00:00:02.03\00:00:03.20
coming together and knowing
you're making a difference.
00:00:03.23\00:00:06.10
Just praying.
00:00:06.13\00:00:07.04
Just. It's powerful prayer.
00:00:07.07\00:00:09.10
We minimize is how
important prayer is.
00:00:09.14\00:00:12.21
I don't have to be
healthy to be strong.
00:00:13.74\00:00:15.94
I don't have to
be rich or educated.
00:00:15.98\00:00:18.21
All I have to do is
have a willing heart to pray.
00:00:18.25\00:00:21.32
The only the
00:00:22.58\00:00:24.19
when we tell them of
Christ and of hope in Christ,
00:00:24.22\00:00:27.96
if we can tell our
people take the gospel
00:00:27.99\00:00:31.06
everlasting
gospel to the people,
00:00:31.23\00:00:34.36
those who live in
deep darkness without hope,
00:00:34.36\00:00:37.43
that will give
them hope to live.
00:00:38.37\00:00:40.77
There is a school on the
border of Myanmar and Thailand
00:00:40.80\00:00:43.74
by the name of Sunshine Orchards
00:00:43.77\00:00:46.04
Now, this school used to be
00:00:46.07\00:00:47.21
in the country of Myanmar,
but because of the dangers,
00:00:47.24\00:00:49.78
the school was moved
across the border to Thailand.
00:00:49.81\00:00:53.52
Hi, I'm Julie and welcome
to Adventures and Missions here
00:00:56.42\00:00:58.85
at Gospel Outreach
, where we share about
00:00:58.89\00:01:01.16
what Jesus is doing in the 1040
window from 10 to 40 degrees
00:01:01.19\00:01:05.49
north of the
equator from West Africa,
00:01:05.53\00:01:07.46
all the way through
the Middle East and Asia.
00:01:07.50\00:01:10.33
And today we're
going to be visiting
00:01:10.37\00:01:11.80
one of those countries with
Pastor Umesh, who is from Nepal,
00:01:11.83\00:01:15.44
and he's going to be sharing
00:01:15.64\00:01:16.77
not only his testimony, but
also about some of the needs
00:01:16.81\00:01:19.84
and what's going on with
the Gospel Outreach  worker
00:01:20.01\00:01:23.01
high in the mountains of Nepal.
00:01:23.04\00:01:24.85
Please stay tuned.
00:01:24.88\00:01:26.61
Gospel Outreach presents
00:01:26.65\00:01:28.82
Adventures in Missions.
00:01:28.85\00:01:31.92
There was there
was a friend of mine,
00:01:37.89\00:01:39.79
Julia Hogate, who when I
first kind of started here,
00:01:39.83\00:01:43.00
she came in to
the office and said,
00:01:43.33\00:01:46.17
you know, Brent, I don't
00:01:46.20\00:01:47.30
know if I have any skills
that would be helpful here.
00:01:47.34\00:01:49.84
She says, Is
there anything I can do,
00:01:49.87\00:01:52.67
you know, to be a
part of this ministry?
00:01:52.71\00:01:54.84
I said, Well,
Julia, what is it you
00:01:54.88\00:01:57.11
like to do?
00:01:58.01\00:01:59.35
She's says, I can pray.
00:01:59.38\00:02:01.08
I said, Well,
Julia, that's huge.
00:02:01.12\00:02:04.19
So I'm Cathy Desmond
and this is Julia Hogate,
00:02:18.53\00:02:21.60
and we are part
of the prayer team.
00:02:21.77\00:02:24.84
We have rallies
here once a year.
00:02:29.74\00:02:32.15
The first
00:02:32.18\00:02:34.08
week of October.
00:02:34.12\00:02:36.48
And so Julia and I started
to pray here in a little room.
00:02:36.52\00:02:40.99
That was the
only place we found.
00:02:41.02\00:02:42.92
So we hid in the little
room when we started to pray.
00:02:42.96\00:02:45.86
So that's how it started.
00:02:45.89\00:02:47.86
And then Brent said, Why
don't you make a prayer team?
00:02:47.86\00:02:50.97
So we did create a
prayer team little by little,
00:02:51.00\00:02:54.04
different people joined us.
00:02:54.07\00:02:57.07
When I came on board
here, Gospel Outreach ,
00:02:57.11\00:02:59.14
I knew that
because of my great need
00:02:59.17\00:03:02.21
and because of my lack of
experience in church work,
00:03:02.24\00:03:04.71
obviously we just
needed a prayer team to start.
00:03:04.75\00:03:08.15
Beverly Thompson just arrived,
welcome Beverly. Hey Beverly.
00:03:08.75\00:03:12.82
We meet at Gospel Outreach Build
00:03:13.09\00:03:16.16
but then a lot
of people can't meet
00:03:16.29\00:03:18.46
in the building at
12:30, so then they are on Zoom.
00:03:18.49\00:03:23.30
So we've been meeting
00:03:24.47\00:03:25.57
now since 2017.
00:03:25.60\00:03:28.67
The focus of of of Gospel Outrea
00:03:29.37\00:03:33.88
what, Its called the United Gosp
00:03:33.91\00:03:36.98
United is
because we are together
00:03:37.01\00:03:39.65
physically and also with Focus.
00:03:39.68\00:03:41.95
We focus on revival
00:03:41.98\00:03:43.99
the filling,
infilling of the Holy Spirit
00:03:44.02\00:03:46.42
and the saving of
souls in the 1040 window.
00:03:46.45\00:03:49.39
And also locally.
00:03:49.42\00:03:51.39
There's a promise for
you in Proverbs. Acknowledge
00:03:51.43\00:03:56.16
In all your ways acknowledge him
and he will direct your paths.
00:03:56.60\00:04:00.94
Amen
00:04:01.90\00:04:04.97
If there's any area
that's going to keep growing
00:04:08.84\00:04:10.78
in this
ministry, it's going to be
00:04:10.81\00:04:13.82
the awareness of
how important prayer is
00:04:15.18\00:04:18.25
for the success
of this ministry.
00:04:18.59\00:04:21.62
And Lord, what a
special thing that is
00:04:25.23\00:04:27.20
for the people that you go.
00:04:27.23\00:04:28.30
And I just pray a
blessing over that.
00:04:28.33\00:04:31.40
And Lord, I also have a request.
The thing that we appreciated
00:04:31.70\00:04:34.90
about Brant
becoming the new president
00:04:35.24\00:04:38.11
of the ministry was
he believed in prayer.
00:04:38.14\00:04:41.94
There's something about
00:04:43.98\00:04:45.08
coming together knowing
you're making a difference.
00:04:45.11\00:04:48.05
Just praying.
00:04:48.08\00:04:48.98
Just. It's powerful prayer.
00:04:49.02\00:04:51.05
We minimize how
important prayer is.
00:04:51.09\00:04:54.16
Jesus'
00:04:58.23\00:04:59.19
Prayer was for us to
press together and pray.
00:04:59.23\00:05:01.93
That was his commission.
00:05:02.23\00:05:04.10
So that is the commission
that we're we're I'm inviting
00:05:04.13\00:05:07.57
other people, as I
have been invited to join
00:05:07.60\00:05:11.01
Gospel Outreach .
00:05:11.27\00:05:14.34
You know, there's a lot
of people that are homebound.
00:05:15.88\00:05:18.08
I'm one of them.
00:05:18.11\00:05:19.38
Most of the time.
I'm I have to be home.
00:05:19.41\00:05:21.52
And but I don't have to
be healthy to be strong.
00:05:21.55\00:05:25.12
I don't have to
be rich or educated.
00:05:25.15\00:05:27.39
All I have to do is
have a willing heart to pray
00:05:27.42\00:05:29.86
and my prayers go up to heaven.
00:05:29.89\00:05:31.73
Our prayers go up to heaven.
00:05:31.76\00:05:33.06
There gets stored
there and angels record them.
00:05:33.09\00:05:36.33
And the minute we say a prayer,
the angels are in action.
00:05:36.63\00:05:40.34
That's pretty powerful.
00:05:40.87\00:05:41.97
It gives you a
sense of the world.
00:05:45.37\00:05:47.51
You're no longer
praying for your community,
00:05:47.54\00:05:49.51
your little my little world.
00:05:49.54\00:05:51.08
I am praying for.
00:05:51.11\00:05:52.25
And then the
director share with us
00:05:52.28\00:05:54.52
about India or Russia
or, you know, whatever it is
00:05:54.55\00:05:58.22
or, you know, you just
you have a sense of the world.
00:05:58.39\00:06:01.52
It's not the most glorified job.
00:06:07.20\00:06:09.66
You know,
sometimes it's inconvenient
00:06:09.70\00:06:11.77
to come down out
of your busy schedule
00:06:11.80\00:06:13.57
and sit down here for an
hour or 2 hours and pray.
00:06:13.60\00:06:16.74
And you don't get
any credit, right?
00:06:16.77\00:06:19.11
I mean,
00:06:19.14\00:06:20.28
no one really stands up in
front of our rallies and say,
00:06:20.31\00:06:22.51
thank you, prayer team.
00:06:22.54\00:06:23.71
You guys are the ones are
holding this ministry together.
00:06:23.75\00:06:25.81
But it's true.
00:06:25.85\00:06:27.62
It is them.
00:06:27.65\00:06:30.72
When I am overwhelmed,
00:06:31.85\00:06:33.42
you alone know
the way I should turn.
00:06:33.46\00:06:36.52
Prayer is is more
than prayer for me.
00:06:36.69\00:06:38.93
It's it's how I
live. It's my life.
00:06:38.96\00:06:41.66
It's not what I do.
00:06:41.70\00:06:42.60
It's how is my life.
00:06:42.63\00:06:44.20
Julia Hogate is,
00:06:47.20\00:06:50.14
such a powerful force
00:06:50.17\00:06:51.34
for this ministry
and for this valley
00:06:51.37\00:06:53.01
because of her
prayer commitment.
00:06:53.04\00:06:55.41
I just want to say
and the Desmonds too
00:06:55.44\00:06:58.51
I could go on and on and
on about some of this stuff.
00:06:58.95\00:07:01.88
And I'm just
00:07:01.92\00:07:03.32
I just feel so blessed to
be a part of this ministry.
00:07:03.35\00:07:05.85
I feel honored and privileged.
00:07:05.89\00:07:07.09
I mean, I don't know
what to say, you know?
00:07:07.12\00:07:10.19
Yeah.
00:07:10.69\00:07:11.59
How do you put it in
words that you're part
00:07:11.63\00:07:14.96
I, I think we're
very short sighted.
00:07:15.00\00:07:16.73
I don't think we
realize how huge it is
00:07:16.77\00:07:20.14
that we are part
00:07:20.74\00:07:22.57
of the salvation process,
the deliverance process,
00:07:22.60\00:07:26.31
the freedom and the
peace that we can offer others
00:07:26.68\00:07:29.58
through Jesus in prayer,
00:07:29.61\00:07:32.68
Pastor Umesh, you
come all the way from Nepal
00:07:56.67\00:07:59.67
to the Walla Walla
00:07:59.71\00:08:00.88
Valley here to Gospel Outreach ,
00:08:00.91\00:08:02.48
and we're so glad to
have you here. Thank you.
00:08:02.51\00:08:05.15
And can you tell our viewers
what your job is in Nepal?
00:08:05.18\00:08:08.58
I am the president
of the Nepal mission,
00:08:09.18\00:08:13.05
which is called
Himalayan section.
00:08:13.59\00:08:15.56
And my job is to look after
00:08:16.83\00:08:19.63
the church around Nepal.
00:08:19.66\00:08:22.70
And I've been involved
with the Gospel Outreach
00:08:23.40\00:08:26.47
since a long time.
00:08:26.63\00:08:28.04
So, Pastor Umesh,
00:08:28.07\00:08:29.14
tell me a little about
the hat that you're wearing.
00:08:29.17\00:08:32.01
Okay.
00:08:32.51\00:08:33.17
It's a typical Nepali costume
00:08:33.21\00:08:35.88
the people that wear hat.
00:08:36.48\00:08:38.98
This is our identity.
00:08:39.01\00:08:40.92
So, Pastor Umesh, tell us a
little bit about your history.
00:08:40.95\00:08:45.25
And you didn't
grow up as a Christian.
00:08:45.52\00:08:47.72
Did you? No
00:08:47.76\00:08:49.89
I was born and
brought up in a very strong
00:08:49.92\00:08:54.00
Hindu family in
eastern part of Nepal.
00:08:54.40\00:08:57.47
It is a mountain village.
00:08:57.90\00:08:59.73
And we had a
very, very hard life
00:08:59.77\00:09:04.64
because we didn't have
00:09:05.81\00:09:08.34
any modern transportations.
00:09:08.38\00:09:11.28
All this communication
and nothing was there.
00:09:11.31\00:09:15.42
And my
grandfather was a very strong
00:09:15.82\00:09:18.89
Hindu,
00:09:20.32\00:09:21.86
and we're from
priesthood family.
00:09:21.89\00:09:24.33
So he was a priest?
00:09:26.26\00:09:27.73
Yeah.
00:09:27.76\00:09:28.60
And every morning and evening
00:09:28.63\00:09:31.67
he would perform a
ritual and He would chant,
00:09:31.70\00:09:36.10
mantras, and do some pujas.
00:09:36.50\00:09:40.24
And before
00:09:41.14\00:09:42.88
eating.
00:09:42.91\00:09:44.15
And he was
00:09:44.18\00:09:47.25
training me also in that line.
00:09:48.72\00:09:51.75
But God had a different plan.
00:09:53.09\00:09:55.06
And when did you
first learn about Jesus?
00:09:55.09\00:09:57.96
When I was
00:09:57.99\00:10:00.16
doing my
00:10:00.20\00:10:02.70
11th grade
00:10:02.73\00:10:04.80
and in the city, I.
00:10:04.83\00:10:07.50
Somebody
00:10:07.54\00:10:10.14
gave me an address of this,
00:10:10.17\00:10:13.11
one of the Bible
correspondence schools.
00:10:13.14\00:10:16.24
And it was when
I enrolled in that
00:10:17.51\00:10:20.38
and it was a health
lesson for students.
00:10:20.42\00:10:23.79
And after I completed my
health, maybe 15 or 20 lessons,
00:10:24.89\00:10:29.46
then they started
sending me that religious alone
00:10:29.49\00:10:33.46
lessons.
00:10:34.93\00:10:36.43
I completed that that course,
00:10:36.46\00:10:39.53
and then I didn't
pay much attention.
00:10:40.04\00:10:43.00
Then I moved to Kathmandu.
00:10:43.04\00:10:45.54
And but that was the beginning
00:10:45.57\00:10:48.64
for me to know
a little bit about
00:10:49.01\00:10:52.48
Christ and Bible.
00:10:53.75\00:10:55.28
So have you heard anything about
Jesus in your village at all
00:10:55.32\00:10:58.69
before then?
00:10:58.72\00:10:59.39
No, nothing. So.
00:10:59.42\00:11:00.79
You were in 11th grade.
00:11:00.82\00:11:02.52
And when you
finally heard about.
00:11:02.56\00:11:04.23
About Jesus. Yeah.
00:11:04.26\00:11:05.79
So as we talk about
00:11:05.83\00:11:07.23
where you have come from
and then what you're doing now.
00:11:07.23\00:11:10.70

00:11:11.23\00:11:14.74
and some of the
00:11:14.77\00:11:15.90
challenges that they face
just getting to their churches
00:11:15.94\00:11:18.94
with the the roads
and the difficulty.
00:11:19.47\00:11:23.11
But tell us a little bit about
your Gospel Outreach workers.
00:11:23.75\00:11:26.82
Gospel Outreach has been
00:11:27.28\00:11:29.45
a great support
for our work in Nepal
00:11:29.48\00:11:32.55
without Gospel Outreach, support
00:11:33.76\00:11:36.76
I don't think God's work
would move. And Gospel Outreach
00:11:36.79\00:11:41.06
Volunteers and workers
are the one who are frontline.
00:11:41.10\00:11:45.03
Those who are taking
looking after the churches.
00:11:46.10\00:11:49.00
Yes, I mean, they are the one
00:11:49.04\00:11:51.17
who scatter all over the Nepal
00:11:52.47\00:11:55.54
and doing their best.
00:11:56.44\00:11:58.68
We have a 58 Gospel Outreach vol
00:11:58.71\00:12:01.32
58, ok. 58.
00:12:01.35\00:12:04.19
And all of them
are doing very good.
00:12:04.22\00:12:07.29
Most of this
this Gospel Outreach
00:12:07.79\00:12:10.69
volunteers are
stationed in remote
00:12:10.73\00:12:13.90
villages of Nepal
00:12:14.36\00:12:17.30
and some of the village to raise
00:12:17.33\00:12:20.57
from where I live in Kathmandu.
00:12:20.77\00:12:22.44
It will take about
two, three days for me. Yes.
00:12:22.47\00:12:25.64
Now we've heard about Singerman
00:12:25.67\00:12:27.48
on Destination
10/40 with Aaron and Lexi.
00:12:27.51\00:12:30.31
And I have to say,
Pastor Umesh, watching that man.
00:12:30.35\00:12:34.12
And when you said three
days, that's how long it takes
00:12:34.15\00:12:37.52
for you to get
to his house. Right.
00:12:37.55\00:12:40.26
And we want to encourage
our viewers to watch Destination
00:12:40.29\00:12:43.36
10/40 and to see Singerman.
00:12:43.53\00:12:45.26
But literally three days by car.
00:12:45.29\00:12:47.66
Yeah. And
00:12:47.73\00:12:49.00
you cannot
00:12:50.00\00:12:50.93
imagine how situation
over there you know the
00:12:50.97\00:12:55.24
the place the
house the facilities. Yes
00:12:56.10\00:13:00.68
Or lack of facilities.
Yes, lack of facilities.
00:13:01.68\00:13:04.81
beyond beyond our imagination
because those who are living in
00:13:05.01\00:13:08.65
them in us are
either double of country
00:13:08.68\00:13:11.85
and they would not have
00:13:12.35\00:13:14.82
imagine how bad situation.
00:13:14.86\00:13:18.33
Well, and I want to say that
that that is what our goal is
00:13:18.46\00:13:22.40
here at Gospel Outreach
00:13:22.43\00:13:23.70
is to share with our viewers
00:13:23.73\00:13:25.90
what these Gospel Outreach worke
00:13:25.93\00:13:28.64
and the and the
challenges that they face.
00:13:28.67\00:13:31.34
But with the power of God
00:13:31.37\00:13:33.17
and through the support of
our Gospel Outreach donors,
00:13:33.21\00:13:36.58
these dear people like Singermen
are able to go out there.
00:13:36.95\00:13:40.08
And I've seen a
little bit like I shared,
00:13:40.12\00:13:41.92
having been at
the base camp of Mt.
00:13:41.95\00:13:43.42
Everest, but not only
difficulty getting there,
00:13:43.45\00:13:46.42
but what happens if
our Gospel Outreach workers
00:13:46.45\00:13:49.76
are they rejected like
you were with your family?
00:13:49.79\00:13:52.36
Yeah, many times,
many places, because of,
00:13:52.39\00:13:56.10
you know, when the Gospel Outrea
00:13:56.36\00:13:59.47
when they go when take
and they take the gospel
00:13:59.50\00:14:02.80
to another village.
Yes, they work through the
00:14:02.84\00:14:06.54
the relation. Okay.
00:14:06.94\00:14:08.08
If you have someone related
to you in another village,
00:14:08.11\00:14:11.91
they try to go to that
relation and a friendship also,
00:14:12.31\00:14:15.78
Relationship, Yes.
00:14:15.82\00:14:16.89
Yes. And many times our
Gospel Outreach volunteers
00:14:16.92\00:14:21.16
were rejected by
people because they think
00:14:21.19\00:14:24.76
that they are trying.
00:14:25.86\00:14:27.00
We are trying to invade.
00:14:27.03\00:14:28.80
Yes. They're a threat
00:14:28.83\00:14:30.60
to trade for them
because people know that
00:14:30.63\00:14:33.74
some groups are
coming in our country.
00:14:35.44\00:14:37.31
And so I can see
00:14:37.34\00:14:39.07
they are telling the they want
to protect their culture. Yes.
00:14:39.11\00:14:43.24
And they want to
protect their religion.
00:14:43.28\00:14:45.71
Yes. Identity.
00:14:45.75\00:14:47.05
And they think they're,
00:14:47.08\00:14:48.65
when we became a
Christian, we lose our right.
00:14:48.68\00:14:51.49
Then everything else goes,
yeah, but that is not true.
00:14:51.52\00:14:54.59
And everybody
has a right to choose
00:14:54.76\00:14:57.83
and people live in our
country in very deep darkness
00:14:58.36\00:15:02.56
without hope. socially.
00:15:03.16\00:15:06.10
People are depressed,
mentally depressed, financially,
00:15:06.13\00:15:09.80
they are very weak, and
they don't see the hope.
00:15:10.07\00:15:13.98
And the only the when
we tell them about Christ
00:15:14.41\00:15:19.88
and the hope in Christ,
if we can tell our people,
00:15:19.91\00:15:22.98
take the gospel,
everlasting gospel
00:15:23.02\00:15:26.09
to the people, those who live
in deep darkness without hope,
00:15:26.39\00:15:30.49
that will give them hope
to live And Gospel Outreach.
00:15:31.53\00:15:34.76
volunteer are the
agents. The agents for the hope.
00:15:34.83\00:15:39.17
And they take that,
00:15:39.20\00:15:40.00
good news
00:15:40.04\00:15:43.04
to the people in dark place.
00:15:43.07\00:15:46.11
So it's like a switch
goes off and somebody.
00:15:46.14\00:15:48.48
Is that right?
00:15:48.51\00:15:49.31
That that
00:15:49.34\00:15:50.31
when you don't have
hope, but you have someone
00:15:50.35\00:15:52.45
who is coming to
give you good news.
00:15:52.48\00:15:54.22
Yeah, there's hope.
00:15:54.25\00:15:55.42
And have you seen that with
the with the people in Nepal?
00:15:55.45\00:15:58.22
Yeah, I have seen an experienced
00:15:58.25\00:16:00.69
I have seen and experienced
00:16:00.72\00:16:03.19
this hope how and
Gospel Outreac workers
00:16:03.22\00:16:08.00
have transformed
this hope to other people
00:16:08.03\00:16:11.77
and their lives
has been transformed.
00:16:11.80\00:16:13.50
Yeah, that's
what biblical hope is.
00:16:13.54\00:16:16.37
The expectation
that something is good
00:16:16.40\00:16:18.94
is going to happen from God
00:16:18.97\00:16:20.54
and through us to
somebody else. Yes.
00:16:20.58\00:16:23.04
So in Matthew 28,
the Great Commission,
00:16:23.08\00:16:26.01
tell me about what that
means to the people of Nepal,
00:16:26.05\00:16:29.18
who God says it is for everyone.
00:16:29.75\00:16:31.72
Go and tell. Go.
00:16:31.75\00:16:33.22
every place,
00:16:34.49\00:16:35.86
every nation means
we'll all part of Nepal
00:16:35.89\00:16:39.23
and tell them what
about Jesus Tell them.
00:16:39.79\00:16:43.16
about Jesus,
00:16:43.20\00:16:45.33
Jesus, is the hope
00:16:45.37\00:16:47.37
for people they don't know.
00:16:47.40\00:16:49.37
That Jesus loves
00:16:49.40\00:16:51.61
all people of Nepal.
00:16:51.64\00:16:53.94
They also don't know.
00:16:53.98\00:16:55.18
What do we need to go
00:16:55.21\00:16:56.41
and tell them that Jesus is
love and Jesus has commanded us?
00:16:56.44\00:17:00.38
There is a great commission
We all need to go and tell
00:17:00.52\00:17:03.99
about Jesus,
teach them about Jesus
00:17:04.02\00:17:06.99
and bring them into
his fold by baptizing them.
00:17:07.02\00:17:10.76
Okay?
00:17:11.63\00:17:12.73
And Jesus has assured
that He is with us at the end.
00:17:12.76\00:17:15.43
To the end, Absolutely.
00:17:16.03\00:17:18.23
Always, always, always.
00:17:18.27\00:17:20.84
So, Pastor Umesh,
00:17:20.87\00:17:22.07
someone is listening to us right
now as we are sitting here.
00:17:22.10\00:17:26.07
And what is something
that you would like to ask
00:17:26.51\00:17:30.35
or to request of a viewer
00:17:30.38\00:17:33.42
that would help
the people of Nepal?
00:17:34.22\00:17:36.55
I would like to
request our viewers
00:17:37.55\00:17:40.66
to pray for Nepal.
00:17:40.69\00:17:43.09
And the second thing is,
00:17:43.12\00:17:45.83
we need more Gospel Outreach vol
00:17:45.86\00:17:50.20
there are more than 123
00:17:51.50\00:17:54.70
languages spoken groups,
00:17:56.10\00:17:58.27
123 languages.
00:17:58.31\00:18:00.88
And we have so many different
00:18:00.91\00:18:04.11
indigenous groups
also, there are these groups
00:18:05.55\00:18:09.68
need to hear about Jesus
00:18:09.72\00:18:12.79
and these groups are
00:18:13.22\00:18:15.99
scattered in the
remote places in Nepal
00:18:16.02\00:18:20.23
and they need to hear
about Jesus so that we need
00:18:20.26\00:18:24.17
a more Gospel Outreach and we ne
00:18:24.20\00:18:27.27
have meetings
00:18:28.00\00:18:30.31
like courthouse meetings
00:18:30.34\00:18:33.17
and house meetings
for for new believers
00:18:33.21\00:18:38.01
or a new interest
people to bring into our fold.
00:18:38.05\00:18:40.85
And we need a more
Gospel Outreach volunteer
00:18:40.88\00:18:43.32
so that they can go
to different places.
00:18:43.35\00:18:46.42
Particularly, we need to train
or we need to find a person
00:18:47.39\00:18:51.59
from that community.
00:18:52.09\00:18:53.53
Yes. Okay.
00:18:53.56\00:18:54.40
And that will that
will give us a solid
00:18:54.46\00:18:57.83
foundation. Yes.
00:18:59.10\00:19:00.77
And if we have one
community like the mother,
00:19:00.80\00:19:04.87
that is a one tribe.
And then we want to reach
00:19:05.17\00:19:09.91
to far western Nepal, we
first need to raise the mothe
00:19:09.94\00:19:14.08
Yeah.
00:19:14.35\00:19:15.22
And if we have a
mother in that area,
00:19:15.25\00:19:18.32
and we want to
00:19:18.62\00:19:19.72
reach a people of that
area, we need a local person.
00:19:19.75\00:19:22.69
And that will help us. Yes.
00:19:23.19\00:19:25.26
To go and reach many people. Yes
00:19:25.29\00:19:27.56
So what is the
population of Nepal?
00:19:27.60\00:19:30.63
about 30 million.
00:19:31.00\00:19:32.40
30 million.
00:19:32.43\00:19:33.57
And we have 58 Gospel Outreach w
00:19:33.60\00:19:36.67
Okay, well, the
viewers can do the math.
00:19:36.94\00:19:39.14
Yeah, we need more Gospel Outrea
00:19:39.17\00:19:41.74
But in a country like Nepal,
we need more people to know
00:19:41.78\00:19:45.31
about Jesus,
00:19:45.35\00:19:46.41
because then we need to have
00:19:46.45\00:19:47.62
more Gospel Outreach workers
to help then go share Jesus.
00:19:47.65\00:19:50.99
Yeah.
00:19:51.02\00:19:52.02
So you've shared that
pastor Umesh and what does
00:19:52.05\00:19:55.99
Jesus what does he
mean to you personally?
00:19:56.02\00:19:59.09
Personally, Jesus
00:19:59.66\00:20:01.00
means everything for me.
00:20:02.43\00:20:03.90
You know, I have experience
how God has led me in the past.
00:20:03.93\00:20:09.20
If I compare my life
00:20:09.67\00:20:12.44
when I was without Jesus,
00:20:12.47\00:20:15.54
I was in my own religion.
00:20:15.81\00:20:20.42
And now when I
compare my life with Jesus, so
00:20:20.78\00:20:23.85
there is a big difference.
00:20:24.69\00:20:27.56
And if you have Jesus
00:20:27.59\00:20:30.33
in our life, if we have Jesus,
00:20:30.36\00:20:32.89
in our life we are
free from this world,
00:20:32.93\00:20:35.93
and if we have a Jesus in
your life, we have a hope.
00:20:35.96\00:20:39.03
And people in this
generation, they need a hope
00:20:40.24\00:20:43.24
because you we have
everything we can see,
00:20:44.07\00:20:47.04
all things because of
00:20:47.08\00:20:50.08
science and
technology and advancement
00:20:50.35\00:20:52.48
of all of these things.
00:20:52.51\00:20:53.31
We have all
gadgets, all equipment.
00:20:53.35\00:20:56.55
A luxurious life. Theres still p
00:20:56.95\00:20:59.22
live in very pathetic
condition without hope.
00:20:59.25\00:21:02.66
That is the most needed thing
that we all need to have a hope.
00:21:03.19\00:21:06.43
Hope is in Jesus only
what I experience, what I see.
00:21:06.66\00:21:10.57
Well, thank you
so much for sharing
00:21:11.43\00:21:13.47
and thank you so much for
sharing the needs of Nepal.
00:21:13.50\00:21:16.34
And when you head
home after being here,
00:21:16.37\00:21:19.01
would you please greet
00:21:19.04\00:21:20.51

And I would love to meet
Singerman sometime and please
00:21:22.88\00:21:26.01
greet them all.
00:21:26.05\00:21:27.08
And we want to pass on
our love to all of them.
00:21:27.12\00:21:30.02
So please continue
to give them the the
00:21:30.05\00:21:34.26
encouragement
from us to continue
00:21:34.72\00:21:36.32
to share the hope of Jesus.
00:21:36.36\00:21:38.13
Sure, at last, I would
like to thank Gospel Outreach
00:21:38.16\00:21:41.76
for supporting His mission.
00:21:43.57\00:21:46.74
It is his mission,
and we are,  his agents.
00:21:47.40\00:21:50.51
to fulfill his mission.
00:21:50.54\00:21:52.64
Yes, And Gospel Outreach has bee

00:21:56.31\00:22:00.55
those who are here
in the Gospel Outreach .
00:22:00.58\00:22:02.95
Without your prayer and support,
00:22:02.98\00:22:05.42
we cannot reach that area.
00:22:05.45\00:22:08.19
And I'll I'll be visiting
00:22:08.22\00:22:10.89
Singerman in the
month of November.
00:22:10.93\00:22:13.73
We are planning
00:22:13.76\00:22:15.06
and I will convey your regards
00:22:15.10\00:22:18.20
to him and other
Gospel Outreach volunteers,
00:22:18.23\00:22:21.04
and they need
encouragement. Yes.
00:22:21.07\00:22:23.34
And they need your prayers. Yes.
00:22:23.37\00:22:25.71
And we are praying for them.
00:22:25.74\00:22:27.21
And do you do this in
Nepal when you do this?
00:22:27.24\00:22:29.94
Yeah.
00:22:29.98\00:22:30.55
So what does this mean?
00:22:30.58\00:22:31.85
It is a greetings that you are
you are humbling yourself. Yes.
00:22:31.88\00:22:34.98
Well, I want to say that.
00:22:35.78\00:22:37.12
So thank you and God
bless you, Pastor Umesh.
00:22:37.15\00:22:40.06
Thank you.
00:22:40.09\00:22:40.62
On my drive into the
00:22:41.76\00:22:42.86
Gospel Outreach
headquarters this morning,
00:22:42.89\00:22:44.56
I was trying to decide
what I wanted to share with you.
00:22:44.59\00:22:46.93
And something came to my mind
that I really would like to talk
00:22:46.96\00:22:49.90
to you about today.
00:22:49.93\00:22:51.17
I want to share with
you about a new project
00:22:51.20\00:22:53.23
that Gospel Outreach has gotten
00:22:53.27\00:22:55.04
with on the border
of Thailand and Myanmar.
00:22:55.07\00:22:57.51
So as you know,
Gospel Outreach's main
00:22:57.54\00:22:59.61
goal is to sponsor Bible workers
throughout the 1040 window,
00:22:59.64\00:23:03.41
sharing the love of Jesus
to the people in those areas.
00:23:03.55\00:23:06.61
But there are oftentimes
places where we are unable
00:23:06.82\00:23:09.68
to effectively
send a Bible worker.
00:23:09.72\00:23:11.85
Maybe it's too dangerous,
maybe it's too difficult.
00:23:11.89\00:23:14.66
And so we look for alternative
00:23:14.69\00:23:16.46
ways to be able to
reach those places.
00:23:16.49\00:23:18.49
Well, we recently
found one of these
00:23:18.53\00:23:20.26
situations on the
border of Thailand and Myanmar.
00:23:20.30\00:23:23.40
Now, if you don't
know a lot about Myanmar,
00:23:23.43\00:23:25.33
the name of
Myanmar used to be Burma.
00:23:25.37\00:23:27.77
And if you've heard about
the storyteller, Eric B Hare.
00:23:27.80\00:23:30.14
This is where all of
his stories came from
00:23:30.17\00:23:32.61
was the country of Burma,
which is now called Myanmar.
00:23:32.64\00:23:35.71
Now Myanmar has been
at war for over 75 years.
00:23:35.84\00:23:39.95
The Burmese
00:23:39.98\00:23:41.15
military essentially are
trying to completely eradicate
00:23:41.18\00:23:44.52
the hill tribes, and so many
thousands of people are being
00:23:44.55\00:23:48.26
killed right now as we
speak in the country of Myanmar.
00:23:48.29\00:23:52.13
This is a very sad reality
00:23:52.39\00:23:54.00
that's been going
on for a long time.
00:23:54.00\00:23:55.73
And many people
don't know about it
00:23:55.76\00:23:57.30
because no media outlets
are really talking about this.
00:23:57.33\00:24:00.67
Now. Where does Gospel Outreach
00:24:00.84\00:24:02.97
Well, it's far too
difficult to send Bible workers
00:24:03.00\00:24:05.67
into the country of
Myanmar right now as we speak.
00:24:05.71\00:24:09.64
But we have found
00:24:09.91\00:24:11.15
an effective way to be able
to reach the people of Myanmar.
00:24:11.18\00:24:14.28
There is a school on the
border of Myanmar and Thailand
00:24:14.68\00:24:17.59
by the name of Sunshine Orchards
00:24:17.62\00:24:19.89
Now, this school used to be
00:24:19.92\00:24:21.06
in the country of Myanmar,
but because of the dangers,
00:24:21.09\00:24:23.66
the school was moved
across the border to Thailand.
00:24:23.69\00:24:27.40
There are two jungle schools
that are also across the border
00:24:27.60\00:24:30.63
in Myanmar that is connected
with Sunshine Orchards.
00:24:30.67\00:24:34.00
And so between
all of these schools,
00:24:34.27\00:24:36.37
they have the potential
to reach many, many students.
00:24:36.40\00:24:40.14
Now, here's some
statistics for you.
00:24:40.18\00:24:41.74
70% of the students
going to Sunshine Orchards
00:24:41.78\00:24:45.31
are Buddhist and
over 15% are animist.
00:24:45.55\00:24:49.18
So a large majority of these
students are not Christian.
00:24:49.42\00:24:52.75
Now, 90% of the
students coming to the school
00:24:53.02\00:24:56.26
are crossing the border
from Myanmar into Thailand
00:24:56.29\00:25:00.16
and going to
Sunshine Orchard School.
00:25:00.20\00:25:02.20
This is the only option
for many of these students
00:25:02.23\00:25:05.07
to be able to get
a proper education.
00:25:05.10\00:25:07.10
And that is why the
Thai government has allowed
00:25:07.14\00:25:09.24
these students to
come across the border
00:25:09.27\00:25:11.37
and to go to school at Sunshine
00:25:11.41\00:25:14.04
Now, Sunshine Orchards has
always slowly been growing,
00:25:14.08\00:25:17.58
but over the past few years,
00:25:17.61\00:25:18.91
because of the escalation
of the war across the border
00:25:18.95\00:25:22.28
in Myanmar, it has
grown very quickly.
00:25:22.32\00:25:25.49
Last year there were just over
00:25:25.62\00:25:27.42
300 students and this year
there are over 600 students.
00:25:27.46\00:25:31.43
It has doubled in a
year. Because of this,
00:25:31.46\00:25:34.36
Sunshine Orchards has a
great need for more teachers.
00:25:34.40\00:25:38.57
So this is where Gospel Outreach
00:25:38.80\00:25:40.40
seen an opportunity to
reach the people of Myanmar.
00:25:40.44\00:25:44.04
So we are now sponsoring
between the three schools,
00:25:44.31\00:25:47.58
Sunshine Orchards and
the two jungle schools
00:25:47.61\00:25:49.74
across the border.
00:25:49.78\00:25:50.98
We are sponsoring 40 teachers.
00:25:51.01\00:25:54.08
All of these
teachers are Adventist
00:25:54.32\00:25:56.12
and all of these teachers
00:25:56.15\00:25:57.29
use the Bible as their
base for teaching the children.
00:25:57.32\00:26:00.72
Many of these students
00:26:01.09\00:26:02.12
have never really even
heard who Jesus Christ is.
00:26:02.16\00:26:05.66
And so we are bringing a
message to these young people
00:26:05.69\00:26:08.83
that they have
never heard before.
00:26:08.86\00:26:10.37
And because of this,
00:26:10.40\00:26:12.13
many of these students
have given their lives to Jesus.
00:26:12.17\00:26:14.80
And when they go
across the border
00:26:14.84\00:26:16.54
back to their home
after, after their education,
00:26:16.57\00:26:19.64
they will be sharing this
hope of Jesus with their family
00:26:19.84\00:26:22.94
and their friends.
00:26:22.98\00:26:24.18
In sponsoring these teachers,
we are spreading the gospel
00:26:24.21\00:26:27.02
to the people of
Myanmar in a very effective way.
00:26:27.05\00:26:30.15
And maybe one of the
00:26:30.19\00:26:31.32
only ways to do it for the
time being during this war.
00:26:31.35\00:26:34.89
So I have two things I
want to ask of you before
00:26:35.06\00:26:37.23
I let you go.
00:26:37.26\00:26:38.09
Number one, I
want to ask you to pray
00:26:38.13\00:26:39.66
for these teachers, pray
00:26:39.69\00:26:40.86
for these 40
teachers who are working
00:26:40.90\00:26:43.10
in rough circumstances
and rough conditions
00:26:43.13\00:26:45.70
in order to educate these
children, to give these children
00:26:45.73\00:26:49.27
a chance at a better life
and sharing Jesus with them
00:26:49.30\00:26:52.64
so that they can take that
message back to their families.
00:26:52.67\00:26:55.74
I also want to ask you to
pray for the people of Myanmar.
00:26:55.91\00:26:58.85
What's going on right now in
00:26:58.88\00:27:00.22
this country is
incredibly devastating.
00:27:00.25\00:27:03.95
We know people
who are in prison.
00:27:03.99\00:27:05.85
We know people
who have been killed.
00:27:05.89\00:27:08.36
And it's just a
very bad situation.
00:27:08.39\00:27:10.86
And for many
people, they don't know
00:27:10.89\00:27:12.63
what's going on there
because the media doesn't
00:27:12.66\00:27:14.93
really talk about the situation
of what's happening in Myanmar.
00:27:14.93\00:27:18.53
So please pray for these people,
00:27:18.57\00:27:20.54
pray that they give their hearts
to Jesus, that they are given
00:27:20.57\00:27:23.61
the opportunity to learn about
the love and hope of Jesus.
00:27:23.64\00:27:27.78
So I want to thank
you for your continued
00:27:28.04\00:27:29.74
support of Gospel Outreach throu
00:27:29.78\00:27:32.85
through prayers,
Everything is so important
00:27:32.88\00:27:35.42
and like me and my
wife, we are so committed to

throughout the 1040 window.
00:27:44.89\00:27:46.59
So thank you for
being involved with that.
