- Hello, and welcome
to "Jesus For Asia Now."
00:00:21.98\00:00:24.62
I'm Natalie Wood, and my
husband John is joining me today
00:00:24.62\00:00:27.56
for a trip into a
different, exotic,
00:00:27.56\00:00:30.56
and challenging
part of our world.
00:00:30.56\00:00:32.99
Hello, love.
00:00:32.99\00:00:34.23
You know, I'm
excited about this journey.
00:00:34.23\00:00:35.40
Where are we going today?
00:00:35.40\00:00:36.67
- We are going to the
other side of the world.
00:00:36.67\00:00:38.20
We're going to an island
00:00:38.20\00:00:40.24
in the
Philippines known as Mindoro.
00:00:40.24\00:00:41.97
- Okay.
00:00:41.97\00:00:43.41
What's our history with Mindoro?
00:00:43.41\00:00:44.71
I know we've had other,
00:00:44.71\00:00:46.31
we've done other
episodes about Mindoro,
00:00:46.31\00:00:48.41
but what is our history there?
00:00:48.41\00:00:49.98
- Well, way back in
2010 I met Pete Barolo.
00:00:49.98\00:00:53.62
He told me about the tribes
up in the mountains of Mindoro,
00:00:53.62\00:00:56.82
and he's trying to get
something started up there,
00:00:56.82\00:00:59.62
a school or something.
00:00:59.62\00:01:01.36
So I scraped
together some money,
00:01:01.36\00:01:03.19
like $250 and gave it to him.
00:01:03.19\00:01:04.89
And I didn't see him
for another four years.
00:01:04.89\00:01:07.03
- Uh huh.
00:01:07.03\00:01:08.23
- And then he came
back with all these stories
00:01:08.23\00:01:09.96
of what they had
been able to accomplish,
00:01:09.96\00:01:11.67
and they were doing this,
00:01:11.67\00:01:12.90
he was a teacher in
the government school,
00:01:12.90\00:01:14.74
and he was doing this part time,
00:01:14.74\00:01:16.24
but to support the work,
they were making soy milk,
00:01:16.24\00:01:18.57
and selling soy milk.
00:01:18.57\00:01:19.87
- Wow.
00:01:19.87\00:01:21.08
- And they were
just super dedicated,
00:01:21.08\00:01:22.54
and the kind of work
that they had accomplished,
00:01:22.54\00:01:24.68
they had not only
entered into one village,
00:01:24.68\00:01:26.28
but they were in
like five or six villages.
00:01:26.28\00:01:28.15
- Wow.
00:01:28.15\00:01:29.32
- And I thought,
man, this is somebody
00:01:29.32\00:01:30.72
who's whole heart is into it.
00:01:30.72\00:01:32.52
- Right.
00:01:32.52\00:01:33.76
- And so when we
met them again in 2016
00:01:33.76\00:01:35.56
he said that he was
ready to go full time.
00:01:36.73\00:01:38.79
Quit his job as a teacher,
00:01:38.79\00:01:40.96
and so we says
look, we wanna commit
00:01:40.96\00:01:42.80
to helping you guys out,
because we're seeing the stories
00:01:42.80\00:01:45.80
that are coming
out up there of the,
00:01:45.80\00:01:48.20
I mean, this is the
village of the Bucow
00:01:48.20\00:01:50.71
- Cause some of those
stories we've shared before.
00:01:52.11\00:01:54.38
- Yeah.
00:01:54.38\00:01:55.88
- And so people will be
like, what are we talking about?
00:01:55.88\00:01:57.31
But they'll have to
just watch the previous ones
00:01:57.31\00:01:59.61
cause we don't have time
to tell the stories again.
00:01:59.61\00:02:02.08
But yeah, there
are so many stories.
00:02:02.08\00:02:03.59
This is the story of the angel
that appeared to the elders
00:02:03.59\00:02:07.89
and told them not
to punish the children.
00:02:07.89\00:02:09.92
- Yes, and the
stand that those kids,
00:02:09.92\00:02:12.19
and also Abar was
part of that stand.
00:02:12.19\00:02:15.20
- Right, and Abar
we're gonna meet in a video
00:02:15.20\00:02:18.00
toward the end. -
[John] Of this episode.
00:02:18.00\00:02:20.20
- But yes, he was part
of that whole experience.
00:02:20.20\00:02:23.97
So there's a lot of
stories from the past
00:02:23.97\00:02:25.97
that we don't have
time to share today.
00:02:25.97\00:02:27.38
- Right.
00:02:27.38\00:02:28.61
- But we wanna just
jump right in and talk
00:02:28.61\00:02:30.01
about the children,
especially in this episode.
00:02:30.01\00:02:32.68
- Yes, the
children just, of course,
00:02:32.68\00:02:34.55
they just grab your heart.
00:02:34.55\00:02:36.35
- Hmm.
00:02:36.35\00:02:37.59
- The kids, when
you see how they live,
00:02:37.59\00:02:38.85
and the kinds of
things that they have
00:02:38.85\00:02:40.96
to deal with in their life.
00:02:40.96\00:02:42.46
And so a couple years ago,
we started the feeding program.
00:02:42.46\00:02:44.96
- Right, so they
get a lunch everyday.
00:02:44.96\00:02:47.20
Besides just having school,
00:02:47.20\00:02:48.30
they also have a lunch.
00:02:48.30\00:02:49.63
- Right.
00:02:49.63\00:02:50.87
And that has cut the
children mortality rate
00:02:50.87\00:02:54.27
from like two or three per year,
00:02:54.27\00:02:56.20
two or three
children would die per year,
00:02:56.20\00:02:59.31
to now nobody's dying.
00:02:59.31\00:03:01.48
- Right, it's amazing.
00:03:01.48\00:03:03.14
And they're not
all sick all the time.
00:03:03.14\00:03:05.21
- Right, their
immune system is strong.
00:03:05.21\00:03:07.28
- And they can learn. - Yes.
00:03:07.28\00:03:08.68
Yeah, they're
bright, and they're not,
00:03:08.68\00:03:10.09
you know,
constantly sleeping because
00:03:10.09\00:03:12.39
they're feeling all the hunger.
00:03:12.39\00:03:13.86
They can listen, they can
absorb information and stuff.
00:03:13.86\00:03:17.89
So that's really cool.
00:03:17.89\00:03:19.49
- Yeah, yeah.
00:03:19.49\00:03:20.76
So we wanna start at
the beginning of their lives
00:03:20.76\00:03:22.70
- [John] Yes.
00:03:22.70\00:03:24.20
- We wanna talk about how
they give birth in this village.
00:03:24.20\00:03:26.53
- Yes.
00:03:26.53\00:03:28.04
So the video that we're
gonna show isn't graphic.
00:03:28.04\00:03:29.87
It's not actually
showing people giving birth,
00:03:29.87\00:03:33.21
but it's just people talking
about how they give birth,
00:03:33.21\00:03:36.81
and that kind of ordeal.
00:03:36.81\00:03:39.45
- Which can be hard
for people to listen to.
00:03:39.45\00:03:42.12
But at least they
only have to listen.
00:03:42.12\00:03:43.79
- [John] Yeah. (soft chuckling)
00:03:43.79\00:03:45.05
- All right, let's
watch that video now.
00:03:45.05\00:03:46.55
- Okay.
00:03:46.55\00:03:47.39
(soft instrumental music)
00:03:48.56\00:03:52.06
(soft chattering)
00:03:56.23\00:03:59.03
(woman singing
in native language)
00:04:02.47\00:04:06.71
(speaking in foreign language)
00:04:09.61\00:04:13.55
(speaking in foreign language)
00:04:28.96\00:04:32.90
(speaking in foreign language)
00:05:32.16\00:05:36.06
Yeah, so, honey,
how did you give birth?
00:06:04.13\00:06:06.83
- In a hospital with a doctor.
00:06:06.83\00:06:09.23
- Were you in a
kneeling position?
00:06:09.23\00:06:10.80
- No I wasn't.
00:06:10.80\00:06:12.07
- And did we cut
the umbilical cord with
00:06:12.07\00:06:14.57
a vine, a hardened vine?
00:06:14.57\00:06:16.04
- No we didn't.
00:06:16.04\00:06:17.17
And we didn't put charcoal,
00:06:17.17\00:06:19.57
coconut husk
charcoal on the child.
00:06:19.57\00:06:22.68
And-- - It was very different,
00:06:22.68\00:06:24.38
wasn't it?
00:06:24.38\00:06:25.18
- Yeah. - Yeah.
00:06:25.18\00:06:26.65
- And she's delivered so
far eight children this way.
00:06:26.65\00:06:29.08
- Amazing, amazing.
00:06:29.08\00:06:31.32
We've got more
video talking about
00:06:31.32\00:06:33.52
some of the customs that they
have surrounding giving birth.
00:06:33.52\00:06:37.29
- Okay.
00:06:37.29\00:06:38.13
(speaking in foreign language)
00:06:39.83\00:06:43.80
(speaking in foreign language)
00:07:07.36\00:07:11.26
(inspirational
instrumental music)
00:08:17.13\00:08:21.36
- Can you imagine no anesthetic,
00:08:26.03\00:08:28.10
and not being able to scream?
00:08:28.10\00:08:30.17
- No, because, yeah,
00:08:30.17\00:08:31.97
the baby gets shy
then it won't come out.
00:08:31.97\00:08:34.04
- Yeah.
00:08:34.04\00:08:35.51
- It's interesting all
the explanations they have
00:08:35.51\00:08:38.28
for the different situations.
00:08:38.28\00:08:39.91
You know, if this happens,
then this is their reason.
00:08:39.91\00:08:42.18
If that happens,
then this is the reason.
00:08:42.18\00:08:44.09
And we can't do
this because of that.
00:08:44.09\00:08:46.12
We can't do
that because of that.
00:08:46.12\00:08:47.92
- Yeah.
00:08:47.92\00:08:49.19
- We have to do
it this way because,
00:08:49.19\00:08:50.19
you know, it's very interesting,
00:08:50.19\00:08:52.36
and in the
first video, you know,
00:08:52.36\00:08:54.46
there's no such
thing as infection.
00:08:54.46\00:08:56.80
That's something the doctors
just come up with to say,
00:08:56.80\00:08:59.47
and it's like they definitely
are not educated people.
00:08:59.47\00:09:03.44
They're definitely from--
00:09:03.44\00:09:05.17
- Animistic beliefs. - Yeah.
00:09:05.17\00:09:07.51
- Yeah, where
animistic belief is where
00:09:07.51\00:09:10.41
everything has a spirit,
00:09:10.41\00:09:12.35
and so they're
afraid of everything.
00:09:12.35\00:09:14.95
You know, a lot of times
it won't dig in the ground
00:09:14.95\00:09:17.09
because that'll disrupt
the dragon spirit of the earth.
00:09:17.09\00:09:20.56
- Right.
00:09:20.56\00:09:22.06
- Certain parts of, like, if
there's a spring in the water
00:09:22.06\00:09:23.56
they're afraid of that because
00:09:23.56\00:09:24.53
there's a spirit in the spring.
00:09:24.53\00:09:26.16
So all these kinds of things.
00:09:26.16\00:09:27.66
And so now they have in their
birth procedure and beliefs
00:09:27.66\00:09:32.03
there's spirits tied to that
00:09:32.03\00:09:33.77
and you know,
different things like that.
00:09:33.77\00:09:35.84
What's
interesting is I asked them
00:09:35.84\00:09:38.04
is there a lot
of infant mortality.
00:09:38.04\00:09:41.74
- Right.
00:09:41.74\00:09:42.68
- And they said there isn't.
00:09:42.68\00:09:43.91
- They say that
up in the mountains
00:09:43.91\00:09:45.05
hardly any children die.
00:09:45.05\00:09:46.95
The mothers die, but
not so much the children.
00:09:46.95\00:09:50.12
- You mean during childbirth?
00:09:50.12\00:09:51.35
- [John] Yes.
00:09:51.35\00:09:52.35
- Okay.
00:09:52.35\00:09:53.29
- Yeah, that is surprising,
00:09:53.29\00:09:54.92
because it seems like, you know,
00:09:54.92\00:09:56.69
we see situations
where the baby can't come out
00:09:56.69\00:09:59.76
and they have to
cesarean section,
00:09:59.76\00:10:02.03
and yet, these
mothers don't have that.
00:10:02.03\00:10:05.53
- Nope.
00:10:05.53\00:10:06.47
- They don't have that at all.
00:10:06.47\00:10:07.50
- No.
00:10:07.50\00:10:08.77
- Which means
the mother would die,
00:10:08.77\00:10:09.57
and the baby would die.
00:10:09.57\00:10:10.57
- Right, yeah.
00:10:10.57\00:10:12.07
So, but there's no
way to really track
00:10:12.07\00:10:14.28
how many deaths there are
00:10:14.28\00:10:15.78
because it's
all up in the jungle
00:10:15.78\00:10:17.98
and there's no hospitals,
00:10:17.98\00:10:19.31
nobody counting,
and it's all anecdotal.
00:10:19.31\00:10:22.52
And so there's,
we don't really know.
00:10:22.52\00:10:25.05
I imagine that
there's quite a few deaths
00:10:25.05\00:10:27.99
of baby and mother.
00:10:27.99\00:10:30.13
But what's really sad is
how they practice birth control.
00:10:30.13\00:10:33.19
- Yeah.
00:10:33.19\00:10:34.46
- Cause they don't
have birth control,
00:10:34.46\00:10:36.00
and so if they
get too many children,
00:10:36.00\00:10:38.43
well we're gonna find
out more in a future video.
00:10:38.43\00:10:40.84
But right now
we'd like to look at
00:10:40.84\00:10:43.14
when these kids
are born, you know,
00:10:43.14\00:10:45.37
there's no education,
00:10:45.37\00:10:46.91
there's no learning, they
don't even name their kids.
00:10:46.91\00:10:51.61
- Right.
00:10:52.11\00:10:53.35
- And if a kid's
born, then if it's a boy
00:10:53.35\00:10:54.62
they'll call it
boy, and if it's a girl
00:10:54.62\00:10:56.79
they'll call it girl.
00:10:56.79\00:10:57.92
And that's about it.
00:10:58.85\00:11:00.29
And in this
video, Jessica Barolo
00:11:00.29\00:11:01.89
is gonna meet with a
Mangian that's coming
00:11:01.89\00:11:04.03
to visit her for some food.
00:11:04.93\00:11:06.63
And then she's gonna talk about,
00:11:06.63\00:11:09.13
she's actually
gonna give a child a name.
00:11:09.13\00:11:11.77
- Okay, that'll be fun.
00:11:11.77\00:11:12.70
- And the child's father,
00:11:12.70\00:11:13.84
gonna give the
child's father a name.
00:11:13.84\00:11:15.00
- Okay. (soft chuckling)
00:11:15.00\00:11:17.74
(speaking in foreign language)
00:11:17.74\00:11:21.64
- It's their
second time to be here.
00:11:28.42\00:11:31.35
They just here
just last Christmas.
00:11:31.35\00:11:34.69
And they're asking for food
00:11:37.23\00:11:39.66
because the last
time they visited us
00:11:39.66\00:11:42.16
we gave them food.
00:11:42.16\00:11:43.90
So this time
they want again food.
00:11:45.10\00:11:48.57
They've been to,
(speaking in foreign language)
00:11:48.57\00:11:53.54
(speaking in foreign language)
00:12:01.85\00:12:05.75
(speaking in foreign language)
00:12:42.99\00:12:46.93
- Isn't that awesome?
00:14:33.27\00:14:34.34
- Yeah, that's really neat.
00:14:34.34\00:14:36.14
You know, we talk about them,
00:14:36.14\00:14:37.91
or we hear about
them walking two days
00:14:37.91\00:14:40.11
to come to this
place where they know
00:14:40.11\00:14:42.18
that someone
will give them food,
00:14:42.18\00:14:43.45
someone will help them.
00:14:43.45\00:14:44.78
And, that's kind
of another story,
00:14:45.95\00:14:49.35
but we wanna make
sure that we bring out
00:14:49.35\00:14:52.39
that these people are not
cared for members of society.
00:14:52.39\00:14:56.02
They're looked down on
by the majority tribes,
00:14:56.02\00:14:59.59
and it's just really
a tough life for them.
00:14:59.59\00:15:02.56
I mean, they
probably were walking
00:15:02.56\00:15:04.37
along the side of the road
for some of that time, at least,
00:15:04.37\00:15:08.24
and no one would pick them up.
00:15:08.24\00:15:09.77
- Right.
00:15:09.77\00:15:10.71
- Because they don't smell good.
00:15:10.71\00:15:12.14
And if someone picks them up,
00:15:12.14\00:15:13.61
then everyone else
will get out of the vehicle.
00:15:13.61\00:15:16.11
And so it's really sad to think
00:15:16.11\00:15:18.68
about the way we are as humans
00:15:18.68\00:15:20.68
and how we tend to
do that to other people
00:15:20.68\00:15:23.02
that aren't as
fortunate as we are.
00:15:23.02\00:15:24.69
- That's correct.
00:15:24.69\00:15:25.69
Yeah.
00:15:25.69\00:15:26.86
I love how God
brings in identity.
00:15:26.86\00:15:29.16
- Right.
00:15:29.16\00:15:30.33
- And brings in
value to individuals.
00:15:30.33\00:15:32.26
- Right.
00:15:32.26\00:15:33.76
- I love how he's put
the burden for these people
00:15:33.76\00:15:35.20
into the Barolo's hearts.
00:15:35.20\00:15:37.50
- Yes.
00:15:37.50\00:15:38.43
- And makes such a big impact.
00:15:38.43\00:15:40.00
- Right, you can tell.
00:15:40.00\00:15:41.24
I love that they
named him Daniel.
00:15:41.24\00:15:42.57
- Yeah.
00:15:42.57\00:15:43.51
- [Natalie] That's so awesome.
00:15:43.51\00:15:44.97
- Yeah, and it sounds
like the father didn't have
00:15:44.97\00:15:46.51
a name either because
they named him Daniel's Father.
00:15:46.51\00:15:48.34
- Yeah. (soft chuckling)
00:15:48.34\00:15:50.65
Which is fun.
00:15:50.65\00:15:51.65
- Yeah, it is, for sure.
00:15:51.65\00:15:53.38
- As we talked about earlier,
00:15:54.38\00:15:56.28
we have a Bible
worker in this village.
00:15:56.28\00:15:58.35
Actually we have
two Bible workers,
00:15:58.35\00:15:59.72
and they're a married couple.
00:15:59.72\00:16:01.12
- Uh huh.
00:16:01.12\00:16:02.06
- Now, and, one of them, Abar,
00:16:02.06\00:16:04.39
we had mentioned was in
the video that we made before
00:16:04.39\00:16:07.60
about the angel
that wore the G-string
00:16:07.60\00:16:10.07
to save the
lives of the children
00:16:10.07\00:16:11.87
that stood up for God.
00:16:11.87\00:16:14.10
Actually, they got baptized
and they were gonna be punished.
00:16:14.10\00:16:19.04
And so Abar, I
don't know if people
00:16:19.04\00:16:21.58
will recognize
him from that video,
00:16:21.58\00:16:23.18
cause he wasn't
in a long part of it,
00:16:23.18\00:16:25.55
but he's in that video,
00:16:25.55\00:16:27.08
and then also people
might remember his wife, Mercy,
00:16:27.08\00:16:29.28
from the video
where she talked about
00:16:29.28\00:16:32.05
them only having one toothbrush,
00:16:32.05\00:16:34.36
and sharing the
toothbrush among 30.
00:16:34.36\00:16:36.89
or how many ever of them it was.
00:16:36.89\00:16:38.69
- I think that was the
first video that we shared.
00:16:38.69\00:16:41.60
- Student summer
canvassing program,
00:16:41.60\00:16:45.57
(speaking in foreign language)
00:16:45.57\00:16:49.47
and then joined some missionary.
00:16:51.07\00:16:54.44
(speaking in foreign language)
00:16:58.35\00:17:02.28
(speaking in foreign language)
00:17:11.09\00:17:15.00
- I think that
was the first video
00:17:50.40\00:17:51.37
here on the JFA now show.
00:17:51.37\00:17:54.10
- Right, right.
00:17:54.10\00:17:55.57
So the other thing is
that both of these people
00:17:55.57\00:17:57.74
have health challenges,
00:17:57.74\00:17:58.91
and they talk a
little bit about that
00:17:58.91\00:18:00.44
in these videos, but I
just wanted to set this up
00:18:00.44\00:18:02.64
because he is
actually losing his eyesight,
00:18:02.64\00:18:05.35
he's mostly blind,
from what I understand,
00:18:05.35\00:18:08.12
and Mercy has some
sort of heart problem,
00:18:08.12\00:18:10.85
and I know they took her
to the doctor at one point,
00:18:10.85\00:18:13.32
but I'm pretty sure
they didn't have the funds
00:18:13.32\00:18:16.19
to do whatever was necessary,
00:18:16.19\00:18:18.19
or nothing could be done,
00:18:18.19\00:18:19.43
I'm not sure
what the answer was.
00:18:19.43\00:18:21.16
But she has some
sort of heart problem.
00:18:21.16\00:18:23.37
If you watch
closely, you can see her
00:18:23.37\00:18:25.47
heart beats in her throat.
00:18:25.47\00:18:28.10
- Yeah, there's
a little-- - Yeah.
00:18:28.10\00:18:29.74
- Thing happening there.
00:18:29.74\00:18:30.97
- So, anyway, I just
wanted to mention that
00:18:30.97\00:18:32.77
because we wanna think about
the reality that they live in.
00:18:32.77\00:18:37.65
- Mhm.
00:18:37.65\00:18:38.58
- So what is this next video?
00:18:38.58\00:18:40.62
- In this video, the
story kind of flows out of this
00:18:40.62\00:18:43.82
situation where the people,
00:18:45.79\00:18:49.09
they have a hard time
supporting their kids,
00:18:49.09\00:18:50.63
so they can't just go
down to the store and buy food,
00:18:50.63\00:18:52.86
they can't, you know,
just get a better job,
00:18:52.86\00:18:55.53
or something like
that, they have to work
00:18:55.53\00:18:57.63
for each person's
food for that day.
00:18:57.63\00:19:01.77
And so the parents
will leave at five o'clock
00:19:01.77\00:19:04.51
in the morning, so
you got five year olds
00:19:04.51\00:19:06.07
taking care of two
year olds all day long
00:19:06.07\00:19:09.34
while the parents
are out foraging for food
00:19:09.34\00:19:11.21
so they can find a
root or some kind of
00:19:11.21\00:19:14.22
vegetable, or
fruit in the forest,
00:19:14.22\00:19:15.68
whatever they can find,
00:19:15.68\00:19:16.92
and they fix that for
the supper that evening.
00:19:16.92\00:19:19.95
- Right.
00:19:19.95\00:19:21.49
- And so the kids basically
have no breakfast or lunch,
00:19:21.49\00:19:23.02
and if the
parents are successful,
00:19:23.02\00:19:24.36
so, then they can eat dinner.
00:19:24.36\00:19:26.16
But what happens is
if they get too many kids
00:19:26.16\00:19:30.37
they can't
support that many kids.
00:19:30.37\00:19:32.70
- Right.
00:19:32.70\00:19:34.14
- And so the solution is
just to end the child's life.
00:19:34.14\00:19:36.91
And so this happens more
times than we care to admit,
00:19:36.91\00:19:41.91
or, you know, I don't know
how many times this happens,
00:19:43.35\00:19:45.15
but it's a
pretty common practice.
00:19:45.15\00:19:47.15
- Right.
00:19:47.15\00:19:48.32
- So the
background of this video
00:19:48.32\00:19:49.55
is Abar was
married to his first wife,
00:19:49.55\00:19:53.72
and she died in child birth,
00:19:53.72\00:19:55.36
and his father killed his baby
00:19:56.22\00:19:58.69
because the family
couldn't support another child.
00:19:58.69\00:20:01.73
- Wow.
00:20:03.06\00:20:04.27
- Yeah, and this is
the hard, cold reality.
00:20:04.27\00:20:07.60
You know, they can't
just go out and get a job,
00:20:07.60\00:20:09.50
a better job,
and get more money,
00:20:09.50\00:20:11.84
you know, there's
no healthcare system.
00:20:11.84\00:20:15.08
- Right.
00:20:15.08\00:20:16.31
Now, I wanna
mention, because he wouldn't
00:20:16.31\00:20:18.71
have access to baby formula.
00:20:18.71\00:20:20.65
- Right.
00:20:20.65\00:20:21.85
- To feed the
child either. - Yeah.
00:20:21.85\00:20:23.32
- And, we'll
notice in this video
00:20:23.32\00:20:25.69
that Mercy actually
is using baby formula,
00:20:25.69\00:20:28.56
and that's
because of the Barolos,
00:20:28.56\00:20:30.49
because they have access to that
00:20:30.49\00:20:32.09
and they can bring it
to them in the mountains.
00:20:32.09\00:20:33.93
- That's correct.
00:20:33.93\00:20:35.16
- So let's go ahead
and watch that video.
00:20:35.16\00:20:37.20
- [John] Yes.
00:20:37.20\00:20:38.23
(speaking in foreign language)
00:20:42.27\00:20:46.14
(singing in foreign language)
00:23:38.18\00:23:42.02
(speaking in foreign language)
00:23:53.13\00:23:57.03
- What a beautiful
picture of the love of God.
00:25:04.07\00:25:06.37
- Oh man, yeah,
00:25:06.37\00:25:07.60
and that baby, you know, wow.
00:25:07.60\00:25:11.07
They saved a life.
00:25:11.07\00:25:12.71
But they weren't
sure they'd be able to
00:25:12.71\00:25:14.38
feed it and take care of it.
00:25:14.38\00:25:16.31
- Right.
00:25:16.31\00:25:17.25
- They're still very poor.
00:25:17.25\00:25:18.48
But they think
that they can find out.
00:25:18.48\00:25:21.32
- I think that
God will help them.
00:25:21.32\00:25:22.95
Because it's an opening door,
00:25:22.95\00:25:25.19
I mean, we don't
even think about,
00:25:25.19\00:25:27.16
they had no idea that
this would cause that family
00:25:27.16\00:25:30.69
to want to be close to
them because they saw them care
00:25:30.69\00:25:34.60
for someone that
didn't belong to them.
00:25:34.60\00:25:36.06
I mean, it's not their child.
00:25:36.06\00:25:37.87
- [John] Right.
00:25:37.87\00:25:39.13
- But they're
taking it as though it is.
00:25:39.13\00:25:39.90
- Yeah.
00:25:39.90\00:25:41.27
- That's really
beautiful picture of God.
00:25:41.27\00:25:42.70
- And I love what
he said at the end,
00:25:42.70\00:25:43.94
he says maybe this is
the reason for our life.
00:25:43.94\00:25:47.38
And maybe that's their calling
00:25:47.38\00:25:49.91
is to be
parents to many children
00:25:49.91\00:25:52.21
that would have died otherwise.
00:25:52.21\00:25:54.48
- Yeah.
00:25:54.48\00:25:56.05
- Well see what God does?
00:25:56.05\00:25:57.15
- [John] Yeah.
00:25:57.15\00:25:58.52
- He has started
a beautiful story.
00:25:58.52\00:25:59.59
- Yes, he has.
00:25:59.59\00:26:00.46
- And is continuing it.
00:26:00.46\00:26:01.72
- Yeah, for sure.
00:26:01.72\00:26:03.16
That's one of the
challenges that we see right now
00:26:03.16\00:26:05.79
is getting the
supplies into those villages.
00:26:05.79\00:26:09.63
- Right.
00:26:09.63\00:26:10.50
I mean, it's--
00:26:10.50\00:26:12.13
- We tried, we walked to
the closest village, didn't we?
00:26:12.13\00:26:15.10
- Right.
00:26:15.10\00:26:15.94
- And we almost died.
00:26:15.94\00:26:17.04
(light chuckling) - Yeah.
00:26:17.04\00:26:18.51
And we had them get a
horse and try using the horse,
00:26:18.51\00:26:20.18
but the horse
couldn't even make the trails.
00:26:20.18\00:26:22.54
- Yeah, yeah.
00:26:22.54\00:26:24.05
So everything has to go
from the base of the mountain,
00:26:24.05\00:26:25.28
to the villages by foot.
00:26:25.28\00:26:27.02
- Right.
00:26:27.02\00:26:28.25
- Which is a lot
of work for them.
00:26:28.25\00:26:29.78
- Yeah.
00:26:29.78\00:26:31.02
- But since we
started the feeding program
00:26:31.02\00:26:32.29
for the children in the village,
00:26:32.29\00:26:33.79
you know, they regularly
are climbing the mountain
00:26:33.79\00:26:36.12
with rice, and with vegetables,
00:26:36.12\00:26:38.43
and various
things that they need.
00:26:38.43\00:26:40.43
The problem comes
with getting all the food
00:26:40.43\00:26:43.43
to the base of the mountains.
00:26:43.43\00:26:44.93
- Right.
00:26:44.93\00:26:46.13
- Because the
vehicle the Barolos have,
00:26:46.13\00:26:48.50
you might have seen it
in the video behind Jessica,
00:26:48.50\00:26:51.34
is broken down. - Right.
00:26:51.34\00:26:52.67
- And is broken so thoroughly
00:26:52.67\00:26:54.24
that they don't
think it's repairable.
00:26:54.24\00:26:56.58
And they've been told
not to bother repairing.
00:26:56.58\00:27:00.32
So they need a new vehicle.
00:27:00.32\00:27:01.78
- That's correct, yeah.
00:27:01.78\00:27:03.25
They need a vehicle
where they can carry people,
00:27:03.25\00:27:05.59
transport people,
transport food, supplies,
00:27:05.59\00:27:08.09
everything that they need to do.
00:27:08.09\00:27:09.32
Right now
they're riding bicycles.
00:27:09.32\00:27:11.93
- Hello, brother
John, sister Natalie,
00:27:11.93\00:27:14.36
JFA family, we just finished
today a crusade from the tribe
00:27:14.36\00:27:18.73
from a community, and
another community is requesting
00:27:18.73\00:27:21.94
for evangelistic needings.
00:27:21.94\00:27:24.87
So many requests, so
thank you very much brethren,
00:27:24.87\00:27:29.88
the Lord is working.
00:27:30.68\00:27:32.05
- It's hard to
carry a lot on a bicycle.
00:27:32.05\00:27:34.25
- Right, yeah.
00:27:34.25\00:27:35.58
- So that's what
we're praying for right now.
00:27:35.58\00:27:37.82
- Right.
00:27:37.82\00:27:39.05
I would like to
invite you to pray with us
