Well we've almost
arrived at the exotic
00:00:01.96\00:00:03.40
Island of
Zanzibar, oh! I just the name
00:00:03.40\00:00:05.63
itself conjures up
mystic and mystery.
00:00:05.63\00:00:07.66
But let's go, check it out.
00:00:07.66\00:00:08.80
Well, it's
before 8 O'clock in the
00:00:45.43\00:00:46.73
morning and the smell
of fish is everywhere,
00:00:46.73\00:00:48.70
we're actually at
the fish market, it's the
00:00:49.10\00:00:50.50
nerve center for
the entire island.
00:00:50.50\00:00:52.30
People bringing in
their catches from all
00:00:53.13\00:00:54.76
night long, the
people coming on their
00:00:54.76\00:00:56.83
bicycles with their
little baskets buying
00:00:56.83\00:00:58.76
fish, negotiating
for the right price,
00:00:58.76\00:01:00.80
to carry their
wares across the island.
00:01:01.10\00:01:02.96
Chopping up the
fish, buying individually
00:01:03.66\00:01:06.76
for the markets, for
the restaurants, for the
00:01:07.00\00:01:10.10
hotels. This is
where it's all happening.
00:01:10.10\00:01:12.73
Zanzibar nestled
in the Indian Ocean;
00:01:15.00\00:01:17.23
it's actually an
archipelago in the
00:01:17.53\00:01:19.30
Indian Ocean. 16
to 31 miles off to the
00:01:19.30\00:01:22.56
coast of the
mainland and consist some
00:01:22.56\00:01:24.66
numerous small
islands and two large ones.
00:01:24.66\00:01:26.93
The people of Zanzibar are of
00:01:31.80\00:01:33.30
different origins,
mostly African people
00:01:33.30\00:01:35.80
from the
mainland. The population was
00:01:35.80\00:01:38.10
nearly 1 million
in 2002; the largest
00:01:38.10\00:01:41.70
settlement is
Zanzibar town. Outside of the
00:01:41.70\00:01:45.10
few others small
towns, most people
00:01:45.10\00:01:47.23
live in even
smaller villages and are
00:01:47.23\00:01:49.56
engaged in farming or fishing.
00:01:49.56\00:01:51.33
I don't think, I'd
ever seen so much activity
00:01:53.40\00:01:55.23
in all my life
in one place in any
00:01:55.23\00:01:57.13
kind of fish market before.
00:01:57.13\00:01:58.40
There is a
barely control chaos of
00:02:00.13\00:02:01.90
people everywhere,
the strong odder of
00:02:01.90\00:02:05.53
the bounty of the
sea permeates everything
00:02:05.53\00:02:07.80
as buckets of fish
are passed from Dhow to
00:02:07.80\00:02:09.90
runners in waste deep water.
00:02:09.90\00:02:11.90
They carry the buckets to shore
00:02:12.60\00:02:14.06
where a variety of
catchers are spread
00:02:14.06\00:02:15.80
out on tarp and make
shift tables ready for sale.
00:02:15.80\00:02:18.93
The fish market in
old stone town begins
00:02:22.40\00:02:24.53
with the small
crowded port where Dhow come
00:02:24.53\00:02:26.83
crowding in from
a night of fishing,
00:02:26.83\00:02:28.80
from the small
crowded port the fish
00:02:29.40\00:02:31.00
make their via bicycle, taxi,
00:02:31.00\00:02:33.43
car and foot to the
center of town where
00:02:33.43\00:02:36.30
they're sold in the
fish, vegetables and
00:02:36.30\00:02:38.26
spice market in Old Stone town.
00:02:38.26\00:02:40.10
We're gonna head
inside the fish market
00:02:41.66\00:02:43.30
now from the sea
they bring everything over
00:02:43.30\00:02:45.63
here, this is where everybody
00:02:45.63\00:02:47.16
negotiates and makes the sales.
00:02:47.16\00:02:48.76
Here the clamber of
the auction rises to a
00:02:56.93\00:02:58.86
fever pitch as
season bidders buy for the
00:02:58.86\00:03:01.43
perfect dish for their
hotels, restaurants and
00:03:01.43\00:03:04.03
distant clients.
The abundance of the
00:03:04.03\00:03:06.86
sea is overwhelming,
elegant barracuda and
00:03:06.86\00:03:09.93
bright red
snappers, sailfish and
00:03:09.93\00:03:11.83
kingfish, marlin and tuna.
00:03:11.83\00:03:13.86
They've got to
check this out, here's a
00:03:18.53\00:03:20.23
difference
between clean and unclean
00:03:20.23\00:03:21.60
fish, a fish that
has scales and fins.
00:03:21.60\00:03:23.83
According the Bible
that's a clean fish,
00:03:24.23\00:03:25.63
back over here,
no scales, no fins,
00:03:26.60\00:03:30.00
squid and
octopus, definitely unclean
00:03:30.76\00:03:33.16
according to Bible.
The islands provide a
00:03:33.16\00:03:36.00
good catch of
fish, but there are other
00:03:36.00\00:03:38.36
catchers we must focus upon.
00:03:38.36\00:03:39.86
Jesus said follow
me and I will make you
00:03:40.36\00:03:43.36
fishers of men, our
producer in Dar es Salaam
00:03:43.36\00:03:46.56
heard the call of
the master and he's
00:03:46.56\00:03:48.50
helping AWR cast the nets.
00:03:48.50\00:03:50.66
Pastor, we're in a
very unique position here
00:03:51.63\00:03:54.33
because right
outside the city we're using
00:03:54.33\00:03:56.23
short wave to reach
into the village that is
00:03:56.23\00:03:58.63
so remote that people
don't travel there too often.
00:03:58.63\00:04:01.83
Yes, but you're
in a massive city,
00:04:02.06\00:04:04.10
in a huge city,
how are we reaching the
00:04:04.50\00:04:06.06
people here in the
city. Yeah, in this big city
00:04:06.06\00:04:09.50
of Dar es Salaam, we
have different ways of
00:04:09.50\00:04:13.20
reaching people as
you have said before
00:04:13.86\00:04:16.23
number one is the
FM frequencies that can
00:04:16.23\00:04:20.16
help people. Can
you give me an example
00:04:20.16\00:04:22.40
of a un-educational
program, what would it entail?
00:04:22.40\00:04:25.66
We have a program
called foreign language
00:04:26.36\00:04:28.93
that is in Swahili,
talk to the community.
00:04:28.93\00:04:32.33
So, we look to the
mothers all the areas
00:04:33.00\00:04:36.03
that community
of Tanzanian need.
00:04:36.03\00:04:38.13
For instance, the
security of the people,
00:04:38.56\00:04:42.13
or education of the
Tanzanians and Africans.
00:04:42.60\00:04:45.90
So, we talk to
them that does the
00:04:46.13\00:04:48.66
government fulfill
they're aims of their
00:04:48.66\00:04:51.16
education in
Tanzanian. Now, I'm sure you get
00:04:51.16\00:04:55.30
letters and phone
calls and emails to the
00:04:55.30\00:04:58.43
station asking for
help, yes tell me a
00:04:58.43\00:05:01.83
little bit more
about that, share with me,
00:05:01.83\00:05:03.46
what type of calls,
emails, do you receive?
00:05:03.46\00:05:06.00
We receive
emails and SMS, yeah so
00:05:07.20\00:05:12.13
many people
asking, they're bringing,
00:05:12.13\00:05:14.90
their priorities to
us and we pray to them,
00:05:14.90\00:05:18.76
we have session
prayers with the programs.
00:05:18.76\00:05:22.00
And I'm going to
imagine that's when
00:05:22.23\00:05:23.40
the voice of
prophecy lessons come into
00:05:23.40\00:05:25.26
play then, you start
sending them lessons too.
00:05:25.26\00:05:27.50
Leading them that
ways is that correct?
00:05:28.16\00:05:29.53
Yes, once you start
sharing the voice of
00:05:29.83\00:05:32.90
prophecy lessons
with them, what type of
00:05:32.90\00:05:35.53
response do you
see to people do they
00:05:35.53\00:05:37.40
enjoy the lessons?
Yes, people do enjoy
00:05:37.40\00:05:39.46
but we decided to
leave that program
00:05:39.46\00:05:42.66
with our churches,
so churches do come to
00:05:42.66\00:05:46.13
our session and
take these lessons and
00:05:46.13\00:05:48.36
provide them to the people.
00:05:49.00\00:05:50.16
So that from the
church we get their
00:05:50.16\00:05:52.06
report of those who
radiant, getting baptized.
00:05:52.43\00:05:57.16
So, the station
works hand in hand with the
00:05:57.16\00:05:59.33
local churches,
right yes, good, yeah.
00:05:59.33\00:06:01.80
Men, women, boys
and girls, everyone's
00:06:03.33\00:06:05.36
listening to
Adventist World Radio from
00:06:05.36\00:06:07.10
Cairo and the great pyramids
00:06:07.10\00:06:09.20
to the barren lands of Ethiopia.
00:06:12.43\00:06:14.23
From the vast
plains of Kenya and the
00:06:17.60\00:06:19.86
Maasai Lands of the Serengeti,
00:06:19.86\00:06:21.50
to the slopes of
Mount Kilimanjaro.
00:06:23.13\00:06:24.93
All the way here to the exotic
00:06:27.23\00:06:28.76
shores of Zanzibar and beyond.
00:06:28.76\00:06:31.20
As you can see AWR is
frontline mission radio.
00:06:33.63\00:06:36.93
Our first
priority is to travel where
00:06:37.66\00:06:39.60
missionaries
cannot go. We broadcast
00:06:39.60\00:06:43.00
thousands of hours
each day in seventy
00:06:43.00\00:06:45.06
major languages of the world.
00:06:45.06\00:06:46.53
AWR has the
capability and capacity of
00:06:47.80\00:06:50.33
blanketing almost 80 percent of
00:06:50.33\00:06:51.90
the world's population.
Not only do we broadcast
00:06:51.90\00:06:55.26
via shortwave
radio, but our signal is on
00:06:55.26\00:06:58.10
over 1000 FM and
AM stations around
00:06:58.10\00:07:01.46
the world as well.
Our podcast subscribers,
00:07:01.46\00:07:04.53
Internet users,
satellite downlinks
00:07:04.53\00:07:07.06
are growing
rapidly, evidenced by the
00:07:07.06\00:07:09.36
hundred thousand
plus e-mails, letters
00:07:09.36\00:07:12.00
and phone calls we
receive each and every year.
00:07:12.00\00:07:15.03
Yes, AWR is your mission radio.
00:07:15.50\00:07:18.20
No walls and no
borders. For AWR that means
00:07:18.63\00:07:21.66
changed lives and
changed hearts around
00:07:21.66\00:07:23.76
the world,
because God is using the
00:07:23.76\00:07:26.30
airways of AWR to
reach people everywhere.
00:07:26.30\00:07:29.23
If you ever have an
opportunity, you need
00:07:37.10\00:07:38.83
to visit your local
aquarium or you need
00:07:38.83\00:07:41.06
to go to your pet
shop and find the section
00:07:41.06\00:07:43.40
that has salt water
fish. In all likelihood a
00:07:43.40\00:07:46.30
good percentage of
those fish are going
00:07:46.30\00:07:48.30
to come from the Indian Ocean,
00:07:48.30\00:07:49.80
God has given the
most gorgeous under
00:07:50.53\00:07:53.33
water scenes in
the Indian Ocean and
00:07:53.33\00:07:56.10
around the world, it's just
00:07:56.30\00:07:57.43
another world down there.
00:07:57.43\00:07:58.76
But here especially
the water is the most
00:07:59.43\00:08:01.23
gorgeous
turquoise color, the sound,
00:08:01.23\00:08:04.56
the smells, the
sights, the wind blowing,
00:08:04.83\00:08:07.40
it's a gorgeous
place. The Indian Ocean is
00:08:07.80\00:08:11.73
the third largest
Ocean on the earth
00:08:11.73\00:08:13.70
starting from 6
degree South Latitude and
00:08:13.70\00:08:16.46
moving north
down to by Australia,
00:08:16.46\00:08:18.50
Indonesia and
Malaysia on the East,
00:08:18.80\00:08:20.66
India and the Arabian
Peninsula to the North
00:08:21.03\00:08:23.20
and Africa to the
West. It covers more than 26
00:08:23.40\00:08:26.60
million square
miles of Earth's surface.
00:08:26.60\00:08:28.96
I just can't help
but the water is so
00:08:36.93\00:08:38.43
fantastic I wish I
could dive in right
00:08:38.43\00:08:40.20
now but I'm afraid
the sailboat may leave me.
00:08:40.20\00:08:43.00
Fish is a major
source of protein in Zanzibar
00:08:50.46\00:08:53.06
and especially for
low income households.
00:08:53.43\00:08:55.36
Local fishermen
use about 96 percent of
00:08:56.16\00:08:58.53
the total fish
catches for the local market.
00:08:58.53\00:09:01.00
Exporting a mere 4 percent,
00:09:01.26\00:09:03.10
most fishermen are
very poorly equipped,
00:09:04.56\00:09:06.60
fishing in the
waters around Zanzibar
00:09:06.96\00:09:08.86
consist mostly
of artisan and semi
00:09:08.86\00:09:11.23
commercial
fishing. The non commercial
00:09:11.23\00:09:14.93
fishermen use
mostly sailing vessels with
00:09:14.93\00:09:17.93
traditional gear
like lines, traps, various
00:09:17.93\00:09:20.86
types of nets and spear fishing.
00:09:20.86\00:09:22.70
They're a few
motorize boats using
00:09:23.76\00:09:26.13
traditional fishing techniques,
00:09:26.13\00:09:27.63
catchers from
this include various
00:09:28.63\00:09:30.10
reef fish and a few
open water fish like
00:09:30.10\00:09:32.60
kingfish and
tuna. Semi commercial
00:09:32.60\00:09:35.00
fishing employees
purse nets with engine
00:09:35.00\00:09:37.33
powered boats to
catch open water fish
00:09:37.33\00:09:39.23
like Mackerel and Sardines.
00:09:39.23\00:09:40.90
There's an old
saying that says, the worst
00:09:41.80\00:09:43.53
day of fishing
is better than the
00:09:43.53\00:09:45.10
best day of
working. But here in Zanzibar
00:09:45.10\00:09:47.73
the life of a fishermen
is a hard life, it's a, it's
00:09:48.16\00:09:50.70
a difficult life.
They work long hard
00:09:50.70\00:09:53.20
hours all through
the night, to pull in
00:09:53.20\00:09:55.60
sometimes a
small catch or maybe no
00:09:55.60\00:09:57.43
catch at all. Gas prices rise,
00:09:57.43\00:09:59.70
the price of fish
go down, they can't
00:10:00.20\00:10:02.20
control the markets.
While it's a gorgeous
00:10:02.20\00:10:05.03
location for the
people that live here,
00:10:05.03\00:10:06.83
it can be a difficult
time. The people in the
00:10:06.83\00:10:09.76
areas have raise
spices, they may have
00:10:09.76\00:10:11.96
a little bit better
sometimes, the spice
00:10:11.96\00:10:13.70
farms can grow all
the spices that are
00:10:13.70\00:10:16.06
shipped in many locations.
00:10:16.06\00:10:17.73
But for the poor
fishermen, it's tough.
00:10:19.00\00:10:20.80
Jesus disciples have
been fishing all night
00:10:21.70\00:10:24.03
on the Sea of
Galilee but without success,
00:10:24.03\00:10:26.50
in the morning the
wrong time to fish in
00:10:27.06\00:10:28.90
those waters,
Jesus told these seasoned
00:10:28.90\00:10:31.30
fishermen to cast
their nets on the right side
00:10:31.30\00:10:33.83
of the boat, the
side Jesus stood on,
00:10:33.83\00:10:36.33
soon their catch
was so large that they
00:10:36.70\00:10:38.80
could hardly haul in their nets.
00:10:38.80\00:10:40.30
Well fishermen
apply these ancient waters
00:10:41.43\00:10:43.23
for centuries,
pretty much in the same
00:10:43.23\00:10:45.63
type of boats that
they build by hand and in
00:10:45.63\00:10:48.73
the same waters
using the same techniques
00:10:48.73\00:10:50.93
that have been
successful for perhaps thousands
00:10:50.93\00:10:53.10
of years from the
time of Jesus Christ.
00:10:53.10\00:10:54.93
The village of Nungwi nestled
00:11:05.30\00:11:07.00
among palm groves of Zanzibar's
00:11:07.00\00:11:08.80
northernmost tip, is
a dhow-building center,
00:11:08.80\00:11:11.76
and one of the island's
major tourist destinations.
00:11:11.76\00:11:14.46
Among this
beautiful white sand beach
00:11:15.23\00:11:17.16
rough-hewn planks
slowly take on new
00:11:17.46\00:11:19.36
life as skilled
craftsmen ply their
00:11:19.36\00:11:21.50
centuries old
trade. Now, perhaps for the
00:11:21.50\00:11:24.76
single family
fishermen, they might have a
00:11:24.76\00:11:27.40
boat such as this.
One piece carved out
00:11:27.40\00:11:30.93
of one single log
with a few additions of
00:11:30.93\00:11:33.93
course but can you
imagine one sing log,
00:11:33.93\00:11:36.36
it serves it's
purpose, they can get out to the
00:11:37.66\00:11:40.40
sea and they can
fish for the family and
00:11:40.40\00:11:43.00
provide for them.
As we fish for men
00:11:43.00\00:11:46.66
according to the master's plan,
00:11:46.66\00:11:48.26
we are guaranteed of success.
00:11:48.70\00:11:50.63
AWR is heard
across these waters and
00:11:51.26\00:11:53.70
islands and men
and women are been
00:11:53.70\00:11:55.30
caught for
Christ. Fishermen like
00:11:55.30\00:11:57.90
Apostle Peter are
becoming fishers of men.
00:11:57.90\00:12:00.66
From your station
here in Dar es Salaam,
00:12:01.76\00:12:04.00
how many languages
are you broadcasting?
00:12:04.00\00:12:06.16
Oh! We have two
languages, Swahili
00:12:06.86\00:12:09.90
and English, and
it's my understanding
00:12:10.40\00:12:13.43
that most people
in the city understand
00:12:13.43\00:12:15.53
either Swahili or
English or sometimes both.
00:12:15.53\00:12:18.20
Yes, so they're
getting the double dose of the
00:12:18.20\00:12:21.26
gospel message.
We don't take for
00:12:21.26\00:12:23.60
granted that
people understand both,
00:12:23.60\00:12:27.50
there are people in
the city who does not
00:12:28.16\00:12:29.56
really understand Swahili.
So, we take them I mean,
00:12:29.56\00:12:32.86
we bring them
programs to reach them.
00:12:32.86\00:12:35.63
Because yeah we
know this that the city
00:12:36.20\00:12:39.36
is having different
people. So how many people
00:12:39.36\00:12:42.40
does it take to pull together
00:12:42.40\00:12:43.66
these programs,
so you're the manager
00:12:43.66\00:12:45.43
how many staff
members do you have?
00:12:45.70\00:12:47.16
We have, we have
12 staff members,
00:12:48.30\00:12:51.93
none of them are
permanent employed
00:12:52.90\00:12:54.96
and we have three of
them that just now joined.
00:12:55.40\00:12:58.33
I don't imagine many
people appreciate how
00:12:59.33\00:13:01.86
much time and
energy it takes to start
00:13:01.86\00:13:04.16
programs from
nothing to build an
00:13:04.16\00:13:06.90
entire program just
one. But now you're doing
00:13:06.90\00:13:09.60
17 hours a day, 19,
19 excuse me 19 hours a
00:13:09.60\00:13:13.76
day of
programming that's phenomenal.
00:13:13.76\00:13:15.73
The sea, it's
full of abundant life,
00:13:20.10\00:13:22.56
here as seaweed
washes up on the land
00:13:23.76\00:13:25.83
look at and it
doesn't look too appetizing
00:13:26.56\00:13:28.60
but many of you buy
it in the supermarket.
00:13:28.60\00:13:30.73
We put it in so many
types of food and it's
00:13:31.50\00:13:33.73
extremely good,
it's high in nutritional
00:13:33.73\00:13:35.70
value not only for
humans, but for the
00:13:35.70\00:13:38.30
animal kingdom as
well. They harvest seaweed
00:13:38.30\00:13:41.26
in this area,
although this time of the year
00:13:41.26\00:13:43.33
it's not the time to harvest.
00:13:43.33\00:13:44.60
Apparently they say
that the sea is casting
00:13:45.40\00:13:47.50
off the seaweed
getting ready for new
00:13:47.50\00:13:50.13
crop, a new cycle but give a try
00:13:50.13\00:13:53.26
sometime it tastes pretty good.
00:13:53.26\00:13:54.70
Nungwi is a home
to hawksbill and green
00:14:01.63\00:14:03.70
turtles that are
being nurtured as part of a
00:14:03.70\00:14:05.80
local conservation initiative.
00:14:05.80\00:14:07.70
These turtles are
critically endangered,
00:14:08.33\00:14:10.10
like most sea
turtles they migrate great
00:14:10.53\00:14:12.60
distances to
feeding grounds returning
00:14:12.60\00:14:14.93
here to crawl
ashore and lay their eggs.
00:14:14.93\00:14:17.10
Those lucky
enough to reach maturity
00:14:17.43\00:14:19.33
can live up to 80
years. What's the biggest
00:14:19.33\00:14:23.40
these get, size
wise? Green turtle about
00:14:23.40\00:14:26.30
1 and half meters,
that's just the size of.
00:14:26.30\00:14:29.50
So, they're shells
this big yeah and how
00:14:29.50\00:14:32.93
much weight is in a
turtle that size up,
00:14:32.93\00:14:34.96
how many kilos?
Will be between 200
00:14:34.96\00:14:38.23
to 250 kilograms, 250 kilos oh
00:14:38.76\00:14:43.13
so five over 500 pounds.
00:14:43.13\00:14:45.26
Tell me about
the bones over here?
00:14:48.16\00:14:50.26
This is a humpback
whale on the 28th of
00:14:50.80\00:14:54.53
April; these
fishermen go out from around
00:14:54.53\00:14:57.96
for very far out
with these big nets.
00:14:57.96\00:15:01.13
So, they caught this
in their nets and they
00:15:01.40\00:15:06.36
dragged the boat and
the net behind so the
00:15:06.36\00:15:09.30
fishermen decided to
cut the net and let it
00:15:09.30\00:15:11.50
go in about two
week, one week time the
00:15:11.50\00:15:16.50
whale was found washed up on the
00:15:16.50\00:15:18.23
beach without the
nets. It kill it, and this,
00:15:18.23\00:15:22.20
between this, all the
discs of the spine, yeah.
00:15:24.76\00:15:29.56
I don't think I've ever
seen that, look at that.
00:15:30.36\00:15:34.73
Whales are warmed
blooded and have a
00:15:35.50\00:15:37.00
skeleton similar to
our own, the forelimbs
00:15:37.00\00:15:39.90
are their front
flippers and they have a bone
00:15:39.90\00:15:41.90
structure similar to
our own arms and hands.
00:15:41.90\00:15:44.43
All whales have
muscle with a high
00:15:45.56\00:15:46.96
level of
Myoglobin, this was a red
00:15:46.96\00:15:49.10
pigments similar
to hemoglobin that
00:15:49.10\00:15:51.06
stores oxygen in
the muscle for use
00:15:51.06\00:15:53.23
during deep
dives. When the whale
00:15:53.23\00:15:55.40
surfaces the
oxygen in the Myoglobin is
00:15:55.40\00:15:58.10
replaced, similar
to the process that
00:15:58.10\00:16:00.50
happens in our own
muscles during a sprint.
00:16:00.50\00:16:02.80
There is no doubt
that as we view the beauty
00:16:04.70\00:16:06.93
thoughtfulness,
creative genius and
00:16:07.26\00:16:09.66
love that went into
all we see, we're drawn
00:16:09.66\00:16:12.53
to the creator.
The God who seeks
00:16:12.53\00:16:14.76
to become our best friend.
00:16:14.76\00:16:16.70
I was in a museum
one time and there
00:16:19.26\00:16:21.16
they had the King of
Nineveh, they had his
00:16:21.40\00:16:24.26
welcome mat from his
palace and I couldn't
00:16:24.26\00:16:26.60
help but reach
down and touch that
00:16:26.60\00:16:28.20
welcome mat and
think that perhaps
00:16:28.20\00:16:30.20
Jonah had walked
across that very mat
00:16:30.20\00:16:32.50
to proclaim to
those people the day of
00:16:32.50\00:16:35.13
God, the judgment
of God was upon them
00:16:35.13\00:16:37.10
and they needed to
repent, then I also
00:16:37.10\00:16:39.63
thought about the
sea and Jonah running
00:16:39.63\00:16:42.33
away from the call of God.
00:16:42.33\00:16:43.83
Oh! did he run from
God? But you know, you
00:16:44.73\00:16:46.46
can't run from
God when God speaks to
00:16:46.46\00:16:48.40
your heart, when God calls you.
00:16:48.40\00:16:50.16
You need to
answer God, because he'll
00:16:51.00\00:16:52.66
continually work
and do everything he can
00:16:52.66\00:16:55.36
to will you, to call you
and in this case with Jonah.
00:16:55.36\00:16:58.60
They threw him
overboard because the
00:16:59.46\00:17:01.23
seas were so wild,
so ragging, they knew it
00:17:01.23\00:17:03.50
was a curse from
God and a huge fish the
00:17:03.50\00:17:06.10
Bible says came
up and swallowed him,
00:17:06.10\00:17:07.90
and he lived in
that fish for three days,
00:17:08.60\00:17:10.63
the stench and
the smells must have
00:17:10.93\00:17:12.90
been almost overwhelming to him.
00:17:12.90\00:17:14.46
And it gave him time
to think and he finally
00:17:14.86\00:17:17.30
decided to accept and
answer the call of God.
00:17:17.30\00:17:20.40
AWR producers Richard Khankiki
00:17:22.06\00:17:24.56
are committed to
serving the kingdom
00:17:24.56\00:17:26.26
of heaven and sharing Christ.
00:17:26.26\00:17:27.93
Pastor I was
talking to some young people
00:17:28.56\00:17:30.50
that have been listeners of the
00:17:30.50\00:17:31.46
program whose
hearts and lives were
00:17:31.46\00:17:33.50
drastically changed
by one, they said the
00:17:33.50\00:17:37.10
music, what type
of music do you play?
00:17:37.10\00:17:39.10
Okay, you see
Tanzania, Tanzania is growing
00:17:39.93\00:17:43.63
with music but our
FM radio is different
00:17:43.63\00:17:47.83
from other music
that have been spreading
00:17:47.83\00:17:49.96
in the city. You know with other
00:17:49.96\00:17:52.83
FM radios they
use Christian music to
00:17:52.83\00:17:56.30
entertain people,
but we does, we do
00:17:56.30\00:17:59.03
entertain people
but we have a target of
00:17:59.03\00:18:01.36
bringing them back to Christ.
00:18:01.36\00:18:02.96
So, it's music
with a message and a
00:18:03.50\00:18:05.60
mission, right. You know talking
00:18:05.60\00:18:07.96
biblical programs
all topics with the radio
00:18:07.96\00:18:11.30
the Adventist Radio
is the life, so you just
00:18:11.30\00:18:15.60
target as to what
time you're going to meet
00:18:15.60\00:18:19.20
people so you get the
time to prepare things
00:18:19.20\00:18:21.23
that will read,
although they ask for
00:18:21.23\00:18:23.86
God but they
should also touch their
00:18:24.50\00:18:27.00
the personal needs,
so we took, we took,
00:18:27.86\00:18:31.13
we took many time
to prepare for that.
00:18:31.96\00:18:33.83
So, you really
look at the whole person
00:18:34.20\00:18:36.80
yeah not just a
biblical topic but you,
00:18:37.36\00:18:39.63
you do family and
health and various
00:18:39.63\00:18:43.43
segments to kind
of round out the whole
00:18:43.43\00:18:47.26
person, to touch every
aspect of a person's life.
00:18:47.26\00:18:49.90
Yes, that's so now
it's my understanding on
00:18:49.90\00:18:53.36
the biblical part
of your programming,
00:18:53.36\00:18:55.33
there were times
you also use the Quran,
00:18:55.80\00:18:57.76
yes, could you
explain that a little more?
00:18:59.00\00:19:00.83
Yeah, we have a
pastor there who was
00:19:02.00\00:19:04.70
formally a Muslim
he's now our pastor
00:19:04.70\00:19:07.40
and he's the
director of foreign language
00:19:08.20\00:19:10.66
this town of Dar es Salaam.
00:19:11.36\00:19:13.80
So, he uses his
experience as he was
00:19:14.43\00:19:17.16
a Muslim comparing
with his experience
00:19:17.16\00:19:21.26
in Christianity.
Yeah, I personally have seen
00:19:21.26\00:19:23.43
some of those
results people that have
00:19:23.43\00:19:25.23
really appreciated that program.
00:19:25.23\00:19:26.73
Yes, this program
is somehow difficult
00:19:26.93\00:19:32.16
you cannot leave
it the hands person
00:19:32.16\00:19:34.50
who's not
experienced to Muslim, I mean
00:19:34.50\00:19:37.36
traditions but
this pastor knows them
00:19:37.36\00:19:40.53
very much so sometimes he invite
00:19:40.53\00:19:43.73
people, pastors on how to
00:19:43.73\00:19:46.03
to reach these
people the Muslims.
00:19:47.63\00:19:49.40
AWR is frontline mission radio.
00:19:51.86\00:19:54.23
Our first
priority is to travel where
00:19:54.50\00:19:56.40
missionaries
cannot go. We broadcast
00:19:56.40\00:19:59.20
thousands of hours
each day in seventy
00:19:59.20\00:20:01.43
major languages of the world.
00:20:01.43\00:20:02.83
AWR has the capability and
00:20:03.20\00:20:05.00
capacity of blanketing almost 80
00:20:05.00\00:20:06.90
percent of the
world's population.
00:20:06.90\00:20:08.56
Hindus,
Buddhist, Muslims, animist
00:20:09.93\00:20:12.26
or no belief at all.
God is using the radio
00:20:12.26\00:20:15.30
waves of AWR to
successfully call and
00:20:15.30\00:20:18.33
prepare a people
for his soon return.
00:20:18.33\00:20:20.23
But the work is not
finished your help is
00:20:20.80\00:20:23.26
needed, there are
still so many who must
00:20:23.26\00:20:26.33

00:20:52.90\00:20:54.96
listening to
Adventist World Radio from
00:20:54.96\00:20:56.70
Cairo and the great pyramids,
00:20:56.70\00:20:58.76
to the barren lands of Ethiopia.
00:21:02.06\00:21:03.73
From the vast
plains of Kenya and the
00:21:07.16\00:21:09.50
Maasai lands of the Serengeti,
00:21:09.50\00:21:11.10
to the slopes of
Mount Kilimanjaro.
00:21:12.76\00:21:14.56
All the way here to the exotic
00:21:16.90\00:21:18.36
shores of Zanzibar and beyond.
00:21:18.36\00:21:20.80
One of the
favorite things people like
00:21:23.40\00:21:25.16
about AWR is
it's stories, we have
00:21:25.16\00:21:28.70
stories from all over the world.
00:21:28.70\00:21:30.30
Some of them
involve danger; many of them
00:21:30.66\00:21:32.83
involve miracles of
God. But certainly all of
00:21:32.83\00:21:35.50
them involve the
miracle of changed lives.
00:21:35.50\00:21:38.30
I've written a
little book of some of the
00:21:38.50\00:21:40.20
favorite stories in
the face of death, another
00:21:40.20\00:21:43.33
radios given by
angels. Coming to Christ in a
00:21:43.80\00:21:48.43
Muslim country,

00:21:48.43\00:21:51.10
stories just write

00:22:18.06\00:22:23.23
Pastor, how many
evangelistic meetings
00:22:25.43\00:22:27.33
are held each year
in conjunction with AWR?
00:22:27.33\00:22:30.10
Now we have put a
wild strategy that we
00:22:32.03\00:22:34.10
should have for
instance last year we
00:22:34.33\00:22:37.20
conducted a four,
this year we have six.
00:22:37.50\00:22:40.86
Six campaigns, so
one every other month
00:22:41.33\00:22:43.46
virtually, yes we
have now six campaigns
00:22:43.46\00:22:46.53
for the whole
year and we're going
00:22:46.53\00:22:49.00
continue for 3, I
mean 4, 3 to 4 weeks each.
00:22:49.23\00:22:54.46
So, have AWR FM radio that's
00:22:55.20\00:22:57.46
broadcasting to
the entire city, yes.
00:22:57.46\00:23:00.06
Then you got the,
the VOP Bible studies
00:23:00.06\00:23:02.50
that are sent out
to the people, yes, the
00:23:02.50\00:23:04.23
churches are
working with those people
00:23:04.23\00:23:05.90
then all of your
team is holding an
00:23:06.53\00:23:08.40
evangelistic
series every other month.
00:23:08.40\00:23:10.76
And you are
reaping souls from that,
00:23:11.56\00:23:13.50
people are coming
to Christ aren't they?
00:23:13.50\00:23:15.00
Yeah, of course,
what do you see for radio,
00:23:15.00\00:23:17.70
do you believe
radio really works?
00:23:18.00\00:23:19.56
It works a lot
and I have started my
00:23:20.30\00:23:22.96
campaigns but we
should not, not we
00:23:22.96\00:23:25.86
should not but if
possible we stop and
00:23:25.86\00:23:29.23
invest much on
the public crusades,
00:23:29.23\00:23:33.10
becauseit cost a lot
but people do come then,
00:23:33.10\00:23:37.00
they came from, they
come in with one door
00:23:37.53\00:23:40.66
but they go out
with the other door.
00:23:40.66\00:23:42.60
So, instance of
invent, I mean investing
00:23:42.86\00:23:45.66
much in the public,
the outside campaigns,
00:23:46.06\00:23:49.76
I'm trying to
convince people that we should
00:23:51.10\00:23:52.63
take those
investment and put them in the
00:23:52.63\00:23:54.63
radio, so
because we can reach many
00:23:54.63\00:23:56.43
people outside.
What would you tell
00:23:56.43\00:23:58.30
people about why
they should support
00:23:58.30\00:24:00.53
the work of AWR?
As I have said before
00:24:01.00\00:24:04.40
that, some men limitation with
00:24:04.40\00:24:06.20
different
government in this country,
00:24:06.20\00:24:08.03
but with a radio
you cannot or you cannot
00:24:09.43\00:24:13.33
stop a person who is
listening to a radio.
00:24:13.33\00:24:15.20
Today it was me I
know it can become
00:24:15.46\00:24:18.80
very difficult to
reach the president of this
00:24:18.80\00:24:20.50
country, but if the
president is having his
00:24:20.50\00:24:23.86
radio in his bedroom nobody can.
00:24:23.86\00:24:27.70
So, it becomes
is that reach him,
00:24:28.63\00:24:30.20
that's why I said
that if possible we should
00:24:30.20\00:24:32.30
invest in AWR
and Wave I mean Radio
00:24:32.30\00:24:35.90
Waves because they
become very helping
00:24:35.90\00:24:39.10
hand to reach people for Christ.
00:24:39.10\00:24:40.86
So, in the city
you could reach the
00:24:41.16\00:24:42.43
prisoner and you could reach the
00:24:42.43\00:24:43.66
president, right
yeah of course let me tell
00:24:43.66\00:24:46.70
you one thing.
The president of this
00:24:46.70\00:24:48.00
country is in fact
always the FM Radio
00:24:48.00\00:24:50.46
that we use, we had
our program there but
00:24:50.46\00:24:54.50
nowadays he's
not with us he was up
00:24:54.50\00:24:56.40
front to the president.
So as he was conducting
00:24:56.40\00:24:59.70
his morning
programs normally he was
00:24:59.70\00:25:02.36
praying for the
president and one day
00:25:02.36\00:25:04.66
the president
brought him a message that
00:25:05.00\00:25:07.20
I'm very happy
about you have prayed for
00:25:07.20\00:25:09.13
me today. Alright,
yes Pastor I wanna thank
00:25:09.13\00:25:12.90
you so much, so do
I, I appreciate this and
00:25:12.90\00:25:15.60
may God bless you
and all of your work
00:25:15.60\00:25:17.16
to reach this
massive city with FM Radio
00:25:17.16\00:25:19.13
with AWR, thank
you, thank you very
00:25:19.13\00:25:20.86
much indeed. Thank
you, God bless you too.
00:25:20.86\00:25:22.83
There is no doubt
that everyone gets excited
00:25:26.13\00:25:28.53
when there is a
baptism, but there is
00:25:28.53\00:25:30.36
just something
about the gathering of the
00:25:30.36\00:25:32.26
church family and
friends participating
00:25:32.26\00:25:34.26
in a baptism in the Ocean.
00:25:34.70\00:25:36.06
Good morning, good morning,
00:25:40.23\00:25:41.23
How are you? Good to see you,
00:25:41.23\00:25:42.36
good to see you, same to you.
00:25:42.36\00:25:43.56
Now, are you
going to do the baptism,
00:25:43.56\00:25:44.93
yes oh! Good,
good, yes we're ready.
00:25:44.93\00:25:47.23
It never ceases
to amaze me how God
00:25:47.90\00:25:49.93
speaks to hearts
and lives through the
00:25:49.93\00:25:51.90
waves of AWR. He touches the
00:25:51.90\00:25:54.86
listeners in the
exact manner that
00:25:54.86\00:25:56.60
will cause them
to respond to him.
00:25:56.60\00:25:58.40
Our listeners today
are rejoicing in their
00:25:59.43\00:26:01.20
new found love with
their best friend Jesus Christ,
00:26:01.20\00:26:04.80
God never rests
and AWR never quits
00:26:05.86\00:26:08.53
broadcasting the
good news of his love and
00:26:08.53\00:26:10.60
salvation, which
means that the stories
00:26:10.60\00:26:13.43
of changed lives
just keep coming.
00:26:13.43\00:26:15.90
What a joyful day
this has been, seeing these
00:26:20.36\00:26:23.26
people baptized and
there by showing their
00:26:23.26\00:26:26.73
public commitment to
Jesus Christ that's our goal.
00:26:26.73\00:26:30.36
Adventist World
Radio doesn't just
00:26:30.96\00:26:32.60
want to send the
Radio waves out into
00:26:32.60\00:26:35.03
the air and not see
any follow up from those
00:26:35.03\00:26:38.83
waves, instead we
want to see people
00:26:38.83\00:26:41.70
listen and then respond and then
00:26:41.70\00:26:43.70
contact made and finally be
00:26:43.70\00:26:46.53
baptized in Jesus Christ.
00:26:46.53\00:26:49.06
That's why we
call our program making
00:26:49.83\00:26:51.60
waves, because
we not only make the
00:26:51.60\00:26:53.96
radio waves that go
out, but our goal is
00:26:53.96\00:26:57.20
to reach the
baptismal waves, when people
00:26:57.20\00:27:00.26
are laid down into
the water symbolizing
00:27:00.26\00:27:02.93
their death to sin
and the devil and being
00:27:02.93\00:27:05.96
raised in the new
resurrection and the
00:27:05.96\00:27:07.90
new life of Jesus
Christ. I had a wonderful
00:27:07.90\00:27:11.60
privilege of
extending a hand of welcome to
00:27:11.60\00:27:14.73
these people as
members of the church,
00:27:14.73\00:27:17.53
members of God's
family. Adventist World Radio
00:27:17.93\00:27:21.70
wants to continue
doing that around the
00:27:21.70\00:27:24.06
world and we
will with your help.
00:27:24.06\00:27:26.76
