00:01 GOSPEL OUTREACH PRESENTS "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS."
00:33 WELCOME TO ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS HERE AT GOSPEL 00:34 OUTREACH. 00:35 I'M JULIE SANDERS KEYMER AND DID YOU KNOW THAT AS A 00:38 CHRISTIAN YOU HAVE THE POWER IN YOU TO BE A 00:41 WITNESS. 00:42 THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS IN ACTS 1:8. 00:44 BUT YOU WILL RECEIVE POWER WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES 00:47 UPON YOU AND YOU WILL BE MY WITNESSES IN JERUSALEM 00:51 AND IN ALL OF JUDEA AND SAMARIA AND TO THE ENDS OF 00:54 EARTH. 00:55 AND THAT MEANS US. 00:56 AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE WANTING TO DO HERE AT 00:58 GOSPEL OUTREACH AS WE SHARE JESUS, HIS LOVE, HIS 01:01 FORGIVENESS AND THE FACT THAT HE IS COMING BACK 01:04 AGAIN. 01:05 IN THE 10/40 WINDOW, THAT HUGE SECTION OF OUR GLOBE 01:07 THAT GOES ALL THE WAY FROM WEST AFRICA THROUGH 01:10 HEAVILY, HEAVILY POPULATED COUNTRIES LIKE INDIA AND 01:12 CHINA AND ENDS IN JAPAN. 01:15 AND IT'S FROM 10 TO 40 DEGREES NORTH OF THE 01:17 EQUATOR AND SO MANY BILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO 01:20 LIVE IN THIS AREA. 01:21 SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT. 01:23 IT'S A LITTLE OVERWHELMING BUT NOT WHEN YOU HAVE THE 01:26 POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOU, RIGHT BEVERLY AND 01:29 ELMER? 01:29 THAT'S RIGHT. 01:30 YES. 01:31 WELCOME BEVERLY THOMPSON NELSON AND ELMER NELSON. 01:33 WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SOME EXCITING THINGS HERE AT 01:35 GOSPEL OUTREACH RIGHT. 01:36 AND IT IS EXCITING. 01:38 WELL WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THIS, WHEN JESUS HAS 01:40 SHARED THIS AND AS HE SHARED THIS WITH THE 01:43 DISCIPLES AND THEN THEY WENT ON, THE WENT ON PART 01:46 THAT'S US RIGHT. 01:47 THAT'S RIGHT. 01:48 AND YOU TWO ARE VERY INVOLVED HERE AT GOSPEL 01:50 OUTREACH. 01:51 AND TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE POWER THAT YOU 01:54 WERE SEEING HOW THE LORD IS WORKING. 01:56 I SEE THE POWER SO MAGNIFICENT THAT OUR AREA 02:00 WANTS TO HAVE TEN TIMES AS MANY GOSPEL OUTREACH 02:01 WORKERS AS WE HAVE. 02:02 AND THAT'S A LOT OF WORKERS. 02:03 THEY COULD USE A HUNDRED TIMES EVEN. 02:04 THEY WANT IT AND THEY JUST FEEL IF THEY COULD HAVE 02:05 THAT MANY WORKERS IT WOULD JUST OPEN UP THE FIELD. 02:06 THE THING IS THEY HAVE OPPOSITION AND THE 02:08 OPPOSITION CAN GET OVER WHELMED IF WE HAVE MANY. 02:09 AND WHERE IS YOUR AREA? 02:10 NORTHEAST INDIA. 02:10 NORTHEAST INDIA. 02:11 AND WE HAVE SOME INFORMATION ABOUT INDIA 02:12 THIS YEAR. 02:13 INDIA HAS 1.3 BILLION PEOPLE IN THEIR COUNTRY. 02:14 YES. 02:15 AND HINDUISM IS A VERY HEAVY PART OF IT. 02:16 AND RIGHT NOW THE POLITICAL PART IS THAT THE 02:18 HINDUS ARE STRONGER AND THE ARE WANTING TO HAVE 02:19 MORE POWER OVER THE CHRISTIAN PEOPLE. 02:20 WE HAVE A WONDERFUL MESSAGE. 02:21 WELL THE LIVING GOD. 02:22 DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY GODS THEY HAVE IN HINDU? 02:23 TELL ME ELMER. 02:24 THEY HAVE THREE MILLION GODS. 02:49 UNBELIEVABLE. 03:07 AND HOW DO YOU KEEP UP WITH ALL OF THEM? 03:09 YOU DON'T. 03:10 I'M TOLD THAT THE HINDU PEOPLE USUALLY COLLECT OH 03:14 SIX, SEVEN OR EIGHT GODS AND THEY KEEP THOSE AS 03:16 THEIR MAJOR GODS. 03:17 MAJOR GODS, OKAY. 03:19 BUT THERE ARE THREE MILLION TO SELECT FROM AND 03:22 THAT'S INCREDIBLE. 03:23 WELL AND THAT'S A BIG MONEY-MAKING THING FOR THE 03:26 PEOPLE WHO MAKE THE GODS. 03:28 SO ELMER THIS IS AN INTERESTING JOURNEY FOR 03:31 YOU BECAUSE TELL OUR VIEWERS ABOUT YOUR 03:33 CONNECTION WITH INDIA BEFORE GOSPEL OUTREACH. 03:36 WELL MY CONNECTION IS VERY INTERESTING BECAUSE IT 03:40 STARTED SEVERAL DECADES AGO. 03:43 I WAS BORN THERE AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 83 AND A 03:48 HALF YEARS I GOT TO VISIT THE AREA WHERE I WAS BORN. 03:52 OH HOW NEAT. 03:53 AND NOW THAT YOU AND BEVERLY ARE A TEAM THIS IS 03:57 A GOOD THING BECAUSE INDIA IS NEAR AND DEAR TO YOUR 03:59 HEART I KNOW BEV. 04:00 SO TELL US ABOUT THE AREA THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE 04:02 FOCUSING ON HERE ON OUR PROGRAM TODAY. 04:04 THIS IS EAST JHARKHAND. 04:05 IT'S A STATE IN THE NORTHEAST PART OF INDIA. 04:06 AND WE HAVE ENOUGH MEMBERS THAT WE HAD TO DIVIDE EAST 04:07 FROM WEST AND SO THERE IS WEST JHARKHAND AND THERE'S 04:09 EAST JHARKHAND. 04:10 AND IT IS ONE STATE BUT IT'S NOT BIG ENOUGH, 04:11 DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH MEMBERS AND ENOUGH TITHE 04:14 TO SUPPORT A CONFERENCE AND SO IT'S DIVIDED IN 04:16 HALF AS TWO SECTIONS. 04:17 AND THE EAST SECTION IS WHERE WE'RE GOING. 04:23 WE HAVE A WONDERFUL LEADER THERE RIGHT NOW PASTOR 04:31 ALFRED KESKU AND HIS WIFE MARTA IS A WONDERFUL HELP 04:38 TO HIM. 04:39 AND HE IS AN EVANGELIST AT HEART. 04:42 AND HE KEEPS THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS AND 04:46 ANYONE THAT IS WITH HIM INSPIRED FOR SHARING THE 04:51 GOSPEL. 04:52 AND IT'S A VERY THRILLING PART OF MY VISIT TO GO TO 04:55 EAST JHARKHAND. 04:57 FANTASTIC, FANTASTIC. 04:58 AND I KNOW THAT YOU ALWAYS TAKE PICTURES AND YOU HAVE 05:00 PICTURES TO SHARE WITH US. 05:02 I SURE DO. 05:05 THIS IS YOU MIGHT SAY A ROADWAY OUT IN THE 05:07 COUNTRYSIDE OF EAST JHARKHAND. 05:10 AND THERE'S A WALL THERE AND THAT WALL HAS RECENTLY 05:13 BEEN BUILT BY DONATIONS FOR A SCHOOL. 05:17 THIS IS THE ----------- SCHOOL AND THE NEW GATE. 05:22 EVERYTHING SURROUNDING IT IS NEW BECAUSE THEY HAVE 05:24 HAD SOME PROBLEMS WITH MARAUDERS COMING THROUGH 05:27 THEIR CAMPUS. 05:28 SO THIS IS MORE FOR SECURITY AND ALL OF THAT. 05:31 YES, A BOUNDARY SECURITY. 05:32 AND LOOK AT THE WAY THEY WELCOME US. 05:34 ELDER ELMER. 05:35 I LIKE THAT SEE. 05:37 (LAUGHTER) I NEED TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE WALL. 05:40 THE WALL THAT YOU SAW IS VERY VERY INTERESTING AND 05:43 IT'S GOOD SECURITY. 05:46 THEY HAD A TRAIL GOING RIGHT THROUGH THE CAMPUS 05:49 TO THE NEXT CITY. 05:51 EVERYBODY WOULD GO ON THE TRAIL. 05:53 THEY WOULD PICK WHATEVER VEGETABLE THEY WANTED AND 05:55 CONTINUE ON THROUGH AND HAVE DINNER WHEN THEY GOT 05:59 THERE. 06:00 OH INTERESTING. 06:01 SO THEY NEEDED A WALL. 06:02 THEY NEEDED THE WALL. 06:03 NOW THEY HAVE MORE VEGETABLES FOR COOKING FOR 06:06 THEIR OWN SCHOOL GROUP. 06:08 WE JUST SHOWED YOU THEIR WELCOME. 06:10 HOW NICE. 06:11 THEY HAD PLASTIC PAPER PLATES AND THEY WROTE 06:16 WELCOME ON THEM AND DECORATED THEM. 06:17 AND THEN THEY DID A LITTLE DANCE AND A SONG TO 06:20 WELCOME US. 06:21 I MEAN I FELT LIKE A QUEEN. 06:24 HOW NICE. 06:25 WHAT A PRIVILEGE IT WAS FOR US TO VISIT THERE. 06:28 AND THIS PICTURE SHOWS YOU OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH 06:33 WORKERS IN THAT AREA WITH PASTOR ALFRED KESKU TO THE 06:36 LEFT OF ELMER AND HIS WIFE MARTA TO THE RIGHT OF ME 06:41 AND THE UNION REPRESENTATIVE. 06:44 OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 06:46 WE ALL GET TOGETHER AND WE ALL CAN TALK ABOUT WHAT 06:50 HAPPENED DURING THE LAST YEAR THAT WAS GOOD, WHAT 06:54 TROUBLES OR DIFFICULTIES DID YOU HAVE. 06:56 AND THEN WE CAN ENCOURAGE THEM AND GIVE THEM IDEAS 07:01 OF HOW THEY CAN SPREAD THE GOSPEL. 07:03 WELL AND YOU HIT ON A WORD THERE BEVERLY. 07:05 I THINK THIS WORD ENCOURAGEMENT IS HUGE. 07:07 I'M LISTENING TO A RADIO SERIES RIGHT NOW ON 07:09 ENCOURAGEMENT. 07:10 AND JESUS ENCOURAGED HIS DISCIPLES AND 07:13 ENCOURAGEMENT IS REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT 07:15 ESPECIALLY WHEN WE ARE MAYBE HAVING A DIFFICULT 07:18 TIME OR SOMEONE ELSE IS HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME. 07:21 AND LIFE IS NOT EASY AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THE 07:24 HOPE OF HEAVEN AS WE KNOW THAT THERE IS SOMETHING 07:26 BETTER. 07:27 BUT I THINK THIS WORD ENCOURAGEMENT IS SOMETHING 07:29 THAT AS CHRISTIANS WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE 07:30 ENCOURAGING EACH OTHER AND OTHER PEOPLE AND THEIR 07:33 CHILDREN. 07:34 ABSOLUTELY. 07:35 THEY NEED THE ENCOURAGEMENT. 07:36 ABSOLUTELY. 07:37 WE PRAY TOGETHER, WE SING TOGETHER, WE SHARE 07:41 TOGETHER. 07:42 IT'S A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. 07:44 AND THEN WHEN I FIND SOMETHING THAT'S WORKING 07:48 FOR SOMEONE IN ANOTHER PLACE I TELL THEM IN 07:51 ANOTHER PLACE. 07:52 FOR EXAMPLE, ONE OF THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS 07:55 WENT TO A GOVERNMENT SCHOOL AND OFFERED TO 07:57 TEACH THE MORALS CLASS. 07:58 OH. 08:00 AND THE PRINCIPAL WELCOMED HIM AND SAID YOU CAN TEACH 08:01 IT FOR THE REST OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. 08:02 HE THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO DO IT FOR ONE TIME. 08:04 OH NO, HE GOT HIRED RIGHT THERE. 08:05 YOU KNOW WHAT MORALS CLASS REALLY IS? 08:06 WELL TELL ME WHAT IT IS IN INDIA. 08:08 IT'S BIBLE STUDY. 08:08 WELL SEE, THERE YOU GO. 08:09 SO I'VE TOLD THIS TO ALL OF MY GOSPEL OUTREACH 08:10 WORKERS NOW. 08:11 GO AND OFFER TO TEACH THE MORALS CLASS. 08:12 MORALS CLASS. 08:13 SO THIS GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER, HAS HE CONTINUED? 08:14 YES HE DID FOR THE WHOLE SCHOOL YEAR. 08:16 AND THEN WHAT HE DID IS HE WENT TO THE PARENTS OF 08:18 THESE CHILDREN AND TOLD THE PARENTS THE STORIES 08:39 AND WHAT HE WAS TEACHING THE CHILDREN IN SCHOOL. 08:41 THEY ARE BRINGING ALL OF THE FAMILY TOGETHER 08:42 INSTEAD OF ONE-PERSON THAT IS MAYBE GOING TO HAVE TO 08:46 LEAVE HOME BECAUSE THEY HAVE ACCEPTED 08:49 CHRISTIANITY. 08:50 NO THE WHOLE FAMILY LEARNS ABOUT IT AND ACCEPTS IT 08:54 TOGETHER. 08:55 WELL FANTASTIC. 08:56 SO THE SCHOOL, CHRISTIAN SCHOOL. 08:58 HOW MANY KIDS THERE ABOUT? 09:00 THERE ARE ABOUT 150 AT THIS SCHOOL AND IT'S A 09:02 BOARDING SCHOOL. 09:02 TUITION IS ABOUT? 09:04 HERE IT'S ABOUT THIRTY DOLLARS A MONTH. 09:06 WOW. 09:07 CAN PARENTS AFFORD THAT? 09:08 THIS IS FOR THEIR ROOM AND BOARD AND TUITION. 09:14 IT IS A STRETCH BUT WHENEVER YOU'RE THINKING 09:17 ABOUT THEIR WHOLE TOTAL CARE YOU CAN BE HAVING 09:21 PARENTS WORK AT HOME AND A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS IS 09:24 GETTING A SALARY SO BETWEEN THE SALARY OF THE 09:30 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER AND THE SECOND PARENT DOING 09:34 SOMETHING TO EARN MONEY FOR FOOD FOR THEMSELVES. 09:37 SO THEY ARE ABLE TO DO THAT. 09:38 IT IS PROBABLY THE LEAST EXPENSIVE BOARDING SCHOOL 09:42 THAT I KNOW OF IN INDIA. 09:43 WOW. 09:44 MANY OF THEM ARE THREE TIMES, FOUR TIMES MORE 09:45 THAN THAT. 09:45 OKAY. 09:46 SO YOU'RE TOGETHER WITH THE GOSPEL OUTREACH 09:47 WORKERS. 09:48 YOU'RE ABLE TO SHARE TOGETHER, TO ENCOURAGE, TO 09:49 FIND OUT WHAT WORKS AND WHAT HASN'T. 09:51 AND HERE AT THIS SCHOOL IT'S JUST AN AMAZING PLACE 09:57 BECAUSE THEY KEEP IT LOOKING PRETTY. 10:02 THE FLOWERS. 10:04 BUT I'D LIKE YOU TO HAVE A TOUR OF THE CAMPUS. 10:08 BEFORE WE GOT THE WALL BUILT THERE, THE BOUNDARY 10:11 WALL, THERE IS A VILLAGE RIGHT NEXT DOOR AND THEY 10:14 WOULD SNEAK OVER AT NIGHT AND GET THE VEGETABLES. 10:17 WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT ELMER WOULD BE 10:18 PEOPLE WALKING THROUGH BUT THESE GUYS ARE GOING OVER. 10:21 THE TRAIL GOES RIGHT THROUGH THERE, THE PATHWAY 10:23 BUT NOT NOW BECAUSE THE WALL IS UP. 10:25 THEY PUT UP A TEMPORARY WALL FOR AWHILE AND THE 10:29 NEIGHBORS WOULD STILL JUMP THE FENCE OR GO UNDER IT 10:31 AND GET WHAT THEY WANTED. 10:33 SO WE HAVE GLASS ON TOP OF THE WALL. 10:35 OH, SHARDS OF GLASS, BROKEN GLASS UP THERE. 10:38 OK. 10:39 BUT HERE'S OUR BEAUTIFUL GARDEN. 10:41 IT'S BEAUTIFUL. 10:42 AND THE GREENS AND THE ONIONS AND THE GARLIC. 10:46 AND THEN WE HAD TOMATOES AND THEY PUT THEM UP ON 10:49 BAMBOO SO THEY DON'T ROT ON THE GROUND. 10:52 AND CABBAGES. 10:54 CABBAGE, WOW, LOOK AT THAT. 10:55 AND LOOK AT THOSE TREES. 10:56 THERE ARE MANGO TREES AND THERE ARE OTHER FRUIT 10:59 TREES. 10:59 LYCHEE TREE, MANGOS. 11:02 AND THEY HAVE THREE WATER PUMPS, THREE WELLS ON THE 11:08 PROPERTY. 11:09 ONE FOR BOYS, ONE FOR GIRLS AND ONE FOR THE 11:12 GARDEN. 11:13 I'M GLAD TO HEAR THIS BECAUSE I KNOW THAT AT ONE 11:15 OF THE OTHER SCHOOLS THAT YOU SHARED THE WATER IS A 11:18 KILOMETER AWAY AND THAT IS JUST UNBELIEVABLE. 11:20 THIS IS A VERY SWEET FRUIT AND I DON'T REMEMBER THE 11:22 NAME BUT IT IS VERY DELICIOUS. 11:25 OK. 11:26 AND THEY HAVE TWO BULLOCKS. 11:28 AND THEY HAVE NINE ACRES OF LAND WHERE THEY GROW 11:31 RICE FOR THE KIDS THERE. 11:33 AND SO THEY KEEP THESE TWO BULLOCKS ON CAMPUS AND 11:36 THEY MOVE THEM AROUND TO EAT THE GRASS AND KEEP THE 11:38 GRASS UNDER CONTROL. 11:40 ANOTHER INTERESTING THING WAS ONE GOAT KEEPER TOOK 11:47 HIS TENTH OFF SPRING FROM THE GOATS AND BROUGHT IT 11:52 AS TITHE TO THE SCHOOL AND NOW THEY HAVE TWO BABY 11:54 GOATS THAT HAVE GROWN FAIRLY BIG NOW. 12:01 AND THE PASTOR PUT THE GOAT ON THE CAMPUS SO THEY 12:04 COULD HAVE MILK FOR THE STUDENTS. 12:06 ISN'T THIS GREAT. 12:07 THIS IS ANOTHER WELL ON THE CAMPUS AND THIS IS 12:14 WHERE THEY WILL DO THE LAUNDRY. 12:16 AND YOU SAID AGAIN ABOUT HOW MANY STUDENTS? 12:18 ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY. 12:19 ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY, OKAY. 12:21 AND THIS IS THE CLASS ROOM BUILDING. 12:23 AND THIS WAS DONATED BY SOMEBODY LOCALLY HERE IN 12:28 WALLA WALLA. 12:30 AND THIS SIDE HAS THE GIRLS DORMITORY AND 12:33 TEACHERS QUARTERS AND THE CAFETERIA ALL IN A LINE 12:38 THERE. 12:39 ALL IN A LINE. 12:40 BUT I'VE GOT TO TAKE YOU INSIDE THE GIRLS 12:41 DORMITORY. 12:42 THE BUNK BEDS ARE PUT TWO TOGETHER AND A LITTLE 12:48 SPACE BETWEEN THEM. 12:50 AND THEN 26 GIRLS IN ONE ROOM. 12:55 OH MY. 12:56 YOU SEE THAT. 12:57 BLESS THEIR LITTLE HEARTS. 12:58 AND THEY HAVE A PRIVATE WASHROOM. 13:02 AND AT THE VERY END OF THE WASHROOM ARE THEIR TOILETS 13:06 AND THEY ARE JUST LITTLE STALLS. 13:07 YOU KNOW AGAIN, AS WE SEE THESE PICTURES I HOPE THAT 13:12 WE ARE SHARING GENEROUSLY FROM WHAT WE HAVE AND NOT 13:15 COMPLAINING. 13:16 THESE PEOPLE ARE SO SATISFIED WITH WHAT THEY 13:19 HAVE HERE. 13:20 HERE THEY'VE GOT THIS PRIVACY FOR THEIR GIRLS IN 13:22 THIS DORMITORY. 13:23 AND THEY ARE VERY PROUD OF THAT. 13:24 THEY ARE HAPPY. 13:25 WELL AND IN PHILIPPIANS WHERE PAUL TALKS ABOUT 13:28 BEING CONTENT IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, JUST TO BE 13:32 THANKFUL FOR THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE. 13:35 SO IF YOU'RE ENJOYING LISTENING TO BEV'S AND 13:38 ELMER'S

14:31 GREED. 14:33 HUMANITY. 14:34 WE NEED LOVE, WE NEED HOPE, WE NEED A SAVIOR. 14:42 MORE THAN ONE THIRD OF THE WORLD'S SEVEN BILLION 14:45 PEOPLE STILL NEED TO HEAR ABOUT GOD'S LOVE AND HIS 14:49

SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. 15:58 AND YOU'VE TAKEN US TO A VERY SPECIAL PLACE IN 16:00 INDIA. 16:01 AND I KNOW YOU HAVE MORE STORIES BEVERLY. 16:04 YOU WOULD THINK THAT I WAS TALKING WITH YOU ABOUT A 16:07 SCHOOL BUT YOU KNOW THIS SCHOOL IS A BASE, IT'S A 16:11 PLACE WHERE WE MEET TO WORK WITH OUR GOSPEL 16:14 OUTREACH WORKERS. 16:15 THIS IS A PART OF THE WORK THAT THE GOSPEL OUTREACH 16:18 WORKERS ARE DOING IS TEACHING THE MORALS CLASS 16:21 IN SCHOOLS AND THEN GOING AND VISITING THEIR 16:24 FAMILIES. 16:25 AND THESE ARE THE KIDS WHO HAD MEMORIZED PERFECTLY 16:29 EXODUS 20: 1-17. 16:31 AND THEY HAVE THEIR TOYS THAT THEY ARE SHOWING. 16:33 THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. 16:35 GUESS WHERE WE FOUND THESE TOYS. 16:37 TELL ME. 16:38 WE GET THEM AS DONATIONS RIGHT HERE AT GOSPEL 16:41 OUTREACH. 16:41 WELL FANTASTIC. 16:43 AND SO YOU'VE GOT SUITCASES LOADED UP WITH 16:45 TOYS. 16:45 SUITCASE LOADED. 16:48 WE LOVE TO TAKE THESE FOR THE PURPOSE OF TELLING THE 16:51 KIDS IF YOU MEMORIZE EXODUS 20:1-17 YOU'LL GET 16:54 A TOY. 16:55 AND OUR CHURCHES DONATE THEM. 16:59 IT IS SABBATH AND I AM WANTING TO TAKE YOU TO A 17:03 BAPTISM. 17:04 AND THIS IS ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS FOR MY 17:06 PICTURES TODAY. 17:08 AND THIS IS GOING THROUGH THE FIRST VILLAGE AFTER WE 17:11 LEFT THE SCHOOL. 17:14 ON UP THE ROAD YOU CAN SEE IT'S THE END OF THE DRY 17:18 SEASON SO IT'S HARVEST TIME. 17:20 AND THEN WE GO ON. 17:22 OH DEAR, I RECOGNIZE THIS. 17:24 THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF BEER MAKING. 17:27 OH, RIGHT THERE. 17:29 RIGHT THERE ON THE ROAD. 17:30 HERE THIS MAN HE IS THE COLLECTOR OF THE SAP FROM 17:33 THE PALM TREE. 17:34 IT IS A DATE PALM, AND HE LET US TAKE PICTURES OF 17:35 HIM CLIMBING UP THE TREE THERE. 17:36 HE TOOK AN EMPTY BUCKET UP AND DID A LITTLE MORE 17:37 CUTTING ON THE TREE AND TOOK THE SAP THAT WAS 17:38 THERE AND WENT BACK DOWN THE TREE AND LEFT AN EMPTY 17:41 BUCKET UP AT THE TOP OF THE TREE. 17:44 WHEN HE GOT TO THE BOTTOM WE LOOKED AT HIS WARES AND 17:58 THIS IS WHAT HE HAD BROUGHT DOWN. 18:00 AND SO THEN IT FERMENTS OVER TIME. 18:02 THEY PUT A FERMENTING AGENT IN IT. 18:06 THEY DO. 18:07 OK. 18:08 BUT THE SAP RUNS AT NIGHT. 18:10 IT DOESN'T RUN DURING THE DAY AND SO HE GOES UP AND 18:13 GATHERS IT FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. 18:16 RIGHT THERE IS THE DISTILLERY. 18:18 AND THESE LADIES HAVE BEEN UP THE MOUNTAIN GATHERING 18:22 STICKS TO CARRY ON THEIR HEADS BACK TO THE VILLAGES 18:25 TO CUT UP AND SELL TO PEOPLE FOR COOKING WOOD. 18:28 WOW. 18:29 CAN YOU IMAGINE. 18:30 YOU KNOW I CAN'T IMAGINE THE WEIGHT. 18:32 I MEAN JUST THINK. 18:33 OH AND NOTICE THE MEN. 18:35 THE MEN HAVE THE CART. 18:37 OK, ALRIGHT. 18:38 THEY'RE BRINGING TWICE AS MUCH. 18:44 AND THE MEN ARE TOUGH ON THEIR BICYCLES. 18:48 THEY CAN HAVE A THOUSAND POUNDS OF COAL EITHER IN 18:51 THE BIG SLABS OR IN SACKS LIKE THIS. 18:53 THAT'S COAL ON THAT BICYCLE? 18:55 THAT'S COAL. 18:56 OK, SO THAT IS A LOT OF WORK. 18:58 WOW. 18:58 GOING UP AND DOWN HILLS. 19:00 THEY HAVE TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE PERSON PUSH A 19:03 BICYCLE UP THE HILL AND SO THEY USUALLY GO IN 19:06 CARAVANS TOGETHER AND THEN WHEN THEY GO DOWN THE HILL 19:10 IT CAN BE JUST AS DANGEROUS. 19:11 AND YOU NOTICE HE NEVER RIDES. 19:14 HE BALANCES IT AND PUSHES. 19:17 OH DEAR. 19:18 BUT WE GOT OFF THE ROAD AND IT BECAME A DIRT ROAD 19:22 AND THEN IT CAME, OH I HAD TO SHOW YOU WHAT IT WAS 19:28 LIKE OFF THE MAIN ROAD. 19:29 IT IS A FARMING COMMUNITY. 19:31 VERY RURAL. 19:32 AND IT'S JUST BEAUTIFUL. 19:34 BUT WE GOT TO A PLACE THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHICH WAY TO 19:37 GO. 19:39 THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS WERE THE ONES THAT 19:41 WERE OUT THERE DOING THE WORK OF HARVESTING SOULS 19:43 AND HE WAS COMING FOR THE BAPTISM AND HE DIDN'T KNOW 19:46 THE WAY SO HE HAD TO TELEPHONE SOMEBODY TO 19:49 COME. 19:50 AND HERE OUR GUIDE CAME ON A MOTORCYCLE TO TAKE US ON 19:53 THIS ROCKY DIRT ROAD FOR THE BAPTISM. 19:57 AND YOU CAN SEE HOW OUR ROAD IS. 20:01 NO WONDER WE DIDN'T KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO. 20:03 YOU KNOW I'M LAUGHING BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN IN 20:06 SITUATIONS LIKE THIS AND IT'S LIKE, LORD I DON'T 20:09 KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING BUT YOU DO. 20:10 AND YOU JUST HAVE TO SMILE. 20:13 THAT'S RIGHT. 20:14 AND WHEN WE SAW THIS WATER THAT OUR ROAD TURNED INTO 20:17 WE WERE ALL INTENTLY LOOKING. 20:19 WELL LET'S GET ACROSS IT AND THEN LOOK. 20:22 AND I THINK AS SOON AS WE GOT ACROSS THAT IS WHERE 20:24 WE DECIDED TO BAIL OUT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE 20:27 ROAD LOOKED LIKE. 20:29 SO YOU LEFT THE VEHICLE THERE. 20:30 WE ALL GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE EXCEPT FOR THE 20:32 DRIVER AND WHEN HE GOT TO THE TOP WE GOT BACK IN. 20:34 SO THE DRIVER KEPT DRIVING UP THAT IN THAT LITTLE 20:37 MINI VAN? 20:38 HE WENT UP. 20:39 AND THIS IS THE AREA. 20:41 THIS IS WHAT THE HOUSES LOOK LIKE UP THERE IN THIS 20:45 BACKWARD PLACE. 20:46 VERY INTERESTING. 20:48 AND THIS IS OUR PATHWAY. 20:50 THIS IS OUR ROADWAY. 20:53 AND THEN WE ARRIVED. 20:55 AND LOOK WHAT THEY HAD DONE. 20:56 THEY MADE ARCHES OUT OF BANANA PALM TREES. 20:58 HOW NICE. 20:59 AND PUT DECORATIONS UP. 21:02 THE KIDS ARE THERE. 21:03 OH YES. 21:04 AND THERE WERE TWO HOUSES FAIRLY CLOSE TOGETHER. 21:06 WE WERE WELCOMED BY THE GOAT. 21:08 AND THERE WAS ONE LITTLE BABY GOAT THAT JUST WANTED 21:11 TO FOLLOW US EVERYWHERE WE WENT. 21:12 INSIDE THE CHURCH. 21:13 INTO THE CHURCH, HOW SPECIAL. 21:15 THEY HAD MADE A CHURCH WITH CANVAS TARPS ACROSS 21:20 FROM ONE ROOF TO THE OTHER OF THE TWO HOUSES. 21:22 SO WE NEED TO PAUSE HERE BEV. 21:24 THIS IS ALL BECAUSE OF THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER 21:25 COMING AND SHARING JESUS. 21:26 MORE THAN ONE BUT YES. 21:27 SO THESE ARE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS WHO HAVE 21:28 GONE TO THIS REMOTE, IT'S NOT EVEN A VILLAGE IS IT? 21:29 IT'S SEVERAL VILLAGES THAT ARE IN FAIRLY CLOSE 21:35 PROXIMITY WHERE THEY GO OUT AND DO SURVEYS AND ASK 21:44 THEM, WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW WHAT CHRISTIANS 21:46 BELIEVE. 21:47 SO HERE AFTER ALL THESE ROADS AND ALL THIS, HERE 21:49 ARE THESE PEOPLE. 21:50 THIS IS IT. 21:52 THAT'S WHY I WAS WANTING TO SHOW YOU THE WAY 21:53 BECAUSE THIS IS REMOTE. 21:55 THIS IS WAY OUT THERE. 21:56 YES. 21:57 AND THEN HERE IN THIS CHURCH, WE CALL IT A 22:01 CHURCH, THEY WELCOMED US BY WASHING OUR FEET. 22:04 OH DID THEY? 22:05 THEY GIVE YOU A GARLAND AND THEN WASH YOUR FEET. 22:08 OH HOW MOVING. 22:09 YES. 22:10 YOU KNOW HOW DUSTY THE ROADS ARE. 22:12 HOW MOVING. 22:13 AND THEN THE PEOPLE START TO GATHER. 22:15

24:02 AND ELMER YOU SAID THAT HOW MANY GODS ARE THERE IN 24:04 INDIA? 24:05 THREE MILLION GODS AND THAT'S MINIMUM. 24:09 THREE MILLION OK. 24:10 SO THEN HERE THESE PEOPLE HAVE MADE A CHOICE TO GO

THRILLING EXPERIENCE TO SEE THEM GET 24:30 BAPTIZED. 24:31 PRAISE THE LORD. 24:32 AND THE SINGING THAT WENT ON WHEN THE BAPTISM WAS 24:37 TAKING PLACE. 24:38 AND THEN THERE WERE PASSERS BY THAT WOULD COME 24:41 AND STOP AND GAWK AND THEN SIT DOWN, OH THIS IS GOING 24:48 ON. 24:49 AND THEY WOULD WATCH AND WATCH AND EVENTUALLY I GOT 24:54 THEIR PICTURE. 24:55 OH OF THE PASSERS BY. 24:57 YES, VERY
