THE METHOD OF
00:13:07.28\00:13:11.25
"PRULAPS".
00:13:11.29\00:13:12.32
YOU MAY WANT TO KNOW
WHAT THE ACRONYM OF PRULAPSING
00:13:12.35\00:13:15.82
A BIBLE STORY.
00:13:15.86\00:13:17.39
THE "P" WORD IS PRAY
FIRST AND THE "R" WORD WOULD BE
00:13:17.43\00:13:21.33
READ THE STORY, UH HUH,
AND THEN THE "U" WORD WAS
00:13:21.36\00:13:25.97
UNDERSTAND WHAT IS
GOING ON IN THE STORY THE "L"
00:13:26.00\00:13:27.30
WORD WOULD BE TO LEARN
THE LESSONS THAT WE HAVE
00:13:27.34\00:13:28.64
GLEANED FROM THE STORY,
THE "A" WORD IS APPLY- HOW
00:13:28.67\00:13:33.74
ARE YOU GOING TO APPLY
THESE LESSONS IN YOUR LIFE
00:13:38.41\00:13:41.62
AND THEN THE YOU FINISH
WITH PRAYER THEN YOU ASK
00:13:41.65\00:13:46.02
HOW MANY OF YOU CAN
NOW TELL THIS STORY BACK IN
00:13:46.05\00:13:49.59
YOUR VILLAGE?
00:13:49.62\00:13:50.29
SURE.
00:13:50.33\00:13:51.43
AND SO, THAT'S HE TOLD
THE STORY OF THE PRODIGAL SON.
00:13:51.46\00:13:56.56
HE BROUGHT ONE OF THE
KIDS UP AND HAD HIM STAND ON A
00:13:56.60\00:13:58.97
CHAIR PRETENDING LIKE HE
IS THE FATHER LOOKING OUT,
00:13:59.00\00:14:01.67
OH YES, FOR HIS SON
COMING SO HE TRIED TO GET SOME
00:14:01.70\00:14:04.17
ACTION GOING AND WE
ASKED AFTER THE STORY WAS TOLD
00:14:04.21\00:14:09.28
IF THERE WAS SOMEONE
WHO WAS ILLITERATE, UH HUH,
00:14:15.72\00:14:18.89
WHO COULD TELL THE STORY AGAIN?
00:14:18.92\00:14:20.62
OH, AND DID SOMEONE DO THAT?
00:14:20.66\00:14:23.09
AND PEOPLE POINTED THEIR
FINGER AT THIS FELLOW WHO
00:14:23.12\00:14:26.83
WAS SITTING ON THE BACK
SEAT AND SO SAID HE CAN DO
00:14:26.86\00:14:31.20
THIS.
00:14:31.23\00:14:32.23
AND SO, HE CAME
FORWARD AND HE TOLD THE STORY
00:14:32.27\00:14:33.94
VERBATIM AND YOU CAN
SEE THEM APPLAUDING IN THE
00:14:33.97\00:14:40.31
BACKGROUND THERE
BECAUSE HE DID SUCH A GOOD JOB.
00:14:40.34\00:14:43.04
BUT THAT IS FASCINATING
TO ME BECAUSE IN THESE
00:14:43.08\00:14:45.61
CULTURES STORIES ARE
SO IMPORTANT AND, IN THE
00:14:45.65\00:14:47.25
BIBLE, YES, IT WAS THE
LISTENING AND THE HEARING
00:14:47.28\00:14:48.58
AND THE RECITING
AND THAT'S WHY WITH
00:14:48.62\00:14:49.92
STORYTELLING AND I'M
INTO BIBLE STORIES THAT'S WHY
00:14:49.95\00:14:51.25
IT IS SO
IMPORTANT-IT IS SO IMPORTANT.
00:14:51.29\00:14:52.59
YOU KNOW, WE'VE HEARD
THIS STORY OF THE PRODIGAL SON
00:14:52.62\00:14:54.96
EVERY SINCE WE CAN
REMEMBER, YOU KNOW, BUT
00:14:54.99\00:14:56.29
THESE PEOPLE THAT
DAY HEARD IT FOR THE VERY
00:14:56.32\00:14:57.69
FIRST TIME.
00:14:57.73\00:14:59.63
YES.
00:14:59.66\00:15:00.70
OH JOHN, THAT'S FANTASTIC.
00:15:00.73\00:15:04.53
AND SO, IT WAS
EXCITING FOR US TO SEE HOW THIS
00:15:04.57\00:15:09.64
METHOD OF EVANGELISM
OF BIBLE STORYTELLING.
00:15:15.21\00:15:21.25
YOU KNOW, HE SAID THAT
HE WOULD NOW TAKE THAT STORY
00:15:21.28\00:15:23.95
AND TELL IT IN HIS VILLAGE
AND SEVERAL OTHERS IN THAT
00:15:23.99\00:15:27.59
GROUP RAISED THEIR
HANDS AND SAID THEY'D GO TO
00:15:27.62\00:15:30.09
THEIR VILLAGES AND
THEY CAN TELL THE SAME STORY
00:15:30.13\00:15:31.93
TOO.
00:15:31.96\00:15:32.96
AND THEN THEY CAN
START A GROUP THERE IN THEIR
00:15:32.99\00:15:35.46
VILLAGE TELLING STORIES.
00:15:35.50\00:15:36.80
WELL, WE ALL LOVE STORIES
AND WE THANK YOU FOR BEING

WHY HASN'T JESUS COME?
00:15:48.28\00:15:49.78
IT IS BECAUSE WE
HAVE A JOB TO DO.
00:15:49.81\00:15:52.71
ONE THAT HIS RETURN DEPENDS ON.
00:15:52.75\00:15:54.78
THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT
CHRIST WILL COME AFTER THE
00:15:54.82\00:15:57.75
GOSPEL HAS BEEN
PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD.
00:15:57.79\00:16:01.26

AND MEET WITH THE GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS IS TO DO
00:18:38.75\00:18:40.72
WHAT?
00:18:40.75\00:18:41.82
IT IS TO TRAIN WORKERS,

WELL, THE NEXT THING
IS ABOUT A GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:19:12.85\00:19:16.05
WORKER WHO WAS CREATIVE
AND HE NEEDED TO REACH OUT
00:19:16.08\00:19:21.19
TO THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY
AND SO HIS COMMUNITY IS
00:19:21.22\00:19:25.49
FULL OF FARMERS AND SO
HE HAS DECIDED TO FORM A
00:19:25.53\00:19:30.37

THEY WORK TOGETHER IN EACH
00:19:30.40\00:19:33.60
OTHERS FIELDS, UH HUH,
AND HE'S KIND OF LEADING OUT
00:19:33.64\00:19:37.01
IN THIS, WOW, AND HE
HIMSELF BEING A FARMER
00:19:37.04\00:19:40.34
TOO, YOU KNOW, AND SO,
THEY BEGIN EACH MORNING
00:19:40.38\00:19:42.88
WITH PRAYER UH HUH,
AND THE MUSLIM-ONE OF THE
00:19:42.91\00:19:44.21
MUSLIMS DECIDED TO
DONATE SOME LAND AND BUILD A
00:19:44.25\00:19:45.55
CHAPEL AS A PLACE
FOR THE CHRISTIANS.
00:19:45.58\00:19:46.88
ISN'T THAT AMAZING?
00:19:46.92\00:19:47.82
I WOULD LIKE TO
SAY THAT ONE MORE TIME.
00:19:47.85\00:19:48.88
A MUSLIM MAN BECAUSE OF
HIS INTERACTION WITH THIS
00:19:48.92\00:19:49.98
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER IN
THIS FARMING CO-OP, RIGHT,
00:19:50.02\00:19:51.59
DID WHAT?
00:19:51.62\00:19:52.62
HE DONATED SOME LAND TO
BUILD A CHAPEL AND PLANT
00:19:52.65\00:19:53.42
ANOTHER CHURCH
IN HIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
00:19:53.46\00:19:54.92
OK.
00:19:54.96\00:19:55.59
SEE.
00:19:55.62\00:19:56.62
BUT THAT'S BECAUSE HE
HAS DEVELOPED A RAPPORT, A
00:19:56.66\00:20:00.50
RELATIONSHIP, A FRIENDSHIP
BECAUSE - THAT'S WHAT IT
00:20:00.53\00:20:05.57
IS ALL ABOUT- THIS
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER IS NOT
00:20:15.54\00:20:20.62
JUST OUT THERE YOU KNOW,
PREACHING THE GOSPEL HE IS
00:20:22.85\00:20:25.02
OUT THERE SHOULDER
TO SHOULDER CULTIVATING
00:20:25.05\00:20:28.36
GARDENS AND HE'S
DEVELOPED A RAPPORT WITH THEM.
00:20:28.39\00:20:32.06
WELL, ISN'T THAT-
PRAISE THE LORD FOR THAT.
00:20:32.09\00:20:34.73
SEE, YES.
00:20:34.73\00:20:36.26
GOOD.
00:20:36.30\00:20:37.40
GOOD.
00:20:37.43\00:20:38.07
GOOD.
00:20:38.10\00:20:39.10
AND THEN THE NEXT
PICTURE IS A PICTURE OF PASTOR
00:20:39.13\00:20:44.64
MATTHEW COULETTE.
00:20:44.67\00:20:45.67
HE IS ACTUALLY CURRENTLY
THE MISSION SECRETARY FOR
00:20:45.71\00:20:51.98
BENIN AND I HAD HEARD
THAT HE HAD AN ANIMISTIC
00:20:52.01\00:20:56.22
BACKGROUND SO I ASKED
HIM, I WANT YOU TO TELL ME YOUR
00:20:56.25\00:20:58.69
STORY AND THIS IS WHAT HE SAID.
00:20:58.72\00:21:00.22
HE GREW UP IN AN
ANIMISTIC HOME BACKGROUND.
00:21:00.26\00:21:03.69
AND EXPLAIN THAT-A
VIEWER MIGHT NOT KNOW WHAT THAT
00:21:03.73\00:21:05.63
IS.
00:21:05.66\00:21:06.29
OK.
00:21:06.33\00:21:07.36
ANIMISTIC IS WHEN THEY
WORSHIP THE RAIN, THE SUN,
00:21:07.40\00:21:10.40
THE TREES AND YOU KNOW,
THEY ARE IDOLATORS, PAGANS
00:21:10.43\00:21:12.17
AND THEY DON'T
BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE.
00:21:12.20\00:21:15.07
THEY DON'T
BELIEVE IN CHRISTIANITY.
00:21:15.10\00:21:18.14
ANYWAY, HE WAS AS A BOY,
HE WAS GOING TO SCHOOL AND
00:21:18.17\00:21:22.51
HE FAILED SO MUCH THAT
HIS FATHER WAS ASHAMED OF HIM
00:21:22.54\00:21:27.52
AND SENT TO LIVE WITH
HIS AUNT OVER IN TOGO.
00:21:27.55\00:21:32.05
AND SO, HIS AUNT IS
ALSO ANIMISTIC AND SO SHE PUT
00:21:32.09\00:21:36.96
HIM TO WORK WATERING AND
WEEDING HER FIELD AND NEXT
00:21:36.99\00:21:42.10
TO THE FIELD WAS A GROUP
OF ADVENTIST YOUNG PEOPLE
00:21:42.13\00:21:45.53
WHO WERE DOING THE SAME
THING IN THEIR FIELD-KIND
00:21:45.57\00:21:48.37
OF LIKE A CO-OP OF
ADVENTIST YOUNG PEOPLE AND
00:21:48.40\00:21:50.81
THEY MADE FRIENDS WITH HIM.
00:21:50.84\00:21:53.04
AND THEY GAVE HIM A BIBLE
AND SO HE TOOK IT HOME AND
00:21:53.07\00:21:56.71
STARTED READING IT AND
WHEN HIS AUNT FOUND OUT
00:21:56.75\00:21:59.58
-SAW HIM READING A
BIBLE SHE KICKED HIM OUT.
00:21:59.61\00:22:02.95
AND SO, HE HAD NO PLACE
TO STAY AND SO ONE OF THE
00:22:02.98\00:22:06.02
ADVENTISTS BROUGHT HIM
INTO THEIR HOME AND HE WAS
00:22:06.05\00:22:10.09
ACTUALLY GIVEN A JOB
AT THE MISSION AS WATCHMAN
00:22:10.13\00:22:13.76
AND GARDNER AND THE
MISSION PRESIDENT SAID,
00:22:13.80\00:22:18.67
"YOU KNOW, MATTHEW YOU
ARE SUCH A GOOD WORKER I WANT
00:22:18.70\00:22:21.34
YOU TO QUIT YOUR JOB I'M
GOING TO SEND YOU BACK TO
00:22:21.37\00:22:23.54
SCHOOL."
00:22:23.57\00:22:25.11
WOW.
00:22:25.14\00:22:26.07
AND SO, HE WENT BACK
TO SCHOOL UH HUH, AND
00:22:26.11\00:22:28.21
FINISHED HIS STUDIES
THEN HE WENT AS A GOSPEL
00:22:28.24\00:22:32.41
OUTREACH WORKER IN
BURKINA FASO WORKING IN
00:22:32.45\00:22:35.22
OUAGADOUGOU.
00:22:35.25\00:22:36.22
SO SOMEWHERE ALONG
THE WAY HE ACCEPTED JESUS.
00:22:36.25\00:22:38.22
HE ACCEPTED CHRIST,
OK, PRAISE THE LORD, THAT'S
00:22:38.25\00:22:40.66
RIGHT AND HE ACTUALLY
HE WENT CAMAROON ADVENTIST
00:22:40.69\00:22:43.46
UNIVERSITY TO GET HIS
STUDIES AND HE ACTUALLY
00:22:43.49\00:22:46.53
MARRIED ONE OF THOSE
GIRLS IN THE YOUTH GROUP THAT
00:22:46.56\00:22:49.16
WAS IN THE GROUP
NEXT-IN THE FARMER CO-OP?
00:22:49.20\00:22:52.23
YES, IN THE YOUNG
PEOPLE'S, YOUNG PEOPLE'S -
00:22:52.27\00:22:54.34
GOOD JOB.
00:22:54.37\00:22:55.27
SO, ANYWAY UH I HAD
ALREADY PRESENTED MY
00:22:55.30\00:23:00.51
GOSPEL PRESENTATION WITH
MY SKETCHES AND DRAWINGS,
00:23:00.54\00:23:06.31
ILLUSTRATIONS AND AS HE
WAS TELLING ME HIS STORY
00:23:06.35\00:23:09.98
ALL OF A
SUDDEN, HIS FACE LIT UP.
00:23:10.02\00:23:13.22
AND NOW I KNOW WHERE I'VE
SEEN YOU BEFORE, HE'D SEEN
00:23:13.25\00:23:15.76
YOU BEFORE?
00:23:15.79\00:23:16.79
HE HAD SEEN ME BEFORE IN
OUAGADOUGOU BACK IN 1999.
00:23:16.83\00:23:21.00
NO.
00:23:21.03\00:23:21.93
WHEN YOU WERE THERE
WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:23:21.96\00:23:24.20
PREVIOUSLY, RIGHT.
00:23:24.23\00:23:25.50
OH, WHAT A CRACKUP AND
I THOUGHT I HAD SEEN HIM
00:23:25.53\00:23:27.87
BEFORE TOO BECAUSE HIS
FACE LOOKED SO FAMILIAR.
00:23:27.90\00:23:30.77
HE HAS A BEAUTIFUL SMILE.
00:23:30.81\00:23:31.91
YES.
00:23:31.94\00:23:32.87
AND HIS VOICE IS
DEEP AND PERFECT FRENCH.
00:23:32.91\00:23:36.85
IT'S JUST AN AMAZING
FELLOW AND SO THE MISSION
00:23:36.88\00:23:39.95
PRESIDENT INVITED HIM
TO BECOME SECRETARY OF THE
00:23:39.98\00:23:44.69
MISSION.
00:23:44.72\00:23:45.25
WELL, PRAISE THE LORD.
00:23:45.29\00:23:46.29
OH, FANTASTIC.
00:23:46.32\00:23:47.29
AND SO, THAT'S HOW
-WHAT POTENTIAL THESE GUYS CAN
00:23:47.32\00:23:52.59
DEVELOP.
00:23:52.63\00:23:54.23
NOW THE MISSION
PRESIDENT HIMSELF JEFFREY.
00:23:54.30\00:23:57.33
PRESIDENT JEFFREY I
FOUND THAT HIS BACKGROUND WAS
00:23:57.37\00:24:02.50
ALSO INTERESTING.
00:24:02.54\00:24:04.37
REALLY?
00:24:04.41\00:24:05.04
OK.
00:24:05.07\00:24:06.11
HE SAID THAT HIS AUNT
WAS A SORCERESS AND SHE WAS
00:24:06.14\00:24:12.31
OUT TO KILL AS MANY
MEMBERS OF HER FAMILY AS
00:24:12.35\00:24:14.92
SHE COULD KILL.
00:24:14.95\00:24:16.18
OH DEAR.
00:24:16.22\00:24:17.02
AND WHAT COUNTRY WAS THIS?
00:24:17.05\00:24:18.89
THIS IS IN BENIN.
00:24:18.92\00:24:20.76
BENIN, OK.
00:24:20.79\00:24:21.89
AND SO, UH HE HAD ACCEPTED
CHRIST, YES, AND SHE TRIED
00:24:21.92\00:24:25.93
OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO
KILL HIM BUT SHE TOLD HIM
00:24:25.96\00:24:27.23
YOU KNOW YOUR GOD IS
MORE POWERFUL THAN MY GODS.
00:24:27.30\00:24:28.56
I CAN'T TOUCH YOU.
00:24:28.60\00:24:29.23
REALLY?
00:24:29.26\00:24:30.23
AND SO, HE HAS COME UP
THROUGH THE RANKS AND IS
00:24:30.27\00:24:31.27
NOW PRESIDENT OF BENIN
AND HE IS SAYING THAT THE
00:24:31.30\00:24:32.37
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS
ARE ALSO HAVING A MINISTRY
00:24:32.40\00:24:34.30
AND CASTING OUT DEMONS
AND PEOPLE ARE JOINING THE
00:24:34.34\00:24:39.41
CHURCH BECAUSE IN
CHRIST IN THE CHURCH THERE IS
00:24:55.79\00:25:00.83
PROTECTION, THERE IS POWER.
00:25:00.86\00:25:02.56
THEY FIND ANYWHERE ELSE.
00:25:02.60\00:25:04.27
THEY RECOGNIZE THAT.
00:25:04.30\00:25:05.67
YES.
00:25:05.70\00:25:06.20
THEY RECOGNIZE THAT.
00:25:06.23\00:25:07.64
SO, PEOPLE RECOGNIZED
IT IN JESUS' DAY AND PEOPLE
00:25:07.67\00:25:10.81
ARE RECOGNIZING THAT IN OUR DAY.
00:25:10.84\00:25:13.98
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:25:14.01\00:25:14.88
OH WOW.
00:25:14.91\00:25:15.84
AND SO THAT'S THE
FELLOW ON THE RIGHT-THAT'S
00:25:15.88\00:25:17.78
JEFFREY.
00:25:17.81\00:25:18.91
