02:53 SO, THAT'S WHY I CHOSE THAT ONE. 02:56 UH HUH. 02:57 IT'S KIND OF A LITTLE CHALLENGE ESPECIALLY FOR 02:58 MAYBE SOME OF THE INTERPRETERS OUT THERE. 03:00 PICK THAT ONE AND TRY TO DO SOME SYNTAX, YES THERE 03:06 ARE A LOT OF MEANINGS. 03:07 I'M THINKING OF HOW PROBABLY ORIGINALLY IN 03:08 ISAIAH BUT THEN JESUS QUOTED "IF YOU HAVE EARS 03:11 TO HEAR, HEAR" AND IT DOESN'T REALLY MEAN 03:15 HEARING LIKE THE PHYSIOLOGICAL THING. 03:18 THAT'S NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT, YOU KNOW. 03:20 YES. 03:21 IT'S TALKING ABOUT THE ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND AND 03:23 TO BE RECEPTIVE. 03:24 AND WHEN WE'RE INTERPRETING FOR THE DEAF 03:26 PEOPLE, THE REAL-TO FIGURE OUT- ISL WILL TYPICALLY 03:31 CHANGE HEARING TO SEEING IN ORDER TO MAKE IT 03:35 RELEVANT IN THE TARGET LANGUAGE. 03:37 YES, AND SO YOU KNOW IT JUST-WHEN YOU HAVE SEEING 03:42 AND HEARING TOGETHER IN THE SAME VERSE UH, IT CAN 03:46 BE A CHALLENGE AND SO IJUST WANTED TO KIND OF 03:49 PEAK YOUR INTEREST IN THAT. 03:50 YOU ARE SPENDING A LOT OF TIME THINKING ABOUT DEAF 03:55 BELIEVERS AND REACHING OUT AND BRINGING MORE PEOPLE 03:58 INTO THE COMMUNITY AND INTO THE FAMILY OF GOD WHO 04:01 ARE HEARING IMPAIRED OR ARE DEAF. 04:03 AND IN OTHER CULTURES, YES, SOMETIMES WE ARE 04:06 TALKING ABOUT A SEPARATION HERE BY TWO OR THREE 04:10 CULTURES. 04:11 BUT IT IS INTERESTING THAT AS CLOSE AS DIFFERENT AS 04:15 INDIA'S SIGN LANGUAGE IS OR ISL, UH HUH, FROM 04:19 AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE OFTEN WE ARE ABLE TO 04:22 COMMUNICATE USING OUR BASIC SIGN LANGUAGE 04:25 GESTURAL SKILLS ACROSS INTO THEIR LANGUAGE AND 04:30 CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS 04:33 THAT YOU HAVE TO DO, YES. 04:34 UM, BETTER THAN WE CAN DO THAT IN A HEARING LANGUAGE 04:40 AND ON THIS TRIP, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT 04:45 SOMETIMES TRANSLATION GOING THROUGH THREE OR 04:48 FOUR STEPS. 04:50 NOW YOU WENT RECENTLY TO INDIA AGAIN AND WHEN WE 04:55 WERE TALKING IN OUR FIRST OPPORTUNITY, OUR FIRST 04:57 SEGMENT TALKING ABOUT INDIA WE WERE TALKING 05:00 ABOUT A LOT OF CHURCHES WHERE THERE ARE BOTH DEAF 05:03 PEOPLE AND HEARING PEOPLE AND I KNOW THIS TIME YOU 05:05 WANT TO REALLY SHARE WITH US ABOUT THE CHURCHES YOU 05:07 VISITED THAT WERE JUST FOR THE DEAF. 05:09 WE ARE GETTING IN THE AREA YES. 05:12 YES. 05:13 AND I WANT YOU TO NOTICE THE LOOK OF THE CHURCHES. 05:17 IS IT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE SAW BEFORE?

MEMBERS AND NOTICE THE DECORATIONS, THE 08:02 INDIAN FESTIVITY KIND OF LOOK. 08:05 THIS IS A SIGN OF HONOR. 08:06 THEY TAKE JOY IN THE LORD. 08:08 I KIND TO LIKE TO THINK OF IT AS DAVID DANCING BEFORE 08:12 THE LORD OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 08:13 YES, THEY ARE MAKING IT BEAUTIFUL. 08:15 THEY DECORATE IT AND THAT'S THEIR CULTURE. 08:17 AH, SO THIS IS A VERY NICE CHURCH WITH A NICE YOUNG 08:22 BIBLE

DEAF AND SHE SPEAKS MORE INDIAN 08:59 SIGN LANGUAGE. 09:00 NEXT TO HER THE LADY BESIDE HER SPEAKS THE 09:05 TELUGU LANGUAGE AND INDIAN SIGN LANGUAGE SO SHE TAKES 09:09 CARE OF THAT. 09:11 AND PASTOR SUTUR SANAM WHOSE NEXT TO HER HANDLES 09:14 THE ENGLISH TO TELUGU TRANSLATION. 09:17 THERE IS A LOT OF LAYERS HERE. 09:19 THREE INTERPRETERS. 09:20 YES. 09:21 AND TWO GROUPS ON EITHER END OF THAT AND SOME OF 09:23 THEM IN THE MIDDLE. 09:24 YES, BECAUSE NOT ALL DEAF PEOPLE ARE COMPLETELY 09:26 DEAF. 09:27 SOME OF THEM CAN ACTUALLY CAN USE SOME LANGUAGE IF 09:29 IT AMPLIFIED SO. 09:30 UH HUH. 09:31 THIS IS THE WAY OUR TRIP WAS AND I HAD PEOPLE WITH 09:34 ME ALL THE TIME SUPPORTING AND I'D JUST LIKE TO TAKE 09:38 ANOTHER SIDE HERE. 09:39 BEFORE THIS TRIP I REALLY DIDN'T FEEL QUALIFIED TO 09:42 DO THIS. 09:43 I NEVER DID TO BEGIN WITH WHEN I WAS DOING THIS 09:45 WORK. 09:46 THIS TIME I JUST KIND OF GAVE IT UP AND I SAID, 09:49 "GOD, IF YOU WANT THIS TRIP TO BE SUCCESSFUL YOU 09:51 ARE GOING TO HAVE TO SEND YOUR HOLY SPIRIT." 09:53 UH HUH. 09:53 I LOVE HEARING YOU SAY THAT. 09:56 I THINK, YOU KNOW, THAT GOD IS JUST WAITING FOR 09:59 ALL OF US TO BE WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IT IS AND HE 10:04 IS PROVIDING EVERYTHING WE NEED ANYWAY. 10:05 HE IS STRONGER. 10:06 UH HUH. 10:07 WHEN WE ARE WEAKER. 10:08 YES. 10:09 SO, TRUE. 10:10 LET'S TAKE IT ON NOW. 10:11 FORMAL PICTURES ARE NICE BUT HERE'S ONE OF THE - IT 10:12 SAYS BONDIPALLI. 10:13 WELL, IT ALSO HAS PEDDABONDIPALLI. 10:14 THAT'S ANOTHER NAME THIS GOES BY WHICH IS CONFUSING 10:15 TO US JUST LIKE THE NAMES OF PEOPLE OFTEN GO BY 10:16 THEIR FATHER'S NAME WHICH MAY BE A P. 10:18 OR A CH. 10:18 AND THEN THEIR GIVEN NAME. 10:19 SO, PASTOR S. 10:20 AMBROSE OR PASTOR S. 10:20 ALEXANDER. 10:22 WELL, THIS IS A PICTURE THAT I GOT FROM I THINK 10:23 EITHER PASTOR JOHN BLAKE OR PASTOR FRED GRIFFITH OF 10:25 A PREVIOUS VISIT TO THIS CHURCH. 10:27 AH, SO I'M TRYING TO CATCH MY THING HERE.WHAT YOUR 10:29 GOING TO TALK ABOUT NEXT. 10:31 THIS IS WAY OUT IN FARM COUNTRY. 10:34 IT LOOKS LIKE IT. 10:36 YES, AND IT IS KIND OF OFF ON THE EDGE OF THIS SMALL 11:05 VILLAGE THERE AND IT WAS OBVIOUSLY TAKEN SOME YEARS 11:15 AGO. 11:16 NOW, LOOK AT IT TODAY. 11:19 AH, IT IS A LITTLE BIT WIDER SCOPE, YES, BUT WHEN 11:22 WE INITIALLY CAME THERE THE DEAF WERE ALL SITTING 11:25 IN THE CHURCH AND I ASKED THEM TO COME OUT FOR THE 11:29 PICTURE BEFORE WE ACTUALLY SPOKE WITH THEM. 11:32 IT GIVES YOU A LITTLE LOOK AROUND THAT AREA AND I 11:36 WANT YOU TO PICTURE THIS CHURCH AS NOT HAVING ANY 11:39 ELECTRICITY BEING OUT IN FARM COUNTRY BUT THERE IS 11:43 A VILLAGE NEXT DOOR AND FOR PROBABLY PENNIES, A 11:46 FEW DOLLARS, THEY COULD HAVE WIRE STRUNG TO GIVE 11:50 THEM ELECTRICITY IN THAT CHURCH WHICH THEY ARE 11:52 ASKING FOR. 11:54 AND THEIR CHURCH WHICH NOW HAS A LITTLE BIT OF MILDEW 11:56 AND NEEDS A LITTLE BIT OF SPRUCING UP, WE NEED MONEY 12:00 TO GIVE THEM TO HELP SPRUCE THAT CHURCH UP SO 12:02 THAT'S ONE OF THE PROJECTS. 12:04 SO, MARVIN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT KIND OF AN 12:06 ADDITIONAL PROJECT BEYOND THE SUPPORT OF THE WORKERS 12:09 THAT GOSPEL OUTREACH IS NORMALLY SUPPORTING. 12:11 EXACTLY. 12:12 YOU ARE SAYING SOMETHING EXTRA THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE 12:14 WATCHING THIS PROGRAM COULD CERTAINLY BE A PART 12:17 OF. 12:18 EMAIL US WE WILL TELL YOUHOW TO PUT SOMETHING IN 12:20 THAT FUND IF YOU ARE WILLING. 12:21 IT WOULDN'T TAKE MUCH AT ALL TO GET ELECTRICITY TO 12:24 THEM FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE FINANCIALLY. 12:27 RIGHT. 12:28 THAT'S THE ELECTRICITY PART AND THEY ALSO NEED TO 12:29 DO SOME OTHER THINGS THERE AS WELL. 12:32 UM, BUT WE HAVE ABOUT SEVEN OR EIGHT CHURCHES 12:35 RIGHT NOW THAT NEED THE SAME MAINTENANCE. 12:38 YES. 12:39 AND I WAS DOING THE MATH ON IT AND I THINK IT IS 12:44 PROBABLY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $375 THAT 12:46 COULD GIVE THESE CHURCHES A REAL FACELIFT. 12:50 IT'S NOT MUCH. 12:51 NO, IT ISN'T. 12:52 FOR MANY OF US. 12:53 FROM OUR STANDPOINT, I MEAN THAT'S LESS THAN WE 12:55 PROBABLY GIVE FOR OFFERINGS. 12:58 UH HUH. 12:59 THIS IS INSIDE THE CHURCH. 13:00 NOW WHAT DO YOU NOTICE HERE? 13:02 I WANT YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THIS PICTURE AND 13:04 COMPARE IT WITH THE NEXT ONE. 13:06 OK. 13:07 REMEMBER THIS BECAUSE I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE 13:10 PEOPLE IN THIS CHURCH, THE MEN, UH HUH, AND WE HAVE A 13:14 NICE CHURCH HERE. 13:16 NOTICE THIS WOULD BE THE WAY YOU GO TO CHURCH? 13:19 IS THIS WHAT YOU LOOK FORWARD TO? 13:22 NOW LOOK AT THE NEXT PICTURE HERE WHICH SHOWS 13:24 THE LADIES SIDE. 13:25 H-M-M. 13:26 ARE THEY TREATED EQUALLY? 13:29 NO. 13:30 WHAT'S DIFFERENT? 13:31 THERE IS NOT RUG FOR THEM TO SIT ON. 13:34 THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE A STRAW MAT. 13:36 YES. 13:37 THERE IS NOTHING FOR THEM TO SIT ON. 13:38 THIS IS A HARD-CONCRETE FLOOR. 13:39 UH HUH. 13:40 AND THE WORKER HERE IS I THINK I MENTIONED IN ONE 13:44 OF MY PRIOR THINGS THAT THIS IS A MAN THAT IS 13:47 HEARING LEADING THIS OUT. 13:49 YES. 13:50 AND SO, AH THE MEMBERS HERE ARE FARMERS, 13:54 MECHANICS, TAILORS, DRIVERS, COBBLERS AND 13:57 OTHER TRADESMEN AND THIS CHURCH NEEDS A HEARING 14:03 SCHOOL BECAUSE DEAF PEOPLE HAVE HEARING CHILDREN IN 14:06 CASE YOU DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THAT. 14:09 AND WE NEED THAT. 14:10 THAT HAPPENS DOESN'T IT. 14:11 IT DOES, SO I WAS INSPIRED. 14:14 HE INVITED US OVER TO HIS HOUSE AND HAD A VERY NICE 14:19 LUNCH FOR US AFTERWARDS. 14:20 SO, I THINK WE CAN TAKE A BREAK NOW. 14:22 ALRIGHT. 14:23 AND I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO STAY TUNED BECAUSE 14:25 WE DO HAVE MUCH MORE TO SHARE WITH YOU ABOUT 14:28 MARVIN'S LAST TRIP TO INDIA WORKING WITH DEAF 14:30 THERE AND WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU AS WELL TO 14:32 SUPPORT GOSPEL OUTREACH. 14:33 YOU'VE JUST HEARD ABOUT SOME PROJECTS THAT WE'VE 14:35 BEEN MENTIONING SOME SPECIAL PROJECTS THAT 14:37 COULD CERTAINLY HAPPEN IN THIS AREA. 14:40 NOT EVEN A LOT OF DOLLARS FOR THOSE OF US IN NORTH 14:44 AMERICA COULD MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE FOR THE 14:47 MINISTRY TO THE DEAF IN THIS AREA. 14:48 SO, PLEASE CONTACT US. 14:50 PLEASE GO

BUT I LOVE THEM. 16:43 AH, SO HERE IS ANOTHER CHURCH THAT WE WENT TO 16:45 NEXT WHICH IS THE KHOTAVALASA CHURCH AND IT 16:50 LOOKED LIKE THEY'D DONE SOME DECONSTRUCTION RIGHT 16:53 NEXT TO THIS ONE AND THEY COULD SURE USE A 16:57 BULLDOZER. 16:57 YES. 16:58 BUT IT IS RIGHT ALONG THE ROAD WHICH IS KIND OF 17:02 -WE'RE STANDING ON THE ROAD BASICALLY AND YOU 17:04 KIND OF CRAWL DOWN TO THE CHURCH

YES, FAMILIES, THEIR WORK, 18:32 DISCRIMINATION, OF COURSE, HAVING THEIR OWN BUSINESS 18:35 IS A VERY IMPORTANT THING, THE NEEDS OF THEIR 18:42 CHILDREN AND BEING ABLE TO SEE THEM. 18:47 I DON'T KNOW I WANT TO KNOW MORE AND ANOTHER PART 18:51 OF GOING THIS TIME WAS TO GET CELLPHONE NUMBERS AND 18:55 SO THAT WE CAN SET UP WHAT'S APP AND TALK BACK 18:59 AND FORTH TOGETHER. 19:00 THAT'S GREAT-OPEN UP COMMUNICATION. 19:03 YES, WE WON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR A WHOLE YEAR NOW 19:06 BEFORE WE CAN, TO GET UPDATES, TAKE SOME ACTION 19:08 AND ACTUALLY DO SOME PROJECTS. 19:10 SO, I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO

DAY. 19:48 PRECIOUS TIME, VIBRANT MEMBERSHIP. 19:50 PEOPLE THAT ARE YOUNG AND REALLY NEED ALL THE 19:54 OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN THAT WE CAN PROVIDE. 19:58 NOW THAT YOUSAW THE LAST CHURCH AT KHOTAVALASA THIS 20:03 IS THE NEXT CHURCH AT KANCHARAM IN RAJAM AND 20:09 THEY CAN GO BY EITHER ONE BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE 20:12 SIGNAGE UP ON THE FRONT OF THE CHURCH THERE, IT IS A 20:15 LITTLE HARD TO READ BUT THE SEVENTH DAY DEAF 20:19 KANCHARAM CHURCH IS WHAT THIS WAS. 20:22 AND THEY HAVE THE OFFICIAL LOGO THERE ON THE TOP. 20:26 YES. 20:26 UH HUH. 20:27 THEY'VE PUT IT THERE. 20:28 THAT'S WONDERFUL. 20:29 NOW AH, THIS IS THE NEXT PHOTO HERE IS A PICTURE 20:35 THAT I GOT JUST ABOUT A MONTH AROUND CHRISTMAS 20:37 TIME. 20:38 MERRY CHRISTMAS HERE IS YOUR NEW FLOODED CHURCH. 20:42 OH. 20:43 THIS WAS THAT SAME CHURCH AND THE WORKER THERE 20:46 SHOWED US THAT THE WATER WAS COMING UP. 20:50 YES. 20:51 HE'S GOT HIS PANTS- IS IT SEEPING UP IN? 20:53 HOW'S IT GETTING IN? 20:54 WELL, NEXT TO THE CHURCH -I DON'T KNOW IF I'VE GOT 20:57 A PICTURE HERE BUT WE'LL SEE NEXT AH, BUT THERE IS 21:02 A FIELD NEXT TO IT, UH HUH, AND DURING THE RAINY 21:04 SEASON AH, THE WATER HAS COME IN FROM THE SIDE WE 21:09 ARE LOOKING FROM. 21:10 YES. 21:11 THE STREET IS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OUT OF THE PICTURE. 21:14 YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE HOUSES ON THE SIDE THERE 21:16 BUT YOU SEE ALL THAT CEMENT ON THE FOUNDATION 21:19 OF THE CHURCH NOW? 21:20 UH HUH. 21:21 THIS WAS WHAT THEY WERE ABLE TO PUT IN WITH A 21:23 DONATION FROM CANADIAN DEAF MINISTRIES. 21:27 VERY GOOD. 21:28 AS WELL AS PUTTING NEW SHUTTERS ON THE CHURCH. 21:30 NOTICE THERE IS ACTUAL COVERINGS ON THE CHURCH, 21:33 THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL, WHERE THE LAST TWO CHURCHES WE 21:34 HAD WERE JUST STEEL BARS THAT HAD DETERIORATED. 21:39 THE DOOR HAD ROTTED. 21:40 YOU KNOW THIS IS ANOTHER THING ON THE PRIOR TWO 21:42 CHURCHES THAT WE NEEDED AND THE PEOPLE AGAIN ARE 21:46 SITTING ON CONCRETE WHICH IS BETTER THAN DIRT. 21:50 YES. 21:51 BUT THIS CHURCH IS IN A VERY POPULAR LOCATION, 21:56 VERY EASY TO COME TO. 21:59 SO THEY RAISED THE FLOOR LIKE HE WAS SHOWING IN THE 22:02 PREVIOUS PICTURE AND RAISED THE STAGE SO THAT 22:06 IT'S NOW RAISED UP SO EVEN IF THE WATER DOES GET IN, 22:11 THE FOUNDATION IS GOING TO BE SECURE AND THE FLOOR IS 22:14 GOING TO BE ABOVE THE WATER LEVEL SO THAT OTHER 22:17 THINGS WILL FLOOD BEFORE THE CHURCH FLOODS. 22:19 YES. 22:20 AND THAT WILL HELP THEM QUITE A LOT BUT YOU ALSO 22:23 HAVE MILDEW AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT CAN HAPPEN IN 22:25 THE CHURCH. 22:26 THIS IS THE INSIDE OF THE CHURCH WHEN WE WERE THERE. 22:29 AGAIN, THEY COULD -YOU HAVE TO BE PRETTY EARLY 22:33 BEFORE YOU CAN GET ONE OF THE FOUR CHAIRS-WHICH THEY 22:39 GAVE TO US. 22:41 OH. 22:42 FOUR CHAIRS. 22:43 YES. 22:44 SO, AH THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE WHEN WE 22:45 VISITED BUT IT IS DRY AND JUST LOOK AT THE FACES 22:51 HERE. 22:53 THEY ARE YOUNG AND VIBRANT AND I-SOME OF THE OTHER 22:56 WORKERS THAT WERE FARTHER NORTH WERE ABLE TO COME 22:59 DOWN TO THIS SO, WHEN THERE IS A BIG EVENT THEY 23:01 CAN COME TOGETHER. 23:02 UH HUH. 23:03 AND THE LESS THEY HAVE TO TRAVEL-I THINK WE TRAVELED 23:06 TO GET TO THIS CHURCH ABOUT 45 MINUTES. 23:10 THE PRIOR TWO, I THINK WE TRAVELED ABOUT 2,3 OR 4 23:14 HOURS FROM THE SECTION OFFICE. 23:17 UH HUH. 23:18 CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT THESE WORKERS ARE HAVING TO 23:20 TRAVEL THOSE DISTANCES TO COME AND GET THEIR PAY, 23:22 YES, AND TO MEET WITH THE LEADERS AND FIND OUT WHAT 23:27 IS HAPPENING BACK IN THE REST OF THE WORLD. 23:29 UH HUH. 23:31 SO, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. 23:35 AH, LET'S SEE THERE IS, I THINK, AT LEAST ONE MORE 23:38 PICTURE IS THAT TRUE? 23:39 ALRIGHT. 23:40 YOU HAVE ONE MORE TO SHARE WITH US. 23:42 OK. 23:43 NO, WE ARE DONE. 23:44 ALRIGHT. 23:45 OK, UM SO AT THIS POINT FROM KNOWING OF-NOT 23:50 KNOWING HOW MANY CHURCHES THERE WERE AND THEN 23:54 GETTING SOME PICTURES FROM PASTOR BLAKE AND PASTOR 23:56 GRIFFITH AH, I THINK I KNOW NOW OF ABOUT 15 BUT I 24:01 STILL HAVE TO SOME MORE CORRELATIONS TO DO TO FIND 24:04 OUT IF I'VE GOT ALL. 24:06 AND THESE ARE CHURCHES THAT I ACTUALLY KNOW WE 24:08 HAVE DEAF CHURCH STRUCTURES, UH HUH, THEY 24:11 MAY NOT BE 100 PER CENT DEAF. 24:12 THEY MAY BE DEAF HEARING BUT STRUCTURES WHERE WE 24:16 ACTUALLY HAVE DEAF PEOPLE MEETING, YES, AND NOT JUST 24:18 A SMALL GROUP OUT IN THE FARM COUNTRY SOMEWHERE OR 24:21 IN A HOME. 24:22 AND I THINK WE VISITED NINE ON THIS TRIP. 24:26 I THINK THERE IS AT LEAST, AT LEAST 14 MORE GROUPS 24:30 FROM OUR, THAT ARE NOT AS STRUCTURES BUT ARE MEETING 24:33 TOGETHER. 24:34 THAT ARE MEETING OUTSIDE OF ACTUAL CHURCH BUILDINGS 24:37 OR AT OTHER STRUCTURES AND WE HAD 16 WORKERS THAT'S 24:44 WHAT WE HAD. 24:45 NOW WE HAVE TWO MORE SO HERE YOU CAN JUST KIND OF 24:48 SEE THE PICTURE OF INDIA, YES, AND THINK OF THIS 24:52 HAPPENING PRETTY MUCH DOWN IN THE SOUTHERN PART AND 24:55 THE SEASIDE, THE EASTERN SEABOARD THERE, UH HUH, UP 24:59 ALONG THE COAST AND ALONG THE BASE PART. 25:03 I'M SURE IT WAS REALLY EXCITING FOR YOU TO 25:06 ACTUALLY BE THERE AND SEE THE FACILITIES WHERE THEY 25:09 ARE MEETING AND NOT JUST BE DEPENDENT ON REPORTS 25:10 THAT YOU ARE HEARING FROM OTHERS. 25:12 YES, I WAS MUCH BETTER EQUIPED NOW TO GIVE THE 25:17 RESPECT DUE. 25:18 YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET THAT WITHOUT HAVING THAT 25:22 BUT YOUKNOW, I'VE SEEN ENOUGH DEAFNESS AND 25:24 HEARING INTERACTIONS THAT I DO HAVE TO USE MY PAST 25:28 EXPERIENCE TO INFORM MY JUDGMENT. 25:30 YES. 25:31 IT'S NOT ALWAYS PERFECT. 25:33 AH, BUT NOW YOU'VE SEEN IT, YOU'VE TALKED WITH THE 25:36 PEOPLE THERE, SEEING THEIR NEEDS. 25:38 YES, AND I'M LEARNING THAT I THINK AN IMPORTANT 25:43 PRINCIPLE IN INDIAN AMERICAN RELATIONSHIPS IS 25:45 TO RESPECT THE OTHER CULTURE AND TO THINK THAT 25:47 THEY ARE ACCOUNTABLE TO JESUS DIRECTLY JUST LIKE 25:48 WE OVER HERE IN AMERICA LIKE TO THINK WE ARE. 25:49 YES. 25:51 EVEN THOUGH WE NEED IN ALL OF OUR CHURCH STRUCTURE 26:06 THE INFORMATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT IS 26:10 IMPARTED TO THEM, THAT INFORMS OUR UNDERSTANDING 26:15 AS WELL. 26:16 WE SHOULD BE HUMBLED, YES, TO ACCEPT THAT AS WELL AND 26:20 I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT ONE VERY IMPORTANT THING NOW 26:24 AS WE KIND OF WRAP THIS UP. 26:27 AH, PASTOR BLAKE AND PASTOR GRIFFITH NOW ARE A 26:32 LITTLE OLDER, UH HUH, I'M NOT YOUNG I'M RETIRED AND 26:36 I HAVE OTHER THINGS I'D LIKE TO DO. 26:39 WE SIMPLY NEED A NEW GENERATION OF LEADERSHIP 26:42 IN GOSPEL OUTREACH TO TAKE UP THE DEAF MINISTRY AS 26:45 WELL. 26:46 UH HUH AND I'M MAKING A VERY EARNEST PLEA THAT 26:50 SOMEBODY WILL CONSIDER THIS VERY CAREFULLY AND 26:53 THAT WE CAN FIND THE FUNDS THROUGH EXTRA DONATIONS. 26:57 WE WANT TO KEEP SUPPORTING THE MAIN GOSPEL OUTREACH 27:00 WORK BUT IF THERE IS EXTRA MONEY THAT CAN COME IN TO 27:04 HELP WITH THE DEAF MINISTRY, WE'D LIKE TO 27:07 KNOW YOU. 27:07 VERY GOOD. 27:09 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT CHALLENGE. 27:11 AND YOU HEARD THE CHALLENGE FOR YOUNGER 27:13 PEOPLE TO JOIN IN AND BE A PART OF THE MINISTRY TO 27:16 THE DEAF. 27:17 AND YOU ALWAYS KNOW THAT YOUR PRAYERS ARE COVETED 27:20 AND WELCOMED AND YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT IS 27:32 NEEDED AT GOSPEL OUTREACH. 27:51 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING. 28:19
