02:14 SO, MARJ, GARY WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO ADOPT A WORKER? 02:17 WELL, WHAT IT MEANS WE HAVE OVER 2000 WORKERS 02:23 HOWEVER, SOME OF THESE WORKERS ARE SPONSORED BY A 02:26 SPECIFIC INDIVIDUAL WHO PAYS A MONTHLY STIPEND TO 02:31 SUPPORT THEM. 02:32 IT MEANS THAT THAT PERSON HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET 02:36 TO KNOW A SPECIFIC WORKER, LEARN ABOUT THEM. 02:40 YOU CAN LEARN WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE MARRIED, 02:42 WHETHER OR NOT THEY HAVE CHILDREN, THE VILLAGES 02:45 THAT THEY SERVE IN, HOW LONG AGO THEY'VE BEEN 02:48 WORKING, WHATEVER BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION 02:51 WE HAVE ABOUT THEM. 02:52 THERE ARE MANY, MANY OTHER BENEFITS. 02:55 YES. 02:56 GARY, WANT TO JUMP IN WITH ANYTHING HERE?

03:35 MOST OF THE TIME THEY DO. 03:36 IT DEPENDS ON THE AREA WHERE THE WORKER IS 03:40 WORKING. 03:41 EXACTLY. 03:42 SOME AREAS ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE WORKING IN SOME 03:43 DANGEROUS AREAS THERE WILL NOT BE ANY PICTURES. 03:46 SOME CLOSED COUNTRIES, THINGS LIKE THAT OK. 03:48 ALRIGHT. 03:49 SO, SOMEONE IS WANTING TO BE INVOLVED WITH GOSPEL 03:52 OUTREACH AND THIS IS A WAY THAT KIND OF BRIDGES THE 03:55 MILES, THE DISTANCE AND ALL OF THAT AND MAKES THE 03:58 PERSON, THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER HAVE A, 04:01 HAVE MORE INFORMATION FOR THEM. 04:04 ABSOLUTELY. 04:05 WHAT IS SO AWESOME ABOUT THIS IS THAT THE WORKER 04:07 SENDS PERIODIC REPORTS. 04:08 THOSE REPORTS ARE RECEIVED BY THE SPONSORS AND YOU 04:12 GET TO BASICALLY TRACK WHAT THEY ARE DOING OUT IN 04:16 THE FIELD. 04:17 FOR EXAMPLE, A WORKERS PRIMARY AREA MAYBE ONE 04:19 VILLAGE AND YOU LEARN THAT THAT WORKER MAY WALK AS 04:23 MANY AS 50 KILOMETERS TO MULTIPLE NEIGHBORING 04:26 VILLAGES TO DO OUTREACH MINISTRY. 04:29 WOW. 04:30 SOMETIMES THEY ARE CHALLENGED -LACK OF 04:31 TRANSPORTATION BUT NOT ONLY THAT SOME OF THESE 04:37 WORKERS ARE IN AREAS WHERE THERE ARE NO ROADS. 04:44 THERE ARE TRACKS TO WHERE THEY HAVE TO GO. 04:46 THERE ARE RIVERS TO CROSS. 04:48 SOMETIMES THEY GO INTO AREAS WHERE THERE ARE 04:51 DANGEROUS ANIMALS, BEARS, TIGERS YOU KNOW, OTHER 04:55 KINDS OF DANGERS AND YOU GET TO FEEL WITH THEM, 04:58 UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE GOING THROUGH AS THEY ARE 05:01 SERVING. 05:02 SO, WHAT YOU ARE SAYING MARJ, IS THAT THE GOSPEL 05:05 OUTREACH WORKER IN THE PHILIPPINES WHO WORKS UP 05:07 HIGH IN THE MOUNTAINS IS NOT GETTING IN THEIR 4 05:10 WHEEL DRIVE AND IN 20 MINUTES THEY ARE TO THE 05:13 NEXT VILLAGE. 05:14 THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU ARE TELLING US, RIGHT?

16:51 FOR EXAMPLE, THEY WILL TEACH THEM HOW TO GARDEN. 16:54 IN ONE AREA, THEY SET UP A SEWING ROOM AND THEY TEACH 16:58 THE LADIES HOW TO SEW SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE SOME 17:02 INCOME. 17:05 ANOTHER ONE WHERE THEY ARE MAKING TOYS, MAKING 17:08 BROOMS, THEY GET INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY IN SO 17:12 MANY DIFFERENT WAYS. 17:14 SO, WHAT I'M HEARING YOU SAY IS THAT THESE GOSPEL 17:17 OUTREACH WORKERS THEY ARE LIKE EVERYWHERE. 17:20 THEY ARE IN THE TOWN, THEY ARE HELPING HERE THEY ARE 17:22 DOINGTHIS AND WHO IS THE "GO TO" PERSON WHEN 17:25 SOMEONE NEEDS HELP?
