17:50 HOW DO THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS COME TO A PERSON 17:54 WHO IS SEARCHING FOR ALL OF THESE THINGS AND TO 17:57 SHARE WITH THEM ABOUT JESUS? 17:58 THERE ARE TWO IMPORTANT BRICKS FOR BRIDGING THE 18:01 GAP. 18:01 THE FIRST ONE IS FRIENDSHIP. 18:04 YOU BECOME FRIENDS WITH PEOPLE. 18:06 PEOPLE WHO ARE DIFFERENT THAN YOU ARE, PEOPLE WHO 18:09 DON'T BELIEVE LIKE YOU, WHO DON'T LIVE LIKE YOU 18:12 AND ONCE YOU BECOME FRIENDS THE SECOND BRICK 18:15 IS SERVICE. 18:17 YES. 18:18 YOU KNOW THEM AND YOU SERVE THEM. 18:20 SERVE THEIR NEEDS. 18:21 YES. 18:22 AND THAT WAY YOUR GOING TO FIND OUT THEIR STORY. 18:25 NOT THE STORY YOU WANT TO CREATE BUT UNDERSTAND 18:29 THEIR STORY. 18:30 YES. 18:31 AND ONCE YOU KNOW THEIR STORY YOU HAVE THE 18:34 OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE JESUS WITH THEM. 18:36 YES. 18:37 AND THAT'S WHAT THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS ARE DOING 18:39 IN THE 10/40 WINDOW IS BECAUSE THEY ARE GETTING 18:41 TO KNOW THESE PEOPLE IN THE MARKET PLACES AND 18:44 PLACES LIKE THAT. 18:45 HOW MANY GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS ARE IN YOUR 18:47 TERRITORY? 18:48 IN MY TERRITORY ABOUT 400 WORKERS. 18:50 400 WORKERS. 18:51 THEY ARE IN 1200 VILLAGES, UH HUH. 18:53 AND THE BEAUTY OF GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS IS WE 18:54 SELECT THEM FROM THE VILLAGES WHERE THEY ARE 18:55 WORKING. 19:00 SO, THEY KNOW THE PEOPLE ALREADY, RIGHT. 19:02 THEY KNOW THE CULTURE; THEY KNOW THE LANGUAGE. 19:04 THEY KNOW THE LOCAL MUSIC. 19:05 SO, THEY ALREADY ARE WELL ESTABLISHED WITH THEIR 19:08 NETWORK. 19:09 YES. 19:09 YES. 19:10 WELL, AND I ALSO WANT TO SAY TOO THAT IT'S THE 19:12 SMALL THINGS IN LIFE THAT WE CAN DO LIKE SMILING. 19:14 I WAS RECENTLY IN ANOTHER COUNTRY AND THERE WAS A 19:18 MUSLIM WOMAN WHO WAS WALKING DOWN THE STREET 19:20 AND I LOOKED OVER AND GOT EYE CONTACT WITH HER AND 19:23 WE SMILED AT EACH OTHER. 19:24 YOU KNOW, SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS THAT MANZOOR, 19:27 THAT GOD CAN USE A SIMPLE ACT OF KINDNESS TO 19:29 SOMEBODY ELSE AND TO SHOW THAT HEY, WE SEE YOU AND 19:33 THAT WE CARE ABOUT YOU. 19:34 YOU KNOW THE PRINCIPLE THAT JESUS USED NUMBER ONE 19:37 WAS: LOVE PEOPLE. 19:38 YES. 19:39 IF YOU LOVE PEOPLE, YOU WILL NOT BE CRITICAL. 19:43 AND IF YOU LOVE PEOPLE, YOU HAVE NO BARRIERS. 19:46 YOU SEE NO BOUNDARIES. 19:47 YES. 19:48 BECAUSE LOVE TEARS DOWN ALL WALLS. 19:51 YES. 19:52 AND THERE IS NO FEAR IN LOVE. 19:53 THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE TELLS US. 19:55 SO, TELL A VIEWER WHO IS WATCHING-SHARE WITH THEM 19:58 WHAT THEY HAVE JUST HEARD FROM YOU, THEY'VE SEEN 20:01 YOUR PICTURES, WE'VE HEARD ABOUT THE 1.2 BILLION AND 20:05 THE PERSON SITTING AT THEIR COMPUTER OR ON THEIR 20:07 IPHONE, IPAD AND THEY ARE JUST WONDERING HOW THEY 20:10 CAN GET INVOLVED TO HELP. 20:12 WELL, THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS THAT OUR VIEWERS CAN 20:15 BE INVOLVED. 20:16 1) PRAY EARNESTLY. 20:18 OUR WORKERS, MANY OF THEM, ARE WORKING UNDER TOUGH 20:20 CONDITIONS AND THEY COULD USE SERIOUS PRAYERS FOR 20:24 THEIR PROTECTION. 20:25 ALSO, PRAY FOR HOLY SPIRIT BECAUSE ONLY THE POWER OF 20:29 THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN CHANGE THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF 20:32 PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T HEARD OFJESUS. 20:33 YES. 20:34 AND THAT WOULD BE ONE OF THE THINGS. 20:37 AND THIRD, THEY CAN COME AND BE JOINING US ON ONE 20:41 OF THE MISSION TRIPS. 20:41 YES, ABSOLUTELY. 20:42 AND IF NOT, SUPPORT IT BY THEIR FINANCIAL 20:46 CONTRIBUTION. 20:47 SO, IS THERE A STORY THAT YOU CAN SHARE, MANZOOR OF 20:49 SOMEONE WHO HAS ACCEPTED JESUS AND THE FIRE IN THEM 20:53 HAS-YOU SHARED WHAT THE FIRE , THE WATER AND ALL 20:56 OF THAT THAT THEIR LIFE HAS BEEN CHANGED BECAUSE 20:58 THEY DON'T HAVE THIS BURDEN, THEY DON'T HAVE TO 21:01 BE HAVING NAILS POKED INTOTHEM AND ALL OF THAT?
