>> HELLO AND WELCOME TO OUR
THURSDAY NIGHT LIVE, THIS IS A
00:01:08.93\00:01:12.93
LIVE PROGRAM. WE'RE
COMING TO HERE FROM WEST
00:01:12.93\00:01:17.77
FRANKFORT SLASH THOMPSONVILLE,
ILLINOIS, THANK YOU FOR JOINING
00:01:17.77\00:01:21.38
US AS YOU DO EACH AND EVERY DAY.
WE HAVE A VERY EXCITING PROGRAM
00:01:21.38\00:01:26.31
THIS EVENING. WE HAVE
A LOT OF VIDEO ROLLS, 16
00:01:26.31\00:01:29.72
IN NUMBER. WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT MISSIONS.
00:01:29.72\00:01:32.05
I REMEMBER AS A CHILD IN SABBATH
SCHOOL, WE WOULD SING A LITTLE
00:01:32.05\00:01:35.82
SONG THAT WOULD SAY SOMETHING
ALONG THE LINES LIKE THE BOAT
00:01:35.82\00:01:39.33
GOES SAILING TO
THE MISSION LAND.
00:01:39.33\00:01:41.43
REMEMBER THAT? >> I DO.
00:01:41.43\00:01:44.07
>> THE PLANE, THE
TRAIN -- >> THE BOAT.
00:01:44.07\00:01:46.84
>> THE BOAT. YEP, THAT'S RIGHT.
00:01:46.84\00:01:50.04
AND THEN MY MOM, A BOOK CAME
OUT-CALLED "TOMMY GOES TO
AFRICA," AND MY MOM WOULD READ
00:01:50.04\00:02:01.38
THAT TO ME ABOUT THE LITTLE
BOY THAT WOULD GO TO AFRICA.
00:02:01.38\00:02:05.82
>> THE BOOK CAME OUT
BEFORE YOU WERE BORN?
00:02:05.82\00:02:08.26
>> DID IT, REALLY?
THANKS FOR CLARIFYING THAT.
00:02:08.26\00:02:12.43
BUT MISSIONS IS VERY IMPORTANT,
AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT 3ABN IS
00:02:12.43\00:02:16.30
ALSO ALL ABOUT.
SPREADING THE GOSPEL AROUND THE
00:02:16.30\00:02:20.27
WORLD, AND WE'RE GOING TO
HEAR SOME AMAZING STORIES THIS
00:02:20.27\00:02:25.41
EVENING. >> ABSOLUTELY.
00:02:25.41\00:02:28.61
WHEN DANNY SHELTON WAS INSPIRED
BY GOD TO BUILD 3ABN, THAT IS
00:02:28.61\00:02:37.59
THE MISSION OF THE SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST CHURCH, WHICH WE ARE
00:02:37.59\00:02:42.76
PROUD TO BE A PART OF. OUR
GUESTS TONIGHT ARE ADVENTIST
00:02:42.76\00:02:52.33
MISSION, BUT THEIR GOAL
IS SPREADING THE GOSPEL.
00:02:52.33\00:02:55.24
>> AMEN. >> THIS
MESSAGE, FOUND IN THIS
00:02:55.24\00:02:59.11

AT THAT POINT, GLOBAL MISSION,
AND YOU WERE COMING WITH MIKE

FIRST TIME THEY HAVE MET YOU.

00:05:59.45\00:06:03.02
AND I USED TO COME OUT WHEN THEY
STARTED AN EARLY NEWS PROGRAM,
00:06:03.02\00:06:07.93
AND THAT WAS WHEN MIKE
RYAN FIRST GAME TO THE GC, WHEN
00:06:07.93\00:06:11.97

MISS MISSIONARIES.
00:06:44.30\00:06:48.04

00:07:05.52\00:07:08.42
I FEEL LIKE THIS IS HOME,
BECAUSE 3ABN HAS BEEN AIRING THE

TV SHOW "I WANT THE
CITY" THAT I HOSTED.
00:07:13.06\00:07:17.43

>> AND THIS IS
YOUR FIRST TIME HERE?
00:07:33.18\00:07:35.55
>> IT IS. IT'S THE
FIRST TIME TO BE HERE
00:07:35.55\00:07:38.82
IN THE HEARTLAND OF THE U.S.
>> IT'S HARVEST TIME HERE WITH
00:07:38.82\00:07:45.59
CORN AND SOYBEANS AND
COMBINES IN THE FIELD.
00:07:45.59\00:07:50.40
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL TIME OF YEAR,
AND IT'S A GREAT REMINDER OF
00:07:50.40\00:07:56.24
WHAT MISSIONARY WORK IS
ALL ABOUT, AND THAT IS THE GET
00:07:56.24\00:07:59.94
HARVEST. >> DO YOU HAVE FAMILY?
00:07:59.94\00:08:03.01
>> I DO. WE WERE
IN THAILAND, AND THE
00:08:03.01\00:08:08.18
PHILIPPINES, WE WERE THERE
FUNDED BY THINK WORLD CHURCH.
00:08:08.18\00:08:11.59
OUR FAMILY WAS ABLE TO BE THERE
A DECADE, AND THERE WE WERE
00:08:11.59\00:08:17.56
CHURCH PLANTING IN BANGKOK,
THAILAND, SO IF YOU WERE TO COME
00:08:17.56\00:08:22.76
TO MY HOUSE, YOU WOULD MEET MY
LOVELY BRIDE, WHO WE HAVE BEEN
00:08:22.76\00:08:30.57
MARRIED FOR 26 YEARS, AND
I HAVE A SON AND A DAUGHTER.
00:08:30.57\00:08:36.71
AND WE HAVE TWO CATS FROM BAN
00:08:36.71\00:08:42.95
BANGKOK, THAILAND.
>> ARE THEY REALLY?
00:08:42.95\00:08:45.09
>> YES, THAT'S PART OF THE
MISSION CONTINUES TO CARRY ON IN
00:08:45.09\00:08:50.69
OUR HEART. >>
THESE GUYS WERE JUST
00:08:50.69\00:08:53.86
STRAYS -- >> IN ONE SENSE --
00:08:53.86\00:08:55.16
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >>
THAT'S QUITE A PLANE RIDE FOR
00:08:55.16\00:08:59.70
THEM. >> THAT'S
TRUE, WE BROUGHT THEM
00:08:59.70\00:09:01.84
FROM THAILAND TO THE PHILIPPINES
AND THEN TO WASHINGTON, D.C.,
00:09:01.84\00:09:09.38
WHERE I NOW WORK
AT THE GC. >> WOW.
00:09:09.38\00:09:10.38
I KNOW YOU HAVE A
SCRIPTURE THAT YOU WANT TO READ.
00:09:10.38\00:09:11.78
BUT I WANT TO ASK,
WHY IS MISSIONS IMPORTANT?
00:09:11.78\00:09:15.92
I MEAN OBVIOUSLY YOU SPENT MANY
YEARS, YOUR FAMILIES HAVE BEEN
00:09:15.92\00:09:20.09
INVOLVED IN MISSIONS.
WHY IS MISSION WORK SO
00:09:20.09\00:09:22.89
IMPORTANT? >> IT'S
THE REASON THAT WE ARE
00:09:22.89\00:09:25.56
HERE. WE COULD HAVE A NICE COZY
00:09:25.56\00:09:30.17
COUNTRY CLUB WHERE WE COME
TOGETHER ON SABBATH MORNING AND
00:09:30.17\00:09:35.37
THEN GO HOME AGAIN, BUT
THAT'S NOT WHY WE'RE HERE.
00:09:35.37\00:09:40.01
WE'RE HERE TO
SHARE THE WORD OF GOD.
00:09:40.01\00:09:42.41
>> SO BY YOU SAYING WE, WOULD
THAT INCLUDE THE PERSON AT HOME
00:09:42.41\00:09:46.58
OR US FIVE ON THE
SET? >> NO, NO, EVERYONE.
00:09:46.58\00:09:51.29
>> SO SOME IN THEIR HOMES ARE
SAYING, I'M IN MY OWN HOUSE A
00:09:51.29\00:09:55.32
LITTLE APARTMENT
BUILDING. I CAN BE A MISSIONARY?
00:09:55.32\00:09:59.19
>> WELL, OF COURSE PEOPLE
ARE SOMETIMES PREVENTED BY
00:09:59.19\00:10:04.77
LOGISTICS, HEALTH, OR WHATEVER,
CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT WE CAN BE A
00:10:04.77\00:10:08.84
MISSIONARY TO THE PERSON
NECK DOOR, AND SUPPORT MISSION
00:10:08.84\00:10:13.74
THROUGH OUR PRAYERS,
MISSION OFFERINGS, WHATEVER.
00:10:13.74\00:10:16.64
WE CAN BE A PARTICIPANT
EVEN IF WE ARE HEALTH BOUND.
00:10:16.64\00:10:20.08
>> WELL SAID. ANY
OTHER COMMENTS ON WHY
00:10:20.08\00:10:24.75
MISSIONS ARE IMPORTANT. >>
I'M PASSIONATE THAT I BELIEVE
00:10:24.75\00:10:30.03
GOD HAS CALLED US, AND LIKE
GARY WAS SAYING, THIS IS WHY WE
00:10:30.03\00:10:35.56
EXIST. AND THE
SCRIPTURE THAT MOTIVATES
00:10:35.56\00:10:38.83
ME IS FROM REVOLUTION 14, WHERE
THE THREE ANGELS ARE TAKING THE
00:10:38.83\00:10:48.78
EVERY-LASTING GOSPEL TO EVERY
NATION, TONGUE, AND PEOPLE.
00:10:48.78\00:10:56.95
AND WHETHER THAT'S HERE OR
AT HOME, OR UNREACHED LANGUAGE
00:10:56.95\00:11:02.22
GROUPS, THAT'S
WHY WE EXIST. >> AMEN.
00:11:02.22\00:11:04.83
>> AND TO ME MISSION IS -- IF
YOU REALLY HAVE SOMETHING GOOD,
00:11:04.83\00:11:09.66
YOU KNOW, HOW
CAN YOU NOT SHARE IT?
00:11:09.66\00:11:12.13
PEOPLE SAY YOU GUYS ARE ALL
ABOUT NUMBERS AND -- YOU KNOW,
00:11:12.13\00:11:15.30
IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING GOOD,
AND YOU REALLY BELIEVE WHAT THE
00:11:15.30\00:11:21.91
ADVENTIST CHURCH TEACHES,
HOW CAN YOU NOT SHARE IT?
00:11:21.91\00:11:24.65
>> AMEN. IT'S ABOUT JESUS.
00:11:24.65\00:11:30.09
IF YOU TRULY FALL IN LOVE WITH
JESUS, YOU WANT TO SHARE THAT.
00:11:30.09\00:11:34.42
>> AMEN. >> THE
SCRIPTURE I'M GOING TO
00:11:34.42\00:11:37.26
SHARE GOES ALONG
PERFECTLY WITH YOURS.
00:11:37.26\00:11:40.86
THIS ONE IS FROM MATTHEW
28:18-20, THE GREAT COMMISSION.
00:11:40.86\00:11:48.30
JESUS CAME AND SPOKE TO
THEM SAYING -- THIS IS NEW KING
00:11:48.30\00:11:52.77
JAMES -- HAS BEEN GIVEN
TO ME IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH.
00:11:52.77\00:12:00.52
GO THEREFORE.
TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL
00:12:00.52\00:12:07.39
THINGS THAT I HAVE COMMANDED
YOU, AND KNOW I AM WITH YOU
00:12:07.39\00:12:13.09
ALWAYS, EVEN UNTIL THE
E EBB -- END OF THE AGE.
00:12:13.09\00:12:18.67
SO TONIGHT AS YOU HEAR THE
STORIES OF MISSION WORK ALL OVER
00:12:18.67\00:12:22.00
THE WORLD, I PRAY THAT YOUR
HEART WILL BE TOUCHED TO SUPPORT
00:12:22.00\00:12:27.04
ADVENTIST MISSION, TO SUPPORT
THE GOSPEL MESSAGE, THE LOVE OF
00:12:27.04\00:12:31.85
JESUS, GOING TO A
LOST AND DIEING WORLD.
00:12:31.85\00:12:34.58
RIGHT NOW BEFORE WE
EVEN GO TO THE FIRST ROLE.
00:12:34.58\00:12:38.52
I CAN'T TO PUT UP CONTACT
INFORMATION FOR ADVENTIST
00:12:38.52\00:12:41.92

WE SUPPORT MISSION WORK WITH OUR

AND THAT HELPS THE
GOSPEL GO THAT MUCH FURTHER.
00:13:30.41\00:13:33.84
>> AMEN. SO WE HAVE
A LOT OF ROLLS TO GO
00:13:33.84\00:13:36.85

COUNTRY OF TAIWAN, AND WE

00:13:39.11\00:13:42.42
>> OKAY. SHOULD
WE GO TO THAT NOW?
00:13:42.42\00:13:45.22
>> YES. >> IS
THIS THE BUTTERFLY ONE?
00:13:45.22\00:13:47.52
>> YES. >> OH, THIS IS FUN.
00:13:47.52\00:13:50.16
>> EVERY YEAR THOUSANDS OF
BUTTERFLIES COME TO THE VALLEY
00:13:50.16\00:13:54.00
IN TAIWAN. THEY FLY
HERE JUST BEFORE THE
00:13:54.00\00:13:57.07
WINTER IN SEARCH OF WARMTH
TO SURVIVE THE COLDER MONTHS.
00:13:57.07\00:14:01.07
IN THIS VALLEY, THERE ARE
MORE BUTTERFLIES THAN PEOPLE.
00:14:01.07\00:14:04.24
IN FACT THE LOCAL
NATIVE COMMUNITY IS SMALL.
00:14:04.24\00:14:07.34
THERE ARE ONLY 600
PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE.
00:14:07.34\00:14:10.58
THIS PERSON LIVES IN THE VALLEY,
AS AN ARTIST HE WAS INSPIRED BY
00:14:10.58\00:14:14.98
GOD'S DESIGNS AND NATURE.
TOURISTS ADMIRE HIS UNIQUE ART,
00:14:14.98\00:14:21.22
INCLUDING HIS FAVORITE PIECES
WHICH ARE PATTERNED AFTER THE
00:14:21.22\00:14:26.86
BUTTERFLIES. HE HAS
USED THESE WORKS TO COVER
00:14:26.86\00:14:32.73
THE SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST CHURCH.
00:14:32.73\00:14:40.88
HIS CHARMING AND COLORFUL METAL
BUTTERFLIES HELP TO MAKE THIS
00:14:40.88\00:14:47.38
CHURCH STANDOUT.
HOWEVER, IT'S NOT THE METAL,
00:14:47.38\00:14:52.12
WOODEN OR CLOTH ORNAMENTS THAT
MAKES THIS CHURCH KNOWN IN THE
00:14:52.12\00:14:57.39
COMMUNITY. EVERY
DAY A GROUP OF LOCAL
00:14:57.39\00:15:00.73
ADVENTISTS START
THE DAY WITH PRAYER.
00:15:00.73\00:15:03.50
THEY ASK GOD TO BLESS THEIR
EFFORTS TO REACH THE PEOPLE
00:15:03.50\00:15:06.63
AROUND THEM, THEN THEY READ FROM
GOD'S WORD AND STRETCH THEIR
00:15:06.63\00:15:10.84
MUSCLES TO BEGIN
AN IMPORTANT MINISTRY.
00:15:10.84\00:15:13.51
TODAY THEY WILL COMPLETE THEIR
339TH LAP AROUND AND THROUGH THE
00:15:13.51\00:15:19.01
COMMUNITY. THIS IS THE CHURCH'S
00:15:19.01\00:15:23.85
BLOCK -- WALKING
AND PRAYING MINISTRY.
00:15:23.85\00:15:27.59
THEY WALK FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE.
AS CHURCH MEMBERS POUR INTO THE
00:15:27.59\00:15:31.96
STREETS, THEY SMILE AND
WARMLY GREET THEIR NEIGHBORS.
00:15:31.96\00:15:34.76
WHEN SOMEONE INVITES THEM INTO
THEIR HOME, THEY PAUSE TO PRAY
00:15:34.76\00:15:38.80
FOR THE MANY WHO ARE IN NEED
THERE, AND WHEN THEY LEAVE THE
00:15:38.80\00:15:43.04
HOME, THE PEOPLE FEEL
BLESSED BY THESIS IT IS.
00:15:43.04\00:15:46.31
CHURCH MEMBERS ALSO STOP AT
THEIR OWN HOMES FOR A SPECIAL
00:15:46.31\00:15:50.58
PRAYER. EACH
MEMBER OF THE WALKING AND
00:15:50.58\00:15:54.08
PRAYING MINISTRY, ALSO HOST
A SMALL GROUP BIBLE STUDY ON A
00:15:54.08\00:16:00.06
ROTATING BASIS. THEY
PRAY FOR THEIR NEIGHBORS
00:16:00.06\00:16:02.36
WHO ARE
LEARNING ABOUT THE BIBLE.
00:16:02.36\00:16:04.86
THESE WALKING BUTTERFLIES
POLLINATE THEIR COMMUNITY WITH
00:16:04.86\00:16:09.23
GOD'S LOVE. BECAUSE
OF THIS MINISTRY, THE
00:16:09.23\00:16:12.27
CHURCH MEMBERSHIP HAS DOUBLED
OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS.
00:16:12.27\00:16:16.84
MEMBERS HAVE ALSO
GROWN CLOSER TO EACH OTHER.
00:16:16.84\00:16:21.04
PLEASE PRAY FOR THE BUTTERFLY
CHURCH, AND FOR THE CHRIST-LIKE
00:16:21.04\00:16:25.81
MINISTRY THEY DO HERE. ¤
00:16:25.81\00:16:31.42
>> THAT'S INCREDIBLE. I
LIKE HOW THEY PUT THAT, THESE
00:16:31.42\00:16:36.06
WALKING BUTTERFLIES
POLLINATING THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
00:16:36.06\00:16:38.83
IN OTHER WORDS THEY ARE PEOLE,
AND THEY ARE PRAYER WALKING TOO.
00:16:38.83\00:16:42.63
>> YES. >> THIS
IS JUST THE BEGINNING
00:16:42.63\00:16:45.03
OF -- WE HAVE 15 MORE
TO GO TONIGHT OUT OF 16.
00:16:45.03\00:16:48.30
BUT IT GIVES PRACTICAL WAYS
THAT WE CAN SHARE IN OUR OWN
00:16:48.30\00:16:54.08
COMMUNITY. WHAT AN IMPACT.
00:16:54.08\00:16:55.41
>> THAT'S ACTUALLY ONE OF
THE THINGS WE LIKE TO DO IN THE
00:16:55.41\00:17:00.12
VIDEOS, AND GARY HAS SAID TO US,
YOU KNOW, TRY TO FILM STORIES
00:17:00.12\00:17:04.12
THAT OTHER PEOPLE CAN LOOK
AT AND SAY, WE COULD DO THAT.
00:17:04.12\00:17:08.46
WHY DON'T WE DO THAT?
SOMETHING THAT IS INSPIRATIONAL
00:17:08.46\00:17:15.70
FROM A RELIGIOUS SENSE,
BUT ALSO A PRACTICAL SENSE.
00:17:15.70\00:17:21.04
>> YOU KNOW, MAYBE I CAN'T FLY
OVERSEAS, OR DO ANY OF THAT, BUT
00:17:21.04\00:17:26.04
I CAN PRAY. WE ALL CAN PRAY.
00:17:26.04\00:17:28.41
WE ALL CAN REACH OUT.
SO THAT'S VERY PRACTICABLE.
00:17:28.41\00:17:34.38
>> AND YOU NOTICE ALL
OF THE KIDS THERE TOO.
00:17:34.38\00:17:38.69
ALL AGES IS
IMPORTANT TOO, ISN'T IT?
00:17:38.69\00:17:42.36
>> VITALLY IMPORTANT.
IT'S NOT THE CHURCH FOR MY AGE,
00:17:42.36\00:17:47.23
IT'S THE CHURCH FOR ALL AGES.
>> THE SABBATH IS A SPECIAL
00:17:47.23\00:17:51.90
SABBATH IN THAT IT IS CREATION
SABBATH, AND WE REMEMBER THAT
00:17:51.90\00:17:55.30
GOD CREATED THE WORLD, AND
CREATED US, AND SO ADVENTIST
00:17:55.30\00:18:00.71
CHURCHES AROUND THE WORLD WILL
BE FOCUSING ON CREATION THIS
00:18:00.71\00:18:03.98
SABBATH. THERE ARE
RESOURCES -- CAN I SAY
00:18:03.98\00:18:08.72
GOOGLE? >> YES.
00:18:08.72\00:18:10.05
>> YOU WILL FIND RESOURCES AND
NICE VIDEO AND FILMS OUT THERE.
00:18:10.05\00:18:15.52
WE DIDN'T DO THEM, BUT THE
CHURCH CENTER THAT FOCUSES ON
00:18:15.52\00:18:21.73
CREATIONISM AND SCIENCE AND
GEOLOGY AND ALL OF THAT, AND
00:18:21.73\00:18:24.67
LOOKS AT IT. >> FANTASTIC.
00:18:24.67\00:18:26.90
DID YOU WANT TO SAY
SOMETHING, PASTOR DOUG.
00:18:26.90\00:18:29.77
>> LATER. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:18:29.77\00:18:31.64
>> HE PUT YOU ON THE SPOT.
>> SHALL WE GO TO THE NEXT ROLL?
00:18:31.64\00:18:35.91
>> YES. >> WHAT IS THIS?
00:18:35.91\00:18:38.81
>> THIS IS THE
FAULKLAND EYE LACKEDS.
00:18:38.81\00:18:51.23
>> THESE ISLANDS ARE
AN ESTEEMED ARCHIPELAGO.
00:18:51.23\00:19:00.10
THEY OFTEN FACE SEVERE WEATHER,
SUCH AS SLEET AND SNOW, VERY LOW
00:19:00.10\00:19:06.94
TEMPERATURES, AND HIGH-SPEED
WINDS THAT BLOW ALL YEAR.
00:19:06.94\00:19:13.18
¤ >> THE PEOPLE
ARE ALSO ISOLATED.
00:19:13.18\00:19:15.15
THEY ARE SO FAR OFF OF THE MAP,
THAT IT IS ONE OF THE CLOSEST
00:19:15.15\00:19:22.06
CITIES TO ANTARCTICA. HOW
CAN THE GOOD NEWS REACH SUCH
00:19:22.06\00:19:29.50
AN ISOLATED PEOPLE? IN
2012, LEONARD AND LINDA, A
00:19:29.50\00:19:37.81
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST MISSIONARY
COUPLE ARRIVED IN THE FAULKLAND
00:19:37.81\00:19:44.45
ISLANDS. THE
PEOPLE HERE HAVE LITTLE OR
00:19:44.45\00:19:46.51
NO INTEREST IN RELIGION.
THE CHURCHES REMAIN PRACTICALLY
00:19:46.51\00:19:52.79
EMPTY. MANY SPENT
THEIR LIVES WITHOUT
00:19:52.79\00:19:54.89
EVER ATTENDING A CHURCH.
BESIDES THE NEED TO ADAPT,
00:19:54.89\00:20:00.10
LEONARD AND LINDA HAD TO FIND
CREATIVE WAYS TO PRESENT THE
00:20:00.10\00:20:04.77
LOVE OF JESUS TO
FAULKLANDERS IN A SENSITIVE WAY.
00:20:04.77\00:20:09.37
>> Translator: I THINK THE WAY
TO SHARE THE GOSPEL IN A PLACE
00:20:09.37\00:20:13.07
THAT IS NOT SPIRITUAL OR
RELIGIOUS, RATHER I WOULD SAY
00:20:13.07\00:20:17.48
THAT THAT PEOPLE ARE SPIRITUAL,
BUT NOT RELIGIOUS -- IS THROUGH
00:20:17.48\00:20:23.52
POSITIVE ACTIONS. WE
TRY TO PRACTICE LOVE,
00:20:23.52\00:20:28.56
GOODWILL, AND MEET PEOPLE'S
NEEDS TO WIN THEIR HEARTS, AND
00:20:28.56\00:20:31.89
WHEN WE ARE ASKED, WE
CAN THEN EXPLAIN THE THINGS.
00:20:31.89\00:20:39.07
>> LEONARD AND LINDA KNOW THAT
THE ONLY WAY TO REACH PEOPLE IS
00:20:39.07\00:20:43.41
BY FOLLOWING CHRIST'S EXAMPLE.
THEY MINGLE BY SHOWING INTEREST
00:20:43.41\00:20:48.48
IN THE PEOPLE, AND MAKE
FRIENDS AS THEY CARE OF THEIR
00:20:48.48\00:20:54.25
WELL-BEING. >>
Translator: WE LOOK FOR MANY
00:20:54.25\00:20:58.72
WAYS WHERE WE CAN
MAKE A CONTRIBUTION.
00:20:58.72\00:21:01.32
I STARTED
VOLUNTEERING AT A SENIOR HOME.
00:21:01.32\00:21:06.06
I PICK THEM UP FROM THE
HOSPITAL, SERVE THEM A CUP OF
00:21:06.06\00:21:10.13
COFFEE OR TEA, AND
PLAY SCRABBLE WITH THEM.
00:21:10.13\00:21:13.54
I WOULD VISIT THEM
AS A PERSONAL FRIEND.
00:21:13.54\00:21:20.01
WE ALSO ESTABLISHED
A TELEVISION MINISTRY.
00:21:20.01\00:21:23.14
INITIALLY, WE WANTED TO DO
RADIO, BUT WE WERE OFFERED A TV
00:21:23.14\00:21:27.02
CHANNEL. SO WE ARE
COMPILING TV PROGRAMS
00:21:27.02\00:21:30.52
FROM DIFFERENT
ADVENTIST VIDEO MINISTRIES.
00:21:30.52\00:21:37.33
HERE, WE HAVE THE SYSTEM
FOR TRANSMITTING A TV CHANNEL.
00:21:37.33\00:21:41.73
WE CURRENTLY HAVE ABOUT 20
PROGRAMS THAT ARE FEATURED.
00:21:41.73\00:21:48.84
THEY ARE DEVOTIONAL HEALTH
PROGRAMS, EXERCISE PROGRAMS,
00:21:48.84\00:21:53.78
PAINTING, PHOTOGRAPHY, WILDLIFE,
AND A NUMBER OF INTERESTING
00:21:53.78\00:21:57.55
SHOWS FOR THE VIEWERSHIP
WE HAVE HERE IN THE CITY.

TRAINING, AS A SERVICE TO THE
00:22:02.42\00:22:06.62

OFFER ENGLISH CLASSES TO SOUTH

AMERICAN IMMIGRANTS
LIVING ON THE ISLAND.
00:22:09.39\00:22:12.23

WANT TO INVITE YOU TO A
SPECIAL MEETING ON FRIDAY.
00:22:21.67\00:22:27.18
THIS WILL BE A RELIGIOUS
MEETING, AND YOU ARE WELCOME TO
00:22:27.18\00:22:34.12
PARTICIPATE. IT'S
NOT AN ENGLISH CLASS, BUT
00:22:34.12\00:22:39.49
IT WILL HELP YOUR ENGLISH
LEARNING, AND MOST STUDENTS COME
00:22:39.49\00:22:45.49
AND CONTINUE COMING.
00:22:45.49\00:22:51.43
>> Translator: WE WERE ALSO
ABLE TO WORK IN THE FIELD OF
00:22:53.84\00:22:57.07
EDUCATION. I
VOLUNTEERED AS A HIGH SCHOOL
00:22:57.07\00:23:00.64
SUBSTITUTE TEACHER.
THIS HAS OPENED DOORS FOR US.
00:23:00.64\00:23:04.55
IT ALLOWED US THE OPPORTUNITY TO
BE KNOWN AS GOOD PEOPLE WHO ARE
00:23:04.55\00:23:09.18
WORKING FOR POSITIVE
CHANGE ON THE ISLAND.
00:23:09.18\00:23:14.76
>> WHEN THEY BEGAN MISSION WORK
IN THE FAULKLAND ISLANDS, THERE
00:23:14.76\00:23:18.86
WAS NO ESTABLISHED CENTER FOR
THESE ACTIVITIES, SO THEY USED
00:23:18.86\00:23:22.76
THEIR OWN HOME. IN
THEIR LIVING ROOM, THEY SANG,
00:23:22.76\00:23:25.53
TAUGHT, AND PRAYED FOR GOD
TO BLESS THE PEOPLE, AND FOR AN
00:23:25.53\00:23:29.10
ADVENTIST PRESENCE
TO BE ESTABLISHED HERE.
00:23:29.10\00:23:31.04
UNTIL RECENTLY, ONLY THE
BRITISH COULD OWN PROPRTY ON THE
00:23:31.04\00:23:35.91
ISLANDS, BUT NOW
LAWS HAVE CHANGED.
00:23:35.91\00:23:40.08
THE ADVENTIST CHURCH PURCHASED A
HOUSE TO HOST A SEGMENT PROGRAM.
00:23:40.08\00:23:45.42
GOD ANSWERED
LEONARD AND LINDA'S PRAYERS.
00:23:45.42\00:23:49.39
TODAY ANOTHER MISSIONARY COUPLE
CARRIES ON THE WORK IN THE
00:23:49.39\00:23:53.83
FAULKLAND ISLANDS. THEY
CONTINUE TO LABOR FOR SOULS
00:23:53.83\00:23:58.03
AS THEY GROW GOD'S
FAMILY BY CHURCH PLANTING.
00:23:58.03\00:24:01.67
PLEASE PRAY FOR THE WORK
IN THE FAULKLAND ISLANDS.
00:24:01.67\00:24:05.54
PRAY THAT THE LOVE OF JESUS WILL
FILL THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE,
00:24:05.54\00:24:09.11

HOW CAN THEY --
WHO PAYS THEIR SALARY?
00:24:29.33\00:24:32.33
I MEAN, HOW DOES THAT WORK?
>> WELL, IT COMES FROM THE TIES
00:24:32.33\00:24:37.61
AND THE MISSIONAL
FRAMES OF CHURCH MEMBERS.
00:24:37.61\00:24:42.21
THAT MAKES IT
POSSIBLE FOR THEM TO GO.
00:24:42.21\00:24:44.81

A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK MISSION

EXPERIENCE, I HAVE SEEN GOD
WORK IN SO MANY INCREDIBLE WAYS.
00:26:38.39\00:26:42.13
I WOULD ONLY SAY THAT I HAVE
BEEN A REAL CHRISTIAN FOR THE
00:26:42.13\00:26:45.40
PAST YEAR, AND A LOT OF THAT IS
DUE TO MY EXPERIENCE BEING OUT
00:26:45.40\00:26:51.71
HERE IN PALAO. FOR
THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER BEEN
00:26:51.71\00:26:59.91
HERE BEFORE, IT'S LIKE
NATURE TIMES A HUNDRED.
00:26:59.91\00:27:05.85
IT'S SO PRISTINE, SO CALM, SO
PEACEFUL, AND THE PEOPLE ARE SO
00:27:05.85\00:27:10.49
LOVING AND SO GIVING. FOR
ME PERSONALLY, I FEEL MORE
00:27:10.49\00:27:14.56
AT HOME HERE THN I DO EVEN BACK
HOME IN THE STATES WHERE I'M
00:27:14.56\00:27:18.80
FROM. I HAVE BEEN
HERE FOR FOUR YEARS,
00:27:18.80\00:27:22.24
AND I'M CURRENTLY THE CHAPLAIN
OF BOTH THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
00:27:22.24\00:27:27.11
AND HIGH SCHOOL, WHILE TEACHING
JUNIOR AND SENIOR [ INAUDIBLE ]
00:27:27.11\00:27:33.18
AT THE HIGH SCHOOL. FOR
ME THE THING THAT KEEPS ME
00:27:33.18\00:27:36.79
COMING BACK HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE
KIDS AND I LOVE GETTING TO SEE
00:27:36.79\00:27:43.12
THEM GROW IN A SPIRITUAL WAY. ¤
00:27:43.12\00:27:53.03
>> WE HAVE A LOT OF GREAT
SPIRITUAL EMPHASIS PROGRAMS WITH
00:27:54.80\00:27:58.54
THE SCHOOL, AND ESPECIALLY
AS CHAPLAIN, I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
00:27:58.54\00:28:02.38
SEE STUDENTS REALLY GETTING TO
ENJOY KNOWING WHAT THE BIBLE HAS
00:28:02.38\00:28:06.18
TO SAY, AND TO HAVE BRAVERY WHEN
IT COMES TO ASKING QUESTIONS
00:28:06.18\00:28:11.85
ABOUT THE BIBLE SO THEY CAN
LEARN WHAT IT ACTUALLY HAS TO
00:28:11.85\00:28:18.23
SAY. SOME OF THE
CHALLENGES THAT CAN
00:28:18.23\00:28:20.06
COME UP FROM BEING HERE --
ONE OF THE BIGGEST IS DEFINITELY
00:28:20.06\00:28:24.50
COMMUNICATING
WITH PEOPLE BACK HOME.
00:28:24.50\00:28:26.40
IT'S HARD TO STAY CONNECTED.
AND YOU ARE KIND OF ON YOUR OWN
00:28:26.40\00:28:30.67
ON AN ISLAND, AND IT CAN BE
HARD TO FIND PEOPLE THAT YOU CAN
00:28:30.67\00:28:35.04
TRUST, WHEN IT COMES TO
FURTHERING YOUR SPIRITUAL
00:28:35.04\00:28:39.28
EXPERIENCE. SEEING
HOW GOD HAS LEAD ME, AND
00:28:39.28\00:28:42.68
HELPED ME MAKE DECISIONS, AND
THE PATH HE HAS PUT ME ON FOR
00:28:42.68\00:28:45.82
THE FUTURE, I CAN DEFINITELY
SEE HE IS IN CONTROL OUT HERE.
00:28:45.82\00:28:54.76
¤ >> I WAS SCARED TO BE THE
00:28:54.76\00:29:01.14
CHAPLAIN. I DIDN'T WANT THAT
00:29:01.14\00:29:02.80
RESPONSIBILITY. AND
THINGS ENDED UP THAT I WAS
00:29:02.80\00:29:05.17
ABLE TO BECOME THE CHAPLAIN FOR
MY SECOND YEAR COMING BACK, AND
00:29:05.17\00:29:08.78
I DIDN'T THINK I WAS READY,
BUT I WAS READY TO SEE WHAT GOD
00:29:08.78\00:29:12.78
COULD DO THROUGH
ME IN THAT POSITION.
00:29:12.78\00:29:14.98
THE PEOPLE OUT HERE ARE
READY TO HEAR THE GOSPEL.
00:29:14.98\00:29:18.32
THERE IS JUST VERY FEW PEOPLE
WHO HAVE BEE WILLING TO COME
00:29:18.32\00:29:21.26
OUT HERE AND TO SERVE.
JESUS FOUND HIS GREATEST
00:29:21.26\00:29:25.93
BLESSING IN SERVICE WHEN HE WAS
HERE, AND WE WANT TO FIGURE OUT
00:29:25.93\00:29:28.96
HOW TO GET CLOSEST TO HIM, THAN
OUR BEST BET IS TO GO OUT AND
00:29:28.96\00:29:34.97
SERVE THE WAY HE DID. ¤
00:29:34.97\00:29:45.71
>> IF GOD CALLS ME TO STAY
LONGER, I WOULDN'T BE OPPOSED TO
00:29:45.71\00:29:49.28
IT. ¤
00:29:49.28\00:29:53.86
>> WOW THAT JUST GIVES
ME HOPE AND ENCOURAGEMENT.
00:29:57.99\00:30:02.06
I REALLY LIKED WHAT HE SAID
THAT HE DIDN'T REALLY FEEL MAYBE
00:30:02.06\00:30:07.24
READY TO TAKE ON THE CALL OF THE
CHAPLAIN, OR NOT QUITE PREPARED.
00:30:07.24\00:30:12.54
THAT'S WHERE GOD
IS. HE CALLS YOU.
00:30:12.54\00:30:15.21
HE EQUIPS YOU. FOR
THOSE OF YOU AT HOME, IF YOU
00:30:15.21\00:30:19.55
FEEL GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO DO
SOMETHING, STEP OUT BY FAITH AND
00:30:19.55\00:30:24.52
GOD WILL PROVIDE. >> 30
YEARS AGO THIS IS WHERE MY
00:30:24.52\00:30:28.42
WIFE AND I SERVED AS STUDENT
MISSIONARIES THERE AT THE
00:30:28.42\00:30:35.96
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
WHERE COREY WAS TEACHING.
00:30:35.96\00:30:43.81
SO IT WAS THRILLING TO SEE
COREY'S EXAMPLE, AND IF YOUNG
00:30:43.81\00:30:48.51
PEOPLE, OR MAYBE SOME OF THE
VIEWERS HAVE -- YOU KNOW, YOUNG
00:30:48.51\00:30:53.45
ADULTS WHO ARE ALSO CONSIDERING,
THEY CAN SIGN UP FOR THAT
00:30:53.45\00:30:57.12
MISSION PROGRAM AS
WELL TODAY. >> FANTASTIC.
00:30:57.12\00:30:59.72
>> THIS REMINDS ME OF THE NEXT
VIDEO, BECAUSE IT WAS THERE IN
00:30:59.72\00:31:07.86
PALAU THAT GOD PUT US ON THIS
PROJECTRY, AND GUESS WHERE WE
00:31:07.86\00:31:14.37
LANDED? IN THAILAND.
00:31:14.37\00:31:16.30
SO THAT'S THE
NEXT VIDEO. >> OKAY.
00:31:16.30\00:31:19.14
LET'S GO TO THAT NOW. ¤
00:31:19.14\00:31:21.11
>> OKAY. YOU FIRST.
00:31:21.11\00:31:24.88
>> RIGHT NOW I'M IN
GRADE 8. >> AND I'M IN GRADE 2.
00:31:24.88\00:31:29.72
>> I AM IN GRADE 5. >>
I AM IN GRADE 9 AND I HAVE
00:31:29.72\00:31:34.82
BEEN HERE SINCE GRADE 1.
>> MY IS FAVORITE SUBJECT IS
00:31:34.82\00:31:44.43
SCIENCE? >> MY FAVORITE IS ART.
00:31:44.43\00:31:46.30
>> WE LEARNED CODING AND TYPING.
WE LEARNED TO TYPE FASTER.
00:31:46.30\00:31:51.94
>> THE SCHOOL BEGAN BECAUSE
PARENTS WERE LOOKING FOR AN
00:31:51.94\00:31:58.61
INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL THAT COULD
HELP THEIR CHILDREN WITH ENGLISH
00:31:58.61\00:32:02.08
PRIMARILY, AND THEY KNEW
ABOUT THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
00:32:02.08\00:32:05.02
SYSTEM, SO THEY CAME AND
ASKED US TO START A SCHOOL HERE.
00:32:05.02\00:32:08.39
>> WE STARTED WITH 16
CHILDREN. WE ONLY HAVE THESE TWO
00:32:08.39\00:32:14.46
CLASSROOMS HERE. >>
THIS SCHOOL IS HERE TO LET
00:32:14.46\00:32:25.31
THEM KNOW ABOUT JESUS
CHRIST. >> ONE THING THAT REALLY
00:32:25.31\00:32:27.38
IMPRESSED ME ABOUT THE STUDENTS,
THEY WERE SO EAGER TO LEARN, NOT
00:32:27.38\00:32:28.94
ONLY ENGLISH, BUT THEY WERE SO
EAGER TO LEARN SO MANY THINGS,
00:32:28.94\00:32:34.18
ESPECIALLY BIBLES. >>
THEY TEACH US THE BIBLE.
00:32:34.18\00:32:39.82
AND I LIKE THE BIBLE. >>
I COME TO KNOW MORE ABOUT
00:32:39.82\00:32:42.92
[ INAUDIBLE ]. >> I
HAVE LEARNED MANY THINGS.
00:32:42.92\00:32:45.69
WE ALSO READ THE
BIBLE IN THE MORNING.
00:32:45.69\00:32:48.43
AS A TEACHER, I'M TRYING
MY BEST TO BE A GOOD EXAMPLE.
00:32:48.43\00:32:53.47
SO MY CONTRIBUTION IS THAT
INTRODUCING GOD TO THESE YOUNG
00:32:53.47\00:32:59.51
GENERATION -- YOUNG
LEADERS OF THAILAND.
00:32:59.51\00:33:03.21
>> MY HOPE AND PRAYER IS THAT
THEY DO NOT FORGET WHAT THEY
00:33:03.21\00:33:07.92
LEARNED, AND WHEREVER THEY GO
LATER, THEY WILL ALWAYS ACCEPT
00:33:07.92\00:33:13.59
JESUS IN THEIR HEARTS. ¤
00:33:13.59\00:33:18.53
[ LAUGHTER ] >> THIS
SCHOOL MIGHT BE SMALL.
00:33:18.53\00:33:28.90
IT'S LIKE A
NICE SMALL COMMUNITY.
00:33:28.90\00:33:31.84
>> WE PLAY TOGETHER.
AND WE ARE KIND AND SHAE.
00:33:31.84\00:33:36.95
>> BECAUSE PARENTS FEEL THAT
WE ARE GIVING THEIR CHILDREN
00:33:36.95\00:33:43.35
VALUES, WORKING HARD TO BUILD
GOOD CHARACTER FOR THEM, I WOULD
00:33:43.35\00:33:45.39
ASK FOR THE WORLD COMMUNITY
OR THE CHURCH COMMUNITY TO PRAY
00:33:45.39\00:33:49.39
THAT THOSE VALUES WILL BE VERY
EFFECTIVE, AND THAT THEY WILL BE
00:33:49.39\00:33:55.13
OF A TREMENDOUS
BENEFIT TO THE THAI COMMUNITY.
00:33:55.13\00:34:00.34
>> Translator: MY DAUGHTER
IS MORE OF A LEADER THAN BEFORE.
00:34:00.34\00:34:03.87
NOW SHE CAN EXPLAIN HERSELF.
SHE CAN DO MORE THAN BEFORE.
00:34:03.87\00:34:07.34
>> I FEEL LIKE I HAVE
BECOME MORE RESPONSIBLE.
00:34:07.34\00:34:12.18
>> I WANT A BIGGER SCHOOL SO
THAT WE CAN HAVE PLACES TO PLAY
00:34:12.18\00:34:16.62
AND STUDY. >> WE
ARE GROWING, AND IT IS
00:34:16.62\00:34:19.45
REALLY NOT ENOUGH NOW. WE
ARE STRUGGLING -- RIGHT NOW
00:34:19.45\00:34:22.12
WE ARE SHARING A
CLASSROOM WITH THE TEACHERS.
00:34:22.12\00:34:25.53
>> THE IDEA OF AN INTERNATIONAL
SCHOOL IN THAILAND IS THAT IT IS
00:34:25.53\00:34:29.60
A VERY NICE PLACE
FOR STUDENTS TO GO.
00:34:29.60\00:34:31.33
THE FACILITIES ARE NICE.
OUR PARENTS UNDERSTAND THAT WE
00:34:31.33\00:34:36.57
TEACH GOOD VALUES, BUT
WHEN THEIR FRIENDS LOOK AT OUR
00:34:36.57\00:34:40.18
SCHOOL, THEY SEE SOMETHING
THAT IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF AN
00:34:40.18\00:34:44.21
INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL. SOME
OF THEIR FRIENDS DON'T WANT
00:34:44.21\00:34:47.02
TO SEND THEIR CHILDREN TO OUR
SCHOOL, BECAUSE OF THE FACILITY
00:34:47.02\00:34:51.52
NOT BEING REPRESENTATIVE. >>
WE WOULD LIKE A NEW FACILITY,
00:34:51.52\00:34:57.99
BECAUSE WE ARE GETTING BIGGER.
>> Translator: I FEEL VERY HAPPY
00:34:57.99\00:35:02.73
THAT WE WILL BE
GETTING A NEW BUILDING.
00:35:02.73\00:35:05.63
WE'LL HAVE MORE TO SUPPORT THE
SCHOOL, NOT ONLY TO SUPPORT THE
00:35:05.63\00:35:09.44
SCHOOL, IF WE SUPPORT THE
SCHOOL, IT MEANS THAT WE ARE
00:35:09.44\00:35:14.24
SUPPORTING THE CHILDREN.
>> EACH CLASS IS VERY SPECIAL,
00:35:14.24\00:35:17.61
AND I KNOW THAT GOD STARTED
THIS SCHOOL, AND I BELIEVE HE
00:35:17.61\00:35:22.55
HANDPICKED EACH STUDENT TO BE
HERE, AND HE WANTS THEM SAVED,
00:35:22.55\00:35:29.36
SO FOR ME, UNTIL JESUS
COMES THIS WILL CONTINUE.
00:35:29.36\00:35:32.79
I'M SORRY. YEAH.
00:35:32.79\00:35:33.50
¤ >> I LIKE THIS SCHOOL.
00:35:33.50\00:35:46.34
I WILL NEVER GO
TO ANOTHER SCHOOL.
00:35:46.34\00:35:51.08
>> AMEN. YOU KNOW,
JUST TO SEE WHAT GOD
00:36:00.49\00:36:03.39
IS DOING THROUGH EDUCATION.
WE DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO GIVE
00:36:03.39\00:36:08.46
BIBLE STUDIES
OR PREACH A SERMON.
00:36:08.46\00:36:11.27
WE CAN PRAY, LIKE ON THE FIRST
CITY WITH THE BUTTERFLY, BUT WE
00:36:11.27\00:36:15.17
CAN EDUCATE, TEACH, AND SHARE
JESUS AND THE GOSPEL THROUGH
00:36:15.17\00:36:21.04
THAT. THIS IS
TRULY A MISSION SCHOOL.
00:36:21.04\00:36:23.68
IS THAT WHAT YOU CALL
IT? >> A MISSION SCHOOL.
00:36:23.68\00:36:29.05
>> WAS ABOUT THAT CUTE
THAT LITTLE GIRL AT THE END.
00:36:29.05\00:36:32.75
AND THE TEACHER SAID SHE HOPES
THIS SCHOOL WITH CONTINUE UNTIL
00:36:32.75\00:36:37.16
JESUS COMES. >> I
KNOW WHEN THE VIDEO GUYS GO
00:36:37.16\00:36:41.10
OUT, THEY LOVE GOING TO SCHOOLS,
BECAUSE THE KIDS ARE SO MUCH
00:36:41.10\00:36:46.23
FUN. SOMETIMES
THEY WILL BE OUT THERE
00:36:46.23\00:36:49.10
PLAYING SOCCER AND THEY
WILL PUT THEIR CAMERA DOWN.
00:36:49.10\00:36:52.67
>> THAT'S GREAT. >>
BUT THIS QUARTER WE HAVE A
00:36:52.67\00:36:55.68
SPECIAL EMPHASIS THAT
WE CALL THE 13TH SABBATH.
00:36:55.68\00:37:00.18
THE 13TH SABBATH OF THAT
QUARTER, CHURCHES AROUND THE
00:37:00.18\00:37:04.99
WORLD WILL COLLECT A SPECIAL
OFFERING TO SUPPORT OUR PROJECT.
00:37:04.99\00:37:08.42
AND THIS IS ONE OF THE
PROJECTS FOR THIS QUARTER.
00:37:08.42\00:37:14.36
SO THE 13TH SABBATH, THAT'S ONE
OF THE PROJECTS TO HELP THOSE
00:37:14.36\00:37:20.70
KIDS HAVE A BIGGER SCHOOL.
>> HOW MANY STUDENTS DO THEY
00:37:20.70\00:37:24.71
HAVE AT THE
SCHOOL? >> I DO NOT KNOW.
00:37:24.71\00:37:26.84
>> BECAUSE IT LOOKED LIKE A LOT
OF KIDS FROM THE CAMERA SHOT.
00:37:26.84\00:37:31.08
>> PASTOR GARY, I KNOW THERE'S
PROBABLY A LOT OF NON-CHRISTIANS
00:37:31.08\00:37:36.55
THAT ATTEND -- >> I
BELIEVE IT'S ABOUT 99% ARE
00:37:36.55\00:37:39.89
NOT CHRISTIAN. >>
SAY THAT ONE MORE TIME.
00:37:39.89\00:37:42.89
>> 99%. >> ISN'T THAT AMAZING.
00:37:42.89\00:37:45.86
>> SO THAT IS A MISSION SCHOOL.
>> THAT IS A MISSION SCHOOL.
00:37:45.86\00:37:50.63
>> UNBELIEVABLE. AND
SOME OF THEM -- I HEAR THEM
00:37:50.63\00:37:54.64
SAY THEY ARE
LEARNING ABOUT JESUS.
00:37:54.64\00:37:57.97
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >>
PRAISE GOD, AND PRAISE THE
00:37:57.97\00:38:03.85
TEACHERS THAT ARE THERE.
NOW WE'RE GOING TO SWITCH TO
00:38:03.85\00:38:07.35
GLOBAL MISSION AND
GLOBAL MISSION PIONEERS.
00:38:07.35\00:38:10.59
WHAT ARE GLOBAL
MISSION PIONEERS?
00:38:10.59\00:38:12.62
>> THEY ARE LAY PEOPLE.
THEY ARE PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND ME,
00:38:12.62\00:38:16.42
WHO ARE CALLED TO START A NEW
CONGREGATION OF BELIEVERS, SO
00:38:16.42\00:38:24.27
THEY GO TO A NEW GROUP AND
MINGLE WITH THE PEOPLE, THEY
00:38:24.27\00:38:28.67
SHOW SYMPATHY, THEY MINISTER
TO THEIR NEEDS, THEY WIN THEIR
00:38:28.67\00:38:33.64
CONFIDENCE AND THEN THEY
BID THEM TO FOLLOW JESUS.
00:38:33.64\00:38:37.51
THEY RECEIVE A VERY SMALL LIVING
STIPEND, ENOUGH TO RENT A SMALL
00:38:37.51\00:38:44.12
ROOM, HAVE SOME FOOD ON
THE TABLE AND THAT'S IT.
00:38:44.12\00:38:49.06
AND OUR NEXT VIDEO IS
ABOUT A MISSION PIONEER.
00:38:49.06\00:38:55.33
>> LET'S GO THERE. >>
THIS NOMADIC GROUP LIVE SO
00:38:55.33\00:39:04.77
REMOTELY, THAT THEY ALL PAUSE
TO WATCH A SMALL PLANE FLY OVER.
00:39:04.77\00:39:10.18
FOR YEARS SHARING THE GOSPEL
WITH REMOTE GROUPS HAS BEEN A
00:39:10.18\00:39:15.05
CHALLENGE. THEY
FOLLOW THEIR LIVESTOCK AND
00:39:15.05\00:39:23.02
WANDER THE LAND TO SURVIVE.
THEIR BEADS AND CLOTHING HAVE
00:39:23.02\00:39:27.00
DEEP HISTORICAL
ROOTS IN THEIR CULTURE.
00:39:27.00\00:39:29.23
THEY MOVE WITH THEIR CATTLE,
AND THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE
00:39:29.23\00:39:33.23
PRACTICE LOCAL ETHNIC RELIGIONS.
SO HOW DO YOU SHARE THE GOSPEL
00:39:33.23\00:39:37.77
WITH SUCH AN INREACHED PEOPLE
GROUP THAT IS ALWAYS ON THE
00:39:37.77\00:39:42.34
MOVE? THIS TRIBE
HAS BENEFITED FROM
00:39:42.34\00:39:44.91
THE WORK OF A
GLOBAL MISSION PIONEER.
00:39:44.91\00:39:47.75
¤
00:39:47.75\00:39:52.12
>> LAWRENCE BECAME AN ADVENTIST
ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, AND HAS
00:39:55.49\00:39:59.56
DEDICATED HIS LIFE TO SHARING
THE GOOD NEWS HE LEARNED.
00:39:59.56\00:40:02.86
HE STUDIED WITH TWO PASTORS TO
FULFILL THE MISSION GOD CALLED
00:40:02.86\00:40:07.74
HIM TO. HE SPEAKS
THE LANGUAGE, KNOWS
00:40:07.74\00:40:13.84
THE CUSTOMS AND CAN COMMUNICATE
GOD'S WORD IN A WAY THEY
00:40:13.84\00:40:19.28
UNDERSTAND. THIS
GROUP HAS COME TO KNOW THE
00:40:19.28\00:40:21.98
LOVE OF GOD AND HAS
ACCEPTED JESUS INTO THEIR HEART.
00:40:21.98\00:40:25.45
THEY MEET UNDER A TREE TO
STUDY AND LEARN FROM LAWRENCE.
00:40:25.45\00:40:30.89
THIS SABBATH THEY LEARNED ABOUT
THE STORY OF ABRAHAM AND HOW HE
00:40:30.89\00:40:38.10
MOVED TO A DISTANT LAND.
THAT IS A PART OF THEIR LIVES
00:40:38.10\00:40:45.11
THAT THEY UNDERSTAND WELL.
THESE PEOPLE LOVE TO SING, AND
00:40:45.11\00:40:53.78
THIS GROUP IS NO EXCEPTION.
THEY SING TO WORSHIP AND EXPRESS
00:40:53.78\00:40:59.35
THEIR LOVE FOR GOD.
THEY SPEND THE DAY GATHERED
00:40:59.35\00:41:03.96
TOGETHER, TELLING
STORIES, SINGING, AND EATING.
00:41:03.96\00:41:13.77
NOT FAR AWAY ARE THEIR HOMES
WHERE THEY GO TO SLEEP AT NIGHT.
00:41:13.77\00:41:18.31
THESE HOMES ARE MADE OF
MATERIALS RANGING FROM ANIMAL
00:41:18.31\00:41:22.38
SKINS TO EMPTY RICE BAGS.
THE TYPE OF HOME IS VALUED
00:41:22.38\00:41:28.32
BECAUSE IT CAN EASILY BE PACKED
UP TO MOVE AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE.
00:41:28.32\00:41:34.52
THEIR HOMES ARE
THEIR SAFE SPACES.
00:41:34.52\00:41:36.46
THEY GO HERE TO BE PROTECTED
FROM DANGEROUS ANIMALS.
00:41:36.46\00:41:41.53
THE HOMES ARE A REFUGE FOR THE
FAMILY, AND TO BE INVITED INSIDE
00:41:41.53\00:41:45.93
IS A PRIVILEGE. THEY
EXTEND THIS PRIVILEGE TO
00:41:45.93\00:41:49.27
LAWRENCE, ALLOWING HIM TO SHARE
LESSONS FROM THE BIBLE IN THEIR
00:41:49.27\00:41:53.91
HOMES. HE VISITS
THEM OFTEN, AND THEY
00:41:53.91\00:41:55.81
LOOK FORWARD TO
READING AND PRAYING WITH HIM.
00:41:55.81\00:41:59.48
THIS GROUP HAS COME TO KNOW THE
LOVE OF GOD, BUT THEY ARE JUST
00:41:59.48\00:42:04.25
ONE OF THE MANY NOMADIC
GROUPS THROUGHOUT EAST AFRICA.
00:42:04.25\00:42:08.62
PLEASE PRAY FOR THE UNREACHED
PEOPLE GROUP THERES THIS PART OF
00:42:08.62\00:42:12.06
THE WORLD. IT'S A
CHALLENGE TO SPREAD THE
00:42:12.06\00:42:16.43
GOSPEL HERE. PRAY
FOR GLOBAL MISSIONARIES
00:42:16.43\00:42:23.67
LIKE LAWRENCE. THANK
YOU FOR SUPPORTING GLOBAL

THIS IS JUST INCONSPIRING.
00:42:30.55\00:42:35.25
I KNOW, RICK, YOU WERE
THERE WHEN THIS WAS FILMED?
00:42:35.25\00:42:40.22
>> YES. AND I WAS
ACTUALLY TRAVELLING
00:42:40.22\00:42:42.69
WITH TWO PASTORS FROM KENYA,
WHO'S NAMES HAPPENED TO BE PAUL
00:42:42.69\00:42:47.20
AND SILAS. >> DID THEY REALLY?
00:42:47.20\00:42:50.23
[ LAUGHTER ] >> YEAH.
00:42:50.23\00:42:53.57
GREAT MISSIONARY NAMES.
AND WE WENT TO THIS VILLAGE AND
00:42:53.57\00:42:58.94
JUST UP THE ROAD WE RAN INTO
A HERD OF ELEPHANTS, AND WE JUST
00:42:58.94\00:43:03.01
HAD TO STOP. AND THEN
WE GOT THERE, THEY COME
00:43:03.01\00:43:05.71
OUT AND GREET YOU SINGING LIKE
-THAT. AND THEN THEY HAVE THE
00:43:05.71\00:43:10.89
CHURCH SERVICE RIGHT UNDER THAT
TREE, AND LAWRENCE SPOKE AND ONE
00:43:10.89\00:43:14.06
OF THE PASTORS ALSO SPOKE.
BUT ONE THING -- I DON'T KNOW IF
00:43:14.06\00:43:16.96
YOU CAN SEE THERE -- BUT IN
THAT TREE THERE'S A LITTLE BAG
00:43:16.96\00:43:21.46
HANGING. >> I SAW THAT.
00:43:21.46\00:43:22.53
>> YES, THEY USE THAT AND THEY
COLLECT THE OFFERINGS, AND THEY
00:43:22.53\00:43:27.34
PASS IT AROUND. HIS
PEOPLE GIVE OFFERINGS, AND I
00:43:27.34\00:43:30.61
JUST TOUCHES MY HEART TO
KNOW THEY ARE LEARNING ABOUT
00:43:30.61\00:43:34.51
ADVENTISM, AND THE CHURCH,
AND JESUS, BUT THEY WANT TO HELP
00:43:34.51\00:43:39.38
SUPPORT THE WORK IN SOME WAY.
>> WOW, THAT'S POWERFUL, ISN'T
00:43:39.38\00:43:43.15
IT PASTOR GARY? >> YEAH, IT IS.
00:43:43.15\00:43:47.29
SOMETIMES I'M AFRAID THEY ARE
MORE FAITHFUL WITH THE LITTLE
00:43:47.29\00:43:53.13
THEY HAVE THAN WHAT WE HAVE.
I HAVE SEEN THE PIONEERS WITH
00:43:53.13\00:44:03.04
SHOES WITH HOLES
IN THEM, ET CETERA.
00:44:03.04\00:44:05.77
AND I'LL NEVER FORGET WHEN I WAS
IN THE COUNTRY OF INDIA, AND I
00:44:05.77\00:44:11.05
HAPPENED TO SAY TO GLOBAL
PIONEER, HOW MANY HAVE YOU LEAD
00:44:11.05\00:44:17.75
TO JESUS? AND HE
SAID, OH, ABOUT 700.
00:44:17.75\00:44:23.26
HE HAD A TORN SHIRT -- >> WOW.
00:44:23.26\00:44:25.73
>> WOW. >> YOU
KNOW WHAT IMPRESSED ME
00:44:25.73\00:44:28.03
TOO, AS I WAS LOOKING AT
THAT VIDEO, WAS THEIR CHURCH.
00:44:28.03\00:44:32.50
THE WALLS WERE LITTLE STICKS
OR BRIARERS, AND THE PATHWAY WAS
00:44:32.50\00:44:41.24
LINED WITH PRETTY WHITE
STONES. THEY GIVE IT EVERYTHING.
00:44:41.24\00:44:44.35
>> THAT JUST
TOUCHES MY HEART. >> ME TOO.
00:44:44.35\00:44:50.45
POWERFUL. PRAISE
THE LORD FOR DEDICATED
00:44:50.45\00:44:52.65
FOLK AROUND THE WORLD. >>
YEAH, I JUST THINK ABOUT HOW
00:44:52.65\00:44:58.46
COMPLAISANT I GET.
YOU SIT IN YOUR HOUSE AND
00:44:58.46\00:45:01.43
COMPLAIN ABOUT -- I DON'T
KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO WEAR?
00:45:01.43\00:45:04.63
WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH
ANYTHING, COMPARED TO PEOPLE WHO
00:45:04.63\00:45:11.51
ARE SACRIFICING, AND
THINK ABOUT LAWRENCE.
00:45:11.51\00:45:15.48
TWO YEARS. HE KNEW
THE TRUTH, AND HE IS
00:45:15.48\00:45:18.25
ALREADY SHARING IT. WE
WOULD BE LIKE, WE NEED MORE
00:45:18.25\00:45:21.85
TRAINING -- >> TOO
NERVOUS, TOO SCARED.
00:45:21.85\00:45:24.99
>> RIGHT. I DON'T
KNOW ENOUGH, AND HE IS
00:45:24.99\00:45:28.39
OUT THERE. WHAT
PERCENTAGE OF GLOBAL
00:45:28.39\00:45:30.76
PIONEERS -- HOW MANY ARE NEW
IN THE CHURCH AND HOW MANY HAVE
00:45:30.76\00:45:34.83
BEEN IN FOR YEARS? >>
WE DON'T HAVE AN EXACT
00:45:34.83\00:45:42.07
BREAKDOWN, BUT A HIGH PERCENTAGE
SEEM TO ME ARE RELATIVELY NEW
00:45:42.07\00:45:48.71
ADVENTISTS. AND THEY
ARE HUNGRY TO BE ABLE
00:45:48.71\00:45:50.75
TO SHARE THE GOOD YOUS.
>> DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA OF THE
00:45:50.75\00:45:54.78
NUMBER OF PIONEER
MISSIONARIES THAT ARE OUT THERE?
00:45:54.78\00:46:00.32
>> THE GLOBAL MISSION PIONEERS,
I KNOW THERE ARE SEVERAL
00:46:00.32\00:46:04.53
HUNDRED, BUT I CAN'T
GIVE YOU THE EXACT NUMBER.
00:46:04.53\00:46:06.90
>> WHEN WE WERE IN THAILAND,
I THEN SERVED IN THE SOUTHERN

PACIFIC DIVISION, AND WE HAD
AROUND 230 IN THAT AREA, FUNDED
00:46:12.60\00:46:17.64
BY THE ANNUAL SACRIFICE
-OFFERING, SO THAT'S WHERE TO
SERVE THE 14 COUNTRIES AND TO
00:46:17.64\00:46:23.71
REACH 1 BILLION PEOPLE, AND SO
THAT'S WHY RIGHT NOW -- I'M ALSO
00:46:23.71\00:46:28.68
MOVED AT THEIR SACRIFICE.
SO THAT'S WHERE -- LIKE JESUS
00:46:28.68\00:46:32.12
DID, WHEN HE SAW THE JOY
THAT WAS SET BEFORE HIM, THAT HE
00:46:32.12\00:46:35.66
ENDURED THE
CROSS. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:46:35.66\00:46:37.39
>> BECAUSE HE SAW THE
JOY OF LEADING ONE -- ME.
00:46:37.39\00:46:44.37
LEADING ME TO ENTER HIS JOY.
AND WE CAN HAVE THAT JOY TODAY.
00:46:44.37\00:46:51.21
>> THERE IS ANOTHER COUNTRY THAT
HAS ABOUT 400 GLOBAL MISSION
00:46:51.21\00:46:56.24

NOT EASY TO CONVINCE PARENTS TO
SEND THEIR CHILDREN TO SCHOOL,
00:49:17.52\00:49:21.49
BECAUSE THEY NEED THEIR CHILDREN
TO HELP WORK THE FIELDS.
00:49:21.49\00:49:25.96
AFTER THEY SPEND TIME EARNING
THEIR TRUSTS AND EXPLAINING THE
00:49:25.96\00:49:31.60
BENEFITS OF EDUCATION FOR THEY
FUTURE, THE PARENTS ALLOW THEIR

THIS IS ONE SUCH PARENT.

WANTED TO BECOME AN ADVENTIST IS
BECAUSE OF THE MANY GOOD THINGS

I LEARNED FROM MY CHILDREN.
THE ADVENTIST SCHOOL TAUGHT THEM
00:50:32.69\00:50:37.07
MANY GOOD THINGS LIKE THE TRUTH
OF SCRIPTURE AND THE LOVE OF
00:50:37.07\00:50:40.77

FROM MY CHILDREN, I
00:50:40.77\00:50:42.87

BECOME AN ADVENTIST LIKE THEM,

ANOTHER AMAZING ROLE.
AND WHAT IS AMAZING TO ME IS
00:51:48.10\00:51:51.87
THAT THE CHILDREN ARE LEARNING
ABOUT JESUS, BUT THEN THEY ARE
00:51:51.87\00:51:54.84
ALSO GIVING THAT TO THEIR
PARENTS AND THAT'S MAKING AN
00:51:54.84\00:51:57.88

ATTEND PUBLIC SCHOOLS, BECAUSE
THEY DON'T HAVE THE PROPER
