>> FROM ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA,
"THE CARTER REPORT" PRESENTS
00:00:00.56\00:00:10.50
THE LIVING WORD
AROUND THE WORLD.
00:00:10.50\00:00:14.70
>> WE HAVE WITH US A SPECIAL
GUEST TODAY, ERWIN LIEBELT,
00:00:16.86\00:00:20.56
WHO IS A CHAIRMAN.
00:00:20.56\00:00:22.60
DURING OUR PROGRAM TODAY,
HE'S GOING TO TELL YOU HOW AFTER
00:00:22.60\00:00:25.63
67 YEARS HE FOUND HIS FATHER,
WHO DIED FIGHTING IN STALINGRAD.
00:00:25.63\00:00:34.43
HE CAME WITH US ON OUR TRIP
TO STALINGRAD, OR VOLGOGRAD,
00:00:34.43\00:00:38.20
ONLY VERY RECENTLY.
00:00:38.20\00:00:39.90
AND HE'S GOING
TO TELL THE STORY.
00:00:39.90\00:00:42.06
WE'RE ALSO GOING TO
TALK IN THIS PROGRAM ABOUT
00:00:42.06\00:00:44.90
THE GREATEST BATTLE.
00:00:44.90\00:00:47.10
SOME SAY THIS WAS THE
GREATEST BATTLE IN THE HISTORY
00:00:47.10\00:00:49.46
OF THE HUMAN RACE.
00:00:49.46\00:00:50.86
THAT MAY BE DEBATED, BUT WE
DO KNOW THAT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
00:00:50.86\00:00:55.93
DIED, LIKE ERWIN'S DAD.
00:00:55.93\00:00:59.26
THE TOPIC TODAY IS "PREACHING
CHRIST IN TODAY'S RUSSIA."
00:00:59.26\00:01:06.20
THIS PROGRAM IS
GOING TO AMAZE YOU.
00:01:06.20\00:01:10.10
BUT FIRSTLY TODAY, WOULD
YOU PLEASE WELCOME MY WIFE,
00:01:10.10\00:01:14.43
BEVERLEY CARTER.
00:01:14.43\00:01:16.26
[APPLAUDING]
00:01:16.26\00:01:19.36
>> TRAVELING TO ONE'S
DESTINATION CAN OFTEN BE
00:01:25.23\00:01:27.66
AS INTERESTING AS
ARRIVING AT THE DESTINATION.
00:01:27.66\00:01:31.00
AND SUCH WAS OUR VISIT TO
THE ORPHANAGE IN VOLGOGRAD.
00:01:31.00\00:01:34.76
WE HAD ASKED THE LOCAL
GOVERNMENT IF WE COULD GO TO
00:01:34.76\00:01:37.40
ONE THAT WASN'T OFTEN VISITED.
00:01:37.40\00:01:39.53
AND THEY SAID, "SURE, THERE'S
ONE 70, 7-0, KILOMETERS OUTSIDE
00:01:39.53\00:01:44.43
OF VOLGOGRAD."
00:01:44.43\00:01:45.83
SO ON TUESDAY MORNING AT 7:30,
3 CARLOADS OF OUR TEAM SET OUT
00:01:45.83\00:01:51.66
TO VISIT THIS ORPHANAGE.
00:01:51.66\00:01:53.86
AFTER 100 KILOMETERS, I STARTED
TO WONDER HOW MUCH FURTHER.
00:01:53.86\00:01:58.96
OUR DRIVER COULDN'T SPEAK
ENGLISH AND OUR TRANSLATOR WAS
00:01:58.96\00:02:01.83
IN ONE OF THE OTHER CARS.
00:02:01.83\00:02:04.06
AT 150 KILOMETERS, WE
WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE,
00:02:04.06\00:02:08.33
NOT A HOUSE, NOT A CAR,
NOT EVEN A BARN IN SIGHT.
00:02:08.33\00:02:12.00
AND MY IMAGINATION
STARTED TO RUN RIOT.
00:02:12.00\00:02:15.10
I THOUGHT, "WELL, PERHAPS
WE'RE NEAR THE CHECHNYAN BORDER
00:02:15.10\00:02:18.46
AND/OR WE COULD BE
KIDNAPPED AND NO ONE WOULD KNOW
00:02:18.46\00:02:21.73
WHERE WE WERE."
00:02:21.73\00:02:22.80
WE DIDN'T KNOW WHERE WE WERE.
00:02:22.80\00:02:26.36
AND SO, IN A FEW MORE
KILOMETERS, OR AFTER A FEW MORE
00:02:26.36\00:02:29.93
KILOMETERS, WE CAME INTO A
SMALL VILLAGE AND WE STOPPED,
00:02:29.93\00:02:34.16
AND SEVERAL OF US
HOPPED OUT OF THE CAR.
00:02:34.16\00:02:36.40
THERE WERE ABOUT 50 BIG,
OLD RUSSIAN TRUCKS WITH ABOUT
00:02:36.40\00:02:40.43
50 BIG, TOUGH LOOKING RUSSIAN
DRIVERS STANDING AROUND EATING
00:02:40.43\00:02:45.93
AND DRINKING.
00:02:45.93\00:02:46.96
AND I DON'T THINK
THEY WERE DRINKING WATER.
00:02:46.96\00:02:49.36
ONE OF OUR TEAM MEMBERS
SUGGESTED, "WELL, PERHAPS
00:02:49.36\00:02:51.66
WE SHOULD TURN
AROUND AND GO BACK."
00:02:51.66\00:02:53.76
AND I WAS A LITTLE TEMPTED
AT FIRST, BUT THEN I THOUGHT,
00:02:53.76\00:02:56.63
"YOU KNOW, WE'VE STARTED
THIS MISSION AND WE'RE GOING
00:02:56.63\00:02:58.90
TO FINISH IT."
00:02:58.90\00:03:00.26
JUST THEN, THE DIRECTOR
OF THE ORPHANAGE TURNED UP
00:03:00.26\00:03:03.30
AND MY TRANSLATOR ASKED
HIM, "HOW MUCH FURTHER?"
00:03:03.30\00:03:06.06
AND HE SAID,
"THIRTY KILOMETERS."
00:03:06.06\00:03:08.23
SO WE HOPPED BACK INTO OUR CARS
AND OFF WE WENT WITH ME KEENLY
00:03:08.23\00:03:12.16
WATCHING THE SPEEDOMETER.
00:03:12.16\00:03:14.76
WELL, 30
KILOMETERS CAME AND WENT.
00:03:14.76\00:03:18.60
BY NOW, MY BLOOD PRESSURE
WAS STARTING TO RISE OUT OF
00:03:18.60\00:03:22.23
CONCERN, NOT JUST FOR MYSELF,
BUT MAINLY FOR THE TEAM MEMBERS
00:03:22.23\00:03:26.16
FOR WHOM I WAS RESPONSIBLE.
00:03:26.16\00:03:28.70
WELL, AFTER ANOTHER 10
KILOMETERS, THE ORPHANAGE
00:03:28.70\00:03:31.46
CAME INTO SIGHT.
00:03:31.46\00:03:33.46
I SENT UP A SILENT
PRAYER, "THANK YOU, LORD."
00:03:33.46\00:03:37.06
WE HAD DRIVEN NEARLY
200 KILOMETERS, WHICH IS
00:03:37.06\00:03:39.86
A BIT MORE THAN 70 KILOMETERS.
00:03:39.86\00:03:42.76
THE OLD BUILDING HAD BEEN
USED AS A HOME FOR WIDOWS AND
00:03:42.76\00:03:45.43
CHILDREN AFTER THE SECOND WORLD
WAR, AND THEN IN 1960 HAD BEEN
00:03:45.43\00:03:49.53
TURNED INTO AN ORPHANAGE.
00:03:49.53\00:03:51.63
THE DIRECTOR TOLD US THAT
THEY HAD ABOUT 120 YOUNG PEOPLE
00:03:51.63\00:03:55.30
THERE, AGED FROM 10 TO 18.
00:03:55.30\00:03:58.20
THE YOUNG PEOPLE PUT
ON A MINI-CONCERT FOR US
00:03:58.20\00:04:01.03
OF SONGS AND FOLK DANCING.
00:04:01.03\00:04:03.40
AND THEN I TOLD THEM HOW HAPPY
WE WERE TO BE THERE AND THEN WE
00:04:03.40\00:04:07.36
GAVE THEM A GIFT OF TWO
NEW COMPUTERS TO HELP THEM WITH
00:04:07.36\00:04:11.70
THEIR EDUCATIONAL WORK.
00:04:11.70\00:04:13.90
THEY THEN INVITED US TO STAY
TO EAT, BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE HAD
00:04:13.90\00:04:17.70
TO DECLINE AS WE HAD TO GET
BACK FOR THE EVENING MEETING.
00:04:17.70\00:04:22.13
THAT EXPERIENCE WAS A BLESSING
FOR US AS A TEAM AND WE'RE GLAD
00:04:22.13\00:04:26.40
WE HADN'T TURNED BACK.
00:04:26.40\00:04:28.66
THE REMAINING FUND MONEY
WAS GIVEN TO HELP THE WIFE OF
00:04:28.66\00:04:31.16
THE NEW--OF THE MINISTER
LOOKING AFTER THE NEW CHURCH.
00:04:31.16\00:04:34.46
NOW THIS LADY, LILLY,
IS A REMARKABLE PERSON.
00:04:34.46\00:04:37.90
AS A TEENAGER, SHE HAD SECRETLY
TYPED PORTIONS OF THE BIBLE
00:04:37.90\00:04:42.46
AND OTHER CHRISTIAN
LITERATURE FOR THE CHURCH.
00:04:42.46\00:04:45.03
THE KGB WERE SUSPICIOUS AND HAD
FOLLOWED HER FOR SEVERAL YEARS,
00:04:45.03\00:04:49.63
BUT THANKFULLY
SHE WAS NEVER CAUGHT.
00:04:49.63\00:04:52.33
SHE NOW SPENDS HER TIME
LOOKING AFTER CHILDREN AND YOUNG
00:04:52.33\00:04:55.43
PEOPLE, NOT ONLY IN THE CHURCH
BUT ALSO IN INSTITUTIONS LIKE
00:04:55.43\00:04:59.23
HOMES FOR THE DISABLED,
ORPHANAGES, HIGH SCHOOLS,
00:04:59.23\00:05:02.96
AND JUVENILE HALLS.
00:05:02.96\00:05:04.70
WE WERE HAPPY TO HELP HER
BUY A NEW PROJECTOR AND A HEAP
00:05:04.70\00:05:08.56
OF MATERIALS, WHICH WILL
HELP TO WARN YOUNG PEOPLE OF
00:05:08.56\00:05:11.66
THE DANGER OF DRUGS AND
HOW TO AVOID CONTRACTING AIDS.
00:05:11.66\00:05:15.73
AND, OF COURSE, SHE
TELLS THEM ABOUT THEIR CREATOR,
00:05:15.73\00:05:19.23
WHO LOVES THEM VERY MUCH.
00:05:19.23\00:05:21.36
I WANT TO SAY A BIG THANK
YOU TO THOSE OF YOU WHO HELP US
00:05:21.36\00:05:25.40
IN THIS PART OF
OUR EVANGELISTIC WORK.
00:05:25.40\00:05:28.13
THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
00:05:28.13\00:05:30.93
[CONGREGATION APPLAUDING]
00:05:30.93\00:05:32.93
>> THE TOPIC TODAY
IS "PREACHING CHRIST
00:05:34.73\00:05:38.16
IN TODAY'S NEW RUSSIA."
00:05:38.16\00:05:42.80
EVERYTHING YOU THINK
ABOUT RUSSIA, FORGET ABOUT IT,
00:05:42.80\00:05:46.70
BECAUSE IT'S A
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PLACE.
00:05:46.70\00:05:50.40
WE HAVE WITH US TODAY A PERSON
WHO USED TO COME TO THIS CHURCH
00:05:50.40\00:05:54.13
ALL THE TIME WHEN HE LIVED
DOWN HERE, A PERSON WHOM WE
00:05:54.13\00:05:57.30
APPRECIATE AND
RESPECT, ERWIN LIEBELT.
00:05:57.30\00:06:00.13
WOULD YOU COME FORWARD, ERWIN?
00:06:00.13\00:06:02.63
[APPLAUDING] >>
ERWIN CAME WITH US.
00:06:02.63\00:06:07.43
WELCOME, ERWIN.
00:06:07.43\00:06:09.10
>> THANK YOU.
00:06:09.10\00:06:09.90
I'M VERY HAPPY,
VERY HAPPY TO BE HERE.
00:06:09.90\00:06:13.63
>> ERWIN, YOU WERE
A MEMBER OF OUR TEAM.
00:06:13.63\00:06:16.80
YOU CAME WITH US TO VOLGOGRAD.
00:06:16.80\00:06:19.33
YOUR FATHER FOUGHT AT VOLGOGRAD.
00:06:19.33\00:06:23.23
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:06:23.23\00:06:24.16
IT WAS CALLED STALINGRAD
AT THAT TIME AND I WILL NEVER
00:06:24.16\00:06:28.43
FORGET THE DAY WHEN HE LEFT.
00:06:28.43\00:06:30.03
IT WAS VERY EARLY IN 1942.
00:06:30.03\00:06:33.76
I WAS 5 YEARS OLD.
00:06:33.76\00:06:35.83
MY SISTER, ELLIE, WAS 9 MONTHS.
00:06:35.83\00:06:39.33
WE TOOK HIM TO A LOCAL RAILROAD
STATION AND WE DIDN'T KNOW
00:06:39.33\00:06:42.96
WHERE HE WAS GOING.
00:06:42.96\00:06:44.26
MY DAD WAS ABOUT 32.
00:06:44.26\00:06:47.03
AND A FEW MONTHS AFTER THAT, WE
HEARD HE WAS MISSING IN ACTION.
00:06:47.03\00:06:51.13
MY MOTHER GOT SOME
LETTERS FROM STALINGRAD.
00:06:51.13\00:06:54.86
THAT'S THE LAST
TIME WE HEARD OF HIM.
00:06:54.86\00:06:57.06
>> HOW WELL DO
YOU REMEMBER YOUR DAD?
00:06:57.06\00:06:59.70
>> OH, VERY WELL.
00:06:59.70\00:07:01.16
HE USED TO CARRY ME ON HIS
BACK TO GRANDMA'S HOUSE SEVERAL
00:07:01.16\00:07:03.96
KILOMETERS AWAY
FROM WHERE WE LIVED.
00:07:03.96\00:07:06.66
AND I AM VERY PROUD OF HIM.
00:07:06.66\00:07:09.36
HE MARRIED MY MOM.
00:07:09.36\00:07:10.83
>> YOU WERE LIVING AT THAT TIME
NOT IN GERMANY, BUT IN POLAND.
00:07:10.83\00:07:14.86
>> YES, THAT'S CORRECT.
00:07:14.86\00:07:16.76
>> HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?
00:07:16.76\00:07:18.83
>> WELL, MY ANCESTORS, THEY
CAME FROM THE UKRAINE, AND ALSO
00:07:18.83\00:07:22.96
FROM SOME PARTS IN POLAND.
00:07:22.96\00:07:25.20
AND AT THAT TIME, IF YOU
REMEMBER HISTORY, YOU PROBABLY
00:07:25.20\00:07:28.56
KNOW THE BLITZKRIEG HAD
HAPPENED IN 1939 AND THE
00:07:28.56\00:07:34.33
DICTATOR IN GERMANY, HITLER,
SAID TO STALIN, "I WILL NOT
00:07:34.33\00:07:37.33
ATTACK RUSSIA IF YOU LET
ALL THE GERMAN SPEAKING PEOPLE
00:07:37.33\00:07:40.83
COME HOME TO THE FATHERLAND."
00:07:40.83\00:07:42.60
THAT'S WHERE MY MOM
AND DAD WERE GOING HOME.
00:07:42.60\00:07:46.50
AND HALFWAY THROUGH POLAND,
THEY STOPPED US AND SAID,
00:07:46.50\00:07:50.76
"THIS IS PART OF GERMANY NOW."
00:07:50.76\00:07:52.20
THEY ANNEXED IT.
00:07:52.20\00:07:54.90
ANYWAY, IT WAS VERY, VERY--
MY MOTHER DIED VERY LONELY
00:07:54.90\00:08:00.23
IN 1966 IN LOS ANGELES.
00:08:00.23\00:08:03.56
AND WE WERE ALWAYS WAITING.
00:08:03.56\00:08:05.06
WE DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM.
00:08:05.06\00:08:07.10
THEY NEVER TOLD US.
00:08:07.10\00:08:08.13
>> AND IT WAS A
TREMENDOUS BATTLE.
00:08:08.13\00:08:10.20
SOME SAY IT WAS THE
GREATEST BATTLE OF ALL.
00:08:10.20\00:08:13.13
THE RUSSIANS SAY NOW, ERWIN,
THAT 3 MILLION PEOPLE DIED
00:08:13.13\00:08:16.93
IN THE BATTLE OF STALINGRAD.
00:08:16.93\00:08:18.80
OTHERS SAY 2 MILLION PEOPLE.
00:08:18.80\00:08:21.40
A TREMENDOUS BATTLE.
00:08:21.40\00:08:23.13
I WANT YOU TO DO
SOMETHING NOW WITH ME.
00:08:23.13\00:08:27.23
I WANT YOU JUST WITH THE
AUDIENCE TODAY JUST TO PAUSE
00:08:27.23\00:08:34.53
AND WE'RE GOING TO THINK ABOUT
THE 2 OR 3 MILLION RUSSIANS AND
00:08:34.53\00:08:42.56
GERMANS, YOUNG MEN, WHO DIED.
00:08:42.56\00:08:48.00
AND LET US THINK
ALSO OF YOUR DAD.
00:08:48.00\00:08:53.36
[GUNS FIRING]
00:08:53.36\00:08:57.83
>> YOUR DAD WAS
LOST FOR 67 YEARS.
00:09:08.70\00:09:13.56
YOU FOUND HIM.
00:09:13.56\00:09:15.53
>> YES.
00:09:15.53\00:09:16.93
I WANT TO PRAISE THE LORD
FOR MAKING THIS TRIP POSSIBLE,
00:09:16.93\00:09:20.70
PASTOR JOHN, AND I WANT
TO THANK YOU FOR INVITING ME
00:09:20.70\00:09:23.20
TO GO ALONG.
00:09:23.20\00:09:24.23
>> THANK YOU FOR COMING.
00:09:24.23\00:09:25.43
TELL US HOW YOU FOUND HIM.
00:09:25.43\00:09:28.06
>> WELL, VERY SHORTLY I--WHEN
WE GOT THERE, PASTOR BUTOV KNEW
00:09:28.06\00:09:32.46
ABOUT IT THAT I WAS ONE OF
THEM, I WAS LOOKING FOR MY DAD
00:09:32.46\00:09:35.86
POSSIBLY AFTER 67, 68 YEARS.
00:09:35.86\00:09:39.26
AND HE SAID,
"THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON.
00:09:39.26\00:09:41.13
THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT IS HERE
NOW AND TRYING TO STRAIGHTEN
00:09:41.13\00:09:43.06
OUT SOMETHING AND MAYBE
PUT UP A CEMETERY OF SOLDIERS
00:09:43.06\00:09:46.60
FROM THE SECOND WORLD WAR."
00:09:46.60\00:09:48.30
AND I SAID, "MY
GOODNESS, THAT'S 68 YEARS AGO.
00:09:48.30\00:09:51.20
MIGHT AS WELL BE 100."
00:09:51.20\00:09:52.90
I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING.
00:09:52.90\00:09:54.60
WAS THE LAST DAY.
00:09:54.60\00:09:56.26
BROTHER ANDREVOVICH, ONE
OF THE PASTORS FROM THE LITTLE
00:09:56.26\00:10:00.83
CHURCH WHERE WE WENT TO
EAT EVERY DAY, HE TAPPED ME ON
00:10:00.83\00:10:03.90
THE SHOULDER AFTER THE MEETING
WAS OVER AND HE SAID, "ERWIN,
00:10:03.90\00:10:07.20
I CAN TAKE YOU THERE
TO THE PLACE WHERE THERE'S
00:10:07.20\00:10:11.10
A GERMAN SOLDIER CEMETERY.
00:10:11.10\00:10:13.80
WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO?"
00:10:13.80\00:10:15.76
I WAS OVERWHELMED.
00:10:15.76\00:10:17.10
I SAID, "YES, COULD YOU TAKE ME?
00:10:17.10\00:10:18.90
HOW FAR IS IT?"
00:10:18.90\00:10:20.03
"OH, ABOUT 50, 60 KILOMETERS
OUTSIDE OF VOLGOGRAD."
00:10:20.03\00:10:24.16
AND SO WE DID.
00:10:24.16\00:10:25.13
WE WENT THERE.
00:10:25.13\00:10:26.20
AND WHEN WE GOT THERE, ALL OF
A SUDDEN I SEE SIGNS IN GERMAN.
00:10:26.20\00:10:29.86
I COULD READ 'EM,
BUT MY FRIEND COULD NOT.
00:10:29.86\00:10:32.73
AND SO I SAW A SIGN THAT SAYS,
"GO A LITTLE DEEPER AND FIND
00:10:32.73\00:10:36.83
YOUR LOVED ONE.
00:10:36.83\00:10:38.50
YOU NEED TO KNOW HIS DATE
OF BIRTH AND THE TIME WHEN
00:10:38.50\00:10:45.20
HE WAS LOST OR DIED."
00:10:45.20\00:10:47.83
AND SO HE WENT ONE ROW AND
WE FOUND THESE HUGE COLUMNS
00:10:47.83\00:10:51.16
OF--MADE OUT OF GRANITE.
00:10:51.16\00:10:56.60
AND THE NAMES WERE ENGRAVED.
00:10:56.60\00:10:57.86
THEY WERE ABOUT 5 FEET
HIGH, 2 FEET OR 3 FEET WIDE,
00:10:57.86\00:11:01.43
3 FEET BY 3 FEET.
00:11:01.43\00:11:03.00
HUNDREDS, MAYBE THOUSANDS OF
THEM, ROWS AND ROWS AND ROWS.
00:11:03.00\00:11:05.90
AND WE WENT UP
AND DOWN, UP AND DOWN.
00:11:05.90\00:11:08.16
ALL OF A SUDDEN, HE WAVED
TO ME AND I GOT CLOSER TO HIM.
00:11:08.16\00:11:10.76
I SAID, "I THINK
I'VE GOT SOMETHING."
00:11:10.76\00:11:13.23
WHEN I SAW PASTOR ANDREVOVICH,
HE WAS--HIS EYES HAD GOTTEN
00:11:13.23\00:11:16.86
WATERY.
00:11:16.86\00:11:18.06
I SAID, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
00:11:18.06\00:11:19.40
HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND ME AND
HE SAYS, "I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU.
00:11:19.40\00:11:23.10
I THINK I FOUND YOUR DAD."
00:11:23.10\00:11:26.10
NOW I'M NOT A SOFTIE AT
ALL, BUT, PASTOR JOHN, THAT TIME
00:11:26.10\00:11:29.70
I COULDN'T HOLD BACK.
00:11:29.70\00:11:31.23
WE WERE HUGGING EACH
OTHER AND BOTH WERE CRYING
00:11:31.23\00:11:34.50
LIKE LITTLE BOYS.
00:11:34.50\00:11:36.50
>> ERWIN, CAN I
TELL YOU SOMETHING?
00:11:36.50\00:11:40.06
MILLIONS OF DECENT,
YOUNG RUSSIANS AND GERMANS
00:11:40.06\00:11:43.93
DIED THERE.
00:11:43.93\00:11:45.20
THEY HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH THE GREAT DICTATORS.
00:11:45.20\00:11:49.20
AND I BELIEVE THAT AMONG THIS
MULTITUDE, THERE WILL BE MANY
00:11:49.20\00:11:53.90
WHO WILL BE RESURRECTED.
00:11:53.90\00:11:56.10
MAY GOD COMFORT YOU AND
BLESS YOU AT THIS TIME, ERWIN.
00:11:56.10\00:11:59.86
>> PASTOR JOHN, I'D LIKE TO SAY
TO ALL MY RUSSIAN FRIENDS HERE
00:11:59.86\00:12:03.53
[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
AND TO MY GERMAN FRIENDS
00:12:03.53\00:12:07.03
[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN
LANGUAGE] THAT'S IN GERMAN.
00:12:07.03\00:12:10.06
AND LET'S ALL PRAISE THE LORD.
00:12:10.06\00:12:11.66
>> GOD BLESS YOU, ERWIN.
00:12:11.66\00:12:12.80
GOD BLESS YOU.
00:12:12.80\00:12:14.33
GOD BLESS YOU, MY OLD FRIEND.
00:12:14.33\00:12:18.03
GOD BLESS YOU, MY OLD FRIEND.
00:12:18.03\00:12:21.36
>> THE GREATEST BATTLE,
HOWEVER, IS NOT THE BATTLE THAT
00:12:26.03\00:12:28.43
WAS FOUGHT AT STALINGRAD.
00:12:28.43\00:12:30.76
IT IS THE GREAT BATTLE
BETWEEN CHRIST AND SATAN.
00:12:30.76\00:12:34.30
I WANT YOU TO TAKE YOUR BIBLES
NOW, MY FRIENDS, AND TURN TO
00:12:34.30\00:12:37.93
THE BOOK OF REVELATION 12:7-9.
00:12:37.93\00:12:44.30
REVELATION 12:7-9.
00:12:44.30\00:12:51.50
WE'RE SO GLAD FOR YOU, ERWIN.
00:12:51.50\00:12:54.10
WE'RE GLAD THAT YOU CAME.
00:12:54.10\00:12:56.00
WE'RE GLAD THAT
YOU FOUND YOUR DAD.
00:12:56.00\00:12:58.33
REVELATION 12:7-9.
00:12:58.33\00:13:01.13
WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT
THE GREATEST BATTLE OF THEM ALL,
00:13:01.13\00:13:03.53
MY FRIEND.
00:13:03.53\00:13:05.16
"AND THERE WAS WAR IN HEAVEN.
00:13:05.16\00:13:07.23
MICHAEL AND HIS ANGELS
FOUGHT AGAINST THE DRAGON,
00:13:07.23\00:13:09.56
AND THE DRAGON AND
HIS ANGELS FOUGHT BACK.
00:13:09.56\00:13:12.93
BUT HE WAS NOT STRONG
ENOUGH AND THEY LOST THEIR PLACE
00:13:12.93\00:13:15.40
IN HEAVEN.
00:13:15.40\00:13:16.86
THE GREAT DRAGON WAS HURLED
DOWN, THAT ANCIENT SERPENT
00:13:16.86\00:13:19.50
CALLED THE DEVIL, OR SATAN, WHO
LEADS THE WHOLE WORLD ASTRAY.
00:13:19.50\00:13:23.60
HE WAS HURLED TO THE
EARTH, AND HIS ANGELS WITH HIM.
00:13:23.60\00:13:27.10
THEN I HEARD A LOUD VOICE
IN HEAVEN SAY, 'NOW HAS COME
00:13:27.10\00:13:30.96
THE SALVATION AND THE POWER
AND THE KINGDOM OF OUR GOD,
00:13:30.96\00:13:36.26
AND THE AUTHORITY OF HIS CHRIST.
00:13:36.26\00:13:39.83
FOR THE ACCUSER OF OUR
BROTHERS, WHO ACCUSES THEM
00:13:39.83\00:13:42.30
BEFORE OUR GOD DAY AND
NIGHT, HAS BEEN HURLED DOWN.
00:13:42.30\00:13:46.10
THEY OVERCAME HIM BY THE BLOOD
OF THE LAMB AND BY THE WORD OF
00:13:46.10\00:13:50.63
THEIR TESTIMONY; THEY DID
NOT LOVE THEIR LIVES SO MUCH
00:13:50.63\00:13:55.16
AS TO SHRINK FROM DEATH.
00:13:55.16\00:13:58.03
THEREFORE REJOICE, YOU HEAVENS
AND YOU WHO DWELL IN THEM!
00:13:58.03\00:14:02.90
BUT WOE TO THE EARTH AND
TO THE SEA, BECAUSE THE DEVIL
00:14:02.90\00:14:06.56
HAS GONE DOWN TO YOU!
00:14:06.56\00:14:08.63
HE IS FILLED WITH FURY, BECAUSE
HE KNOWS THAT HIS TIME IS
00:14:08.63\00:14:14.03
SHORT.'" I WANT YOU
TO THINK ABOUT THIS.
00:14:14.03\00:14:19.10
THERE IS AN
UNSEEN WORLD, MY FRIEND.
00:14:19.10\00:14:22.73
THERE IS A DIFFERENT DIMENSION.
00:14:22.73\00:14:27.53
AND MANY, MANY YEARS
AGO, THERE WAS A COSMIC BATTLE
00:14:27.53\00:14:33.63
BETWEEN THE CREATOR
AND THE GREAT TROUBLEMAKER.
00:14:33.63\00:14:39.73
AND THE BIBLE SAYS
THEY WERE NOT STRONG ENOUGH.
00:14:39.73\00:14:42.93
THEY WERE CAST DOWN TO
THIS EARTH AND THIS EARTH BECAME
00:14:42.93\00:14:48.40
THE BATTLEFIELD.
00:14:48.40\00:14:49.90
LISTEN TO THIS.
00:14:49.90\00:14:52.43
I WANT THIS TO SINK
DOWN INTO YOUR EARS.
00:14:52.43\00:14:56.43
THE BATTLE FOR THE SOULS
OF MEN, NOT THE BATTLE BETWEEN
00:14:56.43\00:15:01.23
THE AMERICANS AND THE GERMANS,
OR THE GERMANS AND THE RUSSIANS,
00:15:01.23\00:15:06.00
THE BATTLE FOR THE SOULS
OF MEN WERE SO IMPORTANT THAT
00:15:06.00\00:15:11.40
THE CREATOR OF A BILLION,
TRILLION GALAXIES BECAME A MAN
00:15:11.40\00:15:18.66
AND DIED ON THE
CROSS FOR OUR REDEMPTION.
00:15:18.66\00:15:22.73
I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT THIS.
00:15:22.73\00:15:24.90
IT'S SO HARD FOR THE
MIND OF MAN, WHICH TODAY IS
00:15:24.90\00:15:30.50
SHRINKING--YOU
KNOW WHY IT'S SHRINKING?
00:15:30.50\00:15:35.50
BECAUSE IT IS NO LONGER
CONTEMPLATING THE THINGS
00:15:35.50\00:15:38.90
OF GOD.
00:15:38.90\00:15:40.10
IT IS MESMERIZED BY THE WORLD.
00:15:40.10\00:15:43.93
AND PEOPLE ARE SO DRUNK
WITH COMPUTERS AND E-MAIL
00:15:43.93\00:15:51.80
AND TEXTING AND
EVERY ONE OF THESE THINGS.
00:15:51.80\00:16:03.53
AND MUCH OF IT IS
COMPLETE AND ABSOLUTE TRIVIA.
00:16:03.53\00:16:10.23
AND THEY DO NOT COMPREHEND THE
FACT THAT WE ARE IN THE MIDST
00:16:10.23\00:16:16.20
OF THE BATTLE OF THE UNIVERSE.
00:16:16.20\00:16:20.80
AND THE BATTLE IS SO VITAL FOR
THE SOULS OF MEN AND WOMEN THAT
00:16:20.80\00:16:26.83
THE CREATOR HIMSELF CAME
DOWN AND DIED ON THE CROSS.
00:16:26.83\00:16:31.86
WOULD YOU COME OVER
HERE TO JOHN 1, WHERE WE READ
00:16:31.86\00:16:35.40
THE STORY?
00:16:35.40\00:16:36.93
MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE,
AND JOHN IN THE HOLY BIBLE.
00:16:36.93\00:16:41.06
JOHN 1:1-3.
00:16:41.06\00:16:44.76
THE HOLY BIBLE SAYS, "IN
THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD,
00:16:44.76\00:16:49.00
AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD."
00:16:49.00\00:16:50.43
THE WORD IS JESUS.
00:16:50.43\00:16:52.30
"AND THE WORD WAS WITH
GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD.
00:16:52.30\00:16:55.83
HE WAS WITH GOD
IN THE BEGINNING.
00:16:55.83\00:16:58.40
THOUGH HIM ALL THINGS WERE
MADE; WITHOUT HIM NOTHING WAS
00:16:58.40\00:17:01.56
MADE THAT HAS BEEN MADE."
00:17:01.56\00:17:04.76
YOU COME TO VERSE 10, "HE
WAS IN THE WORLD, AND THOUGH THE
00:17:04.76\00:17:07.66
WORLD WAS MADE THROUGH HIM, THE
WORLD DID NOT RECOGNIZE HIM."
00:17:07.66\00:17:12.00
DIDN'T RECOGNIZE HIM THEM.
00:17:12.00\00:17:13.76
DOESN'T RECOGNIZE HIM NOW.
00:17:13.76\00:17:16.30
BUT THEN YOU COME TO VERSE 14,
"THE WORD BECAME FLESH AND MADE
00:17:16.30\00:17:20.16
HIS DWELLING AMONG US.
00:17:20.16\00:17:21.76
WE HAVE SEEN HIS GLORY,
THE GLORY OF THE ONE AND ONLY,
00:17:21.76\00:17:25.60
WHO CAME FROM THE FATHER,
FULL OF GRACE AND TRUTH."
00:17:25.60\00:17:31.76
LISTEN TO ME, MY FRIENDS
WATCHING IN AUSTRALIA, IN
00:17:31.76\00:17:36.73
AMERICA, AND AROUND THE WORLD.
00:17:36.73\00:17:39.70
LISTEN TO THIS GREAT TRUTH.
00:17:39.70\00:17:43.00
BY GOD'S GRACE, I PRAY THAT
YOUR EYES WILL BE OPEN TODAY.
00:17:43.00\00:17:49.46
THEREFORE, BECAUSE OF HIS DEATH
FOR OUR SINS, THEREFORE THE
00:17:49.46\00:17:55.46
GREATEST WORK IN ALL THE
WORLD IS THE PROCLAMATION OF THE
00:17:55.46\00:17:59.30
GOSPEL AND THE WINNING
OF SOULS TO HIS KINGDOM.
00:17:59.30\00:18:08.03
I WANT TO TELL
YOU FOLKS SOMETHING.
00:18:08.03\00:18:10.20
PREACHING IN RUSSIA TODAY
IS NOT LIKE IT USED TO BE.
00:18:10.20\00:18:13.93
WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW WHY?
00:18:13.93\00:18:16.26
IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.
00:18:16.26\00:18:17.90
THE SHOCK FOR US
WAS OVERWHELMING.
00:18:17.90\00:18:20.70
THE PEOPLE HAVE
BECOME WESTERNIZED.
00:18:20.70\00:18:24.53
EVERYBODY'S GOT A CELL PHONE.
00:18:24.53\00:18:26.50
THEIR TELEVISION IS MORE
SOPHISTICATED AND JUST AS
00:18:26.50\00:18:29.83
CORRUPT AS OURS.
00:18:29.83\00:18:33.06
THE LITTLE, OLD BABUSHKAS DON'T
COME OUT BY THE THOUSANDS AND
00:18:33.06\00:18:39.43
THE HUNDREDS OF THE THOUSANDS
TO THE MEETINGS ANYMORE
00:18:39.43\00:18:43.00
BECAUSE THEY'RE
HOME WATCHING TELEVISION.
00:18:43.00\00:18:46.26
AND TO TALK THEM NOW, ONCE UPON
A TIME WHEN YOU LOOKED IN THEIR
00:18:46.26\00:18:50.20
EYES, YOU COULD SEE THEY WERE
TAKING IT IN, SOAKING IT UP.
00:18:50.20\00:18:55.16
BUT NOW, MANY OF
THEM ARE JUST GLAZED OVER.
00:18:55.16\00:19:00.76
BEWARE, AMERICA.
00:19:00.76\00:19:04.03
WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW WHY
PEOPLE ARE GONNA GET THE MARK
00:19:04.03\00:19:06.00
OF THE BEAST?
00:19:06.00\00:19:06.93
IT IS BECAUSE THEIR MINDS
HAVE BEEN DESTROYED BY THE MEDIA
00:19:06.93\00:19:11.80
AND BY OUR SINS.
00:19:11.80\00:19:14.26
THE GREATEST WORK IN ALL
THE WORLD IS THE PROCLAMATION
00:19:14.26\00:19:16.53
OF THE GOSPEL AND THE
WINNING OF SOULS TO HIS KINGDOM.
00:19:16.53\00:19:19.13
I HAVE ONLY ONE LIFE.
00:19:19.13\00:19:20.50
WHAT SHALL I DO WITH MY LIFE?
00:19:20.50\00:19:24.80
I WANT TO SAY TO THE YOUNG
PEOPLE HERE TODAY, WHAT ARE YOU
00:19:24.80\00:19:28.13
GOING TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE?
00:19:28.13\00:19:30.20
ARE YOU GOING TO BE
LIKE SO MANY BELIEVERS HERE
00:19:30.20\00:19:33.73
IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA?
00:19:33.73\00:19:34.96
ARE YOU GOING TO
LIVE FOR ONE THING?
00:19:34.96\00:19:39.46
FOR MONEY YOU'RE GONNA STUFF
IN YOUR POCKET WHEN YOUR SOUL
00:19:39.46\00:19:44.23
IS SO EMPTY?
00:19:44.23\00:19:46.50
WOULD TO GOD THAT EVERY YOUNG
MAN, YOUNG WOMAN WATCHING THIS
00:19:46.50\00:19:49.76
TELECAST WOULD SAY, "I WILL
BE A PREACHER OF THE GOSPEL,"
00:19:49.76\00:19:56.60
BECAUSE IT IS THE
GREATEST WORK IN ALL THE WORLD.
00:19:56.60\00:20:03.53
I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THE
OUTCOME OF THIS GREAT BATTLE
00:20:03.53\00:20:07.00
BETWEEN THE CREATOR
AND THE GREAT TROUBLEMAKER
00:20:07.00\00:20:09.93
IS ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN.
00:20:09.93\00:20:11.96
WOULD YOU COME OVER
HERE TO REVELATION 7:9?
00:20:11.96\00:20:15.73
TURN TO THIS TEXT.
00:20:15.73\00:20:17.40
REVELATION 7:9.
00:20:17.40\00:20:21.13
REVELATION 7:9, "AFTER THIS I
LOOKED AND THERE BEFORE ME WAS
00:20:21.13\00:20:24.66
A GREAT MULTITUDE THAT NO ONE
COULD COUNT, FROM EVERY NATION,
00:20:24.66\00:20:28.23
TRIBE, PEOPLE AND LANGUAGE,
STANDING BEFORE THE THRONE
00:20:28.23\00:20:31.33
AND IN FRONT OF THE LAMB.
00:20:31.33\00:20:32.73
THEY WERE WEARING WHITE ROBES
AND WERE HOLDING PALM BRANCHES
00:20:32.73\00:20:35.80
IN THEIR HANDS.
00:20:35.80\00:20:36.86
AND THEY CRIED OUT IN A
LOUD VOICE, 'SALVATION BELONGS
00:20:36.86\00:20:39.60
TO OUR GOD, WHO SITS ON
THE THRONE, AND TO THE LAMB.'"
00:20:39.60\00:20:43.90
THIS TEXT GIVES ME TREMENDOUS
ENCOURAGEMENT IN SPITE OF
00:20:43.90\00:20:49.83
THE WORLDLINESS THAT HAS INVADED
THE CHURCH IN AMERICA, IN
00:20:49.83\00:20:54.83
AUSTRALIA, AND NOW IN RUSSIA,
IN SPITE OF THE INDIFFERENCE,
00:20:54.83\00:20:59.63
IN SPITE OF THE SIN.
00:20:59.63\00:21:02.30
FINALLY, THERE'S GOING TO BE
A VAST NUMBER OF SOULS WHO ARE
00:21:02.30\00:21:08.03
SAVED IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
00:21:08.03\00:21:12.36
THE BIBLE SAYS
YOU CAN'T NUMBER THEM.
00:21:12.36\00:21:16.23
ARE YOU GOING TO BE THERE?
00:21:16.23\00:21:17.43
COME OVER HERE TO
REVELATION 20:7-9.
00:21:17.43\00:21:21.13
AND IT TALKS ABOUT THE
END OF THIS GREAT BATTLE.
00:21:21.13\00:21:23.30
REVELATION 20:7-9, "WHEN
THE THOUSAND YEARS ARE OVER,
00:21:23.30\00:21:27.90
SATAN WILL BE RELEASED FROM
HIS PRISON AND WILL GO OUT TO
00:21:27.90\00:21:30.73
DECEIVE THE NATIONS IN
THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH,
00:21:30.73\00:21:33.36
GOG AND MAGOG, TO
GATHER THEM FOR BATTLE.
00:21:33.36\00:21:36.33
IN NUMBER THEY ARE LIKE
THE SAND ON THE SEASHORE.
00:21:36.33\00:21:38.60
THEY MARCHED ACROSS THE BREADTH
OF THE EARTH AND SURROUNDED
00:21:38.60\00:21:40.96
THE CAMP OF GOD'S
PEOPLE, THE CITY HE LOVES.
00:21:40.96\00:21:43.46
BUT FIRE CAME DOWN FROM
HEAVEN AND DEVOURED THEM."
00:21:43.46\00:21:47.46
SO THAT IS THE END.
00:21:47.46\00:21:49.36
SIN IS GOING TO BE FINISHED.
00:21:49.36\00:21:52.50
AND LOOK AT
CHAPTER 21 AND VERSE 1.
00:21:52.50\00:21:56.46
"THEN I SAW A NEW HEAVEN AND A
NEW EARTH, FOR THE FIRST HEAVEN
00:21:56.46\00:22:02.50
AND THE FIRST EARTH HAD
PASSED AWAY, AND THERE WAS
00:22:02.50\00:22:06.26
NO LONGER ANY SEA.
00:22:06.26\00:22:08.13
I SAW THE HOLY CITY, THE
NEW JERUSALEM, COMING DOWN OUT
00:22:08.13\00:22:11.96
OF HEAVEN FROM GOD, PREPARED
AS A BRIDE BEAUTIFULLY DRESSED
00:22:11.96\00:22:15.80
FOR HER HUSBAND."
00:22:15.80\00:22:17.20
AND COME DOWN TO VERSE 5.
00:22:17.20\00:22:19.16
"HE WHO WAS SEATED ON
THE THRONE SAID, 'I AM MAKING
00:22:19.16\00:22:22.80
EVERYTHING NEW!' THEN
HE SAID, 'WRITE THIS DOWN,
00:22:22.80\00:22:26.16
FOR THESE WORDS ARE
TRUSTWORTHY AND TRUE.'"
00:22:26.16\00:22:31.50
LET ME OPEN MY HEART TO YOU.
00:22:31.50\00:22:36.46
I WANT TO SAY
THIS TO PASTOR O'CONNOR
00:22:36.46\00:22:38.40
AND EVERY PERSON.
00:22:38.40\00:22:40.90
I'VE SAID THIS
TO PASTOR O'CONNOR.
00:22:40.90\00:22:42.73
I SAY IT TO HIM AGAIN.
00:22:42.73\00:22:44.06
I COULD NOT CONTENT TO BE A
CHURCH PASTOR WHO SPENDS HIS
00:22:44.06\00:22:50.20
TIME SORTING OUT PROBLEMS
IN THE CHURCH WHEN THERE'S
00:22:50.20\00:22:55.06
A WORLD THAT'S DYING.
00:22:55.06\00:23:01.73
THE WORK OF THE CHURCH IS
NOT JUST TO HAVE COMMITTEE
00:23:01.73\00:23:08.13
MEETINGS, THOUGH
MAYBE YOU NEED THEM.
00:23:08.13\00:23:11.40
THE WORK OF THE CHURCH IS
NOT PRIMARILY TO DO GOOD DEEDS.
00:23:11.40\00:23:17.33
THE WORK OF THE CHURCH IS TO
WIN THE LOST TO CHRIST AND THAT
00:23:17.33\00:23:23.80
IS WHY, MY FRIEND, THE
"CARTER REPORT" EXISTS AND THAT
00:23:23.80\00:23:27.40
IS WHY WE'RE PARTNERS WITH 3ABN.
00:23:27.40\00:23:31.50
I'M GOING TO TELL YOU NOW,
OR SHARE WITH YOU, SOME STORIES
00:23:31.50\00:23:34.00
FROM THE BATTLEFIELD.
00:23:34.00\00:23:35.40
BUT THE PERSON WHO'S GOING
TO BE INTERVIEWED RIGHT NOW
00:23:35.40\00:23:37.90
IS SUSAN PIRAINO.
00:23:37.90\00:23:38.93
WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME, SUSAN?
00:23:38.93\00:23:41.40
[CONGREGATION APPLAUDING]
>> SUSAN IS THE DIRECTOR
00:23:41.40\00:23:45.63
OF COMMUNICATIONS FOR
THE "CARTER REPORT" MINISTRY
00:23:45.63\00:23:49.00
AND DOES A TERRIFIC JOB.
00:23:49.00\00:23:52.96
WHAT WAS VOLGOGRAD LIKE?
00:23:52.96\00:23:56.70
>> WELL, VOLGOGRAD WAS
DIFFERENT TO ANY OF THE RUSSIAN
00:23:56.70\00:23:59.23
CITIES WE'D BEEN TO BEFORE.
00:23:59.23\00:24:00.93
IT WAS COMPLETELY A
DIFFERENT ATMOSPHERE.
00:24:00.93\00:24:04.83
THE--WE DROVE AROUND AND THERE
WAS JUST THESE WONDERFUL MALLS,
00:24:04.83\00:24:09.43
RESTAURANTS, SHOPS.
00:24:09.43\00:24:11.23
IT WAS LIKE BEING
BACK HOME, ACTUALLY.
00:24:11.23\00:24:14.23
>> DID YOU DO
SOME GOOD SHOPPING?
00:24:14.23\00:24:16.23
>> NO, BECAUSE I COULDN'T
AFFORD ANY OF THE THINGS
00:24:16.23\00:24:18.20
IN THE SHOPS.
00:24:18.20\00:24:19.83
WE WENT LOOKING AROUND JUST
TO CHECK OUT PRICES AND I WAS
00:24:19.83\00:24:23.60
EXCITED BECAUSE THERE
WAS A GREAT PAIR OF SHOES.
00:24:23.60\00:24:25.83
AND I THOUGHT, "HALF OFF.
00:24:25.83\00:24:27.60
WOW, THIS WILL BE A DEAL."
00:24:27.60\00:24:28.73
AND IT WAS $200.
00:24:28.73\00:24:30.70
THAT WAS THE HALF OFF PRICE.
00:24:30.70\00:24:32.50
SO I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, "WELL,
I GUESS I WON'T BE BUYING ANY."
00:24:32.50\00:24:36.16
BEFORE WE WENT THERE,
SUSAN, SOMEBODY TOLD US--BECAUSE
00:24:36.16\00:24:39.76
I ALWAYS GO AND VISIT THE
CITY BEFORE I GO TO IT BECAUSE I
00:24:39.76\00:24:42.60
WANT TO CHECK IT OUT, BUT THIS
TIME I DIDN'T GO AND I ASKED
00:24:42.60\00:24:46.00
A RUSSIAN FRIEND, WHOM I
THOUGHT WOULD REALLY KNOW,
00:24:46.00\00:24:48.53
"WHAT'S IT LIKE?
00:24:48.53\00:24:49.83
HOW HAS THE ECONOMY
BEEN AFFECTED BY WALL STREET,
00:24:49.83\00:24:52.50
BY THE COLLAPSE OF
THE WORLD ECONOMIES?"
00:24:52.50\00:24:54.73
HE SAID, "IT HASN'T BEEN
AFFECTED BECAUSE THEY DON'T
00:24:54.73\00:24:57.00
HAVE AN ECONOMY."
00:24:57.00\00:24:58.03
HE SAID, "SO POOR."
00:24:58.03\00:25:00.70
>> NO, IT WASN'T POOR AT ALL.
00:25:00.70\00:25:01.90
ACTUALLY, THERE WAS, I THINK,
TWO OR THREE BANKS ALMOST ON
00:25:01.90\00:25:04.96
EVERY SINGLE BLOCK, SO THAT
TELLS YOU SOMETHING RIGHT NOW
00:25:04.96\00:25:07.43
WHEN YOU'RE SEEING
BANKS ALL OVER THE PLACE.
00:25:07.43\00:25:09.83
>> TELL ME ABOUT SOME
OF THE PEOPLE WHO CAME
00:25:09.83\00:25:11.70
TO THE MEETINGS.
00:25:11.70\00:25:12.53
>> OH, IT WAS--THAT WAS
EXCITING TO SEE BECAUSE I HAD
00:25:12.53\00:25:15.00
NEVER SEEN A CITY
WITH SO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE.
00:25:15.00\00:25:17.43
I MEAN, IT WAS--WHEREVER
YOU LOOKED, THEY WERE YOUNG.
00:25:17.43\00:25:20.63
AND SO I THOUGHT, "I
WONDER IF THESE YOUNG KIDS
00:25:20.63\00:25:23.03
ARE GONNA BE COMING."
00:25:23.03\00:25:24.03
AND SURE ENOUGH, WE HAD A
YOUNG CROWD OF PEOPLE COMING.
00:25:24.03\00:25:27.30
THEY WERE IN THEIR, YOU KNOW,
EARLY, YOUNG TWENTIES, THIRTIES.
00:25:27.30\00:25:31.26
IT WAS--THAT WAS GREAT TO SEE.
00:25:31.26\00:25:33.10
>> WHEN YOU THINK RUSSIA,
I'VE BEEN THERE 37 TIMES.
00:25:33.10\00:25:37.46
WE'RE GOING BACK FOR
A GREAT BIBLE CONFERENCE
00:25:37.46\00:25:39.96
IN NIZHNY NOVGOROD WITH
500 OF OUR PASTORS SHORTLY.
00:25:39.96\00:25:44.36
WHEN YOU THINK
RUSSIA, YOU THINK COLD, SNOW.
00:25:44.36\00:25:49.56
WHAT WAS IT LIKE IN VOLGOGRAD?
00:25:49.56\00:25:51.63
>> IT WAS THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE.
00:25:51.63\00:25:53.66
IT WAS PROBABLY THE
HOTTEST-- IT WAS A HOT SPELL.
00:25:53.66\00:25:56.90
AND I THINK THE AVERAGE
TEMPERATURE ON THE FIRST WEEK
00:25:56.90\00:25:59.20
WAS OVER 100 DEGREES.
00:25:59.20\00:26:00.96
AND SO, OBVIOUSLY WE WERE IN
AUDITORIUM AND THEY DON'T HAVE
00:26:00.96\00:26:04.90
AIR CONDITIONING.
00:26:04.90\00:26:06.10
AND I THINK ONE DAY THE
TEMPERATURE IN THE AUDITORIUM
00:26:06.10\00:26:08.76
WAS 106 DEGREES.
00:26:08.76\00:26:10.93
AND SO IT WAS AMAZING
THAT ANYONE CAME INSIDE.
00:26:10.93\00:26:15.26
AND OBVIOUSLY THAT'S ONLY
THE SPIRIT OF GOD THAT WOULD
00:26:15.26\00:26:17.46
BROUGHT THE--THAT
BROUGHT THE PEOPLE IN BECAUSE
00:26:17.46\00:26:19.96
IT WAS SO HOT.
00:26:19.96\00:26:21.00
>> IT WAS AT LEAST
130 DEGREES UNDER MY COAT.
00:26:21.00\00:26:24.06
>> YEAH, WITH THE
SPOTLIGHTS AND--I KNOW.
00:26:24.06\00:26:26.63
IT WAS UNBEARABLE,
REALLY, TO BE SITTING THERE.
00:26:26.63\00:26:30.16
AND, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES I
WONDER BECAUSE WE COME INTO
00:26:30.16\00:26:32.80
CHURCH AND WE SAY, "OH,
IT'S NOT 70 DEGREES IN HERE,"
00:26:32.80\00:26:35.36
AND WE'RE COMPLAINING.
00:26:35.36\00:26:36.73
AND I'M THINKING, "BOY, THESE
PEOPLE JUST--YOU KNOW, THEY'RE
00:26:36.73\00:26:39.93
SITTING HERE AND THEY'RE
LISTENING TO A LECTURE FOR AN
00:26:39.93\00:26:42.56
HOUR IN 105 DEGREES, AND THE
FANS ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH,
00:26:42.56\00:26:47.13
AND THEY WOULDN'T MOVE."
00:26:47.13\00:26:48.70
IT--WE DON'T SEE THAT HERE.
00:26:48.70\00:26:51.03
>> YOU REMEMBER THE GREAT
PROJECTORS WE TOOK OVER AND HOW
00:26:51.03\00:26:53.73
THEY GOT STUCK IN CUSTOMS?
00:26:53.73\00:26:55.36
AND WE HAD TO PAY $8,000
TO GET 'EM OUT OF CUSTOMS.
00:26:55.36\00:27:00.63
WHEN WE SET THE PROJECTORS
UP, THEY RAN FOR A LITTLE WHILE
00:27:00.63\00:27:03.83
AND ONE OF THEM STOPPED.
00:27:03.83\00:27:05.63
AND SO, JUST BEFORE
THE MEETINGS COMMENCED,
00:27:05.63\00:27:08.43
WE WENT AROUND THE CITY.
00:27:08.43\00:27:10.00
JAVIER WENT LOOKING AND WE
FOUND SOME AIR CONDITIONING
00:27:10.00\00:27:13.43
UNITS AND WE SORT OF FITTED
THEM INTO THOSE PROJECTORS
00:27:13.43\00:27:18.13
TO GIVE THEM SOME COLD AIR,
ELSE THEY COULDN'T FUNCTION.
00:27:18.13\00:27:21.63
TELL ME SPECIFICALLY ABOUT
SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO CAME.
00:27:21.63\00:27:24.96
>> WELL, I MADE FRIENDS
WITH A YOUNG BROTHER AND SISTER.
00:27:24.96\00:27:28.93
THEY WERE 11 AND 13 AND
THEY CAME AND SAT WITH ME
00:27:28.93\00:27:32.10
EVERY SINGLE DAY.
00:27:32.10\00:27:33.20
AND I WAS JUST
AMAZED TO SEE SHE SAT THERE
00:27:33.20\00:27:35.96
AND SHE TOOK NOTES.
00:27:35.96\00:27:37.13
SHE WAS 13 YEARS OLD.
00:27:37.13\00:27:38.26
SHE TOOK A NOTE OF
EVERY SINGLE THING YOU SAID.
00:27:38.26\00:27:40.36
SHE MARKED IT IN HER BIBLE
AND THEY WERE JUST SO EXCITED.
00:27:40.36\00:27:43.40
SHE TOLD ME, "I HAVE NOT MISSED
ONE MEETING AND I'M GONNA GET
00:27:43.40\00:27:46.16
MY BIBLE."
00:27:46.16\00:27:47.20
AND SO IT--SHE WAS--THEY
WERE SPECIAL TO ME, OBVIOUSLY,
00:27:47.20\00:27:50.70
BUT THERE WAS JUST
A LOT OF YOUNG PEOPLE.
00:27:50.70\00:27:53.23
THERE WAS MARIA,
WHO HAD BEEN STRUGGLING
00:27:53.23\00:27:55.30
IN HER PERSONAL LIFE.
00:27:55.30\00:27:56.60
AND SHE WAS--SHE WOULD RUN
TO THE MEETINGS EVERY DAY AND
00:27:56.60\00:28:00.36
A COUPLE TIMES SHE HAD TO LEAVE
EARLY BECAUSE SHE HAD TO GO TO
00:28:00.36\00:28:02.76
WORK, SO SHE WOULD LIKE
TOUCH HER HEART BEFORE SHE LEFT
00:28:02.76\00:28:06.16
BECAUSE SHE WAS SO
SAD THAT SHE HAD TO LEAVE.
00:28:06.16\00:28:08.50
BUT IT--I WAS JUST
BLESSED BY THE PEOPLE THERE.
00:28:08.50\00:28:12.66
>> I CAN STILL SEE MARIA.
00:28:12.66\00:28:14.03
SHE USED TO SIT DOWN HERE
AND I JUST HOPE SHE'S OKAY.
00:28:14.03\00:28:19.60
LET ME SAY THIS.
00:28:19.60\00:28:21.90
YOU'VE BECOME AN EXPERT NOW
IN RUSSIAN HOSPITALS, I'M TOLD.
00:28:21.90\00:28:26.23
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?
00:28:26.23\00:28:27.60
>> OH, THAT WAS--THAT WAS
A SCARY, TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE
00:28:27.60\00:28:30.86
FOR ME.
00:28:30.86\00:28:31.96
I DON'T--FOR SOME REASON,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED,
00:28:31.96\00:28:34.53
I JUST GOT SEVERE PAIN
IN MY BACK AND I WAS HAVING
00:28:34.53\00:28:37.60
A HARD TIME BREATHING.
00:28:37.60\00:28:39.13
I COULDN'T WALK, I COULDN'T
MOVE, I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING.
00:28:39.13\00:28:42.43
AND SO I THOUGHT, "OH, GREAT,
I'M GONNA BE BURIED IN RUSSIA."
00:28:42.43\00:28:46.30
>> I WANT YOU TO KNOW WE
WOULD HAVE BROUGHT YOU BACK.
00:28:46.30\00:28:50.96
>> SO, OBVIOUSLY IT WAS BAD
ENOUGH THAT I HAD TO BE TAKEN
00:28:50.96\00:28:54.23
TO THE HOSPITAL AND IT WAS
LIKE GOING BACK IN TIME 60 YEARS
00:28:54.23\00:28:59.23
WHEN I GOT TO THE HOSPITAL.
00:28:59.23\00:29:01.06
BUT WHEN I MET THE STAFF,
THE DOCTORS, AND THEY WERE
00:29:01.06\00:29:05.16
JUST--THEY WERE
SO EXTREMELY HELPFUL.
00:29:05.16\00:29:07.66
I WAS THE FIRST FOREIGNER
TO BE IN THAT HOSPITAL.
00:29:07.66\00:29:11.10
>> SO YOU WENT TO VOLGOGRAD,
THE OLD CITY OF STALINGRAD.
00:29:11.10\00:29:15.60
ARE YOU GLAD YOU WENT, SUSAN?
00:29:15.60\00:29:17.60
>> IT'S THE BEST THING I
THINK I COULD HAVE EVER DONE.
00:29:17.60\00:29:21.36
I--EVERY TIME I GO THERE,
I KNOW I KEEP SAYING THIS,
00:29:21.36\00:29:24.46
IT JUST RENEWS MY FAITH
AND IT MAKES ME UNDERSTAND WHY
00:29:24.46\00:29:29.86
THIS IS SO IMPORTANT, WHAT
WE DO, BECAUSE I SEE ALL THESE
00:29:29.86\00:29:32.46
PEOPLE THAT I'M THINKING,
"WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE HADN'T
00:29:32.46\00:29:35.86
GONE AND THEY WOULD NOT
HAVE HEARD ABOUT JESUS?"
00:29:35.86\00:29:39.36
I THINK OF ANNA AND DANIEL, MY
TWO FRIENDS, AND I'M THINKING,
00:29:39.36\00:29:43.36
"WOW, THEY KNOW
JESUS," AND IT'S JUST AMAZING.
00:29:43.36\00:29:48.00
AND I THINK WE NEED TO
CONCENTRATE ON DOING MORE
00:29:48.00\00:29:50.43
OF THIS.
00:29:50.43\00:29:51.36
AND I WISH WE COULD GO BACK.
00:29:51.36\00:29:52.46
AND IF THERE WAS A MEETING ON
NEXT WEEK, I'D BE READY TO GO.
00:29:52.46\00:29:56.36
>> WHAT ABOUT THE TEAM MEMBERS?
00:29:56.36\00:29:57.50
WE TOOK SOME AUSTRALIANS
AND WE TOOK SOME AMERICANS.
00:29:57.50\00:30:00.43
TELL US ABOUT THE TEAM MEMBERS.
00:30:00.43\00:30:01.86
>> THIS WAS ACTUALLY THE
SMALLEST TEAM THAT WE'VE EVER
00:30:01.86\00:30:04.06
HAD WITH US BECAUSE OF SO
MANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT WE HAD
00:30:04.06\00:30:07.16
A WONDERFUL TEAM.
00:30:07.16\00:30:08.23
EVERYBODY
HAD--THERE WAS A GREAT SPIRIT.
00:30:08.23\00:30:10.10
WE ALL WORKED TOGETHER.
00:30:10.10\00:30:11.33
AND I JUST WANT TO NAME THEM
BECAUSE THERE WAS A SMALL TEAM
00:30:11.33\00:30:15.53
AND I WROTE THE NAMES DOWN
SO I WOULDN'T FORGET ANYBODY.
00:30:15.53\00:30:18.46
SO WE HAD DON BEAGLE,
BOB LUDWIG, DAVID CARTER,
00:30:18.46\00:30:22.63
DANIEL BERGOSS,
CARLOS LEON, JAVIER PIRAINO.
00:30:22.63\00:30:26.36
WE HAD PASTOR O'CONNOR.
00:30:26.36\00:30:27.60
WE HAD ANI O'CONNOR.
00:30:27.60\00:30:28.90
WE HAD ERWIN LIEBELT.
00:30:28.90\00:30:30.56
WE HAD DIANA HURLBERT.
00:30:30.56\00:30:32.03
SHE WAS FROM SAN FRANCISCO.
00:30:32.03\00:30:33.26
WE HAD GERTRUDE
AYALA AND HARRY CURL.
00:30:33.26\00:30:35.86
THEY WERE BOTH FROM TEXAS.
00:30:35.86\00:30:37.60
WE HAD HARRY
REESE--I MEAN, REESE LARSEN.
00:30:37.60\00:30:40.56
AND HE WAS FROM WASHINGTON.
00:30:40.56\00:30:42.13
AND THEN WE HAD TWO FOLKS THAT
CAME WITH US FROM AUSTRALIA,
00:30:42.13\00:30:46.00
BARBARA MITCHELL
AND JOHN COSMEYER.
00:30:46.00\00:30:48.50
AND THEY WERE A GREAT BLESSING.
00:30:48.50\00:30:49.76
AND THEN, OF COURSE, WE
HAD BEVERLEY AND, OF COURSE,
00:30:49.76\00:30:52.06
YOURSELF.
00:30:52.06\00:30:53.36
SO IT'S A GOOD TEAM.
00:30:53.36\00:30:54.53
>> SO WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU
TO THOSE FOLKS AND WE WANT TO
00:30:54.53\00:30:56.73
THANK YOU, SUSAN, TOO FOR WHAT
YOU DO AND FOR COMING WITH US
00:30:56.73\00:30:59.76
TO VOLGOGRAD.
00:30:59.76\00:31:01.13
GOD BLESS YOU, SUSAN.
00:31:01.13\00:31:02.56
[APPLAUDING]
00:31:02.56\00:31:06.03
>> TWO OF OUR TEAM MEMBERS,
AS SUSAN TOLD YOU, WERE PASTOR
00:31:08.33\00:31:11.93
AND MRS. J.P. O'CONNOR.
00:31:11.93\00:31:14.53
I'M GOING TO GET THEM TO COME
NOW AND THEY'RE GOING TO BRING
00:31:14.53\00:31:16.63
US SOME MUSIC.
00:31:16.63\00:31:17.63
THEY SANG FOR US, OH,
ALMOST EVERY NIGHT OVER THERE
00:31:17.63\00:31:21.10
IN THIS GREAT AUDITORIUM.
00:31:21.10\00:31:23.10
AND THE RUSSIANS LOVE THEM.
00:31:23.10\00:31:24.90
SO WOULD YOU PLEASE WELCOME
PASTOR AND MRS. O'CONNOR.
00:31:24.90\00:31:29.90
[APPLAUDING]
00:31:29.90\00:31:32.90
[MUSIC]
00:31:38.03\00:31:43.03
? OH FAITHFUL FATHER,

00:31:54.10\00:32:06.76

[APPLAUDING]
00:36:42.30\00:36:45.30
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
00:36:52.23\00:36:53.10
WASN'T THAT BEAUTIFUL?
00:36:53.10\00:36:54.90
WOULD YOU LIKE TO
COME OVER NEAR ME PLEASE?
00:36:54.90\00:36:57.83
THESE FOLKS WERE LOVED BY
THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE, JUST AS WE
00:36:57.83\00:37:02.03
LOVE THEM TOO.
00:37:02.03\00:37:04.83
MRS. O'CONNOR, WHAT WERE
YOUR OVERWHELMING IMPRESSIONS?
00:37:04.83\00:37:10.83
THIS IS YOUR
FIRST VISIT TO RUSSIA.
00:37:10.83\00:37:14.43
IT'S A GREAT CIVILIZATION.
00:37:14.43\00:37:16.46
IT HAS A GREAT CULTURE,
WONDERFUL PEOPLE, SOME OF THE
00:37:16.46\00:37:22.73
FRIENDLIEST PEOPLE ON
THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
00:37:22.73\00:37:24.73
WHAT WERE YOUR OVERWHELMING
IMPRESSIONS OF VOLGOGRAD?
00:37:24.73\00:37:29.70
>> VOLGOGRAD, RUSSIA,
WAS A VERY EXCITING PLACE.
00:37:29.70\00:37:33.53
IT'S FULL OF HISTORY.
00:37:33.53\00:37:35.16
I LOVED IT.
00:37:35.16\00:37:36.53
I ALSO FELT THE PAIN STILL THAT
LINGERS ON FROM WARS AND FROM
00:37:36.53\00:37:41.80
THE OPPRESSION IN THE FACES
OF THE OLDER GENERATION, BUT THE
00:37:41.80\00:37:45.86
YOUNG GENERATION SUPPRESSES IT
WITH ENTERTAINMENT AND DRINKING
00:37:45.86\00:37:51.03
AND PARTYING.
00:37:51.03\00:37:52.10
AND THESE PEOPLE
CAME INTO THE MEETING.
00:37:52.10\00:37:54.90
YOU COULD SEE THEM.
00:37:54.90\00:37:55.93
THE FIRST NIGHT, I REMEMBER
SEEING ALL THESE YOUNG PEOPLE
00:37:55.93\00:37:58.46
COMING IN FOR THE EXCITEMENT
OF KING TUT AND ALL THIS STUFF.
00:37:58.46\00:38:02.73
I LOVE TO SEE THEM.
00:38:02.73\00:38:04.16
AND I ALSO SAW THE--NOT
SO MUCH THE OLDER LADIES.
00:38:04.16\00:38:09.30
LATER ON, I SAW THEM, THE
BABUSHKAS COMING IN, AND IT WAS
00:38:09.30\00:38:14.00
A GREAT FEELING TO GIVE
'EM A HUG AND WELCOME THEM IN.
00:38:14.00\00:38:18.10
>> ARE YOU GLAD YOU WENT?
00:38:18.10\00:38:19.46
>> ABSOLUTELY.
00:38:19.46\00:38:20.53
THAT WAS AN EXCITING EXPERIENCE
TO BE IN A PLACE LIKE VOLGOGRAD
00:38:20.53\00:38:25.56
AND BE ABLE TO SHARE THE LORD,
BE ABLE TO SHARE THROUGH MUSIC.
00:38:25.56\00:38:29.73
>> WHAT DID IT DO FOR
YOU PERSONALLY, ANI O'CONNOR?
00:38:29.73\00:38:35.46
>> VOLGOGRAD, THE PEOPLE WILL
ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART, SEEING
00:38:35.46\00:38:42.20
THAT THESE PEOPLE WOULD
NOT--WERE TAUGHT NOT TO BELIEVE
00:38:42.20\00:38:47.26
THAT GOD EXISTED.
00:38:47.26\00:38:49.80
AS I WAS SPEAKING TO ONE
OF THE TRANSLATORS ONE DAY,
00:38:49.80\00:38:53.03
SHE WAS SAYING TO ME THAT, "HOW
CAN--YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU COME
00:38:53.03\00:38:57.53
WITH THIS MESSAGE, HOW CAN YOU
BELIEVE IN SOMETHING, IN SOME
00:38:57.53\00:39:00.86
FANTASY FAIRY-TALE LIKE THAT?"
00:39:00.86\00:39:03.43
BUT WHEN I SAW THE PEOPLE
GOING INTO THE BAPTISMAL WATERS,
00:39:03.43\00:39:08.53
THAT WAS SO IMPRESSIVE FOR THEM
TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE AROUND,
00:39:08.53\00:39:14.80
TO BE ABLE TO SAY TO ME, "I
CAN FEEL GOD WHEN YOU SING."
00:39:14.80\00:39:21.40
THAT IS SOMETHING--THAT KIND
OF FAITH OVERWHELMS MY HEART
00:39:21.40\00:39:25.86
TO SAY WE HAVE IT
SO EASY IN AMERICA.
00:39:25.86\00:39:29.96
>> ANI, YOU ARE A BLESSING.
00:39:29.96\00:39:31.70
BLESSING THEN
AND A BLESSING NOW.
00:39:31.70\00:39:33.83
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
00:39:33.83\00:39:34.93
THANK YOU.
00:39:34.93\00:39:36.36
[APPLAUDING]
00:39:36.36\00:39:39.66
>> AND NOW IT'S MY PRIVILEGE
TO INTRODUCE A PERSON THAT
00:39:40.96\00:39:43.70
YOU ALL KNOW, AND
THAT'S PASTOR J.P. O'CONNOR.
00:39:43.70\00:39:50.13
RUNNING THESE CAMPAIGNS
IS SORT OF EASY, ISN'T IT?
00:39:50.13\00:39:52.73
NOT A LOT TO DO.
00:39:52.73\00:39:54.03
>> I DON'T THINK SO.
00:39:54.03\00:39:55.23
IT'S A LOT OF WORK
BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER.
00:39:55.23\00:40:00.06
BEFORE, PREPARING ALL
THE EQUIPMENT, GETTING ALL
00:40:00.06\00:40:03.36
THE SERMONS TOGETHER, CALLING
OVER TO RUSSIA, ORGANIZING
00:40:03.36\00:40:06.63
THE HOTELS, THE DRIVERS,
THE TRANSLATORS, SENDING OUR
00:40:06.63\00:40:10.36
EQUIPMENT, HAVING IT GET CAUGHT
IN CUSTOMS, HAVING TO PRAY
00:40:10.36\00:40:13.70
IT OUT, SPENDING
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
00:40:13.70\00:40:16.10
>> PRAY IT OUT AND PAY IT OUT.
00:40:16.10\00:40:18.46
>> THAT'S WHAT I
WAS ABOUT TO SAY.
00:40:18.46\00:40:20.23
PAY IT OUT, ABSOLUTELY.
00:40:20.23\00:40:21.26
AND THEN WHEN YOU ARRIVE,
THERE'S THE ENORMOUS AMOUNT
00:40:21.26\00:40:24.30
OF WORK OF SETTING UP
THE EQUIPMENT, PUTTING
00:40:24.30\00:40:26.50
THE PROJECTORS ON THE SCREENS.
00:40:26.50\00:40:28.60
YOU JUST CAN'T GO ON AND
ON ABOUT HOW DIFFICULT IT IS,
00:40:28.60\00:40:32.70
BUT HOW WORTH IT IT IS TOO.
00:40:32.70\00:40:34.80
>> THE RUSSIANS SAID WHEN OUR
TEAM ARRIVED, THEY WENT DOWN TO
00:40:34.80\00:40:38.80
THE AUDITORIUM, THEY
SAID, "MAN, CAN THEY WORK."
00:40:38.80\00:40:43.43
THEY SAID, "THESE AUSTRALIANS
AND AMERICANS REALLY CAN SHOW
00:40:43.43\00:40:47.13
US HOW TO WORK."
00:40:47.13\00:40:48.63
TELL US THE PHYSICAL
PREPARATION, THE BUILDING OF
00:40:48.63\00:40:52.36
THREE HUGE SCREENS, THE
SETTING UP THE PROJECTORS.
00:40:52.36\00:40:56.23
DANIEL, CARLOS, DAVID, JAVIER,
CARLOS DOING SUCH A TREMENDOUS
00:40:56.23\00:41:03.60
JOB, 105 DEGREES.
00:41:03.60\00:41:07.46
DESCRIBE IT.
00:41:07.46\00:41:09.03
>> IT WAS NOT EASY.
00:41:09.03\00:41:11.23
IT WAS DIFFICULT.
00:41:11.23\00:41:12.16
IT WAS STRESSFUL.
00:41:12.16\00:41:13.36
YOU FIND THAT PUTTING THE SOUND
EQUIPMENT UP, YOU'RE TRYING TO
00:41:13.36\00:41:16.30
COMMUNICATE TO RUSSIANS BECAUSE
WE RENTED OUR SOUND EQUIPMENT
00:41:16.30\00:41:20.26
THERE.
00:41:20.26\00:41:21.20
AND YOU'RE TRYING TO TELL THEM
SOMETHING THROUGH A TRANSLATOR
00:41:21.20\00:41:23.60
AND THERE'S SOME
PUSHING AND PULLING.
00:41:23.60\00:41:25.70
AND THEN SOMEONE WALKS
OVER AND TOUCHES THE SOUNDBOARD
00:41:25.70\00:41:27.86
AND STARTS
PLAYING WITH THE KNOBS.
00:41:27.86\00:41:29.80
AND YOU KNOW, WE'VE ALREADY
SET THE EQUIPMENT, SO THEN
00:41:29.80\00:41:32.26
OUR STAFF SAYS, "HEY,
YOU KNOW, LEAVE THAT ALONE!"
00:41:32.26\00:41:34.66
TRYING.
00:41:34.66\00:41:35.96
THEN THERE'S THE VIDEO
EQUIPMENT, HAVING IT KONK OUT
00:41:35.96\00:41:39.26
BECAUSE IT'S TOO HOT, TRYING
TO SET UP--RUN NEW POWER LINES
00:41:39.26\00:41:42.63
TO PUT AIR CONDITIONERS.
00:41:42.63\00:41:44.20
THE SCREENS WERE AMAZING.
00:41:44.20\00:41:46.43
THEY USED LIGHTING METAL
EQUIPMENT AND THEN STRAPPED
00:41:46.43\00:41:49.76
THIS REFLECTIVE WHITE MATERIAL.
00:41:49.76\00:41:52.60
THEY LOOKED REALLY GOOD.
00:41:52.60\00:41:53.76
I THINK YOU SAID SOME OF
THE BEST SCREENS THAT WE'VE
00:41:53.76\00:41:55.86
EVER HAD.
00:41:55.86\00:41:56.83
>> BEST WE'VE HAD.
00:41:56.83\00:41:57.86
PUT TOGETHER,
ALMOST 100 FEET OF SCREENS.
00:41:57.86\00:42:00.63
WHAT WERE, BESIDES THE
PHYSICAL WORK, WHAT WERE YOUR
00:42:00.63\00:42:05.73
OVERWHELMING IMPRESSIONS?
00:42:05.73\00:42:08.43
>> WELL, JUST FIRST OF
ALL, IT WAS MY FIRST TIME BEING
00:42:08.43\00:42:10.86
OUT OF THE COUNTRY LIKE THAT.
00:42:10.86\00:42:12.56
AND SO THE SIGHTS, THE
SMELLS, THE PEOPLE, EVERYTHING
00:42:12.56\00:42:18.23
IS DIFFERENT.
00:42:18.23\00:42:19.50
FOR ONE WHO'S NOT TRAVELED
A LOT, MY EYES WERE WIDE OPEN.
00:42:19.50\00:42:23.26
THE PEOPLE, THE LANGUAGE,
HEARING WITH YOUR EARS.
00:42:23.26\00:42:27.13
EVERYBODY SMOKES.
00:42:27.13\00:42:28.73
>> AND THEY
DON'T SPEAK AMERICAN.
00:42:28.73\00:42:30.80
>> THEY DO NOT SPEAK AMERICAN.
00:42:30.80\00:42:32.33
THEY DON'T EVEN SPEAK ENGLISH.
00:42:32.33\00:42:34.56
>> WHAT ABOUT
THE PEOPLE WHO CAME?
00:42:34.56\00:42:36.83
>> THIS IS--THIS
IS THE BEST PART.
00:42:36.83\00:42:39.26
IT'S WHY WE DO IT.
00:42:39.26\00:42:40.43
THEY WERE EXCITED,
ENTHUSIASTIC, PASSIONATE.
00:42:40.43\00:42:45.23
IT WAS A
DIFFERENT KIND OF CROWD.
00:42:45.23\00:42:47.13
SO MANY PEOPLE THAT THE FIRST
NIGHT THE AUDIENCE WAS LIT UP
00:42:47.13\00:42:50.40
FROM THE CELL PHONES,
TAKING PICTURES OF WHAT
00:42:50.40\00:42:54.20
WAS GOING ON UP FRONT.
00:42:54.20\00:42:55.30
MAYBE THEY WERE TEXTING OR
ANSWERING CALLS, AND SO YOU
00:42:55.30\00:42:57.43
COULD JUST TELL IT WASN'T THE
NORMAL, OLDER CROWD, BUT THOSE
00:42:57.43\00:43:00.73
YOUNG PEOPLE WERE LISTENING AND
BECAME EXCITED AND ENTHUSIASTIC
00:43:00.73\00:43:04.96
ABOUT THE MESSAGE.
00:43:04.96\00:43:06.20
THERE'S ONE PERSON
IN PARTICULAR, THOUGH,
00:43:06.20\00:43:08.76
THAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT.
00:43:08.76\00:43:10.00
HIS NAME WAS DIMITRI.
00:43:10.00\00:43:11.43
ABOUT 4 OR 5 NIGHTS
INTO THE MEETINGS, ONE OF THE
00:43:11.43\00:43:14.80
TRANSLATORS AND A RUSSIAN
PASTOR CAME TO ME AND SAID
00:43:14.80\00:43:17.40
TO ME, "WE NEED YOU TO COME
OUTSIDE AND TALK TO SOMEBODY.
00:43:17.40\00:43:21.06
THIS YOUNG MAN'S BEEN COMING
TO THE MEETINGS, BUT HE'S A DRUG
00:43:21.06\00:43:23.43
ADDICT AND HE NEEDS SOME HELP."
00:43:23.43\00:43:25.30
OF COURSE, I HAVE A BACKGROUND
MYSELF IN OVERCOMING SOME
00:43:25.30\00:43:28.66
ADDICTIONS IN MY LIFE, SO I
WENT OUT INTO THE FOYER AND I
00:43:28.66\00:43:31.56
SAT DOWN WITH HIM
AND BEGAN TO TALK TO HIM.
00:43:31.56\00:43:33.93
HE SAID HE'D BEEN A
HEROIN ADDICT FOR 14 YEARS.
00:43:33.93\00:43:36.86
YOU COULD SEE HIS
BODY WAS JUST EMANCIPATED.
00:43:36.86\00:43:40.46
YOU KNOW, YOU
COULD SEE HIS BONES.
00:43:40.46\00:43:42.56
YOU COULD SEE THE
SKIN WAS TIGHT ON HIM.
00:43:42.56\00:43:44.66
HIS EYES WERE GLAZED OVER.
00:43:44.66\00:43:47.26
HIS SKIN WAS PALE.
00:43:47.26\00:43:48.90
AND HE TOLD ME EVEN THAT
DAY HE HAD BEEN DOING DRUGS,
00:43:48.90\00:43:52.40
BUT HE CAME TO THE
MEETING BECAUSE HE NEEDED HELP,
00:43:52.40\00:43:55.03
HE NEEDED SOMETHING.
00:43:55.03\00:43:56.36
AND AS I TALKED TO HIM,
I ENCOURAGED HIM THAT GOD
00:43:56.36\00:43:58.76
LOVES HIM NO MATTER WHAT.
00:43:58.76\00:44:00.16
EVEN-- >> TELL
US ABOUT THE BAPTISM
00:44:00.16\00:44:03.40
WITH THIS PERSON.
00:44:03.40\00:44:04.70
>> IT WAS--WE WERE
ON OUR WAY IN THE CAR.
00:44:04.70\00:44:07.70
AND, AS YOU KNOW, WE
GOT STOPPED BY THE POLICE ON
00:44:07.70\00:44:11.30
THE WAY THERE THAT MORNING.
00:44:11.30\00:44:12.83
I WASN'T GOING TO MAKE IT.
00:44:12.83\00:44:14.03
I DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS
GOING TO BE BAPTIZED.
00:44:14.03\00:44:16.16
I HAD NO IDEA.
00:44:16.16\00:44:17.40
WE WERE THE LAST ONE TO ARRIVE.
00:44:17.40\00:44:18.73
AS WE WERE COMING OVER THE
SAND DUNE, EVERYBODY WAS WAITING
00:44:18.73\00:44:21.06
FOR US, AND HE CAME
RUNNING OUT AND GAVE ME A HUG.
00:44:21.06\00:44:24.43
THERE WERE TEARS IN MY EYES.
00:44:24.43\00:44:25.46
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
00:44:25.46\00:44:26.76
THIS MAN, WHO WAS IN
BONDAGE AND SLAVERY TO DRUGS,
00:44:26.76\00:44:30.36
WANTED TO BE BAPTIZED.
00:44:30.36\00:44:31.76
AND I FELT IT SUCH A PRIVILEGE
THAT THE RUSSIAN PASTORS
00:44:31.76\00:44:34.40
INVITED ME TO GET INTO THE
WATER WITH THEM AND BAPTIZE
00:44:34.40\00:44:37.46
ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE.
00:44:37.46\00:44:39.66
AND SO I DID.
00:44:39.66\00:44:40.86
I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF
BAPTIZING DIMITRI AND ABOUT
00:44:40.86\00:44:43.56
10 OR 11 OR 12 OTHER
SOULS, BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE.
00:44:43.56\00:44:47.13
PRAISE GOD.
00:44:47.13\00:44:49.76
>> WE'RE SO GLAD THAT YOU CAME.
00:44:49.76\00:44:52.00
YOU SAW THE GLORY OF GOD
AND WE SAW THE GLORY OF GOD TOO.
00:44:52.00\00:44:56.80
AND IT IS TRUE, PASTOR O'CONNOR,
00:44:56.80\00:44:59.10
AFTER THOUSANDS OF
YEARS, THE GOSPEL IS STILL
00:44:59.10\00:45:03.16
THE POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION.
00:45:03.16\00:45:05.66
THERE'S NOTHING LIKE IT.
00:45:05.66\00:45:07.66
SO GOD BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU.
00:45:07.66\00:45:09.63
THANK YOU.
00:45:09.63\00:45:11.43
[APPLAUDING]
00:45:11.43\00:45:15.06
>> PASTOR O'CONNOR, THANK YOU.
00:45:17.83\00:45:19.10
I WANT YOU TO TURN TO
ACTS 4:12, MY DEAR FRIENDS.
00:45:19.10\00:45:23.50
ACTS 4.
00:45:23.50\00:45:25.60
AND THEN I'M GOING TO TELL YOU
THE STORY OF PAUL THE PRISONER,
00:45:25.60\00:45:28.40
ACTS 4:12.
00:45:28.40\00:45:33.53
THIS IS WHY WE GO.
00:45:33.53\00:45:36.16
"SALVATION IS FOUND IN NO
ONE ELSE, FOR THERE IS NO OTHER
00:45:36.16\00:45:40.23
NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN TO
MEN BY WHICH WE MUST BE SAVED."
00:45:40.23\00:45:45.86
LISTEN TO ME, TELEVISION
AUDIENCE, AUDIENCE HERE IN
00:45:45.86\00:45:50.90
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, MY
FRIENDS IN AUSTRALIA, FRIENDS IN
00:45:50.90\00:45:54.30
AMERICA, AROUND THE WORLD.
00:45:54.30\00:45:57.80
PEOPLE ARE LOST WITHOUT JESUS.
00:45:57.80\00:46:04.20
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY
OF THE CHURCH TO TAKE JESUS
00:46:04.20\00:46:10.00
TO A LOST, DYING WORLD.
00:46:10.00\00:46:13.83
IF YOU'RE SITTING HERE IN THIS
CHURCH TODAY AND YOU KNOW IN
00:46:13.83\00:46:17.03
YOUR OWN HEART THAT YOU'RE NOT
RIGHT WITH GOD, THEN YOU NEED
00:46:17.03\00:46:22.13
CHRIST TODAY ALSO.
00:46:22.13\00:46:26.40
ONE OF MY DEAR
FRIENDS, WHOM I JUST APPRECIATE
00:46:26.40\00:46:29.36
AND RESPECT, IS A MAN
WHOM WE CALL PAUL THE PRISONER.
00:46:29.36\00:46:35.13
THAT'S WHAT WE CALLED
HIM, PAUL THE PRISONER.
00:46:35.13\00:46:38.96
DURING THE DARK DAYS OF THE
COMMUNISTS, NOT SO MANY YEARS
00:46:38.96\00:46:43.40
AGO, SAY 25 YEARS AGO, HE
WAS BETRAYED BY A CHURCH MEMBER.
00:46:43.40\00:46:50.43
HE HAD A LITTLE PUBLISHING
PRESS, LITTLE PRESS THAT HE
00:46:50.43\00:46:53.96
USED TO PUBLISH
THE WORD OF GOD ON.
00:46:53.96\00:46:56.10
WAS THAT ILLEGAL?
00:46:56.10\00:46:57.26
ABSOLUTELY.
00:46:57.26\00:46:59.36
DID HE STILL DO IT?
00:46:59.36\00:47:00.63
YES.
00:47:00.63\00:47:01.53
WHY?
00:47:01.53\00:47:03.56
BECAUSE HE BELIEVED AND
STILL BELIEVES ACTS 4:12.
00:47:03.56\00:47:06.60
THERE'S NO OTHER
NAME UNDER HEAVEN.
00:47:06.60\00:47:08.63
WE'RE NOT SAVED BY BUDDHA,
BY MOHAMMED, OR ANYTHING,
00:47:08.63\00:47:12.33
OR ANYONE.
00:47:12.33\00:47:13.40
WE'RE SAVED BY JESUS.
00:47:13.40\00:47:15.43
PAUL WAS TAKEN, PUT
IN PRISON IN MOSCOW.
00:47:15.43\00:47:19.13
HE WAS TOLD, "IF YOU TELL
US THE NAMES OF THE PEOPLE WHO
00:47:19.13\00:47:21.90
WERE HELPING YOU SPREAD
YOUR GOSPEL, WE'LL LET YOU OUT."
00:47:21.90\00:47:25.70
HE SAID, "NYET."
00:47:25.70\00:47:27.86
SO THEY PUT HIM IN
A REFRIGERATOR CELL.
00:47:27.86\00:47:31.76
THEY TORTURED HIM.
00:47:31.76\00:47:33.26
SOME OF YOU FOLKS HAVE
HEARD ME SPEAK ON TORTURE.
00:47:33.26\00:47:40.13
TORTURE COMES FROM THE DEVIL.
00:47:40.13\00:47:44.70
ANYBODY WHO ENGAGES IN IT
IS DOING THE WORK OF THE DEVIL.
00:47:44.70\00:47:52.20
HE WAS TORTURED.
00:47:52.20\00:47:55.30
THEY PUT HIM IN A
REFRIGERATOR CELL.
00:47:55.30\00:47:59.96
HE WAS THERE IN
SUMMER AND WINTER.
00:47:59.96\00:48:02.83
HIS TEETH FELL OUT.
00:48:02.83\00:48:05.33
HE WAS THERE FOR 3 YEARS
UNTIL GORBACHEV LET HIM OUT.
00:48:05.33\00:48:13.66
HE IS A MAN, AND A MAN OF GOD.
00:48:13.66\00:48:25.00
PAUL IS RETIRED, BUT
NO MINISTER WHO IS A MAN
00:48:25.00\00:48:32.56
CAN RETIRE.
00:48:32.56\00:48:35.80
SO HE WORKS FOR THE MOST
NEGLECTED PEOPLE IN SOCIETY,
00:48:35.80\00:48:41.70
PRISONERS.
00:48:41.70\00:48:43.66
HE GOES INTO THE PRISONS
WHERE THEY ARE ROTTING WITH TB
00:48:43.66\00:48:47.86
AND THEY--MOST OF THEM ARE.
00:48:47.86\00:48:52.66
BECAUSE HE BELIEVES THAT THE
GREATEST WORK IN ALL THE WORLD
00:48:52.66\00:48:55.46
IS THE PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL
OF CHRIST, NOT MAKING MONEY
00:48:55.46\00:48:58.63
IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
SO YOU CAN DRIVE A VERY
00:48:58.63\00:49:02.26
EXPENSIVE MOTORCAR.
00:49:02.26\00:49:07.66
WE HAVE GIVEN PAUL
TONS OF BIBLES, WHY?
00:49:07.66\00:49:13.10
BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE
NEED TO HEAR THE LORD.
00:49:13.10\00:49:16.46
THEY NEED TO
HEAR ABOUT THE LORD.
00:49:16.46\00:49:18.43
WE'VE GIVEN HIM OUR BOOK.
00:49:18.43\00:49:19.86
WE HAVE A BOOK THAT WAS
PUBLISHED OVER THERE AND TENS
00:49:19.86\00:49:24.03
OF THOUSANDS OF COPIES HAVE
FOUND THEIR WAY INTO THE HANDS
00:49:24.03\00:49:28.66
OF PEOPLE.
00:49:28.66\00:49:29.83
THIS IS A RUSSIAN BIBLE.
00:49:29.83\00:49:32.53
SOME PEOPLE CALL US UP AND SAID,
"WHAT BIBLE ARE YOU USING?"
00:49:32.53\00:49:39.20
WELL, THERE'S ONLY
ONE BIBLE YOU CAN USE.
00:49:39.20\00:49:41.16
IT'S A RUSSIAN BIBLE.
00:49:41.16\00:49:42.26
THIS IS THE RUSSIAN BIBLE.
00:49:42.26\00:49:44.36
WE HAVE GIVEN AWAY HUNDREDS
OF THOUSANDS OF RUSSIAN BIBLES,
00:49:44.36\00:49:48.56
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS.
00:49:48.56\00:49:49.76
I DON'T KNOW THE NUMBER.
00:49:49.76\00:49:51.76
THIS BOOK IS CALLED
"AMAZING DISCOVERIES."
00:49:51.76\00:49:56.40
WE'RE GIVING THESE
AWAY BY TENS OF THOUSANDS.
00:49:56.40\00:50:00.03
THESE ARE ALL MY SERMONS,
TRANSLATED BY PAUL INTO RUSSIAN.
00:50:00.03\00:50:06.76
WE'VE GIVEN HIM TONS OF
THESE FOR THE PRISONERS.
00:50:06.76\00:50:14.60
WHY DO WE DO THIS WORK?
00:50:14.60\00:50:17.60
I WILL TELL YOU WHY.
00:50:17.60\00:50:22.20
BECAUSE OF THE MAN WHO
HUNG ON THE CROSS, THAT'S WHY.
00:50:22.20\00:50:26.33
PEOPLE HAVE SAID TO
ME, "WHY DON'T YOU RETIRE?"
00:50:26.33\00:50:28.66
I SAY, "WHEN I THINK OF
THE MAN ON THE CROSS, I CAN'T."
00:50:28.66\00:50:32.40
BECAUSE PEOPLE, THAT INCLUDES
YOU, WE CAN'T BE SAVED UNTIL WE
00:50:32.40\00:50:37.30
COME AND REPENT OF OUR SINS
AND ACCEPT THE MAN ON THE CROSS.
00:50:37.30\00:50:43.76
THIS IS OUR MOTIVATION.
00:50:43.76\00:50:47.13
AND I WANT TO THANK ALL OF
MY FRIENDS AND MY SUPPORTERS WHO
00:50:47.13\00:50:50.10
HAVE GOT THE SAME MOTIVATION,
PEOPLE LIKE WILLIE JORDAN, WHO
00:50:50.10\00:50:54.33
BELIEVE THAT THE GREATEST
WORK IN ALL THE WORLD IS
00:50:54.33\00:50:57.00
THE PREACHING OF CHRIST.
00:50:57.00\00:50:59.46
A PERSON WHO HAS A
BIG PART IN OUR LIVES IS
00:50:59.46\00:51:02.06
PASTOR VADIM BUTOV,
WHO'S BEEN WITH US NOW
00:51:02.06\00:51:07.70

YEARS AS MY TRANSLATOR.

WERE BAPTIZED, DOZENS
OF CHURCHES STARTED, DOZENS
00:52:18.36\00:52:21.50
OF CHURCH BUILDINGS BUILT.
00:52:21.50\00:52:23.63
PASTOR CARTER'S BOOK,

00:52:23.63\00:52:26.33
