I'M OLE OLESEN AND I HAVE
GOOD FRIENDS HERE JOHN AND
00:00:33.09\00:00:38.13
RUBY STAFFORD AND WE
ARE GOING TO BE TAKING ABOUT
00:00:43.51\00:00:48.54
GABON.
00:00:48.58\00:00:50.15
ONE OF THOSE COUNTRIES
IN WEST AFRICA WHERE FRENCH
00:00:50.18\00:00:54.42
IS THE COLONIAL
LANGUAGE AND THEY PROBABLY HAVE
00:00:54.45\00:00:56.85
DOZENS OF OTHER
LANGUAGES IN THE COUNTRY.
00:00:56.89\00:01:00.19
AND YOU WERE THERE
RECENTLY WERE YOU NOT?
00:01:00.22\00:01:02.89
YES WE WERE THERE.
00:01:02.92\00:01:04.36
YOU KNOW I WAS JUST
THINKING ABOUT HOW YOU AND
00:01:04.39\00:01:06.96
I STUDIED FRENCH.
00:01:07.00\00:01:08.36
I NEVER REALIZED, NEVER
DREAMED WHEN I MAJORED IN
00:01:08.40\00:01:11.90
FRENCH AND STUDIED
FRENCH IN COLLONGES, WHERE THAT
00:01:11.93\00:01:16.44
LANGUAGE WOULD TAKE ME TO
PLACES LIKE GABON AND WEST
00:01:16.47\00:01:19.74
AFRICA AND JUST OPENED
DOORS OF OPPORTUNITY TO BE
00:01:19.77\00:01:23.08
ABLE TO TALK WITH
PEOPLE THAT I WOULD NO WAY HAVE
00:01:23.11\00:01:25.48
BEEN ABLE TO
COMMUNICATE WITH IN ENGLISH.
00:01:25.51\00:01:27.58
AND VERY TRUE.
00:01:27.62\00:01:28.95
YOU HAVE USED THAT NOW
FOR YOUR WHOLE CAREER HAVE YOU
00:01:28.98\00:01:31.39
NOT.
00:01:31.42\00:01:32.05
THAT'S TRUE.
00:01:32.09\00:01:33.05
WELL TELL US ABOUT
GABON BECAUSE MOST OF US ARE
00:01:33.09\00:01:37.03
FAIRLY UNFAMILIAR.
00:01:37.06\00:01:38.46
I'M SURE SOMEBODY WHO
WATCHES THIS, ONE OF YOU
00:01:38.49\00:01:41.86
OUT THERE, WILL KNOW
GABON THROUGH AND THROUGH AND
00:01:41.90\00:01:44.87
YOU'LL LISTEN CAREFULLY.
00:01:44.90\00:01:46.97
LET'S SHARE WITH
THOSE OF US WHO DON'T KNOW.
00:01:47.00\00:01:49.54
UPDATE US.
00:01:49.57\00:01:50.61
WELL GABON IS A COUNTRY
IN THE STEAMING JUNGLE OF
00:01:50.64\00:01:55.14
AFRICA YOU KNOW.
00:01:55.18\00:01:57.31
IS IT NEAR THE EQUATOR?
00:01:57.35\00:01:58.51
IT'S RIGHT ON THE
EQUATOR AND SO YOU HAVE TROPICAL
00:01:58.55\00:02:02.08
RAIN AND A LOT OF
WATER COMING DOWN IN THE
00:02:02.12\00:02:04.99
JUNGLES.
00:02:05.02\00:02:05.95
AND SO WHEN YOU
TRAVEL THROUGH GABON YOU'RE
00:02:05.99\00:02:07.89
TRAVELING THROUGH
JUNGLES WHERE ELEPHANTS ROAM AND
00:02:07.92\00:02:12.86
TIGERS ARE ALSO LURKING ABOUT.
00:02:12.89\00:02:16.06
I DON'T THINK THERE
ARE TIGERS IN AFRICA.
00:02:16.10\00:02:17.73
AM I WRONG?
00:02:17.77\00:02:18.67
OR MAYBE IT'S LEOPARDS.
00:02:18.70\00:02:19.70
LEOPARDS, THERE YOU GO.
00:02:19.73\00:02:20.87
(LAUGHTER) THANK
YOU FOR CORRECTING ME.
00:02:20.90\00:02:23.20
ANYWAY YES WE
ARRIVED IN LIBREVILLE.
00:02:23.24\00:02:27.24
GABON IS A COUNTRY WITH
ONE MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED
00:02:27.28\00:02:33.35
THOUSAND PEOPLE AND MOST
OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE LIVING
00:02:33.38\00:02:37.09
RIGHT THERE AROUND
LIBREVILLE THE CAPITAL
00:02:37.12\00:02:39.75
CITY.
00:02:39.79\00:02:40.39
LIBREVILLE IS ALSO A PORT.
00:02:40.42\00:02:42.06
IT ALSO EXPORTS PRODUCTS
FROM LIBREVILLE ESPECIALLY
00:02:42.09\00:02:45.99
WOOD PRODUCTS.
00:02:46.03\00:02:47.46
A LOT OF FORESTRY
GOING ON THERE IN GABON.
00:02:47.50\00:02:54.17
EIGHTY PERCENT OF THE
PEOPLE, THEY SAY, LIVE IN
00:02:54.20\00:02:59.31
LIBREVILLE.
00:02:59.34\00:03:00.28
EIGHTY PERCENT OF
THE WHOLE POPULATION.
00:03:00.31\00:03:02.98
I DON'T KNOW, THAT
DOESN'T SOUND QUITE RIGHT TO ME
00:03:03.01\00:03:05.71
BUT STILL.
00:03:05.75\00:03:06.55
SAY THE POPULATION AGAIN.
00:03:06.58\00:03:07.88
ONE MILLION
EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND.
00:03:07.92\00:03:09.22
ONE MILLION
EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND.
00:03:09.25\00:03:10.99
SO THERE ARE A LOT OF
PEOPLE THAT LIVE RIGHT
00:03:11.02\00:03:12.39
THERE IN THE CAPITAL.
00:03:12.42\00:03:13.39
AND SO THE PEOPLE
COME FROM OUTSIDE AND THIS
00:03:13.42\00:03:15.39
AFFECTS OUR WORK.
00:03:15.42\00:03:16.83
SO IN GABON WE HAVE
ONLY FOUR GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:03:16.86\00:03:20.26
WORKERS.
00:03:20.30\00:03:21.36
WE HAVE EIGHT PASTORS.
00:03:21.40\00:03:23.97
WHEN WE ARRIVED THERE
WE ALSO HAD A NEW PRESIDENT
00:03:24.00\00:03:28.37
AND SECRETARY OF THE MISSION.
00:03:28.40\00:03:30.77
THEY HAD THE SAME
TREASURER AS WHEN WE WENT
00:03:30.81\00:03:33.58
LAST YEAR.
00:03:33.61\00:03:34.64
BUT WE HAVE ALTOGETHER
22 CHURCHES IN THE COUNTRY
00:03:34.68\00:03:38.15
AND 11 OF THOSE
CHURCHES ARE ACTUALLY IN GABON.
00:03:38.18\00:03:41.95
AND I WOULD JUST
LIKE TO SHOW YOU HERE.
00:03:41.98\00:03:45.82
WE CAN SEE THE LITTLE
KIND OF PINK SPOTS ON THE
00:03:45.85\00:03:50.46
COUNTRY OF GABON.
00:03:50.49\00:03:51.53
AND THOSE LITTLE PINK
SPOTS, THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO
00:03:51.56\00:03:56.46
BE LITTLE PINK CHURCHES.
00:03:56.50\00:03:58.80
AND THOSE WERE BUILT WHEN
THEY HAD SOME EVANGELISTIC
00:03:58.83\00:04:02.77
MEETINGS.
00:04:02.80\00:04:04.01
BUT BECAUSE THEY DID NOT
HAVE, YOU SEE I SAID ONLY
00:04:04.04\00:04:07.04
EIGHT PASTORS WHICH
MOST OF THEM, THREE OF THEM,
00:04:07.08\00:04:11.05
THOSE PASTORS ARE
PART OF THE MISSION.
00:04:11.08\00:04:14.28
MAKES SENSE.
00:04:14.32\00:04:15.28
OKAY.
00:04:15.32\00:04:16.38
LIKE THE PRESIDENT OF THE
MISSION IS THE PASTOR OF A
00:04:16.42\00:04:19.95
CHURCH PLUS HE'S THE
PRESIDENT OF THE MISSION
00:04:19.99\00:04:24.06
PLUS HE'S A GOSPEL
OUTREACH COORDINATOR.
00:04:24.09\00:04:26.93
A LOT OF HATS TO WEAR.
00:04:26.96\00:04:28.06
A LOT OF THINGS THAT
THEY ARE HAVING TO DO.
00:04:28.10\00:04:31.37
AND SO BECAUSE OF THAT
WITH THESE PEOPLE, WHAT I
00:04:31.40\00:04:36.47
SHOWED YOU ON THIS
MAP HERE, THOSE ARE AREAS
00:04:38.74\00:04:43.55
WHERE CHURCHES WERE BUILT
WHEN THEY HAD EVANGELISTIC
00:04:43.58\00:04:46.51
MEETINGS.
00:04:46.55\00:04:47.18
OKAY.
00:04:47.22\00:04:48.32
BUT BECAUSE OF THE LACK
OF WORKERS THESE CHURCHES ARE
00:04:48.35\00:04:52.32
EMPTY.
00:04:52.35\00:04:53.39
AND SO THEY ARE MAKING A
REQUEST THAT THEY HAVE SIX
00:04:53.42\00:04:57.59
MORE WORKERS BECAUSE
THE PEOPLE ARE THERE.
00:04:57.63\00:05:02.90
BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE
A LEADER AND THEY WERE NEW
00:05:02.93\00:05:05.67
THEY DIDN'T KNOW ENOUGH.
00:05:05.70\00:05:08.10
THEY NEEDED A LEADER.
00:05:08.14\00:05:10.44
AND SO THEY ARE ASKING
FOR MORE GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:05:10.47\00:05:13.01
WORKERS TO BE ABLE
TO GO TO THESE CHURCHES.
00:05:13.04\00:05:15.58
AND ALSO ONE OF OUR
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS IS UP
00:05:15.61\00:05:20.75
HERE AT OYEM.
00:05:20.78\00:05:22.05
ANOTHER ONE IS HERE AND I
WILL TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT
00:05:22.08\00:05:27.19
MORE ABOUT HIM LATER.
00:05:27.22\00:05:28.92
AND ANOTHER ONE IS DOWN HERE.
00:05:28.96\00:05:31.49
SOMEHOW I MISSED WHERE
THE OTHER ONE WAS WORKING.
00:05:31.53\00:05:35.33
MOST OF THOSE ARE
SCATTERED AWAY FROM
00:05:35.36\00:05:38.33
HEADQUARTERS.
00:05:38.37\00:05:38.90
THEY'RE WAY OUT THERE.
00:05:38.93\00:05:40.07
THEY'RE OUT IN THE JUNGLE.
00:05:40.10\00:05:40.94
YES.
00:05:40.97\00:05:41.97
SO I'LL TELL A LITTLE
BIT MORE ABOUT THAT LATER.
00:05:42.00\00:05:44.44
OKAY.
00:05:44.47\00:05:45.41
WELL YOU KNOW THAT
IS INTRIGUING TO TRY TO
00:05:45.44\00:05:48.38
IMAGINE HOW THEY GET
OUT THERE, HOW THEY BRING
00:05:48.41\00:05:51.15
THEIR JOY.
00:05:51.18\00:05:52.18
AND THEY'RE WISHING THAT
WE WOULD FUND ANOTHER SIX
00:05:52.21\00:05:56.38
AT LEAST.
00:05:56.42\00:05:57.05
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:05:57.09\00:05:58.09
NOW LET ME JUST MENTION,
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP
00:05:58.12\00:06:01.72
FUND SOME OF THESE
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS IN GABON
00:06:01.76\00:06:04.56
YOU NEED TO DO IT
THROUGH GOSPEL OUTREACH CANADA.
00:06:04.59\00:06:09.96
BECAUSE CANADA HAS
TAKEN ON THIS OUTREACH IN WEST
00:06:10.00\00:06:14.97
AFRICA.
00:06:15.00\00:06:17.04
SO LOOK FOR THAT
TAG ON YOUR TV SCREEN.
00:06:18.14\00:06:22.41
LOOK FOR WHERE TO
CONTACT THEM, HOW TO REACH THEM
00:06:22.44\00:06:25.41
AND THEY WOULD LOVE
TO HAVE YOUR DONATIONS
00:06:25.45\00:06:27.58
WHETHER YOU LIVE
IN CANADA OR NOT.
00:06:27.62\00:06:30.05
OKAY, JOHN AND RUBY,
LET'S GO BACK TO GABON.
00:06:30.09\00:06:33.39
TELL US ANOTHER
STORY FROM GABON.
00:06:33.42\00:06:35.96
WELL AS YOU CAN SEE ON
THE MAP GABON IS RIGHT THERE
00:06:35.99\00:06:40.20
ON THE ATLANTIC OCEAN COAST.
00:06:40.23\00:06:43.97
THE REPUBLIC OF
CONGO IS ON THE EAST SIDE.
00:06:44.00\00:06:48.94
EQUATORIAL
GUINEA IS ON THE NORTH.
00:06:48.97\00:06:51.77
ANYWAY AS WE SPENT TIME
WITH OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:06:51.81\00:06:56.08
WORKERS I'D LIKE
TO SHARE A STORY.
00:06:56.11\00:07:02.58
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
WE WOULD EAT IN A RESTAURANT
00:07:02.62\00:07:07.22
BY THE WAY.
00:07:07.26\00:07:08.76
LOOKS GOOD.
00:07:08.79\00:07:09.76
AND YOU CAN ENJOY THOSE VEGGIES.
00:07:09.79\00:07:12.79
THEY WERE DELICIOUS.
00:07:12.83\00:07:14.30
BUT ANYWAY I WANTED
TO SHARE WITH YOU A STORY
00:07:14.30\00:07:17.73
ABOUT ONE OF OUR
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS.
00:07:17.77\00:07:22.84
HE HAD A STORY ABOUT A
17 YEAR-OLD BOY WHO WAS
00:07:25.91\00:07:30.21
PARALYZED.
00:07:30.25\00:07:31.78
HE COULD NOT MOVE.
00:07:31.81\00:07:32.91
HE DID NOT SPEAK.
00:07:32.95\00:07:34.15
SO HE HAD THOSE
PROBLEMS AND SO THEY CALLED UPON
00:07:34.18\00:07:40.86
OUR WORKER TO
COME AND PRAY FOR HIM.
00:07:40.89\00:07:44.13
WELL THE ROADS WERE SO
BAD AND IT HAD BEEN SUCH A
00:07:44.16\00:07:47.96
HORRIBLE, THEY
GET COMPLETELY BLOCKED
00:07:47.96\00:07:50.93
SOMETIMES IN BUSSES
AND TRUCKS AND BLOCK THE
00:07:50.97\00:07:53.17
TRAFFIC AND THEY GET
BOGGED DOWN IN DITCHES.
00:07:53.20\00:07:55.60
I'VE SEEN PICTURES OF
THESE TRUCKS JUST UP TO
00:07:55.64\00:07:59.77
THEIR GILLS YOU
MIGHT SAY IN MUD.
00:07:59.81\00:08:03.35
ANYWAY HE COULDN'T
GET TO THIS BOY'S HOUSE.
00:08:03.38\00:08:05.71
BUT HE WAS ABLE TO GET
TO HIS BROTHER'S HOUSE.
00:08:05.75\00:08:08.48
AND SO HE MET WITH HIS BROTHER.
00:08:08.52\00:08:10.55
NOW HE IS STILL A
DISTANCE AWAY FROM THIS BOY.
00:08:10.59\00:08:16.22
SO HE PRAYED.
00:08:16.26\00:08:17.79
HE READ PSALM 103 THAT
SAYS BLESS THE LORD OH MY
00:08:17.83\00:08:23.03
SOUL WHO FORGIVES ALL
YOUR SINS AND WHO HEALS ALL
00:08:23.06\00:08:26.03
YOUR DISEASES, AND
THOSE VERSES WERE POWERFUL.
00:08:26.07\00:08:28.57
AND WITH PRAYER AND
WITH SINGING HYMNS HE SPENT
00:08:28.60\00:08:29.90
SOME TIME AND THEY
ALL PRAYED FOR THIS BOY.
00:08:29.94\00:08:32.11
AND WHEN THEY FINISHED
PRAYING THEY GOT WORD THAT
00:08:32.14\00:08:33.48
HE WAS FEELING BETTER
AND HE WAS STARTING TO MOVE
00:08:33.51\00:08:36.98
AROUND.
00:08:37.01\00:08:37.95
AND SO THEY DECIDED
TO SPEND ANOTHER DAY IN
00:08:37.98\00:08:41.25
PRAYER AND CLAIMING
THESE PROMISES OF GOD AND
00:08:41.28\00:08:44.65
SINGING HYMNS AND THEY
GOT WORD AGAIN THAT THE BOY
00:08:44.69\00:08:47.92
WAS COMPLETELY WELL.
00:08:47.96\00:08:48.96
HE WAS TALKING,
WALKING AND COMING TO CHURCH.
00:08:48.99\00:08:51.43
AND SO THIS IS AGAIN
ANOTHER DEMONSTRATION OF
00:08:51.46\00:08:53.96
THE POWER OF THE WORD OF GOD.
00:08:54.00\00:08:55.93
I HAVE HEARD THAT
THEY MIGHT HAVE HEARD THOSE
00:08:55.96\00:08:58.50
STORIES FROM A DISTANCE
BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN
00:08:58.53\00:09:01.40
AFRICA TODAY CARRY PHONES.
00:09:01.44\00:09:02.57
YES THIS IS VERY TRUE.
00:09:02.60\00:09:03.97
THE CELLULAR PHONES
HAVE MADE A TRANSFORMED
00:09:04.01\00:09:06.11
COMMUNICATION.
00:09:06.14\00:09:07.14
AND SO HERE THE MESSAGE
OF A HEALING COULD REACH
00:09:07.18\00:09:12.01
THEM.
00:09:12.05\00:09:13.05
EVEN THOUGH THE WEATHER
KEPT THEM AWAY THE PHONE
00:09:13.08\00:09:17.95
SYSTEM ALLOWED
THEM TO PARTICIPATE.
00:09:20.49\00:09:22.79
THAT'S A VERY
GOOD OBSERVATION OLE.
00:09:22.82\00:09:26.46
THE CELL PHONE, THE
SMART PHONE IS EVERYWHERE.
00:09:26.49\00:09:29.06
AND THEY ALL SEEM TO
HAVE THE SAME RING TONE TOO.
00:09:29.10\00:09:32.03
IT'S KIND OF AN
INTERESTING LITTLE JAZZY
00:09:32.07\00:09:35.00
ONE.
00:09:35.04\00:09:36.04
BUT IT'S INTERESTING HOW
IT'S COVERED THAT PART OF
00:09:36.07\00:09:39.24
AFRICA.
00:09:39.27\00:09:39.91
OH WOW.
00:09:39.94\00:09:40.94
WELL THAT MUST HAVE BEEN
A THRILLING STORY BOTH TO
00:09:40.98\00:09:45.68
HEAR AND TO BE A PART
OF FOR THAT GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:09:45.71\00:09:50.79
WORKER.
00:10:06.67\00:10:07.64
I WOULD LIKE TO TELL
YOU ABOUT ANOTHER WORKER.
00:10:07.67\00:10:12.74
WHEN WE SAW HIM LAST
YEAR HE WAS A LITTLE BIT
00:10:12.77\00:10:17.25
HEAVIER.
00:10:17.28\00:10:19.71
ANYWAY WE SAW HE HAD LOST
A LOT OF WEIGHT AND I SAID
00:10:19.75\00:10:22.82
YOU'RE SO SLIM YOU KNOW.
00:10:22.85\00:10:24.55
HOW COME YOU'VE
LOST SO MUCH WEIGHT?
00:10:24.59\00:10:27.66
YOU HAVEN'T BEEN ILL HAVE YOU?
00:10:27.69\00:10:30.63
AND HE SAID NO,
THAT HE HAD BEEN SO BUSY.
00:10:30.66\00:10:34.00
HE HAS A CHURCH PLUS HE
HAS TWO GROUPS PLUS HE HAS
00:10:34.00\00:10:39.07
A PRISON MINISTRY BESIDES.
00:10:41.97\00:10:43.30
A PRISON MINISTRY TOO.
00:10:43.34\00:10:44.31
AND ALWAYS TAKING
THE BUS HAVING TO TRAVEL.
00:10:44.34\00:10:48.88
HE'S LIKE ABOUT 600
KILOMETERS, I DON'T KNOW
00:10:48.91\00:10:50.21
WHAT THAT WOULD BE
IN MILES, AWAY FROM
00:10:50.25\00:10:51.55
LIBREVILLE.
00:10:51.58\00:10:52.21
ABOUT 400 MILES.
00:10:52.25\00:10:53.21
SO WHEN THEY CAME IN
HE HAD COME IN FOR SOME
00:10:53.25\00:10:54.25
PREVIOUS MEETINGS.
00:10:54.28\00:10:55.32
HE HAD JUST GOTTEN
BACK HOME AND HE HAD TO COME
00:10:55.35\00:10:56.42
BACK AGAIN TO MEET WITH
US BECAUSE HE SAID, OH MADAM
00:10:56.45\00:10:57.59
WE CAN'T TAKE YOU OUT THERE.
00:10:57.62\00:10:58.15
THE ROADS ARE TOO BAD.
00:10:58.19\00:10:58.92
WE CAN'T TAKE YOU.
00:10:58.95\00:10:59.75
THEY WERE BEING
PROTECTIVE OF YOU.
00:10:59.79\00:11:01.02
YES.
00:11:01.06\00:11:01.69
YES.
00:11:01.72\00:11:02.69
THEY SAID WE CAN'T
TAKE YOU TO OUR VILLAGES
00:11:02.72\00:11:03.49
BECAUSE THE
ROADS ARE JUST TOO BAD.
00:11:03.53\00:11:05.03
AND SO ANYWAY IT TOOK HIM
A LONG TIME TO COME IN AND
00:11:05.06\00:11:06.36
HE WAS ACTUALLY EXHAUSTED.
00:11:06.39\00:11:07.20
HE SLEPT THROUGH
SOME OF OUR CLASSES.
00:11:07.23\00:11:08.16
SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT
HE LOST A LOT OF HIS WEIGHT
00:11:08.20\00:11:09.70
JUST BY OVERWORKING ALMOST.
00:11:09.73\00:11:10.43
BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
00:11:10.47\00:11:11.50
AND HE IS NEEDING ANOTHER
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER TO
00:11:11.53\00:11:16.14
HELP HIM UP IN THAT AREA.
00:11:21.24\00:11:24.71
HE IS NEAR ONE OF
THOSE EMPTY CHURCHES.
00:11:24.75\00:11:31.29
OH MY.
00:11:31.32\00:11:32.29
AND SO IF HE CAN GET
SOMEBODY ELSE TO HELP HIM
00:11:32.32\00:11:37.06
UP THERE THAT
WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL.
00:12:00.42\00:12:02.05
BUT WE TRIED TO ENCOURAGE HIM.
00:12:02.08\00:12:05.09
WE SAID WELL YOU PRAY
BECAUSE WE HAVE A MIGHTY
00:12:05.12\00:12:09.02
GOD AND YOU PRAY THAT
GOD WILL HELP YOU GET A
00:12:09.06\00:12:12.19
MOTORCYCLE IF YOU NEED
IT OR WHATEVER YOU KNOW I
00:12:12.23\00:12:14.86
MEAN HE SAID GOD HAS,
YOU KNOW GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:12:14.93\00:12:18.50
NORMALLY DOES NOT
HELP, THEY HELP WITH WORKERS.
00:12:18.53\00:12:22.37
THEY HELP PAY FOR
WORKERS BUT WE DON'T HELP BUILD
00:12:22.40\00:12:26.51
CHURCHES.
00:12:26.54\00:12:27.51
YOU KNOW IT'S OTHER
PEOPLE WHO DO THAT, BUILD
00:12:27.54\00:12:29.34
CHURCHES OR PROVIDE
TRANSPORTATION, PROVIDE
00:12:29.38\00:12:31.65
TRANSPORTATION
BESIDES MOTORCYCLES.
00:12:31.68\00:12:35.65
THE MONEY THAT WE GIVE
IS USUALLY YOU KNOW TO HELP
00:12:35.68\00:12:39.29
PAY FOR WORKERS.
00:12:39.32\00:12:40.92
AND SO BUT WE TOLD HIM
YOU PRAY ABOUT IT BECAUSE GOD
00:12:40.96\00:12:44.46
HAS A THOUSAND MEANS
OF ANSWERING YOUR PRAYERS.
00:12:44.49\00:12:48.00
YOU WHO ARE WATCHING
THIS YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER YOU
00:12:48.03\00:12:51.67
ARE PART OF THAT.
00:12:51.70\00:12:52.67
GOD HAS USED PEOPLE
JUST LIKE YOU TO ANSWER THOSE
00:12:52.70\00:12:56.81
KIND OF PRAYERS.
00:12:56.84\00:12:58.77
WE THINK HOW MUCH WE
DEPEND ON GOD TOUCHING
00:12:58.81\00:13:04.21
HEARTS.
00:13:04.25\00:13:05.31
YOUR HEARTS WHERE YOU
HAVE THE MEANS TO SHARE, THEIR
00:13:05.35\00:13:08.85
HEARTS WHERE THEY
DESPERATELY NEED THAT
00:13:08.88\00:13:11.72
LIGHT IN THEIR LIFE.
00:13:11.75\00:13:13.56
LET'S WATCH A
WONDERFUL VIDEO THAT'S BEEN PUT
00:13:13.59\00:13:16.29
TOGETHER HERE
AT GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:13:16.32\00:13:17.96
EARTH.
00:13:17.99\00:13:19.03
VAST, BEAUTIFUL, BUT
TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AND YOU CAN
00:13:19.06\00:13:24.90
SEE THE PAIN OF A WORLD
ON A COLLISION COURSE WITH
00:13:24.93\00:13:30.61
IT'S OWN GREED.
00:13:30.64\00:13:32.67
HUMANITY.
00:13:32.71\00:13:33.41
WE NEED LOVE.
00:13:33.44\00:13:36.48
WE NEED HOPE.
00:13:36.51\00:13:38.28
WE NEED A SAVIOR.
00:13:38.31\00:13:41.52
MORE THAN ONE THIRD OF
THE WORLD'S SEVEN BILLION
00:13:41.55\00:13:44.25
PEOPLE STILL NEED TO
HEAR ABOUT GOD'S LOVE AND HIS
00:13:44.29\00:13:48.26
PLAN TO SAVE US.
00:13:48.29\00:13:49.66
ONE THIRD.
00:13:49.69\00:13:51.43
IN SUCH A BIG WORLD
IT'S EASY TO FEEL SMALL, BUT
00:13:51.46\00:13:57.13
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:13:57.17\00:13:59.73
PARTNER WITH GOSPEL
OUTREACH TO FUND BIBLE
00:13:59.77\00:14:02.70
WORKERS WHO ARE
MISSIONARIES IN THEIR OWN
00:14:02.74\00:14:05.04
VILLAGES, TOWNS AND CITIES.
00:14:05.07\00:14:08.04
THEY SHARE THE LIFE
CHANGING LOVE AND STORY OF
00:14:08.08\00:14:14.75
JESUS CHRIST.
00:14:14.78\00:14:16.25
THANK YOU FOR GIVING.
00:14:16.28\00:14:19.22
TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A
DIFFERENCE SO THAT ALL THE
00:14:19.25\00:14:24.33
WORLD MAY KNOW JESUS.
00:14:26.73\00:14:29.90
WELCOME BACK TO
"ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS."
00:14:29.93\00:14:32.23
TODAY WE'RE TALKING WITH
JOHN AND RUBY STAFFORD AND
00:14:32.27\00:14:35.84
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
GABON ON THE WEST COAST, THE
00:14:35.87\00:14:39.24
ATLANTIC COAST OF AFRICA.
00:14:39.27\00:14:41.64
THANK YOU FOR SHARING
SOME OF THOSE STORIES.
00:14:41.68\00:14:43.85
YOU HAVE ANOTHER ONE
I UNDERSTAND ABOUT JHON.
00:14:43.88\00:14:47.95
IS THAT HOW YOU
PRONOUNCE HIS NAME?
00:14:47.98\00:14:50.79
JHON.
00:14:50.82\00:14:51.85
I THOUGHT HE HAD MADE
A MISTAKE SPELLING IT BUT
00:14:51.89\00:14:56.42
THAT'S HOW HE
WANTED IT SPELLED, J-H-O-N.
00:14:56.46\00:15:00.20
HE'S ONE OF YOUR WORKERS?
00:15:00.23\00:15:01.33
YES HE IS ONE OF OUR
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS.
00:15:01.36\00:15:07.60
HE HELD A SERIES OF
MEETINGS AND WHEN THEY
00:15:07.64\00:15:13.74
HOLD MEETINGS THEY GET
THE LOUD SPEAKERS OUT AND THEY
00:15:13.78\00:15:19.88
PUT UP THESE BIG
SPEAKERS AND WHEN HE SPEAKS THE
00:15:19.91\00:15:24.75
WHOLE VILLAGE CAN HEAR IT.
00:15:24.79\00:15:27.02
THEY BROADCAST IT YOU KNOW.
00:15:27.06\00:15:28.59
OVER HERE YOU
WOULDN'T DARE DO THAT YOU KNOW.
00:15:28.62\00:15:32.06
WE HAVE OUR CODES, ZONING LAWS.
00:15:32.09\00:15:35.53
YES.
00:15:35.56\00:15:36.90
ANYWAY THE MESSAGE THAT
HE WAS GIVING WAS GETTING ALL
00:15:36.93\00:15:40.64
THE WAY TO ANOTHER
CHURCH, ANOTHER DENOMINATION.
00:15:40.67\00:15:43.74
OKAY.
00:15:43.77\00:15:44.77
AND THE PRIEST IN THAT
CHURCH WAS REALLY GETTING
00:15:44.81\00:15:47.54
ANGRY BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE
LISTENING TO WHAT JHON WAS
00:15:47.58\00:15:50.58
SAYING OVER THE LOUD SPEAKER.
00:15:50.61\00:15:52.38
YES.
00:15:52.41\00:15:53.38
AND SO HE GOT A
BUNCH OF PEOPLE TOGETHER, A
00:15:53.42\00:15:58.39
DELEGATION TOGETHER,
AND HE CAME OVER TO JHON AND
00:15:58.42\00:16:01.42
SAID WE WANT YOU TO
STOP NOW AND GET OUT.
00:16:01.46\00:16:04.26
THEY WERE SAYING WE
WANT TO HAVE ENOUGH AUTHORITY
00:16:06.33\00:16:12.83
TO CONVINCE YOU TO
QUIT ALL THIS BECAUSE IT WAS
00:16:12.87\00:16:15.57
NOT HELPING THEIR MISSION.
00:16:15.60\00:16:17.41
NO.
00:16:17.44\00:16:18.44
AND SO THAT'S WHAT THEY DID.
00:16:18.47\00:16:20.44
THEY STOPPED AND THEY
GOT OUT AND MOVED TO ANOTHER
00:16:20.48\00:16:23.68
PLACE AND CONTINUED
THEIR MEETINGS IN THAT PLACE.
00:16:23.71\00:16:28.08
WELL THIS OPPOSITION
THAT WAS EVIDENT, RAISED SOME
00:16:28.12\00:16:33.02
CURIOSITY AMONG
SEVERAL OF THE PEOPLE IN THAT
00:16:33.05\00:16:37.73
PRIEST'S CHURCH AND
OTHER PEOPLE WHO HEARD THE NEWS
00:16:37.76\00:16:41.53
AND SO THAT INCREASED HIS CROWD.
00:16:41.56\00:16:44.40
AND SO MANY OF THOSE
PEOPLE WHO CAME TO HEAR
00:16:44.43\00:16:46.77
THE GOSPEL TO HEAR THE
MESSAGE, THE THREE ANGEL'S
00:16:46.80\00:16:49.30
MESSAGES, WERE CONVERTED
AND THEY WERE BAPTIZED.
00:16:49.34\00:16:54.01
OH WOW.
00:16:54.04\00:16:56.11
AND YOU KNOW THIS IS
SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO WERE
00:16:56.14\00:17:01.55
CONVERTED AND HE'S
PRAYING WITH THEM JUST BEFORE HE
00:17:01.58\00:17:06.35
HAS A BAPTISM.
00:17:06.39\00:17:08.29
AND YOU CAN SEE JHON'S FACE.
00:17:08.32\00:17:10.16
HE IS SO HAPPY TO BE
THERE ASSISTING THE PASTOR AS
00:17:10.19\00:17:16.80
THEY BAPTIZE THIS GIRL.
00:17:16.83\00:17:19.20
I CAN TESTIFY THAT
BAPTIZING SOMEBODY INTO
00:17:19.23\00:17:23.57
JESUS CHRIST IS ONE
OF LIFE'S GREATEST JOYS.
00:17:23.61\00:17:27.71
I HOPE THAT MANY
PEOPLE GET TO DO THAT.
00:17:27.74\00:17:30.91
THANK YOU.
00:17:30.95\00:17:33.21
IT LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE
NO TROUBLE FINDING WATER IN
00:17:33.25\00:17:35.45
GABON.
00:17:35.48\00:17:36.52
NO THERE'S LOTS OF
WATER, A LOT OF WATER IN GABON
00:17:36.55\00:17:39.15
YOU KNOW.
00:17:39.19\00:17:39.82
OH MY.
00:17:39.85\00:17:40.82
WELL YOU KNOW WHEN YOU
WERE THERE, HOW FAR AWAY
00:17:40.86\00:17:42.52
FROM LIBREVILLE DID YOU TRAVEL?
00:17:42.56\00:17:47.60
WERE YOU ABLE TO TRAVEL?
00:17:49.70\00:17:51.07
NOWHERE.
00:17:51.10\00:17:52.13
WE DIDN'T BECAUSE OF
WHAT I TOLD YOU THEY SAID THEY
00:17:52.17\00:17:55.14
COULDN'T TAKE US OUT.
00:17:55.17\00:17:56.17
BUT ALSO AS WE ARRIVED
THERE THE PRESIDENT AND
00:17:56.20\00:18:01.01
THE SECRETARY WERE BOTH
NEWLY ELECTED SO THEY WERE
00:18:01.04\00:18:05.45
BRAND NEW IN THEIR POSITIONS.
00:18:05.48\00:18:07.98
WE SAW THEY WERE OVERWHELMED.
00:18:08.02\00:18:10.62
THEY HAD SO MUCH GOING ON.
00:18:10.65\00:18:12.55
YOU KNOW, JUST ONE MONTH
INTO WHERE THEY HAD TAKEN
00:18:12.59\00:18:17.66
THEIR OFFICES.
00:18:21.20\00:18:22.20
SO THEY WERE VERY VERY BUSY.
00:18:22.23\00:18:24.90
BUT WE WERE ABLE TO
SPEND TIME AND BESIDES THE FOUR
00:18:24.93\00:18:27.67
GOSPEL OUTREACH
WORKERS THERE WERE A FEW OTHERS
00:18:27.70\00:18:31.04
WHO CAME IN TO LISTEN.
00:18:31.07\00:18:32.81
AND OF COURSE WE ALWAYS
TALK ABOUT THE ASSURANCE
00:18:32.84\00:18:35.24
OF SALVATION IN JESUS.
00:18:35.28\00:18:36.88
YES.
00:18:36.91\00:18:37.95
THAT'S THE FIRST THING
WE ALWAYS TALK TO THEM ABOUT
00:18:37.98\00:18:40.95
AND MAKE SURE THAT
THEY HAVE ALL UNDERSTOOD OUR
00:18:40.98\00:18:44.62
SALVATION COMES
THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.
00:18:44.65\00:18:47.86
AND SO WE TAUGHT
THEM A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT
00:18:47.89\00:18:52.26
THINGS.
00:18:52.29\00:18:53.29
WE ALSO TAUGHT THEM HOW
TO MARK THEIR BIBLES, TO
00:18:53.33\00:18:57.83
COLOR THEIR BIBLES
WITH DIFFERENT YOU KNOW, ONE
00:18:57.87\00:19:02.20
COLOR FOR PROMISES ANOTHER
COLOR FOR PRAYERS ANOTHER
00:19:02.24\00:19:05.91
COLOR FOR WHAT GOD DOES
TO THE ENEMY, DELIVERANCE
00:19:05.94\00:19:12.25
FROM THE ENEMY.
00:19:12.28\00:19:13.31
I SUSPECT THAT YOU HAVE
A VERY COLORFUL BIBLE RUBY.
00:19:13.35\00:19:17.09
YES IT IS.
00:19:17.12\00:19:18.15
I LEARNED FROM MRS. FALK ENBERG.
00:19:18.19\00:19:20.39
OKAY.
00:19:20.42\00:19:21.39
AND SO YOU'RE PASSING
ON WHAT HAS BLESSED YOU.
00:19:21.42\00:19:24.09
IT'S A VERY
PERSONAL GIFT THAT WAY.
00:19:24.13\00:19:27.40
AND I WAS VERY ENCOURAGED
TO FIND THAT ONE OF THE
00:19:27.40\00:19:30.83
WORKERS, YOU KNOW WE'VE
ONLY BEEN THERE ONCE, THAT
00:19:30.87\00:19:33.30
HE HAD HIS BIBLE MARKED.
00:19:33.34\00:19:36.07
SO WE'RE ENCOURAGING
ALL OF OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:19:36.10\00:19:38.84
WORKERS
EVERYWHERE MARK YOUR BIBLE.
00:19:38.87\00:19:41.24
BECAUSE GOD'S PROMISES ARE TRUE.
00:19:41.28\00:19:45.21
GOD DOES NOT LIE.
00:19:45.25\00:19:46.72
NO HE DOESN'T.
00:19:46.75\00:19:47.72
AND IF WE FULFILL
THE CONDITIONS FOR GOD TO
00:19:47.75\00:19:50.22
ANSWER PRAYERS HE WILL
AND WE NEED TO PRAY MORE.
00:19:50.25\00:19:54.79
WE NEED TO PRAY MORE
THAN WE DO BECAUSE WE HAVE A
00:19:54.82\00:19:57.36
BIG MIGHTY GOD
WHO CAN DO ANYTHING.
00:19:57.39\00:19:59.86
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH HIM.
00:19:59.89\00:20:01.30
THE IMPOSSIBILITY COMES WITH US.
00:20:01.33\00:20:04.27
THERE HAVE BEEN SOME
WHO HAVE TRIED TO HONOR THE
00:20:04.30\00:20:07.10
SCRIPTURES BY KEEPING IT
TOTALLY FREE OF ANY MARKS
00:20:07.14\00:20:11.21
AND I UNDERSTAND THAT
HONOR, BUT NOW THAT THE
00:20:11.24\00:20:12.54
WORD OF GOD HAS BECOME
SO AVAILABLE WITH SO MANY
00:20:12.57\00:20:13.88
COPIES OUT THERE WE
DON'T HAVE TO PRESERVE A UNIQUE
00:20:13.91\00:20:15.21
VELUM THING.
00:20:15.24\00:20:16.24
WE DON'T HAVE TO PRESERVE
IT FROM FINGERPRINTS AND
00:20:16.28\00:20:17.58
STUFF.
00:20:17.61\00:20:18.65
WE CAN MARK IT UP SO
THAT OUR EYE CAN CATCH WHERE
00:20:18.68\00:20:20.52
GOD HAS SPOKEN TO US.
00:20:32.73\00:20:34.20
AND IT SPEAKS TO
OUR NEEDS YOU KNOW.
00:20:34.20\00:20:37.50
JUST TALKING ABOUT
NEEDS, IT MAKES ME THINK I NEED
00:20:39.83\00:20:42.54
TO SHOW THIS LITTLE THING HERE.
00:20:42.57\00:20:44.74
IT'S CALLED A WAPI.
00:20:44.77\00:20:46.57
AND THIS WAS ONE OF
THE THINGS, WE DIDN'T HAVE
00:20:46.61\00:20:48.94
ENOUGH BECAUSE WE DIDN'T
HAVE ROOM IN OUR SUITCASES
00:20:48.98\00:20:51.48
TO TAKE TO EVERYBODY.
00:20:51.51\00:20:52.65
I BET NOT.
00:20:52.68\00:20:53.72
BUT WE TOOK THIS WITH
THE ADDRESS AND WITH PEOPLE
00:20:53.75\00:20:57.69
KNOWING THAT YOU CAN
LOOK UP WAPI ON THE INTERNET.
00:20:57.72\00:21:01.49
IT'S NOT A FISHING
LURE IS THAT RIGHT?
00:21:01.52\00:21:03.19
THIS IS NOT.
00:21:03.22\00:21:04.13
THIS IS TO PASTEURIZE WATER.
00:21:04.16\00:21:08.06
AND SO YOU START WITH THE
LITTLE METAL THING DOWN AT
00:21:08.10\00:21:12.90
THE BOTTOM, THEN YOU
HOOK IT UP OVER THE KETTLE AND
00:21:12.93\00:21:17.77
SO WHEN THIS WAX MELTS
DOWN TO THE BOTTOM THEN
00:21:17.81\00:21:23.58
YOU KNOW THAT YOUR WATER
IS PASTEURIZED AND FREE OF
00:21:23.61\00:21:26.75
BACTERIA.
00:21:26.78\00:21:27.62
THAT'S ENOUGH
HEAT TO KILL THE GERMS.
00:21:27.65\00:21:29.58
SO IT'S FORMULATED SO
THAT IT IS A THERMOMETER FOR
00:21:29.62\00:21:33.49
EXACTLY THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE.
00:21:33.52\00:21:34.86
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:21:34.89\00:21:36.06
AND IT'S TO HELP
PURIFY WATER, MAKE IT
00:21:36.09\00:21:38.33
PASTEURIZED.
00:21:38.36\00:21:39.16
YES, RIGHT.
00:21:39.19\00:21:40.26
AND WE HAVE ENCOURAGED
OUR PEOPLE THAT THEY USE THIS
00:21:40.30\00:21:43.13
BECAUSE IT WILL
HELP THEM TO STAY WELL.
00:21:43.16\00:21:45.53
IS WATER CONTAMINATION AN ISSUE?
00:21:45.57\00:21:50.81
EVERYWHERE.
00:21:50.84\00:21:52.07
EVERYWHERE.
00:21:52.11\00:21:53.31
EVERYWHERE.
00:21:53.34\00:21:54.58
AND SO THIS WAY IT'S
SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN
00:21:54.61\00:21:59.68
TAKE WHERE THEY'RE
GOING TO GIVE THE GOSPEL WAY
00:21:59.71\00:22:02.02
OUT.
00:22:02.05\00:22:02.95
AND BY THE WAY, I
WOULD LIKE TO SAY THIS.
00:22:02.98\00:22:05.25
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
DISCOURAGES, ONE OF THE
00:22:05.29\00:22:08.79
THINGS WE NEED TO PRAY
FOR GABON BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS
00:22:08.82\00:22:14.00
FLOCKING TO THE
CITIES YOU KNOW LIKE HERE.
00:22:14.00\00:22:17.53
WHOSE OUT DOING THE FARM WORK.
00:22:17.57\00:22:19.13
WHOSE OUT DOING ALL OF
THESE OTHER THINGS WHERE
00:22:19.17\00:22:22.07
FOOD COMES FROM.
00:22:22.10\00:22:24.07
AND SO OFTEN TIMES OUR
YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE A HARD
00:22:24.11\00:22:27.84
TIME WANTING TO GO
OUT IN THE BUSH TO WORK.
00:22:27.88\00:22:33.35
SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE
NEED TO PRAY FOR GABON IS
00:22:33.38\00:22:36.58
THAT THEY WILL FIND PEOPLE
WHO ARE WILLING THEMSELVES
00:22:36.62\00:22:41.36
TO BE TRUE MISSIONARIES
AND TO BE ABLE TO GO TO
00:22:41.39\00:22:44.93
THESE PLACES WHERE LIFE
IS NOT AS EASY AS IN THE
00:22:44.96\00:22:48.73
CITY.
00:22:48.76\00:22:50.07
I BET IT'S NOT.
00:22:50.10\00:22:51.13
IF YOU HAVE TO SURVIVE
BY BOILING YOUR WATER, MAYBE
00:22:51.17\00:22:54.70
THEY DO THAT IN SOME
CITIES AS WELL, BUT THAT
00:22:54.74\00:22:58.07
PRIMITIVE LIVING IS A
HARDSHIP FOR THE BODY,
00:22:58.11\00:23:03.11
SOMETIMES FOR THE
SPIRIT BUT WHEN GOD CALLS YOU
00:23:03.14\00:23:05.31
THERE, THERE IS A LIGHT
THAT GOES WITH YOU ISN'T
00:23:05.35\00:23:10.15
THERE.
00:23:10.19\00:23:10.82
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:23:10.85\00:23:11.85
I JUST WANT TO MENTION
AGAIN TO OUR LISTENERS,
00:23:11.89\00:23:13.82
REMEMBER THIS
WORK NEEDS TO GROW.
00:23:13.86\00:23:18.23
YOU CAN BE A PART.
00:23:18.26\00:23:19.46
YOU CAN PRAY FOR IT,
YOU CAN DONATE TO IT.
00:23:19.49\00:23:21.43
AND REMEMBER THAT
YOUR DONATIONS NEED TO GO
00:23:21.46\00:23:25.90
THROUGH GOSPEL OUTREACH CANADA.
00:23:25.93\00:23:28.60
AND YOU'LL SEE THE ADDRESS
AND THE CONTACT NUMBERS ON
00:23:28.64\00:23:32.64
YOUR SCREEN SO YOU CAN DO THAT.
00:23:32.67\00:23:34.78
DON'T FORGET HOW TO
HELP SUPPORT THIS WORK.
00:23:34.81\00:23:38.45
SO THESE CHURCHES ARE
SCATTERED AROUND GABON
00:23:41.85\00:23:45.69
SOME OF THEM EMPTY
BECAUSE NOBODY COULD SUSTAIN THE
00:23:45.72\00:23:50.26
WORK THERE.
00:23:50.29\00:23:51.53
NOBODY COULD CONTINUE TO LEAD.
00:23:51.56\00:23:53.03
AND SOME OF OUR GOSPEL
WORKERS, WHAT DID YOU SAY,
00:23:53.06\00:23:56.36
FOUR THAT ARE THERE RIGHT NOW?
00:23:56.40\00:23:57.70
SOME OF THEM ARE NEAR THOSE?
00:23:57.73\00:24:00.30
ARE THEY TRYING TO
USE THOSE FACILITIES OR DO
00:24:00.34\00:24:03.30
THEY HAVE TO FOCUS ELSEWHERE?
00:24:03.34\00:24:06.68
WELL SOMETIMES OLE WE
HAVE NEGLECTED TO TEACH THESE
00:24:06.71\00:24:11.38
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS
HOW TO TRAIN LOCAL CHURCH
00:24:11.41\00:24:14.78
ELDERS, LOCAL
LEADERSHIP SO THAT WHEN THEY ARE
00:24:14.82\00:24:18.79
MOVED THE WORK
CONTINUES ON IN THAT CHURCH.
00:24:18.82\00:24:23.46
SO THAT'S THE NEXT
CHALLENGE IS TO GIVE THEM
00:24:23.49\00:24:25.99
SOME LEADERSHIP, HOW
TO BUILD LEADERSHIP INTO
00:24:26.03\00:24:30.33
THEIR OWN CONGREGATIONS.
00:24:30.37\00:24:32.33
HERE IN NORTH AMERICA
WE HAVE CHURCHES THAT HAVE
00:24:32.37\00:24:36.14
HAD TO HOLE IN OR CLOSE
BECAUSE THE DEMOGRAPHICS
00:24:36.17\00:24:40.78
CHANGE.
00:24:40.81\00:24:41.84
WHERE FARMING USED TO BE
LABOR INTENSIVE NOW IT CAN
00:24:41.88\00:24:44.38
BE DONE WITH MONSTER MACHINES.
00:24:44.41\00:24:45.41
IS THERE SOME OF THAT
DEMOGRAPHIC MOTION THAT
00:24:45.45\00:24:46.78
YOU DESCRIBED IN GABON
WHERE YOU MIGHT HAVE BUILT
00:24:46.82\00:24:48.12
A CHURCH FOR A POPULATION
THAT WAS THERE BUT THE
00:24:48.15\00:24:49.45
POPULATION HAS MOVED AWAY?
00:24:49.48\00:24:49.98
IS THAT PART OF IT?
00:24:50.02\00:24:50.69
THAT'S A GREAT POSSIBILITY.
00:24:50.72\00:24:51.75
THESE KIDS THAT ARE BORN
OUT IN THE JUNGLE AND THEY
00:24:51.79\00:24:52.79
GROW UP THEY GO TO
SCHOOL AND THEN THEY DISCOVER
00:24:52.82\00:24:53.82
THAT THERE IS A BETTER
LIFE IN THE CITY AND SO
00:24:53.86\00:24:55.49
THEY LEAVE MOM AND DAD
AND THE FARM AND THEY GO TO
00:24:55.52\00:24:56.83
THE CITY AND THEY
LEARN HOW TO BECOME "I T"
00:24:56.86\00:24:58.16
PEOPLE.
00:24:58.19\00:24:59.26
THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO
WHAT'S HAPPENED RIGHT HERE
00:24:59.29\00:25:00.23
IN AMERICA YOU KNOW.
00:25:00.26\00:25:01.23
AND WITH THAT DEMOGRAPHIC
CHANGE I'M SURE IT COMES
00:25:01.26\00:25:02.33
WITH ALL THE SAME PROBLEMS
THAT THE WORLD HAS ALWAYS
00:25:02.36\00:25:03.57
EXPERIENCED.
00:25:03.60\00:25:04.53
RURAL LIVING CAN BE
WITH GOD OR WITH NATURE.
00:25:04.57\00:25:05.57
CITY DWELLING CAN BE
SURROUNDED BY ALL KINDS OF
00:25:05.60\00:25:06.90
INFLUENCES AND
IT'S NOT ALWAYS GOOD.
00:25:06.94\00:25:08.24
THIS MUST BE A
CONSTANT PROBLEM IN AFRICA THESE
00:25:08.27\00:25:09.57
DAYS.
00:25:09.60\00:25:10.51
LET'S DO PRAY THAT
WHEREVER THE POPULATION,
00:25:10.54\00:25:11.54
WHERE THE FIELD IS RIPE
FOR HARVEST WE WILL HAVE
00:25:11.57\00:25:16.71
PEOPLE THERE WHO
CAN SHARE THE GOOD NEWS.
00:25:22.75\00:25:24.75
SO TELL ME ONE
LAST STORY FROM GABON.
00:25:24.79\00:25:26.39
WELL OUR FOURTH GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKER HIS NAME
00:25:26.42\00:25:27.76
IS HUEG GOMAS.
00:25:27.79\00:25:28.82
AND HUEG WAS BORN IN
1974 INTO A CATHOLIC FAMILY.
00:25:28.86\00:25:30.39
CATHOLIC, CATHOLICISM
IS VERY PREVALENT IN GABON.
00:25:30.43\00:25:36.50
HE FINISHED SECONDARY
SCHOOL AND GRADUATED WITH
00:25:36.53\00:25:43.00
A BACHELORS DEGREE.
00:25:43.04\00:25:45.81
SO HE IS PROBABLY MORE
EDUCATED THAN THE OTHER
00:25:45.84\00:25:50.91
THREE GUYS.
00:25:54.22\00:25:56.02
SO IN 15 SECONDS TELL
US HOW HE WRAPPED UP HIS
00:25:56.05\00:26:01.19
STORY.
00:26:06.36\00:26:07.60
WELL HE GOT THREE NEW
GROUPS STARTED AND HE IS
00:26:07.66\00:26:10.43
TEACHING THEM ABOUT
JESUS AND HOW TO PRAY, PRAYER
00:26:10.47\00:26:15.50
GROUPS AND THEY ARE GOING
FROM DOOR TO DOOR STUDYING
00:26:48.64\00:26:53.71
IN PEOPLES HOMES,
HOME BIBLE STUDIES.
00:26:57.55\00:27:00.45
THIS IS HIS METHOD
OF TAKING THE GOSPEL.
00:27:00.48\00:27:03.62
ESPECIALLY AGAIN HE
SAID HE WISHED HE HAD A
00:27:03.65\00:27:07.86
MOTORCYCLE.
00:27:07.89\00:27:08.52
OH MY.
00:27:08.56\00:27:09.32
MY FRIENDS
LISTEN TO THOSE NEEDS.
00:27:09.36\00:27:12.19
LISTEN TO GOD'S
VOICE IN YOUR HEART.
00:27:12.23\00:27:15.03
GIVE WHERE GOD
TELLS YOU TO GIVE.
00:27:15.06\00:27:16.67
[CLOSING MUSIC]
00:27:16.70\00:27:18.90
