Jesus said follow
me and I will make you
00:00:01.96\00:00:03.46
fishers of men.
Today is a wonderful day
00:00:03.46\00:00:06.23
because there are
many people that are caught
00:00:06.23\00:00:08.00
in the gospel net,
stay tuned to find out more.
00:00:08.00\00:00:10.90
Dar es Salaam
meaning "House of Peace"
00:00:48.06\00:00:50.06
in Arabic is the
largest city in Tanzania.
00:00:50.06\00:00:52.96
It is also the
country's richest city and a
00:00:53.46\00:00:56.00
regionally
important economic center.
00:00:56.00\00:00:58.20
The region has a
population of over 2.5 million.'
00:00:58.50\00:01:01.80
The Sultan of
Zanzibar who needed a port on
00:01:04.26\00:01:06.43
mainland founded the
city in the 19th century.
00:01:06.43\00:01:09.30
It is situated on a
massive natural harbor
00:01:09.60\00:01:12.03
on the eastern coast
of Africa on the beautiful
00:01:12.03\00:01:14.80
Indian Ocean, the
world's third largest ocean
00:01:14.80\00:01:17.96
covering about 20
percent of the earth's surface.
00:01:18.33\00:01:20.83
AWR is blanketing
major portions of Africa
00:01:22.40\00:01:25.36
in the languages of the people.
00:01:25.36\00:01:26.80
Our shortwave
broadcast are reaching the vast
00:01:27.10\00:01:29.70
countryside while our
FM stations are reaching
00:01:29.70\00:01:32.70
right into the concrete
jungles of major cities,
00:01:32.70\00:01:35.53
touching the hearts
and lives of city dwellers,
00:01:35.86\00:01:38.20
helping them discover the joy of
00:01:38.50\00:01:40.50
knowing the creator
God of the universe.
00:01:40.50\00:01:42.60
Helen, I know you
came a long ways to be
00:01:45.16\00:01:46.90
with us here at studio
today, and I appreciate
00:01:46.90\00:01:49.73
you very much. I
am also grateful.
00:01:49.73\00:01:53.03
And I know it's a
sacrifice for you because
00:01:53.66\00:01:55.73
I saw you had your
little child with you too.
00:01:55.73\00:01:57.46
So, your child has to be away
00:01:57.46\00:01:58.80
from you right
now as we talk. Yes.
00:01:58.80\00:02:01.60
How old your
baby? He is 2-years-old.
00:02:01.93\00:02:05.33
Okay. Now, have you
always been a Christian?
00:02:05.93\00:02:09.80
No. Would you mind
sharing with me a little bit
00:02:10.70\00:02:13.63
of what your
life was like before
00:02:13.63\00:02:16.60
you became a Christian?
00:02:16.60\00:02:17.70
When I was a
teenager, I used to go dancing
00:02:19.36\00:02:22.43
and I also smoked
cigarettes and I wasn't
00:02:22.43\00:02:25.36
keeping good company
and that's the reason
00:02:25.36\00:02:28.40
I got pregnant.
Then I moved here to the
00:02:28.40\00:02:33.50
city of Dar es Salaam
and moved in with my aunt
00:02:33.50\00:02:36.86
who is a
Seventh-day Adventist Christian,
00:02:37.43\00:02:39.80
that's when I
first heard the AWR
00:02:40.63\00:02:43.33
morning star FM
radio. When people sent in
00:02:43.33\00:02:47.30
their prayer
requests I would hear that
00:02:47.30\00:02:49.90
their prayers got answered.
00:02:49.90\00:02:51.46
You began listening
to testimonies of other
00:02:52.70\00:02:55.03
people answering
prayers. How do that
00:02:55.03\00:02:57.93
touch your life and heart?
00:02:57.93\00:02:59.43
My child used to
cry. He refused to eat and
00:03:02.90\00:03:06.26
he used to
vomit, it was horrible.
00:03:06.26\00:03:08.40
Then I heard people
getting answers to their
00:03:08.96\00:03:11.33
prayers on the
radio, so I sent my prayer
00:03:11.33\00:03:14.10
request in, I said
if God answers my prayer
00:03:14.10\00:03:17.53
I would believe in that God.
00:03:17.76\00:03:19.40
So you did send in
your prayer request
00:03:20.36\00:03:22.23
and God answer it for you.
00:03:22.23\00:03:23.73
I sent my prayer
request to the program
00:03:26.00\00:03:28.60
presenter and within
two days my child stopped
00:03:28.60\00:03:31.90
vomiting and he
developed in appetite
00:03:31.90\00:03:34.30
that's when I was convinced.
00:03:34.60\00:03:36.60
So that moment is
that when you really gave
00:03:37.56\00:03:39.60
your heart to God then?
00:03:39.60\00:03:40.80
Receiving an answer
to my pray and listening
00:03:41.60\00:03:44.90
to the radio
programs resulted in me giving
00:03:44.90\00:03:48.10
my life to Jesus,
then I was encouraged
00:03:48.10\00:03:51.36
to read the Bible on
my own. I was growing
00:03:51.36\00:03:54.23
progressively and
eventually because of the
00:03:54.23\00:03:56.63
radio ministry. I
decided to get baptized.
00:03:56.63\00:04:00.06
So please tell me
Helen now is the old person
00:04:00.80\00:04:03.43
different than the new person?
00:04:03.43\00:04:05.13
What's the new person
like in comparison to the
00:04:05.50\00:04:07.40
old person who
used to run around
00:04:07.40\00:04:08.86
and do all the bad things?
00:04:08.86\00:04:09.93
Now I'm at peace. I am
free and I believe that
00:04:11.46\00:04:15.06
my life is in
the hands of Jesus.
00:04:15.06\00:04:17.26
I know that even if I
die right now I'll die
00:04:18.16\00:04:21.20
in Christ and then he
comes again by his grace
00:04:21.20\00:04:24.90
I'll be translated
into the kingdom of glory.
00:04:24.90\00:04:27.76
Helen, thank you so
much for coming today,
00:04:28.70\00:04:30.46
I appreciate it greatly.
00:04:30.46\00:04:32.23
His father was a
Scottish minister born in
00:04:37.40\00:04:39.63
the year 1645 who was he?
00:04:39.63\00:04:41.70
The infamous Captain
Kidd, the buccaneer who
00:04:42.00\00:04:44.80
pillaged and
plundered, he fought against the
00:04:44.80\00:04:46.43
French who got
tremendous wealth by being
00:04:46.43\00:04:49.93
the notorious
pirate. He sailed these seas
00:04:49.93\00:04:52.76
back and forth,
Madagascar, Zanzibar,
00:04:52.76\00:04:56.13
over here to Tanzania.
What kind of a man was he?
00:04:56.46\00:05:00.76
Well, we may never know
exactly but we know that
00:05:00.76\00:05:03.93
he was hanged in the
year 1701 and that was the
00:05:03.93\00:05:06.26
end of his
pillaging and his plundering.
00:05:06.26\00:05:08.50
Recently they think
they discovered his ship,
00:05:09.13\00:05:11.73
the Adventurer, not
too far off the coast
00:05:11.73\00:05:14.26
the Madagascar. We
are going to hopefully
00:05:14.26\00:05:16.80
checkout some of
these areas soon and let you
00:05:16.80\00:05:19.36
know little bit
more about Captain Kidd.
00:05:19.36\00:05:21.16
As you can see AWR is
frontline mission radio.
00:05:23.30\00:05:26.83
Our first priority is to
travel where missionaries
00:05:27.46\00:05:30.13
cannot go. We
broadcast thousands of hours
00:05:30.13\00:05:33.80
each day in seventy
major languages of the world.
00:05:33.80\00:05:36.53
AWR has the capability
and capacity of blanketing
00:05:37.40\00:05:40.63
almost 80 percent of
the world's population.
00:05:40.63\00:05:43.10
Not only do we
broadcast via shortwave radio,
00:05:43.80\00:05:46.36
but our signal is
on over 1000 FM and AM
00:05:47.00\00:05:50.30
stations around
the world as well.
00:05:50.30\00:05:52.30
Our podcast
subscribers, Internet users,
00:05:52.66\00:05:55.40
satellite downlinks
are growing rapidly,
00:05:55.70\00:05:58.10
evidenced by the
hundred thousand plus e-mails.
00:05:58.50\00:06:01.16
letters and
phone calls we receive
00:06:01.16\00:06:03.66
each and every year.
00:06:03.66\00:06:05.13
Yes, AWR is your mission radio.
00:06:05.13\00:06:08.40
No walls and no
borders. For AWR that means
00:06:08.40\00:06:11.56
changed lives and changed hearts
00:06:11.56\00:06:13.16
around the world,
because God is using
00:06:13.16\00:06:15.70
the airways of AWR to
reach people everywhere.
00:06:15.93\00:06:19.23
Here is another
story of hope from
00:06:23.33\00:06:26.03
Adventist World Radio.
00:06:26.03\00:06:27.83
My name is Benjamin Schoun,
00:06:27.83\00:06:29.43
president of
Adventist World Radio.
00:06:29.43\00:06:31.50
We've been amazed by
God's work in Afghanistan.
00:06:32.03\00:06:35.10
Recently a relief
worker told me that many
00:06:35.36\00:06:37.86
Afghanis have great interest in
00:06:37.86\00:06:40.00
learning about
Christ, but are afraid to
00:06:40.00\00:06:42.23
purchase Bibles,
instead they listened
00:06:42.23\00:06:44.83
to Christian radio programs.
00:06:44.83\00:06:46.60
Adventist World Radio
broadcast to Afghanistan
00:06:47.00\00:06:50.00
in the Dari, Uyghur,
and Arabic languages,
00:06:50.33\00:06:53.20
allowing us to
reach a large number of
00:06:53.86\00:06:55.86
the population,
the response has been
00:06:55.86\00:06:58.33
incredible, just
one example is a letter
00:06:58.33\00:07:01.30
we received from an
orphaned teenage refugee
00:07:01.30\00:07:03.93
saying Jesus is now the hope
00:07:03.93\00:07:06.40
I came to in my sea of pain.
00:07:06.40\00:07:08.76
How can I be become a Christian?
00:07:08.76\00:07:10.93
Adventist World
Radio shares the hope
00:07:12.20\00:07:15.00
of Christ with
millions of people everyday,
00:07:15.00\00:07:18.20

information visit www.awr.org.
00:07:18.50\00:07:22.76
Sabina, how long
have you listened to
00:07:25.43\00:07:27.00
our FM radio station?
00:07:27.00\00:07:28.30
I started listening last year.
00:07:29.30\00:07:31.23
Now I understand you
didn't always not only
00:07:32.03\00:07:35.23
listen but your
grandmother was a Muslim
00:07:35.23\00:07:39.56
and you've studied a
little of her religion too.
00:07:39.56\00:07:43.56
Yes. We had a few
moments to talk before
00:07:44.40\00:07:47.53
you sat down,
you've told me something
00:07:47.53\00:07:49.70
about a particular
program that really
00:07:49.70\00:07:52.96
attracted your
attention. Would you tell me
00:07:52.96\00:07:54.83
what program that was?
00:07:54.83\00:07:56.03
There is a program
that deals with the Muslim
00:07:58.50\00:08:00.83
culture and that's
what originally captive me.
00:08:00.83\00:08:04.60
So it's one of
our programs that is
00:08:04.96\00:08:06.70
explaining God to
the Muslim population,
00:08:06.70\00:08:10.96
that's the one
that attracted you?
00:08:10.96\00:08:12.50
I have been moved by
the way the radio presenter
00:08:13.23\00:08:16.03
compared the Bible and the Quran
00:08:16.03\00:08:18.20
and how through the comparisons
00:08:18.20\00:08:20.16
the truth of God would be in it.
00:08:20.16\00:08:21.80
That began to touch
your heart and how have
00:08:22.33\00:08:25.30
you changed then
because of listening?
00:08:25.30\00:08:27.93
The radio programs have
really influenced my life
00:08:30.16\00:08:33.30
to the extent that my entire
00:08:33.30\00:08:35.16
attitude has
changed. Before I disliked to
00:08:35.16\00:08:38.53
reading the Bible but
now because of the radio
00:08:38.53\00:08:40.93
programs I really
enjoy studying the Bible.
00:08:40.93\00:08:44.16
I try my best every morning
00:08:44.70\00:08:46.40
to tune to morning star radio
00:08:46.40\00:08:48.60
so I can listen
to the Bible study.
00:08:48.60\00:08:50.73
Sabina, I want to
thank you so much for
00:08:51.76\00:08:54.43
coming today and
sharing because many
00:08:54.43\00:08:56.40
people are going to
hear your testimony.
00:08:56.40\00:08:58.16
Other people will
understand that the
00:08:58.40\00:09:00.13
Holy Spirit's
working in hearts and lives
00:09:00.13\00:09:02.70
around the
world, changing people,
00:09:02.70\00:09:04.20
getting ready
for his soon return.
00:09:04.20\00:09:05.90
Well, we're
heading now to the harbor
00:09:08.90\00:09:10.16
here in Dar es
Salaam. It's a huge harbor,
00:09:10.16\00:09:12.73
a lot of shipping
industry, a lot of boats
00:09:12.73\00:09:14.80
coming from all over the world.
00:09:14.80\00:09:16.03
It used to be the
capital but apparently
00:09:16.33\00:09:18.70
no longer is, they
moved it, but I understand
00:09:18.70\00:09:21.20
that the politicians
want to leave because
00:09:21.20\00:09:23.00
this is where the
money is centered.
00:09:23.00\00:09:24.50
It's a beautiful
harbor, beautiful area
00:09:24.96\00:09:27.03
but we're on our next adventure.
00:09:27.53\00:09:29.03
More recently the
east coast of Africa
00:09:31.06\00:09:33.16
has been known for its pirates.
00:09:33.16\00:09:34.76
Off the coast of
Somalia and Kenya pirates seize
00:09:34.76\00:09:37.63
cargo ships,
holding the crew and cargo
00:09:37.63\00:09:39.73
for ransom but pirates in the
00:09:39.73\00:09:41.60
Indian Ocean are
really nothing new.
00:09:41.60\00:09:43.73
Not only did
pirates sail these water
00:10:12.26\00:10:14.53
300 years ago but
they still do it today.
00:10:14.53\00:10:16.90
In the old days it
used to spices and gold
00:10:18.26\00:10:20.53
and silver that caught
their eye and attention.
00:10:20.53\00:10:22.73
But today it's black
gold, it's the oil, it's cars,
00:10:23.10\00:10:26.50
its every other
kind of treasure,
00:10:26.50\00:10:28.00
but what they're looking
for today is just to take
00:10:28.46\00:10:30.93
control of the ship and then
00:10:30.93\00:10:32.63
get the ransom for it.
00:10:32.63\00:10:33.73
Right in these
water just north of us.
00:10:34.03\00:10:36.00
William Captain
Kidd born around 1645,
00:10:40.50\00:10:44.03
was a Scottish
sailor remembered for his
00:10:44.03\00:10:46.03
trial and execution
for piracy after returning
00:10:46.03\00:10:49.40
from a voyage to
the Indian Ocean.
00:10:49.40\00:10:51.20
Some modern
historians say his reputation
00:10:51.60\00:10:54.40
as a pirate is unjust.
00:10:54.40\00:10:56.16
They say that there
is evidence that Kidd
00:10:56.53\00:10:58.40
acted only as a
privateer. Privateers were often
00:10:58.40\00:11:01.76
regarded as pirates
but were authorized by a
00:11:01.76\00:11:04.50
country's
government to attack foreign
00:11:04.50\00:11:06.63
shipping during times of war.
00:11:06.63\00:11:08.60
Kidd's fame
springs largely from the
00:11:10.26\00:11:12.10
sensational circumstances
of his questioning before
00:11:12.10\00:11:14.70
the English Parliament
and the ensuing trial.
00:11:14.70\00:11:17.36
His actual plundering
on the high seas were both
00:11:18.13\00:11:20.73
less destructive and
less lucrative than those of
00:11:20.73\00:11:23.36
many other contemporary
pirates and privateers.
00:11:23.36\00:11:26.50
However, in March
1701, after a year in prison
00:11:27.36\00:11:31.03
at Newgate, England, a series of
00:11:31.03\00:11:33.13
Admiralty trials
ensured, Captain Kidd refused
00:11:33.13\00:11:36.40
to turn State's
evidence, his backers lost all
00:11:36.40\00:11:39.50
incriminating documents
so he was hung for murder
00:11:39.50\00:11:42.43
and piracy on May
23rd. His body was tarred
00:11:42.43\00:11:45.93
and hung in a cage
by the Thames River
00:11:45.93\00:11:48.10
where it remained
for several years as a
00:11:48.33\00:11:50.50
warning to all others
who would consider piracy.
00:11:50.50\00:11:53.10
You can sail the
seven seas but no matter
00:11:57.33\00:12:00.16
where you go, you will
find the airways of AWR.
00:12:00.16\00:12:03.10
I think of one lady
00:12:03.60\00:12:04.60
recently I was talking with,
00:12:04.60\00:12:05.90
who said she had
sailed for years.
00:12:05.90\00:12:07.70
She had become a Christian
00:12:09.03\00:12:10.56
at one point in her
life, but over time it had
00:12:10.56\00:12:13.26
dwindled and dwindled
until she no longer had a
00:12:13.26\00:12:15.46
relationship with
God. Then one night,
00:12:15.46\00:12:17.93
in the middle of
the night about well,
00:12:17.93\00:12:19.63
actually it was about
4 O'clock in the morning
00:12:19.63\00:12:21.73
now watched on her
sail boat that becomes
00:12:21.73\00:12:24.70
so nerve racking, so
lonely, she turned on
00:12:24.70\00:12:27.16
the radio and all
of a sudden she heard a
00:12:27.16\00:12:29.30
Christian program
she listened, it was AWR
00:12:29.30\00:12:33.63
and she began
thinking about Jesus Christ.
00:12:33.63\00:12:36.23
She again
thought about I need to
00:12:36.23\00:12:38.73
become a Christian again.
00:12:38.73\00:12:40.13
When she got home she
began attending a church,
00:12:40.33\00:12:42.66
and recommitted her life to God.
00:12:42.90\00:12:44.70
Out here, in the
middle of the sea,
00:12:45.06\00:12:47.50
God found her
through the airways of AWR.
00:12:47.76\00:12:50.33
I mean you
actually work for AWR FM
00:12:52.76\00:12:55.50
here in the city,
is that right? Yes.
00:12:56.03\00:12:58.53
How long have you
work for the radio?
00:12:59.30\00:13:00.80
Seven months. And
what's your position there?
00:13:02.40\00:13:05.70
I am working as a reporter.
00:13:07.06\00:13:08.40
I stood on the beach Sabbath and
00:13:09.60\00:13:11.16
watched you being baptized.
00:13:11.16\00:13:12.46
How did that happen
from, you are already
00:13:12.46\00:13:15.20
working at the radio and then
00:13:15.20\00:13:17.33
you're baptized?
Tell me that story?
00:13:17.33\00:13:19.10
I was doing my field
work with morning star radio,
00:13:20.60\00:13:23.60
and by being there I was
influenced by Christians.
00:13:24.33\00:13:26.80
I made up my mind
to be a Christian.
00:13:27.40\00:13:29.40
Due to the radio
program influenced
00:13:30.00\00:13:31.93
and also due to my
work in the radio station
00:13:31.93\00:13:34.73
that belongs to Christians.
00:13:34.73\00:13:36.23
You, as you're doing
the programs you look
00:13:36.73\00:13:38.96
at them and you start
think this makes sense.
00:13:38.96\00:13:40.86
Is that what happened?
00:13:41.23\00:13:42.20
There are many
things I did know but since
00:13:46.30\00:13:48.86
I came into close contact with
00:13:48.86\00:13:51.03
Adventists and no more.
I believe I will continue
00:13:51.03\00:13:54.93
to grow in my
knowledge of the word of God.
00:13:54.93\00:13:57.56
So, radio works in more
ways than one, doesn't it?
00:13:58.70\00:14:01.30
Yes, the radio does a
great job towards the Lord.
00:14:02.20\00:14:05.66
Do you tell others to listen
00:14:06.20\00:14:07.43
to the radio programs?
00:14:07.43\00:14:08.60
Yes, there was not
that many people listening
00:14:10.23\00:14:13.40
to the radio
programs, I were to leave but
00:14:13.40\00:14:15.96
since I began working
with the radio station.
00:14:15.96\00:14:18.20
I have influenced
many others in my building
00:14:18.46\00:14:21.36
to tune to morning star radio.
00:14:21.36\00:14:23.73
Would it be correct
to say that you're the
00:14:24.40\00:14:26.13
happiest you've
ever been in your life?
00:14:26.13\00:14:28.00
Yes. I am very
happy now. Thanks brother.
00:14:28.93\00:14:34.10
Well, we almost arrived at the
00:14:37.43\00:14:39.03
exotic island of Zanzibar.
00:14:39.03\00:14:40.50
Well, the name
itself conjures up mystic
00:14:40.50\00:14:43.00
and mystery. Well,
let's go check it out.
00:14:43.00\00:14:44.73
Laying a few degrees
south of the Equator,
00:14:46.76\00:14:49.76
Zanzibar is only 25
miles off the coast of
00:14:49.76\00:14:52.00
Tanzania, East
Africa. A ferry ride away from
00:14:52.00\00:14:55.50
Dar es Salaam, this
jewel is nestled in the exotic
00:14:55.50\00:14:58.43
turquoise waters
of the Indian Ocean.
00:14:58.43\00:15:00.46
It holds an almost
legendary status among
00:15:00.76\00:15:03.43
travelers as an
exotic island paradise
00:15:03.43\00:15:05.96
blessed with palm
tree shores, timeless
00:15:05.96\00:15:08.60
fishing villages and
lush spice plantations.
00:15:08.60\00:15:11.53
It has an
identity all of its own.
00:15:11.80\00:15:14.10
It has been shaped
by a turbulent history
00:15:14.70\00:15:16.66
which abounds
with a colorful cast of
00:15:16.66\00:15:18.40
characters and
from slave traders and
00:15:18.40\00:15:20.50
sultans to
pirates and princesses.
00:15:20.50\00:15:22.73
Stone town is your
arrival port to one of
00:15:24.26\00:15:26.36
Africa's most
evocative locations with a
00:15:26.36\00:15:28.96
mesmerizing mix of influences
00:15:28.96\00:15:31.13
from the Indian subcontinent.
00:15:31.13\00:15:32.73
The Arabian
Peninsula, the African mainland
00:15:32.73\00:15:35.03
and a dash of Europe,
added for good measure.
00:15:35.30\00:15:37.53
The first recorded
visit to this area was by a
00:15:38.76\00:15:41.50
a Greek merchant
from Alexandria in 60 AD.
00:15:41.50\00:15:45.50
Now certainly a lot
of things have changed
00:15:46.10\00:15:48.10
well let me tell you the place
00:15:48.10\00:15:49.36
is still very, very
old. Oh they've added
00:15:49.36\00:15:52.66
wiring they've
added different things but
00:15:52.66\00:15:54.26
architecture
buildings seem ancient
00:15:54.26\00:15:56.70
according to the
my standards anyway.
00:15:56.70\00:15:58.53
Minorates,
graceful curve towers and
00:15:59.83\00:16:02.20
church steeples sore
about some of the courtyards.
00:16:02.20\00:16:04.86
Picturous narrow
streets are lying
00:16:05.20\00:16:06.93
with white wash building.
00:16:06.93\00:16:08.16
Many decorated with
elegant wooden doors
00:16:08.60\00:16:10.96
beckoning the beholder to
00:16:10.96\00:16:12.46
discover their hidden secrets.
00:16:12.46\00:16:14.26
Well, it's apparent
that you can get about
00:16:15.00\00:16:16.60
anything you
want here in spices.
00:16:16.60\00:16:18.26
It smells good, it's wonderful.
00:16:18.60\00:16:20.50
I can't wait to get home
00:16:20.50\00:16:21.46
and try some of them myself.
00:16:21.46\00:16:22.73
The dark narrow
passage ways of the
00:16:23.60\00:16:25.53
chaotic Darajani
market assaults the senses,
00:16:25.53\00:16:28.43
everywhere you turn
your nose is in hyper
00:16:28.73\00:16:31.63
drive experiencing
the pungent vanilla
00:16:31.63\00:16:34.10
bean mixing with
extraordinary spices all
00:16:34.10\00:16:37.30
collided with a
powerful smell of fresh fish.
00:16:37.30\00:16:40.03
The humanize are
dazzled by the clamor
00:16:40.30\00:16:42.60
of vendors parking their wares,
00:16:42.60\00:16:44.30
neatly arranged,
brightly color piles of fruit
00:16:44.66\00:16:47.36
and vegetables and
dozen of small shops selling
00:16:47.36\00:16:50.60
everything from
plastic tubs to auto parts.
00:16:50.60\00:16:54.10
Are these ripe?
Well let's see here.
00:16:56.30\00:17:02.46
There's a luscious fruit inside,
00:17:04.83\00:17:06.40
and at first it
almost tastes like a grape.
00:17:09.06\00:17:11.30
There is a seed
inside that you really don't
00:17:11.70\00:17:13.66
want to eat but the
nectar is, it's bitter
00:17:13.66\00:17:17.33
and it's sweet at
the same time or sour,
00:17:17.33\00:17:19.33
but it's, it's
wonderful. You get addicted.
00:17:19.60\00:17:22.03
Negwako, please
tell me a little bit
00:17:24.60\00:17:25.93
what you do in life,
00:17:25.93\00:17:27.13
what's your job is,
those type of things?
00:17:27.13\00:17:29.36
I was born in an
Adventist family, and I
00:17:34.56\00:17:37.33
grew up with a
Christian background.
00:17:37.33\00:17:39.33
But when I finished
my elementary education
00:17:40.10\00:17:42.53
I went to high
school at a Non-Adventist
00:17:42.83\00:17:45.60
boarding school that's where I
00:17:45.60\00:17:47.70
learned many evil
things. I started dancing,
00:17:47.70\00:17:51.03
I started drinking
alcohol and when I was in form
00:17:51.70\00:17:54.80
three I got
pregnant, and that stopped me
00:17:54.80\00:17:57.40
from continuing with my studies.
00:17:57.40\00:17:59.86
But I understand
you do have a good job
00:18:00.60\00:18:03.86
and you work with people?
00:18:04.20\00:18:05.70
I give counseling
services to teenagers,
00:18:07.20\00:18:10.16
to people who have HIV,
and I give counseling to
00:18:10.16\00:18:13.53
people who are living
in hard circumstances.
00:18:13.53\00:18:16.06
We've been traveling
quite a bit in Dar es Salaam.
00:18:16.46\00:18:19.33
There's traffic everywhere.
00:18:19.63\00:18:21.26
Someone told me that
if you live in Dar that
00:18:21.26\00:18:24.80
basically you spend a
lot of your life in the car.
00:18:24.80\00:18:27.13
I'm wondering do you listen
00:18:27.53\00:18:28.66
to the radio
programs in your car.
00:18:28.66\00:18:30.56
I listen to the
radio on my walkman while
00:18:32.36\00:18:35.50
I walk to work.
Wherever I go, I am listening to
00:18:35.50\00:18:39.46
it as much as I can,
and it has been a real
00:18:39.46\00:18:42.73
big source of comfort
for me because when I got
00:18:42.73\00:18:46.53
pregnant my
parents were very unhappy.
00:18:46.53\00:18:48.96
They would
segregate from my family.
00:18:49.83\00:18:52.23
Even more my
boyfriend deserted me
00:18:52.56\00:18:55.33
and I was left
alone to raise my baby.
00:18:55.70\00:18:58.03
I was scared and I even thought
00:18:58.53\00:19:00.56
about committing
suicide. But that's when the
00:19:00.56\00:19:03.30
radio became a great
source of comfort for me.
00:19:03.30\00:19:06.10
Are you saying that
basically because of the
00:19:07.36\00:19:10.00
radio, you didn't think
about suicide any longer,
00:19:10.00\00:19:14.16
and the message you
heard from the radio?
00:19:14.53\00:19:16.83
The AWR morning star
radio programs have been
00:19:18.96\00:19:23.13
a great source of comfort to me.
00:19:23.13\00:19:25.36
When I heard the
Christian songs and
00:19:25.70\00:19:27.93
spiritual talks, the
idea of committing suicide
00:19:27.93\00:19:30.96
faded away. I realized
that I don't need to die.
00:19:30.96\00:19:35.20
I just need to go to God
and ask him to forgive me
00:19:35.56\00:19:38.56
for my sins, and also to prepare
00:19:38.56\00:19:40.70
myself to raise my child.
00:19:40.70\00:19:42.50
So your whole
life has changed now?
00:19:43.10\00:19:44.90
These radio
programs have moved me to
00:19:46.60\00:19:50.16
even share my faith
with other people and
00:19:50.16\00:19:52.96
some of my friends
who were shared with
00:19:52.96\00:19:55.40
have surrendered
their lives to Jesus Christ.
00:19:55.40\00:19:57.90
For instance, I had
a friend from Denmark
00:19:58.60\00:20:00.60
whom I witnessed
to. Because of the radio
00:20:00.80\00:20:03.60
programs she has
decided to give her
00:20:03.60\00:20:05.63
life to Jesus Christ.
00:20:05.63\00:20:07.00
There may be
someone today watching
00:20:07.90\00:20:11.86
this right now who's given up,
00:20:11.86\00:20:13.53
who is ready to
give up, who maybe ready
00:20:13.73\00:20:16.16
to commit suicide too what would
00:20:16.16\00:20:17.66
you tell those people?
00:20:17.66\00:20:18.83
I would encourage them
not to give up their life.
00:20:21.50\00:20:24.26
Don't put your trust in man,
00:20:24.56\00:20:26.46
put your trust in God
and you have to listen
00:20:26.73\00:20:28.93
to this radio
programs for support because
00:20:28.93\00:20:31.96
you get Christian
music, spiritual studies,
00:20:31.96\00:20:34.66
and you will enriched
in your spiritual life
00:20:34.66\00:20:36.93
through Jesus Christ you
will find illusion of life.
00:20:37.83\00:20:40.80
That's good
counsel. Thank you so much.
00:20:41.96\00:20:44.40
We look forward to
seeing you in heaven,
00:20:44.70\00:20:46.36
and I know you are
going to have other
00:20:46.60\00:20:48.53
people with you that
you brought along too.
00:20:48.53\00:20:50.70
Amen. Thank you. Thanks you too.

Here is another
story of hope from
00:21:57.20\00:22:00.06
Adventist World Radio.
00:22:00.06\00:22:01.63
Berhanu could
not believe his ears.
00:22:01.63\00:22:04.43
A radio program in
Oromo his native language.
00:22:04.73\00:22:08.06
It was so rare. Yet,
there it was from a station
00:22:08.40\00:22:12.53
called Adventist World Radio.
00:22:12.53\00:22:14.56
Berhanu was so happy
with his new discovery
00:22:14.96\00:22:17.73
that he traveled to Addis Ababa
00:22:18.06\00:22:19.73
to see the station for himself.
00:22:19.73\00:22:21.66
After arriving Berhanu
had not a clue where to
00:22:22.66\00:22:26.23
find Adventist World
Radio in the massive city.
00:22:26.23\00:22:29.86
Miraculously though,
a stranger offered to
00:22:30.50\00:22:33.03
guide Berhanu to the station.
00:22:33.03\00:22:35.06
He couldn't believe his eyes.
00:22:35.53\00:22:37.03
Berhanu kept asking, is
this really the station?
00:22:37.66\00:22:40.93
Are you really the
people who speak about Christ.
00:22:41.50\00:22:44.36
Adventist World Radio
shares the hope of Christ
00:22:46.30\00:22:49.63

Foreign Language song
Amen. That was good ladies.
00:23:02.70\00:23:39.73
You know, they doesn't
get any better on this,
00:23:41.30\00:23:43.33
here on the
Sabbath afternoon of the
00:23:44.23\00:23:45.83
Indian Ocean with
baptism from people
00:23:45.83\00:23:48.26
who have accepted Jesus Christ
00:23:48.26\00:23:49.86
through the airways of AWR.
00:23:49.86\00:23:51.56
Join us now, this
is an exciting time.
00:23:52.60\00:23:54.80
I know the angel of
heaven are rejoicing too.
00:23:54.80\00:23:56.93
It never ceases
to amaze me how God
00:23:58.20\00:24:00.43
speaks to hearts and lives
00:24:00.43\00:24:02.10
through the waves of AWR.
00:24:02.10\00:24:03.56
He touches the
listeners in the exact manner
00:24:03.93\00:24:06.50
that will cause
them to respond to Him.
00:24:06.50\00:24:08.46
Our listeners today
are rejoicing in their
00:24:09.10\00:24:11.06
new found love of their
best friend, Jesus Christ.
00:24:11.06\00:24:14.63
God never rests and AWR
never quits broadcasting
00:24:15.33\00:24:18.86
the good news of
his love and salvation.
00:24:18.86\00:24:20.83
There is no doubt
that everyone gets excited
00:24:30.06\00:24:32.93
when there's a baptism
but there is just something
00:24:32.93\00:24:35.33
about the gathering
of the church family and
00:24:35.33\00:24:37.40
friends participating
in a baptism in the ocean.
00:24:37.40\00:24:40.30
And our baptism
in the Indian Ocean
00:24:41.36\00:24:43.36
was no exception.
00:24:43.36\00:24:44.80
Do you speak English Dana?
00:24:56.60\00:24:57.80
A little English, no English.
00:24:58.40\00:24:59.73
Okay, okay, I'll see if
I can find a translator.
00:25:00.06\00:25:02.30
We'll talk some more.
00:25:02.30\00:25:03.26
Daniel, I just
witnessed you being baptized,
00:25:05.40\00:25:07.66
it was exciting.
00:25:07.66\00:25:08.63
Have you always
been named Daniel?
00:25:08.63\00:25:11.30
No, I decided to take
this name after my baptism.
00:25:11.60\00:25:14.93
So you have a
whole new life. Yes.
00:25:15.23\00:25:18.70
What was your life
like before this time?
00:25:19.53\00:25:21.63
I used to live an evil life,
00:25:23.60\00:25:24.93
I smoke cigarette
and drank alcohol,
00:25:25.43\00:25:27.70
and I even used marijuana.
00:25:28.23\00:25:30.06
Were you always
a Christian or you
00:25:30.96\00:25:33.10
had Christian background?
00:25:33.10\00:25:34.53
No, I have never been a
Christian. I was a Muslim.
00:25:35.73\00:25:40.03
Really, but then
you heard the radio
00:25:41.53\00:25:44.20
and what happened?
00:25:45.00\00:25:46.20
When I heard the
radio program one day
00:25:47.86\00:25:50.30
evangelistic call
talks, I was moved continue
00:25:50.30\00:25:53.30
hearing and
responding to the message.
00:25:53.30\00:25:55.23
If you hadn't
listened to the AWR radio,
00:25:56.13\00:25:58.63
what do you think
would happen to your life?
00:25:58.96\00:26:00.76
If I didn't have
the chance to listen to
00:26:03.00\00:26:04.46
this Christian
radio broadcasting.
00:26:04.46\00:26:06.40
My life would have
gotten worse and worse.
00:26:06.93\00:26:09.40
I know
personally because years ago
00:26:10.10\00:26:12.30
I used to smoke
marijuana. Well, that's a drug
00:26:12.30\00:26:15.93
that you continually want it,
00:26:15.93\00:26:17.93
how did you quit? You just quit.
00:26:18.66\00:26:20.53
Formally I tried to
stop but I couldn't do it.
00:26:22.23\00:26:24.96
But this time God
gave me power and I
00:26:25.30\00:26:27.90
stopped smoking marijuana.
00:26:27.90\00:26:29.40
It is absolutely
the power of God.
00:26:29.80\00:26:31.80
No doubt about it. That is true.
00:26:31.80\00:26:34.50
It is the power of
God. Well, you've made a
00:26:34.83\00:26:37.23
good decision
just in time brother.
00:26:37.23\00:26:39.40
It's so good to
see you baptized today.
00:26:40.33\00:26:42.80
This is the beginning of a
00:26:43.46\00:26:44.50
wonderful life in the Lord.
00:26:44.50\00:26:45.76
In the book of
Matthew chapter 11,
00:26:49.06\00:26:51.20
Jesus says, Come to
Me, all of you who labor
00:26:51.20\00:26:55.03
and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
00:26:55.03\00:26:58.60
That's the answer that
comes through listening
00:26:59.33\00:27:01.90
to the radio programs
and these people heard that
00:27:01.90\00:27:05.03
answer as they
listened to radio and they
00:27:05.03\00:27:08.53
found hope, no
longer did one want to
00:27:08.53\00:27:11.26
commit suicide, the
lady's child was healed,
00:27:11.26\00:27:14.70
a person learned about God
00:27:15.36\00:27:17.20
and all that he has
to offer for the future.
00:27:17.20\00:27:19.96
That's what we're
all about. Join us at AWR
00:27:20.90\00:27:24.86
as we seek to
continue to bring this hope to
