(uplifting music)
00:00:00.66\00:00:03.13
- [Mary Ann] We've
grown up in the church
00:00:05.63\00:00:06.90
and have always been
somewhat involved in outreach.
00:00:06.90\00:00:10.04
But how can we get
involved in missions overseas?
00:00:10.04\00:00:13.07
My name is Mary Ann.
00:00:13.07\00:00:15.21
- [Lilyann] And I'm Lilyann.
00:00:15.21\00:00:16.95
We wanted to find out.
00:00:16.95\00:00:18.71
Join us, on our journey,
00:00:18.71\00:00:20.52
(bell donging)
00:00:20.52\00:00:22.02
to discover the culture,
00:00:22.02\00:00:24.12
the lifestyle.
00:00:24.12\00:00:25.39
- [Mary Ann] The
need and the mission,
00:00:25.39\00:00:27.72
- [Lilyann] in two
of Southeast Asia's
00:00:27.72\00:00:29.36
least reached countries.
00:00:29.36\00:00:30.86
- Welcome to MissionTREK.
00:00:31.99\00:00:34.00
Hello and
welcome to MissionTREK.
00:00:40.67\00:00:42.30
- We're so excited
to have you join us.
00:00:42.30\00:00:44.51
- My name is Mary Ann.
00:00:44.51\00:00:45.57
- And I'm Lilyann.
00:00:45.57\00:00:47.11
- So this is so crazy.
00:00:47.11\00:00:48.64
Like, we're actually
here on the MissionTREK set.
00:00:48.64\00:00:50.18
- It's been so
long getting here.
00:00:50.18\00:00:52.28
- We had this
idea, what was it, like--
00:00:52.28\00:00:54.12
- Over a year ago.
00:00:54.12\00:00:55.28
- That's so crazy.
00:00:55.28\00:00:56.25
- God has blessed so much.
00:00:56.25\00:00:57.52
- He really has.
00:00:57.52\00:00:58.99
- So what can the
viewers expect this series?
00:00:58.99\00:01:00.79
- Well, this series we went
to a lot of different countries.
00:01:00.79\00:01:04.06
We were able to visit
a lot of missionaries,
00:01:04.06\00:01:06.03
experience the culture,
00:01:06.03\00:01:07.40
even got to try
some of the food.
00:01:07.40\00:01:08.63
- Mm-hmm. -
That was really good.
00:01:08.63\00:01:09.80
- It was. - Yeah. (laughs)
00:01:09.80\00:01:11.90
- We have so much
to share with you,
00:01:11.90\00:01:13.54
and here's some of
what you can expect to see
00:01:13.54\00:01:15.44
over the next ten episodes.
00:01:15.44\00:01:17.57
(uplifting music)
00:01:17.57\00:01:20.48
No, no, no, no, I
am not a snake person.
00:01:37.16\00:01:39.93
I would rather just watch them.
00:01:39.93\00:01:42.63
(uplifting music)
00:01:42.63\00:01:45.43
- Trembling is to shake.
00:01:50.84\00:01:53.44
(uplifting music)
00:01:53.44\00:01:56.24
(water sloshing)
00:02:00.28\00:02:02.95
- Because he loved
every person so very much.
00:02:04.12\00:02:07.86
(uplifting music)
00:02:07.86\00:02:10.76
- It is so good.
00:03:13.56\00:03:14.96
Holy father, we
pray you that you please
00:03:20.13\00:03:23.57
pour your spirit upon us.
00:03:23.57\00:03:25.80
Pour your spirit upon the city.
00:03:26.60\00:03:28.67
- Isn't that exciting?
00:03:37.55\00:03:38.61
- Yes, just watching
that helps me to relive
00:03:38.61\00:03:40.82
some of those moments.
00:03:40.82\00:03:41.72
- That was so much fun.
00:03:41.72\00:03:43.25
- It was. -
Yeah, so, this wasn't
00:03:43.25\00:03:45.45
either of our first
times going oversees.
00:03:45.45\00:03:47.12
- Mm-mm, we'd both been before.
00:03:47.12\00:03:48.86
- Yeah, I don't
really remember how I felt
00:03:48.86\00:03:50.86
the first time,
'cause I was four.
00:03:50.86\00:03:52.39
- Yeah, well I was
10 the first time I went
00:03:52.39\00:03:54.73
and I remember
feeling nervous and excited.
00:03:54.73\00:03:58.33
Uncertain about
what was to come.
00:03:58.33\00:04:00.37
- Yeah, I think
that's a lot of the reason
00:04:00.37\00:04:02.70
people don't go, because
it's unknown what's over there,
00:04:02.70\00:04:06.17
and you know,
the unknown is scary,
00:04:06.17\00:04:07.91
and they don't want to
get out of their comfort zone.
00:04:07.91\00:04:09.58
- But you can't let
your fears stop you.
00:04:09.58\00:04:11.95
- Yeah, and I think the
only way to overcome those fears
00:04:11.95\00:04:15.92
is just by surrendering.
00:04:15.92\00:04:17.82
- Exactly, that's what
we have to do before we go.
00:04:17.82\00:04:20.12
We spend a lot of time praying.
00:04:20.12\00:04:21.22
- To make sure
that we're surrendered,
00:04:21.22\00:04:22.82
that we're going
for God's reasons.
00:04:22.82\00:04:24.63
- And claim
promises, because we never know
00:04:24.63\00:04:26.29
what situations
we might encounter.
00:04:26.29\00:04:27.83
- Yeah, but when
you're in God's will,
00:04:27.83\00:04:29.60
He'll take care of you.
00:04:29.60\00:04:30.60
- Exactly. - It's not scary.
00:04:30.60\00:04:31.93
- No, another challenge
that people have to overcome
00:04:31.93\00:04:34.17
is finances,
where to get the money.
00:04:34.17\00:04:35.37
- It takes money to go overseas.
00:04:35.37\00:04:37.47
- Exactly.
00:04:37.47\00:04:38.27
- Plane tickets are expensive,
00:04:38.27\00:04:39.57
living is expensive. -
We didn't have the money
00:04:39.57\00:04:41.44
for this show when we started.
00:04:41.44\00:04:42.71
- No, we didn't.
- And, God provided.
00:04:42.71\00:04:44.31
- Yeah, we had to pray
a lot for the finances,
00:04:44.31\00:04:47.38
but He provides.
00:04:47.38\00:04:48.48
If it's His
will, He will provide.
00:04:48.48\00:04:49.92
- Mm-hmm.
00:04:49.92\00:04:50.99
- But people that
actually live overseas
00:04:50.99\00:04:52.32
that do this work, have
said that they've never seen
00:04:52.32\00:04:54.42
anybody not be able to
go because of finances.
00:04:54.42\00:04:56.52
If it's God
will, He will provide.
00:04:56.52\00:04:58.29
- He always does.
00:04:58.29\00:04:59.13
- He always does.
00:04:59.13\00:05:00.66
- It's one thing
to talk about it,
00:05:00.66\00:05:02.00
but we can actually show you.
00:05:02.00\00:05:04.70
This is where we started.
00:05:04.70\00:05:06.50
- We bought a plane
ticket from Atlanta to Bangkok.
00:05:06.50\00:05:09.60
- And we had a 15
hour layover in Beijing.
00:05:09.60\00:05:13.48
- But the real trip
started before that.
00:05:13.48\00:05:15.71
(gentle ambient music)
00:05:16.98\00:05:20.32
(bright piano music)
00:05:32.49\00:05:35.63
- [Lilyann] After waiting in
Atlanta for a couple of hours
00:05:59.72\00:06:02.29
we boarded the flight.
00:06:02.29\00:06:04.09
We were all excited, but
also a little bit anxious
00:06:04.09\00:06:06.73
to see what this trip
would actually be like.
00:06:06.73\00:06:09.03
- [Lilyann] Our first
stop was in San Francisco.
00:06:20.54\00:06:23.01
(bright music)
00:06:40.13\00:06:43.23
- [Lilyann] That morning, we
had an 11 hour flight to China.
00:06:43.23\00:06:46.47
We got there the next morning.
00:06:46.47\00:06:48.47
We had a 15 hour
layover in China,
00:06:50.27\00:06:52.51
so we asked some
friends to show us around,
00:06:52.51\00:06:54.88
since none of us had
ever been there before.
00:06:54.88\00:06:57.45
Our first impression
was that it was really cold.
00:06:57.45\00:07:00.22
Of course it was January.
00:07:00.22\00:07:01.85
But 30 degrees and no warm
clothing, was really harsh.
00:07:01.85\00:07:05.85
Thankfully, our
friends lent us coats,
00:07:05.85\00:07:07.92
which made the
visit much more enjoyable.
00:07:07.92\00:07:10.13
As we drove, I noticed
it was modern in the city,
00:07:13.29\00:07:16.23
but as we got out
into the more rural areas,
00:07:16.23\00:07:18.63
it became more
neglected looking.
00:07:18.63\00:07:20.47
When we got to the
farm, we ate breakfast,
00:07:21.97\00:07:24.44
which was really good.
00:07:24.44\00:07:26.01
Then, we headed
out to the Great Wall.
00:07:26.01\00:07:28.14
It's interesting here,
because it's an Asian country,
00:07:50.37\00:07:53.23
obviously, but they drive
on the right side of the road
00:07:53.23\00:07:56.20
just like we do at home.
00:07:56.20\00:07:57.61
It took over 1,800
years to build the wall
00:08:01.78\00:08:04.18
to what it is today.
00:08:04.18\00:08:05.95
The most popular parts still,
00:08:05.95\00:08:07.68
see up to 70,000 people per day.
00:08:07.68\00:08:10.12
China is a beautiful country.
00:08:15.22\00:08:17.33
Getting to see the
Great Wall, and all the people
00:08:17.33\00:08:19.53
who live there,
really made me think.
00:08:19.53\00:08:22.16
The majority of them live their
lives appeasing the spirits
00:08:22.16\00:08:25.30
and believing in superstitions.
00:08:25.30\00:08:27.17
And yet the
Adventist Church in China,
00:08:29.24\00:08:31.11
has over 43,000 members.
00:08:31.11\00:08:33.71
But that is a small number,
00:08:34.84\00:08:36.34
compared to the 1.3 billion
people who actually live there.
00:08:36.34\00:08:40.08
Even though China is
smaller than the United States,
00:08:42.78\00:08:45.82
one in every five
people in the world is Chinese.
00:08:45.82\00:08:49.32
- Oh right, yes.
00:08:55.03\00:08:56.43
Unfortunately, since
we were short on time,
00:09:38.94\00:09:41.28
we did not get to
visit the Forbidden City.
00:09:41.28\00:09:43.91
Instead, we went to eat.
00:09:43.91\00:09:45.71
The food, which was a variety
of authentic Chinese dishes,
00:09:45.71\00:09:49.28
was really good.
00:09:49.28\00:09:50.65
It was very
different from the Chinese food
00:09:50.65\00:09:52.69
that we are used to in America.
00:09:52.69\00:09:54.76
(plates
clattering) (people chattering)
00:09:54.76\00:09:59.83
- [Lilyann] After we ate,
they took us down this street
00:10:13.44\00:10:15.58
where they were selling a
lot of interesting things,
00:10:15.58\00:10:18.41
like Scorpions and surprisingly,
00:10:18.41\00:10:21.15
we weren't too
excited to try them.
00:10:21.15\00:10:22.98
- [Mary Ann]
China is a busy country,
00:10:27.49\00:10:29.02
with lots of
culture and diversity.
00:10:29.02\00:10:31.29
We were able to have small
glimpse of what it's like there.
00:10:31.29\00:10:34.46
The food, the
culture and the customs
00:10:34.46\00:10:36.60
are different from anywhere
else that we've ever been.
00:10:36.60\00:10:39.27
(bright music) (street chatter)
00:10:41.17\00:10:46.14
We were able to
do a lot in the short
00:11:07.10\00:11:08.86
amount of time
that we were in China.
00:11:08.86\00:11:10.67
- [Mary Ann] Afterwards,
we headed back to the airport.
00:11:10.67\00:11:13.47
- Even though
it was really cold,
00:11:16.37\00:11:18.11
and we were fighting jet
lag, I'm so glad we were able
00:11:18.11\00:11:20.84
to take advantage of
the opportunity to see a new
00:11:20.84\00:11:24.31
country. China
is a huge country.
00:11:24.31\00:11:26.08
But, since it's communist,
a lot of risks are involved.
00:11:26.08\00:11:29.68
Please pray for
the people of China.
00:11:29.68\00:11:31.55
So, neither of us had
ever been to China before.
00:11:37.13\00:11:39.39
- No, we hadn't.
00:11:39.39\00:11:40.50
- It was,
totally new experience.
00:11:40.50\00:11:41.90
- It was, it was the
first communist country
00:11:41.90\00:11:43.70
we'd ever been to either,
and it had such a different
00:11:43.70\00:11:45.90
feel to it.
00:11:45.90\00:11:47.37
- I mean, just the
people that we were around.
00:11:47.37\00:11:49.40
- We couldn't show
their faces in the camera,
00:11:49.40\00:11:51.67
the people who were helping us.
00:11:51.67\00:11:53.34
They had to be careful not
to be seen with us very much
00:11:53.34\00:11:56.24
because to be seen
with a white person
00:11:56.24\00:11:57.85
can be a sign of rebellion.
00:11:57.85\00:11:59.35
- And the people that
we were around on the wall
00:11:59.35\00:12:01.48
and at the restaurant,
00:12:01.48\00:12:03.02
they just looked
fearful and cautious.
00:12:03.02\00:12:05.79
- Yeah, like, there
isn't really any freedom.
00:12:05.79\00:12:09.09
And after we left, sadly,
the people who helped us out,
00:12:09.09\00:12:11.99
the Christians that were
running the ministry there,
00:12:11.99\00:12:14.36
they actually had to
leave, not because of us,
00:12:14.36\00:12:16.87
but for reasons they
had to move to South Korea.
00:12:16.87\00:12:19.30
- 'Cause they
weren't safe anymore.
00:12:19.30\00:12:21.07
- And that's really sad,
00:12:21.07\00:12:22.17
because who's
gonna take their place?
00:12:22.17\00:12:23.54
- Being a missionary in
China, would take somebody
00:12:23.54\00:12:26.61
that's very dedicated.
00:12:26.61\00:12:27.91
- It would, yeah, and
'cause it's really dangerous.
00:12:27.91\00:12:30.88
- Mm-hmm, there's
still work being done,
00:12:30.88\00:12:33.25
but it's very little
compared to all the people there
00:12:33.25\00:12:35.38
that need to be reached.
00:12:35.38\00:12:36.45
- Yeah, there's so
many people in China,
00:12:36.45\00:12:38.35
that need to hear about Jesus,
00:12:38.35\00:12:39.72
and there's nobody to tell
them, because it's illegal.
00:12:39.72\00:12:42.52
It's really
dangerous to work there,
00:12:42.52\00:12:43.99
and be a Christian
at all, is illegal.
00:12:43.99\00:12:47.03
- Compared to
Thailand, where we usually go,
00:12:47.03\00:12:49.56
China has a very
closed, oppressed feel to it.
00:12:49.56\00:12:53.20
- Yeah.
00:12:53.20\00:12:54.74
- But getting back to our trip.
00:12:54.74\00:12:56.47
After the
restaurant, we had a rushed trip
00:12:56.47\00:13:00.41
to get back to the airport.
00:13:00.41\00:13:01.71
- Yeah, because we
only had, what was it,
00:13:01.71\00:13:03.91
an hour before our flight left?
00:13:03.91\00:13:05.61
- Yeah. - And we
got stuck in traffic.
00:13:05.61\00:13:07.45
- Yeah.
00:13:07.45\00:13:08.25
- It was like, rush hour.
00:13:08.25\00:13:09.38
It was super stressful.
- Rush hour in Beijing,
00:13:09.38\00:13:11.29
was really bad. - It
was really crazy, yeah.
00:13:11.29\00:13:13.72
But, we finally got
back, by God's grace,
00:13:13.72\00:13:16.66
in time for our flight.
00:13:16.66\00:13:17.53
- Yes, definitely.
00:13:17.53\00:13:19.16
We had a five hour
flight from Beijing to Bangkok.
00:13:19.16\00:13:22.53
- And we got in at about
one o'clock in the morning.
00:13:22.53\00:13:25.70
We were so tired, because then
00:13:25.70\00:13:26.77
we had to wait in
line for immigration.
00:13:26.77\00:13:28.60
- Like, two hours.
00:13:28.60\00:13:29.67
- It was so crazy.
00:13:29.67\00:13:30.84
- We didn't
even get to our hotel
00:13:30.84\00:13:32.81
'til like, five
o'clock in the morning.
00:13:32.81\00:13:34.21
- Yeah, so the next morning,
00:13:34.21\00:13:35.74
we were really
jet lagged and tired,
00:13:35.74\00:13:38.21
so I don't think we got
up, until, what was it, 10:00?
00:13:38.21\00:13:41.12
(Mary Ann laughs) - Yeah.
00:13:41.12\00:13:42.45
- So we, but we still only
got about five hours of sleep.
00:13:42.45\00:13:45.12
- Yeah, we didn't do
much because we were so tired
00:13:45.12\00:13:48.52
and jet lagged,
getting used to the time.
00:13:48.52\00:13:50.76
- Yeah, but we do
get to share with you
00:13:50.76\00:13:52.73
our first meal at
our favorite restaurant.
00:13:52.73\00:13:54.86
- [Woman] Take one
down, pass it around.
00:14:36.07\00:14:39.47
- Okay, dry this off.
00:14:43.68\00:14:45.11
- Oh my goodness. - There we go.
00:14:46.18\00:14:49.58
- [Mary Ann] I'm
officially in Thailand.
00:14:49.58\00:14:51.79
- Mm, yeah.
00:15:04.17\00:15:05.17
Yep!
00:15:08.27\00:15:09.17
- Mm.
00:15:18.15\00:15:19.05
- Mm-hmm.
00:15:24.45\00:15:25.35
(restaurant chatter)
00:15:43.44\00:15:46.61
Mm, mm.
00:15:51.61\00:15:52.51
(laughing)
00:16:08.70\00:16:11.73
- Mm, mm, mm.
00:16:11.73\00:16:12.90
(chattering)
00:16:22.38\00:16:25.61
Jet lag set in
early Friday afternoon,
00:16:25.61\00:16:27.88
so we didn't do
anything the rest of that day.
00:16:27.88\00:16:30.62
After a good night, we
headed across town to church.
00:16:30.62\00:16:33.29
We borrowed some
footage from a TV series called,
00:17:09.79\00:17:12.09
I Want This City,
where the interviewer asks
00:17:12.09\00:17:14.30
random people in Bangkok
if they've heard of Jesus.
00:17:14.30\00:17:17.07
- Okay, ready?
00:17:23.20\00:17:25.14
- [Camera Man] Yes.
00:17:25.14\00:17:26.11
(speaking in foreign language)
00:17:26.11\00:17:30.08
- They said they
never heard about Jesus.
00:17:41.59\00:17:43.26
- [Camera Man] Really?
00:17:43.26\00:17:44.09
- Yeah, they didn't...
00:17:44.09\00:17:44.89
(speaking in foreign language)
00:17:44.89\00:17:48.63
- [Camera Man]
Would you like to know?
00:17:48.63\00:17:50.43
Would you like to find out--
00:17:50.43\00:17:51.23
(speaking in foreign language)
00:17:51.23\00:17:54.20
(bright music)
00:17:54.20\00:17:56.84
(camera clicks)
00:18:01.88\00:18:04.61
(speaking in foreign language)
00:18:06.78\00:18:10.75
(speaking in foreign language)
00:18:52.76\00:18:56.70
- [Mary Ann] It's
amazing to actually see people
00:19:10.81\00:19:12.71
who have no idea who Jesus is,
00:19:12.71\00:19:14.58
but are interested in learning.
00:19:14.58\00:19:16.28
We thought about this
as we arrived at Yanhee,
00:19:16.28\00:19:18.52
one of the few
Adventist churches in this city.
00:19:18.52\00:19:21.06
(people singing)
00:19:21.06\00:19:23.89
- We draw closer to
him, like this flower here,
00:19:25.16\00:19:29.20
but then we have to take
what we've gained from God
00:19:29.20\00:19:32.10
and the blessing, to
take it to the world.
00:19:32.10\00:19:34.24
- Through this here, where
he's got the spoon and the fork,
00:19:34.24\00:19:37.91
and the bible, and so...
00:19:37.91\00:19:40.04
- Pretty much.
00:20:09.14\00:20:10.37
(skipping rope whipping)
00:20:14.51\00:20:18.01
(gentle music)
00:23:06.68\00:23:09.25
- [Mary Ann]
Lumpini Park was nice ending
00:23:09.25\00:23:10.79
to our Sabbath in the city.
00:23:10.79\00:23:12.95
It was time to
head back to the hotel,
00:23:12.95\00:23:14.99
which meant we had to
take the Skytrain, or BTS,
00:23:14.99\00:23:17.93
that would carry us
over the traffic of Bangkok.
00:23:17.93\00:23:20.96
Most people think
of missionary life
00:23:20.96\00:23:22.80
as living a
bamboo hut in the jungle.
00:23:22.80\00:23:24.97
Not in a city like Bangkok,
where it's modern and wealthy,
00:23:24.97\00:23:27.74
with complex
transportation systems
00:23:27.74\00:23:29.74
and high-rise
luxury shopping malls.
00:23:29.74\00:23:31.84
- [Mary Ann] But this
is where the people are,
00:23:48.52\00:23:50.06
and God loves
people, so he is here too.
00:23:50.06\00:23:52.63
If you think about it, the
early church was established
00:23:54.20\00:23:56.80
in the cities, and that
is where they concentrated
00:23:56.80\00:23:59.33
their evangelistic efforts.
00:23:59.33\00:24:00.80
So, please pray for
people to be willing
00:24:01.94\00:24:03.47
to bring the
Gospel to the big cities,
00:24:03.47\00:24:05.54
without getting
distracted by all the glitter
00:24:05.54\00:24:07.38
and wealth they see around them.
00:24:07.38\00:24:09.04
We finally got on the train.
00:24:10.58\00:24:12.65
We were tired, but we
decided to make a quick stop
00:24:12.65\00:24:15.12
for a fish
massage on the way back.
00:24:15.12\00:24:16.95
- I can't
believe I'm doing this.
00:24:29.16\00:24:31.50
(gasps)
00:24:31.50\00:24:33.54
(squealing)
00:24:33.54\00:24:35.94
- This is embarrassing.
00:24:45.28\00:24:46.65
(squealing)
00:24:46.65\00:24:49.05
- Oh my God.
00:24:51.42\00:24:52.22
- Look at my feet, Lilyann.
00:24:52.22\00:24:53.62
- I know, I know, your feet
aren't as sensitive as mine.
00:24:53.62\00:24:56.62
- Oh, I can't
believe I'm doing this.
00:24:56.62\00:24:58.89
(squealing)
00:24:58.89\00:25:01.26
- [Woman] Oh, oh,
oh, oh, that is so...
00:25:02.66\00:25:05.03
(laughing)
00:25:05.03\00:25:07.37
- [Woman] Little fish,
just little suction things.
00:25:11.34\00:25:15.58
- [Camera
Person] Do you like it?
00:25:16.68\00:25:18.88
- [Woman] I can't look down.
00:25:18.88\00:25:19.98
- [Camera
Person] Do you like it?
00:25:19.98\00:25:21.95
- Look at, I, I'm not
like, just (squealing).
00:25:21.95\00:25:24.49
- Hold 'em still Lilyann.
00:25:24.49\00:25:26.35
(squealing)
00:25:26.35\00:25:28.76
(people chattering)
00:25:44.81\00:25:47.88
It was so great to be
back in Thailand again.
00:25:56.22\00:25:58.49
- It was, it's amazing how fast
00:25:58.49\00:26:00.76
it becomes like a second home.
00:26:00.76\00:26:01.89
- Yeah. - Like the atmosphere,
00:26:01.89\00:26:04.03
the city, it
just, it feels safe.
00:26:04.03\00:26:06.09
Like, you wouldn't
think about that in a city.
00:26:06.09\00:26:07.96
- Like, here.
00:26:07.96\00:26:09.20
- Everybody's so friendly.
00:26:09.20\00:26:10.63
- And they just
treat you like normal.
00:26:10.63\00:26:12.30
- And the weather was like,
really nice compared to China.
00:26:12.30\00:26:15.50
'Cause in China it was so cold.
00:26:15.50\00:26:17.21
- Exactly, it was so warm
00:26:17.21\00:26:18.84
in Thailand. - It was.
00:26:18.84\00:26:20.08
I mean it was a little
extreme, but we got used to it.
00:26:20.08\00:26:22.81
- Yeah.
00:26:22.81\00:26:23.95
- Out of what
we've experienced so far,
00:26:23.95\00:26:26.11
my favorite part was
definitely the Great Wall.
00:26:26.11\00:26:28.75
- Yeah, that was such
an amazing experience.
00:26:28.75\00:26:30.52
It was something neither
of us had ever done before.
00:26:30.52\00:26:32.82
- And like, probably will never
have the chance to do again.
00:26:32.82\00:26:34.99
- Yeah, so as we're coming
to the close of this episode,
00:26:34.99\00:26:37.59
just reminiscing
about being there,
00:26:37.59\00:26:40.00
just made me think about,
00:26:40.00\00:26:41.30
like, there's so many
people that still need to know
00:26:41.30\00:26:43.90
about Jesus, and that these
are, it's our mission in life
00:26:43.90\00:26:48.97
as Christians to tell them.
00:26:49.77\00:26:51.11
But so many times when you
think about our goals in life,
00:26:51.11\00:26:54.08
we don't take them into account.
00:26:54.08\00:26:55.61
We're just like,
what would be good for me.
00:26:55.61\00:26:57.65
- Mm-hmm.
00:26:57.65\00:26:58.95
- So this really made me
think about, rethink my goals
00:26:58.95\00:27:01.88
and stuff, and we
hope that it made you guys
00:27:01.88\00:27:03.62
think about that too.
00:27:03.62\00:27:04.95
- And as you do, keep in
mind that millions out there
00:27:04.95\00:27:07.89
still have not had a
chance to learn about Jesus.
00:27:07.89\00:27:11.19
Don't let your fear of the
unknown keep you from doing
00:27:11.19\00:27:13.76
what Jesus may
be calling you to.
00:27:13.76\00:27:15.50
- It is so easy to just
be a Christian on Sabbath,
00:27:15.50\00:27:18.13
but we wanna invite you to
make it an everyday experience.
00:27:18.13\00:27:21.40
Every day this week, make
it a point to do something
00:27:21.40\00:27:25.11
for someone, just
a little something,
00:27:25.11\00:27:27.11
that will show
them what Jesus is like.
00:27:27.11\00:27:29.98
- It doesn't have
to be anything big.
00:27:29.98\00:27:31.71
It can be as simple
as holding the door open
00:27:31.71\00:27:33.62
for someone, or smiling.
00:27:33.62\00:27:35.32
- Yeah, if you do
little things like that,
00:27:35.32\00:27:37.15
it'll become a habit
and it'll become easier
00:27:37.15\00:27:39.12
to do large things for God.
00:27:39.12\00:27:40.82
- We have so much
more to share with you,
00:27:40.82\00:27:42.79
so make sure you
check out our next episode.
00:27:42.79\00:27:45.03
Thank you for joining us
this week on MissionTREK,
00:27:45.03\00:27:47.76
- And remember to
pray for the unreached.
00:27:47.76\00:27:49.66
- See you next time.
00:27:49.66\00:27:50.57
(uplifting music)
00:27:50.57\00:27:53.47
