One lady lying in bed
sick, what could she do.
00:00:01.96\00:00:04.40
She wanted to do
something for God
00:00:04.40\00:00:05.93
but she had no idea
what, she began to pray
00:00:05.93\00:00:08.60
and God gave her a
vision of what she could
00:00:08.60\00:00:10.86
do to touch an
entire tribe, stay tuned.
00:00:10.86\00:00:13.56
You got pellets here
and I happen to know that
00:00:49.60\00:00:51.40
I had a friend
that I saw him get a big
00:00:51.40\00:00:53.96
slobbery kiss one
time or something,
00:00:53.96\00:00:55.76
do they do that? Yeah,
they do that, actually..
00:00:55.76\00:00:58.33
Can you get them
to do that maybe?
00:00:58.33\00:00:59.66
Yeah, I will call her
Arlene, she is Arlene.
00:00:59.66\00:01:01.86
She is 15 years old and if brave
00:01:01.86\00:01:04.00
you wanna try a Giraffe kiss.
00:01:04.00\00:01:05.33
Sure I will try it.
Yeah, let me call her,
00:01:05.33\00:01:07.43
let me call Arlene.
Well, only if I could
00:01:07.43\00:01:08.40
wash it afterward.
Yeah, Arlene come on,
00:01:08.40\00:01:11.70
Arlene come on, Arlene, Arlene,
00:01:11.70\00:01:15.26
Arlene, come on
Arlene. She knows, yes,
00:01:15.26\00:01:21.06
I'm not gonna cooperate.
It must really puzzle some
00:01:21.06\00:01:30.50
of the scientists you
know that think that's
00:01:30.50\00:01:33.03
all about evolution
because what came first,
00:01:33.03\00:01:35.30
you know, the need
to stretch up to the
00:01:35.30\00:01:36.83
taller trees or all
the intricate valve system
00:01:36.83\00:01:40.43
that gets blood all the
way up there to the brain.
00:01:40.43\00:01:42.76
It's kind of
amazing makes you think.
00:01:42.76\00:01:46.26
Well, I may get a
giraffe kiss or not, we'll see.
00:01:48.23\00:01:51.40
In this episode
you'll discover several of
00:01:53.36\00:01:55.63
God's marvelous
creatures that lived
00:01:55.63\00:01:57.80
openly in the
Savannah's of Africa,
00:01:57.80\00:01:59.83
and how they cohabitate
with the Maasai people.
00:01:59.83\00:02:02.86
The Maasai have
always been special,
00:02:02.86\00:02:05.63
their bright red robes
set them apart visually.
00:02:05.63\00:02:08.50
Some warriors will tell
you that the red is worn
00:02:08.50\00:02:10.90
so that if they're wounded.
00:02:10.90\00:02:12.06
Their enemy will
not see the blood,
00:02:12.06\00:02:14.86
spear in hand, they're calm and
00:02:14.86\00:02:16.70
courageous
regardless of the danger.
00:02:16.70\00:02:19.50
The Maasai were the
dominating tribe at the
00:02:19.50\00:02:21.96
beginning at the 20th century.
00:02:21.96\00:02:23.90
They're one of
the very few tribes
00:02:23.90\00:02:25.73
who have retained
most of their traditions,
00:02:25.73\00:02:27.96
lifestyle and lore.
They have lived in harmony
00:02:27.96\00:02:32.10
with the rich ego
systems of East Africa
00:02:32.10\00:02:34.40
for centuries. They
have shared the land
00:02:34.40\00:02:36.76
with elephants,
giraffe, rhinos, and other
00:02:36.76\00:02:39.63
majestic wildlife.
They see themselves as
00:02:39.63\00:02:42.40
custodians of the
land. They have prayers to
00:02:42.40\00:02:45.13
the earth, thanking the
earth for sustaining them.
00:02:45.13\00:02:47.50
But once they learn of
the creator their prayers
00:02:47.50\00:02:49.96
are changed. Now
they're thankful that
00:02:49.96\00:02:51.93
the God of creation
has sustained them through
00:02:51.93\00:02:54.46
his creation. The
knowledge of a personal
00:02:54.46\00:02:57.96
creator only
increases their desire to care
00:02:57.96\00:03:00.33
for their
environment as a gift from God.
00:03:00.33\00:03:02.76
Hello, good to see
you. Foreign Language
00:03:04.96\00:03:10.23
It's so good to
see you today and
00:03:10.23\00:03:12.10
I understand because of you.
00:03:12.10\00:03:13.70
This young man's here
and many other people too.
00:03:13.70\00:03:16.33
Foreign Language
But I'd like you to
00:03:16.33\00:03:20.13
share some of
that story with me.
00:03:20.13\00:03:21.60
How did it all
begin? Foreign Language
00:03:21.60\00:03:24.73
When I move this
village I had a great
00:03:24.73\00:03:26.80
passion for
reaching people with the good
00:03:26.80\00:03:29.33
news of Jesus
Christ. But when I moved here
00:03:29.33\00:03:32.70
I got sick and my
plans were blocked,
00:03:32.70\00:03:35.63
and I realized
that I had to overcome
00:03:35.63\00:03:37.86
this challenges. My
heart began burning within me.
00:03:37.86\00:03:42.60
I cried to my Lord
and asked him to show me
00:03:42.60\00:03:46.20
how I can still work
for him while I was sick.
00:03:46.20\00:03:49.73
The Lord answered,
he gave me an idea.
00:03:49.73\00:03:53.30
I would take my
loud speaker and connect
00:03:53.30\00:03:56.66
it to a microphone
and then I will share the
00:03:56.66\00:03:59.73
Adventist World
Radio programs with the
00:03:59.73\00:04:02.36
entire village. My
only hope was to reach
00:04:02.36\00:04:05.73
many people. Did you
have a favorite program?
00:04:05.73\00:04:09.86
Foreign Language I
enjoyed the programs
00:04:09.86\00:04:14.30
on health. The
programs for youth
00:04:14.30\00:04:17.06
and the programs
on family health.
00:04:17.06\00:04:19.10
These programs
inspired me to move here and
00:04:19.10\00:04:22.23
share Jesus
Christ with many people.
00:04:22.23\00:04:24.90
Now the Lord spoke to
you and said here's a plan,
00:04:24.90\00:04:28.23
so please continue
with that plan now.
00:04:28.23\00:04:30.53
Foreign Language
After God gave me the
00:04:30.53\00:04:36.50
idea to use the
loud speaker to amplify
00:04:36.50\00:04:39.46
the programs I set my
plan into action originally
00:04:39.46\00:04:44.00
I had the speaker
amplified the radio
00:04:44.00\00:04:46.60
from inside my house
but after I started to
00:04:46.60\00:04:50.06
see the fruits of my
labor I built a platform
00:04:50.06\00:04:53.36
on the roof of my
house where I could set the
00:04:53.36\00:04:56.50
radio and teach the
people more effectively.
00:04:56.50\00:04:59.90
Let me ask you
if someone turned on
00:05:01.00\00:05:02.60
their radio loud
near my house and
00:05:02.60\00:05:04.40
blared it out on a
loud speaker I'd get upset
00:05:04.40\00:05:07.10
but apparently
people here don't get upset?
00:05:07.10\00:05:09.90
Foreign Language
The people who live
00:05:09.90\00:05:13.06
around me were
not unhappy with me
00:05:13.06\00:05:16.43
in fact they would
come closer trying to find
00:05:16.43\00:05:19.43
where the loud
voice was coming from.
00:05:19.43\00:05:21.76
By that time the
people did not have a
00:05:21.76\00:05:24.73
problem with this
because they enjoyed
00:05:24.73\00:05:27.26
the radio program.
After I built the platform
00:05:27.26\00:05:30.70
on my roof I amplified
the broadcast for around
00:05:30.70\00:05:34.60
one year. I felt a
sense of achievement
00:05:34.60\00:05:38.33
because even though
I was sick and wasn't
00:05:38.33\00:05:41.30
able to move I was
still able to reach people
00:05:41.30\00:05:44.83
through amplifying the messages.
00:05:44.83\00:05:47.70
You say you were
sick, what did you have
00:05:47.70\00:05:49.86
that you couldn't
move? Foreign Language
00:05:49.86\00:05:53.66
The weather
conditions where I live now are
00:05:53.66\00:05:56.00
much different then
where I lived before
00:05:56.00\00:05:59.03
so when I moved
the climate here caused
00:05:59.03\00:06:01.33
my Malaria to flare
up that's sickness slowed
00:06:01.33\00:06:05.16
me down and I
couldn't be as aggressive as
00:06:05.16\00:06:08.20
I wanted to be.
Where you praying
00:06:08.20\00:06:10.36
at this time that
someone might listen
00:06:10.36\00:06:12.23
and their hearts
would be changed?
00:06:12.23\00:06:14.03
Foreign Language I
was so happy because
00:06:14.03\00:06:17.60
God answered my prayers God made
00:06:17.60\00:06:20.33
me feels such joy
and I wished I could jump
00:06:20.33\00:06:23.40
with joy. How did
God answer your prayer?
00:06:23.40\00:06:26.30
Foreign Language
I had prayed that by
00:06:26.30\00:06:30.50
amplifying AWR people
would be drawn to Jesus
00:06:30.50\00:06:34.86
and now they are many
who have as a result of
00:06:34.86\00:06:38.50
the loud speaker
project. So this young man this
00:06:38.50\00:06:41.90
morning that was
coming down the pathway from
00:06:41.90\00:06:43.70
his village. He's
one of the first person
00:06:43.70\00:06:46.20
that listened? Foreign Language
00:06:46.20\00:06:48.70
This man is the
first person who listen to
00:06:48.70\00:06:51.90
AWR through my loud speaker.
00:06:51.90\00:06:54.50
He has continued to share with
00:06:54.50\00:06:56.33
many people in this village.
00:06:56.33\00:06:58.80
As you can see AWR is
frontline mission radio.
00:07:00.73\00:07:04.56
Our first
priority is to travel where
00:07:04.56\00:07:06.63
missionaries
cannot go. We broadcast
00:07:06.63\00:07:09.96
thousands of hours
each day in seventy
00:07:09.96\00:07:12.16
major languages of the world.
00:07:12.16\00:07:14.23
AWR has the capability
and capacity of blanketing
00:07:14.23\00:07:17.80
almost 80 percent of
the world's population.
00:07:17.80\00:07:20.73
Not only do we
broadcast via shortwave radio,
00:07:20.73\00:07:23.80
but our signal is on
over 1000 FM and AM stations
00:07:23.80\00:07:27.93
around the world as
well. Our podcast subscribers,
00:07:27.93\00:07:31.70
Internet users,
satellite downlinks
00:07:31.70\00:07:33.96
are growing
rapidly, evidenced by the
00:07:33.96\00:07:36.36
hundred thousand
plus e-mails, letters
00:07:36.36\00:07:38.96
and phone calls we
receive each and every year.
00:07:38.96\00:07:42.30
Yes, AWR is your mission radio.
00:07:42.30\00:07:45.43
No walls and no
borders. For AWR that means
00:07:45.43\00:07:48.73
changed lives and
changed hearts around the world,
00:07:48.73\00:07:51.16
because God is using the airways
00:07:51.16\00:07:53.90
of AWR to reach
people everywhere.
00:07:53.90\00:07:56.66
Here is another story of hope
00:08:00.43\00:08:02.76
from Adventist World Radio.
00:08:02.76\00:08:04.96
Tong hated his
life always on the edge.
00:08:04.96\00:08:08.33
He often found
himself angry at the actions
00:08:08.33\00:08:10.86
of others. I lived
under the control of people's
00:08:10.86\00:08:13.66
words he says. The
anger and hopelessness led
00:08:13.66\00:08:16.86
Tong to wonder if
anyone would miss him
00:08:16.86\00:08:19.30
if he killed himself.
The classmates suggested
00:08:19.30\00:08:22.50
Tong tune in to
Adventist world radio.
00:08:22.50\00:08:25.00
Listening that
night Tong heard for the
00:08:25.00\00:08:27.06
first time of a God who
loved him unconditionally
00:08:27.06\00:08:30.90
that night I got
back to my life he says.
00:08:30.90\00:08:34.10
Tong knows there
are many others like him
00:08:34.10\00:08:36.16
in China living in
hopelessness believing
00:08:36.16\00:08:39.03
that no one loves
them, I pray they find God
00:08:39.03\00:08:42.10
soon he says. Jesus will help
00:08:42.10\00:08:44.80
them to leave the world of sin.
00:08:44.80\00:08:46.96
Adventist World
Radio shares the hope of
00:08:49.50\00:08:52.40
Christ with
millions of people every day,

00:08:55.76\00:09:00.20
I'm told that the
Maasai people understand
00:09:02.40\00:09:06.03
the animal kingdom
can actually almost
00:09:06.03\00:09:08.70
communicate you, you
live in nature so long
00:09:08.70\00:09:11.46
that you know what
the animals think almost.
00:09:11.46\00:09:13.80
Do you have to worry about the
00:09:13.80\00:09:16.23
danger of many
different animals.
00:09:16.23\00:09:18.26
We're afraid
when only the buffalo
00:09:24.10\00:09:26.53
because the
buffalo when he is alone,
00:09:26.53\00:09:30.53
he can attack him. He
will follow you for any reason,
00:09:30.53\00:09:35.30
even the elephant the
one the single elephant
00:09:35.30\00:09:39.30
is bad, but the
group they are not bad.
00:09:39.30\00:09:42.26
The lions we found
them, they lay under the tree
00:09:42.26\00:09:45.60
we just pass, but
the lion knows that
00:09:45.60\00:09:49.50
we attack him when he
came to catch our cows.
00:09:49.50\00:09:53.30
So we must kill him.
But the buffalo they're
00:09:53.30\00:09:56.70
the most dangerous? The
buffalo is more dangerous.
00:09:56.70\00:09:59.60
Known as one of the
big five or black death
00:10:00.86\00:10:03.20
in Africa. The African
buffalo is widely regarded
00:10:03.20\00:10:06.56
as a very dangerous
animal as it gores and
00:10:06.56\00:10:09.60
kills over 200
people every year.
00:10:09.60\00:10:12.70
Buffalo are
sometimes reported to kill more
00:10:12.70\00:10:15.43
people in Africa
than any other animal
00:10:15.43\00:10:17.53
although the same claim
is sometimes made of Hippos.
00:10:17.53\00:10:20.73
In the Garden of Eden,
God talked face to face
00:10:32.20\00:10:34.90
with Adam and Eve
but sin separated God
00:10:34.90\00:10:37.60
and man until Jesus
restored that communication.
00:10:37.60\00:10:41.13
Now it happens
in a different way,
00:10:41.13\00:10:43.30
one example is the voice
of hope broadcast from AWR.
00:10:43.30\00:10:46.76
It is sometimes heard by people
00:10:46.76\00:10:48.66
who have no
intention of listening.
00:10:48.66\00:10:50.96
Tell me, what did
it mean to you when
00:10:51.93\00:10:54.70
you first heard
the radio program?
00:10:54.70\00:10:56.63
I got so excited when
I started hearing these
00:10:58.53\00:11:01.70
radio programs that
brought me closer to Jesus
00:11:01.70\00:11:04.86
and changed my
life I was in darkness
00:11:04.86\00:11:07.66
but now I have
moved in to the light.
00:11:07.66\00:11:10.20
You said you came from darkness,
00:11:10.20\00:11:12.00
would you explain
what this darkness was?
00:11:12.00\00:11:14.50
Foreign Language
Before I was a Christian
00:11:14.50\00:11:20.66
I was dishonest and
unfaithful to my promises.
00:11:20.66\00:11:23.70
When I would buy and
sell cattle I would lie
00:11:23.70\00:11:26.86
and now I see that was not good.
00:11:26.86\00:11:29.83
Were there other things
you did in your life that
00:11:29.83\00:11:31.73
you weren't really
happy with that have changed?
00:11:31.73\00:11:34.80
Since I gave up
those bad habits I was able
00:11:34.80\00:11:38.50
to have a strong
relationship with God
00:11:38.50\00:11:40.80
and I am continuing to
grow closer to him everyday.
00:11:40.80\00:11:44.73
So I like you to
think back to the first day
00:11:44.73\00:11:47.53
that you first heard the radio,
00:11:47.53\00:11:49.33
what did you
think that first day?
00:11:49.33\00:11:51.30
You weren't a
Christian but you heard that
00:11:51.30\00:11:53.80
first program what
did it mean to you?
00:11:53.80\00:11:55.46
Foreign Language
I knew that one day
00:11:55.46\00:12:01.03
I will die and AWR
programs prepared me
00:12:01.03\00:12:04.80
for dead because I
know that any time I die,
00:12:04.80\00:12:08.36
I die into the
hands of Jesus Christ.
00:12:08.36\00:12:11.66
What's the next step
you've accepted Jesus
00:12:11.66\00:12:14.13
into your life are
there other steps now
00:12:14.13\00:12:16.26
that you're
preparing for? Foreign Language
00:12:16.26\00:12:20.03
We don't how to read
and write in this village
00:12:20.03\00:12:22.80
but we have a
great desire to learn
00:12:22.80\00:12:25.40
we need people to
teach us to read and write
00:12:25.40\00:12:28.30
so we may study the
Holy Scriptures on our own
00:12:28.30\00:12:31.26
and come into a
closer relationship with God.
00:12:31.26\00:12:34.86
So now you are
desiring to learn more
00:12:34.86\00:12:38.33
so that you can
know God better? Yes.
00:12:38.33\00:12:41.16
Now for this is
Whistling Acacia.
00:12:43.50\00:12:45.60
Yes, this is
Whistling Thorn Acacia.
00:12:45.60\00:12:48.03
Why do they call it
that? This is because whenever
00:12:48.03\00:12:51.10
the wind is blowing
with this kind of blows,
00:12:51.10\00:12:54.46
sounds like whistles.
Really so just the wind's,
00:12:54.46\00:12:58.10
well the wind's
blowing a little bit right now
00:12:58.10\00:13:00.43
how come, we
can't hear it right now,
00:13:00.43\00:13:01.93
just not hard enough.
Yes, yes it's not hard enough.
00:13:01.93\00:13:04.23
Now did the giraffes
like this type of acacia
00:13:04.23\00:13:07.60
too or no? They like a
lot of the leaves of acacia,
00:13:07.60\00:13:10.90
this is their
favorite meal. The only part
00:13:10.90\00:13:15.46
that the giraffe eat is
just this little soft leaf.
00:13:15.46\00:13:18.10
Yes, yes they prefer
this leaf and contain a
00:13:18.10\00:13:23.63
lot of minerals with
them but also necessary
00:13:23.63\00:13:26.43
for them water because
giraffe can live to a place
00:13:26.43\00:13:29.93
without water because
they get water from the leaves.
00:13:29.93\00:13:33.33
Let's go find some
animals, shall we? Yeah, sure.
00:13:33.33\00:13:36.20
The giraffe is the
tallest animal in the world
00:13:41.16\00:13:43.80
so beautiful and
graceful and a amazing creature
00:13:43.80\00:13:47.03
instantly
recognized around the world.
00:13:47.03\00:13:50.26
Males can grow up
to 18 feet tall and
00:13:50.26\00:13:52.80
weigh 2000 pounds,
female are usually lighter
00:13:52.80\00:13:56.20
and about 2 feet shorter.
Their long neck only has
00:13:56.20\00:13:59.60
7 vertebrae as do
most mammals although
00:13:59.60\00:14:02.90
each is much larger.
The giraffe soup plate sized
00:14:02.90\00:14:07.80
hooves are used
as offensive weapons
00:14:07.80\00:14:10.30
usually in defense of
their young, a powerful
00:14:10.30\00:14:13.00
kick from their
front feet can kill a lion.
00:14:13.00\00:14:15.63
They inhabit the vast Savannah,
00:14:15.63\00:14:18.46
where there are
acacia trees scattered across
00:14:18.46\00:14:20.86
the landscape. Their
long black tongue which
00:14:20.86\00:14:24.33
can extend 18 inches
is used to gather food
00:14:24.33\00:14:27.73
into the mouth
what an amazing creature
00:14:27.73\00:14:30.13
created not only for it's beauty
00:14:30.13\00:14:32.43
but also is the
local tree trimmer.
00:14:32.43\00:14:34.56
So you keep her for breeding?
00:14:35.73\00:14:37.93
Yeah this is a breeding one and
00:14:37.93\00:14:39.73
she has a baby called Bunny.
00:14:39.73\00:14:41.60
Bunny is 1 year and
half. How old do they have
00:14:41.60\00:14:45.03
to be before they can
actually breed and produce?
00:14:45.03\00:14:47.70
A giraffe
normally become mature,
00:14:47.70\00:14:50.33
females by the
time they reach 4 years,
00:14:50.33\00:14:52.53
males by the time
they reach 7 years.
00:14:52.53\00:14:54.93
And how old do they
live? They live up to 30 years
00:14:54.93\00:14:57.53
in captivity, 10
to 15 in the wild,
00:14:57.53\00:14:59.93
they also why the life
span is short in the wild
00:14:59.93\00:15:03.56
because the acacia
tree. They've got small leaves
00:15:03.56\00:15:06.50
that will often fall
into their eyes then they
00:15:06.50\00:15:08.80
develop cataracts, so
by that time they reach
00:15:08.80\00:15:10.86
age of 14, 15
years, they're either blind
00:15:10.86\00:15:13.13
or partially
blind. Really? Yeah.
00:15:13.13\00:15:15.23
Oh! You poor thing.
Have you ever notice
00:15:15.23\00:15:18.03
that after being bent
over standing up too quickly
00:15:18.03\00:15:21.23
can cause you to
become very dizzy.
00:15:21.23\00:15:23.26
It's because of a
sudden drop in blood pressure
00:15:23.26\00:15:25.70
and oxygen to the
brain. The opposite happens to
00:15:25.70\00:15:28.70
the giraffe when
they quickly lowered their
00:15:28.70\00:15:30.50
head to compensate
for the sudden increase in
00:15:30.50\00:15:33.16
blood pressure they have
very elastic blood vessels
00:15:33.16\00:15:36.00
in a intricate
valve system in their neck
00:15:36.00\00:15:38.20
that controls the
blood flow and pressure,
00:15:38.20\00:15:40.83
what an amazing creator we have.
00:15:40.83\00:15:43.50
So if you want to
try a giraffe kiss,
00:15:43.50\00:15:45.16
let her give a
long one, come on.
00:15:45.16\00:15:46.50
Okay we've got to
entice her for a kiss,
00:15:46.50\00:15:48.60
is that it. Yes.
Okay. Have a long one,
00:15:48.60\00:15:51.16
I will show what
to do. Arlene look.
00:15:51.16\00:15:53.43
Oh, no, I decided I
don't want to do that.
00:15:53.43\00:15:57.80
Come on Arlene, Arlene, Arlene.
00:15:57.80\00:16:00.43
That's okay
sweetheart, another date may be.
00:16:00.43\00:16:03.83
Arlene, Arlene, okay
your chin between her lips.
00:16:03.83\00:16:07.30
Okay, come on
Arlene. Come on here.
00:16:07.30\00:16:10.00
She plays like
it. Just stand here.
00:16:10.00\00:16:12.30
Oh come on now I
got my courage up,
00:16:12.30\00:16:14.60
this can't take all day
I'm gonna change my mind.
00:16:14.60\00:16:16.86
Okay put in between your lips.
00:16:16.86\00:16:18.50
She can't because of
your cap. Okay come on.
00:16:18.50\00:16:23.03
There we go, there we go.
00:16:23.03\00:16:26.23
Oh that was a good
kiss. Where is the faucet.
00:16:26.23\00:16:32.03
Okay antiseptic
or no, that's enough.
00:16:32.03\00:16:38.10
You are sweet
though. Yes you are.
00:16:38.10\00:16:41.00
How often did you
tune the radio like this
00:16:54.53\00:16:56.90
and put it out the
window so everybody can hear it.
00:16:56.90\00:16:59.50
Foreign Language
I used to tune that
00:16:59.50\00:17:05.10
every night when
the Maasai program
00:17:05.10\00:17:08.96
used to be on
air. And you showed me
00:17:08.96\00:17:11.30
you have a lot of
cattle, so when you're done
00:17:11.30\00:17:14.16
with the cattle you
would listen to this at night.
00:17:14.16\00:17:16.46
Foreign Language We
have a total of 120 cows
00:17:16.46\00:17:20.76
in this community
after taking care of my cows
00:17:20.76\00:17:24.16
at 8:30 in the
evening I come home,
00:17:24.16\00:17:26.80
I tune my radio to
AWR Maasai program.
00:17:26.80\00:17:30.13
And you're one of the
leaders of this community.
00:17:30.13\00:17:33.00
I was born in this
place and raised in this place
00:17:33.00\00:17:37.00
and now I am a community elder
00:17:37.00\00:17:39.30
like my father before me.
00:17:39.30\00:17:41.03
So it's one of
the leaders and you
00:17:41.46\00:17:43.80
accepted Jesus
first in to your life
00:17:43.80\00:17:46.10
many others will
follow because of you.
00:17:46.10\00:17:48.26
Many other villagers
here decided to follow
00:17:48.26\00:17:54.70
Jesus the way that I've done.
00:17:54.70\00:17:56.70
So many of them are
anxious to hear AWR programs
00:17:56.70\00:18:00.73
because that is the
only way to hear the gospel.
00:18:00.73\00:18:03.36
You see we
cannot read on our own
00:18:03.36\00:18:05.93
but we wish to
learn so that we can study
00:18:05.93\00:18:08.76
the Holy
Scriptures and have a better
00:18:08.76\00:18:10.50
understanding of
God. That many people here
00:18:10.50\00:18:14.16
in the village
believe in other Gods or what
00:18:14.16\00:18:17.20
did they believe in
before they accepted Jesus?
00:18:17.20\00:18:20.10
In this place people
used to worship other gods,
00:18:20.10\00:18:24.80
they were pagans but
now since they started
00:18:24.80\00:18:28.03
listening to the AWR
programs they only worship
00:18:28.03\00:18:31.26
the true God. AWR is
popular with everyone
00:18:31.26\00:18:34.90
in this village and
that's brought all of us
00:18:34.90\00:18:37.40
to know the living God.
Amen, well, I appreciate
00:18:37.40\00:18:41.80
you sharing here
too about this part
00:18:41.80\00:18:43.90
of the story, it's wonderful.

Here's another story of hope
00:19:50.96\00:19:53.23
from Adventist World Radio.
00:19:53.23\00:19:55.40
My name is Benjamin Schoun,
00:19:55.40\00:19:56.90
president of
Adventist World Radio.
00:19:56.90\00:19:59.23
We've been amazed by
God's work in Afghanistan.
00:19:59.23\00:20:02.90
Recently a relief
worker told me that many
00:20:02.90\00:20:05.40
Afghanis has great
interest in learning
00:20:05.40\00:20:07.70
about Christ, but are
afraid to purchase Bibles,
00:20:07.70\00:20:11.10
instead they listen to
Christian radio programs.
00:20:11.10\00:20:14.46
Adventist World
Radio broadcast to
00:20:14.46\00:20:16.80
Afghanistan in
the Dari, Uyghur, and
00:20:16.80\00:20:19.56
Arabic languages,
allowing us to reach
00:20:19.56\00:20:22.20
a large number of population.
00:20:22.20\00:20:24.73
The response
has been incredible,
00:20:24.73\00:20:26.93
just one example is
a letter we received
00:20:26.93\00:20:29.50
from an orphaned
teenage refugee saying
00:20:29.50\00:20:32.10
Jesus is now the hope I
cling to in my sea of pain.
00:20:32.10\00:20:36.53
How can I be become a Christian?
00:20:36.53\00:20:38.93
Adventist World
Radio shares the hope
00:20:39.80\00:20:42.50
of Christ with
million of people everyday,

00:20:46.06\00:20:50.40
Before I made it
here to the Serengeti
00:20:50.40\00:20:53.56
I never thought
about it being so beautiful
00:20:53.56\00:20:55.50
and so lush in many
places. Makes me think
00:20:55.50\00:20:58.70
of the Garden of
Eden. How God in the cool
00:20:58.70\00:21:01.76
of the day walked hand
in hand with Adam and Eve
00:21:01.76\00:21:04.66
but you know that's
another story in itself
00:21:04.66\00:21:07.16
because God had
recently created man and woman.
00:21:07.16\00:21:10.76
The story goes that he
got down and he fashioned
00:21:10.76\00:21:13.96
man out of the
dust of the ground,
00:21:13.96\00:21:16.26
spent special time, all
the rest of the creation
00:21:16.26\00:21:19.33
he spoke it into
existence but with man
00:21:19.33\00:21:22.16
our first parent, he
fashioned, spent so much
00:21:22.16\00:21:26.36
time in doing
everything just exactly right.
00:21:26.36\00:21:29.80
And then the scriptures
record that he actually
00:21:29.80\00:21:33.30
apparently kissed
Adam as the Hebrew words
00:21:33.30\00:21:36.23
and he blew into
him the breath of life,
00:21:36.23\00:21:39.23
and Adam became a
living being, ready
00:21:39.23\00:21:42.26
and beautiful in
complexion, perfect
00:21:42.26\00:21:44.26
symmetry in all of its ways.
00:21:44.26\00:21:46.83
And God caused all the
animal creation to come
00:21:47.63\00:21:50.36
before Adam and Adam
named every single one.
00:21:50.36\00:21:53.93
Apparently, a
name that would signify
00:21:53.93\00:21:56.23
what type of animal,
what type of characteristics.
00:21:56.23\00:21:58.73
I can't even begin to
imagine what that must
00:21:58.73\00:22:01.46
have been like but
Adam perfect from the hand
00:22:01.46\00:22:03.80
of the creator had
such intellect, such
00:22:03.80\00:22:06.60
incredible wisdom.
As I look around and see
00:22:06.60\00:22:10.80
the beauty that's
still here, see the animals
00:22:10.80\00:22:14.10
themselves and think
about the mind of God.
00:22:14.10\00:22:16.26
What must the mind
of God be like to create
00:22:16.26\00:22:18.80
a giant cat, a
wonderful cat that's so majestic
00:22:18.80\00:22:22.00
and beautiful, to
parrots and buffalo,
00:22:22.00\00:22:26.66
well the list
just goes on and on
00:22:26.66\00:22:28.60
and you've got to
think the mind of God
00:22:28.60\00:22:31.10
has to be
absolutely infinite and loving
00:22:31.10\00:22:35.40
because he created it
all for you and for me.
00:22:35.40\00:22:39.36
One of the best
places on earth to talk
00:22:40.53\00:22:42.63
about creation is Africa.
Modern day paleontologist
00:22:42.63\00:22:46.16
consider Africa to be
the cradle of civilization,
00:22:46.16\00:22:48.90
but many biblical
archeologists believe
00:22:48.90\00:22:51.23
the Bible points to
the area of Iraq and
00:22:51.23\00:22:53.26
Iran as the birth
place of civilization.
00:22:53.26\00:22:55.96
When surrounded by
such a marvelous variety
00:22:55.96\00:22:58.90
of wildlife I can't
help but think of the one
00:22:58.90\00:23:01.30
who created it all.
The earth and all it holds
00:23:01.30\00:23:04.23
has been called
God's second book next
00:23:04.23\00:23:06.66
to the Bible.
There is no doubt that as
00:23:06.66\00:23:09.16
we view the beauty,
thoughtfulness, creative
00:23:09.16\00:23:11.73
genius and love that
went into all we see.
00:23:11.73\00:23:14.80
We are drawn to the
creator, the God who
00:23:14.80\00:23:17.56
seeks to become our best friend.
00:23:17.56\00:23:20.30
She was sick in bed
with no hope of healing
00:23:22.10\00:23:24.26
but her thoughts
were not focused upon
00:23:24.26\00:23:26.03
her own problems and
limitation but upon sharing
00:23:26.03\00:23:29.03
Jesus with others,
her greatest desire was to
00:23:29.03\00:23:32.23
win someone to
the Lord she loved.
00:23:32.23\00:23:34.40
Self was put aside
and she was blessed beyond
00:23:34.40\00:23:37.26
belief with far more
then she could have imagined.
00:23:37.26\00:23:40.56
You are beginning to see
the fruits of your labor.
00:23:43.00\00:23:45.50
What's happened in
this village that exciting
00:23:45.50\00:23:48.60
to you? Foreign
Language I am excited to know
00:23:48.60\00:23:53.03
there are people
who have moved from the
00:23:53.03\00:23:54.90
darkness to the
light in Jesus Christ.
00:23:54.90\00:23:57.50
This makes me very happy.
00:23:57.50\00:24:00.06
Have they been baptized here?
00:24:00.06\00:24:02.23
One person has been
baptized here but now
00:24:02.23\00:24:06.26
others are being
prepared for baptism.
00:24:06.26\00:24:09.33
Have you been
baptized yet? I am baptized.
00:24:09.33\00:24:13.80
So you're the one,
you're the first listener
00:24:13.80\00:24:16.40
and you've been baptized and now
00:24:16.40\00:24:17.56
there is many more
getting ready? Yes.
00:24:17.56\00:24:20.50
How many more? Foreign Language
00:24:20.50\00:24:22.50
They are ten candidates
who are being prepared
00:24:22.50\00:24:24.96
for baptism, we've
also created a follow up
00:24:24.96\00:24:28.76
program for our listeners
and I believe this will
00:24:28.76\00:24:31.96
help those
listeners become more faithful
00:24:31.96\00:24:34.56
to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
00:24:34.56\00:24:37.03
What would you
tell people who say
00:24:37.03\00:24:39.30
I can't do anything,
I can't leave my home,
00:24:39.30\00:24:42.53
I can't witness for the
Lord, I can't do anything?
00:24:42.53\00:24:46.06
What would you
tell someone like that?
00:24:46.06\00:24:48.16
Despite the
stumbling blocks someone might
00:24:48.16\00:24:53.16
be facing. They
will sacrifice anything
00:24:53.16\00:24:55.90
when they learn and
understand why Jesus
00:24:55.90\00:24:58.73
humbled himself from
the throne of glory and
00:24:58.73\00:25:02.40
came down to be
sacrificed. Personally,
00:25:02.40\00:25:05.66
I think that many
people think that just
00:25:05.66\00:25:08.83
because I am a woman I am weak,
00:25:08.83\00:25:11.40
but I can testify
that by God's grace
00:25:11.40\00:25:15.06
he has used me in a
mighty way despite my gender.
00:25:15.06\00:25:19.33
I thank God for
that. When someone knows
00:25:19.33\00:25:22.46
the love of God,
nothing can stop them from
00:25:22.46\00:25:25.56
sharing the new
faith with others.
00:25:25.56\00:25:28.06
If you have never
heard the AWR program
00:25:30.20\00:25:33.23
how would you life
be different today?
00:25:33.23\00:25:35.50
Foreign
Language I thank God that
00:25:35.50\00:25:38.90
I heard the AWR programs because
00:25:38.90\00:25:41.40
I think without
them I would not be here
00:25:41.40\00:25:44.06
where I am today.
Amen. I appreciate
00:25:44.06\00:25:49.23
being able to come
out in the bush today way
00:25:49.23\00:25:51.10
out here in the
middle of nowhere and get
00:25:51.10\00:25:52.66
to meet both of
you. This is wonderful.
00:25:52.66\00:25:54.50
Thank you very
much. Foreign Language
00:25:54.50\00:26:00.06
It's going to be fun to walk
00:26:00.06\00:26:02.46
together in heaven. Nice to be.
00:26:02.46\00:26:04.26
In Isaiah chapter 52
verse 7, it's say how
00:26:06.26\00:26:10.73
beautiful on the
mountains are the feet of those
00:26:10.73\00:26:13.33
who proclaim good
news, who proclaim peace,
00:26:13.33\00:26:17.33
who bring good tidings,
who proclaims salvation,
00:26:17.33\00:26:21.63
who say to
Zion, your God reigns.
00:26:21.63\00:26:24.93
Ana Simbo is a such a
humble Christian individual
00:26:24.93\00:26:28.73
and even though she
didn't have good health
00:26:28.73\00:26:31.10
and didn't feel
she could do much.
00:26:31.10\00:26:32.96
She was really fulfilling
the vision that God has
00:26:32.96\00:26:36.60
for every believer that
is to share that good news
00:26:36.60\00:26:41.23
with people everywhere.
Now we're out in the very
00:26:41.23\00:26:44.43
rural area, in fact,
we didn't even have a road
00:26:44.43\00:26:48.10
by which we could
drive to this location,
00:26:48.10\00:26:50.56
simply a path that we followed.
00:26:50.56\00:26:52.83
This is also one of
the places where we sent
00:26:52.83\00:26:56.26
one of those gift
radios, the solar crank radios
00:26:56.26\00:27:00.23
so that they could
have even more ways to
00:27:00.23\00:27:02.90
listen to the broadcast.
Those are the radios that
00:27:02.90\00:27:06.46
you viewers helped
us to provide for places
00:27:06.46\00:27:10.16
like this, yes
this is the work that
00:27:10.16\00:27:12.50
Adventist World Radio
does, sharing the message
00:27:12.50\00:27:16.00
of salvation with
people in the mountains,
00:27:16.00\00:27:18.86
in the valleys,
all over the world and
00:27:18.86\00:27:21.60
I invite you to
again support the work of
00:27:21.60\00:27:24.70
AWR as we continue to
reach more people everywhere.
00:27:24.70\00:27:28.70
There is no doubt
AWR is making waves and
00:27:28.70\00:27:31.43
