So Blue Mountain Television
00:00:02.13\00:00:03.23
is located in
Walla Walla, Washington.
00:00:03.26\00:00:06.33
We're headed to do some filming
00:00:06.77\00:00:08.57
for a hometown show.
00:00:08.60\00:00:11.67
I love that we're getting
out into the field with it.
00:00:12.11\00:00:15.18
I don't know
00:00:16.54\00:00:17.68
exactly when we started
airing Adventures in Missions.
00:00:17.71\00:00:20.18
way back.
00:00:21.12\00:00:24.19
He's been a minister in
his church for 40 years.
00:00:25.55\00:00:28.56
And so, I mean,
this man is dedicated.
00:00:28.59\00:00:31.13
He has lived his entire life,
00:00:31.16\00:00:33.09
you know,
serving his congregation.
00:00:33.13\00:00:35.06
His goal is to reach other
congregations with the Sabbath.
00:00:35.10\00:00:39.83
And he's talked
to the president.
00:00:39.87\00:00:41.24
He's talked to
all the main leaders,
00:00:41.27\00:00:43.44
and they listen very politely.
00:00:43.47\00:00:45.84
They don't disagree with him.
00:00:45.87\00:00:48.08
But it's a big cost to
change what you have done.
00:00:48.11\00:00:53.11
My wife and
00:00:53.15\00:00:54.35
I actually recently returned
from a trip in Papua, Indonesia,
00:00:54.38\00:00:57.79
and we were just amazed at
the work that's happening there.
00:00:57.92\00:01:01.06
This is an exciting new
frontier for Gospel Outreach.
00:01:01.46\00:01:04.53
We are reaching out to very
00:01:04.56\00:01:06.63
remote areas that are
in desperate need of Jesus.
00:01:06.66\00:01:10.33
Welcome to
Adventures in Missions.
00:01:11.80\00:01:13.10
I'm Julie and it's
so great to have you
00:01:13.13\00:01:15.10
as a part of our family here
00:01:15.14\00:01:16.60
at Gospel Outreach, as we
share Jesus in the 1040 window.
00:01:16.64\00:01:20.28
Gospel Outreach
presents Adventures
00:01:20.64\00:01:23.95
in Missions.
00:01:23.98\00:01:27.05
So Blue Mountain
Television is located
00:01:41.00\00:01:42.73
in Walla Walla, Washington.
00:01:42.76\00:01:43.97
We've just bought a Baptist
church that we are converting
00:01:44.00\00:01:48.07
into studio space.
00:01:48.10\00:01:49.67
And has office
space in it as well.
00:01:49.70\00:01:52.67
It's already out there.
00:01:52.71\00:01:54.94
There's none in the cameras,
so we'll have to load up
00:01:54.98\00:01:58.41
them up when we get in.
00:01:58.45\00:02:01.58
My name is Lowell Man.
00:02:03.12\00:02:04.22
I'm the content delivery
manager here after the mountain.
00:02:04.25\00:02:06.69
Television.
00:02:06.72\00:02:07.99
Blue Mountain Television
has been a great supporter
00:02:08.02\00:02:10.59
of Gospel Outreach
by airing our TV shows.
00:02:10.63\00:02:13.70
I have the
opportunity of hosting
00:02:13.73\00:02:15.36
shows on both Blue Mountain
Television and Gospel Outreach.
00:02:15.40\00:02:18.80
It's a joy to be able
to share the love of Jesus
00:02:19.53\00:02:22.50
through these shows.
00:02:22.54\00:02:24.37
So we got the three monitors.
00:02:24.41\00:02:25.84
We're in Dayton, Washington.
00:02:32.61\00:02:34.58
We're headed to do some
filming for  hometown show.
00:02:34.62\00:02:38.69
we started hometown
in the fall of 2023.
00:02:39.39\00:02:43.43
So we're still in season
one, and we're headed down here
00:02:43.46\00:02:47.00
first.
00:02:47.03\00:02:50.07
I was going to say.
00:02:50.70\00:02:51.67
We're just left.
00:02:51.70\00:02:54.77
We are on location for hometown.
00:02:58.01\00:03:00.74
Blue Mountain
Television's a new TV show.
00:03:00.78\00:03:03.24
I'm here with
Carmen and the whole crew,
00:03:03.28\00:03:05.55
and we've had a great
time, haven't we, Carmen have?
00:03:05.58\00:03:08.25
Yeah.
00:03:08.28\00:03:08.82
And so we've been able
00:03:08.85\00:03:10.05
to be here today on location
with Blue Mountain Television.
00:03:10.09\00:03:12.55
And it's awesome to be part
of Blue Mountain Television.
00:03:12.59\00:03:14.99
I've been doing
this for a long time,
00:03:15.02\00:03:16.96
and it's really great
to have this new show.
00:03:16.99\00:03:20.06
You've got kind of that in
the background of the one shot.
00:03:20.53\00:03:23.13
You might have to pull
this up closer a little bit.
00:03:23.16\00:03:25.57
The goal of
hometown is to connect
00:03:25.60\00:03:27.64
with our own community
right here where we live.
00:03:27.67\00:03:30.24
What are they excited
about? What matters to them?
00:03:30.27\00:03:32.97
It feels like we could do like
a bulk of an interview here.
00:03:33.01\00:03:36.01
And take one
00:03:38.18\00:03:40.15
on the historical register.
00:03:40.18\00:03:41.82
I love that
00:03:43.99\00:03:44.89
we're getting out
00:03:44.92\00:03:45.49
into the field with it,
00:03:45.52\00:03:46.62
which is something we've
wanted to do for a long time.
00:03:46.65\00:03:49.49
And we we finally
made ourselves do it.
00:03:49.52\00:03:51.73
You know, it's so much more
work production wise to be out
00:03:51.76\00:03:55.40
in the field with our cameras,
but it's much more rewarding.
00:03:55.43\00:03:59.37
Exactly. On time, of course.
00:03:59.40\00:04:00.80
Productions
always go always on time.
00:04:00.84\00:04:02.94
Yeah, yeah.
00:04:02.97\00:04:06.04
I'm Lynelle Ellis and
I'm executive director here
00:04:07.58\00:04:10.31
at Blue Mountain Broadcasting,
which is just a small role
00:04:10.35\00:04:13.62
just a few hours a
week, actually helping
00:04:13.65\00:04:15.52
to kind of guide our
great team that we have here.
00:04:15.55\00:04:18.62
111D take one.
00:04:19.99\00:04:22.29
from the very first time I heard
about Gospel Outreach and it's
00:04:22.32\00:04:26.29
paradigm, really the way
Gospel Outreach is set up
00:04:26.73\00:04:29.80
to reach indigenous peoples
00:04:30.07\00:04:31.80
with indigenous
peoples ministering to them.
00:04:31.83\00:04:34.47
I just remember being super
inspired and going, that is it.
00:04:35.40\00:04:38.01
That is the way that is so cool.
00:04:38.04\00:04:39.51
And so I have been a
fan from the first time
00:04:39.54\00:04:43.45
I heard about it,
which was from Frank Stanyer.
00:04:43.48\00:04:45.35
So a long time ago.
00:04:45.38\00:04:47.88
I've appreciated
seeing how God has been able
00:04:47.92\00:04:49.98
to use both of
these organizations
00:04:50.02\00:04:51.79
in spreading the gospel
and showing the love of Jesus
00:04:51.82\00:04:54.56
to the people of Walla Walla
Valley area and far beyond.
00:04:54.59\00:04:57.96
As far as Gospel Outreach
00:04:59.49\00:05:01.00
goes, they're trying to
get the message out themselves.
00:05:01.03\00:05:04.03
And when you tap
into an organization
00:05:04.07\00:05:06.43
like Blue Mountain Television,
that's another arm that
00:05:06.47\00:05:09.70
Gospel Outreach
wouldn't have had without
00:05:10.41\00:05:13.61
the use of Blue
Mountain Television.
00:05:13.88\00:05:16.95
This is seen 107D take one.
00:05:17.55\00:05:20.22
I don't know exactly
when we started airing
00:05:20.25\00:05:22.68
Adventures in Missions,
00:05:22.72\00:05:23.95
way back, I mean,
00:05:24.82\00:05:27.26
early on in the advent
Adventures in Missions story
00:05:27.29\00:05:31.86
when it began, I think
as soon as it was available.
00:05:31.89\00:05:35.46
We've been partnering with
that for a really long time.
00:05:35.76\00:05:38.43
I feel like it's important
to work together because we can.
00:05:38.47\00:05:42.77
Different people
have different skills,
00:05:43.41\00:05:45.07
and as we come together, we
can grow things so much more.
00:05:45.11\00:05:49.01
For organizations that
are, like you just said,
00:05:49.71\00:05:53.08
like minded organizations
where we feel that same calling
00:05:53.11\00:05:57.19
the yeah,
00:05:57.39\00:05:58.32
one one might be in
other places in the world
00:05:58.35\00:06:00.76
and one might be
right here at home,
00:06:00.79\00:06:02.42
but it's the
same calling to share
00:06:02.46\00:06:05.46
Jesus with people, to share
about God's kingdom with people,
00:06:05.49\00:06:08.60
to connect people with
him, and with other people
00:06:08.63\00:06:11.63
who also believe.
00:06:11.67\00:06:12.77
To be able to
partner with others
00:06:14.64\00:06:17.34
that have that same
goal strengthens everybody.
00:06:17.37\00:06:20.44
When we work
together towards a common
00:06:21.28\00:06:23.08
goal of sharing Jesus
locally and around the world,
00:06:23.11\00:06:26.15
I believe the Lord
blesses those efforts.
00:06:26.18\00:06:28.78
Everybody has a
screen in front of them
00:06:28.82\00:06:30.79
and it's through this medium
00:06:30.82\00:06:32.52
that we're able to share
what's going on at Gospel
00:06:32.55\00:06:34.76
Outreach through
Adventures in Missions.
00:06:34.79\00:06:36.52
And thank you to Blue Mountain
00:06:36.56\00:06:37.83
Television for
airing destination 1040
00:06:37.86\00:06:40.86
and Gospel Outreach is
show Adventures in Missions
00:06:40.90\00:06:43.63
because we are wanting to
meet people where they are.
00:06:43.67\00:06:46.00
And there is good
news on these screens,
00:06:46.03\00:06:48.74
and that's what we're wanting
to share with all of you.
00:06:48.77\00:06:51.07
What would you say
00:06:51.11\00:06:51.77
to people who feel that calling,
00:06:51.81\00:06:53.34
but think that
maybe now is not the time?
00:06:53.38\00:06:55.98
It is the time.
00:06:56.01\00:06:58.01
and you don't have to be
qualified in some specific way.
00:06:58.05\00:07:02.58
If you're going to wait
00:07:02.78\00:07:03.89
until the time is right,
the time will never be right.
00:07:03.92\00:07:06.59
So if you're feeling like you
don't have everything you need
00:07:06.92\00:07:09.92
and you're kind of helpless,
that's probably your best moment
00:07:09.96\00:07:13.33
or your best opportunity
to go do something for him.
00:07:13.36\00:07:16.03
Scene 111 B2 take one.
00:07:16.06\00:07:18.47
Scene 111 B2 take one.
00:07:21.67\00:07:23.07
That was great.
00:07:23.10\00:07:24.74
Dave and Rosa Gillham welcome
here to Adventures in Mission.
00:07:32.58\00:07:35.18
Thanks. Good to be here. It's
always nice to see you both.
00:07:35.22\00:07:37.99
So why don't you
share with our viewers,
00:07:38.02\00:07:39.99
your exciting
00:07:40.02\00:07:41.19
roles here at Gospel Outreach
and what your jobs entail?
00:07:41.22\00:07:44.63
Okay.
00:07:44.86\00:07:45.76
I am vice president
for field operations,
00:07:45.79\00:07:48.00
which basically means my work is
00:07:48.03\00:07:51.50
the 1040 window.
00:07:52.70\00:07:53.70
We have several
regional directors
00:07:53.74\00:07:55.37
who go to
various places in charge
00:07:55.40\00:07:57.17
of various areas of the world,
and I work and support them.
00:07:57.21\00:08:01.28
And, try to help,
00:08:01.31\00:08:03.65
nurture them
00:08:03.68\00:08:04.65
and provide resources
for them as they minister
00:08:04.68\00:08:07.48
to the various
parts of the world.
00:08:07.52\00:08:09.08
So you mentioned 1040 window.
00:08:09.12\00:08:11.09
So maybe there's
someone who has just turned
00:08:11.12\00:08:13.22
on to Adventures in Missions.
00:08:13.25\00:08:14.49
What is a 1040 window? Dave?
00:08:14.52\00:08:16.59
Great question.
Yeah. 1040 window.
00:08:16.62\00:08:18.33
It actually
refers to the latitude.
00:08:18.36\00:08:20.23
So we find out about most
of the world's population live
00:08:20.26\00:08:23.70
in a band of about ten
degrees north of the equator,
00:08:24.10\00:08:27.07
up to about 40
degrees north of the equator.
00:08:27.10\00:08:29.87
And the vast
majority of those people
00:08:29.90\00:08:32.21
really don't know
anything about Christ. Yeah.
00:08:32.24\00:08:34.31
So we're talking
countries from West Africa
00:08:34.34\00:08:37.28
through the
Middle East and Asia.
00:08:37.31\00:08:39.38
Exactly. Yeah.
00:08:39.41\00:08:40.72
And Rosa, what do you
do here at Gospel Outreach?
00:08:40.75\00:08:43.05
I try to assist
however I can with,
00:08:43.08\00:08:46.55
David and and
Jeff and and Brent, but
00:08:47.26\00:08:50.63
I am also the
treasurer and so I'm so grateful
00:08:50.66\00:08:55.56
for all the wonderful support
and donations that come in.
00:08:55.60\00:08:59.10
And, and we are so anxious
to make sure that those moneys
00:08:59.13\00:09:03.04
are used.
00:09:03.07\00:09:04.14
The intent of all
these wonderful donors
00:09:04.17\00:09:07.18
that want to see the gospel
00:09:07.21\00:09:08.38
go to the world
and Jesus come soon.
00:09:08.41\00:09:11.38
Absolutely, absolutely.
00:09:11.41\00:09:13.01
So you mentioned the
regional directors, but they are
00:09:13.05\00:09:16.99
then working with the Gospel Out
00:09:17.02\00:09:19.72
who are in all of
these countries, correct
00:09:19.75\00:09:21.46
the way the system is set up.
00:09:21.49\00:09:22.59
We work closely with the
Seventh Day Adventist Church.
00:09:22.62\00:09:24.69
As you know, Gospel Outreach is
a nonprofit supporting ministry
00:09:24.73\00:09:28.60
of the seventh
day Adventist Church,
00:09:28.63\00:09:30.53
and we team up with the local
missions or regions or sections
00:09:30.57\00:09:33.94
or conferences, as they're
called in various places.
00:09:33.97\00:09:36.71
And they find, workers to that
00:09:36.74\00:09:39.47
are excited about Jesus Christ
wanting to share the gospel.
00:09:39.51\00:09:42.58
We support them by finance,
financial means, as well as,
00:09:42.81\00:09:46.92
regional training,
00:09:47.22\00:09:48.32
and support.
00:09:49.65\00:09:50.59
So that's kind of
kind of the way it works.
00:09:50.62\00:09:52.49
Yeah, absolutely.
00:09:52.52\00:09:53.36
So in essence, we
are taking Matthew
00:09:53.39\00:09:56.49
28 where it says,
go into all the world.
00:09:56.52\00:09:59.06
And we're trying to
hurry this along. Right?
00:09:59.09\00:10:00.86
Because for the
three of us to go to India
00:10:00.90\00:10:03.03
and learn Hindi, for example,
how long is that going to take?
00:10:03.06\00:10:06.30
So by this, by
this model, as you said,
00:10:06.74\00:10:09.87
Dave, to have people
who are in the villages,
00:10:10.04\00:10:12.51
they know the language, they,
they know all of of the culture.
00:10:12.54\00:10:15.68
It's wonderful. Yeah.
So they can rub shoulders.
00:10:15.71\00:10:18.15
So that gives us some
background on both of you.
00:10:18.18\00:10:21.18
So you were able to go to some
exciting meetings and, again,
00:10:21.22\00:10:26.05
rub shoulders with our
brothers and sisters there.
00:10:26.09\00:10:28.69
why don't you both
share a little bit about that?
00:10:28.72\00:10:30.46
Sure. In,
00:10:30.49\00:10:32.09
early this year, I
think it was February.
00:10:33.19\00:10:34.66
We had some meetings in
India, and these were unique
00:10:34.73\00:10:38.43
because it's the first time ever
00:10:38.47\00:10:40.97
that we've had everybody
in the entire division,
00:10:41.00\00:10:43.64
all the leaders in
the entire division.
00:10:43.67\00:10:45.44
I'm talking about all of India.
00:10:45.47\00:10:47.61
And there were hundreds
of, leaders that came in.
00:10:47.64\00:10:50.38
We're talking about the division
president and the treasurer
00:10:50.41\00:10:54.32
in the secretary,
all of the officers,
00:10:54.35\00:10:56.69
as well as in the union, as
well as in the the conference
00:10:56.72\00:10:59.95
or mission or section
level, all came to Hyderabad.
00:11:00.06\00:11:03.56
as you know, in the
Adventist church, the elections,
00:11:04.39\00:11:06.70
the major elections
are about every five years.
00:11:06.73\00:11:09.50
And so we had a huge turnover
in people who are supporting
00:11:09.53\00:11:13.90
and supervising the Gospel
Outreach workers in the area.
00:11:13.94\00:11:16.91
So we wanted to make
sure that they instead
00:11:16.94\00:11:19.21
of having multiple trainings
00:11:19.24\00:11:20.68
all over India,
that might take years.
00:11:20.71\00:11:23.11
Yeah.
00:11:23.14\00:11:24.41
We decided to just go ahead and
bring them all into Hyderabad
00:11:24.45\00:11:26.78
and, have a training
that was just generally cover
00:11:27.32\00:11:30.69
everything like that. Wonderful.
00:11:31.12\00:11:32.59
So about how many people Rosa.
00:11:32.62\00:11:34.69
There were over 300 about.
00:11:34.72\00:11:37.23
Close to 400. Wow. Okay.
00:11:37.26\00:11:39.56
And how many days
was this conference?
00:11:39.59\00:11:41.56
Tuesday through Sabbath.
00:11:41.60\00:11:42.76
Okay, good.
00:11:42.80\00:11:43.90
So you were able to spend
some quality time together?
00:11:43.93\00:11:47.04
Well, this is exciting.
00:11:47.07\00:11:48.54
So that way what? Dave.
00:11:48.57\00:11:50.94
So then the leadership knows
exactly what Gospel Outreach
00:11:50.97\00:11:54.71
is all about and
how we're trying to work
00:11:54.74\00:11:56.21
together and all of that.
00:11:56.24\00:11:57.78
Yes. Because, everybody
has their own idea about what
00:11:58.65\00:12:01.62
Gospel Outreach is,
and some people have
00:12:01.65\00:12:03.69
probably over there have
probably never heard of it.
00:12:03.72\00:12:05.49
And so we have very
00:12:05.52\00:12:07.42
careful procedures
that have been listed out,
00:12:07.46\00:12:09.76
how they support and supervise
00:12:09.79\00:12:11.49
and care for the
Gospel Outreach workers.
00:12:11.53\00:12:13.86
And we find out
00:12:13.90\00:12:14.76
the more they are trained
00:12:14.83\00:12:16.13
and the more
supervision and care and nurture
00:12:16.16\00:12:18.40
that the Gospel
Outreach workers have,
00:12:18.43\00:12:20.94
the more effective they can be.
00:12:20.97\00:12:22.44
So we just want to make sure
00:12:22.47\00:12:23.44
that they're
equipped with the right tools.
00:12:23.47\00:12:25.94
Now, when you get
this many people together
00:12:25.97\00:12:29.11
and everybody
starts talking and sharing,
00:12:29.34\00:12:31.65
I know that
there are some stories
00:12:31.68\00:12:33.78
that come out of a
meeting like this. Absolutely.
00:12:33.82\00:12:36.52
This is the skyline
of Hyderabad, India.
00:12:36.55\00:12:39.12
It's a bustling city
of millions of people.
00:12:39.15\00:12:41.32
And you can see the
00:12:41.36\00:12:42.36
from our motel
or retreat center.
00:12:43.39\00:12:44.99
There was a major
construction going on.
00:12:45.03\00:12:47.00
And then here is actually
inside this retreat center.
00:12:47.03\00:12:49.90
Our president, Brant
Scully, and some of the helpers,
00:12:49.93\00:12:53.00
all of us teamed up to
participate in this event.
00:12:53.97\00:12:57.04
This gentleman
that's on his knees,
00:12:57.31\00:13:00.44
is a Pentecostal, a
former Pentecostal pastor,
00:13:00.68\00:13:03.78
and he's from the state of,
00:13:04.61\00:13:06.88
Kerala, which is
in south west India.
00:13:06.92\00:13:09.58
There we go.
00:13:09.62\00:13:10.85
Anyway, he he's been a minister
in his church for 40 years.
00:13:10.89\00:13:15.32
And so, I mean,
this man is dedicated.
00:13:15.36\00:13:17.89
He has lived his entire life,
00:13:17.93\00:13:19.86
you know,
serving his congregation
00:13:19.89\00:13:22.00
and not only his own
congregation, but he,
00:13:22.03\00:13:25.33
was an assisted the assistant
or one of the assistance
00:13:26.33\00:13:29.00
to the president
of the entire world
00:13:29.04\00:13:31.47
church for the
Pentecostal church.
00:13:31.51\00:13:33.58
Oh, wow.
00:13:33.61\00:13:34.44
So we're talking
thousands of churches,
00:13:34.48\00:13:37.15
and he knows the
leaders, the very top leaders.
00:13:37.18\00:13:39.85
Anyway, he started
learning about the Sabbath
00:13:39.88\00:13:42.88
and just became convicted.
00:13:42.92\00:13:45.55
I think it was about a year ago.
00:13:45.59\00:13:47.06
And so he gradually,
00:13:47.09\00:13:50.16
as he learned more and
more, he became more convicted.
00:13:50.36\00:13:52.89
And finally he just says,
00:13:52.93\00:13:53.80
I've got to be a
Seventh day Adventist.
00:13:53.83\00:13:55.56
Wow. Because
because of the Sabbath.
00:13:55.60\00:13:58.57
And so he came
to the meetings and,
00:13:58.60\00:14:00.57
doesn't speak any English,
00:14:01.74\00:14:02.87
but we were able to
meet him and talk to him.
00:14:02.90\00:14:04.94
And just amazing person.
00:14:04.97\00:14:06.27
He's got his hands raised up.
00:14:06.31\00:14:07.71
May we be doing more of that?
00:14:07.74\00:14:09.44
I love that, I love that,
and so there now in the process
00:14:09.48\00:14:13.38
of making videos
that they've asked him
00:14:13.42\00:14:16.15
to make some videos,
his goal  is to reach other
00:14:16.18\00:14:19.75
congregations with the Sabbath.
00:14:20.29\00:14:22.09
And he's talked to
the president, he's
00:14:22.12\00:14:23.66
talked to all the main leaders,
and they listen very politely.
00:14:23.69\00:14:27.96
They don't
disagree with them. Right.
00:14:28.00\00:14:30.20
But it's a big cost to
change what you have done.
00:14:30.23\00:14:35.20
So he ask us very, very
passionately, please pray.
00:14:35.24\00:14:39.97
Please pray for all these
dear people because they know.
00:14:40.51\00:14:44.81
But to make a
change is means, yeah,
00:14:45.25\00:14:49.05
rejection by family and friends
and all your congregation.
00:14:49.42\00:14:53.46
Sometimes. And
it's very difficult.
00:14:53.49\00:14:55.56
Yeah.
00:14:55.59\00:14:56.42
And, and, you
know, speaking of that,
00:14:56.46\00:14:57.79
so many people are going
through, through that in life,
00:14:57.83\00:15:01.63
in so many different areas
and like how Jesus was rejected.
00:15:01.96\00:15:04.97
Jesus was rejected
and, yeah, absolutely.
00:15:05.47\00:15:08.84
We will pray. We
need to pray for this man.
00:15:08.87\00:15:10.54
So what are you
doing here, Rosa?
00:15:10.57\00:15:12.17
Well,
00:15:12.21\00:15:13.48
because of all of these leaders
and the change in everything,
00:15:13.51\00:15:15.91
I did a presentation
how to use our platform
00:15:16.14\00:15:20.18
for gathering reports
for from all of our Gospel
00:15:20.22\00:15:24.69
Outreach workers
around the 1040 window.
00:15:24.72\00:15:28.56
And so I went through
all the techie details
00:15:28.92\00:15:32.56
of how to make the
00:15:33.56\00:15:34.56
reports, where we can
get reports of their stories.
00:15:34.60\00:15:37.77
Yes, because we need them here.
00:15:37.80\00:15:39.43
Yes we do.
00:15:39.47\00:15:40.87
And and our donors love
hearing what stories are coming
00:15:40.90\00:15:44.44
in, as well as the baptisms,
the Bible studies going on and
00:15:44.47\00:15:48.91
and that kind of thing.
00:15:49.18\00:15:50.38
And so that's
what I was doing there.
00:15:50.41\00:15:52.65
And I love to
see, the women there.
00:15:52.68\00:15:55.12
And so I realized that these
were that these were meetings.
00:15:55.15\00:15:58.32
Rosa.
00:15:58.35\00:15:59.02
But can you speak a little bit
00:15:59.05\00:16:00.39
about what's going on
with women and children?
00:16:00.42\00:16:02.02
Are there leadership for women?
00:16:02.06\00:16:03.59
Well, the women.
00:16:03.63\00:16:05.53
I met the
00:16:05.56\00:16:07.40
the wife of one of the division
leaders who happens to be
00:16:07.46\00:16:12.27
the women's ministry
leader for the entire division.
00:16:12.30\00:16:15.84
And this dear lady, she
also asked to have prayer
00:16:16.20\00:16:18.57
because she was on her way
00:16:18.61\00:16:20.44
right from the
meetings to travel by herself
00:16:20.48\00:16:23.55
all the way up into
Nepal, and that she's doing VBS.
00:16:23.58\00:16:27.62
trainings for Vacation
Bible School trainings,
00:16:28.38\00:16:31.85
as well as prayer,
00:16:32.12\00:16:33.46
leadership that is
00:16:34.59\00:16:35.86
for the women and
just many different things.
00:16:35.89\00:16:39.29
But she is, of course
00:16:39.33\00:16:41.93
asking for donations
00:16:41.96\00:16:43.87
also to help with
even sewing machines
00:16:43.90\00:16:46.60
and different things for
the women so they can have,
00:16:46.63\00:16:49.70
different kinds of
ministry outreaches as well.
00:16:50.77\00:16:53.11
Sure. Yeah. So prayers for that.
00:16:53.14\00:16:55.04
Pray for that. Yeah.
00:16:55.08\00:16:56.11
And another way that we
work with the ladies too,
00:16:56.14\00:17:00.62
you'll see here a
group of five women here
00:17:00.95\00:17:04.89
and there, young ladies
that have just graduated from,
00:17:05.15\00:17:08.22
Spicer, I believe most all of
them have graduated from Spicer,
00:17:08.69\00:17:12.69
except the one lady.
And with the white shawl.
00:17:12.96\00:17:15.26
She is a wife of a pastor there.
00:17:15.30\00:17:17.90
And Spicer, is that
the college in India? Yes.
00:17:17.93\00:17:20.97
And they are single ladies,
00:17:21.00\00:17:25.01
but they have been
asked to be spiritual mentors
00:17:25.67\00:17:29.38
in some of our Adventist
schools there, because,
00:17:29.61\00:17:32.51
all right, we have huge
Adventist schools in India,
00:17:32.55\00:17:35.62
and most of the people
that the students are attending
00:17:36.15\00:17:39.55
are not Adventists.
00:17:39.79\00:17:41.59
And they come from
many kinds of backgrounds.
00:17:41.62\00:17:44.33
And so these young
ladies came and just shared
00:17:44.36\00:17:47.40
what they were doing on
these different campuses
00:17:47.60\00:17:50.67
to reach the hearts and
the lives and the minds of
00:17:50.80\00:17:54.27
of all of these young
people and their families
00:17:54.50\00:17:57.64
and playing games
with them, doing crafts,
00:17:57.67\00:18:00.68
taking care of
some of their owies,
00:18:00.71\00:18:02.58
and they come in for
whatever it is, you know. Yes.
00:18:02.61\00:18:04.88
I need a kiss
Right here, on my elbow,
00:18:04.91\00:18:06.92
you know, and
00:18:08.18\00:18:09.18
they were and they
sang songs for us and they
00:18:09.22\00:18:11.89
let out music with these kids
and and just such a ministry.
00:18:11.92\00:18:16.19
Well, this is why I'm glad.
00:18:16.36\00:18:17.59
I'm glad to hear about that.
00:18:17.63\00:18:18.76
Because, you know, the we
00:18:18.79\00:18:21.36
as we sit here, there's
00:18:21.40\00:18:22.36
so many things that
we always need to cover.
00:18:22.40\00:18:24.00
But I've always wanted to know
00:18:24.03\00:18:25.30
what's going on with
women, what's going on
00:18:25.33\00:18:27.14
with the children
and and how are we?
00:18:27.17\00:18:29.07
How are we reaching them.
00:18:29.10\00:18:30.14
The men of course there
are, there are cultural,
00:18:30.17\00:18:32.54
taboos and so
on that they cannot
00:18:32.57\00:18:34.71
talk to a woman or
get into a woman's house.
00:18:34.74\00:18:36.68
But the ladies are powerful,
and it's just a wonderful thing.
00:18:36.71\00:18:39.58
Yeah, wonderful.
00:18:39.61\00:18:40.92
So, Bibles talk
with me about Bibles.
00:18:40.95\00:18:44.02
one of the things that we
and we challenge the leaders
00:18:44.85\00:18:47.86
in the division to do, in fact,
00:18:47.89\00:18:49.56
we had a whole session
where each of the union
00:18:49.59\00:18:51.99
and there's like
seven, 6 or 7 unions in India.
00:18:52.03\00:18:55.06
They all broke up and
had a planning session,
00:18:55.43\00:18:57.40
and they came back and
presented a plan of how
00:18:57.43\00:18:59.47
they are going to
present the gospel in their area
00:18:59.50\00:19:03.30
and have evangelistic meetings.
00:19:03.34\00:19:05.47
And, we recently just
got word back from East
00:19:05.51\00:19:08.88
India, central East
Central India Union.
00:19:09.18\00:19:12.21
That's a
mouthful. That's a mouthful.
00:19:12.25\00:19:13.82
Anyway, they, they had,
meetings all over their area.
00:19:13.85\00:19:19.39
we gave them, I think it
was $10,000 worth of Bibles,
00:19:20.02\00:19:24.39
and they were
00:19:24.93\00:19:25.73
able to have a
meetings, and they had
00:19:25.76\00:19:27.10
over 3000, 3 to 4000
baptisms, just about a mon-
00:19:27.13\00:19:30.60
two months ago now.
00:19:30.63\00:19:31.80
And you just heard that.
00:19:31.83\00:19:32.73
So so that's a is
in Hindi though, right?
00:19:32.77\00:19:35.14
It depends on what
language they have.
00:19:35.17\00:19:37.21
They had some in Hindi I
think in some other languages.
00:19:37.24\00:19:39.54
But but yeah, we provided
Bibles in their language.
00:19:39.57\00:19:42.64
We were very pleased
when we went to India.
00:19:42.68\00:19:44.88
You want to tell
them about the God pods?
00:19:44.91\00:19:46.75
Oh yes.
00:19:46.78\00:19:47.78
Who were very happy to,
to listen to to have AWR
00:19:47.82\00:19:51.99
there to
00:19:52.02\00:19:53.09
partner with them, but
they can order the God pods
00:19:53.12\00:19:57.03
which have all the Bible
plus other resource materials
00:19:57.16\00:20:00.96
on them
00:20:00.96\00:20:01.50
right there in India,
00:20:01.53\00:20:03.47
rather than having
to send over everything.
00:20:03.50\00:20:06.23
And so I don't remember the
00:20:06.27\00:20:08.74
leader's name,
00:20:08.77\00:20:09.97
but they had some ladies there
with him that work with him,
00:20:10.01\00:20:13.21
but that gave them their,
email addresses and information.
00:20:13.24\00:20:18.15
So our gospel workers can all
order what they need in language
00:20:18.18\00:20:22.95
and they like that.
00:20:22.98\00:20:23.95
Well,
00:20:23.99\00:20:25.09
and that's my other hat
that I wear with, the Bible
00:20:25.12\00:20:26.59
and living sound,
00:20:26.62\00:20:27.72
because this is very
important that we have these are
00:20:27.76\00:20:30.73
the readings of the Bible,
the Bible stories, what I do,
00:20:31.16\00:20:34.20
to have them
00:20:34.23\00:20:35.36
in the different languages
so that people can have them
00:20:35.40\00:20:37.53
on the God pods,
they're solar powered.
00:20:37.57\00:20:39.73
They're they're just fantastic
big supporters of those here.
00:20:39.77\00:20:42.87
Gospel Outreach
and we are. Yeah.
00:20:42.90\00:20:45.07
So there's exciting new
growth there in in this area.
00:20:45.11\00:20:48.44
And then you also were
able on your way home then
00:20:48.48\00:20:51.81
to pop by another
country in the 1040 window.
00:20:52.08\00:20:55.42
And where was that?
00:20:55.45\00:20:57.05
Well, we were fortunate to go,
00:20:57.09\00:20:59.59
through
Thailand on the way home.
00:20:59.62\00:21:01.02
We only had 3 or 4 days,
00:21:01.06\00:21:03.32
but we stopped at
the Thailand mission.
00:21:03.36\00:21:04.83
We have work in Thailand
with several Bible workers,
00:21:04.86\00:21:07.83
and we are looking to
expand, quite a bit in Thailand.
00:21:07.86\00:21:11.87
but the need is so great
among the Buddhist there. And,
00:21:12.07\00:21:14.54
and, here you
see a picture of the
00:21:15.50\00:21:18.44
Thai mission president and the
treasurer and secretary that,
00:21:18.47\00:21:21.81
Rosa and I are
meeting with them,
00:21:22.01\00:21:24.35
and they're just
so excited about what
00:21:24.38\00:21:26.55
Gospel Outreach is doing, and
they're wanting more workers.
00:21:26.58\00:21:29.72
we recently, started sponsoring
a wonderful school program.
00:21:30.59\00:21:34.36
And there that the kids from
Myanmar come across the river,
00:21:34.39\00:21:38.13
to go to school
and to go to school.
00:21:39.36\00:21:41.20
And there they go
home and then, well,
00:21:41.23\00:21:43.00
there's a boarding school, so
they actually stay stay there.
00:21:43.03\00:21:45.27
Okay, a part time
and there's a couple of
00:21:45.30\00:21:47.60
there's three schools,
part of the school system.
00:21:47.64\00:21:49.54
Two of them are
actually in Myanmar.
00:21:49.57\00:21:51.54
So you got to go across
the river in the Myanmar.
00:21:51.57\00:21:54.01
And there is two jungle schools.
00:21:54.04\00:21:55.48
Ironically enough,
they are in the same area.
00:21:55.51\00:21:58.18
And that Eric B
Hare many years ago.
00:21:58.21\00:22:01.12
Yeah.
00:22:01.15\00:22:01.82
And so it's really interesting
00:22:01.85\00:22:02.95
that what's happening God
is just opening up the work,
00:22:02.98\00:22:05.85
wonderfully. Talk about Thailand
and yes, here's a picture.
00:22:05.89\00:22:09.36
Yeah, that's the guy
we're competing with. yeah.
00:22:09.72\00:22:12.23
And our guys
are powerful, right?
00:22:12.26\00:22:13.93
For sure.
00:22:13.96\00:22:15.40
They make these huge
statues and people, of course,
00:22:15.43\00:22:18.00
you know, worship them.
00:22:18.03\00:22:19.33
And they try to do good
works in order to keep from
00:22:19.37\00:22:22.17
getting set back
00:22:22.20\00:22:23.34
as a bug in the next life
and all this kind of stuff is
00:22:23.37\00:22:26.17
the blessing is that
we serve a living God,
00:22:26.47\00:22:29.21
and our God is alive and
standing and not lying down.
00:22:29.24\00:22:32.65
And, we have we have a lot of
work to do still, don't we, amen
00:22:32.95\00:22:35.95
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:22:35.98\00:22:37.22
I just want to say thank you
00:22:37.25\00:22:38.22
to all the donors for
the tremendous support.
00:22:38.25\00:22:40.59
We were able to add over
100 Bible workers already.
00:22:40.62\00:22:42.89
We have about another hundred.
00:22:42.92\00:22:44.23
We want to add.
00:22:44.26\00:22:45.06
Good, good. Yes,
absolutely. Yeah.
00:22:45.09\00:22:47.60
We are just
thrilled that God is at work
00:22:47.66\00:22:51.27
behind the scenes where we
know nothing of it's all true.
00:22:51.30\00:22:55.27
And soon we'll hear the stories.
00:22:55.80\00:22:58.61
Yes, absolutely. Well,
thank you to both of you.
00:22:58.64\00:23:00.84
And thank you for being
here on Adventures in Missions.
00:23:00.88\00:23:03.01
Today I want to talk to you
about the country of Indonesia.
00:23:04.28\00:23:07.42
Now, Indonesia is
comprised of over 14,000 islands
00:23:07.45\00:23:11.59
with 6000 of those
islands inhabited. Throughout
00:23:11.79\00:23:15.12
those 6000 islands is hundreds
of languages and dialects.
00:23:15.16\00:23:19.16
But today, I want to talk to you
00:23:19.19\00:23:20.60
specifically about one of
those islands, Papua, Indonesia.
00:23:20.63\00:23:24.93
Papua Indonesia is a
province of Indonesia,
00:23:24.97\00:23:27.97
and it borders to the
east of Papua New Guinea.
00:23:28.00\00:23:30.97
The focus of Gospel Outreach
has always been to sponsor
00:23:31.01\00:23:33.84
workers within unreached
00:23:33.88\00:23:35.28
areas, and Papua Indonesia
is no exception to that.
00:23:35.31\00:23:39.45
In fact, I've heard it said that
90% of the villages in Papua,
00:23:39.48\00:23:43.45
Indonesia are incredibly remote
and difficult to access now.
00:23:43.49\00:23:47.46
Gospel Outreach has
been sponsoring for workers
00:23:47.49\00:23:49.82
in this area over the past
few years, but we recently added
00:23:49.86\00:23:53.70
25 new workers in remote areas
throughout Papua, Indonesia.
00:23:53.73\00:23:58.93
This is an exciting new
frontier for Gospel Outreach.
00:23:59.27\00:24:02.37
We are reaching out
to very remote areas
00:24:02.40\00:24:05.81
that are in
desperate need of Jesus.
00:24:05.84\00:24:08.21
It would be nearly impossible
00:24:08.24\00:24:09.84
to reach these areas
without the support of Adventist
00:24:09.88\00:24:12.91
Aviation flying us
into these locations.
00:24:12.95\00:24:15.92
Our workers in this area
00:24:15.95\00:24:17.19
are also managed
by Adventist Aviation,
00:24:17.22\00:24:19.75
so without them
this would be impossible
00:24:19.79\00:24:21.69
and we want to thank them
for their support in this work.
00:24:21.72\00:24:24.66
With these 25 new
workers, we now have 29 workers
00:24:24.69\00:24:28.33
sponsored by Gospel
Outreach in Papua, Indonesia.
00:24:28.56\00:24:31.90
And we want to ask you
to pray for these workers.
00:24:31.93\00:24:35.14
The places they are
in are very, very remote.
00:24:35.17\00:24:38.31
My wife and I
00:24:38.34\00:24:39.51
actually recently returned
from a trip in Papua, Indonesia,
00:24:39.54\00:24:43.04
and we were just amazed at
the work that's happening there.
00:24:43.08\00:24:46.15
We went to a place
where it was an eight day
00:24:46.18\00:24:48.52
trek to get there, or we had to
fly in with Adventist Aviation.
00:24:48.55\00:24:52.25
We spent time
trekking with the people,
00:24:52.42\00:24:54.69
staying with the people in their
homes, worshiping with them.
00:24:54.72\00:24:57.76
And we can tell you firsthand
that the work happening
00:24:57.79\00:25:01.13
there is definitely a
godsend for these people.
00:25:01.16\00:25:04.20
And they're learning more
about Jesus through education.
00:25:04.23\00:25:07.07
They're learning more
about Jesus through the Bible.
00:25:07.10\00:25:09.57
Work is being done,
00:25:09.60\00:25:10.81
and we are providing health work
for the people of this area.
00:25:10.84\00:25:15.08
In fact, there is
a very remote clinic
00:25:15.11\00:25:17.38
in which people will walk for
three days to come and visit.
00:25:17.41\00:25:21.22
While my wife and I were there,
we met a couple that walked
00:25:21.25\00:25:23.62
three days to come
and visit the clinic
00:25:23.65\00:25:26.29
because their only option is
a three day trek to our clinic,
00:25:26.32\00:25:29.82
or an eight day trek to any road
00:25:30.09\00:25:32.93
where they can get access to
any other type of medical help.
00:25:32.96\00:25:36.56
We want to thank
you for your continued
00:25:36.60\00:25:38.47
support of this ministry.
00:25:38.50\00:25:40.30
It would not be possible
without the generous donations
00:25:40.34\00:25:43.94
and the prayers that
come from people like you.
00:25:43.97\00:25:46.78
So continue to pray for these
people in Papua, Indonesia.
00:25:46.81\00:25:50.45
Continue to pray that
this work continues to grow
00:25:50.48\00:25:53.72
because we are just barely
touching the surface of the need
00:25:53.75\00:25:58.05
in this area.
00:25:58.09\00:25:59.12

Until next time, God bless you.
00:26:07.03\00:26:08.53
Get involved and I will
see you in the next episode.
00:26:08.56\00:26:11.80
Thank you so
00:26:13.67\00:26:14.74
much for being part of
the Gospel Outreach Family,
00:26:14.77\00:26:17.21
and we pray the Lord's
blessings on you as you share
00:26:17.24\00:26:20.31
Jesus with the people
that you rub shoulders
00:26:20.34\00:26:22.44
with on a daily basis.
00:26:22.48\00:26:24.15
May the Lord bless you today.
00:26:24.18\00:26:29.55
