I WANT TO WELCOME YOU
TO "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS"
00:00:33.09\00:00:36.13
FROM GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:00:36.16\00:00:38.07
IT'S ALWAYS A JOY TO
SHARE THESE STORIES, TO COLLECT
00:00:38.10\00:00:41.40
THEM, TO HEAR THEM MYSELF.
00:00:41.44\00:00:43.34
SO HERE YOU ARE READY
FOR A STORY FROM WEST AFRICA.
00:00:43.37\00:00:48.78
AND I HAVE GUESTS
WITH ME TODAY JOHN AND RUBY
00:00:48.81\00:00:51.95
STAFFORD.
00:00:51.98\00:00:52.98
AND I HAVE TO ADMIT
THESE ARE OLD FRIENDS OF MINE.
00:00:53.01\00:00:56.18
I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.
00:00:56.22\00:00:57.79
IT'S SPECIAL.
00:00:57.82\00:00:59.19
OUR MEMORIES GO
BACK A WAYS DON'T THEY.
00:00:59.22\00:01:02.22
YES, YOU EVEN KNEW
FRENCH TOGETHER RIGHT?
00:01:02.26\00:01:04.83
AH YES WE DID.
00:01:04.86\00:01:05.89
YOU WENT TO COLLONGES.
00:01:05.93\00:01:07.40
WE DID GO TO SCHOOL IN FRANCE.
00:01:07.46\00:01:09.00
YOU AND I CAN TALK FRENCH.
00:01:09.03\00:01:10.73
BUT WE DON'T DO IT IN
FRONT OF THE CAMERA RIGHT?
00:01:10.77\00:01:12.70
NO.
00:01:12.73\00:01:13.37
(LAUGHTER).
00:01:13.40\00:01:14.40
BUT MAYBE YOU SHOULD
TAKE A TRIP OVER THERE TO A
00:01:14.44\00:01:16.71
FRENCH-SPEAKING COUNTRY.
00:01:16.74\00:01:17.41
MAYBE SO.
00:01:17.44\00:01:18.17
THAT WOULD BE FUN.
00:01:18.21\00:01:20.31
JOHN HAS PROPOSED
THAT I MIGHT BE HIS PSYCHIC
00:01:20.34\00:01:23.58
SOMETIME.
00:01:23.61\00:01:24.15
I MIGHT TAKE THAT UP.
00:01:24.18\00:01:25.51
BUT WHERE DID YOU GO
THIS PARTICULAR TRIP?
00:01:25.55\00:01:28.48
WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
00:01:28.52\00:01:30.05
WELL THIS TIME WE WENT
FROM TOGO TO BENIN WHICH
00:01:30.09\00:01:34.12
IS JUST A LITTLE
HOP ACROSS THE BORDER.
00:01:34.16\00:01:37.23
SO THOSE TWO
COUNTRIES ARE SIDE BY SIDE?
00:01:37.26\00:01:39.06
YES.
00:01:39.09\00:01:40.10
TOGO IS ON THE WEST SIDE
OF BENIN AND THEN WE HAVE
00:01:40.13\00:01:45.20
BURKINA FASO NIGER AND
ON THE EAST SIDE WE HAVE
00:01:49.44\00:01:55.11
NIGERIA.
00:01:55.14\00:01:56.78
THOSE ARE THE ONES
THAT SURROUND BENIN.
00:01:56.81\00:01:58.91
AND OF COURSE THE SOUTHERN
END OF BENIN IS THE OCEAN,
00:01:58.95\00:02:04.12
THE ATLANTIC.
00:02:04.15\00:02:04.65
THE ATLANTIC OCEAN.
00:02:04.69\00:02:05.69
AND SO THEY HAVE PORTS
THERE WHERE THEY EXPORT
00:02:05.72\00:02:10.89
COTTON AND
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS.
00:02:10.93\00:02:16.43
AND THESE COUNTRIES HAVE
A FRENCH INFLUENCE BECAUSE
00:02:16.46\00:02:21.87
OF COLONIAL TIMES IN
THE PAST IS THAT RIGHT?
00:02:21.90\00:02:24.07
YES.
00:02:24.11\00:02:25.07
THEY ARE FORMER
FRENCH COLONIES BUT THEY ARE
00:02:25.11\00:02:29.01
STILL PART OF FRANCE.
00:02:29.04\00:02:30.31
FRANCE STILL HAS A
LARGE INFLUENCE ON THESE
00:02:30.35\00:02:33.08
COUNTRIES.
00:02:33.11\00:02:34.05
THEY HAVE KEPT THEIR
TIES KIND OF LIKE THE
00:02:34.08\00:02:35.65
COMMONWEALTH WITH
THE UNITED KINGDOM.
00:02:35.68\00:02:38.22
YES, WITHIN THE UK.
00:02:38.25\00:02:39.92
YES.
00:02:39.95\00:02:40.52
WELL TELL US ABOUT BENIN.
00:02:40.56\00:02:41.96
WHAT IS GOD DOING THERE?
00:02:41.99\00:02:43.59
WELL WE ACTUALLY HAVE
TWENTY GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:02:43.63\00:02:48.46
WORKERS THERE ALTHOUGH
WE HAVE ONLY 13 PASTORS.
00:02:48.50\00:02:51.50
AS WE HAVE SEEN IN
OTHER COUNTRIES OFTEN THE
00:02:51.53\00:02:54.27
PASTORS HAVE MULTIPLE TASKS.
00:02:54.30\00:02:57.41
I MEAN THE MISSION
PRESIDENT, THE PRESIDENT
00:02:57.44\00:03:00.34
THE SECRETARY,
THEY ALL HAVE CHURCHES.
00:03:00.38\00:03:02.98
AND SO THEY ARE KEPT VERY BUSY.
00:03:03.01\00:03:07.18
OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS ARE THE MAIN
00:03:07.22\00:03:09.42
INFLUENCE FOR
CHURCH GROWTH IN BENIN.
00:03:09.45\00:03:12.65
OKAY.
00:03:12.69\00:03:13.25
IT'S VERY VERY IMPORTANT.
00:03:13.29\00:03:15.59
WE HAVE ACTUALLY
EIGHT THOUSAND MEMBERS.
00:03:15.62\00:03:19.53
JUST THIS LAST YEAR,
WELL YES LAST YEAR IN MARCH
00:03:19.56\00:03:25.87
THEY ACTUALLY BECAME A
FEDERATION WHAT IS CALLED
00:03:25.90\00:03:29.67
IN FRENCH.
00:03:29.70\00:03:30.84
WE WOULD CALL IT A
CONFERENCE IN ENGLISH.
00:03:30.87\00:03:33.34
AND FINANCIALLY THAT
MEANS THAT THEY ARE MORE ON
00:03:33.38\00:03:36.41
THEIR OWN.
00:03:36.44\00:03:37.41
THEY ACTUALLY FIND
OUT THAT WHEN THEY GET ON
00:03:37.45\00:03:40.15
THEIR OWN SOMETIMES
IT'S MORE DIFFICULT THAN WHEN
00:03:40.18\00:03:43.15
THEY ARE A MISSION BECAUSE
AS A MISSION THEY GET MORE
00:03:43.18\00:03:45.82
FUNDS FROM OUTSIDE.
00:03:45.85\00:03:46.86
AND SO THEY HAVE TO
DEPEND MORE UPON THEIR OWN
00:03:46.89\00:03:49.66
PEOPLE.
00:03:49.69\00:03:50.36
THEIR OWN RESOURCES.
00:03:50.39\00:03:51.99
YES.
00:03:52.03\00:03:53.06
AND SO THEY HAVE
HAD THEIR CHALLENGES.
00:03:53.09\00:03:55.76
BUT ANYWAY OUR WORK
IS GOING FORWARD THERE.
00:03:55.80\00:04:02.10
ON THE MAP IT
SHOWED IT'S A LONG COUNTRY.
00:04:02.14\00:04:05.54
HAVE WE SEEN THAT MAP YET?
00:04:05.57\00:04:07.08
YES WE SAW IT.
00:04:07.11\00:04:08.14
AND SO TO GO NORTH WOULD
BE LIKE A TEN HOUR TRIP BY
00:04:08.18\00:04:12.08
BUS.
00:04:12.11\00:04:12.75
OKAY.
00:04:12.78\00:04:13.85
AND SO WE ACTUALLY WHAT
WE HAVE FOUND IS YOU KNOW WE
00:04:13.88\00:04:17.92
HAVE HAD AN EMPHASIS ON
TAKING THE GOSPEL TO LARGE
00:04:17.95\00:04:21.32
CITIES AS THERE ARE
MANY CITIES THAT DON'T KNOW
00:04:21.36\00:04:23.96
ABOUT JESUS ANY MORE.
00:04:23.99\00:04:25.19
AND SO WE'RE FINDING OUT
----------WHICH IS PART OF
00:04:25.23\00:04:28.40
BENIN, THE CAPITAL.
00:04:28.43\00:04:29.56
I DON'T KNOW IS IT THE CAPITAL?
00:04:29.60\00:04:32.23
NO IT'S NOT THE CAPITAL.
00:04:32.27\00:04:34.17
PORTO-NOVO IS THE CAPITAL.
00:04:34.20\00:04:35.77
BUT IT'S ONE OF
THE LARGEST CITIES.
00:04:35.80\00:04:37.84
IT HAS ALMOST TWO MILLION
PEOPLE AND SO A LOT OF OUR
00:04:37.87\00:04:42.44
GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS ARE STATIONED THERE.
00:04:42.48\00:04:45.11
SO ARE THEY DOING WORK
IN THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT OR
00:04:45.15\00:04:48.98
IN THE RURAL OR BOTH?
00:04:49.02\00:04:49.92
WELL IT'S BOTH.
00:04:49.95\00:04:50.95
MOST OF THE POPULATION
IS ALL AROUND THE CITIES.
00:04:50.99\00:04:57.46
THAT'S THE WAY IT
IS IN MOST COUNTRIES.
00:04:57.49\00:04:58.93
MOST OF THE POPULATION,
ESPECIALLY IN THE TROPICS
00:04:58.96\00:05:01.76
WHERE LIVING IS MORE
DIFFICULT UP THERE IN THE
00:05:01.80\00:05:04.30
JUNGLES AND IN THE BUSH COUNTRY.
00:05:04.33\00:05:06.57
THE PEOPLE GO UP AND THEY
GET EDUCATED AND THEY COME
00:05:06.60\00:05:10.54
TO THE CITY.
00:05:10.57\00:05:11.41
THAT'S WHERE THE
WORK IS AND FOR JOBS.
00:05:11.44\00:05:13.38
THAT'S WHERE THE MAJORITY
OF THE WORK IS AND THAT'S
00:05:13.41\00:05:15.18
WHERE THE
MAJORITY OF THE ECONOMY IS.
00:05:15.21\00:05:17.51
I'VE HEARD THAT THAT'S
TRUE ALL OVER THE WORLD.
00:05:17.55\00:05:19.41
YES.
00:05:19.45\00:05:20.45
THE CITIES ARE
BECOMING THE PLACE WHERE PEOPLE
00:05:20.48\00:05:21.78
LIVE.
00:05:21.82\00:05:22.45
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:05:22.48\00:05:23.82
YES.
00:05:23.85\00:05:24.82
WELL THERE WHERE YOU
ARE IN BENIN, WHAT KIND OF
00:05:24.85\00:05:28.32
NEEDS ARE THEY NEEDING?
00:05:28.36\00:05:30.43
WHAT'S HAPPENING WHEN
THEY'RE OUT THERE DOING
00:05:30.46\00:05:33.13
THEIR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORK?
00:05:33.16\00:05:34.93
WELL THEY ARE TRYING TO
FIND WAYS TO REACH PEOPLE
00:05:34.93\00:05:37.87
WHO DO NOT KNOW JESUS.
00:05:37.90\00:05:40.27
AND THEY'RE TAKING THE
GOSPEL TO VILLAGES THAT
00:05:40.30\00:05:42.87
ARE DARK.
00:05:42.90\00:05:43.97
THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE
OUT THERE IN THE BUSH COUNTRY
00:05:44.01\00:05:45.21
THAT HAVE NEVER HEARD OF JESUS.
00:05:45.24\00:05:47.34
ALL THEY KNOW ABOUT IS VOODOO.
00:05:49.88\00:05:52.18
AND THEY ARE ANIMISTS.
00:05:52.21\00:05:53.62
THAT MEANS THEY WORSHIP ANIMALS.
00:05:53.65\00:05:55.72
THEY WORSHIP THE
TREES, THE RAIN, THE SUN.
00:05:55.75\00:05:58.82
THEY WORSHIP THINGS THAT
ARE ALIVE AND THINGS THAT
00:05:58.85\00:06:00.22
WE WOULD CALL DEAD
LIKE MINERALS SOMETIMES OR
00:06:00.26\00:06:01.56
ROCKS RIGHT?
00:06:01.59\00:06:02.66
AND SO WE TEACH THE
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS TO TEACH
00:06:02.69\00:06:03.56
PEOPLE INSTEAD OF
WORSHIPING THE CREATURES
00:06:03.59\00:06:04.89
TO WORSHIP THE CREATOR.
00:06:04.93\00:06:05.63
THE ONE WHO MADE THESE THINGS.
00:06:05.66\00:06:06.59
AND SO THEY TAKE
BIBLE STORIES OUT TO THEM.
00:06:06.63\00:06:09.33
AND WE TEACH THEM HOW TO
TEACH THEIR PEOPLE TO TAKE
00:06:09.36\00:06:11.30
CARE OF THEIR BODIES.
00:06:11.33\00:06:12.30
EXAMPLE, WE HAVE
GIVEN THEM THE EIGHT LAWS OF
00:06:12.33\00:06:15.80
HEALTH.
00:06:15.84\00:06:16.47
YES.
00:06:16.50\00:06:17.14
NEWSTART.
00:06:17.17\00:06:17.97
YOU'VE PROBABLY
HEARD OF NEWSTART.
00:06:18.01\00:06:19.14
SURE.
00:06:19.17\00:06:20.11
N-NUTRITION,
E-EXERCISE, W-WATER, S-SUNSHINE,
00:06:20.14\00:06:21.11
T-TEMPERANCE, A-AIR,
R-REST, T-TRUST IN GOD.
00:06:21.14\00:06:23.08
OKAY.
00:06:23.11\00:06:24.15
AND SO WE TEACH THEM
THESE EIGHT LAWS OF HEALTH AND
00:06:24.18\00:06:25.18
IN DOING SO WE ALSO
TEACH THEM HOW TO TAKE CARE OF
00:06:25.21\00:06:26.21
THEIR BODY AND HOW TO
TEACH THEIR PEOPLE HOW TO
00:06:26.25\00:06:27.75
TAKE CARE OF THEIR
BODY WITH HYDROTHERAPY.
00:06:27.78\00:06:33.32
BUT LET'S GO BACK TO
THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORK.
00:06:33.36\00:06:38.43
WHAT WERE YOU DOING
THERE BESIDES HEALTH MESSAGES,
00:06:56.18\00:07:01.32
HOW TO PRESERVE LIFE.
00:07:17.03\00:07:18.47
WHAT WERE YOU
DOING BESIDES THAT.
00:07:18.50\00:07:19.80
WELL DURING THE FIRST
TWO DAYS, TWO OR TWO AND A
00:07:19.83\00:07:21.14
HALF DAYS WE HAD TRAINING
WHERE ALL THESE GUYS WOULD
00:07:21.17\00:07:26.24
COME DOWN TO THE MISSION
HEADQUARTERS AND OF COURSE
00:07:40.22\00:07:44.66
THEY HAD LIVING QUARTERS
AND THE LADIES WERE FIXING
00:07:44.69\00:07:49.66
FOOD FOR THEM AND FOR US.
00:07:49.70\00:07:50.93
THEY FED US
VERY WELL BY THE WAY.
00:07:50.97\00:07:52.50
ACTUALLY GAINED SOME WEIGHT.
00:07:52.53\00:07:53.47
ANYWAY RICE AND
BEANS AND VEGIES YOU KNOW.
00:07:53.50\00:07:58.61
SO ANYWAY DURING THE
TRAINING PROGRAM WE TEACH
00:08:01.44\00:08:05.35
THEM FRIENDSHIP EVANGELISM.
00:08:05.38\00:08:07.92
AND YOU'VE PROBABLY
HEARD OF HOW MARK FINLEY HAS
00:08:07.95\00:08:11.72
TAUGHT US ALL HOW
TO DO THE F-O-R-T.
00:08:11.75\00:08:13.96
YES.
00:08:13.99\00:08:14.96
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE
FAMILY AND OCCUPATION AND
00:08:14.99\00:08:17.73
RELIGION AND HOW TO
GIVE YOUR TESTIMONY.
00:08:17.76\00:08:21.73
SO THESE ARE THE
THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT FOR
00:08:21.76\00:08:24.43
THESE GUYS TO BE ABLE
TO REACH OUT AND MEET NEW
00:08:24.47\00:08:28.40
PEOPLE, STRANGERS AND
TAKE THE GOSPEL TO THEM.
00:08:28.44\00:08:31.37
AND THEY'RE DOING THAT
IN THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT AND
00:08:31.41\00:08:36.11
IN THE COUNTRY.
00:08:36.14\00:08:36.85
IT WORKS UNIVERSALLY.
00:08:36.88\00:08:38.75
IT WORKS
EVERYWHERE IN ALL CULTURES.
00:08:38.78\00:08:40.32
YES.
00:08:40.35\00:08:41.35
IT'S A WONDERFUL
APPROACH TO WINING A FRIEND FOR
00:08:41.38\00:08:44.12
JESUS.
00:08:44.15\00:08:45.69
THAT IS WONDERFUL.
00:08:45.72\00:08:46.76
THAT'S SO ENCOURAGING
WHEN YOU SEE THAT FUNCTIONING
00:08:46.79\00:08:49.89
FOR THEM.
00:08:49.92\00:08:50.89
AND YOU SAY THEY ARE
THE ONES WHO SEEM TO BE
00:08:50.93\00:08:53.19
FINDING NEW PEOPLE
TO JOIN THE CHURCH.
00:08:53.23\00:08:55.76
YES.
00:08:55.80\00:08:56.80
I SUSPECT THAT THEY TRY
TO SHARE THAT WITH THEIR
00:08:56.83\00:09:01.87
CIRCLE OF INFLUENCE
AS WELL HOPING THAT THEIR
00:09:01.90\00:09:04.44
NUMBERS WILL BE
MULTIPLIED IN ONE SENSE.
00:09:04.47\00:09:06.94
AS YOU WILL SEE LATER
IN OUR PRESENTATION THAT
00:09:06.98\00:09:10.45
THESE GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS THEY FIND SOMEONE
00:09:10.48\00:09:14.95
IN THEIR VILLAGE THAT
ARE CONVERTED TO THEIR
00:09:14.98\00:09:18.02
MINISTRY AND THEN THEY
BECOME A GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:09:18.05\00:09:20.59
WORKER.
00:09:20.62\00:09:21.26
IN A SENSE.
00:09:21.29\00:09:22.16
YES.
00:09:22.19\00:09:23.19
NOT THE PAID SENSE BUT
THEY CAN ALSO GET PAID TO
00:09:23.22\00:09:27.03
DO THAT.
00:09:27.03\00:09:28.00
SO ARE THEY WISHING
THEY COULD GROW THE NUMBER OF
00:09:28.03\00:09:30.13
WORKERS?
00:09:30.17\00:09:31.10
THEY HAVE SPIRITUAL
CHILDREN AND SPIRITUAL
00:09:31.13\00:09:33.54
GRANDCHILDREN SO
THEY ARE GROWING.
00:09:33.57\00:09:35.64
THAT'S THE WAY IT
SHOULD WORK IN GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:09:35.67\00:09:37.94
AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE
TO BE A PART OF SPONSORING
00:09:37.97\00:09:40.61
THESE PEOPLE IT'S GOOD
TO KNOW THAT THIS IS MOSTLY
00:09:40.64\00:09:45.05
SPONSORED THROUGH
GOSPEL OUTREACH CANADA.
00:09:45.08\00:09:49.05
AND IF YOU LOOK ON YOUR
SCREEN, WE'RE GOING TO PUT
00:09:49.08\00:09:51.39
UP THE CONTACT NUMBERS
AND ADDRESS AND EVERYTHING FOR
00:09:51.42\00:09:55.66
GOSPEL OUTREACH CANADA.
00:09:55.69\00:09:57.36
IF YOU'D LIKE TO
SUPPORT THIS WORK THEY WILL TAKE
00:09:57.39\00:10:00.13
FUNDS NOT ONLY FROM
CANADIANS BUT FROM ANYBODY
00:10:00.16\00:10:03.57
ELSE IN THE WORLD
WHO WOULD LIKE TO SUPPORT
00:10:03.60\00:10:05.17
THEM.
00:10:05.20\00:10:05.73
AND DON'T FORGET THAT.
00:10:05.77\00:10:08.47
TELL ME SOME MORE.
00:10:08.50\00:10:09.54
YOU HAVE SOME MORE
SLIDES TO SHARE WITH US I THINK.
00:10:09.57\00:10:13.11
YES, WE'D LIKE TO LET
YOU LISTEN TO THESE GUYS AS
00:10:13.14\00:10:18.58
THEY SING.
00:10:18.61\00:10:19.58
(MEN SINGING IN HARMONY)
WHAT LANGUAGE WOULD THEY
00:10:19.61\00:10:24.72
BE USING THERE?
00:10:39.43\00:10:40.17
WELL THEY'RE SINGING IN FRENCH.
00:10:40.20\00:10:41.87
IN FRENCH, OKAY.
00:10:41.90\00:10:42.97
AND SO, AS YOU PROBABLY
KNOW, I PUT TO MUSIC PSALM
00:10:43.00\00:10:46.98
'91.
00:10:47.01\00:10:47.68
YES YOU DID.
00:10:47.71\00:10:48.48
BUT WE WERE
GIVING THEM PSALM 27.
00:10:48.51\00:10:51.15
AND SO WE LEARNED HOW
TO TAKE THE PHRASING OF THE
00:10:51.18\00:10:56.25
SCRIPTURE VERSE IN
PSALM 27 VERSE 1 AND THE LORD
00:11:02.22\00:11:08.83
HELPED ME PUT SOME
NOTES AND SOME RHYTHM TOGETHER
00:11:08.86\00:11:12.20
IN FOUR PART HARMONY
AND BEFORE LONG THEY WERE
00:11:12.23\00:11:15.87
SINGING LIKE A CHOIR.
00:11:15.90\00:11:17.47
AND THEY SOUND GOOD.
00:11:17.51\00:11:19.21
THEY SOUNDED
PRETTY GOOD I THOUGHT.
00:11:19.24\00:11:20.54
AND BESIDES TEACHING
THEM SINGING WE ALSO, JOHN HAD
00:11:20.58\00:11:24.85
DRAWN PSALM 27 AND SO HE
ACTUALLY, WE SHOWED THEM.
00:11:24.88\00:11:30.82
WE GAVE THEM THESE
CARDS TO EACH ONE, HOW THEY
00:11:30.85\00:11:33.59
COULD LEARN PSALM 27
IF THEY COULD PUT IN THE
00:11:33.62\00:11:36.73
LANGUAGE WHICH THEY DESIRED.
00:11:36.76\00:11:39.79
THEY COULD WRITE IT ON
THE BACK OF THE CARD WHICHEVER
00:11:39.83\00:11:43.47
LANGUAGE THE PEOPLE ARE
LEARNING AND THAT WAY IT
00:11:43.50\00:11:46.43
HELPS THEM TO MEMORIZE
PSALM 27 WHICH TALKS ABOUT
00:11:46.47\00:11:51.97
AND YOU KNOW SOME OF
THESE PEOPLE REALLY FACE A LOT
00:11:52.01\00:11:54.31
OF PERSECUTION BECAUSE
THE DEVIL DOESN'T LIKE WHEN
00:11:54.34\00:11:58.05
YOU TALK ABOUT JESUS.
00:11:58.08\00:12:00.15
AND SO YOU KNOW IT
SAYS THE ENEMY CAME UP THAT
00:12:00.18\00:12:05.89
THEY FELL
BEFORE YOU KNOW BEFORE.
00:12:05.92\00:12:09.09
I HAVEN'T MEMORIZED
THIS ONE SO WELL IN ANY WAY.
00:12:09.12\00:12:12.09
AND THIS IS WRITTEN
IN ENGLISH ON THE BACK.
00:12:12.13\00:12:13.86
YES THAT'S RIGHT.
00:12:13.90\00:12:15.10
BUT BESIDES THE PSALM
27 THAT WE HAD GIVEN THEM
00:12:15.13\00:12:18.00
LAST YEAR WE HAD GIVEN
THEM PSALM 91 WHICH ALSO,
00:12:18.03\00:12:23.61
THE SAME IDEA.
00:12:23.64\00:12:24.61
WE ASKED HOW MANY HAD
MEMORIZED IT AND THERE
00:12:24.64\00:12:25.97
WERE THOSE WHO HAD MEMORIZED IT.
00:12:26.01\00:12:27.78
AND SO ONE OF THE STORIES
THAT CAME OUT OF THE PSALM
00:12:27.81\00:12:30.78
91 WAS THE STORY ABOUT
A MAN WHO HE WAS CALLED IN
00:12:30.81\00:12:33.28
THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
WELL IT WAS A FRIEND, THE
00:12:33.31\00:12:38.39
FRIEND.
00:12:47.56\00:12:49.16
CALLED HIM ON THE PHONE?
00:12:49.20\00:12:50.10
NO HE WAS CALLED
OUT TO GO PRAY FOR HIM.
00:12:50.13\00:12:52.10
OKAY.
00:12:52.13\00:12:53.17
BECAUSE THIS MAN HE HAD
SOME FRIENDS WHO HAD DIED
00:12:53.20\00:12:59.54
ONE OF HIS FRIENDS AND HIS SON.
00:12:59.57\00:13:02.44
WELL THE SON "KEPT
COMING BACK TO HIM" EVERY NIGHT.
00:13:02.48\00:13:08.12
VISITATIONS.
00:13:08.15\00:13:09.15
A VISITATION AT NIGHT
SAYING I DIDN'T WANT TO
00:13:09.18\00:13:12.95
DIE, I WANTED TO LIVE.
00:13:12.99\00:13:14.82
I DIDN'T WANT TO DIE.
00:13:14.86\00:13:15.96
AND THIS SPIRIT WOULD
KEEP COMING TO HIM AND TELL HIM
00:13:15.99\00:13:21.66
THIS.
00:13:21.70\00:13:22.66
HE KEPT HIM AWAKE FOR
THREE NIGHTS IN A ROW.
00:13:22.70\00:13:25.67
FINALLY A FRIEND OF
THE WIFE SAID WELL I KNOW
00:13:25.70\00:13:30.04
SOMEBODY WHO CAN
COME AND PRAY FOR YOU.
00:13:30.07\00:13:32.74
WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO
CALL THEM AND SO THEY DID.
00:13:32.77\00:13:35.08
SO ONE OF OUR GO PASTORS
WENT TO PRAY FOR THIS MAN.
00:13:35.11\00:13:37.91
AND HE IS ASKING US
TO PRAY FOR THIS MAN TOO.
00:13:37.95\00:13:41.25
HE WENT, HE READ PSALM
91 TO HIM AND PRAYED FOR HIM
00:13:41.28\00:13:47.49
AND WHEN THEY FINISHED
WITH THAT IT WAS THE POWER
00:13:47.52\00:13:50.16
OF GOD'S WORD THAT
THE EVIL SPIRIT WAS GONE.
00:13:50.19\00:13:54.30
IT WAS FINISHED.
00:13:54.30\00:13:55.26
PRAISE GOD FOR THAT.
00:13:55.30\00:13:56.16
AND SO NOW THEY
ARE STUDYING THE BIBLE
00:13:56.20\00:13:58.23
TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY
LEARNED AGAIN THE POWER OF
00:13:58.27\00:14:00.57
THE NAME OF JESUS.
00:14:00.60\00:14:01.97
AND THE POWER OF HIS WORD.
00:14:02.00\00:14:03.51
THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO
STOP AND SPEAK AGAIN TO
00:14:03.54\00:14:08.61
OUR LISTENERS.
00:14:11.08\00:14:12.91
GOD IS AT WORK.
00:14:12.95\00:14:14.42
YOU JUST HEARD A STORY ABOUT IT.
00:14:14.45\00:14:16.15
THERE ARE SO MANY LIKE
THAT ALL OVER THE 10/40
00:14:16.18\00:14:19.72
WINDOW.
00:14:19.75\00:14:20.79
AND I WANT YOU TO JUST
GET THAT ENCOURAGEMENT AGAIN
00:14:20.82\00:14:23.93
THAT WE HAVE.
00:14:23.96\00:14:24.76
LOOK AT THE WAYS
YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE.
00:14:24.79\00:14:25.76
LOOK AT THE WAYS YOU
CAN BE INVOLVED INCLUDING
00:14:25.79\00:14:27.30
PRAYING FOR THIS.
00:14:27.30\00:14:28.10
LET'S LISTEN TO
THIS WONDERFUL VIDEO.
00:14:28.13\00:14:29.26
WHY HASN'T JESUS COME.
00:14:29.30\00:14:30.07
IT'S BECAUSE WE
HAVE A JOB TO DO.
00:14:30.10\00:14:35.24
ONE THAT HIS RETURN DEPENDS ON.
00:14:40.48\00:14:42.51
THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT
CHRIST WILL COME AFTER THE
00:14:42.54\00:14:46.38
GOSPEL HAS BEEN
PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD.
00:14:46.41\00:14:48.95
THE WORLD'S POPULATION
EXCEEDS 7 BILLION BUT 3
00:14:48.98\00:14:54.52
BILLION PEOPLE STILL NEED
TO HEAR ABOUT JESUS' LOVE.
00:14:54.56\00:14:57.76
NINETY-SEVEN PERCENT OF
THE UNREACHED PEOPLE LIVE
00:14:57.79\00:15:01.63
IN THE AREA FROM
10-40 DEGREES NORTH OF THE
00:15:01.66\00:15:04.53
EQUATOR.
00:15:04.57\00:15:05.60
FROM WEST AFRICA, THE
MIDDLE EAST, INDIA, CHINA,
00:15:05.63\00:15:10.17
TO JAPAN.
00:15:10.21\00:15:12.31
GOSPEL OUTREACH
HAS A UNIQUE APPROACH.
00:15:12.34\00:15:16.14
WITH THE SUPPORT OF
PEOPLE LIKE YOU WE SPONSOR LOCAL

GOSPEL WORKERS IN

BECAUSE THEY KNOW
THE LANGUAGE, CULTURE AND
00:15:23.35\00:15:25.72
RELIGIONS OF THEIR
NEIGHBORS THEY FACE FEWER
00:15:25.75\00:15:28.36
CHALLENGES THAN
FOREIGN MISSIONARIES WOULD.
00:15:28.39\00:15:30.49
TOGETHER WITH YOU WE

00:15:30.53\00:15:36.26
WORKERS.
00:15:36.30\00:15:37.70
BUT MORE ARE NEEDED.
00:15:37.73\00:15:38.73
LET'S REACH THE UNREACHED
WITH THE SAVING POWER OF

WELCOME BACK TO
"ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS",
00:15:56.85\00:15:59.29
GOSPEL OUTREACH WITH
JOHN AND RUBY STAFFORD.
00:15:59.32\00:16:02.59
WE HAVE A FEW MINUTES
TO TELL SOME MORE STORIES.
00:16:02.62\00:16:05.26
START WITH ONE.
00:16:05.29\00:16:07.03
WHAT'S THE NEXT
ONE ON YOUR LIST THERE?
00:16:07.10\00:16:09.63
WELL WE EMPHASIZE THE
IMPORTANCE AND THE POWER
00:16:09.66\00:16:12.77
OF PRAYER.
00:16:12.80\00:16:14.50
SO AS THE GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKERS HAD COME, 20 OF
00:16:14.54\00:16:18.51
THEM, AND WE MADE A CIRCLE.
00:16:18.54\00:16:20.88
AND SO WE GAVE THEM AN
OPPORTUNITY TO PRAY AND TO
00:16:20.91\00:16:23.58
PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER AS WELL.
00:16:23.61\00:16:24.65
WE HAVE ACTUALLY PUT A
CHAIR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
00:16:24.68\00:16:25.68
CIRCLE AND THEY ALL CAME
AND PLACED THEIR HANDS ON
00:16:25.71\00:16:26.65
THE ONE THAT WANTED
SPECIAL PRAYER AND WE
00:16:26.68\00:16:28.25
PRAYED FOR THEM.
00:16:28.28\00:16:29.22
WE TAUGHT THEM BASIC
PRINCIPLES OF PRAYER.
00:16:29.25\00:16:34.02
THE ABC OF PRAYER.
00:16:41.16\00:16:42.46
ASK, BELIEVE AND
CLAIM THE PROMISES OF GOD.
00:16:42.50\00:16:47.67
THESE ARE BASIC PRINCIPLES
OF CHRISTIANITY THAT THESE
00:16:47.70\00:16:50.97
GUYS WILL TAKE
TO THEIR VILLAGES.
00:16:51.01\00:16:53.74
AND THE POWER OF
PRAYER IS SO VERY IMPORTANT.
00:16:53.78\00:16:57.68
WHILE WE WERE ENCOURAGING
THEM TO CONFESS THEIR SINS
00:16:57.71\00:17:03.89
WHAT WE HAD THEM DO IS
WRITE THE SINS DOWN ON A
00:17:03.92\00:17:06.69
SHEET OF PAPER AND THEN
WE HAD A LITTLE "INCENDIE"
00:17:06.72\00:17:11.19
YOU KNOW, A FIRE
OUT IN THE COURTYARD.
00:17:11.23\00:17:17.90
AND SO WE MADE THE CIRCLE
AROUND AS THEY SANG WHITER
00:17:17.93\00:17:21.80
THAN SNOW .
00:17:21.84\00:17:22.80
YOU KNOW AS THE SINS
ARE CONSUMED IN THE FIRE THE
00:17:22.84\00:17:26.44
HOLY SPIRIT JUST
FILLS THEM WITH THE JOY OF
00:17:26.47\00:17:29.68
FORGIVENESS.
00:17:29.71\00:17:30.75
AND THEY SANG THIS
SONG WHICH I'LL LET YOU HEAR
00:17:30.78\00:17:35.72
NOW ABOUT WASHED IN
THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB.
00:17:35.75\00:17:40.62
(MEN SINGING IN HARMONY).
00:17:40.66\00:17:42.72
WE WOULD LIKE TO
SHARE WITH YOU ANOTHER THING
00:17:59.81\00:18:04.05
THAT WE TAUGHT
THEM IS WITH THE "WAPI"
00:18:04.08\00:18:05.61
HYDROTHERAPY PRINCIPLE
WHICH I THINK RUBY WOULD
00:18:05.65\00:18:06.95
LIKE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT NOW.
00:18:06.98\00:18:07.62
WHAT IS THIS?
00:18:07.65\00:18:08.75
AS I HAVE LOOKED AT THIS
I KEEP SEEING A FISHING LURE
00:18:08.78\00:18:09.65
BUT IT'S NOT IS IT.
00:18:09.68\00:18:10.65
IT'S A HOOK BUT IT
HOOKS OVER THE EDGE OF A WATER
00:18:10.69\00:18:11.65
POT.
00:18:11.69\00:18:12.32
WATER POT.
00:18:12.35\00:18:13.12
DID WE DO THIS ALREADY?
00:18:13.15\00:18:14.12
WELL JUST SHOW IT UP
ONE MORE TIME THERE AND THIS
00:18:14.16\00:18:19.03
IS AN AMAZING
THERMOMETER THAT ALLOWS THEM TO
00:18:19.06\00:18:22.60
PASTEURIZE THEIR WATER
SO THAT IT IS NOT FILLED UP
00:18:22.63\00:18:25.27
WITH ANY GERMS.
00:18:25.30\00:18:28.97
I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE
TEACHING THEM THAT.
00:18:29.00\00:18:34.08
THAT'S AMAZING.
00:18:41.08\00:18:42.35
AND THERE'S YVONNE
THAT YOU MENTIONED IN YOUR
00:18:42.38\00:18:47.46
LIST.
00:18:50.59\00:18:52.36
YES.
00:18:52.39\00:18:54.13
YVONNE AND HIS WIFE
ARE DOING A GREAT WORK.
00:18:54.20\00:18:59.23
(WOMEN SINGING) MAYBE
YOU SHOULD TELL ME A BIT MORE
00:19:10.55\00:19:15.62
ABOUT WHAT IS A VOODOO VILLAGE.
00:19:28.63\00:19:33.70
A VOODOO VILLAGE ARE
PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN THE
00:19:40.08\00:19:44.21
ANIMISTS.
00:19:44.25\00:19:45.58
IT'S ANIMISM.
00:19:45.61\00:19:47.12
ANIMISM.
00:19:47.15\00:19:48.15
WHERE THEY WORSHIP THE
CREATURE INSTEAD OF THE
00:19:48.18\00:19:50.19
CREATOR.
00:19:50.22\00:19:50.85
THIS IS PREVALENT.
00:19:50.89\00:19:55.76
THIS PARTICULAR VILLAGE
WE HAVE A GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:19:55.79\00:20:00.13
WORKER THAT HAS BUILT A
CHURCH AND A CHURCH WITHIN
00:20:00.16\00:20:04.43
THE CHURCH.
00:20:04.47\00:20:06.00
SO THEY ARE
ENLARGING THEIR CHURCH.
00:20:06.03\00:20:08.17
THERE IS GOING TO BE A
BIGGER CHURCH WHEN THEY
00:20:08.20\00:20:09.77
GET DONE WITH IT AND
THEY WILL BE ABLE TO TEAR DOWN
00:20:09.80\00:20:11.91
THIS ONE THAT'S JUST
MADE WITH PALM BRANCHES.
00:20:11.94\00:20:14.81
OH WOW.
00:20:14.84\00:20:15.81
AND THAT ROOF IS A
PRETTY ROUGH LOOKING ROOF.
00:20:15.84\00:20:19.35
THIS IS DOWN IN A
PLACE CALLED WHEDON.
00:20:19.38\00:20:22.88
YOU'VE ALL
HEARD OF OUIJA BOARDS.
00:20:22.92\00:20:25.69
WELL THIS IS WHERE
THERE IS A LOT OF EVIL SPIRIT
00:20:25.72\00:20:29.39
WORSHIP.
00:20:29.42\00:20:30.39
I ASKED THE YOUNG MAN
HERE, I ASKED HIM ON THE
00:20:30.43\00:20:33.46
LEFT THERE, I ASKED HIM
WHAT YOU KNOW DO YOU HAVE
00:20:33.50\00:20:39.00
TO DEAL WITH EVIL SPIRITS HERE?
00:20:39.03\00:20:40.84
HE SAID EVERY DAY THAT
HE IS PRAYING FOR SOMEONE.
00:20:40.87\00:20:44.97
AND TELLING THE POWER OF
JESUS' NAME AND PRAYING TO
00:20:45.01\00:20:48.18
JESUS THAT THESE PEOPLE
WILL BE FREED FROM THESE
00:20:48.21\00:20:50.95
EVIL SPIRIT FORCES.
00:20:50.98\00:20:53.15
BECAUSE THAT'S
PART OF LIVING IN THAT
00:20:53.18\00:20:55.68
ENVIRONMENT.
00:20:55.72\00:20:56.35
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:20:56.38\00:20:57.39
THEY END UP HAVING TO
RELATE TO THESE SPIRITS
00:20:57.42\00:21:01.19
THAT WANT TO CONTROL.
00:21:01.22\00:21:03.32
IS THAT RIGHT?
00:21:03.36\00:21:04.46
YES.
00:21:04.49\00:21:05.53
AND THIS YOUNG MAN ON
THE RIGHT, HE IS ONE OF THE
00:21:05.56\00:21:07.23
GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS THAT HAS TRAINED THE
00:21:07.30\00:21:09.76
OTHERS.
00:21:09.80\00:21:11.00
OH, WOW.
00:21:11.03\00:21:12.07
AND IN THE NEXT PICTURE
WE HAVE THE ONE WHO TRAINED
00:21:12.10\00:21:15.54
THE COORDINATOR,
THE GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:21:15.57\00:21:17.31
COORDINATOR.
00:21:17.34\00:21:18.44
THIS GUY ON THE LEFT WAS
A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER WHO
00:21:18.47\00:21:22.58
HAS BECOME THE
MISSION TREASURER.
00:21:22.61\00:21:24.91
AND SO NOW HE HAD
DESCENDED YOU MIGHT SAY,
00:21:24.95\00:21:31.79
OKAY, WHO IS
NOW THE COORDINATOR.
00:21:31.82\00:21:33.59
SPIRITUAL DESCENDANTS.
00:21:33.62\00:21:34.66
AND THAT COORDINATOR HAS
GIVEN BIRTH TO ANOTHER ONE
00:21:34.69\00:21:39.23
SO THAT'S THE WAY IT WORKS.
00:21:39.26\00:21:40.20
OH WOW.
00:21:40.23\00:21:41.23
SO THESE GO WORKERS
ARE VERY VERY IMPORTANT AND
00:21:41.26\00:21:44.83
ESPECIALLY IN THIS
COUNTRY WHERE THERE'S A LOT OF
00:21:44.87\00:21:47.87
IDOL WORSHIP.
00:21:47.90\00:21:49.97
YOU CAN SEE THE VOODOO
IDOL DOWN ON THE BOTTOM
00:21:51.37\00:21:53.81
LEFT CORNER AND WE SEE
THESE VOODOO IDOLS IN THE
00:21:53.84\00:21:58.01
VILLAGES AS WE PASS BUY.
00:21:58.05\00:22:01.72
WHAT ROLE DO THEY PLAY?
00:22:01.75\00:22:05.29
THEY ARE WORSHIPED ARE THEY?
00:22:05.32\00:22:06.99
THEY WORSHIP THEM.
00:22:07.02\00:22:08.29
THEY BRING THEM FOOD
AND OFFERINGS AND ANIMAL
00:22:08.32\00:22:11.56
SACRIFICES TO
APPEASE THE GODS YOU KNOW.
00:22:11.59\00:22:15.13
OKAY.
00:22:15.16\00:22:16.13
AND SO THIS IS PURE
PAGANISM AND PEOPLE ARE
00:22:16.16\00:22:20.90
LEARNING ABOUT JESUS AND
THE POWER OF JESUS AND THE
00:22:23.47\00:22:25.47
POWER OF HIS NAME.
00:22:25.51\00:22:26.71
THE POWER OF HIS WORDS
ARE MUCH GREATER THAN THE
00:22:26.74\00:22:28.04
POWER OF THE
DEMONS AND THE IDOLS.
00:22:28.08\00:22:29.41
AS WE COME DOWN TO OUR
LAST SECONDS IS THERE ANY
00:22:29.44\00:22:32.31
LAST THING YOU
WANT TO ADD TO THAT?
00:22:32.35\00:22:34.52
WE'D LIKE TO JUST LET
YOU LISTEN TO ONE APPEAL.
00:22:34.55\00:22:37.89
OKAY.
00:22:37.92\00:22:39.99
IN A LAND WHERE THERE
ARE MANY SPIRITS GOD WANT'S
00:27:14.23\00:27:15.20
HIS MINISTERING
SPIRITS COME AND CONTINUE TO
00:27:15.23\00:27:16.23
SPREAD THE GOOD
NEWS ABOUT JESUS.
00:27:16.26\00:27:17.87
HELP US TO
BECOME BETTER INVESTORS.
00:27:17.90\00:27:20.64
