Trying to get in
shape for my trip to India.
00:00:18.48\00:00:20.83
Christ said to go into all
the world and preach the gospel
00:00:20.89\00:00:25.28
to every creature.
00:00:25.31\00:00:26.28
The problem is we
have no idea who they are.
00:00:26.29\00:00:32.30
How are we supposed to
effectively communicate
00:00:32.33\00:00:34.39
the gospel to a people we know
nothing about; how they think,
00:00:34.42\00:00:37.96
what kind of pressures
they have in their daily lives?
00:00:37.99\00:00:41.45
Come with me and let's
meet India Face to Face.
00:00:41.67\00:00:44.96
It's hard to believe the grip
that Hinduism has on the masses
00:01:06.80\00:01:10.65
of people in India.
00:01:10.68\00:01:11.99
Devotees often walk hundreds
of miles barefoot to participate
00:01:14.08\00:01:18.10
in these mass
ceremonies that fill the senses,
00:01:18.13\00:01:20.64
exercise the emotions,
and captivate the mind.
00:01:20.67\00:01:23.94
And the grip is
especially strong in this city.
00:01:23.97\00:01:27.24
Palani is a temple town.
00:01:27.27\00:01:29.72
It's a fortress of Hinduism.
00:01:29.75\00:01:31.90
You can see the lights
up ahead of the temple mound
00:01:34.04\00:01:36.37
that dominates this city.
00:01:36.40\00:01:37.71
Being here stimulates a
lot of questions in my mind.
00:01:39.59\00:01:43.00
If this is such a holy
city, why is it so dirty?
00:01:45.45\00:01:48.89
And who really
benefits from all this devotion?
00:01:49.88\00:01:52.22
We'll buy some nice
fruit when we go back.
00:01:52.25\00:01:53.98
Right now we're out
trying to find something to eat.
00:01:54.01\00:01:56.66
As you can see,
there's quite a few options.
00:01:56.69\00:01:58.98
But what would it be like to
share the good news of salvation
00:02:00.02\00:02:03.63
through Jesus
Christ in a city like this?
00:02:03.66\00:02:06.80
What's the chili mushroom like?
00:02:06.83\00:02:08.24
It's made with mushrooms
soaked in a chili preparation.
00:02:08.27\00:02:13.47
My mind keeps going back to
Sathish, a twenty-first century
00:02:13.50\00:02:18.25
hero of the faith.
00:02:18.28\00:02:19.80
Now I'm guessing you'd
want to have a church that would
00:05:44.85\00:05:48.05
be fireproof.
00:05:48.08\00:05:49.52
Fireproof, yeah,
that would be better.
00:05:49.55\00:05:53.36
That would be very safe for us.
00:05:53.39\00:05:55.67
So this whole Hinduism
thing is all about money?
00:07:08.58\00:07:11.42
Right, because they
make a lot of money.
00:07:22.57\00:07:24.49
Yeah!
00:07:24.52\00:07:25.78
Do you want oranges, sweet lime?
00:12:43.83\00:12:46.44
Yeah, yeah, that sounds great.
00:12:46.47\00:12:48.38
Banana, sweet lime
with banana for you?
00:13:15.95\00:13:19.01
Alright!
00:13:19.04\00:13:20.01
How's that?
00:13:20.02\00:13:20.99
This is only a banana milkshake.
00:13:21.00\00:13:22.87
That's great.
00:13:22.90\00:13:23.87
This food cheap
and good in India.
00:13:23.88\00:13:25.65
Yeah.
00:13:25.68\00:13:26.65
How much does that
banana milkshake cost?
00:13:26.66\00:13:29.00
Ten rupees.
00:13:29.03\00:13:30.00
Ten rupees, so
twenty-five cents.
00:13:30.01\00:13:31.38
Yes, of course.
00:13:31.41\00:13:32.38
You can't buy anything
for a quarter in America.
00:13:32.39\00:13:34.55
Well, I still don't know
why this place is so dirty.
00:13:36.38\00:13:39.26
But I do know that the native
missionaries need our support.
00:13:39.29\00:13:43.32
I wonder, has God blessed
the West so much for such
00:13:43.35\00:13:48.02
a time as this?
00:13:48.05\00:13:49.02
