Laymen
Ministries have been working
00:00:29.68\00:00:30.87
in Philippines
for around 15 years.
00:00:30.90\00:00:33.28
We would like to take
you to the Philippines
00:00:33.31\00:00:34.54
so you could see what
it's like to be a missionary.
00:00:34.57\00:00:36.66
In fact, just
about this time of day
00:00:36.69\00:00:38.36
they would be just
getting out of bed.
00:00:38.39\00:00:39.86
My name is Joel Marshall,
we're here in Agbalite.
00:00:53.50\00:00:57.23
The first thing
that I do in the day
00:00:57.26\00:00:58.83
is when I wake up,
00:00:58.86\00:01:00.26
whenever God
wakes me up is pray.
00:01:00.29\00:01:03.87
This morning because
God woke me up very early
00:01:03.90\00:01:07.19
I had time to study the Bible.
00:01:07.22\00:01:09.41
My studies at the
moment are on Hebrews.
00:01:09.44\00:01:11.80
I was studying Hebrew Chapter 7.
00:01:11.83\00:01:14.21
And the purpose of the chapter
00:01:14.24\00:01:16.36
is to prove that the Levitical
priesthood was only temporary
00:01:16.39\00:01:22.87
and that Jesus Christ
is the new high priest
00:01:22.90\00:01:28.07
of a better sanctuary in
heaven based on better promises.
00:01:28.10\00:01:34.01
My name is Jim Webb
and for the last 11 years
00:01:46.45\00:01:50.05
I've had the privilege
of being the administrator
00:01:50.08\00:01:53.49
of Laymen Ministries here in
Mamburao, Occidental Mindoro.
00:01:53.52\00:01:57.55
Normally I get up in
the morning about 4:45.
00:01:57.58\00:02:01.20
For the last 26 years my
wife and I drink in the mornings
00:02:01.23\00:02:05.79
very first thing a
glass of lemon juice.
00:02:05.82\00:02:09.39
We have learned that,
00:02:09.42\00:02:10.45
that has a very cleansing
effect inside the body.
00:02:10.48\00:02:14.34
It's an excellent
way to start the day.
00:02:14.37\00:02:18.05
So after getting
up in the morning
00:02:18.08\00:02:20.53
I do basic necessities
00:02:20.56\00:02:23.31
and normally we
have a staff prayer.
00:02:23.34\00:02:25.62
My name is Robert Francis
00:02:36.41\00:02:38.38
and I'm from
Berrien Springs, Michigan,
00:02:38.41\00:02:40.96
and we are in the village
00:02:40.99\00:02:42.23
of Binuangan here
in the Philippines.
00:02:42.26\00:02:46.96
I wake up around
4:30 or 5 o'clock
00:02:46.99\00:02:50.12
in the morning every day.
00:02:50.15\00:02:51.99
To start I just
get up out of bed
00:02:52.02\00:02:55.66
after that I take a
few moments to pray,
00:02:55.69\00:02:58.58
ask God to guide
me during the day
00:02:58.61\00:03:00.84
and then I wake up my student
00:03:00.87\00:03:03.25
who lives with me,
Manny from grade three
00:03:03.28\00:03:05.62
and we worship together.
00:03:05.65\00:03:09.03
My name is Mhae Madriaga
00:03:23.90\00:03:27.54
and I'm here in the Pinagbyanan
as missionary teacher.
00:03:27.57\00:03:30.71
I usually get up in
the morning at five.
00:03:30.74\00:03:33.29
When I wake up in the
morning first things then doing
00:03:33.32\00:03:37.63
is kneel down in
prayer, talk to God.
00:03:37.66\00:03:40.92
I have been a
missionary here in Pinagbyanan
00:03:40.95\00:03:43.72
for one year and
almost six months.
00:03:43.75\00:03:46.05
Then after that I cook, we cook.
00:03:46.08\00:03:48.95
I my companion here
00:03:48.98\00:03:51.05
and after that we
will have worship.
00:03:51.08\00:03:56.41
Yeah, our topic this morning
00:03:56.44\00:03:58.24
when we had our worship is
it's about the wonders of God.
00:03:58.27\00:04:03.71
Why do the fish
float upside down
00:04:03.74\00:04:05.97
when they die?
Why do we earlobes?
00:04:06.00\00:04:12.06
Throughout the
week for breakfast
00:04:12.09\00:04:14.32
we eat oat meal, we
add little granola to it,
00:04:14.35\00:04:19.75
we are very fortunate to
have raisins and almonds,
00:04:19.78\00:04:22.70
whole wheat bread
with sunflower seed
00:04:22.73\00:04:25.84
and of course, first fruit.
00:04:25.87\00:04:27.58
Here in the mission house
00:04:27.61\00:04:29.53
we live as a family in
addition to my wife Moni,
00:04:29.56\00:04:34.33
our coworkers Joe
and Allen Beasley,
00:04:34.36\00:04:36.71
we have four
high school students.
00:04:36.74\00:04:40.24
And then after break fast
00:04:40.27\00:04:41.76
I have some time to have
some private devotional time.
00:04:41.79\00:04:46.11
This morning
during our staff worship
00:04:46.14\00:04:49.14
we studied the
topic about the gift
00:04:49.17\00:04:52.85
or the fruit of self-control
00:04:52.88\00:04:54.45
which is one of the
fruits of the spirit.
00:04:54.48\00:04:57.44
We learned that it's probably
one of the most important fruit
00:04:57.47\00:05:01.32
even though it's mentioned last.
00:05:01.35\00:05:03.20
If you don't have self-control
00:05:03.23\00:05:05.35
you cannot really be used by God
00:05:05.38\00:05:07.98
because you have no ability
to really control yourself.
00:05:08.01\00:05:13.30
You are just kind of
doing whatever you want,
00:05:13.33\00:05:16.59
whatever feels good to you
00:05:16.62\00:05:17.96
and that's a very easy
way for Satan to control you.
00:05:17.99\00:05:25.08
We usually have a
morning devotion together,
00:05:25.11\00:05:27.71
group devotion
between the teachers.
00:05:27.74\00:05:30.00
I have studied this
morning self-righteousness
00:05:30.03\00:05:34.96
and the Pharisees religion
was their unrighteousness.
00:05:34.99\00:05:40.14
You did not
understand that there is a need
00:05:40.17\00:05:43.11
for a righteousness
outside themselves.
00:05:43.14\00:05:47.22
But true
Christians do not go back
00:05:47.25\00:05:49.93
to establish
their own righteousness
00:05:49.96\00:05:51.57
they receive the
righteousness of Christ
00:05:51.60\00:05:54.00
and it transforms their
life into likeness of Christ.
00:05:54.03\00:05:58.53
My breakfast
very simple in fact,
00:06:02.97\00:06:05.98
I only cook once a day
00:06:06.01\00:06:08.02
and so my breakfast
and lunch are the same.
00:06:08.05\00:06:12.94
I had rice and white
beans with a leaf called bago.
00:06:12.97\00:06:19.84
This morning I was studying
the Sabbath school lesson,
00:06:19.87\00:06:23.65
bottom line is if we know
00:06:23.68\00:06:27.78
that we know
Him then we obey Him
00:06:27.81\00:06:31.08
and when we obey we have joy.
00:06:31.11\00:06:34.83
When I first became a Christian
00:06:34.86\00:06:36.81
I thought that I want to obey it
00:06:36.84\00:06:40.60
by having a strong will
00:06:40.63\00:06:44.40
and I did,
except there was no joy.
00:06:44.43\00:06:47.94
Once I learned
to obey out of love
00:06:47.97\00:06:51.93
and because of the
love that Christ has for me
00:06:51.96\00:06:55.64
then there was no
burden on my shoulders
00:06:55.67\00:06:59.37
and I was able
to experience joy.
00:06:59.40\00:07:05.05
If you get as
much done as possible,
00:07:05.08\00:07:07.77
so let's stand up for the prayer
00:07:07.80\00:07:09.64
and then let's get start class.
00:07:09.67\00:07:11.12
That our topic this time,
is the devil in charge of hell?
00:07:11.15\00:07:15.04
But what is, what
our topic last time?
00:07:15.07\00:07:19.12
Are the dead really dead? Okay.
00:07:19.15\00:07:22.43
And answer my question,
are the dead really dead?
00:07:22.46\00:07:24.57
Yes.
00:07:24.60\00:07:25.63
This week my grade
two and three students
00:07:25.66\00:07:28.73
and I are
discussing the topic of hell.
00:07:28.76\00:07:32.87
It's a very
important topic that in death,
00:07:32.90\00:07:36.18
because that is
the two topics were
00:07:36.21\00:07:38.77
so many Christians
are confused about.
00:07:38.80\00:07:41.47
So what happened
with dead, they are?
00:07:41.50\00:07:43.70
They're sleeping. Sleeping.
00:07:43.73\00:07:46.25
The Bible calls
the death a sleep.
00:07:46.28\00:07:48.41
How many people are
burning in hell now?
00:07:48.44\00:07:50.16
Thousand.
00:07:50.19\00:07:51.22
Before we came to this village
00:07:51.25\00:07:53.94
the Katutubo
people were animist,
00:07:53.97\00:07:56.77
they believe that
spirits are everywhere,
00:07:56.80\00:08:00.41
in the mountains, in
the trees, in the bushes.
00:08:00.44\00:08:03.79
They won't go
certain places at night,
00:08:03.82\00:08:05.70
they won't go to
certain locations
00:08:05.73\00:08:07.72
because that
spirit might get them
00:08:07.75\00:08:09.45
or that spirit might
do something to them.
00:08:09.48\00:08:11.54
We've discover
that lot of Katutubo now
00:08:11.57\00:08:14.79
who have accepted
00:08:14.82\00:08:16.33
or have some
knowledge of Jesus Christ
00:08:16.36\00:08:18.80
believe that when you die
00:08:18.83\00:08:22.38
you either receive
a eternal punishment
00:08:22.41\00:08:24.47
or if you are good
you go straight to heaven
00:08:24.50\00:08:28.20
because a lot of
the non- Katutubo tribes
00:08:28.23\00:08:31.13
around them
that is their belief.
00:08:31.16\00:08:33.54
Where are dead sinners now?
00:08:33.57\00:08:36.23
They cannot be
burning in help fire
00:08:36.26\00:08:38.10
because one, dead
people do not burn in hell now,
00:08:38.13\00:08:41.72
they are sleeping.
00:08:41.75\00:08:43.42
And two, is it
the end of the world?
00:08:43.45\00:08:46.01
No.
00:08:46.04\00:08:47.07
So of course it's
not yet time for sinners
00:08:47.10\00:08:49.75
to receive final punishment.
00:08:49.78\00:08:53.08
Again it's another form of fear
00:08:53.11\00:08:55.26
because now they are afraid
00:08:55.29\00:08:56.32
that there's a God out
there who's gonna judge you
00:08:56.35\00:08:58.75
and send you packing to the fire
00:08:58.78\00:09:01.67
with all those
the little evil spirit
00:09:01.70\00:09:03.90
when they do something
wrong or they think that
00:09:03.93\00:09:07.00
if they just do
something good enough
00:09:07.03\00:09:09.35
God will send
them straight to heaven
00:09:09.38\00:09:10.88
where they can be happy forever.
00:09:10.91\00:09:13.18
And there is lot confusion
00:09:13.21\00:09:15.64
about what the Bible really
teaches about those topics.
00:09:15.67\00:09:18.71
Let's see what Bible
says, Revelation Chapter 21,
00:09:18.74\00:09:21.97
what is the final result of Sin?
00:09:22.00\00:09:24.75
The wages of kavatayan is what?
00:09:24.78\00:09:28.43
Death. Okay, death.
00:09:28.46\00:09:31.05
It's important
that they understand
00:09:31.08\00:09:34.49
that the dead are not really
00:09:34.52\00:09:37.69
floating around
somewhere waiting to catch you
00:09:37.72\00:09:40.62
when you are not expecting them
00:09:40.65\00:09:42.87
or if you are bad
00:09:42.90\00:09:44.86
you don't go
straight into a fiery pit
00:09:44.89\00:09:47.95
where you can burn for
eternal torment for your sins.
00:09:47.98\00:09:53.45
"For Gods so love the world
00:09:53.48\00:09:54.99
that He gave His only son
00:09:55.02\00:09:57.17
that whoever believes
in Him should not perish
00:09:57.20\00:09:59.69
but have everlasting life."
00:09:59.72\00:10:02.34
It's important
that they know the truth
00:10:02.37\00:10:04.22
that God is a God
of love and even though
00:10:04.25\00:10:06.13
He does punish the
wicked, He does not do it
00:10:06.16\00:10:08.91
because He wants
to see them suffer.
00:10:08.94\00:10:10.94
He gives His Son
Jesus Christ so we will not?
00:10:10.97\00:10:14.59
Die. Die.
00:10:14.62\00:10:17.06
The thing that for
me was so important
00:10:17.09\00:10:19.66
as I brought this
subject to my students
00:10:19.69\00:10:22.38
is that they
would understand that
00:10:22.41\00:10:25.14
this is not
something that happens
00:10:25.17\00:10:27.26
because God is just
unfair, He just picks someone.
00:10:27.29\00:10:31.70
Okay, you're goanna go to hell
or you are goanna go to heaven.
00:10:31.73\00:10:33.97
When you put a book
in the fire what happens?
00:10:34.00\00:10:36.73
It burns up.
00:10:36.76\00:10:37.84
What do you think will
happen with the wicked?
00:10:37.87\00:10:39.89
It's so easy to
be part of the group
00:10:39.92\00:10:43.18
at the second coming
00:10:43.21\00:10:45.30
which have
separated themselves from God
00:10:45.33\00:10:47.90
have been deceived by the devil
00:10:47.93\00:10:50.02
and become angry or
antagonistic towards the
00:10:50.05\00:10:54.31
people who have
God's commandments,
00:10:54.34\00:10:56.89
who have a
relationship with Jesus.
00:10:56.92\00:10:58.99
When the holy city
comes down from God
00:10:59.02\00:11:02.49
out of heaven
on the earth, okay,
00:11:02.52\00:11:06.96
then those who are wicked
00:11:06.99\00:11:09.87
are going to try and hurt
God's people one last time.
00:11:09.90\00:11:14.19
They will surround the city
00:11:14.22\00:11:16.70
and as they are
trying to surround the city
00:11:16.73\00:11:19.33
all of the sudden God
will finally put an end to sin.
00:11:19.36\00:11:25.35
Fire comes out of heaven
and it falls down upon them
00:11:25.38\00:11:29.80
and they are-- what will happen?
00:11:29.83\00:11:33.91
Burned. They are consumed.
00:11:33.94\00:11:35.88
They will lose
their life forever.
00:11:35.91\00:11:40.36
And so once I
wanted to understand
00:11:40.39\00:11:41.55
it's so important that every day
00:11:41.58\00:11:43.42
they make a
decision to serve Jesus,
00:11:43.45\00:11:45.53
to love Him and to
give their lives to Him
00:11:45.56\00:11:48.66
so that and walk step by step
00:11:48.69\00:11:51.81
even though
sometime it's difficult
00:11:51.84\00:11:54.00
because in the end they
will experience that reward
00:11:54.03\00:11:57.89
that He promises that
He will bring with Him
00:11:57.92\00:12:00.35
when He comes
to judge the world.
00:12:00.38\00:12:02.78
I have planned to go
by the mayor's office
00:12:04.98\00:12:08.56
to see if the
mayor is in the town
00:12:08.59\00:12:10.03
I need to speak with him.
00:12:10.06\00:12:12.00
I need to also go to
the providential capital
00:12:12.03\00:12:14.52
to see if the equipment
which we have been promised
00:12:14.55\00:12:19.13
for use in constructing the
road to the high school property
00:12:19.16\00:12:24.10
has been repaired and
will be available soon.
00:12:24.13\00:12:27.04
Thank you.
00:12:33.70\00:12:34.92
When I just
wanted an opportunity
00:12:34.95\00:12:37.53
to meet you and to tell you
00:12:37.56\00:12:41.75
that our organization
is been working here in
00:12:41.78\00:12:44.99
headquarter in
Mamburao for 11 years.
00:12:45.02\00:12:47.36
This will become a Barangay road
00:12:47.39\00:12:50.33
which is basically a county road
00:12:50.36\00:12:52.47
and we need the
support of the mayor
00:12:52.50\00:12:56.19
to make sure
everything goes through
00:12:56.22\00:12:58.79
the bureaucratic
system efficiently.
00:12:58.82\00:13:02.10
That the works to
be undertaken must
00:13:02.13\00:13:05.33
have all the necessary
permits with our records.
00:13:05.36\00:13:09.09
Okay, well--
00:13:09.12\00:13:10.15
Its not-- I know in
the past it was very...
00:13:10.18\00:13:14.73
but we've encounter
so many problems now
00:13:14.76\00:13:17.03
with those kinds of systems.
00:13:17.06\00:13:18.46
Yes, sir.
00:13:18.49\00:13:19.52
And Pastor, I
hope you understand.
00:13:19.55\00:13:22.12
I would, sir,
00:13:22.15\00:13:25.45
ask please help me
expedite the things
00:13:25.48\00:13:28.83
because I'm literally
ready to start digging dirt.
00:13:28.86\00:13:33.13
Okay, so... He required
copy of all of our deeds,
00:13:33.16\00:13:37.66
the release of lean
across all the property.
00:13:37.69\00:13:41.73
He wanted a complete
00:13:41.76\00:13:44.57
layout of the
development of the property.
00:13:44.60\00:13:48.13
The paper work I
could just in my minds
00:13:48.16\00:13:50.23
seeing getting
thicker and thicker.
00:13:50.26\00:13:52.29
We will see weather or
not this gets the job done.
00:13:52.32\00:13:58.02
Yeah, for the last three weeks
00:13:58.05\00:14:00.60
we've been studying
the topic of marriage,
00:14:00.63\00:14:03.42
it teachers us
so much about Christ
00:14:03.45\00:14:06.68
and His
relationship with the church.
00:14:06.71\00:14:09.56
Firstly it teaches
us about the godhead,
00:14:09.59\00:14:14.36
they work
together with one purpose.
00:14:14.39\00:14:16.51
Father creates
anything without Jesus?
00:14:16.54\00:14:19.32
No, the Bible is clear.
00:14:19.35\00:14:20.55
Did Jesus create
anything without the Father?
00:14:20.58\00:14:24.31
No.
00:14:24.34\00:14:25.37
Can man create by himself?
00:14:25.40\00:14:29.62
No.
00:14:29.65\00:14:30.68
Can woman create by herself?
00:14:30.71\00:14:33.98
No.
00:14:34.01\00:14:35.06
Only together is an
example of the godhead.
00:14:35.09\00:14:38.36
Christ bride is His church
00:14:38.39\00:14:40.99
and His purpose is to
be one with His church
00:14:41.02\00:14:44.74
just as Adam must
have been one with Eve.
00:14:44.77\00:14:48.42
He had to make or
originate righteousness
00:14:48.45\00:14:53.23
for His bride which
is the wedding garment.
00:14:53.26\00:14:56.84
So, day by day
Jesus was weaving out
00:14:56.87\00:15:01.75
a perfect robe of
righteousness in men.
00:15:01.78\00:15:05.22
Secondly, He died for our sins
00:15:05.25\00:15:08.43
that was taking
out filthy garment.
00:15:08.46\00:15:10.84
Then thirdly, He gives His bride
00:15:10.87\00:15:14.75
His own righteousness
00:15:14.78\00:15:16.49
so that she is just like Him.
00:15:16.52\00:15:19.01
And He says just like Adam,
00:15:19.04\00:15:21.12
this is now burn of my
burns and flesh of my flesh,
00:15:21.15\00:15:25.26
meaning that
she is just like me.
00:15:25.29\00:15:28.60
In Christ I am
prefixed the church
00:15:28.63\00:15:31.83
through His own righteousness
00:15:31.86\00:15:33.52
so that He can say that honestly
00:15:33.55\00:15:35.62
she is just like me
and now we can be one.
00:15:35.65\00:15:38.75
You might think that teaching
00:15:38.78\00:15:40.67
grade six students
about marriage is strange
00:15:40.70\00:15:42.71
but here my grade six students
00:15:42.74\00:15:45.76
are at the age for
marriage in this culture.
00:15:45.79\00:15:48.87
In order to have happy marriage
00:15:48.90\00:15:51.71
we need to
follow the right recipe
00:15:51.74\00:15:53.93
that God gives us in His word.
00:15:53.96\00:15:55.82
That's being good study.
00:15:55.85\00:15:57.36
Five minutes late, yeah,
00:16:07.31\00:16:09.72
I think I need
to switch the time
00:16:09.75\00:16:12.39
that I got that from
the clock of Monjunis
00:16:12.42\00:16:14.92
and I think her clock
is a little bit behind.
00:16:14.95\00:16:18.53
And then I we're just
going to eat really quickly
00:16:18.56\00:16:21.82
because it's almost
time for after noon classes.
00:16:21.85\00:16:24.92
For lunch we prepared tofu
00:16:24.95\00:16:30.04
and we fried it and we
added some string beans.
00:16:30.07\00:16:34.19
It's very flat don't you think?
00:16:34.22\00:16:35.85
Wow, God's people are
doing stuff all over the world,
00:16:41.43\00:16:44.29
what an amazing stuff.
00:16:44.32\00:16:45.57
Yeah.
00:16:45.60\00:16:46.71
We spend a lot of time watching
00:16:46.74\00:16:48.86
Laymen
Ministries' video on Vanuatu.
00:16:48.89\00:16:53.11
Yes, it's already
1:30, you better go now.
00:16:58.01\00:17:00.57
I got the
opportunity to see the DVD
00:17:00.60\00:17:02.39
that's why we were late to cook.
00:17:02.42\00:17:04.39
The last lunch many but
this always break time right.
00:17:04.42\00:17:07.81
We better have
enough time to cook,
00:17:07.84\00:17:09.18
we really didn't have
any time to eat at all.
00:17:09.21\00:17:11.28
Here in the Philippines
00:17:14.79\00:17:16.43
specifically in
Occidental Mindoro
00:17:16.46\00:17:18.52
we have been working
for about 12 years now
00:17:18.55\00:17:22.36
with a native tribe Katutubo
00:17:22.39\00:17:26.26
they are called
here meaning native
00:17:26.29\00:17:29.94
and these people
are among the most
00:17:29.97\00:17:32.65
primitive people in the world.
00:17:32.68\00:17:35.04
They are very blessed to have
00:17:40.70\00:17:43.43
four operating
predated elementary schools
00:17:43.46\00:17:47.22
and as these
students come along,
00:17:47.25\00:17:50.41
we cannot send them
to the public school
00:17:50.44\00:17:52.95
because of prejudice
and low quality education.
00:17:52.98\00:17:57.51
Laymen Ministries has found that
00:17:57.54\00:17:59.43
we need to have our own
high school academy here
00:17:59.46\00:18:03.34
and it has to be
a working academy.
00:18:03.37\00:18:05.62
And we find that,
that follows the council
00:18:05.65\00:18:08.01
that we have been given also
00:18:08.04\00:18:09.76
because our
ultimate goal here is to
00:18:09.79\00:18:13.32
improve the life of
people, educate them,
00:18:13.35\00:18:16.66
bring them to
knowledge of Jesus Christ
00:18:16.69\00:18:19.20
and then these students
that we are working with
00:18:19.23\00:18:22.64
through high school
and latter through college
00:18:22.67\00:18:25.34
will go back and
become missionaries
00:18:25.37\00:18:27.76
for their own people.
00:18:27.79\00:18:28.89
There and comes through
here, you see I left is open,
00:18:28.92\00:18:32.22
I didn't plant to it.
00:18:32.25\00:18:34.62
This morning we have hiked
up to the top of the school,
00:18:34.65\00:18:37.90
the high school property.
00:18:37.93\00:18:39.12
The school owns this ridge
line which is about 75 acres.
00:18:39.15\00:18:44.06
Owning property free
clear title in the Philippines
00:18:44.09\00:18:48.69
is extremely difficult.
00:18:48.72\00:18:50.59
And many people
said it's impossible
00:18:50.62\00:18:52.71
you cannot do it.
00:18:52.74\00:18:54.12
Well, God kept opening doors
00:18:54.15\00:18:56.71
and we are now
standing on about 75 acres
00:18:56.74\00:18:59.81
that Laymen
Ministries owns free and clear.
00:18:59.84\00:19:03.90
We want our
students to have a peaceful,
00:19:03.93\00:19:07.22
calm environment
in order to study.
00:19:07.25\00:19:10.95
Initially we are going
to put up a duplex here
00:19:10.98\00:19:14.28
so we can live here
and have an office here.
00:19:14.31\00:19:19.53
Of course, we have to
think of administration
00:19:19.56\00:19:22.04
and school rooms
00:19:22.07\00:19:23.44
and then dormitories
there for the students.
00:19:23.47\00:19:26.61
So just eat the
flesh around the seed.
00:19:31.76\00:19:34.11
The main octagon shape building
00:19:34.14\00:19:37.24
will have class
rooms on the outside wall,
00:19:37.27\00:19:41.18
a circular hallway inside
00:19:41.21\00:19:45.73
and then in the center cluster
00:19:45.76\00:19:48.66
will be an area
for offices and library
00:19:48.69\00:19:52.15
and may be a computer
rooms that kind of thing.
00:19:52.18\00:19:58.40
We have friends in the US
00:19:58.43\00:20:00.33
who are putting together
a container of donated items
00:20:00.36\00:20:05.80
which will be sent directly here
00:20:05.83\00:20:08.96
specifically for
use for the high school
00:20:08.99\00:20:11.64
and it's a big list,
00:20:11.67\00:20:12.93
it's every thing
from spiritual books
00:20:12.96\00:20:15.63
to school desk to stainless
steel sinks to tractors.
00:20:15.66\00:20:21.44
We are very remote
here, we're off grid
00:20:21.47\00:20:24.84
and it's very expensive
to bring electricity to here.
00:20:24.87\00:20:28.53
You have a wind
generator, we can use it.
00:20:28.56\00:20:30.76
You have solar
panels, we can use them.
00:20:30.79\00:20:34.39
If you would like to be
involved in this project
00:20:34.42\00:20:36.86
contact Laymen Ministries
00:20:36.89\00:20:38.67
and they will tell
you the kind of the things
00:20:38.70\00:20:40.75
that we need
00:20:40.78\00:20:42.58
and they will
get in touch with us
00:20:42.61\00:20:45.34
to see if we could use it.
00:20:45.37\00:20:47.22
They can tell you
how to get the product
00:20:47.25\00:20:50.32
to location in California
00:20:50.35\00:20:52.58
where it will be
packaged and then shipped.
00:20:52.61\00:20:55.29
And we will
appreciate your help very much.
00:20:55.32\00:20:57.11
Because the
Israelites were here and then
00:20:57.14\00:20:59.29
what is their
problem? They can't?
00:20:59.32\00:21:04.28
They can't pass
in the Jordon River.
00:21:04.31\00:21:06.05
Why?
00:21:06.08\00:21:07.11
It really fascinates me
special in the part when
00:21:07.14\00:21:10.43
it says there
that when the people
00:21:10.46\00:21:13.19
like the Canaanites
heard the story about
00:21:13.22\00:21:15.95
how God had lead them
00:21:15.98\00:21:17.34
in passing
through the Jordon River.
00:21:17.37\00:21:21.24
The Israelites...
00:21:21.27\00:21:23.40
Follow in the pass.
00:21:23.43\00:21:25.91
They scramble, they
were afraid of you know,
00:21:25.94\00:21:29.16
who really the God
was of the Israelites.
00:21:29.19\00:21:31.77
I think that story
would help other students
00:21:31.80\00:21:34.60
to know that the God that
we are serving is the real God.
00:21:34.63\00:21:39.06
And this week we
have our weekly prayer.
00:21:39.09\00:21:41.36
We are having--
00:21:41.39\00:21:43.25
we have Tito Joe with us
00:21:43.28\00:21:45.08
and he's the one who is speaking
00:21:45.11\00:21:47.21
every afternoon.
00:21:47.24\00:21:48.49
He is sharing with us
00:21:48.52\00:21:49.98
on the journey
going to the Promise Land.
00:21:50.01\00:21:52.97
Jericho just did what? Bend.
00:21:53.00\00:21:56.50
Lying down right to the ground.
00:21:56.53\00:21:59.02
This week we are
talking about Joshua
00:21:59.05\00:22:01.52
and the entering
into the Promise Land
00:22:01.55\00:22:04.12
and then the
teachers take it from there.
00:22:04.15\00:22:06.97
They take the story each day
00:22:07.00\00:22:09.95
and they discuss the meanings
00:22:09.98\00:22:11.77
according to the
level of understanding,
00:22:11.80\00:22:14.00
first grade, second
grade so on up the way.
00:22:14.03\00:22:17.72
And what is in this
thing, what is in there?
00:22:17.75\00:22:23.22
The Ten Commandments.
00:22:23.25\00:22:25.19
What is the Ten Commandments?
00:22:25.22\00:22:26.30
What is written in
the Ten Commandments?
00:22:26.33\00:22:28.29
And we were praying that
00:22:28.32\00:22:31.05
we can comprehend how
00:22:31.08\00:22:34.60
God is working with Israelites
and descend with them.
00:22:34.63\00:22:37.42
It said no man will be
able to stand before you.
00:22:37.45\00:22:40.41
What happened?
00:22:40.44\00:22:43.82
They ran.
00:22:43.85\00:22:45.69
What happen to the promise?
00:22:45.72\00:22:47.30
This afternoon we're
talking about the topic of Achan
00:22:47.33\00:22:53.81
as he is unfaithful and steals
00:22:53.84\00:22:57.11
what's not supposed to be his.
00:22:57.14\00:22:59.87
I mean he hides it in his tent
00:22:59.90\00:23:01.97
and the consequences of that
00:23:02.00\00:23:03.95
and we are going to look at
00:23:03.98\00:23:06.05
those different
principles tonight to see
00:23:06.08\00:23:09.90
what went wrong.
00:23:09.93\00:23:10.98
Now let's get nice sleep.
00:23:24.46\00:23:27.28
And no one will
ever know about the gold.
00:23:27.31\00:23:32.60
But He will knew about the gold.
00:23:32.63\00:23:35.40
God knew about the gold.
00:23:35.43\00:23:38.63
So what it is, is to help
lift up spiritual understanding
00:23:38.66\00:23:43.18
and to excites spiritual growth
00:23:43.21\00:23:45.49
and it's been
really a lot of fun
00:23:45.52\00:23:48.25
delivering the message
of Joshua this last week.
00:23:48.28\00:23:51.94
It's about 8:30,
00:23:57.10\00:24:00.22
it's time for prayer
to finish up the day.
00:24:00.25\00:24:06.10
Free time.
00:24:06.13\00:24:07.16
We just ended our weekly prayer,
00:24:19.46\00:24:22.07
eating we done
and let the chair spin
00:24:22.10\00:24:24.19
and now its time to go to bed.
00:24:24.22\00:24:29.12
Afterwards meeting with Joe
00:24:36.36\00:24:38.23
and doing some
planning for the next day.
00:24:38.26\00:24:41.75
I was extremely
fortunate before 10 o'clock
00:24:41.78\00:24:45.98
to be able to go to bed.
00:24:46.01\00:24:48.19
What I have experienced here
in the mission field is that
00:24:53.17\00:24:56.85
God takes you where you are.
00:24:56.88\00:24:59.01
He doesn't hold out
an unreachable standard.
00:24:59.04\00:25:02.20
His standards are high
00:25:02.23\00:25:03.91
but He takes you
step by step upwards
00:25:03.94\00:25:06.88
to the high standard that He has
00:25:06.91\00:25:09.55
and He empowers you to do it.
00:25:09.58\00:25:11.59
What I've have learned is that
00:25:11.62\00:25:13.65
if you are
faithful in just small thing
00:25:13.68\00:25:17.48
then God will develop you
00:25:17.51\00:25:21.14
through those small experiences
00:25:21.17\00:25:23.27
to be able to do more and more
00:25:23.30\00:25:26.08
and that is the continue
work that we have with God.
00:25:26.11\00:25:31.85
He promises that
there will be no end
00:25:31.88\00:25:34.79
to that upward
walk in this life.
00:25:34.82\00:25:38.53
He wants perfection from us.
00:25:38.56\00:25:40.78
So we've just put
200 liters of diesel
00:25:40.81\00:25:43.83
in the front end loader
00:25:43.86\00:25:46.18
and we're on our way
now to seal on the appeal,
00:25:46.21\00:25:48.45
to began the work
on the on our road
00:25:48.48\00:25:51.90
up to a high school property.
00:25:51.93\00:25:54.09
Every Christian is a missionary,
00:25:54.12\00:25:55.98
whether they are
in the foreign country
00:25:56.01\00:25:58.25
or in their home town.
00:25:58.28\00:25:59.83
We are all missionaries.
00:25:59.86\00:26:01.10
We are all
ambassadors for Christ.
00:26:01.13\00:26:03.22
If you were just be
willing to have new experiences
00:26:03.25\00:26:07.37
you are not gonna have
everything that you had before
00:26:07.40\00:26:09.50
you are goanna
miss some things but
00:26:09.53\00:26:12.52
God will
replace it with a lot of
00:26:12.55\00:26:14.02
great experiences
that you'll really enjoying
00:26:14.05\00:26:16.56
and you'll remember
for your rest of your life.
00:26:16.59\00:26:19.19
One of the biggest hesitations
00:26:19.22\00:26:21.29
about become a
missionary is that you--
00:26:21.32\00:26:25.80
it's something new.
00:26:25.83\00:26:27.67
You have never done it before
00:26:27.70\00:26:28.89
and you don't know
what its going to be like
00:26:28.92\00:26:32.94
but when you know that God
00:26:32.97\00:26:34.83
that is calling
you to mission work
00:26:34.86\00:26:36.22
and that your
life is in His hands.
00:26:36.25\00:26:38.94
You can go forward in faith
00:26:38.97\00:26:40.49
knowing that God is
working things for good.
00:26:40.52\00:26:44.08
Then a challenging three years,
00:26:44.11\00:26:46.73
but we are
absolutely delighted now
00:26:46.76\00:26:49.27
to finally see
equipment on the site,
00:26:49.30\00:26:51.84
moving dirt so that soon
we are going to have a road
00:26:51.87\00:26:55.17
to our high school property
00:26:55.20\00:26:56.39
so that we can began the
development of the campus.
00:26:56.42\00:27:01.26
It's an opportunity to grow like
00:27:01.29\00:27:05.90
you'll never grow
in any other place.
00:27:05.93\00:27:08.66
You get responsibilities that
you would not choose yourself
00:27:08.69\00:27:13.18
but the God chooses for
you because He knows that
00:27:13.21\00:27:16.94
when you are put in
those situation you will grow.
00:27:16.97\00:27:21.06
And also don't be
afraid to become a missionary
00:27:21.09\00:27:23.99
if you don't think
that you have the skills
00:27:24.02\00:27:27.04
because God is the
one who gives talent,
00:27:27.07\00:27:29.57
He's the one who gives skills.
00:27:29.60\00:27:32.07
All God wants is a missionary
00:27:32.10\00:27:35.75
who is willing to
submit themselves to His will.
00:27:35.78\00:27:40.76
God wants us to grow.
00:27:40.79\00:27:42.75
He wants us to grow
to become of more service
00:27:42.78\00:27:47.11
to our fellowmen
to represent Him.
00:27:47.14\00:27:50.03
When He was
here He was a servant
00:27:50.06\00:27:52.84
and that's what He
is calling us to be,
00:27:52.87\00:27:55.68
to be a servant
to our fellowmen.
00:27:55.71\00:27:58.66
The most important thing about
00:27:58.69\00:28:00.12
being a
missionary is not your skill
00:28:00.15\00:28:03.99
but will you allow
Him to work in your life.
00:28:04.02\00:28:07.86
