Today's adventure is
about transform lives,
00:00:01.96\00:00:03.06
the lives of an
entire village. Stay tune.
00:00:03.06\00:00:07.20
So far here in Addis
Ababa, there is one thing
00:00:55.00\00:00:57.30
that I see that is distinguish
is that's traffic lights.
00:00:57.30\00:01:00.16
Even if they were here
people traveling was used
00:01:01.56\00:01:03.60
to it because everybody
kind of mills in and joins
00:01:03.60\00:01:06.26
in and waves and
points and kind of move back
00:01:06.26\00:01:09.50
and forth and they seem
like they make it all work,
00:01:09.50\00:01:11.50
it's like this mechanical
symphony or some kind.
00:01:11.50\00:01:14.60
Addis Ababa is the
capital of Ethiopia founded
00:01:16.33\00:01:19.46
by Emperor Menelik in
1887. The federal democratic
00:01:19.46\00:01:24.40
republic of Ethiopia is a
landlocked country situated
00:01:24.40\00:01:28.10
in the Horn of Africa
border by Sudan, Kenya,
00:01:28.10\00:01:31.40
Somalia, Djibouti, and is of
1993 to the North by Eritrea.
00:01:32.06\00:01:36.80
It's kind a fun to be
here to see the little burls
00:01:53.53\00:01:55.96
carrying big sacks of
grain that the lumber market
00:01:55.96\00:01:59.76
is right here as we
pass by where the people
00:01:59.76\00:02:02.63
tan in hides right
long side the street.
00:02:02.63\00:02:04.83
All the different vendors,
mango, is that good mangoes.
00:02:06.23\00:02:09.06
There is just a
little of everything,
00:02:10.56\00:02:11.70
I saw fellow carrying
his six foot door on top
00:02:11.70\00:02:14.43
of this head. I don't
know where he is headed
00:02:14.43\00:02:16.93
with that, but lot
of things are carried on
00:02:16.93\00:02:19.40
the head, here it
is the easiest way of
00:02:19.40\00:02:20.70
transportation many
times because many folks
00:02:20.70\00:02:23.30
don't have vehicles. Then
the streets are so crowded
00:02:23.30\00:02:25.80
they can actually
walk faster anyway.
00:02:25.80\00:02:27.96
It's just an exciting mix
to see everything happening
00:02:27.96\00:02:31.30
in the one time
in a short states.
00:02:31.30\00:02:33.46
Addis Ababa meaning new flower.
00:02:35.30\00:02:37.10
It's a sprawling city
located at the heart of
00:02:37.10\00:02:39.40
Ethiopia. The rolling
hills and agreeable climate
00:02:39.40\00:02:42.93
is a perfect location for
the political, economical,
00:02:42.93\00:02:46.20
and social centre of
Ethiopia. With the population
00:02:46.20\00:02:54.63
of 2.8 million the city
inhabitants make up a small
00:02:54.63\00:02:58.00
portion of the 73 million
people who live in Ethiopia.
00:02:58.00\00:03:01.96
Communications can
be difficult because 83
00:03:01.96\00:03:06.80
languages are spoken in
Ethiopia. But the use of
00:03:06.80\00:03:09.73
English and Hark and
Qwarenya by most people
00:03:09.73\00:03:12.76
has made communications easier.
00:03:12.76\00:03:14.43
Here is the beginning of
the future of Addis Ababa
00:03:18.73\00:03:21.00
was threaten by the lack
of firewood for the rapidly
00:03:21.00\00:03:23.60
growing population. The
introduction of fast growing
00:03:23.60\00:03:27.10
eucalyptus tree save
the developing capital.
00:03:27.10\00:03:29.90
Anthropologist called
Ethiopia the cradle of
00:03:29.90\00:03:34.53
civilization. The
discovery of a skeleton later
00:03:34.53\00:03:38.83
named Lucy is said to
be the missing link and was
00:03:38.83\00:03:42.20
found in the far region
of Ethiopia. Some studies
00:03:42.20\00:03:45.76
claimed that the
dispersion of human beings
00:03:45.76\00:03:47.96
can be traced back
to this region. However,
00:03:47.96\00:03:51.83
according to Genesis
1:1, we find that God created
00:03:51.83\00:03:55.60
all things in the beginning
God created the heavens
00:03:55.60\00:03:58.66
and the earth. So we
can conclude that the Lucy
00:03:58.66\00:04:01.26
account does not fit the
biblical record of creation.
00:04:01.26\00:04:04.40
You know so many times
the news media portraits
00:04:22.00\00:04:23.73
the ugly sight of Ethiopia,
but this is the beautiful
00:04:23.73\00:04:27.63
part things that the
news media never shows you,
00:04:27.63\00:04:29.93
gorgeous vistas lust
grass, cattle out grazing,
00:04:29.93\00:04:34.10
beautiful sunshine,
warm weather, just right
00:04:35.16\00:04:38.56
the wind is blowing
little bit with a little breeze.
00:04:38.56\00:04:41.93
There is horses running around,
00:04:41.93\00:04:43.83
I mean it is beautiful.
Well, we have been on the dirt
00:04:43.83\00:04:55.40
road for a while
now and man it's dirty,
00:04:55.40\00:04:57.70
it's bumpy, it's tiring,
but we've got a lot of great
00:04:57.70\00:05:00.70
listener stories
I understand in a
00:05:00.70\00:05:02.23
village some more
ahead. I hope we get there
00:05:02.23\00:05:04.30
soon, but I am
excited about the stories.
00:05:04.30\00:05:06.66
What you see here
today is an example of making
00:06:23.26\00:06:25.90
way of Adventist
World Radio touching hearts
00:06:25.90\00:06:28.70
around the world even
in this remote village.
00:06:28.70\00:06:31.70
It's started with one
fellow listening to a radio,
00:06:32.43\00:06:35.00
who began sharing with
others. And he is here today
00:06:35.00\00:06:37.90
and we're going to
talk with him for a minute.
00:06:37.90\00:06:39.26
Join us. Hello
brother. How are you today?
00:06:39.26\00:06:45.83
Thus I understand that
6 years ago you started
00:06:48.26\00:06:51.10
listening the
Adventist World Radio.
00:06:51.10\00:06:52.70
Tell me about that?
What happened in your life?
00:06:52.70\00:06:55.16
It happened 6 years
ago. I was searching
00:07:06.73\00:07:09.13
to radio dial for
something interest to listen,
00:07:09.13\00:07:11.46
and I discovered
that Adventist World
00:07:12.56\00:07:14.20
Radio message. I continue
listening and compared it to
00:07:14.20\00:07:17.66
the Bible. After
sometime I began to understand
00:07:17.66\00:07:21.20
the truth and
decided to follow Jesus.
00:07:21.20\00:07:23.56
But you spent 6
years listening to it,
00:07:23.56\00:07:26.86
but you didn't believe it
first. You continued to study.
00:07:26.86\00:07:29.50
I was listening and
studying, but I had a problem
00:07:31.73\00:07:34.73
with my family and other
relatives. The objective to
00:07:34.73\00:07:38.33
my interest in the
truth from the AWR messages,
00:07:38.33\00:07:41.46
but I still
decide to follow Jesus.
00:07:42.80\00:07:44.20
So what happened at that
time? What change because
00:07:45.63\00:07:49.16
you share with me
something about your brother?
00:07:49.16\00:07:51.30
After listening to the radio,
00:07:55.33\00:07:56.40
I recognized the truth.
And after that I started
00:07:57.46\00:08:00.96
to follow Jesus and
there was a great change
00:08:00.96\00:08:03.33
in my life. I was
compelled to share a message
00:08:03.33\00:08:06.60
with my brothers,
sisters, and all my relatives.
00:08:06.60\00:08:09.73
And what happened
when you began sharing
00:08:11.03\00:08:12.50
and tell us some
little more of that story?
00:08:12.50\00:08:15.40
I shared the AWR
message with many others
00:08:18.26\00:08:20.90
and they accept the
truth. They began asking me
00:08:21.90\00:08:24.63
for the location of
the Church building,
00:08:24.63\00:08:26.40
but I don't know
where to find a Church,
00:08:27.40\00:08:29.73
so I did not know
where to tell them to go.
00:08:29.73\00:08:32.06
But your brother accepted them.
00:08:33.20\00:08:34.36
He began listening
Adventist World Radio too.
00:08:34.36\00:08:36.73
My brother ordinary
oppose me, he didn't want me
00:08:39.26\00:08:41.76
to follow the truth. But
finally, God reached him and
00:08:41.76\00:08:46.30
he decided to
listen to the radio.
00:08:46.30\00:08:47.96
Then he also gave
his heart to Jesus.
00:08:49.03\00:08:50.83
Can you introduce
me to your brother
00:08:52.20\00:08:53.40
that we might talk a
little bit? Yes, he can.
00:08:53.40\00:09:00.20
Well, let's go. Here
the radio wave of AWR God
00:09:00.80\00:09:09.00

Here is another story
of hope from Adventist
00:10:08.10\00:10:10.96
World Radio. Zana
pressed her ear tightly against
00:10:11.53\00:10:15.10
the radio speaker.
The volume must be as low
00:10:15.10\00:10:17.80
as possible, so her
parents wouldn't hear.
00:10:17.80\00:10:20.33
They would be so
ashamed to find her listening
00:10:20.33\00:10:22.80
to Adventist World
Radio. Christianity was looked
00:10:22.80\00:10:26.63
down upon in the
Middle Eastern country and
00:10:26.63\00:10:29.23
conversion from Islam
would be totally unacceptable.
00:10:29.23\00:10:32.33
Yet, she couldn't stop
listening. Zana cherish the
00:10:32.33\00:10:36.50
programs, messages
of love and forgiveness.
00:10:36.50\00:10:39.20
She even bought a Bible,
which she read late at night
00:10:39.20\00:10:43.16
after her parents were
asleep. Everyday she prayed
00:10:43.16\00:10:47.33
that God would give
her the strength to be
00:10:47.33\00:10:49.30
a Christian and to
tell her family and friends
00:10:49.30\00:10:52.16
about Jesus.
Adventist World Radio shares the
00:10:52.16\00:10:58.00
hope of Christ with millions
of people everyday in their
00:10:58.00\00:11:02.06
own languages. For
more information visit
00:11:02.06\00:11:05.00
www.awr.org. Cow pie is
not what you usually think
00:11:05.00\00:11:14.33
of is a great commodity,
but in many countries it's
00:11:14.33\00:11:16.43
very useful. You see
they gathered it altogether
00:11:16.43\00:11:18.80
compressed it with hay,
put little against the building
00:11:18.80\00:11:23.03
to let it dry
and it becomes fuel.
00:11:23.03\00:11:25.46
A very important commodity
to cook all their food,
00:11:25.46\00:11:29.13
very little wood fuel
around that they can actually
00:11:29.13\00:11:32.06
utilize, so it
becomes very important.
00:11:32.06\00:11:34.90
I rather not though.
Over 80 percent of Ethiopia's
00:11:36.23\00:11:43.63
population lives in rural areas,
00:11:43.63\00:11:45.80
where agriculture and
the herding of cattle and
00:11:45.80\00:11:48.26
goats fill their daily
lives. They have very closely
00:11:48.26\00:11:53.23
knit family units and
most children remain with
00:11:53.23\00:11:56.13
their parents until
marriage. Everyone including
00:11:56.13\00:12:00.06
children as young as 4
years old are given the huge
00:12:00.06\00:12:03.03
responsibility to tend and
herd the family's livestock.
00:12:03.03\00:12:06.50
The overwhelming
majority in the Islands are poor
00:12:08.00\00:12:10.16
farming households. They
grow their own subsistence
00:12:10.16\00:12:13.86
grain. The grass is
grown as far as for cattle and
00:12:13.86\00:12:17.73
is also used as a component
in a Dobie construction.
00:12:17.73\00:12:20.56
Most of their energy is
focused upon where the next
00:12:22.30\00:12:24.63
meal will come from.
So in comparison education
00:12:24.63\00:12:28.06
has little importance.
With everyone tending to the
00:12:28.06\00:12:32.23
land and animals it's
no surprise that only 38
00:12:32.23\00:12:34.83
percent of the
population is literate because
00:12:34.83\00:12:39.13
all the children
help the families,
00:12:39.13\00:12:40.63
only 50 percent of
them attend primary school.
00:12:40.63\00:12:43.96
The older children
are expected to carry much
00:12:44.96\00:12:47.26
of the burden, which
means only 12 percent
00:12:47.26\00:12:49.60
of them ever have
the opportunity to attend
00:12:49.60\00:12:52.20
secondary schools.
If every child under
00:12:52.20\00:12:55.23
16 was forced to attend
school almost half of the
00:12:55.23\00:12:58.66
country's entire population
would be attending classes.
00:12:58.66\00:13:02.20
It's good to meet
you. I was talking
00:13:15.30\00:13:16.50
with your brother.
Tell me your story.
00:13:16.50\00:13:23.40
I understand that you
hated what your brother
00:13:23.40\00:13:26.23
was doing
originally listening to AWR?
00:13:26.23\00:13:28.56
My brother had heard
the message from the radio
00:13:31.90\00:13:34.26
and came to me and asked
me to go with him to Church.
00:13:34.26\00:13:37.50
But at that time I was
serving another religion
00:13:38.40\00:13:41.10
and I completely
hated this idea and refused.
00:13:41.10\00:13:45.43
You said your brother was crazy.
00:13:46.30\00:13:47.40
You want nothing to do with.
00:13:47.83\00:13:48.80
I was angry because
I thought my brother
00:13:50.50\00:13:52.46
was going to disturb the
tradition of our religion,
00:13:52.46\00:13:55.36
so I thought we
should dismiss him from our
00:13:55.36\00:13:58.00
religion, but
eventually I accepted a message
00:13:58.00\00:14:01.06
I heard from AWR and
I accepted Jesus Christ
00:14:01.06\00:14:04.93
and was Baptized and
now I am also encouraging
00:14:04.93\00:14:09.26
others to accept
Jesus. They God worked on your
00:14:09.26\00:14:12.06
heart and changed you.
My brother cannot read or
00:14:12.06\00:14:17.40
understand the Bible, so
I began to study the Bible
00:14:17.40\00:14:20.83
and listen to the radio
with him then I was convinced
00:14:20.83\00:14:24.50
so I took my brother
and my family to the Church.
00:14:24.50\00:14:27.76
Once you believe that
AWR was a true message?
00:14:28.90\00:14:31.30
What did you do next?
After accepting the truth
00:14:31.30\00:14:38.30
that I heard on AWR, I
decided to become an Adventist.
00:14:38.30\00:14:42.16
I started having many
problems. When I went to visit
00:14:42.16\00:14:45.70
my family I was persecuted,
and was even put in prison
00:14:45.70\00:14:49.43
for two days. But I still
follow Jesus Christ because
00:14:49.43\00:14:53.03
I believe his
truth. Did you share this
00:14:53.03\00:14:56.40
truth with anyone
else? So many people accepted
00:14:56.40\00:15:01.46
the truth after I
shared the message with them.
00:15:01.46\00:15:03.96
Have other people
accepted the truth?
00:15:04.90\00:15:06.36
Even while I was in
prison many accepted.
00:15:10.10\00:15:12.90
I've even talked to the
governor of my land about
00:15:14.00\00:15:16.60
serious considering religion
and that it is an honest,
00:15:16.60\00:15:20.30
faith, and is the
truth. After that many people
00:15:20.30\00:15:24.10
listened to my
witnessing and many of them
00:15:24.10\00:15:27.00
are accepting Christ.
So, because of his testimony
00:15:27.00\00:15:30.10
many more people are
looking the soon coming
00:15:30.10\00:15:32.36
of Jesus Christ.
Yes, I am excited
00:15:32.36\00:15:36.03
that they are waiting for
the second coming of Christ.
00:15:36.03\00:15:38.40
Amen, well, I
understand you talk about prison
00:15:39.30\00:15:41.63
that someone else here
today, I want to talk to too
00:15:41.63\00:15:43.56
that spent quite
bit of time in prison.
00:15:43.56\00:15:46.13
So let's go visit
him, right now, shall we.
00:15:46.13\00:15:47.66
So thank you brother.
I got to grab that hand.
00:15:47.66\00:15:51.13
And thank you for
sharing. Running water is almost
00:15:51.13\00:16:08.40
non-existent. Many
villages have a central well
00:16:08.40\00:16:11.80
where people gather
daily to fill any container
00:16:11.80\00:16:14.60
they can find to
meet their daily needs.
00:16:14.60\00:16:17.00
Irrigation of crops if
done at all is done by hands.
00:16:17.00\00:16:21.46
Eating from individual
plates strikes Ethiopians
00:16:53.80\00:16:56.10
as bizarre and
wasteful. Food is always shared
00:16:56.10\00:16:59.96
on a single plate
without any eating utensils.
00:16:59.96\00:17:03.13
The national staple and
base of almost every meal
00:17:05.26\00:17:07.86
is injera. It is spread
out like large thin pancake
00:17:07.86\00:17:12.20
bread, slightly
bitter. It goes well with a ray
00:17:12.20\00:17:16.03
of spicy foods. The
large thin pancake is made
00:17:16.03\00:17:20.63
of teff flour. Teff is an
intriguing grain, ancient,
00:17:20.63\00:17:24.60
minute in size and
packed with nutrition.
00:17:24.60\00:17:27.50
It is believed to have
originated in Ethiopia between
00:17:27.50\00:17:31.20
4000 and 1000 BC. It is
grown primarily as a cereal
00:17:31.20\00:17:36.50
crop, where it is
ground into flour,
00:17:36.50\00:17:38.50
fermented for three
days then made into injera.
00:17:38.50\00:17:42.23
According to the
Ethiopian Orthodox Church
00:17:44.80\00:17:47.06
Wednesday's and
Friday's are the traditional
00:17:47.06\00:17:49.70
fasting days when no
animal products are supposed
00:17:49.70\00:17:53.26
to be eaten. Hello
Alamu, it's good to see you.
00:17:53.26\00:17:59.60
I understand you were in prison.
00:18:04.10\00:18:05.93
You were that bad of man.
00:18:05.93\00:18:07.80
Because of many problems
in my life I went to prison.
00:18:10.20\00:18:12.60
While in prison, I was
very restricted and could
00:18:13.80\00:18:16.16
not go anywhere. But
he looks like a nice man.
00:18:16.16\00:18:18.90
He has got a smile. How
did he end up in prison?
00:18:18.90\00:18:20.90
The devil has many
ways of tempting people into
00:18:24.03\00:18:26.26
making bad decisions.
Mine was drinking alcohol.
00:18:26.26\00:18:29.60
Oh, so because of
alcohol some of the reason
00:18:30.40\00:18:32.90
you ended up in
prison. One reason was because
00:18:32.90\00:18:38.26
I use alcohol, but the
main reason was because
00:18:38.26\00:18:41.66
I was not the very wise person.
00:18:41.66\00:18:43.23
But you are not in
prison and I saw you earlier
00:18:44.86\00:18:46.93
today in the
village carrying a Bible.
00:18:46.93\00:18:48.70
What happened
tell me that story?
00:18:49.73\00:18:51.06
When I was in prison
we used to listen to many
00:18:54.06\00:18:56.10
radio stations. One
day, while I was looking for
00:18:56.10\00:18:59.13
the news I found
AWR program and was
00:18:59.13\00:19:02.70
interested in what I
heard. So you were tuning to the
00:19:02.70\00:19:06.23
news or something
else and you accidentally
00:19:06.23\00:19:08.96
came across the AWR.
Yes, I knew when I was
00:19:08.96\00:19:15.80
listening to AWR
that was the word of God.
00:19:15.80\00:19:18.46
They spoke about the
God and the Christian life.
00:19:19.50\00:19:21.36
I continued listening
and after I got out of prison
00:19:22.56\00:19:25.43
I decide I
wanted a Christian life.
00:19:26.66\00:19:28.63
I went home and
search for the Church,
00:19:29.83\00:19:31.43
but there was no Church around.
00:19:31.43\00:19:32.80
God reached right
down through that prison
00:19:33.80\00:19:36.46
and spoke to you through
the radio. Is that correct?
00:19:36.46\00:19:39.63
Yes, you are right.
God spoke to me through
00:19:43.10\00:19:45.60
the radio. And I was
willing to accept the truth.
00:19:45.60\00:19:48.66
After coming back
home, I asked so many people
00:19:50.13\00:19:52.16
if there was a Church,
but there was none to be
00:19:52.16\00:19:55.36
found. Then I heard
there was an evangelist around.
00:19:55.36\00:19:58.80
I found him and joined
him and he began teaching
00:20:00.06\00:20:03.20
me the Bible. From
then I've studied with him.
00:20:03.20\00:20:06.60
Now my home is
whatever we study the Bible.
00:20:07.90\00:20:09.83
Did you share your
faith with anybody else?
00:20:10.80\00:20:12.93
It has been a short time
since I became a Christian,
00:20:15.63\00:20:18.16
but yes, I've
shared with many people.
00:20:19.50\00:20:21.16
You just making waves, I
love it. Now I understand
00:20:22.56\00:20:26.66
that you shared also
with many family members.
00:20:26.66\00:20:29.30
All of my family
has accepted the truth
00:20:31.60\00:20:33.43
and we worship together.
00:20:34.20\00:20:35.40
But the group
here has grown so big.
00:20:36.43\00:20:38.26
There was no Church,
but I understand there
00:20:38.26\00:20:40.60
is a lady here who
got touched her heart.
00:20:40.60\00:20:42.80
Brother I want to
thank you so much.
00:20:43.86\00:20:45.20
It's good to meet you.
I am glad that you are out
00:20:45.20\00:20:46.80
of prison and you are
on your way to heaven.
00:20:46.80\00:20:48.33
I think a lady is here.
Let's go talk with her now about
00:20:48.33\00:20:51.33
what happened with this
massive group of people.
00:20:51.33\00:20:53.83
As you can see AWR is
frontline mission radio.
00:21:00.46\00:21:03.56
Our first priority is to
travel where missionaries
00:21:04.50\00:21:06.96
cannot go. We
broadcast thousands of hours
00:21:06.96\00:21:10.53
each day in 70 major
languages in the world.
00:21:10.53\00:21:13.30
AWR has the capability
and capacity of blanketing
00:21:13.30\00:21:17.40
almost 80 percent of
the world's population.
00:21:17.40\00:21:19.80
Not only to re-broadcast
via short wave radio,
00:21:20.80\00:21:23.20
but our signal is on
over 1000 FM and AM stations
00:21:24.16\00:21:27.70
around the world as well.
Our broadcast subscribers,
00:21:27.70\00:21:31.16
internet users,
satellite downlinks are
00:21:31.16\00:21:33.66
growing rapidly, evidenced
by the hundred thousand
00:21:33.66\00:21:37.00
plus e-mails, letters,
and phone calls we receive
00:21:37.00\00:21:40.46
each and every year. Yes,
AWR is your mission radio.
00:21:40.46\00:21:44.76
No walls and no
border for AWR that means
00:21:45.56\00:21:48.40
change lives and
change hearts around the world
00:21:48.40\00:21:50.80
because God is
using the airways of AWR
00:21:50.80\00:21:54.36
to reach people everywhere.
00:21:54.36\00:21:55.83
Here is another story
of hope from Adventist
00:22:00.50\00:22:03.33
World Radio. My
name is Benjamin Schoun
00:22:03.33\00:22:06.10
and I am the president
of Adventist World Radio.
00:22:06.10\00:22:08.43
Everyday listeners
around the America tune
00:22:09.36\00:22:11.93
into Clinica Abierta
quite possibly our most popular
00:22:11.93\00:22:15.33
program. It's a live
Spanish language program
00:22:15.33\00:22:18.56
featuring real doctors
answering listener phone
00:22:18.56\00:22:22.03
calls and e-mails. The
goal is to provide simple,
00:22:22.03\00:22:25.46
practical, medical principles
to people who often don't
00:22:25.46\00:22:29.06
live close to a
hospital or can't afford to see
00:22:29.06\00:22:32.16
a physician.
Listener response has been
00:22:32.16\00:22:34.73
tremendous. Each
program receives far more
00:22:34.73\00:22:37.63
questions then we can
answer in one broadcast.
00:22:37.63\00:22:40.13
It's part of our
effort to meet the physical
00:22:40.90\00:22:42.90
as well as the spiritual
needs of our listeners.
00:22:42.90\00:22:45.96
Adventist World Radio
shares the hope of Christ
00:22:48.13\00:22:51.20
with millions of
people everyday in their own
00:22:51.96\00:22:54.66
languages. For more information
00:22:54.66\00:22:56.66
visit:
www.awr.org. Are you sinking?
00:22:56.66\00:23:06.86
I understand because
of you all of these people
00:23:11.63\00:23:15.50
now have a Church.
Tell me how that happened?
00:23:15.50\00:23:18.46
I was following
another religion before,
00:23:24.00\00:23:25.83
but then one day a
guests came to my house
00:23:25.83\00:23:28.90
with their pastor and
they began sharing with me
00:23:28.90\00:23:31.36
about God. I told
them I was also religious
00:23:31.36\00:23:34.73
and that I know God.
They continued to tell me
00:23:34.73\00:23:37.60
the truth from the
Bible and then you should
00:23:37.60\00:23:39.80
accept and follow
all of God's truth.
00:23:39.80\00:23:42.13
Not just some other.
I asked them to continue
00:23:42.83\00:23:45.26
sharing with me all these
truths. And after they told
00:23:45.26\00:23:48.73
me I accepted them and
gave my heart to Jesus.
00:23:48.73\00:23:51.33
Eventually, I heard
there were some people they
00:23:52.93\00:23:55.06
had become Christians
by listening to Adventist
00:23:55.06\00:23:57.53
World Radio program,
and I knew they didn't
00:23:57.53\00:24:00.63
have a Church so
I gave them my house
00:24:00.63\00:24:02.73
to worship in. You
gave them your entire home,
00:24:02.73\00:24:06.46
just turned over
your home to other people.
00:24:07.03\00:24:09.36
I was so happy when I
heard the truth that I wanted
00:24:12.06\00:24:14.86
others to hear them also.
So, I gave my home entirely
00:24:14.86\00:24:18.90
for others to worship
and spread the message
00:24:18.90\00:24:21.50
of Jesus. Would you mind
taking me and showing me,
00:24:21.50\00:24:24.90
which home is yours
and which is Church now.
00:24:24.90\00:24:26.76
Yes, I can show you.
Then we do that right now?
00:24:28.40\00:24:30.40
Yes, we can. Let's
go, let's check it out.
00:24:33.36\00:24:35.93
Imagine the power of God
to speak to a human heart.
00:24:45.40\00:24:48.50
When the person hears
God's voice they respond this
00:24:49.60\00:24:52.26
is the truth. I want
to share this message with
00:24:52.26\00:24:55.53
everyone and so it
happens they tell another person
00:24:55.53\00:24:58.96
and still another.
Those people in turn do the
00:24:58.96\00:25:02.00
same thing in rapidly
on entire villages looking
00:25:02.00\00:25:05.63
for the soon
coming of Jesus Christ.
00:25:05.63\00:25:07.80
That's really making waves.
00:25:07.80\00:25:10.20
We are broadcasting
by short-wave radio.
00:25:20.40\00:25:22.33
This is Adventist
World Radio in action.
00:25:26.50\00:25:28.73
In fact, this is the
gospel commission in action.
00:25:28.73\00:25:32.03
One person hears a radio
program and here something
00:25:33.10\00:25:36.76
that catches his attention,
believes that's biblical
00:25:36.76\00:25:39.90
and from God and he
decides to share first with
00:25:39.90\00:25:43.10
his family and then with others.
00:25:43.10\00:25:44.83
And when several of them
begin to believe together
00:25:44.83\00:25:47.83
they want to come
together and study and worship.
00:25:47.83\00:25:50.80
And so they
decide to form a Church.
00:25:51.36\00:25:53.03
All of these beautiful
people are the result of that
00:25:53.83\00:25:56.86
one effort. Jesus
wants us to do this over
00:25:56.86\00:26:00.66
and over and over again
until people in the entire
00:26:00.66\00:26:04.60
world have heard
the gospel message,
00:26:04.60\00:26:07.26
so Jesus can come.
That's AWR mission,
00:26:07.26\00:26:11.10
that's what we want to
keep doing over and over
00:26:11.90\00:26:14.90
again and you can help
us fulfill that mission.
00:26:14.90\00:26:18.06
It's so nice to have been
able to meet these people.
00:26:18.76\00:26:21.60
As you can tell AWR is
an exciting ministry making
00:26:28.70\00:26:31.33
waves around the world.

00:26:52.63\00:26:54.46
adventure because around the
00:26:54.46\00:26:55.80
world AWR is making waves.
00:26:55.80\00:26:58.33
