Previously on Destination 1040.
00:00:00.73\00:00:02.56
This is Nirobindu das,
and for the last five years
00:00:02.60\00:00:05.93
he has been the Gospel Outreach
Coordinator for West Bengal
00:00:05.97\00:00:09.27
here in India.
00:00:09.30\00:00:10.34
Both Nirobindu and his
wife Rita, are passionate
00:00:10.37\00:00:13.01
about spreading the
Gospel to the people of India
00:00:13.04\00:00:15.48
and have devoted their
lives to missionary work.
00:00:15.51\00:00:18.15
In a country
like India, friendship
00:00:18.18\00:00:20.28
evangelism is really going to be
one of the most effective ways
00:00:20.32\00:00:24.15
that you can reach
out to your neighbors.
00:00:24.19\00:00:26.89
So back in 2013,
one of the Gospel
00:00:26.92\00:00:29.29
Outreach Bible workers
started a small home church,
00:00:29.32\00:00:31.76
and as it continued to grow,
there just wasn't enough room
00:00:31.79\00:00:34.56
for the people
to meet in the home.
00:00:34.60\00:00:36.83
So what did they do?
00:00:36.87\00:00:37.87
They built a church
out of bamboo and plastic.
00:00:37.90\00:00:41.04
Now they are quite
literally running out of room
00:00:41.20\00:00:43.47
in this church behind me And
that's a good problem to have.
00:00:43.51\00:00:46.51
But the exciting
thing about this story is
00:00:46.54\00:00:49.34
the Lord has
blessed someone donated.
00:00:49.38\00:00:51.91
So right behind the
plastic church is a new church
00:00:51.95\00:00:55.92
that's being
built for the believers.
00:00:55.95\00:00:58.62
Are we ready to lay it
all on the line for Jesus?
00:00:58.65\00:01:01.79
Are we prepared to lay
down our lives for a friend?
00:01:02.12\00:01:06.33
They have started the process
00:01:56.38\00:01:57.88
of putting the pillars
in for the new church here.
00:01:57.91\00:02:01.08
Up until now, as you
know, they've been worshiping
00:02:03.02\00:02:06.22
in this plastic
church behind me.
00:02:06.25\00:02:08.62
But every year it
always gets destroyed
00:02:08.66\00:02:12.23
or at least damaged
00:02:12.26\00:02:13.60
with all the cyclones
that they have in this area.
00:02:13.63\00:02:16.67
And so they're finally getting
a more permanent structure.
00:02:16.70\00:02:21.57
When it's rainy season
apparently, the water will be up
00:02:21.60\00:02:26.01
to the height of those pillars.
00:02:26.04\00:02:27.88
And so once they
have enough donations,
00:02:27.91\00:02:30.95
they will have the floor
up at that height to prevent
00:02:31.08\00:02:34.92
too much flood
damage during rainy season.
00:02:35.32\00:02:38.39
Someone graciously
donated enough money
00:02:39.22\00:02:41.99
for them to build
pillars and put ten on the roof
00:02:42.02\00:02:46.03
for the church.
00:02:46.46\00:02:47.60
And then as money comes
in, they'll continue building
00:02:47.60\00:02:50.30
and adding more brick and finish
it to be an actual structure.
00:02:50.33\00:02:54.50
Missionary life!
00:03:26.87\00:03:29.50
Are you washing the clothes
from the water in this pond?
00:03:29.54\00:03:32.31
I am.
00:03:32.34\00:03:35.41
This pond is utilized
00:03:35.98\00:03:37.11
for a lot of things.
00:03:37.15\00:03:41.75
Everybody's watching this event.
00:03:51.46\00:03:54.50
Well, what do you
think of your new hair?
00:04:05.27\00:04:07.94
I love it so much.
00:04:07.98\00:04:13.68
So that evening,
00:04:13.72\00:04:14.85
13 of us piled into a
vehicle only meant to hold four
00:04:14.88\00:04:18.05
and traveled 30
minutes to an area
00:04:18.09\00:04:20.06
where our Bible worker
and his wife have started
00:04:20.09\00:04:22.52
a home church.
00:04:22.56\00:04:25.63
What this couple is doing here
in West Bengal is the perfect
00:04:30.30\00:04:33.30
example of what the Gospel
Outreach model is all about.
00:04:33.34\00:04:39.31
Showing kindness to others,
00:04:39.34\00:04:43.18
introducing people to Jesus,
raising up new congregations,
00:04:43.21\00:04:46.48
and then training others to lead
and to raise up new disciples.
00:04:46.51\00:04:50.82
This is a Bible
worker's job description.
00:04:51.15\00:04:54.22
So we just traveled 17
kilometers to the Bay of Bengal,
00:04:54.52\00:04:57.76
and we're in a
little village right now.
00:04:57.79\00:04:59.56
And I want to show you
what a home church is all about.
00:04:59.59\00:05:03.03
Wants a new congregation
00:05:24.69\00:05:25.99
is well established
and self-sustaining,
00:05:26.02\00:05:28.69
this gives our Bible workers
the opportunity to move on
00:05:28.72\00:05:32.29
to new, unreached areas and
to continue their work. Yes.
00:05:32.33\00:05:49.08
The man knows what he's doing.
00:05:52.68\00:05:55.75
Nirobindu's wife Rita holds
00:05:56.62\00:05:59.42
multiple degrees in nursing
00:05:59.45\00:06:00.89
and has spent many
years working as such.
00:06:00.92\00:06:03.32
She has used her knowledge
in this area to teach and train
00:06:03.36\00:06:06.53
our Bible workers in West Bengal
00:06:06.56\00:06:08.70
to provide basic health
services to their communities.
00:06:08.73\00:06:11.80
This has been an invaluable
tool for our Bible workers
00:06:12.00\00:06:15.00
who have been able to show
the love of Jesus in this way.
00:06:15.04\00:06:18.11
As we know, medical ministry
can be an entering wedge
00:06:18.54\00:06:21.81
into sharing Jesus with
others in a country like India.
00:06:21.84\00:06:25.51
Oftentimes, this is the only
way that you can connect with
00:06:25.55\00:06:28.65
your neighbors.
00:06:28.68\00:06:29.38
Sunday night markets
are some of the busiest
00:06:41.66\00:06:43.77
and craziest things I
have ever seen in India.
00:06:43.80\00:06:47.04
Within just a couple of hours,
a town square can turn into
00:06:47.40\00:06:50.71
a bustling market
straight out of Bible times.
00:06:50.74\00:06:53.81
He's played a couple of times.
00:07:14.00\00:07:17.03
Our vehicle has arrived.
00:07:19.80\00:07:22.00
Where are we going Joy?
00:07:22.04\00:07:23.57
Mousuni island.
Mo, say it again.
00:07:23.61\00:07:26.71
Mousuni island.
00:07:26.84\00:07:28.01
Mousuni?
00:07:28.04\00:07:28.48
Mousuni Island.
00:07:28.51\00:07:31.55
So that's the boat that
we're taking to the island.
00:07:44.79\00:07:47.10
And the island is
actually really close.
00:07:47.13\00:07:49.06
I can't imagine it's going
to take very long to get to that
00:07:49.10\00:07:52.10
island.
00:07:52.13\00:07:55.20
Here's the drone.
00:07:56.84\00:07:57.84
Are we going to fly the
drone? That's up to you.
00:07:57.87\00:08:00.24
You are the flyer of the drone.
00:08:00.28\00:08:01.94
The pilot of the drone.
00:08:01.98\00:08:03.28
Do you think we
should fly the drone?
00:08:03.31\00:08:05.35
I don't know. What do you think?
00:08:05.38\00:08:07.45
This is the path
of natural disaster.
00:08:26.23\00:08:29.24
Every year, at least once.
00:08:29.27\00:08:31.57
There will be cyclones.
00:08:31.61\00:08:33.31
In 2020, there was a
super cyclone known as Amphan,
00:08:33.34\00:08:38.31
during which thousands
and thousands of houses
00:08:38.35\00:08:41.68
were blown off their roofs.
00:08:42.12\00:08:45.19
We saw
00:08:45.22\00:08:46.99
people in the boats
leaving their island
00:08:47.02\00:08:50.09
to nowhere kind of,
they did not know where to go
00:08:50.53\00:08:53.60
because part of that
island had submerged.
00:08:53.93\00:08:56.97
At least 84
00:09:00.54\00:09:01.30
people are now
known to have died
00:09:01.34\00:09:03.00
in one of the most powerful
00:09:03.04\00:09:04.04
cyclones to hit India
and Bangladesh for years.
00:09:04.07\00:09:07.14
Cyclone Amphan has
hit northeastern India
00:09:08.18\00:09:10.61
and Bangladesh, where millions
00:09:10.65\00:09:12.25
are hunkering down
in emergency shelters.
00:09:12.28\00:09:15.12
The massive storm is
packing a dangerous hurricane
00:09:15.15\00:09:17.69
force winds and authorities say
00:09:17.72\00:09:19.42
it could trigger
devastating floods
00:09:19.45\00:09:21.49
along the low lying coast.
00:09:21.52\00:09:23.79
Uprooted trees, brought down
electricity and telephone lines
00:09:23.83\00:09:27.00
and flattened houses
in the western states
00:09:27.03\00:09:29.30
of West Bengal and Odisha
and south west Bangladesh.
00:09:29.33\00:09:32.47
Our volunteers
Gospel Outreach Volunteers.
00:09:33.30\00:09:35.97
Global Mission
Volunteers, Workers.
00:09:36.00\00:09:38.24
We contributed and
collected some funds
00:09:38.27\00:09:40.38
from some rich people.
00:09:40.41\00:09:42.51
We were able to feed
those migrants for a few days.
00:09:42.54\00:09:46.51
People are very resilient.
00:09:48.02\00:09:49.28
Even though there are
cyclones, yet they live here.
00:09:49.32\00:09:52.35
Sometimes I think
00:09:52.39\00:09:53.59
knowing the natural disaster
that it would come every year,
00:09:53.62\00:09:57.09
why can't the
people move away from here?
00:09:57.13\00:09:59.76
But they're
00:09:59.79\00:10:00.96
attached to this place and
they have nothing else to do.
00:10:00.96\00:10:03.26
Fishing. Fishing.
00:10:04.37\00:10:05.50
They survive with fish.
00:10:05.53\00:10:08.60
Every time they rebuild.
00:10:15.11\00:10:16.58
And you probably
have seen the poor people
00:10:16.61\00:10:19.91
their huts made of
clay and bamboo sticks,
00:10:19.95\00:10:23.55
and the roof,
they are sometimes tin.
00:10:23.59\00:10:27.99
When people
provide them with tin tin,
00:10:28.02\00:10:29.86
Everybody cannot afford.
00:10:29.89\00:10:32.89
Having gone
through all these things
00:10:32.93\00:10:37.03
they survive happily
with meager food and water.
00:10:37.07\00:10:41.04
And another
difficulty they have, as we say
00:10:41.70\00:10:44.24
water, water everywhere
but there is no water to drink.
00:10:44.27\00:10:47.44
There's no water
to drink salty water.
00:10:48.08\00:10:49.81
After less than a ten
00:10:51.15\00:10:52.31
minute ferry ride,
we're on the island now.
00:10:52.35\00:10:55.42
So the story goes that we
actually have a GO Bible worker
00:10:56.25\00:11:00.12
that lives just off the
island and she works here,
00:11:00.16\00:11:04.89
but she's being trained and
mentored by two of our other
00:11:05.33\00:11:09.46
GO workers, the ones
that actually started
00:11:09.50\00:11:11.20
the plastic church.
00:11:11.23\00:11:13.20
And it's just
created this awesome team.
00:11:13.23\00:11:16.24
And this island is learning
about Jesus because of this.
00:11:16.27\00:11:19.34
Washing the feet of a visitor
00:11:24.95\00:11:26.35
is very traditional
in this part of India.
00:11:26.38\00:11:29.18
We are here visiting
a church members house
00:11:29.22\00:11:31.42
where a small group of Hindus
meet multiple times a week
00:11:31.45\00:11:34.36
to learn about Jesus.
00:11:34.39\00:11:37.46
I was humbled when I realized
that many of these people
00:12:05.72\00:12:08.29
cannot afford their own
Bible or their own hymnal,
00:12:08.32\00:12:11.76
and so they will copy songs
from our Bible Workers hymnal.
00:12:11.79\00:12:15.66
They will copy
00:12:15.70\00:12:17.03
their favorite passages
from our Bible workers Bible
00:12:17.07\00:12:20.20
so that they can keep
those things close to them.
00:12:20.54\00:12:23.27
This is something
that I will never be able
00:12:23.30\00:12:25.27
to relate to in my life,
and it made me realize just how
00:12:25.31\00:12:28.34
blessed I am.
00:12:28.38\00:12:29.18
Now, as you may have
noticed, this home is very new,
00:12:32.11\00:12:34.08
and that is because
00:12:34.12\00:12:35.48
the previous home was destroyed
00:12:35.52\00:12:37.02
a little over a
year ago in a typhoon.
00:12:37.05\00:12:39.05
Once the home was destroyed,
00:12:39.09\00:12:40.36
the new believers
had nowhere to meet.
00:12:40.39\00:12:42.22
And so they were
meeting just outside
00:12:42.26\00:12:44.03
under a tree in the dirt.
00:12:44.06\00:12:46.06
The owner of this home
00:12:46.09\00:12:47.03
was very distraught
00:12:47.03\00:12:48.13
and she prayed to God,
asking him what she should do,
00:12:48.16\00:12:51.30
as she did not have enough
money to build a new home.
00:12:51.33\00:12:54.40
After praying earnestly,
it was impressed upon her that
00:12:54.77\00:12:57.91
no matter how many
materials she could afford,
00:12:57.94\00:13:00.71
that would be enough.
00:13:00.74\00:13:02.81
So trusting the Lord, she went
and purchased as many materials
00:13:02.84\00:13:06.15
as she could
afford and hired a builder
00:13:06.18\00:13:08.15
to come and build the home.
00:13:08.18\00:13:09.55
When the builder arrived,
he laughed at her and said,
00:13:10.52\00:13:12.62
There are not enough
materials to build this house.
00:13:12.65\00:13:15.59
With this much, You can't do it.
00:13:15.62\00:13:18.73
You need more.
00:13:18.76\00:13:20.10
She said, Don't
talk to me like that.
00:13:20.13\00:13:21.70
Do that It must be done.
00:13:21.73\00:13:23.47
It will be done
with what I have brought.
00:13:23.50\00:13:25.43
And my God will help me build.
00:13:25.47\00:13:27.20
She said this
one stick was extra.
00:13:27.24\00:13:31.11
One thing was extra.
00:13:31.14\00:13:34.34
The one who makes house.
00:13:34.38\00:13:37.55
He said, I have peace
after making your house.
00:13:38.15\00:14:18.29
So how are you feeling?
00:14:37.71\00:14:39.44
Tired, but good.
What have we done?
00:14:39.47\00:14:41.28
We had a nice day
of visiting an island
00:14:41.31\00:14:43.68
and seeing the
church members over there.
00:14:43.71\00:14:45.75
They meet in a member's home.
00:14:45.78\00:14:49.02
A very small island.
00:14:49.05\00:14:52.12
This morning
00:15:10.77\00:15:11.97
we are leaving the plastic
church and we are headed south.
00:15:12.01\00:15:16.28
So far south, in fact,
that we're actually leaving
00:15:16.31\00:15:18.35
land, We're taking
a boat to an island.
00:15:18.38\00:15:20.68
You know, as Christians, we
00:15:24.69\00:15:25.69
are supposed to be a
different kind of people.
00:15:25.72\00:15:30.13
And so when we go out into
the communities here in India
00:15:30.36\00:15:34.10
and you meet with
these Hindus and you meet
00:15:34.36\00:15:37.63
with these Muslim
people they recognize
00:15:37.67\00:15:41.60
that our community here
and the people who come to
00:15:43.00\00:15:46.44
church here, they are
different and they can see that
00:15:46.47\00:15:50.58
and that is the most
effective discipleship
00:15:50.61\00:15:54.48
method of all, is living a life
00:15:55.12\00:15:58.29
that reflects Christ.
00:15:58.85\00:16:02.06
So this is the ferry
that's going to be taking us
00:16:48.50\00:16:50.84
about an hour ride to an island
where we're going to spend
00:16:50.87\00:16:54.18
two or three days meeting
with one of our Bible workers
00:16:54.21\00:16:57.48
that's working on that island.
00:16:57.51\00:17:55.14
Oh, hello, How are you? Good.
00:17:55.17\00:17:57.81
We have
arrived. We have arrived.
00:17:57.84\00:18:00.98
Sagar Island.
00:18:01.11\00:18:02.44
For hundreds of
years, Sagar Island
00:18:32.04\00:18:33.84
has been a yearly
pilgrimage for so many Hindus.
00:18:33.88\00:18:37.15
Some will walk for hundreds of
miles with no shoes to partake
00:18:37.48\00:18:40.92
in the holy dip that takes
place each year in February.
00:18:40.95\00:18:44.02
The economic structure
of this island only exists
00:18:44.49\00:18:47.36
because of the over 2 million
people who flock to this place
00:18:47.39\00:18:50.83
every year. Yes,
you heard that right.
00:18:50.86\00:18:52.99
Over 2 million people
for many months in advance.
00:18:53.03\00:18:56.67
This island
00:18:56.70\00:18:57.80
with no more than 212,000
people, will begin to build
00:18:57.83\00:19:01.37
a temporary infrastructure
of bamboo and tarps, fields,
00:19:01.40\00:19:05.47
empty streets and even alleyways
will transform into markets
00:19:05.51\00:19:08.94
and sleeping quarters for
the tourists who will visit.
00:19:08.98\00:19:12.08
This is arguably the
largest annual gathering
00:19:12.11\00:19:14.92
of people throughout the world.
00:19:14.95\00:19:18.02
Despite the
demonic forces at work,
00:19:18.22\00:19:20.16
Gospel outreach
is blessed to have
00:19:20.19\00:19:21.82
three Bible workers
00:19:21.86\00:19:22.92
here on this island,
along with a handful of churches
00:19:22.96\00:19:26.13
spreading a message of
hope in an otherwise dark place.
00:19:26.36\00:19:29.66
Yeah, of course I
want you to drive that.
00:19:32.37\00:19:35.20
My question is, are
you going to kill us or.
00:19:35.24\00:19:38.31
But you may ask yourself,
how do you reach a people group
00:19:39.41\00:19:42.18
that is so invested
in this idol worship
00:19:42.21\00:19:44.78
and ritualistic behavior?
00:19:44.81\00:19:47.88
My name is Arati Dasadhikari,
00:19:51.15\00:19:54.22
and I've been with the Gospel
Outreach for ten years now.
00:19:54.26\00:20:15.41
For the last two years
00:20:15.44\00:20:17.18
I have started
working here on this island.
00:20:17.21\00:20:20.25
When I first came to
the island, I struggled
00:20:20.82\00:20:23.39
to connect with the people.
00:20:23.42\00:20:25.35
Many are very strong in
their traditions and culture,
00:20:25.39\00:20:28.46
making it impossible
to effectively spread
00:20:28.86\00:20:31.36
the name of Jesus.
00:20:31.39\00:20:33.43
This is when
God gave me an idea.
00:20:33.46\00:20:35.86
An idea to simply show
people the love of Jesus
00:20:35.90\00:20:39.10
and leave the rest to him.
00:20:39.40\00:20:42.00
I decided to start offering
00:20:42.04\00:20:43.71
tailoring lessons to
the women of my community.
00:20:43.74\00:20:47.01
This only started with two,
but grew quickly as word spread.
00:20:47.68\00:20:52.55
I was gifted a sewing machine
00:21:16.14\00:21:18.37
and my ministry
expanded even faster.
00:21:18.41\00:21:21.08
I started multiple
classes in different homes
00:21:21.11\00:21:23.78
throughout the island
and soon had dozens of women
00:21:23.81\00:21:27.48
learning under my care.
00:21:27.52\00:21:30.59
These women were confused as to
00:21:32.12\00:21:33.99
why I would provide
such a fine service for free.
00:21:34.02\00:21:37.09
This opened the door
to religious conversations
00:21:37.79\00:21:40.36
and Bible studies.
00:21:40.40\00:21:48.74
Some of the husbands of my
students were upset at first,
00:21:48.77\00:21:51.84
but once they
recognized the change
00:21:52.04\00:21:53.74
in attitude for their
wives, they became more open
00:21:53.78\00:21:56.91
and accepting of what I was
teaching them from the Bible.
00:21:56.95\00:22:00.05
I now have three sewing machines
00:22:03.22\00:22:05.09
that I have strategically
placed throughout the island.
00:22:05.12\00:22:08.19
I have started
seven influence centers
00:22:09.22\00:22:11.59
where I meet
with groups of women
00:22:11.63\00:22:13.29
every week for Bible
studies and some classes.
00:22:13.33\00:22:16.36
These women are also learning
how to love people like Jesus
00:22:17.17\00:22:20.64
by working to
provide free clothes
00:22:20.90\00:22:22.97
for widows and homeless people.
00:22:23.00\00:22:24.57
So she comes up with a lot of
00:22:41.49\00:22:42.66
different things on her own
as she continues she learns.
00:22:42.69\00:22:46.63
Some of my students are also
widows and use the knowledge
00:22:46.66\00:22:51.17
of seamstress work to
make clothes and sell them
00:22:51.20\00:22:54.27
to help support themselves.
00:22:54.30\00:22:57.37
Many of the women in
these classes are married
00:22:58.54\00:23:00.81
with children at
only 16 or 17 years old.
00:23:00.84\00:23:04.05
Life as a woman
in these cultures
00:23:05.41\00:23:07.18
can be a very
demeaning and demoralizing life.
00:23:07.22\00:23:10.29
From a very young age it
is your duty to do as you are
00:23:10.32\00:23:13.42
told and marry the man
chosen for you by your father.
00:23:13.46\00:23:16.56
A women's ministry
like this not only gives
00:23:17.16\00:23:19.49
these women self-worth
and confidence in a skill,
00:23:19.53\00:23:22.56
but also allows them
to provide for themselves
00:23:22.60\00:23:25.20
if they are
ever left as a widow.
00:23:25.23\00:23:26.97
Living for self is so
00:23:29.10\00:23:30.44
easy, but living for
others is much more rewarding.
00:23:30.47\00:23:34.18
I am thankful to be
living for others and encourage
00:23:34.58\00:23:37.31
everyone I come in
contact with to do the same.
00:23:37.35\00:23:40.45
Oh, let's see.
00:23:52.36\00:23:54.20
Oh boy!
00:23:54.23\00:23:55.93
Does she come from
a teaching background?
00:23:55.96\00:23:58.97
No no!
00:23:59.00\00:24:02.14
I want to talk to you
00:24:31.47\00:24:32.67
about some of the challenges
that I'm facing here in India.
00:24:32.70\00:24:35.30
I'm just going to be
brutally honest with you.
00:24:35.44\00:24:36.91
The devil is working
00:24:36.94\00:24:39.24
really, really hard right
now in my life, in Lexi's life.
00:24:39.27\00:24:43.28
You know, we're running
into a lot of challenges both
00:24:43.31\00:24:46.48
spiritually and even
maybe somewhat physically.
00:24:46.51\00:24:50.25
And so we
definitely need prayers.
00:24:50.49\00:24:53.92
People don't understand
00:24:56.19\00:24:58.23
the effort that it
takes to actually create
00:24:58.26\00:25:01.06
some type of quality
content quality video.
00:25:01.10\00:25:04.53
We want to take you
00:25:04.70\00:25:06.33
and we want to
put you in a position
00:25:06.37\00:25:08.07
where you can
understand what it's like
00:25:08.10\00:25:10.91
to be one of
these Bible workers.
00:25:10.94\00:25:12.41
And the only way that we can
actually effectively do this is
00:25:12.44\00:25:15.51
if you get to actually
live with them and experience
00:25:15.54\00:25:19.55
what they experience
and see what they eat,
00:25:19.58\00:25:21.78
see what they do
on a day to day basis.
00:25:21.82\00:25:23.75
And the only way that
we can actually capture
00:25:23.79\00:25:25.35
that is we have
to do that as well.
00:25:25.39\00:25:27.16
When I see the great
need, both spiritually
00:25:35.96\00:25:38.27
and physically, I can oftentimes
become very discouraged.
00:25:38.30\00:25:42.04
The pain here is great
people living in the dirt
00:25:42.50\00:25:45.14
who can hardly afford
to eat, still spend money
00:25:45.17\00:25:47.98
that they don't have on idols
for their homes and offerings
00:25:48.01\00:25:51.51
for their temples.
00:25:51.55\00:25:53.05
The fear of the
unknown can be seen
00:25:53.08\00:25:54.75
in the faces of these
people, and I long for them
00:25:54.78\00:25:57.72
to have the peace
that we take for granted.
00:25:57.75\00:26:04.66
You know, I've
heard it said that
00:26:04.69\00:26:05.66
Jesus spent
00:26:05.69\00:26:06.53
two thirds of his time
00:26:06.56\00:26:08.00
on this earth healing
and ministering to people.
00:26:08.03\00:26:11.10
I think sometimes we forget that
reaching people with the hope
00:26:11.30\00:26:14.47
of Jesus isn't simply about
00:26:14.50\00:26:16.57
having the right message or
presenting it in the proper way.
00:26:16.60\00:26:19.67
We are to be a
living example of what true
00:26:20.08\00:26:22.64
love really looks like.
00:26:22.68\00:26:24.88
Now, This shouldn't
be a gotcha concept,
00:26:24.91\00:26:27.05
but it only becomes that way
00:26:27.08\00:26:28.45
when we attempt to take
over the Holy Spirit's job.
00:26:28.48\00:26:31.85
Now we currently have three
00:26:35.76\00:26:37.36
Gospel Outreach
workers on Sagar Island,
00:26:37.39\00:26:40.03
and we were so impressed
by the true outpouring of love
00:26:40.06\00:26:43.50
they show to the
people around them.
00:26:43.77\00:26:46.03
Like these workers,
I never want to feel
00:26:46.07\00:26:48.34
as if I have an agenda.
00:26:48.37\00:26:50.27
I want to be a conduit for the
Holy Spirit and nothing more.
00:26:50.31\00:26:53.44
So my question is,
00:26:56.14\00:26:57.88
what's your motivation?
00:26:57.91\00:27:31.15
if you have made it
00:27:31.18\00:27:32.21
to the end of this
episode of Destination 10/40,
00:27:32.25\00:27:34.45
we want to thank
you for watching.
00:27:34.48\00:27:36.08
If you've seen the
show and you want to donate
00:27:36.12\00:27:37.85
to Gospel Outreach
because of this show,
00:27:37.89\00:27:40.29
we want to ask that if you
donate online at goaim.org,
00:27:40.32\00:27:43.39
that you just leave
in the description box
00:27:44.99\00:27:46.73
when you donate the
words Destination 1040.
00:27:46.76\00:27:49.76
The same thing if you
send a check just right
00:27:49.80\00:27:51.77
in the memo line Destination
10/40, that way we can keep
00:27:51.80\00:27:54.80
track of how much money
we have raised from the show.
00:27:54.84\00:27:58.21
Because one of the things
00:27:58.24\00:27:59.11
that we are wanting
to do from this show
00:27:59.14\00:28:01.24
is we want to raise $100,000
over the next six months
00:28:01.28\00:28:04.28
while we're
00:28:04.31\00:28:05.41
traveling for Gospel Outreach
to support Bible workers
00:28:05.45\00:28:08.32
and $100,000 will
support how many Bible workers?
00:28:08.55\00:28:11.29
55 for one year.
00:28:11.32\00:28:13.42
And we are sorry if
this has been loud because
00:28:13.46\00:28:17.09
we are in India.
00:28:17.13\00:28:22.96
okay, bye.
00:28:23.00\00:28:24.03
