Hello and welcome
to Jesus for Asia Now.
00:00:21.85\00:00:24.32
I'm Natalie Wood, and
I'm here with my husband Jon
00:00:24.32\00:00:27.09
to talk some more about
Mindoro and the amazing miracles
00:00:27.09\00:00:30.89
that we've seen there.
00:00:30.89\00:00:32.09
Welcome to the show, dear.
00:00:32.09\00:00:33.29
Hi, darling, I'm looking forward
00:00:33.29\00:00:35.00
to another show on Mindoro.
00:00:35.00\00:00:36.80
Right.
00:00:36.80\00:00:37.83
There's a lot of
amazing stories to share.
00:00:37.83\00:00:39.77
Some real
miracle stories. Right.
00:00:39.77\00:00:41.74
And this just came in. Right.
00:00:41.74\00:00:43.84
So this is happening, I
mean, this just happened.
00:00:43.84\00:00:46.37
Shall we play the video? Yes.
00:00:46.37\00:00:47.68
All right, here we go.
00:00:47.68\00:00:48.71
Three weeks ago.
00:00:51.48\00:00:52.85
Lord, this is your farm.
00:01:01.49\00:01:03.22
May Your name be
great in this farm.
00:01:03.22\00:01:06.13
So we prayed for a farm...
00:01:51.57\00:01:54.61
So 15 kilometers from here.
00:02:03.42\00:02:05.59
Eventually, praise the Lord
00:02:05.59\00:02:07.92
Lord, this is your farm.
00:02:18.93\00:02:20.47
May Your name be
great in this farm
00:02:20.47\00:02:23.10
that the people around will see
00:02:23.10\00:02:25.31
that there's a
God in Your servant.
00:02:25.31\00:02:29.11
Imagine, three weeks ago...
00:02:37.89\00:02:40.59
And when I visited
the farm, lo and behold...
00:02:59.67\00:03:04.28
You are a living God.
00:04:39.51\00:04:40.64
You answer Your people's prayer.
00:04:40.64\00:04:43.51
Those who work with
Christ are allied with the One
00:04:47.52\00:04:50.79
Who knows no failure.
00:04:50.79\00:04:53.89
Isn't that an amazing miracle?
00:05:38.73\00:05:40.50
That is amazing. Wow!
00:05:40.50\00:05:42.20
God is so God and it's because
the rice is for giving away.
00:05:42.20\00:05:46.11
Yeah.
00:05:46.11\00:05:47.18
But it's so clear,
I mean, flatten field,
00:05:47.18\00:05:49.88
standing straight up,
00:05:49.88\00:05:50.95
they're right
next to each other.
00:05:50.95\00:05:52.28
Yeah. That's a God thing.
00:05:52.28\00:05:54.22
Yeah, and on the drone
shots, you could see it
00:05:54.22\00:05:56.15
was like it was
surrounded by flatten fields.
00:05:56.15\00:05:58.89
Yeah.
00:05:58.89\00:06:00.16
And their fields stood straight.
00:06:00.16\00:06:01.66
Yeah.
00:06:01.66\00:06:02.72
I mean, you
hear about this stuff
00:06:02.72\00:06:03.79
and like
missionary story books...
00:06:03.79\00:06:04.96
Old books, yeah.
00:06:04.96\00:06:06.43
This is amazing. Yeah.
00:06:06.43\00:06:08.70
And so we can't
praise God enough.
00:06:08.70\00:06:10.73
I mean, you know, to exalt God
when things like this happen,
00:06:10.73\00:06:14.50
it's a picture into who God is
00:06:14.50\00:06:17.04
and it's a
picture into His power
00:06:17.04\00:06:18.91
and this should be
set up as a memorial.
00:06:18.91\00:06:21.81
God did this. Right.
00:06:21.81\00:06:23.21
Yeah. God is awesome.
00:06:23.21\00:06:24.85
He really is.
00:06:24.85\00:06:26.45
And that encourages not only us
but encourages Pete and Jessica
00:06:26.45\00:06:30.25
and all the people around
him, and it creates an interest
00:06:30.25\00:06:33.72
in the other farmers I'm sure.
00:06:33.72\00:06:35.86
Right.
00:06:35.86\00:06:36.83
To find out who is
this God that you serve.
00:06:36.83\00:06:38.46
Right.
00:06:38.46\00:06:39.53
What's the difference between
00:06:39.53\00:06:40.93
your God and the
God that I serve?
00:06:40.93\00:06:43.23
'Cause of those
people are Catholic,
00:06:43.23\00:06:45.03
many people in the
Philippians are Catholic.
00:06:45.03\00:06:46.77
Right. It's like 90% Catholic.
00:06:46.77\00:06:48.20
Yes,
absolutely. Praise the Lord.
00:06:48.20\00:06:50.24
What a testimony
through the power of God
00:06:50.24\00:06:52.21
and His personal
interest in our lives.
00:06:52.21\00:06:53.94
Yes.
00:06:53.94\00:06:55.54
All right, in the next
story that we have to share
00:06:55.54\00:06:57.81
is about one of
the missionaries.
00:06:57.81\00:07:00.12
And his name is Macdong,
and he's got a neat testimony.
00:07:00.12\00:07:05.15
Absolutely.
00:07:05.15\00:07:06.22
So let's play
the video now. Okay.
00:07:06.22\00:07:08.62
You are my soul
00:07:08.62\00:07:12.66
You are my soul
00:07:12.66\00:07:16.87
You are the reason
00:07:16.87\00:07:20.30
I sing to You
00:07:20.30\00:07:25.24
A laid back 30
year old mountaineer,
00:07:36.25\00:07:38.79
who calls Mountain View College
in Valencia Bukidnon his home.
00:07:38.79\00:07:44.53
He is a welder, but he
proved to be more than that.
00:07:44.53\00:07:49.06
For when there was a
call for missionaries
00:07:49.06\00:07:51.37
to the Mangyan
people in Mindoro.
00:07:51.37\00:07:53.54
He readily responded.
00:07:53.54\00:07:57.77
In May 2014,
during a Youth Congress
00:07:57.77\00:08:01.98
at Mountain View College,
00:08:01.98\00:08:03.98
Macdong met Pete
and Jessica Barolo.
00:08:03.98\00:08:07.95
After hearing their testimonies
00:08:07.95\00:08:09.68
of God's providential
grace he was impressed
00:08:09.68\00:08:13.62
to join them in ministering
to the Mangyan tribe.
00:08:13.62\00:08:16.42
So, bringing along 60
kilos (132 lbs) of luggage,
00:09:00.64\00:09:04.77
he traveled to
Mindoro on his bicycle.
00:09:04.77\00:09:07.41
Yes, you heard that right.
00:09:21.49\00:09:24.99
For 8 days he rode his bike,
00:09:24.99\00:09:28.20
covering a
distance of 1,238 kilometers
00:09:28.20\00:09:33.17
all the way from
Southern Philippines, Mindanao.
00:09:33.17\00:09:36.64
With nothing else
to offer but himself,
00:10:13.61\00:10:16.64
Macdong trusted that God
00:10:16.64\00:10:18.45
would make use of his abilities.
00:10:18.45\00:10:21.38
He did everything he could
to help in God's mission field.
00:10:21.38\00:10:25.92
From making tofu,
to patiently teaching
00:10:25.92\00:10:28.92
the Mangyans at
the mission school.
00:10:28.92\00:10:32.99
Today, there are five
volunteer teachers assigned
00:10:32.99\00:10:36.63
in different mountain villages.
00:10:36.63\00:10:39.43
They bravely face obstacles,
00:10:39.43\00:10:42.47
often climbing
different terrains
00:10:42.47\00:10:44.64
in order to reach
these Mangyan friends.
00:10:44.64\00:10:47.51
Only in the Lord, do
they find their strength.
00:10:47.51\00:10:52.41
But as they see their
sacrifices bear fruit,
00:10:52.41\00:10:55.72
they experience
joy in His service.
00:10:55.72\00:11:00.99
There are so many
villages longing for education,
00:11:00.99\00:11:05.39
and many have not
heard of God's saving grace.
00:11:05.39\00:11:09.33
But who will go?
00:11:09.33\00:11:13.50
Just like Macdong it can be you!
00:11:13.50\00:11:16.84
Amazing story, huh?
00:11:19.87\00:11:21.28
Yeah, and beautiful
00:11:21.28\00:11:22.51
because it was just
his heart was right there.
00:11:22.51\00:11:25.05
Yeah.
00:11:25.05\00:11:26.11
And he packed
himself up and headed off.
00:11:26.11\00:11:28.18
Recently, we've
heard that he goes
00:11:28.18\00:11:30.15
and he mortgages
his bicycle to buy tools
00:11:30.15\00:11:33.89
to teach the Mangyans
to work their gardens.
00:11:33.89\00:11:36.29
Right.
00:11:36.29\00:11:37.36
Trying to get them to
farm so that they don't have
00:11:37.36\00:11:40.16
to carry in all
the food that they eat,
00:11:40.16\00:11:42.30
and they don't
have to find food like
00:11:42.30\00:11:44.97
we're going to
see in our next video.
00:11:44.97\00:11:47.40
So that's what it takes
for them to get some food.
00:14:13.58\00:14:16.28
Right.
00:14:16.28\00:14:17.32
So there's no pick
it today, eat it today.
00:14:17.32\00:14:19.42
Right.
00:14:19.42\00:14:20.49
They have to pick it
today and prepare it,
00:14:20.49\00:14:22.12
and prepare it, and prepare it.
00:14:22.12\00:14:23.83
It's a three-day process
of soaking, and then rinsing,
00:14:23.83\00:14:28.10
and then drying for three
days, and then they can cook it.
00:14:28.10\00:14:32.83
Yeah. And it's
starts out poisonous.
00:14:32.83\00:14:35.47
I mean, we want
to bring that out
00:14:35.47\00:14:37.07
because he said
it a little bit there
00:14:37.07\00:14:39.27
but you have to wash
your hands afterward,
00:14:39.27\00:14:41.28
but if when they work
with this, it's poisonous,
00:14:41.28\00:14:44.65
and it makes them
dizzy or they can feel sick
00:14:44.65\00:14:47.92
because of the poison in that.
00:14:47.92\00:14:49.52
Yeah, so it's
just this plant, like,
00:14:49.52\00:14:52.15
a little plant at the top,
00:14:52.15\00:14:53.56
but it's got this big
bulbous under the ground,
00:14:53.56\00:14:55.59
you have to dig it out and
then do all this processing
00:14:55.59\00:14:59.06
before they can eat it.
00:14:59.06\00:15:00.33
And that's there main staple,
I mean, it doesn't look like
00:15:00.33\00:15:02.40
there's a lot of
nutrition in that.
00:15:02.40\00:15:03.77
No, it doesn't.
00:15:03.77\00:15:05.00
So you can imagine why
they have the malnutrition
00:15:05.00\00:15:07.34
and the kids
have the big tummies
00:15:07.34\00:15:08.94
and all that kind of stuff.
00:15:08.94\00:15:10.31
Wow. Yeah.
00:15:10.31\00:15:11.54
Yeah, and why it's so
important to supply them
00:15:11.54\00:15:13.68
with rice and vegetables.
00:15:13.68\00:15:16.04
Yes, and teach
them then how to...
00:15:16.04\00:15:18.61
Once they learn
that Jesus is bigger
00:15:18.61\00:15:20.78
than the demon spirits
00:15:20.78\00:15:22.72
and they can stay
in one place longer,
00:15:22.72\00:15:25.65
then they can start
growing their vegetables,
00:15:25.65\00:15:27.72
growing their own crops,
and massive change, I mean,
00:15:27.72\00:15:32.73
to live in fear of the
Bukaw when you actually hear,
00:15:32.73\00:15:35.96
and we're going to...
00:15:35.96\00:15:37.03
In the next video,
he's going to talk about
00:15:37.03\00:15:38.60
what that's like to
live in this kind of fear
00:15:38.60\00:15:41.60
where you can
actually hear the evil spirit
00:15:41.60\00:15:44.27
moving around the village.
00:15:44.27\00:15:45.51
Yeah. It's not...
00:15:45.51\00:15:47.51
I mean, for people that...
00:15:47.51\00:15:48.58
It's not pretend, it's
not something we just make up
00:15:48.58\00:15:51.38
or something,
it's very, very real.
00:15:51.38\00:15:53.15
Right.
00:15:53.15\00:15:54.22
And for people
that don't believe
00:15:54.22\00:15:55.42
in the supernatural, you know,
there's places in the world
00:15:55.42\00:15:59.09
where you don't
have to believe in it
00:15:59.09\00:16:00.79
'cause it's there.
00:16:00.79\00:16:01.92
It just is a reality. Yeah.
00:16:01.92\00:16:04.33
And find Jesus who is
stronger and who cares,
00:16:04.33\00:16:10.70
what a break through.
00:16:10.70\00:16:11.93
Yeah. What a change of life.
That's awesome. That's awesome.
00:16:11.93\00:16:15.34
All right, let's
run that video now.
00:16:15.34\00:16:16.87
Okay.
00:16:16.87\00:16:17.94
When it's dark, the
Mungyan would shout:
00:16:17.94\00:16:20.54
A Bukaw, there's Bukaw.
00:16:20.54\00:16:22.21
They will shout so...
00:16:22.21\00:16:24.78
children don't leave
the house, stay home!
00:16:24.78\00:16:28.62
And they will call the teachers,
00:16:28.62\00:16:29.98
"Sir, please
come, there's Bukaw,
00:16:29.98\00:16:32.85
"the Bukaw will eat you!"
00:16:32.85\00:16:35.02
Do they see it
or they just know.
00:16:35.02\00:16:37.26
They hear it flying.
00:16:37.26\00:16:39.36
Oh, wow. I heard it myself.
00:16:39.36\00:16:41.13
Really? Yeah.
00:16:41.13\00:16:43.70
Yeah, we heard it
there. Just the wind going by?
00:16:43.70\00:16:46.20
You know, the
strong flapping of wings.
00:16:46.20\00:16:49.14
Sounds like wings. Yes.
00:16:49.14\00:16:50.84
Like that.
00:16:50.84\00:16:51.91
You can't see because it's dark.
00:16:51.91\00:16:53.07
Right.
00:16:53.07\00:16:54.08
But sometimes it
changes sound like big woman
00:16:54.08\00:16:57.58
or old man something like that
00:16:57.58\00:16:59.71
sometimes it's big
sometimes small, you know...
00:16:59.71\00:17:03.05
Yeah, they know this Bukaw.
00:17:03.05\00:17:05.09
They know it's an evil spirit.
They know that's evil spirit.
00:17:05.09\00:17:08.26
Wow. Yeah.
00:17:08.26\00:17:09.69
So, what can you do
if you're a missionary
00:17:09.69\00:17:11.83
in the middle of this...
00:17:11.83\00:17:13.90
Yeah. You're alone and so sad...
00:17:13.90\00:17:16.93
He was alone during that time.
00:17:16.93\00:17:19.30
Had it not been for
Jesus, we would not be here.
00:17:19.30\00:17:21.87
It's because of
Jesus, we're here.
00:17:21.87\00:17:23.67
So, you know, the missionary,
instead of getting afraid
00:17:23.67\00:17:27.21
got his small guitar
and started singing hymns.
00:17:27.21\00:17:32.68
It's not the worldly
music, it's singing hymns.
00:17:32.68\00:17:36.75
"Upon a hill far away..."
00:17:36.75\00:17:39.45
something like that
and then after that,
00:17:39.45\00:17:41.92
he had this assurance that
Jesus was with him, prayed.
00:17:41.92\00:17:47.03
And then, he did not go
to the houses of the Mungyans
00:17:47.03\00:17:52.90
though he was alone
and he has the conviction
00:17:52.90\00:17:55.24
that the angels are with him
so he staying in the cottage,
00:17:55.24\00:17:58.81
the school.
00:17:58.81\00:17:59.87
The following
night, the same story!
00:17:59.87\00:18:02.94
The same story. It
happened for almost a month.
00:18:02.94\00:18:06.15
But, you know, something in him,
00:18:06.15\00:18:09.25
the missionary got stronger,
his faith is getting stronger,
00:18:09.25\00:18:12.25
he noticed that
when he is singing,
00:18:12.25\00:18:13.89
the monster cannot come near.
00:18:13.89\00:18:17.76
So instead of the...
00:18:17.76\00:18:19.86
Because since the
monster cannot come to him,
00:18:19.86\00:18:23.33
he is
approaching the monster now
00:18:23.33\00:18:25.03
with his guitar, he is walking,
"Oh, where is that sound?
00:18:25.03\00:18:27.54
Okay, I'll go there.
00:18:27.54\00:18:28.74
O Jesus, I have promised..."
00:18:28.74\00:18:31.64
It sounds like that.
00:18:31.64\00:18:33.51
And when he goes
there, the monster flies away.
00:18:33.51\00:18:36.44
Wow.
00:18:36.44\00:18:39.05
It really happened
for almost a month.
00:18:39.05\00:18:42.58
And that they noticed, the
Mungyans here noticed that,
00:18:42.58\00:18:45.99
"Really, your Jesus is
stronger than the Bukaws."
00:18:45.99\00:18:49.12
You are not afraid.
00:18:49.12\00:18:50.36
They started
believing that Jesus somebody.
00:18:50.36\00:18:54.03
That Jesus is
stronger than their fears.
00:18:54.03\00:18:58.03
So that's why we have the
fruits here, the children.
00:18:58.03\00:19:01.87
Yeah. We have
the church here now.
00:19:01.87\00:19:03.57
Yeah. It's
because of a firm belief.
00:19:03.57\00:19:09.24
Yes.
00:19:09.24\00:19:10.28
That our God is
mightier than anyone else.
00:19:10.28\00:19:13.05
Yeah, spoken in their language.
00:19:13.05\00:19:15.95
Yes, spoken in their language.
00:19:15.95\00:19:17.22
That they can see. Yes.
00:19:17.22\00:19:18.95
Praise the Lord.
00:19:18.95\00:19:21.09
Ain't that amazing?
00:19:21.09\00:19:22.66
Yeah, you know, it's so
neat to hear the stories
00:19:22.66\00:19:24.96
while you're
standing right there
00:19:24.96\00:19:26.23
where that happened.
00:19:26.23\00:19:27.23
Yeah.
00:19:27.23\00:19:28.26
You know, and to think about...
00:19:28.26\00:19:29.26
Now there was one
section in there where he said
00:19:29.26\00:19:32.60
that he didn't go to
their huts was that because
00:19:32.60\00:19:35.57
he was staying away from
them because he didn't like them
00:19:35.57\00:19:38.61
or what was the deal there?
00:19:38.61\00:19:40.11
You know, he was
singing in his hut
00:19:40.11\00:19:41.98
and praying in his
hut and what means is that
00:19:41.98\00:19:44.38
if you hear a Bukaw, if
the villagers hear a Bukaw,
00:19:44.38\00:19:47.25
they all gather
together, huddle together.
00:19:47.25\00:19:49.02
If one person is out
alone, that's really scary
00:19:49.02\00:19:51.39
and dangerous actually.
00:19:51.39\00:19:52.45
Right.
00:19:52.45\00:19:53.52
'Cause the monster
will more likely attack
00:19:53.52\00:19:55.16
an individual than a group
00:19:55.16\00:19:57.73
and so they all huddle together.
00:19:57.73\00:19:59.06
And so for him to stay out there
00:19:59.06\00:20:00.43
all by himself in his own house,
00:20:00.43\00:20:02.43
it was really scary.
00:20:02.43\00:20:03.87
And it was act of faith
because he sung, and he prayed,
00:20:03.87\00:20:07.34
and he believed
Christ was with Him
00:20:07.34\00:20:09.47
and he had that confidence
to stay out by himself.
00:20:09.47\00:20:12.21
There's another
story that's not in this
00:20:12.21\00:20:13.84
where he went and
chopped down a spirit tree
00:20:13.84\00:20:17.28
and he didn't do
it all in one day
00:20:17.28\00:20:19.11
'cause he would pray
00:20:19.11\00:20:20.22
and he would get
confidence and...
00:20:20.22\00:20:21.95
And then the spirit tree...
00:20:21.95\00:20:23.12
they thought it was a
spirit because it's a tree
00:20:23.12\00:20:25.29
that all the fireflies like.
00:20:25.29\00:20:27.79
And so he'd have to like
chop it down a little bit
00:20:27.79\00:20:30.06
and he gets sacred, and
he go back and play, pray,
00:20:30.06\00:20:32.23
and Lord will
give him more strength,
00:20:32.23\00:20:34.00
and he go do little bit more.
00:20:34.00\00:20:35.30
And finally, he chopped it down.
00:20:35.30\00:20:36.43
All the villagers thought
he was going to die for sure,
00:20:36.43\00:20:39.37
but he didn't.
00:20:39.37\00:20:40.67
And so this is
how they are beginning
00:20:40.67\00:20:43.00
to have confidence,
00:20:43.00\00:20:44.11
"Oh, your Jesus is
stronger than the demon spirits,
00:20:44.11\00:20:48.21
the monsters, the
man-eating monsters."
00:20:48.21\00:20:50.75
And so they're starting to
have faith in their own way
00:20:50.75\00:20:55.08
and starting to
believe in Jesus Christ.
00:20:55.08\00:20:57.15
God is working in
ways that they understand.
00:20:57.15\00:20:59.19
Yeah.
00:20:59.19\00:21:00.39
And things that
affect them directly.
00:21:00.39\00:21:01.99
And this is the thing,
00:21:01.99\00:21:03.06
if you come into
a village like this
00:21:03.06\00:21:04.46
and do an evangelistic
series and you know,
00:21:04.46\00:21:07.60
tell them about Jesus...
00:21:07.60\00:21:09.30
They don't have
anything to relate to, you know.
00:21:09.30\00:21:11.03
Exactly.
00:21:11.03\00:21:12.13
But when they see,
you know, their fear,
00:21:12.13\00:21:14.90
their biggest fear...
00:21:14.90\00:21:16.77
The spirits are the ones
that are in charge, okay?
00:21:16.77\00:21:20.08
Right.
00:21:20.08\00:21:21.41
And when a being comes
in that cares for them,
00:21:21.41\00:21:24.45
that loves them, that
is good and is stronger
00:21:24.45\00:21:27.55
than the evil
spirits, that talks.
00:21:27.55\00:21:29.82
Right.
00:21:29.82\00:21:31.09
And God is so good He's working
in ways that they understand.
00:21:31.09\00:21:34.29
Yes.
00:21:34.29\00:21:35.36
And speaking into
their lives and it's real.
00:21:35.36\00:21:37.89
Very, very real.
00:21:37.89\00:21:39.26
Now one side is
that our churches done...
00:21:39.26\00:21:42.60
In fact, the Christian
Faith is done very well
00:21:42.60\00:21:45.57
among the animist
tribes because there's really
00:21:45.57\00:21:50.04
nothing there but
fear to replace it.
00:21:50.04\00:21:52.51
It struggles when you
come to try our people groups
00:21:52.51\00:21:56.75
that are more sophisticated
that have a religion,
00:21:56.75\00:22:00.52
that have
materialism, material wealth,
00:22:00.52\00:22:03.52
our church
struggles in those areas.
00:22:03.52\00:22:06.25
But I think there is still
as much a need in those areas
00:22:06.25\00:22:09.36
as there is in places
where you can physically see
00:22:09.36\00:22:12.96
there is a need.
00:22:12.96\00:22:14.00
Right.
00:22:14.00\00:22:15.06
I mean, you go
Downtown, Bangkok and they have,
00:22:15.06\00:22:17.13
you know, shopping malls
with Rolls-Royce dealerships
00:22:17.13\00:22:21.77
on the fourth floor, you know?
00:22:21.77\00:22:22.97
Yeah.
00:22:22.97\00:22:24.27
It looks like
they are doing fine,
00:22:24.27\00:22:26.51
but in actuality, there
may be the need in the soul,
00:22:26.51\00:22:29.71
there is the need in the soul
00:22:29.71\00:22:31.95
just as much as
with people like this.
00:22:31.95\00:22:35.12
Right. Right.
00:22:35.12\00:22:36.92
It's just harder to see it,
00:22:36.92\00:22:37.95
and it's harder to visualize it.
00:22:37.95\00:22:39.32
Right. Yeah.
00:22:39.32\00:22:40.59
And many times, it's
harder to reach them.
00:22:40.59\00:22:42.42
Yes.
00:22:42.42\00:22:43.49
You have to be
very, very intentional.
00:22:43.49\00:22:45.23
Yes, but as in this
situation where it took miracles
00:22:45.23\00:22:48.40
with Jesus
actually showing Himself,
00:22:48.40\00:22:51.57
the same thing, He
does the same thing
00:22:51.57\00:22:53.23
with the upper
class people, you know?
00:22:53.23\00:22:56.24
Right.
00:22:56.24\00:22:57.27
It is not
irrespective of persons.
00:22:57.27\00:22:58.84
Absolutely not.
00:22:58.84\00:22:59.91
The wealth, their
wealth doesn't frighten them,
00:22:59.91\00:23:02.78
like, it does to me.
00:23:02.78\00:23:03.88
Right, he's afraid in God.
00:23:03.88\00:23:06.51
Yeah. Right.
00:23:06.51\00:23:07.62
He is not
selfish, and He goes in,
00:23:07.62\00:23:11.09
and He moves into their
lives, and He helps them
00:23:11.09\00:23:12.89
in where they have concerns
and where they have worries,
00:23:12.89\00:23:15.76
and fears, and
something like that.
00:23:15.76\00:23:17.56
He helps them, He
touches their heart,
00:23:17.56\00:23:18.99
gives them that
warmth, fills their soul
00:23:18.99\00:23:21.36
even the people
that have so much,
00:23:21.36\00:23:24.30
they're empty.
00:23:24.30\00:23:25.60
Lot of times, they just
have this barrenness of soul
00:23:25.60\00:23:28.17
and all the things of the world
doesn't fill that soul hunger
00:23:28.17\00:23:33.11
that they...
00:23:33.11\00:23:34.21
And many of them recognize
that and they're looking.
00:23:34.21\00:23:36.51
Yeah.
00:23:36.51\00:23:37.71
It's hard for us to see that,
but they're looking and so.
00:23:37.71\00:23:40.02
We love the mission
work into the unreached
00:23:40.02\00:23:43.69
as far as the really
poor and the animists,
00:23:43.69\00:23:48.99
but we also love the work
00:23:48.99\00:23:50.59
that reaches
the different class.
00:23:50.59\00:23:52.53
Yeah, the unreached
of wealthier classes too.
00:23:52.53\00:23:55.13
Exactly.
00:23:55.13\00:23:56.60
But you do notice that
it took people living there.
00:23:56.60\00:24:00.20
Right. Okay.
00:24:00.20\00:24:01.57
And it took them intentionally
being willing to go there.
00:24:01.57\00:24:04.21
Yes.
00:24:04.21\00:24:05.51
So it wasn't an accident,
it wasn't just the people
00:24:05.51\00:24:09.41
that needed came to
them, they had to go there.
00:24:09.41\00:24:13.01
And it wasn't flier.
00:24:13.01\00:24:15.28
In some places, the
fliers do amazing work,
00:24:15.28\00:24:18.59
but in this case, it took
somebody who living there.
00:24:18.59\00:24:20.46
It took a life.
00:24:20.46\00:24:21.72
And I think that in most cases,
it takes someone living there.
00:24:21.72\00:24:26.09
There's other
ways to reach them,
00:24:26.09\00:24:27.50
but it takes somebody
to live there for them
00:24:27.50\00:24:30.17
to actually see it.
00:24:30.17\00:24:31.43
Yeah.
00:24:31.43\00:24:33.10
God is so good. Amen.
00:24:33.10\00:24:34.74
So this last video, we're
going to be sharing in neat.
00:24:34.74\00:24:37.87
Okay. Pete's
talking about a request.
00:24:37.87\00:24:41.68
So a request for
prayer and a request for help.
00:24:41.68\00:24:45.35
There's other
villages still that have...
00:24:45.35\00:24:46.82
Yes!
00:24:46.82\00:24:48.88
That believe is
everywhere among this culture.
00:24:48.88\00:24:52.15
How many other
villages are there out there?
00:24:52.15\00:24:54.36
Oh, we had aerial
survey and I lost count
00:24:54.36\00:24:58.43
at 30, 30 more
villages like this.
00:24:58.43\00:25:03.03
Wow.
00:25:03.03\00:25:04.30
So the work is so big. Yeah.
00:25:04.30\00:25:06.43
So after getting from the plane,
00:25:06.43\00:25:08.47
I am sadder than before.
00:25:08.47\00:25:10.71
I thought I would be
happy to see the villages
00:25:10.71\00:25:12.71
and the villagers,
00:25:12.71\00:25:13.78
but that thing
was really different.
00:25:13.78\00:25:16.01
I was sad, really sad.
00:25:16.01\00:25:18.05
"Lord, we have
done nothing yet."
00:25:18.05\00:25:19.81
What is 3 villages in 30 more?
00:25:19.81\00:25:23.49
But who will go up there?
00:25:23.49\00:25:26.35
We cannot go because
we're wearing clothes.
00:25:26.35\00:25:29.72
They will not
accept missionaries
00:25:29.72\00:25:31.03
wearing clothes.
00:25:31.03\00:25:32.63
Only Macdong can do that.
00:25:32.63\00:25:34.23
We're praying that
we'll send more missionaries
00:25:34.23\00:25:39.70
like brother Abar.
00:25:39.70\00:25:41.74
Mungyans.
00:25:41.74\00:25:43.04
Sent to their fellow
Mungyans to reach them.
00:25:43.04\00:25:45.81
Amen. But it's
so hard to develop.
00:25:45.81\00:25:49.68
Unless we take
another bigger plan,
00:25:49.68\00:25:52.31
unless we take
another step of faith
00:25:52.31\00:25:56.18
and that is
building a Mungyan school
00:25:56.18\00:25:58.82
where our children can be there,
00:25:58.82\00:26:00.89
can be taught
to be a missionary,
00:26:00.89\00:26:02.39
and can be sent.
00:26:02.39\00:26:03.49
Yes. Like an academy.
00:26:03.49\00:26:05.23
Yeah, an academy.
00:26:05.23\00:26:06.33
We are praying for that actually
00:26:06.33\00:26:07.96
because unless we
do that, you know,
00:26:07.96\00:26:11.60
Mungyan will
still languish in sin.
00:26:11.60\00:26:13.77
They will be terrorized
by that belief of Bukaw.
00:26:13.77\00:26:16.94
They will be
afraid of their death.
00:26:16.94\00:26:18.81
These people
now, they're no longer
00:26:18.81\00:26:20.64
afraid of their death.
00:26:20.64\00:26:22.81
Somebody died there
and they did not leave.
00:26:22.81\00:26:25.71
You know why?
00:26:25.71\00:26:26.78
Because they know
Jesus. Praise the Lord.
00:26:26.78\00:26:31.69
Well, we need to
pray for school then.
00:26:31.69\00:26:33.52
Yes. Yes.
00:26:33.52\00:26:35.99
We have to pray for school.
00:26:35.99\00:26:37.79
So I think understand
his vision to train up
00:26:37.79\00:26:43.40
the ones in the
villages that they're working in
00:26:43.40\00:26:46.63
to go deeper into the mountains.
00:26:46.63\00:26:49.10
Right.
00:26:49.10\00:26:50.17
To all those 30
and plus villages
00:26:50.17\00:26:52.47
that we're not entering in
00:26:52.47\00:26:53.74
and we're not
able to really enter in
00:26:53.74\00:26:55.94
because what he's
saying, "Who will go?"
00:26:55.94\00:26:59.25
He is talking
about the majority tribe
00:26:59.25\00:27:01.12
that the
Tagalogs or the Filipinos
00:27:01.12\00:27:04.42
who is willing to
give up their life
00:27:04.42\00:27:06.29
to go deeply into the
mountains that far in,
00:27:06.29\00:27:09.86
you know, we're talking about
00:27:09.86\00:27:11.39
maybe days worth
of travel on foot.
00:27:11.39\00:27:14.60
Right.
00:27:14.60\00:27:15.86
You know, how do they come out
and how do they get their rice?
00:27:15.86\00:27:18.33
So they would...
00:27:18.33\00:27:20.04
It would take their own
kind, the Mungyan people
00:27:20.04\00:27:24.37
that know the gospel,
that have that confidence,
00:27:24.37\00:27:26.81
and enough of them
to start penetrating
00:27:26.81\00:27:29.28
deeply into that territory.
00:27:29.28\00:27:31.61
It's been really good to hear
the stories and see the needs.
00:27:31.61\00:27:34.72
Yeah, to see the miracles. Yeah.
00:27:34.72\00:27:36.92
I would like to invite you
to please prayerfully consider
00:27:36.92\00:27:39.52
how the Lord may be calling you
to help move forward this work,
00:27:39.52\00:27:43.39
reaching these amazing
sons and daughters of God
00:27:43.39\00:27:46.16
that are living in
such primitive conditions.
