Welcome to
Adventures and Missions.
00:00:00.86\00:00:01.70
I'm Julie and it's
great to have you here.
00:00:01.73\00:00:03.43
We so
appreciate your partnership
00:00:03.47\00:00:05.20
and your support as we
share Jesus in the 1040 window
00:00:05.23\00:00:09.04
today, we're going to have
the opportunity to learn about
00:00:09.27\00:00:11.44
how people are
excited and getting involved
00:00:11.47\00:00:13.58
with being a part
of Gospel Outreach.
00:00:13.61\00:00:15.44
And that means you too.
00:00:15.48\00:00:17.41
And later on,
we're going to be talking
00:00:17.45\00:00:18.85
with the president
of Ultimate Missions,
00:00:18.88\00:00:20.78
and we hope that
you'll stay tuned.
00:00:20.82\00:00:23.18
Gospel Outreach
Presents Adventures
00:00:23.22\00:00:26.52
in Missions.
00:00:26.55\00:00:29.62
It's a new month
00:00:48.11\00:00:51.18
We are Dan and Nancy Godman.
00:00:52.75\00:00:55.58
We live here in
Milton Free Water, Oregon.
00:00:55.62\00:00:58.02
And once or twice a week
00:00:58.05\00:01:00.09
we come to Gospel
Outreach to help out.
00:01:00.12\00:01:02.99
We kind of developed our own
00:01:03.02\00:01:05.03
titles, Ambassador Coordinators.
00:01:05.06\00:01:07.76
Cause nobody we really
didn't have anything like that.
00:01:07.83\00:01:11.17
And so they said,
Well, what do we call you?
00:01:11.37\00:01:13.30
And they said, Well,
we're ambassador coordinators
00:01:13.34\00:01:15.57
because that's
what we try to do.
00:01:15.60\00:01:17.81
And it just stuck.
00:01:17.84\00:01:19.57
It was already
going when we came here?
00:01:22.28\00:01:24.68
And there is just one person
00:01:24.71\00:01:26.45
doing it and
they asked us to help.
00:01:26.48\00:01:28.28
And after a short
time that person left and
00:01:28.32\00:01:31.79
it became ours and we've
been doing it for the um.
00:01:32.79\00:01:35.96
Well, what is it?
00:01:36.22\00:01:37.19
We're in our 11th,
11th year now doing this.
00:01:37.23\00:01:40.03
We try to find individuals in
00:01:47.04\00:01:50.11
our churches here in in America
that want to are interested
00:01:50.61\00:01:54.34
in representing a mission
program like Gospel Outreach.
00:01:54.38\00:01:58.38
And because it's
hard to get our message
00:01:59.18\00:02:01.68
to the individual
churches, there are over
00:02:01.72\00:02:03.52
6000 of them in
North American division.
00:02:03.55\00:02:06.59
And so we have we try to
find individuals in the church
00:02:06.62\00:02:09.82
who will keep the church
apprized of what we're doing.
00:02:09.86\00:02:12.93
It really is a wonderful
organization to be a part of.
00:02:15.33\00:02:18.67
And our kids are
00:02:20.27\00:02:20.97
both ambassadors in their area.
00:02:21.00\00:02:24.44
We come and we were lucky enough
to get our friends involved.
00:02:24.84\00:02:30.78
Ed and Bev Cline.
00:02:31.45\00:02:34.32
And they've been here probably
the year after we joined.
00:02:34.35\00:02:38.19
They joined us and they help us
00:02:38.22\00:02:41.29
every month get
the newsletter around.
00:02:41.42\00:02:44.49
That's right.
00:02:46.46\00:02:47.40
We did not have
Internet sending at that time
00:02:47.40\00:02:51.37
when we first
started, and so we just
00:02:51.40\00:02:54.47
rolled them up and
and put them in envelopes
00:02:55.34\00:02:58.34
and put addresses on
them and mailed them out.
00:02:58.37\00:03:02.01
And down here it doesn't show.
00:03:05.98\00:03:09.05
We started out
00:03:09.98\00:03:11.55
sending everything
hard copies of everything.
00:03:11.59\00:03:14.26
And once a quarter we
would send out a Mission DVD.
00:03:14.29\00:03:17.36
And now that we have GOTV,
we don't send DVDs out anymore
00:03:17.53\00:03:21.36
because it's a lot
handier just to go there
00:03:21.40\00:03:23.20
and get the mission stories.
00:03:23.23\00:03:25.30
And also about, oh, four
years ago, five years ago,
00:03:25.33\00:03:29.24
those that had email addresses,
00:03:30.14\00:03:32.74
we started
sending the newsletter out
00:03:32.77\00:03:35.11
via email, and it worked really
well because a lot of folks
00:03:35.14\00:03:38.35
prefer to get it that way.
00:03:39.11\00:03:40.72
They don't have to
print it, they don't.
00:03:40.75\00:03:42.98
They can read it.
00:03:43.02\00:03:44.19
And and it's easier to save
too, if you want to do that.
00:03:44.22\00:03:46.89
I think prayer comes in there
00:03:52.99\00:03:55.56
very high up without the
prayer and nothing else works.
00:03:55.60\00:03:58.73
There are many that say,
well, I can't I can't break away
00:03:58.77\00:04:03.87
from either work or because
I'm too old, I can't travel
00:04:04.17\00:04:08.24
to the mission
00:04:09.24\00:04:11.21
location.
00:04:11.25\00:04:12.68
All they need to do is to
pray, give if they can give.
00:04:12.71\00:04:18.82
But if they can't
00:04:19.29\00:04:21.52
share Gospel Outreach
with their church family
00:04:21.56\00:04:25.79
on a regular basis as
the Lord impresses you,
00:04:26.26\00:04:30.00
share with your church families
with the different stories
00:04:30.03\00:04:33.80
that we send.
00:04:33.84\00:04:36.91
As you look around you.
00:04:38.04\00:04:39.81
We know time is
shorter than it has been.
00:04:39.84\00:04:42.98
There's a lot more trouble in
the world than there has been in
00:04:43.01\00:04:45.85
a long time.
00:04:45.88\00:04:47.15
It's just seems to be building
and building faster and faster.
00:04:47.18\00:04:50.05
And we're told that
00:04:50.42\00:04:51.32
when you see things
like this happening,
00:04:51.35\00:04:53.15
you know that the end is near.
00:04:53.19\00:04:55.06
And that means if we're
interested in seeing Jesus come
00:04:55.09\00:04:58.33
and being ready for him to
come, then we need to be ready
00:04:58.36\00:05:01.96
and helping others to be ready.
00:05:02.10\00:05:04.43
And we have
chosen Gospel Outreach
00:05:04.47\00:05:07.54
as our particular ministry
because it seems to fit our
00:05:07.94\00:05:11.61
our personalities
and our skill set.
00:05:12.24\00:05:14.88
I'd like to encourage
people who are out there
00:05:14.91\00:05:16.95
in the churches to
think, think about that.
00:05:16.98\00:05:19.61
Don't just think about
00:05:19.65\00:05:21.12
I'm going to work tomorrow
or how do I pay the bills
00:05:21.15\00:05:24.19
or things like that.
00:05:24.22\00:05:25.32
But the biggest event in
the whole universe is about
00:05:25.35\00:05:28.86
to happen, it's before us.
00:05:28.89\00:05:30.29
And are we're
going to be ready for it.
00:05:31.46\00:05:32.79
Or are we not
going to be ready for it?
00:05:32.83\00:05:34.50
You got those choices.
You have those two choices.
00:05:34.56\00:05:36.50
You're either
ready or you're not.
00:05:36.53\00:05:39.60
Welcome to
adventures and Missions.
00:05:53.65\00:05:55.28
Jim Reynolds, it's
great having you here.
00:05:55.32\00:05:56.95
It's always nice
to be here Julie.
00:05:56.99\00:05:58.19
So, Jim, for a viewer
00:05:58.22\00:06:00.36
who might not know
about Ultimate Mission,
00:06:00.39\00:06:02.26
could you give us a
little synopsis of what you do?
00:06:02.29\00:06:05.43
And I know that's kind of
hard because you do so much,
00:06:05.46\00:06:07.60
but if you could
share a little bit
00:06:07.60\00:06:08.83
about what Ultimate Mission is
and what your goal is with it,
00:06:08.86\00:06:11.67
Hmm, well, so
what we do right now
00:06:11.70\00:06:14.34
with Gospel
Outreach is is really cool
00:06:14.37\00:06:16.50
because we're
partners with Gospel Outreach.
00:06:16.54\00:06:18.74
So Gospel Outreach hires
of men and and trains them
00:06:18.77\00:06:22.58
to be Bible workers
00:06:22.61\00:06:23.75
and pays them to work out in
the field in the 1040 window.
00:06:23.78\00:06:26.88
So what Ultimate Mission
does is we hire the wives of
00:06:27.15\00:06:30.52
the Gospel Outreach
workers and we train them to do
00:06:30.55\00:06:33.19
medical missionary work,
00:06:33.22\00:06:34.26
public health work, and
then we put them to work
00:06:34.29\00:06:36.86
with a stipend
out in the fields.
00:06:36.89\00:06:38.86
So along with their husbands.
00:06:38.89\00:06:40.30
So this gives
00:06:40.33\00:06:42.13
this makes a husband and
wife team that is going out
00:06:42.16\00:06:45.27
and meeting the
needs of the people.
00:06:45.30\00:06:47.40
And it just it's
just a great combination.
00:06:47.44\00:06:50.07
I think it's a
match made in heaven
00:06:50.11\00:06:51.57
with Gospel Outreach
and Ultimate Mission.
00:06:51.61\00:06:53.34
And and we really appreciate
the partnership that we have
00:06:53.38\00:06:56.48
with Gospel Outreach.
00:06:56.51\00:06:58.08
Well, it's wonderful to
partner with you as well, Jim,
00:06:58.11\00:07:00.75
And just what you said,
having that team of the Gospel
00:07:00.78\00:07:04.55
Outreach worker
00:07:04.59\00:07:05.55
and then his wife
having the medical knowledge
00:07:05.59\00:07:09.09
and why don't
you talk a little bit
00:07:09.12\00:07:10.86
about that, about
the importance of her
00:07:10.89\00:07:12.49
being a female
going into these homes.
00:07:12.53\00:07:15.63
Yeah, well, of
course, the women carry
00:07:15.66\00:07:18.33
the water, make the
food, take care of the babies.
00:07:18.37\00:07:20.74
And and
00:07:20.77\00:07:21.90
so when you can reach the
women when it comes to health,
00:07:21.94\00:07:25.51
you can really raise the
health in the whole community.
00:07:25.67\00:07:28.31
Matter of fact, studies,
00:07:28.34\00:07:29.64
any study you look
at, you can Google it.
00:07:29.68\00:07:31.48
It'll show
00:07:31.51\00:07:32.78
if you educate women the health
of the whole community raises.
00:07:32.81\00:07:36.02
And here's another fun thing.
00:07:36.28\00:07:39.02
When a man goes
into a village, there's
00:07:39.05\00:07:40.86
a little bit of a
defense that's come up. Right?
00:07:40.89\00:07:43.43
But when a woman
00:07:43.46\00:07:44.53
goes into a village and
makes friends with the wives
00:07:44.56\00:07:47.36
in the village and carries
the water and talks to them,
00:07:47.40\00:07:50.23
you know, at the
different gatherings,
00:07:50.27\00:07:51.83
all of a sudden
00:07:51.87\00:07:52.73
you have this
relationship that's built
00:07:52.77\00:07:54.70
that the man can work off of.
00:07:54.74\00:07:56.64
So now
00:07:56.67\00:07:57.84
men are getting into homes
they would have never got into
00:07:57.87\00:08:00.58
had the wives not
have had a relationship
00:08:00.61\00:08:03.41
with the other
wives in the village.
00:08:03.45\00:08:04.71
It's very powerful.
00:08:04.75\00:08:05.78
Women ministering to women
00:08:05.81\00:08:07.28
is one of the most powerful
things I've ever seen. Globally.
00:08:07.32\00:08:10.49
Yes, globally.
00:08:10.52\00:08:11.52
But and also this
bring up the fact of cultural
00:08:11.55\00:08:14.36
norms of not having a man.
00:08:15.29\00:08:17.06
Obviously going into
a home around the world.
00:08:17.09\00:08:19.93
That's true.
00:08:19.96\00:08:21.03
And so this is also a
better way of just encompassing,
00:08:21.06\00:08:24.23
encompassing
everything RATHER.  Yeah, yeah.
00:08:24.27\00:08:26.43
And husband wife team
can go anywhere, right? Yes.
00:08:26.47\00:08:29.47
You know,
00:08:29.50\00:08:30.24
you know, a man,
00:08:30.27\00:08:31.11
a woman shouldn't
be in a home alone
00:08:31.14\00:08:32.44
with a married man
should be alone with the woman.
00:08:32.47\00:08:35.21
But husband, wife team is bingo.
00:08:35.24\00:08:37.08
Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
00:08:37.11\00:08:38.98
So there's a
partnership not only between
00:08:39.01\00:08:41.12
Ultimate Mission
and Gospel Outreach,
00:08:41.15\00:08:43.15
but we have now
brought in a third organization
00:08:43.18\00:08:46.62
and tell us about all three
organizations working together.
00:08:46.65\00:08:50.73
Oh, yeah. So?
00:08:50.76\00:08:51.83
So It is Written as
00:08:51.86\00:08:53.63
this will be our second
project with It is Written
00:08:53.66\00:08:55.93
in the Philippines.
00:08:55.96\00:08:57.20
And so what we've
done in the past is
00:08:57.23\00:08:58.87
It is Written would
have an evangelism series.
00:08:58.90\00:09:01.44
And we go in there and
we do the health project
00:09:01.47\00:09:03.94
for them before
the evangelism series,
00:09:03.97\00:09:05.94
and then we bring the
Gospel Outreach workers
00:09:05.97\00:09:08.11
and their wives,
00:09:08.14\00:09:09.08
and they would help
us with the evangelism
00:09:09.11\00:09:11.31
series with the health work.
00:09:11.35\00:09:12.81
And then John
Bradshaw or West Peppers
00:09:12.85\00:09:14.95
or one of their
speakers will speak.
00:09:14.98\00:09:16.65
But but we're helping
to bring everybody in and
00:09:16.69\00:09:19.52
and treating them.
00:09:19.55\00:09:20.82
And matter of fact, you know,
last time we were able to send,
00:09:20.86\00:09:23.96
what was it,
00:09:24.19\00:09:25.46
six people to the hospital,
critical care patients,
00:09:25.49\00:09:28.20
and they would have died, right?
00:09:28.23\00:09:29.96
Because they didn't
know that they were so sick?
00:09:30.00\00:09:32.47
They didn't realize
that they were so sick.
00:09:32.50\00:09:34.30
They came in just to get advice
and just to come see a doctor.
00:09:34.34\00:09:37.71
I understand.
00:09:37.74\00:09:38.27
And when they came in to
00:09:38.31\00:09:40.18
where we were having
an evangelism series,
00:09:40.21\00:09:42.51
we check everybody.
00:09:42.54\00:09:43.65
We do vital signs. A triage.
00:09:43.68\00:09:45.65
Yes. And triage.
00:09:45.68\00:09:46.58
And and then we have
docs and nurses there.
00:09:46.61\00:09:48.88
And it was like, oh,
we've got to take care of this.
00:09:48.92\00:09:51.32
And so we were able to
send people to the hospital
00:09:51.35\00:09:53.49
and saved their lives.
00:09:53.52\00:09:55.02
One little girl, as a
matter of fact, seven year
00:09:55.06\00:09:57.69
old little girl, could
not did not have insulin.
00:09:57.73\00:10:00.66
She was very her her
blood sugar was super high.
00:10:00.70\00:10:03.37
Did they know she was diabetic?
00:10:03.40\00:10:04.67
They did, but but they didn't
have the money for the insulin.
00:10:04.70\00:10:07.77
Her and her mother were actually
on the streets in Ethiopia.
00:10:07.80\00:10:10.94
No place to live,
no way to get insulin.
00:10:10.97\00:10:13.31
So we set her up for
insulin for I mean, we're
00:10:13.34\00:10:16.71
still getting her
insulin every month.
00:10:16.75\00:10:18.51
You know how much
that cost us? How much?
00:10:18.55\00:10:20.32
Six bucks a month.
00:10:20.35\00:10:21.78
That's all.  $6 a month.
00:10:21.82\00:10:23.62
Matter of fact, the
six people we sent in for
00:10:23.65\00:10:25.55
critical care in the
hospital, it only came to $156.
00:10:25.59\00:10:29.62
So for less than $156, we
were able to save six lives.
00:10:29.99\00:10:33.96
And these people went in,
00:10:34.00\00:10:35.30
they got medical
attention, they got medications.
00:10:35.33\00:10:39.00
A couple of them
stayed overnight, $156.
00:10:39.03\00:10:42.14
And for that family,
for that mother and daughter
00:10:42.30\00:10:44.47
living on the streets,
they didn't have the $6 a month.
00:10:44.51\00:10:47.04
No they didn't. Still
don't. Praise the Lord.
00:10:47.08\00:10:49.68
So this is what we'll be doing
00:10:49.71\00:10:50.98
in the Philippines as
well, because we partnered with
00:10:51.01\00:10:53.45
It is Written again I'm good
friends with the West Peppers.
00:10:53.48\00:10:56.89
And he called, said, Hey,
Jim, you want to do it again?
00:10:56.92\00:10:59.02
I said, Sure. Love it.
00:10:59.05\00:11:00.62
So same idea, different
country. Different country,
00:11:00.66\00:11:03.63
except this time,
00:11:03.66\00:11:04.86
this time I get to do the evag-.
00:11:04.89\00:11:07.20
One of the
evangelism series. Really?
00:11:07.23\00:11:09.26
Yeah, They're doing 11 series.
00:11:09.30\00:11:11.03
They're doing 11 sites.
00:11:11.07\00:11:12.57
It is Written is.
00:11:12.60\00:11:13.84
And so they asked me to speak
at one of the sites. Wow, Jim.
00:11:13.87\00:11:17.01
Which is totally awesome.
00:11:17.04\00:11:18.91
So how many
00:11:18.94\00:11:19.91
how many presentations
that you're preparing?
00:11:19.94\00:11:21.84
Um, 15. Wow.
00:11:21.88\00:11:23.28
Yeah. Wow. Well,
we'll be praying for you.
00:11:23.31\00:11:25.95
And I'm going to need you know,
00:11:25.98\00:11:27.95
there's a there's there's a
couple cool things about that.
00:11:27.98\00:11:30.45
When I started Ultimate Mission,
00:11:30.49\00:11:32.92
which was how long
ago? Well that was in 2009.
00:11:32.95\00:11:35.19
But when when I had gone to
India three times, the third
00:11:35.22\00:11:38.26
time, I was going to go
over and do an evangelism series
00:11:38.29\00:11:41.00
because I'd done
some in the States,
00:11:41.03\00:11:42.36
but I'd never
done some overseas,
00:11:42.40\00:11:44.27
and I was going
to go over, do it.
00:11:44.30\00:11:46.03
And then the people
that were sponsoring
00:11:46.07\00:11:48.17
me, Child Impact, was sponsor me
00:11:48.20\00:11:49.87
at the time to do the evangelism
series called and said,
00:11:49.90\00:11:52.57
The government's not
going to let us do that.
00:11:52.61\00:11:54.61
And so I didn't get to do
it, but we did like a health
00:11:54.64\00:11:57.71
program, and that's what
started what we're doing now.
00:11:57.75\00:12:01.18
So God stopped the
whole evangelism thing
00:12:01.65\00:12:04.29
and started to open the door for
the health. And now He's open
00:12:04.32\00:12:07.92
Evangelism series.
00:12:07.96\00:12:09.19
And now I get to do
00:12:09.22\00:12:10.29
the evangelism series I
wanted to do back in 2013.
00:12:10.33\00:12:13.53
Well, praise the Lord.
00:12:13.56\00:12:14.83
And here's
00:12:14.83\00:12:15.36
another fun, fun fact
00:12:15.40\00:12:16.80
where I was away from
the church for 26 years,
00:12:16.83\00:12:19.90
and when I came back,
00:12:20.04\00:12:22.24
I didn't know if I was going
00:12:22.27\00:12:23.34
to come back to
the Adventist church.
00:12:23.37\00:12:25.17
I was looking at Catholic
and Baptist and Methodist and
00:12:25.21\00:12:28.88
and I was just looking
around and I got a DVD from who
00:12:29.31\00:12:33.21
It is Written.
00:12:33.78\00:12:34.62
So. So yeah, so.
00:12:36.02\00:12:38.02
He knows the whole story.
00:12:38.05\00:12:41.09
So now I get to do an
00:12:41.12\00:12:42.19
evangelism series
with It is Written
00:12:42.22\00:12:44.36
and it's just,
it's so exciting for me,
00:12:44.39\00:12:47.23
you know, that
00:12:47.30\00:12:49.43
I'm I'm
oftentimes not speechless,
00:12:49.46\00:12:51.47
but that is a really, we
got we got to pause on that.
00:12:51.50\00:12:54.00
That is really cool.
Jim That is really cool.
00:12:54.04\00:12:56.57
That's really cool.
00:12:56.60\00:12:57.57
So just pray for me
as I go to do this. Yeah.
00:12:57.61\00:13:00.38
And well, and
your great spot there.
00:13:00.41\00:13:03.04
And you have much more
content to be able to share
00:13:03.08\00:13:06.92
with, with people in the
series and all of that. So.
00:13:06.95\00:13:09.72
Oh, okay, good.
00:13:09.75\00:13:10.75
All right.
00:13:10.79\00:13:11.72
Well now let's come
back to the Philippines.
00:13:11.75\00:13:13.09
There we are in the Philippines.
00:13:13.12\00:13:14.19
So child feeding
programs, you've started
00:13:14.22\00:13:17.39
those prior to the
evangelism series? Yes.
00:13:17.43\00:13:20.96
Yeah, they're
going on right now.
00:13:21.00\00:13:22.96
So tell us about that.
00:13:23.00\00:13:23.80
So so we've done
these in the past.
00:13:23.83\00:13:26.17
And so what we will do
00:13:26.20\00:13:27.70
malnourishment
is is a big problem
00:13:27.74\00:13:29.97
in the
Philippines and wasting even,
00:13:30.01\00:13:31.97
which is severe
malnourishment. Right?
00:13:32.01\00:13:34.38
So wasting of the,
Yeah, at a certain point
00:13:34.41\00:13:37.98
they call the child wasted
00:13:38.01\00:13:39.21
because they've lost so much
weight, muscle, everything. Yes.
00:13:39.25\00:13:42.35
And and so we have in the
past, we've done these child
00:13:42.78\00:13:46.72
feeding programs where
we will go into a barangay.
00:13:46.76\00:13:50.16
It's a village,
they call it a barangay,
00:13:50.19\00:13:52.49
and we'll go in
there and find the
00:13:52.53\00:13:53.83
malnourished children
and then we will feed them
00:13:53.86\00:13:56.80
once a week
00:13:56.83\00:13:57.93
while we're feeding them,
because we know once a week
00:13:57.97\00:14:00.20
isn't going to
solve the problem right.
00:14:00.24\00:14:02.07
But while we're feeding them,
we will run health classes.
00:14:02.10\00:14:05.14
So we will bring the parents
in and we will say, okay,
00:14:05.17\00:14:07.71
your child is eating
right now, but here's a way
00:14:07.74\00:14:10.61
that you can help them
eat better in the future.
00:14:10.65\00:14:13.68
So, you know, a lot of times
people just don't have the money
00:14:13.82\00:14:15.98
or there's, you
know, a food scarcity.
00:14:16.02\00:14:18.62
Not much you can
do about that. Right.
00:14:18.65\00:14:20.59
But the other problem is they
don't get a variety of food.
00:14:20.62\00:14:23.66
So what are they
eating consistently?
00:14:23.69\00:14:25.39
So a lot of fish, right?
00:14:25.43\00:14:27.40
A lot of fish and
rice. Fish and rice.
00:14:27.40\00:14:29.06
And so you have you have,
00:14:29.10\00:14:30.97
you know, food like
that that they're eating,
00:14:31.00\00:14:32.60
but they're not getting
their fruits and vegetables
00:14:32.63\00:14:35.14
and all those
different They're available.
00:14:35.17\00:14:36.97
But they have lots of
fruit in the Philippines.
00:14:37.01\00:14:38.64
They're available, but
they're just a lot of times
00:14:38.67\00:14:41.91
people get stuck on and
this is our this is our diet.
00:14:41.94\00:14:44.78
This is what we eat.
00:14:44.81\00:14:45.68
And so so food
variety is a big thing.
00:14:45.71\00:14:48.82
And then the other thing,
00:14:48.85\00:14:49.78
of course, is
hygiene and good water. Yes.
00:14:49.82\00:14:52.09
Because the problem is, is if
00:14:52.12\00:14:54.09
if the hygiene isn't good
and the water is that good,
00:14:54.12\00:14:57.09
the nutrition
that they're getting
00:14:57.13\00:14:58.56
is going to fight
off disease. Right.
00:14:58.59\00:15:00.33
Because they'll get
diarrhea from the water
00:15:00.36\00:15:02.13
and then the
00:15:02.16\00:15:03.30
whole cycle continues and
then they're not being able
00:15:03.33\00:15:04.67
to absorb the
nutrients and. Right.
00:15:04.70\00:15:06.87
And so and then breast
feeding is really something
00:15:06.90\00:15:10.67
that we focus on
in the Philippines.
00:15:10.71\00:15:12.94
Unfortunately,
the formula companies
00:15:12.97\00:15:15.88
just put a whole lot
of formula out there.
00:15:15.91\00:15:18.95
When a baby is
born at the hospitals,
00:15:18.98\00:15:20.72
they just gave it away.
00:15:20.75\00:15:21.95
They free it, they give it away.
00:15:21.98\00:15:23.82
So the mother gets
used to using this formula.
00:15:23.85\00:15:26.22
It's an easy the formula.
00:15:26.25\00:15:28.62
You know,
00:15:28.66\00:15:29.79
you don't have the problem
of a bearing, you know. Yes.
00:15:29.82\00:15:32.46
And and so
exposure and all that.
00:15:32.73\00:15:36.00
And so they so then they dry up.
00:15:36.03\00:15:39.57
And you know as well as I
do, those first three days
00:15:39.97\00:15:42.87
of breastfeeding are
incredibly important.
00:15:42.90\00:15:45.11
Yes.
00:15:45.14\00:15:45.91
and then first
six months is just
00:15:45.94\00:15:48.11
But that's that's brilliant
of the formula companies around
00:15:48.14\00:15:50.81
because then then,
yes, the rest is history.
00:15:50.85\00:15:53.38
But then what if the
women can't afford that?
00:15:53.42\00:15:56.05
Right. So we're back
to that whole cycle again.
00:15:56.08\00:15:58.52
Well,
00:15:58.55\00:15:58.82
not only
00:15:58.85\00:15:59.95
the women can't afford
that, but when they're making
00:16:00.06\00:16:01.89
the formula a lot of times,
well, they're using the water.
00:16:01.92\00:16:05.23
Right? Right. The water,
which isn't clean. Right.
00:16:05.26\00:16:07.86
And and bottles
that may not have been
00:16:07.86\00:16:10.87
you know, you know,
00:16:10.90\00:16:11.97
we we boil and everything
to keep the bottles clean.
00:16:12.00\00:16:14.94
So this is a whole like
00:16:14.97\00:16:17.41
literally getting to the
bottom of how these people
00:16:17.44\00:16:19.84
are doing things of
saying, you know what
00:16:19.87\00:16:21.74
you need to be looking at,
what are you eating women this.
00:16:21.78\00:16:25.75
So some training for
new moms, things like that.
00:16:25.78\00:16:28.88
So that's where
the Ultimate Mission
00:16:29.08\00:16:31.45
the women come in yet
again to be part of that.
00:16:31.49\00:16:34.86
So you're saying
that that is the precursor
00:16:35.22\00:16:37.43
then for the
evangelists to go series? Yes.
00:16:37.46\00:16:40.53
So so we go into
different villages.
00:16:40.56\00:16:43.06
Right now we have
five different churches.
00:16:43.10\00:16:46.47
I believe some
of them are working
00:16:46.60\00:16:48.20
in five
different villages. Right.
00:16:48.24\00:16:49.87
We've we've sent the
money and It is Written
00:16:49.90\00:16:51.91
has sent the money in
order to to do the feeding
00:16:51.94\00:16:55.01
and then they will
be working with them.
00:16:55.04\00:16:56.95
And I want to show you
a video real quick. Yes.
00:16:56.98\00:16:59.91
This is one feeding program
that we did a while back.
00:16:59.95\00:17:03.12
Okay.
00:17:03.15\00:17:03.62
So you see this
lady with their guitars?
00:17:52.43\00:17:54.00
Yeah, there at
the end. Okay, So.
00:17:54.04\00:17:55.97
So the other thing
that's done is they do
00:17:56.00\00:17:57.44
kind of a little
vacation Bible school
00:17:57.47\00:17:59.47
and they do Bible studies
and they do Jesus stories.
00:17:59.51\00:18:02.64
So from these programs,
we are going to invite people
00:18:02.68\00:18:05.91
to the evangelism
series. Wonderful.
00:18:05.95\00:18:08.08
And the thing is,
is what we want to do.
00:18:08.12\00:18:10.19
And this is what what
Ultimate Mission, healthy heart.
00:18:10.22\00:18:12.49
This is our whole focus is
we want to build a relationship
00:18:12.52\00:18:15.89
with people and tell people
we love you, we care about you.
00:18:15.92\00:18:19.76
We're not just
trying to, you know,
00:18:19.89\00:18:21.20
put a notch in our Bible
and get you to our church.
00:18:21.23\00:18:23.80
We really care about you.
00:18:23.83\00:18:25.30
And that's why we're
doing what we're doing.
00:18:25.33\00:18:27.30
And so, first of all, we
want to go in, show people
00:18:27.34\00:18:30.17
we love them,
we care about them.
00:18:30.21\00:18:32.41
And this is another part
00:18:32.44\00:18:33.54
about caring about you is
we want to show you Jesus.
00:18:33.58\00:18:36.81
Yeah.
00:18:37.38\00:18:38.35
Well, and that's what
that's what Jesus did.
00:18:38.38\00:18:40.55
So may he be the example,
obviously, to all of us,
00:18:40.58\00:18:44.32
and especially
feeding the children.
00:18:44.59\00:18:47.06
I just love that.
00:18:47.09\00:18:48.22
So how many workers
do we have in this area?
00:18:48.26\00:18:51.76
So we we have 42 workers
in the Philippines right now.
00:18:51.89\00:18:55.00
So and that is
00:18:55.03\00:18:56.53
within the last year
00:18:56.56\00:18:57.73
and a half, I
think we've just put
00:18:57.77\00:18:59.30
42 workers in there from
Gospel Outreach before Ultimate
00:18:59.33\00:19:03.14
Mission had trained
churches to do these programs,
00:19:03.17\00:19:07.54
but since we had Gospel Outreach
in us, has partnered together,
00:19:07.74\00:19:11.25
Gospel Outreach has
00:19:11.28\00:19:12.98
I don't know how
many Bible workers
00:19:13.01\00:19:14.65
that you have
in the Philippines,
00:19:14.68\00:19:16.12
but 42 of them, their
wives are all so Healthy
00:19:16.15\00:19:19.32
Heart workers.
00:19:19.35\00:19:20.59
Yeah, Well, and I think that I
think that that is so important.
00:19:20.62\00:19:23.16
But we hear the word 42 and we
think, Oh, isn't that wonderful?
00:19:23.19\00:19:26.33
We have 42 workers.
00:19:26.36\00:19:27.46
But Jim, the population
of the Philippines is. Yes.
00:19:27.50\00:19:31.40
And changing
daily by the second.
00:19:31.43\00:19:33.97
So what's the need?
00:19:34.00\00:19:36.64
Well, the need is
thousands, really.
00:19:36.67\00:19:38.91
It really is.
00:19:38.94\00:19:39.77
And just like
Bible workers, Right.
00:19:39.81\00:19:41.91
We could use as many
as we could possibly get.
00:19:41.94\00:19:44.88
You have logistical challenges
of training and this and that.
00:19:44.91\00:19:47.98
And and a lot of the problems
is we need funds, Right?
00:19:48.02\00:19:51.35
This can't be done for free.
00:19:52.19\00:19:53.29
The worker is
worthy of their hire.
00:19:53.32\00:19:54.82
We can't
00:19:54.86\00:19:56.02
ask these people to do this
work and not feed their family.
00:19:56.06\00:19:58.66
So we have to
pay them a stipend.
00:19:58.83\00:20:00.43
We got to give them the
money to be able to do this.
00:20:00.46\00:20:03.03
You know,
00:20:03.06\00:20:03.97
another really neat
thing I've I've watched
00:20:04.00\00:20:05.93
when these workers
00:20:05.97\00:20:06.50
have gotten together,
00:20:06.53\00:20:07.47
I don't think we've
focused on before, but
00:20:07.50\00:20:10.41
a woman was saying this
in one of the videos I saw.
00:20:10.44\00:20:13.51
She said, you know, when me
and my husband work together,
00:20:13.84\00:20:16.91
it helps our relationship. Yes.
00:20:17.08\00:20:19.05
Isn't that cool.
00:20:19.08\00:20:20.05
Yes. Well, yes,
because they've got the Lord
00:20:20.08\00:20:21.72
with them and they're
going out and helping people.
00:20:21.75\00:20:23.59
And that's a
wonderful testimony.
00:20:23.62\00:20:25.29
And may that be true of
all of us if you're married.
00:20:25.32\00:20:27.49
So. Absolutely.
00:20:27.52\00:20:28.99
So you brought up I'm talking
about the evangelistic series
00:20:29.02\00:20:32.29
and there's a verse that you
00:20:32.33\00:20:34.00
mentioned is is
important Psalm 31:24.
00:20:34.00\00:20:37.63
And it's here
00:20:37.97\00:20:39.07
be strong and take heart
all you who hope in the Lord.
00:20:39.10\00:20:42.40
So what does that mean to
you and for this area, Jim?
00:20:42.74\00:20:47.18
Well, every time you go
into a new area like this
00:20:48.64\00:20:51.45
and this is new for us,
00:20:51.48\00:20:53.75
we haven't done an
evangelism series yet.
00:20:53.78\00:20:56.85
There's all kinds of challenges.
00:20:57.12\00:20:59.65
There's all kinds of roadblocks
that are get thrown up.
00:20:59.69\00:21:02.29
There's there's a lot
of organizational things.
00:21:02.32\00:21:06.39
Yes. Logistics. Oh, my goodness.
00:21:06.43\00:21:08.86
And so you're
you're speaking to people
00:21:08.90\00:21:11.00
halfway around the
world in another language
00:21:11.03\00:21:13.00
and another
culture and another custom.
00:21:13.03\00:21:15.14
And it is it is so challenging.
00:21:15.17\00:21:18.01
But, you know,
00:21:18.04\00:21:18.91
you be strong in
the Lord and you trust
00:21:18.94\00:21:20.98
that God is going
to make this happen.
00:21:21.01\00:21:23.01
It probably will.
00:21:23.04\00:21:24.11
I guarantee you
it will not happen
00:21:24.15\00:21:26.18
the way you think
it's going to. Right.
00:21:26.21\00:21:28.32
But you know what?
00:21:28.35\00:21:29.82
It's going to
happen probably better.
00:21:29.85\00:21:31.55
And I have yet of I've
been doing this since 2011,
00:21:31.59\00:21:35.22
going to on
these mission projects.
00:21:35.26\00:21:38.03
And every time I go,
every single time so far
00:21:38.06\00:21:42.03
we've done more as much
or more than we plan to do.
00:21:42.16\00:21:45.27
And it is just amazing because
00:21:45.63\00:21:47.17
at first it looks
like it'll never happen.
00:21:47.20\00:21:49.20
It just looks
completely impossible.
00:21:49.24\00:21:50.81
Everything's falling apart.
00:21:50.84\00:21:52.14
Nobody's doing what they
said they're going to do.
00:21:52.17\00:21:53.98
Planes are canceled.
00:21:54.01\00:21:55.44
All this is all I've
had people cancel out and,
00:21:55.48\00:21:58.68
All kinds of things.
00:21:58.71\00:21:59.65
But you know what? It
just. It always works.
00:21:59.68\00:22:02.28
It always works.
00:22:02.32\00:22:03.45
So, I mean, you
just you be strong.
00:22:03.49\00:22:05.75
You just trust God and.
00:22:05.79\00:22:07.56
And you just take heart.
00:22:07.59\00:22:09.02
Well, Jim,
blessings to all of you.
00:22:09.06\00:22:11.36
And thank you for
partnering with us
00:22:11.39\00:22:12.93
and letting us partner with you
and this new arrangement with
00:22:12.96\00:22:16.03
It is Written.
00:22:16.06\00:22:16.93
And keep sharing that story
00:22:16.97\00:22:18.33
about how the Lord has
brought you around full circle.
00:22:18.37\00:22:22.57
Amen. Thank you.
00:22:22.60\00:22:23.87
Media plays a major
role in our society today,
00:22:25.74\00:22:28.11
and that comes
with a lot of negatives,
00:22:28.14\00:22:29.94
but it also comes
with some positives
00:22:29.98\00:22:31.88
for Christians as well.
00:22:31.91\00:22:33.42
You know,
00:22:33.45\00:22:34.68
Christians have been using media
and technology for a long time
00:22:34.72\00:22:37.05
to spread the gospel to the
world in such a rapid manner
00:22:37.09\00:22:40.42
like we've never
been able to do before.
00:22:40.46\00:22:42.59
Now, that's kind of one
of the positives about media,
00:22:42.62\00:22:46.29
but with all the different
media being produced and created
00:22:46.56\00:22:50.10
by Christian organizations,
there should be plenty out there
00:22:50.13\00:22:54.00
for us to be able to consume,
to watch, to become inspired.
00:22:54.04\00:22:57.51
But you know what happens
when somebody like myself
00:22:58.37\00:23:01.44
follows an
organization and I want to watch
00:23:01.48\00:23:03.58
a video produced
by that organization.
00:23:03.61\00:23:05.68
I want to learn
00:23:05.71\00:23:06.95
where my money is going when I'm
donating to that organization.
00:23:06.98\00:23:09.85
One of the first things
00:23:10.22\00:23:11.49
that I do is I open up YouTube
and I search that organization.
00:23:11.52\00:23:14.62
But you know what
happens before too long?
00:23:14.79\00:23:16.49
I'm off on a rabbit
trail watching videos
00:23:16.52\00:23:18.59
that I never planned
on actually watching.
00:23:18.63\00:23:20.96
I think this is a problem
that a lot of different people
00:23:20.96\00:23:23.67
run into, Christians
and non-Christians alike.
00:23:23.70\00:23:26.17
We are constantly
00:23:26.20\00:23:27.34
being bombarded and forced
fed different video content,
00:23:27.37\00:23:30.84
and that doesn't mean that that
content is specifically bad.
00:23:31.01\00:23:33.81
I mean, sometimes you're
00:23:33.84\00:23:35.01
watching cat videos on YouTube,
but is a cat video really
00:23:35.04\00:23:38.45
what you need to
be watching right now?
00:23:38.48\00:23:39.91
Is that really something
00:23:39.95\00:23:41.08
that is going to be good
for your brain in the long run?
00:23:41.12\00:23:44.15
Now, YouTube is a great
tool for spreading the gospel
00:23:44.19\00:23:46.69
and it's a great tool
for spreading the word
00:23:46.72\00:23:49.32
about your organization.
00:23:49.36\00:23:50.53
But what if you are a Christian
00:23:50.56\00:23:52.46
who is already
interested in foreign missions
00:23:52.49\00:23:55.60
and in Adventist
affiliated foreign missions?
00:23:55.63\00:23:58.83
But every single
time you open up YouTube,
00:23:59.20\00:24:01.40
you're getting distracted
by all these other things.
00:24:01.44\00:24:03.54
You're getting bombarded.
00:24:03.57\00:24:04.57
You really
00:24:04.61\00:24:05.77
don't want the YouTube app
even sitting on your smartphone.
00:24:05.81\00:24:08.84
What do you do?
00:24:08.88\00:24:10.08
Well, this is something that
we've been thinking about here
00:24:10.11\00:24:12.71
at Gospel Outreach
for a few years now.
00:24:12.75\00:24:14.82
And a couple of years
we moved forward in faith
00:24:14.85\00:24:17.19
and we started a
streaming service.
00:24:17.22\00:24:19.05
Now, for those of
you who are unsure
00:24:19.09\00:24:20.92
about what a
streaming streaming services
00:24:20.96\00:24:22.72
think about Netflix,
think about Amazon Prime.
00:24:22.76\00:24:25.86
We host content on
our streaming service
00:24:25.89\00:24:28.53
for other Adventist affiliated
organizations as well.
00:24:28.56\00:24:32.07
You know, we're all
working towards the same goal.
00:24:32.33\00:24:34.67
We're all working towards
00:24:34.70\00:24:35.77
spreading the gospel and
the message of Jesus Christ.
00:24:35.80\00:24:38.84
And so none of us
are in competition.
00:24:38.87\00:24:41.01
We should all be
working together as one.
00:24:41.04\00:24:43.58
And so by
00:24:43.61\00:24:44.75
creating this streaming service,
you can download the app.
00:24:44.78\00:24:47.48
We've heard from people
who have downloaded the app
00:24:47.62\00:24:50.52
who have said,
00:24:50.55\00:24:51.25
I discovered a new organization
00:24:51.29\00:24:53.19
that I didn't know
about on your platform.
00:24:53.22\00:24:55.72
And that's really exciting.
00:24:55.76\00:24:57.06
That's really personally
00:24:57.09\00:24:58.53
why I wanted to do
this in the first place
00:24:58.56\00:25:01.70
is because we want
people to be discovering
00:25:01.73\00:25:04.73
other
organizations and learning how
00:25:04.77\00:25:06.74
the message is moving forward
00:25:06.77\00:25:07.97
by all these amazing people
who are being led by the Lord.
00:25:08.00\00:25:11.07
We also want to
inspire other people
00:25:11.11\00:25:12.77
to get involved
with foreign missions.
00:25:12.81\00:25:14.88
So the streaming
service is called GOTV missions.
00:25:14.91\00:25:17.81
GOTV Missions.
00:25:17.85\00:25:19.88
You can download it
00:25:19.91\00:25:20.82
on your
smartphone, you can download it
00:25:20.85\00:25:22.28
on the Apple Store or
the Google Play store.
00:25:22.32\00:25:24.89
You can also download it
00:25:24.92\00:25:26.05
on your smart TV like
Roku, Apple TV, Fire Stick, etc.
00:25:26.09\00:25:29.99
You can also watch on the
00:25:30.03\00:25:30.96
website as well
directly on your computer.
00:25:30.99\00:25:34.20
But with this
app, our ultimate goal
00:25:34.23\00:25:37.73
is to bring
everyone together in unity,
00:25:37.77\00:25:41.57
to continue becoming
inspired and inspiring the next
00:25:41.77\00:25:46.47
generation to get involved
with foreign mission work.
00:25:46.51\00:25:49.81
So now when I want to sit down
and I want to consume some good
00:25:50.25\00:25:54.25
Christian content,
00:25:54.28\00:25:55.72
when I want to watch some videos
00:25:55.75\00:25:57.42
from one of my
favorite organizations,
00:25:57.45\00:25:59.75
I can open the GOTV
00:25:59.79\00:26:01.32
missions app on my phone
and I can consume that content
00:26:01.36\00:26:04.79
without getting absolutely
bombarded by the worldly content
00:26:04.99\00:26:09.03
and messages that are out
there on social media platforms
00:26:09.06\00:26:12.33
like YouTube,
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.
00:26:12.37\00:26:15.17
I can stay away from all of that
and I can put more of my focus
00:26:15.20\00:26:18.77
into watching content
that is going to continue
00:26:19.07\00:26:22.68
to spiritually fill me
and inspire me to be involved
00:26:22.71\00:26:25.85
with foreign missions.
00:26:25.88\00:26:26.88
So if you want to
watch adventures and missions
00:26:26.92\00:26:29.28
or if you want to watch
00:26:29.32\00:26:30.42
our new show, Destiny in
1040, or maybe our go minutes,
00:26:30.45\00:26:33.56
which are the short videos,
spiritual messages that we do,
00:26:33.59\00:26:36.62
maybe you want to
listen to some spiritual music,
00:26:36.89\00:26:39.86
go download the
app GOTV Missions,
00:26:39.89\00:26:43.47
download it on your phone,
00:26:43.50\00:26:44.67
download it on your
smart TV, and from there
00:26:44.70\00:26:47.44
you can watch content
from many other Adventist
00:26:47.47\00:26:50.21
affiliated organizations
00:26:50.24\00:26:51.71
and become inspired
in foreign mission work.
00:26:51.74\00:26:54.68
So thanks for
giving me this time
00:26:54.71\00:26:56.18
today and listening to
my rant about media. Again,
00:26:56.21\00:26:59.71
get out there and get involved.
00:27:00.08\00:27:01.68
I want to
encourage you to be involved.

Find your mission.
00:27:03.89\00:27:05.79
You can be a
missionary in your home,
00:27:05.82\00:27:07.56
in your church,
in your community,
00:27:07.59\00:27:09.62
or you can be a
00:27:09.66\00:27:10.86
missionary around the world,
but get involved in some way.
00:27:10.89\00:27:14.10
It will be a blessing to
you and it'll change your life.
00:27:14.30\00:27:17.50
So until next time, keep
your eyes focused on Jesus
00:27:17.77\00:27:20.60
and I'll talk to
you again next time.
00:27:20.64\00:27:22.10
We want to say
thank you for your prayers
00:27:23.74\00:27:25.34
and your support
here at Gospel Outreach.
00:27:25.37\00:27:27.61
And if you make
an online donation,
00:27:27.64\00:27:29.54
there is a dropdown menu
00:27:29.58\00:27:31.01
and you can actually
tag Adventures in Missions
00:27:31.05\00:27:33.68
and you can also put
that in the memo line.
00:27:33.72\00:27:35.42
So we say thank you for that.
00:27:35.45\00:27:37.02
Thank you again for watching and
may the Lord bless you today.
00:27:37.05\00:27:40.12
That was awesome.
00:28:22.46\00:28:23.83
Yeah, that was great.
00:28:23.87\00:28:25.43
I love that for how he
uses those things that you know
00:28:25.47\00:28:29.07
right at the end. I love it.
