WELCOME TO
"ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS."
00:00:34.76\00:00:35.83
I'M YOUR HOST TODAY
LONNIE MELASHENKO AND WE'RE JUST
00:00:35.86\00:00:38.10
DELIGHTED YOU'RE HERE
BECAUSE I'M SO EXCITED
00:00:38.13\00:00:39.40
ABOUT OUR INTERVIEWS TODAY.
00:00:39.43\00:00:41.47
YOU KNOW WAY BACK WHEN,
I WAS JUST READING IN MY
00:00:41.50\00:00:44.94
DEVOTIONAL THE OTHER
DAY, WHEN JESUS WAS TAKEN TO
00:00:44.97\00:00:47.14
CALVARY REMEMBER HE
COULD NOT CARRY HIS CROSS.
00:00:47.18\00:00:49.44
AND THERE HAPPENED
TO BE SOMEONE WHO WAS AN
00:00:49.48\00:00:54.08
AFRICAN, HAPPENED TO BE
SIMON FROM CYRENE, AND HE
00:00:54.12\00:00:56.52
WAS COMPELLED TO
LIFT UP JESUS' CROSS.
00:00:56.55\00:00:58.89
AND OF COURSE PHILIP WHEN
HE MET THE ETHIOPIAN LATER
00:00:58.92\00:01:03.16
AND THE GOSPEL WENT
TO THE VERY TOP LEVELS OF
00:01:03.19\00:01:07.50
GOVERNMENT IN AFRICA.
00:01:07.50\00:01:08.80
AFRICA WAS ONE OF THE
VERY FIRST PLACES TO RECEIVE
00:01:08.83\00:01:12.37
THE GOSPEL MESSAGE.
00:01:12.40\00:01:13.74
AND OUR GUESTS TODAY ARE
FROM THAT AREA WHERE THEY
00:01:13.77\00:01:17.34
ARE IN CHARGE OF MINISTRY.
00:01:17.37\00:01:18.81
WE'RE JUST DELIGHTED
TO HAVE YOU BOTH GLEN AND
00:01:18.84\00:01:21.34
KAREN WINTERMEYER.
00:01:21.38\00:01:22.38
YOU REPRESENT A NUMBER
OF DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.
00:01:22.41\00:01:26.15
MAYBE WE CAN GET THAT
MAP AND LET'S JUST TAKE A
00:01:26.18\00:01:30.02
QUICK LOOK BECAUSE GUINEA,
AND YOU'RE PARTICULARLY IN
00:01:30.05\00:01:32.69
SOUTH GUINEA.
00:01:32.72\00:01:34.06
WOULD YOU POINT TO THAT
ON THIS LITTLE MAP HERE.
00:01:34.09\00:01:35.62
PUT A BIG CIRCLE
AROUND ROUGHLY THE AREA.
00:01:35.66\00:01:38.09
GAMBIA, GUINEA-BISSAU,
GUINEA, SIERRA LEONE,
00:01:38.13\00:01:41.26
LIBERIA, BALI.
00:01:41.30\00:01:44.97
SO THIS IS A UNIQUE
PLACE FOR OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:01:45.00\00:01:50.17
VOLUNTEERS, OF WHICH YOU
ARE IN CHARGE OF THEM, ARE
00:01:50.21\00:01:54.51
MINISTERING IN A UNIQUE
WAY IN THIS 10/40 WINDOW
00:01:54.54\00:01:57.51
WHERE MANY OF THOSE
PEOPLE HAVE NEVER EVEN HEARD THE
00:01:57.55\00:02:00.15
NAME OF JESUS.
00:02:00.18\00:02:01.18
SO LET'S TALK A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT HOW DID YOU GET
00:02:01.22\00:02:07.42
INVOLVED IN WORKING
IN GUINEA PARTICULARLY?
00:02:07.46\00:02:10.36
WELL YOU KNOW I REALLY
DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO
00:02:10.39\00:02:13.19
THAT QUESTION.
00:02:13.23\00:02:14.73
MISSIONS HAS BEEN A
PART OF MY LIFE EVER SINCE I
00:02:14.76\00:02:18.20
WAS BORN.
00:02:18.23\00:02:19.63
MY MOM TALKED ABOUT
MISSIONS, TALKED ABOUT
00:02:19.67\00:02:22.27
WHAT SHE WANTED ME TO
BE, ENCOURAGED ME THROUGH THE
00:02:22.30\00:02:25.27
MINISTRY OR DOCTOR.
00:02:25.31\00:02:28.58
SO I ENDED UP WITH KIND
OF A POTPOURRI OF ACTIVITIES
00:02:28.61\00:02:31.45
THROUGHOUT THE YEARS IN
HEALTH EDUCATION AND THEN
00:02:31.48\00:02:35.25
WITH ADVENTIST
FRONTIER MISSIONS.
00:02:35.28\00:02:37.42
AND NOW I'M WITH GOSPEL
OUTREACH INTERNATIONAL AND
00:02:37.45\00:02:41.26
GOSPEL OUTREACH CANADA.
00:02:41.29\00:02:43.02
SO WHAT WAS YOUR
CAREER BEFORE THIS PARTICULAR
00:02:43.06\00:02:45.66
INTEREST?
00:02:45.69\00:02:46.70
YOU GREW UP IN MINNESOTA,
WENT TO UNION COLLEGE.
00:02:46.73\00:02:50.03
WHAT WAS YOUR MAJOR?
00:02:50.07\00:02:51.23
MY MAJOR WAS THEOLOGY.
00:02:51.27\00:02:52.37
THEOLOGY.
00:02:52.40\00:02:53.34
AND THEN I WENT TO
GRADUATE SCHOOL AT LOMA
00:02:53.37\00:02:58.51
LINDA AND DID PUBLIC
HEALTH, COMMUNITY HEALTH
00:02:58.54\00:03:00.78
EDUCATION.
00:03:00.81\00:03:01.84
NOW YOU'VE GOT SOME
TOOLS TO BECOME A MISSIONARY.
00:03:01.88\00:03:04.05
SO WE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE
MISSIONARIES IT JUST NEVER
00:03:04.08\00:03:08.68
HAPPENED.
00:03:08.72\00:03:09.68
WE GREW UP, I HAD A
FAMILY, RAISED THEM AND
00:03:09.72\00:03:12.65
THEN WE ONE DAY GOT A
CALL TO GO AND BE ADMINISTRATOR
00:03:12.69\00:03:17.76
OF AN ORPHANAGE.
00:03:19.79\00:03:21.06
WHERE WAS THAT?
00:03:21.10\00:03:21.93
THAT WAS IN THE
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.
00:03:21.96\00:03:23.47
WOW.
00:03:23.50\00:03:24.53
SO WE'RE NOW IN
FOREIGN TERRITORY AND SOMETHING
00:03:24.57\00:03:27.44
BRAND NEW.
00:03:27.47\00:03:28.10
YES.
00:03:28.14\00:03:28.80
I KNEW NO SPANISH.
00:03:28.84\00:03:29.54
I BARELY KNEW HOW TO SAY "NO."
00:03:29.57\00:03:31.17
WELL TELL US A
LITTLE BIT KAREN ABOUT EMIL.
00:03:31.21\00:03:36.91
EMIL IS A VERY
INTERESTING STORY.
00:03:36.95\00:03:42.02
IT STARTED WITH ONE OF
OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS
00:03:44.79\00:03:49.12
WHO LIVED IN A
VILLAGE AND HE DIDN'T WANT HIS
00:03:49.16\00:03:52.19
CHILDREN TO GO
TO A PUBLIC SCHOOL.
00:03:52.23\00:03:54.13
AND WHERE WAS THIS NOW?
00:03:54.20\00:03:55.53
THIS IS IN GUINEA.
00:03:55.56\00:03:56.33
IN GUINEA.
00:03:56.36\00:03:57.07
WE'RE TALKING IN AFRICA.
00:03:57.10\00:03:58.10
IN SOUTHEAST PART OF GUINEA.
00:03:58.13\00:03:59.83
OKAY.
00:03:59.87\00:04:00.80
WAY DEEP IN THE
JUNGLE OF THE COUNTRY.
00:04:00.84\00:04:04.21
BUT HE WENT TO PUBLIC
SCHOOL AND HE ASKED THE
00:04:04.24\00:04:07.28
PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER
WHETHER HE WOULDN'T COME
00:04:07.31\00:04:09.38
SOMETIMES TO MAKE SURE
THE KIDS ARE LEARNING WHAT
00:04:09.41\00:04:13.01
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO.
00:04:13.05\00:04:15.02
SURE HE SAID, HE'D
BE WILLING TO DO THAT.
00:04:15.05\00:04:17.65
WELL IN THE PROCESS HE
SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT DO YOU
00:04:17.69\00:04:20.36
DO FOR A LIVING, THE
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER.
00:04:20.39\00:04:23.09
AND WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE?
00:04:23.12\00:04:24.43
AND SO THE GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKER SHARED.
00:04:24.46\00:04:27.03
WELL THE PUBLIC
SCHOOL TEACHER ACCEPTED THE
00:04:27.03\00:04:31.10
WONDERFUL TRUTH IN THE
BIBLE AND WAS BAPTIZED.
00:04:31.13\00:04:34.64
BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL.
00:04:34.67\00:04:36.00
NOW ONE OF THE CHALLENGES
OF GOSPEL OUTREACH IS TO
00:04:36.04\00:04:40.48
ESPECIALLY GO AND
REACH INTO THAT 10/40 WINDOW
00:04:40.51\00:04:43.85
WHICH IS WHERE 97
PERCENT OF THE POPULATION HAVE
00:04:43.88\00:04:46.75
NEVER EVEN HEARD
OF THE NAME OF JESUS.
00:04:46.78\00:04:49.45
AND IT'S ILLEGAL AND
WE'RE AREN'T ABLE TO EVANGELIZE
00:04:49.48\00:04:53.25
OR PROSELYTIZE IN
SOME OF THOSE AREAS.
00:04:53.29\00:04:55.72
SO WHAT THEN WAS THE
RESULT OF THIS PERSON
00:04:55.76\00:04:58.46
BEING BAPTIZED?
00:04:58.49\00:05:00.83
WELL IT JUST SO
HAPPENED THAT THERE WAS ONLY ONE
00:05:00.86\00:05:05.23
ADVENTIST
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN THE WHOLE
00:05:05.27\00:05:07.37
COUNTRY.
00:05:07.40\00:05:08.77
AND IT WAS FAR AWAY
IN THE CAPITAL CITY.
00:05:08.80\00:05:12.51
SO THEY DECIDED TO BUILD
A SMALL ONE, VERY SMALL, A
00:05:12.54\00:05:16.81
LITTLE SCHOOL.
00:05:16.85\00:05:17.75
A LITTLE
ELEMENTARY ADVENTIST SCHOOL IN
00:05:17.78\00:05:21.08
SOUTHEAST GUINEA.
00:05:21.12\00:05:23.22
BUT THEY NEEDED A
PRINCIPAL AND TEACHER.
00:05:23.25\00:05:27.72
WELL THIS NEWLY
CONVERTED TEACHER NOW BECAME THE
00:05:27.76\00:05:32.69
PRINCIPAL AND THE TEACHER THERE.
00:05:32.73\00:05:34.46
HOW ABOUT THAT.
00:05:34.46\00:05:36.53
SO WHERE DOES THIS
WITCH COME INTO PLAY?
00:05:37.57\00:05:42.30
WELL THIS TEACHER, YOU
KNOW TEACHERS GET SUMMER
00:05:42.34\00:05:45.97
VACATION.
00:05:46.01\00:05:46.94
THAT'S THEIR VACATION TIME.
00:05:46.98\00:05:48.94
WELL HE DECIDED TO TAKE
HIS VACATION TIME AND GO
00:05:48.98\00:05:51.98
AROUND THE SCHOOL AND
MEET THE STUDENTS AND THE
00:05:52.01\00:05:57.49
PARENTS.
00:05:57.52\00:05:59.32
SO HE DID THAT
VISITING AND SOME OF THE PARENTS
00:05:59.35\00:06:02.69
WOULD ASK HIM, WHAT DO
YOU BELIEVE, WHY DO YOU
00:06:02.72\00:06:05.99
BELIEVE THAT?
00:06:06.03\00:06:07.66
AND SEVERAL FAMILIES
WERE BAPTIZED AND BECAME
00:06:07.73\00:06:10.33
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS.
00:06:10.37\00:06:11.70
WHAT IS THE PREVAILING
RELIGION THERE AND WAS HE
00:06:11.73\00:06:14.27
PERMITTED TO DO THIS OR
BECAUSE THEY ASKED HIM HE
00:06:14.30\00:06:16.91
COULD NOW TALK WITH THEM?
00:06:16.94\00:06:18.77
OH HE IS
PERMITTED TO DO THAT THERE.
00:06:18.81\00:06:21.58
THEY HAVE MUSLIMS
THERE BUT NOT A LOT.
00:06:21.61\00:06:24.15
THEY HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE
THAT JUST BELIEVE NOTHING.
00:06:24.18\00:06:29.45
ANIMISM IS A BIG
THING IN THEIR COUNTRY.
00:06:29.48\00:06:31.99
IN PARTS.
00:06:32.02\00:06:34.29
THEY WORSHIP STICKS AND
STONES AND STRINGS AND ALL
00:06:34.32\00:06:39.19
DIFFERENT KINDS OF
THINGS, THE ANIMALS.
00:06:39.23\00:06:41.26
SO IT'S A WHOLE NEW
WORLD THAT OPENS UP WHEN THEY
00:06:43.80\00:06:47.14
COME TO FIND OUT ABOUT A
JESUS AND ABOUT ANGELS AND
00:06:47.17\00:06:51.74
ABOUT THE GOOD NEWS OF
THE GOSPEL AND THEY DON'T HAVE
00:06:51.77\00:06:54.04
TO FEAR WITH THEIR FAITH.
00:06:54.08\00:06:55.91
AMEN.
00:06:55.94\00:06:56.58
THEY LOVE IT.
00:06:56.61\00:06:57.61
AND THIS LITTLE SCHOOL
STARTED WITH JUST A FEW
00:06:57.65\00:06:59.91
ROOMS.
00:06:59.95\00:07:01.22
THEY ADDED ON AND ON.
00:07:01.25\00:07:02.42
AT FIRST THEY HAD
TEN STUDENTS ONLY.
00:07:02.45\00:07:05.19
TODAY, WE WERE JUST THERE
IN JANUARY, THEY HAVE OVER
00:07:05.22\00:07:09.82
200 STUDENTS.
00:07:09.86\00:07:11.29
WOW.
00:07:11.33\00:07:12.39
PRAISE GOD.
00:07:12.43\00:07:13.43
AND THEY CAN TEACH
ABOUT THE WONDERFUL GOOD NEWS
00:07:13.46\00:07:16.00
ABOUT JESUS AND
WHAT HE HAS DONE.
00:07:16.03\00:07:17.43
SO THE LOCAL
LEADERSHIP AND THE GOVERNMENT IS
00:07:17.47\00:07:19.50
HAPPY TO HAVE
EDUCATION TAKING PLACE.
00:07:19.53\00:07:21.67
YES.
00:07:21.70\00:07:22.67
OTHERWISE SOME OF THEM
MIGHT NOT EVEN GET TO GO
00:07:22.70\00:07:24.17
TO A SCHOOL.
00:07:24.21\00:07:24.84
YES.
00:07:24.87\00:07:26.94
AND SO THE TEACHER IN
THE PROCESS OF HIS VISITING
00:07:27.61\00:07:30.58
DECIDED HE IS GOING TO
VISIT IN THE NEXT VILLAGE.
00:07:30.61\00:07:32.95
HE KNEW HIS OLDEST
BROTHER LIVED THERE.
00:07:32.98\00:07:35.92
HIS OLDEST BROTHER IS
A PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER.
00:07:35.95\00:07:39.22
AND THE TWO OF THEM WERE
TALKING AND HE SHARED WITH
00:07:39.25\00:07:42.46
HIS OLDEST
BROTHER WHAT HE BELIEVED.
00:07:42.49\00:07:44.99
AND HE ACCEPTS THE TRUTH.
00:07:45.03\00:07:46.56
THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL.
00:07:46.59\00:07:47.86
THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL.
00:07:47.86\00:07:49.56
WOW.
00:07:49.60\00:07:50.63
SO THEY DECIDE AND TALK
AND SAY WE REALLY WANT TO
00:07:50.67\00:07:54.77
SHARE THIS WITH OUR
FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHERE WE GREW
00:07:54.80\00:07:57.81
UP.
00:07:57.84\00:07:58.81
THEY GREW UP IN THE
FAR NORTH IN MOUNTAINS.
00:07:58.84\00:08:04.35
AND SO I HAVE A FEW
PICTURES HERE THAT I'D
00:08:04.38\00:08:09.15
LIKE YOU TO SHOW.
00:08:09.18\00:08:11.05
THIS IS FELIX THE GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKER WHO TAUGHT
00:08:11.09\00:08:16.93
HIS CHILDREN AND BECAME
A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST.
00:08:16.96\00:08:20.83
AND THIS IS DANIEL THE
TEACHER WHO WENT AROUND
00:08:20.86\00:08:25.87
HIS SCHOOL AND WENT
TO HIS BROTHER'S VILLAGE.
00:08:28.40\00:08:30.57
AND THIS IS THE
SCHOOL WE JUST TALKED ABOUT.
00:08:30.61\00:08:35.61
WOW.
00:08:35.64\00:08:36.38
THAT IS A FINE LOOKING FACILITY.
00:08:36.41\00:08:38.45
NOW WHO AND HOW DID
THEY AFFORD TO BUILD THAT?
00:08:38.48\00:08:41.58
SOMEONE DONATED SOME
MONEY AND THEY STARTED WITH JUST
00:08:41.62\00:08:44.79
A FEW ROOMS.
00:08:44.82\00:08:46.19
AND AS THEY HAD THE
MONEY THEY WOULD ADD ON TO IT.
00:08:46.22\00:08:49.32
HERE'S DANIEL AND HE WAS
SHOWING US THE SCHOOL JUST
00:08:49.36\00:08:52.93
IN JANUARY.
00:08:52.96\00:08:53.86
AND IS THAT IN
FRENCH THERE, ADVENTISTE?
00:08:53.90\00:08:56.10
YES, IN FRENCH.
00:08:56.13\00:08:57.67
SO THAT'S THE SCHOOL
THAT STARTED FROM 10 LITTLE
00:08:57.70\00:09:01.10
STUDENTS TO OVER 200 TODAY.
00:09:01.14\00:09:03.00
TWO HUNDRED.
00:09:03.04\00:09:04.64
YES.
00:09:04.67\00:09:05.64
AND THEY GO, WHAT IS
IT KAREN, K THROUGH 12?
00:09:05.67\00:09:09.01
YES.
00:09:09.04\00:09:09.98
OH SO THEY'RE ALMOST
TEACHING PRE COLLEGE.
00:09:10.01\00:09:11.51
YES.
00:09:11.55\00:09:12.81
AND HOW MANY
FACULTY DO THEY HAVE?
00:09:12.85\00:09:16.05
I CAN'T TELL YOU.
00:09:16.08\00:09:17.02
THEY HAVE QUITE A
FEW TEACHERS THERE NOW.
00:09:17.05\00:09:19.92
BUT IN TALKING ABOUT
WHERE THEY WANTED TO GO TO THEIR
00:09:19.95\00:09:23.02
FAMILY, THEIR FAMILY
LIVES IN THE NORTH IN THE
00:09:23.06\00:09:26.26
MOUNTAINS I TOLD YOU.
00:09:26.29\00:09:28.23
THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE
ROADS LIKE THIS THERE.
00:09:28.26\00:09:32.47
THIS IS ONE OF
THE ROADS WE DROVE ON.
00:09:32.50\00:09:34.07
I WAS GOING TO
SAY IS THIS A ROAD?
00:09:34.10\00:09:35.54
(LAUGHTER) THERE
ARE NO ROADS THERE.
00:09:35.57\00:09:38.34
YOU CANNOT EVEN
GO WITH A MOTORCYCLE.
00:09:38.37\00:09:39.67
IT IS SO STEEP AND SO
UP DOWN THERE ARE NO ROADS.
00:09:39.71\00:09:41.31
SO ACCESS IS BY WALKING.
00:09:41.34\00:09:42.01
ONLY BY WALKING.
00:09:42.04\00:09:42.78
IS THAT RIGHT, IN THE MOUNTAINS.
00:09:42.81\00:09:44.01
AND IT'S NOT AN HOUR JOURNEY.
00:09:44.05\00:09:45.01
OKAY NOW TELL US
WHAT HAPPENED WHEN YOU GOT
00:09:45.05\00:09:50.59
THERE.
00:09:50.62\00:09:54.49
WE DIDN'T GO TO THAT PLACE.
00:09:54.52\00:09:55.86
IT WAS TOO FAR.
00:09:55.89\00:09:57.13
BUT THEY WERE TELLING
US THE STORY ABOUT THIS
00:09:57.16\00:09:59.13
PLACE.
00:09:59.16\00:09:59.79
OH PLEASE TELL US.
00:09:59.83\00:10:00.50
THE TWO BROTHERS WENT THERE.
00:10:00.53\00:10:01.46
AND THEY WANTED TO
SHARE WITH THEIR FAMILY AND
00:10:01.50\00:10:06.33
FRIENDS.
00:10:06.37\00:10:07.74
SO THEY DID AND WHEN THEY
WENT THERE THEY PRAYED AND
00:10:07.77\00:10:12.84
FASTED FOR TWO DAYS.
00:10:20.72\00:10:24.25
WHY?
00:10:24.29\00:10:26.35
IT'S BECAUSE THEY GREW UP THERE.
00:10:27.12\00:10:30.56
THEY KNEW ALL OF THESE
PEOPLE BELIEVED JUST LIKE
00:10:30.59\00:10:34.46
THEY USED TO BELIEVE.
00:10:34.50\00:10:35.50
ANIMISTS?
00:10:35.53\00:10:36.16
ANIMISTS.
00:10:36.20\00:10:37.17
THEY BELIEVED IN
SPIRITS AND IN THE DEVIL WORSHIP
00:10:37.20\00:10:40.74
AND WITCH CRAFT AND ALL OF THAT.
00:10:40.77\00:10:43.84
WE CAN HARDLY EVEN GET
OUR MINDS AROUND THAT HERE IN
00:10:43.87\00:10:46.61
OUR WESTERN WORLD
AND OUR WESTERN SOCIETY.
00:10:46.64\00:10:49.21
BUT THIS WAS STILL
TAKING PLACE VERY RECENTLY.
00:10:49.24\00:10:53.25
YES.
00:10:53.28\00:10:54.28
AND THEY WERE PRAYING
ABOUT GOING UP THERE TO
00:10:54.32\00:10:55.35
TRY AND PLANT SOME SEEDS
FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
00:10:55.38\00:10:59.02
PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS
BELIEVED THAT THERE.
00:10:59.05\00:11:01.39
SO WHAT DID THEY DO
AND HOW DID THEY GET ANY
00:11:01.42\00:11:03.16
HEARING FROM ANYBODY?
00:11:03.19\00:11:04.43
WELL I'LL JUST TELL
YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE
00:11:04.46\00:11:06.23
PEOPLE THERE.
00:11:06.26\00:11:07.00
THEY SURVIVE BY HUNTING ANIMALS.
00:11:07.03\00:11:09.16
THAT'S THE WAY THEY LIVE.
00:11:09.20\00:11:11.70
AND THEY KNEW THAT
THEY'VE ALWAYS CLAIMED THAT THE
00:11:11.73\00:11:16.27
DEVIL HIMSELF COMES
TO THEIR CELEBRATIONS.
00:11:16.30\00:11:18.84
WOW.
00:11:18.87\00:11:20.11
I MEAN IT IS SERIOUS.
00:11:20.14\00:11:23.35
SO THAT'S WHY
THEY PRAYED AND FASTED.
00:11:23.38\00:11:25.35
AND HE REALLY,
TEACHER DANIEL, REALLY HAD HIS
00:11:25.38\00:11:30.22
DOUBTS THAT HIS YOUNGEST
BROTHER WOULD EVEN ACCEPT
00:11:30.25\00:11:33.25
WHAT HE WAS GOING TO
SHARE WITH HIM BECAUSE HE WAS
00:11:33.29\00:11:38.76
KNOWN AS THE BIG,
BIG, BIG, BIG CHIEF THERE.
00:11:38.79\00:11:42.80
I MEAN HE IS VERY
INFLUENTIAL WITH THE
00:11:42.83\00:11:44.80
PEOPLE.
00:11:44.83\00:11:45.73
AND THE PEOPLE
REALLY RESPECT HIM THERE.
00:11:45.77\00:11:48.00
SO THEY REALLY NEEDED TO PRAY.
00:11:48.04\00:11:53.11
WELL WHEN THEY GOT
THERE FINALLY WHAT HAPPENED?
00:11:55.38\00:11:59.51
WELL HE STARTED READING
AND SHARING FROM HIS BIBLE
00:11:59.55\00:12:06.49
WITH HIS YOUNGEST BROTHER.
00:12:06.52\00:12:07.82
DOOR TO DOOR?
00:12:07.86\00:12:09.26
NO IN HIS HOME, IN THE
YOUNGEST BROTHER'S HOME.
00:12:09.29\00:12:12.16
OKAY.
00:12:12.19\00:12:13.63
JUST TO HIS FAMILY AND HIS WIFE.
00:12:13.66\00:12:15.43
SO THEN TO HIS
SURPRISE THE WIFE SAID, I DON'T
00:12:15.46\00:12:20.54
CARE WHAT CHURCH THEY
REPRESENT, EVERYTHING IS
00:12:26.71\00:12:30.81
FROM THIS BOOK THE BIBLE.
00:12:30.85\00:12:34.82
AND SO HE ACCEPTED THE MESSAGE.
00:12:34.85\00:12:36.92
THE WITCH AS HE WAS
KNOWN IN THE WHOLE AREA.
00:12:36.95\00:12:39.82
WOW.
00:12:39.85\00:12:40.92
SO THE TEACHER WHO WAS
THE TEACHER OF THE ELEMENTARY
00:12:40.96\00:12:42.89
SCHOOL WHO WENT THERE
WITH HIS BROTHER OLDEST BROTHER
00:12:42.92\00:12:45.39
SAID I REALLY, IT WAS
VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO DO
00:12:45.43\00:12:48.43
THIS.
00:12:48.46\00:12:49.43
HE SAID WHAT WAS VERY
DIFFICULT FOR ME WAS NOT
00:12:49.46\00:12:51.90
DIFFICULT FOR GOD.
00:13:00.91\00:13:01.91
AMEN.
00:13:01.94\00:13:02.88
BECAUSE HE NEVER
THOUGHT HE WOULD ACCEPT IT.
00:13:02.91\00:13:07.68
AND SO WHEN HE
ACCEPTED THE MESSAGE THEY ALSO,
00:13:13.22\00:13:19.49
THIS IS EMIL, THIS IS THE CHIEF.
00:13:19.53\00:13:22.80
AND HE NEEDED TO BE
CONTINUED TO BE ENCOURAGED
00:13:22.83\00:13:28.77
TO STUDY THE BIBLE MORE
SO ONE OF OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:13:28.80\00:13:35.21
WORKERS ALSO, THIS IS
KLAUS, CAME TO STUDY AND
00:13:35.24\00:13:41.25
WORK WITH THEM FURTHER.
00:13:41.28\00:13:44.09
TODAY THERE ARE BETWEEN
20 AND 30 BAPTIZED MEMBERS IN
00:13:44.12\00:13:45.42
THAT VILLAGE.
00:13:45.45\00:13:46.42
THE CHIEF CAME FROM A
VILLAGE, HIS VILLAGE HAS
00:13:46.45\00:13:47.46
700 PEOPLE.
00:13:47.49\00:13:48.52
AND IN THE MOUNTAINS
THERE ARE TEN MORE VILLAGES.
00:13:48.56\00:13:49.46
HE IS CHIEF OVER ALL OF THEM.
00:13:49.49\00:13:50.59
AND WHAT THE CHIEF DOES
IT PERCOLATES DOWN AND PEOPLE
00:13:50.63\00:13:51.46
HEAR ABOUT IT DON'T THEY.
00:13:51.49\00:13:52.13
YES.
00:13:52.16\00:13:52.79
OH VERY MUCH SO.
00:13:52.83\00:13:53.80
YOU GET THE CHIEF'S
ATTENTION IF YOU MARKET
00:13:53.83\00:13:54.83
THE PROGRAM, IF THE HOLY
SPIRIT MARKETS THE PROGRAM
00:13:54.86\00:13:55.90
AND THE CHIEF SAYS,
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT'S REALLY
00:13:55.93\00:13:57.47
GOOD FOR YOU.
00:13:57.50\00:13:58.50
YOU WILL COME TO MY
PROGRAM TOMORROW NIGHT YOU
00:13:58.53\00:13:59.47
UNDERSTAND?
00:13:59.50\00:14:00.20
(LAUGHTER) YES.
00:14:00.24\00:14:01.07
BUT IT DOESN'T
ALWAYS WORK THAT WAY.
00:14:01.10\00:14:02.94
NOT ALL OF THEM.
00:14:02.97\00:14:04.14
THE PEOPLE WERE
HAPPY AND ACCEPTED.
00:14:04.17\00:14:05.97
SOME OF THE PEOPLE
ABANDONED THE CHIEF
00:14:06.01\00:14:11.08
BECAUSE OF HIS
ACCEPTING THIS NEW BELIEF.
00:14:42.44\00:14:44.71
REALLY.
00:14:44.75\00:14:45.81
OTHER WITCHES TRIED TO KILL HIM.
00:14:45.85\00:14:47.92
THE TWO BROTHERS
WERE TOLD BY A DEMON, NO.
00:14:50.72\00:14:55.46
AND THEY TRIED TO
TRANSFORM THEIR YOUNGEST
00:14:55.49\00:14:58.53
BROTHER.
00:14:58.56\00:15:00.06
THEY COULDN'T DO IT.
00:15:00.10\00:15:02.13
AND THERE WAS PERSECUTION
AND THE DEMON TOLD THE
00:15:03.16\00:15:08.14
YOUNGEST BROTHER THAT HIS
BROTHER DANIEL WHO CAME TO
00:15:08.17\00:15:13.24
SHARE THE BIBLE AND THE
GOOD NEWS WITH HIM HE SAID
00:15:15.78\00:15:18.65
HE'S NOT A CHRISTIAN.
00:15:18.68\00:15:20.75
HE IS A WITCH.
00:15:21.88\00:15:23.72
OF COURSE THAT WAS NOT TRUE.
00:15:23.75\00:15:25.82
BUT THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED.
00:15:27.46\00:15:30.26
SO THERE'S A REAL
MAJOR CONTROVERSY OF THE DARK
00:15:30.29\00:15:33.93
FORCES VERSUS THE LIGHT
FORCES IN A VERY REAL WAY
00:15:33.96\00:15:38.37
STILL TAKING PLACE
RIGHT IN THE HEART OF AFRICA.
00:15:38.40\00:15:41.74
YES.
00:15:41.77\00:15:42.44
THE GREAT CONTROVERSY RAGES.
00:15:42.47\00:15:45.34
AND THERE ARE POWERFUL FORCES.
00:15:47.31\00:15:48.64
AND THAT'S VERY KNOWN
AND REAL FOR THESE PEOPLE
00:15:48.68\00:15:51.85
BECAUSE THAT'S
WHAT THEY LIVE IN.
00:15:51.88\00:15:54.45
YES.
00:15:54.48\00:15:55.55
AND WHEN THE PEOPLE IN
THE VILLAGE HAVE A DEATH OR
00:15:55.58\00:16:00.06
WHATEVER THE CHIEF
ALWAYS COMES TO DO SOME
00:16:00.09\00:16:03.29
TRADITIONAL
WHATEVER HE USED TO DO.
00:16:03.32\00:16:07.66
AND NOW THAT HE BELIEVES
DIFFERENTLY HE NO LONGER
00:16:07.66\00:16:14.07
GOES THERE.
00:16:14.10\00:16:16.24
AND THE PEOPLE
ARE LIKE PARALYZED.
00:16:16.27\00:16:18.24
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
00:16:18.27\00:16:20.34
WELL I WANT TO COME
BACK TO THIS IN JUST A MINUTE
00:16:22.31\00:16:24.08
AND WELL FIND OUT
WELL WHAT DID THEY DO.
00:16:24.11\00:16:26.82

TONGUE AND PEOPLE.
00:16:43.47\00:16:44.67
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS
JUST NOW ON THE SCREEN.
00:16:44.70\00:16:46.77
GOSPEL OUTREACH BEGAN
A MISSION 20 YEARS AGO BY
00:16:50.67\00:16:53.54
ASKING ONE SIMPLE QUESTION.
00:16:53.58\00:16:55.18
WHAT IS JESUS WAITING FOR?
00:16:55.21\00:16:57.25
IN A WORLD FILLED
WITH FAMINE, HUNGER AND
00:16:57.28\00:17:01.18
STARVATION WHAT
IS JESUS WAITING FOR?
00:17:01.22\00:17:04.35
IN A WORLD FILLED WITH
EARTHQUAKES, HURRICANES
00:17:04.39\00:17:06.65
AND NATURAL CALAMITIES
WHAT IS JESUS WAITING FOR?
00:17:06.69\00:17:10.59
THE GOSPEL TELLS US IN
MATTHEW 24:14 "AND THIS
00:17:10.63\00:17:14.63
GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM
SHALL BE PREACHED IN ALL
00:17:14.66\00:17:16.93
THE WORLD FOR A WITNESS
UNTO ALL NATIONS AND THEN
00:17:16.97\00:17:20.77
SHALL THE END COME."
00:17:20.80\00:17:22.87
INSPIRED BY THOSE WORDS
GOSPEL OUTREACH BEGAN WITH
00:17:24.31\00:17:27.41
ONE WORKER AND OVER
THE PAST 20 YEARS HAS GROWN
00:17:27.44\00:17:30.35
INTO AN ORGANIZATION
WITH 22 HUNDRED WORKERS IN 40
00:17:30.38\00:17:34.42
PLUS COUNTRIES.
00:17:34.45\00:17:35.72
GOSPEL OUTREACH IS AN
INDEPENDENT SEVENTH-DAY
00:17:35.75\00:17:38.12
ADVENTIST LAY MINISTRY
RUN ENTIRELY BY VOLUNTEERS.
00:17:38.15\00:17:41.22
YES YOU HEARD THAT CORRECT.
00:17:41.26\00:17:43.69
IT'S AN ALL

GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKS

SPONSOR BIBLE WORKERS
IN UNREACHED TERRITORIES.
00:17:49.33\00:17:51.60
NOW YOU MIGHT ASK
DOESN'T THIS TAKE AWAY FROM THE
00:17:51.63\00:17:56.10
WORK THE CHURCH IS
ALREADY DOING WITH OVER SEAS
00:17:56.14\00:17:58.81
MISSIONS?
00:17:58.84\00:17:59.77
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
00:17:59.81\00:18:01.38
DIRECT SPONSORSHIP IS
JUST A PART OF THE EQUATION.
00:18:01.41\00:18:04.95
JUST AS LARGE A PART
IS STAYING INVOLVED IN THE
00:18:04.98\00:18:07.68
WORK THE CHURCH IS DOING
THROUGH MISSIONS OFFERING.
00:18:07.72\00:18:10.32
GOSPEL OUTREACH'S MAIN
DESIRE IS TO RAISE FUNDS
00:18:10.35\00:18:13.29
WHICH ARE SENT DIRECTLY
TO THE CHURCH TO PAY BIBLE
00:18:13.32\00:18:15.86
WORKERS WHO HELP
SPREAD THE GOSPEL IN THE 10/40
00:18:15.89\00:18:18.39
WINDOW.
00:18:18.43\00:18:20.06
NOW WHAT EXACTLY
IS THE 10/40 WINDOW?
00:18:20.10\00:18:23.70
THE 10/40 WINDOW IS
A REGION OF THE EASTERN
00:18:23.73\00:18:25.97
HEMISPHERE LOCATED BETWEEN
10 AND 40 DEGREES NORTH OF
00:18:26.00\00:18:29.27
THE EQUATOR.
00:18:29.30\00:18:30.07
WHAT MAKES THIS REGION SPECIAL?
00:18:30.11\00:18:33.21
NINETY SEVEN PERCENT
OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE
00:18:33.24\00:18:35.44
WORLD WHO HAVE NEVER
HEARD THE NAME OF JESUS LIVE
00:18:35.48\00:18:38.91
HERE.
00:18:38.95\00:18:39.91
NOW HOW EXACTLY DOES
GOSPEL OUTREACH WORK TO
00:18:39.95\00:18:43.05
REACH THESE PEOPLE?
00:18:43.08\00:18:45.12
WE DO THIS BY WORKING
WITH THE CHURCH AS IT PLACES
00:18:45.15\00:18:47.59
TRAINED INDIGENOUS
WORKERS IN NEW TERRITORIES.
00:18:47.62\00:18:50.56
SENDING OUT
DISCIPLES JUST AS JESUS DID.
00:18:50.59\00:18:54.00
WE SPONSOR BIBLE
WORKERS LIKE PRABERE REUBEN.
00:18:54.03\00:18:56.73
PRABERE IS FROM INDIA
AND WITH THE HELP OF OUR
00:18:56.77\00:18:59.07
SPONSORSHIP HIS CHURCH
CONFERENCE HAS SENT HIM TO
00:18:59.10\00:19:01.64
THE SMALL VILLAGE OF
MARUA TO SHARE THE GOSPEL.
00:19:01.67\00:19:05.27
THESE INDIVIDUALS HAD
NEVER HEARD THE NAME OF
00:19:05.31\00:19:07.51
JESUS, AND THEIR LIVES
HAVE BEEN CHANGED FOREVER.
00:19:07.54\00:19:10.08
IN THE PAST FEW
MONTHS THERE HAVE BEEN NINE
00:19:10.11\00:19:13.28
ADDITIONAL BAPTISMS
DUE TO THE WORK OF PRABERE.
00:19:13.31\00:19:16.82
UNTIL A FEW MONTHS AGO
THE LOCAL MEMBERS OF THIS
00:19:16.85\00:19:19.39
CHURCH HAVE BEEN
WORSHIPPING IN A HOUSE
00:19:19.42\00:19:21.09
CHURCH.
00:19:21.12\00:19:22.16
RECENTLY A NEW MEMBER
NAMED ERISMA GAVE HIS LIFE
00:19:22.19\00:19:25.09
TO GOD AND DONATED A
PIECE OF HIS OWN LAND TO THE
00:19:25.13\00:19:28.20
CHURCH.
00:19:28.23\00:19:29.20
ON IT A NEW TIN
CHURCH HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED.
00:19:29.23\00:19:32.57
IT STILL NEEDS SOME WORK
BUT GOD'S CHURCH CONTINUES
00:19:32.60\00:19:35.47
TO GROW HERE IN INDIA.
00:19:35.50\00:19:36.71
WHEN A BIBLE
WORKER SPONSORED BY GOSPEL
00:19:36.74\00:19:39.91
OUTREACH ENTERS A NEW
VILLAGE IT'S ESTIMATED
00:19:39.94\00:19:42.38
THAT IN THE FIRST YEAR AN
ADDITIONAL 300 INDIVIDUALS
00:19:42.41\00:19:47.48
WILL BE BAPTIZED AND
COMMIT THEIR LIVES TO
00:19:50.19\00:19:51.55
CHRIST.
00:19:51.59\00:19:52.69
INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE
NEVER HEARD THE AMAZING STORY OF
00:19:52.72\00:19:53.72
GOD'S LOVE ARE GETTING
TO MEET JESUS FOR THE FIRST
00:19:53.76\00:19:57.46
TIME.
00:19:57.49\00:19:58.29
NOW HOW CAN YOU HELP?
00:19:58.33\00:20:02.53
BIBLE WORKERS LIKE
PARBERE RELY ON SPONSORSHIPS TO
00:20:02.56\00:20:05.17
SUPPORT THEM AND THEIR
FAMILIES AS THEY SHARE THE
00:20:05.20\00:20:07.64
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE OF GOD.
00:20:07.67\00:20:09.80
THIS IS WHY GOSPEL
OUTREACH IS INTRODUCING
00:20:09.84\00:20:13.27
OUR ADOPT-A-WORKER PROGRAM.
00:20:13.31\00:20:14.78
TOGETHER WITH THE CHURCH
WE IDENTIFY NEW WORKERS IN
00:20:14.81\00:20:18.41
AREAS THAT NEED TO BE REACHED.
00:20:18.45\00:20:20.45
WE HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED
A REQUEST FROM PASTOR RON

00:20:26.15\00:20:31.16
THE NEED IN THE REST OF
ASIA AND AFRICA IS JUST AS
00:20:31.19\00:20:33.76
LARGE WHERE PEOPLE ARE
HUNGRY TO HEAR GOD'S WORD.
00:20:33.80\00:20:37.83
THAT IS WHY IT'S OUR GOAL
TO INTRODUCE A MILLION NEW
00:20:37.87\00:20:40.47
PEOPLE TO JESUS IN
THE NEXT THREE YEARS.
00:20:40.50\00:20:43.44
ALL THAT IS REMAINING FOR
THIS WORK TO BEGIN IS YOUR
00:20:43.47\00:20:46.31
FINANCIAL HELP.
00:20:46.34\00:20:48.48
THE AVERAGE COST OF
A BIBLE WORKER IS 150
00:20:48.51\00:20:50.95
DOLLARS A MONTH.
00:20:50.98\00:20:52.28
FOR SOME THAT'S TOO
MUCH TO SPONSOR ON THEIR OWN
00:20:52.31\00:20:55.55
BUT TOGETHER WITH
YOUR CHURCH, SABBATH SCHOOL
00:20:55.58\00:20:57.89
GROUP OR SCHOOL YOU CAN
TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE WORK
00:20:57.92\00:21:00.79
BEING DONE AND SPONSOR A

00:21:00.82\00:21:03.36
A YEAR.

YOU UPDATED ON THE EXCITING
00:21:04.86\00:21:07.66
PROGRESS OF YOUR
WORKER SENDING YOU STORIES AND
00:21:07.66\00:21:10.60
PICTURES OF THE LIVES
CHANGED BY YOUR DONATIONS.
00:21:10.63\00:21:14.50
NOW THAT YOU KNOW ABOUT
OUR ADOPT-A-WORKER PROGRAM
00:21:14.54\00:21:17.14

YOU CAN GET INVOLVED.
00:21:17.17\00:21:19.91

PRAYER PARTNER FOR GOSPEL
00:21:19.94\00:21:22.51
OUTREACH BY PRAYING

SECOND BECOME AN
AMBASSADOR FOR OUR
00:21:25.48\00:21:27.42
ADOPT-A-WORKER PROGRAM

AND FINALLY
SPONSOR A BIBLE WORKER.
00:21:32.75\00:21:35.69
CALL OR VISIT THE WEBSITE TODAY.
00:21:35.72\00:21:38.89
SO NOW THAT YOU KNOW A
BIT ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH AND
00:21:38.93\00:21:41.66
NOW THAT YOU KNOW WHAT
JESUS IS WAITING FOR THE
00:21:41.70\00:21:44.37
FINAL QUESTION IS,
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
00:21:44.40\00:21:49.47
SO WE'RE HERE SITTING
ON THE EDGE OF OUR SEATS
00:21:54.58\00:21:57.51
TAKEN WAY THERE ON THE
COAST OF AFRICA IN GUINEA
00:21:57.55\00:22:00.78
AND THESE EIGHT COUNTRIES
WHERE GLEN AND KAREN ARE
00:22:00.82\00:22:03.52
IN CHARGE OF ALL OF THE
GOSPEL WORKER VOLUNTEERS
00:22:03.55\00:22:06.96
THAT ARE SERVING THERE.
00:22:06.99\00:22:08.32
AND YOU LEFT US
KIND OF HANGING HERE.
00:22:08.36\00:22:10.16
PERSECUTION,
ANIMISM, WITCH CRAFT.
00:22:10.19\00:22:13.53
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
00:22:13.56\00:22:15.46
EMIL THE CHIEF WHO USED
TO BE A WITCH, AND I DON'T
00:22:15.50\00:22:21.34
EVEN LIKE TO USE THAT
WORD ANYMORE FOR HIM, HE IS NOW
00:22:21.37\00:22:24.87
GOD'S WORKER.
00:22:24.91\00:22:27.04
HE CAME TO OUR MEETINGS
BECAUSE HE WANTED TO LEARN
00:22:27.08\00:22:29.48
WITH ALL THE REST OF
THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS
00:22:29.51\00:22:31.65
HOW TO SHARE THE GOSPEL
OF JESUS WITH HIS PEOPLE
00:22:31.68\00:22:35.95
SIMPLY.
00:22:35.98\00:22:37.62
AND HE ACTUALLY HAD
SOMEBODY FILL IN FOR HIM
00:22:37.65\00:22:44.59
AS THE CHIEF SO HE
COULD COME TO THESE MEETINGS.
00:22:44.63\00:22:47.10
AND HE WANTS TO LEARN.
00:22:49.03\00:22:51.77
HE WANTS HIS PEOPLE WHO
EVEN CANNOT READ AND WRITE
00:22:51.80\00:22:56.20
TO LEARN HOW THEY CAN
HEAR AND SHARE WHAT THEY HEAR
00:22:56.24\00:23:02.61
WITH OTHERS WHO
CANNOT READ AND WRITE.
00:23:02.64\00:23:04.61
THIS IS WAY OUT IN THE
BUSH UP IN THE MOUNTAINS
00:23:04.65\00:23:07.55
OF AFRICA WHERE MANY
DON'T READ AND WRITE AND HE'S
00:23:07.58\00:23:10.15
WANTING ACTUALLY NOT
ONLY TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS BUT
00:23:10.19\00:23:12.62
HAVE THEM BECOME LITERATE.
00:23:12.65\00:23:14.92
WELL THEY WON'T
NECESSARILY BECOME
00:23:14.96\00:23:16.83
LITERATE.
00:23:16.86\00:23:17.59
YOU DON'T NEED TO TO SHOW JESUS.
00:23:17.63\00:23:18.83
THAT'S TRUE.
00:23:18.86\00:23:20.03
YOU JUST TELL WHAT YOU KNOW.
00:23:20.06\00:23:22.16
AND SO WE HAVE
ACTUALLY TRIED IT.
00:23:22.20\00:23:25.23
GLEN HAS HAD CHURCH SERVICE.
00:23:25.27\00:23:29.04
AFTERWARDS HE SAID NOW
I WANT SOMEBODY WHO CAN'T
00:23:29.07\00:23:31.41
READ AND WRITE, I DON'T
WANT TO EMBARRASS YOU, TO
00:23:31.44\00:23:33.48
COME UP AND TELL THE
STORY AND ASK QUESTIONS LIKE
00:23:33.51\00:23:37.81
YOU'VE HEARD IT.
00:23:37.85\00:23:39.21
THEY VOLUNTEER AND
THEY CAN UP AND TELL IT.
00:23:39.25\00:23:41.32
WELL THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.
00:23:41.35\00:23:42.45
SO HE HAS
LEARNED HOW TO DO THAT.
00:23:42.48\00:23:44.22
AND HE SAID I WANT TO
SHARE THE BIBLE SIMPLY
00:23:44.25\00:23:45.55
EVEN IF THEY PERSECUTE
ME OR WON'T ACCEPT IT HE
00:23:45.59\00:23:46.89
SAID.
00:23:46.92\00:23:47.89
AND HE SAID I WANT NOT
JUST MY VILLAGES TO KNOW
00:23:47.92\00:23:48.99
THIS, I WANT THE BIG CITY
DOWN BELOW MY MOUNTAINS TO
00:23:49.02\00:23:52.46
KNOW ABOUT JESUS.
00:23:52.49\00:23:54.56
THEY ALSO DO NOT HAVE
A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
00:24:05.57\00:24:08.21
PRESENCE WHO BELIEVE
IN JESUS AND THE WONDERFUL
00:24:08.24\00:24:11.35
NEWS OF WHAT JESUS DID
FOR US AND ETERNAL LIFE IS
00:24:11.38\00:24:14.15
OFFERED.
00:24:14.18\00:24:16.52
I MEAN I APPRECIATE HIS
NOT JUST BEING INTERESTED
00:24:16.55\00:24:20.89
IN HIS PEOPLE BUT
REACHING OUT EVEN TO OTHERS.
00:24:20.92\00:24:23.32
THERE BECAME A PASSION
IN HIS HEART TO REACH OUT TO
00:24:23.36\00:24:26.06
OTHERS.
00:24:26.09\00:24:26.73
AMEN.
00:24:26.76\00:24:27.76
WHICH IS WHAT JESUS TOLD
THAT DEMONIC TO DO ON THE
00:24:27.76\00:24:29.56
OTHER SIDE OF
THE SEA OF GALILEE.
00:24:29.60\00:24:30.93
HE WANTED TO COME BE
PART OF THE COLLEGE OF THE
00:24:30.97\00:24:33.34
DISCIPLES.
00:24:33.37\00:24:33.90
NOPE, YOU GO AND TELL.
00:24:33.94\00:24:36.71
HE HADN'T HAD ANY BIBLE STUDIES.
00:24:36.74\00:24:38.21
HE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT
THE 23 HUNDRED DAYS OR ALL
00:24:38.24\00:24:40.01
ABOUT THE HEALTH MESSAGE.
00:24:40.04\00:24:41.01
YOU GO AND TELL WHAT
JESUS HAS DONE FOR YOU.
00:24:41.04\00:24:43.61
AND THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT HAPPENED HERE.
00:24:43.65\00:24:45.51
YES.
00:24:45.55\00:24:46.68
AND THAT'S WHAT EVEN
PEOPLE WHO CAN'T READ AND
00:24:46.72\00:24:48.58
WRITE, THEY CAN
TELL WHAT THEY KNOW.
00:24:48.62\00:24:50.55
AND HOW MANY NOW HAS
HE INFLUENCED EVEN OUTSIDE
00:24:50.59\00:24:52.92
THAT AREA AS FAR AS YOU KNOW.
00:24:52.95\00:24:54.72
I DON'T KNOW BUT UP IN
HIS AREA THEY HAVE BUILT A
00:24:54.76\00:24:57.53
LITTLE CHURCH OUT OF
MUD BRICKS JUST LIKE THEY
00:24:57.56\00:25:00.96
BUILD THEIR HOMES SO
THAT THEY HAVE A PLACE TO
00:25:01.00\00:25:02.90
WORSHIP.
00:25:02.93\00:25:04.13
ANY FINAL WORD
BEFORE WE WRAP THIS UP?
00:25:04.17\00:25:07.20
ONE EXCITING THING
THAT YOU JUST CAN'T WAIT TO
00:25:07.24\00:25:10.21
TELL.
00:25:10.24\00:25:12.31
WHAT'S EXCITING TO ME IS
THAT JESUS WANTS TO BE, HE
00:25:15.01\00:25:20.08
WANTS ALL OF US
HOME IN HEAVEN WITH HIM.
00:25:22.42\00:25:25.05
AND IT'S NEAT TO SEE
MEN AND WOMEN AND CHILDREN
00:25:25.09\00:25:28.22
ACCEPTING THE GOOD NEWS
AND BE PART OF THE KINGDOM
00:25:28.26\00:25:32.43
BUILDING THAT IS GOING ON.
00:25:32.46\00:25:35.50
THAT IS SO EXCITING.
00:25:35.53\00:25:36.73
I APPRECIATE YOU
SHARING THAT BECAUSE WE THINK WE
00:25:36.77\00:25:39.57
KNOW WHO ARE THE
POTENTIAL CANDIDATES.
00:25:39.60\00:25:41.44
THESE ARE OBVIOUSLY,
BUT HE KNOWS A LOT OF THOSE
00:25:41.47\00:25:44.51
PEOPLE WHO ARE MAYBE
INTO WITCHCRAFT AND ANIMISM.
00:25:44.54\00:25:47.38
HE WANTS THEM IN HIS
KINGDOM AND MAYBE THAT'S
00:25:47.41\00:25:49.61
ONE OF THE REASONS
HE'S POSTPONING FOR JUST A
00:25:49.64\00:25:51.68
LITTLE LONGER.
00:25:51.71\00:25:53.01
AND FRIEND, RIGHT BACK
THERE AT HOME YOU CAN HAVE
00:25:53.05\00:25:56.02
A PART IN THIS MINISTRY.
00:25:56.05\00:25:58.32
YOU CAN ACTUALLY
FULFILL JESUS' GREAT GOSPEL
00:25:58.35\00:26:01.09
COMMISSION TO GO
INTO ALL THE WORLD.
00:26:01.12\00:26:03.46
WELL LONNIE I CAN'T
NECESSARILY GO INTO ALL
00:26:03.49\00:26:05.96
THE COUNTRIES MYSELF PERSONALLY.
00:26:05.99\00:26:07.50
I CAN'T GO INTO
SOUTHERN GUINEA AS YOU HAVE BEEN
00:26:07.50\00:26:09.60
THERE.
00:26:09.63\00:26:10.43
BUT YOU CAN GO
THERE IN SEVERAL WAYS.
00:26:10.47\00:26:12.83
NUMBER ONE THE MOST
IMPORTANT WAY IS THROUGH
00:26:12.87\00:26:15.20
PRAYER.
00:26:15.24\00:26:16.30
GOD NOT ONLY HEARS
PRAYERS HE WILL SPEAK TO PEOPLE
00:26:16.34\00:26:19.17
THROUGH YOUR PRAYER.
00:26:19.21\00:26:20.21
IT RELEASES HIS HANDS TO
SEND ANGELS AND TOUCH THE
00:26:20.24\00:26:23.55
LIVES OF
INDIVIDUALS YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW.
00:26:23.58\00:26:25.15
YOU'LL NEVER MEET THEM
UNTIL YOU GET TO HEAVEN.
00:26:25.18\00:26:26.58
PRAYER.
00:26:26.61\00:26:27.45
PRAY FOR THESE
MISSIONARIES, PRAY FOR
00:26:27.48\00:26:29.08
THESE DEDICATED.
00:26:29.12\00:26:31.05
TAKING THEIR
LIVES IN THEIR HANDS.
00:26:31.09\00:26:32.79
AND SECONDLY GET INVOLVED
IF YOU CAN BY SENDING FOR
00:26:32.82\00:26:34.76
A COPY OF
ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS .
00:26:34.79\00:26:36.09
THIS IS FREE FOR ANYONE
WHO WRITES AND WE'LL SEND
00:26:36.12\00:26:37.43
IT TO YOU.
00:26:37.46\00:26:38.46
IT WILL TELL A LITTLE
BIT MORE ABOUT THE STORIES
00:26:38.49\00:26:39.43
THAT ARE IN IT.
00:26:39.46\00:26:40.36
AND FINALLY IF YOU
POSSIBLY CAN DO SO GET
00:26:40.40\00:26:41.40
INVOLVED IN SUPPORTING.
00:26:41.43\00:26:42.06
EVEN PARTIALLY.
00:26:42.10\00:26:42.76
EVERY SINGLE NICKLE.
00:26:42.80\00:26:43.67
IT'S A TOTALLY LAY
VOLUNTEER MINISTRY.
00:26:43.70\00:26:44.77
THANKS FOR WATCHING TODAY.
