THE STATE IN INDIA. 01:35 AND INDIA AS WE KNOW EVEN FROM NOT HAVING BEEN 01:39 THERE, MAYBE SOMEONE HASN'T BEEN THERE BUT 01:41 THEY'VE HEARD ABOUT ALL OF THE PEOPLE. 01:42 HOW MANY PEOPLE IN INDIA?

02:07 WITH BEVERLY. 02:09 WELL FANTASTIC ELMER. 02:10 SO TELL ME WERE YOU BORN TO MISSIONARY PARENTS? 02:12 I WAS BORN TO MISSIONARY PARENTS. 02:14 MY FOLKS WERE PIONEER MISSIONARIES IN INDIA. 02:18 THEY WENT TO INDIA BY BOAT IN 1919. 02:22 OH INTERESTING. 02:24 THEY STAYED FOR 37 YEARS. 02:26 INTERESTING. 02:27 AND CAME BACK IN 1946 IS WHEN I FIRST SAW AMERICA. 02:33 WOW. 02:34 SO DO YOU SPEAK ANY OF THE DIALECTS? 02:37 SPEAK A LITTLE BIT OF URDU, HINDI. 02:39 THAT'S ABOUT IT. 02:41 WELL FANTASTIC. 02:42 WAS YOUR FATHER A PHYSICIAN, A PASTOR? 02:44 HE WAS A MINISTER SO HE WAS A MISSIONARY. 02:46 OK FANTASTIC. 02:48 WELL SEE, AND HERE THE TWO OF YOU ARE VOLUNTEERING AT 02:51 GOSPEL OUTREACH. 02:52 WHAT A PRIVILEGE. 02:54 SO BEV, TAKE US HERE TO THIS AREA. 02:56 TELL US A LITTLE BIT MORE NOW THAT WE KNOW THE NAME 02:58 OF THE VILLAGE AND THE AREA. 03:00 TELL US A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT YOUR WORK THERE. 03:02 WELL CHUNGPAVAHA IS A VERY DISTANT FROM ANYWHERE 03:06 PLACE. 03:07 AND YOU GO ON THE HIGHWAYS AND ON ROADWAYS AND ON THE 03:12 DIRT ROADS AND BUMPS AND GET WAY OUT. 03:15 IT TAKES US THREE HOURS TO GET FROM THE MAIN CITY IN 03:19 WEST JHARKHAND WHICH IS RANCHI. 03:21 AND OUT THERE THEY HAVE HAD A CHURCH SINCE ABOUT 03:24 1980. 03:25 MARANATHA BUILT A CHURCH FOR THEM. 03:31 IT WAS MUD BRICK, NOT BURNED MUD BUT IT WAS AN 03:37 ADEQUATE PLACE. 03:38 BUT THOSE PEOPLE WERE ON FIRE FOR THE LORD. 03:40 THEY WERE EXCITED ABOUT THE FAITH, JESUS' SAVING 03:44 GRACE, AND HE'S COMING AGAIN TO TAKE US TO 03:47 HEAVEN. 03:47 AND WHAT A JOY IT IS FOR THEM. 03:49 AND WHEN I GOT TO KNOW THIS VILLAGE ALL BUT ONE 03:55 FAMILY WERE ADVENTIST. 03:58 THE NEIGHBORING VILLAGES, THERE WERE THREE VILLAGES 04:02 MAINLY, THAT ARE ABOUT 75 PERCENT ADVENTIST BECAUSE 04:06 OF THAT CHURCH THAT WAS BUILT BY MARANATHA IN 04:09 1980. 04:10 BUT THEN THEY HAD OUTGROWN IT AND SO MARANATHA CAME 04:14 AND BUILT THEM A NEW CHURCH AND SO THEY HAD 04:17 ALREADY BEEN USING THE CHURCH AS A SORT OF A 04:19 SCHOOL BUT NOBODY REALLY HAD MUCH EDUCATION. 04:24 IF A MEMBER HAD EIGHTH GRADE EDUCATION THEY WERE 04:27 EDUCATED ENOUGH TO TEACH THE LITTLE KIDS THEIR 04:29 ABC'S. 04:29 EIGHTH GRADE EDUCATION. 04:30 THAT WAS ENOUGH TO BE A TEACHER. 04:32 THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S SO RURAL. 04:35 AND THEN I WENT THERE AND IT TOOK MY HEART. 04:42 AND THAT'S WHAT MY PROGRAM IS ABOUT. 04:44 AND I HAVE PICTURES OF THIS. 04:45 LET'S GO, TAKE US. 04:47 YOU KNOW SHE TALKED ABOUT CARS, TAXIS. 04:52 SHE DIDN'T MENTION TRAINS. 04:54 OH YOU TOOK A TRAIN THERE TOO. 04:55 WE TOOK OVERNIGHT TRAINS AND THAT IS A STORY 04:58 BECAUSE I HAD THE BOTTOM BUNK AND SOME PEOPLE ABOVE 05:01 DROPPED A BABY ALL THE WAY ON TOP OF ME. 05:04 OH, OH, WAS THE BABY OKAY? 05:05 AND THE BABY WHIMPERED AND I SAID WELL I HOPE THAT 05:09 DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. 05:10 THEY DROPPED A GALLON JUG OF WATER ON ME. 05:13 OH NO. 05:14 MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE A TOP BUNK INSTEAD OF THE 05:16 BOTTOM. 05:17 MAYBE. 05:17 BUT WAS THE BABY OKAY ELMER? 05:18 YES, THE BABY I THINK IT WAS ALRIGHT. 05:22 THIS WAS ON THE WAY TO CHUNGPAVAHA. 05:25 AFTER YOU LEAVE THE CITY YOU STILL HAVE TRAFFIC BUT 05:28 YOU HAVE TREES AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL GOING OUT THERE. 05:31 THE TRAFFIC IS MUCH LESS OUT THERE IN THE COUNTRY. 05:34 BUT AS YOU GO ALONG YOU FIND THAT THERE IS A LOT 05:38 OF ROAD CONSTRUCTION GOING ON THERE. 05:40 AND THE BIG TRUCKS AND THE GRAVEL STARTS. 05:45 ITS FOR BRIDGES AND SO ON. 05:47 AND THEY POINTED OUT TO ME THOSE BIG TRUCKS AND THE 05:50 BIG MACHINERY OUT THERE AND THEY WERE DISAPPOINTED 05:54 BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO EMPLOYMENT THERE. 05:57 BUT YOU SEE THE MEN WATCHING THERE? 05:59 THERE ARE PEOPLE AND KIDS, WATCHERS, ONLOOKERS. 06:04 THEY WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SOME WORK. 06:06 BUT THEY DID HAVE SOME PLACES WHERE THEY WOULD 06:08 HAVE SOME WORK DOWN DEEP IN THE PITS AND HERE WE 06:10 HAVE MEN AND WOMEN WORKING AND MAKING FOUNDATIONS OF 06:14 THE ROAD. 06:15 VERY INTERESTING TO SEE ALL OF THIS GOING ON. 06:18 BUT THEN WE GET OUT, WE DON'T SEE ANY CARS. 06:21 PEOPLE DON'T HAVE CARS. 06:24 RICKSHAWS AND IT BECOMES DIRT ROADS. 06:26 BUT THEN WE ARRIVE AT OUR DESTINATION. 06:30 IT'S HARD TO SEE IN THIS PICTURE BUT THERE IS A 06:33 GREENERY ARCH ALL OVER US THERE. 06:35 THEY HAVE PREPARED FOR US COMING. 06:38 AND THIS SCHOOL GIRL IN THE GREY SKIRT AND WHITE 06:42 SHIRT SHE HAS LIKE HYSSOP LEAVES AND SHE IS 06:46 SPRINKLING US WITH WATER. 06:48 A WELCOME FOR REFRESHING AFTER OUR JOURNEY. 06:50 HOW NICE. 06:51 AND EVERYONE IS EXCITED AND WAITING FOR US. 06:54 THE SCHOOL KIDS LINE UP IN THEIR UNIFORMS. 06:58 AND I WANTED TO POINT OUT TO YOU THEY HAVE SOME 07:01 WHITE BANGLES ON THEIR WRISTS AND THESE ARE 07:05 SHREDDED PAPER. 07:06 AND WHAT'S THAT FOR BEV? 07:08 DECORATION. 07:09 AND THEN, IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT TO SEE, BUT 07:13 THE GIRLS ALSO HAVE STRAWS STICKING UP OUT OF THEIR 07:16 HEAD LIKE ANTENNAS, BUT THESE ARE COLORED STRAWS, 07:20 PLASTIC STRAWS THAT WE DRINK WITH. 07:21 THAT'S WHAT THEY HAVE USED FOR DECORATION. 07:24 OH SO THEY PUT IT IN THEIR BRAIDED HAIR OR THEIR 07:26 PONYTAILS OR WHATEVER. 07:27 WHATEVER YES. 07:28 OH INTERESTING. 07:29 BUT THERE THEY ARE ALL LINED UP READY TO WELCOME 07:32 US. 07:33 AND WE WERE TOLD TO FOLLOW THE DRUMMER AND I 07:36 REMEMBERED ONE TIME I HAD BEEN TOLD YOU'RE GOING TO 07:40 BE LEADING THE PROCESSION SO WALK SLOWLY. 07:43 AND I WALKED AS SLOWLY AS I COULD AND WHEN WE GOT TO 07:48 OUR DESTINATION THEY LAUGHED AND THEY SAID YOU 07:51 WALK SO FAST MADAM. 07:52 OH DEAR. 07:53 THEY WANTED YOU TO GO SLOWER. 07:54 SLOWER YET. 07:55 HOW FUNNY. 07:56 THEY WANTED THE PARADE TO CONTINUE. 07:58 YES AND TAKE A LONG TIME AND ATTRACT THE VILLAGERS. 08:02 AND SO THE PASTOR KNEW THAT THEY BETTER PUT THE 08:05 DRUMMER IN FRONT OF ME TO GUIDE MY PACE. 08:08 SLOW THE FAST AMERICAN WOMAN. 08:11 SLOW HER DOWN SO WE'RE NOT RUNNING. 08:12 SO ELMER, YOU'RE WEARING SOMETHING. 08:14 I'M WEARING A KAMEEZ. 08:16 IT'S WHAT THE INDIANS WEAR. 08:17 OKAY BUT IN THE PHOTO YOU HAVE LIKE A LEI ON IS WHAT 08:21 IT LOOKS LIKE. 08:21 OH THE LEI, YES. 08:24 WHAT IT IS IS A GARLAND OF FLOWERS. 08:26 OKAY, THAT THEY HAVE PREPARED. 08:28 THEY PREPARED FROM THEIR OWN GARDEN. 08:30 ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THEY DO IS GARLAND YOU. 08:33 IT IS USED AS A VERB. 08:35 THEY GARLAND YOU. 08:36 THEY PUT FLOWERS ON YOU. 08:38 ALRIGHT. 08:39 KIND OF LIKE IN HAWAII WHEN THEY GIVE YOU A LEI 08:40 TO SAY HELLO AND WELCOME. 08:42 OKAY. 08:43 SO HERE YOU ARE AT THE SCHOOL. 08:46 AND HERE WE'RE GOING BEHIND THE DRUMMER BOY, 08:49 SLOWLY, AND ALL OF THESE SCHOOL KIDS ARE DANCING 08:54 FOR US AND THEY START SINGING. 08:56 AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE SINGING. 08:59 THEY ARE NOT SINGING IN ENGLISH. 09:00 AND IT JUS WAS SOMETHING THAT I FEEL LIKE I'M SO 09:08 HONORED AND I DON'T DESERVE A THING. 09:11 AND YET THEY ARE SO HONORED TO KNOW THAT 09:14 SOMEBODY FROM OUTSIDE OF INDIA EVEN HAS NOTICED 09:18 THEM AND ARE COMING TO BE WITH THEM. 09:20 VERY VERY WELCOMING. 09:21 OH, IT WAS ALMOST OVERWHELMING. 09:24 SO I'M LOOKING AT THE STUDENTS HERE THOUGH BEV. 09:26 BIG AGE RANGE OF KIDS. 09:29 YES. 09:30 THE CHILDREN DON'T ALWAYS START SCHOOL AT FIVE AND 09:33 SIX YEARS OLD. 09:35 THEY WILL START THEM IN PRESCHOOL AND KINDERGARTEN 09:39 BUT MANY OF THEM DON'T HAVE THAT AVAILABLE AND SO 09:42 YOU MIGHT HAVE SOMEBODY WHO IS 10 YEARS OLD 09:44 STARTING WITH PRESCHOOL WITH KINDERGARTEN. 09:47 INTERESTING. 09:48 AND YOU KNOW WHAT, AS WE HEAR THESE STORIES HERE IN 09:50 WESTERN CULTURE WE NEED TO REMEMBER HOW BLESSED WE 09:54 ARE. 09:54 AND THAT'S WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT WITH 09:56 ORGANIZATIONS LIKE GOSPEL OUTREACH THAT WE ARE 09:58 GIVING BACK AND THAT WE ARE SHARING SO THESE KIDS 10:02 CAN HAVE A CHANCE TO KNOW JESUS AND GO TO SCHOOL. 10:05 AND YOU KNOW THAT PICTURE I JUST WAS SHOWING YOU 10:09 HERE. 10:10 IT MADE ME THINK ABOUT THE FIRST TIME I VISITED THERE 10:13 AND TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE, THE CHANGE IN THIS PLACE. 10:17 WE HAD A DONATION COME TO MAKE WHAT USED TO BE THE 10:22 CHURCH INTO A SCHOOL. 10:24 AND WHEN I SAW ALL OF THESE PEOPLE, I MEAN 120 10:28 STUDENTS WERE NOW THERE. 10:29 AND THEIR PARENTS WERE ALL OUT IN FRONT OF US THERE 10:33 AND I WAS GOING TO BE THE HONORED PERSON TO CUT THE 10:37 RIBBON IN THE OPENING OF THIS. 10:40 I WAS OVERCOME WITH TEARS AND I THINK EVERYONE WAS 10:43 LOOKING AT ME AS IF TO SAY WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH 10:45 HER. 10:46 NOW THAT'S A GOOD THING, THOSE ARE TEARS OF JOY. 10:48 TEARS OF JOY. 10:49 AND JUST TO SEE THIS PLACE. 10:51 I HAVE TO SHOW YOU. 10:52 THIS IS WHAT THE CHURCH LOOKED LIKE THAT MARANATHA 10:55 FIRST PUT UP. 10:57 AND THIS WAS NOW THEIR SCHOOL ONE YEAR AGO. 10:59 AND WHEN YOU SEE THAT BUILDING AND SEE WHAT 11:04 WE'RE SEEING NOW AND INSIDE THAT BUILDING A 11:08 YEAR AGO YOU CAN SEE THE BLACK BOARDS ON THE WALL 11:11 AND THESE WERE THE DEMARCATION LINES OF THREE 11:15 CLASS ROOMS. 11:16 AND THERE WERE IMAGINARY LINES BETWEEN THEM. 11:19 SO THERE WAS NO WALL BEV. 11:20 SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THERE WERE THREE CLASS 11:22 ROOMS IN HERE, NO WALL, AND YOU HAD TEACHERS AT 11:24 EACH OF THE BLACKBOARDS AND ALL THE SOUND AND 11:26 NOISE OF KIDS. 11:27 OH MY. 11:28 THAT MUST HAVE BEEN DEAFENING UNLESS THEY WERE 11:30 REALLY SERIOUSLY STUDYING. 11:31 WELL THAT'S WHY I HAD TO FIND A DONATION FOR THIS. 11:36 YES. 11:38 AND WE WERE SO THRILLED TO BE ABLE TO BE PART OF 11:41 THIS. 11:42 LOOK AT WHAT IS OUT THERE IN FRONT OF THAT BUILDING 11:44 NOW. 11:45 SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST ENGLISH MEDIUM SCHOOL, 11:47 CHUNGPAVAHA. 11:49 AND THEN IT SAYS THE PHYSICAL, SPIRITUAL AND 11:54 MENTAL. 11:56 AND THE OTHER SIGN. 11:58 YOU KNOW IT WAS JUST THRILLING TO SEE THIS 12:03 BEAUTIFUL BUILDING THAT HAD BEEN MADE OVER. 12:05 THE OTHER PART OF IT IS THEY HAD SENT ME SOME POOR 12:10 QUALITY PICTURES WHILE THEY WERE DOING THIS 12:13 REPAIR. 12:14 MEN AND WOMEN AND CHILDREN WERE CARRYING MUD ON THEIR 12:22 HEADS IN A BUCKET OR A PAN. 12:25 BUT EVERYONE WAS WORKING TOGETHER. 12:27 EVERYONE WANTED TO SEE THIS BEAUTIFUL SCHOOL, AND 12:30 TO ME THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SCHOOL. 12:33 WELL AND IF YOUR EXCITED ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE HEARING 12:35 AT GOSPEL OUTREACH, THIS REPORT

DORMITORY THERE. 16:46 AND THEY WERE COOKING US LUNCH FOR THIS BIG 16:49 CELEBRATION. 16:50 BEAUTIFUL KITCHEN. 16:52 AND THE OTHER THING THAT WE WERE THERE FOR WAS THIS 16:57 PLACE IS ABOUT A KILOMETER OR A HALF A MILE FROM A 17:01 RIVER AND THEY HAVE NO WATER. 17:04 SO THEY HAVE TO GO RUNNING. 17:06 SO THEY WERE ASKING FOR A WATER WELL AND PUMP. 17:11 SO THERE IS NO WATER AT THIS SCHOOL? 17:13 NO, NO. 17:14 AND SO WE CHOSE THIS SPOT IN FRONT OF THE PASTOR 17:19 THERE IN FRONT OF ELMER AND THIS WAS THE PLACE 17:21 WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO PUT IN A WELL. 17:23 THERE ARE TWO TEACHERS

PERFORMANCE THAT 18:06 THE STUDENTS HAD. 18:07 AND THEN THEY MET US IN THE CHURCH AND THEY SANG 18:10 US A WELCOME SONG. 18:12 AFTER THE MEETING WAS OVER I ASKED PASTOR, WHAT WERE 18:16 THEY SINGING. 18:17 AND HE SAID OH IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. 18:21 HE SAID THESE PEOPLE MADE UP THE SONG THEMSELVES AND 18:25 HE SAID IT WAS SOMETHING LIKE THIS. 18:29 IN THE PAST WE WERE IN DARKNESS. 18:31 WE HAD NO LIGHT BUT GOD CAME AND CHANGED OUR 18:36 LIVES. 18:37 AND YOU HAVE COME AND BROUGHT US A SCHOOL FOR 18:41 THE TRAINING OF OUR SCHOOL. 18:42 OH HOW FANTASTIC. 18:43 SO THAT WE CAN SPREAD THE NEWS TO OTHERS.

WHO HAD 19:09 LEARNED EXODUS 20: 1-17 THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. 19:12 AND THEN AFTER THEY FINISHED SAYING THEM I 19:17 GAVE THEM A LITTLE LAMB THAT HAS A LITTLE POCKET 19:21 IN IT TO HAVE A MEGA VOICE. 19:23 AND I HAVE A MEGA VOICE IN MY HAND HERE AND I HAD ONE 19:27 IN MY HAND IN THE PICTURE. 19:28 BUT THIS MEGA VOICE TUCKS INSIDE THAT LITTLE LAMB 19:32 AND THEY CAN HEAR THE BIBLE. 19:36 IT'S AN AUDIO BIBLE AND IT HAS A SOLAR PANEL AND SO 19:41 THEY DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ELECTRICITY. 19:42 THEY DON'T HAVE IT ANYWAY, BUT SOLAR. 19:44 YES, SO I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT 19:47 THESE. 19:48 THESE MEGA VOICE PLAYERS ARE ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC 19:51 AND THEY ARE USED HERE A LOT BY OUR REGIONAL 19:55 DIRECTORS. 19:57 AND AS YOU SAID THERE'S THE SOLAR PANEL SO THEY 20:00 CAN BE CHARGED. 20:01 AND THEN THEY CAN BE PLAYED. 20:03 AND I DON'T KNOW WHICH LANGUAGE LET'S SEE HERE. 20:06 OH THIS HAS HINDI ON IT. 20:07 AND THESE ARE SO FANTASTIC. 20:09 THIS ONE LET'S SEE IF WE CAN PLAY IT HERE. 20:12 BUT LIKE YOU SAID IT TUCKS INTO THIS STUFFED ANIMAL 20:15 (MEGA VOICE PLAYING) AND THE SPEAKER IS FANTASTIC 20:16 BECAUSE THAT WAY PEOPLE CAN GATHER AROUND AND 20:18 LISTEN TO IT. 20:19 SO WHAT DID THE GIRL THINK WHEN YOU GAVE THIS TO HER? 20:20 WELL SHE WAS THE PRINCIPAL FOR THE SCHOOL AND THEY 20:21 WERE THRILLED AND NOW THEY ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO 20:22 LEARN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS FROM LISTENING TO THIS. 20:39 AND IT'S OKAY WHAT EVER LANGUAGE THEY LISTEN TO. 20:42 AND THE BIBLE IN LIVING SOUND IS ON THERE AND 20:46 THESE ARE GOING TO ALL THESE DIFFERENT COUNTRIES 20:48 HERE IN THE 10/40 WINDOW. 20:50 THIS HAS ENOUGH VOLUME FOR 50 PEOPLE IN A GROUP. 20:54 YES, IT'S FANTASTIC AND THEY ARE ALSO, ON SOME OF 20:58 THEN NOW, THE NEWER ONES, ARE WATER PROOF AND ALL 21:01 SORTS OF THINGS. 21:02 THIS HAS A HOOK UP TO GO TO A MICROPHONE OR A 21:06 SPEAKER. 21:07 YES. 21:07 AND SO IT CAN GO TO HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE. 21:09 BUT I'VE HAD GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS GO TO THE 21:13 VILLAGE MARKET AND PLAY IT LOUD AND GET ALL THE YOUNG 21:17 PEOPLE SURROUNDING HIM TO HEAR THIS MACHINE. 21:20 WHAT IS GOING ON? 21:21 AND I'VE HAD MANY REPORTS OF PEOPLE USING THEM IN 21:22 HOME WORSHIP AND HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE COME TO JESUS 21:23 BECAUSE OF IT. 21:24 SO I WAS THRILLED TO BE ABLE TO GIVE A TOKEN TO 21:25 THE PRINCIPAL, THIS MEGA VOICE WITH THE LITTLE 21:27 LAMB. 21:27 SO

GROUPS. 21:56 SO WE HAVE TO TRAVEL MAYBE A DAY OR OVERNIGHT TO GET 22:00 TO THE NEXT GROUP. 22:02 YES, BECAUSE THE DISTANCE IS SO GREAT. 22:04 BACK TO CHUNGPAVAHA, ALL OF THE KIDS SANG THAT SONG 22:07 AND THEN THEY SAT DOWN. 22:08 BUT YOU CAN HARDLY SEE THEM HERE. 22:11 THIS PLACE IS CROWDED. 22:13 THAT'S THE CHURCH. 22:14 ALL 120 KIDS AND PARENTS TRYING TO SQUEEZE INTO 22:17 THIS CHURCH, PILED IN THERE. 22:18 IT WAS JUST VERY VERY THRILLING TO SEE IT. 22:20 OH, LOOK OUTSIDE. 22:23 THAT IS THE CHURCH AND THEN THEY WANTED TO HAVE 22:27 PICTURES OF THE GROUPS OF THE GRADES FOR THE KIDS. 22:30 AND YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE SOME TALL BOYS THERE AND 22:33 SOME LITTLE SHORT GUYS. 22:34 THAT'S BECAUSE THEY START SCHOOL AT DIFFERENT AGES. 22:38 SO HELP ME UNDERSTAND. 22:39 HOW MUCH ABOUT IS IT A MONTH FOR THESE STUDENTS 22:41 TO ATTEND HERE? 22:43 DAY SCHOOL IS ABOUT TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS. 22:46 TWENTY-FIVE AND THESE PARENTS CAN AFFORD THIS? 22:49 IT IS VERY DIFFICULT. 22:50 WOW, THIS IS A HUGE COMMITMENT FOR THESE 22:53 FAMILIES. 22:54 EXCUSE ME, TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS IS FOR THE 22:58 CHEAPEST PLACE TO HAVE HOSTEL OR DORMITORY. 23:02 SO THAT'S ROOM AND BOARD. 23:04 YES, BUT THE PARENTS WILL HAVE FIVE DOLLARS A MONTH 23:08 FOR THE DAY SCHOOL. 23:09 FOR THE DAY SCHOOL. 23:10 OKAY, WOW. 23:12 SO THIS IS A COMMITMENT FOR THEM. 23:14 YES, IT IS. 23:15 SO WHAT WAS IT LIKE, OH AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING 23:17 HERE? 23:18 OH WE HAD TO FEAST AFTERWARDS. 23:19 YES. 23:20 AND THESE ARE THE PASTORS THAT WERE WITH ME. 23:22 THEY WERE ALL TRAVELING WITH ME FROM THE CITY. 23:24 SO THEY GOT IN THERE EATING WHILE I WAS OUT 23:28 VISITING WITH THE PEOPLE. 23:30 BUT YES THEY ALL HAD THEIR FEAST AT THIS TIME. 23:33 AND THEN WE WENT TO LEAVE AND THIS IS IN THE BACK 23:35 YARD OF THE ONE FAMILY IN THAT VILLAGE WHO IS NOT 23:37 ADVENTIST. 23:37 AND GUESS WHAT THEY ARE MAKING? 23:40 WHAT? 23:41 BEER. 23:42 OH THEY ARE. 23:43 OH INTERESTING. 23:45 THIS IS THE ALCOHOL SOURCE THAT THEY HAVE TO WALK A 23:50 LONG WAY NOW TO SELL BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY 23:57 ADVENTISTS AROUND. 23:58 SO MANY CHRISTIANS THERE WHO ARE NOT DRINKING. 24:00 WHAT THEY DO IS THEY CLIMB THE TREES, ACTUALLY IT'S A 24:04 DATE PALM. 24:05 THEY CLIMB THE DATE PALM AND THEY HOOK THOSE 24:08 BARRELS UP ON THE SIDE AND THEY MILK IT FOR THE SAP 24:13 OVER NIGHT. 24:14 OH INTERESTING. 24:15 AND OUT COMES ALL THE LIQUID WHICH THEY MAKE THE 24:18 BEER WITH FERMENTATION. 24:21 OH INTERESTING. 24:22 BUT THEY CAN'T SELL IT IN THE CITY. 24:23 THEY ARE ALL ADVENTISTS SO THEY HAVE TO CARRY IT OUT 24:27 TO THE NEXT CITY. 24:28 THE MAIN REASON I GO IS TO SEE THE GOSPEL OUTREACH 24:34 WORKERS. 24:35 TO VISIT WITH THEM, TO TALK ABOUT THEIR JOYS AND 24:40 THEIR DIFFICULTIES AND TO ENCOURAGE THEM, TO 24:44 MOTIVATE THEM IF I CAN AND TO CHANGE METHODS OF 24:50 SPREADING THE GOSPEL THAT I'VE HEARD ABOUT THAT HAS 24:53 WORKED IN OTHER PLACES AND SO I SHARE. 24:55 I'M THE PERSON THAT SHARES THE REASON THAT I'M THERE 24:58 AND GIVE THEM IDEAS OF HOW THEY CAN SPREAD THE 25:03 GOSPEL. 25:04 OH FANTASTIC. 25:05 SO WHAT WAS IT LIKE FOR BOTH OF YOU ON THIS RECENT 25:07 TRIP? 25:07 WHAT WAS IT LIKE? 25:08 WHAT DID YOU COME HOME WITH JUST FEELING A SENSE 25:11 OF ELMER? 25:12 WELL WE REALIZE THE GREATNESS OF THE WORK AND 25:17 THE FEW PEOPLE THERE ARE TO WORK THIS WHOLE AREA. 25:21 WE NEED HUNDREDS MORE. 25:24 WE WANT JESUS TO COME SOON. 25:26 ABSOLUTELY. 25:27 BEV HOW ABOUT YOU? 25:28 I THINK HE SAID IT VERY WELL. 25:29 WE NEED WORKERS. 25:31 WE HAVE IN THIS ONE AREA WE HAD FIFTEEN WORKERS. 25:35 WE COULD USE 150 WORKERS. 25:36 WE HAVE SOME FANTASTIC LEADERSHIP IN SOME OF 25:40 THESE AREAS AND THEY ARE ON FIRE. 25:42 THEY ARE EVANGELICAL IN THEIR APPROACH. 25:45 THEY WANT TO PREACH THE GOSPEL AND THEY WANT 25:48 EVERYBODY ELSE TO PREACH IT TOO. 25:50 THEY WANT EVERY MEMBER TO BE PREACHERS. 25:53 AND THEY ARE WORKING AT THAT. 25:56 TOTAL MEMBER INVOLVEMENT. 25:57 WE LOVE IT. 25:58 AND THEY ARE PREACHING THE GOSPEL AND WE'RE SEEING 26:02 MUCH GOOD RESULTS. 26:03 WELL AND IT'S A BEAUTIFUL THING WITH THE MODEL HERE 26:06 AT GOSPEL OUTREACH WITH THESE GOSPEL OUTREACH 26:09 WORKERS. 26:10 THEY KNOW THE LANGUAGE, THEY LIVE THERE, THEY'RE 26:12 RUBBING SHOULDERS WITH PEOPLE AND WE NEED TO BE 26:14 DOING THE SAME THING. 26:15 WE NEED TO BE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS NO MATTER 26:17 WHERE WE ARE AS CHRISTIANS. 26:19 AND OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS ARE GOING TO THESE 26:22 SCHOOLS AND TEACHING THEIR MORALS CLASS WHICH IS THEY 26:25 TAKE IT FROM THE BIBLE AND THEY ARE GOING TO THE 26:27 PARENTS AND TELLING THE PARENTS THE SAME STORIES. 26:30 AND SO THE WHOLE FAMILY CAN COME TO JESUS. 26:33 WELL PRAISE THE LORD BEVERLY AND ELMER. 26:35 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE AND THANK YOU 26:37 FOR SHARING ALL OF THE JOY THAT IS COMING FROM THIS 26:41 SCHOOL BECAUSE OF JESUS BEING THERE. 26:43 SO MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU AND PLEASE GREET THE 26:44 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 26:45 AND WE WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART 26:48 OF GOSPEL OUTREACH HERE. 26:49 THANK YOU FOR WATCHING ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS. 26:51 WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATIONS, YOUR PRAYERS 26:53 AND YOU DID HEAR OF THE
