00:34 HELLO, FRIEND.
00:35 WELCOME TO GOSPEL OUTREACH "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS". 00:37 I'M LONNIE MELASHENKO YOUR HOST TODAY. 00:40 JESUS GAVE THE GREAT GOSPEL COMMISSION MATTHEW 00:42 24:14 "AND THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM MUST BE 00:47 PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD FOR A WITNESS TO ALL 00:51 NATIONS THEN THE END WILL COME." 00:54 DOESN'T SAY MAYBE IT WILL GO HE SAID IT MUST GO. 00:58 GOSPEL OUTREACH IS ABOUT REACHING INTO THAT 10/40 01:01 WINDOW WHERE PERHAPS LESS THAN ONE PERCENT OF THE 01:04 WORLD POPULATION HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH 01:06 CHRISTIANITY LET ALONE JESUS CHRIST. 01:09 THEY MAY HAVE NEVER EVEN HEARD HIS NAME. 01:10 WE'LL BE TELLING YOUMORE ABOUT THAT THIS AFTERNOON 01:13 OR ON OUR PROGRAM TODAY BUT PLEASE NOTE THAT WE 01:15 HAVE A VERY SPECIAL GUEST. 01:17 YOU WILL VERY RARELY HEAR THE NAME OF CHARLES 01:19 SHULTZ, YOU KNOW OF PEANUTS CLAIM, WE HAVE 01:24 CHARLES SHULTZ HERE WITH US HERE AS OUR GUEST 01:25 TODAY. 01:26 WELCOME TO THE PROGRAM AND TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT 01:28 YOUR MOTHER CHOSE THAT NAME. 01:30 DID SHE KNOW ABOUT PEANUTS? 01:31 NO, IT WAS LONG BEFORE PEANUTS. 01:34 I WAS NAMED AFTER MY GRANDFATHER CHARLES 01:36 DEUTSCH. 01:37 SO, AND I'VE BEEN PRIVILEGED TO BE A PART OF 01:41 GOSPEL OUTREACH AND I WAS A MISSIONARY IN NEPAL FOR 01:45 EIGHT YEARS AND I WAS BLESSED TO BE ONE OF THE 01:51 DIRECTORS WITH MY WIFE-IN NEPAL. 01:53 IN NEPAL. 01:54 NOW, LET'S UNPACK THAT A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE NEPAL 01:56 -WE HAVE A GRAPHIC ON THAT. 01:58 NEPAL IS THE GATEWAY FOR ANY CLIMBER TO GO TO MT. 02:03 EVEREST. 02:04 THAT'S RIGHT.SOME OF THE BASE CAMPS ARE IN NEPAL. 02:05 NOW NEPAL HAS A POPULATION, BELIEVE IT OR 02:08 NOT, OF 29 MILLION PEOPLE OF WHICH WHAT PERCENTAGE 02:13 IS CHRISTIAN? 02:14 ABOUT 1.2 PERCENT. 02:16 MEANING THAT 99 PERCENT ALMOST ARE 02:18 BASICALLY-HINDUS AND BUDDHISTS. 02:20 SO, THIS IS DEFINITELY AN AREA NEEDING ATTENTION 02:23 WITH THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST BECAUSE THEY NOT 02:26 ONLY DON'T KNOW ABOUT HIM MANY OF THEM HAVE NEVER 02:29 HEARD HIS NAME. 02:30 THAT'S RIGHT. 02:31 THAT'S RIGHT. 02:32 SO, WHAT TOOK YOU TO NEPAL? 02:34 WELL, UM BASICALLY IN THOSE DAYS IT WAS AGAINST 02:41 THE LAW TO PREACH IN NEPAL ANDAS WE SAW THERE IS A 02:48 GEOGRAPHICAL BARRIER. 02:54 YOU HAVE THE HIMALAYAN MOUNTAINS SEPARATING CHINA 02:56 FROM NEPAL AND THEN YOU HAVE THAT GREEN AREA USED 03:01 TO BE THE MALARIA BELT THAT KEPT PEOPLE OUT OF 03:05 NEPAL. 03:06 AND SO, IT WAS NEVER COLONIZED BY THE ENGLISH. 03:08 IT WAS NEVER COLONIZED BY ANYONE AND THEY ARE VERY 03:10 PROUD OF THAT. 03:11 AND THE PROBLEM IN 1969 IS HOW TO GET IN-HOW TO GET 03:16 THE MESSAGE INTO NEPAL. 03:17 OF COURSE, WE HAD OUR HOSPITAL. 03:19 IT STARTED BY STANLEY STURGIS AND THE MEDICAL 03:24 STAFF THERE AT OUR HOSPITAL THOUGHT THAT IT 03:26 WOULD BE GOOD IF I COULD COME AND DO PUBLIC HEALTH- 03:30 HEALTH EDUCATION. 03:32 AND SO, THIS IS WHAT I ENDED UP DOING. 03:34 SO, YOUR SPECIALTY IN TERMS OF REACHING OUT TO 03:37 PEOPLE IS TO TOUCH THEM LIKE JESUS TOUCHED FIRST 03:40 THEIR PHYSICAL NEEDS, THEIR PHYSICAL PROBLEMS, 03:43 YES AND THEN PERHAPS DOORS WOULD OPEN OTHER WAYS. 03:46 WELL, AND YOU KNOW THE PEOPLE AT THE HOSPITAL 03:49 AFTER THE MONSOONS ALL OF THE FILTH WOULD RUN INTO 03:55 THE WATER SYSTEMS AND PEOPLE WOULD BE DYING OFF 03:58 LIKE FLIES. 03:59 UM. 04:00 AND SO, BASICALLY, I WAS BROUGHT IN WITH MY SLIDE, 04:01 IF I COULD HAVE THAT SLIDE BACK, AND I WOULD GO INTO 04:02 A VILLAGE AND I'D THROW A SHEET OVER A WINDOW AND 04:03 THEN I HAD TWO PUPPETS. 04:04 I HAD A NEPALI LADY WHOSE NAME WAS RANIMAYA AND I 04:14 HAD ARLONDO BOGG THE TIGER PUPPET AND BASICALLY, YOU 04:21 KNOW WHAT KATHMANDU MEANS DON'T YOU? 04:24 AT LEAST IN THOSE DAYS, A CAT CAN DO WHAT A MAN WILL 04:27 NEVER DO. 04:29 AND THAT'S DIGGING A HOLE. 04:31 HOW ABOUT THAT. 04:32 AND TAKING CARE OF YOUR WASTE PRODUCTS AND SO 04:34 AFTER I GIVE THIS LITTLE DRAMA IN NEPALI LANGUAGE, 04:39 THAT'S HOW I LEARNED NEPALI, SO YOU COULDN'T 04:41 PROMULGATE OR PROMOTE RELIGION BUT YOU DID A 04:43 PUPPET SHOW IN THE PUBLIC UP THERE BEHIND THAT 04:45 LITTLE SHEET. 04:46 THAT'S RIGHT AND THEN I'D COME DOWN THE STAIRS AND 04:50 I'D ENGAGE THE PEOPLE-WELL, DO YOU THINK 04:52 THAT WHEN YOU GO TO THE BATHROOM COULD YOU DIG A 04:54 LITTLE HOLE. 04:55 YES, WE COULD DO THAT. 04:56 WELL, YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO ELIMINATE A LOT OF 04:58 SICKNESS, INTERESTING, FROM YOUR COMMUNITY. 05:02 NOW THIS SOUNDS SO PRIMITIVE TO US BUT THAT 05:04 WAS AN EDUCATION FACTOR FOR THEM. 05:05 ABSOLUTELY, ABSOLUTELY AND YOU KNOW, I'M HAPPY TO SAY 05:09 NOW 45 YEARS LATER THEY'VE LEARNED. 05:13 AND OF COURSE, YOU GO BACK TO THE BOOK LEVITICUS AND 05:15 THE BIBLE TALKED ABOUT THAT FOR THE CHILDREN OF 05:18 ISRAEL WHEN THEY EVIDENTLY HAD BECOME SO IGNORANT 05:20 THEY DIDN'T KNOW THE RIGHT HAND FROM THEIR LEFT. 05:22 RIGHT. 05:23 GOD TOLD THEM TAKE SOMETHING WITH YOU AND DIG 05:24 A HOLE. 05:25 THAT'S RIGHT. 05:26 NOW, BACK IN '69 I HAD TO PLAY BY THE RULES AND THE 05:30 RULES WERE THERE WILL BE NO PROSELYTIZING, THERE IS 05:34 NO FORCING OF RELIGION UPON YOUR PEOPLE SO I'D GO 05:37 INTO THE VILLAGE AND I HAD THIS PICTURE ROLL AND THE 05:40 FIRST PART OF THE PICTURE ROLL WAS ALL ABOUT HEALTH, 05:43 SANITATION, DANGERS OF SMOKING, THAT TYPE OF 05:47 THING AND AFTER I FINISHED THAT PART I WOULD SAY TO 05:50 MY CONGREGATION OR MY PEOPLE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO 05:53 SEE SOME PICTURES OF JESUS?
