Well we've been visiting
with Shahbaz Makhshnia and
00:00:01.96\00:00:04.97
you know he was an immigrant
00:00:05.00\00:00:06.84
in the United States
when he heard the gospel
00:00:06.87\00:00:09.24
and he said he probably would
never heard the gospel in Iran.
00:00:09.27\00:00:12.17
How many different languages
are there in the United States,
00:00:12.21\00:00:18.25
immigrants? What are you doing,
I know most of your materials
00:00:18.28\00:00:22.55
now are in Persian or Arabic.
What are your aspirations for
00:00:22.58\00:00:26.65
the future?
00:00:26.69\00:00:28.02
Today in the U.S. there are 232
nationalities that live in the
00:00:28.06\00:00:32.09
United States, 232 immigrants.
There are no people that were
00:00:32.13\00:00:35.26
born here. Now many of them
have children that are first
00:00:35.30\00:00:40.04
generation Americans.
But 69 percent of those 232
00:00:40.07\00:00:45.54
nationalities they speak pretty
well English, very good to
00:00:45.57\00:00:49.64
pretty well. And the rest,
the other 31 percent don't speak
00:00:49.68\00:00:53.78
English. So we want to have more
material in other languages as
00:00:53.82\00:00:57.42
well. And we would like to
be able eventually have even
00:00:57.45\00:01:01.22
individuals that will work with
the ministry that will work with
00:01:01.26\00:01:06.36
those people groups. So we want
to expand this as much as we can
00:01:06.39\00:01:10.33
as long as we have and in the
short time that we have you know
00:01:10.37\00:01:14.14
So this is what I want.
00:01:14.17\00:01:16.27
One thing that I wanted to say
is the nice thing about reaching
00:01:16.30\00:01:18.87
immigrants here in the
United States is often, like I
00:01:18.91\00:01:22.68
mentioned those college students
I didn't finish my thought,
00:01:22.71\00:01:25.65
often they learn about Jesus,
they get excited then they
00:01:25.68\00:01:29.85
return to their home and they
share. We've had some amazing
00:01:29.88\00:01:34.76
conversion stories of 3ABN
viewers. Oh, just check out
